10:43 Speaker 4: Yeah, if I could just real quick, I just want to say that Dom they always teach you to eat while eat your fruits and vegetables, but yes, no one ever gets an intestinal parasite from eating a chocolate chip cookie, you know, right, I feel like I feel like.

10:58 Speaker 23: Did that happen to you?

10:59 Speaker 8: No?

11:00 Speaker 4: Okay, no, but I mean I'm I'm endorsing the eating of chocolate chip cookie.

11:45 Speaker 25: I am Sean Harris. I'm the lead guitar player.

11:47 Speaker 23: Welcome Sean, Welcome Sean.

11:49 Speaker 25: This is awesome.

11:50 Speaker 23: And of course the bass. Now I'm a bass player, so of course I have to give the big introduction to our our bass playing friend here who lays down the groove without you the band. I mean, you know you're the one who holds it all together, right, go ahead, sir? Yeah, I get.

12:06 Speaker 26: My name, film Walker, I played bass guitar, and.

12:11 Speaker 23: I feel that you know a space players. We have to stick together. We don't get enough love, we don't get enough recognition. And you, sir, you are, I mean you are the band really all right? Now I've gone too far.

12:22 Speaker 3: But I'm not going to step on any toes.

12:24 Speaker 23: But but I assume you also are not ill with I see, I don't know how to say it.

12:28 Speaker 4: Either spariasis, cyclo whatever.

12:35 Speaker 23: It's psycho something cyclo cyclo.

12:38 Speaker 4: Yeah, it sounds terrible.

12:39 Speaker 23: Whatever it is, you have yet to catch it. Good?

12:43 Speaker 3: Good?

12:43 Speaker 23: How do you get that it's from lettuce? Is it from?

12:45 Speaker 3: Yeah?

12:46 Speaker 4: Lettuce is the main cause?

12:47 Speaker 23: Yeah, because Jenny and I had Taco Bell last night. But I don't think there was any lettuce in it, though, I don't think they're currently putting lettuce in the right. Didn't they stop that because.

12:56 Speaker 4: Taco Bell I, I guess stopped putting lettuce in, So I don't. I mean, who would have thought that something, some intestinal thing problem would come from Taco Bell.

13:05 Speaker 24: There is a suspicion of Cilantro and Jlipinos too, So is it for real?

13:09 Speaker 3: You're bat and not good with Wow.

13:12 Speaker 23: We have taken our lives in our hands with our our culinary choices. Well, well culinary or culinary either way, exactly exactly. I do have a colonoscopy coming up. But anyway, uh, tiam I apologize, but I do. I do really like uh the sound, I mean, I really like you know, I was talking earlier about we'll have to play it later in the show. My parasite it's my personal favorite of the songs that you sent me. But but I really like the sound. How do you guys describe Elder p Sloan? Because you know, I couldn't think of anybody, at least from around here who really quite sounds like you guys.

13:45 Speaker 4: I mean, how do you compliment? You know, I like the fact that we don't particularly sound like anybody. Yeah, yeah, comes to mind.

13:53 Speaker 3: Yeah, so familiar yet different. It's the favorite thing I've heard.

13:58 Speaker 23: Really.

13:58 Speaker 25: It's kind of a mixture genres too. Yeah, we have like some beast punk songs, and we also have like a heavy tune Burned the Witch, which sounds like a thrash metal song. Yeah, and yeah, so it's kind of all over the place with the genres.

14:17 Speaker 23: I feel like there's also almost like an eighties sort of sleevez rock kind of vibe to some of it. Yeah, you know, it kind of fits in with that.

14:24 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's definitely he's involved. I would argue with that.

14:29 Speaker 23: There you go, There you go. Have you guys been around a while? Have you been around a long time?

14:33 Speaker 4: Or on Earth or the band?

14:36 Speaker 23: Well, I suppose one would follow the other necessarily.

14:40 Speaker 4: It's actually the first inception of the band started in twenty twenty two.

14:45 Speaker 23: Okay, oh so it is relatively pretty new.

14:47 Speaker 4: Yes, but we've gone through some changes. Our original guitar player was diagnosed with MS in twenty twenty.

14:54 Speaker 3: Oh wow, oh.

14:56 Speaker 4: Ron Santarella shout out to him. He's unable to play anymore, unable to walk. Great, dude still follows the band still supports us, but we've gone through some changes. But this current lineup get together in what twenty five? Oh wow, We're We're clicking on all cylinders right now. It's I'm very excited about where we're going right now.

