19. Big Theories & Speculation for Lovejoy's Coming Soons!

1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Is this the theory?
This is the potential.

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:08,400
It's kind of outlandish.
All I got told was I have a

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,800
theory I'm saving it for the
pod.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,880
Mm hmm, era is a big word,
right?

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,800
Era.
Yep.

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,320
It's not just like new things,
something happening chain, like

7
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:27,040
it's a major, often centuries
long division of time marked by

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,200
a new distinct order of things.
New era doesn't just sound like

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:35,120
a deluxe version of an album
because it wouldn't be new,

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,040
because that's not totally new.
And then if you're talking about

11
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,440
old songs or something, again,
that's not like new.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,600
That's like nostalgic.
What if now this is crazy.

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:01:03,680
What if Lovejoy is Hello, we are
Lovejoy and you are listening to

14
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,280
the Lovejoy podcast.
Hello, Hello, love and.

15
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:14,480
Joyers facts are coming.
Hello and welcome back everyone.

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,680
Hi, Angie.
Hi, Dave.

17
00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,000
Well, hello.
Howdy.

18
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,240
Is there?
Well, let's get going.

19
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,000
I mean, we, we were hoping to
have really exciting big news to

20
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,480
talk about today, but like
always, we'll make any little

21
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,480
crumb into a freaking pie.
And so that's what we're going

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,280
to do today.
On today's episode, we'll be

23
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:41,040
discussing Lovejoy's upcoming
European Tour dates, Wilbur's

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:46,400
ever evolving Instagram profile
emojis, Lovejoy's latest Tik

25
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,440
Toks, and of course their
cryptic Instagram story.

26
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,480
And as always, any other little
Nuggets we come up with along

27
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,000
the way.
So shall we get started with the

28
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,600
the European dates?
Because that, that's the one big

29
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,560
exciting thing.
I mean the biggest exciting

30
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
thing we've had in a while.
Yeah.

31
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,120
We've kind of a little bit,
we're a little bit delayed on

32
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,320
that because they've been out
for a little bit.

33
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,440
But I think I honestly thought
we were going to get some more,

34
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:18,560
but Poland and Turkey,
fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

35
00:02:18,640 --> 00:02:20,280
Warsaw sold out.
Yes, yeah.

36
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,920
Yeah, I can see why.
I was looking for like

37
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:29,280
information about each venue
because I thought that would be

38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:34,800
interesting and I know there was
discussion about age rules for

39
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,680
the different venues.
Yes, one of which has changed

40
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,480
since the initial announcement,
which is awesome.

41
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,680
I think a lot of kids and maybe
their parents made a big push

42
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:52,400
for the age allowance to be
modified for Turkey so that kids

43
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,520
younger than 18 could attend
with their parents instead of it

44
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,520
just being an 18 and up role.
Good job to those kids.

45
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840
That's absolutely amazing that
they got that changed.

46
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:11,200
Yeah, that was impressive.
Yeah, I I love the way that, OK,

47
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:18,360
not so much of AAA huge
campaign, but there were people

48
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:23,400
that were hounding and hounding
Reddit, Instagram.

49
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,760
They made beautiful graphics
like.

50
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,240
Absolutely.
I want to know what program they

51
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,200
used.
They did an amazing job, very

52
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:36,160
talented.
Really, sort of really pleased

53
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,600
with the outcome because the
management have clearly looked

54
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,600
at it oh and got onto it so.
Yeah, that's their base.

55
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,560
They need to be able to have
those younger folks there.

56
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,160
Sure.
Yeah, what a great outcome for

57
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,280
for everyone.
Everyone involved, really.

58
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Yeah, yeah. 100% good job.
Great.

59
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,280
Yeah, we may need you in the
future for other things.

60
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,960
So yeah, right.
Don't be a stranger, all right?

61
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,520
To start off this one very
simple, very small tour, Lovejoy

62
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,360
will be playing in Poznan,
Poland on April 22nd, our very

63
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,680
own Dave's birthday at the Tama
Club, which is the largest club

64
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,200
and concert venue in Poznan and
the capacity is about 900

65
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,240
people.
They're known for friendly staff

66
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,480
and unreal sound.
So sounds like a great place to

67
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:30,760
start off.
All right.

68
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,560
And then the next night, they'll
be playing at the Proxima Club

69
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,400
in Warsaw.
And that, we've figured out, is

70
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,800
sold out.
It's affiliated with the

71
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,480
University of Warsaw.
It's on campus, and they have an

72
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,960
intimate, energetic atmosphere.
But some people complain about

73
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,880
the poor ventilation.
I saw that come up a lot.

74
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,880
Oh bless.
Where?

75
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Did deodorant?
I saw that in a lot of reviews,

76
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,600
but it remains a staple of the
local music scene and the

77
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:04,080
capacity is 1000.
Then they head over to Turkey a

78
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,160
few days later, April 26th at
Parabu Art in Istanbul.

79
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,360
It's a brand new, highly
regarded culture and arts venue.

80
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,280
It actually just launched in
December 2, 2025.

81
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,840
Hello.
Oh, so that is quite new and

82
00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:21,840
fresh, isn't it?
Yeah.

83
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,320
That's yeah, that's good.
There's been initial feedback

84
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,720
for impressive and modern sound
lighting video systems.

85
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,560
So now, yeah, the ages 14 to 18
May attend the event with their

86
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,080
parents or accompanied by an
adult who has been granted A

87
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,120
notary approved attorney.
Sounds very fancy, but it had

88
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,880
been 18 plus.
And as we said, the kids or the

89
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,360
families of the fans have pulled
this off.

90
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,760
They've spoken out and said
please adjust the age

91
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,840
requirements.
And it's worked.

92
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,680
So that is awesome.
And that's that's it.

93
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,840
That's all we know about these
three dates so far for 2026.

