00:08:33
Speaker
For those you guys who don't know who the movie is, it wasn't... Your head wasn't crooked. Your head was a little off-center. i yeah I couldn't figure it out. It was driving me crazy. It was like one of those OCD things. Like, what's going on? And then, of course, the camera's mirrored, so I'm... There's nowhere to hide, man.
00:08:53
Speaker
Yeah, I'm a mess. I'm a hot mess over here. Don't mind me. I'm going to...
00:09:01
Speaker
For those of you guys who don't know who Bo is, Bo, you've been in the music the music business for for a long time, haven't you? You've been doing a little bit of everything, haven't Yes. I've been doing this since the 17th century, Glick.
00:09:16
Speaker
Nice. Early 17th century. I go back a bit. you know my My first band was called War.
00:09:29
Speaker
And my parents came out and saw that and said, no, you can't have that. But we had a peace sign on our drum, so we used peace. And that was 1966, so I go back a little bit.
00:09:41
Speaker
Oh, wow. but i didn't figure you you to be that old. Not that you're old. No, I didn't figure you to be that old, too, until I looked at my birthday. That wasn't good. Music show?
00:09:54
Speaker
Huh? Music show? Yes. We got 1,000 lunches packed but within an hour. Nice. Like, I'm not doing anything here. My daughter wants to come in and start talking to me. um Right. That's how it works. You can tell me later.
00:10:08
Speaker
Don't have kids.
00:10:11
Speaker
Apparently, yeah, apparently 20 years old, she's too old to be put up for adoption. so Right. between the I had six and my my wife had two, and so we have either 16 or 18 grandchildren between us. So, ah yeah, I'm...
00:10:29
Speaker
When you get around, it ends up getting around, you know? Yeah. ah Yeah. Sometimes they like don't realize that, you know, most of my shows they can like but but when I'm live, they can pop in and and and and and interrupt me.
00:10:45
Speaker
They haven't quite figured out like Tuesdays is a different dynamic, you know, trying to be a little bit. they They don't care. It was like, hey, that's sitting at his desk. He's probably not doing anything important. Let's go bother him.
00:10:57
Speaker
Yeah, I'm surprised my cat hasn't photobombed us yet.
00:11:02
Speaker
He might get pissed that you shut his curtain. yeah yeah You know what? He'll stand there and meow and give me the business until I open it up for him. It's like having the children with a tail.
00:11:16
Speaker
Yeah, right. Well, you know that they they that that old saying that's ah that that's been going around for years, you know, cats are assholes. So... yeah you know I heard a great analogy that a dog, when you get a dog as a puppy and all that stuff, they they see you do everything for them and feed them and potty them and walk them and you drive a car and you have all this technology and they think, these people must be God.
00:11:43
Speaker
And a cat in the exact situation thinks, i must be God. 100% true. true And accurate about cats. Cats, we are we are there to serve them.
00:11:57
Speaker
and Right? i'm sure if I'm sure of it. Yeah. at least that's At least in their in their own in their head, that's how they that's how they feel or think about it. Yeah, he gets real mouthy, man. He gets real mouthy. Whatever he wants, he makes sure he gets. though let's ah Terrible, terrible, terrible.
00:12:16
Speaker
Nice. They be like that sometimes. So, been listening to some of your music and and i like you you want them one of the things i like is you got like ah old school and some of the songs you like an old school country sound you know like hank senior you know some of those like older country guys but then right you also do this mix of this spooky creepy like the song that we started the show with
00:12:50
Speaker
You do this mix of, like like I said, creepy creepy, spooky stuff that I really dig. For you personally, where would you classify your style or genre of music?
00:13:03
Speaker
ah I would have to say I am multi-genre and Americana. I um I started out you know singing rock and roll, you know the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Moody Blues, you name that, and did all those garage band things. And then um i was ah I was a Navy corpsman for a while, and I also sang in the Navy band.
00:13:23
Speaker
So me and the Navy band guys put together our own band and in Long Beach, California. People still remember. It's called Ace of Spades. And we did all Motown. All the Motown stuff from back in the night, man, I got an affinity. I went from rock and roll to Motown, love every minute of it.
00:13:41
Speaker
And then then after the military, I did it with several bands that were what I would call a more rockabilly, gut shot, we called it. And we were a bunch of long-haired leaping gnomes wearing ah no shoes, a hat, and and some suspenders, just about it.
00:13:59
Speaker
And so I've sung all the different genres to my heart's desire.
Inspiration from Horror and Sci-Fi Films
00:14:04
Speaker
and yeah But as a movie buff, my wife and I are both a big horror film and sci-fi film nuts.
00:14:11
Speaker
And so I have a vast collection, over 5,000 movies of that sort of thing. And so and and we love to write themed music for for over 10 years. I did a haunted house ah on my block for all the kids in the neighborhood. Man, it was a zoo. There's hundreds of people out there going through my my ah my haunted house and stuff. And so, ah you know, I'm kind of all over the place. If I like it, I'm doing it.
00:14:40
Speaker
yeah yeah And I love country and Western, man, is like comfort food. You know, it's like biscuits and gravy. ah and And so, you know, where I got that, of course, I listened to all of them fellas. In fact, the first album, my cut was with a bunch of famous superstars, ah you know, like ah Ray Pillow and, ah you know, Charlie Lubin and all those famous ah singers from back in the 60s.
00:15:05
Speaker
And so my my first album was with them. You know, I got invited to sing with those called Nashville Stars of Country Music on Kid Cody Records back in the day. And then, you know, since then, you know, then I did every every ah person who plays in a band does cover tunes.
00:15:22
Speaker
So I've been singing cover tunes. Yeah. So I've been singing cover tunes since 1966. And, ah you know, if I like it, I'm doing it. If it's the Eagles, I'm doing it. If it's the Moody Blues, I'm doing it. You know, if it's if it's Ray Charles, I'm doing it. If I like it.
00:15:39
Speaker
That's what it is either You're either, ah you know, it's like saying you're a country guitar player. Well, what else can you do? I am a ah professional vocalist and provide myself on any challenge, whether it's an opera or or um or or a scary movie.
00:15:56
Speaker
ah So it's funny how we came out all ah about ah doing Daylight to Dark, which, by the way, we just remixed the original title song for that today.
00:16:09
Speaker
And so that's on its way to Jake and stuff. Nice. Yeah. It's just all I see it. I've seen scrolling through Facebook. Yeah. You even, you brought that up.
00:16:21
Speaker
You even did Bo Haas does a Broadway and it yeah and whatnot. I'm like, yeah, I did. I have a whole, you know, half the time I wear cowboy hat and boots. I'm pretty comfortable in that. the other half of the time I wear a tuxedo and do Frank Sinatra.
00:16:36
Speaker
ah You know, the more things you can do, the more things you get paid to do. if you only If you only can do one thing, you know, ah you're not a general contractor. and you know You can either do plumbing or electricity or you can do framing.
00:16:50
Speaker
I have prided my vocals on being able to do it all. yeah And so I do. And so I do. jack Jack of all trades, master of none type deal.
00:17:01
Speaker
Right, right, right. ah go yes oh Batman, he had his utility belt, man. they had That utility belt, he was able to do all kinds of stuff with it. So, yeah, why not? utility belt is my vocals because I'm a tender baritone and bass. I'm a contralto. um'm you know I have been blessed with that gift, and and by God, I'm going use it.
00:17:27
Speaker
Oh, yeah. Yeah.
00:17:31
Speaker
What up, Chaka? Well,
Challenges in Music Recording
00:17:32
Speaker
I mean, that's the thing. Like, you know, if it's something that you if it's something that you like, like you said, if it's something you like and it's something you can do, why not?
00:17:42
Speaker
I mean, what's the worst thing that could happen? you know Right. So do you have any um artists that growing up that that kind of influenced you or swayed you into going to music? So they're like,
00:17:57
Speaker
You know, man, I really like the way this person sings. I want to do, I could do that. I want to do that one day. yeah You know, it's funny because um in the 50s, Buddy Holly and the Crickets came along.
00:18:10
Speaker
And then, of course, Elvis Presley came along. And then I became a huge fan of Paul McCartney and John Lennon's vocals in the Beatles. And they were huge influences on me. And, well, my daddy liked to listen to country and Western, so I got to hear some of the, like you said, Hank Sr., you know, and all the fellas. And, ah you know, I like it all. You know, I can't i can't help...
00:18:32
Speaker
hearing in music that I like and saying, yeah, I like that one. Some music like I listen to and I think it that ain't for me, you know yeah and you know? you it's funny because I don't do hip hop, but yet today i had to do a hip hop entry song for another radio station. And,
00:18:48
Speaker
We wrote it and we did it. And, you know, Cadence is ah is a son of a gun, man. You know, I had went from singing a Russian translation song this morning by a famous guy named Vladimir Vyskatsy.
00:19:01
Speaker
So I'm listening to in Russian and I'm having to sing it in English. And then I went to a hip hop song and then we jumped back in. I had to do Daylight to Dark re-entrised. And man, my Cadence was really messing with me.
00:19:13
Speaker
But, you know, if take your time... you know If you take your time, it's like in any instrument, you can play it fast, medium, or slow and ah drop it down a bit you know to to make it easier for you. Whatever you got to do.
00:19:29
Speaker
ah you know but the The studio takes no prisoners. you You can't lie hide from the studio, man. It makes every glaring little thing out in front. It's like, oh, we got to redo.
00:19:42
Speaker
We got to redo that part. Yeah. Got to redo it. Does does that ever... does it I would imagine that being in the studio has got to take its toll on you, especially if you're just if you're trying to get that right sound and you've either...
00:20:00
Speaker
played like a guitar riff or done like one section of the song, the vocals, like multiple times trying to find that, that one sound just to go back and go, you know what? The first take was the best.
00:20:13
Speaker
Yeah, you know, and it's like anything else that we tell people in the studio. First of all, the studio has never been a burden for us. In fact, it's been a a savior because we actually get to produce our style, our music, and what we want to do and not rely on other people. Oh, that cat's bugging me.
00:20:31
Speaker
And so, you know, it was hard for me as a country and Western singer to go into a place and the guy's wearing, you know, a three colored beanie and he's only done hip hop and reggae.
00:20:42
Speaker
yeah yeah I didn't think he could. I don't think he could record an engineer country because he has no backbone in it. And so I'm the same way. I don't have a a hip hop or a rap background.
00:20:56
Speaker
ah You know, that era passed me by. I went right past that. And so consequently, um you know, I tell people, gee, I do everything but that, you know.
00:21:08
Speaker
but Excuse me. So yeah having said that, the studio is actually a blessing. What you got to do is, you know, you don't want to ah have a guy come and he's paying you 50 bucks an hour to to record. Look, there's a tail ah to record.
00:21:25
Speaker
And they don't they don't come in ah ready to go. And, you know, as a recording ah studio, you don't care. You got them on the clock for this much money for this much time. But that ain't right.
00:21:37
Speaker
So I tell people all the time, look, you know, come prepared. When I go to do a song, I practice it about 100 times over and over and over and over and over and over until, you know, I'm sick of it, singing it in my sleep.
00:21:49
Speaker
And then when I come in, I'm more prepared. already know what key I need to be in, whether it's up or down, you know, um ah what what my tempo has got to be, because otherwise it don't sync up well enough with the music. And, you know, you end up doing more work if you're not prepared to do work right the first time.
00:22:07
Speaker
And by God, I hate to do something twice, man. i really do. So there's a lot of songs that from my past where, you know, I'm kind of a one-take wonder. yeah and and it's And it's because I did 100 takes before I got on the recording end of it.
00:22:23
Speaker
So that that really is the key, is to be prepared and ah do the work, you know. as Sometimes people think work is a four-letter word, but really, man, it solves so many problems.
00:22:37
Speaker
yeah Look at this. flu is not This is brute. and He's going want to be up in his dang window. Yeah.
00:22:48
Speaker
He drives me nuts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, and he loves people. Glick, he loves people like nobody's business and kills everything else.
00:23:01
Speaker
We live 4,000 foot up in the mountains. We're completely off the grid. And you know my gate from my driveway is a half a mile long. And then it's you know two miles to the mailbox and stuff like that. and So ah you know we're completely off the grid. And so we're surrounded by wild animals.
00:23:20
Speaker
I mean, cougars, bears, moose, wolves, ah you you name it, I got problems with it. And so sometimes you know you decide to go walk and you gotta carry a piece with you.
00:23:31
Speaker
and But he kills everything. I mean, as big as head he'll bring a rabbit home as big as him, a grouse. ah He's an astonishing... I call him a bird murderer.
00:23:44
Speaker
um yeah He looks like he's up there, up to no good. Yeah, he is. he He's a Bengal and tabby mix. He's 19 pounds. so Oh, wow.
00:23:58
Speaker
Yeah. no he's missing He's Mr. Beefcake. Sometimes living in the city, you can't go outside without carrying a piece. so you know if you guys
Living Off the Grid
00:24:08
Speaker
Right?
