He's got metal in his face and all that stuff.
I know those dudes. They are a very big band. They did a cover of The Sound of Silence. And Draymond has a beautiful voice. He's a great singer. They're at the point where my mom, who's met lots of my scary friends, and is always like, they're so nice. Southern woman. But she's like, Randy, do you know this band Disturbed? I'm like, yes, mom, I do.
And she's like, I just love their cover of Sound of Silence. And I'm like, I'll tell David Singer.
But those guys, he's patient with you. Those guys come from a DIY background. They're from Chicago. And they used to have these parties where they would throw these parties in warehouses to promote their music.
Yeah, exactly. It's not like the record label gods were swooping down upon them and making them huge. They were promoting themselves for a long time. And that's the world we come from, too.
Oh, that's the whole hip-hop scene.
We call it LSD, lead singer's disease. For me, I think no offense to the city of Los Angeles, but I don't live in Los Angeles. I don't live in New York City. I don't live in an epicenter of the music industry in Richmond, where I'm from. A lot of people, except for the younger people, they're like, oh, that's Randy. He used to be a line cook at Third Street Diner. That dude made me pancakes.
No, they were great. I'm very egotistical about my pancakes. We as a band are pretty cognizant of the dangers of that and act very purposely to not be jerks and to stay right-sized. It's got to be tough, though, because. Dude, when you start believing. Yeah. People are like, you're awesome. You're God. I've had tons of people and I know it's an expression. They say, you're a God.
And I'm like, you need a better deity. I suck. I'm fallible. Even just saying that is reinforcing that in the back of my head. And once you start believing your own hype that you're this awesome thing, I find that's when your talent tends to abandon you.
It's a matter of purity of expression. And I sing about things that matter to me and things generally that upset me a lot of the times because I make a decent living. I'm not a multi-bazillionaire. I don't have a Rolls Royce and all that other crap.
No, dude.
I drive a 2006 used Toyota 4Runner that I've had since I bought it used in like 2018.
Because why? Not a car guy. It's got 258,000 miles on it, I think. I surf, boards fit on top, and I'm going to have to buy a new car soon because it's getting more.
Yeah, mine is real, dude. The heat didn't work some this winter, but it's not important to me. Mine is dented. It's got scrapes. I don't care.
I have a rental car out here and they gave me this Audi like with this spaceship screen and I'm just parking in the garage, the below ground chair and all that's beeping and all this other stuff and I'm like, ah, don't scratch this thing.
You're a prisoner to your possessions after a while.
I know what it is. I've lost two.
Shout out to my buddy, Patty, the surfer. He got me on it.
Sure. I am going to buy a new car because this car is starting to repeatedly need to go to the garage. And I just want something reliable. So I'm going to buy a brand new car for the first time ever.
A Toyota RAV4 hybrid. There you go. It carries surfboards. But I'm going to be a nervous little ninny about it.
