• 1:33
  But I grew up with these dudes. When I went to high school
• 1:36
  together, we all played music together and I allegedly may or
• 1:41
  may not have ruined one of their posters at some point in time.
• 1:46

  Right, so I'm drinking caramelize.
• 2:02
  With caramel Creamer. Boom.
• 2:06
  Hell yeah, we got a coffee. HTM Coffee.
• 2:10
  I got chamomile tea with honey in it.

  A fucking vocalist. I'm not even the singer.
• 2:19
  Right there buddy. Read them and weed body armor.
• 2:23
  That's the placement, bro. Yes Sir.
• 2:30
  There you go. No water.

  Jimmy, what are you drinking? You know.
• 2:34
  What I mean, I got that ocean spray to keep the peepee pain
• 2:37
  away. I'm.
• 2:38
  Going to need you to get your mic 73 inches closer to the back
• 2:42
  of your throat there. Yeah, there.
• 2:46
  Wow. Translation.
• 2:50
  Ocean Spray. Oh fuck.
• 2:58
  And naturally, and it's got intended, I've got my bottle of
• 3:01
  bookers that I got from a baby shower.
• 3:04
  So gents, cheers. Cheers.
• 3:07
  Welcome to the fucking show, do. You want me to stone cold it
• 3:11
  bro? Right now I'll be here.

  With water and body armor, you maniac, there you.
• 3:18
  Go do it you animal. Yeah, we don't need.
• 3:25
  Those fucking hell, Jimmy is your is your mic cover all wet
• 3:28
  now? Yeah, I'm disgusting.
• 3:32
  Currently, you know. You're the.
• 3:35
  You're the. Worst audio listeners?
• 3:37
  I may or may not have took the whole thing to the throat.
• 3:41
  But yeah, we do have audio listeners.
• 3:42
  Not everybody listens to this and watches it.
• 3:45
  I'm a little disappointed in myself and I will be doing some
• 3:47
  extra prayers tonight because Jesus.
• 3:52
  Does that mean the listeners are missing Chris's like 15 frames
• 3:55
  per second dance moves? That they are.
• 3:58
  Potentially. Really good, no?
• 4:00
  We'll make that call out at. You're telling me I'm only
• 4:07
  getting? 50 frames that you're.
• 4:09
  Seeing for me. Yeah, it might just be me.
• 4:14
  It's pretty choppy, brother. Is that the iPad?
• 4:17
  No, I'm the iPad. You're the iPad, you've got the
• 4:21
  clearest fucking picture, the iPad and surprises the shit on
• 4:26
  him and that's it. We're all going on iPads, dude.
• 4:31
  It's wild. Switch to the tablet.
• 4:33
  I got the tablet. Yeah, give me a shot.
• 4:40
  Anything's better than what? Than what you're talking right
• 4:44
  now. Your body armor, Reed was.
• 4:48
  It's like your audio's fine, but your video is a bit choppy.
• 4:52
  Maybe if you're not connected to your Wi-Fi, connect to your
• 4:55
  Wi-Fi. Because I know I don't have
• 4:57
  service in your basement bro. Man, how much shit No.
• 5:01
  Disconnect from your Wi-Fi. No, it goes strong in the
• 5:05
  basement. We're connected to the Wi-Fi.
• 5:07
  Now let's see, we're reconnecting.
• 5:10
  It's. Worse.
• 5:12
  Oh no. Oh no.
• 5:17
  Wait, it's better now. Now it's fine.
• 5:20
  Dude, all right, so there's a good chance that if Chris sees
• 5:23
  himself fine on his end, that is the version that will get
• 5:27
  uploaded and get pushed together in the edit.
• 5:31
  So real quick and then restart. I already did the fucking add
• 5:39
  read though. Yeah, you'll no, I'm not saying
• 5:42
  like end it and then a new one and then clip them together at
• 5:46
  the end after that and then you'll know for sure whether or
• 5:49
  not his quality is good. I'm confident because I've had
• 5:52
  my camera fuck up too all. Right, you're risking it for the
• 5:56
  biscuit. Well, it it'll be fine.
• 5:59
  Worst case we'll do an out of cycle.
• 6:01
  We'll get it figured right. Weekly recaps.
• 6:07
  Jimmy, I'm not going to put you on the spot like I always do.
• 6:09
  I'm just going to tell you guys about some off the wall shit
• 6:13
  that my daughter said the other day.
• 6:16
  So my daughter, three years old, fucking feral.
• 6:21
  We're sitting at the island in the kitchen.
• 6:23
  She's up in her stool and we're some, we somehow get on the
• 6:27
  topic of like death, you know, normal 3 year old conversation
• 6:30
  topics for sure. That evolves into like growing
• 6:35
  up and like being a mommy someday or bear it, being a
• 6:40
  daddy someday. And for whatever fucking reason,
• 6:44
  that struck a chord in her little 3 year old brain.
• 6:46
  And she goes, yeah, I'm going to be a mommy and Barrett's going
• 6:51
  to be a daddy We and then we're going to chase everybody around.
• 6:55
  And while we're doing that, Barrett's going to stop and he's
• 6:59
  going to go, what the fuck? I'm just like.
• 7:20
  You don't pay taxes yet you can't say fuck for real I I
• 7:28
  don't. Know.
• 7:28
  To do with her man like and she pulls it right out of her little
• 7:34
  fucking brain and uses it correctly.
• 7:37
  I'm like. I would fly man.
• 7:38
  Let it fly bro. We got to be like, let her be
• 7:41
  like a Peacock man. Spread those wings and fly I.
• 7:43
  I will say that her storytelling was good because like, that was
• 7:49
  quite the ending and I didn't expect it, right?
• 7:51
  She's either going to be a comedian or in prison.
• 7:54
  It's it's like a 7030 shot. Comedian in prison?
• 8:04
  You know, you know, there's worse things to be like.
• 8:06
  I'm not a comedian in prison, so that's a win.
• 8:10
  Listen, as long as she doesn't end up on the pole, I will count
• 8:14
  it as a parenting success. All right, Yeah, that's, that's
• 8:22
  really what I've got for my weekly recap.
• 8:25
  Like my my weekly kind of fucking sucked.
• 8:28
  I feel my brain actively breaking, which we'll probably
• 8:31
  talk about next week. But yeah, it's it's super fun
• 8:37
  and I love it. It's great.
• 8:39
  Jimmy, what do you got for a recap?
• 8:42
  Well, so I've been fasting the past two weeks, which is
• 8:47
  awesome. I highly.
• 8:48
  Recommend that if you're ever wanting to like drops in pounds
• 8:52
  quick. Do some 24 hour intermittent
• 8:55
  fasting man. A lot of fun.
• 8:58
  Get your get your energy up and stuff like that.
• 9:00
  I've, I'm, I've done, I'm not ready to do like the 30 or the,
• 9:05
  the 76 hours, whatever the fuck is it 72 hours, 72, yeah, 72.
• 9:10
  That again, I've done that in the past that I had, that was in
• 9:14
  the nicotine days, but it was way easier because, you know,
• 9:16
  not, not nicotine is a natural appetite suppressant.
• 9:19
  So but I've been when I get real hungry, I just rely on like a
• 9:24
  pinch of salt and a black coffee and I'm, you know, back to the
• 9:26
  races with it. But I'm going to keep doing the
• 9:31
  the 20 fours. I'm doing it every day.
• 9:33
  And then I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to see if I can
• 9:37
  do a 48, see if we can go from there and then dial it up.
• 9:39
  But I'm I lost like I lost like 10 lbs in like 7 days so.
• 9:45
  Yeah. And I am.
• 9:47
  If you cheat, though, this is this is the part that sucks
• 9:49
  though, is if you cheat and you like have a good day of like
• 9:52
  eating, you gain a lot of it back, like a lot of it's like
• 9:54
  water weight. But once you do it for a few
• 9:57
  weeks, like it, it gets pretty consistent.
• 9:59
  And then you're actually starting to look like actual fat
• 10:01
  loss and stuff like that, which is nice.
• 10:04
  But but yeah, so that's been fucking Bluetooth is connected.
• 10:08
  Hang on, bear with me. I swear to God, connected.
• 10:14
  We all heard it. It's not the it's not the
• 10:17
  laptop. By the way, the laptop's
• 10:19
  Bluetooth is off, Mike, so fuck you.
• 10:21
  Yeah. So for everybody else in here,
• 10:26
  we have these freaking cheap ass podcast machines that are not
• 10:31
  supposed to have Bluetooth. But like when you change, when
• 10:35
  you cycle through it, like it has this female voice like so
• 10:39
  like if you can like do like you could change your voice to like
• 10:42
  a minor and stuff like that. Then I'll go drop to a minor is
• 10:45
  like the voice the lady says nice.
• 10:48
  Every once in a while my my box will go Bluetooth connected and
• 10:53
  then all of a sudden it's just Hispanic music just blaring in
• 10:57
  my ear. And so I'm either listening to
• 11:00
  their news channel or whatever the fuck, they're listening to
• 11:03
  you and it. Happened though.
• 11:05
  Yeah, Bluetooth. So so if you want to hear me say
• 11:12
  Bluetooth, but it's kind of giving me just a heads up and I
• 11:14
  might not hear you guys and I might just be.
• 11:16
  Jimmy, I need you to get your mic.
• 11:18
  I'm so close to my mic right now it's like funny, hang on.
• 11:24
  I mean, I didn't see the gag reflex last time, so I think
• 11:27
  you've still got some room to go.
• 11:30
  I have some room for improvement.
• 11:34
  Yeah, that the their prayers he was going to do later is code
• 11:36
  word for practice. Is that the type of praying you
• 11:41
  did at church, Mike? No, no.
• 11:45
  And I'm not touching the rest of that joke, so.
• 11:51
  That's cool though about the fasting.
• 11:53
  Shane did fasting like 2 weeks ago I think.
• 11:56
  And I've done fasting in the past and I really enjoyed it.
• 12:00
  I wasn't trying to lose weight, but I was doing it for like a, a
• 12:04
  mental thing. Yeah.
• 12:05
  Did you notice any? Were you going crazy or was it
• 12:08
  like the opposite? Did you experience some sort of
• 12:10
  high after like the 1st 24 hours 'cause I feel like after the 1st
• 12:14
  24 hours I reached a point where it's like, good.
• 12:17
  It depends on like what I break my fast with this time I'm not
• 12:23
  so like the first, the first time I went through my my
• 12:27
  fasting bout, I was going just balls to the wall with it.
• 12:31
  Like I was doing that. And then like I was doing
• 12:33
  carnivore diet at the same time. And I'm a big time hunter and
• 12:37
  stuff. So like when I'm eating
• 12:38
  carnivore it's like just straight up wild, wild venison
• 12:41
  and stuff. So I would like break my fast
• 12:43
  with like with like a venison steak and stuff like that.
• 12:46
  The amount of energy and mental clarity that I had afterwards
• 12:50
  was amazing. But today I think I broke my
• 12:55
  fast with a half chicken broth, some friggin rice and a baked
• 12:59
  potato. And I just, I don't know, I just
• 13:01
  feel like I ate a heavy meal. But I have noticed in the past
• 13:05
  and I mean energy wise, it makes me feel great.
• 13:08
  Like I'm just ton of energy like ready to go.
• 13:12
  Nice. Yeah, definitely love it.
• 13:15
  Definitely recommend it. Yeah, you never noticed how much
• 13:18
  time you spend making food and eating it?
• 13:21
  Oh, for sure. Yeah, definitely.
• 13:25
  Yeah. So I went to, I went to the
• 13:28
  dentist. Mike, you can you can finally be
• 13:30
  happy that I went to the dentist.
• 13:31
  So episode 7 is literally titled Go to the fucking Dentist or
• 13:36
  something like that. We're on episode 14.
• 13:41
  It has taken 8 weeks. I haven't, I haven't been to the
• 13:50
  dentist since I lived in Dearborn and that was like in
• 13:53
  20/18/2017. What'd you go?
• 13:56
  Would you do at the dentist? Just had normal cleaning done.
• 13:59
  Yeah, they had to put some work in, but yeah.
• 14:01
  But no cavities though, which blew my and.
• 14:04
  We got the hook up on that free dentist work bro.
• 14:07
  Yeah. My my fiance, my fiance is in
• 14:11
  dental hygiene school and she needs patience like to finish
• 14:14
  and whatever. And basically it's just free
• 14:16
  cleaning at her school. Like an experiment, like let her
• 14:18
  know. Yeah, you could.
• 14:20
  Where is it at? So she's in the at the northwest
• 14:24
  campus in Detroit, but it's Wayne County Community College.
• 14:27
  But you just, you know, e-mail her, let her know that you, you
• 14:30
  know, wanted a cleaning or something like that and then
• 14:32
  just come in. It's just kind of a lengthy
• 14:33
  process. So like you, when I did it, I
• 14:35
  had to go for like the entire day.
• 14:37
  I had to take the whole day off of work to go because it's like
• 14:39
  they got to check your work and make sure that you're not
• 14:41
  missing anything and whatever. But after all that's done and
• 14:44
  stuff, you know, like it's a free cleaning so and you're
• 14:48
  helping her out at the same time, so.
• 14:50
  Yeah, slightly familiar with something slightly similar.
• 14:55
  My my girlfriend is going to school to be a nail tech.
• 14:58
  So like I, I do the same thing. She's got to get credits like
• 15:00
  you go get your nails done and stuff like that.
• 15:02
  So I'll go and get a pack. Here.
• 15:03
  Yeah, yeah, bro. Dude, absolutely.
• 15:06
  So go get go get my nails did and she gets credit for it and
• 15:10
  stuff like that in order for her to get certified.
• 15:12
  So but yeah, they I had a lot of like, so remember how you guys
• 15:20
  were making fun of me for like digging in my mouth?
