We have a new distraction for you. Our latest endeavor called 3 Chords & the Truth. As you'll see in the video, we don't really know how to describe it, but I suppose it is a video podcast.
Literally almost three people have asked that I start putting the rants and theories that I spout daily off the cuff in video form. Echo has graciously agreed to be apart of the train-wreck. The weekly videos will be found here at YesButNoButYes and on our new YouTube page YBNBY3ChordsandTruth.
We braved the current Manhattan heat-wave and went to Central Park to shoot an introduction. Echo Twittered early on while we were talking and I was annoyed the rest of the video.
I really am trying not to laugh when people say "swine flu."

looking forward to it...
btw, you guys sound exactly like I thought you would (that's a compliment).
And I like the new photos w/"you might like these stories"....very 'The Onion'.
But it's got the two guys in underwear photo...under the picture of you guys...further spreading Dave's crazy theory...
Methinks I saw you both holding hands at one time during the clip.
Johnny have you slimmed up a bit?
Dave, sometimes we see what we want to see....
fantasize much?
(I meant re: the hand holding)
The "LinkWithin" widget is something new I'm trying on a few posts here and there. Would be interested in hearing regular readers' thoughts.
Funny, Echowood was more metrosexual than I had thought, and Johnny Wright was less metro than anticipated. (Johnny, it mostly came down to "If he hangs out with Echo, he must be a little metro...")
I do like how you guys are aggressively unscripted though. It's like you don't even know what you're going to talk about when the camera rolls. Like you're just up there talking in circles with no clue what to say next. That type of stuff is harder to write than most people expect.
I look forward to the day when stills of this effort are used in a caption competition.
S.O. - I once had a visitor from California come to the ranch. As he leaned on the fence admiring the cattle, he was particularly fascinated by a very large bull lying in the pasture. He looked at me and asked why the cow was so much bigger than the other cows. I (being the joker that I am) told him that the bull was the only milk cow on the ranch. I told him that she was tame and would let him milk her if he wanted to. I told him that she was nice and he could pet her if he wanted to. He smiled, climbed the wooden fence, and began walking towards the bull. As he got closer to the old bull, the bull slowly stood up and revealed to the Californian his massive body. Instead of an udder, the Californian saw an impressive set of red angus balls. The bull snorted and the Californian turned and ran as fast as he could to safety behind the fence. I looked at him smiling and asked him if he would like to milk the cow. He just looked at his shoes and felt stupid. He should have known that it was a bull, because common sense told him that.
I guess the point that I'm trying to make is this. I am like that bull. You can joke and try to make the assumption that I am a cow. But common sense will always tell you that I'm a bull.
Yes Dave, I'm a bit lighter. About 20 pounds. How sweet of you to notice.
Jungle, I don't think anyone has ever accused me of metrosexuality. I'm wearing a shirt that says "I Am The Walrus" and hadn't showered. And, I swear this was the conversation before the camera rolled. "What are you going to say?" "I have no idea, are we going? Okay..."
You guys make a lovely couple. Who was holding the camera, btw?
This guy Raoul. He wasn't very good and we're going to fire him. He also looked us directly in the eyes which we'd explicitly told him not to do.
I can just see Echowood going all Christian Bale on Raoul...
"We're in the middle of a scene and he's looking me in the eyes! ! ! I can't work like this. It's amateur hour in here for 's sake! I told him a million times, but he keeps looking me in my eyes!"
Raoul very nearly got a beating on Bow Bridge for his shoddy work and disrespect. He is serving a two day suspension while Echo and I decide his fate.
What's interesting is that I typed that with a bunch of tags that just said "censored" for the profanity. The censored was stripped, and it's still perfectly readable. Goes to show how little linguistic use profanity really has.
So, when you read that comment feel free to insert your own F-Bombs.
I see good things ahead for these new video stars....but, I am a bit surprised not even a L77 tee, cap, panties.......I dunno, Scar, any thoughts?
Effen, just because you can't see their matching L77 thongs doesn't mean they're not wearing them....
*afraid to say anything...*
S.O, I am sure you are correct, BUT, I thought the whole point was for folks to "see" the ad, logo, etc.... therefore, I think they both should........No, wait.....ahhh, what the hell. Come on guys, show us those L77 thongs!!
(It'll make you famous)
Wait til sweeps month....
We'll pull out all the stops then. Thongs, clowns, jugglers, lighting Raoul on fire, that kind of thing.
Note to self: sign up for that Brazilian wax before sweeps.
if that ain't dedication, I'm not sure what is...
Uh?
J.W, have Raoul just get the audio of Echo's wax job. We don't need the video.
Okay, just let me jot this down in my trusty Composition Notebook, "Echo ... bikini wax ... audio only ... call in sick that day."
Got it.
he can just twitter about it...I don't need to hear the yelping and screeching.
Snacky, remember, we love O.P.P. (other people's pain)
Snacky?
i mighta missed the memo, but why is this called 3 chords and the truth?
No real reason for 3 Chords & the Truth, pally. I've used the phrase for years. It's an old blues expression. It's true in punk rock, too. Like the Ramones. Sometimes 3 chords and some piss and vinegar is all you need to make your point.
That, and I just like the sound of it.

Sorry, S.O.
I thought you read EVERY post here. I was referring to a comment I made on the belly flop video.
My bad!
Effen, I understood the comment but was confused by the new nickname!
Opps!
It's 6 o'clock here!
(Scar, spellcheck, please.)
i was wondrin' if it was a punk reference, but nice!
Johnny, I know the question is coming out of nowhere, but are you British?
No. My Grandparents were Scottish so I keep a few slang terms in vocab. British curse words are much more colorful. I get asked that all the time.
Sara Evans called. She wants her song title back.
Oops. Never heard of that girl. I haven't heard of most country artists.
Most will recognize the phrase because Bono says it during All Along the Watchtower on the Rattle and Hum record/film.
Johnny, Sara Evans is a fairly attractive female...you can pretend to like country just to watch her.
And if you do it with the speakers on mute, I won't rat you out.
That being said, we should all learn from the Oprah "O" fiasco and Google whatever our new venture is going to be to see what we're associating ourselves with (yeah, like someone on Oprah's staff didn't know that there was a German porn/fetish magazine by that name)
You've never heard Suds In The Bucket?
She's actually an awesome singer.
And more than fairly attractive.
Tempting, but I'll stick to Tom Waits.
Didn't realize he was your type...but okay.
Hey! Tom Waits is a handsome man!
