1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320
OK.
So you're saying that Will's got

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,840
a cheap guitar?
Cheap guitar?

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:11,040
No, he's got a he's got a a
sultry little delicates, little

4
00:00:11,040 --> 00:00:13,320
flowery girl guitar and a big
man.

5
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,120
Hello and welcome to the Lovejoy
Nation podcast.

6
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:22,440
Hello, we are Lovejoy and you
are listening to the Lovejoy

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,320
podcast.
Hello Lovejoy Nation podcast.

8
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,480
Hello Love and Joyers.
Facts are coming.

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,360
Hey guys, we are here today to
talk about a couple little

10
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:39,640
things that have happened since
the last time, one of which is

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:43,680
Lovejoy etcetera.
LVJYETC on YouTube.

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:48,280
Love Joey spinoff channel hosted
a behind the scenes video and we

13
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,400
have yet to discuss it so.
Let's yeah.

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,880
Didn't it drop like the day
after we recorded or something

15
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,040
silly like that?
Probably or or a week.

16
00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:01,600
Later and it was like got to try
and get it in and then no.

17
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,160
Yeah, I had to rewatch it, you
know, to prepare for today.

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,880
The struggle is real.
So what do we all think?

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,600
My initial impression was our TV
sets and videotape recordings

20
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,880
looked crummy in the 80s and we
didn't do it on purpose.

21
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,040
It was just the best we got.
And then they did a 55 minute

22
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,320
video with it looking like that
intentionally.

23
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,040
So the boomer in me was a little
bit like, I'd rather see this

24
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:37,000
clear, but I get there trying to
be quirky, right?

25
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,080
That's where I was first started
out with it like the my initial

26
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,920
impressions.
It started off like how long is

27
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,200
this going to last for?
Well, it was.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,720
It's like, guys, we didn't do
that on purpose.

29
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:49,640
We have it look like that.
We were playing with the

30
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,240
tracking back then, you know,
And yes, we were.

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:56,640
Yeah.
But I feel like after a while,

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,960
you sort of just got used to it
like we did back then, right?

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,920
Yeah.
For us, all time, yeah.

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,640
Very true.
I didn't think of it that way.

35
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,280
Yeah.
What about you, Ange?

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,919
It I agree it was a little
annoying at first when you

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,000
started watching it, probably
because I'm old.

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,840
I think the the content was good
enough that it kind of made me

39
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,720
forget that OK the quality of
this video really sucks, which I

40
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,120
understand they did it on
purpose.

41
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,600
One of the things I really liked
about this is it felt like we

42
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,200
saw and heard a lot more of Ash
than we have in some of these

43
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,360
other videos.
I feel like he was in there a

44
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,680
lot.
We got to hear him.

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:37,520
Yeah, I'd I'd agree with that.
I I think since he's, yeah,

46
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,520
since he started talking, he's
like, hello, I want to talk

47
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:42,680
more.
We got to see more of his

48
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,480
personality and I love that
little dad moment that he had

49
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,800
with Will where there where Will
was talking about shaving his

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,920
mustache and ashes like, well, I
think you look good with

51
00:02:52,920 --> 00:02:53,720
stubble.
I.

52
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Was like, Oh yeah, he didn't
want to have a pedo stash

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,360
though.
Yeah, self-awareness there.

54
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,920
Yeah, that was fun.
I as a My girl movie fan, I

55
00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:08,800
liked when Wilbur said.
I can't see without his glasses.

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,600
Because I say that all the time
when I can't find my glasses.

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,440
So I was like a little fun thing
for me.

58
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Fun fact it was, it was fun.
It was their quirky, silly

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,280
style.
I loved Wilbur doing his

60
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,280
impressions of them all.
Walking down the stairs,

61
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,840
especially Busters.
He's like you do have a bounce

62
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:33,160
in your step.
There, there was quite a few

63
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280
little bits and pieces like
that, even down to the playing

64
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:43,920
football and, and, but for me, I
know you 2 loved it.

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120
For me it got a bit repetitive
and there was only a few stand

66
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,760
out things.
I didn't dislike it, I don't

67
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,440
hate it.
I just got a bit sort of like,

68
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:01,440
OK, how long we got left.
I didn't feel that, but it

69
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,800
didn't feel like, you know, the
Japan and Australia videos were,

70
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,640
yeah, totally different.
Yeah.

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,800
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah.

72
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,040
And you didn't want them to end.
This is obviously a very

73
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,640
different top sort of thing.
But it is fun to see them

74
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,360
backstage when they're people
are calling for the encore and

75
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,680
they're joking around.
And it's neat because you're

76
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,360
always wondering what are they
doing back there when their wing

77
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,400
come back out and to see how
like they were lack how relaxed

78
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,800
they were also was good to see.
Like there's no like anxiety or

79
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320
stress.
It seemed like before show or

80
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,920
even in the middle of the show
like for that those parts.

81
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,320
It was it was pretty cool to
watch and like before the show

82
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,480
and after the show, like you
said, it was interesting to hear

83
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,680
how they were reacting to the to
the people out there screaming.

84
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,640
Yes.
Absolutely.

85
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Mark had a funny quote.
There was some like some like

86
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,520
dance music playing in the lobby
of somewhere and he goes, this

87
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,360
is the music I was meant to make
before I got roped into Fork and

88
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,280
Lovejoy.
That was pretty cute.

89
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,200
Oh, I missed that.
Oh no, like that's cool.

90
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,440
I feel like I want to make a
little clip.

91
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,120
Of that posted, Yeah, yeah, it
was funny.

92
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,120
I just like when they talked
about how they thought they did.

93
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Like I think you played better
tonight than last night or?

94
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,400
Yeah, I love that aspect of it.
Yeah, really.

95
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,600
And I think at 1.1 of them said
about messing up a little bit or

96
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,520
something playing.
Yeah, I do like that kind of

97
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,360
behind the scenes.
Right.

98
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,240
Like the inside.
Yeah, Yeah.

99
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,920
Like you feel like you're
standing around with them.

100
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,520
Yeah.
And when the Nash is like we

101
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,880
played all the songs, it's like
we did our job.

102
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,240
And Wilbur talking about his
like leap off the platform where

103
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,480
Mark is, how excited he was.
Like I love that because they

104
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,880
the things that we feel
watching, they felt as well.

105
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,920
So I think that's cool.
And I'd like the little bit of

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,920
like Beatlemania sort of thing
when they're leaving the stage

107
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,760
and you hear a girl like
screaming, like she had no voice

108
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,800
the next day.
I'm sure I love you.

109
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,160
It's so fun.
That was probably me.

110
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,640
You know.
What?

111
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Honest to God, it wouldn't
surprise me at all.

112
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:39,200
I'd never be so bold, please.
The baptism acoustic little

113
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,400
backstage ditty with Will and
Mark.

114
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,680
Mark was was singing silly a lot
of times, the background vocals,

115
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,120
but there were a few times where
he was singing normal and he

116
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,640
sounded pretty good.
Like Turn that boy's mic up back

117
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,040
there I really liked.
It and they're just like kids

118
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,080
that are left to their own
devices in the empty classroom

119
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,680
and they're just like saying
stupid things it's so relatable

120
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:06,600
even though they're like cool
rock stars you know like they're

121
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,200
just doing what we would do just
like making sounds and saying

122
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,040
stupid words and.
Just.

123
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,800
Being silly just to fill the
time.

124
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:17,640
I like that, all that little
banter.

125
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:25,680
Like the bit with Ash and Will
and Christian where they're both

126
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,560
talking to Christian in these
goofy voices and Will's like

127
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480
every time I play good or
something like that.

128
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,920
Can you put a gold sticker on my
guitar?

129
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Gold Star on my.
Christian, you could tell he's

130
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,240
just like sick of the bit
between Will and Ash.

131
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,840
She's like, all right, guys,
that's enough.

132
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,160
And he's like, no, seriously,
like what do you like want me to

133
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:45,440
do?
Because he doesn't want to get

134
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,480
the guitar, you know, passing
around wrong because it seems

135
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,600
like Ash had was like giving him
some instruction, but in a silly

136
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,440
voice, like he's like, for real.
Or just give me the notes, man.

137
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,200
I could do with a little less
close-ups of mouths eating.

138
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,080
That's just a general note.
Let me too see.

139
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,040
We don't need to see your half
chewed burrito.

140
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:13,440
Your pretzel flipping on your
tongue.

141
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:17,880
Yeah, that's just that's.
Just me.

142
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:19,560
Dave liked that part, That that
was Dave's day.

143
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Yeah, that's why.
Dave's like more of that.

144
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:34,799
This thing would have been,
yeah, there wasn't enough.

145
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:36,320
Of that chewed up food.
Please.

146
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:40,840
I don't know why that's so
funny.

147
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:47,920
But it is.
Sorry, Dave.

148
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640
All Dave's whole movies are
close-ups of mouths chewing.

149
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,400
A pair of you are off on one
tonight, aren't you?

150
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,280
OK, I'm better.
OK, well that's the main scene's

151
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,600
video.
Lovejoy, etcetera Next.

152
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,000
There's been a lot of.
Chatter in the Lovejoy verse

153
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:27,480
about Wilbur's emojis in his
Instagram IO.

154
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,760
He started with one hedgehog
emoji.

155
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880
Then in recent weeks it became
2.

156
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,800
So then there was all sorts of
speculation.

157
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,640
There was Is it meaning another?
Does it mean another album?

158
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,360
Another solo album?
Another Lovejoy album?

159
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,840
Does he have a girlfriend?
And then there was an egg. 2

160
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,600
hedgehogs and an egg.
What the heck does that mean?

161
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,560
Who's having a baby?
Wait, is that the third album is

162
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:59,360
like is like here and
incubating.

163
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,320
Then there was fire.
So then I said I said to Dave a

164
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,680
frying pan with a fried egg in
it.

165
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,040
Next thing you know, Wilbur puts
a frying pan with a fried egg,

166
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:12,320
so they're cooking.
Does anyone have a strong

167
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,800
opinion on what these things
mean?

168
00:10:16,680 --> 00:10:19,480
No, no, he was just like the
the.

169
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,520
What do you what do you think,
Dave?

170
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,840
Yeah, Dave.
I did mention about him having a

171
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,080
girlfriend, that was mainly to
upset you too.

172
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,280
When you was in New York, those
pictures from the subway and

173
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:39,080
such, Yeah.
Yeah, for me, something is

174
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,160
cooking.
Then it was, it's not

175
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,040
hibernating.
What's the word incubating?

176
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,560
And now it's definitely cooking.
So something was up.

177
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,560
Something's incubating,
something's now cooking now.

178
00:10:57,560 --> 00:11:05,800
Then we had a their Last Post
incoming something's.

179
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,960
Cooking.
And then Joe commented on it.

180
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,960
Yeah, what did he say?
Something coming?

181
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,240
Something cooking or something?
He said coming.

182
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,040
What did he say?
Coming soon or coming?

183
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,720
I don't know.
He said something's coming and

184
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,720
then I don't know, but you never
really hear from Joe so that was

185
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,440
like, where the heck you come
from?

186
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,960
Oh.
Which brings me to another emoji

187
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,560
of interest that we should have
put in our notes.

188
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:46,200
But I'm glad I remembered before
we hit stop TikTok.

189
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Lovejoy posted a TikTok 2 days
ago or three days ago at this

190
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:54,000
point, a video from one of the
gigs and someone in the comments

191
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,560
said come to Poland and Ash
commented with the inquisitive

192
00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:06,880
eyeball emoji and I didn't know.
I've never seen Ash comment on a

193
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,800
TikTok anywhere.
So again, another like

194
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:14,520
interesting lurker situation,
but the eyeballs are intriguing.

195
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:21,320
Me personally, I think this
whole thing is UK European Tour

196
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:26,120
will be announced soon.
Asterisk, Asterisk and.

197
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,880
Yeah.
As far as going to places on a

198
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,440
European Tour that they might
have not been before, don't you

199
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,440
kind of feel like this would be
the time to do it with their

200
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,480
debut album, You know, touring
in support of that?

201
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:47,680
So I feel like it makes sense.
Yeah, yeah, I'd love to see a

202
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:51,280
quite an extensive European
tool.

203
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,120
Then hopefully they won't come
back to America at the end of

204
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,160
the year.
Won't come back to America at

205
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,320
the end of the year.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

206
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,080
Absolutely.
No, you won't come to so we can

207
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:06,880
report on it, Sir.
Yeah, Dave, maybe you're going

208
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,160
to fly out here.
How about that?

209
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Never talk about that.
You always talk about going over

210
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:11,760
there.
You can come here.

211
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Yeah, you should.
I'd love to.

212
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,360
There you go.
Fly out here.

