We are live. Okay. I'm excited. I'm not gonna

00:00:08.929 --> 00:00:12.390
like fake it. Obviously I'm excited. So today

00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:15.029
at Adrienne Barker Speaks Live, no prep needed,

00:00:15.070 --> 00:00:17.969
though I did a little prep because I am introducing

00:00:17.969 --> 00:00:22.370
you all to Summer Woods. If you're following

00:00:22.370 --> 00:00:24.829
me, you've seen her YouTube videos. I follow

00:00:24.829 --> 00:00:27.289
her on every social media channel except for

00:00:27.289 --> 00:00:29.910
Snapchat. Are you on Snapchat, Summer? I am,

00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.649
but I haven't posted in about six centuries.

00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:37.039
Oh good, that's how old I am. Six centuries,

00:00:37.179 --> 00:00:40.539
I love it. That's fantastic. Okay, and then I

00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:42.439
want, how did I meet Summer? Actually, how do

00:00:42.439 --> 00:00:45.659
I meet so many amazing people? That's because

00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:50.259
I have a lovely relationship and friendship with

00:00:50.259 --> 00:00:54.700
Shamim. Shamim, Shamim, you're like Cher or Lady

00:00:54.700 --> 00:00:57.359
Gaga. You don't need a last name. So Shamim.

00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:00.399
Shamim is the autographed king. There's a movie

00:01:00.399 --> 00:01:03.399
coming out and stay tuned at the end of this

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:06.159
episode where Shamim's going to share with you

00:01:06.159 --> 00:01:09.939
exactly like a preview of the autographed king,

00:01:10.180 --> 00:01:12.760
which is the name of the movie too. But Shamim

00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.340
and Summer have been friends and Shamim said,

00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.400
hey, would you want to meet Summer and do an

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:20.739
interview? And honestly, Shamim has sent me a

00:01:20.739 --> 00:01:23.400
few people and I don't get that excited. I don't

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.780
even know who Darth Vader was when we interviewed

00:01:25.780 --> 00:01:29.260
the Nelson Andrew. I had no idea. But Summer,

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:33.040
I love her music. So Summer, I want you to tell

00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:36.540
everyone about yourself. And so I'll start the

00:01:36.540 --> 00:01:40.180
first question. Summer, what made you even know

00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:42.840
that you enjoy music? Like, what was that? Like,

00:01:42.920 --> 00:01:45.060
for a second, did you pick up an equipment or

00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.819
an instrument? Like, how did you know that you

00:01:47.819 --> 00:01:51.319
had musical talent? That's a really good question.

00:01:52.790 --> 00:01:56.510
It's hard to say where like the first spark begins,

00:01:56.609 --> 00:01:59.510
but um, I was in in high school I was really

00:01:59.510 --> 00:02:01.269
into this musician back. You probably know him

00:02:01.269 --> 00:02:07.069
from loser fame That you know, I'm a loser, baby

00:02:07.069 --> 00:02:10.789
So I don't know so into him. He was like my first

00:02:10.789 --> 00:02:13.430
really big celebrity crush I was like crazy over

00:02:13.430 --> 00:02:16.629
him and I wanted to write songs like him and

00:02:16.629 --> 00:02:19.409
like I learned to play his stuff and then I started

00:02:19.409 --> 00:02:23.599
writing songs like about him and in his style,

00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:25.340
but it ended up sounding nothing like him. It

00:02:25.340 --> 00:02:27.439
ended up sounding like me. So, really, he was

00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:30.159
kind of one of my biggest inspirations just starting

00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:32.319
out, and I was like, oh, I think I can actually

00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:36.599
do this. Wow, okay, cool. Is he still alive?

00:02:37.259 --> 00:02:40.259
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's... I think he recently

00:02:40.259 --> 00:02:43.199
won a Grammy, yeah. So, how do we share this

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.840
with him? How do we get... Does he know? He doesn't

00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:50.020
know. He's a little, like, under the radar. Like,

00:02:50.060 --> 00:02:51.939
Weird Al was different. Weird Al was so, like...

00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:54.960
He's my most recent, like, musician obsession.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.199
He's super, like, open with his fans. He will

00:02:57.199 --> 00:02:59.539
tweet at them and retweet people, but, Beck,

00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:01.099
I've never seen him do anything like that, so

00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:03.280
I've never met him, but I was like, he's just

00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.060
a big inspiration to me. All right, Shamim, you

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:08.520
gotta get on that. So, and actually, I've noticed,

00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.180
Summer, you are very interactive with your fans

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:15.300
on each platform. Is that why? I try, yeah. Yeah,

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.800
Al is a big inspiration in that way, because

00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.099
I was wondering, like, you know, I'm not... the

00:03:21.099 --> 00:03:23.520
most extroverted person ever, and neither is

00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.840
he. I know he's a little bit introverted, but

00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:28.860
he makes such an effort to care about the people

00:03:28.860 --> 00:03:30.639
who care about him, and I'm always thinking,

00:03:30.780 --> 00:03:33.300
how would Al handle this situation? He would

00:03:33.300 --> 00:03:35.759
probably be very warm, open, inviting, nice.

00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:37.979
So I try to be that way with as many people as

00:03:37.979 --> 00:03:41.139
I can, even though I'm a little nervous. Are

00:03:41.139 --> 00:03:44.400
you saying, what would Al Yankovits do? What

00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.060
would Al Yankovits do? We need to start making

00:03:46.060 --> 00:03:50.689
bracelets. What would Al do? That is hilarious.

00:03:51.349 --> 00:03:53.629
Oh, let me just do a little. Can you keep it

00:03:53.629 --> 00:03:58.009
quiet down there? Okay, so I have a few. Oh,

00:03:58.050 --> 00:04:00.930
Shemeem, go ahead. Oh, so Beck actually passed

00:04:00.930 --> 00:04:08.469
away January 10th of 2023, actually. I saw him

00:04:08.469 --> 00:04:12.169
though. I saw him in concert just recently. Yeah,

00:04:12.169 --> 00:04:16.149
he passed away. If it's the same Beck. Probably

00:04:16.149 --> 00:04:20.810
not. They were in Beck. back with loser and yeah

00:04:20.810 --> 00:04:28.490
he passed away um due to um he passed away at

00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:35.269
the age uh um let's see he passed away at um

00:04:35.269 --> 00:04:40.449
it's a different back it says back from the band

00:04:40.449 --> 00:04:44.730
back uh he's still going i just i literally just

00:04:44.730 --> 00:04:49.420
saw him Maybe Shemeem, maybe it was a fake article,

00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:52.019
or maybe we'll be able to now really reach him.

00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:55.819
Let's hold hands and we'll have a seance. Oh,

00:04:55.920 --> 00:05:01.240
which spec is it? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Let's see.

00:05:01.420 --> 00:05:03.079
I will figure that out, Shemeem, afterwards.

00:05:03.939 --> 00:05:06.040
Let's continue, because I really want to continue

00:05:06.040 --> 00:05:08.360
with some questions. OK, go ahead. So Summer,

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.740
first of all, I love the name Summer Woods. Is

00:05:10.740 --> 00:05:13.800
that your real name, or is that your star name?

