All right, Marco, I have a question for you. This is actually, this was posed to me in jest by my friend, our friend, Tyler, who went to Goose with us. And we were talking about Goose because that's a lot of what I do these days with anyone who will listen. And Tyler asked, at what point does Goose replace, or at the very least, augment fish as the pre-show music for live listeners

0:23.7

of the show and i would like to know the answer please i don't know if it ever will unless so here's

0:29.8

i thought not the reason why one of the reasons i play fish before the on the live stream before the

0:35.8

show is that i just have a ton of it. Now, I also

0:39.3

have a ton of goose. So that, that, that, that is an equal, you know, equal push there.

0:44.1

Um, the, the biggest difference is over the years, I have occasionally emailed somebody or

0:51.8

had a conversation with somebody who's like vaguely involved in the fish

0:56.0

organization here or there and i've gotten the impression that this kind of stuff they really

1:02.0

don't care about so like we're not going to get in trouble playing seven minutes of a live

1:08.1

fish recording that i bought on our live stream before we go live to a few people.

1:12.6

Like, it's not, I don't think anybody in the fish organization would have a problem with that.

1:17.5

I don't know the Goose organization. I don't, like, I don't really have an idea yet of whether they would have a problem with us doing that.

1:25.6

And it's not worth going through the like official

1:28.6

channels of like music licensing for, you know, because it's like like the tracks I'm

1:34.5

playing aren't even in those channels. Like I'm just, I'm playing like purchased live recordings

1:39.0

from like live fish. So like there's like so it kind of avoids that entire system, which avoids headaches.

1:47.8

That's an astonishingly and frustratingly reasonable answer to be completely honest, but I appreciate

1:52.8

it, nevertheless. That is actually fascinating. So yeah, if you're involved in the goose organization,

1:57.6

then you should let us know. For lots of reasons. I would love to know people involved in goose like that because I have a feeling I'm going to be a fan of this band for a very long time. And probably, if they stay together for the rest of my life, probably the rest of my life. So I would love to get to know anybody there who might, you know, who I'm, who might be able to work together in

2:17.9

some capacity or just, or just, you know, hey, I'd love to buy you a coffee if you're ever in New York, like anything like that. How would you, how would you work together with fish in some capacity? What capacity, in what capacity would you work with fish? Please enlighten me about your speculation. Well, if I ever make my JAMS app, so that's my tentative name for the app that I would make that is the jam band specific music playback app.

2:40.0

That would have, you know, features in it that would, that like, you know, listening to my live fish and goose recordings in just the Apple music app, it works.

2:53.9

But there are like organizational and experiential features that I would much rather, like I'd much rather work a little bit differently
