6
00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:47.479
I go one more time? With
people in the back of it? I

7
00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:52.960
think we're still Tyler's intro thumber.
Yeah, I think we could. The

8
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.000
fans would want to know this stuff. Would you kick this pig force better?

9
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.480
I can't tell if he's that still
or if his camera brooke good.

10
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:19.280
That was good. Welcome back,
guys. We hopefully y'all out there listeners

11
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:26.040
are not experiencing the same creaking seasonal
jet lag that that I am. I

12
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.840
know, I've been toting that it
all morning, but it's put me in

13
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:32.120
a bad fucking mood at work.
I'm snapping at people, you know what

14
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:34.719
I mean. It's like, yeah, Jacky hit me at practice yesterday.

15
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:42.560
He hits you at band practice while
you guys are were the whole time.

16
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:52.200
I say, yeah, yeah,
I mean you're a bass player, so

17
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:56.280
nobody in the audience is gonna disagree
with that. But I didn't do it

18
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:12.240
every single like the aim though would
be like all let's be let's be honest

19
00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:17.879
and be fair. There is no
way I would risk smacking my Gibson Explorer

20
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:24.840
into something to beat Tyler. And
there's this room is not big enough to

21
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:29.840
move around. You know that I
mentioned. I mean even that and then

22
00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:35.199
the other like the Gibson ethic going
on. I mean he's holding a thunderbird.

23
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.000
Yeah, you know what I mean. It's like, there's just you

24
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:47.319
can't can't risk it, right,
it's too dangerous. Yeah, it's where

25
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:51.960
it's uh, in the in the
room, in the band, like when

26
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:57.759
the band's playing. My guitar is
probably the most beat up in the room.

27
00:02:57.759 --> 00:03:00.120
Like it is. It is,
without a doubt, like the most

28
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:05.439
rundown guitar in the room. Yeah, but it's beautiful. But god damn

29
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.680
she sound good. She's beauty.
Yeah. I think it was. Dave

30
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.240
like a few weeks back, was
like, dude, what is that?

31
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.680
Right? There? Is that from
your fucking pick. I'm like, dude,

32
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:22.280
this thing is it's been played hard
for a long time. Man,

33
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:27.280
I'm like, yeah, there's like
a baited line like where I've like picked

34
00:03:27.400 --> 00:03:30.319
or whatever. It's funny because I
never even noticed it, Like I didn't

35
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:32.759
notice it until he pointed it out, and I'm like, oh, it

36
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:37.280
was good. But people pay good
money for guitars to have that ship done

37
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:43.599
to him fake. It's kind of
like, uh, oh god, I

38
00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:47.560
can't but like the torn up jeans
or whatever, what the hell? I

39
00:03:49.199 --> 00:03:55.919
can't believe I forgot his name.
Couch dude, a lot of weed.

40
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.280
Willie Nelson, Willie Nelson, that's
I could figure out his last name.

41
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:05.159
Snoop Dog. You're talking about Trigger, Yeah, his acoustic Yeah, trigger

42
00:04:05.520 --> 00:04:10.759
Yeah. Like they he says that
he takes it into makes the suret.

43
00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:15.560
It's like okay, but dude,
it has a hole in it. It's

44
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.079
worn down. Even the frets itself
like they're like they have waves in them.

45
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:26.600
It's like, I've got you won't
fix it. I've got the day

46
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:32.160
that that like he says that when
that the day comes within that thing breaks,

47
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.240
he's done. Yeah. Yeah,
yeah, my my acoustic Susie is

48
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:44.680
like that. You can tell where
it's been played most frequently because the the

49
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.600
finish is wearing off of the fret
board. Yeah, completely. I don't.

50
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.920
I don't know that I have an
acoustic that's worn down like that.

51
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:01.319
The explorer. Explorer's all, it's
all a lot of action for solid decade

52
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:09.079
there. So yeah, it definitely
uh got it's you know abuse. Yeah.

