1:16 Speaker 1: That well, so that gets complicated a little bit because no, which version. Yeah, because it started there's been many iterations of this program. It started as a podcast in twenty eleven. In twenty seventeen, April of twenty seventeen, we won't be April before long, we'll be approaching another anniversary.

1:32 Speaker 3: Oh my god.

1:34 Speaker 1: In April of twenty seventeen, we had the opportunity to bring the show to wm and H ninety five point three FM, where we continue to this day. But there's also at one point there was a television version of the show, and there's been all kinds of different versions of the show. But it's been a while. It's been a while, but it's amazing. Thank you, Thank you well. It is wonderful to have you here. And we're doing something unique this week because you are here with us, not only for this hour, but the third hour of the show as well, because you have this amazing new project and we're going to uh, we're going to listen to it today and we're gonna talk about it.

2:07 Speaker 3: As I appreciate you having me on.

2:10 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, and and tell us what this is. Tell us this is.

2:13 Speaker 3: Called the bread Man. A bread time story okay, okay, so it is a Victorian setting m h story about love triangle revolving around bread. Okay, a bread time story.

2:34 Speaker 5: Did you say bread?

2:35 Speaker 3: Bread as okay? Delicious bread? Oh? I thought so, I thought so, mm hmm. It's uh, it's really I think it's old school meets new school. We have some narration between each song, okay, to set up the scene in the listener's mind. Oh, listener's mind, okay. And that's kind of the I think the unique fun part about listening to this as a listener imagination as well as a little direction, which I think we all need in life.

3:06 Speaker 1: Sure, sure, what inspired you to do this?

3:09 Speaker 3: And and oh and.

3:11 Speaker 1: Clarify for us too, Uh, what do you call this? Is it a is it a concept album? Is it a rock opera?

3:19 Speaker 3: Yes? Okay?

3:20 Speaker 1: And and why and why is it?

3:23 Speaker 6: And why?

3:24 Speaker 3: Bread? And a love triangle? The yeast knows no boundaries. I'm just making that up. Its stemmed from an idea during a musical jam session with some friends. In this concept, I just started playing the riff. Like a lot of people that do music and are creative. You get an idea, yes, and you got to write it down. You gotta get it, you got to put it somewhere. It vanishes. This idea of the original riff of the Red Man fifteen years ago really at my friend's house who I work with. Doctor H is his name.

4:09 Speaker 1: I think you've mentioned doctor H.

4:12 Speaker 3: Doctor H. Fantastic Type A personality to the extreme. Oh, meaning Type A is a person that is very structured, uniformed, and when they get going on something, that's all that's happening, and you just get you just absorb into it. Yeah. Yeah, I'm what's the other what what are the other types? I know this type A because the band is that I'm not to band this project. It's called The bread Man, a bread Time story band being type A. Okay, okay, so Ricky Mapleton, of course myself is the I originated it.

4:49 Speaker 3: I don't want to grab the whole thing, sure, but the original concept of bread the bread Man coming coming for you. Oh. A lot of different layers in all seriousness, getting away from the money python esque of this. Yes, but there's a lot of layers in this music. Be careful what you wish for. Love may not conquer all, there's just a lot of things that I think people will get out of this if you give it a just give it. I know it's hard to grab some time. But if I think, if you, if you listen to this, I think you'll hopefully be moved a little bit and get you thinking about life in retrospective while we getting heavy and there is there also a lot of money Python to this.

5:33 Speaker 3: Okay, so on the other swing of this money python Victorian hed there she's a witch burner. Okay, I don't you know the money the holy grail sort of goofiness abstract. Okay. Also, well that's I don't know if I explained it correctly.

5:52 Speaker 1: Well that's uh but uh, we're going to of course play the whole thing today. Uh so we're we're we're the whole loaf.

6:00 Speaker 3: You might say, yes, yes, yes, And there are some of those sort of ideas and jokes during this performance. I believe, oh good, good, don't loaf around all sorts of stuff a little in the window. I'm not intend those little shots about talking about bread, okay, because bread is the staff of life. M Okay, Gluten analogies are not gluten analogies. Bread is been around for a long time. I believe the gluten is uh. The rest song called well I don't want to give away no, no, no no, but it does. It does veer into the world of gluten, red yeast flower, but it also involves around l O V E. Love.

