[00:00:00] Emily: welcome to the good offset podcast. My name is Emily and

[00:00:16] Andrew: my name is

[00:00:17] Emily: Andrew and I have a new hat.

[00:00:19] Andrew: I see that hat, it looks new.

[00:00:22] Emily: It is, I got it in Winthrop, Washington. I was on vacation and I got a hat and I got a little hat man that had just tie, always ties the look together. I think hats. I know. I’m sure you can see it, but it very well, but, um, Andrew can’t do yours can, but I just feel like a band around the brim of a hat.

[00:00:46] Just like a nice, just like a nice rug. Yeah. It’s got a pinch middle first time in a while. I’ve had a, a real kind of crown like that. It’s not a Stetson. I didn’t go full sets in this time. I went to the mountains for a few days with my, my brother. And there was a corgi presence. So I learned my lesson concerning sets into corgis.

[00:01:13] However, Tony, the Cory is much more well behaved than cowboy was around. Stetson’s better track, record,

[00:01:22] Andrew: fitting name though, for the incident.

[00:01:26] Emily: Yeah, no man. Speaking of that story, I, I. There’s a demo coming out, I guess it’s probably, probably, it’s gotta be out by the time this, uh, podcast episode is released because of the embargoes.

[00:01:42] Uh, so this episode is released late. You know why? Uh, I Don my Stetson it’s released a demo for the new fender, acoustic Sonic player Telecaster. Oh, It’s a no, because it’s another one. This one is obviously it’s a Telecaster.

[00:02:04] Andrew: Like what you said a word in there that has me interested. Player

[00:02:12] Emily: made a mess.

[00:02:15] Yeah. I, she’s not really that significantly different. Um, I mean, I’ve only ever played the jazz master. I hadn’t played the telecast, the original Telecaster version. So as far as like real apples to apples, uh, I can’t give you like that much, but like I was playing my jazz master cause the Sonic all weekend in the mountains.

[00:02:34] And I’m like, yeah. As far as like, feel acoustic, feel the Jazzmasters a little bigger sounds. Cause I think of the bigger body, but construction. Really really comparable. Um, the big difference is in the electronics, a new player has three positions instead of six, three positions to five, which, uh, with the blend knob, it means it has six unique voices instead of 10.

[00:03:04] So that’s two acoustic sounds, a two PSO low-fi sounds and two electric sounds. So unfortunately you don’t have the body sensor pickup and the.

[00:03:16] Andrew: At the

[00:03:16] Emily: same time. Well, you can never use an well, you can blend between two of them. Same time actually. There’s actually, there’s one big, huge thing that I think is actually an improvement upon the Kisa Sonic series.

[00:03:29] And that’s that instead of having a USB charger for your app to pick up, it’s a Naval battery, you get 22 hours of planning time. They said. It’s a lot more convenient to switch between batteries between shows or mid show.

[00:03:46] Andrew: If you hate the environment,

[00:03:49] Emily: I’ll give rechargeable, not do I’ll give her a chargeable nine volts.

[00:03:52] I’ll give her chargeable nine volts. But like the idea of like, if you were, if you were taking this on to her and you had to like charge it up every time. Right. Every couple of nights or halfway in to

[00:04:04] Andrew: show him like, um, Hey you, uh, do you have an iPhone charger? Yeah. You let me, let me

[00:04:11] Emily: it. I need to USB-C.

[00:04:12] So yeah, I think a huge improvement. I really hope that I incorporate that like option. Actually, I don’t, I don’t think it was an option in the, the American series, but I love it. It’s an option now.

[00:04:26] Andrew: And that’s uh, yeah. I, 100% agree. That’s it? That first whole host of reasons, I think that makes so much.

[00:04:33] Emily: Yeah, but I’ve been playing a lot of Alison chains on it.

[00:04:45] Awkward here.

[00:04:52] forgot the words. Damn.

[00:04:59] no.

[00:05:05] Andrew: Yeah. So what are, what are some of the colors that are available this round? Cause I don’t remember seeing a yellow one

[00:05:09] Emily: before butterscotch a blind. Um, I believe there was a Hawaiian that, uh, there is a burst. Um, I think there was a black as well or a more traditional woodgrain

[00:05:28] therefore colors that I know of. Sorry, I don’t remember all of them. I just immediately saw. The butterscotch blonde. And I didn’t even like give me the yellow shaming email later. Cause I was like walking like on my way to get my hair done when I got that email in and I was just like, not really paying as close attention as I shouldn’t have been.

[00:05:49] I was like, I’ll take the yellow and the capitalized, the w Y randomly E L L O and no, w I’m like, that was a great email. Perfect. Beautiful email Emily.

[00:06:11] Um, haven’t I been, I been out of town. I didn’t take that one with me just in the off chance and ended up in a

[00:06:19] Andrew: picture it’s better to, and then pretty much anything on the rack at guitar center.