213
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,440
I'd love to.
I'm not allowed to take any time

214
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,960
off in November.
Once Black Friday comes, that's

215
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:21,880
it.
No time off.

216
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,560
Oh, and that's when they like.
That's when they like to make us

217
00:13:26,560 --> 00:13:28,320
stand out in the freezing cold.
Yeah.

218
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,560
That's part of the reason why I
didn't go to the resources for

219
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:33,960
teaching tour.
I got it.

220
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,880
Gotcha.
Would you go to other countries

221
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,480
on your side of the pond if they
went to Poland or whatever else?

222
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,720
Or you all you're sticking to
UK?

223
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,960
I'll stick to the UK, but I'm
not going to lie, we're looking

224
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,560
at probably going either to
Italy.

225
00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:55,440
Or.
Prague, if we were there at the

226
00:13:55,440 --> 00:14:01,800
same time, I would certainly
look into at least going to the

227
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,400
gig.
Well, don't book the trip until

228
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520
they now tour.
We're bloody ABBA, hurry up and

229
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:15,000
announce the tour.
Seriously, we sat there and

230
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,400
we're like, Oh yeah, I can get
this, I can get that and I can

231
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:24,240
get this and and then I'll just.
How amazing would it be if the

232
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,320
if they did like a festival
circuit?

233
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:32,040
We just talked around to all the
festivals that would.

234
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,680
Sign me up, sign me up.
I normally hate festivals but

235
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,680
for Lovejoy, sign me up.
Yeah, and if we get to, like,

236
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,320
hang out together, no brainer.
Oh yeah, I think it.

237
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,960
Also depends on who else is
playing, doesn't it?

238
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,560
I know, not really.
Not really.

239
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,960
We'll we'll figure out what to
do I.

240
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,680
Don't really care about that.
A little bit, we'll busy

241
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160
ourselves.
All right, let's take it over to

242
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,160
our interview with Asher and his
mom, Heather.

243
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,040
Probably the biggest love
enjoyers, super fans in the

244
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,000
community I would say.
I think you might both agree and

245
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,120
we really appreciate having to
sit down with them.

246
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,480
So hope you enjoy.
Hello, let's welcome Heather and

247
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,240
Asher to the podcast visiting us
for sunny Florida.

248
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,600
Hello, hello, thank you for
being on the show and agreeing

249
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,280
to be here and and chat with us.
This is the first time

250
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:30,160
interviewing 2 people so this
should be interesting.

251
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Oh, really?
Going.

252
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,320
To be a lot of talking over one
another.

253
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,520
It happens all the time with us.
Yes, it's called the magic of

254
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,480
editing.
Exactly.

255
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,800
So we want to have you here as
super fans and followers of

256
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:51,000
Lovejoy, and we're just so
curious about your story and how

257
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,280
this all came about.
But first, maybe you just

258
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,480
briefly tell us about yourselves
to start us off.

259
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,320
I'm Asher.
I'm I'm in high school, I

260
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,400
started listening to Lovejoy
When Are You Alright dropped and

261
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,600
kind of really fell in love with
music because of that.

262
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,120
They've been my favorite band
since.

263
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,240
Learned a bunch of instruments
because of them and I've been

264
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:14,280
lucky enough to go to a lot of
their shows somewhere.

265
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:16,880
Somewhere on 43 now a.
Lot is understanding.

266
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,600
Wow.
I used to, well, Angie, I think

267
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,480
is about a dozen and you're on
about 8.

268
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,640
And I'm like what?
How, why, what, how?

269
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,400
And then you come along and only
43.

270
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,520
I know, did they even play 43
shows?

271
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,280
That's amazing.
And Heather?

272
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Yeah, my name is Heather and I
used to work in the movies in a

273
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,560
previous lifetime, and so I can
guarantee you've all seen my

274
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,680
work.
And now I get to live in

275
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,520
paradise.
And I abandoned it as frequently

276
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:54,880
as as Lovejoy tours the USA
because I can't miss the show.

277
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:02,960
I mean obvious.
You used to work in the movies,

278
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,680
and we've probably all seen Tell
Me More.

279
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,640
Oh, not probably.
I guarantee it.

280
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,040
Yeah, for sure.
Go on then, yeah.

281
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280
I'm intrigued.
Oh, I just, I did it for so many

282
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:17,000
years that I did the number one
movies #1 TV shows in the world

283
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,920
for almost 2 decades.
So I mean, there's no way to

284
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:21,960
avoid it.
Oh wow.

285
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,920
In front of the camera, behind
the camera.

286
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,760
Both, but especially I was a
grip.

287
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,280
A rigor dollar grip, best boy
grip, every kind of grip.

288
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:34,520
Oh, that's.
Cool.

289
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,000
So mainly behind the camera
doing all the the film technical

290
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,680
stuff with the the shaping of
the light and safety of everyone

291
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,360
on set and doing the math that
everything is built on and you

292
00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,080
know, camera movement.
Fun stuff.

293
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,160
Wow that's wild podcast.
Really.

294
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,440
Yeah.
It's just it's unique for TV and

295
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,280
movies.
There's no other job like it.

296
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,840
It's kind of like a lot of real
world things put together plus

297
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,440
more.
So it's difficult to explain

298
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,200
without going into great detail,
but I I love what I did and I

299
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:13,360
love the production quality of
every single Lovejoy show I've

300
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:17,480
ever seen because I know quality
productions.

301
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,680
So it's just every single time
I'm amazed and impressed.

302
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,640
That's an awesome compliment and
I hope they listen and hear

303
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,120
that.
Or maybe you've said.

304
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,040
Yeah, it's, it's everyone there.
Yeah, definitely.

305
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:32,200
They put together the best
people for sure.

306
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,440
That's an interesting
perspective for you to have.

307
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
And just know people, I think,
right, but for the combination

308
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,160
of the two.
It's interesting from your point

309
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:47,960
of view because you're mainly
behind the scenes as such to be

310
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,880
able to say that's brilliant and
meaning, you know what I mean?

311
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,560
Whereas I'll go along.
Oh, that's fantastic.

312
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,160
Oh, what a great show.
But you know, the insurance and

313
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,360
outs and all this of yeah.
Yeah, you're qualified to speak.

314
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,240
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.

315
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,920
And I'm.
I'm so amazed with.

316
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,800
They're such good people, so
they attract to such good people

317
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,160
and even all the audiences
they're so good to like.

318
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,720
It's just such a pleasure to be
in such a peaceful place.

319
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,440
Every opportunity that arises,
I.

320
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,800
Think Angie and I would agree
with that and Dave.

321
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,400
Yes, it's yes.
Yes, Dave.

322
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:24,560
'S going to get his turn this
year.

323
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,600
We feel it in our bones.
He did go to the London Gay Go.

324
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:31,200
Yeah.
Secret game.

325
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,440
That one seemed cool.
He's waiting impatiently for

326
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,880
that UK tour announcement.
Yes, yeah, I'm sure these two

327
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,720
know when it is, you know, being
friends with the band and all

328
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,280
that.
I mean, they've seen him every

329
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320
day for what, a month?
Yeah.

330
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,080
How long was the tourism month
and 1/2?

331
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,240
And 1/2.
Seven weeks, Joe said in the

332
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:58,360
behind the scenes thing.
Yeah, it's the London show was

333
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,440
was really weird because I
watch, I watch all the videos

334
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,640
that you've all put out online.
I've seen you both in videos.

335
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,320
I've, you know what I mean?
And everybody knew all of the

336
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,120
songs, all of the songs, the
London gig.

337
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,880
We are literally stood there and
they're playing this song for

338
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,680
the very first time and we're
all like, I haven't got a clue.

339
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,040
Just nod your head.
Bravo.

340
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:33,920
Do you know what I mean?
And I cannot wait to be in that

341
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:39,680
crowd variance, what you've all
experienced with every single

342
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,160
song.
Are you practicing your jumping

343
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:42,720
too, Dave?
Dave.

344
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,920
Yeah, I will do once the tours
are now start, start limbering

345
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,760
up.
You should get those moon shoes,

346
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,440
they have the springs in them.
What are you're going to need

347
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,080
them to be Asher, I tell you
that?

348
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,880
Yeah.
I what I really want to do is

349
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,240
stage dies right?
I've done it many a times in the

350
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,040
past and I really want to stage
die but I'm gutted because

351
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,200
someone in America beat me to it
so.

352
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,360
There there was one crowd surfer
in America.

353
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,600
Yeah, they were crowd surfer.
I don't think that stage right.

354
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,040
In stage die.
Well, the.

355
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,040
Thing is, you start off, you get
up on a barrier, just go for it,

356
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:21,480
and then you crowd surf
hopefully.

357
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,520
Sure your your daughter would
love that if you did that.

358
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,520
No, she's like, yeah, please
don't.

359
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Well, Dave, if Dave decides to
do that, like either of you guys

360
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,640
want to like be a pod host
because we're going to need a

361
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:42,120
third one because RIP Dave it.
Has happened years ago one of my

362
00:21:42,120 --> 00:21:45,560
mates gave me a sort of Jimmy
out and I went up.

363
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,320
Everything's a Jimmy.
And then the crowd just

364
00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:53,280
separated, like Moses separating
the water straight down on my

365
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,560
face, on the front, and they all
laughed at me.

366
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,080
Even the band laughed.
Ouch.

367
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,960
But that's all part of the fun.
It's all part of the experience,

368
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:05,440
right?
The unknown and.

369
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,640
Face plan is important.
Yeah, I think the audiences.

370
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,800
Have changed after that I
learned I learned if you're

371
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,960
going to fall hands like that
because that that way you don't

372
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,880
break your wrists and you don't
break your nose if you don't you

373
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,320
know all.
Right, let's get back to the

374
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,560
schedule.
Yeah, to the whole next next

375
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,320
generation.
So everyone's keeping a lot of

376
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,640
surfing and.
Right, We can do a podcast on,

377
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,520
you know, surviving crowd
surfing and stage guys.

378
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:35,440
I'll drop that down.
OK, good.

379
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,240
It's not a bad idea.
So you know, we stay on cast.

380
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,360
Great.
Can you tell us?

381
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,920
Well, we have the first question
as telling us the process or

382
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:49,400
planning this, but like how did
you all decide to like go for it

383
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,800
and do this and did you did it
for more than what this tour you

384
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:57,080
did it for the last?
So we we've had a streak since

385
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,840
like since the road to 100 tour,
been going to all the American

386
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:08,000
shows since that.
But I so my mom became a fan

387
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,200
after seeing them live with me
if I in the first show and shaky

388
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:17,040
knees Atlanta back in 2023.
And it was kind of a thing of

389
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:23,120
like as many shows as I could
convince her that we could go

390
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:25,440
to.
We would go to.

391
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,880
And then once she became a fan,
it became kind of a thing of as

392
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,360
many shows as we can go to.
We'll go to.

393
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,760
Yeah.
And it so happened that we've

394
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,280
been very fortunate in this past
tour that we've had the

395
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,680
opportunity to be able to go to
all these shows.

396
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,760
So once that was decided, then
they came down to the planning,

397
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,680
which was I, I spent a while on
spreadsheets and stuff figuring

398
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,040
out how many hours it is to
drive between places.

399
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,320
And we would look at flights and
stuff like that.

400
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,760
And it became a bit of an
amalgamation of renting cars,

401
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,600
getting flights, sleeping on
buses, sleeping on trains.

402
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,800
My my first train ride ever, and
I always wanted to do that.

403
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,920
And then we just did it as much
as we could the rest of the

404
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,320
time, yeah.
So funny.

405
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,040
And I remember meeting you guys
on that tour too, and you were

406
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,920
just so nice and so kind like,
like you always are.

407
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,760
So.
Yeah, that's.

408
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,520
That's amazing.
Yeah.

409
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,000
I.
Was just going to say we took

410
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,320
our first train ride like Amtrak
train ride to DC to see them in

411
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,360
2023 December 1st and I
remember.

412
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:31,280
Oh so.
They were there.

413
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,000
I remember the show.
OK, Don't wear the water there.

414
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,080
Yeah, absolutely.
It's a chilly.

415
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:38,560
Barricade.
Situation.

416
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:40,320
The barricade situation was a
mess.

417
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,560
That night wasn't.
It did you remember the person

418
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,040
who like rushed through the
crowd with with his partner?

419
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:52,640
Did you did you see that?
No, there's, there's man,

420
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,640
there's like a a fully grown,
like 50 year old man who pushed

421
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,760
his way through the crowd, like
made a clearing to get to the

422
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:02,080
front and then got kicked out by
security immediately afterwards.

423
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:05,760
Yeah, that's one of the one of
the silliest things I've seen at

424
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,800
one of these shows.
Always the old people, yeah.

