Speaker 1 (00:00):
Axel just texted me. They can't get it on his bus,
but can you open the blind so we can see
the TV through his blind?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the podcast Appetite for Distortion, Episode number five
hundred and twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
My name is Brando. Did you just see wow?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
For real? I saw your son and I heard that
number five hundred and twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
That's crazy?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, well, which was crazier the five twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
But as I gave you this whole spiel about he
may joined the episode, he just falls in the frames
so he gets started.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's his name, Harrison Rex? Love it? Yeah, I love it.
I know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We also spoke about you noticed the guns and roses
stuff in the back. I thought about Axel for like
a milliseconds.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I read your wife exnaated.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, she was more for it. She would have oh wow,
to get on that route. And we'll talk about more
Gina later, because I'm I want to talk about our
lady Peace and all this awesome stuff with you. Uh.
We were going to be Axel in. Her favorite band
and artists is Matthe is the Matthews. So Axel Matthews
kind of cool. That's not bad, right, But I can't
be the guy with the g n R podcast and
(01:10):
the kid name yeah here.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I mean he is a cool name. I mean, Rain,
that's that's your given name. That's a cool name.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So we wanted to give him a cool name, so
Harrison Rex I love it namely after the Beatle, just
so you know.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So we met at the Beatles. Oh beautiful, that's good.
That's good karma right there too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I did not expect getting off on that little at
Tanga at the beginning, but I didn't expect any of this, Rain.
I'm honored to speak with you today as a lifelong
our lady, peace fan. I don't know, maybe this is
more of a rhetorical question. Thirty years. I don't know
who feels older, you or I. I'm not like a
(01:49):
big nostalgia guy, so I think it's cool too, you know,
to acknowledge that. But you know, we did these three p's.
We had like picked you know, five songs or four
songs from each decade that kind of represented the band,
but then put a new song on that we just
recorded and recorded of like three songs in Nashville, uh,
(02:11):
late last year with Nick Rasculine. It's was like, you know,
Deaf Tones, Food Fighters, amazing producer, but I for me,
I needed to have new music on those EPs because
it just felt like, I don't know, I just I've
always been about like, what where's our sound going?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What are recording next? That's what defines has been So
that balance was really important.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So you're talking about the O l P thirty Volume one,
Volume two exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Just in case people, I mean, I'll put everything in
the in the summary and all that fun stuff. But
uh but yeah, so that's what's out now, and it
is cool that you are revisiting because I can't help it.
I'm a nostalgia guy. I mean more than just the obvious.
I'm you know, I was just putting I guess had
Ninja Turtles on the shirt the other day. I'm thinking
about my son actually said nature turtles for the first time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
All oh wow, that's big.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So I'm in nostalgia. So whether it's yesterday today, so
I can't help it. But I'm excited about the the news,
so I want to talk about all of it. I
guess that kind of marries itself in a tough way
and in a unique way. When you're taking back an
old song and you're making it new. Whatever the redo,
the reduft, how do you want to how should I
(03:21):
say it?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
With my New York accent?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We do reducts. Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's
one of those things where it plays like you're right,
it plays in nostalgia because when we decided to do
this OLP thirty tour, it was like, Okay, I want
the fans to be invested in this involved. It's you know,
it's partly about them as well, like we're doing it.
You know. That tour was meant to to kind of
(03:43):
like acknowledge, Hey, thank you, you know it was. It
was so it's like I think late one night I
was just like, hey, we want you guys to be
part of this. Just DM me what songs you want
to hear? Help me build a set list. All of
a sudden, it's like every one out of every not three,
but probably one of every four DMS was like, hey,
what's up Rain. I know you guys don't play this song.
(04:06):
I understand why, but if there's any chance you guys
would consider playing whatever, would you do that. So the
story is we recorded this song back in two thousand
and two Wwe asked us to do a theme song
or walkout song for one of the wrestlers, Chris Benoir.
We did it. Tons of great bands did their own
for their the wrestlers. They released this whole record.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It was cool.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But Chris. When we met Chris to talk to him
about the song, met at a restaurant. He came in,
he had a neck brace on. He was so doped
up on pills that his wife basically had to do
all the talking for him. So I was like, this
is there's something weird here, and then lo and behold,
like a few years later, you know, committed suicide, even
a bigger tragedy around that. I won't get into it,
(04:49):
but I'm sure there was some cte. I'm sure a
lot to do with the pills, and I'm sure some
sort of depression or obviously some mental health issues. So
we never ended up playing that song live because it
just did feel right knowing the backstory and everything. So
when fans started saying, hey, would you guys consider this,
A couple fans wrote these really thoughtful notes when they're like, hey,
(05:09):
I've tried to commit suicide. I know the pain that
Chris felt, and I don't want to. They just said, like,
there's a way to make this. So it's a positive.
Not that they're trying to convince me to do the song,
but they're just like, look, there's a message here that
maybe you should consider. And so I started to and
I was like, Okay, if we're going to do this,
I think we need to re record it. Given the
(05:30):
New life, I want to change some lyrics. So that's
what we did with Nick and Nashville, and I've been amazed,
Like we've been playing it all summer long in the
summer Unity Tour with Collectives All Alive, and every time
I talk about, hey, this song is now about trying
to end stigma and help people understand they don't have
to be in crisis, they don't have to suffer in silence,
(05:51):
and we're going to donate all the proceeds from streaming
to you know, suicide outlines and mental health awareness. I'm amazed.
