I'll be honest, I've never interviewed somebody that looks like
they just escaped from prison.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
But here we are. You know, like, you did the thing.
I don't know if it was Alcatraz or wherever it was,
but you did it.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Something like that. Look at that, Yeah, you kind of
have that look going. I just realized that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I usually get like Orange County real estate agent, but
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Is that what they look like. I don't work with
a real estate agent here in the Twin Cities.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
It doesn't look anything like you Just be honest, and
I feel like I kind of know a few of them,
and they look nothing like you.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I just do things a little differently. I guess
when I say.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, I guess, I guess you just look like a
Minnesota inmate.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, that's a good look. It's a good look.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I mean, I'd rather I'd rather you look like that

love it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So are you actually a realtor as well?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, No I'm not. No, I'm terrible with all that stuff. Yeah,
as far as like being a salesman, i'd be like,
do you want can you afford that? Do you want
it to sign? Here?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you're very straightforward. You can't lie
to people, is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, it's probably why you're the way you look like
you're in prison.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Right, you gotta you gotta sell that. You gotta sell that, judge. Right, Oh,
you know what it is?
Speaker 1 (02:30):

Modern you know what some people have been in some
of our in the comments sections, people put like the
gifts just whatever you call him, and it's and it's him.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh that makes sense, But it's Jim carry version all right,
what's that? It's the Jim Carrey version though, right not Yeah, yeah,
because you're you're a pretty strong looking dude.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You don't look like a like a tough cartoon. That's
an yeh.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm just I'm just like I feel like I feel
like this is not taken as a compliment. The compliment
is I want you on my side, like if I
were to end up in prison, I'm trying to say, yeah,
you're the guy that I want on my side, so
I feel like I at least get lunch the next day.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you're fine, Yeah, come with me all.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right like that.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
That's that's that's the compliment I'm trying to give to
you right now.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I love it. This is awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I love it it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, okay, war On Betty is awesome. Mason and I
are digging at big time all the way through, Like
like the music, the image, everything Lyrically, it's a lot
of fun. I feel like it harkens back to a
different kind of heavy music that I can't put my
finger on, almost like Andrew w k mm hmm. Interesting.
(04:03):
It's got like a little bit of like a like
a party vibe to an extent, or like it's not
that driving beat. Almost every song has got a driving
beat at some point that feels very danceable, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, I mean we don't uh, we
don't like focus too much on like I think we
just end up kind of kind of gets a little dance.
He Nate and I Nate Navarro. He and I run
the band war On Betty. He's the drummer from Cobra Starship,
(04:36):
and so we're like very influenced by you know, great rhythm.
It's not going to get your your toes tappen, but yeah,
I mean we're I mean, most of the guests you've
had on we've you know, been inspired by so much
like the Chariot. I don't know if you've had any
of that, any of it every time I die, folks,
(04:58):
but definitely would like to we'd like to, yeah about
any of them.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's just saying yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, I appreciate the compliment. It's it's it's a ton
of fun. We've yeah, yeah, we've We've got a lot
more coming that we're we're excited to show everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
To me, it's almost like you guys are having the
most amount of fun your music videos alone. If people
haven't heard, if our listeners haven't heard or seen the
music videos from War on Betty, do yourself a favor
right now, like literally, pause this. I don't care if
you come back to it or not. Pause this and
go because they're amazing that. I feel like they say
(05:43):
everything that they that you need to know about War
on Betty right now. They're just there's so much fun.
I've watched each one at least ten times.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh wow, wow, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, we're Yeah. That means that you're that you're putting
a lot into like not just the music, but the
image of this and a lot of it is like
selling you as an individual. So you might not be
a good salesman because you can't lie to people, but
you are a great salesman for this band because you
are an enigma of sorts.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Definitely not lying about this band.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, you're not lying.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm not lying about the band. No, yeah, no. Nate
and I love making music videos, that's the thing. Yeah,
we just want we want, we want the whole package
to come together. It's like, yeah, we we we love
all different kinds of heavy music and and you know,
it's we take it seriously, but it's like we want
(06:44):
to have fun with it, like you said, like we
want it to be it's not a joke. But you know,
the lighter side of things is just get crazy and yeah,
we want to always make our music videos interesting, you know,
not just put something out there that's visual because you
need to. It's like we want to create an experience,
(07:06):
you know. Same with live so mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But I would say, like, I've seen a lot of
great music videos in my life, but a lot of
times those music videos are paired with some pretty subpar music. Right,
this is not subpar music. This is this is music
I would listen to for enjoyment often and I do.
And I think the pairing of those two things is essential.
(07:32):
Like it's clear that you're not just trying to sell
one part of the band. You're like you are. You're like, hey,
we're the total package, and and that has to do
a lot with you as an individual.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I think, oh, thank you, thank you. Yeah, it is
it still echoy, No, you're good, You're okay? Cool yeah,
cool cool?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, I think what it reminds me of and yeah,
I I don't know if you're familiar with this band
a plea for purging, but a plea for purging was
it was like super like metalcore band from like the
twenty tens, one of clinized favorite bands of all time.
But all of their music videos were always really hilarious,
but not in a way that like demean the music.
(08:19):
Like the music in and of itself like stood on
its own, and it just the music videos just like
accompanied it in a way where it was like, Wow,
this is really fun and the music is incredible, and
I don't know what, Like as soon as I saw
your guys like music videos, that's the vibe I got
from Warren Betty was the music in and of itself
(08:41):
stands on its own, and the music videos just like
accentuate it in a way where it's like this is
so much fun, and I get so many fun vibes
from this, where I'm like, well, of course I want
to like stage dive to this, like I want to
like dance around and be silly when I like listen
to this, Like that's that's the vibe I get from this.
(09:03):
And so anyway, it just reminds me a lot of
like a plea for purging. Obviously, Colin will appreciate that.
A lot of our listeners will appreciate that. But it
just has like that kind of like similar vibe of
like the music in and of itself stands on its own,
and the music videos just make this like really fun vibe.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Oh that's that's a massive compliment. Thank you. I've I've
heard of them, but I don't don't. I don't think
i've listened.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Oh dude, you gotta you gotta listen their stuff, and
you gotta watch the music videos because there's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Absolutely, Oh right on.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah. I was actually gonna bring up the exact same
point that Mason just brought up. That was very reminiscent
of a plea for purging videos and stuff like that.
But the thing that I want to bring up is
you personally again. You have you have a quality about
you that is intangible. It is if a theoreal almost
(09:59):
to a like you. You have like this real tough guy
kind of kind of looked to you, but you also
have like this really sweet, almost effeminate nature as well,
at least in the music videos. I'm dying to see
you live because I'm sure you have a lot of
the same panache about you. Is that something that you
have decided to design intentionally or is that just you?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's just me. Yeah, I've always been Excuse me, my
allergies are awful. I've always I've always been like a
pretty extreme like on both ends. Like I grew up
like a choir nerd but I was also a wrestler
and rugby player. He played in the school band, played
the xylophone and percussion, took piano. So it's like, what
(10:51):
was the guy that you graduate with Colin?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That was that was the like violin player that was
also like an all state wrestler.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh yeah, Scott Stone.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, Scott Stone, Scott Stone.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's that's a freaking yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He was both a like all state like violin player
and also he was like an all state wrestler in Collins.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Wow, And he was totally jacked.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, so jacked. That's awesome. Yeah, but what's he doing now?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He's a teacher and a wrestling coach.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now I gotta get him to play in warre on Betty.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
At least I have like dude for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, that'd be awesome. No, But yeah, so, like like
when I was a kid, I listened to Sarah McLaughlin
and Michael Jackson and then like Nirvana and Corn in
the same day. Yeah, and so like live like with
war On Betty, It's like I'm going absolutely fucking nuts.
(11:49):
But then you know, my hips don't lie like Shakira,
and so I'm doing a whole lot of that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's a That's a perfect way to put it, perfect
way to put it. Yeah, I wish I could put
my finger on it more. I just I can't quite
figure out. I just want to watch you more, and
I want to hear you more, and I want to
you have a quality that makes people that I think
makes people want.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
To be in your presence. Oh well, thank you appreciate.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Do you get that as Walt Mason, I'm just saying,
like what you're saying is like this is like literally
like Colin's like karaoke playlist, like Shakira and like corn
all in the same playlist like that, That's exactly what
Colin would sing at karaoke.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Just saying that is true, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
In fact, I've done Whitney Houston and and yeah Lincoln
Park in the same night.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, that's right, legends. Yeah, see Houston, I want to
dance with somebody like yeah, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah yeah, and then in the end, yeah, yes, get
after you know.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know, so how did you how did you really
get into creating war On Betty. What's your musical career,
musical journey up to that point.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, I'm not a spring chicken. So I started I
started music, pursuing music later like as a career. I
was like twenty eight and started doing like acoustics singer
songwriter stuff. And then I was like, oh, I like
I always wanted to do heavy stuff. I just never
(13:35):
I just never did it, you know. I was, I
don't know, like lost in my ship. But I was like, hey,
I'm getting older, like I better start doing this. And
so I started a band at that time. It was
called Warren Betty. And that was because.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Like the director or like like the director actor.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, I misread his name. I was like, oh, who's
Who's more Embetti And they're like, you're an idiot, But
I was like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's exactly. That was the very first thing I brought
up to Mason for the first time.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, and I was told it kind of is but
not really but yeah, but so yeah, I started that
band and then we changed our name went on tour
with Armor for Sleep and and I was like, oh
my gosh, like you know what's happening. This is awesome.
And then we got off the road and and the
(14:35):
band broke up. And then so I met Nate Navarro.
He was filling in playing drums for Armor and on
that tour, and him and I just started chit chatting
about you know. I was like, dude, I don't know
what to do. I don't know how to revive this band.
I couldn't find members. And he was like, do you
just like do your own thing, Like just do your
(14:58):
own thing and like kind of like, you know, build
it and the rest will come. You know. Was that
Field of Dreams or something?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, And then he was I would send him some
stuff and he was like, oh, would you mind if
I like worked on it because he's a mixer and producer.
