By way of introduction, this 56 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:18,399 is a film about trickery and Robert about lies. You don't talk about Napolio 57 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:24,399 Judaiza. It's about Elidia hell Me Elmer. Who is Elmia? That question 58 00:09:24,519 --> 00:09:28,799 has yet to be answered with any real precision. Can I kiss you? 59 00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:35,039 Truth? Someone? Everybody wants to me in the world, the jet setters, 60 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,840 among us, beautiful people. Everybody knows el Me. But tell me 61 00:09:37,879 --> 00:09:43,200 of what he has about sixty times the same name. He's going his made 62 00:09:43,639 --> 00:09:50,720 Uriby Gory, Barry Dove, all thea with you are why sixty names? 63 00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,879 His real name was Elmer Ferren Hoffman. Then sixty personalities as much lies and 64 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:03,240 as much real. Well sounds very Jesuitica. Yes, it's his world is 65 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,679 a world of make believe. You're not an actor, not an actor, 66 00:10:07,879 --> 00:10:13,679 Elmer. I'm not an actor. I am not a professional actor. He's 67 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,320 a leading actor in this movie. He is a professional. It's true. 68 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:22,559 His painting painting fakes. Among all fakers, Elmer is number two. Once 69 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,919 I saw a man from Bibidza writing a book on fake we came to see 70 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:28,720 me to Paris. He said, I heard you are the first man who 71 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:39,039 both a ell me or that man's name. Was the important distinction to make 72 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:46,360 when you're talking about the genuine quality of a painting. It's not so much 73 00:10:46,519 --> 00:10:52,960 whether it's a real painting or a fake. It's whether it's a good fake 74 00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:05,440 or a bad fake. The art of illusion or magic is often just pigeonholed 75 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:13,639 into describing magic shows or magicians. From Houdini, seek Fried and Roy, 76 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:20,159 David Blaine, and Chris Angel, these individuals have provided us with mind bending 77 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,519 moments that make us forget logic. However, behind every trick is a secret 78 00:11:26,799 --> 00:11:31,480 away the illusion is pulled off. Film directors are the same way. In 79 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:37,000 orson Wells is no different. As a matter of fact, the outright owns 80 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:45,519 it. In nineteen seventy six, Wells would release a video essay slash docu 81 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,639 drama called F for Fake. In this film, Wells would look at notorious 82 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:58,240 art forger El Mayor Diori, gamed biographer Clifford Irving, who wrote a biography 83 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:05,919 on dr called Fake, and was later shamed for writing a hoax biography on 84 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:13,200 Howard Hughes and Wells's companion at the time, the Beautiful Oja Kodar. Wells, 85 00:12:13,519 --> 00:12:18,240 as well as being a performer, director and writer, was a magician. 86 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,519 In this interview from nineteen seventy four, he talks about being a magician 87 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,200 and how that segued into him getting into cold readings. As he explains how 88 00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:37,399 this works, he exposes the hoax. This shows how Wells could be the 89 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:45,399 ultimate charlatan, speaking on something notorious, misleading and having people laugh with him 90 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:50,080 all along the way. I once, you know, I'm a magician, 91 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:56,120 and I got interested in mind reading and fortune telling, fake fortune telling, 92 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,919 you know. And I got to know a lot of old fakes would re 93 00:13:00,159 --> 00:13:05,440 tired as millionaires, you know. And they told me their secrets how you 94 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:09,200 do it. They are things that are called cold readings. A cold reading 95 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,799 is you warm up the sucker by telling him things that he says, How 96 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,320 could he ever know that? You see? You say, you know, 97 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:22,480 between the ages of thirteen and fifteen, you had a great change came in 98 00:13:22,519 --> 00:13:26,440 your life. Well, that happens in everybody's life. But he says, 99 00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:28,000 he came in and told me things I already said. You've got a scar 100 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,759 on your knee. Everybody fell down and has the scar on their knee Those 101 00:13:31,759 --> 00:13:35,200 are cold readings. You see. Now I have a scar that you see, 102 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,240 there's something bigger than myself. Well, now, the point about this 103 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,080 is that after they're warmed up, they're amazed by this knee bit and the 104 