Transcript
- 0:00What's up guys? Welcome back to the Downbeat
- 0:02podcast. Happy holidays if you celebrate,
- 0:04if you don't celebrate, I hope you're at least getting some
- 0:06time off work, eating some good food of whatever, you know,
- 0:10whatever food you want. Basically, what's going to go on
- 0:15a sort of Hanukkah, people that don't celebrate Christmas, like
- 0:21tangent there, but I don't know enough about the food, so let's
- 0:23just get straight into it. My guests on the podcast this
- 0:26week, the vocalist from self-proclaimed spin kick
- 0:30deathcore band Psycho Frame. Now I know you guys always say
- 0:35that I'm always like, oh this is my favorite album of the year,
- 0:38but Spotify wrapped the numbers Don't lie.
- 0:41Salvation Laughs in the face of a grieving mother is definitely
- 0:45in my top five for the year. An unbelievable record is
- 0:50absolute brutality at its finest.
- 0:53One of my favourite new bands. It was great to catch up with
- 0:57the guys, talk about the history of the band, their previous
- 0:59bands. I toured with Mike before we
- 1:02delve a little bit into how the album was made.
- 1:04Lyrical concepts. I was pretty surprised by some
- 1:07of the lyrical content. I thought about Something Else
- 1:10Ends Up is about Something Else, so we delve into that a little
- 1:12bit. After the podcast, I went to see
- 1:14their show in Nashville and believe me, if you can go see

- 3:41Psycho Frame on the Downbeat podcast.
- 3:56That's for Simon, yeah. Who's to Simon?
- 4:01Simon's the other. Simon cuts it all together and
- 4:04makes it look cool. Simon's awesome.
- 4:06Simon is awesome. I've been saying that for years.
- 4:09He doesn't believe it. Me too bro.
- 4:12Simon High Key may be one of my biggest fans across the pond.
- 4:15Actually. Possibly he talks about anything
- 4:18that I've done for the last like 5 years the most.
- 4:21Over there. Let's just open out with a big
- 4:23Simon thing anyway. Coulter, Mike, Psycho friend.
- 4:26Thanks for being here. We're just talking about Simon.
- 4:29Simon Dead Souls 13 I think his name is.
- 4:33We used to gas vacuum up back in the day.
- 4:36Yeah, no, I, I remember him. Posting Yeah, there we go.
- 4:39Simon, you got Simon. This is going to stay in.
- 4:41This isn't even a fucking edit, boys.
- 4:44Thanks for coming. Of course.
- 4:46First day at all Hectic. Scary.
- 4:49Tech issues. Yeah.
- 4:50Go on, what was it? Or in ear rig, you know, you
- 4:54practice the day before, everything's great.
- 4:57Yep. And then you show up on stage
- 4:59for sound check and then he has to be.
- 5:02Honest, everything wasn't great. I just don't bring up any
- 5:04problems and then I go, hey, is this normal?
- 5:07There he goes. No.
- 5:09At rehearsal there was problems. I was just like this is probably
- 5:12normal. What was the problem?
- 5:14My ear and ears are just going and I'm like, that's cool.
- 5:18You were like. And then when everyone plays, I
- 5:19can like kind of not hear something.
- 5:20It's probably what it's like. This must be normal.
- 5:23Yeah. So then today sound check
- 5:25happened. I just asked and then it.
- 5:29It became I. Was like I will fix this because
- 5:32he's very good at his job and it just took longer.
- 5:35But the whole practice, you just practiced with that.
- 5:38Yeah. And then today, nice splash.
- 5:41That was insane. I did not expect that.
- 5:43So you got to sort it. Yeah, we're good.
- 5:45Sure. Who's on?
- 5:46What's in the in ear mix? Like what does everyone have?
- 5:49I mean, just really like the band.
- 5:53We have like a backtrack, of course, coming out of a laptop.
- 5:56But everything else is just live drums.
- 5:59You know our guitars. I just tried to make it sound
- 6:01like what it sounds like. On the record.
- 6:03When we play on stage. But do you have the click?
- 6:06Yeah, I have a click in mind. I don't know if you're using.
- 6:08Poquito. Tiny little bit click.
- 6:10I got him turned down. What about AOA?
- 6:12Not even a disc. It's hard to get.
- 6:15Two vocals, yes. It's awesome, Yeah.
- 6:18When you feel it, I got. I got questions later on about
- 6:21your AOH because they're fucking to die for.
- 6:24There's maybe 500 in our set. You just picked up on something
- 6:27that I wanted to ask later on, but it's much more natural to
- 6:30ask it now. So you said you have less mic in
- 6:33your Yeah, like on stage. How do you decide who's going to
- 6:39be where? We don't.
- 6:42We just kind of run around. But from what I've seen, it
- 6:45doesn't look like physically, Yeah, like physically.
- 6:48We. Two goaded ass white boys.
- 6:49Everyday in a learning experience.
- 6:53So like, I don't know, whenever we first started, I guess I
- 6:58don't know. I don't really know 'cause like
- 7:00so Coulter replaced the original other singer, John and yes.
- 7:06And when John and I were playing in the band, we never really
- 7:10like crossed each other's. Like I was stage left vocalist
- 7:14and he was stage right. So we never really crossed that
- 7:17boundary. And I had told him that and
- 7:20without saying anything about it, he said that shit's done.
- 7:23And then I. Can't stand still.
- 7:25Figuring it out from the motherfucker does not stop
- 7:27moving. I can see I.
- 7:29Piss him off so. Then so then I've.
- 7:30Had a few shows where he's like enough you can calm down.
- 7:33Dude, that in where we were in Grand Rapids, that's where I was
- 7:39like, please, for the love of God.
- 7:41But you're just darting around and you're like, I got my space.
- 7:44He also had sunglasses on and couldn't.
- 7:46I'm just. Tripping over everything.
- 7:47I was just. I had my jacket on, sunglasses
- 7:50on, it was dark in. It was just.
- 7:51Being a small stage, huge wing span, You got a real bassist,
- 7:56Yeah, Insane, insane news. For a bass.
- 8:00Real bassist, 2 singers, 2 guitars.
- 8:04One guitar. On guitar 1 guitar, there's one
- 8:05guitar on track. Yeah.
- 8:08It's OK, it's OK. I'll let you off one of them.
- 8:11Is that or bass? On track, yeah, I mean.
- 8:13And then the answer. Everyone got bass on track, at
- 8:15least you visually, you look at it and you're like, this all
- 8:18comprises a band. You're not looking at it and
- 8:20going. Except for two seconds.
- 8:21What the fuck's a bass player? I hear bass.
- 8:23There's no bass. My my issue and I always get
- 8:25into trouble because I was here I'm friends with Counterparts
- 8:27and they're like, they're like the MacBook bass band.
- 8:31I got beef with MacBook bass because you're you're taking a
- 8:35job away from someone. Whereas guitar I can kind of see
- 8:39like, OK, one guitarist wrote all of this.
- 8:41Why not just put one of them on the track?
- 8:44Bass, Come on. Yeah, give a little bassist a
- 8:48job this Christmas. Because not only is the bassist
- 8:51so overlooked and just like not seen as important to people, for
- 8:55bands as an ecosystem to do that to him, that's crazy.
- 8:58Was Mackie ever in Psycho Friend?
- 9:01Legally speaking, yes. Legally speaking.
- 9:05He's on. He's on like the back cover of
- 9:08the first EP, and he does have writing credits on some of those
- 9:13first songs that we released. So like the song Raining Glass,
- 9:18that's him. He's on.
- 9:20Yeah. And when we just toured with
- 9:22them last show, he even came up and did a guest spot with us.
- 9:25And then he walked off and we were like, we're sorry we kicked
- 9:28you out of the. Band the bit every night was
- 9:30shout out. Mackie, thanks for starting the
- 9:32band. Sorry we kicked you out.
- 9:34Did you kick him out? No.
- 9:36Yeah. Mutual didn't name the band.
- 9:39He named the band. He's the Gundam Nerd.
- 9:42He's busy. I mean, I, I also love Gundam,
- 9:45but he, he named it, he came up with that.
- 9:47That's crazy. You are.
- 9:49You just alluded to the tour you just did.
- 9:52Maybe the best lineup I think I've seen in a long time.
- 9:56Wild lineup. Like absolutely insane Malev
- 10:00speed dying with sarcophrine. Yep, that would piss me off
- 10:05being on that tour because I love kind of not watching some
- 10:08of my friends bands. Yeah like I need like 1.
- 10:11I need the band before me because I need to fucking warm
- 10:14up and do this shit. But that tour, I'd be watching
- 10:16everyone. Yeah, all the bad things about
- 10:18that tour were positive things like I want to chill, but I'm
- 10:21going to watch every band every night.
- 10:23Were you on the bus with Malevolent?
- 10:25No, they had their own and theirs was wrapped.
- 10:28They had the monster monster. Logo, the whole thing.
- 10:31Insane, insane how they get away with that.
- 10:34They're. Awesome.
- 10:34Like anyone else on earth that did that, I'd be like, that's
- 10:37the name of this shit ever. And my left does it.
- 10:38I'm like, OK, it's sick. Yeah, no, I didn't bat an eye at
- 10:41it. How was the tour for you guys?
- 10:43Fucking sick. Yeah, so first time over there
- 10:47with this band. With this band, we'll get into
- 10:49that, yeah. With this band, first time over
- 10:52there, so of course like it, you know, you go over, you expect to
- 10:56eat shit, lose money, everyone hates you and you should die
- 11:01like, you know, like that. In the UK.
- 11:04That can happen. And we just didn't feel that
- 11:07like there was maybe 1 show in Germany where like things like
- 11:12truly kind of felt bad, but only for maybe the first half.
- 11:15And it was really just because of like Door and Showtime that
- 11:21was like that got messed up. Yeah, that was again, we're
- 11:24like, you're not fucking with us.
- 11:25They're like, you're all right. Well, that that one actually did
- 11:28feel a little bad. I was from my life.
- 11:30So there's two I mean, you've just named we we'd again, we we
- 11:36did Leipzig. It was still fun twice in the
- 11:38next twice in the last year we did Leipzig and both times it
- 11:42was the worst German. Sorry, Leipzig was the worst
- 11:44German show of the tour. Same thing.
- 11:46Like just the vibe was just like you paid the money, like come be
- 11:50nice to us. What's happening?
- 11:52And they all had a good time, but it's just, I don't think
- 11:54it's culture of going fucking nuts in Leipzig maybe.
- 11:58This may have been the show where everyone on the package.
- 12:01So like, you know, we're opening Dying wish is after us and you
- 12:04speed and the live. This was the show like we walked
- 12:08off stage. I believe if if this is the
- 12:10right show I'm talking about and we said, well, that was one of
- 12:13the shows for sure. Maybe dying wish will have an
- 12:16easier time. Yeah, they walked off stage and
- 12:19they said. No, they crush.
- 12:21They did crush, but they themselves said they're like,
- 12:24fuck, I don't know about that one.
- 12:25If anyone's going to figure this out, it's going to be speech.
- 12:28Oh yeah, that show was weird because we finished our set and
- 12:31I was just like damn, all right, y'all not really rocking with
- 12:34us. It was like, it was good.
- 12:35It was like a pretty full house and everything.
- 12:37And then we just like weren't feeling it because no one was
- 12:40like really interacting that much.
- 12:41And then our set ended and they started chanting for an encore.
- 12:44I was like, you didn't like the first 7?
- 12:47What do you mean so? Weird, isn't it?
- 12:49I wish there was just like a little like a traffic light
- 12:53system that it gets installed on everyone when they go to a show
- 12:57and like in their pocket. And they just vote.
- 12:59You know, like the what the TSA toilets when it's like how or
- 13:02TSA or toilets. How happy are you with the
- 13:05cleanliness of the toilet that but for a show.
- 13:08So they do it throughout the show.
- 13:09So you can see bread, bread, bread over there.
- 13:11We got green over. There I need that.
- 13:13I would love that. I need that.
- 13:15You can come upstairs a couple of Reds boys but quite a lot of
- 13:19green. Unless it's like.
- 13:20It was all red. We got to go.
- 13:22Yeah, unless it's kind of like pandemonium.
- 13:24I think for a lot of US playing the kind of music that we're
- 13:27playing, if we're not seeing like full blown like
- 13:30interaction, like a participation from the crowd,
- 13:34we're just kind of convinced, like fuck you.
- 13:35Guys playing aggressive heavy music and not seeing physical
- 13:38interaction out front is confusing.
- 13:40It's confusing. Because it's like, if you're
- 13:42rocking with it, why are you doing this?
- 13:44Yeah, but then I but. Then they're like one more song
- 13:46like. OK I think of it as well because
- 13:48I literally came back from tour 2 days ago.
- 13:50Similar thing. Bunch of the shows that were
- 13:53like on paper ticket sales, merch sales, best shows, my
- 13:56least favorite show because I thought the crowd weren't into
- 13:58it. Then I think if I was at a show
- 14:02like I don't mosh anymore. Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
- 14:05Yeah. But do this but fuck no am I
- 14:08doing that like. You can't expect that of.
- 14:10Me, I need like a chair. Take me the fuck down.
- 14:12You got any chairs tonight? I'd love that.
- 14:14Give me a little fucking viewing platform.
- 14:17My wife and my in laws came to our Hamburg show and we did have
- 14:22her grandma in a chair on a balcony.
- 14:25Amazing. Best.
- 14:26Seat in the house, everyone in the package is like up on the
- 14:29balcony making sure Nana is having a good time and stuff and
- 14:32I'm like, this is actually the experience I want.
- 14:36Put me in that fucking chair. How did Nana enjoy psycho frame?
- 14:39She so no idea, right, has no idea about this culture.
- 14:45She's never she's never she's never I know she's never thought
- 14:49that it could be like this. So one question I got was if the
- 14:55people moshing were paid actors. That's that's how from her.
- 14:59From her they are. And they are, But obviously
- 15:02that's crazy. Yeah.
- 15:04Paid actors, Yeah. That was how the question the
- 15:07question was phrased, yeah. Just ask me like so do you pay
- 15:09them? To do that, inconceivable that
- 15:11someone would pay money to come do that.
- 15:14It is a great idea, though. Yeah.
- 15:16Like, we're talking about shows that suck.
- 15:17It's just like, I think the show kind of sucks tonight.
- 15:20Send in the fucking team, yeah. Straight up.
- 15:23Take your funny best dancers. Yeah, production bucks.
- 15:25Each get them in. They'll take care of it.
- 15:27They'll get, they'll get them all into it.
- 15:29But no, I did respond and I said I would actually never give
- 15:31these people money. I would just buy a fucking
- 15:34T-shirt. Yeah, I'm stuck.
- 15:36Grandma came. That's fucking awesome.
- 15:38It was awesome. Thank God the show rocked.
- 15:39Did you musically, was she down? Did she understand it?
- 15:43I. Can't imagine not.
- 15:45A chance? That's absolutely insane, what
- 15:47happened. Like at least half the people
- 15:49that watch us don't understand. Yeah, Nana didn't stand a
- 15:52chance. That's.
- 15:53True. Listen, it's my if you want to
- 15:55go on, if you want to go on the statistics, it's my #3 I saw
- 16:01that most played album of the year.
- 16:04OK, I think my statistics are wrong.
- 16:07OK, but not in like a not in a in a disc.
- 16:10You're definitely, you're definitely that shit.
- 16:11Should not have been on there. Wait, let's pull it up. 1 The
- 16:15sugar. Every year my sugar is my number
- 16:17one. That doesn't matter #2 Opeth
- 16:20again. I pretty much listen to Opeth
- 16:23all the time. OK, three psycho frame 4
- 16:27Tesseract, which is insane to me.
