Hey Adam.

0:01.1

Yeah.

0:01.4

How's your computer doing?

0:02.5

Oh, come on, man.

0:04.2

Sorry.

0:05.4

Couldn't help it.

0:06.6

Wait, is that the intro?

0:38.6

I'm not Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the you'll hear at podcast. Daily jazz advice coming at you. We have fun. We have fun. So if we keep that, well, we have to keep that intro because we're not redoing it. No. But that's always funny when we stop and one of us thinks, oh, we're going to redo the intro.

0:38.9

Yeah.

0:35.2

Which, now, that part we occasionally do. We don't really edit anything else. No. I mean, we... Unless there's some kind of legal reason we have to edit. Yeah. Right. We do... Yeah, unless we give away personal information to friends and family, which we've done before, live on air. But if we improvise everything on the show,

0:37.6

obviously it's not scripted or else it would be much, much better. Well, at least tighter at least. Yeah, yeah. But the intro is when we're specifically trying to be funny or witty or throw the other one. And those are usually when it all goes off the rails. Yeah. But you know what? We never do more than, uh, two or three. 100. See, we scripted that. All right. Good. What are we talking about today? I forgot. Oh, seven. I don't have my computer. Seven, what? So what's happening a little behind the scenes thing? Adam's been having some computer problem. And he keeps... Ryan, go get the bourbon.

1:28.3

He only, he refers to him, he refers to it as a computer problem, like there's something wrong with his model, like it's old, or like there's some sort of defect in it.

1:37.3

Yes, he'll say everything. And then occasionally he mentions what is likely the main culprit, which is that your cat threw up on your inside of your computer. That perhaps is why it's malfunctioning. But you just sort of blame the world for it. My computer is all messed up. Apple, way to go with your old model, you know. I can't blame the cat. Cats too much of a part of the family. I can't get that.

2:01.9

Oh, that's exactly when you blame. What are you talking about? That's when you blame them hard when they're part of the family. No, what happened was is I, you know, I don't know if you know this, but I built a little writing studio for myself down in my basement. And I left my computer open because I was writing late into the night. and the cat likes to sleep there on the chair by that computer.

2:00.5

A little catnap, which is why my computer open because I was writing late into the night and the cat likes to sleep there on the

2:18.4

chair by that little cat nap, which is why oftentimes my bottom is covered in cat hair. Right. When I come

2:25.5

into work here. Bottom's covered in cat hair. Your computer's covered in cat puke. Well, yeah, the other night,

2:29.6

the cat just decided didn't like whatever went down and it came up. So your cat's more of a Windows PC kind of kind of guy, apparently. I mean, I cleaned it up, but, uh, I told you got to open that bad boy up. Let, let all that puk out. Oh, I'm about to open it up. Open up something. Anyway, uh, yeah, shout out to Apple. For your non-pute, your non-pute proof. Yeah, if someone could come up with a cat puke-resistant MacBook Pro, that would be very helpful for me. Thank you. So, okay, so today we're talking about, we're going to give the folks, we're going to give you good folks, seven ways to improve your soloing. You know, sometimes we fall off the rails, and then we like to come back on the rails and go next level.