53
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.199
I have never actually sat and looked
at the frets that like to see

54
00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.680
if there was any waves and them. I I can't imagine there would be,

55
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.680
you know what I mean, Yeah, I could be wrong, and

56
00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:25.160
still I mean, you know,
just gets just now got her broken,

57
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:28.399
right, I mean, she's just
now broken. I can't wait then a

58
00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:30.560
little more broken. It's starting to
get there. It's starting to feel good,

59
00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:36.399
you know. M h every uh
every week, man, I think

60
00:05:36.439 --> 00:05:45.160
about ordering uh some Fishman's for the
the V. Yeah. I keep thinking

61
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:48.639
about it because it's got that front
plate, so it's like you can literally

62
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.600
everything can be mounted to that front
plate and you just drop the whole thing

63
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:55.759
in. Like, yeah, it's
quick. It's the one thing like I

64
00:05:55.879 --> 00:05:58.839
love about to V, but I
also dislike about it. Yeah, I

65
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.040
hate that big as holl you know. Yeah, like everything's matted to a

66
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:06.079
piece of plastic. That's kind of
Yeah, I need to get el Vira

67
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:12.800
my DNML into someplace to just mess
with the electronics. I'm tired of looking

68
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.199
at it and not being able to
play it. Yeah, a bridge pickup

69
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.519
just it will not It's like it's
single coil or something. I don't know

70
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.079
what's going on. I've opened I've
opened it up three or four times and

71
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:28.439
I can't see anything physically wrong.
So yeah, but it's weird. I

72
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:30.759
love the way there's that there's sound
though that when it was when it was

73
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.560
playing right and sounded good. Hell
yeah, it was beautiful. Yeah.

74
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:39.000
I love playing a guitar too.
It's it's like it's feather light and it

75
00:06:39.120 --> 00:06:44.680
sounds amazing. But right now it's
just pissing me off. It's super light.

76
00:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.600
Yeah, it's very easy playing guitar. Yeah, welcome to the Kentucky

77
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:55.319
Guitar Files. Yeah. Well,
since we before we even started, we

78
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:58.720
were talking, you guys were talking
about music and stuff. I kind of

79
00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:04.680
wanted to throw like, you guys
know any like music conspiracies, let's throw

80
00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:09.920
throw this in there. I didn't
know if you guys had any I've heard

81
00:07:09.920 --> 00:07:15.040
of like one. Uh, that's
that's pretty big. I heard like I

82
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.079
heard it a long time ago on
no, no, no, no,

83
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.160
I like I haven't heard that one
too, And that one does sound pretty

84
00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.079
believable. I'll get that. But
the one that everybody is on the fence

85
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:35.519
about just because of the whole scenario
is Kirk Cobain's death. Oh oh yeah,

86
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:42.279
that's a big one because like especially
like they said that he should like

87
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.000
with all the drugs that was in
his system, he shouldn't have been able

88
00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:53.160
to shoot pick up up that shotgun, let alone aiming at himself and shoot.

89
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:57.040
I don't know, that's that's a
bit of a stretch, dude,

90
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.160
Like I we even talked talked about
like the effects that just your normal just

91
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:07.079
doing weed would due to most of
us, like some of us don't.

92
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:13.319
Yeah, but granted he like it's
not a shock, Like, yeah,

93
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.839
Kirk Covain was a heavy drug user
and drinks a lot of alcohol, So

94
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.439
there's always that thing. But that's
why, like I feel like a lot

95
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:28.120
of people like feel that it wasn't
a suicide. But then he was a

96
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:35.679
very depressed person, and so that
that goes to like saying like like it

97
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:41.000
seems right because how depressed of a
person he was. But if you've ever

98
00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.840
like actually looked into that like that. The most the most people that seem

99
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:52.159
like that would do, like would
commit suicide are the ones that don't talk

100
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.039
about it. They don't they don't
show their emotion. They might be a

101
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.000
little bit like they might show you
that they're depressed, but everybody's I never

102
00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.279
I would never guess they would have
done that. No, depression is hilarious.

103
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:09.159
And I'm not saying that to be
mean or spiteful or you know,

104
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.440
this is probably cool, it's going
to get it canceled later on. Depression.

105
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.720
Depression is hilarity, right because,
like I remember, when I was

106
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:24.919
going through a really really really really
dark time in my life, all of

107
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:30.360
my outward communication, like especially on
social media, was attempting to make everybody

108
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:33.440
else around me laugh because if they
were laughing, it brought me up a

109
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.240
little bit, it made me feel
a little bit better. It's the same

110
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:41.120
thing with like Robin Williams. You
know, that dude behind the scenes was

111
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.000
a mess, but what people saw
was his hilarity. You know. So

112
00:09:46.600 --> 00:09:50.440
like the people who are really really
in bad shape, it's really hard to

113
00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.399
tell unless you're super close to him, you know, And that's why.

