The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Newly acquainted bros with nothing better to do after work so we decide to try this podcast stuff. We'll be having daily discussions about various topics from current events to whatever is on our minds. Let's get real and hopefully have a few laughs along the way.
The Shakedown with Shooter and Mac G
Tacos, Tech, And Tangles: A Podcaster’s Guide To Not Freaking Out
Press record before you feel ready. That’s the energy we bring as we swap honest lessons from the early days of building a podcast from a simple setup above a noisy bar. We get practical about Buzzsprout, how an RSS feed actually syndicates your show, and the small stack of tools that make shipping easier: AI help for titles and descriptions, and audio cleanup that saves hours without killing the vibe. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s momentum.
We also get into the creator head game: why everyone hates their own voice, how to edit yourself without spiraling, and the balance between planning and letting a conversation breathe. Our approach is simple: pick an anchor topic, allow detours, then loop back to land the plane. That structure keeps episodes human and still listener-friendly. And yes, life intrudes—taco emergencies, tea breaks, weather talk—but we treat those moments as texture, not flaws.
Then we swerve into pop culture with a hot debate over Superman, the DCU reboot, and franchise fatigue. Casting rants, continuity gripes, and questions about origin stories reveal a deeper theme: audiences will follow change when the rules feel coherent. Podcasters face the same contract with listeners—set expectations, evolve with intent, and communicate the why. We connect that to catalog strategy: keep clean archives, name files clearly, and repurpose highlights into clips, transcripts, and paywalled extras through Buzzsprout or Patreon-style tools.
If you’re starting a show, or restarting with fresh energy, this conversation is your nudge: show up, define “done,” release on schedule, and improve one notch at a time. Subscribe, leave a review if you’re feeling it, and tell us the one topic you want us to tackle next. Your ideas fuel the next recording.
So we're live? Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Live, the mic is hot.
SPEAKER_01:Here at the show. We're not live, but the mic is hot. Well, hopefully soon we will be live, you know?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Hopefully soon it could be live. One of these days we could do a live show. YouTube does a live show. They let you do live shows. And before we get in uh any further, I do want to welcome everybody to the show. Appreciate everybody showing up as we're you know, having a good time. But yeah, none of dude. I mean so far, we got a bud sprout, Patreon, a little bit of YouTube. How many videos we got on YouTube so far? Like five? That's not bad. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Five.
SPEAKER_01:And what about what about Patreon?
SPEAKER_03:Patreon, nothing. Nothing? I can't figure out how to post something up. I think we have to do that stuff live.
SPEAKER_01:Really?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, dude. Meaning we have to cut this off and then we have to go on there.
SPEAKER_01:Patreon. So Patreon's the live one? I didn't know that. Yeah. I thought Patreon was almost like Bush Prout. What's the difference then? So we could let our people know.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, Patreon is is it's not live, but uh we can't take this stuff and post it over there. So we have to actively log on to Patreon.
SPEAKER_01:We log on to Patreon, and then whatever we do.
SPEAKER_03:From what I understand, from my understanding, I'm not saying that's what you have to do. I'm still looking into it, but from what I see is that you can't just download whatever. You have I mean, yeah, it's gonna since it's linked, it is linked to Buzz Sprout, so it will play our weekly episode per week. It doesn't save a library. So when we post another one up, that last one goes out. Another one pops up. You can't edit it on uh on We have to edit it. It's everything through through everything is through Buzz Buzzsprout.
SPEAKER_01:And then from Buzzsprout, it shoots it out to Patreon.
SPEAKER_03:Like I told Patreon, check out I gave a Patreon our RSS feed, because that's what you need as a podcaster. You you get an RSS feed. That's what's a what's a RS that's what tells the other platforms this is our podcast and all that stuff. That's what distinguishes us from everybody else, as far as name or anything else. We get you know, just like the concentration camps, we're given a number. So they give us a number, right? Yeah. Or I mean you can pick your own name and try and go in there and see if whether your name is is been used up or not. But I mean, I'd rather just make it easy and just get whatever fucking number, whatever it is, RSS feed link they gave me that's usable. I just yeah, I don't want to have to say that. That's kind of like when you cry when you try to create a creator name and then I'll tell you what, we when we hit over 500 uh uh downloads, then then then I'll worry about then I'll worry about all the rest of all that. But for now, it's like yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well, I just want to thank the people that do take the time to download this video.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, for sure, for sure. I mean uh that's why I said that is to uh to motivate our listeners to uh hit that subscribe button or too. I mean, once they hit play, it's it's pretty much downloaded.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay, that's cool.
SPEAKER_03:Hit the play button. And and and hopefully we have some uh add us to your favorite podcast list or whatever.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. And hopefully we have some people who stay tuned in and can like what we got going on here and you know. But as far as Bud Sprout and uh Patreon, I feel like we use Budspout Bud Sprout more than anything.
SPEAKER_03:Well, I mean, they're the ones that are getting us out there, they're the ones we're paying. True.
SPEAKER_01:And and what and is that the one is Budsprout no Buzzprout's not the one with the AI thing that helps you? Yeah, that's true.
SPEAKER_03:Is it I mean they all do it, but I mean these guys are pretty pretty spot on about it.
SPEAKER_01:I would recommend it for people who are not I'm not really good at uh titling titling uh the show.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, first of all, you have to remember what it is the show is about, which we're really bad about. And then you have to really uh pick out some key words throughout the show in in as far as the different subjects we talk about to and a co-host AI really does a great job. AI co-host does a great job of just doing all that for us. So it's it's worth the ten dollars a month.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, that's not bad. Ten dollars of it's not bad, and then um it clears out most of the noise, too, ain't it?
SPEAKER_03:Well, no, that's uh magic mastering. That's another ten dollars. So twenty dollars in total for both those both those options, but it's it's phenomenal, dude.
SPEAKER_01:I'm not gonna lie to you. It's a great service.
SPEAKER_03:Uh I I use the crap. We I mean, literally everything uh you read from our descriptions of the show and everything else, that's all co-host they are. Believe me, I wish I was that linguistic or whatever. Uh the way they put the words together, the word play.
SPEAKER_01:I remember when we started and we tried to do our own. Oh man, that was it was a needed work. No, but now that um I I I mean, I hopefully the people can see the difference.
SPEAKER_03:Oh yeah, I mean, if we could see the difference. Oh yeah, you're right. I guess I do hope that people that are that tune in and uh those two or three listeners that are listening in evidently are noticing the difference.
