Speaker 7: Yeah, it's Stacy's song has been out since today, and yeah,
Speaker 7: it's the series of probably several singles that are gonna

Speaker 7: Yeah, and then I have a video and official video
Speaker 7: that uh I handa B photography and I filmed together
Speaker 7: that I'm going to be releasing soon too.
Speaker 5: Very good. Like how so like within the next couple
Speaker 5: of weeks.
Speaker 7: You would think with someone who's passionate, they would have
Speaker 7: a date set, but I haven't put it. We we
Speaker 7: kind of created that video so extemporaneously and very last minute.
Speaker 7: So it's done and it's ready.
Speaker 6: I could release it now, but I don't know when
Speaker 6: I want to do it.
Speaker 5: Right right, No, it makes sense. Yeah, you want to
Speaker 5: wait till the time is right. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. And
Speaker 5: so you said, so you're releasing a series of singles.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm doing you you ever heard the Waterfall Effect?
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, I've heard.
Speaker 7: I don't really want to do it because I don't
Speaker 7: like the idea of it, but it seems to everyone's
Speaker 7: just telling me to do it. So I'm like, why
Speaker 7: don't I do it this time around and then the next I.
Speaker 6: Can do with the way I want to do it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, yeah, I'm releasing probably every other month, I'm going
Speaker 7: to release a song.
Speaker 5: Actually, I'm going to ask you to get a little
Speaker 5: closer to that, mic. I thought it was a good distance.
Speaker 5: But yeah, So, uh, you're a previous because you have
Speaker 5: the album Schema, which we've played songs from before. So
Speaker 5: but this time, so will the singles that you're releasing
Speaker 5: will they eventually call a.
Speaker 7: Yeah, actually it's going to release. The album is going
Speaker 7: to be called Case Studies. And you had the artists
Speaker 7: who did the artwork for it on the show.
Speaker 6: Kira Curtis Oh yes, that's why we talked about that.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she did the final album artwork, and then for
Speaker 7: all the singles, I want to get local artists to
Speaker 7: kind of create the what what would you call it,
Speaker 7: the Spotify single template for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh that's a great idea. Yeah, yeah, very cool,
Speaker 5: very cool? Are these? Uh So Schema obviously kind of
Speaker 5: has a theme.
Speaker 6: Yeah, now I took that out this time.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm sure.
Speaker 7: It's in there because I think in that kind of way,
Speaker 7: but in terms of titles and overall concept, I just
Speaker 7: wanted to kind of rein free. There was I put
Speaker 7: a lot of restrictions on Schema, like there's only you know,
Speaker 7: you play guitar or correct yea, so there's only like
Speaker 7: certain shapes that I restricted myself to to create songs with.
Speaker 7: For this time around, I was like, let me experiment
Speaker 7: more of harmony and let me experiment more with just
Speaker 7: I just wanted it to be completely And I even
Speaker 7: went to like a studio this time around to like
Speaker 7: record them and act in Massachusetts.
Speaker 6: So I just wanted to try something new.
Speaker 5: Okay. So that's where Stacy was recorded.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and well Spring sounds okay. Josh is awesome. I
Speaker 6: love the guy.
Speaker 5: Now, how did you connect with him and why did
Speaker 5: you decide to work with him?
Speaker 7: I was looking at places that offered tape recording because
Speaker 7: I was because you know, why not and they don't
Speaker 7: do that. But they came up and I saw their
Speaker 7: rates and I was like, that's affordable.
Speaker 5: So so you were looking for so when you say
Speaker 5: tape recording, so you were looking for that, I.
Speaker 6: Was looking for like real to reel that.
Speaker 7: Wow, and it's it's possible. It's just then I started
Speaker 7: I get really in my head about these things. It's
Speaker 7: like would that be a cliche? Would that be a
Speaker 7: little bit of a gimmick? And so then I found
Speaker 7: them and I was like, why don't I just give
Speaker 7: this a try? And Josh, what's cool is I'm a
Speaker 7: big Elliott Smith fan. And they have the original microphones
Speaker 7: that Elliott Smith used on his Lucky three documentary, which
Speaker 7: is like the mike, it's a Newman something. I forget
Speaker 7: what they're called, but uh, okay, so just I got
Speaker 7: to record the whole album with those microphones.
Speaker 5: So kidding, Oh very cool. Yeah, yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 6: I mean it meant a lot to me.
Speaker 5: That's awesome. Yeah, I am curious. Were you able to
Speaker 5: find I assume not in the area. Were you able
Speaker 5: to find a studio that does real to real when
Speaker 5: you were looking online? Yeah?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah absolutely. And I had a friend, uh, my
Speaker 7: friend Josh. He actually has a four track set recorder,
Speaker 7: and I was thinking about doing something like that.
Speaker 6: But I don't know, it's so funny you because I
Speaker 6: was just thinking about this.
Speaker 7: I kind of want to make an album and I
Speaker 7: know saying this live on the air, like it's silly,
Speaker 7: but I want to create an album where I just
Speaker 7: record right on my iPhone because to me, the iPhone
Speaker 7: voicemail app seems to be like the new Lo Fi
Speaker 7: And I would like, what can.
Speaker 6: I do with that?
Speaker 7: And maybe I could do something kind of Nick Drake
Speaker 7: like and like do a live fingerpicking and vocal intimate
Speaker 7: stuff and like it won't sound like high professional, but
Speaker 7: that's like that's the point.
Speaker 5: Right right. Yeah.
Speaker 7: I love I love when it sounds like you're there,
Speaker 7: you know why. It's not like I love.
Speaker 6: The room noise. I love everything about that. Yeah, I
Speaker 6: love the mistakes.
Speaker 5: Yeah, how did I know? We talked about this before?
Speaker 5: But how how was schema recorded?
