6:23 Speaker 11: I don't mind Darling Hill, I don't mind representation.

6:26 Speaker 10: Yes, yes, I've had some people.

6:28 Speaker 11: It's kind of funny. People started calling me Darling, which

6:30 Speaker 11: kind of threw oh really off. Yeah yeah, yeah, I

6:33 Speaker 11: didn't hate it though, I thought it was kind of.

6:35 Speaker 10: Cute, right right, So thanks not the worst thing. And

6:39 Speaker 10: of course you've you've been doing a lot with the

6:42 Speaker 10: listening room at Prayers of Nature. Yeah we should, oh

6:45 Speaker 10: you know what too. Before we go any further, let

6:47 Speaker 10: me hold this up for people watching online. I'll hold

6:49 Speaker 10: up this cool sticker you brought us from the listening

6:52 Speaker 10: room at Prayers of Nature.

6:53 Speaker 11: Thank you.

6:54 Speaker 10: So for those who don't know, refresh our memory, on

6:57 Speaker 10: our memories collectively, on what that is what you do there.

7:00 Speaker 11: Well, I do want to give a quick shout out

7:02 Speaker 11: to the artist of that picture you've shown is my

7:04 Speaker 11: friend Victoria. Her business name is actually I Have Ethereal.

7:08 Speaker 11: She's a tattoo artist in Nashua. She's located under the

7:11 Speaker 11: Riverwalk Cafe. She's fabulous and we just released a couple

7:15 Speaker 11: of new images that she did as well yesterday.

7:18 Speaker 2: So that's cool.

7:19 Speaker 11: She's been working with me since we started. So I

7:22 Speaker 11: just wanted to create a little space for musicians to

7:25 Speaker 11: come and share their art in a way that is

7:29 Speaker 11: nurturing and celebrating who they are as I did it

7:34 Speaker 11: years ago out of my home, but I kind of

7:37 Speaker 11: took a break and as you know, I met you

7:39 Speaker 11: after I came back from Nashville and elevated a little

7:43 Speaker 11: bit and wanted to share that elevation with the artists

7:46 Speaker 11: that I work with locally. So create this small little

7:49 Speaker 11: space and Caleb will be number eleven.

7:52 Speaker 10: So excellent.

7:54 Speaker 11: I started with one. I was like, I'm just going

7:55 Speaker 11: to do one show month. That's it. I don't want

7:57 Speaker 11: to overdo it. I got the small little art studio,

7:59 Speaker 11: and then it turned into, well, since I have the

8:00 Speaker 11: gear out, I'll do two, you know, like a Friday Saturday.

8:04 Speaker 11: And then it turned into oh, I'll do it Thursday,

8:05 Speaker 11: Friday Saturday.

8:06 Speaker 10: So yeah, it's.

8:07 Speaker 11: Still once a month, but it's usually three shows in

8:10 Speaker 11: one weekend. Okay, So yes, Caleb is number eleven.

8:13 Speaker 2: Oh, very good.

8:14 Speaker 11: And I've had the fortune of having people from not

8:18 Speaker 11: just New Hampshire, but getting the attention from people from

8:21 Speaker 11: Maine and New York and Connecticut basically a little New England. Yeah, nugget.

8:25 Speaker 11: And once they hear the deal, they either decide to

8:27 Speaker 11: come be a part of it, or they get put

8:30 Speaker 11: on a waiting list because I am fully booked.

8:33 Speaker 10: So oh that's good. Yeah that's a good problem now right.

8:36 Speaker 11: Yeah, it's pretty interesting. I think people, you know, I'm

8:40 Speaker 11: a musician myself, and I do understand. I try to

8:42 Speaker 11: accommodate what I would like. Yeah, so people who see that,

8:46 Speaker 11: I think it attracts them. And Caleb reached out after

8:50 Speaker 11: Dan Blakesley swung through, Oh yeah, which was real helpful

8:54 Speaker 11: to I don't know if you've heard of him.

8:55 Speaker 10: I interviewed Dan Blakesley a long time ago. Yeah, yeah,

8:58 Speaker 10: a lot, because he's been around a while, A long

9:01 Speaker 10: time ago. Wow, he hasn't stopped. So yeah, I'm really

9:05 Speaker 10: excited to have another main artist. Or is he from Maine.

9:07 Speaker 10: He's from me, So I really like what Maine's doing.

9:13 Speaker 10: So New Hampshire pay attention. Yes, well, what is Main

9:16 Speaker 10: doing that we're not doing here?

9:17 Speaker 11: I think they're just weirder. Man that they're just weirder.

9:20 Speaker 11: I think it's further north, there's less bs up there,

9:24 Speaker 11: there's something going on closer to the sky.

9:27 Speaker 10: I think interesting, interesting.

9:29 Speaker 11: It's funkier, it's weirder, it's spookier. I think they embrace

9:33 Speaker 11: that a little more so than in this area. I

9:35 Speaker 11: think here is from my perception from what I've seen,

9:38 Speaker 11: is the local music scene here seems to really hyper

9:40 Speaker 11: fixated on like pop country or folk or like like

9:45 Speaker 11: a heavy metal vibe and even some punk. But I

9:47 Speaker 11: haven't seen this like cool spooky rockability. I don't even

9:52 Speaker 11: know what to call you sometimes, like I know what

9:54 Speaker 11: you are, but trying to articulate it to other people.

9:56 Speaker 11: What Caleb does is well.

9:57 Speaker 10: Yeah, because we were talking off air about how and

10:00 Speaker 10: I was saying, Caleb, how I don't like listening to

10:02 Speaker 10: your and we should tell the audience too, not everything

10:05 Speaker 10: that you obviously as an instrumental. We opened with an

10:07 Speaker 10: instrumental track, but we're going to play some. I love

10:09 Speaker 10: your voice, so I'm looking forward to playing some of

10:10 Speaker 10: the other stuff too. But I can't think of anybody

10:13 Speaker 10: around here who really sounds like you and what you're doing.

10:17 Speaker 10: But but so, what do you think it is?

10:19 Speaker 6: Like?

10:19 Speaker 10: What's different about where your area is?

