Thaddeus
Appearances
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You're chiefing in the womb, mom. No, in Colorado, it's early. I remember having a fake ID, like, in eighth grade, and I was using it to go to a dispensary, and the dispensary was, like, half the size of this room. And you'd walk in, and my hands were all shaky. Yeah, my name's Thaddeus. And then they'd give me a kush. Which is nice.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Dude, for me, it's all the same shit to me. It all feels like weed.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
OG Kush. What's OG Kush? It's like the default, I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It's also great for sleep, which is why I love it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't know. One of them. It happened like three years ago. Then we got lunch. And we're very similar people. We went to U of A. I went to Boulder. We have a similar mindset for things. Trying to take over the world in 2025.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Or it could just plateau, and then I could peak. Why would you say that? I don't know. Do you have anxiety? Because I... Anxiety. Do you have that? I have anxiety when I know I need to get work done, but I don't think of it as anxiety because we have anxiety as a flight or flight response, right? Like, if I know I need to do something, I'll start doing it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And anxiety is a feeling we have, but, like, if you have to do, like, an assignment... Or if I have a set I know I need to work on, I'll get anxious about that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But I think it's a good anxiety. It's like getting excited. I don't think of it as anxiety. I think of it as excitedness.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, I try to smoke enough weed to where I see stars when I fall asleep. And then I think I have no thoughts when I go to bed. No, not one. Well, I used to come up with stories to fall asleep.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Like a rabbit walking through like a field, but he has friends. And then maybe his friends were like part of gang related at rabbit activities. And then that's a whole side story. And then you can keep going down that lane. But yeah, I just random stuff.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Uh, um, probably like two years ago, years ago, a girl years ago. Um, I met this girl at a vegan restaurant.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It was called, uh, it was like Sierra something. Um, you vegan? No, but my buddy was an experiment. My mom was vegan, but we would, we chatted and we had this, the whole dinner. We just talked the entire time. It was a whole group of people. But she was awesome. She had no idea that I was a DJ.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
She had no knowledge of the electronic music world, which I thought was awesome because she resonated with my personality and not the music, which is beautiful. But it was a good relationship. We broke up right before I went to Australia.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Because I think I have trust issues with people. I don't know. If I'm going to go do my own thing... In Australia, like, I don't want to worry about someone else, and I feel like that will impact my career if I'm worried about someone else. Does that make sense?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I know, but then I remember getting there, and I remember... The first day, the first show we had was in this place called Byron Bay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It was gorgeous. We were driving through. I'm so stoked to be in Australia, but I was also a little sad, right?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And I'm sitting there with the promoter at dinner and he was, he's like looking at me. He's like, why do you look so depressed? He's like, I've seen your content online. You're like smiling a lot. And I'm like, dude, I just like broke up with so-and-so. And he's like, well, you're in Australia. You're a DJ and nothing matters. And I was like, dude, you're so right.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And then I got it fucking tatted on me. That's right here.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. There we go. No, later in the trip. But she did obviously have a big effect on my life if I got a tattoo after. Obviously, she did matter if I got a tattoo.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It was awesome while it lasted. Dude, you know what she would do?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That really made my heart feel good. She would pick me up from the airport after tour, and I'd come home so tired and kind of barred out from the flight. And she'd come with a Starbucks tea, like a blanket. She'd drive me back to my home in Marina Del Rey. We'd watch a movie. Do you miss her? Damn, I miss her.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I fully fucked everything up. Dude, you know what? On the last day, too, after I broke up with her, she made me a hoodie.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
she made clothes I never showed you this it was a light blue hoodie my favorite color and she cut out fabric and like she spent months on this and wrote disco lines and had stars and had multiple layers and patterns and I was like yeah I don't think I like you very much after that and then she asked for the hoodie back after I said that ah she fucking should ah she fucking should and burn it Guinevere burn it ah
