Speaker 2: Well, I guess, uh, where are the Stiff Tones. I'm Sean.

51
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,240
This is Rachel, my wife, and uh we're from I'm

52
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,599
from southern Illinois. She's from New Hampshire. I liked to

53
00:03:28,759 --> 00:03:33,120
joke that she exited her and exit her just Stan

54
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:37,520
go to jokes. We've been traveling the country for about

55
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,000
five years, living in the back of our Cadillac hearse

56
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,360
playing and singing for our supper and hundreds of towns

57
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,439
all over the country.

58
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:45,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

59
00:03:45,479 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, we quit being grown ups and I got away

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,719
from Yeah COVID trust is how I was a nurse,

61
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,400
you know, And yeah COVID streussed no doubt.

62
00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 5: Yeah.

63
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,319
Speaker 8: After that, we were like, what we have choices, Like,

64
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,360
we don't have to have all this stuff.

65
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,719
Speaker 5: That's okay, we're on a delay. I caught it shipwreck.

66
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:08,599
Speaker 8: I was saying, ship we don't have to have all

67
00:04:08,639 --> 00:04:10,919
this stuff, and so yeah, whatever we can fit in

68
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:13,080
the hurst we can take with us. Yeah, that's what

69
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:13,439
we did.

70
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: So that's what we did. We we kind of ran

71
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:19,040
away with the proverbial circus, so we kind of call

72
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,199
ourselves the rock and roll defible circus versus a revival.

73
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 5: Okay.

74
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: So that's basically where you take instead of just reviving something,

75
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,720
you take the good parts of it and you form

76
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:30,560
something new with it.

77
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 5: Okay. By the way, I just want our listeners to

78
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279
know too. I can confirm so the hearst thing is

79
00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:40,160
not a gimmick. That is real. There's an actual hearse outside.

80
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 8: Her name is Tanya.

81
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 5: Oh yes, I noticed that on the license plate. Yeah yeah, yeah.

82
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 8: People think that I have Tanya and I'm not. I'm racial.

83
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 5: Why why is the Hurst Tanya?

84
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,439
Speaker 2: Why is it?

85
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 6: Okay?

86
00:04:50,319 --> 00:04:53,439
Speaker 2: So everybody, a lot of folks get a hearse and

87
00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,959
they immediately want to name it, you know, get Patty

88
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,240
on the license plate either, for.

89
00:04:57,639 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 8: This is our age showing like if you're older than

90
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,120
you know who Patty Hurst is.

91
00:05:02,519 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 2: We're like, okay, well I get it. That's funny. But

92
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,199
wouldn't it be even cooler if we got one and

93
00:05:07,319 --> 00:05:10,040
we switched it to her music? People at Yellow Name.

94
00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:12,319
Speaker 8: Yeah. So when she when she was kidnapped and then

95
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:15,000
she joined the People's Liberation Organization, she changed her name

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,879
to Tanya. And one of our favorite bands happens to

97
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:20,160
be a band named Camper van Beethoven and they have

98
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,720
an album called Our Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart. All on this

99
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,199
album is a song called Tanya and it's so we

100
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,759
have to I mean, it was just meant to.

101
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: Be because she used to be a funeral carriage, you know.

102
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:33,439
Now she's a rock and roll she rock.

103
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 8: Now she's a beloved rock and roll tor queen.

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, kind of a you know that's kind of

105
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,560
why that how that happened? Now?

106
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:39,759
Speaker 1: Do you?

00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,279
out Okay, back on the road.

127
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: Okay, is it challenging that, I mean, this is an

128
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,079
unconventional uh lifestyle, right, it.

129
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: Is.

130
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: It is difficult.

131
00:06:36,879 --> 00:06:38,879
Speaker 8: So it's paying a mortgage and so, you know, so

132
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,480
making sure the lights are turned on, and raising children

133
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,800
and and you know, and just getting by and in life.

134
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,399
So it's just it's just different. It's just a different complicated.

135
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,439
I mean, I've been just as broken, just as frustrated

136
00:06:50,439 --> 00:06:52,360
when I was a nurse, as a as I am

137
00:06:52,439 --> 00:06:53,439
as a rock goddess.

138
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: That makes sense.

139
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,439
Speaker 8: But you know this today was the first time I've

140
00:06:56,439 --> 00:06:57,879
had to set an alarm clock in.

141
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, a lot kind of on a different time schedule. Now, Yeah,

142
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,920
you play late a lot of times. Then you sleep

143
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,040
in a little bit, you sleep until the sun warms

144
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:08,319
you up.

