Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Best Bits of the Week with Morgan. Part one.
I hang a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What's Up Everybody? Mike D joins me this weekend. What's
up Mike D?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It was going on.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh, I'm so excited because you and I just got
back well you know, not technically when we're recording this,
but you and I both did the post Malone bar opening. Yeah,
and I need all of your reviews, thoughts, everything, because
this is your guy.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
First of all, I don't go out on week days.
It's like this is out of characteristic for me. It's
a school night, it's like middle of the week. I
also don't really go to downtown that often.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh yeah, listen, Downtown is brutal in general now, especially
when you are sober.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
And when I saw it come down, I was like,
if I don't go to this, how lame am I
going to be? Because I couldn't. I just couldn't comprehend
if this opportunity came to me like five years ago,
and I'd be like, I'd be there no matter what. Yeah,
but it was just like, man, I got to go
down there and go with the crowds type of thing.
But it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
But at least you did have a little bit of
VIP action. Yeah, so not complete chilling with the public.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh yeah, you still were Yeah, you still had to
get down there. It was still really crowd. That was
the thing I knew going into it. I was like,
even though like we're going to have a different access
to it, you still can't get around that crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, no, And I'm pretty sure the crowd was
happening on Broadway since the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, because we got there early and it was still
like it was already like, oh man, this is gonna
be nuts, because you think because at first I thought
it was going to be like a normal chill thing.
I didn't even know like people were going to know
about it. I thought it was going to be like,
here's this event in his bar, He's going to show
up and dow this thing. I didn't say anything, And
then when I saw him post about it, I was like, oh,
this totally changes everything.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, because he also beyond the fact that he was
going to be there performing on Broadway, he also was
like from nine pm until two am, I'm covering the tab. Yeah,
so that brings out a whole new level of crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It just opened it up to everybody. And if you
see that, even if you're not a post Philones band,
you're gonna be like, I'm gonna go downtown, try to
get some free drink.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Right. Free drink's on Broadway two, which, mind you, a
drink on Broadway costs anywhere from sixteen to twenty three
dollars for one drink.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So that's a big deal to cover that tab. But
what are your thoughts on his bar?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I think it's pretty cool, like seeing all this stuff
all around his like wax figure is there. I like
the bar, and I don't like Broadway bars. This is
probably the only second one that I've gone to a
thing like this. I went to the Dirks one. Okay,
I like Dirks, and that was still like before everybody
had one, so it was a little more novel at
that time, and I'd say, of course this is my
(02:41):
favorite one. Naturally, Well I go back. I don't know, Yeah,
I just can't. It's hard to go to places when
you don't drink. Yeah, and I had a liquid death,
so it kind of felt like I was drinking something.
But aside from that, like I don't know what to
do at bars.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's fair. Listen, Mike, I've been I've only been completely
sober for about a month and a half now, and yeah,
I don't know what to do with my hands when
I go in places.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Because I don't understand how people go there to socialize
with friends if you can't hear each other. And it's
weird because some people are really good at it that
you can talk and they like understand things, and I
don't know if they have ears trained because they do
that so much. But that is the hardest part for me,
is like, how do you even talk to somebody if
you're screaming the whole time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's true, it is a talent, and it's one that's
honestly an exhausting talent because when you do it, your
ear drums do get very exhaustive because you're like intently.
It's like you have to turn on another notch on
your ear drum to be like, hey, we gotta really
zone in and pay attention, or like you're just really
good at speaking at a normal like it's kind of weird.
It's kind of messes with your brain because people speak normally,
(03:51):
but they speak into your ear, so then it's easier
to hear, but that's a talent, yeah, to be able
to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I do not have that talent.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And it's very loud. It's very loud in there in
any downtown bar, it's loud in general on Broadway. So
won't be going.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Back, yeah, because that's not even like me getting older,
thing like I never went to bars even when I
was partying in my teenage, underage and twenty year old,
Like that just wasn't a thing for me, just because
I think that environment for me isn't comfortable when it
comes to like when I wanted to drink, I didn't
want I didn't feel the need to be around a
(04:27):
lot of people at a bar. I was more of
a go to like a house party type drinker or
just with friends.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that's you have
bar drinkers, you have house party drinkers. I'm just happened
to normally be one of both. Not lately though, so
I do know. And I also felt a side of
your pain because I couldn't eat anything, and normally when
I'm not drinking, the other thing that I do is eat,
So like if there's food, I'm like I can pay
attention to food and that's what I can carry around
(04:55):
and socialize, but I couldn't have any of it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah any event, I just they were like, we're gonna
have food. I'm like, I'm just not gonna be able
to eat any of that food and granity. Yeah, it
was all like chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I was chicken. And I was really sad because
they had deep fried oreos and deep fried doughnut holes
and I really wanted to eat those that I couldn't,
So it was sad. And at one point, because they
had all these nice waitresses walking around with food, and
there was at one point where some walked by with materarellistics,
which is my kryptonite, and I literally looked and I
(05:26):
just flicked at my voice when I just was pounded.
I was like, that is the most depressing thing that's
ever happened. And it was like shoving it in my
face and I tried to get him to eat it
for me, and he was like, no, I'm not going
to eat your favorite thing in front of you. That
would you mean the.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Only thing I was tempted by, even though I don't drink,
was the blood light, just because it felt like very posted.
I want to post Malone bar opening, they're handing out
free bud light. I was like, that kind of feels
right well, And don't you.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Have the bud light can from when he probed you?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I still have it. I'm trying to get it signed eventually,
but I still have it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, it's hard and he probably didn't bring it with
you last.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And I saw him briefly before he performed, like walking
out of the bar, and I was like, what am
I to do? Like aer signs can?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Did you try and go see him perform?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Did you make it?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah? I made it?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, I didn't you did it? So tell me what
it was like.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I like the country era, but I'm a little bit
like ready for him to moose past it. But I
don't think he is, because I feel like he is
the most comfortable now. Seeing him bring out like Dirks
and Brooks and Dunn, I feel like this is almost
what he wanted to do the entire time, because country
is something that's been like a part of him forever,
(06:41):
Like he's known these songs since he was back doing
his first album. And seeing him on stage performing nineties
country covers and bringing out these artists, I feel like
he is the most comfortable now, and as a longtime fan,
I like it, But I want him to do one
other country album and then to move on because he's
shipped genres like here and there, like started out wrap
(07:04):
hip hop did like a rock album did, almost like
an indie album would really pop for a minute. And
now he's been country for a while now. I just
kind of want him to go either back to doing
hip hop or trying something else.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
What else do you well, Okay, I have multiple questions here.
First of all, do you think maybe he's here to
stay and he may just stay in this genre?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
After last night, I think he is going to stay.
I feel like this is where his foundation is going
to be now, especially having a bar on Broadway, it
kind of cements you into that culture. I think the
relationships he has formed here, not only with artists but
with songwriters, it's starting to become a part of his
DNA or I couldn't see him just leaving that part
of him behind.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, kind of like it's intertwined, like he may try
other genres, but this will always be part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The thing I could see him kind of doing is
kind of like the hearty route of like going back
into the harder rock stuff. Plust Moloni is a big,
like metal heavy, hard rock fan, so I could see
him kind of walk that line of like, hey, I
put out a couple of country albums. This is kind
of the next step in progression where those two genres
(08:15):
kind of go together, like the audience wise, like if
you went to a festival, there was kind of like
an in between band you could get away with that. Yeah,
I could see him kind of evolving into that, even
though he's kind of done a rock record already.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, I see it, but definitely a bummer for all
of those who who are And my boyfriend's kind of
with you. He loves the hip hop rap side of him.
That's like the stuff that he's really gravitated towards and
some of the pop because that was also influenced with that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, in the same kind of lanes still had the
same sound. Yes, so he loved that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
He was like when we because we did try and
make it, but the performance was free on Broadway, and
if there's anything free on Broadway, you know, there's just
a lot. And since I was dead's over, I couldn't
handle it. My boyfriend's fine. He had two drinks in him.
So he's like, I'm okay, you know, and shove into me.
And I was like, I'm not somebody shoves into me
one more time, I'm gonna throw a punch. It's not
gonna go.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I did kind of feel like stuck for a second
when we couldn't even get out on the Broadway. Yeah,
it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And that's and that was why when we tried like
two different avenues and I was like, Okay, let's go home.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I like him a lot, but it's not worth this
for me. But he was like, it's okay, He's not
going to perform the songs that I wanted to hear anyway,
And it was true.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, And this is me even saying this as him
being in country is probably the best for me because
that means he would be around more. I've seen him
more in the last year that I've seen him the
entire time I've been a fan. I've seen him like
four times in the last year now. Yeah, because he's
here more, he's at more events. It is probably in
(09:45):
my best interest that he stays in country because he
would be around more. And I'm saying that that I
would still rather him kind of go back and do
something different.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, but that's also you outside perspective as a fan
of just his music. Like you like him as a person,
you're his number one fan, but you also are his
number one fan because of his music, and if you're
over this genre of it, that's a huge art of
where that lies.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And I didn't realize it until I go back and
listen to his music, and it is not an album
that I like gravitate towards wanting to listen to on repeat.
