Season 20

Season 20, Episode 38 of The Adventures of Pipeman. Tune in at 1PM ET 04/10/2026 to W4CY Radio at w4cy.com.

Chapter 1:
The band headed into 2026 like a freight train — all gas, no brakes.

Upstate New York metalcore outfit Fight From Within released their new single, “Let Me Out,” through an exciting new partnership with Arson Theory. Produced by Pablo Viveros (Formerly Chelsea Grin), the track captures the band’s energy and edge to their sound.

“We had a blast with this track,” the band shares. “We wanted it to be intense and kind of trippy. We even added a little surprise in the release."

That surprise comes in the form of a hidden track titled “TATT,” which stands for “Tired All The Time.” The track delivers a pointed message from the band about their frustrations with the current state of the scene.

“TATT stands for ‘Tired All The Time’ because we’re so over the bullshit in the scene,” the band explains.

Alongside the release of “Let Me Out,” Fight From Within will be hitting the road this spring, bringing their high-energy live show to fans across multiple cities. Known for their explosive performances and uncompromising attitude, the band continues to build momentum both on record and on stage. Recently, the band signed with Core Collective Talent Agency for US and Canada tours & Timeframe Booking for Europe.

Chapter 2:
Freddy Jones Band Featured by NASA as “In a Daydream” Wakes Artemis II Crew
(And for the record, there’s no one in the band named Freddy Jones.)

Singer, Marty Lloyd wrote the song in a daydream which was played as a wake up song on the Artemis two Friday, which was day three in space. The song was a number one on AAA back in 1993 and the band started really going out and touring again 11 years ago and continues to tour. Marty Lloyd is the founding member with longtime member/band manager Rich Ross on Bass Guitar. Rich was formally in The Samples for many years starting in 1999. Freddy Jones Band is currently still releasing new music and touring.

Freddy Jones Band's latest single, "No Money In Vegas," is a vibrant addition to their legacy, produced by Grammy Award winning producer, J.J. Blair. Frontman Marty Lloyd and Bassist Rich Ross continue to define the bands signature sound.

friends of mine. So let's welcome to the show. Mikey

8

from Fight from Within.

9
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:52.079
Yay, what's going on, guys, man, it's good to see

10
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:52.520

11
00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:54.039
Thank you man.

12
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:57.520
Yeah, dude, it's is a head of blast. Last time

13
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.280
we were hanging.

14
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:01.799
Out, it's always on, it's always fun and I have

15
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:04.599
a blast that you have this new single out let

16
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:09.040
Me Out. Yeah. I feel like that's the mantra of

17
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.840
my life right now, and which is why I went

18
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:15.200
to Costa Rica last month to escape. That was at

19
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.120
That was a let me out moment, get me away

20
00:01:18.159 --> 00:01:21.680
from all this insanity that's going on. Yeah, you know,

21
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:26.599
and uh, that's what music's all about. And you know,

22
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.959
I want to hear about the surprise, oh.

23
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:33.840
The other song.

24
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.359
So so yeah, we dropped T A T T which

25
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:42.120
is TAT tired all the time. We dropped that with

26
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.439
it because it was just something that we wrote and

27
00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:48.680
it was so true because God, we're exhausted. We're so exhausted.

28
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:52.159
It's hard out here man, But like you know, let

29
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.079
me out too. I feel like depending on what you

30
00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:55.519
did in.

31
00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.120
Costa Rica or what you what you've done in the past.

32
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:03.280
So that song is literally about a bad LSD trip.

33
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:05.439
Oh though, well there you go.

34
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:08.039
Yeah, so if you look, if you look at the lyrics,

35
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:11.719
it was about a bad acid trip. The song itself

36
00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:15.840
instrumentally was just very you know, I felt like it

37
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:19.159
was extreme. It was extreme and it was super trippy,

38
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:22.120
the way that the way that we blended to breakdown

39
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.000
in the middle and everything. So, uh yeah, I formulated

40
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:29.400
it around a bad acid trip, not saying that I've

41
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:30.479
ever done acid or anything.

42
00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.560
Well, only somebody that's done would know what it's like

43
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.120
to have a bad one and want to get out

44
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:38.000
of it and want to.

45
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:40.919
Get out when you're sitting there for nine hours later.

46
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:50.360
Why exactly exactly? And you know, to me, I think

47
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.400
that's what makes great music too, is everybody puts their

48
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:57.439
own meaning to stuff. And there's so many things that

49
00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:01.199
people could say let me out to nowadays, you know.

50
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.479
And as far as the other song, I'm tired all

51
00:03:04.520 --> 00:03:08.599
the time, Well, listen, I don't know how you can

52
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:11.639
even be a musician today. Like you know, back in

53
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:15.439
the day, if you were a musician, you're fucked off

54
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:20.919
your party, sex and all that, and people would cheer

55
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:25.000
you on. Nowadays, you know, you don't have record labels

56
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:28.919
throwing that silly money at people, so you have to

57
00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:32.400
work all the time. Is such hard work being a

58
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:36.080
musician nowadays. You have so much to compete with, Like

59
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:40.080
there's so many bands and people don't even give you

60
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.240
consider a short attention span, that the amount of time

61
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:50.039
that's necessary, and so yeah, I mean that is definitely

62
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.280
you know, like some of my favorite songs. Perfect example,

63
00:03:55.039 --> 00:04:01.680
I was doing coverage at we can call it at

64
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:09.919
Hell's Heroes and you know, it's Udo was there and

65
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:13.199
I heard the beginning of his set and it took

66
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.759
me only one second to know what song it was.

67
00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:20.000
But that first ten seconds is something that nowadays kids

68
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:23.920
probably wouldn't even listen to, And that was fast as

69
00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:29.160
a shark, and when it's starting to be a dude,

70
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.040
most kids nowadays would probably go to the next track after

71
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:34.920
hearing that, and they would miss one of the best

72
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:35.519
songs ever.

73
00:04:35.959 --> 00:04:37.959
Yeah, I listened to all types of crazy shit. I

74
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.240
was to this day. To this day, I listened to

75
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.639
my favorite pink floid EP with Animals.

76
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:46.800
Right nice.

77
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.519
I love that and I'll be putting it on and

78
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:50.959
people be like, what are you listening to?

79
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:52.879
And I'm like, are you out of your mind? This

80
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:53.920
is music, man.

81
00:04:54.439 --> 00:05:01.079
That album specifically has given me insight to all my

82
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.959
bad choices of women for the rest of my life.

83
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:08.560
And I'll tell you why. Because Okay, So I was

84
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:14.199
twelve years old. My dad's business part had two stepdaughters.

85
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:18.839
Both of them were super hot. Okay, one was thirteen,

86
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.399
one was eleven. The thirteen year old she was like,

87
00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.160
I was still kind of geeky. I wasn't even really

88
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:29.120
that cool yet, Like I was still you know, I

89
00:05:29.199 --> 00:05:32.079
was still kind of like that, you know, you're on

90
00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:37.120
that border of geekiness and cool them at that twelve

91
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.040
year old bark right in that.

92
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.839
Mix of puberty when it's starting to hit exactly that.

93
00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:48.519
Okay, So she turned me on to that album Animals,

94
00:05:49.319 --> 00:05:52.279
and to this day, I can't listen to that album

95
00:05:52.319 --> 00:05:54.959
without thinking about her. Now, the funny part about the

96
00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.120
story is I had a total crush arm massive, but

97
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:04.160
she was thirteen. I'm twelve. That wasn't happening her boyfriend

98
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:08.720
was some dude van who was seventeen or eighteen, you know,

99
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:16.720
like that type that that situation, yeap. And she also,

100
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:24.240
you know, she was partying doing drugs. I hadn't found

101
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.680
that life yet. And then there was a sister who

102
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:32.759
was eleven, who was also super hot, and she had

103
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:37.879
a super crush on me, and I wasn't interested at

104
00:06:37.879 --> 00:06:39.120
all because she was too young.

105
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.959
I feel like that happens so a lot, like especially

106
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.480
or younger, the ones you were chasing are interested and

107
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.000
the ones that were chasing you you weren't interested.

