done. But is it I think so? It's got to be right.
We don't usually take engagements before noontime. Well, we're very honored. Wait
you told me it was noon. That's because I was tired. There was
another time change exactly. We do an extra one now. But this is

yeah, no, we really like it here. It's nice, it's new
everything's very clean. It's uh, it's quite nice, quite nice. But
h and by the way, that track, I love that song, Human
Emotion. That's one of the ones we played the last time you guys there,
and we'll play some more later in the hour too. But you guys
have a big show coming up. We should mention that right off the top,
because we do have some tickets to give away. Yeah, that's right,
we do, we do. Yeah, So we're going to be next
this coming Friday down at Blue Ocean Music Hall with Barry Goodrow, the original
guitarist from the band Boston Yes, and his new band, I say new
band. He's been winning the loup. But Barry Goodrow's Engine Room is the
name of the band, and they've got some awesome stuff. But they actually
do some Boston tunes as well. So you know, you come to a
show like that, you get some new stuff and you get some some classics.
It's gonna be a fun one. So we're looking forward to it.
That'd be weird if you didn't do some Boston songs. It would make it
would be really weird. But I'll tell you what, Boston's not easy to
cover, right, I mean, obviously dope is along with Yeah, I'm
not easy to to cover some of those students. But the guy, forget
the singer's name, I can't remember, but he's been with him for a
while and he does a great job and they do some cool stuff. I
know that at one point they had Michael Sweet from Stryper singing with him,
but I don't think. I don't think that's still the case, is it.
I don't. I don't think he's still Okay. Thanks, so,
yeah, yeah, it'd be yeah, i'd be weird for him not to
do some Boston songs. Yeah, I uh. Somebody actually it was Polly
Seeve texted me and he said he's going to see Colin Hay no kidding,
and uh And I I asked him, I said, do you think he'll
do any men at work songs? Because I heard sometimes he doesn't just to
be a jerk, which isn't which isn't true. But can you imagine how
angry people will be they want to see Colin Hay disappointed and he didn't play
you know, down Under or something. I did see Colin Hay and yeah,
and I was looking forward to that too, and unfortunately he did it.
Although I think he waited at the very end. So really, oh
really, is he really going to play it? Oh wow? Oh no
kidding. Yeah, they had a bunch of hits men at work, but
that's the one everybody remembers. Yeah, probably the one thing he probably probably,
I'm sure. Well, I'm had to play this so many Oh my
gosh, I'm sure. But I'm sure he doesn't mind the royalty checks,
right, yeah, I think he's still getting those. There were some weird
stuff going on with that band in the royalties, I think. Oh really,
I think he's still getting that happens that unfortunately. Yeah, well yeah,
Boston was one of those bands too. Actually oh yeah, no doubt.
So that's gonna be uh yeah, so Jenny and I will be there.
That'll be uh Friday, April fifth, Yeah, yeah, next Friday.
I appreciate you guys coming down. Thanks, thanks for doing it absolutely
and getting dragged to amusing are you kidding? Like all excited? I can't
wait. That's great. Trying to figure out what I want to wear.
Well, you know, Blue Ocean is a cool venue. Have you been
to Blue Ocean? Sure? Okay, it's really a cool, great room.
Yeah, yeah, it's right on the water, so you look out
the back windows and literally like you could jump out into the ocean. The
first time we played their Carl, I don't know if you remember, but
they brought us to the green room in the back and it was like a
really stormy day. The waves were crashing up against the side and I literally
thought like we were gonna it was gonna break the windows, we were gonna
get watching in a like you feel like, I don't want to say the
Titanic, but it feels like you're in a boat and the waves are just
smashing up against the side of the building and you're wondering if you're going to
live through it. Totally for some vitamin c oh I hope it's low tide.