If I'm going back to listen to post Alone, I'm
going back to like Stoney, I'm going back to, like
the first two albums. This one I just don't revisit
as much, even though when it came out I listen
to it every day for like three weeks straight. Now
(10:34):
I just find myself going back to it the least
out of all of his albums.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But correct me if I'm wrong. Country also isn't one
of your top genres normally normally? No, Yeah, like you
more gravitate. What would you say your top three genres
are that you genuinely as a person listened to outside
of work.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I would say sad music is a genre I'd say
probably like like singer songwriter Indie is probably I go
to Okay. Second is probably punk rock, just because I
think where I listened to my most music is probably running. Yeah,
Like it's hard to find upbeat stuff, so I think
(11:10):
if you just pulled like my music stats, that kind
of dominates just for how much Yell is into that
while I run. And then third is probably Mexican music,
anything in Spanish, it's probably third.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. So see it's not even one of your tops,
So that would make sense too. Why you're not gravitating,
you're also not doing the activities. I feel like that,
like for country music whenever even working in and I
grew up, I was raised on country music. I now
really listen to country music. If I'm outside vibeing summertime
and there's like a good vibe going on, I'm maybe
(11:45):
going to day drink or something like that, or I'm
going to a boat or a lake or out on
the beach. Those are my country vibes. But when I'm
going to get ready to go out, when I'm working out,
when i'm doing most of the time, it's pop music.
It's you know, like a kind of like you're talking
about the pop rock type stuff or like even a
little bit of hip hop too. I only gravitate towards
(12:06):
country music and very specific incidents now as an adult.
Before it was my everything because it's all my parents
listen to. But like as if somebody who makes a
choice country music, there's very great instances to listen to it.
But it's not a genre that I feel like, I'm
I'm gonna go to the bar and I'm gonna be
like out and people are gonna be grinding into country music, right. Yeah,
(12:27):
it's only if you go to a country bar, or
if I'm gonna go work out really hard, do like
a CrossFit workout, country music is probably not gonna be
the thing that's can get me going, you know what
I mean. So it is one of those genres that
feels a little bit more specific depending on your vibe. Now,
if I'm on a road trip, country music is the vibe.
It's all based on scenarios.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, every time I went to my Orthodonis, they always
had on country.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it's the office listening music.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It is very crowd pleasing music, yes, And I think
that's also why I listened to it a lot growing
up because it was always just on the radio, like
if I was driving, like with my parents or my cousins.
I just that is what I associate country music with,
Like they just was just always on the radio.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
See exactly. So to your credit, I think that has
a lot to do with it too. Before we take
a break, is there anything else thoughts about post molum posts,
is the bar name? Any other thoughts of the whole night?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I just think he's still like a genuinely nice person.
Like everything he does, I feel he does it from
like a good place in his heart, even like picking
up the tab like that is something that like no
other artist really does, even just throwing a free concert
on and playing just a bunch of songs that he
finds joy in. But also I think people enjoy going
to watch that stuff. I just think him as a
(13:43):
person is kind of like his brand, like him just
being a good dude and just having fun, Like he'll
be in town going to random places for no reason
and then just saying hi and hanging out with people
I just heard. He's like still the most genuine dude.
As more famous as he's gotten, I feel like that's
kind of been the constant. So that just makes me like,
(14:04):
all right, I pick the right guy to be a
fan of.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's really true. I don't And all the conversations I've
ever had with anybody in the industry or fans in general,
there's not been a single person who's had a bad
interaction with post Malone. So that's a huge credit to
his character, right, I mean that's people who work with him,
people who just know him as a fan, all just
across the board, and our interaction with him was awesome.
(14:27):
Like everything that I've ever known about him is he's
just a really nice guy, and he's super chill, like
genuinely as chill as you think. Maybe add that times ten. Yeah,
he's just so chill. That would be the best description
of him. So you did choose a good fan. Yeah,
post Malone and Spider Man two get two good choices.
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
(14:49):
So we've made it to fall. Hard to believe it's
already October. What is on your agenda or any big
plans for the last few months of the year, anything
you're hoping to accomplish. What's going on in your life
right now?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I think I am at a place now where I
just want to live in the moment a little bit more.
And I think fall kind of inspires that for me
because it feels like things start to slow down a
little bit. And I think as soon as like the
weather changes and I'm able just to not feel like
I have to rush to do things all the time,
I'm like, all right, this is kind of the time
(15:21):
to reevaluate what I'm doing in life here.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, Fall very much gives those vibes. It's like everybody
starts winding down, the holidays are coming.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I always feel like fall is when life starts for me,
Like that is when I always just associate like, this
is when the best part of being a human comes out.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Interesting, Okay, give me more.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Because when I guess, I associate summer and like the
end of summer with like going back to school, and
I always hated that. But whenever Fall hit, I was like, Okay,
here's where the fun part comes. Like, here's where you're
starting to hang out with like friends and family, go
and doing things, doing fun things. On the weekend, you
have the holidays obviously coming up, and that just kind
of feels like the most special part of the year.
(16:03):
So that is where I feel like the most life
happens is right there at the end. People also start
just being a little bit happier as we get closer
to the end of the year and closer to the holidays,
where I just feel like that's the moment I want
to exist in them. Out of the entire year, that
feels like the most. That feels like the time I
wait for the entire year. It's weird because at the
(16:24):
beginning of the year, I'm always like, oh, life hasn't
started yet, Like we're still like in the first month,
we're still in February, We're still in smart Like life
hasn't started yet. Oh it's summer, it's not. And but
once the fall hits, I'm like, Okay, now it's time
to live life.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So you're saying for like three months of the year, you're.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Registered the year until now.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hey, I don't necessarily disagree with you, because for me,
this is my favorite time of year. I love fall,
and I love the winter, I love the holidays. It's
genuinely my favorite time year. So I don't disagree, But
it is funny that you're saying, yours doesn't start until here,
So like nine ten months, those first.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Like three months or nothing, because I feel like everybody's
still figuring things out. We live in like New Year's
for like a month and a half until February, and
then nobody likes spring, Summer, everything gets all like thrown
all over the place. It's not until right now where
I feel like we're all together, living life at the
same time, doing the same things pretty much. Once we
(17:18):
all start watching football and all those things come back,
that is when I feel life starts.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I love the perspective. I love it, and again don't
necessarily disagree with you. It's my favorite time of the year.
There's a lot happening, but it is funny because I
see it more as my slow down. This is where
I start to like really try and focus on stuff
that I want to do, relax, stop like socialized. Because
summer and spring just bring out all the people wanting
to do all the things. Because it's nice outside. People
(17:46):
get excited, especially coming off of winter. They really want
to be outside, they really want to be doing activities,
and so then it feels like fall hits. I'm like, okay,
I can breathe. Nobody wants to do anything. I just
want to hang out and I just want to like
paint my pumpkins or car pumpkins and do the fall
activities and then do all the Christmas activities. Yes thanks
Thanksgiving activities too, But like listen November first hits. Your
(18:08):
girl is Mariah carry all the way until February basically,
So I do get it. I do get the perspective.
That's funny and it's I mean coming up to like
this weekend, as this podcast is technically airing, my boyfriend
planned a birthday trip for me. That is us doing
absolutely nothing, going to a place where I can relax
(18:28):
and genuinely turn my brains.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The last time you've done that trip where you don't
do anything because you always go all out?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I know, I don't think I've done this in years,
maybe over a decade. Honestly, how is that for you?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Not having an itinerary? Because I know you love like
blocking out days, restaurants are going to eat at, ask
you for recommendations. Now I feel like you're taking a
me type trip, So how does that affect you?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It feels a little weird because he still hasn't told
me the full scope of where we're going, what we're doing.
But he was like, there's no schedule. We don't have
a schedule. We you know, bring all your comfy clothes.
Your gonna love it, I promise. And I'm like, I'm
sitting there and my skin's kind of itching a little
bit where I'm like, but but there's no schedule, there's
no like plan, and like I get anxious of like, okay,
(19:09):
do I need to do that? And he's like, just stop,
We're gonna go. Like, you need time for you. You
always have things to do and stuff to do for
you know, whether it's the animals or other people. Like,
for once, I need you to just turn off your
brain and come and relax and enjoy some time just
us and hanging out. And so I'm my brain's finally
starting to rap around it. At first it was like
(19:31):
a ah, what are you doing? And now it's like
we're I'm probably at like eighty percent right now, so
hopefully by the time we actually leave for that trip,
it'll be out one hundred. Yeah. Yeah, I am excited
for it. This is where this is the era of
life that I'm in right now. We've kind of talked
about a little bit where I'm going through the whole
detox cleans and really trying to like just get healthy
(19:54):
and focus on on me, which is not something I'm
very good at a lot, and this is the perfect
time for that to be happening, because it's only reiterating
what I need to do to take care of myself.
It's just hard. It's just something I'm not used to at.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah. I think this is also that I've kind of
entered that too, of like taking a little bit more
time just to take care of myself in general, of
like not just like physically, but also mentally. And it
feels weird to do.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, it feels very selfish and it feels very not productive.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yes, Okay, know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, And I know that's neither one of those things,
but that's exactly how I feel where I'm like, I
could be doing X, Y and Z right now. And also, well,
you know, whether it's my dog needs me or well,
my friends need me to be here. I need to
show up here. I need to do this for you.
