Top TEN Things I Wish I Knew BEFORE Becoming A Musician

hey everybody I'm Rick Beato I'm Rachel so today we are we have microphones in front of us because we are going to be releasing this as a podcast and so sorry that it's covering up our face a bit but I think that you guys can deal with it you can listen to it in your car now there you go so Rhett what are we talking about today today we're talking about things that we both wish we knew when we started in music you what 35 years ago something which 40 something years ago I can write start in the mid 70s pray 42 years ago yeah and me was probably 17 years ago 16 years ago so yeah all right well once you go first Rhett give me a couple things all right well so when I started in music nobody in my family were musicians I didn't grow up in a musical family at all I mean we listened to music a lot but no musicians nobody played for a living or even played any instruments so when I found a guitar like the age of 12 13 years old I basically started the process of learning and teaching myself and the internet was a thing but YouTube wasn't really around and so I just did a lot of listening to records and trying to play what I heard but never took any lessons never you know there was a lot of styles of music I just wasn't exposed to from an early age that explains a lot yeah and so I think one of the main things I wish I had known I wish I had done when I started out was taking lessons I wish I had found a really great teacher someone who was a pro who had been gigging for years who could have really showed me the ropes of how to do music for a living because I had no concept of you know when I was playing guitar as a kid I didn't even know you really could earn a living from music I thought it was just something people did for fun you know yeah the earning a living thing is not when I was growing up nobody even thought about that that was not even I mean you saw people that were famous and you figured oh they made a lot of money but but nobody thought about making a living unless you were playing in a cover band or Minori had a record deal or something at that I mean just the idea of making a living music most of the people that I knew that made a living in music were music teachers yeah that was pretty much the only that was pretty much the only job you could have as a musician where you were you would make a living that you actually knew people that did that I didn't know anybody did the head record deals right did I yeah the only people I knew that were professional musicians were band directors at my middle school at high school you know I didn't even know anybody that had ever recorded in a studio know until I was until honestly the four track came out in 79 or so the tasks imported one something like that the and I remember going over to some guys apartment with my punk rock band the Monroe's maybe was 78 and in recording four of our songs and it was the first time I had ever recorded anything and then my my cousin actually went to school for for sound recording in Fredonia State University and I went there probably 1979 1980 and recorded a project in an actual studio and that's the first time ever set foot in a studio as funny as I just bought a task importa to like last week on eBay how much was I think I paid like after shipping it was like 200 oh you and believe it or not that was actually a good deal around eBay I'm gonna I'm gonna sit on it for a couple months I told you that we had one here yeah but I couldn't find it I just I just tore apart your whole studio basement and couldn't good night I told her I've got one of those but I say good luck finding yeah I don't know where it is I know where the box is though alright well we'll start there afterwards no no the box is nothing of course but but the box is definitely down here I've definitely seen it here okay so no no lessons YouTube was around though when you started right well no because I picked up a guitar in 2003 like late 2003 2004 and I think YouTube really came on the scene in six I want to say and at the time even and no six people weren't remember guitar lesson you didn't nobody really knew what to do with YouTube in 2006 you know it's kind of like twitch is now in the music community too which is sort of where YouTube was 10 years ago when it comes to to music you tube in 2007 he did it for a year so then he stopped and he started again in 2009 but there are definitely people that are still out making videos that were on YouTube at the beginning but not a lot yeah and it's it was definitely not the wealth of information that it is now I mean if I was 13 14 years old now learning guitar I think I would be much further along musically than I am now at 28 years old just from being exposed to different types of music at an earlier age for me jazz I'd never heard jazz until I was in music school here in Atlanta at 20 years old and Trey right the the head of the jazz guitar department played us kind of blue and that was my first time listening to jazz and it opened my mind up to a whole different world of music that I'd never listened to and those like early first 4 or 5 years of playing guitar which are so important with any instrument you know your first five years I think you're kind of the most formative for you know where you're gonna be 10 15 20 years down the road that's interesting when Rhett and I were discussing this earlier the first thing that popped into my mind that was about words technical things that I wish that I had done and one of them is economy picking any time you have an odd number of notes per string you can go in in the same direction and any time you have two notes in a string you change direction that's correct economy picking that is just about impossible to learn when you have been playing guitar for 45 years that sweet picking things like that these are things that no one talked about because I didn't know anyone that played like that yeah I didn't either I really didn't either the the guys that I knew that played around me when I was in Middle School