10
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.359
two reasons. One is the music itself. Everybody knows I

11
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:11.319
have a huge passion for good music. But I'm also

12
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:15.680
a motivational speaker, so I really love the message, even

13
00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.480
of the name and the band. So let's welcome to

14
00:01:19.519 --> 00:01:20.760

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.680
Thank you, thank you for having us, Thank you so much.

16
00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.319
You know what I love about the name of your

17
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:32.120
band is that it's so typical of people that don't

18
00:01:32.200 --> 00:01:35.200
know this kind of music would look at that name

19
00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:41.959
and think it's something negative, dark, depressive, And why don't

20
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:44.439
you tell them what it really means?

21
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.560
Yeah, before Johnny, the Morning is about morning, the state

22
00:01:48.599 --> 00:01:53.519
of the world, and morning morning the place that humanity

23
00:01:53.599 --> 00:01:54.400
is in right now.

24
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.799
And I love that because.

25
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:02.799
Yeah, but there's it's not just morning, right, Johnny, Well,

26
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:04.519
go on what do you want to say? Oh, I

27
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:06.840
mean it's not just morning, but it's also like, you know,

28
00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:11.680
the messages that like you can build a better society

29
00:02:11.759 --> 00:02:14.280
and for each other up and for sure.

30
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:19.319
Yeah, absolutely, Well here's the proof of your message, because

31
00:02:19.400 --> 00:02:24.319
your message basically is, you know, music and art can

32
00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:31.039
bring us all together. And so I believe that. I

33
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:32.000
believe it wholeheartedly.

34
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:35.360
Like that's that's a big, a big thing that I

35
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.319
that I talk about. I talk about this quite often,

36
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.719
and I'm like, you know, musicians are the peacekeepers. You know,

37
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.199
Artists are the peacekeepers. They're the people the glue of society.

38
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.919
They're the ones that, uh, you know, when when somebody

39
00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.000
has a really bad day of work, they blast some

40
00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:56.439
metal or something afterwards so they don't end up going

41
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:58.719
the next day and going postal. You know, it gets

42
00:02:58.759 --> 00:03:00.520
their anger out there, question.

43
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:03.280
Out, you know. And mosh pits.

44
00:03:03.560 --> 00:03:04.560
Yeah that's true.

45
00:03:04.599 --> 00:03:08.240
People don't understand. I probably would have killed some people

46
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:12.520
if I didn't have mosh pits in my life. Yeah,

47
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.439
you know, And it's not about what everybody thinks it is.

48
00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.400
You don't go in there to hurt and main people.

49
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.680
In fact, I hate the people that go in and

50
00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:22.719
try to do that. I try to take them out.

51
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.159
Those guys really have problems, no doubt.

52
00:03:26.280 --> 00:03:29.400
Everyone's very quick to make sure to stop those people

53
00:03:29.439 --> 00:03:31.599
if those people do come around.

54
00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.639
It's funny you got you bring that up because, uh,

55
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.759
a friend of mine, she she just posts a story

56
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:40.400
that she had a bruise, and I know she just

57
00:03:40.479 --> 00:03:43.240
went to this big it's called f Ya Fest. She

58
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.639
just went to this festival in Orlando. And I was

59
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.400
seeing some videos from this place and it was chaos, chaos,

60
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.560
and I asked her. I was like, oh, please don't

61
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:56.360
tell me it was a crowd killer, because that's what

62
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.240
they call them. They call them crowd killers. They're these

63
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.719
guys that will just run around and like punch all

64
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:03.639
the people in the on the outside, the people were

65
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:05.159
trying to stay out of the mash pit.

66
00:04:05.400 --> 00:04:08.199
They just said, and this guy I hate those.

67
00:04:08.360 --> 00:04:11.120
Punched her right in the face, broke her glasses, made

68
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:14.400
her almost want to cry. And her boyfriend saw it

69
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:16.959
happen and his arm was broken, so he couldn't do

70
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:18.759
anything about it. You know.

71
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:23.839
For her, what I love that I saw. I think

72
00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.319
it was that download two years ago. I'm pretty sure

73
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:31.439
it was. And I was in. I think it was

74
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:34.560
to bring me the horizon pit, and there was this

75
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:38.639
super big dude. Like I hate those dudes because usually

76
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:42.639
they're the dickheads. Okay, Yeah, they just go in like

77
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.560
I'm a big sea and I can beat up you

78
00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:48.360
little dudes, you know, type of thing, and not for nothing,

79
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:49.959
but not in the pit. When it comes to me,

80
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.959
I'm a little dude, and I'll come around like you

81
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:55.240
won't even see me come in. I'll come lunge up

82
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:58.399
like Mike Tyson from underneath you and elbow you as

83
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.240
I go and I'm on the other side of pit

84
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:05.800
before you even know, right. Yeah. So this guy, I mean,

85
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:08.680
he was super big and you could tell he was

86
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:12.439
targeting people. So this other dude that was big, not

87
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.560
as big as him, but big enough took him out

88
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.399
of the pit like literally like went in and started

89
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:22.959
blocking him and then made sure he was out of

90
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.439
the pit. And then once he was out, he like

91
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.519
blocked him to make sure he couldn't get back in

92
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:31.160
the pit. And I was like, right on, man, because

93
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:32.759
that's not what the pit's about.