Every night the crowd is just like on their feet,
like erupting, and I'm like, okay, so we have come
a long way in those twenty years in terms of
how we deal with mental health. So I feel like
it was a really great thing and I love that
the fans kind of pushed me to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I think that's the way to do it, is to
have the fans ask for it, because that's who I'm
assuming you're really paying attention to about who this song
may affect if you're just deciding to play it. And
I'm a wrestling fan too. Yeah, most people know that
that horrific story. I remember watching it live. I remember
(06:33):
when Vince McMahon came out and you know, said that
he had passed away, and that was before the story
fully grow. Yeah, his wife and wife and son. But
I want to talk about and most of my listeners know,
I lost my dad to suicide about twelve years ago.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry, thank you. I mean,
i was twenty nine at the time. Now I'm going
(06:54):
to be forty three in a few days. And I've
also I mean, I'm not going to say something that
I don't want to overblow something of stars myself. I've
never personally attempted, but I've not I've lived a lot
of my life not wanting to be here. Right, you
just met my kid. I mean, I've lived, I've gotten
through so much of it. So when you Chris Bin
(07:16):
Wan whenever that's brought up. It's such an interesting case
because it's not just the you know, the depression, it's
all the other stuff. But you're taking it to use
it for what I think is an important message things
that I've lived through where you were right, you said
that the message has changed within those twenty three years
where it was taboo, and now everyone's talking about it.
(07:36):
So you're taking something horrific and you're taking it back
and you're making it your own. And the fact again
the fans that you asked for it. I just want
to let you know that thanks for playing it because
it is a great song and just a message and
what you're talking about with it because we need to
That's that's probably like the biggest thing, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Before therapy, before medication.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm on done all that you need to talk about
it because people need to know there others like you,
because you can get in some scary places. Chris ban
wass scary places, you know, And I hate to say that,
but it's true.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, you're right. I agree, and I you know, I
can't remember said it, but the idea that we don't
treat mental illness like if you're broken arm just because
you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there, right,
So I think, yeah, I was really inspired by the
audiences this year after I told the story and to
see them communicating them where they were and like literally
standing up on the plotting. It's like, okay, like we're
not there yet, but you know, it's it was a
(08:34):
certain demo of people at these shows as well, you know,
and so like they're if you can get someone who's
forty years old to kind of change their ways and
start thinking about ending stigma, and that's that's a good place.
So I feel like we're on the right trajectory.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's what, you know, some of the best things
music has gotten me through so much, including Our Lady Peace.
I can't help but think. And I did warn my
my wife who was watching my year olds in the back,
so he's not going to sabotage his interview. I wonder
about somewhere out there. That's when I really that was
the era where I really got into like I guess
(09:10):
many because that was one of your biggest songs. I
got just when I went I went back and learned
that catalog. But I happened to be dating a Canadian
at that time with purple hair. I don't think it
was the same girl. I'm pretty sure it was not
the same girl. I know it's definitely not. But it's
just like I can't help but think about it every time,
and it's just I don't know, I needed this to
(09:31):
say that coming forward where I was very depressed at
that age and that girl was not very nice to me,
and this was before therapy and not having self worth,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, so it's how have you changed, I guess since
that time, because I know I have.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I mean, look you said it having Harrison, like
having a child gives you not a new lease on life,
but it changes your perspective where you don't have to
be so introspective because you're putting a lot of energy
and heart and love into someone else. I think that's
really positive. And seeing the future through like childlike eyes, right,
It's I've always I've always had this. This it's not
(10:11):
a story, but like this image is like the difference
between you know, especially when you like you're talking about
when you're like twenty eight, twenty nine, so now you
like maybe have a car payment, you're trying to pay rent,
trying to find the right job, the right girlfriend, someone
to marry. Like when you walk out the door, that's
what you see is all this shit, like maybe need
to take the garbage out or whatever. When a child
(10:31):
walks out the door, even though all that shit's there,
they see the clouds and they see like a dinosaur,
you know what I mean. Like and so having that
childlike view I think is so important. And I've always
said music saves me, like every day. It still does.
But my kids definitely were that that that changing point
(10:52):
in my life where it's like, Okay, some of the
pressure's off me because I just need to support and
help them. Not that it minaces what you're going through,
but I think, you know, that other perspective and that
objectivity is so key because we can be we can
suffer in silence so much, but you see your kids smile,
(11:14):
and it just it eases the pain sometimes, you know.
It's such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's so I hate to say cliche, all this stuff
they say about kids, but it's all true. It is
all true, and including your dinosaur reference. That's why his
middle name is Rex. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't
an accidental Rex Harrison, even though it was a great actor.
It's just he wanted to have too long of a
name because we kept both of our last names. So
(11:38):
Rex and would love dinosaurs and all that that. What's
your last name? Are you Italian? Are you telling Jewish?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm Jewish?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, a long name, yeah yeah. So I mean,
well people could google me and whatever. I don't think
we're that secret, but it would be Harrison Mortimer. Let's
to say, Sorenson Weisler, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I know Rex in there.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
We had to get in it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So I guess that also got me thinking, because you
have a documentary with your wife from a few years
ago about making your record, because you have three boys yourself,
any temptation because I mean, as he gets older, I
wanted him to be involved and ask questions, any temptation
to get them involved in a documentary or your projector
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with their ages, and.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, they're I mean they're all they're all they're all
like teenagers, but they're I think I think being around
music has been really healthy for them because it's an expression, right,
and I have always said, like music is cheaper than
riddlin and so the idea that they can any at
any moment like that, or you're in my I'm in
my studio here there's a live room on the other
(12:42):
side they can't see, but at any moment they can
close the door. It's like soundproof. They can bang on
the piano, they can play drums, pick up a guitar
and I and they do that. I think, like I
think that and that's the key when you talk about
mental health. It's like finding these outlets for you where
you're not not internalizing everything and you get some of
(13:02):
that that negative energy out. And some people can do
it by writing or painting or going for a run.
