All right, everybody, this is Uncle Dad and we're hanging out,
67
00:04:12,345 --> 00:04:15,125
just kind of getting a lay of the land, if you will.
68
00:04:15,485 --> 00:04:19,265
Mike, or Just Mike, however you want me to call you. However you want me to report to you, sir.
69
00:04:19,745 --> 00:04:24,765
Well, you call me Mike, but I think I have to refer to myself as Just Mike when
70
00:04:24,765 --> 00:04:26,445
you introduce yourself as Uncle Dad.
71
00:04:27,405 --> 00:04:32,405
Oh, I like it. So I'm Uncle Dad, and I am with me, as always, is? I'm Just Mike.
72
00:04:32,885 --> 00:04:36,345
There we go. I love it. See, we got it down. Okay, so we're going to see about some interviews.
73
00:04:36,505 --> 00:04:39,005
I'm hoping that we can talk to some legends like Peter Weller,
74
00:04:39,025 --> 00:04:43,225
who was RoboCop. Do you like RoboCop? I like RoboCop. What's your favorite RoboCop movie?
75
00:04:43,525 --> 00:04:45,725
The first one. That's it? That's all.
76
00:04:46,425 --> 00:04:51,285
That's all I need, right? I actually liked RoboCop 2. I know a lot of people
77
00:04:51,285 --> 00:04:54,345
will get mad about that. And I kind of dug the TV show.
78
00:04:55,605 --> 00:05:00,405
I like RoboCop 3. Which one was that one? The third one. Oh, okay.
79
00:05:02,285 --> 00:05:05,705
Also, it'd be cool to talk to legends such as Julia Lewis, but I don't think
80
00:05:05,705 --> 00:05:06,405
that'll probably happen.
81
00:05:06,665 --> 00:05:09,305
But if we did talk to her, what's your favorite movie by her?
82
00:05:09,685 --> 00:05:11,585
Natural Born Killers. Such a great movie, dude.
83
00:05:12,105 --> 00:05:14,545
It is a great movie. Woody Harrelson's obviously great in it.
84
00:05:15,185 --> 00:05:18,405
She's great in it. they're great together they have
85
00:05:18,405 --> 00:05:21,285
that scene where they're in taos and he throws
86
00:05:21,285 --> 00:05:27,045
the thing off the bridge over the gorge and i've been to that gorge and got
87
00:05:27,045 --> 00:05:31,985
stuck down there and i'm in the dark with no light you did me and uh my friend
88
00:05:31,985 --> 00:05:37,625
brandon the brandon brandon bracamonte yes we we got stuck down in the bottom
89
00:05:37,625 --> 00:05:41,225
of that gorge so it holds a special place in my heart,
90
00:05:42,629 --> 00:05:46,009
Good to know. You too and your adventures. I swear.
91
00:05:47,429 --> 00:05:49,949
That's one day we should just do an episode of just you and him reliving the
92
00:05:49,949 --> 00:05:51,229
past. What do you think about that?
93
00:05:52,149 --> 00:05:55,589
Well, I think there's like five people that might want to hear that. But yeah, sure.
94
00:05:56,809 --> 00:05:59,289
Hey, man. At the end of the day, this will always live on, right?
95
00:05:59,389 --> 00:06:03,049
So your story will be there for someone to hear. So we're here hanging out.
96
00:06:03,609 --> 00:06:10,429
Mike got to open up his beautiful little treat, his little fake Popsicle, which I think you love.
97
00:06:10,509 --> 00:06:12,829
Yes. It's fake? Yeah, you're not supposed to eat it.
98
00:06:15,829 --> 00:06:18,849
Well, don't sue Andrew because he told me I couldn't sue him either. So there you go.
99
00:06:19,349 --> 00:06:23,749
Well, and congratulations to him for doing the licensing with Care Bears and

terminator 2 was was obviously for
108
00:06:49,289 --> 00:06:52,729
anyone in my generation a huge movie and you
109
00:06:52,729 --> 00:06:59,329
were the coolest kid ever i i assume we're around the same age but how how old
110
00:06:59,329 --> 00:07:10,009
were you when you filmed terminator 2 i was 13 yeah i was And so that character
111
00:07:10,009 --> 00:07:12,409
that you played was such a cool character.
112
00:07:12,489 --> 00:07:17,609
How did that influence you as a regular 13-year-old kid in real life?
113
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:18,789
It changed everything, man.
114
00:07:19,109 --> 00:07:24,489
I wasn't an actor. I wasn't anything.
115
00:07:24,809 --> 00:07:31,229
I was just basically discovered at a boys club. And it changed my whole life, man.
116
00:07:32,149 --> 00:07:37,869
Overnight. Overnight. Yeah. And I think it changed it for the better, man. I really do.
117
00:07:38,269 --> 00:07:41,209
I don't know what else I would have done because I mean I was very lucky to
118
00:07:41,209 --> 00:07:43,969
kind of fall into something that I love at such a young age you
119
00:07:43,969 --> 00:07:46,989
know but yeah yeah like that
120
00:07:46,989 --> 00:07:49,649
watching that movie and like the scenes are so
121
00:07:49,649 --> 00:07:53,649
intense and you have Arnold you know the Terminator he's helping you but like
122
00:07:53,649 --> 00:07:58,829
the way that you're you hold it all together me as someone who is probably about
123
00:07:58,829 --> 00:08:03,669
the same age as you when you made that movie like I totally resonated with you
124
00:08:03,669 --> 00:08:08,269
as that character Do you feel like part of that character was you?
125
00:08:08,629 --> 00:08:14,549
Like how much of your actual personality did you bring into that young John Connor?
126
00:08:14,729 --> 00:08:21,229
Oh man, I would like to believe that I was that cool as a 13 year old kid,
127
00:08:21,409 --> 00:08:24,489
but you know, I mean look, there was a lot, you know, they.
128
00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:28,749
Brought me in obviously because i was they wanted like a
129
00:08:28,749 --> 00:08:31,449
real kid you know not an actor or anything
130
00:08:31,449 --> 00:08:34,369
so you know i i brought a lot of me to the role
131
00:08:34,369 --> 00:08:37,549
but and then a lot of it is just jim cameron
132
00:08:37,549 --> 00:08:43,529
man and slick editing great dialogue and and just making me look way cooler
133
00:08:43,529 --> 00:08:49,309

134
00:08:49,309 --> 00:08:54,749
so we're here in new orleans and i'm do Do you get to enjoy New Orleans while you're here at all?
135
00:08:54,889 --> 00:08:57,469
Do you go down in the French Quarter or anything like that?
136
00:08:57,629 --> 00:09:02,489
I will, I will, actually. I have some friends out here, and I always love coming
137
00:09:02,489 --> 00:09:04,869
out to New Orleans. So, yeah, it's great. I will.
138
00:09:05,169 --> 00:09:07,289
Right on, right on. Well, maybe we'll see you on Frenchman Street.
139
00:09:07,429 --> 00:09:10,109
All right, Eddie, thanks so much, man, for talking to us. Yeah, peace and love.
140
00:09:10,709 --> 00:09:14,589
Uncle Dad's here hanging out with Sarah Nottacchetti. Nottacchetti? Nottacchetti.
141
00:09:15,749 --> 00:09:18,569
That's a fun word to say. Nottacchetti, right? Right. Sarah,
142
00:09:18,649 --> 00:09:21,629
you are famously the voice of Ash Ketchum currently.
143
00:09:21,929 --> 00:09:25,609
And I have to ask you, when you switched over, you got this role.
144
00:09:25,729 --> 00:09:28,889
Right. How how daunting was that to get this role?
145
00:09:29,169 --> 00:09:34,409
The show was already entering season nine. So it was definitely I had large
146
00:09:34,409 --> 00:09:38,509
shoes to fill and it was my first big job. So it was very daunting.
147
00:09:38,609 --> 00:09:41,849
And I knew I didn't have the job until it actually made it to television.
148
00:09:41,989 --> 00:09:46,429
So I approached it as like, this is this is just a fun thing I get to do right
149
00:09:46,429 --> 00:09:50,629
now. What do you say when you were getting into that headspace of being Ash
150
00:09:50,629 --> 00:09:52,149
Ketchum, what do you think the biggest challenge was?
151
00:09:52,909 --> 00:09:58,829
You know, I can't say that I found it too challenging to do the performance
152
00:09:58,829 --> 00:10:02,129
because I'm so kid-like and at that point I was 18 years old,
153
00:10:02,169 --> 00:10:04,429
so that was really fresh in my mind, just being a kid.