10:22 Speaker 2: Someone sent me a photo the other day that said

10:26 Speaker 2: inspirational western sci fi interesting okay, like from a library,

10:33 Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, now I know what to

10:35 Speaker 2: call myself. I love it Spaghetti western, maybe a little

10:39 Speaker 2: spaghetti Western rockabilly country blues music I really like and

10:47 Speaker 2: that I've been writing for a long time and I've

10:51 Speaker 2: played in bands playing music I've written and I'm proud of,

10:57 Speaker 2: you know, every band I've been in. But I moved

11:01 Speaker 2: to Auburn, Maine after living in Portland for over twenty years,

11:06 Speaker 2: and Auburn, Maine's a little more central Maine, and I

11:10 Speaker 2: didn't really know anyone up there, and getting a band

11:13 Speaker 2: together was just kind of a pain. And then setting

11:17 Speaker 2: up practices in Portland with people willing to play, it

11:19 Speaker 2: was just scheduling stuff. So I just started playing on

11:24 Speaker 2: my own, just using my feet and my arms and

11:28 Speaker 2: my voice, and I realized it's a lot less hassle,

11:33 Speaker 2: and it's a means to an end. I can play

11:34 Speaker 2: my songs and I can agree to play anywhere at

11:37 Speaker 2: the drop of a hat. I'll have to run anything

11:40 Speaker 2: by a committee. I can do anything I want.

11:44 Speaker 10: That's been a consistent theme on the show over the

11:46 Speaker 10: years with guests who are doing a solo thing who

11:50 Speaker 10: used to play in bands. Right, it's like, oh, this

11:52 Speaker 10: is actually easier logistically.

11:54 Speaker 2: Oh it is. It's easier logistically, and you know, I would.

11:58 Speaker 2: I'm not against it. I love to someday have a

12:01 Speaker 2: band to play with. It's a lot I love playing

12:05 Speaker 2: standing up, yeah, but it's just, you know, money's a thing.

12:11 Speaker 2: And I don't want to pay anybody. I don't want

12:13 Speaker 2: to play without getting paid if they're playing, if they're

12:16 Speaker 2: backing somebody up, and I get that. Yeah, But for

12:19 Speaker 2: now I'm having a blast just doing it myself. Yeah,

12:22 Speaker 2: packing up the car sometimes I bring my dog yep,

12:25 Speaker 2: you know. And I could go on weekend tours and yeah,

12:30 Speaker 2: I don't. If I can do it, I can do it.

12:32 Speaker 2: I don't have to run it by anybody.

12:34 Speaker 10: Yeah. Yeah, you miss Portland at all, because that's a

12:36 Speaker 10: great that's a great scene in Portland. There's always a

12:38 Speaker 10: lot of good bands around. Sure, seems like, but you

12:41 Speaker 10: don't miss it.

12:42 Speaker 2: No, Now I miss a memory of what Portland was.

12:44 Speaker 2: It's not what it was, and I mean it's a

12:47 Speaker 2: great place, but just having lived there. When I lived there,

12:50 Speaker 2: I was joking with somebody that there were five restaurants. Really,

12:53 Speaker 2: oh there were maybe ten. Yeah, and it was you

12:58 Speaker 2: could afford to live there. It was dirtier, people were

13:05 Speaker 2: maybe a little there was they were more rude, Okay,

13:10 Speaker 2: it was. It was just a little more fun. And uh,

13:13 Speaker 2: you know that parable when they talk about the frog

13:16 Speaker 2: and boiling water, that doesn't realize it's boiling until it's

13:19 Speaker 2: too late. That's kind of how I felt while I

13:21 Speaker 2: was living there. I was this water is it's boiling?

13:27 Speaker 10: Interesting?

13:27 Speaker 2: I played? I mean, I'm playing there. Tonight I'll be

13:29 Speaker 2: at Geno's. And so I'm there a couple of times

13:34 Speaker 2: a month for shows or to see friends bands play,

13:37 Speaker 2: and I have a lot of friends that live there.

13:38 Speaker 2: But I don't miss living there.

13:39 Speaker 10: Okay, okay, Oh that's good. It's good that you're happy

13:41 Speaker 10: where you are. Oh yeah, that's awesome.

13:43 Speaker 2: I love Yeah, I like river Folk.

13:46 Speaker 10: Now do you think that's influenced what you do creatively?

13:51 Speaker 10: Like or do you think if you were doing a

13:53 Speaker 10: solo thing in Portland you'd be doing the same thing.

13:55 Speaker 2: Or I'd probably be doing the same thing. But I think, uh,

14:00 Speaker 2: you know, being up there, I wouldn't say I'm isolated,

14:03 Speaker 2: but definitely left to my own devices. More as far

14:07 Speaker 2: as like music again, like playing alone, I'm just I

14:12 Speaker 2: bounce ideas off the wall and back to me.

14:16 Speaker 10: Exactly. So what drew you to performing at Prayers of

14:20 Speaker 10: Nature or the listening room? Rather at listening room at

14:23 Speaker 10: present look.

14:25 Speaker 2: Like a cool It looked like a cool place. I mean,

14:28 Speaker 2: I'm I playing alone it's a hustle. I'm I'm. I

14:33 Speaker 2: send out at least one email or message or something

14:37 Speaker 2: a day to somebody, and you know, sometimes you hear back.

14:42 Speaker 2: Sometimes you hear back and there's enthusiasms. Sometimes you hear

14:46 Speaker 2: back and you have to plead your case to people

14:48 Speaker 2: of why you should be there to play. But in

14:52 Speaker 2: this in this case, I sent an inquiry and I

14:55 Speaker 2: got a lot of enthusiasm back, which right there, it's like, yeah, okay,

14:59 Speaker 2: I want to play at this place. Yea, And yeah

15:02 Speaker 2: it just looked cool and I'd never been to Wilton,

15:04 Speaker 2: New Hampshire.

15:05 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, you probably heard that a lot.

15:08 Speaker 11: Right, try to find the place tucked away. It's definitely

15:14 Speaker 11: what you call a hidden jem. It's a it's in

15:16 Speaker 11: an art mill. So it's pretty cool once you find it.

15:19 Speaker 11: Once people discover it, they're like, oh cool, you know, yeah,

15:22 Speaker 11: it's different. It makes sense so that you would find

15:24 Speaker 11: a weird little nook, right right.

15:28 Speaker 10: Has it changed much by the way since you opened?

15:30 Speaker 10: Because because I think if I remember correctly, so, you

15:32 Speaker 10: had been on the show when you were either about

15:35 Speaker 10: to start or you had just started it.

15:37 Speaker 11: I mean Tyler with us, Yeah, we just started it.

15:40 Speaker 10: Yeah, you hadn't had it yet, okay.