425
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,680
That's.
Old people.

426
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:14,560
You know, they're like, don't
run.

427
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:20,400
Yeah, hold my beard.
I just remember waiting in line

428
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:24,080
all freaking day in the rain.
And then when they put us up at

429
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,840
the the barricaded lines at the
front, they were just gonna go

430
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,120
like zigzag, taking people
instead of like all the front

431
00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,800
people or the people that have
been waiting all day.

432
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,960
Nothing is.
Strange, because every venue

433
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,440
does it a different way.
And some venues are like, yes,

434
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,520
I'm going to make sure you've
been waiting here for a while,

435
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,560
you're going to get in first.
And other venues are like, all

436
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,200
right, guys, get in, preach to
all.

437
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,560
How?
Can we do this So stress, that's

438
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,080
what the.
Stress always is is you don't

439
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,800
know how they're going to
operate it and clearly you guys

440
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,400
have.
Yeah, I've learned to be very

441
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,360
outgoing and be like, how is
this gonna work?

442
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,880
What's what's the plan with
this?

443
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,080
Yeah.
We're proactive and and yeah,

444
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,400
you like how we address.
Things a lot of the time there

445
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,360
needs to be just one person in
the queue who who asks and then

446
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,960
they think about and they're
like, OK, then we'll do this and

447
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:18,200
that'll work.
So I have to ask you guys, I

448
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,520
always get that like nervous,
like pit in my stomach right

449
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,200
before doors open.
Do you do you still get that?

450
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,200
Have you gotten over that?
It's like every time I just get

451
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,400
nervous and I need to know if
you do the same thing.

452
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,440
It's it's definitely a pit that
has nervousness in it, but it's

453
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,320
so much more.
It's so much excitement and

454
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:36,200
stuff.
So it's like.

455
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,800
Yeah.
It's it's the pit of everything,

456
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,840
all the anticipation clashing.
Nerval excited.

457
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,760
No.
Are you talking about the

458
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,960
nerves?
Because you were fortunate

459
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:54,400
enough to get the VIP and you
are going to see the band or

460
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,680
just generally.
I'm just speaking to you all

461
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,760
that you're both.
Yeah, yeah, I got 2 VIPs and

462
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,760
only got to go to 1, so I don't
know why I was still.

463
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,440
Stupid.
I was very that.

464
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,840
I missed.
I didn't know that other.

465
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,480
One, the saddest thing was like,
we just, we wanted to make sure

466
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,160
the money was stretched, so we
made sure we got his all first

467
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,760
and then started going for mine.
But they were just sold out

468
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,640
everywhere.
So yeah, I think that the VIP

469
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,040
was the most like, felt like a
lot of pressure.

470
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,640
But going to the shows is more
like elation.

471
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,120
It's like going to a party where
you know everybody and you just

472
00:27:32,120 --> 00:27:35,080
feel like you have a good sense
of what's gonna happen because

473
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,160
we know the songs.
And then you have the the

474
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,920
interesting thing of every crowd
is different.

475
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,040
Every city's different and the
it's all like the vibes and how

476
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,200
people approach each other.
Give give space or or get cozy

477
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,560
and just yeah, I love that this.
I found it so interesting.

478
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,760
I I would always get texts after
the show of I like this city, I

479
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,680
do not like this.
City.

480
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,920
So that's a good segue into a
couple of questions here.

481
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,720
What was your favorite city to
visit like, show aside, and why

482
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,600
new.
York City, New York.

483
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,080
That's right.
Yeah.

484
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,560
We we both love New York and
getting to I got to see one of

485
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,800
my friends there after the show
and everything and just got to

486
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,520
have some great food.
See.

487
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,720
Great.
Stuff hang out on the sidewalk

488
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,520
with my daughter that.
Times.

489
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,720
Again, I apologize.
I ordered my lo Mein too.

490
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,360
Spicy times on our sidewalk.
Oh no.

491
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,560
Yeah, the spice levels are
different depending what city

492
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:44,840
you're in.
You have to take that into

493
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,880
account the translation.
Right.

494
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,760
And you talked about the vibe
too, from city to city.

495
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,040
How did you, how did you see
that differing?

496
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Like how did the energy or the
crowd differ as you went to

497
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,720
different cities?
Was that kind of interesting to,

498
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,040
to watch?
I bet it was.

499
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,240
For sure.
So I, I don't know if you guys

500
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,760
don't know this, but we also
followed, we also followed the

501
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,720
James marriage tour immediately
preceding Lovejoy.

502
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,680
And so we kind of got to see
every city twice and like see

503
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,320
the patterns and stuff like
that.

504
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,360
And that definitely solidified.
They, they always say like LA

505
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,480
is, is a certain way and Seattle
is a certain way or something

506
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,800
like that.
But it, I, it, it changes

507
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,480
between shows a lot.
It's there's like a general area

508
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,600
that it's in, but it's very
different between shows.

509
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,880
Like it's something true.
Those Chicago cues very early.

510
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:50,960
I don't know why.
Yeah, blame Angie for that one.

511
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:54,400
And.
Maybe a bigger following or?

512
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Or Angie's.
Or Angie's child.

513
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,280
That could be it.
Blame Pebble.

514
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,160
Yeah, because we had one idea in
our mind of a time and she had a

515
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,760
whole lot.
Of yeah, the kids were like our

516
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:10,680
our idea of 1 to Q and the kids
idea of 1 to Q.

517
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,200
Was like hours apart.
That also happened in Brooklyn.

518
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,440
Oh God, forget about it.
It was a different day in the

519
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,240
queue.
Do you know what?

520
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:26,320
I really don't believe you
because I firmly believe it was

521
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,560
the other way around.
So that you 2 wanted to get

522
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,160
there at 8:00 in the morning and
the kids wanted to lie in.

523
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,840
Don't give our secrets out,
Dave.

524
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,920
Don't tell me specific.
So were you literally in the

525
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:42,520
queue every day early or was
there some days where you

526
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,760
thought, do you know what I'm
going to have a lion or?

527
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,520
So my mom didn't queue up early
because she prefers just getting

528
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,440
getting the nice view right,
getting.

529
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,520
Ready I want I want to do
something in each town.

530
00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,560
So like if there's a zoo, I'm
going to that.

531
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,000
If there's a Science Center, I'm
doing that.

532
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,160
There's a museum on there.
So because I wanted to have

533
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,120
like, you know, get as much
audit as I could and I had a

534
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:11,720
placeholder here sometime sort
of so, but he you know.

535
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:16,800
Yeah, I, I, I love the queue
because you meet all of like,

536
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,120
the best people and you just
have a great time and you get,

537
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,760
getting to spend a whole day
with a stranger is one of my

538
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,600
favorite things because like,
it's the quickest way to get to

539
00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:28,560
know Someone Like You.
You get introduced and then you

540
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,280
get to spend the whole day and
you just get to know this person

541
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:34,040
immediately and become friends.
You stay in touch after that and

542
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,120
stuff like that.
And that's just, that's really

543
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,000
great.
As much as I love jumping at the

544
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,200
front, it is honestly mostly for
meeting all those people.

545
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:46,320
It is really great.
Yeah, I enjoyed that in the city

546
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,720
hang out and with you have the
guitar and Philly too.

547
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,600
Yeah.
So yeah, you add to the the

548
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,440
culture of the cool Q vibe with
playing your guitar.

549
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,600
So, and actually you might be
jumping, but someone joined you

550
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:04,680
with playing guitar and actually
played your guitar in Florida, I

551
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,280
do believe.
Yeah, Yeah, that was that was a

552
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,360
really cool opportunity.
I I got to play with Wilbur

553
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,040
outside the venue before the
show.

554
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,840
I got to play Common Touch,
little acoustic duet, and that

555
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,000
was really cool.
It was it was a little thing

556
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,360
that we had talked about a
little bit beforehand.

557
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:25,600
And we're just kind of waiting
on the right day because you've

558
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,360
been sick a few days before
that.

559
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,040
So it's like you don't want to
stress the voice too much.

560
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,240
And then the day came and we got
to play.

561
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,560
And that was very full circle
for me as somebody who started

562
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:38,800
learning guitar because of
because of Lovejoy and all that

563
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:40,520
playing with the lead of
Lovejoy.

564
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,440
So I'm guessing that was the
highlight.

565
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:46,360
That's going to be the pinnacle,
right?

566
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,000
Yeah, the highlight.
The pinnacle of the whole tour.

567
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,240
It's it's still hard for me to
like comprehend.

568
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,560
It is like like and.
The switching guitars, right,

569
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,200
You played each other's.
Guitars, is that right?

570
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,000
Yeah, that was that was a
mistake.

571
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:08,560
I So what do you mean?
So I, I wanted to, I wanted to

572
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,280
switch guitars because mine
would mine is generally better

573
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,280
for those lower bits with the
chords.

574
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,880
Well his has the cut out so I
can reach up higher easier.

575
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,160
But I realized afterwards that
mine is a lot louder than his is

576
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,240
because mine's like a big thread
knot with with like brass

577
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:29,360
strains and stuff like that.
And his has it's much smaller

578
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,080
and stuff.
So with me on the lead that was

579
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,600
a lot quieter.
It's it's why it's a bit hard to

580
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,880
hear in the videos but.
OK.

581
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,120
Yeah, so you're saying that
Will's got a cheap guitar?

582
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:45,480
Cheap guitar?
No, he's got a he's got a a

583
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,880
sultry little delicates, little
flowery girl guitar and a big

584
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,040
man.
That makes sense, right?

585
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,520
Does she have a name for that
guitar?

586
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,680
Yeah, I wouldn't know.
Jezebel.

587
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:07,240
Simone is gone, Teresa Simone's
missing, broken or something, he

588
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,719
said.
Watching that video was just

589
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,320
like, it blew my mind.
I had to show everybody in my

590
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,199
house, even though they, well,
except for Pebble, you know, she

591
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:18,760
knew who you were.
But they're like, why are you

592
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:20,120
showing it?
It's like, watch this.

593
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:23,520
It's so cool.
And then Wilbur shared it.

594
00:34:23,679 --> 00:34:26,280
Wilbur reposted it.
His mom did.

595
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,800
His mom shared it.
Isn't that she?

596
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:30,679
Did too, yeah.
And so amazing.

597
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,960
What I knew and no one else knew
is that that's the song that

598
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,280
like we knew the least.
Like I don't know why, but like

599
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:41,320
I didn't know the lyrics yet.
And I mean, I've heard Usher

600
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,360
play I think every single song
and I felt like the other ones

601
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,520
he really, really like.
It's really impressive to me

602
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,320
how.
I chose that song because the

603
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,320
night, yeah.
Oh wow.

604
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,480
The night that I, that I like,
first brought up the idea or no,

605
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,120
actually it Yeah, I think, I
think it may have been.

606
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,800
But the night that I brought up
the idea, I was playing after

607
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:10,160
the show in Indianapolis and I
was playing after the show and

608
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,960
kind of everything was clearing
out and I was playing common

609
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,120
touch.
And as the boys were leaving, we

610
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,240
all sang along like a little bit
to it as he was walking.

611
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,080
That sounds very nice.
I like that.

612
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,920
So I I I got very set on
learning how to play and sing

613
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:26,880
that one for.
Cool.

614
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,320
And eventually it was good
enough by the time it came.

615
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,680
Yeah, fantastic.
It's your special, special.

616
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,400
I love that.
I I think I shared with Angie

617
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,880
once, but I don't think I even
told you Leslie and definitely

618
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:41,720
haven't talked with Dave before.
So about how like my take on how

619
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:46,240
that it all started was Asher
was like super smart and honest

620
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:51,200
computer like 5 years old gaming
and basic coding and stuff like

621
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:55,400
this.
And just seeing the change of of

622
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,520
a kid who's like just always on
that in his rumors, like, you

623
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:03,880
know, secluded situation on
long, long, long hours.

624
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:07,240
Switching to like getting out
there, getting into music

625
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:13,840
lessons, seeing learning to
sing, just expressing himself in

626
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:17,440
a whole new way and being
creative and practicing and

627
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,160
rehearsing for hours and hours
and hours on end.

628
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,280
Like some days I was like, has
it been six hours already?

629
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,040
Like maybe you want to take a
little break?

630
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:27,840
8 hours.
Like I love listening to him.

631
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:31,960
So I'm really lucky he started
with all like, like plays every

632
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,480
instrument that I've heard in
any of the songs.

633
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,440
So I just I love listening to
all of it.

634
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:42,440
And when at that point in time
when Asher was just learning and

635
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,280
the band seemed like they would
never come to America, he said,

636
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,080
hey, if they ever come to
America, do you think we could

637
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:50,320
go to a show?
Sure, Of course we.

