4:00 Speaker 6: Okay. Is he the one saying he's got the probe?

4:03 Speaker 5: Yeah?

4:04 Speaker 7: Well that was me, but he he he kind of

4:07 Speaker 7: came up with that. I can't really really yeah, based

4:10 Speaker 7: off of real world events. Yeah, I can't talk about

4:13 Speaker 7: it on the radio, gotcha. The FCC would not be proud.

4:18 Speaker 6: Well, you know, the Pentagon is releasing all these files,

4:20 Speaker 6: so you know it.

4:20 Speaker 7: Might be all right from everything else, Yes, files.

4:25 Speaker 6: Yep, agreed, agreed.

4:30 Speaker 5: Yeah, but anyways, we have aliens. It's like a pixel.

4:37 Speaker 7: Yeah.

4:37 Speaker 5: Yeah. Do you have coincidental that all of the sudden

4:40 Speaker 5: aliens are real? They've been real? Dude is out there?

4:44 Speaker 6: That's right, that's right. So you guys have been busy

4:48 Speaker 6: the we're playing some new music today. Now do you

4:51 Speaker 6: have a new Uh? Well, well, actually I should hold

4:54 Speaker 6: this up for people watching online. Let me hold it

4:56 Speaker 6: up for the camera for people watching the video feed.

5:00 Speaker 6: Got the new album, yes, sir? And uh looks like

5:03 Speaker 6: a lot when especially the back there.

5:05 Speaker 7: A lot went into that it has cellophane on it

5:08 Speaker 7: is legitimate, it does it is name another punk act

5:11 Speaker 7: that will take the time to actually cellophane in their album.

5:16 Speaker 6: It's right.

5:17 Speaker 7: I painstakingly hand packed and cut all of the artwork

5:21 Speaker 7: and put the labels on the CDs and package them

5:24 Speaker 7: and dude, I wanted to die.

5:26 Speaker 6: Yeah.

5:27 Speaker 7: Special Ones, that's the Magenta Special Edition, right, there is

5:31 Speaker 7: no that's the.

5:33 Speaker 5: We were joking about that.

5:37 Speaker 8: We do have a couple of different color ways though

5:40 Speaker 8: we have black and white. I believe there's a blue

5:42 Speaker 8: one with the flowers, and then that's the original, which

5:45 Speaker 8: is the red.

5:45 Speaker 5: So there are a couple of different Ones variants. Yeah.

5:49 Speaker 7: So the the album cover, actually that picture is from

5:53 Speaker 7: when we were in Japan. Uh there was a castle

5:56 Speaker 7: that was just completely graffiti bombed. So I took that

6:00 Speaker 7: picture and we had the title disappointed Setia kicking around

6:04 Speaker 7: for a while. We wanted to use it, and I

6:07 Speaker 7: figured that's a that that picture is very disappointing. So

6:13 Speaker 7: and then we through some point setias around it.

6:15 Speaker 6: And yeah, no, I like it. I like it disappointed.

6:17 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, thank you.

6:18 Speaker 7: Out of all the pictures from the Japan trip. I'd

6:20 Speaker 7: say that probably is the best one for him album. Yeah,

6:24 Speaker 7: so when you do open it, the inner jacket, I

6:29 Speaker 7: think the back of the jacket actually has another picture

6:32 Speaker 7: from when we were in Japan, and then the inside

6:35 Speaker 7: of it. Not to spoil too much, but there's a

6:38 Speaker 7: there's a little collage in there.

6:39 Speaker 6: Okay, okay, outstanding and tell us about what's going on

6:43 Speaker 6: in the back of this.

6:44 Speaker 5: So that is that is a collage that I did.

6:47 Speaker 5: It's called Mother.

6:48 Speaker 7: I used some old medical textbooks from the seventies and

6:54 Speaker 7: I used another one that is obstetrics.

6:59 Speaker 5: Right. I'm looking at you guys like you'd know, yeah, don't.

7:03 Speaker 5: I don't really like journal like I do.

7:06 Speaker 7: I do a lot of clause artwork with that stuff.

7:08 Speaker 7: But uh yeah, it's just uh, just nifty artwork that

7:13 Speaker 7: I made. And we were like, yeah, we'll throw that

7:15 Speaker 7: on the back and confuse people because if you notice

7:18 Speaker 7: there's no song titled song listings on the back right right,

7:22 Speaker 7: that's because you have to pay to know what songs

7:24 Speaker 7: are on the CD that you're not going to listen to.

7:26 Speaker 8: I guess I'm sure a lot of a lot of

7:29 Speaker 8: them end up as like wal art or whatever, or

7:31 Speaker 8: put them on your shelf.

7:32 Speaker 5: Yeah, we're appreciative either way.

7:35 Speaker 7: Oh yeah, yeah, because like we we haven't done it

7:37 Speaker 7: in a while, but like we'll put stuff out on

7:39 Speaker 7: cassette and maybe eight track.

7:43 Speaker 5: We've talked about that before with our different media platform.

7:46 Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a there's a band that I love actually

7:49 Speaker 7: wearing their shirt, Corrupt Vision. They uh they put out

7:53 Speaker 7: uh Flexi discs, so they're like the flexible records really

7:57 Speaker 7: like getting cereal boxes. They've done me the little tiny CDs. Yeah,

8:02 Speaker 7: all kinds of cool stuff, which it's like it's definitely

8:06 Speaker 7: more of a souvenir than anything.

8:08 Speaker 5: Well of course, yeah, because like I was scrolling.

8:11 Speaker 7: Facebook earlier and I saw this band putting out eight tracks, Like, dude, like,

8:16 Speaker 7: I'm not going to go buy an eight track to

8:19 Speaker 7: I probably have one of my eight track player in

8:21 Speaker 7: my basement. We could probably get something like that.

8:23 Speaker 5: Yeah, Wow, that'd be really cool.

8:25 Speaker 6: I've I've talked about it on the show. I might

8:27 Speaker 6: have even talked about it with you guys. This this

8:29 Speaker 6: must have been like ten years ago now when I

8:31 Speaker 6: was on I remember looking on band camp looking for

8:34 Speaker 6: local bands, and I noticed that people were releasing cassettes.

8:41 Speaker 6: And the first one that I found, I don't remember

8:43 Speaker 6: the name, but it was a band from Keene. I

8:46 Speaker 6: can't remember who they were called, but I was like, Oh,

8:48 Speaker 6: that's interesting. And then I found more of them, and

8:51 Speaker 6: then I kept finding more and more. I was like, Oh,

8:52 Speaker 6: I guess this is a thing. Now, they're actually releasing cassettes. Yeah,

8:56 Speaker 6: and I thought that was pretty cool, but it was

8:58 Speaker 6: also quite shocking. Yeah, especially in like the the punk scene.

