I could wear my own ass

23
00:01:46,020 --> 00:01:48,020
I could wear my own ass

24
00:01:50,020 --> 00:01:53,020
What's up man, tell us who's with us today

25
00:01:53,020 --> 00:02:01,020
Well, I got my producers and I'm also officially being I'm gonna be their number one artist

00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,020
There you go

00:02:03,020 --> 00:02:08,020
You know it is you show me I'm gonna be working with them on a one-on-one basis

00:02:08,020 --> 00:02:11,020
Also, Jesse Jackson shot out a pipe game. There you go. There you go

29
00:02:11,020 --> 00:02:16,020
But yeah, we've I've been working on music with them for the past year

30
00:02:16,020 --> 00:02:21,020
They help me out with my album that's gonna release pretty soon. I'll get into that right now

31
00:02:21,020 --> 00:02:26,020
And yeah, they've they've been helping me out. I don't know if y'all want to introduce yourself

32
00:02:26,020 --> 00:02:34,020
Ricky Gonzalez and producer for water one of our players studios and we're here making this music happen been working with Brandon for about

33
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:41,020
They're a little bit over a year almost producing non-stop. It's been constant productive work, which is great

34
00:02:41,020 --> 00:02:46,020
You know nothing to get the block, you know block the the constructive route of music

35
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:52,020
Everything's been great as far as I go and working here with my boy Mike Valdez making everything happen

36
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:56,020
And also express a bit of himself. All right, man. Who else is there with us? Go ahead

37
00:02:56,020 --> 00:03:03,020
Oh, my name is Michael. That's I'm the owner of Claire's studio and yeah, it's been great working with water and with Ricky alongside

38
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:08,020
Yes, sir. Get stuff done just your hustle from this guy. He's always in there

39
00:03:08,020 --> 00:03:12,020
He's always coming by always recording stuff always always ready for the song

40
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:17,020
Yeah, we get a lot of product and stuff done with Ricky most of the time like whenever he's in the studio work gets done

41
00:03:17,020 --> 00:03:19,020
You feel me? Right, right, right

42
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:24,020
And the young ladies will take my name is Celine Gris. I'm also a little artist here in the RGB

43
00:03:24,020 --> 00:03:27,020
Pleasure me. No, don't forget about it

44
00:03:27,020 --> 00:03:32,020
I'm just here. I'm just here

45
00:03:32,020 --> 00:03:37,020
I get it now

46
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:40,020
So tell us a little bit about yourselves, man

47
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:43,020
Let's start with the un-mitty first because of why I'm sorry you've been here

48
00:03:43,020 --> 00:03:49,020
No, I am. So let's start with the un-mitty first. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where you from and how you guys started

49
00:03:49,020 --> 00:03:53,020
I'm from originally from Mission, Texas born and raised in Alamo

50
00:03:53,020 --> 00:03:59,020
A little bit about my music. My style is more of indie and Americana

51
00:03:59,020 --> 00:04:06,020
I've had a little bit of a hard time discovering what my true identity with music was in the very beginning

52
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:12,020
However, as an artist you tend to experiment the more you experiment the more you season your sound and your style

53
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:17,020
So through that you just find an identity of a multitude of things

54
00:04:17,020 --> 00:04:21,020
And that's how I describe what Americana means to me

55
00:04:21,020 --> 00:04:23,020
There you go, there you go

56
00:04:23,020 --> 00:04:30,020
Now, coming into this group as speaking to the gentleman who owns the studio, correct?

57
00:04:30,020 --> 00:04:31,020
Sure

58
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:37,020
How did you get into in the music industry and how did you come out making your studio come

59
00:04:37,020 --> 00:04:39,020
Making that studio become a dream come true for yourself?

60
00:04:39,020 --> 00:04:40,020
A studio or a label?

61
00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:45,020
Well, it's a studio but we're getting our way to becoming a label

62
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:46,020
Oh, okay, alright, alright

63
00:04:46,020 --> 00:04:50,020
But actually I came through the studio because my dad's a Tejano legend

64
00:04:50,020 --> 00:04:51,020
There you go

65
00:04:51,020 --> 00:04:57,020
And so he recorded a lot of his hit songs through the studio after he was with Hacienda and everything like that

66
00:04:57,020 --> 00:05:00,020
So it's a group of romance

67
00:05:00,020 --> 00:05:02,020
Okay, I know you're talking about now

68
00:05:02,020 --> 00:05:06,020
And so like they've been around for the longest time

69
00:05:06,020 --> 00:05:07,020
Yeah, yeah

70
00:05:07,020 --> 00:05:13,020
So I left, I went on tour with the circus for like seven years as music director

71
00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:18,020
And when I came back from my tour, he was like, hey, you can keep the studio, you know

72
00:05:18,020 --> 00:05:20,020
Like I see you're getting serious with the music

73
00:05:20,020 --> 00:05:23,020
And I was like, okay, cool

74
00:05:23,020 --> 00:05:29,020
And then I just ran with it and I started just bringing in all kinds of talent

75
00:05:29,020 --> 00:05:32,020
Scouting talent, going looking for musicians

76
00:05:32,020 --> 00:05:35,020
And just helping them get to the next step

77
00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:38,020
You know, like never in it for the money

78
00:05:38,020 --> 00:05:40,020
Always in it to help the community

79
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:42,020
So I always have bringing people in

80
00:05:42,020 --> 00:05:47,020
If I see that they got something going for them but they don't have the finances to get recorded somewhere

81
00:05:47,020 --> 00:05:48,020
I always bring them in

82
00:05:48,020 --> 00:05:49,020
There you go

83
00:05:49,020 --> 00:05:50,020
And I record their songs

84
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:52,020
So they always have one song done

85
00:05:52,020 --> 00:05:56,020
That's always the main goal for me is to get somebody with material

86
00:05:56,020 --> 00:06:00,020
Give them the material that they need and then let's see where they can get to from there

87
00:06:00,020 --> 00:06:07,020
I usually end up recording two to three songs with them before I let them go in the room

88
00:06:07,020 --> 00:06:10,020
But it's never like you belong here

89
00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:13,020
It's like, yeah man, like here take this stuff

90
00:06:13,020 --> 00:06:17,020
Do with it as you please and let's see where it takes you

91
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:22,020
And it's helped out a lot of artists, a lot of people, like young water

92
00:06:22,020 --> 00:06:26,020
I gotta say, working with him has been a big opportunity for me

93
00:06:26,020 --> 00:06:28,020
It's helped me out a lot

94
00:06:28,020 --> 00:06:31,020
I met Mike through the open mic nights

95
00:06:31,020 --> 00:06:33,020
He's one of the hosts for the Flying Walrus

96
00:06:33,020 --> 00:06:36,020
And your artists that are trying to get out there and stuff like that

97
00:06:36,020 --> 00:06:42,020
That's like an open space for new open coming artists to get their names out there, you feel me?

98
00:06:42,020 --> 00:06:46,020
And that's how I started working with them

99
00:06:46,020 --> 00:06:48,020
And it's been helping me out a lot

100
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:53,020
And I'm gonna continue doing more music with them, more stuff, you feel me?

101
00:06:53,020 --> 00:06:55,020
And I hope it gets bigger and bigger, you feel me?

102
00:06:55,020 --> 00:06:57,020
That's awesome, that's great

103
00:06:57,020 --> 00:07:00,020
So how about yourself? Tell us a little bit about yourself

104
00:07:00,020 --> 00:07:06,020
Myself, my name is Ricky G. Once again, I've been producing for at least 20 years

105
00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:11,020
I've been doing it for a while, before anything I was a musician as well

106
00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:16,020
Just like Mike, I was touring musician playing with saucepans and doing jazz and stuff like that

107
00:07:16,020 --> 00:07:19,020
Got back into the groove of working in the studio

108
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:24,020
Got my bachelor and master's degree in audio and mastering engineering at Full Sail

109
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:27,020
And I was in the game, one of their teachers at the time

110
00:07:27,020 --> 00:07:32,020
And I came back to the valley where it was calling me and we got back into the game

111
00:07:32,020 --> 00:07:36,020
And Mike came like, yo, now I'm studying, now I'm in school, there's something about it

112
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:40,020
And he came back in perfect timing, we linked up and everything just magically started appearing

113
00:07:40,020 --> 00:07:42,020
That's awesome, dude, that's awesome

114
00:07:42,020 --> 00:07:47,020
And thankfully it's been grateful and meeting you, seeing all these cats come in to find Walrus

115
00:07:47,020 --> 00:07:53,020
And now it's been an awesome experience, cause you get to see an experience different creativity

116
00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:57,020
I know one of our guests is a little jumpy right now, he's making over his shoulder

117
00:07:57,020 --> 00:08:01,020
He's like, Benjy, he's talking about it

118
00:08:01,020 --> 00:08:03,020
Where is he?

119
00:08:03,020 --> 00:08:09,020
We're talking about some stuff before and which we'll get into later on, we'll get into the second half

120
00:08:09,020 --> 00:08:12,020
But let's talk about it here first

121
00:08:12,020 --> 00:08:14,020
Let's talk about it here first

122
00:08:14,020 --> 00:08:19,020
Let the young ones that are in the room listen to exactly who you guys are, you run out and just talk to them

123
00:08:19,020 --> 00:08:23,020
Before you go now, pretty much a little smoke screen

124
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:25,020
Scoop!

125
00:08:25,020 --> 00:08:36,020
No, but so coming back as far as we interviewed Walrus last time he was here, we were talking about trying to climb the ladder to get to where you're at right now

126
00:08:36,020 --> 00:08:40,020
It's a success and fortunately it's slowly happening

127
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:47,020
Being a producer, being a lead guy for a studio or label itself

128
00:08:47,020 --> 00:08:52,020
Or a new artist that's walking into this industry

129
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:55,020
How do you feel the industry here in the RGV looks like for you guys?

130
00:08:55,020 --> 00:09:06,020
I know it's tough, anybody, any musician can say out there, man if I can be big in my hometown, in my area, I can make it anywhere

131
00:09:06,020 --> 00:09:11,020
But here it's kind of different cause it's a vice versa reaction to us here

132
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:13,020
It's a very sensitive topic

133
00:09:13,020 --> 00:09:15,020
Yes, it is

134
00:09:15,020 --> 00:09:21,020
It's multicultural, so you've got multiple people listening to different types of music

135
00:09:21,020 --> 00:09:26,020
Trying to figure out which genre is going to be the one genre that's going to hit that niche in this area

136
00:09:26,020 --> 00:09:33,020
Exactly, so the years that you've seen it now that you've been back trying to get the groove running

137
00:09:33,020 --> 00:09:39,020
What are the obstacles that you see that sometimes you know what, you're going to have to bite the bullet here

138
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:41,020
We're going to have to maybe cut a corner here

139
00:09:41,020 --> 00:09:47,020
I know we want to go buy the book, but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do to get out there

140
00:09:47,020 --> 00:09:51,020
What is your analogy or your analysis on that?

141
00:09:51,020 --> 00:09:54,020
Well as far as like cutting corners and stuff

142
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:59,020
That's always been like, cause we don't cut no corners in the studio

143
00:09:59,020 --> 00:10:03,020
For say music wise, we always do everything full

144
00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:09,020
It's when we get to the video production, we get to doing the videos and we don't have that kind of help

145
00:10:09,020 --> 00:10:13,020
So we're not charging the artists and we're putting out the money for that

146
00:10:13,020 --> 00:10:20,020
So we can't just dish like a thousand dollars out to a videographer to make a video for one of our artists

147
00:10:20,020 --> 00:10:25,020
So there's where we end up having to cut some corners to try and just get some material out

148
00:10:25,020 --> 00:10:30,020
Like unbelievable, like being able to release a song without a music video on it

149
00:10:30,020 --> 00:10:33,020
Because it won't get the kind of traction

150
00:10:33,020 --> 00:10:37,020
And it just sells better when they can see what they're listening to

151
00:10:37,020 --> 00:10:41,020
We can promote that on TikTok, on YouTube, on Facebook, what have you

152
00:10:41,020 --> 00:10:47,020
So usually when it gets to the production side of videos, we end up having to figure things out

153
00:10:47,020 --> 00:10:52,020
Luckily we've had some videographers meet us in the middle

154
00:10:52,020 --> 00:10:56,020
They see what we're doing, let's help them out

155
00:10:56,020 --> 00:10:59,020
I believe in this project, let me help you believe in it too

156
00:10:59,020 --> 00:11:01,020
And let's see where we can go with it

157
00:11:01,020 --> 00:11:05,020
One of our last videos we did was with a band called Colego Alea

158
00:11:05,020 --> 00:11:09,020
And they're at like 300,000 views right now

159
00:11:09,020 --> 00:11:14,020
And they didn't have the finances or any of that to put the video together

160
00:11:14,020 --> 00:11:19,020
But we got together with a videographer and they get 500,000, 300,000

161
00:11:19,020 --> 00:11:20,020
300,000 views

162
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:21,020
And climbing

163
00:11:21,020 --> 00:11:22,020
And climbing

164
00:11:22,020 --> 00:11:23,020
Wow

165
00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:27,020
And they've worked with all kinds of other videographers and studios

166
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:33,020
But all those other videos are like 5,000 views, 6,000 views, 10,000 views

167
00:11:33,020 --> 00:11:35,020
I think one of them is like 90,000

168
00:11:35,020 --> 00:11:38,020
So like this one from our studio

169
00:11:38,020 --> 00:11:42,020
And it's been their biggest hit

170
00:11:42,020 --> 00:11:46,020
And I feel like it had a lot to do with the quality

