• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going pretty good.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Doing pretty good. Getting with the press.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I've been doing some press, but this is
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: my first one today. So yes, you got me fresh
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: as a daisy.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Just how I like you. Yeah, well, I can fully
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: appreciate that it would be quite heavy press for you
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: at the moment, and I was thinking, might take this
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fun and lighthearted as possible. If you're up for that, sure, yep, awesome,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: all right, but.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: You don't want to talk about death for.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean it is one of my but.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: We'll sprinkle it in.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it. We'll pepper the conversation. Sorry. I thought
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: would start off with something cool and talk about the
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Georgia Aquarium show. But you did.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Did you ever think in your career that you would
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: have to create a show purely for fish and to
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: appease our scaly brethren.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: No, it wasn't on my It wasn't on my Bengo
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: card or my bucket list.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't think.
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: But you know, always up for a challenge. They were
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: a challenging audience. They didn't want to hear anything above
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a certain decibel level. Apparently, I don't know if they
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: were actually if they asked them individually, but we were
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: just told that we wanted to play Levinathan in its
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: entirety and not do an acoustic set. We just thought
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: we were gonna go in there with our full on
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: deal and just play like normal, and they were like, no,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: you can't do that.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: The fish just in the background, like shell shocked.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess so, I mean, you know, I guess
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: there's not a lot of didn't have a lot of
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: bands unfortunately, just that one, just that one. I mean
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: if they usually if they break into song, it's something
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: kind of a Calypso type of situation, like like The
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Little Mermaid.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, way up from.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That's all they like is Calypso music.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: But actually turned out to be a pretty awesome show,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: like across a lot of songs from your repertoire as well.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the left time when they told when
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: they told, I mean, first and foremost, the Georgia Aquarium
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: is such an awesome place, and it's like, you know,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: it's one of those places that if anybody comes to
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: visit Atlanta, we always you know, that's like one of
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the number one places that we're going to take them
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: just to check it out. It's like, you know, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: think when they built it, it was at the time
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the largest they had the largest tank in the world.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I think Japan now has that record, but yeah, close enough. Anyway,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: it's still it's a a majestic place to bring your
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: friends and family members that come to visit.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: The idea of doing it, we kind of brought it up,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: almost jokingly, like they would never let us go do that.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: But the yeah, you uh, the mighty dollars, you know.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: It was it was during COVID, so I think everyone
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: was looking for ways to subsidize their you know, figure
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: out how they're going to make a little bit more
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: uh stacks of more cheese. So and it was a cool,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: a cool way for us to sort of explore these
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like stripped down versions of of some of our more
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: popular tunes. And we knew that we had a bunch
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: of songs that you know, were more acoustic and could
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: could benefit from that situation.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: So it was it was awesome and the backdrop was incredible.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, the shots are amazing, But it would have been
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a challenge too, because what was the decibel that you
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: had to stay on?
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Now, Oh, I have no idea.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't even tell you.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: It was very low now they said it, but I
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: don't remember the exact number, but it was it was
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: pretty low. And they had somebody there checking it the
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: whole time, make sure we were underneath it.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that's the hell of a gamble.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a gamble. No, it was cool, that
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: was it was. It was just I liked.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Some of the Some fish were more curious than others,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: you know, Tom, They want to come over and like
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: chill and be like, what is what are you guys doing?
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: This is not my not our normal views.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So it was kind of cool playing and looking over
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and there was this goliath grouper that was kind of
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: chilling near me, just kind of looking at me, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: we made a connection. I kept in touch with them
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: over the years. He's, uh, he's done pretty well.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Of course he's done well for himself, but also it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: gets like pick dongs he's made, so like, surely that's
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a fever dream. There's no way Master Don had played
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: an aquarium.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Talking about the COVID days, it would be missed to
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: not talk about clowns with you, right, So you you
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: released one hundred and one Clowns of the Coronavirus, which
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: went from fourteen days of sketching clowns to a comedy
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: one hundred and one. Yes, and there was a buffer
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: met with boobs, which was a crowd favorite for me.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So you would have arguably upset all the Karens in
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the world, or hopefully what was the favorite that you've
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: released from there? Do you have one that stands out?
