Hard Kombucha edited

Picasso and Lushwing are starting a podcast. They decided to do it together because it would be more fun to have someone to talk to instead of talking to themselves. They started the podcast after Lushwing needed help cutting a watch off her wrist. Picasso came over and used clippers to remove it. They decided to start the podcast impulsively after that. Picasso recently took a trip to Spain and Germany. In Berlin, he saw a lot of graffiti and tall buildings. The city had a different vibe than Los Angeles, but both had graffiti and an industrial feel. He didn't see any Nazis but saw a lot of feminist protestors. The people in Berlin were friendly and spoke English, but it was colder there. The girls were dressed for the cold weather. Overall, Picasso had a good time in Germany and it was a good break from his relationship. Hello, this is Picasso and this is Lushwing and you are listening to the Hard Kombucha Podcast. Thank you. Let's go. All right. So let's kick this off. What do you want to talk about first? So many things. Actually the first thing is why are we even starting a podcast? Well, I don't know. You've been bugging me to start a podcast since I met you. That is not true. Well, not from initially, but you've been bugging me for a long time, so we're finally doing it. Well, actually, it's not even just you that I'm bugging. I've been bugging myself for a very long time. Like I was out in New Orleans. I was just like, I'm going to start a podcast, bought all the equipment, and then I had to leave. And then so I sold everything and I came here and then you came into the picture. Hey, that's me. So how I see it is you're my accountability partner, and I thought it would be more fun to have a podcast where I'm actually talking to someone instead of talking to myself. No, I get that. I get that. Yeah. Well, this is fun so far. Fun so far. So can you tell us how we ended up making a podcast today? Well, yeah, actually, uh, Lushuang, you know, she called me up last night saying she had like a watch stuck on her wrist and then like, I didn't see it till like maybe 20 minutes later because I just gotten home from work. And then I was like, what? And then, uh, and she was like, it's exactly how it, how it sounds. And she showed me a picture and everything. And then she was like, you got any tools to cut metal? And then I was like, uh, yeah, but you could wait till the morning. So, uh, yeah, like I came over this morning and I got like, uh, the clippers I used to cut like studs, like when I do construction and then, uh, and then I cut that watch off of it, you know, but she was all squeamish, you know, it took a while to get her to like actually let me do it. Hey, that's one point of view. How I saw it was there's this watch that, okay, it's so tiny on my wrist and somehow I got it on. Right. And at the end of the day, it occurred to me that I want to take it off before I went to bed because it was starting to be uncomfortable. And that's when it hit me that I could not take off the watch last resort. We're going to have to cut this thing off. And when you came over, I was squeamish because just imagine having like metal against your skin, it just feels like the metal is going to go into your skin, you know? And then finally the finale came and the thing went flying and here we are. So I was like, what better way to start off the day than to impulsively start a podcast? Finally. Yep. Get some stuff done. All right. So tell me, what have you been up to in life? I've been just chilling, you know, working a lot. I just got back from, I took a trip to Spain and then also a little trip to Germany while I was over there. Wait, you went to Germany too? Yeah, I did. I spent three days in Berlin. I see. And what was the difference between Spain and Germany? Did you see the Nazis? No, I didn't see any Nazis there. I saw a lot of people protesting, a lot of feminist ladies, you know, blue hair women. What were they protesting? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. It was like Women's Day or something. Oh my gosh. I want to join in. I love blue. Actually, the girl who was checking out my groceries had blue hair and I was commenting on it. She was great. Go feminist. I mean, that's all you, you know. Good for you. Well, yeah. No, it was beautiful in Berlin. You know, it's like the graffiti capital of the world, you know. I saw a lot of beautiful graffiti everywhere. And like the city was very like industrial, you know, like the metro and the train stations is like beautiful. And just like a lot of tall buildings, a lot of nice graffiti. I saw the Berlin Wall too. What is the difference between Berlin and Los Angeles? I mean, both cities have graffiti, both are pretty industrial. I mean, I'm assuming there's a lot of people. Yeah. No, it was actually very similar to Los Angeles, except for that it was like, it was a lot colder than Los Angeles. And I don't know. It's just a little bit different vibe, you know, like Los Angeles kind of has that sunny like California vibes a little bit, a little bit of that, you know, Hollywood swag, you know. Germany is a little different. They don't have swag? No, they got swag. It's just Berlin swag, you know. What's the Berlin swag? I don't know. It's a different kind of swag. It's a different energy. Let's see. Are people arrogant? I wouldn't say they're arrogant. I mean, like in my experience, like they weren't that friendly, but like most of them spoke English. So it was easy for me to communicate with them. I see. What were the girls like? Are they super dressed up? I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather, pretty much. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. I mean, they're all dressed for like the cold weather. No way! Yes way.