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I was also cocky at the time. I didn't realize what I had. At the time? At the time, my music was doing well, I think. So I was like, fuck it. I'm a DJ. I got really confident for no reason. Dude, and the best part is one time we had a show in San Diego. And she came up on stage. And most girls are dancing or trying to look hot.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But I looked in this girl's eyes and there was nothing but pure joy and bliss. And she was just jumping up and down so free. And it made me so happy.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
We've never talked after that. I deleted her number. She probably deleted mine.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't know. I think, do you, what was it? Yeah. What? Damn, I don't know what to say now.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
The John Summitt shit is insane. How have you never bought a girl flowers?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, but I buy my mom. Oh, no. No. Did I? I don't know. I always buy my mom flowers. That's beautiful. I think my mom, she flips. And the more money I get with my career, I buy her more flowers every year. So it goes from like a bouquet of like a dozen. Last year I got her like 500 for her birthday.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
One of them's finishing his senior year in Boulder and the other one is, lives in Golden. And they're both electrical engineers, very smart guys.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, very smart family. My dad worked for NASA. My mom does creative stuff. She does design.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, which is the perfect merge. What did your parents do?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Reading makes me less anxious. Do you read? Mm-hmm. Sometimes those thoughts we have, like those, or like, I don't know, I'll have thoughts throughout the day, we'll like go down different paths, but it kind of takes it away when you're reading a book, you have,
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
very linear train of thought versus like your brain, just like going all these different tangents throughout the day when you're scrolling your phone or on Instagram. But yeah, I've been reading the new or not new, but I've been reading the Steve jobs documentary as a recent or not documentary. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
A lot. Like what other ones have you... I listen to a lot of podcasts with people who have just started businesses and stuff. I find that fascinating. I find like those are the best people to learn from. Yeah. In terms of being an entrepreneur.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't know. I feel like I like clothes. I love putting out clothes. I love putting out music. But I... Yeah, you look like a snack.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Wait, can the people see the back? Can the people see the back of it? Well, you turned the worst way possible.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So we got this bald eagle signifying the independence of America and our just overall strength as a country.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No one striking? No one you've met that's like worthwhile? I feel like the person who meets your energy needs to be either the opposite.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What were you doing with that wine bottle earlier?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
When I walked in, she was drinking it in your living room by herself.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Right now we're in the car trying to plot the Coachella billboard.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm doing a billboard. But my idea was to have... Disco spelled out in cocaine, and then a dollar bill rolled up. But apparently you can't put drugs on a billboard. They don't like that, so we're going through different thoughts right now.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Do you know what a disco line is? It's a term that came from Boulder, and it's when you snort molly and cocaine together. Together? Yes.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It's painful. You're not supposed to snore at Molly. But, yeah. Do you miss college? It was the best four years of my life. I'm saying that even now as a DJ.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You cannot say that. I would rather have all my close friends in the same vicinity in beautiful Rocky Mountains and go back to that any time than... I mean, I love my life now, but I felt so free back then. I was growing so much as a human being.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I just liked it. I just liked listening to it. I don't know. I looked up a video of Skrillex producing music, and I thought that was interesting.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I think it was, there's a younger rapper named Feli and he was producing. I saw these, just the youth making music. I thought that was sick. It's like young people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
just when you play your songs together on a during a set so like you do a mix of like whatever two artists you try to play have you ever gone back to back with someone yeah all the time what was the last do you remember the last rave you went to I've never been to a rave yeah you said you went to a summit show yeah but does that count as a rave I don't know I don't want to get into nuance I guess that's a rave but like the last show I went to like that was a John's Summit show and I want to say it was his Vegas residency nice