6:41 Speaker 3: I don't even know what gluten is. I just like saying the word gluten basically is flower. Okay, so something made of flower, it's gluten some water to it, it's it's so people that have gluten allergies. Yeah, that's a big catchphrase nowadays. Yes, okay, which I understand. But we could talk about glue analogies for a long time. Yes, I think we might talk about it. As we start to start our rock opera excursion, I want to thank all the musicians before we get started on this. I maybe upset a few people along the way.

7:16 Speaker 3: Oh my, I upset myself. A lot of tension happened throughout the years with this. Really yeah, there was a whole beautiful stuff with the mockumentary we're making. Okay, so in the world, in my world, I want to thank all the musicians though are on this. You guys are awesome, and the listeners that are listening to you guys, and you Matt fav me on. Of course, I really hope you guys really like this, and just take five seconds, just sit here for five minutes. Take out some bread. Listeners, sit down for your favorite bread.

7:42 Speaker 3: Let's just listen, listen, and get your imagination cap on.

7:46 Speaker 1: Well, very good, So we'll open with the prologue. Yes, baking bread.

7:51 Speaker 3: Now the prologue, there is about thirty seconds of somebody making bread, sounds going into it, okay, before it breaks into the music. So yeah, so I'm just gonna leave it at that. Did I like that or not? I think it's a it's a whole journey. Let's go. Yes, let's go. Let's go break out some bread and get some jam. And let's go. Let's make some bread. All right, here we.

8:11 Speaker 7: Go, well to the show.

9:01 Speaker 8: Before we get started, to sit back, relax, grab some of your favorite bread. Maybe put some butter, peanut, butter.

9:10 Speaker 9: Jee, it doesn't matter.

9:12 Speaker 8: Pick your favorite topping, put it on your bread, and get ready for a journey back in time. This story, though timeless, takes place about five hundred years ago. It's a love story, a tragedy of a young baker. The bread man who dreams about living in the castle up on the hill, and a beautiful young princess who lives in that castle and dreams about being with the baker boy. This is their story.

9:48 Speaker 1: So there we there we have the prologue, yes, uh, prologue, and we're by the way. I learned something there. I didn't even know they had bread five hundred years ago. One was bread invented. It's old than our country. I just assumed it was invented by It.

10:03 Speaker 3: Was around during uh uh Romani even before that.

10:08 Speaker 1: Wow, that's amazing. So we've always had bread.

10:12 Speaker 3: We've always had that yeast of flower. It's been around a long time. Wow, that's amazing. That's amazing.

13:57 Speaker 3: I just he sees the castle from the bakery. Yes, in the bakery. He's looking out the window, and he sees the castle up on the hill. Yeah. And he's just like a lot of us when we're younger, even when we get older, we're dreaming about something else. Yes, So he sees his life now, it's not very good. He's making bread for his mean father who gets him over the head with a bag at Oh my god. Okay, that's just rude. Yeah. So he's has he's having a rough, rough childhood. Yeah okay, and that's kind of so he's having those dreams of some day.

14:36 Speaker 3: So that was that. That gentleman's name was Ryan Fitzpatrick. Oh okay. He does a lot of the singing on this. Oh okay, wonderful, wonderful. All right.

14:45 Speaker 1: Uh so next we have let's see feeling low down?

14:49 Speaker 3: Is this track number three?

14:50 Speaker 1: Yes, feeling low down, feeling low down? All right, Let's let's continue our story.

14:55 Speaker 3: Let's continue eating some nice bread here.

14:59 Speaker 8: The young baker spends his childhood dreaming about living in the castle. At age ten, something magical happens. The princess starts visiting the bakery. She's in charge of picking up the weekly bread for the castle and making sure that it gets delivered safely. She becomes quite smitten with the baker boy. They begin to sneak off to spend time together. The young Baker's father eventually decides to open a new bakery and a far off land, and he leaves the bakery to the young baker, who is now officially the bread man.

15:43 Speaker 8: The princess is excited about being able to visit without the old man around. However, the king decides that he doesn't like her spending so much time away from the castle, and he only allows her to visit town once a month. It's been a month since she last visited the bread man.

16:22 Speaker 6: Oh oh.

16:38 Speaker 17: Oh, common down the mountain, calm that mountain, very flow.

17:12 Speaker 12: Around the mountain.

17:16 Speaker 6: Around the mountain.

17:19 Speaker 18: As she's gone, well.

17:29 Speaker 15: I feel load down, so dyllod down value, but I feel load down.

17:50 Speaker 6: So lload It's true.