• 15:22
  Dude, It's because my gums were like growing into my teeth.
• 15:26
  And so like, I've like brought them to the lady and she was
• 15:29
  like, yeah, we're going to have to do a deep cleaning.
• 15:33
  And she took this drill and like, ran it between, ran it
• 15:37
  between my teeth, dude. It was like, it wasn't great.
• 15:41
  But at the same time, like I had been trying to get this shit
• 15:44
  with my fingernail this whole time.
• 15:46
  I'm like, I'm like, fucking get it, Yeah.
• 15:52
  So. Finally got got that fucking
• 15:54
  taken care of. But was was it last?
• 16:00
  How many? How many?
• 16:01
  Did you have a story this week about your kid shitting or was
• 16:08
  that last week? Because I have one for you.
• 16:11
  It's a breaking development just happened.
• 16:16
  I don't remember, there was a lot of shit talking in last
• 16:19
  week's episode. Fucking OK.
• 16:22
  So it must have been last week. You had one Where?
• 16:25
  Where? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 16:26
  Ridley was like, I'm not going to shit my pants in the car.
• 16:31
  So I don't know what his deal was.
• 16:34
  So this weekend we had we had Maddie's son Quinn, which
• 16:39
  normally we don't have him on the weekends.
• 16:41
  We have him. He's normally with his dad.
• 16:45
  And we had him this weekend and we had my, we had my son and
• 16:49
  then Charlie's or Charlie was, he went up north with, with his
• 16:54
  grandparents. So it was just the two older
• 16:56
  boys and not the two year old. And for some reason, I don't
• 16:58
  know, Quinn was having stomach issues.
• 17:00
  And Friday I was on the way home and Maddie was cooking dinner
• 17:07
  and. I come home.
• 17:11
  She's giving me this face like she's just had it.
• 17:13
  And I was like, what? I was just talking to you like
• 17:15
  10 minutes ago. Everything was fine.
• 17:17
  She's like the 10 minutes I just fucking had, man.
• 17:20
  I was like, where's Quinn? Like, oh, that's part of it.
• 17:23
  He's in the bathroom. He's in the he's in the bathtub
• 17:25
  right now. So apparently Quinn was like his
• 17:32
  his the way he words things is hilarious because he's like he's
• 17:35
  like mom, I just I just farted and it's in my pants.
• 17:44
  She's like what? She goes and checks him and sure
• 17:50
  enough, he he should have he should himself pretty bad.
• 17:55
  And so she had to clean him up. She gets him out of the shower
• 18:00
  and everything, puts him, he puts new underwear on or
• 18:03
  whatever and he plays for maybe 2 minutes and he does it again
• 18:08
  bro. It's like, no.
• 18:12
  He he has the audacity to act surprised about it.
• 18:15
  She's like mom, I farted and there's.
• 18:18
  Poop and. She's she's like quit farting.
• 18:24
  She's like don't fart, go to the toilet.
• 18:28
  She's like you've got diarrhea at this point.
• 18:30
  She's like don't fart swing thing, get his underwear off.
• 18:36
  Luckily it wasn't this bad so we didn't have to like put him in
• 18:39
  the tub or whatever. 10 minutes later bro why the fuck does he
• 18:43
  do it again? Oh my God.
• 18:46
  Same thing and once again acting surprised and to where I finally
• 18:51
  I was like, buddy, listen, if you have to fart, don't.
• 18:56
  It's not a fart, it's a poop and it's trying to trick you.
• 19:00
  Don't do it. I was like got.
• 19:02
  A. Fart, that's going to stay with
• 19:04
  us. Go to the bathroom, I was like
• 19:06
  and sit on the toilet and then fart.
• 19:08
  And then you'll you'll catch it off guard.
• 19:10
  Caught it in the toilet. I was like, that's what you need
• 19:13
  to do. And then so we don't have any
• 19:16
  more issues. But you know how I am.
• 19:19
  So I tell him I was like, you know what, I'm just going to let
• 19:22
  you know right now if you do it again, your name for the rest of
• 19:26
  the weekend is going to be Shitsky.
• 19:28
  And he's like, he's like, no, I don't want to be Shitsky.
• 19:34
  I go, bro, that's a bad word. Don't say that.
• 19:36
  I was like, you get a path because I said it, but that's a
• 19:38
  bad word. And then flash forward the next
• 19:41
  day, we're at a McDonald's play place when he decides that he
• 19:46
  has to fart and does it again. So he realized he might have a
• 19:50
  stomach issue at this weekend. And I told I didn't.
• 19:53
  I didn't start calling him pitsy because I realized he can't help
• 19:56
  it at this point and I have to run him to Kohl's.
• 20:01
  We leave McDonald's, we run the Kohl's and Maddie's at school.
• 20:05
  Like I said, she's becoming a nail tag.
• 20:08
  So she's at school all day. So it's just me and the boys and
• 20:11
  I run the Kohl's and I'm like walking them to get underwear
• 20:15
  and we pick in underwear out. We go to the bathroom, we swap
• 20:18
  his underwear out and he looks at me and he doesn't dad and I,
• 20:21
  and he goes, this isn't a play place.
• 20:24
  And I'm like, what? It's like, what are you talking
• 20:27
  about? He's like, this isn't a play
• 20:29
  place. I was like, bro, where have you
• 20:30
  been? We're in the bathroom.
• 20:32
  I was like, we've been at Kohl's for 20 minutes picking out
• 20:34
  underwear. Of course it's not a play face.
• 20:36
  He took me so off guard with that.
• 20:38
  But yeah, so we had, we had quite a shitty weekend.
• 20:42
  If you want to to put a light with you, that's all I got for
• 20:47
  recaps. Amazing.
• 20:51
  All right, Danny, what do you got for a recap?
• 20:55
  Boy, uh, it has been quite a rough week, but the good news
• 21:01
  that I have is that I recently restarted doing cold exposure
• 21:06
  and meditation and that has been super helpful for me.
• 21:12
  And I forgot, even though I've been in the cold many times,
• 21:15
  like I, I plunged in a lake before at like 4° outside.
• 21:21
  It doesn't matter. I've, I've learned it doesn't
• 21:23
  matter how many times you do it in the past, it matters how
• 21:27
  acquainted you are with it right now.
• 21:29
  And I was not acquainted with it at all.
• 21:32
  And so the pipes are very cold. The shower is extremely cold.
• 21:37
  So I've been doing that for the past like 3 days and that's
• 21:40
  that's been basically the newest thing that's happened this week
• 21:44
  is restarting cold exposure and getting back on the grind,
• 21:48
  making some more music, stuff like that.
• 21:52
  Hell yeah, yeah. Well, with I'm you're in
• 21:56
  Michigan, obviously, right. But like I'm assuming, so are
• 22:00
  you just letting the cold because right now our water is
• 22:02
  freezing. So like I'm I'm assuming you
• 22:03
  just turn the shower on cold and we've got to run for a minute.
• 22:06
  Yeah, yeah, I'm just doing the cold shower right now.
• 22:10
  I mean, that's brutally cold. I mean, like, because it's not
• 22:13
  like in the summer months where it where it gets kind of cold.
• 22:15
  Like we're we're in winter. So it's fucking fridge.
• 22:18
  Yeah, yeah. You notice how cold it gets now
• 22:20
  when the winter hits if you're doing cold showers.
• 22:23
  I've been wanting to do that. I just haven't had the balls to
• 22:27
  do that yet. Like, I know goddamn well that I
• 22:29
  just, I'm gonna hate it. What do you notice when you do
• 22:31
  that? Well, I will say that the cold
• 22:35
  shower arguably is harder than a cold plunge.
• 22:38
  It seems counterintuitive, but like when you're in the ice
• 22:41
  water, you just, you just experientially know that there's
• 22:45
  not shit you can do about it. Like you're submerged in ice and
• 22:48
  like your body just has to stay still and get used to it.
• 22:51
  But when you're in the shower, the added difficulty is that you
• 22:55
  can kind of move away from the water water and you're trying
• 22:59
  not to do that the whole time. And so that's, that's like the
• 23:04
  added difficulty. But yeah, I notice especially if
• 23:07
  I do it in the morning, which is when I try to do it throughout
• 23:12
  the rest of the day, it just seems like everything's easier
• 23:16
  because it is. Everything's going to be easier
• 23:18
  than the ice cold water 1st 3:00 in the morning so so.
• 23:24
  It's interesting you say that. I listen to a lot of like
• 23:28
  podcasts and one of the, one of the podcasts I listen to is Joe
• 23:31
  Rogan and he talks wholeheartedly about doing the
• 23:34
  cold plunge. And if you can't do a cold
• 23:36
  plunge through the cold shower and stuff like that.
• 23:38
  And the shower thing makes sense because like when you're sitting
• 23:41
  in like in a cold plunge, you know, you're sitting still your
• 23:46
  body and the water and they, they, they, they build like
• 23:49
  this, this thermal barrier. So I would imagine that if
• 23:52
  you're in when the shower's hitting you, the water is ever
• 23:58
  changing. So your body is not able to
• 24:00
  produce that thermal barrier. So that's probably why it's so
• 24:03
  brutal. But he says the same thing like
• 24:06
  the best way to start your day is with the cold plunge because
• 24:09
  it sucks ass so bad and literally everything else for
• 24:12
  the rest of your day is easy. So you just start your day and
• 24:17
  and that and like, you know, other people always say too, you
• 24:19
  know, start your day with something productive and you'll
• 24:21
  feel you'll have a good state of mind for the rest of the day
• 24:24
  too. And you're like, you're doing
• 24:25
  that, you're doing something hard and you're you're beating
• 24:28
  it and you're getting it done and you're achieving something.
• 24:30
  So like, kudos to you man. Like I, I've been telling myself
• 24:35
  whatever I should start doing, I just can't do it.
• 24:38
  I've been wanting to but can't. Yeah, I mean, Wim Hof makes it
• 24:42
  kind of easier. He has like a program where he
• 24:45
  has like this e-mail thing and he walks you through it for
• 24:47
  seven days. You start off at like 10 seconds
• 24:49
  and by the end of it, you're up to two minutes.
• 24:52
  He's definitely the GOAT. Wim Hof, the Iceman, He he
• 24:55
  definitely knows what he's doing.
• 24:57
  But yeah, I appreciate that. It's been, it's been good.
• 25:01
  I'm going to look him up right now.
• 25:04
  I apologize if you guys hear like a whining noise, my dog is
• 25:07
  outside of the door right now just whining so.
• 25:10
  I didn't really. That's coming through OK.
• 25:12
  If you didn't hear it then thank God because I can hear it even
• 25:14
  with my headphones on. Pet, pet that dog.
• 25:19
  You come over. Faintly hear it, but the
• 25:21
  recording probably won't. But I mean, even if it does,
• 25:23
  yeah, we're OK. We're doing remote.
• 25:26
  You have a life, you know, right.
• 25:28
  It's going to happen. So it's.
• 25:30
  Yeah. All right, Danny, you got
• 25:32
  anything else for your recap? Wish I did.
• 25:36
  I mean, it's been fun watching people love on the the new song.
• 25:40
  That's kind of what's been captivating my mind too.
• 25:44
  I try and answer comments and things like that.
• 25:47
  But yeah, ultimately it's been kind of like a recoup week.
• 25:50
  I'm I've been kind of going through it.
• 25:53
  So like I said, I'm on the the upswing right now and I just
• 25:57
  started the cold like 3 or 4 days ago.
• 26:00
  So I'm on day four. Hell yeah, man.
• 26:03
  Yeah, I'm sorry that you were going through and I'm glad
• 26:05
  you're on the end of it. Appreciate it.
• 26:10
  All right, Chris, what do you got for the last 7 fucking days?
• 26:16
  You. Want to know the truth?
• 26:19
  I ain't got nothing, Miss Play. No, I've worked every day.
• 26:24
  I haven't had a day off since last.
• 26:30
  That's true. All work, no play.
• 26:33
  I bought some plants today, though.
• 26:36
  That was pretty cool. Gosh, I got a blueberry, I got
• 26:41
  some type of grape and then Raspberry.
• 26:44
  So, you know, it's kind of getting ready for spring, that
• 26:46
  type of thing over here. Trying to think of anything
• 26:52
  other than suffering at work out of eclipses, you know, the
• 26:57
  mindset. I guess what Danny said, it's
• 27:02
  it's cool to see some of the response for the song that just
• 27:06
  came out. But you know, there's a lot of,
• 27:09
  it's also a reminder there's a lot of work to do, you know,
• 27:12
  getting social media built and getting more stuff out.
• 27:16
  It's a lot, man. So it's kind of like it's cool,
• 27:18
  but it's like, wow, there's so much more, you know what to do.
• 27:22
  So, but other than that, it's been a pretty mild week for me
• 27:25
  too. Man, I wish I had some crazy
• 27:27
  story I could tell you but. We don't have kids, so.
• 27:32
  This is true. Predictable.
• 27:36
  Yeah, your dog's not going to hop up on the table and go what
• 27:39
  the fuck? So I mean, it's, it's fair.
• 27:45
  I think my dog does the equivalent of that though when
• 27:47
  we're eating she'll sit there with her toy and look at me and
• 27:49
  be like what the fuck are you guys doing right now?
• 27:52
  So definitely she does something similar to that.
• 27:59
  My puppies eat the wall. My dogs eat the wall bro.
• 28:03
  Like literally the drywall. There's a hole bigger than my
• 28:05
  head upstairs. And I thought mine was bad
• 28:08
  because like I have like when when Hazel was a puppy, she
• 28:11
  chewed on the drywall. I'm like, oh, she's stopped now.