94
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.560
Well that's how I get too. I had one one

95
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.199
guy at a show a few years but well more

96
00:05:38.240 --> 00:05:41.959
than a few years back, probably at least fifteen years ago,

97
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:45.079
this guy was doing the old donkey kick thing. Oh

98
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:49.160
I hate that, kicking behind him indiscriminately. Well you know

99
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.519
what I did. I put my size ten shoe right

100
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.040
up his ass. Nice kicked him directly in the ass.

101
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.680
I love it. Oh that's great, hilarious, that's great. I

102
00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:02.600
hate the flailing and all that stuff. You know.

103
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:08.319
That's what they call it fighting invisible ninjas.

104
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:11.959
Yeah, and they look stupid and it doesn't.

105
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.160
Have serious, serious shoulder problems when they get older.

106
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.399
Oh yeah, Well, I know.

107
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.560
I sound like an old man saying that your shoulder listen.

108
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.439
But I just had a neck injection yesterday because I'm

109
00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:27.680
going to cover ship Rocked, and uh, you know, I

110
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:30.360
get the head bang and my head my neck so

111
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:34.000
fucked up from head banging for since nineteen eighty.

112
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.319
That bro, When is when is ship Rocked?

113
00:06:37.759 --> 00:06:39.199
It's been a couple of weeks.

114
00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:41.639
Oh is it the same time as seventy thousand tons

115
00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:42.000
of Metal?

116
00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:43.639
It's right before it?

117
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.199
Wow. Yeah, me and Johnny are going to be on

118
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:48.560
seventy thousand tons of Metal.

119
00:06:48.600 --> 00:06:50.879
And I was thinking of doing coverage for that one,

120
00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.160
and I'm like do I really want to go on cruise,

121
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.519
get off one and get right back on the crew.

122
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.800
Yes, Yet usually of metals the best man, I'm.

123
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.040
Gonna have to check it out. If this year, next

124
00:07:04.120 --> 00:07:07.120
year I'll have to. But I go, I go on tour,

125
00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:13.000
and I do all the festivals and here in the US, UK, Europe,

126
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:16.439
and I'm like on my off season. So I'm trying

127
00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:20.639
not to like because come ap come April, yea, from

128
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:25.800
April November, I won't have any free weekends. And now

129
00:07:25.879 --> 00:07:29.439
like post COVID, these festivals are four and five days

130
00:07:29.480 --> 00:07:34.040
long everywhere, right, you know. It's what a difference too,

131
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:37.680
jumping just from three days to four days. We talk

132
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.839
about it all the time. It's like, oh my god,

133
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:43.759
that's like that one extra day is what puts you

134
00:07:43.800 --> 00:07:44.439
over the top.

135
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.680
I mean's seventy thou thousand metals five days.

136
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:51.920
So there's yeah, and ship Rock is almost seven days.

137
00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:54.759
Well, I didn't realize it was longer. I thought it

138
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:55.240
was the same.

139
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.240
Yeah, and then so and then there's the pre party

140
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.839
for ship Rock and then yeah, same with after COVID,

141
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:07.439
I was at the hell Fest that was two weekends long.

142
00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:08.639
It was seven days.

143
00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.560
Yes, health Ust is nuts.

144
00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:14.360
That was pretty badass because it was separate. It wasn't

145
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:18.199
seven days in a row. I rented an airbnb over

146
00:08:18.279 --> 00:08:20.959
on the coast and I went surfing during the week

147
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:27.839
and Masham. That was the first healfest after COVID Lockdown.

148
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:31.399
I think that's the one Todd played and with Queen's

149
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:31.920
right there.

150
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.639
I think so. Yeah, because my buddy was like three

151
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.080
sixty bands.

152
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:43.000
Yeah, it was like thousand people he played.

153
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.279
He was always healths always has like that many people.

154
00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:47.159
Was that the one?

155
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.440
Do you remember if that's the one that Demons the

156
00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:52.120
Wizards headlined or one of the headliners.

157
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.919
I don't think that was they were a headline, Okay,

158
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:58.039
it was probably the one Metallic Metallica headlined it.

159
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.440
Okay, Well yeah, they.

160
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:08.159
Had uh go Jira like that was that was insane

161
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.480
seeing go Jira in their home country. I think it

162
00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:17.960
was insane. Yeah. So you guys, you guys at hell Fest.

163
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.360
I mean, if you know, you know what, if you

164
00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:22.399
know who should talk to.

165
00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:26.399
I could probably get you an email of whoever does

166
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:27.240
the booking.

167
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.600
I appreciate that. Look into it.

168
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:34.399
Yeah, yeah, and I also have I have close ties

169
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.840
with Bloodstock and download.

170
00:09:36.639 --> 00:09:40.559
Bro get me. I played Bloodstock in twenty nineteen. Oh

171
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:42.080
I love to go back.

172
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.279
Uh not in this band though.

173
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.600
No, I played it with my band Three Headed Snake.

174
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:51.639
I think I I think I saw part of your set,

175
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.799
because like I'll sneak at a media and catch sets

176
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:58.519
of bands I haven't seen because I was.

177
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:02.039
In the the second tent, the big one, the big tent.

178
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.840
Was that the year that Machine Head was a surprise

179
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:07.960
band that played in the tent.