[00:06:29] Emily: Yeah. Yup. I can’t, I can’t, I kinda can’t believe it didn’t link. Honestly, there were a few close calls, I think a few close calls,

[00:06:39] Andrew: but, uh, here we are,

[00:06:41] Emily: there was someone I messaged about it. Like they had a listing up on river, like yeah, like it goes on sale on Monday. And then I looked like six hours later and like I’ve never seen again, entire reverb listing get pulled.

[00:06:57] I didn’t know. They could do. And then just say, this is no longer off on sale. Like the pictures were pulled in everything. So I don’t know if they got reverb chat or something, or like, we’re going to stop

[00:07:09] Andrew: make it go

[00:07:09] Emily: away. Oh my God. We’re never going to be work with the neuro good

[00:07:21] Andrew: they’re shaming.

[00:07:23] Emily: Yeah, not gonna do it, not gonna that’s mine. That’s not my only, and what’s new this week so far

[00:07:30] more

[00:07:30] Andrew: than what’s

[00:07:30] Emily: now. Yeah. It’s going to be, it’s going to be a lot of what’s new this week. I got the rare buzz effects, fuzz bomb. This video is also already out launch yesterday and. I saw it.

[00:07:46] I messaged, I messaged John and I’m like, is that as supposed to Obama reference to Scott Pilgrim. And he’s like, yeah. And then I was talking to Rick. I’m like, Hey, what’s that cartoon characters name? Not as like, I mean, a video game characters name on it. I was like, oh gosh, I don’t know. So I was like looking at Mario balm character.

[00:08:06] His name is Bob bomb. I’m like,

[00:08:12] Andrew: Hang on. Let me move my mic for this one

[00:08:15] Emily: address and move. Isn’t it like we are

[00:08:23] Andrew: be,

[00:08:26] Emily: I might’ve played that song in the demo

[00:08:30] Andrew: as you should.

[00:08:32] Emily: I wonder if I’m the only one who did it because I didn’t see the other demo, right? Probably not.

[00:08:40] Andrew: In the back of my head that I remember from the, like the first battle of the bands that they did and just like the, um, the garbage trucks song. I remember like hearing them like as a kid, like, oh, this is so anxious and stuff.

[00:08:50] And now I’m like this, like the lyric lyrically. That almost sounds like it could be a kid

[00:08:54] Emily: song. I mean, it’s a, it’s a, it’s a song from a comic book movie. Yep. That’s great. Well, it’s like a lot of punk rock songs. It’s like, it’s fun. It’s fun.

[00:09:10] Andrew: It’s been a weird few days for punk rock. I will say

[00:09:12] Emily: that. Are you saying that because Johnny rotten was on the mass singer?

[00:09:17] Andrew: Oh, I didn’t hear about that. That’s weird.

[00:09:19] Emily: That makes it weirder. I mean, that is one of the weird things. And then Robin, Dick was like this guy, literally infinity, punk rock. I was like, no bad Robin Thicke, bad, wrong. Yeah, it was in America for Greg was in America and then British people did their own and kind of made it more popular and then brought back to America.

[00:09:45] Andrew: Yeah, that’s a, you know, steal from a British phrase. I mean, it’s a bit thick that one,

[00:09:49] Emily: well, Robin thinks whole career is stealing from other people. So what the hell does he know about that? So he likes to get, he likes to get more themes.

[00:10:03] Golf club. Yup. I like that one.

[00:10:09] Andrew: Uh, no, I was, I there’s that show that the, the video got shared it

[00:10:17] Emily: shit yet. I’ve been like had no cell it all day.

[00:10:22] Andrew: Um, it, that was, uh, not what I expected to wake up to in the.

[00:10:30] I guess in Florida of all places, the front woman of a rage against the machine cover band.

[00:10:36] Emily: Oh, that’s what it was. It really was a rage against the machine cover band.

[00:10:38] Andrew: Okay. Brass against the machine, like drag. Some dude on stage dropped her pants, peed on his face, like squatted peed on his face. And then he just like ran off stage.

[00:10:49] Emily: Wait, he wait, start

[00:10:54] Andrew: some fan of the band that got up on stage, laid down. She popped a squat peed on his face and he, oh, that’s my

[00:11:02] Emily: headphones. So two listeners, Andrew, Andrew, Andrew just made a head shaking back and forth motion to illustrate. Yeah. So the guys, the guy seemed enthusiastic.

[00:11:21] Andrew: He did like, it was fully consensual, like, so like the whole thing was like, okay, like just weird stuff at a punk rock show, except it was being strained, unintended prince on Twitch.

[00:11:32] And apparently they had to like Twitch, like immediately killed the.

[00:11:38] Emily: Wow.

[00:11:39] Andrew: Yeah. I mean, I suppose all publicity is good. Listen,

[00:11:44] Emily: I guess, fuck you. I won’t do what you tell me. Only go so far. Shit.

[00:11:51] Andrew: Um, yeah, what’s a good jokes about that, but it was also like, I was like, so like pre caffeine reading this and the Twitter.

