14:30 for interview

[@DreamFerociouslyTV]

So happy to see Greg Kurstin on the show - he's one of my all-time favorite producers.

[@SacredGusto]

I used to be a strict student of hip hop and I still admire Jay Z's storytelling, Kanye's vision (All of the lights) etc but maturity has taught me that guys like Gregg and Beck are where it's at.

[@noisesoundtonevibe]

"A great string instrument, like a bassoon"... Dave, you crack me up. Great episode.

[@JaMal-ps1zh]

Great interview gents! Greg Kurstin really has a super musical intuition that like he said functions best in a reactive mode. Listen to his work with Tegan and Sara - Closer, a truly magical pop song. This is the song that really sold me on Greg Kurstin.

[@JoshFryer]

Best Pensado's Place to date. Love Greg and all the records he has worked on. Great show gang!

[@itsnotjames]

Been waiting for an interview with Greg, I'm really inspired by him. Thanks guys!

[@dilassantana6087]

I like how he said there is a win win when using the instrument on logic or having the instrument and using it.

[@Nautika-zt2pr]

Glad to here and see Greg at your show and of course Andrew in previous show, like to hear them. Thanks for your show, it's special.

[@tskolits]

I am so thankful for this show. It kept me going this week

[@sokasual100]

[@guacnchips]

[@dilassantana6087]

It’s very important to collaborate with producers
You will always learn something I mean always we are all unique. Have you guys noticed that we might like the genre (and still not like the same songs in that genre - with that I’m trying to say that we are all unique

[@joshslavin5103]

I love the underlaying themes of this show in general.

[@bereg2k]

[@west4coast77]

[@zandewilson]

29:25 I found that hilarious :) And I also don't like over-saturated stuff (harmonically). And I love what you said about Kurstin being a hell of a lot better, good to hear that sometimes

Dave can ask such great questions.

[@dilassantana6087]

Less is more big key ❤️👌🏻

[@MrGuitarist9891]

I really hope to see more ITL from Dave himself in the future.

[@dilassantana6087]

If you are a fan, be one.don’t be afraid to show it or tell the person. God will open doors for you

[@fundorinlive]

Listening how Pensado stutter is a real torture!

[@fabiogermanotto5465]

is the app only for apple devices?

[@sonrize7679]

Wtf? How did you not ask him about the band "Geggy Tah" working with Tommy Jordan. Or his solo "Action figure party" album and "Bird and the Bee" with Inara. Luke bop records. Would of been way more interesting interview to hear his thoughts on.

[@CrunchyBiscuitsBand]

[@adambradley3284]

41:07 Herb. "Most of the genius folk that sit to My left and to Dave's left." Hilarious. Is this stuff rehearsed or do they just walk all over each other and then let it go?
