 Welcome everyone. Welcome to shooting the shit. Okay, uh open topic show Even though today is going to be a music night. Uh, I am here as you can see with my co-host Performing artist Paul Anthony manthia a clothing designer songwriter He does many things photography Greetings Paul greetings greetings, man In a crazy week But we're back to we're back to back to life Yeah, definitely Back to work again, you know Took a few days off man relaxed and saw work Seven days a week Almost, you know, 20 hours a day seven days a week two companies to run studio The fashion company Christmas is coming the holidays. So now that is just really hard to do things going in and uh That's a lot of things going on now We did we did good today, you know, it wasn't too busy today out there and we set up You know with the other vendors, I you know licensed and Everything whatever I need to be out there and but I don't really need the license because you know And the funny thing is to bring this up So this we set up and um, I've been telling these stores for the past I don't know God knows how well three four months going to them saying look We'll do a deal and I mean you you purchased a product for me. Put it on your shelf. You sell it. I mean But the problem is nobody wants to put that money up front. Oh, you could put it on consignment I said listen, I don't have to do consignment. I said and I'm gonna prove to you why I don't need to do consignment So I set up in front of somebody store a few weeks ago Just to prove them, you know, just to prove them a point So I set up in front of the store and the guy goes Or that it's not going to sell like that. It's not going to sell. I said just watch, okay I said give me literally I said give me two hours. Okay So the minute I set up, you know My wife she wanted to go, you know, she went somewhere else. I don't I think she went home for a minute and grabbed something and When she came back I had $200 in my pocket. She was gone like literally maybe 40 minutes at the most, okay And this guy in the store that I told him to buy the product from me and he could sell it at the same price I'm selling it for And I'm giving him a wholesale deal, you know, I normally don't do these things and You know, when you're giving a wholesale deal, I'm not going to mention pricing because that's confidential But that's what you're going to do a folk word But giving him a home a home wholesale deal And for him to sit there and badge and we tell me it's not going to sell when you know I'm sitting there going, okay, we'll just we're not going to talk. We're not going to argue We're just going to set up and show you because to me in this world actions speaks louder than words I'm going to talk shit You better be able to back your word up and I I do know it said And this I don't even know on this show because I don't really have time to check all the comments But I had done a show last week and it was one of my own shows and I didn't point the camera towards the keyboard And somebody said, oh, that's not you playing. I said, are you are you out of your mind? Or what are you seriously going to call me out and tell me that's not me playing? I mean, but I've been all over the world All me my entire life out there, you know, with some of the biggest stars in the world I'm not going to sit here and drop names, but you know I I do You know, you know what gives me a lot of energy when somebody does call me out When somebody you're going to call me a liar, but guess what? You did it with the tie die You know the the chinese company. I'm not going to mention their name because you know, I'm in the middle of you know Something with them right now because they had stole the trade market and died from me But that's okay because you're going to deal with them in the court of war You know, I mean, it's not going to play out. You know, we already got what we need But besides the point, you know, when they come out and tell me oh, he's not really dying that that's printed Nobody can die anything that bright and vibrant to make it look that damn good and shiny She said tie died can't be shiny like that. I said really I said I invented my own dies. I said, you know, I don't use the die product on the market I use my own stuff. I said, you know and you have no idea what you're talking about I said, so here what why don't you add me as a friend on facebook what she did And then I tagged her That morning that I went live showing everybody How I tie this shirt And then we went to the second step Well, we went to the first step for showing them how I score the shirts what I got to do to wash them before We even do anything to them when you buy your product and everybody can listen to this when you buy a shirt at the store I want you to do me a favor and do something. Okay Before you put that piece of that shirt on anything you buy black white But don't really try like the white shirts you buy in the store that actually in the package Buy that and then what you do is you get a laundry booster. Okay. It's called soda ash And soda ash is a laundry booster. Okay, what it does is it basically just draws out most of the worlds that are inside of the shirt That you don't see you got to think about this. How many people touch that shirt Before you put that shirt on your back. Okay, you want to talk about virus and covet this and that people got more dirt on their hands Then they do and then they do in their mouth because your mouth constantly cleaning itself unless you got herpes in some shit, you know But just think about it now if you're in china and you're making this product You think chinese people gloves while they're making your shirts and sewing them out and doing whatever they're doing Hell no They go to the bathroom. They wipe their ass. I'm sorry. You're gonna be blunt because this show is blunt It's uncensored. I'm gonna say what I feel and how I feel Because it's the truth So we're gonna make a long story short because I don't want to spend my time on this tonight, but Take the shirt you put you know, make sure the water's got to be boiling hot. You gotta have at least 200 degrees, okay 200 degrees of water boiling no till you hit 200 It doesn't matter how hot it is, but 200 is normally the amount that I put in, okay You put a cup of soda ash into two gallons of water Take those shirts that you just bought in the package and stick them in there, okay But if you really want to see the effects So look your bathtub halfway And put those clothes in there. You just bought at the store, okay Give it a half hour and I promise you after you go back in that bathroom You're gonna gag because what you're gonna see in that water and smell You're not gonna believe it, okay Because now you've got to think how many people had that shirt touched before it made it to the store And then how many people at the store took that shirt out of the package and looked at it And you don't know if they took it home and bought it and then bought it back They don't wash nothing that you get just remember that nothing is washed My water every time I buy