108
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:51.920
In Oh totally. I think it happens to everybody as

109
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:57.279
adults too. But here's the best part. Okay, so the

110
00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:03.240
older one she ended up like a heroin, addict, prostitute,

111
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:08.040
all these things, like I dodged the bullet that her

112
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:11.600
not liking me, and yet it is sad where but

113
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.680
karma is a bitch and somebody up there as a

114
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:19.839
sense of humor because the younger one she became a

115
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:23.360
famous supermodel and that's the one I turned down. So

116
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.399
it just I look at now, I'm like that was

117
00:07:26.480 --> 00:07:29.480
the beginning of my wrong choices.

118
00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:34.319
Yeah, yeah, that's all thing I could listen to the

119
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:40.519
song the song dogs so much that seventeen minute masterpiece

120
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:42.079
has always been stuck.

121
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.199
Imagine we were just talking about this and lasts on

122
00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:49.639
the interview. Imagine somebody listening to a seventeen minute song

123
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:50.839
now like a kid.

124
00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:54.120
No, that's seventeen songs now exactly.

125
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.639
You know I was talking about. Imagine kids would never

126
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.920
listen to Daston confused because it was too long, you know.

127
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:07.720
And I think that's what's making a comeback a little though,

128
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:13.079
is that bands, you know, are going back to musicianship

129
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:17.600
m you know. And I think the young even younger

130
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.839
generations are going back to that too, because I have

131
00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.439
like two granddaughters that what they want for their birthday,

132
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:25.879
They want me to take them to get them a vinyl.

133
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:32.360
Yeah. Like definitely the hard too. The hardcore community tends

134
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.000
to be extremely just about the music.

135
00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.679
Yeah, right, total, and that's.

136
00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:41.440
Good to see, especially with the younger kids these days. Unfortunately,

137
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:44.159
a lot of it, you know, it sets yourself up

138
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.320
that you right now you have to just learn how

139
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.000
to be your own label. It's kind of like you

140
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.799
were saying earlier, because a lot of people aren't taking

141
00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:56.759
people and spending that kind of money anymore. And now

142
00:08:57.320 --> 00:09:01.960
everything's so oversaturated. But you actually have the tools to

143
00:09:02.039 --> 00:09:04.039
get out there, you just have to be able to

144
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.159
use them. And a lot of people don't want to

145
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:07.559
even bother learning.

146
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.120
How Yeah, and it's a lot, you know, Like so

147
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.080
you know, you go back to a day of the

148
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:18.039
tape tape trading days. That was fun. It wasn't a lot.

149
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:20.840
But like even what I do, I have to be

150
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.679
on all these different socials and it's like sometimes I

151
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.759
just want to like throw it all out the window,

152
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:28.879
you know, because it's like it's so much for you

153
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.519
artists to have to do. You can't just do like

154
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.480
one thing. You can't you can't do like Motley cru

155
00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:39.960
did and plaster flyers all over LA on telephone polls,

156
00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:45.279
and you know you have so much. It's a full

157
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.360
time job.

158
00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:49.440
It's a full time job, a million percent, you know.

159
00:09:49.519 --> 00:09:52.120
As a band manager too, you know, I tell I

160
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:54.840
tell my guys, I'm like, listen, if you think you

161
00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:58.120
can take a day off, you can't.

162
00:09:58.279 --> 00:09:59.960
Like they're not relevant anymore.

163
00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:02.559
No, man, if you take a couple hours off, people

164
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.879
don't know who you are anymore.

165
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:08.080
So it's it's it's so important to just be in

166
00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:11.360
front of someone's face constantly, right, And that's something that

167
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:14.679
my band has been pretty successful at with our like

168
00:10:14.759 --> 00:10:16.159
impact reels that we have.

169
00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.120
You know, someone crashes into a car and all of

170
00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.720
a sudden it goes to a breakdown.

171
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:21.039
Right.

172
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:24.480
It really punches people into your music. It makes people

173
00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:28.480
pay attention, right, And that's that's hard now, it's hard

174
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.000
to get anyone's attention.

175
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.080
Yeah, totally. And even from my end, like as you know,

176
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.039
because we met this way, I go on tour and

177
00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:40.120
I do media coverage at music festivals all over the US, UK, Europe.

178
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.519
There's sometimes that I'm like, maybe I'm gonna sit out

179
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.799
this year, this one, and then it's like no, I can't.

180
00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:48.639
I can't.

181
00:10:49.000 --> 00:10:52.639
You can't sit one out, you know. It's like otherwise

182
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.600
you're not unrelevant anymore the next year.

183
00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:58.360
Even me, my band doesn't even have to be playing,

184
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:01.559
and I somehow need to make sure that I'm there, right,

185
00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:05.320
you know, my band still has to have a representative

186
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:06.679
at these things, even if we're not.

187
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.080
Playing exactly exactly.

188
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:10.240
Now.

189
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:12.919
That's also the beauty nowadays is that you do have

190
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.720
people like Danny Wimmer. They're putting on these major festivals

191
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:20.480
and bringing artists up that normally win because that used

192
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:23.200
to be like it's coming back next year, but that

193
00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:26.679
used to be Osfest is like I remember I was

194
00:11:26.720 --> 00:11:30.120
at os Fest ninety nine and saw on the third

195
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:35.039
little teeny stage slip Knop Monday and in this moment

196
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:37.159
all on the little teenie stage.

197
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:38.720
Yes, it's it's insane.

198
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.600
I remember one of my things as a kid, You

199
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:43.840
remember hit Parader in Circus magazine.

200
00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.759
Totally my bedroom was.

201
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:50.639
Just posted in all those pictures they'd have so mud vane.

202
00:11:51.120 --> 00:11:52.799
Chad Gray is like my idol.

203
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.759
Nice, right, So when I got to meet him at

204
00:11:55.840 --> 00:11:58.240
Louder than Life and actually hang out with the guys,

205
00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:01.360
they're guitarist Marcus Efferty is a good friend of mine,

206
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.120
so uh yeah, that was It was a really cool experience.

207
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:10.200
And you know, Danny Wimmer, dude, you know, like their

208
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:14.919
whole community, they just want everybody. They provide really literally

209
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:18.039
a spot where everyone can just network and talk and

210
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.639
and help each other grow and form connections and relationships.

211
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:23.279
I owe.

212
00:12:23.320 --> 00:12:26.200
I feel like I owed Danny Wimmer like half of

213
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:27.840
our career, honestly.

214
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.200
And there's a lot of bands that could say the same,

215
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:34.519
you know, Like he discovers bands. The funniest thing I

216
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.480
remember is, you know the band Silly Goose right, yep,

217
00:12:38.039 --> 00:12:42.600
So I was trying to remember which festival it was.

218
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:46.480
I'm pretty sure all of them, but the first one

219
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:51.399
that they crash okay like old school punk bands used

220
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.559
to do. Yeah, just pulled up and they played in

221
00:12:55.600 --> 00:13:00.679
the parking area without permission and Wimmer was sitting there

222
00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.840
with arms folded watching them.

223
00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:03.440
Yep.

224
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.399
Next day they were on the stage yep, on a

225
00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.480
real stage. And they've been on festivals ever since.

226
00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:13.639
Yeah, they're so sick. I remember seeing that happen. And

227
00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:19.080
then we ended up playing the festival Incarceration. We played

228
00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:23.919
the small stage, but they they played the campgrounds, the

229
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.840
campground stage, and they just had they had people hanging

230
00:13:27.919 --> 00:13:30.639
in trees. Dude, it was a party out there.

231
00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:31.240
Oh yeah.

232
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.080
And those yeah, they're they're kind of like even for

233
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:35.320
being younger, like.

234
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:37.759
They're definitely an inspiration to people who are older.

235
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:39.960
I feel like too, man, getting out there and really

236
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:41.279
getting back to the roots of.

237
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:44.440
Just we're gonna play whether the fuck you like it

238
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:44.720
or not.

