06:31the roads got kind of dicey but we made it and uh good thing we left that night because yeah i mean
06:37all new england was shut down yeah on saturday hey i wanted to ask and uh ask you g with uh you know
06:43with how we're communicating now uh zoom kind of being a product of of uh uh the pandemic i mean the
06:48the technology already existed but it really took off when when people were you know uh shacked in
06:53at home and and wanted to uh to hang out and we found this now a new way to to do interviews in a
06:59better way because we can see you you can see us and there's something about that connection um what
07:03about with with musicians and being able to uh to maybe collaborate and and using this technology
07:09and you know because we saw people getting together and doing jam sessions and stuff like that
07:13have you been using it more to to hook up with with friends and musically and play or write or do
07:18things like that yeah actually um i mean not so much now that we're kind of hopefully getting back
07:24to normal but yeah i mean during the spring uh the beginning of the spring of the pandemic and that
07:31summer i was doing like zoom guitar lessons zoom songwriting sessions actually i was doing um
07:37shots out to this kid in philly named noah gibney we wrote 13 songs and um you know he got a he made
07:43a record out of it so you know we did a lot of we did a lot of uh of writing and communication like
07:49that and then i was doing like i do like zoom parties you know and uh live streams but yeah it's
07:56it's just it's yeah i'm all zoomed out man yeah it's just listen while it's cool it's just not the
08:03same it's not the same yeah yeah it's funny because i was wondering i was like am i just calling in on
08:09these guys are we zooming um yeah i agree it's like it's fun it's a whole new thing you know it's fun
08:16it's funny because right before the pandemic um i was taking um vocal lessons on tour before every show
08:25and uh and so my new teacher had got me hip to zoom so i was like hip to zoom before yeah and i was
08:31like what opinions yeah you know zoom yeah a lot of a lot of stuff's happened this past year you know
08:40what what's up with the uh wmmr nft wait i want to know all about your nfts i just saw this you have
08:47the juice gang plus your blazed ape i want to hear all about your nfts oh yeah okay so yeah so we have
08:53nft out now it's called juice gang and uh it's a celebration of the grammy nominated the juice
08:59record uh from characters from all our animated videos that went with that record and people want
09:04to check that out they can go to nft philadelphonic.com and um yes it's cool uh you know the the
09:12the crypto community and nft community is is a really it's a really happening space and uh
09:18uh so some dude hit me on twitter and he was from philly and he must work on some nfts called blazed
09:26apes smokers unit or something that's like one of the biggest nfts out there right now yeah so they
09:31made like a g level with a harmonica that's pretty cool all right so i i need i need you to tell me
09:36though when when you were approached by you know about nfts and so did you fully understand it the first
09:42time it was explained to you do you still understand it now that you're a part of it
09:47i don't get it i just i mean it's a way to make money but i don't know
09:52and like let's see do you understand are you trying to make some money yeah there you go
09:59look no on a serious note though i always say to to people that you know like which is something that
10:04someone told me in in 2017 like you're trying to wrap your head around like what is bitcoin or what is
10:11what is this you know this this just doesn't make sense and then this dude's like look just get a
10:16coinbase account you know put a hundred bucks or 500 bucks whatever you want to put in and just start
10:20just get your feet wet so that's what i did and uh i've been into it for a while actually it's pretty
10:24cool there's this guy scott melker uh and he's from florida but he was a philly kid for a while he's
10:30a dj at glam and a lot of places down in old city and um he's like now the dan rather of of crypto like
10:38he's like got a huge huge uh following it's unbelievable well it's it's funny how it vacillates
10:44and then a lot of people start running towards and then they run away from it but it seems to appeal
10:48to a lot of people who want to have a little bit more control over what their their currency is worth
10:53you know and there's it's it's a um listen again for as much as i i dive in and try to understand it
11:00fully i only scratched the surface and a lot of people i know who really seem to understand it still
11:06don't quite seem to understand it so it's still in that shaking out process well i will tell you
11:12this um i got hacked two weeks ago huh and uh like i did a stupid a really stupid thing i gave up uh
11:21you have to be careful because like there's websites like there's this um like the nft
11:27trading website the main one's called open sea and i googled open sea and i pressed on like a
11:32fishing site there was like an exact replica of that website you know what i'm saying it looked
11:37like it it acted like it you could not tell the difference and um i gave up what's called you know
11:43your your seed phrase and you're so stupid and man they they took me they cleaned me out oh my god it
11:51was the worst feeling ever man like at one minute i'm looking at my you know my wallet stack because i was
11:57about to buy all this stuff it's gone where'd it go oh no may i ask how much you lost i i lost over
12:06fifty thousand dollars oh my god oh my god jesus christ we're gonna start a gofundme
12:16well people can buy tickets to the show at the tla that's how you're funny you can help out
12:19or they could buy my nft they could do that too yeah what's cool about your nfts is they come with
12:26um albums they come with signed posters chance to win tickets so um that is a big thing about nfts
12:33is that you're only getting this digital file that you can like display on your wall or take a
12:38screenshot of but you're giving more to it so congratulations on blowing it up and making it
12:42more tangible yeah it's uh it's cool you know it's cool to just kind of jump into a new creative
12:49space you know so that that's what's happening you know nice all right well listen gee when's
12:53a new record coming out again and it's uh it's philadelphia new records dropping in june it'll be
