00:00:00,041 --> 00:00:00,833
The proof of work
2
00:00:00,833 --> 00:00:01,708
for the Beatles
3
00:00:01,708 --> 00:00:03,416
was going to Hamburg
4
00:00:03,416 --> 00:00:03,916
and playing
5
00:00:03,916 --> 00:00:05,708
14 hours a day, and George
6
00:00:05,708 --> 00:00:06,875
Harrison was 17
7
00:00:06,875 --> 00:00:08,125
when they started doing that.
8
00:00:08,125 --> 00:00:08,583
Like
9
00:00:08,583 --> 00:00:09,750
he was super young
10
00:00:09,750 --> 00:00:10,666
and they were
11
00:00:10,666 --> 00:00:11,458
they were kids
12
00:00:11,458 --> 00:00:13,208
just goofing around.
13
00:00:13,208 --> 00:00:14,500
But over such a short
14
00:00:14,500 --> 00:00:15,583
period of time,
15
00:00:15,583 --> 00:00:16,708
like four movies
16
00:00:16,708 --> 00:00:17,791
and 11 albums
17
00:00:17,791 --> 00:00:18,875
and how many top
18
00:00:18,875 --> 00:00:20,791
hits, it's just amazing.
19
00:00:20,791 --> 00:00:21,958
I think you have to
20
00:00:21,958 --> 00:00:23,875
set boundaries for yourself.
21
00:00:23,875 --> 00:00:25,041
Otherwise, like,
22
00:00:25,041 --> 00:00:26,125
you can drown in the
23
00:00:26,125 --> 00:00:28,000
options you have.
24
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,083
It's what's so amazing
25
00:00:29,083 --> 00:00:30,000
about the computer
26
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:30,958
era is that you have
27
00:00:30,958 --> 00:00:32,041
all these options and, like,
28
00:00:32,041 --> 00:00:32,833
you can do anything
29
00:00:32,833 --> 00:00:33,791
with your life.
30
00:00:33,791 --> 00:00:35,333
We're not forced to pick
31
00:00:35,333 --> 00:00:36,583
one thing anymore.
32
00:00:36,583 --> 00:00:37,541
So therefore,
33
00:00:37,541 --> 00:00:38,875
no one gets super
34
00:00:38,875 --> 00:00:40,000
good at this one thing
35
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:40,916
because they can always
36
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:41,916
choose the number.
37
00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:42,250
With this,
38
00:00:42,250 --> 00:00:43,625
I can go and do this instead.
39
00:00:43,625 --> 00:00:45,000
Bjorn Borg
40
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,250
the same way you were
41
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:47,375
before the internet.
42
00:00:47,375 --> 00:00:48,041
And I think
43
00:00:48,041 --> 00:00:49,000
a lot of creativity
44
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,125
is born out of boredom.
45
00:00:50,125 --> 00:00:51,083
I actually used to own
46
00:00:51,083 --> 00:00:52,458
a bar in New York City.
47
00:00:52,458 --> 00:00:53,250
We had the second
48
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:54,875
Bitcoin ATM,
49
00:00:54,875 --> 00:00:56,458
in Manhattan at the time
50
00:00:56,458 --> 00:00:57,291
that was on the Lower
51
00:00:57,291 --> 00:00:58,166
East Side.
52
00:00:58,166 --> 00:00:59,458
So been in Bitcoin
53
00:00:59,458 --> 00:01:00,208
for a little while
54
00:01:00,208 --> 00:01:01,500
and my biggest regret
55
00:01:01,500 --> 00:01:03,208
is not working in bitcoin
56
00:01:03,208 --> 00:01:03,875
full time
57
00:01:03,875 --> 00:01:05,125
and starting back then.
58
00:01:05,125 --> 00:01:06,916
But I'm making up for it now.
59
00:01:11,125 --> 00:01:13,291
Most welcome to the
60
00:01:13,291 --> 00:01:14,625
Bitcoin Infinity Show,
61
00:01:14,625 --> 00:01:15,541
or rather
62
00:01:15,541 --> 00:01:16,583
the Knudsen Home show.
63
00:01:16,583 --> 00:01:17,000
Well, I guess
64
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,166
because Luke isn't here.
65
00:01:18,166 --> 00:01:19,166
Unfortunately,
66
00:01:19,166 --> 00:01:20,750
but welcome anyway.
67
00:01:20,750 --> 00:01:22,166
Finally.
68
00:01:22,166 --> 00:01:23,666
And it's good to be here
69
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:24,500
hanging out with you
70
00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:25,250
on this show.
71
00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:26,333
And Luke has to be
72
00:01:26,333 --> 00:01:27,416
pissed, right?
73
00:01:27,416 --> 00:01:28,083
Because we talked
74
00:01:28,083 --> 00:01:29,541
about doing this
75
00:01:29,541 --> 00:01:30,625
and Luke stopped here,
76
00:01:30,625 --> 00:01:31,708
so we'll have to do it again
77
00:01:31,708 --> 00:01:33,208
and make up for it.
78
00:01:33,208 --> 00:01:34,666
Absolutely, absolutely.
79
00:01:34,666 --> 00:01:36,666
I bet he won't want
80
00:01:36,666 --> 00:01:37,541
wanted to have been here.
81
00:01:37,541 --> 00:01:39,000
But yeah,
82
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
we we saw each other,
83
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,166
like, last week
84
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:43,500
and, did a rocket
85
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:45,458
motor show in San Salvador
86
00:01:45,458 --> 00:01:46,666
and one in Colombia, too.
87
00:01:46,666 --> 00:01:47,416
But let's not talk
88
00:01:47,416 --> 00:01:49,916
too much about that one.
89
00:01:49,916 --> 00:01:50,666
They turned out
90
00:01:50,666 --> 00:01:52,041
the lights on you, Keanu.
91
00:01:52,041 --> 00:01:52,875
They tried.
92
00:01:52,875 --> 00:01:54,791
They tried to cut power,
93
00:01:55,958 --> 00:01:58,083
which was perfect.
94
00:01:58,083 --> 00:01:59,208
Now we'll be forever
95
00:01:59,208 --> 00:02:00,583
remembered as rebels
96
00:02:00,583 --> 00:02:02,125
in, soundtrack adore.
97
00:02:02,125 --> 00:02:03,583
Because, of course,
98
00:02:03,583 --> 00:02:04,500
the show must go on.
99
00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:05,833
We refused to stop
100
00:02:05,833 --> 00:02:06,875
when they told us to.
101
00:02:06,875 --> 00:02:08,625
And, I absolutely love that.
102
00:02:08,625 --> 00:02:09,083
It was
103
00:02:09,083 --> 00:02:09,666
very much
104
00:02:09,666 --> 00:02:10,916
in the spirit of rock n roll.
105
00:02:10,916 --> 00:02:12,750
The whole the whole evening.
106
00:02:12,750 --> 00:02:14,333
Yeah, the show must go on.
107
00:02:14,333 --> 00:02:15,416
And in order for it to go
108
00:02:15,416 --> 00:02:16,125
on, Canute
109
00:02:16,125 --> 00:02:17,500
and I are walking to El
110
00:02:17,500 --> 00:02:19,625
Salvador music stores,
111
00:02:19,625 --> 00:02:20,583
trying
112
00:02:20,583 --> 00:02:21,166
to, you know,
113
00:02:21,166 --> 00:02:22,666
Google Translate our way
114
00:02:22,666 --> 00:02:24,416
into negotiating
115
00:02:24,416 --> 00:02:27,333
a Mexican Telecaster.
116
00:02:27,333 --> 00:02:29,541
So, yeah, something to play.
117
00:02:29,541 --> 00:02:31,125
It was absolutely beautiful.
118
00:02:31,125 --> 00:02:32,125
So thank you very much
119
00:02:32,125 --> 00:02:33,083
for that Telecaster
120
00:02:33,083 --> 00:02:33,958
you'll get to,
121
00:02:33,958 --> 00:02:34,916
to tell the story
122
00:02:34,916 --> 00:02:35,666
about what happened
123
00:02:35,666 --> 00:02:37,458
to that Telecaster real soon.
124
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:38,208
But first,
125
00:02:38,208 --> 00:02:39,375
let's start things off.
126
00:02:39,375 --> 00:02:39,916
Since you haven't
127
00:02:39,916 --> 00:02:41,000
been on the show before,
128
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,708
as far as I can remember.
129
00:02:42,708 --> 00:02:44,750
Let's, tell our audience
130
00:02:44,750 --> 00:02:46,666
a bit about Mr. Mossman.
131
00:02:46,666 --> 00:02:48,250
And who is he? Is who?
132
00:02:48,250 --> 00:02:49,291
When he found Bitcoin
133
00:02:49,291 --> 00:02:50,125
on what he does
134
00:02:50,125 --> 00:02:52,041
and how the Rock Komodo thing
135
00:02:52,041 --> 00:02:52,750
started and,
136
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:54,250
you know, everything else
137
00:02:54,250 --> 00:02:55,666
you want to tell us?
138
00:02:55,666 --> 00:02:57,166
Well, me,
139
00:02:57,166 --> 00:02:58,666
my friends call me mas.
140
00:02:58,666 --> 00:02:59,833
My name is Mike
141
00:02:59,833 --> 00:03:01,333
Jarmusch's, and,
142
00:03:01,333 --> 00:03:02,666
my company is Lightning
143
00:03:02,666 --> 00:03:03,375
Ventures.
144
00:03:03,375 --> 00:03:05,333
Lightning ventures
145
00:03:05,333 --> 00:03:06,208
is our website.
146
00:03:06,208 --> 00:03:06,375
We're
147
00:03:06,375 --> 00:03:07,916
about to get a brand new one,
148
00:03:07,916 --> 00:03:09,541
and we invest in Bitcoin
149
00:03:09,541 --> 00:03:11,166
startups, Bitcoin companies,
150
00:03:11,166 --> 00:03:11,958
early stage,
151
00:03:11,958 --> 00:03:12,750
later stage,
152
00:03:12,750 --> 00:03:13,708
we've probably invested
153
00:03:13,708 --> 00:03:16,958
in about 45 or more, Bitcoin
154
00:03:16,958 --> 00:03:19,125
only companies in the space
155
00:03:19,125 --> 00:03:21,541
that, we all know and love.
156
00:03:21,541 --> 00:03:23,375
So, we operate a little bit
157
00:03:23,375 --> 00:03:24,125
differently where
158
00:03:24,125 --> 00:03:25,250
we have a syndicate
159
00:03:25,250 --> 00:03:26,583
where anyone can invest.
160
00:03:26,583 --> 00:03:26,833
Right.
161
00:03:26,833 --> 00:03:27,500
So if you wanted
162
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:28,458
to get started with
163
00:03:28,458 --> 00:03:29,916
investing in early stage
164
00:03:29,916 --> 00:03:30,958
Bitcoin startups
165
00:03:30,958 --> 00:03:32,791
for like $1,000,
166
00:03:32,791 --> 00:03:34,666
we're a great resource
167
00:03:34,666 --> 00:03:35,375
and group
168
00:03:35,375 --> 00:03:37,375
as well as jobs and talent
169
00:03:37,375 --> 00:03:38,000
and all sorts
170
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,291
of other fun things.
171
00:03:39,291 --> 00:03:40,583
And recently
172
00:03:40,583 --> 00:03:41,125
a product
173
00:03:41,125 --> 00:03:41,625
of Lightning
174
00:03:41,625 --> 00:03:42,833
Ventures was Thunder
175
00:03:42,833 --> 00:03:43,375
Thunder
176
00:03:43,375 --> 00:03:44,416
that we just launched.
177
00:03:44,416 --> 00:03:46,583
Thunder, thunder.com
178
00:03:46,583 --> 00:03:48,208
is a regulation,
179
00:03:48,208 --> 00:03:49,916
crowdfunding portal
180
00:03:49,916 --> 00:03:51,625
where it's still equity.
181
00:03:51,625 --> 00:03:53,166
This is not like donations
182
00:03:53,166 --> 00:03:54,083
and Patreon,
183
00:03:54,083 --> 00:03:56,000
but it really widens it
184
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,625
to where anyone literally
185
00:03:57,625 --> 00:03:59,000
almost anyone,
186
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:00,583
can actually invest
187
00:04:00,583 --> 00:04:01,375
in some of these.
188
00:04:01,375 --> 00:04:02,166
So our first two
189
00:04:02,166 --> 00:04:02,916
deals on there,
190
00:04:02,916 --> 00:04:03,916
one is for jolts,
191
00:04:03,916 --> 00:04:05,125
they just had some big news
192
00:04:05,125 --> 00:04:05,875
in El Salvador
193
00:04:05,875 --> 00:04:06,416
and of course
194
00:04:06,416 --> 00:04:07,583
the orange pill app,
195
00:04:07,583 --> 00:04:09,166
which I think Kanoute,
196
00:04:09,166 --> 00:04:11,875
helps out with on that.
197
00:04:11,875 --> 00:04:12,875
But yeah, so that's what
198
00:04:12,875 --> 00:04:13,375
I'm up to
199
00:04:13,375 --> 00:04:14,333
is Lightning Ventures
200
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:15,833
and, Thunder Thunder
201
00:04:15,833 --> 00:04:17,333
when I found Bitcoin, well,
202
00:04:17,333 --> 00:04:18,041
I should be worth
203
00:04:18,041 --> 00:04:19,416
like $10 billion
204
00:04:19,416 --> 00:04:20,666
because I was pretty early
205
00:04:20,666 --> 00:04:21,541
in bitcoin.
206
00:04:21,541 --> 00:04:22,666
But like all of us,
207
00:04:22,666 --> 00:04:23,833
we didn't just,
208
00:04:23,833 --> 00:04:25,416
go head in,
209
00:04:25,416 --> 00:04:26,875
but it was somewhere around
210
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:28,375
that Max Keizer
211
00:04:28,375 --> 00:04:29,750
$3 area,
212
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:32,458
that 2013 ish area
213
00:04:32,458 --> 00:04:33,500
where it really started
214
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:34,375
paying,
215
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,500
a little bit of attention,
216
00:04:36,500 --> 00:04:38,416
and getting going with it.
217
00:04:38,416 --> 00:04:39,791
I actually used to own a bar
218
00:04:39,791 --> 00:04:40,666
in New York City.
219
00:04:40,666 --> 00:04:41,416
We had the second
220
00:04:41,416 --> 00:04:42,791
Bitcoin ATM,
221
00:04:42,791 --> 00:04:45,083
in Manhattan at the time.
222
00:04:45,083 --> 00:04:46,250
That was on the Lower
223
00:04:46,250 --> 00:04:47,125
East Side.
224
00:04:47,125 --> 00:04:48,916
So, been in Bitcoin
225
00:04:48,916 --> 00:04:49,666
for a little while,
226
00:04:49,666 --> 00:04:50,958
and my biggest regret
227
00:04:50,958 --> 00:04:51,958
is not working
228
00:04:51,958 --> 00:04:53,333
in Bitcoin full time
229
00:04:53,333 --> 00:04:55,125
and starting back then.
230
00:04:55,125 --> 00:04:56,083
But I'm
231
00:04:56,083 --> 00:04:57,375
making up for it now.
232
00:04:58,958 --> 00:04:59,916
You certainly are.
233
00:04:59,916 --> 00:05:01,375
And unlike this,
234
00:05:01,375 --> 00:05:02,333
Lightning Ventures
235
00:05:02,333 --> 00:05:03,083
and Thunder.
236
00:05:03,083 --> 00:05:04,375
Thunder is super interesting.
237
00:05:04,375 --> 00:05:05,041
And you're right,
238
00:05:05,041 --> 00:05:06,416
I am, an advisor
239
00:05:06,416 --> 00:05:07,416
for the orange pillar.
240
00:05:07,416 --> 00:05:09,625
Like disclaimer here is so.
241
00:05:09,625 --> 00:05:10,541
So how does that work?
242
00:05:10,541 --> 00:05:11,291
How does the thunder
243
00:05:11,291 --> 00:05:12,375
thunder thing work?
244
00:05:12,375 --> 00:05:13,375
You said anyway,
245
00:05:13,375 --> 00:05:14,375
anyone can invest.
246
00:05:14,375 --> 00:05:15,166
You can just
247
00:05:15,166 --> 00:05:16,500
shoot assets and become,
248
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,083
equity holder.
249
00:05:18,083 --> 00:05:19,458
Is that how it works?
250
00:05:19,458 --> 00:05:20,708
Yeah, well, it's not like a
251
00:05:20,708 --> 00:05:21,833
no KYC
252
00:05:21,833 --> 00:05:22,833
kind of peer to peer
253
00:05:22,833 --> 00:05:23,416
deal, like,
254
00:05:23,416 --> 00:05:25,083
this is a regulated space.
255
00:05:25,083 --> 00:05:27,291
We have, a license and Finra
256
00:05:27,291 --> 00:05:28,791
and all that good stuff.
257
00:05:28,791 --> 00:05:30,541
But, investors,
258
00:05:30,541 --> 00:05:31,416
pretty much
259
00:05:31,416 --> 00:05:33,333
most anywhere in the world,
260
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,916
can sign up for Thunder.
261
00:05:34,916 --> 00:05:35,375
Thunder
262
00:05:35,375 --> 00:05:37,166
with very little friction.
263
00:05:37,166 --> 00:05:38,458
And if they had
264
00:05:38,458 --> 00:05:40,083
an opportunity to invest
265
00:05:40,083 --> 00:05:41,583
in the orange pill app,
266
00:05:41,583 --> 00:05:42,375
they could invest
267
00:05:42,375 --> 00:05:44,166
maybe $100 minimum,
268
00:05:44,166 --> 00:05:46,083
and that would be equity.
269
00:05:46,083 --> 00:05:47,666
That would be the same
270
00:05:47,666 --> 00:05:49,500
kind of terms as the suits
271
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:50,250
and all the
272
00:05:50,250 --> 00:05:51,500
the big investors
273
00:05:51,500 --> 00:05:52,458
that were coming into
274
00:05:52,458 --> 00:05:53,250
these rounds
275
00:05:53,250 --> 00:05:54,583
were kind of a pleb
276
00:05:54,583 --> 00:05:56,125
investment platform
277
00:05:56,125 --> 00:05:57,250
or a way for the plebs
278
00:05:57,250 --> 00:05:58,291
to get started.
279
00:05:58,291 --> 00:05:58,791
Also,
280
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:00,041
if you're a Bitcoin startup
281
00:06:00,041 --> 00:06:00,541
or company
282
00:06:00,541 --> 00:06:02,041
looking to raise money,
283
00:06:02,041 --> 00:06:03,291
you should reach out,
284
00:06:03,291 --> 00:06:04,041
fill out the form
285
00:06:04,041 --> 00:06:04,916
on the website.
286
00:06:04,916 --> 00:06:05,750
Not only that,
287
00:06:05,750 --> 00:06:06,958
but maybe even something
288
00:06:06,958 --> 00:06:08,208
like podcasters
289
00:06:08,208 --> 00:06:09,166
or media things.
290
00:06:09,166 --> 00:06:10,041
Maybe,
291
00:06:10,041 --> 00:06:12,333
maybe canoed, with,
292
00:06:12,333 --> 00:06:13,875
you know, everything divided
293
00:06:13,875 --> 00:06:14,666
and the Infinity
294
00:06:14,666 --> 00:06:16,125
Show wanted to do,
295
00:06:16,125 --> 00:06:17,666
do a raise or something.
296
00:06:17,666 --> 00:06:19,166
We're looking for creative,
297
00:06:19,166 --> 00:06:20,875
things like that to.
298
00:06:22,916 --> 00:06:23,916
Yeah, that definitely
299
00:06:23,916 --> 00:06:25,083
sounds like something worth
300
00:06:25,083 --> 00:06:26,916
looking into a little deeper.
301
00:06:26,916 --> 00:06:27,541
And, I'm
302
00:06:27,541 --> 00:06:28,500
sorry I haven't done that
303
00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:29,458
yet, but, as you know,
304
00:06:29,458 --> 00:06:31,375
I've been I've been busy,
305
00:06:31,375 --> 00:06:33,916
and so have you. The.
306
00:06:33,916 --> 00:06:35,208
And we've been busy together
307
00:06:35,208 --> 00:06:36,500
with these rock Komodo shows.
308
00:06:36,500 --> 00:06:37,916
So what's, like the,
309
00:06:37,916 --> 00:06:39,291
the story there.
310
00:06:39,291 --> 00:06:40,041
So we tell,
311
00:06:40,041 --> 00:06:41,333
tell the people
312
00:06:41,333 --> 00:06:42,500
about how that whole thing
313
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,166
started, what it is and like.
314
00:06:44,166 --> 00:06:44,416
Yeah.
315
00:06:44,416 --> 00:06:45,291
Can can you give us
316
00:06:45,291 --> 00:06:46,666
your version of what,
317
00:06:46,666 --> 00:06:48,708
Satoshi Nakamoto is
318
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,208
and how he came to be?
319
00:06:50,208 --> 00:06:51,166
Okay, but you know what?
320
00:06:51,166 --> 00:06:52,125
You got to interrupt me
321
00:06:52,125 --> 00:06:53,333
or stop me if you want to,
322
00:06:53,333 --> 00:06:55,500
add some details. Okay?
323
00:06:55,500 --> 00:06:56,625
I, I am the great
324
00:06:56,625 --> 00:06:57,625
interrupter, and,
325
00:06:57,625 --> 00:06:58,500
yeah,
326
00:06:58,500 --> 00:06:59,958
Lou can tell you
327
00:06:59,958 --> 00:07:00,625
all about that.
328
00:07:00,625 --> 00:07:01,500
My interruptions.
329
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,333
So don't worry about that.
330
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:04,583
Well, for anyone who knows
331
00:07:04,583 --> 00:07:06,458
ugly old goat,
332
00:07:06,458 --> 00:07:08,208
you know, that's the.
333
00:07:08,208 --> 00:07:09,958
He's a real interesting guy.
334
00:07:09,958 --> 00:07:10,583
And he is an
335
00:07:10,583 --> 00:07:11,750
amazing human being,
336
00:07:11,750 --> 00:07:12,625
for sure.
337
00:07:12,625 --> 00:07:14,500
But ugly old goat was doing
338
00:07:14,500 --> 00:07:16,916
a conference in Mexico, and,
339
00:07:16,916 --> 00:07:19,291
I had never met Kanoute.
340
00:07:19,291 --> 00:07:20,916
But Kanoute was invited
341
00:07:20,916 --> 00:07:21,916
and came down there,
342
00:07:21,916 --> 00:07:23,500
and I was there with honor.
343
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:24,666
And when we got to
344
00:07:24,666 --> 00:07:25,750
the conference,
345
00:07:25,750 --> 00:07:26,875
it was beautiful,
346
00:07:26,875 --> 00:07:28,666
the venue was beautiful
347
00:07:28,666 --> 00:07:30,125
and, you know, went all out.
348
00:07:30,125 --> 00:07:32,083
He had like busts and statues
349
00:07:32,083 --> 00:07:33,291
on the stage of like,
350
00:07:33,291 --> 00:07:34,166
Saifuddin
351
00:07:34,166 --> 00:07:35,291
and all these things.
352
00:07:35,291 --> 00:07:36,125
And, you know,
353
00:07:36,125 --> 00:07:37,333
really went out.
354
00:07:37,333 --> 00:07:38,291
And it turns out
355
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:39,708
that basically everyone
356
00:07:39,708 --> 00:07:40,583
in the audience
357
00:07:40,583 --> 00:07:41,958
at the conference
358
00:07:41,958 --> 00:07:43,583
was a speaker.
359
00:07:43,583 --> 00:07:45,208
So you had this big,
360
00:07:45,208 --> 00:07:46,375
beautiful room
361
00:07:46,375 --> 00:07:47,333
and it looked good.
362
00:07:47,333 --> 00:07:48,500
The lights were great,
363
00:07:48,500 --> 00:07:49,708
everything was great.
364
00:07:49,708 --> 00:07:51,500
And there was probably 38
365
00:07:51,500 --> 00:07:52,208
people here,
366
00:07:52,208 --> 00:07:53,833
and 33 of
367
00:07:53,833 --> 00:07:56,041
those people were on stage.
368
00:07:56,041 --> 00:07:58,458
So, it was
369
00:07:58,458 --> 00:07:59,375
it was a fun,
370
00:07:59,375 --> 00:08:00,416
interesting event.
371
00:08:00,416 --> 00:08:00,708
And that's
372
00:08:00,708 --> 00:08:01,958
where I met Kanoute.
373
00:08:01,958 --> 00:08:03,833
Because I used to
374
00:08:03,833 --> 00:08:04,583
always carry
375
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:05,875
around a chess set.
376
00:08:05,875 --> 00:08:07,083
I haven't brought it
377
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:07,625
to the last
378
00:08:07,625 --> 00:08:09,166
few Bitcoin conferences,
379
00:08:09,166 --> 00:08:10,708
but I would love to bring,
380
00:08:10,708 --> 00:08:12,375
and do these Bitcoin blitz
381
00:08:12,375 --> 00:08:13,041
sort of chess
382
00:08:13,041 --> 00:08:14,625
tournaments for SATs
383
00:08:14,625 --> 00:08:15,125
and all that
384
00:08:15,125 --> 00:08:15,958
kind of fun stuff.
385
00:08:15,958 --> 00:08:16,916
And I had a chess
386
00:08:16,916 --> 00:08:18,166
set in Mexico.
387
00:08:18,166 --> 00:08:20,416
And Canutt can really play.
388
00:08:20,416 --> 00:08:21,958
He could really play.
389
00:08:21,958 --> 00:08:23,416
So our first bond
390
00:08:23,416 --> 00:08:24,416
was really over
391
00:08:24,416 --> 00:08:25,958
some blitz chess,
392
00:08:25,958 --> 00:08:27,583
late at night
393
00:08:27,583 --> 00:08:28,666
and, on our
394
00:08:28,666 --> 00:08:30,083
first few days there.
395
00:08:31,291 --> 00:08:32,000
Yeah, I think your
396
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,166
first words to me
397
00:08:33,166 --> 00:08:34,250
was,
398
00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:34,583
may I
399
00:08:34,583 --> 00:08:35,333
interest you
400
00:08:35,333 --> 00:08:38,333
in an adult beverage?
401
00:08:38,666 --> 00:08:39,708
And then we had a couple
402
00:08:39,708 --> 00:08:40,125
of drinks
403
00:08:40,125 --> 00:08:41,708
and played some chess.
404
00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:44,000
You know,
405
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,166
and, to add to this, this
406
00:08:46,166 --> 00:08:47,125
was this was, like,
407
00:08:47,125 --> 00:08:49,333
late stage lockdown bullshit.
408
00:08:49,333 --> 00:08:51,500
I refuse to call it
409
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:52,458
late stage Covid
410
00:08:52,458 --> 00:08:54,291
because I prefer to call it
411
00:08:54,291 --> 00:08:56,166
late stage lockdown bullshit.
412
00:08:56,166 --> 00:08:58,083
And,
413
00:08:58,083 --> 00:08:59,333
so I think that's,
414
00:08:59,333 --> 00:09:00,583
that played a huge part
415
00:09:00,583 --> 00:09:01,125
in why,
416
00:09:01,125 --> 00:09:02,208
why there weren't
417
00:09:02,208 --> 00:09:03,833
many attendees at the,
418
00:09:03,833 --> 00:09:05,416
at the event.
419
00:09:05,416 --> 00:09:07,291
I would say there were,
420
00:09:07,291 --> 00:09:08,416
a few more guests
421
00:09:08,416 --> 00:09:10,000
than maybe five, but but,
422
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,708
maybe an equal amount.
423
00:09:11,708 --> 00:09:12,500
Yeah. Yeah.
424
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:14,750
To to to, to not bash
425
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:15,916
ugly too much here.
426
00:09:15,916 --> 00:09:17,125
I mean, it wasn't his fault
427
00:09:17,125 --> 00:09:17,791
to begin with,
428
00:09:17,791 --> 00:09:18,833
but there were about
429
00:09:18,833 --> 00:09:20,333
an equal amount of guests,
430
00:09:20,333 --> 00:09:21,416
and, and speakers,
431
00:09:21,416 --> 00:09:22,500
I think something like
432
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:23,583
maybe a bit fewer
433
00:09:23,583 --> 00:09:25,250
guests, but,
434
00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:26,500
but we had a great time,
435
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:28,166
and he was such a sweet guy,
436
00:09:28,166 --> 00:09:28,750
and he,
437
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:30,333
treated us to all sorts
438
00:09:30,333 --> 00:09:33,333
of, luxurious things and
439
00:09:33,416 --> 00:09:34,125
various,
440
00:09:35,500 --> 00:09:35,875
things.
441
00:09:35,875 --> 00:09:36,541
And we
442
00:09:36,541 --> 00:09:37,291
we ended up,
443
00:09:37,291 --> 00:09:40,375
driving little buggies,
444
00:09:40,375 --> 00:09:43,250
in, beach buggy
445
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:44,916
bikes, slash cars.
446
00:09:44,916 --> 00:09:46,916
More cars than bikes,
447
00:09:46,916 --> 00:09:47,875
at a place called
448
00:09:47,875 --> 00:09:48,958
Horse Power Ranch.
449
00:09:48,958 --> 00:09:50,125
So, I'll let you take it
450
00:09:50,125 --> 00:09:50,833
from here.
451
00:09:50,833 --> 00:09:51,375
Well, no,
452
00:09:51,375 --> 00:09:53,000
I just wanted to add that.
453
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:53,416
Okay,
454
00:09:53,416 --> 00:09:54,958
so the horse power ranch,
455
00:09:54,958 --> 00:09:56,333
these were not just,
456
00:09:56,333 --> 00:09:58,041
like, little buggy
457
00:09:58,041 --> 00:09:59,333
things, okay? These were not.
458
00:09:59,333 --> 00:10:01,041
This was not the kids thing.
459
00:10:01,041 --> 00:10:01,791
You know, when you go
460
00:10:01,791 --> 00:10:03,166
to, like, a tourist place
461
00:10:03,166 --> 00:10:04,375
and you want to ride horses,
462
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:05,166
but you can tell
463
00:10:05,166 --> 00:10:05,833
this isn't like
464
00:10:05,833 --> 00:10:07,875
the real horse riding place,
465
00:10:07,875 --> 00:10:08,291
or you want to
466
00:10:08,291 --> 00:10:09,875
drive a fast car
467
00:10:09,875 --> 00:10:10,250
and they,
468
00:10:10,250 --> 00:10:10,625
you know, it's
469
00:10:10,625 --> 00:10:11,625
like kind of like a joke
470
00:10:11,625 --> 00:10:12,333
for tourists.
471
00:10:12,333 --> 00:10:13,708
This was not that
472
00:10:13,708 --> 00:10:14,958
these vehicles
473
00:10:14,958 --> 00:10:16,875
were freakin Siri
474
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:18,166
s, man, okay?