145
00:07:08,439 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 8: You could have been when you want, and you wake

146
00:07:09,879 --> 00:07:12,160
up when you want. For the most party, there's you know,

147
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,759
there's also those fifteen hour drive days, you know, because

148
00:07:14,759 --> 00:07:16,399
you guys, you got to get there or you know,

149
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:18,439
the side of the road, you know, tire changes or

150
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,439

00:07:23,439 --> 00:07:25,920
things life life, happens. We have five children between the.

153
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,279
Speaker 2: Two of us.

154
00:07:26,279 --> 00:07:29,439
Speaker 8: They're grown. Yeah, so yeah, we're pretty well adapted to,

155
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,720
you know, dealing with the litany of issues you can

156
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:33,519
come up on the road.

157
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: Yeah. And have you been doing this since?

158
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: Uh?

159
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,439
Speaker 5: Because you said so, COVID was kind of your breaking

160
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,199
point right as far as nursing.

161
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,959
Speaker 8: And well, my girlfriend passed away suddenly on me and

162
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:48,279
girlfriend like friend friend, Yeah, and passed away suddenly on me.

163
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,680
And it was one of those moments where I was

164
00:07:50,759 --> 00:07:52,480
forty five and I was like, man, my life was

165
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,240
already half over, and you know what am I going

166
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:55,879
to do? And so I started travel nursing and we

167
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,560
did that for a while, trying to scratch that itchy

168
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:00,639
And because I was a millit Harry Bratt, so I

169
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,040
grew up moving around a lot, and I'd been stuck

170
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:07,120
in Illinois for like thirty years, and so he agreed

171
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,839
with me, and then yeah, we started singing together. Because

172
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:14,480
he was a musician. I met him at an open

173
00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:19,759
mic and I'm dominating this conversation anyway. And music has

174
00:08:19,759 --> 00:08:22,040
always been very therapeutic to me in a different kind

175
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120
of way. I was never a maker of music or creator.

176
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:29,399
I was an appreciator. I know Sush, So long story,

177
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:33,720
extremely long. We met an open mic and then we

178
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,879
started playing together. Gosh what in twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen,

179
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:39,679
and he had to rule no girlfriends in the band,

180
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,679
so we had to get married.

181
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: If you're in a band, it sorry like having three

182
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:44,759
girlfriends at the same time.

183
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 8: So we were together as friends with extraordinary benefits for

184
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,159
the first seven years and we've been married for the

185
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,440
last seven fourteen years together. But anyway, we had to

186
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,159
get married so we could be the stiff Tones starting

187
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,799
the open mic thing and travel around with the travel

188
00:09:00,879 --> 00:09:03,159
nursing and kind of getting you know, like a hey man,

189
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,039
what are you doing here? Can't have a vibe, and

190
00:09:05,519 --> 00:09:08,080
so we're like, yeah, we'll try it. And it's nothing

191
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:11,519
like what we thought. And we were completely naive and

192
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,360
we weren't that good and bless everybody, and first everybody

193
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,519
really cursed. But what are you doing here? I think, Yeah,

194
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,759
that's how you get gas money.

195
00:09:18,879 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: You're either really good or really That was one of

196
00:09:21,039 --> 00:09:23,600
our tactics later as a later as a band, I'll

197
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,720
pass this out for any fledgling bands out there listening.

198
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,519
Go out there and do it. And the reason for

199
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:31,879
it is if you're even if you're awful like we were,

200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,559
eventually somebody will pay.

201
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:42,039
Speaker 8: You to leave, and perspective is everything and just start.

202
00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:43,399
Speaker 2: Setting up camp and they'll just be like, all right,

203
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,480
we're gonna pay you to get out of.

204
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,879
Speaker 8: Here the toilet paper.

205
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 5: That's right, very good. Well, I uh, it's it's it's

206
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,200
gonna be hard to avoid these puns. I'm dying to

207
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:59,279
hear you play, so I said to Jenny earlier. I

208
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:03,159
was like, before before the sentence even made it out

209
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,840
of my mouth, fully I started. I started to say

210
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,440
I'm dying to see the hears. I got as far

211
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,000
as I'm dying, and then I'm like, oh, I'm making

212
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,080
a pun. You're very punny, but but yeah, there's a

213
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,519
there's a legit hearse out there.

214
00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeahah.

215
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 8: And just for the record, the name the stiff Tones

216
00:10:18,519 --> 00:10:19,759
came before the hers.

217
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 5: Wondering about people. Oh, I just assumed our.

218
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:26,759
Speaker 8: Last name is Steve, and well my mine is now

219
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,679
adopted it, okay, And so growing up his nickname was Stiffy.

220
00:10:29,759 --> 00:10:31,600
So the little town where we're from, everybody knows him

221
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,240
as Stiffy. That how I met him was true, and

222
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,919
so when we were when he would do the open

223
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,440
mic circuit, they would call anybody could get up there.

