00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,960
Hello and welcome back for
episode 7 of the Lovejoy Nation

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,960
Podcast.
So what's new guys?

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,720
What's been going on since we
last chatted?

4
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:16,360
Oh, it seems like forever.
It's we last all chatted.

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:20,080
What's been going on with me?
Not too much.

6
00:00:20,080 --> 00:00:27,040
I did go down to Brighton and
bumped into a super famous

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280
person down there, but you can
hear more about that.

8
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:32,720
Yeah.
You can hear more about that

9
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,720
later.
What about you, Angie?

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,520
Oh hey guys, it does seem like
it's been a long time.

11
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,880
What have I been up to?
Let's see, Pebble got her second

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,640
degree black belt a few weeks
ago so that was pretty exciting

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,440
to see and of course I have
been.

14
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,480
Thank you, Thank you.
It wasn't me, but I'll take some

15
00:00:51,480 --> 00:00:54,000
of the credit cuz I have to
drive her back and forth.

16
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,360
So thank you.
Of course, I've been on a all

17
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,080
things Summerfest roll here.
So we went, we saw, we survived,

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,400
we came back and I will get into
those details later on in the

19
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,160
show.
Some yeah, I just got back from

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:15,160
England this week after two
weeks and I gotta say I I'm

21
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,360
looking forward to returning.
I had the best time ever, but

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,200
I'll be talking more about that
later on.

23
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,040
That brings us to the next
segment.

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,640
On today's show we've got
Lovejoy band news, including the

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,960
single drop and everything
surrounding it.

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,080
I mean, what a month it's been,
the music video, the promotion,

27
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,440
etcetera.
We will talk all things

28
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,640
Summerfest, including an
interview with Tik Toker and

29
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,440
artist Tyler Catastrophe, who
was at the show, and he will

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,720
share his experience.
And I'll be bringing up and

31
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:53,840
discussing Lovejoy related sites
that I visited while out in

32
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,120
England because of course, I had
to include Lovejoy in the

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,320
vacation.
So now it's time for Lovejoy

34
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,400
band news.
And we'll start with Dave, who's

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,440
got some Lovejoy adjacent news
to bring up today.

36
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,320
Yeah, thanks.
As of yesterday, at this point

37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:17,920
of recording, Cram Beats dropped
a surprise half an album, if you

38
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,000
want to call it that, or an
additional part of the album.

39
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,600
It's Empty Streets.
I'll be quite honest with you,

40
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,200
I've been really busy today,
this morning, and I have not had

41
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,520
time to listen to it.
I don't know whether any of you

42
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,800
folks have, but by the looks of
it, he's added a few additional

43
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:42,600
songs and turned the old sort of
Missed Calls singles, added them

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,160
all to an album.
So the track listing is falling

45
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,120
for you.
Slow dancing, missed calls.

46
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,080
Nowhere to go.
Lost in thought.

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,120
You like jazz?
I really need to do that in an

48
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:01,480
American accent.
Distant memories and.

49
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,760
We haven't heard that, have we?
What?

50
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Dave with an American accent.
No, we haven't.

51
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,400
No, Don't I need time to
practice?

52
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,400
Don't time like the present
doesn't stop you like doing an

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:24,400
English one.
All right, Governor, no, I can't

54
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,040
do one.
Not off the top of my head.

55
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,560
It's too much pressure.
You got to do it like my

56
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,680
daughter, says Tom Holland with
the Spider Man.

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:41,800
It's like Gee willikers.
Cartoon character.

58
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,840
Yeah, it sure talks exciting
like this, like you're really

59
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,960
hyped up about something.
I can do a lot of accents off

60
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,560
the top of my head, but American
I I find difficult.

61
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,160
I could probably go cup of
coffee, but that's about it.

62
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,800
Oh.
That's like the New York.

63
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880
Yeah, yeah.
So Yep, happy for Cram beads,

64
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,160
happy for Mark.
So that's, I guess that's the

65
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200
whole complete album now.
I guess he's dropping singles

66
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,600
all along.
And then now this is sort of

67
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320
like the finished product.
Absolutely.

68
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,920
We'll have to do a little mini
review next time when we've all

69
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,720
had time to sit down and listen
to it.

70
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Yeah, and the artwork is really
cool again as usual, with a

71
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:27,480
little Easter egg beans and
Ernie and they're.

72
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,280
Super cute.
All right, and I believe we have

73
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:36,320
a lot to talk about with regards
to Summerfest, Lovejoy coming to

74
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,120
the Land of Cheese, and our own
Angie got to attend.

75
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:46,040
Yes, Lovejoy.
Lovejoy came to the land of

76
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:51,280
cheese on July 3rd.
They had a headlining set at the

77
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,000
Miller Lite Oasis stage at
Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI.

78
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,640
And yes, I was there.
It was, it was a great day.

79
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,280
It was super hot.
But you know what, that was

80
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,480
fine.
We met up with some friends, did

81
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,520
a bit of, you know, wandering
around during the day, shopped

82
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,120
some Summerfest merch.
I will say that Lovejoy did not

83
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,720
have any merch out until shortly
before they're set.

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,480
And it was.
Already stuff that we'd seen in

85
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,080
previous merch drops, so there
was nothing new, no exclusive

86
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,840
merch or anything like that.
I will mention one thing.

87
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,120
Yeah, I will mention one thing
for people that do go to

88
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,680
Summerfest in the future, in
case this is helpful.

89
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,320
They have a very strange and
sort of complicated pit policy.

90
00:05:36,840 --> 00:05:41,360
We purchased pit wristbands
which granted us access to the

91
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,800
lower, probably, I don't know,
5-6 rows of the show.

92
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,040
But what they do is instead of
having to wait in in the pit all

93
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,760
day, they cleared out about 7:30
at night.

94
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,880
So everybody has to get out of
the pit.

95
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,280
Even if you have a wristband on,
they will make you get out.

96
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,800
And then about half an hour
later, they will let people in

97
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,280
again in an orderly fashion.
So in case anybody goes to

98
00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:06,680
Summerfest in the future, just
something to keep in mind.

99
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,800
It was really confusing.
We had to ask about 5 million

100
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,360
different people.
They all told us different

101
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,480
things.
So but that, yeah, that was fun.

102
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:19,360
So that's how that went.
But it was great to catch up

103
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,320
with some friends.
It was really nice to meet some

104
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,880
new people and see a few faces I
had not seen in a while.

105
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,760
The show started about 10:15 at
night.

106
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,200
And it was, oh, man, everybody
was counting down to the right

107
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,680
till 10:15 on the dot.
You could just hear it 1098 and

108
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,200
then and then when it once it,
yeah, it was great.

109
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,280
And once it got to 1 and they
weren't out there, everybody

110
00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,040
started chanting.
Lovejoy.

111
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:48,200
Lovejoy.
Yeah, it was great.

112
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,120
They started out with normal
people things.

113
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,720
They sounded absolutely
fantastic as always.

114
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,760
As always, the people that were
right there in the front and,

115
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,080
you know, farther back.
Even still, it was a really

116
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,320
super high energy crowd.
And you could tell this sounds

117
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,640
sort of strange, but really you
could really tell that the band

118
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,000
and especially Will kind of seem
to feed off of the crowds energy

119
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,680
and I think they really
appreciated having that there.

120
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,840
So that was really neat to see.
They did play with Rob as my

121
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,840
witness and Perfect Blue Joe
happened to have a perfect blue

122
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,480
T-shirt on which he was very
proud of and was happy to show

123
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,360
the audience.
Alan Osmanson was there as their

124
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,160
trumpeter.
He absolutely killed it.

125
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,680
One thing that was a highlight
for me was getting to hear the

126
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,520
end of Foxholes.
They changed it up a little bit

127
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,720
and I love it because you can
hear Joe a lot more.

128
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,240
You can really hear him sing,
and he even has this little

129
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,000
screaming part at the end, which
was really cool.

130
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:53,440
So he's got a great voice, yeah.
He had his time to shine.

131
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,720
I haven't heard it yet.
I kind, I don't know.

132
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,400
I guess I'm waiting for, to see
it live in person.

133
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,800
But I'm sure I won't be able to
wait that long and I'll have to

134
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,960
give in and watch the video and
see, see it for myself, hear it

135
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,360
for myself.
Yeah, 'cause I always loved the

136
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,720
end of foxholes.
So I'm, I'm a little nervous, I

137
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,320
guess to hear the change, but
you said you liked it so.

138
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,800
I love it.
I love it.

139
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,440
Yeah.
It does kind of showcase Joe a

140
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,760
little bit more, which and, you
know, we all know he has a good

141
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,880
voice and we've heard them talk
about that before.

142
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,480
So, yeah, it was good to get
some, to get some Joe in the mix

143
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,480
there at the end.
And boy, what?

144
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:30,520
Let's see what did Will have to
tell us.

145
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,840
He did say that they had tried
Wisconsin cheese curds that day.

146
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,360
So of course the crowd loved
that.

147
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,600
Yes.
So he, he called it warm cheese

148
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,640
and he was like, you know, I
wouldn't say I would serve.

149
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,080
Some warm cheese.
Well, we do in Wisconsin, in

150
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Cheeseland.
It's cheese curds.

151
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Dave, do you know what cheese
curds are?

152
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,320
Deep fried cheese curds.
Have you heard of them?

153
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:57,040
He doesn't want to try.
I have heard of cheese curds.

154
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,840
Yes, deep fried.
Actually, that could be all

155
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:06,560
right.
But America is not the home of

156
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:10,240
cheese.
Dude, are we going to have this

157
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,440
conversation again?
Every time.

158
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,480
Every time.
And you know what that reminds

159
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,280
me?
Will was talking about talking

160
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640
about where he grew up, and
gosh, I can't remember what the

161
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,280
name of the place, the city or
the town was.

162
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,240
Yes, that's it.
That's it.

163
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,160
And he had mentioned that and he
said, well, that's kind of like

164
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,560
like the cheese land of of
England or whatever.

165
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,400
So yeah, yeah, it's not.
You're shaking your head.

166
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,440
Cheddar, Somerset.
OK, OK.

167
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,560
No, there's a lot of flattish
gram.

168
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,960
There's a lot of farms and dairy
farms around that way around in

169
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,480
Suffolk.
OK, well, I'll, I'll let, I'll

170
00:09:53,560 --> 00:09:55,280
let you and we'll talk about
that one.

171
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,640
He did mention Kurds.
Everybody was, you know, happy

172
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,480
about that.
He did mention that, that it

173
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,680
was, it was great to, you know,
see some new and familiar faces,

174
00:10:06,680 --> 00:10:10,600
which was pretty cool.
He did confirm that the debut

175
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,920
album is coming out later this
year.

176
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,280
He said it only took us 4
bleeping, although he didn't say

177
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,560
bleeping only took us 4 bleeping
years to make because we've been

178
00:10:20,560 --> 00:10:25,320
making all these EPS.
So, but it is definitely coming

179
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,680
out this year.
So that is some exciting news.

