Description
On this episode of The Grant Street Experience, Grant Ervin talks to local author Wil 3.
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
to
the
grant
street
experience,
I'm
your
host
grant
irvin
great
to
be
with
everyone
here
today.
A
Over
the
past
couple
weeks,
we've
been
getting
some
comments
from
some
of
our
listeners
as
a
follow-up
to
our
reading
listening
and
watching
session,
and
the
suggestion
was
to
invite
local
authors
onto
the
grant
street
experience
to
share
their
experience
about
writing
and
living
in
pittsburgh
and
some
of
the
topics
that
they're
covering.
A
So
today
we
have
our
first
local
author
will
three
author
of
heartly
god,
which
is
a
great
tale
and
story.
I've
had
a
chance
to
read
it
myself
and
uses
pittsburgh
as
one
of
its
characters,
so
we
thought
would
start
with
will
and
dive
into
a
little
bit
about
the
story,
his
life
and
using
pittsburgh
as
the
backdrop
for
local
content
and
books.
So
will
welcome
to
the
grant
street
experience.
How
are
you
today.
B
A
B
A
So
the
the
honor
is
all
ours,
so
we'll,
maybe
just
to
dive
in
a
little
bit.
If
you
can
for
listeners,
just
share
a
little
bit
about
your
story
and
your
experience
and
how
you
got
into
effectively
kind
of
being
a
local
author.
B
B
B
A
A
What
what
are
you
so?
You
mentioned
local
playwright,
so
this
is
kind
of
a
cumulative
experience
before
you
got
your
first
book
published.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
those
plays
that
you
developed
and
and
the
the
stage
experience
versus
the
writing
experience.
B
It's
two
different
two
different
styles
of
writing
and
I
I
really
had
to
learn
how
to
play
write
it's
different,
because
the
dialogue
in
a
play
is
going
to
be
much
more
succinct
and
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
less
because
you
have
to
give
actors
room
to
insert
their
craft,
and
that's
kind
of
that
was
always
difficult
for
me,
because
I
want
to
kind
of
control
everything
you
know
and
that's
really
difficult
when
you're
it's
it's
easier
to
do
that
when
you're
writing
a
book
versus
writing
a
play.
A
Get
to
give
them
space
both
within
their
craft,
but
also
on
stage.
A
B
I
I've
incorporated,
as
a
teacher,
I'm
currently
a
full-time
teacher
at
university
school
in
shadyside,
and
I
incorporate
a
lot
of
writing
into
my
lessons
and
the
students
do
more
writing
in
my
classes,
whether
it's
you
know
world
history
or
psychology,
whether
they're,
freshmen
or
seniors.
They
write
a
lot.
I
think
that's
a
skill
that
everyone
should
have,
regardless
of
what
they're
going
to
do
professionally.
B
B
The
judges
they're
the
last
that
want
to
read
it,
but
the
it
did
help
me.
It
helped
me
more
for
the
second
book.
It
helped
me
more
for
the
second
book.
The
follow-up
hartley
law
actually
follows
a
different
character
and
it
goes
on
a
very
legal
path,
so
I
was
able
to
pull
on
that
background.
A
little
bit.
A
That's
it's
interesting!
Maybe
for
for
listeners
we
start
off
if
you
can
give
a
little
bit
of
a
synopsis
of
of
heartly,
god,
okay
and
then
maybe
later
on.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
hartley
law,
but
for
listeners
you
know
what
what
what
what
is
hartley
god?
What
is
the
basic
premise
there,
partly.
B
God,
the
premier,
the
premise
of
the
story,
is,
can
you
or
can
anybody
believe
in
miracles?
If
science
is
unable
to
prove
that
something
happened?
Okay
and
that's
that's
the
deeper
question
and
can
you
believe
in
miracles
and
that's
not
I.
I
always
felt
that
that's
not
really
a
necessarily
a
religious
question.
It's
just
more
of
a
bigger
spiritual
question.
You
know:
is
there
some
greater
power
out
there,
whatever
he
or
she
might
be?