00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:22.779
And tell me, who named you? I think my mom suggested

00:05:22.779 --> 00:05:25.699
it to my dad and my dad said yes. I might be

00:05:25.699 --> 00:05:29.319
wrong, but they named me Summer Patterson Woods

00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:31.360
because my parents were in New York when they

00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.720
found out they would be having a kid. And they

00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:35.980
were in Patterson, which is a really small city

00:05:35.980 --> 00:05:37.540
in New York. And they were like, well, that's

00:05:37.540 --> 00:05:40.220
a pretty nameless name or that. But the summer

00:05:40.220 --> 00:05:42.790
part I think was just because I was plan to be

00:05:42.790 --> 00:05:45.990
born in summer, my birthday is August 8th. So

00:05:45.990 --> 00:05:51.610
yeah. I love it. All right. So now you are so

00:05:51.610 --> 00:05:54.449
interesting to me. So, um, you could tell me

00:05:54.449 --> 00:05:58.329
your age or not. Tell me your age and 26 and

00:05:58.329 --> 00:06:01.529
a half. Okay. I love it. Your brain is fully

00:06:01.529 --> 00:06:04.230
developed, which is amazing. They don't see that

00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:07.889
25. So you So when did you first start? When

00:06:07.889 --> 00:06:11.410
did you actually like, so I get that you're like

00:06:11.410 --> 00:06:14.230
with Beck and he was inspirational to you. We're

00:06:14.230 --> 00:06:16.470
going to tag him. Hopefully he's alive to get

00:06:16.470 --> 00:06:18.509
the tag. If not, someone else will see the tag.

00:06:18.629 --> 00:06:21.329
I think it's amazing that celebrities, you know,

00:06:21.329 --> 00:06:23.110
they don't realize how many people they impact,

00:06:23.110 --> 00:06:25.689
but you're doing the same thing too. So you're

00:06:25.689 --> 00:06:28.089
impacting other people and especially those that

00:06:28.089 --> 00:06:30.310
are coming up and you know, just your music is

00:06:30.310 --> 00:06:33.750
fun. So what is the, so I want to get an idea.

00:06:34.089 --> 00:06:37.750
When you started, to actually realize I've got

00:06:37.750 --> 00:06:40.629
something here. I really can go out and promote

00:06:40.629 --> 00:06:43.529
myself. And then how did you decide how you were

00:06:43.529 --> 00:06:49.730
going to promote yourself? I don't know. I think

00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:52.589
it was just just YouTube in general. I was just

00:06:52.589 --> 00:06:56.470
like, well, YouTube is the best. You know, it's

00:06:56.470 --> 00:06:59.230
almost like, you know, TV for the common man.

00:06:59.250 --> 00:07:01.370
Like if you want to make your own show, you got

00:07:01.370 --> 00:07:06.060
YouTube. There you go. So so. I just started

00:07:06.060 --> 00:07:07.779
putting things on YouTube, and then I got really

00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:11.060
into this band called Ween, which was my second,

00:07:11.939 --> 00:07:13.459
like, well, I've had many musical obsessions,

00:07:13.519 --> 00:07:16.339
but one of my biggest musical obsessions is called

00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:19.360
Ween, and once I started posting covers of their

00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:21.459
music, their fan base found me, and that was

00:07:21.459 --> 00:07:24.120
what really started, like, blowing my channel

00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:27.160
up and stuff, because, you know, certain fan

00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:30.839
bases are really, like, die hard for their bands,

00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:33.920
so that's basically how I targeted that audience.

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.420
Oh, that's a great tip, but now so but they don't

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.319
mind that you're doing cover like I really it's

00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:43.019
so interesting to cover Do do the big artists

00:07:43.019 --> 00:07:46.259
love having their covers done or do they not

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:50.160
like it? Like, how do you know? Um, I think most

00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:53.639
are fine with it. The only the only like time

00:07:53.639 --> 00:07:55.480
you would know is if they really came for you

00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:57.660
and they gave you like a copyright strike and

00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:00.860
told you to take it down but I mean, that's so

00:08:00.860 --> 00:08:02.959
rare. Like, like, technically, when I posted

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:07.759
my Weird Al covers, it's technically like, unmonetizable,

00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.379
like YouTube can detect the copyright in it.

00:08:10.620 --> 00:08:13.339
But, but Weird Al is cool with it himself. So

00:08:13.339 --> 00:08:15.980
it doesn't really matter, you know. Oh, that

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.680
is. And what are you doing with Weird Al? Like,

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.220
are you are you doing a parody on his parody?

00:08:20.519 --> 00:08:24.139
Or you're just singing his parody? I did a compilation

00:08:24.139 --> 00:08:31.519
of his original music. So I, yeah. The link will

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.600
be in the show notes for this because I know

00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:35.679
I want to hear it. I missed this. Oh, thank you.

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.779
Yeah. Yeah. So he actually does write original

00:08:39.779 --> 00:08:41.899
melodies and stuff. So I just took all those

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:45.320
original melodies and made like huge comp - compilations

00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.879
of all the original songs he's written over the

00:08:47.879 --> 00:08:52.139
years. That's - were you ever at his show? Oh

00:08:52.139 --> 00:08:56.320
yeah. Eight times in 2022. I'm like a dead man.

00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:59.100
Did you say the front with the little, like,

00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:00.519
what do you, what do they, what does it give

00:09:00.519 --> 00:09:04.159
you for the watermelon? For the watermelon? Is

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.899
he still doing that where he like watermelon

00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:09.019
and all goes all everywhere and people in the

00:09:09.019 --> 00:09:11.980
front wear like something to protect themselves?

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.059
I think that's his friend Gallagher. But Gallagher,

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:22.409
uh, uh -huh. He did do that in the Weird Al movie

00:09:22.409 --> 00:09:24.049
though, which we needed umbrellas for because

00:09:24.049 --> 00:09:26.870
it was like a 4D movie experience, so you know.

00:09:27.529 --> 00:09:29.730
Oh, that's so nice. You have a nice relationship

00:09:29.730 --> 00:09:34.009
with Weird Al. If you don't know Weird Al, everyone,

00:09:34.169 --> 00:09:35.769
then I don't know where you're living, so come

00:09:35.769 --> 00:09:37.889
back to the United States and we'll introduce

00:09:37.889 --> 00:09:42.250
you to Weird Al Yankovic. Yeah, like what the

00:09:42.250 --> 00:09:44.529
heck? And that shirt? Tell us about the shirt,

00:09:44.710 --> 00:09:49.909
Shamim. Well, it's not... So basically this show

00:09:49.909 --> 00:09:55.610
was from our Poodle Hat album. That's where me

00:09:55.610 --> 00:10:03.929
and some actually met was on the 19th anniversary

00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:07.049
of Poodle Hat. Was that when we met? Yeah. So

00:10:07.049 --> 00:10:12.629
the Poodle Hat came out May 20th, 2003. That

00:10:12.629 --> 00:10:19.700
album is a part of That album is the main reason

00:10:19.700 --> 00:10:24.179
why, that's one of the Grammy award winning albums.

00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:30.059
Oh wow, okay. Come back and show us, that sounds

00:10:30.059 --> 00:10:38.580
cool. Yeah, so speaking of which, this, this,

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:44.840
and then get the CD. So basically this album,

00:10:45.149 --> 00:10:53.769
is like Al's Grammy album that he did. Go ahead,

00:10:53.789 --> 00:10:56.230
go ahead, go ahead. Hey, Sheme, it's okay. Will

00:10:56.230 --> 00:10:59.509
this be in the movie, The Autograph King? Yes.

00:10:59.830 --> 00:11:02.970
Actually, Bermuda Swartz, Al's drama. There we

00:11:02.970 --> 00:11:09.289
go. Got it. And I got the other thing. There

00:11:09.289 --> 00:11:18.830
we go. Okay, here is Al's... Actual album. Actual

00:11:18.830 --> 00:11:25.389
album. Right here. That's an actual album. Where

00:11:25.389 --> 00:11:29.970
this shirt actually... And then here is... Oh,

00:11:30.009 --> 00:11:33.289
he's wearing the shirt in the album? Look at

00:11:33.289 --> 00:11:41.990
this. That's Summer. This is Summer's album.

