It's Everyday with John and Jay

Episode 196: From Losing A Cat To Launching A Store: Resilience, Rivalries, And Real Talk

John and Jay Episode 196

A week can break your heart and still make you smile. We said goodbye to a beloved cat and then turned around to DJ two wildly different weddings—one set against the fall colors of Hocking Hills, the other a Halloween celebration with killer decor and big energy. That emotional whiplash opened a bigger conversation about how we carry grief while pushing a dream forward.

On the business side, we get candid about lease limbo, letters of intent, and how not having an address stalls everything from insurance to internet. We unpack cash flow, the value of a nest egg, and why reinvestment beats impulse spending. Then we walk into the heat with a neighboring collectible shop worried about “competition.” We make the case for collaboration—shared audiences, event synergy, and mutual traffic—and choose the high road: no trash talk, just consistent value and open invitations to work together.

Music ties it all together. We trade gritty recs—Thousand Foot Krutch, Icebrecher, Cage Fight, I Prevail, and even a curveball from Limp Bizkit—and talk about why a massive chorus or a savage breakdown can reset your week. We also preview original tracks: one with cathedral-sized choral power and Nordic vibes, another a dark waltz about a ballerina trapped in a music box. Plus a storytelling concept built as a duet of conflicting testimonies—two voices, one event, and a truth somewhere in the middle.

If you’re here for real life—heartache, hustle, heavy riffs, and the messy middle of building something—this one’s for you.

SPEAKER_07:

You're in the right fucking place! Listen up, you fucking freaks! It is time to get the show on the road. We're ready to hit this episode of It's Every Day with Jonathan and Jay. Let's rock.

SPEAKER_01:

Hi.

SPEAKER_07:

Welcome to another episode. I'm sorry I'm sick today.

SPEAKER_04:

Another episode of Jay is dying.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, it's back in the day with Hospital Jay. Yeah, welcome to the show, guys. Every day.

SPEAKER_04:

One more episode. We are here.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, yeah, it's not back in the day. God damn, dude. I'm off, dude. It's been like fucking 30 years ago.

SPEAKER_04:

You're way off.

SPEAKER_07:

You're way off. Every day, dude. You got set back. I've had a lot of fucking shit happen this week. So just there's a lot to discuss.

SPEAKER_04:

Let's get right into it. What you got?

SPEAKER_07:

Oh, okay. Well, my kitty passed away. My other one.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh. That sucks. It's crap. You had to go through not only you had to go through that once, you have to go through that twice within a span of several weeks.

SPEAKER_07:

Yeah, I'm sorry, but we have so many animals in our house, we'd be playing Sarah McLachlan every two seconds. Yeah, dude, just ready to go. But no, yeah, unfortunately, our little Zobug went to heaven the other day. Um, she was she was an amazing cat. She's very loving, very sweet, and like no joke, without her and Ernie, it's been it's been an empty, like it's just an empty field.

SPEAKER_04:

You just have the calico left, right? The calico and the dog. How old's the calico?

SPEAKER_07:

Calico's 11. She's old too. Yeah, damn, dude. But you know, like I was telling Sarah, I said Zoe was found. I found her when I was looking at DJ equipment back in like 2011, 2012, somewhere around there. I was looking at DJ equipment um behind the funeral home by Columbian. And um I was, you know, this little black cat came up, started rubbing my leg, and I'm like, ah, you know, we already got a cat. I can't take this one because we had earning at the time, and we're living on Walker. And the lady goes, Listen, if you do not take this cat, she will probably die. People fly down this alley, and she's owned by the people that live across the way, and she's an outside cat, and they don't give a shit about her. And I'm like, fuck. Called Sarah, said, Hey, do you want another cat? She's like, Oh, yeah. Uh yeah. Yeah, that didn't take very much talking to her. Not a lot of coaxing. I brought her home. She wrote on my shoulder all the way home. Um, and uh, no joke, when she was there, Ernie at first, Ernie would stay under the couch, he would hide, he wouldn't come out when she was like when we first brought her home. And uh that cat as a kitten could sleep through anything. I'm not kidding, dude. You could be as loud as you want. That cat would just lay there and sleep, didn't give a shit. Um, but she's had kidney and in uh kidney issues and shit, so it was just a matter of time. And I think after Ernie passed away, she just kind of shut down, she gave up, she was in depression. She just it was the end, and she knew it. And um, I'm glad we all get to surround her when she took her final moments. So uh but we had to put her down because there was no quality of life left, she was just done. That's sad. It is, and it sucks to happen to be like that because you question yourself. And Sarah and I have been questioning ourselves every day since then, which was Thursday. Whether it was the right decision, yeah. We're like, man, you know, because Sarah's because Sarah's like, dude, she ate that treat, you know. Like, could that have been an uh an upcoming? Could she have had a chance? And the vet was like, No, you'd be bringing her back in to do this all over again if you if you didn't. It's almost like dialysis, you'd almost have to have her on dialysis. Her kidneys are shut down, so and you can't there's no fucking way, dude.

SPEAKER_04:

I would just I would default to the to the expert, you know. It's just like if the vet says there's no coming back from this, then there's no coming back from this. So it's like it yeah, it's it's it's there's it's uh it's a tough decision, but I would second guess it.

SPEAKER_07:

I also had um uh on another note today. Um, so over the weekend, um, me and my buddy Danny. Danny helps me when I go on the long trips. Um you know, he does a lot of good stuff. He helped me a huge a lot of oh, he went with you this weekend, too. Oh, okay. We stayed in a hotel together, you know. Different beds, not my choice. But uh he we uh I ended up like we rocked it out. Number one, the the the bride was a metalhead partially, like, dude, she liked hip-hop. She wanted explicit right from the get-go, dude. She was like, hey, this is my wedding. I want explicit, dude. I want to show you pictures of this fucking place, dude. Oh my god, John.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, dude, I didn't even recognize it was a chandelier. That's sweet.

SPEAKER_07:

So I've got a lot of uh I've got some things to definitely check out and talk about today.

SPEAKER_04:

Um So what's the so what's the developments on on the business front? Because I do like getting weekly updates. Yeah, dude, okay. I do like getting weekly updates on the business front.

SPEAKER_07:

So all right, so uh my um, okay, so I got a message from my realtor today because I was supposed to meet her at two o'clock. She goes, Hey Jason, I have this letter of intent pretty much done. I don't think there is a reason to meet today. I just need to confirm. You want to add slat, she meant to say slate wall, slat wall, but she put slate wall. Paint the walls, remove the false wall close to the front, and add a door at the back hallway or the office entrance. I said, I wanted just the office entrance. I'm not worried about the back hallway. She goes, You can call me if you want when you are able. So I called her and um I told her, I said, I just want to apologize to you, honey. I said, because you're getting the brunt of my fucking impatience and frustration because this has been a long, drawn-out bullshit thing that I've been lied to, I've been let down, and you like finally you're a breath of fresh air. But unfortunately, I'm to the point to where I need to lock this fucker down to move forward. I can't do anything, I can't go get insurance yet. I can't fucking make promotional items because I don't know what our location is. I can't do shit right now. Like, there's nothing I can fucking do. I can't get like time spectrum ready to go so we can have internet and stuff. Right. I can't get the electric or anything else changed into my name. I can't do anything. I have to have a location in order to do this shit. So I need to lock this motherfucker down. Um, she goes, I totally understand. She's been really cool this whole time. And I told her, I said, dude, I just want to let you know I appreciate you and and being really cool and everything with it, because it's been a fucking nightmare place. And like I'm still level up, but I'm only there one day a week. I'm only there for five hours, so I work five hours a week, and uh so anybody out there is wondering why I'm not there, that's why.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, that's gonna be coming to an end pretty soon, right?