SPEAKER_01:I I do. When I uh you know, um it's funny because like I was telling you earlier, I feel like a lot of people when they start a podcast, the first thing to get over is hearing yourself. You know, I'm not a big fan of my voice.
SPEAKER_03:Well, the first thing to get over is getting on the mic. Yeah, especially after that. When you get when it comes to the editing after that, then yes, you have to get over the fact that you're listening to yourself and your voice. Everybody hates the sound of their own voice, which is weird because everybody loves to hear themselves talk. Not me. Everybody loves to hear themselves talk, but nobody loves the sound of their voice. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You know, I think it's because um that's a paradox, isn't it? Yeah, it is.
SPEAKER_03:One of those human paradoxes of ours right there.
SPEAKER_01:I I think what it is is in our head we sound one way, and when we Oh no, yeah, that's for sure, dude.
SPEAKER_03:Believe me, I know. In my head, I sound like fucking uh Clark Hat Superman fucking just uh formal and all that shit. But then I hear myself on the phone on the radio.
SPEAKER_02:He went ahead that away, he went a that away. No, uh which way did he go? Which which way did he go?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. No, uh what I speaking of Clark Candy, what I don't like dude.
SPEAKER_03:Speaking of Clark Kand, what I don't like, uh I'm gonna I'm so sorry to stop me right there, bro. I finally watched the damn Superman movie. I'm I'm I don't know if you know this. I have a Superman tattoo. Let's hear it. I grew up there, dude. There's there's kid, there's childhood pictures of me in Superman costumes growing up. I Superman was my dude. Superman still is my dude. No matter what, Superman's my guy. But all I'm gonna say without going into too much detail. Oh, I'm gonna go into detail. Go go watch the movies, all I could say. But for my detail is that, yeah, Henry Cabill was the Superman, bro. Who's Henry Campbell? Henry Cabill.
SPEAKER_01:What what Superman? Uh year of Steel. Man of Steel. What year was that? Uh Snyder. Shan Snyder? I mean um uh Snyder. Who's Snyder? Um the director.
SPEAKER_03:Snyder's cut, Snyder, the guy that did the man of steel. Who is the new actor then? Huh? Who's the new actor?
SPEAKER_01:Who's the new actor that just did the new Superman? How did you like it?
SPEAKER_03:The man of steel, Henro Cavill, is Superman. That's all I can tell you right there.
SPEAKER_01:Just like Peter Parker is the OG Spider-Man. I don't know about this new guy, this British guy, I forgot his name. Yeah. I'm not I'm not messing with him. He's he seems like a good actor, don't get me wrong, but you can't tell me he's Spider-Man.
SPEAKER_03:Don't get me wrong. I'm sure I don't know, because like I used to be a family guy, but now I'm just uh, you know, my kids are adults and they're doing their own thing, so it's just me at home or just watching these movies on my own. I don't know. I I can't really, I can never really explain what it is about movies that don't hit the mark, but it just didn't hit the mark. It it was and I I'm sure they they went off of some sort of a Superman era of comics or something like that, but yeah, no, it uh it didn't do it for me. Don't forget your tacos.
SPEAKER_01:Oh my god. And I got a bone to pick with Clark Ken. She calmed you down, and we're back. So, like I was saying, uh those tacos, those fucking tacos, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And then we had a taco difficulty here. Here they're here at the shakes, you know, but uh it's it's all been taken care of, and believe me, it was definitely worth it. We'll leave it at that to to to be TBC for later. You know, this for for a later time.
SPEAKER_01:So um you were saying that the still demands.
SPEAKER_03:You were saying you had you had a bone to pick with the.
SPEAKER_01:I think I think I I don't know if I said this in another show already. I just want to reiterate.
SPEAKER_03:No, no, no, you haven't. This is news to me now. This is breaking news to me even.
SPEAKER_01:I don't like how when he puts his glasses on, he's all of a sudden like, oh my god, we're Superman. You know what I mean? Like, dude, fucking serious? Glasses? That that just that's all it took? And I'm not gonna lie, dude. You put some glasses on some people, and yeah, they do look different, you know. But it's just really it's like, come on, bro, I know that's him, bro. You know it's him, I know it's him.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you know, it's you know, it's a movie. I guess that's something. Yeah, but don't forget it's a movie. I don't know about Superman like that, but no, actually, they kind of touched up on that a little bit, but it was kind of a theory. In the end, you have to watch the movie, but honestly, it like isn't it? Yeah, and on and to be and from my from my point of view, I uh before this movie came out after the last Justice League movie in that lull, I was thinking, I mean, if they come out, if it if this one's done and Henry Cavill's not the not still Superman, I don't really want to see another origin story. I don't we've seen like how many we've seen quite a few origin stories already for Batman, for Superman, mainly mainly Batman, but still, you see, you've seen the origin story in the 80s with Christopher Reeves, you've seen it now with uh you've seen it, you've seen it everywhere in the shows, all the shows, it's all the same stuff. It might slightly be different, but it's all the same thing. Um I was glad that they kind of like just kind of hit the ground running. We're like, we already know you guys fucking know his backstory, so let's just get rid of that shit. But that's great that they did that. But what I did not like is that now you have it's like okay, yeah, we we're gonna appease you with like hitting the ground running. Fuck the origin story, but then they hit us with like robots and shit. Like, you know what I'm saying? Like these robots. Have you seen the new one? Okay, then I'm gonna get so that they get they hit us with a dog, they hit us with a rope, and I get it. There's a dog and all that crypto, but but that was the most care if that's the case. Crypto comics, if from what I remember, because I never really got into that whole thing or the or the the connections connecting that no, the connecting comics to that crypto has but I know that that the whole crypto thing was a really campy story. Very campy.
SPEAKER_01:He has his own story, the dog?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. At some point, it's in it's a very like kids' comic books, it's like a children's book comic book. Well, he is a good thing. Is what I'm saying. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_01:True.