Oh nice. It was like sure, and then it was
like oh once he got his hands on it, then
it was like the World of War on Betty like
became it and I was like, holy shit. And then
(15:26):
he was like all right, man, let's fucking do something
with this. And he's like, we gotta do something with that.
Warren Betty thing. He's like, if we change it, He's like,
like war on Betty, And I was like, where do
I sign? And yeah, so we that's that. You know
that we started this about like three years ago, maybe
even a little longer, but we took about like a
(15:48):
year and a half almost two years to like really
work on all these songs and you know the image
and you know, really create music that we want to
hear that's not being really done by everybody else. It's like,
let's just smash all this stuff together that's heavy and
fun and yeah. So I mean we have like, what
(16:10):
three songs out right now, we have a bunch more
and they all sound different. They're all still really heavy,
but yeah, it's some wild ass shit.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I think. I think what I love the most is
that every tune has palate cleansing moments. Right. If you
listen to whole albums where it's all, you know, roughly
the same tempo, Sure, going one hundred miles a second,
it can be good, right, But a lot of times
(16:42):
there's just not enough palate cleansing in there to help
you feel those big moments and to help you feel
the chaos when you bring it on and you guys
do that so well. The dynamics are incredible. I love
how you'll go from like a jaunty little almost like
like a danceable groove, and then all of a sudden,
(17:05):
you're you're breaking out into something that sounds like the
Chariot where it's it's it's heavy and chaotic and it's
all over the place and and it shows a completely
different mastery of what you want to do, and it
keeps everyone on their toes and it cleanses the palette
and then allows for that next moment to hit so
much harder. So are you the one that kind of
(17:28):
comes up with, like you know, like the different movements
within each song, Like are you coming up with like
the vast majority of everything or is Nate helping out
with a lot of.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
That, or is yeah, yeah, It's it's usually built out
of like I'll come up with like like a big idea.
It's usually like my instincts like start it, and I
like a chorus or a verse or things that are repeating,
and then I'll just like I'll send it to Nate
and then I'll be like, let's add a part here,
(17:59):
Let's change that. It's he'll fix up the arrangement and
then he'll be like, hey, change the riff there, or
like vocally he's like, we need to do something with
the chorus here. That's you know, like but like the
song we have a song called black Sheep ironically, iron like,
I mostly do all the guitars and bass on like
(18:20):
most of our songs. That's all neat, Like we changed
it used to be a different song, and he came
up with like more of the lyrics and like the
vocal delivery and all that stuff. So that was it
was really cool, like to see him just be like
a drummer and like producer and mixer and then he's like, oh,
I gotta learn this guitar shit to like you know,
make songs. And then he like sent it to me
(18:42):
and I was like, fuck you dude, Like I've been
doing this since I was in fifth grade and now
you just show up and yeah, rips away. Yeah. It's
it's usually out of like my weird instincts. And then
Nate's like, cool, let's let's break this open. Yeah, yeah, dude,
that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
So it always ticks me off when you get those
people where it's like I've been working my ass off
for this one thing, and you just like come in
and you're so fucking good at this, and it just
it drives me nuts, Like what doesn't matter, Like what, yeah,
whether it's like music producing, doesn't matter, whatever it is.
And then you just get like that one person that's
just so good at the one thing, then they haven't
(19:25):
been even coming close to working for it the way
you have just drives me nuts. But you know what,
some people are just naturally talented in that way.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, I've noticed it's like a thing earlier before we started,
like I'm always like working on my scream and sustainability
and different techniques and stuff for live and you know
all that stuff. And I've noticed for some reason with
drummers they can just a lot of them they just
like can sing really easily, or like if people don't
(19:56):
want to scream, like girls can metals amazingly, like they'll
I'll be like, they'll just like mimic like, oh you
listen to that stuff where it's like ah and they
like spit out the craziest scream and I'm like, perfectly,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's a real estate agent in Orange County and I'm
like you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I think that's because they've been mimicking the vocal fry
from Dude for Britney Spears all those years. Right, yes, yeah,
you know what I'm talking about, like, because that's like scre.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
What you're talking about. So many of the women here
talk like that. They're like a metal band. Wow, or
just watch you get a little sample screaming metal band.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So I gotta put a little bit of behind it.
And they've got it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They've got it all.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You're telling me.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The only the only exercise I need to become a
great metale is I just watch enough keeping up with
the Kardashians and they'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, we're desperate Housewives of Orange County talk like a
valley girl and you're and you're there. That's it.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That's that's that's the that's the secret. What that's it.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That is the metal industry secret for unlocking your harsh vocals.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sorry, Chris Lee Beg.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I do like that guy he's going on yeah, yeah, yeah.
I learned how to safely scream like Chris Cornell from him.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So oh right on.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah, okay, I I gotta ask though.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Okay, so you're like you're a formal a former wrestler guy, Yeah,
what what is it like for you to.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Get on stage? You're screaming?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Do you wish you could take out, like take out
some of those guys like like what what is it?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
What is it for you? Like? What what unlocks for you?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Is it like things where it's like.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I got a question that goes with that. I've noticed.
I've noticed that a lot of times you're wearing a
fur jacket. Oh yeah, do you wear that on stage?
Is it? Is it like bringing back like having to
like run in the hot wrestling room with the sweat sign?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Man? You know? Dan first response, I have not worn
that on stage yet.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh you gotta, you gotta, but.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, I lost a lot of water weight shooting that
Bump music video. My god, dude. Yeah yeah yeah, but
you know, so your question is you know we people
on stage?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Because yeah, do you do you get do you get
feelings of of wanting to cause violence a little bit?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh? No, no, no, no not at all?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No. The thing that I love about performing live is
that there's this like certain surrender that happens to me
where I'm like and this could all just completely can
go wrong, like technical difficulties like whatever, right, Yeah, And
(23:26):
for some reason, it's like I have no choice but
to submit to that whole reality. Like I don't have
time to like get in my head and be like,
well maybe I could blah blah blah like where I
do in regular life all the time. I'll steal. There's
something about it, and it's like I am so free.
(23:46):
That's what I love about performing live and with warre
On Betty because of the kind of music that we make,
it's like it's so fun. So to add to that
feeling to play this music live, it is like, yeah, man,
that's that's what I want.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Is there is there ever, like a like contradiction or
like dichotomy that exists between how you want to perform
live versus what the audience is experiencing. Partly because the
audience might be experiencing a potential cop just singing songs,
(24:25):
specifically a seventies cop singing songs, do they ever just
like assume, like, wow, the seventies on the seventies cop
show just shows up, and now we don't know whether
or not we can actually mosh or are we gonna
get arrested?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, well it's happened a few times.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
See, I feel like it was a fair question.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, it's no. When people come to the show, they
know for the most part, they know what they're getting into.
I definitely have surprise people though, you know, like loading
into venues and stuff like getting there early. Like you
get out of the vehicle and I'm like walking across
the parking lot and people are like, what's that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What is that they know you're in a band at
least right? I mean, like, you can't be mistaken. You're
You're not the kind of individual that he mistake. You
could be undercover. But if this is nineteen seventy three,
it might be different. But yeah, yeah, I think there's
(25:39):
there is something to be said.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, there's a lot of bands that Mason and
I will go see, and you know, you might be
hanging out at a restaurant near the venue beforehand and
you'd be like, oh, that guy looks like he could
be in a band, but I don't know, maybe maybe
not right, maybe he's just a fan whatever. So you
don't necessarily talk to him because you're not entially sure
if they're in a band or not, right, But you
(26:05):
I don't think there's any mistaking it, right. I mean
everyone's gonna be like that guy's in a band, for sure,
if you're anywhere, if you're both like a hundred yards
of a venue, it could be any venue, and they're
gonna say that guy is in a band.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Usually usually I like that non conspicuousness about you. I'm sorry,
the non conspicuousness about you. It's everything's just like laid
on the table obvious. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I will say one thing I love about Warren Betty
from some of the You know, obviously you guys haven't
released like a ton of music yet, but you know
you're doing this like hardcore heavy music, and there are
these moments of very very too like early two thousands
(27:02):
alternative rock music riffs. Yes that you know that is
so it's so good, like it literally it like brings
me back to like audio slave or something, and it's
so good, and yet you're able to write them in
a way that like actually feels supernatural to like hardcore
(27:23):
music or heavy music, where obviously, like you know, you
guys aren't you're clearly not doing just like alternative rock.
And there's something about that that I find super creative
and very unique, and I don't I don't know if
you have like anything to say about that, but like
that that's like a first impression that I got from
the little music that you guys have out at this point.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Wow, thank you. Yeah, you know, I don't think we've
really spent a lot of time on like let's make
this riff. I think we just like you might be
referring more so to like the song Chicken Bones, Yes,
(28:06):
where it was like I just remember like Rage against
Machine the Born of a Broken Man, that song. I mean,
they do it in so many other songs, but it's
like it's like clean guitar and then it's like here's
(28:29):
the fucking chorus. You step on the distortion pedal and
it's go time. Like that's something that I feel like
got lost a bit over the past, like really, like
I don't know, twelve fifteen years. I mean, I love
like a lot of the music that's been happening, you know, since,
(28:50):
but I was like, oh, just that feel that payoff
of like an explosion and don't do anything crazy, like
let's let that beat drive and like send it home
with like an in your face vocal that's not too
like matthy or you know, like just like yeah, So
I think naturally that those kind of riffs like come about,
(29:14):
and like where I play like these riffs on the guitar,
it's like I'm not doing anything complicated, like really, I'm not.
It just feels like very comfortable. I'm like, oh, could
I play this on acoustic guitar and would it like
ring out? And like would it feel heavy on an
acoustic guitar like that? I don't know. That's that's kind
(29:35):
of how that sense that stuff comes about. I think, Yeah, yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
What should listeners expect for the upcoming war on Betty Songs?
This back catalog that you have ready to go?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
You said, well, man, I don't want to give too
much away, but nothing repeats itself, Like each song is different.
