The Gracious Two - LIVE Show 024 - Cashel OReilly

The Gracious Two, Chad Gracey and John Rotolo ( JRo or Mr. GoodTimes ) discussed several topics. They criticized the prosecution of Trump's cases in Georgia and New York, suggesting that they are falling apart and being politicized. They also talked about the use of lawfare by Democrats against their political opponents. The conversation shifted to the issue of asset valuation, with John stating that it's not a crime to overvalue assets in a bank application especially if bank accepts it. They also touched on the Ashley Biden diary, which alleges inappropriate behavior within her Dad. They ended the conversation by expressing concern over the treatment of former President Trump because they could use what they are using against him, against anyone!


South African Wildlife and Music Experiences:

John and Chad talked to Cashel Reilly who shared his experiences living near wildlife in South Africa, with Cashel having encounters with lions, leopards, and buffalos. They discussed what to do if one encounters a lion. The nature of musical talent was also discussed, with the consensus being that anyone can learn music theory and play an instrument, but having a natural musical ear is a gift.

JRo, Gracey and Cashel's conversation shifted to the possibility of Elon Musk or Dave Matthews running for political office in South Africa. John shared a tragic story about Dave Matthews' sister, which was new information to the others. The conversation then shifted to an athlete who identified as a woman and had also won gold medals at the Olympics. The participants also discussed a concert at the Jo Dome in South Africa.


South Africa's Sports, Politics and Power Challenges:

The guys discussed South Africa's recent sports achievements, such as the Rugby team's success in the Webex cup and UFC fighter, Dricus Du Plessis's recent win. They also touched on the political and social landscape, including an upcoming national election. The conversation highlighted the country's history, including its transition to democracy and the role of their power supplier, Escom. The guys also discussed the impact of planned power outages on businesses and the people in SA, with Cashel explaining that despite the hardships, there is a sense of camaraderie among the South African people.

Technology, Safety and Law Concerns:

The Gracious Two & Cashel had a discussion about the changes they've observed in the younger generation, particularly the increased use of technology and its impacts on children's behavior and safety. They also shared their safety concerns, with Cashel mentioning his worries about crime and punishment, including theft and violence in shanty towns, illegal immigration, and petty theft in California. Additionally, they expressed their frustration over the state of the law in New York and California, particularly the issue of cashless bail and the normalization of terms like 'shopping without money' to describe theft. They also touched on the problem of self-defense laws.


U.S. Election and Immigration Concerns:

The discussion primarily revolved around the 2020 U.S. presidential election, with the participants expressing their views on Joe Biden's victory and his leadership. They also touched on societal issues such as gender politics, COVID-19 responses, and immigration policies. The participants expressed concern over the open borders policy, claiming that Biden's administration was making it easy for illegal immigrants to cross the border. They also discussed the impact of U.S. funding of the Ukraine war, with John expressing doubt about the relevance of the funding to U.S. interests. The conversation also highlighted the flow of money within the military industrial complex of the United States, with the participants expressing concern over the discrepancy in funding and the presence of unaccounted purposes.

00:00:17.339 --> 00:00:24.079
we are live ladies and gentlemen boys and girls

00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:29.609
gracious to back at it again hello What up, Chad?

00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:35.030
Is this 24? 24, that's right. That is correct,

00:00:35.450 --> 00:00:38.969
dude. We're moving up in the world. Keep cranking

00:00:38.969 --> 00:00:42.009
them out. This is going to be a fun show, but

00:00:42.009 --> 00:00:44.250
I promised some fans of Live that I would ask

00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:46.950
you this question right off the bat, and I didn't

00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:51.390
prepare you for it. Let's see how I do. Exactly.

00:00:52.689 --> 00:00:55.590
Do we call it linear notes or liner notes for

00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:58.530
the inside of an album? I would always say liner

00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:01.670
notes. Okay. In Throwing Copper, there seems

00:01:01.670 --> 00:01:05.890
to be handwritten lyrics to all the songs on

00:01:05.890 --> 00:01:07.870
there. People are wondering if that's a font

00:01:07.870 --> 00:01:11.069
or if that was one of your original members'

00:01:11.209 --> 00:01:13.430
handwriting in it. I think that's Ed's. Okay,

00:01:13.530 --> 00:01:16.670
cool. Yeah. Well, you got your answer, ladies

00:01:16.670 --> 00:01:18.450
and gentlemen. That is Ed's. I'm pretty sure

00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:21.530
that's Ed's. I mean, that's not 100 % positive,

00:01:21.629 --> 00:01:23.310
but I'm pretty sure that's Ed's handwriting.

00:01:23.819 --> 00:01:25.920
Unless it's Chad Taylor, since he wrote all the

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.560
songs, you never know. That's the proof, right?

00:01:31.079 --> 00:01:35.140
Yeah. Yeah. I got a couple of cool clips for

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:37.280
you guys and for Chad too, but I want to get

00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:40.079
this out of the way too. We are trying to build

00:01:40.079 --> 00:01:42.239
the gracious army. So if you're watching our

Spread it like butter or legs. If anyone is interested,

00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:01.879
I have three more videos, my drum videos I'm

00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:05.579
going to be putting up soon. Yes. I got Rattlesnake,

00:02:05.620 --> 00:02:08.780
Lightning Crashes, and TBD. Oh, perfect. All

00:02:08.780 --> 00:02:12.520
recorded. Choices, dude. Yes, thank you. Good

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:14.900
shit, man. I figure I have to bust out Lightning

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:16.460
Crashes at some point, even though I sit for

00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:18.020
two minutes in the beginning and don't do anything.

00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.539
Yeah, you have to like scrub it, fast forward.

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:25.080
What song was I on mental jewelry? Is it mirror

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.039
song that you're playing? It sounds like bongos.

00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:33.719
Or do you switch like the snare drum to the bongo

00:02:33.719 --> 00:02:36.400
sound? Oh, the snare drum is, I would take the

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:40.219
snares off the snare drum. Ah, this is a kind

00:02:40.219 --> 00:02:42.060
of stupid question because since I'm not a drummer

00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:45.580
or musicians. So in the middle of the song though,

00:02:45.620 --> 00:02:50.000
it switches back to the snap snare drum. Is that?

00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:52.629
recorded separately or did you kind of click

00:02:52.629 --> 00:02:56.530
it on the fly snap back on the snares okay and

00:02:56.530 --> 00:02:59.990
recording yeah got some skills to pay the bills

00:02:59.990 --> 00:03:03.689
hey man hey you got it it's easy to flip your

00:03:03.689 --> 00:03:07.270
snare back on yeah but still i mean you know

00:03:07.270 --> 00:03:09.210
breathing and playing the guitar for me is rough

00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:13.430
so just you know uh bobby why don't you uh pull

00:03:13.430 --> 00:03:15.509
up our first clip so we could uh share with the

00:03:15.509 --> 00:03:17.729
audience and chat and and reminisce a little

00:03:17.729 --> 00:03:21.479
bit here oh here we go This first clip is a little

00:03:21.479 --> 00:03:24.580
telling. Well, I'll just let the audience watch

00:03:24.580 --> 00:03:32.580
and we'll talk. I believe this is from 1997,

00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.360
right around the time Samadhi was being released

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:41.319
or close to. And if you got the sound set, I

00:03:41.319 --> 00:03:43.759
don't see or hear anything, Bobby. So if you

00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:46.840
have it shared, you're going to have to, I'm

00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:50.830
going to stop you again. And then we even prepared

00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:53.590
for this audience. So don't think we're, we're,

00:03:53.590 --> 00:03:55.569
we're flying by. I was supposed to act surprised.

00:03:55.610 --> 00:03:58.250
Like I hadn't seen this before. Right. Right.

00:03:58.310 --> 00:04:00.650
And it's still in fucking work. Damn it. Fourth

00:04:00.650 --> 00:04:05.509
wall gone. Yeah. Bobby share audio at the bottom.

00:04:05.550 --> 00:04:08.650
You see it. Boom. Thank you, sir. And then you

00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:19.040
could just. No matter where you. Bobby, why don't

00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:20.779
you pause it and get it to the time you want?

00:04:23.620 --> 00:04:26.339
This is cool. The power that we have as a band

00:04:26.339 --> 00:04:28.879
is just that friendship, that chemistry that

00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:31.819
we always return to and just why the fans dig

00:04:31.819 --> 00:04:34.360
it. That's our job. Our job is to keep that real

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:37.720
and to keep that coming from the heart. In concert,

00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:41.379
we'll be right back. The power of a band is the

00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:44.600
four of us, right? Yes. That's what I wanted

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:50.120
to say. So he knows it. We all know it, but we

00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:51.699
don't have it. Oh, he knew it then, but he probably

00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:53.819
thinks it's something different now, but it's

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:57.199
fine. Yeah. You know, you got to wonder, man,

00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.860
if I'm going to say kind of maybe egos and stuff,

00:05:00.899 --> 00:05:03.060
and I completely get Ed's side. If somebody's

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:04.879
taking credit for writing your music, you get

00:05:04.879 --> 00:05:07.240
bitter about it. You don't want to even share

00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:09.319
in the creative process because then they could

00:05:09.319 --> 00:05:11.399
then take it and say, oh, well, I came up with

00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.879
this. So I see his point of view, but. God damn

00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:17.779
it, dude. Did the, uh, did it just get fucked

00:05:17.779 --> 00:05:19.759
up, you know, a little bit with, with it not

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.079
happening the way it did on your, you know, first

00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:26.459
four, four albums or so. Yeah. Um, yeah, I mean,

00:05:26.459 --> 00:05:28.519
I, I totally see a side tooth with the whole

00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:31.680
Chad Taylor thing. He, he had been discussed

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:34.779
with him and he had told him not to do it. And,

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:36.680
you know, I, I even bring it up to, I brought

00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.680
it up to him years and years later and he still

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:40.259
does it. He still goes out and says, I wrote

00:05:40.259 --> 00:05:43.860
solely the drama right there. It's like, Dude,

00:05:43.860 --> 00:05:47.300
you wrote the guitar part. It became selling

00:05:47.300 --> 00:05:49.199
the drama, but you didn't write the whole fucking

00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.899
song. Stop taking credit for it. I get that part

00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:57.759
of Ed for sure. Absolutely. Obviously, it's rooted

00:05:57.759 --> 00:06:00.019
in ego, which is fine. Ed's very proud of what

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:02.540
he has produced as lyrics and melody. He's very

00:06:02.540 --> 00:06:07.759
good at it and very amazing lyricist. Agreed.

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:10.459
You don't want someone taking credit for that,

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:14.500
but on the other hand, it's like, You cut off

00:06:14.500 --> 00:06:17.180
your nose to spite your face at this point. Destroy

00:06:17.180 --> 00:06:20.600
the relationships in the band. The band disintegrates

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.860
over time and now we're in a fucking shit show.

00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:31.120
Well put, man. Yeah! Yeah, baby! But now to hop

00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:34.240
onto some other fun clips from this video. Oh,

00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:36.259
and by the way, someone made a comment like,

00:06:36.259 --> 00:06:38.500
I don't know, it's like, stop discussing stuff.

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:40.860
It's like, well, it's my life. I feel like talking

00:06:40.860 --> 00:06:43.629
about it sometimes and I fucking will. If you

00:06:43.629 --> 00:06:46.009
don't like it, don't watch. Exactly. As always.

00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:49.089
Not only is it your life, it's your show too.

00:06:49.269 --> 00:06:53.529
So if you don't like it, peace. If I want to

00:06:53.529 --> 00:06:55.829
discuss it therapeutically, I'll fucking discuss

00:06:55.829 --> 00:06:59.670
it. You know, whatever. And for anybody who says

00:06:59.670 --> 00:07:01.470
something like that, I mean, what do they just

00:07:01.470 --> 00:07:04.009
sit there and hide their feelings and don't talk

00:07:04.009 --> 00:07:05.889
about things? That's the way you heal and move

00:07:05.889 --> 00:07:08.709
on. I mean, for somebody to say something like

00:07:08.709 --> 00:07:11.529
that is just... naive and, and they're probably

00:07:11.529 --> 00:07:13.730
don't have their own life in order. So keep your

00:07:13.730 --> 00:07:16.269
fricking comments to yourself. It was a comment.

00:07:16.310 --> 00:07:18.009
It was something about it. And the end of the

00:07:18.009 --> 00:07:19.769
comment was like, write a new story. And it's

00:07:19.769 --> 00:07:21.889
like, well, I am writing a new story, but sometimes

00:07:21.889 --> 00:07:25.269
I'm going to talk about, right. You know, with

00:07:25.269 --> 00:07:29.149
my past things that have happened to me. Exactly.

00:07:29.329 --> 00:07:31.529
We can't let all you people know what's coming

00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:33.970
on the horizon, but I promise you some very,

00:07:34.050 --> 00:07:37.110
very cool fricking shit. If you don't mind me

00:07:37.110 --> 00:07:41.319
using that, uh, that language. Bobby, go to the

00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.279
next clip if you could, sir. And then, yeah,

00:07:43.300 --> 00:07:45.220
just pull it up, keep it paused, and then when

00:07:45.220 --> 00:07:47.259
I say play, if you could play, that'd be great.

00:07:47.379 --> 00:07:49.920
Share what sounds. Specific directions, okay.

00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:54.420
Yeah, I'm going to, you know. This is a cool

00:07:54.420 --> 00:08:00.100
clip, Chad. This is, I love how he doesn't have

00:08:00.100 --> 00:08:04.120
it queued up to the time stamp. Bobby, you are

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:08.339
my favorite person on this show right now. I

00:08:08.339 --> 00:08:12.160
must tell you, uh, it, it is a hard job. He's

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.100
doing it from his phone folks. So, so please

00:08:14.100 --> 00:08:18.259
bear with, uh, please bear with us. Um, but,

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.579
um, we should have it up momentarily. Do you

00:08:22.579 --> 00:08:24.379
want me to stop the share Bobby? So you can get

00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:26.120
it queued up and then, yeah, I'll do that. I'm

00:08:26.120 --> 00:08:28.519
going to stop the share, get it queued up and

00:08:28.519 --> 00:08:31.259
then, uh, share. And then I'll tell you when

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:38.399
to play, uh, nine times. Nine times the charm

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:42.340
here, people. We'll finally get it. But yeah,

00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:44.379
this is cool. I'm going to spoil what we're going

00:08:44.379 --> 00:08:47.820
to watch. So this is you and Ed from, I believe,

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:52.960
like 94. You're on bongos, long ass hair, and

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.620
Ed's on the guitar doing acoustic. And that's

00:08:56.620 --> 00:08:59.639
the clip we're going to be watching if we could

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.480
get it up. Are we playing a song in the drama?

00:09:02.319 --> 00:09:05.320
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was an MTV studio, I believe.

00:09:05.379 --> 00:09:09.159
I think it was for like 120 minutes or something

00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:15.539
for MTV, I believe. Okay. So, hey, maybe that

00:09:15.539 --> 00:09:17.580
was my fault. Maybe Bobby had it queued up. Go

00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:24.080
ahead, Bobby, share the screen. With audio. And

00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.960
please bear with all our religious imagery on

00:09:26.960 --> 00:09:29.679
stage. It's a York, Pennsylvania thing. That's

00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.470
right. That's how we got called a Christian band.

00:09:32.570 --> 00:09:35.090
Like, Christian band? Jesus. Well, that's funny

00:09:35.090 --> 00:09:38.529
because his solo stuff almost became, like, kind

00:09:38.529 --> 00:09:41.289
of Christian -esque. Well, he was trying to go

00:09:41.289 --> 00:09:45.509
for that because who did it? Like, well, country

00:09:45.509 --> 00:09:47.629
was kind of, like, starting to, like, kind of

00:09:47.629 --> 00:09:51.289
become more poppy at that point. Oh, I think,

00:09:51.289 --> 00:09:55.789
well, Darius Rucker did it. Here you are, Chad.

00:10:04.850 --> 00:10:09.570
Sweet. Dude. It's the junior congas. Look at

00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:12.090
the hair. I was growing out my hair then. I love

00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:14.110
it, dude. And Ed's got freaking long -ass hair.

00:10:25.509 --> 00:10:28.070
Now, again, I don't want us to get in trouble

00:10:28.070 --> 00:10:30.649
for sharing copyright music, even though you

00:10:30.649 --> 00:10:32.529
have the copyright to it. Eventually, we'll have

00:10:32.529 --> 00:10:36.529
to get that figured out. But so does that bring

00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:38.490
you back? Like, can you remember that performance

00:10:38.490 --> 00:10:41.429
and like being there? Or is it kind of just like,

00:10:41.490 --> 00:10:45.389
you know, a distant memory? No, I remember that

00:10:45.389 --> 00:10:49.330
because it was early on. And I think Selling

00:10:49.330 --> 00:10:52.830
Drama had just come out and we went to MTV to

00:10:52.830 --> 00:10:56.070
do that. It was an MTV studio. So yeah, I remember

00:10:56.070 --> 00:10:59.250
that for sure. Dude, this is a question I want

00:10:59.250 --> 00:11:03.289
to ask you about that. So like, did you already

00:11:03.289 --> 00:11:05.690
know how to play bongos or does it just come

00:11:05.690 --> 00:11:09.450
natural from, from, you know, from drums? Because

00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:11.590
you're laying down some serious stuff for real,

00:11:11.649 --> 00:11:16.230
dude. I'm sure a classically trained like conga

00:11:16.230 --> 00:11:17.769
player or bongo player would be like, what the

00:11:17.769 --> 00:11:19.370
fuck is he doing? Cause I don't know. I'll just

00:11:19.370 --> 00:11:22.529
make it up. So I don't, no idea. Wow. What to

00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:25.950
do properly, but. It sounds good. Dude, from

00:11:25.950 --> 00:11:28.350
flying by the seat of your pants, man, you fucking

00:11:28.350 --> 00:11:31.750
nailed it. Well, thank you. Yeah, dude. It's

00:11:31.750 --> 00:11:33.850
cool to watch. And I noticed you were wearing

00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:37.490
a ring on your right hand. Was that aesthetic

00:11:37.490 --> 00:11:41.750
or was that to hit on the bongos? Aesthetic at

00:11:41.750 --> 00:11:47.190
that point, no. Gotcha. Our next clip, Rob, Bobby

00:11:47.190 --> 00:11:48.769
Yankee, and then we got to go to our guests.

