WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.520 Adam, what's going on? Hey, how's it going? I'm doing good, how are you doing? 00:00:03.520 --> 00:00:08.240 Doing pretty good, I'm doing pretty good. That's awesome. So you're a new face to a lot of the LTT viewers. 00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:12.240 What do you do here? I'm a writer for working on LTT. 00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:17.080 Specifically, I don't have a niche just yet. Like, you know, like, Plouffe is the display guy now 00:00:17.080 --> 00:00:20.560 and the keyboard guy. Anthony does GPUs and stuff like that. 00:00:20.560 --> 00:00:26.520 I've been kind of dipping my toes in a lot of different things. Like, I've done videos about app. 00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:30.440 Like, I worked, helped with some videos on the Mac pros. 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:35.400 I did a video about Apple computer gaming on Apple computers. I've done videos about Chromebooks. 00:00:35.400 --> 00:00:38.680 I guess my biggest interests are just kind of like, I like weird stuff. 00:00:38.680 --> 00:00:41.840 I like the whole like, why does this exist or very niche stuff, 00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:44.960 which can be a problem. If it's too niche, it can be hard to get views 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:51.480 unless it's like a really outrageous looking thing. So I guess what types of videos get you the most excited outside of that? 00:00:51.560 --> 00:00:57.680 I'm always really excited to do stuff that's new. 00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.920 I think it's cool. It's like, it's great when there's like a new technology that's like, 00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:06.880 or when people are like, this is taking a technology. So like, look at like IPS and how that technology has grown and matured. 00:01:06.880 --> 00:01:10.440 And now we see like IPS displays that are running at like ridiculous refresh rates. 00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:16.120 But I think it's way more exciting to be looking at like tech that's like stuff like mini LED or micro LED 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:20.560 where it's like really on the cutting edge and it's like barely even a practical thing. 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:29.040 I love kind of like future tech. And I also love like tech that's designed for like really one specific person in mind 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:32.320 and that goal of trying to make this one person really happy. 00:01:32.320 --> 00:01:35.680 So stuff like the X screen where it was like that, 00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:39.320 the screen that you could attach to the back of your Xbox. I thought that was amazing. 00:01:39.320 --> 00:01:43.880 But like, it only made sense for like the like 12 people. 00:01:43.880 --> 00:01:49.160 People were like, oh yeah, people in the Navy would really like that. And I'm like, yeah, this is for the people in the Navy. 00:01:49.160 --> 00:01:54.840 I don't know how many people are in the Navy, but like it's not nearly as big of a market segment as you know, 00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.640 Apple's targeting, but yeah. On that same note, what thing in tech are you most excited about in the future? 00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:05.800 In the future, what am I most excited about? I think, OK, for me, I come from a background with neuroscience. 00:02:07.200 --> 00:02:11.800 And so the BCI tech, so brain computer interfaces, 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:19.800 has always been really exciting for me. I think that it's not only is it a very exciting avenue 00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.360 for accessibility research, like making sure that people have ways 00:02:24.360 --> 00:02:27.520 that they can, you know, communicate with the outside world, like solving 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:31.480 problems like people with locked in syndrome, which is where you are fully 00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:34.920 conscious, but you have no control of your body even to the point where sometimes 00:02:34.920 --> 00:02:41.720 you can't even like blink. Right. Like so you have zero ability to communicate things like 00:02:41.960 --> 00:02:45.000 so brain computer interfaces can allow you to actually like communicate 00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:47.000 with the outside world. 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:53.040 Yeah, like I find that super exciting. And I also think that like in the grand scheme of things, the prospect 00:02:53.040 --> 00:03:00.440 of like transhumanism, which is the idea of eventually we're going to become 00:03:00.440 --> 00:03:05.120 something more than just human through cybernetic augmentations, 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:08.720 which is like so fricking far in the future. 00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:13.320 I doubt it'll even happen in our lifetimes. But I think that's like that's kind of the coolest thing is the idea. 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:18.000 It's also like the scariest thing. It's very much a black mirror kind of episode where it's like, you know, 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:23.240 you could be connected to the internet through your brain. And then the other idea is that, oh, God, you could be connected 00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:27.680 through the internet through your brain. So that's what really excites me is stuff like 00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:33.760 neurological advancements and stuff like that. Right. Always fascinating. So question for you, if you had the chance to put a chip in your brain 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:38.520 that could act as a computer and connect your brain to the internet, would you do it? 00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:45.800 I don't know if I would do it if it was connected to the broader internet. Like, I don't think I would do it, at least in this lifetime. 