475
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:20,875
And there were no guardrails,
476
00:10:20,875 --> 00:10:21,500
okay?
477
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:22,333
You were literally
478
00:10:22,333 --> 00:10:23,750
you were no guardrails.
479
00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:25,291
This was completely off road.
480
00:10:25,291 --> 00:10:26,750
It was insane.
481
00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:27,833
And it was actually
482
00:10:27,833 --> 00:10:29,458
very dangerous
483
00:10:29,458 --> 00:10:30,958
thinking about it. Okay.
484
00:10:30,958 --> 00:10:32,750
And the lady from the hotel,
485
00:10:32,750 --> 00:10:33,791
as I'm getting ready
486
00:10:33,791 --> 00:10:34,416
to take off,
487
00:10:34,416 --> 00:10:35,708
there's dust everywhere.
488
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:36,791
You have to wear a mask.
489
00:10:36,791 --> 00:10:37,541
It was the only time
490
00:10:37,541 --> 00:10:38,041
that you wanted
491
00:10:38,041 --> 00:10:39,291
to wear a mask
492
00:10:39,291 --> 00:10:41,416
during the mask era of Covid,
493
00:10:41,416 --> 00:10:42,500
because there was so much
494
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:43,000
to us.
495
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,333
The lady from the hotel
496
00:10:44,333 --> 00:10:45,250
comes up to me
497
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:46,416
as I'm about to leave
498
00:10:46,416 --> 00:10:47,083
in this car.
499
00:10:47,083 --> 00:10:48,500
I'm actually with one gal
500
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:49,208
and she looks at me
501
00:10:49,208 --> 00:10:50,125
and she says,
502
00:10:50,125 --> 00:10:50,583
you know,
503
00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:51,708
we don't have insurance,
504
00:10:51,708 --> 00:10:52,583
right?
505
00:10:52,583 --> 00:10:53,375
That's literally
506
00:10:53,375 --> 00:10:53,958
what she said.
507
00:10:53,958 --> 00:10:55,250
She's like an old Mexican
508
00:10:55,250 --> 00:10:55,750
lady, like,
509
00:10:55,750 --> 00:10:56,083
I don't
510
00:10:56,083 --> 00:10:57,541
she wasn't making a joke
511
00:10:57,541 --> 00:10:58,250
like she was being
512
00:10:58,250 --> 00:10:59,541
completely serious.
513
00:10:59,541 --> 00:11:00,166
And I don't know why
514
00:11:00,166 --> 00:11:01,708
she just said that to me,
515
00:11:01,708 --> 00:11:02,833
but that was
516
00:11:02,833 --> 00:11:03,916
really dangerous.
517
00:11:03,916 --> 00:11:06,500
But that was also really fun.
518
00:11:06,500 --> 00:11:06,791
Yeah,
519
00:11:06,791 --> 00:11:08,750
I shared rooms
520
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:10,458
with a guy called Victor,
521
00:11:10,458 --> 00:11:10,958
I think,
522
00:11:10,958 --> 00:11:14,291
and he is a, a Mexican guy.
523
00:11:14,291 --> 00:11:15,458
And and at this
524
00:11:15,458 --> 00:11:16,208
horse power ranch,
525
00:11:16,208 --> 00:11:19,166
we found a black widow. So.
526
00:11:19,166 --> 00:11:20,333
But he was trying to cook,
527
00:11:20,333 --> 00:11:21,041
and I'm like,
528
00:11:21,041 --> 00:11:21,833
Holy shit,
529
00:11:21,833 --> 00:11:23,208
that thing didn't kill you.
530
00:11:23,208 --> 00:11:23,875
And he's trying
531
00:11:23,875 --> 00:11:24,833
to call me down.
532
00:11:24,833 --> 00:11:25,875
And they said, like,
533
00:11:25,875 --> 00:11:26,750
don't worry,
534
00:11:26,750 --> 00:11:28,250
man, don't worry.
535
00:11:28,250 --> 00:11:29,833
Everything in Mexico
536
00:11:29,833 --> 00:11:31,166
want to kill you.
537
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:33,291
Just you just have to relax.
538
00:11:34,250 --> 00:11:34,958
And I can't say
539
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:35,583
I was more
540
00:11:35,583 --> 00:11:38,583
relaxed after that.
541
00:11:38,750 --> 00:11:39,750
So we're at this horse
542
00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:40,625
power ranch,
543
00:11:40,625 --> 00:11:42,500
and they set up,
544
00:11:42,500 --> 00:11:44,583
kind of a little, show.
545
00:11:44,583 --> 00:11:45,000
Right?
546
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,041
That was part of the thing
547
00:11:46,041 --> 00:11:47,541
where with, dinner
548
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:49,041
and there was outdoor,
549
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:51,916
very small little patio area
550
00:11:51,916 --> 00:11:54,500
with, high quality
551
00:11:54,500 --> 00:11:57,166
gear and, a cover band,
552
00:11:57,166 --> 00:11:59,083
and,
553
00:11:59,083 --> 00:12:01,250
my history of managing bands
554
00:12:01,250 --> 00:12:02,541
and, you know,
555
00:12:02,541 --> 00:12:05,083
doing my thing with music,
556
00:12:05,083 --> 00:12:06,208
I couldn't help
557
00:12:06,208 --> 00:12:07,041
because the pieces
558
00:12:07,041 --> 00:12:08,750
were coming together.
559
00:12:08,750 --> 00:12:11,041
Gabe, from Tampa.
560
00:12:11,041 --> 00:12:14,041
Gabe is an amazing drummer.
561
00:12:14,083 --> 00:12:15,166
He can easily.
562
00:12:15,166 --> 00:12:15,750
He's the guy,
563
00:12:15,750 --> 00:12:16,666
the cover band guy
564
00:12:16,666 --> 00:12:17,500
that's been playing
565
00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:18,708
for 40 years straight.
566
00:12:18,708 --> 00:12:19,583
He can literally play
567
00:12:19,583 --> 00:12:20,583
any song.
568
00:12:20,583 --> 00:12:21,291
But he can also
569
00:12:21,291 --> 00:12:23,000
play guitar and bass,
570
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:23,958
and he's just he's
571
00:12:23,958 --> 00:12:24,916
that guy, right?
572
00:12:24,916 --> 00:12:25,625
And I've always known
573
00:12:25,625 --> 00:12:26,625
that about Gabe.
574
00:12:26,625 --> 00:12:28,041
So Gabe keyboards, right?
575
00:12:28,041 --> 00:12:29,250
He played keyboards, right?
576
00:12:29,250 --> 00:12:29,958
Yeah.
577
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:31,166
Gabe can play
578
00:12:31,166 --> 00:12:32,208
a little bit of everything.
579
00:12:32,208 --> 00:12:34,333
He is. He is an all star.
580
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:35,500
And then through
581
00:12:35,500 --> 00:12:36,666
the conversation
582
00:12:36,666 --> 00:12:39,000
of getting to know, Lex,
583
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,333
you know, Bitcoin mechanic,
584
00:12:40,333 --> 00:12:41,583
I had no idea that
585
00:12:41,583 --> 00:12:42,833
he used to actually play
586
00:12:42,833 --> 00:12:44,291
with Donna Summer.
587
00:12:44,291 --> 00:12:46,583
He was a studio musician
588
00:12:46,583 --> 00:12:48,791
and that he is an absolute
589
00:12:48,791 --> 00:12:51,750
all star on bass and keys.
590
00:12:51,750 --> 00:12:53,041
He's he's just a ripper.
591
00:12:54,333 --> 00:12:56,625
He is so good.
592
00:12:56,625 --> 00:12:57,416
Yeah.
593
00:12:57,416 --> 00:12:58,916
So, you
594
00:12:58,916 --> 00:12:59,875
know, finding that out
595
00:12:59,875 --> 00:13:00,416
and then,
596
00:13:00,416 --> 00:13:00,708
you know,
597
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:02,000
I've known Giacomo and
598
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,666
and Mia
599
00:13:02,666 --> 00:13:04,375
for years,
600
00:13:04,375 --> 00:13:05,125
and I didn't know
601
00:13:05,125 --> 00:13:05,625
that she was
602
00:13:05,625 --> 00:13:07,541
a professional vocal coach.
603
00:13:07,541 --> 00:13:08,750
I didn't know that, like,
604
00:13:08,750 --> 00:13:10,166
that was a part of her thing.
605
00:13:10,166 --> 00:13:10,833
So it's like,
606
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:12,708
slowly coming together
607
00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:13,583
here,
608
00:13:13,583 --> 00:13:16,458
and I kind of arrange it.
609
00:13:16,458 --> 00:13:18,833
So I say to the cover band,
610
00:13:18,833 --> 00:13:19,666
because who wants to hear
611
00:13:19,666 --> 00:13:20,541
a cover band? Right?
612
00:13:20,541 --> 00:13:21,666
It's a Mexican cover, man.
613
00:13:21,666 --> 00:13:22,375
We didn't know
614
00:13:22,375 --> 00:13:22,750
they were going
615
00:13:22,750 --> 00:13:24,416
to be excellent.
616
00:13:24,416 --> 00:13:25,000
They okay.
617
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:25,500
We didn't know
618
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:26,541
what was about to happen,
619
00:13:26,541 --> 00:13:27,208
but it was kind of like,
620
00:13:27,208 --> 00:13:28,041
hey, listen,
621
00:13:28,041 --> 00:13:29,125
you know, it's just us here
622
00:13:29,125 --> 00:13:30,416
for this party.
623
00:13:30,416 --> 00:13:31,458
You know, I've got some
624
00:13:31,458 --> 00:13:32,541
some Bitcoiners here.
625
00:13:32,541 --> 00:13:32,916
We want to have a
626
00:13:32,916 --> 00:13:33,541
little bit of fun.
627
00:13:33,541 --> 00:13:34,708
Do you think we can just
628
00:13:34,708 --> 00:13:36,041
use your gear
629
00:13:36,041 --> 00:13:36,916
and kind of play
630
00:13:36,916 --> 00:13:38,541
and have some fun?
631
00:13:38,541 --> 00:13:39,416
And they said,
632
00:13:39,416 --> 00:13:40,458
absolutely not.
633
00:13:42,041 --> 00:13:42,500
They were
634
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:43,333
offended because
635
00:13:43,333 --> 00:13:45,041
they really wanted to play,
636
00:13:45,041 --> 00:13:46,375
for you guys.
637
00:13:46,375 --> 00:13:46,833
And then they
638
00:13:46,833 --> 00:13:47,541
started playing,
639
00:13:47,541 --> 00:13:49,000
and they were incredible,
640
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,291
just calling out a song
641
00:13:51,291 --> 00:13:52,041
and they played it,
642
00:13:52,041 --> 00:13:52,916
and that was great.
643
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:54,916
And then they took a break.
644
00:13:54,916 --> 00:13:55,833
They took a break
645
00:13:55,833 --> 00:13:56,750
and they said,
646
00:13:56,750 --> 00:13:58,375
hey, if you guys want to,
647
00:13:58,375 --> 00:13:59,500
have a little bit of fun
648
00:13:59,500 --> 00:14:00,291
for a little while,
649
00:14:00,291 --> 00:14:01,375
go for it.
650
00:14:01,375 --> 00:14:01,875
And that's
651
00:14:01,875 --> 00:14:02,708
when the first,
652
00:14:02,708 --> 00:14:05,416
the first band assembled.
653
00:14:05,416 --> 00:14:06,500
That's when I found out
654
00:14:06,500 --> 00:14:07,250
I didn't even know
655
00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:07,916
Knute could play
656
00:14:07,916 --> 00:14:08,875
at this time.
657
00:14:08,875 --> 00:14:09,833
Can you just picked up
658
00:14:09,833 --> 00:14:10,375
the guitar
659
00:14:10,375 --> 00:14:11,000
and all of a sudden
660
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,833
I was just screaming,
661
00:14:11,833 --> 00:14:14,833
he's a shredder.
662
00:14:15,666 --> 00:14:16,916
I wouldn't know about that.
663
00:14:16,916 --> 00:14:17,500
But,
664
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:19,125
we were all surprised that
665
00:14:19,125 --> 00:14:20,625
and that it sounded
666
00:14:20,625 --> 00:14:22,833
not not shit
667
00:14:22,833 --> 00:14:23,583
when we picked
668
00:14:23,583 --> 00:14:24,708
up the instruments.
669
00:14:24,708 --> 00:14:25,416
And this is how the
670
00:14:25,416 --> 00:14:26,375
Satoshi Nakamoto
671
00:14:26,375 --> 00:14:27,625
thing was born, I guess.
672
00:14:28,750 --> 00:14:30,041
You know, it's kind of cool.
673
00:14:30,041 --> 00:14:30,375
Like,
674
00:14:30,375 --> 00:14:31,500
the Bitcoiners
675
00:14:31,500 --> 00:14:32,375
are such a unique
676
00:14:32,375 --> 00:14:33,250
and individual
677
00:14:33,250 --> 00:14:34,416
and awesome people
678
00:14:34,416 --> 00:14:35,416
is that you
679
00:14:35,416 --> 00:14:36,208
don't really
680
00:14:36,208 --> 00:14:37,791
have to tell them what to do.
681
00:14:37,791 --> 00:14:38,666
Like, that's what I love.
682
00:14:38,666 --> 00:14:39,500
With the chess set,
683
00:14:39,500 --> 00:14:40,166
I would bring 4
684
00:14:40,166 --> 00:14:41,083
or 5 chess sets
685
00:14:41,083 --> 00:14:42,458
to a Bitcoin conference.
686
00:14:42,458 --> 00:14:44,000
Just put them out
687
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,541
and the rest happens,
688
00:14:45,541 --> 00:14:46,208
you know what I mean?
689
00:14:46,208 --> 00:14:47,125
And that's kind of
690
00:14:47,125 --> 00:14:48,541
was the original idea
691
00:14:48,541 --> 00:14:49,583
with the rock motors.
692
00:14:49,583 --> 00:14:50,500
Although it's changed
693
00:14:50,500 --> 00:14:51,041
recently.
694
00:14:51,041 --> 00:14:51,375
We're going to
695
00:14:51,375 --> 00:14:52,000
have to have a rock
696
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,166
mono board meeting soon.
697
00:14:54,166 --> 00:14:54,833
But you know,
698
00:14:54,833 --> 00:14:55,666
if you just have
699
00:14:55,666 --> 00:14:57,166
the gear there
700
00:14:57,166 --> 00:14:58,833
and then kind of see
701
00:14:58,833 --> 00:14:59,791
what happens, right?
702
00:14:59,791 --> 00:15:00,166
Because you've
703
00:15:00,166 --> 00:15:01,625
got amazing people
704
00:15:01,625 --> 00:15:02,750
that all can,
705
00:15:02,750 --> 00:15:03,125
can do
706
00:15:03,125 --> 00:15:04,458
a lot of different things.
707
00:15:04,458 --> 00:15:05,625
And then we found out
708
00:15:05,625 --> 00:15:06,291
some other people
709
00:15:06,291 --> 00:15:07,750
that could play that night.
710
00:15:07,750 --> 00:15:09,958
Was it Robert,
711
00:15:09,958 --> 00:15:10,750
was it Robert?
712
00:15:10,750 --> 00:15:11,833
The name of,
713
00:15:11,833 --> 00:15:13,375
one of the guitar players,
714
00:15:13,375 --> 00:15:15,166
I think,
715
00:15:15,166 --> 00:15:16,083
I can't remember
716
00:15:16,083 --> 00:15:17,208
if, who else,
717
00:15:17,208 --> 00:15:19,166
but we had Satoshi.
718
00:15:19,166 --> 00:15:21,166
You sound I don't remember.
719
00:15:21,166 --> 00:15:22,250
His name is Robert. Yeah.
720
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:22,916
It's Robert.
721
00:15:22,916 --> 00:15:24,041
Yeah, he played the drums
722
00:15:24,041 --> 00:15:25,250
and he's he's like that
723
00:15:25,250 --> 00:15:26,791
awesome drummer,
724
00:15:26,791 --> 00:15:29,000
and he's like, So good.
725
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:29,416
And he,
726
00:15:30,583 --> 00:15:31,666
he showed up for for
727
00:15:31,666 --> 00:15:33,541
Prague last year, right?
728
00:15:33,541 --> 00:15:35,875
And he played on a
729
00:15:35,875 --> 00:15:37,083
handful of songs there,
730
00:15:37,083 --> 00:15:38,875
including,
731
00:15:38,875 --> 00:15:40,333
Seven Nation Army.
732
00:15:40,333 --> 00:15:41,541
And there's a video from that
733
00:15:41,541 --> 00:15:42,916
and I can tell like this,
734
00:15:42,916 --> 00:15:44,625
the oh, my God,
735
00:15:44,625 --> 00:15:46,416
the drums are so good here.
736
00:15:46,416 --> 00:15:47,875
And I noticed afterwards,
737
00:15:47,875 --> 00:15:49,041
like, Yeah,
738
00:15:49,041 --> 00:15:51,583
it's it's Robert, it's
739
00:15:51,583 --> 00:15:52,291
no wonder
740
00:15:52,291 --> 00:15:52,916
because he's
741
00:15:52,916 --> 00:15:53,583
got such
742
00:15:53,583 --> 00:15:56,583
a amazing feel for it.
743
00:15:56,666 --> 00:15:57,416
Yeah.
744
00:15:57,416 --> 00:15:58,708
And that was kind of the,
745
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,208
the Genesis block there.
746
00:16:01,208 --> 00:16:03,125
No.
747
00:16:03,125 --> 00:16:03,625
Hello there,
748
00:16:03,625 --> 00:16:04,500

And I would recommend
758
00:16:14,166 --> 00:16:15,291

759
00:16:15,291 --> 00:16:16,500

Also, you need somewhere

00:16:57,041 --> 00:16:58,083
Back to the show.
792
00:16:58,083 --> 00:16:58,500
And so,
793
00:16:58,500 --> 00:17:00,041
so, so when was the next rock
794
00:17:00,041 --> 00:17:00,750
I like?
795
00:17:00,750 --> 00:17:01,750
It wasn't called the rock.
796
00:17:01,750 --> 00:17:02,833
I'm older then, but.
797
00:17:02,833 --> 00:17:04,000
But you were
798
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,083
certainly in charge
799
00:17:05,083 --> 00:17:05,916
and telling everyone
800
00:17:05,916 --> 00:17:06,541
that you need
801
00:17:06,541 --> 00:17:09,541
to go up on stage now.
802
00:17:09,875 --> 00:17:11,791
So, so so when was the
803
00:17:11,791 --> 00:17:13,666
when was the first real one?
804
00:17:13,666 --> 00:17:14,125
Was that,
805
00:17:14,125 --> 00:17:17,125
it was actually Miami.
806
00:17:17,375 --> 00:17:19,166
And yes, I'm
807
00:17:19,166 --> 00:17:19,833
well aware that
808
00:17:19,833 --> 00:17:20,958
I am a pain in the ass.
809
00:17:20,958 --> 00:17:22,125
That is for sure.
810
00:17:22,125 --> 00:17:23,500
In a good way.
811
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,083
In a good way. Working on it.
812
00:17:25,083 --> 00:17:26,833
So, so, yeah.
813
00:17:26,833 --> 00:17:27,791
So we did
814
00:17:27,791 --> 00:17:31,541
one in, Miami at, one,
815
00:17:31,541 --> 00:17:32,791
I can't remember what year.
816
00:17:32,791 --> 00:17:33,208
Conference.
817
00:17:33,208 --> 00:17:34,083
I had the flier, though.
818
00:17:34,083 --> 00:17:35,458
It was actually pretty cool.
819
00:17:35,458 --> 00:17:36,291
And it was a
820
00:17:36,291 --> 00:17:37,250
small little room.
821
00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:37,916
It was a Lightning
822
00:17:37,916 --> 00:17:38,875
Ventures party.
823
00:17:38,875 --> 00:17:39,958
It was free.
824
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:41,833
It was packed, and,
825
00:17:41,833 --> 00:17:43,250
we had it.
826
00:17:43,250 --> 00:17:44,250
We had a pretty good time
827
00:17:44,250 --> 00:17:44,708
there, but
828
00:17:44,708 --> 00:17:47,375
Kanoute was not there. Wait.
829
00:17:47,375 --> 00:17:49,291
I was like, yeah, yeah,
830
00:17:49,291 --> 00:17:50,708
I just went with it.
831
00:17:50,708 --> 00:17:51,000
Yeah,
832
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,041
I came directly
833
00:17:52,041 --> 00:17:53,250
from the airport,
834
00:17:53,250 --> 00:17:54,625
so I took an Uber
835
00:17:54,625 --> 00:17:55,833
straight to the venue
836
00:17:55,833 --> 00:17:56,541
because it had
837
00:17:56,541 --> 00:17:58,125
the show had already started,
838
00:17:58,125 --> 00:17:59,208
and I remember
839
00:17:59,208 --> 00:18:00,208
meeting you on the street
840
00:18:00,208 --> 00:18:01,166
the like, don't
841
00:18:01,166 --> 00:18:02,416
you need to come up on stage
842
00:18:02,416 --> 00:18:03,791
and play bass immediately
843
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,166
like we have no bass player.
844
00:18:05,166 --> 00:18:06,166
So, so I
845
00:18:06,166 --> 00:18:07,541
hop on the stage and like,
846
00:18:07,541 --> 00:18:08,958
but what about my luggage?
847
00:18:08,958 --> 00:18:10,416
And I leave it on the
848
00:18:10,416 --> 00:18:11,750
on the sidewalk
849
00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:12,791
and the and you're like,
850
00:18:12,791 --> 00:18:13,333
I'll take care
851
00:18:13,333 --> 00:18:13,916
of your luggage.
852
00:18:13,916 --> 00:18:14,916
Don't worry about it.
853
00:18:14,916 --> 00:18:16,250
You'll have to get on stage
854
00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:17,000
and I hope and
855
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:17,791
and I play bass
856
00:18:17,791 --> 00:18:19,375
for, 45 minutes
857
00:18:19,375 --> 00:18:20,500
and I come back out again
858
00:18:20,500 --> 00:18:21,333
and there's my luggage
859
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:22,416
still on the street.
860
00:18:25,125 --> 00:18:25,625
But.
861
00:18:25,625 --> 00:18:27,208
But it was still there, so.
862
00:18:27,208 --> 00:18:29,833
No, no worries.
863
00:18:29,833 --> 00:18:30,125
Yeah.
864
00:18:30,125 --> 00:18:31,000
And yeah,
865
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,166
that was a cool venue.
866
00:18:32,166 --> 00:18:32,708
It's,
867
00:18:32,708 --> 00:18:35,250
it was narrow and tiny, but
868
00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:36,541
but it absolutely.
869
00:18:36,541 --> 00:18:37,166
Yeah,
870
00:18:37,166 --> 00:18:39,750
there was a special event to.
871
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:40,958
I have so many fond
872
00:18:40,958 --> 00:18:41,958
memories of these,
873
00:18:41,958 --> 00:18:43,750
these occasions.
874
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:46,333
Yeah. There you go.
875
00:18:46,333 --> 00:18:49,333
So.
876
00:18:49,958 --> 00:18:50,875
So, yeah, that was a
877
00:18:50,875 --> 00:18:51,500
that was a little one
878
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:52,208
that's actually Seven
879
00:18:52,208 --> 00:18:54,750
Nation Army, I think.
880
00:18:54,750 --> 00:18:55,666
Yeah.
881
00:18:55,666 --> 00:18:57,125
Is that the same?
882
00:18:57,125 --> 00:18:59,916
Oh yeah.
883
00:18:59,916 --> 00:19:00,916
That was that.
884
00:19:00,916 --> 00:19:01,541
So that was
885
00:19:01,541 --> 00:19:02,208
I think that was
886
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:03,791
the first one.
887
00:19:03,791 --> 00:19:04,041
Oh.
888
00:19:04,041 --> 00:19:06,375
Was, was that
889
00:19:06,375 --> 00:19:08,000
was that night there.
890
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,458
But I, I forgot
891
00:19:09,458 --> 00:19:09,875
and you know what
892
00:19:09,875 --> 00:19:11,291
I couldn't find, the flier
893
00:19:11,291 --> 00:19:11,625
I went
894
00:19:11,625 --> 00:19:12,125
and I tried to
895
00:19:12,125 --> 00:19:13,333
bookmark the other day
896
00:19:13,333 --> 00:19:15,250
a lot of those, rock motos,
897
00:19:15,250 --> 00:19:16,333
anything I could find on
898
00:19:16,333 --> 00:19:17,083
Twitter for,
899
00:19:17,083 --> 00:19:18,125
you know, the Bitcoin
900
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:19,416
national Museum.
901
00:19:19,416 --> 00:19:20,416
One day,
902
00:19:20,416 --> 00:19:23,250
is going to want a section
903
00:19:23,250 --> 00:19:24,750
of the, of the place
904
00:19:24,750 --> 00:19:25,958
for this.
905
00:19:25,958 --> 00:19:26,375
But, yeah,
906
00:19:26,375 --> 00:19:27,375
that was a fun one.
907
00:19:27,375 --> 00:19:28,541
And it was super small.
908
00:19:28,541 --> 00:19:28,958
And, you know,
909
00:19:28,958 --> 00:19:30,125
we had some surprises,
910
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:30,625
I don't know,
911
00:19:30,625 --> 00:19:31,583
do you remember that guy
912
00:19:31,583 --> 00:19:32,291
from ibex
913
00:19:32,291 --> 00:19:34,125
who came up and sang La Bamba
914
00:19:34,125 --> 00:19:34,750
and everyone?
915
00:19:34,750 --> 00:19:35,166
Oh, yeah.
916
00:19:35,166 --> 00:19:35,833
Yeah, yeah,
917
00:19:35,833 --> 00:19:37,166
yeah, yeah, that was great.
918
00:19:38,458 --> 00:19:38,833
I wouldn't
919
00:19:38,833 --> 00:19:39,291
know about
920
00:19:39,291 --> 00:19:40,083
everyone playing it
921
00:19:40,083 --> 00:19:42,666
perfectly, but
922
00:19:42,666 --> 00:19:43,750
I don't think we ever played
923
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:45,375
anything perfectly on a rock.
924
00:19:45,375 --> 00:19:45,750
I'm older,
925
00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:48,750
but that's part of the charm.
926
00:19:49,416 --> 00:19:50,333
This is the thing.
927
00:19:50,333 --> 00:19:51,250
And that's what, like,
928
00:19:51,250 --> 00:19:53,083
It's it's
929
00:19:53,083 --> 00:19:54,875
so it's like
930
00:19:54,875 --> 00:19:55,916
creating something
931
00:19:55,916 --> 00:19:57,208
out of the chaos, like,
932
00:19:57,208 --> 00:19:58,458
it's a very
933
00:19:58,458 --> 00:20:00,125
spontaneous thing.
934
00:20:00,125 --> 00:20:02,375
There are a couple of key
935
00:20:02,375 --> 00:20:04,083
things that need to happen.
936
00:20:04,083 --> 00:20:05,333
A couple of key players
937
00:20:05,333 --> 00:20:06,416
there and there.
938
00:20:06,416 --> 00:20:10,250
But we we often we we,
939
00:20:10,416 --> 00:20:11,875
we try to make it work,
940
00:20:11,875 --> 00:20:12,916
and sometimes it does,
941
00:20:12,916 --> 00:20:14,583
sometimes not so much.
942
00:20:14,583 --> 00:20:16,250
But but it's right.
943
00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:17,333
It's a trial and error
944
00:20:17,333 --> 00:20:18,583
thing, isn't it?
945
00:20:18,583 --> 00:20:19,416
Yeah.
946
00:20:19,416 --> 00:20:20,958
Just like any band,
947
00:20:20,958 --> 00:20:22,541
you know, you start out,
948
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:23,875
you start out somewhere
949
00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:25,916
and then all of a sudden
950
00:20:25,916 --> 00:20:27,541
there starts to be
951
00:20:27,541 --> 00:20:29,458
some issues.
952
00:20:29,458 --> 00:20:30,000
You know, there
953
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,041
starts to be some issues.
954
00:20:32,041 --> 00:20:33,500
So,
955
00:20:33,500 --> 00:20:34,875
no, it's been a lot of fun
956
00:20:34,875 --> 00:20:35,750
and we've done so many.
957
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:35,958
I mean,
958
00:20:35,958 --> 00:20:37,291
just off the top of my head,
959
00:20:37,291 --> 00:20:41,041
I mean, Miami to Prague
960
00:20:42,291 --> 00:20:42,750
one.
961
00:20:42,750 --> 00:20:45,750
Riga.
962
00:20:46,041 --> 00:20:47,250
One San Salvador.
963
00:20:47,250 --> 00:20:47,833
Before.
964
00:20:47,833 --> 00:20:49,041
Before this one. Right.
965
00:20:49,041 --> 00:20:50,958
So Tucson, Salvador's
966
00:20:50,958 --> 00:20:53,333
two San Salvador's,
967
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:56,583
we've been doing them
968
00:20:56,583 --> 00:20:57,125
in Amsterdam.
969
00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:59,375
No, we we tried to,
970
00:20:59,375 --> 00:21:00,458
but we couldn't get a venue
971
00:21:00,458 --> 00:21:02,833
in Amsterdam. Right. Yeah.
972
00:21:02,833 --> 00:21:03,791
But that's been,
973
00:21:03,791 --> 00:21:04,750
they've been a few with us
974
00:21:04,750 --> 00:21:06,625
in Colombia a lot.
975
00:21:06,625 --> 00:21:09,000
Yeah, if you count that one.
976
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,416
Yeah.
977
00:21:10,416 --> 00:21:13,083
That was,
978
00:21:13,083 --> 00:21:14,500
that was not the best, but,
979
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:16,541
that's all right.
980
00:21:16,541 --> 00:21:18,833
But yeah, I got
981
00:21:18,833 --> 00:21:19,750
I can't even think
982
00:21:19,750 --> 00:21:21,000
of them, but, but,
983
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,625
yeah, it's been fun, and it's
984
00:21:22,625 --> 00:21:23,500
definitely a fun
985
00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:24,875
little side event.
986
00:21:24,875 --> 00:21:25,750
And,
987
00:21:25,750 --> 00:21:27,625
hopefully we can continue.
988
00:21:27,625 --> 00:21:29,416
Continue doing.
989
00:21:29,416 --> 00:21:30,375
Yeah.
990
00:21:30,375 --> 00:21:32,291
Well, I love those fliers.
991
00:21:32,291 --> 00:21:32,708
By the way,
992
00:21:32,708 --> 00:21:34,666
the posters you make, like,
993
00:21:34,666 --> 00:21:36,625
you take, like, a picture
994
00:21:36,625 --> 00:21:37,875
from an old horror movie
995
00:21:37,875 --> 00:21:39,916
or something, and you,
996
00:21:39,916 --> 00:21:41,875
I mean, they look perfect.