00:11:48.850 --> 00:11:50.769
We got some cool guests coming on, peeps. We

00:11:50.769 --> 00:11:53.940
got two. gentleman from South Africa coming on,

00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:55.879
going to let us know about... Before we get to

00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:57.480
that, I want to talk about the Trump cases in

00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:00.399
floating. It's fucking great. Georgia one, at

00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:03.500
least. The New York one is just a fucking farce.

00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:06.320
But anyway, go ahead. Well, actually, you know

00:12:06.320 --> 00:12:08.940
what, Bobby? We'll play that clip because we

00:12:08.940 --> 00:12:11.019
got time for that. Why don't we hop into that,

00:12:11.100 --> 00:12:13.379
Chad? Talk to me about what was going on there.

00:12:13.620 --> 00:12:15.779
Also, in Georgia case, in Fulton County case,

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:18.980
the DA is basically going to get disqualified.

00:12:20.059 --> 00:12:23.799
She's... oh my god yeah the whole thing's falling

00:12:23.799 --> 00:12:27.000
apart she basically she she hired this inexperienced

00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:29.399
litigator what the hell is the guy's name forget

00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:33.379
what his name is and paid him 650 000 and part

00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:35.279
of that money was used to go on lavish trips

00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.639
to different places and so it was her boyfriend

00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:41.340
you know and this guy was inexperienced he didn't

00:12:41.340 --> 00:12:44.039
have any experience prosecuting cases so he had

00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:48.200
no he had no uh no reason to be on this case

00:12:48.200 --> 00:12:50.899
other than she was paying him and it was her

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:55.139
Her boyfriend. So that's all coming out. That

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:58.399
case is going to crumble, as they all are. The

00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:00.740
New York case is fucking funny because now you

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:04.240
have literally all the developers in New York

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.720
are going, should we invest in this city? Because

00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.580
we all do the same thing. Everyone inflates the

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.820
value of their fucking assets to the bank, and

00:13:14.820 --> 00:13:16.700
then the bank says, no, it's worth this. It's

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:20.289
a negotiation. What the fuck everyone does? It's

00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:21.889
just ridiculous. And now I can't do business

00:13:21.889 --> 00:13:23.409
in New York for three years and I have to pay

00:13:23.409 --> 00:13:27.509
a $354 million fine. There's no victims. Right.

00:13:27.629 --> 00:13:31.350
I kind of want to touch on what you just said

00:13:31.350 --> 00:13:34.509
there because it's very important. You put a

00:13:34.509 --> 00:13:37.450
valuation in and then the bank does their own

00:13:37.450 --> 00:13:40.769
valuation or they accept it. They accepted the

00:13:40.769 --> 00:13:43.149
valuation. And of course, you're going to overvalue

00:13:43.149 --> 00:13:46.870
whatever. But there's no crime there. The crime

00:13:46.870 --> 00:13:49.389
is that they're trying to prosecute this guy

00:13:49.389 --> 00:13:52.610
for this shit when this happens all the time.

00:13:52.830 --> 00:13:54.750
Well, this is the same trial where the judge

00:13:54.750 --> 00:13:57.629
set the value of Mar -a -Lago at $18 million.

00:13:58.309 --> 00:14:01.289
Yeah. So that's fucking criminal. That's like,

00:14:01.370 --> 00:14:04.850
are you serious? It's probably a billion and

00:14:04.850 --> 00:14:07.629
a half on the market. but it's worth $18 million

00:14:07.629 --> 00:14:10.690
in this courtroom just because you say so? Right.

00:14:11.350 --> 00:14:15.049
I mean, it's insane. He's going to appeal it

00:14:15.049 --> 00:14:17.850
and it's going to go away. Even without the house

00:14:17.850 --> 00:14:20.629
or whatever the resort that's there, even if

00:14:20.629 --> 00:14:23.789
you got rid of that, the land itself is worth

00:14:23.789 --> 00:14:26.549
over $18 million. You know what I'm saying? Then

00:14:26.549 --> 00:14:29.149
you got the history. Well, exactly. Yeah, it's

00:14:29.149 --> 00:14:34.529
nuts. And a lot of this is, I don't even care

00:14:34.529 --> 00:14:37.480
if it's Trump. You shouldn't be doing this to

00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:41.419
anybody. Correct. Democrat, Republican, whatever.

00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:45.080
You shouldn't be weaponizing. That's called,

00:14:45.139 --> 00:14:47.600
I learned a new term called lawfare. It's law.

00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:49.940
The Democrats are using lawfare against Trump

00:14:49.940 --> 00:14:51.419
and against any of their political nominees.

00:14:51.539 --> 00:14:53.379
They're using it against all kinds of people.

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:57.259
Right. It's total lawfare. It's like, use the

00:14:57.259 --> 00:15:01.200
law, find some bullshit statutes or make up shit

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.710
and just prosecute. And they're going after all

00:15:04.710 --> 00:15:06.509
that. And that leads me to my other thing I want

00:15:06.509 --> 00:15:09.669
to talk about, Ashley Biden's diary. Have you

00:15:09.669 --> 00:15:13.509
heard about this whole deal? No. Well, so I think

00:15:13.509 --> 00:15:16.350
it was two years ago. James O 'Keefe said he

00:15:16.350 --> 00:15:19.370
has Ashley Biden's diary. Two women in Florida

00:15:19.370 --> 00:15:21.230
somehow came into possession of this. They sold

00:15:21.230 --> 00:15:25.289
it to him. Of course, the whole narrative was,

00:15:25.429 --> 00:15:27.450
oh, no, it's fake. That's bullshit. Russian plan.

00:15:27.610 --> 00:15:33.419
Of course, all the media piped. Talk about all

00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:35.980
this endlessly about it's bullshit. It's real.

00:15:37.940 --> 00:15:40.200
But in the meantime, when he had this in his

00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:43.620
possession, even though it was fake, guess who

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:45.659
sends the FBI to raid his house in the middle

00:15:45.659 --> 00:15:50.399
of the night? How's that happen? But now it's

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.960
actually been proven real. And in there, one

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.860
of the passages, one of the famous passages is

00:15:55.860 --> 00:15:58.200
something to the effect of dad will come into

00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:00.809
the shower with me. Like when she was way too

00:16:00.809 --> 00:16:04.330
old for him to come in the shower. Whoa. It's

00:16:04.330 --> 00:16:10.029
alleges a lot of like incestual pedophilia, pedophilia,

00:16:10.029 --> 00:16:15.629
you know, goings on. I'm shocked. With our pedo

00:16:15.629 --> 00:16:17.909
in chief in the office there. I was going to

00:16:17.909 --> 00:16:20.549
say, I'm shocked that creepy hair sniffer Joe

00:16:20.549 --> 00:16:23.389
Biden would have something like that in his family.

00:16:23.750 --> 00:16:27.139
Not, I mean. You know, you see all those videos

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:29.720
and pictures and like little girls that he made

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:32.740
feel uncomfortable and you're like, oh, this

00:16:32.740 --> 00:16:36.000
has got to be just, you know, fucking set up

00:16:36.000 --> 00:16:39.360
or something. No, it's fucking real. He makes

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.840
people feel uncomfortable, gets too close, sniffs

00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.879
them like, what the fuck? Yeah. I mean, if you

00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:48.700
have some fucking random guy come up and like

00:16:48.700 --> 00:16:51.200
hug your girl and like sniff her hair, I'd be

00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:53.659
like, what the fuck are you doing? Yeah. Dude,

00:16:53.919 --> 00:16:58.389
back off. Exactly. And one of the things I want

00:16:58.389 --> 00:17:00.789
to let in our guests, but did you see that? So

00:17:00.789 --> 00:17:05.730
whoever was deciding on his classified documents

00:17:05.730 --> 00:17:08.549
that he had just opened in his garage, this is

00:17:08.549 --> 00:17:12.630
what they said. They said that he is too old

00:17:12.630 --> 00:17:15.950
and mentally unfit to stand trial on this. It's

00:17:15.950 --> 00:17:19.319
just an old man mistake. But he's not too old

00:17:19.319 --> 00:17:21.720
and unfit to fucking run this country and run

00:17:21.720 --> 00:17:24.940
again in this election year? What the fuck, man?

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.039
This is where we live. This is the clown world

00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.519
we fucking live in. And everybody on the left

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:33.920
is like, oh, he's great. He's doing a great job.

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.640
Look at him. Right. And this is what I want people

00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.920
to know from myself, especially, but I'm sure

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.440
Chad, too. This is wrong from all ends, if it's

00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:45.920
done on the left, if it's done on the right.

00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:48.779
That's why we're raising these questions. Unfortunately,

00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:51.599
you know, a lot of the wrong stuff's being done

00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:54.500
to Trump, but that's not what the issue is. The

00:17:54.500 --> 00:17:57.400
issue is that what's happening is wrong, no matter

00:17:57.400 --> 00:18:00.240
who the fuck it's done to. Yeah, neither side

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.339
should be weaponizing government against a political

00:18:03.339 --> 00:18:07.559
opponent. Exactly. Unless the political opponent

00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.440
actually did illegal shit. But we can, that's

00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:14.400
a whole nother show. That's dude. We have like

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.740
900 other shows to get to, but I'm going to start

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:19.940
letting in our guests and hop on. Cause I'm excited

00:18:19.940 --> 00:18:22.460
to talk to these gentlemen. I don't know if they're

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:24.900
together or if they're separate, but I do have,

00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.680
you know, just, I see one trying to be let in

00:18:28.680 --> 00:18:35.939
cash shell. If you're there. Hello. Hello. Probably

00:18:35.939 --> 00:18:38.039
going to take a second. The only thing I have

00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:42.099
concerns with is the Wi -Fi and stuff over there.

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.240
I don't know if it's going to be like when we

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:45.980
had Scott on and it'll be all choppy and stuff.

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.200
But if you are there, Cashel, you got to unmute

00:18:49.200 --> 00:18:56.759
and turn your video on, my man. But yeah, that's

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:59.480
what I want because Don came on and said we're

00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.119
basically a right -wing show. And maybe a lot

00:19:02.119 --> 00:19:05.859
of our points go to that way. Like I said, I'm

00:19:05.859 --> 00:19:07.859
in the middle, man. I was a registered Democrat.

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:10.960
I wish that there was people in the Democratic

00:19:10.960 --> 00:19:15.380
Party that were in charge and that were doing

00:19:15.380 --> 00:19:18.079
it the ways of the past, the way that the Democratic

00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.660
Party started off. This new fashion that's taken

00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:24.500
over and does not have America's best interest

00:19:24.500 --> 00:19:27.160
at heart, that's what I'm against. The same way

00:19:27.160 --> 00:19:29.819
I'm against fucking right -wings trying to take

00:19:29.819 --> 00:19:32.019
away abortion and all that stuff. It's not just

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:34.890
left and right. Pointing out and we're pointing

00:19:34.890 --> 00:19:37.309
out what's fucking bad, period. What up, Cashel?

00:19:37.950 --> 00:19:40.150
Hey, what's happening, guys? Chilling, dude.

00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:45.009
Howdy. I love the room you're in. I don't know

00:19:45.009 --> 00:19:47.210
if... Thanks. Yeah, dude. I don't know if you

00:19:47.210 --> 00:19:50.869
spoke to Dylan or anything, but I sent the link

00:19:50.869 --> 00:19:52.730
to both. I don't see him in here, but we'll start

00:19:52.730 --> 00:19:55.470
this way. If he comes in, he comes in. Dylan

00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:59.190
followed me earlier and said he was ready. So

00:19:59.190 --> 00:20:07.130
I said, okay, cool. He lives like 500 Ks from

00:20:07.130 --> 00:20:08.730
me. I wouldn't know what that is in miles, but

00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:12.089
he lives quite far. That sounds very far in miles.

00:20:12.170 --> 00:20:16.009
I'll put it that way. Yeah. It's probably like

00:20:16.009 --> 00:20:19.990
250 miles, 300 miles, something like that. It's

00:20:19.990 --> 00:20:22.190
a guess. Oh, I thought kilometers were longer

00:20:22.190 --> 00:20:25.690
than miles. That's how dumb I am. 100 kilometers

00:20:25.690 --> 00:20:30.069
is 62 miles. I know that. Well, Ted's actually

00:20:30.069 --> 00:20:32.910
played in where he lives, Johannesburg. Oh, yes.

00:20:33.150 --> 00:20:36.710
Where do you live? I live on the border of Mozambique

00:20:36.710 --> 00:20:38.849
and South Africa. It's called a small little

00:20:38.849 --> 00:20:41.710
town called Kamaripuat, right against the Kruger

00:20:41.710 --> 00:20:45.230
National Park. Okay. Yeah, one time we went to

00:20:45.230 --> 00:20:50.990
Sabi Sabi. Sabi Sabi, okay, yeah. Yeah, and I

00:20:50.990 --> 00:20:52.630
guess that was right next to Kruger National

00:20:52.630 --> 00:20:55.069
Park as well, but it's a private reserve, I believe.

00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:58.049
It's a private reserve that's like in the Kruger

00:20:58.049 --> 00:21:03.529
Park. If I'm not mistaken. Yeah. Our town has

00:21:03.529 --> 00:21:06.329
a fence and this fence literally borders. That's

00:21:06.329 --> 00:21:09.009
the border. This little fence between the Kruger

00:21:09.009 --> 00:21:11.950
Park and the town. And I was telling John like,

00:21:11.970 --> 00:21:14.380
I don't think it was yesterday or today. well

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:16.599
monday i can't remember that we've had lions

00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.619
cruising around our town it's like you walk out

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:21.460
the pub and there's like there's a lion in my

00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:23.660
car and you're like still trying to decide is

00:21:23.660 --> 00:21:26.359
it a lion or am i just right does anyone get

00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:32.000
attacked luckily no that's great um i've been

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.079
chased by a buffalo yeah well we're playing paintball

00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.019
in the bush right yeah they've got their own

00:21:38.019 --> 00:21:43.089
little temperament value right So Chad, he tells

00:21:43.089 --> 00:21:45.069
me, he's like, yeah, you know, I walk out my

00:21:45.069 --> 00:21:47.650
door, I see elephants, lions, and I'm like, holy

00:21:47.650 --> 00:21:49.970
shit. I'm like, that's totally cool and radical.

00:21:50.029 --> 00:21:52.390
But if that lion's hungry, dude, you better look

00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:54.910
the F out because you don't know what they're

00:21:54.910 --> 00:21:58.369
going to do. I've been here 19 years now, and

00:21:58.369 --> 00:22:01.970
we own a fuel station as a family business here

00:22:01.970 --> 00:22:07.250
in Kamaripur. And I've seen, well, I go to work

00:22:07.250 --> 00:22:10.450
at like four in the morning. So I've seen lion.

00:22:10.990 --> 00:22:13.190
i've seen leopard just cruising down our maid

00:22:13.190 --> 00:22:18.390
road wow and yeah we got phoned by our the the

00:22:18.390 --> 00:22:22.769
petrol tenants and um in the very weird english

00:22:22.769 --> 00:22:27.569
they said uh ion ion ion and i said what he goes

00:22:27.569 --> 00:22:33.490
over the phone the international sound for oh

00:22:33.490 --> 00:22:38.069
just going down bro still let me ask you this

00:22:38.069 --> 00:22:41.779
patch If let's just say you did lock eyes with

00:22:41.779 --> 00:22:44.680
a lion and this motherfucker starts moving toward

00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.220
you, what do you do in that circumstance? Like,

00:22:47.259 --> 00:22:48.940
I know what a bear you're supposed to like get

00:22:48.940 --> 00:22:51.119
big and yell and stuff like, but I don't think

00:22:51.119 --> 00:22:53.779
that works with the lion. Do you have any idea

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:56.480
like what you should do in that situation? And

00:22:56.480 --> 00:22:58.900
if not, I think you should, if you're seeing

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:02.279
them when you walk out your door. Well, look,

00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.660
I think if you have to come face to face with

00:23:04.660 --> 00:23:07.740
a lion. I don't think you stand much of a chance,

00:23:07.779 --> 00:23:09.299
dude, whether you're going to try and make yourself

00:23:09.299 --> 00:23:13.380
bigger or not. Sorry. One thing I wouldn't do

00:23:13.380 --> 00:23:15.779
is try to run, I think, because there's no way

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:17.839
you're going to outrun it. Then you pray for

00:23:17.839 --> 00:23:19.940
sure that they start chasing you in your butt.

00:23:20.900 --> 00:23:25.599
Yeah, but also I remember South Africa is very

00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:32.940
gun -happy, like the US. In that case, would

00:23:32.940 --> 00:23:37.740
you be armed? Yeah. Are you strapped? Most of

00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:44.420
us are. Nice. Given the country's history and

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:47.720
everything, it can get very volatile very quickly

00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:51.000
here as well. Cash, why don't you tell the audience

00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:55.299
a little bit about yourself, musician stuff and

00:23:55.299 --> 00:23:56.960
what you got going on in South Africa just so

00:23:56.960 --> 00:24:00.339
they can be introduced to you. Well, I used to

00:24:00.339 --> 00:24:02.859
have my own two bands and then I went to doing

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:05.579
session work. I actually got further doing session

00:24:05.579 --> 00:24:07.559
work than I did having my own original bands.

00:24:09.299 --> 00:24:12.759
Which we, sorry, we did mainly covers and then

00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.180
had some originals like I sent you. I think it

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:18.839
was today that I sent you that did so well overseas.

00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.519
We were going to tour that whole album in Europe

00:24:22.519 --> 00:24:28.779
and then COVID. Lockdown. Everything just fell

00:24:28.779 --> 00:24:32.359
apart. Luckily, we were about to pay for visas.

00:24:34.369 --> 00:24:36.890
And lockdown came. It's like, okay, well, let's

00:24:36.890 --> 00:24:41.049
hold the money back. Wow. So now I do a lot of

00:24:41.049 --> 00:24:45.150
session work. I do a lot of live shows for other

00:24:45.150 --> 00:24:50.450
artists. You, Chad, obviously know session work

00:24:50.450 --> 00:24:54.809
and that kind of stuff. So, you know, it's fun,

00:24:54.990 --> 00:24:59.869
but it's also, it's not your own. It's more like

00:24:59.869 --> 00:25:03.700
a job -ish rather than like if you're, in a band

00:25:03.700 --> 00:25:06.700
creating the music playing it live i would think

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:09.000
maybe more the session work is more like a a

00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:12.339
job so to speak in the music field i don't know

00:25:12.339 --> 00:25:14.259
i'm lucky i've got to work with a lot of guys

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:18.200
that actually want to hear your opinion and your

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:22.420
ideas which which is cool you know whether they

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:26.079
use it or not take it to face value it's cool

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:30.259
i've just finished running a um doing a stunt

00:25:30.259 --> 00:25:36.079
now with uh a person here in South Africa where

00:25:36.079 --> 00:25:39.720
this is my first week without a gig for forever.