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Can you call me Thaddeus? Yeah, of course. I like being called Thaddeus more. I don't think, yeah, I don't like anyone referring to me as Disco Lines.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Because I was high and with someone. I was watching, I think, Ratatouille at my house. And he's like, get on this jet in Vegas. And I was like, no. Are you guys really close? Yeah. There's not that many people I can talk to about, like, my life. So, like, we, like, talk about that stuff. But, yeah, we see each other, like, during shows and stuff because we'll play the same festival. So, yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I would, like, text her. I don't FaceTime. Oh, I would, in high school, I would do, like, you know, like, the late-night conversations where you're up to, like, three? When I had a long-distance girlfriend, I would do, like... When did you have a long-distance girlfriend? I was a senior in high school, and I was dating a girl in college, and we would do that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, she was awesome. That was the best girlfriend I ever had. Her name was Isabella. Has the best family. Putting out first and last name. Everyone should go. She's awesome. I was such a nerd in high school. She brought me out of my shell. Her family was Mexican, so they showed me. They had so much more culture than my Polish family.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Dude, you know, it's actually funny. We were dating in high school. Amazing relationship. She went to college and then I went to Gonzaga first semester. She went to IU and we both agreed that we're going to go to the same school. So we both went back to Boulder and transferred schools. And then we both transferred back to Boulder, dated for three weeks and then broke up.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. I just, I wasn't attracted to her anymore, which is weird. Oh, Jesus Christ.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I feel like that's a justified reason to stop dating.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Sure. Do you think humans are meant to be in long relationships?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You keep following up my questions with another question.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Mm-hmm. So, like, if you have a family or if you don't have a family, you'll still live a great life.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I want, like, five little Jake Shanes running around. The world needs that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I went by that in college. And then I switched back to Thaddeus. Because Thad just comes off as so douchey. Like, you got the Brads, the Chads.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Going off to different, like, states, interviewing different people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I want five little Thaddeuses running around. Yeah, because you can... That's how awesome is that, to, like, create another version of yourself and have it exist.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. Well, no, but, like, mixed with some, like, another female, hopefully. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't know if monogamy is a crazy question, though. I've always thought that, like, is monogamy a part of the human experience? You've always thought that? Because, yeah, we have these families. Like, the whole goal of your life is to have a family, have kids. But is that?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Like we live in an age now where we have access to all these people, photos of Instagram and people are hot and people are traveling and people are hooking up. Like that's a way of life as well. Being a whore. That's going to get clipped so badly.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That was like 2022, I think. But I was just, it was just one of those beats I made. I was in, I think I was touring in Northern California, somewhere in Northern California, but I was in the airport and I was just making beats. And I posted a video again, the beauty of TikTok, like promoting music. Posted a video of that, and then I took off on the flight and landed. It had like a million plays.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And I was like, fuck yes. Yeah, I was so excited. Because it was a good song.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, and then I just blew up. I got a record deal with Sony.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
They signed that song in Techno and Tequila. So I'm honestly not even trying to make an album right now. I'm searching for that next hit. I'm trying to think of the next baby girl. Baby boy? Baby boy? Baby Jake Shane? Baby Shane?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I do, actually. What's it called? It's called Jet Blue by Jake Shane. Eli was playing me your music in the car. You like it?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I think it would be... Yes, but I also think it would be great if you came out on stage for a song. I don't know what show that would be, but... Do not tempt me. You know how... Many people would fucking scream. You probably know, but it would be insane.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Or we could make... I think it's better if we try to make a song. When was the last time you were locked in the stew? My brother... Let's get you in. Let's cook.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Are you going with a group? Are you going with my friend? Love that.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I think you should postpone your skiing trip to France.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Like, yo, I got to cook. Like, we got to lock in and make an album.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
