Speaker 3 (01:03):
Bud, What is up? How's it going?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Martins is the only taking back there. He's like, wait
a minute, Mars, won't you tell me a little bit
about yourself? Man?

Speaker 4 (01:13):
Well, man, I uh, I've moved here to the US
from Costa Rico about ten years ago, mostly.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
To pursue music.

Speaker 4 (01:23):
I say, for a few reasons, but mostly to pursue
music and expand you know, my knowledge of music and
guitar playing and composition.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah yeah, so hey listen man. So speaking of music,
your influences are Sublime, and what are some of the
other ones? Some other bands you were really big into.
I knew, I knew you had listened them in your bio.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
They they shift from time to times, but I mean
Sublime has been since the beginning for sure. Bob Harley
is a huge one currently. I really like Lawrence style
of writing. Before this last album, I was listening to
Cake a.

Speaker 5 (02:03):
Lot, which was okay, doing all right, yeah it's whatever
kind of uh in the moment, but I guess the
ones that have lasted for a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Yeah, i'd be Sublime and Bob Marley as well. I
listened to.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, oh yeah, definitely, man, I think I think that's
what it's definitely the new song, definitely for a flexed
at one hundred percent. You know, it does have a
little mixture of everything in there, and it's kind of
great though. I like that though. I like a lot
of people that take different parts of different songs and
piece them together.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
Man.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I think it's really great.

Speaker 4 (02:38):
Guys.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
If you haven't heard the new song, you need to
go check it out right now. I will put the
link down below in this video and for the audio
listeners when it makes it a side, I'll definitely have
it in there as well. For you guys, check out
Mars's stuff man, because he's got something really good going here. Definitely. Hey,
Mars is like, hey, yeah, man, that's awesome. So, Mars,
why do you want to be on a mental health podcast?

Speaker 4 (02:57):
Man?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Are you a big advocate? By chance?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Absolutely?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
I'd say that in my life, yeah, mental health. And
I use the word spirituality carefully because I feel like
it means different things for different people depending on the
context and you know, but all of those aspects psychology,
mental health, and spirituality really are the main focus, i'd say,

(03:23):
of my life. And then the music is kind of
a byproduct of that. So I'm a huge advocate for
meditation and mental health. I'd love to meditate. I love
doing like really long for past nas five ten days
at a time. Just yeah, something I'm really passionate about.

Speaker 3 (03:41):
Has changed my.

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Life because I mean, my mental health is better now,
I think than it's probably ever been. But it came
from a place of you know, and not being so
good once upon a time and wanting to figure out
how to work through it.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
And dude, do you mind asking me about your mental
health before this? Just not to cut you out there,
but do you mind me asking about that? I said,
you bring it up. It's a little darker re pass you.
You have a problem talking a little bit about it,
giving mee a little example of what you've gone through
to get through yet, because I think music is inspirational
and a lot of times the stories you tell, man,
those those inspire those songs.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
Man, Yeah, I get because those they helped me because
really the songs for me are alchemy, you know, they
really kind of help me move through all those feelings
or do anything, and I feel like they can help
other people do the same.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
But as far as my mental health.

Speaker 4 (04:33):
Growing up, yeah, it's like I didn't always, you know,
feel like I felt in I was always kind of
a little unconventional or weird, but besides that, I.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
Was always okay with that pretty for the most part.
I think it was just like.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Wanting truth more than anything else, and feeling so confused
and so lost and not knowing anything, and I feel
like I was just being eaten up almost by depression
and just you know, just this overwhelmedness and I was
looking and my spiritual journey had been you know, I
started in the church, I've been atheist, agnostic, and then

(05:11):
movement past that into just something that's kind of really
hard to describe with words, but is truly something that
anyone can experience. And man, it was it got to
the point where I I wanted what I knew, there
was something there I didn't know, and it was really
just my connection to myself and to life and to

(05:33):
love and to something you.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Know, bigger than that. And it's really just helped me.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
And it took focusing all my energy and life at that.
You know, it took prioritizing that and realizing that, hey, well.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
This isn't going to fix itself, and it is.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
It is serious, and it has to be serious for
yourself first before you know.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
It can't be pretty well.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
I agree, man, It took me like forty years almost
to even address mine. Man. And before I start the show,
I started doing my own mental journey, and the show
it's been kind of like a healing journey at the
same time. Along the way, I've discovered a lot of
things too. You know, I'm very spiritual and I get
into a lot of spiritual stuff. And it's funny that
you say spiritual because someone had mentioned to me if

(06:24):
they're reading my bird chart, she said that you'll get
into more spirituality, but I'm not sure how exactly. And
here you are. You said the word spiritual, like, yeah,
we're right there, you know. And it's it's interesting because
music is just great, Like music's gotten me through a
lot of hard times, man, Like you know, the stuff
you guys do, the songs you write and things like that,
don't I know, you guys quite hear it a lot

(06:44):
that people say that it's susan but it really does, man,
if you think about it. A lot of people have
their own mental health songs and things like that too,
you know, And it just depends what I'm in the
mood for. Man, Like I listen to everything though, like
I'm open to anything. I don't think I'm really not
a big fan. It's just country. But like I'm from
the Midwest, it wasn't really big for me there, so
I'm more like, you know, rock metal, punk rock is

(07:05):
a little thing. I discovered in high school a little
bit of that stuff, so I dug into that scene
for a while, you know, and things like that. Money
White Bostones was one of them too, So when I
heard the instrumentals in your song, I was just like
I thought of them instantly. I was just like, man,
I love the mighty mighty Bustones of high school with
great it was so great. You know, the real big
fish was big around then. You know, they may be giants.
It was some of those other bands like that just
had that interesting sound, you know, as you go and

(07:27):
then if you look at the flip side of going
to the punk rock side, you're looking at like god Man,
the sex Pistols and anything from there. Man, Ramones if
you want to go really far back, you know, and
things like that. You know, No Effects was always big too.
You know, they were always big making their own kind
of thing, and their songs are always interesting because the
way they just kind of put it together. Just a
lot of times you're just like, I don't know why
this makes sense, but it sounds. I really enjoyed this song,

(07:49):
you know, you know, it's completely like weirdness as it's
going for some of them, you know, so but it's
it's you know, it's it's great, man, it's great. I'm
glad you know you were willing to share that with us, man,
because I like, it's always great to get the you know,
to see like where people come from toward they're at now.
So what got you into music? Have you always loved
music in general? Is it just something you kind of
vib it from the beginning?