224
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,840
They'd say it was Stiffy and the stiff Tones play

225
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:41,159
with him.

226
00:10:41,279 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: The stiff I mean, as much as I love Tom Petty,

227
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,600
and I really do, but I don't want to be

228
00:10:44,639 --> 00:10:46,360
known as Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I want to

229
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,360
be like the Stones or something, right, And it was

230
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:49,679
just the.

231
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 8: Two of us, So it can't be Stiffy and the

232
00:10:51,279 --> 00:10:53,000
stiff Tones, right.

233
00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 5: Right, right right?

234
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, very strange thing, wouldn't it.

235
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, yeah, that would be that would be yeah.

236
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,320
Well very good. Okay, Well I am I'm eager to

237
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,519
hear you play you sound You sounded phenomenal during the soundtrack,

238
00:11:06,639 --> 00:11:07,960
so this is going to be killing.

239
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 2: I want to play in the song about a little hometown. Sure, okay,

240
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,039

00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:31,480
and uh, how many like, how many songs do you have?

296
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,600
Probably quite a few at this point right in terms

297
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,240
of original music, we do have a few.

298
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,159
Speaker 8: We do have a well, we're getting ready to release

299
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,600
our debut album on September twenty first.

300
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,679
Speaker 5: Hopefully excellent, excellent.

301
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, and there there will be nine original tracks on

302
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,559
there in one cover.

303
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:51,279
Speaker 6: And then we have.

304
00:16:53,519 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 8: The good meat and potatoes of our second album already

305
00:16:56,759 --> 00:17:01,440
wet on that one. Largely so we've been most of

306
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,599
these songs that were that were performing today and that

307
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:06,519
are all going to be on the album are all

308
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:10,160
songs that were written either right well before Sean and

309
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,319
I met, or write as we met, or you know after,

310
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,559
and so yeah, fourteen years he and I have been

311
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:19,920
kind of working on some of these same songs. Yeah,

312
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,160
but we didn't go into this with the idea that

313
00:17:22,279 --> 00:17:24,000
that's what we were doing, because again, I was a

314
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,640
nurse and I was a mother and that's what I

315
00:17:25,799 --> 00:17:28,240
you know. I sang with him and harmonized with him

316
00:17:28,279 --> 00:17:29,880
when he would practice and play because it was fun

317
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,599
and I love to sing, you know, and I sang

318
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,119
growing up and whatever. But like run away and join

319
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,000
the circus, no, I mean, like, yeah, I had my

320
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,119
PhD and Karen, you know, like I had the hair

321
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:45,240
cuts hairs for a while. It's living in ahearse what no, right?

322
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:45,559
Speaker 3: Right?

323
00:17:46,519 --> 00:17:49,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, So the one cover we do is a cover

324
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:51,440
by a guy named Johnny Hickman. I want to mention that,

325
00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:57,440
so not all heroes were caves. So the reason it's

326
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,960
on there is because it's it's our that signal song,

327
00:18:01,799 --> 00:18:04,359
and it's at the very very end of the album.

328
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,799
So so anyways, that's kind of that was the first song. Okay,

329
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,079
So the album actually was kind of written around the

330
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,200
idea of putting that song at the end of the album.

331
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, why is that, like why it belong there?

332
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,880
Speaker 2: It's I don't know, for whatever reason, well, Rachel probably

333
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:22,079
tell you.

334
00:18:22,319 --> 00:18:24,319
Speaker 8: One of the reasons is you know, is it that signal?

335
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,839
You know? And when Shawn and I were first dating

336
00:18:27,079 --> 00:18:29,440
and becoming friends, anybody that knows us knows we know

337
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680
how to fight very very much. We perfected it like

338
00:18:32,759 --> 00:18:37,759
it's very early on and where's much brother and sister

339
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,400
and a mother and son and and and it like

340
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:46,960
it's crazy. But when we would break up, and because

341
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,839
we again we had five children between the two of us,

342
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,720
it was just complicated and missing. We'd break up and

343
00:18:50,759 --> 00:18:53,319
he'd go home and he'd post this song on the

344
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,960
internet because Facebook was new at the time. And I

345
00:18:56,079 --> 00:18:58,400
knew that I was the treacherous woman in that song,

346
00:18:59,279 --> 00:19:01,720
even though he didn't it was but so but I

347
00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:03,759
knew it was time for me to call him up

348
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:04,759
because he was thinking and.

349
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:09,039
Speaker 2: Johnny, Johnny's my favorite guitar player. Without him having been

350
00:19:09,079 --> 00:19:10,839
a guitar player, and he heard his work in the

351
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,640
band Cracker, I would have never picked up a guitar

352
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:14,559
like yeah.

