1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't even want to talk over the end of it.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:02,480
That's so cool.

3
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,639

Speaker 3: Hello, Adam, Hey, how you guys doing good?

12
00:00:23,719 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Good?

13
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Welcome back? Last time we last time we talked to

14
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,440
was a couple of years ago, I think right two

15
00:00:29,559 --> 00:00:29,960
or three.

16
00:00:29,839 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: Years ago, twenty.

17
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,799
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty two. Wow.

18
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I love the new I love the new

19
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:40,320
material from the the EP, the self titled EP, and

20
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,320
Reach is the first single off of that.

21
00:00:43,439 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Correct, Yes sir, yes sir, Yeah, really good, really good.

22
00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:48,560
I love all of these.

23
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,479
Speaker 2: I listened everything that you sent us and just just

24
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,240
great stuff. Has the sound changed, I feel like it

25
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,280
might have changed a little bit from when we had

26
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,960
you on before, kind of evolved a bit.

27
00:01:01,079 --> 00:01:03,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we we've had a few different changes. So

28
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:06,480
we have a new drummer. He joined the band about

29
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,519
nine months ago. He's on this EP, and we now

30
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,879
have a new bass player too, but he's the bass

31
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:14,239
player that we had before is on the EP. But

32
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,840
we have a new bass player now that's joined and

33
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,439
they're gonna play our first show with us October fifth

34
00:01:18,439 --> 00:01:23,599
and Evansville, Indiana. But but yes, yes, definitely, it evolved

35
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:25,760
in you know, and and playing it, playing it live,

36
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,640
and then and then working on it and then having

37
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,239
Corey being able to do two different tracks on it.

38
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,079
Actually we were able to go to Loud and Clear

39
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,079
Studios in Kentucky and do it with a real producer, Shelby,

40
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:38,560
and he did a great job and we were you know,

41
00:01:38,599 --> 00:01:40,840
we were able to do those five songs in two days.

42
00:01:41,359 --> 00:01:43,959
So we were really happy with you know, him being

43
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,319
able to you know it. Really we were ready, you know,

44
00:01:46,359 --> 00:01:48,120
we were really ready to go and record him. But

45
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:50,680
at the same time, you know, the atmosphere was just

46
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,079
so nice and comfortable for us when we it was

47
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,319
like being it was like being at our practice studio

48
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:57,359
where we went to records, So it was nice.

49
00:01:57,439 --> 00:01:58,599
Speaker 1: Oh that's fantastic.

50
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: I'm curious to hear more about that because obviously because

51
00:02:01,519 --> 00:02:04,840
you guys are Chicago based correct.

52
00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:06,079
Speaker 3: Oh no, we're actually Southern Illinois.

53
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: Oh, southern Illinois.

54
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: Oh so you're not that far from Okay, I was

55
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:13,879
thinking more Chicago area. So so actually, so to go

56
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,840
from there to Kentucky, it's not that that much of

57
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:16,360
a haul.

58
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 3: No, it's it was to where we recorded. It was

59
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,879
only a little over an hour from where I lived.

60
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Oh okay, okay.

61
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I'm curious to know more about that, your

62
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,680
experience at that studio and the producer that you worked with,

63
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,879
because you've got so many options now, as you know,

64
00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:36,319
in terms of recording, there's there's a million recording studios,

65
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
you can record at home, There's so many different ways

66
00:02:38,599 --> 00:02:40,280
you can do it. So but it sounds like you

67
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,759
really enjoyed your experience recording at that particular.

68
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,199
Speaker 3: Studio most definitely. I mean, honestly, we were able to

69
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,560
stay there also, and so you know, it was a

70
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,919
two day experience where the whole band we stayed there,

71
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:56,360
we recorded, we were able to do the scratch tracks

72
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,000
all live together, and then we're able to go back

73
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,080
in on the you know set and being able to

74
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:03,879
get I mean, honestly, we were only going to do

75
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,199
a four song EP to begin with, but it went

76
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,240
so well and everything was like I mean happening like

77
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:11,599
magic magically, I would have to have to say it

78
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,919
that way, because honestly, on the ball, I did two

79
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,039
vocal tracks for each song and we literally I didn't

80
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,240
have to go back and redo anything. We were really ready,

81
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,159
you know, we practiced, We were ready for the studio times.

82
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,240
So you know, when you pay for the time, you

83
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,120
know you want to make sure that you capitalize on it.