171
00:11:46,020 --> 00:11:49,020
And even of the video itself, the videographers that we got

172
00:11:49,020 --> 00:11:54,020
They had this idea that we were just like, yeah, let's run with it

173
00:11:54,020 --> 00:11:57,020
And we shot everything in the hood

174
00:11:57,020 --> 00:12:01,020
Basically like 5 minutes from the studio we had this kind of release

175
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,020
So you can see the studio

176
00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:06,020
And they flew it drone over the studio and they flew it into the studio

177
00:12:06,020 --> 00:12:07,020
Oh wow

178
00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:09,020
It's cool, it's cool

179
00:12:09,020 --> 00:12:13,020
Because it doesn't look like a studio from the outside and as soon as you're flying

180
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:17,020
You see the booths, the bar, the lights, neons and everything

181
00:12:17,020 --> 00:12:18,020
Right, right, right

182
00:12:18,020 --> 00:12:23,020
So it's almost like you get immersed into another realm music

183
00:12:23,020 --> 00:12:24,020
Right, exactly

184
00:12:24,020 --> 00:12:28,020
But that's the only place that I see us usually cutting corners with it

185
00:12:28,020 --> 00:12:32,020
As far as obstacles, it's always about preference of the listener

186
00:12:32,020 --> 00:12:38,020
And a lot of times people down here, they say they like classic rock

187
00:12:38,020 --> 00:12:43,020
But they like some classic rock songs

188
00:12:43,020 --> 00:12:45,020
Right, right, right, right

189
00:12:45,020 --> 00:12:48,020
Or they like rap, but they like just some songs

190
00:12:48,020 --> 00:12:54,020
So like trying to find the balance between taking little nuances from songs that they like

191
00:12:54,020 --> 00:12:57,020
And putting them together and selling that new product

192
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:58,020
Right

193
00:12:58,020 --> 00:13:01,020
So that's our obstacle down here, we're going to the public down here

194
00:13:01,020 --> 00:13:02,020
But you go up north

195
00:13:02,020 --> 00:13:03,020
That was my next question

196
00:13:03,020 --> 00:13:06,020
You go to the west or the east and you have to go to Texas

197
00:13:06,020 --> 00:13:08,020
Yeah, that's where it starts

198
00:13:08,020 --> 00:13:10,020
And that's where it starts

199
00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:14,020
And that's what I was going to ask you since you've been a traveling musician yourself

200
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:18,020
You've been practically either the whole state of Texas, the honest state of Texas, wherever

201
00:13:18,020 --> 00:13:23,020
And the genres of music is different from what we are used to here

202
00:13:23,020 --> 00:13:25,020
Yeah, it's always like that

203
00:13:25,020 --> 00:13:30,020
When you're up there listening to this style, do you try to bring that down?

204
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:34,020
I try to incorporate a little bit of something new

205
00:13:34,020 --> 00:13:36,020
That way we can kind of, and I bring it peacefully

206
00:13:36,020 --> 00:13:39,020
That way people don't get feeling like the whole beat is going to be like over and over

207
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:42,020
I kind of bring it into the beat slightly, that way people feel it

208
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:44,020
And then they don't get like over encompassed

209
00:13:44,020 --> 00:13:47,020
Because sometimes if you keep putting that same time of people just

210
00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:51,020
But if you throw it in there slightly and then pull it out of the song

211
00:13:51,020 --> 00:13:56,020
Then everyone kind of starts, you know, they get attracted to it

212
00:13:56,020 --> 00:14:00,020
And going back to that, working alongside this guy on the album

213
00:14:00,020 --> 00:14:06,020
It's been amazing, it's quality wise everything, I've heard it, it sounds amazing

214
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:11,020
I can't wait to officially drop it, I know I've been delaying it for some time and stuff like that

215
00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:15,020
But now I'm officially like, okay it's ready, I want to drop this

216
00:14:15,020 --> 00:14:17,020
And it's going to be out on all platforms

217
00:14:17,020 --> 00:14:22,020
Well let's take it back to day one when you jumped into the studio and started doing this album

218
00:14:22,020 --> 00:14:26,020
What was your reaction going first of all, the first song?

219
00:14:26,020 --> 00:14:29,020
Because I know doing it, being in the studio, doing the recording

220
00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:33,020
And Quest can be the same thing when you're doing music wise

221
00:14:33,020 --> 00:14:37,020
It's very critical to every little thing you do, you got to hit the right note

222
00:14:37,020 --> 00:14:41,020
You got to be on tempo, you got to be on the money at all costs

223
00:14:41,020 --> 00:14:45,020
That's why I fall in love with this guy, music, because he's very diverse, I like that

224
00:14:45,020 --> 00:14:51,020
That's why I was always changing, so the way I came up with Water Mania was I was watching wrestling

225
00:14:51,020 --> 00:14:56,020
And you feel me, like every main event is WrestleMania, you know what I'm saying

226
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:59,020
So I'm making this as like, that's going to be the main event, you feel me?

227
00:14:59,020 --> 00:15:00,020
Right

228
00:15:00,020 --> 00:15:04,020
And when I started, when I got into the studio with this guy, when I started

229
00:15:04,020 --> 00:15:07,020
I was kind of like, okay you know what, we're just going to make some hits and that's it

230
00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:13,020
But hearing the final product, hearing the album itself, it changes, it varies

231
00:15:13,020 --> 00:15:17,020
You know, it's not, you're not going to get the same song every time you feel me

232
00:15:17,020 --> 00:15:21,020
It's going to be different, it's emotion wise, it hits you emotionally

233
00:15:21,020 --> 00:15:25,020
Out of all the songs you've done for your album, hold on, hold on

234
00:15:25,020 --> 00:15:29,020
I got a buddy of mine here, it's Louie bro, it's Louie, he's leading me up here

235
00:15:29,020 --> 00:15:33,020
Our number one fan here, I'm sorry Louie, here we go, one, two, three, AMA!

236
00:15:33,020 --> 00:15:37,020
There you go Louie, and Louie's asking, what about the song AMA?

237
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:41,020
I don't know, I cannot be done, out of, sorry guys

238
00:15:41,020 --> 00:15:46,020
You gotta get a proposal, rock and roll J did a provocal, this is true, come on now

239
00:15:46,020 --> 00:15:48,020
This is true

240
00:15:48,020 --> 00:15:57,020
So, all the songs that you've done, that you've done for this album, which one, there's always got to be that one song

241
00:15:57,020 --> 00:16:04,020
That you're like, you've done it so many times already, and you just, you're like, why do we have this song in here?

242
00:16:04,020 --> 00:16:10,020
I know I wrote the damn thing, but why do I have to, is there one song, can you see that one song?

243
00:16:10,020 --> 00:16:15,020
That you struggle with, and you're like, oh, is usually the one that...

244
00:16:15,020 --> 00:16:17,020
It was like the hardest song to work on?

245
00:16:17,020 --> 00:16:21,020
What was the hardest song to work on, man?

246
00:16:21,020 --> 00:16:32,020
I mean, usually when I go into the studio bro, it's really in and out, you know, like, I get it done as you know, real quick, right there

247
00:16:32,020 --> 00:16:38,020
Man, I gotta say, the needy of it, I think was far away to make the best

248
00:16:38,020 --> 00:16:46,020
Yeah, that was like the most, it's a two-part song, so you're gonna get the first part, and then it's the second part

249
00:16:46,020 --> 00:16:57,020
So, in the first part, I talk about, in that song, it's more about, I lost some friends, I had some friends that passed away back then, you know

250
00:16:57,020 --> 00:17:00,020
And I made this song dedicated to them, you feel me?

251
00:17:00,020 --> 00:17:09,020
And it was hard, it was hard making the song, because I had to put my emotion into it, and I had to think about, you know, go back and think about that day, you feel me?

252
00:17:09,020 --> 00:17:20,020
So, I mean, it's a really amazing song, I can't wait for everybody to hear it, like I said, it's a two-part thing, so the first part's just me, and then the second part is featuring Jesse Jackson

253
00:17:20,020 --> 00:17:28,020
So he talks about his uncle passing away as well too, so yeah, that's awesome

254
00:17:28,020 --> 00:17:40,020
Yeah, and I've been working alongside with Jesse Jackson on all my projects and stuff like that, we have a lot of features coming out, a lot of valley rappers, valley artists that we've been working with and stuff like that

255
00:17:40,020 --> 00:17:46,020
I have a feature coming up with Conjuring, the reggaeton artist, pretty soon, so I can't wait for that one as well

256
00:17:46,020 --> 00:17:47,020
Awesome

257
00:17:47,020 --> 00:17:52,020
These guys produced it for me, so, you know what I'm saying, like, it's a hit, it's one of the ones

258
00:17:52,020 --> 00:18:13,020
Awesome, now being the new artist, looking from the outside in, seeing him in the studio working, what's going through your mind as far as, like, wow, I mean, this is all happening in front of me, are you, at the same time you're watching this, are you taking notes, trying to say, you know what, I need to be on point when it's my turn to get in there

259
00:18:13,020 --> 00:18:15,020
I mean, what are your thoughts on that?

260
00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:33,020
Well, my thoughts, I've had the honor to work alongside these gentlemen and be in the studio with Waters, it's all work, no playing, like, these gentlemen really just go in there and they nip it in the bud and each time they do, it's just, they don't stop

261
00:18:33,020 --> 00:18:42,020
Even if they get something wrong, they're like, we'll perfect it in a moment, we'll perfect it, we'll come back to it, however, let's just keep going because we don't know what else we can create or get from this moment

262
00:18:42,020 --> 00:18:44,020
Right, right, right here

263
00:18:44,020 --> 00:18:50,020
Yeah, that's the good thing when you have a group of people together in a studio, you know, there's so much brainstorming going on

264
00:18:50,020 --> 00:18:57,020
Having, yeah, it's more like having a team of individuals that are on the same damn page, they have the same vision

265
00:18:57,020 --> 00:19:05,020
Yeah, and the cool part about Mike's studio is, like, you be chilling at the studio and a whole band will come in, you know what I'm saying?

266
00:19:05,020 --> 00:19:16,020
Like, a lot of artists, you know what I'm saying? Like, a whole band will be jamming out there and they'll be like, hey, can you add a part to this song? Or can you do this? And they'll be like, yeah, like, I'll stick around, like, I don't mind putting in the work, you feel me?

267
00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:23,020
So they'll be cooking up a beat and they'll be like, they'll bring like a live saxophone or they'll bring like a live piano is or something like that, you know?

268
00:19:23,020 --> 00:19:26,020
You got the piano guy, he has a little mucky in his shoulder, what the hell?

269
00:19:26,020 --> 00:19:28,020
Is that mucky doing anything?

270
00:19:30,020 --> 00:19:32,020
I'll flick out there, bro!

271
00:19:32,020 --> 00:19:34,020
You got a mucky on!

272
00:19:34,020 --> 00:19:37,020
You know what I'm gonna say, behind us we won't be scared of you.

273
00:19:40,020 --> 00:19:41,020
I'll block the way.

274
00:19:41,020 --> 00:19:43,020
Pop on inside your shoulder, it's okay.

275
00:19:45,020 --> 00:19:52,020
And going back to, like, people coming into the studio, I want to give a big shout out to Wes. He was on the piano for Fly Away.

276
00:19:52,020 --> 00:19:57,020
It came out really, really solid. Like, his piano part was amazing.

277
00:19:57,020 --> 00:20:02,020
It brought in the song together, it tied everything in, you know?

278
00:20:02,020 --> 00:20:08,020
That was one of those last minute add-ons to this, because I brought it in because we were doing some work for this Broadway in Colorado.

279
00:20:08,020 --> 00:20:11,020
He was gonna record some parts so I could send out to them.

280
00:20:11,020 --> 00:20:24,020
And Water was like, you know, hey, what if we did something like they're working on a song and I'm like, hey, you know what, we'll tie those songs together, live piano, let's throw it in there and try to doubt and Wes Lee's, he's just a straight badass.

281
00:20:24,020 --> 00:20:28,020
He picked up the song real quick, he's like, let's just do it real quick so we can work on some other stuff.

282
00:20:28,020 --> 00:20:33,020
And I was like, what? And then it ended up being like, wow.

283
00:20:33,020 --> 00:20:39,020
He's like, let me hit it again and again and again and again and we finally got to something that we can do.

284
00:20:39,020 --> 00:20:46,020
And even Mike throws live, because he plays the bass, he plays other instruments as well, but there are songs that Mike's have thrown in like bass, you know, on his own.

285
00:20:46,020 --> 00:20:51,020
So he brings everything when it comes to music, he has it all.

286
00:20:51,020 --> 00:20:54,020
Yeah, he's the glue to this, bro, you know what I'm saying?

287
00:20:54,020 --> 00:20:57,020
You gotta have that one person's the glue when it comes to this, that's true.

288
00:20:57,020 --> 00:20:59,020
That's it most definitely, man.

289
00:20:59,020 --> 00:21:00,020
Down to earth.

290
00:21:00,020 --> 00:21:02,020
Did you have any questions you want to talk about?

291
00:21:02,020 --> 00:21:06,020
Oh man, I'm just hearing all this information.

292
00:21:06,020 --> 00:21:11,020
I'm reacting to your music, more music from you guys.

293
00:21:11,020 --> 00:21:15,020
I mean, I've heard music from you and I'm a fan, bro.

294
00:21:15,020 --> 00:21:17,020
I appreciate you, bro.

295
00:21:17,020 --> 00:21:20,020
We also make jingles, so if you guys need a jingle, do it.