114
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.720
I guess like a lot of people
don't understand like the whole the suicides that

115
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.320
happened with like, well, these
are more conspiracies Chester and Chris Cornell,

116
00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:09.759
you know. Yeah, that's probably
one of the main reasons why there is

117
00:10:09.879 --> 00:10:16.559
even conspiracy degrees about it, because
people didn't see them as people that would

118
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:20.399
do that. You know, they're
wealthy, famous rock stars, you know.

119
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:24.960
So I don't know. With Kurt, I was never a Nirvana fan,

120
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:31.919
so I never paid attention to it. You know, I didn't really

121
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:37.159
even listened too much of his music
because I didn't enjoy it, which is

122
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:43.279
probably gonna get me canceled. Also, But if he used that much heroin

123
00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:50.720
on a regular basis, you know, to me, like the people I've

124
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:56.600
known that have overdosed, they've overdosed
because they quit using and tried to go

125
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:07.879
back to using what they were using
before, which was lethal amounts. Yeah,

126
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:11.480
I don't know. I have heard. I have heard these, you

127
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:15.799
know, the conspiracies about you know, like Courtney Courtney Love killing him or

128
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.759
having him killed or whatever. And
there was a short time where I was

129
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:24.720
on board with it. I was
like, yeah, yeah, she's spiteful

130
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:28.879
as fun I think didn't. Didn't
somebody send us something about this or suggest

131
00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:33.960
this in the commentist to talk about
because I remember somebody. I remember reading

132
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:39.480
somewhere where somebody was telling us to
watch Bleach. Oh yeah, yeah,

133
00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:41.759
that was that was a while back. I can't remember who said that.

134
00:11:43.559 --> 00:11:45.679
I wouldn't even know how far to
go back, you know, I think

135
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.360
that's recent. I don't think it's
so far back. I think it's went

136
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.399
in the last last four episodes.
Oh well, yeah, man, whoever

137
00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:56.200
said that? And I'm sorry I
can't remember who it was. Yeah,

138
00:11:56.519 --> 00:12:01.960
we'll definitely have to do an addendum
and do a shout out to yeah,

139
00:12:01.039 --> 00:12:05.799
you know at some point. But
yeah, okay, with that being said,

140
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:09.440
like the whole court and he loved
things like granted, like she did

141
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:16.639
have a huge legal battle afterwards of
his like his rights to his music and

142
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.759
stuff with Dave girl, and she's
a wife, you know, Yeah,

143
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:28.559
she gets acclaim and yeah, which
I himself signed that contract, you know

144
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:31.159
what I mean. See, that's
a that's a that's a touchy place,

145
00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.000
you know. Yeah. Yeah,
but I thought they said that they were

146
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:39.559
like there was allegations that she was
they were getting a divorce or did they

147
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:43.000
already have that. Yeah. Well
see that's that's kind of one of those

148
00:12:43.039 --> 00:12:46.960
deals too, where I mean,
especially in the court of law, it's

149
00:12:46.080 --> 00:12:54.200
like if they were gonna get a
divorce, Yeah, it's she's Yeah,

150
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:58.639
it's a big point. Now,
Yeah, took his own life. Yeah

151
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:05.240
right, if he's if he's dead, and they couldn't find anything directly linking

152
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.120
her to it, whether she did
it or not, she might as well

153
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:16.080
be innocent. Was it. Was
there ever a doubt in the police that

154
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:20.360
it was a suicide or was it
always? Okay, So there was a

155
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:26.559
doubt about the police department, the
police department, the active investigators had many,

156
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.879
many suspicions around it. So that's
what actually kicked this whole thing off,

157
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:35.120
okay, was that even the police
were like, it would have been

158
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.879
hard to even move with the amount
of heroin that was in his system.

159
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:43.080
Well, you're talking about a veteran
here. This is somebody who's been he's

160
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.320
he'd been at it for a while
and then he'd been cleaned for a month.

161
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.799
Yeah he was. Didn't he start
when he was a teenager? Oh

162
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:54.759
yeah, yeah, somewhere early yeah. Yeah, so he had ten years

163
00:13:54.879 --> 00:14:01.919
or better of heroin usage and then
I silent month of what a deep detox

164
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.000
of nineties heroin usage. Yeah,
and then's just being put out now with

165
00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.360
Fenton al and all that shit in
it. Right, So he's clean,

166
00:14:11.279 --> 00:14:13.360
he's clean, he's already been through
the withth Rolls all that he goes in

167
00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:18.679
and he does, you know,
a megadose of what he normally would.

