PODCAST: Episode 769 - Gus Rios (Cold Slither) Talks About Their G.I. Joe-Inspired Metal Debut · Ghost Cult Magazine Podcast

• 0:00
  I wanted to write a record that people are going to want to
• 0:02
  listen to again. I think that's really, if I
• 0:06
  could articulate it as clearly as possible, it's that I wanted
• 0:09
  to make a record that you may come across and be like, oh, let
• 0:12
  me check that out. And then upon listening to it,
• 0:16
  think, damn, this is actually pretty cool stuff.
• 0:18
  I would like to listen to this again.
• 0:20
  That's my goal. What's up everybody?
• 0:29
  It's Keithy guscoltmag.com. I got puns.
• 0:32
  Midweek puns for Gus Rios. You know his work best.
• 0:36
  From Gruesome and Left to Die and Now Cold Slither.
• 0:40
  How you doing, Bell? A man of many hats, I guess.
• 0:43
  A man of many hats, guitar, drums, producing, writing, All
• 0:47
  the things. All the things.
• 0:50
  I mean, you know, that's, that's what you got to do these days to
• 0:53
  stay afloat. Ain't that something?
• 0:56
  The whole world has changed. It's not even just the music
• 0:58
  business. Or, as I was joking, the music
• 1:00
  business becomes the music industry, but it's not the music
• 1:04
  friendship luck lucky if you can get through, but we're here to
• 1:08
  take today to talk about cold Slither.
• 1:10
  You have a whole bunch of stuff come doing this summer, but cold
• 1:12
  Slither is amazing. Shout out to raining Phoenix
• 1:15
  music for organizing this with you and the guys.
• 1:18
  I mean, it's a who's who players is an incredible subject.
• 1:22
  IPI know I don't want to sound so clinical and say content or
• 1:25
  IP but GI Joe and Hasbro. Is my.
• 1:29
  Childhood, man, it's our childhoods, right?
• 1:32
  So Cold Slither is based on GI Joe and let me just have you
• 1:36
  tell us how this project came to because I'm so stoked for people
• 1:40
  to know. So many, many, many moons ago, I
• 1:44
  played in a band called Malevolent Creation.
• 1:46
  And at the time we were assigned to Nuclear Blast and Gerardo
• 1:51
  Martinez, now head of Rainy Phoenix, was a label manager at
• 1:57
  Nuclear Blast. And the first day I met him in
• 2:01
  person, I guess, you know, malevolent Malevolent was
• 2:05
  probably playing Los Angeles. He came out to the show and he
• 2:09
  had AGI Joe shirt on. And then obviously we had a
• 2:12
  conversation and you know, we're we both turn out to be these big
• 2:15
  giant GI Joe fans, you know, and so him and I had this friendship
• 2:19
  outside of the work relationship.
• 2:22
  And, you know, years later he starts raining Phoenix.
• 2:25
  But even before that, like 10 years ago, he had this idea, you
• 2:30
  know, label guy. He made a contact at Hasbro and
• 2:35
  you know, kind of had this. He had the idea of like make
• 2:39
  let's make a real cold slither record.
• 2:40
  And but at the time, unfortunately, Hasbro just sort
• 2:45
  of dropped GI Joe or put it on hiatus or whatever.
• 2:51
  And now all these years later, the success of the Classified
• 2:56
  series, which I have spent a lot of money on, you know, they're
• 3:03
  really nailing the figures. So they're, you know, thankfully
• 3:05
  they're selling really well. GI Joe was like kind of top of
• 3:09
  the heap of, you know, it's like pop culture, you know, at least,
• 3:13
  you know, it seems like their toys are selling as well as like
• 3:15
  anything, you know, Transformers, which is usually
• 3:19
  like the bigwig. And so apparently behind the
• 3:22
  scenes, you know, at some point Gerardo was in contact with him
• 3:27
  again. And the, you know, the the idea
• 3:30
  was to do a cold slither box set of classified series figures.
• 3:35
  And I would imagine at that point, of course, Gerardo, you
• 3:37
  know, I was like, hey, I have this crazy idea.