00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:49.720 The issue, I guess, is ideas of security. 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.920 I mean, you could argue that, like, you know, Google already has such a, 00:03:53.240 --> 00:03:56.680 like Google and other big data companies have such a grasp on, 00:03:56.680 --> 00:04:01.760 like, our actual thoughts already that, like, why even care? 00:04:01.760 --> 00:04:05.480 But that's kind of defeatist. And I think that people should be working to ensure that they have 00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:08.360 privacy and control over their data, because 00:04:10.040 --> 00:04:15.400 despite the fact that your data isn't you, it expressly comes from you 00:04:15.440 --> 00:04:19.400 and is a representation of the patterns of behaviors and the actions 00:04:20.520 --> 00:04:26.600 that you do, which basically make up who you are. And it's weird to be able to just give that kind of level of identity over 00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:33.320 to other companies to, like, you know, companies who could be nefarious or otherwise. 00:04:33.320 --> 00:04:38.120 I would be down to try putting a chip in my brain if it was a minimally invasive 00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:41.720 surgery with a very high level of success. 00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:47.240 I don't think I would connect to the broader internet, but it would be cool if it was, like, you know, could connect to devices, 00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:51.560 could do stuff like typing out thoughts or creating imagery. 00:04:52.200 --> 00:04:55.880 Currently, there's not really a way to do that. 00:04:55.880 --> 00:05:00.360 And that research is very far off. Like, most communication technology for neurotech 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.560 is, like, still based on, like, really old technologies, 00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:07.960 like the P300 type, which uses a specific, like, brainwave 00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:12.360 that comes when your attention, when you focus on something and you're looking for something, 00:05:12.360 --> 00:05:19.080 and then you see it, right? So if you're going, like, oh, I need, like, I need a thumbtack or something, 00:05:19.080 --> 00:05:23.320 and you're looking across your desk, and you see the thumbtack, when you see the thumbtack, your brain goes, like, oh, snap. 00:05:23.320 --> 00:05:28.760 And there's a specific, like, pattern of activity that happens when you, 00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:33.080 when your attention is, when you've found something. And that's what the P300 takes advantage of, 00:05:33.080 --> 00:05:37.000 but basically showing you, like, a big matrix of letters, 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:41.240 and then flashing them, and then eventually when it flashes the one you want, your brain goes, oh, snap. 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.680 And then it'll type that letter. It takes a really long time. Right. 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:49.880 It's very, very slow. The brain's still very much a black box of, like, we just don't, like, 00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:53.400 we know stuff goes in, we know signals are sent around, we don't know how it all comes out. 00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:58.360 That's a really interesting perspective. I mean, it's clear that you definitely have a different background 00:05:58.840 --> 00:06:04.360 than just purely tech. So I just want to ask you, what got you interested in joining LMG? 00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.160 I mean, you have this big neuroscience background. 00:06:07.960 --> 00:06:14.680 Like, how did that kind of pivot into what you're doing now? I mean, I've always been, like, a longtime fan of Linus Tech Tips. 00:06:14.680 --> 00:06:18.360 Like, I've been watching since, like, Langley House stuff, like. 00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:24.360 So I've always been a fan. Always loved computers, loved gaming, loved technology. 00:06:25.480 --> 00:06:30.600 It's always been a passion of mine. And I was just like, man, it would be so cool to, like, work and do stuff like that. 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.560 And I was creative. I guess it's like, I went into neuroscience with the idea when I was younger. 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:40.920 I was like, I'm going to be a scientist. Like, I am going to make knowledge. 00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.920 I'm going to create stuff. And then I did that and kind of became disenchanted by the world of academia. 00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:50.120 I was like, oh, this is, like, a really messed up system. 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:56.120 And it's a lot of hard work with very little reward at, like, immediate kind of reward. 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.240 And I was like, this isn't right for me. So I kind of had to leave. 00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:04.840 And I've always been, like, a creative type. Like, I do a lot of, I do, like, a lot of theater and stuff like that. 00:07:04.840 --> 00:07:08.120 So I've been doing creative stuff for a long time. So I was like, let's work at LMG. 00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:13.400 Like, it would be so cool. It looks amazing on, like, every, all the videos make it look amazing. 