podcast.
Hello Lovejoy Nation podcast.

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,360
Hello Love and Joyers.
Facts are coming.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,480
Welcome to the Lovejoy Nation
podcast.

5
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,360
You may have noticed our intros
a little different this time

6
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,320
around and going forward.
What do you all think?

7
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,560
We're definitely keeping that.
That was amazing, woke up to

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,120
that.
You're using that every time.

9
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:37,120
Yeah, woke up to you sending me
that and it was like, Oh my God,

10
00:00:37,480 --> 00:00:43,320
that is fantastic.
I love how I asked you, I asked

11
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,280
your daughter to record your
reaction to it and your face did

12
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,200
not change.
You just.

13
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,880
Just mouth open.
Yeah, and you just turned

14
00:00:53,880 --> 00:01:02,400
around?
Oh chuffed up nuts with that.

15
00:01:04,879 --> 00:01:09,600
I know, got to think, got to
thank Joe for saying.

16
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Facts are coming, Yeah, we need
to separate that.

17
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,080
So instead of having a new
section, we've got a facts are

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,040
coming section.
Yeah, so instead of Lovejoy band

19
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,760
news like the old days.
Yeah, yeah, acts are coming.

20
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,800
And then we do our news.
I like it.

21
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,520
I like it.
Let's do it.

22
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,520
It was so great because.
We we were so nervous to ask

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,360
that was in Philly at the meet
and greet and Angie and I were

24
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,560
so nervous to ask them to do
this thinking it was like such a

25
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,240
huge ask.
I even said to them you can say

26
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,360
no if you want if this is like
too big an ass.

27
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,400
I exactly what I would have
said.

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,640
Any chance of a little you can
say no, Yeah.

29
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,360
No hesitation, grabbed the
phone.

30
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,120
I went right into it.
No one take.

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,600
They didn't even.
Look at each other.

32
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,360
Yeah, there was no question.
It was it was so kind to them.

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,880
I'm so grateful.
It's amazing.

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,479
We.
Were so chuffed.

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,640
Yes, we were.
We were so chuffed that

36
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:17,480
apparently we totally did not
notice that stealth birthday

37
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:23,240
greeting that came right after.
That that's something else that

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,640
we'll insert here into the
podcast.

39
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,840
And you would you like to tell
the story behind our.

40
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,120
Yeah.
Birthday to when you would So my

41
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:38,000
daughter was also at the VIP in
Philly and right after Leslie

42
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
and I were done getting our plug
for the pod from the band, we

43
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,800
were apparently so excited that
we completely missed the fact

44
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,640
that Pebble had the band record
a birthday wish for Leslie and I

45
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:54,440
because of course we share the
same birthday and I I don't know

46
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,360
how she did it, but she told
them who it was for.

47
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,240
They're like, OK, OK, so we're
going to wait until they leave

48
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,760
the room.
So we left the room and they're

49
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,360
like, all right, OK, let's go.
And then Joe was like, all

50
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,000
stamped up, trying to pretend
like, you know, so we couldn't

51
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,240
see what was going on.
But best birthday present ever?

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,200
Oh my God, yeah.
I hope you've been for birth.

53
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,880
It's.
The 2nd of December right now

54
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:25,920
and we want to say happy
birthday to to both.

55
00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:30,640
I hope, I hope you're you're
birthed.

56
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:36,720
Yes.
For birth and that face, of

57
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,200
course face.
I don't think we've ever seen

58
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,320
that face for a moment before.
Yeah.

59
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Excited about the intro for the
pod.

60
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360
The birthday greeting was
freaking amazing.

61
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,360
I'd like to have them both up on
the Love Join Nation TikTok.

62
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,880
But yeah, we'll pop up in this
podcast episode as well.

63
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Absolutely.
Just amazing.

64
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
Just absolutely chuffed.
Really, really, really was.

65
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,280
Very exciting and it's better
than just hearing my voice at

66
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600
the beginning of each episode.
So I love it.

67
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Can't, can't love it anymore.
So there's that, and Spotify Rap

68
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,240
came out this week everyone's
very excited to see.

69
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,960
Are there any surprises?
Did you find anything a surprise

70
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,360
on yours?
Oh, Dave, you don't have

71
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,400
Spotify?
Rap.

72
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,200
I don't use Spotify, I use
Amazon.

73
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,240
I was in the 1% club from
Amazon.

74
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,200
Yeah, I don't really go for this
racks thing.

75
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,480
I really don't, but I was
disappointed in the pair of you.

76
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,560
Pointed to I was the top, I was
#33 in top global listeners of

77
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,200
Lovejoy.
And I was like really just 33.

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,680
I really got to walk in for next
year.

79
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,880
You know, I was I wasn't that
good.

80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,800
I was what, .0003 It was
whatever you were.

81
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,960
I had a three instead of a 1.
So I would say you did pretty

82
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:06,600
amazing.
Well you.

83
00:05:06,840 --> 00:05:11,760
Were in the top 100 I think.
Yes, I squeaked in the top 100.

84
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,560
I was like 90 something. 93 Was
it you?

85
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,800
Know I was happy with that,
yeah. 7 Was it just kidding?

86
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,040
Just kidding.
It's very clear.

87
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,560
No.
It's too easy.

88
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,640
Yeah.
So that was fun to see.

89
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,640
And it was fun that we made it
on some people's top podcast.

90
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,080
Yeah.
Absolutely.

91
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,680
I was.
I must admit I was more

92
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,480
interested in the podcast
results for that for for us.

93
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:42,560
On whatever platform you're
listening on, if you were a top

94
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:47,760
listener, let us know because
we're curious to see who's been

95
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,360
been listening.
Yeah, let us know.

96
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,840
We're at it loud and proud.
Come on.

97
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,520
Absolutely.
Absolutely.

98
00:05:55,520 --> 00:06:02,200
I mean, you know, the results we
had, I was, oh, for literally,

99
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,720
well, eleven months, just under
a year, we've been going 15

100
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,800
episodes and we're in the top
25% of our genre.

101
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,240
Yeah, Spotify videos top 20
within the top 25%.

102
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,400
And we haven't even doing videos
that long.

103
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,000
That's true only like the time
or less. 55 countries worldwide.

104
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,800
Wow.
That's.

105
00:06:28,840 --> 00:06:30,800
Insane I.
Couldn't.

106
00:06:30,840 --> 00:06:31,840
Even.
Name that thing.

107
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,400
I know.
Bonjour, Sava.

108
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,120
V Gates.
Yeah, no, I didn't even know

109
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:47,160
there were 55 countries.
So let Wilbur hear you say.

110
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,320
I'm just kidding.
Well, he's not listening.

111
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,800
I didn't say that.
Well, we don't know.

112
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,240
We don't know.
Now he might.

113
00:06:56,280 --> 00:07:00,040
Be Oh yeah, I guess he could be.
That's a little scary.

114
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,520
Anyway, yes, that we our stats
were pretty cool.

115
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,040
So thanks guys.
We appreciate you listening.

116
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,440
We really do.
Really rarely do.

117
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,800
Really do.
It's like.

118
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,120
Mind blowing.
Leave a comment.