Speaker 4 (08:11):
So the way that it came to be part of
my life, I guess since as far back as I
can remember, I always liked art, so but it was
more of like I wanted to be an actor. I
think first when I was like really little and I
like to draw in anything creative really just always just
called my attention. But uh, I was actually born here

(08:32):
as I moved to Costa Rica around twelve.

Speaker 3 (08:34):
When I moved there, I didn't speak any Spanish yet, and.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
You know, music just became a way for me to
communicate really, And I also feel like, yeah.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
It was it was around that time when I found music.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Then yeah, I kind of started taking priority, you know,
over anything else as far as the arts go. But yeah,
so yeah, around thirteen, I got my first guitar and
started learning some stuff and immediately was drawn to songwriting.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
You know, by the time I was like fifteen, I'd
already write my first kind of few songs starting to
play around.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
That's awesome, man, So listen, you know we I've asked.
I asked Brianton. Life was still in this question. I said, listen,
if you could open for anybody, who would it be.
If you could pick that one band that you just
want to be the front runner for, what would it be.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
Oh, that's that's so tough because there's there's so many
there's any choices, I know, yeah, oh that's.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
What you can name a couple. It's all right, give
us a little idea what you're thinking. The man, I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Because singer songwriter stuff. When it comes to my new album,
you know, I do really resonate.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
Like I said with Bourn's, I would love to do
some kind of concert with Bourne Scarttbourne would be cool.
But then I am super into these kind of progressive
rock bands that.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Are around now.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
But I even hesitate to call that but progressive rock.
But Polifia, CHOHn cove It. They're kind of more instrumental,
but that whole shit is something that I'm just in
love with.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Like that would also be a dream of true.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Those are completely different vibes shows, you know, entirely different.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
This man, you like what you like, and it doesn't matter. Listen,
you could have said, you could have said Backstreet Boys, Mars,
and I wouldn't look at you any different. I'm like,
all right, man, hey listen, that's what you're into, your man,
Well that's so cool man. It's like, you know, to
hear your song on like Spotify and everything else. Man,
it's got to feel great though when people hit you
back and like Mars, man, I love this song. It

(10:36):
resonated me for whatever reason, you know, whatever reason that
you insert in there. You know what I'm saying, Like
it's got to feel good, man, Like you feel good
to the soul. Gotta feel good to that thirteen year
ol kid that start making music. You know what I'm saying. Man,
You had to like, Oh, it's got to make you
feel good. Every time you hear somebody coming you say
something like that, isn't it?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah? No, it does. It does feel good.

Speaker 4 (10:54):
It feels good to go or to a show and
see someone who maybe knows the words that doesn't know personally,
like those are those are always that?

Speaker 3 (11:03):
Yeah? Those always always feel good and nice?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Uh yeah, and you know, and then they bring up
like mental health and you're like, well, you know, actually,
funny thing is, I'm a huge advocate, you know, and
things like that too, man, which is always great too.
Because Lucy Leonora from Hunter, she was a big mental
health advocate to Mars and I had no idea until
I reached out to its. I was just randomly on Instagram.
It's like, hey, Lucy, I love your stuff. What's your
thoughts about mental health? And she reachs back out to
me and goes, oh, I'm a huge advocate. I'm like,

(11:29):
oh shit, okay. So when she came on the show Too,
she had actually revealed she has BPD, which is borline
personality disorder. But you never know though, and Lucy had
explained her description of what it was like, you know,
but it was so cool to see her though, because
it was like, you listen to these people they have
all these downloads and things like that too, you know,
and all these people listening to your songs, and then
you get them right here in front of you, and

(11:50):
it's like you had to be like you're just trying
to fangirl when they're there. But it's like she was
so cool, just like, you know, you're so mellow too, man,
Like you're so cool. You're like when I go into
these conversations, I don't know what to think, but I'm
already loving your vibe. Man, You're really mellow and something.
That's really cool though, man, because you know they say
that thing like don't meet your hero sometimes. I mean
I get that that. I think that statement's incorrect. I

(12:11):
think it's how you meet your heroes though, like don't
rush them up in public and just start like taking
twenty pictures of them. I can see him getting mad
like that, you know, because one of my other guys
was actually, yeah, go ahead, oh yeah, you're right. Now,
you're right. That makes sense.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
I've met a few of, you know, people who I've
looked up to or learned from, and I meet them
in real life, and a few times it's been exactly
what I think.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
It's gonna be.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
At other times it's like, wow, I could have could
not have been more off. It's like I have this
whole idea in my head of what this person is like,
and yeah, yeah, you just never know. Sometimes it's right, though,
So sometimes you are right. Sometimes you have an idea
and it's right on. But other times you're you're certain

(12:59):
you have and you have someone and it's like, yeah,
when there are people like that you've never met, you
really don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, man, you know, listen, I don't do any pre
meetings with people, and I know people always like why not,
and like why not let's just jump into a conversation.
Conversations or always interesting. And like I said, I don't
think I've ever had a problem with the show man.
We've had some O shit moments. Man. There's actually a
gentleman that was on here at the beginning of the year.
He was talking with suicide ideation. Okay, and for whatever reason,
you know, this is still a hot button issue for people.

(13:28):
Like when you start talking to suicide, people start freaking out. Well,
this guy was talking about his ideation he was having
and he's like, Pete, this morning, I was sitting on
the edge of the bed, I had the gun in hand,
and I'm just thinking the whole time and going, oh crap,
what is about to happen here? So I'm trying to
keep calm in my brain, I'm freaking out, but looking
on the camera, I'm just I'm just trying to keep
it well. Listen too, all right, man, you know. Just

(13:48):
and he was just like telling them about it. But
you've never seen so many people react to it though,
Like fifteen people afterwards are like is he okay? I'm like, yeah,
he's good, you know. And it's it's crazy because when
it comes to I don't know if you've ever had
suicidaliation before, but when it comes to that kind of thing, man,
it gets it gets kind of sticky for people because
people don't know what to say it because when people
start telling you things, it's like, oh my god, what

(14:10):
do I do next? I don't want to say something
wrong to set them off over the edge and kind
of thing. Have you have yourself ever had a suicide idiation?

