00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.439
I hope your week's going good. I hope you're getting
15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.840
some good rests. I have just had some terrible nights
16
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.119
of sleep the past couple of days. Our new cat,
17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.719
Beans got this case, super cute, you know, big fat,
18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.439
worn cat, super cuddly, wants to be around us all
19
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:03.799
the time.
20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.799
You know, he's not like pig pigs, kind of like, yeah,
21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.599
feed me and then get the fuck away from me.
22
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.000
But you know, Beans is cool.
23
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.599
He just he started this new thing where he jumps
24
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.840
up on the bed at like four thirty in the
25
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.239
morning every night, because you know, if you're fat, you're
26
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.480
gonna want food at all times of the day. Right
27
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.519
four point thirty, he's waking up. He was like, where's
28
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:22.920
my food?
29
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.200
Exep. He kept stepping on my balls. Dude.
30
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.120
That's how I've woken up the past three nights. We
31
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.560
just walk up on the bed, jump on me, and
32
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.519
he just keeps jumping. I gotta wear a cup, dude,
33
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.680
keep stepping on my nuts to wake me up. And
34
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.680
I gotta be honest, I can't think of many worse
35
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.359
ways to get woken up getting you know, fifteen pound
36
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.599
cat jumping on your sack. You can DM me at
37
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.799
Nick on Air Jordan if you can list some better
38
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.760
or some worse ways to be woken up than a
39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.760
cat jumping on your balls.
40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.159
Fun. You wake up mad immediately, and then the cat's
41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.480
like me, I'm I'm you win an ninety and your
42
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.280
cats stop stepping on my nuts, dude, It's crazy.
43
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.680
I do love pig More, the first cat that we got.
44
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.439
Ames asked me that the other day.
45
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.960
She was like, hey, do you like more? I was like, oh,
46
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.599
for sure, I love pig More.
47
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.319
Like we don't have kids, We've got two cats, but
48
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.960
I know you know parents, I know you guys pick favorites.
49
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.919
I know you love one kid more because Beans is nice.
50
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.280
The cat's just he's dumb dude. And I've known Pig
51
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.759
for like two and a half almost three years, known
52
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.039
Beans for like three months.
53
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.960
Of course I love Pig more. She's like, now you've
54
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.159
got to love them equally.
55
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.479
I don't Pig, don't jump on my nuts at four
56
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.680
thirty in the morning to wake me up. I've also
57
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.159
I think, like in addition to that, I think I'm
58
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
suffering from withdrawls.
59
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:54.680
I started.
60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.879
We went to the movies Saturday night, see Toy Story
61
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.719
five and uh. We went to Target first to go
62
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.000
smuggle in some candy and I messed up, Like I
63
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.639
caved and I got the Nerds gummy clusters. If you
64
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.560
haven't had them before, don't don't start. It's literally a
65
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.319
drug addiction. I like six months ago, me and Ames
66
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.919
went through probably a month period where we had to
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.960
have a bag in the house because they're that good.
68
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.520
You just keep eating them, you can't stop. And I
69
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:27.439
hadn't had them, and I.
70
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.919
Was like, oh, yeah, I'll get some candy. Do you
71
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.919
want races?
72
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:31.479
Nah?
73
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.000
I think I'll get the Nerds gummy clusters. You remember
74
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.800
you had a problem with them last time. No, No,
75
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.120
I'll be fine this time. Wrong, just going through that bag.
76
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.680
I'm thinking about them when I'm sleeping, like I know,
77
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.000
I know they're in the pantry. I just go knock
78
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639
out the rest of the bag. It's two in the morning.
79
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.719
I don't need to beating candy.
80
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.159
Don't do it.
81
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.039
If you haven't had the Nerds gummy clusters, do not
82
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.159
do it. Don't get the blueberry, want the blue bag?
83
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.919
Oh my god, what are we the best thing? Because
84
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.039
I know they specifically designed it to just hit every
85
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.719
taste bud on your tongue. It's impossible not to like it.
86
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.439
So I'm getting itchy right now thinking about it because
87
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.159
I got to go home, and I think I was
88
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.319
just gonna I gotta eat the rest of the bag, right,
89
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.879
I gotta get it out of the house, and then
90
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:16.839
I just won't buy more.
91
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.800
That's what I'll do. Yeah, that's fine. You're talking like
92
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.480
a cocaine addict right now. Nick, I know, I just
93
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.319
I can't have it in the house. Okay, I'm thinking
94
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.800
about it all the time. I'm losing sleep. My cat's
95
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.600
jumping on my balls.
96
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.759
Gotta get the nerds gummies out of the house. But no,
97
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.759
we went saw Toy Story five. And because I was
98
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.759
just like, you know, begging Ames ago she's she likes
99
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.000
Toy Story, but that wouldn't like her you know, Disney
100
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.279
movie growing up that she was a huge fan of,
101
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.800
Like she likes it, but that like Toy Story.
102
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.160
For me, that was like, Okay, I like Disney because
103
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.279
I like Toy Story.
104
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:53.199
What about me?
105
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.360
You're a fine mickey, But I like buzz Lightyear.
106
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.120
That's like that was me growing up. I love Toy Story.
107
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.079
So I was like, Ames, come on, we gotta go.
108
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.199
We gotta go see Toy Story five. And I was
109
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.079
also going into it like, Okay, this movie might suck.
110
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.079
It might be bad, Like, for one, I'm thirty three,
111
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.759
they're making this movie for seven year olds.
112
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.959
I might not like it.
113
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.759
And two it's the fifth movie, you know what I mean,
114
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.839
they might just be doing a cash grab. I went
115
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.800
in there fully prepared for this movie to stink, and
116
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.680
I was so wrong.
117
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.160
I was very wrong.
118
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.079
Actually, it was so good, dude. It was better than
119
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.759
Toy Story four. And I'm not gonna spoil anything, but
120
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.920
there were a couple parts in that movie that got
121
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.399
me a little bit, you know, teered up a little bit, because,
122
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.240
like we go to the movies, anytime there's a sad
123
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.839
part in the movie, I'll look over at Ames and
124
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.519
you know, she's allowed to let her emotions go, so
125
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.879
she'll tear up. She'll cry in a movie theater. Not me, though,
126
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160
why because I have a pair of balls that my
127
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.399
fat cat steps on in the middle of the night.
128
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.279
I'm not allowed to cry in front of people, right,
129
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.560
but I could, dude. There was a couple of parts
130
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.759
in that movie where I was just.
131
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.759
Like, come on, man, think of something. It was tough.
132
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.560
It was. It had a happy ending, but yeah, it was.
133
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.560
It was tough. Like we got out, We got out
134
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.000
of the movie theater, and NAMES was like.
135
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.680
Oh, parts of that movie was so sad. I cried.
136
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:23.439
Did you cry?
137
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.759
And I was like no, And then she made fun
138
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.480
of me the whole day. But go see Toy Story five,
139
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.319
Like even if you're an adult, like you'll you'll like it.
140
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.160
You got to pick the uh got picked the Lade
141
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.120
show though. That's what we went at like nine forty
142
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.399
five at night, and uh, there was nobody in the
143
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:44.920
movie theater.
144
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.920
It was awesome. We just basically had it like our
145
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.800
own personal movie theater. I felt like a rich person. Honestly.
146
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.839
I was like, this is what I would do if
147
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.759
I had millions of dollars. I would have a big
148
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.240
screen movie theater in my mansion, and I would have
149
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.399
gotten my hands on an early copy of Toy Story
150
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.360
five and played it in the house and then watched
151
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.319
it whenever I wanted to. The only thing I couldn't
152
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.160
do was I couldn't pause it when I needed to
153
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.839
go to the bathroom. So you know, I got some
154
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.360
work to do. I got some money to make so
155
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.600
that I can make that a reality. But other than that,
156
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.639
other than holding my pee, it was really a good movie.
157
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.199
Uh definitely hits on the heart strings. But it wasn't
158
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.079
a cash grab. It was it was good, which I
159
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.319
had like the negative pessimistic thought as soon as I
160
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:31.759
walked out of there, and I was like, man, that
161
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.680
was a really good movie. Fuck they're gonna make They're
162
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.120
gonna make ten more of these, and one of them's
163
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.680
gotta stink, you know what I mean, one of them's
164
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.439
gotta be bad. But it's not Toy Story five. It
165
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.199
was a good one, so go see that. Oh sorry,
166
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.720
I got the uh got the World Cup on right now.
167
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.160
I love the World Cup being on during the week.
168
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.319
England can't score there, They're gonna draw with Garna.
169
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.480
Gone.
170
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.560
Ah that was Australian. I apologize all the British people listening,
171
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.199
but uh no. My favorite thing about the World Cup
172
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.319
being on or being in like this Hemispher's time zone
173
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.279
is you got games two games on during work, so
174
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.720
you really don't even have to pay attention at work
175
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.399
and just you know, keep TV on. So Christiano Ronaldo
176
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.199
have a couple of goals today, I was nice. Yesterday
177
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.920
saw MESSI have two more and Bope had a couple,
178
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.720
Holland had two. I keep seeing people, bro I'm like,
179
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.679
I started off with twenty bucks. I was like, I'm
180
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.440
just gonna put twenty bucks in. I'm gonna try and
181
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.519
bet on the World Cup game. See how high I
182
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.279
can get my money just making small bets, nothing crazy,
183
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.720
because I don't know shit about soccer, you know, I'm
184
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.639
just trying to make it a lot more fun to
185
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.279
watch when I'm watching. You know, Cape Verde and Spain.