00:24:08
Speaker
I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, depending on where you live. There's a reason I'm up here in the mountains. Yeah, that's that's my dream is to just be off. I always joke if i ever if I ever hit the lottery, people are like,
00:24:24
Speaker
I'm doing this, I'm going to go buy a plane and da-da-da-da-da. I'm like, I'm going to go buy like 500 to 1,000 acres somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Yeah, that's what we And just be happy. yeah You know, just not be bothered with anybody.
00:24:41
Speaker
Right. That's what we did too. You know, we, we went up and bought a bajillion acres in the middle of nowhere, right in between the corner of Idaho, ah Canada and Washington state. We're 35 miles from the border and there's nothing between, there's nothing between me and Canada except trees and animals.
00:24:58
Speaker
And, and, you know, and I still feel like this is the safest place I've ever been in my life.
00:25:05
Speaker
Right. Yeah, sure. It's your own little slice of heaven, man. You get up there and... Yeah, it really is. and if somebody does mess with you, well, it's be awful hard to find the body. Yeah, right. That's what the sheriff said, too.
00:25:20
Speaker
ah he told me people do He told me people disappear up here on the mountains all the time. And so I put up a sign that says, you know, if you want to break into my property, stand right here, get right with Jesus and tell him you're on your way. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:25:34
Speaker
oh That's 100% accurate too, man. Because we're a long way from civilization. Yeah, I saw a movie called, you always see these scary movies called like Last House on the Left in the middle of nowhere. That's me.
00:25:51
Speaker
And so, you know, if you're not prepared, just like music, right? You end up paying the price. Yeah, exactly. And one of those things, nine times out of ten, nobody's going to know you were here. So they're not going to come looking for you.
00:26:07
Speaker
Because you weren't supposed to be here in the first place. 35 minutes away. Yeah. and The sheriff's 35 minutes away, and my 9 millimeters 600 feet per second.
00:26:18
Speaker
Yeah, right? you Do the math.
00:26:23
Speaker
No, yeah, what you're talking about with coming to the studio, you know, even though they paid for their time and they've and they've they've paid to be there stuff, like you said, that's still got to be so nerve-wracking if somebody shows up and they're just completely unprepared and don't know what they're doing and don't really know where they're going. I get that sometimes when we do when we do some shows on this network. It's like, I'm sitting here, I've told you guys for two weeks, we've talked about it for two weeks, and then we go live and it's just like, boom.
00:26:54
Speaker
It's like, what what's going on? here Right. This is supposed to be a conversation. That means two people. Yeah. like Trust me. If you don't want to talk, I can look at this wall and have a much better conversation. Yeah, right.
00:27:11
Speaker
And that's not been a problem of mine. I've been a front man for like forever. Nice. So, you know, that's the job. That's your job. So. I was going to say, looking at your social media stuff, it looks like you're a showman. like you You like to be you know front and center. you'd like to You like to have that that attention and stuff like that.
00:27:28
Speaker
Like i said, I've seen some of your guys post from Halloween. I love Halloween. It's my favorite time of year. So you know seeing some of that stuff, I got excited to talk to you. And then listening to some of your music, I got excited to talk to you because I love Halloween. I love everything to do with Halloween, the music, the movies, the the costumes, the scaring people, everything.
00:27:48
Speaker
Man, I'm going to send you a CD called Music from the Haunted Hoss. Okay. later on, later on you PM your private address to me, and I'll ship you one out right away.
00:28:00
Speaker
What happened was we um um we got invited to do to you know offer up a couple of songs for ah Daylight to Dark. And we did, you know, like eight of them. And then we included a couple of our friends who had done some. we We've done Halloween videos for five or six years consecutive now, too. They're on YouTube and all that, lot of fun.
00:28:25
Speaker
and And so we directed that. But we did a couple of those. And and ah um I turned them loose on Roland. Roland said, hey, man, he said, you know what you guys need to do? You guys need to do a Halloween album.
00:28:37
Speaker
And so I thought, hu okay, maybe. And I looked it up and could you believe there's all these Halloween compilation albums, everything from ah you know the witch doctor to you know the insane asylum and what whatever these things are.
00:28:51
Speaker
But there's never been one group or one band that has done an entire album of all original Halloween themed music. It's never been done before, ever. And so ah right about that period of time, ah this this is crazy. People don't believe me. I don't care if they believe me or not.
00:29:09
Speaker
We had an Aurora Borealis event up here in the mountains, and it was beating down colors and sound lighting up the trees and the ground around us. And it went on for hours. I looked straight up, Glick, and there was like a spinning color of circle like oil on water.
00:29:27
Speaker
yeah It was it was ah so stunning. ah still Bugs probably threw in my mouth because my mouth was wide open. and And it was making a noise like a tea kettle way off in the distance.
00:29:39
Speaker
I don't know if I'd ever heard that before with these auroras. And we went on a songwriting binge. In about six weeks, we wrote 150 original songs. and across all different vast genres, uh, you know, from country to, but all of a sudden we were flooded because I love theme music, you know, whether it's St. Patrick's day or, or, or Christmas all these things, you know, and we, and, and both my, my, my superstar wife, the amazing Cindy Lou, uh, and that's a, that's a wonderful story. I'll make it short and sweet in a little bit. If you've got time. Yeah. And, uh,
00:30:15
Speaker
that it She loves horror. She actually likes more gory films than I do.
Unique Halloween Music Project
00:30:22
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not always down not always down for the gore. But there are some movies that have just the right amount of gore them, and it's perfect. yeah Right. Some of some them scare the snot out of me, and so I'm like, yeah, I can't watch that no more. I go to bed bad.
00:30:37
Speaker
you know but But other ones, ah you know I like the you know the the real creepy ones. from back in the day. And so we got on this studio and we thought, okay, let me see. What are we going to do right there? And we got it on a piece of paper. I wrote ghost, Dracula, werewolf, mummy, you know, creature from the black lagoon. that you know just wrote And then from each one of those, a song just materialized for us. Just, I mean, the lyrics came and the music came and the, and the, the creep factor came and, um,
00:31:08
Speaker
ah So we wrote 20 all original songs, um and many of them ended up on on the movie ah Daylight to Dark.
00:31:19
Speaker
And when he's actually remastering it and using a lot of those ah songs to to fill in dead spots on the movie, you know, ah You got to have that.
00:31:30
Speaker
ah music Music will dictate, soundtracks really will dictate how a movie will flow. and Oh, because yeah we're big fans yeah. Because we're big fans of the genre, we thought, man, this is plug and play for us.
00:31:44
Speaker
um And so there's some great songs on there. One of my favorite ones is You'll Be the Death of Me. Another one is just is weirder than hell.
00:31:55
Speaker
It came out um about the creature from the Black Lagoon. And wait till you get your paws on that. You'll freak out because i do all the voice all that stuff. And it's a kick in the pants. So we did that.
00:32:09
Speaker
And then of course, um ah Jake Young said, i I might have another project coming up called soul's chapel. Turns out to be a real place. yeah well it's Yeah. It's one of the most haunted places in America, apparently. And people go there and they come out and you know,
00:32:29
Speaker
Yeah, him and i him and I talked about it because it's there in Kentucky where he's at. And I said, we got a place like that here in Ohio. It's called Helltown. ah ri And then we started sharing the stories about each each city. Helltown's now at an abandoned town, but it's still there. You can still go what's left of it.
00:32:49
Speaker
But we were talking and sharing stories about it because he started telling me about the movie. And I'm like, I'm already fully, I'm like, I'm already 100% invested in this movie because it sounds great. Now that I've been listening to your music and I love the song that we played at the beginning.
00:33:02
Speaker
ah that you did for Souls Chapel. I'm like, man, I'm i'm all in for this. like and Let's go. up Yeah, you know, it's really funny because I wrote that song and I actually sang it myself and I started thinking, man, I think this will fit Rollin better than me.
00:33:20
Speaker
And so ah we sent it to him and and he immediately fell in love with it. And he almost sang it like myself, but with his key, his inflection.
00:33:31
Speaker
And, uh, that thing will creep you out. You listen to it enough, man. You'll never leave soul chapels clean. You know, it's got, it's got a, it's got a, like little bit of a hint, a little bit of an, that eerie kind of ominous feeling like, um,
00:33:48
Speaker
ah You'll Never Get Out of Harlan Alive, the old bluegrass song about Harlan, Kentucky. right Right. and so That's what it kind of reminded me of, but more on the horror. That song written...
00:33:59
Speaker
like that song was written Because, I mean, it's a cold hard truth about Harlan County. You're you nine times out of ten, you're not leaving Harlan County a lot. Where this is more of the supernatural, creepy, like, ooh, I got goosebumps just talking about it. Yeah.
00:34:16
Speaker
And, you know, well after we after we wrote it and we recorded it, it' I started thinking, wait a minute, it's something's missing. Something's missing. And for me, ah scary stuff has to have a cello in it.
00:34:29
Speaker
So, you know, our keyboard, you see behind me, you know, she's a big old Yamaha, blah, blah, blah. it It does everything. It does phony voices. It does saxophone. It does all this killer stuff that we use in the studio to cheat with.
00:34:42
Speaker
And or I should say com composed music. And so I started messing with the, you know, bringing in the slow um ominous cello part.
00:34:54
Speaker
And that did it. That, that sent that thing to the moon, you know? And then I thought, okay, now I'm sending this, I'm sending this to the fellas. And ah of course it's, it's a big deal, man.
00:35:10
Speaker
No. Yeah. I mean, it no, like I said, you know, like you said, you think back at some of our, some of our favorite movies, even like the horror movies, the music is huge.
00:35:21
Speaker
I mean, John Carpenter wrote a lot. Yeah. Where would Halloween be without that damn, that, that, that piano, that, that Halloween theme, you know, where would, Nightmare on Elm Street be without that silly kids rhyme that that is played throughout. And and then, of course, it's got the creepy music that's played along behind it. But then at any action movie that you watch, a lot of times, you know it's like if you're into like the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you take Zeppelin out of a Thor movie, Thor's kind of boring.
00:35:52
Speaker
Right. it can really It's not only a mood setter, but it can be a time machine in your own mind you know It'll make you go back to certain things. Like you said, John Carpenter, dan and dana and or the tubular bells from the original Exorcist. yeah you know that That stays in your craw, man.
00:36:10
Speaker
i still get creeped out every time I hear that. Yeah, yeah. That whole album creeped me out when I had it you Yeah. and And so, you know, we rely on our our experience and our our passion for for for the genre, you know?
00:36:29
Speaker
um And so it really leads us right right into what we naturally love to do. Yeah. I love it. ah You know, like I said, and and you mentioned Cindy Lou, who is Equally just as talented, your wife.
00:36:46
Speaker
I've heard her on a few. I got to hear a couple of few songs with her and I was like, all right. and She adds a little something extra there for you. I like it. I dig it. You know, I took that wallflower and ah and um she was like, when we first got together over a decade ago, she was like, oh, you're going to leave me behind. I thought, well, I ain't got that program, you know. How about you sing some backup in my band?
00:37:08
Speaker
And she she hadn't played guitar for a long time. She hadn't played the keyboards for some time. But the girl has an astonishing sense of harmony and can harmonize with anybody. She's the queen of harmony. She really is and done a lot of it.
00:37:21
Speaker
a lot of harmony with a lot of other artists. we We've done over 50 artists in five countries now. And if it's not Cindy Lou backing him up, it's me backing him up, you know? And then, ah so she started um coming into her own. I started sticking around in front of the band and let me go back and play the bass or the congas or whatever while she sang.
00:37:41
Speaker
And you know, she hates to do interviews, but she comes alive on stage. She really does. yeah And the the next thing I know, it's like, okay, well, it's time for you to start doing your own albums.
00:37:52
Speaker
And so she's done four or five full albums of her own, a couple of originals. ah Her last one that we just finished is called, What Kind of Love Are You Writing About? And that came from the Aurora Borealis.
00:38:04
Speaker
All of those songs did. And, and so she's but really the queen of harmony. She has several genres of her own. She's like Joan Jett and Carole King rolled into one.
00:38:16
Speaker
Oh, wow. oh That's a hell of a, yeah. And yeah she loves blues too. So she can sing the blues, man. It's amazing. Yeah. Man, you're talking my, now you're talking my language. I love, I love the blues. I love the, the old r and B Motown, you know, like, right like,
00:38:35
Speaker
That is, you know, I find myself put into a um kind of a pigeonholed into like country and rock, you know, because, as but but you know, what a lot of people don't know is, you know, I tease and say I'm a music whore.
00:38:51
Speaker
I'm a big old slut for music. I listen to everything. I love all the genres and eras. A couple of people look at me funny when I say that I love the fifties and sixties. I was like, You haven't lived until you sat back and had a few beers and listened to the 50s or the 60s. Like, just... And I'm not talking like the... You know, how can you take... Yeah.
00:39:16
Speaker
Yeah, like, not that peace, love, hippie, acid rock stuff. You know, just that cool Motown. It's all good. Yeah. Oh, no, love that stuff. Don't get me wrong. There was a band...