119
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,800
Crazy.
And if we're talking about

120
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Spotify Wrapped, how about that
Lovejoy video?

121
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,960
Guys?
Man, freaking tastic.

122
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,160
It's been 60 weeks.
If you are seeing this, I am

123
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,560
dead.
Hi there everyone.

124
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Thank you.
Well, not everyone.

125
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,720
Hello, the best people.
Yeah, thank you for if you're

126
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,520
watching this video right now,
you have listened many and you

127
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
have listened great.
The entity and quality things we

128
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,960
like in return.
The secret new songs to come.

129
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,400
Wow.
New songs If we fail to bring

130
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,920
you new songs, get Mark.
Well, and as Dave is shown with

131
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,560
his four Fingers for you audio
listeners, he is mimicking what

132
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Ash did in the video. 4 new
songs are coming this way or our

133
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,960
way.
So what do we all speculate

134
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,200
those four new songs might be?
Do you know what?

135
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,400
I don't care because they're
going to play one of them at a

136
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,160
gig at least.
He's, oh, he's like beaming

137
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,920
right now that he's going to get
an exclusive on us over on the

138
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,280
other side of the pond.
I see.

139
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,440
I see.
That just means that once

140
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
they're done over on your side
of the pond, Dave, that they'll

141
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,039
have to come back here so they
can play those songs here.

142
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,680
So yes, I mean, hey.
The thing is, sounds terribly

143
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,400
known as they will.
They will.

144
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,160
I think they'll be back here in
2026.

145
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,520
I really do, actually.
Yeah.

146
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,080
What do we think is going to be
on it?

147
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,720
Obviously wasted summer, right?
I've been hearing alphabet as a

148
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,040
possibility.
Yeah, because originally Ash

149
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600
said to me, 13 tracks,
obviously.

150
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,360
Ash said to me.
When are you going?

151
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,280
To run out of content from that
meeting.

152
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,680
Never the answer.
He's never going to run out.

153
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,640
There was supposed to be 13, So
what, two were removed, whether

154
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:26,640
that's, I'm going to say working
title on Alphabet because we

155
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:31,720
don't know the full title and
Wasted Summer and two new songs,

156
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,480
Yeah.
I'm psyched, Will.

157
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,600
Alluded to snake oil in a TikTok
video.

158
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,800
So I don't know.
And I believe Ash has said that

159
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000
that's one of his favorite songs
that's been scrapped over the

160
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,400
years.
So we'll see.

161
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,160
And we've heard that there was,
I think we've heard, I don't

162
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:52,920
know some, I've heard some
gossip on the tour on the queue

163
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,720
from People deluxe album.
I think that also may have been

164
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:02,080
mentioned on the Reddit.
Well, this, this is what I've

165
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,400
kind of said all all along and I
think we've we've certainly

166
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:09,800
discussed it off the pod.
You know, the first release was

167
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:11,360
always going to be a limited
run.

168
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360
So then to come back and re
release it, they needed

169
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:20,520
something else new, single new
this new that whatever it was.

170
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:31,880
So clearly it's going to be a
deluxe version and hopefully

171
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:38,360
it's going to be promoted,
pushed out really, really well,

172
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,960
a lot lot better than it's
dropping on our website.

173
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,200
You know what?
I.

174
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,960
Mean right.
It was like baby steps.

175
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,360
Yeah.
Dipping their toes into it.

176
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,440
Yeah.
Yeah.

177
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,320
But deluxe album, I've always
thought all the way along, ever

178
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,840
since Ash said it was going to
be.

179
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,440
He didn't say it to me.
He said it on the.

180
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,600
Oh, OK.
On the Reddit.

181
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,520
He keeps referring to it with
that asterisk, but he keeps

182
00:11:08,560 --> 00:11:10,320
using.
Exactly.

183
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:19,000
And that, that goes for we have
plans to bring out more formats

184
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:22,200
of the album.
People have been asking for CDs.

185
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,480
And stuff and.
That was a few months ago.

186
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:30,800
So the Asterix album Asterix
equals Deluxe, extended,

187
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,680
whatever you want to call it.
Yeah.

188
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:34,640
Yep.
Absolutely.

189
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,600
I just was thinking before I
lose the thought.

190
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,440
I've been noticing a trend on
TikTok with the whole rap thing.

191
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Just quickly going back.
I don't know if you've caught

192
00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:47,040
it, Andrew Dave.
I think it's cool because it

193
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,400
seems to be going a little bit
viral is kids will be posting

194
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:57,520
video footage from their show of
a song and it'll still say

195
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,240
according to Rapt Spotify Rapt.
I've only listened to the Fall

196
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,400
116 times, but I could swear it
was 117.

197
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:08,960
And then they play the video of
the fall from their gig.

198
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,560
I haven't.
Seen that, but that's cool, I

199
00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:14,760
like it.
Yeah, it's all as I scroll

200
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,240
through, that's like all I'm
seeing.

201
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,200
And I've.
I've been reposting because I

202
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,880
think that's cool.
And I just like, that's fun.

203
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,320
Keep spreading the word about
the shows, you know, like

204
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:27,040
putting it out in the universe
about how much fun they were.

205
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,160
And yeah, just loud and proud.
And I'm loving this stage rat.

206
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,560
It's it's gratifying and I'm
sure it is for the band as well.

207
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,480
So I just want to give a shout
out to that.

208
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,960
Yeah.
To maybe you do posts like that

209
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,680
and sort of get try to get that
going because I like that.

210
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,680
I like that idea.
It's you know, it's easy

211
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:49,200
content.
It's A and it's a great year to

212
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,560
do it for love joint we're.
Absolutely.

213
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,920
To this year with with all of
that so great stuff.

214
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,840
Just want to recap the one
simple tour that has just

215
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,640
wrapped up as well.
Speaking of wrapped it.

216
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,720
Wrapped Did you have a good
time?

217
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Did you have the best time?
I like not really.

218
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,160
October 18th to November 26th
the tour ran and you can

219
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,200
actually check out the setlist
from all the gigs at Setlist dot

220
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,480
FM.
And I had the privilege of being

221
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,440
at their last show, the New York
show, where they surprised the

222
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,120
audience by saying they were
were going to perform the most

223
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,080
songs they've ever performed in
a show and that, yeah.

224
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,640
So I was lucky for that.
So you can see that setlist up

225
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,080
there as well.
So I felt bad because Mark was

226
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,000
sick.
He was so sick that he didn't do

227
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,560
the meet and greet for that that
gig or that show.

228
00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,920
And I just looked over at his
face.

229
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,840
As soon as Will's made the
announcement, we're going to do

230
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,920
the most songs we've ever.
Played at a game.

231
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:57,600
Oh, he's probably like, why?
Why we decide to do this today?

232
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,240
I don't know how you make it
even.

233
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,720
You would not know he was sick.
Yeah, it was amazing.

234
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,800
It was a blast.
But wasn't Will sick at some

235
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,840
point as well?
He was, yeah.

236
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,760
And then my daughter got a cold
and she's like, I bet I got it

237
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,360
from Will.
That's what he's never standing

238
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,240
at the front.
He says something slur and his

239
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,720
germs all over you.
You're screaming now with your

240
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,360
mouth open, touching all these.
Oh.