84
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:30,400
So when we got done with the first four, we

85
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,000
still had enough time where Shelby was like, Hey, if

86
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:35,840
you guys want to do a fifth song, you gotta

87
00:03:35,879 --> 00:03:37,560
to let me know now. We need to get it done,

88
00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:40,639
and so we did. We chose to do River, which

89
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:42,240
was the fifth song on the album. Which is that

90
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,120
ended up being an eight minute, twenty three second song.

91
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's great, I want to do another song.

92
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: So you had to seize the opportunity.

93
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, most definitely. You know, River was the song

94
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:01,960
that started ever really. You know, ever Felt began with

95
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,159
my best friend Charles Lingerfeldt, who passed away in twenty

96
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,719
twenty one. We had a band called Angerfelt before then,

97
00:04:08,759 --> 00:04:10,479
and his last name is linger Felt, so I wanted

98
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,240
him to be forever Felt in the music that we do,

99
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:17,560
and River was his original melody, so you know, that

100
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,839
song was really important to us as a band. So yeah,

101
00:04:20,879 --> 00:04:22,199
so it was really cool to put him on the

102
00:04:22,199 --> 00:04:25,240
first EP, put his song on there, So that makes sense.

103
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,399
Speaker 1: I mean how prepared?

104
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,399
Speaker 2: I mean, did you guys in order to be really

105
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:35,040
prepared for this experience, because when you're going into a

106
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,480
studio and it's, like you said, you're paying for the time,

107
00:04:38,519 --> 00:04:41,160
so you want to be efficient, but of course you

108
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:43,519
also want to get the best possible performance that you can.

109
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,720
So were you guys like rehearsing like five nights a

110
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:48,639
week leading up to when you went to the studio.

111
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,120
I mean that must have been intense. I mean, what

112
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:50,680
was that like?

113
00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:53,639
Speaker 3: We played Since the last time I talked to you,

114
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:57,240
we've played eighteen shows. Oh wow, okay, well, you know,

115
00:04:57,319 --> 00:05:01,399
also playing those you know, playing those songs. So we practiced,

116
00:05:02,439 --> 00:05:04,800
We kept our normal practices, but we practiced, you know,

117
00:05:05,319 --> 00:05:09,199
every Sunday. We practice every Sunday, so we practice every Sunday.

118
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,079
Plus we had a couple of shows right before, so

119
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,800
really it was more of just having two really you know,

120
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,000
six hour practices, really honing in on what we wanted

121
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120
to do and being ready to go there. And when

122
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160
I do the vocals, I mean when I practice vocals,

123
00:05:23,199 --> 00:05:25,680
I practice at home too. You can't and being if

124
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,160
you really want to do this and be good at it,

125
00:05:27,199 --> 00:05:30,480
you can't just practice at practice, and so you also

126
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,439
have to practice at home. And so I even like

127
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,800
when I do the vocals, I practiced my vocals all

128
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,920
compelled without even the music at home. So you know,

129
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,079
we really that's how well I know the songs, you

130
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,439
know what I mean? So when you really so when

131
00:05:43,439 --> 00:05:45,800
we had that opportunity and we had no idea that

132
00:05:45,879 --> 00:05:47,800
going there, that Shelby was going to be such a

133
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,279
cool dude, and and and and really made us feel

134
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:53,600
very at home, like it felt like a home situation.

135
00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:56,160
I don't know how it's to describe that, but it

136
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:58,600
really made us feel like we could just be ourselves.

137
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,480
And so that allowed us to just really let go

138
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,079
and just let the music do what it needed to

139
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,759
do to you know, take us to that place to

140
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,120
channel what you hear on the EP.

141
00:06:07,319 --> 00:06:10,319
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, well that makes a huge difference. I mean,

142
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800
I know from my own experience with recording, there's nothing

143
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,319
worse than if you go to a studio and you've

144
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,160
got a limited amount of time and you're dealing with

145
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,560
an engineer or a producer who's maybe a little grumpy

146
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,519
or maybe they just you know, they're just not the

147
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,079
friendliest because to them it's just a job. But it

148
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,439
sounds like with Shelby, like he really he really cares

149
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,160
about what he's doing and goes out of his way

150
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,120
to make it feel comfortable.

151
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,759
Speaker 3: So that's great, he really did.

152
00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:35,879
Speaker 1: Man, what's the name of that studio again?

153
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:38,879
Speaker 3: That's Loud and Clear Studios in Paducah, Kentucky.