• 28:13
  But like, if you go into my living room, there's like marks
• 28:15
  where her teeth were like digging at the paint and
• 28:17
  whatever. So it's just bare drywall and
• 28:19
  whatever. And I was like, Oh yeah, my dog
• 28:20
  ate the drywall too. He's like, no, my dog ate the
• 28:22
  fucking wall, dude. And I go there and there's a, a
• 28:25
  hole like this big, you see right through the studs.
• 28:27
  I'm like Oh my God, dude. Before I met these dogs, I did
• 28:32
  not know that a dog eating a wall was possible.
• 28:34
  Like how do you even get the angle?
• 28:36
  On it doesn't even make sense. Just get the hole started.
• 28:39
  I have it's. Just the canines, dude.
• 28:41
  They just, they just rub the canine on the fucking wall until
• 28:44
  they start getting chops at it because that's what it
• 28:46
  literally. Determines about.
• 28:47
  Literally canine marks. That's it.
• 28:49
  That is determination right there.
• 28:50
  Like that's we all need to take that as like a frame of
• 28:53
  reference or what we need to accomplish in life like some
• 28:57
  motivation like that dog can eat that wall bro.
• 29:00
  Like anything is possible. No.
• 29:03
  Anything it's kind of sketchy, it has to mean that.
• 29:05
  It has to mean that, right? Listen, I need a picture of
• 29:10
  someone's dog eating a wall for a three damn dude's motivational
• 29:14
  poster. I might be able to get you that,
• 29:16
  give me a couple hours. Hidden camera for.
• 29:20
  You hell yeah. All right, Shane.
• 29:26
  What do you got, brother? Not much, pretty pretty much the
• 29:31
  same, just been working a lot. Really enjoying the responses
• 29:36
  from the the song and I guess just working on new stuff when
• 29:41
  we can. The biggest thing for me this
• 29:44
  week has been I've been actively like staying off social media.
• 29:49
  So like I have like time limits and stuff on my phone and
• 29:52
  whatever. And like I hide them from my
• 29:54
  home screen. So I can't just like open up my
• 29:55
  phone and click social media. But even when I did that, I
• 29:58
  still noticed myself checking it a lot.
• 30:00
  And I realized like how bad it was for me.
• 30:02
  And then I've seen some guy, I wish I could remember his name
• 30:05
  because I'd shout him out right now.
• 30:06
  But it came across my Instagram one day and it was like this
• 30:09
  video and he's like, I'm going to do one year, no screens, like
• 30:13
  no TV, no phone, no video games, like no screens period for one
• 30:17
  whole year. And I'm going to be doing brain
• 30:19
  scans periodically. And I'm going to like see what
• 30:21
  this does to you, like with no screens and how they're
• 30:24
  affecting our lives and whatever.
• 30:26
  And I, I've seen it. And the video was like, oh,
• 30:29
  like, you know, if you comment and if you're one of the 1st
• 30:32
  10,000 people to comment and follow me and whatever, you'll
• 30:34
  get credit for this study or something like that is like a
• 30:37
  whatever, like a, a starter of this study or something.
• 30:40
  And so I followed him. I commented on his video and
• 30:43
  whatever. And that was the only video that
• 30:44
  he had at the time. Haven't really been updating,
• 30:47
  like seeing if he updated it or whatever of like how that is
• 30:50
  progressing so far. But after he did that, I kind of
• 30:53
  thought about it and I'm like, I don't know if I can do like no
• 30:55
  screens and stuff like, because I, you know, I'll sit down and
• 30:58
  watch TV at the end of the night to like decompress or whatever.
• 31:00
  And obviously like, you know, texting and stuff, I have to
• 31:03
  look at the screen with our phones and stuff.
• 31:05
  But I was like, I can still do my part to like stay off of
• 31:08
  social media. So I've been actively like if I
• 31:10
  go to check Instagram or something, I'll tell myself
• 31:12
  like, no, like get off of it and I'll close the app right away.
• 31:15
  So I think I'm on like day four or five of just like straight up
• 31:20
  no social media. Like I'm not on.
• 31:21
  Facebook at all to get over Facebook.
• 31:24
  No, you don't get to. You don't get to get off free
• 31:27
  baby. Oh, no, no, no.
• 31:29
  I can sacrifice. I can make exceptions.
• 31:31
  I can. Make exceptions for myself when
• 31:33
  it comes to like like posting for the band or like if I'm
• 31:36
  going on the band page or something like that, or if I'm
• 31:38
  posting on my personals for the band.
• 31:40
  But like my problem was like ohh like I'm at work and I'm like
• 31:45
  like putting bondo on a car or whatever 'cause I get.
• 31:47
  Auto repair. For a living.
• 31:48
  So it's like I'll, I'll dude, I'll put Bondo on a car like a
• 31:51
  swipe of bondo while I'm waiting for the Bondo to drive, check
• 31:54
  Instagram for 5 minutes. That 5 minutes turns into 20 and
• 31:57
  I'm like, well, there's Bondo's been fucking dry forever so I
• 31:59
  can stand on it now. But like, well.
• 32:00
  You're not supposed to admit that.
• 32:02
  You're not supposed to admit that out here, bro.
• 32:04
  You can't. You got to clip that out.
• 32:06
  Can't let that get back to the boss, man, You know what I'm
• 32:09
  saying? Oh.
• 32:09
  Dude, he won't care. He's.
• 32:10
  A Don, Is that his name? Yeah, he ain't going to care.
• 32:14
  But no, like then that was like my problems.
• 32:16
  Like I realized that like I was doing it too much in between,
• 32:20
  like when there really wasn't a need to check it, I was just
• 32:23
  checking it out of habit. And so I was like, I got to
• 32:25
  distance myself from it, create a better habit.
• 32:27
  And like mentally, even after four or five days, I feel really
• 32:30
  good just not being on it. Like my brain doesn't feel,
• 32:33
  granted, I'm not feeling well right now, but like, mentally I
• 32:35
  feel like way better than I did. So that's like the biggest thing
• 32:40
  though. I need to stay off Twitter, bro.
• 32:43
  Twitter's right but it's terrible all at the same time.
• 32:50
  Yep. Yeah, when I think about.
• 32:55
  Just couldn't get into it. I tried multiple times and I
• 32:58
  just, I don't know. And then for a minute there, I
• 33:00
  don't know if it still is, but Twitter was like straight up
• 33:03
  porn, dude. No, it's not like that anymore,
• 33:06
  thankfully. No, they got rid of all the,
• 33:08
  what do they call it, the judge, the Chodea or something like
• 33:10
  that. So, so can't remember if it's
• 33:12
  like Japanese or or Chinese or whatever it is, but they had a
• 33:16
  word for it. It was funny.
• 33:18
  I don't know. But no, it's not no more.
• 33:21
  But it's all, I mean, mine is all politics because of all the
• 33:24
  crazy stuff that's happening in the world, right?
• 33:26
  So you start going down that rabbit hole, you're like, oh
• 33:29
  God, dude, like everything is real bad.
• 33:33
  So. That's where I'm at right now
• 33:35
  with freaking Instagram and Facebook.
• 33:39
  The one social media I've been making role.
• 33:41
  Yeah. The one social I make an
• 33:43
  exception for lately has been Reddit, just because I can
• 33:47
  tailor what I see by like the subreddits that I follow.
• 33:50
  So I'm trying to keep it like guitars or like any video games
• 33:53
  that I like to play and like keep it to things that like I
• 33:55
  actually care to like look at whatever, not just like whatever
• 33:59
  my feed wants to feed me. You know what I mean?
• 34:01
  Like it feels a little bit better because I can tailor what
• 34:03
  I'm looking at. So that's the only one I kind of
• 34:05
  make an exception for. But even then I still limit my
• 34:08
  time as much as possible. Mental health Health the.
• 34:17
  Hell yeah boys, those are some solid recaps.
• 34:21
  Right. Mental health is a it's an old,
• 34:24
  old wooden ship. It's a hype, yeah, I put that
• 34:30
  all. Right.
• 34:31
  Are you guys ready to talk about you guys?
• 34:34
  I guess. Do it.
• 34:36
  Yeah. All right, so I came up with
• 34:38
  some questions because this whole interviewing guests thing,
• 34:41
  it's, it's pretty new for for us, right?
• 34:43
  We've had one actual guest on the show and that was last
• 34:47
  week's episode. Wait, so are we your first band
• 34:50
  on the show? Yeah, wow.
• 34:53
  Well, we're technically 3/4. Of Korea dreaming.
• 34:57
  Come on, No, it's hot after I talked about my vasectomy story.
• 35:04
  So he's got me blocked on everything I tried.
• 35:09
  Mr. Stop said no way, bro. Yeah, you know, it's something
• 35:13
  about telling anyone dumb enough to listen to this show that
• 35:17
  while the doc was down there holding your nuts cutting stuff,
• 35:22
  you just hear over the speakers in the OR.
• 35:24
  Hold me, nerd. Exactly.
• 35:28
  Actively being held by a man in his 60s.
• 35:34
  It was one of those, one of those life moments where you're
• 35:36
  like, is this, is this for fucking real right now?
• 35:39
  Before we get started, before we get started bro, because you
• 35:43
  brought that up, I have to ask you this question.
• 35:45
  Have you ever had a prostate exam?
• 35:48
  Not a prostate exam, but I did have a colonoscopy.
• 35:52
  Dude, it's not the same brother. It's not the same I.
• 35:55
  Know I. Know no dude, I had to get.
• 35:58
  Like by a doctor or like on a Tuesday night?
• 36:02
  Let me tell you real quick what it looked like.
• 36:04
  Bro, this dude was like 6 three. He looked like Tom Brady and I
• 36:09
  felt I've never in my I mean, he just spread them just standing
• 36:13
  up and this. Dude, she had a good looking
• 36:15
  doctor. No, it makes, I don't know if it
• 36:17
  was dude, I don't know. That makes it worse.
• 36:21
  So little Yeah, dude, I'm like this guy is a this, that's a man
• 36:27
  back there getting ready to stick his finger in my butt, you
• 36:33
  know, I mean, yeah, no shame. It is what it is.
• 36:36
  We all, you know, we all have the.
• 36:38
  Question. The real question is, did you
• 36:41
  get hard during your exam? Did you call the hesitation D
• 36:51
  witch dot? Com Tom Brady gave you a boner
• 36:54
  and. It was a happy.
• 36:55
  It was a happy. You made your Dick, I cried.
• 36:58
  A little bit. I cried a little bit, I'm not
• 37:02
  going to lie. Single tier rolling up front
• 37:08
  while there were several tears in the back.
• 37:13
  That was crazy though, I don't recommend it.
• 37:17
  You act like you did it for. Fun.
• 37:19
  I I don't recommend prostate health.
• 37:21
  Don't. You don't get that done.
• 37:22
  Only mental health here. And now I mean, it was probably
• 37:25
  worth it if it saves your life, but I mean.
• 37:30
  Just shit in a box and send it through the mail like a man.
• 37:33
  Yeah, you got to do that. Colon cancer.
• 37:36
  That might be for colon. Yeah, dude, what are we talking
• 37:38
  about? That's colon.
• 37:41
  Colon, I'm sure. That's colon cancer.
• 37:43
  Although. You can get a, you can get a, a
• 37:46
  urine test and they can check your like for prostate enzymes
• 37:49
  and whatever and then they'll recommend you go get one or
• 37:52
  something. OK.
• 37:52
  Do you guys want to hear one more story?
• 37:55
  I'll tell you one more quick one.
• 37:56
  Though, well, you're already going to tell it, so why not?
• 37:58
  Listen, well listen. They were all like, it was all
• 38:01
  like within a week like that and then like a week earlier.
• 38:04
  So I went to go get my like, I think they were checking my
• 38:07
  prostate again, but like not with a prostate exam.
• 38:10
  So like, anyway, I walk in. It's like these older women at
• 38:15
  the front counter, you know, like typical HR whatever, walk
• 38:19
  in. I go into this the office,
• 38:22
  right? I'm talking the doctor comes in
• 38:24
  and it's no whatever, but the juice.
• 38:27
  Clearly, you know, zesty and I'm like, all right, no, whatever.
• 38:30
  I don't. It doesn't bother me one bit.
• 38:32
  But you know, you know, he asked me.
• 38:35
  He tells me I got to get naked, you know, basically to for him
• 38:38
  to look at what's going on. I'm like, all right, man, like
• 38:41
  this is, it's a little weird for me because, you know, I don't
• 38:44
  know, you were, I've never kind of been through this before.
• 38:46
  So I did it. And then I kid you not, bro, I'm
• 38:49
  sitting there for like 30 seconds and then one another
• 38:52
  person walks in the room, just straight up walks in the room.
• 38:54
  She's like, oh, is it OK if I stayed?
• 38:56
  I'm like, and it's one of the, the like the HR ladies, right?
• 38:59
  Or like one of the people up at the desk or system, whatever you
• 39:01
  want to call them. But she's in there.
• 39:04
  And that it must have been like a minute later they brought,
• 39:07
  they brought in like a, what do you call that?
• 39:09
  An apprentice or like a trainee or whatever.
• 39:11
  And you know, she was young. She was like 2020 something,
• 39:15
  years old. Yeah, No, dude, seriously.
• 39:17
  And I'm sitting there with like 3 or 4 people in the room at
• 39:19
  this point. And I think actually I wasn't
• 39:22
  naked yet. But then it was like, OK, pull
• 39:24
  your underwear off. And they're all just like
• 39:26
  sitting right there. And I just, I'll never forget
• 39:28
  it, bro. Like I just looked over at that
• 39:30
  younger girl and we both just looked already trying to bust it
• 39:33
  out, laughing broke. It was like the most awkward
• 39:35
  moment in the history of of life.
• 39:38
  And of course it was cold in there.
• 39:39
  So everything shriveled up. Dude, I'm sitting there,
• 39:42
  everyone's looking at me. Is is crazy, bro.