SPEAKER_03:Does he kick ass? So that whole thing is campy, it's very chill, childlike, but then they hit you with these robots that are part of the the Fortress of Solitude and all this other bullshit, and and they never really explain where he says the dog's not his, but he doesn't really explain where whose it is, and I get it later on. You have to watch the movie, watch the movies, all I'm saying. So I'm not yeah, I'm just telling you, I'm just saying there's a lot of things that you just have to okay. So I guess this is happening, and that's just a normal thing, and that's happening, and that's a normal thing, and okay, but like I I saw some a couple of YouTube videos shorts on um how they pick how they casted uh cornsweat and and uh the Lois Land character, I forget her name. Terrible okay. To me, it was worse than a CW cast. It really was. What's a CW so the DCEU was in part the whoever was making Man of Steel, the Batman movies with Ben Affleck and all that stuff, Aquaman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, that was DCEU. But DCEU means Detective Comics Extended Universe, meaning that some of the TV shows that mainly came out on CW, like the the one with uh all those superheroes that were like time traveling or alternate reality traveling, I forget, I forget what it's called, but there was that one, there was Green Lantern, there was there was also Flash, which really wasn't canon to it, but it they still made it. There was uh a whole bunch of other DC the DC Lois and Superman, Superman Lois that were a part of the DC EU. But the DC EU ended and the DCU just Detective Comics universe, which is just the movies, and and whatever little shows they're gonna they're coming out on in Disney Plus are a part of that that whole thing. Forget everything else, forget forget the Justice League show, the no no Teen Titans show, forget the Justice League movies, all that other stuff. Has nothing to do with with this Superman movie. This is a whole brand new for the new generation. Yeah, forget forget everything else you that you saw from your throw it out the window. Throw it out the window. This is a whole new retelling of the Detective Comics universe because it got so jumbled up, and that sucks for a lot of the shows, like The Doom Patrol, that was a really great fucking show. I don't know. It's just for me, it that's so weird because I was I'm more of a DC comics guy than I am a Marvels guy. So I don't know, it just seems like they've really gotten off the deep end. Even with the the uh the Harley Quinn movie, uh don't get me wrong, the Birds of Prey was a great movie. Not that one, the the fucking uh those guys with uh Will Smith and Harley Quinn. Suicide Squad. Uh the Suicide Squad. I don't know. And I get I'm sure it was true true to the comics, but it's just the storylines. You know what? The first one was good, the second one, volume two, it was so far-fetched, man. They they introduce the fucking that creature that creature thing that gets like comes out in the beginning and then towards the end, which by the way is brother to the guy that's now running the D DC, okay, that's now running the the the Superman DC universe now. So that guy that played that creature, I forget his name, it's like a fucking mirror cat or some bullshit, I forget what it is. But that guy also played the guy on Guardians of the Galaxy that's uh part of uh the the dude with the with the floating stick he's whistling in the floating stick, his his second in command in Guardians of the Galaxy. Guardians of the Galaxy, you know, okay. The only thing I know about Guardian Galaxy. So you know the blue guy that that's Space Lord's space dad or whatever, the guy that kidnapped him. Anyways, so he has he has a second in command. So that dude's brother is now runs the DC universe, DCU. So he directed, he he's the one that that made he's the one that's in charge of everything that that Superman Batman that's coming out from now on after Batman 2. The Batman 2.
SPEAKER_01:Batman 2.
SPEAKER_03:So the Batman 2 is the last of the past DC stuff, DCEU shit. Now, after the Batman 2 happens, there it's a wall. Now it's DCU, now it's all whatever James Gunn says goes, and that's a part of whatever. So he's do he's doing the whole monsters and gods storyline, which is really, really just it's overplayed out. I don't really know. I just don't really remember reading that whole comic series, but it for me just it almost seemed like um Wonder Woman 70, whatever the fuck it was. Wonder Woman 87 or 78 or whatever it was, dude. It was just yeah, it just I don't know. I don't know if I'm just getting too old now or or what, but no. Henry Cavill and all those the rest of that they hit the mark on the on the uh cast, but it's it sucks that they that all these people that they casted were already so far, well most of them that's not true. They're just all fucking divas in one sense or another. Do you understand what I'm saying? Not all of them, but they all come with their specific requirements, requirements, fucking all that bullshit.
SPEAKER_01:The fucking the the the frames gotta be this the worst of them, Ezra Miller, fucking the flash, dude.
SPEAKER_03:That that's a flash. Fucking kid is a fucking idiot. He's a fucking didn't he uh if I ever see that kid I'll slap the shit out of him. I don't give a fuck, dude. I'll hopefully it'll smack five cents, five, five finger cents into his ass. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:What doesn't doesn't he like didn't he beat somebody up or something?
SPEAKER_03:He's a stupid butt, he's a stupid little bitch, is what he is, dog. Yeah, he was grooming some some little native girl or whatever yeah, dude. And you know what's the worst part is that they let him he's a he's uh he's a well what is uh Kendrick Kendrick say he's a 69 guy. Oh, he's a freaky, yeah, freaky ass nigga. He's a 69 god, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:But the worst part is that they let him continue to play the character.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, well, I mean, that was that was all that was what was happening when he was doing the movie.
SPEAKER_01:That's all yeah, you know, my brother was telling me about that, yeah, dude. And that's messed up.
SPEAKER_03:And don't get me wrong, that movie was really good and everything. It's I don't know. It's just for me, and you know, I'm uh I'm gonna watch the movie again, but it just no, no, Superman. The Superman movie. It just kind of throws you into a whole bunch of stuff that without explanation, you're just like, oh yeah, fucking Lex Luther is just like the king of the world or whatever. I get I get that they made him try to they try to make him look like it was a parody of like Trump. I get that whole thing, but yeah, you're supposed to just swallow that he just made a pocket universe. Exactly. It's like okay, what the fuck are all these portals about? Where the fuck are they going? Yeah, dude, it's just a weird movie. It's just I mean, I get it. I get it because it it was about just like trying to make a movie to sell to get the kids in there. They're oh, they're seeing Superman. Awesome. It's another Superman movie, just like the one with uh Brandon Roth. Same shit. Don't get me wrong, that movie still was way better than this other movie. It really was, dude. I don't get this whole robots thing, man. So if you're gonna make robots that are helping out Superman, how the fuck are they not gonna be like top? I'm because even the the the robots on the on on board of the ship uh on uh Man of Steel were like badass, motherfucker. You know what I'm saying? I didn't like it, dude. You just watch the movie because there's this thing, there's this part where Lex Luther just walks in, bro. Just walked into the Fortress of Solitude, like you're supposed to just accept that that happened. Like who's Lex Luther? What the fuck? Watch the movie, bro. No, I'm not gonna, we're not gonna go into this because if you're asking that movie, then that part then is he the bad guy?
SPEAKER_02:He's yeah, he's a bad guy.
SPEAKER_03:Lex Luther is uh is to bat is to Superman with the Joker is to Batman.
SPEAKER_01:So he's a kryptonite to his Yeah. You know, I don't you don't you you don't think that they're just doing it for the next generation?