Speaker 7: In my in my farmhouse, just with like a simple
Speaker 7: microphone and and uh a Logic Pro and a laptop
Speaker 7: that couldn't handle Logic Pro. And then I just kind
Speaker 7: of figured it out. I mixed in myself, so I
Speaker 7: just did it by ear. I don't really know how
Speaker 7: to do compression or make uh you know EQ and
Speaker 7: you know it shows. But I'm really happy. I'm really
Speaker 7: proud of that album. Every time I listen to it,
Speaker 7: I'm always.
Speaker 6: Like, oh I still like this, Yeah, which that good?
Speaker 6: That hasn't happened before.
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Really?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Have you been self critical in the past of some of.
Speaker 6: Your pre prozac Yeah?
Speaker 5: That makes sense. That makes sense. You want to play
Speaker 5: something a lot for sure?
Speaker 6: Could I play an Elliot Smith song?
Speaker 5: You can play anything you'd like?
Speaker 7: All right, this is an Elliot Smith song. It's called Angelus.
Speaker 2: Someone's always coming around here trailing some nucule said, I
Speaker 2: see in your picture on a hundred dollars bill.
Speaker 3: Taking of chance to you in the swan of real skill.
Speaker 3: So glad to meet you and just pick it up.
Speaker 2: The ticket showstairs, money to be me, go on loose
Speaker 2: that gamble that stuff history you have the trade?
Speaker 3: Did you add up all the cards left to play
Speaker 3: to zero, sign up with evil and less.
Speaker 2: Don't start me dry now, uh huh uh huh uh
Speaker 2: huh uh uh.
Speaker 3: Because I'm born over it and.
Speaker 2: I can make you satisfied with everything you do. All
Speaker 2: your secret wishes could right now home back to you.
Speaker 3: Be for with Mad Poyson around you.
Speaker 2: No one's gone fool round first, no one's gone the fool.
Speaker 3: First song that meets you angeless?
Speaker 5: Very cool? I like it. I like it.
Speaker 6: What's that called Angelus by Elliott Smith?
Speaker 5: Yeah? I like it. I don't think I've ever heard
Speaker 5: that before.
Speaker 3: That's beautiful.
Speaker 5: I mean, I've always been aware of Elliott Smith and
Speaker 5: and somewhat familiar, but I don't Uh yeah, I don't
Speaker 5: know that song. But no, I really like it.
Speaker 6: He's my hero, yea.
Speaker 5: What is it about him? Is it is? That's a
Speaker 5: great song? Is it a songwriting?
Speaker 6: Yes, it's definitely the songwriting. When I was in my
Speaker 6: senior year of high school, this really cool guy did
Speaker 6: a English project and we had to choose a song
Speaker 6: and like talk about how it has symbolic meaning. And
Speaker 6: he did a song called Between.
Speaker 7: The Bars and I just watched it and it was
Speaker 7: like everything I wanted to be. Yeah, and then that
Speaker 7: night It's so funny because it was just coincidence. I
Speaker 7: watched Goodwill Hunting and he did the music for Goodwill Hunting.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, and I was.
Speaker 6: Watching, I was listening to it. I was like, wow,
Speaker 6: this is really good.
Speaker 3: Who is it?
Speaker 7: And I looked it up at was Elliot Smith And
Speaker 7: actually is the reason I got into psychology that movie.
Speaker 6: So really yeah, so he just I don't know, his
Speaker 6: playing blows my mind, his songwriting, his voice blows mine
Speaker 6: and I love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't remember if we talked about this before,
Speaker 5: but so Goodwill Hunting is what inspired you to get
Speaker 5: into psychology.
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's this.
Speaker 7: There's a great scene in that movie where Robin Williams
Speaker 7: is talking to Matt Damon about laying bricks, and Matt
Speaker 7: Damon's like making the argument like why are we looking
Speaker 7: at laying bricks like it's a bad job.
Speaker 6: That's a noble job.
Speaker 7: There's honor in that, And it like blew my mind
Speaker 7: hearing that for the first time and seeing then Matt
Speaker 7: have a kind of breakthrough.
Speaker 6: It was like, I want to I want to experience
Speaker 6: that in my lifetime.
Speaker 4: Oh.
Speaker 5: Interesting, yeah. The Uh if this sounds familiar to you,
Speaker 5: then we did talk about this before. But your friend
Speaker 5: my dad has told me that people have told him
Speaker 5: that the Robin Williams character reminds that reminds them of him.
Speaker 6: Oh really, yeah, I know. Yeah, but you're a hypnotist, correct, Yes?
Speaker 6: Have you do you find that?
Speaker 7: Because hypnotism can create incredible change in a person, is
Speaker 7: there like a breakthrough moment? Would you say, like, can
Speaker 7: a person realize there I don't like using the word cured,
Speaker 7: but when they realized that a problem can maybe get
Speaker 7: diminished or fixed.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Do you experience that yourself or is it more outside
Speaker 7: the office where they notice that.
Speaker 5: I'll well, I'll tell you this. It's a great question
Speaker 5: because sometimes during a session, at the end of it,
Speaker 5: they're different, Like, not everybody, but sometimes they are, Like
Speaker 5: I can see the subtle differences even in just how
Speaker 5: they like their facial expressions, Like they exude a confidence
Speaker 5: and a sense of empowerment that clearly was not there
Speaker 5: before the sex. Cool. Yeah, and it is. I do
Speaker 5: love that. I guess such a rush for that's you know.
Speaker 5: I like to think I have certain skill sets, I'm
Speaker 5: good at something, I think I'm okay at hosting a
Speaker 5: talk show. I'm good for some good at that. But
Speaker 5: the one thing I really love is hypnotherapy.
Speaker 3: Really.
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what's cool about hitting the therapy too
Speaker 7: is and people don't talk about this, but hypnotherapy is
Speaker 7: the reason why psychoanalysis and therapy exists because Freud saw
Speaker 7: hypnotherapy and was fascinated by it.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So, like it's such an important part of mental health
Speaker 7: that we don't talk about a lot. It's diminished a
Speaker 7: little bit, it's coming back and its diminished, it goes
Speaker 7: in waves. Sometimes it's used as a party trick, and
Speaker 7: it's like it's not just that it's it's a form
Speaker 7: of behavioral therapy.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely absolutely, No, I love I love
Speaker 5: helping people with it. I do uh, I do a
Speaker 5: visualization while they're in a state of hypnosis where I
Speaker 5: have them imagine they're the ideal version of themselves, the
Speaker 5: version of themselves that they most want to be. Oh wow,
Speaker 5: And yeah, people seem to really get a lot out
Speaker 5: of that, you know. But yeah, and so you now
Speaker 5: are you where are you in your career with with
Speaker 5: psycho psychology.
