Okay, everybody gets an instrument. I think this would be something unique. What do we strike you as? You look like you could rock a saxophone. That's hurtful. It could be a really cool curve ball to see you with a saxophone.

I would love to see, just because I think this would be so out of pocket for the crew, is if Sean was like the electric guitar player and he carried like a big, just gaudy Gretsch, just one of the huge oversized guitars.

No, you gotta have a drummer. You know what I mean?

All right. But pretend y'all get the deal. Pretend y'all get the deal, right? And I say, it's a 70-30 deal, 70% in the favor of the label, 30% for y'all, and I'll give you a million dollars to record the first Smartless album, right? They're like, okay, we get 10% apiece. You know, they're putting up all the money. You sign the deal.

But the problem is I recoup at the rate of the deal, which means every time SmartList makes a dollar, I take 70 cents of that dollar and I go, this is mine, that was our deal. You're like, yep. And then I go, now this would be your 30 cents, but I'm gonna put this 30 cents towards the million dollars you owe me.

That is a 70% interest rate, gentlemen. I don't care how you slice or butter that bread. Now, you've found legal loopholes to make it not that, but ultimately, that's absurd. You know what I mean?

Yeah, well, that's what happened. The cool thing was nobody wanted to sign me. So like when nobody wants to work with you, but you're like, I had to figure it out myself.

No, as soon as you see it, and then you're aware because I've done enough distribution deals. And early in my career, I had to take a little money. So you'd go get $100,000, and then you'd see it took you six months to pay the $100,000 back. And you're like, by the time I paid the $100,000 back, they made a half a million dollars.