these shirts and I put them in the tub and I wash them and I I do it three times because I want every bit of dirt out of the shirt Who the hell wants to dye a shirt that's full of dirt? Because then then the dyes better people wonder why is my shit coming out looking like this Why does the color off why did this all you know? but It depends on the dyes you're buying too, you know the only company I would I'm not even going to suggest them because I don't even deal with them, okay But let's just put it like this It literally looks like somebody took a shit in your water And that's what it smells like after you wash these clothing that you just bought at the store So all these women want to go around going. Oh, I'm so clean. Oh, I'm so OCD. Oh my god. I'm keen They want to do all this crap But then when I bring this up to them and say did you wash those underwear before you bought them the other day? Let me show you another I Detailed information and did a pair of underwear that I bought at the store that for women's underwear in a package And dropped it in the water right in front of them and left the camera on and let them sit there watching the water turn black And when this girl seen it, she goes, oh, shit. That's the one on my shit. I said, yeah Yeah, your coachy your coach. He's getting that. Yeah, that's right. Think about all those fingers that touch. It's like money It's like money. Think about how many people touch a dollar bill before you get it. It's the same damn thing. Okay So when you buy from me, you know, when these customers come up to our tables, okay And they buy from us they they can feel the quote the first thing they do I notice that they're feeling the floor they're feeling the fabric to make sure it's not this Okay, have you ever bought a t-shirt that you could see you know a t-shirt you can see right through the fabric Squeeze the show You know I'm saying you could look right through the fabric on a thin three t-shirt When you buy when I buy my t-shirts, you can't see through the fabric because it's thick 6.5, you know ounces of cotton Double thread and I'm saying it's sports fit. They're fitted shirts You know, they're made by gilding And you know, they were they got different brands like I get the g 5000s because g 5000s I I love them and as I said again, I I wear them myself and When the customer feels and they go wow, these are nice I mean if you go to the market These ladies every single woman at shop and they got to touch every fucking piece of fruit on the rack Like yeah, let's say their nectarines. They're gonna squeeze everything Get your fuck. It's like it's like a child like the two-year-olds have to touch everything, you know And I I believe what you're saying They were so money, but it's true. I mean it's not even believing I show I'll send you the videos that you can post here. You won't believe it You know, but that's not even it and then you've got people Even the clothing that are loose now That they hang up now you have people coming up And they take the call can I go try this on sure? And then you got the next lady. Can I try this on now? You've got 30 people that just tried that on Out of those 30 people how many of those women do you think actually showered and took care of themselves? You know, they're elderly. They think some of them smell really bad Every one of those bakalas are up against that garment And what's my point about this whole thing they want to talk about virus and this bacteria and all this shit, but you know what? You're getting more shit on you and on your body And then that virus is giving you because you already got Chinese, you know juices in your you're ready for the juices All right farthog does the question Hey, rock and paul. Hey, what's up doc? Are you doing that the professional doctor right there? He I believe he holds a phd. He's right. That's right. He's a gastroenterologist in midtown Manhattan He says like we'd like to have educated people on the show because You should even put them maybe put them on as a guest one night If he doesn't mind being on on camera someday We could block out his face if you don't want that on you know, no, yeah, you don't have to show you you could turn your You just don't put a wine face on it. Please because everybody uses wine face You could use this avatar if you want and then you could talk And you know, you don't have to be i mean I mean the beauty of being on audio is you could be naked lying in bed and do a live show You know, did you ever play at the paramount in in huntington station for dr. Asks Hunting hunter. What's the question? Hey rocking paul. Did you ever play a show at the paramount in huntington station? Unfortunately, no, I didn't get the chance to do that You know like the tories are weird because when I was touring with billy president, you know I mean I can understand they bounce you around like one day you're gonna be in california doing a show And the next day they sending you over to france You know, I mean then you're there for a couple of days and then they send you back to california or florida And then the next you know three days from there you're back overseas again So it's kind of like you bounce around back and forth because you got to think there's different dates and everything You can't think it's just really hard for them to settle things because you got so many concerts going on, you know But um, no, I didn't get the chance to play that one at the huntington station All right, maybe, you know, I don't know if it's going to be possible now You know, but all the new new york crazy laws they got going on, you know Yeah If a restaurant listen if a business lets you into their store And they and you do not have a shot This is the new new york law and that goes for every business including clothing stores grocery stores everything If you don't have this shot guess what? And you go in that store, you know what they're doing to the store over now They immediately get a five thousand dollar fine at their court And every time they do it they'll get a five thousand dollar fine so now Now they're making very bad for people out there and i'm gonna be straight up. I have not taken the shot I don't give a shit what anybody says you could kiss my fucking ass because guess what it's my body And that's it and in the bible You know just read the bible. I'm not even gonna get into that into religion, but read the bible You know the bible evidently, I believe myself is written by mankind. Okay, mankind wrote that you know Nobody knows where what really went on back then, you know, you can play guessing games or you want, you know Listen, they bust it. They bust playing guessing games with this crime scene going on. You know, you can't guess They bark and guess, but Robinson about Robinson they busted cherries as soon as the girl had her first period back in the old testicle I mean testament Are you kidding me? Hey, orio worried. Look orio's glowing and under the black light. How about that? This is our new member of the family here. She's she's the she's the best man Hey, unfortunately, you