1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: There's another big event coming up tonight in Nashua, but

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:04,919
we're going to get into that with our first guest,

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,240
and we have a lot to talk about, actually, but

4
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:10,199
let me bring that mic up. Mike McDowell is here,

5
00:00:10,279 --> 00:00:11,759
also known as the Healer.

6
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,359
Speaker 2: You got a good morning? What.

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,679
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt.

8
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:17,359
Speaker 2: I just wanted to say thank you for having me.

9
00:00:17,399 --> 00:00:18,079
This is an honor.

10
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah, I need to know why do they call

11
00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:21,239
you the healer?

12
00:00:21,359 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 3: So, you know, I get that question a lot and

13
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,760
this it's not a lot of people are like, are

14
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,559
you a traditional healer? And this is something that really

15
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,280
called to me. I am not a traditional healer per se,

16
00:00:36,679 --> 00:00:38,960
but through music, I have been healed.

17
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: You know.

18
00:00:39,679 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: It's been a long journey for me, and we could

19
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,159
probably get into that later. But the sounds that I

20
00:00:45,359 --> 00:00:48,280
play and the sounds that I listen to, especially like

21
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:51,320
my track selection, for the things that I play for everybody,

22
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:52,520
they heal.

23
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 2: You know.

24
00:00:53,079 --> 00:00:56,439
Speaker 3: Music, for music is the one thing that hits every

25
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,759
part of the human brain right And so for me

26
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:03,039
and I play this music and get people all together

27
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:08,439
as one. Race doesn't matter, color doesn't matter, identity, sexts, gender,

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:08,879
none of that.

29
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter. We're one. Right.

30
00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: When we come together and play this music and dance,

31
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,000
something magical happens and we heal.

32
00:01:16,519 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: That's simple.

33
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:17,519
Speaker 1: I like it.

34
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:18,159
Speaker 2: I like it.

35
00:01:18,359 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. We should talk about tonight. You've got

36
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,120
a big event tonight in Nashua at Terminus Underground.

37
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, one thirty four Haynes Street. I believe in Nashua,

38
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,000

39
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,799
Winter Solstice event tonight.

40
00:01:36,599 --> 00:01:37,200

43
00:01:44,599 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: Owner is in the chat room. By the way, she says, Hi, Mike,

44
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,400
she's in the face.

45
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:47,879
Speaker 2: Love you girl.

46
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:50,959
Speaker 1: And by the way too, that's why we played Six

47
00:01:50,959 --> 00:01:53,319
Minds Combined. Is playing tonight right at that? Yeah, we

48
00:01:53,719 --> 00:01:56,959
played as we were wrapping up our number one. We

00:01:57,079 --> 00:01:59,760
played Running through a Mansion. I was telling you off

50
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,239
air how I think, like a lot of us, I

51
00:02:01,239 --> 00:02:03,120
always wake up with a song playing in my head

52
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,079
first thing in the morning, and my playlist that that

53
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,800
automatic playlist that that pops up when I first opened

54
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,400
my eyes. That track is in the is in the.

55
00:02:12,439 --> 00:02:16,159
Speaker 3: Rotation love that Grig is a beautiful man. Yeah, beautiful man.

56
00:02:16,199 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: And who I Am is playing too right.

57
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:18,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

58
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: Also in my rotation, that's that song let me know

59
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,360
when it's time to rock. I get that stuck in

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,520
my head all the time.

61
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Beautiful making traction.

62
00:02:26,599 --> 00:02:31,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely, Yeah, Terminus Terminus is a is

63
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:35,080
a great place and yeah, a lot of uh we

64
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,680
had a Green Jello or green Jelly whatever you want

65
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,000
to call them, whichever name you want to use on

66
00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:41,319
the show, and Jenny worked with Eleanor to have have

67
00:02:41,439 --> 00:02:44,240
them play Terminus and it was it was quite a night.

68
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I love.

69
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,159
Speaker 3: I love what Eleanor is doing or what what the

70
00:02:47,199 --> 00:02:51,159
whole team over there is doing, because it's inspiring, because

71
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,080
it's it's a place for artists to be seen and hard,

72
00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:56,680
you know it. That's the bottom line, especially the underground

73
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:01,840
you know, Nashua artist community. It gives them a place

74
00:03:01,879 --> 00:03:03,960
to play and be seen and heard, and we need

75
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,400
more of that.

76
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: You know.

77
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: You touched on small businesses being the way to go

78
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:12,199
and Walmart and Target having making enough money like that's

79
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,759
a part of it for the music and the artist community,

80
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:15,080
you know.

81
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,199
Speaker 2: So I'm truly grateful to be able to be a

82
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:17,599
part of it.

83
00:03:17,719 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. And you have are you

84
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:22,479
opening a venue as well?

85
00:03:22,719 --> 00:03:23,039
Speaker 2: I am?

86
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: I am?

87
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to talk about that definitely.

88
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: So you know, it's you know, thanks to people like

89
00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:36,159
eleanor for for inspiring artists like myself to take the leap.

90
00:03:36,199 --> 00:03:39,520
You know, I'm bound by fear at most points throughout

91
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,360
the entire day.

92
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:40,639
Speaker 2: You know.

93
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,639
Speaker 3: Fear likes to dictate, uh, my next decision, you know,

94
00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,159
and when we've got people in our corner that really

95
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,159
care about what we're doing and see how important what

96
00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,280
we're doing is, it allows me to tell that fear

97
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:01,319
to step aside, you know. And it's this place came

98
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,639
about as first and foremost it was an opportunity, you know,

99
00:04:06,719 --> 00:04:10,439
and I don't really believe in coincidence coincidences too much

100
00:04:10,479 --> 00:04:13,159
these days. It was a signed for the from the universe.

101
00:04:13,199 --> 00:04:15,599
For me, it was like, you've got a job to do, Mike.

102
00:04:15,919 --> 00:04:18,120
You know, these people need a place to be seen

103
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,439
and heard, like we're just talking about with Terminus yep.

104
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,480
And you know that the spot, which is actually what

105
00:04:24,519 --> 00:04:28,959
it's going to be called, is the spot. The space

106
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,000
has been vacant for six years on Main Street, Nashua.

107
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,920
It'll be at two seventeen Main Street where Aubishon Hardware

108
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,759
used to be from like one hundred years right. Yeah,

109
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,360
So it's it's pretty nostalgic because I've been I used

110
00:04:41,399 --> 00:04:42,920
to go in there when I was a kid, and

111
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,839
you know, we're demoing it right now, getting ready to

112
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:48,600
put the new floors down, and we're shooting for like

113
00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:52,240
February March to open, and this is going to be

114
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:58,040
a sober establishment, you know. Friday, I'll have eighteen years sober. Oh, congratulations,

115
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:01,519
Thank you very much. And from me, a lot of

116
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,160
the motivation behind the spot was that I used to

117
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,399
love the bar scene.

