Tim takes things in a different directly and expresses the inevitable, unseen difficulties of showing up to a gig as an opening act without a crew.

On episode one hundred and seventy seven of Holy Ghost Notes, Matt and Tim meet again at sunrise. Matt enjoys a cup of coffee while Tim struggles to string together coherent sentences. After a long stretch of avoiding coffee talk, they get it all out in what some might consider an adorable tangent. Then Matt dives into the drum topic, touching on how the freedom of being able to practice whenever he wants to despite it being in a hot (or cold) garage is more important to him. Next, Tim opens with a quote that he and Matt were chatting about a few weeks earlier, and talks about caring before sharing. Matt backs it up with an instance in his own life where he found that idea of personal investment to be meaningful.
