  Speaker 2: Today we got none other than Christian from Meadows. Christian,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you've been on the podcast plenty of times. You're a
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: good friend. I've showered in your house before, not this house.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: It was your old house, uh, which probably means I've peed,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: which means I've probably peed in your shower before. Just
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: so you know, I want you to know that there's
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: that kind of level of intimacy between you and I.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: You are lucky and everyone's finding this out in real time.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: You're you're lucky though, that you didn't have your toilet clogged,
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: because Mason has a nasty habit of doing that to
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: people like I should have. I think there's out like
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: a bigger insurance policy when when we came to you
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: stay at your place.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: That's true, you gotta sign a waiver for real.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I'll be honest. I think it's less of my problem
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: and the fact that there's so many toilets out there
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that don't flush very hard.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: It's like that, what's that bit? Have you seen? I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: think you should leave Tim Robinson show. Yeah, when they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: when you're like the plumbers come over and they're like
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it's turbo time and they start running around. It's like
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: a law firm ad but they like swap out his
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: toilet with another toilet where the hole is only big
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: enough for farts. So you just stand around all day
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and you got to go to the bathroom really bad, dude,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: when I need a good laugh, that's that's like, that's
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: cute that I love that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: That's good. Well, if you also wanted a really good laugh,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: you could just imagine Mason completely naked for some reason,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: standing on the edge of a tub while water overflows
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: in a toilet, and not just water, there's turds floating
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: in the water. That's that's floating on the floor, and like,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: what is going on?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You were at the door? Was he like yelling for you?
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: Like no, he was. He was making like no no, no,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: no no no no no no no, like like just
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: frantic noises.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: They're trapping you in there.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I felt like a prisoner in the bathroom. It
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: really was. It felt like a sick joke was being
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: played on me. But it was one of those things
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: where like I don't like, I think everything else was
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: serene outside of that bathroom. And so for Colin to
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: just walk in and see a nightmare happening before his eyes.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: It was just like what the fuck.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Whenever you like you have to go to the bathroom,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: like at somebody else's house as you don't know their
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: miller will or it's like a new girlfriend or like
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a partner and you're like, oh, man, what do I do?
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Do you do? Like the sink trick where you're like
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you turn the water on you just you were done
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that one.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: No.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: I thought, you know, you're gonna like jam it down
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: a sink or something like that. I was like, that's
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: not that's not how you do it. Yeah, So you
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: turn on the water so you don't hear the farts.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Is that what you're trying to say? The farts?
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Man, if they don't have a fart fan in there,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: like I'm stressing.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's like that reminds me of a good story
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I always heard. I think I heard it after my
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: grandpa died. But my grandpa and grandma they got married
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: like in the late nineteen forties, and literally their wedding night,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: my grandpa had to go pee and it was the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: first time he had like ever. I think, like, like,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you know, it was like the first time, like they
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: had been like in it's just them too, in like
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a room or whatever, and then he has to go pee.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: And so he was so embarrassed by the fact that
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: he was like basically peen in front of her, that
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he stuck his foot in the toilet and pete on
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: his foot so it wouldn't make any noise.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: There's like at least like seven different ways I could
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: think of, like to do something better. Yeah, just off
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the rip.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: Your grandpa was smart. I can't believe that that he
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: would have chose to martyr his own foot. And that's a.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Truly I don't imagine being that embarrassed that you're just like,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna pee on my own foot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: It's like it's funny when people talk about like their ancestors,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: and you know, they talk about how like heroic or
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: brave or courageous or wonderful their ancestors were. This is
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: the ancestor I get to deal with, Like it's the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: pen on one's foot, because that's the ancestor.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I get names aside.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Maybe he just had really bad athletes.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Foot names aside. We were moving into town home one time.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: It was me and three other guys. There's many four
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: of us in a two bedroom, so like sharing a room,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: sharing a room. Okay, we are moving in and I'm
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: talking like all of our family members are there like
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: helping us, like just get it done, you know I'm
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: talking about. And in the middle of like this moving
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: that we're doing and like boxes going everywhere, people in
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: and out, sweating, like we're in New Orleans and it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: just like awful. My new roommate was like, I gotta
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: take it down and we were like, hey, like there's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: nothing here, and he's like.
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: I gotta go.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: And he goes upstairs poops and there's no toilet paper,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: so he gets in the shower no to like clean himself.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: But there's also no shower curtain or like anything at Dude,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: it's like we're still just like moving stuff in because
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: then eventually we're moving stuff into the bathroom were the
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: heck is he And it's just like, why are you wet?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Bathroom soaking wet? Why did you get rid of that roommate?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I actually love him to death, but that was a
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: very that was a shock. You gotta go like what
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: is A what is happening? And b what is about
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: to happen.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Dude, that's a that's a rough situation to be in though,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: when there's no toilet paper and then you get in
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: a shower there's no shower curtain or towels. So now,
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: oh gosh, that's why.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Are you soaking up? Why is the bathroom so? Oh? Man?
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: This is like a mini hurricane just hit that particular room.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, wow. Everybody else is like, are you sure you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Don't want to name names because I'm kind of curious.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Mmmm. What's the yes, yes, I'm sure.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: All right, Well, enough of our pooping habits and pooping stories.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: We're not cutting that. That's awesome.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: No, no, of course we're not cutting that.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: Of course, that's what people tune in.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Christian What what's what? What's up in Meadows these days?