9:03 Speaker 6: It's it's definitely gaining quite the resurgence. Yeah, and it's

9:08 Speaker 6: just so cheap to do. Like I I found a

9:12 Speaker 6: giant suitcase full of cassettes. We talked about this story before.

9:18 Speaker 7: Yeah, So I found a huge suitcase full of cassettes

9:20 Speaker 7: and was like, I'm just gonna see if I can

9:22 Speaker 7: do this. And then we put out a bunch of cassettes.

9:25 Speaker 7: Joan and I were just like leaving them in bathrooms

9:28 Speaker 7: and stuff. Yeah, yeah, and we'd have our band camp

9:31 Speaker 7: in there. We left the other side blank. I stole

9:33 Speaker 7: it from the Dead Kennedy's but it said like this

9:36 Speaker 7: side is for you to steal music with. Oh wow, yeah,

9:38 Speaker 7: Oh that's cool. Yeah, that's very cool.

9:42 Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess I can't remember who I've talked about

9:45 Speaker 6: this with or not, but years ago I was in

9:47 Speaker 6: a band called The Jinks and we used to have

9:49 Speaker 6: a running joke in The Jinks that we were gonna

9:51 Speaker 6: release like a single, and then we never did.

9:55 Speaker 5: But it was thunder on that one.

9:58 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, No Effects, not on cassette, but No Effects

10:02 Speaker 7: put out a single. I can't say the title of

10:05 Speaker 7: the song, but it's a six second long song and

10:09 Speaker 7: they put out a single on vinyl. It was like

10:12 Speaker 7: a seven inch with a six second song.

10:15 Speaker 5: So funny.

10:16 Speaker 6: That's awesome. Yeah wow wow, So what so tell us

10:19 Speaker 6: about that song? Aliens Like what I mean, we kind

10:22 Speaker 6: of just laughed about it.

10:24 Speaker 8: I think that one kind of just came out at

10:26 Speaker 8: practice one day. Yeah, I just, you know, we were

10:29 Speaker 8: playing around with rifts and stuff, and I think Sean

10:32 Speaker 8: might have had lyrics or Hayden Sport on the back

10:35 Speaker 8: burners fit together and just kind of became itself.

10:38 Speaker 7: So I wrote the lyrics like on my way or

10:42 Speaker 7: I was at work when I wrote the lyrics, and

10:45 Speaker 7: it just it was like lightning hit me. I just

10:48 Speaker 7: because sometimes it'll take me a month or two to

10:51 Speaker 7: write something. Sometimes I write something in two minutes. Yeah,

10:54 Speaker 7: that was I literally wrote that in two minutes, and

10:57 Speaker 7: then like we got to practice and I was like, guys,

11:00 Speaker 7: I have the song, and I started singing it. He

11:03 Speaker 7: immediately came up with a riff and like that. We

11:05 Speaker 7: were like all right, yeah. We just looked at each other,

11:08 Speaker 7: We're like, so that's the song, and yeah, yeah, yeah.

11:11 Speaker 5: So yeah.

11:12 Speaker 7: It's a lot of our songs tend to have like

11:15 Speaker 7: a darker theme, like very anti government, very like, you know,

11:19 Speaker 7: we're very big into advocating from like mental health and everything.

11:23 Speaker 5: So a lot of it has to do with you know,

11:25 Speaker 5: very real poor subject matter, like for.

11:28 Speaker 7: Mental health and whatnot. So we kind of wanted to

11:31 Speaker 7: pepper in like more goofy stuff. So like the the

11:34 Speaker 7: Aliens one is just yeah.

11:39 Speaker 8: We were talking before the show started, and we have

11:41 Speaker 8: a lot of fans who like, like they'll be in

11:43 Speaker 8: the crime.

11:44 Speaker 7: Be like, yeah, it's crazy how many people come up

11:48 Speaker 7: to us and ask us to play Aliens And every

11:50 Speaker 7: time we're like, no, dude, you can't. You can't ask

11:55 Speaker 7: us at the beginning of the set list, when we're

11:57 Speaker 7: still full of energy and spry. It's always at the

12:00 Speaker 7: end of the set list. Someoneill come up and be like, dude,

12:02 Speaker 7: can you play aliens? I'm like, I can't even say

12:04 Speaker 7: the word aliens right now. Shawnie's next set of lungs,

12:09 Speaker 7: it's a lot. It's so much, it's so rapid fire,

12:12 Speaker 7: and like we we actually made the song longer so

12:16 Speaker 7: I have more time to breathe. We did the same

12:18 Speaker 7: thing with a formula number four because it's just so fast.

12:22 Speaker 7: I I can't breathe. I have no time to breathe. Yeah,

12:24 Speaker 7: So I like I quit. I quit vaping, and that's

12:29 Speaker 7: howped my lungs a lot. Like quit smoking, vaping, all

12:31 Speaker 7: that stuff. Been trying to do more cardio, but I

12:36 Speaker 7: like ice cream and sitting on the couch.

12:40 Speaker 6: How did you How did you quit vaping?

12:42 Speaker 2: What?

12:42 Speaker 5: What did you do?

12:43 Speaker 6: I just just stopped.

12:45 Speaker 7: I just stopped. My My lovely lady told me she

12:48 Speaker 7: wanted me to stop too, so that helped.

12:50 Speaker 6: Yeah.

12:50 Speaker 7: Yeah, but I I've been wanting to stop for a

12:53 Speaker 7: while and it's it's hard, but I just I'm sick

12:58 Speaker 7: of it. Man, It's it's gross. It's a great US habit.

13:00 Speaker 7: It's like I'm addicted to a flash drive. Like you're

13:06 Speaker 7: really addicted to flavored air lose there. So yeah, I

13:13 Speaker 7: just cold turkey did good.

13:15 Speaker 5: Good for you.

13:16 Speaker 7: I slipped up a couple of times when I was drinking,

13:18 Speaker 7: like I took a chuck or two. But yeah, I've

13:21 Speaker 7: been around doing doing pretty good with it. Yeah, excellent,

13:24 Speaker 7: good for you, good for you. Absolutely.

13:27 Speaker 6: So all the three new songs that were featuring today,

13:30 Speaker 6: those are all on the album correct, yes, And how

13:32 Speaker 6: many songs on here of total ten?

13:35 Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's a solid ten piece Okay,

13:38 Speaker 5: very good ten piece Chicken Nugget Brothers.