186
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.879
Draw, which wast me money. By the way, we're good
187
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.519
for Cape Verde.
188
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.080
But I started with twenty bucks and I kept seeing
189
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.720
all these people online betting the same bet. They were like, hey,
190
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.240
Messi and Bopp and Holland from or Halan from Norway.
191
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.080
I can't even say the guy's name, that's how much
192
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.759
I know about soccer, the big Viking guy, you know
193
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.639
who I'm talking about. I saw everybody kept betting that
194
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.960
they were going to score a goal or score two goals,
195
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.799
and I was like, dude, no way, the best players
196
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.200
aren't going to do that, you know what I mean, Like,
197
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.000
it's just it's two picture perfect.
198
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.159
They're not going to do it. They did it the
199
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.039
first day that they played.
200
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.080
Last week. I was like, okay, missed out on that.
201
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.519
Everybody's like, oh, I made like fourteen thousand dollars.
202
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.000
It hit.
203
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.559
I put fifty bucks in and paid for my rent
204
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.960
for half a year. Hell yeah.
205
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:51.000
Came around again yesterday. All the betting profiles were like, hey,
206
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:51.919
go ahead, run it.
207
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.519
Again, keep parlaying it, keep doing it.
208
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.000
I was like, nah, dude, I'm not going to do
209
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.960
it because I miss my moment, So I'm not gonna
210
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.879
spend my money on that.
211
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.360
I just missed it. Gotta be okay with it. They
212
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.519
did it again. All three of them had two goals.
213
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.799
Bro In the same day, people made tens of thousands
214
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:17.399
of dollars off fifty hundred dollars bets. I wouldn't have
215
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.799
made that much because I only got twenty you know,
216
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.200
after picking the games that I picked, I think I
217
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.440
have four cents left of my DraftKings account.
218
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.960
Kids don't camble. Okay, it's not it's not good.
219
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.759
So I'm not putting any more money in the uh
220
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.240
in the DraftKings account until the round of thirty two starts,
221
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.440
and then you know, that's when the roll ball knows.
222
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.120
That's when that's when they shine. You know, anything can
223
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.240
happen in the in the group stages, but the knockout
224
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.519
state that's where you make your money.
225
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.639
Dude, I'm not gonna make shit.
226
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.399
I don't know anything about soccer, but dude, it's like
227
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.879
the World Cup is so fun.
228
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.759
I really like.
229
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.679
It's one of those things where if you're not into soccer,
230
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.039
that's cool, but this is happening. You know, in the
231
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.639
US during the day you're at work. I know, you
232
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.320
don't give a fuck about your job, you can't care
233
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:07.879
about soccer.
234
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:08.759
Well, but just have it on.
235
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:13.000
It's fun and everybody is having a great time. And
236
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120
my favorite part is everybody's getting along, well, at least
237
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.399
everybody that's playing in the US and Mexico they're having fun.
238
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:22.759
At least.
239
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.200
I haven't seen any videos of people having fun in Canada,
240
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:30.000
but everybody that's playing, like in the US Mexico, dude, uh,
241
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.159
the Mexicans and the South Koreans looked like they were
242
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.240
having a ball. I wanted to be down there. They've
243
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.000
just they looked like they were having so much fun.
244
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.799
And it's awesome because you know when you take out
245
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.600
the mean principle or our governments that are like, yeah,
246
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.000
well we're rich and we don't like you poor people
247
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.879
getting along, because then you'll figure out that US rich
248
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.679
people calls all your problems. When they're not hanging around
249
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.519
telling us to hate each other, we all figure out, Oh,
250
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.440
you got just like to have fun, drink, eat food, laugh,
251
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.080
have a good time. That's all you want to do. Yeah,
252
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.879
that's that's all we want to do. We all get along.
253
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.120
It's beautiful. That's been the best part about this World
254
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.559
Cup and getting to see people from different countries like
255
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.639
getting super excited about stuff that we take for granted.
256
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.919
Here in the stits like I.
257
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.519
Saw this video of this guy from Africa just talking
258
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.879
about how awesome his trip to the US was, and
259
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.159
he was like, man, it's amazing they have everything. Yesterday
260
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.519
I had the best steak of my entire life. I've
261
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.720
never tasted anything so good. I can't believe like that
262
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.279
this is available here. I want to move here. It's
263
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:52.879
so good. I got it at this place called Longhorned Steakhouse.
264
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.919
And don't get me wrong, Longhorn, you know, has solid steak,
265
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.039
but that's not something that you know, if you've had
266
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.360
Longhorn before, you'd be like, Okay, yeah, that was a
267
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.360
solid steak. I'm a little piss that I pay fifty
268
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.639
bucks for that, but it was good, right, It's better
269
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.200
than anything I was gonna cook at home. But it
270
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.919
wasn't anything earth shattering. And then you see this guy
271
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.159
just losing his mind saying this is the best thing,
272
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.720
the best food he's ever tasted in his entire life.
273
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.799
And it's something you drive past on the way to
274
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.440
the mall all the time. It's right across the street
275
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.519
from the Applebee's. Maybe you know, depending on how your
276
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.559
city's set up. Maybe there's a long horn on one
277
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.919
side of the street and there's an outback steakhouse on
278
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.679
the other side.
279
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.600
We have an abundant of riches here, and nobody can
280
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.960
afford anything because those.
281
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.879
Fat, fucking bastards at the top half all the money.
282
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:48.759
But if they're not telling us to hate each other,
283
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.720
we can all be poor together and laugh and watch
284
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.679
soccer and it's nice.
285
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.360
It's enjoyable, you know what I mean. I did see.
286
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.840
I'm gonna preface this by saying I don't understand this
287
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.279
stock market or money in general, because I'm dumb and.
288
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.679
Poor, but I do know how to spot bullshit.
289
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:12.440
And when Elon Musk became a trillionaire because uh, SpaceX
290
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.159
got valued at like the highest what two point something
291
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.559
trillion dollars, that's how much the company was worth, everybody
292
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.960
was like, oh, I gotta I gotta buy space X stock.
293
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.879
I'm gonna be rich. I'm gonna get it.
294
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:30.360
Yeah, it dropped sixteen percent this morning, like four hundred
295
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.240
billion dollars got wiped out. I don't maybe it was
296
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.879
four hundred million. I don't want to be lying, but
297
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.679
it was some crazy amount of money. No, I think
298
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.279
it was four hundred billion because Elon dropped from having
299
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.919
like one point seven trillion dollars to under a trillion
300
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.840
dollars and Matt's not math, and I'm too see this
301
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.679
is why I shouldn't tape finances. But basically, what happened
302
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.879
was everybody, all the rich people at the table were like, yeah, hey,
303
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.799
we're gonna lie and say that this thing is worth
304
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.519
a lot more than it is. We're all gonna sell
305
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.240
all of our shares in it. All these poor people
306
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.200
are gonna buy it up thinking that they're gonna get
307
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.960
rich off of it.
308
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.960
And then when we got to turn the.
309
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.519
Books in next week, people see how much it's actually worth,
310
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.759
and who gives a fuck?
311
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.080
We already got our money, right, And what happened. That happened.
312
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.919
So just remember.
313
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.519
Rich people hate us, Okay, not some random person that
314
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.000
likes a different team than you, or lives in a
315
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.120
different part of the country than you, or someone that
316
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.559
lives in a different country. They don't hate you. They
317
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.919
hate the people making the rules. And that's fine because
318
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.399
you should never like someone that makes the rules. Shouldn't
319
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.720
trust politicians, oh man. But yeah, basically I'm just mad
320
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.840
because I missed out not once, but twice on becoming
321
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.960
a ten thousand ear, which would have been cool, but
322
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.240
I can't bet. So there's that something that's been getting
323
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.000
all my nerves.
324
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.600
Facebook had an update.
325
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480
I don't know if you guys have gotten on Facebook
326
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.639
or you'll find out, you know, in three days when
327
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.559
you get on Facebook.
328
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.519
But normally, when you.
329
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.159
Would open Facebook, it would just be the feed of
330
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.200
every crazy thing that someone from your hometown said, like, Hi, man,
331
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.320
I cheated on my wife with the Hooters waitress and
332
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.919
now my kids won't talk to me.
333
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:22.879
That kind of shit.
334
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.159
That's why you get on Facebook, right to check see
335
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.799
whose birthday it is? And damn, I really want to
336
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:33.879
know what Josh is up to that kind of shit. Right, Well,
337
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.200
they did an update and now the first thing you
338
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.360
see when you open it is the Facebook Reels tab.
339
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.759
You got to click out of that.
340
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.120
To get into the feed to find out, you know,
341
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.240
when your uncle's birthday is. It's annoying, dude, stop trying
342
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.919
to be TikTok, and I know, like all they want
343
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:53.399
to do is just keep people in the.
344
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.399
App for as long as possible, because if we got
345
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.399
you in the app, then we get more of your
346
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.480
information and you can stay in here.