Could
you
believe
in
that?
B
If
science
can't
prove
something
or
have
we
all
just
really
gotten
too
miserable
and
too
cynical,
you
know.
So
that's
basically
the
premise
in
the
in
the
the
premise
of
the
the
story:
what
happens?
There's
a
church
which
happens
to
be
located
in
the
strip
district.
It's
it's.
The
story
is
told
through
the
confines
of
a
catholic
church.
So
it's
that's
the
vehicle
that
gets
it
there
right.
B
So,
in
this
catholic
church
there
is
a
priest
who
is
rather
liberal
and
some
of
the
more
staunch
traditional
catholics.
Don't
really
like
what
he
has
to
say.
A
splinter
group
kind
of
forms
people
get
a
little
bit
radical
and
there's
a
shooting.
B
The
priest
is
a
target
of
an
assassination
inside
the
church
and
for
whatever
reason,
the
the
assassination
fails
and
as
it's
described
in
the
book,
the
bullets
literally
fall
to
the
ground,
and
you
know
it's
I
like
to
think
the
investigation
is
somewhat
reasonable
to
what
would
happen.
You
know,
there's
a
forensic
team,
there's
police
officers
there's
whole
everything
and
no
matter
what
happens,
nobody
can
explain
why
this
assassination
was
unsuccessful.
B
B
A
Of
the
individuals,
but
also
how
you
were
able
to
use
the
city
as
a
character
in
many
cases,
yes,.
A
You
mentioned
you
mentioned
the
strip
district,
and
you
mentioned
bloomfield
a
little
bit
talk
about
how
that
both
happens
from
the
writing.
Standpoint
like
how
you
as
a
writer,
are
developing
that,
but
also
in
the
sense
that
how
the
city
is
a
point
of
inspiration.
B
Yeah,
okay,
yeah,
both
all
right.
So,
first
of
all,
my
my
own
unique
style
of
writing-
and
I've
been
told
this
is
unique
because
apparently
I
go
in
reverse.
Okay,
but,
what's
more
important
to
me
are
characters
I
like
to
really
fully
develop
a
character
and
have
a
character
first
and
then
kind
of
fit
the
story
around
the
character.
B
A
lot
of
people
start
with
a
storyline
and
put
characters
into
it.
I
I
just
always
like
characters.
I
like
settings.
I
like
scenes.
I
like
characters,
because
I
think
they're
more
memorable.
You
know
that's
just
my
style,
so
yeah
talking
about
the
city,
absolutely
it's
it's
another
character,
so
the
first
part,
I
would
say,
would
be
bloomfield
right
and
when
I
think
of
bloomfield,
the
first
thing
I
think
of
is
the
tradition.
You
know
the
third
fourth
generation
residents
that
are
living
there.
B
It's
pittsburgh's
little
italy
halloween
parade
all
of
that
all
that's
great
stuff,
but
at
the
same
time
it's
also
a
great
place.
If
you're
a
musician,
you
know
struggling
to
to
make
it
an
act
or
something
it's.
It's
just
got
this
very
gritty
working
class
vibe.
You
know
so
I've
always
really
liked
that
now
my
character
in
hartley,
god
finds
himself
in
bloomfield.
B
Right
right,
nobody
can
be
blamed
for
that
absolutely
so
he
he
went
through
a
series
of
really
life-changing
events
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
and
none
of
them
were
good.
So
he
comes
back
to
pittsburgh,
relocates
in
bloomfield
and
he's
basically
there
to
recover
all
right.
Well,
if
you
got
a
character
who's
in
bloomfield
who's
looking
to
recover
what
should
his
name
be?
B
Nico,
nico's
recovery
room-
I
might
have
been
there
once
or
twice
I
don't
know:
okay,
but
yeah.
That's
kind
of
like
a
little
inside
the
the
book
is
full
of
inside
references
like
that
that
you
know
there's
only
a
handful
of
people
that
are
going
to
kind
of
get
and
that
kind
of
makes
me
smile.
