00:00cool things when we were in Zimbalas what was that we had a table full of food
00:03and we what was that called yeah where we ate with our hands oh Buddha fight
00:08yeah that was cool there was just yeah a lot of we've had a lot of great
00:15experiences hard to remember that all of all the top of our heads but amazing
00:19stuff we've known your band from before and then you transition into music
00:25travel love for the two of you Bob and Clint what was the concept behind it
00:30like the story goes we were driving in a in a in our beat-up Chevy what was a
00:38Malibu 92 Malibu beat up Chevy Malibu and we were just kind of wondering you know
00:44what what we what we wanted to do you know he had just had a son I think his
00:49son was only like three or four months old at the time and you know we were just
00:54chatting about what was important to us in our lives you know we had done a
00:57lot of things you know the Moffat's brought us a lot of joy a lot of success
01:00in our lives and we you know we were trying to build other things out and and
01:05at some point we just kind of asked ourselves what's important to us and the
01:09biggest things were music travel and love you know family spending making sure
01:13that whatever we decided we wanted to do we were to spend a lot of time with our
01:16family we didn't want to be on a tour bus you know 300 days a year and not see
01:20our kids grow up grow up so music travel love was something that really felt
01:25good and you know just at that time when we were deciding to do this there were
01:31there were some things kind of becoming popular on social media one of them
01:36was there was a guy out in Bali that was taking photos at amazing locations
01:41waterfalls just beautiful backgrounds and he was placing himself in these
01:45beautiful places and we just thought it was a cool idea to pair that with music
01:49and we hadn't really seen that before but we thought it would it would kind of
01:53enhance the music I don't think we realized that it was we were creating a
01:58brand at the time but I think we just wanted to create interesting content for
02:01YouTube and over the course of time I think it's with the consistency our fans
02:07have kind of come to know us as people who kind of show them beautiful places and it
02:12kind of lets people escape into these great places that they didn't know existed in the
02:17music and then how do you choose the songs that you'd cover or like have you
02:22ever thought of creating an original one we've done quite a few originals we've
02:28probably done five or six maybe a little bit more original music Christmas songs
02:32we typically write a Christmas song for at the end of every year we have a lot of
02:37fun doing that but as far as the songs go you know there's just so many great
02:40songs and typically we just pick a song that is something that we've loved for a
02:44long time and something that comes to us really naturally there's just so many
02:51songs that we grew up listening to and sometimes we pick up an acoustic guitar
02:55and we feel like oh this this is gonna be great and we hash it out it turns out
02:59that it doesn't actually always sound great and we should probably just spend a
03:03little you know not do it yet you know songs take time even even though we do a
03:08lot of our stuff it sounds like it's similar you know because it's just on the
03:10acoustic guitar and vocal majority of time it does take a long time to kind of
03:15understand a song well enough that when you sit down and you sing it it sounds
03:19like it's your song and so you know yeah but it just takes a minute to kind of
03:27understand how you want to sing it the key that works well for you the tempo that
03:32works well for you the feel the groove because that's that's the thing that
03:35makes artists unique and different right I mean I think the formula of songwriting
03:38has people have figured it out the great songwriters have figured out the
03:42formulas you know from Ed Sheeran to Brian Adams to Elton John and the list goes on
03:47you know most of the time when you start to strip these songs back to just a
03:51acoustic guitar you realize that they're very similar but different and the things
03:56that make them different is is you know the the interpretation of the artist the
04:01rhythm and the groove and the feel in how they sing you know a song performed by
04:06Michael Jackson performed by Barry Gibbs gonna sound like a very different
04:10record or Brian Adams and that's just the percept that's just perspective of
04:16being a great artist and having your own your own I don't know vision on how you
04:21hear it and so for us we try to do the same thing and it takes a long time
04:25sometimes sometimes it comes a little more natural than others certain songs but
04:29there's certain songs that push us and make us work you know to really
04:33understand it how do you choose the people that you would work with that's
04:38easier I mean you know when you work with talented people it makes your entire
04:42world around you better you know I mean if you can find people that can can
04:48complement what you do it just it enhances so we're always looking for
04:52amazing talent and our brothers you know just so happens to be one of them and so
04:58we've been able to collaborate with him and do some great stuff together and and I
05:02hope we can do some more in the future with collaborations it just comes down to
05:07the voice number one and then the person you know the person is really important
05:11luckily here in the Philippines there's so many amazing people as well on top of
05:16that are kind and I mean that you can have a great voice but if you're not kind you
05:21know you you know you're you're it's a little harder to work with you so for us this
05:26country has given us an immense amount of talent to dive into and and work with and I think Bob
05:33and I also one of our one of the things we love more than anything is helping other artists you
05:39know
05:39find their sound and achieve their best we've been able to do that with quite a few
05:45how did that work out for you that plan that you can have a work-life balance like pursue your
05:52passion
05:53at the same time have time for your families what do you think Dave how do you do how do
05:59you balance
05:59your life man well I don't balance my life my life is just work that's all I do but you
06:07guys have
06:08families so this question is true that is true we have families and I think it's really important
06:13uh if you do have families you know to to make time you know because life is short and it
06:21really
06:21is you know the older that you get the more you realize uh how quickly it goes by and I
06:27think you
06:27have to also you know it's it's a challenge you know in life there's lots of things there's lots of
06:34moving parts and there's responsibilities but at the end of the day um sometimes people forget that
06:40they're they they make their own decisions you know we you know for us to be able to have time
06:45and spend time with our family you have to make those decisions you have to sometimes be willing to
06:49say no to things you have to sometimes be willing to say yes to things you know and so at
06:54the end of
06:54the day you just have to take ownership of the fact that hey you know what this can wait this
07:02is
07:02what's important to me prioritize the things in your life that matter and once you start doing
07:07that living like that it gets a little bit easier to to prioritize things okay