638
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:57,760
Go to a show.
He said so like, he's, I don't

639
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:02,200
know, hundreds, I guess
thousands now of hours on like

640
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,560
invested into this for himself.
And I was just so impressed.

641
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,440
Like I just had to put
everything I could into making

642
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,840
sure that he got to participate
the most.

643
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:14,440
And I was so naive.
Like the first, the first tour

644
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,000
that I heard that I knew about,
buy the resale tickets for way

645
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,120
too much and then I wouldn't
even get them to the show

646
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,920
because they don't give it to
you till just before the show.

647
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,520
So I thought, well, it's a scam.
We're never going to get them.

648
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,600
And so I didn't like I just
didn't understand how anything

649
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,040
worked.
So I want to have like a

650
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,520
resource guide for parents who
are going to bring their kids to

651
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,280
these shows because it can be
life changing.

652
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:39,960
The best thing you ever did and
something you can do together

653
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,600
and enjoy together and get your
own, you know, joy out of it.

654
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,800
But plus you could do it better
by learning by my mistakes so.

655
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:52,520
You know what that.
Is an awesome idea.

656
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:56,560
Yes.
Because every time there's like

657
00:37:56,600 --> 00:37:59,760
date announcements, yeah.
Prepared people, we've all,

658
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,920
we're all in the same boat.
We've all done exactly what

659
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,280
you've done.
I managed.

660
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:09,200
I I know Leslie, you've said
before that you ended up buying

661
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:12,560
resale tickets the first time.
You know, we've managed to get

662
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,720
tickets, but that is a fantastic
idea.

663
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,600
Yes, for a pod.
Were you back sometime, Heather?

664
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,160
We talked about that.
Yes, because then kids could

665
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,960
play this the episode for their
parents to convince them.

666
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,680
Yeah, they take and did you?
Were you leaving right here?

667
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:31,480
Right.
Now, were you at their first

668
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:35,480
show in New York in December
2022?

669
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:39,440
No, no, first show is shaking
knees, which is like may of

670
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,280
that's.
Right, he's shaking knees, OK,

671
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,200
because.
Yeah, he's been.

672
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:46,600
A possible fortune on those
tickets because my daughter

673
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:50,680
wanted to go so bad and I
watched and watched all day long

674
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,440
for the tickets to sort of go
less and less.

675
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:57,080
Didn't buy them till like 4:00
and the doors open at six I

676
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:00,440
think.
But yeah, I mean, I spent way

677
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,720
less on Rolling Stones tickets
than I did those Lovejoy tickets

678
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,560
at church.
Wow, yeah, those were some wild

679
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,800
times, man.
Where's it?

680
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,680
Here we are.
So do you go do you go to see

681
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,880
any other bands apart from James
and Lovejoy?

682
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:18,160
Not.
Follow.

683
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:21,600
I like, I love seeing live music
and stuff.

684
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,400
Yeah.
I try to go to as many concerts

685
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,560
as possible.
I'm going to hip hop festival

686
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:33,040
Rolling Loud in May this year.
So like you know, I love music

687
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,160
so I try to go do as much as I
can and any artist I like the

688
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:39,040
swings by.
But following another artist, I

689
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,640
think, I think the only ones
that I really I'm not dedicated

690
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:44,800
for are those two.
Yeah, I think it cuts down to

691
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:48,360
how, like, wonderful they they
are as artists, as people that I

692
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,160
want to be like, to support them
in every way.

693
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,880
And that's part of why we love
New York so much is the first

694
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:58,520
time we went there, we got
invited to a cry wank, like

695
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,520
collaborative kind of
performance.

696
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,080
And it was so private.
And I was just like, this is

697
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,840
great.
And then I realized this is how

698
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:07,920
New York is.
You're always getting invited to

699
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,720
shows and there's some live
music everywhere and the

700
00:40:10,720 --> 00:40:15,320
comedies the most amazing.
So yeah, I totally.

701
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:21,040
I know Angie's gone to James
Mary as well and there's a long

702
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,680
history there friendship there,
but I and this could maybe be

703
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,520
off the record.
I was just curious what your

704
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:28,560
since you went did follow him
around.

705
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,600
How many shows was that James
somehow?

706
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:36,880
Like, what was it like in this,
the climate we're in now, being

707
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:41,040
in those queues, in those crowds
where some people have sort of

708
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,960
turned against your other band,
favorite band, you know, or your

709
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,480
maybe most favorite band?
I mean, I, I just don't mean to

710
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,120
make anybody uncomfortable, so I
don't bring it up with them.

711
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,400
It's not like, hey guys, I'm
here.

712
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,520
And then I also like, I also
like this controversial band.

713
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:01,200
So sit on that.
I, I, I just focus on James

714
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,800
Merrier for the day, you know?
I'm totally the opposite.

715
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:08,600
Like if anyone is wants to hold
an intelligent conversation, I'm

716
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,040
all there for it because I think
that this is such an amazing

717
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:19,280
opportunity to consider like not
not taking a a a worse enemy's

718
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,680
opinion of your dear friend or
beloved person.

719
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:28,440
I just that's so deep from just
like like the, the world, the

720
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:34,640
code I live by is just was so
tested by by the reaction of the

721
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:38,960
fans that I was shocked.
But I don't, I don't even know

722
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:40,760
the whole story because I just
don't even care.

723
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:45,400
I just think like I really,
really well.

724
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,960
I love the audiences too.
Like I have to say, this last

725
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,000
tour was the best ever.
It was so good.

726
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,400
And also I I did fall in love
with the Montanes, like because

727
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,480
they opened.
Yes, sorry.

728
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,640
Like I gave them a chance
because like Lovejoy must like

729
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,720
them.
So I'm gonna be open to it.

730
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:07,160
And then once I heard a few
times and now I listen to the

731
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,760
Lovejoy and the Montanes I
listen to every single day

732
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,120
still.
Like now I'm learning all the

733
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:15,800
words that I didn't catch before
and I just want to redo the

734
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,680
whole tour again.
So I want them to like have the

735
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:22,400
same tour again.
But I don't know who picked I, I

736
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:24,800
don't know who picked those
openers or who snagged both of

737
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,240
those bands.
But man, they really scored.

738
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:31,560
They're both great.
So you want that tour again?

739
00:42:32,240 --> 00:42:33,760
Yes.
Am I largely?

740
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,560
Some of the connections
shouldn't be so hard.

741
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:39,360
One time I couldn't, I could not
get from one city to another.

742
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,760
And thank God, Thank goodness he
stepped in and figured it out.

743
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,160
I had no idea.
We're not going to.

744
00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:46,000
Make it.
Are you talking about when the

745
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,440
airports went down?
Do you guys remember Jersey

746
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,120
government shutdown?
That was pretty.

747
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:53,560
Scary when they when they
cancelled a bunch of flights

748
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,040
because there wasn't enough that
was.

749
00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:56,960
Yeah.
Right between it we were.

750
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:58,920
Worried about that too?
Yeah, I don't love it.

751
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:05,000
Yeah, that was we got get by the
end $16.00 flights, Dick allowed

752
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,160
to figure that out.
Oh my.

753
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,320
Gosh, that'll be in my new
guide.

754
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,120
Oh yeah, Miles.
You got a lot of miles, right?

755
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,880
Kilometers.
Miles, am I likely to see you in

756
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,120
the UK for possible UK tour or?
Yeah.

757
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,760
Do you do that?
So.

758
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,280
Yeah, we're splitting up our
team actually.

759
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,720
So he's gonna take over for the
UK and.

760
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,200
OK.
Europe.

761
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:35,200
Like I said, like the the whole
thing is as many shows as we can

762
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,760
go to, we'll go to right?
And the situation soon is this

763
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,240
is my senior year of high
school.

764
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,440
So I'm going off to study audio
engineering in in college and

765
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:48,600
I'm planning on attending in the
UK so.

766
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,400
Nice, that'll.
Be different opportunity for me

767
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,960
to go to shows.
And the idea that we've talked

768
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,720
about was just that we go, you
know, I'll be at the shows in

769
00:43:57,720 --> 00:44:00,600
the UK and she'll be following
around in America and stuff like

770
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:01,880
that.
Yeah, so.

771
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:03,280
Brilliant.
We.

772
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,800
Can probably catch it.
That's so cool.

773
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,000
So you'd be gunning for John's
job, Asher?

774
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,360
Yeah, yeah.
No, I'm direct.

775
00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:13,760
That's actually the most
significant thing that happened

776
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,120
on this tour, I think.
Yeah, Well, because we went into

777
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,320
it.
Asher's the a student of quantum

778
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:25,120
mechanics and that was my major
toying with a 5.5 GPA which I

779
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,040
didn't think was possible before
I heard of it when it was

780
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,520
referred to with him, but I'm.
Not surprised.

781
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,080
Actually, no, it's surprised me
at all.

782
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,440
Now we're doing music, so it's
just.

783
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,000
No, actually he set up.
A little.

784
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,040
John, I actually reached out to
John and he gave me a lot of

785
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,720
really good advice about audio
engineering.

786
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,240
Awesome.
Going to school for it and stuff

787
00:44:46,240 --> 00:44:48,640
like that.
So he's been a lot of these

788
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,080
people only use this tour have
been like a good resource for

789
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:53,880
learning about the industry that
I plan on going in and working

790
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,720
in.
So that's.

791
00:44:54,720 --> 00:44:58,440
Been rough let me shadow them
that would be amazing yeah yeah,

792
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,880
stand up there with them right
that'd be fantastic No you're

793
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:03,520
good it's.
Hard.

794
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:09,120
It's hard to, yeah.
But how do you become an intern?

795
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:13,600
Do you guys know?
I mean, you could really tell

796
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,120
Asher that you'd really belt
this rapport with the band and

797
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:22,240
the crew throughout the tour.
And I mean, even Ash, which I

798
00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:26,560
thought this was fantastic on
the Reddit, he went so far as to

799
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,760
shout you out and say, you know,
thank you for being our constant

800
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,240
in a sea of confusion.
It was really nice to have you

801
00:45:32,240 --> 00:45:35,240
there, dude.
I I guess you already talked

802
00:45:35,240 --> 00:45:37,520
about it a little bit, but what
was it like being able to

803
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,920
connect with some of these
people on a more personal level?

804
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:43,680
And you don't have to get
detailed, you know, just it was.

805
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,760
It was bad, it was great.
Whatever.

806
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:47,160
You don't have to cut yet.
It was.

807
00:45:47,240 --> 00:45:49,040
Awful.
They just, they, they chatted

808
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,000
and they chatted my ears off,
no.

809
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:53,520
That doesn't support me.
Very nice.

810
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:59,880
They're, they're all really nice
people and it's, it's very nice

811
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:03,000
to speak with people that you
admire so much and learn from

812
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,600
them and stuff like that.
And it's, it's very, it's very

813
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,360
comforting.
Something that's stuck in my

814
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:12,000
mind a bit is I had a chat with
Ash before one of the shows one

815
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,880
time because I, so I've been
just receiving artists.

816
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,320
I was like, give me artist
recommendations kind of every

817
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:20,320
day.
I'd go in, in the meet and greet

818
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:21,480
and ask for artist
recommendations.

819
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,800
I'd go back, listen to them and
give them my thoughts.

820
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,560
And so before one of the shows,
I've chatted with Ash about

821
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:32,400
music and it was very, it was
very nice because we have a lot

822
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,240
of like, similar ideas and like
stuff that I'd been thinking on,

823
00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:37,360
he said.
And stuff like that, which is

824
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,680
kind of makes me feel like this
band is going to keep putting

825
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,160
out music that I like.
This band is like, they have

826
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,560
that understanding of music that
I can appreciate and stuff like

827
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:50,680
that.
And it's getting, yeah, getting

828
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:53,920
to know the band as well.
It was very nice to have

829
00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:59,400
somebody to like, like
decompress with before each

830
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,600
show.
Like a little reset, but a

831
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,320
little constant.
A little.

832
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:09,840
It was good just a little what
with there's a specific word I'm

833
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,440
looking for but like have it
ritual little ritual before the

834
00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:15,320
show.
Yeah, it's meeting the band,

835
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:19,200
Yeah.
And it's probably really neat

836
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:23,680
when you when you realize that
they're all super nice people.

837
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,120
That probably is a good feeling
too.

838
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,200
Do we?
Do we have better improved

839
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:34,160
access to them over UK?
Like is it in the UK?

840
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,360
Are they just so big that
there's no way you could get to

841
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:42,200
see them ever?
Cuz I love meeting with like

842
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:46,160
Mark on the sidewalks outside of
gigs so many times.

843
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,160
Like he just happened to hang be
hanging out.

844
00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:50,560
I feel like he'd be doing that
there.