SPEAKER_03:This whole thing of course they're doing it for the next generation. I get that. It still just was a really bad movie. It was a bad movie. I hate to say that because I don't really think it was a bad movie because I I don't like to say that about Superman. Because if you really think that's a bad movie, then what's the one thing that really got you though?
SPEAKER_01:Like really kind of like I just named it all, dude.
SPEAKER_03:I'm not gonna lie, I'm not gonna go, I'm not gonna go back all I just I just named it all.
SPEAKER_01:You're right. Well, mine is just the glasses. I don't, you know, just affecting it. I mean that really fits.
SPEAKER_03:That's a tough uh pill to swallow. But it's just like uh Batman. Come on, Batman's not gonna get killed at one point or another, really? And and all that time fucking dealing with with like people with guns and all that shit, he's not gonna get he's not gonna get got at one point or another.
SPEAKER_01:But then he would have to have a kid if he gets got and then that kid would have to take over if they want to continue to continue the story, man.
SPEAKER_03:That's why I don't understand where people are like, oh, Batman's better than Superman. No. I mean, in reality, dude, you can't really make a Superman movie. And I get where they were coming from. It's like, come on, dude, if Superman was that that powerful, I mean, this movie would only be like five minutes. Yeah, dude.
SPEAKER_01:I I don't get that, dude. Like, how is Superman that powerful? But against Batman, it takes a whole movie to kill him. It doesn't make sense, dude. I I don't and I don't like I'm not really a big fan of DC and all that, but I don't really like Batman just for the simple fact that he doesn't.
SPEAKER_03:Believe me, that that movie too had its own quirks, but a little bit more believable than the shit that was happening here, dude. You're just like every every scene is like, what the fuck is happening? And you don't get an explanation about that scene till like 10 minutes later. Oh yeah, that shit happened because this like what? Oh yeah, that shit happened five minutes, yeah, dude. It's just weird, bro.
SPEAKER_01:Sounds like uh like that Rick and Morty episode we were watching two months ago.
SPEAKER_03:Oh yeah, I mean, yeah, I don't know. You know, like I said, it's I'm gonna watch it another time because I'll admit I did get a little too doged, and I fell asle I fell asleep like the last 30 minutes of the movie. And and I can't remember the Mr. Terrific character, the same guy from um from the rock movie.
SPEAKER_01:The rundown?
SPEAKER_03:The rock movie with uh the DC rock movie Black Adam.
SPEAKER_01:Black Adam, never seen it. The one thing I don't like about Batman, and a lot of people you know, they get kind of upset. I don't think he's a real superhero Batman.
SPEAKER_03:You know, I mean he's a superhero, he fights crime and he saves people, right? But he's not a meta human like the rest of the people on in uh the DC University, if that's what you mean. Which doesn't make sense to me, dude. It doesn't make sense how someone like But yeah, he's ultra rich, that's the thing. That was but that doesn't make sense, bro. That's like Jeff Bezos. Exactly right.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, yeah, you know.
SPEAKER_03:But even still, that shit is all still more believable than the shit than all the premises of this last movie. And and I can't wait to see how the rest of this movie goes. And I might have missed a I'm sure the the more crucial parts of it were in the last 45 minutes of this movie. I might try to watch it again tonight, but yeah, man, I don't I don't know if I have to watch a re-watch a movie to really understand it and all that stuff, I don't know. I mean, I guess I'm gonna have to pull up the comics and and just figure that shit out too.
SPEAKER_01:So no, I'm not gonna lie, dude. I don't think I've ever watched a Superman movie. I'm more of a Spider-Man type of guy, but I haven't watched none of the new uh Spider-Man movies.
SPEAKER_03:So you're a Marvel guy then, basically. I mean if you're into X-Men, if you're not into X-Men, if you're in if you're into uh Spider-Man, Wolverine movies, Deadpool movies, all that shit. That's Avengers, Iron Man, that's all that's all Marvel. Hulk, Thor. They're they they ran the the market for the last 15, 20 years, bro.
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah, no doubt they got the Fantastic Four. They got a good list.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, they're cut they just came out with Fantastic Four.
SPEAKER_01:Supposedly people were complaining about the uniform.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, people were complaining about a Superman's uniform too, so you know.
SPEAKER_01:Doesn't he have the same uniform forever?
SPEAKER_03:Who? Superman? Motherfucker No, no, the emblem is different this time around. The last time the emblems or actually it was more square. The emblem before the this time and before the last time was different, and uh the emblem in the 50s was different than they're all different emblems, dude. Yeah, uh I'll send you a link of the generation of emblems. Even in the comics, it's the same thing.
SPEAKER_01:Didn't they do that of Batman's emblem?
SPEAKER_03:It's the same thing with all the all superheroes. Well, those are the main superheroes, but even with Bat with uh Spider-Man, it was the same thing. Even with with Wolverine, with a whole bunch of those characters.
SPEAKER_01:What's that one Batman that's not Batman, but he's Batman? He's all uh in an all-black suit, but he's got a red Bat symbol instead. Yeah, that one I haven't heard of.
SPEAKER_03:You've never seen it? He's he used to be a cartoon character. It's Batman. Oh, you're talking about like uh Batman with the futuristic Batman. Like, I don't know if he's a futuristic, but it was Batman 22, 26 or something like that.
SPEAKER_01:I don't know. All I know is that he was all black and he has a futuristic Batman. Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, it was a futuristic Batman. He was like, yeah, like 200 years or 2,000 years in the future. That's a long ass time.
SPEAKER_01:I think it was him in the future because uh when I was watching the show, the cars seemed like they were flying.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. Okay.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, see, I like him better. He's cool.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I don't, I don't, I never got into that one. Yeah, I was like, even the animated series too is way it it it keeps the same storylines as most the all most all the the other Batman series, but it's different. It's its own, it's not even its own comic. Like the c the cartoon started first, and then later after the comic got can the cartoon got cancelled, they they started coming out with comics of the animated series. Which they just called Batman the animated series, they just kept it as that.
SPEAKER_01:There's uh there's a lot of animated series.
SPEAKER_03:Which honestly, I think that's what uh that's what they got they got Spider-Man animated series, they got Superman's animated series, no, yeah, I mean yeah, but I mean even each one of those are different comics, dude. I mean look at the whole uh what if series. Have you heard of the what if series? No, I haven't. What if series for Marvel is just that what if? It's the Marvel is called the comics called What If. Like what if What if and a zombie epidemic happened and all our superheroes turned into zombies?