know, she she was abused man, you know, we adopted her and I mean now she's great You know, she's starting to get used to everything but she was so scared when we got her And I I sent you that video the other day, you know her crying. She was actually crying, you know, I still got that I'll put that up Over you No, we got it. We got a good dog, man She loves the one thing I'll tell you is when I when I'm playing piano I play piano, you know When she gets nervous or something and the dog was literally sitting next to me, man And it relaxes her, you know, I'm saying It's like I noticed that music is great for animals, man They just relax they'll lay next to you and I'm saying if it gets a little rockish, you know, sometimes don't get A little nervous and they'll go sit on the bed or something But you know, I mean look, we try to run a happy peaceful home. That's it. You know, we don't want to deal with No, I work my ass off every day people have no idea the work I do, you know, it's like now people now people know Why she's called Oreo? obviously, so Yeah, they both they they had three different names from the dog sandwich I'm like, why would you name this dog sandwich like who don't you might put the dog in the sandwich and eat her And you know, I gotta be honest the ASPCA they they do things They're great there. They care about the dog, but they don't educate and they don't trade You know, because you know, I went in there With my hat on when I first met this dog and she literally showed me her teeth and the girl goes take off your hat I said, okay And I I didn't want to do that, but I took my hat off and she started getting comfortable And then I wanted to literally say which I held my mouth and shut and not say it. I said look I said it in a different way. I said, you know Because you make these people come in here and take their hat off because the dog is going to fight them Or something would have had on or whatever the case is I said you live we live in new york city I said if you take that hat off you're training the dog. Okay, everybody in new york city is not good They're gonna all look like that now that dog gets outside and sees people with hats on And she goes after them and starts growling or something and she bites one of them I'm licensed on that dog. Who do you think's getting the bill? I'm responsible, you know, I'm saying But why would you do that for why, you know? Yeah You understand where I'm coming from People really do stupid things in this world, man. I don't understand how they're not educated You know, why can't you just fucking read what you see read it. Don't read overlook it read every word Because you don't know your business. Look at all the comments you say on social media That's that proves how many brain cell deficient human oids are out there That proves it Oh after what I seen this week And and today I didn't even hardly comment, but after what I seen today my mind is just blown away I cannot believe how many imbeciles Are on facebook and how many uneducated people, you know, look go to school and learn how to read seriously Because if you can't comprehend what you're reading And you'll sit there make an assumption that something means what you thought it meant because you you Oh, I only looked through it. You know, I didn't really read the whole paragraph You have to read every single word because every word has a meaning remember that if you go to school You go to school they make you read every word If you don't think you're gonna assume that you know what the book said and then you're gonna go and answer the question You get them wrong you dumbass man If the super volcano at yellowstone blue They would actually be doing mankind a favor Because there's a lot of scum like my grandfather used to say schuma schuma schuma Okay I'm not playing yet, but you know, yeah, let me uh Do one thing Where you want me to play I actually had a couple My fingers are always warmed up Yeah, I'm gonna I'm actually I played a song the other I think on one of these shows I played it on the recording and let everybody hear so how about I do that one live And it's already copyrighted. I had that's that's a reason You know, there's reasons behind things I do why I don't play certain things because there are a lot of themes out there We know they're gonna want to take that music they hear a melody the next thing, you know They're they're taking the melody and they're doing whatever they want with it. Um you know just But this is it's more of this song here is more in the um I don't really know how to label it, but I'm gonna say I'm not, you know, I like every nice instance stuff like that You know, I'm really into that music, but these songs that I have right now that I'm going to play tonight There's going to be somebody two females and ones One is a star. Okay, and I'm not going to mention the name but we spoke about this James You know, I'm working with her hand on hand with a couple of other major major platinum Produces out there who have written for like Frank Sinatra and you know, a lot of different people I choose to work with sometimes the older crowd and when it comes time to writing, you know, because You know, they the people that've been on tour, you know, because when you're collaborating with somebody that's been out there You have a lot to like about there's a lot going on in the world, you know Of course, I don't knock anybody, you know, somebody has the talent to sit there in life But I don't have time to waste that's the problem. So we're getting back to this this album that I'm writing now The album I'm writing now is basically you know Yeah, hold on one second The album putting together now. It's it's it's basically, you know, this is it sounds like a soft slow song, but Remember, I'm playing it on piano now. So once we get it to the you know, I've written it to send it to the drummer Who is Chad Ziggler these these are A very famous drummer, you know, I think people will know me You know, he blew up when he was with breaking Benjamin and um, you know Just I don't want to go into the two to detail, but if you could give me two seconds James talk to them for a minute I'll be right back. I'm just gonna go grab a drink of water Okay My dog just sit down over here. All right, she'd like sitting there like waiting for me to play All right, so I don't have a title for this yet and I do have the words almost completed on this one, but As I said, I think think of like, you know, the rock genre out there, you know, but Jen don't think about you but you can pretty much imagine your head where I'm going to take this song, but But people really can't imagine because I you know, trust me. This is going to be a beautiful album I got two albums. I'm working on I'm looking at two years time You know, I'll be releasing stuff as we go. Hopefully by Christmas we could do a single or something. All right The West African genby drum used during the Mali empire All right, let me just turn it up a little bit The lighting is great for All right, so this song is a really slow tempo and the