168
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:24.639
That's where the suspicion comes in,
is that he came out of a rehab,

169
00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:28.919
you know, took himself out of
rehab, came back to his home

170
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:37.240
in Seattle, and goes on a
bender. So yeah, you got to

171
00:14:37.320 --> 00:14:43.240
think that being clean for a month
and then doing a bender, potentially he

172
00:14:43.279 --> 00:14:48.399
wouldn't have even needed the shotgun,
right, you know, it would have

173
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.799
been enough to just take him out
just by itself. That's where the suspicion

174
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:56.960
comes in, where they're like,
well, this is kind of weird because

175
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.360
even the way his like he was
laying, you know, the way they

176
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:05.360
found him, it was it was
off, like there was something off about

177
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.679
it. So you know, I
don't know, Yeah, it's it's weird,

178
00:15:11.759 --> 00:15:15.360
but that's the kind of the nature
of of like iconic figures. You

179
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:18.279
know what I mean, uh,
when I was in my teens, in

180
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:20.919
my teenage years, I listened to
a lot of Nirvana for probably three or

181
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:28.320
four years there, and I will
say I learned a lot of I learned

182
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:35.080
a lot of song building strategy.
Yeah, I guess from listening to Nirvana,

183
00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:39.039
and then as I kind of grew
out of it, I kind of

184
00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:41.120
stopped following so went by the time
he'd taken his own life, I was

185
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:46.879
kind of like, oh wow,
you know, like that's crazy, you

186
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:50.000
know what I mean? Like this, dude, I think it's kind of

187
00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.600
the nature of like iconic figures is
like especially ones that end are like end

188
00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:58.960
too soon, you know, because
you think think of like the twenty seven

189
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:02.840
Club. He's in it, din't
he? Yeah, The twenty seven Club

190
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:10.279
has all these iconic you know,
Janice Joplin and Jim Morrison and Jim Hendrix.

191
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:15.159
You know Amy Winehouse. Amy Winehouse
was the house. Yeah, I

192
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.559
mean, you know which, I
don't know if you guys listen to her

193
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.200
or not, but I still listened
to her. Amy Winehouse was a fucking

194
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.200
phenomen like, holy shit, one
of the best voices to ever come out

195
00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:30.440
in my opinion. Yeah, and
she was a very old voice. Yes,

196
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.879
that was it was lounge, you
know. Yeah, well it had

197
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:42.960
that, It had that, like
the the Cuba influenced portions of New York

198
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.000
Field to it. You know,
it definitely had that that Bronx or Brooklyn,

199
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:52.679
now the Brooklyn Brooklyn or Bronx were
the Cubans, the huge Cuban population.

200
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.799
I can't remember. I want to
say Brooklyn, but I don't know.

201
00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:00.720
I couldn't say. Yeah, I
can't remember either. I've never been

202
00:17:00.879 --> 00:17:04.519
so but it has that influence,
you know. Yeah. Yeah, but

203
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:07.039
like look at look at her life. You know, she she got all

204
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:10.680
the way to the point where she
got to record a song with her hero,

205
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:15.400
yea, Tony Bennett. Yeah,
so she's standing in a studio with

206
00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:22.000
Tony Bennett, who was I mean, he was a walking monument, you

207
00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:25.799
know what I mean, Like,
dude, like every bit as iconic is

208
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:29.480
like the statue of liberty, right, and she's standing in a studio recording

209
00:17:29.480 --> 00:17:32.440
a song with him, you know
what I mean. So she she made

210
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:37.279
it to the top and then I
think the last thing they said she she

211
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:41.119
said was that she didn't want to
die, and they found her dead.