The label is calling. They want the Jake Shane disco lines. They need it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I want to perform with you. I feel like you would bring a stage presence that is unparalleled and something no one's ever seen. I would need to be so blacked out, John. I would also, too, throw up. Do you like skiing? You break skier?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Your entire life? Ever. And you're going to France to try it out for the first time. I'm so excited. Well, it was like... I used to teach kids how to ski in college. That was one of my jobs.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What's the worst sex experience you've ever had? I like don't have sex.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
A lot of people are like, you gotta lose your virginity with, like, a very special person. Not me. But you just, you swiped right. No, I swiped up. You swiped up. Okay.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It was a good party school. I didn't really party too much in – oh, I definitely did. But it was more – I was studying computer science at the time, and I had to pay for my college, so I was, like, grinding pretty hard. And then I would make beats every night and just, like, work every day.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I was a lover, and I was also a nerd. Okay. A lover? I don't know. I wasn't athletic. I feel like being popular in high school, everyone was just, like, a sick athlete. I was the worst athlete.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. Do you feel it? Yeah. I want you to come out for a show. I think that's the biggest thing.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yes, I live with four other roommates. And he knows you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Say goodnight to him every night before I go to bed.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, he said he would take you to parties in college at USC.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't get black out, or I don't get white girls.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That's the beauty of blacking out? I don't remember at all.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That's how good I am at it. I can't even tell you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
There was one time in college. It was my birthday. I remember this because it was my birthday. I had repercussions, but... It was my 21st, so obviously in Boulder you have a whole array.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So there's all these bars you go to. The first one is a shot, a sink shot, where they take all the remnants of the bar and put it. So basically you're just getting fucked up the entire night. But yeah, I blacked out. But the funny part, I was with my buddy who had a girlfriend at the time. I didn't like her. But I posted like five snapshots of me with him just like roasting his girlfriend.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I was like, you should break up with her. I don't know. But that's why I don't drink excessively.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm looking for love in three years when I quit my DJ career.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't want to DJ past 30. I want to open a farm or just live a very calm life.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm turning 27. Understood. But I'm 26. But I don't want... I just like... Yeah, I'd rather like farm avocados and have a quiet life. I don't get any sleep on the road. I turn into a manic asshole. Like I yell at my close friends. I like... When you do three shows and you start your shows at 2 a.m. every night and they... I don't know. I just like...
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, I can't sleep. I have sleeping issues. So like my insomnia gets really bad. And it's funny, like we can go like days without eating food and we're fine. But if you go a night without sleep, we become some of the worst versions of ourselves. It's interesting. So I want to like take a break from touring and just like farm.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
what yeah okay when it's with the homies like when it's with a good crew like it's very it's a lot easier but still it's like i'm sure you do it too for comedy like you get you have trouble sleeping on the road do you ever get lonely like what i do um i usually take like i don't know i take like a like a night well right after i get off stage and i it hits as i get back on the bus and i fall asleep see i don't do that
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I keep drinking. Okay. And it's a beautiful night. And then that just leads me to having it. Even if I don't drink, it ends at like 5 a.m.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
We've toured together for the, Eli's been with me like even on the college shows four years ago when I was doing college shows. We were in Lubbock, Texas together in some shitty hotel. Dude. What was the Kansas State Fair like? You want to talk about the Kansas State Fair? Come here.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I studied computer science. I loved video games as a kid. I was a pretty nerdy kid. I still am a pretty nerdy person, but I was just glued to the computer. I was good at it. I tried to be a doctor freshman year because my grandpa was a doctor, and I was trying to go under that path. And I remember the first...