94
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:11,240
So pleased Warsaw sold out
really, and hopefully Poznan is

95
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,560
very close to as well.
And hopefully, now that they've

96
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,880
changed, Turkey may become a
more bit more fuller.

97
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,560
Yeah, and it sounds like an
awesome place to play.

98
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,200
I'm excited to like see the
pictures and hear about how that

99
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,440
went and it goes.
Absolutely.

100
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Really looking forward to, I
know we all see HQ and all that,

101
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,120
they bring out American pictures
like yourself, but it's going to

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,000
be good to see something new,
you know?

103
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,520
Yeah, I'm excited looking.
Forward to that.

104
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,400
I'm excited for everybody over
there, especially the fans in

105
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,160
Turkey since Lovejoy's not
played there before, so if I

106
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:53,920
lived there I'd be over the
moon.

107
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,200
That's fantastic, really
exciting for everybody.

108
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,600
And they have played Poland
before and those fans have been

109
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,920
begging for them to come back.
And.

110
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,000
And do you have some information
you've dug up from your wiki?

111
00:07:06,280 --> 00:07:08,720
Yeah, I do.
Their experiences there in the

112
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,600
past.
Lovejoy, Poland fans seem to be

113
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,720
pretty.
I mean, they're hardcore.

114
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,440
Wake up and it's over was #1 on
Poland iTunes overall?

115
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Not just rock, not just
alternative music, like overall

116
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,400
pretty cool.
And Call Me What You Like was #1

117
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,720
on Poland iTunes also a couple
weeks after it's released.

118
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:35,760
So Poland clearly loves Lovejoy.
Lovejoy's played Poland before

119
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,000
the first one was in.
And I'm sorry, I'm this, I'm

120
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,320
probably butchering this name.
Gdans.

121
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,040
OK.
Yeah.

122
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,960
It's on the Insloff tour.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

123
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,280
So on the Insloff tour, they hit
Poland a couple of times, and it

124
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800
was in April.
At first they only had the

125
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:58,520
Warsaw Shoal, but due to high
demand they added Gdans after

126
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:03,520
that and Gdansk was actually the
live debut of Warsaw.

127
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920
They played Warsaw as a second
encore that night.

128
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,520
They're going, they're going to
play Warsaw in Warsaw, aren't

129
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,240
they?
Oh yeah.

130
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,840
Oh yeah, A.
Standard thing.

131
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,360
Do you think they'll play in
Poznan?

132
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Maybe.
Is there a rivalry there?

133
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Is there a rivalry there?
I keep hearing things like.

134
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:29,600
Yeah, I believe there is, but
there's no Rosary Music East.

135
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,400
Coast.
West Coast.

136
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,600
Would that not make its way
across the bond?

137
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,240
Yes, yes, yes.
Oh, you can't like East Coast if

138
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,440
you like West Coast.
Oh gosh.

139
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,000
I was going to use football but
because we have Southampton and

140
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,080
Portsmouth who don't like each
other, but you know, if you want

141
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,000
to use East Coast, West Coast.
Well, you mentioned music, you

142
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,200
know, rivalries and music and it
just first thing came to mind

143
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,920
so.
Oh my gosh.

144
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Yeah, you.
Maybe they'll play Warsaw and

145
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,440
pause.
And maybe.

146
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:18,080
Yeah, it's no, it's, I'm so glad
that they are playing now.

147
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,480
I had a message and helped a
fellow Polish fan out.

148
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,960
Yeah.
It was a bit strange though,

149
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,240
wasn't it, because VIP tickets
were supposed to go live at 10

150
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920
AM Polish time, but people were
picking them up from 2:00 AM

151
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,480
onwards.
That happened in Philly here.

152
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,800
Remember, they went on sale
hours earlier.

153
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,360
Yeah, yeah.
You felt a bit gutted for the

154
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,960
people that actually waited.
But I think it was about 8:00 AM

155
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,040
my time.
Poland's an hour ahead.

156
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,000
And I went onto the website and
there they were because I was

157
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,920
talking to this Polish person,
helping them out.

158
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,240
And there they were.
And I'm like, just buy them now.

159
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:08,320
Just buy them now.
And I think 10 minutes later

160
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,760
they got back to me.
And it's like I'm going.

161
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,240
To see.
Lovejoy.

162
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,840
I'm glad they reached out to
you.

163
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,720
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know whether that

164
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,440
happened for for all the gigs,
you know, this massive, huge

165
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:33,080
European Tour they're doing.
I know there's so many dates to

166
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,560
Trek.
I don't know.

167
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,240
Back to the other dates that
Lovejoy played in Poland.

168
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,040
Yes.
Yes.

169
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Yeah, sorry.
Nah, you're OK You you go on

170
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Dave.
That was good.

171
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,200
So like I said, they played in
Warsaw and I thought this was

172
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,160
kind of cool.
Did you guys catch when they

173
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,640
were on Stephen Colbert's
YouTube channel?

174
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,760
It was oh gosh, what was it
called?

175
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,760
Stephen Colbert Late Show me
music.

176
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,840
They they filmed that while
they're in Warsaw.

177
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:09,120
They played Call Me What it Like
and then a few months after

178
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,880
that, in June, they played at a
festival in Poland.

179
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,000
Yes, they've been to Poland
three times and I guess now

180
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:20,120
it'll be 5 S Poland.
You're lucky.

181
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880
I love that they're hitting
these other countries, and I do

182
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,800
too, especially as I know we've
been fortunate here to have them

183
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,200
in America so often.
But there's so many fans all

184
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,600
over the world.
Clearly we have like 54

185
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,720
countries or something that
listen to this podcast which

186
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,000
blows my mind.
Hello all you other countries.

187
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,560
Bond School.
Hola.

188
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,560
Good in Tarak.
V Gates.

189
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,160
I don't know anymore.
So that's all you get.

190
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,240
Hello.
Yeah, I hope they get to Brazil,

191
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,920
Latin America.
I mean, there's so many people

192
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,480
begging for them to come to the
where they are.

