And they came to my garage and listened to us play.

But that's why I say, I mean, it really, Davis really gave life to the project because, you know, having that lead front man and singer and he's been in other bands before and it really, you know, collaborative sound came out of it.

So that's when we really kind of.

People are rocking out with the rackets?

I mean, the original group, I guess we've been playing together for like five years and then Davis joined in for the last two years of that.

But I mean, the whole process of actually making an album, I mean, I don't know.

I mean, obviously coming from a different sport and what I'm known for, I mean, I felt like it was much better to make a complete thought, have an entire record together.

you know, a complete album made because I didn't want to have, like, a four-song demo and be like, this is what I'm thinking about doing and then get all the scrutiny and all that without even being able to put out an album.

And so we just kind of went, here it is, here's a complete thought, and, you know, like it or not.

Well, I mean, I don't know.

My track record, I guess you could say.

Oh, sorry.

um you know i don't i don't really tend to half-ass things i mean i'm like that's what i'm saying best at this and that's what guitar was for me in the beginning i mean i literally was like why can't i be the best at this and that's like i went down that path and then i i remember seeing like song remains the same the led zeppelin sure i don't know i don't think you'd call it a documentary it's concert rockumentary yeah exactly there you go there you go and i was like well that's not going to happen you know

I remember, but it was humbling in that same sense because the first song I learned was Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes.

And I was just thinking, shit, this is the most simple, it's on one string, and it's such a popular song, and it dawned on me that music isn't really about...

winning it's all opinions and it's all kind of just creating and and that's when I it was a humbling experience because I finally came to terms with like okay I'm not going to be the best at this but that's okay you know when you're a kid I mean that's I was 16 or something I was like I'm gonna win at everything and and I was in the sporting world and so I was like why not in guitar because it that's how it seemed in my mind but um as I went down that road it's really nice that um you know a band is collaborative

Yeah, I mean I'm taking a little breather right now.

Everybody kind of hyped up that I was retiring for some reason.

I don't know where that came from.

It was more like NBC is going to break this sort of story or that was something they were running with because I'm 27 and there was like a 14-year-old or 15-year-old that was at the last Olympics.