118
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,439
Speaker 2: I used to absolutely absolutely love the.

119
00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Community, the bands, the music, the comedy, whatever it was.

120
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,920
But for me and many many other people, it grabs

121
00:05:17,959 --> 00:05:20,279
a hold, you know, it grabs a hold of you

122
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:23,759
and completely ruined my life real you know.

123
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: And that.

124
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's not to say anything that can handle

125
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,959
their say anything bad about anyone that can.

126
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 2: Handle their alcohol. Sure, excuse me.

127
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,399
Speaker 3: This is just for me and for the people that

128
00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:37,720
are going through what I go through. We don't have

129
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,160
a place, you know, a nice, big place where artists

130
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,480
can come, you know, put their art on the walls.

131
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,120
Musicians come, comedies come, and there's no booze. So by

132
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,160
the end of the night, nobody's fighting and getting their

133
00:05:50,199 --> 00:05:53,319
girlfriends taken right, you know. So that's that was it.

134
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,199
Speaker 2: Man. I was just kind of listening to the universe,

135
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,519
listening to my heart. And it's a community thing. It's

136
00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,800
not a me thing. It's a wee thing.

137
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking ideas from everyone in my corner and

138
00:06:03,199 --> 00:06:06,360
trying to put this together with a team.

139
00:06:06,519 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

140
00:06:07,519 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: So this is an opportunity to right to have to

141
00:06:09,959 --> 00:06:13,759
do like all ages shows, is that? Yeah, Okay, that's great. Yep,

142
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:15,079
we need more of that.

143
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:15,959
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely.

144
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,519
Speaker 1: I used to love I don't know if you remember

145
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,360
the Sad Cafe and Plaschat I don't. That was an

146
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:25,920
all ages room, alcohol free and yeah. I played in

147
00:06:25,959 --> 00:06:28,480
a couple of bands that they would play shows there

148
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,959
and uh and and booked a lot of shows there

149
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:34,279
and unfortunately it's it's long gone now, but it was

150
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,399
such a great place. It was cool too because they

151
00:06:36,399 --> 00:06:40,439
would actually they would actually record your set and uh.

152
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 2: And they'd give you a CD at the end of

153
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,360
the excellent.

154
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,399
Speaker 1: Sometimes it was excellent. Sometimes it sounds terrible. It would

155
00:06:46,399 --> 00:06:49,279
depend on who was who was running the board that night,

156
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,240
to be honest with you. But but yeah, it was

157
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,240
really cool. And this's just and I remember for all

158
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,639
those years, well for a lot of those years, it

159
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,519
was the only in all of New Hampshire, it was

160
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,240
the only room like that. Of course, if you go

161
00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:04,639
back further there was a Cafe Eclipse and Conquered Yep

162
00:07:04,759 --> 00:07:09,399
which was a great all ages room. But yeah, there

163
00:07:09,439 --> 00:07:11,959
aren't there, there aren't many, no.

164
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,639
Speaker 3: And I'll share I'll share a quick story, a couple

165
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,759
of quick stories here about like, so we're down there

166
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,800
doing a little build out a couple of weeks ago,

167
00:07:20,879 --> 00:07:22,519
and it's happened a few times.

168
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:23,879
Speaker 2: Excuse me.

169
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,959
Speaker 3: Folks are walking by and there was a couple, there

170
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,000
was about three elderly women walking by and they just

171
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,279
stopped and looked in the windows. It was probably nine

172
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,920
pm and you could tell they were just having dinner

173
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,360
down the street, somewhere on Main Street. And so I

174
00:07:37,399 --> 00:07:40,399
went outside and I started talking to them and they

175
00:07:40,439 --> 00:07:42,480
were like, hey, we're really curious. We keep seeing the

176
00:07:42,519 --> 00:07:44,240
lights on here. It's been vacant for some time. What

177
00:07:44,279 --> 00:07:46,920
do you got going on? So I shared the story

178
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:50,319
about where I came from and uh, why we're doing it,

179
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,600
and I had one of the women in tears, and

180
00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:54,879
she was like, this town needs this. And she's not

181
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,680
the only one that said that. Just last week, a

182
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,959
gentleman was walking by and he's rubbernecking as he's walking by,

183
00:08:00,439 --> 00:08:02,639
and I'm going out to grab something from the car

184
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600
and uh, and and we just started we engaged. We

185
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,079
started having a conversation and he's like, listen, man, I

186
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,480
drink and and this is an excellent idea, and I'm

187
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,000
going to be down here. And he says, you know,

188
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:15,399
my son's in a Beatles cover band. Would you like

189
00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:18,360
to I said, we want everybody to come down here.

190
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:20,560
You know, so even if you drink, come down. We

191
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,399
don't care about that. Yeah, booze isn't going to be

192
00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:25,199
allowed there, but like, come down and have a good time.

193
00:08:25,439 --> 00:08:26,480
That's what this is about.

194
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:33,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, that's that's outstanding. And what are you are

195
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,639
you going to in terms of the entertainment? I mean obviously,

196
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,480
so I assume you're gonna have bands and DJs. You'll

197
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:40,000
probably DJ there, right, yeah.

198
00:08:39,879 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we're gonna do uh once a month. We're

199
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,039
gonna have uh per se and e d M night.

200
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,039
I hate that term. Why it's I mean, for for

201
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,320
the general public. EDM kind of sums up all the genres.

202
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,360
But I come from a place where, like I play

203
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,360
house music and someone else will play dubstep, but all

204
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,440
encompassing it's DM you know, it's electronic dance music. But yeah,

205
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,000
once a month we're going to do that. I've got

206
00:09:10,039 --> 00:09:13,080
a great band, a bunch of young kids from Nashua

207
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,679
that are absolutely phenomenal. I'd like to shout them out

208
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,279
the whole loaf. Yeah yeah, yeah, yep, Like seven months

209
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:22,600
ago they were on or something like that.

210
00:09:22,919 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: It becomes a blurb. Yeah yeah, yeah, that sounds about right.

211
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:25,879
Speaker 2: Yeah.

212
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: Man, those guys are unbelievable man, and uh so we're

213
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:34,080
gonna have them down. We're gonna do comedy nights. I've

214
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,799
got plans from Monday through Friday, eleven to one. During

215
00:09:37,799 --> 00:09:39,600
the day, we're gonna do acoustic lunches.