154
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 2: Okay, And how did you find how did you find

155
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,439
that studio? Like what went into because obviously you had

156
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,439
no way of knowing for sure that it was going

157
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,759
to be such a great experience. What went into choosing

158
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,720
that studio, because again, you have so many different options

159
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:53,639
these days.

160
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: Well, I actually was we were trying to find a

161
00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,639
studio that was, you know, budget friendly, but also that

162
00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,040
had had a good you know track record with our

163
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,360
kind of music in a sense. Yeah, but also we

164
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,319
were looking for something that was within a two hour

165
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:10,480
drive of us. Without having that way, you know, we

166
00:07:10,519 --> 00:07:12,360
didn't know if we'd find a place we could stay at,

167
00:07:12,439 --> 00:07:14,240
but we did. But We didn't know that, you know,

168
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,920
so in case we did have to travel back home

169
00:07:16,959 --> 00:07:18,720
for whatever reason, we didn't know how long it would take.

170
00:07:18,759 --> 00:07:21,199
We didn't know a lot of those things. So yeah,

171
00:07:21,199 --> 00:07:23,480
so we were definitely wanting to find something within driving distance,

172
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,839
but also somebody who you know. And then when I

173
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:27,959
got a hold of him, his rates were great and

174
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480
he was, you know, just like you could just tell

175
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,279
his energy was you know, he cared about what he does. Yeah,

176
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:35,040
and there is that it's his name involved with. He

177
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,319
cares about the music itself and that matters well.

178
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:41,439
Speaker 2: It shows too in the final product. Did he do

179
00:07:41,519 --> 00:07:43,160
the master in as well or did you have to

180
00:07:43,199 --> 00:07:44,120
take that somewhere else?

181
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 3: No, we wanted him to do the mixing, no mastering,

182
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,480
since he recorded it, you know, we felt that be

183
00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:51,600
the best fluid way to do it.

184
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, that's excellent, excellent.

185
00:07:55,439 --> 00:07:58,319
Speaker 2: Now the uh, do you have more music that you're

186
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:00,800
that you're working on, because I assume you additional songs

187
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,279
that you play live, right.

188
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,519
Speaker 3: Oh, definitely, yes, sir. So we actually have those five.

189
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,800
We actually have another thirteen songs. Oh okay, yeah, But

190
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,399
what the plan is is, I don't know what time

191
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,079
next year, yet. But next year we're gonna be working

192
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,480
with Shelle Beegan and we're gonna be doing our first album.

193
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,399
And so what's gonna happen is we're gonna take the

194
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:22,399
five songs from the EP remaster and with the new

195
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:25,000
bass player a couple other things we want to remaster

196
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,480
on them on those songs, and then an additional seven songs.

197
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:31,839
So it's gonna be twelve song album. Oh, We're gonna

198
00:08:31,839 --> 00:08:34,440
be released in next year. So we just wanted to

199
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,039
get the EP out there with the new drummer and

200
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,039
really have something that we can, you know, have let

201
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,440
the people here while we're working on shows behind the scenes,

202
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,399
and then also you know, an album too. So and

203
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,879
then November tenth, we're actually working with Rudwood Creative to

204
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,519
create our first official music video for Reach.

205
00:08:50,799 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: Oh excellent.

206
00:08:52,639 --> 00:08:54,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, so we're we're really excited about that.

207
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Do you already have the concept and everything?

208
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,519
Are you still in the process of figuring that out?

209
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 3: We have some of the concept. You know, Reach is

210
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,039
really about, you know, we've all been found broken alone

211
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:08,440
in that hole, reaching out and in that desolate place

212
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,639
you find that that it's in that place where you

213
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,919
realize that in order to truly reach out, you must

214
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,960
first reach in and then so it's it's philosophical, but

215
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,399
you know, the idea is like almost like the concept

216
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000
and theme of the music video is almost like the

217
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,080
light you see when you're reaching through the dirt of

218
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,200
a buried grave. You know, the first light you see

219
00:09:28,279 --> 00:09:29,879
is the very light at the end of the music

220
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,879
video that brings us all together as a band, or

221
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,559
that kind of concept. So we're going with that, but

222
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,080
it's also going to be like in the Woods and

223
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,480
the dude. The dude Trey Rudd from Rudwood Creative. He

224
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:46,120
actually is somebody that we found through Shelby and he's

225
00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:48,519
really good. He's also based in Kentucky, but we've seen

226
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,919
some of the work and the videos he's done. So yeah,

227
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:53,080
it's gonna be like a six hour video shoot that

228
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,399
we're going to do on November tenth.