154
00:10:05,396 --> 00:10:08,236
And he was just like this adventurous, tenacious kid. And that's exactly what
155
00:10:08,236 --> 00:10:11,676
I was. So it wasn't too far of a departure from who I am naturally.
156
00:10:12,436 --> 00:10:13,976
Isn't that great that you just get a role? You're like, hey,
157
00:10:14,016 --> 00:10:17,756
you know what? I'm basically Ash Ketchum. I want to say that in my life, that I'm basically Ash.
158
00:10:17,816 --> 00:10:21,616
I want to be the Ash Ketchum of podcasting. Can I do that? Yeah,
159
00:10:21,656 --> 00:10:22,916
if you work hard enough, yeah. Okay.
160
00:10:23,616 --> 00:10:25,396
Well, I got to get better at that, I think.
161
00:10:26,336 --> 00:10:29,156
But you know what's funny? One of my favorite roles that you did is probably
162
00:10:29,156 --> 00:10:30,716
one of the most unconventional ones.
163
00:10:31,496 --> 00:10:35,136
I actually love the fact that you're the voices of the mini marshmallow man.
164
00:10:35,736 --> 00:10:38,256
And in, oh my God, Ghostbusters Afterlife. Yes.
165
00:10:38,956 --> 00:10:42,696
So when you did that, I had, my thing, what was that like getting that call
166
00:10:42,696 --> 00:10:44,436
to be a part of that film? Did you know?
167
00:10:44,696 --> 00:10:47,336
Oh my goodness. That was such a surprise. It was a total surprise.
168
00:10:47,376 --> 00:10:50,496
It was a group of us actors and I did it from home because it was during the pandemic.
169
00:10:50,976 --> 00:10:54,416
And I, yeah, I didn't get to see anybody else. We didn't get to, you know, together.
170
00:10:55,276 --> 00:10:58,576
But I was very surprised to get that call and really, really fun to do.
171
00:10:58,756 --> 00:11:01,636
Yeah, it was so fun. And honestly, it's like the, it's probably my highlight of that movie.
172
00:11:02,236 --> 00:11:06,116
Really, it's such a fun thing. So I just had to tell you how much I love that.
173
00:11:06,216 --> 00:11:08,376
So I don't want to take too much of your time, but thank you so much.
174
00:11:08,496 --> 00:11:11,936
And can I just ask you, where can our audience connect with you online and stuff?
175
00:11:12,196 --> 00:11:15,816
Anywhere you exist on social media, I'm right there with you at Sarah Natachene,
176
00:11:16,396 --> 00:11:17,036
absolutely everywhere.
177
00:11:17,676 --> 00:11:21,336
That easy, that easy. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Thank you. Take care.
178
00:11:22,036 --> 00:11:25,516
Hi, everybody. Uncle Dad here hanging out with probably one of the most legendary
179
00:11:25,516 --> 00:11:27,316
voices in television for children.
180
00:11:27,756 --> 00:11:31,316
Let's give it up for Kathleen Herles. Did I get that right?
181
00:11:31,916 --> 00:11:35,116
Yes, you did. and you might recognize this voice.
182
00:11:35,776 --> 00:11:37,536
Hi, I'm Dora the Explorer.
183
00:11:38,516 --> 00:11:43,516
My heart just fell through the roof right now or to the floor. I can't even talk. Wow.
184
00:11:44,076 --> 00:11:47,596
That voice meant the world to me growing up. And it's actually a good way how,
185
00:11:47,716 --> 00:11:50,596
the reason why I want to talk to you is because your show did so much for my
186
00:11:50,596 --> 00:11:54,356
childhood growing up because it allowed me to connect with my sister in a very
187
00:11:54,356 --> 00:11:56,796
unique way because my sister and I are 10 years apart.
188
00:11:57,196 --> 00:12:01,176
And so when I was growing up, we didn't really have a lot of ways to kind of find connection. Yeah.
189
00:12:01,256 --> 00:12:05,896
But she loved the idea of watching the show together because we were able to
190
00:12:05,896 --> 00:12:07,036
kind of play the game together.
191
00:12:07,996 --> 00:12:09,916
Yeah. Yeah. And so- We wanted an adventure. We wanted an adventure.
192
00:12:10,636 --> 00:12:13,276
Exactly, exactly. So what I'm curious to learn, like when you have,
193
00:12:13,396 --> 00:12:16,736
when you went into this role, did you kind of know like, okay,
194
00:12:16,756 --> 00:12:18,196
we got a magical thing here?
195
00:12:18,416 --> 00:12:20,896
Or do you just kind of think, oh, this is just another acting experience?
196
00:12:21,096 --> 00:12:26,336
What did you think? So I was cast when I was seven years old and the show aired when I was 10.
197
00:12:26,636 --> 00:12:33,636
So and now looking back on it as an adult, I did not know the magnitude or like
198
00:12:33,636 --> 00:12:38,516
how important and how impactful the show was and my voice was.
199
00:12:38,896 --> 00:12:44,416
So but I mean, I understand it. I meet so many people like being at these cons
200
00:12:44,416 --> 00:12:49,336
and hearing stories like yours, like the memories that they have watching the show.
201
00:12:49,636 --> 00:12:54,076
It's really impactful for sure. And it's crazy because you wouldn't think such
202
00:12:54,076 --> 00:12:57,056
a, you know, it's a very simple idea at its core. Right.
203
00:12:57,316 --> 00:13:01,536
But it connects people in so many ways, you know, I mean, to help teach my sister Spanish.
204
00:13:01,756 --> 00:13:04,916
And I think in some respects, it's one of the starting points that wanted her
205
00:13:04,916 --> 00:13:07,536
to be in Hollywood. My sister actually works in Hollywood now.
206
00:13:07,716 --> 00:13:11,976
Yeah. And so it's one of those just crazy factors that these characters can
207
00:13:11,976 --> 00:13:13,356
bring such life to us inside.
208
00:13:13,576 --> 00:13:16,276
And also representation. That's a big thing, too. Yes.
209
00:13:16,956 --> 00:13:21,376
Yeah. Yeah. So I'm curious about that. You know, was that was that a scary feeling
210
00:13:21,376 --> 00:13:24,776
being like one of the only Hispanic characters on television?
211
00:13:24,896 --> 00:13:29,136
Yeah, you know, for sure. So my parents are immigrants from Peru.
212
00:13:29,336 --> 00:13:32,116
I was born in New York. I grew up here.
213
00:13:34,303 --> 00:13:38,303
You know, my Spanish was, it was good. I always spoke with my grandmother,
214
00:13:38,463 --> 00:13:40,083
but it wasn't a hundred percent.
215
00:13:40,163 --> 00:13:42,903
Like I didn't have that accent, like, you know, some other people did.
216
00:13:42,983 --> 00:13:46,463
So I did feel self-conscious sometimes, like, you know, being the voice of this
217
00:13:46,463 --> 00:13:51,943
Latina heroine, like, you know, this leader for children's programming at the time.
218
00:13:52,043 --> 00:13:56,363
And I felt sometimes I did feel like I wasn't Latina enough or like good enough
219
00:13:56,363 --> 00:14:00,223
to play her, you know, but everyone comes from somewhere.
220
00:14:00,223 --> 00:14:03,183
Everyone has their story and you know wherever you
221
00:14:03,183 --> 00:14:06,863
are born if your family's from wherever they're
222
00:14:06,863 --> 00:14:09,603
from that's who you are that's a part of who you are so like I
223
00:14:09,603 --> 00:14:14,423
had to learn that and I'm proud to be her voice you know that almost got me
224
00:14:14,423 --> 00:14:18,883
choked up man because I know what that's like just you know being I'm not me
225
00:14:18,883 --> 00:14:22,023
my parents are immigrants too so it's like you know for Mexico so it's just
226
00:14:22,023 --> 00:14:26,423
such a you do what you did was such an important thing for us as all Latinx
227
00:14:26,423 --> 00:14:28,283
people so just thank Thank you for doing that.
228
00:14:28,543 --> 00:14:31,163
And I got to ask one last thing. So a little fun.
229
00:14:31,583 --> 00:14:34,503
What is your favorite Peruvian dish to eat? Okay.
230
00:14:35,003 --> 00:14:40,643
So this is, I don't, a lot of people don't know, but this dish is called ají de gallina.
231
00:14:41,263 --> 00:14:45,543
So it can be, it's mostly made with shredded chicken, but I think in Peru,
232
00:14:45,603 --> 00:14:49,183
sometimes they do it with hen, which I know like a lot of like chicken soup
233
00:14:49,183 --> 00:14:53,123
is done or they prefer to do it with hen, but it's amazing. It's yellow.
234
00:14:53,303 --> 00:14:56,043
It looks disgusting, but it tastes amazing.