180
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:34,440
And it was really fun to read a
few of the reviews after the

181
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,640
show.
I've been trying to think about

182
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,920
how to put this into words the
show.

183
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:43,520
But I think some of the some of
the phrases from the reviews

184
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:45,440
kind of really sum it up
perfectly.

185
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,920
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
which is the top newspaper in

186
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Milwaukee, actually praised
Summerfest for bringing Lovejoy

187
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,680
to town.
They really, you know, they're

188
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:58,400
like props to Summerfest for
this was clearly a big score in

189
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,880
booking.
This band is amazing, you know

190
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,640
that they called the set tight
and energetic with a fiercely

191
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,560
loyal crowd.
And they described it as

192
00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:10,600
communal and electric.
And that's, I mean, if I had to

193
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,920
describe it, that's that's how I
could describe.

194
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,160
I mean, I would describe it to
you.

195
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:20,160
Everybody there was just was
just there for Lovejoy and

196
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,000
everybody you know, they they
knew the words to all the songs,

197
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,640
even the unreleased ones and
just the energy, especially in

198
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:31,440
that pit there was was really
amazing and like the Sentinel

199
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,760
side really just electric.
There was another great review

200
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,720
from a paper called on Milwaukee
and they talked about how the

201
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,880
band really seemed to feed off
of the crowd energy.

202
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,760
And that was another thing I
really noticed too.

203
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,240
They really just did.
It almost felt like the crowd

204
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,280
and the band were fuelling each
other, which was really cool.

205
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,320
Having had one thing they
mentioned it, how is it was a

206
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,760
really huge deal to headline a
Summerfest show without having

207
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,640
had a debut album out yet.
I mean, if you think about it,

208
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,760
it feels for some of us, it
feels like we've been following

209
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,760
these guys for a really long
time, but they don't even have

210
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,360
an album out yet.
So it's.

211
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,400
True.
No full layer.

212
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,520
Yeah.
Yeah.

213
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:12,720
Absolutely no.
So it is a big deal.

214
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:16,000
And you know, they said we feel
like we're watching a band that,

215
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,120
you know, has great things ahead
of them and they're really on

216
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,240
the incline.
And honestly, that's I mean,

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,360
that that's really how I felt
too watching them.

218
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,040
It was really high energy.
There was a great vibe.

219
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,400
The guys looked really happy to
be there and as always it was a

220
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,040
great show.
They they don't disappoint.

221
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,760
They put on a great show every
time.

222
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,280
And, you know, it's one thing
for us to gush over a

223
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:44,560
performance like you are as fans
and like obsessed fans, but to

224
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:48,320
have these articles, these
reporters say the same thing or

225
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,400
say put in even greater words
than we could is even more

226
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,520
meaningful.
And I like that some of the

227
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,040
language about the crowd being
electric and the communal

228
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,880
feeling and all of that, the
energy, these are words that

229
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,760
were used to describe them in
2023 and by reviewers all over

230
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,520
the country and the world.
So absolutely.

231
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,680
So there's it's like nothing
happened.

232
00:13:14,680 --> 00:13:17,520
You know, there's like there has
been no, even though there's

233
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,800
been some time off and a break
and some quiet time and a reset,

234
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,400
it's like.
They're back at it, just picking

235
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,520
up where they left off and not
skipping a beat.

236
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,760
And it's very exciting to see
what's coming for them.

237
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,240
It's absolutely great.
And like you said, to see just,

238
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:40,040
you know, some non biased
opinions from people who who

239
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,960
say, yeah, I mean, these guys
are terrific.

240
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,920
And I know I think it was again,
the Journal Sentinel ranked

241
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,800
Lovejoy out of hundreds and
hundreds and hundreds of

242
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240
artists.
They ranked them among the top

243
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,720
25 performances of.
Of all of Summerfest, which

244
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,640
again, is, you know, that's
huge.

245
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,920
So you know, they're, they're
here.

246
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:02,560
They're legit.
I think other Kelly shouted from

247
00:14:02,560 --> 00:14:03,600
the rooftops.
More.

248
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,440
I think that needs to be put out
there more that you've mentioned

249
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,440
it and reminded me of that fact.
I feel like I'll, I'll have to

250
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:14,720
put something out there to, to
have that get some more reach

251
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,400
because if that matters, that
means something.

252
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,240
You know, all these things add
up.

253
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,640
Absolutely, and I hope the band
was able to read those reviews

254
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,720
too.
I mean, if that was me, I would

255
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,080
have been over the moon, you
know?

256
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,120
So I hope they got to see those
kind words 'cause they do.

257
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:38,480
I'm sure, I'm sure Buster or
something looks into this and it

258
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,200
was on the Reddit read this.
Yeah.

259
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,400
Yeah, I think you had it on the
Reddit as well.

260
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Yeah.
So hopefully they caught it on

261
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,440
there.
But, you know, I think we all

262
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,200
thought that there was going to
be some additional shows in the

263
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,240
area, but no, they just popped
into Summerfest and popped back

264
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,960
out and it was just kind of.
That was interesting.

265
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,800
Yeah.
Other than, you know, that

266
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,080
acoustic gig, which we'll talk
about in a little bit.

267
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,880
It was just kind of in and out.
But I think it was huge for

268
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,080
them.
I think it was a really great

269
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,760
stepping stone in their career
towards, you know, coming back

270
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,920
and and showing everybody what
they're capable of and that they

271
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,840
do belong here and they do
deserve this.

272
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,600
So it was a great night.
Cool, what?

273
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,840
What would you say was your
favorite song of the night?

274
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,800
The Fall is always amazing.
The song just, it translates so

275
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,040
well live and just the energy of
it is it's always a great song.

276
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,480
But for me, I absolutely adore
Perfect Blue.

277
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,320
I know it hasn't been released
yet, but just from hearing it at

278
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,280
the Rock for People video that
was taken, I I love it and being

279
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,760
able to hear it live with my own
ears was absolutely fantastic.

280
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:57,680
I think those two, those two
were the standouts for me, but

281
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,600
I.
Was expecting you to say Rob.

282
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:02,720
Yeah, well, you know what?
Rob was good too.

283
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,480
It's hard.
Did you get any reaction to your

284
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,280
shirt, your shirts that you
made-up?

285
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:13,000
You know what I I had about?
OK, so for listeners.

286
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,120
To explain that.
Yes.

287
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:19,360
To explain my shirt, we had
shirts made that said on the

288
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,280
front they said I'm with Rob.
And then they had the Lovejoy

289
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:28,640
Nation on the back.
So there was about 3 just random

290
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,000
people at Summerfest.
Their name was Rob.

291
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,240
And so they wanted to take
pictures with us.

292
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:35,480
So like, this is really funny.
Yeah.

293
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Awesome.
Yeah.

294
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,640
Awesome.
Yeah, so that was pretty funny.

295
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,400
And you know what?
I did have a couple people at

296
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,080
the show ask like if they were
available for purchase.

297
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,040
So.
So we'll have to, you know,

298
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,320
we'll have to discuss that.
But yes.

299
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,920
So Leslie, thank you for making
up that very clever phrase.

300
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,960
I know that's the name of your
Spotify Rob streaming playlist,

301
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,440
so thanks for that.
You're welcome.

302
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,359
Can you always count on me for
corniness?

303
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,200
Well, Speaking of corny, I guess
it doesn't get any cornier than

304
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:16,200
the chicken Nuggets that were
handed out as well, Yes?

305
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,240
We we have these amazing chicken
Nuggets.

306
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,720
They're if you've seen the
Lovejoy movie, you'll know what

307
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,640
I'm talking about.
These fake chicken Nuggets on a

308
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,680
key chain with some ketchup.
Fake ketchup.

309
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,920
I guess I'm looking at one right
now, actually dipped into it and

310
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:36,320
we've got this really cute
little guitar pick shaped tag

311
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,800
that's got the Lovejoy Nation
logo and all this other fun

312
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,800
stuff.
So if you were there and I saw

313
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,040
you, hopefully you got a nugget.
But if you weren't there, if you

314
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,400
haven't been to a show yet, all
three of us I would say, and in

315
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,840
the coming soon's, whenever
there's a tour or another show

316
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,360
announced, we will have these
with us.

317
00:17:55,360 --> 00:18:00,440
So don't miss your opportunity
to come up and say hi and snag a

318
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,080
nugget.
As my husband would say, a

319
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,600
bloody nugget.
You think so?

320
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:05,520
A.
Bloody nugget.

321
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,080
Oh yeah, that could go both
ways.

322
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,000
Like English, you know, Like,
yes, a bloody nugget.

323
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:12,800
Bloody.
Nugget.

324
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,160
Give me a bloody nugget.
So that's what she say to Dave

325
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,680
if you're in the UK and you see
him at a show, right Dave?

326
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,240
Give me a bloody nugget, yeah?
Like that?

327
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,960
Yeah.
Yeah.

328
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,720
Please put please on the end.
Where's me nugget?

329
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,400
Yeah, I tell you, I love these
Nuggets.

330
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,280
What a great idea.
I've got a whole box in front of

331
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:41,240
me.
Yeah, I really have, actually.

332
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,760
But yeah.
Better hope we get to give these

333
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,440
away.
Yeah.

334
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,920
And yeah, I really do.
I hope to give these away.

335
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,000
So hopefully very, very soon I
may be able to give some away.

336
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,320
Surely it's got to be my turn
next, is it?

337
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:58,680
I think so.
I I think it probably is too.

338
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,560
We shall see.
They're from the UK so it makes

339
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,120
sense.
Which brings me to my trip to

340
00:19:09,120 --> 00:19:11,120
the UK.
It's a lot of segue.

341
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:16,840
I dragged my family around to
all the things I could come up

342
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,840
with ahead of time and put in my
itinerary.

343
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:26,320
Lovejoy must seize And I've also
put together a TikTok that

344
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:32,360
includes 15 of them to see if
y'all could figure out how these

345
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,080
pictures and videos relate to
the band.

346
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,800
And that's been a lot of fun
getting people's reactions to

347
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,640
it.
So I would just, I had to go to

348
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,880
Wetherspoons and have a glass of
white wine.

349
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,160
That was mandatory.
White wine and Wetherspoons.

350
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,600
If you don't know what that is,
look it up.

351
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Your funk and Wagnalls, as my
dad would say.

352
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,400
So that was a must do.
And it's funny because I found

353
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,680
out that Wetherspoons is sort of
like this umbrella company for

354
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:11,040
many restaurants.
So I think, I don't know what,

355
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:13,600
they all have funny names like
the Fox and the Unicorn or some

356
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:19,280
nonsense like that.
And it was very hard to find a

357
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,520
part of the menu that actually
said Wetherspoons on it.

358
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,400
But for you all, I did it.
I had to see the smash.

359
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,520
It kind of happened upon it, and
I was glad to have the smash

360
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,400
burger where Ash and Will
supposedly met.

