We got some great guests with us. We have a special someone that came back and brought friends with him

(01:26):
All right, so we're gonna pop these bad boys up. We're gonna pop up on the top of the screen welcome back
Mr. Water is back in the house
Oh my gosh, man, you've you've grown
You have a beard and mustache what the hell happened?
I could wear my own ass
I could wear my own ass

(01:50):
What's up man, tell us who's with us today
Well, I got my producers and I'm also officially being I'm gonna be their number one artist
There you go
You know it is you show me I'm gonna be working with them on a one-on-one basis
Also, Jesse Jackson shot out a pipe game. There you go. There you go

(02:11):
But yeah, we've I've been working on music with them for the past year
They help me out with my album that's gonna release pretty soon. I'll get into that right now
And yeah, they've they've been helping me out. I don't know if y'all want to introduce yourself
Ricky Gonzalez and producer for water one of our players studios and we're here making this music happen been working with Brandon for about

(02:34):
They're a little bit over a year almost producing non-stop. It's been constant productive work, which is great
You know nothing to get the block, you know block the the constructive route of music
Everything's been great as far as I go and working here with my boy Mike Valdez making everything happen
And also express a bit of himself. All right, man. Who else is there with us? Go ahead

(02:56):
Oh, my name is Michael. That's I'm the owner of Claire's studio and yeah, it's been great working with water and with Ricky alongside
Yes, sir. Get stuff done just your hustle from this guy. He's always in there
He's always coming by always recording stuff always always ready for the song
Yeah, we get a lot of product and stuff done with Ricky most of the time like whenever he's in the studio work gets done

(03:17):
You feel me? Right, right, right
And the young ladies will take my name is Celine Gris. I'm also a little artist here in the RGB
Pleasure me. No, don't forget about it
I'm just here. I'm just here
I get it now
So tell us a little bit about yourselves, man

(03:40):
Let's start with the un-mitty first because of why I'm sorry you've been here
No, I am. So let's start with the un-mitty first. Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where you from and how you guys started
I'm from originally from Mission, Texas born and raised in Alamo
A little bit about my music. My style is more of indie and Americana
I've had a little bit of a hard time discovering what my true identity with music was in the very beginning

(04:06):
However, as an artist you tend to experiment the more you experiment the more you season your sound and your style
So through that you just find an identity of a multitude of things
And that's how I describe what Americana means to me
There you go, there you go
Now, coming into this group as speaking to the gentleman who owns the studio, correct?

(04:30):
Sure
How did you get into in the music industry and how did you come out making your studio come
Making that studio become a dream come true for yourself?
A studio or a label?
Well, it's a studio but we're getting our way to becoming a label
Oh, okay, alright, alright
But actually I came through the studio because my dad's a Tejano legend
There you go

(04:51):
And so he recorded a lot of his hit songs through the studio after he was with Hacienda and everything like that
So it's a group of romance
Okay, I know you're talking about now
And so like they've been around for the longest time
Yeah, yeah
So I left, I went on tour with the circus for like seven years as music director

(05:13):
And when I came back from my tour, he was like, hey, you can keep the studio, you know
Like I see you're getting serious with the music
And I was like, okay, cool
And then I just ran with it and I started just bringing in all kinds of talent
Scouting talent, going looking for musicians
And just helping them get to the next step

(05:35):
You know, like never in it for the money
Always in it to help the community
So I always have bringing people in
If I see that they got something going for them but they don't have the finances to get recorded somewhere
I always bring them in
There you go
And I record their songs
So they always have one song done
That's always the main goal for me is to get somebody with material

(05:56):
Give them the material that they need and then let's see where they can get to from there
I usually end up recording two to three songs with them before I let them go in the room
But it's never like you belong here
It's like, yeah man, like here take this stuff
Do with it as you please and let's see where it takes you

(06:17):
And it's helped out a lot of artists, a lot of people, like young water
I gotta say, working with him has been a big opportunity for me
It's helped me out a lot
I met Mike through the open mic nights
He's one of the hosts for the Flying Walrus
And your artists that are trying to get out there and stuff like that
That's like an open space for new open coming artists to get their names out there, you feel me?

(06:42):
And that's how I started working with them
And it's been helping me out a lot
And I'm gonna continue doing more music with them, more stuff, you feel me?
And I hope it gets bigger and bigger, you feel me?
That's awesome, that's great
So how about yourself? Tell us a little bit about yourself
Myself, my name is Ricky G. Once again, I've been producing for at least 20 years

(07:06):
I've been doing it for a while, before anything I was a musician as well
Just like Mike, I was touring musician playing with saucepans and doing jazz and stuff like that
Got back into the groove of working in the studio
Got my bachelor and master's degree in audio and mastering engineering at Full Sail
And I was in the game, one of their teachers at the time

(07:27):
And I came back to the valley where it was calling me and we got back into the game
And Mike came like, yo, now I'm studying, now I'm in school, there's something about it
And he came back in perfect timing, we linked up and everything just magically started appearing
That's awesome, dude, that's awesome
And thankfully it's been grateful and meeting you, seeing all these cats come in to find Walrus
And now it's been an awesome experience, cause you get to see an experience different creativity

(07:53):
I know one of our guests is a little jumpy right now, he's making over his shoulder
He's like, Benjy, he's talking about it
Where is he?
We're talking about some stuff before and which we'll get into later on, we'll get into the second half
But let's talk about it here first
Let's talk about it here first

(08:14):
Let the young ones that are in the room listen to exactly who you guys are, you run out and just talk to them
Before you go now, pretty much a little smoke screen
Scoop!
No, but so coming back as far as we interviewed Walrus last time he was here, we were talking about trying to climb the ladder to get to where you're at right now

(08:36):
It's a success and fortunately it's slowly happening
Being a producer, being a lead guy for a studio or label itself
Or a new artist that's walking into this industry
How do you feel the industry here in the RGV looks like for you guys?
I know it's tough, anybody, any musician can say out there, man if I can be big in my hometown, in my area, I can make it anywhere

