• 0:48
  Speaker 1: book that you've released.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I absolutely am. Thank you.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Please tell me that you had a great time doing this, because,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I mean, you uncover some things here that just made
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that made me. There were times that I failt some shivers.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: There were times that I felt like, yeah, you go
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for it man. You're an activator. I mean, you really
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: do let us inside a path that we're all out here,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: but now you let us inside.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: The idea of it was to really bring you know,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: you into my consciousness, you know, and have you take
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: on my thoughts for a little while.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: That's my kind of language right there. Man, you're speaking
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: my stream because I totally believe in that, because I
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: believe that we're all stream thinkers. But what are we
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: going to do with it? Well? Sebastian put it in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: a book.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: That's right, how the Ferris Wheel is Broken?
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: That title. First of all, I had to I had
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to laugh because my daughter graduated from UCLA, and so
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: when I thought of ferris wheels, I either thought of
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Myrtle Beach or I thought of a right there in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the LA area, with being out there on the ocean
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and stuff. And it's like, oh my god, everybody has
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: a ferris wheel somewhere. They can relate with this.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: They do, they do.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: And it was broken for a while on the pier.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I remember that there was this big project to fix it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: But that title comes from a friend of mine was
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: drinking in a bar down South and the name of
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the drink he was drinking.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Was how the Ferris Wheel was Broken? Yep.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: And I was working on the book at the time,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and once I heard that, I was like, that's absolutely
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: the name of this book.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Just the title itself. Do you got a rap song
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: inside of you? Or you got a country song that
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: we can spin backwards and get everything back.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: It's a great song title for sure.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, I mean you cover things. I mean speaking
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: to music, I mean we're talking about Sarah here. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: was introduced to Sarah finally, and that is she's from Boulder,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Colorado and a drummer for a punk rock band. I mean,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I knew Utah had a lot of punk rock going on,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but I didn't realize that Boulder was just as cool.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh yeah.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: She did that for a little while, and I believe,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: like the mid eighties that was going on. And they
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: released one record, one sort of single on a compilation.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: But see that, to me is another art form in
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the way of music. And I was shocked that I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: didn't hear you put your muse again there. If you've
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: got music, and I know you do because you're creative.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Yes I do. My music's under a badness. That's kind
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: of the name I go by. And yeah, I finally
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: about five years ago recorded you know, five of my
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: songs and put them out there again, just you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: make sure I get that done before I die.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: How did you feel about going in that studio, because
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I've been in there twice with the big engineer, with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the individual musicians that I had to hire on the spot.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: How did you have to deal with it?
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You know, I got really lucky in that sense because
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: a kid who was much older than me, but a
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: family friend, grew up in the little town that I'm
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: from in Connecticut and.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: He moved back and he built the whole studio.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: So I just went in started talking to him, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: you know, we were bonding just as you know old friends,
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and you know, got deep into talking about music, and
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: he's like, yeah, man, let's let's do this right here.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: So I actually had a carpe blanche like perfect situation
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: My god.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I love the way that the old time rock and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: rollers that are in the Hall of Fame and stuff
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: like that look at people like yourself and they're going,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: my god. I wish I would have had those tools.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I wish I could have just dropped my life for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a moment, stepped into an easygoing studio. But they had
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to go the route of making sure they got the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: studio itself and buy the tape and go through that rigamaru.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I love where we are with music, and you really
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: are stepping forward and will inspire people to do that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, with all the new technology now, you
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: really could just figure out how to do it by
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: yourself in your own room, you know what I mean.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I like the collaboration aspect, and you know, I'm not
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: a traditionally trained musician.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I had to figure it out myself.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: And this guy who I recorded with, he went to like,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you know, music school, so it was great to have
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: that advantage, you know.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Dude.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I just dropped it down on Adobe Audition and then
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: took it to the engineer and said do something with it. And
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he says, you know, we're gonna have to hire a
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: different musicians. I said, that's fine. He says, you we
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: got a budget for that. No, you've got the budget.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I'll pay you later.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: So exactly, I'm all any musicians we had come play
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: on it, they were pretty cool too. They were all local,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and you know, it was it was very reasonable to
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: have them come in and do stuff.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Oh we're just getting started. Please do not move. We're
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: back with Sebastian Tillinger Coming up next the name of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the book How the Ferris Wheel Was Broken, A love
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: letter to Los Angeles. Ooh, if that doesn't get your attention,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: we are back with actor author Sebastian Tillinger. While you
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: were writing the book, did you have the presence of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a muse? And the reason why I bring that up
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: is because even as we speak, I'm overlooking this force
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: where we planted fifteen hundred trees, and this forest stretches
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: all the way to this area where there were Native
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Americans that lived here in the fourteen hundreds. I believe
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that's who's speaking through my writing. Who is your writer?