00:39:28
Speaker
There was a band in the early 70s that kind of broke a lot of norms, really, I think, before the Eagles blew up ah called Bread. and you know, they did some astonishing, more folksy type stuff. You know, Baby, I'm a Want You and all that.
00:39:41
Speaker
I love all of that stuff, Ballot and and Beyond, you know. um And so it's funny how we have just decided, well, we'll just do what comes natural. And so ah she had she was a professional photographer and And i had done a lot of radio and television voiceover. i was a big time ah cable um company director in Southern California for a number of years.
00:40:05
Speaker
And so we started putting our our different talents together. And the next thing you know, man, she started to excel as an engineer. And I said, well, have you heard of... ah you know, Dr. Herbie Hancock.
00:40:16
Speaker
Have you heard of the fellow that did wall of sound for Motown? Have you heard, you know, Dr. George Martin did the Beatles and she dove in there like a pit bull and studied these guys for thousands of hours.
00:40:28
Speaker
And then I said, you know, i think there's one thing missing. I said, um, Have you ever listened to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon? She said, no. So I sat her down and I made her listen to it from beginning to end.
00:40:41
Speaker
And by God, she immediately picked up on some of the nuances that it takes to to develop albums to ah like a really full sound. And ah now she's, you know, she's been up.
00:40:54
Speaker
She just won Nashville Broadcast Radio's Engineer of the Year for 2025. I'm so proud of her. and and And she's up for the same thing with the International Singer and Songwriters Association in August this year and all that.
00:41:09
Speaker
But for for us, the real awards and the real rewards have come from producing great music for a lot of people around the world and really embracing the camaraderie of musicians, and trying to create a team effort um rather than everybody going off in different directions like camp around water, man.
00:41:29
Speaker
And because you never know how you can but put two people together. Now they're Rodgers and Hammerstein. You know, they're Bernie Taupin and Elton John. You know, you just don't know until you mix chemicals, you know, chemical A and chemical B, you get chemical C and hopefully it don't blow up, set your hair on fire running down the street like Michael Jackson.
00:41:51
Speaker
But you know, what with music even with music, if you can set people's hair on fire, you're winning. if Yeah, you're winning. Yeah, if they're crying or they're singing along with you you're tapping, they get off their feet and they can't help themselves.
00:42:06
Speaker
When you get fannies out of the seats and people singing along with a hook, You know, you win. We wrote a song called This Place Ain't All That.
00:42:19
Speaker
And it was about an experience on the road. Another place, you know, it's funny how songs will morph because I wrote a song, Now You Done Done It. It was about me going to smack some jack in the mouth. you know and it turned out to be yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm i'm six three two hundred and 250 i can handle myself and so yeah yeah and you know and so the dang thing she goes no you can't do that that's too mean that that's a mean song so it's which the whole thing morphed into uh me telling the girl you know she does all these screwed up she messed up she did all these heinous things to me now you've done done it you're out of here and so yeah you know
00:42:54
Speaker
when you're When you're married to a wonderful musician, you know, it you get and you get the best of both worlds because you get ebb and flow. You get yin and yang, so to speak.
00:43:06
Speaker
And she'll keep me from making mistakes. ah Yeah, but so sometimes sometimes theret another sometimes there other wrong with a good ass-whooping song. I'm just saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. and And I have some of those in there in this new album.
00:43:20
Speaker
Every once in while, somebody just crosses that. Yeah, yeah know sometimes somebody just crosses that line and and they need smacked in the mouth. ah you know right and that' That album is called Just Do It For Love. But you know it's funny that we were talking about the blues. We also did a compilation blues album with four artists, my cousin Harvey.
00:43:40
Speaker
Harmonica John, super famous, you know, harmonica, blues, Americana player, and Cindy Lou and one of our protégés, Tammy Finley Day. And we did one called Hoss of Blues.
00:43:52
Speaker
And we did 16 songs for each and mixed it together. So it was every other one was a guy, girl, guy, girl, guy, girl, you know. and therere ah Some are originals some originals and most are covers.
00:44:04
Speaker
But if you like blues, man, I'm going to send it to you. I'm going to send it to you. yeah I swear God. I love sending music to people. Yeah, we don't want no money. We just want to see them ears light up.
00:44:19
Speaker
Yeah, man, I love getting new music. I mean, that's the whole purpose of this show, because I only interview indie artists, up-and-coming artists, local artists, whatever the case may be. I don't try to reach for big names. Now, some people have blown up, not because of my show.
00:44:37
Speaker
They were already on that track before I interviewed them, but they've gotten bigger, they're getting bigger, you know but and and they're yeah friends with this show, so it's like one of those things where I know I'll get to have them back again, which will be great.
Purpose of the Show: Discovering New Artists
00:44:50
Speaker
But that's that's the whole reason of this show is to introduce people to music that more than likely they haven't heard before. And it's funny because, you know, I'll talk to people and they'll go, you know, you had so-and-so on.
00:45:03
Speaker
That's really not not not my type of music. But I can't stop listening to it because they're so their their music is so good. And I'm like, that's that's that's the point. That's the point of this show. And that's what I love because I find new music every day, you know, that I hadn't heard of before.
00:45:18
Speaker
the The beautiful thing about it is this, is that, you know, if if you haven't heard them, you don't know. But also, you know, ah you're always going to find people who love a song and then some people do just not their cup of tea.
00:45:32
Speaker
ah you know Merle Haggard told me something once once upon a time that, you know, ah he hated this song. Everybody else loved it. And then Frank Sinatra said the same thing, that there was a certain song that that he sang. He said, boy, I didn't like singing that song.
00:45:47
Speaker
It was a huge hit for him. Yeah. no You just don't know what what ears it's going to fall on. Yeah. Right. And so, you know, the old adage is throw stuff up against wall, see what sticks, you know.
00:46:00
Speaker
And and ah everybody everybody has a different kind of favorite sound and that's comfort music to them that you don't understand, you know. Mm-hmm. ah yeah Once again, Merle said one time that he came off the stage, and this was way back in the day when he was first starting, and this guy ran up to him all wide-eyed and stuff. He thought he was going to have to smack him, and he stuck his hand out he said, oh, thank you.
00:46:23
Speaker
Thank you for singing about my life. And Merle was like, your life and it and it hit him as an epiphany that a lot of us are going through the same types of things yeah in the world at the same time and we all experience a lot of similar circumstances and so he realized that his music was touching some people just like it touched him yeah and and that was really that was really important to me to hear it really was Yeah, I joke around and and I kid around. Well, I kind of joke around about it, but I always say Jason Aldean is my spirit animal because I swear yeah i throw a Jason Aldean album on and every song I've lived it or I'm going through it at that present time. i'm i'm a I'm a type person where if I need to clear my head, like yesterday was a nice head clearing thing.
00:47:14
Speaker
I either go for drives or I find someplace on the water and I just hang out and I listen to music. And, right you know, Jason Aldean's always been my go-to. Now, I got to shout out Morgan Wallen with his brand new album because, holy shit, I listened to that yesterday and it was like, one after another was like, bro, you're speaking about my current life right now.
00:47:36
Speaker
Right? So, right. but this it is It is crazy how music, you know, I don't think a lot of artists realize initially when they write a song or when they do an album that there's going to be either that one song or maybe a couple songs that are just going to hit that audience or hit somebody that's going to listen to it a certain type of way.
00:47:59
Speaker
And, and they're, you know, they might be going through some really bad shit in their life. And that one song just kind of triggers something inside their brain. And it's like, you know what, I'm not the only one going through this. There's other people going through it. And,
00:48:12
Speaker
it's a choice that I can make, whether I stay on this path of where, whatever is happening, or if I decide to alternate, you know, my direction. So I think it's so true. Yeah. It transcends time and, and all kinds of different,
00:48:29
Speaker
ah what I would call situational life, situational things happen to all of us to one extreme or another, like a pendulum. and and And if you can write what you feel, you're going to find that other people ah more often than not feel the same way.
00:48:46
Speaker
Yeah. Right. Exactly. And it it it might even not even really have to be anything related with just something like, like you said, i'm i'm really curious and and excited to hear this halloween album because i love halloween and like you said you don't get a lot of original so i'm curious to see where you guys go as far as original halloween content and music goes uh what's going on arliss walker how you doing brother arliss walker of the southern outlaws hanging out saying hello there you go um
00:49:18
Speaker
So you know I'm excited to hear this this album because I've heard everything else before. Now I need something new. Now and and I'm ready to hear something new. Yeah, you know, it's nice to be a pioneer in something. and And lo and behold, you know, 20 original songs, all Halloween original themed and and nobody else has ever done it in history. You think, well, how could that possibly be? You know? Yeah.
00:49:42
Speaker
Well, you know, you got to you got to do the work. You know, once you stay in a theme, you got to stay in a vein, so to speak, and and just follow through with what you feel naturally. Yeah. So there's there's some ah really funny songs out there that Cindy Lou wrote one called Don't don't Ghost Me, Ghost.
00:49:59
Speaker
And no matter what the ghost is doing, she's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. and Enough of your badass stuff. go on Go on, do a ghost thing, you know. And she's completely haunting this ghost. And another one I have where the guy has and he's coming back and he goes, I'm still haunting you. You can't get rid of me, you know.
00:50:16
Speaker
ah Just fun stuff. And then some vampire songs. but because we wanted to make some of those fit for the the movie and all that. And we we had a ball doing it. We really did.
00:50:28
Speaker
And it's it's transcended now into a complete score for Soul's Chapel, obviously. And, but you know, the the director's really excited about Jake Young, told me it's freaking awesome.
00:50:40
Speaker
And so if he feels that way, ah we think his audience will feel that way. So yeah he he asked us if we'd like to come to a premiere sometime and we're like, yeah, we're on that plane. You know?
00:50:52
Speaker
Hell yeah. We just tell us when it where. Right, right. We'll show up. no Yeah, I get that. now jake Jake's such a good dude. we we We had a really good time when we did the movie watch.
00:51:05
Speaker
And then him and I had a really good time hanging out because he he came up on this show. and Which is the great thing about this show. Yeah, it's a music show, but I get opportunities, you know, to interview directors or actors or comedians or whatever, I'm not going to, I'm not going to shut it down. I'm not going to interview you. This is a music show, you big dummy. Why would you come?
00:51:27
Speaker
But ah Jake, Jake's such a good dude and he's a young guy and he's, and he's super talented. And you know, I like to try to do my research on people. So I started watching his movies, you know, and I was, was able to, you know, talk about the movies and he was just very eager and excited to get my, you know, my, my input on, on things and stuff like that. So, you know, being, being connected with, with, with Jake and with Rollin, like I said, they, Rollin's been telling me for a minute that I need to to get you on. I'm like,
00:52:00
Speaker
I got to wait for a break in my schedule. you I got to see what's going on with my schedule. And then then then Jake was getting on me. i was like, all right, all right, I'm going to get Bo on. I got to reach out to him.
00:52:13
Speaker
You know, Jake is a perfect example of when you put talent, talent ambition, and insight all come together. yeah And he he has he has the direction. He has a plan. And there's – And nothing stronger than a man with a plan, you know.
00:52:29
Speaker
ah It's, you know, putting one foot in front of the other and know where you want to end up is really important. And a lot of people don't have that visionary um
00:52:41
Speaker
feel to them. and that and we We were talking about, man, what if Jake turns out to be Alfred Hitchcock, for Christ's sake? know Or Ridley Scott, you know. Yeah, exactly.
00:52:52
Speaker
It's coming. It's coming. you know, because he's putting in the body of work first and all of those things are additive sculpture, man. You get better. You don't get worse from doing more, you know?
00:53:04
Speaker
And and he and kind who we're really excited about working with those fellows. Yeah. And he kind of has that genre where he wants to go with the psychological horror thriller, you know, type, type deal, which is,
00:53:19
Speaker
you know, or, you know, like Daylight to Dark. It's a fun vampire movie. It's not super serious. It's not scary. You know, it's it's it's just a fun vampire movie. And we joked around, Jake and I, when we did the watch party, we were kind of semi-joking around about, you know, you got to do a sequel.
00:53:38
Speaker
And he's like, yeah, Roland and kind of been tossing that around. And I was like, and then, of course, my guys that were with me, my Blaze and Mike, they're like, you know, if you need people to star in the movie, well, then I can Took it another step forward. I took it another step, and I was like, i need to be the villain in the next movie because y'all y'all did my girl wrong in Daylight to Dark.
00:53:58
Speaker
um you know i said I said, you did her real dirty, and I got to come back and give vengeance for her and take you on. And he was like, I already had the cowboy look, but you would make a mean biker-looking guy because you're big and you got your beard and everything. I said, whatever, but I'm taking you out, Jake. Yeah.
00:54:15
Speaker
but Or attempting to. Or attempting to, yeah. one of the yeah yeah but But no, he's a fun guy. And he does. He knows what he wants to do. And and and you know for you to get connected with him like that, being able to throw your songs, you know who says that next great horror franchise doesn't come out, and all of a sudden that next great horror franchise theme doesn't come from Bo Haas.