296
00:21:20,020 --> 00:21:22,020
It's awesome, it's interesting.

297
00:21:22,020 --> 00:21:26,020
Yeah, you give us a reference if you got you.

298
00:21:26,020 --> 00:21:28,020
Something to do with a monkey.

299
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:31,020
I played their jingles not too long ago.

300
00:21:31,020 --> 00:21:33,020
I don't know, but it's an old one.

301
00:21:33,020 --> 00:21:36,020
I think he's trying to give us a hint, you changed your shit, you know?

302
00:21:36,020 --> 00:21:39,020
Your shit is just messed up.

303
00:21:39,020 --> 00:21:41,020
You used to be a logman?

304
00:21:41,020 --> 00:21:43,020
Like before?

305
00:21:43,020 --> 00:21:50,020
Yeah, I've been in multiple bands actually, I've been with all from like non-bands.

306
00:21:50,020 --> 00:21:52,020
You know, Kali Karanza?

307
00:21:52,020 --> 00:21:53,020
Yes!

308
00:21:53,020 --> 00:21:54,020
I played with her.

309
00:21:54,020 --> 00:21:56,020
Oh shit, you're even familiar.

310
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:58,020
You guys are insane.

311
00:21:58,020 --> 00:22:05,020
I played with music, I played with...

312
00:22:05,020 --> 00:22:06,020
What is that?

313
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:08,020
Bucking Crazy, I played with her.

314
00:22:08,020 --> 00:22:09,020
Oh shit, you know Roy then?

315
00:22:09,020 --> 00:22:10,020
Oh yeah, I know Roy.

316
00:22:10,020 --> 00:22:12,020
Yeah, Roy and I graduated together.

317
00:22:12,020 --> 00:22:14,020
Yeah, you graduated with my sister.

318
00:22:14,020 --> 00:22:16,020
I think Uncle Bucking Crazy too.

319
00:22:16,020 --> 00:22:18,020
I don't know, I don't know.

320
00:22:18,020 --> 00:22:21,020
Everybody knows Bucking Crazy is very easy.

321
00:22:21,020 --> 00:22:26,020
I played with him for about a year, and then I played with Mark Berryman.

322
00:22:26,020 --> 00:22:31,020
I played with Ricky Jankowski and Desert Bloom.

323
00:22:31,020 --> 00:22:33,020
And that is why he is the group.

324
00:22:33,020 --> 00:22:34,020
Yeah, he's the group.

325
00:22:34,020 --> 00:22:37,020
There's just a couple of the names that I played with.

326
00:22:37,020 --> 00:22:40,020
I was music director for C. Codemano's Vazquez for seven years.

327
00:22:40,020 --> 00:22:43,020
I worked in Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas for three years.

328
00:22:43,020 --> 00:22:45,020
America's Got Talent for one.

329
00:22:45,020 --> 00:22:46,020
There you go.

330
00:22:46,020 --> 00:22:48,020
And I was music director for all of those shows.

331
00:22:48,020 --> 00:22:51,020
That's freaking awesome dude, there you go, all around.

332
00:22:51,020 --> 00:22:53,020
Just not back from the bottom.

333
00:22:53,020 --> 00:22:56,020
The glue man.

334
00:22:56,020 --> 00:23:05,020
For water and the young lady here with us today, to be surrounded by two gentlemen that have actually been on the road,

335
00:23:05,020 --> 00:23:10,020
been there, done that, and to actually have stuff under their belt.

336
00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:18,020
Exactly, but the beautiful thing is that them sharing the experience of what to expect when you're out there.

337
00:23:18,020 --> 00:23:23,020
Because there's so many musicians that have gone out there, that have been out there on their own.

338
00:23:23,020 --> 00:23:28,020
They've made it big, they've played in big bands, and they come back and you have these young guys,

339
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:29,020
hey man, I want to do what you do.

340
00:23:29,020 --> 00:23:30,020
It takes a lot of work.

341
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:31,020
Yeah.

342
00:23:31,020 --> 00:23:32,020
Okay, well show me.

343
00:23:32,020 --> 00:23:34,020
Well, if I did it, you need to learn.

344
00:23:34,020 --> 00:23:36,020
No, no, you gotta give back.

345
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:39,020
You gotta say, okay man, I'm gonna show you the steps.

346
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:43,020
But don't forget who shows you the steps.

347
00:23:43,020 --> 00:23:46,020
You know, give gratitude back.

348
00:23:46,020 --> 00:23:47,020
You know what I mean?

349
00:23:47,020 --> 00:23:54,020
And I think a lot of musicians, me and myself musicians myself, we tend to like, alright man,

350
00:23:54,020 --> 00:23:59,020
I'm showing you the steps, please show me just a little gratitude when you make it big.

351
00:23:59,020 --> 00:24:03,020
Or if for some reason you get hurt somewhere, hey man, I want to say thank you.

352
00:24:03,020 --> 00:24:04,020
You know, just something.

353
00:24:04,020 --> 00:24:06,020
It doesn't have to be like a big gesture.

354
00:24:06,020 --> 00:24:08,020
Yeah, you know, but just, exactly.

355
00:24:08,020 --> 00:24:10,020
Don't forget about the little guy.

356
00:24:10,020 --> 00:24:12,020
Oh, just come back to your roots is what I say.

357
00:24:12,020 --> 00:24:13,020
Exactly, yeah.

358
00:24:13,020 --> 00:24:14,020
Stay close to your roots.

359
00:24:14,020 --> 00:24:15,020
Exactly.

360
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:18,020
No matter how much your roots don't, how can I say, it's being blood.

361
00:24:18,020 --> 00:24:23,020
I'm just saying, my opinion, no matter how much your roots don't like what you're serving,

362
00:24:23,020 --> 00:24:28,020
but in time, it becomes something that everybody wants and they end up liking it too.

363
00:24:28,020 --> 00:24:29,020
Exactly.

364
00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:30,020
It's okay.

365
00:24:30,020 --> 00:24:31,020
It's alright.

366
00:24:31,020 --> 00:24:32,020
So come back to your roots, change it.

367
00:24:32,020 --> 00:24:33,020
Yeah.

368
00:24:33,020 --> 00:24:34,020
Change that pattern.

369
00:24:34,020 --> 00:24:35,020
Where's Black?

370
00:24:35,020 --> 00:24:36,020
I don't know, I'm just saying.

371
00:24:36,020 --> 00:24:37,020
Red 2020.

372
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:38,020
Red 2020.

373
00:24:38,020 --> 00:24:39,020
No gas prices.

374
00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:40,020
No gas prices.

375
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:41,020
Buy the bag and hide.

376
00:24:41,020 --> 00:24:42,020
No, buy.

377
00:24:42,020 --> 00:24:51,020
It's crazy, you said that actually, because that makes a lot of sense to me, because

378
00:24:51,020 --> 00:24:55,020
when I first was here before I left and did all that stuff, I had already given up on

379
00:24:55,020 --> 00:24:57,020
music and started becoming a firefighter.

380
00:24:57,020 --> 00:24:58,020
Right.

381
00:24:58,020 --> 00:25:01,020
I was going through that whole process of doing a firefighter, because there was no gigs

382
00:25:01,020 --> 00:25:02,020
for me.

383
00:25:02,020 --> 00:25:05,460
Nobody liked the way I played, because I would play too much and I would add too much and

384
00:25:05,460 --> 00:25:09,220
turn everything into a solo, turn everything into like, oh, why is he playing the guitar

385
00:25:09,220 --> 00:25:10,220
party as the bass player?

386
00:25:10,220 --> 00:25:19,020
You know, like, solo, like, nobody wanted to work with me, nobody wanted to work with

387
00:25:19,020 --> 00:25:20,620
me, hire me or any of that stuff.

388
00:25:20,620 --> 00:25:25,380
And then I get called to go audition for the circus and it's just like, oh yeah, we want

389
00:25:25,380 --> 00:25:27,420
you to play that here and we want more of that.

390
00:25:27,420 --> 00:25:33,020
And yeah, let's go, and New York is like, everybody's crazy, LA everybody is crazy.

391
00:25:33,020 --> 00:25:39,020
And then Las Vegas, it's like a huge variety of musicians out there.

392
00:25:39,020 --> 00:25:43,420
It's like super fucking amazing musicians that you'd be hanging out with at the bar and you

393
00:25:43,420 --> 00:25:47,460
don't know this guy, he plays drums for Marcus Miller, this guy took the Johnny Johnson show

394
00:25:47,460 --> 00:25:49,940
over here and it's just like, what?

395
00:25:49,940 --> 00:25:54,420
And then it's like musicians that are beyond subpoena.

396
00:25:54,420 --> 00:25:58,460
And it's like, it's a huge gap in Vegas.

397
00:25:58,460 --> 00:26:04,700
But about, you know, what you said about the roots is I asked my dad to show me how to

398
00:26:04,700 --> 00:26:07,180
play guitar and he was like, no, you gotta learn.

399
00:26:07,180 --> 00:26:09,180
You gotta learn how I learned.

400
00:26:09,180 --> 00:26:13,100
So I was like, yeah, that's true.

401
00:26:13,100 --> 00:26:14,100
That happens.

402
00:26:14,100 --> 00:26:18,140
Yeah, I was forced to learn how to play the accordion but it didn't happen.

403
00:26:18,140 --> 00:26:19,140
Yeah.

404
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:20,140
I'm sorry.

405
00:26:20,140 --> 00:26:21,140
I can't.

406
00:26:21,140 --> 00:26:22,140
I didn't want to be a dad player.

407
00:26:22,140 --> 00:26:24,700
I learned how to play the mananita.

408
00:26:24,700 --> 00:26:25,700
That's all I know.

409
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:26,700
That's all I know.

410
00:26:26,700 --> 00:26:27,700
That's all I know.

411
00:26:27,700 --> 00:26:30,700
I can't speak my fucking language.

412
00:26:30,700 --> 00:26:31,700
I tried.

413
00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:32,700
I tried.

414
00:26:32,700 --> 00:26:33,700
I tried.

415
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:41,980
I started seeing MTV and I started seeing L'Accu, Jay started seeing Dupont, all this stuff.

416
00:26:41,980 --> 00:26:42,980
My heart is R&B.

417
00:26:42,980 --> 00:26:48,260
But when I started seeing Brighton McKnight, when I started seeing, you know, Michael Jackson,

418
00:26:48,260 --> 00:26:51,540
Pop, all this stuff, like all that stuff, I just fell in love with music.

419
00:26:51,540 --> 00:26:54,180
And it was just like I was setting in when I was getting here, like what I'm trying

420
00:26:54,180 --> 00:26:57,620
to go for is more of the R&B melodic style.

421
00:26:57,620 --> 00:26:58,620
You feel me?

422
00:26:58,620 --> 00:27:01,540
I like rap, but I like that that's gonna catch your attention.

423
00:27:01,540 --> 00:27:03,340
That's why you're catching my attention.

424
00:27:03,340 --> 00:27:04,340
Yeah, yeah.

425
00:27:04,340 --> 00:27:07,460
So like you gotta have that hook that's gonna be like catchy.

426
00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:09,460
They're gonna be like, I want to hear that.

427
00:27:09,460 --> 00:27:11,340
I'll throw a name in.

428
00:27:11,340 --> 00:27:16,580
I'm not sure what his status is here in the R&B now, but a young kid, I think he's from

429
00:27:16,580 --> 00:27:20,180
McCallum by the name of Courtside Jay.

430
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,180
Oh yeah.

431
00:27:21,180 --> 00:27:25,580
And the kid, when I first met him, he came to the podcast and he says, yeah, man, I

432
00:27:25,580 --> 00:27:26,580
got my music.

433
00:27:26,580 --> 00:27:27,580
It's doing well.

434
00:27:27,580 --> 00:27:28,580
Yeah.

435
00:27:28,580 --> 00:27:29,580
I go, do well here.

436
00:27:29,580 --> 00:27:31,580
He goes, no, it's really big in Italy.

437
00:27:31,580 --> 00:27:32,580
It's really big.

438
00:27:32,580 --> 00:27:34,580
And he was showing me the numbers.

439
00:27:34,580 --> 00:27:37,700
I'm like, shit, dude, that's crazy.

440
00:27:37,700 --> 00:27:40,260
And then through the years, we brought him back to the podcast when we were in the other

441
00:27:40,260 --> 00:27:44,060
studio and I saw like total different change.

442
00:27:44,060 --> 00:27:48,060
I'm like, wow, this kid coming out of left field with this music.

443
00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:52,140
And then now I see him now even more when he's releasing more stuff like, Jesus, this

444
00:27:52,140 --> 00:27:53,140
kid has it.

445
00:27:53,140 --> 00:27:58,540
Why hasn't anybody like a track here, like a track that you put out could be a rock here

446
00:27:58,540 --> 00:27:59,540
in the valley overseas.

447
00:27:59,540 --> 00:28:00,540
It could be a gem.

448
00:28:00,540 --> 00:28:01,540
Yes.

449
00:28:01,540 --> 00:28:02,540
You know, it's true.

450
00:28:02,540 --> 00:28:03,540
Definitely.

451
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:07,580
I mean, I don't want to sound boy bandaged, but look at the backstreet boys.

452
00:28:07,580 --> 00:28:08,580
Yeah.

453
00:28:08,580 --> 00:28:10,980
Nobody wanted them here in the U.S. Nobody was hearing it.

454
00:28:10,980 --> 00:28:12,980
They went for Germany out there.

455
00:28:12,980 --> 00:28:13,980
England.

456
00:28:13,980 --> 00:28:14,980
England.