997
00:21:41,875 --> 00:21:43,583
They they look
998
00:21:43,583 --> 00:21:44,916
so, you know,
999
00:21:44,916 --> 00:21:46,416
I was a concert promoter.
1000
00:21:46,416 --> 00:21:47,291
We did.
1001
00:21:47,291 --> 00:21:47,750
We did
1002
00:21:47,750 --> 00:21:50,083
35 concerts a month, okay,
1003
00:21:50,083 --> 00:21:50,666
in Phoenix,
1004
00:21:50,666 --> 00:21:51,875
Tucson and Albuquerque.
1005
00:21:51,875 --> 00:21:53,250
And we cranked out fliers.
1006
00:21:53,250 --> 00:21:53,833
We cranked out
1007
00:21:53,833 --> 00:21:55,500
some of the best fliers.
1008
00:21:55,500 --> 00:21:56,583
And,
1009
00:21:56,583 --> 00:21:57,458
you know, that's
1010
00:21:57,458 --> 00:21:57,833
kind of
1011
00:21:57,833 --> 00:22:00,083
like the old hacky trick,
1012
00:22:00,083 --> 00:22:01,666
you know, late 90s,
1013
00:22:01,666 --> 00:22:04,083
early 2000, you know,
1014
00:22:04,083 --> 00:22:05,000
when we were
1015
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,833
when you're doing that,
1016
00:22:05,833 --> 00:22:06,291
you know,
1017
00:22:06,291 --> 00:22:08,625
you can find a B movie poster
1018
00:22:08,625 --> 00:22:10,000
or something cool
1019
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:10,958
and you can
1020
00:22:10,958 --> 00:22:12,208
get rid of the text.
1021
00:22:12,208 --> 00:22:12,875
And then, of course,
1022
00:22:12,875 --> 00:22:13,083
you know,
1023
00:22:13,083 --> 00:22:14,333
it's all about fonts
1024
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:15,666
and you can
1025
00:22:15,666 --> 00:22:16,666
you can make some
1026
00:22:16,666 --> 00:22:17,875
really fun stuff.
1027
00:22:17,875 --> 00:22:18,375
I mean, I
1028
00:22:18,375 --> 00:22:19,625
don't have the archive
1029
00:22:19,625 --> 00:22:21,041
like in front of me
1030
00:22:21,041 --> 00:22:21,708
from all of our
1031
00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:22,916
concerts, but,
1032
00:22:22,916 --> 00:22:23,666
you know, from,
1033
00:22:23,666 --> 00:22:25,208
from all the punk rock bands.
1034
00:22:25,208 --> 00:22:25,916
And I'm not talking
1035
00:22:25,916 --> 00:22:26,375
about those
1036
00:22:26,375 --> 00:22:27,541
like British,
1037
00:22:27,541 --> 00:22:28,750
like crass
1038
00:22:28,750 --> 00:22:29,833
in those type of punk
1039
00:22:29,833 --> 00:22:30,666
rock bands,
1040
00:22:30,666 --> 00:22:31,791
you know, Dead Kennedys
1041
00:22:31,791 --> 00:22:33,458
not not that style,
1042
00:22:33,458 --> 00:22:35,750
but like the really cool,
1043
00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:36,250
you know,
1044
00:22:36,250 --> 00:22:37,541
we had some really awesome
1045
00:22:37,541 --> 00:22:40,000
fliers, you know,
1046
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:40,958
I used to love that.
1047
00:22:40,958 --> 00:22:41,416
And you ever,
1048
00:22:41,416 --> 00:22:41,666
you know,
1049
00:22:41,666 --> 00:22:43,000
you could do a small screen
1050
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,291
printing run,
1051
00:22:44,291 --> 00:22:44,708
you know,
1052
00:22:44,708 --> 00:22:45,875
where you get a number.
1053
00:22:45,875 --> 00:22:46,333
You know, I'm
1054
00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:47,208
sure that you've got some,
1055
00:22:47,208 --> 00:22:49,583
like, Melvins and Sonic Youth
1056
00:22:49,583 --> 00:22:51,041
screen printed posters
1057
00:22:51,041 --> 00:22:51,458
or something
1058
00:22:51,458 --> 00:22:52,208
that you bought over
1059
00:22:52,208 --> 00:22:53,541
the years.
1060
00:22:53,541 --> 00:22:54,875
Yeah, yeah, I,
1061
00:22:54,875 --> 00:22:56,625
I tend to throw away
1062
00:22:56,625 --> 00:22:58,208
old, old stuff like that.
1063
00:22:58,208 --> 00:22:58,625
And then
1064
00:22:58,625 --> 00:22:59,833
sometimes I regret that,
1065
00:22:59,833 --> 00:23:01,541
but I had like
1066
00:23:01,541 --> 00:23:03,583
I saw Pantera in 96
1067
00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:05,625
and I had a Dimebag pick,
1068
00:23:05,625 --> 00:23:06,375
you know, that said
1069
00:23:06,375 --> 00:23:07,541
Far Beyond Drunk,
1070
00:23:07,541 --> 00:23:09,208
but I lost it, unfortunately.
1071
00:23:09,208 --> 00:23:10,458
So like, oh,
1072
00:23:10,458 --> 00:23:11,875
I tend to lose stuff.
1073
00:23:11,875 --> 00:23:14,250
You see,
1074
00:23:14,250 --> 00:23:15,250
you're the opposite of me.
1075
00:23:15,250 --> 00:23:16,250
I'm a packrat.
1076
00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:17,625
I can't throw anything away.
1077
00:23:17,625 --> 00:23:19,333
I still have a, concert
1078
00:23:19,333 --> 00:23:21,208
stub from seeing Weezer.
1079
00:23:21,208 --> 00:23:22,708
In 1996
1080
00:23:22,708 --> 00:23:24,083
on the Pinkerton tour
1081
00:23:24,083 --> 00:23:25,416
at the Electric Ballroom
1082
00:23:25,416 --> 00:23:26,458
in Tempe, Arizona.
1083
00:23:26,458 --> 00:23:27,583
How can I throw that away?
1084
00:23:27,583 --> 00:23:29,708
Cannot, I don't know, like.
1085
00:23:29,708 --> 00:23:31,041
And, yeah, I'm too,
1086
00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:34,916
I guess I my,
1087
00:23:34,916 --> 00:23:37,041
like, my minimalist,
1088
00:23:37,041 --> 00:23:38,333
lifestyle took over
1089
00:23:38,333 --> 00:23:38,875
for a while,
1090
00:23:38,875 --> 00:23:40,958
and I threw, like,
1091
00:23:40,958 --> 00:23:42,000
I remember throwing
1092
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:42,708
all my CDs
1093
00:23:42,708 --> 00:23:43,541
away, for instance,
1094
00:23:43,541 --> 00:23:44,708
I just thought, like,
1095
00:23:44,708 --> 00:23:45,250
these are going
1096
00:23:45,250 --> 00:23:46,583
to deteriorate.
1097
00:23:46,583 --> 00:23:48,125
Most of them are just
1098
00:23:48,125 --> 00:23:49,333
skipping a track
1099
00:23:49,333 --> 00:23:49,875
here and there,
1100
00:23:49,875 --> 00:23:50,708
and they don't work,
1101
00:23:50,708 --> 00:23:51,958
and they have a limited
1102
00:23:51,958 --> 00:23:53,750
lifespan. Right. So.
1103
00:23:53,750 --> 00:23:54,583
Well, well, fuck it.
1104
00:23:54,583 --> 00:23:55,333
I'm just throwing
1105
00:23:55,333 --> 00:23:55,958
in them all away
1106
00:23:55,958 --> 00:23:56,916
and then no more
1107
00:23:56,916 --> 00:23:57,791
hassle with them.
1108
00:23:57,791 --> 00:23:58,666
So I threw away,
1109
00:23:58,666 --> 00:24:00,333
like, 200 CDs.
1110
00:24:00,333 --> 00:24:02,708
Just dumped them all.
1111
00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:03,375
Good riddance.
1112
00:24:03,375 --> 00:24:05,125
I don't need this anymore.
1113
00:24:05,125 --> 00:24:07,041
Yeah, I mean, with the media
1114
00:24:07,041 --> 00:24:07,541
and stuff
1115
00:24:07,541 --> 00:24:08,708
like that with paying
1116
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:10,416
$10 a month, you know,
1117
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:11,458
and having literally
1118
00:24:11,458 --> 00:24:12,000
everything
1119
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,916
that you would want,
1120
00:24:12,916 --> 00:24:13,791
you know, you'll own
1121
00:24:13,791 --> 00:24:15,666
nothing and be happy now.
1122
00:24:15,666 --> 00:24:16,833
And really then it comes down
1123
00:24:16,833 --> 00:24:17,916
to the vinyl records
1124
00:24:17,916 --> 00:24:18,458
or the things
1125
00:24:18,458 --> 00:24:19,666
that you really collect,
1126
00:24:19,666 --> 00:24:20,708
you know. Yeah.
1127
00:24:20,708 --> 00:24:22,750
Which is much smaller.
1128
00:24:22,750 --> 00:24:25,125
So I'm trying to be like,
1129
00:24:25,125 --> 00:24:25,958
you can noone, I'm
1130
00:24:25,958 --> 00:24:27,000
trying to throw away
1131
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:27,791
things that,
1132
00:24:27,791 --> 00:24:28,291
you know what I mean?
1133
00:24:28,291 --> 00:24:29,083
So I went through this
1134
00:24:29,083 --> 00:24:29,958
big cleanse
1135
00:24:29,958 --> 00:24:32,416
like two weeks ago with Anna,
1136
00:24:32,416 --> 00:24:33,750
and I'm like, you know what?
1137
00:24:33,750 --> 00:24:34,375
Why do we have
1138
00:24:34,375 --> 00:24:35,916
all these clothes, stuff
1139
00:24:35,916 --> 00:24:37,000
that we never wear?
1140
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:37,541
So I'm like,
1141
00:24:37,541 --> 00:24:38,500
let's just throw it away.
1142
00:24:38,500 --> 00:24:40,000
And I. And I'm like a Taurus.
1143
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,291
So I go crazy.
1144
00:24:41,291 --> 00:24:41,708
I'm like,
1145
00:24:41,708 --> 00:24:42,375
let's throw it away.
1146
00:24:42,375 --> 00:24:43,250
I'm like, throw everything
1147
00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:44,083
away, throw everything away.
1148
00:24:44,083 --> 00:24:45,208
And I'm like, you know what?
1149
00:24:45,208 --> 00:24:46,541
I only need
1150
00:24:46,541 --> 00:24:48,000
seven pairs of underwear,
1151
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:48,916
for crying out loud.
1152
00:24:48,916 --> 00:24:49,625
Like, do what?
1153
00:24:49,625 --> 00:24:50,333
Does anyone need
1154
00:24:50,333 --> 00:24:51,708
more than seven pairs
1155
00:24:51,708 --> 00:24:52,958
of boxer shorts.
1156
00:24:52,958 --> 00:24:53,625
So I just threw
1157
00:24:53,625 --> 00:24:54,125
everything out.
1158
00:24:54,125 --> 00:24:54,750
And guess what?
1159
00:24:54,750 --> 00:24:55,041
I don't know
1160
00:24:55,041 --> 00:24:56,125
what the hell happened,
1161
00:24:56,125 --> 00:24:57,208
but I haven't had.
1162
00:24:57,208 --> 00:24:58,083
I haven't worn underwear
1163
00:24:58,083 --> 00:24:59,166
in like the past three days
1164
00:24:59,166 --> 00:25:00,041
because I don't have any on.
1165
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:00,250
It's like,
1166
00:25:00,250 --> 00:25:00,666
what are you doing?
1167
00:25:00,666 --> 00:25:01,000
I'm like,
1168
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,250
I don't know where the hell
1169
00:25:02,250 --> 00:25:03,666
did all the underwear go?
1170
00:25:06,458 --> 00:25:08,041
That's a true story.
1171
00:25:08,041 --> 00:25:10,625
Seven boxers, the army.
1172
00:25:10,625 --> 00:25:12,833
Yes.
1173
00:25:12,833 --> 00:25:13,416
All right.
1174
00:25:13,416 --> 00:25:14,875
So, so.
1175
00:25:14,875 --> 00:25:16,416
Well, I mean, we have.
1176
00:25:16,416 --> 00:25:18,083
Oh, you talked about
1177
00:25:18,083 --> 00:25:19,208
we saw 96.
1178
00:25:19,208 --> 00:25:20,916
I talk about Pantera 9 to 6.
1179
00:25:20,916 --> 00:25:21,791
I mean, we're
1180
00:25:21,791 --> 00:25:22,958
of a similar age.
1181
00:25:22,958 --> 00:25:23,916
We're old fucks,
1182
00:25:23,916 --> 00:25:25,000
even though we don't admit
1183
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
we are. So.
1184
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,666
So I think we have a lot
1185
00:25:27,666 --> 00:25:28,583
of similar,
1186
00:25:28,583 --> 00:25:30,125
like, musical influences
1187
00:25:30,125 --> 00:25:30,666
and stories
1188
00:25:30,666 --> 00:25:32,166
about music and, and,
1189
00:25:32,166 --> 00:25:33,833
what kind of bands we like.
1190
00:25:33,833 --> 00:25:34,000
So.
1191
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:34,583
But you want to get
1192
00:25:34,583 --> 00:25:35,291
into that a bit,
1193
00:25:35,291 --> 00:25:36,666
like what's your favorite,
1194
00:25:36,666 --> 00:25:37,916
your top five
1195
00:25:37,916 --> 00:25:38,833
bands in the world
1196
00:25:38,833 --> 00:25:40,333
or something like that?
1197
00:25:40,333 --> 00:25:40,916
Okay.
1198
00:25:40,916 --> 00:25:42,666
Well, a couple of things.
1199
00:25:42,666 --> 00:25:43,208
And in.
1200
00:25:43,208 --> 00:25:44,458
Yeah, that's great. Right.
1201
00:25:44,458 --> 00:25:45,375
The question is like,
1202
00:25:45,375 --> 00:25:47,125
if you're on a desert island
1203
00:25:47,125 --> 00:25:47,833
and you can only
1204
00:25:47,833 --> 00:25:49,125
have three artists,
1205
00:25:49,125 --> 00:25:49,958
but you get their
1206
00:25:49,958 --> 00:25:53,375
entire catalog right forever,
1207
00:25:53,375 --> 00:25:53,708
that's
1208
00:25:53,708 --> 00:25:54,666
that makes a difference,
1209
00:25:54,666 --> 00:25:54,916
you know,
1210
00:25:54,916 --> 00:25:55,333
and you have a
1211
00:25:55,333 --> 00:25:57,208
limited catalog.
1212
00:25:57,208 --> 00:25:57,666
Okay.
1213
00:25:57,666 --> 00:25:59,250
So, you know, that's great.
1214
00:25:59,250 --> 00:25:59,833
But, you know,
1215
00:25:59,833 --> 00:26:01,625
you growing up,
1216
00:26:01,625 --> 00:26:03,875
you you probably didn't
1217
00:26:03,875 --> 00:26:05,583
have the opportunity
1218
00:26:05,583 --> 00:26:07,916
to see as many touring bands.
1219
00:26:07,916 --> 00:26:08,125
I mean,
1220
00:26:08,125 --> 00:26:08,541
I grew up in
1221
00:26:08,541 --> 00:26:09,833
Phoenix, Arizona,
1222
00:26:09,833 --> 00:26:11,666
so, you know, it wasn't
1223
00:26:11,666 --> 00:26:13,208
the it was still maybe a top
1224
00:26:13,208 --> 00:26:15,000
ten largest city in the US.
1225
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,458
We had concerts, but like,
1226
00:26:16,458 --> 00:26:17,208
did you have
1227
00:26:17,208 --> 00:26:18,250
many opportunities?
1228
00:26:18,250 --> 00:26:19,416
Like, where did you go
1229
00:26:19,416 --> 00:26:20,500
when you wanted to see.
1230
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:20,875
No.
1231
00:26:20,875 --> 00:26:21,916
Like,
1232
00:26:21,916 --> 00:26:23,500
middle of nowhere Sweden.
1233
00:26:23,500 --> 00:26:25,041
There was like no, no
1234
00:26:25,041 --> 00:26:26,541
big international acts
1235
00:26:26,541 --> 00:26:27,458
to see if you didn't
1236
00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:28,416
go to Gotham Berg,
1237
00:26:28,416 --> 00:26:29,708
which was like a two hour
1238
00:26:29,708 --> 00:26:30,875
drive away,
1239
00:26:30,875 --> 00:26:33,291
or that
1240
00:26:33,291 --> 00:26:33,791
and there were
1241
00:26:33,791 --> 00:26:35,333
some big concerts there.
1242
00:26:35,333 --> 00:26:36,625
Every once in a while.
1243
00:26:36,625 --> 00:26:37,750
I mean, I saw Pink
1244
00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:38,416
Floyd there
1245
00:26:38,416 --> 00:26:40,250
when I was around 20,
1246
00:26:40,250 --> 00:26:41,791
so I think that's
1247
00:26:41,791 --> 00:26:42,750
the first big one
1248
00:26:42,750 --> 00:26:43,833
I went to there.
1249
00:26:43,833 --> 00:26:44,791
And then of course,
1250
00:26:44,791 --> 00:26:46,083
there were these,
1251
00:26:46,083 --> 00:26:47,333
summer festivals,
1252
00:26:47,333 --> 00:26:48,750
in Sweden and Denmark
1253
00:26:48,750 --> 00:26:49,875
that you could go to.
1254
00:26:49,875 --> 00:26:51,750
So the Roskilde is the,
1255
00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:53,250
the obviously the big one.
1256
00:26:53,250 --> 00:26:54,375
In Denmark,
1257
00:26:54,375 --> 00:26:56,083
the, the other one
1258
00:26:56,083 --> 00:26:56,833
when I grew up
1259
00:26:56,833 --> 00:26:57,916
was called Huddersfield.
1260
00:26:57,916 --> 00:26:59,208
And it's a small town
1261
00:26:59,208 --> 00:27:00,875
as a kind of a legendary
1262
00:27:00,875 --> 00:27:02,166
rock festival
1263
00:27:02,166 --> 00:27:03,666
in the middle of small.
1264
00:27:03,666 --> 00:27:05,375
And I think it's been,
1265
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:07,041
as a long time ago now.
1266
00:27:07,041 --> 00:27:08,333
Now, now they have the Sweden
1267
00:27:08,333 --> 00:27:09,125
rock festival
1268
00:27:09,125 --> 00:27:11,416
instead or something. But,
1269
00:27:12,666 --> 00:27:14,250
that there was a couple of
1270
00:27:14,250 --> 00:27:14,625
years
1271
00:27:14,625 --> 00:27:16,000
when I enjoyed festivals
1272
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:16,916
and then
1273
00:27:16,916 --> 00:27:17,625
I guess I got
1274
00:27:17,625 --> 00:27:18,875
too old for them
1275
00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:19,833
living in a tent
1276
00:27:19,833 --> 00:27:20,791
and, you know,
1277
00:27:20,791 --> 00:27:22,125
walking in piss all day.
1278
00:27:22,125 --> 00:27:24,916
It's might not be like,
1279
00:27:24,916 --> 00:27:25,958
you get too comfortable
1280
00:27:25,958 --> 00:27:27,875
after what it's like. Guess.
1281
00:27:27,875 --> 00:27:29,208
But but I had a lot of fun
1282
00:27:29,208 --> 00:27:30,583
back then, and my,
1283
00:27:30,583 --> 00:27:32,416
late teens and early 20s,
1284
00:27:32,416 --> 00:27:34,583
seeing a lot of bands.
1285
00:27:34,583 --> 00:27:36,166
Yeah, well, I'm definite.
1286
00:27:36,166 --> 00:27:37,291
I'm definitely curious
1287
00:27:37,291 --> 00:27:38,583
about that pink Floyd show.
1288
00:27:38,583 --> 00:27:38,833
I mean,
1289
00:27:38,833 --> 00:27:39,833
that was a bucket list
1290
00:27:39,833 --> 00:27:41,416
that I, I was never able
1291
00:27:41,416 --> 00:27:43,875
to, to do that one there.
1292
00:27:43,875 --> 00:27:44,541
And, you know,
1293
00:27:44,541 --> 00:27:46,458
Europe always does
1294
00:27:46,458 --> 00:27:47,708
the festivals, right?
1295
00:27:47,708 --> 00:27:49,666
Like, I didn't know
1296
00:27:49,666 --> 00:27:50,666
how Europe did it,
1297
00:27:50,666 --> 00:27:51,333
but that's like,
1298
00:27:51,333 --> 00:27:52,416
that was the word, you know,
1299
00:27:52,416 --> 00:27:53,083
that was what
1300
00:27:53,083 --> 00:27:53,916
we had always heard.
1301
00:27:53,916 --> 00:27:56,166
And I did a European tour,
1302
00:27:56,166 --> 00:27:57,250
with a band.
1303
00:27:57,250 --> 00:27:57,916
And there were
1304
00:27:57,916 --> 00:27:58,916
a few festivals,
1305
00:27:58,916 --> 00:27:59,833
rock and merengue,
1306
00:27:59,833 --> 00:28:01,125
rock and park, these
1307
00:28:01,125 --> 00:28:02,791
sort of like things, though.
1308
00:28:02,791 --> 00:28:03,791
So we went to them
1309
00:28:03,791 --> 00:28:05,166
for the first time.
1310
00:28:05,166 --> 00:28:07,000
And the Europe festival game,
1311
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:07,625
compared to
1312
00:28:07,625 --> 00:28:08,833
what us was doing,
1313
00:28:08,833 --> 00:28:10,750
was like, no comparison.
1314
00:28:10,750 --> 00:28:10,958
No.
1315
00:28:10,958 --> 00:28:12,458
But on the other hand,
1316
00:28:12,458 --> 00:28:13,958
like being a touring band in
1317
00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:15,250
the US must have been better.
1318
00:28:15,250 --> 00:28:16,416
Unlike
1319
00:28:16,416 --> 00:28:17,791
in Europe with the
1320
00:28:17,791 --> 00:28:19,041
we didn't have like
1321
00:28:19,041 --> 00:28:19,958
especially not
1322
00:28:19,958 --> 00:28:20,750
in Scandinavia.
1323
00:28:20,750 --> 00:28:21,791
There was no like
1324
00:28:21,791 --> 00:28:23,625
pop band culture,
1325
00:28:23,625 --> 00:28:24,625
like, like that's,
1326
00:28:24,625 --> 00:28:25,833
when I grew up
1327
00:28:25,833 --> 00:28:27,958
that's like very dead.
1328
00:28:27,958 --> 00:28:29,708
That was a very dead scene.
1329
00:28:29,708 --> 00:28:30,458
Like,
1330
00:28:30,458 --> 00:28:31,500
I guess there was a
1331
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:32,500
bigger music scene
1332
00:28:32,500 --> 00:28:33,875
in the 60s in Sweden,
1333
00:28:33,875 --> 00:28:34,916
and also maybe
1334
00:28:34,916 --> 00:28:37,041
a bit of revival after,
1335
00:28:37,041 --> 00:28:38,541
after I grew up.
1336
00:28:38,541 --> 00:28:39,375
But when I grew up,
1337
00:28:39,375 --> 00:28:40,583
there's like nothing there.
1338
00:28:40,583 --> 00:28:43,583
It was a very, very did.
1339
00:28:44,083 --> 00:28:47,083
So over the past 50 years,
1340
00:28:47,125 --> 00:28:48,916
what has come out of Sweden?
1341
00:28:50,500 --> 00:28:51,333
Well, a lot,
1342
00:28:51,333 --> 00:28:52,250
and, and
1343
00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:53,583
there was that like,
1344
00:28:53,583 --> 00:28:54,708
this is to say, they weren't,
1345
00:28:54,708 --> 00:28:56,666
there wasn't a living,
1346
00:28:56,666 --> 00:28:58,083
like, pop music
1347
00:28:58,083 --> 00:28:59,500
scene or music clubs
1348
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:00,125
or anything that.
1349
00:29:00,125 --> 00:29:00,791
But what there
1350
00:29:00,791 --> 00:29:02,375
was, was, like, underground
1351
00:29:02,375 --> 00:29:04,000
bands and people
1352
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:04,750
rehearsing
1353
00:29:04,750 --> 00:29:06,000
to become something
1354
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,250
that was all over the place.
1355
00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:07,791
There were,
1356
00:29:07,791 --> 00:29:09,833
trillium bands in Sweden and,
1357
00:29:09,833 --> 00:29:11,708
a very common,
1358
00:29:11,708 --> 00:29:12,958
when I grew up,
1359
00:29:12,958 --> 00:29:14,041
everyone was in a fucking
1360
00:29:14,041 --> 00:29:15,250
band, and we,
1361
00:29:15,250 --> 00:29:16,416
we had our own,
1362
00:29:16,416 --> 00:29:17,333
rehearsal rooms,
1363
00:29:17,333 --> 00:29:18,375
and there was a,
1364
00:29:18,375 --> 00:29:19,416
you know,
1365
00:29:19,416 --> 00:29:20,166
the basement
1366
00:29:20,166 --> 00:29:21,708
of an entire school,
1367
00:29:21,708 --> 00:29:23,958
was full of rehearsal rooms
1368
00:29:23,958 --> 00:29:24,583
for different,
1369
00:29:24,583 --> 00:29:25,833
different bands
1370
00:29:25,833 --> 00:29:27,500
and, a lot of activities
1371
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:27,875
like that.
1372
00:29:27,875 --> 00:29:29,041
Some of it like,
1373
00:29:29,041 --> 00:29:30,250
state
1374
00:29:30,250 --> 00:29:31,750
sponsored or months
1375
00:29:31,750 --> 00:29:32,791
of reality sponsored.
1376
00:29:32,791 --> 00:29:33,666
There was a lot of money
1377
00:29:33,666 --> 00:29:35,625
going into culture projects.
1378
00:29:35,625 --> 00:29:36,750
So a lot of tax money
1379
00:29:36,750 --> 00:29:38,125
went into like helping
1380
00:29:38,125 --> 00:29:40,625
these upcoming bands, to,
1381
00:29:40,625 --> 00:29:42,916
to do, to rehearse.
1382
00:29:42,916 --> 00:29:44,000
Most, most of us
1383
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,958
never got anywhere,
1384
00:29:44,958 --> 00:29:45,625
of course.
1385
00:29:45,625 --> 00:29:47,458
But but there,
1386
00:29:47,458 --> 00:29:48,208
there has been,
1387
00:29:48,208 --> 00:29:50,125
a lot of like
1388
00:29:50,125 --> 00:29:51,375
Sweden is a big music
1389
00:29:51,375 --> 00:29:54,375
exporter in, comparison to
1390
00:29:54,458 --> 00:29:55,291
many other countries,
1391
00:29:55,291 --> 00:29:56,291
of course, ABBA.
1392
00:29:56,291 --> 00:29:58,166
But, like in the 90s,
1393
00:29:58,166 --> 00:29:59,458
Max Martin,
1394
00:29:59,458 --> 00:30:00,458
produced
1395
00:30:00,458 --> 00:30:01,041
the Britney
1396
00:30:01,041 --> 00:30:02,083
Spears and Backstreet
1397
00:30:02,083 --> 00:30:03,250
Boys and all sorts of,
1398
00:30:03,250 --> 00:30:05,000
you know,
1399
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:06,250
boy bands and girl bands
1400
00:30:06,250 --> 00:30:07,166
and had a lot of,
1401
00:30:07,166 --> 00:30:10,000
top ten hits everywhere.
1402
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,041
And,
1403
00:30:11,041 --> 00:30:11,916
The Cardigans
1404
00:30:11,916 --> 00:30:13,250
was a big thing for us.
1405
00:30:13,250 --> 00:30:16,250
Yeah, right about that.
1406
00:30:16,416 --> 00:30:17,916
So there have been many,
1407
00:30:17,916 --> 00:30:18,458
nowadays,
1408
00:30:18,458 --> 00:30:20,958
like the bands like ghost
1409
00:30:20,958 --> 00:30:22,125
are pretty big, like.
1410
00:30:22,125 --> 00:30:23,375
And I have
1411
00:30:23,375 --> 00:30:24,666
that there are a lot of like,
1412
00:30:24,666 --> 00:30:25,458
genre band.
1413
00:30:25,458 --> 00:30:26,041
So like,
1414
00:30:26,041 --> 00:30:27,625
the closest big city
1415
00:30:27,625 --> 00:30:29,041
to where I grew up was Gotham
1416
00:30:29,041 --> 00:30:30,041
burg and Gotham burg
1417
00:30:30,041 --> 00:30:31,000
in the late
1418
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,041
90s, early 2000
1419
00:30:33,041 --> 00:30:34,208
had its own sound.
1420
00:30:34,208 --> 00:30:35,333
There was like the Gotham
1421
00:30:35,333 --> 00:30:35,916
burg sound,
1422
00:30:35,916 --> 00:30:36,416
and there were,
1423
00:30:36,416 --> 00:30:40,083
metal bands, In Flames
1424
00:30:40,083 --> 00:30:40,708
and Soil
1425
00:30:40,708 --> 00:30:41,458
Work and,
1426
00:30:41,458 --> 00:30:43,208
Dark Tranquility
1427
00:30:43,208 --> 00:30:45,750
and whatever they called,
1428
00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:46,375
that
1429
00:30:46,375 --> 00:30:47,458
that was a whole
1430
00:30:47,458 --> 00:30:48,916
subgenre in itself.
1431
00:30:48,916 --> 00:30:50,541
I never really liked it
1432
00:30:50,541 --> 00:30:51,125
that much,
1433
00:30:51,125 --> 00:30:52,083
but it was definitely
1434
00:30:52,083 --> 00:30:53,083
a thing.
1435
00:30:53,083 --> 00:30:55,541
What I like was a, a band
1436
00:30:55,541 --> 00:30:56,333
that started.
1437
00:30:56,333 --> 00:30:57,375
That's still my favorite band
1438
00:30:57,375 --> 00:30:58,666
to this day, by the way,
1439
00:30:58,666 --> 00:30:59,916
a band from the,
1440
00:30:59,916 --> 00:31:02,000
Norway up north
1441
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,166
in Sweden called Meshuggah.
1442
00:31:04,166 --> 00:31:05,416
It's really complicated,
1443
00:31:05,416 --> 00:31:06,666
like mass metal band
1444
00:31:06,666 --> 00:31:07,291
that has been
1445
00:31:07,291 --> 00:31:08,708
at it since the 90s,
1446
00:31:08,708 --> 00:31:09,458
and they're just
1447
00:31:09,458 --> 00:31:12,333
killer, complicated stuff.
