Speaker 2: He sings over the top of a lot of popular songs,
you know, from party rock, animal to some Kansas to
can what was the song I did September winded fire
throws in a little rack asslet you're never going to

Where people the.
Speaker 1: Guy was a touring sex well he was. His name
is Dean Mitchell, that's his name.
Speaker 4: It was a different bands and stuff. And you told
me it was COVID.
Speaker 2: That hit and he was bored just he put on
a putting videos out that hit viral, put on a costume.
A couple of years ago, he played at Photo City
in Rochester. Oh yeah, and there was probably one hundred
and fifty people there, Okay, And at some point in
the show, you know, part of his old act, he
on stage, you know, just plays the samples, plays the
saxophone over the top of it, and then at some
point he always comes down onto the floor and the
la round and dance with everybody playing the saxophone.
Speaker 1: I'm dull and are you really Yes?
Speaker 2: So he goes And that's why I've seen him three
times because the first time was like, all right, why.
Speaker 1: What do you do the first time?
Speaker 4: You were on drugs?
Speaker 2: Probably no, wasn't it.
Speaker 6: I mean I would definitely take a gummy like you
would definitely be micron.
Speaker 2: But yeah, around the country, a lot of the shows
are sold out. Yeah, he's played at Electric Forest, which
is a pretty popular music festival. And if you were
to look up videos of him playing Electric Forests, it's
thousands of people in the daylight in.
Speaker 1: The forest of just where's the Electric Forest.
Speaker 2: It's in Michigan. Oh, it's a festival that probably has like.
Speaker 1: A Saat festival. I know they do. They do do
a Sasquatch festival somewhere, and I thought it was in Michigan.
Speaker 2: No, this is just more of an m festival.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's big into he goes to like he's been
to the EEDC in Vegas.
Speaker 1: Are you an muys going to?
Speaker 4: All right, he's going to England or Europe next year
for festivals.
Speaker 1: Are you going to what's the big one? It's the
world something. It's going to be in Thailand. I just
learned about this last night. That one is somebody told
me that they're going to Thailand to see some EDM.
And it almost has like a Disney name to it,
Electric Daisy Carnival, Yeah, something like that. I've gone to
the ones in Vegas. Yeah, the big ones in Vegas.
Speaker 4: Do you do you.
Speaker 1: Get saw a lot of EDM. Was always things like uh,
molly and different drugs like that. I think today people
are a little cautious to take those things because of
the fentanyl right possibility. But did you do all that
stuff right? And I'm not but believe me, there's no
no judgment here. I'm just asking, like, what is that like?
Because that's a drug I've never done.
Speaker 2: I was always a free to enjoy the music as
part of it. Yeah, the whole getting enjoying the music
is the biggest deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ecstasy too was one like and I always thought
ecstasy was like made you amorous and all that, and
I think it it.
Speaker 4: Was always the sex drug.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they x right. But I've heard people who
took it, Laura, and they said that wasn't it. It
just made them feel more and maybe you were touching
people but they didn't have any.
Speaker 4: Sex and the matrix over that. I have no idea.
Speaker 1: I have no idea. But have you done ecstasy?
Speaker 2: Of course? Okay and not of course but.
Speaker 1: In the past, in the past. But I mean, what
is that experience? Like when you're at like an EDM festival.
Speaker 2: I mean it's just you know, when the EDC Vegas,
for example, there's one hundred sixty thousand people there that
that the Vegas Speedway where they do the NASCAR races. Yeah,
so it's just a giant carnival in the middle of
the speedway with you know, tons of stages and music
and crazy. It goes all night.
Speaker 1: How much is it to get into something like that?
Speaker 2: I mean you're spending for the tickets for for example
that it's probably for the ticket I think they're like
six seven hundred dollars a whole weekend, but.
Speaker 4: Then go from like it goes twenty four hours.
Speaker 2: It goes from Thursday night until Monday morning, so you're
getting a full sunrise sunrise.
Speaker 5: Then yeah, it's like a music festival. How much it
costs to go to one?
Speaker 2: I mean you think about what you're spending for a concert,
go to a concert at say your pays three you know,
you go to a concert at the arena wherever. You're
spending three four hundred dollars for four nights or four
hours of music. So winnu factor in many days and
then just all that has led to all of a sudden, Hey,
here's a guy playing the saxophone. Well, all right, sasquatch he's.
Speaker 4: Going he's going to Amsterdam in the spring for a festival.
Speaker 2: And festival yeah awakenings.
Speaker 1: Are you married? No? Okay, lucky dastard. Do you have
a girlfriend? You don't have anybody? You would you take
somebody with you?
Speaker 2: I'm going to a couple of friends that are married. Yeah,
notice Soulo traveling.
Speaker 4: He's the pivot man.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering, but, uh, if this guy walked out as
Dean Mitchell in gene same exact skills, right, he plays great?
Does that? Is it as cool? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: No, definitely not. I mean there are other artists that
play you know, instruments or whatever, and but they just
don't have that of like when you're going to see
when the guy sold a thousand tickets or you know,
playing in buffalo. He told someone else.