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,399 rest of it. They start telling you because you just say is it's it? 105 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:50,120 And you see from their face it is or it is and then you 106 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:50,960 tell it back and they say, how did he do it? You see? 107 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,919 So I was bored. I was playing in Kansas City with Katherine Crunnell 108 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:58,600 one time and we didn't have any matinee on Wednesday. So I hired a 109 00:13:58,759 --> 00:14:03,799 room and put Doctor Swami fortune teller, you know, two dollars readings, 110 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,600 and for the whole day that came in and I each one because I felt 111 00:14:09,639 --> 00:14:11,279 guilty about it. At the end, I was said, I'm not going 112 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,879 to take your money, you know, because I couldn't have really taken. 113 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,720 For a whole day, I was a fortune teller faking. But then there 114 00:14:16,759 --> 00:14:20,600 began to happen to be the thing that does happen to fortune tellers, and 115 00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:24,799 which is the occupational disease of fraudulents fortune tellers. And they have a name 116 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:31,120 for it. It's called becoming a shut eye and a shot eye. In 117 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,440 the argo of these crooks is the fellow who believe begins to believe himself. 118 00:14:37,919 --> 00:14:39,799 You see, and you make these wild guests, is one of them. 119 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,919 Explained to me, says, Supposing you're a night clerk in a hotel, 120 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,120 and when you get the job, first of all, fella comes in wants 121 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,639 a single room. You look at how good his luggage is, how good 122 00:14:48,639 --> 00:14:50,799 are his shoes, and you tell him there's a room in the court. 123 00:14:50,799 --> 00:14:54,480 There's no room. More. Yes, sir, depending on various pieces of 124 00:14:54,559 --> 00:14:56,879 evidence, says, you've been a nightclerk long enough. You glance, and 125 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,120 you tell him a night cook a little longer, and you don't have to 126 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:07,120 look. You've seen it. But you have the computer in here has made 127 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,679 all of those deductions without your being conscious of it. So the mind reader 128 00:15:11,759 --> 00:15:16,080 gets so that he, without thinking does that, and then they say it's 129 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,960 true. And a woman came in to me at the end of my career 130 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,559 as a fraudulent unfortune telling in a bright print dress and sat down looking perfectly 131 00:15:24,559 --> 00:15:28,519 all right, and I said, you've lost your husband last week, and 132 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,480 she burst into tears she had and then I quit it's one of those things. 133 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,759 Undoubtedly it's not psychic. Undoubtedly there was evidence of a tragedy. There 134 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,960 was all kinds of things that went into the computer and got processed without me 135 00:15:45,279 --> 00:15:48,120 crookedly thinking what I'm going to say to her, And that's how it works. 136 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,000 I think that's fascinating. And you get sort of five spooky premonitions with 137 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,879 that, and then you know, yes I do, and I'm sure they're 138 00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,720 all they're spooky like that in some kind of funny wa I suppose I look 139 00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,039 to do and you know, she's just una as the exact the girl that 140 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,440 would be happy with Charlie, I suppose. And instead of thinking maybe you'll 141 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,720 meet him, I just tweted I lose. I said you're gonna marry it, 142 00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:11,159 and she did. From that clip, we learn that Wells does have 143 00:16:11,279 --> 00:16:15,759 a love of magic. You can hear it in his voice. That love 144 00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:22,240 sets the stage for this film. In the first scene he performs a series 145 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:26,679 of tricks for a young child. We hear Wells fully admit it's a hoax, 146 00:16:27,159 --> 00:16:33,039 but he keeps up the hoax to entertain. In all the while he 147 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:40,720 beautifully ineloquently explains what is going on to keep us the audience a part of 148 00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:45,399 the trick. At the end of this scene, we hear wells make a 149 00:16:45,559 --> 00:16:52,039 promise that for the next hour, everything we hear is really true and based 150 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,120 on solid facts. For my next experiment, ladies and gentlemen, I would 151 00:16:57,159 --> 00:17:02,399 appreciate the loan of any small person object from your pocket, a key or 152 00:17:02,519 --> 00:17:06,599 a box of matches, A coin? Oh good, sir, hold it 153 00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:11,839 up ten feet over your head and watch out the slightest hint of panky pecky, 154 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:22,799 And behold before our very eyes a transformation. We've changed your key into 155 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,559 a coin. What happened to the key? It's been returned to you. 156 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:32,559 Look closely, sir. You'll find the key back in your pocket. May 157 00:17:32,599 --> 00:17:37,279 we see it? Please? After your old tricks? I see why not? 158 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,640 I'm a charlatan. What's that said? Did? I used to be 159 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,279 a magician, sir? I'm still working on it. As for the key, 160 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,400 it was not symbolic of anything. This isn't that kind of movie. 