229
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: Oh fantastic. Yeah, I feel like it's so important too

230
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,600
to do to do music video, which to some people,

231
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,080
to people who don't know that might sound odd in

232
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,559
the year twenty twenty four because I forget who We

233
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,039
were talking about this recently on the show, but we're

234
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,559
talking with someone about how some people have a misperception

235
00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:15,200
that there are no music videos anymore because you know,

236
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,240
MTV doesn't play music videos anymore or VH one or anything.

237
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,679
But actually, because of YouTube, I would say music videos

238
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,840
are more important than they've ever been because it's something

239
00:10:23,879 --> 00:10:26,039
that you can really use to promote your music, to

240
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,919
share out on social media and all of that.

241
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: Because you know, attention span is so because of the

242
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:36,159
advent of social media and phones, attention spans like next

243
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,279
to nothing. And so because of that, you know, you

244
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,799
really want to have those captivating images that get people

245
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,440
to keep listening. And so that's the reason for the videos,

246
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,960
you know, Yeah, you know, and honestly, I see why.

247
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,240
I mean even myself. I mean, I'm sure you understand too.

248
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,720
You know, like it's easy to get there's so much

249
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:55,600
music out there. You really want to try to find

250
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,759
a way to create your own path, Yeah, and without

251
00:10:59,799 --> 00:11:01,720
try trying to do that, you can't really try to

252
00:11:01,759 --> 00:11:04,360
do that, you and you just have to let it,

253
00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:06,840
you know, Like for instance, with our music, with Corey

254
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:10,440
and Jacob and I writing this music, I have to say,

255
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,519
like it kind of in a sense happens to us

256
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,240
because we allow the music to create and write the

257
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,039
songs and so, you know, and then we just we

258
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,480
allow whatever whatever happens to us as we're working on

259
00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:23,519
it to you know, we record that, we come back,

260
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,919
we whittle that down. So it's really just something that

261
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,799
kind of writes itself through us, as long as we're

262
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:30,000
allowing ourselves to be the channel for the music instead

263
00:11:30,039 --> 00:11:31,200
of trying to control it too much.

264
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I like that. I like that.

265
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, something we talk a lot on the show about

266
00:11:37,799 --> 00:11:40,919
as well with with our guests, as the process of

267
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,639
creating and writing. And I think the you know, from

268
00:11:44,639 --> 00:11:46,480
my own experience, I think the best way is when

269
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:49,879
you're not trying to force it to You're not saying, Okay,

270
00:11:49,879 --> 00:11:51,639
we're going to try to make this sound like this,

271
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:55,159
or we want to sound like that, but rather just

272
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,519
kind of letting it be organic and letting it kind

273
00:11:57,519 --> 00:11:59,279
of as you describe it, which I think is great,

274
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,960
letting it kind of have come through you.

275
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 3: Yes, exactly.

276
00:12:02,919 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so that's that's great.

277
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: At this point, are you all it sounds like the

278
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:08,879
whole band rights together.

279
00:12:09,039 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: Is that is that accurate? Yes?

280
00:12:10,879 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, we we write together a lot of times,

281
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:16,919
like with with the five songs in the EP. For instance,

282
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
you know, the original melody of River obviously came from Charlie,

283
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,879
my buddy that passed, but yeah, we turned it into

284
00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,519
something completely you know, its own, forever felt, you know,

285
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,080
but the original melody came from him. But Jacob really

286
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,799
worked on that, and Jacob brought a rhythm guitarist. He

287
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,080
brought into the fire, the original rift for into the

288
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,480
fire and gave it away. He brought those songs to

289
00:12:37,519 --> 00:12:40,320
the table, and then the other ones Reach and Lie

290
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,600
and and and River were all that we kind of

291
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,600
came up together. Corey brought Reach, you know, the original Reach,

292
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,720
but a lot of the newer stuff that you're going

293
00:12:47,759 --> 00:12:49,679
to be hearing on the album is stuff that Corey

294
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,759
brought to the table. He would he has this terrible,

295
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,399
crazy habit of he'll he'll write a rift that he loves.

296
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,480
He'll be at home and he tries to call me

297
00:12:58,519 --> 00:12:59,799
and play it for me over the phone.

298
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:00,919
Speaker 1: Yeah.