Speaker 4 (14:16):
Yeah, I mean, hmm, I had something on some of
my tongue and I lost it.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Sorry, no, man, welcome to the podcast. And man, so
what happens to me some too. It's like you got
this great idea, you're thinking of something. You're like, damn,
it just slipped my tongue.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yup.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
But I think, yeah, I think it's a much stigma
around it and talking around it because it is a
heavy issue, and I think that I love what you're
doing here and in general, what we're doing right now
and talking about it and even having that moment.

Speaker 3 (14:49):
I think that you don't want to normalize it happening.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
In a way where like I don't want to be
misunderstood why I say this could be normalized, but like
the stigma should be lifted in a way where it's
like I think that most people it's something that at
least it's they it crosses their mind.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
For some people it becomes a deeper.

Speaker 4 (15:10):
Reality where like this person you're interviewing is on the
edge of their bed and it's a.

Speaker 3 (15:14):
Serious, like.

Speaker 4 (15:17):
A deeper contemplation where they put themselves closer to that line,
But in general, everyone has thought about the line. And
how close you've got into it is different for everyone,
but everyone has thought about the line. So yeah, there
shouldn't be this stigma around talking about it. There shouldn't
be this. I mean, that's my opinion. And like you said,

(15:39):
it is a hot button issue and some people are
very triggered sensitive just to they hear the word suicide
and all of a sudden, the hair stand up on
their arms, their ears burn up, like oh.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
You know, And you're right though, man, I think I
think you know everything that you're saying as your opinion though,
and it's respectable to have an opinion, like I get.
People need to understand what Mars is saying is his opinion.
Don't take it as he's saying he's an expert. Mars
is not. Mars is just having a conversation right here.
So I want people to know that this is not
how this works. Here. This is a safe space, Mars.
We talk about everything in here. So anything you say

(16:12):
in these these four walls of this screen are basically
just to say space. These they are all just conversation
between two people and the fact that we're men having
this conversation is even a stronger message. Think about it,
because you know, if you look at the percentages of
men that commit suicide of a year, it's eighty percent. You know,
men will commit suicide, but that's how much of those
persons that make up And it's just it's scary, man,
because it's like like we don't have these kind of conversations,

(16:34):
you know, because we always taught to be the bigger person,
be the alpha male. Don't talk about your feelings. Rush
it in a rug, take that rug and just sweep
it under it. But you know, it's great that you know,
us as males, we can have this conversation right now
and you're giving your opinion. It's great too because it's
great to have other people's thoughts on it, what they think,
you know. That way, you know you can see how
other people feel about the subject and things like that too.

(16:55):
So you know it's great, man that you're here talking
to us, because you know it's it's always going to
get another the voice of the conversation. Like I could
sit here all day in campaign, but you know it's
songer when you have more people in the message itself, man,
because I do I do a men's mental health panel,
and I do one every month, So I'm definitely gonna
have to invite you to come back and do one
of those with us. We'll figure it out and get
you on there for sure. Man, I think you would

(17:16):
love that. I definitely think he'd be great on there.
I'll heck yeah, Man. I definitely love it though, man,
because you know, I thought it was great when you're
when you guys reached out to me, because I was like, man,
all right, this is awesome. I love having artists on
the show, just because music is a huge part of
my life. Like I've listened to everything, Like if I
had to be a band, that my favorite band of
all time to be Pop Roach. It's just something about
the songs they write. It is so just touched so

(17:38):
close to me. But a lot of things they say, uh,
cold's another big one, stains another big one. I love
all them. Air Loose is just phenomenal in my book.
You know things like that. You know, and you know
the guy from Guyvin called Jeremy, he had wrote that
song the Different Kind of Pain, which was dedicated to
that fan. Like like when people do things like that, it's
it's a powerful song. Because this guy had taken his

(17:59):
time to write this wrong and put it on his
album for someone here. That says a lot to me
right there now, now, Mars, if someone asks you to
do that, would you do that for a fan ever?

Speaker 3 (18:08):
And they would write it for them?

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Ask ask you to write a song for them, you
know about whatever? Would you ever dedicated to something like
that on your album?

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Like that?

Speaker 2 (18:16):
Just curiosity, it's just context.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh so that's it?

Speaker 2 (18:21):
So true?

Speaker 3 (18:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Yeah, part is like you put me on Spider Man.
I'm just I'm just asking in gentle man. But you
know they're saying though, it's just like it's great that
you know, we get together have these kinds of conversations
because we also were talking about like PTSD, you know,
and things like that are very interesting moments where I
had a moment where I experienced it myself, or somebody
had a PTSD moment. Man, they flipped out, and dude,

(18:44):
it's like you don't recognize the person anymore now, you know,
And it gets really interesting because like you're there and
you see the person, but the persons no longer there.
They've checked out completely, and then after it they didn't
even remember anything that happened. It is the craziest thing ever.
And have you have yourself ever dealt with any of
those kind of things, any other friends or anybody's had
like kind of mental health issues at all or.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
A few like PPD or MPD or yeah, I guess
bipolar and.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, yeah. Bipolar is interesting though when it gets you
get into it though, because there's one and then bipolar
two gets a little bit different because people going to
Manick states and those and stuff like that too, so
you know, and then when VPD comes up, it's interesting
to see because bipolar and BDD kind of goes so
close together. It's sometimes people misdiagnose them a little bit.

(19:37):
They have similar kind of like traits that you would
see in people.

Speaker 3 (19:41):
You know.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
The idea is another interesting one though, Mars, I don't
know if you ever met something that has the idea.
It's basically what happens is like it's it used to
be called multiple personality soda.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Man.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
So the way it worked is like people used to
think it's different personalities, you know, take example of the
movie Split. Okay, in the movie the guy has all
those different personalities. It does happen for some people, but
that's not what d id really is. DD is really
like it's like some little ticks and changes in a person,
like they do like different good certain different things will change,
like their handwriting will change the way the addressing is

(20:12):
kind of a little bit like what you were seeing,
but it's not so much a personality change, man. And
it's so interesting to see, you know, when it happens.
And I've had somebody on the show that actually had
it and we were watching them. You could see the
little ticks and things as they change and stuff like
that too, you know, and it's it's so interesting to see.
You know. You have you ever had a chance of
meetingbody that has that at all? Or is that not

(20:32):
something you've experienced yet?

