  for Austin FC in
• 1:06

• 1:09
  So first two points of the year.
• 1:10
  And speaking of the middle of March,
• 1:12
  we're in the middle of South by
• 1:13
  Southwest, which means,
• 1:15
  of course, music.
• 1:17
  And so much of it, not just
• 1:19
  music. We've got a bunch of events
• 1:21
  happening during this time.
• 1:22
  It's spring break.
• 1:23
  It's crazy.
• 1:24
  It's it's a little bit crazy if you
• 1:26
  try to do more than, like, two
• 1:27
  things at once.
• 1:28
  Oh, definitely.
• 1:29
  And Austin is trying to do seven
• 1:30
  things at the same time.
• 1:32
  So speaking of music, we brought
• 1:35
  Gyasi Zardes on the show today.
• 1:36
  Did you know he plays guitar
• 1:38
  and DJs?
• 1:39
  I didn't know until he was playing
• 1:41
  my guitar and telling us about
• 1:43
  his deejaying.
• 1:44
  And, and also
• 1:45
  speaking of deejays, we we we're
• 1:47
  like one DJ?
• 1:48
  that's not enough for a show during
• 1:49
  the middle of South by Southwest.
• 1:51
  Let's have four more.
• 1:53
  Another four.
• 1:54
  Yes.
• 1:54
  Which are only four of
• 1:56
  a bunch more within their own
• 1:58
  DJ collective.
• 1:59
  And we're deejay crazy here.
• 2:00
  It's DJ inception, deejays on
• 2:02
  deejays on deejays that make up
• 2:04
  the collective Peligrosa.
• 2:06
  And four of many who,
• 2:08
  rock the stadium as much as they
• 2:10
  can.
• 2:11
  Every home game, you can see them in
• 2:12
  the, by the zebra gate.
• 2:14
  All right. Our first guest is in
• 2:16
  his second season with Austin
• 2:18
  FC. After a long career of scoring
• 2:20
  goals with the L.A Galaxy,
• 2:22
  the Columbus Crew, and a short
• 2:24
  stint in Colorado,
• 2:26
  he is the 11th all time leading
• 2:28
  scorer in Major League Soccer
• 2:30
  history.
• 2:31
  He has two Major League
• 2:32
  Soccer championships.
• 2:34
  He has made 68
• 2:36
  appearances with the U.S.
• 2:37
  Men's National team, including one
• 2:39
  at Q2 Stadium in 2021,
• 2:41
  shortly after it opened, where he
• 2:43
  scored the winning goal over Qatar
• 2:45
  to push the team eventually
• 2:47
  to a Gold Cup title,
• 2:49
  his second on the national team.
• 2:52
  He is the man who bleached his hair
• 2:54
  so his grandma could figure out
• 2:56
  who he was on the pitch.
• 2:58
  He is Gyasi Zardes.
• 3:02
  So I guess
• 3:04
  we'll start with an easy question.
• 3:06
  Who do you hate most on the team?
• 3:10
  No, I, I don't hate anybody on the
• 3:12
  team, man.
• 3:13
  Really?
• 3:13
  Yeah.
• 3:14
  Everybody. Everyone.
• 3:15
  Yeah. I'm positive.
• 3:16
  I'm positive. And if you I mean,
• 3:18
  if you come across the team and
• 3:20
  you talk to the guys, the culture
• 3:22
  here, it's backed
• 3:24
  by that, that positivity.
• 3:25
  You know, we, we're in this together
• 3:28
  as soon as we, into
• 3:30
  the locker room, we're in this
• 3:30
  together. And especially the guys
• 3:32
  that step on the field, you know,
• 3:33
  the 11 guys on the field, they have
• 3:35
  each other's back.
• 3:36
  Because you got to think about
• 3:37
  it. Like, in today's society,
• 3:39
  people have such easy access
• 3:42
  to us, you know, as opposed to the
• 3:43
  guys back and,
• 3:45
  the late 90s, you know, where you
• 3:47
  can't get on, you know,
• 3:49
  an interview or you can't get on a
• 3:51
  social media platform to reach out
• 3:53
  to the players. So, you know,
• 3:54
  everybody get along here, and
• 3:56
  I'm cool with everybody.
• 3:59
  I feel like a lot of Austin
• 4:01
  fans, you know,
• 4:03
  kind of came into soccer when the
• 4:04
  team arrived. You know, they're
• 4:06
  they're not you know, basically
• 4:08
  the world before 2021
• 4:10
  is kind of a black box to them, you
• 4:11
  know. And
• 4:13
  so do you find it interesting
• 4:15
  that like, I mean, you
• 4:17
  are you're an international, a U.S.
• 4:19
  men's international.
• 4:20
  You are you you're one of 11 people
• 4:22
  to score 100 goals, you know, like,
• 4:25
  in MLS.
• 4:26
  Do you find it weird when you go out
• 4:27
  to dinner and whatnot that, like,
• 4:29
  you know, no one's?
• 4:31
  People asked like, I don't know, are
• 4:32
  you a musician? What's the worst
• 4:33
  thing that you get?
• 4:33
  Yeah.
• 4:34
  I think the worst was, a basketball
• 4:36
  player. I'm like, I'm only six foot.
• 4:38
  You know, how can I be a basketball
• 4:40
  player? That those guys are, like,
• 4:41
  six foot five, seven foot.
• 4:43
  But, yeah, you know, I,
• 4:45
  I've been toying around the city,
• 4:47
  and I go out to eat, if I'm not
• 4:48
  wearing a hat, you actually have,
• 4:50
  you know, people that have come up
• 4:51
  and they're they're very respectful
• 4:52
  here. You know, I've been in other
• 4:53
  cities where they're not respectful,
• 4:55
  you know, when I'm out with my family.
• 4:56
  But it's great that
• 4:58
  the people here, they actually
• 5:00
  understand soccer and and
• 5:02
  a lot of them attend actually our
• 5:04
  games. I have been to 1 or 2 games,
• 5:06
  you know, which is great because
• 5:08
  just to talk soccer with, like
• 5:10
  you said, American fans,
• 5:12
  if you look back, or not looked
• 5:13
  back. If I had an interaction with
• 5:15
  somebody like eight years ago.
• 5:18
  The depth of soccer is more European
• 5:20
  based. You know, we're talking about
• 5:21
  European soccer. But nowadays,
• 5:23
  when I come across a fan or someone,
• 5:25
  we're talking about American soccer,
• 5:26
  MLS, Austin FC, you know,
• 5:28
  and games we've played this year in
• 5:30
  previous years. So it's exciting.
• 5:32
  I have a list, here.
• 5:34
  These are the 11 guys with more than
• 5:36
  100 goals.
• 5:36
  Okay.
• 5:37
  And I think what's weird about this
• 5:39
  is the connection to you
• 5:41
  amongst them.
• 5:42
  This is just my own, you know, my
• 5:44
  own thought here.
• 5:45
  Yeah. So Landon
• 5:47
  Donovan, second
• 5:49
  former teammate.
• 5:51
  Then you have Bradley
• 5:52
  Wright-Phillips.
• 5:54
  You guys both had a cup
• 5:56
  of tea together. Yeah.
• 5:57
  Yeah.
• 5:58
  And then Edson Buddle
• 6:01
  another teammate.
• 6:02
  All these are, I mean, three of
• 6:04
  these people, we're working
• 6:06
  with you. One of them
• 6:08
  is you.
• 6:10
  And then Kai Kamara
• 6:12
  you guys have some hometown
• 6:13
  connection there.
• 6:15
  I don't mean I don't know.
• 6:16
  Do you guys hang out together?
• 6:17
  And have you ever made this this I'm
• 6:19
  sure you have at some point.
• 6:20
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 6:21
  Starting off with Landon Donovan,
• 6:23
  you know, I was lucky enough
• 6:25
  to obviously sign with
• 6:27
  my hometown club, L.A.
• 6:28
  Galaxy, but at the time,
• 6:30
  Landon Donovan was there, and he
• 6:32
  was a mentor of mine.
• 6:33
  You know, he kind of took me under
• 6:35
  his wing as I was growing up.
• 6:37
  Those early, those earlier
• 6:39
  years in my career, I played,
• 6:41
  you know, left, mid, right mid, but
• 6:44
  primarily left mid.
• 6:45
  And then I'll alternate with Landon,
• 6:47
  like, if he's up top and he's not
• 6:48
  getting a lot of touches on the
• 6:49
  ball, he'll come out to left mid
• 6:50
  like hey, can you switch.
• 6:52
  But you know during training
• 6:53
  sessions I used to always watch him
• 6:54
  and just listen to his advice.
• 6:55
  He would constantly give me advice
• 6:57
  and he was always willing to help
• 6:59
  me become a better player.
• 7:00
  You know, it wasn't it wasn't like a
• 7:02
  competition thing. It was more like,
• 7:03
  hey, G, you're on the team.
• 7:05
  I'm going to do what I can to help
• 7:06
  you be the best player you can be.
• 7:07
  And and, if
• 7:09
  you're the best player you can be,
• 7:10
  you can help this team, you know,
• 7:11
  win, championships.
• 7:13
  And I really respect that.
• 7:15
  And then we move on to, I think
• 7:16
  a year went by and then we signed Ed
• 7:18
  Zimbardo back to the team.