SPEAKER_07:

It is once I get to a building, yeah. I'm I'm gonna have to focus there and I'm gonna be dropping level up. But Brandon, unfortunately, like, and I feel like because I told Tom, I said, Hey man, I said, I'm kind of I'm I'm cool with not being, you know, like dude, do you really want me to be store manager and stay there and just be there one day a week? He wouldn't let me quit. He's just like, uh yeah, I do. I'm cool with that. If you just want to stay there for one day a week for right now until you open your store and be store manager, I'm cool with that. Yeah, I like it because everything's going well and you know how to run the place and everything else.

SPEAKER_04:

He should really start looking into a contingency plan when you leave. He's uh he's good.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh I've got him lined up, dude.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, okay, okay. Well at least you didn't leave the cupboards bare, if you will.

SPEAKER_07:

No, uh, I told him I would never do that to him. Um, I've got uh Brandon, uh Biller who works there, and he's the one that's bald and has a beard. He's gonna be taking over my store manager position. Now, here's the other thing Brandon, he's the one I wrote the song uh Murder Times 3 for. Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, he grew up a lot though. I will say that he's doing really well. But the thing is that sometimes he'll put stuff and be like, hey, I do I decided to do this, I decided to do that, I do this or that. You know, he'll make decisions, and I'll have to call him on it because I'll be like, listen, I'm still store manager, you still need to run those decisions by me. I'm not out of here yet. So today I had to call him. I said, Hey man, I said, I get it, you're gonna be taking over store manager. I get that. I said, but you need to still, if you can, run shit by me before you make those decisions, because I am still at the helm. If something goes wrong with something you do stupid, I have to answer for it. I said, So you need to fucking definitely run shit by me before you make decisions. I said, now when I leave, any everything is up to you. It's all your game, it's your store, it's your show. But until then, I still have control over this show. This is my my way or the highway, and you have to let me know shit. Most of the time, I'm gonna be like, Yeah, great idea. But sometimes, unfortunately, Brandon gets too over excited about shit, a little ambitious, a little ambitious, and it'll like the common sense things go right out the window. So it's like, yeah, we should do this. I'll be like, Hey, what about paying for that? Like, how are you gonna pay for that? You know, like it's it's not feasible, man. You know, like it's just you know, it's a good idea in theory, but it's not feasible, man. So he uh but you know, he was he was really cool about it. He's like, Yeah, dude, I I get it. He goes, I know man, he goes, Sometimes I'm just uh unfortunately I I you know I'm trying to step up into the role where I'm you know I'm supposed to be and everything else. Like I said, I get that, but you need to make sure you you still pump the brakes and realize that I'm still store manager here until I'm gone.

SPEAKER_04:

So so what so where do they so you have to sign this letter of intent and then what?

SPEAKER_07:

After I sign the letter of intent, uh that gets sent to the landlord. If they accept it, we schedule a time to sign the lease and get that done. Then I have to send in my application to the city, and this is where, dude, this is how I love I love having my realtor do this shit, but I don't waste time on anything, I don't wait, I will bug the fuck out of you. I don't care. My like me, time is money, and especially since I just had to make my first loan payment of$500 and some dollars for my business loan. Time is fucking money. I need to get this fucker open. Yeah, by the time I get the fucking store, I'm gonna be making two payments.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you didn't you you probably didn't anticipate this ticket so long, I guess. No, I did not, and I told the library. It's funny that your brother was able to secure a location, get us at least signed, and he's moving shit in now in his place.

SPEAKER_07:

So you know what the the the the difference is is is, and I hope it works out. He is doing it out of pocket, number one, and he's doing it in Faustoria. Yeah. Now he did have to do some other things, like he had to pay for a uh architect to to draw his plans out and do that shit. I don't have to do that because his was changing from a workout center to a retail store.

SPEAKER_04:

Didn't that cereal place used to be over in that area? Yeah, I think somewhere that serial bar place that that used to be kind of in that spot.