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Obviously the new album came out last year, and uh,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: y'all are you know playing some shows here and there
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: with some of those new songs. But yeah, what's what's
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: going on in the life of Meadows?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: What you know about?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you? Yeah, man, it's been a really you know,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: bitter sweet season for us. As you know, you might
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: know or might not know, we had lost our dear
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: friend and brother Brandon. He was our bassist last September,
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: So like literally going into furnace Fest last year that
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: same week was when it had all happened. And then
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: like you get everybody that's like in our scene and
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: in our community, in our backyard, like it was such
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: it was like the exact thing that we all needed
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to like just get through it at that time. So
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: like I say all the time as like a derail,
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: but like furnace Fest is like a truly, truly special
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: community and like it's a special thing and like if
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: anybody has ever thought about going that's never been, like
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: it is worth checking out. And then I'm also like
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: super biased because I'm apparently the unofficial mayor of furnace
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Fest according to Austin Visser. But with the undertaking, it's
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: like you know so many people. I'm like, I literally
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: live here from here. But man, it's just like what
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: a killer community that like really pulled us through the
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: toughest time of our life, which like really helped us
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: to decide, like man, we just got to double down
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: and like not like let Brandon's passion and his memory
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: fall to the wayside, and like we're gonna do it
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: all the more intently and like with that much more passion,
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that much more intensity. And yeah, we had put out
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: a show. Well, we did a like a like a
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: farewell show, like a benefit show to help with some
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: of the costs and things of that nature kind of
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that you incur with that to help his family. And
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: it was funny because we had planned it for January
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: and in Alabama, as you may or may not know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we get probably one good snow a year and it
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: literally shuts down the entire city. So we got our
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: one snow the day of the show, and we had
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: all gotten to work play to like go ahead and see,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: like all right, we're gonna be the last ones to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: not do this thing, so are we doing it or not?
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: And eventually, you know, just due to like safety concerns,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: like they literally had like a state of emergency because
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: of all the ice on the roads and stuff like that.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: But we were all already there and like had everything
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: miked up and ready to go to do a live record.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: So we put out a live album just a couple
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: months ago, and Face Down was kind enough to back
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: it and you know, help release it for us. So
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: we got to play a lot of old songs that
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: like Brandon was an integral part in like you know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: crafting and writing for the band and just kind of
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: like had this really cathartic moment that was such a
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: sweet thing. I think I think it was kind of
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: needed the way that it happened to do all of that,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: like just us in an empty room, and then we
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: were able to reschedule it and like do it with
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: everybody there that like, you know, you want to like
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: let it be something where like, yeah, as much as
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: he meant to us, like we understand how much he
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: meant to so many people, and like it means so much.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Hardcore is a weird thing, man like, and I try
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to explain it to people that like aren't in the
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: scene at all. They're like that that's screaming music.
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: You do that scream o stuff.
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, I'm not even gonna get into that,
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: but I'm like, you just gotta you just gotta be there,
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: like you gotta get in the room. It's like it's
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: such a it's such a special thing and like a
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: very cathartic experience, like screaming at the top of your lungs,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: like just like body to body with people and like
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: you don't know them at at first, and then all
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: of a sudden, like you just kind of, you know,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: become best friends by the end of the night. Or
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: like you know, someone trips and falls and everyone's like
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: help them up kind of deal.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Or you know when when somebody when somebody falls in
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: the pit. You know, what it reminds me of is
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: remember in grade school when somebody's colors would fall on
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: the floor and immediately everybody dog piles to like help
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: pick it up. Was that not your school experience?
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Colors?
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Like you're like, you're crans whatever, Like you're yeah, sorry,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: Like you're.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Like, look, hey, we call them cranes, all right, you
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: got some crayons, like the crayons, all right, the crayons,
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But I was like, your colors,
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: is that like an affiliation about that?
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Was is that not? You're like elementary school experience?
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: Though?
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Like I remember being in first grade and if somebody's
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: like colored pencils fell on the floor, everybody jumped down
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: immediately to like oh.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And like the younger you get, the more it's like,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: oh wow, look at how innocent or like how belligerent
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: these you know, hooligans are.
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: But Mason, I'm just I'm impressed because I only did
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: that for the girls that I crushes on.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: So just see you only you never have a truly
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: an altruistic moment.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: No, no, I don't believe in altruism.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: That's right, clearly, clearly. But anyway, the reason why I
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: bring that up is it like that reminds me of
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: how like if somebody falls in the pit, everybody's immediately
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: crashing into like make sure this person is fine.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I knew it, cow, I just knew you were going
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: to show up at some point. It's like, wwe SmackDown,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: like busting. Yeah, this is why.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Why do you look like you're amish? Now? That beard
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: is so bad?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: My hair up in that beard.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Is ridiculously amish. Do you look like you're amish? Now?
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: What's up?
• 14:19
  Speaker 6: Guys?
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: Christian?
• 14:21

• 14:23
  Speaker 7: at any response or comments on it.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: But you didn't text me.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: You mind have I'm just messing.
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: Justin Jones from Idol threat never never commented.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: I have a running list of people I sent our
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: EP too and people that just never commented.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Remember when I said it was probably one of the
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: best undertaking albums and songs I've heard.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just part of the podcast.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: I am the last one to reply. I want you
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: to know that. I want everyone to know that those
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: onto my voice listen to me, because I will say
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I'm actually the worst Texter and that is very on par.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: I was like, man, I didn't freaking reply.
• 15:09
  Speaker 7: Chris Chris from Chris from Fall Star didn't comment on
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: it or give any feedback.
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Justin from Idle Threat didn't give back or comment on it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: You you two black sheep. You guys are the best.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: I appreciate your feedback. It's good. Oh, I know.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I don't care about your opinion.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: He's trying to Christian, just straight up straight from audio
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: feed tell me too highlights.
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there we go.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: Did you get Skyline Chili?
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Dude, I I wish the whole time I had Skyline Chili.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: I will tell you that much. So no, I did not.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I don't know how close the actual closest one is
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: to Champagne Orbana Illinois. But if somebody knows, hook a
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: brother up.