• 3:40
  And, you know, I think he made it really attractive to Hasbro
• 3:44
  because he was like, listen, I am a record company.
• 3:47
  I will get the music made. I will manufacture the music.
• 3:51
  You know, all you guys literally have to do is just basically sit
• 3:53
  back and collect checks and let us have fun with us.
• 3:56
  And you know, and I think that's it.
• 3:58
  You know, Gerardo's a legitimate GI Joe fan.
• 4:01
  He reached out to me because he knows that I'm a legitimate GI
• 4:05
  Joe fan. And also I could write and
• 4:09
  record all the music just by myself.
• 4:11
  Like, you know, which kind of when you're dealing with Hasbro,
• 4:16
  they they have to vet everybody involved.
• 4:19
  So to just keep it till one person at first was just
• 4:22
  attractive. So, you know, I was like the one
• 4:25
  stop shop and I, you know, I got it all done.
• 4:28
  That's so amazing and and shout out to Gerardo, who was really,
• 4:32
  you know, building a new legend over at reigning Phoenix man,
• 4:35
  Opeth and Meshuga so many other killer bands and I can't believe
• 4:40
  there's gonna be like a Colts liver record and like to hold
• 4:45
  and to hear. I've been lucky enough to hear
• 4:48
  the promo. Shout out to the PR team in
• 4:50
  rainy Phoenix. Do you know C square music and
• 4:53
  Curtis Stewart? But yeah, man, like I'm such AGI
• 4:57
  Joe nerd from when my my first toys were the 11 inch GI Joe
• 5:01
  dolls I inherited from my older brother and the action figures
• 5:05
  of the 80s. And obviously, you know, the
• 5:08
  comic book and then the cartoon series and movies.
• 5:10
  And I do feel like, yeah, toys are huge right now.
• 5:13
  My one of my childhood best friends was a huge toy collector
• 5:16
  well into his adulthood with a whole room of toys.
• 5:20
  You can relate. And you know, it's just insane
• 5:25
  to me, you know, take take us back in time when you know, like
• 5:29
  cold slither. This is so wild.
• 5:31
  You know what? What was your first awareness of
• 5:33
  GI Joe? What were your first GI Joe
• 5:34
  toys? I mean my, you know, I think for
• 5:38
  me the cartoon came first, like many 80s kids, I think.
• 5:43
  And you know, at the time GI Joe came out, it just something
• 5:49
  about it resonated with me. I really just liked the
• 5:52
  characters. I wrote an article for for
• 5:56
  Decibel kind of outlining some of the stuff and my childhood
• 5:59
  wasn't the best. And you know, it's having so
• 6:03
  many characters to really kind of latch onto and, you know,
• 6:08
  kind of identify with and, you know, ultimately look up to and
• 6:13
  you know, that it it played just such a role in my upbringing.
• 6:17
  You know, I kind of say it all the time.
• 6:18
  Like I learned that the, you know, the do's and don'ts from
• 6:21
  like the likes of Duke and Optimus Prime and, and then do
• 6:25
  you know, the toys? I mean, you're not going to get
• 6:29
  better than this dude. I mean, this is just, you know,
• 6:32
  this is an original 1985. God damn, this is 40 years old.
• 6:36
  This toy, this isn't my original.
• 6:39
  Like, I, I started acquiring all this stuff from eBay when eBay
• 6:42
  was the thing. And that's kind of how Gerardo
• 6:45
  and I started really chatting because he, he has all this
• 6:48
  stuff too. And, you know, we both just were
• 6:51
  buying up GI Joes, all kinds of, you know, when the stuff would
• 6:54
  come out. And yeah, I mean, it's just a,
• 6:58
  it's GGI Joe. It means a lot to me.
• 7:02
  GI Joe transformer. I mean, you know, got an
• 7:04
  optimist prime tattoo here. I got the cobra tattoo here.
• 7:07
  Like, you know, and I got these well before I was involved in
• 7:11
  any of this. So you know what, what's the,
• 7:13
  what's the commercial? I'm not only a the CEO, I'm a
• 7:16
  member or whatever. Like I'm in the club, dude.