13:42 Speaker 8: There are three volley songs that are like a revisit

13:45 Speaker 8: or a reprise if you will, okay, and then the

13:48 Speaker 8: rest of them are brand new.

13:49 Speaker 6: Yeah, excellent.

13:50 Speaker 5: Yeah. So actually all of the songs that are used

13:54 Speaker 5: to no useless. No, I don't think that's been played

13:58 Speaker 5: on the area yet.

13:59 Speaker 8: Nothing at all, because it was just never really it

14:02 Speaker 8: was on an old record, or it was on an

14:04 Speaker 8: old collection maybe on band camp or whatever, or on

14:07 Speaker 8: an older was off.

14:10 Speaker 7: It was off our first album. It was written before

14:13 Speaker 7: I joined the band, so so we needed it recorded correctly.

14:17 Speaker 7: I think that was the that was the one that

14:19 Speaker 7: we recorded with the room mic and yeah, one one

14:24 Speaker 7: hanging from the sprinkler pipe.

14:28 Speaker 6: It was so it was so.

14:30 Speaker 7: Literally an Amazon special microphone too, and like really that

14:34 Speaker 7: thing is such a piece of junk man.

14:37 Speaker 8: Once again to also produced and mastered and all of

14:40 Speaker 8: that and recorded by Axel Begley, so he was did

14:43 Speaker 8: this one as well.

14:44 Speaker 5: We did last record. If you are if you're watching,

14:46 Speaker 5: listening or both, we love you. Yeah, is the man.

14:49 Speaker 7: We always appreciate his input and you know, he always

14:52 Speaker 7: does his very best to make sure that our vision

14:55 Speaker 7: kind of comes to fruition. You know, he's really he's

14:57 Speaker 7: really the man when it comes to the recording stuff.

15:00 Speaker 8: Oh yeah, absolutely, And we think the production on this

15:02 Speaker 8: one is kind of head and shoulders above the last

15:04 Speaker 8: one too. It's nice when it's just we're proud of

15:07 Speaker 8: the last one as well, but it's a big progression.

15:09 Speaker 5: Each time. We just want to add a little bit more.

15:11 Speaker 8: You have more ideas and from contrasting from the last

15:15 Speaker 8: works and stuff like that.

15:16 Speaker 5: So it was a little really road handstaking.

15:18 Speaker 7: We spent we spent some extra time on every song

15:21 Speaker 7: to make sure that it came out exactly.

15:22 Speaker 5: How we wanted it. But we didn't spend the same money.

15:25 Speaker 5: Thanks you.

15:26 Speaker 2: So we.

15:28 Speaker 5: Didn't.

15:28 Speaker 7: We didn't have sixteen pacifico's before each recorded. That definitely helped.

15:33 Speaker 8: Okay, head, yeah, majority I doubled guitar tracks.

15:40 Speaker 5: Yeah, my goodness, gracious.

15:43 Speaker 7: I was listening to Useless Apology, and I was like

15:46 Speaker 7: tripping because I'm like, I heard the vocal doubles and

15:50 Speaker 7: they had to twist my arm to do that.

15:51 Speaker 5: I'm like, no, that's not well.

15:53 Speaker 8: It's like with Kurt Cobain, Butcher Big had to tell him, well,

15:56 Speaker 8: John Lennon doubled his vocal Yeah, double guitars, you know.

16:01 Speaker 7: Yeah, I was so, I was so opposed to it.

16:05 Speaker 7: And then like I was listening to Useless Apology when

16:07 Speaker 7: I was making the radio edits. Actually yeah, I was

16:09 Speaker 7: listening and like, what the heck?

16:11 Speaker 5: What is that?

16:12 Speaker 7: Like I thought there, I thought like my speakers were

16:14 Speaker 7: messed up or something like, oh, there's there's vocal doubles.

16:17 Speaker 7: Like if something doesn't sound like utter crap, I assume

16:20 Speaker 7: something's wrong.

16:21 Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, that's funny. You did a great job on

16:25 Speaker 6: the radio edits.

16:25 Speaker 7: Thank you, Thank you. I swear a lot, so I

16:28 Speaker 7: got pretty good at it. Flipping them, dude, I the

16:32 Speaker 7: original radio edit. It was too painstaking for me to

16:34 Speaker 7: actually do. But I don't know if I could even

16:37 Speaker 7: say the name of the bird. It is the bird's name,

16:39 Speaker 7: but it's an American wood blank. It goes meat, yeah, meat.

16:44 Speaker 5: Yeah.

16:45 Speaker 7: So he sends me this edit with the meep and

16:48 Speaker 7: I'm like, oh my god, I love We send each

16:50 Speaker 7: other these videos back and forth every day. Yeah, and

16:54 Speaker 7: it's just a American wood blank bird meeping in a

16:59 Speaker 7: weird kind of edit.

17:00 Speaker 5: And it's like, I'm so excited for He's like, yeah,

17:02 Speaker 5: I know this is too much work. I'm not doing it.

17:04 Speaker 7: I'm like, I will never forgive you.

17:06 Speaker 8: Anyone out there who has a group chat with their friends,

17:08 Speaker 8: they just know that it's a lawless wasteland.

17:10 Speaker 5: Yeah.

17:11 Speaker 2: Yeah.

18:12 Speaker 6: Everything?

18:13 Speaker 5: Everything, They're so cool. I'm not being facetious.

18:18 Speaker 6: We're probably safe because you know, I don't do politics

18:21 Speaker 6: on the show anymore so, because the current FCC isn't

18:24 Speaker 6: likely to be upset with me about anything. I suppose

18:27 Speaker 6: I don't think I'm not I'm not saying anything bad

18:30 Speaker 6: about the uh, because I'm not saying anything about well

18:34 Speaker 6: current administration.

18:36 Speaker 5: We can we can chop it up if you like.

18:42 Speaker 5: No, dude, me, I don't. I don't want to. I

18:45 Speaker 5: think I think you can deduce how I feel about it.

18:48 Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely absolutely. We should play uh Cheaper to Die?

18:55 Speaker 6: This is my favorite of the ones you sent me.

18:57 Speaker 5: Heck, yeah, I love this. What what do you like

18:59 Speaker 5: about it?

19:00 Speaker 2: Uh?

19:00 Speaker 6: Specifically the lyrics, but also it's just it's just a banger.

19:04 Speaker 6: It's it's just really good.

19:06 Speaker 5: Appreciate that.

19:07 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, you like it too, that's fortuitous. What can

19:14 Speaker 6: you tell me about it? I think you want to

19:15 Speaker 6: tell me about it?

19:17 Speaker 5: So it's expensive to be alive.