And he's like, no, nobody, you have nothing to do
for thirty six hours. There's zero plans, So we'll see
(20:55):
how my brain actually does in it. We're gonna bring
games and stuff which I think will help my I'm
an activity.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You're describing, like my perfect trip right now that is
like we take games, we don't do anything. There's no plans.
If we encounter something that we're like, oh we should
go do that, you just kind of throw it in
the mix. But you don't go with anything. You don't
look at recommendations because for me, like I know some
people like you love having people like tell you things
(21:23):
to go check out. I am the opposite of that.
I don't want to know anything. I want to discover
things on my own. I want to just walk down
the street and be like, here's a coffee shop lititzef
it's any good. I don't care if it's the best
in the city or not. I don't care if their
cofee is terrible. I just want to discover a new
city by going into places and finding out on my
own first hand. Because I think for me, like a
(21:45):
trip is supposed to be like an escape, and if
I have all these things like strategically planned, and then
everything just goes according to plan, it doesn't feel It
just feels like, Okay, I went here, I did the things,
and it just felt like an assignment. I like I
like to go free range chicken and just go discover
things on my own. That's also why I love going
and like running in a new city and seeing things
(22:06):
along the way. I think that's the best way to
take in a city. And then if I see something cool,
I go back and I investigate.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, what happens if you're not a runner, Mike, on
a run, just.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Drive around a city or walk around.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'm glad that you referred to as a free rained chicken.
That will be me this weekon. I'll get a taste
of what you do, and I think it will be
so fun and I think I will love it. But
it is it's definitely out of character for me. But
it's a character I need to enter into.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I think there can be both. Like I think you
take some trips where you there are some I feel
like destinations that require an itinerary. If we're going to
Disney World, any kind of in an itinerary.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
If you're going to yeah, if you free raine chicken,
that one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Even if you're going to like a big city, sometimes
you kind of need to know, like, Okay, if we
want to go to an event, you kind of have
to lay that out. But if you're going on a
trip that's just relaxed mode, don't have the plan.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Are you good at relaxing, because this is where my
problem is is I'm not good at relaxing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I'm terrible at relaxing.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But see, you can do this when you go to
a city. This is why I need things, because relaxing
to meet and you know, credit to all the people
who have told me a million times that I am
not good at that for a reason, Like there's stuff
happening to my body, and I feel like there's something
happening of why I can't relax, but I physically can't.
If I sit down for fifteen minutes, Mike, I'm like, Okay, well,
(23:22):
I got eighty different things.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I need to I think there are different ways to relax.
I am not good at relaxing in the traditional sense
of if I go to a beach and just lay
there and read a book, I can't do that. I
can't focus.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I hate that. I hate that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I feel like I'm just looking at the clock the
whole time, like how much time is as fast as
we can we go back somewhere else yet now. But
I think I've learned how to relax in other ways,
or I'm doing something, but I'm also not thinking about
the things that are keeping me from relaxing. Okay, like
when we're in New York, I found that trip relaxing
(23:55):
even though we were walking around the entire time, because
that just at walking allowed my brain to relax because
I can only focus on where we're going right now,
where we're going to go eat, what we're going to
go see, and it's just all like one constant motion
pushing you along. And I feel like that's like almost
relaxing in motion, where you're doing something but you're completely
(24:19):
out of your normal routine, giving your brain.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
An activity but not an activity of the normal sense.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, it's kind of like if somebody relaxes by sitting
on the couch, but they need something to do with
their hands, so they start knitting. I feel like if
you're knitting, you're still like creating something, but you're kind
of relaxing. It's like a it's a relaxing activity. Maybe
you do because I think it's something with your brain
where you need to be doing something, but you could
(24:46):
still be doing something that's kind of relaxing. Adult coloring
books I've kind of gotten into those a little bit
where kin like that where you're still doing something but
it's something relaxing and not too physically demanding. Okay, So
I think there's a difference, like if you like for me,
like running is kind of a form relaxation, but it's
not really a form relaxation, but your body's very stressed
but very stress during that. But if you find something
(25:07):
that's like a low energy activity that's still using your brain,
it's relaxing. Because I think the way I was taught,
like what relaxing is, it's like doing nothing and sitting
at the beach, hanging out in a pool. I don't
find those relaxing. But if I'm actually doing something, I
feel like that's relaxing to me.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, you may have got me on a new era.
I might be knitting and coloring moving forward because I
need that. I have to be in this little we
make fun of it and call it my little hot pocket.
I have to be in asno mat for twenty five
minutes a day. And when I first started doing this,
I was not well. It would hit like ten minutes
and I kept because I'd yell at Alexa like start
(25:46):
a timer, and I had every two minutes, be like, Alexa,
how much time left? Alexa, how much time left? And
She's like, girlfriends, you got a whole lot left, and
I'm gonna need you to chill out. And now I'm
at least at the point where I make it before
I ask here, I make it to about twenty one minutes.
We are improving slow scale. So now I'm gonna look
up knitting and coloring to see if I can also
(26:07):
continue the direction of So thank you for that. All right,
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back with
some fun random questions.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
So I just have some kind of random things that
have happened in my life lately. Summer movie related, okay,
and summer just all over the place. So good soundtrack
that you remember. I'll officially review this movie if we
do Tuesday Reviews day next week. But I watched K
Pop Demon Hunters and mighty, this is the best animated
movie I've seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It is. Yeah, I would agree, it's so good. Just
the actual art in that movie is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, Like, And I don't know why I've never been
an anime person. I know you like anime. I've never
been big into anime stuff, so I don't know really
what I anticipated, but I after about ten minutes and
I was like, oh, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
In That movie is infectious. You start watching it in
your life, Where does this going?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I immediately love this.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Exactly, And you know, I think part of it was
because the soundtrack is so good.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It is the only soundtrack that I've actively seeked out
this year so far. Same usually there's like one movie
a year that makes me go like, I gotta go
check out that soundtrack. This has been the one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Okay, so this is it? Similar to how I felt
when I think it was Spider Man Across the Spider Verse.
That soundtrack intrigued me. It's interesting that both of them
are animated. Those are the only two that I really
can remember in just recent years in general. But this
one K Pop Demon Hunters, I was like, holy crap.
Even my boyfriend, who I was like, I don't know
(27:35):
if he's gonna like this one. He I found out
he used to watch a lot of anime, so he
was obsessed. He loved it, and both of us looked
at each other, was like, this is one of the
best movies we've seen recently. And the soundtrack is one
of the best we've heard.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, it's really good, so.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Good, Okay, So maybe and maybe that's your answer. I
was gonna ask you, what's like the last good movie
soundtrack that you remember?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That is the first one from this year? Man, My
other one's really niche, but it's like one that I
last year. It became one of my most listened to
albums of like the entire year.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It was a smaller independent movie called I Saw the
TV Glow okay, and all of the music was like sad,
depressing indie music. And I listened to that soundtrack probably
for two weeks straight after seeing that movie. And I
didn't even love the movie, but I just loved the
soundtrack and it was a lot of the artists that
I like that it was an album that I would
(28:28):
just put on listen to from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Did it even make you think about the movie or
were you just kind of at that point listening to songs?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
No, because I honestly loved the soundtrack more than I
did the movie, so much so that I was like,
I gotta go back and watch that movie to see
if I feel different about it. And it was weird
seeing all the songs again because I was like, oh,
I don't even remember remember them in the movie, but
now that I've listened to them so much, I have
all these weirdest memories associated with them that I was like,
(28:55):
Oh man, I like the soundtrack way more. I wouldn't
even recommend the movie, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That's funny, but the soundtrack was that good. It's a
crazy how much I think they call it a score
can impact something.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I think slightly different. If we're getting into terms, score
is just the instrumentation.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Got it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes, score is like all like if somebody scores a movie,
it's just like the instrumentation underneath it. The soundtrack is
like actual songs.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Okay, so it is actually called the soundtrack. I really
thought they were all scores. But that's also because I
think the Awards show they always do they say soundtrack
or do they score?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I think there are words for different ones, okay, yeah,
because they do like Best Original Song, and then they'll
do like best Score.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And the score is there's instrumental, instrumental.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Why don't they just say instrumental.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Because it's like a score orchestra and you make the
score to a movie.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh yeah, that's true. But okay, well that's a good one.
The other one I thought of is I mean k
pop takes it, which also I did see Hunterricks, which
is the K pop group that was obviously the demon
start part is not true, but like the Hunters group,
is what inspired this or they were they based it
off of them? Do you know the details behind?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I thought they created that group just for the movie,
unless I'm wrong, because I thought they were. They're not
like all real artists, they're like musicians, and they kind
of all just went into a studio and created this band,
at least from some of the behind the scenes I
saw from it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, well I'm trusting you because I've only seen them
perform and then I did a little bit of deep dive,
but I didn't see a lot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Could they could like be a real band now after
the success of this, because this song and album has
been number one forever.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So they performed I think it was on Jimmy Kimmel.
They performed their big song from the movie Golden and
I was like, oh, this is like real life, and
I started freaking out. I was like, what am I doing?
What is happening. I actually watched the performance on a
late night show because of that movie, and it was
them doing it in real life and they had like
the movie playing in the background. But it was cool. Yeah,
(30:55):
so you need to watch the performance since you like
now that I know you liked the movie. But that's
what I really suggest. I haven't heard of anybody who's
watched it that didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, I think for some people, it's just one of
those if you think you're not going to be into
an animated movie a lit alone, like a straight up
anime movie, you're like, oh, I'm not gonna like that.