• 7:19
  And just to have another guy
• 7:21
  like Ed Zimbardo in the locker room
• 7:22
  and learn from him was great.
• 7:24
  You know, he was a guy that was
• 7:25
  always so positive, always smiling.
• 7:28
  You know, it was, I,
• 7:30
  I can't even remember a time he
• 7:32
  walked in mad or upset, you know,
• 7:34
  from a training session or a game.
• 7:35
  And so I just try to learn
• 7:37
  from a lot of those guys I consider
• 7:39
  legends of the game and try
• 7:41
  to implement, at least take one
• 7:43
  thing or two things from their game
• 7:45
  and apply it to, to my own.
• 7:47
  And I think that the, the last guy
• 7:49
  you mentioned was Kai Kamara.
• 7:50
  You know, I grew up in Hawthorne,
• 7:51
  California and Kai was a legend
• 7:53
  in Hawthorne, California, you know,
• 7:54
  still is.
• 7:56
  I went to Leuzinger High School.
• 7:57
  And I remember years, before
• 7:59
  I attended the school, he went to
• 8:01
  Leuzinger High School and, you know,
• 8:02
  part of his team.
• 8:03
  You know, they were doing huge
• 8:04
  things like, beating,
• 8:06
  beating high schools that, that we
• 8:08
  shouldn't even be beating,
• 8:10
  going to the, you know, the
• 8:11
  tournament,CIF I, I think it
• 8:13
  was called back the CIF tournaments.
• 8:15
  And not only that, he was the guy
• 8:17
  that I used to view myself as.
• 8:19
  Hey, he went pro, you
• 8:20
  know, he went to Leuzinger High
• 8:22
  School. I can do it too.
• 8:23
  And he would come back even.
• 8:25
  He played at Dominguez Hills.
• 8:26
  He signed, I believe, at Columbus
• 8:27
  Crew. But in the off season, he
• 8:29
  would come back to the high school
• 8:31
  and donate jerseys to us.
• 8:32
  So, and donate soccer gear to
• 8:34
  where, you know, that's kids
• 8:36
  growing up in Hawthorne were like,
• 8:38
  man, this is incredible.
• 8:39
  Like, we have, new
• 8:41
  Adidas gear, you know, and,
• 8:43
  because other schools in different
• 8:45
  school districts like Palos Verdes,
• 8:46
  Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach,
• 8:48
  you know, they were already
• 8:49
  outfitted with the best
• 8:51
  equipment and, you know, the
• 8:53
  best, fields and everything.
• 8:55
  So, we didn't have that in Kai.
• 8:57
  When he went pro, he gave love to
• 8:59
  the community and the the team
• 9:01
  that was coming up after him, which
• 9:03
  I thank him for. Because because of
• 9:04
  that, it allowed me to find success
• 9:07
  in high school, which later on,
• 9:09
  led me to go on and pursue,
• 9:12
  playing in college and then going
• 9:13
  pro. So he, he's a he was a huge
• 9:15
  role model of mine as well, you
• 9:16
  know, because he, he was
• 9:18
  the example for a lot of us growing
• 9:20
  up in Hawthorne, California, you
• 9:21
  know.
• 9:22
  Did your did your parents play
• 9:24
  did was there any of that as far as
• 9:26
  no guidance from them or?
• 9:27
  No. No, no.
• 9:28
  So they didn't play, but I
• 9:30
  thank my dad, because he was the one
• 9:32
  he would he was learning the game,
• 9:34
  you know, he was learning the game,
• 9:35
  reading books, getting, video tape.
• 9:38
  I'm the youngest, it's
• 9:40
  five of us, but I'm the fourth, and
• 9:42
  I'm the fourth boy. So he was
• 9:43
  teaching my older brothers
• 9:44
  everything, and it was kind of like
• 9:46
  I always say,
• 9:48
  he my older brothers were the
• 9:50
  experiment, and he finally got it
• 9:51
  right, you know, with me.
• 9:52
  But, it was great because
• 9:55
  he took me.
• 9:56
  I mean, back in the day, he took me
• 9:57
  to so many, so many soccer events,
• 10:00
  like way down in San Diego, Arizona.
• 10:03
  He did anything he can just to
• 10:05
  help me progress with soccer and
• 10:08
  try to get as much resources as
• 10:09
  possible as well.
• 10:10
  When you think about this path, I
• 10:12
  mean, do you think,
• 10:14
  I mean, is it a wonder
• 10:16
  that somehow they found you or do
• 10:18
  you are you think you pretty much
• 10:19
  you were on the way at some point.
• 10:21
  You knew that this is going to
• 10:22
  happen?
• 10:22
  No, I think of it it
• 10:24
  was kind of like a diamond in the
• 10:25
  rough because I wasn't
• 10:27
  on the radar like some of my
• 10:28
  teammates. And, because
• 10:30
  a lot of my teammates, you know,
• 10:32
  back in the day, they did ODP, a
• 10:33
  lot of my teammates made the
• 10:34
  national team, you know, and I never
• 10:36
  made it. And I was like, all right.
• 10:38
  That gave me motivation to keep my
• 10:39
  head down and keep working, you
• 10:41
  know, so that one day I do make the
• 10:42
  national team. So,
• 10:44
  it wasn't until I want to say maybe
• 10:46
  11th grade, when,
• 10:48
  you know, a lot of colleges start
• 10:50
  asking about me.
• 10:51
  I'm kind of at the tail end of 11th
• 10:53
  grade, 12th grade, even.
• 10:55
  And, and it
• 10:57
  was kind of late compared to other
• 10:58
  people, you know.
• 11:00
  But you showed them.
• 11:01
  Oh, yeah.
• 11:03
  I mean, and then I think about,
• 11:05
  you know, I, we didn't get it to
• 11:06
  like the greats that you played with
• 11:08
  in LA, Steven Gerrard
• 11:10
  or, Robbie Keane.
• 11:13
  I mean, you played with I mean,
• 11:14
  you're like this bridge between the
• 11:16
  old guard of the U.S.
• 11:17
  team, like the Clint Dempseys, the
• 11:19
  the Michael Bradley, and then the
• 11:21
  new guard, the Western McKinneys,
• 11:23
  and the Christian Pulisics of the
• 11:24
  world.
• 11:26
  How would you describe your role on
• 11:27
  the team in the locker room?
• 11:29
  Like, I mean.
• 11:30
  I mean, you're.
• 11:32
  There's a lot of not quite been
• 11:34
  there, done that energy to you.
• 11:35
  But you know, you have MLS cups.
• 11:37
  You have I mean you and Hector
• 11:39
  Jimenez like I think that's it.
• 11:41
  Yeah.
• 11:41
  The team. So I
• 11:43
  mean what what is your role in the
• 11:44
  locker room?
• 11:45
  Yeah. But for myself, you know, I'm,
• 11:48
  I'm not the most vocal person like
• 11:50
  rah rah rah.
• 11:50
  You know, I'm more.
• 11:51
  So I try to lead by example.
• 11:53
  You know, if I want to tell somebody
• 11:55
  to do something, I have to go do it
• 11:57
  first, because I've seen,
• 12:00
  players that that try to, you
• 12:02
  know, lead but don't set
• 12:04
  forth the example.
• 12:05
  So in my opinion, I feel
• 12:06
  like, yes, you need those guys on
• 12:08
  your team that that do screen that
• 12:10
  do talk, that do communicate.
• 12:11
  But my role is just to
• 12:13
  be a positive,
• 12:15
  a positive person that works
• 12:17
  extremely hard to know that
• 12:19
  if I'm going to step on the field,
• 12:20
  I'm going to give it my all for my
• 12:21
  teammates. And I feel like that
• 12:22
  energy, sets a
• 12:24
  domino effect.
• 12:25
  You know, if I'm going to work hard,
• 12:27
  my wingers behind me are going to
• 12:28
  run and work as hard as I'm working.
• 12:31
  And that's going to correlate to my
• 12:32
  senior midfielders, and it's going
• 12:33
  to go down to the defenders and the
• 12:35
  wing backs.
• 12:36
  So, that's that's kind
• 12:38
  of like the, the
• 12:40
  frame of thought that I think of
• 12:42
  when I step into the locker room.
• 12:43
  And, you know, I tell these young
• 12:44
  guys, I talk to the young guys a lot
• 12:46
  because that transition from
• 12:48
  coming from whether you're coming
• 12:49
  from college, a second team
• 12:51
  and your place in the first team
• 12:52
  locker room, especially in
• 12:53
  pre-season.
• 12:55
  I know those guys are probably
• 12:56
  thinking overthinking a bunch of
• 12:58
  things. So,
• 13:00
  whenever they're on my team during
• 13:01
  training sessions.
• 13:02
  If we're in the gym or something,
• 13:03
  I'm trying to constantly just talk
• 13:04
  to them. You know, I prefer to talk
• 13:06
  to players one on one,
• 13:08
  especially if they're on my
• 13:10
  team. Like a center man.
• 13:11
  I'm a think about this next time.
• 13:12
  Or do you see something?
• 13:13
  Because you can learn a lot from the
• 13:15
  younger players, too.
• 13:16
  You know, I used to be there and,
• 13:17
  and, you know,
• 13:20
  listening to somebody else's opinion
• 13:21
  might change your, your point of
• 13:23
  view on, on a player
• 13:25
  or something. So.
