The Pilot and I

Jimmy is starting a podcast called "Kicking It Back with Jimmy". He never thought he would start a podcast, but hopes to give his listeners the best quality audio. He plans to have guests and talk about himself and his interests, including music. Jimmy was born in California and moved to Utah after his parents' divorce. He had a tough childhood and learned English as a second language. He went from being bullied to becoming a bully to being a class clown. He enjoys making people laugh and bringing them enjoyment. Music has always been important to him, especially rock and roll. He connects with others through music and it has helped him express himself. Hey, hey, you guys. How's it going? Welcome to the Pilate Denied. This is my first episode here. When we started opening this podcast, I guess it's when I started calling it Kicking It Back with Jimmy. So that's my name, Jimmy. Welcome, welcome. Wow. It's wonderful to start doing this kind of stuff. I'm going to be honest with you, I never really thought that I would start a podcast. I'd like to thank all you guys who happened to stumble upon it. Maybe I'm a little too close. I don't know. I've got some people and some friends that do this kind of stuff. And hopefully once I sample it to them and while they hear this first episode and see, they're going to be like, hey, you know what? Maybe your mouth is a little too close. But yeah, no. No. Hey, I just want to be able to give you guys the best quality audio, I guess you could say, right? Definitely going to be perfect the first time. It's going to sound like garbage, but hey, that's what it sounds like. That's what it starts out with, right? Anyways, how's it going? Hey, everything okay? Now, I'm a little bit of a joker. So, well, let's first start this out. Kind of talking a little bit about myself and what this podcast is going to mean to me and then what we're going to be looking forward in the future. And, you know, little things here and there. We're going to have some people come on board and talk about themselves a little bit and maybe have some artists on here. I've got a few selections of some people out there that do current music right now and some producers. I don't know exactly who they are. But anyways, this is going to be about me first. So let's get this thing started. Well, first things first. I guess I'll tell you where I was born. California. Good old Cali. Pomona, California, to be exact. P-Town. Right there on LA County. All you guys listening from LA, how's it going? I'm one of you, even though I'm currently residing in blank. I can't tell you where I live right now because I don't want to have any stalkers. Yeah, no. No stalkers or stalkers. Who knows? I never had a stalker before. I thought about it. I thought maybe I did have one or maybe I didn't. Kind of one of those paranoid delusion type of things. But I'm just saying, if you are a stalker and you're listening to this, thank you. Thank you so much for finding me interesting. Anyways, yeah. I'm the oldest of four. I still can't stop thinking about the stalker. Yeah, oldest of four. Pretty rough childhood. Well, I guess not as rough as most people out there who probably had it much tougher than I did. But at least for me, it was pretty tough. Okay. So calm your shit. No. Anyways, yeah. Finally four. I was the oldest of four. But originally it was just my brother and I. And living in California with my cousins and stuff, they were kind of like my siblings. I mean, so in that case, I was the baby. I was the youngest of four. But no, yeah. First language is Spanish. It probably doesn't sound like it. Most people who know me are like, what? How is Spanish your first language? And I was like, yeah, I don't know. I sound very white. Obviously I'm not. From the picture you're probably going to see from the podcast. But anyways, yeah. Spanish is my first language. I went to an elementary school called Lincoln Elementary. I don't know if it's still there now. I haven't visited there for a while. But it was awesome. Oh, and also a really good spot when I was a kid, when I was growing up, Goldilocks. Everyone who's listening from P-Town, you all know. You know, Goldilocks. Well, at least it was the place to go to way back in the day. I'm not sure how it is nowadays. I need to go back there and visit. It's been a long time since I've actually seen Pomona. But yeah. And then I believe by the age of eight, eight or nine, I believe, my parents got divorced and my mom decided to move to Utah. And Utah was an eye-opening experience. I was bullied. I went to an elementary school that was primarily English and not knowing any English myself. I had to go into ESL and learn English myself because Spanish was my first language, like I said earlier. So I finally decided to start learning how to speak English. And God, the bully, the bullied became the bully. Yeah. I started picking on kids and it was not pretty. Sorry for everyone who knows me. And well, they probably don't know me for my nickname, but probably from the picture and stuff. And I've actually been able to talk to somebody, I've recently seen them and I apologized to them because I was his bully. Anyways, yeah, anyways, yeah. But my first concert I ever went to was a group called Aguares. And it was a really special time. I believe I was four or five years old. And my mom took me to go watch them. It was awesome. Being very young, not a whole lot of people have any memories, but some people retain some memories from way back in the day. And that's what I remember. I remember going to the concert and just having a good time. And again, I'm always having a good time. Yeah, kind