216
00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 2: Yep.

217
00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 3: So we're gonna have acoustic artists, artists come in and

218
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,039
all the artists are going to be paid.

219
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 2: We got big plans, yeah, big plans. You know.

220
00:09:48,639 --> 00:09:51,519
Speaker 3: I want to showcase a lot of art on the walls.

221
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,039
I'm going to do a rotation monthly where someone gets

222
00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:57,399
a section of the wall and a QR code will

223
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600
be put up so it'll link right to all their

224
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,559
socials and stuff like that. Yeah, you know, like I said,

225
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,279
I just want us all to be seen and heard.

226
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. It's it's a great opportunity too for

227
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,360
bands that maybe, like you know, there are some young

228
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,840
bands in the area that have a hard time even

229
00:10:14,879 --> 00:10:17,360
getting booked at you know, like at a bar, you know,

230
00:10:17,399 --> 00:10:20,759
because a lot of places don't want Like years ago,

231
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:23,159
I don't know if you remember the Uptown Tavern.

232
00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of, I was.

233
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: I was. I was one of the promoters. I put

234
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:29,440
on a lot of shows there. You know, they would

235
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,799
they would let me book underage bands, but it was

236
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:33,799
like they could only come in when it was time

237
00:10:33,879 --> 00:10:35,840
to set up and they had to leave right after.

238
00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:38,399
And it was and you know, the the the management

239
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,919
there wasn't crazy about it. But but we need we

240
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,159
need places like that where younger bands can play. Like

241
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,879
I work with a band called Under the Horizon. I'm

242
00:10:45,879 --> 00:10:48,480
handling their radio campaign and I'm also trying to get

243
00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:51,799
them some shows. But it's hard because you know, bars

244
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:55,200
don't want you know, they're they're underage. Bars, bars are

245
00:10:55,279 --> 00:10:57,960
like more uptight about it than ever yep, which I

246
00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:01,759
understand of course. But but so it's so valuable, you know,

247
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:06,360
to have a place that younger people can play by time. Yeah, fantastic.

248
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,159
Speaker 3: It's tough when you're at that age and you know

249
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,879
what your passion is. You know deep in your heart

250
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,759
that you can't help but play this music or paint

251
00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,879
that painting. It's inside of you. And when you get

252
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,480
kind of shunned down because you don't have a place

253
00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,039
to go, I mean it hurts, it does. I mean

254
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,600
I ruined my chance, my chances of ever really playing

255
00:11:33,639 --> 00:11:36,200
anywhere when I was like nineteen, because I got into

256
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,759
the rave scene early and I found exactly what I needed,

257
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:45,440
and then I trailed off and I allowed the demons

258
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,159
to come in and start dictating the course of my life.

259
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:52,000
And I'm super grateful that I'm coming up on eighteen

260
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:57,879
now because I've matured kind of, I've matured to the

261
00:11:57,879 --> 00:12:00,960
point where I understand that the music and the dancing

262
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,840
in the community we're always my first love. Yeah, you know,

263
00:12:04,919 --> 00:12:07,240
and so like I don't I choose not to allow

264
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,559
the other vices to come in. I've built a foundation

265
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,679
and I can do it, and it's it's I have

266
00:12:13,759 --> 00:12:16,799
no words for what it is. So point being like,

267
00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,080
these young kids need a place so that they don't

268
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:22,399
stray down the path that I went because you get

269
00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,600
insecure when people tell you no, you know so so yeah, yeah,

270
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:31,240
to give them a platform to be able to express

271
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:34,559
their passion is going to do wonders for them in

272
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,720
the course of their life.

273
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,919
Speaker 1: Definitely. Yep. We have a question for you in the

274
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,200
chat room. So our friend Charles Richardson, who is in Florida,

275
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,320
speaking of Florida, we were talking off there about Florida

276
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,320
and yeah, we'll get to that.

277
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:45,759
Speaker 2: Hr.

278
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: We we have a mutual friend in Florida, of course,

279
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,399
But so Charles is asking, hey, congratulations on being sober

280
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,879
and the new establishment. But I wanted to ask what

281
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,279
made you turn toward the bottle in your life and

282
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,759
also what made you stop?

283
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, Charles? What made me turn?

284
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, if we really break that down,

285
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,279
it was just insecurities and low self esteem and an

286
00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,840
easy way out is what caused me to turn to

287
00:13:13,879 --> 00:13:16,039
the bottle. You know, a lot of kids my age

288
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,679
were doing that. You know, It's what we did when

289
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,399
we were kids. And I had no idea that, like,

290
00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:22,960
I was an addict. I didn't know. I didn't know

291
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,360
that I was hardwired differently. Yeah, not really differently, man,

292
00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:29,519
We all lots of us are are hard wired that way.

293
00:13:29,879 --> 00:13:32,960
It was an easy way out, Charles, if I could

294
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,159
really sum it out, it was instead of taking a

295
00:13:35,159 --> 00:13:38,519
good hard look at itself and trying to do a

296
00:13:38,519 --> 00:13:41,039
little bit of work, this young kid was just going

297
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:42,840
to take the bottle and run with it. And once

298
00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:45,720
I started, I couldn't stop because it numbed it right out,

299
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,080
the voices that told me I wasn't good enough and

300
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,000
that I would never be anybody that was it. I

301
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:53,159
was partying like a rock star with no instrument.

302
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:54,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

303
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:58,039
Speaker 1: You know, that's the insidious thing about alcoholism, too, is that,

304
00:13:58,519 --> 00:14:01,039
as you refer to it, you didn't know you were,

305
00:14:01,399 --> 00:14:03,360
like your brain is hardwired for that. That's the thing

306
00:14:03,639 --> 00:14:06,759
with alcohol. You don't know. You really have no way

307
00:14:06,759 --> 00:14:08,759
of knowing until.

308
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,879
Speaker 2: It's too late, exactly.

309
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean there is I know there's some

310
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,240
research that shows that there may be a genetic component.

311
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,039
But but but like with anything you can never you know,

312
00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:23,840
you can't be sure. It's particularly interesting to me. I

313
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,039
don't know if you know this about me, but I'm

314
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,679
a certified hypnotherapist and one of the things I help

315
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,799
people with is addictions, so I'm always very.

316
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,559
Speaker 2: Interested in that's great.