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Eli's a lot more charismatic than me. Talk about the Kansas State Fair.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And it was... Eli was pointing to the... just, like, the most out-of-pocket people, and he's like, go interview them. And, like, we'd just go... Interview them for what? We'd go up to... We were in Kansas City, and he's like, you're gonna go up to these people, or I was like, this would be funny to ask them what their opinion is of, like, EDM, or, like, electronic music.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I don't know. They had a bag. It was really... It was, like, stupid money.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
It was an absurd amount of money that we were both like, we can't say no to this. So we went, and we're interviewing all these people... after what's a notable story, the tort, the promoter.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I remember the funniest part about that, too, is we were in the hotel in Kansas City, and we're, like, checking in. And I look at this family come in, and it's just the Amish, like, 30 of them. Like, carrying in, like, multiple, like, of those, like, things you use to transport your bags. No ankles showing. They have the Amish garb, too. Wait, like. Amish people are so funny.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
One thing I want to do in my life also. That's not DJing is I want to go to an Amish facility or like, what would you call it?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I want to go to like an Amish like homestead and like just bring like three Xboxes and like three iPhones. But that's against their vibe. And just like drop them. And just see what kids pick them up and maybe one becomes Steve Jobs. Maybe one becomes a pro gamer. Like, you don't know what's going to happen.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
day of class i was in chemistry class and the professor is this old man everyone started calling them professors at that time so that was so scary for me coming from high school and we're learning these how to balance equations something very rudimentary and like i'm sure we all could do it but i like at the time didn't know how to do it and i didn't realize google existed i remember getting out of that class i was super flustered i went out to the main like
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
We used to play this game where we'd pants each other at recess. Jesus fucking Christ. Yeah. They would go up to us, and if they tagged us, they would pants us. And it was funny. So I started doing that at lunch. Big auditorium, like a thousand people were in middle school and he's like getting chicken and I take his pants and throw him down and no underwear. His tiny little penis is out.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
The cops come in. The principal calls me into the room. Don't really, I'm sorry. I didn't realize he wasn't doing that. And then my parents like, yeah, you're going to Catholic school. So they put me in private school, which did work because then I became a lot more reserved and it's good education as well.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Her name was Guinevere, but Genevieve is close. I still think about her, too. Isn't that interesting? No.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What? No. I didn't make it this far on the Role Model podcast.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Well, then I just... I listen to podcasts in the jacuzzi, though, so I only do like 10 minutes, and then I get out, and I'll switch it. So I listen to the first 10 minutes of your podcast and then I switch it to music or something.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Which one do you go to? Aloe. I love the Aloe gym. I love the personalized workouts you get there when you do like a Pilates class. Do you go there? Yeah, sometimes. A good ice bath if I want to do an ice bath. Yeah, influencer gyms are so funny. There's like no check-in.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm the least athletic one at that gym, too. It's all, like, athletes and, like, beasts, and then just there's the one musician. What? Do I like that gym? I love that gym. It's a great gym.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
We're probably the best two people to give relationship advice to, right?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
like walkway of the campus. And I called my mom and I just started bawling. I was like, I'm going to fail out of college. I can't be a doctor. I don't know what I'm doing. And she's like, you can just go talk to the professor. What do you mean?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You give advice. I'm terrible at advice for this one.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Just laugh. Do you want to read it? Yeah. So this guy was supposed to be casual with laughs when I said my ass was fat and said back shots would go crazy. That's not a question. This is just a statement. This is just a story. That's awesome. Dude, I saw a joke the other day.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
She's like, you either have a fat ass or you're hitting back shots with someone who has such a thin ass that it sounds like they're taking a screenshot on their iPhone. I thought that was a funny tidbit. Well, that's good. That's awesome. I'm glad you have a fat ass.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm glad you're talking to a guy that's funny and has a sense of humor. And I hope those back shots were awesome. Let's move on to the next one. Okay. We're here all day, folks.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No. And I think, yeah, that would, no. That's... It's a no-go from me. Okay. What's her plan?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I prescribe you to delete his number and download Hinge and find new opportunities.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, or Vibrator. Figure it out. Okay. Just not this guy.

