Hey, Dad, how are you doing?
How's it going?
What's up?
What do you want to say?
Is this me?
Yeah, hey, we have another caller.
His name is Edgar.
What's up, Edgar?
Uh-oh.
Yeah, hey, I had some very bad news.
Wait, are they both on?
What's up?
Wait, what?
It's a party line.
Conference call.
Conference call?
I don't understand.
Okay, I had some, like, very bad news that I heard today.
That Ryan, the singer of my band, was hopefully accused of a crime and facing up to 60.
Whoa.
Yeah, we want to listen to the good album.
Oh, yeah.
Wait a second.
Hold on.
There's a cross-phone thing.
I think we have two callers on the line.
Yeah, we have two callers.
We're on the party line.
Nima's dad wants to know.
My dad wants to listen to a good album, and some guy wants Ryan out of jail.
Yeah, this is really intense.
It's like a weird dream.
Next on Mari Pubbage.
Okay, Dad, we're going to play some music right now, so we'll get that covered.
Thank you for listening.
And then, Edgar, your friend's in jail.
Tell us what's up with this, Edgar.
What band are you in?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What band are you in?
It's not like a joke, right?
No, no, no.
What band are you in?
So, like, I was just calling you guys to let you know that I'm going to be, like, setting up some benefit shows to raise some money for him and hopefully get a couple miles.
Yeah.
And hopefully he'll get out pretty soon.
Dude, for sure.
Yeah.
Yeah, please let us know.
Falsely accused is no good.
What's he falsely accused of, if you don't mind?
I don't mind us asking.
Of robbing a...
Hello?
A store.
What are you...
He robbed, he robbed, he robbed, like, a bank.
Shit, is this the guy I framed?
No, he didn't rob it.
He didn't rob it.
No, he didn't, but they said he robbed a...
What did he rob?
A video game store.
A video game store.
What?
Man, that's...
Who would rob a video game store?
You can download games for free.
Yeah, you don't need to rob a video game store.
They even have surveillance photos of him, and it doesn't even look like him.
But they're still saying...
But it wasn't him.
Hey, does he have a lawyer?
Does he have an alibi?
Not yet.
Not yet.
He was with his girlfriend.
All right.
Did she take any camera phone photos of him and put them on Facebook?
We also have another caller here, too.
Hello?
No, she's not in yet, right?
No, not yet.
All right.
Does she have...
It was from New York, but...
Hey, who's this again?
This is Edgar, right?
Yep.
Okay, Edgar, we're gonna...
Hey, so many wizards can help you out.
I know a lot of lawyers.
Buddies of mine.
Buddies of mine.
So you email me, so many wizards at Gmail, and maybe we could hook them up pro bono, you know?
Word.
Let's help them out.
Word, word.
And maybe we could, like, play a benefit show.
Give us all the facts, though.
Yeah, that's what I was planning on doing was, like, hooking up a couple of benefit shows to raise money for them and stuff like that.
All right.
Thanks for letting us know.
Good luck.
Good luck, man.
Good luck to your friend.
Yeah.
I mean, we'll do what we can.
Hit us up.
All right.
Cool.
Thanks.
All right.
Cool, man.
Thanks a lot.
I wonder if it was a GameStop.
Probably.
It was probably, like, a Blockbuster.
Do you guys, have you guys ever been to that video game store out in, I don't know what it is, like, in Sun City or something like that?
I don't know.
It's on the 210, and they have all these classic, I don't even know what it's called.
They got all these classic games.
We should rob that store.
They have, like, Super Nintendo games, and they have NES games.
We should.
Oh, damn.
You know what we missed?
We missed a call from New York.
Oh.
New York.
Hey, call back.
New York.
Call again if you, if you, if you did.
Yeah, if you're listening, please call back.
We're awesome.
We're awesome.
We're awesome.

We dare you to call New York.
Hey, listen.
So, we're going to play some So Many Wasters, so what do we got here?
Well, okay.
This is a, this is a track that is going to be on our upcoming album.
It's called Moon Glow, and, you know, I hope you, I hope you enjoy it.