I know a lot of artists say this, but no, like,
for real, each song is totally different. There's always like
(30:12):
a theme to a song. Nate and I we try
to focus on, like what's the identifiable thing about this
song that makes it stand out, you know from any
other like metalcore heavy song. Yeah, Like we have a
song it sounds like if justin Timberlake wrote like a
(30:35):
metal song like nine Inch Nails, Like do we have
a song it's like that, like, but there's also like
some some break there's a breakdown in it that's like
I don't know, very bluesy, heavy, loose like but like
a big open halftime and some screaming, you know, like
(30:56):
oh yeah, yeah, I mean, we have some stuff that's
like a little industrial. We have things where there's like
acoustic guitars in it, but it's still like, you know,
a big loud band. Yeah that's all I'm gonna say
for now on.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
It all right, sweet? Are you doing music videos for
all of them?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
We're trying to do as many as we can, like
that's that's our goal. Our our goal is to have
like a fucking rad music video with with each with
each song. So it's like we're you know, we're taking
our time, you know, we're not just you know, like
my favorite bands are my favorite bands because they wrote
(31:35):
good music, yeah you know, not because they posted so frequently,
you know. So it's like we're like, yeah, let's let's
give them something to be excited about for sure that
they can listen to it or watch because we have
like there's people that are like I remember this woman
was like, yo, I don't normally like this music, but
(31:56):
I saw you and I want you to play at
my wedding. It was like the most like normy person
you get, amattin.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Imagine.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I was like, yeah, so yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Have you.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't know, I don't know if you're aware of
this or not. Mason and I we talked to bands
all the time. We you know, we kind of see
numbers and all that stuff, but we don't we don't
care about numbers per se when it comes to views
on YouTube or on spot.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I hope not because we don't have that many, but like.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's not something that like we focus on. I don't
think we've ever really had a conversation where we've talked
about that. But for a band with only three songs out,
the amount of popularity that you have on the youtubes
at the very least is basically what I would correlate
(33:01):
to a band that's been around for six years, seven years,
eight years and have been, you know, a pretty high
quality band. The fact you only have three songs out
and you're already kind of hitting those numbers tells me
that this is gonna be a lot bigger than I
think maybe you're expecting it to.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
M Well, thank you, Yeah, it's you know, I have it.
I have all the confidence in it, you know, And
and so is Neat. And we just focus on what
we can control, and so we can control taking our
time and making the songs as exciting to listen to
(33:44):
as we would want from another band, you know, and
taking the time to make sure that these music videos
look look really cool and fine and like as cheesy
as it sounds, like, it's got to be honest, like
your instincts and like your personality, like it all has
to come through, you know. And you know, yeah, seeing
(34:08):
the the it's easy to get lost in numbers right
right exactly, but like a big thing, you know, social
media is a knife, you know, it's it can be
a great tool and it can also be awful, right
but you know, I am great social media as a
(34:28):
tool in a healthy way. And what I've noticed is
I was like, I don't I don't care about like
the boosts you know for advertising, They've been super beneficial
for a ton of people, but for us, we're like,
let's not do that, like like we really want to
know what's real, so we know like who our people are. Like,
(34:50):
I'd much rather have like thirty people really really like
us than like three hundred thousand people that hate heavy
music and they just sawid ad and skipped because they're
trying to look at something for Sephora, and then we
just wasted all that money, you know. So I seeing
(35:11):
the engagement, like the shares and the comments and the
private messages we've been getting, it's, man, we're nothing but
grateful for it. It's it's pretty cool. And uh yeah, yeah,
Like when you guys reached out, I was like, no shit,
I found out about you guys. It was like twenty
(35:34):
it was the beginning of it was the pandemic. Oh
and yeah, and I've been listening to you guys for
you know, that whole time, and I was like, they
have like all the bands on there that I love.
So I listened to you guys all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Thanks, you only listen for the bands, not for Colin, right.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yes, the band's in Bason, that's all.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah. So no, it's it's it's been a really exciting
and I would see other word I'm looking for. Yeah,
we're just super grateful and we're having a blast. I
love it.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah, do you you have a tour coming up in November?
I believe with under Undertaking.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Uh, we're we're not going on tour with them, We're just.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Just playing a show. Okay, sounds good. Yeah, those guys
are super excited to meet you. I was talking to
Austin he's a good friend of the show.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And oh, right on, and he's.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I said, hey, war on, Betty, he listened yet He's like,
he's like, I've listened. I don't know about him yet, though.
I was like, what does that mean? He says, I
don't know. Hopefully they're cool hangs, And I said, well,
with a mustache like that, how can they not be.
So they're excited to meet you.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I know that's gonna flash that badge and make sure
that's cool Hangs.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
That's right. So make sure you make sure you tell
them a big high from Colin and Mason once you
once you see them in November.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh definitely will definitely. Well, yeah, they're they are rad
as hell. Yeah yeah, I really I really really enjoy
his vocals, Like he gets he gets some really good
distortion and he gets his like real true voice, like
his high pitched voice through and it's like, hm, I love.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
That incredibly unique.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah yeah, and their riffs are disgusting, so so amazing,
and they just they just seem seem like a good
time they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, they bring it live too, which which certainly adds
to the total package that is the undertaking.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah. Yeah, they're they're good people.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And you know, there's a reason why they got voted
into Furnace Fest for one year, Like I mean, people
like love them enough where they literally got voted into play.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Like yeah, just because people love that so much.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Andfully so, they're just they're a fun band.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
They're fun to they're obviously they're good guys.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And they just play an incredible set. Yeah yeah on
YouTube some of their their live sets, and I was
like all right now, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
It's perfect pairing to have to have War on Betty
with them.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I think so. I think so. I hopefully I think
it's going to be a wild as time for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Hopefully you guys can actually you know, like make a
tour or.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Something like that out of it. That'll be great.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be a it'd be a blast. I
would I would travel pretty long distances to go see that.
So all right, I think it's time for your top
five most influential albums. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Dang?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
You can start?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
All right, Well, let's go with Okay, Chevelle. Hell, oh
my gosh, what is it called? It's the one with
the red was the break out of it?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Why is it not?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well? Wow?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I don't think we've ever gotten a Chevelle calling. I'll
be honest, we have not.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Damn what happens next or something?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Wonder what's next? That's it?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Wonder what's next? Wow? Chevell record? Yeah, the the heavy,
low tuning guitars. I mean I had heard of like
corn before them. Yeah, and uh but just like his
his scream, Like the way the mix of that album
and the melodies and the dynamics, I was just like,
(39:36):
holy shit, that changed some stuff in me for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I think that's easily got one of the Chevelle themselves
have one of my all time favorite guitar tones. I
don't know what it is that they're doing, but that
tone is instantly recognizable. Oh yeah, so crunchy and delicious.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah. I think it's the way it holds the pick too.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't doubt.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Like, Yeah, shit. I mean, I'm so bad with album names.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
That's okay, Mason. Mason and I honestly are pretty bad
at it as well.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So okay, okay, I guess The Fiance the Chariot that.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
That's an album name that we're not bad at.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I'll just be on.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We are pretty good at that one.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
We nailed that one.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
We got that one.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
We're huge fans.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Oh yeah, they're They're They're Them and Norma Jean are
my favorite heavy bands.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
So that being said, I did just listen to The
Fiance in its entirety last week. I feel, you know,
it's one of those albums where literally, what's funny is
I think, what is it? Is it your third favorite
Chariot album Coulen or fourth?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Fourth?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Actually yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
And I remember, like Colin and I have this debate
all the time.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I I think it might be my third at least
probably my second maybe, and and I remember thinking to
myself like, yeah, it's still probably my second or.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Third, knowing that for Colin for sure it's his fourth.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
And I remember thinking to myself as I'm listening to it, damn,
Colin is wrong.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
And I felt so vindicated by it. I loved it.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
I was just like, I think Colin's wrong here.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I just think it's so good. It's so good, So why.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Why why the Fiance for You? Why is that one
of those super influential records.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Okay, So I was like a weird kid. I mean
I'm a weird adult now, but I never went to
shows growing up. I did like local, I'd go to
like see like local shows like friends, bands and stuff,
but like in my mind, it just like wasn't an
It was such a luxury or like go to a concert.
So weird. So that my friends listen to the Chariot
(42:02):
and they were like, Yo, we're gonna go see this band.
You should come with, And I was like all right,
So I listened to it and I was like instantly
like it grabbed me. And then I saw them live
it was them Norma jean A Life Once Lost, and
then Handshake for Murder Holy was my first like real
(42:22):
heavy show I.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Went to, Yeah you were Baptized right away.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
It's like like it literally changed, it literally changed me.
And Yeah, when I saw the Chariot, I was like, okay,
like this is music that I like, Like I wanted
to be in the Chariot, so bad, so bad.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, judging by our conversations with members of the Chariot,
it sounds like it actually probably could have been a possibility.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, dude, the story with like Casey Woolf. Yeah, they
just like showed up on a college campus or something.
Josh was like ul a base or something or like
pretty much that.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
He was psychotic. Psychotic. Yeah, I love that though. That's
that's like the definition of like d I y oh yeah,
and just like trusting other people's instincts, you know, totally.
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
So number three influence album.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I believe the name of the album was Middle of
Nowhere and it's Hanson.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Oh yeah, like like the boy pop band.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yes, yeah, I remember I was on a I was
on a road trip with my family and that was
like one of my first albums I bought. It was
like Hanson and then uh Tragic Kingdom No Doubt.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Oh hell yeah it's a killer record too.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
I'm glad that you said Hanson because everyone on here
wants to be cool and.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
They wanna they want to say some heavy.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, they want to say some heavy or something like
super artsy fartsy and stuff like that. But like if
I'm being truly honest. My most influential album because it
was the first album I ever got was Aaron's Party,
Come Get It by Aaron Carter.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah. Sure, like.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
That was my intro to music. So like, people should
be more honest on here.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I think we should.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
We should we should force that, we should force our
guests from now on, Mason to say what their first
album they ever got was.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
I mean, no one, no one's No one's gonna look
as cool if if they have to say Aaron's Party,
Come Get It by Aaron Carter.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
You know, Millennium by Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Hell, yeah, that's a bit, that's a lot. Great.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Hell Okay, here's the thing. All right, you know, all
growing up, everyone was like you look at the Backstreet.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Boys, like, yeah, they're fucking amazing.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Listen, I've been working in bars my whole adult life, Dude,
you've been bouncing. Come on, like like cover bands will
play the Backstreet Boys. All that are in that are
millennials and x'es are like you all I ever wanted,
Like they're in, but they're all in. They're all in.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
I'm like, yeah, they're they're over they're overpowering all the girls.