353
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 8: I actually got to take his hand and say it.

354
00:19:16,759 --> 00:19:18,960
And so he gave us his permission for this song

355
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,240
to be or not that the song weren't doing it

356
00:19:21,319 --> 00:19:23,240
right now, but that song to be at the end

357
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,279
of the album. Oh okay, Yeah, we rearranged it a

358
00:19:26,319 --> 00:19:29,640
little bit and but yeah, permission.

359
00:19:29,599 --> 00:19:32,039
Speaker 5: Very cool. Now where you might have mentioned it earlier,

360
00:19:32,079 --> 00:19:33,720
but where are you recording the album?

361
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 2: Everywhere? So we were as we were writing in we

362
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,000
were here listening to you guys talk about that on

363
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:40,680
the show, and I was like, oh my goodness, way

364
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,519
to the hear hear from us. So we're putting this

365
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:46,359
album together in the most unconventional way you could possibly

366
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,240
about imagine over the course the last four years, being

367
00:19:49,319 --> 00:19:52,759
run around the country singing for our supper. So we

368
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,359
started putting the album together like in different places. So

369
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:59,839
part of the album, the first part at the end

370
00:19:59,839 --> 00:20:03,839
of the album. Firstly, we just recorded.

371
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 8: Tracks in my dad's garage, of my dad's kitchen.

372
00:20:05,599 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 2: Just the other night that we recorded for it would

373
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,039
have happened. We we went all the way to California,

374
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,839
southern California to record like the end of the album.

375
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, and that's where Backwards Down a Hill was recorded. Yeah,

376
00:20:19,519 --> 00:20:21,759
because when we first went out in twenty twenty one,

377
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,720
we went out with the intention of recording this album,

378
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,480
and at that time, Backwards Down a Hill was going

379
00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,279
to be maybe was going to be on the album.

380
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:30,960
But the only thing we left that day with was

381
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,640
Backwards down a Hill. An education that's right, very good,

382
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,240
very good education, and realization that we needed more education.

383
00:20:39,599 --> 00:20:39,759
Speaker 1: Yea.

384
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: And so so the back of the album is more

385
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,039
like recorded in California. But then everything kind of goes

386
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:48,039
like in a Quentin Tarantino style, everything it goes backwards.

387
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,799
After that, Backwards down a Hill, we just cursed ourselves

388
00:20:50,839 --> 00:20:53,960
and didn't even know it. We went in there. We

389
00:20:54,079 --> 00:20:57,000
recorded a version of the last song in the album,

390
00:20:57,079 --> 00:21:00,319
Father Winter, and it was awful. Really, Yeah, we did.

391
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:01,880
The one thing that we were asked not to is

392
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,799
to not not ruin the song in the Chili and yea,

393
00:21:06,559 --> 00:21:08,400
so we did in the studio that it was originally

394
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:08,920
recorded with.

395
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,559
Speaker 8: The original engineer that recorded the original.

396
00:21:13,039 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: We did.

397
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 8: We could have fanned ourselves in front.

398
00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:20,799
Speaker 2: Of them anymore situation, yea. So we tuck tail and

399
00:21:20,839 --> 00:21:22,720
we went. We drove all the way back to New Hampshire.

400
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,680
In our hearse there's a story about paying the band

401
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,240
the engineering change story for a year older. But yeah,

402
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,000
we get we make it back and then we get

403
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,079
stranded on the mountain in the winter time up here. Yeah,

404
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,200
so anyways we uh recomposed that song. Yeah, while we're

405
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:43,960
living in a tenth wow side of.

406
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 8: The mountain, would couldn't would stay warm?

407
00:21:48,039 --> 00:21:50,039
Speaker 2: And then we went to uh, we went to uh

408
00:21:50,519 --> 00:21:52,279
we recorded that with Chuck melching down.

409
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 8: Chul in Newmarket where I got kicked out of the

410
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:55,880
first grade.

411
00:21:56,559 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: So Father Winter was recorded here in New Hampshire and

412
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,000
the last, last last track on the album. Okay, So

413
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,640
I know it's a lot of discon convoluted story, but

414
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,160
all ties into a big theme.

415
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're from a movie.

416
00:22:09,279 --> 00:22:13,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a movie, or at least a really uh seedy,

417
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,240
grainy YouTube video.

418
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 8: So porn you're just started. Do you what your role is?

419
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 2: By like, man, I'm hovered on the button.

420
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, anyway, by the way, I do have to

421
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:30,839
ask why did you get kicked out of the first grade?

422
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 2: Oh boy, this is glorious, is it?

423
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:33,440

426
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:36,799
Speaker 8: It's really it's not that good.