• 16:02
  Speaker 5: But uh, Andrew Andrew knows.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: You know, he'd have to bring it in though, because
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: he's coming straight from since coming from the mother Ship,
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: the Mothership?
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: Did you did you get to see God's Eyes?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Dude? So God's Eyes did a what you know, cornerstone
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: kids would know as a generator set, but on the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: porch stage, and it was killer because I also didn't
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: think I was going to get to see them, because
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: I it's funny because I'm in this like face down
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: furnace fest, like mixed group like chat or whatever.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you only you only comment when you need feedback.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: On your right. But no, I had to run to
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: the defense there because it was like it was Friday,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: and God's Eyes were supposed to play on Friday apparently,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: but that wasn't what they had like I initially agree
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: to or something, and so they're like, yeah, God's Eyes
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: dropped last minute, unexpected bummer, and I was like, yo, yo,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: yo yo, they're playing Sunday. Everyone take ten chill pills.
• 17:12
  Speaker 7: And then I had seen that pop up in that
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: chat too, which was odd because it definitely showed them
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: on Friday, and they're not ones to just like not do.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Some Yeah, no, they but then they actually showed up
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a day early and they just played a pop up
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: show and it was awesome, awesome.
• 17:30
  Speaker 7: So So the running the running deal here is why
• 17:32
  Speaker 7: why I'm asking about Audio Feed and then God's Eyes is.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Because the Undertaking, God's Eyes and Meadows had.
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: Been trying to like plan like a three band tour
• 17:41
  Speaker 7: for probably a year and a half as far, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 7: it comes down to, like us in twenty twenty the
• 17:47
  Speaker 7: spring of twenty twenty four, the Undertaking said no to
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: it because we had we got some bad advice. And
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: then you guys said no to our recent East Coast run,
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: which we had even like planned in the cities based
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: on where Stone wanted to go. So we played in
• 18:04
  Speaker 7: New York because he's because Stone has been trying.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: To get to Brusble for forever. And then you guys.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Said no because you got the Confessions of a Trader show.
• 18:12
  Speaker 7: So that just cracks like it's like one of those
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: things where it's like we're gonna make it happen eventually,
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: but also like maybe not.
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: That's three different places in the country. That's hard to
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: get you know, three different bands from three very different
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: geographic areas together.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: Well, it is, but it's also like why it's so
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: appealing and also why it's so like and know, it's
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: just kind of fun. To like realize that. And also
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: you're out in the middle of literally nowhere colon, So.
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, you guys should it's easier.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: It's easier.
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: He always says, no.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we're bad that discussion before.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: We've got out of this road.
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: Uh No, it's not as hard as to see because
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: essentially the Undertaking and God's eyes, we would fly to
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: the south and God's Eyes would either drive or fly,
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: and then we'd do like a home town run with
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: Meadows borrow their gear. And then we would go up
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: to the northeast with Meadows and we would borrow their gear.
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: You guys would Meadows would fly or drive up there,
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: and then everybody would either drive or fly to the
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: west coast and then they would use our gear. So
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: it works out actually in theory if you do like
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: these like five six, seven day runs. But then I
• 19:31
  Speaker 7: don't know, Christian, you got a kid, Stone's got a kid,
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: Armando's got a kid, Evan's got a kid.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: We've got a bunch of kids, and it just makes
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: things more complicated.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: But what's cool too is we've actually had so many
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: people fill in for different spots. We've been debating on
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: doing a meadows like A and B doing two tours
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: at the same time.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: This is our varsity and our junior varsity crew.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: This will destroy This will destroy you. Has that going
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: on right now? They have two separate bands?
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Wait what Yeah, there's two separate bands, Like both of
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: the lead guys kind of I don't I think there
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: might be some drama, but they like both wanted to
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: still use the moniker This will destroy and they still
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: are like making music separately, and like that's what they
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: agreed to. They're gonna make music separately, going tour separately.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: So they just have like they both hired out like
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: different bands, but they're still like it's still this will
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Destroy You.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: They're playing what's that what they're playing the same songs?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, same songs and it's just two separate guys.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: They it's like it's like it's it's like all those
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: bands from like the nineteen seventies that that made it
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: really big and then they broke up and then they
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: there's basically three of the exact same band, exact same
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: like set list because one of the members from the
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: band is like still doing all of the tunes. It's
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: kind of wild.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: That just happened with Oasis where they Noel Gallagher.
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: I think that's how you say his name.
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: Just played like a bunch of his solo stuff and
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: his brother like sat out from some of it, and
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: I guess people were like, no, we want to hear
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: the stuff that they put together.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: Take it open.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: He's starting junior eye.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're old, man, you're really old.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: We gave him the smallest shirt we had and like
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: swallowed him whole and now he's like almost as tall
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: as Armando.
• 21:35
  Speaker 6: That was that was Jack. Jack had got this small shirt. Henry.
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: I actually never got him my shirt.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: We'll have to change it. That's all right.
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: Well it's a Meadows podcast. So anyways, this is Austin
• 21:47
  Speaker 7: from the Undertaking. Oh here's Jack and he's wearing a
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: God's Eyes shirt.
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: Yeah Jack, I love you guys.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: Good to see you, Christian love dude.
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: Back at you. Get back to your Yogi studio.
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: I don't know how to I'm going to just click session.
• 22:11
  Speaker 5: It's not letting me get him out of here.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I texted him beforehand and I said, hey, just know
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: if you want to pop on, Nielsen's gonna be with us.
