Chris Graham (0:29)

Great, brother, how are you?

Brian Hood (0:31)

Man, I'm so, so good, especially now that we just purchased our flights to Winter NAMM in Anaheim. Chris, are you looking forward to this?

Chris Graham (0:40)

Oh man, I'm gonna get my gear slut on so hard. It's gonna be awesome. So if you're gonna be at NAMM, NAMM, for those of you who don't know, is this gigantic sort of festival of audio and visual people. And you go there and all the companies have booths where they're selling their gear, and it's kind of awesome and terrifying. And a bunch of audio engineers come out, a bunch of audio bloggers and podcasters and YouTubers, and sort of like this giant party that we have as a community each year. I've only actually been to Summer NAMM in Nashville before, but we're gonna be out there. If you're in the neighborhood, if you're in LA, that area, or you're gonna be out in the Anaheim, California area, reach out to us via Instagram or via the email address, podcast at thesixfigurehomestudio.com.

My Instagram is chris, C-H-R-A-S, underscore, gram, G-R-A-H-A-M.

Brian, hit him with your Instagrams.

Brian Hood (1:34)

Instagram is Brian Hood. That's H-0-0-D, Brian H-0-0-D.

Chris Graham (1:40)

When you get married, are you and your wife gonna actually change your name to H-0-0-D? Because you could.

Brian Hood (1:46)

No.

I joke about combining our last names. Her last name is Newell. My last name is Hood. So we're gonna combine it to be New Hood.

Chris Graham (1:52)

I like it.

Brian Hood (1:53)

No.

Chris Graham (1:53)

Sounds good.

Brian Hood (1:54)

That's very progressive, though.

Chris Graham (1:55)

It is. Anyways, yeah, reach out to us if you guys are in NAMM.

NAMM. I'm just kidding. It's NAMM.

Brian Hood (2:01)

Long A.

Chris Graham (2:02)

Anyways, yeah, we would love to hook up with you guys. We'd love to meet.

And yeah, we're just excited to go out and, you know, hang out and make friends with people. So hit us up.

Brian Hood (2:10)

We need to find some way for us to do some sort of Six Figure Home Studio Hangout. I don't know what we're gonna do yet. Chances are, just because of the way we do these episodes where we record way in advance.

At the end of some episode somewhere, I will mention myself. I will mention what we're doing and how we're doing it or whatever. If you're not already a part of the Six Figure Home Studio Facebook community, which you can get to by going to the sixfigurehomestudio.com/community.

It's a free Facebook group. We'll be talking about it there as well. We're going to find some way to do something as a community. I don't know if it's just hanging out at some specific spot inside of WinterNAM. Who knows? I don't know what we're going to do yet, but we'll figure that out. But we will definitely, definitely be there.

Chris Graham (2:49)

It would be nice if a fan of the podcast had a cool recording studio in Anaheim that we could all meet up at. So if that's you and you want to have a party, let us know.

Brian Hood (3:01)

Yeah, so that would be... If you are a mastering engineer and you have a nice space somewhere, think about all the recording engineers that you could have coming into your studio and making connections.

Chris Graham (3:09)

Yeah, that'd be great.

Brian Hood (3:10)

Those are all potential leads. I'm just saying there's a benefit in there for you. Not to mention all the potential friends you can make.

And I didn't want to say it, but Chris Graham has a damn cat on the camera right now. He's rubbing his face against the mic. Get out of here with that.

Chris Graham (3:24)

I'm weird. This is our new kitten, Dr. Raleigh Sinclair.

Brian Hood (3:27)

I was trying to hide this from our community. Chris Graham is a cat person, y'all.

Chris Graham (3:30)

I am a cat person.

Brian Hood (3:31)

Chris Graham is a cat person. I'm trying not to hate him for it.

Chris Graham (3:35)

Hi, Raleigh.

Brian Hood (3:35)

No.

Chris Graham (3:36)

Anyways, we got him for our kids. It's amazing. You can do anything you want to this cat, and he doesn't mind, and our kids do. So it's wonderful.

Brian Hood (3:42)

And you can send all P to hate mail to podcast at the six figure home studio.com for all the animal abuse that Chris inevitably puts upon his cat.

Chris Graham (3:51)

Well, it's mostly just my daughter snuggling with him and squeezing him like a teddy bear. It's pretty fun.