- 16:28I do like the man tesseract, but do I like them that much?
- 16:32Apparently so Five Plenty Plenty is my decorating music and I've
- 16:37moved house during this so it makes sense.
- 16:40I've listened to a lot of plenty but top songs.
- 16:43So This is why I'm saying I think my my figures are skewed.
- 16:47The plot to Nuke the Midwest. My number one played song of the
- 16:52year, but that wasn't on this record.
- 16:56No. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
- 16:58Doesn't make sense, so. The album's on there, but that
- 17:00song is top song, yes. But you know the album.
- 17:03So the album came out in July. Numbers aren't real.
- 17:07So do you have you know, if if you were loving it in January?
- 17:12I do. Think that there's like some
- 17:15kind of data skewing because when I was seeing my I use Apple
- 17:19instead of Spotify but. Pull up your Apple Rewind.
- 17:21So top artists for 2025, We have Hayley Williams, number one.
- 17:26Number one, you have no idea. I I was in an unhealthy deep
- 17:33dive of her and Taylor's relationship on the flight to
- 17:36Europe for this past two works. That's when she was still
- 17:40dropping the last like 2 songs. Yeah, on the record.
- 17:43So you've got a parasocial thing going on with Hayley Williams
- 17:47for like. 8 hours. Yeah, I did.
- 17:50And. Then and then I was like, OK,
- 17:53I'm, I'm, I'm out of this now. But you listen to it enough.
- 17:56I listen to it to be #1. Enough for sure.
- 17:59I love that record, it's so good.
- 18:01When did you? Call us on our on our last full
- 18:03US. And it's the only thing I played
- 18:04in the van. Yeah, yeah.
- 18:06Yeah, damn, you put a shift in there because they stop in like
- 18:09October, Yeah. I I really like that record.
- 18:14Kendrick Lamar. Not really sure how he ended up
- 18:17here. Not that I dislike him.
- 18:18Straight bangers though, really. Lot lot of good songs.
- 18:20You could do. I mean, the data doesn't lie.
- 18:22You don't dislike him? Yeah, In fact, you love him.
- 18:25Yeah, Jason isbell #3 that makes total sense.
- 18:30He's like a Americana country artist.
- 18:33OK, was that a gun? He's an Americana.
- 18:36I actually. Don't know what this was.
- 18:38He's like a country you. Know you know.
- 18:40I don't know what that was. Simon cut that.
- 18:44Don't have to cut that, Simon. No, Simon stays in.
- 18:47I have Bring Me the Horizon at #4 not sure why I like the band
- 18:51but they ended up there and then.
- 18:54Love them. My number 5 is Psycho Frame.
- 18:57You know A5 psycho frame is that learning song.
- 18:59Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Those don't count.
- 19:01Yeah, those, because that's my #2 but that doesn't count
- 19:03because it's me prepping for tour.
- 19:05And. Then you prep with sorry, this
- 19:07is give me a number six and then I'm gonna.
- 19:09Church doing my other band. Is up, yeah, you've you've
- 19:12you've given that a disclaimer though, but you prep with the
- 19:15versions of the songs with you on already.
- 19:19Yeah, see, I used to do that for Drew.
- 19:24OK, so sorry. So Drew would learn the songs
- 19:28through the tracks that we'd already recorded, but there's
- 19:32still be some bits that he didn't sort of that didn't
- 19:35cement properly. So I revoked that right from
- 19:38him. And then I gave him the tracks
- 19:40without him, so I'll learn with that.
- 19:42And then he fucking smashed it. So I find it interesting that
- 19:47you can learn from just hearing yourself.
- 19:50Oh yeah, that goes in plasticity of the brain that stays in it.
- 19:54See, for me, I could never play along with someone that already
- 19:57has drums. I.
- 19:58Learned how to drum, I get that. You play drums as well.
- 20:00That's my first instrument when I was 12, I.
- 20:02Fucking hate people like you. He.
- 20:05Can't. He can straight up do like.
- 20:08He's one of those like. Pretty competently, if not super
- 20:11good. No, I can play drums and talk.
- 20:14That's it. What more do you need?
- 20:15I can make AT shirt as well. Go on.
- 20:16What's your what's your list? Spotify or Apple?
- 20:19Apple love love music quality or sound quality #1 Hayley Williams
- 20:25Of course, that record number 2, the heaviest, doesn't count.
- 20:30Right now, by the way, no, it's good.
- 20:34Number 30. Number 2 was Psycho Frame
- 20:37because I got to learn the song Expert Tour 3 is Men I trust.
- 20:40That tracks. Who's that?
- 20:43Have you ever been to a coffee shop?
- 20:44Couple of times, yeah, You probably heard them, OK.
- 20:46They're awesome. They're like bedroom indie pop.
- 20:49They're from eastern Canada. OK, men I trust.
- 20:53Maddie in love, yeah. Men I trust or 4's final resting
- 20:57place. I really like that.
- 20:59All their stuff, but I just kind of like let it play.
- 21:02I was listening to it a lot while playing Oblivion.
- 21:06The remake. The remake I was I.
- 21:07Don't know why I just. Listened to the the remake, the.
- 21:10OK, so I was for they shadow dropped that and for no reason
- 21:14prior to I was just playing the original and I got halfway
- 21:17through and then they were like here's a new one.
- 21:19So I was like, OK, I guess I'll start again.
- 21:21Started again with slightly better graphics.
- 21:23Right. So I was doing that and then.
- 21:25Different build, no OK. Asking the real question too.
- 21:29Same build? Did you build exactly the same
- 21:31character? No, I made it look like a freak
- 21:33in the new one because you can really go crazy with their
- 21:35creator. Before you go on like.
- 21:37Build was still just like, yeah, talk to me about two build, two
- 21:40hand big sword. Yeah, going swinging.
- 21:42I just wanted to get through it fast and like that's the best
- 21:45way to get through it fast. Did you finish it?
- 21:47No, I never finished Oblivion. I never.
- 21:50Skyrim is my my one that I never got past that first cutscene.
- 21:55Skyrim for real? When you're on the back of that
- 21:56thing, never. It was out of time.
- 21:59So Oblivion I played to death, but I never finished it.
- 22:02And then Skyrim came out at a time when I was like out of
- 22:05playing games for a while, but I was like, OK, I've got to play
- 22:08this though. And for some reason being on the
- 22:11back of that cart just pissed me off so much every time I just
- 22:15wanted to skip it. I think maybe once I got that
- 22:18game. New did that intro and went I'm
- 22:20not playing this. In 2000.
- 22:22That's crazy. Yeah, perspective.
- 22:24The cat's name is Kajeet. That's literally her name.
- 22:28Cute because I love Skyrim. I do, I didn't get part if it
- 22:32was up to me. She'd be cool.
- 22:34I mean, there's Kajeet Kart in Oblivion.
- 22:35Yeah. They got them.
- 22:36You're tapping. Yeah, I'm fine, I'm good, I'm
- 22:38good. I got #6. 5 is 100th dropped the
- 22:42new record this year and I really like their new sound.
- 22:45Nice. And all.
- 22:46And then number six is Pearl blade.
- 22:50What's Pearl blade? You know when you hear like a
- 22:52song and then someone's like, OK, check out the nightcore
- 22:55version. Pretty much.
- 22:57It's it's like this, but like it doesn't suck.
- 23:00OK. It literally just takes like
- 23:05songs that shouldn't have EDM to it and puts EDM to.
- 23:08Them. OK, so you know, you said if
- 23:11you've ever been to a coffee shop, yeah, that's like you
- 23:13should have just said if you've ever been to a gym.
- 23:16And I would say too true. I would have also said yeah.
- 23:19Because blown out crazy as fuck. I didn't know if the mic was
- 23:22blowing that. No, that's the mix.
- 23:23He just kind of called I think. I think, I don't know if it's
- 23:26intentional. I want to believe it's just a
- 23:27guy that has no clue what he's doing.
- 23:29He's just like, yeah. Fire's clipping.
- 23:32That's kind of I can say. Do you make lo fi music?
- 23:36Make lots of music. How do you how did you get into
- 23:38that? I don't like to stick to one
- 23:40thing. I mean, you look my top five.
- 23:43There's 001. Have you been?
- 23:44Have you? So is it Devil kid?
- 23:47Devil girl? Devil Girl.
- 23:48Yeah, so I've been doing that forever, just like learning,
- 23:52teaching myself, just like recording and writing and blah,
- 23:55blah, blah. I was learning Daws and all that
- 23:57stuff. And then I've always liked
- 24:00break, core, lofi, whatever it is, just like anything.
- 24:02I mean drums, yeah, yeah, I like drums.
- 24:04So I'm almost like, yeah, So I was like, I want to do that and
- 24:09just kind of like learned how to taught myself how to do that.
- 24:12And I would put it into other songs for heavy bands that I
- 24:15had, like hardcore bands. I have a band called World of
- 24:17Pleasure and just like a lot of it, a lot of the appeal is I
- 24:23think aesthetically and then also sound wise it'll like very
- 24:26contrasting, like a song will end and there's like a 10 second
- 24:29snippet of like a brake core thing, lofi or whatever it is.
- 24:32And you are you programming that that brake core?
- 24:34That's all me, yeah. No for no, or you're sampling
- 24:37it. Depends.
- 24:38I'll sample. I'll sample like symbol, yeah.
- 24:41And then like input. Because I listen to it and some
- 24:43of the brake core is like crazy. Yeah, it's all that's all
- 24:46chopped and automated and done everything and like I'm using
- 24:48like 5 different snares and all this stuff.
- 24:50Ableton. I use for that devil girl stuff.
- 24:54I did Reaper. Wow, yeah, fucking just old
- 24:57school. OS that's what I learned on, but
- 24:59this year I switched to Logic. And I love it.
- 25:01How to use Ableton? No.
- 25:03OK, OK. I don't.
- 25:04I wouldn't say I know how to use what I'm using, but I just do
- 25:07stuff and it makes a sound and I go, yeah.
- 25:10I like that that's when it comes out and it's good You so you
- 25:13touch. I mean, obviously with a podcast
- 25:15where I've got my way, I want things to go, but then you're
- 25:18touching on stuff that I want to talk about later on.
- 25:20But we might as well go straight into it, go crazy.
- 25:23You mentioned aesthetics there. Now one of my favorite things
- 25:27with psychoframe is the aesthetic and the way that
- 25:32everything seems pre planned. I hope given that your some of
- 25:37your answers so far, just I'll just do shit.
- 25:39But like the aesthetics, all the artwork, the logo, every little
- 25:45clip that's on Instagram, all the videos, there's like a crazy
- 25:49aesthetic behind it. Even the sound design suits.
- 25:52Who's behind that? So.
- 25:54That is a pretty collective effort.
- 25:57But really, I mean, we just when you start back from the first
- 26:00EP, we were like, yeah, we're kind of going for this thing.
- 26:03The first song that we dropped had the Manhunt clip and we were
- 26:09just like, OK, we'll kind of stay in this like horror video
- 26:13game, like kind of inspired shit.
- 26:14We just wanted to feel like a little fucking like, gross.
- 26:17I don't know if you've ever played.
- 26:18Manhunt Manhunt was a fucking amazing game.
- 26:20Playing a snuff. Yeah.
- 26:22It's so we I. Think it got banned in the UK.
- 26:26It did. It did.
- 26:27I went down the ramp. Never stood a chance in
- 26:29Australia. I think I had a cracked version
- 26:31of it. There's still version I I even
- 26:34in the UK 22. Is banned in.
- 26:36There is like an edited. Version. 22 is more rough.
- 26:42It's like early 2000s, wasn't it?
- 26:44I want to say like 06. I got Manhunt 2 on Wii when I
- 26:48was a kid. Nice.
- 26:49I was literally like using the. Everyone on the.
- 26:53Weed nunchucks or whatever they're called to like, put a
- 26:56bag over someone's head. Wait, you could do that?
- 26:58Yeah, that was crazy. That's so cool.
- 26:59So awesome. Yeah.
- 27:01Why is this on here? That's.
- 27:03Fucking amazing. That's badass.
- 27:05So we like start there and then even when it came down to the
- 27:09artwork for that, we used this artist's name is Slap Jockey.
- 27:14His real name is Dusty, but we just stayed with him
- 27:19consistently. You know, we really only had
- 27:22three proper releases, 2 EPS and an album.
- 27:25We did like a double single first thing this year.
- 27:28But that's really just, I don't know, just.
- 27:30To put something out. He also did the art for that.
- 27:32Yeah, he did the art for that too.
- 27:34We stayed consistent visually in with him when it comes to album
- 27:39artwork. But then like even like sound
- 27:43design and stuff like yeah, it's it's consistent.
- 27:46We. Flowers go to Hunter.
- 27:48Yeah, I mean, Hunter is Brandon makes everything.
- 27:51Genius. Hunter, yeah.
- 27:52He's. I'm the.
- 27:53Brain. He's the brain.
- 27:55Yes or no right to some shit, you know.
- 27:57So he will bring an idea to the table that's a yes or a no.
- 28:01Yeah, he's, he deserves all the flowers.
- 28:03He's like the brain behind everything, truly.
- 28:06We bring ideas and he says no, That gets it, gets the bad ones
- 28:10out. Yeah, you need that though.
- 28:13You need one head. You need a visionary.
- 28:15Yeah, yeah, Head. Chef, you can't have three head
- 28:17chefs for the whole band. Can't.
- 28:19But bringing in sous chefs by often like World of Pleasure,
- 28:23again, like that Y2K aesthetic, sure, you got that on fucking
- 28:28log. And I feel like that, although
- 28:31not stylistically looks wise, does it match psycho frame?
- 28:37But like feel wise, it does, you know what I mean?
- 28:40The what the the world of pleasure, like the artwork and
- 28:44stuff like that. So like, I feel like moving
- 28:46forward, I can't wait to see where that goes with like
- 28:49little, little nudges to your Y2K stuff we've gotten.
- 28:53One design very recently, the green shirt that was, that was
- 28:56the first time you got to take the reins a little bit, right?
- 29:01What's the green shirt? He has no idea.
- 29:02What I'm telling you bro. I don't know.
- 29:04I thought that was your boy who that made the green shirt.
- 29:08Probably. Explain the green shirt.
- 29:09Oh yes, people need to shout out my shirt.
- 29:11Shout out my boy Brandon Fung. OK, what's the?
- 29:13Hungry hardcore. I can put the green shirt up
- 29:16here for everyone. You sell more of it.
- 29:18What's the green shirt? One it's got it's just got like
- 29:21a 3D render of just like the logo on the back and some like,
- 29:25you know, the white 2K looking stuff and you just like use the
- 29:29color and everything. But yeah, that's my boy Brandon
- 29:32from that's from Calgary Hardcore.
- 29:34And it took a little bit longer than I think I would have wanted
- 29:37for us to actually start implementing some of that.
- 29:41So none of us have ever, like, fully dove into being a
- 29:44deathcore band before. And then we decided to do it for
- 29:48us in our 30s, which is bizarre. I don't know.
- 29:52I don't know how that. Got here bro.
- 29:53I feel like that's what I'm going to do next though.
- 29:55It ain't bad. I thought I was a deathcore kid
- 29:57in 06 playing Manhunt. I was a deathcore kid.
- 30:00You were there and now I'm like, I might be coming back.
- 30:03I need to get faster though. That's the thing.
- 30:05You got fucking Leo. Yeah.
- 30:07Well. He's young.