Did you know the moon didn't really glow?
It's just the reflection from the sun.
So, we're going to hear that.
I know that.
I found out after.
Ready?
So, yeah, we're going to play Moon Glow.
Yeah, Moon Glow.
Is that first song, second, third, fourth track, or?
What do you mean?
That's first track.
Oh, first track?
Okay.
This is, yeah, the first track we're playing, but it's, you know.
All right.
So, this is So Many Wizards.
Here up in your tower.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I saw your eyes glance right at mine And quickly back to the person you were talking to I stood right there cause I was scared Like I was having fun when I was young You came out into me You came out into me And I fell right into the things Right into the things You smiled so kind and held my hand And led me straight to the corner of the mountain Right around you kissed my lips And I fell into you Deeper in my present days You laughed out loud and ran away For me to never find out who you were I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew I knew And we're back up in that tower.
What was the name of the song again?
So people know.
That song was called Moonglow.
And it's on our upcoming LP that we're actually.
We're still working on.
We're still working on.
We're going to go to the studio right after this.
We're still not sleeping.
Yeah, I've actually been recording for all day in various different places, borrowing gear from people.
Just fell into a daze.
Yeah, basically.
You got your own studio?
Not really.
I'm borrowing a rack from my friend Ryan over at SideSkills.
He's a really.
Dope guy.
And my friend Joaquin's letting me use his mic.
I really need to invest in my own stuff.
But yeah, it's coming along good.
I'm really excited.
But that song is done.
So what you just heard.
Awesome.
Do you guys have any shows here in LA soon?
Very soon?
Yeah.
Well, we don't have any more LA shows until we come back from the trip.
And we have that string of residence shows.
We're playing in Long Beach, actually.
We are playing in Long Beach this Friday, though.
This Friday?
Yeah.
Where at?
At the Aquarium of the Pacific with Batwings Catwings.
Oh.
It's going to be really dope.
Oh, Batwings Catwings.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like behind the.
We're going to play behind the, you know, the whales.
Oh, that's going to be awesome.
There are going to be squid dissections, too.
Last time I was there, I was 12.
What was that?
What was that?
Last time I was there.
Between.
This is the weird.
We got the itinerary today for the show.
Oh, yeah.
And between sets, it's like Batwings Catwings plays.
And then there's a squid dissection.
Yeah.
Display.
And then we play and then get this.
There's another squid dissection.
Nice.
Actually, no, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I got it wrong.
There's a lecture on animal reproduction.
So, you know, if you guys are into dirty stuff, get there early.
Seven forty five.
At eight, there's a squid dissection.
At eight fifteen, there's a Humboldt squid talk, which I guess is like a bunch of stone squids just like, I wish we had ink like octopuses.
And then Batwings Catwings plays.
And then there's a squid dissection.
And then so many wizards plays.
Are you ready, kids?
Nine forty five.
But the thing is, the kids aren't allowed to go.
It's 18 and over.
I know.
I don't know.
I guess I guess adults like squids and stuff.
Yeah.
I don't know how young you guys are.
But I know Japanese couples.
I could play with squids.
You're right.
You're right.
All right.
So we're going to play some more.
So many wizards.
Oh, cool.
So we got like three tracks, right?
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Let's just play them on the row.
And then when I come back, we.
Yeah, let's just play them on the row.
I think the next one is one that maybe that was on the seven inch that came out that we released last year.
Right.
And then and then the third song is also another song on the LP.
And, you know, and then just you're going to enjoy it.
I hope you enjoy and feel free to call.

