The Gracious Two - LIVE Show 078 - Lilies of David

The Gracious Two, Chad Gracey and John Rotolo discuss the ongoing war in Ukraine and criticize the left for supporting continued conflict. They argue that the left’s stance, influenced by media and NATO expansion, ignores the potential for diplomacy and the need to end the war. The hosts also express frustration with Zelensky’s perceived disrespect towards the United States and advocate for a more assertive American foreign policy.

Today's guest Lilies of David comes on and they speak about hoe the music industry has changed drastically, with the rise of digital downloads and streaming impacting traditional record labels. While some artists, like Metallica, faced backlash for fighting piracy, others embraced it, leading to a shift in the landscape and new opportunities for independent artists. Despite the challenges, the joy of performing and creating music remains a constant for musicians, regardless of the era.

Lilies of David lead singers, Jeremy Rotolo & Dierdre McGrath discusses their recent show, noting the crowd’s enthusiasm and their decision to mix original songs with covers. They express their desire to stay focused on their music and connect with their audience while maintaining a balanced approach to performing and promoting themselves.

Deirdre broke her back while snowboarding and continued performing despite the injury. The band discusses their songwriting process, which involves collaboration and individual contributions and how to fairly compensate members for their work. They also reflect on past disagreements and the importance of finding a balance that works for everyone involved.

The importance of clearly defining roles and documenting contributions through split sheets is emphasized to prevent conflicts over songwriting credits. The band reflects on the impact of management and the need for a mediator to manage personalities and maintain a positive work environment. They also discuss the challenges of balancing ego and belief in their music while staying grounded and humble.

Lilies of David discussed their journey from nervous performers to confident artists, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and consistency in live performances. They share their creative process for social media content and reveal their upcoming release schedule, including a series of singles culminating in an album.

The podcast discusses the band members’ musical backgrounds and their experiences performing live. They share stories about their early musical journeys, including how they discovered their talents and formed the band. The band also discusses their approach to choosing tour mates and creating a cohesive live experience for their audience.

Lilies of David discussed their upcoming release plan, including seven singles, and reflects on their past success and experiences. They also discuss the possibility of licensing their music for commercials.

Lilies of David, a New Jersey band, released their single “Skin and Bones” on February 7th and plan to release “Diamonds in Ruins” by March 21st. The band aims to tour and make a living from their music, with a focus on college tours. They encourage fans to support them by booking them through their website or email.

The podcast discusses the music of Lilies of David, praising their sound and comparing them favorably to the nineties. The conversation then shifts to conspiracy theories, with the hosts and guests discussing topics like the shape of the Earth, the true nature of NASA, and the events of 9/11 with semi producer Robert "Bobby" Hayes. The podcast concludes with the hosts thanking the guests and JRo reiterating the belief that the world is a vampire (joke based on The Smashing Pumpkins Song).

Lilies of David can be found on social media and streaming platforms. The band is thanked for their performance and invited back for an acoustic performance.

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:18.579
We are live, Mr. Gracey, what's going on? Hey,

00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:23.079
hey, special edition of the gracious two today.

00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:26.239
Fuck. Yeah, man. A lot of crazy shit happened

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:31.210
last night. Oh, my God. Yeah, and predictably,

00:00:31.390 --> 00:00:33.710
the left's going, Trump's supportin' puppet,

00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:35.969
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I guess I could

00:00:35.969 --> 00:00:38.909
say predictably, we will support Trump, but we're

00:00:38.909 --> 00:00:43.149
supporting, you know, America. Yeah. We're supporting

00:00:43.149 --> 00:00:46.630
not having World War III. We're supporting ending

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:49.189
a war so that no more people are getting killed.

00:00:49.250 --> 00:00:51.689
That's what we're supporting. You can support,

00:00:51.789 --> 00:00:53.890
you can be warmongers on the left and support

00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:56.549
whatever anti -Trump shit you want to support.

00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.399
But the fact is you're supporting the war continuing,

00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:04.019
which means you're a warmonger piece of shit.

00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:09.120
Yeah. Take that lefties. There is no excuse.

00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:11.700
I mean, it's ridiculous. You kind of sound like

00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:14.400
a lefty from 20 years ago when they believed

00:01:14.400 --> 00:01:18.180
in not going to war and fucking all that jazz.

00:01:18.540 --> 00:01:21.060
So I was saying earlier, it's like what happened

00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:23.219
to the Democrat Party? They've become the party

00:01:23.219 --> 00:01:26.620
of war. like they literally support a war because

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:29.180
they've been told to by the media we have to

00:01:29.180 --> 00:01:31.920
save Ukraine and blah blah blah blah blah and

00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:34.359
Putin's a dictator yeah Putin's a shitty dictator

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.219
we get it okay started the war but he started

00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:40.620
the war because he was prompted and and goaded

00:01:40.620 --> 00:01:44.200
into starting that war like it's been a solid

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:48.939
march of NATO to his front door since 1992 when

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:51.069
he was given When Russia was given assurance,

00:01:51.290 --> 00:01:53.189
he wasn't in charge then, but Russia was given

00:01:53.189 --> 00:01:56.349
assurances when the Soviet Union fell that NATO

00:01:56.349 --> 00:01:59.870
would not go past Germany. And where is it today?

00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:02.950
It's right on his front door after red line,

00:02:02.969 --> 00:02:06.170
after red line, after red line was crossed. And

00:02:06.170 --> 00:02:08.530
then at the beginning of this war, all he wanted

00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:13.409
was in writing from us, Europe and NATO that

00:02:13.409 --> 00:02:16.169
Ukraine would never become part of NATO. And

00:02:16.169 --> 00:02:18.050
they wouldn't give that to him. He said that

00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:20.830
was his red line. That's when he invaded. Right.

00:02:21.370 --> 00:02:24.250
And here we are. And now the left doesn't have

00:02:24.250 --> 00:02:27.629
the decency to allow Trump because they're anti

00:02:27.629 --> 00:02:31.650
-Trump anything to fucking stop it. Well, I just

00:02:31.650 --> 00:02:33.449
want to ask the American people, how would they

00:02:33.449 --> 00:02:37.449
feel if Russia was fucking, you know, move in

00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:40.210
bases into fucking Canada? Exactly. Exactly.

00:02:40.250 --> 00:02:43.590
Mexico. You wouldn't put up with it for one fucking

00:02:43.590 --> 00:02:47.360
iota and then fucking half. Half -Pint GI Joe

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:51.159
comes into the Oval Office and disrespects America,

00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:56.180
the Oval Office, President Trump, and Vice President

00:02:56.180 --> 00:03:00.639
JD Vance to their faces, ungrateful about the

00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:04.819
amount of money. We've given them $177 billion

00:03:04.819 --> 00:03:07.439
fucking dollars. We're not obligated to protect

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:11.319
them. They're not part of NATO. And this little

00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:14.680
fucking bastard comes into the Oval Office, smug,

00:03:14.979 --> 00:03:18.490
defiant, arms crossed, trying to relitigate what's

00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:20.229
happened. It's like, it doesn't matter what happened.

00:03:20.650 --> 00:03:22.310
You're trying to put a deal on the table where

00:03:22.310 --> 00:03:25.449
we do what we get 50 % of their rare earth minerals

00:03:25.449 --> 00:03:29.909
and we stopped the war. Easy. Sounds good to

00:03:29.909 --> 00:03:33.169
me. And he comes in there, defying about it.

00:03:33.189 --> 00:03:35.469
I mean, he's been defined the whole time. Uh,

00:03:35.469 --> 00:03:39.389
the secretary of treasury openly gay, Scott set,

00:03:39.710 --> 00:03:41.430
who is the first openly engaged secretary of

00:03:41.430 --> 00:03:43.270
treasury. And I make a big deal about that because

00:03:43.270 --> 00:03:47.360
the left always calls Trump anti -gay. Uh, that's

00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:50.120
the worst anti -gay person I've ever seen. But

00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:53.400
anyway, just because you don't blow guys doesn't

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:55.800
mean you're anti -gay. Just how to put that out

00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:59.319
there. So he had a meeting with, with half, half

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.900
pint GI Joe at in Keeve about 10 days ago. And

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:05.780
he was defiant then about the deal. He wouldn't

00:04:05.780 --> 00:04:12.099
sign it. It's like, why? Why? Hello. And then

00:04:12.099 --> 00:04:15.490
all the sheep on the left are like, Trump's a

00:04:15.490 --> 00:04:18.050
hell of a disaster. Trump's a poopy puppet. Blah,

00:04:18.149 --> 00:04:20.029
blah, blah. It's like, no. Trump's trying to

00:04:20.029 --> 00:04:22.069
stop the war. That's what he said from the beginning.

00:04:22.509 --> 00:04:25.750
100. And what's the difference between China

00:04:25.750 --> 00:04:28.089
and Russia at this point? We do all this business

00:04:28.089 --> 00:04:30.629
with China, and everyone's anti -Russia. It's

00:04:30.629 --> 00:04:33.189
like, yeah, he started the war. We get it. But

00:04:33.189 --> 00:04:35.389
why can't we just have normal? Why can't we have

00:04:35.389 --> 00:04:37.670
diplomacy with Russia to stop the war? What's

00:04:37.670 --> 00:04:39.730
wrong with that? What's wrong with having diplomacy

00:04:39.730 --> 00:04:41.990
with your enemies? There's nothing wrong with

00:04:41.990 --> 00:04:44.600
it. Opening up lines of communication should

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:46.379
have been done from the fucking beginning. It

00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:48.360
should have been done under Biden's administration.

00:04:48.579 --> 00:04:50.720
Well, Biden was too weak to fucking do it for

00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.360
a hundred. Many less mentally on a diplomacy,

00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.279
you know, the ability just to sit in a room and

00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.519
have a conversation with somebody. He can't do

00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:02.800
it. Do it, Putin. Come on now. You just can't

00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:05.420
go in there. Yeah, I mean, he probably would

00:05:05.420 --> 00:05:07.620
have fucking invaded us had he got on the phone

00:05:07.620 --> 00:05:12.060
with fucking Biden. It's just, it was just crazy

00:05:12.060 --> 00:05:14.779
to have that lack of leadership running this

00:05:14.779 --> 00:05:17.899
country for fucking four years and people okay

00:05:17.899 --> 00:05:20.720
with it. And like, you just saw the writing on

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.279
the wall. The ship was going down and fucking

00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:25.819
everybody's just hanging on fucking like, yeah,

00:05:25.899 --> 00:05:28.439
baby Titanic style. Yeah. They have all these

00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.800
liberal European leaders, you know, siding with

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:33.620
Zelinsky, blah, blah, blah. It's like Europe

00:05:33.620 --> 00:05:35.879
for too long has district. They don't like, they

00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:38.680
don't like America. They hate America. They disrespect

00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.240
us, but they expect us to pay for everything.

00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:44.040
Yeah, they like us. That's the way it's been.

00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:47.480
They like us to come in and clean up their bullshit.

00:05:48.180 --> 00:05:52.899
Exactly. Yeah. You know, the smug on that fucking

00:05:52.899 --> 00:05:55.839
what do you call them? Half point one. Half -Pint

00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:59.519
GI Joe. Half -Pint GI Joe. The smug on that motherfucker

00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:02.920
to sit there and talk to us about we're separated

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.860
by an ocean and we're not feeling shut the fuck

00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:07.939
up, dude. Basically threatened us. He basically

00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:10.699
threatened us. Right. With that's what Trump

00:06:10.699 --> 00:06:12.699
went off the handle. He's like, no, no, no. You

00:06:12.699 --> 00:06:15.420
don't tell us how we feel. Felt good to have

00:06:15.420 --> 00:06:17.740
a real fucking leader there putting somebody

00:06:17.740 --> 00:06:19.620
in their place like how you don't tell us how

00:06:19.620 --> 00:06:21.790
we're going to feel. I love they did that on

00:06:21.790 --> 00:06:23.870
live TV. I fucking love that they did it on live

00:06:23.870 --> 00:06:25.310
TV because if that would have happened behind

00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:27.689
closed doors, well, even if it did happen on

00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:30.230
live TV and after I watched it and then saw it

00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:33.990
on X and you know, all the all the clips, a little

00:06:33.990 --> 00:06:37.310
thing pops up on my phone, Apple News, Zelinsky

00:06:37.310 --> 00:06:39.870
leaves the White House. It's like, no, bitch,

00:06:39.990 --> 00:06:43.250
he got kicked the fuck out of the White House.

00:06:43.589 --> 00:06:47.509
He didn't leave. He got thrown out like a midget,

00:06:47.709 --> 00:06:51.160
like a motherfucking midget. Uh, that would have

00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:52.980
been cool if they did that actually Velcroed

00:06:52.980 --> 00:06:55.360
his ass up and threw him on a fucking dart board.

00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.639
Have you seen that meme from, uh, when they're

00:06:57.639 --> 00:07:00.779
tossing midgets in a Wolf of Wall Street? No.

00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:04.220
Yeah. Somebody put Zelinsky space on that, on

00:07:04.220 --> 00:07:07.480
that whole scene and they throw them. Oh, that's

00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:10.500
great. That's great. We got to get back to that,

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.000
dude. That was back in the day when we weren't

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.399
communist. We could drink and drive. We can fucking

00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.610
throw midgets against walls. What happened to

00:07:18.610 --> 00:07:21.209
America, dude? We went downhill for some reason.

00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:24.189
The lefties took over and filled our minds with

00:07:24.189 --> 00:07:26.730
propaganda paid for by USAID. That's what happened.

00:07:27.709 --> 00:07:30.629
Yeah. Who the fuck knew, though? You know, who

00:07:30.629 --> 00:07:33.610
thought that America was a big propaganda machine

00:07:33.610 --> 00:07:36.649
like that? I mean, I kind of thought, yeah, I

00:07:36.649 --> 00:07:38.629
thought we were living in a free society. Fucking.

00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:42.430
But no, I'm paid for by Pfizer. Good old Obama.

00:07:43.050 --> 00:07:48.970
Yeah. Talked about it before. Yep. Legal to propagandize

00:07:48.970 --> 00:07:51.209
the U S public. And here we are. Just look at

00:07:51.209 --> 00:07:53.790
us. It's amazing that you could do something

00:07:53.790 --> 00:07:56.170
like that, you know, under your administration

00:07:56.170 --> 00:08:01.029
and be looked at as okay. Like, no, like the

00:08:01.029 --> 00:08:04.949
left loves them. Yeah. I wonder why. Well, because

00:08:04.949 --> 00:08:07.209
they've been propagandized. I love them. This,

00:08:07.329 --> 00:08:09.529
I mean, they're literally brainwashed people.

00:08:09.629 --> 00:08:11.350
They, and they think we're brainwashed because

00:08:11.350 --> 00:08:13.230
we support Trump and he's a dictator and blah,

00:08:13.350 --> 00:08:15.050
blah, blah. Everything they say about him is

00:08:15.050 --> 00:08:19.370
fucking false. It's just crazy. We just let them

00:08:19.370 --> 00:08:22.730
get loud. Well, that's all they do is cry. They

00:08:22.730 --> 00:08:24.829
don't, they don't have any, they don't have any

00:08:24.829 --> 00:08:27.189
policies or any ways to fix things. They just

00:08:27.189 --> 00:08:30.449
bitch and moan about everything. Yeah, exactly.

00:08:31.689 --> 00:08:33.330
Uh, so the audience knows we're going to have

00:08:33.330 --> 00:08:35.590
another flat earth. They're coming on the show,

00:08:35.590 --> 00:08:37.830
uh, coming up flat earth. Dave, we're going to

00:08:37.830 --> 00:08:40.690
have them coming on with Bobby, uh, flat earth

00:08:40.690 --> 00:08:42.509
days where I can, uh, be a little up to speed

00:08:42.509 --> 00:08:46.600
on them. I just, I just can't wait to talk to

00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.179
somebody who, I mean, we have a producer on our

00:08:49.179 --> 00:08:51.519
show who believes it, but I just find it strange

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.220
that somebody could fucking believe the earth

00:08:54.220 --> 00:08:57.480
is flat, man. It's absurd. There's a lot of them

00:08:57.480 --> 00:09:00.679
out there. There is. I mean, so what happens

00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:03.620
when we go to Mars and they look back at earth

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:06.320
and see that it's round? Are they going to be,

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.679
uh, you know, they just, they just say every

00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.960
picture they see is fake. So, you know, I don't

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.100
know unless you send them up into space. for

00:09:13.100 --> 00:09:15.519
them to see themselves with their own eyes. And

00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.399
did you see that image from Mars, that fucking

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:22.500
rectangular? It's almost square shaped. Yes.

00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.740
Elon and Elon and Joe and Joe Rogan were talking

00:09:25.740 --> 00:09:29.179
about that. Elon was just on Joe Rogan. I believe

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:32.500
it was great. Great episode. Yeah. I think I

00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:34.299
got to watch it again because there was so much

00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:36.519
set in there that I think I needed to fucking

00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:40.039
digest it again. But oh, well. I learned two

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.679
new terms from Elon. I always learned terms from

00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:47.419
Elon, but he, what was it? Weaponized empathy.

00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:49.860
That's how we got here. That's how, like you

00:09:49.860 --> 00:09:51.820
said earlier, how do we get here with the left?

00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:55.100
Everyone has empathy. Most people have empathy,

00:09:55.539 --> 00:10:00.240
right? The leftist, the Democrat elites have

00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.570
weaponized empathy. Right? So you feel bad about

00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:05.730
people coming over the border and they look,

00:10:05.909 --> 00:10:07.610
you know, they're silent seekers and they're

00:10:07.610 --> 00:10:09.870
just trying to find a better way of life. That's

00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:12.269
not what happened. They're invaders and they

00:10:12.269 --> 00:10:14.830
were allowed in to change votes. Right? That's

00:10:14.830 --> 00:10:17.129
what we all know that. Just look at California

00:10:17.129 --> 00:10:19.830
for God's sake. California has led in more illegals

00:10:19.830 --> 00:10:23.129
over the years. They have the right to vote and

00:10:23.129 --> 00:10:25.789
they're a full Democrat super majority state

00:10:25.789 --> 00:10:31.720
and it's falling the fuck apart. Okay. Yes. Weaponized

00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.100
empathy leads to suicidal empathy where you're

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:38.120
so empathetic to something that's killing you.

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:42.220
You can't even see it. Hey now. Hence again,

00:10:42.419 --> 00:10:47.320
the state of California. Yeah. The fact that

00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.019
that's what that's what's going on. The fact

00:10:51.019 --> 00:10:54.879
that they Can't have like their power grid is

00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:57.259
not like sustainable as it is and they want everybody

00:10:57.259 --> 00:10:59.980
to be on fucking electric cars by 2030. That's

00:10:59.980 --> 00:11:01.899
just one little thing. Exactly. Yeah, right.

00:11:01.940 --> 00:11:04.600
But that's huge. It's like, what are you doing

00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.919
to fucking make that? So the fact that they have,

00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:10.200
you know, I don't know what their deficit is

00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:12.039
here, but it's huge. It's billions of dollars

00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.320
and they want to give a 9 .5 billion dollars

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:18.080
to illegal health care. People like the citizens

00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:20.389
of California don't get free health care. The

00:11:20.389 --> 00:11:23.470
illegals of California get free healthcare, paid

00:11:23.470 --> 00:11:27.590
for by our taxes to the tune where we're completely

00:11:27.590 --> 00:11:31.190
in fucking debt, and Newsom is setting up a $50

00:11:31.190 --> 00:11:35.090
million fund to fight Trump, meanwhile at the

00:11:35.090 --> 00:11:37.610
same breath as going to DC and asking for $40

00:11:37.610 --> 00:11:40.669
billion from the federal government. I mean,

00:11:40.830 --> 00:11:43.960
that's how fucking nuts it is. I'm surprised

00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.600
there's fucking people still living in your state,

00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:48.419
dude. Like, what the fuck? There should be a

00:11:48.419 --> 00:11:50.759
mass exodus from California. There has been.

00:11:50.879 --> 00:11:53.519
There has been. Yeah, but not enough, dude. Not

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:56.539
enough. Like, well, I mean, listen, it is there's

00:11:56.539 --> 00:11:58.019
parts of it that are really great to be here,

00:11:58.019 --> 00:12:00.820
but I wish I could leave, but can't right now.

00:12:00.980 --> 00:12:03.500
Well, you know, it's they should just take all

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:06.679
the legal people out of California and fucking

00:12:06.679 --> 00:12:09.100
put all the illegals there and have that be a

00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:11.779
fucking illegal state and just have at it, folks.

00:12:12.039 --> 00:12:15.000
Well, I don't know. It's not it's not economically

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:17.500
sustainable. I mean, this the state's going to

00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:19.580
go bankrupt and there's not going to be any bail

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:21.500
on the mouth. What's going to happen then? I

00:12:21.500 --> 00:12:24.940
mean, it's going to turn to shit and it is turned

00:12:24.940 --> 00:12:29.600
to shit. It's going to be worse. I mean, 15 billion

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.700
dollars on a fucking high speed rail that's there

00:12:32.700 --> 00:12:36.360
hasn't 17 years hasn't been one piece of track

00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:43.950
laid like what? Wow But that's what's happened

00:12:43.950 --> 00:12:45.970
they that all these legals and they can vote

00:12:45.970 --> 00:12:48.070
and they keep a super majority in the state of

00:12:48.070 --> 00:12:50.070
California Democrats and do whatever they want

00:12:50.070 --> 00:12:52.750
They're about ready to pass a bill where they're

00:12:52.750 --> 00:12:55.149
gonna make it be able to charge you with murder

00:12:55.149 --> 00:12:58.529
If you defend yourself against a criminal Coming

00:12:58.529 --> 00:13:01.110
into your home and attacking you if you kill

00:13:01.110 --> 00:13:03.070
them you can be charged with murder. That's what

00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:11.919
they're about to pass What? Yeah Wow. So in other

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:15.240
words, they're raping your fucking wife. You

charged. You're going to be charged with murder.

00:13:21.419 --> 00:13:24.360
Right. And like, what's the what's the justification?