SPEAKER_07:

I don't know if it was in that exact spot, but he so I'm like, hey, whatever, man. You know, like I think I'm hoping he realizes that there's so much more that goes along with this. I mean, what sucks about his and what the difference between his and mine is, he has a shit ton of stock, but it's not fluid, dude. You have stock. Can you make that fluid? Is the question if you need to make it fluid? Me, on the other hand, I have enough stock. I don't have as much as he does, and I have an overabundance, but I also have a nest egg built up or saved because I don't my loan money doesn't get spent on anything unless it's business oriented, right? So I don't go out and go like, well, hey babe, you want to go out to Olive Garden? All right, well, let's go. We're gonna use my business code.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, that don't make sense, yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_07:

So, no joke, I'm still sitting on that. I still have all of my savings money that I put in there from like when I was saving up for a down payment, so I still have all that. I'm ready to go, like everything's good to go.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, it's good to have that in case in case you know you want to you want to buy stock or you want to take that capital, put it into more merchandise to sell.

SPEAKER_07:

Well, also I'm gonna be able to, the difference between his and mine, I'm gonna be able to, he's gonna have to take all of his proceeds from his store and put it right back into the store. I won't have to do that as much because I'm gonna have that nest egg, I'm gonna have the that money sitting there. Like, I'm gonna be able to be like, okay, well, let's go get shirts and shit, and let's get that stuff, let's get this stuff loaded up. I'm gonna have that that that money there, and I'm gonna put some of it back and hold on to it and just in case of emergency.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I think I know you're frustrated with this process, but I think you're better set up in the long run once you get things going. You have I think your location is is really good. You're you gotta, I think you got a better means of infrastructure behind it, as opposed to, you know, it's a better city, it's a better, you know, the market. It's a better market. It's I and I, you know, I I know you want to get it done, and I I don't blame you. I would be fucking up a wall about it. But I think once you get in it and get going, I think I think you're gonna it's gonna it's gonna be better overall, as opposed to, you know, try to, you know, just you just get in somewhere to get in. You know, it takes yeah, I I I get it, man. It's it's I couldn't even fathom trying to do all this.

SPEAKER_07:

It is a fucking nightmare, dude.

SPEAKER_04:

It's crazy.

SPEAKER_07:

Cause dude, when I when I first started, when I first started talking about this stuff, um, I was I th I thought paying a thousand dollars for retail space was ridiculous. And now that I get into it, I'm like, holy shit, dude. I'm like, dude, I'm paying, I'm not kidding. The space I'm getting is gonna be ridiculously good. Cause my um my realtor is also trying to get that garage thrown in for just a couple hundred extra on my lease. Like, call it.

SPEAKER_04:

I looked at it on Google Maps, it looks good. There's like a fucking car, there's like a collectible store right next door. Yeah, yeah, it's uh Gables garage. Yeah, it's like that's perfect. That's a perfect pairing.

SPEAKER_07:

That's the one I was talking about to where he wasn't really hugely keen on me moving in. But it's like, listen, dude, if you're going to I don't, I'm not doing the same thing you are, man. You know, like I'm doing something different. You uh you have like a few video games in here, which is cool, whatever. And somebody, Joe told me, I think I was either your brother or I don't know if it was your brother. I don't know, I haven't talked to Joe in a while, so I maybe it wasn't your brother, it was maybe somebody else. But he goes, Whoever was, I goes, why don't you just buy up all the fucking buy up all his video games and he has nothing to bitch about? Like take all of his video games out of there, dude, and buy them all up. And then you know, there's nothing, then he has nothing to compare. Um and that's that's one thing. It'd be like, you know, dude, like what does he sell? He sells cards. He sells cards, so cards and sports memorabilia, video game memorabilia, pops, and everything else.

SPEAKER_04:

I said, uh that's not his primary, his primary is cards, right? Oh, dude, just yeah, he's not the same thing.