Speaker 6: Ye, I'm in my third semester of grad school.
Speaker 5: Excellent.
Speaker 7: I'm actually in my counseling skills class that I adore.
Speaker 6: I've been a.
Speaker 7: Case manager since the beginning, but I'm really looking forward
Speaker 7: to internship. I love case management, but I'm really looking
Speaker 7: forward to internship because i want to be in the
Speaker 7: office and you know, just reading up on Yalam and
Speaker 7: reading up on.
Speaker 6: Carl Rogers.
Speaker 7: I think the therapy that I'm interested in the most
Speaker 7: is Rogarian therapy and like existential therapy.
Speaker 6: So I'm still trying and a little bit of solution focused.
Speaker 6: There's some that's in there.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I just I'm I got about another year
Speaker 7: and a half until i am.
Speaker 6: That's like part of my life.
Speaker 7: Yeah, cool, very exciting, cant and done days.
Speaker 5: That's that's excellent. Do you think do you think your
Speaker 5: music will change when you when you get to that point?
Speaker 6: How so, like I don't know, like do you.
Speaker 5: Think because obviously you know you have these things in mind,
Speaker 5: like with schema, you have these things in mind as
Speaker 5: you're writing these songs. I mean, do you think it'll
Speaker 5: do you think it will change your perspective at all
Speaker 5: in terms of how you actually approach your music.
Speaker 7: I think where I get my most happiness from is
Speaker 7: playing live. And I mean I've been busy with the
Speaker 7: music stuff and it's been like two three hour shows
Speaker 7: playing at bars, playing like you know, can't help falling
Speaker 7: in love with Elves or hate Jude by the Beatles,
Speaker 7: And I find a lack of arcists in that, and.
Speaker 6: I don't. I think the image.
Speaker 7: That I'm kind of portraying right in front of you
Speaker 7: right now is kind of what I want to continue doing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: See, at one point I was singing about do I
Speaker 7: want a band or nine? That's like that sounds so expensive?
Speaker 9: So right right, So in a lot of ways, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: I think I want to find a healthy balance like
Speaker 9: and sounds silly, but almost like the Batman thing, you know.
Speaker 7: By day I do I see patients and I see
Speaker 7: clients and I help the best I can, and I
Speaker 7: grow and build relationships. And at night I play music
Speaker 7: and I grow and build relationships. So yeah, that's and
Speaker 7: then you know, somewhere in between that also, I'm I'm
Speaker 7: a happy husband and father, So to me, that sounds
Speaker 7: like the ideal life for me.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Do you think people overlook the benefit the psychological benefits
Speaker 5: of music, like do you think the It's funny because
Speaker 5: I've never really thought about it before from this angle,
Speaker 5: but as we're talking to a personally, like, you know,
Speaker 5: music in and of itself is such great therapy, even
Speaker 5: just listening to it, you know, it can really affect
Speaker 5: how you feel. And but sometimes I wonder if people don't.
Speaker 5: I mean a lot of people do, even if they
Speaker 5: just don't realize it necessarily consciously. But I think music
Speaker 5: itself is kind of overlooked in that it can so
Speaker 5: so much influence how we feel, how we feel about ourselves,
Speaker 5: and and but it can also be sabotaging, and I
Speaker 5: feel too exactly. Yeah, something I've never understood about people
Speaker 5: is why. I mean, I I do get it, but
Speaker 5: I but I it's not my instinct to do this
Speaker 5: when someone is sad and they want to listen to
Speaker 5: sad songs because they feel sad. And I've always been
Speaker 5: from my entire from when I was a kid, when
Speaker 5: I was a little kid. If I'm sad, the last
Speaker 5: thing I want to do is listen to sad music.
Speaker 5: I want to listen to something that's going to change
Speaker 5: my state of mind.
Speaker 6: I think the thing that is actually maybe maybe not
Speaker 6: maybe I'm getting a tangential. But the thing that's more
Speaker 6: interesting to me is.
Speaker 7: Music you can develop an identity with. You know, if
Speaker 7: there's a banana across the room, I'm not going to
Speaker 7: have an identity with that banana. I'm not gonna go like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 7: that's my favorite type of banana. It's from New Zealand
Speaker 7: or something like that. You know, I don't know if
Speaker 7: New Zealand grows bananas, but yeah, you know, with music,
Speaker 7: it can get really idiolating because there can be times
Speaker 7: where I've had moments where music is my best friend
Speaker 7: on certain days, and there's certain days where it's just like,
Speaker 7: oh my god, I've listened to Room for Squares by
Speaker 7: John Mayer NonStop for a week and then I have
Speaker 7: an identity crisis. Yeah, so that part doesn't get taught
Speaker 7: bad enough, where, especially if you're into the arts and
Speaker 7: you pursue the arts, you have moments of imposter syndrome
Speaker 7: and identity crisis. And yes, music can be your best
Speaker 7: friend at the end of the day. And I think
Speaker 7: Smells Like Teen Spirit is one of the greatest songs
Speaker 7: of all time, but after listening to it two thousand times,
Speaker 7: when I listen to it now, it's like, I know
Speaker 7: what happens on second forty five.
Speaker 6: I can't listen to that song anymore, you know.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So it's a it's a balance, and
Speaker 7: I'm always trying. The other hard thing I want to
Speaker 7: say is discovering new music for me is really difficult.
Speaker 6: I try really hard.
