[INTRO MUSIC]

 

Joel        00:00:48 :

   You’re gold pony boy.

 

Britain    00:00:49 :

  Welcome to Beard and Brain, Podcast where we interview interesting people to talk about interesting things such as how to blend generational gaps and cultural differences and how we, the people together, can create a truly free press. I am your co-hosts. Britain C Griffin along with my other cohost here. Joel Hinton and this is our premier episode, episode, number one.

 

Britain    00:01:16 :

 Happy October, and welcome to Beard and Brains very first episode. Start with a little bit about your hosts here. My name is Britain C Griffin and as a humanoid, I’m an avid free thinker from a small town, just outside of Louisville, Kentucky raised by two hippie self-employed parents. At a young age, I was exposed to all sorts of ideas, people and businesses. As a recovering alcoholic, I am a huge advocate for self-help and the introduction of natural plants into modern medicine. I love nature. 

 

Britain    00:01:49 :

 I spend the majority of my time outside reading, writing, playing, and planting. I love acting a complete full and public, and I mean, a complete fool, which is why I’m rarely allowed to go into the grocery store. As your Beard at cohost. I live for life’s mysteries, hidden knowledge and mind bending theories. I vow to explore deep into the information cosmos and ask those edgy generational and cultural blending questions that weigh heavily on our minds. I met Joel what middle school? He had long hair, long Brown hair. And for what I remember the only kid in school with what seemed to be scruffy Beard people said he seemed to let resemble Jesus. I don’t really remember meeting him. We were always just there. Once our groups of friends started mingling Joel would you like to say anything a little bit to our viewers or our guests about how we met and maybe a little bit about yourself? 

 

Joel    00:02:50 :

  Well, I honestly don’t remember how I met and the only reason I really had long hair and middle school or whatever is because when you do drugs, you don’t groom. Those two things just go hand in hand. Um, I am not Farley near as interesting, but in short, I am an academic and marketing director for a series of radio stations in the Southeast of Florida. And I’m an asshole and yeah, really, I’m just kinda here to, I enjoy talking about complex ideas and, and complex thoughts and whatnot. And I honestly just like to pull, poke holes and to anything that I here and basically, you know, I’m like Steven Crowder has changed my mind all the time. Basically. That’s kind of pretty much how most of my conversations go. Um, but for you of my, I have quite a bit of life experience and pretty cool and interesting, funny stories to share and funny input to share, so that’s why I’m here. And today we’re going to meet talking with Jay the Unknown and then you’ll notice in that very nice fancy intro. We have there, we have the big NPR budget, hence the whole ASMR tone and the beginning of the Podcast. So we have an actual intro song and we are essentially interviewing that artist today. 

 

Britain    00:04:26 :

 Also we will be launching with this episode, our website, social medias, that includes Instagram, Twitter, and a Facebook page. That will be Beardxbrain.com.

Joel    00:05:14 :

Joel    00:06:37 :

 Haha I’m sure I I’m, I’m always mixed. Like I like the summers in Louisville and I like the fall in Louisville. I absolutely hate the cold and the winter

 

      Jay    00:06:46 :   

    Man cold in the winter here in Louisville

 

Britain    00:06:49 :   

 I am 100% on summer

 

      Jay    00:06:50 :   

   Man Louisville’s winters pain, in the ass dog. I would rather be in Florida be by the beach posted go sw-. fishing. You know what I mean? I’ll be doing right now.

 

Joel    00:07:05 :   

 Oh yeah, It is nice. We have a lot of cool shit to do. And you know, there’s a lot of like Springs and stuff. I actually live next to a Springs. So we go out there pretty often.

 

      Jay    00:07:13 :   

   Oh okay, Yeah. I’ve been down there twice. I’ve been down to Panama City, Pensacola though, my favorite Pensacola, man, Pensacola. Beautiful. It’s whole different different vibe out there

 

Joel    00:07:26 :  

 Oh yeah Pensacola is absolutely amazing….. But if you ever make it down to Daytona you’re welcome. You’re welcome here.

 

      Jay    00:07:34 :  

   Hell yeah, man. I appreciate that.

 

Britain   00:07:37 :   

 Absolutely. 

 

Britain    00:07:39 :   

 Well, welcome to Beard and Brain again, this is our very first episode, so it’s a pleasure having you on here, man. And honestly, the intro music that you hear and the outro music that you hear was done by yours, truly our man here. So hit it up 

 

      Jay    00:07:54 :  

   Jaydaunknown Yup

 

      Jay    00:07:55 :   

   You ever needs some beats. Holler at your boy. 

 

Britain    00:07:57 :   

 Why dont you tell our uh yeah why don’t you tell our listeners where they can find you real quick? And then we’ll segway in a little bit about your music, man.  

      Jay    00:08:04 :   

    You guys can, you can find me on YouTube. J….  just J, Da. D.A. Unknown and that goes for Band Camp and for my Sound Cloud, my Instagram. Britain will put all the information down and description. So it would just be easy that way. 

 

Britain    00:08:22 :  

 Yeah, absolutely. That way, if you guys didn’t hear it it’s J. D.A. so this is the letter J Da Unknown and hes uh, on YouTube. That’d be Band Camp. And, uh, again, I will have that all down in the description to make it easy for you guys.

 

      Jay    00:08:37 :   

    For sure.   

 

Britain    00:08:39 :  

 So I’m gonna just ask some basic questions, man. Oh, sorry. Joel go ahead. 

 

Joel    00:08:44 :  

 Well I was gonna, we’ll will edit that out but I was gonna say you can go to BeardXBrain.com/Podcast and get transcripts for all show notes and all shows.

 

Britain    00:08:58 :   

 Excellent. You heard it first there. So Jay uh, you are from here in Louisville, correct?

 

      Jay    00:09:04 :   

   Yeah, born and raised.

 

Britain    00:09:07 :   

 Awesome. Awesome. So you, uh, so you grew up with, um, you know, a music influence, uh, tell me a little bit about where you got that music influence. Exactly.

 

      Jay    00:09:15 :  

   Man it all happened when I was a little kid man. Like I would just like grab some pots and pans and started making my own rhythm and stuff like that. My mom was just like, I’m going to go ahead and put him in violin or something like classes like that. You know what I mean? And I was, I was in violin, Viola, what would that, what would that classroom be? Orchestra, right? Yeah. Orchestra orchestra from like the third grade up to like the sixth grade. And then from there I just stopped playing with music, but I felt like music has always been a THING for me. Like I haven’t really took it serious until, you know, all of this locked down around the viruses such as when I was I’m taking serious. 

 

Britain    00:10:01 :   

 Oh, okay.

 

Joel    00:10:03 :   

 That’s what’s up

 

Britain    00:10:05 :   

 So from…

 

      Jay    00:10:05 :   

    Yeah

 

Britain    00:10:05 :   

 So from an early age, you’ve got that influence from your mom kind of pushing you towards that, which is awesome.

 

      Jay     00:10:10 :  

   Yeah, man

 

Britain    00:10:11:    

 I feel like we all get our starts from our moms. Uh, obviously, you know,

 

      Jay     00:10:17 :   

    Most definitely

 

Britain    00:10:18 :   

 I think I think I think not just literally I’m thinking figuratively mainly here. So, you know, mom’s definitely pushed us to be the men that, you know, they want to see in the world.

 

      Jay    00:10:28 :  

   Right. And my dad…

 

Britain    00:10:30 :  

 You know, pushing you in your art is great.

 

      Jay    00:10:32 :   

    Oh yeah, man. My dad never really did that for…

 

      [Jay cuts out]

 

      [Silence]    00:10:37 

 

      [Womp…womp…womp + crickets]    00:10:40

 

Britain    00:10:40 :   

 Whoop… Jay you there? We, we got some technical difficulties on our first.