You
know
I
put
in
a
line
that
I
know
only
three
people
are
going
to
understand,
but
they're
going
to
love
it.
You
know
something
like
nico
in
bloomfield
recovering.
B
I
think
that
should
translate
a
little
bit
more
to
the
wider
pittsburgh
audience,
probably
not
outside
of
pittsburgh,
but
at
least
here
you
know,
that's
why
I
named
anika.
You
know
simple,
as
that
I
don't
know
if
that's
original
or
or
clever,
I
don't
know,
but
I
mean
that
is
that's
where
that's
where
that
character
started
right,
then
then
the
strip
district
is
also
important.
B
That
was
the
only
thing
there,
or
at
least
that
was
the
only
place
that
I
would
go
and
to
me
it
seemed
like
a
truck
stop
because
there
were
all
these
trucks
outside
parked
in
the
produce
yards.
You
know
and
the
truckers
were
in
there
eating
and
that
to
me
was
primanti
brothers
and
then,
as
I
got
older
and
became
of
age,
the
strip
district
turned
into
lots
of
nightclubs
and
bars.
B
You
know,
and
now
you
know
30
years
later-
there's
you
know
very
expensive,
condominiums
and
office
buildings
and
it's
a
wonderful
place
to
be
still.
It's
changed.
It's
devolved
it's
gotten
better,
but
in
many
ways
it's
also
stayed
the
same
they're
still
saint
stans,
they're,
still,
pen,
mac,
there's
still
the
harp
and
fiddle.
You
can
still
go
there
on
saturday
or
sunday
morning,
pretty
pandemic.
Obviously,
but
I
mean
you
could
still
go
there
and
just
walk
up
and
down
the
sidewalk
and
enjoy
great
coffee.
A
Why
do
you
think
that
is
like
just
just
a
pig
pin
in
on
that
for
a
quick?
Second,
like
you
know,
the
arc
of
history
of
this
strip
district
is
something
that,
as
you
mentioned,
is
very
fascinating,
but
why
does
it
still
have
that
that
feel
to
it
like
even
admits
that
that
evolution
and
change
as
you've
said
it
still
is
just
this
great
place?
That
is,
you
know,
quintessential
and
quintessential
pittsburgh,
but
also
always
a
place
where
memories
are
being
made.
B
I
just
think
it
started
out
that
way
it
just
it
started
that
way
and
it's
continued
because
if
you
go
back
to
before
me,
if
you
go
back
to
you
know
the
early
parts
of
the
strip
district,
it
was
a
shanny
town
right
and,
and
it
was
poor
and
it
was
impoverished
and
it
was
it
was
not
a
nice
place,
but
it
really
was
a
place
where
immigrants
that
had
absolutely
nothing
else
ended
up
getting
to
so
it
kind
of
is
a
starting
point,
or
at
least
a
place
of
hope
like
this
place,
might
be
not
real
good
right
now,
but
it's
better
than
where
we
came
from.
B
A
Water
taxis:
we
could
put
that
on
the
list
to
do
of
to-do's
right
right
and
you
kind
of
touch
on
that
in
in
the
story,
too,
I
mean
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
because
one
of
the
main
characters
you
know
his
his
heart
and
his
dna
is
in
the
strip.
A
B
One
of
the
one
of
the
main
characters-
there's
actually
two
there's
so
this
is
a
little
bit
of
this
is
a
little
bit
of
historical
fiction.
B
One
of
the
main
characters
was,
you
know
the
fiction
part
of
it
was
raised
by
a
priest
himself
and
it
was
based
on
the
real
life,
and
this
never
happened.
This
is
you
know.
This
is
the
fiction
part
of
it,
but
the
real
life
priest
was
named.
Father
cox
and
you
know,
obviously
a
legend
in
the
strip
district,
and
you
know
what
he
did
for
the
poor
and
the
hungry,
and
you
know
so.
I
incorporate
a
little
of
that
in
there.