239
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.679
Yeah, And you know, it is funny because they used

240
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:53.399
to they they were before the Danny Wimer thing. They

241
00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:57.679
were going on tour doing this, like they didn't. It

242
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:01.200
wasn't a tour that was booked. That was just let's

243
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.200
get in the trailer. I remember I was covering riot

244
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:09.120
Fest and they were outside the venue promoting a subway

245
00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:10.639
show they were having.

246
00:14:10.720 --> 00:14:12.639
Yeah, dude, they were playing there. Well, I think it

247
00:14:12.679 --> 00:14:14.519
was Lollapalooza. They were played.

248
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.200
They shut down a parking lot and started playing there.

249
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.679
They got arrested in Atlanta for playing in a gas station.

250
00:14:21.440 --> 00:14:22.879
I have the shirt for that.

251
00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:27.559
Sure, yeah, dude, you know, good for them, man, it's

252
00:14:28.240 --> 00:14:30.519
that's the stuff you got to you know, it's crazy

253
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.799
that you have to go risk a criminal record to

254
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.080
get noticed.

255
00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:39.720
Nowadays, right right, you know, And there's so many bands

256
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:41.919
out there and so many are so that you do

257
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:44.519
have to go outside the box to get notice.

258
00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:46.000
There's just no choice, man.

259
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.559
You have to provide something different or be relevant, and

260
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.080
you have to if you're not gonna if you're not

261
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:57.879
going to hustle twenty four to seven, then you really

262
00:14:57.960 --> 00:14:59.879
have to have something going on.

263
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:03.759
You really have to be innovative in some sort of way. Right.

264
00:15:03.799 --> 00:15:04.559
Oh, So.

265
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:07.039
There's not really a choice.

266
00:15:07.080 --> 00:15:08.960
You're either gonna hustle like the rest of us do,

267
00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.840
or you're gonna come up with something that's never been

268
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:11.440
heard before.

269
00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:14.679
And then, and that is what you guys are all about.

270
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.039
You're you're the band headed into twenty twenty six. It's

271
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.240
like a freight train, all gas, no breaks.

272
00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:21.960
We we went.

273
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.759
We focused on touring this year, like we we the

274
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:29.440
festival route is amazing, uh you know, uh, but we

275
00:15:29.480 --> 00:15:33.399
can only we played basically every festival last year, So

276
00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:37.919
to go back, you know, it's not as easy or

277
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:39.720
that you even want to because you want to. You

278
00:15:39.759 --> 00:15:42.320
want to create a demand. You don't want to oversaturate

279
00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:44.799
festivals just as much as you don't want to oversaturate

280
00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.720
your hometown. Right, we were lucky enough to have Incarceration back.

281
00:15:49.320 --> 00:15:52.919
So Incarceration we wanted to get on the first one.

282
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.200
Dan Jensen picked us up for the next year, and

283
00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:58.720
then they basically gave us our own headlining show the

284
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.720
day before, right, so that festival in itself, we've been

285
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.799
able to build such an amazing network of amazing.

286
00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.960
People that want us back there. But you know, we

287
00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:11.679
also we had to take a year off.

288
00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:16.080
Man, you know, I hear you. You know it's like

289
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:21.080
it's funny because even recent recently, because last year was

290
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:24.840
brutal for me, Like I was at a festival every

291
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:27.279
weekend from March till October.

292
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.559
God, it's a beautiful thing though.

293
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:34.080
And it is fun Like I bring my daughter and

294
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:37.039
she'll be like, halfway through the first day of a festival,

295
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:38.559
she's like that, I don't know how you do this

296
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.960
every week and I'm done already, and I don't know how.

297
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.840
I don't. But there are some times that I'm like, well,

298
00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.039
you know that, as much as I hated it, that

299
00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:52.200
period of time during COVID was kind of nice to

300
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:55.879
get that little force break but still be able to

301
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:59.639
be relevant because you had no choice by that break.

302
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.960
That being said, after that break, it was like, oh

303
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.920
my god, I don't know how I lived for two

304
00:17:08.039 --> 00:17:11.559
years without live music, you.

305
00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:17.039
Know, I think my band was that's where we formed

306
00:17:17.119 --> 00:17:21.319
during COVID, So like we were, you know, lucky enough

307
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.000
to just hit the ground running when everything opened back up,

308
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.759
which is it sucks for a lot of people that

309
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:28.559
there was a lot of people that hit the ground

310
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:32.000
running right before COVID started, and yeah, he got kind

311
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:33.000
of halted.

312
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:35.599
I interviewed a bunch of them that they were like

313
00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:40.880
about to break out, and then that's it halted, like

314
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:42.519
you said, And.

315
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:44.920
Then if you didn't stay relevant on the internet, then

316
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:47.119
you just fizzled away totally.

317
00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:51.119
And that's hard work right there. So what else can

318
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:53.440
we expect from you guys for the rest of twenty

319
00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:54.079
twenty six.

320
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.759
Well, we got a bunch of music coming out.

321
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.839
We ended up dropping that together, and we've been kind

322
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:05.519
of thinking of just sporadically dropping music, right, like, I

323
00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:09.119
love it, you know here, Who knows, Maybe next month

324
00:18:09.160 --> 00:18:09.960
we're gonna have two.

325
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:13.119
Songs come out, right, who knows. Maybe we're gonna drop

326
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:16.160
an EP. Who knows. Maybe we're gonna drop four singles

327
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:17.640
in a month. Maybe we're gonna drive.

328
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:20.079
But I know that you guys are gonna just constantly

329
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:21.160
have music from us.

330
00:18:21.359 --> 00:18:22.240
That's something I do know.

331
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:25.720
And I love that you that's surprise hidden track that yeah,

332
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:29.079
thank Badass. Yeah. You know, stuff like that is what

333
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:32.240
sents a band like you aside from the rest of

334
00:18:32.279 --> 00:18:34.720
the crowd. And that's really what you need to do nowadays.

335
00:18:34.720 --> 00:18:35.799
You have to stand out.

336
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.359
We're trying, we're trying to stay relevant, we're trying to

337
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.720
hit tours. We'd like to get out to the West coast.

338
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.759
As far as festivals go, you know, we have a

339
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:46.720
few smaller ones this year. We're probably gonna aim to

340
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:50.119
try to hit Rockville and Aftershock, two places.

341
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.720
We haven't been yet.

342
00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.039
Maybe next year, right or maybe do the circuit for

343
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:57.119
twenty twenty seven. But this year, you know, we're we're

344
00:18:57.200 --> 00:18:59.599
leaning on a bunch of our own tours. We have

345
00:18:59.680 --> 00:19:02.839
a run with Autumnized Buried. We're doing a four day

346
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:09.519
run with We're gonna be going to Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, and.

347
00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:16.440
Juliette, Illinois outside of Chicago. Then we have a tour

348
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:17.480
right after that.

349
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:21.680
We're jumping on with Confessions of a Trader and and

350
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.839
Exit Wounds, where we're gonna be hitting the from Chicago

351
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:28.640
to New England all the way down to Florida. And

352
00:19:28.680 --> 00:19:33.319
then we're cool enough man to actually go play two

353
00:19:34.160 --> 00:19:36.440
shows with direct support.

354
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:38.079
For a pun a Burning Body in Texas.

355
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.000
Nice, and we're going on tour with Young Mash, bringing

356
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:47.000
them with us from from from Memphis all.

357
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:50.279
The way down to cn L Ray which is right

358
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:51.000
on the border.

359
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.319
Wow, very cool.

360
00:19:53.400 --> 00:19:55.359
That's gonna be really cool. And then we have another

361
00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.079
tour we haven't announced yet so.

362
00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.319
Oh so everybody's have to watch out for that.

363
00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:04.119
Huh oh yeah, one hundred We're trying to get out

364
00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:05.680
to the West coast sooner or later too.

365
00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:07.680
That's that's the next the next trail. We might as

366
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:09.400
well be traveling to Russia at that point.