thing is, you know on this song The tempo changes so it's going from a three quarter into a four quarter, which is it's a very Flex, you know technical because I write when I write my chords might look simple, but they're not All right, so here you go We're ready. I'm gonna go do it I like to use a lot of classical Notation in there, you know, I like to You know when I listen to other people's stuff, you know, I I just like when I hear it You know, I'm listening to it. It's everything like sounds alike after a while You know, it's like everybody's out there trying to do the same thing So you know what I do is I restrict myself From listening to other people's music. I don't listen to the radio, you know I only listen to artists that I you know, I'm inspired by you know And but I don't if I'm gonna go and sit down and write that day I'll make sure it's three days before I listen to anything. My head is clear, you know So that this way I'm fresh and I'm getting on my piano I'm getting on my guitar whatever I'm doing vocally that I sing professionally, you know Whatever the case is my mind is clear I have the only thing I got in my mind is the melodies I got in my head I could like my wife will tell you I could sit here and literally play the piano for six hours straight With different melodies just coming from me not using anybody else's stuff, you know So and my whole my whole thing is when I when I hear a song That I like I want to hear a song that not only just the chorus is a good hook and it's a good catch I like to hear songs that the entire song is a good catch like the verse sounds great and is catchy And then you're going into a chorus that sounds catchy the bridge is catchy, you know, the whole song is catchy It's just not a song where when they play it on the radio, they'll play it a hundred times a day So, you know in the beginning you go, I don't really like that song Then you hear it a hundred times and now it's stuck in your head. That's how they market you But you know to me I like him to wear an artist is going to play a song one time and people are gonna enjoy that So they go, yo, that's a hit, you know, that's what I want to hear I don't want to put album fillers in my songs, you know, I'm on the album I'm not going to fill it up with just a bunch of garbage like the record Oh, we'll just fill this up with this on this on this on, you know, we'll make them like it We're going to nail it in their brains, you know No, if you're going to be an artist sit down and actually do the work like, you know Most of these big-time artists out there they do the work man, you know people think Oh, yeah, it's simple. You go in the studio you record a song get done. No, that's not true Most of these people that write an album could take up to three to four years. Are you kidding me? It you know, it takes time. It's a lot, you know, you got to remember I'm writing the songs, but I'm also writing an orchestration in my songs. I got an entire orchestra arrangement You know, I have to sit here. I write music out sheet music I could write everything I have all the programs now, which is great because I could come in and you know Sometimes the programs are off if I'll play, you know augmented quarter something sometimes that You know the program doesn't catch that and you'll see a couple of notes off You know when you're looking at the staff bar and I have to change that around myself You know, I mean because if I'm going to put sheet music out and I want other like orchestras to play my music I want all that, you know arrangement there, you know, I want the sheet music there in parts and sections So that this way to conduct it can see what's going on. You know, I mean that's important when you're writing Yeah, now far doctor has a question. Uh, who inspired you rock and paul as an artist? All right, we'll get back. We're gonna go way back. My dad was popper joe man to you the jazz drummer for Play with miles davis. He was with david bowie. He did a lot of stuff out there, you know And this is back when I was you know an instance and You know Let's put it like this. I think I was about I mean, I know that, you know, there was always instruments around our house, you know, and My brothers, you know, you used to buy us the plastic little instruments when you're kids, you know, I mean They don't want you to get hurt whatever the case is But I was rocking back then and I I mean literally shredding the guitar at 12, you know, so And you know, to me, yeah, it's great to be a shredder But if you don't know the basics and you don't know like to me my father was a jazz musician, you know, he played everything But he always told me if you can learn how to play jazz and you can learn how to read this music And you know, because a lot of kids don't want to do that. They're like, I don't want to learn how to read I don't but you know, I was always into it I sat there and listened to everything he said, you know, and I learned how to read I mean, you know, it's been a while, you know, I could look at sheet music read it as far as sight reading these days I don't really need to sight read because I can sit there and listen to anything I want and play it It doesn't matter. I can hear something and I'll play it. You know, I just stopped playing the song I mean, you know, sometimes, you know, you got to figure out some notes because they're very distant to hear But you know, I figure them out, man, you know, that's it I'm all about writing the album, getting it done right, you know, bringing Instead of doing my, you know, like violins and cellos and stuff on the keyboard This is where we do We bring the artist in that knows how to play these This one has to, I do know how to play this but the problem is it The bridge when they when they endorsed this to me And my cousin Vincent Mantilla, you know, he was a cello player from Manhattan Symphony Orchestra to Philharmonic You know, he's busy these days, but I have to ask him about this because The bridge on this and I also am friends with, you know, a big company that makes, you know, antique I mean, they got violins that are like, you know hundreds of thousands of dollars But I haven't had the chance but there's something wrong with the bridge. It's not proper and then I The bow the bow I ended up using it on my guitar And playing it on the guitar because, you know, use a bow on the guitar because I want that a different sound And the horse, I think it's horse hairs. They use the hairs they they popped So it didn't work on the metal strings. I mean, it's I guess it's more for this I I think they do sell it like that but You know, so this is what we want to use. We want to use live instruments real instruments I don't want to hear like programmed this and that. Oh, I sampled this in the song and I did this and I No, see I I grew up learning See when I grew up, we didn't have all this equipment, you know, we I was using I know you remember it So remember the little cassette players they had you put the tape in and you push I had eight of them, okay Because the reason why I had eight