347
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.480
You mean more many of you.
348
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.720
That's what they're doing, right, But dude, please just let
349
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.039
me read about the terrible lives of people that are
350
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.519
dumb enough to post all of their problems on Facebook
351
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.400
and find out when my cousin's birthday is.
352
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.240
That's all I want from you, Facebook. I got TikTok. Okay,
353
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.400
I don't need you to be TikTok, but they're doing
354
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:22.880
it so.
355
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.039
Just I just want to see the thoughts of a
356
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.039
guy I went to middle school with losing his mind?
357
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.720
Is that too much asked for on a Tuesday?
358
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:36.079
Is it? I don't know. I guess it is apparently, Bud.
359
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.400
What are you gonna do? All right, let's get.
360
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.079

00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.480

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.640
Not sure how they get away with this, you know

378
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:36.960

That's better than Prime Day, right, Well, you got to
384
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.559
get the deals up prime Day. Why.
385
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.400
I don't even think they're giving us actual deals. They're
386
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.799
just trying to pump up their numbers for Q two
387
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.599
so that they can get everybody to buy more Amazon stock.
388
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:03.799
And then when they find out that it's not as
389
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:05.880
valuable as it was, all the rich people sell their
390
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.160
shit and won't be left holding the back.
391
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:07.599
Anyway.
392
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.440
Your headline of the week, let's talk about something positive.
393
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.240
Please.
394
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:20.039
Doctors are warning that TikTok could be making vaping look
395
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.599
a lot cooler and a lot less dangerous than it
396
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.119
really is.
397
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.799
Well that's not very nice.
398
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.359
But at least they're trying to fix it, right, because
399
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.599
we all know vaping is bad for you. It's not
400
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.119
air that you're putting in your lungs.
401
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.000
No, it's bubblegum flavored vapor water.
402
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:35.440
Dude.
403
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.720
Yeah, it's gonna kill you at some point, you're gonna
404
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.319
suffocate yourself. But also, I can't even be mad at
405
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.799
kids on TikTok for falling for it, you know what
406
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:48.559
I mean, because they're you know, people are the big
407
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.240
vape you know, you know, the guy's a big vape, right,
408
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.319
Big vape is pushing how cool vaping is on TikTok
409
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.400
because they're trying to get the next generation to keep
410
00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.000
on vaping.
411
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.400
They saw their sales climb a little bit. They're like, hey,
412
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.519
people are just eating weed dummies. We need to kill
413
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.119
up faster.
414
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.440
So they get on TikTok and they're you know, sending
415
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.319
videos to ten eleven, twelve year olds trying to get
416
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.720
them to go steal some vapes from the gas station.
417
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.240
You know, cause a little distraction, Fill up a full
418
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.880
cup of a slurpee and then spill it so the
419
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.240
gas station attendant comes over to wipe it up, and
420
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.480
then you run off with the vapes, Nick, did you
421
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.440
do that in high school?
422
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.759
No cigars that I stole?
423
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.680
Anyway, vaping is bad, but big vapes trying to get
424
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.519
kids to do it. I can't get mad at the
425
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.519
kids for falling for it, you know what I mean?
426
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.720
Because like, movies tricked all of us into thinking that
427
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.079
cigarettes were cool. Right, every movie you watch, somebody was like,
428
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.799
main character, badass was smoking a cigarette. You're like, man,
429
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.480
that guy's cool. He's smoking a cigarette. Cigarettes must be cool.
430
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.799
I want to be cool. I'm gonna smoke a cigarette.
431
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.640
But later we learned that, you know, cigarettes were bad
432
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.759
for you, right, A whole multiple generations got fooled into
433
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.680
thinking cigarettes were cool, and everybody smoked.
434
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.160
You get smoke in an airplane? You know how nuts
435
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.519
that is?
436
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.039
Like retrospectively thinking about it, it's nuts. Back then, they're like, yeah,
437
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.039
of course, why would I not smoke? Actually, can I
438
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.400
sit in non smoking I don't want to smell like
439
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.720
cigarettes When I go see my grandma and get off
440
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.759
the plane. You're in a tube. Where's the air going?
441
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:31.640
There is no non smoking section in an airplane. Anyway,
442
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:34.400
we all felt for it. Now we found out that
443
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:35.480
cigarettes are bad.
444
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.359
They were like, wait a second, the movies didn't tell
445
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:40.799
me that these were gonna kill me.
446
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:46.200
That's what TikTok's doing now with vapes. So don't vabe
447
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.480
you know, or do it. It's your life. Everything is,
448
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.480
you know, your choice except getting rich. You know, you
449
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.880
can never be a trillionaire. That's a lot of people's choices,
450
00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:58.960
a lot.
451
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.519
Of sneaky people's. We all come together in a room
452
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.480
and we decide who's going to be the trillionaire, the
453
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.079
face of wealth.
454
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:10.880
But anyway, yeah, you're never going to be a trillionaire,
455
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.119
but you can decide a vapor not. I would probably
456
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.359
not do it because one it donewook is cool with
457
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.000
smoking cigarettes, and two you're just gonna end up suffocating yourself.
458
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.480
All right, let's get to this interview with the lead
459
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.160
guitarist from The Fray, David Welsh.
460
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.960
What's going on? Bro?
461
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:29.319
Hey man? How are you?
462
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.279
I'm doing good?
463
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:30.440
What?
464
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.039
Uh?
465
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.759
You excited to come here? You guys are touring, you'll
466
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.279
be here July tenth. Over it ever wise, what can
467
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.880
we expect?
468
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:38.240
Man?
469
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.200
Well, firstly, that is the first official stop on this tour,
470
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.599
So okay, you guys are going to get us at
471
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.119
our excited best.
472
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.240
Fresh off the vacation back to work kind of energy.
473
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:55.440
Not oh man, I can't wait to get out of
474
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.960
here type of energy. That's what's up. Man, I'm excited.
475
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.039
So are you guys feeling good about the tour? Because
476
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.240
you just dropped an album a couple of months ago,
477
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.599
So there's like an energy you guys excited to try
478
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:12.799
some new stuff out. You got some cool pyrotechnics. Well,
479
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:14.119
what what can we expect?
480
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.440
Yeah, we're we're waiting to hear back from our pyro guy.
481
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.160
We haven't. I think that's not gonna happen. Unfortunately. We
482
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.519
we kind of did a bit of a test run
483
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.519
with this tour up in Canada last month. Okay, Uh,
484
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.279
it went really well. We played we're playing like it,
485
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.680
I would say, probably two thirds of the new album,
486
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.839
you know, and mixing those in with all of the
487
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.640
ones that you know everybody wants to hear and uh,
488
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.440
I think the uh. We got another round rehearsals coming
489
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.640
up in Nashville next week where we'll polish up on
490
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.039
some new production stuff. Ok. Make, you know, make things
491
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.079
a little glitzy for people, right, stuff like that.
492
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.559
It'll be fun, dude, that's awesome, and I'm glad you
493
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.480
guys are doing mostly the new stuff. But just like uh,
494
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.039
you know, Peppering in what every Buddi's known over the
495
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:06.319
last twenty years. But that's cool because you guys, you know,
496
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.359
one of the biggest bands in the world in the
497
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.000
two thousands and you're still getting to do it now.
498
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:16.839
And there's been some different stages, different evolutions of the Fray.
499
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.599
What like, what's it like now? Is it a lot
500
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.960
more chilled, more relaxed, you guys feel free?
501
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.799
What is it?
502
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.759
You know? I think there's an element of freeness to it. Yeah,
503
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.440
I think. I mean, I can't tell if that's age
504
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.640
or what has happened over the last you know, five
505
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.039
six years, or maybe it's a combo of all those things.
506
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.240
But you know, I think when you know, when you're
507
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:42.400
starting out and you're early on, you're in your twenties
508
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.160
or maybe even not, you know, you're you've got a
509
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.720
lot to prove and that's really awesome and you end
510
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.400
up doing a lot of cool stuff. I mean, when
511
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.960
you get a little older, it's just the perspective changes.
512
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:55.920
And I mean it sounds a little cliche, but we
513
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.559
are just very grateful to be able to still do
514
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.839
this at the end of the day, right, And you know,
515
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.720
I don't know if you had that same level of
516
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.640
gratitude when you're twenty one versus forty one.
517
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.400
You know, right, probably not.
518
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.839
No, You're just like, oh wow, this is awesome, dude,
519
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:14.559
this is going to keep going forever. And then you
520
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.559
get older and you're like, I'm so glad they let
521
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.799
us do this forever for sure.
522
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.440
That's what's up, man.
523
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.200
So I do got to ask, because you've gotten to
524
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.000
live a life that most people don't get to live.
525
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.480
So aside from cause I know, touring and performing and
526
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.359
writing amazing songs is what you love doing. But can
527
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.359
you think back to any time in your career where
528
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:37.960
you got to do something and you kind of looked
529
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.400
around like I can't believe they're letting me do this,
530
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.319
or I can't believe that I'm in this position.
531
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:44.880
Did you have any of those or no?