 

      [Jay cuts back in]    00:10:46

 

Britain    00:10:47 :   

 Oh, there we go

 

       Jay    00:10:48 :   

    Can you all hear me?

 

Britain    00:10:48 :   

 Coming in and out. Yep. There you are.

 

      Jay    00:10:51 :   

   Can you hear me loud and clear though?

 

Britain    00:10:53 :   

 Yep. Loud and clear boss.

 

      Jay    00:10:55 :   

   Cool, cool.

 

Britain    00:10:55 :  

 Sorry about that.

 

      Jay    00:10:56 :   

   All good.

 

Joel    00:10:58 :   

 Yeah so your saying your dad uh didn’t really support it much or…

 

       Jay    00:11:02 :   

    No, he really did, man. He was, it was just, I don’t know. He was really never like a good male figure in my life. You know what I mean? My mom had to be the dad and mom do. uh do both of those roles for me. So without my mom pushing me, especially to where I am now, man music would have not been a thing for me. I probably would have been doing something else to be quite honest.

 

Joel    00:11:29 :   

 No, that’s completely understood. So when you did the kind of classical training and the first few years, have you, is any of that classical training, like carried over into your music now?

 

       Jay    00:11:39 :   

    You know, like I’ve been wanting to like experiment with that, especially with like violin, Viola, adding some of that noise to my beats. That’s something I’ve been quite interested to do, but I’ll need to invest in an actual instrument to do so. Yeah. And how to like transfer all of those sounds to my digital audio workstation work and see how it works, you know?

 

Joel    00:12:06 :   

 No, definitely. I think it’d be pretty cool.

 

       Jay    00:12:07 :   

   Aw yeah

 

Joel    00:12:08 :   

 Uh, and one thing I really appreciate about, you know, your music, it really, it really fits at a kind of early nineties vibe where we’re like in the middle of like grunge and hip hop, like, and see and what not

 

      Jay    00:12:21 :   

   Aw yeah most definitely especially with the twist of jazz.

 

Joel    00:12:29 :   

 Yeah, no, I dig it a lot. Um, I think it’s, it’s really unique and it’s very appropriately at times because you know, it has that kind of late eighties, early nineties kind of feel and almost has that Sci-fi undertone and now, you know, it very well when I heard what you made for us. It very well could have been like the equivalent, a-like stranger things like theme intro song and kinda deal really dug it.

 

      Jay    00:13:00 :   

    Yeah. Haha.

 

Britain    00:13:03 :   

 I uh gave him like some basic, uh, you know, things we’re going to be talking about on the Podcast down the road. Uh we’ll we’re going to eventually take the Podcast where we’d like to take the Podcast and uh, you know, some, some of our favorite influences and even yours too. I knew that, you know, you like you like uh Behold A Pale Horse.

 

      Jay    00:13:24 :  

   Oh yeah.

 

Britain    00:13:24 :   

 Of course, we are uh…

 

      Jay    00:13:25 :   

    Definitely. That’s the truth right there. I recommend that book to everybody.

 

Britain    00:13:26 :   

 RIP William Cooper……….Yeah go pick up a copy of William Cooper’s behold, a pale horse. Um, and you get to hear him and our intro music every time. And then you get some little scary daddy Bush at the end, talking about his little new world order project that, uh, and I think still influences you know, us today.

 

      Jay    00:13:51 :  

   Most definitely

 

Britain    00:13:52 :   

 So uh I got it. Question for you. Um, you said something about, you know, your mom being your, um, your, you know, both parents, you know, while you were growing up and I kind of vibe with that, not in the sense that my father wasn’t around, but my father worked quite a bit, both of my parents, like I said, own both their own businesses. So mom had the luxury of only having to work about a third of the time and she stayed home with us. And, uh, she did a lot of the disciplining and a lot of the rearing when it came to two boys, you know, me and my brother and my older sister. So, uh, with that being said, I kind of relate to that. Where, where did your influence in the music come from your mom? Like what parts of the music may be? Can we pull out of that being your mom’s influence? I want to dive into that.

 

      Jay    00:14:46 :   

   Oh man, jazz, jazz music, man, jazz.

 

Britain    00:14:49 :   

 Mmm…Tell me more brother. 

 

      Jay    00:14:52 :  

   I grew up on Paul, Paul Hardcastle, Steve Laurie, Warren Hill, all of the, all the great jazz artists man. And I, yeah, I’ll be listened to that. She always put the jazz station and whenever I go for a doctor’s appointment and all the time back then they will always play the jazz music too. And the waiting room, I’ll be like, man, like I love about jazz, this song about jazz that I love. And then, like I say, man, is that what I was saying?

 

Joel    00:15:26 :   

 Nah I was saying I’m right there with you, man. I love some old jazz. It just makes you feel good

 

      Jay    00:15:34 :   

   Hell yeah. Dog. Not a day pass by where I don’t listen to jazz. Jazz is always playing and I’m. 

 

Britain    00:15:42 :   

 So, so was your mother a big jazz fan or was this something like you all were, you know

 

      Jay    00:15:45 :   

   She would listen to jazz she would listen to like the Beatles, like all the classical stuff, but it wasn’t always mostly like jazz and Spanish music too.

 

Britain    00:15:55 :   

 Awesome.

 

Joel    00:15:56 :   

 That’s cool

 

Britain    00:15:58 :   

 Awesome. So I’ve got to also ask since we’re on the influences here, what’s up a three six mafia bro.

 

      Jay    00:16:06 :   

   Three, six mafia, man. All right. So first time I ever, ever listened to three, six mafia, I mean, pretty sure it was, everybody was stay fly. I remember why the world premiere on MTV back in October. And I was like, man, at that time I was a kid. So I was just like, man, I just thought there were a new group and I’ll just bump in their music. Yeah. And then years, six, seven years later, I had this home boy, he showed me one of the three, six mafias oldest song.

 

Britain    00:16:42 :   

 See me. See that’s where I’m at.

 

      Jay    00:16:44 :   

   Yeah. And I was just like, damn three, six mafia in 1995. I was like, nah, that’s not possible. And I was, Oh yeah, man. I listened to mystic styles for the first time. I was like, Holy shit. Like…

 

Britain    00:16:57 :   

 Alright bro im probably going to take it back on you? Then? My shit, three, six mafia to me, boy, that is going to be chapter two, world domination that is my shit.

 

      Jay    00:17:08 :   

   Hell yeah. Chapter 1, Chapter 2.

 

Britain    00:17:12 :   

 That’s where it all started for me all the way back to the baby mama all the way back in the two way free days All that shit dude.

 

      Jay    00:17:18 :   

   Chicken-head.

 

Britain    00:17:18 :  

 Yes! Yes-sir. That old school shit.

 

[Laughter]

 

Britain    00:17:23 :   

 That’s coming out, heavy up in the music to and I think what makes it is that three, six Memphis style trap vibe mixed with that sweet, sweet saxophone and those jazzy jazzy vibes here. And I’m telling you it’s awesome.

 

      Jay    00:17:38 :   

   It makes a difference going, man. It’s a different style man. Like, yeah. There’s some more cats who does the type of music I’ve made, but every producer has their own style. Me mine is more like laid back retro lo-fi you know what I mean? That’s just my style.

 

Britain    00:17:56 :   

 You got that lo-fi jazz man. And that definitely stands out. That’s what’s standing out. You know what I mean?

 

      Jay    00:18:00 :   

   I appreciate that man.

 

Joel    00:18:01 :  

 And that’s one thing that i absolutely love about it is because you know, everybody’s trying to be on the other end of the spectrum and be out there aggressive in your face and stuff, but like most definitely, you know, it’s just like jazz, like know jazz is one of those things where you listen to it over the course of like an hour or so as a pure enjoyment and kind of like, um, you know, a, visceral kind of, you know, enjoyment and feeling from listening to it it’s not something that you just put it on in passing, like just driving into the gas station, some shit like that.