17:55 Speaker 8: As the month waits, the bred man struggles with his infatuation with the princess and his goal to someday live in the castle. Will he find a way to marry the princess? Will he be adored by the villagers? Will he someday be the king?

18:18 Speaker 1: Interesting to me that, you know, I thought in the beginning that he didn't want anything to do with the family business. But it's not that he just wanted to get away from his dad. He clearly he still wants to make bread.

18:32 Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm not sure. I mean, that's what it seems like. I don't think he likes his father because he's abusing him, and I don't think he likes making bread, pull up like it.

18:42 Speaker 1: And I don't think he likes making bread. Yeah, and I don't think. But he is the bread man. I mean, that's his whole identity, isn't not?

18:49 Speaker 3: No, that's sort of the identity that we're giving him. Oh okay, I don't think he walks around with I am the bread man. I love my bread, bread, my bakery. Yeah, he's kind of born into that life. Okay, he's fighting, yes, but he now is in love with the princess?

19:09 Speaker 19: Well?

19:09 Speaker 20: Is he?

19:10 Speaker 1: Is he in love with or infatuated? Whether at this point.

19:12 Speaker 3: Both well, I don't want to give stuff away, okay, but right now, as far as the listener is concerned, yes, he is infatuated. Okay, and as the dough rises, if you would, ah, there we got so let's try it. Okay, you're you're the first one, right. What did you say earlier? The wow, the bread, the roll? I don't remember, so we always want to throw in bread reference? Yes, yes, so let's roll along with the well played sir, yep, I get one a day. I like fun all right? Track three? Track four? Track four?

19:54 Speaker 3: What is track four? Awkward situation? Okay? Now the doe rises, Ah, were we go, all right, let's make some toast.

20:04 Speaker 8: Finally, the princess arrives at the bakery after a month long hiatus. They're both excited to be together at long last. The bread man locks the door and the young lover's head to the back room, not realizing that the baker's father had given a key to the egg lady. The egg lady arrives shortly after their rendezvous, only to find the bakery locked up. She uses her key to unlock the door and goes inside to drop off the eggs. She hears a strange noise in the back of the bakery and decides to investigate.

20:42 Speaker 8: She cracks open the back door, and much to her surprise, she realizes what's happening.

20:48 Speaker 9: It was a very situation situation you.

25:35 Speaker 2: The fire is a flying.

25:39 Speaker 6: The flower is a flying.

25:57 Speaker 3: Whoa whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Oh. I think the egg lady frankly should mind her own business. But that's what Well, if you picked up on the lyrics she said, you are gonna pay me, m h And I'm not gonna. I will not tell what's happening here right, So now the egg lady is now bribing the baker and the princess every time that we see. You're gonna pay up or I'm going to tell the king what's the story? Right right? Oh, hence the love triangle. Well, I don't think the egg lady is really interested in Oh no a baker boy, but she's she's as a subplot and a sub character.

26:37 Speaker 3: Oh okay, she's bribing.

26:39 Speaker 25: Yes, yes she is.

26:40 Speaker 3: She just doesn't know what she's walking into. Maybe maybe should we continue? Oh I think so.

26:47 Speaker 1: I like the next the next song in our story here we should tell people too, if you're just joining us, we have Ricky Mapleton here and the uh this, did we.

26:56 Speaker 3: Establish what this is? Is it a rock opera? Yeah? Yeah, I think, yeah, I like, yeah, I like. I think that was the original concept. It's kind of into more of a we want to do a play, yes, yes, broadway play. So if anybody wants to finance our Broadway play, I already have it envisioned in my mind. Really, oh my, come to be beautiful. Perhaps you could get a national bakery chain to sponsor you. Yes, absolutely, yes, let's go. Let's go Broadway. But for now, Yeah, that's the old yeah rock opera. Yeah, getting back getting back to the original question, rock oper I know that's pretty big shoulders I'm saying.

27:32 Speaker 3: But Quadrophenia Tommy twenty one twelve, Yes, hemispheres. I don't know if anybody knows the those kind of my dating myself on those, but yeah, yeah, yeah, a play.

27:45 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the title is The bread Man a bread Time Story. The bread Man a bread Time Story. Well, let's uh, we'll go to the next part of our story here, and this one is called I Am the egg Lady.

27:58 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, here we get two, three four, I'm mad.

28:14 Speaker 12: Lady, No.

28:19 Speaker 6: Second love plaid know your secret?