- 30:09I thought, I thought it, there was no way that it could be
- 30:12real. The first time I heard it, the
- 30:14first time I heard sycophane, I was like, there's no fucking
- 30:16he's. Only gotten better.
- 30:18He gets better every single he's a.
- 30:19Freak. He's a freak, like his kicks,
- 30:22because he's obviously doing the double s.
- 30:24The. Double s, yeah.
- 30:24But they're like genuinely, he hits them so hard and does them
- 30:27so consistently. Doesn't need triggers, nothing
- 30:31like Mike and it's like solid. Like we're using on the trigger.
- 30:34But he doesn't need it straight up.
- 30:36We've been in, we've, we're all sitting in practice.
- 30:39We've had them turned off and just running it before or we
- 30:42pulled up in like some practice space that just cannot
- 30:46facilitate and like get it running through something.
- 30:48So we just go. He's cracked.
- 30:50We're doing. Did you have one?
- 30:51He told me to speak to you. You are Leaf Green operative?
- 30:55Yeah. There you go.
- 30:56What is that? What is that?
- 30:59Just know that's what you are. Yeah, I so we're both like sharp
- 31:02tone posted a thing today and it was like.
- 31:04The nocturnal. Word thing, we had two drummers,
- 31:06Yeah. And he wrote vote for leaf Green
- 31:10operative. And then you've told me that.
- 31:13So I'm I'm guessing he said vote for me.
- 31:15But what does that mean? Dude, I don't ask.
- 31:17The last thing you got to do is ask you just accept it as what
- 31:20it is. Brains to be that good at the
- 31:22drama at. A certain point you you can like
- 31:24recognise what he's trying to say to you.
- 31:27There is a code but. It.
- 31:29Is like, you should have brought him.
- 31:31It sounds like an animal, Yeah. Well, I think you should you
- 31:34should do some with him another time.
- 31:36Maybe you too. Let me meet him tonight, of
- 31:39course, get a glimpse. Get a glimpse of him tonight.
- 31:41He would love to see where that goes.
- 31:42He's awesome, he's lovely. Cool, he'll be around.
- 31:45We don't just like, keep him in a.
- 31:49I mean, it's not. A time to play DRY and.
- 31:50He comes out and he just says like certain words, NBA, like
- 31:53whatever was on his story today, he's.
- 31:56Got the collar on. Mike, we know each other.
- 31:59We do. From.
- 32:01Together. 20/22/2022 Yeah, First tore back after coke, almost
- 32:06Second tore back after COVID. We stray took Vatican out
- 32:09because we were. I mean, I was an incredibly big
- 32:13Vatican fan and you broke up on the tour.
- 32:17Right after we had a great time. We had a great time.
- 32:20That tour was awesome. I don't it looks like it might
- 32:23be sarcastic. I had a terrible.
- 32:25No, I don't if you remember. I don't think there's anyone
- 32:28separately or as a unit that would ever say anything bad
- 32:33about that tour. That tour was so awesome.
- 32:35Tour was so fucking fun. Yeah, we broke up shortly after
- 32:40not related to the tour because we came home and we were like,
- 32:43that was incredible, great experience, did better as an
- 32:46opening band than anyone ever projected that we could have.
- 32:50And you know, we're we're on the tour in the moment and I
- 32:53remember I think we were in, we were somewhere in the UK.
- 32:56It was whatever our first UK show of the tour was.
- 32:59I. Don't remember the.
- 33:02Main thing that I want to say Bristol.
- 33:05Yeah, it makes sense. Yeah, Yeah.
- 33:07It's like not that far from London.
- 33:08No, it's not. OK.
- 33:09So I think it was, I think it was Bristol.
- 33:11I remember talking to Tom, Mr. Williams, and he, you know, was
- 33:16just kind of like checking in, doing the we brought you out,
- 33:19check in. As he does.
- 33:20He's such a just a dad. Yeah.
- 33:23And so he was just like, you guys are doing good.
- 33:25You guys are fine. Like, you guys feel good.
- 33:27You're selling stuff, you know, And I'm just like, yes, yes,
- 33:30yes, yes. And when I kind of give him my
- 33:35scorecard up to this point, he says, you guys are crushing.
- 33:40You're doing way better than most people ever do.
- 33:42For your first time over, you should feel encouraged and
- 33:45proud. And I said we do.
- 33:49Has nothing to do with the tour. And then you broke up, so it was
- 33:52just. History will say I was somewhere
- 33:55in the mix for reasons why this band broke up.
- 33:59But I mean, as it stands today, like, I love all those guys.
- 34:03I know nothing. I'm getting a politician.
- 34:04Answer here I'm. Getting I'm getting a
- 34:06politician. Maybe you don't.
- 34:09Want to talk? About it.
- 34:11Not in depth. OK.
- 34:12Not in depth is. Everyone good though everything.
- 34:14'S fine. I would never say that.
- 34:17Like a revisit to that band is completely off the table for me
- 34:21by any means. I loved that band.
- 34:24I loved the the record and the EP that I did with them.
- 34:29And I love those guys. You know, we just toured with
- 34:31Mackie. Yeah.
- 34:32I'll die for him. I'll die for him right now.
- 34:34Mackie's the fucking best, you know, like.
- 34:36He'll form I, I do. Legitimately love those guys and
- 34:39and honestly, everyone's doing like really awesome shit like
- 34:42since then, yeah, we you got. Flesh, water, just dying wish.
- 34:49Psycho. Frame it's almost like Vatican
- 34:51was like like a martyred band just like we we need we need
- 34:56Vatican to split up so all these bands can can go off and do
- 34:59their thing and then I. Start.
- 35:03Psycho Frame. With Hunter and John Whittle who
- 35:06was the vocalist of Vatican before me, the OS Goat, the OG.
- 35:10One. Yeah, Fuck.
- 35:12Yeah, so. In in a way, like historically
- 35:15you can't look at it like that. I mean, realistically, we didn't
- 35:19plan on Psycho Frame, but I never planned on being right
- 35:22here because of Psycho Frame talking to you about this band
- 35:26like. I.
- 35:27Planned on, I don't know, releasing music with them every
- 35:32so often? Here's this hilarious Death core
- 35:34band. Maybe not hilarious, that sounds
- 35:36downplaying of what we do. But like, listen, I'm a top
- 35:39three fan. I think I was in the 1% by the
- 35:42way. It is hilarious.
- 35:44It is hilarious. It is.
- 35:45Hilarious. It is hilarious.
- 35:46But that's what makes it so. Fucking good the songs he writes
- 35:49are. Genuine comedy.
- 35:50If you read the lyrics, people are going to be like, what?
- 35:51What is this? I mean, we might.
- 35:53We might as well. Take.
- 35:55Take a cut straight there to the lyrics.
- 35:57Then because I I got, I got questions.
- 35:59I'll ask. I have answers.
- 36:01So. Here's.
- 36:03The thing here we go, why are we talking about lyrics?
- 36:07I'm going to read some examples and then I have.
- 36:11One question it's. All going to be no, no.
- 36:13It doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
- 36:15Black Wave 2. Oh yeah, guns aimed at heaven
- 36:19until the work is done. We have your son and he's
- 36:21running out of luck. I don't know if we can legally
- 36:24disclose. What that's about?
- 36:25Okay, no, we can talk about this.
- 36:28Who? OK, whose is it?
- 36:29It's. Him.
- 36:30Yeah, OK. The song has any.
- 36:32Semblance of being. Serious.
- 36:33It's me. Oh, OK, Yeah, there is.
- 36:36If you're going, what did he just say?
- 36:37It's. My there is literally just.
- 36:40Two types of lyrics here. Yeah, yes.
- 36:42And that's, that's nailed it right on the head.
- 36:44We have silly anger and serious anger, Right.
- 36:50So I did write that. Song about a person a famous a
- 36:55famous person famous. Person.
- 36:58Who was present in American politics until the later half of
- 37:04this year makes trucks that look like.
- 37:07Bad renders on APS 20. I know the guy that's an.
- 37:11E He's an Elon Musk song. I noticed that A.
- 37:14Certain someone. Started bringing their son
- 37:17around publicly with them after a certain CEO was killed.
- 37:21Yeah, and everyone. Is still.
- 37:23Watching how that trial goes down is going down Today I
- 37:27noticed a meat shield showed up. Yeah.
- 37:29Oh 100% the meat. Shield showed up, so that's what
- 37:32that's so, you wrote. A slunk that's.
- 37:34The line. Wait, so the is the?
- 37:37Out of nowhere, it goes Liam Neeson.
- 37:39Like nowhere at any point is a son mentioned and when we were
- 37:44so OK, if you listen really close actually in the song this
- 37:47is this is in the track after the line where we say we have
- 37:53your son and he's running out of luck.
- 37:57Guns listen. Closely there is a.
- 38:01Laugh track. We're all laughing in the back.
- 38:04You can. Hear it because I just all all
- 38:06of you laughed. I was doing a.
- 38:07Take and because. We're doing a scratch of it, me
- 38:09going and we're all just like, what are we doing?
- 38:13Everyone's laughing in the studio.
- 38:15You can hear it in the background because when we're,
- 38:17when we're in the. Studio and we're just like so
- 38:19this is how the song is going to go have one of these bad boys
- 38:22and it plays and you're just sitting here you just talk yeah
- 38:26the head you just. Lay it down.
- 38:28And you're like, here's the scratch.
- 38:29This is an idea of how of how she'll go down.
- 38:34So I'm just sitting there spitting these out as they come
- 38:37kind of thing that is. And in that moment where I say
- 38:40we have your son and he's running out of luck guns, that's
- 38:45the. Cut and every.
- 38:46Everyone starts laughing and then I have to go back in and
- 38:49finish it because everyone started laughing.
- 38:51So you kept it in. It's in the laughs.
- 38:53Are there a sweet? Little fucking Easter egg it.
- 38:56It follows the pattern a little. Bit too 'cause I'm pretty.
- 38:58Sure. It's like gun, gun, gun, gun,
- 39:00like it follows the chug a little bit.
- 39:03The loss. Yeah, listen.
- 39:05Can't wait to go and listen to that is it?
- 39:07On the tracks that you're playing it tonight, of course
- 39:09you're not playing it. No, we're not playing it
- 39:11tonight. Wasn't that single?
- 39:12We had. Yeah, we had.
- 39:13To retire it. It's too many blast beats.
- 39:15Too many kids don't know what to do for blast beat parts.
- 39:18They want to. They want to kick.
- 39:19Yeah, I want to try the song. In Europe.
- 39:22I have. I think you should have a feel.
- 39:24I have a feeling that it's also not.
- 39:26Enjoyable. For Leo to play that song, he
- 39:28signed up right? You get, I'm saying you get the
- 39:31freak that can do the freak shit.
- 39:33He signed up. You have to, you have to.
- 39:35I just scream here, but I'm saying this one's.
- 39:37From the song filleted and. Fucked how did Nana?
- 39:41Like fillet and. Fucked.
- 39:43I didn't believe that one, didn't play that one.
- 39:45That one came from the. Mind of Hunter.
- 39:46Yeah, that's a hunter one. Yeah, he.
- 39:49He's a great. Lyric.
- 39:49Yeah, he you want. Me to tell you the lyric first,
- 39:52or you want to tell me what? You're going to love to hear the
- 39:53lyric. I know it's about calm.
- 39:54Certainly is fourth word in. Yeah, you slurp the calm of the
- 39:58mindless. Yeah, masturbating to a fucking
- 40:01prophet, a steel vice shoved through your sinus.
- 40:05It's too late now, and the pain is promised.
- 40:07That's just speaking on. Internet dwellers that.
- 40:12Make their personality. And.
- 40:14Idolization politicians that have no interest in them.
- 40:17It's so interesting that it. Is, I mean, there's a lot of
- 40:20values on the on the record, yeah.
- 40:22But you know what? I read.
- 40:23It as I read it as actual gods, but it's you're using it.
- 40:28People are politicians. A lot of we've noticed, a lot of
- 40:31people. View politicians as gods.
- 40:34As gods, yeah. Oh, based.
- 40:36Psycho frame. Nice.
- 40:38OK, they're not just hilarious. They.
- 40:41Aren't and I would. I just thought they were
- 40:43hilarious. I just thought they were funny,
- 40:45which I will take. Oh, that.
- 40:47If that's all. Anyone that's the best?
- 40:49That's the best. The best.
- 40:50Kind of like political comedy. Leo would call it like that.
- 40:53Lore. Lore.
- 40:54Exactly. One of his more normal.
- 40:56Words. OK, so that one is also about
- 40:59politicians. It's fantastic.
- 41:01Yeah, you picked the two that are.
- 41:02I mean and. That's a Hunter driven.
- 41:04Yeah, Hunter wrote that song. OK.
- 41:05So is is this. One about the same sort of thing
- 41:09from God is busy. That was me.
- 41:12God is busy, distorted. Killings.
- 41:13Incarnations of gore. Your deity is a fucking whore.
- 41:18Yeah, it's one of. My favorite parts of the
- 41:19records. Great.
- 41:20Great part. Great line.
- 41:23What's going through your head? I just wrote that song about a
- 41:25movie. What?
- 41:26Movie The Iceman. Never seen it.
- 41:28It's the clip. Where he says.
- 41:31There's a. Sample in it and then the.
- 41:32Clip is like, are you praying? It's I can't remember his name.
- 41:37I don't know. It's about, it's about a real
- 41:41infamous hit hit man. And it's just a scene from that
- 41:46where he's going to kill some of those guys.
- 41:47Starts praying. He's like, oh, he's like, oh,
- 41:49I'll let you pray. Like, yeah, finished praying.
- 41:51Like, yeah, we'll see if he comes and stops me from doing
- 41:53what I'm doing. Then he sits there for a while
- 41:55and he goes, looks like he's busy.
- 41:57Are you? An atheist, I would say I'm.
- 42:02Agnostic. I was raised Catholic, went to
- 42:04Catholic my whole life, and then I did the thing.
- 42:07That's what I'm getting at. Yeah.
- 42:09So I. I was raised.
- 42:10Catholic. Well Catholic.
- 42:12My grandma converted when she moved from Ireland to Canada to
- 42:16just Christian. But I went to Catholic school my
- 42:19whole life, Sunday school, you name it, I did it all.
- 42:22I did the thing where like after high school, I mean anti.
- 42:26You know what I mean? I'm like all about it.
- 42:27But now I'm at a point in my life where I'm just like, I
- 42:30don't know anything. I'm pretty, I don't know.
- 42:32So maybe I I believe more in atheism than religion per SE,
- 42:37but like, Catholic Church got it going on.
- 42:39Yeah, they got some cool shit. Shit looks cool.
- 42:42They done so. Fucked up, definitely.
- 42:43Looks cool but they definitely. Done some fucking yeah I'm not I
- 42:46didn't. I'm not like backing them, but
- 42:47from reading some. Lyrics it would.
- 42:49Seem the opposite, like you've got a horrible relationship with
- 42:53a Catholic God. But now I'm seeing that maybe
- 42:55some of that is I'm reading it as God, but it's actually
- 42:59politicians. Some of it, yeah.
- 43:00You haven't got any. Beef with the.
- 43:02Catholic Church I mean, not any. More than anyone else with a
- 43:06brain would. Interesting.
- 43:07Yeah. And.
- 43:08It's more of just like a. Nostalgic thing or just like,
- 43:11it's how I was raised. So like, being around a church
- 43:13reminds me of my grandma. She's important to me.
- 43:15Oh, so it's nice. Yeah.
- 43:17Damn. But.
- 43:18Like nothing happened. To me in.