 

      Jay    00:18:35 :   

   Right.

 

Joel    00:18:39 :   

 Whereas like other stuff, but on the other end of the spectrum is like the majority of the, you know, kind of mumble rap thing that we hear today, it’s all kind of like quick, it’s basically like pop fucking junkie rap nowadays.

 

      Jay    00:18:52 :   

   Yeah. I’m not too big on mumble rap mumble rap to me is just garbage. It’s just, there’s no creativity or originality and that’s all this guy sounds like this cat, you know what I mean?

 

Joel    00:19:07 :   

 Right. And I mean, I won’t lie. Like I enjoy some of it, you know, some of the Trinity shit ill here it and stuff, but it’s just not my vibe. And that’s when they told me to you, is that lo-fi kind of feel. Um, and I don’t know how to explain it, like listening, like jazz and more lo-fi music is like, when you start getting like really tipsy and that’s when you start like really being stupid, like it puts me back on that level. 

 

      Jay    00:19:34 :  

   Oh yeah, man. Especially when you smoke and the joint to it, man, MAN, lay back and relax for room.

 

Joel    00:19:42 :   

 Yeah for real, so, um, what other influences do you have aside from You know, the three, six mafia and kind of, you know, you had this kind of retro vibe and whatnot. I mean, uh, what, what kind of like, is it more about like your routine as far as doing, do you just like dedicate X amount of time a day to, you know, put in to create more music? Or do you just kind of go on based on how you feel in any given moment? I mean, do you have a structure just kind of..

 

      Jay    00:20:13 :   

   I pretty much do it everyday, bro, like, like, like, like, like for example, like on my days off, when I wake up make music and then between it…see. With me, I don’t, I don’t be stuck on one beat. I’ll just save it and come back to that later and work on the next feat. Just like how Pac was when he was making raps. If he couldn’t finish that song and he’ll save it and he’ll come back later and work onto the next one, because the majority of producers downfall these days is that they stay stuck on one track and you shouldn’t stay on one track for hours upon hours. You want to go ahead and keep working on next stuff. You know what I mean? And then…

 

Joel    00:20:51 :   

 Yeah that makes sense.

 

      Jay    00:20:53 :   

   Yeah, like after I get done with the session, I’ll go ahead and just take my little smoke break. My smoke breaks take like one to two hours at the most. And I just listen to nothing but jazz music walk around smoke, you know what I mean? Just get some inspiration, not only the jazz, they’re all different type of genre music and then when I’m at work, I just put my headphones on, listen to jazz music, man, pretty much on working and also working and my other job. You feel me?

 

Joel    00:21:25 :   

 Yeah Yeah, for real. So it kind of sounds like, you know, a really big influence on the jazz side is you really use a lot of improvisation when you’re creating your…

 

      Jay    00:21:35 :   

   Oh yeah. Oh Yeah

 

Joel    00:21:43 :   

 Yeah Yeah That’s pretty cool. Um, I guess my next question to kind of follow up with that is, uh, do you have any like weird habits or anything you have to do to kind of get into that vibe? Like a good example for me would be like every single morning I have to do a series of certain things and I can’t communicate it for like an hour and a half just to, in order for me to start my day effectively. Otherwise I’m shit the rest of the day. Do you have anything to prepare for? You’re making music and shit like that?

 

      Jay    00:21:10 :   

   Man, just smoke weed. Haha That’s all really.

 

[Inaudible]

 

      Jay    00:22:20 :   

   Yeah. Dawg, like I like to smoke before I get into my session because it puts me into like creativity mode sober-minded I was still, I was still have that ability create like be creative, but once I’m like, high man, that’s when I’m like to a whole different dimension or frequency that’s when I just come up with different ideas of what I would how would this song like this, you know what I mean? Stuff like that. (Yeah.) I like to, that’s just, this is me. 

 

Britain    00:22:49 :   

 I definitely think there’s something more to that as well. Since you mentioned that, what can I take it a little left field or right field wherever, wherever we want to go. We’re growing outer space, but I think that to the creative process and, and your rituals, um, I think it’s fair to say that it definitely gets you on a different vibration.

 

      Jay    00:23:13 :   

   Most definitely.

 

Britain    00:23:14 :   

 And anybody that, you know, probably smokes will probably be able to relate to what I’m talking about as far as vibration, but it’s um, it’s, it’s definitely an awakening.

 

      Jay    00:23:27 :   

   Oh yeah.

 

Britain    00:23:28 :   

 I was deaf. So I kinda, I kinda, I kinda liked that, that you have your own ritual before you do your music and that you’ve got a lot amount of time that you set for yourself for your mind to relax and to recoup, you know, to de-s.. you know, sensitize yourself from all that stimulation whilst you’re giving yourself and then

 

      Jay    00:23:49 :   

   Yup. I agree.

 

Britain    00:23:50 :   

 You know, unpack everything, you know?

 

      Jay    00:23:53 :   

   Right.

 

Britain    00:23:54 :   

 So I definitely, I definitely vibed with that. Oh yeah. I think it’s crucial.

 

      Jay    00:23:58 :   

   Appreciate the man. Yeah, man, like I’m dedicated to this man. Like I said, if, if it wasn’t for like the coronavirus lock down, I would have not released led light expelled darkness or what I’ve released playalistic harmony I’ll probably would have just been fucking around with it, you know? But yeah. Thanks to the lockdown. Yeah.

 

Britain    00:24:20 :   

 Yeah. Since you say that to ’em since led came out first, why don’t you go into a little bit about light expels darkness? Kind of tell us about maybe just a little bit about, cause we know about the original we know about the influences. Tell us a little bit about that project, maybe where you were, when that that project came around and then, uh, maybe slide and segue into, uh, your, your playlist of harmony, which is my friend you’ve got something there.

 

Joel    00:24:49 :   

 Yeah. For real.

 

      Jay    00:24:53 :   

   I appreciate the well LED I like how it, it was like abbreviated the light expels darkness. All my music is going to bring light and says the whole darkness that was going on during like March and April, especially when people’s going fucking crazy out of their minds with the whole lock down and think it was the end of the world. But you know, I was like, you know what, in order to calm down the vibrations of everybody, you gotta, you gotta put in a specific type of frequency that will calm it, relax the soul. You know what I mean? That’s why I had an added Jazz. And then on top of that, people like traps. So making jazz and trap together will smoothed, the Soul, you know what I mean? So it was really like, and that was like the meaning behind L.E.D., you know, like my music just bringing light into the darkness of the world. 

 

Britain    00:25:51 :   

 I definitely vibe, with that.

 

      Jay    00:25:54 :  

   And then playalistic man like that whole tape is non-but like laid back music for like players and pimps and macks to listen to, because I was just, you know, back in the day in the nineties, like Memphis rap, they all play, they sample similar samples that I use. That’s why it has that playalistic feel to it You know what I mean?

 

Britain    00:26:20 :   

 Right.

 

      Jay    00:26:21 :   

   Playalistic just, just laid back, man. Just laid back.

 

Britain    00:26:26 :   

 So playalistic harmony bro, it’s it’s got my girlfriend’s name in it, Harmony, and yeah. So, so I’m definitely, I vibed with it to begin with. And, and there’s a certain track in it that harmony loves that, that he says P. I. M. P.

 

      Jay    00:26:46 :   

   Aw the first track. Yeah Yeah.

 

Britain    00:26:47 :   

 Yes sir.. Put it in my pocket. tell me a little bit more about those samples man. 

