Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
What us up?

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Guys, Welcome back to another episode of the Misfit Minutes podcast.
I'm your host, of course, Jade. If you're near around here, welcome,
If you're not around here, welcome back to the chaos.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
I want inplications, get it together.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
So for today's very special guests, we have two guests
with me. We have Tristan and Brett from Executionists. Welcome, guys, Hey,
thanks for having us absolutely.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Thank you so much for coming on. I appreciate it.
How did you guys stay in?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (00:39):
Min's been pretty okay. I just woke up like an
hour ago. Yes for me, honestly, so hasn't had time
to be good or bad yet. But we'll see.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
That's fair.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I've been up pretty late. I excuse me. I've been
up pretty early. I have animals at home that are
on the sands schedule I am for when I'm working
during the week, so they wake up at six a m.
And start running around and asking to be fed. I guess,

(01:14):
so I usually wake up, but like six or seven.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
We got we got animals too. Oh oh what do
you have? Eleven dogs? What? Yeah? Yeah, that's a lot
of They are rescues, so, uh you know, because astring
them or uh, she's like, I think that was the plan,
but then, uh, we got too close to them, I

(01:39):
didn't get them away.

Speaker 1 (01:40):
Ye, I gotcha.

Speaker 2 (01:43):
I'm sure that happens to a lot of people who
foster animals.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
I have never fostered. Maybe you would like to one day,
but I have not.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
I understand that completely.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
I feel like I would get way to it. That's
to every single one.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
That is exactly what happened to us. Yeah, you know,
obviously they're very well taken care of. Uh, but we're
we're a bit stubborn. We liked them too much, we
love them too much and let them go anywhere else.
But you know, that's just how animals are.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
I guess, yeah, that's fair.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
So I guess getting into some music stuff, I wanted
to know kind of what was the start of this
particular band, and I guess your individual journey, because everyone's
journey is just a little bit different. What got you
started in thinking about wanting to start this particular project.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Well, this is Brett speaking. Uh, we've been told that
we have like really similar voices.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Yeah, so yeah, I can I can tell.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
We are brothers only four years apart. I'm the older one. Uh,
but like I said, this is Brett. I'll have trists
and say his name before he speaks as well. But
I started playing guitar back in twenty sixteen, I believe,
somewhere around there. And actually what really inspired me to

(03:17):
start playing guitar was I watched the movie Purple Rain,
the Prince Prince's movie, and I saw him playing guitar
on stage, and that was just really really cool to me.
So I learned how to play. I started learning how
to play guitar self taught, completely self taught with like
just YouTube videos and tabs and whatnot. And eventually my

(03:43):
music taste evolved into like, you know, heavier stuff. Everybody
starts off with like the same like three guitar riffs,
so like you're learning how to play Smoke on the Water,
you're learning how to play Seven Nation Army, You're learning
how to play Nirvana songs, stuff like that. But it
really evolved into like heavier stuff. I always liked Metallica,

(04:05):
but then like when you actually start listening to Metallica,
you're like, God, this this this band is they really
are something special. They're a legendary band and they're super popular,
but all the less popular stuff is my favorite stuff
by them. But you know, then it just evolved from there,

(04:25):
you know, getting into like Slayer, and then you have
branch out into like the the second tier of thrash
bands that aren't as well known, like Testament and Exodus
and Death Angel stuff like that, and then once you
listen to so much thrash metal, you just start listening
to death metal too. So my guitar playing kind of

(04:46):
just followed all that, and I started writing my own
stuff when I was in like I probably like twenty seventeen.
Most of it was really bad, and Tristan didn't play
drums yet, so it was just straight guitar instrumentals. But
I was not good enough at guitar or writing for

(05:07):
it to be anything interesting. So and then I just
kind of quit writing stuff and then interested and started
playing drums. And I'll hand it over to him and
let him talk about that. Yeah, So I started.

Speaker 4 (05:22):
My musical inspiration started the same as Brett's. I watched
Purple Rain and I saw I originally wanted to play guitar.
I saw Prince play and I was like, man, I want.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
To do that.

Speaker 4 (05:38):
Well, I don't play guitar, So that's one. But I
watched Brett grow and play through his instrument and everything
like that. I was in maybe third grade or something
like that. I was it sounds about right, I was
like nine, So I like watched him progress and everything.

