David's Saturday Night Sit Back (DSNSB)
When I started this show, I had no clear direction — no perfect plan, no “ideal guest.”
So, I committed to recording 21 episodes and figured if something clicked, I’d keep going. Around episode 12, a guest flipped the script and started asking me the hard questions. I was terrified to publish it — but I’d be a hypocrite to ask for people’s truth if I wasn’t willing to give mine.
Then a 17-year-old approached me at the gym after hearing my story. He told me that at 16, he tried to take his own life. And somehow, hearing that episode gave him the hope to keep going.
This podcast is now a mission: to tell personal stories with an aim light the internal fire in young men and women across the globe who are walking through the dark night of their journey.

Tyler Hayes is the drummer and producer behind The Broken View, the New York-born rock band known for self-producing their music and videos. He’s also the founder of Greyscale Recordings, a mixing and mastering studio built on raw creative conviction and analog grit. This episode pulls back the curtain on the quiet grind behind loud dreams — from iPhone music videos to career-defining moments where the band nearly lost everything.
Episode Chapters & Themes:
- Wrestling fandom roots 🥁🎸
- Pots-and-pans beginnings → real drum kit at 5
- Influences like Slipknot, Def Leppard, Deftones, Avenged Sevenfold
- The studio-first mindset that built Greyscale Recordings
- Self-producing music + directing videos for The Broken View
- Dopamine, creativity, community, and handling emotion
- The night the band almost lost their first EP and nearly called it quits
Some artists chase sound. Some chase stability. Tyler chased creation — even when it felt like a fight through the curtain, the curriculum, the expectations, and the setbacks. If you’ve ever felt disconnected from the “normal path,” this is your reminder that adversity doesn’t erase dreams — it sharpens them.