212
00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:47.759
Yeah, it's like so in a
way, like I don't want to be

213
00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:52.799
morbid about it, but and in
some ways very depressed people like maybe that

214
00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:56.440
was the sign of like the ceiling. That was the end of it,

215
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.160
Like it couldn't get any better.
That was their pinnacle. Yeah, yeah,

216
00:18:00.200 --> 00:18:04.440
and they didn't want to go on
feeling depressed after having that such of

217
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:11.359
a I no matter what, especially
meaning somebody that you idolized in getting to

218
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:17.079
do a song, especially like in
that industry, being in that industry and

219
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:25.559
getting to do that, Like I
really like maybe that was the highest that

220
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:30.920
was ever for her, Like she
like it was just like it couldn't like

221
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.559
she had to just let it go
because she didn't want to lose that feeling,

222
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:41.039
right like because she knows how like
how how she felt inside and so

223
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:45.880
like because like, be perfectly honest, I am not I will say this,

224
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:49.160
I'm not the greatest musician in the
world. But the times that I've

225
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:56.440
been on stage, it is so
amazing. Yeah, it's euphoric, like

226
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:00.240
like I know that I like I
beat myself fuck Like the times where I

227
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:03.200
was playing drums and stuff, I
was like, dude, I sucked at

228
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:08.640
that part. I fucked that up. But hearing the even the smallest of

229
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:15.480
crowds getting into it. It is
so amazing and like I just could not

230
00:19:17.160 --> 00:19:23.079
like imagine myself anywhere else but that
moment. So yeah, I wanted to

231
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:26.240
kind of kick back a little bit. I don't know if you guys like,

232
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:33.079
Okay, you you've heard the whole
theory of uh Courty Love. Yeah,

233
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:37.920
potentially, like she hired somebody or
she did herself. I'm assuming that

234
00:19:37.960 --> 00:19:45.400
everybody keeps saying she hired somebody to
do to commit this murder, if you

235
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:52.480
will. But there's another theory about
that because there was a very big thing.

236
00:19:52.640 --> 00:20:00.279
She had very mental issues growing up, and she went the therapy some

237
00:20:00.680 --> 00:20:07.519
like there's some cases where she was
a product of the MK ultra era.

238
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:11.880
Do you remember I ever heard of
that? Oh I have heard this before.

239
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:15.000
It's like LSD or something I think
they said. But it's mind control.

240
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:27.720
So some people say that Love was
a a a CIA agent technically have

241
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:33.279
you seen Courtney Love and interviews?
But that's the thing, you would never

242
00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.359
guess that, Like when you like, it's the whole the whole joke about

243
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:44.359
uh sleeper cell, you say a
code word that no one would ever say.

244
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:49.039
Yeah, it's like that's the thing, like like could that have been?

245
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.920
Like but there's actually like like like
it was around the time, and

246
00:20:55.039 --> 00:20:57.880
didn't she she's a part of some
other deaths? Ain't she? She dated

247
00:20:57.960 --> 00:21:03.880
somebody beforehand? I thought I thought
she dated some other people beforehand that actually

248
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:11.519
kind of ended their lives too.
I mean, if that's true, I

249
00:21:11.559 --> 00:21:15.839
think, you know what I'm gonna
say. You know, at what point

250
00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:23.079
do you kind of stop and you
go maybe it's me? You know,

251
00:21:23.279 --> 00:21:32.559
like I don't know, like if
you if you I used to own the

252
00:21:32.559 --> 00:21:37.519
the biography, uh what was it
called? Come as you Are whatever?

253
00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:41.400
The Kirk Cobain biography, and I
remember reading it when I was younger.

254
00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:45.599
I read the whole thing, and
be honest, man, if you go

255
00:21:45.680 --> 00:21:52.440
back and you read it, it's
it starts to become a very very like

256
00:21:52.759 --> 00:22:00.200
clear picture of where it ends because
from an early early on and he had

257
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:07.960
a like a melancholy like where it
just it was never it was never leieved,

258
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:11.279
you know what I mean. And
he had, you know, the

259
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:15.480
stomach issues, that chronic stomach pain
for his like his entire life, so

260
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:19.640
you like never really knew a moment
of peace, you know, wasn't he

261
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:25.519
like sick, sick, like didn't
there like something reason he always worse sweaters.