00:11:42.289 --> 00:11:47.870
Called Chihuahua Hat. And this is Ow's album.

00:11:47.889 --> 00:11:49.769
Nice. Oh, I want to talk about Chihuahua Hat,

00:11:49.970 --> 00:11:53.169
because I think that Summer may have... Is that

00:11:53.169 --> 00:11:55.669
named after your Chihuahua, Summer? Yes, yeah.

00:11:55.669 --> 00:11:58.450
And she's right here. Oh, bring her up. Bring

00:11:58.450 --> 00:12:02.610
her up. We'll talk to her. What's her name? She

00:12:02.610 --> 00:12:05.230
actually has a vocal part on the album, believe

00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:08.029
it or not. Her bark is sampled in the album.

00:12:08.970 --> 00:12:11.129
Oh, my God. I love that. I love that. All right,

00:12:11.129 --> 00:12:14.639
so now I have another question. Tool. I'm not

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:16.360
really familiar with Tool, but I'm not that cool

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:22.879
either. Well, they're a progressive metal band

00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:27.639
that I recently got very into and all because

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:31.220
of my uncle. My uncle is a very big fan of their

00:12:31.220 --> 00:12:33.580
work and has been for a long time and he keeps

00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:35.039
telling me, you got to hear this song, you got

00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.019
to hear this song. And it was just so overwhelming.

00:12:37.240 --> 00:12:38.639
I'm like, I don't know, that's a lot of music.

00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:40.580
And then finally I sat down and really listened

00:12:40.580 --> 00:12:43.929
to them and I was like, okay. now I understand

00:12:43.929 --> 00:12:48.029
the obsession, now I understand everything because

00:12:48.029 --> 00:12:50.610
he's um Maynard is one of the best lyricists

00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:53.149
ever and the band is just one of the best bands

00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:54.950
ever and then when you put it together and they

00:12:54.950 --> 00:12:57.169
have incredible music with incredible lyrics

00:12:57.169 --> 00:13:00.850
and incredible singing and Tool now is just one

00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:03.789
of my favorite bands and I realized that when

00:13:03.789 --> 00:13:06.929
I covered them for seemingly like no reason at

00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:11.509
all every Tool cover that I do gets like two

00:13:11.509 --> 00:13:14.879
thousand percent more views than any other band

00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:17.080
that I covered. So I don't know why, but I was

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.320
like, okay, let's do two covers from here on

00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:22.940
out. Here we go. Sorry, you have your voice is

00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:26.259
so interesting. Your talking voice, right? It's

00:13:26.259 --> 00:13:29.539
fairly deep. It's got like a, I love it. It's

00:13:29.539 --> 00:13:34.139
got a really cool sound to it. So, and are you,

00:13:34.240 --> 00:13:36.600
are you considered a, excuse me, because I spent

00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:39.799
on many years with music, but a baritone? What

00:13:39.799 --> 00:13:45.590
is your? I sang alto in the school choir. So

00:13:45.590 --> 00:13:47.929
what is alto? I don't remember. I believe it's

00:13:47.929 --> 00:13:51.929
the lowest female voice you can have. I don't

00:13:51.929 --> 00:13:54.710
really make sense though. Yeah, this makes sense

00:13:54.710 --> 00:13:57.450
because you don't try to like, like what I love

00:13:57.450 --> 00:13:59.610
about your music is that you don't try to sound

00:13:59.610 --> 00:14:03.480
like someone else. You just try. to sound like

00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.820
Summer Woods. And I think that's really important.

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:08.460
So Summer, what are your dreams? What are your

00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:11.159
next steps? Where do you feel you are right now

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:15.639
in your musical business and career? And where

00:14:15.639 --> 00:14:21.299
do you see yourself in five years? Well, right

00:14:21.299 --> 00:14:26.720
now, we have an album which is completed. And

00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:29.440
my dream is to just keep writing songs, release

00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.529
albums, and have people vibe with what I'm saying,

00:14:32.809 --> 00:14:38.169
that's literally my only dream. And so we have

00:14:38.169 --> 00:14:41.309
an album right now which is recorded, done, ready,

00:14:41.649 --> 00:14:44.230
and it's just taking a while for us to chop it

00:14:44.230 --> 00:14:47.549
out and go over our options with it. But in five

00:14:47.549 --> 00:14:50.570
years I want to have, of course, released my

00:14:50.570 --> 00:14:53.309
first album and hopefully a few other albums

00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:56.389
and at that point have people just really vibing

00:14:56.389 --> 00:14:59.879
with the songs that I'm writing and you know,

00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.860
kind of play it by ear at that point, no pun

00:15:02.860 --> 00:15:05.940
intended. I love that. I love that. The other

00:15:05.940 --> 00:15:07.779
thing I noticed with you is that you, I love

00:15:07.779 --> 00:15:11.419
your lineup. So I see that you are, you're in

00:15:11.419 --> 00:15:17.440
California where the stars are and what are you,

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:20.980
do you have an agent or are you contacting and

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:23.940
making the connections for you to play at different

00:15:23.940 --> 00:15:29.009
locations? Are you doing it yourself? Guess it's

00:15:29.009 --> 00:15:32.149
kind of 50 -50 between me and my manager because

00:15:32.149 --> 00:15:34.970
my manager very conveniently is also my drummer

00:15:34.970 --> 00:15:39.830
so we and we met at the school where I got my

00:15:39.830 --> 00:15:45.529
songwriting degree, so He is The guy really in

00:15:45.529 --> 00:15:47.889
charge of like negotiations and money like because

00:15:47.889 --> 00:15:49.509
sometimes people will come to me and be like

00:15:49.509 --> 00:15:51.769
Hey, do you want to play for this this amazing

00:15:51.769 --> 00:15:54.009
show that I'm doing like in my basement? And

00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:56.889
I'll be like well that sounds fun Sure, but you

00:15:56.889 --> 00:15:58.769
might want to talk to Dave first. So Dave is

00:15:58.769 --> 00:16:00.750
the one who's going to like vet them and be like,

00:16:00.870 --> 00:16:02.470
Hey, how much are you paying? And what is it?

00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:06.009
Like, you know, so it's kind of 50 50 in a way.

00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:07.830
Cause sometimes people will come to me, but I'd

00:16:07.830 --> 00:16:09.330
want to make sure they go through Dave first.

00:16:09.389 --> 00:16:11.190
So I don't sign up to anything that's going to

00:16:11.190 --> 00:16:15.029
like destroy me, you know? So you guys are kind

00:16:15.029 --> 00:16:18.029
of on the same beat. You beat to the same drum.

00:16:18.389 --> 00:16:24.370
Sorry. I had to get that comment, I just couldn't

00:16:24.370 --> 00:16:27.629
help it. All right, so you said something about

00:16:27.629 --> 00:16:29.610
a guitar, which I'm thinking that means that

00:16:29.610 --> 00:16:33.649
you're going to play for us. What song are you

00:16:33.649 --> 00:16:36.570
going to sing so that I can find out the inspiration

00:16:36.570 --> 00:16:40.029
behind it? I was just going to play whatever.

00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:42.970
I mean, Shamim asked me the other day, what songs

00:16:42.970 --> 00:16:44.809
are you going to play? And I'm like, I didn't

00:16:44.809 --> 00:16:46.929
know I was going to play any songs. I love the

00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:50.049
Pasadena. I love that song. Tell us about Pasadena.