15:42 Speaker 11: Right right now, I've had ten of them since I've

15:44 Speaker 11: last been here. Yeah, I thought six months have gone

15:46 Speaker 11: by already. And I was like, well, come to an update.

15:48 Speaker 11: And then I booked him and I was like, you

15:51 Speaker 11: want to come with me?

15:52 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah.

15:53 Speaker 11: It's like if anything, can play your music and just

15:55 Speaker 11: talk about you, you know.

15:56 Speaker 2: Yeah.

15:57 Speaker 10: Yeah, so he was.

15:58 Speaker 11: I was happy that he's physically with today.

16:00 Speaker 10: Absolutely.

16:01 Speaker 2: Yeah.

16:01 Speaker 11: But I guess what's changed is my commitment to making

16:07 Speaker 11: sure that the sound is as good as it can

16:10 Speaker 11: be in the lighting, and because I'm recognizing that the

16:13 Speaker 11: online presence is really important. Absolutely, and it's been helpful

16:18 Speaker 11: to me and exciting because I didn't really have much

16:22 Speaker 11: optimism when I started. Really I didn't. I hadn't been

16:27 Speaker 11: in the booking a venue scene in about three years.

16:32 Speaker 11: I had taken a break. I had taken a break

16:34 Speaker 11: because I was burnt out. And I'd done it for

16:36 Speaker 11: other people, I'd done it for myself. I'd done it

16:37 Speaker 11: as a musician. I'd done it as a venue. Yeah,

16:40 Speaker 11: I've done it as a nonprofit. I had done it.

16:42 Speaker 11: I did it, and I was like, I'm done, and

16:44 Speaker 11: that's when I took a break and focused on my

16:46 Speaker 11: own music. So when I jump back into supporting other artists,

16:51 Speaker 11: it was a little apprehensive because obviously it comes with

16:54 Speaker 11: a lot of drama and a lot of egos and

16:57 Speaker 11: I have to manage them and it affects my relationships,

17:00 Speaker 11: and I just was went in really apprehensively and really guarded.

17:04 Speaker 11: But the more I did it, every show I had,

17:06 Speaker 11: I was like, yes, this is what I want. I

17:09 Speaker 11: love this part of meeting such unique artists and being

17:13 Speaker 11: able to support them and just making them feel good

17:15 Speaker 11: about themselves made me feel good about myself. And I

17:18 Speaker 11: think that finally shone through in the social media and

17:22 Speaker 11: it resonated. So I think that's what changed for me personally.

17:27 Speaker 11: And I wish I could do it every weekend, but

17:31 Speaker 11: I wouldn't have the fuel probably to do it. So

17:34 Speaker 11: it's good. I just I got to set that boundary

17:36 Speaker 11: with three and just make people wait, I guess if

17:39 Speaker 11: they want to come do it.

17:40 Speaker 10: So you mentioned too, you're hearing from people. It sounds

17:42 Speaker 10: like you're hearing from people all over the Northeast.

17:44 Speaker 8: At this point.

17:45 Speaker 11: Yeah, yes, you know. And it's a bummer too, because

17:48 Speaker 11: the second I recognize they're a little too far away.

17:50 Speaker 11: I'm gonna have to have the conversation with them about

17:52 Speaker 11: how we don't offer a guarantee. I'm pretty transparent about that. Yeah,

17:56 Speaker 11: but I will I I will hustle for you and

18:02 Speaker 11: if you meet me halfway, we will do what we can.

18:04 Speaker 11: And I don't take a cut unless the room even

18:07 Speaker 11: sells out, so like, I'm not here to take your money.

18:09 Speaker 11: I'm really here to share your art. So yeah, for

18:11 Speaker 11: some people though, that John is just a little too far,

18:14 Speaker 11: you know, as much as they want to come play,

18:16 Speaker 11: they're like, oh, man, I can't do it. But you know,

18:18 Speaker 11: I will say too something Caleb touched on and then

18:22 Speaker 11: I'll shut up. Is as a musician myself, whenever I

18:24 Speaker 11: reach out and try to get bookings, not getting a response,

18:29 Speaker 11: I would rather get a no oh. I would rather

18:32 Speaker 11: get oh, we're booked, or you know, I'd rather get

18:35 Speaker 11: some kind of like confirmation that you at least saw

18:37 Speaker 11: my stuff right, and like, if it's not for you, you

18:39 Speaker 11: don't think it's a good fit, that's fine. But I

18:41 Speaker 11: get so irritated when I don't even get a response,

18:43 Speaker 11: So I try to at least respond to people. Even

18:45 Speaker 11: though I get a lot of inquiries, I will respond

18:47 Speaker 11: to you.

18:48 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, I will.

18:50 Speaker 11: Sometimes it's a no and for whatever reason, but I

18:53 Speaker 11: will let you know so you can move about with

18:57 Speaker 11: your bookings accordingly.

18:59 Speaker 2: Yeah, there a.

19:00 Speaker 10: Point where you started to feel like, oh, this is

19:04 Speaker 10: really going to work, or this is going to catch

19:07 Speaker 10: on more than I expected.

19:08 Speaker 11: I was surprised by the response. For musicians, I want

19:12 Speaker 11: a more solid patronage, but that will just happen over time. Sure,

19:16 Speaker 11: I recognize that, and bringing people in that aren't normally

19:20 Speaker 11: from here is helpful. People willing to take the risk

19:22 Speaker 11: and come out and share their art with us, and

19:25 Speaker 11: you know, and doing that I've already gained just beginning

19:27 Speaker 11: Dan in there, I had people from town that it

19:29 Speaker 11: never even knew I existed down there, and they can

19:32 Speaker 11: so they don't want to come back. So you know,

19:35 Speaker 11: every once in a while there's people in town that

19:37 Speaker 11: follow these artists that will come and then they want

19:39 Speaker 11: to come back to more. So I'm hoping by the

19:41 Speaker 11: end of the year I have a solid crew.

19:43 Speaker 10: Yeah that's fantastic.

19:44 Speaker 11: Now you know twenty seats, you know I could do it.

19:47 Speaker 10: Yeah, Yeah, that's fantastic. Yeah, Caleb is this, Well, when

19:52 Speaker 10: is the show?

19:53 Speaker 11: Actually when Saturday? Next week?

19:55 Speaker 10: Next Saturday.

19:56 Speaker 2: Okay, so that's the nineteenth nineteenth.