sound Dude since I I know you for a couple years He's in a band called It's Casual And the band is Hold on let's back up You've known me longer Than a couple of years Yeah yeah Like maybe what A decade A decade Yeah Yeah we'll go back It's a long time Yeah it's a long time Okay And it was crazy So now these dudes Just making some killer videos With this guy From the camera From Jackass That's nice man Yeah yeah You know what We have a new video out It's for the song The Red Line Hey talking about the video A lot of people ask me Hey is that video When he's like Rocking between the seats Inside the Red Line Right How do you How do you make that shot happen Like Did you guys rent the I asked him the same question In the elevator Oh did you Okay yeah You just go in there And just start Well first you walk in And you tell everyone Get out No one's sitting there No I'm just kidding No we're very polite And respectful to everyone We would do this On weeknights It's like Sunday night Monday night Tuesday night After like nine Ten o'clock And you know There's people In all the cars At the end On both ends There'd be no one there So you know Rick would be And Donald Andrews Who assisted Rick He would be at the end Right Down low And just be pulling The balance move And Donald would be Holding the ghetto blaster With the CD playing And I started To sync it properly Nice And I would be like Walking towards You know him Over and over and over Hey I'm thinking here Right now You're telling me That this guy Is the one that Shoot the video And he's good for it Because when you see Jackass You know those angles And where's he He's just perfect You know Right right And when you see The video And think about that Subconsciously It kind of You see a lot of that Perspective of his How do you Come out about Like writing about The red line Well The reason why I write About the red line Basically I have a new album Called the new Los Angeles one Through the eyes of a bus rider And That's one of the things In my everyday life I live in downtown And I work in Hollywood And I use the red line To get around Between Hollywood And downtown To go to gigs To visit friends Do business work So It's a big part of my life And a lot of people I think Don't realize How easy it is To get around LA Or you know On the red line Because while the 101 And the 405 Are not so nice I'm just underground Like a demon Just Getting from point A To point B And The reason why I call the new record The new Los Angeles It's because To me It's the new Los Angeles Because I see it Through the eyes of a bus rider Right I see things I'll be I'll be on the way To work in the morning Doing work emails And I'll say That's a great skate spot I never saw that Right You know Or Look at There's a blank wall I got a friend That does graffiti I'm gonna let him know Where it's at You know So I try to keep it real Like that And Keep my eyes and ears Closer to the street And The reason why The record's called The new Los Angeles Because I mean I'm born and raised here But I see Los Angeles Through a different perspective now Yeah You know Right Yeah me too I mean Ten years ago We were just playing Like down Down the Like Sagittarius Valley And Little few Little Places in LA But it wouldn't be like Downtown you know Right Downtown is different We're doing this show Live from downtown Right now we're in Downtown Los Angeles Yeah we're right in the middle Right In the Mecca Right here At Skid Row Studio La Who was that?
Was that someone else Inside Lee?
Or was that Lee?
The studios Are live Are you possessed?
No I'm not Are you okay?
Do we have a call?
No no we don't Alright You know I take public transportation A lot too Okay And it's definitely A different perspective Like it is definitely More real You have a different Perspective of cities Oh yeah Yeah yeah And I noticed I went to New York Last year And they don't Just to get in Just to get into the platform You have to have your ticket Right I mean you have to You know Scan it in It's like magnetic Whatever Right And we have those Turnstiles here But we don't You know We don't use them So it's like a gamble It's the honor system It's the honor system So like Like yesterday for example I was getting off the train I got my bike with me And the sheriffs Were trying to check tickets Like all All aggressively All crazy It wouldn't have to be like that They would just Set up the Turnstiles Or you know Make some more free days too Encourage some free days Because some people Have never ridden the train You ride your bike too Right Frank?
I ride my bike And I drive dude I think Public transportation Here is like It is But see It's amazing We're sitting Arms distance From each other Because that's my message Like you know Through my music You know I've been doing this band For ten years We've been an LA hardcore band And you know We used to play With your old band Back in the day And it's morphed Into what it is But for instance You know That's the whole premise It's like It's First of all It's not hard I think And when you look at When you look at The Redline video That's directed by Rick Cossack It makes Taking public transportation Pretty damn cool Doesn't it?
I mean Easy And to get from LA To North Hollywood And all the neighborhoods Between You know Civic Center Which is like By City Hall Pershing Square 7th and Metro Vermont Beverly You know LACC That's the Santa Monica And Vermont Stop Los Feliz I think over here in LA You know what it is About It's easy Public transportation People take it for granted You think so?