SPEAKER_01:That would suck.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah. What if you'd eventually at some point they're gonna make a Marvel versus DC comic DC movie because there's been a comic, there's been a few comics where Marvel and DC clash.
SPEAKER_01:I think I've seen those.
SPEAKER_03:There was a what there was, I think, a what if like kind of series where it was like I think it was uh Spider-Man versus Superman, which was kind of ridiculous. Anybody against Superman was was I mean it would have been better if it was like I I don't even know. Uh uh the guy with uh with the jewel in the Avengers. Ultra no, not Ultron, but um the guy with the jewel in the in the Avengers, he was in the first two Avengers or whatever. He yeah, well the Scarlet Witch's boyfriend. He would have been uh more of a comparable or even no, yeah, he would have been more of a comparable opponent opponent to Superman. But they also had like Wolverine versus Fuck who the fuck was it? Lobo, Wolverine versus Lobo. Logo Lobo, who's Lobo? You have to look at it. We'll waste a lot of time here, buddy. We're at 40 minutes already, so I don't know if you want me to go into that. I'll I'll I'll give you the history of Lobo.
SPEAKER_01:No, no, no, we don't no.
SPEAKER_03:But I don't want you cutting me off like no no I don't want uh it's okay.
SPEAKER_01:No, but uh you know I did I did hear a theory that the reason that Superman wears glasses is because without him he sees X-ray vision. I don't know. I don't I mean he sees X-ray vision with him one way or the other.
SPEAKER_03:Really? Well it's it's a thing.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, okay.
SPEAKER_03:Okay, it's like it's like the laser beams coming out of his eyes too. It's it's he you have to turn it on. It's not like it's all the time.
SPEAKER_01:Because I I thought those glasses were like specially made for him to not like accidentally shoot somebody with his laser eyes or accidentally.
SPEAKER_03:No, you know what I mean? Because there's this one. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure at first that's probably what was going on, but no, no, I'm sure. It it like I said, every comic is different, there's R1. Where, yeah, that's the case. There's others where he was able to control it. It just depends on what comic you're reading. Whatever comic, really.
SPEAKER_01:How much do you think comics go for nowadays, dude?
SPEAKER_03:Like five bucks.
SPEAKER_01:Really? Yeah. I would think they're more like valuable since they're close. You don't see too many comic stores, do you?
SPEAKER_03:Okay, so you're talking about like a comic that's like a like a just coming out for like next week's edition or whatever. Yeah, five bucks, like a brand new one. Yeah. I mean, that's what you're asking is just depending on what comic, depending on what year, depending on a whole bunch of things, bro. That's true, that's true. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, I mean, that's just uh yeah, because I think that's a that's like a uh like a whole different podcast on its own, buddy.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I I uh I was thinking about getting at least one comic book of Spider-Man. I feel like I need to have at least one comic book of uh Spider-Man.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. I mean, you have to be willing to drop some money and make and do your hit your research and know what it is you're buying in order to do that. True. But I mean my son bought me one.
SPEAKER_01:Really?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, he he bought me uh he bought me an edition. He's holding on to it for me right now.
SPEAKER_01:Superman edition?
SPEAKER_03:No, it was Spider-Man.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, Spider-Man.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but it was a two-parter and it's in the film and it's still in good condition. He bought it for like I think six, seven bucks or whatever, and I think it's worth like twenty right now. So not too shabby, though. Yeah, so it's you know, it but it's one of those like it's one of those ones that's like nobody wants. It's in it was in massive production, but I'm sure if you hold on to it long enough, it's gonna be worth some money. Especially if it's in good condition because nobody wants it.
SPEAKER_01:And that's one thing for sure is uh keeping things in good condition.
SPEAKER_03:Because it's just like a a two-parter on uh like the history of Spider-Man and the best of and all that stuff, and yeah. But it hasn't I barely opened it, took it out to uh just check it out a little bit and I put them back in. They haven't been out of the thing and they haven't been out for a while, and it's yeah, it's worth something, I know it is. Yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, well.
SPEAKER_03:What do you have to today? Tonight.
SPEAKER_01:You know, tonight, chilly weather. I'm not sure where our listeners are uh tuning in from. Hopefully it's somewhere next to you.
SPEAKER_03:The weather here's been you know.
SPEAKER_01:If we got some local listeners, they would understand. The weather's pretty chilly and the rondis weather. I just like to throw around a movie, maybe make some dinner. I'm a big fan of hot chocolate, not really a big fan of uh of uh coffee. Yeah, you know, so but I do need a bite of pot. So probably this weekend I'm hoping.
SPEAKER_03:I'm a fan of tea, that's what I drink all day.
SPEAKER_01:Green tea, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:All day long, all day strong, baby.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, tea is pretty good for your uh best thing. Yeah, yeah, I know something.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, besides what aside from water, it's yeah, the next best thing.
SPEAKER_01:Tea, bro. I wonder who discovered tea, like they just see this leaf and they're like, yo, you know what? I think I can make something out of this bad boy. Yeah, I don't know. But oh, dude, I'll tell you what though. Thank God. I'll tell you what though, these guys that hit you with that tea with that spirit of juice in there, or have you warm all day?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You'll be outside, it'll be middle of winter, you'll be out there looking warm, like you know? That's definitely one for sure. Definitely one for sure. But nothing, nothing really going on. It's a nice little Wednesday.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, you know. What you eating tonight? What's for dinner, man?
SPEAKER_01:For dinner, honestly. I gotta stop being lazy when I get home and actually start making dinner. But today I think I'm just gonna make torta sandwiches. Just get some ham and some chips and aguacate and put something together. And because cooking, bro, like some things are pretty fast to cook. It's just wait, a torta or a sandwich? No, a torta sandwich.
SPEAKER_03:So you're gonna get torta, you're gonna get tortas then.
SPEAKER_01:Bolillo bread, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Bolillos then, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Make some of that, you know. It's just those are good. Those feel like more of a snack than an actual meal, but probably do that.
SPEAKER_03:You right there, unless you want some of this, man. That's what I was that's what I was asking.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, probably I'll I'll definitely take a few tacos that we had that whole taco situation. Yeah, shut down the whole show.
SPEAKER_03:We had the taco difficulties here. We had taco difficulties here.
SPEAKER_01:Taco difficulties that don't shut down the show.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, dude. Oh, yeah, bro. I almost hooked out on that be on that shit, bro. But it was worth it, like I said. Hopefully it's uh it's a a story worth telling later on in the pod. Maybe maybe uh we'll keep you all posted.
