Speaker 11: Now you don't just so people know, So you don't.
Speaker 11: You don't have any studio tracks yet, but I assume
Speaker 11: you're gonna be going into the studio at some point
Speaker 11: soon because you've got some You've got some original music
Speaker 11: as well as covers.
Speaker 12: Correct correct and do a lot of covers. I'm starting
Speaker 12: to write music. I think have finished one and have
Speaker 12: almost finished for the second one.
Speaker 3: Oh no kidding, Oh very cool.
Speaker 1: I read a lot of lyrics.
Speaker 12: I just have to put music to that.
Speaker 11: Oh that has that always been the case with you?
Speaker 11: I have you always? I mean, did you start out writing?
Speaker 11: Some people, some singer songwriters will start out kind of
Speaker 11: writing poetry and then they'll say, you know, these would
Speaker 11: make good songs, Maybe I should put music to these.
Speaker 11: I mean, is that because cause you mentioned you have
Speaker 11: a lot of lyrics.
Speaker 12: Yeah, they kind of come as journal entries, but they
Speaker 12: come out as songs, and I always thought, somebody, I'll
Speaker 12: put this to music. Yeah, so I've got like a backup.
Speaker 3: Now, why now?
Speaker 11: Because you said so recently you started writing music, But
Speaker 11: I assume you've been performing covers and such for a
Speaker 11: long time.
Speaker 3: Correct.
Speaker 12: So I've been playing guitar a long time. But two
Speaker 12: and a half years ago I started doing open mics
Speaker 12: nights with Andrew North and the Rangers.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, we were talking off air about them, and that's
Speaker 11: that's kind of how you got started doing the open mics, right.
Speaker 12: I've always wanted to do music, but recently finally, just
Speaker 12: I guess it's giving yourself permission to go for it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So what was holding you back? Is it something
Speaker 11: you can identify or was it.
Speaker 12: Just Yeah, I struggled a long time with kind of
Speaker 12: the societal pressure to get a career, get the right job,
Speaker 12: you know, figure your life out. And I just turned.
Speaker 3: Forty last week, good happy birthday.
Speaker 12: And I told myself I wanted to have my dream
Speaker 12: job by the time I'm forty.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've so far.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well it's a start. It's a start, and you're
Speaker 11: you're so you're a professional musician now. Because the way
Speaker 11: I've always looked at it, you know, sometimes people will
Speaker 11: kind of agonize over, well, when can I call myself
Speaker 11: a professional? Yeah, you know, if it's if it's something
Speaker 11: that's not their full time job, you know, when can
Speaker 11: I call myself a professional? And the way I've always
Speaker 11: looked at it is no. And this applies to music
Speaker 11: or anything anything that you do in life that you're
Speaker 11: passionate about. Once you've been paid for something, that's it,
Speaker 11: you're a pro.
Speaker 3: You can call yourself.
Speaker 11: So you can call yourself a professional musician as far
Speaker 11: as I'm concerned, Even if you've only had one paid gig,
Speaker 11: and you know there will be more, right, I mean
Speaker 11: because once that starts, you know, as long as you
Speaker 11: keep at it, you know that's going to grow and grow.
Speaker 11: And so that's awesome. Good for you, Good for you?
Speaker 11: Is that what so turning forty? Is that what made
Speaker 11: you say I got to do this now or never?
Speaker 12: Or actually is when I got an office job a
Speaker 12: couple of years ago?
Speaker 3: Yeah, is that when you started started thinking? I don't know,
Speaker 3: I was.
Speaker 1: The most I it was.
Speaker 12: It was hard. I not an office job person, and
Speaker 12: I got really depressed and I was like, what am
Speaker 12: I doing with my life?
Speaker 1: This isn't me.
Speaker 12: Yeah, And then actually actually listened to a book by
Speaker 12: Dave Stewart of You Rhythmics, his audio book about how
Speaker 12: the band started, and it was it was like really
Speaker 12: inspirational between that and listen like I went to one
Speaker 12: show every month last year musicians and just like seeing
Speaker 12: people do it, Yeah, like it can happen, It's possible. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 12: it was a world changer.
