Well it's been a minute. And that's because we care. It's called self care and get use to it.  You know sometimes things happen in this world. And when they do, you need to be prepared. WD-40. That's right. You need WD-40. Not WD-39, not WD-41, but good ole fashion WD-40.  WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THIS PODCAST IS ABOUT.  Please and thank you, Jesus Christ.

Getting Pretentious

Hey there, sometimes you just gotta get out there and be yourself. Other times, definetly don't do that. It could be dangerous. Because sometimes you're just not good enough you know? I mean, I'm not suppose to say that, but the truth hurts sometimes. This week we sing, play music, and generally suck at both. But whatever. Please like this, you could share it if you want but you don't have to.  I love you.

Getting Pretentious

We have recently been accused of clout chasing with our episode titles. We argue that we are simply shameless oportunists who love a good easy way to get viewers.  Anyways this episode we really dive into what it means to be an artist, the finer points of freedom, what it means to be an American, and why you should think about other spirits in this realm we call modern day earth.  Also hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon are the building blocks of life. Here's the thing... those are super common in this universe. So we can assume the ingredients of life exist on other planets. Seems...

We have guitars too! This episode Jayce takes a break from music and lets Connor do the heavy lifting. It's hard work making stuff up all the time.  You should follow us on whatever we have on social media. How does one even do that?

I would like to apologize for the behavior and attitude that was displayed this episode. It was not right nor fair that these two had air time to discuss this nonsense. I think we should boycott their show and boycott any live performances they partake in. For example, they are performing live on June 21st in Athens, Georgia at the Flicker Bar. It will be around 8pm. So make sure to boycott this. It is important that we don't show up... on June 21st, in Athens, at Flicker Bar, at 8pm. Tickets are either $5 or free. But don't buy one.

Getting Pretentious

Do you need to retire? Well that's dumb. You'll never retire. That's like something you do when you 90 and also rich. How does one get rich? Hard work, perseverance, original thinking, blood of the innocent? Who knows!  Also here at Getting Pretentious we are offering to buy Twitter for one more dollar than Elon Musk is offering. That's the game Elon, you play to win and win to play. Or whatever rich people say.

It's weird that people listen to this show. I honestly don't get it. You know what's ever weirder? 

People wanting TO BE ON the show! Like who with a working brain would even consider it? 

Damon Sumner. That's who. 

Damon has a new album coming out soon so be sure to check that out. He is a great stand up comedian, father, and podcaster. Check his stuff out. Follow him on instagram at @damonrj2 to get information about his shows and his upcoming album release. Whew... that plug was exaughsting to type. 


But also laugh at him for the insane decision to come on a middling improvised musical podcast.
