this is awesome.

11
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.479
I honestly just toured in Europe and it's like these

12
00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:46.159
types of buildings are everywhere. And then as soon as

13
00:00:46.159 --> 00:00:48.079
I walked up, I was like, I was not expecting that.

14
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.119
After the drive here and.

15
00:00:50.280 --> 00:00:52.759
Where you did you play any festivals in Europe?

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.640
No, just like a headline run. It was my first

17
00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:56.560
time going to Europe.

18
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.439
But yeah, I felt like I was back in Europe

19
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:00.679
when I saw the this building.

20
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.359
It's it's true.

21
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:05.280
It's cool, right and like in the middle of nowhere too.

22
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.079
Yeah, that's the way it should be, like, yeah you

23
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:11.599
need to play Hellfest. Oh my god, that that is

24
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:15.079
like the most insane like decorations and it is like

25
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:18.959
this in the middle of nowhere and they own the town.

26
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.200
Now it's started as it's stayed about the European festivals.

27
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:26.719
They started at these little teeny things, like vaking was

28
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:28.879
just a little teeny thing too. And it's like, where

29
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:31.480
is it? Healthfest is in France?

30
00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:32.359
Oh sick?

31
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.079
And it's in It's a town called clisson Nice and

32
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:40.959
it's and I surf, so like they're surfing like an

33
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:43.120
hour away, like some of the most famous in the world.

34
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:48.560
So like weekend, I'm at the festival. Weekdays, I'm surfing.

35
00:01:48.719 --> 00:01:50.200
That's the life right there.

36
00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:52.760
Surfing the pit, surf in the water.

37
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.879
Right, That's awesome? Right, all about balance.

38
00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.200
So I gotta tell you something funny too early in

39
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:03.000
the day when when you and your crew came in

40
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:08.960
here earlier, somebody thought you were Alie from bringing the horizon.

41
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.159
Oh no way, yeah, yeah, yeah.

42
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.199
That would have been a crazy surprise.

43
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.080
Right, wouldn't that be funny? I yeah, came up to

44
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.360
you and asked you for like an Oie grapt thinking

45
00:02:17.479 --> 00:02:18.520
you were Allie.

46
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:23.919
You know, I get confused for like every white guy

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.280
with tattoos. Ever, I've gotten I've gotten machine Gun Kelly,

48
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.560
I've gotten Justin Bieber, I've gotten Pete Davidson, I've gotten

49
00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:33.800
Wow Javis.

50
00:02:33.560 --> 00:02:36.319
Barker literally even sealed.

51
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.080
No it doesn't matter.

52
00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.080
I think it's maybe like tall, lanky, tatted white guy.

53
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:46.319
Well, your tattoo on your neck could be the logo

54
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:48.439
from That's My Spirit album.

55
00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.439
With this, somebody asked me one time if that's what

56
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:52.159
it was for, and I was like, no, I got

57
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:55.080
this tattoo when I was blacked out drunk before I

58
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.840
got sober, and I woke up with it on my neck,

59
00:02:58.000 --> 00:03:00.280
and it definitely wasn't from that album. I don't know

60
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.080
what inspired the tattoo. I was barely present, of course not.

61
00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:07.439
You know, how do you feel about that tattoo now

62
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.879
that you're not blackout drunk anymore? In you're sober.

63
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.199
I forget about it because I just have so many

64
00:03:14.479 --> 00:03:19.159
like dumb tattoos, so I don't really think about it.

65
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.719
But in hindsight, I would have gotten something probably that

66
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:24.479
like fills the space a bit better.

67
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.520
It's kind of a weird one to work around.

68
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:29.400
Like I've always I've been trying to think of what

69
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.560
else to get on my throat, and I'm like that

70
00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:32.960
fucking umbrellas you.

71
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.520
Do almost have to fill your whole throat.

72
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.479
Exactly, you know, yeah, and like put something behind the umbrella.

73
00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:40.199
It's just a weird shape, right.