29:21 Speaker 12: Cop that.

29:30 Speaker 6: The bun COSI.

29:38 Speaker 26: Lor secret, sonnoyal secret.

30:03 Speaker 1: I feel at this one in the story of the egg Lady is really the antagonist. I think so I expected it to be the king well for his father.

30:14 Speaker 3: I think we all have some egg ladies in everyone's life.

30:17 Speaker 1: Sure, right, yeah, yeah, what's your thoughts? Are you connected with the story? I am, I'm very I'm very connected. I'm invested. I'm uh, you know, I'm a little uh bummed. I mean, I'm going to be a little sad next time, you know, I'm eating and you know, scrambled eggs or something, because I'm gonna be thinking about the egg Lady and uh and she's just uh, she's just mean.

30:43 Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, how's that for a response? Yes, you are correct, Matt.

30:47 Speaker 1: Connerton, because I'm looking at the title of the next part of the story and I realize exactly what's happening next, and I think it's wrong. What what a well, it's titled A Little White Envelope.

30:59 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, so Little White Envelope not. This is one of the songs that was done before the actual project took place, was taken from another project. Interesting, we did it on a few songs here. We had some material that we fit in that went along with the tracks that we were working on. And this one is a very dear friend of mine. I'm gonna say his name, Chris Higgins. Okay, Chris Higgins school who who I may have upset? I knew. I've known Chris Higgins since high school. Probably one of the best drummers in the area.

31:39 Speaker 3: Lifelong friends, yep. And I don't want to get into this big thing what happened.

31:43 Speaker 1: But I interviewed Chris Higgins a long time. I forget what band he.

31:45 Speaker 3: Was in, Rocket Waltz. I believe he was in that.

31:49 Speaker 1: That was not the band he was in when I interviewed Lynn Band.

31:52 Speaker 8: No.

31:54 Speaker 3: So, Chris, if you're listening to this again, I apologize. He's he's he's on two tracks. Okay. He did a ton of work on it, and a lot of the material his drummings didn't make it on it. Oh okay, okay, but he's on two tracks. And Chriss, you're the best man. I love you, I love you. Yeah, okay. And this this is a nice updeat song. Quick. It's all about that little envelope that we all have up on the shelves lives all right. This is a little white envelope.

32:20 Speaker 8: The princess and the bread man discuss payments with the egg lady. They make their first payment and send her off. The princess heads home to the castle. As soon as she arrives back at the castle, she gets the bad news that she is being forced to marry the Prince of yeast Land. This arranged marriage between our beloved Princess of Wheatland to the Prince of Yeastland will solidify the King's plans to form a super bread conglomerate. The princess, needless to say, is distraught. She eventually decides to write a letter to her bread man to break the bad news that she will no longer be able to spend time with him.

33:06 Speaker 8: She doesn't have the heart to send the letter, so it sits and awaits delivery inside its little white envelope.

33:27 Speaker 6: Never thank you, just to gas dust.

33:38 Speaker 26: Never never, never.

33:42 Speaker 2: Say every weeks.

33:44 Speaker 5: Yesterday, gad.

34:13 Speaker 24: M.

34:14 Speaker 1: Now that's interesting because I thought the little white envelope was going to refer to the envelope of money of payments made to the awful egg lady.

34:24 Speaker 3: But it turns out no, yes, correct, you are corrector I am correct about what everything? Okay, thank you.

34:30 Speaker 12: No.

34:31 Speaker 3: I never really thought of it about the envelope with the money, and that's what I assumed this was. This is the letter sent by the princess saying, oh, low lover of mine, I have to I'm being forced to marry the Prince of yeast Land. Yes, because his father, the princess's father, all about the business, our business to yeast business. And I love the term international red conglomerate. Yes, yes, I love that. Yes, that's fun.

35:05 Speaker 1: You would think anti trust laws would prevent that, you know, these mergers.

35:09 Speaker 3: I don't know the monopoly trust laws during Victorian time. Oh, but it was. It was a different time. I think if you were the king, you could do what you wanted. That's true, that's probably we're gonna do a quick Python, what made you king? I can recite that whole thing. Really, strange women distributing solds is no basis for gombnance. It comes from a mandate from the masses. If I never mind, see that's that's from the holy ground. Yes. Yes, If I went around saying I was king because some moist and bean gave me a sword, they'd put me away.

35:44 Speaker 3: Strange women there ever, being sold there's no basis for government.