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:46.359
Wow. So you're staying busy? I have to. I can't

00:25:46.359 --> 00:25:50.380
stand still after COVID. I have to play. I hate

00:25:50.380 --> 00:25:54.720
sitting still. I wouldn't force everyone to sit

00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:58.019
still. Right. If being locked down for that long

00:25:58.019 --> 00:26:00.779
didn't light a fire under you to want to be out.

00:26:01.130 --> 00:26:02.990
I don't know what will. What was it like in South

00:26:02.990 --> 00:26:06.329
Africa? Were you guys totally locked down? How

00:26:06.329 --> 00:26:10.109
did your country deal with it? We had a session.

00:26:10.490 --> 00:26:15.329
What do you call it? Certain people could still

00:26:15.329 --> 00:26:19.049
go to work, but in half capacity and then a third

00:26:19.049 --> 00:26:23.269
or a quarter capacity. We were seen as an essential

00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:27.089
business because we are trading as fuel and everything

00:26:27.089 --> 00:26:34.460
else as our main income. so uh yeah i employed

00:26:34.460 --> 00:26:37.920
my ex two bandmates the drama and i are still

00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:39.759
very good mates and we still do a lot of side

00:26:39.759 --> 00:26:44.019
projects together as sales reps so automatically

00:26:44.019 --> 00:26:49.960
well on paper so they automatically became essential

00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:52.140
workers and they could travel to me and i could

00:26:52.140 --> 00:26:53.799
travel to them and we could rehearse throughout

00:26:53.799 --> 00:26:56.960
oh nice i like it so at least we were still playing

00:26:56.960 --> 00:26:59.099
but you know you missed you missed the live vibe

00:26:59.849 --> 00:27:03.470
It was like a mafia no -show job where they're

00:27:03.470 --> 00:27:06.430
basically getting paid to not work, but they're

00:27:06.430 --> 00:27:08.130
off doing their own thing, whereas you might

00:27:08.130 --> 00:27:09.650
not have been paying them to work, but it seemed

00:27:09.650 --> 00:27:10.809
like they were working, but they were really

00:27:10.809 --> 00:27:14.230
doing music is what I'm gathering. Look, the

00:27:14.230 --> 00:27:16.049
three of us, if we had to sit still, even the

00:27:16.049 --> 00:27:18.269
four of us, I mean, my dad, believe it or not,

00:27:18.369 --> 00:27:21.769
he's turning 71 this year. Congrats. Happy birthday,

00:27:21.849 --> 00:27:25.410
Dad. Beginning of last year, he was still our

00:27:25.410 --> 00:27:30.079
active bass player. Oh, wow. Nice. Very great.

00:27:31.039 --> 00:27:34.160
Yeah, I've done some of the biggest shows of

00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:36.640
my life with my dad on stage as our bass player.

00:27:37.000 --> 00:27:40.059
Oh, wow, that's so cool. That is very cool. It's

00:27:40.059 --> 00:27:42.900
very sweet, eh? Yeah. Is that where you learned

00:27:42.900 --> 00:27:46.160
to play guitar from him? I actually learned to

00:27:46.160 --> 00:27:48.240
play by ear when I was 12. So I started when

00:27:48.240 --> 00:27:50.140
I was 12. That's how I learned how to play drums.

00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:56.140
You try to explain to someone that back then

00:27:56.140 --> 00:28:00.009
we didn't have YouTube. Learning stuff actually

00:28:00.009 --> 00:28:03.230
helped us more. Oh, yeah, yeah. You didn't have

00:28:03.230 --> 00:28:04.890
a visual reference at all. You had to listen

00:28:04.890 --> 00:28:08.069
to it and figure it out. You get all these platforms

00:28:08.069 --> 00:28:10.750
on the web like Ultimate Guitar and stuff like

00:28:10.750 --> 00:28:15.190
that. Yeah. I would go check it out just to,

00:28:15.289 --> 00:28:18.710
am I? Or are they wrong? Am I wrong? Kind of

00:28:18.710 --> 00:28:22.230
thing. Right, right, yeah. And I've got a very

00:28:22.230 --> 00:28:24.869
good mate that he and I, we try to do a jam session

00:28:24.869 --> 00:28:27.230
like this online because he also lives in Johannesburg.

00:28:28.220 --> 00:28:32.079
And like once a week, as much as we can. And

00:28:32.079 --> 00:28:35.500
he's also a very good session guitarist. I've

00:28:35.500 --> 00:28:38.319
learned a lot from him about the business and

00:28:38.319 --> 00:28:41.640
theory and all this other stuff about music,

00:28:41.700 --> 00:28:43.440
which you don't learn when you pick it up. Like,

00:28:43.460 --> 00:28:45.640
yeah. Right. But also it's like, I guess to a

00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:47.160
point, like, okay, I'm done with this theory

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:51.500
thing. Can we do something fun now? Well, since

00:28:51.500 --> 00:28:53.319
you guys are both musicians, let me ask you this,

00:28:53.420 --> 00:28:56.480
because to me, I feel like you could. like be

00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:59.140
taught theory and technically learn it. I don't

00:28:59.140 --> 00:29:01.420
know if you could learn to have that musical

00:29:01.420 --> 00:29:03.220
ear. I think that might be something you're born

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:06.339
with. What do you guys think about that? Um,

00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:09.759
I think it's, yeah, anybody can learn music theory

00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:14.640
and you can learn an instrument, but to have

00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:17.380
a certain feel or pick it up by ear is definitely

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:21.960
natural talent. I would say. Yeah. Well, the

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:24.549
only reason I said that. Sorry, guys. The only

00:29:24.549 --> 00:29:29.250
reason why is because I'm a very amateur guitarist,

00:29:29.250 --> 00:29:34.809
but I don't know if a G chord is a D chord. It

00:29:34.809 --> 00:29:37.049
doesn't hear. I could tell I'm playing the song

00:29:37.049 --> 00:29:38.490
right. That's not what you told me. You said

00:29:38.490 --> 00:29:40.289
the spandex six is coming out at the beginning

00:29:40.289 --> 00:29:43.029
of May. You're not supposed to tell the audience.

00:29:43.109 --> 00:29:46.289
Yes. Come on. Damn it. You heard it here first.

00:29:46.750 --> 00:29:50.450
That's right. So Cash asked me, he goes, is it

00:29:50.450 --> 00:29:52.069
cool if I smoke on the show? I'm like, dude,

00:29:52.109 --> 00:29:54.009
do whatever the fuck you want as long as you're

00:29:54.009 --> 00:29:56.490
not going to be naked and doing whatever. We

00:29:56.490 --> 00:29:59.509
don't care. Definitely not naked. Yes. Oh, but

00:29:59.509 --> 00:30:01.809
Chad can tell you, Slavikans are very polite.

00:30:02.569 --> 00:30:04.630
And if we're not very polite, we can be very

00:30:04.630 --> 00:30:07.150
flippin' rude very flippin' quickly. I love it.

00:30:07.170 --> 00:30:11.450
So I'd rather ask than assume because assumption

00:30:11.450 --> 00:30:13.049
is the mother of all fuck -ups. You know what

00:30:13.049 --> 00:30:16.589
I mean? There you go. It sounds like a lot of

00:30:16.589 --> 00:30:18.349
people from New Jersey. So I think New Jersey

00:30:18.349 --> 00:30:20.130
and South Africans get along real well then.

00:30:20.869 --> 00:30:25.650
I really think guys from places like New Jersey

00:30:25.650 --> 00:30:28.269
and Boston and those kind of things, if they

00:30:28.269 --> 00:30:32.710
come to South Africa, that must be like a total

00:30:32.710 --> 00:30:38.349
mindfuck for them. Because of like what? Imagine

00:30:38.349 --> 00:30:40.910
landing in Johannesburg. Chad, you've done it

00:30:40.910 --> 00:30:43.509
once. Your first time. You've landed there. Did

00:30:43.509 --> 00:30:45.559
you ever look out that window and go, holy where

00:30:45.559 --> 00:30:50.119
the am i oh yeah i mean yeah especially i remember

00:30:50.119 --> 00:30:52.180
landing in johannesburg and especially i remember

00:30:52.180 --> 00:30:54.400
landing in cape town because you could drive

00:30:54.400 --> 00:30:56.519
all the way through the slums from the airport

00:30:56.519 --> 00:31:02.880
oh yeah oh yeah i was just like whoa where the

00:31:02.880 --> 00:31:09.220
are we this is nuts that was insane just underdeveloped

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:12.480
chad like it doesn't no no no no it's like shanty

00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:16.079
shacks made of like metal Corrugated sheets.

00:31:16.480 --> 00:31:18.599
Corrugated sheets, exactly. Thank you. Corrugated

00:31:18.599 --> 00:31:21.160
sheets like it's like slapped together and they

00:31:21.160 --> 00:31:23.660
go on for like miles on either side of the highway

00:31:23.660 --> 00:31:26.299
or just like, holy shit, gigantic shantytowns.

00:31:26.480 --> 00:31:30.839
Wow. District 9, but without the aliens. Ah,

00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:34.079
I got it. District 9, yeah, that was actually

00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:36.160
made in South Africa. I know, I love that movie.

00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:38.920
It's great. Oh, really? Yes. When the guy's sussing,

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:43.700
you're fucking prone. Exactly. Dude, by the way,

00:31:44.269 --> 00:31:46.589
If and when you come to America, dude, the ladies

00:31:46.589 --> 00:31:48.690
are going to love that accent. I promise you.

00:31:48.769 --> 00:31:51.210
There's certain accents that they love, British,

00:31:51.309 --> 00:31:55.250
Irish, South African. They're all Italian. They're

00:31:55.250 --> 00:31:58.069
all on that spectrum of women love the accent.

00:31:58.410 --> 00:32:02.130
I saw a lady walk into your room before. If you're

00:32:02.130 --> 00:32:03.549
going to still be with her when you come to the

00:32:03.549 --> 00:32:05.930
U .S., you might want to leave her back there.

00:32:06.009 --> 00:32:08.609
I'm just saying. I'm kind of locked down, bro.

00:32:08.809 --> 00:32:13.900
Ah, my bad, my bad, my bad. No, no. it's quite

00:32:13.900 --> 00:32:16.680
funny because you know as you do shows and you

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:21.740
start playing with more and more um popular bands

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:23.779
as a session muso or something or like their

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:25.599
guitarists are sick and they get you in like

00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.779
just because they can't cancel the show now and

00:32:28.779 --> 00:32:34.079
um you see it and i'm a prankster i like we we

00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:35.839
did a show there's a guy i don't know if you've

00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:38.680
heard of him i know he records a lot in he's

00:32:38.680 --> 00:32:41.039
south african he records a lot in the us he's

00:32:41.039 --> 00:32:45.869
called jeremy loops I don't know. He does this

00:32:45.869 --> 00:32:47.690
whole thing with the looping station and he creates

00:32:47.690 --> 00:32:49.970
his songs and he's got his whole band and everything.

00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:56.049
And then we opened a few years ago. And while

00:32:56.049 --> 00:32:59.490
we were doing soundcheck, there were these ladies

00:32:59.490 --> 00:33:02.890
in front like, oh my God, you know. It's like,

00:33:02.970 --> 00:33:05.430
wow. And then my wife's standing there. By then

00:33:05.430 --> 00:33:10.519
we were dating. We weren't even engaged. I was

00:33:10.519 --> 00:33:12.599
doing soundcheck on the mic and whatever. And

00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:15.180
I look at her and say, Hey lady, you with a camera.

00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:17.220
And she, my wife knows I'm talking about it.

00:33:17.259 --> 00:33:18.759
And she, her head goes down and she looks up

00:33:18.759 --> 00:33:21.740
and goes, yes. And no one knows it'd be dating

00:33:21.740 --> 00:33:24.039
all the crowd there in front. I'm taking you

00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:28.420
home tonight. Everyone's like, Oh my God, did

00:33:28.420 --> 00:33:34.680
you hear him? I love it. Like a little role play

00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.940
between you two, kind of. It's nice to get a

00:33:38.940 --> 00:33:41.599
rise out of people sometimes. Just hit them with

00:33:41.599 --> 00:33:45.299
the unexpected. It's like this misogynist thinking

00:33:45.299 --> 00:33:47.019
he could just pull a girl out of the audience

00:33:47.019 --> 00:33:49.579
and take her home. And it's more like, look,

00:33:49.640 --> 00:33:53.599
she's actually going. Right. And then they're

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.859
saying it's only because he has a guitar strapped.

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:57.519
And without that guitar, he wouldn't be able

00:33:57.519 --> 00:34:00.990
to pull her. He's a loser. Money for nothing

00:34:00.990 --> 00:34:03.529
and chicks for free, man. Come on. Where are

00:34:03.529 --> 00:34:06.130
those days? Where are those days, man? Are they

00:34:06.130 --> 00:34:11.489
coming back? I don't know. So, Cashel, when we

00:34:11.489 --> 00:34:13.929
were originally, I think when we originally hooked

00:34:13.929 --> 00:34:16.610
up with you and Dylan or maybe Dylan first, I

00:34:16.610 --> 00:34:18.769
don't really know how it came about, but we were

00:34:18.769 --> 00:34:22.389
discussing like some of the stuff going on in

00:34:22.389 --> 00:34:24.989
South Africa. And again, I'm very uneducated

00:34:24.989 --> 00:34:27.289
on the subject and I kind of wanted to get educated

00:34:27.289 --> 00:34:31.150
on here about it. I believe like a kind of synopsis

00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:34.630
of the story I heard was, I guess people who

00:34:34.630 --> 00:34:40.409
were originally on some land are now trying to,

00:34:40.429 --> 00:34:43.309
or taking the land back over and kicking off

00:34:43.309 --> 00:34:45.170
these farmers that have lived there for a bunch

00:34:45.170 --> 00:34:48.389
of years and then putting people on this land

00:34:48.389 --> 00:34:50.989
that basically doesn't know, like they don't

00:34:50.989 --> 00:34:53.949
know how to farm the land. It could create a

00:34:53.949 --> 00:34:57.349
problem in the future -ish, so to speak. Am I

00:34:57.349 --> 00:35:00.329
on the path here? Is that something that's going

00:35:00.329 --> 00:35:07.610
on over there? Look, politics is a South African

00:35:07.610 --> 00:35:10.789
thing. I mean, this whole country, everyone knows

00:35:10.789 --> 00:35:15.489
it to be one political ball of twine. So there

00:35:15.489 --> 00:35:19.909
are certain political groups saying take back

00:35:19.909 --> 00:35:22.829
the land. And there are political groups going,

00:35:22.989 --> 00:35:25.230
but you can't. You don't legally own it, so you

00:35:25.230 --> 00:35:27.769
can't just take it. You know, you want it, buy

00:35:27.769 --> 00:35:31.550
it. Right. The guy doesn't want to sell, which

00:35:31.550 --> 00:35:33.489
they normally do. It's like the guys, the farmers

00:35:33.489 --> 00:35:36.269
will go, no. It also depends on which area you

00:35:36.269 --> 00:35:40.289
are. It's like if you're in, like my area, Kamaripuat,

00:35:40.389 --> 00:35:42.750
it's a very, I think our population must be about

00:35:42.750 --> 00:35:47.510
4 ,000, 4 ,500 people. So, you know, if there's

00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:51.659
a farm attack, people go out and help. ah if

00:35:51.659 --> 00:35:54.880
there's an attack in town the farmers come out

00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:58.599
and help nice and um you know it's that whole

00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:03.500
it's also the whole thing about um i hate to

00:36:03.500 --> 00:36:07.500
say this but the whole apartheid thing you know

00:36:07.500 --> 00:36:11.860
they think they're gonna kill get be killed and

00:36:11.860 --> 00:36:14.079
those things they are gonna kill you know so

00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:19.349
i don't see it happening because um as the world

00:36:19.349 --> 00:36:21.309
didn't stand for apartheid i don't think the

00:36:21.309 --> 00:36:23.690
world will stand for that kind of either right

00:36:23.690 --> 00:36:26.409
so you know basically reverse apartheid yeah

00:36:26.409 --> 00:36:31.030
yeah well look in some places right is i mean

00:36:31.030 --> 00:36:37.550
we i i have uh obviously um black uh south african

00:36:37.550 --> 00:36:39.949
guys that work for me uh there's a guy that's

00:36:39.949 --> 00:36:44.340
been with me for 19 years I mean, I paid for

00:36:44.340 --> 00:36:46.900
his license. I've paid for his kid to go to school.

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:51.760
He works, he's a supervisor. He drives our vehicles

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:55.699
and everything like that. And his name's Timber.

00:36:56.099 --> 00:37:03.719
And he himself, I mean, he's 37 now, 38, somewhere

00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:08.039
around there. He will sit with me and go, where

00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:11.800
are we going with this? What future is there

00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:17.239
for my kid in this country? Yeah. He'll do all

00:37:17.239 --> 00:37:19.739
those kind of things. We'll have these long debates,

00:37:19.960 --> 00:37:23.739
who to vote for, who not to vote for. I always

00:37:23.739 --> 00:37:26.039
say this. It doesn't matter who you vote in.

00:37:29.280 --> 00:37:32.039
I've said it a million times. The ANC's policy

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:34.119
and party is not bad. They've just got the wrong

00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:38.440
people in the wrong positions. Put it that way.

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:42.739
It can happen with any political party. I mean,

00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:44.579
Trump's party could be there. If Trump's not

00:37:44.579 --> 00:37:46.159
in there, they could have the wrong person there

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:49.960
or Biden. Look, I heard what you guys were saying

00:37:49.960 --> 00:37:53.300
about Biden earlier before you put me on. Yeah.

00:37:53.559 --> 00:37:56.199
Do you guys think you have a random president?

00:37:57.300 --> 00:38:00.699
Holy shit. Did you not see our Zuma era, our

00:38:00.699 --> 00:38:03.280
Ramaphosa era? Well, it's still Ramaphosa era.