Speaker 4: That has like him the yetti like admitted doing a
Leprechaun all the bithical creatures in a band and.
Speaker 2: It's a cover band. He's really just a cover band, sure,
with a costume on, and you just go and it's fun.
And every time he's come on tour. The first time
I went, you know, he laughed at me. He's like,
you're going to see what.
Speaker 3: Like?
Speaker 2: And the second time I said, going to.
Speaker 1: See elf, you know what I mean? And it's like
it's like watching a grown.
Speaker 4: Alf had I had, you know, purs Pitt is big
in the live music, and he he was like, I
think I might try it if if i'd go so
im next time he comes around, I'm gonna go, Laura,
I would totally go and see him.
Speaker 5: I just pull up a picture of him. Though he's
not good looking.
Speaker 1: Out Dean Mitchell is not a good looking He is
not a good looks a sasquatch or a man.
Speaker 5: Way better looking as a sasquatch.
Speaker 1: Really, I was wondering that because I go, the costume
gives you permission, right permission to come out there and
almost in a way have people act. Because I love
what he plays. I'd love to know how much ass
he gets.
Speaker 5: I don't know if I don't know if he kills that,
like he's.
Speaker 6: Not a good looking man, but like, yeah, I get it.
I actually went to an EDM concert out in Red
Rocks one year and it was such a vibe. It
was so much fun and I love when you dress
up for it, and you know, dress up.
Speaker 1: How like costume with wings.
Speaker 6: I didn't do like that, but I had like pigtails,
neon body suit.
Speaker 1: Like stop what you want me to be hateful because
you don't want to be Okay, I was gonna say,
was there it was a crotchless.
Speaker 6: No, no, I had short time, but like you know,
he knows.
Speaker 5: It's like when you go to a different genre.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 6: I love to go to live music, It's my favorite thing.
I'm super passionate about it. But when I go to
a country concert, I'm going to wear something different than
going to ed M versus going to I don't know,
Celine diond Like.

Speaker 4: Be you're like a regular rosa.
Speaker 1: BARK i don't my white privileged. ASK i DON'T i
sit in the back of that. TRACK i. Don't, yeah
white privilege is an interesting thing to always discussed BECAUSE
i think that it's SO i, really do you want
the white privilege? Contest like two weeks, AGO i. DID i.
Did it wasn't white, privilege it was just a it
was in one of my. Classes DID i talk to
you about? This? No? Okay so in one of my,
classes the diversity, class they did what's called a privilege,
walk and they asked questions and depending on your, response
you either move, forward state, stationary or took a step. Back,
Okay so if you grew up in a household with
at least one parent who graduated, college step. Forward if
you if you lived in a household with at least
one parent who had an advanced, degree because that's the,
job that's what the job, required take a step. Forward so,
Right so both my parent and it was things like.
That it was things like if you ever went to
summer camp or private, school take a step? Forward those. Types,
Yes AND i knew when this, began AND i think
most people in the class. Knew the first one to
the candy ball was probably most likely going to the
fact was, going there's twigs in. There AND i didn't
take any of the. CANDY i felt too. Privileged, no
he just turned.
Speaker 4: Around and made it rain on all the other people
that weren't that weren't getting.
Speaker 5: Candy he, said this candy isn't good enough for.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah but this is not ALL i say is like,
everybody people get VERY i don't even know how to
say to get hot over this. Issue the people do
not like this because what they'll. Say many people will
SAY i worked my ass off to get WHERE i,
am AND i will, say, Yeah i'm sure you, did
but the road to get where you were had less
potholes than it did for other. People whatever that. Is
AND i think sometimes to just understand. That one of
the THINGS i didn't really like about this was somebody
did say and they NAMED i don't even know If
i'm allowed to talk about, it but they just kind of, Said,
HEY i was thinking about somebody WHO i knew was
in the, back AND i was wondering how they. Felt
and SO i, said because it's, ME i. GO i
didn't even know you were back. THERE i was all
the way up in the.
Speaker 4: FRONT i mean you you literally are the definition of
the privilege in that whole.
Speaker 1: Program, well, sure, absolutely AND i know, that what go.
Speaker 6: AHEAD i actually have a client who's a PSYCH np
professor At, fisher AND i asked her if she knew
you the other. Day she does not, know she, said
you may know. HER i.
Speaker 1: Don't want to say, yeah, YEAH i got. It, yeah,
NO i well there's like Four Because i'm in the.
Graduate she may do more undergraduate. Stuff she's not. Good, no.

you AND i forgot to bring.
Speaker 1: It all, Right, well next time it'll be. Fun it's a.
Speaker 4: Handjibber.