You can actually you can walk right out out of the beach and you
know, go ten minutes early and check out the beach. Get there early
because and there's a restaurant right next door called it's called Sea Glass, right
or fig Glas Sea Glass. You should definitely go there for a drink or
something because the view is extraordinary. Really okay, cool, fun, Wow,
we're looking forward to that. We're looking forward to that now. I
was id even more now, Yeah, Yeah. Now is it just you
guys and very Goodrow's engine rumor is there another opener or just us? It's
just two of us Verry, Yeah, excellent, excellent. How did that
come about? Like, uh, do you know Barry Goodrow personally or did
somebody reach out to you and offer you the show? Yeah? Basically,
so we've we our manager is often looking into these things. Yeah, and
I think he reached out. It kind of went through Live Nation and he
reached out to those guys. They decided it would be a good fit.
There's some crossover between us and Barry because Barry's kind of played this circuit,
Oh yeah, in this area for a while. And I think there are
some musicians that we've played with that have played with him. Sure, neutral
and so, uh anyway, they decided it would be a good fit,
and uh so we were excited to take it. Yeah, yeah, outstanding.
Yeah, so that will be That is a Friday, April fifth.
Hello to easy G in the Facebook live chat, who says happy Easter weekend.
I always forget when Easter is because it sneaks up because it's a different
time. I know, so early this year it seems early. It does.
Yeah, we got another snowstorm coming next week? Is that true?
Really? Yeah? I just oh, no, for real, I just
saw that. I saw that last night. They're talking about a foot of
snow really? Oh yeah, for sure Wednesday Thursday. Oh wow, wouldn't
that be something? Wow? Wow, you're the bearer. Something will happen,
a warm front will move. And you gotta see this guy. I
took a picture of him. I'll post it later. You got you gotta
see his uh morning morning uh appearance. I don't know, mourning the microphone
holding him up. Mornings are rough. It's yeah, it's not far from
what he looks like after a gig. Actually really kind of look. It's
easy, gess in the chat room, I have to ask you the question
he always loved to ask bands, have you played in Canada? M Uh
have we played in Canada? No? I don't think we have. No,
No, we have not. We've seen bands in Canada, yeah,
but we haven't played in Canada. A good question though, Yes, Yeah,
he just likes to know if people have gotten to go go to Canada
play it's his standard. We haven't done it. I wonder if EG feels
that we're helping him by doing that. Or if he feels we're stealing his
thunder. He usually likes to have the question asked though. Yeah, but
he well, he loves to asking himself unless he just wha has uh abdicated
that authority to us? Which he made very well? Is easyg from Canada?
Or is no? No, he's from Manchester? Is yes originally but
his last name's Gagnan and that's kind of a French name, right, Yeah,
maybe is the ancestry. Maybe maybe we should? Uh, we should
play another song? Uh? You sent me a bunch of them? What
what should we play next? I'll let you guys pick. Oh, let's
see what did we I'm trying to remember what we sent over. I think
we sent uh, I think we sent Oh you know what? We can
play this will this will send it off in a different direction. I said
a song called make Belief Celebrity. This is not a song that's on our
latest album. We're not going to do it, but we can do it
now early in the show and I can tell you about it. Cool.
Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't remember this one from last time,
so this has not been Is this a world radio premiere? Uh,
It's quite possible. Because I don't think anyone's I don't think anyone's picked it
up. So deep cut, deep cut nice call it a radio premiere.
I'd say, we like the world radio premiere here, so we'll just assume
that it is. Yeah, so this is the World Radio the World Radio
Premiere, Make Leaf Celebrity from the band Best Not Broken. And you wanted
to tell us or do you want to tell us about it after? Well,
I'll tell you about it after I have to hear it again. Remember
what it's about, gotcha? Gotcha for a while? All right, check
this out here. It is Make the Leaf Celebrity. Bye, that's not
broken. You drove into the sunset waven like a queen, s that you

I'm a make Believe cebady. All right, that is the world radio premiere
Make Believe Celebrity. The band is Best Not Broken, And Jenny and I
are sitting here with two thirds of Best Not Broken here live in studio.
