Triforce!

I don't think I've ever laughed as much when listening to lewis' personal trainer story for the first time.

[@mikehitchcock5753]

Do you remember which episode it was..? 🤔

[@Watam8o]

I work as a personal trainer and everyday i live in fear of seeing lewis walk through the gym doors.

[@greennin]

Lewis is completely right: young people would often love to farm, grow their own stuff, be self sustaining and so forth, but often simply don't have even a small garden space. It's a great balance to having a ton of screen time.

[@tylermech66]

I've got the space, but I'm too terrified of bugs and weak to heat to do so, but I do like the idea of growing my own herbs. I suppose I could try on cooler days, plant some seeds and lazily check up on them every now and then. It'd probably be 50/50 on whether or not my herbs would ever grow properly, but I'd likely get something out of it.

[@greennin]

@@tylermech66 I have been terrified of bugs my whole life. Literally frozen by the thought of them, can't google them at all, close to getting a heart attack etc. But I'm doing okay with them now, simply because I see them as one of us, just another living being trying to get by in whatever way they can. Cause we're all related on this planet. Every life form. My fear was misplaced. This helped me. I don't mean this to sound like some hippy babble, kill the little fuckers if necessary.

[@tylermech66]

@@greennin kek. Not actually fear, just pure disgust. Can't even swat the fuckers without some kind of barrier.

Don't buy Bob Ross merchandise, none of the money goes to the Ross family. Bob Ross got screwed by his business partners and now the Ross family doesn't even own any bit of the company.

[@Sedna7]

Correct, Steve Ross had to give all rights up to the "company" just for the right to paint as "Steve Ross".

Hey as a electrician I can explain the finger magnets, when a conductor has electricity running through it, it creates a magnetic field, the wires in your home that connect all your outlets all have relatively weak magnetic fields. The idea behind a magnetic finger implant, is that you can tell if something you're about to access is live by touching the tip of your finger to insulated part of that network such as the jacket around the wires, this prevents you from shocking yourself or potentially electrocuting yourself. At least here in the States it's kind of seen as a unnecessary thing, there are testers made to do essentially the same thing that don't cost very much, however back in the day when those testers weren't developed or were very expensive, It was worth it to get a magnet jammed in your finger instead.

[@theeutecticpoint]

36:47- You do realize that means that you need to do a greenhouse tour now, right? GREENHOUSE TOUR, YEAH!!

[@j-mc2144]

35:04 I've been looking for the section where they talk about lewis' book again for a bit

[@kcperformance1075]

I love how Pyrion is afraid of turning into Arnold from working out as if that’s how it works.

[@TheCrosx731]

So I just saw Lewis’s doppelgänger on a Netflix show called Dark Tourist. Episode 2 Japan, the guys in the parking lot of suicide forest that the host runs into. I swear it’s Lewis with a mustache!!

[@Noobazzah]

Bob Ross' son literally would have been sued by the company if he had tried to do any Bob Ross -related art or painting thing.

[@Sem5626]

yeah was gonna say this... it's not that he doesn't want to, some cunts stole the rights to all the things so he can't

[@gabrielvalencia7647]

I liked this episode, very chill but still interesting. Cheers!

[@raiz3375]

as a 21 year old that just got a gardening job I loved this episode! I couldn't stand retail and wanted to work outdoors!

[@Dimo-lt4tw]

As a musician who has been performing independently for over 20 years, it's refreshing to hear Flax's take. It's not ordinary to hear such a nuanced outlook coming from someone "outside the music industry" People don't generally realize the difficulties of surviving as a band. Unless you are one of about two or three dozen musical acts, every show you put on operates at a loss. Never mind the costs associated with producing CD's and merchandise that you can only hope to sell. And touring is a whole other nightmare in itself...

[@MNewton]

I always think about music that doesn't lend itself to live performance. For instance, I saw Juno Reactor a million years ago and Ben (the only person in the 'band') had hired tribal dancers from somewhere (their front man spoke barely enough English to thank the crowd at the end) to do their thing to his music and I always think about if they hadn't been there it would have just been some shlubby looking dude grooving and occasionally pushing buttons or swapping patch cords. It was a cool experience but I doubt every electronic musician can find a way to make a live performance viable.