Speaker 7: I look for stuff, and it's just there's something going
Speaker 7: on where my brain's like, nah, keep going. And when
Speaker 7: I do find somebody, like right now it's been hip hop,
Speaker 7: I'm like obsessed with just like we were talking about
Speaker 7: before the show, making, like beat making and stuff like that. Yeah,
Speaker 7: that's fine. It's like, finally here's that energetic high I've
Speaker 7: been looking for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. So but so you so you
Speaker 5: have a hard time though, finding new music that you like.
Speaker 7: Especially with acoustic music, because usually when people recommend me
Speaker 7: acoustic stuff that it would make sense that I should
Speaker 7: like it, but it just doesn't hit me. Like A
Speaker 7: good example is Bonaver, very talented musician. People who love Boneaver.
Speaker 7: You have great taste. I'm not here to try and
Speaker 7: question that. And then when it comes to my ears
Speaker 7: and I process it, it's like this isn't for me.
Speaker 7: It's just not hitting it. I've I don't Maybe the
Speaker 7: maybe the problem is.
Speaker 6: I don't actually know what I want.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I don't actually have my taste well defined
Speaker 7: yet in my head?
Speaker 5: Well does it? Is it also possible that the production
Speaker 5: is bothering you because because yeah, because you know, you're
Speaker 5: a low fi guy.
Speaker 7: But I love again, I love smells like teen Spirit,
Speaker 7: which is the exact opposite of that. So it's like
Speaker 7: it depends on the context of the music itself.
Speaker 5: But even smells like teen Spirit, the production is different
Speaker 5: than what like now, everything is so compressed.
Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, the only.
Speaker 5: People I feel really get it right is uh. I'm
Speaker 5: not a big country guy, but I gotta say, from
Speaker 5: a production standpoint, Nashville has it down.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5: The drums always sound great.
Speaker 7: You know, this is where it sounds like I almost
Speaker 7: don't want to come across as like a double like
Speaker 7: I'm here I making double standards. But like, for example,
Speaker 7: like my friend sent me a song by an artist
Speaker 7: called Dare the songs called Girls Don't Play. It's very raunchy.
Speaker 7: I love that song. Yeah, it's awesome. I love I
Speaker 7: love when that stuff is incorporated into like dance music
Speaker 7: and stuff like that, it's like yes, but when it's incorporated,
Speaker 7: it's like the acoustic guitar.
Speaker 6: And I hear an acoustic guitar, especially.
Speaker 7: Like like maybe controversible, and I hear guitar that has
Speaker 7: like Elixir strings on it. For those who know what
Speaker 7: Elexa strings are, they're coded strings. It's like an immediate
Speaker 7: turnoff from my ears.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't like it. It sounds too clean.
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I want to make it clear, like I
Speaker 7: don't think that this should be the standard for anyone
Speaker 7: by any means, like because I'm not the best guitar
Speaker 7: player of all time.
Speaker 6: I'm not the best songwriter of all time.
Speaker 3: I'm not.
Speaker 7: It's nothing like that. It's just for what I look
Speaker 7: for to help me grow as a musician. I put
Speaker 7: these kind of things on a pedestal.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes sense. If
Speaker 5: you are just joining us, Temple Mountain is here with
Speaker 5: us alive in studio, and you want.
Speaker 6: To play another one, Sure, I'll actually play.
Speaker 7: Because you played Stacy song earlier, I'll played the next
Speaker 7: single I'm probably gonna release after that. Oh cool, And
Speaker 7: I'm probably gonna mess it.
Speaker 5: Up, So that's okay.
Speaker 6: Ever, only live.
Speaker 5: It's an original and we won't know very good.
Speaker 6: It's called grateful, all right.
Speaker 2: Choice of girl is so profound, different shades of black
Speaker 2: and gray. And you're say in the world is round,
Speaker 2: but I'd seen in different ways, and I've noticed you're
Speaker 2: holding my soul. Good, say with a breadth, Fay, it's
Speaker 2: only one way. Oh, it's all right, say that I
Speaker 2: need you so grateful, that meant you this way, waiting
Speaker 2: for the moon to bloom.
Speaker 3: I watch the way it starts. My heart is only
Speaker 3: sat on you. So now I thank you for today.
Speaker 2: And remember you told me the whole day the world
Speaker 2: can be the friend each day. Oh, it's all right
Speaker 2: to say that I need you so grateful to met.
Speaker 3: You sway stand behind again, backs our face and then.
Speaker 2: With voices all around, but we never made a sound.
Speaker 2: All Your story is so profound. Now you choose to
Speaker 2: live each day and it's never up or down.
Speaker 3: It's not a side that leans your way.
Speaker 2: Member, you told me to say for the world, as
Speaker 2: asked you this say. Oh it's all right to say
Speaker 2: that I needs you so grateful the mech you its way.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's all al.
Speaker 2: Right to say that I need you so grateful the
Speaker 2: met you today.
Speaker 5: Beautiful beautiful Temple Mountain Live and studio. Well that's so
Speaker 5: that's gonna be the next single.
Speaker 6: Yeah I think so. Yeah, yeah, probably in December.
Speaker 5: Very good, very good? Is it? Is it difficult to
Speaker 5: choose what to what to go with next because obviously
Speaker 5: you've written a lot of songs.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, and no, I just kind of do it,
Speaker 7: but yeah, I don't put too much thought into it,
Speaker 7: Like the this sounds silly, but like I'm just so
Speaker 7: I know social media is important. ID even think you
Speaker 7: were just talking about that with the last artist, how
Speaker 7: important it is on so or maybe that was yesterday.
Speaker 7: The social media is just so important to do as
Speaker 7: an artist. But I just don't see it as important.
Speaker 7: You know, if I wanted to, I can pay twenty
Speaker 7: bucks and get like fifty fake likes on my Facebook account, right,
Speaker 7: So like it's artificial, like it's all controlled. Like it's
Speaker 7: not the same as when I go live and I
Speaker 7: play a song with someone and connect with them and
Speaker 7: they come up to me after the show and say, hey,
Speaker 7: that was really cool. Even if it's just one person,
Speaker 7: that means way more to me, so.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't put too much thought. I do allow
Speaker 6: the releasing and stuff like that just so I can
Speaker 6: get gigs.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Jenny was just reminding me
Speaker 5: too online.