19:59 Speaker 10: Will this be the most kind of unique situation for

20:03 Speaker 10: you in terms of where you've played, because this is

20:05 Speaker 10: obviously you know, there's nothing quite like you know, the

20:08 Speaker 10: listening room. This is, this is different.

20:11 Speaker 2: It's definitely the most unique I think of the summer. Yeah,

20:15 Speaker 2: for sure, to have like my own basically like my

20:19 Speaker 2: own recital concert. The rest of the shows I'm playing

20:23 Speaker 2: this year are on bills with other artists, which is great. Yeah,

20:26 Speaker 2: is fun. And they'll be you know, thirty five forty

20:28 Speaker 2: minute sets, or I have a couple two or three

20:33 Speaker 2: hour nights where I'm just you know, playing in the

20:38 Speaker 2: corner somewhere, which is fine. Yeah, And but this will

20:43 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, this is probably the only like solo

20:48 Speaker 2: kind of recital to an interested audience that's there just

20:54 Speaker 2: for and I'll you know, I have more time to

21:00 Speaker 2: you know, explain myself, you know, talk talk about the song. Yeah,

21:06 Speaker 2: talk about the songs. I can touch on that a

21:09 Speaker 2: little bit sometimes, but I'll actually have time to do

21:12 Speaker 2: that or or play songs. I don't play all that often,

21:17 Speaker 2: like I've been thinking about, Oh, well I have you know,

21:19 Speaker 2: I've been making a list of stuff I need to

21:24 Speaker 2: practice that I haven't played in a while that I'm

21:25 Speaker 2: looking forward to to playing.

21:27 Speaker 10: Yeah you know, yeah, oh very cool. Well we should

21:30 Speaker 10: play another one of these studio tracks that you sent

21:33 Speaker 10: us and we had talked what was we had talked

21:36 Speaker 10: off here about one specifically.

21:38 Speaker 2: Sad sci fi Part one?

21:40 Speaker 10: Oh yeah, tell us about this?

21:41 Speaker 2: Well? This My favorite genre of movies, or television or

21:49 Speaker 2: or books is sad science fiction. It's science fiction that's

21:54 Speaker 2: you know, usually depressing because it's maybe a little less fiction,

21:57 Speaker 2: more nonfiction like apocalypse. Yeah, you know, if you ever

22:02 Speaker 2: watched The Outer Limits, like The Outer Limits was one

22:06 Speaker 2: of my It's one of my favorite shows. It's like

22:08 Speaker 2: Twilight Zone, but it's purely science fiction. The episodes are longer,

22:14 Speaker 2: it's slower, darker, and a lot of times it ends

22:18 Speaker 2: just on a really down beat. And I just love that.

22:22 Speaker 2: I mean, that's what life is really. I mean, it's

22:25 Speaker 2: it's a horror. We can find joy here and there,

22:29 Speaker 2: but I mean we shouldn't be here. It's a struggle

22:34 Speaker 2: until you're dead. And that's the one thing we have

22:36 Speaker 2: guaranteed to us. And this is a song I wrote

22:41 Speaker 2: just the the the idea of, you know, we need

22:45 Speaker 2: optimistic people, we need people looking out for everyone, and

22:50 Speaker 2: I appreciate that, and I honor that I am not

22:53 Speaker 2: one of those people, and and just the idea of

22:58 Speaker 2: of what what I I mean. This song is less fiction,

23:02 Speaker 2: I guess than I think. But yeah, like this this

23:06 Speaker 2: we're circling the drain, I guess. And that's where on

23:11 Speaker 2: that note.

23:12 Speaker 10: Oh, by the way, Mariam Vanish and the chat room

23:14 Speaker 10: says outer Limits, one of my favorites can be so scary.

23:16 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I've.

23:18 Speaker 10: Always been aware of the show, but I don't think

23:19 Speaker 10: I've ever actually seen the show.

23:21 Speaker 2: It's it's fantastic.

23:22 Speaker 10: Yeah, I might have to check it out. It sounds

23:23 Speaker 10: like something I would be interested in. Yeah, all right,

23:25 Speaker 10: so we will. H So let's give this a spend.

23:27 Speaker 10: And by the way, where are these uh these are from?

23:29 Speaker 10: You have an album or I?

23:31 Speaker 2: I have a brand new album out called Cold Heart

23:34 Speaker 2: Volume one. It was recorded live in the studio in Summerville,

23:39 Speaker 2: mass by my friend Sean Kerran at the Napoleon Complex.

23:44 Speaker 2: And you just set up a bunch of mics, hit

23:46 Speaker 2: record and I just blew through my set, and uh,

23:50 Speaker 2: it was an incredible experience and it sounded so good

23:53 Speaker 2: that I was, Yeah, it's all live, no overdubs, and

23:58 Speaker 2: I was recorded in the studio.

24:00 Speaker 10: So kind of doesn't surprise me because there's, uh, there's

24:03 Speaker 10: a certain raw energy to to uh, you know, because

24:06 Speaker 10: I listened to the tracks that you sent and there's

24:08 Speaker 10: there's kind of a raw energy to them. It sounds

24:10 Speaker 10: it sounds like it was recorded, you know what I mean.

24:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was great, no headphones, you just put a

24:13 Speaker 2: monitor in front of my face, and.

24:17 Speaker 11: I feel like he mixed it well though.

24:19 Speaker 2: That's what threw me when you said that.

24:21 Speaker 11: He's like the energy is there, but I was like, wow,

24:23 Speaker 11: this is actually I can't. I was actually having a

24:25 Speaker 11: hard time discerning. That's great though, in a good way.

24:28 Speaker 2: Yeah, he knows what he's doing, you know, clearly, clearly.

24:33 Speaker 2: And yeah, So a new album out and if you

24:37 Speaker 2: you know Crying Caleb, if you just google that, you'll

24:40 Speaker 2: find a bunch of stuff and you can find it everywhere.

24:43 Speaker 10: Excellent, excellent, all right, so let's give this a spin.

24:46 Speaker 10: So this is Sad sci Fi Part one. Yeah, this

24:49 Speaker 10: is Crying Caleb, check this out.

24:55 Speaker 12: He's coming to save. There's nothing out there, not a man.

25:18 Speaker 12: It caught somewhat, no difference to be made. The future

25:22 Speaker 12: is violence, then silence. But there is one true Now

25:33 Speaker 12: is the only thing that's real outside of that is

25:36 Speaker 12: what this?

