follow you all over the world, or you follow me.

7
00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.159
Yeah, I think it's me following you, to be honest,

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:33.560
I think it is.

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.000
Oh my god, I'm so glad you're here a download

10
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.719
because you guys fucking are bad at and we need

11
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.320
bands like you right now more than ever, because this

12
00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:44.119
world is like fucked up.

13
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.359
It's a trip, man, it is. It is a really

14
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:46.880
interesting thing.

15
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.359
I've been thinking the past forty eight hours since we've

16
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:53.520
uh I shared our first trillionaire into existence, and and

17
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.960
just sort of the imbalance and the struggles that we're

18
00:00:55.960 --> 00:00:59.159
all facing because of this large hand of you know,

19
00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:03.039
you know, to say it bluntly, capitalism and and and greed.

20
00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:04.719
It's it's just an interesting time. And I think that

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.439
we were fatigued for a while, right we were like, oh,

22
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:09.640
this is fucked up, but I'm tired now It's like, Okay,

23
00:01:09.640 --> 00:01:11.239
I think this is so fucked up that I gotta

24
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:12.079
do something about it.

25
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.560
So well, it's funny too. You're wearing a Dead Candy shirt. Yep.

26
00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:19.319
One of the highlights of my press career was I

27
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:24.040
was Aftershock and Jello was in the pres stent. I

28
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.480
love that I talked to him for forty five politics

29
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:30.799
love of course, Like I don't even care what you

30
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.319
believe if you're talking to Jello b Offer about politics. Yeah,

31
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:35.560
it's a fucking family.

32
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:38.359
Yes, yes, absolutely.

33
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:40.560
What's seconds the stuff he was talking about way back

34
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.640
when we still have to talk about now.

35
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:44.000
It's it is, it is.

36
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:45.239
Uh.

37
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:49.519
It's fascinating to observe history, right and any whether that

38
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.239
be recent or you know, further past, and to understand

39
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:57.799
that once we actually start onboarding the lessons, once we

40
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.159
start implementing them into our lives, we can't actually make

41
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:02.640
the change. But what's happening is is we're experiencing so

42
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.799
much distraction and abstraction with the Internet. Of course, these

43
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:11.960
levels of artificial intelligence, identity lines, party line, all these

44
00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:17.080
things that are literally have been exposed as distractions, you know.

45
00:02:17.159 --> 00:02:20.159
And I think that once we start having conversations like this,

46
00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:23.560
having conversations amongst each other and understand that we actually

47
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.639
most of us want the same thing, we may have

48
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:28.400
different roads to get there, but most of us want

49
00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:33.719
our liberties, our freedoms to be treated as equals as humans.

50
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:36.680
And I think once we are able to allow this

51
00:02:36.919 --> 00:02:42.240
idea of identity to dissipate and understand that it's typically

52
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:45.080
the people, the worker, it's us.

53
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:46.159
I don't want to say us versus them.

54
00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:47.479
I know it's getting thrown around a lot, but it

55
00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:50.599
is us that we need to band together and find

56
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:54.280
a position that we can oppose these powers that really

57
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:56.240
don't have our interests in mind.

58
00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:58.800
Let don't give us as far as I'm concerned, they're

59
00:02:58.840 --> 00:02:59.840
all on the same team.

60
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:04.680
Yeah, mine, that's right, that's right, Yeah, absolutely and absolutely.

61
00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:06.280
Like we're falling for the oldest trick in the book.

62
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:11.680
Conquer Man said, we all basically believe the same thing. Yeah, man,

63
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.080
them that's making him think we don't.

64
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.120
One hundred percent man, I mean it quite literally.

65
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:21.080
Again has been exposed and exploited that these are literal

66
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.879
tactics that are put in place divide and conquer, uh,

67
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.000
pushing on pain points within you know, whether that be

68
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.360
an activist group or a social group, like these are literal,

69
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:36.360
like you said, plays being ran And once we start

70
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.199
to understand that we are not only smarter than that,

71
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:40.520
But we deserve more than that.

72
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:42.719
I think. I think we'll make better decisions.

73
00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:45.919
We will, And I actually have a solution to all

74
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.919
the world's problems here, okay, and you would be involved

75
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:53.919
if I could make it. Yeah, yeah, one music festival

76
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:57.960
for the whole world. Everybody that is not a leader

77
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:02.039
is required to attend. Wow, and then everybody just works

78
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:03.080
it out in the marsh pit.

79
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:04.199
Yo, let's go.

80
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:07.240
I'm in, right, I'm in, Like, think about it, I'm in.

81
00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:10.039
I can't tell you how many people have been saved

82
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.319
in my life from me going in the marsh pit

83
00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:13.719
instead of fucking them up.