74
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:42.039
But it is what it is. It's a story. I

75
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:42.599
kind of like.

76
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:45.520
The beer with the bear with the boom box.

77
00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:49.400
Yeah, that's one of the first ones I got that.

78
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.439
I just I found the artist had he did a

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.719
bunch of animals, and I just found a bear.

80
00:03:55.800 --> 00:03:56.919
Bears my favorite animal.

81
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:01.159
So do you know who's here that all so tattoos?

82
00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:07.039
The creator of Bob's Burger, No way, and he does

83
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:10.080
caricatures of all the artists. If he's still back here

84
00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.400
when we're done, I'll introduce you because he'll do a

85
00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:17.920
caricature if you want of you. Wait, that's so sick, right, whoa, Yeah,

86
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:18.560
it's totally.

87
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:21.439
He probably has a crazy lineup though. I bet it's

88
00:04:21.439 --> 00:04:22.079
a long wait.

89
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.240
Uh not today though, because it's been weird today, you know,

90
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.040
with the smoke and changing around everything. It's been kind

91
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.519
of weird, right as you know. Yeah, yeah, I have

92
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:32.519
to experience it too.

93
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:34.639
Yeah, it was a lot of variables today.

94
00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:36.720
That's why I want to ask you too. Okay, so

95
00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.079
how the hell do you perform with that smoke going

96
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.759
in you while you're performing?

97
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:49.639
I'm just happy it wasn't like a headline sixty minute set.

98
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:54.120
I mean after thirty minutes, I was like lightheaded for sure,

99
00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.639
and funny enough, my leg cramped up and I was like, oh,

100
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:01.800
maybe I'm like not getting oxy to my leg and

101
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.040
my muscles started cramping up. So like I stopped bending

102
00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.399
down and I stopped like moving around too much because

103
00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:08.759
I was like, I don't want it to lock up

104
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.959
and uh like make it so I can't sing. So yeah,

105
00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:15.680
I was like my leg was cramping and I was lightheaded, but.

106
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:16.800
Yeah, it's bed.

107
00:05:16.920 --> 00:05:19.839
It was also just like hot and humid, and I'm

108
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.959
I live in La now, so I'm spoiled and I'm

109
00:05:21.959 --> 00:05:25.600
a baby when it comes to anything uncomfortable. I'm from Canada,

110
00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:27.959
so I'm used to the weather like kicking my ass

111
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:28.600
all year round.

112
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:30.600
But well it's it's your country's fault.

113
00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:34.279
Yes, I mean, yeah, exactly, we're even beyond the borders.

114
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.800
We're kicking everyone's ass outside of Canada too, right right right?

115
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:40.839
Uh? And so how do you like living in La

116
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:43.040
compared to Canada, because it's gotta be a little bit

117
00:05:43.040 --> 00:05:44.000
of a culture shop.

118
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.639
Yeah, I mean I grew up in an area not

119
00:05:48.759 --> 00:05:53.040
so different from this area, like very country. I grew

120
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.920
up on a dirt road on like a farm, and

121
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.639
so yeah, going from that to LA is like pole

122
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:03.959
or opposite. But as far as major cities go, I

123
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:08.000
think LA having like a lot of green, still, a

124
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.040
lot of trees, hikes, like, it still feels like there

125
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.360
is nature versus like a New York where it's just

126
00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:19.639
like concrete. So I like it. La feels like there's

127
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.759
a lot of downtime and.

128
00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:25.040
Chill area diversity exactly.

129
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:30.439
So I love LA. I love the weather. It feels

130
00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.560
like a very special place. But yeah, it's it took

131
00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:34.720
them getting used to for sure.

132
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:35.279
Yeah.

133
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.879
And I lived in LA in the eighties during the

134
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.439
height of the.

135
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:40.839
Whole so that must have been sick.

136
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.240
It was sick, okay.

137
00:06:42.319 --> 00:06:47.600
Like so see, I sometimes get sad when I watch

138
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:50.800
either movies from then in like it take place in La,

139
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:56.199
or TV shows whatever, and I'm like, damn, LA just isn't.