180
00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:11.480
I I don't know it was the year that Dying

181
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.720
Fetus played because what happened was Dying Fetus got rained

182
00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.320
out and we got all their people spilled over into

183
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.440
our tent because they started raining, So everybody came in

184
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.039
the tent. So the tent was packed front to back.

185
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:25.279
Nice.

186
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.519
You couldn't have planned that anybody.

187
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.480
No, no, that was That was a blessing, dude, it was.

188
00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:33.720
It was packed.

189
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.639
Bloodstock is a killer festival. And what I also love

190
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:41.879
about Bloodstock is, you know, going back to what we

191
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.159
were talking about before, like they do the uh Sophie

192
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:49.279
Lancaster stage, and they do all this stuff for Sophie

193
00:10:49.360 --> 00:10:53.679
Lancaster for those listening that don't know, you know, she

194
00:10:54.080 --> 00:10:57.759
was a goth metalhead and her and her boyfriend got

195
00:10:57.879 --> 00:11:02.279
jumped leaving the show and she got killed. Her boyfriend,

196
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:08.639
you know, by luck of something, survived, and so they

197
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.200
do something at that festival every year, and they even

198
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:15.720
have the one day that's Pink Day, where everybody wears

199
00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.559
pink in honor of Sophie Lancaster. And I think that's

200
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.279
so cool because that is a message we have to

201
00:11:22.279 --> 00:11:25.679
send that this stuff goes on. You know, we're talking

202
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.399
a lot in the world. There's a lot of bad

203
00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:31.120
and hate, okay, but there's not a lot of talk

204
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.679
of hate against goths and metal heads and punks. Y.

205
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:41.960
Yeah, that gets overlooked, ye because because they're the subculture

206
00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.480
and people don't care as much about the subculture exactly.

207
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:49.240
There's a lot of community in it too. Like I

208
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.159
remember when I was walking walking in to go play.

209
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:57.480
We were walking through like the backfield area into the entrance,

210
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:01.720
into the back entrance, and there was somebody just sitting

211
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:03.960
there and they had a blanket and they had all

212
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.320
of these belt buckles that were made out and I

213
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:10.000
was like, Oh, are you selling these? He goes no,

214
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:14.360
I'm giving them away because my uh my deceased friend

215
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:18.320
made all of these and I wanted I wanted people,

216
00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:20.720
the metal people, to have them. So I still have

217
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.840
it sitting on my shelf. It's it's like the Avenged

218
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.120
sevenfold bat that's made out of right, I don't know

219
00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:29.240
what's made out of pop metal or something that this

220
00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:32.919
guy made and his friend ended up with all of

221
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:35.919
it and gave it out to the people there so

222
00:12:36.440 --> 00:12:39.320
his friend could live on with all the other metal heads.

223
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:44.559
You know. That's yeah, it because we are a big

224
00:12:44.639 --> 00:12:47.480
family and to the point of your band, Okay, listen,

225
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.279
I think people are so pissed off and angry after

226
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.039
COVID because we had two years of no live music.

227
00:12:56.080 --> 00:13:00.360
There's no outlet, and you know, you go to these

228
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:06.879
major festivals, metal festivals in particular, and there are no outsiders,

229
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.200
there is no Hay. We're one big family, and it's

230
00:13:11.320 --> 00:13:16.279
really definitely something that the rest of the world could

231
00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:20.799
learn from, to be honest, you know, because because it's

232
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:24.720
funny too. I had Okay, so I had one weekend

233
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.759
several years ago that had to cover two festivals and

234
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:31.240
one weekend, and so obviously I couldn't be at one

235
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:34.320
of them. So I had somebody that was working for me.

236
00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:38.279
I was sending her. She was a country girl and

237
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.440
she had never been to a rock show, much less

238
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.200
a metal show. Wow, And so I sent her and

239
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.879
I told her at the time, I'm like listen because

240
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.519
she's all scared, and like, listen, you're gonna love this.

241
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:55.559
It's not like going to your country shows where rednecks

242
00:13:55.559 --> 00:13:58.279
are getting drunk and beating the shit out of each other. Okay,

243
00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.279
not like that. You're gonna find no fights. It's rare

244
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:09.159
that there's a fight. Everybody's gonna hug you and everybody.

245
00:14:09.200 --> 00:14:12.600
You know, you'll probably meet some dude and you'll make

246
00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:15.120
all these new friends, and you'll see most.

247
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:17.399
Of these dudes, most of these big burly dudes have

248
00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:19.559
a kiddy at home and they love patting. They're kiddie.

249
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:23.559
It's so funny because there's one of the other media

250
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.320
guys I'm really good friends with, and he's he's a

251
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.559
big dude, and he's always posting his Facebook about his

252
00:14:30.720 --> 00:14:34.360
kiddy cat all the time, you know, and he is

253
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.799
like this just big cuddly bear.

254
00:14:37.159 --> 00:14:37.360
You know.

255
00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:42.240
Yeah, it's really how it is. So she goes and

256
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:44.919
she comes back and she's like, oh my god, you

257
00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:48.519
were so right. Like, I have all these new friends,

258
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.679
and I met a guy and he's my boyfriend now,

259
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:56.720
and he goes have this favorite new band. They're They're

260
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:02.039
called Bring Me the Horizon. I'm like, yeah, I think

261
00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:02.919
I heard of them.

262
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:06.600
They're They're not the only one whose favorite band that is.