193
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,760
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm tempted to beg myself, but

194
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,520
who knows?
They'll get to the UK for sure.

195
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,520
It's in the works, I'm sure
they're.

196
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Filling that calendar up, I'm
sure, as we speak.

197
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,680
Oh yeah, no doubt.
I think it's going to end up

198
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:22,520
being a busy year for them.
I'm hoping it's going to be a

199
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:29,960
busy year for them because
they're clearly rehearsing, so

200
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,560
hopefully April is the start of
it, or if not, before.

201
00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,080
And I know there's people that
have been wondering if there's

202
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,400
going to be more European Tour
dates.

203
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,440
The three of us had talked about
this offline a few weeks ago.

204
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,920
I, I, I think it's possible that
they could fill in some more

205
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,120
dates around those Poland and
Turkey shows.

206
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,480
When they did the Insalaf tour
in 2023, they kind of, they kind

207
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,760
of bounced all over the place.
Within a month.

208
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,160
It was like they went from
Ireland to Scotland and then

209
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,920
back to England and then they
went to Poland, Germany, and

210
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:06,800
then they went to Netherland,
France, Belgium.

211
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240
It was kind of like all over the
place.

212
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,240
So who knows what they got
cooking?

213
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:15,120
But I mean, now that they have a
full length, full real deal

214
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,440
album with Warner, like there's
got to be similar pattern of of

215
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,880
touring happening with that.
Oh, for sure, now's the time.

216
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:27,360
For sure.
And I feel like Warner's kind of

217
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,200
got their back, you know, at
least somewhat.

218
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,680
So that's nice.
I'm just wondering whether

219
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:39,200
Poland is the star, Poland and
Turkey or whether they will do

220
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,720
somewhere on the way.
I'm not going to just say the UK

221
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:49,000
because you never, you know,
there's a lot of places you can

222
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,560
go to from the UK to Poland.
Yeah, I don't think there's

223
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,600
going to be anything beforehand
because they'd have to have it

224
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,640
already announced in ticket
sales and all that.

225
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Yeah, it's too, it's getting too
close now.

226
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:08,760
We're like a month away from it.
With their recent posts

227
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,080
incoming, we've had a few of
those.

228
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,920
You know, I honestly thought
there was going to be something

229
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,960
else by now.
I know at the beginning of the

230
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,120
show and you sort of said, you
know, we were hoping for it, but

231
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:29,200
I really was we we had a a week
or so of basically saying

232
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,800
incoming and then nothing on
this second week.

233
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:40,440
So and all all we get is the
website locked.

234
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,760
Right.
So just to clarify for people

235
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:45,920
that maybe have missed some of
the things that are maybe not as

236
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,880
obsessed with things as we are
keeping an eye every single day

237
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:55,720
on this stuff by the hour.
Currently on the website for UK

238
00:14:55,720 --> 00:15:00,360
and US, the store is shut down.
Like it's just a blank and it

239
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,760
says coming soon at the top.
So it's this has happened

240
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,480
before.
This has happened when they've

241
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,560
shut it down to add a merch drop
or when the album was being

242
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,320
released and they were going to
have the album available for

243
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,800
sale.
So yeah, so you had our eye on

244
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,360
that to see it.
When and if anything changes, I

245
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:24,240
presume we'll have some
marketing posts advertising, you

246
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:28,080
know an upcoming merch shop or
pre sales for an album or

247
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,760
singles prior to it actually
being live.

248
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,480
They've done that before where
they had little teaser

249
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:39,520
commercials showing the merch.
So but we are still looking

250
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,160
daily just to be sure that we're
not missing anything.

251
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:44,960
And as far as incoming goes,
yeah.

252
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,880
In a recent Instagram post by
Lovejoy, they posted some photos

253
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,360
and they wrote in the caption
incoming.

254
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,880
So it just made you think, hmm,
what does that mean?

255
00:15:53,880 --> 00:16:00,400
And yeah, no, it just, you know,
we read into these like one word

256
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,120
captions because we're just, you
know, chomping at the bit, as I

257
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,520
say, too often on here and as
you were, Ange.

258
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,680
You know what?
I'm starting to to feel like

259
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,800
there's something bigger.
And like I said, we read so much

260
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,560
into every word.
But this Instagram post from a

261
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,560
few days ago with Joe at the
whiteboard it, it says new era

262
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,880
incoming.
And I'm starting to feel like

263
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,960
the North American OST tour was
just like a warm up or a teaser

264
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,320
for something.
If they're making it and maybe

265
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,200
I'm overreacting, which I very
well could be, I feel like

266
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,640
there's something big coming
down the pipeline.

267
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,840
I don't know.
What do you think?

268
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,360
When you said that to me the
other day, I was thinking, you

269
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,800
know what, maybe it was kind of
a focus group this tour.

270
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,840
They scattered themselves all
over America and Canada.

271
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:04,040
And maybe it was just to sort of
get a read on how the sales

272
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:11,160
would be audience, you know,
excitement levels and just to

273
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,760
get the the boys out there with
this new album.

274
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:18,920
And like, really just, yeah,
like you said, a warm up, but

275
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,680
also kind of a focus group maybe
for the Warner Records as

276
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:25,960
they're new to Lovejoy and they
wanted to feel it out and see

277
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,680
what the reception would be.
But I do think something bigger

278
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,760
is on the.
Horizon because.

279
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,000
An album is expensive and it's
been a long time coming.

280
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,160
Yeah, so.
Yeah, that's it.

281
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,640
That, no, that is interesting.
I get that.

282
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:47,920
I mean to coincide because we've
spoken about visas, if their

283
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:53,640
visas were running out, it made
sense to do USA and it made

284
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,920
sense makes or makes sense.
Practical sense, correct?

285
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Yes.
To do what you've just said, to

286
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,680
get, you know, we can prove to
you that we are good.

