The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

all I remember is being really excited about it.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

And, um, yeah, unless I'm completely wrong and all came up with it, I think it was Cody started playing that.

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

And I, I can't remember why he started playing it.

I don't know where that drum part came from.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

Just a moment of inspiration, I suppose.

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

And it was just like, um, cause the song itself is pretty straightforward.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

It's almost like a kind of Motown love song or something.

But, um,

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

With that weird military drum loop idea, it becomes super weird, you know?

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

It's normal.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

It took longer because...

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

I think the first album we did really quickly and we recorded it all live together as a band.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

And the second album was, we just took longer and did it in a different way.

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

I like laid down things more slowly and

it took a long time to mix and stuff and our dad helped us a lot our dad was uh helping us i guess make it more professional because it's like the the idea behind it i think was that we'd done all of these weird records and we wanted to try and do like a like a proper record if that makes sense like a like let's try like like a real like those albums like those bands that are trying to

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

make things for people that they enjoy or something which was like weirdly at the time like we just didn't think about that that much like we didn't really didn't care what anyone thought of us so it was like the first time that we actually started to think about the enjoyment of the audience or whatever and

And, yeah, so it took a lot longer than the other record did because the other record we sort of threw together very spontaneously, which I think I'm also really proud of that record.

The Hauraki Breakfast Podcast
🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

Yeah, so it was a lot of we would record something and then my dad would talk about, you know,

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

making a mix was like that sounded professional was like polishing it to make it more presentable and it's just like I guess it was something I just hadn't thought about that much because we were doing punk music and but then all of a sudden it was like oh we've already kind of done a lot of this DIY punk style recording and it's like maybe we should try and work on this for a long time and see what happens and I think that's all that's how I remember it going and

🎙Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! The Podcast

I don't think we had any particular goals, but we were trying to put our best effort in and try and make a really good album.
