6:29 Speaker 7: Oh okay, wow, okay, so coming right up. Very very cool.

6:34 Speaker 7: said starflight, but it's Starlight, Yeah, Starlight.

6:37 Speaker 5: Yeah.

6:38 Speaker 7: I think I might have said starflight because I'm you know,

6:40 Speaker 7: the lyrics. I'm thinking about a starflight, I guess as

6:44 Speaker 7: as we all are.

6:46 Speaker 8: Yeah, launching. I I've been keeping track of that. I

6:50 Speaker 8: knew that was coming, but I didn't realize the timing

6:53 Speaker 8: of it was so kind of perfect that it's the

6:56 Speaker 8: EP is going to release the.

6:57 Speaker 5: Day that they come back.

6:58 Speaker 7: Oh that's cool.

7:00 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was kind of fun.

7:01 Speaker 7: So that's awesome. That's awesome. So tell us about the

7:04 Speaker 7: inspiration for this for this EP.

7:07 Speaker 5: So the EP's kind of got a funny story.

7:09 Speaker 8: It's the redheaded stepchild of sorts we had. Originally we

7:13 Speaker 8: were working on our last bunch of EPs. Ethereal not

7:16 Speaker 8: in the Ethereal Journey. That's this one dystopian chronicle. Oh yes, yes, right,

7:21 Speaker 8: we had We had originally planned that to be an

7:24 Speaker 8: album with six or seven songs, and then we had

7:28 Speaker 8: actually written Ethereal Journey to be kind of the big

7:31 Speaker 8: third act of that album, and our PR folks that

7:35 Speaker 8: we were working with at the time were like, hey,

7:37 Speaker 8: you really shouldn't do that. You should break this up

7:39 Speaker 8: into multiple, multiple EPs. And then we got to a

7:42 Speaker 8: point where we needed they wanted us to do more

7:45 Speaker 8: singles and you know, individual songs than just release one

7:48 Speaker 8: EP that was one twenty three minute long song, and

7:51 Speaker 8: so we kind of did that, and we just kept

7:55 Speaker 8: putting off Ethereal Journey. We were like, all right, well

7:57 Speaker 8: we'll just do this next is its own thing, and

8:01 Speaker 8: and so that's we just finally got to this point.

8:03 Speaker 8: It was just kind of a coincidence that the song

8:06 Speaker 8: that was gonna go with it ended up being Starlight.

8:09 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, those two songs together were kind of the

8:13 Speaker 8: ones that we really wanted to release. Starlight we needed

8:16 Speaker 8: to release it with something, and the next thing that

8:19 Speaker 8: we knew we wanted to release to his Ethereal Journey.

8:21 Speaker 8: So it was like a let's just do like a

8:24 Speaker 8: space adventure themed EP and and and.

8:27 Speaker 7: Just go from there right right. Something I want people

8:31 Speaker 7: to know, and I'm sure you want them to know

8:32 Speaker 7: this too, is you got to go online and see

8:35 Speaker 7: the video. I love the video for Starlight.

8:37 Speaker 5: Thank you.

8:39 Speaker 7: I'm curious to know more about about that because you know,

8:41 Speaker 7: you guys are in your your your space suits. I

8:44 Speaker 7: guess would be the uniforms. Uh, it's just it's just

8:49 Speaker 7: you know, and you're you're just playing the song, but

8:51 Speaker 7: it's it's it's a lot of fun. I really like

8:53 Speaker 7: the video.

8:54 Speaker 5: Thanks.

8:55 Speaker 8: Yeah. Well, first, real quick, before we jump into all

8:57 Speaker 8: that stuff, I just want to say hi to gen

8:59 Speaker 8: and and say that as much as we've been able to,

9:02 Speaker 8: we've been following kind of your advocacy stuff with the

9:05 Speaker 8: healthcare and all that. You know, it's really inspiring. You're

9:09 Speaker 8: doing a lot of great work and I just hope

9:11 Speaker 8: that you are seeing the results out of it that

9:14 Speaker 8: you want to see out of it. I just wanted

9:16 Speaker 8: to say that up on the top of the conversation.

9:19 Speaker 7: So oh, very nice, doing my best. And and by

9:26 Speaker 7: the way, she is wearing her WARHOWG shirt. We are

9:29 Speaker 7: today as am I we're both wearing our WARHOWG shirts.

9:33 Speaker 9: You are one of my favorites, so you're working quite

9:36 Speaker 9: a bit with me.

9:36 Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you.

9:39 Speaker 5: So so yeah, the video.

9:42 Speaker 8: When we had this song put together, one of the

9:44 Speaker 8: things we knew we wanted to do was do what

9:47 Speaker 8: actual proper music video for YouTube. Like all the stuff

9:51 Speaker 8: we have right now is just kind of stuff we've

9:52 Speaker 8: made for ourselves and it's just live shots and whatever.

9:56 Speaker 8: So we started talking about, like, well, what's it take

9:59 Speaker 8: logistically to to do something at that level, and we

10:05 Speaker 8: decided that we were doing for Starlight because it's kind

10:07 Speaker 8: of that anthemy, it's kind of it's very single perfect

10:12 Speaker 8: with the catchy chorus and all that, and it's under

10:14 Speaker 8: five minutes long, so that's also nice. So we really

10:19 Speaker 8: just kind of settled on this idea of like, well,

10:21 Speaker 8: let's just get Amazon Prime spacesuit costumes and let's just

10:28 Speaker 8: we'll just do it the easiest way we can think of. Eric's,

10:32 Speaker 8: for lack of a better title, ex brother in law

10:37 Speaker 8: is a professional documentary filmmaker and so he signed up

10:41 Speaker 8: to help us with this and he did a great job.

10:43 Speaker 8: I mean, his camera work is really awesome and he

10:47 Speaker 8: had a drone, and he really knew.

10:50 Speaker 5: What he was doing.

10:50 Speaker 8: He had done he's done some music videos before, and

10:52 Speaker 8: we just rented out this place that has this huge

10:56 Speaker 8: led wall, and it was like, all right, well, let's

10:59 Speaker 8: just let's just make it look silly and also make

11:02 Speaker 8: it look serious like they want, you know, like, obviously

11:07 Speaker 8: we're four dudes in just the cheapest NASA knockoff costumes,

11:12 Speaker 8: and like our drummer is wearing a space helmet through

11:15 Speaker 8: the whole thing, which is a whole other story.