Most DJs are extremely approachable. And some of the softest motherfuckers I've ever met in my entire life. I was so scared of me. John Summit, for the first time, he came up to me and said he liked my music, gave me a hug. And I was like, what the fuck? This is awesome. This is who I want to be.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Because you're obviously a smart person. You didn't get here faking it. Not yet.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So let's flip that resolution. Okay. What would you prescribe her or him?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I see them. What's up? No, I just, you just meet people.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So it's not really a catfish. It's more of like a jellyfish here. Like a more rare, beautiful breed.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
A jellyfish? I don't know. I was trying to make a joke. I think.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Isn't that good? No, it's good. You met someone that was hot.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm going skiing in Utah with all my friends. So we're going to be skiing at the same exact time? Park City, yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
South Park. I watch YouTube documentaries on hackers. I watch people play video games. I watch people produce music.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Do you think that's good that if a lot of... Because cheating is so easy nowadays.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I watch Entourage. I'd love one. You would love one? Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You know what show I didn't think I would like watching? What? That I've seen recently is Mr. Beast's TV show.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yes, it's like Squid Games with thousands of people. And they have these little, like, micro characters that, like... are conceived and all these, it's insane.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I didn't think Mr. Beast, I didn't think he'd pull through with a HBO Max show like that and he did.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Do you think... If you have a kid, are you going to trust them with the pediatrician that you take them to in 10 years? Hoping your pediatrician wasn't using Quizlet through med school. Or do you think humans are smart and... Wait, you kind of gagged me a little bit.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Fair enough. I don't know, maybe, I don't know. Damn. You should get back into it.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What's your favorite movie of all time? Devil Wears Prada.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Honestly, Project X was one of my top favorite movies of all time. And Fight Club. I have multiple favorite movies. And Fight Club. Superbad.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So, like, I know the answer to this, but, like, Chris D'Elia, Shane Gillis, you think you wouldn't even smile?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
His crowd control, Chris D'Elia's is good. Do you watch a lot of comedy? As of recently, I've been watching Chris's crowd work specials.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Where he'll just go to a random town and just be like, fuck this town. And just have a tangent of things to say about it that people laugh at.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But he's generous. He'll go somewhere and just be like, what do people do here? Would you ever come out at one of my shows? I would love to. Are you currently on tour? I'm about to be on tour. How many stops are you doing? 40 something. What? That's insane. This year?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Do you run the same stand-up for that every time? Do you have, I'm assuming you have some crowd work stuff that you do as well.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
How do you, I personally feel drained from DJing. How do you keep up your energy and how do you keep up like, do you ever, do you feel your social battery, excuse me, is drained because of that?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I have to pee too. You have to pee too? Let's go. Okay. Let's go back to back.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You go to your doctor, he's like, what did you study? He's like, oh, PR.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
In your house. Did you say hi? You just have people just spawning in random rules.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, they said, how's the podcast going? And I said, it's going good. My name is Thaddeus. And they said, that's good. And then I said, we're an hour 30 in, and they're like, that's good. Did you actually see them in there? Yeah, they're two brunette girls.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No. When did you live alone? Two years ago, you think it's like your own personal space, you're going to be fine, but you come home from touring on a Sunday to an empty house. You know what I come home to now on a Sunday, Jake? What? I get out of my Uber, I pull open my door, and I hear, before even I pull open my door, I hear Miso, this little golden doodle whimpering.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
asking me stoked that i'm here and i open the door and he comes up and just jumps in my arms and i come home to that every sunday and my bong and my tv and my lacroix's do you love and my roommates who are always fun and making jokes there's nothing better i'm sure you feel the same way coming home yeah i've only been on one tour ever but i'm trying to think the last time i got home it was super exciting i was super happy to be home yeah
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Make me a playlist. Wait, what? I'll make you a playlist of house songs. Make me a playlist of Taylor Swift songs that I should listen to. We'll send it back to each other. Are you serious? Spotify? Spotify.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I need to know more about her discography, so I appreciate you.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
To be honest, not much from my point of view. I didn't learn anything. I learned a lot about you. What did you learn about me? That you're friends with my roommates.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, he quit and opened an avocado farm in San Diego. Well, he died.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. Yeah. I have a mom, a dad, two brothers, Joseph and Matthias. Matthias and Thaddeus. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