241
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,120
Come on.
Right, right.

242
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,040
Right.
Right, right.

243
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,600
Well, when, when they played the
Bottom Lounge in summer of 23,

244
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,560
Ash, Ash told us that he had
food poisoning.

245
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,600
I cannot imagine playing a show
with food poisoning.

246
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,080
I, I I don't know how they do it
but.

247
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,240
And not have like a feeding bag
around your mountain case, yeah.

248
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,800
That just sounds miserable, but
I guess can we talk about the

249
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:58,080
openers though for a second?
The two bands that they had?

250
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,080
I don't know who got these guys,
the Criticals and the Montanes,

251
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,880
but holy cow, big up to whoever
got these bands because they

252
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,320
were both fantastic, weren't
they?

253
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,800
I thought they were great, so
good.

254
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,880
And you saw the criticals 2
times I think, right?

255
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,840
I saw the criticals twice and
the Montanes twice.

256
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,440
They're so good.
And the Montanes had this great

257
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,520
song called Prague and I was
trying to find it on Spotify to

258
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,440
come to find out it's like so
new.

259
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,120
It's not even recorded yet.
So oh, wow.

260
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:39,080
Have to wait a while for that.
But yeah, it's they were really

261
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,040
good.
And both fun to watch.

262
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,960
It was fun to watch, fun and
entertaining the whole time.

263
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,760
And you could tell from their
socials that they were super

264
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,400
excited to be on the tour, which
it's a lot, I think to all of us

265
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,640
really, really does.
And it seems like.

266
00:15:55,640 --> 00:16:00,160
They both have solid fan bases
as well that were, yes, excited.

267
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Yeah.
And it was neat to see,

268
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,480
especially for me, the Montanes,
to see them three times, you

269
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,080
know, especially by the the
third show, like songs are

270
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720
familiar and you're like you
maybe you don't know the words,

271
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,720
but you like know the harp, the
melody.

272
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,400
And yeah, it was like fun to.
Hear like, oh, that one, I love

273
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,720
that one, you know, So yeah,
definitely going on on Spotify.

274
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,280
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, these are bands, if they

275
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,120
came around to my local area, I
would definitely go see them,

276
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,880
you know, on their own.
So fantastic job whoever lined

277
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,560
them up.
They were perfect, a way to get

278
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,080
the crowds amped up prior to yes
coming out as well.

279
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,080
And it yeah.
Absolutely.

280
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,960
A perfect fit, a really great.
Fit, absolutely.

281
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,720
I wonder if the singer from the
criticals, though, gets really

282
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,720
tired of being compared to Mick
Jagger.

283
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,080
I mean, it's like all, it's all
I could see and here was Mick

284
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,320
Jagger.
I mean, I guess if you're going

285
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,000
to be a front man, it's not the
worst person you get compared

286
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,480
to, but.
Right.

287
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,079
No, absolutely not.
Yeah.

288
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,280
Yeah.
But anyway, openers, fantastic.

289
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:16,960
I love them.
I also want to quick mention the

290
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:22,079
new member then, well the
accompanying members or

291
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,880
musicians to Lovejoy on this
tour, Kevin Bernstein on

292
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,880
keyboards and Alan Osmatzen, who
we've known from before with

293
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,000
trumpet, but he also played
guitar on this tour.

294
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:39,840
And so that was fun to see and
to see their joy and the

295
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,080
interactions during the shows
was a lot of fun.

296
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,360
It's good to see.
Good to see them in a lot of the

297
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:51,400
photos as well.
You know, when the the group

298
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240
have gone out somewhere, they've
all gone along.

299
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they.
Were poor.

300
00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,280
It was nice, cool.
I had heard Alan had his own

301
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:06,080
band, I think in LA called Fax
Trod Trod like a play on tax

302
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,040
fraud.
So I don't know if that's still

303
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:13,880
cooking, but he's so he's so
multi talented and I know Kevin

304
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,000
is too.
So I'm I'm hoping to see Kevin

305
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,320
back on the next tour.
He's obviously he's, you know,

306
00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:24,640
musically great and he seemed to
fit in really well with the

307
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,440
whole vibe of the group so.
Right.

308
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,680
And now an integral part with
this new sound of love.

309
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Yeah, they need all that.
Can Allen play the keyboard I.

310
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,600
Thought he could.
Yeah, yeah, he's played keyboard

311
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:40,720
before.
Yeah.

312
00:18:41,360 --> 00:18:44,920
Because it just makes me wonder
whether he's going to take a

313
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:52,000
flight to the UK or not.
Oh, Oh well, you mean.

314
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,920
Allen and Kev both.
You mean because they can't.

315
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,960
You can't do all the parts.
No.

316
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,560
Because you've been a native
guitarist.

317
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,280
Kevin had just returned from the
UK.

318
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
I'd saw on his Instagram stories
he was playing with somebody

319
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,440
who's playing with the band.
And yeah, London, I think it

320
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,720
was.
So who knows, Maybe, maybe

321
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,840
they'll both go over there.
It'd be great for you guys,

322
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,280
yeah.
Did they have?

323
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,320
Wait, who played at the London
gig then?

324
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,360
Did you have no extra?
Yeah, no one.

325
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,560
It was just the no trumpet, no
trumpet because we had we had to

326
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:36,080
do the trumpet.
Nice.

327
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Oh, but you didn't know this,
but what did they do some old

328
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,480
songs to?
Yeah, because you didn't know

329
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,080
the song to do the trumpet on
the new song.

330
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,440
No.
So a couple of the old songs.

331
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,680
I couldn't remember what the if
they played him.

332
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,760
Yeah, he stood there, he said.
You all know this, but I need to

333
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,640
do the trumpet.
Oh, that's cool.

334
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,840
OK, you probably said that that
last episode, but it's been

335
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,880
quite a whirlwind, so busy.
And a little kiddie.

336
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,640
You also had the amazing visuals
of Misha, otherwise known as

337
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,200
Yovazal.
They.

338
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,240
Look.
From an outsider's point of

339
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,840
view, they look amazing.
Like clips, sections, whatever.

340
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,600
They look amazing and I can't
wait.

341
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:27,880
It really helped with the story
of the songs and just the

342
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,200
imagery, you know, with the
words that are being supposed

343
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,840
sung.
Mind blowing.

344
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,080
Like, yeah, I look, it's
exciting when you get to know

345
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,560
the visuals so you know the song
when you start seeing them pop

346
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:44,280
up like white shark at me.
Yeah, I guess if you see them

347
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,680
more than once, so the first
time you see them you might be

348
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:53,880
watching Ash or or whoever and
and you miss, it's like watching

349
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,400
a film and and you miss a
particular visual.

350
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,360
So the next time you go and see
them, you're looking at the

351
00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:03,400
visuals more rather than the
band.

352
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,000
Maybe.
So you pick it up maybe?

353
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:07,400
Yeah, I.
Know that's where you get so

354
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,160
exhausted after a show because
you're jumping, you're singing,

355
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,640
you're watching the musicians
and you're watching the visuals

356
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,960
and you're trying to take
pictures and videos now and

357
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,880
then.
There were a few that I thought

358
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,320
were really like, that really,
really stood out for me in

359
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,120
monochrome.
That black and white scene when

360
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,120
you're in a room and then you
start going down the hallway and

361
00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:35,680
it has those, it's like a, a
cross and a square, maybe in a

362
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,520
circle, like in frames on the
walls.