• 39:44
  But it's kind of like, you know, kind of goes hand in hand with
• 39:47
  the other story. I just you had to be there.
• 39:49
  It was one of those type of things.
• 39:51
  But man, that was definitely the most uncomfortable moment.
• 39:54
  It's even worse than the prostate exam.
• 39:57
  That is the worst when you're at a doctor's appointment and
• 40:00
  you're like, you have like a physical or something up like
• 40:02
  that and you know your your little guy just doesn't want to
• 40:05
  represent at all. Oh dude, not even.
• 40:08
  I mean, it was, it was bad everything.
• 40:11
  It was just like and that's how I felt on the inside too.
• 40:15
  I don't know if I don't know, I don't think I've told the story
• 40:20
  on on this show, but I had this was a couple years ago and I I
• 40:26
  saw like I had, I had lifted something really heavy at work
• 40:30
  and I gave myself a hemorrhoid from lifting and like I had made
• 40:34
  it like a week, right. And like finally I'm like, I got
• 40:37
  to go to the doctor like this is killing.
• 40:40
  And so I go to, I go to the urgent care ER thing on like
• 40:47
  Canton Center and Canton there it's like Saint Joe's or Saint
• 40:50
  Joseph. 'S or I've done it before.
• 40:52
  Yeah, so I go in there and so the guy comes in and he was
• 41:00
  like, hey, so my name is Doctor. I remember his name is Doctor
• 41:03
  DeAngelo something right? And he was like, yeah, so we're
• 41:07
  going to take a look. And he goes first of all, he's
• 41:08
  like, you know, I'm, we, we've got, we've got this nurse, she's
• 41:11
  training. Her name is, I don't remember,
• 41:13
  but she was like smoking hot redhead, just fucking gorgeous,
• 41:18
  right. And I'm.
• 41:20
  And he's like, do you mind if she, if she sits in and, and and
• 41:23
  watches? And I'm like, yeah, I guess
• 41:25
  that's fine because. Well, what are you going?
• 41:27
  To say they always put you on the spot, but what are you going
• 41:29
  to say? I don't even know what's going
• 41:31
  to happen yet. Like I didn't even like I
• 41:33
  haven't even like gotten to that point yet to where like I didn't
• 41:36
  know. I didn't know if he was going to
• 41:38
  just like give me a little caress with his finger or what
• 41:40
  he was going to do right. It was so much worse than that.
• 41:43
  It was it was such an awful experience.
• 41:46
  So he has me lay down and he's like, and don't he goes, don't
• 41:50
  worry, bro. He's like, he's like, I just
• 41:53
  need you to lay flat on your stomach.
• 41:55
  I'll take care of a rust. And he pulls my pants down.
• 42:00
  Oh no, Jesus, so if. You never want to feel like a
• 42:07
  bitch, like just. Smack your ass.
• 42:10
  Before he did it, but he looks at it, the story gets so much
• 42:16
  worse. And I'm so sorry guys, because
• 42:18
  it gets graphic. He has me laid down on my
• 42:21
  stomach and he's like, Oh yeah, he's like, I can see it.
• 42:23
  And he's like, and unfortunately you're you've got a blood clot
• 42:26
  in there. He's like, so this is not going
• 42:28
  to heal. He's like, he's like, so you've
• 42:30
  been doing everything right. You've been keeping it clean.
• 42:32
  You've been putting on the preparation age ointments,
• 42:34
  you've been using witch Hazel. You've been doing everything
• 42:36
  right. He's like, but unfortunately the
• 42:38
  blood is caught clotted up and it's not going to go away.
• 42:42
  And he's like, so we have to get it out.
• 42:46
  And I'm like, OK, And I was like, yeah, so he's like, I'm,
• 42:51
  he's like, I'm just going to walk you through it.
• 42:53
  He's like, he's like, basically I'm going to make a small
• 42:56
  incision and we're going to, we're going to, we're going to
• 42:58
  coax the blood clot out and then you'll be good as new.
• 43:01
  And I was like, OK. And I was like, so I'm assuming
• 43:05
  you're going to use a needle or you're going to, he's like, no,
• 43:07
  I'm going to have to use a scalpel for this.
• 43:09
  And I was like, OK, so are you going to numb it?
• 43:12
  And he goes, well, unfortunately it's all nerves there and he's
• 43:15
  like a nubbing agents don't work in this area.
• 43:17
  So unfortunately it's just going to have to be a slight incision.
• 43:20
  And he's like, I'm going to be quick.
• 43:21
  I'm going to try to be as gentle as I can and we're just going to
• 43:23
  get this over with. And so like meanwhile, this girl
• 43:27
  is sitting back there looking at my hairy asshole like I know I
• 43:34
  and this man sticks the scalpel into my ass, makes an incision,
• 43:40
  and then shoves his finger deep in my ass and makes a hook.
• 43:45
  With it. And then coaxes the blood clot
• 43:47
  out and then packs me full of gauze and then pulls my pants up
• 43:52
  and sends me out the door. I walked out like it was awful,
• 43:57
  man. It was.
• 43:58
  And then so like the and then the make it work matters worse.
• 44:00
  Like I was telling my buddy about it.
• 44:02
  He thought it was the funniest fucking story he's ever heard.
• 44:05
  He's like, he's like, you basically got raped, bro.
• 44:08
  It's like thank. God so.
• 44:12
  I was like, I'm not going to lie, dude, it kind of felt like
• 44:14
  it. I'm still not doing OK.
• 44:17
  And then and then later he's like, bro, you got a we got a
• 44:20
  problem. And he goes and I go what?
• 44:22
  He's like, I'm sitting at dinner and he's like with my friends
• 44:26
  and they're all nurses. And he's like, and I just
• 44:29
  couldn't help but tell the story.
• 44:31
  And that is not how you handle that.
• 44:34
  He's like, that man should not have done that to you.
• 44:36
  That is not medical procedure. I don't know, but you might have
• 44:41
  a lawsuit on your hands. I didn't, I didn't pursue it.
• 44:45
  But apparently like, I don't know if there's any truth to
• 44:48
  this or not, but apparently that's not how you handle that
• 44:52
  situation at all. It doesn't sound like it.
• 44:55
  Basically what happened to me and there was a crime against
• 44:57
  humanity and a beautiful fucking gorgeous redhead.
• 45:02
  Watch that all take place. So I have witnesses.
• 45:05
  And. Basically took notes so that she
• 45:06
  can repeat that in the future it.
• 45:09
  Sounds like. All right.
• 45:13
  I won't be going to him. Yeah.
• 45:15
  Oh shit. For my future of hemorrhoids.
• 45:24
  For my future hemorrhoids. So you have a future
• 45:27
  hemorrhoids. Stay away from Doctor DeAngelo.
• 45:29
  And if you do have the Doctor DeAngelo, it might not have been
• 45:32
  that guy. Probably change his name at this
• 45:36
  point though. Yeah, I guess.
• 45:39
  I think his last name is Booty Hook.
• 45:42
  Doctor D'Angelo Booty Hook. Wild has he had me lay down and
• 45:47
  he pulled my pants down. For me, yeah, that's the
• 45:50
  craziest. I'm attacking you full of God.
• 45:54
  Turns out that guy's not even a doctor.
• 45:56
  Are you sure his name wasn't Danny bro?
• 45:58
  He walks off of. Danny D'Angelo all.
• 46:00
  Right. God, James.
• 46:02
  Yeah, for real. I got dental by Danny D'Angelo.
• 46:13
  Really necessary? Yeah, Get in the drone.
• 46:16
  What Stephanie Go. Get the oil.
• 46:24
  Oh fucking hell. All right, so like we said at
• 46:30
  the top, we are here with. Are we dreaming?
• 46:34
  So gents, we're going to try to go in order and we're going to
• 46:38
  go in order based on how you guys are laid out on my screen.
• 46:40
  So it'll go Danny, Chris, Shane, and then if you guys want to
• 46:45
  talk any shit about bassists, feel free.
• 46:50
  Be my guest. So we'll Chris, feel like we
• 46:58
  just got really intimate. I like.
• 47:01
  This the quality just. Skyrocketed.
• 47:03
  It really did dude. That's the.
• 47:05
  Secret. That's crazy though, because my
• 47:07
  my antenna's on the floor right now.
• 47:09
  You know, like the, I guess it's an antenna.
• 47:11
  Whatever the laser that is an antenna.
• 47:14
  Sweet. Let's chill here.
• 47:16
  Chill. It's bumpy.
• 47:16
  It's bumpy. I will just start by saying that
• 47:20
  we are 3/4 of Are we Dreaming? And the fourth person is our
• 47:24
  bass player Terence. He is the GOAT.
• 47:27
  He is the absolute GOAT and y'all are not ready for him so
• 47:31
  that's why he's. Not here, apparently.
• 47:33
  All right, that's fair. All right.
• 47:36
  So I guess who are you guys and what do you do?
• 47:40
  What do you play in the band? I'm Danny and I'm Shane's little
• 47:46
  brother and I play the drums. Been playing drums since I was
• 47:50
  like 7 years old. You remember, Mike and I also do
• 47:55
  the keys and producing for our music too.
• 47:59
  So I play drums in the sense and I hide one or two screams in the
• 48:04
  songs that even Chris might not even know are there.
• 48:06
  But I do it sometimes because they're bad.
• 48:09
  That's why I hide them. We can't just gloss over that
• 48:14
  or, or these lows or these mids. What kind of screams are we
• 48:18
  talking about? It's like a fry scream and
• 48:21
  there's probably like three of them layered together at least.
• 48:24
  Can we? Hear it?
• 48:27
  Hell no. Hear it.
• 48:28
  I'll do it if I'll do it if you do it.
• 48:31
  There's no way I could. I am so out of practice and
• 48:35
  doing it on the spot. There's a reason I hid that in
• 48:38
  the songs and do not do them and even in front of the guys.
• 48:42
  Definitely still practicing that, but.
• 48:45
  But our song Oops the Gators Loose has one that's very
• 48:48
  prominent in it. Yeah.
• 48:50
  Yeah, it does. The scream coming off of the
• 48:53
  first chorus that yeah, that happens.
• 48:56
  That's Danny. This, but live it's Chris
• 48:59
  because I'm playing the drums and correct, he's the GOAT.
• 49:02
  You're not, you're not going for like an Aaron Gillespie vibe.
• 49:05
  I would if I could, but have you listened to the drums in that
• 49:08
  song man like. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
• 49:12
  I'm sure it's easy for like other drummers, but I I would
• 49:14
  say I'm like average at drums at at best.
• 49:17
  So they're they take all of my focus playing the drum parts,
• 49:21
  especially to a click. Yeah, the the click track fucks
• 49:26
  me up. Yo-yo.
• 49:30
  But yeah, all right, that's what I do.
• 49:33
  Chris, who the fuck are you and what do you do?
• 49:37
  Hi, my name is Chris and I like to try to sing.
• 49:44
  No, I'm the vocalist, man. I play.
• 49:47
  No, I'm not going to say that. We're not going to.
• 49:49
  We're going to keep this G Radio.
• 49:50
  Let's hear it. I sing, I scream, I rap and I
• 49:55
  make a fool of myself and that's what I do on a daily basis.
• 50:01
  And it's exactly what we need. Yep.
• 50:05
  Dude I will say from the first three to this most recent song
• 50:10
  you guys released, I feel like your vocals have matured even
• 50:15
  from those first three to this new one.
• 50:18
  Like it's fucking insane. Oh, thanks, dude.
• 50:22
  Yeah, I mean, it's just I think, I think you're actually, you
• 50:27
  hear a little bit of the progression of of the song, some
• 50:29
  of the song structure and like some of what we're doing, you
• 50:33
  hear us kind of growing a little bit.
• 50:35
  I'd say even more so from this one to the next few that are
• 50:40
  going to be coming out as we're kind of like growing and getting
• 50:44
  more confident. And it's the process is becoming
• 50:47
  more kind of laid out and you kind of have an understanding of
• 50:51
  how things are going to sound because, you know, after what
• 50:54
  was it like 13 years or something crazy after so long,
• 50:57
  you know, you're kind of just like, I know how to do the
• 50:59
  thing, but it's the it's different once you kind of have
• 51:02
  like a hello, you know? Yeah.
• 51:07
  Appreciate it though. Yeah, I will second that that
• 51:10
  the vocals keep getting better and better.
• 51:12
  I, I, I, Chris, can attest to this.
• 51:14
  But there's at least once a month, I have to do it this
• 51:18
  month, but I randomly text them and just be like, hey, this is
• 51:21
  your monthly reminder that you're the GOAT and your vocals
• 51:23
  are amazing. And I'm jizzing right now just
• 51:26
  going through your takes. I'll just be editing vocals and
• 51:28
  listening to these takes soloed, going through the best one.
• 51:31
  And I'm like, well, there's a gold one, there's a gold 1.
• 51:33
  And I'm like, they're all gold. So he can even say that I do
• 51:38
  that because I know I do. Oh.
• 51:41
  My gosh, I'm blushing. Yep, Yep, Yep.
• 51:47
  It's true all. Right, Shane, who the fuck you
• 51:53
  and what do you do? I am Shane, I am Danny's older
• 51:57
  brother and I am the guitar player.
• 52:00
  And I would say I I'm me and me and Terrence, our bass player.
• 52:06
  We kind of share the songwriting process, but with these first,
• 52:10
  like, couple songs that have been released, they've been
• 52:12
  primarily just, you know, my works creatively, just, you
• 52:15
  know, me and Danny cooperating on songs together and stuff and
• 52:18
  seeing what sounds good. But yeah, basically just guitar
• 52:21
  player and riff writer. That's pretty much it.
• 52:25
  Basically just brother I'm. Basically just yes, all right,
• 52:29
  I. Basically just.
• 52:31
  A player riff writer. Yeah.