00:54:42
Speaker
I'm just saying, you know. Yeah. Yeah. yes You know, Cindy Lou and I have been a ah really a wonderful team writing machine, you know, where as we go along, we're like, oh, what?
00:54:52
Speaker
Oh, that doesn't fit. Let's do this part. No. Oh, that's it. And we're able to adjust on the fly. because we have the the ability to do so in the studio, man. you know i don't I told her so many times, I don't know how the hell they did this in 1930. What did they do, practice for 200 hours straight and then do one cut on wax?
00:55:11
Speaker
Imagine those great guys. Imagine those incredible, great composers from back in the day having the technology that we have today. i've I've said it before and I'll say it again. The greatest music has not yet been written.
00:55:26
Speaker
and but But we're on ah on a mission for God. Yeah. You're doing the Lord's work, damn it. Right. And even if it's Halloween stuff, Halloween music is like a roller coaster, right?
00:55:40
Speaker
and yeah Yeah, right. It really i mean really is. I mean, you guys might write the next great Halloween love song. You never know. Yeah, you know, and quite frankly, out of the 20 that's out there,
00:55:55
Speaker
um ah we're going to probably push that album to to national, international distribution because it is so good that we sit back and go, holy shit, we did that, you know.
00:56:07
Speaker
it And it all, bam it just came pouring out, like taking your finger out of the dike, man. Water was in. and And we let it do it. You know, I have a saying called ah the music is the river and the river is love.
00:56:22
Speaker
And you got to dive into the river and just just, you know, you don't get wet standing on the bank looking at it. You got to dive in, Yeah. ah Like anything, you know, if you don't dive in with all your heart, you're doing it half-assed, you know.
00:56:38
Speaker
Yeah. ain't ain't thatta Ain't that the damn truth. ah You know, yeah. If you have a passion, like you said, if you got a passion for something, man, chase it. Don't be afraid of it. I mean, well i mean It might bite you in the ass in the long run, but and know hey we've we've all we've all we've all tripped and stumbled along the way.
00:56:56
Speaker
and know yeah Life is 50-50 at best. and It's either good or it ain't. Either song's good or it ain't. you know Either they like it or they don't. you know It's 50-50.
00:57:09
Speaker
As long as you know what your odds are going in, hell, just go for it. Come out both guns blazing and and see but yeah and see what you get. you know Oh, yeah. See, you know, whatever happens, happens.
00:57:21
Speaker
That's kind of my new my new motto for 2025. Whatever happens, happens. Good, bad, indifferent, whatever. You know, just fuck it. Just go for it.
00:57:38
Speaker
Something I was going to ask you about that. Oh! This isn't what I was going ask you. Squirrels. I got squirrels running around in my brain. so Yeah, man. but We got it up here in the background.
00:57:52
Speaker
2025 nominee for basically what looks like every damn category under the sun for the ISSA. Right. ah when does that When does this happen? When does when does this award ceremony and whatnot? That's the end of it.
00:58:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's towards the end of August, August 23rd. And our ah our partner, Wolf Milestone, superstar out of Canada, he's like Merle Haggard in Canada. He's big, you know, monster big. And ah he, ah the three of us has joined together and created Bohos Music and Bohos Records.
00:58:27
Speaker
So we, out of necessity, had to become the record company. Yeah. And um so we're going to be I've been invited to be one of the um the new Branson Independent Opry Board of Directors with Tim Kelly.
00:58:40
Speaker
out there in Branson. what he What Tim told me is that you know all of the superstars are dead. They're gone. they're There's nobody in Branson except cover shows and tribute bands, but there's no ah original amazing artists anymore. And he stumbled onto about 10, 12 years ago, the independent movement.
00:58:58
Speaker
I call it the indie wave. That's a term I call it because it reminds me of the of the early 60s when we had folk music and rock and roll music and and still ah Frank Sinatra was on the air and and all these different genres were on AM radio at the time, but it hit us like a wave of all this new thing, you know the the British invasion and all that.
00:59:20
Speaker
And and i see that coming i see that coming in the independent market now because you know before everybody was all, they're just you know they're just country. It's like, wait a minute, are you are yeah artists or not?
00:59:32
Speaker
You know, can you sing more than that? And so I started really compelling people and working with people to do multi-genre things and to, you know, expand their their horizons. And so Tim Kelly noticed that too, ah that the independent artists have actually ah supplanted. We have become far better, far more creative, for my far more diverse music than with the crap ability coming out of Nashville that the big industry is pushing.
01:00:01
Speaker
you know Personally, i like Beyonce, but I don't want her dancing in front of my kids like that. you know I want to have additional values. So when you go to Branson, Missouri, you're you're hearing real country from real artists. they're all independent. And these people are superstars, man.
01:00:19
Speaker
i can name a bunch of them off. I really could, but they're incredible people and incredible artists. And so Tim came up with the Branson ah Independent Opry, which is opening next year in March.
01:00:32
Speaker
oh And we're going to have no major labels, all of these ah tremendous independent artists. And by the way, there's a bunch of them dropping their record companies because the deal sucks so bad.
01:00:44
Speaker
i was I was listening to Jelly Roll on a rant i'm saying that most of the contracts are 90-10s and some 95-5s and it's a goat screwing from day one. And so a lot of record companies are losing their artists to the independent scene.
01:00:59
Speaker
It's far superior, far more diverse, far more energetic. the The music is so much more creative. Like the stories that you and I were talking about are are absolutely phenomenal.
01:01:10
Speaker
And so... That Branson Independent Opera is going to open next year with all these new independent artists. And it's astonishing. So Wolf and Cindy Lou and I are going to be in Branson in August.
01:01:21
Speaker
And then from there, we go on to Nashville Broadcast Radio. We do a live show there every year. on the Bonnie and Kevin show there right in in Kitty Will's old studio.
01:01:32
Speaker
and And yeah, with creek Keith Bradford was in the band with them originally. He's an the engineer there. And then, so last year we did the Nashville Hall of Fame thing and all that. Now, then this year we're going to do that show and then we'll drive into Atlanta um for the International Singer and Songwriter Association Awards.
01:01:52
Speaker
um And that's August 23rd. And so people started swooping on that. Yeah, we started swooping in on Thursday and man, we party as hard as they can get without being thrown out. i And some people have been thrown out. What can I, it ain't Jerry Lee Lewis pushing the pool, the piano in the pool, none of that, but you know, yeah but too much, too much abusive language and all that. you know some eighty Sometimes things happen.
01:02:18
Speaker
Yeah. Right, right, right, man. Some people can handle their liquor and others can't, you know? yeah we all li your man go folk what Yeah. And we all know that. We all know those guys that can't handle their liquor. Those are the ones that'll tell you the but loudest that they can handle their liquor.
01:02:38
Speaker
you know And we we run into that with some singers. you know The more they drink, the more the louder they get. They start knocking people down in the back row without a without any equipment. And it's you know what? You need to learn how to use the equipment and to learn your voice.
01:02:51
Speaker
Even if you're hammered, you know you know not everybody is meatloaf, right? Yeah, yeah rose up right. that was a Meatloaf, Ozzy, some of those, jack the Stones, some of those guys could be completely...
01:03:08
Speaker
rocked out of their minds and still put on an amazing show. But you're not there, right so stop it. Right. You know, with my band Gut Shot, we used to pass around old number seven. And by the end of the second state, I sounded like Mick Jagger.
01:03:22
Speaker
You know, you couldn't understand them words. They're still coming out. You know, you first not they start sounding like James Brown. Yay! Yay! yeah know And that can be fun, but...
01:03:34
Speaker
But in your headge yeah in your head, it sounds great. But what's coming out. So good. and So good. yeah as But only to you.
01:03:46
Speaker
I've had some nights like that doing podcasting. yeah Saturday nights are kind of our fun night where we cut loose and have fun and and we drink. And we we really just we we really get a little wild on Saturday nights. And I've had some Saturdays where it's like,
01:03:59
Speaker
hell, I wake up Sunday afternoon like, hell yeah, that was a fun show last night. And then I go back and listen to it and I start scrolling through kind of speed listening and you get about that halfway mark and it's just like, what the fuck language am I speaking right now? Yeah, well, it's your party, you know, that's the thing. It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, you know. Yeah, right.
01:04:26
Speaker
Chaka, its cheers to you, brother. Yeah, right. Exactly. You know, I gotta, I gotta say that the the Branson Opry sounds really cool because, you know, and I don't know if I'm just getting old and grumpy or what it is, but man, I remember being younger and growing up and and playing at the Grand Ole Opry was like huge. You know, that was, that was a huge thing for somebody to do.
01:04:49
Speaker
Now it just seems like they put everybody in their mama. Yeah. You know, now they just put everybody in their mama on the Grand Ole Opry. And it's just like, why why why is Why is this jerk off at Grand Ole Opry? It's lost its prestige almost, in my opinion. and yeah I'm not in the music world, so i mean this is just me speaking as a fan.
01:05:07
Speaker
but it seems like No, but that's true. and as ah you know Fans know. Fans know. And and it's ah it's completely gotten out of control. you know It's not the mecca that it used to be.
01:05:18
Speaker
These guys are playing for $30 a set plus tips. um You never get anywhere. They're stealing all your music. ah Everybody you meet in Nashville who's a clerk at Payless or at Walmart, they're a singer-songwriter. you know They can't get no work.
01:05:33
Speaker
And so this is the biggest... ah venue that has ever existed for independent artists ever. And it's the only one of its kind. nice And they're there. I tell you what, they're on a par on a level with some of the greatest that have ever played.
01:05:51
Speaker
And, um, I, you know, right off the top of my head, I can, can nail 10, 12 of these people that the holding audience down for the weekend, I'm telling you. And you know, what's really funny is, um, you know, Cindy Lopner,
01:06:04
Speaker
You're just want to have fun? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cindy Lopter, yeah, yeah. Yeah, she's switched to an independent artist. She's doing country and western only, and she's real good, and her band is great. And so we're trying to entice Cindy Lopter to be, oh, she's an astonishing artist, and she can really sing some country.
01:06:22
Speaker
and And so lo and behold, you know, we're trying to get her to open the opening weekend, bringing a big name, you know, but it's as an independent artist. Yeah. And there's, there's several others out there that are starting to be attracted to this movement going on, because I got to tell you never before in history as independent artists, have we ever had the platforms that ah internet stations like yourself have now provided.
01:06:48
Speaker
It's never existed before for people that, Right. You used to have to tour all over the damn country to you know, some small bars. I wrote a song about that because this place ain't all that.
01:06:59
Speaker
Yeah. Wait till hear that one. You know, the whole chorus is the hook, man. and nice Nice. The bartender's slow and the music is flat, man. This place ain't all that.
01:07:12
Speaker
I like it. I like that already. yeah I've been into some places like that. Yeah. honest to God, we got lured into there saying, oh, everybody's played here, Billy Bob and Willie and all these people, you got to play on Route 66.
01:07:26
Speaker
We ended up on a Thursday night it was a total dive that smelled like pee, you know, overpriced overpriced beers and and um and the music was from like 1992 and they hadn't even upgraded yet. They weren't into into the next century. And and that's that song just they just came to me, you know. Just came to, yeah. you Right.
01:07:49
Speaker
And so you to write what what you live and then probably, I'm probably telling you a hundred bands have went through the same place and thought, Jesus. yeah
01:08:02
Speaker
How the hell did we end up here?
01:08:07
Speaker
Whose idea was to book this dime? and Right? ah Yeah. No, been into places like that. I like I've gone to places where it's like, oh, man, you know got to check this band out. there're They're playing Frank and Bob's Draft House or whatever. And it's like, all right, cool. you know heard a lot of good things about this band. Let me go check them out.
01:08:33
Speaker
not realizing that the average age of this band's fan base is 75 and in a nursing home and then you go to this dive bar where yeah like you can smell it before you walk in the door and it's just like well they still have they still have the same sound system from 1975 and the lighting hasn't changed correctly Yeah. Yeah. you gotta bring ya They haven't updated to electrical yet. They are still running off. It's just like, yeah, like, come on, man.
01:09:07
Speaker
Like electrical. labor yeah yeah Maybe this band is good. i don't know, but you know, I've, I've, I've had the opportunity to interview some amazing artists out of Nashville, young, young, young talent.
01:09:21
Speaker
And,
01:09:24
Speaker
And some of them have flat out said, I stay off of Broadway. Yeah, I could go i could go perform four days i for four times a day on Broadway. But it's too commercialized anymore.
01:09:37
Speaker
um and then and then they say And they say the same thing, man. we've gotten I've talked to people who have said, I've gotten these big contracts from labels, for these big name labels.
01:09:50
Speaker
But they want to fucking... binge you're over in and no lube. And it's just like, they say it's 80, 20, 90, 10. And it's just like, So I'm going to make all this music and you're going to get rich off of me. And then what?
01:10:02
Speaker
So they stay after expenses. It's 90, 10 after expenses, which means have to pay off all the expenses, any money they front you. They want you to go to the Bahamas to do a video. You owe 10,000.