(09:06):
But here it's kind of different cause it's a vice versa reaction to us here
It's a very sensitive topic
Yes, it is
It's multicultural, so you've got multiple people listening to different types of music
Trying to figure out which genre is going to be the one genre that's going to hit that niche in this area
Exactly, so the years that you've seen it now that you've been back trying to get the groove running

(09:33):
What are the obstacles that you see that sometimes you know what, you're going to have to bite the bullet here
We're going to have to maybe cut a corner here
I know we want to go buy the book, but sometimes you just got to do what you got to do to get out there
What is your analogy or your analysis on that?
Well as far as like cutting corners and stuff

(09:54):
That's always been like, cause we don't cut no corners in the studio
For say music wise, we always do everything full
It's when we get to the video production, we get to doing the videos and we don't have that kind of help
So we're not charging the artists and we're putting out the money for that
So we can't just dish like a thousand dollars out to a videographer to make a video for one of our artists

(10:20):
So there's where we end up having to cut some corners to try and just get some material out
Like unbelievable, like being able to release a song without a music video on it
Because it won't get the kind of traction
And it just sells better when they can see what they're listening to
We can promote that on TikTok, on YouTube, on Facebook, what have you

(10:41):
So usually when it gets to the production side of videos, we end up having to figure things out
Luckily we've had some videographers meet us in the middle
They see what we're doing, let's help them out
I believe in this project, let me help you believe in it too
And let's see where we can go with it
One of our last videos we did was with a band called Colego Alea

(11:05):
And they're at like 300,000 views right now
And they didn't have the finances or any of that to put the video together
But we got together with a videographer and they get 500,000, 300,000
300,000 views
And climbing
And climbing
Wow
And they've worked with all kinds of other videographers and studios

(11:27):
But all those other videos are like 5,000 views, 6,000 views, 10,000 views
I think one of them is like 90,000
So like this one from our studio
And it's been their biggest hit
And I feel like it had a lot to do with the quality
And even of the video itself, the videographers that we got

(11:49):
They had this idea that we were just like, yeah, let's run with it
And we shot everything in the hood
Basically like 5 minutes from the studio we had this kind of release
So you can see the studio
And they flew it drone over the studio and they flew it into the studio
Oh wow
It's cool, it's cool
Because it doesn't look like a studio from the outside and as soon as you're flying

(12:13):
You see the booths, the bar, the lights, neons and everything
Right, right, right
So it's almost like you get immersed into another realm music
Right, exactly
But that's the only place that I see us usually cutting corners with it
As far as obstacles, it's always about preference of the listener
And a lot of times people down here, they say they like classic rock

(12:38):
But they like some classic rock songs
Right, right, right, right
Or they like rap, but they like just some songs
So like trying to find the balance between taking little nuances from songs that they like
And putting them together and selling that new product
Right
So that's our obstacle down here, we're going to the public down here

(13:01):
But you go up north
That was my next question
You go to the west or the east and you have to go to Texas
Yeah, that's where it starts
And that's where it starts
And that's what I was going to ask you since you've been a traveling musician yourself
You've been practically either the whole state of Texas, the honest state of Texas, wherever
And the genres of music is different from what we are used to here

(13:23):
Yeah, it's always like that
When you're up there listening to this style, do you try to bring that down?
I try to incorporate a little bit of something new
That way we can kind of, and I bring it peacefully
That way people don't get feeling like the whole beat is going to be like over and over
I kind of bring it into the beat slightly, that way people feel it
And then they don't get like over encompassed

(13:44):
Because sometimes if you keep putting that same time of people just
But if you throw it in there slightly and then pull it out of the song
Then everyone kind of starts, you know, they get attracted to it
And going back to that, working alongside this guy on the album
It's been amazing, it's quality wise everything, I've heard it, it sounds amazing

(14:06):
I can't wait to officially drop it, I know I've been delaying it for some time and stuff like that
But now I'm officially like, okay it's ready, I want to drop this
And it's going to be out on all platforms
Well let's take it back to day one when you jumped into the studio and started doing this album
What was your reaction going first of all, the first song?
Because I know doing it, being in the studio, doing the recording

(14:29):
And Quest can be the same thing when you're doing music wise
It's very critical to every little thing you do, you got to hit the right note
You got to be on tempo, you got to be on the money at all costs
That's why I fall in love with this guy, music, because he's very diverse, I like that
That's why I was always changing, so the way I came up with Water Mania was I was watching wrestling

(14:51):
And you feel me, like every main event is WrestleMania, you know what I'm saying
So I'm making this as like, that's going to be the main event, you feel me?
Right
And when I started, when I got into the studio with this guy, when I started
I was kind of like, okay you know what, we're just going to make some hits and that's it
But hearing the final product, hearing the album itself, it changes, it varies

(15:13):
You know, it's not, you're not going to get the same song every time you feel me
It's going to be different, it's emotion wise, it hits you emotionally
Out of all the songs you've done for your album, hold on, hold on
I got a buddy of mine here, it's Louie bro, it's Louie, he's leading me up here
Our number one fan here, I'm sorry Louie, here we go, one, two, three, AMA!
There you go Louie, and Louie's asking, what about the song AMA?

(15:37):
I don't know, I cannot be done, out of, sorry guys
You gotta get a proposal, rock and roll J did a provocal, this is true, come on now
This is true
So, all the songs that you've done, that you've done for this album, which one, there's always got to be that one song
That you're like, you've done it so many times already, and you just, you're like, why do we have this song in here?