161 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,960 You will find the coin now in your pocket, sir. Keep your eyes 162 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,319 or the coin, sir, while it's returned to you as your key. 163 00:17:59,319 --> 00:18:00,480 Should we return you to your mother? Is this your mother? No? 164 00:18:00,559 --> 00:18:04,839 Of course not open your mouth. Why I will return you your money. 165 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,160 By the way, have you ever heard of Robert speaking of magicians? Any? 166 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,000 Of course not, But of course you do know. My partner in 167 00:18:15,079 --> 00:18:18,839 France for a writing Barner was the greatest magician who ever lived. Do you 168 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:29,319 know what he said? A magician? He said, is just an actor? 169 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,720 Well, good luck to you, just an actor playing the part of 170 00:18:32,839 --> 00:18:44,920 a magician. Very nice and she's fabulously rich too. It's a good story 171 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,480 about her. Do you want to tell her? We'll cover that one I 172 00:18:47,599 --> 00:18:57,799 did. Now it's time for an introduction, ladies and gentlemen. By way 173 00:18:57,839 --> 00:19:04,680 of introduction, this is a film about trickery and fraud, about lies. 174 00:19:06,799 --> 00:19:08,799 Tell it by the fireside, or in a marketplace or in a movie. 175 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,799 Almost any story is almost certainly some kind of lie. But not this time. 176 00:19:17,039 --> 00:19:21,119 Now, this is a promise during the next hour, everything you'll hear 177 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:25,759 from this is really true and based on solid effects. Throughout this film, 178 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:32,200 Wells presents the idea of illusions in hoaxes being misunderstood. That is what makes 179 00:19:32,319 --> 00:19:37,319 this docudrama so intriguing. None of us like to be misled, However, 180 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:45,720 how many times have we bought knockoff designer clothing or accessories, off brand food 181 00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:51,680 items, famous pieces of art reproduced into a poster, such as Starry Night, 182 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:59,279 The Mona Lisa, or any of Grentwood's pieces. Wouldn't that make us 183 00:19:59,519 --> 00:20:03,839 a part of the hoax and not the victim of it? These are the 184 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,240 questions this film presents to us. In our final clip, Wells has just 185 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:15,039 told the story regarding Kodar, her grandfather, and her grandfather forging Picasso paintings. 186 00:20:15,599 --> 00:20:21,559 This is the final scene of the film where Wells shows us the viewer 187 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:27,079 that not everything is what it seems, and that quote that we mentioned previously 188 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:36,319 that for the next hour that everything presented is really true and based on solid 189 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:45,440 facts. Time for a confession, Time to go good night. That's a 190 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,400 real name, you know, oh yah Oya Koda. I don't think that 191 00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:56,400 young gentleman is a trump home player. That Ohya's grandfather was Hungarian, he 192 00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:02,319 laid any pictures never in his life, and gentlemen, we did you Soya's 193 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:07,319 grandfather to lend versimilarity to the reenactment of this story, but is reenactment really 194 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,400 the word? What I mean is with the story, this is hard to 195 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:18,279 believe reenactment isn't easy, right, brats who are at the very beginning of 196 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,440 all this, I did make you a promise. Remember, I did promise 197 00:21:22,279 --> 00:21:30,680 that for one hour, I tell you what, the truth that our ladies 198 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,920 and gentlemen is over. For the past seventeen minutes, I've been lying my 199 00:21:36,039 --> 00:21:41,920 head off the truth, and please forgive us for it is that we've been 200 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,960 fortune an art story. As a charlatan, of course, my job was 201 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,880 to try to make it real, not that reality has anything to do with 202 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:56,680 it. Reality. It's the toothbrush waiting at home for you, and it's 203 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:03,400 glass, a bus