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: He said, call me when it's someone good that tracks,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: that does track, that does track.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: What a guy? What a guy? Well, so you were
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: talking a little bit about yeah, like just the furnace
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: fast community and how important that's been for you, especially
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: in this season of life. I mean certainly that that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: been the case for Colin and I right, Like, I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: obviously I think you would probably consider us a part
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: of that. And yeah, it's just it's yeah, I've peed
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: in your shower. That's how close of community we've had.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I haven't. I didn't clog your toilet though.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Maybe one that's the next step, you know what I mean.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe then I'll be living with you.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Hey man, bring it on.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: And I don't know, I don't know what would what
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: it would take after that for me to be able
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to sleep in the same bed with you, But you know,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: maybe we can make that happen.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: So you have to kick Milo out, oh oh.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Milo and I will fight to the death.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: Or you'll just cuddle that much harder. It's true.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Miss that dog Jen it's like upset. She's like, you
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: don't like you don't hold me like that. I'm like,
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: he's fluffy, he's a labordoodle. Of course, I don't hold
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: you this way.
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: If you can throw your hair like Milo, I'll hold
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: you like that as well.
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: That's so funny.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: So what else is going on in the life of Meadows?
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: So obviously again album last year? I know you've played
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: in some shows even outside of Furnace Fast, outside of
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: the one off show for the benefit show. Yeah, like,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: are you got like obviously you're gonna be playing Furnace
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: Fest again this year, but any other shows that we
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: could maybe expect is there? Are you guys even like
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: starting to write again? Like where are you all at
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: right now?
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah? So all of that. Yes, you know, we're gonna
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: be up in Missouri for like chains Unchained Fest here shortly,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: and then I mean we're doing Cable Fest at University
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: North Alabama. That's gonna be sick up in Florence, and
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: then the Furnace Fest is right around the corner. There's
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: a pretty big gap there because we are writing pretty
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: hardcore right now, like we are.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: You're writing hardcore, like hardcore songs, I hope.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: So oh that's actually also a good point because yes,
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: I mean that does that fits? But yeah, so we're
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: we're trying to get some things nailed down and finished up.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I have any like release dates yet for anything, but
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: we are pumped and I would be I'm go ahead
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: and like shoot my shot call it now. We will
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: plan to play a new song at Furnace Fest.
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: Nice. That's gonna be cool.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: So I'm hoping we can have it out before then.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: We got to hit the freaking pavement. But we're gonna
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: play it anyway because it's dude, they are. It's just
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it's just fight riffs. So we'll we'll have a good
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: time explain just so that you don't need to know
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: the song, like be involved in it, all right, all.
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: Right, So it's gonna it's gonna start swinging as what
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: is what you're saying.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, We're gonna just come out swinging. That'll be that's
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: the goal.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: That's fun. That's fun. Would you have ever imagined growing
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: up did you go to the original furnuce Fest. I
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: don't know if I. Okay, so I was you would
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: have pretty young, right.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: I was eight and nine roughly around there, okay, So.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: And there were no eight nine year olds that were
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: going at that furnace Fest because there weren't people old
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: enough to have eight and nine year olds, right.
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: And now, there's a lot of eight and nine year olds. Yeah,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of like just dad's Yeah, but like
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I love that it's so cool.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's why it's called Furnace Fest is like the
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: only people that go are the kind of people that
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: know how to actually fix a furnace or.
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: That know what a furnace is. Yeah.
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point too. What do you ever
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: imagine that you that that little Birmingham would be come
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: kind of like this this because it's not just during Furnaceast,
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: I mean like we'rek playing stuff like that brings in
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: some crazy good talent as well. Yeah, would you have
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: imagined that that Birmingham would kind of become this place
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: where there is this strong community for this kind of music.
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: I would say it's really funny because like the twenty
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: you know, two thousand and nine twenty ten era of stuff.
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: I mean there were so many like sick metalcore like
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: packages that came through, and like my first band and
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Gideon were kind of like starting out at the same time. Obviously,
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Gideon went global and we were just like a Devil
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: Wars product ripoff, you know, had a keyboard and everything
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: is pretty sick. But it was just like somebody like
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: church show and like you really felt the community. And
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: then like there was like a weird gap where it
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: kind of I don't want to say like it died out,
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: but like I mean it really It's something that Blathe
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: from No Cure and I talked about because Blathe has
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: been a huge proponent of the like Birmingham scene kind
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: of thriving in the way that it has and like
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: keeping it going. But I would say, like a conversation
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: that we had that I think about all the time
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: is like, dude, like nothing feeds the youth right now,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Like nothing is no no parent is going to drop
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: their thirteen year old off at a bar downtown like
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: in the you know, in a pretty sketchy area. But
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: like back when we had all these like different like
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: church shows or like legit venues that like had a
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: passion like to bring that type of music like to
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: the city, it was like it's pretty prevalent. And then
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: that's something that like kind of always stuck with me
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: and like where I got bit, you know what I mean.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: So I was like, this is what I want to do,
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: and like I've just never let that die. And then
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: when Furnace Fest came back around. It was like I mean,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: like in the most like punny way and cheesy, you
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: know analogy I can, and like it lit the fire
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: that like really just I mean took over. So it's like, no,
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: I couldn't have imagined it being what it is just
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: because like maybe I'm a little small minded in that regard,
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: but b I remember what the community like was when
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: it was like happening, and like people just went to
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: shows because there were shows, and like it didn't matter
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: who played. I literally would go to shows and I
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: didn't know who was playing until I got there. Yeah,
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: you know, I like my first my first show is
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: at in a parking lot at a place called Smoothie
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: Joe's's a Smoothie Storre that was like outside my neighborhood,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: but they held shows and so like my first show
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: was like I am terrified. But back then they were
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: fixed till Tuesday from here removed the veil who I
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: believe was on face down at some point kind of
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: like southern you know metal like and then like some
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: you know local legend like Hope Sounds like Hope Gate
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: City Slash Mathra slash, this endearing like stuff like that,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: like that show being in a freaking parking lot and
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: then seeing like all In and Seeing with Blood Comes
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: Cleansing and Dead Man and Reno and like so many
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: like crazy talented bands in a smoothie shop parking lot,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: Like I mean, there were probably six spaces, and they
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: like set the the gear up on the sidewalk, and
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: like people just showed up in droves that I just
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: imagine that.