532
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:52.000
Yeah, you know, we have done like anybody that is
533
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.960
still fortunate to be doing it this long. Like we've
534
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.319
done a lot of interesting shows over the years and
535
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.480
a lot of unique shows. But the one that comes
536
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:00.680
to mind as you say that, like, without overthinking this
537
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.720
is that the Navy asked us to go fly to
538
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.680
a craft carrier a handful of years ago and do
539
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.799
a show for everyone that was stationed on this carrier.
540
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.200
For I mean their their deployment was like six months
541
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.640
or something insane. There were people that worked in the
542
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:21.160
nuclear area of this ship that that hadn't seen sunlight
543
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.480
in weeks. It was nuts. But the wildest part of it,
544
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.000
I mean, the show was awesome. They were so appreciative.
545
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:31.799
I mean it was definitely a bucket list thing I
546
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:35.720
didn't know I had on my list. But the the
547
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.160
flying on and off of an aircraft carrier on like
548
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:45.480
a troop transport plane was the craziest getting on and
549
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.119
off of that, Like well, they they flew us on
550
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.240
on one of those get I don't remember the name
551
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.920
of some some cargo jet, a little small, little transport plane.
552
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.480
But I mean it's you are landing and they are
553
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.119
hooking you, and you were stopping like one hundred and
554
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.720
fifty miles an hour in the course of like twenty
555
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.799
feet and then the opposite happens the next day when
556
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.880
you shoot off this deck. I mean it's like the accelerate,
557
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.559
It's like nothing you've ever felt for.
558
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:19.200
That's crazy totally, Yeah, that's definitely yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Also,
559
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.079
that's hilarious that the guys in the New Clear Reactor
560
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.799
hadn't seen sunlight, and however many days and somebody knocked
561
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.640
on the door and like, hey, the phrase here. They
562
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.640
probably thought they were going insane, dude, Oh pretty much.
563
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.039
I mean they all came out like you know, ghosts
564
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:35.480
working in a They were like hissing at the sun.
565
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.480
It was awfu, that's what's up man?
566
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.039
All Right, you got a brand new album out, A
567
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.359
light that waits. What was the thought process going into
568
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.480
this album? Like, did you guys go into the studio
569
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.480
with an idea that you wanted to make happen or
570
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:53.400
were you sitting around just kind of going off each
571
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.519
other and the idea formed into what it ended up being.
572
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.279
You know a little bit of both. I think there
573
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.000
was a lot of exploration on this record. I mean
574
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:05.880
it was a dynamic that we hadn't really explored before,
575
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.880
the three of us going in and making music without
576
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.720
our fourth dude who had been there for you know, years.
577
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.960
So a lot of that was kind of like, you know,
578
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.160
is that going on a date for the first time
579
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.519
with someone you've known for a long time. But it
580
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:24.319
worked out and some you know, there were some of
581
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.359
the songs we came in that were more fully formed,
582
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.160
some of them started very much from nothing, and that
583
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.160
each song was built up over the course of the
584
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.319
day or two. And we kind of left the room
585
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.079
and thought, oh, I guess we did that. That's cool.
586
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:39.440
It is weird you can.
587
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.720
Still find yourself surprised by the process, you know, twenty
588
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:42.200
years in.
589
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.839
But right, well, that's what I like.
590
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.920
My next thing I wanted to ask because obviously you
591
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.880
guys had a shift in the band members, and I
592
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.079
got to imagine it went from oh, crap, are we
593
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.000
going to be able to keep doing this too? You
594
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.759
figured it out and then had your twenty the anniversary
595
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.960
tour and everybody came out and was like, we still
596
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.559
love you, thank you for doing this. Walk me through
597
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.200
kind of what the process of going through that was.
598
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:16.480
Yeah, actually that was that was pretty accurate. Yeah, we
599
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.200
we were uncertain for sure, as you would be kind
600
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.319
of stepping out from the shadow of what you had
601
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.680
and whether you know, we've never been a real we've
602
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.000
never been a band that's primarily face driven. I think
603
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.559
you know, it's kind of a faceless group a lot
604
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.640
of times, which is a really good blessing at the
605
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.279
end of the day. But still, I mean, that's the
606
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.119
sound of a voice what you expect to see on
607
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.599
a stage like those are still expectations that people have.
608
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.000
But yeah, we kind of eased our way into it.
609
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.119
We did kind of a very small run in the
610
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.839
fall at twenty four to kind of like wet our
611
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:58.079
toes a little bit and it went well, and so
612
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:00.720
we're like, Okay, I mean maybe it's a a blessing
613
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.160
in disguise that we have this anniversary coming up. We're
614
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.039
just going to go for it. And what happened and
615
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:08.319
the response was awesome. I mean, all of these songs
616
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.400
have just taken on their own life and that we've
617
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:16.240
we've long released control of them long ago. So yeah,
618
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.079
people were just excited to hear hear the music however
619
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.480
it could. And yeah, so now we're just kind of
620
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.960
rolling as as far as people will let us roll.
621
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.720
Well, I'm glad you guys are rolling into Andy here.
622
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:29.599
In a couple of weeks.
623
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.880
Stefray is going to be at ever Wise July the tenth,
624
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.440
and we're super excited to have you here, David. I
625
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:39.240
appreciate you taking the time talking to me. Is there
626
00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:40.720
anything else you want to promote for I'll let you
627
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.640
get out of here.
628
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.279
No other than I think I I'm coming in the
629
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.480
day before. I have a little day off between something.
630
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.319
I'm going to definitely try to go to Saint Elmo,
631
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.960
which is a bit of a ritual, so hopefully they
632
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.119
got a table for me.
633
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.680
I'm sure they will have a table and some shrimp
634
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.400
cocktail waiting for you.
635
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.119
We'll have fun. Go kill it in a couple of
636
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:05.000
weeks when you get here.
637
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:06.839
Man, thank I appreciate it.

Thank you for pressing play.
7
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:24.079
Got a cool interview for you at the end of
8
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.920
the podcast with the Weed guitarists from The Fray. David Welsh,
9
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:31.280
super cool guy. They're going to be in town in
10
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.280

00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.880
But no David Welsh was he was cool. But I
13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.240
get that for you at the end of the podcast.
14
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.439
I hope your week's going good. I hope you're getting
15
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.840
some good rests. I have just had some terrible nights
16
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.119
of sleep the past couple of days. Our new cat,
17
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:59.719
Beans got this case, super cute, you know, big fat,
18
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:03.439
worn cat, super cuddly, wants to be around us all
19
00:01:03.479 --> 00:01:03.799
the time.
20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.799
You know, he's not like pig pigs, kind of like, yeah,
21
00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:07.599
feed me and then get the fuck away from me.
22
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.000
But you know, Beans is cool.
23
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.599
He just he started this new thing where he jumps
24
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:14.840
up on the bed at like four thirty in the
25
00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.239
morning every night, because you know, if you're fat, you're
26
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:20.480
gonna want food at all times of the day. Right
27
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.519
four point thirty, he's waking up. He was like, where's
28
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:22.920
my food?
29
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.200
Exep. He kept stepping on my balls. Dude.
30
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.120
That's how I've woken up the past three nights. We
31
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:32.560
just walk up on the bed, jump on me, and
32
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.519
he just keeps jumping. I gotta wear a cup, dude,
33
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:37.680
keep stepping on my nuts to wake me up. And
34
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.680
I gotta be honest, I can't think of many worse
35
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.359
ways to get woken up getting you know, fifteen pound
36
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:50.599
cat jumping on your sack. You can DM me at
37
00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:53.799
Nick on Air Jordan if you can list some better
38
00:01:54.920 --> 00:01:57.760
or some worse ways to be woken up than a
39
00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.760
cat jumping on your balls.
40
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.159
Fun. You wake up mad immediately, and then the cat's
41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:04.480
like me, I'm I'm you win an ninety and your
42
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:09.280
cats stop stepping on my nuts, dude, It's crazy.
43
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:12.680
I do love pig More, the first cat that we got.
44
00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:14.439
Ames asked me that the other day.
45
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.960
She was like, hey, do you like more? I was like, oh,
46
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:18.599
for sure, I love pig More.
47
00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.319
Like we don't have kids, We've got two cats, but
48
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.960
I know you know parents, I know you guys pick favorites.
49
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:28.919
I know you love one kid more because Beans is nice.
50
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.280
The cat's just he's dumb dude. And I've known Pig
51
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:35.759
for like two and a half almost three years, known
52
00:02:35.800 --> 00:02:37.039
Beans for like three months.
53
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.960
Of course I love Pig more. She's like, now you've
54
00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:40.159
got to love them equally.
55
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:44.479
I don't Pig, don't jump on my nuts at four
56
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.680
thirty in the morning to wake me up. I've also
57
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.159
I think, like in addition to that, I think I'm
58
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.719
suffering from withdrawls.
59
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:54.680
I started.
60
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.879
We went to the movies Saturday night, see Toy Story
61
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:01.719
five and uh. We went to Target first to go
62
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.000
smuggle in some candy and I messed up, Like I
63
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.639
caved and I got the Nerds gummy clusters. If you
64
00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:12.560
haven't had them before, don't don't start. It's literally a
65
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.319
drug addiction. I like six months ago, me and Ames
66
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.919
went through probably a month period where we had to
67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:21.960
have a bag in the house because they're that good.