- 43:19Catholic school and church and shit like that.
- 43:21I just like, I'm also like, have a brain.
- 43:24And just like perceive. The world for a while and like
- 43:27OK, they've done atrocious things yeah absolutely reshaped
- 43:30the planet to be the the climate's in so no, I'm not like
- 43:34I'm a practicing Catholic, but I feel like I'm the same way I'm a
- 43:37bit like. I could see that organized
- 43:39religion is wrong and a money grab, right?
- 43:43Yeah. I think spiritually I'm like, I
- 43:46kind of feel like there's something sure, at least a few
- 43:48things I don't know. So I would not.
- 43:51I would. Never expel that from, you know.
- 43:54I've never been dead, so I don't.
- 43:55Know what's after Mike? Never been dead.
- 43:58Swear to God I haven't. You haven't found out.
- 44:00Now, logically, I would assume you like.
- 44:02God, I also super do not. Rock.
- 44:05With organized religion. I'm I broke Christian?
- 44:11For sure. What do you mean?
- 44:13Like what? Do people break edge?
- 44:15Oh. Right, OK.
- 44:16I said you were a. Christian, I've Yeah.
- 44:17I've broke Christian. I breaking Christian.
- 44:21It's really fucking I, I think. Now that I'm a little bit older,
- 44:25I think actually I find myself like ideologically leaning more
- 44:30so like I say, among us all the time, I'm a Christian.
- 44:34I'm half joking. I won't.
- 44:37I'm not. I refuse to kind of like hop in
- 44:40on the organized religion bit but.
- 44:44I do. Rock with quite a few things.
- 44:47But I also fundamentally disagree with some ideas about
- 44:51some things in Christianity and things that are popularized by
- 44:56more so like a mass of people than like even what is in text.
- 45:00I don't. I don't believe in Christian
- 45:02hell. Hell is not an actual place
- 45:06that's like referenced in the Bible.
- 45:08It's not a destination or a fate.
- 45:10The idea of hell in the Bible realistically is a full
- 45:15detachment from the presence of God and it's just oblivion.
- 45:20It's nothing. It's what you Elder Scrolls
- 45:21mentioned. It's what Elder Scrolls back
- 45:24that goes back. But like.
- 45:26It's it's just kind of like. That is like, realistically what
- 45:29you perceived before we were all conscious, right?
- 45:35Primordial soup Little. Little bit of a rabbit hole I
- 45:37just went. Down.
- 45:38But I would I would, I would say that idealistically, like I do
- 45:43kind of fall in with that a little bit.
- 45:46That being said, I write these fucking hilarious ass lyrics for
- 45:49this band. So like I could come off as like
- 45:51a terrible Christian to a lot of people, but I think even then
- 45:56I'm like loosely identifying. So but if hell, if hell doesn't
- 46:00exist, does heaven? Exist.
- 46:02That's the idea. It's.
- 46:03Either you make it and even then like I don't even think I
- 46:10picture. Have you seen this as the end?
- 46:12Yes. I I don't think *NSYNC is there
- 46:15OK and and and like doing. I don't picture it being.
- 46:18I do think that, yeah. I and that's why we need 2.
- 46:20Singers for. Me.
- 46:22That would be good. For me that.
- 46:24Would be good, but. Great quote.
- 46:26I I don't think. It's necessarily.
- 46:28As. Much like that, I think it's, I
- 46:31don't know, like I feel like it'd be just like more ethereal,
- 46:34less going on than what that portrayal could possibly be
- 46:37putting on, which is a lot yeah. There's a lot in that last like
- 46:415 minutes of movie. This is just really interesting
- 46:44to me because. I was referencing.
- 46:45This is the end for his. Religious stance.
- 46:47That's right. Crazy, right?
- 46:49But. I really like I.
- 46:50Reading the lyrics I really thought there was some anti
- 46:53Christian stuff going on. So maybe you are.
- 46:56It is like for sure, there's always that part.
- 46:58Of it, there's a lot of parts of those things where I'm like,
- 47:01yeah, I'm anti that. I'm anti Catholicism in a
- 47:03million ways. Like I I recognize that I'm
- 47:06sitting here. Talking there goes hard.
- 47:08They are guys. Go.
- 47:10Shit. And he, he's like on.
- 47:10My viewpoint. I guarantee you there's.
- 47:13Someone watching this and he's like listen to this fucking
- 47:15Jackass like he sounds like an idiot or whatever.
- 47:18But I'm also not elaborating as much as I possibly could because
- 47:24who really gives a shit what I think anyways?
- 47:26I give so much of A shit. I'm a fan guys.
- 47:29I know I'm I'm sat down. With singers, what is your take?
- 47:32My take on what? All right.
- 47:33Your religious. Stance I don't believe in a a
- 47:36Christian. God, I see the, I see the
- 47:39symbols. I I don't.
- 47:42But I do believe in you. Know.
- 47:48You. Yeah.
- 47:49Seeing this on me. I don't believe in your world,
- 47:52teacher guy. What's a world teacher?
- 47:54The. Idea that like every religion.
- 47:56Has a world teacher. So like Christianity has Jesus,
- 48:00then you have like what? You have Buddha, Allah, you, you
- 48:03start going down the list and it's just realistically that
- 48:05they're, they're all aligned all the same.
- 48:07They all have a world teacher. They're.
- 48:09Yeah, not really. I think, I think there is.
- 48:13Wow, maybe I'm not agnostic. I think there is a.
- 48:21I think. There's something more, and I
- 48:22don't know what the fuck it is. We went down a rabbit hole with
- 48:25this before on the podcast because I sort of got into
- 48:27simulation theory. And then it was a bit like, are
- 48:30you just going schizophrenic? Low key?
- 48:32Yeah. This might be some, yeah.
- 48:34I'm not convinced it's not. Do we all just break out of
- 48:36reality? Right now, yeah.
- 48:37And yeah. And just.
- 48:38Yeah, just. Falls back but.
- 48:40I do. I do.
- 48:41Believe in some things which you would have to believe in a
- 48:45Christian God for. Like, like magic.
- 48:48Like I fully believe in the power of.
- 48:54The mind. To.
- 48:56Create. I do too.
- 48:58Like for your dreams and stuff like that.
- 49:01I do believe there is something in the ether that you channel
- 49:05that can. Make things.
- 49:06Happen for you like which falls in manifesting, which falls into
- 49:10black magic. But I think all of these
- 49:13different types of, you know, Christianity, demonology, all of
- 49:18this stuff, I do believe it. Everyone's just found a
- 49:21different way to harness whatever is out there.
- 49:25But no one actually. Knows what it is, so they.
- 49:27Make up these stories to explain what it is and how it happened,
- 49:32but everyone and everyone's on the right page but completely
- 49:36wrong, if you know what I mean. Sure, I I like the idea that
- 49:38everyone can. Believe in whatever they want as
- 49:40long as it's not infringing on other human beings ability to be
- 49:44humans and do what they want. You know what I mean?
- 49:46Yeah. So if you know, believing in
- 49:49Christianity or demonology or whatever it is makes you live
- 49:53better as yourself, and if you're not out preaching and
- 49:56infringing on other human beings in their own ball, I don't care.
- 50:00Yeah, as long as you're not like.
- 50:01Make yourself happy about it, but.
- 50:03Worrying about everyone else. So many.
- 50:04Are though. That's the problem.
- 50:06That is the problem which honestly I.
- 50:07Mean that's half of. What the band talks about
- 50:10lyrically too. You were talking about the plot
- 50:12to nuke the Midwest earlier. Everyone else shut the fuck up.
- 50:15What's? That about it's not one of my
- 50:17questions. Opening line is everyone.
- 50:19Everybody's got something to fucking say.
- 50:22Yeah, fuck what you think that's those are the first opening
- 50:25lines. Last line is kill yourself.
- 50:27So it's fucking one of the most that's a.
- 50:30That's a bookend. You know, it's fucking
- 50:32fantastic. I got 11.
- 50:34More lyric. I want to go in Minecraft.
- 50:36In Minecraft. In Minecraft.
- 50:38OK this. Is the best.
- 50:39Lyric I've ever heard. This is the best.
- 50:42This is the best lyric. And you know what?
- 50:44You know? You know what's coming.
- 50:46Just him. I can get it all.
- 50:47Here we go. This is the.
- 50:49Best lyric I've ever heard. OK.
- 50:50I need to know who who did it. Blueprints for Idol?
- 50:52Yeah, it's Mike. Looks.
- 50:54Like you're up shit's Creek. You.
- 50:56Where's my hug looking motherfucker?
- 50:59Yeah, that's me. Yeah.
- 51:01That's. Me.
- 51:02You know the worst part? Is to.
- 51:03We're in the. Studio and I'm going.
- 51:06Why do I? Why am I trying?
- 51:08This guy showed up with a comedy routine and I'm like writing
- 51:11shit like the other songs where it's like, OK, I'm there some
- 51:14like some personal ones and this and that and then he's.
- 51:18Writing we should have left you in the.
- 51:19Rubber I'm like and it's everyone's favorite every share
- 51:23is just you where's my hug looking yeah but do you know why
- 51:25I think it is it's. Because it's so out of place
- 51:27with the with the musical stuff. I think it's great.
- 51:30I think it's fantastic. But in the moment, I'm like,
- 51:34like, come on and then feel the same way.
- 51:37And then I live in this thing. You.
- 51:40You tap, you tap into like the anger of like the normal person
- 51:46with that line, like, but it's just set to such angry, angry
- 51:51music. I think so.
- 51:53Who's that about #1? I'm starting to think nobody
- 51:56knows where his hug. Is also that song isn't.
- 51:59Like, even about like. A person.
- 52:01But that is something I've said about a person to them.
- 52:05I've called someone. You.
- 52:06Where's my hug looking motherfucker like and that
- 52:10person just like damn. Describe what?
- 52:14Where's my hug? Looking motherfucker looks like
- 52:16not cute, uglier. Than fuck and it's more it's
- 52:20more about their attitude than anything.
- 52:22Just like someone who's like. It's like everything I dislike
- 52:28you fucking. Know more than me, I've seen
- 52:30some. Where's my hard looking?
- 52:32Motherfuckers talk about that lyric and I've read it and been
- 52:35like, it's about you, dude, You wear.
- 52:38Some hard looking monsters, many such cases.
- 52:40Many. Such cases there are.
- 52:42Many there are. Many times I've.
- 52:44Seen people align with and love this band and then later on I'm
- 52:48just like, unfortunately. You have.
- 52:51Fallen into the category that I am just shitting on, and that's
- 52:57OK because they still buy stuff I'm gonna cut.
- 53:02That. Nope, not cutting.
- 53:04Come on, still fucking in there while we're on that song.
- 53:07That was me I got. You know what it reminds the 2
- 53:11before I go into. This bit OK.
- 53:12So you talked about that, You know, you got some serious songs
- 53:16in there. Sure.
- 53:16Which ones are yours and which ones are serious?
- 53:19Not that you're not serious. The title track, Stillwater,
- 53:21Yeah. Yeah, that one's pretty
- 53:22personal. Just like, I won't say I'm like
- 53:24the first person to do it, but just like, you know, battling
- 53:27with, wanting to keep going. Yeah, that being like, fuck it.
- 53:31It's more like at a time now I'm doing music full time and I'm a
- 53:34much happier human being than I've ever been in my 30 years on
- 53:38this earth. I worked full time, 9:00 to
- 53:415:00, just the grind every day and very unhappy most days.
- 53:45I was just trying to, you know, end the day without deep
- 53:49throating A tailpipe. You know what I mean?
- 53:51I know. So what were you doing?
- 53:53What was your job? I'm an electrician still.
- 53:55I was doing it. I still am.
- 53:57Yeah, I'm taking it. But I'm like, I don't do it
- 53:58anymore. Journeyman.
- 54:00Next time, someone. Carhart checks me.
- 54:02I've been there, got it with ironed this wet away knees and
- 54:06stuff. I got the duck canvas.
- 54:08And they're fucking used. That's what's up.
- 54:10So. You were like, no, I don't.
- 54:13You. I've been on that construction
- 54:15site, yeah. Good for you and not.
- 54:17A bit of car. It's miserable.
- 54:18It's miserable, yeah. I'm broker but happier.
- 54:21But I want to die. But I'm happy you're broker.
- 54:23But happier now, yeah. On Sam the Brokenness.
- 54:26Is only very. Short lived for your band, I
- 54:29think. OK, I think you boys are going
- 54:31to fuck if I can pay my rent every day.
- 54:33And do this, I'm beyond happy. If there's nine people at a show

- 54:39happy. I have no expectations.

- 56:44I'd never played a show live on a microphone before our first
- 56:49tour together, which was last year.
- 56:52This year, this year I'm. I have never.
- 56:54Bro played his first set. Ever as a front man, April,
- 56:58like, yeah, no wonder he's fucking flying.
- 57:00Around the stage being getting in your way, he doesn't, but he
- 57:03doesn't but he doesn't slow down.
- 57:04Either he's he's gotten endless. So OK, I'm I'm going to take
- 57:09the. Range just.
- 57:09A little bit. He's good at everything, right?
- 57:11He's one of those. He's never.
- 57:13He's never had to. He's.
- 57:14Never been a front man before. I've only ever been a front man.
- 57:19Nothing stopping you from sitting down.
- 57:21And practicing guitar bro, I am the least Rose played
- 57:23expedition. 33. Three times I have anyone's
- 57:26guitar he could have learned in that time.
- 57:28I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear.
- 57:30It suck every. Dick you can think of.
- 57:32Right now, Continue. I've been.
- 57:35I've been. Screaming in bands since I was
- 57:3716 years old, which is now over half my life.
- 57:41How old are you? I'm I just?
- 57:43Turned 33. We actually both turned 33 on
- 57:45the same day because we were born on the same day, same year.
- 57:48Insane. That's.
- 57:50Twin fucking witch. What does that mean?
- 57:54When's your birthday? August 7th.
- 57:56August 1990. Two OK, we're all Leo.
- 57:59Oh yeah, two days. This whole room.
- 58:01Not all me. He's a.
- 58:02Pisces, he's a water sign. OK, apparently it's bad, but
- 58:06here I am. Still shagging?
- 58:07I don't know. So that's Gabby going for
- 58:09something. What?
- 58:10My girls, a water sign. There we go.
- 58:11And I don't, I don't know what that means.
- 58:13She knows what it means. OK, so 2.
- 58:15Leos in a band, as Leos were known as natural.
- 58:18Born leaders, we have high energy, we have like natural
- 58:22charisma that could lead to butting of heads on creative
- 58:26ideas as both of you are leader types and want to take the
- 58:30reins. Being with a water sign though,
- 58:34that's why that you say your girlfriend's a water sign
- 58:36because oftentimes as a fire sign, Leos are fire signs, water
- 58:40signs. There's also a lot of like
- 58:43butting of heads because they tend to feel things deeper as
- 58:47water signs that she does. I think we.
- 58:49Talked on the last. Tour about how every member of
- 58:52Psycho Frame is a fire sign. Oh, you probably butt heads a
- 58:55lot. Then like you just.
- 58:56That's why the music's so aggressive.
- 58:58It's all. Fire.
- 58:59There's only one leaf. The only one, despite what Leo.
- 59:02Says. Virgos are Earth.
- 59:03Yeah, there's Earth Hunter is. The only.
- 59:06Member of Psycho Frame that is not fire.
- 59:08He's not in the van though, he's pulling the.
- 59:10Strings. He is not in the van.
- 59:11He's pulling. The strings he's got the.