299
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,799
Speaker 3: I can't ever understand hardly any of it. But by

300
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,519
the time we get to the studio, I mean, by

301
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,120
the time we get to the studio to work on it,

302
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,840
you know, it's just and it's it's really kind of

303
00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:13,519
crazy too. Sometimes Corey will he'll write a rift for

304
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,039
a song and he'll just kind of just tell me

305
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,960
the words that come to him when he wrote it,

306
00:13:18,159 --> 00:13:21,960
like the concept and the theme for instance, and I'll

307
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,159
just go with that, and so it just, you know,

308
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:28,519
it just depends. But yeah, a lot of our creative

309
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,759
process is really bringing whatever rift or whatever we're doing

310
00:13:31,799 --> 00:13:34,879
to the table and freestyle creating right then and there.

311
00:13:34,919 --> 00:13:37,120
And while we're freestyle and we record what we're doing,

312
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,799
and I'll try all these various different focal patterns and

313
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,960
whatever the music naturally makes me talk about. Yeah, when

314
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,320
I'm singing is what the song ends up being about.

315
00:13:46,399 --> 00:13:49,720
So I want to I literally literally want to allow

316
00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:52,080
the music, whatever the music makes me do, to allow

317
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,840
it to take it to the direction of the song.

318
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,799
So that way it's all fluid, you know, and right

319
00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:59,639
right and and really it is. It is kind of

320
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,679
a chance when you really allow yourself to be captured

321
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,679
by the music, it can really allow it through you.

322
00:14:03,759 --> 00:14:07,480
What I mean. Sometimes when that happens, I have a

323
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:11,559
hard time reproducing it really. Yeah, yeah, you know what

324
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,039
I mean, Like you go back and you're like, man

325
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,360
that you listen to the recording, You're like, how did

326
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,639
we do? How did we actually do that? Like, and

327
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,360
then you have to try to go back and remember

328
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:22,720
you know sometimes when you really get lost in it,

329
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,039
you know, right right, Yeah, And that's that's the beauty

330
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,159
of it, you know, that's really the beauty of music.

331
00:14:28,399 --> 00:14:30,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then the challenge of trying to find your

332
00:14:30,159 --> 00:14:34,240
way back to that magic moment. Yeah exactly, Yeah, I

333
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:38,639
know exactly what you mean. Uh do is there a theme?

334
00:14:38,879 --> 00:14:41,519
Do these songs have a through line on this EP?

335
00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,960
Because listening to them, I kind of feel like I

336
00:14:45,159 --> 00:14:47,399
couldn't quite detect what it might be.

337
00:14:47,559 --> 00:14:48,799
Speaker 1: And maybe there isn't one.

338
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe I just perceive there possibly being a theme

339
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,919
because these songs fit together so well. But I'm curious,

340
00:14:57,039 --> 00:15:00,440
is there an overlying theme to to the EP?

341
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, So every song on the EP, from Reached

342
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:06,639
End of the Fire to River to Gave It Away,

343
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,440
they all have to do with the various themes that

344
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,120
we all face as a human race, Like they all

345
00:15:12,159 --> 00:15:14,639
have to do with like, for instance, Gave It Away

346
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,840
is about you know, being willing to sacrifice even when

347
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,320
no one else sees it, for the thing you love,

348
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,440
you know, into the fires, being willing to brave the

349
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,039
fires of life to burn away the parts of you

350
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,919
that aren't you rivers about life. So for me, it's

351
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,320
really all about these philosophical themes that we all think

352
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,399
about and deal with on the daily basis. Yeah, really,

353
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,039
the that's really the overlying theme of everything that we

354
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,399
do as ever felt really. Yeah, as a writer, I

355
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440
published my first book in two thousand and four called

356
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,559
Winds of Perception Scratching the Surface. And even that was

357
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,320
a book of poetry where I really wanted to take

358
00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,039
my style of writing and address the various themes that

359
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,320
we face as humans and so in a philosophical way.

360
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,120
And so that's really really what it is, is about

361
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,440
getting in tune with oneself and becoming who you're really

362
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,000
supposed to be. That's that's really the the ideas, you know,

363
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,159
you know, even even when you're talking about and reach,

364
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,120
when you talk about the chorus bleeding out to keep

365
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,799
the mind new, what talking about there literally is I'm saying,

366
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,480
you know, everything's about the mind. You know, everything's about

367
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:16,399
people get caught in their head and they get caught

368
00:16:16,399 --> 00:16:18,080
in the mental of it, and they forget the soul.