367
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:13.000
But right, well, you need to tell everybody how they

368
00:20:13.000 --> 00:20:14.920
can reach out to you on the socials on the

369
00:20:14.960 --> 00:20:18.119
web so they can watch out for all these happenings

370
00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:19.920

377
00:20:43.119 --> 00:20:45.319
me and my partner and a few other agents, we

378
00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:48.880
started our own booking agency and management company that we've

379
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:51.440
been putting out there called the Core Collective, and you

380
00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:53.000
can stay up to date with that and all our

381
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:54.599
bands that we have over there as well.

382
00:20:55.240 --> 00:21:00.799
Nice. So I love it. I love your everybody else

383
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:03.480
check you out. They can't listen to my show, And

384
00:21:03.599 --> 00:21:07.599
let's say, you know, go some shows and buy some merch. Okay,

385
00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:10.000
I'll ban them from the show if they don't.

386
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.279
I need we need it, We need it well.

387
00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:16.519
And I say that, you know, jokingly, but it is true.

388
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:19.200
That's there's the only way bands can get out there

389
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.599
and give you a live show and new music is

390
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:27.640
through merch. Because surely a Deify is not paying you.

391
00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:31.160
No, that's how happened. But if you get enough streams,

392
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:31.880
you can make money.

393
00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:35.839
I will say that, Well, there you go. So you

394
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:38.240
gotta get out there, everybody, get out there, get them

395
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:41.400
enough streams, and uh, do you have any final words

396
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:42.200
for our listeners?

397
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:45.200
I guess that's it. Man just keeps importing the scene.

398
00:21:46.000 --> 00:21:48.559
I will say this, Uh, the music scene is in

399
00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:51.119
a lot of trouble right now. So it's it's more

400
00:21:51.160 --> 00:21:54.480
imperative now than ever to get out there and support

401
00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:58.240
people and buy pre sale tickets and make promoters feel

402
00:21:58.279 --> 00:22:00.759
comfortable that they can still bring people and they're not

403
00:22:00.799 --> 00:22:02.160
going to lose their house over it.

404
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:06.480
You know, no better words right there. Because there's been

405
00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:09.400
a bunch of festivals that are usually on the Pipe

406
00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:11.920
Man Radio tour that are not going to be there

407
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.559
this year, and that's unfortunate. One of them's one of

408
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.680
my favorites that it blows my mind. But state of

409
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:22.799
the world we're in right now, and that's punk rock

410
00:22:22.880 --> 00:22:26.720
Bowling in Vegas. Like, I'm shocked I found out they're

411
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:27.839
not going to have one this year.

412
00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:30.319
Yeah, I mean, well, it's kind of hard to do

413
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:33.079
anything in California when it's out that way, when it's

414
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:34.799
seven dollars a gallon right now.

415
00:22:35.039 --> 00:22:38.720
Yeah, no doubt that, you know, And people don't realize

416
00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:40.720
that's why I say they have to support bands buying

417
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:43.599
their merch because it's a very costly thing to go

418
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:44.240
on tour.

419
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:45.680
The merch is in.

420
00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.240
The merch is vitally important for artists. I sit here

421
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.880
and I tell everybody right now, is somebody who's deeply

422
00:22:52.000 --> 00:22:54.880
rooted as far as booking across the country working with

423
00:22:54.960 --> 00:22:59.279
these festivals pre sale tickets, pre sale tickets.

424
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:01.480
It's cheap. I understand that.

425
00:23:01.640 --> 00:23:04.880
Like when I say pre sale tickets, imagine I'm not

426
00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.160
talking about ticket Master Alive Nation. And that's those companies

427
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:13.000
with the fees have given a stigma to the smaller

428
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:15.799
ticketing companies that are trying to survive and the promoters

429
00:23:15.839 --> 00:23:19.559
that are trying to survive. If the pre sale, you're

430
00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:23.000
gonna see tours getting canceled and shows getting canceled left

431
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:26.000
and right, if there can't be some kind of compiled

432
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:28.519
data proving that the show is not gonna flop, and

433
00:23:28.599 --> 00:23:30.799
the only way you're going to be able to save

434
00:23:30.880 --> 00:23:33.559
that is by buying pre sale tickets for these bands

435
00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:34.400
that you care about.

436
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:38.319
Do not wait until the last thirty days to buy

437
00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:39.119
a ticket.

438
00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:42.240
Because by that time they might already be thinking about canceling.

439
00:23:42.279 --> 00:23:44.960
It doesn't even matter if one hundred and sixty people

440
00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:46.079
show up the day of show.

441
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:48.519
If they don't know that's going to happen, the show

442
00:23:48.599 --> 00:23:49.400
is not going to be there.

443
00:23:49.799 --> 00:23:53.359
Yeah, it's a bummer, and we need music more than

444
00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:55.680
ever right now because it's the best therapy there is.

445
00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:58.279
Yeah, Well, you're lucky enough to have people like you

446
00:23:58.359 --> 00:24:00.200
and people like me that are fighting to try to

447
00:24:00.279 --> 00:24:01.079
keep that happening.

448
00:24:01.359 --> 00:24:06.759
Right, So there you go. Well, you guys rock and

449
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.119
I look forward. You definitely have to be at Rockville

450
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.799
and aftershot because Rockville, well that's my home state for festivals.

451
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:19.039
But you know, you get the drive on the Daytona Speedway.

452
00:24:19.599 --> 00:24:21.400
Yeah, oh yeah, I've been there. It's really cool. Are

453
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:22.440
you Are you in Florida?

454
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:28.359
Yeah, I'm in South Florida. You're not coming down my

455
00:24:28.480 --> 00:24:29.279
way because.

456
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.680
The Yeah, the closest we're going to be to you

457
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:32.720
is Winter Park.

458
00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:37.119
Yeah, which isn't bad. It's a couple hours. Yeah, and

459
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.880
I would drive up there for one of your shows

460
00:24:38.920 --> 00:24:42.039
if I'm not out at a festival. So I'll have

461
00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:42.880
to look into that.

462
00:24:43.519 --> 00:24:48.799
But I believe or the twenty third, it's that weekend.

463
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:52.680
Oh, it's that the same weekend as Milwaukee Metal Fest.

464
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:58.279
Probably that might be there. We'll check, all right, We'll

465
00:24:58.359 --> 00:25:00.400
check it out because I would always support you guys.

466
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.960
You guys are appreciate that you're badass band. And after Shock,

467
00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.880
by the way, my favorite of all the wimmer festivals.

468
00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:10.240
Are you going to be a inc this year?

469
00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:13.000
I'm deciding right now.

470
00:25:13.440 --> 00:25:15.240
Uh, you get to hang out with me if you go.

471
00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:21.359
Yeah, I'm usually there every year, and I'm deciding right now.

472
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:23.920
I do have all my travel books, so I'm decided

473
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.839
more on the yes than the no. All right, but

474
00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:30.920
after Shock has the coolest media artist lounge you ever saw,

475
00:25:31.079 --> 00:25:33.200
Like it's Yeah, it's a lot of fun.

476
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:35.880
That's something I definitely can't wait to get a part

477
00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:37.200
of hopefully next year.

478
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.160
There it is all we're making that happen. We're putting

479
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:41.519
it out in the universe.

480
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:42.680

Man W four c Y Radio, and I'm excited about

505
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.599
this next interview. We got with some crazy good musicians

506
00:27:34.559 --> 00:27:37.200
and uh, some great stuff we're going to talk about.

507
00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:40.680
So let's welcome to the show. Rich and Marty from

508
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:47.240
the Freddie Jones band man so much. My first question

509
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:50.319
I have to ask, and I already know the answer,

510
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:53.039
but I have to ask, just for shits and giggles,

511
00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:56.480
is how come Freddy's not on this interview?

512
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:00.400
Oh? Man, I knew that was coming. You know a

513
00:28:00.480 --> 00:28:02.960
funny thing, you know, a funny that this reminds me

514
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.759
a funny thing about that when we were uh, you know,

515
00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.200
starting out on Capricorn Records and first going out and

516
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:14.240
starting to tour around and having to visit radio stations

517
00:28:14.279 --> 00:28:17.599
every morning, and they put a press release out ahead

518
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:20.880
of time telling people whatever you do, don't ask them

519
00:28:20.920 --> 00:28:25.240
about the name of the band. And so think about

520
00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:26.240
how genius that is.