01:10:15
Speaker
You want to do this. Oh, you owe a hundred thousand. And when you pay all that back, then the 90, 10 kicks back, kicks in. Not until then. yeah And it's a good job they won these days.
01:10:26
Speaker
Yeah. You know, and they don't want, they don't want, yeah, they don't. Let me tell you something. The big boys anymore that, you know, you send them a CDs or cassettes in the back. It goes into round file. They got no, if you, if they don't like the cover, they, they listen to none of the music.
01:10:40
Speaker
It almost has to be a personal recognition because they don't do the work no more. They don't go. um you know, into the Fillmore East, like the old days of the Fillmore West or, or you know, the theater in LA, I can't remember the name. They don't go there. What they really want is for somebody to say, hey, man, I got these guys. They're prepackaged. They're ready to go. Their shit don't stink.
01:11:02
Speaker
You know, they, they, it's just plug and play, plug and play. And then they go, okay, well send me a couple of three song demo, you know, and so you got a two slow and a fast or two fast and a slow, whatever.
01:11:14
Speaker
And, and hopefully they'll think, yeah, you know, I can put dollars in my pocket behind that. And then they just turn it over a distributor they're done with it. Unless, you know, the younger you are, the more money they want to give you. Isn't that funny? Cause they know it's going to take a long time to pay it back, you know?
01:11:30
Speaker
The older you get is an older dog, man. They're like, hey, you know, one hit wonders are okay if we can make a buck on it. you Yeah. Yeah, no. i mention Yeah, my daddy used to say, if if it doesn't make sense, there's a buck in it.
01:11:46
Speaker
it' just it just this this good grandpa grandpa used always to Grandpa used to tell me all the time, bullshit walks and money talks. Yeah, man. Yeah, one of my original managers, ah Robbie Witkowski, who managed little Jimmy Dickens and Whispering Bill Anderson all that stuff. And he told me, Hoss, he said, you know what?
01:12:05
Speaker
Unless they ah send you a contract with half the money up but front, it's all bullshit. yeah he he was He was pretty strict about how business was done. yeah it was either done right or it wasn't gonna get done you know that's what he told me so chaka to answer your question would it be possible to get a little spoiler on what movie bo is working on the soundtrack for well he was on the soundtrack for daylight to dark which we did the watch party uh almost two months ago um we had jake the director roland the writer and a couple of the actors bo's done uh
01:12:41
Speaker
ah music for that movie and he's also on the new upcoming movie which I started the show out what is it soul chapel Soul's Chapel yeah the real place Soul's Chapel there in Kentucky ah got quite a sordid history in it man on a lot of it's real I mean there's a ah part where we sing about you know the yeah the called the Reverend and the the Reverend started preaching Satan from the pulpit full of demons is that song from that movie Yes, it is. And the crowd like that hung him from the rafters in church and then buried his body under the floorboards.
01:13:17
Speaker
And I sang that, man. I i sang history. And once again, it's creep central. you know It'll make you hide behind the furniture in the dark. i didn't realize that was from soul's chapel i like that song didn't like that song yeah we did the whole we did the entire soundtrack for uh for soul's chapel oh nice nice yeah no i like i said you know i'm i'm i'm big into like i don't know i don't know if this is like part of my love for halloween or what but i'm really big into the paranormal and like you know like the true stories behind
01:13:50
Speaker
I'm more intrigued by the history, but yeah, what you know I would love to go visit some of these places and maybe get to see a ghost or hear stuff or have stuff happen to me or or whatever. Good night, Sammy.
01:14:01
Speaker
Sammy said good night there in the and the comments. Oh, I know, Sammy. Hi, Sammy. Good night. ah But um like I'm really big into the paranormal, so like when when when Jake said,
01:14:16
Speaker
This is based off of a real place. I'm like, hello, I'm in. and then now hearing you say, because i I like that song, The Reverend, and I was like, this is really cool. But now to hear you say, it's based off of ah events that happened in this place like that even adds that extra layer to it yeah you remember the tv series ghost hunters when it first came out i just loved it and and uh so did my sons and stuff and there was this place in iowa where a tornado had gone through there while the children were at recess and killed a buttload of them they didn't get them in the building in time
01:14:49
Speaker
And it damaged the building and stuff. And we were doing the EVPs there because a lot of people that worked there, custodians at night and construction people said they they had some really unnerving experiences where they just left the building. They the hell with it.
01:15:03
Speaker
All the lights were on, they left, you know. And so we thought, well, let's go and do some EVPs. And there was this one cafeteria where people had some really foreboding feelings of dark, you know, and while painters were painting, the paint strip would rip off and be thrown at them. They're like, okay, we're leaving. And ah and undergo there was an upstairs area.
01:15:24
Speaker
Yeah, there was an upstairs area where the tornado would actually hit and stuff. And so we sat up there and they they did, I had all the keys to the building. We locked them boys in there. Nobody's in there, you know.
01:15:35
Speaker
And they were asking all the questions you hear on Ghost Hunters. You know, you know, why are you here? What are you doing? We're not here to talk you, blah, blah, blah. And they didn't hear a damn thing. And so the next day we ran back to EVP and they they said, um you know, why are you here?
01:15:52
Speaker
And this little tiny boy's voice, maybe five said, it's pleasant here. and Man, the hair on my head stood up. It scared the living snot out of me. and then there was ah Then we were down in the cafeteria you know asking what you're doing here.
01:16:09
Speaker
and He's like, you know why are you here? was it and This real gruff voice on the tape went, inspecting. We're like, okay, inspect away, buddy. ahead and inspect away.
01:16:20
Speaker
Right. And then about three years later than that, I, organized a limousine where everybody dressed up like vampires and vampires says, and we toured all these different bars looking for food. i mean, for fun.
01:16:32
Speaker
We went to a couple of graveyards at midnight, you know, and took pictures of us running around in their shit and, And, you know, I never thought anything about it. And then about three, four days later, I decided I was going to just look at some of these pictures. I'm scrolling through some of these pictures, you know, on my phone.
01:16:50
Speaker
And son of a bitch, if there wasn't a little girl looking over a headstone at me from behind me, I about wet myself. I'd heard it. I'd heard her I'd heard it. I'd like that. But to see it on your camera.
01:17:03
Speaker
on your phone, you know, really gooned me out. and and then And then later on somebody said, well, who's this guy? i said, what are you talking about? And it looked like a guy in the Civil War era type thing, standing, you know, a few
Exploring Haunted Experiences
01:17:16
Speaker
gravestones over. So we literally went back the next day and sure enough, ah we didn't the little girl had died on this one stone.
01:17:23
Speaker
The other one, the guy was a real son of a bitch and you know he basically got shot and killed by the sheriff. And they buried him there, too. So, you know, the you you can creep yourself out enough to like, okay, that's enough. You know, that's that's good enough for me.
01:17:39
Speaker
isn't yeah I'm good.
01:17:43
Speaker
ah chaka said Chaka said, definitely a new fan here, bro.
01:17:50

I want to go. i wouldnt I want to see it. I want to hear it. I want something to happen. now You know, like We have some locations here in my my little town that I like to try to visit when I can. Nothing's ever happened to me personally, but I've had other experiences. I used to work and the for for OSU, the Ohio State University, the the medical center.
01:18:42
Speaker
The property we at we were at was the old Harding Hospital, which was Warren G. Harding's brother. President Harding, his brother ran loony bin and he was one of the, one of the top doctors in the country at that time that was doing some experimental stuff, lobotomies and this, that, and the other thing.
01:19:04
Speaker
And that place is like... Yeah, I've had two of those, but it feels fine. I'm fine. Yeah, everything's fine. That place is like super fucking haunted. I've had contractors that would refuse to go into... Like contractors that would refuse to go into buildings.
01:19:19
Speaker
um You know, we were down in the basement where they... Turn on the table and run away, man. Yeah, because it was active. Like it was active... like it was it was ah it was an active crazy, you know, they had all their buildings. They had had a kid's ward, a teenager's ward, the adult stuff and everything like that. active up until OSU bought
Supernatural Shows and Their Influence
01:19:41
Speaker
it. And then OSU bought it and they moved everything down to campus.
01:19:45
Speaker
And it literally looked like in some of the buildings that weren't in use, it was like they were there one day and never came back. There were files. There was like down in the basement, one of the buildings was like all this old like OG medical equipment and stuff.
01:19:59
Speaker
And like it was it was just crazy. I always look forward to getting, ah when I was on call, to getting called out there in the middle of the night, and everybody was like, you're fucking weird, dude. And I'm like, if something's going on, I want to be here.
01:20:12
Speaker
I want to see it. That's a supernatural battery. Yeah, right? Like, if something's happening, damn it, I want to see it. I want to catch me a ghost.
01:20:24
Speaker
want to hang out.
01:20:27
Speaker
ah Yeah, you know, in one of those Ghostbusters episodes, they got called out to got called out to a famous restaurant in the San Francisco Bay Area. And they went in there and investigated. And instantly they started having all kinds of paranormal stuff, sounds, smells, ah visions and mirrors in the ladies' bathroom and stuff.
01:20:47
Speaker
And they busted them ah because it was all phony. They set it up on purpose. They had... 3D cameras into the mirrors. they had They were injecting smells. They were making these sounds that people would hear. think I remember that. They got really mad. the theyank the big act You remember that show?
01:21:06
Speaker
i don't know. Anyways, they got really mad that they got called out to investigate the place. and It was all basically like Disneyland. you know like Going into the the Haunted Mansion there, which I love that place. I love the Haunted Mansion. Every time I go to Disneyland or Disney World, that's Pirates of the Caribbean, Haunted Mansion, I'm done. I love it.
01:21:24
Speaker
Yeah. So yeah, they they were really upset that people set it up. I just saw, you know, at Binion's casino, I wonder, you know, if it's like that place where they, they set up the supernatural experience for you and it's, it feels real. I mean, it feels creepy until you realize hidden cameras, in hidden sense, hidden this blah, blah, blah, you know?
01:21:47
Speaker
Yeah. You know, it's, it's, unfortunately it's very easy to bak that stuff, you know, at the end of the day. But,
01:21:58
Speaker
anymore. yeah and But at the same time, it reminds me of like the old Scooby-Doo cartoons. you know what they would what They would figure it out and Velma would, Jinkies! you know this is you know He's got a projector in the wall and zip lines and then they're going to unmask the bad guy That's what it reminds me of.
01:22:18
Speaker
It's in good fun, right but don't don't don't promote your business. not to me It's only old Mr. Stevens. yeah Yeah, right. Or say it's a experience. haunted experience.
01:22:31
Speaker
Yeah. Right? Yeah. And he would have gotten away with too, had it not been for you nosy kids. You pesky kids and your dog. Right. Yeah. yeah no so so Sell it as a haunted experience where, no. we Yes, the place is quote unquote haunted, but we're going to amp it up a little bit. We're going to make sure you experience something. And belish a little bit, right? Make sure you have a good experience or creepy experience, whatever it is. yeah
01:23:05
Speaker
One thing with Scooby-Doo, a friend of mine wrote that that song, Scooby-Doo. He actually got an Emmy or were some... Yeah, man. He, he co-wrote it and all that stuff.
01:23:17
Speaker
Him and a fellow named Clifford Dick Ben. They're out of North Carolina, South Carolina, somewhere in there. And they actually penned that that song. And he'd done a lot of country and Western work before that. But you know, one thing that I could never do that Scooby and Shaggy did is eat a damn sandwich about three feet tall.
01:23:32
Speaker
I know. So I don't know if you've ever watched the show. I don't know if you've ever watched the show. Supernatural. Supernatural. Um, ah Love it.
01:23:45
Speaker
So i I was watching it when it first came out, and I made it to like season 11, season 12, and then I kind of fell off. And then I've tried to restart it several times since. Well, recently I restarted watching it. Now I'm just – I've got a lot of free times um a free time on my hands currently, so I'm just binge – I'm flying through it.
01:24:04
Speaker
And, ah ah you know, I'm like, season 15, here I come. Yeah, we loved it. We loved it. I'm a little over halfway done with season 14. I'm finally going to finish Supernatural.
01:24:16
Speaker
But the Scooby Natural episode, when Dean made the sandwich and he was like, look at me, Sam. Look at me. Look how far my mouth opens. I was like, yeah, that would be great to do. yeah Have that big monster sandwich.
01:24:31
Speaker
ah Awesome. yeah ah scuin sha ah s scoba Scooby and Shaggy were always, as a kid, and even now, I'm an adult, and and I still watch, I love the Scooby movies. I love, you know, if I catch, if I'm scrolling through, like, I'm bored and I need something to watch, and nothing's really just, you know, sometimes you do that doom scrolling on all the streaming sites we have, and I'll come across Scooby, I'm like,
01:24:56
Speaker
screw it. I'm watching Scooby-Doo because Shaggy and Scooby are my spirit animals. I love those guys. like Right.