140
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:58.079
As cool as it was, Like I missed.

141
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.639
It definitely is because I thought a moving and then

142
00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:02.959
I go back, I'm like fuck to four h five.

143
00:07:03.279 --> 00:07:05.160
Yeah you know, oh yeah.

144
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:09.199
And fuck Lax. But then it's like it isn't the

145
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.759
same man, and like that scene, thank god there is

146
00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.199
no evidence, right, Okay, because That's.

147
00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:17.879
The thing is that it couldn't be the way it

148
00:07:18.040 --> 00:07:21.319
was because now everyone's filming everything like it would just

149
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.319
ruin everyone's career probably, right.

150
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:27.360
Yeah, Like listen, I was thirteen years old walking into

151
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.399
the Rainbow with Motley Crue to hang out with Lemmy

152
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.519
and Ron Jeremy.

153
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.079
Wow.

154
00:07:32.439 --> 00:07:35.399
Like I look now, when I go out to LA

155
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.920
which is quite off, I'm like, how the fuck did

156
00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:40.839
I get into the Rainbow at thirteen?

157
00:07:41.040 --> 00:07:42.279
Right? Different world?

158
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:44.199
And then I'm like, oh, I was walking in with

159
00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:44.879
Motley Crue.

160
00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:47.879
Yeah, no rules exactly, Yeah.

161
00:07:47.480 --> 00:07:51.639
And it was an insane, insane scene. But you know

162
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:55.360
what's better now because I sat backstage, like I made

163
00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:57.120
friends with a lot of bands because they're all local

164
00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.920
bands that became big. Yeah, And I watched the record

165
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.319
labels what they would do to these bands, and thank god,

166
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.240
an artists like you today doesn't have to deal with

167
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:11.800
that crap. You can be the true artist you are

168
00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.360
with somebody telling you look like this, say like this,

169
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.959
do this, like you can't do that as an artist.

170
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:21.639
An artist, it's brutal, and it's like the quickest way

171
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.560
to just like I was signed, So I did sign

172
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:27.959
the Capitol Records at one point, and I was trying

173
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.160
to make alternative music, and at the time, alternative music

174
00:08:31.399 --> 00:08:35.440
was nowhere to be found in the mainstream, and so

175
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.720
they wanted me to focus more on hip hop. And like,

176
00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.399
it's just it gets in your head. You're trying to

177
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.200
be true to yourself. You're trying to basically be like, hey,

178
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:46.960
everyone in the world look at me, but I'm doing

179
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:47.799
something I don't.

180
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:48.279
Really believe in.

181
00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:54.799
So yeah, it's it's a really tough system if you

182
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:59.799
don't get into it with enough leverage to be able

183
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:03.960
to and your ground and call the shots when signing

184
00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.080
the contract, you know what I mean.

185
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.600
You got to you gotta be able to take care

186
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:07.039
of yourself.

187
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.600
But if you have no leverage, unfortunately they call the shots.

188
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.840
Well, like in two back in the day, they gave

189
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:20.600
everybody all the you know, musicians, all the drugs and

190
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:23.759
alcohol and the women, so they didn't know they were

191
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.080
getting fuck because oh yeah, so fucked up.

192
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:27.519
They're living the dream, yeah, you.

193
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.919
Know, and they're like high out of their mind. Yeah,

194
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:34.000
while they're getting their ship stolen from them. Yeah, you know,

195
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:38.080
so like it's probably kind of cool. You weren't in

196
00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.559
that scene for sure.

197
00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:44.080
I mean, yeah, I uh, who knows if I'd even

198
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:47.159
be alive honestly, like exactly, I'm glad I got sober

199
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:51.039
before moving to LA But back then, yeah, who knows

200
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:52.600
if I would even be alive. And I don't know,

201
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.000
you know, exactly how things would have gone musically. I'm

202
00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.840
happy that I had my success independently and now I'm

203
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.200
signed a position. But we have such an amazing relationship

204
00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.159
because I went and did it so much on my

205
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.639
own and was able to show up to the label

206
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.080
with like a thing that was working that I already

207
00:10:13.519 --> 00:10:14.879
knew how to run it.