363
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,400
And then there's, and I think
there's two chairs.

364
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,840
One of them is standing upright
and the other one is tipped

365
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,360
over.
It reminds me of this really

366
00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:52,000
weird video game that I've
watched Pebble play before.

367
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,480
I think it's called subliminal.
And it's just this weird kind of

368
00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,160
creepy.
It's not like like traditionally

369
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,600
creepy, but it's just kind of an
odd sort of video game.

370
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,160
And then the way everything just
bursts.

371
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,160
Yes, yes.
And the way everything just

372
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:13,440
bursts into color at one point
and come and touch haven't

373
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,520
touched is so cute, Right.
You've got the bee and the

374
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,080
flower in the cemetery.
Then all the Venus flytraps come

375
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,760
and they're, like trying to
trying to get the bee.

376
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,360
Super cute.
Yeah.

377
00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:28,080
And.
Then fatal love it, the man with

378
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,480
the pet paddles on his chest
trying to revive.

379
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Yes, yes.
And in White Shark Cafe, the

380
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,400
laptop, the laptop with the
popcorn, you know, it's like

381
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,160
that phrase.
It's like that phrase that

382
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
people use on the Internet.
If something is something juicy

383
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,680
is going down in the comments.
Wait, let me get my popcorn.

384
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,880
Yeah.
Yeah.

385
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:50,160
And then you like, let's.
It's totally what that song is

386
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,400
about.
And Joe says something at the

387
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,200
end there when that's.
Going down the laptop, Yeah,

388
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,600
yeah.
You got to see it yourself,

389
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,920
Dave, to understand.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

390
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,200
I'm I'm.
It's great.

391
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,160
It's.
Really looking forward.

392
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,440
So good.
A shout out to it looks like his

393
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:19,720
name is Socks on Instagram SOCXS
He did lighting and visuals for

394
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,880
the show's guessing he worked
closely with Misha and actually

395
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,080
his post had a lot of like the
bright lights like were art, you

396
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,280
know, work on the stage.
So I believe he had his hand in

397
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,560
that.
He wrote a very nice post on

398
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,240
Instagram.
I just want to read really quick

399
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,720
because I thought it was sweet,
dare I say brought a tear to my

400
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,920
eye.
This person wrote.

401
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,640
And just like that, the tour
with Lovejoy is over.

402
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,840
We did 27 shows in 19 States and
parts of Canada, traveling with

403
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,680
a family of 13 in a fourty 5
foot tour bus.

404
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,880
They met so many great people
and Lovejoy has one of the best

405
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,040
fan bases I've ever worked with.
I'm thankful to be a part of a

406
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,320
talented team, each giving their
all to making every show a

407
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,760
memorable experience for the
fans we help put on the show

408
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,280
with sleepless nights, near
impossible turnarounds, tight

409
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440
deadlines, sickness, missed
meals, constant work.

410
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,320
But what we get in return is
smiles, laughter, tears, bonds,

411
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,400
and memories will be fondly
remembered and make it all worth

412
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:20,880
it.
Every show was somehow better

413
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,120
than the last, yet so unique.
I'm not sure I could pick a

414
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:26,440
favorite.
I can't wait for what's next.

415
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:34,160
I.
Never heard of this guy, didn't

416
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,120
know anything about him until
you mentioned him just before we

417
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:40,120
recorded.
I honestly thought it said Red

418
00:24:40,120 --> 00:24:43,040
socks down there.
I've just sat there and listened

419
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:44,240
to that.
Wonderful.

420
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,960
Actually, yes, and I forgot
Christian.

421
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Christian who worked as the back
line, He which be the one to

422
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,480
hand Wilbur his guitars when he
needed to switch out for

423
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,200
different songs.
He wrote a lovely message as

424
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,920
well.
If you don't mind, I would like

425
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,440
to share this as well because
I've just found it.

426
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Because I feel like these things
will get buried and no one will

427
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,720
see them and I think they're
worth hearing and maybe having

428
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,360
it read helps it absorb better.
So he wrote this.

429
00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,280
Love is an engine.
I have spent a large chunk of

430
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,600
time with some incredible people
in the past few months and made

431
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,960
countless memories.
My senses were overwhelmed in

432
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,880
the most beautiful way so many
times.

433
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,440
I truly felt lucky every day of
my life during this entire

434
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,760
stretch.
Travel is a passion fueled

435
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,520
endeavor and my passion burns
for extraordinary people.

436
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,240
Mesmerizing sights, excessively
indulgent tastes, and jarring

437
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,800
sounds.
I have experienced an abundance

438
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:44,480
of each that would satisfy a
lifetime for most in the past

439
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,160
month alone.
I have adoration for every

440
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,200
single human in these
photographs that would do

441
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,560
anything in my ability to
sustain their dreams as they

442
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,640
have made mine possible.
He continues on further and

443
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,200
further.
But I thought that that was just

444
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,080
worth a mention.
And Christian, you are amazing

445
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,520
because that's a tough job.
That's a kind of like and you

446
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,760
know, as the time goes by and
you get used to the order of

447
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,680
things.
I don't know, but it just seems

448
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,200
like perhaps even a thankless
job.

449
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,400
But getting to know him and his
account, I feel like, yeah, you

450
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,000
know him as a person, not just
like some crew guy, you know,

451
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,400
like.
He was always on his toes.

452
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,680
I mean, you like he was always
right there.

453
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,800
One thing that has me
flabbergasted, how in the hell

454
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,000
do you fit 13 people on that
bus?

455
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,440
How is it like Jenga?
Do they like this way and that

456
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:32,920
way?
How?

457
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,240
An Ella, be the only girl, God
bless her.

458
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,480
Oh, no kidding.
Oh, she deserves a medal for

459
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:40,880
that.
Oh my gosh.

460
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,600
Actually commented on that, this
post.

461
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,640
I said what a ragtag group of
people you're on bus with.

462
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,520
Yeah, because that is wild.
And they didn't know each other

463
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,480
before, a lot of them, right?
Yeah, absolutely.

464
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:59,560
Yeah.
I googled the bus make and I

465
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
wanted to have a look at the
layout because I thought there

466
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,040
was going to be about 8 or 9
people.

467
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Right.
Yeah.

468
00:27:07,120 --> 00:27:10,640
But but 13 and it's just.
Where do they go?

469
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,600
Bottom bunk.
Middle bunk.

470
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,520
Top bunk.
You can't tell me Will sleeps in

471
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,720
there.
I mean, it was his long ass, I

472
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:25,080
mean.
Where does he sleep?

473
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:27,040
He does not sleep in a regular
book bed.

474
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,480
How can he?
What do they do?

475
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:29,880
Cut holsters?
Feet.

476
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,520
Well, isn't there like.
One bigger bed, like in the back

477
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,240
of those usually.
Well, that's.

478
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,520
That's like the sofa, isn't it?
That's where they all sit and

479
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:42,000
they just sit around the sofa.
So whether he kicked there or,

480
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,440
or whether he, you know, whether
he just.