00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:08.210
I mean, you know, as things fly. i mean you could

00:38:08.210 --> 00:38:10.409
bankrupt the country like assume i did and just

00:38:10.409 --> 00:38:14.369
not go to jail for it it's cool yeah it seems

00:38:14.369 --> 00:38:16.750
like the politicians live by their own set of

00:38:16.750 --> 00:38:20.070
laws um as opposed to us normies normal citizens

00:38:20.070 --> 00:38:27.070
yeah and the funny thing is um their own their

00:38:27.070 --> 00:38:29.170
own kind their own people you know all south

00:38:29.170 --> 00:38:31.150
africans black white indian doesn't matter what

00:38:31.150 --> 00:38:35.480
you are we all see it Right, and the government

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:39.420
stoked those racial divisions to keep the populace,

00:38:39.440 --> 00:38:42.000
you know, concentrated on that instead of the

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:44.679
fucked up shit that they're doing. Bro, they

00:38:44.679 --> 00:38:48.800
are, but in the same sense, you know, anyone

00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:53.900
that's about 30 and younger, you know, especially

00:38:53.900 --> 00:38:59.599
in the black population, they're all like, you're

00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:01.280
fucking us over more than what you're actually

00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:05.599
helping us. Yeah. You know, because these guys

00:39:05.599 --> 00:39:08.260
can think for themselves. You know, they could

00:39:08.260 --> 00:39:11.500
back then. They can now. Right. You know, and

00:39:11.500 --> 00:39:14.019
I'm not saying what happened back then was right.

00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:15.760
I'm not saying what's happening now is right.

00:39:15.860 --> 00:39:17.780
But, you know, anyone can think for yourself.

00:39:18.380 --> 00:39:21.420
Yeah. Is this a good or a bad thing? I mean,

00:39:21.460 --> 00:39:28.039
you can speak to any old generation black gentleman

00:39:28.039 --> 00:39:31.000
or black female, even white or Indians. Take

00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:32.960
Indians. Indians are never mentioned in narration.

00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:38.500
I mean, I can remember having, I was like four

00:39:38.500 --> 00:39:40.440
or five. I can remember having an Indian daycare

00:39:40.440 --> 00:39:44.139
lady. Like a Native American or an actual person?

00:39:44.219 --> 00:39:47.179
Oh, Indian from India. Oh, okay. That was born

00:39:47.179 --> 00:39:49.699
in Durban, raised in Durban. My mom and dad come

00:39:49.699 --> 00:39:54.659
from India. Yeah. You know? And that was my nanny.

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:56.739
And she was the coolest chick on the other side.

00:39:57.900 --> 00:40:00.559
You know? If I was in trouble, she'd give me

00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:03.679
a hiding. I'd tell my dad, go do it. You know,

00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:07.079
whatever. You know, my dad would come get me

00:40:07.079 --> 00:40:10.280
biting her lip. It's like, no, shit. Don't say

00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:17.019
shit. Don't say shit. Fuck. I love it. You would

00:40:17.019 --> 00:40:21.280
fit right in over here, dude. So I said this

00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:24.179
jokingly, but do you think it would be a good

00:40:24.179 --> 00:40:27.199
idea for Elon Musk to come back to South Africa

00:40:27.199 --> 00:40:30.679
and try to run for like some high political office

00:40:30.679 --> 00:40:32.980
and get shit under control? Or do you think,

00:40:33.320 --> 00:40:35.659
He would never do that and got too much on his

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:40.480
plate or he wouldn't be good for you guys. You

00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:43.760
know, if you compare him to a standard normal

00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:46.420
South African, he's very eccentric. I think he's

00:40:46.420 --> 00:40:47.880
very eccentric in any way. Oh, he's definitely

00:40:47.880 --> 00:40:50.940
eccentric, absolutely. You know, he's got these

00:40:50.940 --> 00:40:52.739
great ideas and I just finished watching this

00:40:52.739 --> 00:40:55.139
thing on Netflix about We Must Go Back to the

00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:57.880
Moon or something like that. It was about Elon

00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.300
and his SpaceX, is it? SpaceX, yeah, correct.

00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:06.289
Yeah, yeah. I mean, shit, okay. But, I mean,

00:41:06.329 --> 00:41:08.650
if you want to get someone rich and famous and

00:41:08.650 --> 00:41:10.989
whatever to come back and run South Africa or

00:41:10.989 --> 00:41:13.849
try to have a party, you can always ask Dave

00:41:13.849 --> 00:41:15.909
Matthews. He was born in Durban, if I'm not mistaken.

00:41:16.150 --> 00:41:18.750
That's true. I wanted to bring that up to both

00:41:18.750 --> 00:41:22.090
of you, actually, because it's a very sad story

00:41:22.090 --> 00:41:24.250
to come out of Dave Matthews. I don't know if

00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:27.739
you guys know this, but his sister... uh was

00:41:27.739 --> 00:41:30.480
living and married to somebody in south africa

00:41:30.480 --> 00:41:32.380
because his family i don't know if he was born

00:41:32.380 --> 00:41:34.360
there or he went there very young and then whatever

00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:37.559
but uh he was born in durban but left very young

00:41:37.559 --> 00:41:42.679
okay yeah um but his sister and the story wasn't

00:41:42.679 --> 00:41:44.139
out for a very long time because he didn't speak

00:41:44.139 --> 00:41:46.760
about it publicly but she was murdered by uh

00:41:46.760 --> 00:41:50.719
her husband um over there and like in a very

00:41:50.719 --> 00:41:54.170
brutal way And basically Dave had to take over

00:41:54.170 --> 00:41:57.809
and raise her kids, so to speak. Did you guys

00:41:57.809 --> 00:41:59.869
hear that story? Chad, you as well? I've never

00:41:59.869 --> 00:42:02.070
heard that. Oh, really? Yeah, because he kept

00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:03.909
on the raps for a year. Did you hear about that,

00:42:03.949 --> 00:42:10.489
Cash? No. Yeah. I've got a lot of respect for

00:42:10.489 --> 00:42:15.170
him. He's not my go -to choice for a CD or something.

00:42:15.670 --> 00:42:18.110
I've got a lot of respect for what he does. I've

00:42:18.110 --> 00:42:21.030
seen him live twice in South Africa. He came.

00:42:21.829 --> 00:42:23.610
towards the end of last year or somewhere this

00:42:23.610 --> 00:42:27.269
year already he's been here for a show and um

00:42:27.269 --> 00:42:34.010
yeah no um i didn't hear that story and this

00:42:34.010 --> 00:42:38.050
was a valentine's story then i don't know maybe

00:42:38.050 --> 00:42:41.630
you know that that's the world for valentine's

00:42:41.630 --> 00:42:45.590
day i bring up a gory murder my bad oh it's happened

00:42:45.590 --> 00:42:50.519
for us yeah let's get serious what was that Oh,

00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.300
yes. Oscar Peturias. Yeah. He shot his chick

00:42:53.300 --> 00:42:57.099
while she was in the bathroom four times on Valentine's

00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:59.219
Day. Remember the athlete with the one leg? Or

00:42:59.219 --> 00:43:01.360
did he have no legs? No, no legs. He's a double

00:43:01.360 --> 00:43:04.239
amputee, that's right. So he was an athlete and

00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:06.440
he was a runner, a double amputee runner, and

00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:08.940
he shot his girlfriend through the vent. And

00:43:08.940 --> 00:43:11.300
he actually won the 900 meters, I think it was,

00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.400
or the 100 meters in the normal Olympics, not

00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:17.489
the Paralympics. Wow. You don't remember this

00:43:17.489 --> 00:43:19.030
Oscar Pretorius. You don't remember his name.

00:43:19.170 --> 00:43:21.989
I think I remember the name. And then when you

00:43:21.989 --> 00:43:23.769
start saying the no leg thing, I started to remember,

00:43:23.889 --> 00:43:26.550
but you know, they used to call him blade runner

00:43:26.550 --> 00:43:32.989
because he used to have the blade. Yes. You guys

00:43:32.989 --> 00:43:35.170
hear about this new, he was a trans runner. He

00:43:35.170 --> 00:43:37.449
was a trans runner. So he was identified as a

00:43:37.449 --> 00:43:40.469
full legged runner. No, that you talking about.

00:43:42.070 --> 00:43:45.250
He's joking. He's joking. You talking about Custis

00:43:45.250 --> 00:43:49.039
and me. who's that i don't know who that is oh

00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:55.480
she's she she identifies as a she oh um she's

00:43:55.480 --> 00:43:58.880
competing in women's sports for a long time i

00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:03.079
mean she's held she's got gold medals from olympics

00:44:03.079 --> 00:44:07.340
even and stuff like that so but yeah it speaks

00:44:07.340 --> 00:44:13.320
like this south africa is a never -ending bowl

00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:19.519
of um jokes Well, it was the USA. Jagermeister,

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:21.400
Red Bull, and Chokes. That's the way we go, bro.

00:44:22.539 --> 00:44:25.739
Dude, what a crappy combination, man, because

00:44:25.739 --> 00:44:28.159
you're drunk as fuck on Jagermeister, and then

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:30.219
you're high as fuck on Red Bull, so you're so

00:44:30.219 --> 00:44:32.539
drunk you can't pass out. You're drunk and awake.

00:44:33.000 --> 00:44:36.860
Yes, which is not a good combo, but I love it.

00:44:36.900 --> 00:44:40.280
I saw a picture of Forrest Whitaker, that black

00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:42.699
American actor. He just had that droopy eye.

00:44:43.230 --> 00:44:45.309
I said, that's what happens when you drink a

00:44:45.309 --> 00:44:48.969
sleeping tablet with a Red Bull. Really? You're

00:44:48.969 --> 00:44:50.929
awake, but you're trying to go to sleep. Right.

00:44:51.570 --> 00:44:53.869
One eye's tired, one's eyes awake. No, I did

00:44:53.869 --> 00:44:54.829
a whole, we did a whole tour. He's a brilliant

00:44:54.829 --> 00:44:58.250
actor. I just didn't laugh. I had to. We did

00:44:58.250 --> 00:45:00.469
a whole tour with Counting Crows in 2000 where

00:45:00.469 --> 00:45:03.449
there's Red Bull and vodka was the fucking drink

00:45:03.449 --> 00:45:06.670
of the night. And of course, you know, I think

00:45:06.670 --> 00:45:11.289
I was 30 years. Yeah, around 30 then. So you

00:45:11.289 --> 00:45:14.030
can fucking go play a show, come off stage, drink

00:45:14.030 --> 00:45:16.269
a bunch of Red Bull vodkas, fall asleep in the

00:45:16.269 --> 00:45:18.889
bus, wake up, do it again the next day. Ain't

00:45:18.889 --> 00:45:22.130
happening. No worries. Dude, cash. How old are

00:45:22.130 --> 00:45:26.309
you now, Chad? 52. What time, how old were you

00:45:26.309 --> 00:45:27.769
when you came out to Saturday the first time?

00:45:29.329 --> 00:45:31.889
Oh, that was, I think it was in 99. So I was

00:45:31.889 --> 00:45:37.170
probably 28, I think. I've seen you. No, 29.

00:45:38.139 --> 00:45:40.019
I've seen you every single show you've come up.

00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:43.139
Really? Yeah. I always tell the story about the

00:45:43.139 --> 00:45:44.960
first time coming to Johannesburg because we

00:45:44.960 --> 00:45:47.260
had never been to South Africa. We fucking land

00:45:47.260 --> 00:45:52.960
and they take us to the Joburg dome. Yeah. That

00:45:52.960 --> 00:45:54.900
was called the cold dome or whatever it was.

00:45:54.980 --> 00:45:56.960
Yeah. And they're like, yeah, you're playing

00:45:56.960 --> 00:45:59.480
here two nights. It's sold out 20 ,000 a night.

00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:03.559
We're like, what the fuck? Wow. Okay, cool. That

00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:06.179
was amazing. And then after one of those shows,

00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:08.679
In the dressing room, we come off stage and there's

00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:11.500
a young black gentleman sitting there. We're

00:46:11.500 --> 00:46:14.639
like, who are you? He's like, oh, I'm a... Obama.

00:46:15.880 --> 00:46:21.519
What's that? Obama. Not Obama. He was the grandson

00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:28.679
of... Oh, God. Mandela. Mandela, yes. He's Mandela's

00:46:28.679 --> 00:46:33.739
grandson. One of them, yes. Wow. He's just sitting

00:46:33.739 --> 00:46:35.739
there in the dressing room. how'd you get in

00:46:35.739 --> 00:46:37.719
here? He's like, oh, Nelson Mandela's grandson.

00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:41.139
We're like, oh, hello, how are you? Dude, and

00:46:41.139 --> 00:46:43.679
if he wasn't, what a great cover. No, dude, I'm

00:46:43.679 --> 00:46:45.420
Nelson Mandela's nephew. Don't worry about it.

00:46:45.480 --> 00:46:49.980
I got parents. That's awesome. When he drops

00:46:49.980 --> 00:46:52.699
the Nelson Mandela bomb, it's more like, bitch,

00:46:52.699 --> 00:47:03.360
please. If you are related to Madiba, if you're

00:47:03.360 --> 00:47:08.090
a any spring buck especially a world cup winning

00:47:08.090 --> 00:47:10.510
spring buck you know our rugby team and you've

00:47:10.510 --> 00:47:13.530
won the weberless cup which we've did last year

00:47:13.530 --> 00:47:16.250
nice we were the only team to win it back to

00:47:16.250 --> 00:47:18.409
back and we were the only team to win it four

00:47:18.409 --> 00:47:22.230
times in a row well four four times yeah not

00:47:22.230 --> 00:47:26.650
in a row but four times anyways and trickus our

00:47:26.650 --> 00:47:30.289
ufc fighter that's just come back from uh canada

00:47:30.289 --> 00:47:35.420
for beating um Du Plessis, he beat Strickland,

00:47:35.500 --> 00:47:37.780
Sean Strickland. Yeah, Strickland. I mean, if

00:47:37.780 --> 00:47:40.039
you're one of those guys and you walk into any

00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:42.460
place, the crowd, black, white, it doesn't matter.

00:47:43.300 --> 00:47:45.539
They're around you. They just want to touch you

00:47:45.539 --> 00:47:49.539
or speak to you or, you know. I'm glad you brought

00:47:49.539 --> 00:47:51.760
that up, Cash. Very cool. What was that like

00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:57.530
as a country? Because that's the first. big UFC,

00:47:57.730 --> 00:48:00.710
MMA champion to come out of South Africa. Is

00:48:00.710 --> 00:48:02.829
that a source of pride for you guys? I would

00:48:02.829 --> 00:48:09.170
imagine so. I know, look, coming from a background

00:48:09.170 --> 00:48:11.409
where I've represented South Africa for martial

00:48:11.409 --> 00:48:14.670
arts as well. Nice. Back when I was younger,

00:48:14.710 --> 00:48:21.610
before my accident. That was, it's always a proud

00:48:21.610 --> 00:48:24.360
moment, you know, if your country wins. Especially

00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:26.119
South Africa because we are very sport driven.

00:48:28.260 --> 00:48:32.760
You know, you can talk shit about anyone's mom

00:48:32.760 --> 00:48:34.440
or whatever, but just don't talk shit about our

00:48:34.440 --> 00:48:39.039
team. Oh, that's funny. We'll make you disappear

00:48:39.039 --> 00:48:41.420
with some crocodiles. There you go. Don't talk

00:48:41.420 --> 00:48:45.179
shit about our Springboks or any team of ours

00:48:45.179 --> 00:48:47.199
that we hold sacred, especially the rugby team

00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:50.920
is the biggest. Let's face it. So, I mean, even

00:48:50.920 --> 00:48:54.639
like, you know, it's a wide, it's it's the only

00:48:54.639 --> 00:48:57.719
time really when the whole of south africa as

00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.639
a country stands together yes and now i think

00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:03.440
because this year is an election year for us

00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:08.320
as well for national election so i think you

00:49:08.320 --> 00:49:12.579
know it's gonna pan on forward i think there's

00:49:12.579 --> 00:49:17.480
more camaraderie with the different races and

00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:20.739
stuff and there's more understanding of why bad

00:49:20.739 --> 00:49:23.920
i mean we've been in Democratic now for 30 years.

00:49:25.179 --> 00:49:29.079
Just before you guys came on and we started doing

00:49:29.079 --> 00:49:32.699
this thing, we were in load shedding for the

00:49:32.699 --> 00:49:37.559
third or fourth time today. Oh, where your electricity

00:49:37.559 --> 00:49:40.659
goes? Yeah, our power gets cut for two hours

00:49:40.659 --> 00:49:43.699
at a time. I've heard this, yeah. Two to three

00:49:43.699 --> 00:49:47.699
times a day. Because our power stations can't

00:49:47.699 --> 00:49:50.489
handle the load. Wow. Wasn't there something

00:49:50.489 --> 00:49:51.969
with the government that took over the power

00:49:51.969 --> 00:49:54.289
stations though? It's always been a government

00:49:54.289 --> 00:49:58.610
entity. Oh, it always has? Okay. But why is that

00:49:58.610 --> 00:50:01.710
happening now specifically? Is it a government?

00:50:02.070 --> 00:50:05.010
For 30 years, no one's maintained nothing. Oh,

00:50:05.010 --> 00:50:06.630
got it. It's like our railway. Our railway is

00:50:06.630 --> 00:50:09.809
stolen. Right. It's poor net, what it was back

00:50:09.809 --> 00:50:14.849
then. We also had SAA back then when we became

00:50:14.849 --> 00:50:18.940
a democratic country, even before then. And Eskom,

00:50:18.980 --> 00:50:21.960
which is our power supplier, they were rated,

00:50:22.119 --> 00:50:25.280
and our military, believe it or not, was rated

00:50:25.280 --> 00:50:30.579
the top in the world. Really? Your, I say your,

00:50:30.719 --> 00:50:34.219
but the American SEALs used to come and train

00:50:34.219 --> 00:50:36.940
guerrilla tactics here. We taught them how to

00:50:36.940 --> 00:50:40.199
do guerrilla warfare. Wow. Amazing. Back in the

00:50:40.199 --> 00:50:43.860
day. I mean, they used to, I know there was engineers,

00:50:44.000 --> 00:50:47.219
electrical engineers and stuff from. that used

00:50:47.219 --> 00:50:51.320
to come out and come and see our ESCOM, the way

00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:54.559
we create power for the country. Because it was

00:50:54.559 --> 00:50:56.559
one of the most sophisticated ones in the world.