• 13:26
  Yeah.
• 13:27
  So, you don't big time the FC two
• 13:28
  players.
• 13:29
  Nah nah nah nah
• 13:31
  nah man.
• 13:33
  It's crazy that you mentioned like,
• 13:34
  all the accolades of my career
• 13:36
  because I go into every season,
• 13:39
  just thinking, like, I'm starting
• 13:40
  from scratch, you know?
• 13:42
  So it's crazy to hear that.
• 13:43
  God, you two MLS cups, you
• 13:45
  know, over 100 goals and stuff like
• 13:47
  that.
• 13:47
  Don't forget a Gold Cup.
• 13:48
  Yeah, Gold Cup as well.
• 13:49
  So that Gold Cup in there.
• 13:51
  To to the, the two Gold
• 13:53
  Cups are one that I think two.
• 13:54
  I'm going to give you two.
• 13:55
  If you say there's two.
• 13:56
  You got I think 17.
• 13:57
  They're on your trophy.
• 13:58
  17 of 19.
• 14:00
  Yeah. See like for example, like I
• 14:01
  can't even remember, you know, all
• 14:03
  those because I'm always hungry for
• 14:04
  more. And like I said,
• 14:06
  I just start from scratch, you know,
• 14:08
  000 across the board and just
• 14:10
  want to work to, you know,
• 14:12
  try to obtain more.
• 14:14
  How has your family
• 14:16
  adjusted to Austin?
• 14:18
  Yeah. I would say that
• 14:20
  I feel like they're finally
• 14:21
  adjusted. You know,
• 14:23
  my wife does an incredible job with
• 14:25
  our family, off the
• 14:27
  field. You know,
• 14:29
  we have four kids, and all of the
• 14:31
  kids are involved in activities.
• 14:33
  You know, they all go to school, but
• 14:34
  they also are heavily involved
• 14:36
  in activities. My oldest son, he
• 14:37
  plays with, the Austin FC
• 14:39
  Academy. You know, my daughters
• 14:41
  are dancers.
• 14:43
  And I don't know if you know too
• 14:44
  much about dancing.
• 14:45
  I'm learning about it.
• 14:46
  And I thought my schedule was
• 14:48
  hectic. I mean, my daughter is
• 14:49
  dancing from like, 4:00
• 14:51
  to 830 at night, and I'm talking
• 14:53
  four, five times a week, which,
• 14:56
  you know, I always ask her you love
• 14:57
  it. She's like, I love it, daddy.
• 14:58
  So I'm like, all right, hey, do you
• 14:59
  think I'm going to support you as
• 15:01
  best as I can, you know, but,
• 15:04
  and my youngest son is playing
• 15:05
  soccer now, too, so,
• 15:07
  I would say they're, they're really
• 15:09
  adjusting, and they, they finally,
• 15:11
  I feel like they finally have, you
• 15:12
  know, their group or their community
• 15:14
  of friends, that they can
• 15:17
  rely on and hang out with.
• 15:18
  And, you know, they they're excited
• 15:20
  about it.
• 15:20
  Yeah. And I'm, I'm sure
• 15:23
  15 years ago,
• 15:25
  you thought making
• 15:27
  the men's national team would be my
• 15:28
  greatest accomplishment.
• 15:29
  Scoring for the men's national team
• 15:31
  against Ecuador would be my greatest
• 15:33
  accomplishment.
• 15:34
  Scoring that first goal for club
• 15:36
  X will be my greatest...
• 15:37
  Then these kids come along.
• 15:39
  Yeah.
• 15:39
  And now, like, can you describe,
• 15:42
  like, is there anything that
• 15:44
  you play that describes the same
• 15:45
  feeling you get when you like, watch
• 15:46
  your kid dance or whatever?
• 15:48
  Yeah. Oh yeah man.
• 15:49
  It's it's wild.
• 15:50
  Like you said, your
• 15:52
  whole your whole
• 15:54
  thought process changes when you
• 15:55
  become a parent and especially when
• 15:57
  you're looking at, you know, your
• 15:58
  child and you see
• 16:00
  all the hard work they do.
• 16:01
  For example, I got to see for the
• 16:03
  first time actually this past year,
• 16:05
  because the previous year and I
• 16:06
  never had a chance to watch my
• 16:08
  daughter perform because I was
• 16:09
  always like, gone with the national
• 16:10
  team, are gone with my club, and
• 16:13
  I got to see her perform twice
• 16:15
  and the,
• 16:17
  the butterflies and the jitters that
• 16:19
  I got just from sitting in the
• 16:20
  crowd, like.
• 16:21
  Like I know her routine because you
• 16:22
  probably sit at home and I'm, like,
• 16:24
  watching while, you know, a thousand
• 16:26
  other people are watching her on
• 16:27
  stage, you know?
• 16:29
  Yeah. Mind you, she's only seven,
• 16:31
  right? And she's owning the stage
• 16:33
  like she's been there for ten
• 16:35
  years.
• 16:36
  And I'm just, I don't know, it's
• 16:37
  kind of like taking a huge
• 16:39
  block for a final.
• 16:40
  That's the kind of feeling I got.
• 16:41
  Seeing her on the stage, performing.
• 16:44
  And then once she was done and.
• 16:45
  And she killed the routine and
• 16:47
  crushed it.
• 16:48
  Is is so relieving.
• 16:50
  You know, it's because I get to see
• 16:51
  all the the hard work and
• 16:53
  the sacrifices she's already making
• 16:54
  at a young age.
• 16:55
  And to see her perform on
• 16:57
  stage with a big smile on her face
• 16:59
  and score. Well, it's it's,
• 17:01
  an incredible feeling.
• 17:02
  You, you have a son who is
• 17:04
  on an academy
• 17:07
  team.
• 17:09
  I'm guessing just by
• 17:11
  age and circumstance, you're the
• 17:12
  only player to actually have a kid
• 17:14
  in the system.
• 17:17
  In the Austin system.
• 17:19
  Would that be correct?
• 17:20
  Yeah.
• 17:22
  Yeah.
• 17:23
  Player wise, yeah, yeah, there's a
• 17:24
  couple coaches.
• 17:25
  So he might. He might.
• 17:26
  The coaches. Sure, absolutely.
• 17:27
  Yeah. Yes. But, you know, they're
• 17:29
  they're old heads.
• 17:30
  Yeah. Like me.
• 17:32
  But, I,
• 17:35
  your your son, your the son in the
• 17:36
  academy probably has a clue,
• 17:38
  but do your kids understand what a
• 17:40
  big deal you might be?
• 17:45
  I say yes, and then I say no.
• 17:48
  I say yes when
• 17:50
  I'm maybe walking around the stadium
• 17:52
  and asking people, and people are
• 17:53
  asking for photos, or if I'm out and
• 17:54
  people are asking for photos,
• 17:55
  they're starting to understand it
• 17:57
  just because the they they were
• 17:59
  younger, but now they're a little
• 18:00
  older and they understand like,
• 18:02
  okay, why do they want
• 18:04
  pictures with you? And I'm like,
• 18:05
  they're fans, you know, of our team
• 18:07
  and stuff. But now my son and
• 18:09
  my oldest daughter really understand
• 18:10
  that because now they actually
• 18:13
  if a fan, for example, after
• 18:14
  the game, I always go to my family,
• 18:16
  you know, and greet them.
• 18:18
  But if my daughter
• 18:20
  or my oldest son see a kid that want
• 18:22
  to autograph, they actually pull my
• 18:23
  shirt. They're like, daddy, daddy,
• 18:25
  he wants your he wants you to sign
• 18:27
  something. Or like that kid over
• 18:28
  there wants the photo.
• 18:29
  so they're actually.
• 18:30
  They understand now.
• 18:33
  Nice. Do you think all of them will
• 18:34
  find their way eventually to soccer?
• 18:36
  Oh, I'm trying hard on my girls.
• 18:39
  There's hope with my youngest
• 18:40
  daughter.
• 18:41
  But my boys, I mean, my boys are
• 18:42
  left footed.
• 18:44
  They're special already.
• 18:45
  I can see it already.
• 18:46
  I'm like, man, the game just come
• 18:47
  natural to them.
• 18:49
  Meanwhile, I have to work for
• 18:50
  everything, you know?
• 18:51
  But I see my boys going on
• 18:53
  and pursuing soccer.
• 18:54
  But my girls,
• 18:56
  I think dance have taken
• 18:58
  over.
• 19:00
  So these are questions
• 19:02
  from my kids' soccer team.
• 19:03
  Okay.
• 19:04
  I have two daughters.
• 19:06
  They play on three teams.
• 19:07
  At least right now.
• 19:09
  Hi, my name is Vera, and I play
• 19:11
  soccer for Lonestar.
• 19:13
  My question is, what is your
• 19:15
  favorite pre-game song?
• 19:18
  Favorite pre-game song?
• 19:20
  I would say at the moment,
• 19:22
  like this last season I listened to
• 19:24
  like, Kendrick Lamar.
• 19:25
  He has, a song called Count
• 19:27
  Me Out and it's
• 19:29
  like, I think the chorus says,
• 19:31
  I love em when they count me out.