I didn't go there to break up with her. I didn't go there to break up with her. I didn't go there to break up with her. Well, in case y'all don't know, we're broadcasting from San Diego, and we are in Leanne's room right now, and I'm noticing some interesting decor. Like, you got some, uh, look like gold medals or something. Are you a gold medalist in anything? Oh, yeah. I was an honors student three years in a row. Oh, they give gold medals for that? Yeah, and then on top of that, I was just winning awards left and right. I'm telling you, I'm special. Yeah, what kind of awards were you winning? Um, I think I started collecting awards when I was in sixth grade, and I've won anything from honors student to the science fair to a band award to some sort of, like, club award. It was a lot. Yeah. I was trying hard. Well, there you go. I mean, you got the medals to show for it. And then you know what I realized come high school? Yeah. I did not give a shit. It was like once I achieved what I, like, had set out to do come high school, I think after freshman year, I went through three different high schools. Yeah. And you might be like, why is that? And honestly, I just didn't want to study anymore. I didn't want to study the same bullshit thing and do the same boring, busy work. I was more invested in learning about the world and actually making money and like going out there and working. But that was a lot of conflicting interests. So yeah, three different schools later, here she is about to be a college dropout. Okay. Okay. Very nice. Very nice. I mean, that's the name of a Kanye West album, so. What? College Dropout? Yeah. So, I mean, there you go. What about you, Gavin? What? I mean, you've spoken to me about education before, but what, why did you hate school? I just never, like, I don't know. I've never really liked school. I mean, like, I remember watching, like, this cartoon called, like, Balloony Toons. So, like, it's not the original Balloony Toons, but, like, it was, like, a later adaption. And then, like, Daffy Duck was telling some kid, he's like, school is like prison, you know. I should know, I've been to both, you know. You learned from a duck that school is prison? No, I mean, but it just, I don't know, it's just weird for me because, like, when I was, I was homeschooled, like, a large portion of my life because, like, my mother was very religious. So, like, she pulled me out of school, but, you know, one of the reasons she pulled me out of school was, like, you know, like, they had her, like, meet with my teacher, like, the principal or something. And, like, they basically told her that, like, oh, they're going to have to, like, medicate me or something. Oh, do you have ADHD? Well, yeah, I had ADHD. I mean, I don't really think, like, my opinion on that is probably different than a lot of people's. But, like, for me, I don't think it's right to medicate a kid for ADHD. Like, I think all kids, like, screw off and act silly, you know, like, whether they're medicated or not, you know. And I honestly just, I don't think it's ever good to take medication unless you, like, absolutely have to. Right. I think that's more just on the fault of the teacher for not knowing how to keep, like, kids, like, behave. So, was there an ultimatum that was presented to you or your mom that you were either going to stay in the public school system and be medicated or leave and be homeschooled without the medications? I mean, I don't know exactly how it went down, but I know, like, my mom got very offended. So, like, she pulled me out of school. And just, like, you know, it's very religious. It's kind of like, you know, school is the devil kind of thing. But, I mean, I kind of agree with you, though. Like, I don't, I'm not a big fan of school. Like, I went to public high school, and I don't know. I just don't like the way people view education, like, especially, like, college education. Like, in high school, like, they would always tell me, oh, yeah, you don't want to get stuck, like, working, like, a blue-collar job or something. Because those people are losers or whatever. Like, that's the way, like, the teachers would have you view it. Like, even though, like, they're, like, those people are making more money than they are, you know, like, doing hard work. But in school, they teach you to, like, be afraid of doing hard work, you know. And then, like, it's something to be frowned on. But I don't know. I just didn't, I never liked that elitist mentality, you know. Like, people say, oh, you have to go to college, you know. Or, like, if you don't have a college degree, like, you ain't shit to me, you know. Like, you don't matter. Or, like, your opinion doesn't