[00:11:59] The discord server, man, what

[00:12:03] Emily: is this real? Tell me some of that good jokes. Do you remember any of them? Cause

[00:12:07] Andrew: I could pull them up enough.

[00:12:10] Emily: I only 1660 cycle home had a very spicy like Eric Clapton thread going over the weekend. A lot of fun. Yep. The thing is like more than a lot of groups. Like every time something controversial happens in the sixth cycle home group, there’s always like a couple of people who have like, never commented or have a comment has like five times in three years, like rage quit.

[00:12:37] And you’re like, oh, okay, bye.

[00:12:42] Andrew: This is my personal favorite comment is a rage against the law. The latrine

[00:12:50] Emily: that’s good.

[00:12:52] Andrew: Excellent. And then another comment rage against the machine

[00:12:55] Emily: tip to literal hat tip, tip to Joe Braga,

[00:13:00] Andrew: uh, rage against the machine. We want to piss some people off with a song and brass against a machine. We want to piss on some people with, um, yeah, people were having a field day with that and I’m sure somewhere in the deep corners of a prison, our Kelly’s just absolutely beside himself that this is okay now.

[00:13:23] To delineate the differences to given

[00:13:28] Emily: the there’s some

[00:13:30] Andrew: difference. Um, I mean, yeah, I just got to crack out of that. I’m like, well, I mean, they’re all, everybody’s okay with it. And the only caveat I could possibly think of is it not being an old lady to show, uh, Dude it’s punk rock. Go for it. I don’t know.

[00:13:50] Emily: I met a cowboy this weekend. Um, my brother, it’s a bit of a cow poke. Uh, we were up in, um, near Winthrop, which is kind of like a Western kind of place. And we were going to, um, Uh, a twist to a brewery, sorry. I took up the brewery and there was this, uh, as we were driving there, there was this guy dressed like as a very, very, it was just like a S like he was in the sons of the pioneers, which is a Western singing group from like those old cowboy movies.

[00:14:28] And you just. Dog faithfully behind him. So he goes to the brewery, we’re drinking and who walks in, but Mr. Kalpoe and my niece just really wanted to pet the dogs. I’m like, oh yeah, we’ll go. And we’ll, we’ll put the dog, come on. Let’s go. Let’s go ahead. So then I like asked the guy, I’m like, oh, what’s the dog’s name?

[00:14:49] He says, oh, you’ll play. I’m like, oh, like the yogurt. And he’s like, yeah, I like the yogurt. I’m like, well, what’s your name? And he’s like, John, like the yogurt. So, you know, he had a good sense of humor about it. Yeah, it was pretty good. And he got, we got to meet his horse. Uh, Charlie named after the, uh, um, famous cowboy detective and Pinkerton detective.

[00:15:12] Sounds like quite the character. There’s a song about Charlie. Cerego Charlie Seringa to American protective.

[00:15:25] Yes. American lawman, detective bounty, hunter and Pinkerton agent. Yeah. This exciting. It was fun. He talked about, uh, playing the accordion more, a more of a poet.

[00:15:40] Andrew: There’s layers to this guy.

[00:15:43] Emily: Yeah. There, there really are.

[00:15:47] Andrew: I buy him a drink.

[00:15:49] Emily: Oh. I think everybody was buying that manager. And I don’t think that man’s bought his own drinks and the lawn

[00:15:57] sometimes, or we definitely have a massage. Nice. Uh, but yeah, so that was really cool to meet the horse. He’s a man that I’ve had a lot of horses in my day, but never a horse. I Charlie, Serena that, just that horse I whistle and Charlie come, she comes around and as it song, Charlie Cerego. Nope.

[00:16:22] Andrew: So I did something monumentally stupid.

[00:16:26] Ooh.

[00:16:27] Emily: Now I really want to know.

[00:16:30] Andrew: So Ryan Burke posted his hot take about cool whip in the 60 cycle hung group the other day. And

[00:16:39] Emily: this is a, this is a podcast about the 60 cycle hum group that said not the 62nd home podcast.

[00:16:46] Andrew: Uh, I mean, I didn’t even bother reading through the Eric Clapton like that. It’s probably just a bunch of people arguing about how racist he really is, uh, which doesn’t really sound like a fun argument to have.

[00:16:58] Uh, so skip to that one, went straight to the whip and I see like he’s heading on cooler in the back of my head. I’m like, oh, like I actually kinda like cool. Um, like cool up on pumpkin pie. Sounds great. And everyone, so I like, especially if it’s been in the freezer, just like a spoonful, just straight up from the freezer is great.

[00:17:19] Now I, Melissa was out for a girls night and I was like, Hey, could you bring, can you get some cool up on the way home? That’d be great. Super random. I know, but like extra creamy preferable because every unit do what you gotta do. And she brought it home and I had had couple of beers and is really great.

[00:17:45] And so is the second one. Oh boy. Before, are you finished the entire time

[00:18:00] here? Let me pull up my phone.

[00:18:02] Emily: You ain’t a whole tub of tulip, extra creamy. I didn’t even make it to the freezer.