Yeah I don't know why Compared to New York People love their cars in LA No yeah That's the deal You can't get them Out of your comfort zone So people Are stuck on the freeway And they're in their comfort zone For an hour and a half That's what I'm saying When I wrote that song Saying the freeways Are not so nice And name checking You know The freeways To get from From get to LA To get from LA To downtown Yeah From downtown LA To Hollywood It's 15 minutes 17 minutes Lee I drive the 405 Every morning Tell me how bad it is Oh I mean I could That's a fuck It's awful I mean from Hawthorne To like West LA 45 minutes Right guys Over there Yeah I've calculated From the place I live now To my job Right I've calculated How many Miles I've taken You know Money through Friday Public transportation It's a little over 100,000 Fuck In the seven and a half years I've been there Now here's the kicker Right There's this pass Called the easy pass And I That's one of the songs That's track 10 On the new Los Angeles Part one That's gonna be out On March 13th There's a song called Easy pass It's $84 a month Right And When you divide that By 30 days It costs $2.80 a day To travel unlimited So I could go from My house in downtown To Hollywood And then go to my Rehearsal studio In North Hollywood And then go all the way To Whittier To visit mom and dad And come back To Boyle Heights downtown And that's for $2.80 a day So imagine You drove an SUV And you're like You're like I drive an SUV What 20 bucks a day Average I spend about $80 a week Yeah Yeah Drive a lot Yeah Yeah But I mean That's the thing There's The way Angelenos are programmed It's like Oh well Public transportation I don't wanna get on that bus Sucks But there's even A lot of bus lines That run 24 hours And Are frequent So frequent You don't need a time You know what it is too It's You don't wanna wake up That super early to go And wait You know what I mean But you don't You don't have to no more Yeah Exactly Yeah I guess it depends On where you live Cause I've I've lived in In the SGV Oh well that's The service is horrible out there What is it?
Sangre Sangra Sangra No Jose I don't know what that was I think it was some chip A chip crumb I was coughing up Yeah and And yeah Comparison Now I live In here in downtown I live right off the blue line So yeah for me Yeah so for So for me I can I can I can Take the train 10 minutes Right So if I wanted to And that one does run Until midnight Or even 1230 a little bit later But So I'm with you Yeah this is I think this is a message And I think with the other Pass you're mentioning Can you also go on Different lines Well yeah The easy pass People don't know about that That's like Yeah see You can go on different lines Yeah The cool thing about the easy pass Is it's good for MTA Subways and rail systems All the buses And it's good for Montebello bus line And Torrance bus line Foothill transit Yep That's it So I think I think OCTA Also Orange County But my Foothill it's like 210-605 It goes right through BP bro Yeah Yeah And it goes all the way To Montclair Yeah All the way to Montclair Because I take the silver streak Oh yeah I know Because I visit I visit family in La Puente Damn they got names Silver what That's the one that goes By your house man The silver streak The silver streak Has internet connection Yeah I use The wifi while I'm riding Lee you fucking drive You just drive Drive Yeah I just drive On my silver Little blue And I get here I call it The piñata shuttle Oh okay To depart Every Wednesday From That's a cool message man That's a really cool message The piñata shuttle Yeah That's a really That's a really cool message Thank you I got that too When I saw the video When I saw the song Originally Because Lee had the He had the posting up Advertising the show And I was like Yeah the red line You know like We should all be Taking the red line Fucking video I mean like I gotta check it out I had it in my head Right You know what's funny Thank you thank you You know what's funny is You saw us play La Sita Yeah Last Tuesday We did a show Dude I was gonna ask you Wait You don't take all that gear On the red line right No No I showed up on the red line I practice what I preach No but check this out Since that video Has surfaced We got a lot of views Rick Cossack has it On his YouTube channel And this other place This other video channel Called Blank TV And we're over like 16,000 views right now Also on Dick On Dick House Yeah Yeah yeah Just a month And we're over Just a month Yeah Wow January 8th It posted And Funny thing about it is A lot of people that don't know A lot of the LA Underground Or don't know about us They think There's I've