(05:59):
And a couple of years later, I was a guitar
center and one of the employees showed me how to
play the money beat on drums. It's just really simple
for four and I was like, yeah, I want to
do this. So it was kind of a given that
I got like a drum set. Eventually, I think I
got it for my birthday and then, you know, without

(06:24):
kind of saying anything, we just kind of became a band.
We wrote a little bit together. Thinking back now, it's
kind of hard to listen to honestly, just because we've
evolved so much in writing music. But it's cool to

(06:45):
see like the progression and like I started so young
and I get to look back at that now.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, it's definitely.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's definitely good to be able to go back and
reflect on where you came from first is where you
are now. I definitely can relate on that front. My
first couple of I guess interviews that I did with
this podcast are night and day compared to what how

(07:15):
they are now, which is I definitely give a lot
of credit to folks that gave me good advice and offered,
you know, bits and pieces of information that could really
help out.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
So shout out to those folks.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
In terms of like a mentor or someone I guess
other than each other. Did you guys have anyone in
particular that really kind of stepped in and helped out
or was it I know, we know you mentioned that
visiting Guitar Center and things of that nature, but was
there an individual that kind of stepped in and was like,

(07:54):
hey man, try.

Speaker 3 (07:56):
This well when we first start Guarded. I do want
to say real quick that our parents have always been
huge supporters of it. I don't really think that they
understand what I'm screaming about in a lot of the songs, however,
They've always been very supportive of it, but in like

(08:18):
a more of a mentor role. I would say that
we didn't come across anybody that was more like a
mentor to us until we had been a band for
about a year and a half, I would say, and
we got a show with Shake the Dead, who is
a local band here. They have since went their separate ways,
but they were really cool, really cool people. Not only

(08:42):
were they great musicians, they were even better people. And
they Shake the Dead was a newer band than we
were at the time. However, the people in that band
were had been around much longer than we had. They've
been in multiple bands, so they gave us some very
valuable advice on how to you know, get shows. You know,

(09:05):
never passed up a show opportunity, even if it's in
a parking lot somewhere, which has definitely paid off for
us taking all these little dy shows. They shows are
super sick. That is something that I think a lot
of bands need to realize, not only newer bands, but

(09:27):
also bands that have been around for a while because
some of the interactions and the the vibes I guess
I should say at dy shows is better than what
you'll get at like super organized shows. But yeah, and
then as we keep meeting all these other people in
other bands, like like we played our first show with

(09:48):
the Oni Kuma back last May, it was at this point,
I think, and they hadn't I remember when they like
formed exactly. I think technically we had been around longer
but because both of us are in school and whatnot,
we kind of had to take like a bunch of breaks.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, but they had kind of been working very consistently,
so being with them was really cool, you know, getting
to rebel boats with them, and they gave us a
lot of really good advice as well, and then you know,
we eventually uh convinced their bass player to pull double duty.
That's why we got awesome in the band now. But yeah,

(10:28):
a lot of local bands here are super great mentors
and such. But yeah, I'm really happy with how everything
has turned out. Then it comes to our relationships with
other bands, because good to build good relationships, you get
more opportunities.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah, one thousand percent networking and talking with your fellow
musicians and just you know, if you are able to
go to shows, even if it's not your own show,
like go and talk to folks and you can get
to know people in the scene and such.

Speaker 1 (10:57):
Definitely a good idea.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
And a great way to you know, get information on
the things that you're trying to do in your own lane.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Mhm.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
And I was gonna say, it's interesting that you brought
up on Kuma because they've actually they've been on the
show before it's been.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
I would say at least a year since they've been on.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Mhmm. Yeah, we love ony Kuma. They're our favorite. They
are our favorite fellow local band. Oh not only are
they like the coolest schedule for me, I think their
music rips. And I'm not even I'm not even a
big like hardcore music guy, like the genre of art.
I'm not even huge into it. But if you can

(11:49):
do it that, well, you know what I mean that,
I think that speaks a lot as to how talented
they are and what they do.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Oh yeah, sent I personally, I like the hardcore stuff
a little bit more than the thresh sort of stuff.
But I listened to a little bit of everything. So
if my motto is if it sounds good and the
guys are decent, then I'll at least try it and