- 59:13Guy in the chair, so we've got 2.
- 59:14Leo's butting heads I've. Gone off fucking Corsa comedy
- 59:17wars fucking talking about. I am pretty good at this, but
- 59:20that really this is bro I would never beef.
- 59:22Him never be anything serious. We genuinely the only.
- 59:25Problems we ever have is like brotherly things where I'm like,
- 59:29hey enough and he's like, he'll do that to me too and we're
- 59:31like, my bad. Same birthday, same.
- 59:34Same year then When do you meet this year?
- 59:36Last year? Last.
- 59:37Year. Yeah, we were talking about your
- 59:39first tour. We've we've been in each other's
- 59:41circles. A.
- 59:41Million times like us, you know what I mean?
- 59:43Like we were in the same vicinity this year, a couple
- 59:47months ago. You know what I mean?
- 59:48Did we meet at the wedding? No, I would.
- 59:50Have had to have gone out of my way.
- 59:51To say hi and I don't do that. He ain't going to do that.
- 59:53Why didn't I do? It I seen you and I.
- 59:54Went I should probably go say hi.
- 59:56To him, because we have a million mutual friends yeah, I
- 59:58recognize you the minute you. Came in, I was like, I know that
- 1:00:00guy, but how do we know him? So I'm.
- 1:00:04I've been doing. This for a second.
- 1:00:06He shows up, plays his first show as a front man this year,
- 1:00:10this calendar year. It's December now, so eight
- 1:00:13months ago. He's gutted he is better.
- 1:00:17Than. 95% of Front man's that you see this day that have been
- 1:00:23doing this for as long as I have it.
- 1:00:25Feels good. He's great.
- 1:00:28You. Want to lose?
- 1:00:28You want to lose just. He's good, good people.
- 1:00:31He's getting better. He keeps.
- 1:00:33Getting better. I do, yeah.
- 1:00:34I like getting. Better, That's my thing.
- 1:00:36I feel like your band like. You're saying as long as I can
- 1:00:39pay my bills and you're saying, you know, we're doing OK.
- 1:00:41I witnessed something this year which just, you know, a lot of
- 1:00:47people don't like the band. A lot of people don't think
- 1:00:49they're metal or whatever. But I watched Lorna Shaw play to
- 1:00:546000 people at the Pinnacle in Nashville.
- 1:00:57Now Nashville is notoriously terrible for shows. 6000 people
- 1:01:03watching that many kick drums and pig squeals and 7 1/2 to 8
- 1:01:08minute songs, yeah man you can do anything.
- 1:01:11Boys. Truly.
- 1:01:12Yeah, we're in a Renaissance era.
- 1:01:13Of heavy and aggressive music and like the heavier.
- 1:01:16And the more funny, arguably because sometimes fucking will
- 1:01:19does their whole fucking animal noise.
- 1:01:21Yeah, the heavier. And the funnier it.
- 1:01:24Is the bigger it can fucking go? Yeah.
- 1:01:27Anything that makes people go. What?
- 1:01:28The fuck did you just do? I won't pretend like we didn't.
- 1:01:31Like act. So like whenever we finished the
- 1:01:34vocal tracking and we had been in it and we were exhausted and
- 1:01:38we were like, fuck, OK, did we just make something that we even
- 1:01:42like kind of thing? And then you walk away and come
- 1:01:46back to it like we finished recording.
- 1:01:48We spent a month. In the studio doing vocals,
- 1:01:50music's all done at this point. Yeah, OK.
- 1:01:52And we're just. Cooked, absolutely cooked.
- 1:01:55There's a billion lyrics because there's two vocalists, so we
- 1:01:58need to say a million things and we finish and we're all just
- 1:02:01laying in the studio cooked and we're like, all right, well,
- 1:02:03let's listen to it back, make sure it's all good.
- 1:02:05And we got to. And we're like, I don't even
- 1:02:09like, I don't want to hear. It and then like.
- 1:02:12A couple weeks later revisiting like oh this shit bangs, this is
- 1:02:15cool. The fun and the jokes were worth
- 1:02:17it. Yeah.
- 1:02:19Yeah, the. Funny songs.
- 1:02:20They're doing well it. Turns out being silly can get
- 1:02:22you. Somewhere being silly in.
- 1:02:24An angry sense. I'll tell you what, it reminds
- 1:02:26me of the lyrics and I can't really.
- 1:02:29I'm excited to go back and differentiate who's who.
- 1:02:32Now I have a little bit more of an idea who writes what.
- 1:02:36I get the same feeling I normally like.
- 1:02:40I'm I listen to music at the gym and I listen to heavy music at
- 1:02:43the gym. I'm at the gym quite a lot.
- 1:02:47Shut out Simon. Cut that, Simon.
- 1:02:48Do not cut that, Simon. Cut that anyway.
- 1:02:51Don't cut it out. I'm in the gym quite a lot so I
- 1:02:53listen. That's where I listen to all my
- 1:02:55fucking heavy music. I get like the same feeling from
- 1:03:00your guys lyrics as I did from Vincent from The Acacia Strain
- 1:03:06in like 2003. The on the nose pointing like,
- 1:03:13you know, the 1st that first person anger with a hint of
- 1:03:17silliness, right, yeah, like I get that.
- 1:03:20I want to know who's like your, your lyrical inspiration or is
- 1:03:25it just very metaphorically? So I'm like.
- 1:03:28I. Don't know if I have like a
- 1:03:29main. Inspiration.
- 1:03:30But like, the thing that, like, really put me on to like,
- 1:03:32metaphorical style, style writing was Keith Buckley.
- 1:03:36Yeah, absolutely easy. Go of it.
- 1:03:39Oh. My God.
- 1:03:40The things he writes. I'm just like he's writing.
- 1:03:42Books. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:44And like intelligent. Ones and I'm just like what is
- 1:03:47he talking about yeah and then I like you look into it and you
- 1:03:50learn and whatever and you're just like yeah I like this
- 1:03:53that's shit resonated with me that's for Mike.
- 1:03:56I don't know. I think I was.
- 1:03:59Almost detrimentally metaphorical for a really long
- 1:04:03time, and now I've backed off and frames a different process.
- 1:04:07For you first it is a different process, but.
- 1:04:09Like, I mean, even in church time I feel like I've backed up
- 1:04:12a little bit, but really my wife actually kind of put.
- 1:04:19Some things into. Perspective about how I write.
- 1:04:21My wife is an amazing artist, Iris.
- 1:04:25Dot EXE do I say iris? Or do I say?
- 1:04:28Iris. I say Iris.
- 1:04:29I just say Iris. I just say Iris.
- 1:04:30Phenomenal talent, unbelievable on the.
- 1:04:33Bad omen. 'S remix.
- 1:04:34Album. Yep, what a fucking family that
- 1:04:37is. So she's.
- 1:04:39You. Know I I bring things to her,
- 1:04:41she brings things to me and you know she's given me you know,
- 1:04:47critiques this that and the other and at one point she said
- 1:04:52the thing that actually stuck with me is why are you not just.
- 1:04:56Writing how you. Talk.
- 1:04:58Why are you not? Just like.
- 1:04:59Kind of just like saying some shit that you would actually say
- 1:05:04to somebody. If you were writing a song in
- 1:05:06reference to somebody or in reference to how you feel, why
- 1:05:09are you not just talking about it?
- 1:05:12So unfortunately the way I process.
- 1:05:16A lot of that shit. Is by making something about it
- 1:05:19be funny and then that's that's how you get you.
- 1:05:22Where's my hug looking motherfucker?
- 1:05:23You're a funny guy. That work well.
- 1:05:26I try to be. I'm not going to pretend like
- 1:05:28everything I do or say lands. This is a hard fucking crowd to
- 1:05:31deal with. Is it really?
- 1:05:33You don't get him. I'm funny.
- 1:05:35You're the funny. You are pretty funny.
- 1:05:36He's unfortunately he is fucking hilarious.
- 1:05:39Funny, talented hair. Fuck this guy.
- 1:05:41Although who's saying this bro is beautiful?
- 1:05:44Look at that. OK, it's a hot.
- 1:05:46Fucking deep right there. I'm not good at taking
- 1:05:49compliments. I recognise just.
- 1:05:50Anyone at a wedding, bro? That's right.
- 1:05:53I saw you on a right. Dude's hot damn.
- 1:05:55That's what's up, Yeah. And then you stopped.
- 1:05:57Then I was like I've. Seen those smoky eyes before?
- 1:05:59Jesus fucking Christ. That's right.
- 1:06:01Anyway, back on point. So, Iris, Yeah, you got, well,
- 1:06:04you got like, grey, blue. Yeah, I don't know, Hazel Green.
- 1:06:07Something going on Hazel with brown?
- 1:06:09Sure. I believe you.
- 1:06:11Shit is beautiful. Get in.
- 1:06:15Get out, get lost in them. I got lost in them.
- 1:06:17For a minute. Oh my God.
- 1:06:19So Iris helped you in refining your style of lyrics, getting
- 1:06:23out of here, getting out of your own.
- 1:06:25Head, Yeah. Did that make it easier to do?
- 1:06:27I feel like for me, it would make it far easier if I'm trying
- 1:06:29to because I stray. We all write the lyrics and
- 1:06:32sometimes I want to like this could be a metaphor for this
- 1:06:35blah, blah, blah. And then it ends up the lyric is
- 1:06:37you stupid fuck. Very similar.
- 1:06:40It gets weight. Yeah, when?
- 1:06:41When you bring it back and you just, you know, like, and we
- 1:06:46talked about this in Vatican too, we would be like, you know,
- 1:06:50sometimes one of the easiest and best ways to say fuck you is to
- 1:06:53say fuck you. You know, that kind of aspect of
- 1:06:57it. And yeah, we actually reached a
- 1:06:59point with Psycho. Framework like how many times
- 1:07:01can how many ways can you say fuck you?
- 1:07:03I'm I think I posed the question. 1st and then everyone
- 1:07:06said yeah you're right. Well I like no revives.
- 1:07:08There's a part. For the one fucking the one part
- 1:07:10he wrote, yeah, in that song. Wait, all the silliest parts of
- 1:07:13that song. Fuck your fucking self.
- 1:07:15Fuck your fucking self, Fuck your face.
- 1:07:17Eat grenades. If.
- 1:07:18You weren't as. Heavy as you were.
- 1:07:20It would suck, but it because you're so heavy.
- 1:07:24I don't know what it is. It comedicly heavy comedicly.
- 1:07:28Heavy and then like. Guess what everyone's thinking
- 1:07:31as an angry person? Like no one wants to be like you
- 1:07:35are. The sun's dimming rays when
- 1:07:38they're just fucking angry. They won't say you where they're
- 1:07:41all looking, motherfucker. They're all genuine emotions
- 1:07:43too. Like when we.
- 1:07:44Perform when we write these I'm feeling the shit like I'm mad
- 1:07:48you mentioned you took. Too many of your meds the other
- 1:07:51day? Yeah.
- 1:07:52What meds I'd take. I'd take Adderall.
- 1:07:54I'd take Adderall. Yeah, took too many.
- 1:07:56Took too many back. Well, the.
- 1:07:58The joke is that I have to take a medicine every day to help me
- 1:08:01remember to take a medicine well.
- 1:08:04What actually happened? Was in the car.
- 1:08:06When Mike went for a pee, you looked at me and you said I'm so
- 1:08:09sorry if I'm being weird. And I said no, you're not being
- 1:08:12weird. And then you're like, genuinely
- 1:08:14don't remember if I took it today.
- 1:08:16I feel like you're having a little.
- 1:08:17I'm learning. Being on tour is like.
- 1:08:19It's hard. Like, you know, being on tour
- 1:08:21every day is different and blah, blah blah.
- 1:08:23And like, there's no real regiment.
- 1:08:25So it's like, how do I, I'm not gonna keep a bottle of pills in
- 1:08:28my pocket to make sure because I'll probably forget the timer
- 1:08:31on your phone. Every day.
- 1:08:32Holy fuck, never thought. About it like that you.
- 1:08:35Really do have a you're genuinely so.
- 1:08:37Smart bro. Crazy when?
- 1:08:39Did you get diagnosed? ADHD when I was like 9.
- 1:08:43I was like patient zero. They're like trying to buy this
- 1:08:46thing. Yeah.
- 1:08:47They're like, it's going to be cool in the future, that mom.
- 1:08:49'S like no, he's normal. We're not holding him back for
- 1:08:52the next three years. And I should have been.
- 1:08:54Yeah. I just had a hard time.
- 1:08:55I feel like my parents should have taken me there's.
- 1:08:57Definitely something that lives in me alongside those things
- 1:09:00right, But I'm not going to self thought it's like self like this
- 1:09:02kid is not normal There's. Yeah, got to be a reason.
- 1:09:05Took me to doctors and they were like, so he's got this thing and
- 1:09:07like blah blah, blah. And it was yeah, like I said, I
- 1:09:11hid it from everyone to school because I didn't want anyone to
- 1:09:13know. I'm like what she said was.
- 1:09:16It. Autism was it?
- 1:09:17Autism was. Yeah, just like a.
- 1:09:19Degree of it, I'm not like. You know.
- 1:09:25Start doing that fucking, you know, you know.
- 1:09:29I'm not at the. Fucking.
- 1:09:30Casino. Yeah, I'm not.
- 1:09:32Yeah, I'm. Not like, but it lives in you.
- 1:09:34Yeah, I. Hyperfixate I do all the.
- 1:09:36Things I'm socially awkward, I'm anxious, blah blah blah, those
- 1:09:39things. So, yeah, but you've also got
- 1:09:41you. You've.
- 1:09:41You've been touched with it because that's why he's so good
- 1:09:44at everything. Yeah.
- 1:09:46Hyperfixation. Yeah.
- 1:09:47There's something I'm like, oh, that's cool.
- 1:09:49So I'm going to hyperfixate until I'm proficient.
- 1:09:52Did you put it in most of the time?
- 1:09:53Is it in? Your buyer hell no bound would
- 1:09:56be bound to get twice as big it's.
- 1:09:59Okay, pop it in the I don't want.
- 1:10:00I don't. Want.
- 1:10:01Always, like even when I was a kid, I'm like, I don't want to
- 1:10:04be recognized as that. Admittedly, I think that
- 1:10:06actually. Make your life a lot worse
- 1:10:08because it would give a new thing for them to be parasocial
- 1:10:13with you about. Yeah, people ask me things a lot
- 1:10:15and I'm just. Like he, he gets chosen.
- 1:10:17What's your? Parasocial stuff I.
- 1:10:18Don't know Nothing, I mean, yeah.
- 1:10:20People like that I Now that I'm in this band, I get asked a lot
- 1:10:24of like vocal tips, OK, He has no idea I.
- 1:10:28Have no fucking. Clue you just I.
- 1:10:30Started doing that this year. You warm up.
- 1:10:32You ever been mad? No.
- 1:10:33You've been. Mad do that?
- 1:10:36Yeah. The fuck Yeah.
- 1:10:39What about you? You must warm up.
- 1:10:41You're a warm up guy. Look at that.
- 1:10:42I actually got in trouble. So this is the thing, Mike.
- 1:10:45Mike just recently talked about how he's been doing vocals since
- 1:10:48he was 16 years old. Yep, predominantly when you're
- 1:10:51that young and below, you start screaming into him, Mike, you
- 1:10:54don't do it properly and you damage things.
- 1:10:56So he had a long time of prolonged.
- 1:10:58He's good now, he knows what he's doing and everything, but
- 1:11:00because of that damage, you know, he struggles with things
- 1:11:03that I don't struggle with because I started doing this
- 1:11:05shit this year so I don't have the you do the highs.