361
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,440
I mean, that's like Paul and
John Lennon meeting, you know,

362
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,320
change the course of history.
It should be a National

363
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Monument, shouldn't?
It maybe I'll have like a plaque

364
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,920
on it one day.
Blue plaques around Brighton.

365
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,840
Yeah, maybe.
Yeah, Will walked by here.

366
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,480
Yeah, This is the route he took
to get to the train every day or

367
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,160
something.
I don't know.

368
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:03,400
So let's see some other items.
Brighton Electric, which is

369
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,760
really cool.
It's a recording studio,

370
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,240
rehearsal space, venue housed
in.

371
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760
It looks like maybe it's a
called Brighton Electric because

372
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
it was an electric company plant
or power plant or something.

373
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,160
What do you think Dave has that?
Yeah, it's.

374
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,160
I know where it is.
I'm just trying to picture it.

375
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,880
It probably was something like
that, yes, Yeah.

376
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:26,400
It looks like they took over
like an.

377
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Old, Yeah, an old, an old power,
yeah.

378
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,560
And that goes along with
Wetherspoons.

379
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,800
A lot of the Wetherspoons,
depending on what building

380
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:42,240
they've taken over what that
building was previous, is

381
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,560
generally related within the
title.

382
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,480
OK.
Yeah.

383
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,640
I can't remember what the one we
went to was, it was in Brighton

384
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:55,440
and it had two floors so I was
hoping it was like the song 1.

385
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:02,600
I know you were at table 53.
Yes, because this crazy man over

386
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,960
here, Dave, sent drinks to our
table.

387
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,880
Oh that was so cool.
How fun is that though?

388
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,920
Because you order through the
app on the phone and you put in

389
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,640
a table number.
So then Dave says, what's your

390
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,640
table number?
So it's almost as if we did it,

391
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,320
but he did it from his phone.
You could just type in.

392
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Yeah, I can do it to any
Wetherspoons in the UK.

393
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,360
You were actually lucky because
you were going to get 6 portions

394
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,280
of peas.
I like regular peas.

395
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,680
The mashed peas taste like baby
food so I don't want that.

396
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,160
Mushy peas.
That's a really cool concept

397
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,320
that you can order somebody
something off of it, like an

398
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,920
app.
That's that's wild.

399
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:51,880
Do we have anything like that
here in the States?

400
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,960
I mean, maybe it's not meant for
that, but it works like that,

401
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,240
right?
I'm sure it's not commonly done.

402
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,120
There's, I'm certain it's a
Facebook page or a group, and

403
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:07,440
you join this group.
And so for argument's sake,

404
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:12,280
Leslie's puts on there, I'm at
table 53 and blah blah blah.

405
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,840
Do your best and then people
around the country just send you

406
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,520
all sorts.
You could you could no way end

407
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:28,280
up with 25 portions of chips.
You could end up with 30

408
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,120
portions of peas.
Oh my God, it's a whole game.

409
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,520
Really, I like that.
So the waiters must know this

410
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600
game.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.

411
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,520
At the end of the day, it's
money into Wetherspoons, so

412
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:42,120
yeah.
Yeah.

413
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,640
You're right, and as long as it
doesn't cost the person at the

414
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,320
table unexpected money.
You know the one we went to is

415
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,000
called the Post and Telegraph.
Yeah.

416
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,400
So that might have been an old
post office.

417
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,880
Yeah, sorting office, something
along those lines or very close

418
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,200
to it.
Well, it was what was like kind

419
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,240
of sad was on the dessert menu,
they had American pancakes.

420
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,920
I was like, what does that say
about us?

421
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:13,200
Just like in the London Zoo,
they had an exhibit of American

422
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,280
cockroaches and the exhibit was
meant to look like a filthy

423
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,400
kitchen.
And I was like, wow.

424
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,600
Yeah, we're on cultured swine
over here, aren't we?

425
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,320
That's our wildlife.
Pancakes and cockroaches.

426
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,480
Welcome to America.
Yeah, have a nice day.

427
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,760
Brighton Electric was cool.
I went in to see if they had

428
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:43,560
shirts or stickers or anything
and I really caught them off

429
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:45,960
guard.
They said someone comes in there

430
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,120
like once a year and asking for
that stuff.

431
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,080
So this poor guy, I asked for,
you know, if he had an extra

432
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:59,320
large balloon sweatshirt and he
disappeared for like 10 minutes.

433
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,440
And this other kid at the
counter is like someone helping

434
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,800
him.
Like, yeah, they're, I think

435
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,480
they're lost somewhere.
I feel bad.

436
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:11,320
He comes out like, covered in
dust with like, this one bright

437
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,840
blue sweatshirt.
He's like, it's the only thing I

438
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,840
could find in that size.
I'll take it.

439
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,960
Awesome.
Yeah, but it was so neat.

440
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,440
Like you hear the music and
things going on.

441
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,720
They have a schedule on the
counter of all the spaces and

442
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,400
who's in them at any given time.
It was packed full.

443
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,960
It was rock in that place.
And from across the street you

444
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,080
could look in the big windows
and you can see the walls and

445
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:45,240
recognize the walls from Lovejoy
pictures and videos of the, the

446
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,080
wood with the, what do you call
that, Dave?

447
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,840
The tiles that it looks like
they're made of wood with the

448
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,560
holes in them.
They're soundproofing tiles.

449
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200
OK.
But it looks like, it looks like

450
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:58,520
the color of wood.
I don't know.

451
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,800
Yeah, resembles that.
And you could see it from the

452
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,280
streets.
So I was like, Oh my gosh, that

453
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,240
may have been where they were
all.

454
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,320
That's.
So cool because they had a wall

455
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,680
of the albums that have been
recorded there and they had, oh,

456
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,200
you're all right up on there.
So that was neat, of course, to

457
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600
take a picture of it.
Was that like the blue walls

458
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,320
that the wall that we see in the
pictures?

459
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:23,280
Yes.
Oh, how cool.

460
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,200
That was fun.
And then Dave and I, we got to

461
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,960
meet up.
I'm that am I the?

462
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,640
Famous person you were referring
to.

463
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:36,880
Yes.
Well, I met someone famous too.

464
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,280
His name is.
Lego Dave the.

465
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:46,200
Bricksnapper my house, yeah.
And we went to Small Pond

466
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,600
Studios.
Yes, we did.

467
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,960
We are.
Traipsed across Brighton,

468
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,560
Lovejoy lore, Lovejoy wiki,
Angie Small pond.

469
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:02,240
Remind me what happened there?
They performed there I believe.

470
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,000
I don't know, but I know they've
it's a part of Lovejoy history.

471
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,920
And what was neat was there was
two young kids at the counter in

472
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,640
there, if I'm remembering
correctly right, Dave.

473
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:23,120
And.
And I mentioned we were Lovejoy

474
00:27:23,120 --> 00:27:26,840
fans and we do the podcast and
that's why we were popping in to

475
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,800
see if they had any, you know,
stickers or anything.

476
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,480
And they said, oh, Lovejoy,
that's the the YouTube.

477
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:38,360
Right, the singer's.
That YouTube and I was like,

478
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,800
yeah, yeah.
And he goes, oh, I think I

479
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,560
remember when they played, the
line was like around the corner

480
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,120
for like blocks the cue.
Yeah, you've never seen such a

481
00:27:51,120 --> 00:27:52,800
large queue.
Right.

482
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,560
I'm sure he said queue.
Yeah.

483
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,360
Oh, wow.
And so that was neat that that

484
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:58,840
made an impression, was
memorable.

485
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,200
Let's see, they did Pebble brain
there.

486
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,080
It was recorded there.
There you go.

487
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,920
There you have it.
So that was neat.

488
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:14,680
So that was part of the Lovejoy
tour, you know, just other

489
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:21,320
things, you know, the, the West
Pier, seeing that and seeing

490
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,200
model buses, like the poles in
front of the West Pier where

491
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,960
Mark plays at the drumsticks on
the poles.

492
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,000
That was neat.
So I, I put that in my little

493
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,360
video too.
And just seeing the seeing the

494
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:38,800
sea every morning when I woke
up, I just fell in love with

495
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,600
that city and can't wait to go
back.

496
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:47,920
I could see why it's so popular
and beloved because I feel like

497
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:49,640
it's not like any other place
I've ever been.

498
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:58,120
Brighton is is.
It's not like any other place

499
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,280
I've been.
It's a massive city, but on the

500
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:06,800
sea it is known as London by the
sea.

501
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,920
But it's quite a special place,
really.

502
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:17,440
Yeah.
And it really is quite special.

503
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, and Cape Cod, nothing

504
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,640
really competes.
Those cute little streets that

505
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,600
wind around in Brighton, the
colors, the flags, like

506
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,600
everywhere, just just awesome.
If you ever get a chance to go

507
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,360
and and check it out, it's it's
definitely worth it.

508
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680
The pebbles are bigger than I
expected on the beach.

509
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,520
I knew it was pebbly but I
didn't think the pebbles were as

510
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,960
big as they are.
They're more like river.

511
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,080
A lot of them are like river
stones like.

512
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,840
Smooth.
Stones, yeah.

513
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,480
I have to say I lived
vicariously through you through

514
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,960
all of your photos and videos.
It looked like you had the most

515
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,160
amazing time there.
It's just.

516
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,800
Beautiful.
It's altered my brain chemistry.

517
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,240
I need.
I feel like I know, Dave, you've

518
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,600
had like something about Ireland
with you, right As like.

519
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:15,160
Yeah, yeah, yes, I I might feel
at home when I'm in Ireland and

520
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,640
I can't explain it.
It is very, it feels very

521
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,160
spiritual, but I feel at home
when I'm in Ireland.

522
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,360
So I'm guessing you're saying
you felt really at home in

523
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:27,960
Brighton?
I really did.

524
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,920
I really did.
I've spent a lot of time in New

525
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,960
York City and Brooklyn things
and thought wonderful, you know,

526
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,920
thought I liked it there a lot
or I thought, oh man, if I was

527
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,160
younger Brooklyn, I'd be there
or whatever.

528
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,400
This was different and being on
the water.

529
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:48,200
I know they say it's like a
neuro divergent thing to like be

530
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,920
near water, be soothing and
calming.

531
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,240
I think it's a people thing.
I don't know that it's a neuro

532
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,440
divergent thing but could be I'm
a little.

533
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Different.
No, it's not.

534
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,160
I think it's just a human
soothing, calming thing, right

535
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,160
to see.
The.

536
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,440
Water and to see it every
morning out your window.

537
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,280
I could sit there for hours and
just look.

538
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,280
And I noticed that because of
where we were situated in our

539
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,680
flat, even if it was cold and
windy and miserable out, like

540
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,000
there was a one or two days
where it was almost like a

541
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,280
hurricane out there.
People were still, even if

542
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,680
they're bundled with a rain with
rain gear, sitting on that

543
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,040
beach, just looking out at the
water because there's just

544
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,560
something about it.
And just walking the

545
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,880
neighborhood in the morning and
getting coffee and going to the

546
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:43,000
coffee shop and the lady at the
counter remembers what you order

547
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,720
every day.
And they're sitting down with a

548
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:49,920
newspaper and their their real
cup and having their cappuccino.