369
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,159
And so your souls bleeding out just to concentrate on

370
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,759
the mind and so and to concentrate on and and

371
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,480
the things we worry about in life where we get

372
00:16:25,519 --> 00:16:27,840
caught in our head, you know, right, And so that's

373
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,159
really the the overlying theme is like learning how to

374
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,279
find oneself. Like the song Stranger is going to be

375
00:16:34,279 --> 00:16:36,399
on the album, it's really that that song, you know,

376
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,759
also is about, you know, realizing that the stranger that

377
00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:43,200
is within you is the real you. And so that's

378
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,759
the idea, is to shed all the chains and the

379
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,480
the preconceived notions that you were that were ingrained in

380
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,120
you when you were younger and really become the you

381
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,399
that you really are and what you're meant to be here,

382
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,679
you know. And so that's the overlying theme.

383
00:16:58,000 --> 00:16:58,879
Speaker 1: No, I like it.

384
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 2: You know what's cool all this too, is there's a

385
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:06,599
very positive message to it all. I mean, you can

386
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,559
really get a lot out of it. But it's interesting

387
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:13,599
because the sound of the band sort of the sort

388
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:17,240
of psychedelic but metal. I don't know exactly how you

389
00:17:17,279 --> 00:17:20,880
would describe it. You guys are unique, I think, but

390
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,519
but you almost if you didn't know and if you

391
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,640
didn't hear the lyrics, if you just heard the music,

392
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,359
you almost might think it was kind of a dark,

393
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,880
brooding thing, but there's some really positive messaging in the

394
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,960
lyrics and what these songs are about. And I think

395
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,839
that's really cool.

396
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:38,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we want to, you know, and thank you

397
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:41,039
very much for saying that, we want to relate to

398
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,119
the dark tunnel with our listeners that they are also

399
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,640
in or they've been in before. But we also talk

400
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,160
about the door we found. We also want to talk

401
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,440
about the light that we found within the darkness, because

402
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,039
the candle flame flicker is never so bright as in

403
00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:57,119
a dark room. So for that reason alone, that's the

404
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,799
reason why we bring that dark brooding sound, because you know,

405
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,960
in order truly you know, and and counter true light,

406
00:18:03,039 --> 00:18:04,640
you have to be willing to brave the darkness.

407
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I like it.

408
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,559
Speaker 2: I'm someone I struggle with depression and when I listen

409
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,880
to that song, when I listen to reach, you know,

410
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,359
that's I kind of it. It clicked with me, I

411
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,079
think for that reason, and so I was able to

412
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,079
take something from that that that's uh, you.

413
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: Know that I really like. I really like that song

414
00:18:25,039 --> 00:18:25,359
a lot.

415
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,319
Speaker 3: Thank you, man, I really appreciate that. Matt.

416
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, absolutely, absolutely what's your stage show, like, do

417
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,880
you guys have any kind of because you know, with

418
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,160
your sound it would lend itself to something kind of

419
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,440
dramatic or maybe not maybe maybe just do kind of

420
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,920
a you know, you just you just play. I don't know,

421
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:44,640
I mean, do you have any kind of any kind

422
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,359
of a stage show or or do you.

423
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 3: Just I mean, I will say this, We we definitely

424
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:52,880
put on a show. Yeah, yeah, all over the stage.

425
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,559
But uh, but we are just now working on the fog,

426
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,400
the lights, the we're actually working on with my new

427
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,640
bass player, we're working on an introduction and entire introduction

428
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,200
to our show before we come on stage. So we're

429
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,519
getting all of the extras together now for this next

430
00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:13,079
coming year. But honestly, I don't know if you've seen

431
00:19:13,079 --> 00:19:16,119
any of our live videos. I think you have. We

432
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,880
we get down. Yeah, I've seen a lot of bands

433
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,759
stand up there and just play. That's not what we

434
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,440
do right, right, And And I pride myself on really

435
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,279
being able to allow myself to truly become the channel

436
00:19:29,279 --> 00:19:33,599
on stage for the music and honestly hit every note,

437
00:19:33,599 --> 00:19:35,960
but get down and and and and that takes practice.