Great track. I love that, Thank you, thank you. Yeah that
we released it, I think twelve years ago. No, what's the world
radio premiere of a song that's twelve years old? Wow? Yeah, No,
we just never did anything with it, and I figured that would be
kind of fun. You play it live. Not right now, no,
because no one really knows it, you know, it's just on it.
It's I think it's on our first album that we ever put out, and
it was just sort of one of those tracks that we put on there.
We wanted to do something with it, and then we sort of just moved
on. But yeah, at the time, I was just Carlo had me
thinking. There's a guy in the band at the time named Scotty. He's
infamous in southern New Hampshire. Scotti Hollywood is his name, and he had
a video planned for this song and literally, this is no joke. Down
at the Manchester the Mill here, so we used to practice down the street
in one of the in the mill building and he rented a room. He
had a bed, right, He bought a bed and he built a round
It was like a round bed with these little platforms on the side, and
this was this bed was going to be part of the scene for this video
and the room was all decked out with different colors and murals on the wall.
We never shot the video, but Scotty probably is still paying for that
room over there. But I was waiting for the video to be I think
I'm glad we never shot that video. I think that's probably why I pulled
the plug. I was like, this is going the wrong direction. Yeah,
oh wow, wow, so you got But you guys don't currently play
that song live. We don't know. I think we've maybe played it once.
Yeah, yeah, maybe once. Yeah, I don't know. That's
great, very very catchy it is. Yeah, yeah, that's a silly
one. It's it was sort of it so we uh, the band was,
you know, we sort of started in Manchester and I remember there were
a bunch of bands around at the time and none of them really had any
chance of making it, but everyone thought we were like the next big thing,
right, So this is sort of like, well, even if we
don't make it, we can pretend right, right, and these are the
things that might happen, right, but sort of poking fun at ourselves.
Yeah, it was a fun tune. It would be a good video.
We just never got to it. Yeah. Yeah, well there's there's still
time, still time, I dig it. Yeah, thank you. We've
got best not broken here And we've been talking about the big show coming up
on April fifth at Blue Ocean And is that in Salisbury, Salisbury, Mass,
Salisbury, Mass. Yeah, yeah, Jenny and I are going to
be there and you get to see Barry Goudrou's engine rooms. Have they put
out music as do they have out? Yeah? Yeah they have does it
if you listen, does it kind of sound like Boston or does it sound
different? No, it's got a different sounded. I wouldn't say Boston because
the vocals are not. Oh yeah, you know, and certainly the layered
guitars are different. But it's it's very listenable. It's very good. Yeah,
all right, very good. Yeah, it's it's I would consider similar
to a similar genre to Boston, you know, like some guitar harmony stuff,
perhaps a little more uh bluesy, yeah, a little more soulful,
but it's it's good, good music. Yeah, cool, Yeah, I'll
have to check that out. And well, of course then we're gonna hear
them live on the fifth, so that's very cool. Have you guys been
playing out a lot? Have you been doing a lot of shows? Are
just kind of we're kind of getting back in the game. So winter is
usually a little slow for us and kind of ramping up for the summer season.
But we've been we've been doing some cover stuff, you know, and
and having some fun and uh, kind of getting ready to launch launch the
summer. Yeah, you got a lot of shows playing for this enough.
Yeah, yeah, excellent, excellent. I saw somebody in the building.
I was like, there's a I know who it was. But we have
a running you know, we talk on Retrospectrum Radio about Paul Paul sees a
ghost, but he hasn't seen he hasn't seen the ghost here in the uh,
in the building, in the building that we used to be Buddy,
what's that. There's a visitor on the that's a surprise. Wandered in that.