15:17 Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. What what's the process like in terms of putting these songs together? Like who do you all write together? Or how does that? How does that work?

15:26 Speaker 4: Currently we're we're in the in the mode of starting to collaborate. Alge Pieces started as a solo project of my own, and then a friend of mine contacted me talked about making it in a live experience, a full blank, full band experience. Yeah, and it was really hard because you need you know, it takes a special dedication from people not only to be in a band, but to be in an original band because because i mean, if money is your driving force. You're you're going to be real disappointed really quickly.

16:01 Speaker 23: Yeah.

16:02 Speaker 4: But but these guys, you know, you know, I put an ad up. These guys answered at the ad, and I could not be more thrilled. I mean, these guys bring all different personalities to the mix, all different you know, obviously everybody has very different influences and inspirations and stuff. So I feel like it all just it gells really well. Yeah, and I feel like the energy that we have in a room is is uh is pretty evident right away.

16:31 Speaker 23: So the next question I was going to ask you about you might have answered it because you know the obvious one. Where does the name come from? Elder p Sloan? But it sounds like was that the so that was the name you were using as a for the solo.

16:42 Speaker 4: Prom Yeah, yes, yes it is, okay, but that's not your name, correct?

16:47 Speaker 23: So where? So where does the name come from?

16:52 Speaker 4: To me? The two biggest motivations for me in life are driven by fear and disrespect. This happened to be a day that I felt a little disrespected at work, you know, just underappreciated and stuff like that. So I decided in my angry state. I go use the facilities and and mull over my life choices.

17:19 Speaker 3: Yeah, you see where this is going.

17:23 Speaker 23: I don't know that I do.

17:24 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm not sure it's good.

17:28 Speaker 23: Different ways.

17:30 Speaker 4: I'm in there feeling bad about myself and thinking, you know, okay, I feel completely underappreciated, disrespected where I'm where I'm working, and I'm like, what's more disrespected than a public urinal? So I'm doing my thing, and it was, it was, it was right right in front of me. I'm like, I just I took the words Elder and the words Sloan, and I added the p myself and that it's pretty much how it's how it's started as a joke and then it just kind of like snowball to the point that it's funny.

18:06 Speaker 25: When I first joined the band, I'm looking it up online to see, you know, what kind of web presence they have, and it's Yeah, all I find is like toiletrya part what?

18:17 Speaker 23: Okay? So the so to be clear, so the so the urinal Huh, it says Elder Sloan.

18:24 Speaker 4: I said Elder on the porcelain party and they're getting rare. Yeah.

18:28 Speaker 25: Really, it's actually owned by another company a standard as something Bottom started.

18:34 Speaker 4: The band now would be called Cooler.

18:36 Speaker 23: Piece, Gotcha, gotcha? So that's so that's where the name comes from.

18:44 Speaker 4: Really yeah, and it just it just it put an album together with with some some friends and put the name, put it out there, and it just kind of stuck and it I just rolled with it from there. And yeah, and I used to try to say, you know, I didn't like to tell people where it came from. I kind of wanted them to figure it out themselves, right.

19:04 Speaker 23: So, but yeah, because in theory, I mean, you could make up any story you wanted, right.

19:09 Speaker 4: I did, and I usually do. Yeah, I'm not even sure if this one is true, so.

19:15 Speaker 3: Really no, I'm just kidding.

19:19 Speaker 23: Well, very good. So so that started out as your solo project, correct, And then did you did you perform live as doing these songs solo or wait until you had a band?

19:29 Speaker 4: It was always studio recordings. I had a drummer friend, Doyle Barnes, who you know, did all the drum parts on the last two albums that I put together. And then it was a community of musicians. Local guy Byron Marx played some guitar on It had six or seven guitar players when I needed someone that could actually play as opposed to me, you know, and it just became. It started as a solo project, and then it came became very communal. So I wanted to make clear that I am not alger piece alone. This is just a project, right.

20:07 Speaker 4: But yeah, when when a friend Dave Castle approached me in twenty twenty two and said, hey, why don't we take these songs live and see what they sound like? And it was amazing to hear these guys come into a room and give their interpretation. The songs are different. I mean, everybody brings their own personality to what we're doing. Yeah, and you compare our live shows to the studio stuff, and it's it's it's it's very different because it's like the first thing I said to everybody, I'm like, don't think of these as my songs.