845
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,840
He does his little cigarette
breaks and yeah, yeah.

846
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,600
I only approached him once, but
it was just like just, yeah,

847
00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:02,480
kind of a nice consonant.
Faces like but likewise, both

848
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:05,160
for them and you A.
Lot of the times.

849
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:09,280
The thing is, this was the first
meet and greet VIP thing that

850
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,400
they've done.
And it was in America.

851
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:17,480
But I know on the Reddit and
everything like that and people

852
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,320
used to say, is there a chance
of meeting the band after the

853
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,280
gig?
And I think that's a lot of

854
00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,840
where it happened.
And sometimes again beforehand,

855
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,920
if you were lucky enough to be
in the queue early and they were

856
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:33,360
out having a smoke and you were
in the right place right time,

857
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:38,720
then you got to say hello.
I'm so hoping they do the main

858
00:48:38,720 --> 00:48:42,520
and greet and the whole VIP in
the UK.

859
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,560
Yeah, because you'll miss it.
Yeah.

860
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,960
Yeah, I think the VIP was a very
nice thing.

861
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:57,120
It seems like a very good ways
to get to like organize, meeting

862
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,600
the fans because like they
would, I had a lot of previous

863
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,960
shows they would come out
afterwards and say hi to fans

864
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:04,440
and stuff like that.
And it's chaos.

865
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,560
Yeah, Yeah.
But having the VIP seems like a

866
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,640
more like.
Sophisticated.

867
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:15,000
Organized.
This is more organized way or

868
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:16,400
not, yeah.
It's nice it works.

869
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,840
Yeah, they seem to run
everything so beautifully.

870
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:23,960
I was really impressed with.
Just Buster.

871
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,280
It's like it's the.
Culture of people getting along

872
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:30,440
and all having the same the Co
goal of everyone having a

873
00:49:30,440 --> 00:49:33,440
wonderful experience and you
just you feel it all the way

874
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,080
through.
There's no steps of the way.

875
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,920
You feel like abandoned.
So it's kind of cool that way.

876
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:41,200
And there was no rush, like it
didn't, you didn't feel rushed.

877
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,720
The meet and greets like, yeah,
they went overtime sometimes,

878
00:49:47,720 --> 00:49:52,040
but you never felt like rushed.
And I, I mean, we got to a few

879
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,080
VIP mean greets who are
fortunate there.

880
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,840
So, but I was curious if you
planned what you were going to

881
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:01,680
say or talk about or bring up or
your poses that you're doing,

882
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:04,760
did you plan each one or just
wing it every time?

883
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:10,080
Yeah, the poses specifically
started as like a joke between

884
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,800
me and a friend at the Boston
show, which is the first, first

885
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,000
stop on the tour.
And we just found, like, these

886
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,360
stock images of silly poses.
And I was like, I'm just going

887
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,800
to get sillier each time.
And.

888
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:23,840
You.
You brought that to them.

889
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,680
Yeah, yeah, I've showed them the
photo and be like this.

890
00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:35,320
Is there is there any that they
said no?

891
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,400
Two yeah, actually this.
So after a while, I kind of

892
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:42,280
dropped the stock photo thing in
favor of just.

893
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,720
I would go on my notes app and I
would type out Ash doing this,

894
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,480
Mark doing this and just kind of
do it like that.

895
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:53,640
And it was for the IT was for
the Halloween show.

896
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,360
I was strapped up.
I was dressed up as Pastor Gold

897
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:57,440
did.
You see that?

898
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,840
Yeah, that was yeah, I couldn't.
Believe it, the whole I kept

899
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,520
writing about them all the
entire show, because everyone's.

900
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:07,760
Yeah.
Were you in like 1,000,000

901
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:09,840
people's pictures that day
Selfie?

902
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:11,920
Yeah, I got, I got a few people
coming up.

903
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,200
Can we get a selfie?
Yeah, that's so cool.

904
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:18,520
But at that show, at that show,
I think it's the only time I

905
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,120
turned it down.
I asked for Joe to be held up

906
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,360
because in the music video, you
know, he's floating while being

907
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,120
baptized, but he had a tummy
ache.

908
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:29,120
Yeah.
So how did you turn that one

909
00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:30,640
down?
But aside from there, they're up

910
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,840
for a lot of strange, funny
stuff.

911
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,440
I think that day when you were
in that costume, though, you

912
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,880
should have had like a booth at
the front to like.

913
00:51:41,080 --> 00:51:43,160
Right.
Like there should have been a

914
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:44,000
greeting woman.
I just.

915
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,800
It wasn't your only trial on
Yeah.

916
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,480
You could have just stood at the
corner of the stage, you know?

917
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:56,000
Yes, I was surprised, but he
never got on stage like that one

918
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:57,520
time.
He should have got on stage that

919
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,360
time.
It was amazing.

920
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,640
And how did you find this?
Or shot in the cloud like from

921
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:05,360
the video.
Sorry.

922
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,000
Angie, what were you gonna say?
He did weeks of research to find

923
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,480
all the pieces.
OK, that's what I was gonna say.

924
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,480
How did you ever find that suit?
It was perfect.

925
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:19,400
Yeah, no, I reached out to the
to the director of that music

926
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:24,560
video, Aaron Bishop, and he
reached out on my behalf to the

927
00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:28,760
costume costuming and sent me
the exact piece.

928
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,400
And so I just purchased, ordered
that and had it.

929
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:35,680
That's so cool.
And the wig too.

930
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,520
We got to see the wig wrapper on
recently.

931
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,240
Not the wig.
And you're there for the show

932
00:52:41,240 --> 00:52:45,320
that I got that at I.
So this was that.

933
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,960
Yeah, this was I It's
Minneapolis, right?

934
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,440
That's the name of the city.
Yeah.

935
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:56,960
Yeah, I, I ran off to a thrift
store nearby because I was like,

936
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,320
huh, you know, I still need to
get that wig for that Halloween

937
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:01,000
costume.
Yeah.

938
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:05,800
And I just, I found a brown Bob
and the day of we had some

939
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,400
scissors in line and just cut it
into shape.

940
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,520
Oh, that's cool.
What a perfect place to do it.

941
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:13,960
Yeah, I was like I was.
Just like doing.

942
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,000
It it was probably about 10
minutes before the show that we

943
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,880
were still snipping at the wig.
Oh.

944
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:22,280
That's fine.
Oh.

945
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,000
Wow.
Oh my gosh.

946
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:26,120
So crazy.
Well, you looked amazing.

947
00:53:26,240 --> 00:53:28,480
Thank you.
Just listening to sort of what

948
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,520
you were saying, You you spoke
to the noisy Act boys.

949
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,160
I've had a chat with them as
well.

950
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:39,960
Everybody sort of surrounding
Lovejoy have been so great

951
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:44,240
towards the fans, you know, just
listening to you say that and

952
00:53:44,240 --> 00:53:48,000
it's like brilliant fans, you
know what I mean?

953
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,440
The noisy act boys.
Brilliant.

954
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:55,000
Yeah, yeah, brilliant.
Yeah, IA 100% trust them talking

955
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:58,560
to anybody because they just say
the the sweetest kind of thing

956
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:00,200
it's.
It's a nice little ecosystem

957
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,120
nickname.
Yeah, they're very intuitive, I

958
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:06,720
think, and like and aware and
alert of everything.

959
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:08,720
It's quite impressive.
That's great.

960
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,120
Yeah, I'm.
Glad they all found each other,

961
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,160
yeah?
Absolutely.

962
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,960
They get a lot too.
That's such a good example for

963
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:22,040
everyone, all the fans to see.
I like that.

964
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:24,840
So did you and this is for both
of you.

965
00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:28,520
Did you have a go to Rd. meal?
Like if you were just hungry and

966
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,320
tired you're like OK, I'm just
gonna get this because I know

967
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,120
it's gonna work.
Anything specific?

968
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,960
I, I probably averaged more than
one Chipotle meal a day while on

969
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:39,720
that tour.
Yeah.

970
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,080
So I'm, I'm vegan, so there's
not really a lot of fast food

971
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:46,320
spots that are good and like
trying to stay healthy while on

972
00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:48,240
the tour.
So I don't just keel over at one

973
00:54:48,240 --> 00:54:49,680
of the shows, you know?
Yeah.

974
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:54,040
And Chipotle is a pretty good,
pretty good price to calorie

975
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,800
ratio.
It was the, IT was the go to,

976
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:59,040
yeah.
And they're everywhere, like.

977
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,760
Really reliable, know what
you're gonna what to expect.

978
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,120
Yep, back to Chipotle.
Yeah, I think I've seen you with

979
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,120
a few Chipotle bags here and
there.

980
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:14,920
Chipotle.
Chipotle.

981
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,000
And that makes me think too,
because the band, I feel like

982
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,360
each of them all, I don't know
if Ash did, but I feel like they

983
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:27,120
each took turns getting sick.
Did you have did you get the

984
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,720
tour flu too or did you vitamin
up?

985
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,680
I I survived the entire tour
without so much as a sniffle

986
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:44,200
until the day after the last
show I woke up feeling awful and

987
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:48,040
I I was sick for probably like a
week and 1/2 after that but.

988
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:50,880
So yeah.
Yeah, his skull left at.

989
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:53,200
Least it held off.
It's all that late, Asher.

990
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,840
Yeah.
They're like, yeah, right,

991
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,600
you're sick, you better have a
doctor's note for you.

992
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,040
Yeah, but.
That's another thing to talk

993
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:06,120
about is the fact that you are
and still in high school, almost

994
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:11,880
finishing up now, but how they
took to these plans of yours.

995
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,720
Defense do you talk to like the
teachers were like we would love

996
00:56:16,720 --> 00:56:18,880
him to be back?
Yeah.

997
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:22,720
Yeah.
Yeah, So I, I spoke with them.

998
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,360
This was a debacle.
So I spoke with them before,

999
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,720
beforehand.
And I was like, this is exactly

1000
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:30,200
what I'm going to do.
I will be back at this point.

1001
00:56:30,880 --> 00:56:33,640
Is this OK?
And they're like, yeah, man, if

1002
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,280
you keep, if you keep turning in
your work, you're good.

1003
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,040
And then I came back and they're
like, you're de enrolled

1004
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,640
actually.
And so why I got it sorted and I

1005
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,960
was re enrolled for semester
too, but now I have to do some

1006
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,840
online classes or in order to
make up the 2 credits that I

1007
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,840
needed to graduate from that
first semester.

1008
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,360
But it doesn't affect too much
because I've already got like

1009
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,480
the GPA and the way UK
admissions work.

1010
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,440
So yeah, that.
Works out.

1011
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:03,840
If anyone can do it, that's.
Good.

1012
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:04,280
Will that?
Yeah.

1013
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,480
I think it's really worth it
though, because like, look at

1014
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:09,560
your life.
What are you?

1015
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:10,720
What are you doing with your
life?

1016
00:57:10,720 --> 00:57:14,320
Are you doing the same thing
every day, the same thing as

1017
00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,120
everyone else?
Or did you do something that you

1018
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,920
really felt like was worth your
time and your energy and

1019
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,120
there's.
No regrets, I'm sure you've.

1020
00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:26,440
Embarked on something in life
and help other people and yeah

1021
00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:29,920
and also enjoy something that
you're excited about it just

1022
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:32,800
it's I don't think it's that
extreme in.

1023
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,960
In the most genuine way.
Oh, you're such a good mom.

1024
00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:41,160
I agree, yes.
With my change in my change over

1025
00:57:41,160 --> 00:57:45,600
to studying audio engineering, I
think that going on the tour has

1026
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,960
given me more insight into that
profession than than school

1027
00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:51,520
would.
Than sitting behind a desk.

1028
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,240
Yeah, yeah.
Absolutely for.

1029
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:57,560
Sure, yes.
Here in the UK we're not allowed

1030
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,120
to take the kids out of school,
otherwise you get fined.

1031
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:06,360
But what they say, oh, I'm going
to, yeah, we get fined if you

1032
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:07,800
take the kids out of school.
Holy smokes.

1033
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,720
If so, if I said we're going to
have a week, two weeks out of

1034
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:16,880
school or that's it, it's £120
per parent or something like

1035
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,000
that.
Yeah.

1036
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,480
If I took them to Rome to see
all the Roman or Pompeii in

1037
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:29,000
Italy and gave them a history
lesson, I'd still be fined.

1038
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:34,200
But you know, having given them
an experience or like yourself

1039
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:39,720
having that experience and also
learning by watching and all

1040
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:44,520
that sort of stuff.
I, I totally agree with it.

1041
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Seven weeks, maybe not, but I,
you know, I mean.

1042
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:51,960
Yeah, but he's gonna leave now
in a in a few months, for the

1043
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:53,400
rest of his life.
I don't have to.