68
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:26.520
You just keep eating them, you can't stop. And I
69
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:27.439
hadn't had them, and I.
70
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:29.919
Was like, oh, yeah, I'll get some candy. Do you
71
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.919
want races?
72
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:31.479
Nah?
73
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.000
I think I'll get the Nerds gummy clusters. You remember
74
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:36.800
you had a problem with them last time. No, No,
75
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:40.120
I'll be fine this time. Wrong, just going through that bag.
76
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:42.680
I'm thinking about them when I'm sleeping, like I know,
77
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.000
I know they're in the pantry. I just go knock
78
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:46.639
out the rest of the bag. It's two in the morning.
79
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:47.719
I don't need to beating candy.
80
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:49.159
Don't do it.
81
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:52.039
If you haven't had the Nerds gummy clusters, do not
82
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:56.159
do it. Don't get the blueberry, want the blue bag?
83
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.919
Oh my god, what are we the best thing? Because
84
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:02.039
I know they specifically designed it to just hit every
85
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:05.719
taste bud on your tongue. It's impossible not to like it.
86
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.439
So I'm getting itchy right now thinking about it because
87
00:04:09.479 --> 00:04:12.159
I got to go home, and I think I was
88
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.319
just gonna I gotta eat the rest of the bag, right,
89
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:15.879
I gotta get it out of the house, and then
90
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:16.839
I just won't buy more.
91
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:19.800
That's what I'll do. Yeah, that's fine. You're talking like
92
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.480
a cocaine addict right now. Nick, I know, I just
93
00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:25.319
I can't have it in the house. Okay, I'm thinking
94
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:27.800
about it all the time. I'm losing sleep. My cat's
95
00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.600
jumping on my balls.
96
00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.759
Gotta get the nerds gummies out of the house. But no,
97
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.759
we went saw Toy Story five. And because I was
98
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:39.759
just like, you know, begging Ames ago she's she likes
99
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:44.000
Toy Story, but that wouldn't like her you know, Disney
100
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.279
movie growing up that she was a huge fan of,
101
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.800
Like she likes it, but that like Toy Story.
102
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.160
For me, that was like, Okay, I like Disney because
103
00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:52.279
I like Toy Story.
104
00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:53.199
What about me?
105
00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:56.360
You're a fine mickey, But I like buzz Lightyear.
106
00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:00.120
That's like that was me growing up. I love Toy Story.
107
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.079
So I was like, Ames, come on, we gotta go.
108
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.199
We gotta go see Toy Story five. And I was
109
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:08.079
also going into it like, Okay, this movie might suck.
110
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:12.079
It might be bad, Like, for one, I'm thirty three,
111
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:14.759
they're making this movie for seven year olds.
112
00:05:14.879 --> 00:05:15.959
I might not like it.
113
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.759
And two it's the fifth movie, you know what I mean,
114
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:21.839
they might just be doing a cash grab. I went
115
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.800
in there fully prepared for this movie to stink, and
116
00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:25.680
I was so wrong.
117
00:05:26.120 --> 00:05:27.160
I was very wrong.
118
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:31.079
Actually, it was so good, dude. It was better than
119
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.759
Toy Story four. And I'm not gonna spoil anything, but
120
00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.920
there were a couple parts in that movie that got
121
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.399
me a little bit, you know, teered up a little bit, because,
122
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:42.240
like we go to the movies, anytime there's a sad
123
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:44.839
part in the movie, I'll look over at Ames and
124
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.519
you know, she's allowed to let her emotions go, so
125
00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:52.879
she'll tear up. She'll cry in a movie theater. Not me, though,
126
00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.160
why because I have a pair of balls that my
127
00:05:56.360 --> 00:05:58.399
fat cat steps on in the middle of the night.
128
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.279
I'm not allowed to cry in front of people, right,
129
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:03.560
but I could, dude. There was a couple of parts
130
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:04.759
in that movie where I was just.
131
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.759
Like, come on, man, think of something. It was tough.
132
00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:13.560
It was. It had a happy ending, but yeah, it was.
133
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.560
It was tough. Like we got out, We got out
134
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:19.000
of the movie theater, and NAMES was like.
135
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:22.680
Oh, parts of that movie was so sad. I cried.
136
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:23.439
Did you cry?
137
00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:28.759
And I was like no, And then she made fun
138
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.480
of me the whole day. But go see Toy Story five,
139
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.319
Like even if you're an adult, like you'll you'll like it.
140
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.160
You got to pick the uh got picked the Lade
141
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:41.120
show though. That's what we went at like nine forty
142
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:44.399
five at night, and uh, there was nobody in the
143
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:44.920
movie theater.
144
00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.920
It was awesome. We just basically had it like our
145
00:06:46.959 --> 00:06:50.800
own personal movie theater. I felt like a rich person. Honestly.
146
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.839
I was like, this is what I would do if
147
00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:54.759
I had millions of dollars. I would have a big
148
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.240
screen movie theater in my mansion, and I would have
149
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.399
gotten my hands on an early copy of Toy Story
150
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:03.360
five and played it in the house and then watched
151
00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:05.319
it whenever I wanted to. The only thing I couldn't
152
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:09.160
do was I couldn't pause it when I needed to
153
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:11.839
go to the bathroom. So you know, I got some
154
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:13.360
work to do. I got some money to make so
155
00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:15.600
that I can make that a reality. But other than that,
156
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.639
other than holding my pee, it was really a good movie.
157
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.199
Uh definitely hits on the heart strings. But it wasn't
158
00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:27.079
a cash grab. It was it was good, which I
159
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.319
had like the negative pessimistic thought as soon as I
160
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:31.759
walked out of there, and I was like, man, that
161
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.680
was a really good movie. Fuck they're gonna make They're
162
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:39.120
gonna make ten more of these, and one of them's
163
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.680
gotta stink, you know what I mean, one of them's
164
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.439
gotta be bad. But it's not Toy Story five. It
165
00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:48.199
was a good one, so go see that. Oh sorry,
166
00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:51.720
I got the uh got the World Cup on right now.
167
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:55.160
I love the World Cup being on during the week.
168
00:07:55.759 --> 00:07:59.319
England can't score there, They're gonna draw with Garna.
169
00:08:00.160 --> 00:08:00.480
Gone.
170
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.560
Ah that was Australian. I apologize all the British people listening,
171
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.199
but uh no. My favorite thing about the World Cup
172
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:13.319
being on or being in like this Hemispher's time zone
173
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.279
is you got games two games on during work, so
174
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:19.720
you really don't even have to pay attention at work
175
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:23.399
and just you know, keep TV on. So Christiano Ronaldo
176
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.199
have a couple of goals today, I was nice. Yesterday
177
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.920
saw MESSI have two more and Bope had a couple,
178
00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:33.720
Holland had two. I keep seeing people, bro I'm like,
179
00:08:34.679 --> 00:08:37.679
I started off with twenty bucks. I was like, I'm
180
00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:39.440
just gonna put twenty bucks in. I'm gonna try and
181
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.519
bet on the World Cup game. See how high I
182
00:08:42.600 --> 00:08:45.279
can get my money just making small bets, nothing crazy,
183
00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:47.720
because I don't know shit about soccer, you know, I'm
184
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:49.639
just trying to make it a lot more fun to
185
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.279
watch when I'm watching. You know, Cape Verde and Spain.
186
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:55.879
Draw, which wast me money. By the way, we're good
187
00:08:55.879 --> 00:08:57.519
for Cape Verde.
188
00:08:58.279 --> 00:09:02.080
But I started with twenty bucks and I kept seeing
189
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:05.720
all these people online betting the same bet. They were like, hey,
190
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:11.240
Messi and Bopp and Holland from or Halan from Norway.
191
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:13.080
I can't even say the guy's name, that's how much
192
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:15.759
I know about soccer, the big Viking guy, you know
193
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:20.639
who I'm talking about. I saw everybody kept betting that
194
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:22.960
they were going to score a goal or score two goals,
195
00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:24.799
and I was like, dude, no way, the best players
196
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:26.200
aren't going to do that, you know what I mean, Like,
197
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.000
it's just it's two picture perfect.
198
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.159
They're not going to do it. They did it the
199
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.039
first day that they played.
200
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:35.080
Last week. I was like, okay, missed out on that.
201
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.519
Everybody's like, oh, I made like fourteen thousand dollars.
202
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:39.000
It hit.
203
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:42.559
I put fifty bucks in and paid for my rent
204
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.960
for half a year. Hell yeah.
205
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:51.000
Came around again yesterday. All the betting profiles were like, hey,
206
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:51.919
go ahead, run it.
207
00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:55.519
Again, keep parlaying it, keep doing it.
208
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:58.000
I was like, nah, dude, I'm not going to do
209
00:09:58.039 --> 00:10:00.960
it because I miss my moment, So I'm not gonna
210
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.879
spend my money on that.
211
00:10:02.799 --> 00:10:05.360
I just missed it. Gotta be okay with it. They
212
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.519
did it again. All three of them had two goals.
213
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:12.799
Bro In the same day, people made tens of thousands
214
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:17.399
of dollars off fifty hundred dollars bets. I wouldn't have
215
00:10:17.399 --> 00:10:19.799
made that much because I only got twenty you know,
216
00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:23.200
after picking the games that I picked, I think I
217
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.440
have four cents left of my DraftKings account.