[@Yasha277]

I can't stress out watching a really good artist, because even if they do something really off or weird I will end up just thinking "Eh they know what they're doing I'm sure it will all come together in the end" and for Bob Ross especially, that was definitely true. I'd be like "What...?" and then mind blown, it actually worked perfect. So if anything I just end up feeling more relaxed because I feel confident that this person will make everything okay.

[@jamathy9953]

"I've been here since Jingle Jam"

[@Ahkmedren]

They glossed over Flax's "Neo Do-me-one" joke so hard omg it got me so hard

[@jabso]

Bands in niche genres only make money from touring and merch sales, even if they're very small venues. They don't make much money but they make even less from album sales in the Spotify error.

[@donaban500]

I waited for Lewis story to ad a condom and handwritten note next to the spiders. Just thinking about that, some of the stories Lewis tells have a similar odd nature Karls do. Not coming from the same mindpalace but somehow similiar. Maybe it is just me. Hope anyone even gets the reference.

[@johno14]

karl pilkington and this is all i listen to

[@knitterknerd]

I think you're right about losing something with convenience, but it's that convenience that lets the harder way be enjoyable. Sure, I enjoy knitting, but if I had to knit all my clothes, it would be busy and stressful. And gardening is nice, but what if you had to grow everything that you eat, and make all your clothes, and build your own house and furniture... I don't think there would be time to really enjoy all these things without some conveniences to take off the pressure. Even now, a lot of people have to work too much to have time for hobbies like gardening at all.

[@phoenixsoren]

Weirdly, this was just long enough for me to listen to while doing all my daily stuff in Animal Crossing.

[@SOENJAY]

So P Flax, What you're saying is "it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll."

[@ShortName098]

Here I go again, on my own!

[@piratewhoisquiet]

That thumbnail game is on POINT

[@PhonicWheel51]

twitch idea, flax attempts to paint and sips, maybe lewis too. Are on the sides just commenting like some kinda sports announcer

[@maxinecantspeak]

Whenever a conversation about unknown bands that've been around for a good while comes up I feel obligated to bring up "An Endless Sporadic", some of you may remember their song "Impulse" from guitar hero 3. Look em up.

[@tylermech66]

when Pyrion mentioned a robot band, I got so hyped for them to talk about Steam Powered Giraffe. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined when it was just some real robots.

[@netwt42oz]

Cody's lab! Cody is a brilliant madman and I won't hear a bad word about him.

[@alexlawson4173]

lewis badmouthed him a while ago (maybe about 2 years ago) on this very podcast. I was shocked. something to the effect of "he looks like he has no clue what he's doing"

[@yosemitelive]

Is no one gonna mention the fact the sips has made a mini fit factory in his backyard?

[@kopetain]

i need to know names! is it semyon?

[@livid_spider]

I don’t think Lewis’s personal trainer stuff was bad, if I was someone’s personal trainer and they said that I’d probably find it funny. I think his trainer found it funny to because if I remember correctly the guy wanted to be Lewis’s friend

[@ChromaticTempest]

So, I personally know two bands that make solid money from doing shows exclusively. They are cover bands and they do a great job. Both pull the ladies that want to rock out and dance, and they pull the fellas that want to offer up the drinks to the ladies. The bar makes bank, the bands make bank. It's win-win. That's how a touring act makes money. They must attract. One band even makes good money on merch. I also know several other bands that do not make money from shows and do it for the passion. Their music is unknown and very genre heavy, like black metal. Basically, if a group wants to thrive, they got to get the women out on the floor, is how I see it.

[@MayuFuji]

Sips be playing a management game irl with his greenhouse :)

[@lin90210]

P Flax is right! Justin Timberlake said he made a loss for his tours when he first became a solo artist. There wasn't any money to be made because it's such a grand thing. Expenditure was way bigger than income from the tickets sold :(

[@GhazPlays]

All 31 seasons of Bob Ross are available on KZbin, for anyone interested.

