It was fun man, being back with these guys again, right, and it was awesome to come up with Revolution. But there's so many more songs waiting to be done. I mean, we've got so many different different tunes and everything like just waiting to We actually have our producer coming. Out on this tour that we're on right now because we don't have time. We don't have any time, so we're bringing him out to actually capture some of the ideas that we have and everything while we're on the road. And I can't wait to get some of this new music out there. It's it's yeah, they're the excitement of you know, rhyme being back and the connection that we have. We always had a great writing relationship and a friendship, and you know, this last year we've been playing shows and just capturing that energy, capturing all that and putting that in music in a song.

6:55 Man. That's why we can't wait to get it out. We're on fire them and as an artist, you want to do new shit. Like people don't realize that. Like it's like you're like bored to death if you can't write new ship. We're still gonna give you what you want to hear and what you love. But you know we're gonna throw that new song on every now and then. And Revolution fits right in with the mix. I mean, it's the core sound of Jarnapo with Brian's distinct one of a kind real boys. Come on, I'm trying. With what you were saying though, you're absolutely right man. It's we're giving this gift to be able to do this as a job, and we need it because it's a release. It's a way to get out our.

7:35 Frustrations, our joys, our our emotions. Is to be able to put it into music and be able to be given the gift, to be able to still be doing that this many years into it, because people are still giving us the time of day. It's an amazing fucking present every day that we wake up. Man, it's awesome. I love that. Actually, we're have with a crowd today. Man. It was insane and I'm in awe of. People artists like you that can still write new stuff. I would like to think to myself, man, how do you keep doing it after all those years? And it amazing now, I mean, we. Haven't you know, we reconnected. You know, it's been a good thirteen years since we've been writing again, and then a lot of stuff's going on all our lives. Man, we have a lot to write about, you know. We write what we feel what's going on at this time.

8:25 It's a lot going on and planet Earth, man, which is why revolution. Oh you mean to play and that's what we do. It's yeah, it's expressing out. I feel that's the gift, is being able to get out what we have building up inside of us. Every day. Yeah, it's it's. Being I mean I'd be locked up with some insane asylum right now, but wasn't for the fact that I was able to actually express my emotions and my feelings in music. So every day is something new. Every day we wake up and something something twist your nets is the wrong way, and music allows us to get that out. And to your point, let me tell you what happened recently, because true for the ors, true for the fan, like, that's the way we get It's the best therapy there is.

9:07 So Sunday because they didn't play it lower in life, but Sunday I got to see Slayer. I had some bad shit going on recently, so I left all that bad ship in the Slayer. Pit, even the pit many you're staying about metal, like like it's sometimes it's called the heavy metal workout, or just like it's it's going. You come out of here and you get that out and depends and you can get on with your lives being happy, right because you know it's it's frown upon. You know. I think it saved me from going to jail because the next day I was flying out here for this and I'm sitting the airport about to charge my AirPods. I haven't charged and they're plugged in. Dude next to me doesn't say anything, doesn't ask pulls my charge out and puts his it people. Oh, if it weren't for that Slayer Pit, I was going to jail because I knocked the shit out of him. I was already a bad mood before a slayer you would have done that, I would have gone over the fucking top and forgot I was at airport and that would have been in I wouldn't be here with you right now. But the Pit saved me.

10:13 Yeah, that's so much about there's so many different aspects of life, of everyday life. The Revolution speaks to me. The New Song speaks to me with is that like every day we live, we're dealing with a society now. The things that are making a difference. If they that they post a meme on social media and. Everything instead of actually standing up and saying, man, stuff is messed up. Yeah, you know, like when it was the last time you held the door open for somebody and they actually said thank you. Oh wait, I get the opposite, like they get Matt, I can do it myself. Well, I know you can do it yourself. I'm just being nice.

10:54 Friends and family. Right to this day. I'm always yes, sir, no ma'am, No matter how old person is because it's respect. Oh yeah, I said it to somebody yesterday. Kid was like, what twenty and he helped me with something. I'm like, thank you, sir. You know it has nothing to do with age. Let's do it respect, respect and being nice together. We have to look at it as a planetary thing and not like a different culture and country and religion and freaking government. It's like, we have to come together and just the life is hard, it's built to fail, It's it's there to take you down. So like, let's help each other out when we get man. Absolutely no better words. And that's what music does, and that's what this rock metal family does because when we're here, we're all united.

11:39 The whole world could take a lesson from rockers and metal heads. Cool as you come to rock show, every right, you know what do just come to the rock show and see what we do here that part of it. Man, be part of the family. I have this idea that basically we should just take everybody in the world that's at war, fighting and everything else and put on one huge festival with everybody there. Sit down and look, let's go to happy hour, Let's have a drink, let's talk about these things. Put the guns down. Let's what do you want? You want? You want? He's a bread, you want some apples and oranges? Look, I got some shrimp. What do you guys? You got some Tomalley's, Let's trade them. I'm good. I vote Drowning Pool for president. Twenty twenty four, Ryan went.

12:19 So you can, you can't make a difference. We went to Capitol Hill where year was at, and we helped pass the Lanes Evans Bill, which helps our troops get bettermental health care. You can. We had fifty thousand of our fans soigned petition, and you can make that. It's still I mean, it's hard, but you can still like there's still some freedom left. Man, gotta believe in it. Yeah, ay about rioting or any of that shits, but actually making a difference, man, actually getting off your ass and getting away from the computer and actually speaking and making a difference. I love it. That's where it should be. That's why it's revolution, the final amen. If we just have one more where the revolution, My revolution is like happy hour. Let's sit down from four to six. I like it, and we sit down and we talk about stuff, have a drink, and then solve all the worst problems in those two hours, and then we're good.
