What do you say we rejoin the conversation with Adam, Mike, Sheila, myself and Joanie Pimentel? Here's part two of Fat Loss and Face Melting.You know, Joanie, one of our last few episodes was about fat loss. And it really ties into what we're doing today too because we're going to talk a little bit about your career as a musician, your career as a teacher and weight loss too but looking at your website nosmallchildren.com and I was trying to do a little research and learning a little bit about you before we had you in the program I love the very first line in the about section. It says, "Three teachers walk into a bar, onto the stage, plug their instruments in and then ... they melt your face." And [laughter] after watching all of you play through some of your videos you definitely perform some face melt-ers there. So, I love the way that all tied in perfectly.113 Fat Loss and Face Melting Part 02 - TranscriptJoanie:Adam: Joanie:Adam: Mike: Adam: Tim: Adam: Tim: Joanie: Adam:Tim: Joanie: Mike: Joanie:Mike:You know, I -- melting somebody's face is a common term used by punk rockers and metal guys. And, so, Tim you read on our website that we try to melt faces with our performance and that is true. But my face has literally been melted by doing this workout so I'm very grateful.Joanie, what do you consider your most face melting song?[laughs] You know, my most face melting song is the next one we're going to write, probably. I would say, it's the next one.Ah, as in like --That's a great answer. [laughter]It's also a copout. [laughter]Alright. Okay, now we're going to challenge you from this point back --It is a great answer but just give me one.Yeah. One you love to melt people's faces with.There's a lot of them. It's like being asked to pick your favorite kid.Well, you know, it's not going to be one of your ballads, right? So, come on. Narrow it down a little bit.One you love to do. Well, you know what, that's not necessarily true. That's not necessarily true. That's not necessarily true. I'm with her on that.Because, you know, most of my life I have been a soul singer. This is really the first project I've ever been involved in where I'm doing punky rock songs. To me the idea of melting your face is more about the intensity of your performance. And it has not so much to do with the tempo of the song but how you deliver it. And so there's been plenty times in my life when I'm singing soul music that I just pour everything I have into it in that moment. And that's for me what it means to melt someone's face, so --It's an intensity thing, just like slow motion weight training.That's right.Just like our workout.I was thinking more like Motorhead type melt.Adam, honestly, I was thinking more about slow motion weight training which is very slow and very, very intense.Yes, it is.Yeah and it totally melts your face off.That's right.And your fat cells as well.I totally get what you're saying regarding how you can melt your face off being a very soulful singer.That's right.Well, and the proof to it is if you look up Joanie's version of “Hallelujah”. My gosh, my face was melted when I heard that. It was beautiful and really depicts your amazing range as an artist.Thank you so much. And actually that was recorded for my mother who has been --I remember.Yes, who asked me one year in typical Italian mother way said, I don't want any presents this year. I just want you to record this song for me. I love it so much and will you please do it. I don't want any presents. So, I --I wish my wife would say that. Yeah. [laughter]When I write her a poem or a song, she's like, is that it? That can't be it, is it? You can't just come in with just a poem. [laughs]No, but I've actually gotten a lot of positive feedback about that.     Tim: Joanie:It's gorgeous.It's one...
