Okay. I was like a word I would never use. I'm finding that I'm incorporating it more and more into my day-to-day conversation. How can I select subsidiary to this?
Hi. Hi. Look at us. Look at us.
What is this? I'm just saying it's crazy. Can we tell people what's happening? This is like the time and what's going on.
Oh. It's just goofy. We don't do this very often. Explain it.
Okay. So it's Friday evening. Going back in time, guys. I know you're listening to this on Monday, meaning music Monday.
But guess when we recorded it? Friday in the evening, early evening. I haven't had dinner yet. But this is just a theory.
It's just the two of us. It's just the two of us. It's so odd. Make it dinners when we can try.
Oh. And three. Affirmative. Okay.
Yes. Yes. Yes. God.
What are you going to play? I had my cheat sheet. Now it's gone. Where'd it go?
Oh, there it is. I don't even need the cheat sheet. The rain has washed my dog away again. The closest to a breathing thing I'd call a friend.
Hope the next wave brings a violent time. It's been so cold and lonely here. Ever since that cloud appeared. I'm just a wishing the lamp would shine.
You're fiendy. Peace of you. I'll find a way. Proper to blow.
Cause care about the way you stand. It could look nicer if you had a few bones. I'm waiting for the tree to cry. I blow a kiss as the mountains wave by and the turtles are running free.
A blind man's gotta stick. No. The blind man's gotta whip. It's more fun than that.
Watch they keep out of carrot. But he still can't see. You know I'm waiting for four to six years. May I hope to pierce me through.
But then I couldn't bleed. It's sunshine and wiggle chest high in Mountain Dew. Only so much to endure. Only so much space here on my skewer.
I accept your second billing. That magic goat. All I want to know baby. Is that a flow?
Does it float? Does it float? I have two questions. Oh, okay.
I'm glad that you invited me on your podcast. Welcome. Yes. To Ron Preshins.
I have two questions for you. All impressions. Yes. Okay.
Number one. Is the name of that song? Does it float? Yes.
Yay. Okay. And then number two. Is that your song?
Who wrote that? Jane Masquez. Wow. What is that from?
From the very first album. What's that album again? Dinosaur. Oh, right.
Right. Renamed dinosaur. Okay. The one with like the sun thing in the cover.
Exactly. Mm hmm. Yep. Weird.
Cause now I was there for like all of those nights. I think in New York and I can't remember that song. It's a bit of a different version. It's an intimate version.
Yeah. Did you sing it at the show? Oh, I sure did. I don't remember that.
I sang a bunch of songs on the very first time. So, junior record, Jay kind of like assigned me the songs. He wrote the he wrote everything on these songs. It was amazing.
He composed the whole first record and enlisted Murph and I to play it. And I had several songs that I was singing lead vocals on. And it was my first time singing in the studio. And the songs were really pitched really high for me.
So I have a hard time listening to the first time in the record because I'm just my voice is so high and I sound I was so confused during those sessions. And Jay was so amazing in those sessions. He was he was he was he was he was he was on fire. While every other channel is fighting for your customer's attention podcasts are where they've already given it.

Fucking great. They're really funny. I feel like I want to have them printed on a wall so I could just like walk by him and giggle once in a while. Like the lyrics are so good.
I don't know. He was a freshman in college at the time. So I don't know he had like writing classes. So I don't know if he was inspired by his writing classes.
That's my only theory because he never you know the he never his lyrics were never quite that whimsical. That's very whimsical. After that first record, the lyrics are you know so good and so funny. Blind man's got a whip.
It's more fun than that white stick. He bought a carrot and he still can't see. See there's things about that like the lyrics of the song like really reflect his sense of humor. Like they're very funny on a lot of the songs and to this day I still imagine that whimsical person when I see Jay.
I know that he's capable of these because it was just it was so mind blowing. I had just graduated from high school. I think I was learning the songs even when I was in like the latter part of my senior year in high school. And I was trying to get into shape.
I wanted to be desirable. So I was running and when I ran I would sing the songs to myself to remember the lyrics because there were so many lyrics. Yeah. That's a lot of words.