317
00:14:32,559 --> 00:14:34,519
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I love you know, getting to help

318
00:14:34,519 --> 00:14:37,639
people is wonderful. When I heard you were called the healer,

319
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,840
oh perfect. Oh, before we go any further too, Now

320
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000
I can't so you gave me a sticker, which I love. Now, Unfortunately,

321
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,600
because we're on FM radio, I cannot say verbatim what

322
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,039
this says, but but I'll put it for those watching online.

323
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:55,639
I can. I can hold it up to the camera,

324
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,720
but basically it says, just be a decent human. There

325
00:14:59,759 --> 00:15:01,960
is an additional word in there that you know, really

326
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
kind of puts puts a point on it. But but

327
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,039
just be a decent human. I think is a great message.

328
00:15:06,039 --> 00:15:07,240
And if I hold it up to the camera you

329
00:15:07,279 --> 00:15:08,440
can see exactly what it.

330
00:15:08,559 --> 00:15:10,519
Speaker 2: Shout out to Tim for making those for me, good

331
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:11,240
friend of mine.

332
00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:13,519
Speaker 1: Now is he a graphic designer?

333
00:15:13,679 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: No, he just I'm pretty sure he just jumped on

334
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,720
h jumped online somewhere and kind of just threw it together.

335
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:22,519
And because I say that all the time to people, Yeah,

336
00:15:22,559 --> 00:15:24,799
you know, he just came into my shop and Hudson

337
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,559
and Uh with a stack of them as a gift,

338
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:29,000
and he was like, here, give these two people. And

339
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:31,679
I'm like, dude, that's amazing, because that's it. Just be

340
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,879
a decent human So you got to do yeah, exactly, Yeah,

341
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,840
and a world full it's cold out there, guys, it is.

342
00:15:38,039 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: It's it's the world can be coold.

343
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: But like I'm a firm believer that the more that

344
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,399
we're decent to people for no reason, we have a chance.

345
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 2: We do, we have a chance to heal in the world.

346
00:15:48,679 --> 00:15:49,519
Just be nice to people.

347
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: You know. What I always say too is it's it's

348
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,320
a lot of it is about what you put out

349
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,840
there for energy, positive energy out there. And some people

350
00:15:57,879 --> 00:15:59,879
will scoff a little bit because they'll say, like you

351
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,679
for it earlier to the universe, you know, guiding you

352
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,879
and so forth, or putting you in this direction. And

353
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,559
you know, not everyone believes in that. But I always say,

354
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,159
even if you don't believe in the concept of you know,

355
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,879
the quote unquote universe and and the energy and all

356
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,200
that even if you don't believe in that, you don't

357
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,519
have to believe in that. It's still regardless of that,

358
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,320
take that, take that piece out of it, if it's

359
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:25,519
too woo woo for you or whatever, it's still just

360
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,279
kind of how life works anyway, you know what, even

361
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,279
without that part of it, although I do believe in

362
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,440
that part of it, because I've I've had some wild

363
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,200
synchronicities happen that it can't possibly be coincidence. No, I

364
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,919
really believe that. But but even if you take that

365
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,519
part out of it, just I think that's still just

366
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,039
kind of how life works in that if you if

367
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:46,279
you're a good person, and if you're a positive person,

368
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:49,200
other positive people are going to want to be around you,

369
00:16:49,639 --> 00:16:52,240
whereas if you're a negative person, positive people are not

370
00:16:52,279 --> 00:16:54,120
going to want to be around you, and then negative

371
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,799
people will fill the voice absolutely.

372
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,159
Speaker 3: And it's try and it's it's been proven with me

373
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,440
as well. It's through trial and error. I try to,

374
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:01,960
like people come at me with a little bit of

375
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,319
negativity in a conversation and I'll try, hey, what's like

376
00:17:05,559 --> 00:17:09,240
because it's contagious and it will latch on and then

377
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:11,160
it just you see what happens.

378
00:17:11,519 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, yep, one hundred percent. Oh the Florida things.

379
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:20,519
So our friend DJ Midas, who is either the first

380
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,720
or second person to actually have a show here on

381
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,440
on WM and H. I'm not sure. I'm not sure

382
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,079
if his show was first, or the Morning Show with

383
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,119
Peter White was first. One of them was first and

384
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,640
one of them was second. But but Midas's show late

385
00:17:33,759 --> 00:17:36,440
Night to Light, which of course you can hear every

386
00:17:36,759 --> 00:17:40,640
every Saturday night at starting at midnight, and then it

387
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,960
repeats on Sunday night at midnight, I guess would technically

388
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:47,359
be Monday. But yeah, he's so he's a WM and

389
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,960
H original. But you also, you know Midas.

390
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 3: Ye shout out to John, Thank you, buddy, love you man.

391
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,240
What an inspiration you know, when I first when I

392
00:17:55,279 --> 00:17:58,119
first was introduced to the scene back when I was

393
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,880
a kid and started going to late night parties and raves,

394
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:03,519
like he was there, you know.

395
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 2: And he is such an.

396
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 3: Versatile artist, like the music that he plays, yeah, pushes boundaries,

397
00:18:14,279 --> 00:18:16,960
you know. And and and that's what it's about for me,

398
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,400
is being able to do something different. And I'm super

399
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,559
grateful for him because he actually laid like this foundation

400
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,079
of attraction for me to what people were doing behind

401
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,160
the decks. Yes, yeah, wow yeah, So thank you John.

402
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:33,759
Speaker 1: So if not for him, you might not.

403
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys like him. DJ Farrow Todd very good friend

404
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,279
of mine. For guys like them, absolutely, if I didn't

405
00:18:40,319 --> 00:18:42,559
hear what they were doing in the sound, because it

406
00:18:42,599 --> 00:18:44,279
hits you in the heart, doesn't hit me in the ears.

407
00:18:44,519 --> 00:18:46,279
If they weren't doing it, I wouldn't be doing what

408
00:18:46,319 --> 00:18:47,000
I'm doing today.

409
00:18:47,039 --> 00:18:49,559

417
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,880
me up in times that like I don't even know

418
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,039

Speaker 1: That's a nice thing too, about you know, we live

432
00:19:52,839 --> 00:19:55,519
in a time where, you know, with the radio show,

433
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,799
even though we're obviously we love Manchester and love being here.

434
00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:00,960
And you can listen locally twenty five point three FM.

435
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,279
But of course you can stream the show from any

436
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:04,799
beautiful anywhere in the world really beautiful or I say

437
00:20:04,799 --> 00:20:06,920
anywhere in the world. I don't know that necessarily in

438
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,319
Iran you're allowed you, right, Saudi Arabia maybe I.