287
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,200
You prove to us we're good.
It's the whole yeah,

288
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,200
interesting.
Yeah, and I'll talk about this a

289
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,560
little bit later, but I totally
fell down the rabbit hole on

290
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:21,800
this whiteboard, but yes, God.
Bless you because I was like

291
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,800
daunted by the task because the
writing was too blurry or dark

292
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,440
to see.
It basically was a post on

293
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,440
Instagram, a Lovejoy story, Joe
at a whiteboard erasing a

294
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:36,520
portion of the writing on the
whiteboard, some writing still

295
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,680
visible and in the bottom
corner, it said New Era.

296
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,200
New era?
What incoming?

297
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,960
Incoming again.
Yeah, new era incoming.

298
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,800
OK.
Yeah, yeah.

299
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:56,080
I mean, it could be that this is
like some old bored from when

300
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,400
they were maybe planning out the
album or whatever, and now it's

301
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,800
just Joe erasing all of that.
But then I thought, well, what

302
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,400
if it's something new so.
And I know we had talked offline

303
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,960
about trying to read some of the
words on it and.

304
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,280
There wasn't.
There wasn't anything that you

305
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,480
could make out, not too much
that that would give anything

306
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:28,400
away.
No, not really.

307
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,440
I mean, they're towards the,
towards the left, there was a

308
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,240
column that looked like it
started and we thought it said

309
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,400
Will.
It starts with AW, it looks like

310
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,680
it might say Will.
And then I feel like the other

311
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,840
ones, like they're, I, I think
there's a lead in there and

312
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,440
there's two outros and a lyric.
I don't know what to make of

313
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,000
that, but I'm almost positive
that's what those say.

314
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,360
And then and then one thing that
said too, too much energy.

315
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Yeah, yeah, to the left of that,
to the left of that, I think it

316
00:20:02,120 --> 00:20:05,320
was the first column, there's
something that says drums and

317
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,720
then like Leslie said, it's
there's something that's kind of

318
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,360
cut off, but you can see verse
and it looks like it says too

319
00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:16,040
much energy.
And then a couple down again.

320
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,120
There is something that says.
Lead.

321
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Yeah.
If you go over to the other side

322
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,720
of the board, Leslie and I both
agreed that it looked like it

323
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:29,880
said REDUX going down.
Now that can mean a couple of

324
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,600
things.
Leslie, what were you thinking

325
00:20:32,120 --> 00:20:35,440
when you saw?
That I was thinking maybe a

326
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,000
deluxe version of the album so
they're the next iteration of

327
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:45,400
the album.
Could be the redo one simple

328
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:52,600
trick spelled RUREDUX but.
You know, no, no, it's just

329
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,000
REDO, redo.
No, this is different, right?

330
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,240
No, it was.
It's written REDUX.

331
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:09,520
But I googled and there's some
sort of studio tool like

332
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:14,040
computer tool called but by that
same name and it's used in.

333
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,040
I think it's used in recording.
So then I was like.

334
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:21,760
Oh wait, wait.
It means though it's from the

335
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,640
Latin reducer to bring back it
means brought back or restored.

336
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,400
Hello.
Scrap.

337
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Scrap.
Because Wilbur.

338
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:39,120
Said somewhere on Reddit or was
in AQ and a some freaking where

339
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:44,400
he said you guys have been
wanting the scrap songs and I we

340
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,400
had, we came up with a plan for
that and we think you'll be

341
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,560
happy with it.
So I've always thought they're

342
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:50,800
going to make like a scrapped
album.

343
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,520
Maybe it's called Bringing It
Back because these are songs

344
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,880
that haven't been played
anywhere.

345
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,440
For years.
And underneath that column in

346
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,800
those rows, there's no's.
There's at least one yes.

347
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,480
There's some other word that I
can't make out.

348
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,400
I don't know it.
Do you know what I've, yeah,

349
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,160
I've totally missed that
section.

350
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:18,800
I have not put, I've not been
down any rabbit holes and I've

351
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,920
totally missed that section.
So this is all new to new and

352
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,320
exciting to me.
Yeah, this was my Friday night.

353
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,040
I don't have anything else to
do.

354
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,080
Well, I think they probably were
talking about all the songs that

355
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:36,400
could be on their screensaver.
I mean, character syndrome,

356
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,520
Coronado, all those things, and
probably a yes.

357
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,200
No.
Well, Snake was like was

358
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,880
supposed to be, we think one
simple trick thing, right?

359
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,160
Yes.
OK.

360
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,920
This was probably the most
interesting thing for me.

361
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,160
I'm sorry I am going off on a
tangent.

362
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:59,440
The very right hand columns.
One says key and one says BPM

363
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:06,640
for beats per minute.
So I went to Google and found

364
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,720
the key and the BPM for every
single Lovejoy song.

365
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:16,360
What?
I didn't have as much luck as I

366
00:23:16,360 --> 00:23:21,480
thought I would.
There's one that I figured out

367
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,880
if Google is right.
OK, let's make a big caveat

368
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,200
there.
If Google is right with the key

369
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:31,280
in the BPMF 148 is common touch.
There are a lot of them that are

370
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:38,800
hidden behind Joe.
There were about 4-5 that I had

371
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,160
no idea what they were and then
the ones that are partially

372
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,000
obscured.
There are some songs that they

373
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,200
possibly could be, and like I
said, I could be totally going

374
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,760
down the complete wrong pathway
with this, but Death Box,

375
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:58,600
Monochrome, they were all from
OST, Foxholes, Fatal Scoundrels,

376
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,440
Baptism, those are all
possibilities for some of those

377
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,720
you don't.
OK, there are 13 lines.

378
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:13,640
Yeah, 13 lines.
Yes, so we know that the

379
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,400
original was supposed to have 13
on it.

380
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:19,120
That's.
Right, I forgot.

381
00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:22,000
About that.
Sorry, I've got it in front of

382
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,360
me.
We'll put it up on the screen.

