This Matt Citizen Soldier is this Cooperjuanita.

15
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:16.120
Kyle Nice here at Louder than life or rainier than

16
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:19.959
life or but it's cool today. It's just like a

17
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.159
nice little Amsterdam drizzle here. That's what I'm gonna call it,

18
00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:26.959
because I was in Amsterdam for two months last year

19
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.319
and it was exactly like this every day all day.

20
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:31.640
Well, we can handle rain like this, man. It seems

21
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.719
like the further east you get, the less bad it gets.

22
00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.920
But rain out in Salt Lake is pretty brutal. It's

23
00:01:35.959 --> 00:01:38.640
a lot colder and heavier. It feels like the shit.

24
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.000
Nice. You should have been here yesterday. Oh I bet

25
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:41.480
it was worse.

26
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:45.519
Yeah, it was not fun yesterday. But we missed everything yesterday.

27
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:48.599
So thankfully you're here today to play because not one

28
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:53.120
band played yesterday. Hurricane Helene or whatever her name is,

29
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.680
she showed Kentucky what she was made of.

30
00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:58.760
Helen's not a rock fan.

31
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.000
No, I gotta say too, Like, last time I saw

32
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:05.400
you had blue hair and I'm looking at his blue beard,

33
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.639
and everybody always said to me, hey, you should do

34
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:11.479
your beard blue, and I'm thinking myself, but he did

35
00:02:11.479 --> 00:02:13.280
it the smart way. I'm like, yeah, I don't want

36
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:16.080
to eat that shit, But he did the smart way.

37
00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:18.080
Because you get ridvd of stuff that goes.

38
00:02:17.919 --> 00:02:20.960
In your mind, go meet to it. You have to

39
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:24.280
do it. So how hard is it to keep the beard?

40
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.439
I know how the hair is.

41
00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:28.080
It's a full time job now, right. That's why I

42
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:31.199
went back to natural color, because like, hey, it is

43
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:34.960
a full time job. So you guys got a brand

44
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.080
new song that just dropped recently. Tell us the story

45
00:02:38.199 --> 00:02:39.039
behind that song.

46
00:02:40.240 --> 00:02:42.400
Yeah, the song that just dropped recently is called to

47
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:45.560
Live Again. And I wrote that song with Johnny Andrews,

48
00:02:45.560 --> 00:02:47.560
who's a pretty prominent writer in rock. He's written with

49
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.039
Three Days, Gray, Sail Storm, a lot of big bands,

50
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.280
and it's just a song about anyone who's ever been

51
00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.680
in a place where they feel like they're kind of

52
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.520
stuck in that numbness, whether or not. A lot of

53
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.400
people that I work with as a therapist who go

54
00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:02.560
through horrible things, the way that they cope is they

55
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.840
just shut their emotions off. But you learn pretty quickly,

56
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.280
yeah that's me. You learn pretty quickly that that's not

57
00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:11.879
a great way to live either. And so it's about

58
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:14.319
that struggle of that moment when you're like, yeah, this

59
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.840
is a way to escape the ugly stuff, but the

60
00:03:16.919 --> 00:03:18.840
ugly stuff might be worth being able to feel the

61
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.000
good stuff too, And so the song's about that and

62
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:23.360
we're really happy with it. And right before it, we

63
00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:26.599
released a song called Burden that was number one on

64
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.639
the rock iTunes charts, which is the first for us,

65
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:30.960
which we're super excited about. So, yeah, things are going well.

66
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:34.719
That's cool, and yeah, how do you know that about me?

67
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.000
Like I do? I literally say that.

68
00:03:37.520 --> 00:03:40.080
It's like I have this switch, I just turn it

69
00:03:40.240 --> 00:03:43.919
off and it's like the vampires on those TV shows.

70
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:47.599
They turn off their humanity and then somebody specialized to

71
00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:49.479
grab them out of fucking hell.

72
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.039
What's interesting about that, though, and I talked to clients

73
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.039
about this all the time, is there's like this misunderstanding

74
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:57.159
about dissociation because that's what we're talking about, right, is

75
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.240
numbing out, checking out, turning it off. We're like, it's

76
00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.360
really just it's just an emotion, Yeah, it's And we

77
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:07.280
talk about grounding, and I think people view grounding as like, oh,

78
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:10.400
when I'm anxious or angry or stress, but there's also

79
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:14.840
grounding out of the low the blue emotions, sadness, hopelessness, association.