B
A
Does
that
for
you
and
as
a
writer,
how
much
of
that
that
story
development
did
you
have
to
do
a
lot
of
research
or
is
this
kind
of
you
know
information?
That's
just
embedded
through
your
lived
experience.
B
I
had
to
do
some
research,
not
a
whole
lot.
I
mean
that's
kind
of
one
of
the
benefits
of
you
know
being
here.
Is
we
kind
of
learn
these
things
right
and
maybe
maybe
we
learn
them
in
school?
Maybe
we
learn
them
from
parents.
Maybe
we
learn
from
you
know
whoever
stush
you
know
right,
but
somebody's
teaching
us
about
what's
happened
there
and
and
of
course
the
history
centers
down
there
too.
So
I
mean
you
can't
help
but
know.
What's
going
on,
I
found
myself
doing
a
lot
more
research
for
the
second
book.
B
Know,
but
for
the
first
one.
A
Maybe
lead
into
that
a
little
bit
so
that
the
second
book
is
is
directly
connected.
This
is
they're,
not
it's
not
a
separate
book,
but
it's
a
a
bridge
off
of
the
first
story.
Right.
B
I
would
say
so:
yeah
the
the
the
and
others
have
commented
that
they
believe
that
it
stands
on
its
own.
Like
each
book
could
be
separate.
Okay,
I
personally
think
it
would
be
better
to
read
the
first
one
because
it
is
a
continuation.
B
You
could
read
the
second
one
without
reading
the
first
and
know
what's
going
on.
I
just
don't
think
you'd
appreciate
what
happened.
Okay,
so
basically
the
first
book
ends
with
another:
don't
ruin
it,
I'm
not
gonna
ruin
it.
There's
a
there's,
a
there's
another
shooting
in
the
strip
district
of
all
places,
there's
another
shooting
right
and
that's
how
that's
how
the
book
ends.
We
don't
really
know
what
happened.
Okay,
but
the
next
book
starts
with
a
person
being
arrested.
B
Partly
law-
yes,
yes
and
now
I'll
distinguish
him
real
real,
quick
here,
but
the
the
second
book
starts
with
a
person
being
arrested
and
that
book
follows
this
person
through
a
trial.
Okay,
so
the
the
first
book,
the
the
publisher,
always
like
to
call
it
a
spiritual,
mystery
right.
That
was
the
term
that
she
used
to
describe
this
book
and
okay.
So
if
that
one's
a
spiritual,
mystery,
then
the
second
one's,
a
legal
thriller.
A
B
Okay,
but
it
does
have
some
elements
of
the
first
part.
It
does
have
some
elements
of
this
doesn't
make
sense.
You
know
now
it's
like
this
doesn't
make
sense
legally,
whereas
the
first
book
was
like
this
doesn't
make
sense
scientifically
now.
The
second
one
is
like
this
doesn't
make
sense
legally,
what's
going
on
here,
so
there's
still
some
element
of
that.
It's
not
just
simply
based
on
a
trial.
It's
not
you
know
that
type
of
book,
but
that's
definitely
the
vehicle
that
gets
it
here
as
well.
A
Now,
for
the
is
it
a
similar
type
of,
did
you
have
to
go
through
a
similar
type
of
process,
in
terms
of
because
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
read
hartley
law
yet,
but
did
you
have
to
go
through
a
similar
type
of
process
and
also
same
thing?
Is
the
city
a
character
in
the
second
book.
B
City's
a
character
there's
more
about
the
city,
the
different
spots,
I
I
go
and
re
I
go
in
reverse
order,
so
in
hartley
god,
when
I'm
talking
about
the
strip,
I
just
kind
of
touch
on
what
it
used
to
be,
but
really
it's
focused
on
what
it
is
now
today
right
in
hartley
law.
I
go
back
to
the
strip,
but
I
go
way
back.
There
is
a.
B
There
is
a
flashback,
that's
significant
and
it
talks
about
the
strip
district
when
it
was
a
shanty
town,
there's
some
scenes
in
the
allegheny
county
courthouse
which
get
descriptive.
