00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:10.400
Hi, you love them too, Yes, that's true. For see

2
00:00:10.560 --> 00:00:12.279

00:00:16.039 --> 00:00:17.199

5
00:00:21.039 --> 00:00:23.079

Wetzel and Chris of Attack Attack.

Nice and you're attacking. Welcome to Rockville.

9
00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:35.439
We are, we came here, we saw here, we conquered here.

10
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:39.920
Yes, yesterday I heard like monster trucks back there, like

11
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:43.479
riving up and stuff as rules, And I thought to myself, Yeah,

12
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:48.759
that's a tack attack invading. Welcome to Rockville almost. So.

13
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:52.479
We were talking about something before about alcohol and interviews.

14
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:55.719
So I used to do when the Black End Whiskey

15
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.280
first came out, I used to do my interviews. They

16
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.560
asked me and come over to Metallic Black Intent and

17
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.000
do the interviews so that the bands could taste the whiskey.

18
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.200
Had some interesting interviews, but by far my best interview

19
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:20.159
ever was Airborne, who were so drunk, like so beyond drunk.

20
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:23.439
This tracks that they were literally.

21
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:28.799
Doing an impression of announcing a Mets baseball game.

22
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:31.640
Interesting and they were good.

23
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:36.680
Oh and they were good like he's like and Mookie

24
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:40.159
Wilson coming around the bag and he's heading for home

25
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.120
and he's going and oh my god, oh my god,

26
00:01:42.120 --> 00:01:46.079
here comes the ball and at least safe and they

27
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:50.359
no Australian accent, just straight up. Its just like the

28
00:01:50.400 --> 00:01:54.120
announcer from back in the day. Wow right, you know?

29
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:55.959
So can you top that?

30
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:57.120
No?

31
00:01:59.159 --> 00:02:01.480
I don't know what it is about band guys and whiskey,

32
00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:02.959
but it's like you run into one, you go, hey,

33
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:04.239
do you do you like whiskey?

34
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.400
And they're like, yeah, actually I do.

35
00:02:05.560 --> 00:02:06.239
Do you like whiskey?

36
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:06.359
Ye?

37
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:07.079
I love whiskey.

38
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:07.799
You go to the next guy.

39
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:08.560
Do you like beer?

40
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:08.879
Yeah?

41
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:09.520
I love beer.

42
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.599
I don't know what it is. It's just tost together

43
00:02:11.639 --> 00:02:12.639
a peanut, butter and jelly.

44
00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.439
Did you ever see that meme about the eighties rock

45
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:19.199
star opposed to the rock star now? So it's a

46
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:24.319
picture on top of a rocker lying on his back

47
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.039
on the floor, passed out, Jack Daniels in one hand,

48
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:33.719
guitar in the other, and today some kids sitting on

49
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.800
his desk with the guitar, has lap and fingers on

50
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.159
the keyboards of the computer.

51
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.199
We're definitely photo number one were it can be both.

52
00:02:42.639 --> 00:02:46.280
We can do both See, that's the best bands if

53
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:48.199
you can go both ways.

54
00:02:48.360 --> 00:02:50.120
It's all about diversity and investment.

55
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:55.599
So tell me about the evolution of your music now

56
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.560
for Attack Attack too, because it's pretty badass. And when

57
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.800
I really love about it is it's unique instead of

58
00:03:03.879 --> 00:03:07.120
sounding like everybody else now and not like you guys

59
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:08.919
ever did. But I find a lot of the music

60
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:12.759
nowadays like there's this algebraic equation. You can play it

61
00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.520
just like this, especially like in the metalcore and it's like, no,

62
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:19.159
I think an arts should just express themselves any way

63
00:03:19.199 --> 00:03:19.759
they want.

64
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:22.719
Honestly, it's a hard thing. And we've put out three

65
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:26.639
EPs since twenty twenty. We also went on this quest

66
00:03:26.719 --> 00:03:32.439
of rediscovery, right and it's really really easy to get

67
00:03:32.479 --> 00:03:35.240
in your head about stuff. You're trying to figure this

68
00:03:35.319 --> 00:03:40.159
thing out and you miss the obvious. And so we

69
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.120
put out a couple of different EPs. We started working

70
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:44.599
with different writers and we're just trying to figure out what, like,

71
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:45.400
what is this?

72
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.639
Does this even belong? What are we doing? You know?

73
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:48.800
What do we want? Really is what?