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They all kind of ran together. I will say that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: like I didn't. I wasn't like I couldn't. I didn't
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: really wasn't able to really draw that well, you know beforehand,
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: or I hadn't drawn in a long time, and I
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: was I was sort of challenging myself as it went along,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: where I would get an idea and then the old
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: me would say, no, that's too hard, you're gonna you're
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: not going to do a good job at that, so
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: don't even try.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: But I was like, threw that, let me try.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: I'll see if I can do that, you know, just
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and there was a lot of things that I pulled off,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: like perspective wise, and as I went along through that
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: like artistic experiment that I had little moments of hey,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I pulled that off. It looks it looks it looks
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: like I wanted it to look or whatever, you know.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: So I will say.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: That that was that made me happy, where in a
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: time of needing, little little dopamine.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Hits of like yay.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: But as also you know, because we couldn't really get
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: together and jam and so it was a nice opportunity.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: You know, I didn't lose anyone close to me, and
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: we just spent a lot of time cooped up in
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: the house.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So it was a good artistic release.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: For me, and you know, I had I had some
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: fun doing It's almost sad to say, but I think
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: that there's a lot of people sort of in that boat,
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that there was a portion of.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: That time where you finally like maybe some people.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Relaxed for the first time in a long time, just
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: because they were forced to h There were some silver
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: linings in there, you know. I mean, there was a
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: lot of death and it was really really horrible, and
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: but there was also some things that came out of
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: it that we weren't weren't terrible.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I think it's the opposite of like,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's very freaking cool that you went into
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it and you can't even draw. You're like, do you
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: know what, I'm going to teach pop culture through a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: clown lens? And I'm gonna yeah, Well it was.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: You know, the clown is such an iconic thing that
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: you can basically clown anything.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: You know. You know, yeah, I proved it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's blunny, epic. So I'd love to talk to you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: about Dromo as well, because it's like it's a stroke
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: of genius, this this series, and you've been quite a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: big part of it. I think it's really cool. It
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: puts me into a trans like state watching people dissect
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and try to work everything out. So how cool is
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it for you to sit there and watch people try
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: to fill in the gaps to your music and go,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you know, piece it together and then play it back
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: to y'all.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: That's the coolest part is people. There's been a couple
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: of people that have done some massed on songs. That's
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: just so cool to see other people's takes on your
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: you know when because you really have no idea if
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: you've never heard the song before, you don't know what's
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: you're supposed to put.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: There, so you just do, which is just just.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: Such a cool experiment, and it's just interesting to see
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: everyone's method and everyone's approach. And you know, there's just
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: so many incredibly talented players that go on drumo and
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and so many incredibly talented drummers and players throughout the world.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: But it's just cool to see everybody's process, you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: because it's everyone's different and everyone has their little ways
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: that they can remember stuff. And you know, there's a
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: lot of people that are super schooled and you can
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: see that they're they're doing their thing the way that
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: they're used to doing it. And then there's like, you know,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: guys like me that just have to like sit and
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: basically listen and and uh and just memorize the parts
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: when they come up, and so you know, it's it's
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: it's a really cool experiment. I love it, Like it's
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: one of one of my favorite things to watch on
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the internet when I see that they have a new
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: I mean not just the you know, people playing their.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Own songs and stuff. It's that that's great to see
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: But I think that you know, most people would agree
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that it's brought in like non drummers, and you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: because it's it's exciting to see a song that you
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: might like or something that you see like this other
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: artist from this other genre of music has never heard before.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: You're like, oh man, I can't wait to see what
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: they're gonna play over that.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: You know it's gonna be.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: It's always a little embarrassing at the end for the
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: for the performer because you you don't you don't have
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: that much time to really come up with something. But
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: it's it's cool on the spot to do your thing
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: and then be like okay maybe, and you can see
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: everyone's insecurities, you know, like it really it really strips
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: everybody down to their their their bare nakedness almost you know,
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: where they have to. Everyone's making their apologies beforehand, you know,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: because they don't want to defend the.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Fans of the band. Sorry, I'm gonna butcher this song.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: I'm really sorry everybody, you know, so you can see
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: everyone's humanity.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Because when it's your song and you've.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Been you know, you can walk around and you can
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: walk I say, I can walk around that kitchen blindfolded
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: and find all the all the plates and silverware and everything.