of bouncing a little bit around here, but I'm going unscripted. I want you guys to know that kind of how my mentality goes. Some people say I have ADHD. Maybe I do. I don't know. But yeah, so now I'm in Utah and got to meet a lot of good people, got to meet a lot of friends. But again, I kind of went from being bullied to becoming the bully to now just being a class clown. And I always wanted to give people enjoyment. I wanted people to have fun. I wanted people to just be able to forget that they are having a rough life. So I kind of will injure myself sometimes. And other times I will be an idiot and do some dumb shit. I did some dumb shit. Sometimes for money. Call me a whore. But no, yeah. Let's see here. Let's see. I think it's a good one here. Okay. Yeah, I ran one time. So this kid, he said, hey, I'll give you $5 if you run headfirst right into that brick wall over there. And I was like, $5? Hell yeah, bro. I can do it for $5. It's nothing. So I ran headfirst in this thing. And I don't know what was smarter, to be honest with you. But I went face first and then busted a tooth. I did not get the $5. No, that's such an idiot. But yeah, no. Or for example, I was in junior high or middle school back in the day, that's how they called it. And I was part of the leadership program. And in the leadership program, the teachers there, they were doing words or values that we should live by, right? Like respect and trust and honesty and integrity and all that stuff. But I was assigned to be Mr. X. Now, Mr. X is the guy who is trying to fit in but wasn't really fitting in. Very much like me. Type of person who's trying to fit into the crowd but can't seem to really fit in. But I was trying. And this whole thing, they asked me to wear a tutu. They asked me to wear a tutu. So now I'm this 13, 14-year-old dancing around an auditorium with a tutu on. I'm sorry. But yeah, no. It's, yeah. Enjoyment. I love to bring people smiles. And I like to hear them laugh. And I'm not the funniest person in the world, but I'm most certainly the funniest looking person. So I mean, I'm bringing enjoyment somehow, right? But anyways, it's the high school. High school was awesome. So that's kind of where, I guess, my track of listening to music and listening to different kinds of music and stuff really came into play. I met a really good friend. I'm going to keep people's names private. So I mean, if they hear and come about this stuff, they know it's them and stuff. But I'm not going to say it on here unless they are okay with me saying it. And they obviously have my number. So they're going to be like, yeah, go ahead and say my name is fine. But anyways, I'm just going to keep their names private. But I met one of my, he was one of my closest friends. And the way that all this started, I guess, like I was saying before was when I, he came up to me and he was like, hey, are you heard from California? And I was like, yeah, he's like, dude, me too. And I was like, dude, that's awesome. And then he was like, dude, do you know the Beatles at all? I was like, no, I don't know the Beatles at all. And he showed me a song. It was Octopus's Garden from the Beatles. That was my, I guess, intro to the type of music that I listen to and stuff. And then throughout the years, we just listened to different kinds of songs and we just got really into it. And my personality is really strange or not really to some people. Maybe some of you guys will be understanding on this, but I've never been really want to express or be able to express my emotions or be able to express my thoughts and stuff, at least in a very linear way. Like I said, I may have ADHD. Who knows? But anyways, yeah, so I'll be in any kind of relationship that I've ever been in or not just in a romantic, but friendships and even just acquaintances, even people who I just barely met and stuff. I've always connected through music. And my usual questions is like, what type of music do you listen to? Right. But in my era nowadays, everyone kind of listens to everything. So my question kind of transferred more so is like, which genre would you listen to or would you choose to listen to most likely? Some people will say it's where I'm feeling, but even whenever I'm feeling for me has always been rock and roll, at least for the last 15 years, 16 years. I'm getting old. So yeah, rock and roll has always been a kind of thing of mine. I mean, I listen to different, I listen to pop, EDM and hip hop, R&B, old school rap. And I listen to a lot of stuff. Like I said, it's our generation. So we kind of grew up with the whole, we're from cassettes first, right? And then from cassettes to CDs and then CDs now to MP3 players, to MP3 players to now we've got our iPhones. We got literally a whole ass computer in the palm of our hands. So we kind of just grew up with music, right? But my topic of choice, my genre of choice would always be rock and roll, will always be hard rock. So anyways, at that case, my brother, he one day was listening to this song. It's called Welcome Home from Coheed and Cambria. And I don't know, it's just something inside of me just like lit this spark. And I was just like, dude, who is these guys? And my brother, he's like, dude, I don't know idea. And I was like, dude, let's figure this out. So we started figuring it out. And we, like I said, we found that it was Coheed and Cambria. And we bought their third album, we bought the third album, our first album. And they had Welcome Home in it and everyone knows that song. And well, like I said, it ended up becoming my favorite band. So in a future episode, you guys are going to hear the song. And so some people are like, I