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: I imagine that meme, like the smoothie owner comes out
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: and smacks the band and says, this thing is gonna
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: sell so many smoothies.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: And it did. That's the thing, dude, it did. That's
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: where I had my first red Line energy when I
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: was technically underage, because it's like, don't drink this if
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: you're under eighteen or pregnant.
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: I want caffeine. And it wired me. I'm gonna passed out.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: I don't even know, but not because they sold it
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: to me, but someone gave it to me. Anyways.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Rebellious, Hey man, I love it. Is that smoothie shop
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: still there?
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: They're not. It's actually now, shoot, what is it now?
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: My grandpa still lives in the neighborhood. I think it's
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: like a hardware store or a spa or a nail salon.
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: What I love how it could be anything. It sounds
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: like there is a.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Jack's across the street. Now, uh, some some good breakfast
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: for all the fernies that come into town. Fast food.
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: You know, that's that's the cheapest fast food I think
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I've ever had.
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: Get you a good biscuit in the morning, the steak biscuit.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Bro I like some old guy and that you watch
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: the old guy just making them right in front of
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: the there's.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: The old guy making them. And then you've got the
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: old guys that like show up every Friday at like
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: the butt crack of dawn, and that's like they do that.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: And I'm like, dude, you guys.
• 32:57
  Speaker 4: The sausage one saw, such biscuit is like the little
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: like sausage like link biscuit.
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: Oh so the smoke sauce, smoked sausage, those ones. So
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: connecta connecta is kind of like the thing down here.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: I didn't realize that. I thought it was like, oh,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: you want sausage. I was like, yeah, I want connecca.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: And I always thought growing up it's kind of like
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: from the South, we call like Hey, do you want
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: to coke? Yeah? What kind? It'sprite, right, It's like everything's coke. Well,
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: everything was Connecca as far as like smoke sausage went.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: But Connecca is actually a county in Alabama where they
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: make that sausage. So it's like you can get Connecca
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: sausage like at the store, and but like that's all
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: we've ever had growing up. We're not getting like, you know,
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Jimmy Dean's or whatever the heck eltse you know CONNECTA.
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: That's cool. I didn't know that well about that time.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Another thing, people who are going to Furnace Fest what
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: they do, According to Christian Nielsen, what should they do
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: outside of the festival.
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: So outside of the festival is a good point to
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: make because they're coming here probably for the festival, which
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: means their day is going to start rather early and
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: end rather late.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: Or if you come like a day before or something
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: like that, or you have an extra day in town before, you.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Grab a day before or get an extra day afterwards.
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: It's funny because like outside of Furnace Fest, I'd be like, hey,
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: you should go check out slows and like go walk
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: around and like do a little tour, but like if
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: you're at Furnace Fest, you're already checking that off. So
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: it's like that's really cool because it's actually a registered
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: like National Historic landmark. Yeah right, but I would go
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: check out the Vulcan. It's a I think it's the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: world's largest iron statue. We can go up it in
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: an elevation and like you get a really cool like
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: killer overlook the city if from really high up.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: It's a cool statue. Were you going to do that?
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: But then it like costs like ten bucks each.
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: I think it was like twenty bucks when we did it.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: No way, it's got to be close to ten. But
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: you also get to go through the little museum that's there,
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: or you could, I think, just do the elevator bike.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: I think last time it went they gave us like
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: a whole day pass with it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, so that was cool.
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: It was like, Okay, you can come back later or whatever.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: But it's like, okay, what are we trying to see
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: this at night as well? Like that's I guess kind
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: of what you would do, but it's worth seeing and
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: like it's worth like going, Like I think if you're
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: going to be in Birmingham and you have any of
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: time and you're just kind of curious. Another thing that
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: is honestly amazing. I haven't been in a couple of years.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: I don't know like what updates they've done, but the
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: Civil Rights Institute and Museum incredible. Is so powerful and
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: like you can do like different walks like throughout the city.
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: That's all downtown. But I mean, if you're really kind
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: of strapped on time, it's really just going to come
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: down to food. Baby, you gotta get some good Southern food.
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: So like, if you want something fast food, do Jacks
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: for breakfast and get Milo's at some point. Get a burger.
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah. That glaze that they that they do on those
• 36:21

• 36:39
  Speaker 3: get some smoke wings. Dude, if you want my wings

• 39:29
  Speaker 4: this or not, but like Southern hospitality definitely rings true
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: when it comes to places that to eat, and I
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: mean every time I've gone I one of the things
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I'm most looking forward to. Yes, bands and stuff like that,
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: but it's the food, baby, dude.
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Also, if you're like at Furnace Fest back forty, like
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: literally right across from the pond. They have a killer burger.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: All right, they have a killer burger.
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: Probably cheaper than what you'll get at the Fest two.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man, I had way too many of.
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: Those bad luck burgers. Yeah, were good.

  Speaker 2: Veggie burger is incredible.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Did you'll see when Plea for Perging played and they
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: were shooting him with a slingshot.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: I literally ate one in the front row. It was great, amazing.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: I wish I could have been in the crowd at
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: that point. I was That's probably the only time I've
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: ever been sad to be side stated.