00:13:24.779 --> 00:13:27.139
What is the logic behind that? It's some fucking

00:13:27.139 --> 00:13:29.980
asshole congressman from Santa Monica. It's like,

00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:32.580
well, let me send an illegal to rape your fucking

attention to this shit and bring it to your attention?

00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:51.519

get America great again, man Rocking that's again.

00:13:58.580 --> 00:14:00.059
That's what that's what uh, they were talking

00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:01.580
to Joe Rogan and you know, we're talking about

00:14:01.580 --> 00:14:04.460
that It's like we're at a point where make America

00:14:04.460 --> 00:14:08.980
great again is a bad thing, or all lives matter

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:12.559
is a bad thing. It's like, that's how reversed

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:16.320
and fucked up the left is. They could get offended

00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.799
by those simple, all -inclusive statements. Make

00:14:20.799 --> 00:14:24.659
America great again. Oh, you're a racist. Make

00:14:24.659 --> 00:14:27.039
all lives matter. Oh, you're a racist. It's like,

00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.639
what are you talking about? Listen to yourself.

00:14:30.409 --> 00:14:32.629
Dude, that was absurd with Black Lives Matter

00:14:32.629 --> 00:14:34.710
that you couldn't say all lives matter because

00:14:34.710 --> 00:14:37.570
only black lives mattered at that point. Get

00:14:37.570 --> 00:14:39.529
the fuck out of here, dude. All lives matter.

00:14:39.629 --> 00:14:41.889
I'm sorry. I'm glad you have a movement and I'm

00:14:41.889 --> 00:14:44.169
glad your movement is fucking buying houses and

00:14:44.169 --> 00:14:46.990
fucking using that money for personal gains rather

00:14:46.990 --> 00:14:49.029
than helping out the people that they're trying

00:14:49.029 --> 00:14:52.120
to help out. But yeah. All lives matter. I'm

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:55.240
sorry. Yes black or inclusive. Can you be if

00:14:55.240 --> 00:14:57.759
that's what you want inclusiveness, right? I

00:14:57.759 --> 00:15:00.460
just saw a girl a woman on on Instagram. She

00:15:00.460 --> 00:15:02.639
said I think I put on my story She's talking

00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:06.379
about DEI. She's like if DEI so great Why if

00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:08.440
you tell somebody like Kamala Harris that you're

00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:12.779
a DEI hired do they get offended about it? Gee

00:15:12.779 --> 00:15:18.370
let me think Anywho, so if it's great, why are

00:15:18.370 --> 00:15:21.129
you offended when someone calls you a D .I. higher?

00:15:21.809 --> 00:15:28.330
Hmm. Hmm. Oh, we are. How strange. It's Farganaka

00:15:28.330 --> 00:15:32.070
bullshit. But we do have some very special guests,

00:15:32.149 --> 00:15:35.970
Mr. Gracie. We're here for. Yes. This special

00:15:35.970 --> 00:15:39.470
bonus episode. We got the lilies of David coming

00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:51.870
on. We have David. Hi, Johnny. Hello, hello,

00:15:52.029 --> 00:15:54.169
Deirdre and Jeremy from Lilies of David. They

00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:57.090
just had a concert last night. How'd it go, folks?

00:15:57.389 --> 00:16:01.490
Nice. It was fun. It was we had a couple this

00:16:01.490 --> 00:16:04.169
week, but that one was we're excited about that

00:16:04.169 --> 00:16:07.190
because it was a it was a college party show.

00:16:07.230 --> 00:16:11.169
So was that it was at Rutgers. Yeah. Yeah, it

00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:13.570
was pretty crazy. It was a lot of fun. We did

00:16:13.570 --> 00:16:15.590
a lot of college shows back in the day, obviously,

00:16:15.730 --> 00:16:17.889
but I just told people, I never went to college,

00:16:17.970 --> 00:16:22.990
but I parted a lot. Honestly, it's really great

00:16:22.990 --> 00:16:27.090
because talk about like, intentful listenership.

00:16:27.590 --> 00:16:30.049
I feel like everybody's super engaged at those

00:16:30.049 --> 00:16:32.929
parties and you just meet so many people that

00:16:32.929 --> 00:16:35.769
hopefully like your music, which I think last

00:16:35.769 --> 00:16:38.049
night went well. So I think those parties are

00:16:38.049 --> 00:16:41.399
the best. Hey, that's how Dave Matthews band

00:16:41.399 --> 00:16:44.419
got started they allowed they went to toward

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:46.740
like college parties frats and all that stuff

00:16:46.740 --> 00:16:49.600
allowed people to tape their shows and Spread

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:52.720
the tapes around and boom here. They are Yeah,

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:55.340
are you guys against people taping your shows

00:16:55.340 --> 00:17:00.419
and putting out your live performances? No So

00:17:00.419 --> 00:17:02.820
we I never understood that one. They were everyone

00:17:02.820 --> 00:17:05.359
was against taping your shows like sprinted wherever

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.690
you want Billman send it out I mean that's kind

00:17:08.690 --> 00:17:11.289
of crazy like didn't that's what um everybody

00:17:11.289 --> 00:17:14.150
had an issue with like Napster and Limewire and

00:17:14.150 --> 00:17:16.630
all that stuff but I guess in a sense right like

00:17:16.630 --> 00:17:18.430
and you would probably know better than any of

00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:21.150
us chat it's like yeah I guess you're losing

00:17:21.150 --> 00:17:25.450
out on I don't streaming wasn't a thing then

00:17:25.450 --> 00:17:28.309
right so right well master was kind of the start

00:17:28.309 --> 00:17:32.470
of that yeah I think me personally my whole philosophy

00:17:32.470 --> 00:17:35.640
of that is that the major labels wanted to crush

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:37.980
Napster and they ultimately did. If they just

00:17:37.980 --> 00:17:39.859
would have embraced it, they probably would have

00:17:39.859 --> 00:17:42.599
been able then monetize it and make streaming

00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:48.039
a more monetizable asset for the artists. But

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:50.500
they tried to kill it. And that just made everybody

00:17:50.500 --> 00:17:52.359
go, oh, fuck them. We're going to get this shit

00:17:52.359 --> 00:17:57.380
for free. And now you have Spotify. And the majors

00:17:57.380 --> 00:18:00.640
did deals with Spotify where the majors got stocked

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:03.259
from Spotify. And so their whole catalog was

00:18:03.259 --> 00:18:05.519
put on Spotify. That's why you have artists that

00:18:05.519 --> 00:18:08.220
get paid pennies on the dollar for millions and

00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:10.519
millions of streams on Spotify. You get nothing

00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:12.920
for them because the record companies in Spotify

00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:16.339
basically fucked us all. If you're an independent

00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:18.980
on Spotify, you can make good money because they

00:18:18.980 --> 00:18:20.759
pay you a good rate. Right. You don't have to

00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:23.369
share with the label. Yeah. Well, they don't

00:18:23.369 --> 00:18:25.329
share with the label label gets paid and then

00:18:25.329 --> 00:18:28.150
you get some pennies here and there master. I'm

00:18:28.150 --> 00:18:31.190
pretty sure the label, right? Say it again. They

00:18:31.190 --> 00:18:32.990
control the master, right? So, I mean, yeah.

00:18:33.069 --> 00:18:35.130
Well, in most cases, yeah, they that when you

00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:37.029
make a record with them for the major, they they

00:18:37.029 --> 00:18:40.170
own the masters. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I mean, you

00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:42.650
kind of got lucky because if streaming didn't

00:18:42.650 --> 00:18:44.910
become a thing, there might have been zero money

00:18:44.910 --> 00:18:47.130
in music because everybody would have just been

00:18:47.130 --> 00:18:49.890
downloading, you know, illegally, like at least

00:18:49.890 --> 00:18:51.890
now with streaming, there's some money coming

00:18:51.890 --> 00:18:54.539
in. Because honestly, back in the day, that's

00:18:54.539 --> 00:18:56.779
all I was doing. I was limewire Napster. I'd

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:59.079
fucking download everything and have a free fucking

00:18:59.079 --> 00:19:02.200
catalog. Of course, I supported bands like yours,

00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:04.380
fucking Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, like bands

00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:06.839
that I like. But I wasn't going to go buy a fucking

00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:08.799
offspring record when I only wanted one of their

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:11.559
songs and fucking could download it for free.

00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.039
So it's like streaming while it still rips off

00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:17.119
the artist. It might have brought some revenue

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:19.380
back in that might have been completely lost.

00:19:19.720 --> 00:19:22.359
Well, it's it's amazing for getting your music

00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:24.359
out there and then you can obviously benefit

00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.960
from touring and Merchandise and all that good

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.740
stuff. That's how bands make money now basically

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:33.359
true sales I think where the record labels like

00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:35.539
really fucked up on that. Like you said they

00:19:35.539 --> 00:19:39.799
like a good point they tried to Kind of oppress

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:42.200
Napster and all those things that were eventually

00:19:42.200 --> 00:19:44.720
kind of transmuting into a streaming service

00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:47.259
and now you Spotify Apple music and all these

00:19:47.259 --> 00:19:50.690
things that control all the streaming like Universal

00:19:50.690 --> 00:19:52.950
and Virgin and all the like they're not doing

00:19:52.950 --> 00:19:54.970
any so they could have had that if they just

00:19:54.970 --> 00:19:57.569
yeah You know, they all could have owned Napster

00:19:57.569 --> 00:19:59.250
that probably could have partnered with Napster

00:19:59.250 --> 00:20:02.170
own part of it And at that point they were doing

00:20:02.170 --> 00:20:05.430
polls with people Would you pay for this if you

00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:07.150
had to and a lot of people were saying? Yeah,

00:20:07.190 --> 00:20:10.329
we'll pay for it just to get music this way Yeah,

00:20:10.329 --> 00:20:12.349
and but the the labels didn't listen to that.

00:20:12.349 --> 00:20:13.990
They were like fuck you. We're killing you This

00:20:13.990 --> 00:20:16.670
is all led by Laurel Lars from Metallica. Go

00:20:16.670 --> 00:20:19.619
figure Right. He was a big leader of that. They

00:20:19.619 --> 00:20:22.680
were pissed off about that. Yo, man. Like, don't

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:26.700
be downloading my music, dude. Yeah. Yeah. But

00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:28.279
I mean, it's just the writing was on the wall

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:30.339
at that point. It was kind of fucking it put

00:20:30.339 --> 00:20:34.119
a bad look on Metallica. Basically, at that point,

00:20:34.180 --> 00:20:35.559
people were like, what the fuck did the writings

00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.920
on the wall? Like you're over here fighting it.

00:20:38.180 --> 00:20:39.720
People got it already. Like, what are you going

00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:43.319
to do? But I mean, I definitely see it. It was

00:20:43.319 --> 00:20:46.990
it was the movie industry somehow. kind of got

00:20:46.990 --> 00:20:49.130
around it, though, because for a while you could

00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:51.109
download the movies and stuff like that and get

00:20:51.109 --> 00:20:54.289
a legal. But I don't know how they kind of kept

00:20:54.289 --> 00:20:58.930
that from falling by the wayside. I don't think

00:20:58.930 --> 00:21:01.809
that movie industry went against it so hard.

00:21:02.549 --> 00:21:05.250
Yeah. And then Netflix with the streaming and

00:21:05.250 --> 00:21:08.950
stuff kind of embraced that kind as well. It's

00:21:08.950 --> 00:21:12.000
a crazy landscape to think about. I mean, Going

00:21:12.000 --> 00:21:14.700
from a band like you, Chad, starting off in the

00:21:14.700 --> 00:21:18.079
late 80s, early 90s to starting a band now, it's

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.000
like a completely different landscape. Back in

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.400
the day, you'd probably get in a van and go fucking

00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.500
do tours and gigs and stuff like that. Now you

00:21:25.500 --> 00:21:31.059
could probably almost make a social media following

00:21:31.059 --> 00:21:34.519
and blow your band up that way rather than going

00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.170
out on the road. There's many more ways to get

00:21:37.170 --> 00:21:38.910
your music out now, but you got to cut through

00:21:38.910 --> 00:21:40.589
the static There's a lot more static, but there's

00:21:40.589 --> 00:21:43.410
many more outlets to get your music out seems

00:21:43.410 --> 00:21:46.650
I mean back in you know in my day that in my

00:21:46.650 --> 00:21:50.809
day back in Old guy, you know you if you wanted

00:21:50.809 --> 00:21:52.990
to be successful you you went for a major label

00:21:52.990 --> 00:21:55.670
deal They they funded everything they pay for

00:21:55.670 --> 00:21:57.210
your record. They give you tour support They

00:21:57.210 --> 00:22:00.589
got you out there and eventually hopefully you

00:22:00.589 --> 00:22:03.529
sold enough records to start having a good time

00:22:03.529 --> 00:22:06.279
with it, but It's just not that mechanism anymore.

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.920
Yeah. Are you guys fine? Are you guys trying

00:22:09.920 --> 00:22:11.880
to do this all like Lily's a David? I'm speaking

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:13.599
to you guys trying to do this all on your own,

00:22:13.700 --> 00:22:16.940
like kind of self -finance your album, put it

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:19.519
out there. Are you looking to get into record

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.059
labels? What's your kind of vision for that?

00:22:22.539 --> 00:22:25.059
I mean, and think and I have spoken about this

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:28.619
like we kind of it's a it's a six piece band,

00:22:28.660 --> 00:22:33.309
but you know, being Deirdre and I we fund everything

00:22:33.309 --> 00:22:37.769
ourselves and so we would like to stay independent

00:22:37.769 --> 00:22:41.710
as not as long as we can because I'm not like

00:22:41.710 --> 00:22:44.809
ignorant to the fact that a record deal and a

00:22:44.809 --> 00:22:48.009
record label is still important nowadays especially

00:22:48.009 --> 00:22:51.210
if you want to get to like a certain point but

00:22:51.210 --> 00:22:53.009
like you guys were saying the landscape has changed

00:22:53.009 --> 00:22:55.930
so you can make money you know streaming revenue

00:22:55.930 --> 00:22:58.609
and stuff like that strictly off Spotify and

00:22:58.609 --> 00:23:01.430
Apple Music as an independent artist but you

00:23:01.430 --> 00:23:05.420
definitely if that comes around and you get offered

00:23:05.420 --> 00:23:08.539
a decent deal, then you know, you definitely,

00:23:08.799 --> 00:23:11.140
we would like to take it. Yeah, but we're trying

00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:13.299
to do, we're doing everything ourselves. Like

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:18.339
all these songs are self -financed and we're

00:23:18.339 --> 00:23:20.140
definitely leading it up to an album that'll

00:23:20.140 --> 00:23:22.380
be self -financed too. So if something happens

00:23:22.380 --> 00:23:26.049
in the interim of that, then great. Chad, do

00:23:26.049 --> 00:23:28.890
you have any advice to give these guys so they

00:23:28.890 --> 00:23:31.890
don't end up in lawsuits after a couple of years

00:23:31.890 --> 00:23:38.630
of the band? Yeah, that's... I mean, so I'm sure

00:23:38.630 --> 00:23:40.549
you guys, between the two of you, you own the

00:23:40.549 --> 00:23:43.549
majority of the band. Do the other guys have

00:23:43.549 --> 00:23:47.569
ownership in the band or any say? No, not right

00:23:47.569 --> 00:23:52.450
now. It's just us on the LLC of the band. I was

00:23:52.450 --> 00:23:55.890
talking to a publisher... And they were telling

00:23:55.890 --> 00:23:59.549
me there's something like stock certificates

00:23:59.549 --> 00:24:02.390
of the band as well with an LLC. I didn't know

00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:04.630
about this and I still have to like look into

00:24:04.630 --> 00:24:08.269
that to see what that actually means. But apparently

00:24:08.269 --> 00:24:10.390
you could kind of give those out or something.

00:24:10.789 --> 00:24:14.529
You can issue units of the LLC if you want to.

00:24:14.650 --> 00:24:17.390
And that would just be basic ownership. But you

00:24:17.390 --> 00:24:21.130
need to keep control of the LLC. Don't give any

00:24:21.130 --> 00:24:25.200
control away. As long as you two get along. So

00:24:25.200 --> 00:24:27.900
probably the writer should have like a publishing

00:24:27.900 --> 00:24:31.400
company and then the band would be its own LLC

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:33.079
or something. I don't really know how. Yeah,

00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:35.019
you actually have to have a separate company

00:24:35.019 --> 00:24:38.480
for publishing and then a company that that is

00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:40.900
just for the band and touring and merchandise.

00:24:40.900 --> 00:24:44.940
Probably that's definitely suggest that. My brother,

00:24:44.940 --> 00:24:47.519
Jeremy, I'll do all the deals for you and make

00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:49.940
sure that I'm at the head of it and make sure

00:24:49.940 --> 00:24:54.000
the money funnels into my bank account. I'll

00:24:54.000 --> 00:24:57.559
be your manager that way. What was the that happens?

00:24:58.240 --> 00:25:00.380
Yeah, Elvis's manager. What was the Uncle Tom

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:03.500
or Colonel Tom or some shit? Yeah, Uncle Tom.

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.519
That was he did. Colonel Sanders, Colonel Sanders.

00:25:08.539 --> 00:25:11.240
That was at the Chicken Dude. No, but whatever

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.720
the fucking Elvis's manager, he completely robbed

00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:16.859
them blind and fucking was working them to the

00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:20.220
bone. That's an old tale. And yeah, unfortunately.

00:25:20.779 --> 00:25:22.880
Chad, should I not do that to my younger brother

00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:28.599
though? I'll just ride him like a donkey. Deirdre,

00:25:29.220 --> 00:25:32.799
since you're one of the front men of the band.

00:25:32.819 --> 00:25:35.859
Front woman. Front woman, I'm sorry. I thought

00:25:35.859 --> 00:25:40.519
she was transitioning, I'm not sure. Do we wear

00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.680
sexy outfits on stage? Are we trying to entice

00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.599
the crowd that way? Talk to me. It depends on

00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:50.119
the venue. I feel like each venue you have to...

00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.339
Fit the environment and we've been playing a

00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:55.519
lot of different types of places from like house

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:59.359
shows to banquet halls To house independence

00:25:59.359 --> 00:26:02.339
like just a rock and roll venue. So it really

00:26:02.339 --> 00:26:06.579
depends I'm gonna give I'm gonna give you guys

00:26:06.579 --> 00:26:08.880
a cool piece of advice from somebody who's been

00:26:08.880 --> 00:26:12.980
to a lot of college parties If you bring a poll

00:26:12.980 --> 00:26:17.039
like literally a fucking Five foot pole and just

00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:19.299
like put it in the center of the floor chicks

00:26:19.299 --> 00:26:23.779
will come up and dance on it This happened at

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:25.799
a party way back in the day me and my friends

00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:27.599
go there and we found like this pole in the basement

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:29.779
just bring it up and just stack it in the middle

00:26:29.779 --> 00:26:32.559
of a dance floor and Ladies just came up and

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.240
started dancing on it. So every time we went

00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:36.740
to parties We were like break out the pole and

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:39.420
just go up and dance on it people do that now

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:42.220
There's actually there's a spanned up in Asbury.

00:26:42.220 --> 00:26:44.519
I forget the name of them But we did a few shows

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.660
with them and they actually bring a pole and

00:26:47.660 --> 00:26:49.720
pole dancers to actual venues now and they made

00:26:49.720 --> 00:26:53.140
it part of their. It's it's a good idea. Chad,

00:26:53.160 --> 00:26:56.059
you opened for Jane's Addiction back in the day.

00:26:56.059 --> 00:26:58.019
Oh, yeah, that full on strippers on stage. Yeah,

00:26:58.319 --> 00:27:02.619
basically all of them. They describe so live

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:06.960
did like this acoustic jam before Jane's Addiction.

00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:10.640
And they used to call themselves the lube before

00:27:10.640 --> 00:27:14.670
the sex act. Did you know that moniker was was

00:27:14.670 --> 00:27:16.549
called that chat? Because that's how they described

00:27:16.549 --> 00:27:18.930
it. I don't know if it was Ed or somebody, but

00:27:18.930 --> 00:27:21.089
they said, I think I heard. Yeah. Yeah, I think

00:27:21.089 --> 00:27:24.309
it was said that. Yeah, that's funny, man. But

00:27:24.309 --> 00:27:27.130
it really was. It was a wild show. Fucking strippers

00:27:27.130 --> 00:27:29.990
just like in the air and fucking flowing through

00:27:29.990 --> 00:27:34.569
was crazy. But yes, sexuality, Deirdre, be naked

00:27:34.569 --> 00:27:38.569
on stage. It'll track them down. Put your jet

00:27:38.569 --> 00:27:44.519
pack on. Put your jet pack on Bing. Do you guys

00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:46.940
like performing? Is that like what's what's the

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:49.740
most fun of being in a band? Is it the performing?

00:27:49.940 --> 00:27:52.640
Is it the studio? Is it the writing? Like, where's

00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.700
the joy come? Finding that flow, whatever that

00:27:56.700 --> 00:27:59.759
may be. So sometimes it is performing. Sometimes

00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.859
it's songwriting. It's just like getting into

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:05.619
a flow with whatever you're doing. I feel like

00:28:05.619 --> 00:28:10.619
for me. Do you have a way to get into the flow?

00:28:11.079 --> 00:28:14.319
Are you finding it easier as you perform more?

00:28:14.420 --> 00:28:16.500
Do you have a ritual to get you in that head

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:23.140
space? I feel like I'm still figuring out a ritual

00:28:23.140 --> 00:28:26.779
for it. I'm still playing around with what works.

00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.099
Chad, did you have any, like, pre -stage rituals

00:28:30.099 --> 00:28:33.000
to kind of get in that, like, vibe space and,

00:28:33.220 --> 00:28:34.720
like, get in? Because you have an alter ego,

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:36.180
dude. I don't know. I mean, people have said

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:37.799
it about you. Like, you're a different person

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.119
onstage and offstage. When you put that backwards

00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.160
cap on, you're almost like the over -the -top

00:28:44.160 --> 00:28:47.220
guy in, you know, that movie with Sylvester Stallone.