never heard of them before. You've heard of them before. Everyone says that you've heard of them before. But anyways, that Coheed and Cambria kind of started and that's actually going to be the second episode. It's actually going to be this next band I'm talking about. It's called the Airborne Toxic Event. Now the Airborne Toxic Event is pretty funny. I thought they were a hard rock band. They're not. Anyone who knows them, they're not hard rock at all. But that's what I decided to do it. But anyways, yeah, but many relationships that I've been in, like I said before, mainly is the romantic ones is where, like I said, the people who were involved with me, uh, they know that I, I, I would, I don't, um, I don't know how to explain it at all, really. So, so I connect emotionally with, with music. And I mean, it doesn't, it kind of goes way back in the day. So, um, the reason, the reason I'm creating all this that way, not only for you guys' enjoyment and for you guys to learn different bands and kind of be able to see what, what, what's really out there and stuff, maybe some things you've heard, some things you haven't heard, we'll get a little discography of some of the bands and, and, uh, get into their past and things that you knew, things you didn't know and, and what it really means for the people, you know, because everyone connects to a certain group, to a certain artist, um, because of the messages they say, right? And that's, and for me, it's been a plethora of, of, of, uh, of artists that do that for me. Uh, every time I listen to any kind of song, my memory kind of cuts in, right? So that's the reason why we started creating this is because I want, I, I would like to know, um, and really get into the nitty gritty as to what, uh, sparks in your mind when you hear that song. I will go listen to what, what's, what's the first thing that pops up. Um, and I'm going to be completely honest. I'm going to be upfront, um, about what this stuff is. Again, people's names are going to be, uh, are not going to be involved in any of it. So that way it'll protect them. And I don't want, I want to make sure that they are, um, uh, yeah, I don't want them, they know who they are and stuff like that, but no one else needs to know who they are. So unless again, they would decide to decide to come on the podcast and, and, you know, but anyways, yeah, no, this is a, this is all about, um, this is about you guys. This is about, um, this is going to be mainly about me. I won't be honest with you. I, I, I, I needed an outlet and I wanted to see what, what kind of stuff I can, I'll be able to do. And, and, uh, and like I said, I have a really good, really good friend of mine. Um, she was actually the one who, uh, said, I'll be really good at making a podcast. And then I have a voice for a podcaster. And I was like, I don't, I don't think I do, but, um, uh, after hearing myself and I, I definitely don't, I definitely do not have the voice for a podcaster. Um, but I'm trying, um, uh, uh, I want to make sure again, that this is fun and enjoyable for everybody. Uh, this is not a very long episode. And I guess that it's just mainly about, uh, what is to be expected for the future. So, um, I don't know how to end some of this stuff right here. So we're just, I'm just going to say, Hey, thanks for, thanks for kicking back a little bit. Um, thanks for, um, coming up on this and, and, uh, and coming on to a journey with me. Um, we're coming to the journey together. We're rowing some boats. We're, we're flying to skies who we're, we're, uh, we're being, uh, what is it? What's that word? Stampede. We're stampeding, uh, into emotions and, uh, and stampeding into reality. And, uh, but yeah, no, this is, this is, uh, hopefully this, this gives you a little something to, uh, to come with me, to come on the journey with me and, uh, yeah, not to get too, uh, not to get too, uh, emotional about it. That's for me. And like I said, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna edit these things too much. Um, unless some things that don't need to be said are on here, but, uh, I'm going to be, like I said, I'm just gonna, I'm rolling with the punches here. We're going to go unscripted. We're going to go raw. We're going to go all this stuff, you know, no, very little editing, editing, mainly, hopefully it's just going to be about music and stuff like that. And how to, how I'm going to be able to mix it in with the, with the podcast and stuff. And, but, uh, anyways, yeah, like I said, you guys, thank you so much for coming on here. Thank you for kicking it with me for a little bit. Thanks for, um, kind of hearing my story and seeing as to why I'm doing this, um, kind of brushed a little bit off a little bit. So I don't know, maybe I'll do another recording. Maybe not. Maybe I'm just going to release this one and say, fuck it. You know what they were like, this is me. This is, this is, this is what I'm, this is what I'm working with. This is what you're going to be working with. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea, but fuck it, dude. They're like, fuck. Yeah, dude. No, I'm going to fuck. Um, also, yeah, this is going to be a very explicit, uh, podcast. So, um, again, there's going to be no holds barred everyone. This is, uh, this is going to, this is going to be, I want emotions to really run through this. And sometimes maybe you don't need to swear, but I'm going to swear. That's, that's just me. Don't change me. Anyways, you guys, thank you so much for coming on here. Uh, you guys have a, you guys have a really good day. All right. Be safe. Be awesome. Uh, kick ass. All right. Love y'all. Have a good one. Bye.