549
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,640
And it was almost like back in
time, sort of.

550
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,840
And that's why I think my
daughter loved it so much as

551
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,720
well.
It's because it's, it felt

552
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:07,000
cozier and more old fashioned Y
and just people were just, I

553
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:11,440
know it has a reputation of like
crazy stuff too, but I just, I

554
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,240
adored it.
And I just love the fact that

555
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,080
after a day or two, we knew
exactly how to get around.

556
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,560
The the transportation in
England as a whole is amazing.

557
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,880
Getting around, there's like
barely a learning curve.

558
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:26,160
We walked most of the time, but
we also took trains and buses

559
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,000
without any issue.
They were always available.

560
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,800
Yeah.
I, I can't wait to go back at

561
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:34,040
Angie.
I feel like we need a girls trip

562
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,760
back there.
I think we need to make that

563
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,840
happen.
You know what?

564
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:41,880
Put that right at the top of my
bucket list.

565
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,680
That would be amazing.
Absolutely amazing.

566
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,440
I'm trying to think of ways to
start like honestly, I'm not

567
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,560
even joking.
Like make some extra income to

568
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,560
put aside for, for these kinds
of things because I, I, it's

569
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:56,920
like not a want, it's a need.
I need to go back.

570
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:02,560
For me, the closest sort of
place to Brighton in England

571
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,920
would be Camden Town.
I don't know whether you weren't

572
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,680
there when you were in London.
I wanted to go to Camden Market.

573
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,520
Yeah, yeah.
The whole Camden Town, it's

574
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,000
very, very much like Brighton,
the whole vibe, but not by the

575
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,640
sea.
OK, right.

576
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:26,480
So that's probably the closest.
I mean, I'm sure there's parts

577
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:31,560
up north that people will argue
with, but yeah, Brighton it's

578
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,920
quite and plus because of the
the.

579
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,840
Heat.
The unexpected heat, the fact

580
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,000
that you're on the sea.
We had all the windows open,

581
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,880
wide open and the breeze just
blowing through was so awesome.

582
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:46,640
Like, that's how I'd like to
live.

583
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,600
Not with air conditioners and
closed up, you know, just be

584
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,240
able to have the the breeze blow
through when it gets hot.

585
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,320
There's nothing better tell you.
Oh my God.

586
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:03,480
Yeah, we've, we've stayed in
hotel probably half a mile away

587
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,440
from where you were on the sea
front.

588
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:10,760
In fact, it was pretty much
opposite the West Pier and it

589
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:14,600
was November or something like
that and it was absolutely

590
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,840
blowing a huli so.
We it was a what?

591
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,320
Blowing a huli.
Explain like.

592
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,239
A hurricane, Hurricane.
Winds.

593
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,960
Yeah, just really windy, fierce,
blustery.

594
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,199
Yeah.
Blustery.

595
00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:33,679
Yeah, Yeah.
And we donned our woolly hats,

596
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:42,159
put on our coats and just went
out beanies and just went out on

597
00:34:42,159 --> 00:34:44,480
to the West Pier.
It was about 8:00 at night,

598
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,360
pitch black, Absolutely
Fabulous.

599
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,120
There's something.
It's the sea air, isn't it?

600
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,000
And it wasn't like I, you know,
I go to the Jersey Shore all the

601
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,640
time.
It wasn't like seaweed, gross

602
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,680
sea air.
I'm sorry, New Jersey, but I

603
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,800
feel like, yeah, but when as you
get down the shore and you have

604
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,320
your windows down, it's like
more like a seaweed kind of

605
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,080
smell.
And I don't detect you don't

606
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,160
have that in Brighton.
It's just fresh I feel like.

607
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,760
Yeah, I'm sure they do after
about 3 or 4 days of hot

608
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:24,080
sunshine and not such a high
tide, but there's something

609
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,000
about that seaweed smell as
well.

610
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:30,200
So, Leslie, did you have any
seagull encounters while you

611
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,280
were there?
No, but right.

612
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:38,160
Across from us, we went to like
a little like seaside little

613
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,840
shack for lunch and we were
under an umbrella and I guess

614
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,000
that helped.
We were OK.

615
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,200
But across from us is a a mom
and her daughter.

616
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,880
And they were both, you know,
the daughter was adult and they

617
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,800
were having lunch and a seagull
came by and snatched something

618
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,480
from her, the daughter's plate.
And she like never recovered.

619
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:05,600
She was so like shaken up that
and flustered.

620
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,120
Even her mom, who was like an
older woman was like just

621
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:12,000
laughing and fine with it.
But this, the daughter was so

622
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,720
like shake, as I said, shaken up
that they kind of just quickly

623
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:21,520
paid and, you know, got left.
But yeah, that was a close that

624
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,720
was close by.
They were, they do, you know,

625
00:36:23,720 --> 00:36:28,400
dive down all around you and are
nervy like that.

626
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,040
But yeah, when I met Dave for
lunch, he didn't want to sit.

627
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,320
No, no, no, no.
Should we sit outside?

628
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,720
Nope.
Nobody's having my pizza.

629
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,120
That was so good, that pizza.
That really was good, the good

630
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:50,280
lady and and Lily, she, she's
like, we're eating there again,

631
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,920
right.
So we've all agreed that.

632
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,080
Yeah.
Fatto Amano or something like.

633
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,000
Batman is it?
Yeah, yeah.

634
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,680
Fatto Amano, fatto mano.
It was like wood fired or

635
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,960
coal-fired or something.
Wood fired stone.

636
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,360
Put that on the list for next
time.

637
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,760
Wow.
Definitely, that's good.

638
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,880
Definitely if I'm allowed to
join you on your girls weekend

639
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,920
or whatever.
Yeah, of.

640
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:17,720
Course.
Well, of course.

641
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,000
I guess the last thing I want to
bring up to wrap this up is Dead

642
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:27,440
Wack Social.
Dave and I took a walk over

643
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:31,320
there and we're a bit sad
because not only did they

644
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,800
repaint the outside, but they've
changed up the inside.

645
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,520
And Dead Wack Social for those
that don't know is where they

646
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,840
filmed the concrete music video
and where they did the teaser

647
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,200
for I'll Look Good When I'm
Sober when they're Sitting.

648
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,400
Sitting inside the.
Word vinyl behind them on the

649
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,000
wall.
Yeah, that's gone.

650
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,720
Yeah, I was gutted, to be
honest.

651
00:37:53,720 --> 00:37:57,240
I know last time I went down
there, you know, I said, oh,

652
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,640
they've painted the outside, but
I never popped in.

653
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,120
We both popped in and it's just
completely changed.

654
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:06,840
You would never know it looked
like that in the past.

655
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,440
It wasn't like a mate, I don't
want to put them down, but you

656
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,720
know, as fans we wanted to see
what we remember from those

657
00:38:13,720 --> 00:38:17,640
things and this changed.
This was disappointing and they

658
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,280
seemed very happy with the
changes.

659
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:23,680
But yes, I know the bar where he
reached over and pours himself a

660
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:26,320
beer though, that was the same
in front.

661
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:31,080
So yeah, I made sure to get that
in pictures because that we

662
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,720
could match that up.
That sounds sacrilegious.

663
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:36,320
Like you don't mess with that,
right?

664
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:39,840
Well, I'm very fortunate to have
gone in there.

665
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:46,120
I think it was last year before
the change and I went in there

666
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,600
on my own and just sat and had a
pint and just took it in.

667
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,200
It was quite quiet in there.
It was around lunchtime.

668
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,280
It was just a little bit sort of
special and it's just a shame

669
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,920
that we weren't able to perhaps
go in and sit and look.

670
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:05,160
Mm hmm.
Right.

671
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:09,720
But, you know, it may be another
plaque on the outside the

672
00:39:09,720 --> 00:39:12,760
building one day and they'll
have to restore it back to that

673
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:18,480
original look, you know, so fans
can come in and take their

674
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,000
picture there.
Dave, don't you have that

675
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:26,960
immortalized in Lego format?
Yes, yes, just that little

676
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,440
scene.
Yeah, That vinyl wool, Yeah.

677
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:31,360
Yeah, and we didn't get to go to
the.

678
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,200
I forgot to go to the
laundromat.

679
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,960
The laundromat is in Bristol.
Oh, OK, then that wasn't going

680
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,720
to happen.
Hence one of the boys posted it

681
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:46,200
just after they'd finished in
Bristol.

682
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:49,080
I think that wraps up that I
could talk about England for

683
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,920
days, of course, but I won't.
Today we have with us a special

684
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,200
guest, Tyler Catastrophe, or as
I like to call him, Tyler, The

685
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,440
Creator.
From TikTok, Instagram, you may

686
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:07,640
know him as talented artist
who's been creating jewelry and

687
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:12,800
art to sell online as a way to
raise money to move from Texas

688
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,400
to Brighton.
And that is a venture I can get

689
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,600
behind.
So Tyler, thanks for coming to

690
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:20,120
the show today and for talking
to us not just about that.

691
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,160
The real reason we have you here
is because of Summerfest.

692
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,720
And we understand you
unexpectedly were able to attend

693
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:28,760
Summerfest.
Can you tell us more about how

694
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,560
that went down?
It was insane.

695
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,400
First of all, I don't think it's
the sort of thing that anyone

696
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:39,320
could have expected because me
and my roommate will sometimes

697
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,440
just tag each other in random
Instagram giveaways for fun

698
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,280
because you never think you're
going to win.

699
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:49,600
But like what if?
And so Summerfest was Thursday,

700
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,720
Friday, Saturday, Monday
afternoon.

701
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:56,320
I get Adm saying I've won
tickets and front row passes to

702
00:40:56,320 --> 00:41:00,880
see Lovejoy and my roommate was
working in the other room on a

703
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,400
call and I was like, do I wait
to tell you?

704
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:04,720
Do I tell you?
Now?

705
00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,880
I think if I wait I'll die.
So I knock.

706
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,920
I wait patiently for about a
minute while they're on a call

707
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,920
and I show them and we freak
out.

708
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,000
They're slapping their desk.
It's great.

709
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,000
And I leave the room and then I
hear them almost scream and I go

710
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,480
back to see what's wrong.
They have also won tickets from

711
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:29,200
the same giveaway separately.
So now we had four tickets, 4 GA

712
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,840
passes and four front row
passes.

713
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,440
Z Lovejoy.
And so we're like, right, right.

714
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,520
That's not the thing that
happens.

715
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,040
And so we are like, it's a sign,
it's a sign, it's a sign.

716
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:46,320
We have to go.
And because I've also been

717
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:50,080
putting money aside from my
business and the goal to move to

718
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,800
England, I had a little bit of
money left side.

719
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,920
I could afford the tickets, he
could afford the tickets.

720
00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:00,000
So we got a last minute flight,
we got a last minute hotel.