 

      Jay    00:26:58 :   

   Those samples see originally that track was named playalistic harmony. That was way before I was going to come up with the fifth tape. So what happened was like, I found that sample on my YouTube recommended section one time, it was just this pimp giving out some advices and stuff and I’ve heard it. And the part where it got me interested was there’s a virus going on. It’s called the hating virus. You know what I mean? And I was like, what? Like if I, if I sampled it, put it on, put it on, you know, on the beat, it will match with all that shit going on because there is a lot of hating going on the world right now, a lot of hate. And there is a virus quote, unquote virus going on. So I was just like, you know what, why not throw it on the track? They’re on the track posted on YouTube, got a lot of good feedback out of it. I don’t know why my, well, that was like a rough draft. I wasn’t going to be like the final product. I don’t know why my highest decided to put a rough draft on YouTube and you know, thinking it was going to be the final version, but it wasn’t. So it gave me like, can you hear me?

 

Britain    00:28:17 :   

 Oh yeah, we got you.

 

      Jay    00:28:18 :   

   So it gave me an idea. So you know what? I liked the name playalistic harmony. Why not make it as a beat? So as a beat tape and yeah, from there it’s history man, and the numbers likes it. Just keep rising up day by day.

 

Britain   00:28:36 :    

 I’m loving it.

 

      Jay    00:28:36 :   

   Yeah, man, like this, this is definitely going to surpass led cause led it took like three, yeah. Two to three months to get to like 1000 view. This one was like nearly like 400 numbers away to being a thousand. So it’s not bad, man. All my hard work is putting and it’s not going to happen overnight. It’s going to take time and patience as I’ve always, you know? 

 

Britain    00:29:05 :  

 Oh yeah. I love the fact LED’s lingering around back there as, as almost like an underground tape. And so it can, it can stay that way and honestly, I love that.

 

      Jay    00:29:14 :  

   Me too, bro. 

 

Britain    00:29:15 :   

 I heard that tape second. Honestly, I heard that after playalistic harmony. So I’m, I’m almost sad that I did, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles

 

      Jay    00:29:25  :  

   LEDs. Is my all time favorite, all my buddies, they love led. They all got a copy of it. So yeah. I appreciate the tape, man. I appreciate you for your support dog. For real. Yeah. Like 

 

Joel    00:29:42 :   

 I got a side note, I was going to say, and this is just a side note. Um, yeah, you have to email on the outside and um, we have the same way. I was just trying to look it up to figure out what the hell it’s called. But we do this thing on one of our radio stations. We w we have the main hip hop station here for like central Florida area. Um, and we do a second once a week. It’s like, uh, find new artists or some shit like that. So you have to get me over what you were to submit and I’ll put you in on there.

 

      Jay    00:30:13 :   

   Hey man, I’m definitely down. Have Britain send me. You have, Britain send me your info and I’ll send you, I will send some tracks you tonight.

 

Joel    00:30:25 :   

 Alright

 

Britain    00:30:25 :   

 Absolutely.

 

      Jay    00:30:29 :   

   Definitely appreciate it a lot.

 

Joel    00:30:31:    

 Um, and we’re eyes are going and course I think one of the managers there, and he’s really hardcore into jazz and stuff too. He’s driven new Orleans. If you ever get a chance, I don’t know if you’ve been there now, but there’s this, there’s this road called Frenchmen street and new Orleans. And it’s nothing but jazz clubs and like delicious food. And it is, you go there any time, man. And it’s just, you know, street musicians, playing jazz and random people getting together their instruments and just, it’s just such

 

      Jay    00:31:05 :   

   That’s amazing.

 

Joel    00:31:06 :   

 And it’s so great. You have to check it out something.

 

      Jay    00:31:09 :  

   I might have to check that out, man. I’m definitely want to check that out. Cause I’m, I’m a sucker for jazz. I love jazz music a lot. 

 

Joel    00:31:17 :   

 Yeah, man. And you’d be surprised like how cheap it is to go there. Like I’ve never spent more than like $300. It’s been four or five days there really damn near he’s like I found some bad-ass and me and he’s there. I went there once with. And have you ever seen that show? ’em dear white people on Netflix?

 

      Jay    00:31:38 :   

   No, I don’t think so. I’ll be honest with you guys. Like I rarely watch Netflix or keep up of anything. That’s new. I’m mostly just like now I’m just talking music, and..

 

Britain    00:31:51 :   

 Dude. I respect that. And uh, I mean, I hate to say that, but stay that way

 

      Jay    00:31:55 :   

   I feel it dog, man.

 

Britain    00:31:57 :   

 Like as long as you’re vibing that and you’re feeling that inspiration to do that. Go with the flow.

 

      Jay    00:32:01 :   

   Like I don’t like adding like all that negative, negative, negative frequency from social media. If I, if I spend any time or any of my energy into that, that’s going to affect me musically. You know what I mean?

 

Britain    00:32:17 :  

 Oh yeah. And we’ll get into that a little bit more on our last topic here. What was that?

 

Joel    00:32:23 :   

 No, I’m saying you’re very smart to do so.

 

      Jay    00:32:26 :   

   Oh yeah.

 

Britain    00:32:27 :  

 I agree. Well, as a, as far as your music goes, man, we’ve gone through led light expels darkness. That’s going to be your underground tape. I’m I’m so excited. Yeah. And then you’ve got playalistic harmony, uh, upcoming projects. You got anything upcoming that you can, that you can share with us?  You got anything on the shelf?

 

      Jay    00:32:48 :   

   Yeah. This is going to be filled with a lot of treats for y’all. So by mid..

 

Britain    00:32:57 :   

 Ewww treats in October

 

      Jay    00:32:58 :   

   Trick or treat. Hahah [That’s right!] Alright, so check it out. So mid-October, I’m going to be posting a track for my six beat tape. I’m dropping my six beat tape on December six reason. Reason why it’s my birthday and then it matches with the six tape. You know what I mean? I haven’t came up with a title for it yet. It might be called the sixth sense. Something. I haven’t, I haven’t came up the title yet, but I’m going to have a track. That’s going to promote from a six from my six beat tape. And then on Halloween day, I’m going to have an EP that’s going to be called. The other side of the moon its going to be a collaboration with me. And Douglas. Douglas is another dope producer out of Colorado. He’s fucking amazing. He doesn’t use like digital audio workstation, like FL studio, none of that. He dude, he goes back to like nineties. He use a lot of drum machines four, eight track cassette tapes. You know what I mean? Like I’ll recommend.

 

Britain    00:34:04 :   

 That’s definitely legit

 

      Jay    00:34:02 :   

   Hell yea dude his beats. It brings you back into like the nineties underground Memphis era. like, yeah man, like if he was in Memphis during that time, it would have been the rich motherfucker. He would have been rich. So I got that EP. That’s going to be probably like a 12 track tape. I’m always going to release physicals. And I also, I think tonight I’m going to release a track with my homie Syko rich. Syko Rich’s another rapper out of Nashville. He is fucking dope. He is amazing. But I also gonna have an EP tape with them It’s only going to be a six track tape. It ain’t going to be that long. But if you want to listen to some stuff from Syko Rich, you can look them up over on Instagram. I’ll put on. I will give Britain all the details to look up him, look him up because he he’s another amazing rapper another amazing upcoming Rapper.

 

Britain    00:35:04 :   

 Absolutely And so I take my notes, two brother, so yeah.

 

      Jay    00:35:06 :  

   Oh yeah man.

 

Britain    00:35:07 :  

 Absolutely.

 

      Jay    00:35:08 :   

   Like I said, I got the six beat tapes coming up in December six and that’s pretty much it and probably along the way, I’ll have more collaboration projects now for 2021, there’s going to be a lot more. There’ll be a lot more..

