1:31
episode. I'm not drinking for anything by
1:35
myself, so you don't have to worry about that.
1:39
I am actually recording from home and recording from my music
1:50
production audio production. Computer hear the song that
1:54
you're hearing in the back right now.
1:56
I figured I would start. Off with just going through some
1:59
of the songs that I've been kind of working on.
2:05
Maybe show you guys that you guys hear something, some
2:08
previews of some stuff I've been working on while we get caught
2:12
up. So this one here is a song
2:19
started working on it back in March of 2022, it looks like the
2:28
filename of had for is called Cordon Bleu for.
2:31
You probably won't be the final name of the song.
2:37
Yeah, it's a real mellow. Chill out song trying to hit
2:42
some feels a lot of these that we're going to listen to today
2:49
or be kind of a lot of raw sketches.
2:56
I like to relate the music-making to kind of like an
3:02
artist like our dear friend. Don you know, he has a
3:04
Sketchbook that he draws in and practices in that a lot of
3:08
people don't see you know people only see The finished product,
3:16
most of the time. And A lot of times, I don't get
3:20
to see what kind of went into that.
3:23
So, I'm going to go ahead and load up another song here.
3:29
Anyways, what have you guys been up to?
3:31
I have not been up to a whole heck of a lot.
3:37
Just taking a little break from everything we missed.
3:43
Last week's episode release. Because her family Fanny, but I
3:52
am Ali had a little family, emergency.
3:55
She had to tend to, so we had to reschedule the recording, which
4:00
would have resulted in last week's episode and we've got
4:03
that scheduled on the books ready to go for a future
4:08
episode. Speaking of more episodes.
4:16
I think that we have at least one or two.
4:24
More folks, scheduled to come onto the show.
4:28
And I don't know if we're going to take a summer break or not.
4:35
I personally with the getting warm.
4:38
Now we're in the late spring. You're going to hear this.
4:43
I'm recording this on Wednesday. You'll hear this tomorrow.
4:49
Thursday, the 24th 25th. So going into Memorial Day
4:56
Weekend, happy Memorial Day to all of our listeners.
5:02
I hope you guys take advantage of the extra day off and do what
5:07
you want. I usually just relax for the
5:12
most part. I know there's going to be a lot
5:15
of events going on Asian Night Market.
5:20
We were pushing that on the on the page if you didn't see that.
5:24
So go down and check them out, they'll be at the baseball
5:26
stadium. I think if you don't already
5:28
have a ticket, you can still get one online up until Friday
5:34
before. So the 26, I think there are
5:37
seven bucks. On there.
5:40
And if you wait till day of on the 27th and just roll up to the
5:44
stadium, it's going to be 10 bucks at the door for the cover
5:47
charge. There looks like a lot of good
5:49
vendors will be there. If you went last year, they
5:53
moved it to the baseball stadium because of how many people
5:57
actually showed up last year at the NASCAR Park, I actually went
6:01
last year and Then didn't get the cop anything because the
6:06
lines were pretty, pretty ridiculous.
6:09
So yeah, they do have tickets for sale for this one.
6:12
It's at the baseball stadium. You can also actually, I don't
6:15
know if they might have sold out already or if they're getting
6:18
close. But they do have VIP tickets
6:20
that are for sale and let you in an hour early before.
6:25
Everybody else just like a real VIP, you can see how I feel
6:30
rolling up to shows. You know I'm saying?
6:37
So I'm going to pick out another song here to let you guys here.
6:47
as far as the rest of the crew, So we've been pretty busy trying
6:53
to handle some things in our personal Lives fan.
6:58
He's been real busy with work and stuff.
7:00
I have been busy hanging out in my hole and let's see, play this
7:09
one. Let's see what?
7:09
This one sounds. Like I started making this.
7:12
That the beginning of the year, January 23, it's called Make a
7:17
Deal. any feedback you guys want to give to me on these Will be
7:30
fun, I think. Shoot us an email.