- 1:11:08You do the lows, Yeah, Mainly, yeah.
- 1:11:10Is that the we can do both? There's parts and songs where I.
- 1:11:12Do blah blah blah. And so to see there's parts
- 1:11:14where he does highs but it's not too much.
- 1:11:16We try to just like keep the dichotomy there.
- 1:11:19There are nights where he'll. You know, he'll get a little
- 1:11:22squirrely and start getting silly with it and I will have to
- 1:11:26be like, what do you mean getting silly with it?
- 1:11:28Like he'll. He'll just.
- 1:11:30There's that, but also sometimes.
- 1:11:31The waking, the cadaver he'll force.
- 1:11:33The gunpoint to do those? Parts and layer something that
- 1:11:36would. Generally just be me but he'll
- 1:11:38hit the same tone as me and what I'm saying is he'll show up and
- 1:11:41smoke me for like 5 seconds. Give us a mass say damn.
- 1:11:45OK, all right. Does it?
- 1:11:47Worry you, You're. Gonna get the beat?
- 1:11:49Hell no, I'm not doing this shit by.
- 1:11:50Myself. No.
- 1:11:51Yeah, There we go. That's pretty good.
- 1:11:53Nah, that's bro who owns. The LLC.
- 1:11:56Hunter shit. Could happen.
- 1:11:58Yeah, you can just get rid of both of them.
- 1:11:59I mean he. Can do everything we can do
- 1:12:02times 10. I don't want to talk too much
- 1:12:04about him. Because he's not here to talk
- 1:12:05about it. He he seems to be in a bad
- 1:12:08place. Totally.
- 1:12:10He's sick. Yes.
- 1:12:11Chronically I'll he's fighting every single.
- 1:12:13Day so most days you can't get out of bed for the last like.
- 1:12:173-4 years have watched the declination of his health.
- 1:12:23I remember before he got diagnosed what it looked like
- 1:12:28for him. He was still touring, he was
- 1:12:30playing, singing for Mood ring. He also has always masterminded
- 1:12:36and he, me and my wife picked him up from Louisville on a tour
- 1:12:43where their van exploded. They didn't even finish the tour
- 1:12:47came to our house like kind of saw like kind of the ways that
- 1:12:50his health was declining and it was something he knew about.
- 1:12:53But there's no like face to the name for it or anything just yet
- 1:12:58when he got diagnosed and it like started really happening.
- 1:13:02I just I I've seen the timeline of the thing play out and it's a
- 1:13:08downward hill. Like, you know, it's like kind
- 1:13:10of like has it been flow? Like, he has his good days, he
- 1:13:14has his bad days, and he kind of just has to feel it out every
- 1:13:19single day. When he wakes, he's forced to
- 1:13:20stay busy. Obviously you got to pay.
- 1:13:21Bills and everything, but when you're ill, it's hard.
- 1:13:24So he'll at the stress of, you know, working and dealing with
- 1:13:28things and especially in the industry we're in, in management
- 1:13:31and two fucking bands and multiple.
- 1:13:33Bands right? So like he.
- 1:13:34In the stress on his body effects that sickness and it can
- 1:13:38decline because of that. And then you'll like, you know,
- 1:13:40get better a bit. So what is the sickness?
- 1:13:43It is called. CFS chronic fatigue syndrome.
- 1:13:50So it is very much close in relation to Long Covic, Long
- 1:13:55Covic, Amy and. Those yes, yes.
- 1:13:58And he's looked into all of them.
- 1:13:59Because they all look so much alike.
- 1:14:02God, that's gotta be so fucking frustrating.
- 1:14:04It is poor guy. Yeah, genuinely.
- 1:14:08And like. You know, we talk about wanting
- 1:14:10to do this podcast. I know you guys have talked.
- 1:14:12Yeah, we talked. We talked about doing it.
- 1:14:13And he was like, bro, I just can't fucking go anywhere, dude.
- 1:14:16The the crash. From forcing himself to go
- 1:14:21partake in an event it'll. Last like 2 weeks sometimes.
- 1:14:26Where he's just like, dude, he wants to beat it.
- 1:14:28He wants to. Get out.
- 1:14:29He wants to do the things he wants to do.
- 1:14:31Wonder if he'd have. He's stubborn as all hell.
- 1:14:32Like that's. Why he had to come to him, I'd
- 1:14:35love. To talk to him, but obviously I
- 1:14:36don't want to fucking put stress on him.
- 1:14:38That would be that would be awesome.
- 1:14:40He actually sent me your album so early.
- 1:14:42I I had your record like beginning of this year.
- 1:14:47When damn, whenever you put out before me single whenever you
- 1:14:50put out the first single. That wasn't Maybe it was no,
- 1:14:54when did feed come out? Feed That's like.
- 1:14:58Shit, that might be January. Yeah, I think it was I.
- 1:15:01Think Feed came out, I put on my story.
- 1:15:03I was like this is fucking sick. And he was like, you want to
- 1:15:05hear the album? And he sent it to me and I put
- 1:15:07it on and then track 1, The 80 Eights was so insane.
- 1:15:11I was just messaging him and I think it was because no, fuck
- 1:15:16was it the portal? Maybe it was the portal.
- 1:15:17I put on my story and I was like the 80 eights in this song are
- 1:15:20fucking ridiculous. And then he replied, I wait till
- 1:15:23you hear the ones in the first song.
- 1:15:24And he sent me the whole record. And then the 80 eights in
- 1:15:32Blueprints are just. So that's the first record.
- 1:15:35Yeah, that's the first song. Yeah.
- 1:15:37The 80 eights are the funniest fucking thing.
- 1:15:40But they're so heavy. Yeah.
- 1:15:42I've never, I've never seen an AO8 done like that.
- 1:15:46I don't think. I mean, I'm sure they have
- 1:15:47happened, but like, it makes the whole mix quiet.
- 1:15:50It does do that. And it and yeah, I mean, that
- 1:15:53was that was the idea. Just boosted it.
- 1:15:57We all laughed and we thought we were joking until about 4 hours
- 1:16:02later after we had finished tracking vocals and we said Nah,
- 1:16:05let's go, stay. I talked about that with.
- 1:16:07Isaac on this podcast before Isaac from not loose like him.
- 1:16:11I love Isaac. He's the fucking best.
- 1:16:13Him, me, not putting us up in the same fucking echelons as
- 1:16:19each other. Him, me, Meshuga.
- 1:16:21If something doesn't make me laugh, then it's not going on
- 1:16:26the album. Like something heavy has to make
- 1:16:28me laugh, right? I think that harks back to like,
- 1:16:31why I like your lyrics so much. It's like it's so aggressive
- 1:16:35that it's funny, and then that makes me like it more.
- 1:16:38Yeah. I mean outside of making.
- 1:16:40Sounds like. How else can I contribute to
- 1:16:44that feeling? So I that's it.
- 1:16:46I don't want to make it seem like I'm I really.
- 1:16:48Like it because it's funny. I just, I don't know it's even
- 1:16:50if that is I, I'll take it. Straight up, I'll take it.
- 1:16:54I think it's just. It's just funny.
- 1:16:55Because it's so heavy. If you were slightly less heavy,
- 1:16:59it wouldn't be funny. I agree.
- 1:17:00Like these kind of shit. Corny as hell.
- 1:17:02Yeah, I agree. It'd be like.
- 1:17:04It'd be some like. Local metal core band song and I
- 1:17:07think we're we're self aware. Enough in the thing that we're
- 1:17:10making that we can. That we like saw.
- 1:17:14That because when we're, I mean when we're tracking these songs,
- 1:17:17there's sometimes upwards of six people in the room all at the
- 1:17:22same time. We're tracking in front of each
- 1:17:24other. Nothing.
- 1:17:25No booth. Yeah, just just.
- 1:17:28Next to the engineer who who engineered it, Brandon.
- 1:17:31Our bass player. Wow, Leo twins.
- 1:17:35Birthday. Wow.
- 1:17:36Yeah, he engineered and. We all in house.
- 1:17:40We are in house, real. Drums Yosh.
- 1:17:43Real snare and. Cymbals, right?
- 1:17:48Hunter's going to kill me if I'm wrong.
- 1:17:49Wait. Program Toms and kick.
- 1:17:51Think so? That's insane the the DLP 2
- 1:17:54which we're already. Working on OK we're going full
- 1:17:58live room OK, well I'm so. Confused.
- 1:18:02Real snare. So I'm talking about the
- 1:18:05tracking of. This no, but we got a.
- 1:18:08Snare sample made. You should talk to Hunter about
- 1:18:10this. Yeah, OK.
- 1:18:11This. Is, yeah.
- 1:18:12No, it's fun. This is a this is a hunter
- 1:18:15question. Yeah, for sure.
- 1:18:16But it sounds very real. Here's what I'm getting.
- 1:18:18Obviously it's a real snare. Just was wondering.
- 1:18:20They're cracks, Brandon. Is an insane all in he.
- 1:18:25Mixed it as well. Oh yeah, that's such a good mix.
- 1:18:28I think that's a hunter and brands like Studios Digital.
- 1:18:31Ghost audio, I think that's another thing, I think the mix.
- 1:18:34Is again different enough for it to stand out to me.
- 1:18:38Like heavy music sound crazy heavy.
- 1:18:42Yeah, heavy music can. Be very formulaic when people go
- 1:18:46to the same mixer. Yeah, same mastery.
- 1:18:49I don't really care about same mixer, same engineer.
- 1:18:52A lot of the times with the heavier stuff, it's like it
- 1:18:55doesn't have like it's fingerprint.
- 1:18:57Yeah, I know Randy revamped all the.
- 1:18:59Guitars. Randy was actually someone.
- 1:19:00I was going to mention like the the this year, the other album
- 1:19:04that really stood out to me in terms of like aggressive and
- 1:19:07sounding different was Orthodox is one.
- 1:19:11That record is awesome. Insane.
- 1:19:12And again sounds. Sounds.
- 1:19:14Sounds crazy. Sounds sounds almost weird.
- 1:19:17I I think Randy is. One of like I, I I feel
- 1:19:22confident saying like top five engineer, like that's like top
- 1:19:25five hang as well. That that 3.
- 1:19:28Perhaps 2? What a guy with EQ.
- 1:19:30And you add. EQ into the mix.
- 1:19:32See EQ's little Carhartt jacket today.
- 1:19:34Oh I did. Oh I did.
- 1:19:36I saw that shit. I liked it.
- 1:19:38OK, I got some some. Questions about where certain
- 1:19:41things came from. Whose brain again?
- 1:19:44I'm still on blueprints. Yeah.
- 1:19:46The Resident Evil 7 sample. Neither of us.
- 1:19:49Is that a? Hunter.
- 1:19:50That's a Hunter 1. Yeah, that.
- 1:19:52And it was a. Different sample.
- 1:19:53It did have a different sample from the same.
- 1:19:55It's still, yeah. Bro from.
- 1:19:57RE-7 you didn't get. It's just a different line.
- 1:19:59You didn't get any. What's his name?
- 1:20:01Jack. I think, I can't remember.
- 1:20:02I think that is Jack. Did you get?
- 1:20:05Did you play that game? Yeah.
- 1:20:06Did you play it in VR? Hell no.
- 1:20:08Hell no. But we have that in me we had.
- 1:20:11It on a stray. Tour and we had it in VR at the
- 1:20:14back lounge of the bus and it would just be play the show.
- 1:20:18It's biohazard time in the back of the lounge with the VR
- 1:20:22headset post show. Oh.
- 1:20:24My God. Scariest fucking?
- 1:20:26Shit, ever. Like, scary.
- 1:20:27Legitimately. Terrible I.
- 1:20:29Don't want to be there? I feel like I'm like the most.
- 1:20:32I I think I'm the most fun on tour after a show.
- 1:20:36I think before a show, I'm I'm quiet.
- 1:20:39I don't. Yeah, I'm freaking out about the
- 1:20:40show. Yeah, yeah, Post show, get me on
- 1:20:44Biohazard. You can't find me before we play
- 1:20:45because I'm pooping. Pooping bro is pooping.
- 1:20:48I don't get. Nerves.
- 1:20:49I just like I. Think I got a shit.
- 1:20:51That is what they call nerves. Right, that's the yeah, but.
- 1:20:55I'm not like. What if I go up there?
- 1:20:56And fuck up. I'm just like, no, I'm ready to
- 1:20:58play. But yeah, that's how you that's.
- 1:21:01How I don't, I just go there and I'm just like.
- 1:21:03Yeah, I don't. I get it as well.
- 1:21:05It doesn't matter if I've shit. Or piss.
- 1:21:07But what if I don't go on stage? Try.
- 1:21:09And then I get on stage and I'm like, fuck, I really shit.
- 1:21:12Yeah. I just don't.
- 1:21:13Gamble it and I've seen a handful.
- 1:21:14Of people shit themselves. On stage it doesn't look fun.
- 1:21:16I've seen Greg for Dillinger. OK, shit on purpose on stage.
- 1:21:20Wow, that's something else. Was it as?
- 1:21:22Cool as he. Thought it would be.
- 1:21:24It was as a. As as a child seeing it, it was
- 1:21:28Reading Festival 2001, I believe.
- 1:21:31OK. It was the coolest thing I've
- 1:21:34ever seen. So like we're talking like I've
- 1:21:36never seen. It so I can't everybody.
- 1:21:39OK, shit in his. Pants are shit on the stage.
- 1:21:41It's. Reading Festival, I think.
- 1:21:42Oh. No, it's Reading Festival 2001.
- 1:21:46I can't remember who was headlining.
- 1:21:47Maybe it was 2000. Maybe it was Rage Against the
- 1:21:49Machine. It was like a classic fucking
- 1:21:51lineup. OK, There was a little tent that
- 1:21:53had a lot of the metal bands and at the time, I hate to say it, a
- 1:21:57lot of the Scar bands that I quite like.
- 1:22:00Yeah. Hell yeah.
- 1:22:02I don't have. I was I.
- 1:22:03Was 13. OK, so there there was a band
- 1:22:06playing called Dangerous. The Dangerous Escape plan as we
- 1:22:08all know. I walked past and then this.
- 1:22:11This would have been pre Miss Machine, so this would have been
- 1:22:15when Greg was just playing Dimitri songs.
- 1:22:17Sure. And I walked past and I hear
- 1:22:19just what is noise to my 13 year old brain.
- 1:22:23But like an incredible drummer, but just fucking noise.
- 1:22:27I go, I watch it and I'm like, I don't understand this, but
- 1:22:30obviously it's quite cool. Similar feeling.
- 1:22:32First time I heard like square pusher or a fixture and I was
- 1:22:34like, this is so odd that's mentioned.
- 1:22:36I will make sure. I like.
- 1:22:38It yeah, fuck yeah. Love a fixture and then he
- 1:22:42proceeds to shit pull down his pants, he said.
- 1:22:46There's got. You're going to see.
- 1:22:47A lot of shit on that mainstage today, so I can't remember the
- 1:22:51rest of the line, but it was like a fucking Arnie quote.
- 1:22:54It was like, you're going to see a lot of shit on that mainstage
- 1:22:58today, so let me just start it off for you.
- 1:23:00And he pulled down his pants, shit in either a towel or like a
- 1:23:05plastic bag. I can't remember what it was I
- 1:23:08wasn't on the stage on. The stage, The Gigi Allen.
- 1:23:10Style right and then swings it and throws it into the crowd.
- 1:23:15I wouldn't kill myself. I'm gone if.