[00:18:11] Andrew: It was still frozen. All right. What’s the timestamp on this 10, 18:00 PM. Last night. I was when I finished it and the photo of me. Oh, I guess I didn’t get a photo. Oh, here we go. The photo when I opened it.

[00:18:26] It was from 9 58. So in 20 minutes from open to,

[00:18:35] um, yeah, that was,

[00:18:37] Emily: this podcast is over. It’s done. We’re done.

[00:18:41] Andrew: Uh, so after that, I’m inclined to agree with Ryan Burke now. And I don’t know if I can ever do that again. And there was a. Like I woke up at like 3:00 AM with cramps. It was

[00:18:54] Emily: awful. Oh my God, dude.

[00:18:57] Andrew: So, uh, congratulations to Ryan. You win this round.

[00:19:06] Emily: Congratulations to whipped cream. You made a fan by default. Damn dude. That’s nasty.

[00:19:15] Andrew: It just kind of tasted like ice cream.

[00:19:18] Emily: Cool. It’s fine. Like a spoonful is fine. That is like the maximum serving of cool whip. It’s like three pieces of candy. Corn is fine. Like more pieces of candy corn than that is really not like anything like that is there’s like a limit

[00:19:39] Andrew: cycle Hampshire today.

[00:19:41] Emily: Are we just going to talk about, I go home all day.

[00:19:46] Andrew: Um, well thinking about Ryan, cause he just did that, uh, that orange supersonic as well.

[00:19:54] Emily: I wonder if he, you can join me. I wonder if you could join this mid recording.

[00:19:59] Andrew: That would be hilarious, but also I feel like we’re. I like I met her 60 cycle I’m content.

[00:20:06] Emily: So out of it, I’m

[00:20:07] Andrew: so out of it, we got other things to talk about. Do we know we have heist to talk

[00:20:12] Emily: about Mr. Sam, but first we must think Caroline guitar company. Indeed. They make fantastic guitar pedals who knows what they have planned for the rest of the year. I don’t know. So that’s why I’m on their email is because I want to be the first to find out who join their email list and the Caroline guitar company website, you’ll be the first to know about new releases.

[00:20:37] And often when they release a pedal, they release it with a special edition color merge pack or something else. That’s fun. And I highly recommend it it’s worth it. That’s how I got my somersault and my Hawaiian pizza. And I, I have no regrets. Listen, I’m in marketing and I’m a writer. I found out that some content I was writing the company was also using them to make scripts for their YouTube videos verbatim.

[00:21:07] And, um, I was telling, uh, someone, uh, I work with about this and he’s like, damn, that means your writing is good enough. Just be used as a script with no changes. I was like, yes. It also means I should have asked for more money.

[00:21:23] Andrew: It certainly does. And, uh, my, my pitch for the week was, do you like havoc in your life?

[00:21:30] Uh, because you don’t need to eat an entire type of cool up to get there. Instead you could just buy Caroline effects.

[00:21:39] Emily: Hey, Felipe message me and tell me which one you liked.

[00:21:43] Andrew: Oh, it’s

[00:21:44] Emily: not even a contest, everyone. We’re going to make a poll. Which one did you, which Caroline’s spot that you like better, which made you barf in your mouth less.

[00:21:55] Andrew: I wonder if I could get it a custom one-off says cool upon it.

[00:22:00] Emily: Which, which pedal would, would have the cool lip.

[00:22:08] I feel like the Hawaiian pizza always has like the special edition. It’d be like the American pizza with like a dope of cool.

[00:22:18] Andrew: If I could get like cooler, but then like pumpkin pie colored,

[00:22:21] Emily: the American pizza. I feel like the mirror can correct me if I’m wrong, but does his American pizza is one of the icons like a rocket pop?

[00:22:30] Andrew: That sounds

[00:22:30] Emily: right. It sounds right. Let’s just cause it sounds right. Doesn’t mean it is right.

[00:22:37] Andrew: I could see a somersault, but as like labeled as cool up and like one icon is a spoon.

[00:22:43] And what I caught is like punk slice of pumpkin pie.

[00:22:50] Emily: Um, and what else? There are two other icons. Um, one is the volume of the container, the pleading, and the other one is an ice box. The other, the other, none of the last one is regret or tummy ache. So we got container volume for the volume. We’ve got a dollop. I think that’s probably depths. Uh, the pumpkin pie is rate.

[00:23:27] And then we have the, a tummy ache does that as is the havoc switch as well. So we got, we have a few other

[00:23:35] Andrew: things.

[00:23:40] Emily: Tell me just a moment. Oh, just specifically Andrew going at three in the morning.

[00:23:50] Andrew: I was straight up awake for an hour. Like I could not sleep.

[00:23:53] Emily: No, I’ve been there. I’ve been there, but not from cool whip.

[00:23:59] Andrew: It seemed like a really great, I like it tasted great when it, like, she’s one of those, like as soon as I realized I was on the last bite, like that was, that was a mistake. It was only 20 minutes,

[00:24:10] Emily: dude, dude.