Speaker 1: Yeah but the THING i didn't, like AND i tried
to say after my little, joke was but we're all, Here,
yeah we're all. Here we're all on the same, program,
right how you got? Here? Whatever you. Know the thing
that worries me with some of this stuff a little
bit on a different, side Is i'm not saying that
and they're talking about. Things have you ever felt like
you were being watched while walking through a? Store will
you ever kind of questioned why you? Were you, know
somebody questioned you a lot of microaggression, Shit, NO i,
said And i've said in this, class And i've said
it AND i watched people's. FACES i. GO i have
never felt like in my life THAT i didn't fit in,
anywhere whether it was a country club or talking race
cars with guys who work on race, cars you know
WHAT i. MEAN I i just never felt LIKE i
didn't AND i never felt LIKE i couldn't talk to
almost anybody about. Anything and a lot of that is
AND i was also brought up to believe. This this
is the the total idea of. PRIVILEGE i was AND
i still believe, this just having knowledge for the sake of.
Knowledge it kind of bothers me a little bit that
we have turned college into it is a, privilege, yeah
plain and, simple it's a, privilege but we've turned it
into almost like a job center in a. Sense, right
you got to go to get this, degree And i'm
going to be a businessman And i'm going to well
happened to just knowing? Shit? Well AND i like just knowing.

to be. Considered lonely.
Speaker 2: It's a.
Speaker 1: Great, question uh maybe we should do a study. OF
that i.
Speaker 6: You.
Speaker 1: By, yourself yeah there you go.
Speaker 4: Once.
Speaker 1: A week but so so in the article that she,
started out you ready doing a study on, BAD s, m, groups, bondage,
Attention right but what she what she found out was
the people involved in that had better and healthier connections
than people out side of these kinds of, well maybe
but she was taking it to things like you have
a mechanical issue with, your car someone would come help
give you, a ride you may. Job recommendations they just
had a better connection and not everything. Was kink and
those people who were in the kink thing also had outside.
Hobby groups and the point of the article was like
the third party system where you would go and meet, somebody, bowling, leagues. Churches,
Bars right it's like we just don't have as many
anymore of the third party systems unless.
Speaker 2: They're.
Speaker 1: Bars right but, over time when you think about like
who you've become, friends with like You and keith became
friends through hockey work and, then, hockey right and you
don't make an instant friend, with somebody you just see
them frequently at the. Same place you start to reveal
a little more. About yourself they reveal a little bit more.
About themselves and you got kind of a friendship going
to and maybe that goes outside there and.
Speaker 4: We're, not friends we're, just acquaintance SAYS who i don't.
Speaker 2: Want to be. Associated with do you Know what?
Speaker 6: I'm SAYING where i have met all my, adult friends
well besides, my kids is? My, Gym yeah LIKE if
i didn't go to, a, GYM right i want to
have such a core greth.
Speaker 1: Right there and there's a. Third thing and what they're
saying is like most people, will, say, uh well join
a gym and. Do more but what this article is
about the architecture of the third party system or the
third thing where you would go to isn't there as?
Much anymore and when you think, about it like most
people find a group online and. That's it and you
also know at a certain point in your life you're
so wrapped up in the kids and things that sometimes
the other parents become your friends and so that becomes
sort of. Your circle and then, they, graduate yeah and,
the circle that circle sort of. Goes away and this
isn't addressing. The article i'm just talking from my. Own
experience and but you find, new PEOPLE and i think
having a strong network is. Really IMPORTANT and i watched
it with, my DAD and i watched it with. My
Mom and i'm not Saying that. Parkinson's wasn't uh would, be,
delayed BABY but i can't say it wouldn't if you
just had a. Healthier thing like, my dad his whole
social circle was. The gym but he didn't do anything
outside the gym with. These people he would just be
the annoying old guy like getting UP, LIKE i i,
there's this this is.
Speaker 4: A Terrible, strong yes you are.
Speaker 1: So weird but there was a terrible story where he
was trying to get somebody's attention that was on a
treadmill as. He's leaving so he climbs up on the
treadmill next to the guy and it's like, leaning, over
waving and the guy say, oh hey and they started
talking and then he can't get off. The treadmill they
had to piggyback him off because he just didn't. Right
right But what, i'm saying BUT when i went to,
visit him, but Really before parkinson's really kind of, took
over he.
Speaker 4: Did nothing it was like literally.
Speaker 1: Watching paytrive he would, read books fall asleep in the
middle of. THE day i think we went to the
diner three days. A WEEK if i have to, COOK
anything i don't. DO it i eat salads because it's,
just easy. It's raw and like he would brag because
all his blood work everything was great and so there
were no additional health problems and he died from falling,
basically right but. No sucure and Then there's March and
marge is teaching Classes At bard college and goes to a,
coffee group a. Meditation group she's got. Other Stuff and i'm,
just saying like you can SEE where i just didn't
realize it was such a problem In The united states
THAT and i part, OF it i guess is. SOCIAL
media i, DON'T know i don't want this or we just.
Don't talk and THAT'S where i go the work. From home,
it's convenient you don't have to deal. WITH traffic i.
Get it but on the, other side all, those friendships all,
those mentors all that you're. Missing out you're missing out
and you're young enough that your liver's gonna. Be fine
go have a drink and.
Speaker 4: Meet somebody do you feel like you're missing out working?
Speaker 2: At home not, at ALL because i do also Have,
other yeah.
Speaker 1: But he's got all.
Speaker 5: The outlet he's got the.
Speaker 1: Whole, em crew.