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: But when it's not your song and you've never heard before,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and you got to come up with something. It's a
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: it's a really unique and cool, fun challenge and kind
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: of levels the playing field almost you know for a
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: lot of players.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so true. And it does strip it down
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: to a human level of something that everyone can relate to.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: And I think it's for me. I find watching them
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: work it all out, it's like there's this unspoken language
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: between musicians and those who can play. It's like a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: telepathic thing that they're looking into and it's it's just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it's so cool to watch it all break down in
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: front of you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you can tell, like like a player, what they're
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: what they're cluing in on, you know, uh as you're
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: because you need like landmarks, especially if you know, and people,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: even if they're not school, they'll write down weird little things,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: you know, just to just clues, like okay, I need
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: to remember that the slayer part at the fourth measure
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: or whatever. You use to to write down your landmarks,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: so you have your landmarks in your mind, you know.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: So it kind of reminds me of a you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: before we used before we had maps and and uh
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: before we had you know, all our directions being told
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: to us on our phone, you know, you had to like, Okay,
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: the this big oak tree is right here, and then
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: that red store is right there, and you take it
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: right at that red store, and then the traffic light
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: that's out take it left there, you know.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Ye yeah, yeah, So I'll confess I had no idea
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: how drummers write down music. And that's something that I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: looked up from watching drummer. I went, what is he doing?
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Of course, like it's not all my memory like some
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: people would. Actually there's a way to write drums like confessions.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, drummers read music. It's it's it's it's something
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you really really have to work at, you know. And yeah,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: I admire the folks that dug in on it. I
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: just when I was a kid, I just didn't I
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: didn't go I didn't have lessons or anything, and so
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I just learned by ear, you know, I just played
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: a long to my favorite records and tapes or whatever.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: And then when I was maybe thirteen or so, I
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: started having kids from school, started getting instruments and coming
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: over and we would jam and play abysmal versions of
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Metallica songs and stuff like that to sort of cut
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: our teeth and and you know, figure out how it
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: all works and figure out how to jam together as people,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: which is I think the most one of the most
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: important things is jamming with other people and learning how
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: to you know, the ebbs and flows of of of
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: playing music with somebody.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, arguably one of the most important things. And connecting.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: That's what music's all about, you know, sharing connections.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: It takes it takes the hanging out in the basement
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to another level of friendship. You know, like a damn,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: this is fun. It kind of sounded like Metallica one
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: a little bit here.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: We freaking get it. So talking about stripping people down
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: to a human level. I'm a big as the Osborne geek.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: I adore him to the point where just before he
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: passed away, I got a puppy and we called him
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: mister Crowley. So I love him to death, like he's
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: it's the pug of darkness.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Whow.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: So I wanted to quickly talk about it, because do
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: you think there will ever be another concert where you've
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: got the big heavyweights like Metallica tool yourself, who are
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: just playing raw, like there's no ego, there's no nothing,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: it's just playing music, and it's everyone's kind of on
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: the same equal plane there, like it would have been
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: a crazy experience to be a part of.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: It was really incredible, a very just a really beautiful uh,
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: just a lot of love coming from everywhere, the whole
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: obviously the stadium filled with fans, and then all the bands,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you know, the biggest bands in the world, just kind
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: of bowing down to Sabbath and being like, we just
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: want to honor you. We just want to send you
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: off the right way and and say thank you and
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: the only way we know how to to jam and
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: and just show you, you know, the forefathers of heavy
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: metal and and Ozzy Osbourne, the prince of darkness, but
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: the funniest ever. Uh, you know, you just you just
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: we just everybody just wanted to do a great job
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: for them, say to say thank you, you know. But no,
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be another like that. I just
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: don't think that it's a possibility. Really, there might be
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: different there might be different versions of it because people
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: might get the idea.
• 15:00

  Speaker 3: on for a few years and kept seeing these cancelations
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and stuff. I had this big velvet painting of Ozzie

• 16:47
  Speaker 3: metal wouldn't exist without them, and the beautiful community that