1044
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:55,480
Worry about shows work blah blah
blah.

1045
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:56,720
I think it's.
Wonderful.

1046
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:57,160
Exactly.
He's.

1047
00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,320
Doing absolutely.
And the time you guys had to

1048
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:02,800
spend together.
Yeah, yeah.

1049
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,400
We got tried to know each other.
He's the youngest, so you know,

1050
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,440
this is like our time to.
Oh, it's so special.

1051
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:13,320
Hang out.
I love we love this so time.

1052
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,600
Back Were there ever any?
No, you don't, you don't, you

1053
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:19,520
don't.
And I think it's fantastic.

1054
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:23,280
I, I think you're an amazing mom
for letting him do this, really.

1055
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,640
I do.
Were there ever any challenges

1056
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,080
from traveling together?
Did you ever just kind of

1057
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,840
getting in in each other's space
too much or have any like really

1058
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,680
tired disagreements or like
we're just over each other or

1059
00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,360
anything like that?
You mean the missed flight?

1060
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:43,160
Well, yeah.
Hold down that answer real

1061
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:44,000
quick.
Expensive.

1062
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,080
It was an expensive mistake you
only make once in life.

1063
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:49,600
I mean, I think we get along
really well.

1064
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:53,640
Yeah, he's.
Being he's honest, I mean, what

1065
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:55,520
else do you?
Want I I think, I think it's

1066
00:59:55,520 --> 01:00:00,480
definitely a feat to go to go
that long sharing, sharing a

1067
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:04,120
hotel room every night, being
next to on a plane seat.

1068
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:07,760
And I think that we did it
pretty, pretty Dang well, I

1069
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:08,360
think.
Yeah.

1070
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:14,400
There's definitely stuff for we
need to do this and a little bit

1071
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,960
of panic on travel planning and
stuff like that and stress, but

1072
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,720
I feel like we handled it.
Yeah, it was all very last

1073
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,840
second everything.
And then then we got really good

1074
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,600
at doing that way.
So wow, I feel like more

1075
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,120
capable.
I, I develop my skills so like

1076
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:31,680
that's.
True.

1077
01:00:32,120 --> 01:00:33,840
What's the downside of this, you
know?

1078
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,920
You're still.
Still learning, still growing,

1079
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,920
but it doesn't stop.
Right.

1080
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:40,720
Exactly.
Lifelong runner, Yeah.

1081
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,720
You guys you guys are making my
face hurt from smiling so much

1082
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:47,680
I.
Know where you always have this?

1083
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:52,200
Yeah.
But I, I was the primary

1084
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:54,000
navigator.
So it's been like definitely a

1085
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,600
very big, very big learning
journey for me to get very good

1086
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,600
at navigating cities that I
haven't been in before and stuff

1087
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,880
like that.
And like picking out like

1088
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,320
helping find hotels and flights
and stuff like that as well.

1089
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,480
And that's been a lot of skills
that I'm sure are going to be

1090
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,360
very, very useful.
Yeah, absolutely.

1091
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:16,920
Important life skills.
I know I I've done a down to a

1092
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:20,160
lot of places with my daughter
and we live so close to New

1093
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,920
York.
We're always in the city and

1094
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,520
navigating the subways and
things.

1095
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:27,080
And you know, her friends will
say that they want to spend the

1096
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:29,160
day in the city and they're
like, but how do we do that?

1097
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:31,040
She's like, you just take the
train, then you just hop on the

1098
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:32,960
subway and they're like, I don't
know how to do that.

1099
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,200
She's like what I do and like, I
wouldn't even have a worry in

1100
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,320
the world if she did it.
You know, she went with her

1101
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,440
friends so.
Yeah, I've told Pebble the same

1102
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:44,760
thing.
Yeah.

1103
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,320
It's good to have that real
world kind of St. you know?

1104
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,680
Yeah, Logical experience, you
know how to, how to get around

1105
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,040
in a city, stuff like that.
Yeah, cuz it's a different world

1106
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:59,560
now, right When when I was 5,
I'd walk, walk to the beach.

1107
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,120
It was an hour walk, but I
walked at the beach alone like

1108
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:03,320
it was.
Just wild.

1109
01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,720
Normal back then.
Safe.

1110
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:11,880
And there, yeah.
So we have to ask about Anvil

1111
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:15,080
cards.
Yes.

1112
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:21,680
Yeah, Anvil cards.
So I think it was what, 27

1113
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:25,280
shows?
So I got, I got over well over

1114
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,680
100 I believe, but I got well
over 100.

1115
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:33,280
I know that and I'm still
missing one card, the tomorrow

1116
01:02:33,280 --> 01:02:35,480
card even though.
Are you trading like over

1117
01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:39,120
training?
Every every day I every day I

1118
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,840
was like, hey, what cards have
you got?

1119
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,160
What cards have you got?
And if they had the tomorrow,

1120
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,320
I'd give them the whole pack if
they did.

1121
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:48,480
But I never ran into somebody.
Yeah.

1122
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:49,840
How big?
Was the.

1123
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,960
Mailer that you got with the
cards from the shows that didn't

1124
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,480
have them.
It was.

1125
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,000
Yeah, it was I.
Was thinking the second thing I

1126
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,720
didn't.
Know it was from them and I'm

1127
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,440
like your friend in Denver sent
you something.

1128
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:05,800
Yeah, yeah.
And then Angie figured out who

1129
01:03:05,800 --> 01:03:07,520
it was.
We're like, oh, that makes

1130
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,920
sense.
Oh man, I was hoping you'd say

1131
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:11,960
that you'd gotten that card.
I know the last time we talked

1132
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:13,760
even got it.
Darn.

1133
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:17,600
I was trying to exchange with
other people in line and just

1134
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,600
like when I had a unopened pack,
I'd be like, I'll trade you.

1135
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,000
There might be another one in
here.

1136
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:23,800
I don't know like what's in here
but.

1137
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,960
Yeah.
Have you not considered just

1138
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:33,920
sort of, you know, messaging
them somehow and saying please

1139
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:38,800
can I have a tomorrow card?
I that they know he wants that,

1140
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:40,120
no.
That actually is a funny thing.

1141
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:46,000
I don't know if Ash is planning
something because I at the last

1142
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,840
show I brought in a few of my
Anvil cards that were

1143
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:53,240
specifically like the Ash Kibosu
card or the color and mark card

1144
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,400
or the mark and will card.
And I'd be like, OK, you 2

1145
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:57,760
signed this one cuz you're on
it.

1146
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,440
You send this one, you're on it.
So just those cards.

1147
01:04:00,800 --> 01:04:03,440
And Ash was like, go, I could,
he was going through US.

1148
01:04:03,520 --> 01:04:05,520
He was like, so you don't have
this and you don't have this and

1149
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:08,320
you don't have this.
And I, I'm not quite sure what

1150
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:13,600
he was planning, but I'm, I'm,
I'm sure some ways somehow I

1151
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:17,600
could, I could persuade that I
could persuade a tomorrow card

1152
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:20,760
or something.
But half the fun is the trading

1153
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:22,800
so.
Well, when they play the UK and

1154
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,160
I hope your college plans line
up with their tour plans.

1155
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,600
That would, yeah.
Unfortunate, yes.

1156
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:32,440
In the UK, in America, in
America, all in the UK.

1157
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,360
Right.
Well, that happened.

1158
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,320
I was in Brighton when they came
here.

1159
01:04:37,840 --> 01:04:41,520
I was in freaking Brighton and
Summerfest.

1160
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,080
I was like, come on.
Thinking of you, though, you

1161
01:04:44,080 --> 01:04:47,200
were with us in our hearts.
How was she not here?

1162
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,440
I have.
So sick, remember?

1163
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:51,840
Yes.
That was ridiculous.

1164
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,120
I was like, played there for two
years for my daughter's Sweet 16

1165
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:59,000
gift, and then I thought we'd
run into them and no, they're in

1166
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,000
freaking Wisconsin of all
places, where Angie lives.

1167
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,320
You were like they're hanging
out at wherever usually hang

1168
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:10,080
out.
This is the question before but

1169
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:14,200
I didn't get to answer it.
When we met them in St.

1170
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:19,200
Petersburg, FL, I asked them if
they had been to the Capybara

1171
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,440
Capybara Cafe and played with
them.

1172
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:26,160
Now we do yoga with capybara
over here but it's just like.

1173
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,920
I couldn't believe they didn't
know they weren't there.

1174
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:32,240
I was like I just.
Wanted.

1175
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,240
To like I.
Wish I would have talked to them

1176
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,320
sooner.
I just didn't feel like gutsy

1177
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,040
enough I guess because I feel
like if I'm not bringing value I

1178
01:05:41,040 --> 01:05:44,920
don't want to interact like it.
Just like take have your

1179
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,400
peaceful time.
Yeah, I wish I would have

1180
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,280
contacted them before the tour.
Dear Lovejoy.

1181
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:56,000
Have you heard?
Oh, I've booked a table at the

1182
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,760
Capybara Cafe for 7:00 PM blah
blah blah.

1183
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,520
Please come and join me.
Yeah.

1184
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,440
That that'll work.
Yeah, yeah, it.

1185
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,240
Would be far from the strangest
message they've received ever,

1186
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:12,160
I'm sure.
Have.

1187
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,280
You done this yoga with
Capybara's?

1188
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,480
Yeah, I'm just about to next
month.

1189
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,440
That's awesome.
You'll have to let us know how

1190
01:06:22,440 --> 01:06:27,400
that is I'm I'm interested I.
Might have to travel for that,

1191
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,680
not just for.
Please, The thing is, is it

1192
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,880
looks, it looks fake, like it
looks like AI because they're

1193
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:36,200
just so cool, like.
It's like giant Guinea pigs.

1194
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,720
They're ridiculous.
Yeah, yeah, but you can cuddle

1195
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:41,480
them if you go to the cafe, or
you can do yoga with them if you

1196
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,960
go to Big Cat Habitat.
David, be all over that cuddling

1197
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,600
capybaras.
What do you think?

1198
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,080
Well, he's leaving.
He's leaving us.

1199
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:50,600
I'm so offended.
How dare.

1200
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:55,720
You say that hey, my Dave.
Oh, method to his madness.

1201
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:57,520
Very nice.
They are.

1202
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:01,000
It's a capybara.
Did you?

1203
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:06,680
Were you really?
We all know about when people

1204
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,080
run into the members of the
band, sometimes they like to

1205
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,600
divulge little tidbits here and
there.

1206
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:14,160
Did you feel like you're Privy
to any?

1207
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:17,160
And you don't have to tell us
what it is Privy to, like future

1208
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:23,360
plans or with the re release of
the vinyl or toward ideas or

1209
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:29,240
anything else.
Yeah, I, I, I, I think, I think

1210
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:31,680
I think a lot of it is public
knowledge by now.

1211
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:35,840
But like at one of the at one of
the meet and greets, I was like,

1212
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:38,160
what's the deal with wasted
summer guys?

1213
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,280
And then the whole band was
like, no, we can't tell you.

1214
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,440
And Will, who wasn't able to
talk that day because he was on

1215
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,360
vocal rest.
He started signing stuff out to

1216
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:51,240
me.
He was going and signing up and

1217
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,800
it was like the next day that I
figured out.

1218
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:59,440
It's really saying, you know.
OK, in code, yeah.

1219
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,000
Neat.
And I think about like the hours

1220
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,640
coming, like more vinyl coming
out.

1221
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:07,760
Vinyl's coming out with extra
songs.

1222
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,160
And we know 4 songs like yeah,
that's since the tour.

1223
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:15,800
We got that from Ash.
I'm really unsure about what the

1224
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:19,479
four, if it if it is 4 songs,
I'm unsure about that about that

1225
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,279
tidbit.
OK, OK.

1226
01:08:22,319 --> 01:08:24,399
It'd be months.
I don't know.

1227
01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:27,439
Oh, they mean timing number
songs.

1228
01:08:28,319 --> 01:08:28,920
Yeah.
Anything.

1229
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,000
No, except 4.
Ash went four.

1230
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:32,880
Yeah.
But he means 4.

1231
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:33,720
Maybe he meant 4.
Months.

1232
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,720
No.
And then if you listen to it

1233
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,319
again, 4th.
Month April.

1234
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:40,960
Well, that's.
Our idea?

1235
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:42,960
April the 3rd anyway.
Or around that.

1236
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,479
That was my guess.
He said.

1237
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:48,680
That's right, four new tracks,
Wilson.

1238
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,600
I'm curious.
Go back and watch that, I'm

1239
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:53,640
curious.
Yeah, we need the transcripts.

1240
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:58,279
Like, I wonder what, what's it
going to be like?