11:17 Speaker 7: That's true. You never actually see your drummer. He's got

11:19 Speaker 7: the helmet of the whole time.

11:21 Speaker 8: Yeah, and so we, you know, we were like, it's

11:23 Speaker 8: gonna look ridiculous, So let's just kind of play it

11:27 Speaker 8: serious and ridiculous at the same time, and hopefully it

11:29 Speaker 8: comes across, because like, the last thing I want is

11:32 Speaker 8: people thinking, oh, these guys think they look cool, but

11:35 Speaker 8: they look like a bunch of idiots. Right, No, we

11:38 Speaker 8: we know we look like idiots, but we also know

11:40 Speaker 8: that are we believe ye know that the song is

11:42 Speaker 8: really good, so it kind of shouldn't matter what.

11:44 Speaker 7: We look like, right right, Yeah, all right, so why

11:48 Speaker 7: is the drummer wearing the helmet.

11:50 Speaker 5: So the on this EP we so.

11:53 Speaker 8: Our our drummer, Robert left the band at the end

11:56 Speaker 8: of last year. He left our in our yeah after

11:59 Speaker 8: our final show in in December, and we knew we

12:02 Speaker 8: wanted this to come out. So we were working with

12:05 Speaker 8: another drummer, a friend of ours through another band called

12:08 Speaker 8: the Humanist Project based out of I guess, Houston and

12:11 Speaker 8: somewhat Florida. These guys that Eric knows, their drummer is

12:15 Speaker 8: a dude named Chris Lucci and he is a total monster.

12:20 Speaker 8: And you know, Eric took this opportunity to work with

12:24 Speaker 8: him on the whole So Chris did the drums for

12:26 Speaker 8: the whole EP. Okay, so that's so it's Timmy here

12:30 Speaker 8: on Starlight and Ethereal Journey and then Doctor Doctor. But

12:35 Speaker 8: of course to shoot a video in Dallas, Texas, we

12:37 Speaker 8: needed a human drummer that we could have access to

12:40 Speaker 8: for a day, right, And so so our our original

12:46 Speaker 8: drummer from like when we were all in a like

12:49 Speaker 8: our young adult band, Blake knew we were looking for

12:52 Speaker 8: a drummer and said, hey, I'll help fill out for

12:54 Speaker 8: some gigs if you guys need me. And so we

12:58 Speaker 8: just pulled him in and said we'll just sit behind

12:59 Speaker 8: the can't wear this space helmet. He was He was like,

13:03 Speaker 8: I mean true heroics there, because that's three hours in

13:07 Speaker 8: a room without air conditioning, under lights and fog, and

13:12 Speaker 8: that big led wall was hot. He wore that thing

13:16 Speaker 8: and performed for like three straight hours and it was

13:21 Speaker 8: he handed me that helmet afterwards and it was disgusting. Yeah,

13:26 Speaker 8: but that but Blake has decided to to stay with

13:29 Speaker 8: us full time and be our drummer going forward. So okay,

13:32 Speaker 8: that's that's that is our drummer, Blake. But he wanted

13:36 Speaker 8: he didn't want to he wanted to wear that helmet.

13:39 Speaker 8: That was kind of his idea because he didn't want

13:42 Speaker 8: people to misunderstand that that's not him playing drums. Didn't

13:46 Speaker 8: want to like, you know, steal any of Chris's thunder

13:49 Speaker 8: because Chris did such a great job on the on

13:51 Speaker 8: the track. But Blake is also a total monster.

13:54 Speaker 7: Yeah, and we're really excited to work on some new

13:56 Speaker 7: stuff with them, so oh fantastic.

13:59 Speaker 5: Yeah.

14:00 Speaker 7: So when you play the song in the video, how

14:03 Speaker 7: many how many times do you have to run through it?

14:05 Speaker 7: Like during that because you said it was a three

14:07 Speaker 7: hour shoot.

14:09 Speaker 5: Yeah, we probably did it. I'd say ten eleven, twelve times.

14:12 Speaker 8: Maybe, Yeah, we just we just would play it and

14:15 Speaker 8: then we would reset and just play it again, and

14:17 Speaker 8: reset and play it again.

14:18 Speaker 5: It was it was pretty ridiculous. It was just non stop.

14:21 Speaker 8: Every six seven minutes were play the song over and

14:24 Speaker 8: over again. The best was when there's a couple of

14:27 Speaker 8: slow motion shots in the video that Jonathan's camera would

14:32 Speaker 8: film at forty eight frames per second, so he was

14:35 Speaker 8: able to film us at high speed and then slow

14:38 Speaker 8: us down oh slo mo, which meant we had to

14:41 Speaker 8: mime to the song at two hundred percent speed, which

14:46 Speaker 8: was really hard to do, only because it sounded so ridiculous.

14:49 Speaker 8: And you know, you play things fast in a band,

14:53 Speaker 8: in a metal band, but like to hear a song

14:55 Speaker 8: and like trying to play along with it in mime

14:57 Speaker 8: and then like do the vocals and stuff.

15:00 Speaker 9: It was.

15:00 Speaker 8: It was pretty silly. I'm surprised we've got any good

15:02 Speaker 8: footage at all, but there you go.

15:05 Speaker 5: We saved that one for the end because we knew

15:07 Speaker 5: after that we'd be done. Yeah.

15:08 Speaker 7: Yeah, Like I said, the video came out great. I

15:10 Speaker 7: love the video, Thank you. So I'm curious about the

15:13 Speaker 7: title track. So the title track is twenty three minutes.

15:17 Speaker 7: Is that the longest that's got to be the longest

15:19 Speaker 7: song you guys have done? Right?

15:21 Speaker 10: Oh?

15:21 Speaker 8: Yeah by far?

15:22 Speaker 7: Yeah?

15:23 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was the thing Eric wanted.

15:26 Speaker 8: Eric's always wanted to do a really long, epic, continuous

15:30 Speaker 8: song like that.

15:31 Speaker 7: Yeah.

15:32 Speaker 8: One of our favorite bands growing up is Dream Theater

15:35 Speaker 8: and they they had an EP that came out one

15:37 Speaker 8: time called Change of Seasons and it was like one

15:40 Speaker 8: side A was this one song called Change of Seasons

15:43 Speaker 8: that was I don't know, five or six movements and

15:45 Speaker 8: it was twenty two something minutes long. Yeah, and the

15:48 Speaker 8: rest of it was all live recordings and and he

15:52 Speaker 8: was like, I want to do that someday.