Speaker 6: Do you teach now, Oh, you don't teach music.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's what she meant.
Speaker 6: No, no, okay, I'm not much of a teacher.
Speaker 5: It's unfortunately thinking of somebody else. Yeah, now you uh,
Speaker 5: you did mention earlier. Sometimes you think about, you know,
Speaker 5: playing in a band or getting a band together. I mean,
Speaker 5: how how how seriously do you do you think about that?
Speaker 5: Is it possible in the future or is it something
Speaker 5: that you kind of dismissed when it pops into your head?
Speaker 7: Or I got a telecaster recently, so oh yeah, telecasts
Speaker 7: and a jazz chort Sam. Because I really like the
Speaker 7: sound of it, I think about it. It's just I
Speaker 7: don't know. I don't know how to do it. If
Speaker 7: if I don't think, I would want to search for
Speaker 7: it like I would if it happens naturally. That's how
Speaker 7: I'd be down for it, because I don't want to
Speaker 7: have like Temple Mountain, then I control the music and
Speaker 7: everything like that. I want it would be cool if
Speaker 7: it was something like Queen, where it's like I write songs,
Speaker 7: bass player write songs, and drummer writes songs and we
Speaker 7: just appreciate each.
Speaker 6: Other's songwriting together and we could all sing. That would
Speaker 6: be awesome.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, were you in a band before?
Speaker 6: Growing up?
Speaker 7: I was in a death metal band, Oh you were, yeah,
Speaker 7: called The Story of Anatomy in New York, but we
Speaker 7: didn't do anything. Yeah, and then I played I was
Speaker 7: Eric Phillip in New York City.
Speaker 6: And then because that's.
Speaker 7: My middle name, okay, and that just didn't go very well.
Speaker 7: And then this this has been really taking off. It's
Speaker 7: been crazy.
Speaker 5: And tell us again, how did you become Temple Mountain?
Speaker 7: Well, I live in Peterborough, which is right off and
Speaker 7: I live off a temple mountain.
Speaker 6: And then, you know, when you're starting to.
Speaker 7: Be a licensed therapist, you you learn a lot about
Speaker 7: both boundaries and confidentiality, and I think it's important that
Speaker 7: you know, I want to keep this life separate.
Speaker 6: So it's it's like I said earlier, it's kind of
Speaker 6: like my batman.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense. And uh,
Speaker 5: by the way, are you married now?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: Not yet? Oh not yeah, no, there. Okay, yeah, very good?
Speaker 6: Wait, very good?
Speaker 5: Is Stacy's song? Is that about your It is early?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Excellent. Yeah. I think I think she was in the
Speaker 5: chat room last time you were on with Yeah.
Speaker 6: She she works for Kobe Sawyer and today is homecoming,
Speaker 6: so she had to leave work for work today at
Speaker 6: like six am.
Speaker 7: She just doing a lot of stuff. So yeah, we're
Speaker 7: not going to be seeing each other until tomorrow. Probably
Speaker 7: not in the chat room today, gotcha. And if she is,
Speaker 7: then Kobe Sawyer should think about that because she's not
Speaker 7: doing her job.
Speaker 5: Well do you want to uh? Oh yeah, we got time.
Speaker 5: You want to play another one?
Speaker 6: For sure?
Speaker 8: Sure?
Speaker 5: If you are just joining us, A Temple Mountain is
Speaker 5: here with us live in studio, and we should tell
Speaker 5: people to Last night you were on Granded State of
Speaker 5: Mind with Rob as a veto. Yeah, so if you
Speaker 5: want to check that out too, that is of course
Speaker 5: up on the site WM Andhradio dot Org.
Speaker 6: Shout to Rob.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, Rob doing amazing things. You've you've played at
Speaker 5: Pembroke City Limits.
Speaker 6: So yeah, I played the Nirvana night there?
Speaker 5: Oh did you Yeah?
Speaker 6: It was incredible?
Speaker 5: What song did you do?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: Uh? I think I played on I'm on a Plane.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, yeah that's yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I did that, and then I played something in
Speaker 7: the way I meant. So what happened was I went
Speaker 7: in there going to play something in the way, and
Speaker 7: then like the day before, he asked.
Speaker 6: Me if I could play I think it was I'm
Speaker 6: on a Plane. Oh.
Speaker 7: I was just like yeah, okay, and so I had
Speaker 7: to kind of figure it out. And I remember I
Speaker 7: drove there like two hours earlier. I learned the song
Speaker 7: like two hours before the show, and no kidding, Yeah,
Speaker 7: I was so nervous and like it kept blanking because
Speaker 7: I kept going through the lyrics in my head. And
Speaker 7: then once you're on stage, something just kind of happens, yeah,
Speaker 7: and it all comes back to you.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So I got lucky. It was a good shime and
Speaker 7: I met so many cool people that night. That was
Speaker 7: the best part about that show, kid, Yeah, because here
Speaker 7: you just playing bar gigs, you're always by yourself. You
Speaker 7: don't get to really see other artist because you're always overlapping.
Speaker 7: Rob did something gray where he got all these people
Speaker 7: coming together.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, for those who don't know what we're talking about.
Speaker 5: So it was a show where everybody everybody played just
Speaker 5: just one right, just one Nirvana song?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Two? Yeah, yeah. Do you know how many performers there
Speaker 5: were that night?
Speaker 6: Total must have been close to seven or eight, no kidding. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I met Ben. Do you know Ben Harris?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 5: I heard him on Rob's show a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 6: Yeah, saw such a nice guy. So we met.
Speaker 7: We were speaking online already, and then we met from
Speaker 7: the show, and then he invited me to play at
Speaker 7: Panucci's Conquered, So like, we need more shows like that. Yeah,
Speaker 7: it's a great artist like to help artists. So yes,
Speaker 7: I really appreciate Rob.