1241
01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:04,000
Because when they first wish to
be from like so 50s classic, oh,

1242
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:09,080
not classic rock, but like like
50's rock inspired to be this

1243
01:09:09,080 --> 01:09:13,279
new harder rock style.
I was really like scared at

1244
01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:14,760
first.
I didn't know if I would like

1245
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:16,800
it.
But do you remember how scared I

1246
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,800
was?
I was terrified.

1247
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:23,040
I was so tired.
And now I love it so much.

1248
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,319
I love it even more.
I feel like it's edgier, more

1249
01:09:26,359 --> 01:09:30,160
sophisticated and more developed
and like, oh, now it's like more

1250
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:30,840
mature.
It's true.

1251
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,000
It's been perfect for me because
I was there when they were there

1252
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,399
and I'm, you know, following
along slowly to be caught up at

1253
01:09:39,399 --> 01:09:41,880
the NASA.
So what would you say is your

1254
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,960
your favorite track of this
album pick?

1255
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,960
You're asking me?
Both of you.

1256
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:52,000
The White Shark Cafe.
White Shark Cafe, Yeah.

1257
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:52,760
That's mine.
Yeah.

1258
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,960
Yeah, I think the live version
definitely has a lot to do with

1259
01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:58,880
why I like it so much.
That's fair enough.

1260
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:01,360
Yeah.
And has some of the best visuals

1261
01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,720
live.
And Wilbert dancing to it, Yeah.

1262
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,920
Yeah.
You see, Wait, we got White

1263
01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:11,240
Shark Cafe, so it was the first
time anybody had heard it.

1264
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,480
We had no visuals, nothing like
that.

1265
01:10:14,480 --> 01:10:17,600
The London gig, he was still
playing a guitar.

1266
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:21,520
So I'm really looking forward to
seeing what you're saying,

1267
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:24,440
everything that you've
experienced.

1268
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,280
Dave, have you got your box so
you can start your box jumping?

1269
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,720
Oh, that's the other character,
yes.

1270
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:35,880
We want to see you from the
front of you that are jumping

1271
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,000
high.
He doesn't know what that is.

1272
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:42,200
He works for a packaging
delivery company he's thinking

1273
01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:45,440
about right now.
Yeah, lots of boxes.

1274
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:47,600
Yeah, he's surrounded by.
Boxes, Asher, Have you actually

1275
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,920
Asher, have you actually
measured how high you can

1276
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,000
actually jump?
Because, I mean, that's insane.

1277
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:57,640
Yeah, yeah, I got up to.
So I was.

1278
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:01,080
I was beforehand because I play
basketball, but also because I'm

1279
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:02,520
going to be doing so many shows
in a row.

1280
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,040
I want to be able to jump every
night, not jump two nights in a

1281
01:11:05,040 --> 01:11:07,960
row and then stands totally
still the next one.

1282
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,000
Gotcha.
So I was doing box jumps with

1283
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:14,560
weights and I was like
progressively increasing the

1284
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,840
weight, increasing the height.
I ended up getting to 40 lbs

1285
01:11:19,440 --> 01:11:24,760
twenty inches and this was as
high as the box went by.

1286
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:28,040
I got 30 inches without any
weights.

1287
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:30,120
That was that was the highest
I've you're.

1288
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:32,920
Actually kidding me.
Do you catch, like, the band

1289
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,040
members, like, get like, just
like, cracking up at you?

1290
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,640
Like when you're like almost
touching the ceiling, Like,

1291
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,840
yeah, I know.
Right.

1292
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,000
I love it with Will.
That's like.

1293
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,120
Quite, yeah.
That's already.

1294
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:49,280
The the the second show of the
tour, the second, the mean greet

1295
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:53,600
started there, like before we
begin, how do you jump so hot?

1296
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:58,520
So it was I, I think I'm really
bad at noticing when they

1297
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,800
noticed me because I didn't
really notice them looking at me

1298
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:07,080
at all that first show.
But yeah, they definitely, I

1299
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,800
think they're amused by it.
Yeah, I mean, you can't miss yet

1300
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:12,280
with that blonde hair.
You're at the barricade.

1301
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,560
And the barricade helps.
I found it very helpful.

1302
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,520
Maybe it's with my age.
I find it very helpful.

1303
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,400
Holding the railing, jumping
like.

1304
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:21,320
That's your right, it was.
Like a safety.

1305
01:12:21,480 --> 01:12:24,480
Yeah.
It was like my Walker, my

1306
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:29,440
jumper, my not my Walker, but I
was showing a friend at work

1307
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:32,840
videos of from the show's
because I was telling about this

1308
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,360
interview today and they were
getting such a kick out of like

1309
01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:36,960
every video like Lovejoy put
out.

1310
01:12:36,960 --> 01:12:39,240
You see, you're jumping in the
middle.

1311
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,280
Yeah.
Oh, there he is.

1312
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,720
That's my favorite shows is when
everyone starts jumping with

1313
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,200
them.
Like he leads it and starts in

1314
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,120
events.
And then when Wilbur says jump,

1315
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:51,480
that's.
Funny.

1316
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,040
Yeah.
You gotta get the energy going.

1317
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,200
Yeah, exactly.
So we're saying it.

1318
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,960
Sounds about to be first.
When Wilbur says jump, Asher

1319
01:12:57,960 --> 01:13:02,480
says how high.
Right.

1320
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:06,080
Oh my.
So you're kind of like.

1321
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:08,840
A You're like a celebrity now
between playing with Wilbur,

1322
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:13,240
being recognized now everywhere.
So I think that's that's cool.

1323
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,520
It's exciting, right?
Yeah, it was funny playing with

1324
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:20,040
Wilbur was very late into the
into the tour, but after that,

1325
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,120
people would be like, you're the
guy, you're the guy.

1326
01:13:24,600 --> 01:13:26,960
I started getting recognized.
That shows that past that, yeah.

1327
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,240
And it was always easy for me to
point him out because I'd be

1328
01:13:30,240 --> 01:13:33,960
like in the back or in the
balcony and I'd just be like,

1329
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:37,400
oh, that's my son there, the one
that's jumping and three feet

1330
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:39,320
above everyone.
It was so easy.

1331
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:41,760
It was fun that way.
I was actually talking to one of

1332
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:45,720
the the cart artists last night
and I mentioned we were

1333
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:49,840
recording today interviewing a
super fan and she goes wait a

1334
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:51,640
minute, is it the blonde guy
that jumps?

1335
01:13:55,920 --> 01:14:00,600
Your reputation precedes you.
Yeah, Don't cut your hair now.

1336
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,040
Oh man.
Well, I'm so happy for the both

1337
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,880
of you.
Honestly, this this experience

1338
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:09,840
couldn't have happened to two
better people.

1339
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,960
I adore both of you, Heather.
I will never forget when, when

1340
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,960
our group was in Brooklyn and we
were dying of thirst and you

1341
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:20,040
were you kept bringing us these
little paper cups of water.

1342
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:21,600
That's right.
That was you.

1343
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,440
Thank you.
Yes.

1344
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:24,800
Thank you.
Oh my gosh.

1345
01:14:25,440 --> 01:14:26,640
That was so sweet.
You were a.

1346
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,720
Mama to us.
Yeah, it was fun.

1347
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,480
I like if I can figure out a way
of something I can do to make

1348
01:14:31,480 --> 01:14:33,160
someone else's day better, I'll
totally do it.

1349
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:35,120
He's always trying to help
people, the concerts and stuff.

1350
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,720
That's cool, I like.
That yeah.

1351
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,640
And I've made forensic concerts
too, so.

1352
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:41,800
And they're starting to come
visit us in Florida.

1353
01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:44,800
So the he's open when you want
to come down.

1354
01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:48,200
It's it's 23°.
Nice.

1355
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:51,280
Most.
Of the time including today

1356
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,920
right now so I just.
Yeah, I'm freezing right now,

1357
01:14:54,920 --> 01:15:00,520
sitting here.
We might have talked about this

1358
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:04,480
a little bit already, but do you
guys have advice for anybody

1359
01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:07,040
that wants to follow in your
footsteps and do something like

1360
01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:09,520
this?
If you're doing it in America,

1361
01:15:11,200 --> 01:15:13,160
flying is probably gonna be a
big part of it.

1362
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:19,640
Frontier has a thing, this is,
this is very specific, but

1363
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:23,000
Frontier has a thing where if
you pay, if you pay I think like

1364
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:27,080
$200, then for the rest of like
the season, you know, like the

1365
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:32,240
quarter of the year, you can get
any flight for only the price

1366
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:37,240
that that airport itself makes
the planes pay per passenger.

1367
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:42,320
So it's basically every flight
is $16.00 and you can get it the

1368
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,160
day off.
Yeah, it's called Go Wild.

1369
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:49,720
But that that's a very specific,
that's very, that's, that's

1370
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:51,480
important.
That's a lot of money saved and

1371
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:54,760
a lot of shorter travel.
Yeah, Angie, take note.

1372
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:57,760
Yeah, I know.
Where's my pen?

1373
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,520
And paper and write this.
Out the funniest part of that is

1374
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,200
just like if you just said,
well, our biggest tip is to go

1375
01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:04,760
wild.
People would have to look it up

1376
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,720
and find this and like the whole
thing would really be exactly

1377
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,600
like you said.
I I'm a big opponent, it'll go a

1378
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:13,840
while.
Yeah, that that changed the.

1379
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,280
Whole game for.
Me too because like instead of

1380
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:22,120
like $1000 it was like.
But but in general, if, if

1381
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:25,080
you're following around a tour
like this, you need to

1382
01:16:25,080 --> 01:16:29,400
prioritize getting getting 8
hours of sleep and getting on a

1383
01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:32,720
food in for the day because you
don't want to be you don't want

1384
01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,120
to go an unprepared and end up
missing the show because of it.

1385
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,160
Like passing out during the show
and then but if you just if you

1386
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,160
would just spent a little bit
earlier in the day instead of

1387
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,560
queuing, eating, you probably
would have had a better time.

1388
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,920
Yeah, that's you gotta
prioritize the health.

1389
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,720
Yeah, health does come first.
Yeah, people weren't thinking

1390
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,080
about that.
They were thinking about, you

1391
01:16:53,080 --> 01:16:55,040
know, what are they gonna sign?
What are they gonna say?

1392
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,160
What are they gonna pose?
Yeah, That's important though.

1393
01:16:58,440 --> 01:17:01,520
The whole show stops because the
band is so sweet and caring.

1394
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,120
You consider it.
They'll stop the whole show

1395
01:17:03,120 --> 01:17:07,720
because someone's having a a
health issue in the audience,

1396
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,960
which I don't know about
everyone else, but for me in the

1397
01:17:10,960 --> 01:17:13,560
audience, like I feel so bad for
them, even though there's

1398
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:18,720
virtually nothing I can ever do.
I know, but I still feel like

1399
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,960
it.
It brings down the energy of the

1400
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:24,360
whole thing and why we're there.
So I just, I'm a big proponent

1401
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:27,760
of like preparing yourself,
eating if you're, if that makes

1402
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:29,360
you feel better and keep it
going.

1403
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:32,800
Yeah, take break and eat like
please don't stop it for

1404
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,800
yourself and miss out on the
whole night or have a bad, you

1405
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,880
know, memory for yourself and
and people around you who are

1406
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:39,880
care.
You know that's.

1407
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,480
Such a good point because I
think, and I'm guilty of it, I

1408
01:17:43,480 --> 01:17:47,440
have to remind myself and my
daughter, OK, you got to eat.

1409
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:50,720
You got to drink because you're
right, you're excited and you

1410
01:17:50,720 --> 01:17:53,680
don't think about those things.
So I'm glad you brought that up.

1411
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,120
Adrenaline.
Yeah, yeah, good point.

1412
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,640
And going back to the flying
bit, I'm imagining you packed

1413
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,400
light like just carry on so you
don't have to deal with checking

1414
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,760
bags.
And did you find yourself like

1415
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:10,200
doing laundry like at hotels or
something like in between?

1416
01:18:11,880 --> 01:18:14,080
Yeah, very much so.
Yeah, that's the other thing I

1417
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,440
like about New York is just
laundromats everywhere.

1418
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,440
The guitar was the tricky thing
because different airlines and

1419
01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:25,760
buses and Uber and everywhere
you go treats it differently.

1420
01:18:25,760 --> 01:18:29,120
So I, I can't imagine like going
a month and a half without,

1421
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,600
without touching a guitar.
So I brought it with me the

1422
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,000
entire trip and it was
definitely the thing of like,

1423
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,720
this is the same.
This is the same airline, but

1424
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:41,840
today they wanna make us pay for
the guitar.

1425
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,600
And.
Like pay extra for the guitar.