00:28:47.339 --> 00:28:51.160
Over the top. Nice. Yeah. I didn't really have

00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:54.319
a ritual. I just, I would, before the show, I

00:28:54.319 --> 00:28:56.480
would just be kind of like... Cool. And maybe,

00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.220
I don't know, maybe if you want to use the word

00:28:58.220 --> 00:29:01.099
Zen, I would just be chill. And then when I sit

00:29:01.099 --> 00:29:04.380
down on the, on the, uh, on the stool and time

00:29:04.380 --> 00:29:08.039
to go, boom, shock, turn, turn it on. So yeah,

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.420
but I wouldn't, I mean, we, we did this show

00:29:10.420 --> 00:29:14.000
with Metallica one time and, uh, the Ella K rock

00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:17.539
weenie roast in LA back in like, I don't know,

00:29:17.700 --> 00:29:20.660
somewhere in the two thousands and Ed, Ed ran

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:22.539
into there. He was all drunk and he ran into

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:24.519
their dressing room before they were going on.

00:29:24.670 --> 00:29:28.170
just like burst in and fucking like I guess Lars

00:29:28.170 --> 00:29:30.789
was in the corner like jogging in place and like

00:29:30.789 --> 00:29:33.849
stretching and stuff but and uh and apparently

00:29:33.849 --> 00:29:36.470
James was like doing it la la la la la la la

00:29:36.470 --> 00:29:37.849
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:37.849 --> 00:29:39.769
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:39.769 --> 00:29:39.769
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:39.769 --> 00:29:39.769
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:39.769 --> 00:29:39.789
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:39.789 --> 00:29:40.069
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:40.069
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:40.069 --> 00:29:40.150
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:40.150 --> 00:29:40.150
la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

00:29:40.150 --> 00:29:49.779
la la la la la la la la That is awesome. Well,

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:51.799
I've heard cool stories like you guys were a

00:29:51.799 --> 00:29:54.559
cool rock band because Hootie was on Howard Stern

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.359
back in the day and Howard was trying to ask

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:58.579
him for like cool rock and roll stories. And

00:29:58.579 --> 00:30:00.619
he's like, dude, we're not a cool fun band. He's

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:02.900
like, but the guys from alive, dude, apparently

00:30:02.900 --> 00:30:06.119
I think Ed was like drunk naked somewhere like

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:08.259
jump through like bushes naked. Like this is

00:30:08.259 --> 00:30:11.240
Hootie telling a story about you guys. Yeah,

00:30:11.240 --> 00:30:12.980
I was not there that night. That was Chad and

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:15.140
Ed. We're out with Hootie in LA, going to some

00:30:15.140 --> 00:30:18.279
fucking party. That's fucking funny, man. I love

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.460
it. So yeah, Jer and Deirdre, you guys got to

00:30:21.460 --> 00:30:23.579
fucking get drunk and naked on stage and go jump

00:30:23.579 --> 00:30:25.759
through bushes and do rock star stuff. Rock and

00:30:25.759 --> 00:30:29.259
roll. Rock and roll. Where was the where was

00:30:29.259 --> 00:30:32.140
the show last night? That was at Ruckers. Oh,

00:30:32.220 --> 00:30:36.019
Ruckers. Right. Yeah. Yeah. So, how was the crowd?

00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:37.839
You said they were into it. Did you hang with

00:30:37.839 --> 00:30:40.299
them afterwards? Did you talk to them? Did you

00:30:40.299 --> 00:30:42.880
party with them? We were there so late. Yeah,

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:46.319
we were there until like 12, 31 a .m. or something.

00:30:47.700 --> 00:30:50.859
But we finished our... We closed the last song

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:52.819
with the song we just released, Skin & Bones.

00:30:53.259 --> 00:30:55.799
And then they were like, one more song, one more

00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.680
song. And then that kept going on for like...

00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:02.960
four more songs. So we just started taking requests

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:04.900
from them and playing the songs that they wanted

00:31:04.900 --> 00:31:06.920
to hear. Hey, that's that's a great response.

00:31:07.019 --> 00:31:11.720
You like that. Yeah. Yeah. Rock on. So did you

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.059
do you guys do like different setlist for shows?

00:31:14.059 --> 00:31:16.619
Is it or you guys kind of just doing like the

00:31:16.619 --> 00:31:19.720
same couple songs that you do or you switching

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:24.420
it up? We switch it up. I mean, it's the last

00:31:24.420 --> 00:31:27.170
thing. Yeah, it's typically the same songs like

00:31:27.170 --> 00:31:29.450
our original set like our original songs. And

00:31:29.450 --> 00:31:31.470
then we'll mix in a few covers or, you know,

00:31:31.549 --> 00:31:33.589
different things here and there. But last night

00:31:33.589 --> 00:31:36.490
was completely like off the cuff because we were

00:31:36.490 --> 00:31:39.430
we were singing from party in the USA from, you

00:31:39.430 --> 00:31:42.430
know, by Miley Cyrus. Oh, wow. To like sweater

00:31:42.430 --> 00:31:44.910
weather by the neighborhood. And we did I sang

00:31:44.910 --> 00:31:47.630
sublime. There was a bunch of different things

00:31:47.630 --> 00:31:50.759
that we saying it was wild. Yeah. Awesome. Yeah,

00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:52.900
what are these college kids in these into these

00:31:52.900 --> 00:32:01.279
days? No They were into like like good like sublime,

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:06.000
uh, we played nirvana at one point Yes, all 90s

00:32:06.000 --> 00:32:09.160
stuff 2000s too. But yeah, do you play any? I

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:12.700
heard the 90s are coming back I should I think

00:32:12.700 --> 00:32:17.259
so like seriously uh Chad we didn't speak about

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:20.180
this, but Christina Ricci was ripping on fucking

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:24.519
lightning crashes Yeah, I saw that what? Like

00:32:24.519 --> 00:32:27.359
are you kidding me dude? So lightning crashes

00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.839
apparently is in this show yellow jackets or

00:32:29.839 --> 00:32:32.700
something and Coming yeah, they've done the old

00:32:32.700 --> 00:32:34.799
jackets too. I guess it's in one of the scenes.

00:32:35.579 --> 00:32:39.359
I Mean, how do you not like that song man? I

00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:41.380
heard a rumor that she had an ex boyfriend who

00:32:41.380 --> 00:32:43.619
was a big live fan and he broke up with her.

00:32:43.619 --> 00:32:46.920
And so that's why she hates him. Oh, just a rumor.

00:32:46.980 --> 00:32:50.779
I have no idea. That's hysterical. I heard Wednesday's

00:32:50.779 --> 00:32:53.319
piss. I heard the drummer from that band gave

00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.299
her anal never talked to her again. That's what

00:32:55.299 --> 00:32:57.059
I heard. That's why she doesn't like the song.

00:32:57.059 --> 00:32:59.660
I don't know. I never had sex with Wednesday.

00:33:00.539 --> 00:33:03.559
Okay. So it wasn't maybe she was talking about

00:33:03.559 --> 00:33:07.579
Robin Diaz then. I'm sorry. Anyhow, just one

00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:10.880
drummer. That's right. That's right. So what's

00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:12.680
the plan here, though? So do we plan on taking

00:33:12.680 --> 00:33:14.759
Lily's David into the stratosphere? Like, are

00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:18.779
we going to what's the goal? Yeah, definitely

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:21.960
stratosphere, higher, whatever. No, I don't know.

00:33:23.319 --> 00:33:25.700
That's a hard thing to think about. So it's like

00:33:25.700 --> 00:33:27.900
you got to stay balanced and stuff for sure.

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:31.519
Like, I kind of resonate with what Chad said

00:33:31.519 --> 00:33:35.420
about Metallica in a sense, like being like pretty

00:33:35.420 --> 00:33:37.759
kind of like. Zen or like taking it seriously

00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.759
and I'm not drinking too much. Kind of just getting

00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:44.000
my mind right, especially us two as singers,

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:46.220
you know, maybe we'll run some scales or something

00:33:46.220 --> 00:33:48.359
like, you know, just staying balanced because

00:33:48.359 --> 00:33:51.940
then when we do party and stuff, we can enjoy

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:54.500
that and not have to, I don't know, worry about

00:33:54.500 --> 00:33:56.619
we just did the set. So we don't have to sing

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:59.500
now. You know, sure. Yeah. But I guess we take

00:33:59.500 --> 00:34:03.299
it a day at a time. And, you know, definitely

00:34:03.299 --> 00:34:06.190
do our work in terms of like promotion and and

00:34:06.190 --> 00:34:08.250
social media and all that stuff and try to get

00:34:08.250 --> 00:34:10.769
it to as many years as possible. Where that takes

00:34:10.769 --> 00:34:12.730
us, I don't know. That's, you know, up to God,

00:34:12.730 --> 00:34:16.750
I guess. Sure. Deirdre, I heard you I heard you

00:34:16.750 --> 00:34:19.150
do a little bit of liquid courage to get on stage.

00:34:19.250 --> 00:34:25.050
Is that true? Only sometimes I try not to. Does

00:34:25.050 --> 00:34:27.150
it take you? Well, because I guess it could take

00:34:27.150 --> 00:34:30.260
you out of the game or put you in the game. Where

00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:32.880
so what have you have you gotten into the vibe

00:34:32.880 --> 00:34:35.280
yet on stage where you're in the zone? Like it's

00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:37.500
fucking all cylinders are firing and you're like,

00:34:37.539 --> 00:34:39.679
yes, I'm feeling it right now. Have you gotten

00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:43.940
there? Yeah, I definitely have but um, I Feel

00:34:43.940 --> 00:34:45.840
like the more I do it the more consistent it

00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:50.179
will be my stamina will keep up with playing

00:34:50.179 --> 00:34:54.159
However long the show is sure the energy high

00:34:54.159 --> 00:34:59.320
the whole time. Yeah You guys ever think about

00:34:59.320 --> 00:35:02.579
getting some like stage acts like maybe some

00:35:02.579 --> 00:35:07.320
dancers on there or fucking I Look good in a

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.179
tutu. I'm just gonna say voluntary. Yes, sir.

00:35:12.219 --> 00:35:17.699
Yes, sir You're gonna go on the pole buddy. Yeah,

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:23.440
let's go singing on the pole If you lick a quarter,

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:25.980
stick it to my leg. I'm good. That's what I started

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:28.099
doing at strip clubs. No dollars licking quarter

00:35:28.099 --> 00:35:30.059
sticking them to the ladies. That's how you do

00:35:30.059 --> 00:35:36.639
it. At least dollar coins. They're not worth

00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:38.400
it. The last time I went to a strip club, it

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:40.699
was during covid and I caught covid, believe

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:44.300
it or not. Really? From the strip club? Well,

00:35:44.639 --> 00:35:46.340
yeah, from there. So check this out. I go to

00:35:46.340 --> 00:35:49.650
the strip club and. People are walking around

00:35:49.650 --> 00:35:52.150
with Jurgen's bottles, dude. Chicks are walking

00:35:52.150 --> 00:35:54.369
around with Jurgen's bottle. This is during COVID

00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:59.409
-19, the heart of COVID -19. And I'm like, wow.

00:35:59.570 --> 00:36:01.789
I'm like, this is a fucking crazy strip club.

00:36:01.869 --> 00:36:03.449
Like, I didn't realize, like, that was a thing

00:36:03.449 --> 00:36:06.110
to do. You just walk around girls about. Anyway,

00:36:06.269 --> 00:36:08.789
didn't take anybody up on that. But one of the

00:36:08.789 --> 00:36:11.349
gentlemen I was with, he's gone for 10 minutes,

00:36:11.449 --> 00:36:14.860
comes back and he got a little hand sandwich,

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:17.380
if you know what I mean. But anyway, I leave

00:36:17.380 --> 00:36:21.739
in the next day. I caught covid and. Of course,

00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:24.579
like what better place to catch covid, but a

00:36:24.579 --> 00:36:27.139
strip club where you're fucking around people,

00:36:27.340 --> 00:36:30.380
just like in creepy people. Did they did they

00:36:30.380 --> 00:36:34.159
did was that considered one of the essential

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:38.840
essential? They were essential. Were they were

00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.059
they actually kept open, though, because I know

00:36:41.059 --> 00:36:43.179
like like liquor stores were because. People

00:36:43.179 --> 00:36:44.960
could die if they didn't don't have alcohol,

00:36:45.079 --> 00:36:49.960
but we're strip clubs essential. So so Satin

00:36:49.960 --> 00:36:53.840
Dolls, which was in the Sopranos, they had an

00:36:53.840 --> 00:36:56.619
outside strip club that I would drive by on 17

00:36:56.619 --> 00:36:59.119
and you would see they had an outdoor strip club.

00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:01.800
Didn't go there. This one I went to, I feel like

00:37:01.800 --> 00:37:04.800
it was going against the law at the time. Like,

00:37:04.820 --> 00:37:06.420
I feel like they shouldn't have been open, like

00:37:06.420 --> 00:37:08.760
they were not essential, but they considered

00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:12.630
themselves essential. So, yeah, I think they

00:37:12.630 --> 00:37:14.050
were just going against the grain. I don't think

00:37:14.050 --> 00:37:16.489
they were technically essential. Oh, but her

00:37:16.489 --> 00:37:19.809
lives matter. Come on, man. Her lives matter.

00:37:20.070 --> 00:37:23.690
Exactly. But, yeah, I mean, just the next day,

00:37:23.750 --> 00:37:25.409
I'm like, wow, I don't feel good. Went to the

00:37:25.409 --> 00:37:28.989
doctor. Covid, man. And then. But of course,

00:37:29.150 --> 00:37:32.570
right. You're fucking around shady people. Yeah.

00:37:33.489 --> 00:37:36.789
And it was just it was a funny story. I was on

00:37:36.789 --> 00:37:40.679
shrooms. I walk in with a couple of people. I

00:37:40.679 --> 00:37:43.559
had a big wad of money with me. I'll tell the

00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:45.300
story. I had a big wad of money with me. I walk

00:37:45.300 --> 00:37:46.739
in with people. I give it to somebody because

00:37:46.739 --> 00:37:50.400
I'm a little not feeling... I was a little affected

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:52.559
by the shrooms. So I hand somebody my money.

00:37:52.699 --> 00:37:54.139
I'm like, can you hold this? Because I'm not

00:37:54.139 --> 00:37:56.300
in the right mind to be holding onto it. She

00:37:56.300 --> 00:37:59.199
goes, yeah, walks like 10 feet away from me,

00:37:59.199 --> 00:38:02.099
drops the entire stack of cash that I just gave

00:38:02.099 --> 00:38:05.920
her. I'm like, oh, boy, this is not good. Yeah.

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:09.900
But who'd you give it to? I don't know if you

00:38:09.900 --> 00:38:12.380
met her, but my friend Tina. Oh, someone you

00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:15.860
knew. Yes. Yeah. One of the strippers. No. Yeah.

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.360
Hold this strippers. Yeah. If I would have gave

00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:20.659
it the stripper, I probably would have got a

00:38:20.659 --> 00:38:23.360
little handy from the Juergens or something going

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:28.019
on. But, you know, anyway, back to the band.

00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:31.019
Deidre, you should walk around on stage with

00:38:31.019 --> 00:38:35.420
a Juergens bottle is a little a little tip for

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:40.090
you. Yeah. So what's the deal? So are we doing

00:38:40.090 --> 00:38:42.869
just you did covers last night? Is that something

00:38:42.869 --> 00:38:45.889
you guys are diving into or you just want to

00:38:45.889 --> 00:38:50.489
be original musicians? Mostly just originals.

00:38:50.489 --> 00:38:54.610
I mean, we stick a cover or two in our original

00:38:54.610 --> 00:38:58.869
sets just, you know, to kind of give the people

00:38:58.869 --> 00:39:01.210
we like to give a nice mix of like relatable

00:39:01.210 --> 00:39:03.130
content. And then we're also giving you all new

00:39:03.130 --> 00:39:06.710
content because like me. For us right now, shows

00:39:06.710 --> 00:39:09.750
are like strictly like advertising and connecting

00:39:09.750 --> 00:39:11.710
with new audience members and stuff like that.

00:39:12.250 --> 00:39:14.250
So, you know, we definitely like to keep it relatable

00:39:14.250 --> 00:39:16.670
to our genre with the covers that we select,

00:39:17.070 --> 00:39:21.730
but mostly originals for sure. So there's six

00:39:21.730 --> 00:39:24.530
people in the band. That's a fucking what are

00:39:24.530 --> 00:39:26.250
you guys going to do when you go on a real tour?

00:39:26.349 --> 00:39:28.909
You're going to need like a fucking two tour

00:39:28.909 --> 00:39:34.789
buses or something. Yeah Can't wait I because

00:39:34.789 --> 00:39:38.309
I mean and You probably know Chad right like

00:39:38.309 --> 00:39:40.409
before you guys were like signed and playing

00:39:40.409 --> 00:39:43.690
all the big shows and stuff were you did you

00:39:43.690 --> 00:39:49.110
have I guess like tour crew members or Were you

00:39:49.110 --> 00:39:50.969
all lugging it around yourself, especially as

00:39:50.969 --> 00:39:54.670
a drummer, right? Yeah, very early days. Oh,

00:39:54.769 --> 00:39:57.690
my cousin Matt has been with us Matt Gracie has

00:39:57.690 --> 00:40:01.550
been with us as a roadie since we started like

00:40:01.550 --> 00:40:05.090
in high school. Yeah. At least at least one guy.

00:40:05.369 --> 00:40:07.230
And we did have another guy who was a friend,

00:40:07.349 --> 00:40:09.289
just a friend guy from the neighborhood who would

00:40:09.289 --> 00:40:12.449
help us. But, uh, so yeah, we had a couple of

00:40:12.449 --> 00:40:15.369
people helping us. Um, so I didn't have to lug.

00:40:15.610 --> 00:40:17.690
I mean, I, everyone pitched in and helped. So

00:40:17.690 --> 00:40:19.650
I had to move some stuff, but except for the

00:40:19.650 --> 00:40:22.190
singer singer never helps. They just grabbed

00:40:22.190 --> 00:40:24.449
their microphone and like, there we go. We're

00:40:24.449 --> 00:40:27.789
good. Not us. We move. Well, I move stuff right

00:40:27.789 --> 00:40:29.610
now. Deirdre is not allowed to because she actually

00:40:29.610 --> 00:40:32.809
broke her back. So that's why we're talking about

00:40:32.809 --> 00:40:38.469
her jetpack. Is your jetpack on Bing? Yeah. Can

00:40:38.469 --> 00:40:41.110
you show the can we show the audience? Yeah.

00:40:41.110 --> 00:40:43.050
Jetpack like a brace or something? Yeah, looks

00:40:43.050 --> 00:40:52.280
like a jetpack. Oh my. Holy. Spin. Oh, wow. How

00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:54.480
did we do that there dear? Yeah, what happened

00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:58.119
busting out some grooves on stage? Yeah, right

00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:01.920
No, I was I was in Colorado and I got really

00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:07.300
excited snowboarding and I Tried to do this insane

00:41:07.300 --> 00:41:14.820
jump ended up landing on my ass Yeah, well it

00:41:14.820 --> 00:41:17.489
was a little to the right So it wasn't directly

00:41:17.489 --> 00:41:21.110
on my tailbone, but the compression just fractured

00:41:21.110 --> 00:41:27.550
my vertebrae. So are you in pain? It doesn't

00:41:27.550 --> 00:41:30.289
do much. I'm still moving around on stage and

00:41:30.289 --> 00:41:33.389
doing what I have to do. Wow. So you're performing

00:41:33.389 --> 00:41:35.550
with a broken back. Do you let the audience know?

00:41:35.710 --> 00:41:40.210
Like, Hey, I might not be on my game today. Actually,

00:41:40.210 --> 00:41:43.969
I don't think I have this isn't a course. It's

00:41:43.969 --> 00:41:45.789
actually a back brace because I have a broken

00:41:45.789 --> 00:41:48.670
back. That's fucking wow. Well, I do take off

00:41:48.670 --> 00:41:52.190
the brace before I go up, but I thought about

00:41:52.190 --> 00:41:56.510
wearing it up before, but I think too much. I

00:41:56.510 --> 00:41:58.190
really thought would have broken back like you

00:41:58.190 --> 00:42:01.250
might be in a wheelchair or a fucking something.

00:42:01.750 --> 00:42:07.860
I could have been I got lucky, but. My friend,

00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.619
Eric, Eric Martinez, he was on the show, John.

00:42:10.780 --> 00:42:14.400
He broke his neck skiing. Damn. But didn't, obviously

00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.440
he's not paralyzed, but he did. He broke his

00:42:16.440 --> 00:42:17.860
neck. If he didn't have a helmet on, he would

00:42:17.860 --> 00:42:21.280
have been probably dead. Fuck. Yeah, it's dangerous.

00:42:22.340 --> 00:42:23.940
It's very dangerous. This is one reason I've

00:42:23.940 --> 00:42:28.179
never snowboarded or skied. Thank you. Are you

00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:31.960
nervous to get back on a board? No, I'm excited.

00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:35.539
Really? I just won't hit a jump like that ever

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:39.929
again. Yeah, you gotta be careful, man. Yeah.

00:42:40.250 --> 00:42:42.929
Were you in pain immediately? Like, how did that

00:42:42.929 --> 00:42:46.449
come about? Yeah, as soon as it happened, I heard

00:42:46.449 --> 00:42:50.210
the crack and I just laid there and then like

00:42:50.210 --> 00:42:53.929
kind of just nudged myself out of the way so

00:42:53.929 --> 00:42:56.289
nobody would land on me trying the same jump.