But if you give it a chance, I think you'll
like it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm telling you that sound time had me hooked. I
think the last time I was truly, like, really engaged
in a movie because the soundtrack might have been like
high school musical.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, I mean, soundtracks have kind of not been a
thing for a while. Probably CD sales influenced that a lot,
because it used to be like put out the movie,
you put out the CD and it makes a lot
of money too, and now it's just kind of like
you make a playlist and that really doesn't carry the
same weight to it. Yeah, And I also feel like
when it comes to like actually curating a soundtrack to
(31:45):
a movie, the only other movies I think that really
stand out, or like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Yeah,
because James Gunn is like really particular about like the
songs he uses in his movies very much so, and
a lot of those like big moments in those movies
are associated with the song. I think, outside of probably
K Pop like that, that's the franchise that I associate
having great soundtracks.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Well, And it's funny if I really truly think about
it with soundtracks and movies. The movies that I really
love had really great soundtracks re guarding to the Galaxy,
but like also Batman, like The Dark Knight Trillology is
that right?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Trilogy?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Thank you? I knew that sounded weird that one had
really great music attached to it. And then you think
like Avengers End Game, really superhero movies in general typically
have pretty good soundtracks. Everything that I like really remember
they've had good soundtracks. So maybe that's the key to
a good movie. You also have to have good music. Yeah,
(32:42):
I don't know this is a theory.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I mean I think it adds something that you don't
realize it in the moment. If if a movie has
a great score, you might not realize how much it
affects you. Because if you watch a scene that has
a great score, without that, you're gonna know not that
it's not going to make you feel the same way. Yeah,
because that music underneath it can really impact how you
interpret a scene. So I think sometimes a great score
(33:08):
goes unnoticed because without realizing it's doing his job of
conveying this emotion to you and you're not realizing it
in the moment. But if you took that away, you'd
be like, well, this scene feels different now, Like this
movie's not as good because the music is in here.
I think the last time that happened for me was
seeing Mawana I, where the music wasn't as good in
that one because lin Manuel Miranda wasn't a part of
(33:29):
it because that was initially supposed to be a Disney
Plus series so didn't really have the same budget behind it,
and then it turned into a movie and I was like,
somebody's just missing about these songs. They don't have that
same like creativity behind it. They're not as punchy they're
not as memorable because he wasn't doing the music, So
that really affected my enjoyment of that second movie.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
See, okay, I got a solid theory here. This is
going strong and speaking of a movie. So I saw
Kane Brown and this is music related to came Brown
Kitlen Brown. They're turning their song thing God into lifetime
Christmas movie. Did you see this news? I did see this,
So I'm now curious, Like maybe we go the round
(34:08):
of like if you think of a song that'd be
a really good movie, maybe it's a holiday movie, can
be any movie, or like if you were to take
a piece of your life and turn it into a movie,
what piece of your life would you take? And you
can go either direction.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I have. I've never shared this with anybody except maybe
my wife and one another version. But I've written kind
of a specscript on a song.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Okay, because there's exciting.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
This is a again, like the thing about me is
I meant to Really I'm into things that are nobody
else's favorites. I have very niche like artists that I
love that are like at the top of my list
on what I listened to that nobody else would nobody
else would know, and it's just like it's something I've
had ever since, like I was like younger, Like I
(34:55):
was just into things that nobody else liked. It's really
hard for me to relate to people. But there's this
song called you Miss My Heart that was originally by
another artist, but Phoebe Bridges covered it and kind of
made it more popular. But it's a song that's like
one of my favorites, and I wrote like a script
around like if that song was turned into like a
movie or like a probably like a short film. But
(35:16):
the thing is the movie the song itself is like
really depressing. It is about a home intruder going into
a house and killing somebody. Wow. But I was like,
I listened to that song and it doesn't If you
just listen to it, you would just think this is
kind of a sad song that's really catchy, but all
the lyrics behind it are like, oh man, this is
like a really dark, twisted story going on here. I'm like,
(35:38):
this is a horror movie.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
So you wrote kind of a horror movie script exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I took like all the lyrics from the song, which
is about I kind of interpreted it's a guy who
got broken up with his girlfriend is now in a
relationship with a new guy. So the ex boyfriend goes
to the house and then sees both of them together
and kills the new boyfriend and then takes the ex
(36:05):
girlfriend in hostage with him. He gets caught by police,
gets gunned down, or not gets gunned down, but gets arrested,
gets thrown into prison, and then tries to escape prison
and then gets shot. And that's the whole story. It's
a very tragic story. Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, it's a lot of death.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's a lot of death. It's it's somebody getting stabbed
while they're trying to call nine one one. And that
song is so visual to me that I saw all
the scenes and I was because there's one line in
particular where he talks about like after he just killed
this person, he looks out and it's like a beautiful day,
And I just thought that's like a weird juxtaposition of
like he just created he just committed this crazy crime,
(36:44):
but it's like a beautiful, bright and sunny fall day
going back to the fall same year. And I was like,
that should be a horror movie, because if you think
about horror movies, they always take place at night in
like a dark, weird house. You don't see that stuff
happening in the middle of the day. So I was like,
what if they're some movie where it's a horror movie,
but everything surrounding it is like bright and colorful and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
That's a really good concept, Mike. I feel like you
need to write this, like fully write it.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah. I probably I have like the entire thing like
written out, Like I probably did this maybe a couple
months ago, Okay, but it's something that it's kind of
when I don't have either when I don't have work
that I need to get done right now, or I
feel like I need to like get some creative energy out,
I'll just go work on it. And I don't know
what it's gonna be. I don't even I even looked
(37:32):
up like, legally, can you make a song about a movie?
There's there's kind of some gray areas there.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, I would imagine as long as you could and
I don't know who originally wrote it, but as long
as you can get whoever the legal legality of the songwriters, because.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I've never really heard that. I did some research into
this because I've never really seen somebody make a movie
about a song, or like a TV show on the song,
because oftentimes there's not enough story in a song. That's
probably like some country songs that I have done that
now that I think about it, But it's not a
thing where there's like an exact like legality behind it.
(38:07):
But again, it's like their intellectual property. And if I
took like the the exact same things that they wrote,
it's almost like you kind of got to give them
writing credit, much like if you covered a song that
ended up founding like another song, kind of got to
give them writing credit.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, which you could totally do. I feel like this
is this is a thing, this is your next season
of life, is Mike the scriptwriter.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's fun to do, and it's just it's just something
that I've always wanted to do, and I just feel
like whenever I have inspiration, I get like I got
to get this all down now. And sometimes it just
feels good getting it out of me and it feels like, Okay,
it's kind of like blowing off steam. But up to
this point, I just haven't done anything else with it.
Not that I've like been scared to do anything with it.
(38:51):
I just don't know what it is Yeah, I don't
know if I'm like, do I want to film this?
Do I want to just try to pitch this to somebody?
Is is it anything or is it just the creative thing?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think it can be whatever you want to be
and you'll figure it out, you know what I mean.
You've you started writing it and you didn't have any
purpose for it then, but you knew you wanted to
write it, and now as you finish it and start
putting pretty bows on it, it's like, Okay, well what
do I want with it now? Was this just for me?
Was it something that I create? Was it something somebody
else creates? But the cool thing is you did it,
(39:22):
so you now have the option to do whatever you
want with it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and that's cool.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Dang, Okay, I'm glad I asked that question.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Was a good I want to think about? That? Was
I didn't think about like the fact that I had
already done this before. But if anyone wants everybody wants
to go listen to a really sad and depressing song
and go listen to you Miss my Heart and then
visualize it in your head and see if you can
see what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Well, and horror movie because horror is like your favorite job. Yeah,
so that's so cool. Okay, well that's a perfect place
for us to end on. So Mike, thanks for joining.
Thanks for sharing the thing that nobody else knew of
until this moment besides maybe your wife and another person.
So I appreciate it and tell it you where they
can hear you find you all that.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
You can check out my podcast movie Mike's Movie Podcast
wherever you get podcasts. I just interviewed Freddy Krueger again.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Wait, the actual Freddie get the actor, the.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Actor who played Freddy Krueger, who has known really like
it's interesting that when it comes to all of like
the pillars in horror, like you'r Michael Myers, your Chuckies,
there's really only one person who's associated with one of
those iconic core characters. And Robert England played Freddy from
the beginning, and he is somebody that you see and
you're like, oh, that's Freddy Krueger. All the other ones
(40:31):
it's just somebody else.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That's true, Okay, Freddy Krueger. I don't know that I
have ever actually watched Freddy Krueger, but I do know
about him because of pop culture, so true statement. We'll
go check all that out and you can also subscribe
to the Bobby Bone Show YouTube page at Bobby Bone Show.

I hang a scene with a member of the show.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
What's Up Everybody? Mike D joins me this weekend. What's
up Mike D?
Speaker 1 (00:11):
It was going on.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Oh, I'm so excited because you and I just got
back well you know, not technically when we're recording this,
but you and I both did the post Malone bar opening. Yeah,
and I need all of your reviews, thoughts, everything, because
this is your guy.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
First of all, I don't go out on week days.