Speaker 11: Yeah, good for you, Good for you. Well, I'm dying
Speaker 11: to hear you play. I've not heard you play at
Speaker 11: all yet, so now I but but I don't. From
Speaker 11: what I've seen online, it looks like, you know, people
Speaker 11: are really digging what you're doing. So I just realized, too,
Speaker 11: that explains the picture. So the and it ended up
Speaker 11: being the picture that I used to promote today's show

Speaker 12: at a New England mountain bike association has a meet
Speaker 12: up and they asked me to play a couple of

Speaker 3: That was wonderful. That was wonderful.
Speaker 11: Tell me about are they a big influence on you?
Speaker 12: No, Actually, it just happened to be a song that
Speaker 12: my buddy was playing with picked.
Speaker 15: Yes.
Speaker 12: He was like, I love this song. I had not
Speaker 12: really listened to them much. Yeah, played it turned out
Speaker 12: I loved it.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I just kind of pick up music that clicks with
Speaker 12: me and yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 11: Do you have are there specific influences that have really
Speaker 11: kind of shaped your you know, your approach to UH
Speaker 11: to how you play. And I'm especially curious too about
Speaker 11: about your singing, because you know, you've you've got a
Speaker 11: great voice, and I'm curious like how you learn to
Speaker 11: sing and who who you listened to or maybe maybe
Speaker 11: you even took lessons.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 12: I it's it's been a mix. But I grew up
Speaker 12: in choir. Okay, A church choir when I was a teenager.
Speaker 12: It was the chore for about six years. That's where
Speaker 12: I got my musical I guess training you just the
Speaker 12: more you do it, the more.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I never learned how to read music or anything. I
Speaker 12: just like sang. I loved singing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I listened to a lot of like punk and rock
Speaker 12: growing up, and I don't know if that had any influence,
Speaker 12: but just definitely energetic and loud. Yeah yeah, and I
Speaker 12: just kept singing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Took lessons once.
Speaker 11: Did you, Yeah, like like literally one lesson or for
Speaker 11: just for six months.
Speaker 3: Oh okay. Do you think it helped you?
Speaker 12: Yeah, there's Yeah, there's definitely things that have stuck from it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I think I absorb a lot by listening to other people.
Speaker 1: YouTube does a lot.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, well that's the thing. Yeah.
Speaker 11: YouTube you can learn. You can learn so much from YouTube.
Speaker 11: It's probably put a lot of music instructors out of business. Actually,
Speaker 11: now that i'm thinking about it, YouTube, because you know,
Speaker 11: if you think about it, that never really occurred to
Speaker 11: me until just now.
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's probably you know, like I remember, you.
Speaker 11: Know, buying DVDs about how to sing and how to play,
Speaker 11: and you know that's of course, you don't need to
Speaker 11: do that anymore.
Speaker 12: I've seen instructors go online.
Speaker 3: Though, oh yeah, yeah, of course.
Speaker 12: Yeah, So I don't know.
Speaker 11: Maybe it's yeah, the ones who are comfortable with it.
Speaker 11: But I took I took voice lessons and I from
Speaker 11: a variety of different instructors over the years, and I
Speaker 11: doubt any of them are even still in business. But
Speaker 11: they didn't help me much. I'm not a bad harmony singer.
Speaker 11: I can kind of find the octave and lock in,
Speaker 11: but on my own I get lost.
Speaker 12: Everything's easier when you do with people.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, yeah no, But just starting an inquire, starting
Speaker 11: singing and inquire, I mean, I think that's a great
Speaker 11: way to start. I always I've always heard Darryl Hall
Speaker 11: say that, like he learned to sing because when he
Speaker 11: was a kid, his mom took him to church. Yeah,
Speaker 11: and that's you know, growing up in Philadelphia, that's you know,
Speaker 11: that was a great way to start, you know.
Speaker 3: And his mother also is a I.