matter on anything if you, like, if you don't have this college degree or whatever. Because to me, like, you know, a lot of these people, like, aren't that smart, you know. Like, going to school or having a degree doesn't mean you're smart. It just means that you, like, sat through all the bullshit and did, like, all the minimum effort work to get through, you know. Well, there's pros and cons with everything. And I would say earning those medals was not minimum effort. I did have to put in effort. But the thing is that it's a very structured effort. Yeah, it's a lot of ass-kissing. Yeah, I would say that. Yeah. No, that's why they teach you to hate, like, working hard or doing, like, blue-collar work. Because they want you to, like, kiss ass, you know. Those are the kind of people that hate kissing people's ass. Why? Doing their own thing? Building their own businesses? Yeah, no, they like to do their own thing, you know. But, like, to make it in, like, the sort of white-collar world or, like, you know, where you need a college education and all that. Like, you have to do a lot of ass-kissing and a lot of brown-nosing, you know. What's brown-nosing? It's just like ass-kissing, you know. It's another term for it. They call it brown-nosing because if you're kissing their ass, like, your nose is going to be brown. Ew! Yeah, it's kind of nasty, but, like, that's the term people use. I guess I never saw it from that perspective, though. That if you were to choose the more elitist way, get a college degree and work in a corporate world, where there are a lot of pros, right? Like, once you get a degree, it's a lot easier to transition into that world. And once you're in that world, the pay does not fluctuate as much as if you were to go the other route and be a blue-collar business person. Or you can be a white-collar business person. It doesn't matter. But doing your own thing is just a lot harder. There's no guarantee, you know. And you might end up working your entire life. And what if your thing doesn't blossom? Yeah, but you can't say it's going to blossom if you had a degree. That's not guaranteed, either. I know a lot of people who got degrees and didn't do shit after getting a degree. There are so many pathways, though. Because I think how a lot of people see it is they'll get their degree to land a corporate job that ensures stability so that they can funnel some of that money into doing their own thing. And once their side passion, hustle, can stand on its own, that's when they quit their stability to work on their passion. I don't ding them for wanting that. Because, I mean, I'm Asian. I would say I grew up in a very stereotypical and at the same time not stereotypical Asian household. Where, yeah, being a doctor, an engineer, you know, those core jobs was a good thing. Because it meant that you could sustain the ability to survive post-grad. And I still have a lot of conflicting feelings towards it. Like, my mom was done with my degree. I'm like, I just need to get it done. Yeah. So this is why we have this podcast. I mean, what degree are you trying to get? Okay, look. I was originally in for a computer science degree. Computer science is super hard. Yeah. And I realized, I don't think I see myself being a computer scientist for 40, 30 years. I just don't. However, my friend recently presented another solution for me. And he said he was in the same situation. Did computer science, realized that it was too hard. And then he switched over to geography. And now he's working in the technology sector of, you know, geographic information. Yeah. That sounds nice. I mean, I don't really know what geographic information is, but it sounds sophisticated. It's not really sophisticated. Actually, funny enough, for someone who doesn't know that Spain is a country in Europe. Geography sounds like the worst combination for me. Like, I'm spatially unaware. But I think that it's like a nice change where it's like geography is a blend of technology, which I do enjoy. And it's learning about like nature and hopefully other cultures as well. A lot of it is mapping. You're creating a lot of maps to help like the government sector. I mean, any sector could use more maps. But I don't know. This is all just hypothetical. Though I am looking into it and we shall see. Yeah. So what about you, though? I know the first time I met you and your friend, you guys said that you played in a band. Oh, yeah, we do. And then my first impression of that was like, oh, it's like a cute little band. What do you have to say for yourself? I don't know. What do you mean? I want you to... Well, actually, I was going to be like, explain yourself. You think it's a cute little band, but I