00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:59.480
And they wanted to do it back there. And then

00:50:59.480 --> 00:51:01.480
you guys went over to nuclear instead of coal.

00:51:02.000 --> 00:51:06.900
Yeah. I read a lot of history books. Good. It's

00:51:06.900 --> 00:51:12.530
good, man. Nice. Are these the outages planned?

00:51:12.690 --> 00:51:14.050
Do you know when it's going to happen, or is

00:51:14.050 --> 00:51:17.530
it just random? We got an app on our phone. Oh,

00:51:17.530 --> 00:51:22.550
my God. That's fucking crazy. Lights out, bitches.

00:51:23.190 --> 00:51:28.889
Wow. That is wild. I guess stuff in the fridge

00:51:28.889 --> 00:51:31.269
doesn't go bad in two hours and stuff, but...

00:51:31.440 --> 00:51:34.199
My God, has it ever lasted long enough to where

00:51:34.199 --> 00:51:37.820
food could boil or you're sitting there in sweltering

00:51:37.820 --> 00:51:39.179
heat because you don't have air conditioning?

00:51:39.380 --> 00:51:42.179
That seems like it could get out of control if

00:51:42.179 --> 00:51:44.559
they decide, hey, two hours isn't enough. We

00:51:44.559 --> 00:51:50.139
need five. So South Africa has got this super

00:51:50.139 --> 00:51:53.239
rich, super poor. Well, not super rich. You're

00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:56.699
good off. The super rich, that's the government.

00:51:57.179 --> 00:51:59.510
You're never going to get away from that. So

00:51:59.510 --> 00:52:02.789
you're either comfortable making your bread or

00:52:02.789 --> 00:52:05.489
you're super poor. I mean, you saw the shanties

00:52:05.489 --> 00:52:08.530
there in Cape Town and it's no different in Johannesburg.

00:52:09.010 --> 00:52:12.090
You know, so now when we have load shedding,

00:52:12.289 --> 00:52:16.250
you know, we've had to, our businesses can't

00:52:16.250 --> 00:52:19.230
run without power. Right. So we buy these big

00:52:19.230 --> 00:52:24.210
three -phase generators. You're looking at 140,

00:52:24.409 --> 00:52:28.639
150 grand a shot to run. Your whole business.

00:52:29.440 --> 00:52:31.400
They run on diesel or what are they running on?

00:52:31.579 --> 00:52:34.820
Yeah. Well, I sell diesel as a living. Oh, perfect.

00:52:35.019 --> 00:52:37.599
You've got a good supply of diesel then for your

00:52:37.599 --> 00:52:40.519
generator. Yeah. 80 ,000 liters at any given

00:52:40.519 --> 00:52:42.860
time. So that's fine. I was going to say, you're

00:52:42.860 --> 00:52:47.139
all for the power outages then. Look, it happens.

00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:49.179
But also in the same sense, we kind of guys like,

00:52:49.239 --> 00:52:53.480
shit, you know, let's say this lodge buys 700

00:52:53.480 --> 00:52:57.139
liters every second day from me. Wow. And we

00:52:57.139 --> 00:53:00.480
deliver it. It's like, let's give him a better

00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:03.900
price. Come on, man. You know, he also needs

00:53:03.900 --> 00:53:05.820
to make something and survive. We all need to

00:53:05.820 --> 00:53:09.300
survive. And that's how the country is actually

00:53:09.300 --> 00:53:12.739
working with each other a hell of a lot. You

00:53:12.739 --> 00:53:15.480
know, we all want to survive. We all want to,

00:53:15.539 --> 00:53:20.460
you know, we get told a lot that our power outages

00:53:20.460 --> 00:53:23.820
are almost over another four or five years. Great.

00:53:24.690 --> 00:53:28.210
So it seems there's a lot of camaraderie with

00:53:28.210 --> 00:53:30.570
the South African people, even if they're not

00:53:30.570 --> 00:53:33.289
being treated as fairly as they should be by

00:53:33.289 --> 00:53:35.789
the government. But at least you guys band together,

00:53:35.909 --> 00:53:38.750
it seems, and do what is necessary to get by

00:53:38.750 --> 00:53:42.369
and to survive, which is a beautiful thing when

00:53:42.369 --> 00:53:44.909
it comes down to it, because I don't know how

00:53:44.909 --> 00:53:47.510
we would work in America that way. It almost

00:53:47.510 --> 00:53:50.360
seems like over here the sentiment is. you know

00:53:50.360 --> 00:53:54.159
me me me and then worry about other people second

00:53:54.159 --> 00:53:56.800
uh but it seems like look we've got a lot of

00:53:56.800 --> 00:54:00.260
the me me me's trust me there's a span of them

00:54:00.260 --> 00:54:04.239
and um south africa just as a as south africa

00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:09.079
as a rule in general um they've got a saying

00:54:09.079 --> 00:54:11.219
that south africans have a way of just working

00:54:11.219 --> 00:54:16.380
you the out you know yeah you out of there's

00:54:16.380 --> 00:54:18.940
your space stay there across the space then it's

00:54:18.940 --> 00:54:23.949
another story Wow. We all like that. Yeah. Well,

00:54:24.030 --> 00:54:28.030
most of us. Maybe not the younger, younger generation,

00:54:28.030 --> 00:54:32.869
but... That's the only hope, Cashel, is the younger

00:54:32.869 --> 00:54:34.730
generation gets it right, man, because we've

00:54:34.730 --> 00:54:38.570
gotten it wrong so far. I worry, yeah. Younger

00:54:38.570 --> 00:54:42.190
generation, if you give a... Dude, when... I

00:54:42.190 --> 00:54:44.070
set my mom and dad's curtains alight when I was

00:54:44.070 --> 00:54:45.949
younger, right in their bedroom with a box of

00:54:45.949 --> 00:54:49.239
matches. There we go. I wasn't spoken to. I was

00:54:49.239 --> 00:54:53.539
beaten. Oh, yeah. I was knocked the fuck out

00:54:53.539 --> 00:54:55.860
seven times from Sunday. You know what I mean?

00:54:56.340 --> 00:55:00.059
All over. And I think I was six years old. Right.

00:55:00.739 --> 00:55:03.579
You never did that again, did you? No, but six

00:55:03.579 --> 00:55:06.179
years old now, you stand in the corner and think

00:55:06.179 --> 00:55:09.360
about what you've done. Right. You know, have

00:55:09.360 --> 00:55:15.980
your me time. Right. Get out of hiding. Yeah.

00:55:15.980 --> 00:55:21.260
I mean, now you get punished sent to your room.

00:55:21.300 --> 00:55:23.400
Like you got your phone and stuff. Like you really

00:55:23.400 --> 00:55:26.079
don't have me time anymore. You're so connected.

00:55:26.119 --> 00:55:28.360
Like these kids are so connected. I'm seeing

00:55:28.360 --> 00:55:31.139
six year olds, seven year olds with cell phones.

00:55:31.280 --> 00:55:34.079
I'm like, why do you need a cell phone? And then

00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:36.820
like people, you know, I know parents, they're

00:55:36.820 --> 00:55:38.860
not even putting parental controls on the phone.

00:55:38.940 --> 00:55:40.599
So if they want to get into some shit, they can

00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:42.480
get into some shit. Like, yeah, that's amazing.

00:55:43.029 --> 00:55:46.289
My girls are 10. They have phones, but I have

00:55:46.289 --> 00:55:51.250
everything locked down as much as I can. It's

00:55:51.250 --> 00:55:56.269
crazy. I've seen couples that have kids, two,

00:55:56.389 --> 00:55:59.829
three -year -olds, sitting in baby chairs. You

00:55:59.829 --> 00:56:05.150
take that iPad away from that kid, which his

00:56:05.150 --> 00:56:09.269
eyes are locked on. He screams, murder. Yep.

00:56:09.409 --> 00:56:10.869
Kid doesn't know anything about playing in the

00:56:10.869 --> 00:56:13.829
dirt or chewing on a stick or throwing stones

00:56:13.829 --> 00:56:15.809
at cars like we used to as kids and get into

00:56:15.809 --> 00:56:19.789
trouble. Right. Yeah, it's your iPad. Watch Barney.

00:56:20.170 --> 00:56:22.070
Right. Or whatever the hell you do. Play a game.

00:56:22.969 --> 00:56:27.869
It can be a good babysitter. For sure. Keep the

00:56:27.869 --> 00:56:30.030
baby quiet, but it's not a good babysitter, obviously.

00:56:30.469 --> 00:56:33.389
Right. No, look, if you really had to, you know,

00:56:33.409 --> 00:56:35.949
you put a time limit on it, a daily time limit.

00:56:36.090 --> 00:56:38.389
You know, you got two hours today. Yesterday

00:56:38.389 --> 00:56:40.039
you were... You didn't break anything. You got

00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:43.579
two and a half hours. Cool. When we grew up,

00:56:43.619 --> 00:56:46.820
we were actually talking about it to my niece

00:56:46.820 --> 00:56:50.719
the other day. She's turning 22 this year. We

00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:53.579
were talking about my nephew who passed away

00:56:53.579 --> 00:56:57.679
last year and how we and how they grew up. Our

00:56:57.679 --> 00:57:02.860
moms didn't say, you are home at three. When

00:57:02.860 --> 00:57:05.380
that street light's on, you better be home. Oh,

00:57:05.380 --> 00:57:09.079
yeah. We did the same thing. Yep. We could. Leave

00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:11.179
our bicycles in the front yard and not worry

00:57:11.179 --> 00:57:14.659
about it being stolen. Now you've got to pack

00:57:14.659 --> 00:57:16.219
your dog in the house as well because they're

00:57:16.219 --> 00:57:18.440
poison dogs. Then they break into your house

00:57:18.440 --> 00:57:24.440
and steal your car. Pack that thing full of either

00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:28.199
Ratex or brake fluid or whatever and send a piece

00:57:28.199 --> 00:57:33.440
of meat over the fence. There you go. They got

00:57:33.440 --> 00:57:37.280
it down. Yeah. So is that something you have

00:57:37.280 --> 00:57:39.340
to worry about on a consistent basis? Is somebody

00:57:39.340 --> 00:57:42.039
poisoning a dog and trying to break into your

00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:43.639
home? Like, it seems like that's the way you

00:57:43.639 --> 00:57:46.940
said it almost seems like it's happens. It's

00:57:46.940 --> 00:57:51.360
a common thing. Not really where we live because,

00:57:51.440 --> 00:57:57.579
you know, even our, our black citizens and Indian

00:57:57.579 --> 00:58:01.260
citizens we have in our town. When you say Indian,

00:58:01.380 --> 00:58:03.300
do you mean Native American? No, I'm just kidding.

00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:07.579
No, no, no, no. There's a running joke. What's

00:58:07.579 --> 00:58:09.500
the capital of India? They always say Durban.

00:58:12.840 --> 00:58:18.800
It's not there. I know that. Everyone's tired

00:58:18.800 --> 00:58:21.539
of the other guys trying to steal your shit that

00:58:21.539 --> 00:58:24.519
you've worked your ass off for. It's quite a

00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:27.719
common thing if you catch the guy, the security

00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:31.239
or the police, they deal with him in a harsh

00:58:31.239 --> 00:58:33.159
way that he won't come back. Not kill him or

00:58:33.159 --> 00:58:36.650
anything. Right. Go have a chat with him. Yes.

00:58:37.210 --> 00:58:41.829
Yeah. I mean, again, I'm not for police brutality

00:58:41.829 --> 00:58:45.349
and stuff like that, but there is a line where

00:58:45.349 --> 00:58:47.510
it's like, if they could just beat the shit out

00:58:47.510 --> 00:58:49.130
of, like, don't go overboard, but if they could

00:58:49.130 --> 00:58:51.550
just beat the shit out of somebody stealing or

00:58:51.550 --> 00:58:53.269
something like, they might learn their lesson

00:58:53.269 --> 00:58:55.849
because arresting them and letting them out on

00:58:55.849 --> 00:58:58.489
their own recognizance is not, they're not learning

00:58:58.489 --> 00:59:02.010
their lesson that way, but. That's the other

00:59:02.010 --> 00:59:04.590
extreme of it. yeah in the shantytowns yeah if

00:59:04.590 --> 00:59:07.829
you caught stealing by the residents it doesn't

00:59:07.829 --> 00:59:09.929
matter if you're black white union they they

00:59:09.929 --> 00:59:12.889
do what they call we call it necklacing they

00:59:12.889 --> 00:59:15.929
necklace you take a tire fill it with petrol

00:59:15.929 --> 00:59:19.869
put it around your neck and like wow that's that's

00:59:19.869 --> 00:59:22.389
you want to steal from me you you must sorry

00:59:22.389 --> 00:59:26.469
bye -bye wow Hey, I bet you the person, you know,

00:59:26.469 --> 00:59:28.889
that rolled with that person in the family, they're

00:59:28.889 --> 00:59:30.670
fucking going to think twice about, you know,

00:59:30.670 --> 00:59:31.989
cause this guy's gone, but they're going to think

00:59:31.989 --> 00:59:33.750
twice if they're going to do that. Like, Oh shit.

00:59:34.010 --> 00:59:36.650
But that's, that's like the shanty town way.

00:59:36.989 --> 00:59:40.489
Right. I don't call cops. You know, there's,

00:59:40.489 --> 00:59:42.210
there's a leader of, there's a leader of the

00:59:42.210 --> 00:59:45.250
town. You know, they, they call them the Induna,

00:59:45.349 --> 00:59:50.829
the boss of the town. And this guy protects the

00:59:50.829 --> 00:59:53.250
people in the town. And if they complain and

00:59:53.250 --> 00:59:54.829
say, look, someone stole this, someone stole

00:59:54.829 --> 00:59:57.690
that, someone, you know, destroyed my house or

00:59:57.690 --> 01:00:00.050
whatever. They literally go house to house and

01:00:00.050 --> 01:00:03.610
go find who did it. Wow. And then they necklace

01:00:03.610 --> 01:00:07.730
them. Boy, that's fucking brutal. It probably

01:00:07.730 --> 01:00:10.269
makes the criminals think twice though, because

01:00:10.269 --> 01:00:14.369
yeah, yeah. Well, like California and all of

01:00:14.369 --> 01:00:17.210
that, you guys have, well, from what we see on

01:00:17.210 --> 01:00:21.590
TV. it's perception of illegal alien problems.

01:00:22.010 --> 01:00:25.090
Big time. Oh, yeah. Well, our border is basically

01:00:25.090 --> 01:00:28.829
wide open. We've had like 8 million illegal aliens

01:00:28.829 --> 01:00:31.030
in our country in the last two, three years.

01:00:31.409 --> 01:00:33.969
Yep. Well, Mozambique and Zimbabwe is basically

01:00:33.969 --> 01:00:37.889
a suburb of South Africa. Okay. Yeah. It's the

01:00:37.889 --> 01:00:42.210
same concept. Right. They walk just across the,

01:00:42.230 --> 01:00:45.110
over the mountain. Well, here in California now,

01:00:45.170 --> 01:00:49.340
you can go into any store and steal, below $950

01:00:49.340 --> 01:00:52.019
worth of merchandise and nothing happens to you.

01:00:53.139 --> 01:00:57.179
Yeah. You know how much $950 is in rent? Oh,

01:00:57.239 --> 01:01:01.699
yeah. I'm sure it's a lot. And that is per store.

01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:03.340
So you can go to the next store and steal that

01:01:03.340 --> 01:01:07.400
same amount. If the cops come, they'll write

01:01:07.400 --> 01:01:14.099
you a ticket. If they come. Holy fuck. A lot

01:01:14.099 --> 01:01:18.860
of money. It's like 18 grand. Wow. Wow. Yeah.

01:01:19.619 --> 01:01:22.179
It's ridiculous. And it's kind of the same in

01:01:22.179 --> 01:01:24.420
New York now. They have cashless bail now where

01:01:24.420 --> 01:01:28.659
people just get busted for sometimes really bad

01:01:28.659 --> 01:01:32.440
crimes, beating people. And they're just let

01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:36.119
out right there. They take them to the processing

01:01:36.119 --> 01:01:39.639
facility and they're let out. They don't stay

01:01:39.639 --> 01:01:42.199
in the jail. Cash, they're coming up with terms

01:01:42.199 --> 01:01:44.619
like rather than cold. stealing they're calling

01:01:44.619 --> 01:01:47.659
it shopping without money like this is how warped

01:01:47.659 --> 01:01:50.019
our sense of perceptions getting stealing is

01:01:50.019 --> 01:01:53.460
stealing right exactly right well now and in

01:01:53.460 --> 01:01:56.539
some cases in california if if if the people

01:01:56.539 --> 01:01:58.360
that are working there try to intervene in the

01:01:58.360 --> 01:02:02.079
stealing they get fired that's how fucking clown

01:02:02.079 --> 01:02:04.960
world backwards it is so let me let me let me

01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:08.059
tell you how backwards is backwards though chad

01:02:08.059 --> 01:02:10.519
you break into my house and you have got a gun

01:02:12.780 --> 01:02:16.840
And I shoot you. I shoot you in the leg. I don't

01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:20.280
want to kill you. I just want to stop you. You

01:02:20.280 --> 01:02:23.719
can sue me for threatening your life. You can

01:02:23.719 --> 01:02:26.460
do that in California too. I get arrested the

01:02:26.460 --> 01:02:29.320
same time you do. I stay in jail in a cell with

01:02:29.320 --> 01:02:32.300
you while you are on trial for breaking in my

01:02:32.300 --> 01:02:36.119
house and I'm on trial against you for... It's

01:02:36.119 --> 01:02:38.519
like that here in California and New York and

01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:40.900
shit. All the very liberal states are kind of

01:02:40.900 --> 01:02:47.150
like that. If you defend yourself, then somehow

01:02:47.150 --> 01:02:52.110
you're wrong. I had a question. Why was everyone

01:02:52.110 --> 01:02:57.730
anti -Trump and you ended up with Biden? Because

01:02:57.730 --> 01:03:06.349
the choice was either re -elect Trump or go for

01:03:06.349 --> 01:03:09.489
Biden. That was the only choice I had. Fair enough.