is I wanted to play different instruments on different tracks and you know Back then I didn't know too much about recording equipment. We had a reel-to-reel But you know, that was something my father didn't want me touching that, you know, it was his pride and joy And what I would do is I would record my guitar track on the first tape player And then I'd have another empty tape on the other one and getting that ready while the guitar tracks play And I'd be laying, you know another guitar track down and then vice versa You go to the third recorder you're doing the same thing now you got those two playing and people would say How can you know when to start them together? I said because you know, I don't I don't know how I did it I don't remember how I did it back then but It worked it worked and you know, how did I mix it? My grandmother ended up went by me a recording system eventually and you know, I had a nice studio at the age You know, I don't know god man like 11 12 years old had a nice studio You know 10,000 dollar studio. She invested the money. She said, you know what? He's so talented that he never had a lesson in his life to get behind the keyboard and play like that I jump behind the piano start playing, you know I was playing like that when I was younger man, you know, and she said for somebody the fact that we didn't have any that you know, but I guess it's a it's from being around music your life, you know I mean when you're around musicians and you're around family that place my dad didn't want me to do this He said go be a doctor be a lawyer. You're smart man. He goes you can I said, listen, but I that's not in me I want to do what I want to do. I don't want my parents forcing me telling me what I want to do You know, I said I'll be successful with this. Don't worry. You know, I mean, you're my father We got the pledge, you know, and I was successful, but it didn't happen overnight It did not happen overnight. Trust me, you know, it happened. I had every day of my life That's all I did is my friends back then will tell you my family will tell you I didn't want to listen to anybody They go, yeah, listen, man You're not going to make it. It's one in a million. I said, you know what one in a million Don't feed me that bullshit. I said because if you want something bad enough, you'll get it But you have to work for it. Yeah, if you don't work for it It's not gonna, you know, some people get it handed down to them. They got a connection Oh, he has hand me down. It didn't really work like that for me. You know, I was playing in the Concord Hotel You know, back in the Cascual Mountains, Kiamisha Lake, a lot of people don't know it because it's gone now but that's when my father was playing in the show bands out there big show bands, you know and I was playing with my band in there one night and you know Ringo Starr and Billy Preston They were in the house, you know, and it was the uh It was on the all-star band And they were in the house playing that night and you know the management with there is a big night I mean huge a lot of people packed up that Concord, you know And I was in a place called the night owl on performing with my fans And during showtime we don't perform because the show's going on but after the show we were performing and You know, I was up on stage and guess who walks in so, you know, everybody knows Joe Walsh So he walks in because a lot of famous celebrities hang out there, you know I mean, Andrew Dice Clay hung out there, you know, that was his hangout All big people even Donald Trump went there, you know, they were all there He was looking to buy the place and build casinos back in the day but Sullivan County, New York didn't want casinos because you know the old old 80 year old people We don't want that coming here.

Beautifully. They had beautiful piano studio everything there nine bedroom house I mean right in hollywood man, you know, I mean So, you know, that's how I got started and and I took my life from there and I just got moving and moving and moving and Yeah, piano shape pool man. Piano shape pool, you know, olympic size piano shape pool with a mansion beautiful, man All right, I forget it You know, he played he played on the you know in the let it be album Do you know that billy pressed him was the one that was playing piano on the roof In france, he's the one that played let it be on the roof with them and he was the first black artist To ever perform with let it be and you know on that album with them and the only black artist that perform with them And they consider him the fifth Beatles, you know, and a lot of people don't even realize that and I mean A lot of the artists they know it but the people that are out there to fans. They have no clue man, you know, like It's just You know, I'm grateful and I'm I'm blessed to have met and and had the chance to meet Sure, like big legends. I tore with buzzy linhardt. Gotta have friends. You remember that song he wrote I tore with another person died named peri robinson who was A clarinetist a famous clarinetist. He was in his 80s, you know And I was working over in whole folk in new jersey with him at a at a school He was actually teaching at and I would go with him every week and I'd meet him and I'd go out there with him And I'd help him out, you know, and I'd be performing on guitar with him for the kids, you know It was great, you know, I worked with a lot of people man is you know, I enjoyed my life back then and Was there a song called a friend in need is a pain in the ass I don't know. I don't think so. No, all right. All right. Let's do some jazz well You want to play jazz? I mean Contemporary tonight, you know And yonkers about three years ago, I got about 20,000 hits on the video man a lot of playing I play a lot like normally I spent about five hours a day, man, you know Something that hasn't been put out yet, but we wrote this I wrote this in Billy Preston the studio and um I didn't get the permission actually to write it and put it out man and to use the words I just you know, I mean full connection with the uh Family members and you know, so That's what I'm gonna do tonight on that song because I'm still working on the other parts But the song I wrote with Billy Preston. I was out there, you know and told him and you know But I'll be honest though in the beginning Don't think that the minute we got out there on tour I was right up on stage. It didn't work like that And I'm not I'm not like embarrassed to say this, you know, but I was kind of like the towel boy You know in the beginning, you know learning the ropes because I was still in the studio learning the songs, you know, and you know, I kind of like I wasn't a gopher, but you know when Billy was on stage, you know, and if he was sweating or something I'd bring him a towel. I'll bring him a drink of water. You know, nobody ever You know, they don't really consider doing things like that, you know, it's like you're up on stage You're sweating the death, you know, sometimes, you know, the management they don't handle that shit and I mean it's fucked