00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:16.680 It would be so much fun to work there. I love all the tech. And then it happened. 00:07:17.640 --> 00:07:21.000 That's really cool to hear. You mentioned that you were really into theater. 00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.560 In specific, you're really into improv, is that right? I do improv comedy. 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:32.360 I know a white guy doing improv comedy. Like, yeah, I've been doing improv comedy for a better part of, like, when did I start? 00:07:33.400 --> 00:07:36.520 Probably when I was, like, 15. 00:07:36.520 --> 00:07:43.400 So, like, almost 12 years now. I did improv in high school. Then at university, I ran the improv club at the University of Lethbridge. 00:07:43.400 --> 00:07:47.560 I performed at, like, Loose Moose Theater in Calgary. The Cancunauts in Calgary. 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.080 I performed out here at the Tightrope Theater in Vancouver. 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:57.880 Yeah, I love it. I've always been, like, a bit of a, I've always loved the spotlight. 00:07:57.880 --> 00:08:03.400 So, and I've always been a class clown and stuff like that. So being able to, like, go on stage and just make people laugh has always been, 00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:09.720 like, it always feels great. And, like, that's why I love, like, I'm always trying to put in stupid stuff that's funny. 00:08:10.440 --> 00:08:18.280 In, like, all of our, every video I write, I'm, like, trying to just find moments to, like, catch people off guard and make them laugh or 00:08:18.280 --> 00:08:22.040 do a bizarre intro. And I'm sure the viewers, they all appreciate it. 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:26.440 I've been seeing so many comments talking about the intro specifically and how good they've become. 00:08:26.440 --> 00:08:31.560 Thank you. Thank you. I've always, like, I don't know what to do other than just, like, what's the weirdest 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.200 thing that I can come up with that seems kind of funny and is, like, at least close enough to relevant. 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:42.360 I remember the one with Linus didn't want to do the intro for the Micron USB. 00:08:42.360 --> 00:08:45.960 Oh, that was such a good one. Yeah, I know. With Anthony on the green screen, Linus did not get it. 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:51.480 He was, like, this doesn't, this seems bad. He's, like, if you have a better idea, please change it, but he was super busy. 00:08:51.560 --> 00:08:57.560 So we never, like, got around to doing it. And then, like, the next, when we had to go film the intro, I was, like, we're filming 00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:00.520 the intro, and he's, like, oh, did you change it? I was, like, no, he's, like, okay. 00:09:01.640 --> 00:09:07.240 And so, like, he had zero confidence in it. And then, like, when the video came out and everyone was, like, that intro was incredible, 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:10.360 I was, like, yes. Yes. I showed him. 00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:15.800 Felt so vindicated. That's really cool to hear how, like, improv has kind of, like, helped you through this role. 00:09:16.920 --> 00:09:20.760 I feel like there's so many things that someone can learn from being an improv. 00:09:20.760 --> 00:09:24.920 Do you have any tips for somebody who might want to start getting into it? 00:09:24.920 --> 00:09:28.920 Okay, yeah. One thing I've always liked about improv is that I feel like it is very, 00:09:30.680 --> 00:09:33.560 it's very applicable to life in general. 00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:40.200 Because it is, it's all about thinking on your feet. It's about working with others. 00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:43.160 So there's lots of, like, soft social skills that you can take away from it. 00:09:44.280 --> 00:09:47.880 The biggest thing that I say, like, especially when I'm running, like, 00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:52.920 workshops and stuff like that, is that it's like, you have to, like, embrace failure. 00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:57.400 Because if you're going to go and do improv, literally what you're setting your, like, 00:09:57.400 --> 00:10:01.880 you're going, hey, I'm going to go on stage in front of an audience. 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:08.440 And I am preparing literally nothing. You're literally setting yourself up to fail. 00:10:09.160 --> 00:10:11.880 And it's going to happen. Not everything's going to land. Not everything's going to be perfect. 00:10:12.520 --> 00:10:16.920 But being comfortable with failure allows you to, like, you know, take those risks. 00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:23.000 And find out what works and what doesn't. And, like, that's the only real way to learn is through messing up a little bit. 00:10:23.640 --> 00:10:29.320 And the great thing about improv is that it's like, you're also in a scenario where people, the audience also understands that you have nothing prepared. 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:33.400 So they're a lot more sympathetic to the idea. They're like, well, that's, they're like, you might do, like, a terrible scene. 00:10:33.400 --> 00:10:38.440 No one laughs. It was stupid. And they're like, that sucked. But, like, boy, at least I'm not up there. 00:10:39.160 --> 00:10:41.880 Like, I've always been like, you ought to embrace failure. 