427
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:37,799
Speaker 4: So I was.

428
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 8: I was in military brat my birthdays in October when

00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:54,519
and it came back to the US and they let

434
00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:56,319
me start the first grade. And then they realized they

435
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,599
didn't meet the age requirement. They sent me home with

436
00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:02,799
a note pinned to my shirt telling me that I

437
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,759
was not allowed to come back anymore. I was I

438
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,119

439
00:23:07,519 --> 00:23:08,839
Speaker 5: Oh wow, yeah so.

440
00:23:11,519 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, and then I was traumatized after that.

Speaker 5: Yeah, I can imagine. Wow. Well on that note, whytn

444
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,720

445
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:27,039

00:23:27,079 --> 00:23:30,519

448
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:35,559
about this one if she wants. But this is we're

449
00:23:35,559 --> 00:23:37,799
gonna do a song called starting Over. And if you're old,

450
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:39,920
if you're you're old enough to have had to.

451
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,599
Speaker 3: Do this before you, So I'll tell you this song is.

452
00:23:43,519 --> 00:23:46,599
Speaker 8: We released it as a demo version on Backwards down Hill,

453
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,640
so there is a B side out there. It's a

454
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,880
demo and I recorded it in southern California, And the

455
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,839
reason why we had to come to New Hampshire recorded

456
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:54,680
is because when I recorded and sound in New Hampshire,

457
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:57,200
I didn't realize till we got back here that was

458
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,000
Statton Nova. I was like, what, like, I'm not I

459
00:24:01,039 --> 00:24:02,960
haven't lived in New Hampshire since Ye, this is where

460
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:03,720
I learned how to speak.

461
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:04,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

462
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 8: Since, So I had to come back to New Hampshire

463
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,359
so I could re record it, Chuck Melchin, and so

464
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,319
I could start over, stop starting over. But the one

465
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,880
that's on the internet right now, I'm stopping over. So

466
00:24:19,039 --> 00:24:21,480
and then the other side of this story song is

467
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,759
the internet version is explicit.

468
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:25,279
Speaker 11: We won't do the explicit.

469
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 5: Version today, thank you.

470
00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,279
Speaker 8: But it's a beautiful song about starting over and if

471
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:33,400
you're gonna, you know, do it, you might as well

472
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,440
do it big. So the F word is all through it.

473
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 5: Oh, I said, yeah, but not but not this one.

474
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,640
Well we're on an eight second to La slip it happens.

00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,200
I don't know where I'm going.

481
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 10: It's journey out of it.

482
00:25:22,599 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 3: And I don't know where I'm going, just that I

00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,720
in maze. There's at least somewhere for.

Speaker 5: I love it. The Stiff Tones live in studio. That

518
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:15,000
is so good. Rachel here with us. Yeah, oh that's okay,

519
00:29:15,079 --> 00:29:19,440
no worries, no worries. No, you sound amazing. Is this now?

520
00:29:19,519 --> 00:29:21,640
Is this the earliest in that Is this the earliest

521
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,799
in the day that you've sung in a long time?

522
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:24,079
Speaker 1: Yeah?

523
00:29:24,119 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 2: Probably?

524
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

525
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah?

526
00:29:26,599 --> 00:29:29,519
Speaker 5: Is that is that different? Or because you know, sometimes

527
00:29:29,599 --> 00:29:31,559
somebody will will come in and they'll perform and they'll

528
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:34,400
say it's it's unusual, like they feel like they sound

529
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,000
different or something, And for a lot of people they

530
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:38,000
don't notice any difference.

531
00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:42,799
Speaker 8: But I think I'm a two pack a day reform smoker.

532
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:43,079
Speaker 7: Yeah.

533
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:46,759
Speaker 2: Some days I get up and like I'm feeling I'm

534
00:29:46,759 --> 00:29:51,119
sound a little rough this Morning track something yeah, and

535
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,359
she's like, well, it's you sound like Rover on the recording.

536
00:29:57,279 --> 00:29:58,759
Speaker 8: My biggest issue is just comfort.

537
00:29:59,279 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

538
00:30:00,279 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 8: They have really bad stage, right, and then get in

539
00:30:02,559 --> 00:30:04,839
my head and then yeah, yeah, they'll start getting tight

540
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:06,640
and pitchy, and then I start sweating and I'm like,

541
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:07,279
I don't know.

542
00:30:07,359 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: Whole thing is just like if i get nervous on stage,

543
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,920
it looks like I'm doing methapheta means I start sweating.

544
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,200
I'm going like really yeah, yeah, like speed racing through

545
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,720
my songs.

546
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,559
Speaker 5: Oh wow, Yeah, it's crazy.