721
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:03,560
We booked the tickets Monday
afternoon and we're on a plane

722
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:07,160
by like I think we were at the
airport at 4:00 AM Tuesday

723
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,000
morning.
So when I say last minute, it

724
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,880
was extremely last minute, yeah,
but so worth it.

725
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,960
It was insane and so much fun.
Who did the giveaway?

726
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:21,360
Who gave the tickets away?
It was bars and rec in

727
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,480
Milwaukee.
They were within walking

728
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:25,480
distance from the festival
grounds, so it was pretty cool.

729
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:26,080
Oh.
Nice.

730
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,080
I think I followed them because
I saw they were involved in the

731
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:29,560
whole thing.
I.

732
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:33,440
Think I think I actually found
that post because you were

733
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:40,080
posted on your story.
So thank you Circle moments.

734
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:45,520
That's really good to hear.
It's amazing that this really is

735
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,720
good to hear Tyler have.
You you're doing good work.

736
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:50,880
Thank you so much.
Live joy before or love joy or

737
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:53,280
live joy?
I have not.

738
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,800
This is so the only time they've
ever played Dallas or anywhere

739
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:01,880
near me was a couple years ago
they played the Granada.

740
00:43:02,200 --> 00:43:05,800
And for reference, I have never
not been able to get tickets at

741
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,360
the Granada.
I went and saw Ale Storm, which

742
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,600
is like a pirate metal band of
the day after bought tickets day

743
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,840
of.
It's so easy.

744
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:16,520
They were the only sold out show
on the calendar for months and

745
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,120
months and months.
And so I didn't get to go.

746
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:23,520
And so this felt like a little
bit of divine repayment maybe I

747
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,920
don't know.
But so this is my first time

748
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:27,200
seeing them and it was
wonderful.

749
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Awesome.
What was the what was the most

750
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,400
like exciting song to hear or do
you have one that was like?

751
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,400
I, I love them all, I'm going to
be honest, but The Fall Live

752
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,960
just gets me.
I love a good bridge and that

753
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,680
song has a wonderful bridge.
Yes, I was going to say the

754
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:45,960
fall.
That's always the highlight to

755
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,200
me.
It's so good.

756
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,160
I understand why they save it
for last, but man do I wish

757
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,000
they'd play it several times in
a row.

758
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:56,040
Right, we repeat players, I mean
their music over and over all

759
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,200
the time, so they should.
Know that.

760
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,880
Read our minds, please.
It's what we want.

761
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,560
When we say encore, we mean like
that song again.

762
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:11,960
Yes, exactly.
So was there any other special

763
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:17,040
moments within the gig that you
were like hearing Rob, you know?

764
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,280
Second time.
Played live.

765
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,560
That one was good.
I was really excited that they

766
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,280
played Perfect Blue, the new
song that hasn't been like

767
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,360
teased at all yet.
That was a surprise do.

768
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:33,760
You like it?
So much so so so so much I there

769
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,720
are there are no words.
I am very rarely rendered

770
00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:39,440
speechless.
But I'm so glad that my roommate

771
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,200
recorded the entire set for me
because otherwise I would be

772
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,040
completely lost.
Like a blur, right?

773
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,400
Right, exactly.
I'm two in the moment sometimes,

774
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,240
so I had to like go back through
the videos and.

775
00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,480
Like these are.
These are great.

776
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,920
I got to see the Warsaw Wiggle
live.

777
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:03,040
That's crazy.
And the.

778
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:06,400
Portrait Portrait doing all the
hand moves.

779
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,400
Gosh, yes, I love Portrait of a
Blank Slate.

780
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:15,320
I've covered it several times,
but it's it's just I can't say

781
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:16,360
words.
I'm too.

782
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:19,880
I'm too happy about it.
I know it's like your face hurts

783
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,280
from smiling the whole time.
Exactly.

784
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,880
Exactly.
It's a workout.

785
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,280
Aw, Oh, he was.
It was adorable.

786
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,320
You just showed it off.
What did you think of the how is

787
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,440
the crowd that you were by?
Like how is the the vibe, the

788
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,560
people?
It was honestly pretty good.

789
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,760
I was a little worried about it
and just cause I mean, obviously

790
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:49,560
there's always that worry in the
back of your head, but I feel

791
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,080
like everyone, the hit was like
split up. 1/2 was the people who

792
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,640
had won tickets and the other
half was the people who had

793
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,120
paid.
And so the people who had paid

794
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:02,520
was a much larger crowd because
I guess they stopped giving out

795
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,600
tickets at some point for like
the winners.

796
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:11,240
So your side was very loud and
very energetic, very much in it.

797
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,360
And my side, I think, was a lot
of people who wanted to be

798
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:17,400
there, but also a lot of people
who are just there because they

799
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,120
had the tickets.
And that's part of what it is

800
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:22,680
too, right?
At a festivals like you always

801
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,280
hope that people will get to see
them that haven't seen them

802
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,560
before and come away being like
these guys are awesome.

803
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,720
Exactly, Yeah.
Yes, that was so nice of you.

804
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:36,440
And I, I offered you my extra
front row tickets and I'm glad

805
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,440
that you didn't need them
because we were both kind of on

806
00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,160
the same place.
But I ended up giving them to a

807
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,600
couple of like, random people.
And they're like, I'm really

808
00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,400
glad you did that.
I really love this band.

809
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:47,400
And I'm like, yeah, mission
accomplished.

810
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,720
That's awesome.
What a great line.

811
00:46:51,720 --> 00:46:58,560
So from Leslie posting from you,
to picking up that post, to

812
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:05,040
winning tickets, to giving 2
tickets away and creating new

813
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:08,800
fans.
Fabulous.

814
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:13,000
That's just really, I don't,
that's just kind of the person I

815
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,440
am really.
I like creating connections and

816
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,360
like, not like, what's the word
I'm looking for?

817
00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:23,800
I just like putting people where
I think they'd like to be in

818
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,880
like the nicest way possible.
But it's fun for me.

819
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,280
I, I like people.
I'm a very big people person.

820
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,280
That's nice it comes across you,
comes across like Angie said it.

821
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:38,640
Thank you.
Ray of sunshine or something, we

822
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,760
were chatting about it, this,
you know, recording today and

823
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,640
just so looking forward to it.
Yeah, your posts just give off

824
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:47,480
that happy energy.
And you know, on social media,

825
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:51,280
as we all know, it's not always
that way, so it's nice to have a

826
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:54,280
glimmer of light.
That is definitely my goal.

827
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,000
Did they look like you imagined
in real life?

828
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,760
Oh.
Gosh, that's a good question.

829
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,480
So I saw Mark first because he
was kind of hanging out behind

830
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,520
the scenes, a wall.
I don't know how, but they found

831
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,920
me was playing and I noticed him
and I waved and he waved back

832
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,680
and he got like really excited
to wave back at me.

833
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,000
I was like, oh, hi.
I was like, hi, you're just as

834
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:19,280
excited as I am.
Wow, definitely looks it.

835
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,400
I actually have.
He gave his setlist to my

836
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,400
roommate and my roommate gave it
to me, so I'm really happy about

837
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,240
that.
I love it.

838
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,720
Nice.
But when they actually got out

839
00:48:29,720 --> 00:48:34,360
onto the stage, I was like, man,
the camera does not do anything

840
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:39,280
justice, ever.
And of course, I was like, I was

841
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:43,680
like, right in front of Will.
And so it's just hard eyes the

842
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:49,400
whole time, but you see all of
them moving, like, individually

843
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:53,200
and the way that they sort of
gravitate around each other.

844
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,280
You're just like, man, you know
what you're doing.

845
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,560
And I love that for you.
You have found your groove, and

846
00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:03,560
you're just finding a better one
as you go through the entire

847
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:04,440
setlist.
I'm just.

848
00:49:05,720 --> 00:49:06,080
Wow.
Yeah.

849
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,320
I love watching them interact
just, you know, like look at

850
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,360
each other and like they can
communicate, you know, just

851
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,960
looking at each other and.
Joe with his.

852
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,800
Beer.
Did he have his beer next to him

853
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:20,080
like he usually does?
Honestly, I don't think I could

854
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,000
see his feet.
I don't think I could see.

855
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,680
I think there was like APA like
right in front of.

856
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,800
Oh, I see.
Yeah, an amp or something.

857
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,560
So is will your favorite?
I don't like choosing favorites,

858
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,440
but my roommate would tell you
yes that's.

859
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:41,480
A horrible question, isn't it?
I mean to be fair, like I love

860
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:43,680
them all.
I think they operate as a unit

861
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,800
beautifully.
There is no Lovejoy without any

862
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:50,480
of them.
But to be fair, I was a fan of

863
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:55,880
Will like long before I think I
found him in like 2019 from SNP

864
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:59,960
Live.
So like there is a little bit of

865
00:49:59,960 --> 00:50:03,120
a bias there.
But again, I love them all

866
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:06,640
together.
I love Lovejoy as a whole and

867
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:08,840
individually, but yeah, Will's
pretty great.

868
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:13,080
Oh, he is.
Ash is the hottest, come on.

869
00:50:13,720 --> 00:50:16,800
Ash is wonderful.
I think she's great.

870
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,800
Skin.
Yeah, that's what Dave likes to.

871
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:26,080
Talk about his skin care, yes?
I met him in Brighton and we had

872
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:28,840
a chat.
In case you hadn't heard that,

873
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:29,920
In case you.
Didn't know.

874
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,400
OK.
And I'm stood there and I'm

875
00:50:33,400 --> 00:50:40,240
thinking, my God, Ash, you've
got lovely skin and I so wanted

876
00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:42,840
to ask him.
Yeah, you got to ask him.

877
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:44,120
You got it.
Next time.

878
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:47,960
Next time.
That's the first question.

879
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,200
That's the, I mean, he told me a
lot of stuff.

880
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,240
But you know, the first question
next time is.

881
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,160
What is your skin care routine?
Yeah.

882
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:02,400
Oh my goodness.
Good for him, honestly.

883
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:06,160
He's a cool dude though man,
he's got that look.

884
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,360
He just he.
Just he looks like a bass player

885
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,120
and I love that.
Yeah.

886
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:17,000
He's so rock star.
My roommate Andy was like, man,

887
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,520
he wore shades at night.
I was like, I'm pretty sure

888
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,560
there's the reason for that, but
he also looks cool doing it so

889
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:26,240
it's fine.
I know and we, we saw him in

890
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:27,440
Brooklyn.
He, I don't know if he still

891
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:28,960
does it.
He had like a star, like,

892
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,520
sticker on his face or
something.

893
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,240
A Black Star?
Yeah.

894
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,920
I wish I could get away with
just putting stickers on my face

895
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:38,000
in real life.
Just walk through a Walmart.

896
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,080
I mean, if you're in.
A Walmart you probably could.

897
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,520
Honestly, probably, especially
in this small town.

898
00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,960
And actually going to Brighton,
you all you know, no holds

899
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,960
barred.
Oh for sure, once I'm in

900
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,120
Brighton, I'm living my best
life.