 

Britain    00:35:23 :   

 Awesome. I love that looking forward. And so you heard it first here, upcoming projects. mid-October track from the sixth beat tape coming December six. So then you’ve got a Halloween day, comes an EAP called other of the moon with Douglas. And then today, October 1st, a psycho rich Nashville EAP, six track tape coming soon. 

 

      Jay    00:35:46 :   

   Yes, sir. All of them going to get physicals. 

 

Britain    00:35:52 :  

 Well, we’ll get all that down though in the bio. So…

 

      Jay    00:35:55 :   

   Sure. All of them release is going to have a physical cassette tape. And if you guys are interested in one, you better, you better cop one ASAP because they’re not going to be no repress.

 

Britain    00:36:06 :   

 Definitely linked me up with something like that. Cause I hate to miss out on anything almost like when it comes to these music physicals man, because underground is my scene and honestly I hate them. I hate the mainstream, so I gotta get in on the physical. 

 

      Jay    00:36:21 :   

   Oh. And I also got one tape. Well it’s not my tape. It’s from my homie old school. Danny B it’s called satanical values. It’s amazing. I really recommend it. He only has 20 copies live also.

 

Britain    00:36:37 :   

 What’s it What’s it called?

 

      Jay    00:36:39 :  

   The satanical values. He’s from Las Vegas, Nevada man. And it’s all like laid back G funk type of sound. You know what I mean? It’s really dope. I recommend, I recommend y’all getting a copy. It’s really dope. I got myself two cops. 

 

Britain    00:36:55 :   

 Oh for sure, dude. I definitely, I got a note of that. Satanical values. You say he’s from Las Vegas, Nevada. [Yep] Awesome, man. Appreciate it. So I guess, uh, tell our viewers real quick. 

 

Joel    00:37:07 :   

 Oh, go ahead. Dovetail on that. I mean you seem to, you know, communicate and work with a lot of people from all over the country that is pretty inspiring. Like for any musicians out there or anything like that is, you know, do you have any advice to that? Like how do you, how did you find such a broad community?

 

      Jay    00:37:26 :  

   You see man, like see with Danny, like I met Danny years ago. It was 2013 to like a three, six mafia forum page and me and him are related on a lot of stuff and we was cool. And you know, that, that happened ever since then. And me and him are working on a EP project. Well, an album is going to come out next year and…

 

Britain    00:37:55 :   

 So your vibing out with your, you know, kind of some of your inspiration, some of the music, like you’re vibing out on those pages with those cliques.

 

      Jay    00:37:55 :   

   Most definitely.

 

Joel    00:38:04 :   

 I’m excited to hear that there is a three six mafia forum.

 

      Jay    00:38:12 :   

   Yeah, dude like it’s cool, man. You got mafia forums, underground Memphis forums. And with the help of like social media, the only good thing about social media I can say is that you can connect and link with people from other States or country and you can work with music and stuff like that. And it’s pretty dope because back in the days, it wasn’t like that you have to go visit them, get studio in session. You know what I mean? And all the nine yards and it’s not like that. Now you can just send a file through.

 

Britain    00:38:45 :   

 The Internet’s paved the way shit, man.

 

      Jay    00:38:46 :   

   Exactly. And you see the sad thing is that the local scene is really dying is not, it’s not as popping as it is now. Back then, like yeah, you, you, you still get local recognition you still get like local fame, but nowadays is the, Internet’s where it’s at. You know, the internet is really where it’s at right now for money local. You can’t really make no money and stuff like that. That’s what I’ve noticed a lot lately. And it’s pretty like, Whoa…

 

Britain    00:39:17 :   

 But you got to keep the tradition hip hop.

 

      Jay    00:39:18 :  

 Oh yeah.

 

Britain    00:39:18 :   

 You gotta keep that mix tape mindset.

 

      Jay    00:39:21 :    

   Most Definitely.

 

Britain    00:39:21 :   

 You gotta keep that music definitely. And you got to keep it alive, man. So, and you’re doing that and uh, hats off to you and I appreciate that, bro. Keep it up. Uh Joel did you want to ask him any more questions about where we were at with, um, you know, old school, Danny B and M anything coming up, maybe for him in 2021 before we go into where, you know, one last stitch where we can find this stuff. 

 

Joel    00:39:45 :   

 No, man. I’m good. I mean very, very fun.

 

Britain    00:39:51 :   

 Awesome brother. Well, why don’t you tell us one last time where he can, wherever I can find your music, man. And we’ll, we’ll actually, uh, hit on some things you said about social media.

 

      Jay    00:39:59 :

   Sure Most definitely. You can follow me on YouTube. Letter J space Da D.A Unknown follow me on there. And there you can find me on Sound Cloud, Instagram, Bang Camp, all spelled the same way. I guess I’m going to have my man Britain right. All scription, all of that information to the description and you guys can follow me.

 

Britain    00:40:18 :   

 Absolutely.

 

Joel    00:40:19 :  

 Perfect.

 

Britain    00:40:20 :   

 Awesome. So here we go. Next segment. Our last portion of it here, it is a election year guys. We all do know that and it’s creeping up on one month almost. Yeah. And um, social media is outrageous and has been, and it’s also, uh, I mean I say social media, let’s, let’s talk about, um, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube specifically let’s let’s throw out fucking Instagrams tik tok and all that bullshit for now. Um, and the influence that it has is on the masses, maybe some psychology behind that. Um, I mean, does, I mean, I’m talking brief psychology. I don’t want to sit here and try and rack anybody’s brain about what’s actually going on. But um, you know, there’s some books that I’ve seen that may have some, some play into this. We can even go down some rabbit holes briefly about, you know, does the CIA have influence on this stuff? Who knows? But um, you know, what’s your take on this election year for one, maybe your, your touch Corona briefly and then we’ll roll into social media and what you think as far as their mindset on trying to control the masses and you know, dangling carrots here, or maybe they’re trying to divide us on purpose. I don’t know. 

 

      Jay    00:41:48 :   

   This is like the perfect year for them to do. All of this stuff like corona never happened. They would have at least social media. So social media was already thing that was one of their tools to like control people and put them set feeling a specific way, especially of all this controversy topics and you know, all of that. And yeah, with Corona Def they have control the masses really well yet there’s an illness going on, but it’s not as deadly as we think of this. It can just be your seasonal flu. But then again, I’ve heard cases of people dying from that ship, but people normally die from that all the time. You know what I mean? So I’m not new under the sun.

 

Britain    00:42:38 :   

 We’ve taken the precautions around here. Um, we don’t go around…

 

Joel    00:42:43 :   

 Like the flu is just taking a break for the last year. Like, you know what covid yall got this.. peace.

 

   Jay    00:42:52 :  

   I mean we noticed last year, like the weather here in Louisville, we never had a winter like that, so I didn’t get sick at all like that so I can see why it can be creeping up right now. You know? So yeah, I mean…

 

Britain    00:43:07 :   

 And it does this every year. So, you know, we don’t really even know if there’s one strain. I don’t know.

 

      Jay    00:43:15 :  

   At this point…

 

Britain    00:43:17 :   

 Going around there, could be one and it could be five strains. Who knows.

 

      Jay    00:43:21 :   

   Exactly. And that does point, man, you it’s just, it makes you question about a lot things and you gotta, you gotta realize, man, like we never had a lock down for the HIV virus for the age who never had all of this or even for the ebola or H1N1 we had it for Corona. So how they can control it.

 

Joel    00:43:44 :  

 Its definitely more than anything else. I mean, you look at the fucking like Scandinavian countries and shit they had in my eyes opinion, the right approach. We’re not going to shut anything down. We’re going to continue life as is and let our immune system build up to it and you know, did it, and the most stoic sense possible. Yes, of course, Americas gonna have more Deaths and lost and everything else because we’re having 300 fucking million people in the country.