263
00:15:06.600 --> 00:15:08.039
There's a lot of people's favorite bands.

264
00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:11.799
Well you know what's cool about bringing a Horizon? And

265
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:14.240
I think I think that's who you should tour with

266
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.080
just because of the meaning of your band name. Because

267
00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.399
I think Ali has some of the best lyric writing

268
00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:26.120
that I can relate to ever. Like, He's got one

269
00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:30.600
line that is my favorite line in any song ever

270
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:36.320
because it's so good, and that's you can't I can't

271
00:15:36.399 --> 00:15:39.960
drown my demons they know how to swim. And I'm like,

272
00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:45.159
that is so fucking deep. Yeah. I wrote that song

273
00:15:45.559 --> 00:15:51.519
in rehab, like locked up, you know, and it's just

274
00:15:51.799 --> 00:15:55.559
it's amazing, like what is going on in his brain

275
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:58.960
that he can transfer into a song that like so

276
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:03.559
many people can relate to. Yeah. Absolutely, And so that's

277
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.200
why I like you guys, because right off the bat,

278
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:08.399
the whole message, because I'm a big believer in that

279
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:13.279
music and art is the great uniter it is. That's

280
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.480
why they say music sues. The comment savage beasts and

281
00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.159
you know it's funny. I'll tell a funny story. Uh lapping.

282
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.000
Just recently I met some girl on Tinder or something,

283
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:30.440
and I'm talking to her and and you know, I

284
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:33.200
always talk about, you know, what music do you like?

285
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.440
Because if they don't like metal or punk, it's an

286
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:41.279
iMac You're disqualified because you don't understand. It's not just

287
00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.919
about they don't like the music. They don't understand, you know, it's.

288
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:48.799
At least they got to be open to it, right,

289
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:50.000
It's deeper than that.

290
00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:55.679
So this this girl, she's like a she's a yogi,

291
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.399
so she's supposed to be all zen and peaceful and

292
00:16:58.440 --> 00:17:03.159
stuff and spirit. And she starts telling me, yeah, if

293
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.079
I listen to metal music, then it makes me want

294
00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:10.240
to throw things, destroy things, and get very violent. And

295
00:17:10.279 --> 00:17:12.240
I just said to her, and that's a you problem,

296
00:17:12.279 --> 00:17:14.480
not the music problem, because it doesn't make me want

297
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:14.920
it true.

298
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:18.359
It's true. She just she needs to just throw on

299
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.960
some ena and have a good day.

300
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.599
I know, right Like, and she's like, Nama, stay to me.

301
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.160
I'm like, don't give me that fake no mistay stuff.

302
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:30.160
If you're telling me that you can't even control your

303
00:17:30.160 --> 00:17:33.200
emotions from a song to not beat the ship out.

304
00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:35.200
Of so, well, I think I think somebody like that

305
00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:38.319
should should listen to metal because they need to like

306
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.480
have those impulses and learn how to control them.

307
00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:45.559
That's the key. That's the key, you know. It's kind

308
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:51.359
of like Dexter, you know, you have to have the code. Yeah,

309
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:53.759
but I agree with you whole hardly.

310
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:57.039
You know, like if it's easy to control yourself when

311
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:00.799
everything's calm and everything's good, like you can do that.

312
00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:03.839
But like to me, metal doesn't do that. To me,

313
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:07.559
Metal gives me this positive, euphoric feeling and gets me

314
00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:09.559
pumped up and my drones at.

315
00:18:09.839 --> 00:18:15.400
It's the opposite. It's, if anything, it tames the physical.

316
00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:16.039
No doubt.

317
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.359
Yeah, yeah, you know emotional.

318
00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:23.480
Yeah, I'll tell you something. Okay, So this year or

319
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:31.319
twenty twenty four, I was covering riot Fest and okay,

320
00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:36.079
ended up a few days before and before riot Fest

321
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.079
my grandson passed away. Uh huh. So I had a

322
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.079
lot of emotions obviously, and not good one.

323
00:18:43.480 --> 00:18:44.440
I'm sorry to hear that.

324
00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:48.920
Yeah, thank you, But here's what happened. I left the

325
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.279
funeral and flew to riot Fest and went in the

326
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:58.599
Slayer pit and basically took every negative motion I had

327
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.200
and just left it in that pit.

328
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:05.640
And that there you go exactly, especially especially in the pit.

329
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:09.680
Sup. No doubt in the pit, no doubt about it.

330
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:16.240
So let's talk about Hush album. Yes, But first before

331
00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:18.480
we went to talk about that, I want to say, Alex,

332
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:22.960
your story is great because like I love that you

333
00:19:23.039 --> 00:19:28.200

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:02.519
it was it was Yeah, I think I think you're right. Yeah,

346
00:20:02.839 --> 00:20:04.559
it was like right after the first Yeah.

347
00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.960
Yeah, so I I yeah, So I every year I

348
00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:10.799
go on seventy thousand tons of Metal for gear gods

349
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.359
dot net. Me and my buddy Trey, we do a

350
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:15.599
gear gods dot net for anny one who knows it

351
00:20:16.079 --> 00:20:20.359
and I met I met Johnny there through a mutual

352
00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:24.920
friend of ours, Brittany Uh, and we just hit it off.