262
00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:29.599
Maybe that's just a conspiracy always heard. I don't know, I don't

263
00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.960
Yeah, I couldn't say, but
I know that. I mean, the

264
00:22:33.279 --> 00:22:37.160
drugs ended up being a way to
stop the pain in his stomach. And

265
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:40.640
then you know that, you know
how that shake goes, that spirals out

266
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.359
of control. And then take a
person who's already volatile and depressed, especially

267
00:22:45.400 --> 00:22:52.319
living with a chronic pain, and
then add a drug that's known for bringing

268
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:57.440
you down to the lowest of the
lows. Did I really at this point

269
00:22:57.519 --> 00:23:02.000
in life, I'm like, conspiracy
or no. I feel like it was

270
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:06.440
gonna end that way anyway, and
some I mean, anything could have been

271
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:08.599
the shotgun at that point, you
know, it could have been the needle,

272
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:12.000
It could have been anything. I
just feel like a month before that,

273
00:23:12.640 --> 00:23:18.880
the right before the rehab thing,
he overdosed in rome. Really yeah,

274
00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.079
so it's it was he was on
that colligion like it was, you

275
00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.720
know, this the spiral was out
of control, you know what I mean,

276
00:23:26.880 --> 00:23:30.759
Like it was. I feel like
it was just inevitable at that point.

277
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:37.279
He arguably he definitely came in and
He definitely shook up music big time,

278
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.480
especially the you know the I mean
Jesus Christ, I mean, if

279
00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.799
you if you really want to look
at it like I mean, he was.

280
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:56.680
He was an unwilling crusader against hair
metal. He came in when hair

281
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.279
metal was at the height right and
literally just kicked the chair out from underneath

282
00:24:02.279 --> 00:24:07.759
of it. So thank you Kurt
for that. Because metal, when metal

283
00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:15.319
recovered, I like to think that
metal recovered with a little album entitled The

284
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.920
Great Southern Trend Kill. And when
that came out, it was, you

285
00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:25.880
know, to me, arguably that
recovered metal on back onto the path that

286
00:24:26.039 --> 00:24:30.279
it's currently at now, which I'm
thankful for. So I'm like, although

287
00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:33.640
and that now Kurt was a metal
fan too. Kurt listened to some heavy

288
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:37.559
as shit. He didn't play it, but he listened to it. But

289
00:24:38.279 --> 00:24:42.160
I really feel like what we got
out of him was kind of like the

290
00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:47.519
perfect He was the perfect person for
what he needed to be done. If

291
00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:51.400
I guess, like I feel like
it was faded or something like it had

292
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.000
to go a certain way. He
wasn't meant to be an old Tony Bennett,

293
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:00.759
you know, singing with with some
young star or or a judge on

294
00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:03.400
some fucking TV show. Dude,
he was against all that. He was

295
00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:07.079
against the grain. You know.
Yeah, this is the guy who would

296
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:12.039
like go to the you know,
MTV Music Awards to perform, dude,

297
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.960
and like trash the stage and then
sit down with you know, Kirk Hamnett

298
00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:22.359
and have a discussion all about the
Floyd Rose tremolo, you know what I

299
00:25:22.440 --> 00:25:26.000
mean, Like, you know,
they were he was that guy. He

300
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:27.839
wasn't you know, there was this, and there was this, and he

301
00:25:29.000 --> 00:25:32.200
was he was on that path.
And I just feel like it was inevitable.

302
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.440
I don't feel like I don't feel
like it could have ended any other

303
00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:41.079
way. Now that's just me though, Like I don't know, very very

304
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.319
iconic person, and I feel like
he definitely he I feel like he definitely

305
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:52.039
stood up and could stand among the
elect as far as some of the most

306
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.079
iconic musicians you know, to step
into, you know the world of music

307
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.440
or whatever. You know, like
like Elvi Stared. Look at Elvis.

308
00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:07.400
Elvis had a fucking phenomenal career,
right, the dude was on top of

309
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:15.160
the world. Actually was helping the
government, right like he was the real

310
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:18.960
deal. Like you could be like
it's not really conspiracy because he himself admitted

311
00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:22.920
it. You know, you know
it's an excellent FBI documents that he has

312
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:29.720
helped him. Yeah, he had
helped him and his career kept going and

313
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:37.799
kept going and kept going until he
kind of just you know, there was

314
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.200
I mean, I just feel like, like, what would Elvis have have

315
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:49.200
What if he was around today,
would he still be as what do he

316
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:56.680
call it? Like, h impactful? I guess as he was? You

317
00:26:56.720 --> 00:27:00.680
know what I'm saying there, Like
if he still here, is he a

318
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.599
special? I guess right? You
know that makes sense, Like there's like

319
00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:08.039
shooting stars and there's like because it's
like the end of it. H you

320
00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.680
know, it's the end of it. It can't ever happen again. Yeah,

321
00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:15.519
Like he comes in, he fucking
destroys, and he's gone before you

322
00:27:15.519 --> 00:27:18.200
know it, and it's like,
man, he really made a big old