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: You could have jumped into the crowd. I guarantee you
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: he would have thrown on right at you.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: What am I sinking?
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah? I should have coached I should have coaxed you out.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: What a fool.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I still remember that Colin you gat you ate
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: a bite, then you gave me a bite, and then
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: you gave it to a kid.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because he was like can I have that? I
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: was like, here you go, dude. He's like heck yeah,
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: and he's like eating it up on stage. It was awesome.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: That's like the coke commercial from back in the day
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: with like me and Joe Green here, kid, that's awesome
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: a burger.
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: What what me and Joe Green really should have been
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: doing is, hey, kid, what the hell are you doing
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: down here in the tunnel?
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Where are your parents?
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: You're not supposed to be down here. There's there's guys
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: doing coke down in this locker room because it's the seventies.
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: Give don't mind the needles. Don't mind the needles.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: He gave him coke.
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: Quite literally, comcial.
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: Coke knew what they were doing in that commercial.
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: There's guys dont coke down.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: Like I'm realizing right now, there's a It's probably a
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: daily occurrence that a Southerner will say, I'd like a
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: coke pepsi please? That is ridiculous that like that almost
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: kind of I don't know if to I don't know
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: if I should like that or be a little annoyed
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: by that.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: Well, like it would at least, I mean, I'll give
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: you the benefit of the doubt, because it could maybe
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: say I'd like a coke and then they would probably
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: say is pepsi okay? And then they're like yeah, or
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: they would say I'll have a sprite, like Coke is
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: just soda and in a lot of those regards, it's like.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: Who did How did Coke just get so blessed with
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: having their name be synonymous with a soda pop and
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: not because from Psi dropped the ball on.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: From Atlanta and they were before Pepsi and they're like
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: a mainstay in the South.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: I went down a rabbit hole on YouTube and like
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: saw this whole thing about how Pepsi was like acquiring
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: you know those like Taco Bells, Slash a and W
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: restaurants Slash Pizza Hut or whatever, and they were like
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: combining all those to like save costs because they couldn't
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: compete with Coke and that was the stores that they
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: could sell Pepsi in.
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: That whole thing was just to compete with Coke.
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's even like this deal where like at one
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: point Coke had Pepsi like dead to rights and like
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: pepsis like, we'll sell to you, and Coke is like, nah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: well we'll we'll make sure that you stay in business
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: so that we have someone to compete against so that
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: we're not a monopoly. They did that too. That's wild,
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: all right, Well, good should we uh should we talk
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: about your your artists that you should like on paper,
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: but you don't.
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: Should we could? We can?
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: We we we can and we will.
• 43:46
  Speaker 3: All right, how's this going?
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: So?
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: Just am I? Am? I shooting from this? All right? Look,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: I figured i'd try and keep it to like furnace
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Fest bands for the most part, okay, just because I figure,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: you know, it might be a conducer to the audience,
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: you know, if you will for sure, and the series
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: that we're upon. But number one and again, caveat. I'm
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: gonna lay this out before I say any of these
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: bands and before everybody comes at me with pitchforks. These
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: are bands that I should be into.
• 44:19
  Speaker 8: I'm just not not bands that I don't like, right,
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: These are bands that like, Hey, on paper, I've got
• 44:27
  Speaker 8: a lot of reasons to like that, to love that.
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just a bystander.
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: But for whatever reason, it never it never quite tickled
• 44:36
  Speaker 4: that inner part of your brain.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So stretch Armstrong easily.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Oh it's a great pick, the.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: First one on there for me. And it's like I'm
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: sitting there watching them at furnace Fest even and I'm like, man,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: this is really cool. Like they got a lot of
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: energy a lot of people are bought in, Like I know,
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: Johnny's like huge into them, and so like I was like,
• 45:05
  Speaker 3: this is really sick. I should be into them, and
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: I just that's like a prime example where I'm like,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: you know, here we are.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, it's it is. It's wild because everyone's like,
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: oh man, yeah, I like worship at the feet of
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: Stretch Armstrong or something like that. Right, But for some reason,
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: there's always those bands that like, you try and you try,
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: and then you go to a live show and you're like,
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: all right, this will be what converts me, and it
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: just you know, for some reason, it never quite touches you.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean to the point where I'm like I
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: would love to see them again. I'm just just not
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: into them.
• 45:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Maybe I listen to too many podcasts and maybe that's why
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: this list is so weird for me.
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: That's all right, that's all right, another one.
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: So am I the only one going? Or do you
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: get have a list as well?
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we've got we've got lists. We we haven't we
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: haven't divulged them in a long time. I don't think
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: are we.
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: Gonna are we gonna round Robin or is this all
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: just to pick on.
• 46:09
  Speaker 4: Me if you're a couple.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, no worries, I just.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: If you feel I feel like you're kind of just
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: taking over right now in the three song. I mean, look,
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: I understand.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: I just want to make sure I'm not running your show.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: You're good, all right. Second, and this really spawned on
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: me from a clip I saw the other day, But
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: haste to day really really okay, and again, should be
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: into them a lot of like the tertiary bands like
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: that have been with them, or that sounds similar to
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: them or same label, like people I know that are
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: into them. I've just probably heard like half of one song.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Ever, honestly, Oh so you haven't given them like I try,
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: is what you're saying.