00:16:50.549 --> 00:16:55.379
Sure. That song was... I want to say it's about

00:16:55.379 --> 00:16:57.960
2 a .m. I was about to fall asleep and I was

00:16:57.960 --> 00:17:00.519
just thinking about everybody that I had met

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:05.359
in my schooling in Pasadena and I made so many

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:08.759
good friends and it's just like the most accepted

00:17:08.759 --> 00:17:11.180
I had ever felt by a social group and I was like

00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:13.500
this is just a wonderful thing I'm so glad I

00:17:13.500 --> 00:17:15.559
went to school in Pasadena and as I'm falling

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.240
asleep you know about to drift off of course

00:17:18.240 --> 00:17:24.170
I get a great idea and I'm like and I was like

00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:27.390
man I have to get up and like record this and

00:17:27.390 --> 00:17:29.730
and I had to get up out of bed and but I'm so

00:17:29.730 --> 00:17:31.890
glad that I did because now I wrote a song that

00:17:31.890 --> 00:17:35.289
I'm really proud of and I played it for the class

00:17:35.289 --> 00:17:37.589
actually because I wrote it for them so I brought

00:17:37.589 --> 00:17:40.549
it to a vocal class that we were all in and I

00:17:40.549 --> 00:17:45.210
said all right I'm muting us so that I'm gonna

00:17:45.210 --> 00:17:48.109
mute us so that we can hear you play so everyone

00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:52.579
I'm excited to introduce you to Summer Woods,

00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:56.779
playing Pasadena. Raise your, but quietly do

00:17:56.779 --> 00:17:58.940
it, because she's playing, I'm muting you and

00:17:58.940 --> 00:18:04.839
me, Shamim. Okay, let me know if the audio is

00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:14.279
okay. I took a train to Pasadena I never thought

00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:21.589
much of the ride I didn't know a soul in Pasadena

00:18:21.589 --> 00:18:31.329
I got to the station and cried I didn't like

00:18:31.329 --> 00:18:38.089
the classy people But I thought your jacket was

00:18:38.089 --> 00:18:49.569
nice Your mind was like I squinted at you and

00:18:49.569 --> 00:18:56.690
I smiled. I made friends in Pasadena. We're passing

00:18:56.690 --> 00:19:00.849
all bus stops and all the little antique shops,

00:19:00.910 --> 00:19:08.150
yeah. My past behind the dusty glass. And you

00:19:08.150 --> 00:19:12.490
get all my jokes as we're walking down fair roads,

00:19:12.730 --> 00:19:17.529
yeah. And I just can't believe that I met you

00:19:17.529 --> 00:19:34.359
in Pasadena. On the couch at your apartment We

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:42.119
talked about the universe Sing a song about belonging

00:19:52.750 --> 00:19:56.730
Pasadena, we're passing all bus stops in All

00:19:56.730 --> 00:20:00.750
the little antique shops, yeah My past behind

00:20:00.750 --> 00:20:07.230
the dusty glass, oh yeah And you get all my jokes

00:20:07.230 --> 00:20:11.890
as We're walking down Pharaoh's stair And I just

00:20:11.890 --> 00:20:20.750
can't believe that I bet you can Pasadena This

00:20:20.750 --> 00:20:58.079
is where everyone at home sings along. I just

00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:37.569
can't Summer, there's something so special about

00:21:37.569 --> 00:21:42.150
you. I love that you're willing to play and pick

00:21:42.150 --> 00:21:44.190
up the guitar. Even that, just like so many people

00:21:44.190 --> 00:21:48.869
are like, oh, I'm not ready yet. Summer just

00:21:48.869 --> 00:21:51.430
does it. You're fantastic. And there's something

00:21:51.430 --> 00:21:55.569
about the beat, right? Like that music, like

00:21:55.569 --> 00:21:58.130
the words are wonderful. Your voice that I love.

00:21:58.630 --> 00:22:01.349
But that beat is like, it's almost like the more

00:22:01.349 --> 00:22:04.450
you hear it, the more you want to hear it. Interesting.

00:22:04.670 --> 00:22:07.619
Yeah, yeah. There's something to it. You really,

00:22:08.000 --> 00:22:10.160
I find that when I want to listen to you, I keep

00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.559
going back to Pasadena first because, and so

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.619
it's original. When you say original, original

00:22:16.619 --> 00:22:20.119
like all the way through. Words, music, notes.

00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:23.400
Well, I mean, of course there's some inspiration.

00:22:23.660 --> 00:22:25.819
I mean, I took a lot of inspiration from this

00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:27.980
song called The Weight by the band. You know

00:22:27.980 --> 00:22:31.690
that song? Take a load off Fanny. Take a load

00:22:31.690 --> 00:22:33.950
for free. I was really inspired. I was like,

00:22:33.990 --> 00:22:36.789
I want to write something like that. So, inspired

00:22:36.789 --> 00:22:40.210
by that, but not really exactly, you know, exactly

00:22:40.210 --> 00:22:44.049
everything is the same. Intense. Oh my gosh.

00:22:44.809 --> 00:22:47.970
I just want everyone to absorb it because that's

00:22:47.970 --> 00:22:51.529
pretty amazing. So now you write the song and

00:22:51.529 --> 00:22:54.910
then how do you protect it? How do you copyright

00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:59.589
that so nobody else can take it? Well, I know

00:22:59.589 --> 00:23:04.549
someone who could protect it for you. Kind of,

00:23:05.109 --> 00:23:10.549
yeah. Well, is he a copyright? He's an attorney

00:23:10.549 --> 00:23:13.430
in copyright. Oh, cool. Oh, my God, Shemeem,

00:23:13.549 --> 00:23:16.990
introduce someone to protect your stuff. When

00:23:16.990 --> 00:23:21.230
the band sues me, your dad's got me, right? Yeah.

00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.779
I think beforehand that we get you protected.

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:28.279
That's a beautiful song. Seriously, we don't

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:31.920
want them to take your words and the music. Yeah.

00:23:32.299 --> 00:23:34.880
Well, I mean, in a court of law, really, as soon

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:37.640
as you write a song, technically, you already

00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:40.019
have, it's already your copyright. So if someone

00:23:40.019 --> 00:23:42.779
sues you for it, I mean, the judge can pretty

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:44.839
much tell, you know, like, well, I mean, you

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.640
obviously wrote it. There's a YouTube video from

00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.839
this date where she's playing it. But I mean,

00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.380
In case, anyway, everybody should get their songs

00:23:52.380 --> 00:23:56.339
copyrighted on the government website where you

00:23:56.339 --> 00:24:00.240
can copyright intellectual property. So I also

00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.599
have that done, just as a backup. But I mean,

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:05.279
normally it's not really that big of an issue

00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:07.380
because anyone can just see, well, I mean, you

00:24:07.380 --> 00:24:09.160
pretty much obviously wrote that. If you have

00:24:09.160 --> 00:24:12.160
a voice memo of you writing it, it's like, who's

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:15.029
going to dispute that? Oh, I love it. Okay, good,

00:24:15.150 --> 00:24:17.069
good, because we don't want you to have 34 counts

00:24:17.069 --> 00:24:18.849
of, you know, any kind of felonies going on.

