Hey, Peter. Hey. Back to work. Really? That's Thursday, man. Day after Christmas. Isn't it still best of, though? It's Boxing Day.

Boxing Day in Canada, right? I think in England. Oh, in England. Where's Kanata? That's our northern borders. They're like Granada? No, Canada. Oh, Canada.

Kanata, you never heard. Did they do Boxing Day in Canada? Andrew, can you check on that for us, please? Come on quickly. This is an intro. This is an intro. We don't have all day. Well, we're here because we have another best of episode.

But we also want to encourage you to go to openstadiojazz.com. We have our year-end sale. going on, you could save 40% on any course or subscription, including our popular piano access pass, just by entering the promo code, Play Better at checkout. Which is very appropriate because we guarantee

money-back guarantee that you will play better after you go through our courses. That's actually true. We do guarantee... I know, which is crazy because we can't force you to practice but we can force you to be in spite. No, we can't even force you to do that. We can't even really do that. I mean, if you become an annual member of the piano access pass, you can then

participate in our January boot camp and we will shame you a little bit into practicing. That's right. Not too bad, but we are going to encourage you strongly to do some things that might push you beyond your comfort zones. Well, and we've already found out here from our producer. Andrew, yes, they do celebrate

Boxing Day in Canada, so it might be more known in the UK, but I was correct that Canada is celebrated. So there you go. Maybe it's like a Commonwealth holiday. Is that possible? Hey, Canada's independent. Yeah, but it's part of the Commonwealth, isn't it? Well, it's South Africa and Australia.

No, come on, man. See, now you're just messing up. There's still a, it's still a, the British Empire is over, buddy. It's not, okay. Well, enjoy this Rando episode. Rando. Good stuff. So why are we talking about crushing orange?

Oh, we're talking about how to crush it on every solo. I was just at the gym earlier day and I was crushing my quads. It's so funny that we're like, I mean, playing a great jazz solo is so like against crush it, man. It's so anti-crushing. That's why we put it together, though. I know. Because we have a crush on jazz.

Put like a bodybuilder thumbnail on this one on YouTube, okay? We had a pet. I started to go dark a little bit. The old granddad is flowing. We had a pet rat, R-I-P Fiona for many years in our home. We did. My daughter had a pet rat, and we cared about that rat's ass. We cared about her rat's ass.

I cared a great deal about that rat's ass. Yeah, but now this was not a street rat. Let me just explain that. No, it wasn't. Shout out to all our street rats. Where my street rat at? No, this is what we would call in the business of... Now you...

Andrew lost it, now you're losing it. This was a fancy rat. That's what it's called. That's the scientific name for it. Fancy rat. Yeah. And I don't know if you know about it. There's a street rat, fancy rat, and hairless rat.

Those things are scary a F. Stay away from that. But this was a fancy rat, and we cared about its rat's ass. Let's move on. We're losing it here. Okay. So... See how confident he was in that story?

That's how confident you need to be in your play. Yeah, you know what's... Monday. It's a special Monday. It is a special. It's the cyber truck Monday. No. Yeah, CyberTruck. Just Cyber Monday. Oh, Cybermonde. Although the cyber truck does look pretty rad. It's pretty ugly. I'm already sold on it. I'm already, I've already, when I first thought, I was like, that is ugly. So you put a deposit down on it? No, of course not. No, that's literally would mean you're sold on it. Well, we're going to be giving away one cyber truck. No, no, no, no, no, no, man. We're giving a sweepstakes. But we do have, no, no. No, we do have a

giveaway. We have a giveaway, but that's over. By the way. You know what I'm saying? Going old school. Put on my little elementary school bridges and get my lunch pail out. Going old school. Have you ever talked about my McCoy Tiner lunchbox? It's valuable, man.

No way. No, I'm just kidding. That would be awesome. Get like a blues on the corner lunchbox. Yeah, yeah. Oh, man, I wouldn't be all over that. You know. Well, maybe we'll include that as part of a 2020 challenge of a

building a McCoy Tiner lunchbox? Actually, if there's any artisans out there that want to build this at McCoy Tiner lunchbox, we would totally take it. But I feel like you could order that from some Chinese like Alibaba or something where you just like upload the logo. I don't think you have to be an artist.

Ryan, order us a McCoy-Tiner Blues on the Corner lunchbox. Oh, that would be incredible. And put a link below. I'll take a real McCoy. I want to Herbie Hancock Headhunters Lunch Pail. That's got it.