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: But it's like I've like checked it out and I'm like, okay, yeah,
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: like I I see this and I see what's going
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: on here, and like I just haven't, which will take
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: me to the next point that I'm gonna make, and
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: that's for Silent Planet.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Ooh all right, interesting.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Because like I love Garrett, like I love the guys
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: in the band, and like I've we've played with them
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: several times, and like I've watched them several times. I'm like, man,
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: they're freaking talented. Yeah, and I'm like, oh, dude, Garrett
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: so like philosophical with his lyrics and all this, and
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: so it's like, all right, we're so we're going down
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: the checklist of like reasons I should be really into
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: this band. Yeah, And I don't know if this is
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: like an ADHD, like you know, mannerism. I've been told
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: it it might be, So if you'll familiar with any
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: of that, go ahead and chime in here. But I
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: like it's the same reason I haven't started playing Breath
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: of the Wild, but I own it because I know
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: the first time. I I'm so like particular about my
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: experience of the first time I'm doing something that it's
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: like I need to have three hours at least to
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: set aside to start doing this. So it's like the
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: depth of Silent Planet has kept me from approaching Silent.
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: I get that. You know, it's interesting because I think
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: Silent I think for both Mason and I, Silent Planets
• 48:41
  Speaker 4: actually on this list as well. Now, their most recent record,
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: I think kind of changed our tune a little bit.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: But for the most part, Silent Planet's kind of been
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: one of those bands for both of us that were, like,
• 48:55
  Speaker 4: we like them, we like everything that they stand for.
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: We think that, like lie, they sound just about as
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: good as any band we've ever heard in our entire lives.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: Like the sound production, live sound production is incredible, right,
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: But for some reason, like they just don't quite tickle
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: that thing on the inside of our brain that makes
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: us fully obsessed or whatever.
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I would say that was certainly true up
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: until this last album. This last album I got into
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: enough where I think they are now off that list
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: for me, But up until this album, certainly they were
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: on that list.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: I love that you've pulled them off the list. That
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: sounds that's like that gives me hope. Yeah, yeah, all right,
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: sixty eight.
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: Oh really it's another surprising one.
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: It is surprising.
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: Another one that like we've played with I think like
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: four different times or at least three, and like I'm
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: a huge like you know, Josh Stoggins fan, and like
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: loved The Chariot and like was into Normal Gene before that.
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: So it's like all the boxes are checking for some reason.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: But I think I just like I don't know, and
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: it's like there's a song even that like. And that's
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: the other thing. I couldn't like name any of the songs,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: but it's like we've got a song on a playlist
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: that we listened to, like when we're at the lake
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: and we're on the boat and it's freaking awesome and
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: it sets the mood and we're in the vibes. It's great.
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: But like, I just haven't been like, you know what,
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: I'm just gonna throw on some sixty eight. But it's
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: like everything else is like, yeah, dude, I totally should
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah dude.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a weird thing like that though, But.
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: Like again, total respect for like all the bands on here. Yeah,
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: I should be into these bands. I think it's more
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: so just me not having time and like I say,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: not having time but not giving myself time. I think
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: you make time for things that matter to you. Yeah,
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: but again this is also bands that I'm not into
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: that I should be because it's not like I'm sitting
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: here doing like a deep dive this and that.
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: Right, you know, so is the last one the undertaking.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: I thought about it. I thought so hard by saying that, dude.
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: I think you should just say it and leave it
• 51:17
  Speaker 4: at that. And and then we'll ask all say it
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: and leave it at that and and then.
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: All right, well, it's funny because this is the one
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: band that's actually not a furnace fest band. I bet
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: they would be a furnace fest wishless for a lot
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: of people. But being as an ocean, oh.
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see that would make sense. Okay, I
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: can see that. I can see that, Like.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: The first Meadows tracks came out, I think the same
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: month that Dear God came out, and being as an
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: ocean and like I mean from the jump, everyone's like,
• 51:57
  Speaker 3: you guys must be really into them. They'll sound a
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: lot like them. Hey this, uh you know all that.
• 52:02
  Speaker 3: And it's like, bro, I don't even.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Think that will completely turn you off of a bit
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: like this band.
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: You know. It's funny because like I always I would
• 52:16
  Speaker 3: hear things like that from people, and I'm always like,
• 52:19
  Speaker 3: what part of our sound made you think that? Not like,
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: not like in a rude or meanway, but I'm like,
• 52:28
  Speaker 3: I'm very curious, Like I've heard a lot of spute
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: several times, and I'm like, I don't hear a lot
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: of spe Where did that come up? And I'm like
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: I don't. I'm like I love a lot. They're on
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: my They're on my intuo band list, you know, you know,
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: big influence, like for me, I think writing style, but
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: like maybe that's part of why that came about, but
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know. But yeah, I would say stretch haste
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: to day, Silent Planet sixty eight and being as a
• 53:05
  Speaker 3: notion or bands that I should be into, I just
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: am not at the moment.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: But as as you both alluded to and mentioned, there's
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: time baby, that's right, just playing.
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: There's been a lot of bands like that. I think.
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: I think another band for Mason was Touche More.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's probably true. Yeah, I remember, I just didn't
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: give them a chance.
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: I remember at one point Mason's like, Nah, for me,
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: what it really is actually to start with, though, is
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: your band name. If I think your band name sucks,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: I will not give you a chance.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Dude. I'm I'm kind of there. I'm not gonna lie.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like if you if if you name your band
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: after like one person's name of the band or something
• 53:50
  Speaker 4: like that, or if it's just like really corny, I'm
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: just not into it at all.
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like the undertaking to this so lame.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: Who has who has punk? You in their freaking name.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: But well, were you gonna say, Mason?
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I was just gonna Actually I don't even remember, but yeah.
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: Okay, Oh, judging a book by its cover? You like
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: to do that?
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I well that and I actually really, I actually
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: really like people that judge books by the you know,
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: by the cover. Like I love when people like have
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: judgment and they like want to voice their opinion about things.