You know. It's like all these things are all there
available to us. It's just how do we what are we?
What are we connected to? As humans? Everyone's individual, but
my kids definitely like the music part, I think is
is really key, you know. Uh. And it's not just
(13:24):
playing music. It's like I hear what they listen to
and I can tell you know. It's like if we
get in the car and my son sal puts on
like a song with that lyrics, I know there's something
going on and we'll start talking about stuff. And it's
like such a great litmus test, you know, for for
where you're at. It's such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We definitely surround them with music, whether it's toy drums
or taking them out with his music being played and
all that fun stuff. I know, my time here with
you is limited. I do want to get in because
it's actually the I love my segues, I love you know,
kind of finding a thread with everything, because this podcast
(14:01):
came out of me having an outlet. You know, I've
been in radio for twenty four years, but I've never
had I've just been like the guy at the radio
talking between you know, Zeppelin and the Stones for thirty
seconds for the million time and producing and all that.
I still do it and i still love it, but
I've never had this kind of outlet. So it gets
me the chance to talk to you. So before I
(14:23):
forget though a more positive wrestling question before he switched
to the g and Our stuff, Cody Rhoades recently was
asked whose favorite band was, and he said out lady Peace,
I know, I know he's a I didn't know who
they were or who you were. I know, I know,
I yeah, I mean he's a yeah, It's amazing how
it comes full circle because I love him. He's an
(14:45):
amazing wrestler, but amazing guy as well. And it's funny
because I was talking to his manager and I was
just like, you know, I know he said that, but
how rio is that? And like she told me, he's like, dude,
before the big events, he listens to a song called
Ballad of a Poet, which is a newer song in
a very deep cut, and so I was like, holy shit,
(15:06):
if that, if that's what, like, you're a real one,
Like that's not you know, he he's he's definitely a fan.
So I look, I'm honored.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I love him. He's such a he's such an amazing dude.
But yeah, it's it's always uh, I don't know, it's humbling,
you know when you get guys like that that that
appreciate the band.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That was very cool. That was a cool answer because
there wasn't a cliche answer. And you hear that he's
he's a real fan. You know, you just got to
get stone cold hip.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, he's all he's he's.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Probably uh so I gotta ask I put out a
clip because you've toured with Guns and Roses recently. A
couple of times it was on your your YouTube channel.
One of your favorite memories of the tour was Axel
watching Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
My God McGregor fight McGregor Mayweather. Favorite memory of guns
and roses, Axel Rose watching the Connor McGregor Mayweather fight
through his bus window into our bus. I'm not sure
why you can just buy it.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Please tell the story and why he didn't pay for
I guess.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I mean it's so crazy. So we did. Uh,
I don't know how many shows. We opened, like five
or six shows for them, and we were sitting at
a you know, they they they have a lot of
days off in between shows. I mean, I'm sure it's
the staging, but sure Actual is protecting his voice so
it'd be a show and then like three days off.
I was like, whoa, what are we gonna do? But
(16:33):
we were we had a night off and we're all
staying in the same hotel and our buses were all
lined up together, and I was so, I'm a big
UFC fan. I love boxing too. Miss McGregor Mayweather fight
was coming up, so it was it was really hard
to get on a bus because of the satellite configuration
(16:54):
and the pay per view stuff, and so finally we
got it. But we had some people from the Rose's
crew that I was talking to during the day. I
was like, yeah, I'm trying to get the fight. Let
me know. If you guys get it, we'll figure out
how to watch it together. And then I was like,
we got it, and I'm texting him. So they all
came on the bus and they were sitting on the
bus and one of the girls from from from Axel's
(17:15):
bus was like, Axel just texted me. He's like, they
can't get it on his bus, but he does the
one come watch it with you guys, but can you
open the blind so he can see the TV through
his blinds through his bus and you can sit there
and watch your TV. I was like, oh, my goodness,
of course of course we will.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
So we just.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Opened our blinds and I guess he watched it from
his bus?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I guess the first question he didn't want to watch
it with you guys because he was well, you know,
or he doesn't you guys smell or what happened? You know?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
We had a bus, a bus full of rowdy people.
I'm sure he wasn't in the movie. And I get
it like as a singer, he's probably doesn't want to
come on and have to talk to people. He's trying
to save his voice, so okay, But yeah, it was
I you know, I love we could do him that solid.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That's that is That is cool.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Other fond memories of I guess not even just touring
with genre growing up. Did you ever get a chance
to see them whenever they played, you know, around Trondum
or the first time seeing them was when you opened
for them.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It was it was and I was like, I was
a hugely impressed by them because I always always heard
that Duff was a fan of the band because he
had a side project and they'd reached out one point
about maybe me singing on a song or something, so
I knew there was like a connection there. But I
remember when we opened for on our first album, Robert
(18:36):
Plant heard a song that we released called star Scene
in his limo and called us. Our manager was like,
this band has to open for us. We're starting this
Robert the Page and Plant thing Chicago. Make sure they're there.
So we canceled our gig at Boston, drove to Chicago
to open for him. But the and he was amazing
he was the sweetheart. But what I remember is how
(18:58):
open the fans were. I was like, the fans gonna
hate us for like this new alt band, alt rock band.