01:25:05
Speaker
I went to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He literally reconstructed the the Shaggy van and i made it exactly from the cartoon. and Unbelievable. you know and It's a showstopper. He parks and and people want to talk about it. so It's pretty cool.
01:25:22
Speaker
i I've seen a meme that had the mystery machine, the Batmobile and maybe the Impala from supernatural.
01:25:34
Speaker
And it was, there they were parked in a parking lot. that The meme said, I don't know what's going on here, but I'm getting the fuck out of town.
01:25:47
Speaker
All they needed, all they needed was the monster mobile man. That would have done it right there. Yeah. Right. Exactly. So now, uh, That's that, that's it that's it like, just fun, you know, because, you know, not not everything scary has to be bad.
01:26:03
Speaker
You know, sometimes scary stuff is just fun. like And I think that's what Scooby showed us as kids was, like, it's not always bad. yeah You know, we can have fun with it.
01:26:14
Speaker
Right. You know, and there were some there were some people that did some really cool things like that. um Don Knotts and the Ghost and Mr. Chicken. I played that every year at Halloween. Nice. we Because it's so fun.
01:26:28
Speaker
um Laughing through the whole thing, you know. if If you haven't seen it, The Ghost of Mr. Chicken in a long time, absolutely 100% guaranteed pure fun.
01:26:39
Speaker
I mean, from the beginning to the end, ah it'll make you laugh your socks off.
01:26:46
Speaker
Don Knotts with that goofy look. My goodness. Don Knotts is one of those classics. Oh, you you haven't seen it yet? No, I'm sure I've seen it. It's probably just been a i know i've seen it's been a long time, but I'll have to add it to my my hallow my Halloween repertoire.
01:27:03
Speaker
He did it right about the time the Andy Griffith show was ah was ah ah going off the air, The Ghost and Mr. Chicken. And then later on, ah he did one about ah the incredible Mr. Limpet, where he turned into a a fish. you know But the The Ghost and Mr. Chicken is one of my favorites. So many great one-liners out of there.
01:27:23
Speaker
um you know what he thinks somebody's been murdered and the guy just wife clubbed his drunken ass over the head with a board and then he goes running to the place oh my god murder murder murder and then he's the laughing stock of the town because of it and there's a haunting there's a haunted mansion in it and uh just absolutely um five stars oh yeah um yeah That's what I like about going to like like you said, you you you and Cindy used to do the haunted house.
01:27:56
Speaker
I love going to haunted houses around Halloween time. They're fun. We got one here. ah If you're into like ghost adventures or ghost hunters or stuff like that, you may have seen they've actually been here multiple
Themed Haunted Houses and Their Appeal
01:28:08
Speaker
times. We have the old Licking County Jail here where I live at here in Ohio.
01:28:12
Speaker
and they They do tours and stuff all year round. You can walk through it, but it's got a history. And it's got a lengthy history. And it's haunted like like you wouldn't you know ah he wouldn't believe.
01:28:24
Speaker
But every year, there's a company, for the last several years now, they do they do haunted houses in there, Halloween time. But they also do Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Christmas, Easter.
01:28:36
Speaker
So they're like haunted houses. Themed events. around Themed events. And they're always fun. Like Valentine's Day is like, I went, was it last year? I think it was for Valentine's Day. And it was Love Sucks.
01:28:48
Speaker
so it was a vampire thing and when you first walk in you're met up with a vampire hunter and she lost her partner right so you got to work your way through the jail and of course you know they had the scary vampires and then the sexy vampires that would like when you're walking through they would they would hit on the guys and stuff like that it's just fun you know it's not scary it's not super scary but it's fun and of course i go in there and and i'm just like I'm ready. Like whatever's going to happen, happen, you know, but they have fun with it. And I go, I try to go to all their events, you know, but their Halloween time, it's the haunted jail. They got the warden.
01:29:26
Speaker
Who's who's dead. The ghost warden who runs around outside. And man, when he finds a target, boy, he is relentless.
01:29:38
Speaker
yeah He knows how to pick up. You know, all of the big boys have discovered, They've discovered that the the Halloween stuff is is like a roller coaster. And so Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, you know, the Disneyland and Disney World, all of the major amusement parks now in that period of time has realized that's a cash cow.
01:29:57
Speaker
um You know, when Universal Studios and Magic Mountain and all these other places realize that for about 30 days, there's some serious money to be made. I knew a fellow in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who um he quit his job. He only works.
01:30:14
Speaker
on on his haunted house there, which is only open for about 30 days. And the line is 10 feet wide by a city block long oh yeah every day for 30 days. I started watching that and I started putting the numbers together.
01:30:28
Speaker
That boy is putting up a bag of bank, man. we had And he he spent the money. he He's got thousands of dollars in animatronics because you know people have really paid for it. yeah But you know when you start figuring a guy's pulling down three hundred k and night,
01:30:44
Speaker
oh yeah uh yeah that boy discovered what he's supposed to do we we have a place here it's it's it's huge people come from all over the country to go to it's called what do they it started out as the haunted hoochie uh now i think it's haunted acres but when halloween season rolls around both sides of the road and they're only open what are they open thursday Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, I think it is.
01:31:11
Speaker
But both sides of the road, and traffic is tra was backed up miles. You know, you get in there, they got a big stage. So usually they'll have acts while you're waiting in line. They'll have music. They'll have performances, whatever.
01:31:26
Speaker
and and And in the last few years, man, they've opened up. They've got like a haunted barn. They've got the the ah field, the original attraction. there's so apple If you build it, they will come.
01:31:38
Speaker
yeah i would love to see what they make. because well and then they got run and Outside of Sandusky, Ohio.
01:31:46
Speaker
They get big blow-up headside in Sandusky. Yeah, yeah. yeah yeah and it They run them through there. They run them through there like pigs who are turnstile. Yeah, that's that the haunted the hunted i think it's what it's called Haunted Acres now. It's in Potoskal. It's actually just right down the road from me.
01:32:04
Speaker
um and they got they got food trucks that pull in there they got vendors i think they've changed i think they several years back they switched it up to where you could buy alcohol and like i mean they're doing they're they're doing some serious and it's and it's fun it's scary as hell it's fine they got they got actors when you're waiting in line that are fucking with people when you're going around because they that you know you get in and And now it's set up like, it's almost like an amusement park almost where you go in and you're not waiting in line.
01:32:36
Speaker
Like back, you know, now you can in and you can watch whoever's on stage. You can go get food. You can go do this. You can go do that. And then they got the attractions, but they've got actors that are walking around. They're, they're, they're doing their thing, man. It's it's like,
01:32:51
Speaker
Holy crap. I would love to see what you profit. Now, I know you're putting as much money. I know you're putting a ton of money out there, but I would love to see what you profit for this 30 to 45 day period that you're open. Yeah.
01:33:06
Speaker
yeah Yeah. And who doesn't want that, right? Who who doesn't want to have, you know, ah ah those scary experiences and enjoy it to, you know, and there's a lot more fun when there's a bunch of people getting scared the shit out of at the same time, you know, there's a, there's a camaraderie that comes with it, you know, and when they're coming out of the building, you know, they're all hooli-gooli with it and you're like, Oh yeah, I'm next. Yeah. You, you make a,
01:33:32
Speaker
you you you make You make new friends. And when you when you come out of the the experience, you're like, we survived. We weren't in any real danger, but we survived together. we may and Nothing like being chased with a chainsaw, right? Yeah, yeah you know exactly. but like That stuff is like from you know right up your you know right up your alley with some of the music I've heard and stuff like that. That's that's what's cool. is like You know, I can see you guys up on stage at Haunted Acres, you know, like entertaining the crowd while they're waiting and doing whatever because you have that appeal about you.
01:34:17
Speaker
Yeah, we we wrote a song that's pretty scary, and and it's actually called People Are the Real Monsters. and uh we we go into why you know all ah all of those scary movies and stuff actually came from some pretty horrible experiences that weren't necessarily supernatural you know yeah right but
01:34:39
Speaker
And so, you know, we've had, um you know, of a wealth of experience, a wealth of background and able to put all these things together. So we're not really spring chickens going in. we're We're pretty well versed in what we like to do and and how we want to do it. And we we asked Jake, you know, okay, you know, what do you want for this scene? You know, direct.
01:34:58
Speaker
You direct and we'll do it. You know, just like actors. We'll put them here. Yeah. And and that that's a real kick in the pants when you get to work, collaborate with somebody on a project and, okay, I need this.
01:35:10
Speaker
Okay, we're doing it. You know, and give yeah you can sometimes give them a couple of options. Yeah, because he has a vision as a director and as, you know, as an actor or whatever. And then you're given a project and you might have a different vision, but to be able to come together and go, okay, this is what I'm thinking.
01:35:28
Speaker
What are you thinking? Right. And being able to mesh those two things into one is is really cool. And like I said, I mean, the horror genre as far as yeah movies go is my favorite genre. People ask me all time, what's your favorite movie?
01:35:44
Speaker
What genre? Horror. What genre of horror? What are you talking about? Right. What do you mean? genre genre Horror is of the only one of the only genres of movies that has sub-genres, you know?
01:35:58
Speaker
you from the psychological to the horror to the gore to the comedy to the whatever. To the sci-fi. Yeah, sci-fi. One of the scariest movies yeah one of the scariest movies i ever saw when it first came out was Aliens.
Impact of Iconic Horror Films
01:36:12
Speaker
Man, when that thing jumped out of, and that damn thing was cutting people around, and yeah that was a that's sci-fi, but it was war. And, you know, the original thing.
01:36:24
Speaker
And then later on when Kurt Russell ah reprised the movie with the thing with all these morphing creatures coming. I mean, that was sci-fi and scary as shit. You know, so you're right, man. These these sub-genres, ah even like creepy people, you know, you think of of The Shining, you know.
01:36:42
Speaker
ah You know, all work and no play makes Jack ah a dull boy. And then, you know, um ah all these, the other one, um ah um what's the one?
01:36:56
Speaker
The Birds by Alfred Hitchcock. Oh, yeah. Sounds innocuous enough. That's Birds, right? Oh, and then, of course, following that up. Yeah. um um I don't know why it's escaping me with um the house on the hill and and what's his name's killing people. His mother's still a rocking chair. and Yeah, psycho Norman Bates.
01:37:16
Speaker
With the stabbing scene in the shower. Yes. ah well's psycho nor Psycho Norman Bates. psycho with this You know, now we're talking about a different, a psycho genre of horror. Yeah.
01:37:28
Speaker
You know, and you're right. There's a lot of different, lot of different angles that are not necessarily supernatural, but leave you walking away from there, hoping to go to sleep at night, not thinking about it. I'll tell you what, I'm 43 years old and and and and that original Aliens,
01:37:46
Speaker
The thing jumping out of the stomach and the face suckers, they still that still fucks me up. I'm like, nah, man. Nah, I can't. because Because that's no warning. It just happens. but but you got it you got a good got a Ridley Scott. Ridley Scott.
01:38:03
Speaker
Yeah, did that director, Ridley Scott, did not tell the actors that that was going to happen. Oh, shit. He caught them completely. he he had them. They were just standing around. They didn't know what it was going to happen. They had no scene saying it was going to jump out of the stomach. None of that.
01:38:18
Speaker
So he caught them completely off guard with it jumping out. and And, of course, they had the camera on all the different Yafet Koto's face and Sir Gierney Weaver's face and all these famous people that ah that were in that movie.
01:38:29
Speaker
And ah so he caught them completely off guard, man. And that's a serious piece of direction to me is when... The actors don't know what's coming. Yeah. No, that's that's like that's like in The and the Shining.
01:38:44
Speaker
ah a lot of those scenes, Stanley Kubrick didn't let Shelley Duvall know what was going on. So a lot of those scenes, when she she it was 100% terrified.
01:38:56
Speaker
When Jack's coming through the door, yeah can with the she she had no idea. She was legit terrified. like she's she's She's done interviews. yeah within thing Completely candid.
01:39:07
Speaker
Yeah, that movie, she said that movie really messed her up psychologically. Words are hard. and Mentally. ah She said that movie really messed her up mentally because there was just a lot of stuff she wasn't prepared for or she didn't know. And and in those scenes where shes where she's terrified, that was that was real.
01:39:27
Speaker
That wasn't fake. That wasn't acting. That was legit terror. Yeah. Yeah, that's awesome, man. And that's that's a great piece of direction and to surprise the actors with.
01:39:39
Speaker
know and And there's a lot of other movies that where the director, Alfred Hitchcock was the master of horror. you know I have over 100 films of his that are silent movies before he before he started getting into the genre of horror. But he was already on that path of ah of ah getting messing with your mind.
01:39:58
Speaker
And then you know his TV show was was ah ah placid by by comparison as to what of some of the movies he did. Yeah, I am a fan of Alfred Hitchcock. He was he was kind of a master of the ah psychological mindfuck.
01:40:17
Speaker
ah Yeah, the macabre. Yeah. Yeah, man. i um I am a fan. And I got to give Stephen King credit where it's due because he's you know where it's due because he's He's very good at that too. He's also very good at just scaring the absolute living hell out of you for no fucking reason other than the fact that he's Stephen King and he can.
