Oh

Oh Okay, sitting here with my boy Dak, and I am now calling him another Austinite because he's

officially moving to this area. I hope it's okay if I say that on there. It's got to happen.

Okay. The trajectory is clear. It's pretty inevitable that the move's happening. I'm here all the time. I'm visiting all the time. I'm working here. I love the people. You're here. My boy Mickey Willis, the crew's here. Might as well get a place here. So many rad people have moved here recently, too. I mean, there's a lot of rad people here. Mark over and I, we're mutual friends of Mark. You know him very well. Mark is here temporarily. Temporarily in air quotes. He and I were talking last time. We were both staying here temporarily for a very long time. Yeah, exactly. And that's what happened with, I don't know if you know Mike Cardamone. He has the account called Don't Slap Snoose. I actually interviewed him about urine therapy. It was such an awesome episode. Love that. It's also because he's a comedian, so it makes it

even better. But he was also coming here temporarily. They call me P-Poc for a reason.

Peapok. Man, you're such a like multifaceted, talented dude, and this episode could go so

many directions. And I'm pretty stoked for that. Yeah, every, every, every spider. Let's go octopac. Yeah, optopac. Octo. Octop. That's what they call me because I play all the instruments. You do. I asked you just before and I've asked you a number of times and I think you said you play like all of them, 20 instruments. I won't say all. That's like, okay, but you could probably pick up instrument you've never played before. We counted over 20 something one time.

Like what's something you can't play?

I haven't messed as much with the wood wins, for example. Okay. You know, I mean, I could. I just haven't spent time with them. I feel like just, and this is not a me thing. me thing. I think, I think in general, if we believe we can do anything, first of all, as a premise,

I'd say that's a premise that everyone is willing to take on or could take on. Then we just go from there. And then we spend time practicing and figuring out and course correcting like throwing a free throw. Throw basketball and it's off and you adjust. So if I was to pick up a flute, I would do the same thing. I would go, this isn't making sound. I would adjust it until I got sound and I'm like, oh, now I got sound. Let me make the tone better. Let me course correct. Let me keep pivoting. And I think that's my application to learn anything. And I think if we just have that on, I think anyone can learn anything. Yeah, I think especially with you too, given that you have like that muscle memory at least when it comes to, I know these are not

similar instruments in this regard, but they are instruments that you're using your mouth and you're using your hands at the same time, saxophone. And I've seen you play that. I play saxophone. Yeah. Yeah, and you're fucking badass on a saxophone. Sachophone clarinet, those kind of things. Flute involves a skill of creating this blowing down the right way.

Yeah.

And I just haven't spent time with it, you know?

But I've blown into a wooden flute and made some sound. Flute involves a skill of creating this blowing down the right way. Yeah.

And I just haven't spent time with it, you know, but I've blown into a wooden flute, made some sound, just have to practice it. Yeah, and you got some instruments here that are tuned to 432, which... 432 is a... we can get into frequency for sure. That'll be epic, that'll be epic. So I think it's appropriate to start with your journey of coming into being an artist.

Because I know it's appropriate to start with your journey of coming into being an artist.

Because I know there's also some other threads we'll pull on with respect to health, sovereignty, and things like this.