They're like six year old Zeppelin fans. They're not going
to dig it. But they were so music open minded
that they we got like a standing ovation after at
the end of our set. The Guns and Roses audience
is kind of the same, like there's something about that
audience where because we did fifty shows of Van Halen
(19:20):
and they weren't they were like, give me the finger
the whole time. They didn't want to hear our lady piece.
But the Guns and Roses fans were really again, like
they were very open to music. And I know they
paid the sea Guns and Roses, but it was it
was an amazing experience. So that was like it was
whatever two and a half weeks.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And star Seed is actually just that good of a song.
That's that's what the moral maybe, yeah, maybe that's the
moral of this story. Now let's I hear that in
my head and I have to go listen to uh
to that and a lot more.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I told you, I'm a fan. I can't help Yeah, yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I can't help with the the Chris Farley comes out
like Chris Farley Show.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, yeah, yah yea, you remember when?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So that's part of my.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So what is because the the tour is officially done,
now you're officially are you home now with probably?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I just like that.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, that was nine weeks. It was. It was amazing
those guys are I love all those guys like brothers.
It was good to be home like that was a
long ass tour and it was hot as shit, like
everywhere we went. I mean we played Jones Beach and
it was so hot that I think you guys got
the most rain ever. The show wasn't canceled, but it
was postponed. It rained like three feet in like two hours.
(20:36):
It was insane. And if it wasn't raining like that
and we were canceling shows, it was like one hundred
and four degrees on stage.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
So but but.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Amazing, like amazing memories and audiences were awesome. Like I said,
the bands are great. So and you're talking Jones Beach
right here in New York, right yep? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So uh once Harrison gets too of like I mean
he's been to the Math shows, but once he gets
to the rocking age, they're actually trying to get him
to do the horns and he's like trying to figure
it out. Yeah, get it, good sign language. I'm gonna
take him to all these all these shows. It also
reminds me to say, I got so jealous when you
guys were announced open it up for GNR in Canada,
(21:15):
because I think that's G and R fans we get
it because they have such an array of opening bands.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, but still again, star Seed is just that that
could have a song.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So how are you gonna? Well, I guess before I
let you go, because.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
How are you going to relax other than doing interviews?
So are you gonna relax or you gonna the next
thing you already have cooking?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, I mean we wanted like the three songs we
put on those, the Volume one, two, and three, those EPs,
they're really just the first three songs on an album
we're trying to finish. So we're gonna try to finish.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That this fall.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
We're announcing our own headlining tour of the US for
like February March, so that'll happen soon. Start getting ready
for that. It's busy yeah, it's busy, Like I'm home,
but we're busy.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Our Ladypiece show too loud for two and a half
year old almost three year old, too aloud.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
If I don't yeah, I mean, if you get.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Those headphones, bring them sit side stage with us. Maybe
that's the way to do so.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Funny, I'm so eager. My wife is more of a
concert freak. She's just like, you know, become come great
if not. But I just I don't want to. I
don't like leaving them. I tell all the cliches. We
talked about it at the beginning. I'm just like, I'm attached.
How do I How was I depressed for all those
many years? If I knew, if I only knew, if
you only knew, I only knew, if I wass cann
interview Rain, I made him from a from Lady Piece.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I dude, the kid thing is is real. But I
would say like, yeah, I don't know, Like we've seen
some super young kids even on this tour this summer. Like,
as long as you have the headphones, it's it's a
it's a visual experience too, you know, as long as
you protect their hearing, it's I don't think it's a
bad thing.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I just went on things somewhere out there.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So I appreciate it. Rain, just for your time today
and all the great music and all this stuff. Talk
about mental health. It's a it's a conversation that everyone
needs to keep talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's how we beat this thing.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So just uh, just thank you for your time, and
I hope we get to do this again.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I appreciate you, Brandon. I'll leave you the one thing.
So after Jones Beach, we had to day off in
New York Bradley Cooper's Cheese take Place that Coop, Danny
and Coop's we played Philly. I've eaten every cheeseteak in Philly.
That place is legit. You guys have a legit cheeseteak
place in New York.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think maybe they give you because you kind of
look like Bradley Cooper right now. I think a special,
a special you know, cheese.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
No, dude, that's the thing is, that's all you can order.
And there is one cheese steak that's the only thing
on the menue. I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I love it awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'm I'm not up to I'm not like I don't
make a habit of shouting out celebrities. But as soon
as someone mentions New York Now that cheese steak was
so good, that's all I think about.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Oh that's how cool.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Well, I gotta be at the nerd that I am
and be like, I'm lactose in tolerance, so I can't
eat it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Got just so is my youngest son, which sucks. But
you can probably get no cheese on the cheese steak.
Maybe they make it eception. I know it's not even
my ife. Not not gonna get off on a tangent.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'm telling you, despite my girlish figure, I grew up
on like fast food and pizza, and once I hit forty,
I'm gonna be again.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm gonna be forty two in a few days. Everything
is like, nope, nope, you are you can't eat.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I know it sucks. I feel you.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's a conversation for.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The exactly exactly exactly, So.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
That does it this episode of appetite forward the stortion.
When will we see the next one?
Speaker 2 (24:26):
In the words of AXL. Rose, concerning Chinese democracy, I
don't know as soon as the word, but you'll see it.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Thanks to the lame as security, I'm going home
Axel just texted me. They can't get it on his bus,
but can you open the blind so we can see
the TV through his blind?