SPEAKER_01:Well, you did get to see uh yeah, let's keep it at that.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, we already said it.
SPEAKER_01:So um, but no, you know, you know, I think we uh put it out there. I heard Trump is trying to build a 1.2 or whatever that is, million dollar banquet.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, something like that. That's something a$20 million banquet hall. Must be nice for the at the White House. Must be must be nice. He's already you already just started tearing shit down.
SPEAKER_01:You know, I uh I don't think I'll ever see 20 million in a lifetime. But I think I will. 20 million.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I hope so.
SPEAKER_03:Whether it's viewers or money, bro, it doesn't matter. I have a feeling it's gonna be both. More than more than that, really, but you know.
SPEAKER_01:I hope so.
SPEAKER_03:I don't mean to gloat.
SPEAKER_01:No, definitely not. But I mean when you work hard for something and you put in that work, it's it's always nice to be rewarded.
SPEAKER_00:Gip yup.
SPEAKER_01:You know, it's always nice to be appreciated, it's always nice to be rewarded.
SPEAKER_00:It's all about the attitude, man. It's all about the attitude you put out.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, definitely that. It's hard to keep a good attitude, I'll tell you what. But it definitely helps if you do keep a good attitude.
SPEAKER_02:It's hard to repent, period, dog.
SPEAKER_01:Oh, it's hot out here. You know, gator don't play that shit. Yeah.
SPEAKER_02:Hand me that that thing over there, that business over there. Thank you.
SPEAKER_03:But yeah, here we take care of business, we make sure everything's good, and spin on so in this podcast journey. Anything you uh notice, anything you have uh experienced, did you want to maybe let these people know if they're interested in starting a podcast or anything like that?
SPEAKER_01:I do want to say it gets a little bit easier to be on the mic and um and to find content because I know sometimes people will people will come to the mic and be like, oh my god, we need content, we need this, we need and it's good to have a a setup of all right, what are we gonna talk about? But sometimes it feels like it's a little bit it's a little bit more fun when you just kind of go wing it. Wing it. Yeah, you know, you you you start talking about things that you wouldn't necessarily probably thought about if you were coming to the table already adjusted to all right, this is what we're talking. I feel like that doesn't give you free free wiggle room to talk about other stuff that that might come up. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00:Right.
SPEAKER_01:So I I feel like it's up to the person, whatever they're which way they're going, if they want to keep it simple, whatever they're talking about, and all this. Right, if they want to keep it simple and whatever, like dude, it's you could do informational, you could do funny, you could do all types of things, and that's the beauty of it. Right, right. You know, and like we said here, it gets you away from that nine to five grind, it gets you off.
SPEAKER_03:We're just creating right, really. It's and which is really the basis of this whole thing, what what got this whole thing started, the foundation of this thing was to create content, right?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, so and and I would just say that. I would just say it does get a little bit easier. The mic right, right, as we as you come to the table. But the most I feel like the difficult, tedious part are the thumbnails, the computer words. The tedious part? Yeah, the tedious parts to me are the are the computer words.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, the thumbnails, the well, I mean that's where we were talking about uh I think we touched up on that earlier, right? Was the co-host AI thing? Yeah, the co-host that's what we were talking about, like the first five minutes of the show, if I remember correctly, right? It's cool how that kind of comes full circle. See, there's a good idea for a show, and you start off with the topic, might not have to talk about it the whole way around, just touch up on it and maybe follow it go into something else. But you just remember, whatever you just always come up with with an idea for a topic, just so you have an idea. Uh, if you don't have like co-host AI and you're you're typing in your own descriptions of the show, putting in that work, you know that you can always start off with touch up on a subject for like the first five minutes of the show, maybe dive delve into like some other stuff, some current events stuff, and then just come back to it like we just did right now because this was a full circle thing. Yeah, definitely. We we were talking about all that, and here we are just talking about it again.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, definitely. And I would also say don't don't be so tight, you know? Just loosen up, loosen up, right? Yeah, right are you doing it yourself or where you're doing it with somebody else, just have a good time, man. Yeah, right. You know, try not to stress it, try not to come to the table and be like everything has to be perfect. We are like we always say, raw and uncut, so sometimes we mess up. We have tackle difficulties, we have technical difficulties, technical difficulties, and there might be days where you're not feeling it, or you're coming, or you're feeling like you're gonna come to the table with nothing, but you'll surprise yourself, you'll be surprised that you know.
SPEAKER_03:I and there will be times too where like shit just gets you hit a dead, you hit a dead wall, you hit a uh a wall, or just things just kind of go up and get played out a little bit differently than we're expected. And or the homie gets a you have to you have to cut the the episode short, or the homie gets a booty call, you know. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, you know, you said that I didn't. I'm just saying. Emergency. Everybody gets one. Everybody gets one. Tell him, Peter. Tell him, Peter.
SPEAKER_01:So and and also I think, like I said, depending if you're doing it by yourself or if you're doing it with somebody, I feel like if you're doing it with somebody to come to a nice agreement, not pressuring each other, but like to come, hey, this is how we like to come to an agreement. What do you feel like doing? What do you feel like talking about? To play off each other's uh, you know, and uh definitely set a time of day.
SPEAKER_03:If you're gonna have a co-host, it's definitely good to have somebody like whatever it is you're trying to put across, it's definitely good to have people that fit that bill. I mean, our whole thing was like we were already hanging out. We we just recently met and uh we've been hanging out for like about two months, three months before we decided to do a podcast, two, three, four months, and uh five months or something like that. And and we like at some point we're sitting here doing our thing after work or during lunch. We just decided, hey, we're just when let's just fucking do a podcast and see what happens.
SPEAKER_01:So and uh big shout out to you for you know watching the videos and taking the I mean I know you come from a background of take of um radio and everything, yeah. So it was a little easier to get everything settled and down and and and it really Yeah, I mean I already had an idea of how to get set up and all that stuff, yeah. Right, and it really is discouraging, you know what I mean? If you're new to a pot or if you want to start one and you just don't know where to start and what kind of equipment you'll need. I mean, dude, we started off with what, like a fifty dollar equipment mic, fifty dollar mic and a little boombox.
SPEAKER_03:Actually, I thought it was from Timu, but I guess it was from uh I guess it was from Walmart that we got this thing from.
SPEAKER_01:Just just try, dude. Just make some things up, just have fun with it.
SPEAKER_03:And you can more than anything, have fun. I mean, because if you're not gonna have fun with it, dude, then there's no right.