feel like that's very degrading. And rather, why did you choose to form a band? It's just an interest in music. You know, I've always loved music. Probably more than like anything, really. Like, I mean, when I was really small, you know, I loved like singing. Like I would drive people crazy. Just like singing all the time. They'd be like, would you shut up? I don't see that. But, well, that's because I became a lot more shy. Why is that? When I got older. Well, a lot of it had to do with being homeschooled for like so long. Yeah. I wasn't really allowed to go that many places. And like my only friend is my brother pretty much. I've heard. So like, I had a hard time like talking to people. And like expressing myself like outwardly. But, you know, I got a little better since like... Like when I first started like high school, it was really hard for me. But, you know, I've gotten better since then. But tell me about your band. Well, the band, well, like it's just... I love the music, you know. I first started like having an interest in music like from a young age. Like my dad kind of, he like pushed me towards that, you know. Because my dad has very great taste in music, at least in my opinion. You know, so I was always exposed to like the music that he was making. Like he was in a band before I was born. So I listened to like his old demo tapes and stuff that they recorded. And just like other music that he was interested in, you know. Like I grew up listening to like Joy Division, The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode. You know, stuff like that. And then, you know, whatever else my dad was into. And like, I don't know, I just always followed music. And then I learned to play guitar like I was probably like 13, 12 maybe. Somewhere in that range. And then I've just been playing guitar since then. You know, like back when I was in high school, I used to have a lot of time, you know. So I could play the guitar for like hours at a time. Like I can't play like that much anymore just because I don't have enough time. But like, you know, it just stemmed from that. I started like playing in bands. I was in 9th grade. And I was asked to join a band. It was like some cheesy like pop-punk band. But no, it was fun. And then what happened to it though? Oh, well like I was asked by the guy who played. He's one of the guitar players in the band. He asked me to join. And then we were friends for a little while. I don't know. We kind of like, our friendship like fizzled out, you know. And like he wanted to take the music in a different direction. What direction? Well, like he wanted to go more like, I don't know if you're familiar with what pop-punk is. It's like, have you ever heard of the term? Maybe. But you can describe it so everyone knows. It's like pop-rock, but it takes like elements of like punk. It's like a band like Green Day would be considered pop-punk. I think I've heard of Green Day, but I'm not sure. Or like Blink-182. I think I've heard of them too. I don't know. Like he wanted to take it more like pop. And I wanted to take it more punk, you know. I guess. And then he wanted to sound like certain bands that I didn't really like. Like who? Like there's this band called Neck Deep. Or like a band called The Story So Far. Like stuff like that. Yeah. Like it's like, in my opinion, it's very like, it's just too corny for me. I didn't like it. And he wanted to kind of take it towards that direction. And I didn't really want to. So like, I don't know. We would argue all the time over like creative decisions and stuff. So you were surprisingly stubborn. I guess. Like, yeah, over that. And then like after that, the band kind of broke up. Like we just didn't play shows for a while. And then we stopped like hanging out. And then I joined another band like in high school with a friend of mine. I was actually introduced to him by the other guy that initially like asked me to join that first band. And this guy that like, I would hang out with him. We became friends because he would like talk shit about me all the time. What? Yeah, he'd just make fun of me. But I just laughed at him. What did he say? I don't know. He'd like make fun of me like for liking the music that I like. Or like, or just like the way I dress or whatever. What did you dress like to be picked on? I don't know. I wore like finals basketball shorts. You know. I used to wear like skinny jeans too. Like only for like one year. Only for one year? How skinny were your skinny jeans? No, they were pretty fucking tight. Why would you do that to yourself? It like fucking hurt my balls to wear those. But why did you wear it? I don't know. Was it a fashion statement? No, I guess like, I