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Welcome to the podcast Appetite for Distortion, Episode number five
hundred and twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
My name is Brando. Did you just see wow?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
For real? I saw your son and I heard that
number five hundred and twenty eight.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
That's crazy?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yeah, well, which was crazier the five twenty eight?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (00:27):
But as I gave you this whole spiel about he
may joined the episode, he just falls in the frames
so he gets started.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
What's his name, Harrison Rex? Love it? Yeah, I love it.
I know.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
We also spoke about you noticed the guns and roses
stuff in the back. I thought about Axel for like
a milliseconds.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
I read your wife exnaated.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
No, she was more for it. She would have oh wow,
to get on that route. And we'll talk about more
Gina later, because I'm I want to talk about our
lady Peace and all this awesome stuff with you. Uh.
We were going to be Axel in. Her favorite band
and artists is Matthe is the Matthews. So Axel Matthews
kind of cool. That's not bad, right, But I can't
be the guy with the g n R podcast and
(01:10):
the kid name yeah here.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I mean he is a cool name. I mean, Rain,
that's that's your given name. That's a cool name.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
So we wanted to give him a cool name, so
Harrison Rex I love it namely after the Beatle, just
so you know.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
So we met at the Beatles. Oh beautiful, that's good.
That's good karma right there too.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I did not expect getting off on that little at
Tanga at the beginning, but I didn't expect any of this, Rain.
I'm honored to speak with you today as a lifelong
our lady, peace fan. I don't know, maybe this is
more of a rhetorical question. Thirty years. I don't know
who feels older, you or I. I'm not like a
(01:49):
big nostalgia guy, so I think it's cool too, you know,
to acknowledge that. But you know, we did these three p's.
We had like picked you know, five songs or four
songs from each decade that kind of represented the band,
but then put a new song on that we just
recorded and recorded of like three songs in Nashville, uh,
(02:11):
late last year with Nick Rasculine. It's was like, you know,
Deaf Tones, Food Fighters, amazing producer, but I for me,
I needed to have new music on those EPs because
it just felt like, I don't know, I just I've
always been about like, what where's our sound going?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
What are recording next? That's what defines has been So
that balance was really important.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So you're talking about the O l P thirty Volume one,
Volume two exactly.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Just in case people, I mean, I'll put everything in
the in the summary and all that fun stuff. But
uh but yeah, so that's what's out now, and it
is cool that you are revisiting because I can't help it.
I'm a nostalgia guy. I mean more than just the obvious.
I'm you know, I was just putting I guess had
Ninja Turtles on the shirt the other day. I'm thinking
about my son actually said nature turtles for the first time.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
All oh wow, that's big.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
So I'm in nostalgia. So whether it's yesterday today, so
I can't help it. But I'm excited about the the news,
so I want to talk about all of it. I
guess that kind of marries itself in a tough way
and in a unique way. When you're taking back an
old song and you're making it new. Whatever the redo,
the reduft, how do you want to how should I
(03:21):
say it?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
With my New York accent?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
We do reducts. Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's
one of those things where it plays like you're right,
it plays in nostalgia because when we decided to do
this OLP thirty tour, it was like, Okay, I want
the fans to be invested in this involved. It's you know,
it's partly about them as well, like we're doing it.
You know. That tour was meant to to kind of
(03:43):
like acknowledge, Hey, thank you, you know it was. It
was so it's like I think late one night I
was just like, hey, we want you guys to be
part of this. Just DM me what songs you want
to hear? Help me build a set list. All of
a sudden, it's like every one out of every not three,
but probably one of every four DMS was like, hey,
what's up Rain. I know you guys don't play this song.
(04:06):
I understand why, but if there's any chance you guys
would consider playing whatever, would you do that. So the
story is we recorded this song back in two thousand
and two Wwe asked us to do a theme song
or walkout song for one of the wrestlers, Chris Benoir.
We did it. Tons of great bands did their own
for their the wrestlers. They released this whole record.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
It was cool.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
But Chris. When we met Chris to talk to him
about the song, met at a restaurant. He came in,
he had a neck brace on. He was so doped
up on pills that his wife basically had to do
all the talking for him. So I was like, this
is there's something weird here, and then lo and behold,
like a few years later, you know, committed suicide, even
a bigger tragedy around that. I won't get into it,
(04:49):
but I'm sure there was some cte. I'm sure a
lot to do with the pills, and I'm sure some
sort of depression or obviously some mental health issues. So
we never ended up playing that song live because it
just did feel right knowing the backstory and everything. So
when fans started saying, hey, would you guys consider this,
A couple fans wrote these really thoughtful notes when they're like, hey,
(05:09):
I've tried to commit suicide. I know the pain that
Chris felt, and I don't want to. They just said, like,
there's a way to make this. So it's a positive.
Not that they're trying to convince me to do the song,
but they're just like, look, there's a message here that
maybe you should consider. And so I started to and
I was like, Okay, if we're going to do this,
I think we need to re record it. Given the
(05:30):
New life, I want to change some lyrics. So that's
what we did with Nick and Nashville, and I've been amazed,
Like we've been playing it all summer long in the
summer Unity Tour with Collectives All Alive, and every time
I talk about, hey, this song is now about trying
to end stigma and help people understand they don't have
to be in crisis, they don't have to suffer in silence,
(05:51):
and we're going to donate all the proceeds from streaming
to you know, suicide outlines and mental health awareness. I'm amazed.