• 19:33
  And it's kind of like
• 19:35
  being an underdog going
• 19:36
  into every situation, like, hey,
• 19:38
  people don't want you to succeed,
• 19:39
  but you know that that gives me
• 19:41
  motivation to go out there and
• 19:43
  prove,
• 19:45
  to, you know, the fans, the people
• 19:46
  out there like, hey, I deserve to be
• 19:48
  on the field. And also I deserve to,
• 19:51
  find success on the field and us
• 19:53
  win, you know, because,
• 19:56
  Austin is such a great team,
• 19:58
  such a great city, such a great
• 20:00
  environment at the stadium.
• 20:01
  And so when I correlate that song
• 20:03
  to, you know, pulling up to the
• 20:05
  stadium is kind of like people don't
• 20:06
  want to see Austin succeed, but yet
• 20:08
  we're going to we are going to
• 20:09
  succeed, we're going to overcome,
• 20:11
  and we're going to win.
• 20:12
  So yeah.
• 20:13
  Kendrick Lamar, Compton, how
• 20:15
  far is that from Hawthorne?
• 20:17
  Five, ten minutes.
• 20:18
  Okay. Yeah. Just down the road.
• 20:19
  Kind of.
• 20:20
  You guys ever run into each other?
• 20:22
  Me and him? No.
• 20:24
  Well, it's been a lot of time.
• 20:25
  We might make that happen.
• 20:26
  I don't know, Carson.
• 20:27
  Yeah.
• 20:28
  All right, here's our next question.
• 20:32
  I'm Violet. I play for one world
• 20:34
  and Kealing middle school soccer.
• 20:36
  And my question is, what
• 20:38
  gives you the motivation to keep
• 20:40
  playing to go to pro?
• 20:42
  The motivation for me was, was,
• 20:44
  I grew up in Los Angeles.
• 20:48
  It's a lot of sports in Los Angeles,
• 20:49
  but it's a huge Latin presence
• 20:52
  to where once I fell in love with
• 20:53
  soccer, I ate, slept, and dreamed
• 20:56
  soccer.
• 20:57
  You know, Ronaldinho was a
• 20:59
  huge, player
• 21:01
  that I used to look up to.
• 21:02
  Barcelona. Yeah.
• 21:03
  I mean, just the Brazilian culture
• 21:05
  as well, you know, I
• 21:07
  was so infatuated with how they
• 21:08
  controlled the ball and how they
• 21:09
  play with a smile on their face.
• 21:11
  Whether good things or bad things,
• 21:13
  they just enjoying living in the
• 21:14
  moment, playing the beautiful sport.
• 21:15
  So, Ronaldinho was a huge
• 21:17
  inspiration of mine. I use to watch
• 21:19
  all his games and just try to
• 21:20
  imitate him. You know, when I,
• 21:22
  whether I'm playing
• 21:24
  futsal on tennis courts, are
• 21:26
  playing, you know, soccer 1111
• 21:28
  and, I love it.
• 21:30
  Contractually, are you allowed to
• 21:32
  still play on concrete?
• 21:34
  I'm not sure, but, I mean, I'm sure
• 21:36
  we all still do it.
• 21:39
  You got any other skills?
• 21:40
  What else makes you tick?
• 21:41
  Like, as far as.
• 21:42
  Well, yeah.
• 21:43
  You play any instruments?
• 21:44
  I know you DJ.
• 21:46
  Yeah, I enjoy deejaying.
• 21:48
  Guitar. You know, I it was crazy.
• 21:50
  My dad bought, he bought my first
• 21:51
  guitar in the seventh grade and
• 21:53
  I was. So it was, it was a
• 21:55
  Christmas. I was so mad because my
• 21:56
  older brother got the drum set, and
• 21:58
  all I wanted was a drum set, you
• 22:00
  know, I was I was fuming, but, you
• 22:02
  know, years went by and
• 22:03
  I will always pick up the guitar for
• 22:05
  like maybe a year, then put it down
• 22:07
  for a year, you know.
• 22:08
  But when I got to college,
• 22:10
  I purchased, like, an acoustic
• 22:11
  guitar, from the Guitar Center.
• 22:13
  And that's when I really honed in
• 22:15
  on, like, man, I actually see why
• 22:17
  my dad got me a guitar because it
• 22:18
  mellows me out.
• 22:19
  Just learning new. So, new songs,
• 22:21
  new chords.
• 22:22
  And now my daughters are like, hey,
• 22:24
  dad, let's let's play a song.
• 22:25
  So they love singing, like, whether
• 22:27
  it's Taylor Swift or somebody else.
• 22:28
  I have to go learn the acoustic
• 22:30
  version of the song and I'll play
• 22:32
  for them. You know, you.
• 22:33
  You ever play a duet with your daughters.
• 22:35
  Yeah. Well, I mean, they at
• 22:37
  the moment, we've been diving,
• 22:38
  so I love all genres of music, but
• 22:40
  we've been diving into since we
• 22:42
  moved here. We've been diving more
• 22:43
  into.
• 22:44
  So, guys, I think
• 22:46
  it's like Miranda Lambert.
• 22:48
  If I was a cowboy.
• 22:49
  If I was a cowboy.
• 22:50
  Okay, my daughter loves that.
• 22:52
  She just walks around with cowboy
• 22:53
  boots singing it like.
• 22:55
  Yeah. So that's that's one we play a
• 22:57
  lot.
• 22:58
  Well, you're in luck, because we
• 23:00
  have a, former Guitar Center
• 23:01
  employee here.
• 23:02
  Yeah, producer Juan Garcia as
• 23:04
  well. Wondering
• 23:06
  if you might play us
• 23:08
  a few bars.
• 23:09
  And it doesn't have to be one of
• 23:10
  your duets with your daughters.
• 23:11
  Of what song?
• 23:12
  Whatever you'd like.
• 23:14
  Okay.
• 23:14
  Yeah, we're going to plug you in
• 23:15
  here.
• 23:15
  All right.
• 23:18
  Is it twtuned already? No idea.
• 23:23
  Yeah. I mean. [guitar strumming]
• 23:42
  Does it sound fine or do you want me to turn down?
• 23:45
  Let me see.
• 23:46
  What else.
• 23:47
  Fingerpicking.
• 23:48
  Yeah.
• 23:50
  Yeah.
• 23:56
  Maybe that might not work on this.
• 23:58
  What else?
• 24:00
  I play a lot of sublime and reggae,
• 24:03
  like bar music, but
• 24:05
  I kind of figure out because usually
• 24:07
  I have, like, the guitar app in
• 24:09
  front of me.
• 24:09
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:11
  Yeah.
• 24:12
  That's right.
• 24:12
  Yeah, yeah. Better than I could do
• 24:13
  on the spot.
• 24:15
  We forced you into this.
• 24:16
  No. Thank you guys.
• 24:17
  That was fun.
• 24:19
  I need to get my guitar out more.
• 24:21
  We've been on the DJ thing heavy.
• 24:23
  But now that you've brought
• 24:25
  out the guitar, I'm going to whip it
• 24:26
  out.
• 24:27
  Yeah.
• 24:28
  On a year where you're putting it
• 24:29
  down, or on a year where you're
• 24:30
  picking it up a lot.
• 24:31
  No, it's it's right now is down.
• 24:33
  Yeah.
• 24:34
  It's kind of, it's busy.
• 24:35
  It's, pre-season and
• 24:37
  everything. Christmas, Thanksgiving.
• 24:40
  You don't have too much time for it,
• 24:41
  but now I'm going to pick it up.
• 24:42
  Yeah. I have a couple,
• 24:44
  a Taylor acoustic and then a Gibson
• 24:46
  electric.
• 24:47
  Oh, nice. Yeah.
• 24:48
  Nice.
• 24:48
  But, I mean, once you like,
• 24:50
  I do ultimate guitar tab.
• 24:52
  I got me too.
• 24:53
  Yeah.
• 24:53
  So, like, once I start playing
• 24:54
  again, I'll bring out my tab,
• 24:57
  and then I'll play it on the I've
• 24:58
  put on the table, and then I'll play
• 25:00
  like I like the music.
• 25:01
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:02
  That's how you do it.
• 25:03
  Hoping one day I'll come back to the
• 25:05
  forefront. Like when the kids are
• 25:06
  older in high school and, like, have
• 25:08
  friends over, you know, have a
• 25:10
  little bonfire going.
• 25:11
  You got enough kids to start a band.
• 25:13
  That's true. I and I tried that.
• 25:15
  I was like, hey, my oldest
• 25:17
  daughter could play the piano, my
• 25:19
  son could play the drums, and then
• 25:21
  my other daughter can play like the
• 25:22
  bass on the. But they didn't want
• 25:24
  any parts.
• 25:26
  The recordings exist of this band.
• 25:28
  Yeah.
• 25:28
  Zardes family band.
• 25:31
  Z band or something?
• 25:32
  Who knows? The live music capital in
• 25:34
  the world of the world can do some
• 25:36
  crazy things to people.
• 25:36
  That's true. You're absolutely
• 25:38
  right.
• 25:38
  Cool. Appreciate the time.
• 25:40
  Yeah. No problem.
• 25:40
  Thank you guys. Thank you.
• 25:41
  Thank you.
• 25:44
  That was fun.