438
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,920
Like when I play on I practice at practice. It's

439
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,079
like I'm performing and I'll tell you what last last Sunday,

440
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:44,359
because we just had got this new bass player. So

441
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,680
it's been about a month now and he's gonna play

442
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,559
his first show with us on October fifth. But last

443
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,680
Sunday was our first like six hour practice where we

444
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,000
went through the set twice and and I gotta tell you,

445
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,759
I was hurting the next day, man, because we hadn't

446
00:19:57,839 --> 00:19:59,759
had like a you know, we had like a kind

447
00:19:59,799 --> 00:20:01,440
of a break there for like three weeks where we

448
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,400
didn't have a show or anything, and we didn't practice

449
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,960
because of other family stuff and all that. You know. Yeah,

450
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,559
but but yeah, yeah, so uh really excited to get

451
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:12,799
the new bass player because not only is he bringing

452
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:15,279
some awesome thump into the bass on some of our

453
00:20:15,319 --> 00:20:18,519
songs that we didn't have before, but also he's like

454
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,039
a whiz when it comes to like light and fog

455
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:22,039
and all this other stuff.

456
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: So good.

457
00:20:22,759 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 3: So yeah, so I'm super excited about that. He's gonna

458
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,119
We're working on a projector screen behind us instead of

459
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:29,559
a banner I trying to get.

460
00:20:29,799 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can imagine that with your music. I can

461
00:20:32,759 --> 00:20:33,960
imagine a projector's screen.

462
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, we want to we want to project some images

463
00:20:36,519 --> 00:20:39,079
and yeah, and uh and really take people on that

464
00:20:39,279 --> 00:20:40,400
give him an experience, you know.

465
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,279
Speaker 1: Mm hmmm, hmm.

466
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,640
Speaker 2: Do you have to uh do you do anything to

467
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,039
take care of your voice, like uh, lemon or anything,

468
00:20:48,079 --> 00:20:50,759
because you you obviously with what you're doing.

469
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's pretty intense. Your vocals are pretty intense.

470
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 3: Thanks man. Yeah, yeah, uh so, honestly, I don't smoke.

471
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,119
Another one, good number two is I do breath work

472
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,359
and chakra work every day.

473
00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, okay.

474
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,279
Speaker 3: Yes, and so that's been something I've found that's totally

475
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:09,960
changed the whole game for me when it comes to

476
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,920
being ready for the stage and being able to hit

477
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,119
everything and do what I do. And also a workout

478
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,960
regiment is important twice a week. But on stage, I

479
00:21:20,079 --> 00:21:23,720
drink let me tell you what it is. On stage.

480
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:29,000
I don't drink alcohol. I do particulars in marijuana, but

481
00:21:29,079 --> 00:21:33,000
I do drink alcohol. Really, so I don't have alcohol

482
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,759
on stage, So I drink what does she do with

483
00:21:35,759 --> 00:21:38,400
my chakra tea?

484
00:21:39,079 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: But yeah, I've heard of that.

485
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:44,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I drink that on stage. And then I

486
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:46,279
also always have a blue Gator. I don't know what

487
00:21:46,319 --> 00:21:49,000
it is about the blue, the blue gatorade. But it's

488
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,359
really soothing if you need something to drink on stage

489
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:56,440
other than water. Yeah, anyone's listening to this. That's a singer. Oh,

490
00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:58,119
here it is. I don't know why she put in here.

491
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,720
I want it here. This is it's the organic throat

492
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,559
code is what it's called. It is made of slippery elm. Yeah, okay,

493
00:22:05,799 --> 00:22:09,160
slippery elm tee. So if if you do vocals where

494
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,279
you go back and forth between the heavy and the lights,

495
00:22:11,799 --> 00:22:13,359
this is really nice to have on stage.

496
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh, very cool, very cool. Yeah.

497
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean we have a lot of musicians who listen

498
00:22:16,559 --> 00:22:18,960
to the show, so that might be very helpful to someone.

499
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:20,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

500
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 2: That really caught my attention to what you were saying

501
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,200
about the breath work, because so I don't know if

502
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,000
you know anything about my background, but I'm also a

503
00:22:26,039 --> 00:22:29,319
hypnotherapist and I use a lot of breath work in

504
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,279
my sessions with my clients, so I know the value

505
00:22:32,319 --> 00:22:35,319
of that and all kinds of applications for it.

506
00:22:35,319 --> 00:22:36,519
Speaker 3: It's mind blowing.

507
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

508
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: People that are if you're if you're an artist in

509
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,240
anybody anyway, it don't matter what walk of life you're in.