00:42:56.550 --> 00:43:00.030
And I laid there for a few minutes and managed

00:43:00.030 --> 00:43:04.429
to get up and ride down to the bottom. Wow. But

00:43:04.429 --> 00:43:10.980
the shock was making me see visual patterns and

00:43:10.980 --> 00:43:13.860
everything. Like it just sent my body into this

00:43:13.860 --> 00:43:16.840
weird state. Wow. I'm going to suggest our key

00:43:16.840 --> 00:43:21.800
man insurance guys. Yeah. Key man? Yeah. If your

00:43:21.800 --> 00:43:24.860
key man dies, you get paid insurance money. There

00:43:24.860 --> 00:43:28.840
you go. I like it. You're taking that policy

00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.260
out too. You can take it out on each other. So

00:43:31.260 --> 00:43:35.889
here you go. Perfect. But yeah, that's crazy.

00:43:35.889 --> 00:43:38.510
You got to fucking be careful there. I know.

00:43:38.510 --> 00:43:40.849
Goodness. And come up with a cooler story. Say

00:43:40.849 --> 00:43:43.170
you got into like a fight with fucking Chuck

00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:46.949
Liddell from UFC and you beat his ass, but he

00:43:46.949 --> 00:43:52.989
got one in on you. Wow. So did they have to helicopter

00:43:52.989 --> 00:43:55.010
you out? Like, did the ambulance come? What happened

00:43:55.010 --> 00:43:58.170
here? They were suggesting me take the ambulance,

00:43:58.250 --> 00:44:04.019
but I didn't. Wow. I had the paramedics check

00:44:04.019 --> 00:44:06.900
me out and everything like that. And I could

00:44:06.900 --> 00:44:11.219
walk. Trooper. I could waddle, really. I was

00:44:11.219 --> 00:44:15.099
walking real slow for a while. So, Joe, were

00:44:15.099 --> 00:44:17.360
you about to fire her from the band after you

00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:20.280
heard this? Well, you're like, fuck, man. No,

00:44:20.280 --> 00:44:25.639
I was I was I was a little angry that she did.

00:44:25.800 --> 00:44:29.099
So after it happened, she went to I thought she

00:44:29.099 --> 00:44:31.809
went to the hospital in Colorado. And I was like,

00:44:31.829 --> 00:44:34.349
all right, good. And then I found out when she

00:44:34.349 --> 00:44:37.469
came back, she's like, oh, she was working her

00:44:37.469 --> 00:44:39.409
nursing shift. And she's like, I think I should

00:44:39.409 --> 00:44:41.230
go get an x -ray or something. I was like, wait,

00:44:41.530 --> 00:44:44.210
you didn't get an x -ray while you were in Colorado?

00:44:44.630 --> 00:44:47.929
Wow. They were taking too long, and I wanted

00:44:47.929 --> 00:44:56.409
to go home. I didn't want to miss out. Then went

00:44:56.409 --> 00:44:58.050
snowboarding again or something. I was like,

00:44:58.070 --> 00:45:03.360
are you kidding me? Yeah. Oh, my God. Bad. Wowzers.

00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:08.840
I know. Ah, so it was almost Lily's without Deirdre.

00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:10.400
It would have been the new name of the band.

00:45:11.699 --> 00:45:15.340
It's the Davids. The Davids. Do we have a replacement?

00:45:15.619 --> 00:45:18.460
God forbid she doesn't heal up and doesn't look

00:45:18.460 --> 00:45:24.159
the same. We have a similar singing. No, doesn't

00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:26.260
look the same. That's good. Yeah. Keep somebody

00:45:26.260 --> 00:45:30.000
on the back burner. Yeah. So they kind of have

00:45:30.000 --> 00:45:32.139
a Fleetwood Mac vibe going. They dated back in

00:45:32.139 --> 00:45:34.239
the day and now they're just singing together

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:38.420
in a band. So understudy. Yeah. Yeah. We need

00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:40.820
we need to find a replacement for Deidre since

00:45:40.820 --> 00:45:44.179
she's going all crazy over there. And I'm not

00:45:44.179 --> 00:45:46.079
going to I'm not going to do it again. Extreme

00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:51.039
sports. Yeah. Get her out. Get her out. So who

00:45:51.039 --> 00:45:54.119
is the songwriter? You guys write music together.

00:45:54.300 --> 00:45:56.239
Is it a solo thing? How does it how does it how

00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:59.969
the songs get written? Mostly together. Yeah,

00:45:59.969 --> 00:46:02.789
but then we'll do our own part on our own. So

00:46:02.789 --> 00:46:06.309
we might Like when I'm alone, I might work on

00:46:06.309 --> 00:46:10.010
one song that's interesting me at the time And

00:46:10.010 --> 00:46:12.969
words might come and then I'll see Jeremy and

00:46:12.969 --> 00:46:16.949
then share it with him and vice versa Yeah, it

00:46:16.949 --> 00:46:21.429
was back and forth Definitely. I mean we we try

00:46:21.429 --> 00:46:25.949
to How do you know how did it work in live did

00:46:26.429 --> 00:46:29.329
Who who wrote most? Oh wait, we can't really

00:46:29.329 --> 00:46:31.869
can we talk about that right now? Absolutely.

00:46:32.349 --> 00:46:36.489
Okay Was it was it like a collective thing as

00:46:36.489 --> 00:46:39.050
a band or did Ed come in with most of the stuff?

00:46:39.070 --> 00:46:42.150
How did that work? Cuz like we're running into

00:46:42.150 --> 00:46:44.909
Not not issues cuz like I said Deirdre and I

00:46:44.909 --> 00:46:47.670
are the primary songwriters here Like nobody

00:46:47.670 --> 00:46:51.150
else has written any of the music in terms of

00:46:51.150 --> 00:46:54.449
melody arrangement, etc you know some of them

00:46:54.449 --> 00:46:56.929
like Some of our band members like want to come

00:46:56.929 --> 00:46:59.429
in and start like they want to, you know, have

00:46:59.429 --> 00:47:01.730
a more collaborative effort on songs. And I think

00:47:01.730 --> 00:47:04.750
that's cool for certain songs. But definitely

00:47:04.750 --> 00:47:08.349
I like that to be the vision of the band as well.

00:47:08.650 --> 00:47:12.050
That's cool. Well, the way it worked a lot is,

00:47:12.130 --> 00:47:13.789
I mean, obviously, Ed always wrote the lyrics

00:47:13.789 --> 00:47:16.429
and melody, but the songs would start with a

00:47:16.429 --> 00:47:18.389
guitar part that Chad brought in or sometimes

00:47:18.389 --> 00:47:22.050
a guitar part that Ed brought in. Sometimes songs

00:47:22.050 --> 00:47:26.309
started with a bass part. And, uh, but we all

00:47:26.309 --> 00:47:29.190
worked the magic of the band was that we all

00:47:29.190 --> 00:47:32.650
worked together mostly on the song. So like maybe

00:47:32.650 --> 00:47:35.250
Ed and Chad will go off and like hone their kind

00:47:35.250 --> 00:47:38.789
of like a guitar idea that he had. And then we'll

00:47:38.789 --> 00:47:40.909
start vamping lyrics and getting a little melody

00:47:40.909 --> 00:47:43.110
scratched together. But then we'd bring it into

00:47:43.110 --> 00:47:45.389
a collective where we'd all sit in a room and

00:47:45.389 --> 00:47:48.630
hash out the arrangements and, and figure out

00:47:48.630 --> 00:47:50.929
the parts and like, oh, we should extend this

00:47:50.929 --> 00:47:53.170
or we should do the bridge longer here. work

00:47:53.170 --> 00:47:58.550
on it that way. So yeah, that was kind of the

00:47:58.550 --> 00:48:01.269
process. And that was the magic for live. That

00:48:01.269 --> 00:48:03.210
was where the magic happened with live. Yeah.

00:48:03.389 --> 00:48:07.230
Were there any like major disagreements in terms

00:48:07.230 --> 00:48:09.369
of where the song should go? And then if so,

00:48:09.369 --> 00:48:12.090
how did you work that through, I guess? Oh, yeah,

00:48:12.110 --> 00:48:13.909
there was, I mean, yeah, there's tons of disagreements

00:48:13.909 --> 00:48:16.730
like, oh, yeah, like, we maybe sometimes we get

00:48:16.730 --> 00:48:18.190
to a point in the song, it's like, well, it's

00:48:18.190 --> 00:48:19.889
not going anywhere. Let's scrap it. And some

00:48:19.889 --> 00:48:21.329
people are like, well, you shouldn't scrap it.

00:48:21.839 --> 00:48:23.920
had a little disagreement. We figured it out.

00:48:24.139 --> 00:48:26.719
There was times when, you know, there might be

00:48:26.719 --> 00:48:29.280
an idea brought in and I just me, I'd be like,

00:48:29.320 --> 00:48:30.980
I don't like that. I don't, I don't feel it.

00:48:30.980 --> 00:48:33.239
So I don't want to do it. And, you know, sometimes

00:48:33.239 --> 00:48:35.940
you had to be a Dick and, uh, that happened a

00:48:35.940 --> 00:48:39.340
lot with me. Chad, you had said at one point

00:48:39.340 --> 00:48:43.079
that basically when you guys knew that what was

00:48:43.079 --> 00:48:45.280
going on like the hair on the back of your neck

00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.219
stood up like all four of you like collectively

00:48:47.219 --> 00:48:50.280
like this is like the it right now like we're

00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:54.420
we're jamming on this song right now which that's

00:48:54.420 --> 00:48:56.239
what how the magic I guess was happening live

00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:58.900
back then they you know they would all four in

00:48:58.900 --> 00:49:02.659
a room and fucking meld it out I would suggest

00:49:02.659 --> 00:49:04.539
just if you want to suggest and with you guys

00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:06.179
since you're the primary songwriters if you want

00:49:06.179 --> 00:49:09.219
to carve out like a set piece of your publishing

00:49:09.219 --> 00:49:11.829
the to give to band members for their contributions

00:49:11.829 --> 00:49:13.469
say like I don't know if you want to cut out

00:49:13.469 --> 00:49:17.889
like 20 20 or 15 or 10 and say if you guys contribute

00:49:17.889 --> 00:49:20.710
you get part of this 10 or whatever that percentage

00:49:20.710 --> 00:49:23.809
you think would be satisfying but that's honestly

00:49:23.809 --> 00:49:27.269
the way that I've been doing it because like

00:49:27.269 --> 00:49:29.389
I said Deirdre and I are the main songwriters

00:49:29.389 --> 00:49:32.090
and we have all the writing credit and publishing

00:49:32.090 --> 00:49:35.929
because we have like you said separate um I I've

00:49:35.929 --> 00:49:38.309
just been giving the band members whether they

00:49:38.919 --> 00:49:40.860
contributed anything or not, I still give them

00:49:40.860 --> 00:49:44.179
like 10 % or something. Yeah, you know, way to

00:49:44.179 --> 00:49:46.659
do it. So makes it inclusive, gives them gives

00:49:46.659 --> 00:49:50.019
them incentive to contribute. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:49:50.300 --> 00:49:54.039
Yeah. I mean, especially since, you know, you

00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:55.380
guys are all working together. I mean, if you're

00:49:55.380 --> 00:49:56.739
bringing the bulk of the song and they're adding

00:49:56.739 --> 00:49:59.199
their parts, I mean, yeah, that's that's definitely

00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:00.900
a cool way to do it because you guys are all

00:50:00.900 --> 00:50:03.289
in it together. Right. I mean, people are doing

00:50:03.289 --> 00:50:05.829
more of the work. So, yeah, I definitely I definitely

00:50:05.829 --> 00:50:07.210
see that. But if they're coming up with their

00:50:07.210 --> 00:50:08.849
parts and stuff, yeah, that's a good way to do

00:50:08.849 --> 00:50:11.449
it. They're getting alive on mental jewelry.

00:50:11.630 --> 00:50:13.889
We split everything 25 percent as far as publishing.

00:50:14.130 --> 00:50:16.469
And then we started changing that in throwing

00:50:16.469 --> 00:50:18.570
copper. We actually had a big blowout while we

00:50:18.570 --> 00:50:22.210
were making throwing copper because Ed had his

00:50:22.210 --> 00:50:23.929
girlfriend at the time and her name, I forget

00:50:23.929 --> 00:50:26.269
her name, was Beth, I think. And she was a singer

00:50:26.269 --> 00:50:28.690
in another band. She started getting in his ear

00:50:28.690 --> 00:50:30.800
about, oh, you know, you're this. you're the

00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:32.559
main songwriter because you do all the lyrics

00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:34.760
and melody and maybe she was right maybe she's

00:50:34.760 --> 00:50:37.440
not but I mean like bands like U2 have always

00:50:37.440 --> 00:50:40.260
split all publishing 25 percent right because

00:50:40.260 --> 00:50:42.920
they're all doing you know contributing and making

00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:45.500
the songs I don't know what's right or wrong

00:50:45.500 --> 00:50:48.260
it's it's kind of worked for live it's it's it

00:50:48.260 --> 00:50:50.880
created a lot of animosity especially between

00:50:50.880 --> 00:50:53.559
Ed and then Chad and it's kind of like I don't

00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:57.239
know my point is figure it out now don't do it

00:50:57.239 --> 00:51:00.909
later yeah because, because I guess the roles

00:51:00.909 --> 00:51:03.429
weren't so clearly defined back in the day. And

00:51:03.429 --> 00:51:05.630
then Chad Taylor's going over there and saying,

00:51:05.909 --> 00:51:07.829
I wrote lightning crashes or I wrote selling

00:51:07.829 --> 00:51:10.050
the drama. And then fucking ed's like, wait a

00:51:10.050 --> 00:51:12.590
second, dude, like, I'm pretty sure I came up

00:51:12.590 --> 00:51:15.610
with those lyrics and melodies. I mean, famously

00:51:15.610 --> 00:51:17.530
even the Beatles had this fucking problem. So,

00:51:17.590 --> 00:51:20.230
you know, what do you know? Yeah. But I think

00:51:20.230 --> 00:51:23.070
bands like Metallica, you two, the bands that

00:51:23.070 --> 00:51:26.130
seem to work well together kind of just, I think

00:51:26.130 --> 00:51:28.349
most of them just split publishing just here

00:51:28.349 --> 00:51:30.250
you go everyone gets a quarter or whatever it

00:51:30.250 --> 00:51:33.369
is down yeah you guys you guys did split sheets

00:51:33.369 --> 00:51:39.190
right split sheets yeah like so like so if if

00:51:39.190 --> 00:51:42.650
you know like let's say on our most recent single

00:51:42.650 --> 00:51:45.610
skin and bones like if i i know the parts that

00:51:45.610 --> 00:51:47.710
i contributed i know the parts george are contributing

00:51:47.710 --> 00:51:51.349
i so on the split sheet we would write exactly

00:51:51.349 --> 00:51:54.429
who contributed what just to document everything

00:51:54.429 --> 00:51:57.130
this way nobody can go back and say i did this

00:51:57.159 --> 00:51:59.139
or I did that. It's because we have it written

00:51:59.139 --> 00:52:01.460
here and everybody signed it anyway. Yeah, I

00:52:01.460 --> 00:52:04.360
think we did. Yeah, that just wasn't familiar

00:52:04.360 --> 00:52:05.940
with that name. We did something like that for

00:52:05.940 --> 00:52:08.219
sure. Not for nothing. I feel like you heard

00:52:08.219 --> 00:52:11.159
me say skin and bones a lot growing up. I feel

00:52:11.159 --> 00:52:13.840
like you stole that from me. So I should have

00:52:13.840 --> 00:52:17.739
some publishing in that just so we're aware.

00:52:18.139 --> 00:52:21.480
Here we go. Chad, I mean, no, you know, come

00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:24.860
on now. No, but yeah, that's smart to kind of

00:52:24.860 --> 00:52:27.280
tackle it early in fucking split sheets and all

00:52:27.280 --> 00:52:30.139
that jazz because you don't want to end up, you

00:52:30.139 --> 00:52:35.159
know, like Chad, would you say like. If you could

00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:38.599
do this all over again, right, your four friends

00:52:38.599 --> 00:52:41.820
from Pennsylvania who start live and then you

00:52:41.820 --> 00:52:44.960
end up here and now you're no longer friends,

00:52:45.260 --> 00:52:49.440
would you have done it the same way again and

00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.539
come up with the same result or would you have

00:52:52.840 --> 00:52:56.420
Not started live and been friends the entire

00:52:56.420 --> 00:53:02.400
time I would still do the band. Yeah, maybe set

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:04.539
different parameters not necessarily on publishing

00:53:04.539 --> 00:53:07.500
because you know, I mean There's part of me that

00:53:07.500 --> 00:53:09.480
agrees with that on the on the publishing side.

00:53:09.519 --> 00:53:11.059
You should get more because he writes a lyrician

00:53:11.059 --> 00:53:13.480
melody I get that that's fine, but there there's

00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:17.550
just there should have been for us We didn't

00:53:17.550 --> 00:53:19.829
have we never had proper management to manage

00:53:19.829 --> 00:53:22.050
all of our personalities together, especially

00:53:22.050 --> 00:53:26.789
the strong ones which are Chad and Ed and What

00:53:26.789 --> 00:53:29.190
happened basically with us is that those two

00:53:29.190 --> 00:53:32.989
started going at it over whatever and There was

00:53:32.989 --> 00:53:34.989
no one there to go. There's no kind of like father

00:53:34.989 --> 00:53:37.389
figure manager to go. Hey dumbasses shut the

00:53:37.389 --> 00:53:40.070
fuck up Yeah, this is the house gonna be stop

00:53:40.070 --> 00:53:42.329
fighting over this bullshit and like just go

00:53:42.329 --> 00:53:46.960
forward and and then also As I've said many times,

00:53:47.460 --> 00:53:49.260
we should have had band therapy so many times.

00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:52.320
It's like, so I would suggest that too, if you

00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:54.219
want it. If you're getting in the tiffs, have

00:53:54.219 --> 00:53:56.599
some mediator that can go work it out with you.

00:53:57.139 --> 00:54:00.480
That's actually great. Because I think to even

00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:02.559
go back to your other point, John, which you

00:54:02.559 --> 00:54:04.500
said before, like, where do we want to be? I

00:54:04.500 --> 00:54:08.840
think a big thing this year, 2025 in particular,

00:54:08.980 --> 00:54:12.760
we want to find good management so that They

00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.519
can set us up for success of of where we're going

00:54:15.519 --> 00:54:17.699
and everything like that, because I think that's

00:54:17.699 --> 00:54:20.019
so important to have, like, good guidance and

00:54:20.019 --> 00:54:23.199
a father figure. Like you said, when, you know,

00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:25.400
personalities clash or there are disagreements

00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:29.000
and stuff like that, just to keep some sort of

00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:31.360
mediation going on and keep everything kind of

00:54:31.360 --> 00:54:33.780
copacetic. That would I agree. I think that that's

00:54:33.780 --> 00:54:35.380
a big thing for us in this year that I'd like

00:54:35.380 --> 00:54:38.420
to accomplish. Well, good manager is key for

00:54:38.420 --> 00:54:41.309
sure. Yeah. Yeah, you need somebody that could

00:54:41.309 --> 00:54:44.730
say, hey, you know, this you're getting a little

00:54:44.730 --> 00:54:46.489
fucking egotistical here. Your head's getting

00:54:46.489 --> 00:54:48.550
a little too big. You guys fucking you need somebody

00:54:48.550 --> 00:54:51.550
to kind of guide you and make sure it's done

00:54:51.550 --> 00:54:54.170
properly. Because if I remember the doors movie

00:54:54.170 --> 00:54:57.630
like that manager trying to get signed the doors

00:54:57.630 --> 00:54:59.610
originally, he was basically telling Jim Morrison,

00:54:59.750 --> 00:55:01.789
like, fuck this band, get rid of them like you're

00:55:01.789 --> 00:55:03.989
the fucking dude. Like so you got to watch out

00:55:03.989 --> 00:55:06.690
for snaky people like that because they will

00:55:06.690 --> 00:55:09.340
try to divide and conquer. And oh, yeah. Yeah.

00:55:10.219 --> 00:55:13.880
And like Chad knows, the magic of live was those

00:55:13.880 --> 00:55:17.199
four guys in a room. And once that division happened,

00:55:17.719 --> 00:55:21.679
that's where the music started to lack. So once,

00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:23.679
yeah, you need somebody to kind of orchestrate

00:55:23.679 --> 00:55:25.900
that and keep you guys fucking on the same page.

00:55:26.239 --> 00:55:29.030
So maybe. He doesn't have the most connections,

00:55:29.070 --> 00:55:31.630
but he's better for your band in that aspect.

00:55:31.869 --> 00:55:33.809
Yeah, our manager, our manager was able to open

00:55:33.809 --> 00:55:35.710
the doors for us and get us a record deal and

00:55:35.710 --> 00:55:37.590
do all those things. And he was good at that,

00:55:37.590 --> 00:55:39.889
but he was not good at managing our personalities

00:55:39.889 --> 00:55:44.329
and like conflict, conflict resolution, controlling

00:55:44.329 --> 00:55:46.829
the egos and like saying, Hey, you know, back

00:55:46.829 --> 00:55:49.250
off with this or stop doing that. It's stupid.

00:55:49.250 --> 00:55:51.269
That was Chris Harden back in the day, Chad.