218
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:28.960
Kids don't camble. Okay, it's not it's not good.
219
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:31.759
So I'm not putting any more money in the uh
220
00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:35.240
in the DraftKings account until the round of thirty two starts,
221
00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:38.440
and then you know, that's when the roll ball knows.
222
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.120
That's when that's when they shine. You know, anything can
223
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:45.240
happen in the in the group stages, but the knockout
224
00:10:45.279 --> 00:10:46.519
state that's where you make your money.
225
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:48.639
Dude, I'm not gonna make shit.
226
00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:52.399
I don't know anything about soccer, but dude, it's like
227
00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:53.879
the World Cup is so fun.
228
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:55.759
I really like.
229
00:10:56.559 --> 00:10:59.679
It's one of those things where if you're not into soccer,
230
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:03.039
that's cool, but this is happening. You know, in the
231
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:05.639
US during the day you're at work. I know, you
232
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:07.320
don't give a fuck about your job, you can't care
233
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:07.879
about soccer.
234
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:08.759
Well, but just have it on.
235
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:13.000
It's fun and everybody is having a great time. And
236
00:11:13.039 --> 00:11:18.120
my favorite part is everybody's getting along, well, at least
237
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:22.399
everybody that's playing in the US and Mexico they're having fun.
238
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:22.759
At least.
239
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.200
I haven't seen any videos of people having fun in Canada,
240
00:11:25.279 --> 00:11:30.000
but everybody that's playing, like in the US Mexico, dude, uh,
241
00:11:31.240 --> 00:11:34.159
the Mexicans and the South Koreans looked like they were
242
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:37.240
having a ball. I wanted to be down there. They've
243
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.000
just they looked like they were having so much fun.
244
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:42.799
And it's awesome because you know when you take out
245
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.600
the mean principle or our governments that are like, yeah,
246
00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:50.000
well we're rich and we don't like you poor people
247
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:52.879
getting along, because then you'll figure out that US rich
248
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.679
people calls all your problems. When they're not hanging around
249
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:59.519
telling us to hate each other, we all figure out, Oh,
250
00:11:59.639 --> 00:12:03.440
you got just like to have fun, drink, eat food, laugh,
251
00:12:04.440 --> 00:12:07.080
have a good time. That's all you want to do. Yeah,
252
00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:09.879
that's that's all we want to do. We all get along.
253
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.120
It's beautiful. That's been the best part about this World
254
00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.559
Cup and getting to see people from different countries like
255
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.639
getting super excited about stuff that we take for granted.
256
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:25.919
Here in the stits like I.
257
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.519
Saw this video of this guy from Africa just talking
258
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:32.879
about how awesome his trip to the US was, and
259
00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.159
he was like, man, it's amazing they have everything. Yesterday
260
00:12:36.320 --> 00:12:39.519
I had the best steak of my entire life. I've
261
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.720
never tasted anything so good. I can't believe like that
262
00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.279
this is available here. I want to move here. It's
263
00:12:47.320 --> 00:12:52.879
so good. I got it at this place called Longhorned Steakhouse.
264
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.919
And don't get me wrong, Longhorn, you know, has solid steak,
265
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.039
but that's not something that you know, if you've had
266
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.360
Longhorn before, you'd be like, Okay, yeah, that was a
267
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.360
solid steak. I'm a little piss that I pay fifty
268
00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:09.639
bucks for that, but it was good, right, It's better
269
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.200
than anything I was gonna cook at home. But it
270
00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:14.919
wasn't anything earth shattering. And then you see this guy
271
00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.159
just losing his mind saying this is the best thing,
272
00:13:17.279 --> 00:13:19.720
the best food he's ever tasted in his entire life.
273
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:21.799
And it's something you drive past on the way to
274
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:26.440
the mall all the time. It's right across the street
275
00:13:26.440 --> 00:13:29.519
from the Applebee's. Maybe you know, depending on how your
276
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:31.559
city's set up. Maybe there's a long horn on one
277
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:33.919
side of the street and there's an outback steakhouse on
278
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:34.679
the other side.
279
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.600
We have an abundant of riches here, and nobody can
280
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:40.960
afford anything because those.
281
00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:44.879
Fat, fucking bastards at the top half all the money.
282
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:48.759
But if they're not telling us to hate each other,
283
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:50.720
we can all be poor together and laugh and watch
284
00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:51.679
soccer and it's nice.
285
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:55.360
It's enjoyable, you know what I mean. I did see.
286
00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.840
I'm gonna preface this by saying I don't understand this
287
00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.279
stock market or money in general, because I'm dumb and.
288
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.679
Poor, but I do know how to spot bullshit.
289
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:12.440
And when Elon Musk became a trillionaire because uh, SpaceX
290
00:14:12.480 --> 00:14:16.159
got valued at like the highest what two point something
291
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:19.559
trillion dollars, that's how much the company was worth, everybody
292
00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:21.960
was like, oh, I gotta I gotta buy space X stock.
293
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:23.879
I'm gonna be rich. I'm gonna get it.
294
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:30.360
Yeah, it dropped sixteen percent this morning, like four hundred
295
00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:33.240
billion dollars got wiped out. I don't maybe it was
296
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:34.879
four hundred million. I don't want to be lying, but
297
00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:37.679
it was some crazy amount of money. No, I think
298
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:40.279
it was four hundred billion because Elon dropped from having
299
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:43.919
like one point seven trillion dollars to under a trillion
300
00:14:43.960 --> 00:14:46.840
dollars and Matt's not math, and I'm too see this
301
00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:50.679
is why I shouldn't tape finances. But basically, what happened
302
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.879
was everybody, all the rich people at the table were like, yeah, hey,
303
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:57.799
we're gonna lie and say that this thing is worth
304
00:14:57.799 --> 00:15:00.519
a lot more than it is. We're all gonna sell
305
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.240
all of our shares in it. All these poor people
306
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.200
are gonna buy it up thinking that they're gonna get
307
00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:06.960
rich off of it.
308
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:08.960
And then when we got to turn the.
309
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.519
Books in next week, people see how much it's actually worth,
310
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:13.759
and who gives a fuck?
311
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:17.080
We already got our money, right, And what happened. That happened.
312
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.919
So just remember.
313
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:24.519
Rich people hate us, Okay, not some random person that
314
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.000
likes a different team than you, or lives in a
315
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.120
different part of the country than you, or someone that
316
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:33.559
lives in a different country. They don't hate you. They
317
00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:36.919
hate the people making the rules. And that's fine because
318
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:40.399
you should never like someone that makes the rules. Shouldn't
319
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:46.720
trust politicians, oh man. But yeah, basically I'm just mad
320
00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:51.840
because I missed out not once, but twice on becoming
321
00:15:51.879 --> 00:15:54.960
a ten thousand ear, which would have been cool, but
322
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.240
I can't bet. So there's that something that's been getting
323
00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.000
all my nerves.
324
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:03.600
Facebook had an update.
325
00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:05.480
I don't know if you guys have gotten on Facebook
326
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.639
or you'll find out, you know, in three days when
327
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:08.559
you get on Facebook.
328
00:16:08.639 --> 00:16:09.519
But normally, when you.
329
00:16:09.440 --> 00:16:12.159
Would open Facebook, it would just be the feed of
330
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.200
every crazy thing that someone from your hometown said, like, Hi, man,
331
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.320
I cheated on my wife with the Hooters waitress and
332
00:16:20.360 --> 00:16:21.919
now my kids won't talk to me.
333
00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:22.879
That kind of shit.
334
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:25.159
That's why you get on Facebook, right to check see
335
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:28.799
whose birthday it is? And damn, I really want to
336
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:33.879
know what Josh is up to that kind of shit. Right, Well,
337
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:37.200
they did an update and now the first thing you
338
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:40.360
see when you open it is the Facebook Reels tab.
339
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:41.759
You got to click out of that.
340
00:16:41.840 --> 00:16:46.120
To get into the feed to find out, you know,
341
00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:49.240
when your uncle's birthday is. It's annoying, dude, stop trying
342
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:51.919
to be TikTok, and I know, like all they want
343
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:53.399
to do is just keep people in the.
344
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:55.399
App for as long as possible, because if we got
345
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:57.399
you in the app, then we get more of your
346
00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:59.480
information and you can stay in here.
347
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:01.480
You mean more many of you.
348
00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:05.720
That's what they're doing, right, But dude, please just let
349
00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:09.039
me read about the terrible lives of people that are
350
00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:11.519
dumb enough to post all of their problems on Facebook
351
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.400
and find out when my cousin's birthday is.
352
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.240
That's all I want from you, Facebook. I got TikTok. Okay,
353
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.400
I don't need you to be TikTok, but they're doing
354
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:22.880
it so.
355
00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:27.039
Just I just want to see the thoughts of a
356
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:29.039
guy I went to middle school with losing his mind?
357
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.720
Is that too much asked for on a Tuesday?
358
00:17:31.880 --> 00:17:36.079
Is it? I don't know. I guess it is apparently, Bud.
359
00:17:36.200 --> 00:17:39.400
What are you gonna do? All right, let's get.