Speaker 4 (20:35):
No, not in person. It's something I'm fascinated by. It's
something that I have looked into and read about a lot.
So it's like, well, from what I understand, it's like
can happen through like compartmentalizing parts of the self because
of trauma. And to me, the craziest part about a

(20:55):
lot of this mental health stuff, to me, where it
ties into spirituality is when it comes into what the
self is.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
And then people dismiss this because.

Speaker 4 (21:07):
They go, well, now you're talking about philosophy, and now
it's an abstraction, and it's like it doesn't hold any
weight when.

Speaker 3 (21:15):
In reality, the way that I see it.

Speaker 4 (21:17):
It's like this is the root of so much of it,
because the concept of what we are actually is something
that I feel like we take for granted, and it's
something that because I love meditation so much, I've noticed
and I just I see so many correlations between it

(21:38):
and mental health, and like between what your idea of
self is. You notice different mental health issues correlated with
what people perceive themselves to.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
Be in reality. And if that is at a brain,
is that a soul? Is that uh? You know?

Speaker 4 (22:03):
And this is left up to debate, you could say,
but I find that it all ties back to consciousness.
And I think that consciousness work in general can be
scary because I feel like what we fear most as
human beings is what we don't know, and consciousness is
is blank identity. It's this whole thing where you know,

(22:27):
that's where all the neurosis comes up. The deeper you go,
I feel like spirituality is antithetical to survival, So the
deeper you go in and challenge these questions. Sometimes it
threatens your survival, but not your survival your physical body,
the survival of your concept of self, your ego.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
It begins to just dissipate.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
And then that you know, in those panicking as your
ego is basically dissolving. If your ego dissolve, who's there,
who's home? What's left without a name, without an identity?
Because I feel like we just make assumptions as humans

(23:12):
grand majority of just we don't even really think about
the I mean, I'm obsessed with these kind of topics.

Speaker 3 (23:18):
But what I've noticed my experience is that a lot
of people, this is.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
You know me, people I spend time with. Yeah, we
love talking about this stuff. But in general, what I've
noticed is people don't take it that deep.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah, and you know you're right, Marcy, you're right because
they don't understand or they don't want to understand.

Speaker 3 (23:37):
Yeah, and you know.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
It's proven in history. Though we don't know something. We
judge people differently and we'll say, oh, they're just crazy,
or they'll say, oh, you're too emotional. You know, it
depends on far you go into. Like, you know, people
their impacts are very sensitive to you know, emotions and
energy and things like that. And it also goes to
that whole thing, you know when they always say like, oh,
females are crazy because they're so emotional, Maybe it's not
that case. So it's more that they're in two with

(24:00):
their feelings. But us as men, we have this like
tower like system. Obviously we're trying to be the top dog,
the alpha dog. And I think that's that's the thing
we need to break down, is that we need to
stop doing that. We need to start working together because
we are losing people at a faster rate than we
are reproducing males. And the scary fact is do that
we make up fifty percent of the population. Think about that,

(24:22):
like one in three of your friends. They may not
be there the next day. You know, a good majority
of them aren't going to be there the next day
for some reason. And it could be mostly closer to
suicide than anything, unfortunately. And if we don't start the
conversation now, man like we're doing now and everybody else
that's trying to force this conversation out there because it
needs to be had, I think that's the problem. A
lot of people cite mental health is in issues they

(24:43):
take to many school shootings, for example, they blame they say,
mental health is usually the first thing we had something
wrong mentally. Then they go away from it instantly and
blame the gun and they don't have an object that
had done it. Wait a minute, the gun has no feelings,
So how are you going to blame an object that
has no identity to itself? None of that stuff. I
can't do anything and think for yourself. Who the bad
past the person you're claiming that it's having these issues,

(25:06):
but you can't seem to help them for some reason.
And the scary part is it's harder to find mental
health help here in the States than it is to
find a doctor. You can find a doctor anywhere, but
you can't find a mental health person. You can't afford
it because it's too expensive, you know, we don't have
affordable cheaper rates and things like that for people that
really need this help, you know, because everybody always associates

(25:26):
it with just talk therapy and the mental hospital. That's it.
That's all you hear when you think of a lot
of people think about it. But it's like there's so
much more to it.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Man.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
With all these new people getting these alternative holistic spaces,
and things like that too, you know, energy healing and
things like that. There's so many different options out there
now that people can use to get around these things. Like,
you know, if you don't like talk therapy, that's cool.
There's there's about ten thousand different other things you can
do out there. You know, you have you had any
experience of holistic healing at all, like, you know any
of that kind of stuff. You're you're spiritual, so you

(25:55):
may you may have.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Hey, I'm just Sin.

Speaker 6 (25:59):
Rhode's hosts of Mentally a Badass, the podcast where we
have the kind of conversation most people are too scared
to have. We talk about mental health, identity, healing, and
what it means to actually take care of yourself without
the fluff.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Our guests share.

Speaker 6 (26:13):
Stories that are wild, raw, sometimes hilarious, and sometimes heartbreakingly real.
We dive into stuff no one wants to say out loud, grief, trauma, shame,
and even the awkward things like feeling like you're too
much or not enough.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
But we don't just sit in the heavy.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Every episode leaves you with something useful, real, actuable advice
to help you move.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Through your own stuff.

Speaker 6 (26:35):
If you're tired of surface level talk and ready for
something deeper check out mentally a badass wherever you get
your podcasts?

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Yeah, I mean I practice, you know, I give breaky
healing fashions of lad meditations.

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Okay, okay, Mars Now were getting a litle more interesting,
bud you said rieky healing. I like it.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Okay, yeah, yeah, to energy and work, And that's something
that just kind of came to me more naturally. But
I think it's some interesting points with what you were saying.
Are you familiar with the Dunning Gruger effect.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
No, I'm not going to have to look this up though,
for sure.

Speaker 4 (27:16):
So it's basically what happens when someone's so ignorant that
they're ignorance. They can't recognize their ignorance because of their ignorance.

Speaker 3 (27:27):
You know what I'm saying, So makes sense with all
these people, it's like, well, yeah, but there's other ways.