00:55:51.610 --> 00:55:54.489
No, this was a guy named David Sestek. He was

00:55:54.489 --> 00:55:58.170
very, very key to our success, but just didn't

00:55:58.170 --> 00:56:01.849
lack the, I don't know, lack the skills to manage

00:56:01.849 --> 00:56:05.050
the, the wearables, especially as we, as we were

00:56:05.050 --> 00:56:06.889
taken off. And like this is, he was our manager

00:56:06.889 --> 00:56:10.010
all through the first four records up to, up

00:56:10.010 --> 00:56:12.309
to this year. So that there was a big, you know,

00:56:12.349 --> 00:56:17.130
there was a big, uh, upswing of, of success and

00:56:17.130 --> 00:56:19.429
sure craziness and rock stardom and all that

00:56:19.429 --> 00:56:21.989
good stuff. So I was like, I just wish we had

00:56:21.989 --> 00:56:23.989
someone more powerful and then who took over

00:56:23.989 --> 00:56:26.170
after that just became basically yes, man to

00:56:26.170 --> 00:56:30.550
Ed Chad here's a question Did you notice egos

00:56:30.550 --> 00:56:32.829
growing in the band as the success grew like

00:56:32.829 --> 00:56:36.170
did you see? Because you guys are basically four

00:56:36.170 --> 00:56:38.730
dudes from a small town of Pennsylvania So your

00:56:38.730 --> 00:56:41.550
egos might have been really kind of low at the

00:56:41.550 --> 00:56:43.489
time you guys were coming up in the band but

00:56:43.489 --> 00:56:45.590
then when you got the success did you see egos

00:56:45.590 --> 00:56:49.610
grow and like This is getting on not not a lot

00:56:49.610 --> 00:56:53.250
inwardly like not to us inwardly but outwardly

00:56:53.250 --> 00:56:58.329
you can see it happening. Yeah Yeah Do you Lily's

00:56:58.329 --> 00:57:01.630
a David I'm speaking to you guys have any? inroads

00:57:01.630 --> 00:57:04.329
in there to kind of like that doesn't happen

00:57:04.329 --> 00:57:06.570
you to where you don't let fucking success get

00:57:06.570 --> 00:57:09.849
to your brain and like Kind of forget where you

00:57:09.849 --> 00:57:13.469
came from type of deal Think about those things

00:57:16.539 --> 00:57:21.219
So I haven't come across that issue yet. And

00:57:21.219 --> 00:57:23.139
I think, yeah, I think life always keeps you

00:57:23.139 --> 00:57:26.119
humble, too, in a way. But it's like I think

00:57:26.119 --> 00:57:30.320
about it, to be honest. And I don't know, like

00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:33.639
I think having each other, especially like two

00:57:33.639 --> 00:57:35.880
lead singers and stuff, I think is really good

00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:41.880
to balance us out. I mean, I always because it's

00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.159
a fine line, too, because like I believe in our

00:57:44.159 --> 00:57:47.449
music completely. And what we're doing so like

00:57:47.449 --> 00:57:49.769
some people might say like that's a little egotistical

00:57:49.769 --> 00:57:52.550
in a way But like I believe in it so much like,

00:57:53.010 --> 00:57:54.929
you know, I don't give a fuck what they think

00:57:54.929 --> 00:57:57.130
or say anyway Like I know what's gonna happen,

00:57:57.130 --> 00:58:02.150
you know but I it's not I'm not like going out

00:58:02.150 --> 00:58:03.730
and being like I'm the best or anything like

00:58:03.730 --> 00:58:05.389
that because I'm not saying that but it's just

00:58:05.389 --> 00:58:08.210
like I believe in the music and like No, we'll

00:58:08.210 --> 00:58:13.289
do something. Sure So, you know Yeah, believing

00:58:13.289 --> 00:58:15.030
in yourself and ego, I think are two different

00:58:15.030 --> 00:58:17.030
things. You have to have that part of you. That's

00:58:17.030 --> 00:58:18.570
like, no, this is good. I want to put it out

00:58:18.570 --> 00:58:22.570
to the world. You have to have some of that that

00:58:22.570 --> 00:58:24.909
ego. But I think ego is the wrong word. Just

00:58:24.909 --> 00:58:26.530
belief in yourself. You know what I'm saying?

00:58:26.869 --> 00:58:29.090
And sometimes it comes across as ego. But no,

00:58:29.130 --> 00:58:30.670
you have to have belief in yourself and your

00:58:30.670 --> 00:58:33.010
music and know like you're doing it for the right

00:58:33.010 --> 00:58:35.650
reasons. What are the reasons you're doing music?

00:58:35.670 --> 00:58:38.210
Is it for fame? Is it for money? Like, what are

00:58:38.210 --> 00:58:40.389
you doing? Why? Why are you into music? Go ahead.

00:58:40.510 --> 00:58:45.349
Thank you. Go. I just enjoy it a lot. So I'd

00:58:45.349 --> 00:58:49.949
like to see how far it can go. If we can release

00:58:49.949 --> 00:58:54.429
sing our songs and start to make some money and

00:58:54.429 --> 00:58:57.429
more money from it. That's awesome. But that's

00:58:57.429 --> 00:59:00.389
not the reason why it's not fame. It's not money.

00:59:03.010 --> 00:59:07.460
Yeah, those are byproducts. Where does the most

00:59:07.460 --> 00:59:11.239
joy come from in the music process? Is it performing?

00:59:11.460 --> 00:59:14.559
Is it writing? Is it studio time? I really like

00:59:14.559 --> 00:59:18.440
writing. I think writing's a lot of fun. Yeah,

00:59:18.440 --> 00:59:20.559
I like the writing process as well. I think it's

00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:25.219
the most freeing and open, at least for Geirdra

00:59:25.219 --> 00:59:27.260
and I, too. Like she said, some songs I'll write

00:59:27.260 --> 00:59:29.340
all of it. Some songs she'll have more and then

00:59:29.340 --> 00:59:31.059
we'll come together and do different things.

00:59:31.659 --> 00:59:34.239
And no matter who's doing it and when we're doing

00:59:34.239 --> 00:59:38.349
it, it's always super um freeing and creative

00:59:38.349 --> 00:59:40.690
and it's just like the the music and ideas are

00:59:40.690 --> 00:59:42.809
coming to us and that's always a really nice

00:59:42.809 --> 00:59:47.570
feeling um but i i normally would i normally

00:59:47.570 --> 00:59:51.250
hated performing actually i've actually grown

00:59:51.250 --> 00:59:54.670
to yeah like it more and more now as we do it

00:59:54.670 --> 00:59:57.130
more and more um and then the studio i always

00:59:57.130 --> 00:59:59.409
love since i produce it as well like i've always

00:59:59.409 --> 01:00:03.190
loved the studio and getting in there and you

01:00:03.190 --> 01:00:07.079
know doing our thing What was it about the live

01:00:07.079 --> 01:00:09.159
performance that you didn't like? Was it nerves?

01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:16.019
Was it, what was the, uh, I don't know. Like

01:00:16.019 --> 01:00:19.320
maybe it was a little bit of nerves, but I think

01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:22.539
it, I wanted to make sure that, and I think this

01:00:22.539 --> 01:00:24.219
is something we're still developing too, since

01:00:24.219 --> 01:00:28.760
it's, it's a, you know, I can say a newish band.

01:00:29.460 --> 01:00:32.599
We've been doing stuff for a bit and preparing,

01:00:32.860 --> 01:00:34.880
but we just had our first release, and we have

01:00:34.880 --> 01:00:36.800
all of our releases planned out for the year

01:00:36.800 --> 01:00:41.099
in 2026 and everything. But it's a newish band,

01:00:41.099 --> 01:00:44.079
and I think we're still finding our identities

01:00:44.079 --> 01:00:46.780
becoming more clear. But I think some of the

01:00:46.780 --> 01:00:51.760
nerves came from feeling maybe ingenuine on stage

01:00:51.760 --> 01:00:54.800
or a little bit of imposter syndrome in a way.

01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:58.500
Yeah, you know, like, like, like, how can I go

01:00:58.500 --> 01:01:01.260
up there and smile and, you know, give it like,

01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:03.059
I don't know, I felt like sometimes I would see

01:01:03.059 --> 01:01:04.440
it and be like, oh, that person's faking it.

01:01:04.440 --> 01:01:06.699
And I never wanted to come across that way. You

01:01:06.699 --> 01:01:09.400
know, I wanted to be real genuine and the energy

01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:13.260
be there. And now I'm really feeling that so

01:01:13.260 --> 01:01:15.460
I'm actually enjoying it a lot more. But I think

01:01:15.460 --> 01:01:17.940
it was a bit of that, like, am I supposed to

01:01:17.940 --> 01:01:20.219
be here doing this? You know, that sort of thing.

01:01:22.309 --> 01:01:23.989
Chad, did you ever have any of that? Like when

01:01:23.989 --> 01:01:25.469
you guys were first performing and like, did

01:01:25.469 --> 01:01:27.489
you get nerves when you went up like, or was

01:01:27.489 --> 01:01:29.590
it just like exciting and let's go out there

01:01:29.590 --> 01:01:33.929
and do this? Yeah. Yeah. But, um, I never felt

01:01:33.929 --> 01:01:38.269
like, I never felt like what about like imposter

01:01:38.269 --> 01:01:40.309
syndrome. Never felt that, but you know, everyone's

01:01:40.309 --> 01:01:42.230
different, but definitely nerves. Yeah. I mean,

01:01:42.269 --> 01:01:44.329
you nervous and you were so, you were so young.

01:01:44.989 --> 01:01:48.349
We were teenagers and, um, when we were starting

01:01:48.349 --> 01:01:51.639
and We were doing a lot of covers and we started

01:01:51.639 --> 01:01:55.360
writing originals and bleeding those in and That

01:01:55.360 --> 01:01:57.039
was the most that was kind of the most nervous

01:01:57.039 --> 01:01:58.900
is playing your new songs when you're playing

01:01:58.900 --> 01:02:01.320
a cover set and then you thought Here's one of

01:02:01.320 --> 01:02:04.360
our originals like how that's gonna go over but

01:02:04.360 --> 01:02:07.199
Yeah, but you just gotta go out there and I think

01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:10.159
take it till you make it in that that point Yeah,

01:02:10.159 --> 01:02:12.460
you got that's part of the performing as a professional

01:02:12.460 --> 01:02:14.780
performer. You got to sell it, right? That's

01:02:14.780 --> 01:02:18.400
100 % and it has to every time too no matter

01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:21.219
how and that's something that I think I found

01:02:21.219 --> 01:02:24.300
it actually now but it's like no matter how you're

01:02:24.300 --> 01:02:26.239
feeling especially as singers too like because

01:02:26.239 --> 01:02:29.000
your voice changes every day like you wake up

01:02:29.000 --> 01:02:33.300
and the air might be too fucking cold that you

01:02:33.300 --> 01:02:35.960
slept in and now you're gonna wake up your vocal

01:02:35.960 --> 01:02:37.500
cords are gonna be in a different place so you

01:02:37.500 --> 01:02:39.619
have to calibrate every day and no matter what

01:02:39.619 --> 01:02:41.960
you have to go out no better what you're feeling

01:02:41.960 --> 01:02:44.659
thinking whatever and stay consistent and give

01:02:44.659 --> 01:02:47.159
the audience a good show And so I think that's

01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:49.639
where like you start to separate from doing it

01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:51.880
for fun to this is a professional thing now,

01:02:51.900 --> 01:02:57.820
you know. Yeah. Have you guys gotten to the part

01:02:57.820 --> 01:03:01.079
where you could just let loose on stage and like

01:03:01.079 --> 01:03:03.039
have that fun, like because I'm sure when you

01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:04.940
guys are like practicing wherever you guys practice

01:03:04.940 --> 01:03:06.860
stuff like that, like that's probably where you

01:03:06.860 --> 01:03:08.920
feel kind of free and your vibe is out there

01:03:08.920 --> 01:03:11.929
and stuff. But do you get like on stage where

01:03:11.929 --> 01:03:14.429
you're having fun and just like forget this performance?

01:03:14.449 --> 01:03:16.250
We don't need to be perfect Let's go out there

01:03:16.250 --> 01:03:18.750
and fucking rock and have fun. Are you getting

01:03:18.750 --> 01:03:21.570
that vibes or is it like this is serious performance?

01:03:24.389 --> 01:03:27.050
I would say good. We don't take it serious at

01:03:27.050 --> 01:03:29.210
all. I mean, like, obviously, we want to be good.

01:03:29.230 --> 01:03:30.929
So like, we'll rehearse and stuff. But like,

01:03:31.309 --> 01:03:33.690
you can't have the mind like you can't go in

01:03:33.690 --> 01:03:35.309
there with the mindset of I'm going to fuck this

01:03:35.309 --> 01:03:37.309
up, or I have to sing this high C or something

01:03:37.309 --> 01:03:38.829
like you can't even think about that, because

01:03:38.829 --> 01:03:41.469
then you probably will fuck it up. So like, it's

01:03:41.469 --> 01:03:44.329
live shit happens, go out and have fun. And if

01:03:44.329 --> 01:03:45.889
you're having fun, the audience will likely have

01:03:45.889 --> 01:03:52.599
fun too. Hell yeah. Are you are you guys coordinating

01:03:52.599 --> 01:03:55.840
outfits like the Beatles did and wearing some

01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.239
cool shit we started Yeah, I was gonna say we

01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:07.320
started yeah So now with the With the like social

01:04:07.320 --> 01:04:09.980
media the videos and stuff like that. Is this

01:04:09.980 --> 01:04:12.199
stuff that you guys are part of the creative

01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:14.179
process? Are you putting this on other people?

01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:16.099
How does that come about when you guys are putting

01:04:16.099 --> 01:04:20.630
together a video or? whatever so uh yeah i mean

01:04:20.630 --> 01:04:22.949
we have a great like a really good team right

01:04:22.949 --> 01:04:25.449
now like social media team uh and photographer

01:04:25.449 --> 01:04:28.289
and videographer and stuff and so like we always

01:04:28.289 --> 01:04:31.650
have a uh and i'd say more because Deirdre is

01:04:31.650 --> 01:04:35.269
probably naturally more busy busier than i am

01:04:35.269 --> 01:04:38.369
so i've kind of like stepped into helping with

01:04:38.369 --> 01:04:41.590
the content as well so like we have a say in

01:04:41.590 --> 01:04:43.769
the content and stuff like that but we still

01:04:43.769 --> 01:04:47.440
have somebody posting for us and I have access

01:04:47.440 --> 01:04:49.679
to the socials too. So, you know, if I am commenting

01:04:49.679 --> 01:04:52.320
like, you know, there are some comments that

01:04:52.320 --> 01:04:54.300
come from me and stuff too. So I am interacting

01:04:54.300 --> 01:04:57.500
with people that do like our music, but we do

01:04:57.500 --> 01:04:59.739
have a great like social media team and videographer

01:04:59.739 --> 01:05:02.420
and photographer and stuff. So it's definitely

01:05:02.420 --> 01:05:04.260
starts with Deirdre and I like with the vision

01:05:04.260 --> 01:05:06.980
and then we go out and explain it to them. And,

01:05:07.159 --> 01:05:08.960
you know, they help us execute it and stuff.

01:05:09.199 --> 01:05:15.400
So. Now the name lilies of David it almost seems

01:05:15.400 --> 01:05:19.460
biblical. Is that Any truth to that where we

01:05:19.460 --> 01:05:23.900
come up with the name? Um, we were So there were

01:05:23.900 --> 01:05:28.159
a couple iterations of the of the band the band

01:05:28.159 --> 01:05:32.360
name some really bad ones too, like What were

01:05:32.360 --> 01:05:34.980
some of them being do you remember? Academy Hill

01:05:34.980 --> 01:05:39.179
was one stupid stupid and then Yeah, Academy

01:05:39.179 --> 01:05:43.059
Hill stupid names. I'll give you ours after you

01:05:43.059 --> 01:05:47.440
give me yours. Okay. Academy Hill. I don't remember.

01:05:47.880 --> 01:05:50.920
I think one because I was... You were in a dream

01:05:50.920 --> 01:05:53.619
or something. Abhi might like this one because

01:05:53.619 --> 01:05:56.000
I was really... I mean, I still am into investing

01:05:56.000 --> 01:05:58.420
in crypto, but I think we're going to go with

01:05:58.420 --> 01:06:01.139
Ethereum at one point because I'm a big fan of

01:06:01.139 --> 01:06:04.659
Ethereum. So there were some bad ones in there,

01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.840
but Lilies of David really came organically and...

01:06:08.909 --> 01:06:12.809
And I shared it with Deirdre and she liked it.

01:06:12.829 --> 01:06:16.110
And then the band liked it. And so we kept it.

01:06:16.190 --> 01:06:18.269
And it's been working. And ever since I remember

01:06:18.269 --> 01:06:21.650
the first show, we went out. That was nerve wracking.

01:06:21.789 --> 01:06:25.750
The open mic. Yeah, the open mic. And they said,

01:06:25.889 --> 01:06:28.409
Lilies of David. And I was waiting to feel if

01:06:28.409 --> 01:06:30.829
I felt uncomfortable or not. But it felt right.

01:06:31.710 --> 01:06:34.369
And everybody liked it. So we kept it. You know,

01:06:34.590 --> 01:06:37.670
if you guys, when you guys make it and be famous,

01:06:37.849 --> 01:06:40.750
everyone's gonna call you David. Yeah, they thought

01:06:40.750 --> 01:06:43.329
I was Lily yesterday. Exactly, you're gonna be

01:06:43.329 --> 01:06:45.710
Lily and you're gonna be David. Already happening.

01:06:46.869 --> 01:06:49.389
Just like booty. They're like, what's up, Lily?

01:06:49.489 --> 01:06:53.789
I'm like, nothing. I just rolled with it. Yeah.

01:06:54.349 --> 01:06:57.989
They actually, somebody messaged me too, or messaged

01:06:57.989 --> 01:07:01.510
the Lily's a David account. Or no, was it? Yeah,

01:07:01.510 --> 01:07:03.500
it was the Lily's a David account. And they said,

01:07:03.500 --> 01:07:07.239
um, this is for David, uh, and, and like, continue

01:07:07.239 --> 01:07:09.739
to like, it was something I forget what it was

01:07:09.739 --> 01:07:11.840
PR or something. And we were just like, yep,

01:07:11.980 --> 01:07:16.059
sounds good. It's like, there's no lilies and

01:07:16.059 --> 01:07:22.039
no Davids in this band. Get it right. Uh, so

01:07:22.039 --> 01:07:24.000
what's the plan here? Are you guys going to do,

01:07:24.000 --> 01:07:28.360
uh, like singles, uh, all like before the album

01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:32.469
or you guys plan on, uh, doing. like a full album,

01:07:32.510 --> 01:07:36.210
like what is the the the release schedule or

01:07:36.210 --> 01:07:39.070
whatever? We're doing like a five to six week

01:07:39.070 --> 01:07:41.449
release schedule of singles for twenty twenty

01:07:41.449 --> 01:07:44.690
five and like probably seven singles. And then

01:07:44.690 --> 01:07:47.710
we're going to call many those seven singles

01:07:47.710 --> 01:07:50.750
plus an additional three into a full album for

01:07:50.750 --> 01:07:52.789
the beginning or the end of twenty twenty five.

01:07:52.960 --> 01:07:55.739
So, you know, we have our next release in March,

01:07:55.860 --> 01:07:57.860
and then five to six weeks after that, we'll

01:07:57.860 --> 01:08:00.019
have another single release, single release,

01:08:00.019 --> 01:08:01.980
and then it'll all come into an album at the

01:08:01.980 --> 01:08:04.579
end. And then we'll push that for all of 2026

01:08:04.579 --> 01:08:08.139
or as long as we can. And then we'll be working

01:08:08.139 --> 01:08:12.840
on the new stuff in the meantime, too. But yeah,

01:08:12.900 --> 01:08:16.420
we definitely live in a singles world right now

01:08:16.420 --> 01:08:19.000
in terms of like music, from what I've observed,

01:08:19.079 --> 01:08:23.039
at least. Oh, yeah. Your songs are catchy. I

01:08:23.039 --> 01:08:25.239
mean, I could totally see them. I mean, they

01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:28.039
got commercial value. They got, you know, they

01:08:28.039 --> 01:08:29.939
could I could see him being in movies. I could

01:08:29.939 --> 01:08:32.920
see him being a podcast theme. If you guys want

01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:35.779
to write a theme for us, we're looking as long

01:08:35.779 --> 01:08:38.939
as Chad can drum on it. Yeah, I can play. Sure.

01:08:39.239 --> 01:08:44.739
There we go. I play the piano with my penis like

01:08:44.739 --> 01:08:47.680
President Zelinsky of Ukraine. So if you guys.

01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:50.550
Yes. If you guys want some of that. Uh, let me

01:08:50.550 --> 01:08:53.810
know. I play a good, uh, a good, uh, eenie meenie.

01:08:53.930 --> 01:08:57.489
What did you guys call them? Midget GI Joe? Uh,

01:08:57.829 --> 01:09:04.250
half Mike GI Joe. Oh, crazy world. So do you

01:09:04.250 --> 01:09:07.250
guys get into, uh, politics as a, as a young

01:09:07.250 --> 01:09:09.010
band? Are you staying away from that? What are

01:09:09.010 --> 01:09:12.590
we doing? I would say stay away from that. I'm

01:09:12.590 --> 01:09:15.210
pretty center. I'm pretty good. There you go.

01:09:15.310 --> 01:09:18.420
Good. Good. Good. Nobody wants to hear your politics

01:09:18.420 --> 01:09:21.880
on stage. We'll tell you that now. Either way,

01:09:22.359 --> 01:09:27.859
if you want, get a podcast if you want. Bill

01:09:27.859 --> 01:09:30.920
Hines says you need me on cowbell in the band,

01:09:30.920 --> 01:09:35.020
just so you folks are aware. I'm open. I'll get

01:09:35.020 --> 01:09:40.039
a stripper pole and a cowbell. I'm in. But Jer,

01:09:40.119 --> 01:09:42.880
where did you get into music? Like, did you have

01:09:42.880 --> 01:09:44.920
an influence or something like an older brother

01:09:44.920 --> 01:09:47.199
that maybe got you into guitar or something?

01:09:47.359 --> 01:09:50.159
Like, how did you get into that world? Yeah,

01:09:51.579 --> 01:09:53.720
my manager who robbed me of all our money. Yeah,

01:09:53.720 --> 01:10:00.640
no. That Sanders. Yeah, Tom robbed all my money.

01:10:02.159 --> 01:10:05.460
Yeah, definitely. We actually do have an Uncle

01:10:05.460 --> 01:10:10.800
Tom. He's retarded, but he's dead. Yeah, he's

01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:15.000
dead. By the way. Jokes here, folks. He is dead.