901
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,480
I do not care.
But we can't wait to see that.

902
00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:00,160
When are you hoping to get to
Brighton?

903
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,000
In a perfect world, it would be
by the end of the year.

904
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,800
Right now I'm about halfway to
the financial side of the goal,

905
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:10,880
and once I know I can afford it,
I'll be able to do all like the

906
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:15,480
nitty gritty to figure out when
it's actually possible because I

907
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,120
do like qualify for a specific
visa.

908
00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:24,520
I've got the vague details
ironed, but hopefully, hopefully

909
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:27,360
by the end of the year, I don't
want to be here anymore.

910
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:32,040
I feel you man.
Texas is not for me.

911
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:37,080
Brighton looks like such a just
like a really cool like fun

912
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:41,800
colorful like viby city.
I feel like you would fit in

913
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,320
there perfectly Tyler like watch
out Brighton.

914
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,560
Here comes Tyler catastrophe.
Thank you are.

915
00:52:47,680 --> 00:52:51,560
They ready for you.
I hope so I I will prepare them

916
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:58,200
as much as I'm possibly it can.
I don't know, like I, I was

917
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,880
originally supposed to move to
England a couple years ago.

918
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,800
I was supposed to move to
Bournemouth, which is also on

919
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,440
the South Coast, but then the
job I was supposed to take fell

920
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,440
through at the very last minute
and so kind of a tailspin.

921
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:14,360
So for the past couple years
it's been getting my feedback

922
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,520
under me and then figuring out a
new plan.

923
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,920
And so I was like, man, I don't
have to move to Bournemouth.

924
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,160
I can look at other places and
so I am a huge like Brighton

925
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,480
Hove Albion fan.
The football club love the

926
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,160
Seagulls so, so, so, so much.
I love them so much.

927
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:32,680
I used to like you.
Ouch.

928
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:41,920
I'm a Southampton fan.
Oh, maybe if you stay in the

929
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:48,960
Premier League you'd be fine.
I regretted that immediately.

930
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,240
There's going to be a smackdown
on this bucket.

931
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,920
Yeah, Angie and I are like, I
don't know what they're talking

932
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,640
about, but this is fun.
At least you're not.

933
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,560
Chelsea, it's fine.
I mean, first of all, you

934
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:05,560
mentioned I was going to move to
Bournemouth.

935
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:08,920
Really.
That's only 30 miles away from

936
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,120
me.
So you taught me with

937
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:14,040
Bournemouth and you taught me
with Brighton and the Premier

938
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,040
League.
Dear, Oh dear, I'm so sorry.

939
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:23,960
I'm so sorry.
I'm only 60 miles away from

940
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,680
Brighton.
I'm watching you train.

941
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,840
Right away.
I'm from Texas.

942
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,960
I know how to keep the eyes in
the back of my head.

943
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,480
I'm not from Texas, but you
know.

944
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,760
Yeah, yeah.
Don't, don't mess with Texas.

945
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,760
It's not the eyes in the back of
your head you want to watch out

946
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:48,640
for.
Oh my gosh, what the hell.

947
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:55,120
Dave's having fun today.
I love y'all, this is fun.

948
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,280
So how did you get started
making jewelry?

949
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,520
And you do painting too, right?
Like.

950
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,480
I do, yes.
I painted this thing behind me.

951
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:06,880
That's beautiful.
Yankee.

952
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:10,360
I worked on it for like a year
and the border is all made out

953
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,120
of beads.
Oh.

954
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,960
But so I originally was taught
how to make little like

955
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,120
bracelets here and there by a
girlfriend I had in high school.

956
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:25,520
She's wonderful.
But I was always a musician.

957
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,600
Music was always my really only
goal in life.

958
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:30,960
And I wish it was a better
story.

959
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:34,280
But unfortunately, like about
six years ago, I was hit by a

960
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:39,920
car.
And so the, IT was kind of the

961
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:44,200
perfect scenario to have me make
it out a lot, but it completely

962
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:46,680
totaled my rib cage for a very
long time.

963
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,480
And so I was no longer able to
sing.

964
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:50,800
I wasn't able to play the
trumpet.

965
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,240
I wasn't able to do the things
that I had built my entire life

966
00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:56,000
around.
I ended up having to drop out of

967
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:58,840
college because I lost my
financial aid and all the stuff.

968
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:02,680
And the only thing I could do
without causing myself even more

969
00:56:02,680 --> 00:56:07,000
pain was move my hands.
And so just to keep myself sane,

970
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,800
I started making even more
bracelets and then I got sick of

971
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,160
those and started going a
different kind of insane.

972
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:18,040
And so I branched out to other
necklaces and the chokers that

973
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:22,640
I'm kind of known for now.
And so over the past really 10

974
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:27,280
years, but mostly six years,
I've sort of built it into this

975
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:31,920
thing that is now what I'm known
for essentially and is funding

976
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,240
basically my entire life because
it is like my full time job now.

977
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:40,000
But it has been quite the road,
especially because now a lot of

978
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,840
the patterns I use and the
designs I make are fully me or

979
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,680
like heavily altered from
patterns I found online here and

980
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:53,120
there.
But it's been crazy.

981
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:56,520
I did not think that this is
where I was going to end up when

982
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,600
I started.
I know you have a huge following

983
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,560
on TikTok.
I saw 41. 1000.

984
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:06,120
Followers, I think. 41,000 Yeah,
I'm pretty sure.

985
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:09,480
That's insane.
And you know, my daughter and I

986
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,560
were looking at were looking in
your shop the other night and

987
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,360
she was just like, my gosh.
Like you're.

988
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:18,880
You're a rubber ducky choker and
you're stars.

989
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,080
And moons.
Choker and the Lily of the

990
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,480
valley, they're just, they're
beautiful.

991
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:30,080
How wonderful selections, I
really like them.

992
00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,480
The first choker I ever made was
actually a Sunflower 1 and I

993
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,320
gave it to one of my best
friends who is now the mother of

994
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,120
my godchildren.
And so after that I started

995
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,000
branching out mostly with the
mushrooms at 1st.

996
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:49,920
And so now that I've got like
over 50 other options ingested

997
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,640
chokers.
And so I can't stop thinking of

998
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:56,600
new things to make, which I
think is mostly my issue, but

999
00:57:56,600 --> 00:57:59,800
it's been, it's been super,
super, super rewarding just to

1000
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,080
see which ones people like the
most and see which different

1001
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,320
kinds of people like different
kinds of things.

1002
00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:10,000
I love people.
And so using it as a way to

1003
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:14,400
interact with people even from
like behind the screen is super

1004
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:15,200
fun for me.
Yeah.

1005
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,280
I bet.
So like give us a plug here.

1006
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,840
Where can we find you on TikTok?
Where could we find your shop?

1007
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,160
But wherever.
But my Instagram is Tyler

1008
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:30,320
Catastrophe.
Same with Blue Sky.

1009
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,520
Instagram is the only place
where I don't have that handle,

1010
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:37,360
so it's letter I letter X.
So I'm Tyler Catastrophe because

1011
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:39,920
one guy has it.
I have no idea if he's even

1012
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,240
active anymore.
I messaged him one time asking

1013
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,000
if he would give it to me.
He never responded, so it's

1014
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:47,560
five.
That was kind of a weird thing

1015
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:52,120
anyway, but I sell through
coffee.

1016
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:54,840
KOFII.
Also have a print shop through

1017
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,160
Threadless.
I'm everywhere.

1018
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,200
Nice, I get that.
I am too or I try to be.

1019
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,440
She even brought she even turns
up in Brighton.

1020
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,760
Yeah.
A wonderful place.

1021
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,960
Brighton is very, very
cosmopolitan.

1022
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:21,480
Anything goes, everything goes.
It's so fantastic, really is.

1023
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:25,120
I've been told by several people
that it's the gay capital of

1024
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:31,120
Europe and I love that for me.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not being

1025
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:35,800
offensive, but we went down
there for Pride and it was

1026
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,120
bearing in mind I'm a married
man and I'm straight.

1027
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:44,240
But we went down there for Pride
and it was spot the straight

1028
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:47,400
people.
But it's so much fun.

1029
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,920
So much fun it was.
A mermaid parade last weekend.

1030
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:54,960
Did the mermaids learn how to
walk?

1031
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,760
Was it in the ocean?
We saw some walking mermaids.

1032
00:59:59,280 --> 01:00:02,320
Were you on a boat?
We actually missed the parade,

1033
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,920
unfortunately.
We saw some mermaids after the

1034
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:07,760
fact.
Yeah, yeah.

1035
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:08,360
Oh.
Gosh.

1036
01:00:09,800 --> 01:00:11,760
They were floundering across the
road.

1037
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,640
Flip flopping.
Around dad joke.

1038
01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,040
It's funny.
I mean adjacent topic.

1039
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:22,560
I saw somewhere that in the Rob
video, there's this little like

1040
01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:29,240
Easter egg where there's a radio
station sign in it, and if you

1041
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,960
actually look up the radio
station, it's like, it's like

1042
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:37,000
Brighton's gay radio, blah blah
blah, which I thought was

1043
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:37,800
fantastic.
Yes.

1044
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,040
Yes.
I didn't notice that I was not

1045
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,520
paying attention.
Yes, I need to look at the

1046
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,520
scenery.
Yes.

1047
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:49,840
So yeah, like, super cool.
We got to make sure they're

1048
01:00:49,840 --> 01:00:53,800
playing Lovejoy on that station.
Who do we need to pay?

1049
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,240
This is how Angie and I think,
all right, we got to write some

1050
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:59,000
requests.
Now get.

1051
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:02,440
It you're on top of it, this is
like a full time job for you IT.

1052
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,640
Kind of actually is.
I don't know when Leslie sleeps.

1053
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,480
I don't think she sleeps.
I think she's a vampire and

1054
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,680
doesn't need sleep.
Hey, people are allowed to have

1055
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,200
secrets.
Bear bearing in mind I'm six

1056
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:20,360
hours ahead of you time, right?
So and Angie's on the same time

1057
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:25,800
timeline.
I've gone to bed at say 10:00 PM

1058
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:28,360
my time.
I've woken up at 6:00 PM at 6:00

1059
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,200
AM and they're still chatting
and I'm like.

1060
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,360
Oops.
I've slept and then I get up and

1061
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:39,760
it's like good morning,
goodnight.

1062
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:41,960
That's it.
Yeah.

1063
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,200
And then I have to wait 5 or 6
hours to answer.

1064
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,200
I need to.
Catch catch up on all the crap

1065
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:51,560
we've been yapping about.
But Leslie, for some reason, she

1066
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,760
doesn't.
I never reply because I know

1067
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:55,640
she'll answer.
So.

1068
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:58,800
It doesn't matter what time of
the.

1069
01:01:59,000 --> 01:01:59,880
Day.
No it doesn't.