(12:18):
give it a shot. And usually I end up I
end up fairly satisfied. So you gotta expand your horizon.
Can't just listen to like only one or.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Two things speaking exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
Like, hey, you're missing out on you know, good music,
And a lot of times it ends up being by
people that you know are post and be like you
know you might you just might learn something you.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
Never know, learn something and apply it to your own music.
You know, like rip people off, but like not in
like a direct kind of way and not in like
a way that you'll ever in it. Yeah, that's how
people write music because that they rip things.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
They rip people off from like four different bands, and
it's then it's original then, So you know, that's how
writing music is now.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
So yeah, it's yeah music, it's definitely. I can't remember
which guess it was that we were talking about this,
but basically it's gotten to where now like because everything
is so modern, it's I would say it's hard to
be original, per safe, because obviously there's people that are
being completely original, But I would say it takes more

(13:28):
effort to be original. Yeah, exactly, but there are definitely
some folks out there that are doing the things you
guys included.

Speaker 1 (13:40):
Oh thank you.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yeah, absolutely, So it's been you guys, refleet excuse me
can talk today? You guys released your first EP in
twenty twenty one. What was the process like putting that together?

Speaker 1 (13:58):
If you can recall.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Well, I was I was sixteen years old and I
wrote a lot of that sixteen seventeen years old, and
if all do we think, I'm sorry it's been so long,
And like COVID happened as well, and like COVID was

(14:22):
like a huge thing for not just the entire world
or anything, but it also impacted like our like development
as a band, and like that pales in comparison to
like what happened with COVID, but it does stand dimension
right there. Anyhow, I was still in high school at

(14:43):
the time. Tristan was still in middle school. You know.
We got most of twenty twenty off of school, which yeah,
which was like cool at the time, but like, like
like I said, like looking at the bigger picture, it
was very not cool. H But you know, I was
at home more and you know, writing music. I think

(15:05):
we only wrote like two songs of the EP completely together,
and then the other two were just a result of
me like riffing in my room on like a really
low quality like recording app on my phone, and I
was like, yeah, this is this is it. This is

(15:25):
a song and looking back is not the best way
to write music, and it's it's I have a way
better method now, thankfully, however, and then I'd bring up
to Trista and then we put the drums over it,
and do you want to talk about the like the
recording part of it. Oh.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Yeah, So so it was like I think around September
of twenty twenty is when we recorded the EP, So
I was it took it took a while.

Speaker 3 (15:57):
To write just because I was at this point I
think I was.

Speaker 4 (16:04):
Thirteen, maybe, yeah, I was thirteen, So that took a
while to like, uh write and everything, because you know,
I was a punk middle schooler who was you know,
not wanting to sometimes practice and whatever. Thankfully it's past

(16:28):
and I've obviously gotten a lot better my instruments and
writing and everything. But it took a while to write everything.
But then when we finally recorded, we recorded at downtown
Charleston at.

Speaker 3 (16:45):
Sunny Day Yeah, Sunny Day Studios. Yeah, Sunny Day Studios.
And it was in the basement of a church. So
that's a that's a good Uh, that's a great story. Yeah, no,
it's a good story.

Speaker 4 (17:01):
And looking back now to the final product, while it
is like close to my heart and you know, it's
the first thing we ever did, it's honestly kind of
hard to listen to, I'll be honest, just because we've
gotten way way better.

Speaker 3 (17:20):
Since then. Building off of that, I still listen to
some of the songs on that EP and I'm like,
I don't know what I was thinking writing wise, but
I want to take this opportunity to say that the
next project are gonna be working on after the album

(17:41):
comes out, as we are re recording and like completely
redoing two of the songs from the EP with our
like more. We have a home studio set up in
a spare bedroom, yeah, and that is where Genesis six
eighty six was recorded, and that is where this whole
upcoming album was recorded. So we're gonna try to give

(18:05):
some of that TLC to a couple of the songs
that were on the EP, and you know, try to
give them some give him some justice right there, you know,
make it sound a bit more like like more modern,
like like like Executioners is now. I want to sound
more like how we are now, you know.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Yeah. It's definitely good to have the opportunity to go
back and kind of bring back some of those original
or older songs and then you know, like you said,
give it a little bit of love or a little
bit of DLC. Having the resources and such to be
able to do that is definitely good and I'm glad

(18:51):
that you guys are going to be able to do that.