7:34
I here's to you plot at gmail.com.

7:43
phone number now. So leave me a voicemail or shoot
7:46
a text over that number is three one six seven one, two four,
7:53
nine one two, that's three 1671. 2491 to shoot us a message.
8:01
Leave us voicemail Cool enough. Maybe throw it in here and hit
8:07
yourself in the pod. I think this one kind of working
8:24
on a new this year. Figure out some baseline.
8:45
Nothing down there. Yep.
8:52
Think that one? Be one of my future house
8:56
bangers. Depending on what I end up
9:02
writing too. Make that into a song.
9:07
I think I would like where it's at right now.
9:09
I think I would go ahead and try to release it at some point. so
9:19
yeah, just been hanging out in my whole kind of working on
9:22
stuff like this and watching some playoff basketball, I
9:27
didn't really want to get into Anything to boring today to
9:31
catch you guys up but I mean it's the NBA Playoffs, man.
9:37
I had my my team is the LA Lakers and we got knocked out in
9:42
four games by the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals
9:48
had we won that series. Then you know whenever that
9:51
series goes on to for the main NBA league championship around
9:58
and my guys were were closed. No one.
10:02
No one thought we would make it and there we were in the final
10:05
four of the whole NBA. Hate on LeBron.
10:09
Do you want? It's good player Mark's team.
10:13
The Boston Celtics were in the same boat last night but they
10:16
managed to get a win so they live to fight another day.
10:22
That day will be. Today if you're listening to
10:25
this Thursday catch the game will be on tonight at like 7:30
10:30
central time. So, it's called to you.
10:47
Starting, April 29th of 2023. And I wonder I think so.
10:53
I I think this is the file, but I was thinking about coming up
11:02
with a theme song for this year podcast.
11:08
So, I'm trying to produce. Something,
11:39
I don't know if this could be her theme song about.
11:48
This part that I just turned on your hair.
11:50
Now, when I make stuff, just like this, I'm getting kind of
12:02
loud on my little beat machine here.
12:28
Yo. All right, opening up another
12:52
song here. Sorry guys.
12:57
I typically named my files, something.
13:01
When you will start a new thing at some instruments?
13:09
No, once we get a good like Luke going and get kind of a good
13:12
feel for a at least me and partners I make music with we'll
13:21
get to a good looping point and then we'll save the file and
13:27
challenge ourselves to come up with some kind of name for it.
13:30
And a lot of once I'm seeing in my recent list, I remember some
13:35
of them, some of them I don't. So I'm going to play this one
13:38
because it's called sound Clash started at the beginning of this
13:42
month May 1st. So got all the instruments on.
13:47
Oh I remember this money. I might look into releasing this
13:51
on suit in Sue but yeah this one just the simple sketched out
13:55
loop. It's called sound Clash.
14:31
So yeah, yeah, I think that probably took me like 20
14:34
minutes. And a sketch that out coming up
14:38
the sketches are pretty quick. I can actually I think what I'm
14:41
going to do is Play One More. And then maybe I'll just go
14:51
through and kind of make something real quick as we catch
14:56
up. Yeah, what do you guys usually
15:01
do for Memorial Day weekend? I mean, I typically don't ever
15:06
have plans like I said, the Asian night markets going on at
15:12
the baseball field this year, one of the other usual things is
15:18
the allowing Year celebration out at the temple out there on a
15:24
East Greenwich, South Greenwich and Yeah, you just hit Kellogg
15:31
and Greenwich and go south, you won't miss it.
15:35
Think this year, they're doing a cover charge, $5, always a lot
15:38
of good food vendors out there. Sometimes I got some cool
15:42
clothing vendors and Some other stuff.
15:47
I don't typically. Shop around too much.
15:52
I usually like to show up. Maybe grab a bite to eat and
15:56
then like to head out, but it's usually a good time.