ticket, paycheck, and the grave. In the right 204 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,119 mood, perhaps Elmeir has just as few regrets as I have to have been 205 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,079 a charlatan. But we're not so proud either of us has to lay any 206 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:19,519 superior claim to being very much worse than the rest of you. Now what 207 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,480 we professional liars hope to serve his truth? I'm afraid the pompous word for 208 00:22:25,559 --> 00:22:30,720 that is art, because of himself said it art. He said he's a 209 00:22:30,839 --> 00:22:37,680 lie, a lie that makes us realize the truth. Oh yes, grandfather 210 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:44,720 floating here in the air has no comment, which isn't surprising because he ever 211 00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:48,640 existed. To the memory of that great man who will never cease to exist, 212 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:57,440 I offer my apologies and wish you all true and false are very pleasant, 213 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:06,359 good evening. When this film was released, it was met with widespread 214 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:12,240 criticism. Wells had released a nine minute trailer that only featured scenes that were 215 00:23:12,279 --> 00:23:18,359 not even in the film. When critics and moviegoers went to see the release, 216 00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:22,440 this led to them not understanding what the film is about and being confused 217 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:30,240 about what Wells was even trying to convey. Those feelings could be the ultimate 218 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:36,200 story of Wells's career. A man, a director, a magician, a 219 00:23:36,319 --> 00:23:41,160 performer that was far ahead of his time. His films were not heralded then 220 00:23:41,319 --> 00:23:45,559 for the most part, but now they are a part of the greatest ever 221 00:23:45,839 --> 00:23:52,200 film's discussion, Touch of Evil, Citizen Kane, Magnificent Ambersons, the list 222 00:23:52,319 --> 00:23:57,240 can go on and on. His influence is felt through decades of cinema, 223 00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,880 and he is my all time favorite director. His films were made by a 224 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,559 performer and magician, and in my opinion, that is why they captivate in 225 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:14,000 awe even today. I hope you join me next week when in honor a 226 00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:18,680 major league baseball season starting, we will look at the nineteen eighty nine film 227 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:26,000 starring Charlie Sheen, Corbin Burnson and Wesley Snipe's Major League. To conclude this 228 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,079 month long tribute to Orson Wells, we will feature a scene from f for 229 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:37,000 Fake where he compares art to human life with the backdrop of Chartez Cathedral in 230 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,519 France. It rises, it falls, and it is forgotten, thankfully for 231 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,440 us, Wells and his masterpiece as he left us. Never will be a 232 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:55,599 celebration to God's glory and to the dignity of man. Well Well, that's 233 00:24:55,680 --> 00:25:00,720 left. Most odd, it seemed to feel these days, is man naked, 234 00:25:03,559 --> 00:25:12,559 poor, forked, raddish. There aren't any celebrations ours. The scientists 235 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:19,079 keep telling us. As a universe which is disposable, you know, it 236 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:26,200 might be just this one anonymous glory of all things, this rich stone forest, 237 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:33,960 this epic chant, this gaiety, this grand quiring shout of affirmation, 238 00:25:33,759 --> 00:25:40,960 which we choose when all our cities are dust, to stand intact, to 239 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:47,079 mark where we have been, to testify to what we had in us to 240 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:55,440 accomplish. Our works in stone and paint in print are spared, some of 241 00:25:55,519 --> 00:25:59,880 them for a few decades or a millennium or two. But everything must find 242 00:26:00,039 --> 00:26:06,119 a fallen war, or we're away into the ultimate and universal pash, the 243 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:11,400 triumphs and the frauds, the treasures and the fakes, the fact of life. 244 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:18,640 We're going to die, be of good heart, cry the dead artists 245 00:26:18,759 --> 00:26:26,759 out of the living past. Our songs will all be silenced. But what 246 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:40,839 of it? Go on singing? Maybe a man's name doesn't matter all that 247 00:26:41,079 --> 00:27:27,400 much.