80
00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:17.800
And so I think it's really cool in therapy to

81
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.399
see people realize like, oh, there are things I can

82
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.920
do every day to like help my body. Know, Hey,

83
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.839
we're grounding up out of this numbness. We're getting back

84
00:04:26.879 --> 00:04:29.680
inside of our bodies. Because that's the way people cope

85
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.600
with their pain, man, is they just turn into a ghost.

86
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:33.720
They just leave their bodies and shut the emotions off,

87
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:34.319
no doubt.

88
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.040
And my other one, my other coping tool, since I'm

89
00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:42.560
like a teenager, is burying myself and work like because

90
00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:46.680
while you're working, like even this doing interviews, I'm not

91
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.759
thinking about any of the personal bullshit that's bothering me

92
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:52.439
because I just go into the zone and stay there,

93
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.519
and then later then it's okay.

94
00:04:56.639 --> 00:04:59.600
I can't tell you how many times my advice to

95
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:02.439
a close is you need to slow down, and you

96
00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:05.000
need to keep a log and practice noticing what's going

97
00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:06.920
on in your body, what you're feeling, because I call

98
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.439
that toxic productivity. I need to keep myself as busy

99
00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.199
as possible so I don't have to think about what's

100
00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.000
bothering me or what I'm feeling. And I notice a

101
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.040
lot like people tell me they're angry, I'll oh, I'm

102
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:19.680
such an angry person, And I always kind of laugh

103
00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:22.319
because I'm like, anger is a secondary emotion, You're burying

104
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:25.519
something there. But I do that too, man. I notice

105
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.399
that when I'm dealing with some deep sadness or difficult

106
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.959
emotions that I'll keep myself occupied and busy so I

107
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.920
don't have to deal with it. I think we're all,

108
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.040
especially Americans, I think we've become expert of voiters. You know,

109
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.600
we have smartphones, we have a million different things to

110
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.160
keep our attention and So I think therapy is a

111
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:44.600
great tool to remind people like it's okay to slow

112
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.959
down and feel what you need to and work on

113
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:47.519
your stuff.

114
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.879
What advice would you give kids nowadays because they're going

115
00:05:52.959 --> 00:05:55.480
through a lot of hell in this world and that

116
00:05:55.519 --> 00:05:58.480
there's a lot of stuff going on. I personally had

117
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.639
my own experience really with that. How do you stop

118
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.680
them from crossing line? Like I talk about when I

119
00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.319
was a kid, there's that line you didn't cross, you'd

120
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:12.639
go crazy. But nowadays I find kids just like jump

121
00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:14.959
right over that line. They don't even know line is there.

122
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:18.560
I this is This might be an unpopular answer, but

123
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:21.040
I think it starts with parents having good boundaries of

124
00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:26.560
social media. I don't think having a smartphone a decade

125
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:28.920
before your brain is even fully developed as healthy in

126
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:29.439
any way.

127
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:30.519
I agree, But I.

128
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:32.480
Also think like the beauty of social media is, like

129
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:35.959
you're seeing these younger generations, they're really smart, Like they

130
00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:40.759
they're really tech savvy. They have higher levels of emotional

131
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.600
intelligence in a lot of ways. So like, I think

132
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:48.879
that really teaching kids about how to manage those emotions,

133
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:51.199
how to check in on themselves, how to take care

134
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:53.439
of themselves from a young age, how to be self reliant,

135
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:57.120
self sufficient. I think that's huge. Like I am seeing

136
00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.680
adults in their forties who I like. I spend the

137
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:03.399
first few weeks of therapy talking about self regulation, like

138
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:05.680
when are you going into hyper arousal? When are you

139
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.160
going into hyper arousal? Which types of emotions exist in

140
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:12.439
both spaces? How do you ground? That's like basic therapy

141
00:07:12.519 --> 00:07:15.800
one oh one. And there are adults who just have

142
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:18.319
never been taught how to regulate their emotions. That's just

143
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:20.839
not part of we grow up and we take all

144
00:07:20.879 --> 00:07:23.399
these classes in high school and college that are meaningless

145
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:25.720
that we never use again, but we're not taught about

146
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.120
how to manage our emotions, which you see ninety nine

147
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.319
percent of the problems in society are because people are

148
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:32.000
hurting and don't know how to manage their emotions and

149
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:33.480
they do things they're tragic.