16:01
So as people out there, having a good time,
16:13
This one's called flow. Let's see what that one sounds
16:16
like I said. This one's in my recent list.
16:19
I'm not remembering remembering. Holly sound.
16:26
This one's not built up too much, but we got a good like 16
16:31
bars here. So let's see.
16:51
Do you remember making this one with my boy fun?
16:57
That's this out and I like an hour.
17:21
We make a lot of chill stuff. Probably because a lot of the
17:25
time that he comes over to make something it's real late at
17:28
night and I don't know why we don't make stuff earlier more
17:35
often. Like this one.
17:41
This next one, some Maybe it's another one me we made.
17:57
Okay, I think that's one that I made real quick before her.
18:02
We were heading out somewhere. I'm just gonna actually open my
18:06
folder here and take a look. See if I can find one of my
18:12
other ones, that would be good to play.
18:20
But yeah, back to the playoffs, my team's out, three teams left
18:27
Denver's in the finals. Waiting on the winner of Miami
18:30
and the Boston Celtics. Miami Heat are up three games to
18:37
one the first team to get four wins.
18:41
Become champion of the Eastern Conference and then move on to
18:44
the finals to face the Denver Nuggets.
18:46
Now out of the three teams that are left, I personally like
18:52
Boston More based off of their to Superstar players.
18:57
I happen to like their Style Of gameplay of how they play
19:06
basketball, each guy can. Dunk again.
19:12
Take it to the hole and they can both.
19:16
They're both pretty good Shooters.
19:19
Hmm. Yeah, I would, I would bet money
19:22
on either of them to sink a good shot.
19:26
I say a good shot on me, just any shot.
19:29
It's got to be a good shot. It's got a It's up to coach to
19:34
draw up, this kind of plays, you know, at the end of the game.
19:38
Something that didn't happen for the Lakers the internet,
19:40
unfortunately. But whatever.
19:44
On to the next season for us. but yeah, one other thing,
19:54
trying to think of anything else podcast wise I can update
19:59
everybody on. Before I get to the last kind of
20:06
segments that I want to do with you guys.
20:11
Oh yes. Listen to this one.
20:14
All right, it'll be a last one that we listen to, and then I'm
20:16
going to open anything and make something from scratch and we'll
20:25
talk about what have in mind for the last segment here.
20:29
This happy hour episode this last beat that we're going to
20:34
listen to is I started on October 19th, 2019.
20:42
II basically have a memory of starting this track.
20:46
I think it was a weeknight, it's kind of late just was randomly
20:53
Making some stuff on here. And yeah, I called it a trap
20:58
machine Myers. So here we go.
21:10
I have some done some work to this recently within the last
21:13
couple months. Yeah.
22:09
Now I know you're probably thinking.
22:11
Wow, that's see. You started that in 2019.
22:14
And that's all you got. Yeah, you know I have like
22:19
Probably more than 100 unfinished things in here.
22:26
Say something. It's really like to get in here
22:29
and do some sketching. Let's see, find something.
22:37
Let's get some dramas going here.
22:42
Just because drums. Okay, let's Kind of Love That.
23:08
Let's do that. I'm going through a bunch of
23:46
leaves here just so that we can have something to get started
23:50
with and sometimes the names on these things are pretty funny.
24:09
These two Heroes that we just listen to called Hallelujah.
24:35
Sometimes I have trouble with finding what I really want to
24:38
start with. See all that in here.
25:33
Boring, dude. Get on with the last segment
25:36
because we do not have all day. Well then shut the shit off.
25:50
I don't know why it's not playing now.
25:54
Find something. There we go.
26:02
Think I can do that one. Look for something that we can
28:08
kind of rock along with hear that sound goes.
29:37
Change some things up here, and some kicks. let me keep you guys
29:49
all day, but since you're still here, About 29 minutes.
29:56
Let's see. So top Loop their kicks going
31:13
quick sketch already. This could be the theme song for
31:19
the podcast. Imagine hearing, Fanny's was
31:23
coming. Here's to You blockhead.