235
00:14:56,243 --> 00:14:58,843
Okay. Okay, what's the name of that dish again? Ají de gallina.
236
00:14:59,463 --> 00:15:02,243
I'm going to try that. There's a Peruvian place. I live in the Bay Area.
237
00:15:02,563 --> 00:15:05,263
And so there's a place out there that's Peruvian. I'm going to try it.
238
00:15:05,263 --> 00:15:06,023
I'm going to ask for that. Thank you.
239
00:15:06,443 --> 00:15:08,803
Awesome. Well, thank you, Kathleen. Thank you so much for your time and effort.
240
00:15:08,923 --> 00:15:11,983
Really, I can't just say it was just an absolute pleasure talking to you.
241
00:15:12,063 --> 00:15:13,983
Well, thank you. Bye. Adios.
242
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:28,080
Music.
243
00:15:28,271 --> 00:15:32,431
All right, everybody. Uncle Dad is back with day two of Fan Expo Norla.
244
00:15:32,651 --> 00:15:38,011
And Mike, you're with me, but please introduce us to your super hot, sexy friend. Oh, shit.
245
00:15:38,911 --> 00:15:43,991
Yeah, today we have a special guest along for the adventures of Fan Expo.
246
00:15:44,051 --> 00:15:50,031
We have Vincent Broussard from the Grammy Award winning Rebirth Brass Band.
247
00:15:50,251 --> 00:15:52,091
Vincent, what's happening, everybody?
248
00:15:52,531 --> 00:15:55,871
How does that feel to be a part of this world today?
249
00:15:56,011 --> 00:15:59,291
This is different from your world. No, this is actually my first time actually
250
00:15:59,291 --> 00:16:02,211
being able to experience a Comic-Con.
251
00:16:02,351 --> 00:16:04,711
So, like, it's a totally new experience.
252
00:16:05,231 --> 00:16:07,771
Man, it's fun because when it's your first Comic-Con, and Mike,
253
00:16:07,811 --> 00:16:11,291
I'm sure you can agree, it's always such a unique feeling the first time,
254
00:16:11,371 --> 00:16:15,531
right? Well, my first time was a long time ago, so I kind of don't remember.
255
00:16:15,771 --> 00:16:20,651
But yes, it's fun to see people who haven't been to a con and see it through
256
00:16:20,651 --> 00:16:24,751
their eyes for the first time, looking at all the cosplay and the costumes and
257
00:16:24,751 --> 00:16:29,651
all this fun stuff for sale. Fun stuff for sale. Fun stuff for sale.
258
00:16:29,951 --> 00:16:34,671
Now, let me ask you, we talked about this off mic, but until the audience knows, you're a big anime guy.
259
00:16:35,031 --> 00:16:37,011
Yes, I am. What are your favorite animes?
260
00:16:37,591 --> 00:16:43,751
Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo. more the older anime new stuff I really haven't
261
00:16:43,751 --> 00:16:46,751
gotten into because I just like the older stuff had like more resonance.
262
00:16:47,591 --> 00:16:50,391
More type of resonance for me so like yeah let
263
00:16:50,391 --> 00:16:53,111
me ask you Samurai Champloo what was the thing that
264
00:16:53,111 --> 00:16:58,591
really made you fall in love with it the hip hop the hip hop aspect the cuts
265
00:16:58,591 --> 00:17:04,091
and the tagging and the shows and like it's for me that's just the authenticity
266
00:17:04,091 --> 00:17:10,911
of it the way they meld it like it's kind of it's kind of easy to separate stuff But the way they blend,
267
00:17:11,051 --> 00:17:18,011
it's harder to blend to totally a Japanese culture with a hip-hop culture and make it seem natural.
268
00:17:19,710 --> 00:17:24,610
Absolutely. Yeah, it's like, it's cool to shit, I mean. You need to watch that, Mike.
269
00:17:25,290 --> 00:17:29,430
I will watch it, thank you. I mean, it's always great to see how much hip-hop
270
00:17:29,430 --> 00:17:34,150
influences other cultures and how it blends into everything.
271
00:17:34,430 --> 00:17:37,790
You know, it's so cool to see how far hip-hop has come.
272
00:17:38,190 --> 00:17:42,230
It's beyond music, right? It's ingrained in pop culture so much,
273
00:17:42,430 --> 00:17:45,390
so. I will. I hear that you're popular in Japan. Japan.
274
00:17:45,810 --> 00:17:49,770
Yes. My albums are the top in the top three in Japan.
275
00:17:50,210 --> 00:17:53,310
Yes. They're actually, if you go to tower records, which they would tie records
276
00:17:53,310 --> 00:17:56,650
to still around in Japan, you can go in and buy that. You can buy it.
277
00:17:57,710 --> 00:17:59,930
No, you can't. No, you can't. We have a disclaimer. You can't.
278
00:18:00,050 --> 00:18:02,450
All right. So let's go on. Let's go on this journey together.
279
00:18:02,510 --> 00:18:03,570
We've got some fun stuff planned.
280
00:18:04,090 --> 00:18:06,870
We're going to do some gunpla Mike. You don't know what that is,
281
00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:10,510
but you're going to find out as you do, right? Guns. Pla. Pla.
282
00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:15,590
Yes. And then we're going to hopefully interview some more artist and all that
283
00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:18,270
great stuff. So thank you for joining us. No problem.
284
00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:22,390
It's going to be such a fun experience and let's get this party started. Am I right? Who dat?
285
00:18:22,890 --> 00:18:26,050
All right. Uncle Dad here on the floor, live in the floor. It's busy.
286
00:18:26,110 --> 00:18:29,810
It's crazy. It's awesome. There's a line at the door for the one and only Jeff Brennan.
287
00:18:30,130 --> 00:18:33,210
Jeff Brennan, can you tell our audience who you are and what you've worked on? Okay.
288
00:18:33,290 --> 00:18:36,450
Well, I've worked on a bunch of stuff people would know. I've worked on Extreme
289
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:40,990
Ghostbusters, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Dragon Tales, Deathstroke Terminator,
290
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:47,910
The Expendables, Spider-Man cartoon, X-Men cartoon. Well, the animated commercials for those.
291
00:18:48,490 --> 00:18:53,450
Simpsons comic book. It goes on and on. You are a man with quite the resume, aren't you?
292
00:18:53,730 --> 00:18:57,370
So one of the things I want to ask you right away is Courage the Cowardly Dog.
293
00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:03,210
Was there a certain, what was the madness behind creating something that was
294
00:19:03,210 --> 00:19:06,270
terrifying, but yet lovable for children?
295
00:19:06,570 --> 00:19:09,970
Well, that was really John Dilworth's baby. You know what I I was just one of
296
00:19:09,970 --> 00:19:10,970
the people that helped out on it.
297
00:19:11,010 --> 00:19:15,050
He would give us what concepts he was looking for and we would design it based
298
00:19:15,050 --> 00:19:19,150
on his ideas and then he would kind of tweak it to make it fit within the show.
299
00:19:19,850 --> 00:19:23,150
Gotcha, gotcha. Was there ever a challenge meeting that? No,
300
00:19:23,190 --> 00:19:26,850
because a lot of times I would do stuff and it might not look exactly like it
301
00:19:26,850 --> 00:19:29,810
would fit into the show, but by the time he got his hands on it, it would kind of.
302
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:35,230
Mike, I know something caught your attention. Well, I'm a huge Ghostbusters
303
00:19:35,230 --> 00:19:39,910
fan and I see you worked on Extreme Ghostbusters. Were you a fan of the original?
304
00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:43,070
And did you watch the original The Real Ghostbusters cartoon?
305
00:19:43,750 --> 00:19:46,990
Honestly, I'm more a fan of the movies. I'm a big John Belushi.
306
00:19:46,990 --> 00:19:50,690
Well, John Belushi was supposed to be in it, but like Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray fan and stuff.
307
00:19:50,750 --> 00:19:53,470
So I was more from fan of the movies, actually.
308
00:19:53,550 --> 00:19:56,710
And when we first started working on Extreme Ghostbusters, we didn't have model
309
00:19:56,710 --> 00:19:59,850
sheets. So we did use the model sheets from Real Ghostbusters.
310
00:20:00,010 --> 00:20:03,830
So yeah, I wasn't really that familiar with the original cartoon. Yeah.
311
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:09,059
Interesting. So when you do all these different projects, is it always hard
312
00:20:09,059 --> 00:20:11,079
to transition from like one to the other?
313
00:20:11,859 --> 00:20:14,139
Yeah. I mean, they give you model sheets and stuff like that.