323
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.599
impact. Yeah. I got one
for you, Tyler, I got I

324
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:26.720
got a music conspiracy for you.
I think you'll like Before getting too I

325
00:27:26.799 --> 00:27:32.440
just want to like say, okay, I threw out the whole Courtney Love

326
00:27:32.519 --> 00:27:37.480
being the CIA agent. So if
that would be the case, do you

327
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:44.920
feel like it's the government like with
how Kurt Kurt was, Like, I

328
00:27:44.960 --> 00:27:48.960
feel like that was the whole thing
is is that he was disrupting the status

329
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:55.200
quo in a way, like Hause, he he voiced his opinions about everything,

330
00:27:55.359 --> 00:27:59.599
which everybody does that today, especially
oh God, social media. Like

331
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.759
they do feel like we are living
in part of the world that he wanted

332
00:28:03.519 --> 00:28:10.440
yeah to Like so yeah, like
what I'm trying to say is love it

333
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:15.160
or hate it? Do you think
it's a a possibility that they would want

334
00:28:15.240 --> 00:28:19.920
him go on because of his like
especially his his reach in that time,

335
00:28:21.319 --> 00:28:25.240
since there was no social media or
anything, but he was a huge star,

336
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:30.079
like the martyr thing. Yeah,
that's that's kind of like a I

337
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.839
mean in a way when you look
at the look at the grunge revolution,

338
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:40.119
look at the kids involved in it, and you know they do the cliche

339
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:44.119
quote all the time is like,
well he gave a voice to that generation.

340
00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:48.440
He kind of did. I mean, because he was part of it.

341
00:28:49.599 --> 00:28:52.720
He was sitting there saying like,
dude, we're not fucking happy with

342
00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:57.000
this, we don't like this,
this is bullshit, you know, you

343
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:02.599
know what I mean, and then
people lashed onto it. So I mean,

344
00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:04.960
if it if it really was a
hit, you know, like it

345
00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:08.000
was, Hey, we're taking this
guy out because he's inciting all this,

346
00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:15.200
you know, disorder wouldn't shock me. It's just I just feel like,

347
00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:18.079
you know, I don't know.
I still feel like it's great, like

348
00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:22.400
reaching a bit, but it wouldn't
shock me. We're not ready for peaceful

349
00:29:22.440 --> 00:29:26.599
people. You can ask JFK and
Martin Luther, King, Malcolm X,

350
00:29:26.680 --> 00:29:30.079
you can ask all them guys about
that. We're not ready for that.

351
00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:37.319
Obviously. We can't handle people trying
to make a difference. We're like,

352
00:29:37.680 --> 00:29:45.240
oh, it sounds good on paper, but you know it sucks. I

353
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:48.279
mean, that's that's kind of that's
kind of Remember I said this on a

354
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:53.400
previous episode. Man, the only
thing we worship is money. That's what

355
00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:57.279
we worship here. Say what you
will, say, anything you want about

356
00:29:57.359 --> 00:30:00.839
religion, anything, you can claim
it all all day long, to your

357
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.359
face is blue. We worship the
dollar. This is an economic country.

358
00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:11.799
That is our deity and that's always
our bottom line. Yeah, we live

359
00:30:11.920 --> 00:30:15.880
and die by that dollar, absolutely. And the creption thing is it's going

360
00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:19.640
down in value almost every day.
That's the shitty thing. I think our

361
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:26.599
currency is gay. It's going into
the realm of what is it like pay

362
00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.559
like pace like like pace, its
like value wise, like isn't a dollar

363
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:40.599
worth a thousand or like I might
be out of like I think it's I

364
00:30:40.640 --> 00:30:45.720
think right now our dollars work technically
around the world like eighty cents maybe maybe

365
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.960
less than that. It's like and
you even said it. They took it

366
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.839
off of it when they started doing
this whole currency thing. It used to

367
00:30:56.880 --> 00:31:00.119
be, uh, it was like
the equivalent of of your gold, like

368
00:31:00.160 --> 00:31:04.839
you trade in your gold and like
this could be traded for gold or something

369
00:31:04.920 --> 00:31:07.839
like that, the equivalent of it. But they took that off. Now,

370
00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:12.200
yeah, it's not that's not on
there anymore because like shit, you

371
00:31:12.240 --> 00:31:57.279
can't just take a dollar and get
up like m