Speaker 2 (45:26):
Yes, yeah, yeah, so that's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3 (45:30):
Yeah, that never makes nothing makes you drop your badge
more than Backstreet Boys, right oh?
Speaker 2 (45:37):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (45:39):
And his bands.
Speaker 2 (45:40):
Hey, let's see, what's another one? Michael Jackson?
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Oh yeah, which which Michael Jackson record? I'm guessing bad?
Speaker 2 (45:52):
Yeah, I mean I love yeah bad? Which one was
thriller on?

I was a little kid, I would dress up as
him and I stand on my chair place.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Man, did you have the glove?
Speaker 2 (46:16):
Oh? Yeah, I had a glove I had. I had
like a glittery glove too. My friend's mom knew that
I liked Michael Jackson, and so she gave it to
me for a birthday present. But I would set the
like a fan on and be playing his music, and
I'd have a shirt it was open so would blow
like the music videos.
Speaker 4 (46:38):
Was your friend's mom Stacy's mom?
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh why does she know this about you?
Speaker 1 (46:46):
She does sound pretty hot. I'm not gonna lie.

One more?
Speaker 2 (47:50):
What a moss shocks, dude?
Speaker 3 (48:06):
And the way that you look when you put your
like hand on your chin, you look like you have
already earned a pH.
Speaker 2 (48:14):
This is so tough. Like as far as influence, it's good,
Norma Jean, Yeah, which one? Which one? Redeemer? Oh really
gott yeah call good call. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
I would have been right about the same time that
Fiance came.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Out, right year before Redeemer came out year before, yeah,
probably the same year.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
Six, and then Fiance came out two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah, ship, okay, So they would have been that that
that first show that you were.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Talking about that's it exactly?
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Yeah, yeah, yep, jeez, what a what a formative?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
What a formativeness?
Speaker 1 (48:59):
Just imagine you never went to that show?
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Assure you that?
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Yeah, who are you without that show?
Speaker 2 (49:09):
That is so insane to think about. Yeah, even if
A continues on with Warren Bettys, just like what that
music did for me and provided for me on so
many levels. Holy ship, Yeah, yeah, the Chariot and Norman
(49:29):
Jean got you know you hear this all the time.
Man it it fucking it got me through some some
ship and on a deep level, and it also brought
me incredible joy. Still it still does, still.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
Does without those albums, I probably hate culin yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, yeah, and vice versa.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
I'm glad you guys had that music then.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Yeah, for real, that's what brought us again.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I thank god, or we would have each other. So yeah,
that's right. I mean I kind of still do, but
I do too.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
If I could jump on the screen right now and
slit your throat, I might next time, next time, next
time we sleep together? All right? All right? What would
you like to plug? Do you have? Do you have
an album coming out? An EP? Are you looking at
that down the road?

November twenty first at the Bar Sinister And yeah, those
are the immediate things, but there's definitely a lot more
to come.
Speaker 3 (51:20):
I love the fact that their show is still happening
at skate skate places, like that's cool.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
That's pretty cool. It's so rad, it's so rad.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Yeah, those are two two worlds that have always existed
together and they should always continue to do.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
We can't let we can't like the we can't let
those exist as like museums like those have to like
keep existing as like a real.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
Thing that's happening in real time.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
That can't be a thing that we talk about just
like simply a new museum.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
That's right, I agree, I agreed.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
No bygone eras here? All right, awesome? Anything else you'd
like to play?
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Oh yeah, I mean this isn't probably gonna happen until
like January. But we're gonna do the lobster batch. What's
that here in Orange County? Yeah, Well it's like we
they release like, hey, the city the City of Coasta,
Mesa will release like a bunch of lobsters and like
home depots and drug stores and yeah, and so you
(52:26):
gotta go, you gotta go catch them, and you have
to like dress them up, you know, as Disney characters
and then set them back into the ocean and call
and then you call a relative you haven't seen in
a while, and and that's the whole point of it.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
I love it. Okay.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
So there there's two.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
It feels like it's like hinged on two things. So
Disney character and relative. So for you, like, what what's
your preferred Disney.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
Character that you're gonna dress up this lobster as?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
And what's who's the long last relative you're gonna call
for the first time in a while.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
I'll probably a dress up this this lot. You know, lobster.
Speaker 4 (53:10):
I find is you can't do Sebastian from uh.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Because he's a crab.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
Yeah he's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
It feels it feels a little too on the nose
for that guy.
Speaker 1 (53:22):
Yeah, even though it's a complete different species, no big deal.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
Yeah, kind of close though too close. It's a crustacean. Yeah,
I can't do one of those.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
So what So what's the episode? I love this Simba, Like,
are you gonna dressed up as Simba?
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Like I was just gonna do it as Ursula? But
I mean, I know I could, I could, I could
change it to Simba. La is fantastic. I don't know.
I like to do things on the spot.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
She's a queen. I like. I like Ursula, you know,
she's a dog. I love like the community orientedness of this.
You know, it feels very feels very unique. Every every
town has like what feels like the exact same thing
going on. They're like, oh, for Turkey Day, five K
and let's let's have a I don't know, a dance
(54:18):
down on the main street. But like this is like
this is actually happening.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, this really gets everyone out of their houses. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:27):
Well, and also contacting a relative that you haven't maybe
spoken to in a while that.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
You probably should right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3 (54:36):
So who is that for you? I mean, it looks
like you just got out of prison. So who's the
person that you need to talk to? Probably Gus Gus
from from Breaking Bad.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
No, No, Gus is a he's an uncle of mine.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Oh oh wait, we probably shouldn't talk much more about
Gus if he's an uncle.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
People like that, all right.
Speaker 4 (55:02):
Well, yeah, you know, we'll just keep it at that.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Gus. You just need to talk to Gus. We got it.
Speaker 3 (55:08):
I'm not saying much more because i'd like to I
value my life enough to not talk more about Gus.
Speaker 1 (55:15):
I think you should instead maybe reach out to Missus Purcell.
Speaker 2 (55:24):
Yeah yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
She's got a number. By the way, I'm just saying,
like I can give you the number.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
You should be like I have. I have a diamond
and crusted glove that I would like for you to
be read.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
I mean, I'm just saying, we're just saying, like, you know,
she's you know, into you know, into that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
You know. I don't know, like I don't know where
she's at right now, you know.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Healthy. Yeah, but she you could make her a family member,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
You know, I thought she's I thought she saw that
she liked the way I'm out her lawn, But I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (56:06):
Yeah, just god, I cannot wait to see your pictures
of Lobster Bash. It's it sounds like a fun time.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Yeah, have you done it before?
Speaker 2 (56:19):
No? No, but this is the year I'm going to nice.
Speaker 4 (56:25):
I mean, you gotta start somewhere, right.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
Maybe this is one of the like maybe this is
like one of those like catalyst moments in your life,
kind of like the Chariot Norman Jean Show, and like
your life is going to completely change because you participated
in the lobsters Bash this year.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Man, I mean that would that would be I don't
know if if it'll be at that that scale, but hopefully, yeah, yeah, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
The beautiful thing about life is we never know what
next moment that's going to be, So it could be
it could be the Lobster Bash.
Speaker 4 (56:57):
And the thing the beautiful thing about Lobster Bash is
could very turn into a very easily could turn into
lopster bisk.
Speaker 1 (57:05):
That's right, and that is the ideal soup.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
If you ask me. Yeah, I mean we we shouldn't
because we're setting these these lopsters free.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
But but then you get there, they're easy. Then you
just go get one of their captive friends down at
the costco and now you're now it's full circle.
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Yeah, it's the circle of life, the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (57:33):
It's way more human through their head rather than boil them.
Speaker 2 (57:37):
But just by the way, just so you.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
Know, that's also a Disney reference. So I mean you
could really make that work.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Circle of that.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, it could work, It could work. Maybe maybe it
does need to be Simba.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
By the way, if he ever needs a fetto, we've
got a guy for you, just saying, really, really, we're
really trying to make it happen, just trying.
Speaker 1 (58:08):
Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to get on somebody's record
at some point.
Speaker 2 (58:11):
So so if you're in.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
You ever see a falsetto, you know who you talked.
Speaker 1 (58:17):
To, that's not a falsetto, it's it's it's my real voice.
Speaker 2 (58:21):
So dude, let's get you on the track.
Speaker 4 (58:24):

I'll be honest, I've never interviewed somebody that looks like
they just escaped from prison.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
But here we are. You know, like, you did the thing.
I don't know if it was Alcatraz or wherever it was,
but you did it.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
And Charles Bronson or not Charles Bronson? Who's the Who's
who's the guy that Tom Hardy played in that one
movie where he's like fighting people in prison? That it
was Bronson?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Okay, yeah, yeah, it's.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Not Charles Bronson though, what's his first name? Charles Bronson's
an actor?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Yeah it is, yeah, Charles or Charlie, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Something like that. Look at that, Yeah, you kind of
have that look going. I just realized that.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
I usually get like Orange County real estate agent, but
I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Is that what they look like. I don't work with
a real estate agent here in the Twin Cities.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
It doesn't look anything like you Just be honest, and
I feel like I kind of know a few of them,
and they look nothing like you.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Yeah, I just do things a little differently. I guess
when I say.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Yeah, I guess, I guess you just look like a
Minnesota inmate.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Yeah, that's a good look. It's a good look.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
I mean, I'd rather I'd rather you look like that
than than a Minnesota real estate agent, to be honest,
love it.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So are you actually a realtor as well?
Speaker 2 (01:56):
No, No I'm not. No, I'm terrible with all that stuff. Yeah,
as far as like being a salesman, i'd be like,
do you want can you afford that? Do you want
it to sign? Here?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Like yeah, yeah, yeah, you're very straightforward. You can't lie
to people, is what you're saying.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Yes, it's probably why you're the way you look like
you're in prison.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Right, you gotta you gotta sell that. You gotta sell that, judge. Right, Oh,
you know what it is?
Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's it's it's it's like doctor Robotnik from the.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Modern you know what some people have been in some
of our in the comments sections, people put like the
gifts just whatever you call him, and it's and it's him.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Oh that makes sense, But it's Jim carry version all right,
what's that? It's the Jim Carrey version though, right not Yeah, yeah,
because you're you're a pretty strong looking dude.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You don't.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You don't look like a like a tough cartoon. That's
an yeh.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I'm just I'm just like I feel like I feel
like this is not taken as a compliment. The compliment
is I want you on my side, like if I
were to end up in prison, I'm trying to say, yeah,
you're the guy that I want on my side, so
I feel like I at least get lunch the next day.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you're fine, Yeah, come with me all.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Right like that.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
That's that's that's the compliment I'm trying to give to
you right now.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
I love it. This is awesome.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
I love it it.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, okay, war On Betty is awesome. Mason and I
are digging at big time all the way through, Like
like the music, the image, everything Lyrically, it's a lot
of fun. I feel like it harkens back to a
different kind of heavy music that I can't put my
finger on, almost like Andrew w k mm hmm. Interesting.
(04:03):
It's got like a little bit of like a like
a party vibe to an extent, or like it's not
that driving beat. Almost every song has got a driving
beat at some point that feels very danceable, you know
what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Oh yeah, yeah, Yeah, I mean we don't uh, we
don't like focus too much on like I think we
just end up kind of kind of gets a little dance.
He Nate and I Nate Navarro. He and I run
the band war On Betty. He's the drummer from Cobra Starship,
(04:36):
and so we're like very influenced by you know, great rhythm.
It's not going to get your your toes tappen, but yeah,
I mean we're I mean, most of the guests you've
had on we've you know, been inspired by so much
like the Chariot. I don't know if you've had any
of that, any of it every time I die, folks,
(04:58):
but definitely would like to we'd like to, yeah about
any of them.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's just saying yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, I appreciate the compliment. It's it's it's a ton
of fun. We've yeah, yeah, we've We've got a lot
more coming that we're we're excited to show everybody.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
To me, it's almost like you guys are having the
most amount of fun your music videos alone. If people
haven't heard, if our listeners haven't heard or seen the
music videos from War on Betty, do yourself a favor
right now, like literally, pause this. I don't care if
you come back to it or not. Pause this and
go because they're amazing that. I feel like they say
(05:43):
everything that they that you need to know about War
on Betty right now. They're just there's so much fun.
I've watched each one at least ten times.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Oh wow, wow, appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Yeah, we're Yeah. That means that you're that you're putting
a lot into like not just the music, but the
image of this and a lot of it is like
selling you as an individual. So you might not be
a good salesman because you can't lie to people, but
you are a great salesman for this band because you
are an enigma of sorts.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
Definitely not lying about this band.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, you're not lying.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I'm not lying about the band. No, yeah, no. Nate
and I love making music videos, that's the thing. Yeah,
we just want we want, we want the whole package
to come together. It's like, yeah, we we we love
all different kinds of heavy music and and you know,
it's we take it seriously, but it's like we want
(06:44):
to have fun with it, like you said, like we
want it to be it's not a joke. But you know,
the lighter side of things is just get crazy and yeah,
we want to always make our music videos interesting, you know,
not just put something out there that's visual because you
need to. It's like we want to create an experience,
(07:06):
you know. Same with live so mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
But I would say, like, I've seen a lot of
great music videos in my life, but a lot of
times those music videos are paired with some pretty subpar music. Right,
this is not subpar music. This is this is music
I would listen to for enjoyment often and I do.
And I think the pairing of those two things is essential.
(07:32):
Like it's clear that you're not just trying to sell
one part of the band. You're like you are. You're like, hey,
we're the total package, and and that has to do
a lot with you as an individual.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
I think, oh, thank you, thank you. Yeah, it is
it still echoy, No, you're good, You're okay? Cool yeah,
cool cool?
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Yeah, I think what it reminds me of and yeah,
I I don't know if you're familiar with this band
a plea for purging, but a plea for purging was
it was like super like metalcore band from like the
twenty tens, one of clinized favorite bands of all time.
But all of their music videos were always really hilarious,
but not in a way that like demean the music.
(08:19):
Like the music in and of itself like stood on
its own, and it just the music videos just like
accompanied it in a way where it was like, Wow,
this is really fun and the music is incredible, and
I don't know what, Like as soon as I saw
your guys like music videos, that's the vibe I got
from Warren Betty was the music in and of itself
(08:41):
stands on its own, and the music videos just like
accentuate it in a way where it's like this is
so much fun, and I get so many fun vibes
from this, where I'm like, well, of course I want
to like stage dive to this, like I want to
like dance around and be silly when I like listen
to this, Like that's that's the vibe I get from this.
(09:03):
And so anyway, it just reminds me a lot of
like a plea for purging. Obviously, Colin will appreciate that.
A lot of our listeners will appreciate that. But it
just has like that kind of like similar vibe of
like the music in and of itself stands on its own,
and the music videos just make this like really fun vibe.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Oh that's that's a massive compliment. Thank you. I've I've
heard of them, but I don't don't. I don't think
i've listened.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Oh dude, you gotta you gotta listen their stuff, and
you gotta watch the music videos because there's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Absolutely, Oh right on.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Yeah. I was actually gonna bring up the exact same
point that Mason just brought up. That was very reminiscent
of a plea for purging videos and stuff like that.
But the thing that I want to bring up is
you personally again. You have you have a quality about
you that is intangible. It is if a theoreal almost
(09:59):
to a like you. You have like this real tough guy
kind of kind of looked to you, but you also
have like this really sweet, almost effeminate nature as well,
at least in the music videos. I'm dying to see
you live because I'm sure you have a lot of
the same panache about you. Is that something that you
have decided to design intentionally or is that just you?
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That's just me. Yeah, I've always been Excuse me, my
allergies are awful. I've always I've always been like a
pretty extreme like on both ends. Like I grew up
like a choir nerd but I was also a wrestler
and rugby player. He played in the school band, played
the xylophone and percussion, took piano. So it's like, what
(10:51):
was the guy that you graduate with Colin?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
That was that was the like violin player that was
also like an all state wrestler.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh yeah, Scott Stone.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Yeah, Scott Stone, Scott Stone.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
That's that's a freaking yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He was both a like all state like violin player
and also he was like an all state wrestler in Collins.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Great.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Wow, And he was totally jacked.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, so jacked. That's awesome. Yeah, but what's he doing now?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
He's a teacher and a wrestling coach.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Now I gotta get him to play in warre on Betty.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
At least I have like dude for sure.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, that'd be awesome. No, But yeah, so, like like
when I was a kid, I listened to Sarah McLaughlin
and Michael Jackson and then like Nirvana and Corn in
the same day. Yeah, and so like live like with
war On Betty, It's like I'm going absolutely fucking nuts.
(11:49):
But then you know, my hips don't lie like Shakira,
and so I'm doing a whole lot of that.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's a That's a perfect way to put it, perfect
way to put it. Yeah, I wish I could put
my finger on it more. I just I can't quite
figure out. I just want to watch you more, and
I want to hear you more, and I want to
you have a quality that makes people that I think
makes people want.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
To be in your presence. Oh well, thank you appreciate.
Speaker 5 (12:21):
Do you get that as Walt Mason, I'm just saying,
like what you're saying is like this is like literally
like Colin's like karaoke playlist, like Shakira and like corn
all in the same playlist like that, That's exactly what
Colin would sing at karaoke.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
Just saying that is true, that is true.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
In fact, I've done Whitney Houston and and yeah Lincoln
Park in the same night.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Yeah, that's right, legends. Yeah, see Houston, I want to
dance with somebody like yeah, get out of here.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Yeah yeah, and then in the end, yeah, yes, get
after you know.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
You know, so how did you how did you really
get into creating war On Betty. What's your musical career,
musical journey up to that point.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Well, I'm not a spring chicken. So I started I
started music, pursuing music later like as a career. I
was like twenty eight and started doing like acoustics singer
songwriter stuff. And then I was like, oh, I like
I always wanted to do heavy stuff. I just never
(13:35):
I just never did it, you know. I was, I
don't know, like lost in my ship. But I was like, hey,
I'm getting older, like I better start doing this. And
so I started a band at that time. It was
called Warren Betty. And that was because.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Like the director or like like the director actor.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Yeah, I misread his name. I was like, oh, who's
Who's more Embetti And they're like, you're an idiot, But
I was like.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
That's exactly. That was the very first thing I brought
up to Mason for the first time.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Yeah, and I was told it kind of is but
not really but yeah, but so yeah, I started that
band and then we changed our name went on tour
with Armor for Sleep and and I was like, oh
my gosh, like you know what's happening. This is awesome.
And then we got off the road and and the
(14:35):
band broke up. And then so I met Nate Navarro.
He was filling in playing drums for Armor and on
that tour, and him and I just started chit chatting
about you know. I was like, dude, I don't know
what to do. I don't know how to revive this band.
I couldn't find members. And he was like, do you
just like do your own thing, Like just do your
(14:58):
own thing and like kind of like, you know, build
it and the rest will come. You know. Was that
Field of Dreams or something?
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Yeah, And then he was I would send him some
stuff and he was like, oh, would you mind if
I like worked on it because he's a mixer and producer.
Oh nice. It was like sure, and then it was
like oh once he got his hands on it, then
it was like the World of War on Betty like
became it and I was like, holy shit. And then
(15:26):
he was like all right, man, let's fucking do something
with this. And he's like, we gotta do something with that.