I
I
I
learned
from
the
first
book
because
I
had
this.
I
had
this
fear
when
I
was
writing
the
first
one
when
I
was
working
with
an
editor.
I
had
this
fear
that
I
didn't
want
to
be
labeled
like
a
homer.
You
know
what
I
mean
that
like
in
terms
of
like
writing.
B
A
So
I
focused
on
that.
You
know
that's
kind
of
interesting,
I
mean,
and
I
your
mentality,
I
think,
is
something
that
resonates
with
us
as
pittsburghers
like
we,
we
bring
our
hard
hat
and
our
lunch
bucket.
You
know
lunch
pail
to
work,
and
then
we
go
at
it.
It's
a
a,
not
a
boastful
place
correct
and
you
know
so
we
kind
of
demure
in
some
cases
does.
A
That
is
that
one
of
the
differences
in
the
creative
scene
here
versus
say
like
a
a
detroit
or
you
know,
dare
I
say,
even
cleveland
that
have
had
kind
of
some
we've
had
our
successes,
no
doubt
about
it
right
right
in
the
in
the
creative
spaces.
I
don't
want
to
underscore
that,
but
the
idea
that
there
is
a
pittsburgh
brand,
you
know
like
a
detroit
rock
city
or
in
those
cases.
What's
your
thoughts
on
that?
I
think
there's.
B
Definitely
a
pittsburgh
brand.
I
just
think
that
it's
yet
to
find
the
level
of
success
that
seattle
found
with
grunge
music
right
or
that
new
york
city
found
with
both
punk
and
the
the
origins
of
of
of
rap
and
hip-hop
right,
all
totally
influenced
by
I
mean
when
you
think
of
punk
music.
Is
there
anything
more
new
york
than
the
ramones
right
right?
You
know
what
I
mean
and,
and
that
definitely
their
music,
their
sound
was
influenced
by
the
city.
A
B
That's
the
that's.
The
thing
like
whatever
your
job
in
life
is
like
do
that.
So
I
think
if
you
grew
up
here,
you
definitely
have
that
influence.
I
just
think
that
it's
just
hopefully
some
of
the
talent-
that's
here,
musically
or
creatively
in
other
ways,
is
more
discovered
and
gets
more
of
a
national
reputation
like
a
seattle
or
right.
A
Are
are
you
looking
at
that
too?
I
guess.
As
a
as
you
know,
a
published
author
now,
in
terms
of
you
know
either
latching
on
to
the
the
pittsburgh
diaspora
and
how
we
have
you
know,
pittsburghers,
you
know
all
around
the
country
or
or
in
terms
of
like
sharing
a
great
work
like
this
with
a
larger
audience
like
what
does
that
look
like.
B
B
B
So
my
opinion
of
the
second
one
is
much
better
and
it's
just
it's
impossible
right
now
to
do
anything
really
in
terms
of
legitimate
marketing
even
locally,
let
alone
nationally,
because
you
know
the
indie
writers
in
in
pittsburgh
have
one
thing
that
pittsburgh
has
had
before
the
pandemic:
vibrant
indie,
author
scene,
vibe,
bookstores,
the
the
indie
bookstores,
are
so
helpful
and
so
knowledgeable
and
and
such
a
great
place
to
be.
B
But
you
have
to
be
there,
you
have
to
have
book
signings,
you
have
to
meet
people,
you
have
to
sign
their
book
and
talk
to
them
and
like
we're
doing
now,
and
pittsburgh
is
a
great
place
for
that.
You
really
have
to
start
somewhere
and
grow
out.
Well,
what
do
you
do
when
you
can't
even
start
at
the
beginning
right?
Because
all
the
stores
are
closed
and
there
are
people
doing
virtual
book
launches,
but
that's
just
not
the
same
well.
A
Yeah
and
that's
kind
of
like
the
thing,
particularly
with
a
local
book
right
or
is
you
need
to
build
the
the
network
and-
and
it's
just
you
know
the
same
way.
How
we
found
kind
of
your
work
is
like
word
of
mouth
right.