• 7:19
  We're all in the club, man. So so for the uninitiated, who
• 7:24
  just gonna find this randomly in the music media, in the heavy
• 7:28
  music media, light goes called Colts.
• 7:30
  Litter is a band founded by Cobra to, you know, infiltrate
• 7:35
  the youth of America, led by Zartan, the master of disguise
• 7:39
  and and and a pretty unhinged character based on his dossier
• 7:43
  and and his henchman the Dreadnoks, who are, you know,
• 7:47
  basically if Lynyrd Skynyrd never played music and killed
• 7:50
  people, that would be the Dreadnoks except inefficiently
• 7:53
  kill people. Is that a?
• 7:56
  Fair assessment. Yeah, they weren't particularly
• 7:58
  good at it. They were bad at it's like Storm
• 8:00
  for brain. They were particularly bad at it
• 8:02
  actually bungling. You could say bungling idiots,
• 8:05
  but Zartan at least was a strategist.
• 8:07
  He was out of control, but he had like a mind for crime.
• 8:10
  Not the, you know, the other guys are criminally, you know,
• 8:13
  inspired but maybe not good at crime.
• 8:16
  Get better at crime. You guys give GI Joe a a hard
• 8:19
  workout. So this music is the band called
• 8:22
  Slither making basically thrash and heavy metal, which is
• 8:26
  wonderful with a little bit of cock rock in there.
• 8:28
  And you get to sing and play guitar and be the front man of
• 8:32
  this as Zarkan, which is insane. It's insane that we're having
• 8:35
  this conversation. Therapy's not till tomorrow.
• 8:39
  She said, I mean, it's, you know, I mean, it's just the fact
• 8:43
  that, you know, there, there was a live stream, whatever, when
• 8:48
  that, when the song called Slither was going to 1st be
• 8:50
  released and a Hasbro official live stream that I've, you know,
• 8:55
  I'm sitting on my couch watching in real time and they, they play
• 8:58
  like a little snippet of the song, you know, and, and I got
• 9:02
  emotional because like I'm hearing my voice and, you know,
• 9:08
  my guitar and drums and all the stuff on an official Hasbro
• 9:12
  thing. And this record is going to be
• 9:15
  sold officially through Hasbro and RPM.
• 9:18
  Just the fact that something I made has going to have that
• 9:23
  Hasbro logo on it. I mean, it's, it's, you know,
• 9:27
  you know, the, the, the, the 8 year old kid watching that
• 9:30
  cartoon wouldn't, would not believe it, you know, he would
• 9:33
  just, it would just seem unreal. So I'm, I'm just really
• 9:36
  grateful. The marketing nerd in me is very
• 9:39
  jealous also because to work with Hasbro must be amazing.
• 9:42
  And they really were partners in this, right?
• 9:44
  Like not only it's not just their logo and IP they're
• 9:47
  allowing to do this, which is amazing.
• 9:50
  It's also like there there are samples on the record.
• 9:53
  I want spoil it because you know, a couple singles will be
• 9:55
  out by the time this runs in time for San Diego Comic Con at
• 9:59
  the end of July. But man, like it must have been
• 10:03
  wild to have them help and, and you know, they, they allowed you
• 10:06
  guys to have the samples and all this other stuff like it's wild
• 10:09
  to me. Yeah, I mean, I had to, you
• 10:11
  know, you have to work around the parameters.
• 10:13
  Like, you know, it's it, they're big giant corporation.
• 10:17
  But they really weren't, you know, they weren't Big Brother
• 10:20
  about it so much. I had to.
• 10:22
  I had to write all the song titles that I thought of and
• 10:26
  submit those for approval. They sent them back, approved,
• 10:29
  you know, all of them, and then have some ideas of their own.
• 10:32
  And then I wrote lyrics based on the song title, submitted all
• 10:36
  the lyrics to make sure they're cool.