150
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:35.519
And it happens a lot in music too.

151
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.480
So I want to hear what your band members think

152
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.800
about having a therapist as part of the band.

153
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:44.399
Yeah.

154
00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:48.000
I think it's great. It's helped create a healthy culture

155
00:07:48.279 --> 00:07:51.439
with our band members and the fans, Like it's just

156
00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:55.399
a fun experience to see that that group of people

157
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:57.800
we all have issues and are hurting, but we're all

158
00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:58.319
there together.

159
00:07:58.959 --> 00:07:59.079
Now.

160
00:07:59.160 --> 00:08:02.120
Do you feel or anybody can answered. Do you feel

161
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:06.680
that having that allows you to be a better band,

162
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:09.920
because how many bands have that band drama going on?

163
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:13.720
It's usually from the therapy they all need.

164
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:18.160
I think it definitely helps. I think with what Cooper said,

165
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.879
helps with the culture of the band. I think it

166
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:24.120
also helps the five of us. It's like it's like

167
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.279
a brotherhood, right, and like you kind of learned that

168
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:29.639
we can be vulnerable and speak how we're feeling with

169
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:31.879
each other and be open and half. We've had some

170
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:35.360
really hard conversations in this band, like probably ones that

171
00:08:35.399 --> 00:08:38.519
would break up other bands, but we feel like we

172
00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.279
can have those with each other and be safe. And

173
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:41.960
I think a lot of that does come with Jake

174
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.799
and his practice and what he brings to the band

175
00:08:43.840 --> 00:08:44.519
and setting.

176
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:47.679
That culture very cool anybody else.

177
00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:53.080
Now, I just have something we are talking like, so

178
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.360
I think of when Metallica did the therapy, and even

179
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.279
though it was all public and stuff, I think about

180
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.480
them playing now, and that's somebody that saw them way

181
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.360
back the first show. Ever, I look at them now

182
00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:08.919
and I think they're a healthier band than they've ever

183
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:14.320
been in the past forty years. What's your opinion, because

184
00:09:14.360 --> 00:09:16.879
I don't see the background of it or an expertise

185
00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:17.759
way you see.

186
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.720
I can't speak specifically to the band because I haven't

187
00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:22.679
seen a whole lot of content on them recently. But

188
00:09:22.799 --> 00:09:27.360
I do think that like when you suppress frustrations for

189
00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:30.600
that long, Yeah, it gets harder and harder to untangle

190
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:33.399
that web of resentment. You know, the faster you're able

191
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:35.440
to catch things and jump on them and talk through them,

192
00:09:35.879 --> 00:09:38.360
the easier it is usually to resolve them. So, whether

193
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.120
it's a band or a couple or a family, I mean,

194
00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:45.000
it's crazy, just like in my social circle at home

195
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.159
to see like couples who have been together for twenty

196
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.840
thirty years that are still like, oh my husband does

197
00:09:49.879 --> 00:09:51.600
this and drives me crazy and I just can't tell them,

198
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.480
and I'm like, you've been with this person for three

199
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.480
decades and you can't have this. I think if people

200
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:00.039
knew how to have hard conversations, I think that I

201
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:02.679
would also be that's an incredibly healthy tool, because when

202
00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:06.360
you don't do that, it just damages the relationship in

203
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:12.919
so many ways, and just it's not worth the damage

204
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:14.480
that it does to just get out of your comfort

205
00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:16.240
zone and just say those hard things you need to say.

206
00:10:16.840 --> 00:10:20.559
And I love that because I always say about relationships,

207
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:25.639
they're all about proper communication, not communication, but proper because

208
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:29.240
we speak different languages no matter who we are as

209
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.799
individuals sometimes so I think you have to have those conversations.

210
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.039
And like so many people in relationships are like, oh,

211
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:40.480
but I don't want to hurt their feelings. Eventually that's

212
00:10:40.559 --> 00:10:43.519
gonna happen. You're less likely to if you just bring

213
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.519
it up and talk about it.

214
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:45.000
Well.