521
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:26.799
They thought.

522
00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.960
They're like, oh, the guys will think that we're trying

523
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:34.960
to look out for them. Meanwhile, it's genius is everyone

524
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:38.640
asks the question, and so there we were. There's the

525
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.079
real story, and then there's all the stories we told.

526
00:28:43.000 --> 00:28:45.839
That's the part I love is the story because I

527
00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:49.119
never ask about band names. Okay, I know better than

528
00:28:49.160 --> 00:28:51.759
that too many friends that are in bands, Like it's

529
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:54.839
the worst question ever. But I just think it's so

530
00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:58.720
funny that you have a band with the name of

531
00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:02.680
somebody and everybody except person's famous and not even anybody

532
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:03.200
in the band.

533
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.279
Yeah, it was a college joke. There was a band

534
00:29:07.359 --> 00:29:10.160
before us, and they named the band after a buddy

535
00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:12.880
of theirs that wasn't in the band. So he was

536
00:29:12.960 --> 00:29:16.200
big man on campus and these guys they were friends

537
00:29:16.240 --> 00:29:17.880
of ours, and they laughed and it was our turn.

538
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:20.200
So we just took it a step further and we're like, well,

539
00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:22.880
let's just invent somebody and everyone in town will be

540
00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.200
wondering who this person is. And so so we thought

541
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:29.640
that story was very boring, and so when when people

542
00:29:29.799 --> 00:29:32.079
like you would ask us when we were out on tour,

543
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:35.200
we would instead come up with all these outlandish stories.

544
00:29:35.279 --> 00:29:38.240
And it was the first Canadian to cross like Michigan

545
00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:41.440
in an inner tube. That was one of them, just

546
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.920
the craziest stories.

547
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:47.640
So I go and I do a lot of festivals

548
00:29:47.960 --> 00:29:52.519
and this one band I said to him before the interview,

549
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.400
I'm like, hey, I don't ask you stupid questions like

550
00:29:55.480 --> 00:29:57.880
how you got your band name. And they're going, well,

551
00:29:57.920 --> 00:30:00.680
you're lucky then, because you see that all sitting next

552
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:05.440
to you. We we totally fuck with everybody that asks that.

553
00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:09.000
We different story every time. And the story we told

554
00:30:09.079 --> 00:30:11.680
her you had to see the look of horror on

555
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:16.160
their face. And so this band, they're called August Burns Red,

556
00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:20.200
and so they're like, yeah, well, when we were teenagers,

557
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:23.440
my sister she got this dog. We named it August.

558
00:30:23.680 --> 00:30:27.160
We were out in the in the street partying. We

559
00:30:27.240 --> 00:30:30.160
thought it would be funny to light the dog on

560
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:32.960
fire and watch it run down the street. Ergo August

561
00:30:33.039 --> 00:30:35.160
Burns Red. And they're like and we say it was

562
00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:39.759
straight face totally, And I'm like, that is the most

563
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:44.240
brilliant shit ever, because like, I'm all for messing with

564
00:30:44.440 --> 00:30:48.920
press people that ask stupid questions, even if it's me No.

565
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.680
It's just it's just so funny, especially when you read

566
00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:53.720
it in printing. Like you pull into town. You did

567
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.319
a phoner ahead of time, and you're reading this crazy

568
00:30:57.519 --> 00:31:00.200
story and you're like, oh my god, they printed.

569
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.720
We had someone introduced us recently that read something we

570
00:31:06.839 --> 00:31:10.160
can't update our Wikipedia because everybody changes it back. And

571
00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:13.240
he got up and he introduced us as a comic

572
00:31:13.359 --> 00:31:15.240
strip or whatever it says on there, which is a

573
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:18.720
complete BS And then he was walking off. He said,

574
00:31:18.960 --> 00:31:21.119
did I do He was a famous radio DJ, and

575
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:23.519
he said did I do good? I said, dude, all

576
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.119
that's wrong, but you did great. And it will be

577
00:31:27.160 --> 00:31:29.319
a sound check, and the sound guy's always like, hey,

578
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:30.079
can you get.

579
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:31.279
Fred Mike Fred?

580
00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:32.680
Who you know?

581
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:35.480
And oh, well Marty, I mean his name is Marty,

582
00:31:35.519 --> 00:31:37.519
And they're like the look of confusion.

583
00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:40.920
They're like, what Fred, Who's Fred?

584
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:45.200
Oh, let's see. You have to have fun in this

585
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:50.039
industry because you know, playing music's fun. Doing that stuff's fun.

586
00:31:50.240 --> 00:31:51.839
Everything else is probably shit.

587
00:31:52.279 --> 00:31:52.440
You know.

588
00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.359
The rest is the business end of it. So yeah,

589
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.279
you definitely have to, especially when you're doing a whole

590
00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:01.400
bunch of intern views. Like I know, if I was

591
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.759
an artist, like after the first or second time, I'd

592
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:06.720
be like, you know, fuck this, I'm just gonna fuck

593
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:07.160
with people.

594
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:10.880
Yeah, well get you get a little looney out there,

595
00:32:11.000 --> 00:32:13.200
that's that's for sure. When we were playing two hundred

596
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:15.119
some dates a year and just on a bus and

597
00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:19.359
I mean you we were like, we're basically a submarine

598
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:22.799
crew out here, right totally, you start losing your mind.

599
00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:23.519
I mean you really do.

600
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.799
And see now you're a moon space crew. Oh my, Like,

601
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.559
oh my god, how does that happen?

602
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:33.400
I don't know.

603
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:35.359
I really don't know.

604
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:39.720
I actually know how it happened. Somebody likes the band

605
00:32:39.960 --> 00:32:41.359
that's up there in space.

606
00:32:41.720 --> 00:32:46.799
Right, that's what I saw, Like they requested your song,

607
00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:50.680
and it is such a cool song to I think,

608
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:52.319
to wake up to in space.

609
00:32:53.160 --> 00:32:55.960
Like if you're go wake up in space to a song,

610
00:32:56.160 --> 00:32:59.240
that's a good song to wake up to because you're

611
00:32:59.319 --> 00:33:02.799
out there, you're like daydreaming, like it's not can't be

612
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:05.680
real when you're up there in space, Like it has

613
00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:08.720
to feel like a day dream for sure, or good drugs,

614
00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:12.240
one of the two. It can't be Like I couldn't

615
00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.079
even conceive it being up there. So that's the perfect

616
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:16.680
song right there, I think.

617
00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:18.960
And I think it probably at that stage where they

618
00:33:19.039 --> 00:33:23.000
were somebody I read this someone wrote something about it

619
00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:25.359
and there they said, what a what a great song

620
00:33:25.960 --> 00:33:29.000
to be looking back at Earth when they were around

621
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:32.000
at that point, you know, and the photos that were

622
00:33:32.119 --> 00:33:36.079
used for you know, the images for that that third day,

623
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:40.519
that morning Friday. Yeah. I and then I, you know,

624
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.799
I peeled the song off of Spotify, and you know,

625
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:46.519
you can choose which part of the song, and I

626
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:49.920
chose kind of the outro, and I thought, you know,

627
00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.480
it does it has a pretty vast feel to it,

628
00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:56.759
and so I kind of got it, you know, like, oh,

629
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:57.240
I get it.

630
00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:03.119
You guys are like the real life soundtrack to Star Trek.

631
00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:14.360
I thought, you know, my phone started. I started getting

632
00:34:14.400 --> 00:34:17.760
these texts like, hey, what's what's all this about? You know,

633
00:34:17.800 --> 00:34:19.920
those guys and the astronauts are listening to you in

634
00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:22.519
space and I'm like, oh oh, like, oh my god,

635
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:24.679
who put an April Fool's joke joke up?

636
00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:25.679
Like a couple of days ago.

637
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:28.639
People are just getting around like finding it or something.

638
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.280
And then I someone sends a link and like are

639
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:35.960
you kidding me? Like I literally almost fell off the

640
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.320
chair sitting next to a friend of mine, like you gotta.

641
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:39.559
Be kid me?