 

      Jay    00:43:21 :    

   Exactly and some of us are gullible too. We don’t even give a fuck.

 

Joel    00:44:27 :    

 You know, we’ll have some bitch going to a gas station at two to get hohos with a fucking flu or whatever. Americans are not the brightest fucking people. And I think too, like it makes me wonder as far as the whole idea of like, is there like an external factor controlling all this? Or is it that we as a society are just that dumb and you look at what social media does to people. [Oh yeah.] I really like, even with COVID like thing, people are happy to fucking shut down for a few months got bad-ass and employment able to just kind of fuck off and actually have excuses to not go in and work physically at a location. And we get an opportunity to bitch on social media all day. I think we could, you gave everything.

 

Britain    00:45:18 :   

 Could you imagine if we were in high school when they closed down schools for like that last portion of the year, could you imagine?

 

Joel    00:45:26 :   

 I wouldn’t make it out alive? 

 

      Jay    00:45:28 :   

   Me neither! Haha.

 

Britain    00:45:29 :   

 Dude Here’s the shit, here’s the, here’s the, here’s the real take now dude. Joel if we were in high school still, and this and this went down, you’d be downtown protesting right now.

 

Joel    00:45:38  :  

 Oh yeah Absolutely fucking right. And then like everybody’s like that, I think everybody has like that anarchist fucking, you know, radical kind of left liberal kind of [id be with you] and then you kind of get older and you’re just like, well, I kinda don’t want to be crazy on either sides. I’m going to fall in the middle somewhere…

 

      Jay    00:46:00 :  

   Right.

 

Britain    00:46:02 :   

 Yeah. We both have kids. So it’s like we gotta be here to protect them. and the best example for them, you know, my, and his are both old enough to start learning about what these rights are and you know, what it means and you know, the way people are treated and that how people different, you know, people that she’s going to be grown up with that look different than her are going to be treated differently and that’s not the world that we know we all want to grow up in. So it’s, it’s a talk that we’re all having. And it’s something I think that we plan to discuss here as well. There’s definitely, maybe, maybe a conversation for another time.

 

Joel    00:46:39  :  

 I think you take the approach that like, at least with my kid, what I like to do is just like, I’m not putting all that bullshit in her head. I’m just gonna, you know, treat everybody as the reasonable human being because you’re a reasonable human being. There’s nothing else that has been more involved. You know, I think that’s the biggest thing as far as with the kids and what’s wrong with society this day is we want to have, you know, labels and actions and fucking, you know, objective 100%, you know, just be a good human and you’re pretty much solid for your whole life. 

 

      Jay    00:47:15 :   

   Right. And don’t look down on our people as like lower, you know what I mean? Like this class, exactly. It’s just pure ignorance. We’re all living through that type of exactly. No matter if you’re black, white, Latino we all bleed the same, you know?

 

Britain    00:47:32 :  

 Right. And I think I’m a big part of that too. It’s a cause it’s a mental construct. So if you start to think about it as a mental construct, you look at it just almost as a character defect, it’s something that you’ve got to understand, something you’ve got to tackle and move on. That’s the wedding manifesting something worse. You just address that character defect and why you feel that way about something, dude. And you’re going to learn something about yourself and probably feel better about it. Or you’re going to realize that there’s some things that need, you know, either way. I think that it’s when you look inward in situations like that, the best thing to do is, you know, like they say its unconditional love, so you said something about social media specifically that I want to touch on, um, you said that it makes you feel a certain type of world and then it’s known yet. And it’s known to create greater activity in neural networks and like reward processing regions. So the Brain, you know, social cognition, limitation, different parts of the brain kind of spark up when you’re looking at pictures and you get things instantly and it’s rewarding and shit like that. So you’re onto something there. Um, what are your thoughts on that? Joel if you want to kind of chime in and then maybe Jay follow up Joel you there?

 

Joel    00:48:50 :  

 Oh, sorry. My shit panned out for a second. What’d you say?

 

Britain    00:48:52 :  

  No, you’re good. Um, my question was, was social media, is he, he, he got me thinking earlier about how social media makes you feel a certain type of way. And I’ve, I’ve actually read articles where they talk about the networks in your brain that spark up, or like flash up whenever you’re viewing social media, um, what are your thoughts on that? Do you think that that was done intentional or they may be exploiting that a little too much? Like the case was, uh, what was that video game fortnight where that they actually had psychologist helping them keep the Da game, you know, slightly addictive too.

 

Joel    00:49:30 :  

 I mean, that is just simply you have to, I am coming and just for context, I have a master, I have an MBA in finance. I worked in business, the executive for a company. Like I understand that it is shitty to think about, but if you have a marketing aspect though, stoic rational sense, if you want to participate in a free market, that’s part of it. And it’s up to you as the individual to think for yourself and to realize when shit’s not wrong and your Facebook the other day. And I went through the privacy settings to see what they had new man. 

 

Joel    00:50:17 :  

  I basically just hidden myself from the entire platform and Facebook cause I’ve been getting canceled lately and it’s not that hard. And it’s just cause people don’t put the energy into it. They accept any terms and agreements. And to me, like one thing is being a good human is being fucking accountable. And if you can’t be accountable for your own fucking ignorance, then you can’t bitch about what other people were doing. You only, you know, things only happen to you if you make that choice too. And as a marketer, yes, we use, I mean, I had to study social psychology, all sorts of stuff because like we call it consumer dynamics. For instance, you have a buyer cycle. I, my purchasing cycle, it starts you, everything from how to get people’s attraction all the way into after they purchase something and try to avoid, you know, um, I forget the exact word, but it’s basically like a dissonance of some sort towards your product. 

 

Joel    00:51:14 :   

 If you buy something and feel shitty afterwards. So that’s why like when you buy something from Amazon, you get notifications all the way until it’s shipped at your door. And then usually within three to five days after you get your shipment, you get another email response basically saying, Hey, did you like the product? Because we want to ensure that you were okay at the product. Everything was solid. We do that to ensure that there is no negative kind of connotation towards you purchasing that it’s all psychology. And when we use it for everything in life, I mean, we try to fucking go Mack on a chick in a bar we’re using psychology to kind of fucking trick them and thinking more of the shit. You know what I mean?

 

      Jay    00:51:55 :   

   Exactly

 

Joel    00:51:56 :   

 It’s, it’s everywhere. You just can’t deny it and say that it’s fucking evil and that’s my bottom line to it. 

 

      Jay    00:52:04 :  

   That’s true. What you say is completely true and see the problem with social media these days. A lot of people follow and share a lot of ignorant stuff that will cause tension like arguments, disagreements that would just, you know what I mean? This is not cool.

 

Britain    00:52:23 :   

 I’m guilty.

 

      Jay    00:52:24 :   

   I mean, I feel you like some, sometimes I’ll post stuff just to have an interesting conversation. And then you have are people who go overboard, like calling names and ages and stuff. It’s just ignorant.

 

Britain    00:52:41:    

 I try to keep it comical if it ain’t funny then I’m like, you know, and I get roasted.

 

Joel    00:52:48 :   

 I have cut down on my shit. So sparingly. And then like after the debate, I made a comment to one person that I’ve known for over 20 years and I got canceled for it simply because I had a different there and it’s just like people. And then I got named Called, I got fucking messages and all sorts of crazy shit.

 

      Jay    00:53:11 :   

   That’s ridiculous. Right.

 

Joel    00:53:12 :   

 And I didn’t even feel.

 

Britain    00:53:13 :   

 Cancel culture on social media is ridiculous right now.

