Oh, let's get to our bonus.

Our bonus is all-

Wait, wait.

Sorry, we got to just define us.

Make sure we remember. The bonus is the one reason, wait, sorry. Sorry, we've got to just define this. Make sure we remember it.

The bonus is the one reason you should start your own ban. Right. This is the one reason... We gave you seven reasons not to start your home ban. Here's the one reason you should. You ready? You ready for this? I love this. Okay. This is, by the way, it's a new territory for it. fired. I'm just trying to build it up a little more. The reason you should start your own van is all of

these seven reasons, but on the flip side. So let's go do them real quick. Exactly, yeah. So number one, we got money. We said you can make more playing with others. True. All right. But if it's you and you're a band. Right. You can rip off the band members and make one. No, No, no, no, no, no, no, but if you have any kind of success that you are going to.

Low money, low money, low money. Logistics, okay, yes, you have to deal with the managers and the bookings, but you get to decide on all of these things. You get to decide where you're staying. You can decide where you're playing. Prince Carlton, here I come. You get to decide all that. Steinway piano, 10 foot every night. Hiring and firing. Pain in the ass, no?

Well, you get to decide who's in your band and who's not.

Yep. Steinway piano 10 foot every night. Hiring and firing. Pain in the ass, no? Well, you get to decide who's in your band and who's not. Yeah, another power, control. Time. Okay, you do need lots of it. It's true. But wouldn't you rather spend your time working on your own music with people you love than doing it like digging a ditch right exactly building up your own name instead of

somebody else's that's right yeah decision fatigue yes you get to make a lot of decisions but you know

what the flip side is you get to make a lot of decisions that's right it's all you you get to

decide where this ship is being steered that's right you are the el capitan as we say number six

it's your name it's your rep yes if things go, it's your rep on the line. But if things go north, hello. Then you get all the glory. That's right, right. And then number seven, love of music. Yeah, you can't play the stupid wedding gigs that you have to have been playing in all these years. But you get to play your own music all the time. If you're hiring and firing with people you like, you get to do it with people you like. If you're deciding where you play, how you play, how much you play, you get to enjoy all of that. That's right. I love it. I love it. So it turns out that this seven-headed monster of an episode here, actually, it was like a seven-headed coin with

a 14-sided coin with

two sides to each of these. We are such

a layered podcast. That's what I love about us, man.

We're like a bad onion.

It's so deep. Too many layers.

So like you just scratch the surface and then there's

well there's nothing else. That's right. Yeah. Well, tomorrow.

You'll hear it.