Speaker 3: For doing that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, no, that's awesome. Yeah. Check out Pembroke City
Speaker 5: Limits if you haven't been there, it's a it's a
Speaker 5: great place. Rob's doing great things there. And uh, all right,
Speaker 5: you were gonna play and I totally derailed you.
Speaker 6: No, you're fine, But.
Speaker 5: Devile Mountain is here with us live in studio, and
Speaker 5: what are you gonna play for us?
Speaker 6: This is a song off Schema.
Speaker 7: It's called Stages of Attachment and with a name like that,
Speaker 7: you would never guess, but it's about my cat.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, all right, very good.
Speaker 8: So let's see you try to wake me up, assuming
Speaker 8: I should rise, So pull my.
Speaker 3: Blanket up and stay here for a while. All just
Speaker 3: fell for.
Speaker 2: You and simple life you like you could break off
Speaker 2: the rules. Love you all the time. You're just a
Speaker 2: little thing sheltered by these walls.
Speaker 3: See his life for gaunt eyes, little ginger parts. It's
Speaker 3: just a little thing. Your heart is.
Speaker 2: Pure and true, bringing love to you all. You mean
Speaker 2: everything you do. I remember the day, all the morning drive,
Speaker 2: seven are in the room and you with us, a guy, how.
Speaker 3: Your wells just came to me and family did rise.
Speaker 2: And home you fell asleep, pouder powder cry. It's just
Speaker 2: a little thing sheltered by these walls.
Speaker 3: Seems like through gold and eyes, a little ginger pards.
Speaker 3: You're just a little thing. Your heart is pure and true.
Speaker 3: Bring in love to you all.
Speaker 2: You mean everything you do. When I get home, it's hello,
Speaker 2: not goodbye. And when I leave tomorrow you'll always try
Speaker 2: and cry. You walk your sister up zooming, she play,
Speaker 2: but you know when she's fed up with all your
Speaker 2: silling games.
Speaker 3: And the world around you know.
Speaker 2: How it makes me want to cry, But you know
Speaker 2: I'll never frown. As you lay by my side, You're
Speaker 2: just a little thing. You sto bout these walls.
Speaker 3: He see his life through gold eyes, Little Ginger Paus,
Speaker 3: You're just a little thing.
Speaker 2: Your heart is pure and true, bringing love to you all.
Speaker 3: You mean and everything you do.
Speaker 2: Bringing love to you all you mean and everything you do.
Speaker 5: Very cool, Thank you.
Speaker 6: What's that called stages of attachment?
Speaker 5: Stages of attachment? Yes, yes, Jenny and I have two
Speaker 5: cats and we love them very much. So I find
Speaker 5: that song very relatable.
Speaker 6: Oh I appreciate that.
Speaker 7: Yeah you don't, do you know Dylan Patrick Ward? Does
Speaker 7: that name sound familiar?
Speaker 5: Sounds familiar.
Speaker 6: It's a local songwriter from Vermont.
Speaker 7: He has a song called the Cat's Song, and when
Speaker 7: I heard it, I was like, oh, you can write
Speaker 7: about your cats.
Speaker 6: That was the inspiration.
Speaker 5: We had a recently, well a couple months ago, we
Speaker 5: had the band Turbo Cats. I played with them.
Speaker 6: Oh okay, yeah, I played with that show at Terminus.
Speaker 7: Oh right, so funny, Oh yeah, yeah, god they cracked
Speaker 7: like in a great way. Yeah awesome, And it was
Speaker 7: just like they were so seriously like this next song
Speaker 7: is called licking your Leg.
Speaker 6: Or something like that. It was brilliant.
Speaker 5: They have that song. My senior lady cat, which because
Speaker 5: we have a female cat that's you know, getting up there,
Speaker 5: so we could relate to that.
Speaker 6: It's really trendy right now to sing about your cat.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I think it's a great thing. Some people
Speaker 5: really don't like cats, and uh yeah, I don't get that.
Speaker 5: I think I think those people have some sort of
Speaker 5: psychological issue. Yet you could not love cats?
Speaker 7: Well, just how can you not love any animal? Right,
Speaker 7: besides a wasp because they hurt?
Speaker 5: Well, it's not an animal, right, that's an insect.
Speaker 6: Is an insect not an animal?
Speaker 5: Or I don't think so. But then but then, uh
Speaker 5: we were talking about.
Speaker 6: This on a on a Friday night on a Cereal
Speaker 6: of Soup.
Speaker 5: I'm a co host on Retrospect Radio with poly C
Speaker 5: and Paul was saying that ants actually technically are animals,
Speaker 5: not insects. And it freaked me out because when I
Speaker 5: was a kid, my friends and I would light ants
Speaker 5: on fire in the summertime with a lighter and uh,
Speaker 5: now I feel terrible about it. I didn't care when
Speaker 5: I thought they were insects.
Speaker 6: You know, they're pre their their pre the size of their.
Speaker 7: Brains alone, for the for who what the size of
Speaker 7: them as an animal is alone like enough to be like, wow,
Speaker 7: these are very impressive creatures.
Speaker 6: Cats are Yeah, pre frontal cortexes are he really?
Speaker 5: Is that true?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 5: See now I feel really bad?
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah yeah. Wow how old are you?
Speaker 5: Oh? I was probably like ten oh yeah times past
Speaker 5: yeah yeah, I mean I would.
Speaker 6: Probably done way worse since then.
Speaker 5: Oh definitely. Oh yeah, you have no idea of course
Speaker 5: if you are just joining us on this Saturday morning,
Speaker 5: Temple Mountain is here with us live in studio. Are
Speaker 5: you playing a lot? You're playing pretty consistently.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I have a show later today, and then this
Speaker 7: month I was playing a lot. September I played probably
Speaker 7: like close to twenty shows. Oh kidding, yeah, next month
Speaker 7: I have probably I think I'm at fifteen right now.
Speaker 7: I'm trying to get more. So yeah, it's gonna taper
Speaker 7: down by the new year, but it's slowly growing back.
Speaker 6: And yeah, I love I have. Two weeks ago, I
Speaker 6: played three three hour shows.