• 25:45
  I enjoyed that, and he was really,
• 25:47
  complimentary of your crappy guitar.
• 25:49
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:50
  That is not the best guitar.
• 25:52
  But still, he seemed to.
• 25:53
  And we surprised him with it.
• 25:55
  He was not expecting it.
• 25:56
  That was. That was.
• 25:57
  I applaud him for for playing along.
• 25:59
  I mean, he did better than I could
• 26:01
  in, like, a sudden
• 26:03
  if you had, like, surprised me with
• 26:05
  a guitar, I don't know if I had
• 26:06
  done.
• 26:06
  Had we only known he wouldn't needed
• 26:08
  an acoustic.
• 26:09
  I know.
• 26:09
  Yeah, but you did.
• 26:11
  We did our best. Whatever.
• 26:13
  Anyway, we'll have more.
• 26:16
  What will we have more?
• 26:17
  What are we doing next?
• 26:18
  Juan?
• 26:21
  We'll have more after the break.
• 26:24
  Our next guests.
• 26:25
  Guests, plural have
• 26:27
  been bringing the soundtrack to
• 26:28
  Austin's nightlife for over 20
• 26:30
  years, and for the past three years,
• 26:32
  they've been part of the sound that
• 26:34
  makes Q2 Stadium one of the best
• 26:36
  environments in Major League Soccer.
• 26:38
  We spoke to Manolo Black,
• 26:40
  Pagame, Manny Dojo and Orion
• 26:42
  Garcia from Austin FC's official
• 26:44
  Game Day DJ collective, Peligrosa.
• 26:49
  What's the best way to call it?
• 26:50
  DJ syndicate what?
• 26:51
  What's what do we want to.
• 26:52
  What? What is this?
• 26:54
  I like these syndicate.
• 26:55
  Yeah.
• 26:56
  Now, this Wu-Tang clan of deejays
• 26:59
  crews in the South.
• 27:01
  Us. In Austin.
• 27:05
  [crosstalk] Yeah, there's a lot in
• 27:06
  there, but I enjoy it.
• 27:08
  I always explain it as a collective
• 27:10
  of artists that, you know, we
• 27:12
  we are on the same mission, you
• 27:14
  know, of, like, pushing
• 27:17
  Latino and global
• 27:19
  culture, you know, in, in whatever
• 27:21
  we do, whether it's, with music,
• 27:24
  with art, with our just ourselves,
• 27:26
  you know, and all of us bring
• 27:28
  like, something different to the
• 27:29
  table. And it's
• 27:31
  what makes the magic.
• 27:33
  How long is the group been at it?
• 27:35
  How long you guys been going?
• 27:36
  This is Orion.
• 27:38
  We just celebrated our 16 year
• 27:40
  anniversary in December.
• 27:42
  Every day I'm amazed and intrigued
• 27:44
  by it.
• 27:45
  Because we started out as a
• 27:46
  collective and mid-point.
• 27:48
  We started thinking
• 27:50
  more, fundamentally
• 27:53
  about the business aspect of it,
• 27:56
  while consciously not
• 27:58
  pushing capitalism necessarily
• 28:02
  and remaining a collective
• 28:04
  of artists, you know, some of the,
• 28:05
  some of the ideology in those two
• 28:07
  things, a collective and a business
• 28:09
  are at odds with each other.
• 28:11
  But the fun part about doing it with
• 28:13
  the crew who gets to express
• 28:14
  himself, how are they? What do their
• 28:16
  art is?
• 28:17
  It manifests in unique, different
• 28:19
  ways, sometimes with unexpected
• 28:21
  ways. You know.
• 28:22
  For the uninitiated,
• 28:24
  how does a crew work
• 28:26
  a show together?
• 28:27
  Explain that to me.
• 28:29
  It used to be, this is Jaime.
• 28:32
  I mean, nowadays it is kind of like
• 28:34
  slotted times.
• 28:34
  Like what? We just trade off as
• 28:36
  quickly as we can.
• 28:37
  Before, it was a lot more what you
• 28:39
  would call round robin to where
• 28:41
  you duck in and you have multiple
• 28:43
  decks like you add on top of each
• 28:44
  other.
• 28:46
  And I'm like
• 28:48
  more often than not, if you're in
• 28:50
  sync with another person, like
• 28:51
  you'll be queuing up the same exact
• 28:53
  song just because you both think of
• 28:54
  that. Like, that happens multiple
• 28:56
  times too.
• 28:57
  Yeah, and I think it's just like
• 28:59
  sharing your time that way.
• 29:00
  And it was like before there were
• 29:03
  like 9 or 10 of us out on
• 29:05
  stage at a time.
• 29:06
  Whenever it was like 4 or
• 29:08
  5, it was easier to do a round
• 29:10
  robin, that it would be like you
• 29:11
  duck in for 2 or 3 songs.
• 29:13
  There'd be like, ooh, I got
• 29:14
  something, and then you roll in
• 29:16
  and then you just basically like,
• 29:17
  pull in on top of each other and
• 29:19
  it's like it's a cordial dance, like
• 29:21
  a give and take.
• 29:22
  It's like, yes or no.
• 29:23
  And you kind of have just like
• 29:24
  visual cues or hand like
• 29:26
  motions that you'll be like, no, no,
• 29:27
  no, not yet. Or, you know,
• 29:29
  stop there, go there.
• 29:30
  Oh yeah, that's good.
• 29:31
  Like just kind of roll it.
• 29:33
  You know.
• 29:33
  This is trait that's most
• 29:35
  exciting for me.
• 29:36
  Now we're kind of, we're at Coconut
• 29:38
  Club once a month, and their booth
• 29:40
  is small, so it doesn't really allow
• 29:43
  for multiple setups.
• 29:44
  But I remember a show where we would
• 29:46
  have three sets of turntables
• 29:49
  on the stage with percussion,
• 29:51
  and a stage was big enough to
• 29:53
  where people could come and hang
• 29:54
  with us, and we just allowed the
• 29:55
  party to kind of be on the stage as
• 29:57
  well as, you know, and
• 29:59
  on the dance floor.
• 30:00
  But yeah. So, I think that's
• 30:02
  probably.
• 30:03
  Creekside as well.
• 30:04
  Yeah.
• 30:05
  My yeah. The thing that I love most
• 30:07
  about this crew is that
• 30:08
  collaboration like we've had
• 30:10
  just for because of space purposes,
• 30:12
  we've kind of had to go, okay,
• 30:14
  you're on for about 2030
• 30:16
  and then next one.
• 30:17
  But my favorite is when
• 30:19
  each each person plays two songs
• 30:21
  and ok tag your next.
• 30:23
  And it's challenging, but
• 30:25
  it's also fun when it all just like
• 30:27
  works. You know.
• 30:28
  It's more like a mental workout too.
• 30:30
  Yeah, because it's like it is fun to
• 30:32
  like, try and get in where you fit
• 30:33
  in.
• 30:34
  And if you're not in
• 30:36
  that headspace, then it's like,
• 30:38
  you got to take it almost like you.
• 30:40
  You take you make yourself take
• 30:42
  a back seat.
• 30:43
  It reminds me of like, dynamics that
• 30:45
  I've been in, in like bands
• 30:47
  with instruments that like
• 30:48
  non-verbal communication that like
• 30:50
  being in sync with one another, like
• 30:52
  queueing certain things up or like
• 30:54
  giving those, those signals.
• 30:56
  Am I on to something there?
• 30:57
  Is that kind of how do you guys
• 30:58
  function?
• 30:58
  Exactly the same, I think in
• 31:00
  even in so much to say
• 31:03
  like if you're in a band
• 31:05
  and you play trumpet and
• 31:07
  it's your time to play.
• 31:09
  You have essentially two options.
• 31:11
  Do I roll and
• 31:13
  fit and match what's happening
• 31:15
  currently or do I?
• 31:16
  Am I the jumping point for something
• 31:18
  new or different?
• 31:19
  Am I going to be the one to take it
• 31:21
  in a different order?
• 31:21
  I mean, it's different when you're performing
• 31:23
  songs that have been rehearsed, but,
• 31:24
  you know,
• 31:26
  there's a lot of similarities.
• 31:29
  Jazz, man.
• 31:30
  Pretty much. It's like, you know, it
• 31:31
  really is.
• 31:32
  I mean, you have access to all the.
• 31:33
  Instruments and then just just
• 31:35
  cut it and you know, it's in there
• 31:37
  and it's that energy that that skill
• 31:38
  set up, you know, and this is
• 31:40
  Manny.
• 31:41
  And then also, you know, we all
• 31:42
  bring like when people see
• 31:44
  us on stage and having fun and
• 31:46
  having that interaction, you know,
• 31:47
  and some of us, you know,
• 31:49
  kind of connect with the crowd, you
• 31:51
  know, and you know, we put their
• 31:53
  hands up or, you know, sometimes
• 31:55
  I even going like, all right,
• 31:56
  everybody get low.
• 31:57
  I know, you know, get low.
• 31:59
  And like, you see everybody getting
• 32:00
  low and getting down and they just
• 32:01
  like, you know, like, are you ready
• 32:03
  when the beat goes off, I want
• 32:04
  everybody to jump on their like
• 32:05
  whoa, you know, so
• 32:07
  you just hyping them up a little
• 32:08
  bit.