15:53 Speaker 5: And so that idea has stuck with him.

15:55 Speaker 8: As soon as we started Warhog and we started writing slower,

16:00 Speaker 8: longer songs and was like, oh, this song's ten minutes. Oh,

16:03 Speaker 8: this song's also ten minutes. This he immediate was like

16:05 Speaker 8: I'm gonna do ethereal Journey and I was like, all right,

16:08 Speaker 8: you like go nuts?

16:10 Speaker 5: He did.

16:10 Speaker 8: He showed up with it one day, yeah, and uh so, yeah,

16:13 Speaker 8: that's just it. It was just his little challenge to

16:16 Speaker 8: himself to write something that long and continuous, and then

16:20 Speaker 8: for us to all kind of start learning it and

16:23 Speaker 8: recording it, and.

16:24 Speaker 5: It was a it's been it's been fun.

16:26 Speaker 8: I'm glad that we finished it so that other people

16:28 Speaker 8: can listen to it, because we've been enjoying it for

16:32 Speaker 8: I probably a year or so now, sure, and knowing

16:35 Speaker 8: how kind of ridiculous it is, but.

16:37 Speaker 7: Well but interestingly. So, you know, when I listened to it,

16:41 Speaker 7: it doesn't seem like at the end of it, it

16:44 Speaker 7: doesn't seem like twenty three minutes has gone by, which

16:47 Speaker 7: and I mean that in the best possible way. Yeah,

16:50 Speaker 7: it's it's like like there's a band. There's a band

16:53 Speaker 7: in our area called Able Blood, and they have a

16:55 Speaker 7: song called mental Note that's eleven minutes. But I remember

16:58 Speaker 7: telling those guys, you get to the end of it,

17:00 Speaker 7: you don't feel like it was eleven minutes. Somehow it

17:03 Speaker 7: seems like half that. And I get the same feeling

17:06 Speaker 7: listening to Ethereal Journey. Yeah, it's long, but at the

17:09 Speaker 7: end of it, I don't feel like it's been twenty

17:11 Speaker 7: three minutes. It keeps me engaged when I listen to it,

17:15 Speaker 7: so I you know, I think that's your credit. I

17:17 Speaker 7: think it came out great. I really like it a lot,

17:20 Speaker 7: and I encourage people to listen to it and invest

17:23 Speaker 7: invest the time to listen to it because it's really good,

17:26 Speaker 7: really good.

17:26 Speaker 5: Thanks, thank you. Yeah, now'll he will love to hear that.

17:30 Speaker 7: I agree.

17:31 Speaker 8: It's it's fun to go back, even for me to

17:33 Speaker 8: listen to because I I still you know, like obviously

17:37 Speaker 8: I recorded singing it, but I don't know that I

17:39 Speaker 8: know the lyrics all the way through, Like I don't

17:40 Speaker 8: know that I've got to memorize because I've always had

17:43 Speaker 8: the sheet in front of me because it is like

17:45 Speaker 8: nine verses or something music, right, you know, to where

17:49 Speaker 8: I'm just trying to figure out what I'm what comes next?

17:52 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, it's this part, you know, And so I'm

17:55 Speaker 8: always kind of even when I listen to it, I

17:57 Speaker 8: get taken on that little adventure myself. Yeah, oh yeah,

17:59 Speaker 8: this is this is the part where the drums kick in, right,

18:04 Speaker 8: So it's fun. It's a fun little tune because that's

18:07 Speaker 8: what only knows if we'll work it up live and

18:09 Speaker 8: play it.

18:09 Speaker 7: I was curious about that. Yeah, that was gonna be

18:11 Speaker 7: my next question. Actually, do you have plans to play

18:13 Speaker 7: that live, but.

18:14 Speaker 5: We've talked about what it would look like. I mean,

18:16 Speaker 5: the reality is.

18:17 Speaker 8: It would take up so much of our set to

18:20 Speaker 8: do just the one thing we've talked about doing, like

18:22 Speaker 8: let's pick the ten minutes that would be the best

18:25 Speaker 8: to do and kind of like hit all the spots.

18:28 Speaker 8: So we'll maybe start looking at that this summer. But yeah,

18:32 Speaker 8: I honestly, I honestly don't know if well we'll do that.

18:35 Speaker 8: It might just be something fun that we recorded, and

18:38 Speaker 8: you know, you just got to imagine what it would

18:40 Speaker 8: sound like live.

18:41 Speaker 7: And the story that you're telling in that song, it's

18:44 Speaker 7: kind of I mean, that's the main crux of the story,

18:46 Speaker 7: right like Starlight's kind of the the introduction. You know,

18:50 Speaker 7: here we are, we're going to space and then and

18:53 Speaker 7: then Ethereal Journey is the story.

18:55 Speaker 8: Right Well, yeah, they're not really related, they're just they're

18:59 Speaker 8: just con winceiate deadally themed. Okay, Similarly, right like Starlight

19:04 Speaker 8: was a thing that I mean in my head, Eric

19:08 Speaker 8: had already written Ethereal Journey.

19:10 Speaker 7: I knew what it was.

19:11 Speaker 8: I'd been you know, I had recorded demos of it

19:14 Speaker 8: for us to work through. Oh okay, you know, probably

19:19 Speaker 8: back in twenty twenty three. Okay, right, so by the

19:22 Speaker 8: time I'm writing Starlight two years later, I'm not thinking, oh,

19:25 Speaker 8: these two songs are all related, oh, because there was

19:28 Speaker 8: so much time between them.

19:29 Speaker 7: Oh interesting, Okay, yeah, because.

19:32 Speaker 8: Because I remember the plan was to release it as

19:35 Speaker 8: the follow up from our first album, right, so like

19:37 Speaker 8: we've we've just been waiting to get this one out

19:40 Speaker 8: the door. Yeah, it just so happened that the timing

19:43 Speaker 8: was like, oh, what are the two songs ethereal Journey

19:46 Speaker 8: and Starlight? Of course they would be right, right, No,

19:49 Speaker 8: that makes sense. Yeah, so yes, Starlight's different. It's just

19:53 Speaker 8: it's it's kind of my you know, let's send a

19:55 Speaker 8: bunch of dudes up into space and send them on

19:58 Speaker 8: a ure where Eric's is more like it's, you know,

20:02 Speaker 8: apocalyptic future we've got to send It's kind of it's

20:07 Speaker 8: kind of almost Hail Mary ish in a way. Of course,

20:09 Speaker 8: I know that that had nothing to do with it,

20:10 Speaker 8: because he had not read that book and that movie

20:13 Speaker 8: was like years from being made, sure, but it's like,

20:17 Speaker 8: you know, the planet is super dying and we get

20:20 Speaker 8: a strange message and he, you know, the the lone

20:24 Speaker 8: Traveler gets sent off to go find out what the

20:27 Speaker 8: message is, and it's not necessarily help.