74
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:50.319
It comes down just like what do you want as

75
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:54.000
an artist? And there's a million different things and pressures

76
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:56.000
and situations that come from the outside, and then we

77
00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.840
finally hit this point of just realizing and remembering what

78
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:03.599
is it about us in high school that made this work?

79
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.400
What was like, what was that X factor? And what

80
00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:08.639
it came down to was we started working on dance.

81
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.639
We got the work tape for that. I got ten

82
00:04:10.680 --> 00:04:12.479
seconds into that thing and I was like, this is it.

83
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:13.199
We did it.

84
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.399
I found it, and you know what, it was us

85
00:04:16.439 --> 00:04:20.920
just abandoning everything else and going back to Attack. Attack

86
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:25.360
is a chaos brand, right, It's a chaos band. And

87
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.480
the way that it got that way was in the

88
00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:31.240
early days. I remember sitting in Caleb's parents' basement writing

89
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:33.839
stick Stickley with the other guys, and the entire universe

90
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.639
did not exist outside of that room. We were just

91
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.079
writing music that we wanted to hear. And it's a

92
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.560
very simple thing to say now, but like, it's so

93
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.519
hard to come back to that. And we finally got

94
00:04:45.519 --> 00:04:47.839
to this point of our motto for this whole record

95
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.279
was it's just not that serious, right, and we just

96
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.439
need to get back to this point of we're in

97
00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:56.160
our thirties, we've got jobs. None of us need to

98
00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:59.040
be an Attack Attack, but it has something for us

99
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:01.399
and what we discovered was this is the outlet. This

100
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:03.879
is the creative outlet for us to just do whatever

101
00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.079
the fuck we want and to write the music that

102
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.399
we want to hear, and we don't have to explain ourselves.

103
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.120
We don't have to justify it, we don't have to

104
00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.160
have there. It doesn't need to be a reason. It's

105
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:16.480
just this should be fun and we should have a

106
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:18.160
really good time and we should be sitting in the

107
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:20.120
studio as we do, and.

108
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.279
We just suck it up.

109
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:23.639
Man, We're laughing, we're drinking beers. We rope in other

110
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.399
writers and we're like, no rules, what do we got here?

111
00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:29.519
We're grabbing random samples from splice of elephants trumpeting and

112
00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:30.120
random shape.

113
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.319
We're like, how do we make this work? Right? And

114
00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:33.639
so that's just we reach.

115
00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:38.199
That point of finding that very uncomplicated spirit of because

116
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:38.959
that's what we want.

117
00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.519
And I love that you're saying that, because first of all,

118
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.319
if you're not having fun doing this, you're in a

119
00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:50.680
wrong business. Okay number one. Number two, I think you

120
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.439
do have a little different attitude when you do have

121
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:57.279
jobs and you do have a way to support yourself

122
00:05:57.319 --> 00:06:00.360
to where you can sit and say I don't have

123
00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:03.399
to listen to anybody because I'm doing this for fun

124
00:06:03.519 --> 00:06:05.879
and whatever happens happens.

125
00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:07.279
Right, And that was it.

126
00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:09.680
It was just rediscovering that spark of we're doing this

127
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.399
because we love it, just we're passionate, we care, and

128
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.519
it was just really cool. The whole album process, we

129
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:16.360
weren't even we didn't even want to make an album, like,

130
00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:18.279
we didn't even get that far into thinking we were

131
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:21.920
just making songs. Like he said, we simplified it, started

132
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.360
making songs. Dance came out. He looks at me. I

133
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:26.759
look at him and I'm like, dude, I think this

134
00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:28.439
is it, and he's like, it's time.

135
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:29.720
He goes, we.

136
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:31.480
Should do a record, like and then this is a

137
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:33.480
big deal because Attack Attack has not done a full

138
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.319
length album and at thirteen years so we're in we've

139
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.959
all done EPs, we did EPs, and we're like, I

140
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:40.000
think it's finally time.

141
00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.439
And then it was go time.

142
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.160
Then I'm flying to Nashville every other weekend and we're

143
00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:45.120
hammering out songs.

144
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.439
We're throwing the elephant horns in. You know, we're doing.

145
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.720
Shit that we love, we really love, and some of

146
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.759
it's it's silly, it's goofy.

147
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.439
It should be right, it should be that way. Yeah,

148
00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.480
I'd fine. Like back in the eighties, record labels made

149
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.120
it too serious and it killed metal for a while, right,

150
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.759
you know, by make it too serious and too bullshit too.

151
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:09.199
The same thing happened when attack a Tech put out

152
00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:10.759
its first record in two thousand and eight.

