Hello, I hope this is Phil. Yes, McCarthy. Yes, Scott Kuma. Oh, Scott, how you doing? Did you forget?

I lost track of time. I didn't forget the interview by just lost track of time. Oh, no, that's fine. Yeah,

if you need me to call you back or anything, that's fine. No, no, no, perfect time. Let me just let me put you in my phone while I'm here because I don't

went out of battery while we're talking. All right. All right. And I'll have it myself in a comfortable spot.

Was it. There's a cruise there. I'm actually starting a new job. And so that's why I lost it. Nice. What do you do for your job?

I'm a star as a police carrier. We're not post okay. We have a postal carrier on our show too. Oh, cool. Yeah. This is yeah. So I just had my like orientation. That's a great job for listening to podcasts and music at work. That's true. Yeah. Get a lot done. So do you do a lot of these podcast interviews?

No, I've done maybe one or two. The one of note that I've done though, I did a podcast, which included video with Phil Kogan. You know, the hosts are amazing race. Oh, nice. That was, that was actually just after I experienced my trans card.

And, and it turned out, I mean, he was in town. It was marathon weekend. Here's in town. Here's. And the person who's going to interview canceled. And I knew him. I basically met Phil through a friend of a friend. So, well, I just worked out. And that was pretty cool.

Thank God, we don't have to do video on this. So, right, that would be terrible. Well, and so now just for way, by way of background to the folks, Phil had asked if there's anything that I need to know. And I said that generally, I don't like to know things because then it sounds like I'm, you know, putting questions on a tee and saying, here you go. Like, I know what you're going to, like, I legitimately want to know you. I've had conversations like adjacent to you with a lot of people. You've come up with like, with Steve Tersey.

Yeah, or T's, you know, I mean, the guy that I didn't, I didn't, I didn't know you had interviewed Steve Tersey. He's, I love it. He's an awesome guy.

I've done Steve Tersey for probably 10 years. And he's been here and I've done races with him. And he's, I consider him a close, close friend. Just randomly, we, you know, we, I don't know if you knew those, the DFL Ultra guys.

I didn't know there was a group like a, it was a podcast with this guy Eric Sherman and Mike separato and Tersey went on there. Sometimes it was kind of like loosely connected to the trail animals. And, you know, so that's kind of like how I got to know Tersey was through all that.

Okay, I just met him with the races. Mostly I, I remember seeing the three days of the fair. And, and he's run my race a few times. So nice.

So what I do is I just kind of like look at your Facebook account. Just a little bit to see if there's anything that is interesting that I can like start talking to you about. And then I just figure everything else a flow out of that. And for you, I scrolled down enough to see that you've talked twice in the last.

Let's say six months about Olivia Newton John and Abba. And I was like, fuck, I'm going to go along with this guy. Just fine. You know, like I don't, you know, I'm a, I'm a big fan of Xanado.

I, well, that's one of the kind of like I got super crush on Olivia Newton John. And, you know, it's because 12 years old. And, you know, she's singing a song about making your dream and I'm a musician.

And so I can know I have always, you know, creative, you know, ideas and dreams. And she's singing this song, you know, about making your dreams come true. You know, and all this kind of stuff. So, you know.

Is that what's on your magic? Oh, magic. Okay. Yeah.

I mean, I went and saw that in the theater. I remember like specifically seeing it was.

Oh, I didn't say until came out on cable. I mean, it had the album. And I, and I actually, it's sitting here by living.

I just listened to it over and over and over again, sitting on the floor, you know, one of the old stereo high fives, you know, with the big headphones. And I just, you know, just, you know, go nuts on it.

It's one of those. I mean, it's one of the best soundtracks ever. I think, I mean, there's so many just ridiculous. Like, EOLO is never sounded better than, you know, like I'm alive.