Hey, Peter, no owner, just a Doug. Yeah, yeah,
I think you wanted to say something. He was looking for a bus
ticket or a bone. Yes, Now in the building that we used to
be in, Polly see, we do a show of Friday Night it's called
the Retrospectrum Radio and Paully c would see this guy in the building and he
called him the Marlborough Man. But he was the only one who would see
him, like I never saw I never saw the guy, and neither did
anybody else as far as I know. But Paul used to see this apparition
or whatever really in the Yeah, yeah, it's pretty weird. Kind might
have just been a homeless person who got into the building. But sure,
but I but I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. And here
we have dogs. Yes, yes, I have a new friend. Apparently.
We sure it's a real dog and not a ghost. It could be
it could be a ghost dog. I did pet it. It felt furry.
Yes, he just wants everybody to be his friend. This dog is
adorable. We have a very loving, loving puppy in the studio. That's
distracting me because it's very lovely and we're all we're all animals. He lost
his owner, his own his owners back, his owners out, his owners
adoring him conveniently so he can try and go from human the human for extr
right, Yes, exactly. They got to make new friends. Probably,
that's that's all right, that's all right. The dog's adorable, loggy paw
or she, We don't know. Yeah, if it was a male or
female, I didn't know. Yeah, sure what to call right? Right?
That was adorable, very cool. What's the current situation as far as
releasing new music? Do you guys have anything new you've been working on or
well, we've been talking about it a little bit. We're kind of putting
our twenty twenty four recording plan together right now. But we have we have
an album and a half of material that's in the kitty and almost ready to
go, a number of older tunes that some of them are sort of partially
recorded, we just haven't finished them yet. Yeah, we got to get
in to get those done. And then I've got a bunch of newer ish
stuff that's that's ready to go, So we got to get that polished up
and get into the studio. So we're trying to figure out how and where
to do that and see if we can get out as soon as we can.
It's going to be a busy summer. Yeah, yeah, good.
When you do record, you're going to be recording Where did you record the
material that we have for it on the show? Where where did you record
that? So most of it has been recorded at Woolly Mammoth Sound down in
Walltham with Dave Minihan. Oh, right, right, right, I remember
we talked about that, yeah, and this so the most recent album was
recorded at Willy Mammoth with Dave and then he did some pre engineering and it
came up here to Matt Blanchette, who's a Manchester guy. Yes, I've
interviewed Matt. Yeah yeah, and he's got Revelry Studio and he's got his
own little thing going on and he's a he's a great guy. So yeah,
he did kind of the final editing and production with us and on the
last batch of tunes. But the make Believe Celebrity that you heard was all
Dave. That was you know, ten plus years ago, and that was
all Dave wille Mammoth. Okay, so yeah, we'll see. I mean,
technology is changing, which has allowed us to change the way we record,
and uh, you know, it's interesting because it's you'd think you'd think
that it would allow people to do more home recording, and it has,
right. So a lot of these albums that here, a lot of the
stuff is being done in home studios, fixed somewhere else. But Dave down
at Woolley seems to be getting busier, right, So we're just trying to
figure out what's the most efficient way for us to do it right. Right.
It's often a mix of things. Yeah, no doubt, Well,
we should play another track? What should we play? Next. I don't
know if you remember what you sent me, but oh you know what,
I actually how about that's the way she likes it? Sure, because I
remember we played that one last time you were here, and everybody was like
really liking that one a lot. I think this was this might have been
new the last time you guys were hearing it. Okay, okay, yeah,
And then I think I think I I remember now it's coming back to
me. I said something to you guys about that's you've got to that's a
hit song just waiting to happen. You. I think we did. We
have a few edits to make really well in listening to it. I don't
know. We'll listen to it now, let's do we think? All right,
yeah, we'll comment on the fly. Well, we'll hear it again
now. And it's sure too. It's only like it's only three minutes and
twenty one seconds, which is perfect for a single. Sure, it's exactly
yeah, yeah, all right, So this is that's the way she likes
it. The band is best not broken. Check this out. It's quartered
ten and we torn up the bed. It's Saturday morning with Friday champagne turning
farm off, talking them movies. She wants to see Dirty Dance and again
everyone knows she Shine. Goes silly on my imagine, she said, think
she don't even know. They just sees me walk blushes first. Tomorrow is
just the same. It's a party somewhere down on tim Luke Deck, dancing
in the wind. She calls me amazing. Chus mer, I'm thinking OF's
coling. But dreams are musians and our moms father really knows She's Shine.