It's like this is out of characteristic for me. It's
a school night, it's like middle of the week. I
also don't really go to downtown that often.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Oh yeah, listen, Downtown is brutal in general now, especially
when you are sober.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
And when I saw it come down, I was like,
if I don't go to this, how lame am I
going to be? Because I couldn't. I just couldn't comprehend
if this opportunity came to me like five years ago,
and I'd be like, I'd be there no matter what. Yeah,
but it was just like, man, I got to go
down there and go with the crowds type of thing.
But it was awesome.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
But at least you did have a little bit of
VIP action. Yeah, so not complete chilling with the public.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Oh yeah, you still were Yeah, you still had to
get down there. It was still really crowd. That was
the thing I knew going into it. I was like,
even though like we're going to have a different access
to it, you still can't get around that crowd.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Oh yeah, no, And I'm pretty sure the crowd was
happening on Broadway since the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, because we got there early and it was still
like it was already like, oh man, this is gonna
be nuts, because you think because at first I thought
it was going to be like a normal chill thing.
I didn't even know like people were going to know
about it. I thought it was going to be like,
here's this event in his bar, He's going to show
up and dow this thing. I didn't say anything, And
then when I saw him post about it, I was like, oh,
this totally changes everything.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well, because he also beyond the fact that he was
going to be there performing on Broadway, he also was
like from nine pm until two am, I'm covering the tab. Yeah,
so that brings out a whole new level of crazy.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
It just opened it up to everybody. And if you
see that, even if you're not a post Philones band,
you're gonna be like, I'm gonna go downtown, try to
get some free drink.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Right. Free drink's on Broadway two, which, mind you, a
drink on Broadway costs anywhere from sixteen to twenty three
dollars for one drink.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
So that's a big deal to cover that tab. But
what are your thoughts on his bar?
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I think it's pretty cool, like seeing all this stuff
all around his like wax figure is there. I like
the bar, and I don't like Broadway bars. This is
probably the only second one that I've gone to a
thing like this. I went to the Dirks one. Okay,
I like Dirks, and that was still like before everybody
had one, so it was a little more novel at
that time, and I'd say, of course this is my
(02:41):
favorite one. Naturally, Well I go back. I don't know, Yeah,
I just can't. It's hard to go to places when
you don't drink. Yeah, and I had a liquid death,
so it kind of felt like I was drinking something.
But aside from that, like I don't know what to
do at bars.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's fair. Listen, Mike, I've been I've only been completely
sober for about a month and a half now, and yeah,
I don't know what to do with my hands when
I go in places.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Because I don't understand how people go there to socialize
with friends if you can't hear each other. And it's
weird because some people are really good at it that
you can talk and they like understand things, and I
don't know if they have ears trained because they do
that so much. But that is the hardest part for me,
is like, how do you even talk to somebody if
you're screaming the whole time.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's true, it is a talent, and it's one that's
honestly an exhausting talent because when you do it, your
ear drums do get very exhaustive because you're like intently.
It's like you have to turn on another notch on
your ear drum to be like, hey, we gotta really
zone in and pay attention, or like you're just really
good at speaking at a normal like it's kind of weird.
It's kind of messes with your brain because people speak normally,
(03:51):
but they speak into your ear, so then it's easier
to hear, but that's a talent, yeah, to be able
to do that.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I do not have that talent.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
And it's very loud. It's very loud in there in
any downtown bar, it's loud in general on Broadway. So
won't be going.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Back, yeah, because that's not even like me getting older,
thing like I never went to bars even when I
was partying in my teenage, underage and twenty year old,
Like that just wasn't a thing for me, just because
I think that environment for me isn't comfortable when it
comes to like when I wanted to drink, I didn't
want I didn't feel the need to be around a
(04:27):
lot of people at a bar. I was more of
a go to like a house party type drinker or
just with friends.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yeah, I think that's fair. I think that's you have
bar drinkers, you have house party drinkers. I'm just happened
to normally be one of both. Not lately though, so
I do know. And I also felt a side of
your pain because I couldn't eat anything, and normally when
I'm not drinking, the other thing that I do is eat,
So like if there's food, I'm like I can pay
attention to food and that's what I can carry around
(04:55):
and socialize, but I couldn't have any of it.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah any event, I just they were like, we're gonna
have food. I'm like, I'm just not gonna be able
to eat any of that food and granity. Yeah, it
was all like chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, I was chicken. And I was really sad because
they had deep fried oreos and deep fried doughnut holes
and I really wanted to eat those that I couldn't,
So it was sad. And at one point, because they
had all these nice waitresses walking around with food, and
there was at one point where some walked by with materarellistics,
which is my kryptonite, and I literally looked and I
(05:26):
just flicked at my voice when I just was pounded.
I was like, that is the most depressing thing that's
ever happened. And it was like shoving it in my
face and I tried to get him to eat it
for me, and he was like, no, I'm not going
to eat your favorite thing in front of you. That
would you mean the.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Only thing I was tempted by, even though I don't drink,
was the blood light, just because it felt like very posted.
I want to post Malone bar opening, they're handing out
free bud light. I was like, that kind of feels
right well, And don't you.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Have the bud light can from when he probed you?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I still have it. I'm trying to get it signed eventually,
but I still have it.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, it's hard and he probably didn't bring it with
you last.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And I saw him briefly before he performed, like walking
out of the bar, and I was like, what am
I to do? Like aer signs can?
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Did you try and go see him perform?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Did you make it?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah? I made it?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Okay, I didn't you did it? So tell me what
it was like.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
I like the country era, but I'm a little bit
like ready for him to moose past it. But I
don't think he is, because I feel like he is
the most comfortable now. Seeing him bring out like Dirks
and Brooks and Dunn, I feel like this is almost
what he wanted to do the entire time, because country
is something that's been like a part of him forever,
(06:41):
Like he's known these songs since he was back doing
his first album. And seeing him on stage performing nineties
country covers and bringing out these artists, I feel like
he is the most comfortable now, and as a longtime fan,
I like it, But I want him to do one
other country album and then to move on because he's
shipped genres like here and there, like started out wrap
(07:04):
hip hop did like a rock album did, almost like
an indie album would really pop for a minute. And
now he's been country for a while now. I just
kind of want him to go either back to doing
hip hop or trying something else.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
What else do you well, Okay, I have multiple questions here.
First of all, do you think maybe he's here to
stay and he may just stay in this genre?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
After last night, I think he is going to stay.
I feel like this is where his foundation is going
to be now, especially having a bar on Broadway, it
kind of cements you into that culture. I think the
relationships he has formed here, not only with artists but
with songwriters, it's starting to become a part of his
DNA or I couldn't see him just leaving that part
of him behind.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, kind of like it's intertwined, like he may try
other genres, but this will always be part of it.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
The thing I could see him kind of doing is
kind of like the hearty route of like going back
into the harder rock stuff. Plust Moloni is a big,
like metal heavy, hard rock fan, so I could see
him kind of walk that line of like, hey, I
put out a couple of country albums. This is kind
of the next step in progression where those two genres
(08:15):
kind of go together, like the audience wise, like if
you went to a festival, there was kind of like
an in between band you could get away with that. Yeah,
I could see him kind of evolving into that, even
though he's kind of done a rock record already.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Okay, I see it, but definitely a bummer for all
of those who who are And my boyfriend's kind of
with you. He loves the hip hop rap side of him.
That's like the stuff that he's really gravitated towards and
some of the pop because that was also influenced with that.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Yeah, in the same kind of lanes still had the
same sound. Yes, so he loved that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
He was like when we because we did try and
make it, but the performance was free on Broadway, and
if there's anything free on Broadway, you know, there's just
a lot. And since I was dead's over, I couldn't
handle it. My boyfriend's fine. He had two drinks in him.
So he's like, I'm okay, you know, and shove into me.
And I was like, I'm not somebody shoves into me
one more time, I'm gonna throw a punch. It's not
gonna go.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I did kind of feel like stuck for a second
when we couldn't even get out on the Broadway. Yeah,
it was crazy.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
And that's and that was why when we tried like
two different avenues and I was like, Okay, let's go home.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I'm good.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I like him a lot, but it's not worth this
for me. But he was like, it's okay, He's not
going to perform the songs that I wanted to hear anyway,
And it was true.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah, And this is me even saying this as him
being in country is probably the best for me because
that means he would be around more. I've seen him
more in the last year that I've seen him the
entire time I've been a fan. I've seen him like
four times in the last year now. Yeah, because he's
here more, he's at more events. It is probably in
(09:45):
my best interest that he stays in country because he
would be around more. And I'm saying that that I
would still rather him kind of go back and do
something different.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Yeah, but that's also you outside perspective as a fan
of just his music. Like you like him as a person,
you're his number one fan, but you also are his
number one fan because of his music, and if you're
over this genre of it, that's a huge art of
where that lies.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
And I didn't realize it until I go back and
listen to his music, and it is not an album
that I like gravitate towards wanting to listen to on repeat.