457
00:28:14,980 --> 00:28:15,980
And became a blue up dude.

458
00:28:15,980 --> 00:28:16,980
Yeah.

459
00:28:16,980 --> 00:28:17,980
Over here.

460
00:28:17,980 --> 00:28:18,980
I like it.

461
00:28:18,980 --> 00:28:19,980
Pick up the chat.

462
00:28:19,980 --> 00:28:20,980
Yeah.

463
00:28:20,980 --> 00:28:21,980
Pick up the chat.

464
00:28:21,980 --> 00:28:22,980
Give it a try.

465
00:28:22,980 --> 00:28:26,140
So being on the road yourself, seeing all these musicians, I mean, how was your portrayal

466
00:28:26,140 --> 00:28:27,140
on that?

467
00:28:27,140 --> 00:28:29,180
I mean, as far as playing with all the different bands you were, I mean.

468
00:28:29,180 --> 00:28:31,380
It was an experience.

469
00:28:31,380 --> 00:28:35,620
My thing was I always loved to go to the engineers and pick their brains because I want to know

470
00:28:35,620 --> 00:28:37,620
why do I sound so good.

471
00:28:37,620 --> 00:28:40,820
And mostly, you know, you want to know why they're doing their job.

472
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:41,820
Right.

473
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:45,020
You know, and me being a master engineer and knowing the job itself, it's always good

474
00:28:45,020 --> 00:28:46,700
to see what the live guys doing.

475
00:28:46,700 --> 00:28:47,700
Right.

476
00:28:47,700 --> 00:28:50,900
I try my best to like always say hi to those guys and always be the best because I know

477
00:28:50,900 --> 00:28:53,300
those guys can make your show or can break your show.

478
00:28:53,300 --> 00:28:54,300
Exactly.

479
00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:56,980
So, you know, my thing was always they go take care of the engineers, how they're doing.

480
00:28:56,980 --> 00:28:58,780
And that's what my thing was on the gig.

481
00:28:58,780 --> 00:28:59,780
People to know them.

482
00:28:59,780 --> 00:29:03,780
And then I would scuffle with the musicians and see who's the dick and who's not.

483
00:29:03,780 --> 00:29:05,780
Because that's how it is.

484
00:29:05,780 --> 00:29:09,860
You know, sometimes you'll be there and one hasn't added to you.

485
00:29:09,860 --> 00:29:10,860
You don't know.

486
00:29:10,860 --> 00:29:11,860
And you're like, oh, shit, you came up from the wrong.

487
00:29:11,860 --> 00:29:12,860
You said you're wrong.

488
00:29:12,860 --> 00:29:23,060
There you go, okay, Joe Upi ain't it?

489
00:29:23,060 --> 00:29:24,180
Yes.

490
00:29:24,180 --> 00:29:33,660
The pressure case in the colonies dreams ones stores.

491
00:29:33,660 --> 00:29:35,660
I remember the other one with four strings.

492
00:29:35,660 --> 00:29:39,660
Remember that, bro, so you can have a good time.

493
00:29:39,660 --> 00:29:41,660
Yeah, I've heard.

494
00:29:41,660 --> 00:29:43,660
My cousin and I were in a band together.

495
00:29:43,660 --> 00:29:47,660
We always picked up one of my friends, Steve,

496
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:50,660
and a great bass player, a great jazz blues player.

497
00:29:50,660 --> 00:29:52,660
And when we played the music, he was like,

498
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:55,660
yeah, now you think you're all badass because you're a bass player.

499
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:57,660
So he went out of left field and he goes,

500
00:29:57,660 --> 00:29:59,660
all right, fucker, you think I'm not a good player?

501
00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:00,660
All right.

502
00:30:00,660 --> 00:30:03,660
A week later, he comes back with a fretless bass.

503
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:06,660
And we're looking at him like, what the fuck is that?

504
00:30:06,660 --> 00:30:09,660
It's a fretless bass, bitch.

505
00:30:09,660 --> 00:30:10,660
Why don't you try playing it?

506
00:30:10,660 --> 00:30:12,660
I'm all like, hey, man, this is hard.

507
00:30:12,660 --> 00:30:14,660
You're going to...

508
00:30:14,660 --> 00:30:15,660
That's right.

509
00:30:15,660 --> 00:30:17,660
Recognize motherfuckers.

510
00:30:17,660 --> 00:30:20,660
So I'm like, wow, okay, I'm there fucking with you.

511
00:30:20,660 --> 00:30:22,660
I'll shut up now.

512
00:30:22,660 --> 00:30:27,660
But yeah, dude, I mean, that's great to have all you guys here, man.

513
00:30:27,660 --> 00:30:32,660
The musician to see that the RGV music scene is still alive and running.

514
00:30:32,660 --> 00:30:35,660
And it's been pumping since I was a kid, man.

515
00:30:35,660 --> 00:30:39,660
So I mean, it's great to know that the many genres are coming out of the RGV.

516
00:30:39,660 --> 00:30:40,660
Yeah, I guess.

517
00:30:40,660 --> 00:30:41,660
Different genres.

518
00:30:41,660 --> 00:30:44,660
So I know the week we were supposed to have you here.

519
00:30:44,660 --> 00:30:46,660
And I was like, bro, I can't do it this week.

520
00:30:46,660 --> 00:30:47,660
Sorry.

521
00:30:47,660 --> 00:30:48,660
I'm gonna die.

522
00:30:48,660 --> 00:30:49,660
I was like, the right little fever.

523
00:30:49,660 --> 00:30:51,660
I didn't want to say anything, but I'm right a little fever.

524
00:30:51,660 --> 00:30:53,660
And then last week, Choo got sick.

525
00:30:53,660 --> 00:30:56,660
So he was still sick this week also.

526
00:30:56,660 --> 00:30:58,660
So we thought, you know what, now you're gonna transit.

527
00:30:58,660 --> 00:31:00,660
Man, I really wanted to meet you this time.

528
00:31:00,660 --> 00:31:03,660
Trust me, I'll meet you dodge a bullet.

529
00:31:03,660 --> 00:31:04,660
Ah!

530
00:31:04,660 --> 00:31:06,660
He's alive.

531
00:31:06,660 --> 00:31:07,660
He's alive.

532
00:31:07,660 --> 00:31:08,660
Seven foot of nothing.

533
00:31:08,660 --> 00:31:11,660
But uh, with one leg missing.

534
00:31:11,660 --> 00:31:13,660
And one eye.

535
00:31:13,660 --> 00:31:14,660
Ah!

536
00:31:14,660 --> 00:31:15,660
Man.

537
00:31:15,660 --> 00:31:17,660
You should be in your senior in the circus.

538
00:31:17,660 --> 00:31:18,660
Ah!

539
00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:20,660
You know what?

540
00:31:20,660 --> 00:31:22,660
This is gonna be like two fights.

541
00:31:22,660 --> 00:31:24,660
You should understand.

542
00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:26,660
I did.

543
00:31:26,660 --> 00:31:29,660
I said, what's up, Sean Loewy to the podcast.

544
00:31:29,660 --> 00:31:31,660
Watch what's going on, Sean.

545
00:31:31,660 --> 00:31:32,660
Oh, Sean!

546
00:31:32,660 --> 00:31:33,660
This weekend, baby!

547
00:31:33,660 --> 00:31:35,660
This weekend is coming.

548
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:36,660
I smell it.

549
00:31:36,660 --> 00:31:37,660
I saw your post.

550
00:31:37,660 --> 00:31:38,660
I smell it coming.

551
00:31:38,660 --> 00:31:42,660
We're gonna pay the comedores?

552
00:31:42,660 --> 00:31:44,660
Latter-riching comedores?

553
00:31:44,660 --> 00:31:46,660
Latter-riching comedores?

554
00:31:46,660 --> 00:31:47,660
Pigeons.

555
00:31:47,660 --> 00:31:49,660
Oh my God.

556
00:31:49,660 --> 00:31:51,660
But anyways, that's football.

557
00:31:51,660 --> 00:31:52,660
We're not going there.

558
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:55,660
Jesus Christ, can't even go into the fact that other things are happening.

559
00:31:55,660 --> 00:31:57,660
But uh, guys, stay tuned for me.

560
00:31:57,660 --> 00:31:59,660
We're gonna take some commercial break real quick.

561
00:31:59,660 --> 00:32:01,660
I'm not selling my sponsor because you gotta pay bills.

562
00:32:01,660 --> 00:32:02,660
Oh yeah.

563
00:32:02,660 --> 00:32:06,660
But enjoy the one of our sponsors, uh, delicacies that he gave us this week.

564
00:32:06,660 --> 00:32:09,660
One of our great sponsors, uh, and I'll get to that if you want to go and jump into that.

565
00:32:09,660 --> 00:32:10,660
You'll be all kind of right.

566
00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:12,660
Now, here we go.

567
00:32:12,660 --> 00:32:17,660
Ladies and gentlemen, first thing I want to say is big thank you to Triple J Plumbing.

568
00:32:17,660 --> 00:32:25,660
Guys, if you're looking for a licensed plumber, give Jared, want to call it 956-854-9622 or

569
00:32:25,660 --> 00:32:28,660
Jared956-478-5366.

570
00:32:28,660 --> 00:32:32,660
Triple J Plumbing does residential plumbing, guys.

571
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:33,660
Licensed plumbers.

572
00:32:33,660 --> 00:32:38,660
Uh, since the freeze came along, I'm pretty sure some people out there residential are

573
00:32:38,660 --> 00:32:40,660
looking for plumbers because there's a lot of pipes out there.

574
00:32:40,660 --> 00:32:41,660
That's the same commercial you made.

575
00:32:41,660 --> 00:32:43,660
They're looking like magic lights.

576
00:32:43,660 --> 00:32:44,660
Hey, guys.

577
00:32:44,660 --> 00:32:46,660
Do not believe what you see in the commercial, guys.

578
00:32:46,660 --> 00:32:48,660
I made that commercial for them.

579
00:32:48,660 --> 00:32:50,660
Do not believe what you saw in the commercial.

580
00:32:50,660 --> 00:32:52,660
Even though we got the commercial, it was a male escort.

581
00:32:52,660 --> 00:32:53,660
I know.

582
00:32:53,660 --> 00:32:58,660
Even though they did receive a phone call saying, guys, we need a clean room pipe.

583
00:32:58,660 --> 00:33:02,660
We need you guys to come up, but please keep your shirts and your pants on.

584
00:33:02,660 --> 00:33:04,660
We just need to get a hose fixed.

585
00:33:04,660 --> 00:33:10,660
But, uh, by the way, that, that, that, that in particular video is still hitting big on

586
00:33:10,660 --> 00:33:11,660
TikTok.

587
00:33:11,660 --> 00:33:16,660
But, uh, give them a call, guys, like I said, uh, let them know Choo, New Century, and don't

588
00:33:16,660 --> 00:33:19,660
forget, your crap is there bread and butter.

589
00:33:19,660 --> 00:33:21,660
So, uh, don't forget that.

590
00:33:21,660 --> 00:33:23,660
It makes a lot of sense, guys.

591
00:33:23,660 --> 00:33:27,660
Also, big shout out to another Constructions, uh, guys.

592
00:33:27,660 --> 00:33:33,660
We're looking for a contractor for residential commercial remodel, uh, renovate.

593
00:33:33,660 --> 00:33:36,660
These guys are great top notch, man.

594
00:33:36,660 --> 00:33:40,660
Great craftsmanship, uh, Guy is one of the greatest guys that we've ever met, man.

595
00:33:40,660 --> 00:33:41,660
Uh, he was on the podcast.

596
00:33:41,660 --> 00:33:46,660
He had a, one of our podcasts, he said some key things about new homeowners and stuff

597
00:33:46,660 --> 00:33:47,660
like that.

598
00:33:47,660 --> 00:33:48,660
They're gladly help you out.

599
00:33:48,660 --> 00:33:54,660
Give them a call 956-363-7195, uh, you know, let them know Choo, New Century, guys.

600
00:33:54,660 --> 00:33:57,660
And we're going to come back to the picture here because these guys look like they might

601
00:33:57,660 --> 00:34:00,660
be asking for what our next sponsor is here.

602
00:34:00,660 --> 00:34:04,660
And you can go ahead and grab a, grab the balls in front of you guys.

603
00:34:04,660 --> 00:34:11,660
And you'll see that.

604
00:34:11,660 --> 00:34:14,660
This is courtesy of Milo's Kettle Corn, the best Kettle Corn man.

605
00:34:14,660 --> 00:34:16,660
He's looking us up today with Pickardelli.

606
00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:17,660
I got a, okay.

607
00:34:17,660 --> 00:34:18,660
Pickardelli.

608
00:34:18,660 --> 00:34:19,660
He's actually pretty good believer.

609
00:34:19,660 --> 00:34:20,660
He's the greatest popcorn.

610
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:21,660
Hey, I got a question for you.

611
00:34:21,660 --> 00:34:22,660
What's up?

612
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:24,660
So I ran into Milo during Fresco.

613
00:34:24,660 --> 00:34:25,660
Uh-huh.

614
00:34:25,660 --> 00:34:26,660
And he said, hey, baby.

615
00:34:26,660 --> 00:34:27,660
It's all ice.

616
00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:28,660
Did you get back?

617
00:34:28,660 --> 00:34:29,660
Ice.

618
00:34:29,660 --> 00:34:31,660
We get back to, we get back to Lou.

619
00:34:31,660 --> 00:34:33,660
And I'm like, no, I didn't see any back.