01:10:15.140 --> 01:10:16.939
But I don't know why I'm joking about our dead

01:10:16.939 --> 01:10:20.039
Uncle Tom. Anyway, go ahead. Back to what we're

01:10:20.039 --> 01:10:23.159
talking about. You know, you definitely you you

01:10:23.159 --> 01:10:26.420
were always playing guitar and I definitely liked

01:10:26.420 --> 01:10:30.699
it. And I remember you bought me my first guitar.

01:10:30.939 --> 01:10:33.199
I think there's like a photo somewhere laying

01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:35.439
around too. I was like super excited and happy.

01:10:36.239 --> 01:10:40.239
But yeah, you definitely, I would say even you

01:10:40.239 --> 01:10:43.720
probably were the biggest influence because without

01:10:43.720 --> 01:10:45.739
you playing guitar, getting me into it, I would

01:10:45.739 --> 01:10:47.779
have never found music in this capacity. I've

01:10:47.779 --> 01:10:50.359
always liked listening as an audience member,

01:10:50.579 --> 01:10:52.619
but I would have probably never started writing

01:10:52.619 --> 01:10:55.000
or anything. And I remember when I was doing

01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:56.920
a lot of theater and musical theater and acting

01:10:56.920 --> 01:10:59.520
and stuff, you said, why don't you go into music

01:10:59.520 --> 01:11:01.779
full time. And that was like years before I even

01:11:01.779 --> 01:11:05.680
started Lilies of David. And I was like, no,

01:11:05.779 --> 01:11:07.420
we're not, you know, I'm not good enough in that

01:11:07.420 --> 01:11:09.579
sense. Like, you know, like I just like playing

01:11:09.579 --> 01:11:11.640
it and stuff like that. But if I listen to you

01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:14.539
then we probably even further now, you know what

01:11:14.539 --> 01:11:20.680
I mean? So. Well, it was it's cool, Chad. So

01:11:20.680 --> 01:11:22.399
getting to show my younger brother just like

01:11:22.399 --> 01:11:26.409
some stuff on the guitar and then within. months,

01:11:26.470 --> 01:11:29.149
he was like way better than me at it. So it was

01:11:29.149 --> 01:11:31.149
kind of cool to show him a couple of chords and

01:11:31.149 --> 01:11:33.189
then just watch him progress. And I'm like, oh,

01:11:33.189 --> 01:11:35.270
this shit, this little kid is fucking taken over

01:11:35.270 --> 01:11:39.069
here. So it was cool to see. And he picked it

01:11:39.069 --> 01:11:41.909
up real quick. He was worried like seven, dude,

01:11:41.970 --> 01:11:45.029
when you picked up your first guitar, something

01:11:45.029 --> 01:11:50.010
young man. Yeah, there's like. We have like photos

01:11:50.010 --> 01:11:55.359
like him mad young playing guitar. the good old

01:11:55.359 --> 01:11:58.539
days. Deirdre, how'd you get into music though?

01:11:58.680 --> 01:12:01.319
I actually got a Christmas present too, but it

01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:04.859
was from my mom. She got me a keyboard. So I

01:12:04.859 --> 01:12:07.399
just started noodling around on the keyboard

01:12:07.399 --> 01:12:10.300
and then singing along to it, playing basic chords.

01:12:10.659 --> 01:12:14.140
I just really enjoyed it. So I just kept playing

01:12:14.140 --> 01:12:17.020
around with covering different songs. And then

01:12:17.020 --> 01:12:21.180
I met Jeremy, showed him some things I have recorded.

01:12:21.700 --> 01:12:25.880
And he told me that I should pursue music. And

01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:29.619
that's what got me going. And here we are. She

01:12:29.619 --> 01:12:32.420
was naturally just a good singer too. Like she,

01:12:32.520 --> 01:12:34.939
cause I wasn't expecting it. Like cause we were

01:12:34.939 --> 01:12:37.159
just starting dating at that time and stuff too.

01:12:37.199 --> 01:12:39.159
And she showed me, I was like, holy shit. Like

01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:41.520
you can sit like you, you have good pitch and

01:12:41.520 --> 01:12:44.340
like naturally just really good pitching a good

01:12:44.340 --> 01:12:46.319
ear. I was like, you can sing. You should like

01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:48.460
think about that. And then we started. throughout

01:12:48.460 --> 01:12:50.640
our relationship just started like writing together

01:12:50.640 --> 01:12:52.560
and that's kind of organically how it happened.

01:12:52.819 --> 01:12:56.180
But yeah, she definitely was naturally a good

01:12:56.180 --> 01:12:59.199
singer without any lessons or anything. Very

01:12:59.199 --> 01:13:04.180
cool. Nice. Wow. That is very cool. Yeah. I mean,

01:13:04.619 --> 01:13:07.699
Chad, do you do any singing? I sang backups on

01:13:07.699 --> 01:13:12.760
the first two records. Yeah. Really? I did not

01:13:12.760 --> 01:13:15.930
know that. I was trying to be funny here. Really?

01:13:16.130 --> 01:13:18.029
Before my balls dropped. Get the fuck out of

01:13:18.029 --> 01:13:21.529
here. No, it's like high parts in like Pain Lies

01:13:21.529 --> 01:13:27.069
on Riverside. And it's like if they're all the

01:13:27.069 --> 01:13:31.130
song horse. The high part. Yeah. The high melody

01:13:31.130 --> 01:13:35.930
back up part on that. That's me. Get the fuck

01:13:35.930 --> 01:13:38.710
out of here. How cool. There was a untitled track

01:13:38.710 --> 01:13:42.430
called Horse on Throwing Copper. That was like

01:13:42.430 --> 01:13:44.510
a kind of a country song, right? That's cool.

01:13:46.970 --> 01:13:48.989
Speaking of that chat because it just sparks

01:13:48.989 --> 01:13:52.510
on my brain that was like such a different take

01:13:52.510 --> 01:13:55.569
from all the rest of your music like Where did

01:13:55.569 --> 01:14:01.930
that song come from? I don't even know the practice

01:14:01.930 --> 01:14:04.949
and how even evolved I can't even remember But

01:14:04.949 --> 01:14:07.130
I know I know we were like, oh do we want to

01:14:07.130 --> 01:14:09.369
put like because everyone was doing secret tracks

01:14:09.369 --> 01:14:12.449
at that point on CDs So yeah, it's our secret.

01:14:12.489 --> 01:14:15.159
Yeah, you know, we won't give it a title But

01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:18.460
yeah, I was, I sang backups on the first record

01:14:18.460 --> 01:14:21.220
while we were on tour and we were starting to

01:14:21.220 --> 01:14:25.159
like really get kind of a heavier with the playing

01:14:25.159 --> 01:14:28.560
and Chad started, you know, playing more like

01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.640
a distorted guitar. And we just, at some point

01:14:30.640 --> 01:14:32.819
I was just like, I don't want to, I don't want

01:14:32.819 --> 01:14:35.060
to play drums and saying, I'm, this is like too

01:14:35.060 --> 01:14:40.100
much. Phil Collins over there, bro. Look at you.

01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:46.039
Sue, Sue, Sudia or whatever. Kind of love Phil

01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:48.260
Collins, man. Do can you believe that that's

01:14:48.260 --> 01:14:50.880
a thing that he ruined Genesis? I think he fucking

01:14:50.880 --> 01:14:53.579
added to Genesis. I like me some Phil Collins.

01:14:54.020 --> 01:14:56.859
Am I alone here? I was like Phil Collins. Did

01:14:56.859 --> 01:15:00.979
he ruin Genesis? I never heard that. That's the

01:15:00.979 --> 01:15:03.859
rumor, bro, that he made me want to get rid of

01:15:03.859 --> 01:15:06.020
Gabriel and fucking take it over and do it himself.

01:15:06.239 --> 01:15:10.460
Who knows? That's it. I heard he blew Peter Gabriel

01:15:10.460 --> 01:15:15.550
out of the band anyway. But yeah, so I'm joining

01:15:15.550 --> 01:15:21.909
lilies of David and I'm taking over As a Phil

01:15:21.909 --> 01:15:27.130
Collins style, yeah, baby But so how now do you

01:15:27.130 --> 01:15:30.890
guys have any bands like that you? Unlike that

01:15:30.890 --> 01:15:33.630
you tour with or any friends that you any bands

01:15:33.630 --> 01:15:35.210
that you made friends with or anything like that

01:15:35.210 --> 01:15:37.609
that you could kind of see Maybe put in like

01:15:37.609 --> 01:15:40.350
a little college tour together like you and fucking

01:15:40.350 --> 01:15:43.279
yeah, I don't know. There's like a there's a

01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:46.819
I feel like every band we we meet we just all

01:15:46.819 --> 01:15:49.659
we we like them all you know we haven't ran into

01:15:49.659 --> 01:15:54.079
like any dickheads really yet you know oh you

01:15:54.079 --> 01:15:58.140
will yeah I'm sure but I'm you know we're very

01:15:58.140 --> 01:16:01.600
like I try to keep to myself too I I don't if

01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:04.979
if another band comes up to me and talks great

01:16:04.979 --> 01:16:07.100
but I'm not like going out of my way you know

01:16:07.100 --> 01:16:11.220
just because like I like to protect ourself myself

01:16:11.220 --> 01:16:13.840
and the rest of the band and stuff. So, um, but

01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:16.020
yeah, there's a bunch of like great bands we've

01:16:16.020 --> 01:16:18.260
connected with. And I would love to do like,

01:16:18.260 --> 01:16:21.060
um, and maybe an East coast tour in the fall

01:16:21.060 --> 01:16:24.819
or something with, yeah. You might get to a scenario

01:16:24.819 --> 01:16:27.199
where your crew fucks up the relationship because

01:16:27.199 --> 01:16:31.279
something happened. We, uh, uh, Dave Matthews

01:16:31.279 --> 01:16:36.220
band opened for us back in like 1991 or 92 in

01:16:36.220 --> 01:16:37.939
Richmond, Virginia. They were big in Richmond.

01:16:38.260 --> 01:16:40.340
We for having success with their first record

01:16:40.340 --> 01:16:42.640
and they opened for us and something went down

01:16:42.640 --> 01:16:44.319
with our crews. I still don't even know what

01:16:44.319 --> 01:16:46.180
the fuck happened. They hate us to this day.

01:16:46.340 --> 01:16:50.180
Like, really? Yeah, dude. It's like, wasn't us.

01:16:50.180 --> 01:16:51.659
It was our crew. I don't know what the hell happened.

01:16:51.819 --> 01:16:55.819
But yeah, anyway. Yeah. Two of my favorite bands.

01:16:55.819 --> 01:16:58.659
Fucking Warring. I bet the crew members ending.

01:17:00.020 --> 01:17:04.819
God damn them. But yes, I mean, do you when you

01:17:04.819 --> 01:17:07.930
guys go to these shows like is your music Like,

01:17:07.970 --> 01:17:09.829
are you playing with like hard because I remember

01:17:09.829 --> 01:17:12.050
going back to shows like back in the day and

01:17:12.050 --> 01:17:14.210
like the Jersey music scene, it was like really

01:17:14.210 --> 01:17:18.090
hard, fucking heavy bands like in Jersey, like

01:17:18.090 --> 01:17:21.229
playing. Are you guys finding like similar artists

01:17:21.229 --> 01:17:24.649
on bills that you're doing? Or is it like all

01:17:24.649 --> 01:17:26.630
different types of bands like kind of on the

01:17:26.630 --> 01:17:29.390
way we try to find, you know, bills that fit

01:17:29.390 --> 01:17:31.789
us for sure that we could add something to, you

01:17:31.789 --> 01:17:34.789
know, like because I think that just makes the

01:17:34.789 --> 01:17:38.479
whole experience better if it's kind of If somebody's

01:17:38.479 --> 01:17:41.600
going for all pop rock, which is what we are

01:17:41.600 --> 01:17:44.020
then, you know, great, you know, but we're also

01:17:44.020 --> 01:17:47.680
I think we would stick out if we were on a bill

01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:50.600
with like heavy metal bands or, you know, like,

01:17:50.960 --> 01:17:54.159
I think it would, you know, I don't know, I don't

01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:56.060
I don't want to give somebody something they're

01:17:56.060 --> 01:18:00.750
not looking to listen to, you know. Yeah. Would

01:18:00.750 --> 01:18:03.090
you if let's say you walked into a show, you

01:18:03.090 --> 01:18:04.930
don't know the bands on the bill. You walk in,

01:18:04.989 --> 01:18:07.869
it's like a heavy fucking just heavy crowd. Everybody's

01:18:07.869 --> 01:18:10.170
wearing black. Do you have any songs you could

01:18:10.170 --> 01:18:12.949
pull out where you're like raw, raw, raw, raw,

01:18:12.949 --> 01:18:15.050
raw, raw? You know, like, can you get some of

01:18:15.050 --> 01:18:20.130
those heavy, heavy, heavy jams? Yeah, maybe not

01:18:20.130 --> 01:18:22.550
me. I can't I can't really do the screamo yell

01:18:22.550 --> 01:18:24.590
type stuff. The best, the heaviest I can get

01:18:24.590 --> 01:18:27.329
is like Nirvana, like Kurt Cobain distortion.

01:18:27.529 --> 01:18:30.619
That's the heaviest I can get. Vocally. That

01:18:30.619 --> 01:18:34.100
was a limp this. Yeah, people were asking us

01:18:34.100 --> 01:18:36.380
to play Limp Bizkit last night. I was like, dude,

01:18:36.439 --> 01:18:39.319
I've never I was like, I've listened to one Limp

01:18:39.319 --> 01:18:42.180
Bizkit song and it was them covering behind the

01:18:42.180 --> 01:18:45.840
lines. No, I'm covering. Was it the who? Right.

01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:50.500
We did it all for the nookie. Yeah, the nookie.

01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:54.319
Come on, the nookie and stick it up. Yeah, stick

01:18:54.319 --> 01:18:57.720
it up. Yeah. Fred Thurman, that guy. Got a lot

01:18:57.720 --> 01:19:01.319
of vagina. I think he was a he was a banging

01:19:01.319 --> 01:19:06.100
the ladies. God bless him. He did it all for

01:19:06.100 --> 01:19:10.380
the nookie is right. Yeah, but it's got to be

01:19:10.380 --> 01:19:12.560
fun up there, though. I mean, getting out performing.

01:19:12.939 --> 01:19:17.739
Do you do you guys like I'm trying to think like

01:19:17.739 --> 01:19:20.670
what you could do to. get rid of the nerves.

01:19:20.670 --> 01:19:22.729
Chad, like, is there is there some kind of thing

01:19:22.729 --> 01:19:25.430
they could do, like maybe smelling salts or something

01:19:25.430 --> 01:19:28.430
they could sniff before to get rid of the smell?

01:19:28.630 --> 01:19:31.270
I've heard of them. Yeah, I've heard like a new

01:19:31.270 --> 01:19:33.449
thing is bubbling under like smelling salts.

01:19:33.630 --> 01:19:37.229
It is. Yeah, I don't. I mean, I don't know. Like

01:19:37.229 --> 01:19:40.329
I said, I would just maybe be nervous before

01:19:40.329 --> 01:19:42.729
the show and I would sit down like first note,

01:19:42.909 --> 01:19:44.529
my nerves just go away because I was like into

01:19:44.529 --> 01:19:47.590
the zone. So yeah, I don't know what place to

01:19:47.590 --> 01:19:53.279
get for that. No, no installs I Think we're in

01:19:53.279 --> 01:19:55.500
a pretty good flow right now with terms of nerves

01:19:55.500 --> 01:19:58.560
like I I haven't really it's been pretty Excitement

01:19:58.560 --> 01:20:02.119
for me and I think think to year two like I've

01:20:02.119 --> 01:20:04.000
definitely seen her come a long way with the

01:20:04.000 --> 01:20:06.180
nerves as well So I don't know where I think

01:20:06.180 --> 01:20:08.699
we're doing good in that aspect I will tell you

01:20:08.699 --> 01:20:13.760
this the last show that I was nervous for This

01:20:13.760 --> 01:20:17.670
was funny, but I I somehow got responsible with

01:20:17.670 --> 01:20:22.270
bringing the drum equipment. So the to the game

01:20:22.270 --> 01:20:25.149
for Karen, because I don't we filled in we were

01:20:25.149 --> 01:20:27.289
opening for this band called American Aquarium

01:20:27.289 --> 01:20:29.829
at House of Independence. And we got asked to

01:20:29.829 --> 01:20:31.970
join the bill like pretty late on like probably

01:20:31.970 --> 01:20:35.010
a week out. And so I just told the band like,

01:20:35.170 --> 01:20:36.729
Hey, I think we should do this. It's a good band

01:20:36.729 --> 01:20:40.750
to like, to play for and meet and connect with

01:20:40.750 --> 01:20:43.340
and they're like, cool. So we did it. But everybody

01:20:43.340 --> 01:20:45.399
was coming from work and stuff. So Derek was

01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:47.359
like, Can you bring my drum stuff? And I was

01:20:47.359 --> 01:20:49.140
like, Yeah, sure. And I was like, still packing

01:20:49.140 --> 01:20:51.239
up all my guitar stuff. I have our in ear rack

01:20:51.239 --> 01:20:53.659
and everything else that I'm bringing. And I

01:20:53.659 --> 01:20:56.159
forgot, what did I forget? Think I forgot his

01:20:56.159 --> 01:21:03.000
kick pedal. I forgot his boy snare drum. I forgot

01:21:03.000 --> 01:21:06.260
I think like a rack tom or something too. So

01:21:06.260 --> 01:21:08.760
I get there. I'm like, wait, this is like three

01:21:08.760 --> 01:21:11.399
pieces of the drum set. and we go on I thought

01:21:11.399 --> 01:21:13.279
we're going on at seven so I thought Derek would

01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.659
have enough time to to get the the drum equipment

01:21:16.659 --> 01:21:17.960
and then they're like by the way guys you're

01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:21.180
on at 6 30 and it was six o 'clock at that point

01:21:21.180 --> 01:21:23.840
I was like holy fuck I was like we're not I was

01:21:23.840 --> 01:21:26.439
freaking out so we went to guitar center luckily

01:21:26.439 --> 01:21:29.279
it was 10 minutes away and we were able to rent

01:21:29.279 --> 01:21:34.039
everything in time Wow, I was shitting my pants

01:21:34.039 --> 01:21:37.479
and we have it all The videographer thought it

01:21:37.479 --> 01:21:39.680
was yeah for all you guys I was stressing the

01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.039
fuck out they were videotaping everything before

01:21:42.039 --> 01:21:45.979
too. So yeah That's great. That's good content

01:21:48.810 --> 01:21:52.649
Not only did I help my brother by showing him

01:21:52.649 --> 01:21:54.630
a couple of chords on the guitar, but I also

01:21:54.630 --> 01:21:59.350
was able to hire him at one point to work for

01:21:59.350 --> 01:22:03.029
this company that I had ran at one point. And

01:22:03.029 --> 01:22:07.130
since he is the brother of the owner, he didn't

01:22:07.130 --> 01:22:12.189
have to go in on time. So he figured out how

01:22:12.189 --> 01:22:17.050
to go late all the time. So he's a late person.

01:22:17.449 --> 01:22:19.390
Every every time he goes anywhere, he's always

01:22:19.390 --> 01:22:21.590
like a couple of minutes. Not for the band gigs,

01:22:21.590 --> 01:22:23.890
though. I've been pretty I'm pretty responsible

01:22:23.890 --> 01:22:26.250
with with that stuff. I think I've outgrown that

01:22:26.250 --> 01:22:28.329
a little bit just because like, you know, you

01:22:28.329 --> 01:22:31.470
have if you're late to that, I mean, I don't

01:22:31.470 --> 01:22:34.109
know what happens at that point. Right. You're

01:22:34.109 --> 01:22:36.390
earlier on time. That's right. On time, you're

01:22:36.390 --> 01:22:41.130
late. Yep. Dude, those I used to hate hearing

01:22:41.130 --> 01:22:44.229
that from fucking bosses. If you're fucking early,

01:22:44.350 --> 01:22:46.590
you're on time. If you're on time, you're late.

01:22:46.869 --> 01:22:50.869
You do pretty sure. You probably said that to

01:22:50.869 --> 01:22:54.890
me a few times at Gorilla Babes. Yeah, probably,

01:22:55.350 --> 01:23:00.989
probably. But yes, all exciting time. So that's

01:23:00.989 --> 01:23:02.590
the deal. So we're going to do seven singles,

01:23:02.649 --> 01:23:04.729
man. That's a lot of singles. How many did we

01:23:04.729 --> 01:23:07.270
have on throwing copper, Chad? How many singles?

01:23:07.750 --> 01:23:10.939
Oh, yeah, three. And then all over you became

01:23:10.939 --> 01:23:13.119
kind of de facto for single. We didn't officially

01:23:13.119 --> 01:23:18.359
put it out. So three, three official. Wow. I

01:23:18.359 --> 01:23:19.800
feel like that should have been a single. That

01:23:19.800 --> 01:23:22.939
was a radio. Simultaneously, like all across

01:23:22.939 --> 01:23:24.579
the country started playing it after lightning

01:23:24.579 --> 01:23:27.220
crashes. Just kind of picked up. We didn't officially

01:23:27.220 --> 01:23:29.000
put it out and we didn't make a video for it.

01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:32.960
But anyway, three singles. You guys were signed

01:23:32.960 --> 01:23:35.699
on that, though, right? Unthrown copper. Yeah,

01:23:35.699 --> 01:23:37.539
we were signed from our first record, mental

01:23:37.539 --> 01:23:40.020
jewelry. Yeah, we signed. We signed in 91, our

01:23:40.020 --> 01:23:43.180
first. We signed in 91, made a record in summer

01:23:43.180 --> 01:23:45.800
91. The first single came out in November of

01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:49.020
91. The record came out in New Year's Eve 91.