25:37 Speaker 13: We're so concerned we are we feel now, we feel.

25:51 Speaker 4: No one.

25:55 Speaker 12: Is coming to war.

25:57 Speaker 14: Thus, no one.

26:05 Speaker 12: Is coming to teachers, and no one will remember the

26:23 Speaker 12: trials that week face these days they are also special.

26:27 Speaker 9: That how don't no one knows the way?

26:30 Speaker 2: Nobody knows no.

26:37 Speaker 12: Having done one way street turnball and I makes me

26:41 Speaker 12: what time is relative?

26:43 Speaker 5: We spend it thinking other.

26:44 Speaker 2: Things, way me, comar things me.

26:56 Speaker 6: No one.

27:01 Speaker 12: Is coming to save Buzz.

27:07 Speaker 2: No one.

27:11 Speaker 15: Is coming to who cares.

27:17 Speaker 12: No one is coming to stop us.

27:26 Speaker 2: No one is coming to.

27:31 Speaker 10: Collect sad side there we go, sorry sad sci fi

27:58 Speaker 10: Part one. That is crying Caleb, And that is what's

28:01 Speaker 10: the name of the album?

28:02 Speaker 2: I get cold Heart Volume one.

28:04 Speaker 10: Cold Heart Volume one, So there's going to be a

28:06 Speaker 10: volume two. I assume, yeah, all right. I always wondering

28:09 Speaker 10: when when I hear somebody call something part one only because.

28:13 Speaker 6: Uh.

28:14 Speaker 10: In the eighties, when Hall and Oates released Rock and

28:16 Speaker 10: Soul part one. They never put out a part two,

28:18 Speaker 10: so whenever I hear that yet, yeah, yes, but it

28:21 Speaker 10: ain't gonna happen now.

28:23 Speaker 11: Apparently they're all upset, but Oasis is back together, so

28:26 Speaker 11: it's fine.

28:27 Speaker 10: Yeah, so anything, anything can happens tomorrow.

28:30 Speaker 2: Hollano.

28:32 Speaker 10: No, that song I was, I was commenting off air.

28:35 Speaker 10: You know, it's dark and it's sad, but it's also funny.

28:38 Speaker 10: Oh you know, I like the I like the sense

28:40 Speaker 10: of humor, you know, very dark humor.

28:42 Speaker 2: But hilarious. No one, it's going to make me laugh and.

28:46 Speaker 10: I guess it's funny because it's true. Right, Yeah, I

28:50 Speaker 10: think too.

28:50 Speaker 11: What you what you did too with that song is

28:52 Speaker 11: you kind of made it timeless.

28:53 Speaker 10: You know.

28:54 Speaker 11: It's one of those ones where I'm like, oh, is

28:56 Speaker 11: he talking about right now or is he talking about?

28:58 Speaker 11: Like what is it?

28:58 Speaker 10: What is it?

28:59 Speaker 11: Exactly? He's putting hitting the nail on the head on

29:01 Speaker 11: your right. You didn't you didn't put it in a box,

29:03 Speaker 11: which I thought was great too.

29:04 Speaker 10: Yeah that's true. Yeah, timeless, not only in terms of

29:08 Speaker 10: the lyrics, but in terms of the production because you

29:12 Speaker 10: could have told me that came from any point and

29:14 Speaker 10: I would have believed you, you know what I mean, Like,

29:17 Speaker 10: if you told me that was recorded in the seventies,

29:19 Speaker 10: I would have believed you. But but it was recorded now,

29:23 Speaker 10: and I obviously a few months it was recorded a

29:25 Speaker 10: few months ago. Yeah, and it's but so it's got

29:28 Speaker 10: that timeless quality to it, which I think is is

29:30 Speaker 10: really cool. You know. I also want to ask you,

29:34 Speaker 10: so you're also saying off air about because you're you're

29:37 Speaker 10: effectively I don't know if you even like the term

29:39 Speaker 10: maybe not one man band, but you were saying off air.

29:42 Speaker 10: I thought this was a really interesting, uh comment that

29:45 Speaker 10: people will kind of suggest other solo artists who do

29:49 Speaker 10: kind of what you do all the time, and and

29:52 Speaker 10: you avoid listening to those.

29:54 Speaker 2: It's uh yeah, I mean, if I hear it, it's fine,

30:00 Speaker 2: and I of course appreciate what they're doing because I'm

30:02 Speaker 2: doing the same thing, but I don't want it to

30:04 Speaker 2: get in my head kind of thing. Maybe it's a

30:11 Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it I don't like, I don't

30:14 Speaker 2: want to be too influenced by the techniques of what

30:17 Speaker 2: other people do. I can definitely appreciate them like I

30:21 Speaker 2: and if I'm playing a show with one. Of course

30:23 Speaker 2: it's fun to watch, but like I don't spend my

30:25 Speaker 2: time listening like seeking out other one man bands and

30:28 Speaker 2: listening to them. Yeah, you know, for me, the one

30:31 Speaker 2: man band thing, it's a means to an end. It's

30:33 Speaker 2: just I want to play my songs. But I don't

30:35 Speaker 2: want to play acoustic solo thing, which is great. I

30:42 Speaker 2: know so many people who are good at it. I

30:44 Speaker 2: am not good at it. I want to rock and

30:48 Speaker 2: roll and this is how I can do it, and

30:50 Speaker 2: this is how I can perform my songs and I

30:52 Speaker 2: love to perform, so yeah, yeah, it's it's just a

30:56 Speaker 2: way to do it.

30:57 Speaker 10: So when you're playing live, so you have an electric

31:00 Speaker 10: so you're not yeah, so you're not doing the singer

31:01 Speaker 10: songwriter thing with an acoustic No, and then you're stomping

31:05 Speaker 10: for the percussion, right.

31:06 Speaker 2: Yeah. I have a bass drum, a high hat, a guitar,

31:10 Speaker 2: and an amp. Yeah, and uh you know I that's

31:15 Speaker 2: how I do it. Yeah. I can load in and

31:17 Speaker 2: out of anywhere usually within ten minutes. Yeah, it doesn't

31:21 Speaker 2: take me long to set up and yeah, I go.

31:24 Speaker 10: You know, venues must love that they do well.