• 10:37
  And you know, the thing about the lyrics, you know, I felt
• 10:42
  like I wanted to straddle this line of, you know, it's got to
• 10:46
  be based about GI Joe and the Dreadnocks and the the, the the
• 10:50
  Canon involved in that. But I didn't want it to be
• 10:53
  stupid either. I don't want it to just be like,
• 10:55
  you know, Cobra is awesome and GI Joe socks.
• 10:59
  Like I wanted to, I wanted to write kind of like mature adult
• 11:04
  lyrics because I mean, also everybody that's going to
• 11:07
  connect with this is kind of our age.
• 11:10
  So you don't want to hear like, you know, something super, you
• 11:14
  know, you're not going to it's it.
• 11:15
  You're going to be like, OK, well, this is cool.
• 11:17
  It's a cult to the record, but I'm never going to listen to
• 11:19
  this again. I wanted to write a record that
• 11:21
  people are going to want to listen to again.
• 11:24
  I think that's really, if I could articulated as clearly as
• 11:27
  possible, it's that I wanted to make a record that you may come
• 11:32
  across and be like, oh, let me check that out.
• 11:34
  And then upon listening to it, think, damn, this is actually
• 11:37
  pretty cool stuff. I would like to listen to this
• 11:40
  again. That's my goal.
• 11:41
  That's amazing. I think, like I said, most
• 11:44
  people know your more popular work and and you got a brand new
• 11:48
  gruesome album out as we discussed this, which I had a
• 11:51
  long interview with Matt about. But you know, you, this is
• 11:54
  you're no stranger to this world.
• 11:55
  So you are kind of the ideal person to come in and helm this.
• 11:58
  You know that I'm a huge fan of the original Liquid Death
• 12:01
  greatest hates record, which you did and was phenomenal, But I
• 12:04
  think it's very over. It was overlooked because of
• 12:06
  everything that year. You know, we were affiliate,
• 12:09
  early affiliates of Liquid Death.
• 12:11
  So much appreciation over here for how they do their branding.
• 12:14
  They're selling cans of Ozzie Sipped Liquid Death for $500.
• 12:19
  I mean they are. We are in the.
• 12:20
  Wrong business. Marketing geniuses, man.
• 12:23
  Glasco, man, that Blasco is a genius.
• 12:25
  That's right. That's part of that, yeah, but
• 12:28
  amazing it. But so like I think that did
• 12:30
  that experience pay off, you know, in a new.
• 12:33
  I think I think it, you know, it was a huge part of it to be
• 12:38
  honest, because I think when hat when Gerardo approached Hasbro,
• 12:42
  you know that anybody, again, anybody involved with this had
• 12:45
  to be vetted. So the fact that I had already
• 12:47
  made an problem for another large corporation really kind of
• 12:50
  fared well for me because they're like, OK, well, this guy
• 12:53
  clearly is a professional. You know, I don't know what
• 12:57
  corporations think about musicians, but, you know, maybe
• 12:59
  they're worried I'm just going to take their money and like run
• 13:01
  or whatever. You know, I'm just Lynn,
• 13:05
  luckily, you know, and I even got the liquid death thing
• 13:07
  through Gerardo. Gerardo doesn't want to hook me
• 13:09
  up with that whole thing. So, you know, I, I, I sort of, I
• 13:13
  guess was this guy that was looked at as I'm efficient,
• 13:17
  professional and punctual. So like, hey, we need this done
• 13:20
  by this day, you know, and I'll get it done and you know, it'll
• 13:25
  be quality work because I mean, that's the one thing I'll I'll
• 13:27
  say is the ones running line of everything I've ever done.
• 13:31
  I won't do it if it's bullshit, you know what I mean?
• 13:34
  Like it's got to be honest and it's got to come from a real
• 13:36
  place. And you know, even those liquid
• 13:38
  Death songs, I thought two were killer fun songs and I really
• 13:42
  worked on fitting their, you know, their hate mail in a
• 13:45
  creative way into the songs. Like I didn't just oh, I don't
• 13:49
  care. Like I I guess I care about
• 13:51
  everything I do. And obviously then you take
• 13:54
  something like GI Joe, which means the world to me beyond
• 13:58
  this. And it's just this like, you
• 14:00
  know, it's like kind of the gruesome thing, you know, you,
• 14:02
  you, you, you have this thing, these death records that shape
• 14:06
  your life and they mean the world to you, man.