(16:04):
I know I wrote the damn thing, but why do I have to, is there one song, can you see that one song?
That you struggle with, and you're like, oh, is usually the one that...
It was like the hardest song to work on?
What was the hardest song to work on, man?
I mean, usually when I go into the studio bro, it's really in and out, you know, like, I get it done as you know, real quick, right there

(16:32):
Man, I gotta say, the needy of it, I think was far away to make the best
Yeah, that was like the most, it's a two-part song, so you're gonna get the first part, and then it's the second part
So, in the first part, I talk about, in that song, it's more about, I lost some friends, I had some friends that passed away back then, you know

(16:57):
And I made this song dedicated to them, you feel me?
And it was hard, it was hard making the song, because I had to put my emotion into it, and I had to think about, you know, go back and think about that day, you feel me?
So, I mean, it's a really amazing song, I can't wait for everybody to hear it, like I said, it's a two-part thing, so the first part's just me, and then the second part is featuring Jesse Jackson

(17:20):
So he talks about his uncle passing away as well too, so yeah, that's awesome
Yeah, and I've been working alongside with Jesse Jackson on all my projects and stuff like that, we have a lot of features coming out, a lot of valley rappers, valley artists that we've been working with and stuff like that
I have a feature coming up with Conjuring, the reggaeton artist, pretty soon, so I can't wait for that one as well

(17:46):
Awesome
These guys produced it for me, so, you know what I'm saying, like, it's a hit, it's one of the ones
Awesome, now being the new artist, looking from the outside in, seeing him in the studio working, what's going through your mind as far as, like, wow, I mean, this is all happening in front of me, are you, at the same time you're watching this, are you taking notes, trying to say, you know what, I need to be on point when it's my turn to get in there

(18:13):
I mean, what are your thoughts on that?
Well, my thoughts, I've had the honor to work alongside these gentlemen and be in the studio with Waters, it's all work, no playing, like, these gentlemen really just go in there and they nip it in the bud and each time they do, it's just, they don't stop
Even if they get something wrong, they're like, we'll perfect it in a moment, we'll perfect it, we'll come back to it, however, let's just keep going because we don't know what else we can create or get from this moment

(18:42):
Right, right, right here
Yeah, that's the good thing when you have a group of people together in a studio, you know, there's so much brainstorming going on
Having, yeah, it's more like having a team of individuals that are on the same damn page, they have the same vision
Yeah, and the cool part about Mike's studio is, like, you be chilling at the studio and a whole band will come in, you know what I'm saying?

(19:05):
Like, a lot of artists, you know what I'm saying? Like, a whole band will be jamming out there and they'll be like, hey, can you add a part to this song? Or can you do this? And they'll be like, yeah, like, I'll stick around, like, I don't mind putting in the work, you feel me?
So they'll be cooking up a beat and they'll be like, they'll bring like a live saxophone or they'll bring like a live piano is or something like that, you know?
You got the piano guy, he has a little mucky in his shoulder, what the hell?

(19:26):
Is that mucky doing anything?
I'll flick out there, bro!
You got a mucky on!
You know what I'm gonna say, behind us we won't be scared of you.
I'll block the way.
Pop on inside your shoulder, it's okay.
And going back to, like, people coming into the studio, I want to give a big shout out to Wes. He was on the piano for Fly Away.

(19:52):
It came out really, really solid. Like, his piano part was amazing.
It brought in the song together, it tied everything in, you know?
That was one of those last minute add-ons to this, because I brought it in because we were doing some work for this Broadway in Colorado.
He was gonna record some parts so I could send out to them.
And Water was like, you know, hey, what if we did something like they're working on a song and I'm like, hey, you know what, we'll tie those songs together, live piano, let's throw it in there and try to doubt and Wes Lee's, he's just a straight badass.

(20:24):
He picked up the song real quick, he's like, let's just do it real quick so we can work on some other stuff.
And I was like, what? And then it ended up being like, wow.
He's like, let me hit it again and again and again and again and we finally got to something that we can do.
And even Mike throws live, because he plays the bass, he plays other instruments as well, but there are songs that Mike's have thrown in like bass, you know, on his own.

(20:46):
So he brings everything when it comes to music, he has it all.
Yeah, he's the glue to this, bro, you know what I'm saying?
You gotta have that one person's the glue when it comes to this, that's true.
That's it most definitely, man.
Down to earth.
Did you have any questions you want to talk about?
Oh man, I'm just hearing all this information.
I'm reacting to your music, more music from you guys.

(21:11):
I mean, I've heard music from you and I'm a fan, bro.
I appreciate you, bro.
We also make jingles, so if you guys need a jingle, do it.
It's awesome, it's interesting.
Yeah, you give us a reference if you got you.
Something to do with a monkey.
I played their jingles not too long ago.
I don't know, but it's an old one.

(21:33):
I think he's trying to give us a hint, you changed your shit, you know?
Your shit is just messed up.
You used to be a logman?
Like before?
Yeah, I've been in multiple bands actually, I've been with all from like non-bands.
You know, Kali Karanza?
Yes!
I played with her.

(21:54):
Oh shit, you're even familiar.
You guys are insane.
I played with music, I played with...
What is that?
Bucking Crazy, I played with her.
Oh shit, you know Roy then?
Oh yeah, I know Roy.
Yeah, Roy and I graduated together.
Yeah, you graduated with my sister.
I think Uncle Bucking Crazy too.

(22:16):
I don't know, I don't know.
Everybody knows Bucking Crazy is very easy.
I played with him for about a year, and then I played with Mark Berryman.
I played with Ricky Jankowski and Desert Bloom.
And that is why he is the group.
Yeah, he's the group.
There's just a couple of the names that I played with.

(22:37):
I was music director for C. Codemano's Vazquez for seven years.
I worked in Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas for three years.
America's Got Talent for one.
There you go.
And I was music director for all of those shows.
That's freaking awesome dude, there you go, all around.
Just not back from the bottom.
The glue man.
For water and the young lady here with us today, to be surrounded by two gentlemen that have actually been on the road,

(23:05):
been there, done that, and to actually have stuff under their belt.
Exactly, but the beautiful thing is that them sharing the experience of what to expect when you're out there.
Because there's so many musicians that have gone out there, that have been out there on their own.
They've made it big, they've played in big bands, and they come back and you have these young guys,

(23:28):
hey man, I want to do what you do.
It takes a lot of work.
Yeah.
Okay, well show me.
Well, if I did it, you need to learn.
No, no, you gotta give back.
You gotta say, okay man, I'm gonna show you the steps.
But don't forget who shows you the steps.
You know, give gratitude back.
You know what I mean?
And I think a lot of musicians, me and myself musicians myself, we tend to like, alright man,

(23:54):
I'm showing you the steps, please show me just a little gratitude when you make it big.
Or if for some reason you get hurt somewhere, hey man, I want to say thank you.
You know, just something.
It doesn't have to be like a big gesture.
Yeah, you know, but just, exactly.
Don't forget about the little guy.
Oh, just come back to your roots is what I say.
Exactly, yeah.
Stay close to your roots.
Exactly.