[00:24:14] Andrew: So anyways, I should actually go back. I should start dieting again tomorrow. Not like hardcore diet and just like actually eating real food.

[00:24:22] Emily: Yeah. Because there’s nothing real about cool lip. No,

[00:24:27] Andrew: like I, I’m scared to look at what the ingredients actually are. Think I’ve ever looked

[00:24:32] Emily: just don’t and don’t don’t don’t don’t ever do that again.

[00:24:39] No. Well with anything, once Rick ate an entire, like 12 pack of like those British tea biscuits, it was like, they’re like the cookies, but they’re really dense. Yeah. They’re, they’re really dense. Cause you’re only supposed to eat one.

[00:24:56] Andrew: He got sick. Yeah. Hmm. I like what, like Walker, shortbread.

[00:25:03] Emily: Um,

[00:25:05] Andrew: well, So I’m trying to think if there’s a good transition here and your topic

[00:25:11] Emily: for the day, really sick, that you shouldn’t do things you shouldn’t do

[00:25:20] Andrew: things that you shouldn’t do.

[00:25:21] That was

[00:25:22] Emily: pretty good, right? That wasn’t bad. That wasn’t as good as my other one.

[00:25:28] Andrew: No, it was not nearly as good as your other one, but yeah, it’s fine. I, I. I’m recovering. My entire gut biome is recovering and that inflows is so much more of everything else. So that’s my, that’s my cop out. So speaking of things you shouldn’t do there, uh, article came out today, it seems.

[00:25:50] Something like straight out of like science fiction. Um, not really science fiction, more like a daytime crime drama, uh, with the, the headline was, uh, DNA, like treaty and a used to convince felon or something.

[00:26:05] Emily: You sent me this article. I haven’t, I didn’t read it. I was like, what?

[00:26:10] Andrew: Yeah. So like, it’s like, it’s a total clickbait article.

[00:26:14] I was really thrown by it, but, uh, so I was like, okay, well, I’ll buy, oh, read. It was one of those suggested articles and reading through it. It’s like, so this dude was illegally harvesting, uh, maple trees out of the Olympic national forest for a. And it didn’t say it. Yeah. From a national park in specific Grove of maple.

[00:26:38] And he was, he had a friend that worked at a lumber mill. So he was able to, uh, like falsify the documents should saying that it was all like soup, like legal wood shit. And it doesn’t say what kind of maple, but it does say that it was a variety of maple used for musical inspiration. Which I thought was fascinating.

[00:27:01] Um, and he was con he was first caught because they decided, uh, so the reason why it all fell apart is their slick operation. Nobody had any idea until they actually burned down like hundreds of acres. The reason why they actually burned down hundreds of acres is they’re trying to take care of a wasp nest.

[00:27:21] And they thought the best way to take care of it would be to spray it down with some gasoline in light of that. Oh, my God,

[00:27:29] Emily: these guys were both really smart and souls. So still I,

[00:27:37] Andrew: I think like almost a stupid is like somebody who would like eat an entire container of cool whip at once. Just like they make spray for, it might have been the kind of thing.

[00:27:50] Like they’d already tracked all the way out there for the day and they didn’t, you know, have like wasp killer on them. They didn’t want it to take the day off to go out and get some comeback. I will. Why do we have, I don’t know, siphoned some hose out of the back of the truck, maybe that’ll work. There’s something dumb like that.

[00:28:05] I

[00:28:05] Emily: bet they have regrets.

[00:28:07] Andrew: Yeah. So they, they started a forest fire. They got caught in the process and then despite their best efforts. Uh, to defend their actions, they got busted and the whole chain fell apart because they started testing the lumber that had hit the mill, uh, with the, they tested the DNA versus the leftover tree stumps.

[00:28:28] And the DNA was like a one in like 300 million trillion kazillion, whatever, like likelihood that it wasn’t a match.

[00:28:36] Emily: Oh my God.

[00:28:39] Andrew: So, yeah, it’s apparently it’s a first for lumber crimes to use treating. But I thought aside from just how absolutely comical that story is, uh, but also a little heartbreaking.

[00:28:50] It’s also very strange because that’s, that’s still local. Like we’ve talked about on the podcast before, like ethical sourcing for, for lumber, for musical instruments.

[00:29:01] Emily: Uh, I’ve never thought that like, it would even be like in the realm of possibilities that someone would be stealing it from a national park.

[00:29:11] Andrew: And documents to be able to sell it.

[00:29:14] Emily: You’re not supposed to cut down trees and parks. If you’ve seen that. And everybody’s seen elf.

[00:29:24] Andrew: Yep. Oh, that was a good one. Yeah. Yeah. So I’m full of them, cheers to them being done. But I think the thought that crossed my mind is, so these are the guys that got cut. And I don’t know if there’s a statistic on this, but I feel like it’s a sort of thing.