481
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,000
Call me parasocial all they
want, I wasn't looking up the

482
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,880
tour bus in the sleeping range.
No, I would see this is the sort

483
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,400
of things I I like.
I was so intrigued.

484
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,720
Yeah, Dave, we're just taking
the piss.

485
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,320
I know.
Oh look, you're using.

486
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,360
English.
Colloquialisms.

487
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,440
Now.
Me, mouse.

488
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,320
Yes.
OK.

489
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,040
Tell us about this boss, please.
I'm listening.

490
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,160
We're listening.
And I was just looking, looking

491
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:20,560
it up because I was so intrigued
as to the size of these things.

492
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,640
I mean, you're at a trailer on
the back as well.

493
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,880
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe we'll slept in the

494
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,800
trailer.
No windows?

495
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,440
What the heck?
You don't need windows when

496
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,880
you're asleep.
But no.

497
00:28:35,120 --> 00:28:36,440
Better treatment than that,
yeah.

498
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:42,040
The buses look amazing but it
it's so cramped.

499
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,400
Must be.
I don't know how they do it.

500
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:51,680
I mean one maybe one toilet
between 13 I 14 if you with.

501
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,280
Like illness and stuff, right?
14 if you include the bus

502
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:00,160
driver.
And again, why Elodie deserves a

503
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:04,040
gold medal.
Can you imagine sharing bathroom

504
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,560
facilities with 12 guys?
Leslie, I would die.

505
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,320
Real for two months.
Yeah, anyway.

506
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,320
Can you imagine all like the
times they stop at rest stops

507
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,400
and stuff of people have no idea
that they just see this group

508
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,520
walk in.
Oh my gosh.

509
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:30,000
While they're still like, you
know, sort of semi starting out

510
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,920
and maybe not recognize their
where they go yet.

511
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,200
I wanted to enlist you and your
English accent to read Wilbur's

512
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:42,120
story, Wilbur's story post tour
because it was heartfelt and and

513
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,880
it had some a bit of news at the
end as well.

514
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:49,120
Facts are coming, but I would
like to hear it in your voice,

515
00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:55,400
Dave, since you've got that
English accent so you can it'll

516
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:02,800
sound best coming from you.
So long was the tour and now we

517
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,520
are LED back to where we began.
It never feels right, it's

518
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:13,040
always abrupt and jarring, going
from months of living on a bus,

519
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,240
meeting 10s of thousands of
amazing people who have

520
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:22,200
connected over our music and
then blinking and it's time to

521
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,280
go home.
The plaster is never peeled,

522
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:31,960
torn off aggressively by a small
gremlin I call Grabo.

523
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,760
Suddenly I have to go from being
around a daily party of

524
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:40,640
creatives and adrenaline, then
back to my old high octine

525
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,920
activities like thoughtfulness
and sitting still.

526
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,640
I used to really struggle with
it.

527
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,560
Touring was frequently something
I had to emotionally reckon

528
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,920
with, but this time it's
different.

529
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,800
The audiences we met, the people
we got to speak to face to face,

530
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,360
I've never quite connected in
the same way.

531
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,200
This wasn't an accident or
something, something catalyzed

532
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,440
by the band.
It was entirely you, the people

533
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,440
at our shows.
America was different this time.

534
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:22,360
It was more substantial, and it
was deeper.

535
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,600
I'd never really cared about
people filming Netgeeks on their

536
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:32,680
phones before, but I was still
blown away by how many few

537
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:38,280
people were filming instead, how
many people were dancing and

538
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:41,000
singing.
America wasn't a backdrop for a

539
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:45,640
performance this time.
It felt like a super high energy

540
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,800
space we were permitted to share
with you, if only for an hour or

541
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,200
two.
If you came to any of the shows

542
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,640
on this tour, then you directly
help build something I will

543
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,400
never forget.
Thank you.

544
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,560
Thank you bozos.
Thank you for coming to see our

545
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,040
debut album performed in full
and thank you for hungrily

546
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,720
demanding more.
You will get more.

547
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:20,360
Anyway, enough with the SAP back
to work. 2 new videos in

548
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,280
December.
Yeah.

549
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,280
Dave, you're reading that.
I mean, that'd big difference.

550
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,560
Actually.
I do think when you read these

551
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,280
things out loud, you capture.
Them.

552
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,240
Yeah, I do.
When you read the two from

553
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:39,640
there's the support and artists.
I'd never heard them before and

554
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:44,880
they were really nice, so
there's some absolute fantastic

555
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,080
feedback from supporting artists
and Will himself.

556
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Well, I remember Will's saying a
couple of years ago that they'd

557
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,800
always felt like America was a
place where they were

558
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,280
performing.
It was more of a performance and

559
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:06,440
the UK was more of like a party,
like the show was a party,

560
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,200
right?
And here they were just standing

561
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:14,840
up there performing for people.
So I was really, really thrilled

562
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,080
to see that that had kind of
changed for him.

563
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,200
You know, obviously as an
American, like that's fantastic.

564
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,320
I'm, I'm, I'm so glad.
Does that make you want to come

565
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:28,560
back more?
Perfect.

566
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,400
Exactly.
No.

567
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:35,240
But yeah, I get you.
Great sentiments.

568
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:40,120
Yeah, you know, we can have two
more videos before Christmas.

569
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,760
Well these videos are like his
Wilbur Soot videos I'm

570
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:49,040
imagining, not music videos.
Yeah, it's either going to be a

571
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,800
behind the scenes or a Wilbur or
something like, do you know what

572
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,680
I mean One.
Of each.

573
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,720
I hadn't even thought it.
Could be, it could be, could be

574
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:01,200
two behind the scenes, it could
be, you know, I mean, Elodie's

575
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,160
got a lot of work to do to get 2
videos out before Christmas.

576
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,320
Well, I was thinking more like
his Wilbur Soot geography sort

577
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,120
of things.
Yeah, but maybe like one of each

578
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:13,400
sort of thing.
Could be.

579
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,840
We're always just speculating
here, so we don't always have

580
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:24,480
facts coming you'd guesses.
No, yeah, they'll definitely be

581
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,440
back in the US next year
sometime.

582
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:30,560
I love that.
I love that optimism.

583
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:38,520
I'm, I'm calling it every single
time that they've come here and

584
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,040
they've left, I'm like, oh, they
won't be back for so long.

585
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,800
This is so sad.
And then they're back so much

586
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:50,960
sooner than I'd ever expected.
I'm going to summer or fall.

587
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,480
I really.
I wouldn't be surprised, yeah, I

588
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:59,440
wouldn't be surprised if they
fly across for a festival or

589
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,880
two.
Yeah, that's what our friend on

590
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,560
the cue.
He was saying.

591
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,280
They've got to do festivals
because they've got to get

592
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,200
exposure.
They got to get this album out

593
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,640
there.
They need to expose to more

594
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:15,480
people and new audiences.
And yeah, I agree with that as

595
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,760
well.
So I've already been, like,

596
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,080
scoping out every time there's a
new lineup announcement for, you

597
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,160
know, summer shows that they're
already being dropped.

598
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,800
But they can always have it
later, too.