360
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:43.079
To your headline of the week after I tell you
361
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.640
about buying T shirts? Did you forget to get your
362
00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.640
dad a a present for Father's Day?
363
00:17:50.799 --> 00:17:51.400
Huh?
364
00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.480
Your dad hates you a little bit. Give him some
365
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:56.480
T shirts, man. Go to old Glory dot com.
366
00:17:57.039 --> 00:17:59.680
They got a bunch of cool T shirts, cartoon T shirts,
367
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:05.640
move shirts, sports T shirts, bands, concerts.
368
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:08.319
You can find whatever you want cool T shirts.
369
00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:10.640
Not sure how they get away with this, you know
370
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:16.440
can't be licensed, but they're reasonably priced. And if you

That's better than Prime Day, right, Well, you got to
384
00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:51.559
get the deals up prime Day. Why.
385
00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.400
I don't even think they're giving us actual deals. They're
386
00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:56.799
just trying to pump up their numbers for Q two
387
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:01.599
so that they can get everybody to buy more Amazon stock.
388
00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:03.799
And then when they find out that it's not as
389
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:05.880
valuable as it was, all the rich people sell their
390
00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:07.160
shit and won't be left holding the back.
391
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:07.599
Anyway.
392
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.440
Your headline of the week, let's talk about something positive.
393
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:12.240
Please.
394
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:20.039
Doctors are warning that TikTok could be making vaping look
395
00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:22.599
a lot cooler and a lot less dangerous than it
396
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:23.119
really is.
397
00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:24.799
Well that's not very nice.
398
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.359
But at least they're trying to fix it, right, because
399
00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.599
we all know vaping is bad for you. It's not
400
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.119
air that you're putting in your lungs.
401
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.000
No, it's bubblegum flavored vapor water.
402
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:35.440
Dude.
403
00:19:35.519 --> 00:19:37.720
Yeah, it's gonna kill you at some point, you're gonna
404
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:41.319
suffocate yourself. But also, I can't even be mad at
405
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:43.799
kids on TikTok for falling for it, you know what
406
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:48.559
I mean, because they're you know, people are the big
407
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:51.240
vape you know, you know, the guy's a big vape, right,
408
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:56.319
Big vape is pushing how cool vaping is on TikTok
409
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.400
because they're trying to get the next generation to keep
410
00:19:58.440 --> 00:19:59.000
on vaping.
411
00:19:59.039 --> 00:20:01.400
They saw their sales climb a little bit. They're like, hey,
412
00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.519
people are just eating weed dummies. We need to kill
413
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.119
up faster.
414
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.440
So they get on TikTok and they're you know, sending
415
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:12.319
videos to ten eleven, twelve year olds trying to get
416
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:16.720
them to go steal some vapes from the gas station.
417
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:21.240
You know, cause a little distraction, Fill up a full
418
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:23.880
cup of a slurpee and then spill it so the
419
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:27.240
gas station attendant comes over to wipe it up, and
420
00:20:27.279 --> 00:20:29.480
then you run off with the vapes, Nick, did you
421
00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:30.440
do that in high school?
422
00:20:30.519 --> 00:20:31.759
No cigars that I stole?
423
00:20:31.839 --> 00:20:35.680
Anyway, vaping is bad, but big vapes trying to get
424
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:37.519
kids to do it. I can't get mad at the
425
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.519
kids for falling for it, you know what I mean?
426
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:43.720
Because like, movies tricked all of us into thinking that
427
00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:48.079
cigarettes were cool. Right, every movie you watch, somebody was like,
428
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:51.799
main character, badass was smoking a cigarette. You're like, man,
429
00:20:51.839 --> 00:20:55.480
that guy's cool. He's smoking a cigarette. Cigarettes must be cool.
430
00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:57.799
I want to be cool. I'm gonna smoke a cigarette.
431
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.640
But later we learned that, you know, cigarettes were bad
432
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:06.759
for you, right, A whole multiple generations got fooled into
433
00:21:06.759 --> 00:21:08.680
thinking cigarettes were cool, and everybody smoked.
434
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.160
You get smoke in an airplane? You know how nuts
435
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:11.519
that is?
436
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.039
Like retrospectively thinking about it, it's nuts. Back then, they're like, yeah,
437
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:20.039
of course, why would I not smoke? Actually, can I
438
00:21:20.599 --> 00:21:23.400
sit in non smoking I don't want to smell like
439
00:21:23.480 --> 00:21:25.720
cigarettes When I go see my grandma and get off
440
00:21:25.720 --> 00:21:28.759
the plane. You're in a tube. Where's the air going?
441
00:21:28.839 --> 00:21:31.640
There is no non smoking section in an airplane. Anyway,
442
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:34.400
we all felt for it. Now we found out that
443
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:35.480
cigarettes are bad.
444
00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:39.359
They were like, wait a second, the movies didn't tell
445
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:40.799
me that these were gonna kill me.
446
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:46.200
That's what TikTok's doing now with vapes. So don't vabe
447
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.480
you know, or do it. It's your life. Everything is,
448
00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:54.480
you know, your choice except getting rich. You know, you
449
00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:57.880
can never be a trillionaire. That's a lot of people's choices,
450
00:21:58.359 --> 00:21:58.960
a lot.
451
00:21:58.799 --> 00:22:02.519
Of sneaky people's. We all come together in a room
452
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:06.480
and we decide who's going to be the trillionaire, the
453
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.079
face of wealth.
454
00:22:08.519 --> 00:22:10.880
But anyway, yeah, you're never going to be a trillionaire,
455
00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:14.119
but you can decide a vapor not. I would probably
456
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:16.359
not do it because one it donewook is cool with
457
00:22:16.440 --> 00:22:21.000
smoking cigarettes, and two you're just gonna end up suffocating yourself.
458
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:24.480
All right, let's get to this interview with the lead
459
00:22:24.640 --> 00:22:27.160
guitarist from The Fray, David Welsh.
460
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:27.960
What's going on? Bro?
461
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:29.319
Hey man? How are you?
462
00:22:29.480 --> 00:22:30.279
I'm doing good?
463
00:22:30.359 --> 00:22:30.440
What?
464
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:31.039
Uh?
465
00:22:31.400 --> 00:22:33.759
You excited to come here? You guys are touring, you'll
466
00:22:33.759 --> 00:22:37.279
be here July tenth. Over it ever wise, what can
467
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:37.880
we expect?
468
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:38.240
Man?
469
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:43.200
Well, firstly, that is the first official stop on this tour,
470
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:46.599
So okay, you guys are going to get us at
471
00:22:46.680 --> 00:22:50.119
our excited best.
472
00:22:49.960 --> 00:22:53.240
Fresh off the vacation back to work kind of energy.
473
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:55.440
Not oh man, I can't wait to get out of
474
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:59.960
here type of energy. That's what's up. Man, I'm excited.
475
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.039
So are you guys feeling good about the tour? Because
476
00:23:03.200 --> 00:23:05.240
you just dropped an album a couple of months ago,
477
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:09.599
So there's like an energy you guys excited to try
478
00:23:09.640 --> 00:23:12.799
some new stuff out. You got some cool pyrotechnics. Well,
479
00:23:12.839 --> 00:23:14.119
what what can we expect?
480
00:23:14.799 --> 00:23:17.440
Yeah, we're we're waiting to hear back from our pyro guy.
481
00:23:17.519 --> 00:23:21.160
We haven't. I think that's not gonna happen. Unfortunately. We
482
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.519
we kind of did a bit of a test run
483
00:23:23.960 --> 00:23:27.519
with this tour up in Canada last month. Okay, Uh,
484
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:30.279
it went really well. We played we're playing like it,
485
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:34.680
I would say, probably two thirds of the new album,
486
00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:36.839
you know, and mixing those in with all of the
487
00:23:36.880 --> 00:23:39.640
ones that you know everybody wants to hear and uh,
488
00:23:39.799 --> 00:23:42.440
I think the uh. We got another round rehearsals coming
489
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.640
up in Nashville next week where we'll polish up on
490
00:23:45.680 --> 00:23:49.039
some new production stuff. Ok. Make, you know, make things
491
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:52.079
a little glitzy for people, right, stuff like that.
492
00:23:52.200 --> 00:23:54.559
It'll be fun, dude, that's awesome, and I'm glad you
493
00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:57.480
guys are doing mostly the new stuff. But just like uh,
494
00:23:57.559 --> 00:24:01.039
you know, Peppering in what every Buddi's known over the
495
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:06.319
last twenty years. But that's cool because you guys, you know,
496
00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:09.359
one of the biggest bands in the world in the
497
00:24:09.440 --> 00:24:12.000
two thousands and you're still getting to do it now.
498
00:24:12.039 --> 00:24:16.839
And there's been some different stages, different evolutions of the Fray.
499
00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:20.599
What like, what's it like now? Is it a lot
500
00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.960
more chilled, more relaxed, you guys feel free?
501
00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:23.799
What is it?
502
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.759
You know? I think there's an element of freeness to it. Yeah,
503
00:24:28.839 --> 00:24:31.440
I think. I mean, I can't tell if that's age
504
00:24:31.599 --> 00:24:33.640
or what has happened over the last you know, five
505
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.039
six years, or maybe it's a combo of all those things.