547
00:30:18,319 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 8: Doing something that you love so much but you're so

548
00:30:20,079 --> 00:30:20,559
scared to do.

549
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:21,359
Speaker 2: Like that's true.

550
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, I used to play in bands, and you know,

551
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:25,200
for me, the way it would always works, I'd be

552
00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,240
nervous right before, but then once I was on stage.

553
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,359
Speaker 8: Yeah, you can get in it, then you're good.

554
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:31,359
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, exactly.

555
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:33,359
Speaker 8: Like you're up there and you've got like one person

556
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,000
just sitting there staring at you and you're like yeah yeah,

557
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:37,559
or if it's somebody that you know.

558
00:30:37,799 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 5: But there's value in that too, right, Because on the

559
00:30:40,319 --> 00:30:43,039
one hand, yeah, it's you know, you feel that anxiety

560
00:30:43,079 --> 00:30:44,960
and whatnot. Sometimes in the moment, you might wish you

561
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:46,960
didn't feel that, But then again, if that went away,

562
00:30:47,519 --> 00:30:49,440
wouldn't that also be kind of a bummer, because then

563
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,759
you'd start to question, like, is this is this no

564
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,720
longer exciting?

565
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,119
Speaker 8: That's what I learned about is tell yourself, it's not anxiety,

566
00:30:56,319 --> 00:30:58,440
this is this is not me being afraid, This is

567
00:30:58,599 --> 00:31:02,079
me being excited. I feel that emotion. You know, other

568
00:31:02,119 --> 00:31:04,359
people tell you that that's that's fear that you're feeling

569
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:05,920
that way, but they're not in your meat too, they

570
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,759
don't actually know what you're feeling, right exactly, you get

571
00:31:08,799 --> 00:31:13,480
to say that this moment, I'm not afraid, I'm excited excited. Yeah,

572
00:31:13,759 --> 00:31:15,680
and I'm worried that I might do it wrong, but

573
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,319
I'm gonna have so much fun that it's okay. Yeah,

574
00:31:17,319 --> 00:31:20,359
I'm gonna be have more fun than I'm gonna be scared.

575
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 5: It's ultimately, it's a good kind of nervous, you know.

576
00:31:22,799 --> 00:31:26,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, psych yourself, lie, lie until you believe.

577
00:31:26,039 --> 00:31:29,319
Speaker 5: It, right, Yeah, exactly, exactly.

578
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, And that what they're teaching is now these days

579
00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:33,039
and you.

580
00:31:33,079 --> 00:31:35,799
Speaker 5: Said, Rachel, you said you used to be a smoker. Yes,

581
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,440
how do you quit? I'm curious because I'm a hypnotherapist,

582
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,480
I help people quit smoking. So whenever someone tells me

583
00:31:40,519 --> 00:31:41,759
they used to be a smoker, I'm like, oh, how'd

584
00:31:41,759 --> 00:31:42,039
you quit?

585
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 8: Well, first of all, I was a nurse for eighteen years,

586
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,440
and so there would be many and I was icy

587
00:31:47,559 --> 00:31:49,440
nurse and a dialysis nurse, so there'd be many shifts

588
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,119
that I would go twelve to eighteen hours without being

589
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:54,160
able to smoke. So I've got some pretty good control

590
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:56,799
over stuff when I have control, but I also have

591
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,240
an inability or ability to have no control.

592
00:31:59,400 --> 00:31:59,599
Speaker 2: Yeah.

593
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:04,279
Speaker 8: Being said, when we started doing running around the country,

594
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,319
smoking as expensive, and I smoked mentals and my throat

595
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:11,359
started burning a lot. And then so we started smoking

596
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,400
his cigarettes to save money, and we would share because

597
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,039
I didn't smoke quite as much. And then we started

598
00:32:16,039 --> 00:32:17,799
smoking a loose leave and we were smoking out of

599
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,640
a pipe because it was just even that cheaper, And

600
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,480
it got down to the point where we were literally

601
00:32:22,519 --> 00:32:24,880
smoking the equivalent of three cigarettes a day between the

602
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,359
two of us out of a pipe. So it's messy,

603
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:32,200
it stinks only sometimes, but it wasn't nearly as pleasurable

604
00:32:32,319 --> 00:32:34,680
as we wanted it to be. As we remembered it

605
00:32:34,759 --> 00:32:37,079
being when we first started smoking, and so you guys

606
00:32:37,119 --> 00:32:38,599
to the point that you were like, why are you

607
00:32:39,039 --> 00:32:40,839
What we did is we went to we went to California.

608
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 10: Yeah, I bought an ounce.

609
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,119
Speaker 8: We for like forty dollars. We bought two of three, And.