(24:15):
No matter how much your roots don't, how can I say, it's being blood.
I'm just saying, my opinion, no matter how much your roots don't like what you're serving,
but in time, it becomes something that everybody wants and they end up liking it too.
Exactly.
It's okay.
It's alright.
So come back to your roots, change it.
Yeah.
Change that pattern.
Where's Black?
I don't know, I'm just saying.

(24:36):
Red 2020.
Red 2020.
No gas prices.
No gas prices.
Buy the bag and hide.
No, buy.
It's crazy, you said that actually, because that makes a lot of sense to me, because
when I first was here before I left and did all that stuff, I had already given up on
music and started becoming a firefighter.

(24:57):
Right.
I was going through that whole process of doing a firefighter, because there was no gigs
for me.
Nobody liked the way I played, because I would play too much and I would add too much and
turn everything into a solo, turn everything into like, oh, why is he playing the guitar
party as the bass player?
You know, like, solo, like, nobody wanted to work with me, nobody wanted to work with

(25:19):
me, hire me or any of that stuff.
And then I get called to go audition for the circus and it's just like, oh yeah, we want
you to play that here and we want more of that.
And yeah, let's go, and New York is like, everybody's crazy, LA everybody is crazy.
And then Las Vegas, it's like a huge variety of musicians out there.
It's like super fucking amazing musicians that you'd be hanging out with at the bar and you

(25:43):
don't know this guy, he plays drums for Marcus Miller, this guy took the Johnny Johnson show
over here and it's just like, what?
And then it's like musicians that are beyond subpoena.
And it's like, it's a huge gap in Vegas.
But about, you know, what you said about the roots is I asked my dad to show me how to

(26:04):
play guitar and he was like, no, you gotta learn.
You gotta learn how I learned.
So I was like, yeah, that's true.
That happens.
Yeah, I was forced to learn how to play the accordion but it didn't happen.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I can't.
I didn't want to be a dad player.
I learned how to play the mananita.
That's all I know.

(26:25):
That's all I know.
That's all I know.
I can't speak my fucking language.
I tried.
I tried.
I tried.
I started seeing MTV and I started seeing L'Accu, Jay started seeing Dupont, all this stuff.
My heart is R&B.
But when I started seeing Brighton McKnight, when I started seeing, you know, Michael Jackson,

(26:48):
Pop, all this stuff, like all that stuff, I just fell in love with music.
And it was just like I was setting in when I was getting here, like what I'm trying
to go for is more of the R&B melodic style.
You feel me?
I like rap, but I like that that's gonna catch your attention.
That's why you're catching my attention.
Yeah, yeah.
So like you gotta have that hook that's gonna be like catchy.
They're gonna be like, I want to hear that.

(27:09):
I'll throw a name in.
I'm not sure what his status is here in the R&B now, but a young kid, I think he's from
McCallum by the name of Courtside Jay.
Oh yeah.
And the kid, when I first met him, he came to the podcast and he says, yeah, man, I
got my music.
It's doing well.
Yeah.
I go, do well here.

(27:29):
He goes, no, it's really big in Italy.
It's really big.
And he was showing me the numbers.
I'm like, shit, dude, that's crazy.
And then through the years, we brought him back to the podcast when we were in the other
studio and I saw like total different change.
I'm like, wow, this kid coming out of left field with this music.
And then now I see him now even more when he's releasing more stuff like, Jesus, this

(27:52):
kid has it.
Why hasn't anybody like a track here, like a track that you put out could be a rock here
in the valley overseas.
It could be a gem.
Yes.
You know, it's true.
Definitely.
I mean, I don't want to sound boy bandaged, but look at the backstreet boys.
Yeah.
Nobody wanted them here in the U.S. Nobody was hearing it.
They went for Germany out there.

(28:12):
England.
England.
And became a blue up dude.
Yeah.
Over here.
I like it.
Pick up the chat.
Yeah.
Pick up the chat.
Give it a try.
So being on the road yourself, seeing all these musicians, I mean, how was your portrayal
on that?
I mean, as far as playing with all the different bands you were, I mean.
It was an experience.
My thing was I always loved to go to the engineers and pick their brains because I want to know

(28:35):
why do I sound so good.
And mostly, you know, you want to know why they're doing their job.
Right.
You know, and me being a master engineer and knowing the job itself, it's always good
to see what the live guys doing.
Right.
I try my best to like always say hi to those guys and always be the best because I know
those guys can make your show or can break your show.
Exactly.
So, you know, my thing was always they go take care of the engineers, how they're doing.

(28:56):
And that's what my thing was on the gig.
People to know them.
And then I would scuffle with the musicians and see who's the dick and who's not.
Because that's how it is.
You know, sometimes you'll be there and one hasn't added to you.
You don't know.
And you're like, oh, shit, you came up from the wrong.
You said you're wrong.
There you go, okay, Joe Upi ain't it?

(29:23):
Yes.
The pressure case in the colonies dreams ones stores.
I remember the other one with four strings.
Remember that, bro, so you can have a good time.
Yeah, I've heard.
My cousin and I were in a band together.

(29:43):
We always picked up one of my friends, Steve,
and a great bass player, a great jazz blues player.
And when we played the music, he was like,
yeah, now you think you're all badass because you're a bass player.
So he went out of left field and he goes,
all right, fucker, you think I'm not a good player?
All right.
A week later, he comes back with a fretless bass.
And we're looking at him like, what the fuck is that?