00:24:19.309 --> 00:24:24.369
Okay, so now, summer, what is a day like in,

00:24:24.470 --> 00:24:26.309
like, what is your day like? Like, just tell

00:24:26.309 --> 00:24:28.170
us, like, an average day, maybe not today, because

00:24:28.170 --> 00:24:29.849
you're doing the interview, but what's your average

00:24:29.849 --> 00:24:32.930
day like for Summer Woods on a busy day? Like,

00:24:33.049 --> 00:24:35.069
your regular day and then a day where you are

00:24:35.069 --> 00:24:38.630
getting ready to play? Well, it is kind of a

00:24:38.630 --> 00:24:41.250
regular day for me. I mean, I play a lot, so.

00:24:41.450 --> 00:24:44.829
I mean normally I get up I will edit some kind

00:24:44.829 --> 00:24:47.990
of video or music that I'm doing like I do a

00:24:47.990 --> 00:24:50.730
lot of I mean I stay at home a lot I'm mainly

00:24:50.730 --> 00:24:53.049
just like okay here's this YouTube video does

00:24:53.049 --> 00:24:55.569
it sound good and I'm like editing in Pro Tools

00:24:55.569 --> 00:24:58.170
does this sound good does that sound good um

00:24:58.170 --> 00:25:00.950
and then I'll be posting it maybe work on writing

00:25:00.950 --> 00:25:03.250
I have a new year's resolution to write two songs

00:25:03.250 --> 00:25:06.990
every month so I'm that's been going pretty swell

00:25:06.990 --> 00:25:11.619
so that too um and then And then I might perform

00:25:11.619 --> 00:25:15.039
a gig in LA or something and like, you know,

00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.259
bring my guitar, do that stuff. And then when

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:20.579
I have free time, I'm just watching Better Call

00:25:20.579 --> 00:25:24.119
Saul. Okay. So now I never really got into better,

00:25:24.140 --> 00:25:28.000
but I love Breaking Bad. I just, you know, I'm

00:25:28.000 --> 00:25:31.660
thinking about you. Okay. So I have a podcast

00:25:31.660 --> 00:25:34.160
that I love. Not that there's anything connected.

00:25:34.200 --> 00:25:37.640
I just love the host. It's called Seriously C.

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:40.619
and Annie Easley and I love her but what I think

00:25:40.619 --> 00:25:44.720
is really cool with her is that she and I really

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:46.700
could see you doing this if you were looking

00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:50.460
to um actually scale and like monetize because

00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:52.299
what's really cool is someone gets to know you

00:25:52.299 --> 00:25:55.240
they love they love your music so they subscribe

00:25:55.240 --> 00:25:59.400
on YouTube but then you have like special membership

00:25:59.869 --> 00:26:02.930
even if you charge like $5, $10 and then you

00:26:02.930 --> 00:26:06.210
like once a month either talk to your fans and

00:26:06.210 --> 00:26:08.829
do a zoom call with them so they could get on

00:26:08.829 --> 00:26:11.009
and meet you and I don't know I think that would

00:26:11.009 --> 00:26:13.369
be really a cool thing to do and you can monetize

00:26:13.369 --> 00:26:15.529
that not a lot of money but and then you could

00:26:15.529 --> 00:26:19.140
also take like ideas for songs or you know have

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:21.720
some contests you can have some fun but you're

00:26:21.720 --> 00:26:24.519
interacting I love that you interact um with

00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:27.859
each of the platforms but imagine being someone

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:29.579
who's following you and then I get to be in like

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:32.920
the same zoom room with summer and she's sharing

00:26:32.920 --> 00:26:36.160
her inspiration doing a song so just a thought

00:26:36.160 --> 00:26:37.519
on that because I think that would be really

00:26:37.519 --> 00:26:41.099
cool for you as you look are you um do you live

00:26:41.099 --> 00:26:44.339
home with your family do you live on your own

00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:49.420
Yes, I lived at home with my family. I lived

00:26:49.420 --> 00:26:52.799
in Pasadena before the end times, before the

00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:56.319
dark times. And then when basically all my roommates

00:26:56.319 --> 00:26:59.019
had to go home because of the pandemic, I just

00:26:59.019 --> 00:27:01.700
moved back here. And it's just been very convenient.

00:27:01.799 --> 00:27:04.099
I mean, my parents and I are like best friends.

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:09.039
So I don't have to leave. I'm just I always have

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.880
a good time with them and I can easily do my

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:14.079
work here. So I'm like, hey, It was pretty chill.

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:17.819
I think that's smart. And I would want my daughter

00:27:17.819 --> 00:27:20.819
to be home with me. I have a daughter. So come

00:27:20.819 --> 00:27:22.839
home, Alana. I would love my daughter to be home

00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:24.500
with me. I think it's really, she's with her

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:27.680
boyfriend. But I think that it makes sense to

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:30.000
take advantage of that because that's one less

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.740
worry you have allowing you to concentrate on

00:27:32.740 --> 00:27:35.460
your music. So that is really beautiful. And

00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:38.559
you sound a little bit like a homebody. Yeah.

00:27:38.900 --> 00:27:40.720
I mean, I'm trying to be a little less of that

00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.960
because I'm just kind of like... Yeah, I don't

00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.359
know. I want to be more social and be more outgoing

00:27:47.359 --> 00:27:50.980
and do more novel things in my life. But I mean,

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:54.140
I also just enjoy making music so much that I

00:27:54.140 --> 00:27:55.920
almost don't want to leave the house. So, you

00:27:55.920 --> 00:27:59.299
know, it's like a... I love that. What are you

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:06.720
working on next? For music? I mean, obviously,

00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.259
I'm just working on more covers at the moment

00:28:09.259 --> 00:28:11.559
because I can't really do anything with my...

00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:14.259
full album until we come to a decision on how

00:28:14.259 --> 00:28:16.680
are we going to, you know, what label are we

00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:18.460
going to use, how are we going to, you know,

00:28:18.619 --> 00:28:20.359
put it out, are we going to do it ourselves,

00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:21.920
or how are we going to do vinyl, how are we going

00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:23.359
to do this, how are we going to do that. So it's

00:28:23.359 --> 00:28:25.480
mainly just a bunch of questions like that. So

00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:27.460
once we answer all those questions, then I will

00:28:27.460 --> 00:28:31.500
be releasing a full LP. But at the moment, I'm

00:28:31.500 --> 00:28:34.700
just working on covers and my fan base and stuff.

00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.460
So Adriana, I'm summer actually has a new song

00:28:40.460 --> 00:28:42.640
coming last you for a minute summer. Sorry about

00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:54.039
that Wait, we lost you summer. I'm gonna remove

00:28:54.039 --> 00:28:56.500
you and then put you right back. Okay, there

00:28:56.500 --> 00:28:58.140
we go. Let's see summer comes. Okay, there we

00:28:58.140 --> 00:29:00.960
go I just wanted to remove you summer. I would

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.559
hold on to me. We're gonna come to you in a second.

00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:17.400
Okay, but um summer Wait, let's wait. Let's see.

00:29:20.920 --> 00:29:27.579
One sec. Is someone back? Can y 'all see me now?

00:29:28.119 --> 00:29:30.960
Okay. So Summer, I have a question for you. Yes.