153
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:13.120
Metal core was really silly at that time.

154
00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:16.160
Right, and it was brand new, and it like, honestly,

155
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.000
the whole genre for the most part, is just high

156
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:22.279
school aged guys just like making music, just be fucking cuz.

157
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.879
And there were tons and tons of really cool things

158
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.040
that came out of it. And the style, the culture,

159
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.439
the music, all of it was very not to be lofty,

160
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:32.279
but it was very avant garde, and that's what made

161
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:32.720
it interesting.

162
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:34.199
So we made it entertaining it. So we made it

163
00:07:34.240 --> 00:07:36.079
like fun to participate in because it was.

164
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.240
Just this whole third space that anyone could just walk

165
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.199
into and I watched it happen. It's kind of the

166
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:44.639
same thing you're talking about is once it starts to

167
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:47.720
make money, then that's when the outside influences come in.

168
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:49.720
And then you also you get in your own head

169
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:51.079
you're like, oh, this did really well.

170
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:53.360
How do we top it? And that's the wrong question

171
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:53.800
to ask.

172
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.720
And I really watched Metalcrep have this identity crisis of

173
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.040
trying to be something it's not instead of just accepting that,

174
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:03.480
like it doesn't have to fucking matter, right, And then

175
00:08:03.480 --> 00:08:06.160
it got boring for a long time, and then we

176
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.199
kind of went through that same thing where you know,

177
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:09.519
I don't want to say that some of our newer

178
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.240
music is boring, but it was an important discovery process

179
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:14.720
for us to try things and to try to fit

180
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.920
in different places and just go, that's not right.

181
00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:19.160
That's not who that's not what we do, that's not

182
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:19.639
who we are.

183
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.040
Like we're dumb and we like making stupid jokes, and

184
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:24.839
like maybe I want to dress up like a fucking

185
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.639
cowboy and tell everything say basically, just say I'm gonna

186
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:30.360
ruin the band and bait everyone into it and have them.

187
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:33.200
Fall for That was brilliant. I just have to say

188
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:36.960
that was fucking because even I bought it. Okay, even

189
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.480
I bought it, and I'm like, fuck, they got me.

190
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.679
What's really funny about that, too, is when we finished

191
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.080
dance and Chris and I just got to this point

192
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:45.559
we just looked at each other, and we just go

193
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:46.759
we can't just give.

194
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.639
This to them. They can't just have it all right.

195
00:08:48.679 --> 00:08:50.960
There needs there's a hoop needs to be jumped through,

196
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.480
a barrier needs to be gotten over. And we start

197
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:56.000
talking and he just goes, I think we need a villain.

198
00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:59.279
We need a villain, and I was like, you know what, Yeah,

199
00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:01.320
I'm just gonna take all that. It's exactly what we

200
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.960
did in the early days when people called us Crab Corp.

201
00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.960
That was meant to be bad, right, they would making

202
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.200
fun of us, and we made T shirts out of it.

203
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:11.440
See I love that too, you know what I mean.

204
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.000
And we owned it and we were like, that's cool.

205
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.759
That's a sick brand, thank you, and then basically just

206
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.320
printed money off of it. So we get to this

207
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.440
thing now where it's like, you guys are just all

208
00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.240
the negative things, and so we just look at each

209
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:24.320
other and we're like, let's gass it up. Let's make

210
00:09:24.360 --> 00:09:27.200
them believe it, right, Let's just confirm everything they think

211
00:09:27.240 --> 00:09:27.559
they know.

212
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:30.879
About it, and let's take it. Yeah, let's take it

213
00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:33.600
to a thousand and just see what happens.

214
00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:37.399
It's almost like, instead of letting you know, the haters

215
00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:38.799
kind of dictate what we're doing.

216
00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:41.720
They're almost helping us write the story. I know, you

217
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:43.639
know what I mean. So they say something and we're

218
00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:44.360
gonna run with it.

219
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.200
That's better.

220
00:09:45.639 --> 00:09:47.399
We're gonna run with it, and we're gonna make it

221
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:49.840
really funny and entertaining. And that's exactly what we did.

222
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.360
We threw him in a cowboy hat and we got

223
00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:53.799
them up there. He's throwing money in Los Angeles at

224
00:09:53.840 --> 00:09:55.120
the and everyone's mad.

225
00:09:55.559 --> 00:09:58.879
They're like, how could you do this? You're destroying the brand.

226
00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.120
What I've played the cun song for the audience.