383
00:24:23,360 --> 00:24:25,360
It'll have already been up on
the screen.

384
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,440
Like I say, I haven't been down
that rabbit hole, but I'm just

385
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,760
listening to you here, looking
at this.

386
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,800
Yeah, there's 13 lines.
The original was 13, so we all

387
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,400
assume wasted summers coming
back.

388
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,800
So that leaves two others.
What I I did try to find the

389
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,240
info for Wasted Summer and it
was, there was a few differing,

390
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,640
differing things that I found,
but I didn't find anything on

391
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:57,240
there that seemed to match that.
But I don't know, like I said,

392
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,200
it could be wrong if that's what
even this is.

393
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,280
I mean, if by some stroke of
luck, any of the guys are

394
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,760
listening to this, are probably
laughing their asses off because

395
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:07,400
this has nothing to do with
anything.

396
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,080
But I thought it was
interesting.

397
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,080
I mean, you know what else?
What else are you gonna do?

398
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,840
The thing is, they probably
laugh at all of us at times, and

399
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,600
I'm not just meaning US three,
the Redditors, Instagram, they,

400
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,680
they laugh at us all.
Keeps us keeps them entertained

401
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,000
in the these down times, right?
But this perhaps?

402
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,640
They keep us entertained with
their little.

403
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,480
Yeah, Yeah.
I really didn't look into this

404
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:41,640
new era.
And like I say, just looking at

405
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,480
it, who knows?
There might be more.

406
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,080
Read afterwards.
They might be more than meets

407
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,840
the eye.
And don't even bother with that

408
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,840
version.
You need Angie's like doctored

409
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,400
up high contrast, you know?
I ran it through.

410
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,080
I ran it through an image
enhancer.

411
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,960
I'll send it to you, Dave.
It helped.

412
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,960
It helps some.
Got to get the CIA on.

413
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,200
This.
Why didn't you just do that in

414
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:05,920
the 1st place?
Just send it to me.

415
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:09,800
Yes, please send it through.
I will.

416
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,720
Yeah.
I will.

417
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,320
Yeah.
And so when Angie and I were

418
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,480
talking the other day, oh,
because we had a little Zoom

419
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,040
meet.
It came up.

420
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,680
Is this the theory?
This is the potential.

421
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,680
It's kind of outlandish.
All I got told was I have a

422
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:34,600
theory I'm saving it for the pod
cube drum roll.

423
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:42,160
Era is a big word, right?
Era.

424
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,680
Yep.
Let's see what Google says that

425
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,520
means, because I feel like
that's a big word.

426
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,160
It's not just like new things,
something happening.

427
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,680
It's a major, often centuries
long division of time marked by

428
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:01,320
a new, distinct order of things.
OK, New era doesn't just sound

429
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,520
like a deluxe version of an
album because it wouldn't be

430
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,600
new, because that's not totally
new.

431
00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,080
And then if you're talking about
old songs or something, again,

432
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:17,160
that's not like new technically,
like main character syndrome

433
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,080
Coronado.
It's like old era that's like

434
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:26,240
nostalgic.
What if now this is crazy?

435
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:34,560
What if Lovejoy is changing its
name?

436
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,440
Dave, did you freeze change?
Its name to an entirely new

437
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,520
name.
Or instead of just instead of

438
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,000
being full on Lovejoy, it's LVJY
since they use that all the time

439
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,520
everywhere.
Sort of like Prince changing to

440
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,800
the symbol.
Yeah, that didn't work either.

441
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,680
But not like MCR, everybody
knows My Chemical Romance, NIN,

442
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,560
9 Inch Nails.
It would give them an

443
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:11,440
opportunity to break away from a
name that in for some has a

444
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:13,080
stigma attached to it a little
bit.

445
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,080
Not saying that it's just LVJY.
They could change name to

446
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:21,520
friggin like Anvil.
I don't know but New Era almost

447
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,640
sounds like a big enough thing
that it would be like a name

448
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,480
change.
Another theory is like how this

449
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,360
is wild.
What if they've changed their

450
00:28:31,360 --> 00:28:33,240
name?
What if the name is changing?

451
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,840
We don't know about it yet and
we've been scrutinizing all

452
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,960
these music festival line UPS
looking for Lovejoy and it's

453
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,520
some other name and they've been
on all these lineups and we

454
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:51,880
didn't even freaking know it.
I don't think it's impossible.

455
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,080
I think it's within the realm of
possibility.

456
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Is it out there?
Yeah.

457
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,000
Is it possible also?
Yeah.

458
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,360
I know it sounds crazy, but
there's too many.

459
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,640
Lovejoys.
There's other Lovejoys.

460
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:09,280
There's even another Lovejoy
from Brighton that I was seeing

461
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,680
posts on Instagram about them
performing in Brighton.

462
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,440
But it was a Lovejoy that's been
around for like 15 years.

463
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,080
So it's not our love.
And it like Angie mentioned the

464
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,480
other night, Lovejoy is sort of
like the antithesis of what

465
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:26,760
their music is, love and joy.
But I may be that may be

466
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:32,240
intentional obviously like sort
of like an oxymoron or

467
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:33,680
something.
I don't know if that's right.

468
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,720
We're.
Yeah.

469
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,640
I mean, it's not like they're
going to change their name to

470
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,960
sad hate or anything like that.
But you're right.

471
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,640
I mean, it's hard for us to
think of them as being anything

472
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:48,040
else, but I think you have to
kind of admit a little bit that

473
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,640
the direction that they seem to
be going in the name kind of

474
00:29:54,400 --> 00:30:05,360
doesn't jive with their music,
with their sound as much as it

475
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,720
may be used to.
And you know, I was thinking

476
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,480
about this since you brought
this up to me.

477
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:14,760
Actually, I was thinking about
it a lot, 'cause I'm like, Oh my

478
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,640
gosh, what if.
And I thought of, I thought of a

479
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,720
band, there used to be a band
called Joy Division.