20:38 Speaker 4: I want you to bring who you are to this band. And it's gonna be it's it's gonna evolve in ways we're as a group. We're probably not sure how they're gonna it's gonna happen, but it's just it's just feul. Every all the pieces fell into place, and uh, I could not be more thankful or grateful for these four guys for what we do.

21:03 Speaker 23: Obviously you're happy with the end result, as you should be. But was it hard for you at all to kind of to say, you know, don't think of these as my songs, you know, just bring bring whatever you're going to bring into because for some people it would be kind of hard to let go of that control. But it sounds like in your case it wasn't like maybe you were excited about it because it's it's an adventure right when that happens.

21:23 Speaker 4: I honestly I was. I was completely honored by the fact that people took interest in what I was doing. Yeah, So that to me was was, you know, all I needed to to want to move this forward. So yeah, that was that was huge. Of course we stopped making money that I'll make clear that I wrote these songs.

21:39 Speaker 23: Right right, you know you do own the publishing, right, That's the That's the key.

21:45 Speaker 3: I'm out when we're done, that's the key.

21:49 Speaker 23: That's the key. Well, I think we should play another one of these studio tracks, and if you don't mind, I would like to be selfish and play my parasite because that is my favorite of the three of the us and anything we should know about this song before we before we play it.

22:01 Speaker 4: It actually has nothing to do with cyclosis.

22:04 Speaker 3: That didn't see.

22:05 Speaker 23: I didn't even make that connection until you said it. I didn't even think of that, So it has nothing to do with that. Does it have to do with any kind of parasite or is it strictly a A Well, you know.

22:17 Speaker 4: It's funny because I hate to give away the meaning of songs because I like to have people come up with their own interpretations. But this is more it's pretty simplified. It's about somebody not letting their self conscious thoughts keep them from being who they are, just kind of letting go. And the concept is some guy gets this this brain I'm not gonna say brain worm, because you.

22:45 Speaker 23: Know, then we're back to parasites, right, but it.

22:51 Speaker 4: Would just just basically it was something that enabled him to all right, stop thinking twice and just live the life he wants to live and not think about consequences.

23:00 Speaker 23: Okay, okay, all right, very good. Yeah, this is my favorite. This is called My Parasite and the band is alder P Sloan.

23:15 Speaker 14: Oh.

23:23 Speaker 8: Who know, there I go again doing things I can't comprehend because that's I am lim in.

23:29 Speaker 13: With my parasite. But what must have been it.

23:33 Speaker 14: Has his youth.

23:34 Speaker 8: If my bad is the goods you So it's all right, son, sign all.

23:39 Speaker 14: Die to night.

23:41 Speaker 13: When they say that's a tennessee.

23:43 Speaker 8: See way, I'm I'm memorised, but laying I'm fine.

23:47 Speaker 13: Wait a minute, what was I saying?

23:58 Speaker 8: Oh, I used to I ain't got your fight with already out I have to say, don't come tramp dude, and what other people thought out my brain just don't care to be a visual Maian's security out afrehend them and well off.

24:20 Speaker 10: To be a Rigromian's security out.

24:22 Speaker 13: I tend to repeat myself.

24:25 Speaker 10: Because things don't come to those away.

27:33 Speaker 14: Minute?

27:36 Speaker 23: Uh, it is so good. That is my parasite. The band is elder Piece Sloan, and we've got the guys from the band, the entire band here in studio with this, which is cool because very often uh not not, especially when it's a five piece band, not everybody can make it. So I appreciate all you guys being here today. Uh, this is this is great. Has it always been like from the point that it became a band, has it always been a five piece or.

27:58 Speaker 4: Initially it was actually four? Okay, but but yeah, it always sounded like there was something missing live without that second guitar, and Tommy was missing link there. So yeah, so yeah, we're definitely a fuller rounder sound now with two guitars.

28:19 Speaker 23: Okay, okay, yeah, And where did you guys record? Where did you record the all these songs?

28:25 Speaker 4: These were actually most of them were recording at my house, my little portable studio, and then they were mastered by a friend used to work at a place called Super Dupes, which I don't believe exists.

28:40 Speaker 23: Oh I remember super Dupes. Yeah, yeah, they were in Salem, right yep, yep.