SPEAKER_01:You don't want it to don't waste your money. You don't want it to start feeling like a boy. Yeah, yeah. You want it to start feeling like a like a job, or you don't want it to start feeling like it's gonna it's gonna be rough at the beginning. Oh, yeah, it's gonna be so much.
SPEAKER_03:And believe me, especially where when you when you see your views at first, you know, it is one of those things that you kind of have to push, you have to push through it. I mean, well, we started with like two or three. I mean, because that there was something we we told ourselves, like we're gonna do this, we need to be real, we need to be realistic and realize that like we both don't really have any sort of social, any sort of online presence. I know I don't.
SPEAKER_01:I don't, I'm not really an online guy, right?
SPEAKER_03:Right, exactly. And so we don't have any sort of online friends or anything, any sort of network. So we're just kind of throwing ourselves out there and we're just going through the motions of going through this in, I guess, the career sense, you know, where it's like, okay, now you got a podcast, now these are the steps to make it more successful, and that's what we're trying to bring to you guys is is our steps of what we're doing and our experience, exactly right, exactly right. Like I said, we are planning on having a co-host at some point. We're still trying to work those details out because she's in Colorado, so she's a home homegirl from way back in the day. Awesome person, she's an entertainer as well. She likes to do a whole bunch of you know, she's she's done like uh commercials and all that other stuff. We went through radio and TV together. So we've she's done stage work and uh stage acting and all that stuff too. So definitely just something I'm looking forward to. Uh, we might bring uh we might like bring her in slowly but surely, like maybe with some phone calls here and there. So bear with us through that stuff. Like uh that's another thing we want to uh kind of uh put keep putting out there is that this is D8 Studios, a D A Y studio. At what? At uh 8A Studios. Yep, yep. So yeah, yeah, right. And we are above a bar, so if you guys hear chatter and all that stuff in the background, that's what it is. We try to make things sound a little bit better in the editing and all that stuff. But you know, just bear with us as slowly but surely, as I'm sure if you've been listening from the get-go from the beginning, hoping that you notice that there's a difference in production and quality and it's gonna be getting better and better. But definitely can't stress enough. If you're gonna do a podcast, find a place that's pretty quiet, yeah, pretty fairly um, not too much noise going on. Right, right. But it all depends too. I mean, if you want that sound too, some people take it on the road.
SPEAKER_01:Exactly. I mean, we do have something uh coming up speaking about the road, but we don't want to get too uh right, right, right.
SPEAKER_03:That'll be coming up actually here before the end of the week for sure in the next episode or so or even before this one, who knows?
SPEAKER_01:And it's crazy, Max, because we do have a lot of content that we still haven't even gone through. Right, right. And and that's one thing I want to tell people is you know, if you're gonna if you're gonna pay for something, make sure you pace yourself and make sure you know.
SPEAKER_03:And so this is where we're gonna start kind of going on to the Patreon if we can. If not, we might start putting some of this stuff up on the on the BuzzCast, which is part of a Buzz Sprout. It's almost it's it's exact same thing as uh Patreon, but they kind of help you out a little bit more where you're throwing out your regular free content, and then you can maybe throw on some paywall content up there too. Um, which is you know, for us, it this will be our first this uh sub challenge will be our first video where you get to uh put uh I really want to get to that voice to uh faces.
SPEAKER_01:So uh little bit nervous about that one. You know, I'm not really big on the show.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I think we did a good job though. Honestly, I and we'll have time to improve. I honestly I believe that like the one we watched two, three years from now, uh in in progress from like the you know, the one we did three years today, yeah, it's gonna be a big difference. I believe that for sure. I I uh I believe that this is a cool thing that we both are benefiting from. It's both helping us out in the sense that it's helping us grow grow a little bit better and get out of our comfort zone. Yeah, get out of our comfort zones and step up and be a little bit more open-minded and get over some bullshit. Definitely.
SPEAKER_01:It definitely and that definitely helps if um you have you know, like I said, and most people do it by themselves, it it still keeps you distracted. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:And you know, we still might do stuff on our own. I I like I said, I got I'm planning on doing some review stuff. I got uh that auto face uh that auto tracking face tripod or whatever that I might be doing some unboxing and reviewing on, so that might be a part of this whole channel too. And I and I it might not be a part of the same podcast, right? I don't know yet. I haven't decided yet.
SPEAKER_01:I hear you. Oh, definitely. You know, I haven't.
SPEAKER_03:I don't know if you want to help me out with that or whatever's clever, you know.
SPEAKER_01:I'm always going to be able to do that.
SPEAKER_03:No, I don't the shakedown name or whatever.
SPEAKER_01:I don't mind at all. You know how it is here.
SPEAKER_03:Way to get us some some viewers and all that stuff. Maybe maybe that'll um encourage you to come out here and do some stuff other than radio or podcast co-hosting and maybe do some voiceover work and all that other stuff.
SPEAKER_01:You know, God willing, and hopefully, you know, hopefully we see if God lets us keep continuing doing what we do. Well, because you know, life's life's a trip, but I didn't think I feel confident. I feel confident and uh Yeah, I'm gonna keep going no matter what, brother. You know, I mean do I not show up? Yeah, no, I'm not saying anything.
SPEAKER_03:I'm just like you know, I appreciate you showing up and all that stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Um but I get it, I get it. You know, half the time in uh in life is just showing up, bro.
SPEAKER_03:To anything to more than more than times than honestly, it almost seems like that's like 90% of everything nowadays, yeah. Showing up.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, sometimes it sucks because some places you don't want to show up.
SPEAKER_03:But believe me, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You know, but I learned too as um Believe me. I live across the street from the place I really don't want to be showing up to most days, but I still until we hit that mic, until we hit that 500 downloads, or you know, like we always say though, I really do appreciate the people who take the time to listen. I really hope you guys do enjoy the show. Like we say, if you want any, if you want to leave a comment and hey, maybe want want to hear us talk about something or want to just leave us Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_03:The the comment uh the comments are open now. Yeah, you want to leave us some hate mail, talk about how to tell us how much we suck and all that. We really appreciate it. I mean, you know, I know we're gonna be. We won't read it, but you know, at least at least it'll be there. Right, you know, I mean for you guys to be like, oh yeah, I remember like three years ago and these guys were starting out, I told them they suck, but now I run them into it, not run into them in the streets, and I'm the biggest fan. And no, they're making that ass wipe money and all that bullshit. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Hey man, you know, it's all but we all no matter what, man. We always try to.
SPEAKER_03:Another over there broadcasting out of fucking Texas part of the mother, part of the mothership.