Speaker 11: Say it is because I think she's still alive, but
Speaker 11: she's also a vocal teacher herself, and she taught him
Speaker 11: how to breathe and everything, and took him to church.
Speaker 11: And said, here sing with these people.
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now what about guitar? How did you learn to
Speaker 3: play guitar?
Speaker 12: I got my first guitar when I was seventeen, from
Speaker 12: like a summer crush. He played me like I mean,
Speaker 12: he taught me how to play GCD.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then.
Speaker 12: Over the years it's just been slowly picking up some songs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 12: The first song I ever learned was Boston by Augustana
Speaker 12: And oh, so, I guess we're talking about musicians and bands.
Speaker 12: They were Augustana Is. They're not super popular, but they
Speaker 12: were like so influential to me. Probably when I started
Speaker 12: writing songs, I it was it was a lot of
Speaker 12: like a lot of like kind of dark, sad sounding music.
Speaker 12: You know, a lot of my lyrics would come out
Speaker 12: as like these sad stories and yeah, I like I
Speaker 12: like heartfelt things like emotion. Sure, sure, but anyway, okay, Yeah.
Speaker 1: And then.
Speaker 12: It was two and a half years ago, I again
Speaker 12: doing open mic nights. I was like, well, I don't
Speaker 12: pick it up again. So I picked up my my
Speaker 12: old guitar that I'd got in San Francisco years ago
Speaker 12: on a whim.
Speaker 11: Yeah, did you go a really long time I'm without
Speaker 11: playing at all?
Speaker 3: Or did you kind of?
Speaker 12: I probably went stretches a couple of years stretches, and
Speaker 12: then I'd pick up guitar and like fiddle with it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I might have gone five or six years without
Speaker 12: really playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I started dabbling in the keyboard too, and that was fun. Yeah,
Speaker 12: guitar is always way more intimidating.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So then so when did you so?
Speaker 11: But it was a couple of years ago that you
Speaker 11: picked it back up and really started to focus on
Speaker 11: it or yeah, and.
Speaker 12: I just had to, like again, it was giving myself permission.
Speaker 12: Just I don't really still sometimes feel like I don't
Speaker 12: know what I'm doing, but I I just I learned songs.
Speaker 12: I find songs that I love, and I'm like, I
Speaker 12: better if I learn that, Yeah it's too complicated, I
Speaker 12: let it go. Yeah, and then to find ones that
Speaker 12: are easy.
Speaker 11: So that makes me curious, like, what have you Is
Speaker 11: there anything you can think of specifically that you tried
Speaker 11: to learn that you you felt was too complicated that
Speaker 11: maybe you'll you'll put aside and come back later.
Speaker 3: Well, it's curious about this kind of thing.
Speaker 12: Is there is there anything I think there was a
Speaker 12: Beatles song. Yeah, I can't remember what it was called.
Speaker 12: I can't remember which one, but they use a lot
Speaker 12: of When I say a complimentated, complicated chords, it's like
Speaker 12: there you have to stretch your fingers around, or there's
Speaker 12: a chord change every you know, every beat home.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like yeah.
Speaker 12: And sometimes I've learned too to allow myself to just
Speaker 12: instead of changing chords, you might find one that sounds similar,
Speaker 12: so just stay on it, right.
Speaker 3: Right, Yes, yes, absolutely.
Speaker 11: When I when I was a teenager, so I took
Speaker 11: guitar lessons, and but I was I was kind of
Speaker 11: a lazy kid. If I wasn't good at something quickly enough,
Speaker 11: I would tend to.
Speaker 3: Give up on it. And that's how I ended up.
Speaker 11: And bass players hate when I say this. I know that,
Speaker 11: but I'm a bass player so I can say it.
Speaker 11: That's how I ended up playing bass because I got
Speaker 11: frustrated with the guitar and and then I picked up
Speaker 11: a bass. I was with some friends, some musicians, and
Speaker 11: I picked up a bass and I seem to have
Speaker 11: a feel for it really quickly, and I was kind
Speaker 11: of like, oh, two less strings and I don't have
Speaker 11: to know any chords. I think I found my instrument,
Speaker 11: and it turned out I did find my instrument because
Speaker 11: I ended up playing in a bunch of bands over
Speaker 11: the years. But and I'm not a bad bass player.