A
Growth
yeah
and
how
and
how
that
gets
shared
you
know
it
is.
It
is
one
of
the
challenges
that
we're
in
in
terms
of
that,
but
also
you
know
the
correlation.
This
is
just
personally
and
it
kind
of
leads
into
kind
of
one
of
the
just
looking
managing
our
time
here.
A
B
A
But
more
written
long-form
material,
I
should
say
you
know
so
whether
whether
it's
books
or
kind
of
you
know
long
magazine
articles,
certainly
everybody's,
you
know
scrolling
through
their
phone
and
and
that
nature,
probably
too
much,
but
the
ability
to
actually
sit
and
kind
of
read
a
book
I
think,
has
been
one
of
the
things
that,
for
better
or
worse,
has
been
kind
of
a
hallmark.
I
think
of
the
bench.
I.
B
A
Right
so
so
one
of
the
things
that
we
always
ask
our
guests
here
on
the
grant
street
experience
is
a
little
section.
We
call
reading,
listening
and
watching
and
so
and
that's
actually
kind
of
what
prompted
this
this
whole
this
whole
section
in
terms
of
inviting
local
authors.
So
for
you
will
three:
what
are
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
you
are
reading
listening
and
watching
right
now,.
B
Reading
I'm
reading
two
things
right
now:
I'm
reading
a
book
called
playing
through
the
whistle,
which
I
highly
highly
recommend
it's
a
story
about
the
j
l
mill
in
this,
the
town
of
aliquippa
and
how
basically
the
town
of
aliquippa
grew
up
around
the
mill
and
how
it
started
its.
You
know
upward
progress
and
how,
due
to
culture
and
environment,
how
it
declined.
B
There's
a
lot
of
great
lessons
and
of
course
they
look
at
that
also
through
the
eyes
of
the
great
football
players
that
have
come
from
that
area.
You
know
I'm
going
to
be
using
parts
of
that
in
my
sociology
class,
because
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
demonstration
of
a
lot
of
sociological
aspects,
but
it's
also
local,
which
makes
it
better,
but
I'm
also
reading
the
beastie
boys
book
right
now
as
well,
which
I
thought
to
be
honest
with
you.
B
I
just
kind
of
thought:
it's
just
gonna
be
like
you
know
just,
but
it's
actually
a
really
good.
It's
it's!
It's
it's
not
as
heavy
as
playing
through
the
whistle,
but
it's
it's
well
written
and
there's
some
good
there's
some
good
stuff
in
there
too.
So
that's
what
I'm
reading
legit.
A
Just
to
hold
on
for
that
for
a
quick
second,
so
the
j
and
l
story
we're
playing
through
the
whistle
is
it
is
that
similar
in
times
of
your
genre
of,
like
you
know,
an
integrative
creative
fiction
type
of
work,
or
is
it
more
into
like
the
the
details
kind
of
a
fictional
or
excuse
me,
non-fiction
work.
B
I
would,
I
would
say
it's
more,
not
it's
more
non-fiction,
okay,
it's
more
non-fiction
and
it's
it's
about
three
times
as
thick
as
mine.
Okay,
so
it's
not
going
to
be
as
quick
as
quick,
a
read,
but
it's
it's
well,
it's
well
worth
it.
I've
recommended
it
to
several
people,
especially
if
you
have
any
ties
to
the
aliquippa
area
or
if
you
had
a
you,
know,
family
member,
that
worked
at
jnl
at
one
point
you
know
it's
pretty
good.
It's
a
pretty
good
book
that.
B
A
And
then,
and
then
the
beastie
boys
story,
this
recently
came
out
right,
yeah.
B
Yeah,
it
recently
came
out.
This
does
the
surviving
members
at
rock
and
mike
d
wrote
it.
You
know,
mca
has
passed
away
and
I
think
that
was
kind
of
like
the
origin
of
why
they
wrote
this
book.
It's
just
like
kind
of
you
know
reflecting
on
all
these
stories.