510
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,480
Definitely look into the chakra and breath work is very important,

511
00:22:46,839 --> 00:22:49,519
the chanting, all of that I do. I do it

512
00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:51,200
every day. I have a forty minute drive to work

513
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,799
in the morning, so I do it every day on

514
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,119
my way to work. The breath work. They don't do

515
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,640
much meditation then, but be a little dangerous, right. But

516
00:23:01,759 --> 00:23:07,799
I also there's also like this what's it called Ancient

517
00:23:07,799 --> 00:23:11,440
Meditations on Facebook where they have like this the sounds

518
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,640
the different frequencies that you can use to listen to

519
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,799
while you're doing it. Oh okay, yeah, so that's also

520
00:23:16,799 --> 00:23:20,039
a cool thing to utilize if anybody's also listening. But yeah,

521
00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:23,680
being a hypno therapys you said you're a certified hypno therapist, right, Yes,

522
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:25,400
that's phenomenal man.

523
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:25,839
Speaker 1: Yeah.

524
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been doing it about twenty years now. And uh,

525
00:23:28,519 --> 00:23:31,160
you know, I help people to quit smoking. That's like

526
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,960
the number one thing. But you know, it's got a

527
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,960
lot of a lot of different applications. But uh yeah,

528
00:23:36,039 --> 00:23:37,559
and you know, we do a lot of breath work,

529
00:23:37,599 --> 00:23:40,559
and when I'm taking the client into a state of hypnosis,

530
00:23:40,559 --> 00:23:43,119
we do a lot of a lot of breathing and

531
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,319
sometimes people kind of chuckle when I say now I

532
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,400
want you to breathe, and they're like, well, I already am,

533
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,160
or i'd be dead. And it's like no, no, no,

534
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:49,920
I want.

535
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,559
Speaker 1: You to really breathe. Yeah, and then we get in

536
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,319
all of that and when you people the.

537
00:23:55,279 --> 00:24:00,799
Speaker 3: Four seven eight breathing technique, you know, the nose and

538
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,400
the mouth of all of that, when they really do

539
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,119
it that you just I've done it with my wife

540
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,880
and a few other friends and they're like, wow, you

541
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,759
could just see the look of surprise in their face

542
00:24:11,759 --> 00:24:14,279
when you can just tell when you really control your breathing,

543
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,680
it takes you to another place. Yep, yea, And it

544
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:19,200
honestly helps you get to center.

545
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,599
Speaker 2: And so yeah, I tell everyone it's kind of like

546
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,240
hitting the reset button. You know, if you're having a

547
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:28,079
difficult day, a challenging day, you need to de stress

548
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:29,400
for a minute and you need to just kind of

549
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,200
reset everything, you know, just just stop and do the breathing,

550
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,920
and it just kind of, like I said, it just

551
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,160
kind of helps you reset.

552
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 3: You know.

553
00:24:37,519 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: It's like like pushing the button on the video game

554
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,839
when you want to start over.

555
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,599
Speaker 1: You know, That's how I think of it.

556
00:24:44,599 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 3: It truly does.

557
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,839
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, too, something else you mentioned that

558
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:50,279
that also really caught my attention.

559
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,799
Speaker 1: So you're you're a published.

560
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:56,160

585
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,920
arenas and stadiums by the time we're fifty with this music.

586
00:26:10,079 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're not.

587
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,079

00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,079
we'll see.

589
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: The universe will give you that schedule.

590
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 3: You know. I love that you spoke that into existence

591
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:25,599
just now, my friends.

592
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:26,519
Speaker 1: There you go, there you go.

593
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 2: Well, Adam, I really appreciate talking with you this morning.

594
00:26:30,759 --> 00:26:33,319
I was thinking we might end the segment with The Lie,

595
00:26:33,759 --> 00:26:36,839
which is another great another great track, great track from

596
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,720
the EP man. Anything we should know about this before

597
00:26:39,759 --> 00:26:40,160
we play it.

598
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: The Lie is, you know, a song that is all

599
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,480
about everything we're hearing about coming through our screens, our TVs,

600
00:26:49,559 --> 00:26:52,480
our phones, even the lies that we tell ourselves. But

601
00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:54,920
mostly it's about the Global League, keeping the foot on

602
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:58,839
the man, you know, hiding under the lies they you know,

603
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,279
they tell. The truth begins to fade and and I

604
00:27:02,319 --> 00:27:05,039
think we can all relate to that, and I'm sure

605
00:27:05,079 --> 00:27:06,160
we're all tired of the lies.

606
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 2: So all right, so we're gonna end with that track.