19:18 Speaker 7: Yes, I don't know if I don't know if you've noticed, Matthew,

19:37 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Philm. Somo. If you're somehow listening

19:41 Speaker 5: to this, I hate you.

19:50 Speaker 7: it's uh, I forget exactly. How like we came to

19:53 Speaker 7: the like we were just talking. I someone said something about, oh,

19:57 Speaker 7: it was cheaper to die, and I'm like, yo, the

20:00 Speaker 7: light bulb just head. Yeah, oh dude, So part of

20:03 Speaker 7: those lyrics actually were I started writing more to the.

20:08 Speaker 5: One of our old songs.

20:09 Speaker 7: I think it was blind, and I like, I dumped

20:14 Speaker 7: the lyrics and then I found them again, and I

20:17 Speaker 7: took like a little bits and pieces and that that

20:20 Speaker 7: became cheaper to die.

20:21 Speaker 6: So all right, all right, very good. Let's give this

22:53 Speaker 6: You did use the word stalker off air?

22:54 Speaker 5: Yeah? Thanks, Yeah.

22:59 Speaker 6: A few weeks names.

23:00 Speaker 8: We were at the Bad Burger and it was like

23:02 Speaker 8: about of the band's sort of thing and him and

23:05 Speaker 8: his friends were getting down with us when we were

23:07 Speaker 8: playing and that's cool and stuff. And then the other

23:09 Speaker 8: bands were playing and he would like go up to

23:10 Speaker 8: like the stage like cross his arms, starts shaking his head.

23:16 Speaker 5: Else.

23:17 Speaker 7: Yeah, like super not cool behavior. Like you know, it

23:21 Speaker 7: was about all the bands and we wanted to win,

23:23 Speaker 7: but we're also we're respectable. We're respectable. We were there

23:27 Speaker 7: like digging all the other bands, like chopping up with

23:29 Speaker 7: them and whatnot, and he like he was walking up

23:31 Speaker 7: shaking his head and no at them and like, like

23:34 Speaker 7: dude being rude, and like I went up to him,

23:36 Speaker 7: like cut it out.

23:37 Speaker 8: And at the end of the day, he's our band too,

23:40 Speaker 8: Like you know that could potentially be a reflection of us.

23:44 Speaker 5: I don't want that look.

23:45 Speaker 7: Yeah, and like you know, he's a young kid, so

23:47 Speaker 7: like the right trying to be influential in a positive way.

23:53 Speaker 4: Yeah.

23:53 Speaker 7: I was joking last night, like doing screaming vocals in

23:56 Speaker 7: the parking lot of jewel and.

23:57 Speaker 5: Like roast parents. Yeah, but uh yeah, dude, he like

24:04 Speaker 5: bless his heart, bless his heart. Yeah, he'll come around. Hey.

24:09 Speaker 7: The weirdest thing, dude, is he like keeps coming up

24:11 Speaker 7: and stealing the tabs off of my beers And for

24:13 Speaker 7: whatever reason, dude, I'm like, that's getting so deep under

24:18 Speaker 7: my skin.

24:18 Speaker 5: It's in the bone marrow.

24:20 Speaker 7: He wouldn't have set list everything set list, And it's

24:23 Speaker 7: like in my eyes, I'm.

24:25 Speaker 6: Like take it right.

24:26 Speaker 5: He's the paper to me.

24:28 Speaker 7: Yeah, like if it means something to you, like it's

24:30 Speaker 7: a strange thing, I'll even sign it for you.

24:32 Speaker 5: Whatever.

24:32 Speaker 8: Yeah, if I met someone who I looked up to,

24:35 Speaker 8: I would be on my best behavior. I would, you know,

24:38 Speaker 8: I really admire you, and I think you're cool, and

24:40 Speaker 8: I don't want you to think I'm lame. Yeah, yeah,

24:43 Speaker 8: seems pretty normal.

24:44 Speaker 7: We've had a few other fans that, you know, it's

24:49 Speaker 7: often folks that are younger than us, Like, you know,

24:51 Speaker 7: we have a few like older heads that really dig

24:55 Speaker 7: us that are.

24:55 Speaker 5: A little like a little over a pretty broad demographic.

24:59 Speaker 7: Yeah, so there is there's a couple other that I

25:02 Speaker 7: can think of offhand that like when they first met us,

25:05 Speaker 7: they were like, and you know, we're we're human too.

25:08 Speaker 7: We're not like some crazy big band or aliens that

25:13 Speaker 7: you know of, but you know, we're very humble people

25:17 Speaker 7: and we're human. We love talking to people before and

25:19 Speaker 7: after the show, and just you know, going out.

25:23 Speaker 5: Don't don't treat.

25:24 Speaker 7: Us like we're we're some circus act. Treat us like

25:28 Speaker 7: we're human. Will treat you like you're human. Right, But

25:32 Speaker 7: there were a couple other people that I can think

25:34 Speaker 7: of offhand, where like when they first met us, they like,

25:38 Speaker 7: I felt like I was being treated differently, like I

25:40 Speaker 7: wasn't being treated like a person, and like they were

25:42 Speaker 7: just like going way too heavy handed, was like trying

25:45 Speaker 7: to make us laugh, trying to like be like super

25:48 Speaker 7: over the top friendly with us, very overfamiliar put it.

25:52 Speaker 8: And he parked himself right next to me. I was

25:54 Speaker 8: the next to com to me, and so started blasting

25:57 Speaker 8: and showing me as Instagram and I'd like tell him

25:59 Speaker 8: straight up like this. I was like, you do respect

26:01 Speaker 8: my boundaries, dude, Like I don't know how much more clear,

26:06 Speaker 8: Like why don't you why why don't you tell them

26:08 Speaker 8: what you did to me yesterday?

26:11 Speaker 5: We can't. We're on the radio, dude, So I'm sitting

26:16 Speaker 5: you shut your mouth. It was you.

26:18 Speaker 7: So we're sitting in the venue and I see the

26:22 Speaker 7: little flock of young wings and I'm like, oh no,

26:26 Speaker 7: And I looked. I looked at my lady and like

26:28 Speaker 7: the kids are here, and she's like, what are you

26:29 Speaker 7: talking about? The And I'm like, the kids are here

26:31 Speaker 7: and she's like, oh no. And then he comes right

26:34 Speaker 7: up to me and just stares at me, and dude,

26:37 Speaker 7: he he does he does it. It's a little unsettling.

26:40 Speaker 7: He does a Donald Trump impression constantly and it drives

26:46 Speaker 7: me up the wall. And I like, I just I

26:49 Speaker 7: tell him, I'm straight out. I'm like, dude, stop, like

26:51 Speaker 7: you're genuinely irritating at least give me r f k.