1448
00:31:12,333 --> 00:31:14,166
But but I absolutely love it.
1449
00:31:16,208 --> 00:31:16,833
And there was a
1450
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:18,166
bunch of punk bands.
1451
00:31:18,166 --> 00:31:19,500
Refused, for instance,
1452
00:31:19,500 --> 00:31:20,916
made a killer record.
1453
00:31:20,916 --> 00:31:22,041
Youth was so hot,
1454
00:31:22,041 --> 00:31:22,958
the shape of punk
1455
00:31:22,958 --> 00:31:23,916
took a come.
1456
00:31:23,916 --> 00:31:25,083
The hell yeah.
1457
00:31:25,083 --> 00:31:25,958
I can't believe that
1458
00:31:25,958 --> 00:31:27,250
we're talking about refuse
1459
00:31:27,250 --> 00:31:27,875
right now.
1460
00:31:27,875 --> 00:31:28,708
That that was
1461
00:31:28,708 --> 00:31:29,708
there was a time
1462
00:31:29,708 --> 00:31:31,875
when that just came out.
1463
00:31:31,875 --> 00:31:32,416
Yeah, I would
1464
00:31:32,416 --> 00:31:34,500
that was a huge deal.
1465
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:35,541
The the hives,
1466
00:31:35,541 --> 00:31:36,666
they're still
1467
00:31:36,666 --> 00:31:38,166
big in the US, right?
1468
00:31:38,166 --> 00:31:40,000
They have yeah.
1469
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:40,958
I had quite a quite
1470
00:31:40,958 --> 00:31:41,791
an American,
1471
00:31:41,791 --> 00:31:42,208
quite an
1472
00:31:42,208 --> 00:31:43,166
international career,
1473
00:31:43,166 --> 00:31:44,833
especially in the US.
1474
00:31:44,833 --> 00:31:47,375
No, there's a ton of bands.
1475
00:31:47,375 --> 00:31:49,000
I'm only
1476
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,083
mentioning a few here,
1477
00:31:50,083 --> 00:31:52,333
but there's there's so much.
1478
00:31:52,333 --> 00:31:53,500
It's so, you know,
1479
00:31:53,500 --> 00:31:55,500
when I think of Sweden
1480
00:31:55,500 --> 00:31:57,250
and when I think of that,
1481
00:31:57,250 --> 00:31:59,125
I always think of the metal,
1482
00:31:59,125 --> 00:31:59,375
right?
1483
00:31:59,375 --> 00:32:00,291
I can't help but think of,
1484
00:32:00,291 --> 00:32:01,375
like, the Swedish metal.
1485
00:32:01,375 --> 00:32:02,916
Now, all of those bands
1486
00:32:02,916 --> 00:32:03,833
that you named
1487
00:32:03,833 --> 00:32:06,833
Dark Tranquility in Flames,
1488
00:32:07,125 --> 00:32:09,041
we booked all those bands.
1489
00:32:09,041 --> 00:32:09,666
I think
1490
00:32:09,666 --> 00:32:10,708
every single
1491
00:32:10,708 --> 00:32:11,625
one of those bands,
1492
00:32:11,625 --> 00:32:12,208
when they would come
1493
00:32:12,208 --> 00:32:13,833
to Phoenix, Arizona,
1494
00:32:13,833 --> 00:32:14,166
you know,
1495
00:32:14,166 --> 00:32:15,750
they would play the 300
1496
00:32:15,750 --> 00:32:16,958
cap room.
1497
00:32:16,958 --> 00:32:17,250
Okay,
1498
00:32:17,250 --> 00:32:18,750
The haunted was another one.
1499
00:32:18,750 --> 00:32:19,958
Yeah.
1500
00:32:19,958 --> 00:32:21,208
The haunted.
1501
00:32:21,208 --> 00:32:23,291
So, you know,
1502
00:32:23,291 --> 00:32:24,958
I didn't like that music,
1503
00:32:24,958 --> 00:32:26,458
but we booked everything,
1504
00:32:26,458 --> 00:32:27,458
right? We worked.
1505
00:32:27,458 --> 00:32:28,708
We booked the stuff
1506
00:32:28,708 --> 00:32:29,166
you like,
1507
00:32:29,166 --> 00:32:30,250
and then you booked the stuff
1508
00:32:30,250 --> 00:32:31,375
you don't like, right?
1509
00:32:31,375 --> 00:32:32,541
And they would still do,
1510
00:32:32,541 --> 00:32:33,875
you know, 150 people.
1511
00:32:33,875 --> 00:32:35,666
But when I think of Sweden,
1512
00:32:35,666 --> 00:32:37,208
I always think of that
1513
00:32:37,208 --> 00:32:38,333
kind of metal.
1514
00:32:38,333 --> 00:32:39,375
So I just imagine that
1515
00:32:39,375 --> 00:32:40,666
they must have like
1516
00:32:40,666 --> 00:32:42,958
that, that metal culture,
1517
00:32:42,958 --> 00:32:43,666
you know. Yeah.
1518
00:32:43,666 --> 00:32:45,166
You don't have that here.
1519
00:32:45,166 --> 00:32:46,666
You know, you don't go to any
1520
00:32:46,666 --> 00:32:47,833
you know, it's
1521
00:32:47,833 --> 00:32:49,166
no scandal in Scandinavia
1522
00:32:49,166 --> 00:32:50,125
in general.
1523
00:32:50,125 --> 00:32:51,791
It's like very metal dense.
1524
00:32:51,791 --> 00:32:52,875
Like I think Finland
1525
00:32:52,875 --> 00:32:55,083
has the highest metal band
1526
00:32:55,083 --> 00:32:56,375
per capita in the world.
1527
00:32:56,375 --> 00:32:57,250
There's like every
1528
00:32:58,625 --> 00:33:00,291
there's a metal band in every
1529
00:33:00,291 --> 00:33:01,625
basement, basically.
1530
00:33:01,625 --> 00:33:03,083
And don't forget like,
1531
00:33:03,083 --> 00:33:04,541
Sweden had a like
1532
00:33:04,541 --> 00:33:05,833
it wasn't only like,
1533
00:33:05,833 --> 00:33:07,208
harder metal,
1534
00:33:07,208 --> 00:33:09,416
like, in the 80s.
1535
00:33:09,416 --> 00:33:10,750
I grew up with
1536
00:33:10,750 --> 00:33:12,250
the success of Europe
1537
00:33:12,250 --> 00:33:13,958
and Joey Tempest's like the,
1538
00:33:13,958 --> 00:33:15,458
you know, you know,
1539
00:33:15,458 --> 00:33:16,541
the final countdown
1540
00:33:16,541 --> 00:33:19,125
was a big international hits.
1541
00:33:19,125 --> 00:33:20,833
That's a Swedish band, too.
1542
00:33:20,833 --> 00:33:22,625
And, in the in
1543
00:33:22,625 --> 00:33:24,000
their footsteps were bands
1544
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,291
like the Helicopters,
1545
00:33:25,291 --> 00:33:26,583
for instance,
1546
00:33:26,583 --> 00:33:27,833
which had a singer
1547
00:33:27,833 --> 00:33:29,208
that used to play the drums
1548
00:33:29,208 --> 00:33:30,541
and a
1549
00:33:30,541 --> 00:33:32,875
fantastic death metal rock
1550
00:33:32,875 --> 00:33:34,333
band called entombed,
1551
00:33:34,333 --> 00:33:36,875
if you know about them.
1552
00:33:36,875 --> 00:33:37,708
But yeah,
1553
00:33:37,708 --> 00:33:40,708
that's that's a lot there.
1554
00:33:40,750 --> 00:33:43,333
So, I mean,
1555
00:33:43,333 --> 00:33:44,708
I, I'm just really curious
1556
00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:45,125
and we'll have to
1557
00:33:45,125 --> 00:33:45,583
talk about this
1558
00:33:45,583 --> 00:33:46,708
another time, but like,
1559
00:33:46,708 --> 00:33:47,625
did you ever used to listen
1560
00:33:47,625 --> 00:33:49,208
to, like, at the drive in
1561
00:33:49,208 --> 00:33:50,041
or some of those,
1562
00:33:50,041 --> 00:33:53,333
like us, sort of smaller punk
1563
00:33:53,333 --> 00:33:55,208
rock bands on like indie
1564
00:33:55,208 --> 00:33:55,750
labels, like,
1565
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:56,375
were you into like
1566
00:33:56,375 --> 00:33:58,125
the Fat Records? Kind of like
1567
00:33:59,333 --> 00:34:00,500
stuff I,
1568
00:34:00,500 --> 00:34:02,083
I, I, I've
1569
00:34:02,083 --> 00:34:03,166
heard at the Drive-In,
1570
00:34:03,166 --> 00:34:04,250
but I would say like,
1571
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:06,458
you have to rewind the clock
1572
00:34:06,458 --> 00:34:07,208
a bit like,
1573
00:34:07,208 --> 00:34:09,000
more like Melvins,
1574
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,416
or like,
1575
00:34:10,416 --> 00:34:11,625
the more frontier acts
1576
00:34:11,625 --> 00:34:12,833
from the grunge scene.
1577
00:34:12,833 --> 00:34:15,583
More more like that kind of,
1578
00:34:15,583 --> 00:34:16,916
stuff,
1579
00:34:16,916 --> 00:34:18,458
in terms of smaller
1580
00:34:18,458 --> 00:34:19,875
American bands.
1581
00:34:19,875 --> 00:34:20,916
So that I like
1582
00:34:20,916 --> 00:34:22,083
I like the lot like,
1583
00:34:22,083 --> 00:34:23,500
I like the grunge bands
1584
00:34:23,500 --> 00:34:24,000
a lot.
1585
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,458
I especially a Soundgarden
1586
00:34:25,458 --> 00:34:26,375
and,
1587
00:34:26,375 --> 00:34:27,791
Nirvana and Alice in Chains.
1588
00:34:27,791 --> 00:34:28,041
Like,
1589
00:34:28,041 --> 00:34:29,833
I just loved
1590
00:34:29,833 --> 00:34:31,958
all all three of those bands
1591
00:34:31,958 --> 00:34:34,916
and, and and I like the,
1592
00:34:34,916 --> 00:34:35,375
the thrash
1593
00:34:35,375 --> 00:34:37,083
metal bands too, like,
1594
00:34:37,083 --> 00:34:37,666
I loved
1595
00:34:37,666 --> 00:34:39,041
Metallica and Slayer
1596
00:34:39,041 --> 00:34:40,791
and, Pantera
1597
00:34:40,791 --> 00:34:42,208
and all of that stuff,
1598
00:34:42,208 --> 00:34:44,041
really into that.
1599
00:34:44,041 --> 00:34:45,041
And I still listen to it
1600
00:34:45,041 --> 00:34:45,625
to this day,
1601
00:34:45,625 --> 00:34:46,208
and I'm
1602
00:34:46,208 --> 00:34:47,458
still finding new stuff
1603
00:34:47,458 --> 00:34:48,791
that I haven't heard
1604
00:34:48,791 --> 00:34:50,541
before, like,
1605
00:34:50,541 --> 00:34:51,166
especially in
1606
00:34:51,166 --> 00:34:52,083
the metal genres,
1607
00:34:52,083 --> 00:34:52,625
I guess, like,
1608
00:34:52,625 --> 00:34:55,375
I, I listen to Megadeth a lot
1609
00:34:55,375 --> 00:34:56,416
these days and,
1610
00:34:56,416 --> 00:34:57,375
and Exodus
1611
00:34:57,375 --> 00:34:58,708
and stuff like that.
1612
00:34:58,708 --> 00:34:59,541
I just love it.
1613
00:34:59,541 --> 00:35:01,000
It's,
1614
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,250
still close to my heart.
1615
00:35:03,541 --> 00:35:05,333
Okay, so,
1616
00:35:05,333 --> 00:35:06,500
man, there's so
1617
00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:07,208
many things we
1618
00:35:07,208 --> 00:35:07,958
talk about here.
1619
00:35:07,958 --> 00:35:09,458
I mean, okay, but like,
1620
00:35:09,458 --> 00:35:10,416
you know,
1621
00:35:10,416 --> 00:35:11,333
at least for me,
1622
00:35:11,333 --> 00:35:11,916
and I know,
1623
00:35:11,916 --> 00:35:12,875
I know a lot of people
1624
00:35:12,875 --> 00:35:14,833
like your music sort of core.
1625
00:35:14,833 --> 00:35:15,750
Where you start
1626
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:16,583
really comes from,
1627
00:35:16,583 --> 00:35:17,750
like, your father,
1628
00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:19,125
you a lot in a lot of ways.
1629
00:35:19,125 --> 00:35:19,291
Like,
1630
00:35:19,291 --> 00:35:20,000
what did you listen
1631
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,875
to in the house?
1632
00:35:20,875 --> 00:35:21,708
What did your parents
1633
00:35:21,708 --> 00:35:22,833
listen to?
1634
00:35:22,833 --> 00:35:23,125
You know,
1635
00:35:23,125 --> 00:35:24,000
my dad was like
1636
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,333
the classic rock guy.
1637
00:35:25,333 --> 00:35:25,541
You know,
1638
00:35:25,541 --> 00:35:26,208
we were talking about
1639
00:35:26,208 --> 00:35:27,083
the Beatles earlier
1640
00:35:27,083 --> 00:35:27,625
and how the hell
1641
00:35:27,625 --> 00:35:28,583
they recorded that shit
1642
00:35:28,583 --> 00:35:29,875
with eight tracks.
1643
00:35:29,875 --> 00:35:31,333
But,
1644
00:35:31,333 --> 00:35:32,791
you know, like,
1645
00:35:32,791 --> 00:35:34,416
so you're you're
1646
00:35:34,416 --> 00:35:35,250
parents, like,
1647
00:35:35,250 --> 00:35:36,625
what did they listen to
1648
00:35:36,625 --> 00:35:37,541
when you were a kid,
1649
00:35:37,541 --> 00:35:37,916
or did
1650
00:35:37,916 --> 00:35:39,083
they not listen to music
1651
00:35:39,083 --> 00:35:39,708
and you just kind
1652
00:35:39,708 --> 00:35:41,416
of discovered it on your own?
1653
00:35:41,416 --> 00:35:43,041
Oh, I, I grew up with music.
1654
00:35:43,041 --> 00:35:43,666
Definitely.
1655
00:35:43,666 --> 00:35:45,166
And my father played
1656
00:35:45,166 --> 00:35:45,666
the guitar.
1657
00:35:45,666 --> 00:35:46,875
And,
1658
00:35:46,875 --> 00:35:48,458
we have a long history
1659
00:35:48,458 --> 00:35:49,625
of music in my family.
1660
00:35:49,625 --> 00:35:50,500
My my great
1661
00:35:50,500 --> 00:35:51,875
great grandfather.
1662
00:35:51,875 --> 00:35:52,666
No, my great
1663
00:35:52,666 --> 00:35:54,208
grandfather's brother
1664
00:35:54,208 --> 00:35:55,625
was a famous opera
1665
00:35:55,625 --> 00:35:58,125
singer, a tenor. What?
1666
00:35:58,125 --> 00:35:59,541
He sang Wagner.
1667
00:36:02,833 --> 00:36:05,000
So, so Wagner operas.
1668
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,041
And, so so so, my parents,
1669
00:36:09,375 --> 00:36:10,583
or especially my father.
1670
00:36:10,583 --> 00:36:11,875
I guess my mother wasn't
1671
00:36:11,875 --> 00:36:13,041
that interested in music,
1672
00:36:13,041 --> 00:36:14,166
but my father had a,
1673
00:36:14,166 --> 00:36:15,791
a huge music interest,
1674
00:36:15,791 --> 00:36:17,125
and he listened to a lot of
1675
00:36:17,125 --> 00:36:18,500
classic music,
1676
00:36:18,500 --> 00:36:19,416
classical music,
1677
00:36:19,416 --> 00:36:21,791
and operas and stuff.
1678
00:36:21,791 --> 00:36:25,541
But also, the Beatles and
1679
00:36:25,625 --> 00:36:27,083
and other stuff
1680
00:36:27,083 --> 00:36:28,875
from, from that era.
1681
00:36:28,875 --> 00:36:29,875
So I
1682
00:36:29,875 --> 00:36:32,875
definitely grew up with,
1683
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:33,666
with a lot of
1684
00:36:33,666 --> 00:36:36,250
different music,
1685
00:36:36,250 --> 00:36:37,333
maybe not alike.
1686
00:36:37,333 --> 00:36:39,416
I guess my father's interest
1687
00:36:39,416 --> 00:36:41,458
in popular music,
1688
00:36:41,458 --> 00:36:42,375
sort of ended
1689
00:36:42,375 --> 00:36:43,500
when the 60s ended
1690
00:36:43,500 --> 00:36:44,500
and he wasn't really
1691
00:36:44,500 --> 00:36:45,166
following, like,
1692
00:36:45,166 --> 00:36:46,541
he was never into Zeppelin
1693
00:36:46,541 --> 00:36:47,125
or Sabotage
1694
00:36:47,125 --> 00:36:48,125
or anything like that.
1695
00:36:48,125 --> 00:36:49,083
So I had to discover
1696
00:36:49,083 --> 00:36:50,375
that on my own.
1697
00:36:50,375 --> 00:36:53,500
But that was like the town.
1698
00:36:53,500 --> 00:36:54,875
The small town I grew up
1699
00:36:54,875 --> 00:36:57,041
in was a huge music town.
1700
00:36:57,041 --> 00:36:58,000
Like, music
1701
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:58,958
was the thing, like,
1702
00:36:58,958 --> 00:37:00,541
everyone was into,
1703
00:37:00,541 --> 00:37:02,208
or everyone
1704
00:37:02,208 --> 00:37:03,208
I hung out with in my
1705
00:37:03,208 --> 00:37:04,416
teens, like, really
1706
00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:07,125
identified with
1707
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:08,041
whatever music
1708
00:37:08,041 --> 00:37:08,791
they listened to.
1709
00:37:08,791 --> 00:37:09,875
And there was the,
1710
00:37:09,875 --> 00:37:10,875
even earlier than that,
1711
00:37:10,875 --> 00:37:12,000
there was this feud
1712
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,083
between the
1713
00:37:13,083 --> 00:37:17,083
synth, fans and the, heavy
1714
00:37:17,083 --> 00:37:18,500
metal fans, like,
1715
00:37:18,500 --> 00:37:19,625
there was a feud
1716
00:37:19,625 --> 00:37:21,666
going on those.
1717
00:37:21,666 --> 00:37:23,458
So, so yeah, that's
1718
00:37:23,458 --> 00:37:24,791
that's my musical background.
1719
00:37:24,791 --> 00:37:26,083
And, I'm like,
1720
00:37:26,083 --> 00:37:26,291
well,
1721
00:37:26,291 --> 00:37:26,708
whatever
1722
00:37:26,708 --> 00:37:27,708
I found in my late
1723
00:37:27,708 --> 00:37:28,500
teens, it's
1724
00:37:28,500 --> 00:37:30,375
it's still close to my heart.
1725
00:37:30,375 --> 00:37:31,666
How about you?
1726
00:37:31,666 --> 00:37:32,750
What what bands
1727
00:37:32,750 --> 00:37:33,791
did you grow up with?
1728
00:37:33,791 --> 00:37:35,375
What did you listen to
1729
00:37:35,375 --> 00:37:36,250
other than what
1730
00:37:36,250 --> 00:37:36,791
your father
1731
00:37:36,791 --> 00:37:38,458
already listened to?
1732
00:37:38,458 --> 00:37:41,375
I mean, you know what?
1733
00:37:41,375 --> 00:37:42,250
What came out?
1734
00:37:42,250 --> 00:37:42,875
I mean, Weezer
1735
00:37:42,875 --> 00:37:44,083
was big, right?
1736
00:37:44,083 --> 00:37:45,375
When the Blue Album came out,
1737
00:37:45,375 --> 00:37:46,375
that was a big deal.
1738
00:37:46,375 --> 00:37:48,583
Or like Green Day Dookie.
1739
00:37:48,583 --> 00:37:49,500
You know, when Green Day
1740
00:37:49,500 --> 00:37:50,375
Dookie came out,
1741
00:37:50,375 --> 00:37:51,583
that was kind of like
1742
00:37:52,625 --> 00:37:54,583
a way to really discover
1743
00:37:54,583 --> 00:37:55,541
another world,
1744
00:37:55,541 --> 00:37:57,416
because I, I really didn't,
1745
00:37:57,416 --> 00:37:58,625
you know, pop punk.
1746
00:37:58,625 --> 00:37:59,500
I don't know where the
1747
00:37:59,500 --> 00:38:01,208
the Ramones, pop punk,
1748
00:38:01,208 --> 00:38:02,083
you know, the misfits,
1749
00:38:02,083 --> 00:38:03,666
pop punk. I don't know.
1750
00:38:03,666 --> 00:38:05,875
But you know, that
1751
00:38:05,875 --> 00:38:07,125
that kind of started
1752
00:38:07,125 --> 00:38:09,166
that Green Day.
1753
00:38:09,166 --> 00:38:09,750
I think that
1754
00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:10,458
that really did it
1755
00:38:10,458 --> 00:38:11,375
for a lot of people
1756
00:38:11,375 --> 00:38:12,166
around that time,
1757
00:38:12,166 --> 00:38:12,750
because then all of a sudden
1758
00:38:12,750 --> 00:38:13,208
you discover,
1759
00:38:13,208 --> 00:38:14,125
look out records,
1760
00:38:14,125 --> 00:38:14,666
you discover, like,
1761
00:38:14,666 --> 00:38:16,208
what's operation Ivy?
1762
00:38:16,208 --> 00:38:16,958
And then all of a sudden
1763
00:38:16,958 --> 00:38:19,958
you start going in deeper,
1764
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,291
I think in,
1765
00:38:22,291 --> 00:38:24,583
in the circles I was in,
1766
00:38:24,583 --> 00:38:26,291
it was kind of embarrassing
1767
00:38:26,291 --> 00:38:29,583
to like, Green Day or or,
1768
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:31,833
What was the other band
1769
00:38:31,833 --> 00:38:33,791
you said there?
1770
00:38:33,791 --> 00:38:35,541
But like blink one, 82
1771
00:38:35,541 --> 00:38:37,958
or anything or even Weezer,
1772
00:38:37,958 --> 00:38:39,250
it was kind of like,
1773
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:40,541
you weren't
1774
00:38:40,541 --> 00:38:41,625
one of the cool kids.
1775
00:38:41,625 --> 00:38:42,166
If you're listen
1776
00:38:42,166 --> 00:38:43,375
to this kind of,
1777
00:38:43,375 --> 00:38:45,208
radio schlock thing,
1778
00:38:45,208 --> 00:38:45,958
you were supposed to be
1779
00:38:45,958 --> 00:38:46,875
more metal,
1780
00:38:46,875 --> 00:38:48,708
more like, with
1781
00:38:48,708 --> 00:38:49,625
a mopey, grown,
1782
00:38:50,833 --> 00:38:52,083
grunge people
1783
00:38:52,083 --> 00:38:52,666
that that
1784
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:53,750
wanted to kill themselves
1785
00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:54,125
and stuff
1786
00:38:54,125 --> 00:38:55,333
that was way cooler
1787
00:38:55,333 --> 00:38:56,708
when you were more
1788
00:38:56,708 --> 00:38:57,458
a more deep
1789
00:38:57,458 --> 00:38:58,875
and interesting person,
1790
00:38:58,875 --> 00:39:00,375
if you did, I guess.
1791
00:39:00,375 --> 00:39:01,583
But,
1792
00:39:01,583 --> 00:39:04,041
but like so in hindsight, I,
1793
00:39:04,041 --> 00:39:05,541
I always loved that stuff.
1794
00:39:05,541 --> 00:39:07,625
And Duke is a great album.
1795
00:39:07,625 --> 00:39:07,958
Right.
1796
00:39:07,958 --> 00:39:09,458
And and, the Blue
1797
00:39:09,458 --> 00:39:10,875
Album, the Weezer,
1798
00:39:10,875 --> 00:39:11,250
you know,
1799
00:39:11,250 --> 00:39:12,500
if you want to destroy
1800
00:39:12,500 --> 00:39:13,541
my sweater, like,
1801
00:39:13,541 --> 00:39:15,125
grab a string as I walk away.
1802
00:39:15,125 --> 00:39:16,291
It's it's a fucking
1803
00:39:16,291 --> 00:39:17,583
brilliant song.
1804
00:39:17,583 --> 00:39:20,291
I just love Weezer.
1805
00:39:20,291 --> 00:39:22,666
Always have,
1806
00:39:22,666 --> 00:39:24,333
but like that transition
1807
00:39:24,333 --> 00:39:25,166
that gets you away
1808
00:39:25,166 --> 00:39:25,875
from kind of like,
1809
00:39:25,875 --> 00:39:27,375
what your father's listening,
1810
00:39:27,375 --> 00:39:28,083
and you're at that,
1811
00:39:28,083 --> 00:39:29,458
like, point in your life,
1812
00:39:29,458 --> 00:39:30,791
you know, those formidable.
1813
00:39:30,791 --> 00:39:31,333
Like what?
1814
00:39:31,333 --> 00:39:32,916
You know, something like that
1815
00:39:32,916 --> 00:39:33,583
that comes out,
1816
00:39:33,583 --> 00:39:34,625
that gives you the taste
1817
00:39:34,625 --> 00:39:35,875
because then, you know,
1818
00:39:35,875 --> 00:39:37,750
you discover everything else.
1819
00:39:37,750 --> 00:39:38,625
That might not be
1820
00:39:38,625 --> 00:39:39,791
the commercial success,
1821
00:39:39,791 --> 00:39:40,000
right?
1822
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,625
Somebody who was
1823
00:39:40,625 --> 00:39:41,541
a little later
1824
00:39:41,541 --> 00:39:43,458
when maybe they, you know,
1825
00:39:43,458 --> 00:39:45,041
discovered, no doubt,
1826
00:39:45,041 --> 00:39:45,458
you know,
1827
00:39:45,458 --> 00:39:47,291
actually found real ska,
1828
00:39:47,291 --> 00:39:49,416
you know, and like, you know,
1829
00:39:49,416 --> 00:39:51,375
but like I was 15
1830
00:39:51,375 --> 00:39:52,875
and I had an opportunity
1831
00:39:52,875 --> 00:39:54,500
to work the concessions
1832
00:39:54,500 --> 00:39:57,500
booth at Lollapalooza in 96.
1833
00:39:58,375 --> 00:39:59,166
Maybe I was 14.
1834
00:39:59,166 --> 00:40:00,250
So I had never
1835
00:40:00,250 --> 00:40:01,250
really went in.
1836
00:40:01,250 --> 00:40:01,875
I had no idea
1837
00:40:01,875 --> 00:40:02,375
what was going on.
1838
00:40:02,375 --> 00:40:02,875
So I did it,
1839
00:40:02,875 --> 00:40:04,125
and I was working.
1840
00:40:04,125 --> 00:40:05,083
And, you know,
1841
00:40:05,083 --> 00:40:05,833
I took a break
1842
00:40:05,833 --> 00:40:06,833
and I went out
1843
00:40:06,833 --> 00:40:09,833
and like, rancid came on
1844
00:40:10,125 --> 00:40:12,250
and that I had never heard
1845
00:40:12,250 --> 00:40:12,875
of ranch.
1846
00:40:12,875 --> 00:40:13,916
I had no idea what it was.
1847
00:40:13,916 --> 00:40:15,166
And it just, like,
1848
00:40:15,166 --> 00:40:16,625
kicked a hole in my
1849
00:40:17,708 --> 00:40:18,250
soul.
1850
00:40:18,250 --> 00:40:19,750
I was like, what is this?
1851
00:40:19,750 --> 00:40:21,625
This is the greatest thing
1852
00:40:21,625 --> 00:40:23,708
I've ever seen.
1853
00:40:23,708 --> 00:40:24,041
Yeah.
1854
00:40:24,041 --> 00:40:25,958
If, speaking of Lollapalooza
1855
00:40:25,958 --> 00:40:27,666
96, I have to ask,
1856
00:40:27,666 --> 00:40:29,416
did you see Primus?
1857
00:40:29,416 --> 00:40:30,041
I think they were
1858
00:40:30,041 --> 00:40:31,833
in the prime back then.
1859
00:40:31,833 --> 00:40:33,250
See, I knew that you were.
1860
00:40:33,250 --> 00:40:34,666
I know that you have to be
1861
00:40:34,666 --> 00:40:35,500
somebody who loves
1862
00:40:35,500 --> 00:40:36,541
Primus, but, man,
1863
00:40:36,541 --> 00:40:38,416
I just can't get into it.
1864
00:40:38,416 --> 00:40:39,000
You know?
1865
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,708
I absolutely adore Primus.
1866
00:40:40,708 --> 00:40:41,375
And they were
1867
00:40:41,375 --> 00:40:42,583
in the top Billboard
1868
00:40:42,583 --> 00:40:43,666
top ten
1869
00:40:43,666 --> 00:40:44,875
with an Al album
1870
00:40:44,875 --> 00:40:46,625
called Pork Soda.
1871
00:40:46,625 --> 00:40:47,958
Like, it's.
1872
00:40:47,958 --> 00:40:49,625
No, they're fucking amazing.
1873
00:40:49,625 --> 00:40:50,708
And I just love
1874
00:40:50,708 --> 00:40:52,208
the guy is such a
1875
00:40:52,208 --> 00:40:53,833
such an odd character
1876
00:40:53,833 --> 00:40:55,666
and such an amazing musician.
1877
00:40:55,666 --> 00:40:57,500
I just adore Primus.
1878
00:40:57,500 --> 00:40:59,291
Yeah.
1879
00:40:59,291 --> 00:41:02,125
And everything they've done.
1880
00:41:02,125 --> 00:41:04,125
See where it where a lot of,
1881
00:41:04,125 --> 00:41:05,666
like, the metal heads,
1882
00:41:05,666 --> 00:41:07,291
because I, I'm not,
1883
00:41:07,291 --> 00:41:09,041
like, a death metal person,
1884
00:41:09,041 --> 00:41:09,416
you know,
1885
00:41:09,416 --> 00:41:10,416
but there's always like,
1886
00:41:10,416 --> 00:41:11,500
that middle ground
1887
00:41:11,500 --> 00:41:12,625
where you can come together.
1888
00:41:12,625 --> 00:41:14,666
So somebody who loves metal,
1889
00:41:14,666 --> 00:41:15,583
they're a metalhead.
1890
00:41:15,583 --> 00:41:16,125
Like,
1891
00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:17,625
we can both come together
1892
00:41:17,625 --> 00:41:18,625
on Zeppelin,
1893
00:41:18,625 --> 00:41:19,000
you know,
1894
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,458
we can both come together
1895
00:41:20,458 --> 00:41:22,500
on maybe God, you know,
1896
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:23,833
come together like.