- 1:23:16That hit me immediately. I would kill my.
- 1:23:19Favorite fucking band I bought. Fucking calculating Infinity the

- 1:23:45thing. In the world for sure.
- 1:23:46True. I'm trying to tap into that 13

- 1:36:12going to the studio and I just put it off.
- 1:36:15The first season didn't, I didn't love it.
- 1:36:17I was like, it's pretty sub. It's like standard, yeah.
- 1:36:20Nothing I haven't seen. I'm like, this is fine, but
- 1:36:22everyone's telling me it's the best and all this stuff and I'm
- 1:36:25like a big chainsaw man. This.
- 1:36:27Is what I need because I'm exactly the same and I haven't
- 1:36:30done it. All about Chainsaw man second

- 1:36:39Animation change, Pacing changes, music changes,
- 1:36:42everything. I'm like oh because I think I
- 1:36:44tried the first. Episode like 3 times and I was
- 1:36:47like I'm not first season Madison is screaming and I see I
- 1:36:51that JJK is my. Favorite I cosplay, I love it.

- 1:37:02In Fortnite, I I need to I need to.
- 1:37:04Get and I like the I like that there's only two seasons in a
- 1:37:08movie. Build up on that first season.
- 1:37:09Watch it. That you get through and you're
- 1:37:11like. That was fine.
- 1:37:12Second. Season starts and you're like
- 1:37:14holy shit I. Love that I love.
- 1:37:17The phone. Like.
- 1:37:18Where movies are coming in and taking the place of doing arcs.
- 1:37:22So like so the chainsaw man movie with haven't seen it yet
- 1:37:27Reza arc? Yeah, I haven't seen it.
- 1:37:28It's. So good I've seen.
- 1:37:29Loudest thing I've ever seen in my fucking life.
- 1:37:31No, we went to an IMAX. I went when.
- 1:37:33We were in London. I went and watched it that
- 1:37:34morning by myself and it was Oh no, I went with Sam.
- 1:37:36I wish he never watched an anime in his life.
- 1:37:40Shut out Sam. Yeah, I took.
- 1:37:41Him, he was like. What are you doing?
- 1:37:42I'm like going to a movie. He's like, I'm I'm bored, I'm
- 1:37:45coming, I'm bored, I'm bored. And then he never watched anime
- 1:37:49and he. We walked.
- 1:37:50Out of that and I was like, I know that shit probably was
- 1:37:52crazy to you. And he was like, no, it was
- 1:37:54good, I liked it. And he was telling people I was
- 1:37:55like, this shit must be good. Yeah, if he's fire, awesome.
- 1:38:00Yeah. But like, if you never watch
- 1:38:01anime and you're like, OK, I feel like that's what is going.
- 1:38:05On here. People on.
- 1:38:06Sure. Yeah, I think it's a good first.
- 1:38:08It's a gateway. It's like fucking.
- 1:38:10Wacky. You know what else was a little
- 1:38:12bit slow burner? And then the second season was
- 1:38:15phenomenal solo levelling. Did you do that?
- 1:38:18Second season was. Where I fell off really.
- 1:38:21I haven't finished it yet. I actually don't like.
- 1:38:23Any of solo levelling anime? Read the whole manga, love it.
- 1:38:28Oh, it's not as good. As the manga, I think the and I
- 1:38:30and I don't really. Hold this opinion about like
- 1:38:32almost any other series, but I do legitimately think the manga
- 1:38:35is better than the anime. Interesting what?
- 1:38:39Else was a better? Not really.
- 1:38:42Anime, but Arcane. Second season of Arcane.
- 1:38:45I don't know anything about that.
- 1:38:46The fucking. Best first season?
- 1:38:48I liked the first season. Have you done the second season?
- 1:38:50Is that the league of? Legends.
- 1:38:51Yeah, OK. I've never.
- 1:38:53Played League of Legends I. Actively make fun of my friends
- 1:38:55that play it. Never watch.
- 1:38:57The first season I was like yeah show's fucking awesome.
- 1:39:00Second season 8 goes fucking. Bananas.
- 1:39:02Yeah. OK, I got to talk to you, demon.
- 1:39:04Slayer has a close. First season, I do not care for
- 1:39:07the first season. Even that, that one, that one,
- 1:39:09genuinely. Nowhere near as my problem is
- 1:39:11any other piece of material related to it.
- 1:39:14The fucking problem is the first season versus the.
- 1:39:16Rest yeah, first season of Demon Slayer.
- 1:39:18It there's nothing. It's not bad.
- 1:39:20I mean, I've I've done it. It's.
- 1:39:21All fine I think maybe I've done. 1 1/2.
- 1:39:24Seasons of demon Slayer and then I just got annoyed that there's
- 1:39:27fucking 8. How many seasons is there?
- 1:39:30No, including. Movies I don't follow.
- 1:39:33If you include the movies. Which sometimes.
- 1:39:35They turn into their own short seasons after the fact, which
- 1:39:39makes no fucking. Sense.
- 1:39:42It's got to be like 6 seasons. Yeah, that's not including the
- 1:39:45movies. That's why I need to get in on
- 1:39:46this. JJK while I can do it 4-4 and
- 1:39:50then how many movies 2 train? One and.
- 1:39:56They. Just released, I haven't seen
- 1:39:57the movie The newest. Movie which is about the.
- 1:40:00Infinity Castle, Yes, thank you. Here's the thing when you start.
- 1:40:03Off with the goats. Like Berserk and Evangelion,
- 1:40:06everything you watch after that, especially at the start, you're
- 1:40:08like, this is just, this is just Evangelion again.

- 1:42:48fuck out there whenever I found like this one shelf.
- 1:42:51Just a collection of mostly Dragon Ball Z stuff, but a lot
- 1:42:57of this is at least 20 years old or so.
- 1:43:00I know the little room that you're talking.
- 1:43:01About some of the figures are not.
- 1:43:03Painted, they're like kind of black and white.
- 1:43:06Monochrome. A lot of those things I either
- 1:43:10knew about, never saw in real life, out in the wild or
- 1:43:13something like that. And just me, I was lighting up
- 1:43:18inside. Like I remember seeing the promo
- 1:43:22that they handed out for the original Budokai or like Legacy
- 1:43:28of Goku to the Game Boy Advance game.
- 1:43:30I'm the the Dragon Ball guy. So that shit, that that shit
- 1:43:35means something to me. They'll break in the.
- 1:43:39Voice there. That guy's such a fucking
- 1:43:41legend. I'm trying.
- 1:43:42There was talks when I went there, You know, I am by this
- 1:43:46point. I was like, Oh yeah, Alex.
- 1:43:48It's like the first time I ever met him.
- 1:43:49And I was like, let me do a voice.
- 1:43:51And he was like, he was like, let me see what I can do.
- 1:43:54So then he comes back to me. At one point it was he was like,
- 1:43:59I think I can get you a voice on solo levelling too.
- 1:44:02It didn't happen, but he was like, OK, so you're on the radar
- 1:44:06now and you do the voices. They were like looking, I'm sure
- 1:44:09I could do something. I would love a good.
- 1:44:11Do a charge up. Well, here's here's the thing.
- 1:44:15And he was like, I think we could maybe sort something out
- 1:44:17for Black Butler because there's a bunch of English voices in
- 1:44:21there. Yeah.
- 1:44:22So that's like, why? That's.

- 1:48:58Truths that you saw your mum and dad fuck now OK then we're.
- 1:49:04Just giving that out for. Free.
- 1:49:05Yeah, that's. OK, let's do it.
- 1:49:08Reel them off when I was nine years old.
- 1:49:11I watched Fight Club 28 times in a row because Fred Durst has a
- 1:49:17line in a song called Living It Up Where?
- 1:49:21He said he watched. Fight Club 28 times and I
- 1:49:23thought that was fire. So for every night for 28 days,
- 1:49:27I watched Fight Club when I was nine years old before bed, OK?
- 1:49:32That's fantastic. I really.
- 1:49:34Hope that's true. Carry on.
- 1:49:35Next one to. In high school I got arrested
- 1:49:40for using a fake ID to buy alcohol for my friends.
- 1:49:44Cops ended up being chill, we hung out after and shit like
- 1:49:47that was it was fine and then my last one was super bad.
- 1:49:53I have a cat. With diagnosed.
- 1:49:55Anxiety and she has a veterinary prescribed.
- 1:50:01Medication, which is. Equivalent to Prozac that I have
- 1:50:04to give her daily. This what backwards.
- 1:50:08You know the name of this medication?
- 1:50:10No, I just call it Kitty Prozac. Kitty Brazac, you have pot more.
- 1:50:14No, it's I have to give it to. Her via ointment because she
- 1:50:17won't take it via treat. She knows that shit's in there.
- 1:50:21She's stressed out. I got a checkered history.
- 1:50:22With taking my pets meds so I had.
- 1:50:26A dog that. Had a phantom pregnancy, which
- 1:50:30is when the dog thinks they're pregnant so they're little dog
- 1:50:33tits swell up and it's not funny.
- 1:50:37The little dog knockers swell up.
- 1:50:41You're saying dog knockers and you're.
- 1:50:43Saying it's not funny bro are we dead ass?
- 1:50:46You just said so anyway, so she had to take.
- 1:50:48This medication and I was in a, you know, time in my life where
- 1:50:51I was dabbling in different things.
- 1:50:52So I Googled the medication and it was basically they give it to
- 1:50:57people, men who would get a similar thing where they would
- 1:51:02start milking out their tits. It's like a hormone imbalance.
- 1:51:05It basically drops down your Proactin which gives you breast
- 1:51:11milk. Anyway, so I googled it and I
- 1:51:13was like, what are the symptoms? And the symptoms were no sorry.
- 1:51:18The side effects for a person were no refractory period after
- 1:51:23sex, infinite nuts and addiction to gambling.
- 1:51:28What from this dog's? Medications.
- 1:51:31I was like. Fuck yeah, let me take this
- 1:51:32dog's medication and see what happens.
- 1:51:34Put a couple of bets on, but it wasn't anything like crazy.
- 1:51:37When was the last time? You had a casino?
- 1:51:40I can't remember. I can't remember.
- 1:51:41But the the infinite nuts thing did work.
- 1:51:45It wasn't infinite, but like you could not and then not again, it
- 1:51:48was kind of crazy. But anyway, so back to your
- 1:51:50story. How many, how many times a day
- 1:51:53does she have to have it? Just once a day.
- 1:51:57I'm bored of this one, I'm going to the next one, OK?
- 1:52:01This one seems too true. OK.
- 1:52:02You got arrested for buying alcohol for your friends.
- 1:52:06Yeah. What was the name on your fake
- 1:52:08ID? Mclovin fucking knew it.
- 1:52:10Yeah. Yeah, I.
- 1:52:12Knew it, so that's the lie. Yeah, and then, which would make
- 1:52:16the first story true? Yeah.
- 1:52:19You watched Fight Club 28 times. Yeah, because I want to be like
- 1:52:23Fred Durst. That was one of the most
- 1:52:25believable. Things he's ever said.
- 1:52:27Which is why I thought it was so funny.
- 1:52:28It all circles back to the ADHD. And then what?
- 1:52:31What happened when you watched that?
- 1:52:3228th time got around around time 17 were you like OK when
- 1:52:37something supposed to happen I started punching holes in
- 1:52:39drywall a. Lot the cap.
- 1:52:42Became red, yeah. Mario thing no.
- 1:52:46Yeah, movie is fine. You can't has anxiety.
- 1:52:49Sorry to. Cut back Jeff really bad.
- 1:52:52And it's and it's aggressive anxiety.
- 1:52:54So when she gets scared or unsettled or whatever, she
- 1:52:56doesn't run and hide. She's like one of us is dying
- 1:52:58right now. I feel like Jeep might have
- 1:53:00anxiety. That sounds very similar.
- 1:53:02If someone startles her, she doesn't know.
- 1:53:04Or something's going on. She's uncomfortable.
- 1:53:05She's like, OK, me and you. What's happening?
- 1:53:07One of us dies. Abigail.
- 1:53:09Abigail. Which brings me to my next
- 1:53:10point. What the fuck is your dog's
- 1:53:12name? Halo 3.
- 1:53:14The dog your. Your dog's name.
- 1:53:17Is your dog. 'S name is Halo 3.
- 1:53:22All right, all right, I get it. Forget you can.
- 1:53:23Sing you can. Your dog's name is Halo 3.
- 1:53:26Halo 3. Why do you?
- 1:53:27Seem. Annoyed about this.
- 1:53:29Question. No, I'm serious about it.
- 1:53:31He's that's. It why?
- 1:53:32Is it the same with dogs I love? It it's not funny, Yeah.
- 1:53:35I mean, it's good, right? So I actually didn't come up
- 1:53:37with her name. Maddie, my wife did.
- 1:53:40She came I originally. Went.
- 1:53:42Into looking for a dog, thinking that I was going to name a dog
- 1:53:46Bone Saw based off of Tobey Maguire's first Spider Man
- 1:53:50movie, The wrestler he fights in the cage.
- 1:53:52Bone Saw is ready. I could talk about.
- 1:53:55Marvel all day but for. Sure, continue Halo.
- 1:53:59Is not a bone saw personality wise.
- 1:54:03Oh, OK. And not that.
- 1:54:05I not that I have. Like a a perfect vision for who
- 1:54:08Bone saw is as a dog, but it just, it didn't land.
- 1:54:13And so for about 36 hours, she was unnamed.
- 1:54:18I mean, she was called Katara at the shelter because the pattern
- 1:54:22in the back of her neck is an arrow.
- 1:54:25So they just gave her the name Katara, kind of like Last
- 1:54:28Airbender. But you know, a Aang was a boy.
- 1:54:32So what? I don't know.
- 1:54:34And she just said, what if we name her Halo three?
- 1:54:38It just stuck. Specifically Halo three, though
- 1:54:41it's. One of the best games ever made.
- 1:54:43They're not two or one or. Just Halo.
- 1:54:45Halo 3's goaded 33. I mean, it is, yeah.
- 1:54:48But it's very specific as a name.
- 1:54:50As a name, the 3rd of a trilogy is kind of, I mean, the whole
- 1:54:54thing's crazy. I love it.
- 1:54:55I'm all for it. What sort of nicknames you give?
- 1:54:57In Halo. 3 Balo OK. Yeah, she's being bad.
- 1:55:03The classic. B Abigail Babs.
- 1:55:06There we go. I call her chicken butt.
- 1:55:08Actually, I call her. Gary when she's being a.
- 1:55:09Shit head Gary. Gary Abu Gary.
- 1:55:12Abu Gary, she's got this face. She's just.
- 1:55:14Like. When she hasn't had her meds,
- 1:55:16When. She's when she's taken too many
- 1:55:17of her meds, She forgot. Just like her dad.
- 1:55:20Yeah, just like her bloody dad. You know they do say.
- 1:55:23That, you know, your pet takes after you.
- 1:55:26Yeah, you know. I feel like there is some
- 1:55:29anxious and. Aggressive.
- 1:55:29You ever seen someone that looks?
- 1:55:30So much. Like their pet that it is kind
- 1:55:35of like worrying. Yeah, but I feel like people
- 1:55:38turn into their pets like rather than.
- 1:55:41They pick a pet that. Looks like them.
- 1:55:42Pitbull boxer. Yeah. 100% badass.
- 1:55:46Yeah, you look like a darker. Justin.
- 1:55:48Timberlake. I get that off.

- 1:58:49he says I'm trying to learn about your shit.
- 1:58:50I'm trying to learn about your. It's tapping into rocket fight,
- 1:58:53Yeah. So whenever I ask.