in high school were you know either really into the metal scene which I was never really I mean I Jimi Hendrix is the reason I picked up a guitar first time I heard Red House like 12 years old it blew my mind and so and even today listening to that early stuff Hendrix and Pink Floyd and then John Mayer and all that kind of stuff still really informs my playing today because that's what I listen to when I first started so yeah I agree like if if I had a tret I had lessons and they didn't teach that because right no one played like that's why I said I wish I had a really great teacher someone who was like seasoned these guys were great teachers but they just they didn't have technique like that even the people that had chops when I was when I was learning how to play that I heard Allan Holdsworth he played everything legato with hammer-ons pull-offs then I then Al Di Meola and Steve Morse and they were alternate Pickers yeah I don't know if they'll do me all the did sweet picking or not I don't think I don't think of him as being a sweet Penner either he does super fasty and john mclaughlin do really fast alternate picking right which I had never heard until I was in my 20s which at that point I've been playing guitar for got 12 years or so so and yeah you're right that kind of that door sort of closes after a little while when you're learning any lifelong skill any instrument you know you kind of have it's like the learning curve you know you go through that really steep period of growth where you're learning a lot in a short amount of time and then as it starts to level out which for me was probably five or six years into playing it's just it's almost impossible to change your technique at that point yeah yeah my take tin at this point yeah you develop habits like that that being said I don't know if my techniques as good as it was when I was playing everyday you know around 1990 and practicing all the time and I was in my 20s but it's with a couple weeks of practice everyday if I practice two hours a day I'd have better chaps than I've ever had yeah I can play I know more things to play that's the thing even if I've even if I went 20 years without really playing the guitar which I pretty much did when I was producing I mean I would play a little bit parts but I wouldn't practice and play solos or anything like that yeah nothing that needed chops yeah and I think to me that's another thing I wish I had known when I started playing professionally so I went to music school here in Atlanta and was there for a year did the program in a year and then graduated and started playing and I met you not long after and after that but when I went to music school I went from being completely self-taught never having any lessons or any kind of structured practice routine to a really intense program of studying all different mean I didn't even really know what a major scale was when I started and so I had a lot of holes in my knowledge and so what that did was that year of rigorous training I came out of school and into trying to play and gig and be in bands and record thinking I had to know how to do all these super complex okay I've got a no sweet picking and I have to know how to improvise and all my modes or else I'm never gonna get hired for a gig and it took me kind of the first two or three years to sort of not unlearn all that stuff but to realize that that's not necessarily what pays the bills that's not gonna land you a gig and so that's one thing I wish I had known - getting back to just having a really great teacher who was experienced in playing out and touring and gigging to tell you like okay these are the things that you really need to know you need to understand Nashville number system you need to understand how to mic and amp you need to understand tone you need to understand your triads up and down the neck Yesi out of that entire list there's one thing that that's knowing your triads up and down the neck I didn't know one talked about miking amps cuz nobody did their own recording no one talked about what I mean well I was listening to them and I said no we didn't have to know that no one talked about that now no one talked about any of that yeah well I it's up and down the neck definitely this was more about playing and playing by ear yeah people always talk to me about music theory Rick oh you know you know you always talk about music there you know about this stuff it's I learned music theory after I learned how to play when I was trying to teach other people yeah that that's when you have to actually know music theory but I'll tell you a little story that I when I went to Cal I could not read very well I read music read music yeah I got into college and I was a bass major and my ear was so good at the time I don't mean bragging at a good ear and I would learn a piece from listening to it I'd listen to a record of it or just hear what other people were playing and I would figure out what the notes were yeah and just memorize it so I remember I got went into my sight singing final two semesters into into college and this mr. Stevenson the sight singing teacher he did the I've always got a hundred on the oral exams listening writing down things like that notation but he had me sight read this thing I couldn't do it I just couldn't do it and he said what what how can you not do this I said I don't read very well and he said you got to be kidding me you're in your fourth semester I've had you in classes before and he said you know you can't pass you can't get out of music school if you can't pass this class and I said I I said I I said I just I've done everything by ear and he said all right if you promise me that you'll work on this on your own then I'm gonna pass you any I said okay and so he passed me so I went and studied with a freshman piano this is always the thing I got into college taking lessons with a freshman guitar player and I learned how to read music with a freshman piano player this kid Tim Newton who actually happens to be a he's a college professor now he was one of the only