B
No,
no,
it's
also
very
long
too,
but
it's
great
it's
good,
because
it's
it's
it's
there.
You
know
a
chapter
might
be
you
know.
A
particular
story
would
be
one
chapter
and
it
might
be
five
pages
right,
so
you
can
pick
it
up
and
read
a
few
of
the
stories
and
put
it
down,
and
you
know
every
time
you
start
it
you're
kind
of
starting
from
the
beginning.
A
I
had
heard
something
I
forget
where
I
picked
this
up,
I
want
to
say
it
was
one
of
malcolm
gladwell's
podcasts,
with
rick
rubin
that-
and
this
blew
me
away-
that
beastie
boys
and
madonna
were
on
the
same
tour
like
yeah.
B
A
B
A
The
two
because
he
was
booking
both
of
them
in
different
clubs
in
new
york
city
at
that
time
and
then
helped
kind
of
lead,
lead
the
bill
putting
it
together.
B
B
Antoine
stanley-
I
just
got
turned
on
to
he's-
I
don't
think
he's
new
he's
newer,
but
I've
just
got
turned
on
to
him
soul.
Singer
he's
really
talented.
I
really
really
enjoy
him
a
lot,
but
what
I
found-
and
this
is
kind
of
this-
is
interesting
here-
I've
noticed
that
I've
been
listening
to
more
consistently
early
90s
hip-hop.
A
B
And
I
just
find
myself
listening
to
it
more
and
more
and
I
don't
think
it's
out
of
any
kind
of
nostalgia,
but
really
what
I
think
it
is
is
you
know
all
of
the
stress
all
of
this
anxiety
from
from
kovid
right
from
from
the
election
from
the
civil
unrest
and
all
this
stuff.
You
know
and
then
right
you
go
into
school
and
you
teach
these
kids
and
these
kids
are
all
nervous.
You
know,
and
even
if
you're
not
prone
to
anxiety,
that
starts
coming
back.
A
B
So
I'm
listening
to
early
90s
hip-hop.
I
think
that
I've
just
kind
of
decided
that
that's
my
comfort
tunes
you
know.
Some
people
have
comfort
food
that
they
go
to
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
comfort
tunes.
B
You
know,
so
I'm
listening
to
a
lot
of
that
and
and
the
pokes
which
again
I
guess
I
would
put
them
in
the
comfort
comfort
but
there's
johnny,
johnny
depp
is
making
a
movie
or
has
made
a
movie
that's
soon
to
be
released
on
shane
mcgowan
in
the
pokes
and
it's
done
by
johnny
depp.
So
I
keep
reading
little
snippets
here
and
there
about
it,
and
that's
just
kind
of
sparked
me
to
go
back
and
revisit
my
pogues
collection.
A
That's
that's
a
pretty
good
move.
The
the
90s
hip-hop
is
this
like,
like
tribe,
called
quest
or
exactly
yeah,
that.
B
A
It
is
a
good
point
I
mean
it
is.
It
is
kind
of
timely,
timely
and
kind
of
you
know
when
you're
searching
soul-searching,
it's
exactly
the
type
of
music
that
that
speaks
to
the
times
right.
B
And
at
that,
and
at
that
time,
in
my
life,
when
that
was
out
it
was,
I
would
think
I
was
in
a
really
really
good
place
right,
you're
still
close
to
your
parents,
but
you're
ready
to
be
an
adult,
but
you're
still,
you
know,
you've
got
people
around
you
and
it's
just.
It
was
an
enjoyable
time.
You
know
enjoyable,
music,
a
lot
of
good
memories
from
that
time,
so.
A
That
is
one
of
the
things
that
you
know
you
have
to
be
removed
from
it.
I
think
to
appreciate
it
but
like
when
you,
when
you
do
kind
of
look
back
in
the
rearview,
mirror
a
bit
and
you're
like
yeah,
that
that
stuff
was
pretty
deep.
It
was
good
yeah.
A
A
A
Thank
you

listening
to
the
grant
street
experience
we
want

Thank