up You know and the drunk life out there. Thank god. I didn't get heavily involved like that when I was out there I only cared about my music, but you know I'm not gonna speak of anything, you know About what went on with him, you know, I mean, but you know, god rested his soul He passed away in 2006, but look, I have one thing to say about Billy. He gave me that chance, man You know, he saw my talent. He believed in me. He he gave me my break out there You know, and you've got to be learned to appreciate other artists. You can't say oh, I'm the best in the world You know, there's there's artists that I You know, I look up to like Ellen John, you know I look at the people that you know that that music back then when they used to drive it out the Lionel Ritchie, you know, Billy Ocean people don't even listen to this stuff You know, yeah, but they added in their songs, but they they're sampling stuff But they don't even know who the hell the artist is, you know It's like, you know, at least do research on the people that put these songs together because back then music was different Music, you know, how you know, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the music today But it was different that it felt like it was more feeling put into the music, you know If you listen to Elton John, he doesn't sound like Billy Joe, you know, I'm saying, you know Like today you'll listen to Justin Bieber and he sounds like somebody else You know, it's like you're all doing the same rhythm, you know, it's like this is the rhythm They got out there. I was playing this rhythm when I was five years old. Listen I mean, come on, it's a great rhythm. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm not knocking it, you know, it's Stuff like that for a young guitar or whatever So it's like, you know, this is more of a show of a learning show to me, you know, you play You can play these things on acoustic. I don't know if this is doing the night, but You know, it's like But what I'm trying to my point is is when I listen to an artist, I don't want to hear you sound like another artist I don't want to hear in your verse another artist's verse. I don't want to hear, you know This artist taking a melody out of somebody else's song and you're using it in part of your song Oh, this is going to put it in this half of the sentence and then we're going to change you here If you're going to be original be fucking original man, stop stealing people's art start stealing their music, you know And be original create your own shit because guess what the artist that are behind the scenes like us right now We can hear everything you're doing, you know, it's like you're cheating you're stealing from people That's not an artist. That's not talent But I you got talent, you know, that's it. I hear that all the time. I hear bits and pieces of everyone's music Well, that's why I don't put nothing out until it's copyrighted because I don't trust nobody. Yeah I won't even put a brand new song out when people go. Oh, please. Please. Oh, can I hear them? I know you got a new song you're working on please No, hell no when it's copyrighted and it's done I don't want to put bits and pieces of song out when it's copyrighted and done. That's what you're gonna hear That's it You know, I'm not playing that shit. I know how I know how people are, you know I it could be it could be the beginning of the song. It could be lyrics melody it could be any, you know A lot of them, yeah, yeah, they don't take any part of your song It don't matter, you know, and they think because they only use two chords and oh, it kind of sounds like it, you know But it doesn't really sound like it but we can change this note around to make it sound like this, you know That's why I don't listen to the radio. Like when I'm recording and I'm in the studio You don't ever seem, you know, I won't seem to do that Right I just kind of like keep a fresh clean mind when I'm not listening to other people's stuff so that I can focus and trade on what I'm writing And I'm not writing somebody else this shit because I'll ask my wife have you ever heard this? So I'll even take the song and put it into google, you know, you can do that now You can actually post the song up in the google and it'll tell you if there's a melody out there like yours And I said, you know, I like to be sure and check it because I don't want to sound like nobody else I got my own sound. That's it, you know So give me two seconds james talk to them. I gotta take an intermission Back to these messages I guess james took a walk too Yeah, you should hear paul on the electric guitar, man. I think you some of you have heard him Yeah, maybe you could do something mostly Like like something that sounds like santana black magic woman or whatever whatever depends what I have in here because I'm working on different projects in here right now and Let's do what I have in here. I'm so excited So much stuff in here I have absolutely no alcoholic beverages in the house for a doctor. I have nothing. I have to go Get me some but I wish I wish they sold But we do keep it around here. Hold on It's good if you ever, you know, if somebody has a cold I wish they sold individual But the crowd the crowd world man crowd world Because uh, yeah a good uh single mall Scotch whiskey, you know, uh If you know, just just in case you're feeling under the weather, I guess Or you could First lemon wedges into A light Something like a vodka or gin You know, that's good for colds. I bet you know the actually alcohol extract the medicinal I got it. I got a track. I have something I can definitely play Ginger don't forget ginger slices. You can put that. Oh, yeah, and here's the other thing now Now listen a lot of people they tune their guitars to standard tuning. Yeah I don't tune my guitar to standard tuning, man My my guitar is not like, you know drop C and then they then they got dropped T I tune there's two strings on my guitar, which I'm not going to say that I tune One gets tuned flat and the other gets tuned like sharp And it gives a sound to my guitar that it's just amazing man. I love it and people go, you know Why why you know like why when I play my guitar and I'm trying to hit that note that you're playing understand the tuning I can't find the note Don't give him your stickers don't give don't I don't give you my I'm not I'm not telling you You know, I'm not going to tell you what I'm to be a switch So you can go and take that and you know, if you're if you're a guitarist You're a keyboardist you can figure it out for yourself But you know a keyboardist can figure out the note and go oh, you know, but whatever Oh, that's what he tuned the string to they can figure it out. You know if they slow the song down But you know, whatever But I'll play just this is the track that I um put together on You know with the drums I had done from somebody else I did the bass here myself, you know guitars organs, whatever I played on it, but I'll do the lead part in there, so You know, I'll play the lead and I'm not going to stay too long tonight because I have I have to work.