Speaker 4 (27:32):
It's not just talk therapy. It's like this way, in
that way, and the like. There's so much ways you
can get help. And the people who see that and
they do they look for it and they know about
it and like us, we're here, we're talking. And it's
funny because the people who who are pulled in, you know,
they're they're they're pulled in naturally. The people who need
it the most don't know they need it. They're like

(27:56):
they can't.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
It's it's like a paradox.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Yeah, no, you're right. And Mars, you're such an interesting guy.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Man.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Let me just say realquick, dude, I am finding you
more interesting after this interview continues. Man, you said wreaky
master and everything else, and I'm just like, damn, all
right now, I knew we had to meet for a reason. Man,
you've ever had this feel like the universe fits people
in the path of each other for a reason.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Absolutely, I don't believe it.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
And that's why we are here right now, brother, because
this is great, man, So I love it.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
Man.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
As soon as you start talking wreaky and energy him,
I'm like, yeah, mars Is starts up. Mars, I'm getting
the kind of a man curser in Mars. I'm like,
all right, buddy, that's so cool though, man, because you're
right though, because if you think about it, like you know,
it's energy, it's like you attract the people that you want,
So you're attracted to that stuff. You know, you think
about it and then you detract the people that don't
want to be there. And I try to tell it.

(28:46):
I tell people that all the time, and they look
at me weird. I'm like, listen, I know this sounds crazy,
but trust me, you bring in the people you want
to be here, the people that get mad and don't
want to be there and so called don't want to
be your friend of Marne. Okay, cool, you don't need
them anymore. That's really what that says to you. If
you look at the practice is like energy dealers or things,
they'll tell you that those are the people that don't
like the energy you're giving off, or like, I'm real
sensitive energy, so like when I get around certain people, man,

(29:08):
I get real likeed, I feel litt nauseous, and I
feel like, you know, it's just feeling that comes over me.
It could never explain it until I met somebody that
was an energy healer who had explained it a little
better to me, you know, and I was like, well, okay,
that makes sense now, it would make sense why he
within the first five minutes of meeting most people, I
can tell you whether I liked them or not. I
couldn't tell you what I don't like about them. I
could just tell the feed. I could feed their energy,

(29:28):
I could feel it, and I could tell you if
I like it or not, you know, And that's a
great thing about you know. This show is like when
I wait a book. A lot of people like, if
I don't feel like if I read your name or
read it about you, and I don't feel like I'm
feeling good vibes coming from you, I'll just turn on
the interview. But most of the time, the people I
bring in that we get into such interesting topics. And
it's funny when you said wreaki master, because I started

(29:50):
hearing that a lot early on in the show, and
I didn't know why it kept coming up.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
And then I met a woman who goes by the
energy alchemist a Melanie, and her and I in view.
We're discussing how I'm sensitive energy and everything, and it
started making more sense when she started explaining it to me.
And here you are, now, Mars, you go, oh, I
do wreki master healing. I'm like, oh, Mars, Okay, this
gets a little more interesting, buddy, all right, So but

(30:15):
I find it so interesting, man, is there anything else
you're not telling us? Marts are you are you secretly
a ventriloquist or something too?

Speaker 3 (30:21):
This other really an FBI agent, right, Hey, it's.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
Funny you say FBI. It's funny say FBI though, because
I had a woman on two weeks ago. She was
an XBI FBI sleep expert. Man, how about that.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
One for an interesting conversation.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
That's cool, you know what I'm saying, Like, it's this
show is such a great opportunity to meet different people.
And I went through a strong phase, like for like
a week or two of nothing but energy healers that
kept coming on. I messoud another woman named Leslie. She
came on and she was more fascinated by me than
the actual interviews though. It was great though, Man, So
what got you into wreaki and all that kind of stuff? Man?

(30:56):
Because that's, like I said, I've been hearing that a lot.
Lady comes in my path a lot. So why did
you tell her your story about that?

Speaker 3 (31:02):
It's it's interesting story.

Speaker 4 (31:05):
Well, it kind of ties back into what I was
saying before about my kind of spiritual path. And as
I started meditating more. It was really during my first
five day sit I had an incredibly powerful breakthrough. And
this is a story that I like to tell a
lot all though it is a longer one, but you know,

(31:27):
the shorter version of that sit is that you know,
in the middle, it was the first time I experienced
the true silence of my mind. For like two or
three days, my mind was like in like just nuts
and I was kind of just self hate and talking
and screaming and just boredom and like just all the

(31:48):
worst images and thoughts and things. And it was my
mind just like I think, holding on for however it could.
And at a certain point, after three days, my mind
it just had this moment where it was just like, Okay, fine, fine, whatever,
You're just gonna sit here, you know what, Like this

(32:10):
is so stupid, this is dumb.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
You think this is gonna help you?

Speaker 4 (32:14):
Yeah, And but I just kept trying to say one
more thing, one more thing, and eventually nothing at all.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
And this was the first.

Speaker 4 (32:21):
Moment in my entire life that I'd experienced just this
profound silence.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
And at that moment, certain things just clicked for me.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
But they clicked in a way outside of words, because
I wasn't forming sentences and a linear fashion anymore. Because
of just this breakthrough that I had and a lot
of so I love I do coaching, and part of
what I love to do is to help people with
this breakthrough in particular.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
But you don't just have it once. Yeah, there's like.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
So many degrees of this. And at some point the
reiki just came naturally. And I actually, personally, I don't
even like calling the healing that I do personally reiki.
I tell people reiki because I know that that's the
term most are familiar with, and it resembles reiki. It's
basically it's partly reiki. But in some ways, I feel

(33:15):
like sometimes I just get some deep intuition. Sometimes I'm
doing this energy healing and and I just something comes
to me, either some kind of image or word or sentence,
and then my ego isn't the thing getting it, because
my ego will doubt itself. And this is something I
had to learn where it's like it would I would

(33:37):
get this done and be like, oh, tell this person that,
and I would be like I can't tell them that,
Like what just where is that coming from? Like what
if that's not true? What if they look at me
and they go, you're a fake, You're a poser?

Speaker 3 (33:49):
What are you doing?

Speaker 4 (33:50):
Like you're just making stuff on it and I'm like,
and it was this internal thing and again I kind
of let it go. And it's kind of just being
in this in this flow state.