31:30
Maybe I'm not a real musician by any
31:46
means. So it will take me a little bit
31:52
longer to listen to that flute. Going from you to figure out.
31:59
What notes it's going on as soon as I could do, all up some like
32:02
cords and stuff like that. Yeah, that's that's one way.
32:09
I like to kind of get started on something here.
32:13
So I am gonna Save that real quick.
32:19
The name it quick pods. And then usually in a session
32:27
like the trying to make like three things.
32:30
So this time around, we're gonna shop for a sound and I'm going
32:37
to make some decided, I'm going to make some chords from scratch
32:42
because I like doing that. That sound up real quick here.
33:12
And See if maybe I can come up with something.
34:02
See about this G minor here. Let's see about a major.
35:15
I'm going to go into one more other bank here.
35:20
See, now, as I do this, I'm going to go ahead and get
35:24
started on the last segment that I love topic that I wanted to
35:29
talk about today. I don't know if it's the news
35:39
choices of mine in my algorithm or whatever, but I Happened to
35:50
see a lot of. Like UFO type stuff or as
35:56
they're known nowadays. UAP.
36:00
And today actually we kind of went down a little rabbit hole
36:07
about owls. Now, I'm really curious on
36:18
everyone's opinion on owls. And you know kind of what are
36:28
you guys? What do you guys think of owls?
36:30
Cuz Change something to go back to
36:46
some minor chords here since we're talking about owls.
37:04
now I know you guys can hear me
37:25
punching my pads here but that's That's how all of those are.
37:34
Yeah, owls. So they show up a lot when there
37:40
happens to be you AP in the air. and a lot of the I don't do you
38:01
call them eyewitnesses or experiencers of UAP has Or any
38:18
time like a UAP event is happening, like an owl howls
38:22
will just be there. Apparently, a lot of the folks
38:28
that have experienced that Contact or getting like
38:34
abducted. We remember seeing like an owl.
38:46
Now, I have done a little bit of reading on a holes, and they
38:50
have like, A rich. History.
39:01
There's a lot of lore. With owls, what happened to him?
39:06
I said, Holmes, where did they go?
39:11
That's why I got okay. yes, a lot of lore with owls, it seems
39:20
like a lot of what do you call it?
39:28
A lot of, like, civilizations in the past, I have a lot of
39:33
there's been many myths, about owls from like the beginning of
39:37
time and some of the things that I've read about them and have
39:42
heard. you know, when you see an owl, It's not always good news.
39:51
That's that's going to happen and I'm curious if anybody else
39:55
out there has experienced with that because I'm going to tell
39:58
you two stories One that kind of happened to me personally and
40:06
another one having to a friend. And so, I will start off with my
40:20
story. So this happened maybe a year or
40:37
two ago sitting in the backyard. John, which tiles the Friday
40:48
night? I had a to go back and look at
40:53
some text messages. Just to be sure.
40:58
This is a really good sounds called magical moment.
41:03
And my friend and I were just kind of hanging out at the house
41:08
and then we decided to go out to the backyard and you know, kind
41:14
of light up with Jay. and the really weird thing was, is it
41:21
was a nice evening, you know, this Maybe I'll remember, it
41:27
feels like fall or spring or summer but you know it was as
41:30
warm. Seem to be a clear night, it's a
41:36
good night to hang out in your backyard and light up a spliff,
41:39
you know. So, on our way, out to the
41:42
backyard, I think we may be talking about like, UFOs and
41:46
stuff. So we're sitting out there in
41:49
the backyard and smoking. Passing it back and forth and
42:01
we're looking up at the sky. Checking out the Stars.
42:07
I live far enough on the outskirts of Wichita that you
42:12
know, it's not too much light pollution, you know.
42:19
I can see more stars out here than we would be able to see if
42:23
like, you know, We're downtown. I don't like this.