599
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:32,440
It's true, I personally do not
like festivals but it makes so

600
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,880
much sense for them to do
festivals and if they are at a

601
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,040
festival I will go to a festival
despite the fact that I hate it

602
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,520
so.
But it's where they need to be,

603
00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:47,640
truly.
Yeah, need more ears listening

604
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:49,680
for sure, yeah.
Absolutely.

605
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:53,240
Absolutely.
Needs to become more of a

606
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:56,440
household name, yeah.
So yes.

607
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,560
I hear you.
You know what, it's, it's funny

608
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,720
where I feel like we're going to
get back to that point where we

609
00:36:01,720 --> 00:36:06,880
were in, you know, a year or two
ago, maybe two years ago, where

610
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:10,040
we had concerns about our silly
little band was going to get too

611
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,520
big.
And we were selfishly worried

612
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,880
about that.
And now it's like, I feel like

613
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,040
we're like proud Mama, like
let's push him out of the nest.

614
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,160
We need to.
We'll be so proud from the

615
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,280
sidelines if they get big, you
know what I mean?

616
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,800
So yeah, they definitely have
what it takes.

617
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,640
I mean, they do.
I know you guys know that too.

618
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:33,280
There is no doubt they have
exactly what it takes.

619
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,480
They do, it just depends on
whether people will take them on

620
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,640
board.
Yeah, but it's and it's not, you

621
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,560
know what's so lovely, What's so
great is that they are so great.

622
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,840
Each one of them is so awesome
in their own way.

623
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:52,720
And so you feel really happy
for.

624
00:36:52,720 --> 00:36:54,440
All.
Of them just as people, you

625
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,880
know, it's not just wow, they
have great music.

626
00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,520
They're just great human beings
that you've had the pleasure to

627
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,360
meet several times over this
tour.

628
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,760
I need to tell you, I've one of
the venues, Leslie, I don't know

629
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,520
if you were at this one or if it
was Minnesota, I can't remember.

630
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:18,840
At one of the venues, one of the
bartenders was asking us about

631
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,760
them because she had said that
most of the VIP things that they

632
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,480
do, there was just the band
going and hi click, hi click, hi

633
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,080
click.
And she was commenting on how

634
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:34,360
Lovejoy seems to be like
genuinely invested and engaged

635
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,880
in talking with her fans.
And she's like, they just seem

636
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:39,680
really nice.
She's like, are they like,

637
00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:42,520
really like that?
I'm like, yeah, they are.

638
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,120
They are really just down to
earth carrying kind people,

639
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,840
truly.
And they really did spend a lot

640
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,160
of time with each person or
group that came up to them.

641
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,960
And you know, you forget, I, I
didn't think of this so

642
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,920
recently, just reflecting back
that the time and attention and

643
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:06,440
kindness, you know, spend with
each person in that those long

644
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:11,040
VIP lines because they all sold
out, I believe then they still

645
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:15,560
had to put a show on after that.
You know, like it's kind of wild

646
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:19,880
that they still had the whole
show ahead of them and yet their

647
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,720
attention was fully, fully on
the people they were spending

648
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,280
time with.
They.

649
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,280
Don't need to get up till 2O
clock in the afternoon.

650
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Steve, don't belittle.
It oh, they were often about

651
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,520
long before that.
Because it's if it was and you

652
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:42,120
know, any of us is just people
to be on like that, to be fully

653
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,960
on and engage with people, it's
tiring.

654
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,720
I'm sure they were like pretty
wiped after those meet and

655
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:49,960
greets.
It was good they had those

656
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:56,200
opening bands to sort of then
take a breather because those

657
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,640
were must have been exhausting
nights, worth every second of

658
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,880
the exhaustion and illness that
came along with it.

659
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,240
But yeah, there's no, we
shouldn't discount that.

660
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,640
Just, you know, it's funny, I
was thinking about that too.

661
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,280
I was thinking about that too a
few nights ago, about the meet

662
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,680
and greets.
And obviously as fans, we got

663
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:17,840
something out of the meet and
greets.

664
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,440
We got a lot out of the meet and
greets, right?

665
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,240
And I hope that they got
something out of it too.

666
00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:26,040
I mean, when you think about it,
for me, it sounds terrifying and

667
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,680
exhausting to tell somebody or
for somebody to tell me, OK,

668
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:33,600
like 27 nights out of like a
month and a half, you're gonna

669
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,960
meet 50 new people every night.
I'd be, like, crying in the

670
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,280
corner, right?
I mean.

671
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,520
To pose with them and do all
anything they ask.

672
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,520
Basically sign anything they
wanted to buy.

673
00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,080
Do crazy pauses.
Make videos.

674
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,000
Right.
Unless you're unless you're a

675
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,960
true, true extrovert, which I am
not.

676
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:55,000
I I would think that would be
draining for just about anybody.

677
00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:59,360
But when you watch the videos of
like, well, you know, our

678
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:02,640
experiences and watching other
people's like meet and greets

679
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:07,240
like you don't like I said, they
really seem to enjoy being with

680
00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:10,840
the fans.
So I hope, I hope that that was,

681
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,440
you know, I hope they got
something back from that.

682
00:40:13,720 --> 00:40:17,240
And what I really hope too is I
hope that it.

683
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,760
Help them realize and kind of
cemented the fact that there are

684
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,680
so many people that love them
and support them.

685
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,000
So I hope just seeing that
tangible support with all of

686
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,240
those people being there,
wanting to talk to them really

687
00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:35,000
just, you know, made them feel
good.

688
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:36,600
Yeah, like he's like Wilbur
said.

689
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,120
Real people, real faces.
Yeah, yeah.

690
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,400
Not just screen names Like.
Yeah, exactly his name.

691
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:53,560
Exactly like, OK, let's be real,
90% of the teenage girls out

692
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,280
there, Will, Will, Will can't
wait to meet Will can't wait to

693
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,880
meet Will.
And I get some of the boys are

694
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:06,080
like this one's here for Will,
but from what I've seen, they've

695
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,440
all interacted, whether it's
just for Will or not.

696
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:16,800
They've all the interaction that
I've seen from various people's

697
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,000
meet and greets has been
fabulous, really, really

698
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,920
fabulous.
All the rest of the boys.

699
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,080
You don't have to say, though, I
have to say my favorite new

700
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,480
genre of Ash photos is Ash
photography.

701
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:34,280
A girl taking a selfie with
Wilbur and he's in the

702
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:40,720
background giving the finger.
Yeah, exactly that, exactly that

703
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:43,480
it's.
Just it's awesome.

704
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,800
And he's like, he doesn't mean
anything by it, but it's just

705
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,560
like, it's not, it's just, it's
just so tongue and cheek.

706
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,200
So Ash.
Yeah, exactly.

707
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,600
You just brought another thought
to mind.

708
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,760
What tongue and cheek?
How about the fact that we have

709
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:06,200
Ash, formerly non speaking Ash,
now speaking to everybody and on

710
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,560
our intro acting Wilbur with the
name of the podcast.

711
00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:12,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I I've even seen people on

712
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,440
TikTok like wait Ash talks
because they haven't seen the

713
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,200
movies yet.
So they're like what?