Speaker 1 (18:54):
And I'm glad that you.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Mentioned the the upcoming things that you guys have because
I noticed I was looking through you guys as like
socials and stuff, and I saw that, you know, you
guys have a new album, new content, more shows. Is
there anything that you would like to share directly real

(19:17):
quick or is it kind of still hush hush, still
in the works kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Yeah, we'll talk about it. I'll talk about a little bit.
Uh uh. As far as show upcoming shows go, I'm
not gonna speak on that at all because there are
other bands involved and I don't and you know, I
don't want to step on their toes or the venues
toes or anything like that.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
So yeah, just out of respect if they want to
keep it quiet.

Speaker 3 (19:44):
For a little bit. But where our album is just
our album, I can talk about that some. I don't
want to give away too much, but I would say, uh,
you guys, and by you guys, I mean just the
world I suppose you could expect to hear are the

(20:05):
lead single and the accompanying music video sometime about a
month or so, I'd say about five six weeks maybe.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Music video. That sounds exciting.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
I know, I'm very excited to finally get it out there.
It's been a very very long road.

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Yeah, we've we so I started trying to learn like
audio engineering and like producing for about two years at
this point.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
Now.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
We we practiced some tracks, like we we did some
covers just to practice. We recorded Pull the Plug by Death.
We never released it, but it was completely done, and
I use I only did it just to get some
good practicing for like mixing and like recording techniques and whatnot.

(21:05):
So when we finally got to actually record the album,
I had a way better.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Idea on how to do it.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
So I knew, you know, the write mic positions for
the drums, and how to make up a guitar cab
good just kind of little stuff. But the whole album,
in the process of it is still me learning on
how to actually run the programs and how everything works

(21:36):
editing and stuff like that. So everything was still learning
as I was going along. And while the process for
the album has taken a long time, I am happy
to say that anything that's going to be released in
the future will be a lot, a lot faster, just

(21:57):
because I actually know what I'm doing now pretty much.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
That is good to hear, and I'm glad that again
that you were able to have that time to learn
and figure things out so that in the future your
releases and the things that you create will reflect that.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Definitely. Yeah, absolutely, I'm definitely glad to hear that.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
So I wanted to ask like a couple of like
fun questions, so maybe not so music related. What kind
of things are you guys hit the mic? What kind
of things are you guys into like outside of music?

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Well, this is Brad speaking. I've just realized that I've
forgotten to like preface my statements even though the same
exact voice apparently I don't hear.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
It, but they're pretty similar, but I can. I can
hear the differences, so it's all.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Good, Okay, good. Well I'll say this, and Tristan is
right there with me. We're super into movies, and not
just any movies. We love movies as a whole, but
horror movies are are there, they are our shit? Oh yeah,
that is is you know at the beginning of every year,

(23:30):
where like what good movies are coming out this year?
You know, like we're talking like opening night of like
Halloween Kills. We were there, you know, opening day of
Halloween twenty eighteen, we were there, Opening night of Saw ten,
we were there. Some people say that the Saw movies

(23:51):
have gone on too long, but I don't think they've
gone long enough. You know.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
I went and Saw, I Saw.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
I saw the last Saw movie with my sister, and
my sister is a huge fan of the franchise. It's
not I'm not gonna talk bad about it because obviously
it means a lot a lot of people. And I
think that the some of the stories were pretty neat
or you know, the things that they picked out for

(24:21):
the plot. It's just a lot of the a lot
of the gore stuff.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
I was kind of like, a little it's.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
A little rough for me personally. Well, I what I
watched it. Would I watch it again?

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Probably?

Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah. See, I got Brett into horror movies.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Actually, so I grew up watching horror movies with my
older sister, Like I watched Brad A Chuck y Uh
for some reason, Halloween Sex a lot. And I always
grew up watching horror movies. So when saw a spiral

(24:59):
from the Book of Saw, came out like maybe almost
four years at this point. Chris Rocke, Yeah, the Chris
rock Saw. Yeah, when that came out, I was like, Bret,
you gotta go see it. He was like, no, I
don't like horror movies, and I was like, dude, just
do it. He went and saw it, and then he
he was curious about how the rest of the Saw
franchise was so for about maybe like there was like

(25:22):
a four day stretch where we watched every Saw movie. Wow,
and then you know, he fell in love with horror.
Like he just started liking Halloween. He started liking Screen
Nightmare on Elm Street Friday thirteenth.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
The First Saw is my favorite movie of all time, though,
like the first ever Saw movie in two thousand and four,
that thing holds up so well and it's like not
even like a horror movie for like most of it,
that's just it's just so well made.

Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah, personally, I don't know if it's my actual favorite,
but one of my favorites is Scream because I remember
being like three or four years old watching it with
my sister and at the very beginning, my sister was like, well,
it's kind of like who done it?

Speaker 3 (26:11):
So, like all these characters you're seeing right here could.

Speaker 4 (26:14):
Be the killer. And I was like, no, you're you're lying.
So I was like, okay, now, let me let me guess.
Let me guess who it is. And I was like, okay,
killers Randy. She was like, no, all right, so it's
Billy for sure. Then she was like no, Stu, No,
So she she lied to me on who the killers were.
So I got so desperate. I was like, maybe it's

(26:35):
the ambulance, the EMT coming out of the coming out
of the house with the dead body. She kept saying
no to everything, so that that, uh, I was for
I took it well though. I took the joke well,
but I didn't uh. I was a little upset she

(26:57):
lied to me the whole time.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
I mean she couldn't give the give the ending away.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
I mean, yeah, yeah, I guess.

Speaker 2 (27:05):
I remember watching the first one and just being for
the first time. I can't even remember when I watched it,
but I remember watching it and being.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
Like, ain't no way, and then the plot twist hits.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
And you're just like what, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
I think my favorite or movie, if I had to
pick a favorite, probably have to be Pet Cemetery, just
because I read the book first, and the book terrified
me for weeks, Like I didn't want to go outside
after like six pm because it was starting to get dark.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
And I was like nope. My mom was like, why
did you read this? Like, oh no, it seems like
a good idea at the time.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
Yeah. I love the original Pet Cemetery. It's a good movie.
That remake from a few years back was terrible, though, Yeah,
I didn't like it.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
I didn't like the remake either.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I saw the poster and I was like, oh, this
is gonna be rough, and then I don't. I don't
think I watched it, but I heard.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I heard it was not not good.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
You didn't miss anything.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
Yeah, that's why I figured, okay the horror movies.

Speaker 2 (28:07):
Horror movies are definitely it's not like my thing per se,
but they're fun.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
They're fun to go see. I think the last like bad.
I don't even know.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
If I would consider it bad. I was just weirdly written.
Have you seen Antlers?

Speaker 3 (28:23):
I have not. No, I haven't.

Speaker 1 (28:26):
Well, I don't want to spoil it for you, but
it was weird.

Speaker 2 (28:29):
It was like I got it, I got I got
the plot, I got where they were going, I got
what they were doing with it, but it just something
about it just screamed like it needed another some some
sprucing up or something like something about.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
It just wasn't hidden.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
And I just remember being in the theater with my
husband and our friend. We were just like what what
just happened?

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Yeah, That's how I felt after watching Colleen Ends. Yeah,
probably everybody thought that.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is that the one where they I, you think it's
the end finally, and then they're like.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Nope, well like that's it's like the I can't remember
they yeah, they they technically did. Uh, So like this
is that was like this is the end? And I'm
like I wouldn't have a problem with them killing Michael
Myers in the movie. I wouldn't. I mean, because everything
has to end at some point. It's just the fact
that Michael Myers was in the movie for like five minutes.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:32):
Yeah, and like they hyped it as like the final
the final showdown between Michael Myers and Laurie Strode and
then like they fought for like two minutes at the end,
and that was just it's somehow like a Worse Friday
Part nine, like Jason goes to Hell, but Jason dies

(29:52):
at the beginning though, but like, still, yeah, I kind
of like they introduced a whole brand new character everything.
Uh that he was, you know, I don't mean to
spoil anything, but he was the the Michael What what
am I looking for? He was like the standing the standard.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
In Michael's final movie, which is which is stupid?

Speaker 3 (30:21):
You know, yeah, that movie is weird. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Yeah, yeah, I not even a horror movie. But I
kind of felt the same way as you felt about
following ends, about that one scene in Dead Wolvert and
Wolverine where shows up and they were like, oh my gosh,
this is a big showdown. It's going to be such

(30:47):
a big deal. And then it ends in like two seconds.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
And you're like, what, Yeah, I always seen you're talking about,
but I've actually uh never never watched.