1426
01:18:46,160 --> 01:18:48,840
It was definitely the most
inconsistent.

1427
01:18:49,440 --> 01:18:52,240
And then at venues like where to
put the guitar.

1428
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:57,000
Yeah, you always had to figure
it out and stuff like that, but

1429
01:18:57,200 --> 01:18:58,640
got pretty good at that
eventually.

1430
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,600
Yes, unless I would run back and
pick it up, but sometimes he

1431
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,000
would store it with a friend
because he's really got good at

1432
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:08,160
making friends in the end.
I mean again, life skill like we

1433
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:13,000
all, especially the Edgar
generation, needs more time out

1434
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,800
I think.
So it's just like, yeah, I think

1435
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:17,880
it's such a great experience for
everyone.

1436
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,320
Yeah, well, I can say on behalf
of myself and Leslie and

1437
01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:24,720
everybody else that had queued
during these US shows that we're

1438
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,200
glad you brought your guitar
with you.

1439
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,400
It was great to have a good line
made the hours.

1440
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:32,560
Playing and singing, yeah, way
more enjoyable for sure.

1441
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:35,600
That's how I.
Pictured him, I figure.

1442
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:40,840
He's like in line with like all
young ladies and he's just

1443
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,320
taking requests song after.
Song.

1444
01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:43,520
Anything.
I Lovejoy.

1445
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:47,720
If you bring any other
restaurants that they bring, I

1446
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:48,600
can.
We'll play that too.

1447
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:50,280
That's.
So cool.

1448
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:54,000
And then if a hotel we stayed at
had a piano keep, like a grand

1449
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,520
piano, he'd sit down and play
too.

1450
01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:56,720
Just always fun.
It's cool.

1451
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,400
I love gearing.
Wow, I hope we get to see you

1452
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,680
this year somewhere.
Hopefully.

1453
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:06,120
Yes, maybe.
Maybe gets me down something.

1454
01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:09,360
Yes please.
I thought that was happening

1455
01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:12,600
this week because of the
incoming post.

1456
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:17,160
Do you sometimes know?
Thanks, but have to pretend you

1457
01:20:17,160 --> 01:20:19,360
don't know them.
No about the bad.

1458
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:24,160
No, they keep their hearts.
We don't get any info I.

1459
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:26,840
Didn't even I wasn't convinced
they knew who I was until the

1460
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:32,600
4th meet and greet.
I was like, no, they really know

1461
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:34,680
who I am or what love Dry Nation
is.

1462
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:41,600
It's got to be hard to see all
those people, like everywhere,

1463
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:45,160
all over the, you know, all over
the world and then try and keep

1464
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,080
everybody just I've, yeah, I
don't know.

1465
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,640
I'm sure when they saw, if they
knew that, that we bought all

1466
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,200
tickets, like especially because
it was like, because we bought

1467
01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:57,000
the tickets separately so you
could do the VIP, it was like

1468
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,920
one buyer for every single show.
They would have been like, huh?

1469
01:21:02,040 --> 01:21:04,840
That's.
Just gonna go, please.

1470
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:06,120
About.
That, yeah.

1471
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:10,440
We were until we knew who it was
and then we're like, cool, So we

1472
01:21:10,440 --> 01:21:12,240
already liked him, right?
So that was.

1473
01:21:13,440 --> 01:21:13,760
Good.
Oh.

1474
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:15,480
I love it.
Anything else, Dave?

1475
01:21:15,480 --> 01:21:17,200
I know we've kind of
monopolized.

1476
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:22,560
No, you haven't monopolized.
To be honest, everything's

1477
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:25,280
covered on the list.
It's it's wonderful.

1478
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:29,000
It's been really a joy having
you guys here, and I'm sure the

1479
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,280
fans are going to love this
episode up like it's going to be

1480
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:33,760
up there.
Oh my gosh, yes, Hello.

1481
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:38,320
Hello.
Fellow fans, fellow parents of

1482
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:41,720
is there any?
Yes, yes.

1483
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,240
Is there anything you guys want
to share that we haven't talked

1484
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:48,480
about just to make sure that
we've got everything that you

1485
01:21:48,480 --> 01:21:51,800
wanted to say or did we kind of
cover everything?

1486
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,960
I really have like I have more
questions from the band I wish I

1487
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:03,200
would have asked more.
Like I want to know what makes

1488
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:05,120
it good for them.
Like did they like the meet and

1489
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,920
greets?
Did they like the shows?

1490
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,840
Did they like how we treat them?
Did they like when we approach

1491
01:22:10,840 --> 01:22:12,960
them or not?
Like I'm so cautious.

1492
01:22:13,320 --> 01:22:14,960
I've asked these questions and I
do have the.

1493
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,680
OK, good.
Well, Palace, yeah.

1494
01:22:17,480 --> 01:22:20,040
Oh, so I've spoken with a few of
the members about this because

1495
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:23,200
I'm, I'm a very anxious person
so I'm like, I don't want to

1496
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:26,280
like overstep or anything.
You know what, just tell me to

1497
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:27,560
go away if you don't want to
chat.

1498
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:33,240
But they're, they're very, very
OK with chatting with people and

1499
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,200
like don't ever feel, don't ever
feel like you're.

1500
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:38,840
Imposing.
Like you're imposing unless

1501
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:40,920
you're imposing.
Like if you go up to them and

1502
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:42,840
say hi, do you have a moment to
chat?

1503
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:45,840
And then they go, yes, they have
a moment to chat.

1504
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:48,840
If they go, no, they don't have
a moment to chat.

1505
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,360
Yeah, it's absolutely about
respect.

1506
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:58,520
If they're SAT just for
argument's sake, you, you bump

1507
01:22:58,520 --> 01:23:00,000
into them.
Unless they're eating dinner,

1508
01:23:00,240 --> 01:23:02,520
I'm not going to go up to them.
I'm going to wait till they

1509
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:04,000
finished.
That is fair, you know.

1510
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,880
Yeah.
Yeah, it does.

1511
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:08,400
You don't want to hold them
hostage.

1512
01:23:08,600 --> 01:23:11,760
Yeah.
It's it's it's kind of just a

1513
01:23:11,760 --> 01:23:14,240
standard, normal human
interaction the whole way.

1514
01:23:14,440 --> 01:23:16,440
Yeah.
Yeah, like we've been in like

1515
01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:21,040
the airports in the same like
seating section waiting for the

1516
01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:24,600
same plane with them before for
many hours.

1517
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,200
Because we if we, if we can go
early, we go early, very early.

1518
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,440
We'd always get to every gig as
soon as possible actually.

1519
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:36,280
And so that usually go directly
to the gig to get in line as

1520
01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:39,160
quick as possible.
But whatever time that is.

1521
01:23:39,160 --> 01:23:41,800
And then I go try to get us in
the hotel and get set up or

1522
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,640
wherever we're staying.
So yeah.

1523
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:47,480
Oh, so if he saw them like in
the waiting area of like the

1524
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:50,800
airport, he just like this is
not gonna be chatting with them?

1525
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:55,240
There there's one time that we
had the same flight and I that

1526
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:58,240
is a big regret of I wish I I
wish I had gone and talked to

1527
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,480
them more.
And kept trying to push him but

1528
01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:02,800
it's like I also.
Look at background and now they

1529
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:06,320
definitely wanted to chat with
me and I was just like no guys,

1530
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,560
guys, no I don't.
I don't want him pose.

1531
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,040
Yeah.
They they enjoy, they enjoy

1532
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,440
chatting with fans.
If you're, if you're like, oh,

1533
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:16,360
they're just, they're just over
there.

1534
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,600
Should I go say hi or not?
No, I don't want to impose.

1535
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,400
Say hi.
If they don't want to chat, they

1536
01:24:21,440 --> 01:24:23,440
won't chat.
They'll be polite and be like,

1537
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:26,560
yeah, did they?
Did you see people approach them

1538
01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:30,600
in those situations like fans,
or do they just kind of went on

1539
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:34,440
the radar?
I mean, plenty of fans were were

1540
01:24:34,440 --> 01:24:37,200
like, no, I don't want to.
Plenty of fans went up and

1541
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:38,680
approached and chatted with
them.

1542
01:24:39,120 --> 01:24:44,480
Yeah, I mean all sorts.
Yeah, but no one mean no one's

1543
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:46,160
mean spirited, right?
Like I feel like.

1544
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:48,880
Oh no, not at all.
Always kind, and they're always

1545
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,240
kind of good.
Yeah, good.

1546
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:54,520
Leslie and I noticed this in
Asher and Heather.

1547
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:58,440
You probably did too.
We were really kind of taken by

1548
01:24:58,440 --> 01:25:02,360
how easily these guys were able
to carry a conversation.

1549
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,360
Especially Will was somebody who
might have gone up to the meet

1550
01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,960
and greet and looked really
nervous and didn't know what to

1551
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:10,160
say.
They were really great and

1552
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,760
really sweet.
A kind of casually started

1553
01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:16,200
starting the conversation, which
I thought was just, you know.

1554
01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,040
Yeah, very warm, just.
So nice of them, yeah.

1555
01:25:19,720 --> 01:25:23,200
I, I think, I think they must
have like trained for it or

1556
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,360
something, because there, there
are plenty of people who, who

1557
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:28,720
would go up and like, you know,
they're, they're big fans are

1558
01:25:28,720 --> 01:25:32,080
like I, I just, I can't remember
anything that I was gonna say.

1559
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:35,120
It's the it's the whole
starstruck thing, isn't?

1560
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,000
It and they would see them, they
would see them holding

1561
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,040
something.
Did you draw that and like get

1562
01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:40,800
the conversation?
Yeah, yeah.

1563
01:25:41,440 --> 01:25:44,560
Right.
I I don't think there was a bad

1564
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,440
mean degree.
I think they they'll be keep it

1565
01:25:47,440 --> 01:25:49,960
good.
Yeah, they must be good with

1566
01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:54,400
children too, because they're
just so friendly and kind of

1567
01:25:54,400 --> 01:25:57,040
patient.
And then to do that for an hour

1568
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,720
or more and then perform on
stage, I feel like.

1569
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,000
How did they do that?
Like I mean.

1570
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:03,440
Right.
Wouldn't it be?

1571
01:26:03,440 --> 01:26:06,200
Depressing because they're so on
and on.

1572
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:08,160
Yeah, they're so.
Engage the whole time.

1573
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,400
In the meeting.
Right.

1574
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:15,240
And just think about how long
the meet and greets last for and

1575
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,480
then they're performing almost
directly after.

1576
01:26:17,480 --> 01:26:20,880
It's really amazing.
And the energy is throughout the

1577
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:24,880
entire thing, so top notch.
It's just super impressive it.

1578
01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:28,640
Seems like it actually, instead
of exhausting them, pumped them

1579
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,920
up because like they said, they
felt like they knew the audience

1580
01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,320
they were performing for.
Wilbur's story that I like a

1581
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,240
little video because I thought
stories don't last long enough.

1582
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:42,200
And his words were so sweet and
kind and after everything,

1583
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,000
hopeful for the future and
encouraging.

1584
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,880
So I think it's been a great all
around experience this tour and

1585
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,880
I hope they come back here soon
after Dave gets his fill.

1586
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:56,080
They're not coming back to
America this year.

1587
01:26:57,000 --> 01:27:01,560
They have been here since 20. 2.
So they have to.

1588
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,440
They're coming back, breaking
tradition under the year.

1589
01:27:04,440 --> 01:27:06,440
I'm calling it right now.
Festival season, right?

1590
01:27:06,440 --> 01:27:09,680
They got to do something.
Festival season, yes.

1591
01:27:09,800 --> 01:27:12,320
In Europe.
No SO.

1592
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:19,840
Well, Asher gets to go too.
This is the British team, OK?

1593
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:21,400
You have to get used to going
there, yes.

1594
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:23,080
Oh, you got to learn all the
windows?

1595
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:26,680
Well, we'll hold for Asher.
I hold back because the, you

1596
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,720
know, they're still
understanding words, but yes.

1597
01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:37,960
You can handle it.
Could maybe Mr. Five?

1598
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,880
Yeah.

Cheryl.

1605
01:27:56,160 --> 01:28:00,200
Chat online or something.
But finishing up and getting

1606
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:02,000
ready for college, it's so cool.
I can.

1607
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,520
Tell my daughter to go to.
England for the college too.

1608
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:10,640
It's been really nice, really
nice to meet this blonde haired

1609
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,240
coiled spring that I keep
hearing about.

1610
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:20,600
Oh, I love that.
Oh, that's cool.

1611
01:28:20,600 --> 01:28:22,840
Oh, enjoy the rest of your day.
Happy Valentine's Day.

1612
01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:25,200
Happy.