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:47.800 Really, you've got to take it on the chin. And, like, once you learn that failure doesn't actually matter that much, 00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:51.480 because we're trained throughout our entire lives to be like, don't fail school, 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.520 don't mess anything up. If you mess something up, it's going to be the end of the world. 00:10:54.520 --> 00:10:59.160 And, like, 99.9% of the time, it's real failures don't really matter. 00:10:59.160 --> 00:11:06.040 They're always bigger, more perceived in our brains. So, like, that's the biggest thing is embrace failure and support your local artists. 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.480 Go have fun and, like, go and have fun. Don't worry about being good at it. You're not getting, no one's good at it until, like, you're new at something. 00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.840 So if you're comfortable with sharing, what has been your biggest failure in improv? 00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.920 I don't have a story about failure in improv, but I do have an interesting story about failure. 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:27.000 So I actually applied to work here, like, two years ago, maybe almost three at this point. 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:32.680 Oh, really? And I didn't get the job. 00:11:33.400 --> 00:11:41.800 And basically what happened was that I applied, I sent in my script and stuff like that, 00:11:41.800 --> 00:11:45.400 and I got to the, like, get to know you phase. 00:11:45.400 --> 00:11:50.520 I got to the interview with Linus. And what happened was that it was, like, it was booked for after, like, work hours. 00:11:50.520 --> 00:11:55.640 It was booked on a Tuesday evening. It was when we were going to have a phone call and do a phone interview. 00:11:57.880 --> 00:11:59.960 And at the time, I was working at an escape room. 00:12:01.880 --> 00:12:07.880 And I was supposed to have the evening off. But last minute, both the people that were supposed to be there called in sick. 00:12:07.880 --> 00:12:11.320 So the manager needed, like, somebody else to come in. 00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:15.880 I was like, okay, I can come in, but, like, I do have a job interview. 00:12:15.880 --> 00:12:21.160 My managers are super chill. And they also, it was an escape room. They knew that no one was staying there for, like, a long time. 00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:24.520 So they weren't, like, mad. I was like, I have a job interview. 00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:28.360 So I will need, like, a dedicated half hour to 45 minutes off. 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.480 And they were like, that's cool. Tuesday nights, it's an escape room. 00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:35.240 It's not going to be that busy, right? Like, who was like, it's Tuesday night. 00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.000 Let's go. So I was like, okay, it shouldn't be a big worry. 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:42.280 But, like, right before I have the interview, like, three or four different groups 00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:48.760 all come at the exact same time. Oh, my God. So we're immediately slammed. And so I have to, like, get everything set up, get, like, the rooms running, 00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:54.040 get people into the rooms, and then hand everything off to my manager, who can, like, kind of juggle the three rooms at the same time. 00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:57.960 And you might be thinking right now, why didn't you just reschedule the interview? 00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:02.360 And that is what I should have done. I should have just been like, crap, sorry, Linus. 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.840 I got called in to work. Can we reschedule? Yes, that is the thing I should have done. 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.960 But I was like, oh, no, I don't want to mess it up. I don't want to be, like, inconvenient. 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:14.520 I don't know. It was dumb. I was young. I was younger. I was worried. I was like, if I'm inconvenient, he's going to be like, boo. 00:13:14.520 --> 00:13:18.600 And I was like, no, he's not. Stuff pops up all the time. If he's interested in, yeah. 00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:23.560 Now I know, if somebody's interested in interviewing you, they're going to be interested in interviewing you, 00:13:23.560 --> 00:13:26.840 regardless of whether it's at this night or the next night. 00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:31.960 So, like, don't feel bad about having to reschedule. So, like, I ended up being, like, doing this interview. 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:36.280 And, like, I was totally frazzled. I was, like, literally out of breath on top of being scared, 00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:40.200 because I was talking to Linus. And I was, like, I've been watching Linus for, like, 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:45.320 I was, there's definitely some starstruckness there. And, like, I was, like, he literally asked me, like, 00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:49.720 did you, like, run up a flight of stairs? You're, like, breathing really heavy. And I was, like, uh, yeah. 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:53.000 This is a completely flat building. There was no stairs at all. 00:13:54.680 --> 00:13:58.120 Yeah. And so I kiboshed the interview. I do a bad job. He asked me at one point. 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.040 He was, like, you studied neuroscience, but you haven't really done much with it since you've left universities. 