480
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,800
I think it was like late 70s,
early 80s.

481
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200
And yeah, yeah, yeah.
They changed their name to New

482
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Order after their after their
vocalist died.

483
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:41,640
So, I mean, it's not impossible.
And they had made, if I'm not

484
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:47,960
incorrect, they had made albums
under the name Joy Division.

485
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,320
Yeah, certainly did.
Yeah, OK.

486
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,720
I I appreciate they change their
name because of the death.

487
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,440
Isn't Joy Division like on
Wilbur's playlist too?

488
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,120
Like he knows them or some likes
them.

489
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so it's on this right,

490
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,000
which fit if.
You're an If you're an

491
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,720
indicator, you know exactly.
Didn't.

492
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:08,800
Who, who?
Both are and.

493
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,520
What about Crosby, Stills, Nash
and Young?

494
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,680
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and then
who else?

495
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Jefferson Starship?
Jefferson Airplane, Right?

496
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,160
They're the same.
Didn't they change?

497
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,240
Oh yeah, and then.
I asked my daughter if she knew

498
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,280
of bands that have changed, and
she's like, yeah, The Beatles,

499
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:33,520
they were the Quarrymen.
Yeah, but that was like their

500
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,240
first couple of gigs.
That's not, I know, different to

501
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,280
sort of Lovejoy doing their.
First, what the heck does new

502
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,640
era mean?
That has to be something new,

503
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,520
not just like regurgitating old
stuff or a album.

504
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:50,560
A new re release of OST with a
couple extra songs, right?

505
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,040
I think it's.
Unless they really didn't think

506
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,960
hard enough about putting the
word error on there.

507
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,720
Just picked a word.
Yeah, maybe.

508
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,560
I think it's a wildly
fascinating theory, I really do.

509
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:04,840
I mean, they should give me a
heads up.

510
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:11,600
I'm I'm, I'm.
I've got no clue what to say

511
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,440
about that Lovejoy changing
their name and.

512
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:19,600
Then I'd have to.
We'd have to change our name,

513
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,920
right?
Dang, good thing I use LVJY

514
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,120
everywhere in case they use that
still, yeah.

515
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,080
But I mean, they're kind of in a
situation.

516
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,920
Where it wouldn't.
Be the craziest idea.

517
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,360
They're still trying to like
Slough off like the icky stuff,

518
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,040
you know, And I mean, things are
going a lot better than they

519
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,960
they were and things are looking
up.

520
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:49,040
But it may be also Warner
records suggesting it as well.

521
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,720
Maybe they've done focus groups
or like I said, this tour has

522
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
been a mini focus group and
maybe they feel like they need

523
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,240
to just like evolve.
Warner Records.

524
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,880
If you're going to do focus
groups, there's the three of us

525
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,640
here.
Right.

526
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,760
We're going, yeah, we're totally
like the age demographic for.

527
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,080
Love enjoyers, music is for
everyone.

528
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,920
I know.
We know that, and we know quite

529
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,280
a lot of adults Lovejoy changing
their name.

530
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,560
You've just blown me away, you
completely.

531
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,360
You didn't see that one coming,
huh?

532
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,680
I never saw that one coming.
I didn't see that one coming

533
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,400
when I got on the Zoom with
Angie until you were just

534
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:31,840
chatting, chatting, chatting and
then woo.

535
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:39,000
I no, I never saw that coming.
I totally understand.

536
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:44,560
New era, OK, we're released the
album that was said we're going

537
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:50,440
to do blah blah blah under
Lovejoy, then we're going to re

538
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,320
release the album under a
different name.

539
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:01,840
With extended, we're we're going
to re release the extended album

540
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,880
under a different name.
I can't, I don't know whether

541
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,840
that's going to happen.
I can't see that happening.

542
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:10,040
My brain's telling me no.
This is where I think we need

543
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:11,960
Vinny on.
If this does, especially if this

544
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,520
does happen, I would love to
talk to Vinny about this kind of

545
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,600
stuff.
You know, I totally understand

546
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:22,400
Joy Division, New Order.
They've, they've swapped lead

547
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:27,400
singers, they're bringing it in.
Still the same kind of band.

548
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,960
Yeah.
But changing see when you when

549
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,320
you were on about Joy Division,
I'm thinking what is we're

550
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,400
leaving is what what, what,
what?

551
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:42,600
There's no this band doesn't
exist without him, Margaret.

552
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:50,639
I get that, but it's mental.
I can't comprehend what you've

553
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:55,280
just kind of my little brain's
going.

554
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:01,360
Well, it's Leslie.
Said a lot of people.

555
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,800
Cool.
Leslie said it was out there,

556
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:09,200
but she said it was out there.
It's her fault wherever you are

557
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,920
pointing.
To I'm in the middle on my

558
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:16,080
screen, it's like Brady Bunch.
Leslie, you did say it was out

559
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:17,760
there.
You did say it was crazy.

560
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,440
Yeah.
It's a little.

561
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,280
It's it's a little it's, it's
all of that.

562
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:27,480
But I don't think it's a 0%
possibility.

563
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,320
I mean it.
Yeah.

564
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:33,480
You know, Yeah, it's yeah.
And I think that's where I think

565
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,880
that's where you're coming from
too, right, Leslie?

566
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:42,080
Like you're not like full on
expecting it, but you're saying

567
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:46,240
it could be a possibility.
I just feel like era means like

568
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,840
a big change to something new.
Yeah, I do too.

569
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,360
And that's a huge word.
The things we've been talking

570
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,600
about happening are not new
things, they're just enhanced

571
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,280
things or nostalgic things,
which it would definitely not be

572
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:05,640
new.
Yeah, it's it is definitely not

573
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,560
impossible.
All right, well, that brings us

574
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:13,480
to Wilbur's emojis in his
Instagram profile bio.