(30:06):
It's a fretless bass, bitch.
Why don't you try playing it?
I'm all like, hey, man, this is hard.
You're going to...
That's right.
Recognize motherfuckers.
So I'm like, wow, okay, I'm there fucking with you.
I'll shut up now.
But yeah, dude, I mean, that's great to have all you guys here, man.

(30:27):
The musician to see that the RGV music scene is still alive and running.
And it's been pumping since I was a kid, man.
So I mean, it's great to know that the many genres are coming out of the RGV.
Yeah, I guess.
Different genres.
So I know the week we were supposed to have you here.
And I was like, bro, I can't do it this week.
Sorry.
I'm gonna die.

(30:48):
I was like, the right little fever.
I didn't want to say anything, but I'm right a little fever.
And then last week, Choo got sick.
So he was still sick this week also.
So we thought, you know what, now you're gonna transit.
Man, I really wanted to meet you this time.
Trust me, I'll meet you dodge a bullet.
Ah!
He's alive.
He's alive.
Seven foot of nothing.
But uh, with one leg missing.

(31:11):
And one eye.
Ah!
Man.
You should be in your senior in the circus.
Ah!
You know what?
This is gonna be like two fights.
You should understand.
I did.
I said, what's up, Sean Loewy to the podcast.
Watch what's going on, Sean.
Oh, Sean!

(31:32):
This weekend, baby!
This weekend is coming.
I smell it.
I saw your post.
I smell it coming.
We're gonna pay the comedores?
Latter-riching comedores?
Latter-riching comedores?
Pigeons.
Oh my God.
But anyways, that's football.
We're not going there.
Jesus Christ, can't even go into the fact that other things are happening.

(31:55):
But uh, guys, stay tuned for me.
We're gonna take some commercial break real quick.
I'm not selling my sponsor because you gotta pay bills.
Oh yeah.
But enjoy the one of our sponsors, uh, delicacies that he gave us this week.
One of our great sponsors, uh, and I'll get to that if you want to go and jump into that.
You'll be all kind of right.
Now, here we go.

Licensed plumbers.
Uh, since the freeze came along, I'm pretty sure some people out there residential are

(32:38):
looking for plumbers because there's a lot of pipes out there.
That's the same commercial you made.
They're looking like magic lights.
Hey, guys.
Do not believe what you see in the commercial, guys.
I made that commercial for them.
Do not believe what you saw in the commercial.
Even though we got the commercial, it was a male escort.
I know.
Even though they did receive a phone call saying, guys, we need a clean room pipe.
We need you guys to come up, but please keep your shirts and your pants on.

(33:02):
We just need to get a hose fixed.
But, uh, by the way, that, that, that, that in particular video is still hitting big on
TikTok.
But, uh, give them a call, guys, like I said, uh, let them know Choo, New Century, and don't
forget, your crap is there bread and butter.

So I ran into Milo during Fresco.
Uh-huh.
And he said, hey, baby.

Did you get back?
Ice.
We get back to, we get back to Lou.
And I'm like, no, I didn't see any back.

(34:33):
Don't lie to him, Milo.
Don't lie to him, buddy.
So what is it, man?
What it should be.
Milo's Kettle Corn, extra crunchy, extra fun.
He does fundraisers, local events.
Also, shoot, he does a lot of stuff, man.
Great guy, man.
He's always in Fresco.

(34:54):
He has always in Fresco.
By the way, February, which is coming up, will be the last Fresco here in Westsacow, Texas.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, next month.
Last month.
Why?
That's the way it's up, because onion fests come after that.
Oh, yeah, man.
They're all that great stuff.
So if you get a chance, look for Model Gold.

little venues and tour dates you're gonna be having coming up.
And especially also for the young lady here when her next stuff is coming up also.
So we'll get that in a minute.
But topics of the day, well, the one that's really running through the podcast right now,

(37:06):
we really want to go in there.
The gentleman in the great jacket's been hugging the pillow all this time.
Oh, we're talking about that.
He's been iffy iffy.
He just found out that we do have a little extra guest.
Well, she's been a studio guest since we moved in here.

(37:27):
You know, she likes to play around with the lights, mess around.
You know what we say it was a podcast that God's are messing with our audio.
No, it was the little girl that's here that usually runs around and pushes the buttons
on us here.
So, but, yeah, the, we don't recommend anybody to come and if I say you're here, you need
to ask permission from the owners first.

(37:48):
We learned the hard way.
Yeah, we learned the hard way.
We learned the hard way.
But almost.
Almost.
But an order for you to do anything like that if you need to call the main office and ask
and there's got to be paperwork filled and all that good stuff.
But yes, there is a story within the building here.

(38:13):
It's a very old building.
It's been around since I believe 1902, 1903.
Don't, don't, don't quote my words.
I'm not sure exactly what year it's been a, it was started out.
It's a hotel.
Yeah.
It's a whole start off as a hotel and it was one of the first hotels in the inner RGV,
which we belong exactly for Westsac Co.
Before even Donna wasn't even established.

(38:34):
So this was a key point for a lot of great, not very important people that would stop
here.
Like similar to the San Juan, which we actually did an investigation there also, which was
eh, but we had a lot of problems.
I think it was the scariest, the people that we feared is the people that were alive.

(38:57):
Yeah.
The homeless guy came out and saw him do it and he was like, how can you do all this?
Ah damn!
Damn, bro, it's all right.
How much electricity did my wife, no.
She's cold.
She could get this for like a year stop, right?
It was a carriage stop because that's all the way through, right?
It's all the way through.
It was just two levels, man.

(39:18):
Two or three.
San Juan?
San Juan, two levels, right?
Two.
It was crazy, man.
It was a crazy experience up there, but we're talking about ghost experiences and you
say there's a little thing in your studio that's a mirror.
It's a big mirror.
It's a big mirror.
It's a pretty big mirror.
It was a, it was a mirror on a dresser.