Speaker 3 (34:02):
So the reiki, the healing, this kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (34:07):
It wasn't something that it's like I picked up a
book or someone taught me or someone like came over
and was like, this is how this is done. I
kind of like, I I have a mentor that is
a reiki master actually, but they never formally taught me reiki.
But again, I did come to understand in that time

(34:27):
that what I'm doing is a very similar thing, and
it just it just came to me in.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
An in an intuitive way.

Speaker 4 (34:35):
And I do think that people have this capacity. I
think we're all more intuitive and psychic than we know.
And I think that this is something very rarely talked
about because it's hard to find the words to describe
these things sometimes, and it's just that's just one of

(34:56):
those things that I'm passionate about doing.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Now you can tell, man, you can tell the way
you're talking about it. You totally can tell.

Speaker 3 (35:03):
Man. It's awesome though.

Speaker 2 (35:04):
That's really cool. Though it's funny you say that you
know people are psychic or you know, almost like that.
Because there's actually a guess I had on the show
named Glory of Ateeni. She came on and she said
the same thing, that anybody could be one of those
type of people. She's just you just got to train
yourself how to know what you're looking for and things
like that, So you're not wrong by saying any of
That's that's so cool, though, man, because this, like I said,

(35:27):
this is getting more interesting by the minute. Man, Like
the more you start saying things, I'm just like, all right, buddy,
what else you're hiding from? Marsa? But it's so cool, man,
that's so cool. The coincidence that you're here and that's
something big I've been getting into, and then you're doing
the same thing and you know, and you're making music
and it's all things that I align with. Man, it's
so fucking cool. You're here though here you say all

(35:48):
those things and talk about how you're doing it. It's
so awesome, man. It really is. Like I said, it's
a universe at work. Anybody that doesn't understand that, listen,
they can be on the outside. They don't have to
be in our club. They can't be here. But you
know what I'm saying, Man, it's so cool though that
that that you're so passionate about that kind of stuff.
And you can tell when you're talking about it. Man's
when you were you were just really into it right
there telling us all about how your journey was and stuff.

(36:09):
And it's so cool. Man. Like I said, I love it, dude,
I love it. So let's let's talk about the new song. Man.
I love it. I'm gonna be honest with you. I
listened to it. I love it. I was listening to repeat.
Actually a few times. I just thought it kept going.
It it was just that good. I just like was like,
I didn't have the urge to change it. I was like,
oh man, this song's still going. Helly, let's keep going.
All right? This is so how did you come up
with a song? Like, what's your process for songwriting?

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Man?

Speaker 2 (36:32):
Is it just like you just start writing some down
and see what it feels like or is it just
something that is it something that happen in your life?
You know, some people used different inspirational things for what
song they write songs and things like that too, so.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
I mean, hmm, every song is different. So we'll talk
about Saracha Yeah, which is the new in particular, because yeah,
I've worked through so many different kinds of methods how
I get different songs, And I do think in particular,
you after you tell me all the types of music
you like, you love my first album, we can talk,

(37:04):
we can touch back on that, check it out. But
just with all the styles that you told me my
first album, explore your mind, you would really like this song.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
I'm definitely checking it out.

Speaker 4 (37:15):
Sarracha was It's just fun. It feels poppier than one
I usually do, but it.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Doesn't feel.

Speaker 4 (37:25):
Cliche, So it's it's it's poppy, it feels like radio.
But to me, it doesn't feel like something that's been
done exactly. It's just like it just feels modern. I
just I don't even know how to describe that song.
That one kind of snuck up on me, to be honest.
I got the chord progression just kind of playing around
with my guitar so that the chords came first, and

(37:48):
that first little I had that little phrase right at
the beginning of the song for a while before I
wrote the rest of it. Maybe we should, and I
would usually just leave it silent while I was playing
acoustic guitar.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Oh I love acoustic. You just hit my bell. I
love acoustic music.

Speaker 3 (38:06):
Oh that song? Yeah, that was that was cool. I
mean I that one. It was over process of months.

Speaker 4 (38:14):
I mean yeah, I had like the first two or
three sentences of that Court progression. I was like, this
is a hook. This just feels good. And originally I
wasn't even thinking of having it on this album, but
I just ended up loving it so much. It's just, yeah,
a really good vivy song. And then the horn players
on it. That just adds another layer.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yeah, I'm telling you, man, I'm telling you that. I'm
telling you that he said mighty bos bostone vice. But
I'm telling you I love that that. That was always
a big band for me. His mighty mighty boss tones
and things, horns and see there you go. Then you are.
Then you've read it by it. See you look, Mars, listen,
are you trying to crate to Romanci? Because I think
it's we're having right now. I think what's happening with this?

(38:54):
I love Scott. It was great, man, I'm telling you
it was. It was so good, you know what I'm saying. Like,
I loved it. Man, I'm definitely gonna check out the
other stuff. I haven't had a chance yet to. But
I'm always listening to music, man, whatever I'm ning, I'm
always listening a music or podcast.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
Bro. I haven't mentioned this to anyone on any podcast
interview or anything. Okay, so far out because.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Right now we're working on this album Karma, and it
hasn't come out yet, but already because I have to
mention it now because I was years ago in a
scott punk reggae band, right I wrote a bunch of
songs in that time and at that time I wasn't
as established and know I was doing that, and they
never got recorded, and to me, like, some of them
are really good reggae songs, but scott punk stuff.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
Oh tell me, tell me what you're about to say,
is you're gonna you're gonna release those?

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Tell me that say, oh some of them are recorded?

Speaker 4 (39:40):
Oh yeah, I could send you an unreleased one that's
very sublime, these stop punk all that stuff.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Yeah, definitely I won't. I will not share with anybody else.
Yeah I can.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
I can shoot you down when the one's done. But eventually, yeah,
I want to all those songs that we're going to
release an EP that's going to be deep in.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
The future, so you know, Okay, the first I was thinking,
I'm not even excited about that though, in the future.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
But it's already all written. So some people hear these
songs at live shows. They're on release online.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
That's so man. So I'm looking forward to that for sure.
For sure, I'll definitely have to check that was out
when they come out. I'm looking forward to it, man.
I'm definitely looking forward to looking at somebody checking out
to any other stuff too, you know, and things like
that too. Man. I always dig deep into people's EPs
and things and look and see what they've got, you know,
because a lot of times, you know, you find a
lot of really good stuff. For some of the older
stuff too, like don't get around. The new stuff's great

(40:32):
for a lot of them, like like a live's loss.
I was listening to their some of their stuff. I
was digging deep into their kind of thing, and they
had this song called I Ed Man. I was like, Bro,
why didn't y'all why did y'all promote this one a
little more? This one's really good, man, I han't heard
this before.