31:28 Speaker 2: It's funny because I'll play a lot of I play

31:30 Speaker 2: a lot of places, like smaller places, and they'll be

31:34 Speaker 2: they'll hear like the recorded material and they'll be like,

31:37 Speaker 2: you might be too loud, And I promise them I

31:39 Speaker 2: am not. Like I I'm very self aware of my

31:43 Speaker 2: tone how I want to sound, and I have done

31:46 Speaker 2: a lot of work to make sure I can capture

31:48 Speaker 2: that tone at pretty much any volume. Yeah, different wattage.

31:52 Speaker 2: So if I'm playing, if I were playing in here,

31:56 Speaker 2: I could make it work, right, you know, in this

31:59 Speaker 2: and I say in here, I can't see it, but

32:00 Speaker 2: it's a little room or on a big stage. Like

32:04 Speaker 2: I can adapt, so I can play smaller places and

32:09 Speaker 2: it's still sounds like me, but it's not going to

32:12 Speaker 2: stab anyone in the ear.

32:16 Speaker 10: So was it challenging to learn to do that? Because well,

32:20 Speaker 10: obviously so you actually this is something you mentioned off

32:23 Speaker 10: air too. You've also been a drummer, right, yes, drums,

32:25 Speaker 10: So obviously with drums, you know that's the one instrument

32:29 Speaker 10: where typically someone's using all four of their limbs. So

32:31 Speaker 10: maybe it wasn't challenging. I mean, was it challenging to

32:34 Speaker 10: learn to do well?

32:35 Speaker 2: No, I mean there was a little bit of time,

32:36 Speaker 2: but it came pretty natural because I tap my foot

32:39 Speaker 2: when I play. I'm really to tempo and feeling like

32:45 Speaker 2: I guess I hate the word but groove of what

32:48 Speaker 2: I'm doing. But I was just talking with a friend

32:51 Speaker 2: of mine the other day. While I'm doing it, I'm

32:53 Speaker 2: not thinking about everything I'm doing all at once. It's automatic,

32:58 Speaker 2: like it's just I'm just doing it. Like and if

33:01 Speaker 2: I'm singing, my concentration is on the singing. If I'm

33:05 Speaker 2: playing guitar solo, my concentrations on the guitar solo. What

33:09 Speaker 2: my feet are doing. I mean, I'm aware of them,

33:11 Speaker 2: but I'm not. If I start thinking about it, I

33:15 Speaker 2: will crash right right. And it's funny because I am

33:18 Speaker 2: I'm not a very coordinated person.

33:20 Speaker 10: Really.

33:20 Speaker 2: I joke with my old lady all the time like

33:23 Speaker 2: gravity is a lot stronger around me than anywhere else.

33:26 Speaker 2: I drop stuff, I constantly do, always bumping into things.

33:29 Speaker 2: Oh look like I'm moron when I'm loading stuff around.

33:33 Speaker 2: But when I'm sitting playing, yeah, it seems very graceful.

33:37 Speaker 10: It's like I am just not I can absolutely relate

33:41 Speaker 10: to that. Yeah. So yeah, so when you yeah, I

33:48 Speaker 10: remember the first time I saw somebody do anything like

33:50 Speaker 10: that was uh John hot years ago. Boy, this must

33:54 Speaker 10: have been like twenty years ago. I saw John Hyatt

33:56 Speaker 10: live and Conquered and and it was cool, you know,

34:00 Speaker 10: and he doesn't have like a little drum kit or anything.

34:02 Speaker 10: He would just stand out with his guitar. But he

34:05 Speaker 10: had there was a microphone obviously on the floor. They

34:07 Speaker 10: had the floor micd and he would, you know, start

34:09 Speaker 10: tapping his foot and it just sounded so cool.

34:11 Speaker 2: Oh yeah when he.

34:12 Speaker 10: Started doing that, because it surprises the audience a little

34:15 Speaker 10: bit too, because you know, he's just out there with

34:17 Speaker 10: his guitar, so you think he's just because it was

34:19 Speaker 10: an acoustic show. Obviously, he did a lot of tours

34:21 Speaker 10: where he played with a full band, but this particular

34:23 Speaker 10: tour is just an acoustic tour and it was just

34:24 Speaker 10: him and the guitar, so you almost don't expect it.

34:27 Speaker 10: And then he starts tapping and there's obviously a mic

34:29 Speaker 10: on the floor. It's like, oh, that sounds really good.

34:31 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's great. I mean I've seen before I

34:34 Speaker 2: started doing this, I had seen a few one man

34:37 Speaker 2: bands perform and I remember loving it but also thinking

34:41 Speaker 2: like I could do that. M h like I could

34:43 Speaker 2: do that, and I'd even tell people, you know, I

34:46 Speaker 2: could do that. Yeah, And eventually I did that well

34:49 Speaker 2: during COVID times my band wasn't playing, of course, yeah,

34:54 Speaker 2: and I got really bored. So that was when I

34:56 Speaker 2: started like practicing it, yeah, and doing it and putting

35:00 Speaker 2: up videos and stuff. And then once things start opening

35:05 Speaker 2: back up, I started playing with the drummer again and

35:07 Speaker 2: that was fine. And then, like I said, when I

35:10 Speaker 2: moved up to Auburn, Maine, I decided to just do

35:13 Speaker 2: it one man band. But no, I mean people have

35:18 Speaker 2: been doing it since forever. I mean, it's it's a

35:22 Speaker 2: I like it. It's kind of a Carney Carnie trick,

35:25 Speaker 2: you know, it's it's it's a sideshow thing, and it's

35:28 Speaker 2: it's I try not the I'm serious. The songs there's

35:33 Speaker 2: can be serious. They're funny and like, I'm serious about that,

35:36 Speaker 2: but I also realize it's pretty ridiculous, and like it's

35:39 Speaker 2: fun it's funny. Sure, it's funny to watch. I mean

35:42 Speaker 2: some people when they're watching it, they're just like, oh yeah, it's.

35:45 Speaker 11: Just I love it. It comes out of one person. I

35:48 Speaker 11: think it's cool. You've surrounded yourself with ways to different

35:51 Speaker 11: ways to express yourself, and I really enjoy it.

35:55 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, but it is I understand. I

35:58 Speaker 2: recognize that it's pretty funny.

36:03 Speaker 10: We should play another one. Let's see should we play

36:06 Speaker 10: what should we play?

36:07 Speaker 5: Oh?

36:08 Speaker 2: How She Dances is a fun one.

36:09 Speaker 11: Yeah, I want to learn about why you covered that

36:12 Speaker 11: because oh, I don't know if you want to talk

36:14 Speaker 11: about an hour after you. But like I was hoping

36:16 Speaker 11: that that would be the song i'd learn more about.