(39:40):
The dresser we partnered ways with because it was just real old.
Then I thought it would be a great idea to keep the mirror and put it inside the boat.
I've seen so many artists that have come in to record and they're singing directly into
the mirror.
They're looking into the mirror and they're just singing and all the stuff.

(40:02):
Then as of recent, a lot of the artists that have been going to the studio, they're like,
turn off the lights when I'm in here and be singing and stuff.
So I'm just like, okay, I guess.
I mean, there's lights for a reason, but darling.
But when we'll be there alone, we'll see people walking in front of the mirror or somebody
looking out from the mirror.

(40:24):
We have a big window in our mastering room and as we're working and looking out into
the other booths, we'll see somebody walk past and then they don't continue walking
past.
It's like, oh, shh.
This happened to a bunch of the guys that worked there.
It's happened to myself a lot.
It happened to us together.
We thought it was your dad.
I was like, this is a tall, last person walking.

(40:45):
This is a tall man.
My dad is.
This is a tall man.
So I was like, dude, this is a really tall ghost.
I saw the big shadow.
Me and me, I get up at the studio, dad, walk out and I'm literally looking for this person.
I literally saw the shadow.
I was like, dude, this shadow was huge.
Then he was like, dude, I think I saw it as well.
I was like, it literally just went back, came back.
I have a crazy ghost experience.
I really did.

(41:06):
So it was this, I was little, bro.
I was like, I got to say like seven years old, you know, maybe younger, you feel me?
This is over there in my hometown, the Rio Grande City, where I live.
There's a cemetery right behind my house, you feel me?
So I would always go to my friend's house, you know, like right across the street.

(41:27):
We met in school and stuff like that.
And I didn't know he was my neighbor.
And every day I would go over to his house, you know, we'll play games, you know, we'll play outside and stuff like that.
And so this one time, like we would always do this thing where we would play like ghost hunters, you know, like do that crazy shit.
But we would do it at night, you know, and the craziest thing, bro.
So I was walking over to his house, right?

(41:49):
And at the, across the street, there's this, it cuts into a Y close to where my house is, right?
So there's this like old school tire that's like right over there on the other side.
And as I was walking, I made no like, you know, think about it.
Like I saw somebody standing in the middle and I was like, oh, it's probably like, you know, one of their, you know, kids or something just playing around, whatever.

(42:15):
So as I was walking, I was walking across the street to go knock on my friend's door.
And I just saw a girl just standing there and I was like, okay, this is weird.
So I knock on his door and he opens the door and I'm like, hey, bro, am I tripping?
I don't know. Is this just me or you know, whatever.
And he was like, he was like, what is it bro?
And I was like, do you see that girl that's standing right over there across the street?

(42:38):
And granted it was like 10 o'clock at night, like, you know, 12 o'clock at night.
Right, right.
And he was like, he did one of those where you like peeped like the other side of the door, you know what I'm saying?
And he was like, what kind of recover were you at?
And he checked and he was like, yeah, I see her too.
So I was like, okay, bet that's crazy. Okay.
And we were trying to say, hey, like, you know, we thought she was lost or something, but she had like her hair like over her face.

(43:04):
And she had like an old school like dress, you know, with like a pink bow, like every she looked old school.
Yeah, I'll walk to the wedding.
I'll walk out.
No, this is outside.
So we're getting we're kind of getting close and we're like, hey, like where your parents are like, you know, do you know where she's at or not like no response, no response.
So eventually, like, right before we get to the road, a bus comes bro like real fast.

(43:28):
And the bus just passed, you know, and she was gone.
She was gone.
It was real grand.
Oh, I take you have you gone to the board hotel?
Oh, yeah, I've seen it. Yeah.
Have you spent the night in there?
I haven't spent the night.
That's crazy.
I want to ask a question.
I have a question.
This mirror that you have in your studio, whose idea was to put the mirror in there?

(43:51):
It was my idea.
Really?
It was my idea.
Really?
Like I don't know why.
If you are really Mike, if you are really Mike, I think I know why you're really Mike.
The reason why he had it on, he was into this bad boy here.
I bet you when you put the mirror on, he had this little ring.
You know what I mean?
I'm not a bad boy.

(44:13):
I'm not a bad boy.
By the way, I don't know the rice in this sauce.
If you don't know the song, look it up.
What on the sporad to the bone?
Did you have a hole somewhere?
It puts a lotion on, Lizzie.
It puts a lotion on the skin or else it gets the hose again.

(44:35):
The hole wasn't that big.
Give me the hole, bloody!
Oh my God, one of the creepiest movies I've ever seen on my life.
You know what I'm surprised, I'm real grand city and you never gone to that hotel?
I mean I've gone to it, I just never stayed there, you feel me?
I don't know why I'm not going to say there, but we, the ghost group that I'm in, the paranormal group that I'm in,

(45:02):
we rented out the whole hotel.
Oh that's awesome.
And we stayed there dude, and it was crazy.
That's not the only thing that's haunted though, there's also the school in the Fort Ringgold.
Yeah, and also that school in Fort Ringgold is also haunted.
Yeah man.
What school?
It's one of the schools in the, I think it's a Ringgold, middle school, or like the Ringgold school, whatever.

(45:28):
There's a school in there that's really old and they don't let nobody, because there's a fence around it, it used to be a fort,
but there's a fence around it and stuff like that, and the building's out of commission, it's broke down and stuff like that.
That's crazy.
But they don't let anybody just go to that side of the fence.
Right, right, right.
That's crazy.
My brother too, my brother was crazy.

(45:50):
Yeah, absolutely.
So experiences of any ghost, you think you're some sort of brownsville?
Yeah, I was with a veteran, so I was with a bunch of Marines.
We did a thing for a very veteran.
Oh by the way, thank you for your service.
Thank you so much.
They guys were like, hey, let's do this ghost adventure type of thing with a bunch of Marines, and like it's going to be like a little retreat.
It's paid for, so we went and they got, they got, it was a license for that battle area out there.