Speaker 1 (30:59):
I think you should. It's really funny.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
Yeah, I've seen the scene though, so like, I didn't
spoil it, spoil it, no, no, no, you're fine.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
We saw it in theaters. I think I've watched it
three times now because we saw it. We watched it
in theaters and then we watched it with a group
of friends and then I watched it at home because
I was bored one day, and it's still still was
really funny, even though I know what's going to happen.
It's a I think they did a really good job

(31:36):
with it.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Yeah. Yeah, I've never been into I've watched some Marvel movies,
but just never never been Yeah, my my jam I guess.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'm more of a DC girl myself, but my husband
is a huge Marble fan, and I enjoyed a lot
of the Marvel movies. I'm a big comic book fan,
so I like all of it. But if I have
to pick between the two, DC's my damn. Give me
give me Batman, give me Green Lantern, give me a

(32:11):
wonder Woman me all that.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
I will spoil something real quick on the topic comic books.
The uh, the lead single we are releasing in about
a month or so, is about a comic book character.
It's ah, I'm not going to say who, but uh,

(32:35):
all the material is written about them, but I will
say it is not about Batman. Looking back at the
lyrics that we wrote, it sounds like Batman, but it's
really not. You you could interpret it that way, but
it's you know, that's the intention. It doesn't matter how
you perceive it, though, I mean, as long as you

(32:56):
enjoy it. Yeah, it's music, so whatever. That's a beautiful thing.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
About art is you can interpret it any way you want.

Speaker 2 (33:03):
Nerd absolutely as there are a lot of people that
did not like the most recent Batman movie that came out.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
I adore that.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
I love that movie. I love that, loved it too.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
See somebody gets it. I like, I like that movie.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
I'm excited for the sequel to come out, even though
it won't come out until.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
I think they the sun will probably be exploded by that.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, probably probably, Well, we'll get GTA six before it
comes out.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
Probably doesn't GCA six.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
Come out this well? Are they supposed to make an
announcement for it this.

Speaker 3 (33:35):
Whole or I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:36):
I heard somebody say it's coming out like November, and
I was like, no way, no way.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
Yeah, and oh well, for.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
My husband's sake, I hope it does.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
I hope they don't keep, you know, brushing it and
off and brushing it off because people have been from
what I understand, people have been waiting long enough for
GT six.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
So yeah, I'm happy playing Red de Redemption too.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
Though I really love the graphics in that game. I
don't I'm not a huge gamer. I'm not going to
pretend like I am. But watching my husband play it
and watching like how they put the game together and
how like the graphics and everything, and even like the
motion like of the horses and like the nature in

(34:20):
the background, Like they did a really good job with that.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
I was very impressed.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
I mean, when you asked what else we were into
outside of music, one of the things I also should
have mentioned was video games. Uh, we're both super into
video games. We grew up playing them. We kind of
have like different tastes now. But I will also put
something else out there about the album. I did write

(34:47):
a song on this upcoming album about a video game. Uh,
Skyrim is one of the greatest games ever made. So
I wrote a song about it that's on this upcoming album.
And I can't stop playing Skyram Like I like, I'm
on another play through. It's okay, I mean, my nursing

(35:11):
homework is more important, but it's almost like I don't
want to do it.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
I mean, I get it. Everyone goes through that.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
I had that phase or that those moments when I
was in college. I've been out for Oh god, I've
been out for a couple of years now, so I
get it.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
We list nursing homework is hard. I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
Oh my god, you're not telling you're telling me.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
I've like watched my friends like legitimately crash out over
their nursing homework, and I'm.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Like, I'm so sorry. I don't know how to help you.

Speaker 3 (35:47):
Yeah, Tristan can vouch he has seen me crash out
over my nursing homework a number of times. Oh yeah, well,
we'll be sitting around.

Speaker 4 (35:53):
Uh, we'll be sitting around watching football games and.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
We're huge into football. Yeah, yeah, that's something too. He'll
he'll literally fire the runner. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:07):
We could be watching like football games and in the
background he's doing homework. I'm like, man, that's that's going
me soon because I'm still in high school.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
I haven't even graduated yet.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
So i could just you know, watch him go through
the pain of homework and all that, and I'm not
knowing it's gonna have to be.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
I'm not a great advocate for the major of nursing
for him, because all I do is talk about how
much it sucks. But you know, whenever you actually get
out into like the clinical field and you're actually like
doing hands on stuff. It's actually it's actually good. But
like I think it's the lectures that kind of makes
me feel like I want to drop out.