• 32:08
  And when you ask
• 32:10
  the crowd to get low
• 32:12
  and they don't get low.
• 32:15
  Maybe there's like one guy in the
• 32:16
  back and you're like that [bleep]
• 32:18
  guy that
• 32:20
  you.
• 32:20
  Play two stage.
• 32:22
  Yeah.
• 32:23
  He has a bad back, you know.
• 32:24
  Kid, maybe you're right.
• 32:25
  He can't physically.
• 32:26
  That's my thinking.
• 32:27
  That's that's what really?
• 32:28
  That's all right. You're not going
• 32:29
  to, like, confront this.
• 32:31
  That's all right with me.
• 32:33
  You know, but it's I don't know for
• 32:35
  the most part, but I kind of feel
• 32:37
  it out, like it has to be pretty
• 32:38
  packed and people are dancing.
• 32:40
  It's not my first go to, you know
• 32:42
  what I mean? You know, I think I
• 32:43
  first got to's like, what's up
• 32:45
  everybody. You know, make some noise
• 32:46
  for yourself.
• 32:47
  You know you're looking good.
• 32:48
  If you feel good, make some noise
• 32:50
  like, you know you kind of feel it
• 32:51
  out a little bit. See what you're.
• 32:53
  That's Orion's.
• 32:55
  Yeah. That's my that's my line.
• 32:56
  That's his line? Yeah.
• 32:57
  You feel good?
• 32:58
  You look good.
• 32:59
  It's like already like Bill
• 33:01
  and Teddy.
• 33:01
  Already like Bill and Ted.
• 33:02
  Yeah, yeah.
• 33:03
  Just get three already.
• 33:05
  Hard to keep my breathing steady.
• 33:06
  I mean, like, I feel good.
• 33:08
  I look good today.
• 33:09
  Just be just off of that.
• 33:10
  So, like, okay, it works, you know?
• 33:12
  Yeah.
• 33:12
  Osmosis is a real thing.
• 33:13
  Especially in the DJ setting
• 33:16
  where it's like, not all
• 33:18
  like we'd rather be.
• 33:19
  I speak for myself. I'd rather be
• 33:20
  heard than seen.
• 33:22
  So like, the whole Booth elevated
• 33:24
  thing is not really my.
• 33:26
  I just want to be down on the ground
• 33:27
  with the crowd, feeling what they
• 33:29
  want to hear, playing what I want to
• 33:30
  play, and seeing if those two things
• 33:32
  match up and we're all going to have
• 33:33
  a good night.
• 33:34
  Yeah. A second ago, you you
• 33:35
  mentioned how, you know, you
• 33:37
  sometimes you're in sync, like
• 33:39
  you're getting ready a song, you're
• 33:40
  getting a song ready that, maybe
• 33:42
  you had already, you
• 33:44
  just switched over to.
• 33:46
  So, has
• 33:48
  there ever been a time
• 33:50
  where that
• 33:52
  just didn't work?
• 33:55
  You, you went to something
• 33:57
  that was just, oh, like,
• 33:59
  like all off, and
• 34:02
  the rest of you were just like,
• 34:05
  come on.
• 34:07
  That's the risk. That's the risk?
• 34:08
  Yeah.
• 34:10
  Risk and reward, man. And at that time,
• 34:11
  it's like, man, you got to shrug
• 34:12
  that [bleep] off. Like it's fun.
• 34:14
  It's like, all right, I know I did
• 34:16
  bad, but it was a good time, wasn't
• 34:18
  it?
• 34:19
  I don't know, man.
• 34:20
  I love I mean, I'll be honest, I
• 34:22
  love a good [bleep] killer song.
• 34:25
  But that also it when it hits,
• 34:27
  you know, it's like, man, I can't.
• 34:29
  That thing went off, you know?
• 34:30
  So yeah, it's like if
• 34:33
  if you don't take the risk, you
• 34:34
  won't get the glory almost, you
• 34:36
  know, but then you also if you
• 34:37
  didn't hit then.
• 34:38
  Yeah. You have to take the L.
• 34:40
  All right.
• 34:40
  Yeah. Yeah. Any combos that just
• 34:42
  you just like memorable like
• 34:43
  clunkers.
• 34:45
  Like, I don't know, like.
• 34:46
  Yeah. Yeah. Like just things that
• 34:47
  just didn't.
• 34:48
  I, I definitely have songs
• 34:50
  that I like to play that I know
• 34:51
  people don't like, but I love the
• 34:53
  song, you know?
• 34:53
  Sure.
• 34:54
  It's kind of my right
• 34:56
  to be the loudest person in the
• 34:57
  room. I had the right to just play
• 34:58
  it.
• 34:59
  I think like any juke, because it's
• 35:01
  like, man, I know that you and
• 35:02
  myself will like, I'll try and
• 35:04
  shoehorn it in every now and again.
• 35:06
  It's a very particular time you can
• 35:08
  throw.
• 35:08
  But the thing is, it's like when you
• 35:09
  get it in and you can get people
• 35:10
  like on board with like Chicago
• 35:12
  juke, like proper.
• 35:14
  And it's just like at first you
• 35:16
  see people kind of shift
• 35:18
  like, oh man, I'm really like
• 35:20
  just kind of stuck in molasses.
• 35:22
  And then you'll see people start to
• 35:23
  move on things.
• 35:24
  BPM's around 150, maybe.
• 35:26
  160.
• 35:27
  160.
• 35:28
  The, you know, it just super fast.
• 35:29
  I'm not I'm not familiar.
• 35:31
  It's also called like fast
• 35:32
  footwork.
• 35:33
  Yeah. Where you see like the like
• 35:35
  people dancing and it's
• 35:36
  kind of like the
• 35:37
  [ingidstinguishable] kind of deal.
• 35:39
  Yeah. And like it's kind of like a
• 35:41
  weird.
• 35:41
  He's going to break stuff.
• 35:43
  Yeah. Okay.
• 35:43
  I'm going to just describe what's
• 35:45
  happening.
• 35:47
  I mean he got up.
• 35:48
  There's there's a man.
• 35:50
  There's a man.
• 35:50
  He's looking like he's possessed by
• 35:52
  a marionette.
• 35:53
  He is about to speak in tongues.
• 35:56
  It's kind of like that.
• 35:57
  It he does look like a marionette.
• 35:58
  That's that's accurate.
• 35:59
  Yeah.
• 35:59
  Doom doom doom doom doom doom.
• 36:01
  This is like the drum, the beat.
• 36:03
  It's just like 160 bpm.
• 36:05
  So that's like,
• 36:07
  just like maybe faster.
• 36:08
  We have a we have a side record
• 36:10
  label called Discos Peligroso.
• 36:12
  And I wrote an album with a
• 36:13
  guy who came from Chicago, lives
• 36:15
  in San Antonio.
• 36:17
  And we put a record out kind of
• 36:18
  combining like.
• 36:19
  [music plays] We're
• 36:35
  philosophically similar,
• 36:37
  in that we
• 36:39
  are still of the understanding
• 36:41
  that deejaying is about breaking
• 36:43
  records. Yeah, there's times
• 36:45
  to play the stuff that's already
• 36:47
  well known, but there's times
• 36:49
  to play new stuff and there's
• 36:50
  times to play things you
• 36:52
  know other people haven't heard.
• 36:55
  And that's kind of,
• 36:57
  the with the democratization
• 37:00
  of the gear that, you know,
• 37:01
  is more accessible.
• 37:04
  Like those philosophies have been
• 37:06
  lost on another generation,
• 37:08
  not for better or worse, just
• 37:09
  different.
• 37:10
  So and, you know, how
• 37:12
  does that taste
• 37:14
  change over 20 years?
• 37:16
  Like how do you continuously evolve
• 37:18
  to stay kind of on that cutting edge
• 37:20
  and not ever fall back into what
• 37:22
  everybody else is playing?
• 37:23
  I don't necessarily know that it's
• 37:25
  staying on the cutting edge.
• 37:27
  Like, that's not the mindset.
• 37:29
  I would think it's kind of like, how
• 37:30
  do you teach a DJ to dig?
• 37:32
  Like you don't like the people that
• 37:34
  go and find new music like, and
• 37:36
  that's doesn't necessarily pertain
• 37:37
  to just deejays.
• 37:39
  That's like people in general who
• 37:40
  are into music.
• 37:41
  Yeah, you're constantly wanting new,
• 37:43
  new, new things.
• 37:45
  You're just like like it's a
• 37:46
  dopamine rush.
• 37:47
  Like you're just like, ooh, what's a
• 37:48
  hot new thing? And it's not
• 37:49
  necessarily what's a hot new thing?
• 37:51
  So I can show it to other people.
• 37:53
  It's just like, I want to consume
• 37:54
  this for myself.
• 37:56
  And then as deejays, we have
• 37:58
  the ability to like, oh, let me show
• 38:00
  you this thing.
• 38:01
  Like, ooh, this is really dope like,
• 38:03
  I, you know, I would like to show
• 38:04
  you what I'm into
• 38:06
  versus, like, staying
• 38:08
  on top of it.
• 38:09
  Like, I guess now that I think about
• 38:11
  it, I'm really into kind of like
• 38:11
  cumbia rebajada, you
• 38:13
  know, it's more like a darker,
• 38:16
  you know, it has like a just like a
• 38:17
  chunky.