That's not the problem The problem is it's no matter how cold it is The artist that's going to put out their energy is going to sweat and it doesn't matter because You know, you can be on in a freezing room if you're you're playing and you're feeling that music you're gonna sweat It's almost, you know, it's the energy that's coming out of you. You know, I'm saying So it just it all depends on artists just Depends on the artist who the artist is, you know, what they're doing how they perform We you know, everybody's different in the world. So You know, I know when Chad gets up there playing them drums, man, you know When he's killing it up there for staying man, you guys sweat your ass off, man You got you know, you got shit dripping off of you like crazy. That's because that's because they're on the bright lights Oh, forget about it, man. The lights are killing you I used to have like when I go on stage, you know, right in front of me I would bring like you remember the metal fans the round metal ones the good ones We would put one of the you know, they're they're they're warehouse fans, man Nice put it right in front of the stage and the fan be blowing up on me You know, I mean so this way I wouldn't be sweating but sometimes you're not always in front of it You're gonna walk away, you know, you know, you're you're an you're an extremely high energy when you're on stage, man That's it. It's just like there's no No, oh, yeah, the psychotic trolls they have no life. Honestly, they really don't think that they're sick in the head They're not happy unless they sabotage other other people in their lives I'm just Well, the the the new the new setup with the camera and the lighting is is really great. I mean it really is You can see Everything Oh That's shredding I took the echo off for a reason because somebody said something else to me He goes, can you shreds like that without the echo on I said He said because the echo in the reverb kind of like distance out the sound so I can't really hear what you're doing I said oh, yeah, hold on a minute, brother Look Hey, look, I'm not showing off but I am showing off but it's my part enjoy the music is my love that's it, you know Bravo, bravo. It's good. It's good to be multi talented man I I am like I like I said, I'm blessed that I'm gifted to be able to I could play the piano. I could sing I could play drums if I wanted I have you know Drummers that do that. I I can program the drums on the keyboard, but you know That that track that you just heard that was done by, you know I'm not gonna mention the guy's name that till we released it, but You know, it was done that was done by a jazz drummer, man You know fusion jazz one of my dad's old buddies, man, you know And he dropped the track for me. I laid the bass part down He said oh man, you could fucking play bro He's like you could slap that bass man. He goes. It's so clean and crisp He goes and then the piano and all the B3 organs I dropped in there. He's like beautiful, man He goes, you know, I he was more than honored to you know, lay the track for me, you know He laid it. I said that we'll work out the royalties and the credits, you know, and that's it You know, we'll release it and release it as an inch. I have an instrumental album I'm also working on too. So, you know, I have an instrumental album coming out I got sax players coming. I got a nasty violinist that I'm working where she's over and you know When I'm right, I don't mean nasty to nasty way like that. I mean when I'm saying she could play You know, I'm saying she's over in the UK So soon, hopefully, you know, we can get everything gathered together and we can start doing live shows with other people Actually performing I have to set all that up, you know, that that's where I'm not mechanically inclined when it comes Talk to this video and streaming. I mean, I not hook all my stuff up But I don't know how to get into where my board is interacting with Like the board being directly plugged into the internet system And you can't ask like, you know, when you when you get into the softwares You try to call these people they don't answer man. You can't even get an answer You have something wrong with your equipment. You've got to figure the shit out yourself. That's it You know, so the great thing is when I first work all this new stuff, you know, I wasn't really familiar with the new softwares I was having serious problems man I mean the board wasn't working or the software wasn't interacting with the board This wasn't in sync my mini wasn't in sync and it literally took me like three months And I said before I go live and before I have clients come in I said I need to learn my new equipment So I learned every single thing about my equipment. So if anything goes wrong I automatically know what's wrong now You know, I mean because I've had so many problems in the past that I learned From those, you know, those mistakes, you know, even reading you can read all you want man And sometimes they don't even specify you can look things up online. Why is this going wrong? It doesn't come up So they leave it to you to figure it out yourself. You know, I mean And then sometimes the problem's also well also on the software, you know The software gets updated and all of a sudden your software has glitches, you know, and you're sitting there going, wait a minute You know why the number one thing is to me I don't ever and I never will have any latency in anything because the board that I bought It doesn't have latency It controls the latency. I don't ever never never never never no latency at all It's all dead on I hit my keyboard I say something, you know, this is this is running regularly, you know, it's a audio but MIDI the piano I let it MIDI because I want to get all the sounds off my computer. So The minute I hit There's no latency So, you know, I remember having a system back in the day where I would hit the freaking keyboard And we take, you know, literally like three to four seconds to hear the sound that we hit it And then you go think like what like are you kidding me? so You know this time I said to myself I'm gonna, you know us well back then, you know, it was because of the software they weren't like, you know Software wasn't that great back then, you know, but now I said I'm going to spend the money Because why why go buy something that's, you know, not going to do what I needed to do And spend all that money because you're going to be cheap When it comes time to studio equipment, you can't be cheap man. You can't you can't just go I'm gonna go buy this hundred dollar machine and I'm gonna be a superstar tomorrow. It doesn't work like that, man The equipment is expensive is hell. It's not cheap, you know I mean wiring wiring alone. I mean I got like 300 wires in here, you know for everything i'm running And the wires some of the wires cost 100 bucks man with the gold tip on it, you know, it's not cheap It's like so if a wire goes bad, you think i'm going to go and buy an x1 no I'm mechanically inclined. I'm electronically inclined. I