314
00:20:14,199 --> 00:20:16,899
Like you can see here, I have some model sheets. So every time you start a show,
315
00:20:16,959 --> 00:20:18,739
that's the first thing they do is they give you the model pack.
316
00:20:19,099 --> 00:20:21,919
Unless if it's something like Dragon Tales or Courage where we had to design
317
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:25,079
a lot of stuff first and then we couldn't really start till all the designs
318
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:26,179
were finalized, you know?
319
00:20:26,299 --> 00:20:29,019
So, yeah. Gotcha. So this is a model sheet right here.
320
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:34,139
Here actually has it. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. OK. And so this is what the the the animator
321
00:20:34,139 --> 00:20:35,899
would get to get the idea. Right. Yeah.
322
00:20:36,039 --> 00:20:39,999
Yeah. And like I said on this one, they gave us the one from real Ghostbusters
323
00:20:39,999 --> 00:20:42,339
because there wasn't a model sheet for extreme Ghostbusters yet.
324
00:20:42,559 --> 00:20:45,139
So we were kind of working from this in the beginning.
325
00:20:45,619 --> 00:20:49,559
That's incredible, Mike. So as an artist yourself, what is that like to see all that?
326
00:20:49,879 --> 00:20:55,919
I mean, it's cool because I love this. The original real Ghostbusters. We didn't have a VCR.
327
00:20:56,599 --> 00:21:00,199
I had a tape recorder and I would put the tape recorder next to the big TV.
328
00:21:00,679 --> 00:21:04,839
You know, those old wooden TVs that you'd put on the ground and I would record
329
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:07,839
the audio and then listen to the audio of the cartoon.
330
00:21:08,979 --> 00:21:13,799
And Starblazers, too. Really? Okay. Awesome. Awesome. Wow. Great minds think
331
00:21:13,799 --> 00:21:16,579
alike. Right. Exactly. Exactly. You guys are both legends. Wow.
332

So we're here mike at the gundam base mobile usa tour now this is going on tour
348
00:22:23,676 --> 00:22:27,396
all across the u.s it's actually a pretty big deal mike i know you're not really
349
00:22:27,396 --> 00:22:32,856
familiar with gunpla but it's okay and we're going to learn all about that give
350
00:22:32,856 --> 00:22:35,936
me one second here as we get our awesome goods here. Sweet.
351
00:22:36,376 --> 00:22:38,256
Love it. Okay.
352
00:22:39,376 --> 00:22:43,516
Okay. Awesome. Now, can I ask you... Am I able to ask you a question real quick? Is that okay?
353
00:22:44,256 --> 00:22:47,776
So, can you explain what... This gentleman here is learning about this.
354
00:22:47,936 --> 00:22:50,216
Can you explain to him what Gunpla is?
355
00:22:51,076 --> 00:22:55,916
So, Gunpla is going to be... It's a mashup of two words. It's a Gundam plastic model kit.
356
00:22:56,896 --> 00:23:00,616
So, yeah. It's just going to be a plastic model kit of a Gundam mobile suit.
357
00:23:01,136 --> 00:23:02,376
Do you know what Gundam is, Mike?
358
00:23:02,976 --> 00:23:05,776
I've heard of it. Can you tell them what Gundam Wing is, if you don't mind?
359
00:23:06,076 --> 00:23:10,516
So Gundam Wing was an anime series started in 1978, came out of Japan.
360
00:23:11,076 --> 00:23:15,996
And it's evolved into a bunch of different series that stream all over Crunchyroll,
361
00:23:16,076 --> 00:23:20,256
Hulu, all over YouTube, all kinds of stuff today. Look at that, Mike. You're learning.
362
00:23:20,756 --> 00:23:23,516
All right. So we're going to work on this. And if we have any questions,
363
00:23:23,676 --> 00:23:25,256
do we just reach out to you? OK.
364
00:23:26,196 --> 00:23:31,076
We've got nippers there for you to use, entry grade kit, two sets of runners, two stickers.
365
00:23:33,007 --> 00:23:38,987
Okay, have fun. All right, let's do this. Okay, we will check in with you guys in one moment.
366
00:23:39,627 --> 00:23:44,267
You know, I have a fun fact about Gundam. I actually went to the Gundam cafe in Japan.
367
00:23:44,887 --> 00:23:48,547
So, Mike, when you go into the bathroom, you push this special button after
368
00:23:48,547 --> 00:23:51,647
you've done your business, and it turns on the Gundam in the bathroom.
369
00:23:52,267 --> 00:23:57,427
What does that mean? Like you're in the cockpit of the Gundam after you potty.
370
00:23:58,087 --> 00:24:02,787
After you shit? After you shit. Have you ever done those cafes in Japan?
371
00:24:03,007 --> 00:24:06,107
Vincent no I have not got to because they'll
372
00:24:06,107 --> 00:24:10,367
change your life forever forever I've seen a DJ bar before but not no caffeine
373
00:24:10,367 --> 00:24:14,707
yeah you gotta check out the cafes let's check in with Callie because Callie's
374
00:24:14,707 --> 00:24:18,447
in the zone I'm in the zone yeah how many stickers you got on three or four
375
00:24:18,447 --> 00:24:25,487
I have one sticker one sticker one eye well it's really hard they're so little they are pretty little,
376
00:24:26,327 --> 00:24:31,087
so as we continue our journey through this I am kind of curious Mike do you
377
00:24:31,087 --> 00:24:34,927
find a sense of therapeutic quality of this? Yes.
378
00:24:35,827 --> 00:24:41,327
Excuse me. It allows me to just think of putting this together and forget about
379
00:24:41,327 --> 00:24:45,827
all my real life problems in the world. Oh, okay. Is there problems in New Orleans?
380
00:24:46,487 --> 00:24:48,847
Problems in the world. Why did I say New Orleans? I was like,
381
00:24:48,887 --> 00:24:51,867
oh man. I'm sure there are problems. There's lots of problems in New Orleans.
382
00:24:53,747 --> 00:24:56,747
Callie, since you are an artist as well, what is your take on all this?
383
00:24:57,347 --> 00:25:00,607
Oh, it's like a great puzzle. Is it more of a puzzle, you think?
384
00:25:00,787 --> 00:25:03,427
Yeah, it's just a little puzzle. Ah, I like that.
385
00:25:03,927 --> 00:25:06,407
I think it's a good way to look at it. It is like a puzzle. It's a puzzle.
386
00:25:06,747 --> 00:25:09,727
And then you're making a 3D model puzzle, right? Like, it's great.
387
00:25:10,387 --> 00:25:13,367
What I also love about this is seeing you guys all just get into it.
388
00:25:13,407 --> 00:25:15,627
It's so sweet. It's such a wholesome moment right now.
389
00:25:15,887 --> 00:25:19,267
We're all just, as humans, building robots.
390
00:25:20,047 --> 00:25:21,827
Think about that, Mike. We're building robots.
391
00:25:22,907 --> 00:25:27,047
Yes. I've always wanted to build a robot. Every day I wake up,
392
00:25:27,087 --> 00:25:28,607
I wonder when I'm going to build a robot.
393
00:25:28,607 --> 00:25:32,427
You know we should we should go ask your buddy eddie if he wants to make a robot
394
00:25:32,427 --> 00:25:37,047
yeah let's we should do we should have him at this table too as another celebrity

Slightly nervous. I remember my first time. Yeah. Were you nervous? I was pretty nervous.
411
00:27:02,853 --> 00:27:08,453
I saw a group of people outside the escape room and they were all wearing handcuffs.
412
00:27:08,733 --> 00:27:11,453
Yeah, we're not doing that one because we couldn't book it anymore.

433
00:28:21,973 --> 00:28:25,253

00:28:25,253 --> 00:28:27,953

435
00:28:27,953 --> 00:28:30,993

say hello hi it's just mike and guess what mike
438
00:28:36,673 --> 00:28:41,633
we just got done doing a very special unique experience with haunted hints and
439
00:28:41,633 --> 00:28:46,433
we are with the man behind the experience aj how are you good how are you guys
440
00:28:46,433 --> 00:28:52,273
terrified terrified really terrified because we couldn't figure it out i bet
441
00:28:52,273 --> 00:28:56,613
we have a hard Hard time with equations, I think, or questions. What do you think?
442
00:28:56,873 --> 00:28:59,633
Well, I think we had a hard time figuring out how to unlock a lock.
443
00:28:59,813 --> 00:29:01,853
Yes, we had a hard time with unlocking locks. That was our thing.
444
00:29:02,293 --> 00:29:05,433
But is that a common problem? Not really.
445
00:29:06,713 --> 00:29:09,193
Well, we got to get it together. Not surprised. Not surprised,
446
00:29:09,413 --> 00:29:14,013
yes. So, AJ, can you just tell us just a little bit about Haunted Hints and your involvement in it?