There is 335 00:37:25,599 --> 00:37:30,400 horns on the album actually, so if you listen to that album you will 336 00:37:30,559 --> 00:37:35,159 hear some horns. Yes, yes. Now we were talking off here about 337 00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:39,199 the album that's coming. When is that coming? So the first single? 338 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,400 Yeah, So we have a new album. It's done, fourteen songs. 339 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,760 It's a worth psyche to be have a complete it's been a mission. Yeah. 340 00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,119 But it's called something like a War And the whole album comes out on 341 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:57,559 July twenty sixth, Okay. The first single, which is called the Spirit 342 00:37:57,639 --> 00:38:02,119 of Massachusetts Avenue, comes out out on May thirty first, and a week 343 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,800 or two later we're gonna drop a music video for that one, and then 344 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,079 probably a month later we'll drop another single before the whole the whole album comes 345 00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:14,280 out. Yeah. Yeeah man, Okay, just really excited to get this 346 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,760 one out there. Yeah. So why why fourteen songs, because that's a 347 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:22,840 that's a big commitment. I'm an idiot, to be honest. Some of 348 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:29,239 these songs this so already dead started. It was like a product of COVID, 349 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,519 you know, live music died. Yeah, sitting at home. I 350 00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:37,119 only ever really played in other bands. I never I never even hopped on 351 00:38:37,199 --> 00:38:39,039 a mic. Really. Oh wow. I was just kind of like motivated, 352 00:38:39,039 --> 00:38:42,559 you know. So I had some songs i'd written at home and stuff, 353 00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:46,519 so I just uh just started recording, you know, getting some demos 354 00:38:46,519 --> 00:38:50,239 together. Yeah, and Nick and I have played in bands before, so 355 00:38:50,559 --> 00:38:52,400 oh okay. I basically said, hey, man, what do you think 356 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,159 It wasn't even supposed to be a band. I was just like, let's 357 00:38:55,159 --> 00:38:58,480 go record these, let's have some fun, you know. Yeah. I 358 00:38:58,599 --> 00:39:02,599 sent him which is now our first album. It's called My Collars Blue, 359 00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:07,079 My Collar's Blue. It's seven songs, but so I sent them to him. 360 00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:10,719 He was down, got ourselves a bass player, and all of a 361 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:15,880 sudden we were a band. Just started playing shows. But so when we 362 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:20,599 were recording that album, some of the some of the songs on this new 363 00:39:20,599 --> 00:39:23,039 album already done. We've been playing them live since we've been playing shows. 364 00:39:23,079 --> 00:39:29,440 So yeah, I think it was a mix of writing new songs because we're 365 00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:31,840 motivated because now we're a band, Now we will find a sound. So 366 00:39:32,239 --> 00:39:35,880 yeah, it was a mix of the new songs and just to get the 367 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,159 old ones out, you know what I mean, just on the mental like 368 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,840 put them out in the world so we can move on, right right, 369 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:45,039 Yeah, yeah, totally. Yeah, So that's why there's so many freakins. 370 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,159 No, it's interesting because a lot of the guests that we have on 371 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,880 the show, you know, they talk about they just released singles and then 372 00:39:51,199 --> 00:39:54,239 eventually those singles form an album, right, But you know, when I 373 00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,679 was growing up, it was the other way around. You know, typically 374 00:39:57,679 --> 00:39:59,840 an artist, you know, they released a single ahead of an album, 375 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,119 but then the album comes out before any other now, before the second, 376 00:40:02,199 --> 00:40:06,039 third, fourth, single, whatever comes out. So it's but the Internet 377 00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:07,440 has kind of allowed us to invert that and do it any way you want 378 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,760 to. So that's why it's impressive that, you know, you made the 379 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:14,039 commitment to do a fourteen song albums. Yeah, and I think it's because 380 00:40:14,079 --> 00:40:15,559 I grew up on albums too, you know. Yeah, yeah, I'm 381 00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:21,519 right on that cusp but both. But I I think I'm also striving to 382 00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:23,840 make a great album, yeah, because of the albums we grew up on 383 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:29,960 and that influenced us, and so we're just aiming to do that, probably 384 00:40:30,039 --> 00:40:35,159 failing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, 385 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,360 we're excited. Man, how many how many bands did you guys played 386 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:44,719 in multiple bands before this or we've So I met Nick, this is a 387 00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:46,880 great story. Yeah, I answered a Craigslist sad. I was in between 388 00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:52,239 bands, and so I played bass like in a lot fill ins on a 389 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:54,639 lot of bands and stuff. So I anstead a Craigslist aad or you know, 390 00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,000 like a cover gig or whatever. Yeah. I was probably twenty seven 391 00:40:59,079 --> 00:41:02,960 at the time, and Nick, a fresh young eighteen year old, walks 392 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,039 in and the second I heard him play, and I was on bass, 393 00:41:07,079 --> 00:41:12,000 and we just clicked and then we both talked and we grew up on punk 394 00:41:12,119 --> 00:41:15,880 rock, sky music stuff like that, so we just kind of that. 395 00:41:15,079 --> 00:41:19,639 Even that cover band did not work out really yeah, but I was me 396 00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:22,199 and him were like, oh, we'll just talk, we'll stay in touch. 