It's like 48 00:02:15,709 --> 00:02:18,228 Speaker 3: it's kind of out like it's like if you're not 49 00:02:18,629 --> 00:02:23,469 Speaker 3: going a bit feral, then you're not getting as lost 50 00:02:23,469 --> 00:02:26,989 Speaker 3: in it as you could. To me, it's like it's like, yeah, 51 00:02:27,069 --> 00:02:29,709 Speaker 3: like having like long fingernails and like you haven't shaved 52 00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:32,788 Speaker 3: and you smell a bit, you know, like you've got it, 53 00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:35,029 Speaker 3: and you're just sort of like completely you know, you're 54 00:02:35,069 --> 00:02:38,709 Speaker 3: like mister Burns in that the Casino episode. 55 00:02:40,429 --> 00:02:42,269 Speaker 1: Did you have any moments where like your wife would 56 00:02:42,269 --> 00:02:44,189 Speaker 1: come and visit you, like during the record, like she 57 00:02:44,429 --> 00:02:46,909 Speaker 1: brings over some croissants or something and was pretty rattled 58 00:02:46,949 --> 00:02:47,549 Speaker 1: by the site. 59 00:02:48,069 --> 00:02:50,749 Speaker 3: Yeah, she does what she can, but she knows, you know, 60 00:02:50,909 --> 00:02:53,349 Speaker 3: she's not at the first radio either. She knows how 61 00:02:53,389 --> 00:02:56,509 Speaker 3: to how to deal with me in that state in 62 00:02:56,549 --> 00:02:57,789 Speaker 3: those times. 63 00:02:57,589 --> 00:02:59,709 Speaker 2: I mean in the creative process there because I know, 64 00:02:59,789 --> 00:03:01,389 Speaker 2: like down the other end of the spectrum, you know, 65 00:03:01,389 --> 00:03:04,389 Speaker 2: because you can push that to five her Trent Resner 66 00:03:04,509 --> 00:03:06,989 Speaker 2: talk about their first nine Inchnurs record and how it's 67 00:03:06,989 --> 00:03:08,429 Speaker 2: like I'm only I'm getting on the getting the art 68 00:03:08,429 --> 00:03:10,948 Speaker 2: out of myself if I'm going on these massive vendors 69 00:03:10,989 --> 00:03:13,469 Speaker 2: and you know it. And I think he said I 70 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:16,149 Speaker 2: couldn't do it again otherwise I die. So he has 71 00:03:16,189 --> 00:03:17,709 Speaker 2: he has process now where he's like, I just get 72 00:03:17,789 --> 00:03:19,228 Speaker 2: up everyone. I think the quot he used was like, 73 00:03:19,269 --> 00:03:21,349 Speaker 2: I can't control when lightning happens, but I can be 74 00:03:21,429 --> 00:03:22,189 Speaker 2: ready for it. 75 00:03:22,389 --> 00:03:23,508 Speaker 3: I can.