208
00:10:14.960 --> 00:10:15.159
You know.

209
00:10:15.919 --> 00:10:19.200
See, I love hearing that when you know the record

210
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.759
labels you sign with, like, let you have.

211
00:10:21.639 --> 00:10:22.799
Some creative exactly.

212
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.679
Yeah, like cause my viewpoint is, yes, you need the

213
00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:29.200
business people, and I'm a business person too, but there's

214
00:10:29.240 --> 00:10:32.720
two sides to me, and to me, let the creative

215
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.240
be the creative. Let the artists be the artist. You

216
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:37.480
do the business then.

217
00:10:37.559 --> 00:10:41.080
Because the artist three shit is so delicate sometimes, like

218
00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:45.600
you can really fuck with someone's head and get in

219
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:47.519
the way of them making great art, you know what

220
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:51.759
I mean? You really want that to be feel pure? Yeah,

221
00:10:51.960 --> 00:10:54.480
so yeah, you gotta you gotta have a good relationship

222
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:56.080
with the people that you're doing business with because that

223
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:57.399
shit can get ugly bad.

224
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:02.159
No doubt. And as an art like, you want to

225
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.080
you know, experiment, you want to evolve in your craft,

226
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.000
you want you want to create the music you want to.

227
00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:14.080
When me as a listener, I can tell if you're

228
00:11:14.159 --> 00:11:16.559
up there dialing it in or doing what somebody else

229
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.200
have told you or otherwise, or I can tell you

230
00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.120
if wow, yeah, this is coming from.

231
00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.320
And all my success came from me being like fuck this,

232
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:27.759
I'm gonna quit. I'm just gonna make one more little

233
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:29.720
project that it's just for me. I don't give a

234
00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:31.960
shit if anyone likes it. And then it blew up

235
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:34.639
on the Internet and I love that. And before that,

236
00:11:34.679 --> 00:11:36.000
I was like I need a hit. I need to

237
00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:39.480
do this, like I'm I'm drowning, this is I'm going nowhere.

238
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:42.480
And then I was like, fuck it, I'm just gonna

239
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.519
make one more thing for myself and then I'll quit.

240
00:11:44.960 --> 00:11:46.159
And then it worked and I.

241
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.840
Was like, so shit, it's so true too, because what

242
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:54.200
I found and all the you know, musicians throughout the years,

243
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.440
is every one of them that sets out to be

244
00:11:57.519 --> 00:12:00.799
a rock star gets it for two seconds, yeah and

245
00:12:00.799 --> 00:12:01.679
then done.

246
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.279
Yeah, if you're in it for the wrong reasons, you're exactly.

247
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:05.879
The shit is not sustainable.

248
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:09.720
And you take the big rock stars, they have no clue.

249
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.879
The rock stars right, like, and that wasn't what they're

250
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.039
in it for. So that's why they are a rock star.

251
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:17.559
Facts were just real.

252
00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:21.360
Yeah, you know, And everybody wants to emulate the guy

253
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:25.039
who's just being himself. Everybody wants to feel like they

254
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:27.120
can just be themselves. But a lot of people struggle

255
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:30.360
with it. So when someone is so authentically themselves and

256
00:12:30.519 --> 00:12:33.720
just like being themselves in the art, everybody tries to

257
00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:36.120
copy it because they're like, fuck, yeah, that's the coolest

258
00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:38.039
shit ever, that's the most rock star shit ever.

259
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.080
So yeah, exactly. So here's a big question, why is

260
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.519
it all the Canadians I've ever met are the greatest

261
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:46.919
musicians and artists?

262
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:49.480
You said the greatest musicians and artist we got We

263
00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:53.120
got some like some Hall of famers for sure.