Speaker 3 (40:44):
You know.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
And another one I was listening to recently, was was it?
Let Me Bleed? Eddie is the lead singer of the band.
He did a cover of Bring Me to the Rice
and Ten Statues that Bleed Blood. Dude, it was phenomenal.
And then you say acoustic and I'm just like h
Martin's hitting home for me. I love Bush acoustic Bush. Okay, okay,
what it is. Evon ronsdelle Man, he just he just

(41:06):
does it from him. John Rensnick was another big one
when I was a kid, I loved I loved the
goog Dolls. I'm caring, but it says it. I love
the Googles. I thought he was great. Everything he wrote
was really great. I know iris front the back, I
could see the song for you. You know things like
that too. I love the Iris. I was big into
The Bare Naked Ladies was an interesting one for a
lot of people. They were a big Canadian band. I've

(41:27):
just really enjoyed them as well. Yeah, they're really great.
I like them. Like I said, mony my boss phones
I picked up later on. But you know, Stayin was
always big because I remember bud Shovel was the first
song I ever heard by them. But then I got
into their.

Speaker 3 (41:41):
What is that.

Speaker 2 (41:43):
I'm going blank? Nom, I can call these off the top.
I had no problem. But you know, Break the Cycle
there you go to Break the Cycle album was a
real big influence to me during high school music wise, Skids,
it was, it was right and there. I liked them,
and then I discovered Cold and I was listening to
all their older stuff too, you know, like Thirteen Ways
to Plead on Stage and their original self title album.
And then I got into Korn was another big one

(42:04):
for me as well. Jonathan Davis was a big influence
where music wise, you know, so I kind of bounced
around a little bit, but I liked them. Tonic was
a great one too, you know, loved a lot of
their stuff. I seen, you know, the American Pie song
was on there. You Wanted More was on there, And
that's how I first discovered them. And I went back
to really listening to your stuff. So my taste goes

(42:24):
everywhere I go over. I'll listen to anything. I even
haunt her Lousy. The Norris band is really good too. Man,
She's got a real good vocals to it. I had, like,
really good good female lead singers are great too, you know,
if like fly Leaf and things like that. I even
like Marilyn Manson, I know, really weird speople, but I
love Marilond Manson. I think his style is just so
interesting in music that he has, you know, things like
that too. Like but my brother also had, like the

(42:46):
back when CDs were big, you come in. He had
a bigger Walt than Best s buy of just CDs,
so I had a chance to listen to a lot
of different stuff at like seven dusts and you know,
Ugly Kid Joe was another one he had. Jarvana was
always big in his collection. He was big into garbage.
He had garbage out, had an arm from garbage, you know,
and stuff like that. Man, I can go all for
days and things like that because it was just great.

(43:07):
So this is leading me into my next question, Mars,
is a question I was going to ask you. Okay,
So this goes credit to my good friend Gretchen. She
runs a podcast called The Shit That Goes on Your Head? Okay,
Rinch and I interviewed and she asked me this question
I'm about to ask you. She said to me, Pete,
if your mental health had a song, what would it be? Now,
Mars Hendrick, this is a question for you, sir, if

(43:27):
your mental health had a song, what would it be? Oh, oh,
the good one.

Speaker 4 (43:32):
I know.

Speaker 3 (43:35):
It would be a wordless chorus by my morning Jacket.

Speaker 2 (43:40):
There you go. Okay, okay, I'm gonna check it out.
I don't know if I know that one, but I'm
definitely got to check it out though, for sure, very
very son. That and then interesting question, isn't It's interesting
because a lot of people have answered it. I've got
one lady that said beat It by Michael Jackson. Mars,
I was dying. I was dying. This one is like
a forty five year old from the Middle East, and
we were talking about her app about you know something

(44:04):
somebody pertaining to women. I couldn't been exactly the col content,
but she said, beat It by Michael Jackson. I was
dying hysterically, I said, ma'am, I'm not laughing at you.
I'm just laughing in the fact that you pick Michael
Jackson on everything. It's just so interesting because you don't
know what people are going to say. Yeah, you know,
like I like Michael Jackson.

Speaker 3 (44:20):
That was an interesting quest, it is, man, It's a
really interesting.

Speaker 2 (44:24):
Question, especially when you ask an artist who who they
like you know, and things like that too, and what
they would think, you know, My answer was actually too.
I don't know if you've ever seen the movie Scott
Pilgrim Versus the World. I don't know what the band
name is. The intro song is, but that I said,
the days of my anxiety is at an all time high.
Is that that's intro song right there. It's just in
my head someone you know, it's going, just going, that

(44:44):
repeat cours is just going. And then what is it?
And I said, when my days are really when I'm
really depressive, it's leave the Light on, Talking Away the
Dark by popa roachd original. Not to carry underword version
because I don't really care for that one too much.
But yeah, that was my big songs, you know, I
liked it. And you know, Hold a Different Kind of
Pain is another one too. I'd add into that list

(45:05):
if I had to give another one to it too,
because just just something with the song. It's just so
it's so soothing the way they starts out with it,
you know, real low tone and things like that.