447
00:29:14,433 --> 00:29:17,913
Sure. Haunted Hints is a traveling escape room. We go to different conventions
448
00:29:17,913 --> 00:29:22,353
throughout the country. We also do special events. We go to some schools.
449
00:29:23,153 --> 00:29:31,433
We have also done some private events. We cater to spooky people or people that love spooky things.
450
00:29:31,633 --> 00:29:36,073
We are home of the 666 games, which means all of our games are played.
451
00:29:36,233 --> 00:29:39,833
They have six minutes to solve six puzzles and find six missing items.
452
00:29:40,975 --> 00:29:43,635
You know what? I don't even think I realized that until you just said that.
453
00:29:43,755 --> 00:29:45,135
That's very clever. What do you think, Mike?
454
00:29:45,575 --> 00:29:50,215
I think we don't realize a lot of things until later. I think that's a common thing.
455
00:29:50,395 --> 00:29:54,055
Well, I have to tell you, it's such a great, I've done a few of these traveling escape rooms.
456
00:29:54,275 --> 00:29:58,835
And what's really cool about this is that it feels very theatrical,
457
00:29:58,895 --> 00:30:02,815
but in a way that's simple and smart. Was that always the intention of that?
458
00:30:03,235 --> 00:30:05,975
Yeah, so actually Haunted Hints is a brand of Dulce Artworks,
459
00:30:06,015 --> 00:30:08,835
Inc., which is a nonprofit arts and entertainment organization. organization.
460
00:30:09,375 --> 00:30:13,115
My background's in theater and we also offer a theater arts academy.
461
00:30:13,555 --> 00:30:16,855
So that's kind of where that came from. I have a love for theater,
462
00:30:16,995 --> 00:30:20,695
a love for horror stuff. So that kind of, and I also do game hosting.
463
00:30:21,035 --> 00:30:23,875
So that's kind of where all of this came from. I love that.
464
00:30:23,935 --> 00:30:26,575
And I, you can see the passion in it when you're doing it. Like you can feel
465
00:30:26,575 --> 00:30:29,195
that it's not just a simple, Oh, Hey, come on in. That's it.
466
00:30:29,275 --> 00:30:32,715
Right. There's a whole level of theatrics too. And there should be, right.
467
00:30:32,915 --> 00:30:35,955
Cause there's so many people who do these, I believe. And I mean, we've, we've
468
00:30:35,955 --> 00:30:38,855

493
00:32:21,207 --> 00:32:26,807
so throughout the episode we've been fortunate enough to have one of the dopest
494
00:32:26,807 --> 00:32:29,027
saxophone players i've ever seen,
495
00:32:29,747 --> 00:32:35,047
vincent roussard from rebirth and it's just been a pleasure to to go to the
496
00:32:35,047 --> 00:32:39,667
con with you and you know i've seen you play a bunch of times and like and and
497
00:32:39,667 --> 00:32:45,487
and see the con through your eyes and and And being that it's in New Orleans,
498
00:32:45,747 --> 00:32:48,187
like, how do you feel?
499
00:32:48,287 --> 00:32:53,767
Like, is the Comic-Con something that you feel like fits into New Orleans?
500
00:32:54,147 --> 00:32:59,767
Or, like, how does that feel for you? Because, I mean, you're of New Orleans, right?
501
00:33:00,267 --> 00:33:02,747
So, like, what's it like to be at a con in New Orleans?
502
00:33:04,247 --> 00:33:12,447
It's, let me see. It's cool. It's like, because, I mean, let's say I live down there.
503
00:33:12,447 --> 00:33:16,287
For the most part of my life I lived in New Orleans and
504
00:33:16,287 --> 00:33:19,007
I mean like I'm just getting the
505
00:33:19,007 --> 00:33:21,787
point of my life where it's like I live I stay down there
506
00:33:21,787 --> 00:33:24,947
I did Mardi Gras to Mardi Gras jazz
507
00:33:24,947 --> 00:33:31,227
and everything starts starts turning just blah because you just get used to
508
00:33:31,227 --> 00:33:37,087
shit so like when something like that comes down there it actually allows it
509
00:33:37,087 --> 00:33:41,827
actually allows because I mean yeah not Not everybody down here just likes to
510
00:33:41,827 --> 00:33:43,687
party and drink and smoke all day.
511
00:33:43,807 --> 00:33:46,447
You got different types of people down there.
512
00:33:46,887 --> 00:33:51,287
And it just allows a different outlet a lot of times for people that's just
513
00:33:51,287 --> 00:33:54,727
used to living to a regular mundane life sometimes.
514
00:33:55,847 --> 00:34:00,267
Yeah, like, you know, from the outside, like, you see Jazz Fest,
515
00:34:00,627 --> 00:34:03,587
French Quarter Fest, Crawfish Festival, the Fried Chicken Festival.
516
00:34:03,627 --> 00:34:07,647
And you're like, oh, man, I'm, like, I get so stoked to come down here.
517
00:34:07,647 --> 00:34:10,727
Because you know my my roots are from here but i've lived in california most
518
00:34:10,727 --> 00:34:13,747
of my life so for me to see all that stuff i get so excited
519
00:34:13,747 --> 00:34:17,347
but i can see when you're here it's always that like
520
00:34:17,347 --> 00:34:22,707
it's it's that all the time right yeah exactly it's the same i like to last
521
00:34:22,707 --> 00:34:28,307
year you'll see it's the same same shit different day yeah yeah okay and so
522
00:34:28,307 --> 00:34:32,487
so let's talk about so you're in you're in your part of rebirth brass band which
523
00:34:32,487 --> 00:34:36,007
is like you know obviously We've said many times, you're a Grammy.
524
00:34:36,127 --> 00:34:37,187
We just like to throw that out there.
525
00:34:39,967 --> 00:34:45,087
When and how did you become part of that band? How?
526
00:34:46,207 --> 00:34:51,527
Let's see. At the time, I was playing with the Little Rascals brass band.
527
00:34:51,887 --> 00:34:56,847
And the snare drummer from the Little Rascals, he switched him into the Rebirth.
528
00:34:56,967 --> 00:34:59,427
And the saxophone player with
529
00:34:59,427 --> 00:35:03,287
the Rebirth decided he didn't want to play anymore and moved to Slidell.
530
00:35:03,827 --> 00:35:07,907
So it was like, where can we find another saxophone player? They tried another cat out.
531
00:35:08,007 --> 00:35:11,647
He didn't work. and eventually they called
532
00:35:11,647 --> 00:35:14,467
me up into that spot like it's
533
00:35:14,467 --> 00:35:17,047
kind of like i mean i'm gonna say like a lot of
534
00:35:17,047 --> 00:35:19,787
times with sax players he's not really
535
00:35:19,787 --> 00:35:26,627
chosen you uh you you're needed so like he just they needed a saxophone player
536
00:35:26,627 --> 00:35:30,427
and he just called me into that spot and i've been rolling rolling with him
537
00:35:30,427 --> 00:35:37,827
ever since at least at the moment so like how how many how many years has it been.
538
00:35:38,587 --> 00:35:40,587
Too long. Too long. Yes.
539
00:35:40,907 --> 00:35:45,347
I'd say year-wise, it's probably about 27 years.
540
00:35:45,927 --> 00:35:56,747
27? Really? And so you've seen many iterations of the band, at least five different iterations.
541
00:35:57,327 --> 00:36:02,227
Yeah, you see guys come and go. But no matter what, there's the rebirth sound
542
00:36:02,227 --> 00:36:07,687
that is strictly to y'all that is different than any other band.
543
00:36:07,827 --> 00:36:14,967
Brass band, right? Overall it is, but I guess what people don't really realize
544
00:36:14,967 --> 00:36:21,727
about a live band is the sound of the band is made up upon the players in the band.
545
00:36:22,067 --> 00:36:26,687
So the sound may change with the different iterations,
546
00:36:26,887 --> 00:36:30,207
but as long as the people playing the
547
00:36:30,207 --> 00:36:33,467
instruments actually try and
548
00:36:33,467 --> 00:36:37,067
adhere hear to what the rebirth
549
00:36:37,067 --> 00:36:40,067
sound is quote quote then it
550
00:36:40,067 --> 00:36:43,447
sounds yeah it keeps it going yeah because it
551
00:36:43,447 --> 00:36:47,087
is such a specific sound like you know i'll have spotify
552
00:36:47,087 --> 00:36:50,667
or whatever new orleans second line or jazz
553
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:53,967
brass bands and when when a rebirth
554
00:36:53,967 --> 00:36:56,787
song comes on you can hear it right away that it's that it's rebirth
555
00:36:56,787 --> 00:36:59,947
and it just has that swing that you know
556
00:36:59,947 --> 00:37:03,367
other other brass bands don't have and so were
557
00:37:03,367 --> 00:37:07,207
you like like were you influenced like
558
00:37:07,207 --> 00:37:11,487
who were you influenced by mostly like growing up and like how what made you
559
00:37:11,487 --> 00:37:15,567
pick up a saxophone to start playing like how did how did that how did music
560
00:37:15,567 --> 00:37:21,427
find you how did music find me I just I was born that way like when I started
561
00:37:21,427 --> 00:37:23,707
off I started playing piano but.