20:30 Speaker 5: It's someone.

20:31 Speaker 8: It's someone or something that transforms this guy into a god,

20:37 Speaker 8: basically gives him all this cosmic power, and then instead

20:39 Speaker 8: of coming back to help the earth, he's going to

20:41 Speaker 8: come back and conquer it, you know, right. It's just

20:44 Speaker 8: kind of a weird you know, that's that's kind of

20:47 Speaker 8: the story of Ethereal Journey.

20:49 Speaker 7: Yeah. Yeah, and then so and then you you close

20:52 Speaker 7: it with You've got the cover of Doctor Doctor by UFO,

20:57 Speaker 7: which and by the way, you know, some people are

20:59 Speaker 7: going to listen to it and not realize it's a cover,

21:03 Speaker 7: you know, some people obviously. I'm sure you have fans

21:05 Speaker 7: who may maybe have even told you, Oh, I didn't

21:07 Speaker 7: realize that first of that was a cover, because not

21:09 Speaker 7: everyone knows UFO obviously. But I really like that too,

21:14 Speaker 7: and I'm really I'm curious why you chose that song.

21:18 Speaker 7: And uh yeah, I mean I guess, I mean the

21:21 Speaker 7: name of the band it's taken from obviously fits the Uh.

21:23 Speaker 5: Yeah, I didn't even think about that.

21:25 Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, yeah, yeah, of course that is I've

21:30 Speaker 8: I literally had not put that together until you just

21:33 Speaker 8: said it.

21:33 Speaker 5: That's hilarious.

21:34 Speaker 7: Oh, that's funny.

21:35 Speaker 5: How could I even miss that? My god?

21:38 Speaker 8: I wish you could see me like I'm doing the

21:40 Speaker 8: whole like Captain Picard face palming thing, like what am I?

21:46 Speaker 3: So?

21:46 Speaker 5: I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan. I always have been

21:49 Speaker 5: me too.

21:50 Speaker 7: Yep.

21:50 Speaker 8: And and and if you've ever seen them in concert,

21:54 Speaker 8: they're kind of you know, between bands.

21:57 Speaker 5: They always play house.

21:58 Speaker 8: Music, yes, but Iron Maidens like, all right, guys, everybody

22:03 Speaker 8: walked to the stage. Music is a live track of

22:06 Speaker 8: Doctor Doctor by UFO from the Strangers in the Night

22:09 Speaker 8: Oh live record.

22:11 Speaker 5: And they've been doing that for decades.

22:13 Speaker 8: Every time I've seen Iron Maiden since the nineties, they've

22:17 Speaker 8: come out to Doctor Doctor.

22:19 Speaker 7: Okay, and Eric and I went.

22:21 Speaker 8: And saw them a few years ago. We just happened

22:24 Speaker 8: to be at the same concert together, standing on the

22:26 Speaker 8: floor next to each other, and Doctor Doctor comes on,

22:29 Speaker 8: and I don't I don't know that he ever witnessed that,

22:32 Speaker 8: but like, the crowd goes nuts. It's like it's that

22:36 Speaker 8: first step into an Iron Maiden concert, which for so

22:39 Speaker 8: many of us is basically like going to church. You know,

22:41 Speaker 8: It's like here we go, right and the crowd gets

22:45 Speaker 8: real amped up and we're all.

22:46 Speaker 1: Singing doctor, Doctor Please, and he's like the.

22:50 Speaker 8: Song rocks and I was like, yeah, it does, and

22:52 Speaker 8: I knew it. I like, I've recorded demos of it

22:55 Speaker 8: myself just for fun, and I was like, we should,

22:58 Speaker 8: we should do this, and he was like absolutely. Which

23:01 Speaker 8: Eric is not one usually for covers, because I think

23:05 Speaker 8: a lot of times when you cover someone's music, it

23:07 Speaker 8: comes with a lot of expectation, right, like what bands

23:12 Speaker 8: do you really love and what bands are you trying

23:13 Speaker 8: to sound like? And can you pull it off? And

23:16 Speaker 8: and a lot of times it's best left I think avoided, right.

23:21 Speaker 8: But Eric was kind of like really keen on this

23:23 Speaker 8: idea of mine, which also he's usually not keen on

23:26 Speaker 8: my ideas anyway. So I worked on a I just

23:31 Speaker 8: worked this this version up, and uh, you know, we

23:34 Speaker 8: kind of went with it. And then when we had

23:36 Speaker 8: the EP and we were like, all right, well, we've

23:38 Speaker 8: got Starlight, we've got Ethereal Journey, we need something else

23:42 Speaker 8: to kind of round it out. And we really didn't

23:45 Speaker 8: have anything unreleased that we were waiting to release that

23:50 Speaker 8: isn't part of our next album, and so we just

23:53 Speaker 8: kind of were like, well, what's could we should we

23:54 Speaker 8: do Doctor Doctor? And was like, yeah, that would be

23:57 Speaker 8: fun because then it's like a it's a cover that

24:00 Speaker 8: we could probably release and that'll be fun and people

24:04 Speaker 8: that might listen to the original might find our cover

24:06 Speaker 8: and then find us and be like, oh these guys

24:08 Speaker 8: are you know, kind of they're they're heavy metal, they're

24:11 Speaker 8: doing something interesting, and just give us one extra thing

24:15 Speaker 8: that maybe could end up on the radio somewhere. There's

24:18 Speaker 8: a there's a guy in Dallas, Chaz he Chas Knight.

24:22 Speaker 8: He does a local show and one of his kind

24:25 Speaker 8: of recurring things is he'll do a show he hasn't

24:29 Speaker 8: maybe done it a while or I have not caught it,

24:30 Speaker 8: but he does like rock he calls it rock star

24:32 Speaker 8: karaoke okay, and the whole the whole program of that

24:35 Speaker 8: hour long show is covers by other bands. So he'll

24:40 Speaker 8: do like Pantera's cover of what is it Planet Caravan?