35:50 Speaker 3: It's not wrong. So it's that was kind of my that's kind of my headspace with this. I was burying mighty Python, and then the musicians came in this. They're like, let's go serious, okay, And I said, okay, And I hope everybody's enjoying this. I hope, so, I hope. So it's good seeing your two reactions, which makes me super happy. Yeah. Yeah, you guys are laughing and enjoying. I like it very much. I like it very much.

36:13 Speaker 1: Let's see. So the next part of our story is called how could she Marry him?

36:16 Speaker 3: Okay, so the marriage is going to take place now between the princess and the prince, and they're having this big like everybody else who may be going to the altar or maybe get into a relationship. Here's that moment?

36:34 Speaker 10: Really?

36:35 Speaker 27: What?

36:36 Speaker 24: So?

36:36 Speaker 3: Okay, there we go, all right, let's go all right? Here it is.

36:44 Speaker 8: Finally, once the wedding date has been set, the princess has a little white envelope delivered to the bread man on the day of their next plant rendezvous, much to the bread man's chagrin. Instead of the princess said as door, he finds a delivery boy who hands him a letter.

37:06 Speaker 16: How good she married? How good she married? How good she married?

37:20 Speaker 2: How good she be?

37:22 Speaker 12: So?

37:24 Speaker 16: How good ship be?

37:26 Speaker 12: So?

37:32 Speaker 8: Today is the day of the big wedding. Princess. Here she is at the wedding, at the altar, getting ready to marry the prince from Yeastland. She just can't believe that it's happening. She missed the bread man.

53:29 Speaker 3: I love the kind of change we've done very slow melodic stuff on this hip hop comedy song was a song that was not originally made for this and we found a great spot for it where it kind of changes the whole Now we're hip hop and where it kind of goes away from the Victorian thing. It's okay, this was this is happening at the reception. Yes, yes, we're we're dancing, we're singing, we're having fun. Okay, little hip hop comedy song going on, all right, but not everyone is having fun? Well it depends in theory, right, Yes, very insightful, sir, Thank you, thank you.

54:08 Speaker 3: Well.

54:08 Speaker 1: Next, so we have more plastic in the ocean than fish. One ain't what it seems. I'm very curious where this part of the story is going.

54:18 Speaker 3: Here we go.

54:22 Speaker 8: The wedding is over. Weeks have passed since the bread Man has last seen the princess. The princess takes a huge risk and visits the bread Man late one evening. Draped in peasants clothing, she knocks at the bakery door.

54:44 Speaker 8: The bread man slowly opens the door. He's a mixed bag of emotions, sad, angry, befuddled, and elated all at once.

55:01 Speaker 8: He beckons her to the back room. He quietly murmurs, how could you marry him? At first, she's apologetic, but soon they begin to argue about everything and how it all went down, how she had no choice in the matter. The bread man, he disagrees, and the princess is no longer sure that it was a good idea to visit the bread man. Well, the bread Man and the princess, they begin to argue. They tell each other how they feel, and things get pretty heated. All the pieces they don't fit.

55:48 Speaker 14: Maybe we just need to quit.

55:50 Speaker 8: Sometimes I don't give it, ish, What do you think I love should be?

55:54 Speaker 9: Things ain't always what they see.

55:55 Speaker 6: You see blue and I sea green.

55:57 Speaker 9: When you laugh, it.

55:58 Speaker 14: Makes me scream.

56:00 Speaker 36: Just keep chasing those dreams, You just keep chasing those dreams.

56:23 Speaker 8: I can't recall what you said.

56:24 Speaker 14: I wish we could just stay in bed.

56:27 Speaker 37: Sometimes that's just regret all the things that you have done, things.

56:31 Speaker 14: Saying always what they see.

56:32 Speaker 2: You see Lou and I.

56:33 Speaker 37: See green When you're laugh it makes me scream.

56:36 Speaker 14: And you just keep.

56:37 Speaker 8: Chasing those dreams. Yeah, you just keep chasing those dreams.

56:45 Speaker 2: And don't care if you stay or go.

57:18 Speaker 37: You put on a real good show. Sometimes you just don't know what it is that you need. Things ain't always what they see. You see blue and I see green. When you laugh, it makes me scream.

57:29 Speaker 10: Don't make no sense to me.

57:31 Speaker 14: Your vision on what we should be.