• 52:32
  String String zaddy. The hell yeah.
• 52:37
  All right. When did you guys at first come
• 52:41
  together and start doing music? Oh God, when was that 20?
• 52:48
  No, it was like 2008 or 9. Recently or like in the
• 52:52
  beginning? Oh God, the.
• 52:53
  Very beginning was like 2008. That was when we started because
• 52:57
  we were in, we were in 8th grade I think at the time, and we did.
• 53:02
  Baby. Oscar night at our middle.
• 53:04
  School and you were there, you know.
• 53:06
  So we did that one. And then we also did Oscar night
• 53:10
  the following year when we were freshman in high school.
• 53:13
  But Danny was in middle school and so we did it for him.
• 53:17
  And then that was when we started making our own stuff.
• 53:19
  And I think around 2012 was when we kind of like all kind of
• 53:25
  drifted when our separate ways and whatever and life kind of
• 53:28
  took shape. And then I think it was 2000.
• 53:34
  I don't know. We did get back together at like
• 53:36
  1 point in time and like we don't have to count 20.
• 53:40
  Yeah, we we jammed a bit and and we even jammed with your younger
• 53:44
  brother Mike in 2020. Oh yeah, Jake was there.
• 53:46
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just couldn't.
• 53:50
  End up yeah and eventually we just got back together and that
• 53:55
  was 21 We got back together, I believe we're 22 and then the
• 54:00
  rest is history I. Think it was more like 24 but.
• 54:04
  I'll let you answer. Because you.
• 54:06
  Have together came out a year ago bro it was like it just hit
• 54:09
  the one year mark so it's probably like I'm an.
• 54:11
  Indian when it comes to time? I guess so.
• 54:14
  No, you're dude, he tells me. My memories bro.
• 54:16
  Stain is goaded, not a goat. Because I have like, I have like
• 54:19
  a stupid memory when it comes to like just dumb stuff.
• 54:22
  Like I'll be like, Oh yeah, remember that one time when we
• 54:24
  did this after school on like a random Wednesday or something?
• 54:27
  And you're like, what? I don't even remember that.
• 54:29
  But yet you remember the year of like when we get back together
• 54:32
  and I'm like, no idea. I'll see none.
• 54:41
  Oh shit, all right, So what 2008 would be fuck, it's 2026. 18
• 54:48
  years ago. Jesus, 18 years ago if we would
• 54:53
  have had a kid at that time, he would be a grown.
• 54:55
  Man. And then we would have a second
• 54:57
  guitarist. Oh damn.
• 55:02
  I fucked up. That's right.
• 55:07
  Were you guys a part of any other projects or bands over
• 55:11
  that course of time? I know that they were.
• 55:16
  I've been making music from my hard drive since like 2012 and
• 55:22
  so that's all I've been doing. Hell yeah.
• 55:27
  There was a there was a band called the Rest secured that he
• 55:33
  actually had a really dope song that never came out.
• 55:36
  It was with a guy I met through the Grapevine.
• 55:39
  Somehow he was, he ended up he was involved in music at the
• 55:43
  church, at the church. And then he got like he was like
• 55:46
  a head person at Northridge, which is a pretty big first.
• 55:50
  He was like one of the three people that was like the head of
• 55:52
  the music thing. And it would have been a pretty
• 55:55
  cool project. But you know, it was literally
• 55:57
  just me and him, me and a guitar player.
• 55:59
  And it's hard, bro. That's the hardest thing about
• 56:01
  being in a band is having not efficiency, but just having
• 56:06
  everybody kind of be able to come together and, and be able
• 56:11
  to work on a schedule and kind of get that momentum going is
• 56:14
  really like the biggest thing, man.
• 56:15
  Because it even took us a little bit even like with the
• 56:18
  motivation and you know, the interests and the potential and
• 56:22
  all that. Like somehow you just have to
• 56:24
  like get this momentum churning. It's kind of like trying to
• 56:27
  start like a a Whirlpool or something.
• 56:29
  You're like fighting it at first.
• 56:30
  All these, you know, especially as you're older with all the
• 56:33
  resistance from, from life. So yeah, just whatever as a side
• 56:38
  note. But yeah, nothing, nothing of of
• 56:42
  tangible whatever came from any of the side projects.
• 56:50
  All right, Shane, what what side pieces do you have?
• 56:53
  When are we dreaming? Was on a break.
• 56:57
  I really didn't have any side projects.
• 56:59
  I mean, me and I think me and Danny just we've always just
• 57:02
  worked on music together. So we've had collaboration songs
• 57:05
  like, you know, throughout just us hanging out together and like
• 57:09
  just writing music because we've just done that all our lives.
• 57:12
  I would say the only other thing that I had been involved in was
• 57:18
  I did a cover show couple years ago for the fanfare.
• 57:23
  Me and Terrence, our bass player along with Kyle Greener who is
• 57:29
  currently drumming for Boys of Fall.
• 57:31
  Then another one of our mutual friends.
• 57:33
  We did a cover of Moose Blood songs for the 10 year fanfare.
• 57:37
  And then the following year I was asked to be the guitar
• 57:40
  player for a Mayday Parade cover show with Jake and Dan from boys
• 57:45
  of Fall with Kyle on drums. And I was going to do that show,
• 57:50
  but I had something had just happened with my, my house, like
• 57:53
  my, my mortgage went up and whatever.
• 57:55
  And I at the time didn't make enough money to cover it.
• 57:57
  And I was like, and with Ray being a full time student, I was
• 58:01
  like, Oh, dude, there's no way I'm going to be able to do this.
• 58:03
  I'm going to have to start working on the weekends or
• 58:05
  picking up something else to like supplement my income.
• 58:07
  And then we were also working on are we dreaming stuff at the
• 58:10
  time? So unfortunately I had to back
• 58:11
  out of that show because I was like, I just had too much going
• 58:13
  on and with what I'm not sacrificing to like financially
• 58:17
  be sound and secure, I'm dedicating to Are we dreaming?
• 58:21
  So I just couldn't make that project work, unfortunately, but
• 58:23
  it was it was a cool opportunity, but they they ended
• 58:26
  up making it work out anyway. So it wasn't it wasn't a big
• 58:28
  deal that I wasn't a part of it, but it would have been cool
• 58:30
  nonetheless because it was the fall of cool dudes and they make
• 58:33
  great music. So it would have been nice to
• 58:35
  hang out with Jake and Dan, but. I will say that that that kind
• 58:40
  of indirectly brought Terrence to us.
• 58:42
  I have a feeling correct because we were looking for a bass
• 58:45
  player and he knew him from playing.
• 58:47
  Their project was called Green and Alive.
• 58:49
  I think. So since that Crowfoot show, he
• 58:53
  knew Terrence and here we are with and it's a whole new.
• 58:57
  Chapter So Terrence came on because we got asked to do
• 59:02
  creepy Cheapy last year in October and we did it in Day to
• 59:05
  Remember cover show for creepy cheapy and we didn't have a bass
• 59:09
  player at the time. And at the same time, like the
• 59:12
  week before creepy cheapy, we were going to do our own show
• 59:15
  and we were just going to run backing tracks for all the bass
• 59:17
  parts and whatever, but we needed a bass player for the Day
• 59:20
  to remember show. And so I messaged Kyle and I was
• 59:22
  like, hey, do you think that Terrence would want to do this?
• 59:25
  And Kyles like, absolutely, because he's been looking for
• 59:28
  something to do, You know, he's asking if anyone needs a bass
• 59:31
  player for the fanfare or whatever.
• 59:33
  And I was like, I'll just text Terrence and see what he wants
• 59:35
  to do. Texting me.
• 59:36
  He's like, I would definitely be down and I'm not shitting you in
• 59:39
  a week, dude. He learned our set and then the
• 59:42
  day to remember set like within a week and played it perfectly.
• 59:45
  Like when I say Terrance is good, he's very, very good.
• 59:48
  Picked up both of our sets, played him Florida State.
• 59:50
  Like he's he's a fantastic bass player.
• 59:52
  We're we're really stoked to have him.
• 59:54
  So but yeah, it was, it was cool that like that green and a live
• 59:57
  show that I did two years ago now brought our current bass
• 1:00:00
  player to us. And I didn't know it at the
• 1:00:02
  time, but like that connection was just made at that time and
• 1:00:05
  it ended up working out for the better.
• 1:00:06
  So that was just cool. Dude, hell yeah.
• 1:00:10
  That's awesome. All right?
• 1:00:13
  Who do you guys draw your inspiration from?
• 1:00:16
  Who are your primary inspirations?
• 1:00:20
  Boy, well, obviously I could just go on and on about
• 1:00:27
  Skrillex, but I'm going to just say Skrillex.
• 1:00:31
  I think he's the GOAT. I love I See Stars as well.
• 1:00:35
  They're another Michigan band and I, I personally listen to a
• 1:00:39
  lot of electronic music. It's funny that we make such
• 1:00:42
  like rock music because in my spare time, like I'm listening
• 1:00:45
  to like EDM pop, like Illenium and, and it just different
• 1:00:52
  artists like that. And so it's just kind of funny
• 1:00:55
  that, you know, we make such different music from that.
• 1:00:57
  But I think that's what makes it cool is that we definitely draw
• 1:01:01
  inspiration from different artists, sometimes ones that we
• 1:01:05
  don't even have in common. So yeah, I would say my biggest
• 1:01:09
  ones are Skrillex and IC Stars and drummers.
• 1:01:14
  I mean, I love the Rev from Avenged Sevenfold, RIP.
• 1:01:18
  He's definitely my favorite. Luke Collins amazing as well.
• 1:01:24
  And also he doesn't play drums anymore.
• 1:01:26
  But the old drummer Andrew Oliver for IC Stars, I don't
• 1:01:31
  think he enjoyed it as much as he enjoys being the programmer
• 1:01:34
  and the keys. I kind of share that Maybe one
• 1:01:38
  day I'll end up doing the keys as well.
• 1:01:41
  But his, his drumming has always been an inspiration for me, too.
• 1:01:45
  He's he's goaded. Nice.
• 1:01:49
  I'm going to stop there because I keep going.
• 1:01:51
  Chris, who inspires you to? Yeah, I had a feeling.
• 1:01:56
  A Day to Remember Chester Bennington.
• 1:01:59
  Obviously that's still in the part, but definitely Chester
• 1:02:02
  Bennington. You know, obviously Linkin Park
• 1:02:06
  was a hype kind of band back in the day, but it was pretty cool
• 1:02:09
  how at that point in time in my life I was able to like, but I
• 1:02:14
  remember one time I got into a fight with like the first
• 1:02:18
  girlfriend type of thing and I'm like, man, I don't know how to
• 1:02:21
  explain how I feel. Like I don't know how to tell
• 1:02:23
  you how I'm feeling. Literally it's like Linkin Park
• 1:02:26
  lyrics. I'm like, this is how I feel.
• 1:02:28
  And so, you know, and then later on I learned I have pretty bad
• 1:02:31
  anxiety, you know, like social anxiety, clinical anxiety, And
• 1:02:36
  so kind of being able to navigate my way through that by
• 1:02:41
  with those like his lyrics and stuff like that.
• 1:02:43
  And it kind of like brought that out to light for me was pretty
• 1:02:46
  cool, man. Being able to have like
• 1:02:48
  something to point out to say, man, this is how I actually
• 1:02:51
  feel. So definitely him for a lot of
• 1:02:53
  reasons. A day to remember.
• 1:02:55
  And then not even, yeah, I'll just say bear Juice.
• 1:02:59
  But it's it's all Caleb Shomo, right?
• 1:03:01
  So he's kind of like for me right now on the baseline of
• 1:03:07
  live performance, recorded performance, just bringing raw
• 1:03:12
  energy into the music you're making.
• 1:03:15
  And that has been a great. I mean, dude, if you can do that
• 1:03:20
  with whatever potential you have, your sound or whatever, if
• 1:03:22
  you can find a way to convey like the energy and the raw
• 1:03:27
  motion, it just takes it to a level that is it's just, it's
• 1:03:32
  unsurmountable, right? Like you can't, you're not going
• 1:03:35
  to be, no matter how well you sing a song, it's never going to
• 1:03:38
  hit. It's hard if you're if you're
• 1:03:42
  just singing it well versus if you're singing it with
• 1:03:44
  conviction and with like fire. And so I kind of drew a lot of
• 1:03:49
  that inspiration from him recently, kind of realizing and
• 1:03:53
  paying attention to what he's doing.
• 1:03:54
  So yeah, those would be my 3. Yeah, man, the the the presence
• 1:04:00
  and the raw motion it definitely it makes a huge difference.
• 1:04:05
  It's. Massive.
• 1:04:08
  Yeah. All right, Shane, who inspires
• 1:04:11
  you to be the string daddy? I guess from a player
• 1:04:16
  standpoint, the 3:00 I could probably pick off right off the
• 1:04:21
  top of my head would be David Gilmour from Pink Floyd is my
• 1:04:26
  all time favorite guitar player. I I've always liked his style
• 1:04:30
  over like some virtuoso that just shreds because it's like I
• 1:04:35
  I like that he can deliver the emotion that he does with so
• 1:04:39
  little as far as as as opposed to like, you know, someone that
• 1:04:42
  just like nails out of this crazy fast solo, you know, but
• 1:04:46
  that's all we also really impressive.
• 1:04:48
  But David Gilmour always, you know, really inspired me for
• 1:04:51
  that reason. So if I do a solo, I try to make
• 1:04:54
  it more meaningful rather than like as as shreddy as I could
• 1:04:57
  possibly make it. And then I guess as far as like
• 1:05:01
  my risk, I really draw a lot of inspiration from Will Swan of
• 1:05:06
  Dance Gavin Dance because his writing styles always been so
• 1:05:10
  unique to me. And it's just, dude, he's so
• 1:05:13
  good. Like just no matter what he
• 1:05:15
  does, like any project that he's a part of his, his riffs are
• 1:05:19
  just so, so cool, dude. No matter what he's doing.