1897
00:41:25,375 --> 00:41:26,041
Hello there.
1898
00:41:26,041 --> 00:41:27,208
I'm Kurt Swann home,
1899

These are my books
1903
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:32,916
on Bitcoin.
1904
00:41:32,916 --> 00:41:33,750
Bitcoin sovereignty
1905
00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:35,041
through mathematics.
1906
00:41:35,041 --> 00:41:36,166
Bitcoin independence
1907
00:41:36,166 --> 00:41:37,750
reimagined. Bitcoin.
1908
00:41:37,750 --> 00:41:38,583
Everything divided
1909
00:41:38,583 --> 00:41:39,708
by 21 million.
1910
00:41:39,708 --> 00:41:40,666
I'm Bitcoin
1911
00:41:40,666 --> 00:41:42,125
the inverse of clown world.
1912
00:41:42,125 --> 00:41:44,041
These are now re-edited,
1913
00:41:44,041 --> 00:41:46,000
redesigned and available
1914
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:46,625

Infinity store.
1916
00:41:47,375 --> 00:41:48,541
I mean look at that.
1917
00:41:48,541 --> 00:41:50,000
Look at how your collection
1918
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,500
could look.
1919
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:52,958
Oh. It's upside down.
1920
00:41:52,958 --> 00:41:54,333
But there they are anyway.
1921
00:41:54,333 --> 00:41:55,375
But more than that,
1922
00:41:55,375 --> 00:41:56,333

1923
00:41:56,333 --> 00:41:58,083

1947
00:42:24,833 --> 00:42:25,625
I have a
1948
00:42:25,625 --> 00:42:27,041
handful of albums
1949
00:42:27,041 --> 00:42:28,083
in my teens
1950
00:42:28,083 --> 00:42:28,708
that that
1951
00:42:28,708 --> 00:42:30,250
just changed my life.
1952
00:42:30,250 --> 00:42:31,416
And one of them is appetite
1953
00:42:31,416 --> 00:42:32,083
for destruction
1954
00:42:32,083 --> 00:42:32,500
is a which
1955
00:42:32,500 --> 00:42:33,583
I still to this day
1956
00:42:33,583 --> 00:42:34,458
think is one of the
1957
00:42:34,458 --> 00:42:35,541
most brilliant albums
1958
00:42:35,541 --> 00:42:35,958
ever made.
1959
00:42:35,958 --> 00:42:37,916
Like it's very hard to top.
1960
00:42:37,916 --> 00:42:39,458
Slash was fucking 18
1961
00:42:39,458 --> 00:42:40,416
when he played
1962
00:42:40,416 --> 00:42:41,375
those guitar licks
1963
00:42:41,375 --> 00:42:42,458
like it's it
1964
00:42:42,458 --> 00:42:43,416
absolutely blows
1965
00:42:43,416 --> 00:42:45,458
my mind that they managed to
1966
00:42:46,541 --> 00:42:48,083
just, you know,
1967
00:42:48,083 --> 00:42:49,416
stay sober enough to
1968
00:42:49,416 --> 00:42:50,083
to record
1969
00:42:50,083 --> 00:42:52,208
that thing for, for,
1970
00:42:52,208 --> 00:42:53,625
for the duration
1971
00:42:53,625 --> 00:42:54,250
of the session.
1972
00:42:54,250 --> 00:42:55,125
It's just
1973
00:42:55,125 --> 00:42:56,416
it's just a brilliant.
1974
00:42:56,416 --> 00:42:57,375
If they were sober,
1975
00:42:57,375 --> 00:42:57,875
I don't care.
1976
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:58,750
It's a it's,
1977
00:42:58,750 --> 00:42:59,750
it's probably not.
1978
00:42:59,750 --> 00:43:00,541
It's a brilliant,
1979
00:43:00,541 --> 00:43:02,291
debut album
1980
00:43:02,291 --> 00:43:03,291
and never mind,
1981
00:43:03,291 --> 00:43:04,208
of course, came out
1982
00:43:04,208 --> 00:43:05,041
like just a couple
1983
00:43:05,041 --> 00:43:06,666
of years later,
1984
00:43:06,666 --> 00:43:08,250
which was also like
1985
00:43:08,250 --> 00:43:09,250
it changed the game
1986
00:43:09,250 --> 00:43:10,583
completely, like,
1987
00:43:10,583 --> 00:43:11,625
all of a sudden
1988
00:43:11,625 --> 00:43:12,500
no one was listening
1989
00:43:12,500 --> 00:43:13,333
to hip hop anymore
1990
00:43:13,333 --> 00:43:13,875
because like
1991
00:43:13,875 --> 00:43:14,625
a couple of years
1992
00:43:14,625 --> 00:43:16,416
before that N.W.A happened,
1993
00:43:16,416 --> 00:43:17,166
then everyone's like,
1994
00:43:17,166 --> 00:43:17,708
what is this
1995
00:43:17,708 --> 00:43:19,291
cool new music genre?
1996
00:43:19,291 --> 00:43:20,500
And then never mind happened
1997
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:22,000
and no one was listening
1998
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,250
to that anymore.
1999
00:43:23,250 --> 00:43:26,250
And
2000
00:43:26,333 --> 00:43:27,583
what's another album?
2001
00:43:27,583 --> 00:43:27,750
Yeah.
2002
00:43:27,750 --> 00:43:28,958
For me, Soundgarden
2003
00:43:28,958 --> 00:43:30,875
Super Unknown was like
2004
00:43:30,875 --> 00:43:31,875
next level shit.
2005
00:43:31,875 --> 00:43:33,458
I had never heard anything
2006
00:43:33,458 --> 00:43:34,833
like it was so well-produced
2007
00:43:34,833 --> 00:43:36,041
and so such,
2008
00:43:36,041 --> 00:43:37,666
such simple yet,
2009
00:43:37,666 --> 00:43:38,833
intelligent
2010
00:43:38,833 --> 00:43:39,458
songs,
2011
00:43:39,458 --> 00:43:40,708
often
2012
00:43:40,708 --> 00:43:41,125
in odd
2013
00:43:41,125 --> 00:43:42,583
time signatures and stuff
2014
00:43:42,583 --> 00:43:45,000
and, still very sing along
2015
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,791
and like, that was,
2016
00:43:47,916 --> 00:43:48,875
to me, that's a
2017
00:43:48,875 --> 00:43:50,833
perfect album to like,
2018
00:43:50,833 --> 00:43:51,541
Then of course,
2019
00:43:51,541 --> 00:43:52,083
when I
2020
00:43:52,083 --> 00:43:52,791
discovered Pink
2021
00:43:52,791 --> 00:43:53,375
Floyd and the,
2022
00:43:53,375 --> 00:43:53,833
you know, Dark
2023
00:43:53,833 --> 00:43:55,125
Side of the moon and the wall
2024
00:43:55,125 --> 00:43:55,875
and all of this stuff,
2025
00:43:55,875 --> 00:43:56,625
that was also,
2026
00:43:56,625 --> 00:43:57,375
I remember
2027
00:43:57,375 --> 00:43:58,375
first time I saw the
2028
00:43:58,375 --> 00:43:59,458
The Wall, the
2029
00:43:59,458 --> 00:44:00,583
the movie, The Wall,
2030
00:44:00,583 --> 00:44:03,583
I think it was 16 and,
2031
00:44:05,166 --> 00:44:06,250
I was in France
2032
00:44:06,250 --> 00:44:07,375
at a friend's house
2033
00:44:07,375 --> 00:44:09,333
or a friend,
2034
00:44:09,333 --> 00:44:10,458
what became a friend
2035
00:44:10,458 --> 00:44:11,166
there was my
2036
00:44:11,166 --> 00:44:12,458
my parents were friends
2037
00:44:12,458 --> 00:44:13,333
with his parents,
2038
00:44:13,333 --> 00:44:14,291
and they wanted me
2039
00:44:14,291 --> 00:44:14,916
to see friends.
2040
00:44:14,916 --> 00:44:16,750
For what? So? So.
2041
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:17,125
And that's
2042
00:44:17,125 --> 00:44:18,041
where I saw the wall.
2043
00:44:18,041 --> 00:44:18,666
And it's like,
2044
00:44:18,666 --> 00:44:21,666
mind blowing to me that,
2045
00:44:22,250 --> 00:44:23,208
the music and,
2046
00:44:23,208 --> 00:44:24,833
the way that story was told
2047
00:44:24,833 --> 00:44:26,000
is completely different
2048
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:26,916
from everything else
2049
00:44:26,916 --> 00:44:27,625
I'd seen before.
2050
00:44:27,625 --> 00:44:29,625
It, super depressing,
2051
00:44:29,625 --> 00:44:31,208
but super good, like,
2052
00:44:31,208 --> 00:44:32,666
so, yeah,
2053
00:44:33,791 --> 00:44:34,875
it is depressing.
2054
00:44:34,875 --> 00:44:35,416
It's not an
2055
00:44:35,416 --> 00:44:37,458
uplifting, fun movie.
2056
00:44:37,458 --> 00:44:40,458
But it's so good, though.
2057
00:44:40,500 --> 00:44:41,500
You know, when you
2058
00:44:41,500 --> 00:44:43,750
if I think about, like,
2059
00:44:43,750 --> 00:44:45,041
if you pick people
2060
00:44:45,041 --> 00:44:45,666
that have had
2061
00:44:45,666 --> 00:44:48,125
the most insane, amazing life
2062
00:44:48,125 --> 00:44:48,833
where you could
2063
00:44:48,833 --> 00:44:50,708
if you could just experience
2064
00:44:50,708 --> 00:44:52,375
what they've gone through.
2065
00:44:52,375 --> 00:44:55,750
Axl Rose has to be nuts
2066
00:44:56,083 --> 00:44:56,916
because, you know,
2067
00:44:56,916 --> 00:44:58,208
your priest, sort of.
2068
00:44:58,208 --> 00:44:59,166
All of the world
2069
00:44:59,166 --> 00:44:59,916
that we're living in
2070
00:44:59,916 --> 00:45:01,750
right now. Okay.
2071
00:45:01,750 --> 00:45:04,541
And just to be at that level
2072
00:45:04,541 --> 00:45:05,125
of like,
2073
00:45:05,125 --> 00:45:07,333
height and fame in an analog
2074
00:45:07,333 --> 00:45:08,708
sort of world
2075
00:45:08,708 --> 00:45:10,541
right before the cellphones
2076
00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:11,166
and people
2077
00:45:11,166 --> 00:45:12,958
actually had attention spans
2078
00:45:12,958 --> 00:45:14,416
and just the groupies
2079
00:45:14,416 --> 00:45:16,333
and the sheer size of, like,
2080
00:45:16,333 --> 00:45:17,458
the magnitude
2081
00:45:17,458 --> 00:45:20,166
of what they lived like that
2082
00:45:20,166 --> 00:45:21,291
that had been like,
2083
00:45:21,291 --> 00:45:22,416
if you could pop the cassette
2084
00:45:22,416 --> 00:45:23,416
tape in and be like,
2085
00:45:23,416 --> 00:45:25,375
let me try that for a year.
2086
00:45:25,375 --> 00:45:26,083
That had to have
2087
00:45:26,083 --> 00:45:27,416
been just nuts.
2088
00:45:28,416 --> 00:45:28,625
Yeah.
2089
00:45:28,625 --> 00:45:29,708
I think
2090
00:45:29,708 --> 00:45:32,708
both of our lives are are,
2091
00:45:33,791 --> 00:45:34,875
like in comparison
2092
00:45:34,875 --> 00:45:36,208
to your average Joe,
2093
00:45:36,208 --> 00:45:36,958
our lives are
2094
00:45:36,958 --> 00:45:38,000
super interesting.
2095
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:39,666
And like, life
2096
00:45:39,666 --> 00:45:40,500
after Bitcoin
2097
00:45:40,500 --> 00:45:41,708
has given me so much
2098
00:45:41,708 --> 00:45:42,875
that I never expected
2099
00:45:42,875 --> 00:45:43,416
from life.
2100
00:45:43,416 --> 00:45:44,041
And it's yours,
2101
00:45:44,041 --> 00:45:45,083
but it's still pales
2102
00:45:45,083 --> 00:45:45,875
in comparison
2103
00:45:45,875 --> 00:45:47,375
to someone like Axl Rose.
2104
00:45:47,375 --> 00:45:48,250
Of course.
2105
00:45:48,250 --> 00:45:50,708
But but yeah, you know,
2106
00:45:50,708 --> 00:45:51,666
you shouldn't complain.
2107
00:45:51,666 --> 00:45:52,916
I guess.
2108
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:53,625
Yeah.
2109
00:45:53,625 --> 00:45:54,625
I mean, the level of fame.
2110
00:45:54,625 --> 00:45:55,875
So one time, you know,
2111
00:45:55,875 --> 00:45:57,083
they had this thing on tour,
2112
00:45:57,083 --> 00:45:58,875
they call it a rock doc,
2113
00:45:58,875 --> 00:45:59,250
okay?
2114
00:45:59,250 --> 00:46:00,375
And a rock doc
2115
00:46:00,375 --> 00:46:01,750
is basically a doctor
2116
00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:02,916
or a nurse practitioner.
2117
00:46:02,916 --> 00:46:04,833
That's specializes in
2118
00:46:04,833 --> 00:46:06,375
bands or singers,
2119
00:46:06,375 --> 00:46:08,125
or they'll come to the venue.
2120
00:46:08,125 --> 00:46:09,500
So, you know,
2121
00:46:09,500 --> 00:46:10,333
we had a singer
2122
00:46:10,333 --> 00:46:11,375
who wasn't feeling well.
2123
00:46:11,375 --> 00:46:12,166
And basically there's
2124
00:46:12,166 --> 00:46:13,125
a shot of like,
2125
00:46:13,125 --> 00:46:14,583
this magic B12
2126
00:46:14,583 --> 00:46:16,125
fix everything in the world
2127
00:46:16,125 --> 00:46:17,416
that's wrong with you.
2128
00:46:17,416 --> 00:46:19,958
And I ordered this rock doc,
2129
00:46:19,958 --> 00:46:21,583
that came to the show
2130
00:46:21,583 --> 00:46:22,333
and, you know,
2131
00:46:22,333 --> 00:46:23,083
gave the singer
2132
00:46:23,083 --> 00:46:24,583
a shot and, you know,
2133
00:46:24,583 --> 00:46:25,708
and I just started
2134
00:46:25,708 --> 00:46:26,500
talking to her,
2135
00:46:26,500 --> 00:46:27,458
and she had all these
2136
00:46:27,458 --> 00:46:28,458
stories,
2137
00:46:28,458 --> 00:46:29,708
and she was telling stories
2138
00:46:29,708 --> 00:46:31,416
about Axl Rose
2139
00:46:31,416 --> 00:46:32,375
and how
2140
00:46:32,375 --> 00:46:33,250
he would want
2141
00:46:33,250 --> 00:46:36,791
to get a shot in his throat.
2142
00:46:37,500 --> 00:46:39,250
And the shot,
2143
00:46:39,250 --> 00:46:41,291
like a shot of heroin
2144
00:46:41,291 --> 00:46:43,333
in the back of his throat
2145
00:46:43,333 --> 00:46:43,958
that would, like,
2146
00:46:43,958 --> 00:46:45,541
loosen up his, like,
2147
00:46:45,541 --> 00:46:46,958
vocal chords and, like,
2148
00:46:46,958 --> 00:46:48,416
do all this crazy stuff.
2149
00:46:48,416 --> 00:46:49,958
She had insane stories.
2150
00:46:49,958 --> 00:46:50,291
I don't
2151
00:46:50,291 --> 00:46:50,625
I don't know
2152
00:46:50,625 --> 00:46:51,458
if it's true or not,
2153
00:46:51,458 --> 00:46:52,458
but she was telling
2154
00:46:52,458 --> 00:46:53,708
a few of them.
2155
00:46:53,708 --> 00:46:54,333
He's the one
2156
00:46:54,333 --> 00:46:55,833
they call like the feel good.
2157
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:57,791
Yes.
2158
00:46:57,791 --> 00:46:59,666
Yeah. There you go.
2159
00:46:59,666 --> 00:47:04,166
No, I read his biography
2160
00:47:04,166 --> 00:47:05,291
and it's insane.
2161
00:47:05,291 --> 00:47:05,916
Like,
2162
00:47:05,916 --> 00:47:06,458
I don't know how
2163
00:47:06,458 --> 00:47:07,375
much of it is true
2164
00:47:07,375 --> 00:47:09,125
and how much he misremembers,
2165
00:47:09,125 --> 00:47:11,041
but it's absolutely insane.
2166
00:47:11,041 --> 00:47:12,041
I read also, too,
2167
00:47:12,041 --> 00:47:12,958
I think, and,
2168
00:47:12,958 --> 00:47:14,666
Lemmy's
2169
00:47:14,666 --> 00:47:16,000
autobiographies
2170
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,708
and they're all insane, like,
2171
00:47:17,708 --> 00:47:19,500
but especially slash like,
2172
00:47:19,500 --> 00:47:20,541
that's just
2173
00:47:20,541 --> 00:47:21,333
the fact that he's
2174
00:47:21,333 --> 00:47:24,333
still alive is just amazing.
2175
00:47:24,583 --> 00:47:27,083
Really slash versus slash
2176
00:47:27,083 --> 00:47:28,708
versus Keith Richards.
2177
00:47:28,708 --> 00:47:30,791
I'm really curious.
2178
00:47:30,791 --> 00:47:31,250
Yeah.
2179
00:47:31,250 --> 00:47:32,250
Keith
2180
00:47:32,250 --> 00:47:33,458
Richards is an interesting
2181
00:47:33,458 --> 00:47:34,208
one, too.
2182
00:47:34,208 --> 00:47:35,166
I mean,
2183
00:47:35,166 --> 00:47:37,750
just off his dad's ashes.
2184
00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:38,083
Yeah.
2185
00:47:38,083 --> 00:47:39,375
And
2186
00:47:39,375 --> 00:47:40,208
but slash has a
2187
00:47:40,208 --> 00:47:41,750
defibrillator,
2188
00:47:41,750 --> 00:47:44,750
in his chest, like, that's,
2189
00:47:45,083 --> 00:47:46,541
that is that,
2190
00:47:46,541 --> 00:47:47,583
I mean, permanently,
2191
00:47:47,583 --> 00:47:48,208
it's it's
2192
00:47:48,208 --> 00:47:50,291
a stationary defibrillator.
2193
00:47:50,291 --> 00:47:52,625
And whenever he's like,
2194
00:47:52,625 --> 00:47:54,750
when he,
2195
00:47:54,750 --> 00:47:55,666
it jolts
2196
00:47:55,666 --> 00:47:57,333
him back to back to life
2197
00:47:57,333 --> 00:47:58,208
every once in a while.
2198
00:47:58,208 --> 00:47:59,208
So the book starts
2199
00:47:59,208 --> 00:47:59,666
with, like,
2200
00:47:59,666 --> 00:48:01,125
is having a concert
2201
00:48:01,125 --> 00:48:02,375
with Velvet Revolver,
2202
00:48:02,375 --> 00:48:02,916
and he's about
2203
00:48:02,916 --> 00:48:03,791
to do the solo,
2204
00:48:03,791 --> 00:48:04,666
and it feels like
2205
00:48:04,666 --> 00:48:05,500
kind of this thing
2206
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:06,541
is about to fall over.
2207
00:48:06,541 --> 00:48:07,625
And then all of a sudden the
2208
00:48:07,625 --> 00:48:09,875
the defibrillator
2209
00:48:09,875 --> 00:48:10,708
starts him up again.
2210
00:48:11,875 --> 00:48:13,666
So
2211
00:48:13,666 --> 00:48:15,500
yeah, like, like
2212
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:18,125
guns N Roses or Nirvana,
2213
00:48:18,125 --> 00:48:18,791
you know, it.
2214
00:48:18,791 --> 00:48:20,041
Just when you look back,
2215
00:48:20,041 --> 00:48:21,500
there's always that period
2216
00:48:21,500 --> 00:48:21,958
where there's
2217
00:48:21,958 --> 00:48:24,000
that kind of new sound,
2218
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:24,416
you know,
2219
00:48:24,416 --> 00:48:26,083
that new that new sound,
2220
00:48:26,083 --> 00:48:27,125
because it was like
2221
00:48:27,125 --> 00:48:28,333
you were coming out of this
2222
00:48:28,333 --> 00:48:30,375
like kind of hair metal,
2223
00:48:30,375 --> 00:48:32,541
kind of like 80s metal.
2224
00:48:32,541 --> 00:48:33,458
And then you kind of
2225
00:48:33,458 --> 00:48:36,250
had like, a guns N roses,
2226
00:48:36,250 --> 00:48:37,083
you know what I mean?
2227
00:48:37,083 --> 00:48:38,375
Or like. Yeah.
2228
00:48:38,375 --> 00:48:40,333
You know, the Nirvana,
2229
00:48:40,333 --> 00:48:42,083
like some type of, like, news
2230
00:48:42,083 --> 00:48:42,833
or like a Rage
2231
00:48:42,833 --> 00:48:44,333
Against the Machine,
2232
00:48:44,333 --> 00:48:44,916
you know,
2233
00:48:44,916 --> 00:48:45,916
like a new sound
2234
00:48:45,916 --> 00:48:47,500
at that time, you know?
2235
00:48:47,500 --> 00:48:49,791
And I mean,
2236
00:48:49,791 --> 00:48:51,291
where are we at now?
2237
00:48:51,291 --> 00:48:51,791
Do people
2238
00:48:51,791 --> 00:48:53,291
still make music out?
2239
00:48:53,291 --> 00:48:55,416
Is any of it good?
2240
00:48:55,416 --> 00:48:55,875
Are people
2241
00:48:55,875 --> 00:48:57,583
still playing music?
2242
00:48:57,583 --> 00:48:58,000
Yeah.
2243
00:48:58,000 --> 00:49:01,333
I, I think like it's
2244
00:49:01,916 --> 00:49:03,250
there are probably bands
2245
00:49:03,250 --> 00:49:04,625
that are as good
2246
00:49:04,625 --> 00:49:06,750
or even better than them.
2247
00:49:06,750 --> 00:49:08,500
What we grow up with,
2248
00:49:08,500 --> 00:49:10,083
all around the world,
2249
00:49:10,083 --> 00:49:11,083
it's just that it doesn't
2250
00:49:11,083 --> 00:49:12,250
get as much attention
2251
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:13,291
because it's not as
2252
00:49:13,291 --> 00:49:14,500
culturally relevant
2253
00:49:14,500 --> 00:49:16,291
as it was before
2254
00:49:16,291 --> 00:49:18,208
pre-Internet era,
2255
00:49:18,208 --> 00:49:19,791
because now the magic
2256
00:49:19,791 --> 00:49:21,083
is sort of gone with
2257
00:49:22,041 --> 00:49:23,625
with celebrity and
2258
00:49:23,625 --> 00:49:24,791
in general,
2259
00:49:24,791 --> 00:49:26,916
like there aren't any perks
2260
00:49:26,916 --> 00:49:28,625
to being famous anymore.
2261
00:49:28,625 --> 00:49:29,708
Like, in the same way
2262
00:49:29,708 --> 00:49:31,000
it's, it
2263
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,250
there used to be like.
2264
00:49:32,250 --> 00:49:33,666
And you didn't.
2265
00:49:33,666 --> 00:49:34,583
We don't put
2266
00:49:34,583 --> 00:49:36,125
people on pedestals as,
2267
00:49:36,125 --> 00:49:39,250
like the movie heroes and the
2268
00:49:39,250 --> 00:49:40,208
the rock
2269
00:49:40,208 --> 00:49:42,000
and pop heroes of the
2270
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:42,791
of the 80s.
2271
00:49:42,791 --> 00:49:43,875
I think the 80s
2272
00:49:43,875 --> 00:49:44,833
was sort of the peak
2273
00:49:44,833 --> 00:49:46,000
or early 90s
2274
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:47,125
where, where you had
2275
00:49:47,125 --> 00:49:47,625
phenomena
2276
00:49:47,625 --> 00:49:48,583
like Michael Jackson
2277
00:49:48,583 --> 00:49:50,291
and Madonna and Axl Rose
2278
00:49:50,291 --> 00:49:51,291
and people like that
2279
00:49:51,291 --> 00:49:52,000
who, like,
2280
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,125
were beyond famous.
2281
00:49:54,125 --> 00:49:56,000
They're like, next level.
2282
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:56,458
I don't think
2283
00:49:56,458 --> 00:49:58,125
we'll ever see people
2284
00:49:58,125 --> 00:49:59,416
of that magnitude,
2285
00:49:59,416 --> 00:50:00,791
of fame again,
2286
00:50:00,791 --> 00:50:02,125
like the Kardashians
2287
00:50:02,125 --> 00:50:03,250
can try and Lady
2288
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:04,125
Gaga can try,
2289
00:50:04,125 --> 00:50:05,166
but she's no Madonna
2290
00:50:05,166 --> 00:50:06,375
and she's no Michael Jackson.
2291
00:50:06,375 --> 00:50:07,333
Like,
2292
00:50:07,333 --> 00:50:08,166
the that's
2293
00:50:08,166 --> 00:50:08,916
there's just a
2294
00:50:08,916 --> 00:50:10,875
different level there.
2295
00:50:10,875 --> 00:50:13,541
And that's excellent talent,
2296
00:50:13,541 --> 00:50:14,333
you know what I mean?
2297
00:50:14,333 --> 00:50:16,125
But it's also talent.
2298
00:50:16,125 --> 00:50:16,708
Yeah.
2299
00:50:16,708 --> 00:50:17,833
Like a Kardashians
2300
00:50:17,833 --> 00:50:18,833
or a level of fame.
2301
00:50:18,833 --> 00:50:19,791
No, not right now.
2302
00:50:19,791 --> 00:50:20,666
It's a it's more
2303
00:50:20,666 --> 00:50:22,708
the talent is not the music.
2304
00:50:22,708 --> 00:50:23,666
The talent is,
2305
00:50:23,666 --> 00:50:25,041
managing
2306
00:50:25,041 --> 00:50:26,375
your social media accounts
2307
00:50:26,375 --> 00:50:28,125
like it's a different type of
2308
00:50:28,125 --> 00:50:29,916
talent, but it's it's not as
2309
00:50:31,250 --> 00:50:31,833
as pure.
2310
00:50:31,833 --> 00:50:32,875
It is as it used to be.
2311
00:50:32,875 --> 00:50:34,458
And there's an argument for,
2312
00:50:34,458 --> 00:50:35,375
like, going back
2313
00:50:35,375 --> 00:50:36,375
even further than that
2314
00:50:36,375 --> 00:50:36,875
and saying that
2315
00:50:36,875 --> 00:50:38,208
before the music video
2316
00:50:38,208 --> 00:50:38,750
that like,
2317
00:50:38,750 --> 00:50:40,333
real musicianship was,
2318
00:50:40,333 --> 00:50:42,166
was, rewarded
2319
00:50:42,166 --> 00:50:42,750
and not just
2320
00:50:42,750 --> 00:50:44,291
how you looked like
2321
00:50:44,291 --> 00:50:45,875
hair metal was a product
2322
00:50:45,875 --> 00:50:47,166
of the music video
2323
00:50:47,166 --> 00:50:48,250
being the
2324
00:50:48,250 --> 00:50:49,125
selling thing
2325
00:50:49,125 --> 00:50:50,583
and not the actual music,
2326
00:50:50,583 --> 00:50:51,750
I guess.
2327
00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:54,750
So,
2328
00:50:55,875 --> 00:50:57,041
what are your thoughts?
2329
00:50:57,041 --> 00:50:57,791
I mean,
2330
00:50:57,791 --> 00:50:58,750
the last time
2331
00:50:58,750 --> 00:50:59,666
that something
2332
00:50:59,666 --> 00:51:00,708
you heard something
2333
00:51:00,708 --> 00:51:01,333
and it was
2334
00:51:01,333 --> 00:51:02,541
and it was truly good.
2335
00:51:02,541 --> 00:51:04,416
And maybe there are fantasy
2336
00:51:04,416 --> 00:51:06,250
stick bands out there,
2337
00:51:06,250 --> 00:51:06,708
you know,
2338
00:51:06,708 --> 00:51:08,041
and every once in a while,
2339
00:51:08,041 --> 00:51:10,125
even in the past.
2340
00:51:10,125 --> 00:51:10,750
Well, okay,
2341
00:51:10,750 --> 00:51:11,708
so you look at
2342
00:51:11,708 --> 00:51:12,125
how much
2343
00:51:12,125 --> 00:51:13,750
amazing music happened
2344
00:51:13,750 --> 00:51:15,416
in the 40 years
2345
00:51:15,416 --> 00:51:18,791
of, you know, 1962,
2346
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,333
you know, 1969.
2347
00:51:22,333 --> 00:51:23,208
Yeah, or whatever.
2348
00:51:23,208 --> 00:51:24,041
And then you look at
2349
00:51:24,041 --> 00:51:25,083
what's happened from
2350
00:51:25,083 --> 00:51:28,375
then to now and, you know,
2351
00:51:28,833 --> 00:51:29,458
it's not that
2352
00:51:29,458 --> 00:51:31,000
we're living under a rock,
2353
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:31,791
you know, you
2354
00:51:31,791 --> 00:51:34,958
if there was a modern day,
2355
00:51:34,958 --> 00:51:36,208
Michael Jackson
2356
00:51:36,208 --> 00:51:38,333
or a modern day,
2357
00:51:38,333 --> 00:51:39,375
you know, U2
2358
00:51:39,375 --> 00:51:40,750
even or whatever,
2359
00:51:40,750 --> 00:51:42,583
it just doesn't seem like it
2360
00:51:42,583 --> 00:51:43,625
and like, you know,
2361
00:51:43,625 --> 00:51:45,041
like I loved the last Daft
2362
00:51:45,041 --> 00:51:46,125
Punk album, like,
2363
00:51:46,125 --> 00:51:47,166
if you know what I mean.
2364
00:51:47,166 --> 00:51:49,000
I think it came out in 2013.
2365
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:50,833
Random access memories,
2366
00:51:50,833 --> 00:51:51,333
you know? Yeah.
2367
00:51:51,333 --> 00:51:52,166
So this is like
2368
00:51:52,166 --> 00:51:54,000
still like really solid
2369
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:54,958
good music,
2370
00:51:54,958 --> 00:51:55,291
you know,
2371
00:51:55,291 --> 00:51:55,708
and it like,
2372
00:51:55,708 --> 00:51:57,583
finds its way in,
2373
00:51:57,583 --> 00:51:59,125
you know, or like,
2374
00:51:59,125 --> 00:52:00,708
I just can't think of,
2375
00:52:00,708 --> 00:52:02,875
like the last, like, amazing.