36:17 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd heard, oh yeah, I had heard it's I

36:21 Speaker 2: didn't write this, you know, it's I had heard one

36:24 Speaker 2: of my favorite artists, taff Falco and the panther Burns,

36:29 Speaker 2: do this song, and I remember I just loved it.

36:31 Speaker 2: I loved the whole Spieley gives and I remember thinking

36:35 Speaker 2: like I could do this song. Yeah, a long time ago.

36:37 Speaker 2: And then I like looked it up and realized, like,

36:41 Speaker 2: you know, I didn't think it was his song, but

36:44 Speaker 2: turns out it's just this old vaudevillian song from the

36:48 Speaker 2: like nineteen fifteen or something like that, and I was like, well,

36:52 Speaker 2: and this doesn't belong to anybody. I could definitely do

36:54 Speaker 2: this song. And you know, I think like any song

36:57 Speaker 2: like that, it gets changed. So this is my version.

37:00 Speaker 2: And I grew up an Old Orchard Beach, Maine, which

37:05 Speaker 2: you know, I'm part Carney. Like that was downtown Old Orchard.

37:09 Speaker 2: That's a lot of us who grew up there, especially

37:13 Speaker 2: like the time I grew up there, we started working downtown.

37:15 Speaker 2: I had my first job downtown hustling tourists when I

37:19 Speaker 2: was like twelve years old, you know. And a lot

37:22 Speaker 2: of it's hustling tourists. Some of it's just like food service.

37:26 Speaker 2: Some of them is trying to rope people in, just

37:28 Speaker 2: rip them off, playing an impossible game that they're not

37:31 Speaker 2: going to win, okay, you know. And I just the

37:35 Speaker 2: whole art of the circus and the traveling people just

37:41 Speaker 2: fleecing rubes. I just think it's hilarious and like humans

37:45 Speaker 2: are so easily manipulated and tricked into doing dumb stuff

37:51 Speaker 2: if they're told, yes, this is the right decision.

37:54 Speaker 10: Why is Old Orchard Beach like that specifically, just because.

37:58 Speaker 2: Well, it's a tourist town, but it's a it's it's

38:01 Speaker 2: one of the places in the Northeast. It's a working

38:03 Speaker 2: class vacation spot. It's where working people can afford to

38:08 Speaker 2: go where working people can afford to take their families

38:11 Speaker 2: and keep them entertained. There's games and rides. It's cheaper.

38:15 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not cheap, but it's cheaper than going

38:18 Speaker 2: to a gun Quit or Kenny Bunk or Booth Bay

38:21 Speaker 2: Harbor or Kadia or anywhere like that. It's it's kind

38:28 Speaker 2: of low grade entertainment for regular folks, okay. And so

38:33 Speaker 2: you get a lot of, you know, working class people.

38:35 Speaker 2: You get some affluent people, but most for the most part,

38:38 Speaker 2: it's just regular folks.

38:40 Speaker 10: Oh that's interesting.

38:42 Speaker 2: Okay.

38:42 Speaker 10: I was partly curious too, because I think I've only

38:44 Speaker 10: been there once. But the first time I ever saw

38:46 Speaker 10: a kiss was it older?

38:47 Speaker 2: Oh there you go? Yeah, yeah, that's a good band

42:35 Speaker 2: Good question, Well one of my I don't really believe

42:39 Speaker 2: in heroes, but let's say I was someone who believed

42:41 Speaker 2: in a hero. Sure how one of them would be

42:43 Speaker 2: screaming Jay Hawkins scream and Jay Howland Wolf as another

42:48 Speaker 2: guy I like named Lonesome Wyatt. I like the you

42:51 Speaker 2: know that title in Yeah my name you know it's Caleb,

42:57 Speaker 2: Aaron Colthard and Colethard is one of those names like

43:00 Speaker 2: in a loud room if if I tell people my name,

43:03 Speaker 2: they say what was that? And I'm like exactly right right.

43:06 Speaker 2: And it was actually my friend Heather who painted the

43:10 Speaker 2: cover of the new album. When she learned my real

43:15 Speaker 2: last last name, she was like cold Heart and I

43:17 Speaker 2: was like, yeah, exactly, Oh you know, yeah, I had

43:20 Speaker 2: heard that before. An old teacher in school used to

43:23 Speaker 2: say I had a cold heart, but no, yeah, crying

43:27 Speaker 2: Caleb was just It's just I needed a name, yeah,

43:30 Speaker 2: and that was came up with it and I asked

43:33 Speaker 2: a few people. I was like, what do you think

43:34 Speaker 2: of that? And They're like that's good. Yeah all right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:38 Speaker 10: Well, by the way Miriam said in the chat room,

43:40 Speaker 10: feeling a little Tom Waits thing in this, is he

43:43 Speaker 10: an influence on you? I didn't think of that until

43:46 Speaker 10: Miriam said that, but yeah, I can. I'm gonna hear it.

43:48 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean to to an extent. There's like three

43:51 Speaker 2: Tom Waits records I really like Yeah and Yeah. I

43:56 Speaker 2: like those three albums. He's a yeah. I mean, he's

44:01 Speaker 2: not my favorite, but I definitely the songs I like

44:04 Speaker 2: by him, I really really really like Yeah. But I'm

44:09 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's so much an influence. Maybe

44:13 Speaker 2: just it's in there somewhere. We know he's not a hero,

44:16 Speaker 2: no heroes. Yeah, it's good time.

44:22 Speaker 11: I felt like I had, like I told when Dan came,

44:25 Speaker 11: and I feel the same way about you.

44:26 Speaker 2: I woke up.

44:27 Speaker 11: I was in my house last night getting ready for

44:29 Speaker 11: bed as like musical Santa's coming tomorrow, musical. You may

44:33 Speaker 11: not be my hero, but you're my musical Santa. I

44:35 Speaker 11: couldn't sleep last night. I was I haven't actually met him.

44:38 Speaker 11: We've been talking online, I booked him and just getting

44:41 Speaker 11: to know each other. But I'm like, I actually get

44:43 Speaker 11: to meet him.

44:43 Speaker 2: To Yeah, oh that's cool.

44:45 Speaker 10: That's cool, very cool. Now what about so when is uh,

44:50 Speaker 10: have you started working on Cold Heart Volume two yet?