 

Joel    00:53:17 :   

 It’s just so insane to me that like, you know, and especially this whole idea of like, I fall pretty much in the middle and I don’t understand how people on the left, which are primarily the loudest people on social media are sitting there, you know, being the loudest person in the room and canceling everything in the name of, you know, progression and being a better society. But you’re, you know, it’s that old adage. It’s like those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it. So all you’re doing is muffling this shit that if you make your goal and nobody says a mean thing and nobody has a mean side or it’s stressful, or what the fuck ever for the rest of their lives, eventually it’s going to fucking burst and it’s going to come back to you tenfold. And then, you know, the same thing can be said for a writer just to fucking conspiracy theorist and kind of just think that the deep state and the left is just going to take over everything.… and really it’s just, everyone’s being kind of dumb.

 

      Jay    00:54:22 :  

   Right and…… And what kills me though, is a lot of people in social media share a lot of fake, satire information. Like they don’t take the opportunity to like question it and be all right. Well, I heard this…

 

Joel    00:54:41 :   

 Absolutely.

 

      Jay    00:54:42 :   

   I’m going to find some information, see if it’s true or not, you gotta separate what salt and what’s sugar. They both look alike. They don’t taste the same. You know what I mean?

 

Joel    00:54:51 :   

 Right.

 

Britain    00:54:51 :   

 100 percent agree.

 

      Jay    00:54:52 :   

   And a lot of people don’t don’t do that. They were just sharing like, Oh yeah, I heard from there or from Facebook and these are the same people.

 

Britain    00:55:00 :   

 Or I’m going to look at that later…

 

      Jay    00:55:01 :   

   Right, These are the same. Exactly. These are the same people.

 

Joel    00:55:07 :   

 I do this shit for a living clickbait sells advertisements.

 

      Jay    00:15:12 :   

   Exactly. Like they they…

 

Britain    00:55:17 :   

 I would much rather do…

 

      Jay    00:55:18 :   

   Actually do the information and to them as a conspiracy to use all you see on YouTube, but they actually got there the time to do the information shared, acknowledge to you, but these people share all these quote-un-quote, information it’s all bullshit, man. And that’s why it’s hard for me sometimes because I use social media just to promote my music. I don’t like to get on them and just maybe here and there, I will give like my 2 cents about how I feel, but I don’t want to continue promoting that topic because that will affect me musically, because I, you got to separate from politics and from music, you can’t keep that to the same, you know, but right now, especially with all the huge controversy going on,

 

Britain    00:56:00 :   

 Right I agree

 

      Jay    00:56:05  :  

   Especially with like full police brutality, the black life matters and all of that, I’m all about the black lives matter. 

 

      Jay    00:56:10 :  

   I agree with the movement, but I don’t agree with certain things. You know what I mean? I just, I’m not 100 foot down, but at the same time, I don’t like to follow any groups. You know, I don’t like falling in groups, all of this, all of this stuff going on, it’s a huge distraction to control the masses, you know, playing with there emotions and, stuff like that, you know like, (inaudible) Oh yeah. Like social media is such a perfect tool for the higher ups. to just do whatever the fuck they want to do to just get people amped up. And I am honestly will, since we’re like literally literally close to the election, something’s going to go down before or after the elections. 

 

Britain    00:57:00 :   

 I hear it’s in LA

 

      Jay    00:57:02 :  

   LA.

 

Joel    00:57:03 :   

 I donno

 

Britain    00:57:04 :   

 I keep hearing people that live out there. There’s just rumblings in LA from what I have heard…

 

Joel    00:57:08 :   

 And I wouldn’t doubt that but you gotta think with a logical perspective something’s going to happen one way or another after the election Trump’s taken out…

 

Britain    00:57:16 :   

 That’s obvious somethings always fucking happening. No matter what I mean, California is always on fucking fire.

 

Joel    00:57:21 :   

 Yeah well that’s just cause they’re dumb and they don’t know how to manage money well, but like if you look at it, like if Trump is more than likely going to be reelected and all the crazy radical lefts are going to go bat shit, crazy and protests and riots are going to be insane again.

 

      Jay    00:57:34 :   

   Exactly.

 

Joel    00:57:36 :   

 And then if Trump And then if Trump is taken out all the fucking crazy rednecks in the world are going to come out and just be fucking bat shit crazy.

 

      Jay    00:57:44 :   

   Oh yeah.

 

Joel    00:57:44 :   

 I have a feeling the holidays are just gonna be insane And then, Q1 will happen and then we’ll have a fucking boom in our economy and everything will be okay.

 

      Jay    00:57:53 :   

   For real. But with Trump though, I feel like if he lose, he doesn’t want to give up his throne. I know that’s going to happen. He’s going to say it’s a fraud and all of that type of shit.

 

Joel    00:58:06 :   

 Maybe but he will have to fucking leave. And he is not dumb enough to go to prison to not leave. You know what I mean?

 

      Jay    00:58:13 :   

   Right. Exactly. It’s just.

 

Britain    00:58:17 :  

 Yeah I don’t know. He’s not an idiot. I think, I don’t know. I don’t think with the way shit’s going down, it seems an awful lot, like 2016 plus we saw a lot of shit go down and not a lot on unfold. And I mean, I’ve been talking to a lot of people about this viewpoint. The truth is like a lot, it’s an open to interpretation. So, you know, you may get to your truth to a different viewpoint based on your experiences. And I may have some truth about the same topic based on my experiences that are going to be completely different based on my agreement, uh, upbringing and what I’m, you know, actually going through at the time or in the moment or my vantage point from what I actually saw or whatever. So I feel like, you know, truth is up to interpretation a lot of times, you know, and science a science until it fucking isn’t. And that’s why the science is done over and over and over and over and over and over again. And then sometimes it just doesn’t work. And a lot of these leading theories, you know, that people love to just talk all this shit about, you know, they ignore so much stuff to even be a theory, you know, so science isn’t perfect it does go after and tackle a lot of awesome topics. And it is science. I mean, you can’t refute a lot of that shit, but as far as like, you know, believe in it a hundred percent, you know, you’re like religion, you know, a hundred percent into something that’s basically a cult, right? You get that cultish viewpoint. And to me, I like to have an open mind to things. I like to take a little bit of everything into account. So…

 

Joel    00:59:47 :   

 And people didn’t realize too, like things are like, just because like there’s any type of science or any type of theory, you can talk about fact in general just because it is true in that moment. and in that sample, that does not mean it’s an absolute, I mean, this is exactly why psychology in that entire field itself has become kind of shit because like all these developmental psychology things and all these studies that created what is now, you know, incorporate and, and DSM five and within the psychology practice today has more or less men debunked cause from the seventies and stuff like that. So you think about it. We don’t have huge sample sizes. A scientist have college students to be able to do experiments with, and to be able to get resources from, they don’t have the resources to get a true significant sample. So their co or Pearson coefficients are going to be high, or they’re going to be low because if you’re only sampling, you know, you only have enough money for 200 parts or 200 people for the survey or whatever. You’re never going to have an absolute answer. And I think that’s the problem with everybody in general is we’re looking for absolutes when there is none. And, and the reality is you just kind of have to interpret the data as a individual and figure out what best is going to serve you in your life for that day or that week or whatever.

 

Britain    01:01:14 :   

 I think it’s best to take through thought, you know, through logic and a little bit of theory, you know, with understanding, sitting down with multi-cultural people, different generations its going to have to be a blending of all this. And you know, people are going to have to have those conversations that are hot button and be able to not act a complete fucking fool.

 

      Jay    01:01:36  :  

   Exactly.

 

Britain   01:01:36 :   

 I mean, it’s okay to talk about something and learn something new and to express yourself properly without getting fucking mad.

 

      Jay    01:01:45 :   

   Damn fucking right!

 

Britain    01:01:45 :   

 You don’t have to call people names.

 

Joel    01:01:47 :   

 Right. 