353
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:27.720
We're all into the same bands mostly. We were talking

354
00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:31.559
about Symphony X and our love for Russell Allen, but

355
00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:37.799
you know other like prog bands in general. And I

356
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.680
think Johnny, you asked me a little bit later if

357
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:44.680
we wanted to like just not even it was even

358
00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:46.960
the morning. I think we're just working on a song together,

359
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.200
like I just ow an original.

360
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:48.839
Yeah.

361
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.240
Well, it was during the pandemic, during the six week shutdown,

362
00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:54.799
and I hit him up. I'm like, bro, I'm so bored.

363
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.240
Can we want to write some music? And he's like, yeah,

364
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:58.680
I'm also bored. Let's do that.

365
00:20:59.200 --> 00:20:59.440
Yeah.

366
00:20:59.559 --> 00:20:59.920
Nice.

367
00:21:00.200 --> 00:21:02.680
So that's kind of kind of started. And then then yeah,

368
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:08.519
from there, Johnny asked me if I could mix his, uh,

369
00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:13.440
the the album Hush. They'd already recorded it, but they wanted, uh,

370
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.359
they wanted the mix to really be the best it

371
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:21.799
could be, and uh so yeah, over the pandemic, we

372
00:21:22.799 --> 00:21:24.319
it took a while to like kind of get all

373
00:21:24.359 --> 00:21:27.440
the files over and everything I needed, and uh yeah,

374
00:21:27.480 --> 00:21:30.000
I produced the album, mixed it. I ended up doing

375
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.799
a lot more than just mixing. Like I there's a

376
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:37.400
lot of stuff that kind of got tweaked, some cuts ramped. Yeah,

377
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:39.960
some stuff got cut, some stuff got added, you know,

378
00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.480
a lot of producer stuff to make something that, uh

379
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.240
is my best How do I describe this my best

380
00:21:48.279 --> 00:21:52.920
interpretation of what Johnny's vision was? Like, I tried to

381
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.759
understand what Johnny was going for the best it possibly could,

382
00:21:55.799 --> 00:22:01.119
and then did the mix, the production, everything based on

383
00:22:01.559 --> 00:22:05.960
trying to achieve that vision in the eyes of people listen.

384
00:22:07.200 --> 00:22:12.119
In radio, like my engineers or's engineers that I've had

385
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:15.319
throughout all the years that you know, I don't have

386
00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:18.240
to tell them anything, they just know me so well.

387
00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:21.119
And then there's others that I feel like I have

388
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:24.279
to explain everything, and that's frustrating. You want somebody that

389
00:22:24.359 --> 00:22:26.799
can kind of get in your head, or you get

390
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.559
the ones that they're all ego and they just want

391
00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:35.000
to do it their way, and artists, yeah.

392
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:37.720
I unfortunately, I've I've been in that situation as an

393
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:42.000
artist where I've been with a producer, well known producer,

394
00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:47.440
uh produced bands before, and I just didn't realize that

395
00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:50.480
he just wanted to do it one very specific way,

396
00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:53.680
his way. It wasn't about, Okay, what are they trying

397
00:22:53.720 --> 00:22:54.279
to achieve?

398
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:54.839
Right?

399
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:56.880
Can I do to help them achieve that? It wasn't

400
00:22:56.920 --> 00:22:59.200
like that at all. It was like, no, they came

401
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:03.880
to me because they want exactly my vision and everything

402
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.200
has to conform to that, which was you know, maybe

403
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.039
some bands do want that, but that that wasn't what

404
00:23:10.079 --> 00:23:13.440
we wanted. And uh yeah that was I found that

405
00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:17.759
one out the hard way. But me personally, I'm more

406
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:20.799
about I want to make what you're giving me the

407
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.599
best it can be based on what you want it

408
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:23.880
to be.

409
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:27.000
Yeah, that's the way it should be. The artist always

410
00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:27.759
be the artist.

411
00:23:28.359 --> 00:23:30.720
Yeah yeah, so yeah, and then that's how it happened.

412
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:31.160
Uh.

413
00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:33.799
And then after that, uh you know, I've also I've

414
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:36.960
been like touring bands, toured around the world previously with

415
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:41.759
Wither Fall, and Johnny was asking me a lot of advice,

416
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:43.799
like how what should I do to market this? How

417
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:46.119
do I you know, it was the first album for

418
00:23:46.160 --> 00:23:49.119
this band, right, so, uh, you know, I just started

419
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.799
helping him out here and there more and more, and

420
00:23:50.799 --> 00:23:54.160
then eventually he was like, we got to do music videos, right,

421
00:23:54.359 --> 00:23:58.480
So then I then I flew to Florida to film

422
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:01.400
the music videos. Like so like three or four of

423
00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.599
the music videos are all like filmed and directed by me.

424
00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:08.839
That's uh, that's why I'm not in a lot of them.

425
00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.799
Is except one of them, It's because I was behind

426
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.279
the camera doing.

427
00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:16.920
The It was like there was really ultimately before you.

428
00:24:17.119 --> 00:24:21.160
Uh yeah, that was before I actually joined the band. Yeah,

429
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:26.160
and then the one they eventually yes, yeah, and then

430
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.880
eventually yes, this is the first song on the album,

431
00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:33.759
and then yeah, and then eventually it kind of came

432
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:36.160
to this thing was like, hey, like you kind of

433
00:24:36.200 --> 00:24:39.640
do like all this stuff for the band already, Like

434
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:43.759
do you want to just join? Yeah? And I was

435
00:24:43.799 --> 00:24:46.039
like I would love to because at that point I

436
00:24:46.079 --> 00:24:50.279
was basically rob Zombie. I was like producer, mixing, I

437
00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:53.279
did the music videos, you know. I was like helping

438
00:24:53.359 --> 00:24:55.880
with like all the band management stuff and the marketing.