• 14:08
  You're going to handle it with a lot of care and sincerity.
• 14:11
  And that's just how I approach this, you know, I guess that's
• 14:14
  how I approach everything. But it's interesting.
• 14:16
  The last couple of things that I did have fared this, this huge
• 14:19
  weight that I had this like, Oh my God, I can't screw this up.
• 14:23
  I can't screw this up. That's a good, you know, that's
• 14:26
  a good feeling to be respected and regarded.
• 14:29
  But obviously I understand the personal pressure you might put
• 14:31
  on yourself. You did great, by the way.
• 14:34
  Great job. So, yeah, man, Colts with the
• 14:37
  record, I know you know, again, Matt and the toymaster himself,
• 14:42
  Doctor Ross Sewage very well personally.
• 14:45
  But Andy is a new factor here. I think he's one of the more
• 14:48
  underappreciated drummers. As a drummer.
• 14:50
  You can, I'm sure you can back me on that.
• 14:52
  One of the more underrated drummers in the world of our
• 14:55
  music. What's it like?
• 14:56
  What was it like? You know, you guys connected I
• 14:58
  think a while back. And then, you know, Andy was
• 15:01
  clearly. He's a great drummer.
• 15:05
  He's, you know, World Travel, decades of touring experience,
• 15:11
  you know, so he had all, he checked off a lot of boxes.
• 15:15
  The guy's one of my better friends here locally since we
• 15:18
  live near each other. We agree on so many things.
• 15:23
  But to be completely honest, he literally is a dreadnock.
• 15:27
  I mean, you know, he's from London, England.
• 15:30
  Sounds just like a dreadnock. He's got a Mohawk.
• 15:33
  So as soon as I saw the toy, I was like, Oh my God, dude, come
• 15:37
  on. I sent him a picture of the toy
• 15:38
  and he was just like, well, I guess I don't really have to do
• 15:41
  much, huh? So like, he's just a legit
• 15:45
  dreadnought, you know, And he's a great drummer, super easy to
• 15:48
  get along with. And, you know, and I know Matt
• 15:51
  married to a British chick. So you know, it's a little he,
• 15:54
  he's all he. You know, he know, he knows the
• 15:55
  vibe. Right.
• 15:58
  He knows all the the the steps. He knows what to do.
• 16:01
  Yeah, well, it's funny because we always bust each other's
• 16:03
  balls about like England versus America.
• 16:06
  And it's like, you know, he'll be like, well, you know, we got
• 16:08
  Judas Priest and Black Sabbath and Pesh mode and Duran Duran
• 16:12
  and all. And I'm like, well, we got
• 16:13
  metallic and Slayer and the King.
• 16:15
  He's like, but we have The Beatles and I'm like, shit.
• 16:19
  Well, I mean, you know, Brian Wilson just passed away.
• 16:22
  There was a period of time, not the whole time.
• 16:24
  But there's a period of time. Where Beatles and Beach Boys
• 16:26
  were neck and neck. Highly recommend.
• 16:29
  Go see that Hulu documentary and get an appreciation for The
• 16:33
  Beach Boys and how their dads screwed them out of 1,000,000.
• 16:37
  Sorry, can't help my cynicism sometimes, but yeah man.
• 16:41
  And then the musically, right? Aside from obviously just having
• 16:44
  your mate in the band that he's amazing on drums, obviously you
• 16:48
  got to do these amazing guitar, this amazing guitar work with
• 16:51
  Matt, right? These amazing songs.
• 16:54
  You know, again, I love how heavy it is and how fun it is
• 16:57
  because I think we need some fun stuff right now.
• 16:59
  Not just that Colt Slither is fun inherently, but just like we
• 17:02
  need fun rock and metal right now.