• 38:18
  It's chopped and screwed cumbia,
• 38:19
  essentially.
• 38:19
  Okay.
• 38:20
  Yeah. You know, I just got, like, a
• 38:22
  weird. [music]
• 38:41
  It's actually a fun story
• 38:43
  from Duéñez, the guy who's
• 38:45
  credited for
• 38:47
  cumbia rebajada, who lives in
• 38:48
  Monterrey.
• 38:49
  Who, you know, the folklore
• 38:51
  because there's there's a there's a
• 38:52
  folklore.
• 38:53
  He created screw. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:55
  Folklore with the accordion as well.
• 38:57
  Yeah. Controversial.
• 38:58
  And I like that there's like, every
• 38:59
  50 years is another controversy
• 39:01
  based on a music genre.
• 39:02
  But like, his table, like his
• 39:04
  turntable got, like someone spilled
• 39:05
  a beer on it or something, and and
• 39:07
  and something blew.
• 39:09
  Something busted that it was like a
• 39:10
  capacitor, that it was like, rolling
• 39:12
  at a really slow speed.
• 39:14
  But he was also playing 45s.
• 39:17
  This is Jaime.
• 39:18
  I had heard another story as well
• 39:20
  that was like, oh, the 45
• 39:23
  busted. So he could only play
• 39:24
  on 33.
• 39:26
  And then I heard another one that it
• 39:28
  was actually rebejadas
• 39:30
  came from people wanting to
• 39:32
  extend the long songs to be
• 39:34
  longer because they were like,
• 39:36
  [bleep], they didn't have enough
• 39:37
  time. Like, let's say it's a 218
• 39:39
  or three minute song and they're
• 39:40
  still digging through.
• 39:41
  And then they were like, yo, let's
• 39:42
  play it at 33.
• 39:44
  Like, I've heard multiple lores
• 39:46
  about like rebejadas, but I still
• 39:47
  to this day believe that it was
• 39:49
  like, I can't imagine
• 39:51
  that DJ Screw from
• 39:53
  Houston did not hear
• 39:55
  like slow [bleep] cumbias,
• 39:56
  rebejadas, playing
• 39:58
  and wasn't like...
• 39:59
  [crosstalk]
• 40:00
  Anyone who's ever played with
• 40:02
  records who grew up, I mean, when I
• 40:04
  was, when I was like 8 or 9 years
• 40:06
  old, I used to play my stuff
• 40:07
  on 33, like my fault, just to see
• 40:10
  what it sounds like. [crosstalk] So
• 40:12
  I think it's it's experimentation.
• 40:14
  And just because it arrived
• 40:17
  in one part of the country and
• 40:19
  or in a different part of the world,
• 40:21
  they could have simultaneously came
• 40:23
  together. Funny that there's like I
• 40:24
  don't think like.
• 40:25
  I think there's probably more
• 40:27
  relation than
• 40:30
  just like, coincidence.
• 40:33
  Yeah. Because the conversation
• 40:34
  between the Texas and Mexico
• 40:36
  side of that border has been like
• 40:38
  exchanging cultural ideas, music
• 40:41
  ideas longer than
• 40:42
  that border has really been there,
• 40:43
  you know.
• 40:44
  And it would it would be interesting
• 40:45
  to get those two in a room.
• 40:47
  I would love nothing more.
• 40:49
  And sit and talk about
• 40:51
  that, how it came about.
• 40:53
  Screw hands him a cassette.
• 40:55
  Have you heard this?
• 41:00
  [crosstalk], like hip hop artists
• 41:02
  that like attribute to Mexicanos.
• 41:04
  Like.
• 41:06
  Being the bulk of
• 41:08
  their fan base and the fan base
• 41:10
  that actually, like, keeps them
• 41:11
  employed.
• 41:12
  They were like, they were like,
• 41:14
  yeah, Black people were at our
• 41:15
  shows. But for the most part, it's
• 41:17
  Latinos where a lot of them
• 41:19
  were like Mexicans, but they were
• 41:21
  like, Latinos are the ones that are
• 41:23
  at shows that are like buying the
• 41:24
  merch, buying the records, like
• 41:26
  being coming to shows, paying the
• 41:28
  fares like they were like in hip
• 41:30
  hop.
• 41:31
  It was like Bun B said that. Bun B
• 41:33
  and I can't remember.
• 41:34
  I think it was not Scarface, but it
• 41:36
  was like other cats that were just
• 41:37
  saying like, no, I stayed
• 41:39
  alive and relevant because
• 41:41
  of Latinos in America.
• 41:43
  Which we play with Bun B not
• 41:45
  too long ago. Yeah.
• 41:47
  This is Manny.
• 41:48
  We did a backyard barbecue.
• 41:50
  Like six years ago.
• 41:52
  No, we did it twice at
• 41:54
  little darlings and.
• 41:56
  Yeah, music in them.
• 41:57
  And you put this together
• 41:59
  and, you know, it was like, you
• 42:00
  know, he came out with his burger.
• 42:02
  So it was like the year before, and,
• 42:04
  I mean, we were like, oh my God,
• 42:05
  we're going to be like on stage,
• 42:07
  you know, before Bun B.
• 42:10
  I was more excited for Paul Wall.
• 42:11
  There was like a moment. They were
• 42:12
  like, oh, he might need a DJ.
• 42:14
  You want a DJ from like, oh [bleep]
• 42:16
  yeah. It's going to be incredible.
• 42:17
  So,
• 42:19
  I didn't mean to cut you off.
• 42:21
  No, no, no.
• 42:22
  I love that Paul was just rocking
• 42:23
  the gray right now.
• 42:25
  Hell, yeah. I love it to death.
• 42:26
  I'll be there shortly.
• 42:28
  You know.
• 42:29
  We're there right now.
• 42:29
  Yeah. Shut up.
• 42:31
  Aging is tough.
• 42:34
  Yeah, man, none of you live that.
• 42:35
  No, no, no, just put that aside.
• 42:37
  Just looks like you look wonderful.
• 42:39
  Yeah. Did I say that?
• 42:40
  Just let me paint you guys a
• 42:42
  picture. Yeah, I see an Adonis
• 42:44
  in front of me.
• 42:45
  I know you are, Cat.
• 42:47
  That is just a golden god.
• 42:49
  Yeah, yeah, that is exactly
• 42:51
  what it.
• 42:51
  It's no lies.
• 42:53
  No lies told.
• 42:55
  See? Everyone in the room agrees.
• 42:55
  Accurate facts.
• 42:56
  If you lie, I'm hurting.
• 43:00
  I look great on the radio.
• 43:04
  We. I was gonna ask a question,
• 43:06
  man. Now that you
• 43:08
  threw me off at that.
• 43:08
  Now I'm thinking I'm bad because
• 43:10
  he's good.
• 43:11
  That's my. That's my move.
• 43:12
  That's. You totally killed the
• 43:14
  party.
• 43:14
  Nice crunching
• 43:16
  numbers. That guy.
• 43:17
  God, yeah.
• 43:18
  Batting a thousand over here.
• 43:22
  More from Peligrosa after this.
• 43:23
  [music]
• 43:27
  You're listening to ¡Vamos Verde!.
• 43:29
  And we're talking to Austin FC's
• 43:30
  official game day DJs, the
• 43:32
  collective Peligrosa.
• 43:35
  Your involvement with the team,
• 43:36
  has it open doors that you wouldn't
• 43:38
  have normally have had open to you
• 43:40
  before?
• 43:41
  I think every time you're
• 43:43
  in the public eye, there's
• 43:46
  opportunity for that.
• 43:48
  So. Absolutely, I mean, it.
• 43:50
  Stadiums sold out 21,000
• 43:53
  seats up for
• 43:55
  last, you know, a couple of years.
• 43:56
  No doubt.
• 43:58
  You're pretty visible to
• 44:00
  so many people.
• 44:01
  So. And I remember, I've
• 44:03
  talked to, you know, coworkers,
• 44:06
  about that gig because there are
• 44:07
  there's a lot of fans there.
• 44:09
  And, you know, just
• 44:11
  kind of their faces light up to,
• 44:13
  you know, just because, like, wow,
• 44:15
  that must be an amazing feeling.
• 44:16
  And it is like playing to that
• 44:18
  many people.
• 44:19
  And then just, the
• 44:21
  vibe there is so
• 44:23
  amazing as it is.
• 44:25
  You know, I'm I feel like.
• 44:27
  I'm, I feel just really fortunate to
• 44:29
  be a part of it and grateful
• 44:31
  and blessed.
• 44:33
  Now you say coworkers, you don't
• 44:35
  mean he's fine gentlemen.
• 44:36
  No, my day gig, day gig.
• 44:38
  So.
• 44:39
  So you go from
• 44:41
  deejaying effectively,
• 44:44
  a 2.5 hour long party
• 44:46
  for 20,000 people,
• 44:48
  and then you do what?
• 44:49
  I substitute teach.
• 44:51
  For what level of.
• 44:53
  School? Elementary at Zavala.
• 44:55
  Shout out to Zavala Elementary.
• 44:56
  That is.
• 44:57
  Yeah.
• 44:58
  Intense.