Speaker 3 (45:14):
You know.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
I don't know if you've ever heard the song, but
it's really good and so you know, and it's it's
so interesting because I give people the answer. People look
at me weird, like you have three event songs. I'm like, yeah,
I'm a complex person. I'm sorry, you know, but that's
what the show is called. Pete for Anxiety though think
about it, because the idea behind the show was originally
was that I battle my anxiety every single day, and
people that have anxiety know that, like in your head,

(45:35):
the thoughts go through. You had a rasing a thousand
miles an hour. So the punk rock side of my
liking music I kind of fits in that little bit.
Think about It's faster pace, you know, real quick going,
there's coming in and real faster. Hey what you're listening to?
You know, like Rancid or was I know this is
going to trade main striggers some people. Anti Flag was
a big one for me too. It wasn't so much

(45:55):
the name of the band, it was just the music.
It was okay, But then I found out some recently
about one of the people that he he was doing
some pretty heinous things behind So I really don't really
support them too much anymore, just because of that kind
of thing. But like if Smoker fires, another big one,
the sex Pistols penny Wise, all those different bands you
could just go on for I go for days like those,
you know, and then i's kind of take my chase

(46:16):
changed up a little bit. So now I'm I like
MGK is really good. I didn't like his rap side
so much. I think his pop punk side is magnificent.
It's just a lot of those songs you can relate with,
you know, like Forget Me, you know, kind of like
you're like listening to the song and you just kind
of feel it as you go. And then and then
when Eddie from a live from Let Me Bleed did
the song ten Statues of Bleed Blood. I remember the

(46:37):
original because it's a good I like the song, but
his remake of it, his kind of more acoustic, fuller
sound to it is so good, like he did it
so justice to It's amazing, you know, and and it's
it was really great man, It's I just loved it.
I think it was a great cover song. And I
think it's great when people do some cover songs and
things like that too. I just heard was Ohio for
Lovers by another Canadian band? Did they cover somebody to

(46:59):
cover song? That's like, it's so interesting to hear people's
different perspectives. So if you could do a cover song
for any song Mars, what would you pick your own style?
Remember now you can do it in your own style too.
Remember now you can do it in the Mars Hendrick style.
You don't have to do it the way the original
song was done. And just what would you choose if
you could do it?

Speaker 4 (47:19):
We do.

Speaker 3 (47:20):
We play a bunch of covers.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
I think one of the ones that we've really done
in the Mars style that I love doing live is
Godzilla by eminem He Actually.

Speaker 2 (47:30):
It's the okay, okay, it's the world record.

Speaker 3 (47:32):
For the fastest rap.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
It's the most syllables of seconds, twelve and a half
syllables a second.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
And so how well do you keep up with it?

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I got it, I got it down, I practiced it.

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Oh do you really?

Speaker 4 (47:43):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (47:43):
We get the crowd creer. I always tell the crowd.

Speaker 4 (47:46):
I'm like, I want to take EM and M's record
in two languages while playing an instrument.

Speaker 3 (47:50):
I want that record.

Speaker 2 (47:52):
Yeah that'd be awesome, Yeah, that would be awesome. Yeah,
that's that's the man that's get it though.

Speaker 4 (47:58):
I feel like I have the record, but you need
X thousands of dollars to actually get the judge a
Guinness and all that, and I'm like, man, I have it.

Speaker 3 (48:07):
I have it already. Yeah, at least from my own.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I got it, but that one, like I got so
I go, you go for it. It just kills it
completely and just like catching his breath afterwards, and we're
just like all of us are just too amped up afterwards,
even care like Breg Martina, Okay, man, you're good. He's like,
I'm good, Man, I got this. But that's so cool though. Man,
it's an interesting answer though, Eminem though, Man, yeah, I
like Himinem. I have my mixed feelings about it, you know,
just because I liked it, I like, I thought the

(48:32):
whole MGK thing between him is just kind of stupid.
I'm like, I don't know why.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
That's how I felt. That's how I felt more about MGK.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
So when you said I just just don't see the point,
I just don't see the point of it. I like,
I just didn't understand it. I think he's more of
a pop punk guy myself. Honestly, I think that's his
better suited no genre. Okay, he could add a little
bit in there with that. I think that's it. Honestly.
I did like him with Papa Roachman and they did
sun Rays trailer. That was a good one where he
had it in his own kind of thing in there
a little bit. He has a place for it. But
I'm just like pop punk. When when that first album

(49:02):
came out, when it's uh, you know my best friend.
There was that song camera when he did something my
downfalllack bear, Yeah, the Downfall thinking of my Downfall that
album there, the main song that he did when he
dropped that whole album. I think it's just that was
the way. Yeah, he should have been there the whole time.
Like I know he's been doing it. He says he's
been doing it, but I'm like, dude, why did you
ever leave it? It was? It was so good man.

(49:23):
Everything you put out is so good. After that, his
new song Cliche is really good too, you know, and
things like that too. And and I just I still
go back and listen to classes hanging like Hi, man,
I listened I love Google Dolls, the song he did
the cover song for Iris to him and the other
ling Lady has the song with a really good cover song,
you know, and it's I think it's really great. I
think the most slept on song by the Google doles.

(49:44):
A lot of people don't do this Black Baoon Like, guys,
you need a cover song from Black blouone here. I
think y'all need to start doing you know or you
know it's a Mighty Mighty Boss and some Mars. I'd
love to see you take your shot at Mark Mighty,
my boss tuse Man. I think that'd be interesting, especially
the instrumentals and stuff too. I think you can knot
get out of the park cool definitely. Mars is like
I'm thinking about it, Mars, you can do Backstreet Boy

(50:06):
stores to Man and some one of my good friends,
uh pretty suspect, they said they were doing Backstreet Boy
cover songs. I was laughing hysterically. You know, it's like
what if boy bands go and punk everybody probably man
because they're good, like if they're really good, and it's
it's crazy to hear when people do them because they
sound great too.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
I know.

Speaker 2 (50:23):
That was my dad's big argument in the nineties when
I was listening to Orgie when they did that cover
of Blue Monday from The New World Order, He's like,
it sounds the same. I'm like, it doesn't sound the same, Dad,
it's a different tone, pace of tone and oh okay, sobod,
different ways we can dissect this. Oh man, okay, calm
down over there, you know. And this is coming of
a guy who's listening to Chicago and things like that.
My mom, my step mom, she was big into the

(50:43):
Ramones and all that stuff, so she'd be more into
the stuff we listen to. She listened to all that
different kind of stuff and things like that too. And
you know, and my wife she listens to a lot
of metal. She listens to some metal, but more rap.
So I threw off the one day she was listening
to three six month ya you know, half on the sack.
He's like, you know this song? I'm like, it doesn't
know three six My view, man, I grew up in

(51:04):
the nighttiesaying like I didn't know what the hell existed
out there. So markin sin as we get ready to
start wrapping up, man, I want to take you so
much for coming bro. This is such a great time.