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:35.960
So, oh, I hope it's not me. Okay, so my question

00:29:35.960 --> 00:29:40.339
is this. I don't know if it's me or not. Summer,

00:29:40.500 --> 00:29:45.359
my question is, do you think musical talent is

00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.759
something that's hereditary? Is anyone in your

00:29:48.759 --> 00:29:53.339
family also sing and play the guitar? I believe

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:58.000
it's hereditary, not only from experience. I

00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:00.160
mean, because my grandpa plays guitar, my dad

00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:04.339
plays piano, my grandma, before she passed, was

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:07.339
a classical pianist. So just a lot of you know

00:30:07.339 --> 00:30:09.380
even my great grandpa was a musician he could

00:30:09.380 --> 00:30:11.880
play a bunch of uh instruments and stuff i believe

00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:13.920
it from anecdotal evidence and i also believe

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:17.539
it from a book this book that i read called musicophilia

00:30:17.539 --> 00:30:19.599
which is an insane read if you want to read it

00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.980
um but it's about like the neuroscience of music

00:30:21.980 --> 00:30:25.660
and it talks about how certain people their brains

00:30:25.660 --> 00:30:27.700
are just wired and if they have some kind of

00:30:27.700 --> 00:30:30.380
brain injury it affects their ability to play

00:30:30.380 --> 00:30:32.680
music either it gets better or worse which is

00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:34.339
really strange like there's a story about a guy

00:30:34.339 --> 00:30:36.880
who gets struck by lightning it affects his brain

00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:39.240
and he actually gets better at music in a weird

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:42.859
way so i believe it's it's something physical

00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:47.019
but obviously it can be you know improved or

00:30:47.019 --> 00:30:50.420
neglected with um nurture you know what i mean

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:52.980
oh that's a good oh that's a good point okay

00:30:52.980 --> 00:30:55.859
so i will tell you my first concert no judgment

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:58.329
can you just say i won't judge you adrian Dude,

00:30:58.390 --> 00:31:00.630
I probably have more cringey interests than anyone,

00:31:00.930 --> 00:31:04.410
so I will not judge you. Nope. Okay. It was Andy

00:31:04.410 --> 00:31:07.250
Gibb for the Bee Gees. He ended up passing away

00:31:07.250 --> 00:31:10.829
at a young age. He was 16. And I really loved

00:31:10.829 --> 00:31:14.109
him. But then I realized that his little nephews,

00:31:14.109 --> 00:31:17.089
I think it is, do you see them on YouTube? And

00:31:17.089 --> 00:31:21.309
I mean, TikTok? Oh my God. oh my god they're

00:31:21.309 --> 00:31:24.529
so cute they play all the cover for their and

00:31:24.529 --> 00:31:26.529
i was like these guys are great and then i saw

00:31:26.529 --> 00:31:28.690
they had like who they were and i'm like oh that

00:31:28.690 --> 00:31:32.369
makes so much sense oh my gosh okay so summer

00:31:32.369 --> 00:31:34.349
how can people support you what would what would

00:31:34.349 --> 00:31:37.009
you like we're all happy to do whatever we can

00:31:37.009 --> 00:31:41.130
to get you where you need to be i uh if anyone

00:31:41.130 --> 00:31:43.329
wants to join my mailing list that's probably

00:31:43.329 --> 00:31:45.490
the best way because that's the best way you're

00:31:45.490 --> 00:31:48.250
gonna find out about like upcoming concerts um

00:31:48.250 --> 00:31:51.759
you know Freaking upcoming stuff that I'm releasing

00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:54.700
So mailing list is the best way, but if you want

00:31:54.700 --> 00:31:56.319
to just follow me, you can always follow me on

00:31:56.319 --> 00:31:59.920
tik -tok If you want to support me monetarily,

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:02.160
you can always be my like member on YouTube or

00:32:02.160 --> 00:32:05.759
or join my patreon I also have tik -tok memberships.

00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:07.799
I still I'm very new to all this stuff. What

00:32:07.799 --> 00:32:09.500
do we get though? So you are doing it. So what

00:32:09.500 --> 00:32:12.099
do we get for the membership? I love it I just

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:14.400
started, so I haven't even seen a dollar from

00:32:14.400 --> 00:32:17.420
YouTube yet, but I do a lot of live streams and

00:32:17.420 --> 00:32:19.660
I release videos early. That's the main thing.

00:32:19.859 --> 00:32:22.740
All my patrons and members will see videos three

00:32:22.740 --> 00:32:25.079
to four days earlier than everyone else, so that's

00:32:25.079 --> 00:32:27.400
what I've been doing lately. Oh, so I'll be the

00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:30.079
first. I will be the first. I'll sign up. I love

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.759
that. then I think it would be a great idea to

00:32:33.759 --> 00:32:36.480
do something private. Once you get a few, you

00:32:36.480 --> 00:32:39.220
do something neat. That would be very cool. Make

00:32:39.220 --> 00:32:41.240
sure your offerings are very clear why people

00:32:41.240 --> 00:32:43.579
should membership. And you can send me anything

you see me I'll be happy to be in it and then

00:35:54.840 --> 00:36:00.960
so after like September of 2022 me, Corey Orton,

00:36:01.230 --> 00:36:07.849
Michael Schmidt and Scott all had started brainstorming,

00:36:08.070 --> 00:36:12.710
planning. And then on February 14th of 2023,

00:36:13.030 --> 00:36:18.489
yeah, we started filming my family and then we

00:36:18.489 --> 00:36:22.409
went to Fan Expo in Portland. We all did filming

00:36:22.409 --> 00:36:26.570
in Portland. So that's when you went to Blockbuster?

00:36:27.869 --> 00:36:32.760
No, actually, so we... First, we went to, we

00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:36.199
filmed in Portland and Fan Expo Portland of 2023.

00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:42.980
And then we went to the Bay Area, which I was

00:36:42.980 --> 00:36:48.260
from, from July 2004 till about September 11th

00:36:48.260 --> 00:36:52.300
of 2018. So we filmed all around the Bay Area,

00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:58.360
my 30th birthday bash. We interviewed all my

00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:01.920
friends there. And then after that, we went to

00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:06.920
StocktonCon, July 8th and 9th of 2023. We did,

00:37:08.920 --> 00:37:13.099
we filmed, we interviewed Billy West from the

00:37:13.099 --> 00:37:17.099
Futurama fame. We interviewed Thomas Ian Nicholas

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:29.769
and C. Andrew Nelson. Which showed 2023. And

00:37:29.769 --> 00:37:39.710
then, so after that we actually, then we did

00:37:39.710 --> 00:37:43.750
filming in Burbank from October 5th through the

00:37:43.750 --> 00:37:49.730
7th, going all around LA. Our first meeting was,

00:37:49.730 --> 00:37:52.489
first interview was with Bermuda Schwartz, where

00:37:52.489 --> 00:37:57.250
I was drummer. We got him in it. We had a Mexican

00:37:57.250 --> 00:38:02.039
dinner interview. Me and Bermuda, Aaron Marshall

00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:04.659
Cohen from Radioactive Chickenheads were there.

00:38:05.579 --> 00:38:09.500
Michael Schmidt, my dad, and Scott were all filming

00:38:09.500 --> 00:38:14.860
John for my documentary. And then we went to

00:38:14.860 --> 00:38:20.280
the Hollywood show the 10th, no, October 7th.

00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:22.039
Then we did an interview with Summer. We did

00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.260
an interview with all my other Hollywood shows.

00:38:24.539 --> 00:38:28.599
Summer's gonna be in the movie! Oh yes. Yeah,

00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:32.280
so and then we did this whole big wrap party

00:38:32.280 --> 00:38:35.360
and then summer was the music talent so after

00:38:35.360 --> 00:38:44.019
that we We finished wrapping the the wrapping

00:38:44.019 --> 00:38:51.460
the Post -production on that day so after that

00:38:51.460 --> 00:38:55.980
2023 and then we started editing Aaron is our

00:38:55.980 --> 00:39:02.179
editor He edited 80 % of the film. So as a, and

00:39:02.179 --> 00:39:05.539
then we, me and Scott did our first convention

00:39:05.539 --> 00:39:12.099
together at LostCon 49 in LA. We had panels there.