439
00:24:56.359 --> 00:24:56.559
You know.

440
00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:58.759
I was like, yeah, dude, let's do this. I love

441
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:01.960
the music. Everybody the band is super cool. Johnny is

442
00:25:02.039 --> 00:25:05.440
an awesome vocalist and an awesome person. I was like,

443
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:08.759
why not you know, like I love everything about working

444
00:25:08.759 --> 00:25:09.240
with this band.

445
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.240
So yeah, see that's why I wanted to hear the

446
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:12.240
story because I love.

447
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:14.240
That you're making my heart meld, Alex.

448
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:20.359
I love it. And so with Hush Album, I love

449
00:25:20.440 --> 00:25:24.119
the stories about about these two songs, Chaos Machine and

450
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.279
the Mountain. Maybe let let's tell the stories of what

451
00:25:27.400 --> 00:25:28.519
those are.

452
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:30.279
Johnny, Johnny, you go for it.

453
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:36.640
So Chaos Machine is an observation on a certain mentality

454
00:25:36.799 --> 00:25:42.039
which tends to lean nihilistic and uh, and how that

455
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:48.079
nihilistic mentality uh leads into their life and seems to

456
00:25:48.119 --> 00:25:54.319
produce nothing but chaos. So that's really what that song

457
00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:57.519
is about. It's an observation on just and and it's

458
00:25:57.559 --> 00:26:00.799
and it's it's written in such a way to hope

459
00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:05.000
that people can adopt a more positive Uh. I'm not

460
00:26:05.079 --> 00:26:07.519
saying you gotta be white pilled, but man, you gotta

461
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:09.720
let go of that black pill. You know what I'm saying.

462
00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:13.599
Well, think about it. Like that explains the world to

463
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:17.920
a t right now. It's like, Man, I don't know.

464
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.559
Like I told my daughter one day, some days I

465
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:25.319
wish I could just drive down the road, take my laptop,

466
00:26:25.440 --> 00:26:29.759
my iPad, my watch, my phone and throw it all

467
00:26:29.799 --> 00:26:32.279
out the window and keep driving. She goes, Dad, who

468
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.200
you king? You're just as addicted as anybody. I'm like, yes,

469
00:26:35.640 --> 00:26:38.039
but I was around before we had a this shit.

470
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:42.680
And this is the problem with a lot of the

471
00:26:42.720 --> 00:26:47.559
world today. It's like, yeah, you know, just I can't

472
00:26:47.640 --> 00:26:50.000
and stand. I have to do it, and you guys

473
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.960
have to do it for what you do. But I

474
00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.599
can't and stand and sometimes go on social media because

475
00:26:54.640 --> 00:27:00.000
everybody's just like, like all they do is negative stuff.

476
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.240
And like last year, I was in Costa Rica for

477
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:07.440
three months on the off season, just getting away from

478
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:11.720
all the chaos pun intended, huh. And my brother calls

479
00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:15.200
me one day right before I'm about to go surfing,

480
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:20.119
and he goes, did you see the news? I'm like no,

481
00:27:20.720 --> 00:27:22.920
and I don't give a shit. I'm going surf and

482
00:27:22.960 --> 00:27:28.119
have a good one, yes, Because people are just so

483
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:32.599
negative over everything right now. Not just them being negative,

484
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:36.680
but everybody is making them negative about things that don't

485
00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.000
affect their life in any way. They or form like

486
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:44.720
that's the most ridiculous part. If it doesn't affect your life,

487
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.279
who cares? Don't obsess over it, don't worry about what

488
00:27:48.359 --> 00:27:51.240
somebody else says. Let everybody do them if they're not

489
00:27:51.319 --> 00:27:54.319
maliciously trying to hurt people. And if you don't like

490
00:27:54.400 --> 00:27:58.359
certain things, remove yourself from it or have some coping skills.

491
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:02.039
Yeah, yeah, exactly, just realize that go ahead, Alex.

492
00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:06.599
It's it's funny that you you mentioned, uh like wanting

493
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.759
to just take all your all electronics and all your

494
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:10.920
stuff and just kind of throw it away and kind

495
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.839
of like live like life and new. We actually have

496
00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:15.400
one of the songs that got cut from the album

497
00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.680
is actually literally about that. It's called control All Delete,

498
00:28:19.720 --> 00:28:25.200
and it is just it's just about starting from from zero,

499
00:28:25.319 --> 00:28:27.279
and we do plan to eventually put that song out,

500
00:28:27.359 --> 00:28:30.400
but it just didn't make it on this album. But yeah, yeah,

501
00:28:30.400 --> 00:28:32.200
that's exactly what that song is about, literally what you

502
00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:32.880
just described.

503
00:28:32.960 --> 00:28:34.519
But I love that go for it.

504
00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:40.480
Yeah, yeah, it's it's it's funny you were talking about.