Likes shown a host of fast and shine fast away. She s she don't
even know the name. She sees me blushes. It's her tomorrow. It
is just the same, the same voice say, but they'll be don't there
single word I says? She fel notts again things Maybe she doesn't last is
the blush and maybe I'm rushing the song. She's perfectly placed in the imagination.
Ma's where she been up. That's a way sho singing sold side perfect
very that's the way she likes it. She don't even know the name She's.
It's just that is really good. That's the way. Yeah, that's
the way she likes it. Thank you. The band is Best not Broken.
We have two members of Best not broken here with us live in studio.
I'm sure we talked about all this before, but for people who didn't
hear your previous appearance, what's the process like in terms of songwriting in the
band? Do you guys all write together or how does that work? Uh?
You know, I think it's sort of song by song. There are
many that uh, well, Low starts every song really yeah with the drums,
right, I start with the drums, and then I delete the bridge
and then and then we've got to hit this is sounding familiar? Yeah yeah,
yeah yeah, so uh but seriously, so you know, uh,
I kind of started as sort of a singer songwriter, kind of you know,
the acoustic guitar, and that's how a lot of my tunes start.
So uh and Mark who does some writing as well, same kind of deal.
So we'll we'll come up with sort of the core of the tune and
then at some point we bring it into the band and everyone sort of does
their thing, and sometimes it's really early and the whole thing is more of
a combined effort, and sometimes it just so happens that it's almost done when
we get it in, it's like, let's just fill in the pieces but
that that song had been around for a really long long time. That's the
way she likes it, and I always kind of wanted to do it.
Yeah, you know, the band, the sound of the band has evolved
a bit over the years, and it sort of felt like now is the
It was sort of a now or never in terms of getting it in.
And also, you know, I think the sound of the band has evolved
a little bit. You know, when we started off, it was,
uh, it was in the days of like you know, where Green Day
was still having hits like well their later albums, Yeah, and so like
you know, it was a little rockier and we've become more diverse, I
think, and so it felt like a good time to bring that tune in.
But uh yeah, so that's they often start that way and then then
we get together as a band and we sort of polish him up. And
truth be told, Carlo always cuts something and you know, insists on something
in the beginning of the end and cuts the bridge down or writes the bridge.
Well. You know, there's a lot of ideas in a song though,
you know, when you when you first start out creating a piece of
music, there's a lot of things that get thrown at you sure, and
not being you know, if Eric's coming up with the with the vibe of
what the song is like, you know, he's got a lot of things
in his head about how he feels it should sound. And then it's kind
of nice sometimes to get a fresh look at it, because you know,
you're just seeing so many things. But to be able to take out a
few pieces, you know, the whole lesson is more. Yeah. Times,
sometimes not all, but sometimes can make a difference in the tune,
and so it becomes very collaborative, you know, at that point, and
then you put a little frost thing on it. Next thing, you know,
you get a song. Yeah. I mean that song in particular,
as I recall, for a while had a very different groove to it actually
really yeah, And I don't know exactly when it happened, but at some
point in time we tried a different a different feeling toward it. And that's
what you that's what you just heard on the record. Yeah. Actually,
I think I think in the studio we played it two ways. I think
Dave had us play it two ways. That sounds familiar, and we think
it was the new way that I don't know if we'd actually ever done it
that way before, except but it's now obviously sounds like the way it should
be done, right, that's what I was done in the studio. But
yeah, yeah, but it evolved for sure. Okay, okay, very
cool? Uh should we Yeah, we have time? Why don't we want
to play another one? Well? Sure, let's see what should we play?