Warren Betty thing. He's like, if we change it, He's like,
like war on Betty, And I was like, where do
I sign? And yeah, so we that's that. You know
that we started this about like three years ago, maybe
even a little longer, but we took about like a
(15:48):
year and a half almost two years to like really
work on all these songs and you know the image
and you know, really create music that we want to
hear that's not being really done by everybody else. It's like,
let's just smash all this stuff together that's heavy and
fun and yeah. So I mean we have like, what
(16:10):
three songs out right now, we have a bunch more
and they all sound different. They're all still really heavy,
but yeah, it's some wild ass shit.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
I think. I think what I love the most is
that every tune has palate cleansing moments. Right. If you
listen to whole albums where it's all, you know, roughly
the same tempo, Sure, going one hundred miles a second,
it can be good, right, But a lot of times
(16:42):
there's just not enough palate cleansing in there to help
you feel those big moments and to help you feel
the chaos when you bring it on and you guys
do that so well. The dynamics are incredible. I love
how you'll go from like a jaunty little almost like
like a danceable groove, and then all of a sudden,
(17:05):
you're you're breaking out into something that sounds like the
Chariot where it's it's it's heavy and chaotic and it's
all over the place and and it shows a completely
different mastery of what you want to do, and it
keeps everyone on their toes and it cleanses the palette
and then allows for that next moment to hit so
much harder. So are you the one that kind of
(17:28):
comes up with, like you know, like the different movements
within each song, Like are you coming up with like
the vast majority of everything or is Nate helping out
with a lot of.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
That, or is yeah, yeah, It's it's usually built out
of like I'll come up with like like a big idea.
It's usually like my instincts like start it, and I
like a chorus or a verse or things that are repeating,
and then I'll just like I'll send it to Nate
and then I'll be like, let's add a part here,
(17:59):
Let's change that. It's he'll fix up the arrangement and
then he'll be like, hey, change the riff there, or
like vocally he's like, we need to do something with
the chorus here. That's you know, like but like the
song we have a song called black Sheep ironically, iron like,
I mostly do all the guitars and bass on like
(18:20):
most of our songs. That's all neat, Like we changed
it used to be a different song, and he came
up with like more of the lyrics and like the
vocal delivery and all that stuff. So that was it
was really cool, like to see him just be like
a drummer and like producer and mixer and then he's like, oh,
I gotta learn this guitar shit to like you know,
make songs. And then he like sent it to me
(18:42):
and I was like, fuck you dude, Like I've been
doing this since I was in fifth grade and now
you just show up and yeah, rips away. Yeah. It's
it's usually out of like my weird instincts. And then
Nate's like, cool, let's let's break this open. Yeah, yeah, dude,
that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
So it always ticks me off when you get those
people where it's like I've been working my ass off
for this one thing, and you just like come in
and you're so fucking good at this, and it just
it drives me nuts, Like what doesn't matter, Like what, yeah,
whether it's like music producing, doesn't matter, whatever it is.
And then you just get like that one person that's
just so good at the one thing, then they haven't
(19:25):
been even coming close to working for it the way
you have just drives me nuts. But you know what,
some people are just naturally talented in that way.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, I've noticed it's like a thing earlier before we started,
like I'm always like working on my scream and sustainability
and different techniques and stuff for live and you know
all that stuff. And I've noticed for some reason with
drummers they can just a lot of them they just
like can sing really easily, or like if people don't
(19:56):
want to scream, like girls can metals amazingly, like they'll
I'll be like, they'll just like mimic like, oh you
listen to that stuff where it's like ah and they
like spit out the craziest scream and I'm like, perfectly,
you know what.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
That's a real estate agent in Orange County and I'm
like you.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I think that's because they've been mimicking the vocal fry
from Dude for Britney Spears all those years. Right, yes, yeah,
you know what I'm talking about, like, because that's like scre.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
What you're talking about. So many of the women here
talk like that. They're like a metal band. Wow, or
just watch you get a little sample screaming metal band.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
So I gotta put a little bit of behind it.
And they've got it.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
They've got it all.
Speaker 4 (20:54):
You're telling me.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
The only the only exercise I need to become a
great metale is I just watch enough keeping up with
the Kardashians and they'll be all right.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Yeah, we're desperate Housewives of Orange County talk like a
valley girl and you're and you're there. That's it.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
That's that's that's the that's the secret. What that's it.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
That is the metal industry secret for unlocking your harsh vocals.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Sorry, Chris Lee Beg.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I do like that guy he's going on yeah, yeah, yeah.
I learned how to safely scream like Chris Cornell from him.
Speaker 2 (21:40):
So oh right on.
Speaker 4 (21:42):
Yeah, okay, I I gotta ask though.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Okay, so you're like you're a formal a former wrestler guy, Yeah,
what what is it like for you to.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Get on stage? You're screaming?
Speaker 4 (21:56):
Do you wish you could take out, like take out
some of those guys like like what what is it?
Speaker 2 (22:01):
What?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
What is it for you? Like? What what unlocks for you?
Speaker 1 (22:04):
Like?
Speaker 4 (22:06):
Is it like things where it's like.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
I got a question that goes with that. I've noticed.
I've noticed that a lot of times you're wearing a
fur jacket. Oh yeah, do you wear that on stage?
Is it? Is it like bringing back like having to
like run in the hot wrestling room with the sweat sign?
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Man? You know? Dan first response, I have not worn
that on stage yet.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Oh you gotta, you gotta, but.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
Yeah, I lost a lot of water weight shooting that
Bump music video. My god, dude. Yeah yeah yeah, but
you know, so your question is you know we people
on stage?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
Because yeah, do you do you get do you get
feelings of of wanting to cause violence a little bit?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
Oh? No, no, no, no not at all?
Speaker 1 (23:04):
Gotcha.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
No. The thing that I love about performing live is
that there's this like certain surrender that happens to me
where I'm like and this could all just completely can
go wrong, like technical difficulties like whatever, right, Yeah, And
(23:26):
for some reason, it's like I have no choice but
to submit to that whole reality. Like I don't have
time to like get in my head and be like,
well maybe I could blah blah blah like where I
do in regular life all the time. I'll steal. There's
something about it, and it's like I am so free.
(23:46):
That's what I love about performing live and with warre
On Betty because of the kind of music that we make,
it's like it's so fun. So to add to that
feeling to play this music live, it is like, yeah, man,
that's that's what I want.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
Is there is there ever, like a like contradiction or
like dichotomy that exists between how you want to perform
live versus what the audience is experiencing. Partly because the
audience might be experiencing a potential cop just singing songs,
(24:25):
specifically a seventies cop singing songs, do they ever just
like assume, like, wow, the seventies on the seventies cop
show just shows up, and now we don't know whether
or not we can actually mosh or are we gonna
get arrested?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, well it's happened a few times.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
See, I feel like it was a fair question.
Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, it's no. When people come to the show, they
know for the most part, they know what they're getting into.
I definitely have surprise people though, you know, like loading
into venues and stuff like getting there early. Like you
get out of the vehicle and I'm like walking across
the parking lot and people are like, what's that?
Speaker 1 (25:15):
What is that they know you're in a band at
least right? I mean, like, you can't be mistaken. You're
You're not the kind of individual that he mistake. You
could be undercover. But if this is nineteen seventy three,
it might be different. But yeah, yeah, I think there's
(25:39):
there is something to be said.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
That.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
You know, there's a lot of bands that Mason and
I will go see, and you know, you might be
hanging out at a restaurant near the venue beforehand and
you'd be like, oh, that guy looks like he could
be in a band, but I don't know, maybe maybe
not right, maybe he's just a fan whatever. So you
don't necessarily talk to him because you're not entially sure
if they're in a band or not, right, But you
(26:05):
I don't think there's any mistaking it, right. I mean
everyone's gonna be like that guy's in a band, for sure,
if you're anywhere, if you're both like a hundred yards
of a venue, it could be any venue, and they're
gonna say that guy is in a band.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Usually usually I like that non conspicuousness about you. I'm sorry,
the non conspicuousness about you. It's everything's just like laid
on the table obvious. It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
It's amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
I will say one thing I love about Warren Betty
from some of the You know, obviously you guys haven't
released like a ton of music yet, but you know
you're doing this like hardcore heavy music, and there are
these moments of very very too like early two thousands
(27:02):
alternative rock music riffs. Yes that you know that is
so it's so good, like it literally it like brings
me back to like audio slave or something, and it's
so good, and yet you're able to write them in
a way that like actually feels supernatural to like hardcore
(27:23):
music or heavy music, where obviously, like you know, you
guys aren't you're clearly not doing just like alternative rock.
And there's something about that that I find super creative
and very unique, and I don't I don't know if
you have like anything to say about that, but like
that that's like a first impression that I got from
the little music that you guys have out at this point.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Wow, thank you. Yeah, you know, I don't think we've
really spent a lot of time on like let's make
this riff. I think we just like you might be
referring more so to like the song Chicken Bones, Yes,
(28:06):
where it was like I just remember like Rage against
Machine the Born of a Broken Man, that song. I mean,
they do it in so many other songs, but it's
like it's like clean guitar and then it's like here's
(28:29):
the fucking chorus. You step on the distortion pedal and
it's go time. Like that's something that I feel like
got lost a bit over the past, like really, like
I don't know, twelve fifteen years. I mean, I love
like a lot of the music that's been happening, you know, since,
(28:50):
but I was like, oh, just that feel that payoff
of like an explosion and don't do anything crazy, like
let's let that beat drive and like send it home
with like an in your face vocal that's not too
like matthy or you know, like just like yeah, So
I think naturally that those kind of riffs like come about,
(29:14):
and like where I play like these riffs on the guitar,
it's like I'm not doing anything complicated, like really, I'm not.
It just feels like very comfortable. I'm like, oh, could
I play this on acoustic guitar and would it like
ring out? And like would it feel heavy on an
acoustic guitar like that? I don't know. That's that's kind
(29:35):
of how that sense that stuff comes about. I think, Yeah, yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
What should listeners expect for the upcoming war on Betty Songs?
This back catalog that you have ready to go?
Speaker 2 (29:50):
You said, well, man, I don't want to give too
much away, but nothing repeats itself, Like each song is different.
I know a lot of artists say this, but no, like,
for real, each song is totally different. There's always like
(30:12):
a theme to a song. Nate and I we try
to focus on, like what's the identifiable thing about this
song that makes it stand out, you know from any
other like metalcore heavy song. Yeah, Like we have a
song it sounds like if justin Timberlake wrote like a
(30:35):
metal song like nine Inch Nails, Like do we have
a song it's like that, like, but there's also like
some some break there's a breakdown in it that's like
I don't know, very bluesy, heavy, loose like but like
a big open halftime and some screaming, you know, like
(30:56):
oh yeah, yeah, I mean, we have some stuff that's
like a little industrial. We have things where there's like
acoustic guitars in it, but it's still like, you know,
a big loud band. Yeah that's all I'm gonna say
for now on.
