This is Rick Rubin.

Hello.

I'm Roman Mars.

I don't know if it's going to work, but I just thought it was a funny idea because I've heard it so many

times.

No, totally, totally, totally.

So, Rick Rubin, tell me about your new podcast.

Well, I've been doing the Broken Record podcast for the last five years, and it was a really

fun experience.

What was most interesting about it to me was that I interviewed people that I'd never met

before, and that was fun.

But when I interviewed people that I know really well, that maybe I've known for 30 years,

I learned a tremendous amount about them.

And these are some of my best friends.

So it led me to have a better understanding of we really know very little

of the people that were around a lot unless you actually

sit down to interview them. So through that process of that experience, I thought, well,

it'd be really nice to do this with all kinds of people, not just musicians. And the

Broken Record podcast was specifically with musicians. and I'm interested in all kinds of

people making all kinds of things. That sounds fantastic. So who are you going to be speaking to

for the show? Well, I imagine I'll be speaking to directors, actors, designers, artists, or professional

wrestlers because I like pro wrestling.