57:33 Speaker 38: Why can't you just let me be? Why can't you just let me be? Why can't you just said me be? Oh, why can you just let me be?

57:49 Speaker 1: So things that not go as planned for the no no no process and no no no.

57:55 Speaker 3: I do have a question. Why is it?

57:56 Speaker 1: Why is it called more plastic in the ocean than fish?

58:02 Speaker 3: I did not name that song. I think it's cool. That's a very good question. I questioned that myself. When I see it, I believe one of my fabulous people that I worked with. I think either doctor H. Or Ryan f and I have learned when you work with other creative people, you need to be understanding of their thoughts. There and okay, yeah, there's a lot of backstory to any project. This one had. This project had many backstories as far as getting along with people getting on, of musicians getting along, understanding other musicians and creative people.

58:46 Speaker 3: And again, I just want to say again thank you for all the musicians that are on. Here's the pedal steel that was just on there. Oh yeah that was great. It's just guys, thank thank you again for the musicians that we're on here.

59:02 Speaker 1: We love doing this. Does does bread cause great at tension?

59:05 Speaker 3: You think, yes, it could be a twist.

59:09 Speaker 5: It's the yeast.

59:10 Speaker 3: Aren't you paying attention?

59:12 Speaker 6: East?

59:14 Speaker 14: It's the yeast?

59:16 Speaker 1: Well our next uh, our next song in the story? Here is uh more plastic in the ocean than fish to the plan.

59:25 Speaker 3: Okay, so now the plot, now they're gonna make okay, well, let's can take it.

59:29 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a twist coming. Very good, All right, very good. Let's see a braided issue.

59:36 Speaker 8: The princess hastily leaves the bakery and heads back to the castle. A month passes by both the bread Man and the princess agonize over their last meeting, each trying to rationalize their position. Suddenly, simultaneously, the princess and the castle, the bread Man, and the bakery come up with a plan to overcome the obstacles and to finally be together at last. First, they'll need to get rid of the prince, but that still leaves the egg lady. Then, under the cover of night, the princess sneaks off to the bakery to share her plan with the bread man.

1:00:24 Speaker 8: The bread Man is ecstatic to see the princess, and he can't wait to share his plan with her. As soon as they see each other, they warmly embrace and begin excitedly to share the same exact plan. Wow, don't we just poison the prince?

1:01:03 Speaker 2: I was thinking the same thing?

1:01:06 Speaker 12: Why care of dreams come true?

1:01:11 Speaker 6: Will go around? It's time all to come.

1:01:23 Speaker 12: And we all go round, and.

1:01:29 Speaker 11: It's all the poorson and.

1:01:49 Speaker 27: Of the lady.

1:01:52 Speaker 14: She knows the truth?

1:01:55 Speaker 23: Do you know what to do?

1:01:57 Speaker 12: If you want? Don't you come true?

1:02:03 Speaker 2: You will go around in the game.

1:02:16 Speaker 6: Real out?

1:02:32 Speaker 1: My goodness, I knew it, I knew it.

1:02:36 Speaker 3: It was the well will they succeed?

1:02:41 Speaker 20: Mm?

1:02:42 Speaker 3: Hmm, good question. Good question.

1:02:46 Speaker 1: I didn't expect it. I didn't expect bread bacon to lead to murder. My goodness, I know, squie a twist, all right?

1:02:53 Speaker 3: I believe it is the last song and scene one? What is what?

1:02:57 Speaker 39: What is this?

1:02:58 Speaker 3: Silver fox? The silver far? Okay, so this ends scene one of our fabulous journey into bread. Yes, again, thank you all the musicians that did this. Thank you. I can't thank you guys enough. Yes, I hope you all enjoying this listening. Thank you.

1:03:15 Speaker 1: Question in regards to that the music itself, did all of the artists work with you to develop the music or was this something that you wrote and then taught them to play?

1:03:25 Speaker 3: Both? Okay, both. Some of this was done even without me, even was drawn from different projects. There's something called the family album that doctor h or doctor Holton has and he's the type A of of type the band type A, which is kind of the moniker of this. It's the bread Man a bread story type A because Larry Holton type A took this, ran with it and did all these amazing overdubs and put the whole thing together. And yeah, so I forgot what the original question was, but you answered thank you.

1:04:07 Speaker 3: So here is the climax of scene one.

1:04:12 Speaker 8: All right, weeks go by and no one's getting their eggs. Everyone's wondering, where's the ugly Finally someone goes to the sheriff the silver fox.