Every night the crowd is just like on their feet,
like erupting, and I'm like, okay, so we have come
a long way in those twenty years in terms of
how we deal with mental health. So I feel like
it was a really great thing and I love that
the fans kind of pushed me to do it.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I think that's the way to do it, is to
have the fans ask for it, because that's who I'm
assuming you're really paying attention to about who this song
may affect if you're just deciding to play it. And
I'm a wrestling fan too. Yeah, most people know that
that horrific story. I remember watching it live. I remember
(06:33):
when Vince McMahon came out and you know, said that
he had passed away, and that was before the story
fully grow. Yeah, his wife and wife and son. But
I want to talk about and most of my listeners know,
I lost my dad to suicide about twelve years ago.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry, thank you. I mean,
i was twenty nine at the time. Now I'm going
(06:54):
to be forty three in a few days. And I've
also I mean, I'm not going to say something that
I don't want to overblow something of stars myself. I've
never personally attempted, but I've not I've lived a lot
of my life not wanting to be here. Right, you
just met my kid. I mean, I've lived, I've gotten
through so much of it. So when you Chris Bin
(07:16):
Wan whenever that's brought up. It's such an interesting case
because it's not just the you know, the depression, it's
all the other stuff. But you're taking it to use
it for what I think is an important message things
that I've lived through where you were right, you said
that the message has changed within those twenty three years
where it was taboo, and now everyone's talking about it.
(07:36):
So you're taking something horrific and you're taking it back
and you're making it your own. And the fact again
the fans that you asked for it. I just want
to let you know that thanks for playing it because
it is a great song and just a message and
what you're talking about with it because we need to
That's that's probably like the biggest thing, you know.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Before therapy, before medication.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
I'm on done all that you need to talk about
it because people need to know there others like you,
because you can get in some scary places. Chris ban
wass scary places, you know, And I hate to say that,
but it's true.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
No, you're right. I agree, and I you know, I
can't remember said it, but the idea that we don't
treat mental illness like if you're broken arm just because
you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there, right,
So I think, yeah, I was really inspired by the
audiences this year after I told the story and to
see them communicating them where they were and like literally
standing up on the plotting. It's like, okay, like we're
not there yet, but you know, it's it was a
(08:34):
certain demo of people at these shows as well, you know,
and so like they're if you can get someone who's
forty years old to kind of change their ways and
start thinking about ending stigma, and that's that's a good place.
So I feel like we're on the right trajectory.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
And that's what, you know, some of the best things
music has gotten me through so much, including Our Lady Peace.
I can't help but think. And I did warn my
my wife who was watching my year olds in the back,
so he's not going to sabotage his interview. I wonder
about somewhere out there. That's when I really that was
the era where I really got into like I guess
(09:10):
many because that was one of your biggest songs. I
got just when I went I went back and learned
that catalog. But I happened to be dating a Canadian
at that time with purple hair. I don't think it
was the same girl. I'm pretty sure it was not
the same girl. I know it's definitely not. But it's
just like I can't help but think about it every time,
and it's just I don't know, I needed this to
(09:31):
say that coming forward where I was very depressed at
that age and that girl was not very nice to me,
and this was before therapy and not having self worth,
you know.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, so it's how have you changed, I guess since
that time, because I know I have.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Yeah, I mean, look you said it having Harrison, like
having a child gives you not a new lease on life,
but it changes your perspective where you don't have to
be so introspective because you're putting a lot of energy
and heart and love into someone else. I think that's
really positive. And seeing the future through like childlike eyes, right,
It's I've always I've always had this. This it's not
(10:11):
a story, but like this image is like the difference
between you know, especially when you like you're talking about
when you're like twenty eight, twenty nine, so now you
like maybe have a car payment, you're trying to pay rent,
trying to find the right job, the right girlfriend, someone
to marry. Like when you walk out the door, that's
what you see is all this shit, like maybe need
to take the garbage out or whatever. When a child
(10:31):
walks out the door, even though all that shit's there,
they see the clouds and they see like a dinosaur,
you know what I mean. Like and so having that
childlike view I think is so important. And I've always
said music saves me, like every day. It still does.
But my kids definitely were that that that changing point
(10:52):
in my life where it's like, Okay, some of the
pressure's off me because I just need to support and
help them. Not that it minaces what you're going through,
but I think, you know, that other perspective and that
objectivity is so key because we can be we can
suffer in silence so much, but you see your kids smile,
(11:14):
and it just it eases the pain sometimes, you know.
It's such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's so I hate to say cliche, all this stuff
they say about kids, but it's all true. It is
all true, and including your dinosaur reference. That's why his
middle name is Rex. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't
an accidental Rex Harrison, even though it was a great actor.
It's just he wanted to have too long of a
name because we kept both of our last names. So
(11:38):
Rex and would love dinosaurs and all that that. What's
your last name? Are you Italian? Are you telling Jewish?
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I'm Jewish?
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Yeah, yeah, a long name, yeah yeah. So I mean,
well people could google me and whatever. I don't think
we're that secret, but it would be Harrison Mortimer. Let's
to say, Sorenson Weisler, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
So I know Rex in there.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
We had to get in it.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So I guess that also got me thinking, because you
have a documentary with your wife from a few years
ago about making your record, because you have three boys yourself,
any temptation because I mean, as he gets older, I
wanted him to be involved and ask questions, any temptation
to get them involved in a documentary or your projector
I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with their ages, and.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
No, they're I mean they're all they're all they're all
like teenagers, but they're I think I think being around
music has been really healthy for them because it's an expression, right,
and I have always said, like music is cheaper than
riddlin and so the idea that they can any at
any moment like that, or you're in my I'm in
my studio here there's a live room on the other
(12:42):
side they can't see, but at any moment they can
close the door. It's like soundproof. They can bang on
the piano, they can play drums, pick up a guitar
and I and they do that. I think, like I
think that and that's the key when you talk about
mental health. It's like finding these outlets for you where
you're not not internalizing everything and you get some of
(13:02):
that that negative energy out. And some people can do
it by writing or painting or going for a run.
