Speaker 0 (0s): Yeah, it's up everybody. We've got something special plan right now. We got the one and only Adam Lopez coming on. Pretty excited. I, I haven't seen this cat for a while and he's doing big things, you know, he's doing real big things. So the first time bringing anybody on, so try to set it up the split screen, have a nice interview and a conversation for everybody to check out. 

Yeah, there he is. Mr. Adam Lopez. What's up, man. You know what man? We were to everybody. That's there's only a few people here right now. I don't mean, I know that it may take awhile for some people to filter in. Right. But for anybody that's just showing up. Now I just briefly talked to Adam and we talked a little bit. I don't want to go too deep. Cause I wanted everybody to get, to see kind of a, how we started, where we started at. And we'll start, we'll talk a little bit about how I know Adam and our friendship, but at the same time, I have so many questions for you. 

So I'll just start off with Adam and I have known each other for how many years Adam, have we known each other? 

Speaker 1 (1m 17s): Oh man. Since we were six or seven years old. So almost 40 years. Oh man. It's weird to say, but yeah, almost 40 years, like darn close thirties. 37, 38 years. 

Speaker 0 (1m 31s): Yup. So we played baseball together. We escaped together. We went to Lincoln and then Rancho. 

Speaker 1 (1m 39s): Yeah, dude. I'm at the skate park right now. I just got done skating. 

Speaker 0 (1m 43s): So awesome. I was totally gonna ask. I was like, yo God, we used to skateboard together. So that is awesome to me. I don't mind. I want to just start off by asking you this. And as we move through our lives, people's lives, change their passions change. However you are. One of the only people I know that has apparently continued to skateboard like me, but also you've really worked on your craft as far as being a musician and you stuck with it and you've had some big gains. 

So how, how, how does that journey changed for you? Like how did it go from the beginning to where you are now? 

Speaker 1 (2m 24s): Man? That's a, that's a interesting question. I'm not even sure. I know the answer like you talking about like all the changes that people go through and stuff, and I've gone through a lot of change, but I'm doing the same exact things that bring me enjoyment as now at 44 that I was doing when I was five years old. Like basically it seems like everything I learned about what I liked. I learned by the time I was five and then I just kept doing them. 

I just found, I guess I found a way to, you know, to get paid, to do it so that I could keep doing it. And that, that was the goal. 

Speaker 0 (3m 3s): You know what, that might be the best definition of success I've ever heard. 

Speaker 1 (3m 8s): Yeah. You know, and it's, that's, that's where I'm at now is learning to, to appreciate and recognize what I didn't recognize for a long time. Like I, I thought I was m