28:45 Speaker 4: Clint Tone or Clint Levy was the one that mastered them. And so it was obviously it was like a thirteen dollars budget that I was working with. So, I mean, Better Day was actually the first one that we all got together, this this lineup and re recorded it and uh Seon did it all the mixing and mastering himself, and uh, I can't wait now that now that we've got that under our belts. I can't wait to start doing the same process with it, with with everything else, not everything, but you know, the collectively what we want to try to do and collaborating to because these guys do writing, and so I'm really excited about seeing where where we can go as a band when we start, you know, piecing things together, new stuff.

29:31 Speaker 4: So that's that's super exciting.

29:33 Speaker 23: Absolutely. Now, have you guys been playing a lot of shows or like, what what's the summer been like for you guys who have you been busy or.

29:41 Speaker 25: Fairly busy. We've had a couple of gigs that wanted termin as underground.

30:11 Speaker 25: It's off in the woods and you wouldn't expect it, but it's really nice inside. It's kind of like decorated a lot, like uh, termed as Underground.

30:19 Speaker 23: Yeah yeah, we were talking off air about Terminus while the song was on, and uh, you know we should give a shout out because I know too sometimes they listen to Eleanor and Andre from Terminus because you guys had played there.

32:07 Speaker 23: Oh pretty good?

32:08 Speaker 3: If we leave a gap or no gap?

32:10 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, probably what'd you say r R an.

32:14 Speaker 24: R If you haven't, if you don't recognize the accent, that's uh Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania suburb.

32:22 Speaker 3: Oh so yeah, I'll refrain from Yen's and all the stuff.

32:27 Speaker 23: Yes, that's what's Yes, somebody somebody else because we had a I don't know if you know grim Rock. He's from Pittsburgh and he played actually he played it well. He was coming through the area, so he was on the show. He's been on the show a bunch, but a few months ago he was on the show in person because he was in the area to play a show in Nashua at the Spot, and but he was Yeah, he was telling me about that the.

32:51 Speaker 24: Yan's accent, gum band, chips, chipped Ham. That's all kind of stuff. There is all kind of stuff, And a lot of people really get confused talking to me because I lived in the South for a little while and then I blend New England.

33:08 Speaker 23: See I can hear it.

33:09 Speaker 24: Yeah, heck is this guy from Yeah? Yeah, what brought you here? What brought you to New England? Yeah, it was actually a job. My wife always wanted to get up to New England. Yeah, and you know, just kind of following that hero's journey call when something calls and said, you go talk a path.

33:31 Speaker 3: And here I am.

33:33 Speaker 24: Yeh'b have been about twelve years now, Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, I love it.

33:37 Speaker 23: Yeah, do you ever do you still ever say ens and stuff like that? Pretty much?

33:42 Speaker 3: I'll reserve it for fellow people from Pittsburgh. I think on it, you know.

33:49 Speaker 24: Yeah, yeah, I mean the first time it was funny, short little work story Jeff and I and recently I got really harassed out of me. This is saying something on the machine like Dow like a dial oh, but like you know, we build machinery. It's like Dow, What the heck is that guy talking about the odorant?

34:09 Speaker 7: What? What?

34:10 Speaker 14: What is that?

34:10 Speaker 23: It's like, well, how do you spell that? I try to spell it in the text.

34:14 Speaker 10: They are.

34:17 Speaker 4: Trans at work.

34:18 Speaker 23: Yeah, there you go.

34:20 Speaker 3: I mean I like to think I'm not as bad as like Boom or something like that. Right right, he means that's wicked awesome.

34:31 Speaker 23: Are you guys actively writing new material or or are you are you just kind of focused on like what you have right now? In terms of songs, I write.

34:41 Speaker 25: A lot of riffs and I put them up on our shared drive and so Dave can listen to him and put some lyrics to it. Yeah, and we're just getting starting that really, but yeah, I'm looking forward to getting getting a new album more at the material with this lineup.

34:56 Speaker 23: Oh no doubt, Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, absolutely, well we should play another Uh, we should play another track. Let's see you also sent us. Oh so tell us about this one wolf? Oh yeah, what should we know about this track before we play?

35:13 Speaker 4: Well, real real quickly. One of the first lgbe Loan gig was at a motorcycle club in Derry for a group called Section eight. And I was intimidated, really, I mean, I hadn't played live in many years. And uh and we we played, and these guys were so receptive and so so supportive and everything. And there was one guy in particular, Eric Russell they call Big Worm, who right out of the blue just just gave me this big bear hug and you welcome me and everything like that. And he he passed away in a car accident in twenty twenty four and it's such a such a huge loss and such a big personality.