26:54 Speaker 6: God is impression at all?

26:59 Speaker 7: No, No, I think that's why it irritates me so

27:01 Speaker 7: much because it's not even good, but so like he's

27:06 Speaker 7: doing his thing and I'm like, dude, just like give

27:08 Speaker 7: me some space, man, like I'm doing something right now,

27:11 Speaker 7: and uh, Dane comes up and like, dude, the kids

27:13 Speaker 7: are here, is like, yeah, I told him to go

27:15 Speaker 7: bother you.

27:17 Speaker 8: Because they found me in the parking lot and my

27:20 Speaker 8: patient's worth in pretty fast and there's like a group

27:23 Speaker 8: of four of them and the rest of the kids

27:24 Speaker 8: are fine, but it's it's definitely that one.

27:27 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's there's one kid. You're less thing. Please fix yourself.

27:30 Speaker 5: We love you, Yeah, we do better. We love We

28:15 Speaker 6: Have you guys been like, have you've been playing a

28:17 Speaker 6: lot of shows.

28:18 Speaker 8: Or I don't think we've hit this year as hard

28:23 Speaker 8: around the same time as last year. But I mean,

28:25 Speaker 8: we have a lot of stuff coming up, and we've

28:27 Speaker 8: been pretty consistent and stuff. We a little bit more

28:30 Speaker 8: of a slower start to the summer season spring summer season,

28:33 Speaker 8: but we got stuff.

28:34 Speaker 7: We We spent about a month or so pre recording, recording,

28:40 Speaker 7: and then post recording doing the the album artwork, like

28:44 Speaker 7: packaging everything. It was just a lot and uh, we

28:47 Speaker 7: all kind of collectively said, like we kind of want

28:49 Speaker 7: to slow down a little bit, just to give ourselves

28:53 Speaker 7: all time to breathe, Like, we all have so much

28:54 Speaker 7: going on.

28:55 Speaker 8: We've got a lot of personal stuff to in our

28:58 Speaker 8: lives and things like that, like everybody else. Yeah, yeah,

29:01 Speaker 8: sometimes you just you know, have to take the things

29:03 Speaker 8: that are your auxiliary things in your life and just

29:05 Speaker 8: maybe you know, pull them back a little bit.

29:07 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's normal. So we have a we have a

29:10 Speaker 7: couple of shows coming up June nineteenth. We're playing at

29:13 Speaker 7: Thirsty First and lolls Low, Massachusetts. To specify, just in

29:19 Speaker 7: case there was any confusion out there, I don't remember

29:24 Speaker 7: who's playing that, and I am so sorry if you

29:26 Speaker 7: guys are listening, but uh, I know it's going to

29:29 Speaker 7: be a super kick butt show. We're playing some hippie

29:34 Speaker 7: festival too.

29:35 Speaker 5: Out in the woods? Really is that new Ipswich?

29:38 Speaker 6: Nah?

29:38 Speaker 5: I think so?

29:39 Speaker 7: Okay, yeah, I said that was like your cousin or

29:42 Speaker 7: something who invited us to do that. My cousin is

29:45 Speaker 7: friends with the guy who is putting it on. It's

29:47 Speaker 7: called Electric camp Out. Okay, I feel like I've heard

29:50 Speaker 7: of it. Yeah, so's it sounds really cool. It's a

29:53 Speaker 7: it's kind of outside of our wheelhouse. We don't we're

29:57 Speaker 7: not like a festival band, but yeah, if the money

30:00 Speaker 7: is right, there's an opportunity to kind of kind of

30:04 Speaker 7: do something different. You know, we played a lot of

30:07 Speaker 7: you know, a lot of bars, and you know we've

30:08 Speaker 7: played Bad Burger a few times, which are great venues

30:11 Speaker 7: and great stuff. But uh yeah, yeah, you do something

30:13 Speaker 7: a little different when you use your breath of fresh

30:15 Speaker 7: air we usually play places where there's a higher risk

30:18 Speaker 7: of being stabbed.

30:19 Speaker 5: Okay, especially normally, that's the most comfortable.

30:22 Speaker 7: Last night across the street and dude, every single person

30:25 Speaker 7: that I told about the show because we played a

30:27 Speaker 7: jewel and they're like, didn't somebody get stabbed there? I'm like, dude,

30:30 Speaker 7: come on, like people get stabbed everywhere. People get stabbed

30:34 Speaker 7: every day.

30:35 Speaker 6: That's true.

30:36 Speaker 5: It's it's an epidemic.

30:38 Speaker 9: Man.

30:40 Speaker 8: To expand off what Cody was saying, though, too, we

30:42 Speaker 8: have been doing more things that have been out of

30:43 Speaker 8: our comfort zone. We played a like a benefit show

30:48 Speaker 8: at the Stumble Inn and Dairy, so it was us

30:51 Speaker 8: obviously punk band, and then we played with the same

30:54 Speaker 8: bill as the Children's bluegrass ensemble.

30:57 Speaker 5: They were they were so so like they were cute.

31:01 Speaker 7: There was like this little six year old girl and

31:03 Speaker 7: she was playing like a double bass, the stand up

31:05 Speaker 7: one and it was taller than her.

31:06 Speaker 5: Dude, it was. It was adorable. It sounded great.

31:08 Speaker 7: They were, dude, they were they were so good. They

31:11 Speaker 7: were like I was watching them like, oh no, dude,

31:14 Speaker 7: we're gonna get outshined by six. He grabs me by

31:17 Speaker 7: the arm, he looks at me he's like, are you serious?

31:21 Speaker 7: I called him a few choice words that I can't

31:23 Speaker 7: say on the radio, but right yeah, I was like, dude,

31:26 Speaker 7: are you you're messing with me right now?

31:27 Speaker 4: Right?

31:28 Speaker 10: Wow?

31:29 Speaker 8: And then we did we didn't go ahead, know you,

31:31 Speaker 8: I was gonna say. We did the Battle of the

31:33 Speaker 8: Bands at Bad Burger like a month or so ago,

31:35 Speaker 8: and it was us a prog rock type of outfit,

31:40 Speaker 8: like a five or six piece, uh, prog rock band,

31:43 Speaker 8: and then it was the girl with an acoustic guitar

31:46 Speaker 8: and he swept it, single one, the whole thing.

31:51 Speaker 5: We lost the Battle of the Bands to a singer songwriter.

31:54 Speaker 6: Wow, who was it? Do you remember?

31:56 Speaker 5: I don't remember her name?

31:57 Speaker 2: She was.

31:57 Speaker 5: She was very talented.