Speaker 7: In one day and wow, that was an incredible accomplishment
Speaker 7: on my end that I was really proud of and
Speaker 7: I always wanted to because Billy Shean of the ban
Speaker 7: Talis said that he once did three shows and one day,
Speaker 7: I was like, I could do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I was. It was a nice kind of
Speaker 6: yeah farces.
Speaker 5: Three three hour shows.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I couldn't sing for a little bit after that one.
Speaker 7: It was had a great time.
Speaker 5: How did that even happen?
Speaker 6: Like how do you my own it's my own stupidity.
Speaker 7: I just keep saying yes, yeah, yes, and then I'll
Speaker 7: be like so that. That was a crazy day too,
Speaker 7: because I had to go my first gig was in
Speaker 7: Where's Beach and then I had to drive to Manchester
Speaker 7: to play at Great North, and then I had to
Speaker 7: go to Foundry and play the Foundry. So and Great
Speaker 7: North was such a shout out to Jesse by the
Speaker 7: way for that gig. Yes, And I'm glad I brought
Speaker 7: that up because I want to apologize to Jesse because
Speaker 7: Jesse asked me to like check if my songs were
Speaker 7: gonna be a part of B M I or something
Speaker 7: like that and just didn't have time.
Speaker 6: He did it for me.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was very nice of him, but like I
Speaker 7: had to change my whole setlist around.
Speaker 6: And it turned out it was a great show, but
Speaker 6: it was it was so funny.
Speaker 7: I was like, so can I I was gonna play
Speaker 7: like Dave Matthews, Like you can't play Dave Matthews.
Speaker 6: That was such a great gig though I had. I
Speaker 6: loved that place.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and the beer was amazing, yes, yes, yeah.
Speaker 5: Jenny and I stopped in there recently because it was
Speaker 5: Jesse's birthday and she's a she's a proud mama. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 5: so yeah, and he you know, he's been on the
Speaker 5: show a bunch of times too. Oh yeah, sounding really good, wicked, talented,
Speaker 5: really good. Absolutely, but that that's not something usually run
Speaker 5: into though, right at a venue where they you know,
Speaker 5: because of the music rights, where that kind of gets something.
Speaker 5: I mean, if you run into that before.
Speaker 7: I did at not when I was playing music. I
Speaker 7: used to be a butcher, and they took the music
Speaker 7: there very seriously because they were worried.
Speaker 6: I get it. Yeah, like it is. It's it's not
Speaker 6: the venue's fault or anything like that.
Speaker 5: It's right.
Speaker 6: The way the music industry works is you gotta be careful.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 6: I kind of like when stuff like that happens, Like
Speaker 6: if you.
Speaker 7: Have like a two hour set or three hour set
Speaker 7: and then all of a sudden you have to remove
Speaker 7: twenty songs and figure it out.
Speaker 6: Like it's kind of fun.
Speaker 5: It's a challenge.
Speaker 6: I love it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that's good. That's good. Good, good attitude to
Speaker 5: have about it, certainly. Yeah. Yeah. I've just over the years,
Speaker 5: I've heard stories of like BMI and ASCAP, like actually
Speaker 5: it's it sounds like you wouldn't think it would really happen,
Speaker 5: but like sending undercover agents, yeah, into places to see.
Speaker 7: If they're I remember when piracy was big, and like
Speaker 7: there was like those stories of kids getting like sued
Speaker 7: because they downloaded the Titanic, and that actually happened.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it sued for lots of money. It's like these
Speaker 6: are kids, oh.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's wild. It's wild. Yeah. And there
Speaker 5: used to be uh years ago, there was a place
Speaker 5: in Conquered called the Cafe Eclipse, and they got into
Speaker 5: some kind of trouble and they.
Speaker 6: Just that's a great name.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, it was a cool place. I played there
Speaker 5: a lot back in the day. But they had to
Speaker 5: make a rule just no covers because they had gotten
Speaker 5: in trouble and they'd been threatened by I don't know
Speaker 5: if it was ASCAP, BMI, or it might have been
Speaker 5: Sea Sack, because I remember the guy telling me, and
Speaker 5: I was like, oh, that's what I'm not familiar with.
Speaker 7: I believe I'm playing a gig in March. It's a
Speaker 7: place that I've been wanting to get. It's hard to
Speaker 7: get the gig. It's like a two year out gig.
Speaker 7: It's called Stage thirty three. It's in Bellow Falls, Vermont. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm pretty sure. That's part of the rules is I
Speaker 7: can't play any covers because they don't have any licensing agreements,
Speaker 7: so it's all gonna be originals. For like, it's like
Speaker 7: a forty minute set of original which is fine, hayahy
Speaker 7: to do that. Yeah, if anything, it's refreshing. Yeah, there's
Speaker 7: not many listening rooms. That's the It's not a fault
Speaker 7: of New Hampshire, but it's the hardest thing in New
Speaker 7: Hampshire is there's not many listening rooms.
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, right, no, I agree. When you when you
Speaker 5: play covers, do you mix in any originals?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Always, yeah, yeah, you gotta and they usually, you know,
Speaker 7: usually people want to hear it too. And my covers vary,
Speaker 7: Like I play John Mayor Dave Matthews Shehr, but I
Speaker 7: also play Britney Spears.
Speaker 6: I play I do. I do.
Speaker 7: Wow, that was almost very uh braggadocios. I do a
Speaker 7: cover of Cake by the Ocean that I really like.
Speaker 7: I just I do things that I want to hear. Yeah,
Speaker 7: I want to listen to you know what I mean?
Speaker 7: And it's yeah, it's just so. Then if you incorporate
Speaker 7: those and I base my set lists on where I
Speaker 7: have to place the capo.
Speaker 6: Oh that makes sense.
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, like if I do all my like second
Speaker 7: fret capo songs together, so it helps with tuning stability and.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I incorporate my originals conclusion.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well i'd imagine too. Some of the covers you do,
Speaker 5: like that Elliott Smith song I didn't recognize. I'm sure.