2376
00:52:02,875 --> 00:52:03,458
I mean, you're talking
2377
00:52:03,458 --> 00:52:04,333
like Dark Side of the moon.
2378
00:52:04,333 --> 00:52:05,375
Like, there isn't a bad
2379
00:52:06,375 --> 00:52:07,833
song on.
2380
00:52:07,833 --> 00:52:08,500
And any of
2381
00:52:08,500 --> 00:52:09,500
you know, this is a bad
2382
00:52:09,500 --> 00:52:11,166
microsecond on it.
2383
00:52:11,166 --> 00:52:12,666
Yeah, exactly.
2384
00:52:12,666 --> 00:52:14,541
Even when there's nothing.
2385
00:52:14,541 --> 00:52:15,833
Yeah, but, like,
2386
00:52:15,833 --> 00:52:17,750
you know what
2387
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:18,916
is it a cycle?
2388
00:52:18,916 --> 00:52:19,250
Is it
2389
00:52:19,250 --> 00:52:20,333
because everything is
2390
00:52:20,333 --> 00:52:22,416
so technology driven?
2391
00:52:22,416 --> 00:52:23,083
You know what I mean?
2392
00:52:23,083 --> 00:52:24,750
Like when you're forced to
2393
00:52:24,750 --> 00:52:26,250
or like a White Stripes,
2394
00:52:26,250 --> 00:52:26,708
you know, I mean,
2395
00:52:26,708 --> 00:52:27,500
when a white Stripes
2396
00:52:27,500 --> 00:52:28,250
came on the scene,
2397
00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:28,750
you know, it's like a
2398
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:30,125
two piece, you know.
2399
00:52:30,125 --> 00:52:31,625
Yeah, I love it. Yeah.
2400
00:52:31,625 --> 00:52:32,625
And that was never
2401
00:52:32,625 --> 00:52:33,458
about perfection.
2402
00:52:33,458 --> 00:52:35,708
It was about like, purity.
2403
00:52:35,708 --> 00:52:36,375
And,
2404
00:52:36,375 --> 00:52:37,583
that's why people loved it.
2405
00:52:37,583 --> 00:52:38,458
I guess.
2406
00:52:38,458 --> 00:52:38,958
And that, like,
2407
00:52:38,958 --> 00:52:39,916
he deliberately.
2408
00:52:39,916 --> 00:52:40,416
Jack white
2409
00:52:40,416 --> 00:52:42,208
deliberately limited himself
2410
00:52:42,208 --> 00:52:43,125
to like, okay, I'm
2411
00:52:43,125 --> 00:52:44,458
going to play the guitar.
2412
00:52:44,458 --> 00:52:45,541
I'm the keyboards
2413
00:52:45,541 --> 00:52:46,875
at the same time, like,
2414
00:52:46,875 --> 00:52:48,041
I have to.
2415
00:52:48,041 --> 00:52:49,541
And it's going to be hard.
2416
00:52:49,541 --> 00:52:50,041
I'm not going to
2417
00:52:50,041 --> 00:52:51,208
have even five
2418
00:52:51,208 --> 00:52:52,458
picks at the mic.
2419
00:52:52,458 --> 00:52:53,500
Then I'm going to have one.
2420
00:52:53,500 --> 00:52:54,916
And if I lose it, I'm fucked.
2421
00:52:54,916 --> 00:52:55,500
Like so.
2422
00:52:55,500 --> 00:52:56,375
Like he
2423
00:52:56,375 --> 00:52:57,041
he was all about
2424
00:52:57,041 --> 00:52:58,541
limiting himself
2425
00:52:58,541 --> 00:52:59,250
and I'm not going to have
2426
00:52:59,250 --> 00:53:00,041
a fancy drummer.
2427
00:53:00,041 --> 00:53:01,625
I'm going to have this
2428
00:53:01,625 --> 00:53:02,666
make character
2429
00:53:02,666 --> 00:53:03,416
who can
2430
00:53:03,416 --> 00:53:04,666
barely play drums,
2431
00:53:04,666 --> 00:53:05,833
but it's fucking perfect
2432
00:53:05,833 --> 00:53:06,791
for the for the thing.
2433
00:53:06,791 --> 00:53:08,125
So that's
2434
00:53:08,125 --> 00:53:09,333
it's an artistic choice.
2435
00:53:09,333 --> 00:53:09,666
I guess,
2436
00:53:09,666 --> 00:53:11,166
to limit yourselves and,
2437
00:53:11,166 --> 00:53:12,791
and I can identify with that.
2438
00:53:12,791 --> 00:53:14,291
Like if you're doing anything
2439
00:53:14,291 --> 00:53:15,041
creatively,
2440
00:53:15,041 --> 00:53:16,541
I think you have to
2441
00:53:16,541 --> 00:53:18,458
set boundaries for yourself.
2442
00:53:18,458 --> 00:53:19,333
Otherwise,
2443
00:53:19,333 --> 00:53:20,250
like you can drown
2444
00:53:20,250 --> 00:53:22,250
in the options you have.
2445
00:53:22,250 --> 00:53:24,000
And that's what's so it's
2446
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:24,791
what's so amazing
2447
00:53:24,791 --> 00:53:26,166
about the computer era, it's
2448
00:53:26,166 --> 00:53:26,666
that you have
2449
00:53:26,666 --> 00:53:27,791
all these options and like,
2450
00:53:27,791 --> 00:53:28,541
you can do anything
2451
00:53:28,541 --> 00:53:29,125
with your life,
2452
00:53:29,125 --> 00:53:30,166
but it's also what
2453
00:53:30,166 --> 00:53:31,750
what makes us
2454
00:53:31,750 --> 00:53:32,708
we're not forced
2455
00:53:32,708 --> 00:53:35,291
to pick one thing anymore.
2456
00:53:35,291 --> 00:53:35,666
So.
2457
00:53:35,666 --> 00:53:37,000
So therefore,
2458
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:38,333
no one gets super
2459
00:53:38,333 --> 00:53:39,458
good at this one thing
2460
00:53:39,458 --> 00:53:40,416
because they can always
2461
00:53:40,416 --> 00:53:40,791
choose to.
2462
00:53:40,791 --> 00:53:41,708
Now I'm bored with this.
2463
00:53:41,708 --> 00:53:43,125
I can go do this instead.
2464
00:53:43,125 --> 00:53:46,125
Like we're not, What?
2465
00:53:46,208 --> 00:53:46,750
When you didn't
2466
00:53:46,750 --> 00:53:47,416
have a computer,
2467
00:53:47,416 --> 00:53:48,583
you're forced to to,
2468
00:53:49,916 --> 00:53:51,333
And you had A.D.D..
2469
00:53:51,333 --> 00:53:51,583
You were
2470
00:53:51,583 --> 00:53:52,416
forced to practice
2471
00:53:52,416 --> 00:53:53,291
your guitar playing
2472
00:53:53,291 --> 00:53:54,041
every day, like,
2473
00:53:54,041 --> 00:53:54,833
for ten hours.
2474
00:53:54,833 --> 00:53:56,166
You weren't in the same way.
2475
00:53:56,166 --> 00:53:57,458
You're bored.
2476
00:53:57,458 --> 00:53:59,708
The same way you were before.
2477
00:53:59,708 --> 00:54:01,791
Before the internet.
2478
00:54:01,791 --> 00:54:02,458
And I think
2479
00:54:02,458 --> 00:54:03,416
a lot of creativity
2480
00:54:03,416 --> 00:54:04,583
is born out of boredom.
2481
00:54:04,583 --> 00:54:07,583
Like,
2482
00:54:08,166 --> 00:54:08,875
Yeah.
2483
00:54:08,875 --> 00:54:10,333
The difference
2484
00:54:10,333 --> 00:54:12,375
in between having the ability
2485
00:54:12,375 --> 00:54:14,041
to do everything
2486
00:54:14,041 --> 00:54:16,583
and being forced to,
2487
00:54:16,583 --> 00:54:20,291
with limited resources.
2488
00:54:20,833 --> 00:54:22,291
It's a weird place
2489
00:54:22,291 --> 00:54:23,625
that we're at right now.
2490
00:54:23,625 --> 00:54:24,666
Just it
2491
00:54:24,666 --> 00:54:26,208
it's humanity in anything
2492
00:54:26,208 --> 00:54:26,625
like I
2493
00:54:26,625 --> 00:54:27,583
no longer need
2494
00:54:27,583 --> 00:54:28,416
to know
2495
00:54:28,416 --> 00:54:30,750
anything about where I live
2496
00:54:30,750 --> 00:54:32,000
and like my brain
2497
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:32,958
because I can follow
2498
00:54:32,958 --> 00:54:34,958
the blue line in my car,
2499
00:54:34,958 --> 00:54:35,500
you know what I mean?
2500
00:54:35,500 --> 00:54:36,666
It'll just tell me where
2501
00:54:36,666 --> 00:54:37,333
I'm going.
2502
00:54:37,333 --> 00:54:37,875
You know what I mean?
2503
00:54:37,875 --> 00:54:39,500
It doesn't like breed,
2504
00:54:39,500 --> 00:54:40,958
intelligence.
2505
00:54:40,958 --> 00:54:41,416
And it's probably
2506
00:54:41,416 --> 00:54:42,666
not even good for,
2507
00:54:42,666 --> 00:54:43,000
you know,
2508
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:44,916
as a just as an exercise
2509
00:54:44,916 --> 00:54:45,583
like that,
2510
00:54:45,583 --> 00:54:46,958
that White Stripes album.
2511
00:54:46,958 --> 00:54:47,416
And, you know,
2512
00:54:47,416 --> 00:54:48,333
the big story was it?
2513
00:54:48,333 --> 00:54:50,916
I think the only page $16,000
2514
00:54:50,916 --> 00:54:51,958
to record that entire
2515
00:54:51,958 --> 00:54:52,666
first album, like,
2516
00:54:52,666 --> 00:54:54,666
they didn't spend much money,
2517
00:54:54,666 --> 00:54:55,000
you know,
2518
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:55,625
and then you look
2519
00:54:55,625 --> 00:54:57,041
at projects like,
2520
00:54:57,041 --> 00:54:57,791
you know, whatever,
2521
00:54:57,791 --> 00:54:58,625
Axl Rose's
2522
00:54:58,625 --> 00:54:59,833
Chinese Democracy,
2523
00:54:59,833 --> 00:55:01,333
it takes 30 years
2524
00:55:01,333 --> 00:55:01,875
and all this money
2525
00:55:01,875 --> 00:55:03,583
and it's terrible, you know?
2526
00:55:03,583 --> 00:55:04,458
And it's like when you
2527
00:55:04,458 --> 00:55:05,375
when you come out
2528
00:55:05,375 --> 00:55:06,833
with something that's,
2529
00:55:06,833 --> 00:55:07,875
you know,
2530
00:55:07,875 --> 00:55:09,916
the way more time has passed
2531
00:55:09,916 --> 00:55:11,291
since that came out
2532
00:55:11,291 --> 00:55:11,916
than did
2533
00:55:11,916 --> 00:55:13,125
between that,
2534
00:55:13,125 --> 00:55:14,708
that and the the
2535
00:55:14,708 --> 00:55:15,666
the previous guns
2536
00:55:15,666 --> 00:55:16,958
album, by the way,
2537
00:55:16,958 --> 00:55:18,416
which is interesting
2538
00:55:18,416 --> 00:55:19,708
about time like,
2539
00:55:22,625 --> 00:55:24,500
it's just.
2540
00:55:24,500 --> 00:55:25,166
Yeah, the thing
2541
00:55:25,166 --> 00:55:26,083
is but you can,
2542
00:55:26,083 --> 00:55:26,750
you can be an
2543
00:55:26,750 --> 00:55:27,791
old man about it
2544
00:55:27,791 --> 00:55:29,500
and start yelling at clouds,
2545
00:55:29,500 --> 00:55:30,291
you know, and
2546
00:55:30,291 --> 00:55:31,166
say that everything
2547
00:55:31,166 --> 00:55:31,875
was better,
2548
00:55:31,875 --> 00:55:33,375
in back in my day.
2549
00:55:33,375 --> 00:55:34,583
But I don't think
2550
00:55:34,583 --> 00:55:35,708
that's very productive.
2551
00:55:35,708 --> 00:55:36,708
You have to, like, roll
2552
00:55:36,708 --> 00:55:38,208
with the times and adapt.
2553
00:55:38,208 --> 00:55:39,666
Sometimes
2554
00:55:39,666 --> 00:55:41,333
it can be fun to be nostalgic
2555
00:55:41,333 --> 00:55:42,375
and look back at stuff,
2556
00:55:42,375 --> 00:55:43,958
and you can appreciate stuff
2557
00:55:43,958 --> 00:55:44,875
from other eras.
2558
00:55:44,875 --> 00:55:46,458
Of course, but.
2559
00:55:46,458 --> 00:55:48,416
But I don't think it's very,
2560
00:55:48,416 --> 00:55:50,833
a very productive or useful,
2561
00:55:50,833 --> 00:55:51,708
way to,
2562
00:55:51,708 --> 00:55:52,375
to spend
2563
00:55:52,375 --> 00:55:55,375
your days just wishing that
2564
00:55:55,416 --> 00:55:56,583
wishing the internet
2565
00:55:56,583 --> 00:55:58,500
away like that.
2566
00:55:58,500 --> 00:55:59,500
I think the,
2567
00:55:59,500 --> 00:56:01,583
the upsides clearly,
2568
00:56:01,583 --> 00:56:03,833
outweigh the downsides.
2569
00:56:03,833 --> 00:56:04,333
We wouldn't
2570
00:56:04,333 --> 00:56:04,958
be able to have
2571
00:56:04,958 --> 00:56:05,708
this conversation
2572
00:56:05,708 --> 00:56:06,750
if they didn't write,
2573
00:56:06,750 --> 00:56:07,541
you know.
2574
00:56:07,541 --> 00:56:08,291
Oh, for sure.
2575
00:56:08,291 --> 00:56:08,875
And you don't want
2576
00:56:08,875 --> 00:56:10,000
to wish it away,
2577
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,083
because there's,
2578
00:56:11,083 --> 00:56:12,583
like, endless good
2579
00:56:12,583 --> 00:56:14,291
also on the other side of it.
2580
00:56:14,291 --> 00:56:16,750
Right. Yeah.
2581
00:56:16,750 --> 00:56:19,750
So Comodo like, we we we,
2582
00:56:19,750 --> 00:56:21,708
we are perfect examples of,
2583
00:56:21,708 --> 00:56:22,875
you know,
2584
00:56:22,875 --> 00:56:23,708
so
2585
00:56:23,708 --> 00:56:25,458
I'm a semi crappy musician,
2586
00:56:25,458 --> 00:56:27,791
but I'm now, able
2587
00:56:27,791 --> 00:56:28,916
to travel the world
2588
00:56:28,916 --> 00:56:31,333
and play music for people
2589
00:56:31,333 --> 00:56:32,166
who like it
2590
00:56:32,166 --> 00:56:35,583
for some odd reason, without
2591
00:56:35,583 --> 00:56:37,416
without becoming a big
2592
00:56:37,416 --> 00:56:39,083
rock star before, like,
2593
00:56:39,083 --> 00:56:39,416
we could.
2594
00:56:39,416 --> 00:56:41,208
I can still it's like,
2595
00:56:41,208 --> 00:56:42,541
do the thing.
2596
00:56:42,541 --> 00:56:43,916
I do other things as well
2597
00:56:43,916 --> 00:56:45,708
and give talks at conferences
2598
00:56:45,708 --> 00:56:46,958
and sell books and stuff
2599
00:56:46,958 --> 00:56:47,833
and,
2600
00:56:47,833 --> 00:56:49,083
do this part
2601
00:56:49,083 --> 00:56:51,041
and managed to make a living
2602
00:56:51,041 --> 00:56:52,166
doing all those
2603
00:56:52,166 --> 00:56:53,458
all sorts of
2604
00:56:53,458 --> 00:56:54,916
things like these
2605
00:56:54,916 --> 00:56:57,250
and like the, the,
2606
00:56:57,250 --> 00:56:58,375
the whole rocket motor
2607
00:56:58,375 --> 00:56:59,791
thing is just a cherry on top
2608
00:56:59,791 --> 00:57:00,416
and it's, it's,
2609
00:57:00,416 --> 00:57:01,333
it's brilliant.
2610
00:57:01,333 --> 00:57:02,958
Like,
2611
00:57:02,958 --> 00:57:05,000
who knew like,
2612
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:05,833
I just find it
2613
00:57:05,833 --> 00:57:06,666
so fascinating.
2614
00:57:07,833 --> 00:57:08,708
Yeah.
2615
00:57:08,708 --> 00:57:11,375
Well, you know,
2616
00:57:11,375 --> 00:57:12,375
I really do hope
2617
00:57:12,375 --> 00:57:13,333
that it evolves
2618
00:57:13,333 --> 00:57:14,583
and it continues,
2619
00:57:14,583 --> 00:57:16,000
you know, to get better.
2620
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,333
And I have to tell you
2621
00:57:17,333 --> 00:57:17,708
that, like,
2622
00:57:17,708 --> 00:57:18,458
when you
2623
00:57:18,458 --> 00:57:20,833
like my entire life, can.
2624
00:57:20,833 --> 00:57:23,833
I mean, for, like,
2625
00:57:23,916 --> 00:57:26,291
I lived in a venue,
2626
00:57:26,291 --> 00:57:27,291
I lived there,
2627
00:57:27,291 --> 00:57:29,416
I lived in that place
2628
00:57:29,416 --> 00:57:31,458
with every possible scale of.
2629
00:57:31,458 --> 00:57:32,291
We're loading in
2630
00:57:32,291 --> 00:57:33,875
00 in the morning,
2631
00:57:33,875 --> 00:57:35,291
and they have two semis
2632
00:57:35,291 --> 00:57:37,000
in the whole production.
2633
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:38,041
And every person
2634
00:57:38,041 --> 00:57:39,500
that's on that tour
2635
00:57:39,500 --> 00:57:41,375
and every part of that day
2636
00:57:41,375 --> 00:57:43,333
that goes into
2637
00:57:43,333 --> 00:57:45,458
that whole process, right
2638
00:57:45,458 --> 00:57:45,666
there are
2639
00:57:45,666 --> 00:57:47,041
so there's so much
2640
00:57:47,041 --> 00:57:48,333
that goes into
2641
00:57:48,333 --> 00:57:49,666
building that day to where
2642
00:57:49,666 --> 00:57:50,500
when you walk in
2643
00:57:50,500 --> 00:57:51,041
with your ticket
2644
00:57:51,041 --> 00:57:51,708
stub and like,
2645
00:57:51,708 --> 00:57:53,708
all of that shit is there,
2646
00:57:53,708 --> 00:57:54,000
you know,
2647
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:54,666
not just for our
2648
00:57:54,666 --> 00:57:55,416
little fun thing,
2649
00:57:55,416 --> 00:57:55,833
but like,
2650
00:57:55,833 --> 00:57:56,916
I feel
2651
00:57:56,916 --> 00:57:58,875
I feel very at home there.
2652
00:57:58,875 --> 00:58:00,458
Like, I know how that works.
2653
00:58:00,458 --> 00:58:01,250
Like I used to do
2654
00:58:01,250 --> 00:58:02,375
sound, you know,
2655
00:58:02,375 --> 00:58:04,333
I can mix in a pinch.
2656
00:58:04,333 --> 00:58:05,541
Or light.
2657
00:58:05,541 --> 00:58:06,583
I was a professional
2658
00:58:06,583 --> 00:58:07,458
lighting engineer,
2659
00:58:07,458 --> 00:58:07,625
you know,
2660
00:58:07,625 --> 00:58:09,416
I even did, like, a DVD,
2661
00:58:09,416 --> 00:58:10,541
that came out like,
2662
00:58:10,541 --> 00:58:11,958
I love lights, you know?
2663
00:58:11,958 --> 00:58:13,125
And I love making the shit
2664
00:58:13,125 --> 00:58:13,958
look good.
2665
00:58:13,958 --> 00:58:16,708
And I just feel very good
2666
00:58:16,708 --> 00:58:17,458
doing that
2667
00:58:17,458 --> 00:58:18,375
because I did it
2668
00:58:18,375 --> 00:58:20,166
for such a long time,
2669
00:58:20,166 --> 00:58:21,041
you know?
2670
00:58:21,041 --> 00:58:22,000
And, you know,
2671
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,000
when you do something
2672
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:24,791
like you feel good on stage,
2673
00:58:24,791 --> 00:58:26,291
you feel good playing
2674
00:58:26,291 --> 00:58:27,625
because you were in bands
2675
00:58:27,625 --> 00:58:28,666
and you played in basements
2676
00:58:28,666 --> 00:58:29,375
and you practiced
2677
00:58:29,375 --> 00:58:29,875
and rehearsed
2678
00:58:29,875 --> 00:58:31,541
and did all this fun shit,
2679
00:58:31,541 --> 00:58:31,875
you know,
2680
00:58:31,875 --> 00:58:32,208
you know,
2681
00:58:32,208 --> 00:58:32,875
when you feel
2682
00:58:32,875 --> 00:58:35,000
good doing that.
2683
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:35,708
No, this is
2684
00:58:35,708 --> 00:58:36,833
this is what it's all.
2685
00:58:36,833 --> 00:58:37,625
I love that
2686
00:58:37,625 --> 00:58:38,708
you put it this way
2687
00:58:38,708 --> 00:58:39,833
because like, this is what
2688
00:58:40,833 --> 00:58:41,791
Bitcoin and
2689
00:58:41,791 --> 00:58:42,666
then this community
2690
00:58:42,666 --> 00:58:43,333
allows for it.
2691
00:58:43,333 --> 00:58:45,166
All of a sudden you you
2692
00:58:45,166 --> 00:58:46,125
you have a use
2693
00:58:46,125 --> 00:58:46,875
for all of these
2694
00:58:46,875 --> 00:58:47,958
useless skills
2695
00:58:47,958 --> 00:58:48,291
that you
2696
00:58:48,291 --> 00:58:49,458
built up over the years.
2697
00:58:49,458 --> 00:58:51,958
You know.
2698
00:58:51,958 --> 00:58:52,875
And and it's not
2699
00:58:52,875 --> 00:58:53,541
only the,
2700
00:58:53,541 --> 00:58:54,583
the the music,
2701
00:58:54,583 --> 00:58:55,750
the like other shit
2702
00:58:55,750 --> 00:58:57,125
like my scribblings like,
2703
00:58:57,125 --> 00:58:58,208
I think I
2704
00:58:58,208 --> 00:58:59,708
probably like writing
2705
00:58:59,708 --> 00:59:01,791
because I wrote music, lyrics
2706
00:59:01,791 --> 00:59:02,500
like for,
2707
00:59:02,500 --> 00:59:03,291
for the longest song
2708
00:59:03,291 --> 00:59:04,750
lyrics for the longest time
2709
00:59:04,750 --> 00:59:06,916
like that, that has,
2710
00:59:06,916 --> 00:59:07,958
played a huge part
2711
00:59:07,958 --> 00:59:09,166
in why I started
2712
00:59:09,166 --> 00:59:10,375
writing books later on.
2713
00:59:10,375 --> 00:59:11,208
Like the book
2714
00:59:11,208 --> 00:59:13,125
sort of took over from the
2715
00:59:13,125 --> 00:59:13,791
from the music
2716
00:59:13,791 --> 00:59:14,625
when I stopped
2717
00:59:14,625 --> 00:59:15,583
playing in the band
2718
00:59:15,583 --> 00:59:16,708
and like, stopped
2719
00:59:16,708 --> 00:59:18,166
that whole trying,
2720
00:59:18,166 --> 00:59:19,083
trying so hard
2721
00:59:19,083 --> 00:59:20,500
career like, then,
2722
00:59:20,500 --> 00:59:22,125
something had
2723
00:59:22,125 --> 00:59:23,083
something had to give
2724
00:59:23,083 --> 00:59:24,125
and something had to,
2725
00:59:24,125 --> 00:59:25,875
to take from what gave like
2726
00:59:25,875 --> 00:59:27,833
and the writing became
2727
00:59:27,833 --> 00:59:29,916
became my new creative outlet
2728
00:59:29,916 --> 00:59:32,083
and so so but
2729
00:59:32,083 --> 00:59:33,083
it's through
2730
00:59:33,083 --> 00:59:34,625
writing song lyrics that I
2731
00:59:36,166 --> 00:59:37,375
developed this
2732
00:59:37,375 --> 00:59:39,000
fascination for,
2733
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:40,875
for playing around with words
2734
00:59:40,875 --> 00:59:43,083
and, you know,
2735
00:59:43,083 --> 00:59:43,875
words have double
2736
00:59:43,875 --> 00:59:46,000
meanings and,
2737
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:46,625
you can,
2738
00:59:46,625 --> 00:59:48,708
you can do stuff with them.
2739
00:59:48,708 --> 00:59:49,750
So, so
2740
00:59:49,750 --> 00:59:50,791
and I think this is true
2741
00:59:50,791 --> 00:59:51,875
for many Bitcoiners
2742
00:59:51,875 --> 00:59:54,541
that they find a way to,
2743
00:59:54,541 --> 00:59:56,625
to utilize their passions
2744
00:59:56,625 --> 00:59:59,083
and utilize their hidden
2745
00:59:59,083 --> 01:00:00,416
abilities,
2746
01:00:00,416 --> 01:00:02,291
to do something
2747
01:00:02,291 --> 01:00:03,333
in the Bitcoin space.
2748
01:00:03,333 --> 01:00:05,083
And it just it's
2749
01:00:05,083 --> 01:00:07,083
just like all the pieces,
2750
01:00:07,083 --> 01:00:07,875
you know, jigsaw
2751
01:00:07,875 --> 01:00:08,833
falling into place.
2752
01:00:08,833 --> 01:00:09,500
One one of my
2753
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:10,250
favorite Radiohead
2754
01:00:10,250 --> 01:00:11,333
songs, by the way.
2755
01:00:11,333 --> 01:00:11,875
But that's what
2756
01:00:11,875 --> 01:00:12,583
it feels like.
2757
01:00:12,583 --> 01:00:15,041
It's, Yeah.
2758
01:00:15,041 --> 01:00:16,333
What are your thoughts?
2759
01:00:16,333 --> 01:00:17,625
Everyone's got a part.
2760
01:00:17,625 --> 01:00:19,250
A part to play.
2761
01:00:19,250 --> 01:00:19,541
Yeah.
2762
01:00:19,541 --> 01:00:22,750
So I, I want to ask you
2763
01:00:22,750 --> 01:00:25,208
a question, about
2764
01:00:25,208 --> 01:00:26,583
whether the
2765
01:00:26,583 --> 01:00:28,541
greatest of all time
2766
01:00:28,541 --> 01:00:31,000
sort of stuff is
2767
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,708
will be timeless
2768
01:00:32,708 --> 01:00:34,375
and live forever.
2769
01:00:34,375 --> 01:00:37,375
Do you think that those
2770
01:00:37,666 --> 01:00:38,500
that everything
2771
01:00:38,500 --> 01:00:40,166
that we look at is, you know,
2772
01:00:40,166 --> 01:00:41,125
the greatest band?
2773
01:00:41,125 --> 01:00:41,541
By the way,
2774
01:00:41,541 --> 01:00:42,125
I didn't get your
2775
01:00:42,125 --> 01:00:42,833
three artists
2776
01:00:42,833 --> 01:00:43,500
that you would want on.
2777
01:00:43,500 --> 01:00:44,583
Oh, yeah.
2778
01:00:44,583 --> 01:00:45,791
But but, you know,
2779
01:00:45,791 --> 01:00:46,375
is this going
2780
01:00:46,375 --> 01:00:47,208
to be around it?
2781
01:00:47,208 --> 01:00:49,875
Does it does it yours either.
2782
01:00:49,875 --> 01:00:50,500
Like, I'm,
2783
01:00:50,500 --> 01:00:51,958
I'm trying to interview you,
2784
01:00:51,958 --> 01:00:53,625
but you end up interviewing
2785
01:00:53,625 --> 01:00:55,208
me instead. Well, okay,
2786
01:00:56,375 --> 01:00:57,291
which question
2787
01:00:57,291 --> 01:00:59,666
does a 22 year old kid ever
2788
01:00:59,666 --> 01:01:00,875
go through that phase
2789
01:01:00,875 --> 01:01:02,166
where they discover
2790
01:01:02,166 --> 01:01:03,833
the Beatles and Zeppelin,
2791
01:01:03,833 --> 01:01:04,583
and really does
2792
01:01:04,583 --> 01:01:05,833
that live on in
2793
01:01:05,833 --> 01:01:07,541
a, in a sort of a future
2794
01:01:07,541 --> 01:01:08,833
where people are maybe
2795
01:01:08,833 --> 01:01:10,708
short on attention spans
2796
01:01:10,708 --> 01:01:11,333
and we're living
2797
01:01:11,333 --> 01:01:12,541
in another world,
2798
01:01:12,541 --> 01:01:13,541
or do these things
2799
01:01:13,541 --> 01:01:15,250
sort of die away, you know?
2800
01:01:15,250 --> 01:01:16,500
I mean, I,
2801
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:19,500
personally, I love to find
2802
01:01:19,625 --> 01:01:20,791
things that I don't know
2803
01:01:20,791 --> 01:01:21,125
of, right?
2804
01:01:21,125 --> 01:01:22,416
Calypso music
2805
01:01:22,416 --> 01:01:24,125
classics, you know, old songs
2806
01:01:24,125 --> 01:01:26,083
in the 40s, in the 30s.
2807
01:01:26,083 --> 01:01:26,291
You know,
2808
01:01:26,291 --> 01:01:27,375
there's a lot of like,
2809
01:01:27,375 --> 01:01:28,125
you know, little,
2810
01:01:28,125 --> 01:01:28,958
little jazz thing.
2811
01:01:28,958 --> 01:01:30,125
And I start to build
2812
01:01:30,125 --> 01:01:31,291
my own things
2813
01:01:31,291 --> 01:01:32,500
that I'd never discovered.
2814
01:01:32,500 --> 01:01:33,625
Right? Yeah, yeah.
2815
01:01:33,625 --> 01:01:34,875
You know, for Dollywood
2816
01:01:34,875 --> 01:01:36,416
classics or Weird Little,
2817
01:01:36,416 --> 01:01:37,250
which
2818
01:01:37,250 --> 01:01:37,750
wasn't that
2819
01:01:37,750 --> 01:01:39,041
fantastic in Medellin
2820
01:01:39,041 --> 01:01:40,291
when you just took an Uber
2821
01:01:40,291 --> 01:01:41,125
somewhere in the
2822
01:01:41,125 --> 01:01:42,500
the soundtrack to Medellin
2823
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:43,333
was just great.