562
00:37:25,024 --> 00:37:29,724
I can recall as a child, when I would listen to any type of music in the car,
563
00:37:29,844 --> 00:37:34,664
in the house, I would pay more attention to the background shit.
564
00:37:35,064 --> 00:37:38,524
The background, what's going on in the background of the music more than the foreground.
565
00:37:39,144 --> 00:37:43,224
So, like, that's how I always heard music.
566
00:37:43,624 --> 00:37:47,124
I remember, like, at times when I first started playing on stages,
567
00:37:47,124 --> 00:37:54,824
I was more engaged into wondering how they routed the sounds coming from the
568
00:37:54,824 --> 00:37:57,564
stage monitors, more than me playing my horn into the mic.
569
00:37:57,944 --> 00:38:01,844
So it was always like a back-end thing for me. It's like I always,
570
00:38:01,864 --> 00:38:10,144
as a child, I've always been real inquisitive when it came to how to do things.
571
00:38:10,404 --> 00:38:14,564
I love watching how people build houses.
572
00:38:14,564 --> 00:38:21,444
Is not really the action of doing it It's a preparation behind That action Of
573
00:38:21,444 --> 00:38:30,724
actually doing it Yeah so like I'm like I am that's why I also Rebirth I got
574
00:38:30,724 --> 00:38:34,064
my own stuff Going on produce Mix master.
575
00:38:35,144 --> 00:38:37,884
And I'm working on a project right now On my
576
00:38:37,884 --> 00:38:40,904
own I actually have like three projects in
577
00:38:40,904 --> 00:38:43,764
the hole right now That I'm trying to pop out
578
00:38:43,764 --> 00:38:47,904
takes time because when you do everything yourself it's
579
00:38:47,904 --> 00:38:51,024
a lot longer than doing label you got somebody
580
00:38:51,024 --> 00:38:56,024
else doing different things for you but but i don't mind that because music
581
00:38:56,024 --> 00:39:00,724
is a part of my anatomy i guess you could say yeah i would say so like okay
582
00:39:00,724 --> 00:39:04,624
so when you when you're playing reverse those those songs are those songs are
583
00:39:04,624 --> 00:39:08,164
already written and so you're just Just, you know, interpreting.
584
00:39:08,744 --> 00:39:14,244
I'm constantly, it's kind of like, all right, this is the thing about it.
585
00:39:14,984 --> 00:39:19,544
Rebirth. Every time we could play, let's say you take, I feel like funking it up.
586
00:39:20,478 --> 00:39:25,098
With any live band, right? But a lot of bands, every time they play.
587
00:39:26,898 --> 00:39:29,018
Let's say another band tries to play, they feel like fucking up,
588
00:39:29,038 --> 00:39:30,538
they try to play it the same way every time.
589
00:39:30,738 --> 00:39:36,318
When we play it, it's a different song every time, depending upon how I feel.
590
00:39:36,358 --> 00:39:41,478
I'm feeling at the time how the trombone player, the trombone player may be depressed.
591
00:39:41,978 --> 00:39:45,598
I may be up. Trombone players may not even feel like playing their damn horns.
592
00:39:46,298 --> 00:39:49,578
So when we play it, it's the same notes, but
593
00:39:49,578 --> 00:39:52,658
the but the emotions the emotion
594
00:39:52,658 --> 00:39:55,698
going into that action is different so
595
00:39:55,698 --> 00:39:58,398
it's like that's why like they say
596
00:39:58,398 --> 00:40:01,718
all the time at the show every rebirth show
597
00:40:01,718 --> 00:40:04,758
is a different show yeah and like that's that's kind
598
00:40:04,758 --> 00:40:07,478
of like new orleans jazz in in
599
00:40:07,478 --> 00:40:13,598
general right it's it's it's open there's the swing to it there's there's there's
600
00:40:13,598 --> 00:40:18,038
the structure you know which was which makes it different than jazz from other
601
00:40:18,038 --> 00:40:22,078
places you know like chicago jazz new york jazz it's very structured very syncopated
602
00:40:22,078 --> 00:40:26,998
it is what it is and you know you're going to hear the same thing over new orleans.
603
00:40:27,998 --> 00:40:30,638
It's yeah i say like i like to
604
00:40:30,638 --> 00:40:33,478
say i gotta sing when it comes to rebirth rebirth is like a box of
605
00:40:33,478 --> 00:40:36,358
chocolates you never know what you're going to get and i love
606
00:40:36,358 --> 00:40:39,418
it and and that's part of what you know make what makes
607
00:40:39,418 --> 00:40:43,158
new orleans so great so so each time you play you have
608
00:40:43,158 --> 00:40:45,978
you have the song but you you are able to put your own
609
00:40:45,978 --> 00:40:48,658
part into it i mean i might i
610
00:40:48,658 --> 00:40:51,478
might stick to the original part i
611
00:40:51,478 --> 00:40:54,338
might add a little on the part i might
612
00:40:54,338 --> 00:40:57,878
choose to even flip the part but that's
613
00:40:57,878 --> 00:41:01,598
all that is like dependent upon like depending
614
00:41:01,598 --> 00:41:04,758
upon how i'm feeling at that time if if
615
00:41:04,758 --> 00:41:07,438
if the drums are grooving a different way on it and i don't feel
616
00:41:07,438 --> 00:41:10,218
it if it's a straight line and the drums are
617
00:41:10,218 --> 00:41:14,078
flipping the groove on it then i might flip that line on that
618
00:41:14,078 --> 00:41:17,878
part at that point in time but the overall
619
00:41:17,878 --> 00:41:21,238
the big picture of it it's still it's still
620
00:41:21,238 --> 00:41:26,838
what it is yeah as a spectator it's so fun to to see you guys at different shows
621
00:41:26,838 --> 00:41:32,358
and to see how how it comes out different like we we saw you a couple months
622
00:41:32,358 --> 00:41:37,158
ago in san francisco and i gotta say i don't know how you guys felt but as a
623
00:41:37,158 --> 00:41:40,078
spectator I felt like that was one of the best shows I've seen you guys do.
624
00:41:40,198 --> 00:41:40,938
You're at the Independent.
625
00:41:41,098 --> 00:41:43,638
It was the second night you guys...
626
00:41:44,938 --> 00:41:49,078
Being there sold out and, and you guys killed it. And it's just so fun.
627
00:41:49,138 --> 00:41:50,578
And you guys look like you're having fun.
628
00:41:51,218 --> 00:41:55,818
You know, you can watch you guys communicating, laughing at each other.
629
00:41:56,378 --> 00:42:00,138
And yeah, it's just so great. It's great to see. And, and so,
630
00:42:00,138 --> 00:42:02,138
so tell me real quick. Okay. So that's Rebirth.
631
00:42:02,298 --> 00:42:04,998
What's the stuff that you're doing? That's your own, you know,
632
00:42:04,998 --> 00:42:09,038
like, and is that something that's going to come out for people to hear or tell
633
00:42:09,038 --> 00:42:10,458
me a little bit about that. All right.
634
00:42:10,498 --> 00:42:15,778
As far as my own stuff, my own silo hustle, I'm going to call it a hustle because
635
00:42:15,778 --> 00:42:17,598
I'm not making money off it. So it's not a hustle.
636
00:42:18,458 --> 00:42:26,738
But I go under slow drag productions and I have basically what happened is when
637
00:42:26,738 --> 00:42:31,258
the pandemic hit, I had time on my hands because we couldn't gig.
638
00:42:31,258 --> 00:42:37,318
Gig so i just went back through i had like buku buku is french that's how we
639
00:42:37,318 --> 00:42:43,518
talk down there buku it means a lot wait buku is french yeah yeah but like i
640
00:42:43,518 --> 00:42:48,718
had like buku just old tracks that i did from way back in the day but they were
641
00:42:48,718 --> 00:42:51,038
all stereo tracks i just went to retract and everything,
642
00:42:51,598 --> 00:42:56,658
and it got to a point this this one project i did a long time ago that i lost
643
00:42:56,658 --> 00:43:01,858
all my sessions to So I just went Instead of me putting out some new shit And
644
00:43:01,858 --> 00:43:07,678
let the old stuff sit I just went back to the old stuff And just retweaked it all,
645
00:43:08,238 --> 00:43:12,318
And just Basically I remixed my old stuff And it's like.