397 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,400 A couple of years later from from when he met me, not not 398 00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:29,280 a previous band, yeah right right, yeah, but yeah, so a 399 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,920 couple of years later, I was starting another group and we were looking for 400 00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,840 a drummer, and I was like, I get a guy. Yeah, 401 00:41:34,159 --> 00:41:37,440 I mean, let me, I got a guy. That band Nick came 402 00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:42,079 over to the house I was living at the time. It's like six pm, 403 00:41:43,119 --> 00:41:45,199 two and a half songs in on the cop show up at our house. 404 00:41:45,599 --> 00:41:47,039 Really yeah yeah, well that's when you know you got something good. 405 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:51,920 Yeah, where the neighbors hate us. The cop knocked on the door, 406 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:52,920 He's like, hey, it sounds all right, but you guys got to 407 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:59,199 stop. Yeah yeah, oh that's awesome. So now, so what was 408 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,920 how how long has this project been around? Because I imagine it's been a 409 00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:06,840 few years, right with fourteen songs? Yeah, so call it three years 410 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:12,679 now from like the inception of Already Dead. Yeah yeah, and yeah, 411 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,800 yeah, the the album came Our first album came out about two years ago, 412 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:20,280 so okay, i'd say call it three years okay, okay. And 413 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,920 the songs, I mean they seem to have a theme, you know, 414 00:42:22,039 --> 00:42:24,719 the band seems to have a theme. Yeah, that sure, you know, 415 00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:30,119 and as evidenced by you know, My Collar is Blue? I mean, 416 00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:32,639 is that kind of kind of your Can you tell us about your perspective 417 00:42:32,679 --> 00:42:37,800 in terms of the songs. Yeah, So I'm a I'm a union pipe 418 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:43,199 that are in Boston, NIX, the CDL operator, I don't know, 419 00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:47,519 we and sitting on job sites. I think a lot of times I would 420 00:42:47,519 --> 00:42:52,119 come up with songs and stuff. Yeah, would just kind of naturally be 421 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:57,599 in that theme. Yeah yeah, yeah, grinding pipe in a trench and 422 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,280 thinking about yeah whatever, right right, Yeah, I'm angry about my job, 423 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:06,519 so I'm writing it becomes what runs through your brain. Yeah yeah, 424 00:43:06,599 --> 00:43:09,760 yeah, it makes sense, it makes sense. It's yeah. I think 425 00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:15,599 that was just a natural step, you know, because the other songs that 426 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:19,800 we have are more like self reflection, something like that little social commentary. 427 00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,280 But sure, I think we we landed on My Collars Blue just that when 428 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,519 we're coming out, we need to stand for something, you know, yeah, 429 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,280 have something to go with. Yeah. Well, and it's relatable. 430 00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,199 Yeah, I mean, you know, obviously people can can relate to what 431 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,079 you're right, what you're doing. Yeah, it's an easy theme. You 432 00:43:37,119 --> 00:43:40,199 know. He sits in traffic for hours every single morning and driving to work 433 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:45,440 and yeah, we're working like ten to twelve hour days or more. Yeah, 434 00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,039 just yeah, what becomes you? Right? Right? Yeah? Stroy 435 00:43:49,119 --> 00:43:53,880 my road rage into songs. Yeah what about Not to speak for him, 436 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,000 but what what about your bass player? It is? Yeah, so he's 437 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,280 a union iron worker Okay, yeah, really it's just like kind of worked 438 00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,400 out. Yeah. Yeah. It's a good way to at least present the 439 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,199 band to start, you know. Yeah. Yeah. And by the way, 440 00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,039 so I'm curious too about the name Already Dead, because when I hear 441 00:44:09,119 --> 00:44:13,800 that name, you know it okay, could be a punk band, could 442 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,960 be a it could be a metal band. Yeah, you