31:59 Speaker 7: I'm sure she just all kidding aside, Like I'm not

32:01 Speaker 7: salty about it. Very talented, But it's we've been doing

32:04 Speaker 7: things out of our norm which, yeah, I think that's

32:07 Speaker 7: good for any band or any person or whatever you do.

32:09 Speaker 7: It's good to get out of your normal systems or

32:12 Speaker 7: whatever once in a while, experience new things, to kind

32:15 Speaker 7: of find your your niche, you know, find where you variety.

32:18 Speaker 5: I appreciate what you got. Variety is the wine of life.

32:21 Speaker 5: I don't think that's how that goes. That's not how

32:23 Speaker 5: that goes.

32:24 Speaker 7: Well, it's a good thing, like wine. I'm actually kind

32:29 Speaker 7: of hungover right now. Well, yeah, you guys played just

32:33 Speaker 7: last time.

32:33 Speaker 11: Yeah.

32:34 Speaker 7: Yeah, I had a little too much fun in the sun.

32:37 Speaker 7: If I was a careous i'd fall right to the ground.

32:40 Speaker 6: If you're just joining us, we have Volley here with

32:42 Speaker 6: us in studio. That's that's a great place to play, though, Jewel,

32:45 Speaker 6: because you know, the stage is nice and the.

32:47 Speaker 5: Lighting, the sound was immaculate. Yeah, good job with us.

32:53 Speaker 5: You wanted to make sure that we all had what

32:55 Speaker 5: we needed. Yeah.

32:56 Speaker 8: I believe our soundertech guy was the lead singer of

33:00 Speaker 8: Martial Law. I could be I could be wrong, but yeah,

33:03 Speaker 8: he's super nice. He even remembered my name because we

33:05 Speaker 8: saw him another time. I can't recall. It was the Bungalow,

33:12 Speaker 8: The Bungalow, Yes, yes, okay, I did the Bungalow Love Bungalow.

33:16 Speaker 8: But yeah, no, jewels pretty cool. I think it was

33:18 Speaker 8: our first time playing there. Yeah, or at least for

33:20 Speaker 8: me anyway. Wow, okay, and uh, we would like to

33:23 Speaker 8: go back sometime. Yeah, maybe on a more normal type

33:26 Speaker 8: of bill for us, so maybe we can do work

33:29 Speaker 8: something like.

33:29 Speaker 5: That out that was.

33:31 Speaker 7: That was my first time playing there. I've been to

33:33 Speaker 7: the Jewel a few times and uh, last time I

33:36 Speaker 7: went there, I wasn't even old enough to drink and

33:39 Speaker 7: my homie Timmy and I got kicked out because our

33:41 Speaker 7: friend's grind band was playing Yeah, and they gave me

33:46 Speaker 7: quite a I'm sorry, I purchased quite a few tequila pineapples.

33:51 Speaker 7: I was telling the guys the story last night. They're like, oh,

33:53 Speaker 7: they gave it to you. I'm like, wait, how did

33:57 Speaker 7: those kids get.

33:57 Speaker 5: In then, dude, I don't twenty one to get in

34:01 Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I think they might have had

34:02 Speaker 5: any they had access on their hands, because that's the

34:06 Speaker 5: first thing I said, is how did you get in here?

34:09 Speaker 2: Like?

34:10 Speaker 5: Did you crawl in through the wall?

34:12 Speaker 7: You know, I wouldn't put it past them to find

34:14 Speaker 7: an open window somewhere and just crawling. They crawl in

34:17 Speaker 7: through a window like holding a knife rambow style and

34:19 Speaker 7: attack'd be like, I heard what you said on the

34:41 Speaker 6: That's all right, it's good radio.

34:42 Speaker 5: Oh well, I love that for you, Matt. Deeper, to

34:46 Speaker 5: die deeper, to die deeper.

34:55 Speaker 5: Oh we Trash Street Trash. You haven't seen them in

35:02 Speaker 7: We're playing their uh annual barbecue we played every year.

35:07 Speaker 7: Already Dead. Those are the homies. Yeah, we love them.

35:10 Speaker 7: Uh Ian love you guys. I can't say what I'd

35:18 Speaker 8: Our homie at Basics Plus, which was his old band.

35:21 Speaker 8: He is back in the scene now, David Circle, and

35:25 Speaker 8: he has a new outfit, so i'd like to I've

35:28 Speaker 8: been to him at some point.

35:29 Speaker 5: I think it's Dave. I just said, Dave. You said David. Oh,

35:35 Speaker 5: I guess we're gonna be able to run this back

35:36 Speaker 5: after the over, and I'm going to show you that

35:38 Speaker 5: you're wrong. Oh man, I almost said, you know what

35:46 Speaker 5: I'm gonna I don't think Jamie's there anymore.

35:52 Speaker 6: Is he on Rogans?

35:53 Speaker 4: I don't know.

35:54 Speaker 6: I think they got rid of him. Then the thing

35:57 Speaker 6: now everyone that.

36:02 Speaker 7: I don't want to go down the rabbit hole. But

36:04 Speaker 7: if you're using AI for art, you're a doodoo head.

36:08 Speaker 6: There's a lot of that's been a big topic lately,

36:11 Speaker 6: people like for show flyers, whether people should.

36:14 Speaker 5: Use they're so it's too easy.

36:17 Speaker 7: So my god, they're all the same layer and like,

36:19 Speaker 7: I guess maybe I'm a little more of a stickler

36:21 Speaker 7: because I'm an artist, but like, dude, they're all the

36:24 Speaker 7: same layout. It's the same exact flyer with the same

36:27 Speaker 7: lame font and it just it looks so it's so weak,

36:30 Speaker 7: it's so lame, Like you're not you're not showing, you're

36:34 Speaker 7: not showing me you're passionate about your craft at all.

36:36 Speaker 8: My mommy are lazy as heck, and Grandma will send

36:39 Speaker 8: me things online. It'll be obvious he saw it. And

36:42 Speaker 8: I'm like, they're boomers, so like I get it. They

36:43 Speaker 8: don't really understand. But there's like a dog video skateboarding,

36:47 Speaker 8: but it's not real. But it's like, but dogs can

36:49 Speaker 8: actually skateboard in real life, So now you find me

36:51 Speaker 8: a real life skateboarding dog instead of been a generated one.

36:55 Speaker 7: Dude, I would rather the skateboarding dog than a show flyer.

37:00 Speaker 7: Even music people do, like people are using AI to

37:03 Speaker 7: make music now, and it's like you're taking.

37:05 Speaker 5: Bread out of my Oh yeah, there there's these AI

37:07 Speaker 5: bands that have a billion streams. Dude, there's one it's

37:11 Speaker 5: crazy Velvet sundowns. Yeah, that's what. Right.