439
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,599
Speaker 3: Know, maybe they're pirate and maybe yeah.

440
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:18,599
Speaker 1: Now, so what's so getting back to the spot, So

441
00:20:18,839 --> 00:20:21,480
what's kind of the do you have a timetable? Do

442
00:20:21,519 --> 00:20:22,680
you do you kind of know when?

443
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 3: So we had originally planned like January February but as

444
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:29,079
always that the way you have it planned, it never

445
00:20:29,279 --> 00:20:32,400
works out that way. Of course, we're looking at probably

446
00:20:33,799 --> 00:20:35,759
end of February, maybe March, yep.

447
00:20:36,079 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 2: Yep.

448
00:20:38,279 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: Now, how is how is the city to work with?

449
00:20:41,279 --> 00:20:43,039
How how is the city of Nashvia to work with?

450
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:44,599
Speaker 2: They're actually really great.

451
00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're just very busy right now, so we're getting

452
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,759
held up, held up on getting inspections and stuff like that.

453
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,680
No fault of their own, but uh, because like I said,

454
00:20:53,839 --> 00:20:56,559
trades are very busy, especially in the commercial area right now.

455
00:20:56,559 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, no, they're great to work with. Yep.

456
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,559
Speaker 3: And I've gotten a lot of feedback from people that

457
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,480
are working like in the Mayor's office and stuff like that.

458
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,640
I just keep hearing we need this, we need this,

459
00:21:07,799 --> 00:21:08,759
Nashua needs this.

460
00:21:09,079 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah.

461
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, so they're all for it.

462
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 1: That's good.

463
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's really good.

464
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know now that I'm thinking about it,

465
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,640
because you know, you do hear stories about I'm not

466
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,079
talking about Nashville. I'm not talking about any city specifically,

467
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:23,359
but you know, you hear stories people are trying to

468
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,720
open something and whatever a city or town they're in,

469
00:21:25,799 --> 00:21:27,680
they're you know, they're kind of getting a hard time

470
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:31,039
from the local officials or whatnot. But but in your

471
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,400
case too, whereas you're doing something that the community does need,

472
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:38,319
you know, I can't help, but wonder are are they

473
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,319
really gonna kind of help you more than they would

474
00:21:42,319 --> 00:21:44,799
help maybe someone who was you know, if you were

475
00:21:44,839 --> 00:21:47,759
just opening a bar, right or or I don't know,

476
00:21:47,799 --> 00:21:50,519
a strip club or something something or you know, uh

477
00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,799
a casino, something that they be worried about. You know,

478
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,519
you're doing something that's only going to be positive. Yep,

479
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,160
you know that the community needs. So I think they

480
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,400
so they have a extra incentive in that sense to

481
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,160
help you. Right, it's going it's going to be something

482
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,640
good for the community.

483
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:04,759
Speaker 2: I would hope.

484
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: So Nashua, Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly, very cool,

485
00:22:10,839 --> 00:22:11,279
very cool.

486
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,279
Speaker 1: Now so when you open, so are you you're going

487
00:22:14,319 --> 00:22:14,880
to serve food?

488
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,079
Speaker 3: There?

489
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Because you've got something about lunch when

490
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,359
acoustic artists will play.

491
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, So we've got the main Street community is filled

492
00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:28,359
with some excellent restaurants and excellent food. So I've popped

493
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:32,960
into main Street euro or gyro however you want to

494
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,279
call it. And then Empaneli's is an empanada place right

495
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,359
around the corner. We Oh, they're they're great, you know,

496
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,279
shout out to both of you guys. But I've popped

497
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:45,359
in there and kind of let them know what we

498
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,519
were doing. And uh, I don't want to cook food

499
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,559
at at the spot. You know, we could put in

500
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:53,720
a kitchen if we wanted to. It's zoned for it. Obviously.

501
00:22:54,839 --> 00:22:57,640
I've got my sister in Las Aarrah. She just opened

502
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:02,680
up Raw Toast is her bread company, and it's phenomenal bread.

503
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,920
So she's gonna team up with us and and kind

504
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:07,960
of make pastries and stuff that will coincide with coffee

505
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,079
and tea during the day because during the day, I'm

506
00:23:10,079 --> 00:23:12,640
gonna be serving anchor Head Coffee, which is out in Seattle.

507
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,519
They're sending some coffee my way and we're gonna grind

508
00:23:15,599 --> 00:23:17,160
up the beans there. I want I want people to

509
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,200
experience like a coffee and tea bar during the day.

510
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,480
So if you're you're working on Main Street about to

511
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,279
go to work, you can pop in there and grab

512
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:27,599
some coffee, lunch break, come down because we're gonna have

513
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,480
acoustic artists and get some coffee and tea or or whatever.

514
00:23:31,519 --> 00:23:34,839
We're gona have mocktails of all types, but like I

515
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,119
really want to hone in on coffee and tea bar

516
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:40,400
during the day and uh yeah, so she's gonna she's

517
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,519
gonna bring us pastries and stuff like that. And uh

518
00:23:43,599 --> 00:23:46,559
it's really I know that other people are gonna end

519
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,119
up coming in and saying, hey, I make this, can

520
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:49,480
we can?

521
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,799
Speaker 2: We put it? Absolutely? Absolutely.

522
00:23:51,839 --> 00:23:53,599
Speaker 3: It's like I said, it's a community thing, it's a

523
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,400
wee thing, but we're not gonna serve our own food there.

524
00:23:56,599 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: Well, you know what's smart about that, I really like

525
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,559
that is if you're if you're teaming up with other

526
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,240
you know, like you mentioned the Epina and Pinellies, if

527
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,160
you're if you're kind of teaming up working with other

528
00:24:11,559 --> 00:24:14,319
restaurants to to do that, you know, to to bring

529
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,599
in food or whatever, then you're not competing with anybody.

530
00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,599
So you're no threat to them. You're you can only

531
00:24:19,599 --> 00:24:21,279
be a benefit to them if they take you up

532
00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:23,119
on that and they work with you. So that I

533
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,359
think is very smart too, because that's that's going to

534
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,319
generate a lot of goodwill among these other businesses. If

535
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,039
you're going to them and saying we're not we don't

536
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:31,519
want to compete with you, we want to work.

537
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 3: With you absolutely, and that's my that was my selfless nature.

538
00:24:34,319 --> 00:24:36,680
I mean, I'm very selfless. I put myself last in

539
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:38,400
most instances in uh.

540
00:24:38,759 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 2: But but but this.

541
00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:44,079
Speaker 1: Is a win win for every You just described that strategy.