610
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,759
Speaker 2: I thought, every time I'm gonna every time I crave

611
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,799
a tobacco, I'm gonna have my pre roll up here

612
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:53,160
and I'm just gonna smoke until I need to lay down.

613
00:32:53,319 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 5: There you go, And I did.

614
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 2: About about a day into this process, I'm like, I'm

615
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,000
pretty good. Yeah.

616
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 14: Then you know, then I'm having crazy occasionally, but you know,

617
00:33:03,279 --> 00:33:04,640
once in a while, I'll be like, oh yeah, somebody's

618
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,599
near us, and I'll take a job office because I

619
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:08,720
still like the you know, it's pretty much not enough

620
00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:10,240
to smoke against it.

621
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:10,799
Speaker 1: Yeah.

622
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,079
Speaker 8: If I lived to seventy.

623
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: Five, yeah, we're firing backyard.

624
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,319
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, maybe that long seventy five.

625
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,559
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, make it seventy five back again.

626
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:19,799
Speaker 5: Yeah.

627
00:33:21,759 --> 00:33:21,799
Speaker 1: No.

628
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,519
Speaker 5: The thing is, though, like you were saying, once you

629
00:33:23,599 --> 00:33:25,359
get down now, like if you're smoking the equivalent of

630
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,759
three cigarettes a day, it's like two of us, Like

631
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:29,839
they were like, what are you doing?

632
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:30,119
Speaker 2: Man?

633
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah. At that point, it's like, yeah, you might

634
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:33,640
as well just be done with it.

635
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:34,039
Speaker 4: Yeah.

636
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:37,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, did you notice, like without smoking, did it change

637
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,519
your like for either of you? Did it to change

638
00:33:40,559 --> 00:33:41,880
your voices or yeah?

639
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,359
Speaker 2: Gain twenty really yeah, and so I feel I feel

640
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,160
like my voice is husky right now that it used

641
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:48,319
to be.

642
00:33:48,559 --> 00:33:51,799
Speaker 5: Oh really, I don't think for sure, but possibly. Oh

643
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:53,319
that's interesting.

644
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,599
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, I haven't really noticed by different.

645
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 7: Yeah.

646
00:33:56,039 --> 00:33:59,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm most curious about that too. Yeah. Well, do

647
00:33:59,559 --> 00:34:01,000
you want to you want to play another one for

648
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,200
the almost.

649
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,359
Speaker 2: At the end of the album like these times and

650
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:09,039
then give them just sure? Yeah, because I mean we

651
00:34:09,119 --> 00:34:11,239
didn't have a game you Yeah.

652
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, So it's good to keep it loose for this show.

653
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,800
That's kind of how we do it anyway.

654
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 8: We never run with a set list, we try.

655
00:34:17,199 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, well, not not being chained to a set

656
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,000
list that gives you some flexibility too, because you can

657
00:34:24,079 --> 00:34:25,639
kind of read the room and kind of figure out

658
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,119
what you think people might want to hear and just

659
00:34:27,199 --> 00:34:28,840
what the vibe is, you know. Yeah.

660
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:32,760
Speaker 8: Well, unfortunately for him, I only knew a handful of

661
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:35,599
songs because I was raised not allowed listening to secular

662
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,239

00:41:20,679 --> 00:41:23,880

Speaker 8: Yeah. Yeah, So in twenty sixteen it kind of really

739
00:41:35,199 --> 00:41:38,159
ping got to paper and I was up here in

740
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,000
twenty twenty when or during the COVID in twenty twenty

741
00:41:42,039 --> 00:41:44,280
when we really you know, you started really seeing the

742
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:47,079
polarity in the country where you know, like in polarity

743
00:41:47,159 --> 00:41:49,199
being everything, if there's something for us to stand against

744
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:53,079
each other as regular folks all and yeah, yeah, we

745
00:41:53,199 --> 00:41:55,039
keep picking the wrong Yeah, we keep picking the wrong

746
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:59,719
person to fight with. But anyway, and so twenty twenty

747
00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:02,559

us with the mixing in the final.

760
00:42:30,519 --> 00:42:32,639
Speaker 2: Engineering, we kind of went around the country getting all

761
00:42:32,639 --> 00:42:34,519
of our friends together to record all the different parts.

762
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 8: The North Carolina favorites on there. We have Illinois people

763
00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:39,960
on there. Yeah, anywhere we could.

764
00:42:40,039 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: It's been recording in the garages and basements and caves

765
00:42:43,159 --> 00:42:46,079
and Tanya the car. Yes, it might be the first

766
00:42:46,119 --> 00:42:48,079
album ever have tracks recorded in hearst. I don't know

767
00:42:48,159 --> 00:42:51,119
for sure, but because I mean it should be the

768
00:42:51,159 --> 00:42:52,480
stiff tones, I mean, I guess.