575
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:19,560
I think we've talked maybe about
where they were last time.

576
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,840
I don't remember.
So it was a hedgehog initially.

577
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Let's just recap hedgehog
initially, then two hedgehogs.

578
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,480
People are like, Oh my God,
girlfriend, right?

579
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,120
Or they met or it was another
album or something.

580
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:35,440
Maybe another Wilbur album or
another Lovejoy album.

581
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,880
Then it there was an egg and
they're like, Oh my God, he's

582
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,520
pregnant.
Or maybe the egg is the new

583
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,280
album.
And then then there's a fire

584
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,680
with the egg.
And then there was a frying pan

585
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:57,920
with an egg cooking on it.
Then what did we have after that

586
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:02,160
one hedgehog?
I don't even know.

587
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,520
And then a, was that when we had
the the police car and the

588
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,240
police light and an arrow
pointing at the single singular

589
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:15,960
hedgehog.
And now we have a hedgehog with

590
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:19,720
like some sort of pistol
pointing at it in a police car.

591
00:37:19,720 --> 00:37:22,680
So people are getting worried.
Like, does this means, well,

592
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,160
that Dave, you had said that,
right?

593
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:25,800
Like you thought something maybe
went wrong?

594
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,480
Yeah.
Yeah, I initially thought it was

595
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,440
and Ash style tease.
You know how Ash put his little

596
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,680
emojis out and all that lot.
So I thought great, awesome.

597
00:37:42,680 --> 00:37:45,560
So you know, oh, they're cooking
something great.

598
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,560
Yeah, wonderful.
Yeah.

599
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,280
Oh, there was a plate in a fork,
and there's a plate in the fork

600
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,280
and knife.
That's right after the.

601
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,360
Cooking the cooking part after
cooking the egg.

602
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,200
Yeah, so I originally thought,
great, they're cooking

603
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,320
something, something's going to
be released.

604
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:07,600
Something is going to be
released, Not sure what.

605
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,440
And then not this one, but the
last one with the arrow.

606
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,040
Something's gone wrong.
Something's going to be.

607
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,640
Pushed.
Yeah, it's like emergency.

608
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,800
Yeah.
Because that kind of for me that

609
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,760
coincided with we've had
incoming, incoming and then

610
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:32,160
nothing.
Yeah.

611
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:39,480
And then Friday it was new era.
Yeah.

612
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,920
Does this all correspond?
Or is he just playing with us

613
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,120
now because he knows we're
really paying attention to his

614
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,360
silly bio?
Yeah.

615
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,280
And then the last one came
through and you're like, what do

616
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:54,320
you make of this?
And I'm like, I'm too tired.

617
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,360
My brain's given up.
I know.

618
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:02,880
Honestly and.
So that's what I initially

619
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:07,040
thought and that's it was it was
getting me excited and all this

620
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:11,000
and thinking great.
What with the the Instagrams and

621
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,720
his, something's happening and
now I've got no bloody clue.

622
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:18,960
I know I.
Don't like?

623
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,760
Yeah.
I'm lost.

624
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:21,760
They could change their name.
That's.

625
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,160
What it?
Yeah, I'm lost too.

626
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,840
Maybe he's like tired of this
whole freaking hedgehog thing he

627
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,520
got caught in, so he's like
killing it off just to like be

628
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:35,760
done with it because he's tired
of it.

629
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,560
Honestly no clue, don't care,
can't be bothered, no.

630
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,200
Yeah, it.
Hurts my brain.

631
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,920
Yeah, I think.
He's, I mean, it's Will's way.

632
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,200
Remember, he put gasping in his
profile.

633
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,760
Everybody's like, what does that
mean?

634
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:59,320
Does the shooting the police
shot the hedgehog is that

635
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:07,920
corresponds with the new era?
Oh, killing the old era, killing

636
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:13,840
the old band name.
Hey, what's that line in Oh, is

637
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,600
it glass chalet?
Something about change?

638
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:24,920
Something about kill it dead?
Change my name in Glass Chalet?

639
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:28,080
I don't know.
Anyway, it's just what that

640
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:28,880
reminded me of.
Oh oh.

641
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,680
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I can't think of the

642
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:33,000
lyric.
Wait a minute, you just gave me

643
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,840
a thought, Dave, you had come up
with this and we didn't cover,

644
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,080
we didn't address it.
April 3rd is the six month

645
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,120
anniversary of the album and we
speculated for a while that

646
00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:47,440
maybe something big will be
announced or happened on that

647
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:52,440
day and you made the connection
that not only is it the 6th

648
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,040
month anniversary, what else is
April 3rd?

649
00:40:55,480 --> 00:41:02,240
It's Good Friday, which would be
the resurrection or close to the

650
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:08,360
resurrection of Rob.
Good Friday is a good band name.

651
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:14,240
There you go.
Maybe that's going to be.

652
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,960
Yeah, yeah, they got it all
planned out because.

653
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,080
It didn't click.
It didn't click that.

654
00:41:19,240 --> 00:41:21,480
You know, we've all you've
spoken about.

655
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,760
Oh, it's April the 3rd, and
April the 3rd is Good Friday.

656
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,440
Or it's going to be called
resurrection.

657
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,600
Hold on a minute.
They all sound like they could

658
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:39,280
be something.
So that six months isn't Good

659
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:44,400
Friday when Jesus died.
Angie knows better than I.

660
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,760
Yes, because it's like the
opposite.

661
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,160
It sounds like it shouldn't be
good.

662
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,760
Yeah, right, right.
Yeah, It's when Jesus died.

663
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,240
And then Easter Sunday is when
he rose from the dead, correct,

664
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,360
This goes, oh I hate rabbit
holes.

665
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,320
This goes with Leslie's theory
now, doesn't it?

666
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,160
I don't.
I could see the wheels in your

667
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:11,720
head, David.
You've got the album for six

668
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:14,960
months.
Bang, Good Friday, No More

669
00:42:15,240 --> 00:42:19,040
Easter Sunday.
Welcome to the White Rabbit or

670
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,600
whatever you want to call
yourself.