[@Fazquel]

This podcast never gets old

[@c5on]

Yeah growing your own chili is quite nice.

[@CriticoolHit]

Sips talking about gardening is how I feel spending hours in my weed tents. It's extremely cathartic. Without it I'd be fighting the revolution or some shit like that.

[@Poldovico]

What will happen if you need to have a MRI and you have a magnet surgically implanted in your finger?

[@Commandos12]

talking about bob ross reminds me of art attacks lol

[@Kerbsurfer]

Sips sounds like a vegan Prius owner these days. Getting a greenhouse and a composte bin is not the height of self-sufficiency.

[@RCGamex]

So what happens when they need to have an MRI done?

[@MimTheDwarf]

I need to know those names !

[@rreeeekk]

I assumed this episode would be about Warhammer again based on the title

[@TheStarchamber]

As a guitarist, I can say that having a magnet in my finger would be really cool and also really fucking annoying as shit.

Guesses on the names?

[@Blitzkrieger17]

[@Yasha277]

Your friend got a magnet put in his finger? Well he better never get an MRI. Or better yet, do get an MRI and then feel like an idiot.

[@espen325]

Bob Ross son got sued and was not allowed to use the name Ross with anything, until this year I think. It seems Bob sold all his rights before death to the Bob Ross company, and all Bob Ross merchandise goes to that company and not to Ross family

[@Yooobrother10]

If anyone is making money from tours/stage appearances, it’s rappers, top rappers these days are charging 100k plus appearance fee per show it’s insane

Lewis deserves to be chewed out again for the personal trainer thing and I hope it continues on a regular basis.

I'm not sure if this is correct or even true but I think I remember drake and future making 87 mill on a tour they did

[@lladerat]

wtf? is that what people really do now, inject fucking magnets into their fingers? Do they realise it will fuck up their gadgets lol?

[@jimi159]

Hate to disagree flax, but the majority of small musicians depend on touring as their main source of income, I know this firsthand. I would argue more so than the larger bands who have plenty of income coming through merch and album sales. Hence why so many have had to pick up a second job during the pandemic, the albums/stream sales are still there but the touring is the main source of income for the majority of small artists. I don’t really think this is something you can google the answer for - the music scene is so segmented and the difference between artists is so vast that it’s hard to compare one experience to another. The vast vast majority of musicians aren’t going to sell out Wembley, but the few hundred pounds they make at the local venue can be the difference between food on the table or not.

[@jimi159]

Particularly DJs and music producers - with most dance music scenes the merch and album sales are minimal, and the artists rely on touring or other routes like selling sample packs/mastering tracks etc.

[@HobbeForApples]

Bands have to tour to make money, they don't make money from record sales. The artist gets a fee from the venue and the venue is liable for selling tickets. Utterly inaccurate Flax.

[@thecanadianguy1662]

Let me just ask, what kind of title is this, i know this is the Triforce podcast but jeez

[@Oldnoname]

Pyrion continuing to be stupid about touring. Small bands never made money on albums cause they didn't sell albums. If they did it was on tour. They make money on merch sales and ticket sales. Always has been that way. And the only reason these studios are getting fucked by spotify now is cause they weren't proactive in making a counter to Napster.

[@a.garcha199]

Their perception of physical fitness and gym is so nerdy, it's everyone fit is either a roid raging gym bro or gaunt? Have you never seen someone physically fit? Most muscular people look much healthier than a chubby dad body with zero muscularity. Those who work out alot but have those thinner, tigher muscles are working for endurance muscles most likely for a sport and are some of the most physically fit people on the planet. Just seems like quite a bitter perception "I don't want those crazy fit bodies," as if you can accidentally just atain that... I think pyrion might realise how hard that is a few weeks in.

[@JamieAubrey]

I hope the new guys don't listen to this podcast

[@markhackett2302]

Pyrian, did you also think that those documentaries about the healing power of crystals, or ghost hauntings were also true and accurate? YOU ARE STILL WRONG. Part of why so many of those who lost money lost it because the label got to tell them what they had to do and what they needed to spend on, and all of it went to companies owned by the label's parent company.

[@Jash0192]