kids that had perfect pitch and he was a great reader and he would sit down in the practice rooms and help me with my reading yeah and I was I was a sophomore and he was a freshman I believe it was and and here he was a freshman was helping me with my reading it's unbelievable I had a really similar experience in music school actually I don't think we've ever talked about this I had an almost identical experience I was horrible at reading and Steve Rick who's a great guitar here in town was one of my teachers and he taught reading and my second or third quarter in aim I had a sight reading test with Steve and just failed miserably like didn't make it through the first two bars and just couldn't do it and we had a similar thing he's like you gotta be kidding me out you've you've been here for you know almost a year at this point I was like man I just camp and I did the same thing because my entire time of learning guitar up to that point had been playing completely by ear you know guitar tabs were around you had you know the the websites everything but I learned pretty quickly that you can't trust guitar tabs online because they're 90% of the time computing trust him in magazines either yeah they were just wrong and so I learned how to play a year and so I had a good year as well go and that's still how I work mainly today is playing mostly by ear and getting back to the theory thing I'm kind of the same way I learned theory after I learned how to play and the way that I like to think about theory is it's just a way of communicating what's right well it's like understanding grammar and vocabulary if you have a great vocabulary and a great sense of grammar it doesn't mean that you can write a great novel you still have to have something to say conversely if you have a great idea and a great story but you don't know how to communicate it effectively you're you're not gonna get that story out so that's how I like to think about theory is that it's a necessary way of communicating with people with other musicians but understanding theory inside and out is not going to inherently make you a great player so I've said this before an episode they didn't have tab I mean a tab there's tab and loop music right from the you know 17th century but people didn't we didn't have good tab in Guitar magazines go back to magazines in the 70s that tab started happening around probably around 1980 or so you start seeing it appear in Guitar Player and magazines like that and you know you had to be able to read now I could figure things out I when I said I couldn't read I couldn't sight read well yeah but I could read and I could figure out notes and rhythms and things like that if I had time to work it out right which is typically in Orchestra that's I would learn on the bass I mean I would be I'd have to bring the stuff home and actually look at it and at that point the music's just serving is like a point of reference for you right because you essentially memorize the pigs actually you're just yeah exactly so another thing for me that I wish that I had done but is really not through any fault of my own is I wish I had taken piano lessons I didn't have a piano because we couldn't afford a piano that's you know that that's the reason it's not that my parents didn't want to give us piano lessons we didn't have a we lived in a very small house we didn't have room for a piano even if even if we did we had nine people in a three-bedroom house with one bathroom we did not have room for a piano yeah I don't think our house was more than 1,200 square feet or so you know three bedrooms nine people and I remember we got a piano the day I left for college something like that my brother John my youngest brother so I was the second youngest he got to take piano lessons I learned in the practice rooms at college I taught myself I didn't never took a piano lesson and I practiced all the time I loved having a piano and I just wish that I had taken piano lessons when I was a kid that's a that if I had to do one thing over I don't have any regrets in my life if I could do what had one do-over I would do that I would I would have taken piano lessons from the time I was four years old yeah yeah I would probably say the same thing although I have I loved drums and I wish I could play drums and that's one of those things that you have to develop really good limb independence as a drummer you have to start young all the best drummers I know all my friends who are incredible drummers have been playing since God three four five six years old something like that you know so I wish I would have would have played that from an early age in piano as well but just be just in order to help my guitar playing out you know and to help me develop more melodic ideas and understand chord structures and things like that a little better piano is incredibly useful for that kind of stuff yeah the the drumming part obviously we didn't have room for a drumset either I played with drummers in high school but unless you had a drum set sitting around we never we couldn't practice at our house so I never really got to play the drums until I bought drum sets when I was a producer yeah and I had them here and I've got 10 of them or so and you know a couple rooms over but you know I learned how to play basic beats and but I really learned how to program drums I knew what drums what the drummer's should play that was the big thing and I know what the drums should sound like I know how to tune them I know how they're constructed yeah everything about the drums yeah I was from doing so many sessions that's that's a really really big thing you know I was thinking about sayings that that my parents had when we were talking about this particular subject and one of them that my dad used to say was figure it out for yourself Rick I'm not gonna be around forever that was one of his favorite sayings he always encouraged me to you know I'd ask him a question and he would tell me to figure it out for myself I'd ask him for his advice and he's his thing was always make your own