He's a big inspiration. Um, cause he had this DIY approach to his success. Right. Where he just did a bunch of work and you could see it paid off.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So seeing someone coming from him like a CPA and taking his average job and also working on music in his free time and grinding being successful for that was very useful for me. I look at him as a big inspiration and he has fun while doing it. So sick to see.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah. I have a song on his label wide open. Go stream it. It's a, It's out now, so.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, we did in, we've gone in Vegas so much where we both play the same residency at Live. Yeah. Wait. This year?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What was the first one? Both. First one's going to be a night show.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I'm so excited. I have a big redemption story too.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
The first time I played Coachella, I threw up, which was pretty embarrassing. On stage? Dude. We were – you've been plenty of times, I'm sure, I'm assuming. We're down in Indio, California, where it's very hot, very deserty, Palm Springs, and I'm not really used to that in front of the cold. Yeah.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
And so the whole day, I remember we woke up, and I was so just excited that I was playing Coachella in the first place that I didn't eat anything. I just started drinking tequila, as we do. As you do. But I didn't eat anything all day, and then I played the Doo Lab. As I'm playing the Doo Lab, I usually get a tiny bit nervous before the show. You can feel a little anxiety in your stomach.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But, like, it lasted for, like, 50 minutes. And I look, like, almost at the end of my set, I look at my manager, Eli. I'm like, dude, I need to throw up. And I have a pashmina around me. And I'm like, can I do it in here? He's like, don't fucking do that. And he takes me outside the stage. I go in a trash can and come back.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That wasn't the do-out this year. I think it's the Sahara.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, it wasn't at the Sahara Town. I remember seeing Tame Impala at one of the big outdoor stages, and that changed my life.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, Kevin's probably really soft-spoken. I'm trying to get better at being soft-spoken.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But I have a loud laugh. I love your laugh. I love your laugh.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Sometimes laughs are contagious. And sometimes people have this energy. And the first time meeting you, you kind of had that value.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
No, I have not. And that's like, it's hard for people to consume a whole album in terms of advertising.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
You do? She's my first crush. Do you ever, you've gone bowling, I'm assuming.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That's a dumb question to ask. Imagine someone who's never gone bowling. That'd be absurd. But I remember as a kid, I saw teardrops on my guitar. That song was playing and she was my first crush.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
This is going to get clipped, and I'm just going to get roasted by our fans.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That's the insane shit. You see what happens on the internet if you talk poorly about Taylor Swift?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That's a good point. We won't. I'd kill you. Yeah, fair enough. What's your favorite album? I don't know the albums. I don't know the names. Are you kidding? I'm not kidding.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What's the one with Love Story on it? Fearless. What's the one with, I love that song.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
That song changed my whole career, actually. I made a remix of it for TikTok, or not for TikTok, but in college. Wait, wait, wait.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
They'd push the camera away. There was one video of a girl pushing the camera away, and she, like, tripped over and fell. That was funny. It was during COVID, too, so everyone was locked up. But it was a good time because everyone was dancing. And, like, it was a pretty romantic song. People were getting married to it. That remix?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I always wonder like who's like getting married to my music or who's crushing to my music.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
So 2022. But that showed me you could have a successful song. That just showed me that. And also the power and beauty of TikTok.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Did you find yourself going back to the app and like trying to touch it and open it?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I found myself refreshing, like going back to it and clicking it. Didn't work.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But then I was really disappointed in myself. I felt like a brainless monkey. I was just going back and touching. I was like hoping this would work.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Shall we? Hot box episode? Your editor's shaking his head.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
What happens when you smoke and try to do a podcast that you tried?
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Yeah, I was watching them after you. I watched the Role Model one, Clips Were Going. I love that one. Yeah, that one's great.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
I get in these like, I don't know if this happens to you, but when I just smoke all day, people will text me. I just won't deal with anything. Just ignore everyone. My life kind of pauses.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
But no, it's not a good habit to get into. So I'm trying to cut that out.
Therapuss with Jake Shane
Session 56: Disco Lines
Since I was in the womb. My mom started. Oh, really? Yeah.