01:40:40
Speaker
Yeah, you know, and I found over watching certain things that he has morphed two or three stories into one and then made it his own. Like Rose Red was ah you know, ah ah compilation a compilation of the original um ah ah I'm trying to think of the the name of them Oh, The Haunting.
01:41:00
Speaker
The Haunting, all black and white. You never saw a ghost. You never saw a monster. Scared the bejesus out anyways. He kind of did that and and put together the Winchester Mystery House and combined those into a movie called Rose Red, which was pretty scary.
01:41:15
Speaker
yeah and but you never really you never really saw monsters it just creeped you out man because of the way they directed it and threw it right in your face at the you know some things you can hear it coming because the music leads you up to it yeah sometimes they stop playing the music like and you're like uh-oh and sometimes sometimes they don't start playing the music until you've already got the shit scared out of you then the music kicks in right you're Right, right, right, right. did and and and and a You know, you go back to go back to go back to psycho. You just had, oh, what's her name in the shower doing her thing. And then all a sudden it was like, whoa, I was not expecting that. And I watched that as a kid.
01:42:03
Speaker
You know, ah first time I watched psycho, I watched it as a kid. So it was just like, Oh, cool. Naked lady in the shower. What's going on? know, and all of a sudden, like a Norma Bates is stabbing her. That, that, that, that, that damn noise. Oh man, that's stuck in my head for years.
01:42:19
Speaker
I got, I got to go to that original set on universal studios where they filmed it. And that, that house was a miniature. it was about the third of the size of a normal house, but you know, with the camera, you know, the way that out outour looks pretty big, you know,
01:42:34
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And so the magic of Hollywood, man, you know, it's really true. It's good stuff. Old good Hollywood tricks and stuff for you.
01:42:47
Speaker
um No, I love that stuff. I get excited for that kind of stuff. And I think that's what what really got me excited for your style of music is because you're we right along that that line.
01:42:58
Speaker
and and And you do a little bit of everything, which is cool, too, because it's like, you could you could create ah You could create a bohas playlist with nothing but your music.
01:43:10
Speaker
And every other song could be something different. You're not going to get the same style. Yeah, we've got about... We got about 1,200 songs in our playlist right now. And I've recorded almost 40 albums and and internationally from all over the place. You know, every every kind of style and genre you can imagine.
Creating Music Playlists for Halloween
01:43:30
Speaker
But, you know, we're going to have another Halloween video coming up this year. And we may use excerpts. from, you know, Soul's Chapel or whatever to do that, but we're also going to write some new music, but I'm, ah I really would like to hear your feedback after I send you ah music from the Haunted Hoss, man. I think oh um if that that's what you like, if your cup of tea, brother, it might you'll drink it up, man. It's pretty crazy.
01:43:56
Speaker
It might wind up being my Halloween playlist because that's one of my favorite things to do is every Halloween when I'm passing out candy to the neighborhood, I always have Halloween music blasting in the background. So, I mean, yeah, I could, yeah, it might wind up on that on that playlist where I'm playing the the Halloween music and stuff.
01:44:14
Speaker
and i And I do, I love getting new music. I love being introduced to stuff. And somebody that I interviewed on here, James Luker, who's become like a little brother to me. That's the cool thing about doing this show is that I try to stay in contact with people as much as I can.
01:44:29
Speaker
i know their schedule, my schedule, whatever, but I try to stay in contact with people as much as I can. But, um, You know, I formed some really good friendships. And James is like, dude, you need to do reaction videos to music. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not reaction guy. You know what I mean?
01:44:45
Speaker
I'll tell you it's awesome. I'll tell you I like it. Or I'll tell you that it's dog shit. But I'm not really put the camera on, listen to the music and react guy. You know? and Right. he's like yeah but That's unfair. You got to be able to digest it.
01:44:59
Speaker
Mm-hmm. Yeah. You know, and that's the beautiful thing. Once again, we're kind of circling back towards the internet ah and all these great internet radio stations like yourselves and the and the ability to, you know, do these interviews and stuff is that you you you create a network of people who can become friends and you'd like to see where their careers go.
01:45:21
Speaker
We're so excited about people that we've ah taken under our wing as a protege. and doing it and doing stuff. you know A couple of years back, not that long ago, I did um an album, a whole album with Rala Jewett called Croonin' and Swoonin'.
01:45:36
Speaker
And we did all the cover songs from back in the day, you know, Dino and Frank and Mel Torme and you know Bob Goulet and all those different great guys. And we're going to do another one called Croonin' and Swoonin' again, and I've been working on it for about six months now.
01:45:51
Speaker
um I'm writing all original songs in that vein. Hell yeah. old crooners. I do love these crooners. yeah once once in a while, you know, it just fits your mood.
01:46:04
Speaker
You know, music is mood music, man. Yeah, yeah man. yeah You know, yeah there's some days I got to listen to Three Dog Night. And there's some days I got to listen to Led Zeppelin 3.
01:46:16
Speaker
And some days I'll get hooked on my Beatles albums, you know. there's ah It's a beautiful thing, music. It really is the way that it has this ah galactic in ah interconnectivity that strikes us all. you know yeah It's not that's just astonishing.
01:46:32
Speaker
it just a Yeah, that's how it is. It just depends on my music. and That was something Roland and I talked about when I had him on here. did not expect to hear... When I was going through his playlist of songs, I did not expect him to do crooners.
01:46:48
Speaker
And then I listened to it and I was like, holy shit. He's really fucking good at this. Like, this is awesome. You know, it was really good.
01:46:59
Speaker
but ah But, yeah, man. it Yeah, man. Yeah, my mood or just whatever. like Like I said yesterday, I was at the lake. and And fortunately, i yeah Memorial Day weekend, you know, I picked the right lake. And I went to, and there was literally, ah I was just hanging out on the beach.
01:47:14
Speaker
And there was, like, maybe... eight other people there other than me because I know where everybody was yesterday. why they were out at They were out at Buckeye Lake because they were all out on their boats and jet skis and everything like that. and i and i was right and i'm hoping I'm hoping there's not a lot of people there. I know it's Memorial Day weekend. I know it's the first day of summer and there wasn't.
01:47:34
Speaker
so i Like I said, I listened to the morgan the new Morgan Wallen album. Not the biggest fan of Morgan Wallen, but I do like some of his music, but I do love this new album. sure and then right after Right after it got done, YouTube switched from that to a two hour and some odd minute playlist of eighty s hairband ballads.
01:47:52
Speaker
And I was like, wow, this is what i this is what I need in my life right now. It just, it clicked something just right. And that's what I had in my ears. but yeah All the 80s hairbands. And it was just like,
01:48:03
Speaker
Hell yeah, man. I haven't listened to this stuff in fucking forever. and It's a time machine. Yeah, then from that playlist, it went into another playlist of 80s rock bands. And it was like Bon Jovi and and and and and all these bands. U2?
01:48:23
Speaker
Yeah, U2. And I know not quite the 80s, but they kind of...
Versatility in Music Production
01:48:29
Speaker
stumble into that era like guns and roses and stuff and i'm like hell yeah man this is a perfect fucking beach day music playlist let's go you just just kind of hit my mood just right and mean i was like hell yeah ah hashtag sunburn worth that's that's great right yeah you never know
01:48:54
Speaker
You know, those days off when you're able to just focus ah and let your mind go, not think about anything else and just hear that music, it transcends some time in reality. It really does.
01:49:06
Speaker
And yeah we live we live for those moments. You know, sometimes we write stuff and we listen back and we're like, holy shit, we wrote that. you know we yeah We done good. We done did do good. you know Yeah, when you like listening to your own music and you're still impressed by it or or or like, whoa, where did we come up with that? you know it's It's really a beautiful thing. Very super self-satisfying. It's one thing to think you're good.
01:49:36
Speaker
It's another thing to hear you and you go holy shit, that's that's really good.
01:49:43
Speaker
I'm so good. I had these belts made. Right. pray you know It's funny that you say that. My my friend, Michael Bear Clare, ah used to be on the pro wrestling circuit out of Nashville. He was called Dre.
01:49:58
Speaker
And Michael's about, I don't know, 6'6", 6'8". I don't know. He's this huge guy and used to wear these a big mohawk down the middle and giant glasses and wear like a white lab coat. And he he battled all of those famous guys from back in the day, man.
01:50:13
Speaker
And it's hard to believe, you know, he was a Chet Atkins personal understudy for over 10 years. He was on the road with Steve Miller band as one of their primary guitarists and all these famous people.
01:50:24
Speaker
And here he has this dual personality of being a pro wrestler, bashing chairs on each. And now he owns his own studio out of Iowa. And B, M, G Bay and, and BJ studios.
01:50:38
Speaker
And still a hell of a musician and still knows all those cats, man. You know, everybody from Kenzie Shibuya to, you know, ah I'm trying to think of the big Hispanic fella.
01:50:52
Speaker
But anyways, yeah, he was there with all of them, Hulk Hogan, all that. And but I love to see that kind of dual talent in people where they can do one thing and and have this other whole side gig that's pretty kick-ass, you know?
01:51:09
Speaker
Yeah.
01:51:13
Speaker
Yeah, when you're multi-talented like that, i always joke around like, I do this show because I can't. and Now, I like to think I can sing when I'm in my car or when I'm in the shower or Sometimes if I've had one too many Miller lights, I'll i'll go live on TikTok and sing.
01:51:29
Speaker
um But I can't carry a tune in a bucket, and I can't play this. I got a guitar sitting back here. I've had this guitar for like 20-some years, and I can do this. Nice.
01:51:40
Speaker
That's all I can do with it. Wow, you're tearing that up, man. I know, right? it It holds hats more than anything else. There's few instruments. There's a few instruments here behind me, the Martin and the Gretchen and all the famous ones. And then to my left, there's another six guitars and ah and a banjo on this wall. and ah and ah And then the studio in there, there's electronic drums and the conga drums and all that stuff. we um if If we don't have it, you don't need it.
01:52:14
Speaker
If it's horns, you got to bring your own. yeah If it's horns, you got to bring your own because ain't spitting through them things. you know ah But yeah, it's it's fun having a studio where everything is right at hand.
01:52:28
Speaker
You know, you you got a rip going. You're like, huh, what's this? dan And in the studio, all I got to do, quite frankly, is get in one good rip. And then we just keep looping that son of a gun. Sounds like yeah like I'm good all the way through. no I ain't. i'm a p i'm a piece I'm a piece player.
01:52:47
Speaker
I play by the piece. Yeah, there you go. I've seen the banjo back there. It's a lot of fun. I've seen the banjo back there. i love the I grew up listening to Bluegrass. Always been a big fan of Bluegrass.
01:53:00
Speaker
And the banjo is so diverse because obviously you can do the fun banjo, but you can also go real creepy, real kind of southern gothic style with a banjo right now. and and Yeah, like deliverance. Yeah.
01:53:18
Speaker
yeah yeah the ah right above Right above that curtain, there's a mandolin. and Over here, there's bunch of wackadoodle stuff and a pedal steel in there and the corner. and Then we got some gold albums on the wall from stuff that we've done over here. Hell yeah. Just some gold albums. Whatever. Yeah.
01:53:36
Speaker
Right. right The
01:53:41
Speaker
the recording booth on the other side of where I'm at ah is a two-story tower. So I can go up into that tower and and it's an amazing writing medium up there. i don't know what it is, but you go up there and you just start getting flooded with stuff. It's got three windows all the way around. So you can look at wildlife or just mountains. for The only thing you can see out my windows is forest. As far as the eye can see, there ain't no structures. There's We're in a no-fly zone. We got no planes, trains, or no automobiles. and And so it's really conducive to writing
01:54:14
Speaker
um ah And then of course, you know you go downstairs and record something.
Authenticity in Music Creation
01:54:19
Speaker
So ah it's it's been a super blessing and we've done we've learned to master the remote recording, ah something we've done for a decade now with artists from all over the world. And we literally have them ah record raw vocals, nothing to it, absolutely nothing.
01:54:37
Speaker
and And then we take it from there. We like to build things from scratch, you know? And anytime you get too many cooks in the kitchen, it ain't what we did. You know, we we don't allow anybody to co-produce or sit in here and tell us what to do or any of that stuff.
01:54:53
Speaker
We're too busy for that. They got to go somewhere else. So ah what we turn out is radio ready product. We have a saying it's on the other side. You can't see it from here. it says if you don't.
01:55:06
Speaker
um Let me see what is exactly says. If you don't.
01:55:16
Speaker
if If you don't um expect perfection, you receive mediocrity. Oh, wow. Note for note, word for word, line for line. We go old school.
01:55:29
Speaker
um and And, you know, if it takes us 100 hours to do a song, that's what it takes to make absolutely perfect. We don't use ah you know any auto tunes or pitch selections or all that stuff. and you know If you can't hear it, you can't do it. you know Otherwise, you're letting the AI do everything for you and stuff. And we love AI for doing graphics on on ah videos and stuff like that. That's a wonderful tool. But and for as far as music, is ah it lacks um the personal experience, the personal emotions, the personal touch.