37:15 Speaker 6: We did a whole segment about in Wild.

37:17 Speaker 7: Yeah absolutely wild. So I forget if it was them

37:20 Speaker 7: or if it was another one. But uh, because I

37:23 Speaker 7: listened to a lot of like cybersecurity podcasts and whatnot. Okay,

37:26 Speaker 7: but they were talking. I'm pretty sure it was them.

37:29 Speaker 7: It might have been a different guy though, that he

37:32 Speaker 7: was doing streaming fraud. He made an AI band, put

37:35 Speaker 7: it on Spotify, They never played any shows. They had

37:38 Speaker 7: three million monthly listeners. This guy got life in prison

37:42 Speaker 7: because for seven or eight years he was doing streaming fraud.

37:45 Speaker 6: That's a different guy. I know the story you're talking about.

37:48 Speaker 7: We did a segment about yeah Wild, absolutely wild, and like,

37:52 Speaker 7: I forget who I was talking to about it, but

37:54 Speaker 7: I was telling somebody about their like he got life

37:56 Speaker 7: in prison for this, Like yeah it was you yeah

37:59 Speaker 7: a word, yeah, like actually insane. But the Velvet Sundown thing,

38:04 Speaker 7: it's the meme of all the Spider Man's pointing at

38:07 Speaker 7: each other because you have one person saying, no, we're

38:10 Speaker 7: the real real Velvet Sundown.

38:11 Speaker 5: It was an art project, and then there's another one like, no,

38:14 Speaker 5: we're the real real Velvet Sundown.

38:16 Speaker 7: We recorded and the way that the article was it

38:19 Speaker 7: was like we spent many hot, sweaty summer nights.

38:23 Speaker 5: It's like, dude, that you use AI to write that.

38:25 Speaker 5: Well that's the thing.

38:26 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all like the press releases everything. It's all

38:29 Speaker 6: AI generated.

38:30 Speaker 8: Gordon Solarbrain like, come on, yeah, well I was just

38:34 Speaker 8: down in Virginia over April vacation, and I guess obviously

38:38 Speaker 8: not just there but in tons of places. But they

38:40 Speaker 8: want to put those big AI data centers everywhere and

38:44 Speaker 8: they just kill the environment and suck up resources. And

38:49 Speaker 8: one of their bigger points is like, oh, well it

38:50 Speaker 8: creates all these jobs and stuff like that. Well, yes,

38:53 Speaker 8: it creates jobs when you're building them, but when they're

38:55 Speaker 8: up and established, it only takes twenty twenty five people

38:58 Speaker 8: to run these things. It's not like sustainable, and it's

39:01 Speaker 8: just it's all pretty wacky. I don't like where all

39:03 Speaker 8: this is.

39:04 Speaker 7: Imagine imagine in conversation, every time that you responded to someone,

39:09 Speaker 7: like like, if you asked me a question and I

39:11 Speaker 7: pounded a gallon of water before I answered you.

39:16 Speaker 5: That's that's it, dude. And it's not even right, well,

39:20 Speaker 5: at least that's not. You're staying hydrated most of the

39:24 Speaker 5: time you look things up. So what I found.

39:26 Speaker 7: Side note, if you want to circumvent like when you

39:29 Speaker 7: google something is AI, if you put a swear word

39:32 Speaker 7: in your search, it circumvents that. Really, yeah, so I

39:36 Speaker 7: typically do that or I just tag tac Reddit at

39:39 Speaker 7: the end.

39:40 Speaker 5: I didn't know that I'm doing that.

39:43 Speaker 8: I don't sometimes I like rather, you know, because it

39:46 Speaker 8: gives you the AI prompt of what you're looking for,

39:48 Speaker 8: which it you know, we've continued to Google, not doing that,

39:51 Speaker 8: but I kind of like the sleuth and look for

39:53 Speaker 8: my own. It's an AI overview if you will everything

39:59 Speaker 8: I get it.

40:00 Speaker 7: I saw I saw one, and I like because the

40:02 Speaker 7: internet's full of memes and everything, I thought it was

40:04 Speaker 7: a joke and I looked it up and like, I

40:06 Speaker 7: forget it was like, if you googled, what like your

40:10 Speaker 7: standing normal body temperature is something like that, It's set

40:14 Speaker 7: one hundred and sixty five degrees.

40:16 Speaker 5: And I'm like, dude, what are you doing. You are

40:18 Speaker 5: misinforming the people. It thinks you're Thanksgiving turkey. I am

40:23 Speaker 5: a bit of a turkey.

40:25 Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.

40:26 Speaker 5: Yeah, dude, it's the world we look. I hate it.

40:30 Speaker 7: I hate it and I feel like I'm thirty two

40:34 Speaker 7: and I feel like an old man because I'm like,

40:36 Speaker 7: oh what you feel?

40:40 Speaker 5: Shut up? You're you're an old man. Oh yeah? Oh yeah,

40:43 Speaker 5: like you're some spry young buck over there. I mean,

40:47 Speaker 5: hot kettle, bro, you're your bones sound like glows sticks. Yeah.

40:53 Speaker 7: It's not the it's not the years, it's the mileage.

40:55 Speaker 2: Oh.

40:55 Speaker 6: I just realized, you've so got your U.

40:57 Speaker 7: I still have my wristband on from last night.

40:59 Speaker 6: Yeah.

41:00 Speaker 7: You know, I always call myself.

41:07 Speaker 5: They get out. Yea, so uh that's I started doing that.

41:11 Speaker 7: Uh with my fiance, we save every wristband from all

41:14 Speaker 7: the shows to Yeah, I have a giant bag of

41:17 Speaker 7: them and like I, dude, I have so many. I've

41:22 Speaker 7: started doing it, and uh, we have a we have

41:36 Speaker 6: My favorite color is red.

41:38 Speaker 5: Really, it's just interesting. That's interesting.

41:40 Speaker 7: If I was a psychologist, I could dive deeper into that.

41:43 Speaker 5: But red school, But you're not.

41:45 Speaker 7: He's a he's a parking lot psychologist. Okay, I could

41:48 Speaker 7: definitely see that. He's literally an AI psychologist basically, because

41:54 Speaker 7: you'll be like, oh, my favorite color is red, and

41:56 Speaker 7: it'll be like you.

41:56 Speaker 5: Want to die, don't you? Ten reasons why it's not.

42:53 Speaker 6: I have not heard that. I've not heard that.

44:33 Speaker 7: shrimpina thing, like I was almost screaming it. And my

44:38 Speaker 7: one of my bosses, I didn't see him, but he

45:11 Speaker 7: you know who you are?