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Wow?
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: The you know, the main thing is I do a
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: lot of different creative things, and I think that the
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: energy is the same, it just moves in a different direction.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And I believe that that same energy is in all
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: of us. You know, We're just all different versions of
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: kind of the same thing. So what I really wanted
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: to do is I wanted to tap into that I
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: wouldn't say unconscious, because these are definitely conscious thoughts that
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: I've been having, but I wanted to tap into that
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: thing and reveal aside to you know, being a human being,
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: especially at that time in nineteen ninety nine, in a
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: really truthful and honest way without being self conscious.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You know, is that kind of odd for you to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: say nineteen ninety nine, because I mean to me, I mean,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: first of all, I'm going through that first stage where
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: people are starting to look at you being Oh, you're
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: one of the old timers.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: No I'm not.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: No, I'm stealing nineteen seventy nine. Man, don't teell me
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I'm an old timer.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: No, right, what did you go through?
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's weird. I don't feel time in that way,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you know. I feel like life happens so quickly. It's
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: like a flash, right, So I'm just holding on to
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: this ride for dear life.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Once I developed as a human being and sort of
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: had this conscious mind that I've had since like nine
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: years old, it's been the same thing, you know.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: So like one of the things that I really chuckled
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: out loud about because at least you get it where
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: other people don't. You talk about fifty seven characters cramped
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: inside your head. I used to tell people, well, those
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: are all my personalities, until I was corrected they are
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not personalities. They are rules that you're playing. Oh, well
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in this movie, then I guess so Bastian has fifty
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: seven different actors playing in his head right now, then
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: they're roles.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: That's the difficult thing about being an actor is as
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: much as you try and just pick it up and
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: drop it, you don't. You know, these different characters, these
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: andalities you create, they get kind of stuck in there.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: And then sometimes you're out in your life and things
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: happen and you're reacting and you're like, wait a minute,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: that's that's not me reacting. That's the character I was
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: just working on two days ago. I'm not like that
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: at all.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: So true. Well, I always look at it like Russell
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Crow in Beautiful Minds, what they're all walking with us.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: You just can't see him, but they're there. I can
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: see him.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: They're there.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: And one of the most profound things about becoming an
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: actor and training as one is that, you know, you
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: realize how we all are kind of acting a little
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: bit all the time. You know, we we sort of
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: present the world with a personality of our choosing, which
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I always found very interesting.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You brought something together in this side this book that
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: really rocked me. In the way that it being in radio.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: As long as I have, we had to endure the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: presence of what could be y two K. I'm so
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: glad that you talk about it because it's lost in history,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: but you're going to wake some souls up by talking
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: about it.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a crazy time. I remember people were
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: selling up their stuff and moving down to the bunkers
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: in the woods, and you know, it wasn't ever present
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: that like, you know, it was like a daily you know, fear.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: But at the same time everything you did, in the
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: back of your mind, you.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Were like, well, is this the last year? Is is
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: everything going to change? You know?
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: And I think it mirrors right now the same kind
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: of vibe we have with the you know, AI technology
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: that they again a couple of years ago they started
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: telling us it's terrible, it's going to kill us all,
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: and now they're kind of changing their tune and saying, well,
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it's okay as long as we control it. I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: it's kind of the same thing in a way.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, I just had an argument with Jim and I
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and I'm always arguing with with Alexa because if they
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: don't go the way I want her. I said, you're Ai,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: You're supposed to be listening to me. You're supposed to
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: be given me what I want. I'm sorry, I can't
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: do that right now. Oh and you're supposed to be
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: the future. What are you feeling, dude?
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm still waiting for that technology to really figure
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: itself out.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those things are useless.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You are? Where can people go to find out more
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: about you, Sebastian, Because A I love this book. It's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: so relatable. It is a talking piece, and I'm sure
• 10:11

• 10:13