01:03:10.480 --> 01:03:12.980
But they basically rigged the primary so that

01:03:12.980 --> 01:03:15.599
he was the only candidate because they picked

01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:20.320
him. So when I say they, the Democrats, he was

01:03:20.320 --> 01:03:25.059
the only guy. Because he's a puppet and easily

01:03:25.059 --> 01:03:28.360
controlled. Yeah, exactly. We won't give you

01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:30.280
Alzheimer's medicine if you don't say what we

01:03:30.280 --> 01:03:33.760
want you to. Cash, it's crazy. Like to the point,

01:03:33.760 --> 01:03:37.170
so people would rather elect. A person who has

01:03:37.170 --> 01:03:39.789
been lying to them for over 40 years in political

01:03:39.789 --> 01:03:44.090
office, then actually somebody who ran the country

01:03:44.090 --> 01:03:48.030
like incredible, you know, until COVID -19 happened,

01:03:48.090 --> 01:03:50.289
then, you know, the world's economy, you know,

01:03:50.289 --> 01:03:52.730
went down. But they would rather have somebody

01:03:52.730 --> 01:03:55.230
who's been in there for that long lying to them

01:03:55.230 --> 01:03:57.369
and been on the wrong side of how many laws and

01:03:57.369 --> 01:04:01.050
bills passed just because. They don't like the

01:04:01.050 --> 01:04:03.730
way, you know, President Trump spoke, not his

01:04:03.730 --> 01:04:06.590
actions in office. It's the way he spoke about,

01:04:06.650 --> 01:04:10.909
you know, grabbing. Right, right, right. So,

01:04:11.010 --> 01:04:13.070
like, that's how crazy we are. We would prefer

01:04:13.070 --> 01:04:16.349
somebody who gets us into wars and funds Ukraine

01:04:16.349 --> 01:04:20.110
and, you know, doesn't, you know, give Israel

01:04:20.110 --> 01:04:23.570
the proper backing than than somebody who actually

01:04:23.570 --> 01:04:26.469
had America's best interest at heart. I like

01:04:26.469 --> 01:04:28.630
I like how white little women still bring that

01:04:28.630 --> 01:04:31.280
up. He said. Grab her by the pussy. It's like,

01:04:31.380 --> 01:04:35.699
have you ever been in a male locker room? Give

01:04:35.699 --> 01:04:38.739
me a fucking break. I'm guaranteeing your fucking

01:04:38.739 --> 01:04:40.699
husband said that at some point, you white little

01:04:40.699 --> 01:04:45.000
dumbass bitch. Shut up. That's what the pickup

01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:46.860
line was that made you want to go for your husband.

01:04:47.239 --> 01:04:51.980
Exactly. I saw someone that started calling them

01:04:51.980 --> 01:04:56.880
offals. Affluent, white, female liberals. Oh,

01:04:56.880 --> 01:04:59.940
yeah. Offals. They're the ones that take their

01:04:59.940 --> 01:05:02.199
kids to the drag shows. They're the ones that

01:05:02.199 --> 01:05:04.260
are constantly saying, you know, this is racist,

01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:08.539
that's racist. They're the ones saying that biological

01:05:08.539 --> 01:05:11.320
males could identify as women and go in their

01:05:11.320 --> 01:05:14.119
sports. Like, what the fuck happened to women's

01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:16.760
rights? Like, why am I, like, up in arms about

01:05:16.760 --> 01:05:19.219
this? But, you know, all the women out there.

01:05:19.519 --> 01:05:22.679
The feminists are not. Yeah, it's crazy, man.

01:05:22.780 --> 01:05:24.659
Like, I just, I don't get it. Another example

01:05:24.659 --> 01:05:28.440
of an upside -down vote. Yeah. It's a mind virus.

01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:32.500
We've said it, but... I find that, you know,

01:05:32.500 --> 01:05:38.019
with... Even in COVID, your guys' GDP was, like,

01:05:38.019 --> 01:05:44.320
huge compared to the rest of the world. But Trump

01:05:44.320 --> 01:05:47.360
obviously did something right because you guys

01:05:47.360 --> 01:05:50.460
actually made money. Yeah. And instead of giving

01:05:50.460 --> 01:05:54.199
it away, like... they take it we will fund this

01:05:54.199 --> 01:05:56.559
road or fund that project or this and that and

01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:00.340
then you guys end up with no money and then you

01:06:00.340 --> 01:06:05.800
know it's like trump was so straightforward right

01:06:05.800 --> 01:06:10.099
people saying that they'd rather be lied to you

01:06:10.099 --> 01:06:12.719
know this is what we heard via the press here

01:06:12.719 --> 01:06:17.780
in south africa when our president phoned trump

01:06:17.780 --> 01:06:22.440
for help during covid trump said go get fucked

01:06:22.440 --> 01:06:26.039
i have to help my people first and unfortunately

01:06:26.039 --> 01:06:28.440
that's the case sometimes you got to take care

01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:31.260
of you before you could take care of the rest

01:06:31.260 --> 01:06:35.780
no well i agree with it how can i help you if

01:06:35.780 --> 01:06:38.840
all my people are suffering right you know it's

01:06:38.840 --> 01:06:42.320
just that's how you get out of office very quickly

01:06:42.320 --> 01:06:45.300
you know yeah i'm gonna go help them over there

01:06:45.300 --> 01:06:47.159
in their shanties but these people dying here

01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:51.179
right Those liberal white dunnies. We call those

01:06:51.179 --> 01:06:55.440
old ladies dunnies. Dunnies. Dunnies, yeah. I

01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:58.780
love it. Dunnies. Yeah. Come on. That's what's

01:06:58.780 --> 01:07:01.280
happening here now. I mean, the border's been

01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:03.059
open for, like I said, three years, 8 million,

01:07:03.219 --> 01:07:05.579
10 million people, whatever it is now. And they

01:07:05.579 --> 01:07:09.079
literally just walk over? Basically, yeah. They

01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:12.739
don't need a passport card or ID card? No, this

01:07:12.739 --> 01:07:15.380
is the whole issue. They have people that come

01:07:15.380 --> 01:07:20.030
in the right way and have ID. and immigrate legally

01:07:20.030 --> 01:07:23.590
and then become citizens. But what's happening

01:07:23.590 --> 01:07:26.829
on our border is basically the Biden administration

01:07:26.829 --> 01:07:28.869
has made it wide open where you can just walk

01:07:28.869 --> 01:07:33.469
across. And if you're apprehended by the authorities

01:07:33.469 --> 01:07:36.309
there, they just let you go. It's called catch

01:07:36.309 --> 01:07:38.789
and release. And you're supposed to show up to

01:07:38.789 --> 01:07:41.170
a court date in two years. This is happening

01:07:41.170 --> 01:07:43.809
with millions of people. We used to play catch

01:07:43.809 --> 01:07:52.570
and release at our earlier gigs. So anyway, so

01:07:52.570 --> 01:07:54.710
now they're going to these major cities that

01:07:54.710 --> 01:07:56.289
have called themselves sanctuary cities where

01:07:56.289 --> 01:07:58.090
they want to have illegals. They're going to

01:07:58.090 --> 01:07:59.849
New York. They're going to Chicago. They're going

01:07:59.849 --> 01:08:03.030
to L .A. And they're taking over all the services.

01:08:03.489 --> 01:08:06.070
Actually, they're getting special services that

01:08:06.070 --> 01:08:09.250
the local populations don't get, the people that

01:08:09.250 --> 01:08:10.889
are homeless. They don't get these services.

01:08:11.440 --> 01:08:13.659
But all these illegals are getting housing. They're

01:08:13.659 --> 01:08:15.880
getting $5 ,000 gift cards. That's what I don't

01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:17.840
understand about the states. You guys, well,

01:08:17.960 --> 01:08:21.960
I say you guys. The government is so easily ready

01:08:21.960 --> 01:08:26.960
to help illegals. Yeah. Well, it's by design.

01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:29.439
You guys have so many veterans that fought for

01:08:29.439 --> 01:08:33.319
their country. That's homeless. Yeah. Well, the

01:08:33.319 --> 01:08:34.979
Dems don't care about that. They want votes.

01:08:35.159 --> 01:08:39.439
They're importing voters. show you that old man

01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:41.140
in the street that fought these assholes from

01:08:41.140 --> 01:08:42.859
vietnam or wherever the fuck you fought for you

01:08:42.859 --> 01:08:44.720
guys he would also vote for you if you helped

01:08:44.720 --> 01:08:48.640
him yeah absolutely i agree with that totally

01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:52.100
100 that's i mean i'm that's i again i keep saying

01:08:52.100 --> 01:08:54.460
it's like clown world that we live in because

01:08:54.460 --> 01:08:57.920
this this administration and and all these local

01:08:57.920 --> 01:09:02.180
you know liberal democrat mayors they all favor

01:09:02.180 --> 01:09:04.399
the illegal immigrants they're not helping their

01:09:04.399 --> 01:09:07.340
people right They're like, oh, bring them in.

01:09:07.460 --> 01:09:09.680
And they're like, oh, we have too many. But then

01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:11.979
they're literally kicking kids out of schools

01:09:11.979 --> 01:09:15.079
and taking over schools and putting the immigrants

01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:17.760
in there for housing. And it's like, what the

01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:21.920
fuck? What are we doing as a country? We know

01:09:21.920 --> 01:09:23.720
what we're doing. We're importing voters for

01:09:23.720 --> 01:09:26.859
the blue. Yeah. What's going to happen with the

01:09:26.859 --> 01:09:30.720
youth that get kicked out of school and their

01:09:30.720 --> 01:09:32.720
schools get taken over? Do they get another school?

01:09:33.140 --> 01:09:37.069
Well, that's the thing. It's such a huge slap

01:09:37.069 --> 01:09:39.909
in the face. They have all this money to dump

01:09:39.909 --> 01:09:43.029
into illegal immigrants coming over or funding

01:09:43.029 --> 01:09:45.689
a war in Ukraine, but they didn't have this money

01:09:45.689 --> 01:09:48.250
to help out our poorer suburbs, our poorer inner

01:09:48.250 --> 01:09:51.489
cities, and get these people on the proper footing.

01:09:51.670 --> 01:09:54.670
It shows that they absolutely did have that money.

01:09:54.729 --> 01:09:56.909
They just didn't care enough to spend it that

01:09:56.909 --> 01:10:00.369
way, which is absurd to me. And then I'm hearing

01:10:00.369 --> 01:10:05.380
this little fucking fun fact that... I'm just

01:10:05.380 --> 01:10:07.340
going to say $100 billion. Say the $100 billion

01:10:07.340 --> 01:10:09.979
we gave to Ukraine, the government's trying to

01:10:09.979 --> 01:10:12.199
say, well, basically $60 billion of it comes

01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:15.380
back to us because they're buying their munitions

01:10:15.380 --> 01:10:19.859
and weaponry and stuff from us. Bullshit, dude.

01:10:19.939 --> 01:10:21.899
Don't fucking lie to me. It is not coming back

01:10:21.899 --> 01:10:23.779
to us, and if it is, it's going into Biden's

01:10:23.779 --> 01:10:26.920
bank account. So don't tell me that this is a

01:10:26.920 --> 01:10:29.359
good thing, that we're funding a war that is

01:10:29.359 --> 01:10:32.560
nowhere near our shores, has nothing to do with

01:10:32.560 --> 01:10:36.170
us. Like, it's not a NATO country. You know,

01:10:36.189 --> 01:10:40.510
what are we doing? Like, why are we there funding

01:10:40.510 --> 01:10:43.250
this war? And Putin said it in his interview

01:10:43.250 --> 01:10:45.710
with Tucker Carlson. He goes, the way this war

01:10:45.710 --> 01:10:49.210
stops is you stop funding them because I'm not

01:10:49.210 --> 01:10:51.310
stopping. This is, you know, he went back into

01:10:51.310 --> 01:10:53.369
the whole history why he's doing it. And he's

01:10:53.369 --> 01:10:55.970
like, this has nothing to do with you guys. And

01:10:55.970 --> 01:10:58.489
yet you're going bankrupt doing it. And, you

01:10:58.489 --> 01:11:01.270
know. Again, I hate to say that I agree with

01:11:01.270 --> 01:11:03.409
Putin, but he made a great point there in my

01:11:03.409 --> 01:11:07.229
brain. I always have this joke. Do you think

01:11:07.229 --> 01:11:13.510
Putin will ever pull out? I mean, hmm. The only

01:11:13.510 --> 01:11:15.949
way the Russians surrender or pull out is if

01:11:15.949 --> 01:11:18.850
they lose 500 ,000 men. So they're at about,

01:11:18.949 --> 01:11:22.869
I think, 250 ,000 right now. So there's still

01:11:22.869 --> 01:11:25.130
a ways to go. It's the only time they will give

01:11:25.130 --> 01:11:30.529
up. The mother of all bombs of, what do you call

01:11:30.529 --> 01:11:36.930
it? Yeah. Well, supposedly, even with all the

01:11:36.930 --> 01:11:38.930
sanctions that we're putting on Russia, they're

01:11:38.930 --> 01:11:42.489
doing well because India is buying a bunch of

01:11:42.489 --> 01:11:46.510
their oil from them, which isn't illegal with

01:11:46.510 --> 01:11:49.729
the sanctions. So it's like... It's like what

01:11:49.729 --> 01:11:53.390
we're doing isn't working. And as a person, again,

01:11:53.470 --> 01:11:55.710
not me, cause I'm not as educated as these people,

01:11:55.729 --> 01:11:58.270
but you would think that smarts would kick in.

01:11:58.289 --> 01:11:59.649
You would say what we're doing isn't working.

01:11:59.729 --> 01:12:01.569
We got a course correct here, come up with a

01:12:01.569 --> 01:12:03.810
different strategy, but no, no, no. The answer

01:12:03.810 --> 01:12:06.689
is to throw more money into it. When, I mean,

01:12:06.710 --> 01:12:09.229
I haven't talked to anybody who is all about

01:12:09.229 --> 01:12:12.689
throwing hundreds of billions of dollars to a

01:12:12.689 --> 01:12:16.689
country like Ukraine, which. was crazy, crazy

01:12:16.689 --> 01:12:19.470
corrupt before, before Russia took over. Like

01:12:19.470 --> 01:12:22.550
that was the, the beat on Ukraine was how corrupt

01:12:22.550 --> 01:12:25.109
that country is. You know, I'm watching traffic

01:12:25.109 --> 01:12:28.449
with Marianne then whatever. And, and she's going

01:12:28.449 --> 01:12:33.390
over about how literally Nazis were a big part

01:12:33.390 --> 01:12:35.689
of that country. And people, white supremacists

01:12:35.689 --> 01:12:37.970
from America would go there and get training

01:12:37.970 --> 01:12:41.529
from them and shit like, so like, Why are we

01:12:41.529 --> 01:12:45.050
defending somebody who has shit like that in

01:12:45.050 --> 01:12:49.470
their brain and is into Nazi stuff? It just doesn't

01:12:49.470 --> 01:12:52.170
make sense to me. It's going exactly according

01:12:52.170 --> 01:12:55.270
to plan to the elites that allowed this to happen

01:12:55.270 --> 01:12:57.409
and continue to fund it because they're all making

01:12:57.409 --> 01:13:00.890
money from it. Right. So if $60 billion comes

01:13:00.890 --> 01:13:03.409
back to the military -industrial complex of the

01:13:03.409 --> 01:13:05.729
United States, well, guess what those companies

01:13:05.729 --> 01:13:08.170
do? They fund all the politicians that vote on

01:13:08.170 --> 01:13:10.750
this fucking shit. Right. That's also bad business.

01:13:10.949 --> 01:13:13.909
I mean, they've given a hundred million. They're

01:13:13.909 --> 01:13:17.189
only getting 60 million back. Billion. Where's

01:13:17.189 --> 01:13:20.949
your, where's your profit? Right. Right. There's

01:13:20.949 --> 01:13:23.409
profit built in, but not for the, not for the

01:13:23.409 --> 01:13:25.949
country. There's profit for everyone else. Yeah.

01:13:26.170 --> 01:13:28.170
Cause it's funny. So that a hundred billion that

01:13:28.170 --> 01:13:31.590
goes out from our tax dollars, that 60 billion

01:13:31.590 --> 01:13:34.189
that comes back in has nothing to do with that

01:13:34.189 --> 01:13:36.710
tax dollars. And they could probably. fund whatever

01:13:36.710 --> 01:13:38.949
they want from it. Cause it's not on the books

01:13:38.949 --> 01:13:40.510
technically, you know what I'm saying? Like it's

01:13:40.510 --> 01:13:42.989
getting paid back that way. So they could probably

01:13:42.989 --> 01:13:44.890
just do a bunch of shitty accounting with it

01:13:44.890 --> 01:13:47.609
and fund black ops and whatever the fuck. Like

01:13:47.609 --> 01:13:50.430
I'm sure it goes way above my pay grade. Why

01:13:50.430 --> 01:13:52.689
the military budget already does that. Oh yeah.

01:13:52.949 --> 01:13:56.130
The $800 billion military budget already has

01:13:56.130 --> 01:13:58.630
secret black ops that you'll never see. Amazing

01:13:58.630 --> 01:14:00.970
how much money you guys have. Oh, it's nuts.

01:14:01.660 --> 01:14:03.359
We don't really have it, though. We're borrowing

01:14:03.359 --> 01:14:05.460
it. I was going to say, when you run in a deficit,

01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:10.760
you could do that. Your deficit is this big compared

01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:16.819
to ours. China gave us $500 billion. Don't be

01:14:16.819 --> 01:14:21.319
happy about that. No, no, no. Where is it? I

01:14:21.319 --> 01:14:25.239
don't know. Right. But then also, when you can't

01:14:25.239 --> 01:14:27.100
pay it back, China's going to come knocking.

01:14:28.539 --> 01:14:30.989
There's so many Chinese here already. yeah yeah

01:14:30.989 --> 01:14:34.310
then um i used to do construction in mozambique

01:14:34.310 --> 01:14:37.329
and the chinese pulled in there they built a

01:14:37.329 --> 01:14:39.770
stadium within three months a full -on stadium

01:14:39.770 --> 01:14:44.550
wow soccer stadium as big as the the calabash

01:14:44.550 --> 01:14:48.970
there in um johannesburg wow three months it

01:14:48.970 --> 01:14:52.010
took them to build it so i was talking to one

01:14:52.010 --> 01:14:55.369
of the foreman guys there uh the mozambique guy

01:14:55.369 --> 01:14:59.390
and i spoke portuguese with him and i said tell

01:14:59.390 --> 01:15:02.310
me um Where did you get all these Chinese dudes?