2824
01:01:43,333 --> 01:01:44,291
It was everywhere,
2825
01:01:44,291 --> 01:01:45,875
like calypso music
2826
01:01:45,875 --> 01:01:46,750
and South American
2827
01:01:46,750 --> 01:01:47,541
music, like,
2828
01:01:48,916 --> 01:01:49,666
it was just,
2829
01:01:49,666 --> 01:01:51,583
it was just pitch perfect.
2830
01:01:51,583 --> 01:01:52,500
And I just loved it.
2831
01:01:52,500 --> 01:01:53,875
All of it.
2832
01:01:53,875 --> 01:01:56,000
That's one of the fun things
2833
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:56,833
about traveling.
2834
01:01:56,833 --> 01:01:58,208
Like, I have this playlist.
2835
01:01:58,208 --> 01:01:59,041
I'll share it with you.
2836
01:01:59,041 --> 01:02:00,250
It's a very long break,
2837
01:02:00,250 --> 01:02:01,125
and it's all timeless
2838
01:02:01,125 --> 01:02:01,958
classics.
2839
01:02:01,958 --> 01:02:03,458
And just, you know, there's
2840
01:02:03,458 --> 01:02:03,958
no there's
2841
01:02:03,958 --> 01:02:05,250
no garbage on there.
2842
01:02:05,250 --> 01:02:05,833
But we call it
2843
01:02:05,833 --> 01:02:06,791
our family playlist,
2844
01:02:06,791 --> 01:02:08,291
and you end up in Colombia,
2845
01:02:08,291 --> 01:02:09,041
or you're traveling
2846
01:02:09,041 --> 01:02:10,208
for whatever reason,
2847
01:02:10,208 --> 01:02:11,333
and you hear that song
2848
01:02:11,333 --> 01:02:11,958
and so many times
2849
01:02:11,958 --> 01:02:12,791
it's like, oh, whatever
2850
01:02:12,791 --> 01:02:13,750
this is,
2851
01:02:13,750 --> 01:02:14,958
you know, and you save it
2852
01:02:14,958 --> 01:02:15,958
and you add it to the list
2853
01:02:15,958 --> 01:02:16,833
and that comes on,
2854
01:02:16,833 --> 01:02:17,708
and it's some weird
2855
01:02:17,708 --> 01:02:18,666
Russian song
2856
01:02:18,666 --> 01:02:19,833
that we heard somewhere,
2857
01:02:19,833 --> 01:02:21,250
God knows where or whatever.
2858
01:02:21,250 --> 01:02:22,250
But it's like just good
2859
01:02:22,250 --> 01:02:23,500
music and like,
2860
01:02:23,500 --> 01:02:23,916
you know,
2861
01:02:23,916 --> 01:02:25,458
I maybe stumble on that,
2862
01:02:25,458 --> 01:02:26,291
but like, do,
2863
01:02:26,291 --> 01:02:26,875
do other
2864
01:02:26,875 --> 01:02:28,250
people are the classics
2865
01:02:28,250 --> 01:02:30,125
going to live on forever?
2866
01:02:30,125 --> 01:02:32,625
I think I think so,
2867
01:02:32,625 --> 01:02:34,875
it might be more French.
2868
01:02:34,875 --> 01:02:35,958
It might be more,
2869
01:02:35,958 --> 01:02:38,583
for the few them for that,
2870
01:02:38,583 --> 01:02:39,791
like,
2871
01:02:39,791 --> 01:02:40,750
not as popular
2872
01:02:40,750 --> 01:02:41,625
as before, but
2873
01:02:41,625 --> 01:02:42,875
but there will be nerds
2874
01:02:42,875 --> 01:02:43,416
who have their
2875
01:02:43,416 --> 01:02:45,250
Beatles periods and they're,
2876
01:02:45,250 --> 01:02:46,958
you know, Stravinsky periods
2877
01:02:46,958 --> 01:02:48,125
or their Zeppelin
2878
01:02:48,125 --> 01:02:49,583
periods or their,
2879
01:02:49,583 --> 01:02:51,666
Zappa periods, for instance.
2880
01:02:51,666 --> 01:02:52,833
I love Frank Zappa, by
2881
01:02:52,833 --> 01:02:54,041
the way. And I found, like,
2882
01:02:55,416 --> 01:02:56,500
befriended this guy
2883
01:02:56,500 --> 01:02:58,166
in, El Salvador,
2884
01:02:58,166 --> 01:02:59,541
in a village
2885
01:02:59,541 --> 01:03:02,208
next to El Santa who's,
2886
01:03:02,208 --> 01:03:03,000
an American guy
2887
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,750
who really loves Frank Zappa.
2888
01:03:04,750 --> 01:03:06,250
We could recite lyrics.
2889
01:03:06,250 --> 01:03:07,333
We knew the lyrics
2890
01:03:07,333 --> 01:03:08,333
to all of these
2891
01:03:08,333 --> 01:03:09,583
deep cut songs
2892
01:03:09,583 --> 01:03:10,291
that nobody other.
2893
01:03:10,291 --> 01:03:10,916
Everyone else
2894
01:03:10,916 --> 01:03:11,666
was looking at us
2895
01:03:11,666 --> 01:03:13,458
like we were absolute idiots.
2896
01:03:13,458 --> 01:03:14,625
Like, because we are
2897
01:03:14,625 --> 01:03:15,916
and we just love.
2898
01:03:15,916 --> 01:03:16,833
I had back
2899
01:03:16,833 --> 01:03:18,166
when I was in my 20s,
2900
01:03:18,166 --> 01:03:18,708
I collected
2901
01:03:18,708 --> 01:03:19,458
Zappa albums,
2902
01:03:19,458 --> 01:03:21,625
so I had like around 50
2903
01:03:21,625 --> 01:03:22,750
Frank Zappa CD's.
2904
01:03:22,750 --> 01:03:24,166
I wanted to like deep dive
2905
01:03:24,166 --> 01:03:25,375
into everything he did
2906
01:03:25,375 --> 01:03:26,625
and like figure it out
2907
01:03:26,625 --> 01:03:27,958
because it was so complex.
2908
01:03:27,958 --> 01:03:29,166
And there's so much
2909
01:03:29,166 --> 01:03:30,791
it's such a treasure trove
2910
01:03:30,791 --> 01:03:32,208
once you find it.
2911
01:03:32,208 --> 01:03:33,208
And this goes for like,
2912
01:03:33,208 --> 01:03:34,291
I've had several
2913
01:03:34,291 --> 01:03:35,416
Beatles periods
2914
01:03:35,416 --> 01:03:36,375
during my life,
2915
01:03:36,375 --> 01:03:37,000
and I think
2916
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:37,958
people in the future
2917
01:03:37,958 --> 01:03:39,375
will have those to like
2918
01:03:39,375 --> 01:03:40,625
because there's
2919
01:03:40,625 --> 01:03:42,125
there's so many aspects
2920
01:03:42,125 --> 01:03:45,125
of that band to to this.
2921
01:03:45,125 --> 01:03:45,958
It's such a,
2922
01:03:45,958 --> 01:03:47,500
a world in itself.
2923
01:03:47,500 --> 01:03:48,125
And their,
2924
01:03:48,125 --> 01:03:49,541
their entire career
2925
01:03:49,541 --> 01:03:51,458
spanned seven years.
2926
01:03:51,458 --> 01:03:52,208
I can't
2927
01:03:52,208 --> 01:03:53,166
I can't
2928
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:54,083
wrap my head around
2929
01:03:54,083 --> 01:03:55,333
how cool that is.
2930
01:03:55,333 --> 01:03:56,291
And if you look at the
2931
01:03:56,291 --> 01:03:57,166
the Get Back
2932
01:03:57,166 --> 01:03:58,500
documentary that they made
2933
01:03:58,500 --> 01:03:58,958
with,
2934
01:03:58,958 --> 01:03:59,375
the Peter
2935
01:03:59,375 --> 01:04:00,625
Jackson made with, like,
2936
01:04:00,625 --> 01:04:01,500
when they have restored
2937
01:04:01,500 --> 01:04:02,291
the old footage
2938
01:04:02,291 --> 01:04:03,041
and separated
2939
01:04:03,041 --> 01:04:04,000
the tracks and everything,
2940
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:04,625
so you can hear what
2941
01:04:04,625 --> 01:04:06,500
people are saying there.
2942
01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:07,416
It's like the opposite
2943
01:04:07,416 --> 01:04:08,125
of proof of work.
2944
01:04:08,125 --> 01:04:09,250
It's proof of
2945
01:04:09,250 --> 01:04:10,708
just goofing around.
2946
01:04:10,708 --> 01:04:11,708
They're just playing.
2947
01:04:11,708 --> 01:04:12,625
They're just like,
2948
01:04:12,625 --> 01:04:14,125
fiddling around and
2949
01:04:14,125 --> 01:04:14,958
but they're in there
2950
01:04:14,958 --> 01:04:15,666
doing the.
2951
01:04:15,666 --> 01:04:16,875
In a way, it's proof of work
2952
01:04:16,875 --> 01:04:18,083
because they're sitting there
2953
01:04:18,083 --> 01:04:19,291
playing at all times.
2954
01:04:19,291 --> 01:04:21,041
But the but it's all
2955
01:04:21,041 --> 01:04:22,291
it's all enjoyable
2956
01:04:22,291 --> 01:04:23,333
and it's all
2957
01:04:23,333 --> 01:04:25,875
none of it is like hard work.
2958
01:04:25,875 --> 01:04:27,375
It seems everything.
2959
01:04:27,375 --> 01:04:28,625
It's just, I'm here,
2960
01:04:28,625 --> 01:04:29,625
I want to do this
2961
01:04:29,625 --> 01:04:30,958
and I'm going to do it.
2962
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,375
They managed to
2963
01:04:33,375 --> 01:04:34,625
have a fantastic career
2964
01:04:34,625 --> 01:04:35,416
doing exactly
2965
01:04:35,416 --> 01:04:36,125
what they wanted.
2966
01:04:36,125 --> 01:04:37,000
So I,
2967
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,333
and I think Beatles is like,
2968
01:04:39,333 --> 01:04:40,333
there's so much
2969
01:04:40,333 --> 01:04:41,000
to find there.
2970
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,708
And even like,
2971
01:04:42,708 --> 01:04:44,750
Post-beatles era,
2972
01:04:44,750 --> 01:04:46,375
John Paul
2973
01:04:46,375 --> 01:04:47,625
and and George
2974
01:04:47,625 --> 01:04:48,250
in particular.
2975
01:04:48,250 --> 01:04:49,000
Maybe not Ringo
2976
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:50,416
that much, but but John,
2977
01:04:50,416 --> 01:04:52,375
Paul and George are are there
2978
01:04:52,375 --> 01:04:53,000
there are other
2979
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,875
albums are also worth
2980
01:04:54,875 --> 01:04:56,833
worth a lesson or two.
2981
01:04:56,833 --> 01:04:59,666
And like trying to discover.
2982
01:04:59,666 --> 01:05:01,208
Yeah.
2983
01:05:01,208 --> 01:05:01,666
I don't know.
2984
01:05:01,666 --> 01:05:04,000
I'm a music fan, you know.
2985
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:05,500
So and I know you were to
2986
01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:06,500
the proof of work for
2987
01:05:06,500 --> 01:05:07,166
the Beatles
2988
01:05:07,166 --> 01:05:08,875
was going to Hamburg
2989
01:05:08,875 --> 01:05:09,375
and playing
2990
01:05:09,375 --> 01:05:10,666
14 hours a day
2991
01:05:10,666 --> 01:05:12,666
that that was probably,
2992
01:05:12,666 --> 01:05:13,458
you know, that
2993
01:05:13,458 --> 01:05:16,458
probably got them absolutely.
2994
01:05:17,166 --> 01:05:17,916
And and George
2995
01:05:17,916 --> 01:05:19,083
Harrison was 17
2996
01:05:19,083 --> 01:05:20,291
when they started doing that.
2997
01:05:20,291 --> 01:05:22,875
Like he was super young.
2998
01:05:23,916 --> 01:05:24,583
And they were
2999
01:05:24,583 --> 01:05:25,333
they were kids
3000
01:05:25,333 --> 01:05:27,083
just goofing around.
3001
01:05:27,083 --> 01:05:28,375
But over such a short
3002
01:05:28,375 --> 01:05:29,958
period of time,
3003
01:05:29,958 --> 01:05:30,666
that's insane.
3004
01:05:30,666 --> 01:05:32,000
Much
3005
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,125
like four movies
3006
01:05:33,125 --> 01:05:34,583
and the 11 albums
3007
01:05:34,583 --> 01:05:35,458
or whatever it is.
3008
01:05:35,458 --> 01:05:36,083
I don't know
3009
01:05:36,083 --> 01:05:37,458
the exact numbers, but,
3010
01:05:37,458 --> 01:05:39,708
how many top hits like
3011
01:05:39,708 --> 01:05:40,708
endless?
3012
01:05:40,708 --> 01:05:42,791
It's just amazing.
3013
01:05:42,791 --> 01:05:44,083
And and you know what?
3014
01:05:44,083 --> 01:05:45,083
I love about that?
3015
01:05:45,083 --> 01:05:45,666
And I don't know
3016
01:05:45,666 --> 01:05:46,333
if it's like this
3017
01:05:46,333 --> 01:05:47,083
for everyone,
3018
01:05:47,083 --> 01:05:48,916
but the B-sides
3019
01:05:48,916 --> 01:05:50,291
and the things that never
3020
01:05:50,291 --> 01:05:51,666
got released,
3021
01:05:51,666 --> 01:05:53,750
especially with Bob Dylan,
3022
01:05:53,750 --> 01:05:55,375
and the Beatles.
3023
01:05:55,375 --> 01:05:57,041
For me, Purple Rain,
3024
01:05:57,041 --> 01:06:00,041
rain, rain was a B-side,
3025
01:06:00,166 --> 01:06:01,458
can you imagine?
3026
01:06:01,458 --> 01:06:02,625
But like when you listen
3027
01:06:02,625 --> 01:06:04,250
to the The anthology
3028
01:06:04,250 --> 01:06:04,958
or the
3029
01:06:04,958 --> 01:06:05,875
The Beat album,
3030
01:06:05,875 --> 01:06:07,208
the have you ever heard
3031
01:06:07,208 --> 01:06:08,291
the Esther Demos,
3032
01:06:08,291 --> 01:06:09,041
which is the White
3033
01:06:09,041 --> 01:06:10,708
Album demos?
3034
01:06:10,708 --> 01:06:12,041
Where it's them
3035
01:06:12,041 --> 01:06:13,000
with a four track.
3036
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:14,500
They were with Maharishi,
3037
01:06:14,500 --> 01:06:15,583
you know. Oh, yeah.
3038
01:06:16,541 --> 01:06:17,833
But you know, you can hear
3039
01:06:17,833 --> 01:06:19,791
just on a four track guitar,
3040
01:06:19,791 --> 01:06:22,416
you know, flew in from Miami
3041
01:06:22,416 --> 01:06:22,916
and it's like a
3042
01:06:22,916 --> 01:06:23,916
different tempo.
3043
01:06:23,916 --> 01:06:24,666
And it's like,
3044
01:06:24,666 --> 01:06:25,791
I just love listening
3045
01:06:25,791 --> 01:06:26,625
to the demos.
3046
01:06:26,625 --> 01:06:27,708
Like the demo
3047
01:06:27,708 --> 01:06:29,583
for Dear Prudence is like,
3048
01:06:29,583 --> 01:06:31,125
you know, insanely good.
3049
01:06:31,125 --> 01:06:32,375
And it's like super low
3050
01:06:32,375 --> 01:06:33,416
fi and it's not
3051
01:06:33,416 --> 01:06:34,916
and wasn't meant to come out.
3052
01:06:34,916 --> 01:06:36,125
But I think that it's
3053
01:06:36,125 --> 01:06:37,083
really interesting
3054
01:06:37,083 --> 01:06:37,875
that over time,
3055
01:06:37,875 --> 01:06:38,833
with your favorites,
3056
01:06:38,833 --> 01:06:39,875
some of your favorite things
3057
01:06:39,875 --> 01:06:41,041
to listen to weren't
3058
01:06:41,041 --> 01:06:42,875
even the final products,
3059
01:06:42,875 --> 01:06:44,041
you know, I mean, it
3060
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:45,458
just so
3061
01:06:45,458 --> 01:06:48,708
and, and the, that,
3062
01:06:49,500 --> 01:06:51,666
that were those on the,
3063
01:06:51,666 --> 01:06:54,250
one of the anthology albums.
3064
01:06:54,250 --> 01:06:54,541
Yeah,
3065
01:06:54,541 --> 01:06:56,250
there were a few on there.
3066
01:06:56,250 --> 01:06:56,666
Yeah.
3067
01:06:56,666 --> 01:06:58,333
Because I released
3068
01:06:58,333 --> 01:06:59,500
for the White Album.
3069
01:06:59,500 --> 01:07:00,041
You can
3070
01:07:00,041 --> 01:07:00,500
you can listen
3071
01:07:00,500 --> 01:07:02,541
to the whole thing, though.
3072
01:07:02,541 --> 01:07:03,750
Yeah.
3073
01:07:03,750 --> 01:07:04,166
Yeah, that's
3074
01:07:04,166 --> 01:07:04,916
super interesting.
3075
01:07:04,916 --> 01:07:05,500
That's, that's
3076
01:07:05,500 --> 01:07:07,125
like my favorite metallic
3077
01:07:07,125 --> 01:07:09,250
album is And Justice for All.
3078
01:07:09,250 --> 01:07:10,333
And there's the like,
3079
01:07:10,333 --> 01:07:11,833
there's,
3080
01:07:11,833 --> 01:07:13,333
some recording of, like,
3081
01:07:13,333 --> 01:07:14,541
when they have the riffs
3082
01:07:14,541 --> 01:07:15,625
and it's just them
3083
01:07:15,625 --> 01:07:16,375
sending riffs,
3084
01:07:16,375 --> 01:07:17,625
demo tapes of riffs
3085
01:07:17,625 --> 01:07:18,833
to one another,
3086
01:07:18,833 --> 01:07:20,375
and it's so beautiful, like,
3087
01:07:20,375 --> 01:07:22,125
these are,
3088
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:23,291
still to this day,
3089
01:07:23,291 --> 01:07:23,833
I think that
3090
01:07:23,833 --> 01:07:25,125
that's their most progressive
3091
01:07:25,125 --> 01:07:26,416
and that's their most
3092
01:07:26,416 --> 01:07:27,541
aggressive album.
3093
01:07:27,541 --> 01:07:29,041
And I absolutely love it.
3094
01:07:29,041 --> 01:07:29,500
I mean,
3095
01:07:29,500 --> 01:07:30,875
imagine these four guys,
3096
01:07:30,875 --> 01:07:32,333
they're also in their
3097
01:07:32,333 --> 01:07:33,125
early 20s
3098
01:07:33,125 --> 01:07:33,750
and their friend
3099
01:07:33,750 --> 01:07:35,916
has just died in a bus crash.
3100
01:07:35,916 --> 01:07:36,583
And,
3101
01:07:36,583 --> 01:07:38,375
and they're fucking angry.
3102
01:07:38,375 --> 01:07:38,916
And,
3103
01:07:38,916 --> 01:07:39,708
James has
3104
01:07:39,708 --> 01:07:41,125
had a, his rough childhood
3105
01:07:41,125 --> 01:07:41,583
and everything
3106
01:07:41,583 --> 01:07:42,375
and everything.
3107
01:07:42,375 --> 01:07:43,291
It's just poured out
3108
01:07:43,291 --> 01:07:43,958
on that album,
3109
01:07:43,958 --> 01:07:45,625
and it's such a,
3110
01:07:45,625 --> 01:07:47,375
pitch perfect thing.
3111
01:07:48,625 --> 01:07:49,083
Yeah.
3112
01:07:49,083 --> 01:07:51,041
That's another
3113
01:07:51,041 --> 01:07:52,041
one of my favorite albums,
3114
01:07:52,041 --> 01:07:52,416
by the way,
3115
01:07:52,416 --> 01:07:53,583
and justice for all.
3116
01:07:53,583 --> 01:07:54,875
And there are like,
3117
01:07:54,875 --> 01:07:55,666
it's legendary
3118
01:07:55,666 --> 01:07:56,958
because they they, the,
3119
01:07:56,958 --> 01:07:59,958
the bass is barely,
3120
01:08:01,083 --> 01:08:01,708
you can barely
3121
01:08:01,708 --> 01:08:03,208
hear it in the mix
3122
01:08:03,208 --> 01:08:04,375
because they didn't
3123
01:08:04,375 --> 01:08:05,166
want the bass there
3124
01:08:05,166 --> 01:08:06,166
because it reminded them
3125
01:08:06,166 --> 01:08:07,250
of their old bass player
3126
01:08:07,250 --> 01:08:07,625
or something.
3127
01:08:07,625 --> 01:08:10,166
The guy that died. So,
3128
01:08:10,166 --> 01:08:12,875
so, did you see the movie?
3129
01:08:12,875 --> 01:08:13,416
Did you see the
3130
01:08:13,416 --> 01:08:15,208
Metallica movie?
3131
01:08:15,208 --> 01:08:16,750
Which one of them,
3132
01:08:16,750 --> 01:08:18,083
like, the,
3133
01:08:18,083 --> 01:08:19,625
the some kind of monster?
3134
01:08:19,625 --> 01:08:21,041
Yeah. Oh, man.
3135
01:08:21,041 --> 01:08:22,000
Yeah, yeah. When the.
3136
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:23,625
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
3137
01:08:23,625 --> 01:08:24,791
what's hilarious.
3138
01:08:24,791 --> 01:08:26,375
It's hilarious.
3139
01:08:26,375 --> 01:08:28,250
Like the therapy sessions.
3140
01:08:28,250 --> 01:08:28,916
Yeah, yeah.
3141
01:08:28,916 --> 01:08:29,666
And they're paying
3142
01:08:29,666 --> 01:08:31,000
this guy, like
3143
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,583
$7,000 a day
3144
01:08:32,583 --> 01:08:33,500
or something, like.
3145
01:08:33,500 --> 01:08:36,500
And he's just a complete
3146
01:08:36,750 --> 01:08:38,250
arguing about
3147
01:08:38,250 --> 01:08:39,041
arguing about
3148
01:08:39,041 --> 01:08:40,416
whether every song needs
3149
01:08:40,416 --> 01:08:42,083
a solo, you know?
3150
01:08:42,083 --> 01:08:42,875
And it's,
3151
01:08:42,875 --> 01:08:44,041
it's amazing
3152
01:08:44,041 --> 01:08:45,333
that they survived that
3153
01:08:45,333 --> 01:08:46,750
and that there's still,
3154
01:08:46,750 --> 01:08:47,791
sort of relevant
3155
01:08:47,791 --> 01:08:48,666
and still sell out
3156
01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:49,583
shows and stuff.
3157
01:08:49,583 --> 01:08:51,208
I mean, I don't personally,
3158
01:08:51,208 --> 01:08:52,333
I don't think they ever made
3159
01:08:52,333 --> 01:08:53,041
a good album
3160
01:08:53,041 --> 01:08:54,000
after the Black Album,
3161
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:55,875
but but but still,
3162
01:08:55,875 --> 01:08:57,750
there's they're still touring
3163
01:08:57,750 --> 01:08:59,083
and every once in a while
3164
01:08:59,083 --> 01:08:59,750
there's a semi
3165
01:08:59,750 --> 01:09:01,750
good song coming out and,
3166
01:09:03,291 --> 01:09:04,541
I respect
3167
01:09:04,541 --> 01:09:05,291
the hell out of them
3168
01:09:05,291 --> 01:09:06,166
for, for like,
3169
01:09:06,166 --> 01:09:06,916
walking the walk
3170
01:09:06,916 --> 01:09:09,083
the way they do and and.
3171
01:09:09,083 --> 01:09:09,833
Yeah.
3172
01:09:09,833 --> 01:09:11,541
So who's left to see who.
3173
01:09:11,541 --> 01:09:12,791
Have you not seen that
3174
01:09:12,791 --> 01:09:13,750
still touring
3175
01:09:13,750 --> 01:09:14,708
that you want to see.
3176
01:09:14,708 --> 01:09:16,166
And let me tell you Primus.
3177
01:09:16,166 --> 01:09:18,875
Primus I never saw Primus.
3178
01:09:18,875 --> 01:09:19,416
But wait,
3179
01:09:19,416 --> 01:09:21,208
there's still touring.
3180
01:09:21,208 --> 01:09:22,125
Yeah, there's
3181
01:09:22,125 --> 01:09:22,708
they did
3182
01:09:22,708 --> 01:09:24,291
like one of the best concerts
3183
01:09:24,291 --> 01:09:25,208
I've ever seen.
3184
01:09:25,208 --> 01:09:26,041
Like,
3185
01:09:26,041 --> 01:09:27,250
I didn't see it myself,
3186
01:09:27,250 --> 01:09:28,958
but I saw it on YouTube
3187
01:09:28,958 --> 01:09:30,791
is when Trey and Matt play
3188
01:09:30,791 --> 01:09:31,958
all the South Park songs
3189
01:09:31,958 --> 01:09:34,666
with Prima's and Ween.
3190
01:09:34,666 --> 01:09:34,958
Like,
3191
01:09:34,958 --> 01:09:36,625
that was right up my alley.
3192
01:09:36,625 --> 01:09:37,833
I absolutely love
3193
01:09:37,833 --> 01:09:38,916
all the South Park stuff.
3194
01:09:38,916 --> 01:09:40,125
And and there
3195
01:09:40,125 --> 01:09:41,291
some super talented
3196
01:09:41,291 --> 01:09:42,250
musicians too.
3197
01:09:42,250 --> 01:09:44,250
Especially when playing
3198
01:09:44,250 --> 01:09:46,666
with Primus.
3199
01:09:46,666 --> 01:09:47,083
So.
3200
01:09:47,083 --> 01:09:49,791
So yeah, I'd like to see that
3201
01:09:49,791 --> 01:09:51,250
if if I could pick one band
3202
01:09:51,250 --> 01:09:51,958
that I haven't seen
3203
01:09:51,958 --> 01:09:52,625
that I'd like,
3204
01:09:52,625 --> 01:09:54,750
it's probably Primus.
3205
01:09:54,750 --> 01:09:56,291
And how about you?
3206
01:09:56,291 --> 01:09:57,958
I don't know, and I ruined it
3207
01:09:57,958 --> 01:09:59,541
because I finally saw
3208
01:09:59,541 --> 01:10:00,625
the Rolling Stones
3209
01:10:00,625 --> 01:10:02,083
not too long ago,
3210
01:10:02,083 --> 01:10:04,541
and I wish, I wish I didn't
3211
01:10:04,541 --> 01:10:06,375
because it just was crap.
3212
01:10:06,375 --> 01:10:06,833
Well, no,
3213
01:10:06,833 --> 01:10:07,791
I'm picturing, like,
3214
01:10:07,791 --> 01:10:08,791
everything that I know of
3215
01:10:08,791 --> 01:10:09,875
the Rolling Stones and,
3216
01:10:09,875 --> 01:10:10,208
you know,
3217
01:10:10,208 --> 01:10:11,416
I mean, the 70s
3218
01:10:11,416 --> 01:10:12,875
and like every
3219
01:10:12,875 --> 01:10:16,125
it was just it was so bad.
3220
01:10:16,625 --> 01:10:18,625
They just don't care.
3221
01:10:18,625 --> 01:10:21,041
I mean, it was
3222
01:10:21,041 --> 01:10:21,875
it was kind of
3223
01:10:21,875 --> 01:10:23,000
I wish I almost wish
3224
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,041
that I actually do
3225
01:10:24,041 --> 01:10:25,083
wish that I didn't go
3226
01:10:25,083 --> 01:10:25,583
and I could just
3227
01:10:25,583 --> 01:10:26,708
keep it in my life
3228
01:10:26,708 --> 01:10:27,333
or I wish
3229
01:10:27,333 --> 01:10:27,958
that I would have saw them
3230
01:10:27,958 --> 01:10:28,666
in the 90s,
3231
01:10:28,666 --> 01:10:29,041
maybe
3232
01:10:29,041 --> 01:10:29,750
when it was a little bit
3233
01:10:29,750 --> 01:10:30,541
of a different thing.
3234
01:10:30,541 --> 01:10:31,083
Same thing
3235
01:10:31,083 --> 01:10:32,250
with Bob Dylan right now.
3236
01:10:32,250 --> 01:10:32,500
I mean,
3237
01:10:32,500 --> 01:10:33,041
I wish I could have
3238
01:10:33,041 --> 01:10:33,833
saw him in the 90s,
3239
01:10:33,833 --> 01:10:36,000
but it is a terrible show.
3240
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,166
It is. It is an awful show.
3241
01:10:38,166 --> 01:10:38,625
Did you know
3242
01:10:38,625 --> 01:10:40,041
after the the,
3243
01:10:40,041 --> 01:10:42,458
the Prague, the
3244
01:10:42,458 --> 01:10:44,291
the 2023 one?
3245
01:10:44,291 --> 01:10:45,000
Luke
3246
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:45,875
and I went to see,
3247
01:10:45,875 --> 01:10:48,500
and Luke's wife
3248
01:10:48,500 --> 01:10:51,333
went to see, Pantera.
3249
01:10:51,333 --> 01:10:51,875
Wow.
3250
01:10:51,875 --> 01:10:53,625
The Pantera reunion
3251
01:10:53,625 --> 01:10:54,625
or whatever you call the pit.
3252
01:10:54,625 --> 01:10:56,083
There are tributes.
3253
01:10:56,083 --> 01:10:56,833
I bet there's.
3254
01:10:56,833 --> 01:10:58,000
And that was really good.
3255
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,375
And Prague is Prague
3256
01:10:59,375 --> 01:11:00,500
especially, you know, like,
3257
01:11:00,500 --> 01:11:02,083
if you're going to see bands
3258
01:11:02,083 --> 01:11:03,041
in, in Europe,
3259
01:11:03,041 --> 01:11:03,625
you should
3260
01:11:03,625 --> 01:11:04,416
see them in Prague,
3261
01:11:04,416 --> 01:11:05,291
because like, that's
3262
01:11:05,291 --> 01:11:06,166
where the
3263
01:11:06,166 --> 01:11:07,208
we know that that's
3264
01:11:07,208 --> 01:11:08,416
where the cool underground
3265
01:11:08,416 --> 01:11:09,041
pubs are.
3266
01:11:09,041 --> 01:11:09,916
And everything and like,
3267
01:11:09,916 --> 01:11:10,375
oh, of course
3268
01:11:10,375 --> 01:11:11,083
this was in a big
3269
01:11:11,083 --> 01:11:12,541
arena and stuff,
3270
01:11:12,541 --> 01:11:14,083
but it was really cool.