went to school for it, you know And I learned about electronics, you know, I can actually take my my wires and redo them, you know So that's the best thing about it the wire goes bad for what I do is I don't I take care of my equipment if I'm gonna roll up a wire I roll the wire properly so nothing bends and nothing breaks inside the wiring, you know And I learned that back in the day by you know Mistakes I made when I was on tour by you know, I would just throw the guitar cord right in the box, man Is that you know, you constantly do that and eventually it's not gonna work anymore And you're gonna get buzzing and hissing and now fuck that It's so clean here the quality is amazing No, I believe it. I believe it now far thought apparently there's a new scam for all in new york Have you ever go to a restaurant that charges a covet charge now on top of the taxes and what? Are you kidding me? I need to hear about this. Tell them to type we need we need information on this. Wait, wait We're gonna do a show on this tomorrow I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna start doing chisels hall of shame again consumer Advocacy this is this is an out-and-out rip-off Really? On covid surcharge What what what establishment charge? I think you should go fart on your asses. Wait a minute. What establishment? I'm gonna tear them to pieces. What establishment charge you were covered charge. What rest of my fart doctor Wow Talk about a scam Hold on. He says, um They automatically add that to the bill at most restaurants in manhattan you hear this Oh, yeah automatically add a covet charge To the bill I always knew manhattan restaurants were like a tourist trap and a rip-off, but this this takes a cake It is I mean I've seen a lot. I've seen a couple of things today and um I'm not too I'm just turning the light on so everybody can see me What a bunch of dogs. They are not. Well, I'm not too happy about it, man You know and it's like I I know that they're doing things out there And I think new york is the worst state that we can ever live in at this point because It used to you know new york new york before covid was the most beautiful thing happening, man Everybody was making money Businesses were thriving, you know people were happy. It was not as much crime. But that even court Now I wish they go on there now. I wish new york restaurants go belly. Well, they destroyed it and these it's not you can't blame it Now we got to think now Well, you you can't blame that on the restaurants because they that's illegal for them to do that I think I consider price gouging that's you know fraudulent to do something like that And if they try to charge me a covert charge I'm going to take the food and I'm going to throw it right in their faces And I'll probably get arrested and thrown in jail but you know Paul Don angie in the west village a place called don angie in the west village does it and seraphina Oh, wait, I heard a seraphina. Wait, where's seraphina? We're located Doctor hey doctor. Tell me where it's located Yeah, we're part of the city I know that restaurant seraphina.

I can't tell you probably what six seven eight months to do this one Yeah, let me put the black light on I'll show you what it looks like Let's shut this light off real quick. So here we got the black Right here. Watch this You see that? Wow Not every color glows because I don't want it like that. I want it to be very Different in the light. You'll see, you know, you'll see what you see Then in the dark you see like, you know, certain things glowing because There's messages in this basement a lot of them There was a lot of things going on in our lives during that time and there are faces in here There's all kinds of shit you can see so, you know, but yeah, I die I die instruments I die saxophones. I die brass. I die Metal I'll die, you know furniture. We can die anything they want Anything I get my hands on we can put dye on so that's it, you know, except for people I do have body paints that I've invented that glow They glow insane in the dark So, you know, those those dyes can be put on people And then I also have the kid's dyes, which is much different. The kids dies don't carry Toxic chemicals in them because you can't have children using, you know, dye with toxic chemicals You can't it's just against the law. You can get in deep shit for that, you know So, uh, I mean just and if they were using it, they would have to be fully gloved And they would have to be over the age of 10, you know, at least well 12 I would say at least teen 13 to even, you know, mess with those But I'm not planning on putting those dyes on the market anytime I learned that black Black light gives off a certain ultra violet wavelength. Yeah, it's uv reactive uv reactive Okay, so the uvs the reactives, you know, it's there's two different types of black light the one you just see that's an led black light The real black lights are halogen bulbs that heat up The it heats up and that's when you get your true color. See these black lights They what happens is it causes a glare on the instrument It causes a glare on the shirts But the heat bulbs the halogen bulb that heats up because you know, I used to have a big one The teardrop light it would take it 15 minutes to heat up in full blast But the problem with that is when the model was standing in front of those lights They'd be drenched by the time they were done just standing there 10 minutes because the heat is so hot and so powerful You know, but those are short throw lights, you know, I had long throw Short throw means that it you know short throw it can be far away You know, well no short throw is short close and then long throw is far away So and meaning that if you're 200 feet away that black light can still catch you, you know, I'm saying So light travels remember that but you know UV reactive light is much different than regular light So, you know, but it's the heat halogen bulbs are the best and I can't find them anymore You know, it's just like okay. Everybody wants to be cheap and make these led lights, you know Oh, they're more powerful. They're brighter. But you know what? Listen, you're not getting the true color out You're like it doesn't pick up certain colors And that's a problem when it don't pick up certain colors, you know, I mean Ah, yeah, but whatever this is good for now Eventually, I'll get the dear to light You know, I don't know if I'm gonna be doing fashion shows or anything like that Anytime soon with new york doing this shit. They're pulling right now. So Well, you know people people I I won't even do a show here. I'll do it somewhere where I don't need the shot Yeah in my house people learn people learned that being a model is not fun and games That it's an actual work They learn that for sure. There's that without it as some some girls out there out there think modeling is Is like, you know, no work at all. You just stand there and look pretty but no, it's work All right, so james, I got to get going it's 12 It was a great show. We're at an hour and 53 minutes and 41 seconds Wow already.