227
00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:02.919
I only ended up doing about twenty seconds of but

228
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:04.919
there was this kid in the front that was so

229
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:09.759
he's screaming, fuck you, like and I just see the venom. Yeah,

230
00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.279
he just like he wanted me dead right there, and

231
00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.639
I'm a cowboy boots, I got the hat, I got

232
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:18.080
that dead, the dazzled boot, bolo tie and shit, and

233
00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:20.440
I'm throwing money out there and it was like. It

234
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.440
also was funny because half the audience caught on immediately.

235
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.960
They're just dancing, and then the other.

236
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:29.960
Half I just see this insane look, yes, just bewilderment

237
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:30.600
and anger.

238
00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:32.559
And then I stop it and I'm like, all right,

239
00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:33.519
we got the content.

240
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.799
Do you guys want to hear the actual song because

241
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:39.279
it's nothing like this, and we got Will Ramos on it,

242
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:40.960
and I want to see that fucking pit open up

243
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:41.639
and we play that.

244
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:42.720
And I just watched the.

245
00:10:42.679 --> 00:10:46.320
Demeanor change instantly, right, And that's when I'm like throwing

246
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:48.519
the money, you know, I'm like, yeah, come on, this

247
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:49.080
is cool.

248
00:10:49.279 --> 00:10:54.279
I just think that's fucking brilliant. Like it's like, I listen,

249
00:10:55.320 --> 00:10:59.519
fucking with people is my second language, okay, And so

250
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.399
I see something like that and I'm like, that's fucking brilliant.

251
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:04.600
Like I said, it.

252
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:07.720
Got me too, It was entertaining to get me.

253
00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:09.440
That's pretty good.

254
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:10.559
You did a good job.

255
00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:13.600
What's even funnier, too, is when we launched that campaign,

256
00:11:14.039 --> 00:11:16.039
the other guys in the band, they're getting.

257
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:17.879
Literally hundreds of messages.

258
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:20.679
They're getting phone calls, text messages, dms and people like

259
00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:23.200
oh my god, I'm so sorry, like are you okay?

260
00:11:23.240 --> 00:11:24.000
What are you gonna do?

261
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.320
And I knew that this was really working when I'm

262
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.159
not fucking kidding you, Nobody reached out to me.

263
00:11:30.759 --> 00:11:31.879
Nobody like that.

264
00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:36.639
Actually, actually two and we're talking my longtime friends people

265
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:40.480
that really know me. Two people were like, what are

266
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:42.879
you up to? And I told him. They said that

267
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:45.320
they're like, that's your evil, that's so evil.

268
00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:45.879
I love it.

269
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.039
But yeah, it was like crickets for me, and I

270
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:49.519
was like, I looked at Chris and I just go,

271
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:51.080
I think it's working right.

272
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.759
Once it was up and we're like messing with you obviously,

273
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:54.399
and we have the line.

274
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:56.360
Then he's getting like blown up by everyone.

275
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.519
He's like, man, I thought you were having a mental breakdown,

276
00:11:58.559 --> 00:11:59.960
and that's like exactly what we.

277
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.639
Want wanted people to think, right. So it worked flawlessly

278
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:04.360
and it was a lot of fun to watch.

279
00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.480
It is funny too. Okay, So on my live radio show,

280
00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:12.399
I have the alter ego pipe Man, right, you know,

281
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:16.399
and I just laugh of how much shit people believe,

282
00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:20.360
Like no matter what I say, though, okay, it doesn't matter.

283
00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.840
Some of this stuff ends up coming true. Like twenty sixteen,

284
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.000
Trump got elected and I had some redneck on my

285
00:12:27.159 --> 00:12:29.559
show and I said, hey, did you hear what Trump

286
00:12:29.679 --> 00:12:34.679
just announced? He just announced that he's gonna attack Canada

287
00:12:34.879 --> 00:12:39.440
and she believed the shit out of me. The sad

288
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.639
part is here we are in twenty twenty five, and

289
00:12:42.679 --> 00:12:44.559
I like it was almost like a prediction.

290
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:47.159
The memes kind of right themselves.

291
00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:50.440
But the other thing, too, is we figured this out

292
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:52.879
a long time ago, and we've gotten really good at

293
00:12:52.919 --> 00:12:55.279
it now as we're older, we've learned some lessons. We

294
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.879
got a little bit of money now too, you know,

295
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:58.559
we can kind of push the boundaries a little bit.

296
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.840
But people love to hate and they're super dependable and

297
00:13:02.879 --> 00:13:06.720
they're very consistent, and they drive millions of impressions of

298
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:09.799
engagement for us, yeah, for free, and that is.