264
00:12:53.399 --> 00:12:57.840
And it's always like the bands like with only three

265
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:01.799
people a lot of times, you know, like you take Rush, yeah,

266
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.559
you take Triumph like it's three people and it sounds

267
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.799
like it's like nine people. Like it's slipknot, you know,

268
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.840
like they do that, And is it because you're out

269
00:13:11.879 --> 00:13:14.240
there in the middle of the nowhere, it's nothing to do.

270
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:15.320
What else is there to do?

271
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:18.320
But it can get great at you know, an instrument

272
00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:19.679
or multiple instruments.

273
00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:20.360
Yeah. Maybe.

274
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.879
And the brutal winter that you have to hibernate.

275
00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:24.440
I mean that's the major thing.

276
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:29.720
Like when I lived in in Canada, in Toronto half

277
00:13:29.720 --> 00:13:31.600
the year, I don't even want to go outside, Like

278
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:33.919
you're you had a bundle love just to go outside.

279
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.399
So I'm just in my room making songs every day.

280
00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:40.440
And it's like that's how you get good at something,

281
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.440
is exactly there's nothing fun to do.

282
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.639
And to your point, I'm originally from New York, New Jersey,

283
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:50.600
so I experienced cold weather. I did New York's Eve

284
00:13:50.600 --> 00:13:54.320
at Niagara Falls one year, and I was married at

285
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:58.799
the time, and like, I'm the type that there was

286
00:13:58.879 --> 00:14:01.679
no time I would ever go in or miss New

287
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:06.360
Year's I don't care how cold it is, except that time. Yeah,

288
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.240
we were like a half an hour from midnight and

289
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.879
my wife was in shock because I turned to her,

290
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:14.960
I'm like, I'm done, it's too freaking cold.

291
00:14:15.080 --> 00:14:18.000
Yeah, it's brutal. It's really brutal like that. Like when

292
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.960
it's hot missed wedding like that, it does suck.

293
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:23.559
And I'm not gonna downplay a heat wave. A heat

294
00:14:23.559 --> 00:14:28.039
wave can be gnarly, especially with no AC. But when

295
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.600
it's fucking freezing, like I just that's one thing where

296
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.600
I'm like, I love LA because I'm just like, I

297
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.840
would rather be hot and sweaty, go find a swimming

298
00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:38.799
pool and jump in it, and you know what I mean.

299
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:42.000
But like, when it's freezing cold outside, you have to

300
00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:43.240
be outside.

301
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.840
And you can't get out of it. It's miserable.

302
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.279
Yeah, And I live in South Florida now, and I

303
00:14:47.399 --> 00:14:52.440
laugh because there's so many people that when it hits

304
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.879
seventy five, they're putting on parkers.

305
00:14:55.960 --> 00:14:56.200
See.

306
00:14:56.240 --> 00:14:58.799
I think that everyone needs to live somewhere really fucking

307
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.000
cold at some point in the life to get some

308
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:04.559
perspective and like build, there's too many people out there

309
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:05.639
that don't understand what.

310
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:06.679
Cold really even is.

311
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:09.519
Oh they don't, Like I'm like, you got to go

312
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:11.519
live in Canada for one winter.

313
00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:14.559
Oh yeah, just so you can feel how.

314
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.559
Grateful I am to be when I'm in LA and

315
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.559
it's December and I'm walking my dog to go get

316
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:20.879
a coffee and I'm wearing like a flannel, right.

317
00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:21.200
You know what I mean.

318
00:15:21.240 --> 00:15:23.919
And it's like Christmas and I'm like just walking sitting

319
00:15:23.919 --> 00:15:27.639
on patios still, like I'm like I'm living the dream.

320
00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:30.440
And people don't realize how good that is if they've

321
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:34.120
never felt like walking literally across the street to get

322
00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.559
groceries and like you can't even smile because it's so cold, right,

323
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:39.960
you can't even use your phone. Your fingers slow down

324
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.600
from the they're like freezing, you.

325
00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:42.039
Know what I mean.