84
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:16.639
And yeah, yeah, I actually made a comment about that too. Right,

85
00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:20.560
It's like a pressure a pressure release valve. You know,

86
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.439
it's a place for us. And then again, there's a level,

87
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.120
a very very visceral level of humanity that you get

88
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:31.319
to experience in the pit or at a show. I

89
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.800
really do believe that more people need to have this experience,

90
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.879
which is why we need to stop shutting down fucking

91
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.000
smaller venues and you know, independent venues and all these things.

92
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.000
They need to be nurtured, fostered and sustained for sure.

93
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.240
And you know, people that don't know about the pit.

94
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.040
They don't realize it ain't about hurting the Maymon people.

95
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:52.319
It is about therapy, getting your shit out, absolutely, and

96
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:57.959
a brotherhood and sisterhood. Absolutely, and like just you're getting

97
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:01.519
everything out so you are a better.

98
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.120
Perhaps absolutely absolutely. Look at the end of the day,

99
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:05.240
let's keep it super real.

100
00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:08.800
Evolutionarily, we're still animals, right, we still have levels of

101
00:05:09.279 --> 00:05:11.560
rage and frustration that we need to find a place for.

102
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:12.519
That's just the reality.

103
00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:17.560
And given that understanding, when we when we position or

104
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.959
color this rage is something sacred versus something that we

105
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:24.000
have to ignore. I think that we can find an

106
00:05:24.040 --> 00:05:26.879
appropriate way to deliver that and to express that.

107
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:31.519
Absolutely, tell everybody what else you got coming on the

108
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:33.199
rise and that they need to look out for.

109
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:35.800
I mean me personally, I'll be you know, kind of

110
00:05:35.800 --> 00:05:38.319
wrapping this up with let Live right Now, which has

111
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.600
been amazing. I'm currently working on my other band, New

112
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.600
Fever three through three stuff. I really, honestly, if I'm

113
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:51.319
being super honest, I'm trying to find that balance. Because

114
00:05:51.319 --> 00:05:55.600
I'm a father, because i am a son, because i

115
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.839
am a citizen of a society, I'm I'm trying to

116
00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:03.120
make sure that I nurture and I am of service

117
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:07.439
of those things as well, and then taking that I

118
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.160
don't know, that love that I get from that, and

119
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:10.519
putting that back into my music.

120
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:13.000
I think I've operated on a lot of.

121
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.000
Anger and a lot of frustration and a lot of

122
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:19.000
my life, and I don't think that's the cleanest burning fuel.

123
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.480
So I'm trying to find a way to strike a

124
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.920
balance and also incorporate more of a real, like I said,

125
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.360
like a visceral idea of love, not this sacarin, fantastical

126
00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:31.279
movie idea, but like a real idea of love, which

127
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.079
includes suffering, which includes hardship, which includes making hard decisions

128
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.120
in order to honor this idea of love that I

129
00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:38.399
believe in.

130
00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:42.399
I think that's so bad ass, because you're one hundred

131
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:45.720
percent correct, Thank you, brother. We call things love that

132
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:46.759
really aren't loved.

133
00:06:46.839 --> 00:06:50.480
I agree, I certainly agree with that, ye.

134
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:54.600
And I think that once we start to offer this

135
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:59.720
idea of true love to ourselves for ourselves, then I

136
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:01.519
think we can start to offer that to someone else.

137
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:04.600
And then I think relationships, whether that be romantic, platonic,

138
00:07:04.680 --> 00:07:07.639
or otherwise. Right, I believe that we will be able

139
00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.120
to engage in these relationships in a much more authentic way,

140
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.519
and certain things won't be as offensive anymore, certain things

141
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:17.439
won't be as challenging anymore, or they won't be as detrimental.

142
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.360
If we're opening ourselves up to this idea that love

143
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:25.560
isn't just always fun, it's not always joyful, it's not

144
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:30.680
always as amorous as we'd like. It is hard, and

145
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.680
that's what makes that shows us and reminds us what

146
00:07:33.720 --> 00:07:34.199
it's worth.

147
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:39.399
And once we can kind of see that.

148
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.720
I think that we'll find ourselves in a better place overall,

149
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.480
whatever type of love you want to get, I.

150
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:47.480
Think our biggest thing, the biggest thing when it comes

151
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:49.839
love or even anything that's going on in the world,

152
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:53.160
is we need to learn how to communicate as other.

153
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:55.879
That's the problem, absolutely, brother.

154
00:07:55.959 --> 00:08:00.879
I mean, it really has shown itsself the past ten

155
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:04.240
years or so the advent of the Internet and as

156
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.879
well as you know, politics finding their space within technology

157
00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.600
in the Internet, I think that we're seeing that communication

158
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:15.240
is probably one of the most critical, critically endangered tactics

159
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:18.319
that we that we have right now in these spaces.

160
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.319