642
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:43.599
Right? It just blows my mind too that like this

643
00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.159
song is in a brand new song. Like the fact

644
00:34:47.199 --> 00:34:50.519
that they pulled something out of your catalog from in

645
00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:51.800
a different century.

646
00:34:52.440 --> 00:34:57.440
You know, that's InCred I think they're in the same age,

647
00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:01.039
you know, bracket as you know a lot of our fans,

648
00:35:01.159 --> 00:35:04.400
and you know, we have a very white, diverse audience.

649
00:35:04.440 --> 00:35:07.440
I mean, we're thirty five and up, and you know,

650
00:35:07.599 --> 00:35:10.760
Marty and I are in our fifties. And you know,

651
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:14.559
it was funny because Friday, I was sitting at lunch

652
00:35:14.639 --> 00:35:17.719
and the text message that I received says from a

653
00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:19.599
number I didn't have in my phone, says.

654
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:24.719
So cool that the astronauts are listening to in a daydream.

655
00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:26.960
And I was like, what is this?

656
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:27.719
You know?

657
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:31.119
And then I set my phone down started having a

658
00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:35.800
conversation with my friend here in Nashville, and the phone

659
00:35:35.880 --> 00:35:38.360
just started buzzing and buzzing, and I look and I

660
00:35:38.760 --> 00:35:42.800
somebody sent the tweet a NASA And then I.

661
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.920
Started to send it to Marty and he sent it

662
00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.480
to me first. So it was happening.

663
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:52.519
We're both at lunch on different parts of the US

664
00:35:53.119 --> 00:35:57.920
and texting each other, and I was like, it was

665
00:35:58.039 --> 00:35:58.760
so unreal.

666
00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:01.599
I'm like, is this real. And then that's the messages

667
00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:02.719
I've gotten all weekend.

668
00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:07.280
You know, you see the you know, the representative's a

669
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.800
NASA talking about the song, and people are posting it

670
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:13.559
saying is this real? Because that's the crazy thing with

671
00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:15.400
that AI you just.

672
00:36:15.480 --> 00:36:21.039
Never know, yeah, exactly. Wow, Like so you didn't even

673
00:36:21.119 --> 00:36:23.960
really know until other people were telling me.

674
00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.199
Yeah.

675
00:36:25.360 --> 00:36:28.320
And like for some reason, maybe because of where the

676
00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:32.639
mission was, you know, day three, early on, it was

677
00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:35.679
something to talk about, like, hey, they send music to

678
00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.199
the astronauts. It's just like a new kind of thing

679
00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.679
to talk about. And I don't I mean, it's just

680
00:36:42.199 --> 00:36:46.079
people were sending me videos of themselves watching CNN, you know,

681
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:48.880
with and and it wasn't just like they were talking

682
00:36:48.920 --> 00:36:51.079
about general music in general.

683
00:36:52.000 --> 00:36:57.400
You know, there we were I get really hearty on that.

684
00:36:58.239 --> 00:37:00.480
They just they just they just kind of on to

685
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:02.400
it and it became this thing, you know, like the

686
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.119
nightly News NBC, like people were seeing it on global stuff,

687
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:08.199
you know, crazy.

688
00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:11.639
I think we've had every rock star friend of ours

689
00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.719
reach out and say, what is just what is going on?

690
00:37:16.039 --> 00:37:19.440
And you know, it's just so surreal and you know,

691
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:22.280
it's awesome. From what Marty wrote, this song when he

692
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:25.639
was eighteen years old or something. I mean, this is crazy,

693
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:28.599
you know, and we're still going the bands that we're

694
00:37:28.639 --> 00:37:28.960
out there.

695
00:37:29.239 --> 00:37:31.360
We go out and do fly dates now and we're

696
00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:33.440
playing and this is the song they come to see,

697
00:37:34.119 --> 00:37:35.840
you know, so it's very special for us.

698
00:37:36.719 --> 00:37:40.840
That's so cool. And then of course your lay this

699
00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:44.480
single I relate to a lot because I've made a

700
00:37:44.559 --> 00:37:48.840
lot of bank deposits that don't get withdrawals in Las Vegas.

701
00:37:48.960 --> 00:37:55.119
Okay, see I saw that. I saw the cover behind you,

702
00:37:55.320 --> 00:37:57.599
and that's a funny story in itself. And this song

703
00:37:57.719 --> 00:38:00.840
is is so cool and I don't know, Marty tell

704
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:03.239
him what it's really I mean, this is I want

705
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:06.320
to hear the story of what the song's about. And

706
00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:08.880
then you know, Marty writes the lyrics, I'm like, hey,

707
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:12.119
what is this really about? You know, it's just like, oh,

708
00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:13.679
it's this, you know it makes sense.

709
00:38:13.679 --> 00:38:18.840
Well, well, that that song came from a batch of

710
00:38:18.960 --> 00:38:23.199
songs which before this one, a song Connected came out,

711
00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:26.039
and a song called Mirror Ball, and these were all

712
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:31.440
part of a group of songs that I was delivering

713
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:35.599
for an album, and that for whatever reason, we were

714
00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:39.320
going to tuck them away and use them for something else,

715
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:42.400
a different kind of project. And then that never came

716
00:38:42.440 --> 00:38:46.960
to fruition, and Rich started reaching out to me kind

717
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:48.599
of one at a time, like let's go back in

718
00:38:48.719 --> 00:38:50.840
and do another one. And then it came time to

719
00:38:50.920 --> 00:38:53.320
do another one and we're like, he kept pressing me

720
00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:54.920
on this song. He's like, we got to do no

721
00:38:55.000 --> 00:38:56.960
Money in Vegas. He's like, we got to work that up.

722
00:38:57.079 --> 00:39:01.079
He's like, that's there's something there. And you know, the

723
00:39:01.159 --> 00:39:04.760
writing of it was really about, you know, of all

724
00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:09.079
places to be with with you know, you don't have

725
00:39:09.320 --> 00:39:13.239
much a relationship. You're looking at You're looking at your

726
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:17.639
hotel window, at all of that glitz and all of

727
00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:24.599
the you know, all of that, and yeah, you're perfectly

728
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:27.320
happy without any of all that stuff because you got

729
00:39:27.400 --> 00:39:30.719
each other. And that's that's really what it's tries to capture.

730
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:33.400
I love that because the.

731
00:39:33.360 --> 00:39:35.079
Whole thing came together in a month.

732
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:39.079
By the way, Wow, everything the release of the song, everything,

733
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:42.079
I mean it, it was the song. I mean Marty's

734
00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:43.039
demos from years ago.

735
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.199
It's almost like you woke up from a day dream.

736
00:39:45.920 --> 00:39:52.920
Yeah, you know, and and that girl on the front cover,

737
00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:56.119
everybody thinks that's a that's our friend Andrea with she

738
00:39:56.400 --> 00:39:59.960
she plays with Moby and Shania Twain. And you know,

739
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:01.800
she's a friend of mine that just happened to be

740
00:40:02.119 --> 00:40:04.400
on the phone with me one day and and somebody

741
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:06.760
text and said, man, we need a really good looking

742
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:07.719
girl for the front cover.

743
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.400
Oh she is totally hot. She's whispering in my ear

744
00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:14.519
as we're interviewing, like she's she's telling me what to

745
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:15.280
say to you guys.

746
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:18.519
Literally literally I was on the phone with her and

747
00:40:18.559 --> 00:40:20.960
I said, hey, do you have any photos that we

748
00:40:21.039 --> 00:40:23.559
could use? And so that photo is actually just a

749
00:40:23.639 --> 00:40:26.599
photo that was taken backstage at a moment.

750
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:30.639
That's such a Vegas photo though, right, Yeah, it's perfect

751
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:34.480
like that you couldn't have like had her if you

752
00:40:34.800 --> 00:40:39.559
coached or done better, you know, like it was perfect.

753
00:40:40.440 --> 00:40:43.920
I love it. I love it. So now how do

754
00:40:44.000 --> 00:40:47.119
you top all this? Like there's a lot of twenty

755
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:50.719
twenty six coming, you know, you got you have some

756
00:40:50.960 --> 00:40:52.519
high bars to now top.