Speaker 11: But and I can still play a little bit of
Speaker 11: a guitar, you know, I can play I can play
Speaker 11: in a punk band probably, but but.
Speaker 3: Uh, but yeah, it's uh, but I know what you mean.
Speaker 11: And it's like, you can you can kind of psyche
Speaker 11: yourself out by trying trying too hard to emulate exactly
Speaker 11: what the original artist did when you can you can
Speaker 11: change it, yeah, and make it sound the same. You know,
Speaker 11: there's no there's no rules really, I mean, music theory
Speaker 11: is music theory, but that doesn't mean you have to
Speaker 11: do it exactly the way it was done to make
Speaker 11: it sound good. And if along the way you kind
Speaker 11: of make it your own, that's good too.
Speaker 12: I think, yeah, there's I think music has taught me
Speaker 12: that I'm can be a perfectionist. And it's a lot
Speaker 12: of your heart on yourself. And it's like that has
Speaker 12: to really be ingrained as it's okay to be flexible
Speaker 12: with the songs, okay to put your own spin on it. Yep,
Speaker 12: And people want that probably.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, some people do. I mean some people.
Speaker 11: There's always some people who will complain like, oh that
Speaker 11: you didn't play that right, But it's like, uh, you know,
Speaker 11: but to me, I always like, you know, it's like
Speaker 11: if I see a cover band, I don't necessarily want
Speaker 11: to hear everything exactly the way it sounds, the way
Speaker 11: the original artists played it. I kind of want to hear.
Speaker 11: It's like, okay, I know how the original goes. I
Speaker 11: can I hear it on the radio, I can pull
Speaker 11: it up online. I want to hear your interpretation of it,
Speaker 11: you know what I mean? That to me is more interesting.
Speaker 11: But there are some people who are just like, oh
Speaker 11: you didn't you didn't play that the way I know it.
Speaker 11: It's like, well, go listen to it the way you
Speaker 11: know it. The way you know it is available to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 12: It is about creativity.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, or it should be. At least it should be.
Speaker 3: You want to play another one?
Speaker 11: Okay, all right, if you're just joining us, Rachel Molein
Speaker 11: is here with us live in studio, sounding great.
Speaker 12: I sorry, okay, I'll play I'll play an original.

Speaker 12: first time it's every recorded to this will be.

Speaker 3: All right, what's this called?
Speaker 12: It's called this song is called the Moment. It's very short.
Speaker 12: It's it's about living in the moment, really, because a
Speaker 12: lot of times they escape us. Yes, before we've had
Speaker 12: a chance to do something about it. And let's bring that.

Speaker 11: of what kind of shows have you you been doing?
Speaker 11: You mentioned the open mics, and then have you been
Speaker 11: but you know you've been doing more than just that obviously.
Speaker 12: So yeah, volunteered for a couple of things. It played
Speaker 12: at a school last weekend, like a parent teacher fundraiser thing.
Speaker 12: Oh cool, that was fun. There was three other artists there,
Speaker 12: one that I knew. Playing in front of a bunch of
Speaker 12: kids is really fun there. They give a lot of
Speaker 12: feedback dancing to your music or or they come up
Speaker 12: there and they just stare at you playing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I played at Feathered Friends last weekend, opened for
Speaker 12: Lee and doctor.
Speaker 3: G Okay, he is a local man. Now where is

Speaker 11: Feathered trends, like like, what would that be, like a
Speaker 11: store that sells jackets like made of feather?
Speaker 12: I think we should.
Speaker 11: Should open that. Feathered trends. So feathered friends, okay, okay,
Speaker 11: so what is that?
Speaker 12: It's a brewery.
Speaker 3: It's a brewery. Okay.