If I'm going back to listen to post Alone, I'm
going back to like Stoney, I'm going back to, like
the first two albums. This one I just don't revisit
as much, even though when it came out I listen
to it every day for like three weeks straight. Now
(10:34):
I just find myself going back to it the least
out of all of his albums.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But correct me if I'm wrong. Country also isn't one
of your top genres normally normally? No, Yeah, like you
more gravitate. What would you say your top three genres
are that you genuinely as a person listened to outside
of work.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
I would say sad music is a genre I'd say
probably like like singer songwriter Indie is probably I go
to Okay. Second is probably punk rock, just because I
think where I listened to my most music is probably running. Yeah,
Like it's hard to find upbeat stuff, so I think
(11:10):
if you just pulled like my music stats, that kind
of dominates just for how much Yell is into that
while I run. And then third is probably Mexican music,
anything in Spanish, it's probably third.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Yeah. So see it's not even one of your tops,
So that would make sense too. Why you're not gravitating,
you're also not doing the activities. I feel like that,
like for country music whenever even working in and I
grew up, I was raised on country music. I now
really listen to country music. If I'm outside vibeing summertime
and there's like a good vibe going on, I'm maybe
(11:45):
going to day drink or something like that, or I'm
going to a boat or a lake or out on
the beach. Those are my country vibes. But when I'm
going to get ready to go out, when I'm working out,
when i'm doing most of the time, it's pop music.
It's you know, like a kind of like you're talking
about the pop rock type stuff or like even a
little bit of hip hop too. I only gravitate towards
(12:06):
country music and very specific incidents now as an adult.
Before it was my everything because it's all my parents
listen to. But like as if somebody who makes a
choice country music, there's very great instances to listen to it.
But it's not a genre that I feel like, I'm
I'm gonna go to the bar and I'm gonna be
like out and people are gonna be grinding into country music, right. Yeah,
(12:27):
it's only if you go to a country bar, or
if I'm gonna go work out really hard, do like
a CrossFit workout, country music is probably not gonna be
the thing that's can get me going, you know what
I mean. So it is one of those genres that
feels a little bit more specific depending on your vibe. Now,
if I'm on a road trip, country music is the vibe.
It's all based on scenarios.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Yeah, every time I went to my Orthodonis, they always
had on country.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, it's the office listening music.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
It is very crowd pleasing music, yes, And I think
that's also why I listened to it a lot growing
up because it was always just on the radio, like
if I was driving, like with my parents or my cousins.
I just that is what I associate country music with,
Like they just was just always on the radio.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
See exactly. So to your credit, I think that has
a lot to do with it too. Before we take
a break, is there anything else thoughts about post molum posts,
is the bar name? Any other thoughts of the whole night?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I just think he's still like a genuinely nice person.
Like everything he does, I feel he does it from
like a good place in his heart, even like picking
up the tab like that is something that like no
other artist really does, even just throwing a free concert
on and playing just a bunch of songs that he
finds joy in. But also I think people enjoy going
to watch that stuff. I just think him as a
(13:43):
person is kind of like his brand, like him just
being a good dude and just having fun, Like he'll
be in town going to random places for no reason
and then just saying hi and hanging out with people
I just heard. He's like still the most genuine dude.
As more famous as he's gotten, I feel like that's
kind of been the constant. So that just makes me like,
(14:04):
all right, I pick the right guy to be a
fan of.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It's really true. I don't And all the conversations I've
ever had with anybody in the industry or fans in general,
there's not been a single person who's had a bad
interaction with post Malone. So that's a huge credit to
his character, right, I mean that's people who work with him,
people who just know him as a fan, all just
across the board, and our interaction with him was awesome.
(14:27):
Like everything that I've ever known about him is he's
just a really nice guy, and he's super chill, like
genuinely as chill as you think. Maybe add that times ten. Yeah,
he's just so chill. That would be the best description
of him. So you did choose a good fan. Yeah,
post Malone and Spider Man two get two good choices.
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.
(14:49):
So we've made it to fall. Hard to believe it's
already October. What is on your agenda or any big
plans for the last few months of the year, anything
you're hoping to accomplish. What's going on in your life
right now?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
I think I am at a place now where I
just want to live in the moment a little bit more.
And I think fall kind of inspires that for me
because it feels like things start to slow down a
little bit. And I think as soon as like the
weather changes and I'm able just to not feel like
I have to rush to do things all the time,
I'm like, all right, this is kind of the time
(15:21):
to reevaluate what I'm doing in life here.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, Fall very much gives those vibes. It's like everybody
starts winding down, the holidays are coming.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I always feel like fall is when life starts for me,
Like that is when I always just associate like, this
is when the best part of being a human comes out.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Interesting, Okay, give me more.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Because when I guess, I associate summer and like the
end of summer with like going back to school, and
I always hated that. But whenever Fall hit, I was like, Okay,
here's where the fun part comes. Like, here's where you're
starting to hang out with like friends and family, go
and doing things, doing fun things. On the weekend, you
have the holidays obviously coming up, and that just kind
of feels like the most special part of the year.
(16:03):
So that is where I feel like the most life
happens is right there at the end. People also start
just being a little bit happier as we get closer
to the end of the year and closer to the holidays,
where I just feel like that's the moment I want
to exist in them. Out of the entire year, that
feels like the most. That feels like the time I
wait for the entire year. It's weird because at the
(16:24):
beginning of the year, I'm always like, oh, life hasn't
started yet, Like we're still like in the first month,
we're still in February, We're still in smart Like life
hasn't started yet. Oh it's summer, it's not. And but
once the fall hits, I'm like, Okay, now it's time
to live life.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
So you're saying for like three months of the year, you're.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Registered the year until now.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Hey, I don't necessarily disagree with you, because for me,
this is my favorite time of year. I love fall,
and I love the winter, I love the holidays. It's
genuinely my favorite time year. So I don't disagree, But
it is funny that you're saying, yours doesn't start until here,
So like nine ten months, those first.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Like three months or nothing, because I feel like everybody's
still figuring things out. We live in like New Year's
for like a month and a half until February, and
then nobody likes spring, Summer, everything gets all like thrown
all over the place. It's not until right now where
I feel like we're all together, living life at the
same time, doing the same things pretty much. Once we
(17:18):
all start watching football and all those things come back,
that is when I feel life starts.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I love the perspective. I love it, and again don't
necessarily disagree with you. It's my favorite time of the year.
There's a lot happening, but it is funny because I
see it more as my slow down. This is where
I start to like really try and focus on stuff
that I want to do, relax, stop like socialized. Because
summer and spring just bring out all the people wanting
to do all the things. Because it's nice outside. People
(17:46):
get excited, especially coming off of winter. They really want
to be outside, they really want to be doing activities,
and so then it feels like fall hits. I'm like, okay,
I can breathe. Nobody wants to do anything. I just
want to hang out and I just want to like
paint my pumpkins or car pumpkins and do the fall
activities and then do all the Christmas activities. Yes thanks
Thanksgiving activities too, But like listen November first hits. Your
(18:08):
girl is Mariah carry all the way until February basically,
So I do get it. I do get the perspective.
That's funny and it's I mean coming up to like
this weekend, as this podcast is technically airing, my boyfriend
planned a birthday trip for me. That is us doing
absolutely nothing, going to a place where I can relax
(18:28):
and genuinely turn my brains.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
The last time you've done that trip where you don't
do anything because you always go all out?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
I know, I don't think I've done this in years,
maybe over a decade. Honestly, how is that for you?
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Not having an itinerary? Because I know you love like
blocking out days, restaurants are going to eat at, ask
you for recommendations. Now I feel like you're taking a
me type trip, So how does that affect you?
Speaker 2 (18:49):
It feels a little weird because he still hasn't told
me the full scope of where we're going, what we're doing.
But he was like, there's no schedule. We don't have
a schedule. We you know, bring all your comfy clothes.
Your gonna love it, I promise. And I'm like, I'm
sitting there and my skin's kind of itching a little
bit where I'm like, but but there's no schedule, there's
no like plan, and like I get anxious of like, okay,
(19:09):
do I need to do that? And he's like, just stop,
We're gonna go. Like, you need time for you. You
always have things to do and stuff to do for
you know, whether it's the animals or other people. Like,
for once, I need you to just turn off your
brain and come and relax and enjoy some time just
us and hanging out. And so I'm my brain's finally
starting to rap around it. At first it was like
(19:31):
a ah, what are you doing? And now it's like
we're I'm probably at like eighty percent right now, so
hopefully by the time we actually leave for that trip,
it'll be out one hundred. Yeah. Yeah, I am excited
for it. This is where this is the era of
life that I'm in right now. We've kind of talked
about a little bit where I'm going through the whole
detox cleans and really trying to like just get healthy
(19:54):
and focus on on me, which is not something I'm
very good at a lot, and this is the perfect
time for that to be happening, because it's only reiterating
what I need to do to take care of myself.
It's just hard. It's just something I'm not used to at.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Yeah. I think this is also that I've kind of
entered that too, of like taking a little bit more
time just to take care of myself in general, of
like not just like physically, but also mentally. And it
feels weird to do.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah, it feels very selfish and it feels very not productive.
Does that make sense?
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yes, Okay, know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
Yeah, And I know that's neither one of those things,
but that's exactly how I feel where I'm like, I
could be doing X, Y and Z right now. And also, well,
you know, whether it's my dog needs me or well,
my friends need me to be here. I need to
show up here. I need to do this for you.