• 17:05
  So the world is on fire. Hey, man, you know, I think
• 17:10
  yeah, you know, and I found it's just again, it's, it's very
• 17:13
  interesting how sort of there's there's a lot of similarities
• 17:15
  between this and gruesome. Like, you know, at the end of
• 17:17
  the day, what Gruesome does is create music to just enjoy,
• 17:23
  relive something, feel something that you haven't felt in a while
• 17:27
  and, you know, and not get all punched up and whether we should
• 17:32
  or shouldn't be doing this. And I think there's going to be
• 17:34
  a lot of that, what's called Slither, there's going to be
• 17:36
  people like, no, you know, the original was better and we
• 17:39
  should never have made an album. What's just, you know, fair
• 17:41
  enough. Everybody's entitled to their
• 17:43
  opinion, but I would invite everyone to just enjoy it for
• 17:46
  what it is, man. Like if you listen to these
• 17:49
  records and you have fun with it and you're just like, man, these
• 17:53
  are cool tunes. Like, that's it.
• 17:55
  It doesn't really need to go much further than that.
• 17:57
  These are just cool tunes. And, you know, I think we as
• 18:01
  people right now, everybody's sworn edge all the time.
• 18:05
  Yeah, man, everybody could just sort of like take it down a
• 18:08
  couple notches and just like, enjoy music.
• 18:11
  Well said. I'm going to record that.
• 18:14
  It's already being recorded. I'm going to re record that and
• 18:16
  play it on a loop for people so we can get them in the fold.
• 18:20
  Yeah, amazing record. You know, some absolute bangers
• 18:23
  and fun stuff on guitar. I know you guys did the Harmony
• 18:27
  solos together. Yeah.
• 18:30
  And and Matt gets to just kind of fly also, which is amazing.
• 18:33
  Yeah, it's good. I I imagine it's going to be fun
• 18:36
  for him. I even kind of mentioned it to
• 18:38
  him, Like, you're going to just be a guitar player, you know
• 18:40
  what I mean? Like, he doesn't have to front
• 18:41
  the band. He can just play guitar and have
• 18:44
  fun. And, you know, he sent us a
• 18:46
  picture the other day, his beard's growing in, and that was
• 18:49
  like, oh, look at that. Almost 50 years old and you're
• 18:52
  just now becoming a man. Yeah.
• 18:55
  So everyone's, everybody's having fun with it.
• 18:58
  And I, you know, and I think that at the end of the day, you
• 19:02
  know, I got to have this stuff out.
• 19:04
  Let me do an interview. Like I got the yellow pants, I
• 19:08
  got the red wig here, you know what I mean?
• 19:11
  Like, it's, it's fun, you know, it's, it's fun.
• 19:16
  But the music was definitely, you know, I took it very
• 19:18
  seriously. You know, Matt helped me write a
• 19:21
  couple of the tunes, but I kind of felt the weight of it all on
• 19:25
  my shoulder. So I was like, can't screw the
• 19:27
  same thing. It's like with cruising, like, I
• 19:29
  can't screw this up. I can't screw this up.
• 19:31
  So, you know, that's at the end of the day.
• 19:33
  I hope people realize that. A yeah, you know, we live in
• 19:37
  real cynical times. People could tend to think, oh,
• 19:40
  this is a corporation. They probably just hired anybody
• 19:43
  to just make this record. And no, man, like everybody
• 19:46
  involved with this, in particular, me and Gerardo,
• 19:48
  dude, this cold slither came out of our genuine love of GI Joe
• 19:52
  and heavy metal. So you know, it's, it's a, it's
• 19:55
  a fun record, but you know, it came from here, man.
• 19:57
  It's honest. Yeah, I can't wait.
• 19:59
  You absolutely did not screw up the gruesome record we already
• 20:02
  had. Kind of a Gus Rios loving Matt
• 20:06
  and I, but yeah, man, you just did a marvelous job.
• 20:09
  You know, in a sentence or two, an amazing idea, wonderful
• 20:13
  tribute to Sean. I know what Sean meant to you.