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's a weird it's a weird balance
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: because I'm not saying I'm not saying there's not gold
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: in that book, but I am saying I appreciate when
• 54:41
  Speaker 3: people put effort in on like the creative aspect of
• 54:46
  Speaker 3: like what you're putting out as you're like first impression,
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: like your your front door if you will, to the
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: band or to the book. You know what I'm saying.
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: Like marketing and advertisement It's always been really interesting to
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: me as well, like what do colors mean? What do fonts?
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Do?
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: You know? When you see like is this too crowded?
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: Is this like you know, yeah, no, it's a really
• 55:12
  Speaker 4: good point. And I think you know, I'm not and
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not trying to butter your your bread here, but
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: what I am gonna say is Meadows does a very
• 55:19
  Speaker 4: good job of this. Like you guys have a very
• 55:22
  Speaker 4: distinct style about you all, like outside of the music,
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean. But the very first time
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: that Mason or I heard you was like the music
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: video where you're all dressed in white, right, like, oh cool,
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: the name is escaping me right now the depths, and
• 55:41
  Speaker 4: immediately we're like, all right, this is this is pretty cool.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: And then you know, the Meadows font and everything like
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: that is a very distinct, very very interesting, very very cool.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Well, even the name itself. You know, I got when
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: I think of Meadows like I think of maybe more
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: of an indie band, right, which is certainly like you know,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: you guys have elements of that. But you know, then
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: then you get the hardcore stuff and you're like, I
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: love when there's a band that you know kind of
• 56:05
  Speaker 2: has this like good little you know, like I feel
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: like me and Without You did that well, right, Like
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: they had this cool name, they stylized it really cool,
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: and there were the hardcore elements and India elements that
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: I think, like like when I think of me without
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: You for whatever reason, like that indie hardcore vibe that
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: they had going on, Like that kind of makes sense
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: with that name.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, right right, which is funny because that's like my
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: all time favorite pin So Wild.
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: That's good. That's good. Yeah, I like I like that.
• 56:34
  Speaker 4: I like that whole aspect about you guys, and you
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: continue to do it and everything you.
• 56:38
  Speaker 3: Do, and it's definitely like a focus that, like Armando
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: really executes well for us. Every design we've got, all
• 56:49
  Speaker 3: the fonts, it's all Armando, every shirt, every album, everything
• 56:55
  Speaker 3: that you see that we have our name on, Armando
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: has practically hand drawn. Ah, and it's I mean amazing.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: Like he and I, you know, we used to like
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: room together at a single wide trailer in Gardendale, Alabama
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: back in the day, and man, we would like.
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: Plug any toilets and or did he shower right after poopy?
• 57:19
  Speaker 3: No? No, But there were plenty of plenty of good stories.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: We can get into those when he's on here someday.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: No tour, Mondo is a thing if if if you're
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: around us, you understand, like Armando at home versus Mondo
• 57:36
  Speaker 3: on tour is so funny because his wife's like, wait,
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: you're funny.
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: It sounds like a mister bean thing.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: That's so spot on very much, mister bean.
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: I love it. I love it.
• 57:57
  Speaker 3: That's so good.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: Well, not not to blame the point too much, but
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: when I first heard Meadows, you know, the first visual
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: thing you see is is obviously the logo and all
• 58:06
  Speaker 4: that stuff, and I could not, for the life of
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: me believe that you guys were a face down band,
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: because all the face down bands seem to have the
• 58:16
  Speaker 4: same artists doing all of and I know the guy's name,
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: but it's escaping her right now.
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: Dave Quickl.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: Yep, Dave Quickle who does almost all of the album
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: artwork and all that stuff. And you know, I know
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: Dave's got a lot of great stuff under his belt,
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: but it wasn't really jiving with me all the you know,
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: the whatever. It was twenty five some albums that came
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: out for about ten years there that all had virtually
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: the same album cover, and it set you guys apart
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: in a very interesting, cool way.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: That's really interesting to hear. Yeah, because I definitely want
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: to position Armando as the next Dave Quickle.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or or the Clark Brothers or something like that.
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: What would you like to plug there, mister Nielsen.
• 59:00
  Speaker 3: Uh m, As far as plugging man, I feel like
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: I'm always real bad at this because I do have
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: crippling ADHD and I should have written more things down
• 59:16
  Speaker 3: coming into this. But man, just like Birmingham Rcore, I
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: want to plug the city, plug the scene, support all
• 59:26
  Speaker 3: the homies, you know, get out to a show, go
• 59:31
  Speaker 3: to a local show, book a show. That'd be cool.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: I'd like to see more people book their first show. Yeah,
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: like people that are into the music that I've never
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: booked a show, Book some locals and.
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: Just do it, like I want to do it in
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: my quancet building.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: Oh that would be awesome.
• 59:54
  Speaker 4: Actually what a quandtcet is kind of like it looks
• 59:57
  Speaker 4: like an airplane hangar kind of but it's much small.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: Dude, you can't hide money. Let's cook, dude.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 4: I got money though I'm a teacher in the in
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: the second worst paying state in the entire country and commonwealthy.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: Man, I love it. Yeah, dude, do that. That'd be
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 3: the coolest. The quants it.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just don't know. I don't know. I'm like,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: I'm way far away.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: From Hey comes through meadows at the quant quantt Fest
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: meadows with earth growns at the quants It.
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: It actually would be pretty sick there, you it would be.
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: It would be pretty sick. I don't know how to
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: get people out here though, but I'll figure it out.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: You you promote it, you just you. That's what I'm
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we'll promote it. We'll promote it, we'll make it.

  Speaker 4: It right now. Would be fun, dude, it'd be a
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: lot of fun.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 3: I think it'd be sick. I just want to see
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: like like more accessibility for people that are like intimidated
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: forgetting in the scene. So but yeah, man, we just
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 3: did a tour with Confessions of a Trader from England