542
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:49,119
That's that's very smart. And of course, because it's not

543
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,480
a bar, you don't there's no I assume because it's

544
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,680
not a bar, there's because I know it's like Jenny Is.

545
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,400
Jenny knows a lot about the live because she used

546
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,160
to be a state legislator here in New Hampshire and

547
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,279
she always says, there's really no such thing as a

548
00:25:02,319 --> 00:25:05,759
bar in New Hampshire. Everything's a restaurant because if you're

549
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:08,400
a bar, you're required to have a certain amount of

550
00:25:09,759 --> 00:25:12,160
I don't know exactly how the math works, but it's

551
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,759
like a certain percentage of your sales has to be

552
00:25:14,839 --> 00:25:16,240
food and not alcohol.

553
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,039
Speaker 2: Oh interesting, Yeah, yeah, Okay.

554
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: There are exemptions. I guess, like Jewel is actually classified

555
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,720
as a ballroom not a bar. I don't know how

556
00:25:24,759 --> 00:25:25,519
that interest.

557
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeaho poles.

558
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,799
Speaker 1: But in your case, whereas you're not serving alcohol, you

559
00:25:29,839 --> 00:25:30,559
don't have to worry.

560
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: About Yeah, so that's great. Yep, yep, that's really good.

561
00:25:34,319 --> 00:25:39,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm curious too the space, like can you tell

562
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:42,359
it that it used to be an obishon? Like is

563
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:43,319
there stuff left over?

564
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I've got some cool pictures on my phone

565
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:48,599
when we were digging up. So it was probably four

566
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:52,880
layers of plywood, not plywood, but four layers of flooring

567
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,519
in the place. So they never ripped up the old flooring.

568
00:25:55,799 --> 00:25:59,039
Every time somebody renovated, Yeah, they would just lay lay

569
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,759
more flooring down. So I had my good buddy, he

570
00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:05,039
stepped up to the plate and got him and his

571
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:06,880
guys to go down and rip up the floor a

572
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,160
couple of weeks ago, and they ripped up like four

573
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,559
layers and got it down to the original hardwood floor

574
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,200
that was in there, and we really wanted to use it,

575
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,319
but it was going to get damaged as they were

576
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:19,000
ripping it up.

577
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: But there's.

578
00:26:21,319 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 3: Those those tree fresheners you know that we hang on

579
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:27,079
the used to hang on the rear views. There's like

580
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,240
a giant one from probably fifty years ago that's stuck

581
00:26:31,279 --> 00:26:33,720
to the floor. And then one of those you know

582
00:26:33,839 --> 00:26:37,119
get your keys made here that's probably from like early

583
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,559
eighties that's stuck there. It's about two feet by two feet.

584
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,039
It was really cool. Yeah, and then you go down

585
00:26:43,079 --> 00:26:48,920
in the basement and there's like three separate stairways that

586
00:26:49,039 --> 00:26:51,759
go up to nothing down in the space. Because main

587
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:56,480
Street has risen about five feet over the years it

588
00:26:56,599 --> 00:26:58,720
used to be, so if you were to try to

589
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,640
access through that their way, you'd be you'd run right

590
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,079
into the sidewalk at your chest. So there's these like

591
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,759
staircases that aren't being used anymore.

592
00:27:07,799 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 2: It's oh, it's really cool.

593
00:27:09,319 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: Interesting.

594
00:27:09,839 --> 00:27:14,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really cool. And I feel sound studio vibes

595
00:27:14,839 --> 00:27:17,400
coming from that basement. So we're not going to do

596
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:19,960
that immediately. Obviously, we want to get these doors open

597
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:23,359
and get everybody in there. But I think a year

598
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:26,279
or so down the road, i'd like to create, like

599
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,920
build out a sound studio that'll be under main Street. Yeah,

600
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,240
so we can record things and people can come and

601
00:27:33,319 --> 00:27:35,160
record albums at the spot.

602
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, excellent.

603
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

604
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 1: Now, have you always been an entrepreneur?

605
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: I didn't.

606
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,319
Speaker 3: I was just funny. I was just talking to them

607
00:27:41,319 --> 00:27:43,559
before they left. I didn't know what it was, Matt,

608
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:50,480
I didn't know. I knew that for me, working the

609
00:27:50,599 --> 00:27:55,200
nine to five didn't sit right with me, and that's

610
00:27:55,240 --> 00:28:00,599
not to knock it. I'm a little crazy, and you know,

611
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:05,079
I loved the jobs that I had growing up. But

612
00:28:05,279 --> 00:28:10,079
for me, the thought of working till I am sixty

613
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,160
five and collecting a certain percentage of money from that company,

614
00:28:15,799 --> 00:28:20,559
it just didn't make sense for me. God bless my dad.

615
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,160
The guy shows up to work every day. He is

616
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,559
my role model and he has been my whole life.

617
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,319
Shout out to Mom and Dad. I love you guys.

618
00:28:31,599 --> 00:28:34,960
But for me, I didn't know that the add right,

619
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,599
the attention deficit, was actually an asset class. I was

620
00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:39,519
always told, Mike, you to sit down, shut up. You're

621
00:28:39,559 --> 00:28:41,839
not sit down, shut up, sit down, shut up. I'm

622
00:28:41,839 --> 00:28:45,640
a scatterbrain. But as an entrepreneur, that's an asset class.

623
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,000
That's the skill set. So it wasn't until a few

624
00:28:48,079 --> 00:28:50,839
years ago that I was somebody was like, oh, you're

625
00:28:50,839 --> 00:28:53,519
an entrepreneur. I'm like, no, those are those Those are

626
00:28:53,519 --> 00:28:56,599
those big guys that own multiple companies and da da,

627
00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,440
da da. I guess that's what I am. I don't know, madam.

628
00:29:00,839 --> 00:29:03,720
What I'm addicted to is listening to what the people want.

629
00:29:04,359 --> 00:29:04,519
Speaker 2: You know.

630
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: I own a repair shop in Hudson that got voted

631
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,119
the best repair shop in the Greater Nashua area two

632
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,599
years ago.

633
00:29:11,119 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were only two years old. Yeah you know. Yeah,

634
00:29:14,279 --> 00:29:16,680
and we're it's not even in Nashwoo, it's in Hudson.

635
00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:17,839
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah.

636
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,119
Speaker 3: And we're in the running for it again for twenty

637
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,880
twenty four. But for me, it's about listening to what

638
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:26,319
do you guys want, like what's missing in the community,

639
00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:29,759
and how can we do something to kickstarted.