With vegan leather trim on it. You could do that. Not to eat. Just as trim. Anyway. Boom. Bo, boom, bum, bo, ba, bo, dao, shab do dao, do shab do dow. Oh, what's up?

It begins. Oh, it's about to jump. Oh, yeah. I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. You're listening to the You'll Hear a podcast. Daily Jazz advice. Coming at you.

Coming at you today. We are coming at you. Did we just lose some listeners on that intro? Full on holiday spirit. This cat came out with straight up like Peanuts Christmas. Well, I mean, You know, I'm trying to jazz it up. We have a funny thing with our, what we call our cold open.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sometimes it's freezing cold like that one. We always have this moment where we kind of look at each other like, are we going to leave that? And we usually leave it. We always leave it. We always leave it. Never is good.

Well, sometimes we say politically incorrect things, and we still leave it as well. So I'm talking about things like the tune, All of Me or... All of Me. Just take all of me. That tune? Yeah. Or the bridge. The bridge, most famously, the bridge, too.

It's putting the gain down on my mic, I see it. Sorry, did I spark some excitement over in the engineering department? The bridge on rhythm. Thank you very much. Sorry, I don't even know what that is. I don't know what's going on. So, tune like all of the... I love a parade.

Sorry. That just popped in my head. See, there you go. You done? Yep. Okay. It's the circle of fifth cycle of life. Someone comments.

The Lion King? Yeah. I watched it on the plane back. from Japan just recently. Nice. The new one. Do you know who the... Oh, the new one.

You know who's saying the original circle of life? Elton John. That's right. Okay, so... But I digress. Elton John, he knows a little something about a secondary dominant.

Does he know anything about the altered scale, that? Daniel. What's that? My brother, Daniel. There's some secondary dominance in that. I don't think he knows the altered scale, though. He has hits. Nothing that'll keep you away from a hit

like an altered scale. For sure. That'll knock you. off the billboard charts faster. Or a Liddy and Dominoff. Oh, yeah, no, actually, yeah. It got a little bit emotional yesterday. We had to bring, Ryan had to bring out the tissue.

Not emotional. I just had jet lag and I spilled my coffee everywhere. Is everything working still there? Pretty much. I mean, my computer was still fried from the last time. I spilled a bunch of stuff like it. You pour liquid in there like you're some kind of mad scientist. It is ridiculous.

I bought this computer, like outright. I usually lease. Yeah. That was a huge mistake. You can lease a computer? You can lease a computer. Let's do this big time, man. You got good credit, don't you?

Well, not anymore. Not since I've destroyed like three computers in a row. Cool. Well, what are we talking about today? Cool. No, I'm not. That's like my hump day segues. All right, so since this was specifically for you, Adam, I think I'll start out talking.

No, I can see why you picked this question. Oh, man. I couldn't agree more with this question. Why didn't you do this while I was gone from? I'm peace, and I'm out. Well, first of all, Mr. Taysman, it's flattery will get you everywhere. Yeah, now, see, yesterday you were talking about how. much I love self-adulation. Look at you

now. You're like a cherub. You know, your cheeks are all rosy. Look how happy is. Your hair is a little more coiffed. I love it. I love it. Do what you want. But, I mean, quick aside, the filter, gifilter, gifilter fish. Have you ever had that? It's horrible.

Gifilter fish. It's a horrible I have had that, actually. Horrible food. Hashtag not keto, hashtag not plant based. But the thing about this is, is, you know, take off the filter. Not only that, But not even, something's fishy about this podcast. Something very fishy about this podcast.

Well, you got to travel in a school to learn jazz. Oh, my goodness, dude. Hello. Captain Nemo. There was dad titling before, now there's dad jokes happening left and right. I'm pulling in some part. My goodness.

So I Googled Canada. Yes. And I googled Boxing Day. Turns out Boxing Day is one of the biggest shopping days in Canada. Whoa. So today's the day, huh? Yeah. So if you're Canadian,

and you want to play jazz better. Yes, that's right. Code open studio jazz.com. And into the code, play better at checkout and say 40% on anything we sell. By the way, I also Googled Commonwealth. Yes.

The Commonwealth of Nations is a voluntary association of 53 sovereign states. Nearly all of them are former British colonies. It's a real thing. It's not the British Empire. Okay. Well, whatever. You'll hear it. I'm glad I won that. You'll hear it.