(46:11):
Right, yeah.
And we went out there at night, and which is usually closed off.
Exactly.
So they bought a ticket for that and we were out there, and I swear we were here in Cannon Fire, bro.
Like I was out there and I'm a Mortarman and I've shot weapons and I'm like, girl, the night that we were out there,
I could definitely sound like there was Cannon Fire in that area.
Right, right, right.
And it's way out there, bro.

(46:32):
It's like deathly hell.
It's crazy.
And I was like, man, it was the Spanish war and nothing is touched.
Like no one's allowed to touch the area.
You can't take rocks with you or anything.
Like they're like, you take a rock with you, just see what's happening.
You got me in Hawaii, man.
I'll take you right now.
I'm like, no, man, when they tell you that, I was like, no, I won't pick up any rocks or anything.
Never tell anyone.
It felt like we were out there.

(46:57):
It felt really sad, bro.
We got enough.
We got enough.
No, I know.
I've heard stories of people that go out there and have a lawyer friend of mine who sometimes does a little ghost investigation,
and he's gone out there on his own, and he says that it's real heavy.
It's like sad as hell.

(47:18):
That sense of sadness.
And he walks through the areas, you know, and I'm like, dude, I would love to go out there and go check that out.
He goes, yeah, we'll get one of them.
We're supposed to go, but something happened and it didn't happen.
So like, no, we're not going out.
Exactly.
Exactly.
They do have to have it for a reason, man.

(47:39):
So I mean, as far as tour dates, water, is there anything big coming up on the way?
Yeah, so I might be going to the Dominican Republic with my boy Mike here,
pretty soon, so we're going to be out there, me and Jesse Jackson unknown.

(48:00):
It's going to be a big experience, you know, this is something different for me.
It's not mine.
No, yeah, we are going to, yeah.
Oh, we're going.
We're going.
I'm already going to be there, so.
Yeah.
Yeah, we're going to hopefully try to take the Dominican Republic by storm and you fill me with our music.
There you go.
There you go.
Different for their culture.
Yeah, there you go, man.

(48:21):
Yeah, I mean, you got to test the waters everywhere, you know, that's the whole point of it.
No pun intended.
No pun intended.
No pun intended.
You got to test the waters everywhere.
No pun intended.
But as far as yourself, is there anything coming up?
Yes, actually, I will be playing a show later next week at Roosevelt 7 in McAllen, Texas on Main Street.

(48:44):
There you go.
Go check her out.
And got hired by a wonderful musician.
His name is Gene Wenees.
There's going to be about seven of us performing.
My set time will be at 10 o'clock.
So if you guys have some free time, come down to McAllen, Texas and feel free to come to Roosevelt.
That's all I'm going to do.
I want to make a couple shout outs.
I got my boy, shout out René, shout out Remy, shout out Janet, shout out Melissa.

(49:07):
All y'all from Rio, y'all are real.
Why don't they watch in the podcast, bro?
Why?
Get on there.
Oh my God.
Go check out Chew and Do.
No, that's cool man.
Come next time.
Shout out Gable too.
Got two.
Shout out Risky Dog.
As far as the stuff going on.
All Risky, come to Risky.

(49:29):
That's going on now with, as far as your production goal and what you got rolling here for these young, young people.
Young artists, is there any words of encouragement for them when they're finally going to step on the stage?
Or what do you, they're not always like a pep talk before they go on.
Like before they go on stage?

(49:51):
Yeah, before they roam off the night.
Oh my God.
Dear job.
Like for when I do like the big productions and stuff like that, like it's, I try to make it feel like, you know, it's all about fun, you know.
It's all about the, it is a job.
And like when performing for artists that are doing like circus acts, like that could be detrimental to them.

(50:14):
Like, because they are like the eights left and shit this music for rehearsing.
And so they're highly tuned to certain hits that they're expecting in their songs.
But to my guys, I don't want them to feel like, oh, that's pressure.
Like it's like, it's another day, you know, like we do 550 shows a year.
Like it's going to be nothing.

(50:36):
Another walk in the park, 14 shows a week sometimes.
So it would just be like, yeah, just let's just do it, you know, let's get on stage.
Yeah, like a mess.
It's going to be waiting for us after the show.
But like for the guys down here that it's, it's a little rougher because they're not, they don't have the crowd that's paying $80 a ticket, $200 a ticket.
Right.
And when somebody spends that kind of money or they get free tickets for a show like that, they tend to enjoy it or be harsh, harsh critics about it.

(51:03):
But out here, whether they pay for it or not, they're going to criticize you up and down.
Right.
So like the boys out here is just like, just to like get it, get it done.
Like we just got to do it.
It's the next step, step to the next show.
Right.
I never really have to like pep them up before anything like that.
They're usually already picking themselves up because they all know what it is.

(51:27):
You know, they're experienced.
Game time game for a minute.
Yeah, every time we step on the stage, you got to give it your all. You feel me? You can't just go in there half-assed it.
You got to give it your all.
And even like me, like since I've been performing, I've done shows where there's little to nobody there and like I still go out there and perform like I had a crowd in front of me.
I consider that practice.
Yeah.
There's one thing that I will say that like I always try to live by it.

(51:51):
I always try to force that onto my musicians is like perform every show like it's your last show.
Yeah.
Because you never know.
You never know who's there.
And this happened to me.
That's why I got picked up for Soleil.
I was working in New York and obviously when New York is a bigger opportunity place, you know, like there's a lot more, more eyes to be on you.
But me being just a music director, like 30 feet up on this stage, playing, doing my stuff, I had an employee come up to me after the show and he's like, this guy wants to talk to you in the front.

(52:20):
And I was like, okay, that's cool.
I'm like that.
I'm going to go again.
No, and I go and I speak to this guy and he's there with his family and I'm like, oh, it's just compliments.
Right.
I'm just thinking like that.
And he puts his kid down, pushes his family aside.
He's like, look, I need to talk to you.