You know. It's like all these things are all there
available to us. It's just how do we what are we?
What are we connected to? As humans? Everyone's individual, but
my kids definitely like the music part, I think is
is really key, you know. Uh. And it's not just
(13:24):
playing music. It's like I hear what they listen to
and I can tell you know. It's like if we
get in the car and my son sal puts on
like a song with that lyrics, I know there's something
going on and we'll start talking about stuff. And it's
like such a great litmus test, you know, for for
where you're at. It's such a beautiful thing.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
We definitely surround them with music, whether it's toy drums
or taking them out with his music being played and
all that fun stuff. I know, my time here with
you is limited. I do want to get in because
it's actually the I love my segues, I love you know,
kind of finding a thread with everything, because this podcast
(14:01):
came out of me having an outlet. You know, I've
been in radio for twenty four years, but I've never
had I've just been like the guy at the radio
talking between you know, Zeppelin and the Stones for thirty
seconds for the million time and producing and all that.
I still do it and i still love it, but
I've never had this kind of outlet. So it gets
me the chance to talk to you. So before I
(14:23):
forget though a more positive wrestling question before he switched
to the g and Our stuff, Cody Rhoades recently was
asked whose favorite band was, and he said out lady Peace,
I know, I know he's a I didn't know who
they were or who you were. I know, I know,
I yeah, I mean he's a yeah, It's amazing how
it comes full circle because I love him. He's an
(14:45):
amazing wrestler, but amazing guy as well. And it's funny
because I was talking to his manager and I was
just like, you know, I know he said that, but
how rio is that? And like she told me, he's like, dude,
before the big events, he listens to a song called
Ballad of a Poet, which is a newer song in
a very deep cut, and so I was like, holy shit,
(15:06):
if that, if that's what, like, you're a real one,
Like that's not you know, he he's he's definitely a fan.
So I look, I'm honored.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
I love him. He's such a he's such an amazing dude.
But yeah, it's it's always uh, I don't know, it's humbling,
you know when you get guys like that that that
appreciate the band.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
That was very cool. That was a cool answer because
there wasn't a cliche answer. And you hear that he's
he's a real fan. You know, you just got to
get stone cold hip.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Yeah, he's all he's he's.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Probably uh so I gotta ask I put out a
clip because you've toured with Guns and Roses recently. A
couple of times it was on your your YouTube channel.
One of your favorite memories of the tour was Axel
watching Oh.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
My God McGregor fight McGregor Mayweather. Favorite memory of guns
and roses, Axel Rose watching the Connor McGregor Mayweather fight
through his bus window into our bus. I'm not sure
why you can just buy it.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Please tell the story and why he didn't pay for
I guess.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I mean it's so crazy. So we did. Uh,
I don't know how many shows. We opened, like five
or six shows for them, and we were sitting at
a you know, they they they have a lot of
days off in between shows. I mean, I'm sure it's
the staging, but sure Actual is protecting his voice so
it'd be a show and then like three days off.
I was like, whoa, what are we gonna do? But
(16:33):
we were we had a night off and we're all
staying in the same hotel and our buses were all
lined up together, and I was so, I'm a big
UFC fan. I love boxing too. Miss McGregor Mayweather fight
was coming up, so it was it was really hard
to get on a bus because of the satellite configuration
(16:54):
and the pay per view stuff, and so finally we
got it. But we had some people from the Rose's
crew that I was talking to during the day. I
was like, yeah, I'm trying to get the fight. Let
me know. If you guys get it, we'll figure out
how to watch it together. And then I was like,
we got it, and I'm texting him. So they all
came on the bus and they were sitting on the
bus and one of the girls from from from Axel's
(17:15):
bus was like, Axel just texted me. He's like, they
can't get it on his bus, but he does the
one come watch it with you guys, but can you
open the blind so he can see the TV through
his blinds through his bus and you can sit there
and watch your TV. I was like, oh, my goodness,
of course of course we will.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
So we just.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Opened our blinds and I guess he watched it from
his bus?
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Did he?
Speaker 2 (17:39):
I guess the first question he didn't want to watch
it with you guys because he was well, you know,
or he doesn't you guys smell or what happened? You know?
Speaker 1 (17:47):
We had a bus, a bus full of rowdy people.
I'm sure he wasn't in the movie. And I get
it like as a singer, he's probably doesn't want to
come on and have to talk to people. He's trying
to save his voice, so okay, But yeah, it was
I you know, I love we could do him that solid.
Speaker 3 (18:02):
That's that is That is cool.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
Other fond memories of I guess not even just touring
with genre growing up. Did you ever get a chance
to see them whenever they played, you know, around Trondum
or the first time seeing them was when you opened
for them.
Speaker 1 (18:16):
It was it was and I was like, I was
a hugely impressed by them because I always always heard
that Duff was a fan of the band because he
had a side project and they'd reached out one point
about maybe me singing on a song or something, so
I knew there was like a connection there. But I
remember when we opened for on our first album, Robert
(18:36):
Plant heard a song that we released called star Scene
in his limo and called us. Our manager was like,
this band has to open for us. We're starting this
Robert the Page and Plant thing Chicago. Make sure they're there.
So we canceled our gig at Boston, drove to Chicago
to open for him. But the and he was amazing
he was the sweetheart. But what I remember is how
(18:58):
open the fans were. I was like, the fans gonna
hate us for like this new alt band, alt rock band.