01:23:49.800 --> 01:23:55.319
Yeah, so Chad told a cool story. So I guess it

01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:57.939
was 94. They were on like a tour or something,

01:23:57.939 --> 01:23:59.880
and then they came back and like they were kind

01:23:59.880 --> 01:24:01.960
of in a touring bubble. Like he didn't realize

01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:05.439
like how big the band had gotten. After touring

01:24:05.439 --> 01:24:10.640
for Thorin Copper. Yeah. And then Chad goes back

01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:12.739
to like York, Pennsylvania for a family party

01:24:12.739 --> 01:24:14.979
and like his cousins are asking him for autographs

01:24:14.979 --> 01:24:17.380
and shit. And he's like, Oh, it was worse than

01:24:17.380 --> 01:24:20.500
that. Like it was the, it was Christmas. This

01:24:20.500 --> 01:24:23.619
is a Christmas party that my mom's cousin has

01:24:23.619 --> 01:24:27.220
had every year. I still go to it now, but every

01:24:27.220 --> 01:24:29.460
year they have a Christmas Eve party. And I had

01:24:29.460 --> 01:24:32.420
been to that thing like many, many times at that

01:24:32.420 --> 01:24:35.779
point. I think I was 24 or 24 years, basically

01:24:35.779 --> 01:24:38.550
going to the same Christmas party. Christmas

01:24:38.550 --> 01:24:43.029
Eve, and I get there, and there's a bunch of

01:24:43.029 --> 01:24:44.609
other new people. I'm like, who the fuck are

01:24:44.609 --> 01:24:47.270
all these people? And it's all of my cousins,

01:24:47.649 --> 01:24:51.510
my great cousins' friends. And they put me, they

01:24:51.510 --> 01:24:53.430
cornered me in this back room, and I'm just like,

01:24:53.510 --> 01:24:55.390
what the fuck is going on? And they're all like,

01:24:55.649 --> 01:24:57.310
autographs and taking pictures. And I was like,

01:24:57.390 --> 01:25:00.770
hey, I'm still the same guy that was here last

01:25:00.770 --> 01:25:02.430
year. I just came here for some ham and some

01:25:02.430 --> 01:25:06.590
cookies. You know? That's when I kind of like,

01:25:06.590 --> 01:25:09.630
oh, shit, we're like, we're huge. OK, got it.

01:25:10.470 --> 01:25:13.710
Let's see. Jared, I don't know if you know this,

01:25:13.970 --> 01:25:16.470
but Aunt Renee's ex -husband, we have an Uncle

01:25:16.470 --> 01:25:21.510
Nick and his daughter knew you guys, Chad, from

01:25:21.510 --> 01:25:23.229
I think she went to school with you guys from

01:25:23.229 --> 01:25:25.130
York, Pennsylvania. Do you know what I'm talking

01:25:25.130 --> 01:25:27.550
about, Jared? Uncle Nick, Aunt Renee's ex -husband?

01:25:27.670 --> 01:25:29.350
Yeah, I know Uncle Nick. I don't know his daughter,

01:25:29.489 --> 01:25:32.989
though. He has a daughter do I don't know if

01:25:32.989 --> 01:25:34.750
she was fucking with me or something because

01:25:34.750 --> 01:25:37.149
as a kid like I had liked you guys you like you

01:25:37.149 --> 01:25:39.810
were one of my favorite bands and she told me

01:25:39.810 --> 01:25:42.289
that she knew you guys like hung out with you

01:25:42.289 --> 01:25:44.770
and blah blah blah blah blah and to this day,

01:25:44.850 --> 01:25:46.909
I don't know if she was fucking with me and lied

01:25:46.909 --> 01:25:49.550
to me, but I Don't know. I'm gonna have to figure

01:25:49.550 --> 01:25:51.850
that out. I'm gonna I'll be able to find that

01:25:51.850 --> 01:25:57.630
out different high schools together. I love it.

01:25:57.649 --> 01:26:00.090
But she seemed legit, dude. So I'm going to ask

01:26:00.090 --> 01:26:03.369
Aunt Renee what Uncle Nick's daughter's name

01:26:03.369 --> 01:26:06.250
was, because I don't even remember. But I remember

01:26:06.250 --> 01:26:08.569
as a kid, I'm like, no fucking way you know those

01:26:08.569 --> 01:26:14.489
guys. And I gave you the name. It's like somebody

01:26:14.489 --> 01:26:19.949
commented on Michelle D 'Ambrosia. Oh, there

01:26:19.949 --> 01:26:23.390
it is, Michelle D 'Ambrosia. Who said that? That

01:26:23.390 --> 01:26:26.350
is. Oh, mom. That is the name, Michelle D 'Ambrosio.

01:26:26.409 --> 01:26:27.590
Do you know that name, Chad? It's not ringing

01:26:27.590 --> 01:26:30.029
a bell, but it could have been someone, you know,

01:26:30.109 --> 01:26:32.170
maybe Chad or Ed Newer or Patrick. I don't know,

01:26:32.229 --> 01:26:36.270
but that doesn't ring a bell to me. She lied,

01:26:36.270 --> 01:26:38.310
bro. I'm not saying she lied. I've been saying,

01:26:38.310 --> 01:26:40.470
I don't know. I don't recognize the name. I might

01:26:40.470 --> 01:26:46.270
recognize your face. I don't know. She wasn't

01:26:46.270 --> 01:26:49.149
much to look at. I'll just say that. Sorry, Uncle

01:26:49.149 --> 01:26:53.880
Nick. Anywho. Uh, she wasn't related by blood.

01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:56.279
She wasn't, you know, she was marriage. She was

01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.960
marriage family, uh, and no longer part of it.

01:26:59.960 --> 01:27:03.680
Anyway, so back to the regular scheduled programming.

01:27:04.020 --> 01:27:05.939
So you guys played last night. I think you have

01:27:05.939 --> 01:27:10.199
a gig. What tomorrow? Oh, no, we have no tomorrow's

01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:12.520
content day. We have to shoot a bunch of content

01:27:12.520 --> 01:27:16.119
with the band. That's a thing now. We have days

01:27:16.119 --> 01:27:19.119
where we have to shoot content for social media.

01:27:19.159 --> 01:27:23.899
Everybody together. Oh, boy. Yeah. Yeah, it's

01:27:23.899 --> 01:27:25.819
coming to that time now. I didn't even think

01:27:25.819 --> 01:27:28.399
about that band. You got to have all the characters

01:27:28.399 --> 01:27:31.000
there. Hey, if you need somebody to fill in,

01:27:31.100 --> 01:27:34.880
I could be a fucking Derek for, you know, a day

01:27:34.880 --> 01:27:37.720
or I could wear a deer drove a different people

01:27:37.720 --> 01:27:41.100
and see if anyone recognizes. We should be funny.

01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:44.520
That was Blues Traveler, right? That was their

01:27:44.520 --> 01:27:47.420
first video. That was the the theme behind it.

01:27:47.420 --> 01:27:49.500
They were doing like a Wizard of Oz thing where

01:27:49.689 --> 01:27:52.369
Blue Traveler was like playing behind the curtain

01:27:52.369 --> 01:27:54.449
and like some sexy band was playing in front

01:27:54.449 --> 01:27:57.649
of the curtain because John Popper is a big old

01:27:57.649 --> 01:28:00.310
dude. What a fucking harmonica player, dude.

01:28:00.369 --> 01:28:03.189
Not not for nothing, not to like switch gears

01:28:03.189 --> 01:28:05.810
here, but I've never heard anybody rock a harmonica

01:28:05.810 --> 01:28:08.970
like John Popper. We tore with them as wild to

01:28:08.970 --> 01:28:14.010
watch in person. Wow. And he's huge, bro. Like,

01:28:14.149 --> 01:28:16.229
where the fuck? I can't believe he has that breath.

01:28:16.329 --> 01:28:18.390
Like I've figured he got a stomach staple to

01:28:18.390 --> 01:28:22.829
eat through it. I know somebody who did that.

01:28:22.890 --> 01:28:25.850
I'm not mentioning names, Chad, but this is crazy.

01:28:25.869 --> 01:28:28.189
So I know a girl who went through that procedure,

01:28:28.189 --> 01:28:33.409
right? Stomach staple and then had to get the

01:28:33.409 --> 01:28:39.109
extra skin cut off of the belly. And she asked

01:28:39.109 --> 01:28:42.569
me after the surgery, she showed me the scar

01:28:42.569 --> 01:28:46.229
and said, like, what does this look like? And

01:28:46.229 --> 01:28:49.609
when I saw it, dude, it looked like Frankenstein.

01:28:49.710 --> 01:28:52.550
Like it was the creepiest scar I've ever seen.

01:28:52.590 --> 01:28:56.930
It was jagged huge all along the belly. And she

01:28:56.930 --> 01:28:58.890
asked me what it looked like. I don't know how

01:28:58.890 --> 01:29:01.029
to say like, that looks horrible. You should

01:29:01.029 --> 01:29:03.909
get your money back. I was like, it looks good.

01:29:03.949 --> 01:29:06.250
I don't know what to tell. You know, but it was

01:29:06.250 --> 01:29:09.170
bad, dude. Like it looked like a science experiment.

01:29:11.329 --> 01:29:16.199
And not. Yeah, not to go a step further, but

01:29:16.199 --> 01:29:20.319
one of my friends went to sleep with her after

01:29:20.319 --> 01:29:23.420
this happened and left the room after he saw

01:29:23.420 --> 01:29:31.239
it. But anyway, yeah, it was that scar. Yeah,

01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:33.960
that's when you don't lick the quarter and stick

01:29:33.960 --> 01:29:37.699
it. You tell her to get away, man. Hey, now.

01:29:38.079 --> 01:29:40.000
But yeah, I don't know why I brought that up,

01:29:40.000 --> 01:29:42.760
but always good times to bring that up. Anyway.

01:29:44.700 --> 01:29:48.399
Hey now, where'd that go? So, yeah, so that's

01:29:48.399 --> 01:29:50.640
the plan. So seven singles, that's a lot. Are

01:29:50.640 --> 01:29:54.420
you going to try to get the... Do you want your

01:29:54.420 --> 01:29:55.920
music to be commercialized? Because I know a

01:29:55.920 --> 01:29:58.319
lot of bands maybe don't want their songs in

01:29:58.319 --> 01:29:59.880
commercials. I know that was a thing back in

01:29:59.880 --> 01:30:01.439
the day. Rock stars were like, I don't want to

01:30:01.439 --> 01:30:04.960
sell my songs to commercials. Are you guys against

01:30:04.960 --> 01:30:08.640
that? No. Not against it. I mean, we write...

01:30:08.640 --> 01:30:11.520
No, don't be against it. Yeah, we write pop music.

01:30:11.739 --> 01:30:14.760
I mean, it's... you know, we're not breaking

01:30:14.760 --> 01:30:18.720
any boundaries here, really. I mean, yeah, we'll

01:30:18.720 --> 01:30:21.220
do like some cool like, we'll add our own spin

01:30:21.220 --> 01:30:23.779
to it and like some sort of modulation or something.

01:30:23.779 --> 01:30:26.619
But it's pretty straightforward. The music nowadays

01:30:26.619 --> 01:30:28.880
like what they're producing. So yeah, we don't

01:30:28.880 --> 01:30:31.340
mind being in commercials and all that stuff.

01:30:31.420 --> 01:30:34.960
That'd be cool. Yeah. Yeah, I think. Yeah. Fuck

01:30:34.960 --> 01:30:39.569
yeah. Don't be too cool for school Chad actually

01:30:39.569 --> 01:30:41.810
what like his so you remember Nirvana back in

01:30:41.810 --> 01:30:43.310
the day? They would be like we don't want to

01:30:43.310 --> 01:30:45.390
be rock stars We don't want to be in interviews,

01:30:45.390 --> 01:30:47.930
but yet they did every interview that came their

01:30:47.930 --> 01:30:51.250
way so live was I think he was bullshitting to

01:30:51.250 --> 01:30:59.529
be honest Live actually took that attitude and

01:30:59.529 --> 01:31:01.829
didn't want to do interviews if I if I remember

01:31:01.829 --> 01:31:03.649
correctly like you guys were really like we just

01:31:03.649 --> 01:31:05.890
want to play music we're not really even into

01:31:06.709 --> 01:31:09.989
Yeah, also our record company president at the

01:31:09.989 --> 01:31:13.770
time, he hated magazines. And so he wouldn't

01:31:13.770 --> 01:31:16.229
let us, we were offered to cover Rolling Stone

01:31:16.229 --> 01:31:19.789
many times in like 94, 95, and we didn't take

01:31:19.789 --> 01:31:22.750
it. He told us not to, we're like, whatever,

01:31:23.170 --> 01:31:27.970
stupid, should have just done it. Yeah. Luckily

01:31:27.970 --> 01:31:31.510
you were Rolling Stones. That's why we took it,

01:31:31.529 --> 01:31:33.270
because he was like, okay, the fans voted for

01:31:33.270 --> 01:31:35.510
this. This is Gary Kerferson. We're like, okay,

01:31:35.550 --> 01:31:38.010
yeah, but we missed a lot of opportunities, whatever.

01:31:38.350 --> 01:31:40.729
Could you have done it? Could you have gone against

01:31:40.729 --> 01:31:43.609
him and done it anyway? We could have, yeah.

01:31:45.590 --> 01:31:49.229
Yeah, but you kind of listened to your manager,

01:31:49.329 --> 01:31:50.890
and what a fucking moment. Well, he was the president

01:31:50.890 --> 01:31:52.949
of the other record label, so he had a little

01:31:52.949 --> 01:31:55.750
sway over, like, oh, if you do that, I'm going

01:31:55.750 --> 01:31:57.470
to cut off tour support, whatever he could have

01:31:57.470 --> 01:32:03.699
said. Yeah. What an idiot. I'll tell you guys,

01:32:03.840 --> 01:32:06.140
do everything. Do gay porn, put your music. I

01:32:06.140 --> 01:32:08.520
don't know about gay porn, but do all press.

01:32:08.779 --> 01:32:13.979
Fuck it. Do it all. Yeah. What do they say? There's

01:32:13.979 --> 01:32:17.180
no press or bad press. There's no bad press.

01:32:17.420 --> 01:32:19.060
Any press is good press. Something like that.

01:32:19.420 --> 01:32:25.039
Yep. Yeah, I agree. Uh, I even say, like, make

01:32:25.039 --> 01:32:27.859
up fake things like, uh, Jesse, Jussie Smollett.

01:32:28.300 --> 01:32:30.560
And, uh, you guys know that? Jussie Smollett?

01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:33.819
Chad, you know that guy? Do I know him? No, but

01:32:33.819 --> 01:32:37.039
I know the story. I went to high school with

01:32:37.039 --> 01:32:39.979
him. Oh, you really did? He was in my... I swear

01:32:39.979 --> 01:32:42.819
to God. And I didn't know... Yeah. Uh, Michael

01:32:42.819 --> 01:32:46.819
DeBarge, Jeremy, he was friends with, uh, Jussie.

01:32:47.180 --> 01:32:50.109
And he was like... interviewed at the time. Like,

01:32:50.170 --> 01:32:55.869
what a fucking weird dude. Yeah, juicy. Oh, is

01:32:55.869 --> 01:32:59.310
that what it is? That's what he called him when

01:32:59.310 --> 01:33:04.069
he fucking told the story. Yeah, exactly. But

01:33:04.069 --> 01:33:08.470
my God. Yeah, that was bad press. And that was

01:33:08.470 --> 01:33:10.329
not good press. I think it was with the jail.

01:33:10.329 --> 01:33:15.779
Yeah. Not good. No. Yeah. No. What lie can we

01:33:15.779 --> 01:33:17.399
come up with, though, to get you guys in the

01:33:17.399 --> 01:33:22.939
limelight, though? Let's think about this. Deirdre

01:33:22.939 --> 01:33:27.079
killed her father. That's a good one. I don't

01:33:27.079 --> 01:33:31.720
see, I don't see the captain. He's a boat driver.

01:33:34.220 --> 01:33:36.739
Let him know. You have to fake your death. When

01:33:36.739 --> 01:33:43.460
is the... He would understand. Hey. Hey, he can

01:33:43.460 --> 01:33:47.739
get me my yacht. I was gonna say he wants. So,

01:33:47.739 --> 01:33:53.300
yeah, he's got to work for the gracious yacht.

01:33:53.859 --> 01:33:55.920
Deirdre will let you work the stripper pole on

01:33:55.920 --> 01:34:00.100
the gracious shot. Yes, we will. So the skin

01:34:00.100 --> 01:34:03.619
and bones came out when a couple days ago last

01:34:03.619 --> 01:34:10.630
week. Yep. Yep. February 7th. Yeah. Rock on.

01:34:10.789 --> 01:34:14.050
Have we have we heard any critiques from it?

01:34:14.050 --> 01:34:16.369
I mean, not have you had any critics, not not

01:34:16.369 --> 01:34:19.430
fans, but any critics who were like, oh, well,

01:34:19.449 --> 01:34:20.869
if I would have wrote this, I would have done

01:34:20.869 --> 01:34:26.710
it this way. Anybody fucking me yet? Yeah, I

01:34:26.710 --> 01:34:30.170
heard any like good. Yeah, no, I haven't heard

01:34:30.170 --> 01:34:34.250
like bad critique. Yeah, I haven't. No, I don't.

01:34:34.329 --> 01:34:36.909
I mean, it's it's what sitting around like 10K

01:34:36.909 --> 01:34:40.510
streams only like, I don't know, like It's it's

01:34:40.510 --> 01:34:42.810
rock. I don't think it's gotten into enough years

01:34:42.810 --> 01:34:45.170
for people to be like, I could have done this

01:34:45.170 --> 01:34:49.810
better or something, you know. Well, I could

01:34:49.810 --> 01:34:53.970
have done it better. Just just say no, it's a

01:34:53.970 --> 01:34:55.970
it's a cool song. I mean, I've gotten to hear

01:34:55.970 --> 01:34:57.970
some of the other songs that are coming out.

01:34:58.350 --> 01:35:01.050
I'm excited. I really am to see what you guys

01:35:01.050 --> 01:35:03.670
are going to do. Lilies of David, a South Jersey

01:35:03.670 --> 01:35:10.000

when is the next show? Oh, I believe. Yeah, I

01:35:22.739 --> 01:35:26.539
just I think in March 16th, I think I don't even

01:35:26.539 --> 01:35:29.119
I stopped once it's booked. I just put it in

01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:33.420
a calendar and I let my my yeah, I let my app

01:35:33.420 --> 01:35:37.000
remind me when it is. But I believe it's a way

01:35:37.000 --> 01:35:40.220
to be. I told you, Chad, he'll be late. He will

01:35:40.220 --> 01:35:45.560
be late to that gig. But that's good. So Skin

01:35:45.560 --> 01:35:48.260

01:36:39.310 --> 01:36:42.109
screen and let's let the audience hear a little.

01:36:42.329 --> 01:36:44.729
I think we played it once on here, Chad, didn't

01:36:44.729 --> 01:36:47.850
we? Yeah, we played something. I don't know if

01:36:47.850 --> 01:36:49.590
it's that song because I didn't know what the

01:36:49.590 --> 01:36:53.869
title was. So it could be. All right. So I got

01:36:53.869 --> 01:37:00.109
here. But yeah, it's it's fun. All right. Hold

01:37:00.109 --> 01:37:05.029
on a second here. I am working the board, folks.

01:37:05.810 --> 01:37:10.289
Let's see if I know how to do it. Share screen,

01:37:10.670 --> 01:37:15.850
share this. Boom shakalaka. Lilies of David,

01:37:15.850 --> 01:37:18.369
get ready. This is cool. This is the video. Watch

01:37:18.369 --> 01:37:33.060
a little bit. You got sound. So muscle just to

01:37:33.060 --> 01:39:11.380
be with somebody Yeah! That's the do you want

01:39:11.380 --> 01:39:14.960
to take them out and get rid of them and show

01:39:14.960 --> 01:39:19.800
them a really terrific job? Come on Skin and

01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:22.600
bones by lilies of David right there folks. So

01:39:22.600 --> 01:39:24.960
how did you guys come up with that? That video

01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:27.819
concept that's pretty cool. Um, it's Jeremy's

01:39:27.819 --> 01:39:30.399
idea. Yeah, I wanted to like do something like

01:39:30.399 --> 01:39:33.340
kind of Because it's the first single we're releasing

01:39:33.340 --> 01:39:36.880
so I wanted to be like Like bringing you into

01:39:36.880 --> 01:39:38.560
our world kind of thing. That's why I'm showing

01:39:38.560 --> 01:39:40.689
like snippets of like who we are, what we're

01:39:40.689 --> 01:39:43.289
doing, working in the studio, backseat, you know,

01:39:43.369 --> 01:39:45.710
B -roll type stuff. But I also wanted like I

01:39:45.710 --> 01:39:49.590
had this idea of like of like that that like

01:39:49.590 --> 01:39:52.289
90s composition pad that kind of like not that

01:39:52.289 --> 01:39:54.270
this song sounds like the 90s because it obviously

01:39:54.270 --> 01:39:59.270
sounds like modern pop kind of music. But it

01:39:59.270 --> 01:40:02.069
kind of the guitar tone was a bit 90s. And so

01:40:02.069 --> 01:40:03.430
I was like, all right, like maybe we could take

01:40:03.430 --> 01:40:05.649
the composition book and then like do like a

01:40:05.649 --> 01:40:07.989
stop motion thing and keep it all under a certain

01:40:07.989 --> 01:40:10.430
budget as well, because obviously that's concern.

01:40:10.430 --> 01:40:13.270
So like we did, we had Deirdre, who also is an

01:40:13.270 --> 01:40:17.670
artist, draw all the, um, the, the, the lyrics

01:40:17.670 --> 01:40:19.930
for the, the video, cause we wanted to emphasize

01:40:19.930 --> 01:40:23.689
the lyrics as well. So, um, she wrote down each

01:40:23.689 --> 01:40:25.630
thing. We stopped the picture of each letter

01:40:25.630 --> 01:40:27.949
and then we put it into like a stop motion thing.