• 1:05:22
  And it's like, I always like the idea because I've, I've watched
• 1:05:26
  him do interviews where he talks about like, like his play style
• 1:05:29
  and whatever. And he said before that like he
• 1:05:31
  always just sticks to just just standard tuning.
• 1:05:33
  Like no matter what, it's like standard tuning.
• 1:05:35
  Maybe he'll variate it a little bit to like drop D or something
• 1:05:38
  like that. But like he's like, you could
• 1:05:40
  play anything and like drop D or standard tuning and like just
• 1:05:44
  just play it and be confident with it.
• 1:05:45
  But you can make anything and and standard tuning, you don't
• 1:05:48
  have to like tuned all these crazy different tunings like
• 1:05:51
  some bands are doing nowadays. And there's nothing wrong with
• 1:05:53
  that sound because I love that sound.
• 1:05:55
  But personally for me, I don't like good in that type of like
• 1:05:58
  environment, you know, like I'll never get it.
• 1:06:00
  Like, you know, an 8 string guitar just be like slamming on
• 1:06:04
  the low string all day. That's not going to be me
• 1:06:06
  because I like I like the inflection that those chords can
• 1:06:10
  add with these like, you know, pretty notes and stuff over top
• 1:06:13
  of them. And then I would say Aaron
• 1:06:16
  Marshall of Intervals is probably my other favorite.
• 1:06:18
  I think Terence would also attest to that from like a
• 1:06:21
  instrumental standpoint, like Aaron's.
• 1:06:24
  Aaron's riffs and his solos are very like technical and precise.
• 1:06:28
  And I think me and Terence both kind of like that style and you
• 1:06:33
  can kind of hear it a little bit in the fight together riff.
• 1:06:35
  Like when I when I wrote it, I was kind of more inspired by
• 1:06:38
  like this Prague metal kind of like style and stuff.
• 1:06:41
  So trying to incorporate like, you know, these little like
• 1:06:44
  obligato runs and stuff like that or like pull off riffs and
• 1:06:48
  stuff. Just trying to add a little bit
• 1:06:50
  of flavor to a riff as opposed to like the new song, which is
• 1:06:52
  just straight up jamming, you know.
• 1:06:54
  But yeah, Aaron Marshall probably would be my my other
• 1:06:56
  top three guitar player for sure.
• 1:07:00
  Nice. All right.
• 1:07:02
  What are you guys end goal? What is what is making it?
• 1:07:06
  What is success? What is your aspiration for this
• 1:07:09
  current version of Are We Dreaming?
• 1:07:14
  Are we still going in in order? I mean.
• 1:07:18
  We can. I would hope that you guys are
• 1:07:20
  all relatively on the same page with that answer.
• 1:07:23
  Yeah, I mean I. Think we are.
• 1:07:25
  I think there's just different levels that define like what is
• 1:07:28
  success to us individually. You know what?
• 1:07:30
  I. Mean, mark my words, we're
• 1:07:31
  taking over the world. That's exactly right.
• 1:07:35
  They're doing. Pretty much.
• 1:07:37
  Pretty much. I would love to see millions of
• 1:07:42
  people in other countries knowing are we dreaming?
• 1:07:44
  But specifically for me, what would count as success for me,
• 1:07:49
  Like these moments where it's like, Oh my God, I, I made it or
• 1:07:52
  whatever. I thought it would be like
• 1:07:55
  playing at a certain place or whatever.
• 1:07:58
  But really, I would love to receive like a message of
• 1:08:03
  someone being really moved by one of our songs or like it
• 1:08:06
  better yet inspired them to create their own art.
• 1:08:09
  And they're like, hey, look at the art that I made because of
• 1:08:12
  you, because of you pushing through your creative blocks.
• 1:08:15
  It inspired me down the line to create.
• 1:08:17
  I would say that that is my biggest motivator, the love and
• 1:08:24
  inspiration of strangers, really.
• 1:08:30
  All right, it's all live baby, it's all live man.
• 1:08:34
  I love I love you know the energy like the idea of getting
• 1:08:38
  to a .1 day of playing a bigger show and being able to not just
• 1:08:43
  you know, when you're a small and you're local, you're just
• 1:08:45
  you're playing your song and you're trying to interact, but
• 1:08:48
  it's it's a lot of the time unless you're doing the cover,
• 1:08:51
  it's very one sided. So the idea of getting to the
• 1:08:54
  point where you're playing a bigger show and it's, it's kind
• 1:08:57
  of a give and take type of thing and you can give all your energy
• 1:09:00
  and you know, like that's your song.
• 1:09:02
  Like people are going crazy too. So for me, there's the live
• 1:09:06
  aspect that's kind of it. And then the other aspect of it
• 1:09:09
  is just, you know, lyrically trying to put stuff out there
• 1:09:13
  that is very motivating to help people identify feelings and
• 1:09:20
  emotions and kind of work their way through some stuff with a
• 1:09:24
  positive twist on it. Because a lot of the times you
• 1:09:26
  get into like deeply emotional songs that are kind of rooted in
• 1:09:31
  depression and anxiety and different things.
• 1:09:33
  Most of the time they kind of remain negative.
• 1:09:37
  So I think the idea for me is to try to shed light on it, but
• 1:09:42
  also in a way that is constructive.
• 1:09:45
  And so if I can do that and have somebody, you know, have an
• 1:09:48
  outlet to be able to, you know, no, there's, there's a positive
• 1:09:53
  outcome. That's kind of my goal
• 1:09:56
  lyrically. I'd say I'm a culmination of
• 1:10:01
  both of them. I want to my my end goal would
• 1:10:04
  be playing red rocks amphitheater and then have some
• 1:10:07
  kid come up to me after the show and say your song saved me from
• 1:10:10
  ending my life or something like that.
• 1:10:12
  Like you guys are are one of the reasons I stay alive.
• 1:10:14
  I would be like, that's it. That's I I'm good, you know, so.
• 1:10:19
  In All in all honesty, I feel like also there's no real end.
• 1:10:23
  Like, you know, we'll keep doing it as long as people want to
• 1:10:26
  listen, is how I. I want to quit my job, bro.
• 1:10:29
  I don't want to work in a factory anymore.
• 1:10:31
  I don't want to work for these people.
• 1:10:33
  Mean people. Yeah, I mean dude, on top of
• 1:10:36
  everything else. Like, bro, Get Me Out.
• 1:10:39
  You know what I'm saying? All right boys, when the fuck
• 1:10:47
  are we getting a full album? That's a great question.
• 1:10:52
  I will say a full album, we've talked about it as we're, you
• 1:10:58
  know, we just got the new bass player.
• 1:10:59
  So our sounds changing, we're evolving and we're working
• 1:11:02
  Better Together. We've talked about a full length
• 1:11:04
  album loosely, but I will say that we have a larger body of
• 1:11:11
  music coming out in the next couple months.
• 1:11:16
  And I will even go so far as to say that if you're a real fan,
• 1:11:21
  if you're like a super fan, you could even find out what this
• 1:11:26
  combination of music is going to be called and what it's going to
• 1:11:29
  be about. It's hidden in the songs so you
• 1:11:33
  can have fun with that. Well, there goes all my free
• 1:11:39
  time for the next two fucking weeks.
• 1:11:41
  Thanks, Danny. Right.
• 1:11:43
  What does he mean? He keeps saying the.
• 1:11:48
  He keeps saying though. What does dot mean exactly dude?
• 1:11:53
  There's that one part in the song, Chris goes, and I don't
• 1:11:57
  know what it means. Somebody help?
• 1:11:59
  Somebody help me. You got to a just use AI bro,
• 1:12:02
  you know what I'm saying? You got the tools.
• 1:12:04
  You got. The tools to make that happen?
• 1:12:06
  AI try to figure it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's crazy.
• 1:12:13
  But now if you want a little bit more of a the fine answer on
• 1:12:15
  that, I think nowadays, God, especially with the way that
• 1:12:20
  social media, here's the thing, bro, with music nowadays, man,
• 1:12:24
  it's playing shows, honestly, in the beginning pays such little
• 1:12:29
  dividends as compared to how you kind of promote yourself on
• 1:12:34
  social media, which is really unfortunate because it's, it's
• 1:12:37
  pretty disingenuous in a lot of ways.
• 1:12:41
  And I think it just there's so much saturation and so much you
• 1:12:46
  have everybody trying to kind of get in on it with all this, all
• 1:12:51
  this kind of watered down music. It kind of sucks, man.
• 1:12:54
  But at the end of the day, you kind of have to get to this
• 1:12:57
  point where you're releasing music so fast, you end up
• 1:13:01
  releasing singles and, and that's kind of what it is right
• 1:13:05
  now, man. Like, And so I think we're we're
• 1:13:08
  going to be releasing some bodies of work coming up, but I
• 1:13:12
  think you'll see a decent amount of singles.
• 1:13:14
  And then hopefully if we get to the point where there's like
• 1:13:17
  some type of record label or some type of back in that allows
• 1:13:21
  us to have more time to commit and maybe like a financial
• 1:13:24
  assistance to get into a studio and just go and play the music.
• 1:13:28
  Because man, like when you're producing and having to do all
• 1:13:32
  of it, it, it just, there's so much, it weighs so much more on
• 1:13:35
  you, right? Because you're not just
• 1:13:36
  performing, you're also analyzing the whole time.
• 1:13:41
  So it just makes everything so much more difficult.
• 1:13:44
  So I think you see a lot of singles and then some bigger
• 1:13:48
  bodies here and there. And then I hope to God we have a
• 1:13:51
  formula. We're going to try to really
• 1:13:52
  push it with social media so we can kind of take bigger steps,
• 1:13:55
  man, and get to the point where we can release a larger body
• 1:14:00
  for. Should we tell them about the
• 1:14:04
  cover? I don't know if they're ready
• 1:14:08
  for that. Why not?
• 1:14:10
  You know what? Speak it.
• 1:14:11
  Speak it into existence. That way it has to happen.
• 1:14:14
  Oh, it already has to. I mean, it has to happen, but
• 1:14:16
  you know what I'm saying? Put some more pressure.
• 1:14:18
  I like putting pressure on. I could make it into a Riddle,
• 1:14:22
  but I'm not smart enough. It shares a word with our with
• 1:14:25
  our bands. I don't think anybody wants it
• 1:14:27
  that bad. That's that's what I know.
• 1:14:30
  This summer, July, we'll be doing Dreams by Van Halen, so
• 1:14:35
  that'll be our first like, official cover, fully produced
• 1:14:39
  by us. So that's something.
• 1:14:42
  It's not an album, but it's something.
• 1:14:44
  Hell yeah. And here I thought you were
• 1:14:46
  going to tell me that you were doing something off the Homesick
• 1:14:49
  record. We already played that live, I
• 1:14:52
  mean. Right.
• 1:14:55
  That's true. And you know what?
• 1:14:56
  I remember doing vocals with you guys back in the day at a
• 1:15:01
  birthday party in the fucking garage.
• 1:15:04
  Yeah, I'm getting what? Was that plot to bomb the
• 1:15:07
  Panhandle? Yep, I think so.
• 1:15:10
  Yeah, I think that's exactly. What we did, it killed me when
• 1:15:12
  you had the chance. Something like that.
• 1:15:14
  See this dude. One of one of those two.
• 1:15:18
  Are you guys in this? Are you on a Candy candy crave
• 1:15:21
  right now? No dude my the mini savers
• 1:15:24
  listen to me for free bro. I never don't eat him.
• 1:15:26
  He's going to kill you. Are they?
• 1:15:29
  They're unwrapped, right? Yeah, dude.
• 1:15:31
  So I mean, how do you lose? Yeah, how can you?
• 1:15:33
  You can just funnel the whole pack in your mouth.
• 1:15:35
  Dude, that's the idea? Hell yeah.
• 1:15:40
  All right, so Danny, you talked about how one of your roles in
• 1:15:45
  the band is producing. Well, in talking to you guys,
• 1:15:51
  I've also heard that you guys have started shifting tracks way
• 1:15:55
  down under to get a second set of ears on them.
• 1:16:01
  Yeah, so through and fight together we mixed and mastered.
• 1:16:05
  I mixed and mastered. And it was extremely hard
• 1:16:08
  because when you listen to your own music for 100 plus times,
• 1:16:13
  turns out that you're not objective anymore and it's
• 1:16:15
  really hard to make objective decisions.
• 1:16:18
  And so we started to ship out our music.
• 1:16:21
  Ship out. Such a weird way to say it, like
• 1:16:24
  we're just sending it across the seas.
• 1:16:27
  We are literally yeah. To a man named Rise Zacker, I
• 1:16:32
  think that's how you say his first name Rise Zacker, but he's
• 1:16:34
  from Spin Light Studios, which, which is a YouTube channel that
• 1:16:38
  I watched and, and for many years and he gives production
• 1:16:43
  tips, mixing and mastering tips. And so I just got in contact
• 1:16:46
  with him and we worked it out. So now I'm sending a all of our
• 1:16:53
  produced music to him. Gators, the Gators Loose and the
• 1:16:57
  new one Nightfall have been mixed and mastered by him and
• 1:17:01
  he's been very patient with us, even with all of our revisions.
• 1:17:04
  He'll do all this masterful work and then we'll just be like
• 1:17:07
  actually make it sound like the demo.
• 1:17:10
  But he's been just a GOAT about understanding that and just
• 1:17:15
  knowing that, you know, he's very professional about it.
• 1:17:20
  He knows that it's our song and he just wants to do a good job.
• 1:17:22
  And that's what I love about him.