640
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's it, That's what I'm doing.

641
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: The ad D part of that is really interesting to

642
00:29:34,759 --> 00:29:38,319
me because you might know, do you know doctor Kevin

643
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:39,279
He's he lives in.

644
00:29:39,359 --> 00:29:42,079
Speaker 2: Uh yes, I do you know? I do? Yeah, yeah.

645
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's a good friend of mine and we've

646
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,119
done a lot of work together too, and I'm a

647
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,160
regular on his podcast. Okay, I was at a chamber

648
00:29:50,279 --> 00:29:52,440
he invited He's invited me to a couple of the

649
00:29:52,599 --> 00:29:58,279
Nashua Chamber of Commerce events. But he's done a lot

650
00:29:58,279 --> 00:29:59,680
of work. I don't know if you know this about him,

651
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,119
He's done a lot of work in that area. Like

652
00:30:01,119 --> 00:30:03,519
he's written multiple books about a d D eighty HD

653
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,799
and and one of the books is called Managing the

654
00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:10,680
Gift because He comes at it from the perspective of,

655
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,079
you know, if you have a d D and you're

656
00:30:13,119 --> 00:30:16,680
being told in school or by whomever, while this is

657
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,720
some sort of a learning disability or you know, that's

658
00:30:19,759 --> 00:30:23,359
the wrong thing to be telling people. And I heard

659
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,519
because yeah, because it can so much as as you

660
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:29,960
were talking about, it can so much be an asset.

661
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,720
There are so many things where you know, you can

662
00:30:33,839 --> 00:30:34,839
you can use that.

663
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: To your advantage.

664
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: And and a lot of a lot of successful entrepreneurs,

665
00:30:40,279 --> 00:30:44,519
you know, they they code for having ad and and

666
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,519
it can really and that's why he calls it managing

667
00:30:46,559 --> 00:30:48,119
the gift because it can really.

668
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 3: Be I have to talk to him. I didn't even

669
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:51,880
know that he did that. Yeah, he's helped me before. Man,

670
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,640
we sat down and when we had a session, oh okay,

671
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:56,960
oh yeah, and it was eye opening.

672
00:30:58,079 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

673
00:30:59,720 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: Yeah.

674
00:31:00,039 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: It's and for the people that that for anyone that's

675
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,920
young out there, and and you know, you quote unquote

676
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,799
suffer from add or or their to I don't know

677
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:12,000
how it is nowadays, it's probably changed. But when I

678
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:15,759
was a kid, you were broken, like you weren't like

679
00:31:15,799 --> 00:31:19,039
everyone else else, you know, and and we don't all

680
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:20,880
have to fit into the same box.

681
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,839
Speaker 2: We don't. There is not one way up the mountain, right,

682
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:25,240
you know.

683
00:31:25,359 --> 00:31:33,359
Speaker 3: The the societal blueprint for success has been and was always,

684
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,319
you know, it that that that model of get up,

685
00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:42,000
punch the clock, go to work, get home, you know,

686
00:31:42,119 --> 00:31:44,680
and and put your money in for one k and

687
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:47,759
and all that, save your money, all that stuff like

688
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,640
if you weren't doing that, you were doing something wrong,

689
00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:53,319
you know.

690
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 2: And that's how I was brought up. And it's nice to.

691
00:31:55,599 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 3: See that there's a a flourishing community of like minded

692
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,119
people like my self that are getting together and and

693
00:32:02,359 --> 00:32:06,880
understand like, you can do anything you want. We don't

694
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,000
have to follow the societal norm you know, there's a

695
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,319
there's a way to get to the top. There there's

696
00:32:13,359 --> 00:32:15,319
many different ways to get to get to the top.

697
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:16,319
Speaker 2: Yep.

698
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's great that that you're you're so familiar

699
00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:21,519
with doctor Kevin. Yeah, he's amazing.

700
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's absolutely amazing.

701
00:32:24,599 --> 00:32:27,799
Speaker 1: And so tell me about now the djaying. Are you

702
00:32:27,839 --> 00:32:29,160
actively djying? Oh?

703
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 3: Absolutely, yeah, I can't stop. It's it's something that I

704
00:32:32,759 --> 00:32:36,720
do every single day. Yeah, it's been my passion for

705
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,839
the longest time, solely really uh house music you know,

706
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,319
which is which is a genre that.

707
00:32:42,319 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 2: Started way back.

708
00:32:45,359 --> 00:32:49,039
Speaker 3: But when I first heard it, it was so different

709
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:53,720
from the mainstream sound, you know, and I became just

710
00:32:54,279 --> 00:32:57,759
fully addicted to it, and uh so I just I

711
00:32:57,839 --> 00:33:00,480
just play, you know, if people want to hear it, cool,

712
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,319
you know. And I never really got too many gigs

713
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:06,799
when I was younger. I'm not, like, really, it's not

714
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:11,559
my motivation to really get gigs. I just love to play.

715
00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:15,599
So if people want me to play, I'm playing yep, yep,

716
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,880
because it does something for me and I know that

717
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,440
it'll do something for somebody else.

718
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: Yep. How often do you play out?

719
00:33:23,079 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 3: I mean I play every single day, you know, and

720
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,039
I stream on on YouTube. I've got a YouTube yep.

721
00:33:28,079 --> 00:33:32,839
I've got a YouTube channel excellent for the Healer. And

722
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,160
I mean I play, like I said, I play every day.

723
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:39,319
I stream probably once a week. Yes, just my passion, Matt.

724
00:33:39,799 --> 00:33:41,759
Speaker 1: With the streaming, do you run it into any you know,

725
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:46,039
they're constantly changing how they approach it with this show,

726
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,119
you know, because we stream on YouTube and with this show,

727
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:52,480
like I'll get I don't get copyright strike because that's

728
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,319
only if someone actually wants to, you know, really go

729
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,240
at you. But but I I just get the thing

730
00:33:57,279 --> 00:34:00,640
that says, you can't monetize this all this, which is fine?

731
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,720
Is that is that all the time, But but you

732
00:34:02,759 --> 00:34:04,599
don't get struck, right, that's good.

733
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll tell me that, like some of my mixes

734
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,880
will tell me that it's it's a portion of it's

735
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,480
being muted in certain countries.

736
00:34:10,679 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah.

737
00:34:12,519 --> 00:34:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.