Speaker 2 (36:49):
But the hands on stuff is definitely a lot different
than than the classroom my When I was in college,
my major was biology.

Speaker 1 (36:59):
I ended up doing in a completely different field. Yeah,
I know, gave me.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
I wanted to go to bed school originally, and then
that did not work out at all.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
So I tried a couple of.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Different things after I graduated, and now I work with
autistic adolescents. So yeah, as a behavior sech and it's
really neat.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
And I love my job.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
But when I was in college, I definitely remember those
times where I was going through like my biology coursework
and it was like like zoology and like genetics, and
I just remember being like, I can't do this, There's
no way I finished.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
But that's okay.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
That's how I feel about pharmacology. They're just sony medicine,
sony medicine. Stude. I can't there all of them.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Yeah, I mean there's there's books or splash cards. But
they also changed the names of medications.

Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yea, they have a name and like generic names, and
that's like my problem is like some of the neds
I know by like their generic names, some of them
I know by their brand name, and that that is
a problem.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
I was a med aid for a very short amount
of time, and that was part of the reason why
I'm not a medaid anymore, is because I was like,
I can't, there's no way and doing insulin, oh my god.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Oh my god. Yeah, Insulin's a bit rough depending on
the place. Some hospitals have like the nice little pins
where you can just like draw it to the number
of units that you need to give, and then someplace
you need to draw it up yourself and mix it
with NPH and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
But if you're like putting like the information in like
by hand, and like you mess up like one number,
like it could be catastrophic, and it's just like you
gotta you definitely gotta know what you're doing exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Well, that being said, kind of kind of segueing away
from that a little bit.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Okay, no, you're good, this kind of that's kind of
all I had. Really, I have enjoyed getting to know
you guys very much. I've enjoyed getting to hear about
you know how you guys got into music where you're
going with it, And I'm definitely excited for the music
video you guys have coming out and the new album

(39:20):
and the content.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Definitely maybe looking out for that.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
I hope that everybody likes the music video because we
shot it and it was literally thirteen degrees outside. Yeah,
oh we're out. We were there for we were outside
for maybe five or six hours. Oh wow there, Oh
my god. It was miserable, like oh my, Like we

(39:46):
finished a take and then like ie, we'd have we'd
have the other two band members standing off side with
like gloves and like blankets and jimkins and stuff and
like all my takes over throw me the gloves. Uh.
So yeah, that was really it was. It was a
great time. I wouldn't I wouldn't. I wouldn't trade that
experience for anything, But I also wouldn't do that again.

(40:09):
So yeah, yes, it's one of those things. So I
really hope everybody likes.

Speaker 2 (40:13):
It as much as we want to see her, or
at least, don't go out in thirteen degree weather and
record music videos if you don't have the proper gear
to do.

Speaker 3 (40:23):
So, we didn't know it was gonna be thirteen degrees
when we scheduled the day and we were like, it was.
We shot it in Ohio, so we had to drive
like two and a half three hours to get there.
It wasn't a bad drive at all. But but however
we're like, oh no, oh my god, yeah, we like
we like shot it and like all we all wore
like long sleeves and stuff, which is different because whenever

(40:47):
we perform live, I like never wear sleeves on my shirts.
I'm always wearing them sleeveless, So like for that video,
I have a long sleeve on and like Kristan was
wearing sweatpants for his drum takes. Yeah you could. You
couldn't see it really, but yeah, I was wearing sweat fants.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I mean, hey, you gotta be comfy.

Speaker 3 (41:05):
While Oh yeah, oh end no kidding. It was. It
was miserable. Like I said, you made it their experience,
won't do it again.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
Well, I'm definitely glad that you both survived.

Speaker 3 (41:15):
Oh yeah, it was. It was good. It was. It
was looking dicey there for a minute.

Speaker 2 (41:22):
Yeah, definitely glad that you guys made it through all
of that. That being said, again, I've thoroughly enjoyed talking
with you guys and getting to know you, and I'm
again excited for the things that you have coming out