SPEAKER_07:

It's just somebody's he's just trying to suck up all the market and trying to keep everything down. And it's like, okay, well, dude, listen, you have two options. You can work with me, or you can try to work against me. I'm not a very like, I'm a very persistent person, I'm a very stubborn person, I'm a very impatient person, and and and I I will bury you. I dude, I that I said that to Bill one time, dude. Oh, yeah, I'd probably do this. I don't know. So to me, it's like I could be a colleague of yours, dude. We could work together, we can have tournaments because he's got the tables, he's got a TV in there, I can have other TVs in there. We could do tournaments and shit together, or I could we could be neighbors that don't really talk and it doesn't fucking matter, and you do your thing and I do my thing, and good luck. And no joke, I will uh I'm not gonna talk bad about your store, I'll never do that, no matter what you do. I don't care how bad you talk about my store, I'll never talk bad about your store because that's just not me. But am I gonna be pushing people your way? No, not if you're a dick hole, not if you're you're just gonna badmouth my shit and be an asshole. No, I will not push people your way. Yeah. But if you're but if you're gonna be cool, we can collaborate. We can fucking be. I told them I want to be successful and I want him to be able to do that.

SPEAKER_04:

Tip it has line drive right by level up, and there's no problems there, but I don't think they don't really stand it. They're shit, dude. They do sell that they sell fucking toys and collect sports collectibles. They do. So and they're right next door.

SPEAKER_07:

So what's the fucking Dan don't Dan don't give a shit. He's just an old dude, and he don't give a fuck. I love Dan. It's the same, I think it I see. I find that situation comparable. It's I agree. And and the dude tried to okay. So what's funny is I I walked in and and Bill Bill saw he goes, dude, yeah, he didn't leave. He goes, Damn, dude, that dude didn't like you very much at first. You know, I went in there and I talked to him and I said, and I didn't give him a lot of time to pro you know process what I was saying. So I could kind of see I caught him. Bill goes, I think you caught him off guard. Because I went right in and I said, Hey, what's up, man? He's like, Hey, how's it going? I said, My name's Jason, and I'm actually looking at the property right next to you. I wanted to introduce myself. I'm looking to open a retro video game store right next to you. And he goes, You're fucking joking.

SPEAKER_05:

Is that what he said? That's what he said.

SPEAKER_07:

And I said, Is there a problem? He's like, Yeah, we're gonna be competing. I said, competing with what? I said, I'm not selling cards, I'm not selling any of this stuff. He goes, Look, I sell video games. What the five Nintendo games you got sitting on the shelf? Is that what you said? Yeah, I said, You ain't got you, you got a couple video games out there, ain't much out there. I said, your mainstay, like you could see what your main stuff is, and there's cards everywhere. And um he's like, Yeah, well, it used to be a lot fuller, but people have been coming in. I said, I was like, Oh, okay. And I'm sitting here, like, I said, dude, my main thing's gonna be video games. I'm gonna be doing records and and and media, like cassettes, you know, stuff like that. I want to do all that shit. And uh he goes, Um I said, so I don't see us being competition, man. And I talked like I talked to him for a little bit and I was like, listen, dude. He goes, Well, this is my livelihood, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I said, I get that. I said, you know, and he goes, Well, I've been doing this, I've been in the business and you know, for five years. I said, you know what? I've been in the video game industry for 16. I said, he's like, 16, where? I said, dude, I've run two different level up stores, dude. I've been store manager of both of them. I said, I know the ins and outs of fucking video game retail. I know that trade. That did not go well. I you know, I did that go huggy winning. I don't think so. Uh huh. Nope. I don't think so. So I told him, I said, listen, man, my goal here is not to run your ass out of business. My goal here is to collab with you. And I said, I want to be successful, and I want you to be successful. I said, I'm not the usual asshole businessman you meet in the fucking street. You know, I said, I'm I'm actually a caring, fucking decent person that wants to see people successful. Yeah, I said, you know, like that's like my brother. Does it suck that my brother's opening before me? Yeah, it does, because he's gonna suck all the people up that I would have been getting. But am I happy that he's opening before me for him? Yes, I am. Do I hope he's doing really well for himself? Do I hope it works out? Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_04:

Bro, to be I'll be completely honest with you. I love your brother, but I would frustrate the fuck out of you, man. If he if he if he opened up a video game store, that's what I was doing. That would frustrate the fuck out of me.