Speaker 5: I'm sure if you ever had anyone come up to
Speaker 5: you and say, hey, I really like that song and
Speaker 5: they have no idea that it's not an original, does
Speaker 5: that happen?
Speaker 7: The only covers I would say that I do that
Speaker 7: people don't recognize are Elliott Smith and I Have so
Speaker 7: and which sends me. But I do them just I
Speaker 7: do them as like a kind of way of saying
Speaker 7: thank you to Elliott. Yeah, but yeah, usually people like
Speaker 7: people pick up on things like it's crazy. You know,
Speaker 7: you play you, people wonder why, Like somebody will be like,
Speaker 7: I'll never.
Speaker 6: Play Hate Jude because it's such a cliche. But you
Speaker 6: play it at a bar, you're gonna get a reaction
Speaker 6: that's gonna give you such an endorphin rush. That's it's incredible,
Speaker 6: the dopamine high you get from playing Hate You Live.
Speaker 6: I can't I recollect it to everyone. Play Hay Jude.
Speaker 5: Live, no kidding?
Speaker 6: Yeah, and play The Boxer by Paul by something. Oh yeah,
Speaker 6: that's a great one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Are do you have a favorite cover? Is there is
Speaker 5: there one that you especially.
Speaker 6: That like I look forward to? Yeah, I can. I
Speaker 6: play Neon by John Mayer, and that's a bit of
Speaker 6: a flex and that seems to be giving me some attention.
Speaker 7: So I like playing that one. Yea, yeah, yeah, that's
Speaker 7: it's been fun. I also like playing Your Body as
Speaker 7: a Wonderland.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I love that song. Yeah yeah yeah uh. And I
Speaker 6: also love playing I Can't help falling in Love with You. Yeah,
Speaker 6: play Elvis a lot. That's a great song.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 5: I would imagine that goes over pretty well.
Speaker 7: I can I can see how just watch I've seen
Speaker 7: like moms bring their little kids on stage up the
Speaker 7: front to dance.
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, yeah, that's very cool, very cool.
Speaker 5: Have you ever if you ever played any covers that
Speaker 5: you had to ditch because you they weren't going over
Speaker 5: well or.
Speaker 7: That's a good question. Yeah, definitely. I tried doing party
Speaker 7: rock by l MFAO.
Speaker 6: That didn't work. I still do it sometimes, but there's
Speaker 6: a line in.
Speaker 7: It it's like half half black, half white Domino and like,
Speaker 7: once I sung it out loud.
Speaker 3: Was like, oh yeah, I'm as.
Speaker 6: Just white male. So there was that, and then there
Speaker 6: was also.
Speaker 7: There's a song called issues like I Got I Got Issues,
Speaker 7: you got too. I don't know who actually does a song,
Speaker 7: but it just didn't translate well to acoustic. But I'm
Speaker 7: working on a version, you know, the song I Will Survive.
Speaker 7: I'm working on that at the moment. That's like my
Speaker 7: latest thing. I'm really excited. I think I want to
Speaker 7: actually like put it on the album. I always wanted
Speaker 7: to have a song like a cover so on the album.
Speaker 5: Oh okay, so I might do that.
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, spoiler alert, Yeah.
Speaker 5: I know I think that would that would be pretty cool.
Speaker 5: Now the singles that you're releasing, are these all being
Speaker 5: recorded at the same studio or yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Well I'll go in there and we'll spend
Speaker 6: like three hours record like three songs because they're just
Speaker 6: double tracked. They're very simple. It's still I like. What
Speaker 6: I like is it's not it's not low fi, but
Speaker 6: it's like just the next step up. Yeah, and I
Speaker 6: just want.
Speaker 7: To keep polishing it up, you know, keep polishing the
Speaker 7: turd if you will, until it's maybe where people would
Speaker 7: consider it acceptable or something like that.
Speaker 5: Well, I'll look forward to hearing the next one when
Speaker 5: it's ready.
Speaker 6: That's for sure.
Speaker 5: That's for sure. Let's see you want to play one more? Sure? Sure, sure,
Speaker 5: if you're just joining us, We have Temple Mountain here
Speaker 5: with us alive in studio on this Saturday morning. We
Speaker 5: do have a dead by Wednesday in the third hour,
Speaker 5: although they might be a little late. We were talking,
Speaker 5: we were I think it was off air. We were
Speaker 5: talking about how they're coming up from Connecticut, and apparently
Speaker 5: Jenny messaged me and said they had a little bit
Speaker 5: of a delay because of the Hartford Marathon, which I
Speaker 5: didn't know what's happening today, but I can see how
Speaker 5: that would happen.
Speaker 6: Here's a random question. What are your thoughts on do
Speaker 6: you know about New Haven's clam pizza?
Speaker 5: No, but I'm horrified.
Speaker 7: Yeah right, yeah, it's someone from New York. It's just like,
Speaker 7: there's no way that.
Speaker 5: Works clam pizza. I have a rule because you know,
Speaker 5: pizza is my favorite food. And uh oh really and
Speaker 5: and if somebody asked me, you know, Matt, why you
Speaker 5: know you say certain types of pizza are gross and
Speaker 5: other types are good. Here's here's how. This is what
Speaker 5: I tell people. If you want your pizza to be delicious,
Speaker 5: you should only choose delicious toppings. If you choose disgusting toppings,
Speaker 5: your pizza will be disgusting. And that's all you have
Speaker 5: to know.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 7: With that said, you know pizza is hard to find.
Speaker 7: Come around here there's good pizza and there's Sorry New Hampshire,
Speaker 7: there's not. If you're from New York, you're not gonna
Speaker 7: love the pizza.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 6: Have you been Tollis in Peterborough?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 7: No, they're good, really Yeapelli's only getting better too.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: They are very traditional in like New York style slices
Speaker 7: and they still slices by the singles Monday through Friday,
Speaker 7: eleven am to four pm.
Speaker 5: You being from New York, you you, I mean, you
Speaker 5: wouldn't say that if it wasn't true.
Speaker 7: So it's now is it New York Pizza? No, but