And he's like, no, nobody, you have nothing to do
for thirty six hours. There's zero plans, So we'll see
(20:55):
how my brain actually does in it. We're gonna bring
games and stuff which I think will help my I'm
an activity.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
You're describing, like my perfect trip right now that is
like we take games, we don't do anything. There's no plans.
If we encounter something that we're like, oh we should
go do that, you just kind of throw it in
the mix. But you don't go with anything. You don't
look at recommendations because for me, like I know some
people like you love having people like tell you things
(21:23):
to go check out. I am the opposite of that.
I don't want to know anything. I want to discover
things on my own. I want to just walk down
the street and be like, here's a coffee shop lititzef
it's any good. I don't care if it's the best
in the city or not. I don't care if their
cofee is terrible. I just want to discover a new
city by going into places and finding out on my
own first hand. Because I think for me, like a
(21:45):
trip is supposed to be like an escape, and if
I have all these things like strategically planned, and then
everything just goes according to plan, it doesn't feel It
just feels like, Okay, I went here, I did the things,
and it just felt like an assignment. I like I
like to go free range chicken and just go discover
things on my own. That's also why I love going
and like running in a new city and seeing things
(22:06):
along the way. I think that's the best way to
take in a city. And then if I see something cool,
I go back and I investigate.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Well, what happens if you're not a runner, Mike, on
a run, just.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Drive around a city or walk around.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
I'm glad that you referred to as a free rained chicken.
That will be me this weekon. I'll get a taste
of what you do, and I think it will be
so fun and I think I will love it. But
it is it's definitely out of character for me. But
it's a character I need to enter into.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
I think there can be both. Like I think you
take some trips where you there are some I feel
like destinations that require an itinerary. If we're going to
Disney World, any kind of in an itinerary.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
If you're going to yeah, if you free raine chicken,
that one.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Even if you're going to like a big city, sometimes
you kind of need to know, like, Okay, if we
want to go to an event, you kind of have
to lay that out. But if you're going on a
trip that's just relaxed mode, don't have the plan.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Are you good at relaxing, because this is where my
problem is is I'm not good at relaxing.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
I'm terrible at relaxing.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
But see, you can do this when you go to
a city. This is why I need things, because relaxing
to meet and you know, credit to all the people
who have told me a million times that I am
not good at that for a reason, Like there's stuff
happening to my body, and I feel like there's something
happening of why I can't relax, but I physically can't.
If I sit down for fifteen minutes, Mike, I'm like, Okay, well,
(23:22):
I got eighty different things.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I need to I think there are different ways to relax.
I am not good at relaxing in the traditional sense
of if I go to a beach and just lay
there and read a book, I can't do that. I
can't focus.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
I hate that. I hate that.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
I feel like I'm just looking at the clock the
whole time, like how much time is as fast as
we can we go back somewhere else yet now. But
I think I've learned how to relax in other ways,
or I'm doing something, but I'm also not thinking about
the things that are keeping me from relaxing. Okay, like
when we're in New York, I found that trip relaxing
(23:55):
even though we were walking around the entire time, because
that just at walking allowed my brain to relax because
I can only focus on where we're going right now,
where we're going to go eat, what we're going to
go see, and it's just all like one constant motion
pushing you along. And I feel like that's like almost
relaxing in motion, where you're doing something but you're completely
(24:19):
out of your normal routine, giving your brain.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
An activity but not an activity of the normal sense.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Yes, it's kind of like if somebody relaxes by sitting
on the couch, but they need something to do with
their hands, so they start knitting. I feel like if
you're knitting, you're still like creating something, but you're kind
of relaxing. It's like a it's a relaxing activity. Maybe
you do because I think it's something with your brain
where you need to be doing something, but you could
(24:46):
still be doing something that's kind of relaxing. Adult coloring
books I've kind of gotten into those a little bit
where kin like that where you're still doing something but
it's something relaxing and not too physically demanding. Okay, So
I think there's a difference, like if you like for me,
like running is kind of a form relaxation, but it's
not really a form relaxation, but your body's very stressed
but very stress during that. But if you find something
(25:07):
that's like a low energy activity that's still using your brain,
it's relaxing. Because I think the way I was taught,
like what relaxing is, it's like doing nothing and sitting
at the beach, hanging out in a pool. I don't
find those relaxing. But if I'm actually doing something, I
feel like that's relaxing to me.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Okay, you may have got me on a new era.
I might be knitting and coloring moving forward because I
need that. I have to be in this little we
make fun of it and call it my little hot pocket.
I have to be in asno mat for twenty five
minutes a day. And when I first started doing this,
I was not well. It would hit like ten minutes
and I kept because I'd yell at Alexa like start
(25:46):
a timer, and I had every two minutes, be like, Alexa,
how much time left? Alexa, how much time left? And
She's like, girlfriends, you got a whole lot left, and
I'm gonna need you to chill out. And now I'm
at least at the point where I make it before
I ask here, I make it to about twenty one minutes.
We are improving slow scale. So now I'm gonna look
up knitting and coloring to see if I can also
(26:07):
continue the direction of So thank you for that. All right,
We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be back with
some fun random questions.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
All right.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
So I just have some kind of random things that
have happened in my life lately. Summer movie related, okay,
and summer just all over the place. So good soundtrack
that you remember. I'll officially review this movie if we
do Tuesday Reviews day next week. But I watched K
Pop Demon Hunters and mighty, this is the best animated
movie I've seen in a long time.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
It is. Yeah, I would agree, it's so good. Just
the actual art in that movie is fantastic.
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Yes, Like, And I don't know why I've never been
an anime person. I know you like anime. I've never
been big into anime stuff, so I don't know really
what I anticipated, but I after about ten minutes and
I was like, oh, yeah, I'm.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
In That movie is infectious. You start watching it in
your life, Where does this going?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:00):
I immediately love this.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Exactly, And you know, I think part of it was
because the soundtrack is so good.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
It is the only soundtrack that I've actively seeked out
this year so far. Same usually there's like one movie
a year that makes me go like, I gotta go
check out that soundtrack. This has been the one.
Speaker 2 (27:15):
Okay, so this is it? Similar to how I felt
when I think it was Spider Man Across the Spider Verse.
That soundtrack intrigued me. It's interesting that both of them
are animated. Those are the only two that I really
can remember in just recent years in general. But this
one K Pop Demon Hunters, I was like, holy crap.
Even my boyfriend, who I was like, I don't know
(27:35):
if he's gonna like this one. He I found out
he used to watch a lot of anime, so he
was obsessed. He loved it, and both of us looked
at each other, was like, this is one of the
best movies we've seen recently. And the soundtrack is one
of the best we've heard.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, it's really good, so.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
Good, Okay, So maybe and maybe that's your answer. I
was gonna ask you, what's like the last good movie
soundtrack that you remember?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
That is the first one from this year? Man, My
other one's really niche, but it's like one that I
last year. It became one of my most listened to
albums of like the entire year.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It was a smaller independent movie called I Saw the
TV Glow okay, and all of the music was like sad,
depressing indie music. And I listened to that soundtrack probably
for two weeks straight after seeing that movie. And I
didn't even love the movie, but I just loved the
soundtrack and it was a lot of the artists that
I like that it was an album that I would
(28:28):
just put on listen to from start to finish.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Did it even make you think about the movie or
were you just kind of at that point listening to songs?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
No, because I honestly loved the soundtrack more than I
did the movie, so much so that I was like,
I gotta go back and watch that movie to see
if I feel different about it. And it was weird
seeing all the songs again because I was like, oh,
I don't even remember remember them in the movie, but
now that I've listened to them so much, I have
all these weirdest memories associated with them that I was like,
(28:55):
Oh man, I like the soundtrack way more. I wouldn't
even recommend the movie, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
That's funny, but the soundtrack was that good. It's a
crazy how much I think they call it a score
can impact something.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I think slightly different. If we're getting into terms, score
is just the instrumentation.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Got it? Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Yes, score is like all like if somebody scores a movie,
it's just like the instrumentation underneath it. The soundtrack is
like actual songs.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
Okay, so it is actually called the soundtrack. I really
thought they were all scores. But that's also because I
think the Awards show they always do they say soundtrack
or do they score?
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I think there are words for different ones, okay, yeah,
because they do like Best Original Song, and then they'll
do like best Score.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And the score is there's instrumental, instrumental.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Why don't they just say instrumental.
Speaker 1 (29:45):
Because it's like a score orchestra and you make the
score to a movie.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
Oh yeah, that's true. But okay, well that's a good one.
The other one I thought of is I mean k
pop takes it, which also I did see Hunterricks, which
is the K pop group that was obviously the demon
start part is not true, but like the Hunters group,
is what inspired this or they were they based it
off of them? Do you know the details behind?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
I thought they created that group just for the movie,
unless I'm wrong, because I thought they were. They're not
like all real artists, they're like musicians, and they kind
of all just went into a studio and created this band,
at least from some of the behind the scenes I
saw from it.
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Okay, well I'm trusting you because I've only seen them
perform and then I did a little bit of deep dive,
but I didn't see a lot.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Could they could like be a real band now after
the success of this, because this song and album has
been number one forever.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
So they performed I think it was on Jimmy Kimmel.
They performed their big song from the movie Golden and
I was like, oh, this is like real life, and
I started freaking out. I was like, what am I doing?