3271
01:11:14,083 --> 01:11:15,083
And they sounded
3272
01:11:15,083 --> 01:11:16,458
good, like really good.
3273
01:11:18,458 --> 01:11:19,958
I wish I would have seen
3274
01:11:19,958 --> 01:11:23,916
AcDc in the, in the late 90s.
3275
01:11:23,916 --> 01:11:25,541
I actually did see them
3276
01:11:25,541 --> 01:11:26,500
not too long ago
3277
01:11:26,500 --> 01:11:29,083
on the tour with Axl Rose.
3278
01:11:29,083 --> 01:11:30,458
Oh, you saw that?
3279
01:11:30,458 --> 01:11:30,666
Yeah.
3280
01:11:30,666 --> 01:11:32,041
They sent their singer home
3281
01:11:32,041 --> 01:11:33,750
because I guess his death,
3282
01:11:33,750 --> 01:11:35,875
which is
3283
01:11:35,875 --> 01:11:37,083
which is a tough thing. This.
3284
01:11:37,083 --> 01:11:37,541
How do you have
3285
01:11:37,541 --> 01:11:38,333
that conversation?
3286
01:11:38,333 --> 01:11:39,833
Listen, you're leaving her,
3287
01:11:39,833 --> 01:11:41,625
and you can't shit.
3288
01:11:41,625 --> 01:11:44,208
But anyway, Yeah. Yeah.
3289
01:11:44,208 --> 01:11:45,583
Go on. It was still good.
3290
01:11:45,583 --> 01:11:47,291
Did you ever see them?
3291
01:11:47,291 --> 01:11:48,083
I know,
3292
01:11:48,083 --> 01:11:49,083
but I saw the clips
3293
01:11:49,083 --> 01:11:50,041
of Axl Rose singing.
3294
01:11:50,041 --> 01:11:51,625
Ironically enough,
3295
01:11:51,625 --> 01:11:52,666
I think Axl Rose
3296
01:11:52,666 --> 01:11:53,916
sort of redeemed himself.
3297
01:11:53,916 --> 01:11:55,000
I mean, he's been sounding
3298
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:55,791
like Mickey Mouse
3299
01:11:55,791 --> 01:11:56,708
for a long time.
3300
01:11:56,708 --> 01:11:58,416
Like, he hasn't been good,
3301
01:11:58,416 --> 01:12:00,458
since the 90s. Really?
3302
01:12:00,458 --> 01:12:01,250
And,
3303
01:12:01,250 --> 01:12:02,458
but but I think
3304
01:12:02,458 --> 01:12:03,500
the AC, DC stuff
3305
01:12:03,500 --> 01:12:04,416
sounded really good.
3306
01:12:04,416 --> 01:12:05,416
Like,
3307
01:12:05,416 --> 01:12:06,916
he sort of redeemed himself.
3308
01:12:06,916 --> 01:12:08,583
I guess he had to
3309
01:12:08,583 --> 01:12:09,625
kick himself in the book
3310
01:12:09,625 --> 01:12:10,958
because he got that gig
3311
01:12:10,958 --> 01:12:13,125
and they took pride in it.
3312
01:12:13,125 --> 01:12:14,041
So the clips
3313
01:12:14,041 --> 01:12:15,166
I've seen sounded good.
3314
01:12:15,166 --> 01:12:15,875
Did it sound good?
3315
01:12:15,875 --> 01:12:18,166
Like like, was he okay?
3316
01:12:18,166 --> 01:12:19,000
I mean, you
3317
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:19,750
know, Angus
3318
01:12:19,750 --> 01:12:20,833
Young is actually
3319
01:12:20,833 --> 01:12:22,250
a teetotaler.
3320
01:12:22,250 --> 01:12:26,375
So he doesn't do any drugs,
3321
01:12:26,375 --> 01:12:27,916
drinking, nothing.
3322
01:12:27,916 --> 01:12:29,333
He's very,
3323
01:12:29,333 --> 01:12:32,333
But he's a chain smoker.
3324
01:12:32,500 --> 01:12:34,333
Yeah. He smokes like crazy.
3325
01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:35,833
So he's getting up there
3326
01:12:35,833 --> 01:12:37,083
in years,
3327
01:12:37,083 --> 01:12:38,166
and,
3328
01:12:38,166 --> 01:12:38,625
you know,
3329
01:12:38,625 --> 01:12:38,916
it was
3330
01:12:38,916 --> 01:12:40,250
still a very good show.
3331
01:12:40,250 --> 01:12:40,958
Like, it was.
3332
01:12:40,958 --> 01:12:42,041
It wasn't like the stones
3333
01:12:42,041 --> 01:12:42,666
thing.
3334
01:12:42,666 --> 01:12:43,208
The stones
3335
01:12:43,208 --> 01:12:44,625
thing was embarrassing.
3336
01:12:44,625 --> 01:12:45,583
It was still
3337
01:12:45,583 --> 01:12:46,791
a very good show.
3338
01:12:46,791 --> 01:12:47,583
It was weird
3339
01:12:47,583 --> 01:12:48,166
because Axl
3340
01:12:48,166 --> 01:12:49,750
just hung out in the back.
3341
01:12:49,750 --> 01:12:50,666
The basically,
3342
01:12:50,666 --> 01:12:51,666
the back of the stage
3343
01:12:51,666 --> 01:12:52,541
didn't really live it
3344
01:12:52,541 --> 01:12:53,291
up, like,
3345
01:12:53,291 --> 01:12:54,291
it wasn't really his thing.
3346
01:12:54,291 --> 01:12:55,958
Like he stayed in the back
3347
01:12:55,958 --> 01:12:56,625
a little bit,
3348
01:12:56,625 --> 01:12:57,375
but it was fine.
3349
01:12:57,375 --> 01:12:58,500
But AC, DC
3350
01:12:58,500 --> 01:12:59,333
still does something
3351
01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:00,250
really cool
3352
01:13:00,250 --> 01:13:01,583
where a lot of their
3353
01:13:01,583 --> 01:13:03,125
their show is still
3354
01:13:03,125 --> 01:13:04,875
very like analog.
3355
01:13:04,875 --> 01:13:06,791
Like they have the big check,
3356
01:13:06,791 --> 01:13:07,875
you know, that
3357
01:13:07,875 --> 01:13:10,125
that blows up the inflatable,
3358
01:13:10,125 --> 01:13:11,500
the inflatable
3359
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:12,875
thing that comes out
3360
01:13:12,875 --> 01:13:14,166
and kind of floats around
3361
01:13:14,166 --> 01:13:15,583
and it's so cool
3362
01:13:15,583 --> 01:13:16,125
because it's
3363
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:17,458
not just like everything
3364
01:13:17,458 --> 01:13:18,250
is, you know,
3365
01:13:18,250 --> 01:13:19,875
CGI technology,
3366
01:13:19,875 --> 01:13:20,875
like it's still.
3367
01:13:20,875 --> 01:13:22,041
And it was awesome
3368
01:13:22,041 --> 01:13:23,250
and it was cool.
3369
01:13:23,250 --> 01:13:24,541
Whole Lotta Rosie,
3370
01:13:24,541 --> 01:13:25,750
that's Rosie, right?
3371
01:13:25,750 --> 01:13:27,833
Yeah. Inflatable shake.
3372
01:13:29,333 --> 01:13:30,916
Now, I love, this,
3373
01:13:30,916 --> 01:13:32,833
AC DC anecdote
3374
01:13:32,833 --> 01:13:33,166
where
3375
01:13:33,166 --> 01:13:35,083
the interviewers,
3376
01:13:35,083 --> 01:13:37,125
accuses Angus of like, AC.
3377
01:13:37,125 --> 01:13:38,125
DC has just made
3378
01:13:38,125 --> 01:13:39,041
the same album
3379
01:13:39,041 --> 01:13:40,208
12 times in a row.
3380
01:13:40,208 --> 01:13:41,083
Like, it's
3381
01:13:41,083 --> 01:13:42,500
it all sounds the same.
3382
01:13:42,500 --> 01:13:43,125
And he's like,
3383
01:13:43,125 --> 01:13:44,083
no, no, no,
3384
01:13:44,083 --> 01:13:46,375
that's, entirely not true.
3385
01:13:46,375 --> 01:13:48,583
That it's completely false.
3386
01:13:48,583 --> 01:13:50,291
We've actually made 13 albums
3387
01:13:50,291 --> 01:13:53,291
that some.
3388
01:13:54,791 --> 01:13:55,583
I mean,
3389
01:13:55,583 --> 01:13:56,625
that drummer,
3390
01:13:56,625 --> 01:13:59,166
he has to be bored.
3391
01:13:59,166 --> 01:13:59,458
Yeah.
3392
01:13:59,458 --> 01:14:01,208
The AC DC drummer,
3393
01:14:01,208 --> 01:14:03,666
but man, I don't care.
3394
01:14:03,666 --> 01:14:04,750
That's a hit, man.
3395
01:14:04,750 --> 01:14:05,041
That's
3396
01:14:05,041 --> 01:14:06,958
that's all you need to play?
3397
01:14:06,958 --> 01:14:09,958
No, and I mean,
3398
01:14:10,083 --> 01:14:12,000
an album like High Voltage.
3399
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:13,541
Like how how fucking good is
3400
01:14:13,541 --> 01:14:13,875
that?
3401
01:14:13,875 --> 01:14:15,333
Or Hell's Bells,
3402
01:14:15,333 --> 01:14:17,375
or what's up with
3403
01:14:17,375 --> 01:14:18,375
Back in black?
3404
01:14:18,375 --> 01:14:20,291
Back in black.
3405
01:14:20,291 --> 01:14:20,541
You know,
3406
01:14:20,541 --> 01:14:21,250
that was after
3407
01:14:21,250 --> 01:14:22,916
the original singer died.
3408
01:14:22,916 --> 01:14:23,625
Yeah, yeah,
3409
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:24,583
but that's the first one
3410
01:14:24,583 --> 01:14:25,791
with Brian, right?
3411
01:14:25,791 --> 01:14:27,583
Yeah. Yeah.
3412
01:14:27,583 --> 01:14:28,708
And it's so good.
3413
01:14:28,708 --> 01:14:30,375
And,
3414
01:14:31,791 --> 01:14:33,333
I mean, they put up
3415
01:14:33,333 --> 01:14:34,250
so many,
3416
01:14:34,250 --> 01:14:35,375
so many killer things,
3417
01:14:35,375 --> 01:14:36,041
so like,
3418
01:14:36,041 --> 01:14:37,666
I can't imagine, like,
3419
01:14:37,666 --> 01:14:39,250
I, I love and
3420
01:14:39,250 --> 01:14:40,875
I love listening to AC, DC
3421
01:14:40,875 --> 01:14:41,791
while I drive.
3422
01:14:41,791 --> 01:14:43,000
Like, it's the perfect car.
3423
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,875
Music.
3424
01:14:44,875 --> 01:14:46,083
And they're fairly easy
3425
01:14:46,083 --> 01:14:47,291
riffs to play, right?
3426
01:14:47,291 --> 01:14:47,541
Like,
3427
01:14:47,541 --> 01:14:48,083
if you're young
3428
01:14:48,083 --> 01:14:49,208
and learning to play guitar,
3429
01:14:49,208 --> 01:14:51,000
I mean, it's.
3430
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:51,791
Yeah. Is it not?
3431
01:14:51,791 --> 01:14:52,083
Is it
3432
01:14:52,083 --> 01:14:54,416
not a bad place to start?
3433
01:14:54,416 --> 01:14:55,500
It's a good place to start,
3434
01:14:55,500 --> 01:14:56,000
I guess.
3435
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,375
And like,
3436
01:14:57,375 --> 01:14:58,583
this is one of the perks
3437
01:14:58,583 --> 01:15:00,041
of all of these bands
3438
01:15:00,041 --> 01:15:00,875
that we grow up with.
3439
01:15:00,875 --> 01:15:03,375
Everyone learn to play guitar
3440
01:15:03,375 --> 01:15:03,916
by playing
3441
01:15:03,916 --> 01:15:05,333
like Metallica, Iron
3442
01:15:05,333 --> 01:15:07,041
Maiden and AC, DC riffs.
3443
01:15:07,041 --> 01:15:08,208
Like, when I grew up.
3444
01:15:08,208 --> 01:15:09,416
That's that's what we did.
3445
01:15:09,416 --> 01:15:11,000
Like we learned how to play
3446
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:11,958
run to the Hills,
3447
01:15:11,958 --> 01:15:12,583
for instance.
3448
01:15:14,541 --> 01:15:16,041
Everyone knew that.
3449
01:15:16,041 --> 01:15:17,833
And, Enter Sandman,
3450
01:15:17,833 --> 01:15:18,750
everyone knew that.
3451
01:15:18,750 --> 01:15:21,750
And, like stuff like that.
3452
01:15:22,958 --> 01:15:25,583
Yeah.
3453
01:15:25,583 --> 01:15:28,583
Or, Highway to Hell.
3454
01:15:28,958 --> 01:15:29,250
Yeah.
3455
01:15:29,250 --> 01:15:29,708
That's a
3456
01:15:29,708 --> 01:15:31,041
that's a Canute classic.
3457
01:15:31,041 --> 01:15:31,666
That's on the
3458
01:15:31,666 --> 01:15:33,625
that's on the short list.
3459
01:15:33,625 --> 01:15:34,708
I can't sing it though.
3460
01:15:34,708 --> 01:15:36,041
Like we had to transpose it
3461
01:15:36,041 --> 01:15:38,375
when we played it in Prague.
3462
01:15:38,375 --> 01:15:41,250
Luke claims that he can sing
3463
01:15:41,250 --> 01:15:43,208
AC, DC in the original key,
3464
01:15:43,208 --> 01:15:44,458
so we'll have to
3465
01:15:44,458 --> 01:15:45,291
he'll have to sing
3466
01:15:45,291 --> 01:15:47,250
the AC DC songs next time,
3467
01:15:47,250 --> 01:15:48,208
and we'll have to, like,
3468
01:15:48,208 --> 01:15:49,958
practice them.
3469
01:15:49,958 --> 01:15:50,500
Yeah, sure.
3470
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:51,875
I'd love to play some
3471
01:15:51,875 --> 01:15:53,125
more AC, DC for sure.
3472
01:15:53,125 --> 01:15:54,500
I may be able to help you out
3473
01:15:54,500 --> 01:15:55,750
a little bit,
3474
01:15:55,750 --> 01:15:56,916
so I don't know.
3475
01:15:56,916 --> 01:15:58,166
You should. You should.
3476
01:15:58,166 --> 01:15:59,166
I wish I would have helped
3477
01:15:59,166 --> 01:15:59,916
Joe out
3478
01:15:59,916 --> 01:16:01,208
with some of his songs.
3479
01:16:01,208 --> 01:16:02,125
I mean, I don't even need
3480
01:16:02,125 --> 01:16:02,833
the iPad.
3481
01:16:02,833 --> 01:16:03,916
I know every damn word.
3482
01:16:03,916 --> 01:16:05,541
I'm a big words guy.
3483
01:16:05,541 --> 01:16:06,125
I mean, I could have
3484
01:16:06,125 --> 01:16:08,000
did all those pop punk songs,
3485
01:16:09,125 --> 01:16:11,500
small things.
3486
01:16:11,500 --> 01:16:12,666
Yeah, I know you hate it.
3487
01:16:12,666 --> 01:16:13,541
You hate it all.
3488
01:16:13,541 --> 01:16:14,708
No, no, I love it,
3489
01:16:14,708 --> 01:16:15,416
I love it,
3490
01:16:15,416 --> 01:16:16,750
I absolutely love it.
3491
01:16:16,750 --> 01:16:17,791
I it's okay.
3492
01:16:17,791 --> 01:16:19,541
And I pretended that
3493
01:16:19,541 --> 01:16:20,875
I hated it in my teens,
3494
01:16:20,875 --> 01:16:23,875
but I loved it back then too.
3495
01:16:24,125 --> 01:16:26,083
Like, I, I love the pop
3496
01:16:26,083 --> 01:16:27,125
punk stuff.
3497
01:16:27,125 --> 01:16:28,875
I think it's brilliant.
3498
01:16:28,875 --> 01:16:29,625
Yeah.
3499
01:16:29,625 --> 01:16:32,625
It had its it had its moment.
3500
01:16:32,916 --> 01:16:34,166
Absolutely.
3501
01:16:34,166 --> 01:16:36,291
So, must I mean,
3502
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:37,208
this has been more
3503
01:16:37,208 --> 01:16:38,791
you interviewing me than me
3504
01:16:38,791 --> 01:16:40,000
interviewing you,
3505
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:42,750
but so before, before we run
3506
01:16:42,750 --> 01:16:43,166
this off,
3507
01:16:43,166 --> 01:16:44,458
we've been going here for,
3508
01:16:44,458 --> 01:16:46,541
if anyone. Stephen.
3509
01:16:46,541 --> 01:16:47,875
Still listening?
3510
01:16:47,875 --> 01:16:49,541
This this is
3511
01:16:49,541 --> 01:16:50,833
coming up on on, like,
3512
01:16:50,833 --> 01:16:52,666
80 minutes or something, but,
3513
01:16:52,666 --> 01:16:54,625
let's say it was.
3514
01:16:54,625 --> 01:16:58,125
Let's go back to, Lightning
3515
01:16:58,125 --> 01:16:59,083
Ventures and Thunder.
3516
01:16:59,083 --> 01:16:59,541
Thunder.
3517
01:16:59,541 --> 01:17:01,041
Is there anything else
3518
01:17:01,041 --> 01:17:02,083
you want to add about that?
3519
01:17:02,083 --> 01:17:02,666
Because we've
3520
01:17:02,666 --> 01:17:03,583
been talking music
3521
01:17:03,583 --> 01:17:04,958
now for most of this.
3522
01:17:04,958 --> 01:17:06,250
So, so
3523
01:17:06,250 --> 01:17:07,416
so so
3524
01:17:07,416 --> 01:17:08,500
what else is there to say
3525
01:17:08,500 --> 01:17:09,583
about that?
3526
01:17:09,583 --> 01:17:10,958
The most important thing
3527
01:17:10,958 --> 01:17:12,375
is I'm helping Knute
3528
01:17:12,375 --> 01:17:13,541
develop a show
3529
01:17:13,541 --> 01:17:14,625
that is going to be
3530
01:17:14,625 --> 01:17:16,833
really all about music
3531
01:17:16,833 --> 01:17:18,875
and dive into,
3532
01:17:18,875 --> 01:17:20,041
you know, bands
3533
01:17:20,041 --> 01:17:21,625
or albums or songs,
3534
01:17:21,625 --> 01:17:23,083
maybe play a few clips
3535
01:17:23,083 --> 01:17:23,750
here and there.
3536
01:17:23,750 --> 01:17:25,083
I'm looking forward to,
3537
01:17:25,083 --> 01:17:27,083
seeing how that goes.
3538
01:17:27,083 --> 01:17:28,125
So, yeah,
3539
01:17:28,125 --> 01:17:29,291
Lightning Ventures,
3540
01:17:29,291 --> 01:17:30,750
if you're curious,
3541
01:17:30,750 --> 01:17:31,333
if you want to
3542
01:17:31,333 --> 01:17:32,291
join our group,
3543
01:17:32,291 --> 01:17:33,375
but we are the world's
3544
01:17:33,375 --> 01:17:34,875
largest Bitcoin focused
3545
01:17:34,875 --> 01:17:37,041
investing network.
3546
01:17:37,041 --> 01:17:40,708
Meet cool people, get jobs,
3547
01:17:40,708 --> 01:17:41,333
get work
3548
01:17:41,333 --> 01:17:42,375
partnerships,
3549
01:17:42,375 --> 01:17:43,583
invest in companies,
3550
01:17:43,583 --> 01:17:44,083
get money
3551
01:17:44,083 --> 01:17:45,416
for your own company.
3552
01:17:45,416 --> 01:17:46,541
We've been fiat
3553
01:17:46,541 --> 01:17:48,250
mining for Bitcoin startups
3554
01:17:48,250 --> 01:17:50,500
since 2021.
3555
01:17:50,500 --> 01:17:51,250
So that's a little bit
3556
01:17:51,250 --> 01:17:52,791
on Lightning Ventures.
3557
01:17:52,791 --> 01:17:53,625
And,
3558
01:17:53,625 --> 01:17:54,208
it's different
3559
01:17:54,208 --> 01:17:56,500
than these other, VC firms.
3560
01:17:56,500 --> 01:17:56,791
Right?
3561
01:17:56,791 --> 01:17:58,375
The, the other VCs,
3562
01:17:58,375 --> 01:17:58,625
you know,
3563
01:17:58,625 --> 01:18:00,625
they raised $30 million
3564
01:18:00,625 --> 01:18:01,125
and then they
3565
01:18:01,125 --> 01:18:02,000
spend your money
3566
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:02,583
and we do it
3567
01:18:02,583 --> 01:18:03,500
a little bit differently,
3568
01:18:03,500 --> 01:18:04,416
where you get to make
3569
01:18:04,416 --> 01:18:05,625
your own decisions
3570
01:18:05,625 --> 01:18:07,000
and get rolling.
3571
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:08,000
They make a lot
3572
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:08,666
more money, though,
3573
01:18:08,666 --> 01:18:09,625
so maybe I should do
3574
01:18:09,625 --> 01:18:11,041
what they do.
3575
01:18:11,041 --> 01:18:11,833
And then Thunder.
3576
01:18:11,833 --> 01:18:12,916
Thunder, of course,
3577
01:18:12,916 --> 01:18:15,375
is a CF funding portal.
3578
01:18:15,375 --> 01:18:18,125
That's thunder. Thunder.com.
3579
01:18:18,125 --> 01:18:19,458
Totally free to sign up.
3580
01:18:19,458 --> 01:18:20,208
We have two live
3581
01:18:20,208 --> 01:18:21,791
deals there right now.
3582
01:18:21,791 --> 01:18:22,666
You know,
3583
01:18:22,666 --> 01:18:24,000
we're just getting started
3584
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:24,791
on the platform,
3585
01:18:24,791 --> 01:18:25,583
so send us all
3586
01:18:25,583 --> 01:18:26,583
your bug requests.
3587
01:18:26,583 --> 01:18:27,250
Send us shit.
3588
01:18:27,250 --> 01:18:28,500
That doesn't work.
3589
01:18:28,500 --> 01:18:29,333
You know, sending
3590
01:18:29,333 --> 01:18:30,125
messages back
3591
01:18:30,125 --> 01:18:32,166
and forth, public profiles,
3592
01:18:32,166 --> 01:18:33,500
earning badges,
3593
01:18:33,500 --> 01:18:34,750
all kinds of stuff there.
3594
01:18:34,750 --> 01:18:36,250
So we're just getting started
3595
01:18:36,250 --> 01:18:36,958
with Thunder. Thunder.
3596
01:18:36,958 --> 01:18:37,750
But those are the two
3597
01:18:37,750 --> 01:18:38,333
main things
3598
01:18:38,333 --> 01:18:39,458
that I'm working on.
3599
01:18:39,458 --> 01:18:40,833
Although our primary
3600
01:18:40,833 --> 01:18:42,041
revenue driver
3601
01:18:42,041 --> 01:18:43,750
is Satoshi Nakamoto.
3602
01:18:43,750 --> 01:18:45,125
So that's really
3603
01:18:45,125 --> 01:18:46,000
that's really.
3604
01:18:48,333 --> 01:18:48,666
Yeah.
3605
01:18:48,666 --> 01:18:49,208
Right.
3606
01:18:49,208 --> 01:18:49,625
I mean,
3607
01:18:49,625 --> 01:18:50,958
so you have to tell me
3608
01:18:50,958 --> 01:18:52,750
is, the name Thunder.
3609
01:18:52,750 --> 01:18:53,541
Thunder?
3610
01:18:53,541 --> 01:18:57,125
Oh, is that, alluding to
3611
01:18:57,166 --> 01:18:59,208
to the Lightning Network
3612
01:18:59,208 --> 01:19:00,666
or was it purely
3613
01:19:00,666 --> 01:19:02,625
an AC DC hint?
3614
01:19:03,958 --> 01:19:04,583
It's not,
3615
01:19:04,583 --> 01:19:05,958
but it's a little of both.
3616
01:19:05,958 --> 01:19:07,000
You know,
3617
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:08,625
when I was 13 or 14,
3618
01:19:08,625 --> 01:19:10,208
I had the third,
3619
01:19:10,208 --> 01:19:11,208
largest AC,
3620
01:19:11,208 --> 01:19:13,083
DC website on the internet.
3621
01:19:13,083 --> 01:19:13,958
I wrote it
3622
01:19:13,958 --> 01:19:16,125
in, notepad on my computer.
3623
01:19:16,125 --> 01:19:17,583
It was called High Voltage,
3624
01:19:17,583 --> 01:19:18,708
was the name of the site.
3625
01:19:18,708 --> 01:19:19,666
And it was probably one
3626
01:19:19,666 --> 01:19:21,083
of those GeoCities
3627
01:19:21,083 --> 01:19:23,291
slash whatever, tilde,
3628
01:19:23,291 --> 01:19:23,666
you know,
3629
01:19:23,666 --> 01:19:24,458
or maybe something
3630
01:19:24,458 --> 01:19:25,958
like that, but,
3631
01:19:25,958 --> 01:19:27,041
but yeah, I love
3632
01:19:27,041 --> 01:19:28,541
I love that and, you know,
3633
01:19:28,541 --> 01:19:29,875
kind of a play on,
3634
01:19:29,875 --> 01:19:31,000
you know, Lightning Ventures.
3635
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:31,708
Lightning Ventures
3636
01:19:31,708 --> 01:19:33,791
isn't just about lightning,
3637
01:19:33,791 --> 01:19:35,166
companies.
3638
01:19:35,166 --> 01:19:37,000
It's all things Bitcoin.
3639
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:38,583
And it's a jazzy name.
3640
01:19:38,583 --> 01:19:39,458
And, you know,
3641
01:19:39,458 --> 01:19:40,583
I think that lightning is
3642
01:19:40,583 --> 01:19:41,791
is the way that it's going,
3643
01:19:41,791 --> 01:19:42,708
and that is the future.
3644
01:19:42,708 --> 01:19:43,500
But we do
3645
01:19:43,500 --> 01:19:44,416
a lot of other things
3646
01:19:44,416 --> 01:19:44,791
that are
3647
01:19:44,791 --> 01:19:45,916
that are not necessarily
3648
01:19:45,916 --> 01:19:48,333
just lightning focused.
3649
01:19:48,333 --> 01:19:49,333
So fantastic.
3650
01:19:49,333 --> 01:19:50,750
And what's the website again?
3651
01:19:52,208 --> 01:19:53,583
Lightning
3652
01:19:53,583 --> 01:19:54,875
Adventures and
3653
01:19:54,875 --> 01:19:57,750
Thunder thunder.com.
3654
01:19:57,750 --> 01:19:58,500
All right.
3655
01:19:58,500 --> 01:19:59,541
And,
3656
01:19:59,541 --> 01:20:00,916
would you like to see me
3657
01:20:00,916 --> 01:20:02,375
and must do a show
3658
01:20:02,375 --> 01:20:04,333
where we dissect album
3659
01:20:04,333 --> 01:20:06,250
by album
3660
01:20:06,250 --> 01:20:08,833
music albums and,
3661
01:20:08,833 --> 01:20:09,750
our favorites
3662
01:20:09,750 --> 01:20:11,000
from the past and,
3663
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:12,333
and talk about each track
3664
01:20:12,333 --> 01:20:13,916
and how they were recorded
3665
01:20:13,916 --> 01:20:14,750
and why,
3666
01:20:14,750 --> 01:20:17,833
if so, comments below.
3667
01:20:17,833 --> 01:20:18,916
And and tell us
3668
01:20:18,916 --> 01:20:19,416
what you think
3669
01:20:19,416 --> 01:20:20,916
about that idea.
3670
01:20:20,916 --> 01:20:21,458
Yeah.
3671
01:20:21,458 --> 01:20:22,250
There's just things
3672
01:20:22,250 --> 01:20:23,291
that happened to you.
3673
01:20:23,291 --> 01:20:23,750
I mean,
3674
01:20:23,750 --> 01:20:26,083
the intro to thunderstruck, I
3675
01:20:26,083 --> 01:20:27,083
when that comes on,
3676
01:20:27,083 --> 01:20:27,791
I just can't,
3677
01:20:27,791 --> 01:20:28,750
I just, I can't,
3678
01:20:28,750 --> 01:20:31,750
I can't, I just,
3679
01:20:32,625 --> 01:20:34,083
it's so good.
3680
01:20:34,083 --> 01:20:35,541
When I see you do that, I,
3681
01:20:35,541 --> 01:20:36,791
I sometimes wish
3682
01:20:36,791 --> 01:20:39,500
I still had my long hair.
3683
01:20:39,500 --> 01:20:40,333
Well, it's not too late.
3684
01:20:40,333 --> 01:20:42,458
Cannot grow it back.
3685
01:20:42,458 --> 01:20:43,916
Well, I have a hat now.
3686
01:20:43,916 --> 01:20:45,583
I like hats, too.
3687
01:20:48,083 --> 01:20:49,291
Anyway, must.
3688
01:20:49,291 --> 01:20:50,083
It's been great
3689
01:20:50,083 --> 01:20:51,583
talking to you, and,
3690
01:20:51,583 --> 01:20:52,791
it's been great doing this
3691
01:20:52,791 --> 01:20:53,833
rock, Commodus, with you.
3692
01:20:53,833 --> 01:20:54,750
And I hope we get to do
3693
01:20:54,750 --> 01:20:56,291
more of them in the future
3694
01:20:56,291 --> 01:20:57,666
and get to hang out
3695
01:20:57,666 --> 01:20:59,291
and play chess and drink
3696
01:20:59,291 --> 01:21:00,375
adult beverages.
3697
01:21:00,375 --> 01:21:01,416
Whatever.
3698
01:21:01,416 --> 01:21:02,416
Whatever.
3699
01:21:02,416 --> 01:21:03,791
Whatever's on the table,
3700
01:21:03,791 --> 01:21:05,708
literally and metaphorically.
3701
01:21:05,708 --> 01:21:08,583
So, see you next time.
3702
01:21:08,583 --> 01:21:09,333
Yeah. Can you.
3703
01:21:09,333 --> 01:21:10,708
Thanks very much, man.
3704
01:21:10,708 --> 01:21:12,500
Cheers to you.
3705
01:21:12,500 --> 01:21:13,833
This has been the Bitcoin
3706
01:21:13,833 --> 01:21:14,750
Infinity Show.
3707
01:21:14,750 --> 01:21:15,875
Thanks for listening.