620
00:34:33,660 --> 00:34:34,660
Don't lie to him, Milo.

621
00:34:34,660 --> 00:34:35,660
Don't lie to him, buddy.

622
00:34:35,660 --> 00:34:36,660
So what is it, man?

623
00:34:36,660 --> 00:34:38,660
What it should be.

624
00:34:38,660 --> 00:34:45,660
Milo's Kettle Corn, extra crunchy, extra fun.

625
00:34:45,660 --> 00:34:48,660
He does fundraisers, local events.

626
00:34:48,660 --> 00:34:52,660
Also, shoot, he does a lot of stuff, man.

627
00:34:52,660 --> 00:34:53,660
Great guy, man.

628
00:34:53,660 --> 00:34:54,660
He's always in Fresco.

629
00:34:54,660 --> 00:34:55,660
He has always in Fresco.

630
00:34:55,660 --> 00:35:00,660
By the way, February, which is coming up, will be the last Fresco here in Westsacow, Texas.

631
00:35:00,660 --> 00:35:01,660
I'm not sure.

632
00:35:01,660 --> 00:35:02,660
Yeah, next month.

633
00:35:02,660 --> 00:35:03,660
Last month.

634
00:35:03,660 --> 00:35:04,660
Why?

635
00:35:04,660 --> 00:35:05,660
That's the way it's up, because onion fests come after that.

636
00:35:05,660 --> 00:35:06,660
Oh, yeah, man.

637
00:35:06,660 --> 00:35:07,660
They're all that great stuff.

638
00:35:07,660 --> 00:35:10,660
So if you get a chance, look for Model Gold.

639
00:35:10,660 --> 00:35:12,660
There's an SR, the QR code right there.

640
00:35:12,660 --> 00:35:14,660
Scan that bad boy, take you straight to him.

641
00:35:14,660 --> 00:35:15,660
Find out where you're going to be next.

642
00:35:15,660 --> 00:35:19,660
You cannot miss out on the great popcorn, especially for the Amaranada popcorn that he makes.

643
00:35:19,660 --> 00:35:20,660
Oh, my God.

644
00:35:20,660 --> 00:35:21,660
No, the Kettle Corn, what is it?

645
00:35:21,660 --> 00:35:22,660
Corn in a cup?

646
00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:23,660
Roasted corn.

647
00:35:23,660 --> 00:35:25,660
The roasted corn is another great one, too.

648
00:35:25,660 --> 00:35:26,660
We need to taste that flavor.

649
00:35:26,660 --> 00:35:32,660
For our guests next week, we'll have the cheddar cheese popcorn that he gave us also.

650
00:35:32,660 --> 00:35:36,660
We'll be sharing that with Armando Reyes.

651
00:35:36,660 --> 00:35:40,660
El Cacahuate will be here next week with a couple of wrestlers in stock soon.

652
00:35:40,660 --> 00:35:41,660
Oh, shit.

653
00:35:41,660 --> 00:35:42,660
It'll be interesting.

654
00:35:42,660 --> 00:35:43,660
So, where's your sunglasses?

655
00:35:43,660 --> 00:35:44,660
Yeah, I think it's in the right place.

656
00:35:44,660 --> 00:35:45,660
Like, just where's sunglasses?

657
00:35:45,660 --> 00:35:49,660
Because Armando's head's very bright and I don't want anybody to get blind on the podcast.

658
00:35:49,660 --> 00:35:51,660

Yeah, I'm gonna open it.

671
00:36:17,660 --> 00:36:18,660
No, I'm not gonna open it.

672
00:36:18,660 --> 00:36:19,660
It's so hard to open it.

673
00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:20,660
It's cold.

674
00:36:20,660 --> 00:36:21,660
I'm going in with all the good stuff.

675
00:36:21,660 --> 00:36:22,660
Come on, man.

676
00:36:22,660 --> 00:36:23,660
It's a good shit.

677
00:36:23,660 --> 00:36:25,660
Why did you send me this?

678
00:36:25,660 --> 00:36:27,660
It's kind of cold outside.

679
00:36:27,660 --> 00:36:29,660
It's a little blanky.

680
00:36:29,660 --> 00:36:31,660
I'll get my blankets over there.

681
00:36:31,660 --> 00:36:33,660
I'll be in my cell, man.

682
00:36:33,660 --> 00:36:35,660
You're high.

683
00:36:35,660 --> 00:36:38,660
But, guys, thank you so much for all our sponsors keeping the lights off for us.

684
00:36:38,660 --> 00:36:41,660
Bringing in great guests to the podcast and so on and so forth, man.

685
00:36:41,660 --> 00:36:42,660
We love you guys.

686
00:36:42,660 --> 00:36:44,660
Thank you so much for hanging in there with us.

687
00:36:44,660 --> 00:36:49,660
So, for the second half of the probably when we went over with the album and everything

688
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:53,660
we'll get to the very end, find out where the actual album release is gonna be and when

689
00:36:53,660 --> 00:36:56,660
little venues and tour dates you're gonna be having coming up.

690
00:36:56,660 --> 00:37:00,660
And especially also for the young lady here when her next stuff is coming up also.

691
00:37:00,660 --> 00:37:01,660
So we'll get that in a minute.

692
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:06,660
But topics of the day, well, the one that's really running through the podcast right now,

693
00:37:06,660 --> 00:37:08,660
we really want to go in there.

694
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:12,660
The gentleman in the great jacket's been hugging the pillow all this time.

695
00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:15,660
Oh, we're talking about that.

696
00:37:15,660 --> 00:37:20,660
He's been iffy iffy.

697
00:37:20,660 --> 00:37:25,660
He just found out that we do have a little extra guest.

698
00:37:25,660 --> 00:37:27,660
Well, she's been a studio guest since we moved in here.

699
00:37:27,660 --> 00:37:30,660
You know, she likes to play around with the lights, mess around.

700
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:33,660
You know what we say it was a podcast that God's are messing with our audio.

701
00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:37,660
No, it was the little girl that's here that usually runs around and pushes the buttons

702
00:37:37,660 --> 00:37:38,660
on us here.

703
00:37:38,660 --> 00:37:44,660
So, but, yeah, the, we don't recommend anybody to come and if I say you're here, you need

704
00:37:44,660 --> 00:37:48,660
to ask permission from the owners first.

705
00:37:48,660 --> 00:37:49,660
We learned the hard way.

706
00:37:49,660 --> 00:37:53,660
Yeah, we learned the hard way.

707
00:37:53,660 --> 00:37:54,660
We learned the hard way.

708
00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:57,660
But almost.

709
00:37:57,660 --> 00:37:58,660
Almost.

710
00:37:58,660 --> 00:38:05,660
But an order for you to do anything like that if you need to call the main office and ask

711
00:38:05,660 --> 00:38:08,660
and there's got to be paperwork filled and all that good stuff.

712
00:38:08,660 --> 00:38:13,660
But yes, there is a story within the building here.

713
00:38:13,660 --> 00:38:14,660
It's a very old building.

714
00:38:14,660 --> 00:38:17,660
It's been around since I believe 1902, 1903.

715
00:38:17,660 --> 00:38:19,660
Don't, don't, don't quote my words.

716
00:38:19,660 --> 00:38:22,660
I'm not sure exactly what year it's been a, it was started out.

717
00:38:22,660 --> 00:38:23,660
It's a hotel.

718
00:38:23,660 --> 00:38:24,660
Yeah.

719
00:38:24,660 --> 00:38:29,660
It's a whole start off as a hotel and it was one of the first hotels in the inner RGV,

720
00:38:29,660 --> 00:38:31,660
which we belong exactly for Westsac Co.

721
00:38:31,660 --> 00:38:34,660
Before even Donna wasn't even established.

722
00:38:34,660 --> 00:38:42,660
So this was a key point for a lot of great, not very important people that would stop

723
00:38:42,660 --> 00:38:43,660
here.

724
00:38:43,660 --> 00:38:49,660
Like similar to the San Juan, which we actually did an investigation there also, which was

725
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:52,660
eh, but we had a lot of problems.

726
00:38:52,660 --> 00:38:57,660
I think it was the scariest, the people that we feared is the people that were alive.

727
00:38:57,660 --> 00:38:58,660
Yeah.

728
00:38:58,660 --> 00:39:05,660
The homeless guy came out and saw him do it and he was like, how can you do all this?

729
00:39:05,660 --> 00:39:06,660
Ah damn!

730
00:39:06,660 --> 00:39:08,660
Damn, bro, it's all right.

731
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:11,660
How much electricity did my wife, no.

732
00:39:11,660 --> 00:39:12,660
She's cold.

733
00:39:12,660 --> 00:39:14,660
She could get this for like a year stop, right?

734
00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:16,660
It was a carriage stop because that's all the way through, right?

735
00:39:16,660 --> 00:39:17,660
It's all the way through.

736
00:39:17,660 --> 00:39:18,660
It was just two levels, man.

737
00:39:18,660 --> 00:39:19,660
Two or three.

738
00:39:19,660 --> 00:39:20,660
San Juan?

739
00:39:20,660 --> 00:39:21,660
San Juan, two levels, right?

740
00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:22,660
Two.

741
00:39:22,660 --> 00:39:23,660
It was crazy, man.

742
00:39:23,660 --> 00:39:28,860
It was a crazy experience up there, but we're talking about ghost experiences and you

743
00:39:28,860 --> 00:39:33,660
say there's a little thing in your studio that's a mirror.

744
00:39:33,660 --> 00:39:34,660
It's a big mirror.

745
00:39:34,660 --> 00:39:35,660
It's a big mirror.

746
00:39:35,660 --> 00:39:36,660
It's a pretty big mirror.

747
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:40,660
It was a, it was a mirror on a dresser.

748
00:39:40,660 --> 00:39:45,660
The dresser we partnered ways with because it was just real old.

749
00:39:45,660 --> 00:39:51,660
Then I thought it would be a great idea to keep the mirror and put it inside the boat.

750
00:39:51,660 --> 00:39:58,660
I've seen so many artists that have come in to record and they're singing directly into

751
00:39:58,660 --> 00:39:59,660
the mirror.

752
00:39:59,660 --> 00:40:02,660
They're looking into the mirror and they're just singing and all the stuff.

753
00:40:02,660 --> 00:40:07,660
Then as of recent, a lot of the artists that have been going to the studio, they're like,

754
00:40:07,660 --> 00:40:10,660
turn off the lights when I'm in here and be singing and stuff.

755
00:40:10,660 --> 00:40:12,660
So I'm just like, okay, I guess.

756
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:15,660
I mean, there's lights for a reason, but darling.

757
00:40:15,660 --> 00:40:20,260
But when we'll be there alone, we'll see people walking in front of the mirror or somebody

758
00:40:20,260 --> 00:40:24,100
looking out from the mirror.

759
00:40:24,100 --> 00:40:28,940
We have a big window in our mastering room and as we're working and looking out into

760
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:33,660
the other booths, we'll see somebody walk past and then they don't continue walking

761
00:40:33,660 --> 00:40:34,660
past.

762
00:40:34,660 --> 00:40:36,660
It's like, oh, shh.

763
00:40:36,660 --> 00:40:39,660
This happened to a bunch of the guys that worked there.

764
00:40:39,660 --> 00:40:40,660
It's happened to myself a lot.

765
00:40:40,660 --> 00:40:41,660
It happened to us together.

766
00:40:41,660 --> 00:40:42,660
We thought it was your dad.

767
00:40:42,660 --> 00:40:45,660
I was like, this is a tall, last person walking.

768
00:40:45,660 --> 00:40:46,660
This is a tall man.

769
00:40:46,660 --> 00:40:47,660
My dad is.

770
00:40:47,660 --> 00:40:48,660
This is a tall man.

771
00:40:48,660 --> 00:40:50,660
So I was like, dude, this is a really tall ghost.

772
00:40:50,660 --> 00:40:51,660
I saw the big shadow.

773
00:40:51,660 --> 00:40:56,660
Me and me, I get up at the studio, dad, walk out and I'm literally looking for this person.

774
00:40:56,660 --> 00:40:57,660
I literally saw the shadow.

775
00:40:57,660 --> 00:40:59,660
I was like, dude, this shadow was huge.

776
00:40:59,660 --> 00:41:01,660
Then he was like, dude, I think I saw it as well.

777
00:41:01,660 --> 00:41:03,660
I was like, it literally just went back, came back.

778
00:41:03,660 --> 00:41:05,660
I have a crazy ghost experience.

779
00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:06,660
I really did.

780
00:41:06,660 --> 00:41:10,660
So it was this, I was little, bro.

781
00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:15,660
I was like, I got to say like seven years old, you know, maybe younger, you feel me?

782
00:41:15,660 --> 00:41:18,660
This is over there in my hometown, the Rio Grande City, where I live.

783
00:41:18,660 --> 00:41:22,660
There's a cemetery right behind my house, you feel me?

784
00:41:22,660 --> 00:41:27,660
So I would always go to my friend's house, you know, like right across the street.

785
00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:29,660
We met in school and stuff like that.

786
00:41:29,660 --> 00:41:31,660
And I didn't know he was my neighbor.

787
00:41:31,660 --> 00:41:37,660
And every day I would go over to his house, you know, we'll play games, you know, we'll play outside and stuff like that.

788
00:41:37,660 --> 00:41:43,660
And so this one time, like we would always do this thing where we would play like ghost hunters, you know, like do that crazy shit.

789
00:41:43,660 --> 00:41:46,660
But we would do it at night, you know, and the craziest thing, bro.

790
00:41:46,660 --> 00:41:49,660
So I was walking over to his house, right?