00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:16.079
We promoted the film there. And then we actually,

00:39:17.099 --> 00:39:22.119
as of January, then me, Corey Orton and Michael

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:27.090
Schmidt all went to Fan Expo Portland this year.

00:39:27.650 --> 00:39:32.210
And we interviewed Rain Wilson. We got Nine Minutes

00:39:32.210 --> 00:39:37.090
with Rain. We got Tim Jacobus, the Goosebumps

00:39:37.090 --> 00:39:42.969
guy. We did a lot of, we did The Voice of Dora,

00:39:43.190 --> 00:39:47.269
Kathleen Hurlis. We did Emily Swallow from Men

00:39:47.269 --> 00:39:55.000
in Lorian. And then after that, we, we, We dropped

00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:59.099
the new trailer March 19th of this year. It can

00:39:59.099 --> 00:40:04.340
be found on Scott Zacharin's YouTube. And then

00:40:04.340 --> 00:40:09.579
as we stand right now, Scott has hired Summer

00:40:09.579 --> 00:40:12.739
to be in his next film, which is called Lydia.

00:40:13.360 --> 00:40:18.320
And she wrote an original song called Stand Together.

00:40:18.659 --> 00:40:21.619
And I think that should be the last song of this.

00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:25.440
interview because that song's really good. Oh

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:29.039
my god, this is so exciting. If you think, if

00:40:29.039 --> 00:40:32.460
you think Pasadena's good, Stand Together's the

00:40:32.460 --> 00:40:38.599
next, it's like the edict of Her Weird Al. So,

00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:43.800
so that song is really good. Scott, Summer has

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:47.500
a cameo in Scott's movie. She's in the scene,

00:40:48.119 --> 00:40:51.239
the big birthday party scene. She plays Pasadena.

00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.659
and she wrote the winter song for Scott Zacher

00:40:53.659 --> 00:40:59.320
and so, uh, Lydia is in editing is almost done.

00:40:59.880 --> 00:41:04.500
So where will this be released? Um, I mean, wait,

00:41:04.739 --> 00:41:06.980
wait, first tell us, tell us about some movies

00:41:06.980 --> 00:41:09.539
that like the average person may recognize that

00:41:09.539 --> 00:41:14.059
Scott has. Okay. Scott's going to have a cow,

00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:23.010
but this is his first big first film he did in

00:41:23.010 --> 00:41:27.070
1989. It's called Creating Rem. It's his first

00:41:27.070 --> 00:41:31.570
ever documentary, first feature film. It's a

00:41:31.570 --> 00:41:34.969
children's musical. It's called Creating Rem

00:41:34.969 --> 00:41:40.269
Lazar from 1989. So this is a kid's film. It's

00:41:40.269 --> 00:41:42.869
about a singing superhero with our good friend

00:41:42.869 --> 00:41:47.590
Jack Mohaney. And this is very entertaining.

00:41:47.969 --> 00:41:55.329
So, and then. Corey created the art for the soundtrack

00:41:55.329 --> 00:41:59.670
of the film. And so that's his first film, but

00:41:59.670 --> 00:42:04.050
Scott mainly is known for this, these films.

00:42:04.349 --> 00:42:11.090
So I've known Scott for about, since 2017, his

00:42:11.090 --> 00:42:16.090
three, his two films, two, three films. So his

00:42:16.090 --> 00:42:19.639
three films that he, worked on. So the story

00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:24.480
about me and Scott. So me and Scott met. So I

00:42:24.480 --> 00:42:27.019
started this project called the comic book, the

00:42:27.019 --> 00:42:33.400
movie. This is what he's known best known for.

00:42:33.860 --> 00:42:39.659
So I started this project on the poster in 2015.

00:42:40.260 --> 00:42:45.119
And then I then I said, why not start a poster

00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:48.460
project of everybody who's the main cast of the

00:42:48.460 --> 00:42:54.500
movie. Mark Hamill, Billy West, Jess Arnell,

00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:59.260
Stan Lee, Kevin Smith, Donna DiErico. So the

00:42:59.260 --> 00:43:02.440
first person who signed the project was Tara

00:43:02.440 --> 00:43:10.460
Strong at BabsCon 2014. And then I got Bill Morrison,

00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:16.650
Simpsons, then... Sergio Argus from Madden Magazine,

00:43:17.670 --> 00:43:21.650
then Mike Minolia from Hellboy. So that was started

00:43:21.650 --> 00:43:27.510
it. And then the poster to date is, one sec,

00:43:27.610 --> 00:43:29.730
give it back. I gotta get the thing. Okay, so

00:43:29.730 --> 00:43:32.389
this is very exciting that Shamim is going to

00:43:32.389 --> 00:43:35.269
have, we have to find out where it's going to

00:43:35.269 --> 00:43:37.710
air, like how they're going to release it. Yeah,

00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:41.559
I asked Scott about it and He was basically like,

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:43.480
uh, he was a little stressed. He was like, uh,

00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.400
we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. So

00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:48.099
I'm still not sure, but I don't want to get everybody

00:43:48.099 --> 00:43:50.119
like too excited because I don't know how soon

00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:53.320
the movie is actually going to release. Um, could

00:43:53.320 --> 00:43:55.559
be next year for all I know, but, uh, I'm just

00:43:55.559 --> 00:43:57.679
really excited about it. It's called the reincarnations

00:43:57.679 --> 00:44:00.760
of Lydia, by the way. Oh my God. I cannot, I

00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.840
cannot wait. I'm so excited about that. So guys,

00:44:05.039 --> 00:44:09.769
this is special treat. This is the poster. Be

00:44:09.769 --> 00:44:11.469
sure you have to watch us on YouTube, everyone.

00:44:11.630 --> 00:44:14.429
Oh, I love this post. I'll put a link in the

00:44:14.429 --> 00:44:16.349
show notes, too. Oh, I thought you were going

00:44:16.349 --> 00:44:19.530
to show the autographed King one. This is the

00:44:19.530 --> 00:44:25.929
poster. It has 1 ,030 signatures on it. That

00:44:25.929 --> 00:44:36.570
is incredible. 1 ,030? Yep. So here we have an

00:44:36.570 --> 00:44:46.610
example. Here is Dave Couyé. Here is Jason David

00:44:46.610 --> 00:44:50.449
Frank. There's Stan Lee's autograph right there.

00:44:50.710 --> 00:44:53.289
Oh my gosh. Chameleon will be here all day if

00:44:53.289 --> 00:44:57.889
you name him well. Yeah, so as of right now,

00:44:58.130 --> 00:45:06.369
we have 12 of the main cast. We have everybody

00:45:06.369 --> 00:45:11.309
but more camel. Amazing. So, the director. And

00:45:11.309 --> 00:45:16.809
then we discuss other films. Is this one called

00:45:16.809 --> 00:45:20.210
Mind Melts with William Shandler and Nimoy. There

00:45:20.210 --> 00:45:23.409
was executive producer on. Here's this Pride

00:45:23.409 --> 00:45:27.289
and Joy, which is the documentary with Stan Lee

00:45:27.289 --> 00:45:33.949
and Kevin Smith that he directed in 2002. So

00:45:33.949 --> 00:45:38.289
as of right now, Scott's Love Project is the

00:45:38.289 --> 00:45:52.909
Autograph King. Okay, so this is the Autograph

00:45:52.909 --> 00:46:07.929
King. Here is the Autograph King one. Let me

00:46:07.929 --> 00:46:10.849
share everyone. Let me share that. I'm going

00:46:10.849 --> 00:46:13.150
to post the trailer so everyone can actually

00:46:13.150 --> 00:46:17.710
understand Shamim's love and how he, like I go

00:46:17.710 --> 00:46:19.510
to these events, I'm scared to talk to anyone.