- 1:58:55Him like Lord of the Rings questions and he's just sitting
- 1:58:57there like, will you shut the fuck up?

- 1:59:07Like a collector's thing, you follow airplane.
- 1:59:11Fax with Max on Instagram. We ever seen that guy?
- 1:59:14He's an airplane mechanic and he like, he's like a legitimate
- 1:59:18airplane mechanic. And all he does is he will, like
- 1:59:22something will happen in the news about a fuselage or
- 1:59:25something in a plane and he'll explain what the fuselage is.
- 1:59:29Is that's really hard to do. Yeah.
- 1:59:31He'll explain what it is. And while he's talking about,
- 1:59:33you know, this is the part of the plane that does this, unlike
- 1:59:37in the Lord of the Rings. And then he goes off on this
- 1:59:39like they're like two or three minute long autistic rant.
- 1:59:43Yeah, specifically Lord of the Rings related.
- 1:59:46And people have called him out like, you're not doing this from
- 1:59:47memory. And he's done it with mirrors
- 1:59:49and stuff. The guy's just a Rolodex
- 1:59:51anyways. A fuck.
- 1:59:52I always want to say I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings then.
- 1:59:54I know guys like that exist and I'm like, I like it.
- 1:59:56I'm the same. She's kind of like that.

- 2:00:03I'm not like I'm there, but I can't.
- 2:00:05I can't, I'm not doing that. Retain the info it all.
- 2:00:08Circles back. Give me these.
- 2:00:10Two troops in my life, yeah. Yeah.
- 2:00:11For sure so. It's my bad I have gotten
- 2:00:14scabies twice on the same tour. I so gross.
- 2:00:18I once. Almost got.
- 2:00:19My elementary school PE teacher fired and was a missing person's
- 2:00:24case. And I once received.
- 2:00:28A cease and desist from Martin Shkreli.
- 2:00:30Now What's scabies? And is that the thing?
- 2:00:32Pirates get no but when I told. When when I had.
- 2:00:36Made mention. Of this to Brandon that was his
- 2:00:39response. He goes, Is that the shit
- 2:00:40Pirates get? What is Scabies?
- 2:00:43Scabies are. Microscopic mites that Burrow
- 2:00:48into your skin. It is not a sign that you are
- 2:00:51gross, but it is. But it is a sign that where you
- 2:00:54went was gross. The word is gross.
- 2:00:56So they Burrow into your skin and burst an animal.
- 2:01:00It's a whole thing. It's an itchy rash.
- 2:01:02It is. So.
- 2:01:03Unbelievably unpleasant and they even acting really.
- 2:01:08Well, or this one's true. They get in your crap, they get
- 2:01:10in those too. Much rubbishes we didn't tell
- 2:01:12each other our. Things so I'm.
- 2:01:14Like, I don't know, where was it?
- 2:01:16Hands. Tits.
- 2:01:19Crotch. Gross.
- 2:01:20Yeah. Crotch they go for.
- 2:01:23That's crevice. And moisture sounds pretty
- 2:01:25crabby. Crevice and moisture.
- 2:01:28Many crevices. In your hands.
- 2:01:30I mean, it's a simple life. What?
- 2:01:33What was that door? Oh.
- 2:01:34God this had to have been like 20. 1314 and I stayed in quite
- 2:01:42gross spot and I want to say it was definitely in like
- 2:01:46Appalachia. It's like that part of the
- 2:01:48country. No, I don't want to be that guy,
- 2:01:50but. If I was, it was, it was a rough
- 2:01:53one. It was a rough one and.
- 2:01:55Yeah, got it twice. Twice on the same toys as you
- 2:01:58got rid of it. Treated.
- 2:01:59Treated with what? Shit, what is?
- 2:02:00It called It's a cream. Like some anti it's a.
- 2:02:03It's a cream and has like. Cortico steroids.
- 2:02:06It's like cream. Yeah, it's like a certain you
- 2:02:08can only have a. Certain percentage of it within
- 2:02:09the cream because it is like poison, yeah, but it's how it
- 2:02:13absorbs it absorbs into the skin, kills the mites.
- 2:02:16You got rid of it, but. If you've.
- 2:02:19Contracted scabies once your second time you're going to
- 2:02:23you're going to feel the symptoms of it way faster
- 2:02:26because the what they've burrowed in you even if it is
- 2:02:31microscopic, it's still there. So if you come in contact with
- 2:02:34it again, they the trail has already been blazed
- 2:02:38reactivating. They're fallen brothers.
- 2:02:42Jesus Christ. OK, so you get it a second time.
- 2:02:45Yeah. In the same in the same hotel or
- 2:02:47just the equally shit hotel? Do you think you just didn't
- 2:02:49wash your box as well? No, I I think I did a pretty
- 2:02:52good. Job.
- 2:02:53I mean it very well could have just like still existed on
- 2:02:56something and then got me again. Could have been the same thing,
- 2:03:00but for the sake of the story I definitely say you.
- 2:03:03Know I just. Got it twice.
- 2:03:05OK, you're either incredibly good at.
- 2:03:06Acting or I believe that one is true, so let's move on your high
- 2:03:12school teacher, grade elementary, elementary school
- 2:03:15teacher. So the story.
- 2:03:17Here is so I'm in the 5th grade, which means I'm eleven years old
- 2:03:23and I was a very sensitive kid. Some would say I'm sensitive
- 2:03:30today, but most? But my hug, yeah.
- 2:03:37He's still. Looking for it.
- 2:03:39He's looking for. It so it's, you know, it's some.
- 2:03:41Recess gym class Shit, I'm pretty sure it was gym class.
- 2:03:43Or I'll say it wouldn't be my PE teacher specifically who is the
- 2:03:47subject here, but we're playing capture the flag.
- 2:03:50I'm going fast. I have a flag.
- 2:03:53I'm going. Right.
- 2:03:54All of a sudden I start hearing behind me this girl Ariel say
- 2:03:59he's cheating, he's cheating. I would like to clarify, I do
- 2:04:02not think you tag like touching my shirt if you're chasing me.
- 2:04:06And if I don't feel that, I don't consider that attack.
- 2:04:09I don't think that constitutes as A tag, especially when I'm
- 2:04:12going. Fast as fuck she.
- 2:04:14I don't know, I hope. I I'll set the record straight.
- 2:04:18I still stand on business. I was not cheating.
- 2:04:20I was not cheating. So anyways, she.
- 2:04:22Says he's cheating and then her whole team which is everyone in
- 2:04:27my grade. How old is she?
- 2:04:29Same grade. 11, Bitch. Bitch.
- 2:04:32Everyone's. Turned on me.
- 2:04:33I'm a cheater, apparently. I know I didn't.
- 2:04:35I'm just fast as fuck and I'm mad.
- 2:04:38I get, you know, I start crying. There's a slide, probably 25
- 2:04:43feet, you know, diagonally to me and I go and I sit in that slide
- 2:04:49for 2 1/2 hours. Gym class ends, everyone goes to
- 2:04:52class. No one notices at first that I
- 2:04:55haven't showed back up nor did I notice that the cops had showed
- 2:05:00up looking for me. Everyone thought I was gone and,
- 2:05:04you know, could have been abducted, ran away, whatever.
- 2:05:07I just went and sat in the slide and you got called a cheater.
- 2:05:10I recall a. Cheater.
- 2:05:11And it did that shit. Just fucked me up real bad.
- 2:05:14He's the one on the spectrum. Derek.
- 2:05:18You. Sit there with his big ass
- 2:05:19sword. Just.
- 2:05:20Feeling bad? Yeah, I.
- 2:05:23Listen, I'm normal as fuck. I'm.
- 2:05:26Normal as fuck. Derek Krebs found me in that
- 2:05:29slide after that like 2 1/2 hours.
- 2:05:32I then ran into that that PE teacher later on in life in my
- 2:05:38senior year of high school when I like I basically got to be
- 2:05:44like a camp counselor for like a weekend.
- 2:05:47It was like a school trip where then I was a camp counselor to
- 2:05:50kids who were in the 5th grade at the time.
- 2:05:53I had that experience reversed when I was in the 5th grade and
- 2:05:55I thought it was so cool. We went to this place called
- 2:05:57Bradford Woods, had to sign off with that teacher.
- 2:06:01She didn't recognize me at first.
- 2:06:03And when she did recognize me, I found.
- 2:06:07Out what PTSD looked. Like, for the first time,
- 2:06:09really. Oh.
- 2:06:11I saw. Everything I saw Vietnam behind
- 2:06:15behind her in loads of trouble and she.
- 2:06:17And like she wanted. To jump at me.
- 2:06:20Oh, she was so pissed at it. Oh.
- 2:06:22Yeah, she she I. Could tell the first thing she
- 2:06:24felt was anger and then it was like a so that was some time
- 2:06:28ago, you're legally speaking an adult now so things have to have
- 2:06:31changed, right? Damn.
- 2:06:35Martin, Charlie. Was the.
- 2:06:38Previous owner of the unreleased Wu Tang record and who famously,
- 2:06:41That's what I Was going to say spiked.
- 2:06:43Insulin prices, Yeah, I was. Going to say what?
- 2:06:46What was your? Season assist.
- 2:06:48For. Making fucking HIV vaccines or
- 2:06:51whatever he's trying to kill next.
- 2:06:53So he used to get on. Instagram Live and he had a
- 2:06:58burner number that people would call and he would answer on
- 2:07:01Instagram live and people would answer or people would call and
- 2:07:05he answers. They say some cryptic bullshit
- 2:07:08like I heard one guy say when the game.
- 2:07:12Ends. All of the chess pieces still go
- 2:07:15into the same box as the king and he would be like, that was
- 2:07:20fucking profound, hangs up on them or whatever.
- 2:07:23Me and my friends, we would call and we had Pester and we wanted
- 2:07:29him to give our friend Chris. We wanted him to send $5 on cash
- 2:07:35app to our friend Chris. That was it.
- 2:07:37Just just to. You know.
- 2:07:39Yeah, we just like, yeah, we got Martin him.
- 2:07:41Jacking up insulin prices. Yes.
- 2:07:44He's hated. I didn't.
- 2:07:45Yeah, I know he's a. Fucking piece of shit but like
- 2:07:47why is he getting well this call in thing he just kind of was
- 2:07:51like 1 of. Those guys who was so
- 2:07:54universally hated and just tapped in on that and it kept
- 2:07:57attention for him and I think he knew he was going to go to
- 2:08:00prison some like, you know, in less than five years and he's
- 2:08:03like, so I'll just be like, you know, professional gold medal
- 2:08:06cock sucker. So anyways, we call him and our
- 2:08:11bit is send our friend Chris 5 bucks on cash app.
- 2:08:14He did not like that. And instead of you know, just
- 2:08:18getting hung up on, he would stay on the phone with us for 30
- 2:08:21minutes at a time. We got on the phone multiple
- 2:08:23times with him upwards of 10 and it did get so bad that he
- 2:08:27started doxing us. So our friends Vlade and Ilya,
- 2:08:33they would all, you know it, it would kind of be a changing of
- 2:08:36hands of who's on the phone with him.
- 2:08:39And it was them this time, fighting back and.
- 2:08:43Forth says he. Calls their dad's house, leaves
- 2:08:46a voicemail, whole thing. Our whole goal was to either get
- 2:08:505 bucks or a cease and desist and I got one of those.
- 2:08:54You got a cease and desist Where and you?
- 2:08:56Have it in writing. Is there an e-mail?
- 2:08:57Framed. Framed.
- 2:09:00That was the. Goal I lived.
- 2:09:01With like 8. Other guys, you were his.
- 2:09:02Put a girl on what? What year was this?
- 2:09:05162016 you. Have to talk about.
- 2:09:09Wait, what was that I? Said you were his, Put a girl
- 2:09:11on. I don't know what that is.
- 2:09:12This guy have pranks. Calls places and.
- 2:09:14Just says put a girl on. Oh yeah, I know they're.
- 2:09:17Going in Ohio, his name is Taylor.
- 2:09:19Don't. Fuck with him, but those videos
- 2:09:20are funny. Apparently he's going to prison
- 2:09:22that. Reads he's I don't know anything
- 2:09:24about. That.
- 2:09:25So now he's. I seen a video.
- 2:09:27I don't follow him too much closely, but apparently he
- 2:09:29posted a video being like nice walk back.
- 2:09:31Yeah, textbook walk back. Awesome stuff.
- 2:09:34It's. Hit you fucking all the back.
- 2:09:35That's right there. Now it's real good.
- 2:09:37I could learn from you what is happening.
- 2:09:40OK, OK, fuck. All three are so convincing.
- 2:09:45So we can start at the beginning with the.
- 2:09:46Scabies, I feel like. I feel like I could, I can do
- 2:09:50it. There's there's so many names
- 2:09:52and there's so many names and places involved in the second
- 2:09:57two that I feel like. Those are true.
- 2:10:01And then I feel like perhaps you got scabies once on a tour and
- 2:10:05you've created a lie that you got it twice on the tour.
- 2:10:08That's my final answer. It's true.
- 2:10:11That one's true. That one's true.
- 2:10:13So there is there a lie or you give me 3 truths?
- 2:10:17It's got to be Shkreli, Shkreli. Shkreli is a lie.
- 2:10:20Shkreli is a lie. OK, I got.
- 2:10:21Nothing. You got nothing.
- 2:10:23But you weren't trying. But we.
- 2:10:24Were that all that other? Stuff like him doxing and all
- 2:10:27that that happened but you want you're doxing.
- 2:10:30The doxing happened. He phoned, yeah, he phoned our
- 2:10:33friend's. Parents that he left a
- 2:10:36voicemail, he said, hey, your son fucking Elijah, because it's
- 2:10:42spelled that way, but it's Ilya. Like your son's being a real
- 2:10:47fucking piece of shit and he needs to get a fucking job and
- 2:10:50probably try and be someone like Martin Shkreli who is successful
- 2:10:54and strong. Was that his lawyer?
- 2:10:55Was that him him. Was that a voicemail?
- 2:10:58Well, he. Talked like he was, you know?
- 2:11:00Coked out of his mind? Was that a voicemail or a call?
- 2:11:03That was a. Voicemail that he left.
- 2:11:04On their landline, that on the fucking record.
- 2:11:07That's so sick. Yeah, You fucking steal that.
- 2:11:11That makes the other one true as well.
- 2:11:13That happened. Yeah.
- 2:11:14I felt like that one was true. Yeah, that one happened.
- 2:11:16You know how many? Details the.
- 2:11:17The there's so many. Details.
- 2:11:19But then sometimes people do that and then they say, well,
- 2:11:21actually it happened to my friend, so it's not actually a
- 2:11:23lie. The my the the Shkreli 1 was
- 2:11:27reminded me. Of.
- 2:11:29Jesse Barnett from Sticks Your Guns actually got a cease and
- 2:11:34desist from the Sackler family for for the very similar thing
- 2:11:39because he made a shirt. The Sackler family being the
- 2:11:41family that is responsible for a lot 10s of.
- 2:11:46Thousands of. Deaths and the oxy crisis and
- 2:11:49all of that. Jesse Barnett did a T-shirt that
- 2:11:52says Springer doesn't know. They just said kill the Sackler
- 2:11:55family and that's it. And it had photos of them on it.
- 2:11:59And he got a real big cease and desist there.
- 2:12:01And then he redid. It and then he redid it and
- 2:12:04said. Smallest.
- 2:12:06Possible. Don't.
- 2:12:08Said in Minecraft. In Minecraft.