714
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,200
So it's easier and more special
that he talks on our.

715
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:27,040
Video, it really is.
And I, well, I I know I was.

716
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,920
I'm sure you guys too, when we
first heard his voice, you know,

717
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:36,080
in person or whatever.
His voice doesn't quite fit the

718
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:37,560
way he looks.
Such a you know what I mean?

719
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:37,760
You.
Yeah.

720
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:38,440
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.

721
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,160
It's a gravelly kind of rock
star voice.

722
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,240
Right.
Yeah, I first heard him talk in

723
00:42:43,240 --> 00:42:47,080
Brooklyn when we met him outside
one of the gigs stop for a split

724
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,720
second before they had to get
into an Uber.

725
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:54,440
I was he had the soft spoken
like higher pitched voice.

726
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,120
I was like, what?
Yeah, yeah, It's so cool.

727
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,400
I just love his whole persona
and then there's this, this

728
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:01,680
voice behind it.
It's good.

729
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,240
Cool.
Unexpected if you look up.

730
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,440
Yeah, if you look up.
Cool.

731
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:10,720
In the Webster dictionary, his
picture has to be there.

732
00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:13,640
Has to be there, I mean.
There's no way it's not.

733
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:17,280
Also, talking about our
experiences at the shows we had,

734
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:22,000
I brought out some of the
goodies that people handed me.

735
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,760
I thought I can't individually
show them all, but I got some

736
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,320
awesome new bracelets from
people.

737
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,920
So I just wanted to share.
Look at that.

738
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,800
And I said like I really
appreciate these 'cause I wear

739
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,120
bracelets every day.
So I got a whole assortment of

740
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:46,400
very colorful, fun new bracelets
as well as I got a little cute

741
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,440
little cat sticker, this little
pin.

742
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:56,200
And in New York, someone was
very organized and thoughtful

743
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,240
and made these adorable little
like goodie bags.

744
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:02,000
Oh, that's so cute.
I haven't opened it yet because

745
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:03,880
I wanted to be Christine for the
show.

746
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,760
Presentation value because super
impressive.

747
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,760
Just met a lot of great people.
I had fun handing out the

748
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,720
trading cards, the chicken
Nuggets.

749
00:44:14,720 --> 00:44:16,840
What else do we hand out?
Stickers.

750
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,840
And it was neat because a lot of
people used the trading cards we

751
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,040
handed out using photos from
that we've taken at shows.

752
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,200
A lot of them use them at the
meet and greet to have the band

753
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:29,400
signed because they realized,
oh, I didn't bring anything for

754
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,360
the band to sign.
And one of our meet and greets,

755
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:34,600
Wilbur said.
You've been handing out your

756
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:36,840
cards, haven't you?
It's like we've been seeing a

757
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,960
lot of them.
That was so cool.

758
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:47,600
I mean, two things there from my
point of view, the fact that

759
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:52,600
people have got something extra
out of your cards by having them

760
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:57,880
signed so fantastic.
And the fact that the band are

761
00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:02,320
saying, oh, we can tell you're
in the queue as such, you know

762
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,400
what I mean?
Because your cards are coming

763
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,720
through, you know, fantastic yet
again.

764
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:16,880
And it all costs money.
And I appreciate you doing it

765
00:45:16,920 --> 00:45:20,040
for the love of it, to make
people smile.

766
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,000
Absolutely.
Oh my God, it was amazing.

767
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,760
I had a dad absolutely like find
me at New York.

768
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,760
They sort of split the line and
went around a corner and a

769
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:33,240
father like stopped me.
He goes, my 3 girls went to use

770
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:36,560
a bathroom and they'd kill me if
I didn't stop you for cards.

771
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,400
I was like, it was like a known
thing.

772
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:43,440
Another girl asked if I would
take a selfie with her.

773
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,320
And her mom?
Like her mom took her things out

774
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:46,800
of her hand.
She's.

775
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,480
Like no, no, let me take it.
It was so much fun.

776
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,480
I had just the absolute best
time and best time waiting in a

777
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,360
line.
When you say Angie, of all the

778
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:01,280
lines to wait in?
That's honestly, it's one of

779
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,640
Dave's going to think I'm crazy,
but that's one of my favorite

780
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:07,360
parts of the whole thing is is
waiting in queue because you

781
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,320
meet so many great people.
Oh, I I.

782
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,240
Absolutely agree with that.
You know the London show, We

783
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:16,400
spoke to a fair few people and.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

784
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,000
Like in Philly, I met a really
nice person who was also from

785
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,040
Wisconsin that had driven like
18 hours to get there.

786
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,200
Was it from the show?
So yeah, yeah, yeah.

787
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,040
Oh my gosh.
He.

788
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:35,240
Started tearing up.
I know he was so sweet, like so

789
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:39,920
nice and just, and all of this,
all the people that we got to

790
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:45,160
meet were just so cool.
And I'm, I feel like, really

791
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:48,920
grateful that we were able to
meet so many great people And

792
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,200
thank you to everybody that took
the time, you know, to chat with

793
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:56,120
us for a little bit.
And I know sometimes I'm I'm

794
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,000
truly make my day beginning like
I feel like funny, like talking.

795
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,240
But it's that moment when we
finally go, OK, let's do it.

796
00:47:02,240 --> 00:47:08,200
Let's hand out our things then.
Yeah, yeah, it's it's really a

797
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,640
blast as you go down the line
doing that and just bring the

798
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,280
smiles, feels, faces.
I remember one of the gigs, a

799
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:15,520
girl came up to me and said, are
there stickers in your bag?

800
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,360
And I said, yeah, she goes, I'll
buy them from you.

801
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:22,760
I was like, no, no, no, no.
So I really enjoyed that.

802
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,480
And I look forward to doing it
again.

803
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,120
And I know, Dave, you have some
Nuggets and stickers.

804
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,680
Yes, I've still got some Nuggets
and stickers left.

805
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:35,080
Yeah, I'm saving them for some
gigs, but so tell me.

806
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,440
Appreciate you saw a lot of gigs
together but forget who you were

807
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,200
was with.
Out of all the gigs you've seen,

808
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,840
which was your favorite gig?
Yeah, it's hard to not be

809
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,280
tainted by who you're with.
Yeah, I absolutely agree for

810
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:54,320
your meet and.
Greet from that.

811
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:57,000
Particular gig?
Yeah, I absolutely agree.

812
00:47:57,280 --> 00:48:00,400
So take it all in.
What was one of the best gigs

813
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,520
for you folks?
I'd say New York had to be

814
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,280
because it was just special
being the last one, the longest

815
00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,040
one.
You know, it felt like that

816
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:15,360
because it was that that
episode, it was that show where

817
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:19,280
Wilbur named everybody, thanked
them, brought them out.

818
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,240
Ash dragged out Elodie.
They took that picture on the

819
00:48:23,240 --> 00:48:26,160
stage.
That acknowledgement was fun.

820
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,240
And yeah, with people.
I was with my daughter and we

821
00:48:30,240 --> 00:48:32,800
were with our friend that's been
going to all the gigs.