646
00:43:13,658 --> 00:43:19,158
It's kind of like I felt like I had It's like an open relationship,
647
00:43:19,738 --> 00:43:25,018
I need to close this relationship first For my old stuff If I can actually move
648
00:43:25,018 --> 00:43:29,618
on To my new stuff and it's just it's a lot of different,
649
00:43:30,298 --> 00:43:37,298
things going on with it and I'm pushing to put it out whenever it gets ready
650
00:43:37,298 --> 00:43:40,978
to come out so it'll come, it'll come when it's ready to come yeah yeah yeah
651
00:43:40,978 --> 00:43:44,978
definitely that's usually how it works right when it's ready to come it'll come.
652
00:43:47,138 --> 00:43:51,358
Alright so Mardi Gras is about to come up, we'll wrap up here Mardi Gras is
653
00:43:51,358 --> 00:43:53,038
about to come up you've been down in New Orleans,
654
00:43:53,598 --> 00:43:56,598
you've done Mardi Gras after Mardi Gras do you still
655
00:43:56,598 --> 00:43:59,918
get excited for that or are you just like here we
656
00:43:59,918 --> 00:44:03,738
go all the tourists all the people you
657
00:44:03,738 --> 00:44:06,438

658
00:44:06,438 --> 00:44:10,258
mess everyone's getting messed up fucked up or
659
00:44:10,258 --> 00:44:13,438
do you still have like the excitement for for
660
00:44:13,438 --> 00:44:20,278
carnival uh carnival it's like a mixed bag for me is carnival is like it's just
661
00:44:20,278 --> 00:44:24,378
another year the same thing the only thing really gets me that I never really
662
00:44:24,378 --> 00:44:28,938
liked about Carnival Is you got An extra addition To the population down there
663
00:44:28,938 --> 00:44:32,838
So if you do If we did have a player gig It went Instead of me having to part,
664
00:44:33,418 --> 00:44:36,438
Five minutes from a gig I got to part Fifteen minutes from a gig.
665
00:44:38,055 --> 00:44:41,615
But, I mean, it's just, I mean, carnival, I just, I never really,
666
00:44:41,735 --> 00:44:45,195
at this point in time in my life, I could really care less about a parade.
667
00:44:46,335 --> 00:44:49,575
But for the people who want to come down, come on down and enjoy yourselves.
668
00:44:50,035 --> 00:44:51,755
I mean, hey, hey, it's all good.
669
00:44:52,515 --> 00:44:55,815
It's all good. You've seen many parades. Yeah. And so that's the thing.
670
00:44:55,875 --> 00:44:58,515
Like, I remember parades from my childhood.
671
00:44:58,655 --> 00:45:02,635
And so when I come down here, I get excited because it's this very nostalgic
672
00:45:02,635 --> 00:45:05,715
thing that I remember when I first moved away from Louisiana,
673
00:45:05,775 --> 00:45:06,735
I moved to South Carolina.
674
00:45:07,475 --> 00:45:10,515
And when Mardi Gras time came, there was no King Cakes in the store.
675
00:45:10,815 --> 00:45:14,995
There was no, like there was nothing. And I could not comprehend that there
676
00:45:14,995 --> 00:45:17,495
was not a Mardi Gras at all.
677
00:45:17,575 --> 00:45:19,795
You know, and I grew up mostly in Lafayette, right?
678
00:45:19,895 --> 00:45:26,575
So to come down here and experience it when you don't have it, it's so exciting.
679
00:45:26,695 --> 00:45:33,595
But I could see year after year, you being here, like the majesticness of it
680
00:45:33,595 --> 00:45:34,875
kind of wears away, right?
681
00:45:35,155 --> 00:45:38,315
Yes, it does. i mean but i'm just
682
00:45:38,315 --> 00:45:42,115

00:45:54,575 --> 00:45:58,355
let's see we have a standing tuesday night.
686
00:45:59,332 --> 00:46:04,112
Every day of the year in the city of New Orleans at a spot called the Rabbit
687
00:46:04,112 --> 00:46:07,172
Hole, right on the wreath of Castle Haley.
688
00:46:07,392 --> 00:46:12,292
I mean, the only time we're not going to be there is if we're on the road on
689
00:46:12,292 --> 00:46:14,872
a Tuesday. But if we're in town on a Tuesday, we're going to be there.
690
00:46:15,252 --> 00:46:18,012
From time to time, you can catch us at like a House of Blues,
691
00:46:18,332 --> 00:46:19,692
Tipitina's, Holland Wolf.
692
00:46:20,892 --> 00:46:24,572
Hell, you might be able to catch us at a Bart Mitzvah, a wedding reception if
693
00:46:24,572 --> 00:46:26,212
the money get bad enough.
694
00:46:27,232 --> 00:46:31,092
An inauguration, maybe? Maybe an inauguration, too.
695
00:46:33,812 --> 00:46:37,492
Other than that, just out of town, just check the website out,
696
00:46:37,552 --> 00:46:41,112
rebertbrassband.com, and we travel all around the country.
697
00:46:41,672 --> 00:46:47,412
From time to time, we actually get out of the country, too. So just pay attention,
698
00:46:47,672 --> 00:46:48,772
pay attention, pay attention.
699
00:46:49,192 --> 00:46:51,292
You keep your passport up to date, right?
700
00:46:51,932 --> 00:46:54,612
Actually, my passport is expired right now. Uh-oh, uh-oh.
701
00:46:55,812 --> 00:47:00,592
Well, yes. Actually, I need to get a new passport right now.
702
00:47:00,652 --> 00:47:03,512
There you go. I'm going out of town right now, so I really need it right now.
703
00:47:04,612 --> 00:47:08,392
Well, like I mentioned, we saw you guys at the Independent in San Francisco.
704
00:47:08,432 --> 00:47:09,412
Yeah, you guys get around.
705
00:47:10,812 --> 00:47:14,872
And, man, I just love to see you being successful.
706
00:47:15,212 --> 00:47:20,712
And you're a champion for rolling with us today and doing all the things.
707
00:47:20,952 --> 00:47:27,852
And it's an honor to be friends with you. and I appreciate all the,
708
00:47:27,852 --> 00:47:30,192
all of you that you extend out.
709
00:47:30,432 --> 00:47:35,752
And we- I like to believe that moments lead to experiences.
710
00:47:36,012 --> 00:47:40,112
And if you don't take the time out to actually appreciate the moment in that
711
00:47:40,112 --> 00:47:44,112
given point in time, then you miss a whole, you miss a whole end game of it all.
712
00:47:44,272 --> 00:47:49,132
So I appreciate y'all for, I appreciate y'all for inviting me out and allowing
713
00:47:49,132 --> 00:47:50,752
me to hang out with y'all. I really do.
714
00:47:51,352 --> 00:47:53,372
There it is. Very sweet.
715
00:47:54,895 --> 00:47:57,935
And then I think Uncle Dye wants to say something. He is over here.
716
00:47:59,175 --> 00:48:00,755
Now you don't want to talk. Now you don't want to talk.
717
00:48:02,055 --> 00:48:06,595
So we talked a little bit about Samurai Champloo, and you talked about the hip-hop influences.
718
00:48:07,175 --> 00:48:10,995
So what I want to know, what are your top three hip-hop artists?
719
00:48:11,755 --> 00:48:13,795
Top three? Oh, all right.
720
00:48:14,775 --> 00:48:18,275
All right. I can't say any of them. Hip-hop. Hip-hop. Hip-hop.
721
00:48:19,095 --> 00:48:23,495
All right. I'm going to go with Tupac. And with some Southern stuff,
722
00:48:23,495 --> 00:48:27,895
yourself yeah i'd be like a skull face uh i
723
00:48:27,895 --> 00:48:31,895
say east coast one more
724
00:48:31,895 --> 00:48:34,955
all right i did use my two already all right what's my
725
00:48:34,955 --> 00:48:43,835
third my third would be pocket nas yeah honestly i think nas in my opinion is
726
00:48:43,835 --> 00:48:47,895
i know he goes through a lot of bad rap nowadays but i feel like he was seriously
727
00:48:47,895 --> 00:48:52,295
when he was coming up he was one of the best rappers period he was on it 100
728
00:48:52,295 --> 00:48:54,815
illmatic is It's one of the greatest albums ever.