What is happening. I actually watched the performance on a
late night show because of that movie, and it was
them doing it in real life and they had like
the movie playing in the background. But it was cool. Yeah,
(30:55):
so you need to watch the performance since you like
now that I know you liked the movie. But that's
what I really suggest. I haven't heard of anybody who's
watched it that didn't like it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Yeah, I think for some people, it's just one of
those if you think you're not going to be into
an animated movie a lit alone, like a straight up
anime movie, you're like, oh, I'm not gonna like that.
But if you give it a chance, I think you'll
like it.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
I'm telling you that sound time had me hooked. I
think the last time I was truly, like, really engaged
in a movie because the soundtrack might have been like
high school musical.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, I mean, soundtracks have kind of not been a
thing for a while. Probably CD sales influenced that a lot,
because it used to be like put out the movie,
you put out the CD and it makes a lot
of money too, and now it's just kind of like
you make a playlist and that really doesn't carry the
same weight to it. Yeah, And I also feel like
when it comes to like actually curating a soundtrack to
(31:45):
a movie, the only other movies I think that really
stand out, or like the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Yeah,
because James Gunn is like really particular about like the
songs he uses in his movies very much so, and
a lot of those like big moments in those movies
are associated with the song. I think, outside of probably
K Pop like that, that's the franchise that I associate
having great soundtracks.
Speaker 2 (32:06):
Well, And it's funny if I really truly think about
it with soundtracks and movies. The movies that I really
love had really great soundtracks re guarding to the Galaxy,
but like also Batman, like The Dark Knight Trillology is
that right?
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Trilogy?
Speaker 2 (32:22):
Thank you? I knew that sounded weird that one had
really great music attached to it. And then you think
like Avengers End Game, really superhero movies in general typically
have pretty good soundtracks. Everything that I like really remember
they've had good soundtracks. So maybe that's the key to
a good movie. You also have to have good music. Yeah,
(32:42):
I don't know this is a theory.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
I mean I think it adds something that you don't
realize it in the moment. If if a movie has
a great score, you might not realize how much it
affects you. Because if you watch a scene that has
a great score, without that, you're gonna know not that
it's not going to make you feel the same way. Yeah,
because that music underneath it can really impact how you
interpret a scene. So I think sometimes a great score
(33:08):
goes unnoticed because without realizing it's doing his job of
conveying this emotion to you and you're not realizing it
in the moment. But if you took that away, you'd
be like, well, this scene feels different now, Like this
movie's not as good because the music is in here.
I think the last time that happened for me was
seeing Mawana I, where the music wasn't as good in
that one because lin Manuel Miranda wasn't a part of
(33:29):
it because that was initially supposed to be a Disney
Plus series so didn't really have the same budget behind it,
and then it turned into a movie and I was like,
somebody's just missing about these songs. They don't have that
same like creativity behind it. They're not as punchy they're
not as memorable because he wasn't doing the music, So
that really affected my enjoyment of that second movie.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
See, okay, I got a solid theory here. This is
going strong and speaking of a movie. So I saw
Kane Brown and this is music related to came Brown
Kitlen Brown. They're turning their song thing God into lifetime
Christmas movie. Did you see this news? I did see this,
So I'm now curious, Like maybe we go the round
(34:08):
of like if you think of a song that'd be
a really good movie, maybe it's a holiday movie, can
be any movie, or like if you were to take
a piece of your life and turn it into a movie,
what piece of your life would you take? And you
can go either direction.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I have. I've never shared this with anybody except maybe
my wife and one another version. But I've written kind
of a specscript on a song.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Okay, because there's exciting.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
This is a again, like the thing about me is
I meant to Really I'm into things that are nobody
else's favorites. I have very niche like artists that I
love that are like at the top of my list
on what I listened to that nobody else would nobody
else would know, and it's just like it's something I've
had ever since, like I was like younger, Like I
(34:55):
was just into things that nobody else liked. It's really
hard for me to relate to people. But there's this
song called you Miss My Heart that was originally by
another artist, but Phoebe Bridges covered it and kind of
made it more popular. But it's a song that's like
one of my favorites, and I wrote like a script
around like if that song was turned into like a
movie or like a probably like a short film. But
(35:16):
the thing is the movie the song itself is like
really depressing. It is about a home intruder going into
a house and killing somebody. Wow. But I was like,
I listened to that song and it doesn't If you
just listen to it, you would just think this is
kind of a sad song that's really catchy, but all
the lyrics behind it are like, oh man, this is
like a really dark, twisted story going on here. I'm like,
(35:38):
this is a horror movie.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
So you wrote kind of a horror movie script exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
I took like all the lyrics from the song, which
is about I kind of interpreted it's a guy who
got broken up with his girlfriend is now in a
relationship with a new guy. So the ex boyfriend goes
to the house and then sees both of them together
and kills the new boyfriend and then takes the ex
(36:05):
girlfriend in hostage with him. He gets caught by police,
gets gunned down, or not gets gunned down, but gets arrested,
gets thrown into prison, and then tries to escape prison
and then gets shot. And that's the whole story. It's
a very tragic story. Wow.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Yeah, it's a lot of death.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
It's a lot of death. It's it's somebody getting stabbed
while they're trying to call nine one one. And that
song is so visual to me that I saw all
the scenes and I was because there's one line in
particular where he talks about like after he just killed
this person, he looks out and it's like a beautiful day,
And I just thought that's like a weird juxtaposition of
like he just created he just committed this crazy crime,
(36:44):
but it's like a beautiful, bright and sunny fall day
going back to the fall same year. And I was like,
that should be a horror movie, because if you think
about horror movies, they always take place at night in
like a dark, weird house. You don't see that stuff
happening in the middle of the day. So I was like,
what if they're some movie where it's a horror movie,
but everything surrounding it is like bright and colorful and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
That's a really good concept, Mike. I feel like you
need to write this, like fully write it.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
Yeah. I probably I have like the entire thing like
written out, Like I probably did this maybe a couple
months ago, Okay, but it's something that it's kind of
when I don't have either when I don't have work
that I need to get done right now, or I
feel like I need to like get some creative energy out,
I'll just go work on it. And I don't know
what it's gonna be. I don't even I even looked
(37:32):
up like, legally, can you make a song about a movie?
There's there's kind of some gray areas there.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Well, I would imagine as long as you could and
I don't know who originally wrote it, but as long
as you can get whoever the legal legality of the songwriters, because.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
I've never really heard that. I did some research into
this because I've never really seen somebody make a movie
about a song, or like a TV show on the song,
because oftentimes there's not enough story in a song. That's
probably like some country songs that I have done that
now that I think about it, But it's not a
thing where there's like an exact like legality behind it.
(38:07):
But again, it's like their intellectual property. And if I
took like the the exact same things that they wrote,
it's almost like you kind of got to give them
writing credit, much like if you covered a song that
ended up founding like another song, kind of got to
give them writing credit.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yeah, which you could totally do. I feel like this
is this is a thing, this is your next season
of life, is Mike the scriptwriter.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's fun to do, and it's just it's just something
that I've always wanted to do, and I just feel
like whenever I have inspiration, I get like I got
to get this all down now. And sometimes it just
feels good getting it out of me and it feels like, Okay,
it's kind of like blowing off steam. But up to
this point, I just haven't done anything else with it.
Not that I've like been scared to do anything with it.
(38:51):
I just don't know what it is Yeah, I don't
know if I'm like, do I want to film this?
Do I want to just try to pitch this to somebody?
Is is it anything or is it just the creative thing?
Speaker 2 (39:01):
I think it can be whatever you want to be
and you'll figure it out, you know what I mean.
You've you started writing it and you didn't have any
purpose for it then, but you knew you wanted to
write it, and now as you finish it and start
putting pretty bows on it, it's like, Okay, well what
do I want with it now? Was this just for me?
Was it something that I create? Was it something somebody
else creates? But the cool thing is you did it,
(39:22):
so you now have the option to do whatever you
want with it.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and that's cool.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Dang, Okay, I'm glad I asked that question.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Was a good I want to think about? That? Was
I didn't think about like the fact that I had
already done this before. But if anyone wants everybody wants
to go listen to a really sad and depressing song
and go listen to you Miss my Heart and then
visualize it in your head and see if you can
see what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Well, and horror movie because horror is like your favorite job. Yeah,
so that's so cool. Okay, well that's a perfect place
for us to end on. So Mike, thanks for joining.
Thanks for sharing the thing that nobody else knew of
until this moment besides maybe your wife and another person.
So I appreciate it and tell it you where they
can hear you find you all that.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
You can check out my podcast movie Mike's Movie Podcast
wherever you get podcasts. I just interviewed Freddy Krueger again.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Wait, the actual Freddie get the actor, the.
Speaker 1 (40:10):
Actor who played Freddy Krueger, who has known really like
it's interesting that when it comes to all of like
the pillars in horror, like you'r Michael Myers, your Chuckies,
there's really only one person who's associated with one of
those iconic core characters. And Robert England played Freddy from
the beginning, and he is somebody that you see and
you're like, oh, that's Freddy Krueger. All the other ones
(40:31):
it's just somebody else.
Speaker 2 (40:32):
That's true, Okay, Freddy Krueger. I don't know that I
have ever actually watched Freddy Krueger, but I do know
about him because of pop culture, so true statement. We'll
go check all that out and you can also subscribe