24:46 Speaker 8: Or like the Faith No More War Pigs, right, So

24:48 Speaker 8: like and I was like, oh, this would be a

24:50 Speaker 8: good way to get on that. We could be like

24:52 Speaker 8: a local band. One be a local band, but two

24:55 Speaker 8: having a cover that's kind of radio worthy. So you know,

25:00 Speaker 8: it was like, well, let's just throw Doctor Doctor together

25:02 Speaker 8: and put that out there with it, and it turned

25:04 Speaker 8: out to we had fun doing it, and yeah, I

25:07 Speaker 8: think it turned out pretty well. And like you mentioned that,

25:10 Speaker 8: I still can't believe that completely my mind.

25:13 Speaker 5: UFO. Uh And that's so funny. You think I'm kidding

25:16 Speaker 5: about that.

25:17 Speaker 8: But if you look anywhere that we've talked about the EP,

25:20 Speaker 8: that's not mentioned because I had not put that together somehow.

25:26 Speaker 8: I was just I'm so focused on it being like

25:28 Speaker 8: a cover and like, I hope this goes over well.

25:30 Speaker 8: I hope people, you know, like, oh, why Doctor Doctor,

25:34 Speaker 8: why are you guys doing the cover the UFO.

25:37 Speaker 5: But I never I really never put that together. I

25:40 Speaker 5: can't believe it.

25:40 Speaker 7: That's awesome. That's funny. So did did the song get

25:44 Speaker 7: on that show?

25:46 Speaker 5: We haven't released it yet. You're the you're if you're

25:48 Speaker 5: gonna play it, you're the first person to do it.

25:50 Speaker 7: Oh nice, nice, I am gonna. I am going to

25:52 Speaker 7: play it at the end of our conversation. So very good,

25:56 Speaker 7: very good. It'll be the world radio premiere of that track.

25:58 Speaker 7: I love it. We love those now and when you

26:04 Speaker 7: when you do a cover like that, is that. Did

26:06 Speaker 7: you say that's the first time you've done a cover

26:08 Speaker 7: in Warhawk.

26:10 Speaker 8: Yeah, like an official cover of someone else's stuff. I

26:13 Speaker 8: mean we've we've early early days, we played like a

26:16 Speaker 8: Black Sabbath song at a at a gig one night

26:18 Speaker 8: because we needed something to fill the space. Yeah, you know,

26:21 Speaker 8: like we only had ten minute long songs. We needed

26:24 Speaker 8: something that was only five minutes. You know, it's like, Okay,

26:26 Speaker 8: let's just play this.

26:28 Speaker 5: So so when you yeah, we don't really do covers, So.

26:30 Speaker 7: When you do, when you record a Doctor, Doctor, were

26:33 Speaker 7: you i mean, did you feel like you wanted to

26:36 Speaker 7: keep it close to the original or were you more

26:38 Speaker 7: concerned with kind of putting your own stamp on it

26:40 Speaker 7: or what was your approach there.

26:43 Speaker 5: I'd say about fifty to fifty.

26:44 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I don't.

26:45 Speaker 8: I don't love covers that very wildly from their original,

26:50 Speaker 8: with the exception of like all Along the watch Tower.

26:53 Speaker 8: I think is like when you try to reinvent a song,

26:56 Speaker 8: that's the gold standard, and we definitely weren't going to

26:58 Speaker 8: try and do that.

26:59 Speaker 7: Yeah.

26:59 Speaker 8: Yeah, but I also didn't I didn't want to make

27:02 Speaker 8: it a joke. I didn't want to I didn't want

27:04 Speaker 8: to force it into something that it wasn't. So I

27:07 Speaker 8: think I just maybe slowed it down just a hair

27:11 Speaker 8: and I took some of the guitar noodling away, Like

27:15 Speaker 8: the intro's got this really great shanker kind of improv

27:19 Speaker 8: solo that every time I've listened to it live, it's

27:21 Speaker 8: it's a little bit different. It's got a little bit

27:24 Speaker 8: of a different flavor. And then I can't really do

27:27 Speaker 8: that as one guitar player, right, So, you know, we

27:30 Speaker 8: did the harmonies and I kind of did it well,

27:32 Speaker 8: if Eric and I were going to do this live,

27:33 Speaker 8: what would it sound like. So I worked out the

27:35 Speaker 8: two parts and then we kind of just all right, okay,

27:37 Speaker 8: So it's got the chug in the background, it's got

27:39 Speaker 8: some different rhythms going on, you know, held out chords

27:43 Speaker 8: and some other stuff that I like to do. So

27:46 Speaker 8: I kind of made it ours without without really taking

27:50 Speaker 8: it too far from.

27:51 Speaker 5: I think what the original version is, which is just

27:54 Speaker 5: kind of like a heavy.

27:55 Speaker 7: Yeah U, which is what we love so right right,

28:00 Speaker 7: absolutely absolutely, So the ep Ethereal Journey comes out April tenth,

28:04 Speaker 7: and then it's going to be on all the streaming platforms.

28:06 Speaker 7: I assume that's correct. Excellent, excellent, and then are you

28:10 Speaker 7: playing these out live already or yeah.

28:13 Speaker 5: We had a show in.

28:15 Speaker 8: March in Houston, Okay, our first kind of show with Blake,

28:19 Speaker 8: our new guy who's along with us. We've got four

28:22 Speaker 8: shows that we're doing. I dare to call it a tour.

28:25 Speaker 8: It's really more like an extended weekend. But we're doing

28:28 Speaker 8: four nights in four states back to back here in

28:32 Speaker 8: a week or in a week and a half. We're

28:34 Speaker 8: doing Joplin, Missouri. That we're doing Louisville, Kentucky, Fort Wayne, Indiana,

28:39 Speaker 8: and Nashville, Franklin, Tennessee. Kind a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

28:44 Speaker 8: We're gonna go play with some friends of ours called

28:46 Speaker 8: Salem's Child. They're based out of Fort Wayne, kind of Cocomo, Indiana.

28:50 Speaker 7: Okay.

28:51 Speaker 8: We're playing with well, a bunch of great bands just

28:53 Speaker 8: kind of all along the the trip, and that'll be

28:57 Speaker 8: kind of our ethereal journey, right and we're gonna you know,

29:01 Speaker 8: Starlight is the big one from that. Yeah, and uh

29:04 Speaker 8: so we're excited to play a bunch and get it

29:06 Speaker 8: out there. And it'll be nice that we have an

29:08 Speaker 8: EP that'll be out, the video will have been out,

29:10 Speaker 8: so hopefully people will have checked all of that stuff

29:14 Speaker 8: out and kind of know what they're getting into. We're

29:16 Speaker 8: not bringing the space suits or anything.