 

Britain    01:01:48 :   

 Labels are something that you got to keep out. So any kind of label has got to stay out of the picture. I mean, you can seriously talk about theory as a theory and not attach your name, your life and your entire wellbeing to that thing So that way, when it gets attacked, you feel like you’re being attacked.

 

      Jay    01:02:05 :   

   Exactly.

 

Joel    01:02:05 :   

 Right.

 

      Jay    01:02:06 :   

   Like me, me and my, me and my buddy, me and him will have a lot of the controversial topics to talk about. We never, like, we’ll never go off on each other one will have one belief and I’ll have the other belief and just have understand each side. 

 

      Jay    01:02:20 :   

   And so like you said, calling them names or, you know what I mean? Like that’s what society is consists of now. Like if you don’t, if they don’t agree with you about something, then, then fuck them your opinion. Don’t matter. My opinion matters. You know what I mean? Like this is what society is built on these days and it’s ridiculous, you know? Like we’re all entitled to expressing ourselves whether you believe it or not. You know.

 

Joel    01:02:47 :   

 I think it’s funny to…

 

Britain    01:02:48 :   

 They need to take some mushrooms.

 

      Jay    01:02:49 :   

   Exactly.

 

Joel    01:02:51 :    

 No, definitely and I think it’s funny, you mentioned that because.

 

      Jay    01:02:55 :  

   Or DMT.

 

Joel    01:02:57 :     

 Oh God. Yes. 

 

Joel    01:03:00 :   

 Id do that right now but anyways I think that is like literally the epitome of what I talked to people about why I think there’s been such an uprising in the conservative community because the conservative community has more, a wider umbrella. That’s like, we don’t give a fuck. What other people think or anything like that. If we disagree with you, we’ll disagree with you. And that’s kind of the end of actually. And it’s just as wild to me.

 

      Jay    01:03:28 :   

   It’s crazy, man. Like people are just, they’re just amped up for no reason. There’s no need to get all angry. If someone disagree or agrees with you about something, you know, like I’ve never understood why people act that way. I’m just like, man, I’m like, bye. You know, just like, okay, if he doesn’t see the same, eye to eye or something, just let it be. Not many people are going to be exactly the same person as you.

 

      Jay    01:03:55 :   

   And one person will have a different belief. You know what I mean? That’s just how life works because we all have the same beliefs and that’s dictatorship and dictatorship, not cool.

 

Britain    01:04:07 :   

 Nah… everybody can create their own little platform or be part of a platform and, and voice their opinion on different platforms. Streams, processes, people .. you know?

 

Joel    01:04:17 :   

 And it doesn’t… in your daily life.

 

      Jay    01:04:21 :   

   Exactly, exactly, man. Like it’s just crazy how society is turned up way soon enough. The future for America is not going to be good. We’re going to, uh, this is all us people, how sensitive we are here in the States. We’re going to have the one to hold somebody’s hand or big brother. Or like Bill Cooper.

 

Britain    01:04:43 :   

 Or we can educate each other.

 

      Jay    01:04:43 :   

   Exactly

 

Britain    01:04:45 :   

 I think that’s a better approach you create the platform, you create a process and you, you go with it and you move and you shoot. You open source it all. You do selth-help or self-help start looking in words and you branch out words, it’s a balloon right up. You got a hand pulling yourself up. You’re pulling somebody up behind you.

 

      Jay    01:05:09 :   

   Most definitely.

 

Joel    01:05:11 :   

 It really is just that. Like, I really feel like the media kind of fuels all this type of side because like, even if you go to, like, I spent like two months in London and they’re fucking practically, they’re halfway socialist. Right. But you go there and people are not PC at all. Like people call each other faggots and cunts and everything else. And it’s just like a big joke. You know, they’re just words and people are not easily offended over there, even though you would think they would be. But then here in America we have to, you know, be a social justice warrior and get on our high horse. Every chance we get.

 

      Jay    01:05:48 :   

   Right. Exactly.

 

Britain    01:05:51 :   

 I mean, a lot of it, a lot of it truly is low vibrational thinking. And uh, when you put out low vibration, you’re going to get back low vibrational. So I think, um, I think there’s a lot of different, you know, magic out there for everybody. And it’s just a matter of finding your own magic, your own process and sticking to it. 

 

Britain    01:06:09 :   

 Good thing. Good thing is, is I’m here to help people get to that point. Um, and I think Joel and I will both have things to offer. I’d love to have you back on and talk more about that to, and dive into some conspiracies and shit like that. But also we got some self-help stuff coming up to where we can be able to help people out, understand, you know, themselves maybe better.

 

      Jay    01:06:32 :   

   Most definitely. I was going to add one thing to what you were saying. Like we’re, uh, yeah, cause we’re, we’re vibe, we’re vibrational beings, you know what I mean? We react to certain vibrations. If we react to negative vibrations, then we’re going to act negative. If we’re going to react to positive and we’re going to react positive and then all your environment around you is going to be that way. You know what I mean? It’s all about how you’re sending off your vibrations. 

 

Joel    01:07:00 :  

 Absolutely.

 

Britain    01:07:00 :   

 I agree. A hundred percent man.

 

Joel    01:07:03 :   

 And then tie that back into your music. It’s the same thing, with music, I mean, exactly, exactly. Trying to remember the term of it. I’m want to say it’s harmonic proportion or something like that, but it’s basically the theory in music where every sound is a mathematical number. I mean, that’s why we have, you know, four beats or whatever. I don’t know shit about music, but I just remember learning in school, but you know yeah. I mean like everything is mathematical. Everything is on a series of vibrations.

 

      Jay    01:07:35 :   

   Exactly it’s all on the frequencies level. You know, you have your high and low and your mid.

 

Britain    01:07:44 :  

 Yeah, I think, uh, I think the entire group of, uh, collective consciousness that is the human race on this planet is going higher. They are sending hiring in consciousness and like vibrations, but I think that we’re going off slow and that, uh, you know, if we just talk about things a little bit better and try and express what we’re actually thinking, we’ll figure out that we’re probably all getting to the same place just a different times.

 

Joel    01:08:14 :  

 No, definitely. 

 

Britain    01:08:18 :   

 But I definitely greatly appreciate you coming on. We did run a little long for our first episode. Um, I’d love to have you.

 

      Jay    01:08:25 :  

   Most definitely. I’m down. I’m down for future Podcast I’m down for it, man.

 

Britain    01:08:33 :   

 Absolutely. So, uh, get those, uh, you know, projects going and uh, I’m definitely going to get some pieces again. So if you want guys, uh, again, I’ll look, I’ll put it down in the bio, but you can, you can find Jay on YouTube and, and, uh, what is it Band Camp?

 

      Jay    01:08:48 :   

   Band Camp, SoundCloud.

 

Britain    01:08:50 :   

 SoundCloud. Uh, yeah. Any last thoughts fellas?

 

Joel    01:08:54 :    

 We’ll have everything plugged in just as a reminder at Beard X Brain forward slash Podcast, you’ll be able to find this show as well as all the show notes and the transcript so that, you know, if there’s anything you want to go back to, we’ll make sure that there’s timestamps and all that. Um, but yeah, I really appreciate everything. Jay I mean, you have been a phenomenal sport. It was a great conversation. I enjoyed it.

 

      Jay    01:09:20 :    

   Me too, man. I appreciate all the love to man.

 

Britain    01:09:27 :    

 Not a problem, man. Thank you all. Thank you everybody for listening to our inaugural, our very first premiere, the first episode of Beard and Brain Podcast.

 

Joel    01:09:39 :    

 We’ll look forward to next week since it’s going to be fun.

 

      Jay    01:09:44 :    

   Fa sho.

 

Britain    01:09:45 :    

 Absolutely.

 

Joel    01:09:47 :    

 Alright guys…… BYE BITCHES!!!