Speaker 12: They have a cool stage in the back. Then I
Speaker 12: played last December. I played up at a place in Bethlehem,
Speaker 12: Okay called Flamingo.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 12: A buddy of mine, Jim Terrell, is also a New Hampshire.
Speaker 11: Oh I know Jim, ye yep. I've interviewed him actually, jeez,
Speaker 11: I don't know how many times.
Speaker 3: Over the years. Yeah, yeah, oh absolutely, Jim's great.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 12: I went up to see him play because he plays
Speaker 12: there every Wednesday.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: He had me sing a couple of songs and the
Speaker 12: owner was like, Jim can't be here next week, do
Speaker 12: you want to fill in? Oh nice, it's a three
Speaker 12: hour set, and I was like.
Speaker 9: Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, let's do.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 12: It was a really good experience. It was a challenge
Speaker 12: because I didn't have three hours of material.
Speaker 3: But well, the thing is, though, with a situation like
Speaker 3: that too. You can repeat some stuff.
Speaker 11: I mean, you're not you know, you're not playing to
Speaker 11: the same crowd in the first hour that you you
Speaker 11: know in the third hour, you know what I mean?
Speaker 12: Right, So, yeah, you're right.
Speaker 3: I mean, is that what you ended up doing? He
Speaker 3: just yeah, yeah, did.
Speaker 12: About I had about an hour and twenty minutes or so.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she just played this stuff. Just play the
Speaker 3: SAT twice? Right, yeah, no big deal. Yeah, no, that's cool.
Speaker 3: So I went, well it did. Yeah.
Speaker 12: I was not as prepared as I could have been.
Speaker 12: I think I say that every time.
Speaker 11: Sure, well, you know, like we talked about earlier, you know,
Speaker 11: I'm creative. People are most hard on themselves, you know,
Speaker 11: the most self critical. So but it comes from a
Speaker 11: good place because you want to be good at what
Speaker 11: you're doing, and you you know, you want people to
Speaker 11: be impressed and whatnot. So right, So are you is
Speaker 11: that kind of is your goal to continue to do
Speaker 11: shows like that?
Speaker 3: More and more shows like that? Is that? Like you
Speaker 3: want to be playing out all the time. I assume
Speaker 3: I would like to.
Speaker 12: It's really good. I've found that it it's a lot
Speaker 12: of pressure. I mean, I put pressure on myself. Yeah,
Speaker 12: but it's really good to develop my set list and
Speaker 12: it it's I'm learning so much as I'm learning songs.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 12: I'd like to be able to id like to be
Speaker 12: able to support myself with music.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. Yeah.
Speaker 12: I do want to keep writing and start recording, and
Speaker 12: I'd love to eventually start a band. Can I say
Speaker 12: I'm looking for a fiddle player? Know that there's fiddle
Speaker 12: players like all over, but yeah, I would love to
Speaker 12: collaborate with someone.
Speaker 3: Now, why a fiddle player specifically.
Speaker 12: It's okay, it's probably some band influences like Airborne Toxic
Speaker 12: Event is a rock band and they have a fiddle.
Speaker 12: The fiddle was one of his first band members. Oh, violin, same,
Speaker 12: But yeah, it just sounds so cool. I think in
Speaker 12: any style of music, yeah, adds something that you don't
Speaker 12: get to see or hear a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Does Andrew North and the Rangers have a fiddle player?
Speaker 3: Don't they know? They haven't they have a Who.
Speaker 11: Am I thinking of? No, I'm thinking I don't know
Speaker 11: who I'm thinking of. But yeah, I mean it's not like,
Speaker 11: uh yeah, fiddle players though. Yeah, it's not like you know,
Speaker 11: guitar players are everywhere, but fiddle players. Yeah, how do
Speaker 11: you find a fiddle player?
Speaker 12: I've been asked. I've been I just asked people some
Speaker 12: I'll come up with one.
Speaker 11: And when you find one, they're probably already in a
Speaker 11: bunch of bands because it's not many fiddle players around.