There's no reason for us to be, you know, yeah, you know, we we I got respect for all those guys, no matter what. Right, right, right. Be they previous or part of or all that shit, but it doesn't matter to me. A comedian is a comedian. Whatever, you know. If you're funny, you're funny. I don't give a fuck. Right, straight up. Yeah, you're free. There's no need to be uproot, you know, you know, packing up and root, you know, saying you're root somewhere else. Oh, definitely. Yeah, exactly. I know that's one of the main reasons why I decided to do what I'm doing is because I figure I'm out here in Chicago, which is a main is a decent outlet to get your stuff out there. You'll you'll find stories. Be music or whatever. You'll find sound. I'm not I'm not trying to be the next R. Kelly, but you know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:Definitely not. Definitely not. You don't want to be pissing out people now. Yeah.
SPEAKER_03:Well, yeah. That part. Yeah. That part. Some people could get pissed. That part, yeah. But the other shit, uh, I mean, maybe uh it's maybe not, you know, the the age of the person, yeah, maybe a little bit older. Right. Consensual and all that shit. You know, yeah. None of this, you know, in the closet bullshit. Which makes which explains why he was he wrote like fucking ten albums of being in the closet, because I mean, when you got people locked up in the closet for that amount of time, they're gonna tell you some stories.
SPEAKER_01:Crazy stuff, dude. Crazy stuff. And and you know, we could talk about it all day, but it's been uh Yeah, we certainly could.
SPEAKER_03:We got we got uh it's it we are 52 minutes right now, man. You wanna anything else you might want to plug in? I mean, what's another nine minutes, right? Another eight minutes?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, I'll get to that hour. It's been a it's been a it's been a journey, it's been an experience for sure.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:I never thought I'd be doing a podcast, I never thought I'd be doing a show. But you know, the light throws you for a curveball, so you can plan for something.
SPEAKER_03:You can plan for something, or you can you can uh take the opportunities that come up that that come that come to you, bro.
SPEAKER_01:And I know sometimes it's gonna suck because uh I know I mean I mean this I know this ain't nothing.
SPEAKER_03:I mean, this is nothing. This is not fair. This we don't have sponsors, we're not getting paid. We're putting in we're putting in that work right now.
SPEAKER_01:For the love of the game.
SPEAKER_03:So that's like I said, you know, it's like you said you're amazed, but at the same time, it's like you put in the work, so don't be too amazed, you know. True, true, you know, and it's it's like I said, if if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for you saying, or for me being like, all right, well then let's fucking do this and putting, you know, investing in all in all this other stuff, not to be like, oh you owe me something. No, I'm just saying I was already planning on getting all this stuff, but what better way to put it to work to use than to do a podcast? Might as well.
SPEAKER_01:It's just it's just it's a feeling, you know, because uh hearing yourself on uh on a platform.
SPEAKER_03:See, it's hard, man. Believe me, I know. And be even being a musician having recorded stuff before, it's it's still something that you almost don't want to listen to your own stuff. I can't get over it. Yeah, no, no, I can't, but you have to, you have to, don't get me wrong, you have to. You I call bullshit on any artist that's like, oh, don't listen to my own shit. Come on, bro. You have to listen to your own stuff, whether you like it or not. To edit it, bro. So you're telling me that when you were editing that, you usually it was just one take? Get the fuck out of here, bro.
SPEAKER_01:Hey, maybe he had a comfy chair, fuck out of here. Maybe he had some comfy headsets.
SPEAKER_03:Unless you were D'Angelo or something, rest in peace. Fuck out of here.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no. I mean, this this usually, I mean, they see how we do. We take one one take and we kind of do editing. Sometimes we just let it ride, or but most of the time we're editing.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, but we're not making music. True, true. True.

SPEAKER_03:No, because even Prince spent Prince lived in the studio, man. Yeah, Prince lived in the studio.
unknown:Really?
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, yeah. Like literally, even when uh I mean he he had his own little studio because he was doing DIY stuff, but even when he was signed on to uh a major label, he would do that thing where he would rent out a studio and move a bed in there. That was his whole thing.
SPEAKER_01:I mean, if you're paying for it, right? Might as well use every minute.
SPEAKER_03:Well, he's not paying, the studio's paying for it, or the the company's paying for it, or whatever the the label's paying for it.
SPEAKER_01:Right.
SPEAKER_03:But I mean they're paying for whatever you need to get it to make it get it done. He's almost sleeping here. Yep. Well, that was a part of his regimen. Get up, hydrate, exercise, make sure your air your whole area clean, clean your whole area's clean, clean area, clean body, clean soul. And then just get to it. Yeah. Yo, yeah, yeah. Record and just fucking just definitely helps if you keep record, keep your recording all 24 fucking ten hours a day or however you're long in the studio for. Something's gotta happen. But but like he would put in uh the from wake up to whatever, putting that time. If he was stuck on something, he'd fall asleep, get up, and work it out, and and then a couple days later, later on in the week or the weekends, he'd go party.
SPEAKER_01:Nice. You know, you gotta play, you gotta work hard.

SPEAKER_01:Just to take a look at it, like like uh down the road.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, I mean, I have a I have a copy of that, it's saved up anyway.
SPEAKER_01:No, but I definitely're digging the new thumbnail and I'm hoping the new people and I'm hoping um the listeners dig it too. It's uh it's a little bit different, definitely. And it's just the whole thing of like we talked about just re-ramping and not not going too far from our original. Re ramping and revamping, baby. Yeah, yeah, but not the but keeping the original, you know, keeping our our roots and everything. Yeah, of course. I mean, yeah, yeah, keeping the roots, but it's okay to change things up a little bit.
SPEAKER_03:Yeah, right. Or or you know, it you even if you want to do different subjects, you know, at different times, whatever, you'll find your you'll find your way. Oh, definitely. Or or if you want to just stick to one till you get it, till you beat it to a pulp and then move on to something else. Yeah, always that's whatever you want to do, you know. That's it, just keep creating. That's what this is all about, right? Is keep improving, keep pre cre and you're only gonna be able to improve by keeping on, keeping on, you know what I'm saying?

You know, you you learn your strong points, your weakness, and what you think you might need to work on. Not I'm just saying in general. You know, I know sometimes I feel like I could uh you know do a little bit more research on the things we talk about. That's a little bit of my you know I like to give credit where credit's due. And uh, you know, we are we we do try to um give facts here and promote a healthy you know, healthy mindset, it's a very good idea.