Speaker 1 (31:09):
It all right, sweet? Are you doing music videos for
all of them?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
We're trying to do as many as we can, like
that's that's our goal. Our our goal is to have
like a fucking rad music video with with each with
each song. So it's like we're you know, we're taking
our time, you know, we're not just you know, like
my favorite bands are my favorite bands because they wrote
(31:35):
good music, yeah you know, not because they posted so frequently,
you know. So it's like we're like, yeah, let's let's
give them something to be excited about for sure that
they can listen to it or watch because we have
like there's people that are like I remember this woman
was like, yo, I don't normally like this music, but
(31:56):
I saw you and I want you to play at
my wedding. It was like the most like normy person
you get, amattin.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Imagine.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
I was like, yeah, so yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (32:14):
Have you.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I don't know, I don't know if you're aware of
this or not. Mason and I we talked to bands
all the time. We you know, we kind of see
numbers and all that stuff, but we don't we don't
care about numbers per se when it comes to views
on YouTube or on spot.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
I hope not because we don't have that many, but like.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's not something that like we focus on. I don't
think we've ever really had a conversation where we've talked
about that. But for a band with only three songs out,
the amount of popularity that you have on the youtubes
at the very least is basically what I would correlate
(33:01):
to a band that's been around for six years, seven years,
eight years and have been, you know, a pretty high
quality band. The fact you only have three songs out
and you're already kind of hitting those numbers tells me
that this is gonna be a lot bigger than I
think maybe you're expecting it to.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
M Well, thank you, Yeah, it's you know, I have it.
I have all the confidence in it, you know, And
and so is Neat. And we just focus on what
we can control, and so we can control taking our
time and making the songs as exciting to listen to
(33:44):
as we would want from another band, you know, and
taking the time to make sure that these music videos
look look really cool and fine and like as cheesy
as it sounds, like, it's got to be honest, like
your instincts and like your personality, like it all has
to come through, you know. And you know, yeah, seeing
(34:08):
the the it's easy to get lost in numbers right
right exactly, but like a big thing, you know, social
media is a knife, you know, it's it can be
a great tool and it can also be awful, right
but you know, I am great social media as a
(34:28):
tool in a healthy way. And what I've noticed is
I was like, I don't I don't care about like
the boosts you know for advertising, They've been super beneficial
for a ton of people, but for us, we're like,
let's not do that, like like we really want to
know what's real, so we know like who our people are. Like,
(34:50):
I'd much rather have like thirty people really really like
us than like three hundred thousand people that hate heavy
music and they just sawid ad and skipped because they're
trying to look at something for Sephora, and then we
just wasted all that money, you know. So I seeing
(35:11):
the engagement, like the shares and the comments and the
private messages we've been getting, it's, man, we're nothing but
grateful for it. It's it's pretty cool. And uh yeah, yeah,
Like when you guys reached out, I was like, no shit,
I found out about you guys. It was like twenty
(35:34):
it was the beginning of it was the pandemic. Oh
and yeah, and I've been listening to you guys for
you know, that whole time, and I was like, they
have like all the bands on there that I love.
So I listened to you guys all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
Thanks, you only listen for the bands, not for Colin, right.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yes, the band's in Bason, that's all.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Yeah. So no, it's it's it's been a really exciting
and I would see other word I'm looking for. Yeah,
we're just super grateful and we're having a blast. I
love it.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Yeah, do you you have a tour coming up in November?
I believe with under Undertaking.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Uh, we're we're not going on tour with them, We're just.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
Just playing a show. Okay, sounds good. Yeah, those guys
are super excited to meet you. I was talking to
Austin he's a good friend of the show.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
And oh, right on, and he's.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I said, hey, war on, Betty, he listened yet He's like,
he's like, I've listened. I don't know about him yet, though.
I was like, what does that mean? He says, I
don't know. Hopefully they're cool hangs, And I said, well,
with a mustache like that, how can they not be.
So they're excited to meet you.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
I know that's gonna flash that badge and make sure
that's cool Hangs.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
That's right. So make sure you make sure you tell
them a big high from Colin and Mason once you
once you see them in November.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Oh definitely will definitely. Well, yeah, they're they are rad
as hell. Yeah yeah, I really I really really enjoy
his vocals, Like he gets he gets some really good
distortion and he gets his like real true voice, like
his high pitched voice through and it's like, hm, I love.
Speaker 1 (37:27):
That incredibly unique.
Speaker 2 (37:30):
Yeah yeah, and their riffs are disgusting, so so amazing,
and they just they just seem seem like a good
time they are. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Yeah, they bring it live too, which which certainly adds
to the total package that is the undertaking.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
Yeah. Yeah, they're they're good people.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
And you know, there's a reason why they got voted
into Furnace Fest for one year, Like I mean, people
like love them enough where they literally got voted into play.
Speaker 4 (37:56):
Like yeah, just because people love that so much.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Andfully so, they're just they're a fun band.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
They're fun to they're obviously they're good guys.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
And they just play an incredible set. Yeah yeah on
YouTube some of their their live sets, and I was
like all right now, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
It's perfect pairing to have to have War on Betty
with them.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
I think so. I think so. I hopefully I think
it's going to be a wild as time for sure.
Speaker 1 (38:25):
Hopefully you guys can actually you know, like make a
tour or.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Something like that out of it. That'll be great.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be a it'd be a blast. I
would I would travel pretty long distances to go see that.
So all right, I think it's time for your top
five most influential albums. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Dang?
Speaker 1 (38:46):
You can start?
Speaker 2 (38:47):
All right, Well, let's go with Okay, Chevelle. Hell, oh
my gosh, what is it called? It's the one with
the red was the break out of it?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
Why is it not?
Speaker 4 (39:00):
So?
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Well? Wow?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
I don't think we've ever gotten a Chevelle calling. I'll
be honest, we have not.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
Damn what happens next or something?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Wonder what's next? That's it?
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Wonder what's next? Wow? Chevell record? Yeah, the the heavy,
low tuning guitars. I mean I had heard of like
corn before them. Yeah, and uh but just like his
his scream, Like the way the mix of that album
and the melodies and the dynamics, I was just like,
(39:36):
holy shit, that changed some stuff in me for sure.
Speaker 1 (39:41):
I think that's easily got one of the Chevelle themselves
have one of my all time favorite guitar tones. I
don't know what it is that they're doing, but that
tone is instantly recognizable. Oh yeah, so crunchy and delicious.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Yeah. I think it's the way it holds the pick too.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Oh, I'm sure I wouldn't doubt.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Like, Yeah, shit. I mean, I'm so bad with album names.
Speaker 1 (40:08):
That's okay, Mason. Mason and I honestly are pretty bad
at it as well.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
So okay, okay, I guess The Fiance the Chariot that.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
That's an album name that we're not bad at.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I'll just be on.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
We are pretty good at that one.
Speaker 2 (40:24):
We nailed that one.
Speaker 4 (40:25):
We got that one.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
We're huge fans.
Speaker 2 (40:29):
Oh yeah, they're They're They're Them and Norma Jean are
my favorite heavy bands.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
So that being said, I did just listen to The
Fiance in its entirety last week. I feel, you know,
it's one of those albums where literally, what's funny is
I think, what is it? Is it your third favorite
Chariot album Coulen or fourth?
Speaker 2 (40:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (40:55):
Fourth?
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Actually yeah?
Speaker 4 (40:56):
And I remember, like Colin and I have this debate
all the time.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
I I think it might be my third at least
probably my second maybe, and and I remember thinking to
myself like, yeah, it's still probably my second or.
Speaker 4 (41:10):
Third, knowing that for Colin for sure it's his fourth.
Speaker 3 (41:14):
And I remember thinking to myself as I'm listening to it, damn,
Colin is wrong.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
And I felt so vindicated by it. I loved it.
Speaker 4 (41:23):
I was just like, I think Colin's wrong here.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
I just think it's so good. It's so good, So why.
Speaker 1 (41:33):
Why why the Fiance for You? Why is that one
of those super influential records.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Okay, So I was like a weird kid. I mean
I'm a weird adult now, but I never went to
shows growing up. I did like local, I'd go to
like see like local shows like friends, bands and stuff,
but like in my mind, it just like wasn't an
It was such a luxury or like go to a concert.
So weird. So that my friends listen to the Chariot
(42:02):
and they were like, Yo, we're gonna go see this band.
You should come with, And I was like all right,
So I listened to it and I was like instantly
like it grabbed me. And then I saw them live
it was them Norma jean A Life Once Lost, and
then Handshake for Murder Holy was my first like real
(42:22):
heavy show I.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
Went to, Yeah you were Baptized right away.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
It's like like it literally changed, it literally changed me.
And Yeah, when I saw the Chariot, I was like, okay,
like this is music that I like, Like I wanted
to be in the Chariot, so bad, so bad.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, judging by our conversations with members of the Chariot,
it sounds like it actually probably could have been a possibility.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Yeah, dude, the story with like Casey Woolf. Yeah, they
just like showed up on a college campus or something.
Josh was like ul a base or something or like
pretty much that.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
He was psychotic. Psychotic. Yeah, I love that though. That's
that's like the definition of like d I y oh yeah,
and just like trusting other people's instincts, you know, totally.
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (43:24):
So number three influence album.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
I believe the name of the album was Middle of
Nowhere and it's Hanson.
Speaker 4 (43:31):
Oh yeah, like like the boy pop band.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yes, yeah, I remember I was on a I was
on a road trip with my family and that was
like one of my first albums I bought. It was
like Hanson and then uh Tragic Kingdom No Doubt.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Oh hell yeah it's a killer record too.
Speaker 2 (43:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
I'm glad that you said Hanson because everyone on here
wants to be cool and.
Speaker 2 (44:01):
They wanna they want to say some heavy.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
Yeah, they want to say some heavy or something like
super artsy fartsy and stuff like that. But like if
I'm being truly honest. My most influential album because it
was the first album I ever got was Aaron's Party,
Come Get It by Aaron Carter.