They're like six year old Zeppelin fans. They're not going
to dig it. But they were so music open minded
that they we got like a standing ovation after at
the end of our set. The Guns and Roses audience
is kind of the same, like there's something about that
audience where because we did fifty shows of Van Halen
(19:20):
and they weren't they were like, give me the finger
the whole time. They didn't want to hear our lady piece.
But the Guns and Roses fans were really again, like
they were very open to music. And I know they
paid the sea Guns and Roses, but it was it
was an amazing experience. So that was like it was
whatever two and a half weeks.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
And star Seed is actually just that good of a song.
That's that's what the moral maybe, yeah, maybe that's the
moral of this story. Now let's I hear that in
my head and I have to go listen to uh
to that and a lot more.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I told you, I'm a fan. I can't help Yeah, yeah,
I love it.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I can't help with the the Chris Farley comes out
like Chris Farley Show.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
You remember that?
Speaker 1 (19:59):
Yeah, yeah, yah yea, you remember when?
Speaker 3 (20:02):
So that's part of my.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
So what is because the the tour is officially done,
now you're officially are you home now with probably?
Speaker 3 (20:11):
I just like that.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Yeah, that was nine weeks. It was. It was amazing
those guys are I love all those guys like brothers.
It was good to be home like that was a
long ass tour and it was hot as shit, like
everywhere we went. I mean we played Jones Beach and
it was so hot that I think you guys got
the most rain ever. The show wasn't canceled, but it
was postponed. It rained like three feet in like two hours.
(20:36):
It was insane. And if it wasn't raining like that
and we were canceling shows, it was like one hundred
and four degrees on stage.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
So but but.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Amazing, like amazing memories and audiences were awesome. Like I said,
the bands are great. So and you're talking Jones Beach
right here in New York, right yep? Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
So uh once Harrison gets too of like I mean
he's been to the Math shows, but once he gets
to the rocking age, they're actually trying to get him
to do the horns and he's like trying to figure
it out. Yeah, get it, good sign language. I'm gonna
take him to all these all these shows. It also
reminds me to say, I got so jealous when you
guys were announced open it up for GNR in Canada,
(21:15):
because I think that's G and R fans we get
it because they have such an array of opening bands.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:21):
Yeah, but still again, star Seed is just that that
could have a song.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
So how are you gonna? Well, I guess before I
let you go, because.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
How are you going to relax other than doing interviews?
So are you gonna relax or you gonna the next
thing you already have cooking?
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Yeah, I mean we wanted like the three songs we
put on those, the Volume one, two, and three, those EPs,
they're really just the first three songs on an album
we're trying to finish. So we're gonna try to finish.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
That this fall.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
We're announcing our own headlining tour of the US for
like February March, so that'll happen soon. Start getting ready
for that. It's busy yeah, it's busy, Like I'm home,
but we're busy.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Our Ladypiece show too loud for two and a half
year old almost three year old, too aloud.
Speaker 3 (22:03):
If I don't yeah, I mean, if you get.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Those headphones, bring them sit side stage with us. Maybe
that's the way to do so.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
Funny, I'm so eager. My wife is more of a
concert freak. She's just like, you know, become come great
if not. But I just I don't want to. I
don't like leaving them. I tell all the cliches. We
talked about it at the beginning. I'm just like, I'm attached.
How do I How was I depressed for all those
many years? If I knew, if I only knew, if
you only knew, I only knew, if I wass cann
interview Rain, I made him from a from Lady Piece.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I dude, the kid thing is is real. But I
would say like, yeah, I don't know, Like we've seen
some super young kids even on this tour this summer. Like,
as long as you have the headphones, it's it's a
it's a visual experience too, you know, as long as
you protect their hearing, it's I don't think it's a
bad thing.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I just went on things somewhere out there.
Speaker 1 (22:49):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
So I appreciate it. Rain, just for your time today
and all the great music and all this stuff. Talk
about mental health. It's a it's a conversation that everyone
needs to keep talking about.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
That's how we beat this thing.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
So just uh, just thank you for your time, and
I hope we get to do this again.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I appreciate you, Brandon. I'll leave you the one thing.
So after Jones Beach, we had to day off in
New York Bradley Cooper's Cheese take Place that Coop, Danny
and Coop's we played Philly. I've eaten every cheeseteak in Philly.
That place is legit. You guys have a legit cheeseteak
place in New York.
Speaker 3 (23:23):

Speaker 2 (23:24):
I think maybe they give you because you kind of
look like Bradley Cooper right now. I think a special,
a special you know, cheese.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
No, dude, that's the thing is, that's all you can order.
And there is one cheese steak that's the only thing
on the menue. I love it.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
I love it awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I'm I'm not up to I'm not like I don't
make a habit of shouting out celebrities. But as soon
as someone mentions New York Now that cheese steak was
so good, that's all I think about.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Oh that's how cool.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
Well, I gotta be at the nerd that I am
and be like, I'm lactose in tolerance, so I can't
eat it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Got just so is my youngest son, which sucks. But
you can probably get no cheese on the cheese steak.
Maybe they make it eception. I know it's not even
my ife. Not not gonna get off on a tangent.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'm telling you, despite my girlish figure, I grew up
on like fast food and pizza, and once I hit forty,
I'm gonna be again.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
I'm gonna be forty two in a few days. Everything
is like, nope, nope, you are you can't eat.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Yeah, I know it sucks. I feel you.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
That's a conversation for.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
The exactly exactly exactly, So.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