01:15:04.229 --> 01:15:07.329
No, that's the deal with the government. They

01:15:07.329 --> 01:15:09.930
send prisoners and their families from China.

01:15:11.010 --> 01:15:13.590
You build that stadium. When that stadium is

01:15:13.590 --> 01:15:16.930
built, you're free. They never fucking come back

01:15:16.930 --> 01:15:22.869
to China. Wow. Interesting. They give them money

01:15:22.869 --> 01:15:25.130
for the stadium as well. There, we pay you to

01:15:25.130 --> 01:15:30.180
take them. Wow. It's crazy. You know how we do

01:15:30.180 --> 01:15:32.539
this here. We could go on for hours here. I love

01:15:32.539 --> 01:15:34.279
to keep it to work. Let's talk music. Let's do

01:15:34.279 --> 01:15:38.939
it. Yes. I like to keep it where we want the

01:15:38.939 --> 01:15:40.720
audience wanting more. And when you come back

01:15:40.720 --> 01:15:42.319
on again, they'll have some more to listen to.

01:15:42.399 --> 01:15:44.880
So why don't you tell them where they could check

01:15:44.880 --> 01:15:47.819
out Cashel O 'Reilly? I'm hoping I'm saying that

01:15:47.819 --> 01:15:49.500
properly. Tell them all your socials, all your

01:15:49.500 --> 01:15:50.859
music stuff. Tell them a little bit, you know,

01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:52.399
where they can find you and check out your stuff.

01:15:53.039 --> 01:15:56.079
Oh, well, funny enough, you talk that I actually

01:15:56.079 --> 01:16:00.960
booked studio session time today. Nice. I've

01:16:00.960 --> 01:16:04.899
been mainly playing for bands and stuff like

01:16:04.899 --> 01:16:08.220
that and session work. I'm only doing my own

01:16:08.220 --> 01:16:11.359
original stuff again now. Starting now again.

01:16:12.520 --> 01:16:16.579
I'll be going to studio end of March. Very cool.

01:16:18.119 --> 01:16:20.939
I'm not in a rush for it. I want to do two or

01:16:20.939 --> 01:16:23.659
three songs at a time. Get the other one. Make

01:16:23.659 --> 01:16:29.170
sure those three are being cool. get the rest

01:16:29.170 --> 01:16:35.430
done and yeah do it that way and I have a there's

01:16:35.430 --> 01:16:38.869
a label that's interested in me very cool my

01:16:38.869 --> 01:16:43.569
stuff so I suppose it is I mean do labels actually

01:16:43.569 --> 01:16:47.189
do much these days I mean they rip off the artists

01:16:47.189 --> 01:16:51.350
yeah I don't know what they do these days honestly

01:16:51.350 --> 01:16:53.770
how they can rip off the artists I mean even

01:16:53.770 --> 01:16:56.869
if you've got the the streaming on Spotify i

01:16:56.869 --> 01:16:58.489
was job on a message i said the other day you

01:16:58.489 --> 01:17:00.649
got like a check for a thousand two hundred dollars

01:17:00.649 --> 01:17:03.350
for seven million streams from spotify yeah spotify

01:17:03.350 --> 01:17:05.970
is because all the majors if you have if you

01:17:05.970 --> 01:17:07.670
have new music and you put it on spotify you

01:17:07.670 --> 01:17:09.949
get paid more but all the majors struck this

01:17:09.949 --> 01:17:14.789
deal spotify and basically got stock for giving

01:17:14.789 --> 01:17:17.989
spotify their catalogs all right so they have

01:17:17.989 --> 01:17:21.109
they have access to all this music that the majors

01:17:21.109 --> 01:17:24.310
own it's a lot of legacy stuff obviously but

01:17:25.420 --> 01:17:27.739
So that's why these artists get paid shit. They

01:17:27.739 --> 01:17:30.819
get paid pennies for millions in streams because

01:17:30.819 --> 01:17:34.199
of this deal. And of course, the majors don't

01:17:34.199 --> 01:17:37.239
give any... I don't know what Spotify's stock

01:17:37.239 --> 01:17:39.539
is worth now, but even if they get a windfall

01:17:39.539 --> 01:17:41.220
from it, it's not like they're going to disseminate

01:17:41.220 --> 01:17:45.239
that across to the artists, right? Right. Bullshit

01:17:45.239 --> 01:17:48.439
deal. But that's another way record companies

01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:52.939
rip off artists. But I mean, you as the drummer

01:17:52.939 --> 01:17:57.220
for Live, Are you guys independent? Or are you

01:17:57.220 --> 01:18:00.300
guys signed to a label? Because the only way

01:18:00.300 --> 01:18:01.840
you can make money now is to be independent.

01:18:02.520 --> 01:18:04.340
Technically, the band is independent now at this

01:18:04.340 --> 01:18:08.779
point, yeah. Yeah. Signed to a label. Which is

01:18:08.779 --> 01:18:11.399
smart nowadays, especially if you already have

01:18:11.399 --> 01:18:13.500
the mojo behind you and you're already established

01:18:13.500 --> 01:18:15.680
band. Because, Chad, I don't know if you know

01:18:15.680 --> 01:18:17.659
this, but some of these record companies are

01:18:17.659 --> 01:18:21.039
taking part of the touring process now. Oh, yeah.

01:18:21.239 --> 01:18:25.729
What? And merch. They're getting in on everything,

01:18:25.850 --> 01:18:29.189
yes. That's because music doesn't sell the way

01:18:29.189 --> 01:18:33.550
it used to. It's not a commodity like it used

01:18:33.550 --> 01:18:35.649
to be where they controlled that you had to buy

01:18:35.649 --> 01:18:38.470
this whole record for $12. Hard copies, yeah.

01:18:39.310 --> 01:18:43.909
Right. Your device is the hard copy now. Right,

01:18:43.909 --> 01:18:46.649
exactly. 5 ,000 albums instead of a CD rack at

01:18:46.649 --> 01:18:49.390
home that's full of like 500 albums. And so,

01:18:49.449 --> 01:18:51.010
yeah, they're hoping that the band takes off

01:18:51.010 --> 01:18:53.270
and then does... touring and merch business because

01:18:53.270 --> 01:18:56.130
they can participate in that. But yeah, we, I

01:18:56.130 --> 01:18:59.369
mean, when we came back together, we, we wouldn't

01:18:59.369 --> 01:19:00.970
even entertain anything like this. Like we're

01:19:00.970 --> 01:19:03.630
not spilling our touring with your shitty record

01:19:03.630 --> 01:19:06.510
company. Right. Plus you had your own studio.

01:19:06.630 --> 01:19:08.829
Like you didn't need them anymore, you know?

01:19:08.970 --> 01:19:12.010
Yeah. Yeah. Last time you guys played in South

01:19:12.010 --> 01:19:14.670
Africa, it was the best for me that I've seen

01:19:14.670 --> 01:19:18.109
you guys live playing in South Africa. Oh, cool.

01:19:18.210 --> 01:19:22.229
What was that? Best sound. 17. anniversary, your

01:19:22.229 --> 01:19:26.229
reunion tour. Yeah, so was it 17 or 18 we came

01:19:26.229 --> 01:19:30.409
down there? I forget. 18. 18, yeah. And Chad,

01:19:30.529 --> 01:19:34.229
before COVID hit, you had another tour, I think,

01:19:34.250 --> 01:19:36.930
going to go to South Africa. The 25th anniversary

01:19:36.930 --> 01:19:41.109
of the Train Copper album. Yeah, I think it got

01:19:41.109 --> 01:19:45.069
delayed and stuff. The date was set. I think

01:19:45.069 --> 01:19:46.750
we were supposed to come down in 2020 because

01:19:46.750 --> 01:19:48.409
we were going to go to Australia and South Africa

01:19:48.409 --> 01:19:51.760
in 2020. I actually bought meet and greet tickets

01:19:51.760 --> 01:19:54.619
because the show was on my wife's birthday. Oh,

01:19:54.619 --> 01:19:57.020
no way. And the first international band she

01:19:57.020 --> 01:19:59.039
ever saw was when you guys played in Pretoria

01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:02.659
last. Oh, cool. And I said, we're going to go

01:20:02.659 --> 01:20:04.539
watch live. And she's like, hell yeah. I don't

01:20:04.539 --> 01:20:06.060
know if I liked it. And so I started playing

01:20:06.060 --> 01:20:07.859
Throwing Copper for her. I said, I love this

01:20:07.859 --> 01:20:09.760
song. I love this song. That's the whole thing

01:20:09.760 --> 01:20:10.859
about South Africa. They don't know the band,

01:20:10.960 --> 01:20:13.979
but they know the fucking songs. It's like, can

01:20:13.979 --> 01:20:17.119
we go? And then she had a blast. And then when

01:20:17.119 --> 01:20:20.229
it was going to be her. Fuck, I must be careful

01:20:20.229 --> 01:20:25.189
here. I think it's 36th, 35th birthday. I bought

01:20:25.189 --> 01:20:26.989
you meet and greet tickets so you can meet live

01:20:26.989 --> 01:20:30.909
for your birthday. Wow. Better get my money back

01:20:30.909 --> 01:20:34.750
from CompuTicket, bitches. Well, it has nothing

01:20:34.750 --> 01:20:37.109
to do with that. Sorry. No, I know. I'm just

01:20:37.109 --> 01:20:40.050
joking. I wrote that off a long time ago. No,

01:20:40.050 --> 01:20:42.130
Cash, what I saw, they put out a thing about

01:20:42.130 --> 01:20:45.090
it and saying, I don't know if it was Live Nation

01:20:45.090 --> 01:20:47.590
or whatever does the tickets over there, but

01:20:47.590 --> 01:20:50.529
they said that. They said if you did have it,

01:20:50.609 --> 01:20:53.989
you could, one, get a full refund, which they

01:20:53.989 --> 01:20:56.109
didn't want you to do. They wanted you to get

01:20:56.109 --> 01:20:58.029
a credit so you could use it to a different show.

01:20:58.369 --> 01:21:01.789
And then three, oh, I forget what it was. Oh,

01:21:01.850 --> 01:21:03.550
you could donate it to them because they said

01:21:03.550 --> 01:21:05.989
that basically everybody getting a refund from

01:21:05.989 --> 01:21:07.630
them would, like, cripple them. So they were

01:21:07.630 --> 01:21:10.569
hoping you did the latter, too, which was, you

01:21:10.569 --> 01:21:13.869
know, a call to cry, I think, from them, which

01:21:13.869 --> 01:21:16.130
I just found, you know, funny. They want you

01:21:16.130 --> 01:21:19.319
to, you know. lose that money rather than them

01:21:19.319 --> 01:21:23.100
because you know they're too big to fail so you

01:21:23.100 --> 01:21:25.960
know that the ceo of compete ticket probably

01:21:25.960 --> 01:21:29.000
drives a nice ml mercedes that i probably paid

01:21:29.000 --> 01:21:31.300
for throughout my whole teenage years watching

01:21:31.300 --> 01:21:34.180
pumpkins and bon jovi and all these guys coming

01:21:34.180 --> 01:21:36.880
out and they were the only ticket suppliers in

01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:39.239
the country then you know you wouldn't have uh

01:21:39.239 --> 01:21:43.300
all these other things like howler and everything

01:21:43.300 --> 01:21:49.500
so um No, I want my money back. Yes, and you

01:21:49.500 --> 01:21:52.439
can go get it now. So definitely send them a

01:21:52.439 --> 01:21:55.020
nice sternly written email. But Cash, why don't

01:21:55.020 --> 01:21:56.979
you tell the audience like an Instagram handle

01:21:56.979 --> 01:21:58.859
or like where they can find you? Hi, it's Cash

01:21:58.859 --> 01:22:02.720
Shaw O 'Reilly. That's all. It's easy on Facebook

01:22:08.979 --> 01:22:11.479

01:23:55.670 --> 01:23:56.909
those who didn't catch, he's talking about Zach

01:23:56.909 --> 01:23:59.710
Loy over there. He's awesome, man. We have guitar

01:23:59.710 --> 01:24:02.409
chat after guitar chat, especially he like saw

01:24:02.409 --> 01:24:10.250
this one of mine. Yeah, baby. Nice. And, um,

01:24:11.619 --> 01:24:14.739
He's like, boys, you're always playing the same

01:24:14.739 --> 01:24:16.680
guitars. Yo, you would as well if you had it

01:24:16.680 --> 01:24:20.840
because it's so nice. Well put. And well put.

01:24:21.779 --> 01:24:25.260
He's got some nice stuff. I've never seen a silverburst.

01:24:25.319 --> 01:24:26.840
That's fucking cool. I've never seen one of those.

01:24:27.359 --> 01:24:31.859
Really? No. Don't be like that, no. Not that

01:24:31.859 --> 01:24:34.720
I am a huge guitar aficionado, but I've just

01:24:34.720 --> 01:24:37.020
never seen a silverburst. I've seen sunburst.

01:24:37.779 --> 01:24:39.779
That's cool. So you want a funny story about

01:24:39.779 --> 01:24:43.380
music and bands? Sure. Canning Crows came out

01:24:43.380 --> 01:24:45.760
to South Africa last year. I think it was the

01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:47.739
middle of last year. Something to that effect.

01:24:48.600 --> 01:24:52.960
They came out without amps, without guitars,

01:24:53.060 --> 01:24:58.600
and they all had to be hired here. Oh, wow. Okay.

01:24:59.000 --> 01:25:03.000
For them. So I was asked if I could hire out

01:25:03.000 --> 01:25:09.300
an R8, a Les Paul Custom. Wow. My Taylor Acoustic.

01:25:11.430 --> 01:25:16.289
and my flying V. Was there a reason why they

01:25:16.289 --> 01:25:18.470
didn't bring their own equipment? Make the tour

01:25:18.470 --> 01:25:23.529
cheaper. Exactly. That makes sense. And I said,

01:25:23.609 --> 01:25:25.409
well, what amps do they use? Because I've got

01:25:25.409 --> 01:25:28.689
like a whole room for the amps and stuff because

01:25:28.689 --> 01:25:34.970
I rent the shit out here as well. And the guy

01:25:34.970 --> 01:25:37.489
said, how much per guitar? And I said, well,

01:25:37.689 --> 01:25:40.970
pay for my airline ticket. to cape town i'll

01:25:40.970 --> 01:25:43.470
do pretoria show and i'll go to the cape town

01:25:43.470 --> 01:25:47.010
show and put me up there for the night quid pro

01:25:47.010 --> 01:25:50.630
quo my guitar is on leaving my site this is south

01:25:50.630 --> 01:25:55.670
africa no ways right it's that and a handshake

01:25:55.670 --> 01:25:57.350
and a meet and greet from the band for saying

01:25:57.350 --> 01:26:01.529
thanks for um learning us your nice band came

01:26:01.529 --> 01:26:07.960
back said no jesus christ wow Yeah, but now how

01:26:07.960 --> 01:26:09.479
much do you want? I said, nothing. I want that

01:26:09.479 --> 01:26:12.000
handshake. You're not going to give me that handshake?

01:26:13.720 --> 01:26:15.279
This is the way I said it, actually. It was a

01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:17.359
bit rude, but they're not decent enough to shake

01:26:17.359 --> 01:26:19.560
my hand and say, geez, thanks, dude. We're going

01:26:19.560 --> 01:26:23.399
to use your gear. Right. It's like, well, if

01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:25.359
they're not willing to do that, fuck them. Sorry.

01:26:25.460 --> 01:26:27.979
Good for you. Good. Yeah. Done the same thing.

01:26:28.420 --> 01:26:31.899
I've got a mate that's got a band in the States.

01:26:32.199 --> 01:26:34.359
A good band, actually. You must have heard of

01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:38.579
them, Cedar. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, Sean and I

01:26:38.579 --> 01:26:43.500
went to school together. His brother used to

01:26:43.500 --> 01:26:48.880
work for my dad at some point. Small world. Sean

01:26:48.880 --> 01:26:51.300
and I used to jam a lot when we were younger.

01:26:51.560 --> 01:26:54.319
Teenagers, man. He's like three or four years

01:26:54.319 --> 01:26:58.000
older than me. When they went over, it was like,

01:26:58.060 --> 01:27:00.760
shit, there goes an awesome band. But I'm happy

01:27:00.760 --> 01:27:04.789
for them. Hell yeah. We saw them and we chatted

01:27:04.789 --> 01:27:07.109
with them a bit when they came out to South Africa

01:27:07.109 --> 01:27:11.529
last in 2018. I think it was. 2019. Yeah, it

01:27:11.529 --> 01:27:13.130
was after your guy's show. The year after your

01:27:13.130 --> 01:27:15.149
guy's show. They came out to South Africa. They

01:27:15.149 --> 01:27:18.050
were on their way to Australia and they decided

01:27:18.050 --> 01:27:22.350
to do one quick stop show here in South Africa.

01:27:23.609 --> 01:27:27.909
That seems to be off the beaten path for one

01:27:27.909 --> 01:27:30.829
quick stop. Cool. Not really. You've got to fly

01:27:30.829 --> 01:27:37.069
over us to get to fucking Australia. True. We've

01:27:37.069 --> 01:27:40.590
done that. We've actually flown around the world.

01:27:40.670 --> 01:27:43.449
We flew to South Africa, played, flew to Australia,

01:27:43.590 --> 01:27:46.689
played, and then flew back. We've done that twice.

01:27:47.329 --> 01:27:51.250
The life of a rocker. Cool, yeah. I love it.

01:27:51.409 --> 01:27:55.149
I'm endorsed by Marshall Music in South Africa.

01:27:55.329 --> 01:27:59.399
The Gibson guys for south african i mainly play

01:27:59.399 --> 01:28:05.779
only gibson shout out and um recently just about

01:28:05.779 --> 01:28:07.760
just over a year now we're just under a year

01:28:07.760 --> 01:28:11.739
um through martial music i'm also endorsed by

01:28:11.739 --> 01:28:15.859
neural dsp so i kind of got rid of all the analog

01:28:15.859 --> 01:28:19.640
pedals and amps i went straight to digital those

01:28:19.640 --> 01:28:23.939
modulars and for touring it's amazing it's like

01:28:23.939 --> 01:28:26.520
plug in plug your guitar and tune up okay let's

01:28:26.520 --> 01:28:29.460
play Tell them they owe you some money for promotions

01:28:29.460 --> 01:28:32.500
since you got to let our audience know what's

01:28:32.500 --> 01:28:34.479
up. You're doing a good job as an ambassador.