326
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:45.159
I don't even know how like musicians when they play

327
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:48.360
in cold weather, Oh yeah that tar or you know

328
00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:49.919
how you move in your.

329
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:52.840
Finger there's no way, like it's I don't know how

330
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.240
people do that, to be honest, I genuinely don't, because

331
00:15:55.679 --> 00:16:00.480
even just texting outside like you're in slow motion. Your

332
00:16:00.519 --> 00:16:02.679
motor skills actually just like slow down.

333
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.720
It's fucking no doubt.

334
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.519
So what have you done the prison tour or anything yet?

335
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:12.480
No, I have it. It's my first time ever doing

336
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:13.120
this festival.

337
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:15.879
Well that's cool, Yeah that I knew.

338
00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:17.200
Yeah, it's really excited.

339
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:18.960
I definitely have to go inside and check.

340
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:20.120
Out I heard it's really haunted.

341
00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:25.159
It is really haunted. So they have like this Blood Prison,

342
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.960
which is the Haunted Tour. And I always say, everybody,

343
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.919
you don't know if you're getting haunted by a character

344
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.159
or by a real ghost. Oh shit, there's some fucked

345
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.440
up shit that's gone on here. So whow I'll just

346
00:16:39.559 --> 00:16:43.080
tell you. I did an interview with Whale and Revs

347
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:46.360
from a killer's confession. He was also a mushroom ad

348
00:16:46.879 --> 00:16:49.399
and he told me he filmed the video in the

349
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.840
torture room and oh whoa nobody was in there except him,

350
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.919
and he came out with scratches on his chest, bleeding,

351
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:00.080
and I'm like, well.

352
00:17:00.360 --> 00:17:06.640
Yo, oh my god, right, they didn't they film shoshank

353
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:07.039
in here.

354
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:09.799
That's what That's why it's so cool it.

355
00:17:10.960 --> 00:17:13.599
I wonder, I wonder how many stories the crew of

356
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.160
that movie has.

357
00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.480
Because I went to college for about a year and

358
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:22.759
a half in Toronto. It's in like a.

359
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:25.319
It's at a at a campus that used to be

360
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:27.160
I guess they filmed the movie there.

361
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.519
Police Academy.

362
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:33.119
They filmed there, and it used to be like a

363
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:37.880
mental hospital, and so there's like tunnels underneath where there

364
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:39.680
was like I don't know. It was like back in

365
00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.960
the day, and it was probably like malpractice and some

366
00:17:42.039 --> 00:17:42.759
fucked up shit was.

367
00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:43.400
Happening in there.

368
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.640
And apparently there was so many people quitting on the

369
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.599
movie set because they were like no, I'm seeing like

370
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:54.039
they were just getting haunted and tortured by these spirits

371
00:17:54.279 --> 00:17:57.200
that they were quitting like a Hollywood movie set, Like

372
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.839
probably the such a huge gig to be like, no,

373
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:01.160
fuck it, it's not worth it.

374
00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:04.759
Like so this that haunted shit is no joke. Like,

375
00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:07.079
I totally believe in all that stuff.

376
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:09.440
So imagine if somebody took a picture out there while

377
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.400
you were performing and they put it on socials and

378
00:18:12.480 --> 00:18:14.519
you could see in the picture, like right behind you

379
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:16.119
a ghost with a trip would that big?

380
00:18:16.880 --> 00:18:20.119
Oh my god, it'd be sick though. That'd be the

381
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:21.359
next album cover for sure.

382
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.160
That would be totally sick. Yeah, everyone would say it's AI,

383
00:18:24.279 --> 00:18:25.000
but I would know.

384
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:29.799
Exactly exactly, speak about next album cover. Tell everybody about

385
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:33.440
your new music and how they can get your new music.

386
00:18:34.039 --> 00:18:36.880
Check out your socials, connect with you, and most importantly,

387
00:18:36.920 --> 00:18:38.960
buy your merch because they can't listen to my show

388
00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:41.319
unless they buy your music and your.

389
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.960