671
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,360
Scan.
And it's, yeah, it was one

672
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,880
simple trick.
Then it's going to be a whole

673
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:29,720
thing.
I hate you folks.

674
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:37,280
You're welcome.
The whole thing with Rob.

675
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,000
That's that's going to be it.
Now we're going to finish

676
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:43,200
recording and I'm just going to
sit there and I'm just going to

677
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,400
maybe.
It'll just be called Rob.

678
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,040
Rob.
Dave's going to be awake all

679
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,960
night thinking about this.
Food for.

680
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:58,560
Thought it's just, you've just
blown my mind and I don't, I

681
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,280
don't know, just will Easter be
something?

682
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,920
See, will Easter, the 6th month
be something?

683
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,320
Man, you know, we've had
incoming, we've had new era.

684
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,280
Are we going to have how long we
got?

685
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:20,960
2-3 weeks.
How much longer can they draw

686
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:25,040
this out without like some sort
of like climax to all right?

687
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:29,920
So we've loosely got a month.
Sacrifice.

688
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,560
They should call themselves
sacrifice like he was a

689
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,440
sacrifice and now a.
Sacrificial lamb.

690
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,840
Yeah.
Yeah, there you go.

691
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:46,080
There you go.
Maybe it'd be Cabooluso juice.

692
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:53,720
Cabooluso juice.
Don't even Angie remember you'd

693
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:58,560
noticed that the T-shirt, it had
it like its own like logo and

694
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,760
ash druid on stuff and it said
like ostero or something.

695
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,920
Osteo.
Yeah, Osteo.

696
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,920
And that means skeleton or
something.

697
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,320
Or skull, yeah.
It's like Latin for bone, I

698
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,280
think, or something.
Or skeleton.

699
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,880
I mean, yeah, you're right.
I don't know.

700
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,840
That was probably 1 or another
of those goofy things where it

701
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:19,560
means nothing.
But I mean, I thought it was

702
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,920
interesting.
Worth bringing up.

703
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:25,560
I don't know, Sometimes I feel
like I just need to super glue a

704
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:29,160
tinfoil hat out of my head, but
you know.

705
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,800
I know, I know.
So what do you think of the

706
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,840
emojis, Angie?
I think they're just a bunch of

707
00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,000
baloney and he's laughing.
I don't know.

708
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:42,600
Yeah.
I I've come to the conclusion

709
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,640
that is exactly what it is.
Oh, did you see in his comments

710
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:50,680
the other day, he posted a bunch
of pictures from New York and

711
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:54,600
someone said, what?
What did you do to the hedgehog?

712
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,640
Or don't hurt?
Like, why are you killing the

713
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,640
hedgehog?
And he said consequences.

714
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,680
Yeah.
Yeah.

715
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:14,240
Like you said, the hedgehog is
the name Consequences, wink

716
00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:17,200
wink.
Consequences are leading to

717
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:22,120
changing things in a new era.
I wish they would.

718
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,760
Maybe it's not just about the
hedgehog.

719
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:29,720
Get out of the rabbit hole.
At least I'm not in the gutter.

720
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,320
That's right, better in the
rabbit hole than the gutter.

721
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,120
That's, I love that Leslie.
Because we fall down that one

722
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:38,440
too.
We.

723
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:48,280
Fall into the gutter.
Doing a wine string.

724
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:50,920
You don't know what's in our
cups right now.

725
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,480
Yeah, would not surprise me.
What are you?

726
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,520
You're not even midday yet, are
you?

727
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,360
You never know somewhere.
It's 5:00 somewhere.

728
00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:06,960
Is that what she said?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

729
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,480
I just believe he's playing with
us now.

730
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,640
But now you've just said that
it's like, Oh dear God.

731
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,440
You never know.
Yeah, I don't know.

732
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,600
And he commented an egg on
someone's post.

733
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:21,920
I don't even know what that was.
Oh, someone said don't get

734
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:23,720
pregnant, will, so you put an
egg.

735
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:26,560
That's right.
So what does that mean?

736
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,320
Like Will, are you pregnant?
Maybe.

737
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,160
Maybe he's raising chickens.
Yeah, yeah.

738
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,440
He's.
Got some free range chickens?

739
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:43,200
Oh, he remember he was an egg.
Maybe he was egg man.

740
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:45,160
Maybe it's just going to be
called like egg band or

741
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,360
something.
Egg man egg, egg egg Pound no.

742
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,440
Yeah, maybe they're that.
Maybe.

743
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,200
Yeah.
There you go, Dave, maybe, Yeah.

744
00:46:56,200 --> 00:47:03,160
There's scan and eggshells I
don't think Dave likes All right

745
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,640
deals.
You.

746
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,360
You've blown me away this
evening, You really have.

747
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,160
We've left you left everyone
with some food for thought.

748
00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:14,280
Food.
Food.

749
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:18,120
Yes.
Yeah, a whole plateful.

750
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:18,920
Yay.
Yeah.

751
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:25,080
Leftovers for tomorrow.
Yeah, tell us your theories.

752
00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:28,320
They can't possibly be.
Any more crazier?

753
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:30,440
Any more crazy?
Yes.

754
00:47:30,440 --> 00:47:32,920
Oh, my gosh, Yeah.
I want to hear what people

755
00:47:32,920 --> 00:47:34,640
think.
Please, please, please let us

756
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,120
know.
Have we gone off the deep end?

757
00:47:36,400 --> 00:47:37,320
I don't know.
Maybe.

758
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,720
Oh, I think you 2 have, yes.
How fun would it be if it

759
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,560
happens, then we get to like
work backwards all the clues

760
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:51,240
along the way before New Era and
be like, oh, that's why that and

761
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:53,760
that's why that that'll be even
more fun.

762
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,680