decisions I never had a bedtime I never had to be in at a certain time which is why I was a D student in high school my parents let me have tremendous independence but when I went to college I was incredibly disciplined because I didn't feel like I didn't feel like I had lived a life under their thumb at that point I felt like oh I've been able to do anything I wanted to and having that freedom is incredible for a kid and when you when it comes time to buckle down I buckled down yeah I did not read it read as the opposite I'm the complete opposite my parents weren't helicopter parents or anything like that but they definitely were more structured and more rigid I think then your parents were and so when I went to college I had the opposite you know I did I never partied or any of that kind of stuff I was in school in the mountains of North Georgia and so I was whitewater kayaking and rock climbing all day every day pretty much and left my first year of college I only did one year of college and I think my GPA well I left my freshman year was it was it was below at one point oh it was like a point seven or point eight something it was so bad that that the college sent a letter home after my freshman year saying your parents money is no good here you can't come back so one thing for me that I actually am glad I got into pretty early on was the recording and producing stuff which I actually have you to thank for that I was you know finally yeah finally finally I think it like Tomo is crediting Rhett for helping me out starting my channel and everything yeah well finally it comes out you hear you heard it here first yeah I think it was like 22 years old when I first came to the studio and this was the first time I had ever set foot in any kind of recording studio at all I came with a friend of mine who I was playing with at the time who you were gonna produce the record and we came in toured the studio and I was just walking around here with my eyes wide open like well that's a tape machine and look at all these amps and all these guitars and stuff so not long after we finished that record I asked you and and Ken the assistant can I start coming to hang out and that turned into an internship and I must have spent what three years something like that internees down here you know and that's where I think for me my music music education kind of really happened when I was here working in this studio and working on records and playing on records I think this is where I really learned how to play guitar because I've played you know I don't know how many sessions down here that bands would come in and I would track either while they were here when they would leave I'd go and you would do things that I it I had gotten to that point in my career where I didn't want to play any more parts I had played on so many records replayed parts or done overdubs that people you know just they weren't yet bands that weren't capable with coming up with with auxilary parts you would call them they do their basic tracks but when you're making a record you need other parts that make the recordings interesting and those parts are more esoteric to come up with but yet they are the things that glue the recordings together make them to me make them interesting some people use the term ear candy I hate that term personally yeah yet so I would say to Rhett hey once you play guitar on this and he would say what do you want me to play I said well you find a good sound and play something good and and I prefigure it out for yourself I pretty much only had two takes because if I couldn't do it in two takes he I just give me the guitar I'll play it so that so to take this to be ATO to take really yeah so call me to take me out I would do one take though but no I would give people two takes to get something if they weren't on the on the contract at coming up with something good yeah I'd have to rip the instrument from them and play it myself but that was really valuable because it taught me to think on my feet and it gave me a lot of confidence in a recording studio which is something that I think is really important for players to learn nowadays because the reality is if you're gonna be a musician a working musician today you have to know so much more than just playing your instrument you have to know how to engineer you have to know how to record you have to know production techniques you have to know how to write because it's so much harder in my experience to make a good living from just playing gigs and touring you you really have to have all these different irons in the fire and so for me it was incredibly valuable to spin those years down here in this basement learning this stuff and playing on these records because now I'm I feel really confident walking into almost any studio situation because if you can track for brick Beato I feel like you can track for just about anybody you know you know the the obviously it was quite opposite with me growing up since we didn't have these recording opportunities and you played with a click when you would practice you'd have the metronome doing that yeah there was no electronic metronomes that would that didn't this and start happening until you had them but you couldn't afford them really that you'd have them when you were in the cut in college classrooms would have them they'd have the ones that plugged in and they wouldn't do every they would go you know a couple beats here or maybe four beats between temple markings and you couldn't do you know I mean now they have metronomes that do poly rhythms yeah I mean if crazy right they have all these crazy metronomes but the this the ability to play in the studio to play with a click track is incredibly important especially nowadays where everything is played all groups are all quantized for the most part oh yeah if you can't and especially in a live situation if you can't play with a click track and play with backing tracks or have a drummer on top of that if you don't know how to run Ableton right you you're not gonna work in a lot of situations