  It is a Friday and that means it is time for AQ and a episode.
• 0:28
  You got QS, hopefully I got A's. We've got a couple here in the
• 0:34
  discord. And again, if this is something
• 0:37
  you would like to take part in, you can, you know, at me on
• 0:41
  threads, mention me on threads, that's fine.
• 0:44
  You can do that same thing on Instagram if that's something
• 0:47
  you'd like to do. If you actually know me, text
• 0:51
  me. But honestly, the absolute best
• 0:54
  way to get involved in AQ and a episode is by joining the
• 0:58
  discord. The Legion of Stupid Discord
• 1:00
  Would really love to have you on board on the Legion of Stupid
• 1:05
  Discord. So Brian asks, what does
• 1:08
  deprogrammed mean to you? What was the intention of the
• 1:11
  name? I've always taken it as
• 1:13
  deprogramming yourself from disliking or dismissing a band.
• 1:15
  But the first episodes were bands you were already into.
• 1:18
  Or is it deprogramming the audience?
• 1:21
  We've hit on really what it is and what it started as and what
• 1:26
  it's become. It started as because, as you
• 1:31
  mentioned, it was firstly bands that I I knew and liked.
• 1:35
  And that would probably explain why I especially like the
• 1:38
  Pumpkins episode and ICP episodes were aggressive.
• 1:44
  I was, I was a bit aggressive off, off RIP was because I was
• 1:49
  trying to deprogram the audience of what they thought those bands
• 1:54
  were. You know, it it, it softened
• 1:58
  rather quickly. Within within the first few
• 2:01
  months of doing the show, it softened the attack of trying to
• 2:05
  change the mind of, or at least the approach of trying to change
• 2:09
  the mind of of the listener. But yeah, then it became, you
• 2:16
  know, with like the please explains and discovery episodes,
• 2:22
  deprogging myself, deprogramming myself from disliking or
• 2:25
  dismissing a band. I think we're, you know, the the
• 2:29
  mission statement of the show has obviously changed, but at
• 2:37
  this point, changing the actual name of the pod 10 years in I,
• 2:45
  I, I feel like we picked the wrong name from from the jump,
• 2:50
  but it came about. Did you even ask now?
• 2:54
  What was the intention? So you didn't ask where did it
• 2:57
  come from? So we won't answer that because
• 2:59
  I think I may have answered it already anyway.
• 3:01
  But what does deprogrammed mean to me?
• 3:05
  Initially deprogramming myself and eventually deprogramming
• 3:12
  what people thought of the artist.
• 3:15
  Anderson asks. What is your favorite part of
• 3:17
  the show? A The three questions.
• 3:19
  Why this band? How did you make your list?
• 3:21
  All that being said, how many unanimous for those who've never
• 3:24
  been on the show, Those are the three, the three questions that
• 3:28
  you have to answer answer. That's the first part of the
• 3:32
  show, B, the rounds, which is where we go song by song, C, the
• 3:38
  conversation to round out the top ten.
• 3:42
  That's usually, I don't know if we get 5 unanimous and then
• 3:47
  we've got to have the next layer of the show is figuring out the
• 3:51
  rest of the 10. And then D is what is the number
• 3:53
  one song? And it really just kind of
• 3:56
  depends on the artist. If it's an artist, I'm not all
• 3:59
  that familiar, It's A I I love the discussion of why people are
• 4:09
  into a band. It really oftentimes in the
• 4:13
  after the facts, I'll say, you know what you guys have to say
• 4:18
  changed my perception of the band as we're covering the band.
• 4:24
  So it also changes the energy of the show cause some, a lot of
• 4:28
  times I'm not going to front. I'm not, I'm not, I don't have
• 4:32
  the energy. I just don't have, I don't have
• 4:35
  the go. Most days I don't want to do the
• 4:37
  show. But then you hit record and we
• 4:40
  start having the conversation and it revitalizes me hearing
• 4:44
  how amped up people are to talk about these bands.
• 4:48
  So yeah, it 90% of the time it's a sometimes, you know, a is
• 4:55
  great. And again, as I said, most of
• 4:58
  the time it's it's that it is rarely ever the rounds.
• 5:02
  Sometimes that happens, but sometimes it's the the
• 5:06
  conversation to answer your question directly, C rounding
• 5:11
  out the top ten. And then every so often it's a
• 5:17
  really spicy conversation to pick the number one song, which
• 5:21
  is is cool. I feel like I feel like that
• 5:26
  last 10% between C&D probably take up 8 to 9% of that and then
• 5:33
  B gets 1% of that. You know, sometimes the rounds
• 5:37
  is is fun because, you know, depending on the again,
• 5:42
  depending on the band, I feel like there's beat happening.
• 5:48
  Maybe came out and the rounds was really fun.
• 5:51
  Even though I loved learning the history of the band, talking
• 5:57
  about our song choices was was really fun.
• 6:01
  But again, you know, I'm I'm just repeating myself at this
• 6:04
  point. What is my favorite part of the
• 6:06
  show? It's almost always a the three
• 6:08
  questions and oops, I meant to click X remove it to please as a
• 6:16
  pinned message. John asks what will you do when
• 6:20
  you run out of bands? And of all the people to be
• 6:23
  asking this question is funny to me that it is John asking that
• 6:27
  because he knows as well as I do he would never let that happen.
• 6:32
  We will never run out of bands. But supposing that did ever
• 6:36
  happen, I guess the show's over. I mean, that also means people
• 6:42
  are probably not writing music anymore.
• 6:46
  So, I mean, you know, Andrew added on to that, though.
• 6:52
  Can't wait for the Undercutters episode in 10 years.
• 6:55
  Here's hoping question mark. Yeah, you know better than
• 7:01
  anybody, John, that that would never, you would never let us
• 7:05
  run out of bands. All you, all anyone has to do is
• 7:08
  go look at the sheet and see how many bands we have yet to cover
• 7:12
  and see that we probably have, what, at least 10 years worth of
• 7:16
  bands still left to cover. So I don't know, like in the, in
• 7:23
  the event that that did happen, I would probably shift back to
• 7:28
  putting all my weight into something like your music show,
• 7:32
  which is kind of what the radio station is, is shifting my
• 7:37
  weight and focus back to promoting indie music, bands
• 7:42
  that could use bands that could use a hand, as it were.
• 7:46
  Because I miss your music show so much for a multitude of
• 7:55
  reasons, but mostly being plugged back into the scene is
• 8:00
  is the biggest one. And I'd love to get a bit
• 8:03
  plugged back into the scene. I'm starting to feel that way
• 8:05
  again with the with the station. It's starting to make me feel
• 8:07
  plugged back in, not locally, a little bit more globally than
• 8:12
  that I'd hoped, but I'm starting to get a little plugged in
• 8:16
  locally to being in a band. So anyway, all that is a
• 8:20
  sidestep, John, you know, you know what you did with this,
• 8:23
  this question, it'll never happen.
• 8:28
  So all right, folks, we'll see you next week.
• 8:31
  Bye.