43:10
So yeah, we're looking up at the sky, checking out the Stars, you
43:15
know, maybe hoping we could catch a UFO up there, right?
43:23
I don't have any of the, I don't have the porch light turned on
43:27
in the back. and, I had left my phone inside but also it's me my
43:37
friend and then my dog something to go out to the back and take
43:41
the dog to us through your back. There lights off checking out
43:47
the sky dogs, doing what the dog is doing, you know, sniffing
43:51
around the yard I left my phone inside he had his phone, we're
43:56
looking up at the sky and then all of a sudden he's like, hey
44:00
I'm sitting to his left, he's kind of looking to his left,
44:05
kind of a cross me cross the Yarns like hey what is that on?
44:09
Your Gutter on the roof on your house Gotti.
44:16
I wasn't really talking like what I didn't know like, because
44:20
the direction he's looking, it looks like he's looking at the
44:22
ground but he's looking up at the roof.
44:25
The gutter, I had a flashlight on me to kind of keep an eye on
44:29
the dog because she small backyard is kind of dark like to
44:33
see where she's at. You know, make sure she's cool.
44:37
I Shine the Light kind of over to the direction, he's looking
44:40
like, he's like no, go up, I go up and then there was an owl
44:45
sitting there on the roof of the house.
44:52
And I was like, whoa. Is that an owl?
44:59
It's like, that's the only thing, it could be.
45:01
It looks like an owl, how's it? Get your phone out and take a
45:06
picture of it. I'll keep, I had my flashlight
45:08
shined right on this owl. And he snapped a few pictures of
45:13
it. And It wasn't looking at us.
45:18
At first, until we're kind of trying to get closer to take a
45:23
picture of it. but, Yeah, I was just sitting there top of the
45:34
top of the house on top of the gutter.
45:38
Hanging out chilling like like you think owls do like in the
45:42
trees, you know? Like Before I made the link of
45:47
like owls and UFOs and aliens, I always thought owls worst, like
45:54
nocturnal creatures that hung out in trees.
45:59
All day and then once the evening starts hitting some kind
46:03
of starts going on and you can sometimes you can hear them, you
46:05
know, who in the distance? You know, you know he's here
46:08
than you never tell where they are though because I figure
46:11
they're always in hanging out and trees, right?
46:16
So yeah you snap a few pictures of it and I was like well that's
46:20
kind of crazy. And then I think we looked away.
46:26
He took the light off of it, find the dog because I was like,
46:32
yo, I don't know how big that, how really is it kind of look
46:36
kind of small but like, you know, maybe that's because you
46:40
had his wings in. I was like, let me find the dog
46:44
because my dog is kind of small. I don't want the owl to think,
46:48
like, you just kidnap my dog and take it easy, you know.
46:54

an owl. So, let me find This here.
51:55
And Okay. So so, my friend was With a
52:02
friend of theirs out somewhere in, you know, somewhere in
52:08
Kansas small town, lots of farms.
52:11
He was out at a farm. He saw an owl that flew onto a
52:15
tree branch and was mean mugging him. and, Then as he thought
52:30
more about it, he was like, you know what?
52:31
After we saw that owl, There's like no good news after that out
52:38
there at the Forum. Some jobs were lost, folks.
52:45
Got sick. Some folks just left.
53:00
Later. After he had seen that owl, I
53:03
guess. One of the dogs on the farm.
53:12
That had. Went up to the bedroom where my
53:19
friend was staying. Jump on the bed hung out with
53:23
him. My friend left the bedroom for a
53:29
few minutes. Came back and the dog had.
53:39
Died. I said the dog was Old, but
53:46
didn't seem like he's ready to go.
53:49
Still walking responsive, wasn't losing his bladder everywhere,
53:53
anything. Yeah, he says.
54:06
Dang it up, bearing, the dog. And then he decided to get the
54:09
heck out of there and ended up having to drive in one of the
54:13
worst storms. He's ever experienced driving on