791
00:41:49,660 --> 00:41:56,660
And at the, across the street, there's this, it cuts into a Y close to where my house is, right?

792
00:41:56,660 --> 00:42:02,660
So there's this like old school tire that's like right over there on the other side.

793
00:42:02,660 --> 00:42:07,660
And as I was walking, I made no like, you know, think about it.

794
00:42:07,660 --> 00:42:15,660
Like I saw somebody standing in the middle and I was like, oh, it's probably like, you know, one of their, you know, kids or something just playing around, whatever.

795
00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:20,660
So as I was walking, I was walking across the street to go knock on my friend's door.

796
00:42:20,660 --> 00:42:23,660
And I just saw a girl just standing there and I was like, okay, this is weird.

797
00:42:23,660 --> 00:42:29,660
So I knock on his door and he opens the door and I'm like, hey, bro, am I tripping?

798
00:42:29,660 --> 00:42:32,660
I don't know. Is this just me or you know, whatever.

799
00:42:32,660 --> 00:42:34,660
And he was like, he was like, what is it bro?

800
00:42:34,660 --> 00:42:38,660
And I was like, do you see that girl that's standing right over there across the street?

801
00:42:38,660 --> 00:42:41,660
And granted it was like 10 o'clock at night, like, you know, 12 o'clock at night.

802
00:42:41,660 --> 00:42:42,660
Right, right.

803
00:42:42,660 --> 00:42:48,660
And he was like, he did one of those where you like peeped like the other side of the door, you know what I'm saying?

804
00:42:48,660 --> 00:42:53,660
And he was like, what kind of recover were you at?

805
00:42:53,660 --> 00:42:56,660
And he checked and he was like, yeah, I see her too.

806
00:42:56,660 --> 00:42:58,660
So I was like, okay, bet that's crazy. Okay.

807
00:42:58,660 --> 00:43:04,660
And we were trying to say, hey, like, you know, we thought she was lost or something, but she had like her hair like over her face.

808
00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:08,660
And she had like an old school like dress, you know, with like a pink bow, like every she looked old school.

809
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:10,660
Yeah, I'll walk to the wedding.

810
00:43:10,660 --> 00:43:12,660
I'll walk out.

811
00:43:12,660 --> 00:43:15,660
No, this is outside.

812
00:43:15,660 --> 00:43:22,660
So we're getting we're kind of getting close and we're like, hey, like where your parents are like, you know, do you know where she's at or not like no response, no response.

813
00:43:22,660 --> 00:43:28,660
So eventually, like, right before we get to the road, a bus comes bro like real fast.

814
00:43:28,660 --> 00:43:32,660
And the bus just passed, you know, and she was gone.

815
00:43:32,660 --> 00:43:34,660
She was gone.

816
00:43:34,660 --> 00:43:36,660
It was real grand.

817
00:43:36,660 --> 00:43:39,660
Oh, I take you have you gone to the board hotel?

818
00:43:39,660 --> 00:43:41,660
Oh, yeah, I've seen it. Yeah.

819
00:43:41,660 --> 00:43:42,660
Have you spent the night in there?

820
00:43:42,660 --> 00:43:43,660
I haven't spent the night.

821
00:43:43,660 --> 00:43:45,660
That's crazy.

822
00:43:45,660 --> 00:43:46,660
I want to ask a question.

823
00:43:46,660 --> 00:43:47,660
I have a question.

824
00:43:47,660 --> 00:43:51,660
This mirror that you have in your studio, whose idea was to put the mirror in there?

825
00:43:51,660 --> 00:43:53,660
It was my idea.

826
00:43:53,660 --> 00:43:55,660
Really?

827
00:43:55,660 --> 00:43:56,660
It was my idea.

828
00:43:56,660 --> 00:43:57,660
Really?

829
00:43:57,660 --> 00:43:59,660
Like I don't know why.

830
00:43:59,660 --> 00:44:03,660
If you are really Mike, if you are really Mike, I think I know why you're really Mike.

831
00:44:03,660 --> 00:44:06,660
The reason why he had it on, he was into this bad boy here.

832
00:44:06,660 --> 00:44:08,660
I bet you when you put the mirror on, he had this little ring.

833
00:44:08,660 --> 00:44:10,660
You know what I mean?

834
00:44:10,660 --> 00:44:13,660
I'm not a bad boy.

835
00:44:13,660 --> 00:44:15,660
I'm not a bad boy.

836
00:44:15,660 --> 00:44:19,660
By the way, I don't know the rice in this sauce.

837
00:44:19,660 --> 00:44:23,660
If you don't know the song, look it up.

838
00:44:23,660 --> 00:44:26,660
What on the sporad to the bone?

839
00:44:26,660 --> 00:44:28,660
Did you have a hole somewhere?

840
00:44:28,660 --> 00:44:30,660
It puts a lotion on, Lizzie.

841
00:44:30,660 --> 00:44:35,660
It puts a lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again.

842
00:44:35,660 --> 00:44:40,660
The hole wasn't that big.

843
00:44:40,660 --> 00:44:43,660
Give me the hole, bloody!

844
00:44:43,660 --> 00:44:46,660
Oh my God, one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen on my life.

845
00:44:46,660 --> 00:44:50,660
You know what I'm surprised, I'm real grand city and you never gone to that hotel?

846
00:44:50,660 --> 00:44:53,660
I mean I've gone to it, I just never stayed there, you feel me?

847
00:44:53,660 --> 00:45:02,660
I don't know why I'm not going to say there, but we, the ghost group that I'm in, the paranormal group that I'm in,

848
00:45:02,660 --> 00:45:05,660
we rented out the whole hotel.

849
00:45:05,660 --> 00:45:06,660
Oh that's awesome.

850
00:45:06,660 --> 00:45:09,660
And we stayed there dude, and it was crazy.

851
00:45:09,660 --> 00:45:15,660
That's not the only thing that's haunted though, there's also the school in the Fort Ringgold.

852
00:45:15,660 --> 00:45:18,660
Yeah, and also that school in Fort Ringgold is also haunted.

853
00:45:18,660 --> 00:45:19,660
Yeah man.

854
00:45:19,660 --> 00:45:20,660
What school?

855
00:45:20,660 --> 00:45:28,660
It's one of the schools in the, I think it's a Ringgold, middle school, or like the Ringgold school, whatever.

856
00:45:28,660 --> 00:45:34,660
There's a school in there that's really old and they don't let nobody, because there's a fence around it, it used to be a fort,

857
00:45:34,660 --> 00:45:41,660
but there's a fence around it and stuff like that, and the building's out of commission, it's broke down and stuff like that.

858
00:45:41,660 --> 00:45:42,660
That's crazy.

859
00:45:42,660 --> 00:45:46,660
But they don't let anybody just go to that side of the fence.

860
00:45:46,660 --> 00:45:47,660
Right, right, right.

861
00:45:47,660 --> 00:45:48,660
That's crazy.

862
00:45:48,660 --> 00:45:50,660
My brother too, my brother was crazy.

863
00:45:50,660 --> 00:45:51,660
Yeah, absolutely.

864
00:45:51,660 --> 00:45:54,660
So experiences of any ghost, you think you're some sort of brownsville?

865
00:45:54,660 --> 00:45:57,660
Yeah, I was with a veteran, so I was with a bunch of Marines.

866
00:45:57,660 --> 00:45:59,660
We did a thing for a very veteran.

867
00:45:59,660 --> 00:46:00,660
Oh by the way, thank you for your service.

868
00:46:00,660 --> 00:46:01,660
Thank you so much.

869
00:46:01,660 --> 00:46:06,660
They guys were like, hey, let's do this ghost adventure type of thing with a bunch of Marines, and like it's going to be like a little retreat.

870
00:46:06,660 --> 00:46:11,660
It's paid for, so we went and they got, they got, it was a license for that battle area out there.

871
00:46:11,660 --> 00:46:12,660
Right, yeah.

872
00:46:12,660 --> 00:46:17,660
And we went out there at night, and which is usually closed off.

873
00:46:17,660 --> 00:46:18,660
Exactly.

874
00:46:18,660 --> 00:46:22,660
So they bought a ticket for that and we were out there, and I swear we were here in Cannon Fire, bro.

875
00:46:22,660 --> 00:46:26,660
Like I was out there and I'm a Mortarman and I've shot weapons and I'm like, girl, the night that we were out there,

876
00:46:26,660 --> 00:46:29,660
I could definitely sound like there was Cannon Fire in that area.

877
00:46:29,660 --> 00:46:30,660
Right, right, right.

878
00:46:30,660 --> 00:46:32,660
And it's way out there, bro.

879
00:46:32,660 --> 00:46:33,660
It's like deathly hell.

880
00:46:33,660 --> 00:46:34,660
It's crazy.

881
00:46:34,660 --> 00:46:36,660
And I was like, man, it was the Spanish war and nothing is touched.

882
00:46:36,660 --> 00:46:38,660
Like no one's allowed to touch the area.

883
00:46:38,660 --> 00:46:40,660
You can't take rocks with you or anything.

884
00:46:40,660 --> 00:46:42,660
Like they're like, you take a rock with you, just see what's happening.

885
00:46:42,660 --> 00:46:43,660
You got me in Hawaii, man.

886
00:46:43,660 --> 00:46:44,660
I'll take you right now.

887
00:46:44,660 --> 00:46:50,660
I'm like, no, man, when they tell you that, I was like, no, I won't pick up any rocks or anything.

888
00:46:50,660 --> 00:46:52,660
Never tell anyone.

889
00:46:52,660 --> 00:46:57,660
It felt like we were out there.

890
00:46:57,660 --> 00:46:59,660
It felt really sad, bro.

891
00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:00,660
We got enough.

892
00:47:00,660 --> 00:47:01,660
We got enough.

893
00:47:01,660 --> 00:47:02,660
No, I know.

894
00:47:02,660 --> 00:47:11,660
I've heard stories of people that go out there and have a lawyer friend of mine who sometimes does a little ghost investigation,

895
00:47:11,660 --> 00:47:16,660
and he's gone out there on his own, and he says that it's real heavy.

896
00:47:16,660 --> 00:47:18,660
It's like sad as hell.

897
00:47:18,660 --> 00:47:21,660
That sense of sadness.

898
00:47:21,660 --> 00:47:26,660
And he walks through the areas, you know, and I'm like, dude, I would love to go out there and go check that out.

899
00:47:26,660 --> 00:47:28,660
He goes, yeah, we'll get one of them.

900
00:47:28,660 --> 00:47:31,660
We're supposed to go, but something happened and it didn't happen.

901
00:47:31,660 --> 00:47:33,660
So like, no, we're not going out.

902
00:47:33,660 --> 00:47:35,660
Exactly.

903
00:47:35,660 --> 00:47:36,660
Exactly.

904
00:47:36,660 --> 00:47:39,660
They do have to have it for a reason, man.

905
00:47:39,660 --> 00:47:46,660
So I mean, as far as tour dates, water, is there anything big coming up on the way?

906
00:47:46,660 --> 00:47:55,660
Yeah, so I might be going to the Dominican Republic with my boy Mike here,

907
00:47:55,660 --> 00:48:00,660
pretty soon, so we're going to be out there, me and Jesse Jackson unknown.

908
00:48:00,660 --> 00:48:04,660
It's going to be a big experience, you know, this is something different for me.

909
00:48:04,660 --> 00:48:05,660
It's not mine.

910
00:48:05,660 --> 00:48:07,660
No, yeah, we are going to, yeah.

911
00:48:07,660 --> 00:48:08,660
Oh, we're going.

912
00:48:08,660 --> 00:48:09,660
We're going.

913
00:48:09,660 --> 00:48:11,660
I'm already going to be there, so.

914
00:48:11,660 --> 00:48:12,660
Yeah.

915
00:48:12,660 --> 00:48:17,660
Yeah, we're going to hopefully try to take the Dominican Republic by storm and you fill me with our music.

916
00:48:17,660 --> 00:48:18,660
There you go.

917
00:48:18,660 --> 00:48:19,660
There you go.

918
00:48:19,660 --> 00:48:20,660
Different for their culture.

919
00:48:20,660 --> 00:48:21,660
Yeah, there you go, man.

920
00:48:21,660 --> 00:48:26,660
Yeah, I mean, you got to test the waters everywhere, you know, that's the whole point of it.

921
00:48:26,660 --> 00:48:27,660
No pun intended.

922
00:48:27,660 --> 00:48:28,660
No pun intended.

923
00:48:28,660 --> 00:48:29,660
No pun intended.

924
00:48:29,660 --> 00:48:31,660
You got to test the waters everywhere.

925
00:48:31,660 --> 00:48:33,660
No pun intended.

926
00:48:33,660 --> 00:48:38,660
But as far as yourself, is there anything coming up?

927
00:48:38,660 --> 00:48:44,660
Yes, actually, I will be playing a show later next week at Roosevelt 7 in McAllen, Texas on Main Street.

928
00:48:44,660 --> 00:48:45,660
There you go.

929
00:48:45,660 --> 00:48:46,660
Go check her out.

930
00:48:46,660 --> 00:48:48,660
And got hired by a wonderful musician.

931
00:48:48,660 --> 00:48:49,660
His name is Gene Wenees.

932
00:48:49,660 --> 00:48:52,660
There's going to be about seven of us performing.

933
00:48:52,660 --> 00:48:54,660
My set time will be at 10 o'clock.

934
00:48:54,660 --> 00:48:59,660
So if you guys have some free time, come down to McAllen, Texas and feel free to come to Roosevelt.