505
00:28:40.720 --> 00:28:42.880
Oh now now I totally escape my mind. I'm thinking

506
00:28:42.880 --> 00:28:44.119
about control Delete.

507
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:50.559
Oh it just went that happens.

508
00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:55.680
Yeah, oh I remember. So you were talking about the uh,

509
00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:57.880
you know, getting in your truck with your laptop and

510
00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.240
your uh and and your and you know, your music

511
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:05.680
and just getting out of there and not having a phone. Well,

512
00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:09.720
it's kind of what the mountains about. It's about. It's

513
00:29:09.720 --> 00:29:12.680
about going going to you know, going without all the

514
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:16.519
trappings and going into the woods, into the mountains and

515
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:20.440
finding God. It's about it's about finding the divine, finding

516
00:29:20.960 --> 00:29:25.640
you know, the you know, being one with you know,

517
00:29:25.720 --> 00:29:28.960
our Creator, as opposed to you know, being trapped by

518
00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:31.039
all the the things of this world.

519
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:31.319
You know.

520
00:29:32.000 --> 00:29:34.400
And that's that's what it's about. Because when I'm I

521
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.920
go to the fam. I go with my family every

522
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:42.000
year to the mountains and and when I go, man,

523
00:29:42.039 --> 00:29:45.279
I just feel like so so at peace and so so.

524
00:29:46.000 --> 00:29:49.319
There is some serenity to the mountains and creeks in

525
00:29:49.400 --> 00:29:53.640
the mountains and the forests, and like I just I

526
00:29:53.680 --> 00:29:55.799
love that stuff. That's why I love about Costa Rica.

527
00:29:55.880 --> 00:29:59.039
You got the beach, the mountains, the jungle and you know.

528
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:00.599
You to beautiful place.

529
00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.680
I've been there actually, Yeah, and it's like you just

530
00:30:03.839 --> 00:30:07.200
feel like you don't give a shit what's going on

531
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:11.119
all over the world because it's a bit sheltered from it,

532
00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.559
you know.

533
00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:12.680
Yeah.

534
00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:15.279
Man, don't they don't have a military, do they?

535
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.680
They know, they gave up their military to give free

536
00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:25.440
health care and also to get give free education. Your

537
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:29.000
healthcare is badass. I could have testify to that. Yeah, yeah,

538
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:33.400
because I had one year. I had a heart attack

539
00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:38.119
in Hawaii surfing, and the Hawaiian doctors American Healthcare screwed

540
00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:40.400
me up and they caused a second heart attack a

541
00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.559
year later by them misplacing stent, and the doctor cleared me.

542
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:48.720
They didn't notice the whole year. Doctor cleared me. Okay,

543
00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:50.799
you're good. I went to Costa Rica. I went surf.

544
00:30:50.839 --> 00:30:52.480
I was on a ten foot wave and had a

545
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:57.400
massive heart attack. I went to that hospital in Costa Rica.

546
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:01.759
The carreologists called my insurance company, my American insurance company,

547
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:05.880
and said, hey, he needs this procedure right now where

548
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:10.440
he's going to die. And they said, well, it takes

549
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.279
forty eight to seventy two hours to process the claim

550
00:31:13.480 --> 00:31:16.079
and it's a weekend, so it'll probably be longer. In

551
00:31:16.119 --> 00:31:18.519
the carreologists like, you don't understand. The reason I'm calling

552
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.319
you in several receptions is because he'll be dead by then.

553
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:24.839
Nothing we can do. He hangs up the phone says,

554
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.880
doesn't matter. Even when they approve it, the US insurance

555
00:31:28.920 --> 00:31:32.319
companies never pay US, and then what they did next

556
00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:36.519
was amazing. They put me in their social Security system

557
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:39.720
as if I was assistant and treated me one hundred

558
00:31:39.720 --> 00:31:43.160
percent for free. Wow. Whoa, I'm not even somebody that

559
00:31:43.319 --> 00:31:47.200
lives there. And they did a way better job than

560
00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.799
anybody in America did. It was stellar health care.

561
00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:52.759
It amazing.

562
00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:57.799
Yeah. Even my carreologists here in Florida said, hey, it's

563
00:31:58.039 --> 00:32:01.640
they did an amazing job. And I even looked at

564
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:03.400
the bill if I had to pay for it. So

565
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.160
the bill in Hawaii was for me was four hundred

566
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:07.279
thousand dollars.

567
00:32:08.160 --> 00:32:08.839
Oh my god.

568
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:11.519
The bill in Costa Rica that I didn't have to

569
00:32:11.519 --> 00:32:14.200
pay was fifteen thousand dollars. And they did more work

570
00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:19.400
in Costa Rica. It's amazing. Third world country, that's wild

571
00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:25.200
do that and they don't need a military, so that's wild. Wow. Right,

572
00:32:25.839 --> 00:32:26.759
you know you're make me.

573
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.000
Want to move because there are there are mountains there,

574
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:29.720
so I could.

575
00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:33.680
Uh oh yeah in peace there. Oh yeah, there's definite

576
00:32:33.839 --> 00:32:38.359
like it's all peace Like. Listen where I go, it's

577
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:43.440
all dirt roads and the whole area goes down to

578
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.559
the beach in two hours before sunset, just to wait

579
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:51.640
for the sunset. Nice, Like that's you know, life is

580
00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:56.079
yoga and surf there and people are cool too, like

581
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:58.400
like the metal community, like everybody's.