00:46:19.570 --> 00:46:21.289
I can never ask anyone for the autograph. It

00:46:21.289 --> 00:46:24.309
doesn't come natural, but Shamim does. Here it

00:46:24.309 --> 00:46:29.769
is. This is the art that my good friend Brian

00:46:29.769 --> 00:46:37.730
Ardent designed. It has So I started having people

00:46:37.730 --> 00:46:46.150
sign it. So this is the poster of the film. Come

00:46:46.150 --> 00:46:52.769
on YouTube, see it. And then here it is. So what

00:46:52.769 --> 00:46:58.130
Brian and Scott had in mind was Scott told me

00:46:58.130 --> 00:47:01.429
to gather all the stuff that I enjoy and then

00:47:01.429 --> 00:47:03.960
put it in one big collage. Oh, that's smart.

00:47:03.960 --> 00:47:09.059
So it's like a Wales wardrobe of my collection.

00:47:09.599 --> 00:47:12.420
Get off. I love it, Shemeem. I love it. And here.

00:47:13.179 --> 00:47:18.820
And so it's right now signed by Brian the artist,

00:47:19.139 --> 00:47:22.059
obviously. Sandy Harding from The Last Blockbuster.

00:47:23.659 --> 00:47:29.840
I love it. And then the cameo. Thomas also star.

00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.880
It's hard to see. Thomas and Nicholas. What do

00:47:32.880 --> 00:47:35.699
I see? Closer? Yeah, I love it. There's Thomas.

00:47:36.480 --> 00:47:40.559
There's Sandy. And my favorite guitar of mine

00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:46.300
is my special guitar that I found. So Shamim,

00:47:46.320 --> 00:47:48.619
if you're not watching, he's going back and forth

00:47:48.619 --> 00:47:53.139
to his closet where it's probably got some crazy

00:47:53.139 --> 00:47:55.539
amazing things in there. Some signatures, right?

00:47:55.800 --> 00:47:57.360
And then he's showing us. That's why he's faded

00:47:57.360 --> 00:48:01.360
a little bit because he's looking for everything.

00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:15.980
So this is my 2009 2006 Hello Kitty guitar by

00:48:15.980 --> 00:48:18.099
Squire. This is one of my favorite guitars I

00:48:18.099 --> 00:48:25.980
have and I've been playing for since 2006 about

00:48:25.980 --> 00:48:35.349
15 and 16 year about I was 12, 13, 14, and I

00:48:35.349 --> 00:48:41.090
basically, how I learned guitar was I'm so taught

00:48:41.090 --> 00:48:46.989
as well. And then, and so basically Sasha, my

00:48:46.989 --> 00:48:50.730
sister Sasha, who's also in the film, gave me

00:48:50.730 --> 00:48:56.269
this, so I technically borrowed, like stole her

00:48:56.269 --> 00:49:02.730
guitar when she was like, when she was like 15,

00:49:02.750 --> 00:49:04.670
and then I just bought it from her, and then

00:49:04.670 --> 00:49:10.050
now it's my guitar, so. And then I decided to

00:49:10.050 --> 00:49:15.730
have the voice actress in 2014, Tara Strong,

00:49:16.090 --> 00:49:19.809
sign it. Amazing. And so I actually clear coded

00:49:19.809 --> 00:49:23.099
it. We only have a few minutes left, because

00:49:23.099 --> 00:49:25.380
I'll never be able to get this all downloaded.

00:49:25.500 --> 00:49:29.019
It's going to be a long video. I heard something

00:49:29.019 --> 00:49:32.219
about Summer playing something. Did I hear that

00:49:32.219 --> 00:49:35.699
correct? Yes, let's do Stand Together for the

00:49:35.699 --> 00:49:39.699
promotion for Lydia. OK, I don't even have the

00:49:39.699 --> 00:49:43.000
lyrics on me. I'm going to have to go by memory,

00:49:43.139 --> 00:49:46.019
because I've never played this song all the way

00:49:46.019 --> 00:49:52.260
through. Is that OK? It is really good, Adriani.

00:49:52.739 --> 00:49:58.019
I like it. It's only a minute now because that's

00:49:58.019 --> 00:50:03.719
all we have. That's all I have. You ready? Summer

00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:08.579
Woods, everyone! Woo! Does it change? Okay, let

00:50:08.579 --> 00:50:12.199
me think. I can't keep it down. This is live,

00:50:12.260 --> 00:50:14.739
right? Hopefully I remember these words. Here

00:50:14.739 --> 00:50:20.099
we go. So this is for a scene that takes place

00:50:20.099 --> 00:50:50.929
at Woodstock. Break the grand illusion. We can

00:50:50.929 --> 00:50:57.710
stand together. A man can't keep you down. We

00:50:57.710 --> 00:51:02.889
can stand together. There's a change that's coming

00:51:02.889 --> 00:51:17.030
around. Thank you both so much. Thank you for

00:51:17.030 --> 00:51:19.690
introducing me to Summer. Summer, I'll get this

00:51:19.690 --> 00:51:22.409
up and out fairly quickly, probably be another

00:51:22.409 --> 00:51:24.429
week or so and I'll send it to you. I'm gonna

00:51:24.429 --> 00:51:27.610
tag you and I just want to support you. So you

00:51:27.610 --> 00:51:31.090
just need a mama here in Daytona Beach, even

00:51:31.090 --> 00:51:32.769
though I'm in Connecticut now, but if you need

00:51:32.769 --> 00:51:35.190

00:51:35.190 --> 00:51:38.050

00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:50.420
so tell us what's a quick version of how that

00:51:50.420 --> 00:51:53.539
come song come back come to be stand together

00:51:53.539 --> 00:51:55.739
Literally just because Scott said hey, we need

00:51:55.739 --> 00:51:57.659
a song for the Woodstock scene and I was like,

00:51:57.659 --> 00:52:03.559
okay So like Jefferson Airplane So so the style

00:52:03.559 --> 00:52:06.179
is Jefferson Airplane or what is your inspiration

00:52:06.179 --> 00:52:09.579
behind it? Stand together Yeah, pretty much.

00:52:09.980 --> 00:52:12.860
Just the songs that they played at Woodstock

00:52:12.860 --> 00:52:15.079
and a little bit of CCR, a little bit of Led

00:52:15.079 --> 00:52:23.420
Zeppelin. That's cool. So, let's do before we

00:52:23.420 --> 00:52:27.619
go last quick, Take Me Down to the Ended Out.

00:52:28.659 --> 00:52:31.380
As long as she's cool with that. You cool? I'm

00:52:31.380 --> 00:52:33.559
cool. I'm very cool. I'm probably about the coolest.

00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:36.039
61 year olds, you know, I'm like the coolest

00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:38.780
61 year old. So, um, so this is a song that how

00:52:38.780 --> 00:52:41.780
me and Summer, I found out about Summer actually

00:52:41.780 --> 00:52:44.960
is this song through, through our mutual friend.

00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:50.360
Um, Zeb, Zeb, Zeb told me why not contact Summer

00:52:50.360 --> 00:52:52.840
and become a friend. And that's what I just did.

00:52:52.860 --> 00:52:56.579
And then since then I helped Summer like meet

00:52:56.579 --> 00:52:59.880
interesting people like you, Scott, Jack. So

00:52:59.880 --> 00:53:02.360

00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:10.099