299
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:10.960
Like one of the best things that we have.

300
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.720
But also at the same time, I think it's important

301
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.159
to point that out, to just say, lighten the fuck up,

302
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.080
all right, Right, if I want to put on a

303
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:18.919
cowboy hat and get out.

304
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.960
There and dance around like an idiot, what do you care?

305
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:24.000
That's right business, I'm having a good time.

306
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:26.360
You need to join the winning team, all right, and

307
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:29.039
you need to just accept that it's okay to fucking

308
00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.120
smile and have fun and it's.

309
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.080
Just not that big of a deal.

310
00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.360
And honestly, it's a lot more fun over here on

311
00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:35.000
the winning team.

312
00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:35.559
It really is.

313
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:38.440
Right sitting here drinking beers at Rockville, having a great time.

314
00:13:38.519 --> 00:13:41.639
Well, they're behind her screen, still hating exactly.

315
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:42.679
Yeah, they're furious.

316
00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:46.799
I get it, man, people spend so much time and

317
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:49.080
energy in it, and I do want to fuck with them,

318
00:13:49.159 --> 00:13:51.360
like and the stuff that people believe. I'll tell you

319
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:55.000
a funny story I did. Okay, So my ex wife,

320
00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.240
the k I call her Thing one on my radio

321
00:13:57.279 --> 00:13:59.360
show because I have two ex wives, so there's Thing

322
00:13:59.399 --> 00:14:02.559
one thing too. And shit, if you ever met her,

323
00:14:02.600 --> 00:14:04.320
she would come up to you. You probably know me

324
00:14:04.360 --> 00:14:09.440
as Thing one. But when we got to where she's like,

325
00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:12.240
I really hope you find what you're looking for, because

326
00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:15.519
you're like the most romantic person I've ever met. I'm

327
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:16.399
just not into that.

328
00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:17.519
Now.

329
00:14:17.679 --> 00:14:21.600
Fast forward, okay, do you have to get another interview

330
00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:26.679
right now? Okay? Good? Fast forward Like ten years, my

331
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:30.120
door's working for me at the radio station. Her mom

332
00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:32.879
calls her and says, I was just listening to your

333
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:35.919
dad's radio show. We were married for twelve years. He

334
00:14:36.039 --> 00:14:40.440
was never that obnoxious. He's such a player now. And

335
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.919
then she tried to get back together with me because

336
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:47.039
she believed it. And I had all these female friends

337
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:48.759
of mine, like all my life that would listen to

338
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:51.200
my show and They're like, what happened to you, Matt.

339
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:55.279
I'm like, I'm playing a role. I'm on the radio.

340
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.320
I'm just having fun here, right, No, Right, come on

341
00:14:58.480 --> 00:14:59.519
fucking with people.

342
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.840
Where it's entertainment, it's not.

343
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.240
That's the business we're we find ten percent of it's real, right,

344
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.600
Like country thing that I did there, enough of it

345
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:14.159
is substantive and real in that I do live in Nashville,

346
00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:16.399
I do work in country music. I do work on

347
00:15:16.399 --> 00:15:19.519
the management team of a rising country producer, and so

348
00:15:19.679 --> 00:15:22.039
it is just fucking real, Like I've got the means,

349
00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:25.639
I've got the motive right, and that's I think people

350
00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:27.559
just have such a hard time kind of parsing through

351
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:31.720
that and figuring out it's entertainment, right, Like just you

352
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:34.000
watch Dune and you're not you don't, You're not worried

353
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:35.399
about what's happening in Aracus.

354
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:37.120
You know what I mean. It's I'm in a band.

355
00:15:37.159 --> 00:15:39.279
I'm the drummer of a metalcore band that's goofy and

356
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.480
stupid with a bunch of other guys that are like,

357
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:43.120
we should be goofy or its stupid or you know

358
00:15:43.159 --> 00:15:43.519
what I mean.

359
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:46.480
Music should just be fun and therapy, period.

360
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:49.440
Yeah, the world sucks enough as it is, Like, let's

361
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:50.360
keep that out of here.

362
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.639
If we can't know that, you know what I mean.

363
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:53.759
I even I've said in a few interviews, I have

364
00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.879
this philosophy. I've said on my show all the time.

365
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.159
What we need to do is we need to have

366
00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.639
a music festival that's for the whole world. It's mandatory

367
00:16:01.679 --> 00:16:05.919
for every human in the world to attend, and that's

368
00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:07.120
how we'll solve all the world.

369
00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:08.759