• 1:17:24
  So shout out to Spin Light Studio for sure.
• 1:17:27
  Ryze, if you ever see this, we love you.
• 1:17:30
  Thank you. When this goes live, you need to
• 1:17:32
  you need to send it to him. I will.
• 1:17:34
  Right. All right, so we kind of touched
• 1:17:41
  on it, but the new song Nightfall, that shit made my
• 1:17:45
  Dick heavy. I fucking love that song so
• 1:17:51
  much. Hell yeah.
• 1:17:52
  Thank you. And honestly, before Bill Murray
• 1:17:56
  released their new song, With a Day to Remember, that was.
• 1:17:59
  The That's such a good trap. Dude it's so good.
• 1:18:02
  That was the top song in my like songs on on Spotify, so every
• 1:18:06
  time I turn that shit on it was another play.
• 1:18:09
  Just right there. Yeah, Hell.
• 1:18:11
  Yeah, because it's #2 it still gets a play, like every goddamn
• 1:18:16
  time. I'm glad.
• 1:18:19
  Sounds like it has replay value, which means we did our job.
• 1:18:23
  Dude, I, I fucking love it. And I think for me like the fact
• 1:18:27
  that it is a little bit heavier than the previous songs.
• 1:18:31
  And really, Chris, the difference in your vocals on
• 1:18:34
  this song, like that shit resonates.
• 1:18:39
  It scratches a brain wrinkle that I forgot that I had, and I
• 1:18:43
  fucking love it. I love that.
• 1:18:46
  I don't mean to sit here and suck your guy's Dick, but that
• 1:18:48
  song is fucking fire, boys. It's fucking sick and I love it
• 1:18:52
  so much dude. I think you're going to be blown
• 1:18:55
  away by some of the next releases too, if you like that.
• 1:18:58
  That's so super cool. Super.
• 1:19:02
  Thank you. Yeah, I really appreciate it.
• 1:19:07
  It yelled at. You're getting yelled at.
• 1:19:11
  I was, I was listening to it in the car.
• 1:19:15
  So my girlfriend does not listen to the same music that I listen
• 1:19:19
  to. And I put it on.
• 1:19:23
  I was, I was, I was excited because we were having you guys
• 1:19:27
  on. So I was, I was listening to
• 1:19:28
  your guys's stuff and I was listening to the new track.
• 1:19:31
  And, and I do, I've been like the the heaviness of it, but
• 1:19:36
  this poor girl had already sat through like some Lamb of God,
• 1:19:38
  some white Chapel. Some sort of?
• 1:19:41
  All that stuff, you know? And then I put that on and she
• 1:19:44
  was already like 1. She was carsick.
• 1:19:46
  She was over the car ride and I had that on.
• 1:19:52
  I got yelled at. It was pretty funny.
• 1:19:55
  That's funny. My fiance, my fiance, she like,
• 1:19:59
  she likes like heavy music and like screaming and stuff like
• 1:20:01
  that. But she was not really like into
• 1:20:03
  deathcore or anything like that. And every time I put it on,
• 1:20:06
  she'd just be like, it's, it's all right, but it's kind of
• 1:20:08
  creepy. And I'm just like, yeah, I get
• 1:20:09
  it, you know. Like I'd be listening to like,
• 1:20:11
  you know, White Chapel, Slaughter to Prevail, something
• 1:20:13
  like that. And she'd just be like, that's
• 1:20:15
  not really for me. I put on my artist Murder the
• 1:20:17
  other day, Reign of Darkness, and we're driving home and then
• 1:20:20
  she she goes, I kind of like this song.
• 1:20:22
  I was like. Hell yes, dude.
• 1:20:27
  It's working. It's a gateway band.
• 1:20:29
  Well, it's a gateway song. Still can't believe they got rid
• 1:20:32
  of CJ man like that. That shit is crazy.
• 1:20:35
  Yeah. Lyard is dead without fucking
• 1:20:37
  CJD. Lyard is dead, so.
• 1:20:41
  I was pissed like I dude fucking.
• 1:20:44
  I met CJ at mayhem fest. He was cool as fuck dude.
• 1:20:48
  He was like coming down and like teaching people like the
• 1:20:50
  importance of like not stressing your voice out.
• 1:20:53
  Like if you like, if it starts to hurt, stop.
• 1:20:55
  Slow it down, take your time, fuck your voice up.
• 1:20:58
  Like it was pretty cool. Like he was just giving free
• 1:21:00
  advice. It was sick.
• 1:21:02
  He was a sick. Dude, yeah, Aloe water, bro.
• 1:21:05
  Aloe Water. Aloe.
• 1:21:07
  Water, honey and not being an idiot.
• 1:21:14
  Oh, that, that last one might be a bridge too far.
• 1:21:16
  Funny. A bit too far.
• 1:21:20
  I like to yell and scream too, bro.
• 1:21:21
  I I have too much fun in life sometimes.
• 1:21:25
  It's not got to protect the pipes.
• 1:21:30
  Yeah, for sure. All right, so I have a Shane,
• 1:21:32
  probably Shane specific song because Terence didn't hear.
• 1:21:35
  What tuning do you guys play in? So everything has been in drop
• 1:21:40
  C# so far. We've kind of pretty much always
• 1:21:45
  been in that tuning. Like even way back in the day,
• 1:21:47
  the oldest like are we dreaming songs that we've came up with?
• 1:21:50
  We're in drop C# and that's kind of just where we be stuck at.
• 1:21:54
  I've always kind of just gravitated towards that tuning.
• 1:21:57
  Like I remember when I was first getting introduced to like, you
• 1:22:01
  know, metal core and hardcore music and whatever.
• 1:22:03
  Chris was showing me like some songs that he had saved on the
• 1:22:05
  iPod and the one that caught my attention was Why 6 is Afraid of
• 1:22:09
  Seven by before their Eyes. If anyone remembers them, like
• 1:22:13
  amazing song. That album is fucking
• 1:22:16
  incredible. But like that whole album, their
• 1:22:18
  whole sound was all drop C# and then like, you know, stick
• 1:22:21
  Stickley Attack Attack like the whole someday came suddenly
• 1:22:24
  album like that. Those two albums kind of like
• 1:22:27
  ingrained drop C# into my brain and ever since then I was like,
• 1:22:30
  I want to sound like that. So like ever since then I just
• 1:22:33
  I've been drop C# pretty much ever since.
• 1:22:36
  We've experimented with some other tunings and in the future
• 1:22:38
  there will probably be some songs that will be in like other
• 1:22:41
  tunings. But even if we do branch out to
• 1:22:44
  other tunings, C# is probably always just going to be like
• 1:22:47
  home base for us. Like, you know, no matter where
• 1:22:49
  we, where we venture off, it's always going to be like the
• 1:22:51
  point that we return home to. So it's it's one constant tuning
• 1:22:55
  and one sound that you can always expect from us is
• 1:22:57
  probably drop C# for sure. So fun story about Drop C#.
• 1:23:03
  We the redeemed wrote all of our songs in Drop C# as well.
• 1:23:08
  That was that was our baseline tuning, except we played them
• 1:23:13
  all live in Drop C because we're fucking idiots.
• 1:23:20
  And that has been a huge pain in the ass because we're talking
• 1:23:24
  about re recording a couple We the Redeemed songs and trying to
• 1:23:33
  remember the chord progression in like it's not orange, It's
• 1:23:37
  euchre is a fucking nightmare because I'm trying to follow
• 1:23:41
  along and drop C now to a song that was written in drop C# like
• 1:23:47
  15 fucking years ago. And I.
• 1:23:51
  I think. Play guitar then.
• 1:23:53
  I think the demo that you sent like it.
• 1:23:55
  Translates I. Think those.
• 1:23:56
  Were in drop C#. I'm pretty sure when I listen to
• 1:23:59
  it's not orange at euchre. It was in drop C though, like
• 1:24:02
  I'm, I think it was already recorded in drop C, So I think
• 1:24:05
  you, I think you guys were fine playing it in drop C.
• 1:24:08
  All right. Well, that's good.
• 1:24:09
  At least that's what I learned. I could have been wrong.
• 1:24:11
  I'm not in the band so. 22 minutes with a guitar in his
• 1:24:14
  hand. Shane could figure that song
• 1:24:16
  out. Just.
• 1:24:17
  Yeah, just he's too modest to say.
• 1:24:18
  But like he, he can tell me the pitch of like this fucking cup.
• 1:24:24
  I, I don't, I don't have like perfect pitch.
• 1:24:26
  It's like I don't remember what the other one is called.
• 1:24:28
  But it's like where you can like you hear a note and then you can
• 1:24:31
  like, like hear the relevant notes in like the scale or
• 1:24:35
  something. And then you can identify like
• 1:24:37
  what the note is like perfect pitches.
• 1:24:39
  Like, like Daddy said, like if you're flicking at a cup, they
• 1:24:41
  can just tell you exactly what that note is like without even
• 1:24:43
  thinking about it. I have to like, think about it a
• 1:24:45
  little bit, but like, like I can hear a song and then I can tell
• 1:24:49
  you what tuning they're playing in, like what key it's in and
• 1:24:51
  stuff like that. Because I've played in a million
• 1:24:53
  different tunings and like, I just experimented with that
• 1:24:56
  stuff. So I kind of just know in my
• 1:24:57
  brain how it sounds, you know? Yeah, that's something that I, I
• 1:25:03
  definitely don't have the ear for.
• 1:25:05
  Like, do I? I played fucking bass and
• 1:25:07
  dropsy, like it was all tabs and the running joke was like, ride
• 1:25:12
  the two and I'll tell you what to do, or ride the four and wait
• 1:25:16
  for more. And if you listen to those old
• 1:25:18
  songs, that's exactly what the fuck was going on.
• 1:25:21
  That's funny. All right, so that wraps up our
• 1:25:27
  our serious. Now we're going to get back to
• 1:25:30
  true form for the Three Damn Dudes podcast.
• 1:25:36
  All right, is it safe to mouth kiss groupies or where?
• 1:25:43
  Where are we at with that? Absolutely.
• 1:25:45
  No. I'm going to say absolutely not.
• 1:25:48
  I don't thought you'd get what is it called?
• 1:25:50
  Not herpes. No, that's herpes.
• 1:25:53
  Nothing but bad things can happen.
• 1:25:56
  Is it herpes like a canker sore or something like that?
• 1:26:00
  That's herpes. No, we don't even have droopies.
• 1:26:02
  But even if if that was a possibility, no.
• 1:26:07
  I fucking love how Shane's the one that pipes up and goes.
• 1:26:11
  Oh, yeah. No, no, no, that's, that's
• 1:26:12
  that's not herpes. He's an expert in the field.
• 1:26:19
  We've got our expert herpes in the field shake.
• 1:26:24
  Oh, that's. Herpes no.
• 1:26:26
  Right. How did you get it there?
• 1:26:31
  Right. All right, Danny, this question
• 1:26:35
  is exclusively for you and I guess for anybody else.
• 1:26:38
  If they want to pipe up afterward, the folks, the folks
• 1:26:43
  at home want to know. And by the folks at home, I'm
• 1:26:47
  talking about nobody, because I asked nobody about these
• 1:26:49
  questions except for me. So apparently I want to know
• 1:26:52
  what did a shooter drum throne smell like after practice?
• 1:26:57
  Dude. Specifically after practice.
• 1:27:01
  After practice or after a show, Chrissy.
• 1:27:05
  Like I'll tell you right now. He said I can answer so fast, as
• 1:27:10
  if he's just smelled it so many times.
• 1:27:12
  Hey. You guys got that 5D smell of
• 1:27:16
  vision right now? 5D smell vision.
• 1:27:21
  I can tell you right now. I'll take one for the team.
• 1:27:24
  How does it smell? This smells like cabbage and
• 1:27:27
  asparagus. What?
• 1:27:30
  That's an Indian food bro. And that's like a week.
• 1:27:36
  That's like a week, but cold. The chairs.
• 1:27:38
  Indian food lingers, man. Oh my God.
• 1:27:44
  Especially when you're shouldn't, when you think it's
• 1:27:46
  going to be a fart. Yep dude, that breakdown goes
• 1:27:52
  hard. He sounds like you should his
• 1:27:54
  pants. I did.
• 1:27:56
  I will say like, it's the secret when I'm drumming.
• 1:28:00
  Especially fall out now. Yes.
• 1:28:04
  I will say on the harder songs. I will say on the harder songs I
• 1:28:10
  get insane just lower back sweat it.
• 1:28:13
  It's like localized to my lower back so maybe there's some
• 1:28:17
  runoff. I don't know.
• 1:28:18
  I never planned on smelling it. I I was going to gloss over this
• 1:28:20
  question honestly, but. All right, and for Shane, I
• 1:28:30
  couldn't think of anything clever that was also
• 1:28:32
  embarrassing. But hey Daddy, what them fingers
• 1:28:36
  do? They do whatever you want them
• 1:28:39
  to do. Yeah, but maybe not.
• 1:28:43
  They're long because I broke it, but.
• 1:28:45
  He does have long fingers. I do have long fingers.
• 1:28:49
  Dog, those are those are like 7 string fingers.
• 1:28:52
  What are you doing playing in? Here's the problem.
• 1:28:54
  Here's the problem though is that my thumb doesn't like.
• 1:28:57
  I don't have hitchhikers thumb so it like stays blocked.
• 1:29:00
  So like if I grab my guitar and I try to like put my thumb
• 1:29:04
  behind there and like play a chord or something, it doesn't
• 1:29:06
  work for me. So I'm always like wrapping my
• 1:29:09
  thumb over the top to play because I just had they're just
• 1:29:12
  too long, you know, and it's weird because I'm playing a
• 1:29:14
  Gibson, so I'm playing a shorter scale guitar.