01:40:28.750 --> 01:40:31.890
So, yeah. Pretty cool. It's cool. It came out

01:40:31.890 --> 01:40:35.189
really great. Thank you. Where, where, where'd

01:40:35.189 --> 01:40:40.270
you guys film those beach scenes? It was actually

01:40:40.270 --> 01:40:44.029
freezing that day. It was, it was, we did that

01:40:44.029 --> 01:40:47.670
in, was it December bank? January, December.

01:40:48.010 --> 01:40:52.250
It was cold. It was really cold. Under 30 degrees.

01:40:52.430 --> 01:40:53.810
No, it couldn't have been under 30 degrees. I

01:40:53.810 --> 01:40:56.289
was like, it was cold. Yeah. People like, what

01:40:56.289 --> 01:41:00.750
are you guys doing? Yeah. Wow. So I'm guessing

01:41:00.750 --> 01:41:03.890
no permits for that. Then you might owe the township

01:41:03.890 --> 01:41:10.800
some money. Yeah, they didn't catch you But that's

01:41:10.800 --> 01:41:12.260
cool. You're doing some rebel shit. Then did

01:41:12.260 --> 01:41:14.500
anybody know everybody's supportive and they're

01:41:14.500 --> 01:41:15.880

I'm excited for you guys. Is the is the plan

01:41:53.239 --> 01:41:57.680
here to take this? We said to this would the

01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:00.500
would the ultimate goal just to be like. touring

01:42:00.500 --> 01:42:03.319
musicians, making a comfortable living, just

01:42:03.319 --> 01:42:06.060
enough to pay the bills. Is that like, would

01:42:06.060 --> 01:42:09.039
that be enough of the goal? Yeah, definitely

01:42:09.039 --> 01:42:12.760
able to travel and get paid and play music while

01:42:12.760 --> 01:42:17.439
we do it. Yeah, I just want to afford a few dirt

01:42:17.439 --> 01:42:19.979
bikes. That's what I'm in it for. I just want

01:42:19.979 --> 01:42:24.600
to go. I want to end a yacht. All right. She's

01:42:24.600 --> 01:42:28.699
got aspirations. I like it. Yeah. Yeah. Dirtbikes,

01:42:28.840 --> 01:42:30.760
you could probably afford that now. So, yeah,

01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:35.220
go for the yacht. Look for the yacht. And then

01:42:35.220 --> 01:42:38.899
I'll be podcasting from underneath the, you know,

01:42:39.199 --> 01:42:44.460
the water. Yeah, so that's exciting. So what's

01:42:44.460 --> 01:42:47.600
the plan? So college tour, I'm telling you, that's

01:42:47.600 --> 01:42:50.220
a good idea. Good avenue. You guys are starting

01:42:50.220 --> 01:42:52.460
to get into. So Rutgers was the first one we

01:42:52.460 --> 01:42:56.029
played. You guys went to Stockton, right, Deirdre?

01:42:56.029 --> 01:42:57.949
You were there, too? I think so. No, I didn't

01:42:57.949 --> 01:43:02.289
go to Stockton. Oh, never mind. Maybe you got

01:43:02.289 --> 01:43:05.590
some old friends there that want to have you

01:43:05.590 --> 01:43:08.649
guys play some some shows. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I

01:43:08.649 --> 01:43:12.189
think there's I think the college shows are kind

01:43:12.189 --> 01:43:14.470
of like unlimited. I think that's, you know,

01:43:14.529 --> 01:43:16.550
to book and stuff. You just have to know the

01:43:16.550 --> 01:43:18.649
right person. But yeah, I think that would be

01:43:18.649 --> 01:43:22.119
a good thing to always do. Yeah, it's a good

01:43:22.119 --> 01:43:26.159
circuit to do. Yeah, until we can't. Yeah. What

01:43:26.159 --> 01:43:28.920
is if people want to book you, where can they

01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:32.380
where can they go to? Is there like a social

01:43:32.380 --> 01:43:35.699
media site or anything like that? We have a website,

01:43:36.640 --> 01:43:40.460
Lily's of David dot org. And I believe the booking

01:43:40.460 --> 01:43:44.539
information is on there. But also they could

01:43:44.539 --> 01:43:49.199
email us at the person that handles it at Lily's.

01:43:49.449 --> 01:43:53.750
Lilies of David at gmail .com rock on. Yeah.

01:43:53.810 --> 01:43:56.829
Um, so is that, is that the deal? I think what

01:43:56.829 --> 01:43:58.949
would you say, Chad? The most important part

01:43:58.949 --> 01:44:01.649
of, uh, trying to get your band out there is

01:44:01.649 --> 01:44:03.810
the touring part. Like what, what do you, what

01:44:03.810 --> 01:44:05.890
would you say like, as far as getting the music

01:44:05.890 --> 01:44:11.489
out? Oh, it's touring for sure. Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely.

01:44:11.970 --> 01:44:15.130
Anything right? Birthday parties, fucking bowling

01:44:15.130 --> 01:44:18.050
alleys, wherever. Yeah. Many gigs as you can

01:44:18.050 --> 01:44:23.430
get in front of faces. Yep. Yep. Hey, I'll hire

01:44:23.430 --> 01:44:26.430
at the Manahawking bowling lanes. I could see

01:44:26.430 --> 01:44:28.710
you guys rocking that place out there. I like

01:44:28.710 --> 01:44:31.289
that place. I was just there. We shot some content

01:44:31.289 --> 01:44:33.829
there. It's fun. I haven't been there in a while,

01:44:33.829 --> 01:44:37.170
but yeah. Good old bowling lanes, man. I bowled

01:44:37.170 --> 01:44:42.829
the 300 one time. Nintendo Wii, but Nintendo.

01:44:43.329 --> 01:44:45.779
All right. All right, Monson, take it easy. It

01:44:45.779 --> 01:44:50.880
came out. All right, let's bring on Bobby. Well,

01:44:51.100 --> 01:44:58.039

01:45:09.760 --> 01:45:12.479
up, Bobby? I was I was looking. How are you doing,

01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:15.039
Jeremy? I was I was I was just thinking about

01:45:15.039 --> 01:45:16.819
how you said that you were going to release the

01:45:16.819 --> 01:45:19.539
album on my birthday. And I was like, wow. Yeah.

01:45:19.779 --> 01:45:23.439
February 7th. Yeah. Yeah. We did it. They did

01:45:23.439 --> 01:45:27.239
it. Came and went. That's what the single is

01:45:27.239 --> 01:45:31.199
about. Bobby Skin and Bones. I was also I was.

01:45:31.439 --> 01:45:34.220
What do you mean? Skin and bones. More than you

01:45:34.220 --> 01:45:40.130
do. Yes, you do. All right. I was going to. What

01:45:40.130 --> 01:45:42.270
was I gonna say? I was gonna say you guys sound

01:45:42.270 --> 01:45:44.989
like great. You sound like the best music I've

01:45:44.989 --> 01:45:48.949
heard since the 90s, probably. Damn. 90s was

01:45:48.949 --> 01:45:53.890
one of the last great eras of music, I think.

01:45:54.069 --> 01:45:56.550
After that, music has gone to shit. There's no

01:45:56.550 --> 01:45:59.770
creativity. Nothing is terrible. You guys sound

01:45:59.770 --> 01:46:02.500
great, though. You really do. Bobby before the

01:46:02.500 --> 01:46:04.640
show said that you guys were better than a band

01:46:04.640 --> 01:46:07.079
called live. I don't know who he's talking about

01:46:07.079 --> 01:46:14.840
but I Was looking at the comments and somebody's

01:46:14.840 --> 01:46:17.100
like putting up like their what's up account

01:46:17.100 --> 01:46:19.640
I'm trying to figure out who this is. Oh boy

01:46:19.640 --> 01:46:22.859
posting in our comments there. What's that? Oh,

01:46:22.859 --> 01:46:26.279
I see that. Let's show it on the screen anyway

01:46:29.100 --> 01:46:32.199
Listen, I got something I want to show you. This

01:46:32.199 --> 01:46:34.699
is a girl that I know. Her name's Stephanie Locke.

01:46:35.260 --> 01:46:38.859
This is one of her photos. Be scared. Be scared,

01:46:38.939 --> 01:46:42.220
people. Be scared. America's favorite photos.

01:46:42.220 --> 01:46:45.439
If you want to vote for it, you know, vote for

01:46:45.439 --> 01:46:48.159
her. Give her a number one. Make her number one.

01:46:48.439 --> 01:46:52.939
Let's see. This is one of her photos. Oh, so

01:46:52.939 --> 01:47:00.489
adorable. What's her name? I don't know the cast

01:47:00.489 --> 01:47:02.369
name. I don't know the cast name. I don't know

01:47:02.369 --> 01:47:04.810
her cast name. She was just telling me about

01:47:04.810 --> 01:47:10.109
the photo page. Hey, Bobby, you have any any

01:47:10.109 --> 01:47:13.489
stories for them? Success stories like what should

01:47:13.489 --> 01:47:17.409
they do to make? I think I think they're doing

01:47:17.409 --> 01:47:19.149
everything that they should be doing. I think

01:47:19.149 --> 01:47:22.289
they're doing great. I really do. I mean, you're

01:47:22.289 --> 01:47:24.810
doing everything they could be doing. You heard

01:47:24.810 --> 01:47:27.350
it here, folks. I don't see what else they could

01:47:27.350 --> 01:47:30.779
be doing. They're doing perfect. Bobby says they're

01:47:30.779 --> 01:47:33.619
doing perfect. And I believe them. You guys believe

01:47:33.619 --> 01:47:35.960
them. That's the most important part. The thing

01:47:35.960 --> 01:47:38.340
about the management, the thing about getting

01:47:38.340 --> 01:47:40.619
the management early is probably the best thing

01:47:40.619 --> 01:47:43.539
that you need to do is you need to focus on as

01:47:43.539 --> 01:47:46.180
a management. But otherwise, everything else

01:47:46.180 --> 01:47:49.399
is top notch, bro. Everything. What do you say,

01:47:49.560 --> 01:47:51.380
Bobby? I love the music. I really love the music.

01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:54.880
Have me be their manager. I take 90. They take

01:47:54.880 --> 01:48:26.010
10. the fifth I know this wannabe comedian. He's

01:48:26.010 --> 01:48:30.109
pretty good though. He's good. He's pretty good.

01:48:31.329 --> 01:48:34.970
He had a good idea the other day. I posted a

01:48:34.970 --> 01:48:38.989
video about it. Was it the earth was flat? Did

01:48:38.989 --> 01:48:43.770
he think that? No, it was your idea about that

01:48:43.770 --> 01:48:47.229
we might be in a simulation and it started when

01:48:47.229 --> 01:48:49.109
the pyramids were created. I just want to bring

01:48:49.109 --> 01:48:51.500
this picture up again. Bobby, don't let them

01:48:51.500 --> 01:48:53.899
into our world here, dude. They can't know this

01:48:53.899 --> 01:48:56.920
stuff. This is the inside track. This is a circle

01:48:56.920 --> 01:49:00.640
of life. This is a circle of life. This is our

01:49:00.640 --> 01:49:03.760
circle of life. Yes. It kind of makes sense,

01:49:04.699 --> 01:49:07.420
really. Wait, Bobby, the I do think that we were

01:49:07.420 --> 01:49:11.000
bringing up the circle of trust and where you're

01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:13.500
on the outside of it. Bring up that picture.

01:49:14.819 --> 01:49:20.000
The circle of trust picture. All right, fucker.

01:49:20.090 --> 01:49:22.829
And the circle jerk picture that that we want

01:49:22.829 --> 01:49:26.989
there. Anyway, Bobby, let them know the latest

01:49:26.989 --> 01:49:30.810
conspiracy and what to stay away from, according

01:49:30.810 --> 01:49:35.510
to you. What to stay away from fucking everything

01:49:35.510 --> 01:49:38.750
that everything the mainstream media pushes,

01:49:39.130 --> 01:49:43.409
anything that's that's normalized pretty much.

01:49:44.219 --> 01:49:47.220
You have to be your own person. You cannot follow

01:49:47.220 --> 01:49:49.359
any crowd if you follow any crowd You're gonna

01:49:49.359 --> 01:49:52.039
follow them to your death. You are that's the

01:49:52.039 --> 01:49:56.479
truth. Should we? Who started you on President

01:49:56.479 --> 01:50:00.180
Zelensky's or President Putin's Bobby? Putin

01:50:00.180 --> 01:50:03.420
Putin yes, you heard it. I've always I've always

01:50:03.420 --> 01:50:05.420
said that I liked pool and I've always liked

01:50:05.420 --> 01:50:08.340
pool and I said that we should be Allies with

01:50:08.340 --> 01:50:11.880
Russia from the day one Bobby said that for years

01:50:12.119 --> 01:50:15.500
Bobby said earlier that we should start World

01:50:15.500 --> 01:50:18.760
War Three, us, Russia and China versus the world.

01:50:18.819 --> 01:50:24.340
Right, Bobby? Well, you know, I don't know. I

01:50:24.340 --> 01:50:26.739
don't know if we should start World War Three.

01:50:26.899 --> 01:50:29.359
I mean, they're pushing for it, but I really

01:50:29.359 --> 01:50:31.000
don't think we should start. Do you think we

01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:34.060
should skip World War Three and go to World War

01:50:34.060 --> 01:50:37.000
Four? I mean, you know, there are plans for a

01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:39.380
World War Three. There are plans and they've

01:50:39.380 --> 01:50:41.659
been written down. If you look up Albert Pike,

01:50:41.779 --> 01:50:44.500
he wrote all world war or world war one, world

01:50:44.500 --> 01:50:47.920
war two and world war three. Exactly how they

01:50:47.920 --> 01:50:50.539
were going to happen. Just look up Albert Pike.

01:50:50.920 --> 01:50:53.579
I heard that we don't know how world war three

01:50:53.579 --> 01:50:57.020
will be fought, but we know world war four would

01:50:57.020 --> 01:50:59.460
be fought with sticks and bones. Sticks and stones.

01:50:59.699 --> 01:51:03.460
There it is. Sticks and stones. Albert Einstein

01:51:03.460 --> 01:51:08.180
said that. A equals MC squared. He helped make

01:51:08.180 --> 01:51:09.979
the bomb, Bobby. What are we going to do about

01:51:09.979 --> 01:51:13.699
that? It's out of the bag, Bobby Oppenheimer.

01:51:13.800 --> 01:51:19.199
What are we going to do? Go up in higher quoted

01:51:19.199 --> 01:51:21.840
the bag of the Gita. So he believes that I think

01:51:21.840 --> 01:51:24.520
he believed that we were we were we were already

01:51:24.520 --> 01:51:27.479
at an advanced civilization at one point and

01:51:27.479 --> 01:51:30.060
we got wiped out by our own technology. I think

01:51:30.060 --> 01:51:32.720
we were, too. I think that we've been through

01:51:32.720 --> 01:51:36.010
many research. Bobby, is it true that you are

01:51:36.010 --> 01:51:41.970
an alien? Go. No. Is it true that I am an alien?

01:51:43.090 --> 01:51:46.750
I don't know. Is it? I don't think so. Is it

01:51:46.750 --> 01:51:51.670
true that the earth is round? This is a question

01:51:51.670 --> 01:51:54.850
that I'm still debating. Lily's debating it.

01:51:55.069 --> 01:51:57.050
What do you think? I'm glad to hear you're debating

01:51:57.050 --> 01:51:59.770
it, at least. That's good. Yes. He's coming around,

01:51:59.970 --> 01:52:03.119
Chad. Lily's I've always been I've always been

01:52:03.119 --> 01:52:06.479
half, you know half a half But more side is leaning

01:52:06.479 --> 01:52:09.119
towards it not being what NASA is definitely

01:52:09.119 --> 01:52:12.979
saying. It's not what NASA's telling people What

01:52:12.979 --> 01:52:15.720
do you get 40 billion dollars a year to do nothing?

01:52:16.840 --> 01:52:18.760
That's like one of the biggest money laundering

01:52:18.760 --> 01:52:21.159
operations that the United States has running

01:52:21.159 --> 01:52:23.520
I do think Doge should look into it for sure.

01:52:23.739 --> 01:52:29.430
Absolutely. Not kidding. I agree but Can Elon

01:52:29.430 --> 01:52:34.170
go to Mars if we're in a firmament? I don't think

01:52:34.170 --> 01:52:36.590
anything can pierce the firmament. I don't think

01:52:36.590 --> 01:52:39.069
we can pierce the firmament. Bobby showed the

01:52:39.069 --> 01:52:42.010
video here last week, folks. I don't know if

01:52:42.010 --> 01:52:44.229
you saw it was totally real where that rocket

01:52:44.229 --> 01:52:46.350
was going up into space and it got stuck into

01:52:46.350 --> 01:52:49.050
the gel and couldn't move. I don't know if you

01:52:49.050 --> 01:52:53.029
saw it. It seems like it's more a thicker kind

01:52:53.029 --> 01:52:57.319
of layer like that's above us. Maybe it's not

01:52:57.319 --> 01:53:01.119
so thick that we're meteors and comets can pass

01:53:01.119 --> 01:53:03.880
through it. But it's like some kind of layer

01:53:03.880 --> 01:53:06.140
that we can't get past it. I don't think we could

01:53:06.140 --> 01:53:08.819
pass it. We can't get past the Van Allen belts.

01:53:09.020 --> 01:53:12.119
We can't get past that. What about that space

01:53:12.119 --> 01:53:14.159
station up there? What's that doing up there?

01:53:14.460 --> 01:53:17.560
Is that astronauts, the astronauts that are stuck

01:53:17.560 --> 01:53:20.640
there? Are they not there? I don't think so.

01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:23.439
I don't think so either, actually. I think it's

01:53:23.439 --> 01:53:28.170
all a PR plan. But how crazy was that? I don't

01:53:28.170 --> 01:53:31.609
know if you folks watched, but there are people

01:53:31.609 --> 01:53:35.449
stuck in space. And the reason why they're not

01:53:35.449 --> 01:53:38.510
back on Earth is because of the Biden administration

01:53:38.510 --> 01:53:42.090
pulling fucking politics. Did anybody catch that

01:53:42.090 --> 01:53:46.069
from? Yeah, that's crazy. They didn't want him

01:53:46.069 --> 01:53:48.350
to go get him before the before the election.

01:53:48.430 --> 01:53:52.390
Yeah. What the fuck, man. And Bobby, do you believe

01:53:52.390 --> 01:53:55.960
that? Can you believe that? I can believe Biden

01:53:55.960 --> 01:53:59.760
did the worst job I've ever seen in my life.

01:54:00.140 --> 01:54:03.939
I can't even call him president. No, but what

01:54:03.939 --> 01:54:08.380
about the astronauts stuck out in space now that

01:54:08.380 --> 01:54:11.340
can't get home? Are they lying to us about them

01:54:11.340 --> 01:54:14.600
and they're not? Probably. Probably. I would

01:54:14.600 --> 01:54:18.619
say so. Most, most, most, most, most things are

01:54:18.619 --> 01:54:21.779
to create control. People's emotions. Nine 11

01:54:21.779 --> 01:54:26.020
was to create a huge negative emotional rift.

01:54:26.020 --> 01:54:29.500
I believe you on that tower seven road tower

01:54:29.500 --> 01:54:32.800
seven didn't fall on its own. You know that.

01:54:32.800 --> 01:54:35.779
Yeah, exactly. I mean, it's like people don't

01:54:35.779 --> 01:54:37.520
look into things hard enough. I mean, you could

01:54:37.520 --> 01:54:40.859
look at the airplane, all the airplane stocks

01:54:40.859 --> 01:54:43.729
that they were short selling, you don't short

01:54:43.729 --> 01:54:46.329
sell airplane stocks, airlines are doing they

01:54:46.329 --> 01:54:49.930
were doing the best at that time. You don't short

01:54:49.930 --> 01:54:51.909
sell unless you know something negative is going

01:54:51.909 --> 01:54:55.729
to happen. You don't hear buildings two months

01:54:55.729 --> 01:54:59.729
before they're destroyed for two separate terrorist

01:54:59.729 --> 01:55:04.329
attacks. It's just crazy. Hey, I love to do all

01:55:04.329 --> 01:55:07.350
this. I gotta go make dinner for kids. So yes,

01:55:07.890 --> 01:55:10.229
I gotta go. Thank you, folks. Lilies of David,

01:55:10.229 --> 01:55:12.170
you were awesome. Thank you for coming on the

01:55:12.170 --> 01:55:15.109
podcast. Bobby, thank you for bringing this to

01:55:15.109 --> 01:55:20.350
a final close. And now we know for once and for

01:55:20.350 --> 01:55:25.470
all, the world is a vampire. The world is a vampire.

01:55:25.670 --> 01:55:28.670
That's for real. The earth is flat. Bobby, say

01:55:28.670 --> 01:55:30.350
goodbye to the audience. Let them know that the

01:55:30.350 --> 01:55:33.810
earth is round. Go ahead, Bobby. Goodbye, audience.

01:55:34.170 --> 01:55:36.920
I'm still I'm still out on that. All right. The

01:55:36.920 --> 01:55:39.699
one and only Bobby, folks. God bless you guys.

01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:43.079
Keep going. And Lilies of David, let the audience

01:55:43.079 --> 01:55:45.100
know where they could catch you on social media,

01:55:45.119 --> 01:55:47.479
where they could listen to your single and all

01:55:47.479 --> 01:55:52.560

some more music. and go check them out in concert.

on. Thank you very much. Thank you. What do you

01:56:15.289 --> 01:56:16.850
think, Chad? We'll have them do a little acoustic

01:56:16.850 --> 01:56:20.250
performance next time? Absolutely. Why not? Maybe

01:56:20.250 --> 01:56:23.729
break out some bongos. I'll play the piano with

01:56:23.729 --> 01:56:26.550
my penis like Zelensky did back in the day. Cowbell.

01:56:26.949 --> 01:56:30.649
That's right. Gracious audience. We love you.

01:56:30.890 --> 01:56:33.560
We thank you for coming on this journey. We will

01:56:33.560 --> 01:56:36.260
catch you folks on the flip side. We'll see you

Tuesday at 1 p .m.