35:58 Speaker 4: But all I remember is the time we played there. By the end of the song he was singing along with the chorus and and uh so whenever we play that now, it's it's it's definitely kind of a shout out to him, and that's where this love life hat came from. This is his his mantra. Yeah, so I think that song is it's taken on such a such a huge life of its own when we play live, especially when it's when it's front of in front of those guys. So it's uh yeah, so it's it's it's just about it's just about, you know, persevering and regardless who he what, what size you are, you know, male, female, doesn't matter.

36:40 Speaker 4: It's just it's just being being strong in the moment. And that's basically the idea of it.

36:46 Speaker 23: So yeah, because you've got that line in there, it's not the size of the dog in the fight. It's the size of the fight and the dog.

36:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, Tommy likes to push me around on stage because he's like six foot eight with the four inch heels that he wears.

36:58 Speaker 3: Trying to get the big dog, little dog met gotcha, gotcha?

37:03 Speaker 4: So I've got some bruises.

37:06 Speaker 23: All right, Well let's give this a spin. This is called Wolf and the band is Elder p Sloan.

37:14 Speaker 13: The side of the dog.

37:40 Speaker 10: Go ahead and show me all team.

37:44 Speaker 8: Said if that mind and timis did me, but don't judge me by my stature.

37:58 Speaker 13: We see things to bro Lee now in himself is fine with me.

38:07 Speaker 8: Until respect he cooks one wear streets. I guess he's everything happens for a breeze.

38:14 Speaker 13: On and that way a breezer wall can't have.

38:19 Speaker 8: But it's not siding the dog in the fighting side the fighting the doll. Now, I hope you want to stem but they uther know white blacksmi plail.

38:44 Speaker 13: So he's your one last cham.

38:48 Speaker 14: You can cheap time here, you can carry on.

38:52 Speaker 13: But if you chills the night the fulls, you're gonna get the bomb.

38:56 Speaker 10: Because it's not the.

38:58 Speaker 8: Size of the dog in the fighting side the fight the doll. You know you'll fight his cheese, the saddle feedle desty, you're the nine dog can be asleep. I guess him everything having more braza that where where Now it's not sign the doll in the fighting side of the fight the doll not.

39:59 Speaker 13: Siding the dog.

40:00 Speaker 16: The sides of the dog and the fight and the side.

40:10 Speaker 8: Of the and the dough.

40:43 Speaker 23: That is called Wolf and the band is Elder P. Sloan. And we've got all five members of Elder P. Sloan here with us in studio and having a great time. I love these tunes quite a bit, and uh that Yeah, I would imagine that one gets a good, good reaction, live a lot of a lot of energy to that one.

41:02 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a fun one. Yeah, I enjoy playing that one.

41:04 Speaker 23: Yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt Are there are when you because you know you were talking earlier about how this started as a solo project. Did any of those Did any of that material not make it into the band version?

41:19 Speaker 4: It's quite a bit. Definitely. I feel like I don't like the pigeonhole us into a specific genre or feel like we have to have a certain sound. But there's it's it's undeniable that there's certain songs that I recorded that probably wouldn't work in in this in you know, in this atmosphere. But at the same time, I think it's it's it's uh, definitely, we we've found our niche. We feel like we we we found our own identity, personality. And as much as I don't like to think that we can't do a certain song, there's definitely everybody has their sound, whether they you know, I want to admit it or not.

42:05 Speaker 4: You know, there's a certain something.

42:07 Speaker 9: There's four CDs worth of material it. Yes, wow, yeah, it's a lot. Well you got a right right now the mic brother.

42:21 Speaker 4: Oh and there's seventeen songs ready for playing.

42:24 Speaker 23: Oh wow, okay, that's he's quite a catalog. Yeah, this is quite a bit.

42:28 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it is funny when I listened to the recording a Wolf and stuff like that, Like, I like John's bass, for instance, I'm like, man, because I played the bass on the recording, and then I hear John play it live, I'm like, oh my god, I'm I can't believe I did that. He's just I mean, what he brings, it's just, you know, it's just amazing. All these guys bring so much to make these songs, just bring them to a completely new level. So I like, that's another one. I can't wait to re record and see what it sounds like.