00:14:02.040 --> 00:14:08.280 And I just went, like, yeah. Like, that literally was my reply. 00:14:08.280 --> 00:14:12.680 Oh, man. Like, I just had, and I just kiboshed, and I didn't explain the whole thing about how, like, 00:14:12.680 --> 00:14:17.880 you know, I fell out of love with, like, the academic world. And now I was just kind of just moving out of school, 00:14:17.880 --> 00:14:21.480 moving back, trying to find work. I could have given him a very great explanation 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:24.520 as to why I hadn't been doing neuroscience stuff. 00:14:24.520 --> 00:14:27.160 And, uh, I didn't. 00:14:27.960 --> 00:14:31.320 And so I didn't, and so I didn't make it, I didn't get hired. 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.640 Right. Um, but interesting, six months later, 00:14:34.600 --> 00:14:37.640 he called me, um, they, or sent me an email, 00:14:37.640 --> 00:14:41.400 and he was, like, hey, we need a script for Techquickie. 00:14:41.400 --> 00:14:45.400 Can we use yours? Can we contract you, and you just use the script 00:14:45.400 --> 00:14:49.080 you sent in as a, uh, as an application? Right. And I was, like, yeah. 00:14:49.720 --> 00:14:53.720 So my first video on the, at Linus Media Group 00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:57.960 is actually, like, two years ago on Techquickie, and you can find my names on it. 00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:01.640 It is Adam Sondergaard. It is about brain-computer interfaces. 00:15:01.640 --> 00:15:06.200 I did that, and then I applied again, like, I applied again the next, uh, the next time, 00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:09.560 and then the rest is history. There you go. 00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:14.840 So that, I mean, it goes to show, like, go for it. Like, I'll try, because you don't know, 00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:21.320 like, I never would have gotten the opportunity to have, like, a script be filmed and put on the internet. 00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:26.280 I never would have gotten that if I didn't apply and mess up the application. 00:15:26.280 --> 00:15:29.320 And then I was like, well, I messed up whatever. I'll apply again. 00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:34.360 So. You miss all the shots you don't take? Yeah, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:37.480 Michael Scott, Wayne Gretzky. Or Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott. 00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.960 Adam Sondergaard. Also, you're a big music guy, is that right? 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.000 Yes, huge music fan. What's your favorite genre? 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:50.360 I guess, like, I don't really have a favorite genre, but I tend towards, treat it like guitar-based music, 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:53.880 probably, like, alt-rock kind of stuff, usually heavier, 00:15:53.880 --> 00:15:57.800 maybe some stonery kind of stuff. I like a lot of prog, you know. 00:15:57.800 --> 00:15:59.960 I like the Weedley-Weedley music. I like that. 00:16:00.920 --> 00:16:04.120 Like, if it's needlessly intelligent 00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:08.440 and a little bit show-off-y, I'm usually like... That's all you. I mean, it's usually kind of my jam. 00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:11.720 I try to make sure I listen to a wide selection of music, 00:16:11.720 --> 00:16:15.880 but there's stuff that I'm not very familiar with. Like, I don't listen to, like, not too familiar with, 00:16:15.880 --> 00:16:19.400 like, mainstream country or stuff like reggae 00:16:19.400 --> 00:16:23.880 or significant portions of, like, classical music or modern orchestral. 00:16:23.880 --> 00:16:26.440 I only really dabble in all of those. Totally fair. 00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:33.160 Who are your favorite artists, then? Right now, I've listened to a lot of Black Country New Road. 00:16:33.800 --> 00:16:37.400 Their album, Ants, from up there is absolutely incredible. 00:16:37.400 --> 00:16:41.640 I think one of the best albums in the past five years, easily. 00:16:42.520 --> 00:16:47.400 I've been very into Steely Dan in the past couple of years. I just got into them about a year ago 00:16:47.400 --> 00:16:51.800 and have been devouring their whole catalog. It's genius. 00:16:52.680 --> 00:16:59.240 Long-term favorite bands. There's a Canadian band. They're like a math metal slash prog band. 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:02.760 They're called Protest the Hero. Love those guys. 00:17:02.760 --> 00:17:06.200 Mastodon has always been really one of my favorite bands. 00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:11.400 Who else am I? Obviously Radiohead, like, huge Radiohead fan. 00:17:14.280 --> 00:17:18.200 Trying to think of who else I'm a really big fan of. I like Beck. 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:22.440 Beck's freaking amazing. Kendrick Lamar. I'm a big, huge Beastie Boys fan, too. 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.600 Yeah, there's too many bands that I love. It's something to name just a few favorites. 00:17:26.600 --> 00:17:30.440 That's totally fair. What do you think your most played song this year is, though? 00:17:30.440 --> 00:17:33.720 I can pull it up. Oh, okay. Just in 2022? 00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:38.440 You can see that my most listened to songs are all Steely Dan. 00:17:39.160 --> 00:17:43.880 Oh, wow. But that's because I had a big phase. Anyways, Adam, thanks so much for your time. 00:17:43.880 --> 00:17:47.000 Looking forward to seeing your future videos. Keep an eye out for weird shit.