506
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:39.240
But you know, I think when you know, when you're
507
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:42.400
starting out and you're early on, you're in your twenties
508
00:24:42.519 --> 00:24:45.160
or maybe even not, you know, you're you've got a
509
00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:48.720
lot to prove and that's really awesome and you end
510
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:50.400
up doing a lot of cool stuff. I mean, when
511
00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.960
you get a little older, it's just the perspective changes.
512
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:55.920
And I mean it sounds a little cliche, but we
513
00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:58.559
are just very grateful to be able to still do
514
00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:01.839
this at the end of the day, right, And you know,
515
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.720
I don't know if you had that same level of
516
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:06.640
gratitude when you're twenty one versus forty one.
517
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.400
You know, right, probably not.
518
00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.839
No, You're just like, oh wow, this is awesome, dude,
519
00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:14.559
this is going to keep going forever. And then you
520
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:16.559
get older and you're like, I'm so glad they let
521
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:18.799
us do this forever for sure.
522
00:25:19.559 --> 00:25:20.440
That's what's up, man.
523
00:25:20.480 --> 00:25:23.200
So I do got to ask, because you've gotten to
524
00:25:23.200 --> 00:25:26.000
live a life that most people don't get to live.
525
00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:29.480
So aside from cause I know, touring and performing and
526
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.359
writing amazing songs is what you love doing. But can
527
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:36.359
you think back to any time in your career where
528
00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:37.960
you got to do something and you kind of looked
529
00:25:38.000 --> 00:25:40.400
around like I can't believe they're letting me do this,
530
00:25:40.519 --> 00:25:42.319
or I can't believe that I'm in this position.
531
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:44.880
Did you have any of those or no?
532
00:25:46.599 --> 00:25:52.000
Yeah, you know, we have done like anybody that is
533
00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:53.960
still fortunate to be doing it this long. Like we've
534
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.319
done a lot of interesting shows over the years and
535
00:25:56.400 --> 00:25:58.480
a lot of unique shows. But the one that comes
536
00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:00.680
to mind as you say that, like, without overthinking this
537
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.720
is that the Navy asked us to go fly to
538
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.680
a craft carrier a handful of years ago and do
539
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.799
a show for everyone that was stationed on this carrier.
540
00:26:12.039 --> 00:26:14.200
For I mean their their deployment was like six months
541
00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.640
or something insane. There were people that worked in the
542
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:21.160
nuclear area of this ship that that hadn't seen sunlight
543
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:26.480
in weeks. It was nuts. But the wildest part of it,
544
00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.000
I mean, the show was awesome. They were so appreciative.
545
00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:31.799
I mean it was definitely a bucket list thing I
546
00:26:31.799 --> 00:26:35.720
didn't know I had on my list. But the the
547
00:26:35.880 --> 00:26:39.160
flying on and off of an aircraft carrier on like
548
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:45.480
a troop transport plane was the craziest getting on and
549
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:49.119
off of that, Like well, they they flew us on
550
00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.240
on one of those get I don't remember the name
551
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:56.920
of some some cargo jet, a little small, little transport plane.
552
00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:59.480
But I mean it's you are landing and they are
553
00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.119
hooking you, and you were stopping like one hundred and
554
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.720
fifty miles an hour in the course of like twenty
555
00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:08.799
feet and then the opposite happens the next day when
556
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:11.880
you shoot off this deck. I mean it's like the accelerate,
557
00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:13.559
It's like nothing you've ever felt for.
558
00:27:14.119 --> 00:27:19.200
That's crazy totally, Yeah, that's definitely yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Also,
559
00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:22.079
that's hilarious that the guys in the New Clear Reactor
560
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:24.799
hadn't seen sunlight, and however many days and somebody knocked
561
00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:27.640
on the door and like, hey, the phrase here. They
562
00:27:27.640 --> 00:27:30.640
probably thought they were going insane, dude, Oh pretty much.
563
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:33.039
I mean they all came out like you know, ghosts
564
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:35.480
working in a They were like hissing at the sun.
565
00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:38.480
It was awfu, that's what's up man?
566
00:27:38.519 --> 00:27:41.039
All Right, you got a brand new album out, A
567
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:45.359
light that waits. What was the thought process going into
568
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:47.480
this album? Like, did you guys go into the studio
569
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:50.480
with an idea that you wanted to make happen or
570
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:53.400
were you sitting around just kind of going off each
571
00:27:53.440 --> 00:27:56.519
other and the idea formed into what it ended up being.
572
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:59.279
You know a little bit of both. I think there
573
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:02.000
was a lot of exploration on this record. I mean
574
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:05.880
it was a dynamic that we hadn't really explored before,
575
00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:08.880
the three of us going in and making music without
576
00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.720
our fourth dude who had been there for you know, years.
577
00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:14.960
So a lot of that was kind of like, you know,
578
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:17.160
is that going on a date for the first time
579
00:28:17.200 --> 00:28:20.519
with someone you've known for a long time. But it
580
00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:24.319
worked out and some you know, there were some of
581
00:28:24.359 --> 00:28:26.359
the songs we came in that were more fully formed,
582
00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:30.160
some of them started very much from nothing, and that
583
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:32.160
each song was built up over the course of the
584
00:28:32.240 --> 00:28:34.319
day or two. And we kind of left the room
585
00:28:34.359 --> 00:28:37.079
and thought, oh, I guess we did that. That's cool.
586
00:28:38.519 --> 00:28:39.440
It is weird you can.
587
00:28:39.359 --> 00:28:41.720
Still find yourself surprised by the process, you know, twenty
588
00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:42.200
years in.
589
00:28:42.240 --> 00:28:44.839
But right, well, that's what I like.
590
00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.920
My next thing I wanted to ask because obviously you
591
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.880
guys had a shift in the band members, and I
592
00:28:51.880 --> 00:28:55.079
got to imagine it went from oh, crap, are we
593
00:28:55.160 --> 00:28:57.000
going to be able to keep doing this too? You
594
00:28:57.079 --> 00:29:00.759
figured it out and then had your twenty the anniversary
595
00:29:00.759 --> 00:29:02.960
tour and everybody came out and was like, we still
596
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:05.559
love you, thank you for doing this. Walk me through
597
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.200
kind of what the process of going through that was.
598
00:29:09.559 --> 00:29:16.480
Yeah, actually that was that was pretty accurate. Yeah, we
599
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.200
we were uncertain for sure, as you would be kind
600
00:29:20.240 --> 00:29:23.319
of stepping out from the shadow of what you had
601
00:29:23.400 --> 00:29:26.680
and whether you know, we've never been a real we've
602
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.000
never been a band that's primarily face driven. I think
603
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:32.559
you know, it's kind of a faceless group a lot
604
00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:34.640
of times, which is a really good blessing at the
605
00:29:34.720 --> 00:29:38.279
end of the day. But still, I mean, that's the
606
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:41.119
sound of a voice what you expect to see on
607
00:29:41.160 --> 00:29:43.599
a stage like those are still expectations that people have.
608
00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:48.000
But yeah, we kind of eased our way into it.
609
00:29:48.039 --> 00:29:52.119
We did kind of a very small run in the
610
00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:54.839
fall at twenty four to kind of like wet our
611
00:29:54.839 --> 00:29:58.079
toes a little bit and it went well, and so
612
00:29:58.160 --> 00:30:00.720
we're like, Okay, I mean maybe it's a a blessing
613
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.160
in disguise that we have this anniversary coming up. We're
614
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.039
just going to go for it. And what happened and
615
00:30:05.079 --> 00:30:08.319
the response was awesome. I mean, all of these songs
616
00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:11.400
have just taken on their own life and that we've
617
00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:16.240
we've long released control of them long ago. So yeah,
618
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.079
people were just excited to hear hear the music however
619
00:30:19.079 --> 00:30:22.480
it could. And yeah, so now we're just kind of
620
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:25.960
rolling as as far as people will let us roll.
621
00:30:26.119 --> 00:30:28.720
Well, I'm glad you guys are rolling into Andy here.
622
00:30:28.759 --> 00:30:29.599
In a couple of weeks.
623
00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:33.880
Stefray is going to be at ever Wise July the tenth,
624
00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:37.440
and we're super excited to have you here, David. I
625
00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:39.240

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:40.720
anything else you want to promote for I'll let you
627
00:30:40.720 --> 00:30:41.640
get out of here.
628
00:30:42.599 --> 00:30:45.279
No other than I think I I'm coming in the
629
00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:47.480
day before. I have a little day off between something.
630
00:30:47.559 --> 00:30:49.319
I'm going to definitely try to go to Saint Elmo,
631
00:30:50.039 --> 00:30:52.960
which is a bit of a ritual, so hopefully they
632
00:30:53.039 --> 00:30:54.119
got a table for me.
633
00:30:54.319 --> 00:30:57.680
I'm sure they will have a table and some shrimp
634
00:30:57.759 --> 00:31:00.400
cocktail waiting for you.
635
00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:04.119
We'll have fun. Go kill it in a couple of
636
00:31:04.119 --> 00:31:05.000
weeks when you get here.
637
00:31:05.039 --> 00:31:06.839
Man, thank I appreciate it.