01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:40.819
There's no money in music. Right. No, but seriously,

01:28:41.000 --> 01:28:44.239
there's no money in music. I mean, if you're

01:28:44.239 --> 01:28:48.779
a muser of some sorts, even if you're a famous

01:28:48.779 --> 01:28:51.880
muser in South Africa, you've got a sideline

01:28:51.880 --> 01:28:56.539
gig business -wise because music alone just...

01:28:56.760 --> 01:29:00.979
it won't support you. Well, if you're doing music

01:29:00.979 --> 01:29:02.640
for the money, you're probably not doing it for

01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:05.279
the right reason anyway and then probably wouldn't

01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:07.739
get to make there. So maybe it's kind of a good

01:29:07.739 --> 01:29:10.239
thing because you're doing it for the love and

01:29:10.239 --> 01:29:12.199
then once you eventually come to the States,

01:29:12.300 --> 01:29:15.140
then you could start making some money. Wow,

01:29:15.340 --> 01:29:18.720
look, $5 there is like a million bucks here.

01:29:19.279 --> 01:29:22.479
You guys must splurge when you come out here.

01:29:23.520 --> 01:29:27.390
It's piss cheap for you guys. I mean, I was checking,

01:29:27.470 --> 01:29:31.050
it's just under 19, for $1, it's almost 19 Rand.

01:29:32.250 --> 01:29:35.250
Amazing. So, I mean, it's crazy. Okay, but let

01:29:35.250 --> 01:29:37.390
me tell you this. In your money, what does a

01:29:37.390 --> 01:29:41.810
bottle of Coke cost? Two liter or half liter?

01:29:42.010 --> 01:29:47.609
Let's go two liter. It's like 32 Rand, 35, maybe

01:29:47.609 --> 01:29:52.949
40 bucks. So... that's a lot of money. So, so

01:29:52.949 --> 01:29:55.430
that's to us, that would be, Oh no. So that would

01:29:55.430 --> 01:29:57.590
only be $2 roughly, or maybe a little bit under,

01:29:57.670 --> 01:30:01.909
right. Cause 19 ,000 a dollar, $2 and 11 cents.

01:30:02.149 --> 01:30:05.649
Ah, okay. So yeah, that's, that's cheaper than

01:30:05.649 --> 01:30:07.310
here, right? I don't buy soda. I don't know.

01:30:07.310 --> 01:30:09.789
Right now. Yeah. With buy inflation. Yeah. It's

01:30:09.789 --> 01:30:14.069
cheaper. Yeah. Uh, somebody posted, um, that

01:30:14.069 --> 01:30:16.670
they got secret Samadhi with the old member Columbia

01:30:16.670 --> 01:30:18.630
house thing where you paid a penny, got 10 CDs.

01:30:19.519 --> 01:30:21.760
Yes. And they said that, you know, they never

01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:23.539
paid the, you know, the whatever. And somebody

01:30:23.539 --> 01:30:26.000
said, well, with compounded interest, you would

01:30:26.000 --> 01:30:28.220
only owe like, uh, you know, another cent on

01:30:28.220 --> 01:30:30.279
top of that. And I was like, yeah, but with inflation

01:30:30.279 --> 01:30:33.779
from 97 to now, he don't fucking $30 on top of

01:30:33.779 --> 01:30:37.500
it. Exactly. You know? Um, but you know, throwing

01:30:37.500 --> 01:30:41.020
copper was hard to get in South Africa. Really?

01:30:42.439 --> 01:30:44.159
Yeah. Cause for a long time, while you guys had

01:30:44.159 --> 01:30:48.609
CDs, we only had cassettes. Ah, and. Being a

01:30:48.609 --> 01:30:52.909
conservative country back then, I mean, I got

01:30:52.909 --> 01:30:57.510
the... My first CD was Metallica Load. Oh, wow.

01:30:57.869 --> 01:31:01.210
Wow. And then my second CD was Secret Samadhi.

01:31:01.989 --> 01:31:06.930
Nice. And we used to... Hit Parader magazines,

01:31:07.149 --> 01:31:11.130
I used to get them sent from the States. Wow.

01:31:11.430 --> 01:31:13.630
They'd never rock up on time. You always end

01:31:13.630 --> 01:31:16.189
up at three or four, one shot. And then I'd quickly

01:31:16.189 --> 01:31:18.399
try to make up and then... you would see okay

01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:21.380
well live is releasing this album or so and so

01:31:21.380 --> 01:31:23.800
is releasing that album and then you would look

01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:26.140
for it and then i used to order band t -shirts

01:31:26.140 --> 01:31:27.840
from the states because you couldn't get it in

01:31:27.840 --> 01:31:31.060
south africa all right i mean rodriguez was even

01:31:31.060 --> 01:31:34.140
banned in south africa at one point and so that's

01:31:34.140 --> 01:31:37.840
crazy i found him and made him wow oh really

01:31:37.840 --> 01:31:45.859
yes yes so but yeah so but now i mean uh sorry

01:31:45.859 --> 01:31:47.800
to say Spotify and Apple and everything and make

01:31:47.800 --> 01:31:52.720
it so easy. They do. They really do. It is nice

01:31:52.720 --> 01:31:55.039
having everything at your fingertips. And if

01:31:55.039 --> 01:31:57.840
you have Apple music, you could also have your

01:31:57.840 --> 01:32:00.640
personal library of music. So say you have like

01:32:00.640 --> 01:32:02.819
some concert recording and stuff that's not on

01:32:02.819 --> 01:32:06.159
Apple music or, or some, you know, obscure album

01:32:06.159 --> 01:32:08.140
that they don't carry. You could literally have

01:32:08.140 --> 01:32:10.500
a copy of it on your phone, which is cool. So

01:32:10.500 --> 01:32:13.279
all that stuff is nice, but you still don't get,

01:32:13.319 --> 01:32:16.409
like I was saying that. In 1997, I cut school

01:32:16.409 --> 01:32:19.250
early to go get Secret Samadhi. You know, me

01:32:19.250 --> 01:32:21.229
and my best friend had our older brother drive

01:32:21.229 --> 01:32:24.390
us to get there and to get that CD and open it

01:32:24.390 --> 01:32:26.630
up and, you know, look at the liner notes and

01:32:26.630 --> 01:32:28.649
throw that in the CD player and listen to it

01:32:28.649 --> 01:32:30.890
start to finish. Like, there's something magical

01:32:30.890 --> 01:32:33.770
about that experience that you just don't get

01:32:33.770 --> 01:32:37.369
when you're streaming music, man. Right. You

01:32:37.369 --> 01:32:39.850
know? I want to feel like such a top telling

01:32:39.850 --> 01:32:42.989
you this story. Secret Samadhi. The very first

01:32:42.989 --> 01:32:46.989
song. Doesn't start on second one. And I thought

01:32:46.989 --> 01:32:50.409
I bought a fucking dud CD. And I'm turning it

01:32:50.409 --> 01:32:54.289
up and then all of a sudden, what the fuck? Oh,

01:32:54.329 --> 01:32:59.270
that guitar swell thing. I was like, this is

01:32:59.270 --> 01:33:02.029
so cool. So like out of the whole live thing,

01:33:02.130 --> 01:33:07.609
I've probably rewound it, throwing copper full

01:33:07.609 --> 01:33:11.710
length albums, cassettes, three of them and broken

01:33:11.710 --> 01:33:14.460
the cassettes. Because I learned to play it by

01:33:14.460 --> 01:33:17.539
ear. Oh, yeah. I can basically play the whole

01:33:17.539 --> 01:33:22.100
album by ear. Nice. By ear. And obviously, the

01:33:22.100 --> 01:33:24.100
songs I like the most out of Secrets of Money,

01:33:24.220 --> 01:33:27.819
I've picked up easily over the years to play

01:33:27.819 --> 01:33:30.199
and stuff like that. And at one point, we actually

01:33:30.199 --> 01:33:34.800
were looking at doing a live tribute band. Oh,

01:33:34.800 --> 01:33:39.199
sweet. I think you guys live is one of the very

01:33:39.199 --> 01:33:42.489
few bands that can come to South Africa. actual

01:33:42.489 --> 01:33:46.189
band and will knock the living shit out of this

01:33:46.189 --> 01:33:49.590
country and everyone's happy it was a good show

01:33:49.590 --> 01:33:53.890
yeah and then you won't hear them um bitch and

01:33:53.890 --> 01:33:56.229
moan like oh the crowd is so there's no crowd

01:33:56.229 --> 01:33:59.350
or whatever because let's face it so living in

01:33:59.350 --> 01:34:02.470
crowds when they when they big and they rowdy

01:34:02.470 --> 01:34:04.829
and they having a jaw you hear it doesn't matter

01:34:04.829 --> 01:34:06.850
how loud their pa is it's coming over their pa

01:34:06.850 --> 01:34:10.510
oh yeah for sure yeah so i think it was you guys

01:34:11.079 --> 01:34:15.539
Foo Fighters and Rockset. Not even Bon Jovi had

01:34:15.539 --> 01:34:19.619
it when he came out to South Africa. Wait, the

01:34:19.619 --> 01:34:21.800
guy who's seen a million faces and rocked them

01:34:21.800 --> 01:34:25.819
all did not rock South Africa? Bon Jovi. Yeah,

01:34:25.880 --> 01:34:27.800
that's one of his lyrics. He says he's seen a

01:34:27.800 --> 01:34:30.239
million faces and rocked them all. I'm just being...

01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:33.479
Dead or alive, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what's

01:34:33.479 --> 01:34:35.859
his name? When he came to South Africa in 94

01:34:35.859 --> 01:34:38.079
for the first... Or 35 for the first time. It

01:34:38.079 --> 01:34:40.210
was like the first... international act that

01:34:40.210 --> 01:34:42.609
came to South Africa after being democratic or

01:34:42.609 --> 01:34:47.630
whatever. I remember it clear as day. I was actually

01:34:47.630 --> 01:34:50.310
going to find that clip. He's looking at the

01:34:50.310 --> 01:34:52.729
camera and he looks at this guy in the crowd

01:34:52.729 --> 01:34:55.109
and he says, wave to the camera. Your mama's

01:34:55.109 --> 01:34:57.970
on the other end. And the guy says, shut the

01:34:57.970 --> 01:35:06.829
fuck up or sing. Well put. He's like, oh, fuck,

01:35:06.869 --> 01:35:12.590
okay. And he went on. You'll be amazed how many

01:35:12.590 --> 01:35:14.970
bands actually stop off here and don't play.

01:35:15.970 --> 01:35:19.689
They just come fly through? It's like a layover

01:35:19.689 --> 01:35:21.909
sometimes for them. I know Bush laid over here

01:35:21.909 --> 01:35:26.430
for two days. Really? There was a secret show

01:35:26.430 --> 01:35:29.869
that they put together. I said President Bush.

01:35:30.069 --> 01:35:33.090
He's talking about the band. Duh. Dude, you're

01:35:33.090 --> 01:35:35.569
on a roll today, bud. I am, dude. I am on a roll

01:35:35.569 --> 01:35:41.130
today. Look out, ladies and gentlemen. Don't

01:35:41.130 --> 01:35:43.850
mind me. It's early in the morning here. No,

01:35:43.850 --> 01:35:45.770
I'm just kidding. That's right. You know, Daughtry

01:35:45.770 --> 01:35:49.409
also comes out here. Daughtry comes there? Yeah.

01:35:49.810 --> 01:35:52.310
I kind of look like Daughtry, actually, now that

01:35:52.310 --> 01:35:56.689
I take a look. No, really? Does he play or does

01:35:56.689 --> 01:36:00.010
he just come to hang out? Both. He's toured South

01:36:00.010 --> 01:36:02.310
Africa, I think, once or twice. if I can remember

01:36:02.310 --> 01:36:07.609
correctly. But he has been seen on holiday. Slash

01:36:07.609 --> 01:36:12.069
as well. Very cool. Slash loves the wildlife.

01:36:13.369 --> 01:36:16.850
Slash loves the wildlife like Kruger and stuff

01:36:16.850 --> 01:36:19.630
like that. Don't you worry, Cash. We're going

01:36:19.630 --> 01:36:22.109
to bring the Gracious 2 to South Africa in the

01:36:22.109 --> 01:36:26.069
next couple of years. Maybe about two. Dude,

01:36:26.449 --> 01:36:27.989
it's going to cost you like 50 bucks to come

01:36:27.989 --> 01:36:29.489
over with your airline ticket because it's so

01:36:29.489 --> 01:36:33.619
cheap. I love it. That sounds perfect to me.

01:36:34.039 --> 01:36:37.000
But again, man, you were a great guest. Thank

01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:39.060
you for coming on. And please keep in touch because

01:36:39.060 --> 01:36:42.279
we want to have you back again. Thanks for having

01:36:42.279 --> 01:36:45.239
me. It's been a blast. Yeah, thank you. Thank

01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:47.579
you. I'm very honored to chat with both of you.

01:36:48.659 --> 01:36:52.619
You're very welcome. Thank you. Maybe Dylan found

01:36:52.619 --> 01:36:54.880
the brandy. Yeah, what the hell happened to Dylan?

01:36:55.490 --> 01:36:57.590
Yeah, we'll see. You'll hear from me, Dylan.

01:36:57.729 --> 01:37:02.390
You son of a bitch. You son of a baby. All right,

01:37:02.409 --> 01:37:04.130
my man. Be good, dude. We'll have you on again

01:37:04.130 --> 01:37:07.210
for sure. Awesome. Thanks, guys. Have a good

01:37:07.210 --> 01:37:09.189
one. Take care, Cashel. Be good. Cheers, cheers.

01:37:09.529 --> 01:37:13.930
Bye. Oh, here's one thing I wanted to ask before

01:37:13.930 --> 01:37:19.250
we got off the show. I don't know if every time,

01:37:19.329 --> 01:37:22.270
but I think every time you guys played Shit Town

01:37:22.270 --> 01:37:26.149
in concert. Ed would play the solo in that song.

01:37:26.550 --> 01:37:30.210
Now, I guess my question is, did he do that on

01:37:30.210 --> 01:37:32.710
the album, or is that just something he did in

01:37:32.710 --> 01:37:35.949
concert? No, he did that on the record, yeah.

01:37:36.470 --> 01:37:39.529
That was the one. I don't know why that decision

01:37:39.529 --> 01:37:41.369
was made, but he wanted to play the solo in that

01:37:41.369 --> 01:37:45.529
song. Or maybe he did not want to, or Chad was

01:37:45.529 --> 01:37:46.869
like, you should take the solo. I don't know

01:37:46.869 --> 01:37:49.189
how that went down, but yeah, that's Ed's solo.

01:37:50.539 --> 01:37:55.140
And then I was watching the unplugged and you

01:37:55.140 --> 01:37:57.439
know, you guys unplugged and it almost seemed

01:37:57.439 --> 01:38:00.659
like Ed was like picking out single notes during

01:38:00.659 --> 01:38:03.779
the song. And like Chad Taylor was playing, you

01:38:03.779 --> 01:38:06.279
know, rhythm guitar. Like if you look at all,

01:38:06.319 --> 01:38:07.960
if you listen to all over you or something like

01:38:07.960 --> 01:38:10.680
Ed's picking out the single notes in there and

01:38:10.680 --> 01:38:14.399
like Chad Taylor strumming. So to me, I'm like,

01:38:14.439 --> 01:38:17.619
why would he pick such a harder part to sing

01:38:17.619 --> 01:38:21.380
over? Does that make sense to you? Do you know

01:38:21.380 --> 01:38:24.579
what I'm talking about? He may have written the

01:38:24.579 --> 01:38:28.899
song like that, but the guitar idea, I don't

01:38:28.899 --> 01:38:32.640
know where all of you came from, but I think

01:38:32.640 --> 01:38:37.819
it all boils down to how he's writing the lyrics

01:38:37.819 --> 01:38:39.819
and the melody based around the part that he's

01:38:39.819 --> 01:38:41.380
playing. So usually it's the strumming stuff

01:38:41.380 --> 01:38:44.060
he's playing, like the rhythm stuff. Right. But

01:38:44.060 --> 01:38:47.399
they do switch back and forth, so maybe he wrote...

01:38:47.739 --> 01:38:49.800
the lyrics and melody to all over you playing

01:38:49.800 --> 01:38:53.319
that picky part i don't know but that it seems

01:38:53.319 --> 01:38:56.079
it seems like a plausible explanation right it

01:38:56.079 --> 01:38:58.680
totally does but yeah because i'm just like wow

01:38:58.680 --> 01:39:01.100
i'm like i would think that you know he would

01:39:01.100 --> 01:39:03.399
prefer to give taylor that part because i to

01:39:03.399 --> 01:39:05.539
me is somebody who like i said play a little

01:39:05.539 --> 01:39:07.699
bit i would think that would be harder to do

01:39:07.699 --> 01:39:10.279
like this thing over you know picking out isolated

01:39:10.279 --> 01:39:13.539
notes and stuff but um it's just it's just cool

01:39:13.539 --> 01:39:17.109
to see and then pick your brain about it That's

01:39:17.109 --> 01:39:21.949
what I know. Yes. So for, for, you know, everybody

01:39:21.949 --> 01:39:23.850
who wanted those questions asked, I hope we got

01:39:23.850 --> 01:39:26.590
to, to, to them today. Again, we want to thank

01:39:26.590 --> 01:39:28.289
you guys for coming on this journey with us.

01:39:28.329 --> 01:39:30.850
We got a lot of cool shit planned for the future.

01:39:31.289 --> 01:39:33.270
We'll be back next week. You can ask more questions.

01:39:33.750 --> 01:39:36.569
Yes. And next week we have something cool happening

01:39:36.569 --> 01:39:38.229
too. I don't know if I should let the cat out

01:39:38.229 --> 01:39:40.430
of the bag just in case, but I'll leave you guys

01:39:40.430 --> 01:39:43.460
hanging. But we could have two shows going on

01:39:43.460 --> 01:39:46.180
next week. So get ready, ladies and gentlemen.

01:39:46.279 --> 01:39:50.359
Oh, shit. Oh, shit. Let me go and stop these

01:39:50.359 --> 01:39:53.479
streams. Thank you guys so much. Casho was awesome,

01:39:53.520 --> 01:39:54.680
man. I had a blast. That was great.
