• 0:07
  Speaker 1: mean they are all over the place. Any program director
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: would say, I don't know, man, this guy's all over
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the place. We need to pull him back. Ah ah,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Because I know what your choice is. I know what
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you want in your life when you're driving in the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: car or your city at work. One of the hottest
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: features is Forest Stories. I live in a forest. I've
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: been here for over thirty two years. The question is
• 0:29

• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of land that had people on it long before I
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: got here? For stories only on Arrow dot net ar

• 0:45
  Speaker 1: love sharing conversations. Hosting them, though, is going to require
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of show prep. My podcasting platform features thousands
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: of guests, and what you don't have access to are
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: my missed opportunities. The show prep was one hundred percent completed,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the conversation didn't happen. I keep all of my notes
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because I believe the paths will one day cross again.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Let me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: without their answers. I'm leaving open enough space at the
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: end of every single question, hoping they'll download the talk
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: and insert their answers. Missed Opportunity is a lost piece
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: of history. It is a message in a bottle that's
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: been tossed out to see. My goal is to locate
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a destination. This week, we're putting focus on my Missed
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Opportunity with singer songwriter Ian McGregor from the band American
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: jet Set. Yeah. Ian Cain McGregor from American jet Set
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: identified as a sleeze rock pop band direct descendants of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Sleeping Giants on Sunset Strip. Although their music defies most
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: rules of music, American jet Set is rooted in pure rock.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Releasing their debut EP in twoenty eighteen, the band has
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: built a solid following with the underground music scene, relentless touring,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: larger than life stages, and a growing catalog that's really
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: scoring them millions of streams around the globe. They are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: known for their high energy stage show. American jet Set
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is a must see on a live stage. They've shared
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that stage with Faster Pussycat, Jack Russell's Great White Winger,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and much more, and even today they are a huge
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: ticket purchase for those who really love live rock. The
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: invitation to share a conversation with Ian McGregor of American
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: jet Set came on January seventeenth, twenty twenty four. At
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that time, they were pushing the song Firestarter for Big
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Curve Music. The interview day was set for January twenty ninth.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: At two pm Eastern. A zoom link was sent and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: that tells me right away, Oh baby, this thing's going down. Well,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the connection wasn't made. Zoom, Bean, Zoom. It's not always
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a guarantee. The PR department quickly sent an invitation for
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: February fifth, twenty twenty four. This time around three pm.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: The zoom link was sent. The connection wasn't made. It
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: was a missed opportunity. Hey, coming up next my questions,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: my statements, and hopefully their answers in the future. This
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: is missed opportunity. Hey, thanks for coming back to missed
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: opportunity this week. My missed opportunity is with Ian from
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: American jet Set. The best part of your current project
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: includes what what is it that we fans of music
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: aren't getting to see but you experienced it. The new
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: single is Firestarter. You've tapped into a true sound here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: That's definitely mia from a lot of radio stations these days.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I love the cover the bright Red Skull. My god,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: you guys put thought into this baby. The video ooh,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the edge is the combination of every instrument at the tempo.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: What what'd you guys do? Go ninety miles per hour
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: when you put this thing together? What is your live
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: stage really like? I mean, we get to see it,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but you get to experience it the touring? My god,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: you guys don't even look tired. How do you get
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: fans into those seats? How are you working that social media?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The hook of your song it always turns into a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: hum when the song has stopped. In other words, it's
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: transferring right into me, and I'm humming right along even
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: though you're not playing through those speakers. How do you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: keep us singing like that? All right, you're gonna have
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to define for me sleeze rock, pop rock? What exactly
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: does that mean? The goal has always been to be misfits.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, you guys see yourself on Sunset Strip. You
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: perform there and then people come out going what just
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: hit me? And they can can't shake it? That says
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a lot about you guys on that stage. How do
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: you lay out every song in the studio? I mean,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: do you just get this vibe and say, h, we're
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: gonna work on that and we'll deal on where we're
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: gonna place it on the EP or the album coming
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: up next. And there you have it, another missed opportunity,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: a lost piece of history. You now know the questions,