757
00:40:54.280 --> 00:40:56.960
Well, there's always Marr, there's always Mark Yeah.

758
00:40:57.280 --> 00:41:00.320
Yeah, I mean we are playing some shows year.

759
00:41:01.039 --> 00:41:03.960
Yeah yeah, well I know. One way the top it

760
00:41:04.639 --> 00:41:08.480
is that you just found out that you're playing Summer

761
00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:14.360
Fest yep, right in June. So that's pretty badass because

762
00:41:14.639 --> 00:41:16.519
that's a badass festival in Milwaukee.

763
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.079
We've played it a lot, and we have a great

764
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:23.440
relationship with the Summerfest people and they are fans of

765
00:41:23.519 --> 00:41:26.119
the band. They've been so supportive of us in every way.

766
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:30.119
Our time slot this year is amazing. Saturday, I think

767
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:31.679
we're at seven thirty pm.

768
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.599
Oh my god, that's like prime time right there.

769
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:35.119
Yeah.

770
00:41:36.039 --> 00:41:40.400
Yeah, yeah, normally we play Thursday or Friday or something.

771
00:41:40.480 --> 00:41:43.079
But I mean that we've never had a bad Summer Fest.

772
00:41:43.199 --> 00:41:44.000
It's incredible.

773
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:50.119
That's see, that's cool, Like I really want to It's

774
00:41:50.199 --> 00:41:52.599
kind of still in that you know, the Wheelhouse. The

775
00:41:53.400 --> 00:41:56.519
geographically it's in that that zone is close enough to

776
00:41:56.599 --> 00:41:58.320
Chicago and everyone goes up.

777
00:41:58.360 --> 00:41:58.960
Oh totally.

778
00:41:59.679 --> 00:41:59.840
Yeah.

779
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:05.159
And I always love to hear when artists praise festivals

780
00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:09.280
because there's people that run good festivals and there's people

781
00:42:09.400 --> 00:42:11.920
that don't run good festivals. So I always like to

782
00:42:11.960 --> 00:42:14.440
hear when the artists like have nothing but good things

783
00:42:14.480 --> 00:42:17.639
to say, because if you treat the artists right, I

784
00:42:17.800 --> 00:42:20.960
think that's when an arts when a festival is a success.

785
00:42:21.639 --> 00:42:24.079
Yeah, they've they've been not only wonderful to us. I

786
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:28.440
mean it's tough. We're independent band the past eleven years. Yeah,

787
00:42:28.440 --> 00:42:30.840
and to get on some of those festivals, you know,

788
00:42:30.920 --> 00:42:33.239
you have to have that, you have to have that

789
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:36.800
big management or that that agent that's got the poll.

790
00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:39.679
And we we can go with any band. I mean,

791
00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:41.760
we could play with rock bands, we could play with

792
00:42:41.960 --> 00:42:44.079
we could play with anyone. I mean the band is

793
00:42:44.719 --> 00:42:48.119
we definitely take this serious and you know we're excited

794
00:42:48.159 --> 00:42:48.480
about it.

795
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:49.559
We go there to rock out.

796
00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:52.679
I mean bands changed a lot since the initial and

797
00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:57.400
a daydream, right, but without that song, we wouldn't be

798
00:42:57.480 --> 00:42:57.960
here right now.

799
00:42:58.000 --> 00:43:00.119
And yeah, I know it, and I think Marty though.

800
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:04.480
Yeah, well every band has that song, right, there's at

801
00:43:04.599 --> 00:43:07.960
least that one song that everybody just remembers, you know,

802
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:12.440
and everybody's like they associate you with that song. Or

803
00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:16.079
I love when I'm at festivals and I'm with people

804
00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:19.760
that they're like, oh, I know they played that song.

805
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.960
They like Incubus. That's one of those bands that I've

806
00:43:24.039 --> 00:43:26.440
been with people and it's like every song that comes on,

807
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:31.119
Oh that's Incubus, Oh that's Incubit, and it's like, I

808
00:43:31.119 --> 00:43:33.800
don't know ten different songs they'll say that about and

809
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:37.519
I'm like, see that, to me, that is a great

810
00:43:37.679 --> 00:43:41.239
song because like people just never forget it. Whether they

811
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:43.840
forget who it is or not, it doesn't matter. They

812
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:47.159
just don't forget the song. And that's what's cool. And

813
00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:51.840
now you're up in space like, I don't know, that's

814
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:55.360
I'm sure you guys are on cloud nine when you

815
00:43:55.599 --> 00:43:59.000
when you start hearing that after the confusion settled and

816
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:00.320
you realize it was real.

817
00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:08.039
Yeah, somebody, somebody said, you know, for that one day, man,

818
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:10.800
we might have been the most talked about band on

819
00:44:10.880 --> 00:44:11.760
the planet.

820
00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:13.199
For one day.

821
00:44:14.760 --> 00:44:17.920
Actually, our publicist said, I think you are the most

822
00:44:18.639 --> 00:44:22.440
famous or most talked about, you know, been in the

823
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:23.880
past twenty four hours ever.

824
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:26.920
I mean I could tell you what I got.

825
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:31.000
Every news I turned on talked about us. I was like,

826
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:32.400
what is this a dream?

827
00:44:33.639 --> 00:44:36.920
There we go And then I got the email from Seawana.

828
00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:40.719
I'm like, you don't even have to ask me. Go ahead, boocket,

829
00:44:44.199 --> 00:44:46.800
Like it's just such a cool story. How many bands

830
00:44:46.880 --> 00:44:50.159
can you interview that their music was played on the

831
00:44:50.199 --> 00:44:54.360
way to the moon, Just saying I've done over three

832
00:44:54.440 --> 00:45:00.840
thousand interviews. I think this is the first, Yeah, you know,

833
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:01.920
I sang.

834
00:45:01.760 --> 00:45:06.119
The national anthem at Wrigley Field in twenty seventeen that summer,

835
00:45:06.159 --> 00:45:09.079
and it was fourth of July weekend, and I was

836
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.039
in the middle of singing that song and I thought

837
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.440
to myself, because they've won the World Series the year before,

838
00:45:15.639 --> 00:45:17.880
and I thought to myself in the middle of singing it,

839
00:45:18.039 --> 00:45:22.199
I'm like, how many people can say that they've sang

840
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:27.559
this anthem for the world champion Chicago Cubs. And I'm

841
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.039
thinking in one hundred and eight years, only the people

842
00:45:30.079 --> 00:45:32.719
that are doing it this summer, And so this feels

843
00:45:32.840 --> 00:45:36.519
so similar to that, but on obviously a scale, it's.

844
00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:40.960
Like, well, and then Wrigley Field, I mean, like I'm

845
00:45:41.000 --> 00:45:44.320
a Yankee person and I'm still like, you know, given

846
00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:49.599
props because it's Wrigley Field. Like, there's certain place at fields.

847
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.280
I don't care what team, there's certain fields. If you've

848
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:58.119
sang at that field, that's iconic, and Wriggly is one

849
00:45:58.199 --> 00:45:59.119
of them for sure.

850
00:45:59.760 --> 00:46:03.039
Yeah, So yeah, it was amazing. We did the first

851
00:46:03.079 --> 00:46:05.480
pitch there as well, and I think we're doing something

852
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.079
this year for him. Some of the people there in

853
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:11.440
the owner of the Cubs, mister Ricketts, is a fan

854
00:46:11.559 --> 00:46:13.280
of the band, which is really cool.

855
00:46:14.960 --> 00:46:15.239
Nice.

856
00:46:15.840 --> 00:46:15.960
Now.

857
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:18.199
See, I was a pitcher for nine years, and if

858
00:46:18.239 --> 00:46:20.599
I had to throw the first pitch, I'd probably be

859
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.519
so afraid that I was gonna beam the umpire or

860
00:46:23.599 --> 00:46:26.079
something or some fan in the stands, because I was like,

861
00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:29.480
you know, it's a whole different story, like pitching in

862
00:46:29.599 --> 00:46:32.639
the game, compared to being called out the pitch the

863
00:46:32.719 --> 00:46:36.280
first pitch, where the whole world is watching, I'd be like.