[00:29:40] Like for every one person that gets caught there’s X amount of people that, that are actively getting away with it. And I just thought that was interesting to sit in the back of my mind to go. I wonder if anything,

[00:29:51] Emily: I mean, parks systems are huge. There are people living there. And stuff. Yeah. Like they’re like people actively living in national parks.

[00:30:00] You’re not supposed to do that. You’re really, really not. Right. There is an episode of, I think it was like American horror stories. Like the whole play was like, they’re very S Gary breeds of humans living. National parks, but, uh, I don’t think it’s anything quite that scary. I mean, it’s definitely, probably not people you’d like super-duper one to run into, but, um,

[00:30:27] Andrew: it’s not like Sasquatch, maybe that’s why parts of the national parks are closed off to the

[00:30:34] Emily: public.

[00:30:36] Well, that was part of the like episode was like, that’s why it happens sometimes is they have to close things down and bring in the government and like, The people. Yeah, I contain it. That’s a nice way to say a nice way to say bringing the military to kill human beings, monsters, but yeah, I got dark. Um, I know there’s the loss of the happens and

[00:31:00] Andrew: let’s just call a spade, a spade here.

[00:31:03] Emily: I mean, it wasn’t. It was, that’s not what I was going for in this app. I was just talking about the episodes of television shows specifically. And while I am assuming that is what it was about. Vaguely, not quite, it was more of a zombie esque than that. It was kind of more zombie ask, uh, Ooh, God that got dark.

[00:31:34] Yeah. But it was also a national pair. Huge there, you know, um, speaking of that, like there was that, um, that galley, the Pete.

[00:31:47] Uh, yeah. That woman who was murdered by her boyfriend,

[00:31:52] Andrew: like remains were found in Florida. Yeah.

[00:31:56] Emily: Uh, he died one way or another. Um, but when they were trying to find his body, they found like between six and nine other missing persons just to the search for him. Yep. So it says a lot about like, What we do and do not find in these national parks.

[00:32:19] Yes. Yeah. And there are a lot of forests and forests are huge and dense. They are, and there a lot of logging operations and you can’t really always see what’s going on. From planes in forests, um, because of cloud cover and, uh, fog and haze and things like that, you really need, uh, vehicles that can fly a little bit lower, like drones, especially for some smaller scale operations.

[00:32:51] Like if it’s not like a lot of things at once, like, I don’t know how big this operation was, but unless they were bringing in like a lot of trucks and clearing like a bunch of trees every day, I don’t know if it would have been like that noticeable by Eric. Yeah. So, yeah, I actually so stupid. I notice, like I just was talking to someone who works in forestry the other day and was talking to them about drones versus airplanes.

[00:33:25] So stupid. I don’t know why this is a weird knowledge you accumulate from talking to people. You talked to peoples.

[00:33:33] Andrew: It is fun. I recommend it some of the time in moderation, all things moderation.

[00:33:39] Emily: Yeah. I was listening to the cocaine and rhinestones podcast. If you listened to that, the season two yet season one.

[00:33:49] No, he really gets into the music, production stuff of it. And that’s really cool. Um, like they were talking, he was talking about how, uh, back when they were only using stand-up bass, uh, it was really hard to record bass and in studio and depending on what key the song was in, they would move the microphone around in the room.

[00:34:08] And if there was a certain level of humidity and heat outside, they just knew you were going to get a bad bass sound. And that’s why I started using baritone guitar is to do like a ticky-tacky kind of based out. Um, to kind of go along. So the baritone got the attack that the upright bass wasn’t getting, and then the bass still got the low thump.

[00:34:30] So it was kind of a blend of two things that, um, were basically solved by getting the, uh, the invention of a standard, um, four string bass. It was really interesting to hear that. Yeah, it is name

[00:34:47] Andrew: modern problems require

[00:34:50] Emily: a lot. And, uh, the drums on the were banned from the grand Ole Opry for a very long time.

[00:34:56] I forget that you’d be shocked. Listen, not that you listen to all the country music, so you wouldn’t be shocked how little of it has drums, even if it sounds like it has drums, you don’t miss them because there’s so much percussive stuff going on with the basis. Hang the backbeat, um, and tricks from the guitar.

[00:35:14] Okay, so miss it it’s like the base and when doves cry, you just don’t miss it recommended listening. Even though sometimes the intros are weird and long, they come, it comes back, comes back around some, usually for a couple of episodes that are going on, we’re listening and we’re like, he never really came back to that intro.

[00:35:37] Diddy. No, not, not a way. We’ve recognized naturally. Wow. Well F intentionally, always intentionally Tyler May handcuff. The host is a brilliant writer and historian. So

[00:35:52] Andrew: you bring it back to the intro. Taylor swift.

[00:35:55] Emily: Oh, did you watch on us now?

[00:35:58] Andrew: No. I just heard that she did the full, like 10 minute version and then people are dissing Jake, Jill in the hall on a, on the internet.

[00:36:05] Now

[00:36:06] Emily: I want to have two artists to just do one long song on SNL. And so two short ones or regular length ones, you know, the. Nope.