822
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,360
The three of us were together
and just had a freaking the best

823
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,400
time of our lives, jumping as
high as we could, all three of

824
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:46,160
us and singing along with I.
I really enjoyed the time spent

825
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,040
with with them as well, just
getting to know them and talk to

826
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:54,040
them as well.
And they said that the band,

827
00:48:54,320 --> 00:48:57,120
because they were at so many of
the meet and greets and shows

828
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:03,680
that the Wilbur actually said
they really appreciated his

829
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,520
presence because to know their
speed, they'd see a familiar

830
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,160
face at each meet and greet was
like a comfort thing to them,

831
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:14,760
like it does of all the
strangers to know that there was

832
00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:19,360
like a constant that they would
be there was cool and.

833
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:26,160
I was so glad to see that and
it's like picking a favorite

834
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:29,160
child but.
Managed to me one.

835
00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:32,560
I've only got 1.
Child ha ha ha.

836
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:40,720
Yeah, if you made me pick, I
would say even though, even

837
00:49:40,720 --> 00:49:45,240
though there were a few little
snags in the audience, I'd have

838
00:49:45,240 --> 00:49:51,640
to say Chicago because it was
the first show seeing them on

839
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:54,800
this tour.
And that makes sense.

840
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:59,880
You know, just hearing the album
live for the first time and

841
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,720
seeing Welcome just, you know,
barreling down on the stage like

842
00:50:03,720 --> 00:50:07,720
like a crazy person and jumping
all over and seeing that

843
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:11,080
newfound energy that they all
had was just absolutely mind

844
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,000
blowing.
And it was like I was seeing

845
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,680
them for the first time.
I couldn't believe it.

846
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:16,280
That's.
True.

847
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:20,400
My head was floating a new
experience, yeah are different

848
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,400
than resources for teaching
Yeah.

849
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:26,200
And you can't relive the first
time seeing that and seeing the

850
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,360
hearing those songs played the
yeah.

851
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,000
No.
And I remember thinking that

852
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:35,440
too, actually, during that show.
I'm like, Oh my gosh, I wish I

853
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,880
could like relive this over and
over because there will be,

854
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,680
there will never be another
first time hearing this.

855
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,680
But yeah, I would have to say
that.

856
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,640
And then I just want to bring
up, you know, funny like, or

857
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,680
interesting, crazy, different
things that happened during

858
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:58,840
shows, like a crowd surfer.
Never before have I seen a crowd

859
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,880
surfer.
Sorry, you've never, ever seen a

860
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,440
crowd.
Lovejoy Show.

861
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,800
I I'm disappointed because I
wanted to be the first.

862
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,000
Oh gosh, you might break a hip
or something.

863
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,800
Sorry, which?
Which city was that?

864
00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:19,120
And you were that was the you
two?

865
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,240
Were you there too?
Yeah, I was there.

866
00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:23,920
Oh.
You must have been there.

867
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,400
Yeah, man, What?
It was either Philly or DCI.

868
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:33,600
Guess was it Philly?
Then in New York, Ash laying on

869
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,640
stage for like the longest time
he was laying on stage and

870
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:39,400
playing on stage.
I don't know if you saw any

871
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:41,640
pictures or video of that.
Yes, I did.

872
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:42,760
That was.
Amusing.

873
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,440
And Joe was talking to the drum
set.

874
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,600
Joe fell into the drum set at
the end of New York City, like

875
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:50,280
the big finale, of course, where
they're going crazy playing or

876
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,720
whatever they're doing.
He like fell backwards into the

877
00:51:52,720 --> 00:51:55,160
drum set, like not knock the
bass drum over on Mark.

878
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,640
It was how many people actually
noticed that happening.

879
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,720
That was crazy.
I love all that fun, like

880
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,760
unexpected stuff.
You know, there's a lot of

881
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,760
unexpected death box moments
made for shows that we weren't

882
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:12,400
at.
Well, I'm glad they had a crowd

883
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,640
search.
I used to love doing that,

884
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,720
really love doing that.
You really did that well.

885
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:20,160
Yes.
Holy smokes, no way.

886
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:24,880
But back back in the day, you
could virtually clamber up at

887
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,960
the front of the stage.
There was none of this barrier.

888
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:31,160
You were at the stage, you had
your elbows on the stage.

889
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,520
So you get one of your mates,
give your leg up.

890
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:38,240
You're literally springboarded
off the stage into the crowd.

891
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,720
But not going to lie, it's gone
wrong quite a few times, you

892
00:52:42,720 --> 00:52:43,760
know?
Yeah.

893
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,480
Nobody catches you.
Not.

894
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:49,520
Enough people can.
Check Dave's dropping lore.

895
00:52:50,240 --> 00:52:55,920
Yeah, but there's been times
when I've gone halfway across

896
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:01,160
the crowd and it's fantastic.
No one's like grabbing you weird

897
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:06,040
or like inappropriate and stuff.
No, I.

898
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,320
Guess it's your.
Kind anyway does it, you know?

899
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,280
Yeah, right.
Well Dave, you could be the

900
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:15,280
first person to do it in the UK
at a Lovejoy show.

901
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,040
I'll give it a shot.
I'm going to have to do a lot of

902
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:20,680
limbering up though.
Better wear a disguise so they

903
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:23,640
don't know it's you.
Start training.

904
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,040
I never wanted to do that
because then you like you don't

905
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:28,120
get your good spot back.
Like what the heck right?

906
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,040
Crowd surfing.
Then you get a crappy spot.

907
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:34,760
Forget it, it's not worth it
even if I would have wanted to.

908
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:38,400
But back in the 90s, you just
pushed your way back to where

909
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,560
you were.
All right, chickens used to

910
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,400
cover a lot of ground here
today.

911
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:46,440
Yeah, we did.
It's getting to be Christmas

912
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:49,960
time, holiday time, so I'm not
sure what our next episode might

913
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:53,800
be about.
I do know I would love to do a

914
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,360
YouTube video.
Dave reacts to Wilbur Sutt

915
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:58,840
songs.
Heck yeah.

916
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:01,960
Come on, Dave, it doesn't.
Have to be a pod.

917
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:05,320
It could be a YouTube vid.
OK.

918
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,040
We'll, we'll, we'll look at
that.

919
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,640
Search that I think that would
be fun and that's almost seems

920
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:13,040
like a good holiday vacation you
know that quiet time to do

921
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,480
something fun and silly like
that get the subscriber count up

922
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:21,000
get Dave I like it yeah that
viral for.

923
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:27,160
Good, yeah.
Oh, everybody, check out Dave's

924
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,360
How to Make Your Own Pastor Gold
Lego minifigure.

925
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,440
I believe you're putting it up
on the website, Dave.

926
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:39,080
No, not the actual video, but
the bits and pieces of what you

927
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:41,080
really need.
How to sort of thing?

928
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,440
Yeah.
OK.

929
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,280
How to run it's?
Very cool.

930
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,240
Did you notice the auto
captioning on your video?

931
00:54:49,240 --> 00:54:55,320
Said Pasta Gold.
What like passed away?

932
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:56,440
Passed away?
No.

933
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,600
Yeah, see.
Passed away.

934
00:55:03,240 --> 00:55:08,760
Yeah, so I have two of them.
Oh, they're twinning.

935
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,400
Yeah, and there's MASH.