know, it 443 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:20,880 evokes a couple of different ideas about what I'm about to hear. Where does 444 00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,360 the name come from? It actually comes from stability the song. In the 445 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:30,559 song, there's a lyric, that's all. That's it. Oh yeah, 446 00:44:30,559 --> 00:44:35,039 it's already Dead. Yeah, yeah, no, I don't pursue. If 447 00:44:35,079 --> 00:44:37,800 I don't pursue this life, that's a sin. That's it. Call it. 448 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,039 I'm already dead. I wrote the song and I was like, oh, 449 00:44:40,199 --> 00:44:45,440 that's kind of cool. Oh okay, And then it's also a name 450 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,320 of another it's a song from a band I know, so I was like, 451 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,480 oh, I don't know. It just kind of like stuck in my 452 00:44:52,559 --> 00:44:54,320 head a little while. And then, like I said, we weren't even 453 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,519 going to be a band. We were just going to record those songs. 454 00:44:57,559 --> 00:45:00,840 But once we decided to be one, Yeah, we've got to call ourselves 455 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,559 something, right, they could just stuck with it. Yeah, Yeah, 456 00:45:02,599 --> 00:45:06,199 it just came down from the sky and yeah, we took it and brought 457 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:10,519 it in the house and yeah, rossed it. There you go, there 458 00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:14,159 you I like it. Are you guys play a lot? I know? 459 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,679 I know this weekend you're doing. Yeah, you're doing a lot. This 460 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:21,079 is the busiest weekend we've had so far, for sure. But yeah, 461 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,920 we we want to we're looking to get out there more this summer. June 462 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,400 second will be at the Middle East. Actually excellent, I'll look up the 463 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:34,400 bill before the chill. Yeah, we're psyched to get on that one. 464 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,039 Middle East upstairs. It's gonna be a Sunday night June second. Yeah, 465 00:45:37,159 --> 00:45:40,599 and that's the weekend our the first single from the album comes out, so's 466 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:45,239 it'll be timed very nicely. Oh okay, okay, cool, cool, 467 00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,480 good time, man. I think off air too. You were saying something 468 00:45:47,519 --> 00:45:52,400 about a video, Yes, music video for the first single, spear of 469 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:58,679 Massachusetts Avenue. Probably like a week later we'll drop the video on that. 470 00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,239 But yeah, it's that song is interesting. I wish we could play it 471 00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:08,119 here, but it has swears and uh but Sam, So I wrote that 472 00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:12,639 song. I was working a job in Cambridge. I was still a pipe 473 00:46:12,639 --> 00:46:15,280 fitter apprentice at the time, and my school was in Dorchester. Yeah, 474 00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:20,880 I went to night school. So I drive Massachusetts Avenue from Cambridge down to 475 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,039 Boston and I would just see the progression of uh, you know, the 476 00:46:29,039 --> 00:46:31,159 the area. I guess, yeah, you know. I was working at 477 00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:37,280 MIT, so it's you know, more upscale Whatnotah, And so I just 478 00:46:37,079 --> 00:46:40,480 made that drive so much. I just started thinking, like, it's just 479 00:46:40,599 --> 00:46:44,280 one road. Why is why? I think so different as you go, 480 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,400 you know, just a couple of miles down the road. Interesting. Yeah, 481 00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:52,920 songs more like an observation of you know, allocation of resources and the 482 00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,440 people who control that, and like, what the hell are they doing? 483 00:46:55,920 --> 00:47:00,199 Right? In my mind, I just throw two miles and it's like two 484 00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:05,079 completely different worlds. Yes, I feel like that's I don't have the answer, 485 00:47:05,119 --> 00:47:07,079 but I feel like it's a problem that could be solved right right. 486 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,960 And then the video, Yeah you got us walking on the mass Have Bridge 487 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:15,480 over the Charles River and playing live but man shout out to Berto Yeah, 488 00:47:15,559 --> 00:47:20,079 burto Media, the director who made the videos killer but oh, okay, 489 00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,719 I I love I love getting you know, stuff done and working on albums 490 00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:28,039 and everything, but to be able to do it correctly and everything, and 491 00:47:28,079 --> 00:47:30,440 then you end up sitting on it and then you're yeah, it's like oh 492 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:35,199 I can't wait. Yeah, yeah, how did you How did you work 493 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,559 with him? How did you connect with Berto Media? So? I knew 494 00:47:37,639 --> 00:47:40,800 him, No, actually I met him.