729
00:48:55,355 --> 00:48:56,975
Now, what is your favorite Nas song?
730
00:48:58,675 --> 00:49:02,575
The World is Yours. You can't go wrong with that song. You really can't.
731
00:49:02,755 --> 00:49:06,455
And Mike, I just want to have you chime in. Your favorite Nas song.
732
00:49:08,295 --> 00:49:11,675
I don't remember the name of it, but it's the one where he says,
733
00:49:11,755 --> 00:49:14,175
I'll never sleep, because sleep is the cousin of death.
734
00:49:14,795 --> 00:49:21,275
That beat is so hard, and the way that he comes in it, it's so hard.
735
00:49:21,275 --> 00:49:23,615
And you know, he just released a new album.
736
00:49:24,055 --> 00:49:26,295
Really? Nas did, yeah, we listened to it.
737
00:49:27,135 --> 00:49:31,955
He opens up the first song talking about being in his 40s and feeling like he's
738
00:49:31,955 --> 00:49:33,955
the Dalai Lama or some shit.
739
00:49:34,135 --> 00:49:39,175
But you know, here's the thing. So like Outkast, Outkast, hands down, is my favorite.
740
00:49:40,075 --> 00:49:41,675
Outkast is my favorite and...
741
00:49:43,039 --> 00:49:48,539
I'm sad because Andre 3000 said he doesn't rap because he has nothing to talk about.
742
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:53,899
But I would love to hear his perspective at this point in his life,
743
00:49:54,479 --> 00:49:59,999
watching all that's changed and just who he is as a creative person to hear him flow now.
744
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:03,539
Because it was cool hearing Nas, like Nas now, he's old, older,
745
00:50:04,159 --> 00:50:06,179
talk about what it's like.
746
00:50:06,599 --> 00:50:11,519
And I feel like Andre is such a creative genius. I would love to hear him.
747
00:50:11,519 --> 00:50:13,659
I think with Three Stacks, it's more that.
748
00:50:15,939 --> 00:50:19,659
Three Stacks is like, it's kind of like looking at a prince.
749
00:50:20,819 --> 00:50:24,879
It's like, if you're so ahead of your time with what's going on,
750
00:50:25,519 --> 00:50:30,619
he's just not really doing anything now, MC-wise, because it's like,
751
00:50:31,399 --> 00:50:35,739
when he says, like, I don't have anything to say, it's not that he can't write.
752
00:50:36,139 --> 00:50:39,259
He can write anytime he wants. that's that's he's
753
00:50:39,259 --> 00:50:42,639
just it's not like it's more like he's choosing
754
00:50:42,639 --> 00:50:46,019
not to write and he's choosing not to rap because he
755
00:50:46,019 --> 00:50:49,239
wants to try something else here so it's it's me
756
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:54,739
i like i listen to the last i love it i love that the flute album yeah i love
757
00:50:54,739 --> 00:51:01,679
that like yeah when i want to go to sleep i put on the first one by the time
758
00:51:01,679 --> 00:51:06,599
the second one come on i'm out i mean like i'm just listening to to everything in my sleep.
759
00:51:06,859 --> 00:51:09,239
And like, it was like, it was like, sometimes it's a choice.
760
00:51:09,319 --> 00:51:11,219
And like, he's, it's like,
761
00:51:13,879 --> 00:51:17,159
like as an artist, it gets to a point in the artist's life where it's like,
762
00:51:17,579 --> 00:51:24,039
am I going to choose to do what other people want me to do? Or am I going to do what I choose to do?
763
00:51:25,098 --> 00:51:29,138
And besides, Three Stacks, he has enough music for everybody in the world.
764
00:51:29,658 --> 00:51:31,638
He really doesn't need to do anything else.
765
00:51:32,318 --> 00:51:36,158
I love that you're saying that because there's an artist that I want to compare it to.
766
00:51:36,678 --> 00:51:39,598
So I'm a huge fan of Daft Punk. We all know Daft Punk.
767
00:51:40,038 --> 00:51:43,198
And Daft Punk, they broke up a while ago because they're not going to do music together.
768
00:51:43,538 --> 00:51:48,818
Well, instead of Thomas Fang altering One and a Half, he didn't want to make another DJ album.
769
00:51:49,098 --> 00:51:53,978
So he made an entire old school orchestrated, like an orchestra album.
770
00:51:53,978 --> 00:51:56,978
Them and it's incredible but the thing is
771
00:51:56,978 --> 00:51:59,958
it's kind of your point he feels like he can't dj
772
00:51:59,958 --> 00:52:03,078
about he can't make anything new for djing because
773
00:52:03,078 --> 00:52:06,038
it's like what else can you do right and it's
774
00:52:06,038 --> 00:52:10,418
the same thing with the concept of andre 2000 it's like he kind of has a good
775
00:52:10,418 --> 00:52:15,118
point like he has so much out there already why not create a new sound that
776
00:52:15,118 --> 00:52:18,518
can create even a new audience of people right like it's it's kind of genius
777
00:52:18,518 --> 00:52:21,978
in some respects it's kind of like i like to say that once i've I've seen it
778
00:52:21,978 --> 00:52:23,198
up right this many places.
779
00:52:23,378 --> 00:52:27,398
It's like the purpose of an artist is to inspire.
780
00:52:28,218 --> 00:52:32,598
And then if you're an artist and it may be a, I told you, I told you,
781
00:52:32,618 --> 00:52:35,258
I was telling you this earlier at the table.
782
00:52:35,778 --> 00:52:40,738
It was like, if you produce, if you, you could be an MC, musician,
783
00:52:40,978 --> 00:52:42,938
you could be a graphic artist, whatever it is.
784
00:52:43,438 --> 00:52:49,878
That product that you make as an artist is not the output. It's the input. It's like.
785
00:52:50,889 --> 00:52:54,689
It's the fans, the people that choose to accept it. That's the output.
786
00:52:55,749 --> 00:53:00,249
You had to say it in a totally different way. I told you. I told you a different way.
787
00:53:00,829 --> 00:53:05,429
It's not the artist that makes the art. It's the person that sees that product and calls it art.
788
00:53:06,149 --> 00:53:09,529
So, I mean, like once you put it out into the world, you have no control of it.
789
00:53:10,009 --> 00:53:12,889
It's kind of like a child. You have a child. Once a child is born,
790
00:53:13,089 --> 00:53:17,809
yeah, you can control that child to a certain point, but once you get to a certain point, he gone.
791
00:53:17,809 --> 00:53:20,689
On you could try and steer him
792
00:53:20,689 --> 00:53:23,509
where where if you think it's better for him but if
793
00:53:23,509 --> 00:53:26,229
he sees somewhere better to go off of your
794
00:53:26,229 --> 00:53:29,849
away from you for you saying that's what
795
00:53:29,849 --> 00:53:33,329
he's going to do you can't control it like being able to understand in life
796
00:53:33,329 --> 00:53:36,749
that you can't control everything and everything gets to a point where you can't
797
00:53:36,749 --> 00:53:41,689
control it anymore and like you just gotta put it out there and hope it hope
798
00:53:41,689 --> 00:53:46,589
it goes where it needs to go and it's a great way to end this because it is
799
00:53:46,589 --> 00:53:49,629
about where it goes, right? So, Mike, great job. High five.
800
00:53:52,109 --> 00:53:55,349
Thank you so much, Vincent, for being a part of the show. We really appreciate it.
801
00:53:55,609 --> 00:53:59,169
And, Mike, you have something to say. I have one last question, Vincent, is,
802
00:53:59,369 --> 00:54:06,869
Will, what would it take to infiltrate you to convince Rebirth to do a cover
803
00:54:06,869 --> 00:54:11,589
of, speaking of OutKast, of Spidey, Adi, Dope, and Locious?
804
00:54:12,449 --> 00:54:16,829
Spidey? Yeah. I know everyone on Frenchman Street covers it all the time,
805
00:54:16,889 --> 00:54:20,569
but what about a Rebirth cover? A whole lot.
806
00:54:23,909 --> 00:54:27,729
I love that. I love that shit. It's one of my top three favorite songs.
807
00:54:28,489 --> 00:54:34,729
Well, if there's ever an opportunity, let me know, and I'll put some extra dough
808
00:54:34,729 --> 00:54:37,709
in the tip jar. I got you. I got you.
809
00:54:38,949 --> 00:54:42,149
Vincent, thanks so much. Thank you again. And you know what I'm going to do?
810
00:54:42,149 --> 00:54:44,449
We're going to hear that song right now.
811
00:54:44,689 --> 00:54:47,729
All right, everybody. Have a great night. Thank you, Vincent. Peace.
812
00:54:50,000 --> 00:55:08,293
Music.