gotten you know Emails and messages Saying hey you know Are you guys a fluke band What's the deal Can you guys Do you guys actually play Two piece What do you Come on What do you think you are The White Stripes The Black Keys But Lee saw us last Tuesday Right Okay you're a drummer No I'm a drummer right And I saw his drummer And I know the other drummers You've been through Like I know And the drummer is just It's amazing how he gets the sound I mean Because you're playing Fucking loud as hell You have like Two gigantic cabinets You have like Full stack and two bass stacks Yeah It's like This guy is like A fucking slayer Well yeah Wall I'm trying to bring a gangster Wall of sound A wall of sound Yeah well it's gangster I'm bringing I'm bringing all the homies Nothing casual But my homies But my homies Are the amps You know what I mean So bring your earplugs Yeah To the show Yeah bring your Yeah Don't pin your ears So I mean So Lee saw us for the first time In a long time Yeah Let's hear some Let's hear some But I knew you always play loud And yes yes We're gonna hear some right now I'm getting So what we're gonna play right now It's what do we got here The Red Line Yeah the Red Line The Red Line Alright so this is It's casual It's casual Playing song Called The Red Line Here Pinhata I I I I The freeways are not so nice The I-5, the I-10 The freeways are not so nice The Q-10, the 645 The freeways are not so nice I-5, the I-10 The freeways are not so nice The red lines The red lines The red lines The red lines The red lines The red lines The red lines The red lines I-10 to 6-05 The freeways are not so nice I-5, I-10 The freeways are not so nice I-1 to I-1 I-4 to I-5 I-3 to I-1 I-4 to I-1 I-4 to I-1 I-1 to I-1 I-1 to I-1 I-1 to I-1 I-1 to I-1 The A-10, the 2-10, the 6-0-5, the 1-0-1, the 4-5 The A-10, the freeway, and that's what it is The red line The red line The red line The red line The red line The red line The red line Wow, that was great Thank you, Lee It's casual here at Pinot Tower, that's amazing We were just talking about the new Expo line That's the thing we're talking about, supposed to open this year Yeah What's that about?
It goes SC It goes through SC to all exposition Westbound, I guess Kind of like Southwest What's the last stop, like 3rd Street Promenade or something crazy?
I think it's Santa Monica Santa Monica Nice, that's going to be cool That would be nice, right?
You know, what you were saying, what Turtle was saying is key about public transportation in Los Angeles From the city to the water, it's a lot more frequent Because I live in Boyle Heights, it's right side of, you know, first east side city over the bridge And the line 18 runs 24 hours And that's pretty convenient Yeah I mean, it just keeps going downtown LA all night, all day, all morning And you don't even need a schedule, so frequent You know, as it gets into the wee hours, like midnight, 1, 2, 3, it's once an hour But then you can connect with all the subways and everything, so it's simple to get around When you're in Whittier and Pico Rivera and Montebello and City of Industry and Baldwin Park It's like once an hour on weekdays It's pretty bad So the perspective of people taking the public transportation in those areas I could imagine why they don't like it Because it's not as easy And when you go down to the subway, it's frequent Yeah Every 12 minutes or whatever Yeah Well, I think it's really cool I think it's a really cool message Thank you I like that song I think I'm going to download it and play it when I'm on the 405 Just gun it And then text me when you're actually on the freeway And say, you know what, you're right It's awful That's all I'm looking for Just to give it some more feedback Yeah, I just think being a cyclist, especially I've been a cyclist for a long time, so I think it's really cool I've been a cyclist for the past about five years I mean, I had a car recently, but I just got rid of it Because I wasn't driving it And some people probably saw me posting it online But I really, I saved so much money, so much headache I mean, I've had, I had one accident, you know I had one accident While on your bike?
Yeah, but I'm still not Intimidated I'm not intimidated I'm more cautious I actually now want to make like artwork That kind of says like, share the road And these type of messages Exactly Just to be like, you know Yeah, just because I'm on a bike doesn't mean that You shouldn't be careful when you're going around me Or that type of thing, you know So I think it's connected along with that Talking about bikes Before we run out of time The FMLY Yes, yeah, the family group, yeah Yeah, they're like about bikes, right?