45:12 Speaker 9: Yeah?

45:13 Speaker 5: Oh my god.

45:14 Speaker 7: So Cody and I have a running joke I put

45:17 Speaker 7: that bag there. Yes, it's literally in the liner notes

45:21 Speaker 7: of one of our albums. And then at the very

45:24 Speaker 7: end of the album, I put like I used text

45:28 Speaker 7: to speech, yeah, to say, like, you know, I'd like

45:31 Speaker 7: to thank so and so, and then it's like twenty

45:33 Speaker 7: seconds of silence and then it's I put that bag there.

45:37 Speaker 7: And I was winning for a while, and then Cody

45:40 Speaker 7: got me the job where we're working, and in my interview,

45:43 Speaker 7: at the end of my interview, the boss turns to

45:44 Speaker 7: me and he goes, oh, also, I put that bag there, dude.

45:48 Speaker 7: I literally I threw my hat on the ground. I'm like,

45:51 Speaker 7: what did you just say to me? And he just

45:54 Speaker 7: smiles and like, I texted Cody and I'm.

45:56 Speaker 5: Like, you in, what do I do?

45:59 Speaker 3: What do I even do?

46:01 Speaker 7: I cornered Zach when he was getting ready for the interview.

46:04 Speaker 5: I'm like, you don't. You don't get a say in this,

46:05 Speaker 5: like you have to say it.

46:07 Speaker 7: I was like, I don't care what you think, Like

46:09 Speaker 7: it's not inappropriate, Like it's just an inside joke, and

46:12 Speaker 7: you say it, you're going to just short circuit him

46:15 Speaker 7: in the amazing short circuit me.

46:16 Speaker 5: He did, dude.

46:17 Speaker 7: I I was so professional through the whole interview. I have,

46:21 Speaker 7: I have over a decade of experience in this line

46:23 Speaker 7: of work, so I was like very eloquent in my speaking,

46:26 Speaker 7: you know, trying to not come across.

46:28 Speaker 5: As an idiot. I was trying to pull the wool

46:31 Speaker 5: over his eyes, you know.

46:32 Speaker 7: And I'm like talking about seeing C machining and everything

46:36 Speaker 7: and like just very technical stuff.

46:38 Speaker 5: And then he's like, also I put that bag there.

46:40 Speaker 5: I'm like.

46:42 Speaker 7: Just to give you an idea of the energy that

46:44 Speaker 7: we put out at work.

46:46 Speaker 5: So that's why we were around all day.

46:52 Speaker 7: It's you know, it's it's gotta be fun if yeah,

46:55 Speaker 7: it's not worth dude, We're literally just like walking around

46:57 Speaker 7: quoting SpongeBob all day. Yeah, Like there's all these number

47:01 Speaker 7: one rule to have that's great. That's the second is

47:05 Speaker 7: a no high ball, No Jude high ball, No Jude. Yeah,

47:09 Speaker 7: past that part of my life now.

47:11 Speaker 5: Lots of inside jokes that people want to understand on

47:12 Speaker 5: the radio, it's all lower.

47:15 Speaker 6: Well, you did a good job explaining that one though.

47:16 Speaker 5: Oh thank you. We need a Wikipedia page for lore.

47:21 Speaker 5: Wikipedia page.

47:22 Speaker 7: A cyber truckster of buy a refrigerator. Yeah, final man

47:27 Speaker 7: looking cars.

47:28 Speaker 6: I see a lot of those around Manchester.

47:30 Speaker 5: Yeah see, I don't know.

47:31 Speaker 7: People used to flip the bird at those trucks. And

47:34 Speaker 7: then the funniest thing happened when everyone's like, it's just

47:36 Speaker 7: so much better.

47:37 Speaker 5: Of a react if you yeah, it's hilarious.

47:42 Speaker 7: It's so much funnier because like you flipped someone off.

47:44 Speaker 7: It's aggressive, but you boo somebody or just shake your head. No,

47:48 Speaker 7: it's it's the equivalent of when you would get in

47:50 Speaker 7: trouble as a kid and your parents are like, I'm

47:51 Speaker 7: not mad, I'm disappointed.

47:53 Speaker 5: That's always the worst it cuts.

47:55 Speaker 7: You might be in the minority here, but it's like,

47:57 Speaker 7: I feel like they could have been cool, like at

48:00 Speaker 7: some level, like you know, just changed the body style

48:02 Speaker 7: a little bit. I used to make fun of Cody's

48:04 Speaker 7: so much, but he said that one time and I

48:06 Speaker 7: took and ran with it. I like in our group chat,

48:09 Speaker 7: I changed his name to cyber Truck Enthusiasts. Oh yeah,

48:13 Speaker 7: it's funny. It's like, you know it's supposed to be bulletproof.

48:16 Speaker 5: You know, it's got that world thing too. I guess

48:20 Speaker 5: the build quality is off.

48:22 Speaker 8: So many recalls from obviously I told you what I

48:25 Speaker 8: for work, and yeah, from an automotive point of view,

48:28 Speaker 8: they're just they're super too deep and they catch on

48:31 Speaker 8: fire and they catch well, that's electric cars in general

48:35 Speaker 8: for sure.

48:36 Speaker 7: The thing that got me the most with those is

48:37 Speaker 7: the electronic steering rack. So it's like it's not at

48:41 Speaker 7: all feel right. Older drive an older car that has

48:46 Speaker 7: like a touch screen and you try to do something

48:47 Speaker 7: on the radio, there's that delay.

48:48 Speaker 9: Yeah.

48:49 Speaker 7: Yeah, So the cyber trucks are already starting to get

48:52 Speaker 7: the delay with their steering, so you'll you can find

48:54 Speaker 7: a video online. It's pretty prevalent. But it's like the scarring,

48:57 Speaker 7: like glitches out. It turns the wheel and then there's

49:00 Speaker 7: like a solid like half second pause.

49:03 Speaker 6: Wheels turn. It's like, yeah, that's not right. Wow, No,

49:05 Speaker 6: that's very dangerous.

49:06 Speaker 5: I'm very old school with cars.

49:07 Speaker 7: It's like it's got to be you know Rack and

49:10 Speaker 7: Pinion li by Cable like you know what, that's it

49:12 Speaker 7: worked for a thousand years. It's all this electronic stuff

49:15 Speaker 7: just ruins my life.

49:17 Speaker 5: Just get just just get yourself a horse. At that point, well, guys,

49:23 Speaker 5: we are.

49:23 Speaker 6: We're almost out of time. We got one more track

49:26 Speaker 6: to play useless apologies, but before we start to wrap up.