[00:36:16] Andrew: That makes sense. Yeah,

[00:36:19] Emily: it makes sense. I would know that then

[00:36:21] Andrew: that does a lot of things just lined right

[00:36:25] Emily: there, watching the performance. I was thinking a few things. One, she was 22 when she was writing lyrics like that.

[00:36:36] Like, damn, I can’t pull them out of my head cause it’s actually pretty late at night and I’m a little tired.

[00:36:43] Andrew: Oh yeah. And I just finished my peppermint tea. So my body’s like, eh,

[00:36:47] Emily: what was the name of that song? All too well. Right. So she was like, oh, like, um, that was a good one. Um, but, but, uh, duh, duh, duh. Um,

[00:37:11] so casually cruel in the name of being honest, I’m like, dammit, that’s a good layer for a 22 year old to ride. Holy moly. So I thought about like that, I know there’s a song writer on that song, but I don’t know who wrote that lion, but Hey, that’s a good one.

[00:37:28] Andrew: Definitely listening to that record a lot hot, like thinking about heartbreak.

[00:37:36] Emily: That’s a good one. And the other thing was, I was, I was one of the things I was in. I was actually three things I was thinking about when I was watching this performance. Someone was damn. She was only 22 when she was writing those lyrics. The second one was man, we were pretty mean to her about. Not being a very good singer when she was 20, 22 and stuff like that.

[00:38:00] And three, like she’s obviously taken singing lessons and gotten better at singing. But what I noticed during the performance was the one thing she’s gotten a lot better at was when she wasn’t able to hold out a note or wasn’t really happening. Like she wouldn’t try to keep trying to go for it. She just, instead of trying to hold it out more, she just let it go and don’t force it don’t force it.

[00:38:27] So she’s like just the growth as a performer is really cool. But yeah, I guess that sounds about Jake Gyllenhaal.

[00:38:37] Andrew: That’s the rumor on the street

[00:38:40] Emily: that line about like turning 21 should be fun or something. Oh man. I can see I, and like I was reading, just reading a couple tweets about it. Like I can see why her fans get so like invested in deciphering her lyrics.

[00:38:56] Yup. Yeah. Cause like, especially reading that one and then the. Like the, then seeing that there were fan theories that she wrote 22, because turning 21 was such a shit show and she had such a terrible 21st birthday that turned into fun. Yeah. That doesn’t make sense. Yeah. I mean, that’s just, it’s fun to be able to put things together like that.

[00:39:20] Andrew: That came out before I turned 22. So I definitely saying that on my 22nd birthday.

[00:39:25] Emily: Yeah. I mean, she and I were the same age, so yeah, it’s saying that a lot at that age. And I also did not really know what to being 22 felt like other than not having a lot of money and being really confused and having a lot of struggles.

[00:39:43] And I feel like that was kind of the. Yup. Uh, so that’s what these points you felt like to me, like, I kinda knew what was happening in college and now I don’t know what’s happening at all, help somebody help. And now here I am 32, who

[00:40:02] Andrew: I think I had 22. I had just moved back to LA with Melissa in the kiddo.

[00:40:13] And I was working at guitar center.

[00:40:15] Emily: Yeah, I had just graduated college, I guess, and had started my job at the Tennessee. And, uh, I guess I’m at Rick that year, so I was pretty cool. Very good. Very good. That job. Cause it’s uh, yeah, it was not bad. Not a bad year. Never all rough start, solid finish. Maybe, you know, building blocks.

[00:40:43] It was a building blocks of what’s become pretty good time. I got my little pumpkin on my shoulder.

[00:40:50] Andrew: Well, all of that said. Polishing through the wall right now. She’s gonna be mad at me. I’ve been teasing her all week and she’s like, I’m so excited about it. Like she has rarely sing her old song. It was, they’re being excited about

[00:41:04] Emily: dang

[00:41:08] Andrew: more and extended versions.

[00:41:10] And like, this is so cool. Like, yeah, I know, but

[00:41:14] Emily: I think it would feel like a long, 10 minutes. Some people will disagree for sure. I know. She is become a lot more famous. I think anyone ever expected her to be,

[00:41:31] and we were all myself included. So mean about her not being like a great singer. You know, she was writing really, really well for anybody, especially at that time.

[00:41:48] Andrew: I think when I was, you know, high school and whatnot, like if you’d asked me if I had to pick, like, who’s going to go farther in their career, like do better for the launch.

[00:41:56] Like Justin Bieber, Taylor swift, I probably would’ve gone with Bieber.

[00:41:59] Emily: Oh God. I would not have never, never would have gone with Bieber. I thought he was a fly thigh. I actually didn’t think he would do this well at all. I thought he was a big flash in the band.