• 44:59
  That's that's fun.
• 45:00
  First time hearing about it. By the
• 45:01
  way, you are amazing.
• 45:03
  It's amazing.
• 45:03
  I mean, actually, this this is a
• 45:05
  pretty this.
• 45:06
  There are parallels you can draw.
• 45:07
  You have a...
• 45:09
  Absolutely, we're his children.
• 45:09
  You've got a crew
• 45:12
  that kind of back you up.
• 45:13
  But for the most part, you're out
• 45:15
  there alone. Yeah.
• 45:16
  You've got an audience that is
• 45:18
  a little on the fence about you to
• 45:20
  begin with, right?
• 45:21
  And you have to win them over.
• 45:23
  Yeah. It's true.
• 45:24
  And,
• 45:26
  and, you know, they may have seen
• 45:28
  you before at another show,
• 45:30
  when you were substituting.
• 45:33
  You were Mrs. Brown's class.
• 45:34
  Yeah. But but,
• 45:36
  you know, they're still like.
• 45:37
  Well, I don't know, what are you
• 45:38
  going to do today? You know what?
• 45:40
  You're only as good as your last
• 45:41
  set.
• 45:42
  At Zavala. I've been there
• 45:44
  for almost two months now, so
• 45:46
  I've gotten to know the students.
• 45:47
  So you got a residency gig?
• 45:48
  [crosstalk]
• 45:53
  Before I did that.
• 45:54
  Going to a new school every day.
• 45:55
  That was it. That was a trip.
• 45:56
  Yeah. And, like, I'm sure explaining
• 45:59
  to them. Yep.
• 46:00
  I just deejay Q2.
• 46:01
  Yeah, I told them they're like, no
• 46:03
  way, Mr. Lopez, you?
• 46:05
  I'm like, what do I not look like I
• 46:06
  do?
• 46:06
  No, you look like a nerd.
• 46:09
  Well, I mean, so I had to bust out
• 46:10
  of my pictures, and I'm like, wow.
• 46:13
  Can I go? Can you take me?
• 46:15
  Immediately,
• 46:19
  if you're good.
• 46:21
  Immediately, they're like, where can
• 46:22
  I get free tickets?
• 46:23
  Yeah.
• 46:24
  That happens with adult humans as
• 46:26
  well. Oh, yeah.
• 46:27
  The minute that they find out like
• 46:28
  you do what now?
• 46:30
  What's your takeaway when you do
• 46:31
  shows there? What?
• 46:32
  When you walk away, when you're hit
• 46:34
  the bus or whatever you're doing on
• 46:35
  the way home.
• 46:36
  What's the feeling you guys get?
• 46:38
  This is Trey.
• 46:39
  It's kind of a rush, almost.
• 46:41
  Or this, like, elevated
• 46:44
  experience, you know, just.
• 46:46
  I mean, like I said earlier,
• 46:48
  sports was a huge part of my life.
• 46:50
  So being in that
• 46:52
  atmosphere and,
• 46:55
  I've mainly gone to baseball games
• 46:56
  and basketball games, I've never
• 46:58
  really been to a soccer stadium
• 47:00
  that is
• 47:02
  bumpin like that.
• 47:03
  You know what I mean?
• 47:04
  So and then being a part of
• 47:06
  it and just thinking, wow, I just
• 47:08
  we just got to play for the home
• 47:10
  team.
• 47:11
  So like 20,000.
• 47:12
  And if we win it's feels even
• 47:14
  better. You know.
• 47:16
  And so this year
• 47:18
  like last year, what I really like
• 47:20
  about Austin FC is they
• 47:22
  have incorporated so much of the
• 47:23
  Austin artist bands.
• 47:26
  So the idea
• 47:28
  to like
• 47:30
  have someone in our crew
• 47:32
  create the theme song
• 47:34
  or the song that's played right
• 47:36
  before kick off, that
• 47:38
  was something that was, you know, I
• 47:39
  thought about that, during the
• 47:41
  off season, and I mentioned it to,
• 47:44
  someone in the production team,
• 47:46
  Alfredo, one
• 47:48
  night at the Peligrosa and I'm like,
• 47:50
  hey, you know how we use those
• 47:51
  songs? We've been playing other
• 47:52
  people's songs the last couple of
• 47:54
  years before, right before a
• 47:55
  whistle, like, oh, what if?
• 47:56
  What if like, we do our own and
• 47:58
  produce it, you know?
• 48:00
  So Orion went to town and created
• 48:02
  this crazy beat.
• 48:03
  [music]
• 48:21
  Like you say. We we brought on board
• 48:23
  Z and,
• 48:25
  so yeah.
• 48:26
  So now it's just another level.
• 48:28
  Every year I think we've been able
• 48:30
  to just kind of elevate
• 48:32
  it a little bit.
• 48:33
  But yeah, just, you know,
• 48:35
  and it also walking out with
• 48:37
  the crowd together, it's
• 48:39
  pretty dope for sure.
• 48:41
  I always like that. Like whenever
• 48:42
  they do halftime.
• 48:43
  And you'll see people just kind of
• 48:44
  like, you know, strutting
• 48:46
  on their way to go grab some that
• 48:48
  has a very like serious gait.
• 48:50
  You know, the way that they're
• 48:51
  moving, it's like, oh, that dude's
• 48:53
  on a mission. And then you'll just
• 48:54
  see him kind of like break a little
• 48:56
  bit like, oh [bleep], that's
• 48:57
  my jam.
• 48:58
  Or just like, oh, cool.
• 49:00
  And then you'll just see him stop
• 49:01
  and then either go do what they're
• 49:02
  doing or circle back, you know,
• 49:04
  later, and then they're just like,
• 49:06
  oh, hey. Yeah.
• 49:07
  And it's just it's really funny to
• 49:09
  see someone's entire mood melt
• 49:11
  in front of you of just like,
• 49:13
  I got to go do something and I'm
• 49:15
  going to be there, get, you know,
• 49:16
  get back to my seat.
• 49:17
  And then they're just like, oh,
• 49:18
  [bleep], let's have a little party,
• 49:19
  like let's dance a little bit.
• 49:20
  And then they and then be on their
• 49:22
  way. You know, it's funny,
• 49:25
  I think that's my favorite part.
• 49:25
  I would I would add something
• 49:28
  to Trey. Everything that Trey said,
• 49:29
  I definitely feel super
• 49:31
  high when I get out of out of the
• 49:33
  shows because of the energy
• 49:35
  that I've never experienced before.
• 49:36
  But I started seeing kids
• 49:39
  show up right on our stage,
• 49:42
  right? As soon as we're playing,
• 49:43
  they're there, they're just waiting
• 49:45
  and it's almost like, we're,
• 49:47
  we're dancing, you know?
• 49:48
  They're just like they're expressing
• 49:50
  themselves. There's almost like
• 49:52
  future breakdancers, you
• 49:54
  know? And they're doing like, a
• 49:55
  weird way.
• 49:57
  Wait, let me describe what I'm
• 49:58
  seeing. Oh, yeah.
• 49:59
  Here we go.
• 50:01
  Yeah. Speaking in tongues.
• 50:02
  Oh my gosh.
• 50:03
  Beautiful.
• 50:04
  It was so, so, so beautiful.
• 50:08
  Yeah I'm there for the team.
• 50:09
  So if they need me to play,
• 50:12
  you know, two hours of the sound
• 50:14
  of duck quacking, I'm there.
• 50:16
  Doesn't matter what it is. Just get
• 50:18
  it in.
• 50:19
  That album's pretty good.
• 50:21
  Two hours of the sounds of ducks
• 50:22
  quacking. [crosstalk].
• 50:23
  There's a mallard in there.
• 50:26
  That's the way I make bread.
• 50:27
  Yeah.
• 50:28
  I've never heard a mallard quite
• 50:29
  like I've heard a mallard on that
• 50:30
  record.
• 50:32
  And, we'll come by Saturday.
• 50:34
  Please come say hi to whoever's
• 50:36
  either outside.
• 50:37
  I'll dig through your crates.
• 50:38
  Yeah, I'll pick, like, Eartha Kitt
• 50:40
  and.
• 50:41
  Oh, yeah.
• 50:42
  Let's go.
• 50:43
  So. And also third Friday of the
• 50:45
  month, you know, if you're looking
• 50:46
  for a party third Friday of the
• 50:48
  month, that's when Peligrosa is up.
• 50:50

  equipment, Juan and I are doing a

  set.
• 51:03
  Yeah. [crosstalk]

  I assume you're just going to deejay
• 51:10
  your podcast.
• 51:11
  Yeah, we're just gonna get, you
• 51:12
  know, it's gonna be a remix that.
• 51:14
  Like live cutting.
• 51:15
  [crosstalk] You'll have to take that duck quack out.
• 51:20
  We had to whittle down an hour
• 51:23
  and a half of that conversation,
• 51:25
  so.
• 51:25
  It was a good chat.
• 51:26
  It was a really I mean, I had no
• 51:28
  expectation for, what,
• 51:30
  what they would bring in, man, they
• 51:31
  were all very interesting and very
• 51:33
  cool. And we only met a percentage
• 51:35
  of them. There's still more
• 51:36
  Peligrosa and lots of danger.
• 51:38
  So lots of danger out there.