especially around Atlanta and Nashville and LA you know most of that stuff is so dependent on you being able to play with clicks and tracks and in ears and all that kind of stuff yeah that's a real skill to is to be able to play with a click track play play good parts in time that's something that I never thought about for me it's similar to when I played in bands I was always the guy that couldn't hook up any gear if the PA was unhooked when I got to the practice space it stayed unhooked until the guys that knew I'd hook up the PA got there because I could not plug in a mic I could not run a run a console you know a little small monitor board or anything like that I did not know how to do that it was until I started producing and a very good friend of mine Donald Jones one day I remember this back in 1999 or so and I went out to this restaurant with him and I said re Donnell please explain to me signal flow and I told them before we were gonna go to this place that he was gonna explain single signal flow to me and he laughed Donald's a few years older than me and yes just a great I've been wanting to get him on an episode do you know Donnell at all no he's amazing guys super super smart taught me a lot about engineering really interesting person too so he comes there we're at the brick store down and oh yeah so we're sitting there and Donnell I said all right Donald just I'm the dumb guy that doesn't know anything here just give it to me like a just pretend I'm 10 years old or so and and baby language right and so he would draw diagrams and okay here's your microphone it goes in here into the mic pre and he went through and I said well what if you want to put a compressor and what is a bus I mean I would ask questions like that what is a bus I mean it's late how old were you and oh man I was 37 yeah yeah crazy 37 learning this stuff for the first time yeah and then I you know within two years I could run s I said SSL consoles I worked on Neves I never even thought about it it became second nature and I was working in studios all the time so I used every piece of gear you can imagine and I would always use new pieces of gear outboard gear I'm talking about a great time I would use them because I wanted to get familiar and I would go to specific studios that had pieces of gear that other places didn't have I mean if you go to Blackbird in Nashville for example and you say I mean they have everything there so you say hey I want a Helio 760 compressor do you have a pair of those of course we do we have 10 pairs of them because they have 10 pairs of everything right and you know any esoteric piece of gear that you can think of they have their and it's great that's the way you usually sing so when all the plug-in versions came out of love things Neve 10 80 81 Steve 10 73 Steve 1066 is Neve 1080 fors then you could compare them because you actually had the experience you knew what an 1176 was because you'd used them a million times an la-2a in LA 3a yeah and 1178 so when plugin versions of any of these things came out lexicon for atl I know that reverb does this sound like that reverb and that doesn't sound like that reverb to me right you know and as computers got faster and faster you started getting better versions of these things well nowadays - its it's kind of the opposite everybody's learning myself included for the most part I mean you have a lot of great outboard gear here as well but for me learning I've learned pretty much everything in the box and so I have come up on these plugins and I'm used to how these plugins react and sounded so for me getting my hands on actual outboard gear it's kind of a rare privilege you know and I certainly don't have an SSL console or anything that I have you know easy access to to learn on if you want that you see yourself to go down to tree sound and yeah all that kind of stuff yeah I feel really fortunate that I started when I did because it was during the transition I mean I produced my first record in around 95 or so and once again these were always engineered up until 99 or 2000 they were engineered by other people and I would have to rely on them I'd say oh this sound needs more low mid-range this needs more I mean I knew what I heard yeah I could say oh the kick drum I would use words like it's not puffy enough I didn't say I didn't say Oh needs more 60 Hertz you know or it needs more 2k on the attack or 3k I would say it needs to be puffy and needs to have more click and and I remember my buddy Billy Hume that I was was doing records with and Billy would always he was great because he would is it puffy enough he would be serious though yeah I said I know it needs a little more there's some plosives a bit of right there right it's not good so that's those are the kind of things and and working with so we started on tape and then you went from where you do tape and then have Pro Tools running yeah locked with a with timecode and do your vocals on Pro Tools and then eventually you went to all Pro Tools yeah yes we realized how valuable Pro Tools was for vocal editing yeah and I've learned pretty much exclusively on Pro Tools both here and on my own stuff and the stuff I do for my my youtube channel everything is it analogic know I came up on Pro Tools and I just recently got into logic and I when I'm producing music or writing stuff I do it in logic but I still prefer Pro Tools because that's what I learned on and I still feel fast ProTools I can edit faster I can mix more effectively and quicker and pro tools but the reason I bought the the task cam at the Porta Oh too is because I want to start learning tape techniques and recording I told Rhett that that's not a good thing to do to learn tape what's gonna sound crappy it's gonna be a little sorted well I have I have a an old Ampex a TRS 700 like a two track reel you know but need some work you know so and I'm just kind of dipping my feet into it now but yeah you you have you know you're welcome to take my tape tape machine if you want and use it for it's only weighs 429 pounds don't don't threaten y'all