• 20:16
  He was super nice to me. He was very supportive of us.
• 20:19
  We when he reunited with with Paul, at one point we had done a
• 20:24
  big interview with the band and a feature on them when we had a
• 20:27
  magazine and it was really important to me.
• 20:31
  And just still very sad, you know, Obviously we just had the
• 20:35
  anniversary of Chuck pass by again.
• 20:37
  But yeah, specifically, yeah. Sean, what what a loss to the
• 20:40
  world. And you did an absolute banger
• 20:42
  job on that record. I hope everybody goes in and
• 20:44
  checks out that gruesome record. Thank you.
• 20:46
  Appreciate that. Yeah, man, Sean, I think Sean,
• 20:50
  both Sean's actually Sean Malone also just, you know, a huge
• 20:54
  impact on me and the world of metal.
• 20:57
  So very good there. And you know, glad I got to let
• 21:00
  you know as we wind this down, I want to give you back your time.
• 21:03
  You have so much going on. This is going to drop in time
• 21:06
  for Comic Con, which is going to be absolutely insane.
• 21:09
  Tour is coming, like other things you have in the works.
• 21:12
  Just a pretty busy year, but I feel like that's every time we
• 21:15
  talk. Yeah, I mean, I, you know, I'm,
• 21:18
  I'm just, I, I can't over overstate the the level of
• 21:23
  gratitude I have for the positions that I'm in musically
• 21:26
  right now. Like on one hand, I play songs
• 21:29
  that emulate my favorite band and then I get to play the
• 21:33
  actual songs with some of the original dudes.
• 21:36
  So it's like, you know, 14 year old means living a dream and
• 21:40
  then the 8 year old means living out this new dream that I didn't
• 21:43
  think was a thing. So, you know, I'm just in this,
• 21:46
  you know, a position of deep gratitude and appreciation and,
• 21:50
  and, you know, sincere reverence and in humility, man, I'm just
• 21:54
  happy to be here. I do really sincerely help
• 21:57
  people like this. Cults of the record I hope grow
• 22:00
  some legs, I hope it sells and I hope people want a tour and
• 22:04
  another album and turns it into a real band.
• 22:06
  That would be the dream and it would be I would love to see it
• 22:09
  happen. I wish you the best.
• 22:10
  As always I end these with the wild card question.
• 22:13
  So of course got to be GI Joe theme today.
• 22:16
  What is you know, do you have a favorite moment or in of GI Joe
• 22:20
  lore comic book? The the more modern movies, The
• 22:23
  cartoon? Probably not the movies, but do
• 22:26
  you have a favorite GI Joe moment?
• 22:28
  Yeah, that's super hard to pinpoint.
• 22:34
  I guess I'll, I'll say like some episodes that I love.
• 22:36
  I love the Ghost Brigade episode where they, you know, Cobra gets
• 22:40
  ghosts to fight GI Joe. I love the hole in the second
• 22:45
  season, the DNA mind Bender serpent or thing where they go
• 22:50
  to like, you know, they go to the tombs of like flat the
• 22:52
  impaler and Rasputin, all kinds of cool stuff.
• 22:57
  And then man, I love this one episode where spirit and and
• 23:02
  storm shadow have a fight. But there's you could tell
• 23:05
  there's deep mutual respect for each other.
• 23:08
  And I remember even as a kid, something about that really
• 23:11
  resonated with me. Like, even if you disagree with
• 23:13
  somebody, you, you can find something to respect them for.
• 23:18
  You know what I mean? You can, you can, you can find
• 23:20
  something to, to make peace. And that was my, you know, it's
• 23:24
  funny, like all these years later, that's kind of, you know,
• 23:27
  man, I, you know, the more, you know, now, you know, and that's
• 23:31
  half the battle. And and I've gotten through life
• 23:33
  knowing half the battle. Boy, if we only had 1/4.
• 23:37
  No Joe, we would be all good if we even knew 1/4 quarter of the
• 23:40
  battle and learned our lessons from it.
• 23:43

• 23:45