769
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:55,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I mean, there was enough Bruce sessions in

770
00:42:55,320 --> 00:43:00,000
there trying to burn and listening to right right anyway,

771
00:43:01,519 --> 00:43:02,280
how are we on time?

772
00:43:02,519 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 6: We're good, We're good.

773
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 5: We got probably probably do one more in a couple

774
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,400
of minutes. I'm curious. So in terms of like I said,

775
00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:10,960
you know, because we talked about it a little bit earlier,

776
00:43:11,039 --> 00:43:13,440
this is such an unconventional approach, you know, travel in

777
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,360
the country and ahearson and so forth and doing this.

778
00:43:16,159 --> 00:43:19,360
Is there anything that's really surprised you over these over

779
00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,480
these years, this news.

780
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:26,199
Speaker 2: Is a bunch of yeah, yes, that to answer your question, absolutely,

781
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:30,760
you know, I thought, my god, California is crazy and

782
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:32,079
we're gonna get there and it's gonna be all this

783
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,360
these things and see on the news, right, it wasn't

784
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,000
any of those things, right, thought the same thing about Texas.

785
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,039
You know, oh god, Texas is going to be this

786
00:43:40,119 --> 00:43:41,840
way in South Code. I can name every state that

787
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,559
we have and every place that we've been, and you

788
00:43:44,599 --> 00:43:46,440
think it's going to be a way and you're like, wow,

789
00:43:46,639 --> 00:43:48,360
you know what, people are just people in here.

790
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,599
Speaker 8: So but then also the other thing though, was that

791
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,679
each individual state really is so individual. It's a contrary line.

792
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,920
It really like things that you know, the landscape shift,

793
00:44:00,119 --> 00:44:02,320
that the culture shifts, you know, And that's the other

794
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,559
thing that is seeing all of the different cultural differences

795
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,599
just in even traditional rural America, you know, where you

796
00:44:10,639 --> 00:44:14,400
don't think that you have that culture, and there's so

797
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:19,880
much the eclectics, the melting pot of it, like the beauty,

798
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,320
the true, true raw beauty of what America the beautiful

799
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,480
is melting pot.

800
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, that you can go.

801
00:44:26,679 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 8: Anywhere everywhere here and see also the wonders of the world.

802
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,800
I mean, we've been traveling for a couple of years now,

803
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,320
and we scratch the surface, yea.

804
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 2: But mostly the most surprising thing for me is, honestly

805
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,159
is the fact that no matter how far you travel,

806
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,440
where you go once and needs of people doesn't change, right.

807
00:44:44,519 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 8: Right, the regular people like us, us people. Yeah, we're

808
00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,519
just regular people.

809
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:49,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

810
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's beautiful and it's good to know. There's so

811
00:44:54,079 --> 00:44:56,519
much fear that's created like that sponsors and there are

812
00:44:56,599 --> 00:44:59,239
there are they're legitimately bad people out there, yes, but

813
00:44:59,599 --> 00:45:03,760
there's legitimately good people out there. You seek, you will

814
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:05,440
find what you seek. So look for the good.

815
00:45:05,599 --> 00:45:06,079
Speaker 2: Be the good.

816
00:45:06,159 --> 00:45:07,760
Speaker 8: Do the good, you know, And if you I mean

817
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:09,159
or of being a whole, I don't care. You can

818
00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:10,360
be an a whole. It's not up to me. Just

819
00:45:10,519 --> 00:45:12,400
if you want to be one over there.

820
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,199
Speaker 2: Right, We have a we actually have a song for

821
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,079
that too, but that's that's on the album.

822
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,760
Speaker 8: We wrote that up here and we actually wrote that

823
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:20,920
Harley Jackson.

824
00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, very cool. And do you have any advice

825
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:28,159
for for people who not not necessarily want to buy hers,

846
00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:11,639
Speaker 5: Okay, and this is.

847
00:46:14,039 --> 00:46:16,800

Speaker 4: It is.

851
00:46:21,039 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 8: It's kind of we don't want to say it's a

852
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,239
concept album, but it kind of is kind of. We

853
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,760
have to plan each song and how they're going to

854
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:30,599
be in track order and different things that they weren't

855
00:46:30,599 --> 00:46:34,360
written in secession or anything. But the plan is for

856
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,039
you to put it on repeat all and when you

857
00:46:36,159 --> 00:46:38,639
get to the very last song, it should kick right

858
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,119
back to the first song and you should feel like

859
00:46:41,199 --> 00:46:42,880
you just went on a journey that you can't want

860
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,000
to go on again. Yeah, okay, that's that's kind of

861
00:46:46,079 --> 00:46:46,719