don't know. I thought at the time like I was interested in like rock music and like the fashion of rock music at the time kind of leaned towards like skinny jeans. Oh, I see. Like when I was, it was only that one year, like ninth grade. Like I was wearing skinny jeans but then like after that I was like, you know what, fuck it, I'm not wearing skinny jeans anymore. Like it just looks gay, you know. And it just doesn't feel good, you know. So, yeah, I stopped. But no, he would make fun of me for the way I dressed or like bands I liked. But then like, you know, I thought it was funny. Like I never really mind if people make fun of me because like, you know, I make fun of people too so I can vibe with that. I see. But yeah, like, I don't know, one time we were like jamming. Like I was playing guitar like in the hallway or something and then I played like, like he, we like, we started like hanging out more and then I realized that I like a lot of music that he liked as well. And so, I don't know, like we just became better friends and then we started a band. And we played for like most of high school and then it broke up during like the COVID thing. Like we just, we stopped playing shows because there really weren't shows at that time for us to play. After that band broke up, how did you end up in your current band now? Oh, like in like that band, like we had a second guitar player but he like left the band so I asked my friend to join. So he did. You're going to out like this? We're going to bleep out his name. Oh, we're going to bleep out his name, yeah. I'm not going to be giving out people's names. That's not what we're about. We want to give every, respect people's privacy. So I asked my friend to join the band and then he played with us for a little bit and then he was starting a band with his friend. So he asked me to join, which is like right at the end, like right before the whole COVID scam started. So like, yeah, like I would like jam with them and like just like hang out and then I became friends with the other guy in his band. So it all just kind of clicked and we started working on music and we couldn't play shows for a while because of the COVID thing but eventually shows like started happening again and then we just kept playing, you know, and then now I'm still playing with that band. That's cool. Do you have goals for your band? We just want to keep like making like music, playing shows. We're working on releasing an album. We're recording right now like a full length album. We released, we had like a two song like release and then we released the EP that had like five songs on it and then now we're doing like a full length album. How many songs are in a full length album? It's usually anywhere between like eight to twelve songs. That's cool. That's a lot of work. Yeah, it's taking a long time but like it's coming together. We're almost finished recording like everything and then we're going to have to mix it which takes a long time too. I see. So mixing it is just making it better? Yeah, we have to adjust all the volumes and then get everything to sound good together because there's a lot that goes into it, you know. You have to like the volume for one but then you have to EQ everything which is EQ is short for like equalizing like you like adjust the frequencies of everything because every sound or every track you record has like a frequency range and like for certain instruments you want to like kind of cut some of the frequencies and then boost like other frequencies and you just got to figure out how to make everything sound good together as well as like mastering like you want to make sure the audio is not clipping. That's cool. There's a lot that you can learn in the world of music recording and editing. Yeah, definitely. But I actually do want to set goals for the podcast because it might not be anything crazy like 100 episodes right now but I think each time we do it I just want to make it better day by day. Day by day. Do you think it's possible? Are you in? It's definitely possible to get better. Okay. Is it possible to get worse? No, I mean I don't think it's possible to get worse. Why not? I mean we could have like a worse episode maybe but like to get worse in general I don't think so unless like one of us hits our head or something or has like speech issues. Oh, man. Alright, should we wrap it up? Yeah. Well, this is the Hard Kombucha Podcast and thank you for listening. God bless all of you. Dude, you're an atheist. I'm just kidding. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, Happy Hanukkah. Happy Mardi Gras. Happy Mardi Gras. Happy Birthday to me. Happy Birthday to you. Yup. Bye-bye. Alright, peace out. Ciao.