29:18 Speaker 7: I was about.

29:19 Speaker 8: I was about to ask you that, Yeah, it'll just

29:23 Speaker 8: be us in our you know, in our regular stage gear.

29:26 Speaker 8: But yeah, you know, we've got them, so who knows

29:30 Speaker 8: what will happen to them, right right?

29:32 Speaker 5: They might end up in the mix at some point.

29:34 Speaker 7: See and then uh, and then so what's what's next

29:37 Speaker 7: for you guys after this? Because you're always working on music.

29:40 Speaker 8: We are, we are, We've got We've got a couple

29:42 Speaker 8: of things, I you know, with Blake coming in, we

29:46 Speaker 8: want to give him an opportunity to kind of work

29:49 Speaker 8: himself into the band. So there's some smaller projects that

29:52 Speaker 8: I think we're gonna try and get out this year.

29:53 Speaker 5: One of them is, Uh, I've.

29:56 Speaker 8: Been teasing it on on YouTube if anybody has been

29:59 Speaker 8: paying attention, But I've been working on an EP celebrating

30:02 Speaker 8: the fortieth anniversary of Transformers, the movie Oh No Kidding,

30:06 Speaker 8: that we're going to release as Warhog. And it's because

30:09 Speaker 8: that soundtrack had a bunch of like really great kind

30:12 Speaker 8: of eighties rock tunes, including the Transformers theme. So I've

30:17 Speaker 8: I've been doing them and putting them on YouTube, and

30:21 Speaker 8: we're going to get Blake in the studio and he's

30:23 Speaker 8: going to do the drums on him, and Eric's going

30:26 Speaker 8: to mix and master them, and we're going to release

30:29 Speaker 8: those as just a fun EP, I think at the

30:31 Speaker 8: end of the summer, and then we've got we're gonna

30:34 Speaker 8: try and get in and do it live studio recording

30:36 Speaker 8: with Blake and just knock out a couple of the

30:39 Speaker 8: songs that we're playing on this little tour, and then

30:43 Speaker 8: because we're going to do a full album at the

30:45 Speaker 8: end of the year, start working on this thing called

30:47 Speaker 8: The Collector that we've been we've been developing in the background,

30:54 Speaker 8: and hopefully it'll come out early twenty twenty seven. The

30:59 Speaker 8: nine songs all kind of intentionally five minutes or less,

31:04 Speaker 8: very kind of straight up traditional metal, half concept.

31:10 Speaker 5: Album, but it's it's gonna be fun.

31:12 Speaker 8: We're some of the songs were really really excited about,

31:14 Speaker 8: and but it's gonna be kind of, I think our

31:18 Speaker 8: big eggs in a basket moment where we're gonna put

31:22 Speaker 8: all of our effort into this thing. We're gonna get

31:24 Speaker 8: it sounding perfect and then we're gonna hopefully start shopping

31:26 Speaker 8: it around to labels and see if we can do

31:28 Speaker 8: something with it.

31:29 Speaker 5: I think it's gonna be Maybe we're hoping.

31:31 Speaker 8: That it'll be the thing that starts to really push

31:34 Speaker 8: us forward in a lot of ways.

38:28 Speaker 7: Such a great band. We've had a lot of great

38:30 Speaker 7: bands from Texas on the show, but actually Warhog is

38:32 Speaker 7: absolutely one of our favorites. So oh yeah, yeah, definitely,

38:36 Speaker 7: and thank you again to Scott Beatley of Warhog for

38:38 Speaker 7: joining us on the show today. So quick. Music news

38:43 Speaker 7: billboard dot com has this article up Here are Latin

38:47 Speaker 7: music's biggest lawsuits and legal cases, including Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee,

38:54 Speaker 7: and more. I remember Daddy Yankee, and of course we

38:56 Speaker 7: all know Bad Bunny. It says here Latin music stars

38:59 Speaker 7: are facing big legal battles, including a massive reggae tone case,

39:04 Speaker 7: a nasty divorce turned rico suit, and a looming fight

39:07 Speaker 7: over a leaked sex tape. Oh my goodness, Well, so

39:11 Speaker 7: much going on in the world of Latin music. For

39:14 Speaker 7: some reason, that seems to be the most litigious genre

39:18 Speaker 7: at the moment, which is why we're talking about it.

39:21 Speaker 7: There's always like hip hop always has a lot of lawsuits,

39:23 Speaker 7: and you know, and there's always there's always lawsuits in

39:26 Speaker 7: every genre of music. But right now Latin music seems

39:29 Speaker 7: to be where a lot of attorneys are able to

39:31 Speaker 7: charge legal fees. It says here Latin music is as

39:35 Speaker 7: popular as ever, which is true. As a genre, it's

39:38 Speaker 7: really exploded. So it makes sense that stars like Bad

39:41 Speaker 7: Bunny are embroiled in a growing number of major legal

39:45 Speaker 7: battles in US courts. As the old music lawyer adage goes,

39:49 Speaker 7: where there's a hit, there's a writ. In other words,

39:53 Speaker 7: where there's where there's hit songs, there's money to be

39:56 Speaker 7: made and someone to sue very often. The genre has

40:01 Speaker 7: boomed in recent years, becoming the fastest growing core music

40:06 Speaker 7: genre in the US and hitting a record breaking one

40:10 Speaker 7: point four billion in revenue in twenty twenty four, making

40:15 Speaker 7: the genre's third consecutive year passing one billion dollars. The

40:23 Speaker 7: Recording Industry Association of America's Matt Bass said in an

40:27 Speaker 7: October report, quote, Latin music is in the US continues

40:32 Speaker 7: to gain popularity and generate generate increased value thanks to

40:40 Speaker 7: the incredible artists whose music connects across language and geographical

40:46 Speaker 7: barriers unquote. All that explosive growth again, this is from Billboard.

40:51 Speaker 7: All that explosive, explosive growth has been fueled not only

40:55 Speaker 7: by the global superstardom of Bad Bunny, who played this

40:59 Speaker 7: year's Super Bowl and cleaned up at the Grammy Awards,

41:02 Speaker 7: but also by the rise of artists like Colombian star

41:05 Speaker 7: Carol G or Carol. It might be Corol. I'm not

41:10 Speaker 7: sure k A r O L. It looks like Carol,

41:12 Speaker 7: but it might probably not. Carol doesn't sound like a

41:16 Speaker 7: particularly Latin sounding name, does it Carol? It's probably Corol G.