43:00 Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm like I said, I can't say how how how grateful I am for you know, for for what we put together, no doubt.

43:09 Speaker 23: Yeah. Yeah. Now, are there any bands in the area that you guys play a lot of shows with that you kind you know, it happens sort of organically in my experience, maybe you know other bands that you've kind of teamed up with unofficially where you end up playing a lot of shows.

43:20 Speaker 4: Or not a lot. I mean, I feel like, you know, Burn, permitt Is one, super Bug, Nathan Hill Trio, Diamond Edge Band.

43:32 Speaker 23: Yeah nice.

43:35 Speaker 4: I feel horrible about leaving leaving bands.

43:38 Speaker 23: Out, but Diamond Judge they're probably the most common, right Yeah, yeah, Diamond Judge. I saw it swarming Fast a couple of years ago for the first time. Yeah, they play out a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

43:50 Speaker 4: I think we're going to be on a bill with them two weeks in a row because they're playing the Party the fifth and they're playing the music for MS.

44:00 Speaker 23: Okay, good good, Burn Permit. I feel like I've been hearing about for a long time, but I've never had them on the show. I don't actually know them. And of course super Bug they've been they were on just recently. Yeah, they're amazing.

44:11 Speaker 4: Yep, great, great band.

44:12 Speaker 23: Yeah. You guys kind of have that sound though, too, where you can fit in with a lot of different you know, it seems like, you know, you can fit in with a lot of different genres.

44:21 Speaker 4: I think that definitely helps as far as getting shows because we don't necessarily you know, it's it's not like we Yeah, I feel I feel like there's a groove to us, there's a heaviness to us. But we could play with funk bands, we could play with metal bands. We can, you know. I think that that helps. And I like a diverse lineup too.

44:41 Speaker 3: I like to know.

44:42 Speaker 4: I think most people, most music fans, don't just listen to one particular genre, you know, depending on mood and stuff. So it's just it's really exciting. And we played with

44:55 Speaker 4: was that we did Stone Church. It was an open mic but I mean it was a band called g Again. It was just like a hip hop kind of They're great, but I mean Terminus. We played with The Forum and tumble Toads, which I mean, what a diverse lineup and great great bands, you know, and it's it's so exciting to to meet new bands and bands you know that you you want to get together with and and know that that there's no competitiveness. Everybody's just all in it for the same reason because we love music and and that's awesome.

45:36 Speaker 4: It's it's hard to put a monetary value on something like that.

45:39 Speaker 23: Absolutely, Do you guys have any favorite favorite venues that you really love to play? Any any anything? That really stands out the.

45:47 Speaker 4: Matt Connerton Unleashed show one of you. But in all honesty, you know, we're talking you know about Terminus and what Eleanor and Andre do, but what you do for the local community and and you know, for for music and stuff, it's it's it's such a selfless thing. I'm saying with Terry and Mike and Lloyd at Charlie's.

46:12 Speaker 25: Hill and Charlie Hill, you know, playing that.

46:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, there's just so many people that they care about music and and and uh, you know, sometimes we focus on all the atrocities and the horrible things going on in the world, but then you you if you stop and take a breath, and you're like, you know, there's some really good people around doing some really great things. And uh, you know, we're definitely honored to be here, but honored for the fact what you do for everybody, so.

46:39 Speaker 23: Oh thank you. Well, you know, glad to do it. That's not that selfless. I mean I get a lot out of it.

46:44 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, no, I mean but I mean yeah, but I mean you're given an opportunity to people that just wouldn't have that opportunity. You and Jen you know, I'm a huge supporter of Jen and uh, you know, with with her personal you know, things she's gone through, and she's she's she's you know, she makes me want to be better at what.

47:05 Speaker 23: Oh that's awesome, though, I hope she's I know she's getting ready for she's got a big event today. I don't know if she's still listening now or not, but I'll make sure that she goes back in YEARSOO say that if if she's not listening live, because I know that that kind of thing means a lot to her.

47:19 Speaker 4: I definitely look up to her and people that you know, fight the good fight.

47:24 Speaker 23: Yeah, exactly, exactly, absolutely, we have time. We should play another track before we before we have to come, you know, and then we'll come back and wrap up and remind everybody uh where to find you guys? But what should we You sent me those three, but I can grab one from your website. Uh if we want to play another one?