SPEAKER_07:

But he wasn't supposed to for a couple of years, but he got um he got a a great location. Well, kind of great, except for it's in Fastoria. He's got a great location, and he got um, and the cost was right. And the thing is, it's like, hey, dude, like you do whatever you need to do. If you think you can do this, and you've got all I hope, I hope you've got everything ready to go. Because running a fucking store.

SPEAKER_04:

He's tried this before, hasn't he?

SPEAKER_07:

He has with a with a buddy, and he luckily scaved away without getting any repercussions. Um, the problem is that yeah, he just yeah, it's it's it's not looking good.

SPEAKER_04:

But I don't know. I'm just trying to put myself like, what if Joe opened up a I mean, I don't even know what I a store I would even consider opening, you know, it and Joe decides what you did a wrestling podcast and then Joe did one, like yeah, or something like yeah, and it's like what the fuck are you doing, man? I don't know that that would kind of frustrate me. But I I mean it's cool, it's cool that you're you're willing to work with them, or maybe work not work against them. We'll rephrase that, not necessarily working with them, yeah. Working against him is is kind of we're gonna be, I think we're gonna be working together.

SPEAKER_07:

Like, I'm gonna be getting stuff from him, he can get stuff from me, or whatever.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, it I can it could be a valuable, you know, uh work in relationship. It that it could turn out that way too.

SPEAKER_07:

And I'm uh you know, and I'm gonna work with level up until I buy it in a couple years, and I'm gonna also work it with rockam sakem and stuff too. So it's gonna be a work like I'm gonna be working with a lot of different places, and and um good luck. That's all I gotta say, dude. Because it is so that guy calm down at all, or did was he still really stayed standoffish the whole time? No, toward the end of it, he calmed down and I said, Listen, dude, I said, I'm not here to fuck you over. I said, actually, I'm probably gonna be buying a lot of your shit to put in my store to decorate. Like, and people are probably gonna be like, Hey, where'd you get that? And I'll be like, Oh, over there, dude. The dude's got it. Not that you don't have it all over your windows already, because he has neons and shit in his window. And when he said he was like, Listen, this is my livelihood. I'm like, dude, he's got like a newer style Corvette. You must be doing pretty fucking good, dude. I don't think you're hurting. It's not like you're out here driving a Ford Pinto wondering whether you're fucking making it or not, you know. You know, don't don't don't fucking don't like if I walk outside he's like, you know, and he's getting in his car, he's like, it's Elise, you know, or something like that. But um, but no, he calmed down. I told him, I said, dude, listen. I said, so you know that he goes, so you own T Town DJ? I said, Yeah, I do. He goes, because I have my hoodie on and shit. Yeah. And uh he goes, I said, Yeah, you know that Corvette car show they had out front. I said, I fucking DJ'd that. He's like, Oh yeah, I was in that because he has a Corvette. I said, Oh, cool, man. He goes, Yeah, I'm part of the club or whatever, I'm part of the the board of members or whatever. I said, Yeah, I was the DJ that DJ'd that fucking event. So, like, listen, dude, like when I have my ribbon cutting, dude, do you think people are just gonna stick to my store? No, they're probably gonna come over to your store as well. You're right next door, and you got a lot of cool shit.

SPEAKER_04:

So, and I've done that. I've gone to level or I've gone to level up and get something, and then I I'll go right to I'll go to line drive. Why not? Yeah, because it's you're right there, it's two, it's two things that I do particularly like. So, you know, I I don't love video games as much as I used to, but when I do buy it, I'll stop my line drive because I I do you know I like sports cards and stuff, and you know, if he's like you know, if he sells Pokemon and sports cards, I think those things go together, man. Like it could be a very good relationship if he sells poke, he sells Pokemon, right? I assume. Does he sell Pokemon cards as well? Dude, it goes hand in hand.