Speaker 2 (44:19):
Yeah. Sure, like.
Speaker 1 (44:22):
That was my intro to music. So like, people should
be more honest on here.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
I think we should.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
We should we should force that, we should force our
guests from now on, Mason to say what their first
album they ever got was.
Speaker 4 (44:35):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
I mean, no one, no one's No one's gonna look
as cool if if they have to say Aaron's Party,
Come Get It by Aaron Carter.
Speaker 4 (44:42):
You know, Millennium by Backstreet Boys.
Speaker 1 (44:47):
Hell, yeah, that's a bit, that's a lot. Great.
Speaker 2 (44:50):
Hell Okay, here's the thing. All right, you know, all
growing up, everyone was like you look at the Backstreet.
Speaker 1 (44:55):
Boys, like, yeah, they're fucking amazing.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Listen, I've been working in bars my whole adult life, Dude,

This is so tough. Like as far as influence, it's good,
Norma Jean, Yeah, which one? Which one? Redeemer? Oh really
gott yeah call good call. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (48:30):
I would have been right about the same time that
Fiance came.
Speaker 2 (48:32):
Out, right year before Redeemer came out year before, yeah,
probably the same year.
Speaker 4 (48:41):
Six, and then Fiance came out two thousand and seven.
Speaker 1 (48:44):
Yeah, ship, okay, So they would have been that that
that first show that you were.
Speaker 2 (48:49):
Talking about that's it exactly?
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Yeah, yeah, yep, jeez, what a what a formative?
Speaker 2 (48:57):

Just imagine you never went to that show?
Speaker 2 (49:04):
Assure you that?
Speaker 1 (49:05):
Yeah, who are you without that show?
Speaker 2 (49:09):
That is so insane to think about. Yeah, even if
A continues on with Warren Bettys, just like what that
music did for me and provided for me on so
many levels. Holy ship, Yeah, yeah, the Chariot and Norman
(49:29):
Jean got you know you hear this all the time.
Man it it fucking it got me through some some
ship and on a deep level, and it also brought
me incredible joy. Still it still does, still.
Speaker 4 (49:42):
Does without those albums, I probably hate culin yeah.
Speaker 1 (49:49):
Yeah, yeah, and vice versa.
Speaker 2 (49:52):
I'm glad you guys had that music then.
Speaker 1 (49:55):
Yeah, for real, that's what brought us again.
Speaker 2 (49:57):
I thank god, or we would have each other. So yeah,
that's right. I mean I kind of still do, but
I do too.
Speaker 1 (50:09):
If I could jump on the screen right now and
slit your throat, I might next time, next time, next
time we sleep together? All right? All right? What would
you like to plug? Do you have? Do you have
an album coming out? An EP? Are you looking at
that down the road?
Speaker 2 (50:27):
A no, no, no album yet. We're gonna keep releasing
some singles like every couple of months month, you know.
Hell yeah, we have a song coming out on the
twenty fourth, so this Friday, well, whenever this airs whatever,
it'll be out the twenty fourth, and then we'll have
a music video for it for it out on Halloween.
(50:48):
That's what we're aiming for. So the song is called
slumber Party. And yeah, we're gonna be playing a show
with the undertaking hell yeah program Skate Shop Fullerton November ninth,
come through. We will also be playing in Hollywood, I said,
(51:09):
November twenty first at the Bar Sinister And yeah, those
are the immediate things, but there's definitely a lot more
to come.
Speaker 3 (51:20):
I love the fact that their show is still happening
at skate skate places, like that's cool.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
That's pretty cool. It's so rad, it's so rad.
Speaker 1 (51:31):
Yeah, those are two two worlds that have always existed
together and they should always continue to do.
Speaker 3 (51:40):
We can't let we can't like the we can't let
those exist as like museums like those have to like
keep existing as like a real.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
Thing that's happening in real time.
Speaker 3 (51:49):
That can't be a thing that we talk about just
like simply a new museum.
Speaker 2 (51:53):
That's right, I agree, I agreed.
Speaker 1 (51:56):
No bygone eras here? All right, awesome? Anything else you'd
like to play?
Speaker 2 (52:02):
Oh yeah, I mean this isn't probably gonna happen until
like January. But we're gonna do the lobster batch. What's
that here in Orange County? Yeah, Well it's like we
they release like, hey, the city the City of Coasta,
Mesa will release like a bunch of lobsters and like
home depots and drug stores and yeah, and so you
(52:26):
gotta go, you gotta go catch them, and you have
to like dress them up, you know, as Disney characters
and then set them back into the ocean and call
and then you call a relative you haven't seen in
a while, and and that's the whole point of it.
Speaker 1 (52:48):
I love it. Okay.
Speaker 4 (52:49):
So there there's two.
Speaker 3 (52:51):
It feels like it's like hinged on two things. So
Disney character and relative. So for you, like, what what's
your preferred Disney.
Speaker 4 (52:58):
Character that you're gonna dress up this lobster as?
Speaker 3 (53:01):
And what's who's the long last relative you're gonna call
for the first time in a while.
Speaker 2 (53:06):
I'll probably a dress up this this lot. You know, lobster.
Speaker 4 (53:10):
I find is you can't do Sebastian from uh.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Because he's a crab.
Speaker 2 (53:16):
Yeah he's Yeah.
Speaker 4 (53:19):
It feels it feels a little too on the nose
for that guy.
Speaker 1 (53:22):
Yeah, even though it's a complete different species, no big deal.
Speaker 2 (53:26):
Yeah, kind of close though too close. It's a crustacean. Yeah,
I can't do one of those.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
So what So what's the episode? I love this Simba, Like,
are you gonna dressed up as Simba?
Speaker 2 (53:41):
Like I was just gonna do it as Ursula? But
I mean, I know I could, I could, I could
change it to Simba. La is fantastic. I don't know.
I like to do things on the spot.
Speaker 1 (53:52):
She's a queen. I like. I like Ursula, you know,
she's a dog. I love like the community orientedness of this.
You know, it feels very feels very unique. Every every
town has like what feels like the exact same thing
going on. They're like, oh, for Turkey Day, five K
and let's let's have a I don't know, a dance
(54:18):
down on the main street. But like this is like
this is actually happening.
Speaker 2 (54:24):
Yeah, this really gets everyone out of their houses. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (54:27):
Well, and also contacting a relative that you haven't maybe
spoken to in a while that.
Speaker 2 (54:32):
You probably should right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?
Speaker 3 (54:36):
So who is that for you? I mean, it looks
like you just got out of prison. So who's the
person that you need to talk to? Probably Gus Gus
from from Breaking Bad.
Speaker 2 (54:50):
No, No, Gus is a he's an uncle of mine.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Oh oh wait, we probably shouldn't talk much more about
Gus if he's an uncle.
Speaker 2 (55:00):
People like that, all right.
Speaker 4 (55:02):
Well, yeah, you know, we'll just keep it at that.
Speaker 2 (55:04):
Gus. You just need to talk to Gus. We got it.
Speaker 3 (55:08):
I'm not saying much more because i'd like to I
value my life enough to not talk more about Gus.
Speaker 1 (55:15):
I think you should instead maybe reach out to Missus Purcell.
Speaker 2 (55:24):
Yeah yeah, I think.
Speaker 3 (55:26):
She's got a number. By the way, I'm just saying,
like I can give you the number.
Speaker 1 (55:30):
You should be like I have. I have a diamond
and crusted glove that I would like for you to
be read.
Speaker 3 (55:38):
I mean, I'm just saying, we're just saying, like, you know,
she's you know, into you know, into that kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
You know. I don't know, like I don't know where
she's at right now, you know.
Speaker 1 (55:48):
Healthy. Yeah, but she you could make her a family member,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (55:56):
You know, I thought she's I thought she saw that
she liked the way I'm out her lawn, But I
don't know.
Speaker 1 (56:06):
Yeah, just god, I cannot wait to see your pictures
of Lobster Bash. It's it sounds like a fun time.
Speaker 2 (56:15):
It really is.
Speaker 1 (56:17):
Yeah, have you done it before?
Speaker 2 (56:19):
No? No, but this is the year I'm going to nice.
Speaker 4 (56:25):
I mean, you gotta start somewhere, right.
Speaker 1 (56:28):
Maybe this is one of the like maybe this is
like one of those like catalyst moments in your life,
kind of like the Chariot Norman Jean Show, and like
your life is going to completely change because you participated
in the lobsters Bash this year.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Man, I mean that would that would be I don't
know if if it'll be at that that scale, but hopefully, yeah, yeah, hopefully.
Speaker 1 (56:50):
The beautiful thing about life is we never know what
next moment that's going to be, So it could be
it could be the Lobster Bash.
Speaker 4 (56:57):
And the thing the beautiful thing about Lobster Bash is
could very turn into a very easily could turn into
lopster bisk.
Speaker 1 (57:05):
That's right, and that is the ideal soup.
Speaker 2 (57:08):
If you ask me. Yeah, I mean we we shouldn't
because we're setting these these lopsters free.
Speaker 1 (57:18):
But but then you get there, they're easy. Then you
just go get one of their captive friends down at
the costco and now you're now it's full circle.
Speaker 2 (57:31):
Yeah, it's the circle of life, the circle of life.
Speaker 4 (57:33):
It's way more human through their head rather than boil them.
Speaker 2 (57:37):
But just by the way, just so you.
Speaker 1 (57:39):
Know, that's also a Disney reference. So I mean you
could really make that work.
Speaker 2 (57:45):
Circle of that.
Speaker 1 (57:49):
Yeah, it could work, It could work. Maybe maybe it
does need to be Simba.
Speaker 3 (57:58):
By the way, if he ever needs a fetto, we've
got a guy for you, just saying, really, really, we're
really trying to make it happen, just trying.
Speaker 1 (58:08):
Yeah, I'm trying. I'm trying to get on somebody's record
at some point.
Speaker 2 (58:11):
So so if you're in.
Speaker 4 (58:15):
You ever see a falsetto, you know who you talked.
Speaker 1 (58:17):

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