215
00:10:45.080 --> 00:10:51.559
I once saw a couple's therapist and these interviews. I

216
00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.639
don't like being painted as this hero because I'm not,

217
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:56.559
like I have all sorts of issues. I mean, I

218
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:59.320
was in an office with my wife and couples counseling,

219
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:01.759
which was great for us. It was a godsend for us,

220
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.960
and the couples counselor told us, the couples that know

221
00:11:07.080 --> 00:11:10.679
how to fight always succeed. It's the couples that tell

222
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.360
me we never fight that I worry about. And that's

223
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:15.600
what it's about. You will inevitably you cannot live with

224
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.000
somebody or be around them all the time and not

225
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:19.960
hurt their feelings or annoy them in some way. That's

226
00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:22.679
a fantasy. So it's knowing how to have productive, healthy

227
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:24.840
conflict love that's the key to success.

228
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.720
It's so true too, because that even goes right back

229
00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.600
to the turning the switch off bearing your That's what

230
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.039
you're doing by not having ever a fight and then

231
00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:37.080
it explodes like twenty years later sometimes.

232
00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:39.360
So that's cool.

233
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.120
So I think your band's gonna last a long time

234
00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:45.080
because you're not waiting twenty years to work on this crap.

235
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:46.480
You're doing it right from the beginning.

236
00:11:47.399 --> 00:11:50.159
I mean, people ask us how we crank out an

237
00:11:50.200 --> 00:11:52.399
album every year, how we do everything that we do,

238
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.559
And I think it's just because we found a healthy

239
00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:59.679
system and way to be consistent, yeah, and being in

240
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:01.519
top and it's awesome. Also because we don't have a

241
00:12:01.559 --> 00:12:04.039
record label telling us what we can and can't release,

242
00:12:04.919 --> 00:12:06.879
and we see bands who get frustrated because they're like,

243
00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:09.639
oh man, we have this great record done, but it's

244
00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:11.720
been three years since we finished it. I would lose

245
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:15.399
my mind, you know. So I think that the healthy

246
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:17.519
culture also kind of bleeds into the system and the

247
00:12:17.559 --> 00:12:20.919
business operations. It's like we have an approach where if

248
00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.519
we needed to say, hey, we need a year off,

249
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.559
We're burnt out, we need to regroup, we need to

250
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.600
I don't think we would ever do that, because we're

251
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.759
all workaholics, but in theory, if we wanted to set

252
00:12:31.759 --> 00:12:33.879
a boundary with ourselves, we could and there wouldn't be

253
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.200
any pressure, unhealthy pressure behind us saying you have to

254
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:37.559
keep going when you don't even want to.

255
00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:42.879
And I love hearing that live because there's somebody recently

256
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.879
that put an Instagram posting out the beginning of the

257
00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:51.519
year taking a mental health break, canceling stuff, and the

258
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:55.320
hate that was in the social media comments just blew

259
00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:59.080
my fricking mind, Like you care that much about go

260
00:12:59.240 --> 00:13:01.360
and see the bad and once that you're willing to

261
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.639
jeopardize their mental health or possibly life. Yeah.

262
00:13:06.759 --> 00:13:08.320
Man, And there's a lot of people out there. I

263
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.159
was on Twitter the other day and I should know

264
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.919
better or X or whatever it is now, and there

265
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.519
was I won't say who it was, but there's this

266
00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:18.519
talking head who had a clip where he's like, men,

267
00:13:18.679 --> 00:13:21.279
real men don't take days off, days off or an

268
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.120
excuse days off for this and all this stuff. And

269
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:24.759
I was just like, I can't believe we're in twenty

270
00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:28.440
twenty four and those mentalities still exist in are prominent.

271
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.320
Like people are so afraid of being seen as weak

272
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.559
that they're getting bullied into just being this pawn in

273
00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:38.200
a system where you know your hard work gets to

274
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.200
benefit everybody else but yourself, and like a happy society

275
00:13:41.919 --> 00:13:45.399
like people. I know, America's built on the back of

276
00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:47.559
hard work, right, and we value that so much. I

277
00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:49.600
think sometimes we value that so much that we miss

278
00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:53.679
the importance of other things like time off and enjoyment.

279
00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:55.759
And like when you have a society where people can't

280
00:13:55.759 --> 00:13:58.600
afford vacations and people can't afford to take a break

281
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:00.000
and they feel like they have to work two jobs,

282
00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.159
that's a society where you see violence spike and you

283
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:07.200
see crime spike. Like, healthy societies have to have happy people,

284
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:09.519
and happy people have to feel like they have things

285
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:10.200
to look forward to.