582
00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:01.200
I forget this Costa Rica. Costa Rica stretches from the

583
00:33:01.240 --> 00:33:02.559
west coast to the east coast.

584
00:33:02.920 --> 00:33:06.400
Yep, I haven't done the Caribbean side. Yeah, all of

585
00:33:06.440 --> 00:33:07.359
the Pacific side.

586
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:09.119
I was on the Caribbean side.

587
00:33:09.240 --> 00:33:11.559
Yeah. Yeah, I've been on the whole Pacific side. And

588
00:33:11.640 --> 00:33:16.240
like there's there's a place on the Pacific side on

589
00:33:16.319 --> 00:33:21.400
the Yosa Peninsula that basically next to the Amazon is

590
00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.640
the most untouched place on Earth. It's a rainforest and

591
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:27.200
it's like to go there, you have to go with

592
00:33:27.240 --> 00:33:30.759
a tour guide. It's a wet dog. So you jump

593
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.079
out into the water and there's crocs in the water.

594
00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:35.079
And oh my god.

595
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:37.240
And you walk up on this saying you have a

596
00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:43.279
tour guide because like literally, either you're going to ruin

597
00:33:43.359 --> 00:33:45.480
the environment there or it's going to ruin you if

598
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.279
you buy yourself. Yeah, Like we had a puma stalking

599
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:51.319
us the whole tour.

600
00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:52.599
Oh my god.

601
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:55.559
But he knew how to handle that whole situation, so

602
00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:59.359
we never like worried about And then we were walking

603
00:33:59.400 --> 00:34:03.160
by this one bush. You couldn't even see it. I

604
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:05.400
don't know if you know what tape air is, but

605
00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:09.159
it looks like a horse, Like it's like the size

606
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:12.119
of a horse. It was lying down in the bushes

607
00:34:12.519 --> 00:34:14.079
like you couldn't even tell it was there. When we

608
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:16.360
walked by, it got scared and ran like it scared

609
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:21.440
the ship out of us. Wo. Right, So my.

610
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:24.760
Trip in the I went to the rainforest on the

611
00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:29.280
other side, okay, Costa Rica. I don't have any crazy

612
00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:31.960
stories like that. It must not be the untouched one.

613
00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:35.639
It must have been, uh one that you know.

614
00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:38.880
Was a lot of people stay the Caribbean sides, more

615
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:40.159
of the ghetto side.

616
00:34:40.480 --> 00:34:40.880
Mm hmm.

617
00:34:41.039 --> 00:34:42.519
That's what a lot of people say.

618
00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:45.599
Yeah, that's it was beautiful. But like I went on

619
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:49.000
the sky ride through the through the canopy. Yeah, and

620
00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:50.599
I didn't see one animal.

621
00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:54.679
Where I stay. I have videos of it. Every morning

622
00:34:54.719 --> 00:34:58.599
i'd get woken up by the howler monkeys. Oh and

623
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.599
I don't know you've ever heard them. They sound when

624
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:04.559
they're up close, they sound like gorillas and they're little monkeys.

625
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.199
But you can hear them from like three point one

626
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:08.880
miles away. Wow.

627
00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.079
And yeah, that's how it sounds when I do like

628
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:13.079
a power metal yell.

629
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:18.639
Right there you go, and there's all kinds of nature

630
00:35:18.679 --> 00:35:21.079
on my side. You see stuff all the time, like

631
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:24.320
on on the Pacific side, So I want, I want

632
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.760
to check out the Caribbean side, but I just cut.

633
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.760
I've covered the whole Pacific side. I've gone to everywhere

634
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:33.599
the pretty much to go, and I found my favorite places.

635
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:38.039
It's just like anywhere else. You have places that are okay,

636
00:35:38.719 --> 00:35:42.039
places that are great, and places that like like San Jose,

637
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:44.639
Costa Rica is not places you want to go to

638
00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:47.480
if you're looking to go off the grid and escape.

639
00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.400
But like I go in the Sara and that's off

640
00:35:50.440 --> 00:35:53.920
the grid and you escape and all you know is

641
00:35:54.000 --> 00:35:58.400
peace and tranquility and yoga, surf and cool people and

642
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:02.599
you know, it's like the mountains about my man exactly.

643
00:36:03.800 --> 00:36:07.559
And then it's funny because during the rainy season, okay,

644
00:36:08.000 --> 00:36:10.360
I was renting a car first time I was there

645
00:36:10.440 --> 00:36:13.239
during the rainy season. They have dry season, rainy season,

646
00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:18.159
and I like took the full coverage of the insurance

647
00:36:18.599 --> 00:36:21.639
and they said, I asked, now my covered for everything.

648
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:24.440
Because you go a place like that, you do take

649
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.760
the full coverage. Because they will jack you, like you

650
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.440
get flat tire, it's like five hundred bucks on some

651
00:36:30.639 --> 00:36:35.480
piece of shit car. And so he goes, Yeah, except

652
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:38.519
if your car goes down the river And I'm like,

653
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:41.519
what the fuck is he talking about? Why would I

654
00:36:41.639 --> 00:36:44.920
drive it down the river? Yeah? And then I found

655
00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:48.679
out because when it's rainy season, you have to drive

656
00:36:48.840 --> 00:36:51.559
through the river to get to the other side of

657
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:55.360