SPEAKER_07:

He sells every type, there's so many different cards. He has like baseball, football, he's got like the sports and stuff, Batman cards, and like superhero cards.

SPEAKER_04:

Those old tops, those old tops cards for a whole bunch of different things. So there you go. So dude, I think that shit goes hand in hand. Like video games and and cut and collectible cards and stuff like that. I think those are two things that I think I think there's a lot of overlap. Like, like, here's there's a lot of overlap.

SPEAKER_07:

Here's the thing it's like, what other store could go in there besides what a jewelry store or something? You couldn't do jerseys because he sells jerseys there, he'd be like, Oh, you're competing. You couldn't do cards, obviously. That's his big thing, so that'd be real kick in the dick. What what other store could you put next door to where he wouldn't be complaining and crying about it? You know, like it's like, dude, listen, you've got such an array of shit in your store. If I chose anything, I could be like, Well, I'll I'll sell shoes next door. You'd be like, Oh, you're good. I have a pair of shoes down here. I was thinking about selling, and then uh, you know. I mean, that's a big thing, too, right? Yeah, dude. No, fuck that, dude. You know, like to me, it's just like. I think it just scared him because he's like, Oh man, you know what's gonna happen. But dude, if I'm busy, you're gonna be busy. That's what's gonna happen. What do you think happened to the learned arcade? Why do you think that that Tyler kind of lets Tom slide on some shit? He does. He lets Tom like used to let him slide a lot. Now he's been hiding in the rings a little bit lately, but the learned arcade would let Tom slide on shit. It's because the the learn arcade was dead. Tom brought level up over the fucking line arcade. There's a lot of rings.

SPEAKER_04:

There's a lot of shit in there.

SPEAKER_07:

So you know what would be awesome, dude? You know what we should do? This would be cool. We should just let it. This would be badass, but unfortunately we don't get enough read. I wish we could do our own radio station. But right in the middle of a learned arcade is an open office looking space with windows. It'd be perfect for fucking doing fucking like radio shit.

SPEAKER_04:

You can do online radio. I mean there that is a thing, but you would have to have the infrastructure in place to do it. Like web space and stuff like that. That's always been a dream of mine. This is the most closest thing this is the closest thing I'll ever get to it.

SPEAKER_07:

Oh well, I I I did uh an interview on fucking uh 9670, so that was.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, radio, like being a radio DJ was like one of the things I really wanted to do with that or like video production. We gotta take a break! So we're going to uh be back after a riveting It's not quite Valentine's Day, but we're gonna get into that a little early. So Sweetest Day Oh yeah, it was Sweetest Day not too long ago. So yeah.

So it's about so it's basically it's about a ballerina being trapped in this music box that she just wants to be set free. She doesn't she she feels trapped in it.

unknown:

The scream.

SPEAKER_07:

Is that there's a way to make it to where it's a guy and a woman going back and forth like fucking scream. Like this wouldn't work.

SPEAKER_04:

Actually, I do have something like that.

SPEAKER_07:

Cause see, I like it, like you can have you know what would be a really good song, like to to make it, dude, if you want some idea.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07:

Make it to where it's two people in a courtroom talking their side of the story. Like, or two people being interrogated, but one of them's telling the cops one thing and the other one's telling the cops the other thing. Kind of.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, like the two stories that are good. It's like I'm gonna make that.

SPEAKER_07:

A woman, a woman telling the story about how the guy's abusive and all this other shit, and then the guy point painting another picture of what it was up. Or, or it could be two different versions of an event for a murder. You know, something like that, you know. I don't know, but I love like I was thinking of that, and I'm like, dude, how badass would it be? To where like they do she does her chorus, then he comes in with his verse, and he sings, he does his chorus, and then at the end they come in together with a fucking chorus where it's just they go back and forth on the next verse, and then it's fucking chorus where they both come in and start screaming and singing and shit.

SPEAKER_04:

What if I showed you this? This doesn't this probably isn't gonna like these two songs are gonna make a an EP. I got these two that are gonna go on a on an EP that I'm gonna put on Spotify.