1070
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:06,680
It doesn't.
I could message 9:00 AM, which

1071
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:11,240
is say 4:00 AM her time.
She'll answer and I'm like, what

1072
01:02:11,240 --> 01:02:15,640
the hell are you doing up?
Oh, my phone went off.

1073
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,640
OK.
Note to oneself, never do that

1074
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,800
again.
No, it's never my phone going

1075
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:21,680
off.
My phone is quiet all the time.

1076
01:02:22,200 --> 01:02:26,000
It's my brain goes off.
You just get a like a Spidey

1077
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:31,080
sense like I need to check out.
I have like 280 LB dogs and

1078
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,520
three cats in the bed with me
and a husband half the time.

1079
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:36,680
So sometimes you wake up in the
middle of the night and you're

1080
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,960
like, let me just see you if I'm
missing anything.

1081
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:43,400
Grind never stops for you, does
it?

1082
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:45,640
It never stops.
The Lovejoy grind never stops

1083
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,000
for Leslie.
She is just on it.

1084
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,440
Always.
I guess it's a bit like gaydar.

1085
01:02:57,280 --> 01:02:58,920
OK, Dave, you're going to.
Have to explain this.

1086
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,520
One tell us.
All right, Dave, he doesn't know

1087
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,560
how to explain that one.
Oh I love being gay.

1088
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:12,600
This is hilarious.
Oh my gosh.

1089
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,920
Well.
No, but the one time it was Dave

1090
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:18,240
wrote me at like 3:00 in the
morning and said that there was

1091
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:22,640
like a merch drop on Lovejoy
online and they hadn't announced

1092
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,880
it yet, but he happened to go on
his phone while, you know, a

1093
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,160
break at work or something.
Yeah, I went on the phone.

1094
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,400
I got to.
Buy merch before everybody else.

1095
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,880
Because then I posted it that
they was like surprise merch on

1096
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:38,280
the website before Lovejoy even
did.

1097
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:39,680
Sorry.
Lovejoy, there's the man on the

1098
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,440
inside.
Yeah, see, he's he's always

1099
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:45,680
thinking it's Yeah, it must be
the Lovejoy.

1100
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:51,320
Oh, new phrase.
Good one, Dave.

1101
01:03:54,400 --> 01:04:03,760
Oh.
I'm going to have to sit sit and

1102
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:07,080
explain Gaydar to her for the
next 4 hours.

1103
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,400
Sure, sure.
Just you're stunk at it.

1104
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,080
Well, it's been great having you
on the show today.

1105
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:23,200
And.
We look forward.

1106
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:25,680
To speaking to you again.
Definitely.

1107
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,680
Absolutely other things, but
yes.

1108
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:33,040
I'd be honored.
Thank you for having me, this is

1109
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,640
so much fun.
Thank you for coming.

1110
01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:37,240
You're a delight.
Thank you.

1111
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,080
Quick question, will you see
Lovejoy again?

1112
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:46,280
Absolutely, I will find a way.
That was too much fun to not

1113
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:48,520
repeat myself.
It doesn't get old.

1114
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:49,800
Excellent.
Never.

1115
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:52,320
Clearly, I mean, obviously
they're going to be putting out

1116
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,720
new songs, so it's not like it's
going to be the same show every

1117
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,480
time.
And even if it was, I'd still

1118
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,200
go.
Yeah, doesn't stop Angie and I.

1119
01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,520
No, no.
Two nights in a row in Brooklyn.

1120
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,360
Yeah.
I hope that we run into you at a

1121
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:11,240
show and I get to talk to you
more than like 2 minutes across.

1122
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:14,680
You know the pit, but you know,
if you ever find yourself coming

1123
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,880
back to Cheese Land, I would, I
would love to hang out with you.

1124
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:20,360
Absolutely.
We shall see.

1125
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,240
I actually really enjoyed
Milwaukee so I will probably

1126
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,320
return at some point.
I enjoyed your posts about it.

1127
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:31,800
Thank you, I don't usually post
on my story that much but I was

1128
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:35,800
having too much fun.
Brighton's better than

1129
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,800
Milwaukee.
Oh, I can.

1130
01:05:37,800 --> 01:05:40,640
I can almost guarantee it.
I haven't been there yet, but I

1131
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:44,360
shall.
I would.

1132
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:49,360
It will happen.
Well, thank you so much, Tyler.

1133
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,520
We really appreciate it.
Thanks for taking time out of

1134
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:55,200
your day to chat with us and.
Of course, Dave talk.

1135
01:05:55,200 --> 01:06:01,320
About gaydar and whatever.
Else, I'm sorry for insulting

1136
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,160
Southampton.
I'm sure they're great when

1137
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,800
they're not playing Brighton.
See you then.

1138
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:15,080
Bye.
Oh man I love y'all, thank you

1139
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:19,400
so much.
Oh that was so great having

1140
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,760
Tyler on.
I can't wait to have him back on

1141
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,640
for a future episode.
Absolutely brilliant guy.

1142
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:29,560
Fabulous, fabulous.
Yes, I'm looking forward to

1143
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,600
having him back.
So yes, thank you, Tyler.

1144
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:37,480
And now I guess we should get
into the other exciting part

1145
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,120
about Summerfest.
Before they headlined the Miller

1146
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:45,720
Lite Oasis stage, Love Joe was
invited to perform at a bar that

1147
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:48,560
afternoon and performed an
acoustic set for a very

1148
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:51,960
exclusive audience.
And we even know a few people

1149
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,040
that were able to go and be in
attendance.

1150
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,000
Yeah, we had two friends that
were lucky enough to win

1151
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,320
tickets.
FM One O 21, the local alt rock

1152
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,480
radio station in Milwaukee
hosted the acoustic set.

1153
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:09,400
You had to win tickets through
them.

1154
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,640
So like Leslie said, we had two
friends that were in attendance

1155
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,560
and one of them was kind enough
to shoot some video for us.

1156
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:20,360
So I believe that we will have a
link to that video in the show

1157
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:24,360
notes once this releases.
From what I'm told, there was

1158
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,840
only maybe 50 people or so in
attendance.

1159
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,680
I was able to talk with Sarah,
one of our friends for for a

1160
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:33,480
little bit on this.
It's sounds like they played

1161
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,480
five songs.
Portrait of a blank Slate, Call

1162
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,920
Me what You like Taunt and
amazing acoustic version of with

1163
01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,240
Rob is my witness and sex cells.
They had Alan accompany them on

1164
01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:47,800
trumpet.
And I'm, I'm really jealous of

1165
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,720
anybody who was able to go to
that.

1166
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:54,720
I didn't qualify to attend, but
it looks like it was an

1167
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,360
absolutely amazing time, doesn't
it?

1168
01:07:57,000 --> 01:08:00,440
Oh my gosh, it was so cool how
like intimate of an event it

1169
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,440
was.
And I loved the little

1170
01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:06,880
interviews in between the songs
that the video hosted.

1171
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,800
I'm not going to lie, given the
choice, I'd rather be at that

1172
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,640
intimate one because that's
personal.

1173
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:16,720
Almost right, right.
You know, it's that's would have

1174
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:23,200
been pretty amazing to be at.
Our friends both mentioned that

1175
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:27,319
they, they didn't do an official
meet and greet of sorts or

1176
01:08:27,319 --> 01:08:30,120
anything, but both of our
friends mentioned that they were

1177
01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:36,080
able to at least, you know, give
a comment or two to pretty much

1178
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,279
everybody that was there.
And I know one of our friends

1179
01:08:38,279 --> 01:08:41,040
got our her picture taken with
Joe, which was really cool.

1180
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:44,120
So, and they got to talk to
Elodie for a little while who

1181
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:45,960
was there filming the entire
thing.

1182
01:08:46,399 --> 01:08:50,040
But so, yeah, it was, you know
what, I agree with you, Dave.

1183
01:08:50,399 --> 01:08:52,760
If I would have had to pick one
or the other, I think I would

1184
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,240
have had to have gone for the
acoustic gig too, even though it

1185
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:58,760
was short.
It's just it's kind of a once in

1186
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:00,680
a lifetime thing.
Absolutely, yeah.

1187
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,080
I would have loved to have been
at that.

1188
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:06,040
Did Sarah talk about what they
spoke about in between songs or

1189
01:09:06,279 --> 01:09:08,800
the experience in general?
One of the things that Sarah had

1190
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:12,560
mentioned was that they were
playing right in front of a

1191
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:14,840
shuffleboard.
I don't know if everybody was

1192
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:17,760
familiar with the shuffleboard,
but it's like some silly thing

1193
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:21,920
on the floor that, you know,
it's like a recreational game or

1194
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,160
whatnot.
And and the host mentioned

1195
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,640
something about a shuffleboard
and Will is like, what's a

1196
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:32,640
shuffleboard?
So that was kind of funny.

1197
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,399
It's cute.
And they did have a little

1198
01:09:34,399 --> 01:09:37,279
banter.
I think in in between, I think

1199
01:09:37,279 --> 01:09:40,760
there was some more tacos, you
know, cheese and cheese curds.

1200
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:42,080
But.
Right.

1201
01:09:42,399 --> 01:09:46,439
Well, I, I remember the part
where asked about the new album,

1202
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,200
how he said it was going to be
spooky.

1203
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,600
Scary, right?
Yes.

1204
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:53,240
I think that was Joe maybe that
had mentioned that the album,

1205
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,960
somebody asked him what the
album was going to be like and

1206
01:09:55,960 --> 01:10:00,520
they said scary.
So I don't know what that means.

1207
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:05,880
I think what it means is that
they should release it like on

1208
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,040
Halloween and then come back to
Milwaukee and do an album

1209
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,040
release party on Halloween.
Dave.

1210
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:12,560
Looks like he agrees with me on
that.

1211
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,440
I think New York City, it makes
more sense.

1212
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,880
Greenwich Village, they have a
really awesome Halloween parade.

1213
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,000
Oh, there we go.
Yeah, wonderful.

1214
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,400
Sounds great.
Fabulous.

1215
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:25,720
You'll be here.
Hey, just another reason to come

1216
01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:29,200
fly out by us, Dave.
Sky is the limit.

1217
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,000
Nah, just the accent puts me
off.

1218
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,000
Where was it said that he's
they're doing 11?

1219
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:36,760
Someone said they're doing 10 or
11 songs.

1220
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,720
Did you catch that are going to
be on the album?

1221
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:43,240
Yeah, I remember seeing that,
but I don't know where it came

1222
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:45,520
from.
I don't remember it was from,

1223
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:49,200
there were a few people that I
think maybe saw Mark after the

1224
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:51,720
Summerfest show.
I don't know if he said that.

1225
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,840
Possibly, maybe, but I know that
was floating around out there.

1226
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,240
There's it's I know they said
Wasted Summer was not going to

1227
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:02,200
be on the album anymore, so I'm
there must be another one or two

1228
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,440
that have been put on the back
burner as well.

1229
01:11:05,440 --> 01:11:08,080
I don't know which ones they
are, but guess we'll find out

1230
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:09,280
hopefully soon.
Shall see.

1231
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:12,200
Yeah.
All right.

