Hanging Out With Chops
Episode 1 - Let's Just Start
Episode 1: Let’s Just Start
In this first episode, I hit record and dive right in—no script, no filter. I talk about life in the recording studio, how things shifted during COVID, and what it's like being a dog dad through it all. I share my thoughts on AI music creation, play two wild examples made with Suno, and laugh through some ridiculous songs I made just for fun. Between the music and memories, I get into the kinds of late-night conspiracy talks that happen between takes—moon landings, aliens, 9/11, you name it. If you grew up in the ‘80s, you’ll feel right at home with some throwbacks to static TV screens and a time when culture hit different. Welcome to the ride.
🎙️ Thanks for tuning in to this episode—raw, random, and real.