864
00:46:40.519 --> 00:46:40.679
There.

865
00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:45.440
And we walked out there onto the field and I

866
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:48.159
looked at where the mound is when you're standing out there,

867
00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:49.559
and looked to where the catcher was.

868
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.320
Go, Marty, can you throw that far? Oh, that's a

869
00:46:53.440 --> 00:46:54.039
long ways.

870
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:58.559
I'm standing there on the third base line like looking

871
00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.199
over at it. I'm like, that's nothing. I don't see

872
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:04.320
the big deal with this at all. And the guy,

873
00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.639
our guy Max, who runs all the field activities, it

874
00:47:07.760 --> 00:47:09.480
comes over to me and he's like, so have you

875
00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.119
been practicing and everything? You know, because I had sang

876
00:47:12.199 --> 00:47:16.199
the anthem before that the somewher before and I was terrified.

877
00:47:16.280 --> 00:47:20.039
I mean I was absolutely shaking terrified before. But this

878
00:47:20.159 --> 00:47:21.880
time I was like, oh, that's nothing. You know, He's liked, well,

879
00:47:21.920 --> 00:47:24.239
have you been practicing. I said, what do you mean practicing?

880
00:47:24.280 --> 00:47:27.159
What he's like in the pitch. Have you been practicing

881
00:47:27.280 --> 00:47:29.000
throwing a baseball? I'm like, oh, I have been thrown

882
00:47:29.000 --> 00:47:30.079
a baseball since I was a kid.

883
00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:32.039
Oh my god.

884
00:47:32.159 --> 00:47:34.320
He's like, I'll be right back, and he runs over

885
00:47:34.480 --> 00:47:36.199
to the bucket the balls and grabs a ball and

886
00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:38.760
throws it to me. I'm gonna run down there and

887
00:47:38.800 --> 00:47:40.920
you're gonna throw it to me. And I whipped it

888
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:42.599
at him and he's like, oh my god, thank god.

889
00:47:44.199 --> 00:47:46.800
But I got out there on the mound. They announce it.

890
00:47:47.119 --> 00:47:51.280
I walk out there and I looked at home plate

891
00:47:51.480 --> 00:47:54.079
and I I'm like, you gotta be I'm shaking my

892
00:47:54.159 --> 00:47:55.760
head at the guy, like you got to be kidding me.

893
00:47:55.880 --> 00:48:01.280
That's so far. And he's like, I got it to him.

894
00:48:01.400 --> 00:48:02.000
It was all right.

895
00:48:02.079 --> 00:48:05.360
But yeah, he did it. He flung it. I was impressed. Man,

896
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:06.039
he flung it.

897
00:48:06.960 --> 00:48:07.159
Yeah.

898
00:48:07.639 --> 00:48:10.320
Man, that that would be that would be like one

899
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:13.440
of the most nerve wracking experiences. And it's funny for

900
00:48:13.599 --> 00:48:16.480
people like us saying this, because you know, with the

901
00:48:16.559 --> 00:48:19.280
things that we do, you would think we're always nervous

902
00:48:19.400 --> 00:48:22.599
and stuff like that. And you or we would never

903
00:48:22.760 --> 00:48:25.360
be nervous for something like that because we're so used

904
00:48:25.400 --> 00:48:29.800
to gain on stage or gain on mike. Fuck no, man,

905
00:48:29.880 --> 00:48:32.719
I'd be like, I hope I don't throw this ball

906
00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:33.280
behind me.

907
00:48:34.079 --> 00:48:36.840
I talk about I talk about that all the time.

908
00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:39.519
People think, oh, well, you're on stage in front of

909
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:43.079
people like all the time, so you must be great

910
00:48:43.159 --> 00:48:46.719
at public speaking. And I'm like, no, no, no, you

911
00:48:46.760 --> 00:48:50.559
don't understand. That's like scripted. That's almost it almost feels

912
00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:54.199
like you're hiding behind the music on stage and you're

913
00:48:54.320 --> 00:48:55.559
just it's just going through you.

914
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:58.280
Well, you go in zone. You go in zone, like

915
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:02.119
just like me anytime I go onto the mic, or

916
00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.960
I'm also I am a public speaker. Anytime I get

917
00:49:05.039 --> 00:49:07.360
up on stage and I'm doing speaking right before I

918
00:49:07.400 --> 00:49:09.880
go on stage, man like, I don't know I'm gonna say.

919
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.639
I'm going through my head blah blah blah blah blah

920
00:49:11.679 --> 00:49:14.199
blah blah blah blah. And then as soon as the

921
00:49:14.320 --> 00:49:17.719
mic turns on, like some switch turns on in my

922
00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:20.480
brain and I'm in a zone. And then I get

923
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:24.280
off and you'll recognize this. I'm like, man, I really

924
00:49:24.519 --> 00:49:26.719
sucked saying it. In my head and people are coming

925
00:49:26.800 --> 00:49:28.880
up to me, Oh, that was really good. That was

926
00:49:28.960 --> 00:49:35.079
really good. I'm like, really, I think people don't realize

927
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:37.800
that like most of musicians I've been friends with have

928
00:49:37.960 --> 00:49:41.280
the worst stage fright ever. Like my bro that was

929
00:49:41.360 --> 00:49:45.519
a head engineer at my station here. He was a

930
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:47.960
country in a country rock duo. He was in a

931
00:49:48.039 --> 00:49:50.760
metal band in the eighties, and I used to go

932
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:53.400
and have the pre game with him before every gig

933
00:49:53.519 --> 00:49:55.960
because that's the only way he could get himself to

934
00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:58.840
not have stage fright to get up there. And he

935
00:49:59.000 --> 00:50:02.199
was really good. But you know that's I think we're

936
00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:05.159
all our own worst critics, is what it comes down to.

937
00:50:05.679 --> 00:50:11.840
For surely, I remember us having stage fright a little.

938
00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:14.239
Marty was remember when we were doing the iHeart thing

939
00:50:14.360 --> 00:50:18.599
with with Maclamore and there was like this big long delay.

940
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:21.639
We're standing there waiting to play one song or that

941
00:50:21.840 --> 00:50:24.800
would suck. Marty and I got together and Marty goes,

942
00:50:25.679 --> 00:50:27.679
are you nervous? I go, for some reason, I am

943
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.280
a little, because it's like, what because you're.

944
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:33.360
Not just walking out on stage now, you like you

945
00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:38.159
were ready to go and wait hold on. So I

946
00:50:38.199 --> 00:50:39.840
could totally see that it happened.

947
00:50:39.840 --> 00:50:43.360
It happened to me, I don't know, a few summers ago,

948
00:50:44.039 --> 00:50:48.199
and it was it was Big Head Todd and the Monsters.

949
00:50:48.320 --> 00:50:51.199
It was us and the Samples, and it was at

950
00:50:51.280 --> 00:50:57.239
Levett Pavilion in Denver, and kind of unexpectedly, you know,

951
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:01.000
our three bands got together and we realized that we

952
00:51:01.079 --> 00:51:03.960
hadn't done this, three of us in so many years,

953
00:51:04.280 --> 00:51:08.079
and kind of unexpectedly, like thousands and thousands of tickets

954
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:10.920
sold and it sold out. And I'm standing there on

955
00:51:11.079 --> 00:51:13.559
stage and i didn't really recognize what it was and

956
00:51:13.679 --> 00:51:16.800
I'm like, I feel kind of weird, and this is

957
00:51:16.880 --> 00:51:22.000
a really funny, weird feeling, and I'm like, oh, this

958
00:51:22.159 --> 00:51:23.239
is stage fright, you know.

959
00:51:24.199 --> 00:51:25.440
Oh that's what that is.

960
00:51:26.320 --> 00:51:30.280
It happened so good, dude, I didn't even know.

961
00:51:31.079 --> 00:51:33.840
See there, there it is there, it is. Well, you

962
00:51:33.960 --> 00:51:37.440