41:22 Speaker 7: And regional Mexican powerhouses and I'm sure I'm going to

41:25 Speaker 7: butcher these apologize in advance. Fuere's a regeda and or

41:30 Speaker 7: regeta and pezo pluma or peso pluma. But with great

41:36 Speaker 7: success comes great disputes. Reggaetne stars like Bad Bunny himself

41:41 Speaker 7: or facing unprecedented litigation over how key elements of their

41:46 Speaker 7: music are covered by copyright laws. This is where it

41:50 Speaker 7: gets interesting and something we talk about all the time

41:52 Speaker 7: on the show. This always comes up copyright infringement, copyright laws,

41:56 Speaker 7: intellectual property, all of it. Especially with the rise of

42:00 Speaker 7: other big names like Dell Records founder Angel DVR, are

42:07 Speaker 7: fighting criminal charges that could put them behind bars for years. Still,

42:11 Speaker 7: others like Daddy Yankee are using the courts to bring

42:14 Speaker 7: their own stunning allegations against others. To get you up

42:18 Speaker 7: to speed, here here's Billboard's quick guide to Latin music's

42:22 Speaker 7: major lawsuits, criminal cases, and legal battles. We break down

42:27 Speaker 7: five major cases and everything you need to know about them,

42:31 Speaker 7: followed by five more key legal disputes to watch in

42:34 Speaker 7: the months ahead. So I don't know that we'll get

42:36 Speaker 7: through all these. We'll try to speed through these because

42:38 Speaker 7: there's a lot here. Okay, So Reggaetnes jaw dropping copyright case,

42:44 Speaker 7: this is the first one. There is no bigger Latin

42:47 Speaker 7: music legal battle than the sprawling copyright lawsuit over the

42:51 Speaker 7: origins of Reggaetnes dembo rhythm. The boom of boom boom chick,

43:00 Speaker 7: boom a boom chick used in nearly Oh yeah, it

43:03 Speaker 7: used in nearly every song in the genre. Yeah, you

43:06 Speaker 7: know exactly what I'm even though I know exactly even

43:08 Speaker 7: though I'm butchered it. We all know exactly what that

43:11 Speaker 7: is because we all hear it. You know, if you're

43:13 Speaker 7: in Manchester on a summer day, when everyone's got their

43:16 Speaker 7: windows down in their cars, you'll certainly hear that coming

43:18 Speaker 7: out of many many cars. We hear it in our

43:21 Speaker 7: neighborhood quite a bit. That if you don't know what

43:24 Speaker 7: that is, let me see if I can do it again,

43:27 Speaker 7: but not do it so clumsily. The boom che boom

43:31 Speaker 7: chick boom che boom chick use And I wish I

43:34 Speaker 7: knew how to beatbox. I could replicate that perfectly, But

43:38 Speaker 7: you all know what that is. The case claims that

43:41 Speaker 7: crucial Now this is interesting. I've wondered about this. So

43:45 Speaker 7: the case here claims that that crucial element was essentially

43:49 Speaker 7: stolen from a single nineteen eighty nine song, and that

43:54 Speaker 7: it's time for the music business to pay up. So

43:57 Speaker 7: that beat, that rhythm that you hear in all those

44:00 Speaker 7: reggaetne songs that hear coming out of everybody's cars in

44:03 Speaker 7: the summertime, Uh.

44:05 Speaker 9: That's really that young. I thought it was older than.

44:07 Speaker 7: Somebody has traced that back to a single from nineteen

44:10 Speaker 7: eighty nine and says, pay me. The scale of the

44:14 Speaker 7: case is staggering. It targets bad Bunny Corol, I still

44:18 Speaker 7: not to say. I'm gonna say Corol, g Daddy Yankee

44:20 Speaker 7: and more than one hundred and fifty other artists as defendants,

44:25 Speaker 7: plus units of all three major music companies, claiming that

44:30 Speaker 7: nearly two thousand of their songs were illegal. If successful,

44:34 Speaker 7: it would mean that almost all reggaetone artists would need

44:39 Speaker 7: to pay licensing fees to use a core aspect of

44:44 Speaker 7: the genre. I don't think this lawsuit's going to be

44:47 Speaker 7: successful to you, No, especially I think it's that young,

44:52 Speaker 7: especially since now there will be dispute over this detail.

44:57 Speaker 7: By the way, we're definitely not going to get through

44:58 Speaker 7: all these, but this one's fast nat to me. We

45:00 Speaker 7: might just stay on this one for a while. Gene

45:04 Speaker 7: Simmons was saying it was in you know, when he

45:08 Speaker 7: the little controversy it blew over fairly quickly about who

45:12 Speaker 7: wrote the song Beth and he was saying didn't really

45:14 Speaker 7: write it. And Jane was making some rather ignorant comments

45:17 Speaker 7: about Peter's not a real musician because he's a drummer,

45:19 Speaker 7: so he's not technically a musician because you can't. You

45:22 Speaker 7: can't copyright. You can't trademark a beat like you can

45:25 Speaker 7: a melody or something, which actually is definitely not true.

45:28 Speaker 7: He's wrong about that. I'm sure there are very specific,

45:34 Speaker 7: very specific beats that have been copy copyright Well, that's

45:40 Speaker 7: you're talking about a bassline. But but I'm sure I

45:42 Speaker 7: can't think of a really good.

45:44 Speaker 9: A baseline and a drum No. But but how can

45:49 Speaker 9: you call a drummer not a musician.

45:52 Speaker 7: The same, right? His comment was very very ignorant, and

45:55 Speaker 7: he does know better. But but but I'm sure, I'm

46:00 Speaker 7: sure it's happened. I'm sure there have been specific beats

46:02 Speaker 7: have been copyrighted. But to but to I mean, how's

46:05 Speaker 7: this gonna going? How are you gonna You're gonna sue all?