935
00:48:59,660 --> 00:49:00,660
That's all I'm going to do.

936
00:49:00,660 --> 00:49:02,660
I want to make a couple shout outs.

937
00:49:02,660 --> 00:49:07,660
I got my boy, shout out René, shout out Remy, shout out Janet, shout out Melissa.

938
00:49:07,660 --> 00:49:09,660
All y'all from Rio, y'all are real.

939
00:49:09,660 --> 00:49:12,660
Why don't they watch in the podcast, bro?

940
00:49:12,660 --> 00:49:13,660
Why?

941
00:49:13,660 --> 00:49:14,660
Get on there.

942
00:49:14,660 --> 00:49:15,660
Oh my God.

943
00:49:15,660 --> 00:49:17,660
Go check out Chew and Do.

944
00:49:17,660 --> 00:49:19,660
No, that's cool man.

945
00:49:19,660 --> 00:49:20,660
Come next time.

946
00:49:20,660 --> 00:49:22,660
Shout out Gable too.

947
00:49:22,660 --> 00:49:23,660
Got two.

948
00:49:23,660 --> 00:49:25,660
Shout out Risky Dog.

949
00:49:25,660 --> 00:49:27,660
As far as the stuff going on.

950
00:49:27,660 --> 00:49:29,660
All Risky, come to Risky.

951
00:49:29,660 --> 00:49:36,660
That's going on now with, as far as your production goal and what you got rolling here for these young, young people.

952
00:49:36,660 --> 00:49:45,660
Young artists, is there any words of encouragement for them when they're finally going to step on the stage?

953
00:49:45,660 --> 00:49:49,660
Or what do you, they're not always like a pep talk before they go on.

954
00:49:49,660 --> 00:49:51,660
Like before they go on stage?

955
00:49:51,660 --> 00:49:53,660
Yeah, before they roam off the night.

956
00:49:53,660 --> 00:49:55,660
Oh my God.

957
00:49:55,660 --> 00:49:56,660
Dear job.

958
00:49:56,660 --> 00:50:05,660
Like for when I do like the big productions and stuff like that, like it's, I try to make it feel like, you know, it's all about fun, you know.

959
00:50:05,660 --> 00:50:07,660
It's all about the, it is a job.

960
00:50:07,660 --> 00:50:14,660
And like when performing for artists that are doing like circus acts, like that could be detrimental to them.

961
00:50:14,660 --> 00:50:19,660
Like, because they are like the eights left and shit this music for rehearsing.

962
00:50:19,660 --> 00:50:24,660
And so they're highly tuned to certain hits that they're expecting in their songs.

963
00:50:24,660 --> 00:50:28,660
But to my guys, I don't want them to feel like, oh, that's pressure.

964
00:50:28,660 --> 00:50:34,660
Like it's like, it's another day, you know, like we do 550 shows a year.

965
00:50:34,660 --> 00:50:36,660
Like it's going to be nothing.

966
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:38,660
Another walk in the park, 14 shows a week sometimes.

967
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:42,660
So it would just be like, yeah, just let's just do it, you know, let's get on stage.

968
00:50:42,660 --> 00:50:43,660
Yeah, like a mess.

969
00:50:43,660 --> 00:50:45,660
It's going to be waiting for us after the show.

970
00:50:45,660 --> 00:50:55,660
But like for the guys down here that it's, it's a little rougher because they're not, they don't have the crowd that's paying $80 a ticket, $200 a ticket.

971
00:50:55,660 --> 00:50:56,660
Right.

972
00:50:56,660 --> 00:51:03,660
And when somebody spends that kind of money or they get free tickets for a show like that, they tend to enjoy it or be harsh, harsh critics about it.

973
00:51:03,660 --> 00:51:09,660
But out here, whether they pay for it or not, they're going to criticize you up and down.

974
00:51:09,660 --> 00:51:10,660
Right.

975
00:51:10,660 --> 00:51:15,660
So like the boys out here is just like, just to like get it, get it done.

976
00:51:15,660 --> 00:51:16,660
Like we just got to do it.

977
00:51:16,660 --> 00:51:19,660
It's the next step, step to the next show.

978
00:51:19,660 --> 00:51:20,660
Right.

979
00:51:20,660 --> 00:51:23,660
I never really have to like pep them up before anything like that.

980
00:51:23,660 --> 00:51:27,660
They're usually already picking themselves up because they all know what it is.

981
00:51:27,660 --> 00:51:28,660
You know, they're experienced.

982
00:51:28,660 --> 00:51:30,660
Game time game for a minute.

983
00:51:30,660 --> 00:51:35,660
Yeah, every time we step on the stage, you got to give it your all. You feel me? You can't just go in there half-assed it.

984
00:51:35,660 --> 00:51:36,660
You got to give it your all.

985
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:45,660
And even like me, like since I've been performing, I've done shows where there's little to nobody there and like I still go out there and perform like I had a crowd in front of me.

986
00:51:45,660 --> 00:51:46,660
I consider that practice.

987
00:51:46,660 --> 00:51:47,660
Yeah.

988
00:51:47,660 --> 00:51:51,660
There's one thing that I will say that like I always try to live by it.

989
00:51:51,660 --> 00:51:56,660
I always try to force that onto my musicians is like perform every show like it's your last show.

990
00:51:56,660 --> 00:51:57,660
Yeah.

991
00:51:57,660 --> 00:51:58,660
Because you never know.

992
00:51:58,660 --> 00:51:59,660
You never know who's there.

993
00:51:59,660 --> 00:52:00,660
And this happened to me.

994
00:52:00,660 --> 00:52:01,660
That's why I got picked up for Soleil.

995
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:09,660
I was working in New York and obviously when New York is a bigger opportunity place, you know, like there's a lot more, more eyes to be on you.

996
00:52:09,660 --> 00:52:20,660
But me being just a music director, like 30 feet up on this stage, playing, doing my stuff, I had an employee come up to me after the show and he's like, this guy wants to talk to you in the front.

997
00:52:20,660 --> 00:52:23,660
And I was like, okay, that's cool.

998
00:52:23,660 --> 00:52:24,660
I'm like that.

999
00:52:24,660 --> 00:52:27,660
I'm going to go again.

1000
00:52:27,660 --> 00:52:34,660
No, and I go and I speak to this guy and he's there with his family and I'm like, oh, it's just compliments.

1001
00:52:34,660 --> 00:52:35,660
Right.

1002
00:52:35,660 --> 00:52:36,660
I'm just thinking like that.

1003
00:52:36,660 --> 00:52:39,660
And he puts his kid down, pushes his family aside.

1004
00:52:39,660 --> 00:52:41,660
He's like, look, I need to talk to you.

1005
00:52:41,660 --> 00:52:50,660
I came looking for artists to perform in a show that I'm making and I couldn't keep my eyes off of your performance all night.

1006
00:52:50,660 --> 00:52:51,660
Like I see what you were doing.

1007
00:52:51,660 --> 00:52:53,660
This is the second time I come to watch a show.

1008
00:52:53,660 --> 00:52:57,660
I had to fly to Vegas to get my family come back just to watch the show again.

1009
00:52:57,660 --> 00:53:01,660
And I was just like, why would you do that?

1010
00:53:01,660 --> 00:53:02,660
Like, why would you do that?

1011
00:53:02,660 --> 00:53:04,660
And he was like, offering me the job.

1012
00:53:04,660 --> 00:53:05,660
Right.

1013
00:53:05,660 --> 00:53:13,660
And you know, like it's like what always happens like at first you just like, I've been offered so many things so many times, so many different places, so many different places.

1014
00:53:13,660 --> 00:53:15,660
And it's never turned into anything.

1015
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:18,660
So I treated it like, okay, bro.

1016
00:53:18,660 --> 00:53:19,660
Right.

1017
00:53:19,660 --> 00:53:21,660
It sounds real nice and pretty and everything like that.

1018
00:53:21,660 --> 00:53:23,660
What's your name Sasha?

1019
00:53:23,660 --> 00:53:24,660
That's cool.

1020
00:53:24,660 --> 00:53:25,660
It's nice to meet you, bro.

1021
00:53:25,660 --> 00:53:26,660
I'm glad you enjoyed the show.

1022
00:53:26,660 --> 00:53:27,660
You're in your family.

1023
00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:28,660
You all have a great day.

1024
00:53:28,660 --> 00:53:29,660
Thank you so much.

1025
00:53:29,660 --> 00:53:31,660
And he's like, no, please text me right now your phone number.

1026
00:53:31,660 --> 00:53:33,660
And I was like, yeah, no text.

1027
00:53:33,660 --> 00:53:34,660
It's fine.

1028
00:53:34,660 --> 00:53:35,660
Send me a text.

1029
00:53:35,660 --> 00:53:37,660
He's like, I'm going to get you in contract.

1030
00:53:37,660 --> 00:53:39,660
I'm going to email you a contract tomorrow and all these things.

1031
00:53:39,660 --> 00:53:40,660
Right, right, right.

1032
00:53:40,660 --> 00:53:41,660
And it didn't happen.

1033
00:53:41,660 --> 00:53:49,660
And I was just like it blew my mind because it's stuff like that that you only see happen in like TV shows, movies, whatever.

1034
00:53:49,660 --> 00:53:51,660
And it's like, oh shit, that your friends tell you.

1035
00:53:51,660 --> 00:53:53,660
And it's like that shit happened to me.

1036
00:53:53,660 --> 00:53:58,660
And I was like, damn, I'm glad I was like living by that fact to play every show.

1037
00:53:58,660 --> 00:54:00,660
Like it's my only show.

1038
00:54:00,660 --> 00:54:05,660
The only thing I can do today is the only thing I do like because what if tomorrow never comes?

1039
00:54:05,660 --> 00:54:10,660
And besides the biggest point was like, you never know who's watching.

1040
00:54:10,660 --> 00:54:12,660
All you need is one person or the right person.

1041
00:54:12,660 --> 00:54:13,660
Exactly.

1042
00:54:13,660 --> 00:54:14,660
Exactly.

1043
00:54:14,660 --> 00:54:21,660
I feel like personally as well when it comes to like community and the songs that we bring out into the public, you never know who it's going to resonate with.

1044
00:54:21,660 --> 00:54:25,660
You never know if someone's having a hard day coming out to come see you.

1045
00:54:25,660 --> 00:54:30,660
And they're like, you know what, your song, your music spoke to me and it made me feel better.

1046
00:54:30,660 --> 00:54:34,660
Or, hey, I actually had people come up to me.

1047
00:54:34,660 --> 00:54:39,660
There's a song that I wrote called Heaven's Door dedicated to my late father that passed away last year.

1048
00:54:39,660 --> 00:54:45,660
I've had people come up to me after that I sing that song and it's like, hey, I've lost a loved one.

1049
00:54:45,660 --> 00:54:46,660
Like I understand.

1050
00:54:46,660 --> 00:54:48,660
Like I empathize with you.

1051
00:54:48,660 --> 00:54:51,660
A little bit of the times I give people a hug because music is all about love.

1052
00:54:51,660 --> 00:54:53,660
You know, it's meant to be shared amongst everybody.

1053
00:54:53,660 --> 00:54:55,660
It's not something meant to be gate kept.

1054
00:54:55,660 --> 00:54:56,660
Right.

1055
00:54:56,660 --> 00:54:57,660
I hear you.

1056
00:54:57,660 --> 00:54:58,660
I hear you.

1057
00:54:58,660 --> 00:55:02,660
What do you stand on yours as far as the way it's coming down the line?

1058
00:55:02,660 --> 00:55:03,660
I mean, about the music.

1059
00:55:03,660 --> 00:55:04,660
It's coming beautifully.

1060
00:55:04,660 --> 00:55:05,660
Everything's peacefully.

1061
00:55:05,660 --> 00:55:06,660
It's coming in peace, man.

1062
00:55:06,660 --> 00:55:07,660
It's beautiful.

1063
00:55:07,660 --> 00:55:10,660
It's the puzzle pieces that we were missing and finally kind of coming together.

1064
00:55:10,660 --> 00:55:11,660
Right.

1065
00:55:11,660 --> 00:55:13,660
Musically and with artists and now the work too.

1066
00:55:13,660 --> 00:55:15,660
That we didn't have is coming into the work we needed.

1067
00:55:15,660 --> 00:55:16,660
It's beautiful.

1068
00:55:16,660 --> 00:55:18,660
It's a great feeling.

1069
00:55:18,660 --> 00:55:19,660
It's a great feeling.

1070
00:55:19,660 --> 00:55:28,660
And every day we're working, like every single day, like there's times where we go into the studio at 8 o'clock and we don't leave there until 7, 8 in the morning.

1071
00:55:28,660 --> 00:55:29,660
That's beautiful, bro.

1072
00:55:29,660 --> 00:55:30,660
You know what I'm saying?

1073
00:55:30,660 --> 00:55:31,660
It's just straight, pure work.

1074
00:55:31,660 --> 00:55:32,660
Especially with me.

1075
00:55:32,660 --> 00:55:35,660
Jesse Jackson, he's seeing me right now.

1076
00:55:35,660 --> 00:55:40,660
But Jesse Jackson, we've both been going to the studio every single day, bro.

1077
00:55:40,660 --> 00:55:43,660
Like there's not a day that we don't miss.

1078
00:55:43,660 --> 00:55:45,660
It's just straight work, you know?

1079
00:55:45,660 --> 00:55:47,660
And that's all it is.

1080
00:55:47,660 --> 00:55:50,660
So I'll leave water for the last word.

1081
00:55:50,660 --> 00:55:58,660
Now that you have people that are in your path that are helping you towards your success, is there anything you want to say?

