AnthonyHOST
It's like Dave and I talked about this.
AnthonyHOST
I don't know whether you guys saw it or not, but the Anvil documentary that came out a bunch of years ago.
AnthonyHOST
That was pretty good.
AnthonyHOST
I'm not an Anvil fan or anything, but I watched the documentary, and I thought it was great.
AnthonyHOST
because it's not the big house, big cars, big money.
AnthonyHOST
We lost it all because of drugs and alcohol, and now we built it back up.
AnthonyHOST
Well, we were a mid-level band, and we're still a mid-level band.
AnthonyHOST
And in the case of Anvil, we've been trying to make it for 50 years, and we're still trying to make it.

but o- o- one of the reasons, you know, I became, uh, a, Matt's biographer, because, you know, uh, in the last episode, you know, this guy, he's a genius.
SymeonGUEST
So he's talking about the music that he listened over the week, and he starts with Anvil, he goes to Thor, then, you know, he says that, uh, he loves, uh, Lulu from, uh, from Metallica.