Speaker 3: Probably. No, I'm sure you'll find somebody. No, that's cool though. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's cool. So you obviously, so you want to do
Speaker 3: something that doesn't sound like everything else, You want to
Speaker 3: do something something different.
Speaker 11: No, I think that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, fiddle players.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think of who. I don't know why.
Speaker 11: I was thinking of Andrew North, maybe just because we
Speaker 11: were talking about earlier. But yeah, No, that's that's cool.
Speaker 11: Now you so, have you actively started looking for band
Speaker 11: members or are you just kind of starting to look.
Speaker 12: I'm starting to look. I've been meeting people at the
Speaker 12: open mic night.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a that's a great Oh.
Speaker 11: Over the years of interviewing people, so many bands have
Speaker 11: started out of open mic nights, just people meeting there.
Speaker 3: It's it's such a great place in.
Speaker 12: Network, right, Yeah, I have faith in that.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, so that's that's that's one of the
Speaker 3: long term goals. Get a band going.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what kind of band yet.
Speaker 12: I know I want a fiddle player. Yeah, there's this
Speaker 12: band called the East Pointers. They're from Prince Edward Island,
Speaker 12: Okay recently. I went to see them last year and
Speaker 12: that was a moment. It was one moment where I
Speaker 12: was like I can do this.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: They're a guitar player and a fiddle player and one
Speaker 12: of them they switched to keyboard. Oh but they also
Speaker 12: do you know, they do beats and stuff. Their music
Speaker 12: is like not really traditional fiddle player. It's not Irish
Speaker 12: per se.
Speaker 3: Interesting.
Speaker 12: It's a lot of really cool different sound ones and
Speaker 12: high energy.
Speaker 3: I'm super curious.
Speaker 12: What are they called The East Pointers?

Speaker 11: Oh yeah, there's a lot to it. There's a lot
Speaker 11: to it. Yeah, yeah, how do you feel about that
Speaker 11: part of it? I mean, are are you intimidated by it?
Speaker 11: Or because you know, some some musicians actually kind of
Speaker 11: embrace all of it. Some musicians are just like I
Speaker 11: just want to play. I want somebody else to do
Speaker 11: all the all the other stuff. I mean, how do
Speaker 11: you feel about it?
Speaker 12: I I want to do it all. Yeah, to be honest,
Speaker 12: I want to sing. Like mostly I play guitar because
Speaker 12: it so I can play out unforcing like I'm forcing myself.
Speaker 1: Sort of to.
Speaker 11: But in an ideal situation, you'd like to be in
Speaker 11: a band and not have to worry about the guitar
Speaker 11: eventually on vocals, Yeah.
Speaker 12: I would love to sing. I I played with saying
Speaker 12: with a friend of mine. Their band is called J
Speaker 12: Street Extension. They're up in the Northfield area yea, and
Speaker 12: they had they asked me to sing with them a
Speaker 12: couple months back, and it was mind blowing. I loved it.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 12: I had to learn all these songs that I didn't
Speaker 12: know a lot of, like Bonnie Ray and oh Okay

Speaker 12: start obviously, Yeah, yeah, I am all ears.

Speaker 11: the show too, and he fascinating to talk to. But
Speaker 11: he's so talented. Yeah, so somebody might want to keep
Speaker 11: in mind. But but yeah, but you've got a lot
Speaker 11: of options. And you know, and we live in a
Speaker 11: time too where like when I was growing up, I'm
Speaker 11: old enough to remember when it was like, you know,
Speaker 11: you you had to find a studio and pay somebody
Speaker 11: incredible amounts of money to record in their million dollars studio.
Speaker 3: And uh, if you didn't.
Speaker 11: Have the money while you were sol you know, or
Speaker 11: maybe or maybe you just record something on a little
Speaker 11: task him four track, you know, a demo or something.
Speaker 3: But now it's like you've got so many options, you know.
Speaker 11: It's technology is a wonderful thing.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that part's intimidating, to be honest. Yeah, I look
Speaker 12: at all the stuff and I'm.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, no doubt.