738
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,599
Speaker 3: And I find that YouTube's actually the easier one outside

739
00:34:16,639 --> 00:34:19,440
of twitch twitches. Twitch is great, I just haven't used

740
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:23,280
it since last year. Yeah, YouTube has been great as

741
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:27,519
far as getting a reach aside from like Facebook, going

742
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:30,440
Facebook Live. I can never really keep the stream on

743
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,039
on Facebook. But yeah, yeah, I've been having good luck.

744
00:34:33,079 --> 00:34:35,639
But yeah, the same thing happens to me with YouTube.

745
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: With Facebook because we also stream to Facebook, and I

746
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,840
get I'll get a notification afterward that says, now it's

747
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:45,679
it's fine because well, once in a while it'll say

748
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,719
your videos muted. Yeah, parts of your video are muted.

749
00:34:49,079 --> 00:34:51,239
But most of the time it'll say your video is

750
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,079
sharing ad revenue with.

751
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 2: Whoever was I've caught that one whoever was on show

752
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:55,960
that day?

753
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,519
Speaker 1: This is fine?

754
00:34:56,519 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 2: You know what does that mean?

755
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,239
Speaker 1: It just means that. So, so I guess Facebook is

756
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:08,079
collecting money if your stream generates money, But nothing I

757
00:35:08,159 --> 00:35:10,679
have on there is monetized anyway, So I don't even

758
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,639
know how. Like if you go to one of my

759
00:35:13,639 --> 00:35:16,159
Facebook videos, it's not like an ad pops up, but

760
00:35:16,679 --> 00:35:20,000
if something were generated from it, I guess I'm sharing

761
00:35:20,039 --> 00:35:23,159
the revenue that I'm that I don't get anyway. I mean,

762
00:35:23,159 --> 00:35:25,159
I'm sharing the revenue with whoever was on the show

763
00:35:25,159 --> 00:35:28,960
that day, whose music we featured, because they own the copyright.

764
00:35:29,039 --> 00:35:32,039
Because I'll tell you, Facebook and YouTube, their content ID

765
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,480
systems have gotten to be as I'm sure you've noticed

766
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:39,360
doing what you do with the streaming. They really they're

767
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,599
really on top of it now, you know, it's like

768
00:35:41,639 --> 00:35:44,880
there's no way, there's no getting around it. Like used

769
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,440
to be able to kind of fool the content I

770
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,800
thots by, you know, if you maybe play with the

771
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:54,119
speed on something. Yeah, yeah, but now it's like there's

772
00:35:54,159 --> 00:36:00,000
no fool and there's no fool in anybody anyway. Yeah exactly.

773
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 2: It just can listen and it knows exactly. Yep, yep. Yeah.

774
00:36:09,199 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: Now what what else do you plan to do at

775
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,239
the spot when it opens? So obviously you're gonna have

776
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,639
live music. You talked about what you might do in

777
00:36:15,679 --> 00:36:18,519
the basement with a studio. Did you have any other

778
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:19,440
other plans for.

779
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I want to do comedy nights. I want

780
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:25,679
to do poetry nights. Maybe even considering putting like a

781
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,719
projector screen up and doing movie nights once a week.

782
00:36:31,159 --> 00:36:36,840
Basically what my vision for it is. You know, during

783
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,039
the summers, we have a lot of my my course

784
00:36:40,119 --> 00:36:42,360
circle come over to my house and and we sit

785
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,599
around the fire and like I'll bring the turntables outside

786
00:36:46,159 --> 00:36:49,159
and uh light the tiki torches, and we just kind

787
00:36:49,159 --> 00:36:51,800
of create a vibe. And it's the vibe that like,

788
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,280
I'm very like I told you, I'm very scatter brained,

789
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,320
and that can come with a lot of anxiety as

790
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,920
well for no reason. But when I when I'm able

791
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,400
to do that and get my friends to come around,

792
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,320
like it immediately heals me to a place where, like

793
00:37:06,639 --> 00:37:09,119
the anxiety is gone. So thank you guys for coming

794
00:37:09,159 --> 00:37:12,320
over when I when I do that. But what we

795
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,199
want to do with the Spot is kind of encompass

796
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:19,480
that same vibe down at the spot. It's like just

797
00:37:19,559 --> 00:37:23,079
come down, hang out, leave the worries at the door

798
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,559
and just have a good time with us. Yeah, that's it,

799
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,320
and listen to some great music, check out some cool

800
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,920
art and that's it.

801
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,039
Speaker 2: Man, it's simple. Yeah, yeah, that's great. Yeah, thank you.

802
00:37:35,519 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: Oh. By the way, Eleanora of course is in the chat,

803
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,920
she said, regarding our we were just talking about content ID.

804
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,400
She said, get music business knowledge at New Hampshire Underground.

805
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:48,079
Speaker 2: Yes, she's right, and she's great. I love the new name,

806
00:37:48,119 --> 00:37:50,360
by the way, I do too, I do too.

807
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:56,320
Speaker 1: I told her recently. I said, uh see, I can't.

808
00:37:56,639 --> 00:37:58,440
I'm having trouble even pulling it up in my brain

809
00:37:58,519 --> 00:38:00,239
now because I used to trip over when I would

810
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:02,079
try to say midnight midnight.

811
00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:03,199
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah I would.

812
00:38:03,199 --> 00:38:04,519
Speaker 1: I would trip over it when I would try to

813
00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:06,480
make it in the air, and I think one time

814
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:10,199
I ended up saying midnight creatures. Like I don't even

815
00:38:10,199 --> 00:38:13,079
know where I got the word creatures from. Somehow that

816
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:15,400
ended up in my brain. And so it's much easier

817
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,719
to say New Hampshire under absolutely, and it's you know,

818
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,519
and the venue is Terminus Underground, so you've got so

819
00:38:20,599 --> 00:38:23,079
it's those consistency of the Underground.

820
00:38:23,079 --> 00:38:25,519
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's a very very positive move. Yeah,

821
00:38:25,519 --> 00:38:25,840
I want to.

822
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,599
Speaker 3: I want to shout her out real quick for anybody

823
00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:32,800
that's like, uh has has questions about, you know, the

824
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,320

849
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,880
He I used to deliver packages for ups and he

850
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,920
worked for FedEx and we would always run into each

851
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,280
other on the road and that's how we formed a relationship.

852
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,440
And as of late, he's been throwing up these little

853
00:39:49,519 --> 00:39:53,360
videos of him playing acoustic on his Facebook and I'm

I'm dying to get him down. He's a little nervous

856
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:05,159
about it, and I understand that, but man, Larry, people

857
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,760

00:42:24,159 --> 00:42:26,119
just sit there for a couple of minutes and skip

909
00:42:26,159 --> 00:42:30,719