And I had to sing and play bass and it was like a really it was a real tall order for me. But I was training. I was training. I was really up for the challenge and looking back on it I think I was probably a very fine specimen.
I think I was like kind of ripped. And but I you know I my uh my self-esteem was not so great but I wasn't a cool rock band with a cool guy with cool hair and uh he dressed cool. He wrote really fucking funny lyrics. Can I ask one more thing about that song?
Yes. Um what what what is the thing that floats? Commencing. Oh okay another song?
Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Yes. Wow. Okay. The way word wins they blow me here and there with the sand.
Crying on your shoulder. Crying on your shoulder. Crying on your shoulder. Do tell.
What's that? That's a song called Boulder and it's from the second iteration. The second version of the Freedman by Sabado. Oh okay.
Okay. Here. Let me confuse you a little bit. Yes please.
After we put out the original Freedman cassette we then offered a record contract with Homestead Records. Okay. So I thought the first record we should put out was would be an expanded version of the Freedman tape that I did last week for mini music Monday. The Freedman tape.
Yes. Yes. So we added songs to it became this really more of like a 45 minute vinyl LP. Uh-huh.
And that song was on it. Did you write that? I did. I wrote that actually when I was probably like still in high school just around the time that we started DICE or Junior.
So that was something that I wrote but I didn't think that playing it now. I'm like that's a pretty good song like the melody's good. Yeah. You know.
What's that called? You know the way you're playing the the guitar like the sound of that um chord or that that yeah that what is that called? The chord? Yeah you know that like.
This is an F-sharp. I mean the little chord. I mean like the um. F-sharp figure but it's actually I'm tuning down to C.
I don't know what that's called but like um that that chord progression or that is that correct? Is it like that? That right there? Yeah.
Is that called a chord progression? It is. So did you make that up? I did.
I think it's really good. You know what it kind of reminds me of? And I know it's odd that I'm saying this because I know actually so little of their music but. I mean Adams?
No. Super-Tram? No. Aria Speedwagon?
No. Kansas? No. I was thinking like Black Sabbath or something.
Yeah there seemed like to be that yeah that felt like moody. Oh right. Really moody. I hadn't thought about that song in a really long time but then when I was playing it doesn't float I just started playing that and I'm like I like that.
I used to play it a lot. Yeah. It's kind of a goofy song it doesn't make sense. It is goofy.
It's goofy for you but you know look at Young Lou writing but the chord progression I find actually very um sophisticated and cool and unique. You know it's like oh. J's were. Look at you.
So what floats? Well interesting. At the time that we put out that record we were watching David Letterman like David Letterman was a big deal. Yeah.
You know. Yeah. Mid-80s like watched him all the time. We're kind of obsessed with David Letterman.
He was like he spoke. He was our late night guy. He was our guy. And he had a segment on his show called Will It Float?
Okay. He's like awesome. He was like oh here we got this thing. We got a huge tank of water and they tossed something and they say Will It Float and people guess.
And then he also did fun things like throw things off the top of skies. I often really tall buildings. Oh god. We're gonna throw a bowling ball off the top of the building.
No. You know what I mean? Make sure safe. Okay.
Okay. It's like a scary. It's gonna be the national broadcasting company so yeah they made sure this was all safe. It was that David Letterman was having had this goofy show in in the middle of the night you know or after the news you know 11 30 or whatever.
But he had a segment called Will It Float. So I think Jay was influenced by that. But we were very David Letterman. That's a funny stuff back then.
Yeah. You know. Yeah. Yeah.
Jay was funny. David Letterman was funny. I look funny. If you watch it on YouTube you can see my Justin Bieber, all a 14 year old Justin Bieber hair do I've got going on.
But the haircut appointment is procured. Do you procure an appointment? I always thought I was gonna be trying to use that word. You used it.
So I know I'm trying to use it. If you procure something you could hold it. I'm quite. I feel like I can hold it.
Could I hold that appointment? I'm holding in. It's mine. New bangs coming next week.