44:52 Speaker 2: Or well it's I okay. I put on an album

44:59 Speaker 2: called a few years ago and that was like my

45:02 Speaker 2: first solo record. And after that, over the last few years,

45:08 Speaker 2: I've recorded a lot, and then that was going to

45:13 Speaker 2: be the next album. But and then out of nowhere,

45:16 Speaker 2: I got a show in Massachusetts and I decided to

45:18 Speaker 2: make a weekend of it and book another show. While

45:22 Speaker 2: I was down there and studio time and recorded this

45:25 Speaker 2: and I was like, boom, that's a record. So I

45:27 Speaker 2: just put that out. But I still have all these

45:28 Speaker 2: recordings I've done that I really like. I think those

45:32 Speaker 2: are probably gonna come out in some shape or form.

45:38 Speaker 2: But cold Heart Volume two, I don't even know if

45:40 Speaker 2: that will be the next album, but there will be one.

45:43 Speaker 2: I imagine it'll be another one man band, live in

45:47 Speaker 2: the studio, once I get enough songs that I want

45:52 Speaker 2: to use that way because the other stuff I record,

45:54 Speaker 2: like my first album night Hoss and singles I've put out.

45:59 Speaker 2: When I record the actually record, I play drums and

46:02 Speaker 2: I play bass, and I do guitar and couples. Like

46:05 Speaker 2: I record it as a whole band. I'm still playing everything.

46:08 Speaker 2: I might have a guest play organ or something. I

46:11 Speaker 2: don't know how to play on it. But the live

46:15 Speaker 2: show is one man band, and that's why this new

46:18 Speaker 2: album is the closest to like, this is what I

46:21 Speaker 2: sound like live.

46:22 Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, yeah, no, that makes sense. That makes

46:24 Speaker 10: sense when you do some of the shows that you do,

46:27 Speaker 10: if you have to play a long time, so you

46:29 Speaker 10: mix in some covers.

46:30 Speaker 2: I saw the originals, Yes I do, Yeah, I do.

46:33 Speaker 2: You know old country songs. I I don't do anything

46:37 Speaker 2: I don't like, that's for sure, but I'll do a

46:40 Speaker 2: song I do Bela Lugosi's Dead by the bow House,

46:46 Speaker 2: a Forest by the Cure Echo and the Bunnyman Morrissey.

46:52 Speaker 11: You did one recently that or I don't know if

46:53 Speaker 11: you did it recently, but I watched it recently. Was

46:57 Speaker 11: opening for Rocky Horror Pictures show.

46:58 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Rocky Horror. That's a fun the science fiction

47:01 Speaker 2: double feature. Yeah, I'd be that one. Yeah, I kinks.

47:07 Speaker 2: You know, there's some songs I've known my whole life,

47:13 Speaker 2: but I've never actually played that. Like I played a

47:15 Speaker 2: show in Lewiston, near where I live, and I was

47:19 Speaker 2: playing a two hour show and on the way there

47:21 Speaker 2: I heard a whole lot of shaking going on by

47:23 Speaker 2: Jerry Lee Lewis. Now I've heard that song thousands of

47:26 Speaker 2: times probably, and I was like, I could play this.

47:29 Speaker 2: So while I was playing, I just start playing it.

47:31 Speaker 2: Oh really it's not it's three chords.

47:33 Speaker 10: Yeah.

47:33 Speaker 2: I just had to remember the words. And that was

47:34 Speaker 2: a blast, you know, like I Jerry Lee Lewis, Little

47:39 Speaker 2: Richard like you know stuff I do. Yeah, I do

47:42 Speaker 2: a lot of covers.

47:44 Speaker 10: It sounds like it sounds like though some of the

47:45 Speaker 10: covers you do might be there might be instances where

47:48 Speaker 10: people who are there don't necessarily realize their covers right

47:50 Speaker 10: because somebody not standard issue cover.

47:54 Speaker 2: I mean, I often I try not to take you know.

47:57 Speaker 2: I'll mention like the songs written by so and so

47:59 Speaker 2: or afterwards, I'll say it whether they hear it or not.

48:03 Speaker 2: But it's great if I'm playing for a group of like,

48:08 Speaker 2: you know, working dudes who like country music and then

48:11 Speaker 2: I throw an echo and the Bunnyman song they've never

48:13 Speaker 2: heard but they like it, or a cure song but

48:16 Speaker 2: they like it, and they don't even realize. It's like

48:19 Speaker 2: if they heard the original, they probably like, what right? Right?

48:23 Speaker 2: I really enjoy that, or the flip side of it,

48:26 Speaker 2: doing you know, a country song that a different audience

48:31 Speaker 2: might not be.

48:33 Speaker 11: You could do a sick rap cover if you found

48:35 Speaker 11: the right rap song.

48:36 Speaker 2: I used to, but in this day and age, I

48:38 Speaker 2: don't do the ones I used to do because the

48:41 Speaker 2: sense of humor, and of course there was nothing malicious

48:46 Speaker 2: in my my But I'm like, I'm not going to

48:51 Speaker 2: do those anymore.

48:53 Speaker 10: Understood, Yeah, understood, Yeah, yeah.

48:56 Speaker 6: Oh.

48:57 Speaker 10: The time goes quickly. I want to make sure we

48:59 Speaker 10: I want to make sure we get one more song in.

49:01 Speaker 10: But I also want to remind everybody, especially for people

49:03 Speaker 10: who are just joining us, about the show coming up

52:04 Speaker 2: My girlfriend always says, stop calling it the New Outer

52:06 Speaker 2: Limits because it's from the nineties, because the original show

52:09 Speaker 2: was in the sixties.

52:11 Speaker 2: Yeah, there was in the nineties. Okay, But this episode,

52:15 Speaker 2: particular episode is about someone who realizes there's something wrong

52:18 Speaker 2: with the moon and that the sun probably went nova

52:23 Speaker 2: and that as morning comes, everyone's going to be incinerated.

52:27 Speaker 2: So he decides to spend his last night on Earth

52:42 Speaker 2: be their last night on Earth together, but she doesn't

52:45 Speaker 2: realize that Earth is gonna be gone in the morning.

52:47 Speaker 2: When she finds out, she's kind of angry, like, why

52:50 Speaker 2: would I want to spend the rest of my life

52:52 Speaker 2: with you? Like I barely know you? But it's the

52:54 Speaker 2: outer limits so it gets more complicated. But anyway, it

52:58 Speaker 2: I just love that idea, yeah, of the end coming