(52:41):
I came looking for artists to perform in a show that I'm making and I couldn't keep my eyes off of your performance all night.
Like I see what you were doing.
This is the second time I come to watch a show.
I had to fly to Vegas to get my family come back just to watch the show again.
And I was just like, why would you do that?
Like, why would you do that?

(53:02):
And he was like, offering me the job.
Right.
And you know, like it's like what always happens like at first you just like, I've been offered so many things so many times, so many different places, so many different places.
And it's never turned into anything.
So I treated it like, okay, bro.
Right.
It sounds real nice and pretty and everything like that.
What's your name Sasha?

(53:23):
That's cool.
It's nice to meet you, bro.
I'm glad you enjoyed the show.
You're in your family.
You all have a great day.
Thank you so much.
And he's like, no, please text me right now your phone number.
And I was like, yeah, no text.
It's fine.
Send me a text.
He's like, I'm going to get you in contract.
I'm going to email you a contract tomorrow and all these things.
Right, right, right.
And it didn't happen.
And I was just like it blew my mind because it's stuff like that that you only see happen in like TV shows, movies, whatever.

(53:49):
And it's like, oh shit, that your friends tell you.
And it's like that shit happened to me.
And I was like, damn, I'm glad I was like living by that fact to play every show.
Like it's my only show.
The only thing I can do today is the only thing I do like because what if tomorrow never comes?
And besides the biggest point was like, you never know who's watching.

(54:10):
All you need is one person or the right person.
Exactly.
Exactly.
I feel like personally as well when it comes to like community and the songs that we bring out into the public, you never know who it's going to resonate with.
You never know if someone's having a hard day coming out to come see you.
And they're like, you know what, your song, your music spoke to me and it made me feel better.
Or, hey, I actually had people come up to me.

(54:34):
There's a song that I wrote called Heaven's Door dedicated to my late father that passed away last year.
I've had people come up to me after that I sing that song and it's like, hey, I've lost a loved one.
Like I understand.
Like I empathize with you.
A little bit of the times I give people a hug because music is all about love.
You know, it's meant to be shared amongst everybody.
It's not something meant to be gate kept.

(54:55):
Right.
I hear you.
I hear you.
What do you stand on yours as far as the way it's coming down the line?
I mean, about the music.
It's coming beautifully.
Everything's peacefully.
It's coming in peace, man.
It's beautiful.
It's the puzzle pieces that we were missing and finally kind of coming together.
Right.
Musically and with artists and now the work too.
That we didn't have is coming into the work we needed.
It's beautiful.

(55:16):
It's a great feeling.
It's a great feeling.
And every day we're working, like every single day, like there's times where we go into the studio at 8 o'clock and we don't leave there until 7, 8 in the morning.
That's beautiful, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just straight, pure work.
Especially with me.
Jesse Jackson, he's seeing me right now.
But Jesse Jackson, we've both been going to the studio every single day, bro.

(55:40):
Like there's not a day that we don't miss.
It's just straight work, you know?
And that's all it is.
So I'll leave water for the last word.
Now that you have people that are in your path that are helping you towards your success, is there anything you want to say?
Yeah, well, I just want to say I'm very blessed for all the things I've done.

(56:03):
I was on the 9-5-6 Cyphers.
I did four of them.
I was the only rapper here in the RGV to be on four Cyphers.
You know, and then speaking about the Dominican Republic, I can't wait to go on tour to be with Mike, you know what I'm saying?
And, you know, it's something life-changing.
This is a big opportunity, you know?

(56:24):
You don't take something like this lightly, you feel me?
You don't get it every day.
But I do want to represent the valley as best as possible, as best as I can.
You know what I'm saying? Not only the valley, but myself, you know?
And represent these guys, you know?
They've been helping me along the way and I'm not going to forget them, you know?
It's like, I tell this guy every day, like, I'm going to be recording with y'all.
Like, when I make it, like, I don't need any other producer.

(56:46):
Like, I want to be working directly with you.
Exactly.
You know what I'm saying?
Because that's the vibe, you know?
That's just the thing I've been on, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah, man, it's just been a good journey, you feel me?
As far as everything that I've heard today about you all, like, you guys, you have a perfect team right here, bro.
Yeah.
Everybody has a role.
Yep.
You know?

(57:07):
So it's perfect.
You got it.
Start moving.
Yep.
That's what it's all about.
Yeah.
So, guys, we are 57 minutes into the podcast.
Nothing but fun today.
Same ghosts.
Same ghosts.
And a mirror where my buddy over here just has fun in front of it.
I just want to add one more thing, you know?
What's up, bro?

(57:29):
Yeah, I just want to say, you know, I just recently lost my grandpa.
Oh, okay, alright.
He passed away at 101 years old.
Yay, man!
He was a veteran.
He came out on the, he came out on New China 4 and everything like that.
Oh, wow.
They made it a big thing, bro.
New China New?
Yeah.
I got to see my cousins and stuff, you know?
It was a life-changing experience, but, you know...

(57:51):
101.
That's the great one.
He lived a great life, right?
He beat out Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter will honor you.
Whole-boy thing 101.
Yeah.
Damn.
It was crazy to see him, like, you know, memorializing because, you know, like, there was veterans
out there that were like, you know, they did the 21 Gun Salute and all that.
It was crazy seeing that.

(58:12):
You feel me?
Like, it's just...
That's crazy, man.
I'm 101.
101 years old, bro.
Mike Condolence is bro.
Yeah, I appreciate you.
I appreciate you.
I mean, Condolence is, I mean, celebrate his life for so long.
I would love to do this all week to 101.
Can that be better, man?
Can you imagine giving it 100, 100, 100, 100, 100, 100?
I'm hoping for 50, bro.
Well, I'm rounding there already, buddy, so this is not a big thing.

(58:36):
I'm almost there.
I'm almost there.
Not a big thing, but you can make it better.
Say it 43.
Yeah, watch it, I'm going to eat those.