actually load that thing up in the truck and take it home that was quite difficult to get in here in the studio yeah yeah I'm sure I could get it we I think we had four people we had four people that lifted it because the the control room here is a floating floor and it's up probably about four inches or so and to lift 400 over 400 pounds of it has four handles on it he had one person yeah four people on these hands I'll figure it out be worth it to get it these are things that the things that I didn't learn I didn't know I was gonna need to learn those things because none of them had been invented yet so these are things that I learned as an adult and not as a young adult even I mean it's you you're fortunate to have come into this earlier in life but there's a lot of people in my you know a lot of the producers out there even today that produce a lot of records are people that are my age maybe a little younger and some older yeah that that came up that started on tape and then made the crossover to Pro Tools or logic or whatever da W they use Ableton and you know you had to learn all these things one at a time you had to learn every plugin I mean I have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of plugins I have every plug-in that you could pretty much imagine between my two systems and and I was just anytime I had some extra money I would buy plugin I just would you'd find him on sale you used to be able to buy him off eBay and a discount from people I don't know oh yeah oh I used to buy plugins all the time people would resell plug yes they sell the licenses and you transfer in via I lock Wow I would buy plugins on eBay all the time back in the early 2000s did not know that yeah before my 25 bucks for that you know something that would maybe cost three three hundred bucks yeah you get for 25 bucks or 100 $100 I don't know how much it would be and then they do an I like transfer I that's if that's fascinating to me that they would charge that much less because it's not like there's any wear and tear on no plug in no it needs to be have main maintenance done to it or something like you would on no but people didn't want to spend money I don't know why it's so weird I mean people used to have the boxes and that was the thing it comes with the box with the actual program on a cd-rom I mean that was kind of important to people at the time not realizing hey wait a minute I mean he didn't really transfer things like that you weren't emailing things over the Internet these programs so you'd actually have to send them out well eventually you would just do the I like transfer and then you download the plug yeah I don't roam the last time I bought a physical piece of software yeah well when you start it you'll see them all over in the and I know it's just digging through all the boxes I know they're oh yeah I've got every version of ProTools you can imagine I have every plot all those plugins that I have our own they all are on CD ROMs yeah yeah and now they don't even come in machines anymore so I you know the these things are as far as is things I wish that I had known about getting back to that the recording part I wish that I was exposed to that earlier for sure or or when I was first exposed to it I wish I had paid attention to it because I was in studios a lot starting in the 80s and I just never ever thought about how you might an app it just didn't interest me I don't know why it's weird what I'm so fascinated by it now right and I'm sure there's things that I'm doing that with today - it's like god I need to know that whatever well you never actually realize the things that you need - no at the time yeah that's that's the benefit of looking back on them and realizing it they were even typing you know I can't type so what am I gonna do hindsight being 20/20 and all right yeah I mean like I said I'm sure there's things that that I'm skipping over today that are gonna be crucially important some some point in the future but you can't you can't just live your life that way trying to constantly speculate like oh no I need right here case in point editing video editing yeah I didn't know how to run a camera until you set it up for me I still don't to be fair you still call me to set it up so I don't know if you I got from Germany hey what's my frame rate supposed to be somebody screwed around with my camera today today before we started recording this podcast I had to change a setting but it's all good I actually filmed red I've only made about 600 videos I actually filmed red to show me how to change the frame rate on my camera I mean look dude it's not like you have missed out on any any success on the YouTube platform so far because your your shutter speed has been set at the wrong setting for 600 videos but we don't really know see as people would come in and set up my camera and then it would just stay like that yeah and and if somebody would come in and just turn one of the one of the knobs on it I would I would not know what to do and then I call Rhett hey it's on em or it's on V or something used to be nm didn't it well if anybody watches the channel anytime there's been major changes in the look of Rick's videos it's because I've been over here and I'll be like watching one of his videos me like oh man the white balance is so wrong on that next time I'm over there I'm gonna fix it and just without telling him I'll go over and change the camera and then he'll call me dude it looks look so much better what happened is like oh yeah I changed this the ISO and the white balance well it's kind of I was telling Rhett last night my daughter Leila I was eating some potato chips and having a conversation with my wife and not paying attention and then next thing I know eat this chip and I go my daughter Leila my five year old came and put a ghost pepper chip in in the when I wasn't looking in the potato chip thing I was singing I thought she was getting some potato chips out but she stuck a ghost pepper chip and I was that's brutal man that was brutal I started sneezing on with laughing that's so