46:07 Speaker 7: You're gonna basically sue an entire genre over over a

46:12 Speaker 7: beat that is very common a money grape, So it

46:17 Speaker 7: says here. As experts previously told Billboard, the case could

46:21 Speaker 7: have a disruptive effect on reggaetne yeah no kidding, a

46:25 Speaker 7: booming genre that's risen alongside Bad Bunny, from the clubs

46:29 Speaker 7: of Puerto Rico to the very top of the global

46:31 Speaker 7: music business. This case is jaw dropping, said Jennifer Jenkins,

46:35 Speaker 7: a Duke University law professor. Quote. If they win, this

46:39 Speaker 7: would confer a monopoly over an entire genre unquote. A

46:44 Speaker 7: judge refused to dismiss the case in twenty twenty four

46:47 Speaker 7: in following a key hearing in December. It's now primed

46:51 Speaker 7: for a major ruling on crucial questions, which will determine

46:55 Speaker 7: whether the lawsuit is dismissed or can move ahead to

46:58 Speaker 7: a jury trial. Stay tuned. I predict it's dismissed.

47:01 Speaker 9: I hope though, because that would be quite a bit

47:03 Speaker 9: of waste of money, waste of time.

47:05 Speaker 7: Yes, we'll try too, Oh yeah, we'll try to get

47:08 Speaker 7: a couple more of these and Daddy Yankees Bombshell divorce battle.

47:11 Speaker 7: I don't even remember what Daddy Yankee's big hit was.

47:14 Speaker 7: I mean, we're like the Nankees. No, no, damn no,

47:17 Speaker 7: this is Damn Yankees is not a Latin band.

47:20 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, sorry, no, Daddy Yankee, Daddy Yankees.

47:23 Speaker 7: I don't remember what the big hit was.

47:25 Speaker 9: I remember, I can't hear anything out of my riding.

47:27 Speaker 11: I know.

47:27 Speaker 7: In December twenty twenty four, Daddy Yankee again, this is

47:30 Speaker 7: from Billboard, filed for divorce from his wife of thirty years.

47:33 Speaker 7: The two have been duking it out in court ever since,

47:36 Speaker 7: not just over the marriage dissolution, but the bombshell accusations

47:40 Speaker 7: of stolen money, defamation, and racketeering. A few weeks after

47:45 Speaker 7: the divorce started, Yankee sought an injunction over accusations that

47:50 Speaker 7: and I'm gonna I'm gonna butcher this Meridies Gonzales had

47:54 Speaker 7: withdrawn tens of millions from his l cartel records his

47:59 Speaker 7: record com Then in March twenty twenty five, he foiled

48:02 Speaker 7: the lawsuit, claiming he discovered mismanagement and a defamatory campaign

48:07 Speaker 7: by Gonzalez. Though that case later settled. Daddy Yankee went

48:11 Speaker 7: nuclear in December, filing a rico lawsuit against Gonzalez and

48:15 Speaker 7: his former manager Rafie Pina or Pena, of scheming to

48:21 Speaker 7: steal songwriting royalties during a nearly decade long racketing conspiracy

48:26 Speaker 7: in which they quote systematically inappropriate misappropriated publishing income unquote.

48:33 Speaker 7: Her lawyer denied the accusations at the time, telling Billboard

48:36 Speaker 7: they were a fabrication created by Daddy Yankee to gain

48:40 Speaker 7: a tactical advantage in their divorce proceedings, but the case

48:43 Speaker 7: remains pending. Okay, this one we're gonna skip. I'm gonna

48:48 Speaker 7: we have limited time. We're gonna get one more in,

48:51 Speaker 7: but I'm gonna find I want to find one that

48:54 Speaker 7: looks like it's quick and the sex stape one will

48:57 Speaker 7: skip because it's a Saturday month. Yeah, all right, let's

49:03 Speaker 7: do this other Bad Bunny one quickly.

49:06 Speaker 9: Yes, I was gonna remention Mosaic.

49:10 Speaker 7: Yeah, let's do that. I'll tell you what. We'll share

49:14 Speaker 7: the link out to this article on social media because

52:57 Speaker 9: I can't have the sugaries anymore. I don't even want

52:59 Speaker 9: to pick about it.

53:00 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, uh not a not a big deal in

53:02 Speaker 7: our household, certainly. But but if you celebrate.

53:06 Speaker 9: Up discussing current or past wrestling events.

53:11 Speaker 7: So the main event on Tough Bumps, because we have

53:14 Speaker 7: the undercard where We have various news subjects in wrestling

53:18 Speaker 7: that we cover, but the main event will be WrestleMania five,

53:21 Speaker 7: which is my favorite WrestleMania. Why why? Yeah, the main

53:25 Speaker 7: event was Macho Man Randy Savage, my favorite wrestler of

53:28 Speaker 7: all time, defending the world title against Hulkogan.

53:31 Speaker 9: That's really your favorite match.

53:33 Speaker 7: That's my favorite WrestleMania.

53:34 Speaker 9: That's your favorite WrestleMania favorite.

53:37 Speaker 7: No, no, that's my favorite. No, me neither. But when

53:42 Speaker 7: I was a kid, you know, he loomed large in

53:43 Speaker 7: my childhood and Mocho Man was my favorite, and he

53:46 Speaker 7: was in the main event of WrestleMania.

53:47 Speaker 9: I always loved Piper and I have in the Junkyard Dog,

53:51 Speaker 9: and that.

53:52 Speaker 7: That one was special to me because at that time

53:54 Speaker 7: they were still obviously you could get it on pay

53:57 Speaker 7: per view, but they also were doing closed circuit I

53:59 Speaker 7: don't know if you remember this when So, for example,

54:02 Speaker 7: the Capital Theater in Conquered or Capital or now it

54:05 Speaker 7: is the Capital Center. When I was a kid, it

54:07 Speaker 7: was called the Capital Theater. I don't know why they

54:08 Speaker 7: changed the name, but they would show they would show

54:10 Speaker 7: events on close circuit TV. So, oh wow, my friends

54:14 Speaker 7: and I went to see WrestleMania five on closed Circuit

54:17 Speaker 7: at the Capitol Theater. Oh wow, No, so that's that's

54:20 Speaker 7: a nice memory that I've attached to it. It's the

54:22 Speaker 7: one time I ever did that. Growing up, I.

54:24 Speaker 9: Watched them Saturday mornings growing up with a particular friend,

54:29 Speaker 9: This girl and I would get together and we would

54:30 Speaker 9: literally eat sour pickles and Oreo cookies, yeah, drink soda

54:35 Speaker 9: and watch Saturday Morning wrestling.

54:37 Speaker 7: Yeah.

54:37 Speaker 9: But after it went pay per view, I went bye bye.

54:40 Speaker 7: So WrestleMania five will be the main event subject this