1:07:50 Speaker 8: He finds his way to the swamp from the outskirts of town, Fog rolling in pitch, black dogs barking, barking, barking. Finally, he holds his lamp up and he looks down on the shore of the water. Astonished, he sees the egg Lady dead, their mouths stuffed with bread.

1:08:24 Speaker 3: So that is the end of scene one. Scene one is done. The egg Lady has been murdered. Oh my goodness, there we go. Let's be ready to jump right into scene too.

1:08:35 Speaker 1: Let's go right into scene two. Okay, we're starting with a seaweed instrumental poison yeasts.

1:08:42 Speaker 3: Okay, oh my goodness. All right, let's see. Joy, let's see where we go.

1:08:46 Speaker 8: In scene two, the Princess and the bread Man sneak off to the beach to discuss their plan further. Though the plan has many, many parts, it has become abundantly clear that with the egg Lady out of the picture, it's going to be all about the poison yeast. After a long discussion and walk on the beach, finally feeling like things are going to be the way they've always hoped, it's time for the bread Man to head back to the bakery and begin preparing the bread for the castle for the prince. The plan is quick to rise now that the poison yeast is fully prepared and active.

1:09:48 Speaker 8: Beware the poison yeast.

1:10:02 Speaker 6: East two yeast on the east, the east past.

1:10:34 Speaker 41: Tweas, yes, yeasts, ye beware of the poison.

1:10:53 Speaker 1: Well, now we know what poison yeast sounds like. And then let's see the next part of our story. King up in the castle, bad bread shoot.

1:11:05 Speaker 8: As the princess rises from the baker's bed, they begin to make the poison bread. Add the flour, add the sugar, don't forget the poison yeast. Soon the prince will be dead.

1:14:12 Speaker 8: Over time, the poison yeast begins to take its toll on all those who consume the royal bread. The poison quickly overtakes the Prince of Yeastland due to his bread gluttony, and he expires like stale, outdated bread. The servants find him on the floor, stiff as a weak old baguette. The King himself too feels the effects of the poison yeast. However, due to his slight gluten allergies, he consumes bread only on special occasions, though over time he becomes frail. A funeral is held for the Prince and the princess and the baker the bread man starts sneaking off together more often.

1:14:58 Speaker 8: Rumors are abound. The princess and the bred man begin to spend a lot of time with each other, and they don't really care what other people think. At this point, the prince is dead and it's their time to be together.

1:15:15 Speaker 20: It doesn't really mad what this sabout me and you.

1:17:05 Speaker 43: Said, said, said, saved, said, said.

1:17:29 Speaker 20: Said.

1:17:55 Speaker 8: Things are really looking up for the Princess and the brad Man. It turns out out that the bread Man's father has died and left a fortune of yeast to the bread Man. Where and how his father accumulated his vast scores of yeast his only rumor at this point, but it is believed that when the bread Man was young, he sold off the baker boy's mother and gained a fortune and yeast. Granted, this is only speculation regardless. In return for the Princess's hand in marriage, the bread Man offers the frail king a promise to supply all of wheatland with his yeast import and export monopoly on the worldwide bread market.

1:18:40 Speaker 8: Of course, with recent death of the prince. The king has no choice but to accept, as he no longer has access to yeast from the prince's family in Yeastland. The King agrees to let them get married.

1:19:03 Speaker 8: The princess and the bread man get married. It seems as though both of their dreams finally come true. And the bread man is in the.

1:20:53 Speaker 12: Tell me?

1:20:54 Speaker 10: That man smell and the dull.

1:22:29 Speaker 8: After the wedding celebration, the princess and the bread man ride in a carriage down the cobblestone streets of the Wheatland village, and when they pass through the village, the villagers half heartedly celebrate. They seem jealous. They seem to think that the princess thinks a little too highly of her so and that the bread man, coming from the bakery on the streets, maybe he's a little too uh, he's risen a little too high for them, And so they start to sink.

Everyone's a little bit concerned that the princess and the bread man will be taking over, and they're really quite concerned. Nevertheless, they hold this beautiful funeral procession for the king, and off in the distance you can hear the sounds of ancient river.

Nobody's really paying attention to the bread man. He's getting a little frustrated that even the queen is not taking his advice. He's become jealous, and he's losing affection for the queen. The bread man stares into the mirror. He looks at himself, perplexed, wondering why the queen is getting so much attention and none for him.