• 1:29:16
  So you think the longer fingers I would want to play a longer
• 1:29:19
  scale guitar to like compensate for that.
• 1:29:21
  But there's a chord that we play in oops, the Gators loose and
• 1:29:25
  it's like this fucking thing like like, and it's just the
• 1:29:29
  it's the worst stretch ever. And my carpal tunnel is just the
• 1:29:32
  worst after practice when we play it.
• 1:29:34
  And I'm trying to do wrist stretches to avoid that, but I
• 1:29:38
  can't help because the cord is too pretty so.
• 1:29:40
  Exactly like the sexy chords are staying in.
• 1:29:43
  Like you can do the stretches but the chords.
• 1:29:45
  I would get wrist surgery before I stopped playing.
• 1:29:50
  I call them the sexy chords. Hell yeah.
• 1:29:53
  All right, Chris, this one's for you.
• 1:29:58
  You're supposed to one statement of fact.

  Good. Thank you, man.

  Damn, what is that damn seat cup to them boys, huh?

• 1:30:26
  When I know. I'll let you know I haven't

• 1:30:54
  Z. Oh, geez.
• 1:31:00
  Oh fuck yeah. It's a microphone.
• 1:31:07
  Yeah. I don't think I don't think raw
• 1:31:09
  vocals would translate well into the into the podcast anyway.
• 1:31:14
  There's a good chance that the the I.
• 1:31:16
  Don't know, you sounded pretty decent, Mike, he said.
• 1:31:21
  Nope. No, I still want to hear Danny's
• 1:31:26
  high fry, but I guess we'll we'll save that.
• 1:31:30
  It's in, It's in. Oops.
• 1:31:31
  The gate is loose after the first chorus.
• 1:31:36
  I. Listening.
• 1:31:38
  You'll hear it in. You'll hear it in person too.
• 1:31:40
  Yeah, you're damn right. Yeah, you are damn right.
• 1:31:43
  And I'll practice. Everybody will just scream on
• 1:31:46
  the track. Just everybody.
• 1:31:48
  Yeah, it's gonna be crowd vocals, but it's all gonna be
• 1:31:51
  scream. So we're.
• 1:31:54
  Gonna have to figure out who goes high, who goes mid and who
• 1:31:56
  goes low and that is gonna be the thickest fucking scream
• 1:32:02
  you've ever fucking heard. It's gonna be like screamo Doo
• 1:32:04
  wop, dude. Yeah, I'm gonna love it.
• 1:32:09
  We'll let you guys do it. I'm gonna hang back just so I
• 1:32:13
  can hear the the combination of your guys voices together.
• 1:32:17
  Tomfoolery. It's going to sound like a fart
• 1:32:21
  that you shouldn't have trusted. We've we've talked, we've
• 1:32:24
  covered that in deep and and grand, you know.
• 1:32:29
  I don't know. I don't.
• 1:32:30
  Think we've talked about it enough?
• 1:32:33
  My brain is fine. It's so crap past Chris's
• 1:32:38
  bedtime. Yeah, let's talk about that.
• 1:32:40
  My bedtime's like 7:00. Well, you get up at 2:00 and.
• 1:32:44
  That's my commitment level for this.
• 1:32:47
  I got to wake up at 2:30 girls to go to the gym.
• 1:32:50
  That's not even a joke. And by the way, can I tell you
• 1:32:53
  something? These star, these Starbursts,
• 1:32:55
  these minis, honestly a disappointment and I'll tell you
• 1:32:58
  why. Two things, One, the the flavors
• 1:33:01
  together, it just doesn't do it. And then two, I can still taste
• 1:33:05
  the paper even though there isn't any.
• 1:33:08
  No. It's like locked into my brain,
• 1:33:11
  bro. You know when you get that
• 1:33:12
  little piece of paper that's still stuck on there and you're
• 1:33:14
  like, I'm just sending it anyway.
• 1:33:17
  It's not on there. But I'm telling you mentally.
• 1:33:20
  Oh man, sometimes I leave the paper on on purpose just to
• 1:33:24
  remind myself that life could always be worse, right?
• 1:33:28
  I like that man. I was going to say when you're
• 1:33:30
  eating starbursts like a first grader and just popping them in
• 1:33:32
  with the paper still on, you know you're.
• 1:33:35
  Going to have. You're going to have.
• 1:33:36
  Residual feelings and thoughts of the paper.
• 1:33:40
  That's fair. But all right, in honor of
• 1:33:43
  Chris's bedtime and as a show of appreciation for him staying up
• 1:33:48
  past bedtime to hang out with us and do this show, we will, we
• 1:33:54
  will get to wrapping this thing up, but I'm super excited.
• 1:34:01
  I'm super excited to to hang out with you guys in April.
• 1:34:04
  I'm super excited for literally anything or the absolute nothing
• 1:34:08
  that comes of that. I'm stoked selfishly to be back
• 1:34:14
  in an environment to make some fucking music again.
• 1:34:20
  So yeah, dudes, I'm, I'm, I don't have words.
• 1:34:25
  I, I don't. I'm so fucking excited.
• 1:34:30
  No, I'm, I'm very excited as well.
• 1:34:32
  I think we all are. Yeah, that's going to be great
• 1:34:34
  because even back in the day, I mean, you were, you were a big
• 1:34:36
  part of Are We Dreaming, you know, because your brother Jake
• 1:34:40
  was obviously the bassist at the time, and you were always
• 1:34:42
  present for practices. You were singing with us.
• 1:34:45
  It was just, you know, part of the fam.
• 1:34:48
  We're going to reunite. It's going to be good.
• 1:34:50
  Hell yeah, getting the boys. Back.
• 1:34:52
  If I could find that, if I could find that Buffalo hat that I
• 1:34:54
  had, I'd I'd. Give it to you, you love.
• 1:34:57
  That thing, yeah. You did.
• 1:34:59
  Every time it came over. I remember that man.
• 1:35:01
  You just conversed the ghost there.
• 1:35:03
  Then you ghost. There's a.
• 1:35:04
  Picture somewhere there's a picture somewhere like that
• 1:35:08
  exists of you and Josh at the merch table and you're wearing
• 1:35:11
  that buckle. I remember.
• 1:35:12
  That it was like the most iconic thing ever.
• 1:35:15
  I love it. Speaking of Josh, I'm planning
• 1:35:19
  on getting together with him on that trip back to Michigan as
• 1:35:22
  well. So.
• 1:35:24
  We'll have to. We'll have to figure out a
• 1:35:26
  fucking meet up left to pick a bar or restaurant or something
• 1:35:29
  and I'll go hang out at because the merch girls we remember.
• 1:35:35
  Yep. We remember manning that fucking
• 1:35:37
  merch table and flirting with all those dudes to sell those
• 1:35:40
  fucking wristbands, boys. I have shirts.
• 1:35:42
  Thank you. I still have some of the shirts.
• 1:35:47
  Somebody say words. I don't hear anything right now.
• 1:35:52
  Chris said he still has some of the shirt.
• 1:35:54
  All right, hang on to this day. You're like the white box,
• 1:36:00
  Melvin. He definitely didn't.
• 1:36:06
  Melvin Bueller. Bueller.
• 1:36:09
  Oh no. Oh no.
• 1:36:14
  Bluetooth. Hammock did go over the panel.
• 1:36:15
  Oh. No, no, hang on.
• 1:36:22
  Your headphones die, Don't worry.
• 1:36:24
  All those headphones he was like to brag about.
• 1:36:30
  I guess they didn't get staying in the.
• 1:36:34
  Somebody. You know what sucks, Mike?
• 1:36:37
  Hello. Oh, God, I can't fix it.
• 1:36:41
  Oh, no. Oh, no.
• 1:36:43
  All right, Jimmy, take us through, take us through a up
• 1:36:47
  and then just you guys awkwardly stare at me when it's time to
• 1:36:50
  actually fucking wrap this thing up.
• 1:36:52
  We're doing it live. Take us through a lot.
• 1:36:54
  I didn't even hear what he said. What'd he say?
• 1:36:56
  I. Think he said, an outro.
• 1:36:58
  An outro or something? He said wrap this thing up,
• 1:37:02
  Jimmy. Let's go make it happen.
• 1:37:05
  Well, Gavin's not here, so I can't say.
• 1:37:07
  From Gavin, from Mike, from Jimmy, we are the three damn
• 1:37:11
  dudes. But boys, I appreciate you guys
• 1:37:13
  hopping on with us. You guys are making some sick
• 1:37:16
  shit. I have been jamming to it in my
• 1:37:18
  car. So I do look forward to hearing
• 1:37:21
  you guys drop more music. Full album would be awesome.
• 1:37:25
  I'm hoping to be a family on the wall when you guys do do your
• 1:37:29
  guys's link up. So do you guys have any of that
• 1:37:33
  final thoughts before you guys before we hop off here?
• 1:37:38
  I just honestly wanted to thank you guys for having us on here.
• 1:37:41
  And of course, I wanted to shout out to Terrence for, you know,
• 1:37:45
  playing bass for us, even though he couldn't be here.
• 1:37:47
  He's super important to the band.
• 1:37:49
  Also, my partner Kelsey, she does all the artwork for Are We
• 1:37:52
  Dreaming? And I forgot to touch on that
• 1:37:55
  when we talked about the new song.
• 1:37:57
  So big shout out to her. You could follow her at Coleslaw
• 1:38:01
  and you can follow us at Are We Dreaming band on Instagram.
• 1:38:05
  And thank you. Yep, sweet.
• 1:38:07
  Sweet. Also want to shout out, our
• 1:38:09
  buddy Yaseen also works with Kelsey at their studio, their
• 1:38:14
  tattoo studio Rat King Studio. Yasin and Kelsey collaborated on
• 1:38:18
  our new logo that Chris designed, which is pretty cool,
• 1:38:22
  but they kind of perfected it with the design.
• 1:38:24
  So shout out to Yasin and Kelsey for a very sick logo that we
• 1:38:26
  have. Because yes.
• 1:38:33
  Christy, got anybody? Bro, I'm going to be real with
• 1:38:36
  you. I was like disconnecting and
• 1:38:38
  reconnecting the whole time you started that outro.
• 1:38:41
  I came in in the middle of Danny thinking Kelsey.
• 1:38:43
  So people, we want to thank. Yeah, just shout outs in
• 1:38:48
  general. They're shouting out final
• 1:38:50
  thoughts. You know, anything you got to
• 1:38:52
  say before we wrap it up? Shout out to you guys for having
• 1:38:57
  us on the show being cool dudes. Shout out to my boys.
• 1:39:01
  Shout out to all the people boys in the band, shout out to all
• 1:39:05
  the people like they said, you've seen Kelsey and the
• 1:39:09
  people in the studio and you know, all of our friends who are
• 1:39:12
  supporting us right now, man, all the little likes and shares.
• 1:39:15
  They all help well for us and obviously for for you guys.
• 1:39:18
  Do you know how it is? The little things kind of count
• 1:39:21
  in the beginning when you're trying to launch someone off.
• 1:39:23
  So thank you guys. Cool.
• 1:39:28
  So one thing before we end up what would be cool is if I don't
• 1:39:32
  know how it works, I know that there's like copyright and stuff
• 1:39:36
  like that. I don't know if you guys are
• 1:39:37
  hopefully you guys are copyright protected.
• 1:39:40
  If you guys are, if, if, if we could get somehow because
• 1:39:46
  because in order for us to like advertise you guys and play your
• 1:39:48
  guys's stuff like that, we have to have permission.
• 1:39:50
  Otherwise Spotify will take it down.
• 1:39:52
  So I don't know if there's a way in the future like because
• 1:39:55
  obviously we're going to have you guys back on, you know, talk
• 1:39:57
  about other releases and stuff. So later down the road, it would
• 1:40:00
  be cool to like get like a permission of some sort to like
• 1:40:03
  play your song so like our listeners can hear it.
• 1:40:05
  Kind of like a way to advertise you guys.
• 1:40:08
  I don't know how to go about that yet.
• 1:40:09
  So and I didn't get really. Just send them the stands bro.
• 1:40:13
  What's that? So just just send them the
• 1:40:16
  stands man, I will. Figure out how to do that for
• 1:40:20
  sure. Yeah, because because I know I
• 1:40:22
  was part of another show and we were, we were just vibing, we
• 1:40:26
  were hanging out, we were listening to songs and and
• 1:40:28
  Spotify doesn't really reach out to you, they just delete your
• 1:40:31
  whole episode, so. Oh wow, that's nice.
• 1:40:34
  Yeah, so I would hate to do like an episode like this and then
• 1:40:37
  like you're your guys's song and then all of a sudden they get
• 1:40:39
  deleted and then, you know, try to figure out how to get it back
• 1:40:42
  up. So I think there's a way where
• 1:40:44
  you can like I know there is with YouTube and Spotify might
• 1:40:49
  have been too, like cuz our opening song and our closing
• 1:40:52
  song and this podcast, we had to put, we had to put our legal
• 1:40:55
  rights and stuff. And that way we don't get
• 1:40:57
  flagged for it. Yeah.
• 1:40:59
  So if there's a way we can do that, that'd be cool because I
• 1:41:01
  would really like to play your guys's stuff on here to like,
• 1:41:04
  you know, so we can listen to it and then talk about it and like
• 1:41:06
  kind of jail it out. But I appreciate you got you got
• 1:41:10
  Jesus, words are hard. I appreciate you.
• 1:41:12
  It was cool talking to you guys. And so, but yeah, so from Gavin,
• 1:41:18
  from Mike and from myself, we are for the three damn dudes.
• 1:41:21
  And we thank you guys for coming up.
• 1:41:23
  Thanks. Thank you, guys.
• 1:41:24
  Thank. You guys for having us, God
• 1:41:26
  bless y'all.