286
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:11.399
Yeah, I was just.

287
00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:13.480
Thinking, at what desire do you have to live if

288
00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.440
there's nothing to look forward to it and you're gonna

289
00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:18.720
live groundhog day every day, usually the worst part of

290
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:19.200
your day.

291
00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.720
So I agree with you a million percent.

292
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:23.519
And then like when I go over Europe and see

293
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.720
how they are, like you go into Spain and they

294
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:29.759
have to close the afternoon down. Old me would be like,

295
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.559
that's crazy. I want to be able to work. Why

296
00:14:33.759 --> 00:14:37.279
can't I work? Now that I've seen it, I'm like, man,

297
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.759
they're a lot smarter than we are.

298
00:14:40.440 --> 00:14:44.200
I think we have a lot of problems. I think

299
00:14:44.279 --> 00:14:46.240
that are unique to America. And I'm not going to

300
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:49.080
political direction here, so don't worry. But something that fascinates

301
00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:52.279
me is the spike and shootings. I have two little girls,

302
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:55.639
and so it's crazy how anxious I feel thinking about

303
00:14:55.679 --> 00:14:57.759
them getting into public school and having to worry about that.

304
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.799
And again, like as much as both sides of the

305
00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:04.440
political aisle want to argue about the causes of that,

306
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.639
I think what everyone can agree on is happy people

307
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:10.960
don't get pushed to a point like that. Happy, healthy

308
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:15.679
families don't breed situations like that. So self care as

309
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.679
much as people will, you know, try to label that

310
00:15:18.799 --> 00:15:22.000
as laziness or a lack of effort to work, Like

311
00:15:23.039 --> 00:15:26.080
I manage people in residential treatment, working with people with

312
00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:28.480
disabilities for a long time, and I'll tell you the

313
00:15:28.519 --> 00:15:30.480
people who knew when to take a vacation and take

314
00:15:30.600 --> 00:15:32.720
days off and use their PTO, they were the best

315
00:15:32.799 --> 00:15:34.559
workers man like. When they were there, they were on

316
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:36.639
and they crushed it. And it was the ones who

317
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.000
always picked up the extra shifts and never took time off.

318
00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:42.759
They were always just burned out in mediocre. You know,

319
00:15:43.679 --> 00:15:46.759
we're not built to go, go go and never rest. Yeah,

320
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:48.039
it's just not how we're wired.

321
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.360
No doubt.

322
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:51.240
And then that is when you get burnt out, you

323
00:15:51.279 --> 00:15:55.080
don't want to do anything or worse so, and that's

324
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.639
where I think music is therapy. So I'm glad you

325
00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.480
guys are here at lard in life. What else he

326
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:01.960
got going on after today?

327
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:06.200
We were just so we're going to be heading down

328
00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.480
for a West coast tour with Icon for Hire and

329
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:11.440
hallow Seen. It's our headline tour. We're doing Texas and

330
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:15.600
Phoenix and California. We're doing Pacific Northwest as well, do

331
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:17.440
an Aftershock festival in Sacramento.

332
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.480
I'll see you there. That's a great one too.

333
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.000
We're also excited that we just got confirmed for a

334
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:26.840
mainstage slot at Sonic Temple next year, which we are

335
00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.639
insanely dude. We're just like, we won't beat our chest

336
00:16:30.679 --> 00:16:32.320
about much. We try to keep our heads down to

337
00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:35.600
be humble, but like, we have no political connection, we

338
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.600
have no manager, we have no label. We played Columbus

339
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:40.879
until we sold out a fifteen hundred cap room and

340
00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:43.639
that's why we're on that main stage. We just it's

341
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:45.960
really rewarding to go somewhere into a new market and

342
00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:47.320
just to earn it, you know what I mean. So

343
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:48.120
we're stoked for that.

344
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:50.960
That is so freaking cool. And see that's the best

345
00:16:50.960 --> 00:16:53.360
part of the whole interview right there, because it just

346
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:57.919
shows other bands out there at are new young what

347
00:16:58.159 --> 00:17:00.159
you can do and what you can accomplish because it's

348
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.840
so hard nowadays and music and there you go. And

349
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:07.160
that to me, that comes from being healthy too, I

350
00:17:07.319 --> 00:17:10.480
think hard say love it. Thanks for being here at