[00:42:12] Andrew: Yeah. I mean,

[00:42:17] Emily: I thought, I thought Casha would have been even bigger than she is. And I think she would have been if it hadn’t been for

[00:42:27] Andrew: no, I think of like looking at like Bieber’s recent stuff. Like it’s one of those, like you either die the hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. It’s kind of. Hmm,

[00:42:40] Emily: he’s got his fan base. He’s doing his thing. He’s still getting booked on SNL and stuff and releasing truly atrocious music in my humble opinion.

[00:42:55] And if the hook is you’ve got that yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, like it’s just the worst. One of the worst words in the English language. The same, like, unless you’re trying to convince a little child to eat something that like green is green on the plate, does it? Mm, yummy. That’s gross. That’s not sexual at all.

[00:43:16] Leave, leave, leave, leave things. You save literal children out of the bedroom.

[00:43:25] Oh no. Oh, alright. Well, disgusting. Just start off

[00:43:34] Andrew: with eco-friendly wood sourcing and ended with Justin Bieber’s mustache. I think we’ve drifted.

[00:43:43] Emily: Yeah. But I feel like we need to practice something joyful. Uh, we’re still, there’s still time to sign up for our Patrion $25 secret Santa. So check us out at patrion.com/would get upset, please.

[00:44:22] Uh, we are only a part of that extra access and, and, uh, you do get early access to non embargo videos. You didn’t see the QSA Sonic video earlier, but you see some other things that really yep. What else do you get for the $5 Patrion for $10? You get merged. So Jason Welsh, tell me what Murchie thing you want.

[00:44:44] Ooh, I need to PayPal Holly. Holly, I’m going to pay value. I promise. I promise. I promise. I promise I’m watching this. I promise future Emily future Emily PayPal health.

[00:45:03] Andrew: There is a hardcore cover of a wiggle song coming down. The pipeline spent some time writing how I want to build that out and helps that I actually finally got my pickups in.

[00:45:15] Like, you probably can’t see it, but now the Ivan has got those grinders Lambert tones grinders in there last week. It had been noodling on that this week. Cool. Kind of getting the. The wiggles out pun intended, but like, you know, it’s like, like, oh yeah, you know, I’ve got like high gain pickups and like, I can get, do the chugga chugga.

[00:45:31] And I just like sit down and chug it for like five minutes. Like, all right, now I should actually do something other than just chugging it and getting out of my system and.

[00:45:40] Emily: Don’t forget to do put in a QC, a mic up separately, just like the fret board of the guitar, not plugged in like just acoustically and, uh, gait it real hard and hard pan it and do that twice so that you still get the strumming sound on the guitar because otherwise, sometimes the strumming gets lost in the mix.

[00:46:04] Andrew: It’s the technique I consider before. Did didn’t know, I’ll check it out.

[00:46:09] Emily: I, it adds some clarity to the mix. Sometimes. If, if you, if you find, if you find that your strumming pattern is getting lost in the mix.

[00:46:20] Andrew: Well, my plan is to do all of the, um, all the,

[00:46:24] Emily: it actually, if you don’t want to, but creates a better,

[00:46:29] Andrew: no, I was going to do the, um, what do you call it?

[00:46:32] All my, uh, high gain sounds out of the pocket.

[00:46:38] Emily: Yeah, then actually

[00:46:40] Andrew: fairly impressed with how good it sounds. I’m using the, uh, the orange AMS emulator to kind of dial in some sounds, at least just for writing with, and very happy with,

[00:46:49] Emily: yeah. It’s still very easy to lose strums and I gain yep. Just an idea. Yep.

[00:47:00] Andrew: No, I, that that would probably be worth tracking.

[00:47:03] And then the wonder, the thing I’m thinking about, like, as I’m like kind of writing this out, like, okay, do I want to like, sh I’ve got a friend who’s offering, um, to help produce it with me. It’s like a fun Saturday afternoon. Like. At least lace and tracks first and then have them and be like, all right.

[00:47:18] Here’s like at least 90%, if we need to add one or two things great, where should I like have them over and start from scratch and let

[00:47:23] Emily: them, well, I would at least record some, um, like this, this is, these are my ideas, but I wouldn’t record anything. You wouldn’t be willing to like, get rid of.

[00:47:35] Andrew: Yeah, that makes sense.

[00:47:37] Yeah. Thankfully the only part that I’m gonna want to probably really doing advances the drum parts. Cause that’s going to just be typing that in on a keyboard, into lunch. Yeah.

[00:47:53] Emily: I can’t wait to get that Roland for, for

[00:47:58] the most unnecessary thing I’ve ever gotten just on gift cards.

[00:48:04] Andrew: But it might become one of the most necessary things that you enjoy. God, I have a drum machine,

[00:48:14] Emily: uh, electric, Trump’s going to get down to well they’re analog drums that just sampled they’re real drums. They are real drums. People forget that samples are real instruments.

[00:48:28] Andrew: Agreed. I concur. Thank you for watching.

[00:48:34] Emily: Thanks for listening. My name is Andrew. Thanks for understanding. There we go. My name is Emily bye-bye. Wow. I was just waiting for you to say goodbye. Wow. Okay. Bye.
