1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the Morning Satham. Well, our next

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: guest is the only male artist in history whose first

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: seven singles reached the top five of the Billboard charts.

4
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: And what a list of songs. This man has had

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: endless summer nights. Hazard right here waiting.

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 2: Don't mean nothing. I love this one. Yeah, I agree.

7
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,320
Speaker 1: Well, there's no need to wait any longer. See, you've

8
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: wrecked my intro. No need to wait any longer. Go

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: So anyway, Richard Mark's good morning.

10
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 3: Good morning, how are you going?

11
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: Well?

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 4: Sorry for fighting in front of you, Richard, but it's

13
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 4: great to have you on the show.

14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 2: I love the new song as well. Another one down,

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: We've got a bit of that.

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 1: Oh, I love it.

17
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 4: Just does it make you feel uncomfortable when people play

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 4: your songs back to you?

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: Do you think, oh, you know, how do I react

20
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: at this point?

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you should have seen me. I was

22
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 3: dancing around my kitchen.

23
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: Just sounds as you should be speaking about being in

24
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: your kitchen. You've been so prolific in isolation with your

25
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: social distancing web series. You've got another one called Beachin,

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: and you're part of Tequila Talk. You're not sitting idle

27
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: at home by any means no.

28
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 3: If anything, I was probably doing a little bit more

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: than I anticipated in the first few weeks of this

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: whole situation, and I've calmed it down a little bit.

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 3: But it's been really actually, really fun to teach. And

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: every Friday, I post a little three song mini concert,

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 3: which is which is you know, I hope that people

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 3: like it, but it's also just therapeutic for me. You know,

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: I was set to be on I mean, I'm a

36
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 3: touring musician, so I was set to do this really

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: long tour of Europe right when this thing happened, and

38
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 3: had like forty or fifty dates scheduled this year, which

39
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: are all, you know, a big question mark. So at least, yeah,

40
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 3: at least I just sit in front of my phone

41
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: with my guitar and do a little mini concert every Friday,

42
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: and that, you know, it's therapeutic for me at least.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: Because it would be hard if you're a touring artist,

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: as you say, You've got all that anticipation about the tour,

45
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 4: you know, the good, the bad, the ugly, and then

46
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: all of a sudden that's all taken away from you.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, I have it so much better

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 3: than most people. And I'm aware of that. I'm very grateful,

49
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: you know. I'm so you know, for me to complain

50
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: about being stuck at home in Malibu with my beautiful wife,

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: and I'm not complaining. I'm just saying it's an adjustment.

52
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Just take. Everybody else is sort of adjusting to their

53
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 3: own circumstances, and it's just, you know, it's just so

54
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: strange for me to not have shows to go to

55
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 3: do you know anytime soon?

56
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 1: G I enjoy following you on Twitter, and you take

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: no prisoners. I know that. The sort of the pro

58
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: Trump people, I don't know why they still bother following

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: you because you are hilariously profane in how you deal

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: with them. So I assume you're not sitting at home

61
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: drinking bleach right now.

62
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: No, No, we're not. I'm not trying out the life

63
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 3: alts me or the you know, I'm not going outside

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 3: and opening my mouth and sticking it up to the

65
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: sun and hopes that that's going to do something. No.

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: But you know, it's interesting because Twitter is the only

67
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: platform if you look at my Instagram page, for example,

68
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: or even my Facebook page, so there's no there's no

69
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: politics there's there's never any politics in my show. I

70
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 3: never ever utter a political word when I'm on stage.

71
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 3: I just don't think that that's the time and place.

72
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: But Twitter is its own animal, and I sort of

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: have a field day on that one.

74
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: I love it. You've had a great field datis.

75
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: I've actually loved love, Death, lull lad many times that

76
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: you'll comments to people can't.

77
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Help people being stupid, can you.

78
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: That's a great That's a great compliment, Brendon. Thank you.

79
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: So your last album, Beautiful Goodbye, you said, well, it

80
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: kind of closed the book on one chapter of your life.

81
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: And you've said that the new album, Limitless, represents a

82
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: new beginning. What did you mean by that?

83
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 3: I don't know that it's really that as much. Which

84
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 3: is you know, when I wrote the title track, the

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: song Limitless, I wrote it with a young singer songwriter

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 3: here in California named Michael Jade's terribly talented, and he

87
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: did a little bit of work with me on the

88
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 3: Beautiful Goodbye album. He did some engineering and some playing

89
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: and stuff. But when you wrote that song, I felt

90
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 3: like it was a metaphor for not only the love

91
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: in my life, the romantic love in my life, which

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 3: is my life in general. I feel like I'm at

93
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: a place where everything and anything seems possible, except right now,

94
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 3: I can't leave my house. Aside from Aside from the

95
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: current circumstances, I feel, I feel sort of intellectually limitless.

96
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: I feel like anything is possible and if you dream it,

97
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 3: it's possible. And so I think a lot of the

98
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: album sort of takes on a little hint of that.

99
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: I think it's a really kind of mostly a fun, happy,

100
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: up tempo kind of album, and I think that's kind

101
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: of what we all need right now. You know, I

102
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: certainly don't want to hear a bunch of sad, depressing

103
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 3: songs right now.

104
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: Indeed.

105
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,719
Speaker 4: Well, Richard, you're doing great work and we'd love to

106

Speaker 4: see you come back to Australia when this is all over.

107
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: Maybe we can have a cup of Clorox together.

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, I'll tell you what. Why don't we stick

109
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 3: with Martinez.

110
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: And see how we go?