1232
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:17,000
So now let's listen to Sarah's
interview with Angie.

1233
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:46,680
Did you get to have any fun?
Interactions with the band.

1234
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:52,120
I think there was a oh.
My gosh.

1235
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:56,560
They had AQ and A sessions with
the radio DJs and answer some

1236
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,280
cool questions.
That's.

1237
01:11:58,360 --> 01:11:59,880
Amazing.
Well, I'm so.

1238
01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:02,920
Glad that you had a good time
and we were here living

1239
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,400
vicariously.
Through you, there's a few

1240
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:07,400
moments.
So Ellen is here with the band,

1241
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,120
Ellen's here.
So after the set there was, you

1242
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:19,160
know, so we just kind of got a
small, I'm not really sure if

1243
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:25,600
that maybe it's like the visual
part of the album.

1244
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:27,760
Maybe, maybe it'll.
Be like a Halloween.

1245
01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:34,200
That would be cool.
So maybe they're trying to try

1246
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,320
Milwaukee.
Thank you so much.

1247
01:12:40,320 --> 01:12:42,000
I really.
Appreciate it.

1248
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,320
Thanks for getting that, Angie.
Thank you, Sarah.

1249
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,680
Yes, thank you, Sarah.
It's it was really great to talk

1250
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:56,000
with her and I apologize.
There's we did this like right

1251
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:57,600
in front of the Miller Lite
stage.

1252
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,640
So there's probably a little
background noise, but I think

1253
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,360
she just kind of reiterated what
we all all had just kind of been

1254
01:13:04,360 --> 01:13:08,240
talking about, how it was just
such an intimate and once in a

1255
01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:13,480
lifetime sort of experience.
And it sounds like they had a

1256
01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:15,760
wonderful time, so I'm happy for
them.

1257
01:13:16,440 --> 01:13:18,800
Yeah, me too.
Are you jealous?

1258
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:22,800
Yes.
Are you exactly?

1259
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:28,840
Yeah, to get to an acoustic gig
would be like, wow, really wow.

1260
01:13:29,480 --> 01:13:32,680
I'm hoping this is, I'm hoping
this is a sign that they'll do

1261
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:36,040
some more things like this in
the future because I mean, let's

1262
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,600
face it, this was a great little
promotional event for them too.

1263
01:13:39,960 --> 01:13:42,960
People that you know, had won
tickets.

1264
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:46,120
There's probably a lot of them
that didn't know who Lovejoy was

1265
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:50,320
or hadn't heard of them before.
So I mean great promo for them

1266
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,920
too.
Absolutely.

1267
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,880
Over the past month we've had
Rob released.

1268
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:00,040
Are we all still loving it?
Obviously, Angie, you've seen it

1269
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:05,760
live, but.
You'll be next.

1270
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,520
You'll be next, I'm pretty sure.
It was fantastic live.

1271
01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:12,000
Yeah.
Yeah, I've been listening to it

1272
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,040
on repeat.
Yeah, on repeat.

1273
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:20,160
I've put it on a little, a
little three song playlist, as I

1274
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:24,160
said on the previous one, and I
just keep playing that and it's

1275
01:14:24,160 --> 01:14:26,920
great.
But we've had lots of little

1276
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,440
pretty much every day isn't it
every day.

1277
01:14:29,440 --> 01:14:32,520
We've had a little promotional
video come out over the past

1278
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,280
three weeks.
That music video is so freaking

1279
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:40,120
good, but I, yeah, I love that
they're taking little bits of it

1280
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:44,040
and posting those videos and
pictures from it.

1281
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:48,280
They've been posted a few little
behind the scenes bits, which we

1282
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,280
always appreciate.
Hopefully that's leading into a

1283
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:54,320
Lovejoy, etcetera, you know,
behind the scenes filming of the

1284
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,000
music video.
That's got to be down the Pike,

1285
01:14:57,040 --> 01:14:59,640
I'd imagine.
They've been keeping us well fed

1286
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,560
on social media.
It's, it's been Absolutely

1287
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:06,760
Fabulous to sort of, you know,
everyday Instagram notification.

1288
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:12,480
And Alt Nation on SiriusXM had
them on their Advanced Placement

1289
01:15:12,920 --> 01:15:14,760
list for the week that it came
out.

1290
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,920
So that's big.
They've played the song about 9

1291
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:20,840
times or so on there.
We need to keep sending in

1292
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:22,800
requests to Alt Nation to keep
it up there.

1293
01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:28,000
Get it on the Alt 18, their
weekly countdown of the top 18

1294
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:31,040
most requested songs.
That would be huge.

1295
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,680
And like we always say, radio
station requests always welcome.

1296
01:15:36,400 --> 01:15:38,400
We'll be putting out more
information about how to do that

1297
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,880
and recommended stations to
contact.

1298
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:45,160
I don't want to sound like a
broken record, but these are all

1299
01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:48,520
important ways to help the band
in addition to streaming and

1300
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,520
buying downloads of the songs.
Absolutely.

1301
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,200
And it's, I mean, it doesn't
take much time.

1302
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,880
A lot of these radio stations,
you can send a text message or,

1303
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,520
you know, an e-mail.
It's easy.

1304
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:04,680
Yeah, even a WhatsApp.
And they're, they're looking for

1305
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,600
interaction, too.
It's, you know, it helps them.

1306
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:11,080
They want audience involvement.
Yeah, all help each other.

1307
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:13,000
They.
Do, I mean, you know, gosh, this

1308
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:16,520
was a few weeks ago already
before Summerfest, but I, I just

1309
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:20,680
fired off a few random text
messages to some radio stations

1310
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,280
across the country.
And there was one in Illinois

1311
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:25,200
that they hadn't heard it
before.

1312
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:26,680
They're like, OK, I'll take a
listen.

1313
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:29,480
They actually texted me back and
said this is a great song and

1314
01:16:29,480 --> 01:16:32,920
they played it.
So I mean, it works.

1315
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,720
We just have to just have to
keep at it.

1316
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:38,440
I think so.
I know there's a station in

1317
01:16:38,440 --> 01:16:40,600
like, North Carolina.
I should give them a shout out

1318
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:44,240
at some point.
They play Call Me What You Like

1319
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:47,360
like every three hours.
Really.

1320
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,440
I need to tell them they have
more songs than that.

1321
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,600
They have a brand new song, The
Ruin in the mix.

1322
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:57,600
You like them?
The Rome in the mix.

1323
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:59,960
They might not even know.
They might not be aware.

1324
01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:04,360
So yeah, to catch the ones that
are already playing Lovejoy, to

1325
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,520
let them know that there's a new
song that's just come out,

1326
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,040
that's what we got to do.
That's an excellent point,

1327
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:14,000
Leslie, and I'm not sure that
there are not.

1328
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,440
Everybody knows that this song
is out.

1329
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:18,520
Like I said, one or two of the
radio stations I talked to did

1330
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:22,000
not know anything about it.
And so, yeah, you make a great

1331
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:23,000
point.
If they're already playing

1332
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:24,640
Lovejoy, why wouldn't they play
Rob?

1333
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:28,400
Just got to hit him up.
Exactly, I even encountered a

1334
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,480
few people on TikTok that
haven't heard of the movie,

1335
01:17:30,480 --> 01:17:31,800
didn't know about the movies
yet.

1336
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:37,240
You know, they missed that one
or two posts that get put up

1337
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,760
about these things and then they
they don't know they exist.

1338
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,880
So I'll be making more Tik Toks
using footage from that to get

1339
01:17:43,880 --> 01:17:46,480
more people over to the YouTube
channel to see those.

1340
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:52,480
Because two hours of Lovejoy is
like, unheard of, right?

1341
01:17:52,480 --> 01:17:55,640
Coming from Lovejoy, not, you
know, poorly recorded,

1342
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:58,080
screaming, yelling, bouncing
concert videos.

1343
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,240
Yeah, I came across with a few
people at Summerfest that did

1344
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,800
not know about the movie, and
it's funny.

1345
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:07,920
You hand them the nugget and you
know immediately if they know

1346
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,160
what it's from.
And so, so it was like a great

1347
01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:13,320
Segway.
I'm just like, go check out the

1348
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,480
Lovejoy movies and then you'll
understand what what the nugget

1349
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:18,400
is all about.
I'm like jealous that they get

1350
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,960
to watch them for the first time
because what a thrill to sit

1351
01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:25,880
down and know you have like 55
minutes video to watch.

1352
01:18:26,480 --> 01:18:29,200
That was exciting.
Yeah, I need to give those a

1353
01:18:29,200 --> 01:18:30,400
rewatch.
They're fun.

1354
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,560
And then we and again the music
video for Rob, you could watch

1355
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,720
it like five times in a row and
see something different each

1356
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,480
time.
You could read into it

1357
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,520
differently each time.
Absolutely.

1358
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,440
I know we've gushed about that
before, but yeah, talk about

1359
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,880
yeah, it's, it's fantastic.
So we'd love to hear your

1360
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:53,320
thoughts on then Rob and then
the single, the music video.

1373
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:35,280
I don't know that we have an
exact topic for the next

1374
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,800
episode, but things I have
written down, things we'll be

1375
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:41,600
covering, you know, in future
episodes, we'll have Tyler back

1376
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:44,320
for another edition of our
mental health series.

1377
01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:46,480
Are you all right?
So I'm looking forward to that.

1378
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,160
Yeah.
Anything that Lovejoy might come

1379
01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,840
out with between now and then,
we'll definitely be covered and

1380
01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:53,320
talked about on the next
episode.

1381
01:19:53,320 --> 01:19:55,360
I know a few ideas we've been
knocking around.

1382
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:57,600
Where?
How to be a great fan,

1383
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:00,200
interviews with industry
experts.

1384
01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:04,880
I think maybe we've got a few
things cooking there and like

1385
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,280
Leslie said, answers to your
questions.

1386
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,880
So go ahead and send those in.
We, we love to hear from you.

1387
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,560
And also like Leslie said, we
read all of them.

1388
01:20:13,600 --> 01:20:16,880
Every single one.
And your suggestions too, I

1389
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,080
guess you said questions and
feedback, but suggestions as

1390
01:20:20,080 --> 01:20:21,840
well.
Someone suggested today that we

1391
01:20:21,840 --> 01:20:25,320
do some sort of trivia episode,
which sounded really cool if I

1392
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,040
could figure out wrap my head
around how we can make that

1393
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:31,120
work.
And wasn't there a suggestion

1394
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:37,520
for a fan art episode?
Fan artists episode, I think

1395
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:39,240
we'll definitely pursue that as
well.

1396
01:20:42,400 --> 01:20:46,680
Thanks for listening, hope you
enjoyed, look forward to hearing

1397
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,800
from you, and until then, we'll
be swimming in spite of the

1398
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:53,320
apathy.
See you later.

1399
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:54,760
Bye guys.
Take care.

1400
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,440
Bye.
Bye bye.

1401
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:03,600
Oh my gosh, good timing.