01:56:01
Speaker
So, um yeah, we've said, man, you guys are so good. It sounds like you're using AI. No. we yeahre We're not clever enough for that yet when we can always do what we do.
01:56:13
Speaker
You know, we got enough experience. Like I said, I've been at this since 1966. And, ah you know, my my first recording was with guys who didn't even know I existed.
01:56:24
Speaker
And it turned out to be Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods and all that back in 1967. And So, you know, I have the experience of quote unquote, been there, done that. and And I really rely on on my background and my experience. I really do.
01:56:42
Speaker
ah and it's coming out. It's coming out now where we're actually writing better music than we ever have before. done You know, trial by error, you know.
01:56:54
Speaker
So I mean, I'm moving behind me. I think there's a lot. There might be a lot. of I was going to say, I mean, you got almost 60 years. There's a there's a giant cat back there.
01:57:06
Speaker
You got almost 60 years in the business. you You know, you would hope that you knew would know what you're doing at this point.
01:57:16
Speaker
Yeah, yeah, by God, I must have learned something.
01:57:23
Speaker
If you didn't learn anything, you've had one hell a time. At this point, I hope you learned something. Yeah. if you'd Exactly, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And if you didn't, you had one hell of a time. And at the end of the day, that's all that matters, man. We're we're not here for a long time, but we're here for a good time.
01:57:39
Speaker
So.
Songwriting and Collaboration
01:57:43
Speaker
Right. You got to create a legacy. You know, my my friend, once again, Michael Bear Clare, he told me something a few years back that really stuck with me about a dozen years ago. He said, Hoss, he said, there there ain't no legacy in cover tunes.
01:57:57
Speaker
You know, ain't no legacy in that. He said, you know, the the real legacy is in ah writing original music and then other people covering your stuff, you know. Yeah.
01:58:08
Speaker
And that, that is Man, that's solid gold in your heart. you know and yeah Because you know music comes from the soul. And so when it when it comes back to you like that, you know that's the old de cliche, the greatest form of flattery is imitation.
01:58:24
Speaker
you know no Or somebody saying, ah I love that song. you know And we're starting to get a few people like that and say, oh, I'd like to cover that song. and Okay, go ahead on. Get it now. Just don't think out who wrote it.
01:58:40
Speaker
Yeah, man. oh All we want is the the legacy of you know who wrote it. and and And that's a beautiful thing. It really is.
01:58:52
Speaker
Yeah, because, I mean, there's there's been a lot of artists out there that have done amazing. And and and and and especially for the younger generation, um I've had this conversation with my kids.
01:59:05
Speaker
Oh, have you heard this new song, Dad? And it's a cover. And I'm like, yeah. hold on a second let me show you something and i'll play the original for them and they're like holy shit i'm like yeah you know it some bands some some bands will will do an amazing cover um there's this young lady that i've had on on on here a couple few times she's uh she's become a very near and dear friend of not only this show and myself but the network um the first time I had her on I I had to I had to give her a lot of props and a lot of credit because she did a cover of Jimi Hendrix all along the watchtower and she killed it yeah man she wrote it yeah she absolutely killed it and I said for an independent artist and especially because because it was you know it was a few years old and she was kind of shocked that I found it and I was like
02:00:01
Speaker
for for you to do that and have the balls, like there's some songs where you got to really have some moxie behind you to cover. And that's one of those, in my opinion, I said, you you absolutely killed it.
02:00:13
Speaker
You, you, you own that song and you did a fantastic job. And I, we've played it on, on the network here and people are like, what is this?
02:00:24
Speaker
Or the those that are older are like, holy shit, that's a, that's a Hendrix song. And she killed it. You know, like, And then there's other times where you get the flip side of the coin and somebody covers a song and it's just like, oh, yeah, maybe you shouldn't have done that.
02:00:44
Speaker
Yeah, like Simon Crowell is, you know, that that ain't your song or or, you know, you need to find something that is your song. ah and And so those are beautiful things. It's amazing to me how many people haven't heard of the harmonies that the the Beach Boys did or the harmonies that the Bee Gees did.
02:01:01
Speaker
yeah And they're listening to it the first time and they're just amazed. They've never heard such a thing, you know. And I've been the recipient of listening to beautiful music. basically right out of World War II, you know, with my parents.
02:01:15
Speaker
ah So it's and it's a blessing to have, you know, x some X amount of years of experience and then realize, huh, I'll be darned, those did add up.
02:01:26
Speaker
Right.
02:01:30
Speaker
yeah Yeah, you talk about bands. Now they're in there. you know When you hear the greatest of the greatest songwriters yeah you're the greatest of the greatest songwriters, you end up ah you learning the things that I've learned.
02:01:43
Speaker
um There's four basic precepts in music that we do, and it's the hooks, kicks, licks, and tricks ah method of telling a story and then realizing you know that where what the hook is and and the you know The kicks is always about the... I tell people all the time, you know they they say, oh, I got a song. I want you to do a song. I say, well, what is it? And they go, okay, well, I've only written down the lyrics.
02:02:08
Speaker
Well, do you have a tempo? A tempo? A beat? No. Is it slow, medium, or fast? I don't know. Do you have a chorus? Do you have a bridge? No. I said, well, you got a poem. but yeah yeah yeah you know Where's the rest of it?
02:02:23
Speaker
You just got words on paper at this I thought you'd come up the rest of that, and then I'll think about Otherwise I'm doing all the work and you're going to call it your song. and Yeah. we've had We've had a few people do that.
02:02:36
Speaker
ah we We do everything and then they call it their song. you know zo yeah It's okay with us. um People got to scratch their head a little bit. Yeah, ah exactly. I mean, sometimes that's all you can do with people.
02:02:51
Speaker
You can just go, yeah, yeah. That happened. And you, and you hope, and you hope that they had the class to give you the kudos for, you know, putting it together for them.
02:03:03
Speaker
Not everybody does. Sometimes people take all the credit, you know, but yeah, and then they get one shot and then that's it with us. Pretty much we're moving out. We're busy. You know, we don't like it. We're busy. Yep. Hey, I'm, I'm, I'm right there with you.
02:03:16
Speaker
You, you get, you get one shot, you get one chance, you get one opportunity. Like Eminem said, uh, yeah You screw me over. yeah yeah you do me dirty. ye I'm out. I'm good. I'm not going to associate with it.
02:03:30
Speaker
ah yeah ah Yeah, what's the old cliche? Once burned, twice shot. no Yeah. Yep.
02:03:40
Speaker
Exactly. Yeah. Well, I want to, I'm both you. You've been amazing brother. It was, ah it was, it was a pleasure to meet you I do want to get ready to wrap this up. I want to play one more song.

Too bad we ain't closer.
02:04:02
Speaker
I know. Right. Um, but, uh, I always ask my guests for like a final thought, you know, closing words or anything like that. So I'm going to play one more song and then we'll come back and wrap up and we'll, we'll, we'll get the hell out of here. Yeah, man. I would love to have you back again down the road.
02:04:21
Speaker
Maybe after I get a couple albums and get an opportunity to listen to them, I'll we'll invite you back and I can, I can give you my, my, ah my opinion on what I thought of.
02:04:36
Speaker

Speaker
ah So before we get out of here, before I do my spiel and all that jazz, let people know where they can find everything at and where they can find you at.
02:09:15

02:09:45
Speaker
And so, you know, collaborate, ah commiserate, um and and, you know, be with each other for the for the for the loans, just for the soul's sake of being with each other, because beautiful things can come out of relationships.
Networking in the Music Industry
02:09:59
Speaker
By the way, I noticed you had my selfie on there. I did my own makeup. and that was ah the video That was the video from ah from Facebook. Yeah. ah I was digging the makeup. Yeah, that song's actually...
02:10:13
Speaker
Yeah, it's actually on um ah Daylight to Dark, that track as well. Okay, nice. There you two songs.
02:10:25
Speaker
Right, you got one from each. And so, yeah, it's it's been a blessing. It's really been an honor to be on your show and hang out with you, Glick. Like I said, too too bad we weren't in the same state we could find some trouble to get into.
02:10:39
Speaker
But other than that, man, it's a... you know Let's go music, right? Yeah. um I'm all about getting into trouble and finding shenanigans. So shenanigans is my middle name.
02:10:54
Speaker
Yeah, i have I have a shirt that says I'm the shenanigator. again i
02:11:02
Speaker
I dig it. I like it. um I do want to say thank you again, Bo. Guys, if you're not already checking us out, go ahead and find us everywhere. All of our social media links, bio.link slash nonsensicalnetwork.

02:12:06
Speaker
Right. So. And thanks again. Yeah, absolutely, man. It's been a pleasure. Roland and Jake, everything they said about you, 100% true.
02:12:20
Speaker
I won't tell you the bad things they said, but the good things were all true. Well, no, those are probably true, too. You know, it's it's funny because a friend of mine, Huey Lewis, back in the day, he said, man, he said, you got so many stories. He said, it's crazy. And I said, well, most of my lies turn out to be true.
02:12:37
Speaker
And so he wrote a whole song about that, about most of his stories turn out to be true just from that one line. And so it's a blessing to work with other people. It really is. i think i think I think that's one of the cool things about being in the entertainment world, whether you're a musician or you're an actor or you're a director or just some jerk-off podcast host, getting to meet all the different people and and and getting to meet people and work with people. And and and then, you know like I said, Roland and Jake,
02:13:07
Speaker
told me about you and, and, and and I went and listened to some of the music and then when you and I got to talking, you know, I'm all down for that. Anybody who knows anybody out there, whether it music industry or whatever you want to send them my way, send them my way.
02:13:21
Speaker
If they got good music, I'll, I'll bring them on. Now I have had to be mean a couple times. Well, yeah, a couple times. is It's just like, eh, I see what you're trying to do, but maybe you should pursue a different avenue. Yeah.
02:13:36
Speaker
You're not very good at it. And I don't like to be that guy, but I'm always...
02:13:43
Speaker
But I do love being... If you're hard to work with, we're busy. Yeah, exactly. i do love being introduced to new people. and and and you know And the same goes for you. If there's anybody you think would be a good fit on this show, send them my way.
02:13:55
Speaker
and And I will gladly chat with them and and and well we'll get them set up and scheduled because I'm always down for meeting new people and especially getting to hear new music.
02:14:06
Speaker
Because that's my language, man. I love i love music. that's it know And any facet of life, whether I'm down, bad mood, grumpy, happy, you know whatever my mood is, music has always been the soundtrack to my life at the end of the day.
02:14:24
Speaker
And it's always my go-to. I'm probably going listen to some music when we get off here. I'm probably going to dive into a little, little some I don't know, maybe a little bit of your category. maybe and i'm gonna you got You guys got a lot of stuff on YouTube, man.
02:14:38
Speaker
You hit me with a fun fact. And real quick before, I know we're getting ready to wrap up. Real quick before we get off here. When we first started talking, you hit me with a fun fact about Buckethead. Yes. you would What was that? You want to share that?
02:14:54
Speaker
Well, you know, Buckethead was with ah Guns N' Roses for a little bit. Where's Buckethead on his head with the goofy grin and all that? That man is prolific. Holy mackerel. I did a little research. I Googled it up. I looked at what the, you know, what artists ah the last four years has written, created, produced, and um performed more original music.
02:15:18
Speaker
And lo and behold, Buckethead came up with like 1100 songs or something just important this in the last four years. I'm not kidding you. And then number two on the entire list of all things was Bo Haas.
02:15:29
Speaker
And I was ahead of Taylor Swift. i so So I thought, well, must be doing something right. Either that or maybe, you know, maybe we're prolific too. Yeah, I know. When he told me that, I was like, wait a minute.
02:15:41
Speaker
The Buckethead? like i didn't know if it was going to be like some random guy that calls us. and I was like, The Buckethead, which was impressive to me, which was really cool. I thought that was really cool because he's an avalanche of music.
02:15:55
Speaker
Yeah, he is. and he And he's beyond talented at the end of the day. i mean, you take the goofy bucket, you take the gimmick you take the gimmick away from him, he doesn't need that gimmick. That's just No part of his personality at the end of the day.
02:16:09
Speaker
Right. Right. Exactly. And it worked for him. So, you know, sometimes you get to stick with the brand. Yeah. yeah so Yeah, exactly. You, you, you find something that works and sometimes you're stuck with that for life.
02:16:24
Speaker
Talking to you, John Cena, you're stuck with the jorts for life. right right but but i'd like to known as the i'd like to be known as that guy that can sing and write anything you know that that would be a nice little legacy is you know uh to be known as the the king the king of multi-genre you know that'd be great yeah and another all of that like i said guys if you if you check out bo

02:17:03
Speaker
yeah He's all over the board and that's, and that's cool. Especially for somebody like me as a, as a music fan. And, and I just soak it all in, man. Like whatever, whatever's out there, it's just,
02:17:18
Speaker