1082
00:55:58,660 --> 00:56:03,660
Yeah, well, I just want to say I'm very blessed for all the things I've done.

1083
00:56:03,660 --> 00:56:06,660
I was on the 9-5-6 Cyphers.

1084
00:56:06,660 --> 00:56:07,660
I did four of them.

1085
00:56:07,660 --> 00:56:11,660
I was the only rapper here in the RGV to be on four Cyphers.

1086
00:56:11,660 --> 00:56:19,660
You know, and then speaking about the Dominican Republic, I can't wait to go on tour to be with Mike, you know what I'm saying?

1087
00:56:19,660 --> 00:56:22,660
And, you know, it's something life-changing.

1088
00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:24,660
This is a big opportunity, you know?

1089
00:56:24,660 --> 00:56:26,660
You don't take something like this lightly, you feel me?

1090
00:56:26,660 --> 00:56:27,660
You don't get it every day.

1091
00:56:27,660 --> 00:56:31,660
But I do want to represent the valley as best as possible, as best as I can.

1092
00:56:31,660 --> 00:56:34,660
You know what I'm saying? Not only the valley, but myself, you know?

1093
00:56:34,660 --> 00:56:37,660
And represent these guys, you know?

1094
00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:40,660
They've been helping me along the way and I'm not going to forget them, you know?

1095
00:56:40,660 --> 00:56:44,660
It's like, I tell this guy every day, like, I'm going to be recording with y'all.

1096
00:56:44,660 --> 00:56:46,660
Like, when I make it, like, I don't need any other producer.

1097
00:56:46,660 --> 00:56:48,660
Like, I want to be working directly with you.

1098
00:56:48,660 --> 00:56:49,660
Exactly.

1099
00:56:49,660 --> 00:56:50,660
You know what I'm saying?

1100
00:56:50,660 --> 00:56:51,660
Because that's the vibe, you know?

1101
00:56:51,660 --> 00:56:54,660
That's just the thing I've been on, you know what I'm saying?

1102
00:56:54,660 --> 00:56:57,660
Yeah, man, it's just been a good journey, you feel me?

1103
00:56:57,660 --> 00:57:03,660
As far as everything that I've heard today about you all, like, you guys, you have a perfect team right here, bro.

1104
00:57:03,660 --> 00:57:04,660
Yeah.

1105
00:57:04,660 --> 00:57:05,660
Everybody has a role.

1106
00:57:05,660 --> 00:57:06,660
Yep.

1107
00:57:06,660 --> 00:57:07,660
You know?

1108
00:57:07,660 --> 00:57:08,660
So it's perfect.

1109
00:57:08,660 --> 00:57:09,660
You got it.

1110
00:57:09,660 --> 00:57:10,660
Start moving.

1111
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:11,660
Yep.

1112
00:57:11,660 --> 00:57:12,660
That's what it's all about.

1113
00:57:12,660 --> 00:57:13,660
Yeah.

1114
00:57:13,660 --> 00:57:16,660
So, guys, we are 57 minutes into the podcast.

1115
00:57:16,660 --> 00:57:17,660
Nothing but fun today.

1116
00:57:17,660 --> 00:57:18,660
Same ghosts.

1117
00:57:18,660 --> 00:57:19,660
Same ghosts.

1118
00:57:19,660 --> 00:57:23,660
And a mirror where my buddy over here just has fun in front of it.

1119
00:57:23,660 --> 00:57:26,660
I just want to add one more thing, you know?

1120
00:57:26,660 --> 00:57:29,660
What's up, bro?

1121
00:57:29,660 --> 00:57:33,660
Yeah, I just want to say, you know, I just recently lost my grandpa.

1122
00:57:33,660 --> 00:57:34,660
Oh, okay, alright.

1123
00:57:34,660 --> 00:57:36,660
He passed away at 101 years old.

1124
00:57:36,660 --> 00:57:37,660
Yay, man!

1125
00:57:37,660 --> 00:57:38,660
He was a veteran.

1126
00:57:38,660 --> 00:57:42,660
He came out on the, he came out on New China 4 and everything like that.

1127
00:57:42,660 --> 00:57:43,660
Oh, wow.

1128
00:57:43,660 --> 00:57:44,660
They made it a big thing, bro.

1129
00:57:44,660 --> 00:57:45,660
New China New?

1130
00:57:45,660 --> 00:57:46,660
Yeah.

1131
00:57:46,660 --> 00:57:49,660
I got to see my cousins and stuff, you know?

1132
00:57:49,660 --> 00:57:51,660
It was a life-changing experience, but, you know...

1133
00:57:51,660 --> 00:57:52,660
101.

1134
00:57:52,660 --> 00:57:53,660
That's the great one.

1135
00:57:53,660 --> 00:57:56,660
He lived a great life, right?

1136
00:57:56,660 --> 00:57:57,660
He beat out Jimmy Carter.

1137
00:57:57,660 --> 00:58:00,660
Jimmy Carter will honor you.

1138
00:58:00,660 --> 00:58:01,660
Whole-boy thing 101.

1139
00:58:01,660 --> 00:58:02,660
Yeah.

1140
00:58:02,660 --> 00:58:03,660
Damn.

1141
00:58:03,660 --> 00:58:07,860
It was crazy to see him, like, you know, memorializing because, you know, like, there was veterans

1142
00:58:07,860 --> 00:58:11,660
out there that were like, you know, they did the 21 Gun Salute and all that.

1143
00:58:11,660 --> 00:58:12,660
It was crazy seeing that.

1144
00:58:12,660 --> 00:58:13,660
You feel me?

1145
00:58:13,660 --> 00:58:14,660
Like, it's just...

1146
00:58:14,660 --> 00:58:15,660
That's crazy, man.

1147
00:58:15,660 --> 00:58:16,660
I'm 101.

1148
00:58:16,660 --> 00:58:17,660
101 years old, bro.

1149
00:58:17,660 --> 00:58:18,660
Mike Condolence is bro.

1150
00:58:18,660 --> 00:58:19,660
Yeah, I appreciate you.

1151
00:58:19,660 --> 00:58:20,660
I appreciate you.

1152
00:58:20,660 --> 00:58:23,660
I mean, Condolence is, I mean, celebrate his life for so long.

1153
00:58:23,660 --> 00:58:26,660
I would love to do this all week to 101.

1154
00:58:26,660 --> 00:58:28,660
Can that be better, man?

1155
00:58:28,660 --> 00:58:31,660
Can you imagine giving it 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100?

1156
00:58:31,660 --> 00:58:32,660
I'm hoping for 50, bro.

1157
00:58:32,660 --> 00:58:36,660
Well, I'm rounding there already, buddy, so this is not a big thing.

1158
00:58:36,660 --> 00:58:38,660
I'm almost there.

1159
00:58:38,660 --> 00:58:40,660
I'm almost there.

1160
00:58:40,660 --> 00:58:43,660
Not a big thing, but you can make it better.

1161
00:58:43,660 --> 00:58:44,660
Say it 43.

1162
00:58:44,660 --> 00:58:47,660
Yeah, watch it, I'm going to eat those.

1163
00:58:47,660 --> 00:58:53,660
No, but guys, first thing I want to say, thank you once again for coming out of Water, bringing

1164
00:58:53,660 --> 00:58:56,660
some extra special guests with you, man, to hear, talk a little bit more with you and

1165
00:58:56,660 --> 00:58:57,660
what's going on in the future.

1166
00:58:57,660 --> 00:59:02,660
All I can see to each one of you is just keep pursuing on what you're...

1167
00:59:02,660 --> 00:59:03,660
I was going to make a rhyme there.

1168
00:59:03,660 --> 00:59:04,660
Keep pursuing what you're doing.

1169
00:59:04,660 --> 00:59:06,660
I was going to say, open the...

1170
00:59:06,660 --> 00:59:07,660
Unique!

1171
00:59:07,660 --> 00:59:09,660
Unique is what it is.

1172
00:59:09,660 --> 00:59:13,660
Yeah, the album should be dropping in two or three weeks from now.

1173
00:59:13,660 --> 00:59:15,660
Yeah, Watermania coming out soon, y'all.

1174
00:59:15,660 --> 00:59:17,660
As soon as it drops, drops itself.

1175
00:59:17,660 --> 00:59:19,660
We'll give you two days, we'll give you a two-day advantage.

1176
00:59:19,660 --> 00:59:23,660
Let us know, send it to our page and we'll gladly actually put you on the show.

1177
00:59:23,660 --> 00:59:24,660
For sure, for sure.

1178
00:59:24,660 --> 00:59:25,660
For sure.

1179
00:59:25,660 --> 00:59:26,660
Nothing to miss on.

1180
00:59:26,660 --> 00:59:30,660
But like I said before, keep going, keep doing what you're doing, keep...

1181
00:59:30,660 --> 00:59:31,660
Just...

1182
00:59:31,660 --> 00:59:33,660
You guys got an awesome blueprint.

1183
00:59:33,660 --> 00:59:34,660
Yeah, just keep going.

1184
00:59:34,660 --> 00:59:37,660
And eventually you'll add more to your blueprint.

1185
00:59:37,660 --> 00:59:42,660
Music that I got out right now, Waiting Games is out now, and I'm also going to be dropping

1186
00:59:42,660 --> 00:59:45,660
one called The World Is Yours pretty soon.

1187
00:59:45,660 --> 00:59:48,660
So they're going to be singles and then Watermania's dropping.

1188
00:59:48,660 --> 00:59:49,660
There you go, man.

1189
00:59:49,660 --> 00:59:50,660
There you go.

1190
00:59:50,660 --> 00:59:53,660
Guys, keep an eye out for water and all the great music that's coming in.

1191
00:59:53,660 --> 00:59:56,660
Watermania featuring Hulk Hogan and Sting.

1192
00:59:56,660 --> 00:59:57,660
Ah, so...

1193
00:59:57,660 --> 00:59:58,660
My name!

1194
00:59:58,660 --> 01:00:00,660
And Rich Flare.

1195
01:00:00,660 --> 01:00:01,660
Woo!

1196
01:00:01,660 --> 01:00:03,660
I don't know about Hogan, bro.

1197
01:00:03,660 --> 01:00:08,660
We in here, Newsy Wright, they kiss any girl in here.

1198
01:00:08,660 --> 01:00:10,660
He was like, fat one right there, make her cry.

1199
01:00:10,660 --> 01:00:17,660
But anyways, guys, thank you so much, man, for what we can do this again, bring you again.

1200
01:00:17,660 --> 01:00:20,660
Any more artists that come your way, just reach out to us.

1208
01:00:30,660 --> 01:00:33,660
Guys, this is the podcast for this week.

1209
01:00:33,660 --> 01:00:34,660
I'm sorry, I took you guys out.

1210
01:00:34,660 --> 01:00:35,660
Go ahead and say goodbye.

1211
01:00:35,660 --> 01:00:36,660
I'm sorry, go ahead.

1212
01:00:36,660 --> 01:00:37,660
Bye!

1213
01:00:37,660 --> 01:00:38,660
Take it easy, huh?

1214
01:00:38,660 --> 01:00:40,660
Alright, that's enough!

1215
01:00:40,660 --> 01:00:41,660
It's me, Ty!

1216
01:00:41,660 --> 01:00:42,660
Alright!

1217
01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:48,660
No, guys, thank you so much for tuning in with us this week.

1218
01:00:48,660 --> 01:00:56,660
One thing I want to say to everybody out there that's going on in the world, stuff that

1219
01:00:56,660 --> 01:01:01,660
we've seen on TV already, I'm not going to use the actual word, but I'll use the word

1220
01:01:01,660 --> 01:01:06,660
Yachtsy, that's been tossed on television all over the place.

1221
01:01:06,660 --> 01:01:09,660
There'll be a lot of pissed off big moments.

1222
01:01:09,660 --> 01:01:14,660
All I can say, guys, is just one day at a time.

1223
01:01:14,660 --> 01:01:16,660
One day at a time?

1224
01:01:16,660 --> 01:01:17,660
One day at a time?

1225
01:01:17,660 --> 01:01:18,660
One day at a time?

1226
01:01:18,660 --> 01:01:19,660
One day at a time?

1227
01:01:19,660 --> 01:01:21,660
No, seriously, guys, I'm from the Gulf of America.

1228
01:01:21,660 --> 01:01:22,660
Oh, gosh, shut up.

1229
01:01:22,660 --> 01:01:24,660
I'll just be fucking some guys.

1230
01:01:24,660 --> 01:01:26,660
I'm gonna be fucking some guys.

1231
01:01:26,660 --> 01:01:27,660
I hate my lose man.

1232
01:01:27,660 --> 01:01:35,660
This whole thing that's actually been tossed out as far as immigration going out there,

1233
01:01:35,660 --> 01:01:39,660
how ICE supposedly what's going on, there's so much stuff going on, guys.

1234
01:01:39,660 --> 01:01:41,660
I don't even want to get into just peanut butter of itself.

1235
01:01:41,660 --> 01:01:42,660
Try stopping by them.

1236
01:01:42,660 --> 01:01:43,660
Peanut butter!

1237
01:01:43,660 --> 01:01:50,660
But, guys, all I can say is one day at a time, guys.

1238
01:01:50,660 --> 01:01:52,660
Pissed off baby mama, I'm not a problem.

1239
01:01:52,660 --> 01:01:55,660
Anyways, anyways, no more King Kong.

1240
01:01:55,660 --> 01:01:57,660
Dude, we gotta go!

1241
01:01:57,660 --> 01:02:02,660