I had the last one. I said you guys could pick, and
then I ended up picking it because I was like, wait a minute,
now we have to hear that one again. What should we Uh? We
got low Lights, We've got I don't belong what you do? Low Lights.
That's a little different, little diddy. That one's a little a little
darker, isn't it? If I remember, yeah, I guess you could
look at it that way, I mean, you know, yeah, yeah,
that's a contrast. Mark sings that one has a little bit of a
different vibe, a little more of a Spanish southern feel to it. It's
kind of a unique little snippet our set. So right right, all right,
check this out. This is low Lights and the band is best not
broken. You drink a little more, you sit your child. What a
lot of people saying that you dropped the team been. I won't aunt you,
but I'm saying that you do it. Who knows the true in the
night time, and the man was like, letting get a little crazy inside
in the nighttime, in the low in the main time rains no stallion.
Man kind of think it's a bat check in the load and does a belt
another one lass gets fun boom and then it empties out. If you want
another not A lot of people don't have the same attention. Then I like
you the same shots not who can tell you? Okay, come, let's
get gone in the nighttime. If it feels night let it get a little
crazy inside in the nighttime, in the low light. Conference in the main
time, nostaia man, I don't think it's a batch in the low light.
That's a feel in the nighttime. If it feels right, let it
get a little crazy inside in the nighttime, in the low light, in
the mentu feeling. Now, that is catchy as hell. That is low
lights. The band is Best Not Broken, and we have two thirds of
Best Not Broken here with us live in studio. That is such a great
song. Yeah, I remember that one from last time. Yeah, fun
we like it, Yeah, yeah, really really good. Hey, I
want to say hi to some people in the Facebook live chat, starting with

The guests who yeah? Who oh? You guys played with them?
Yeah? Yeah, And you know what was interesting was I mean they're a
little be kind, they're a little older than us, but but there you
forget how much music they have. Yeah, their music is iconic. Oh
yeah, like it defined an entire generation. And it was really wild to
see them play that live. I mean it was yeah, that was that
To me, that was a you know, I don't want to say it
was like hearing the Beatles, but you know it was damn close. I
mean it was. They've got some really big, big songs that really lasted.
Well that was the sixties, right, yeah, sixties, early seventies.
Well, I know what you mean though, because they're a band that
they've got some some big hits that you probably most people probably don't realize who
it is really, you know, they hear that, they hear the songs,
and they know the songs. But if you were to ask them,
you know, if you were to say, you know, guess who that
artist is and they be like, you know, you could make a whole
uh sort of who's on first? Uh. That was a fun show we
we actually did. We did that one a little differently too. We didn't
do like a half acoustic kind of thing. Yeah, quasi acoustic, which
was cool. So I had a different, different feel to it. So
it was kind of it was kind of fun, but well, you know,
speaking of Blue Ocean. The other one, we did a Blue Oshan
which was recently just one and we might have mentioned this when we were here,
but we played with Kevin Bacon and the Bacon Brothers, and that was
like a full acoustic show because Kevin's more he's got a he's a pretty It's
kind of an eclectic mix of like, you know, country, jazz,
folks, blue grass, like the whole you know, a little bit of
rock, but just like all over the map and they so we were sort
of trying to be kind of in the in the same genre. So we
were mostly acoustic. Yeah, and some of the Unfortunately some of our tunes
translate pretty well acoustic. But that was a fun one too. And and
the thing that stood out to me though was the security. It's amazing.
You know. You think you go to a rock and roll show or a
music show and security is usually pretty tight. But you get a movie star
right and rights like you can't like, you know, they're tight here with
the coffee. I mean, it couldn't go like five feet down the hallway
and they're giving us a hard time. Oh no, kidding. Yeah,
we did give him a bottle of wine, which he was very appreciative,
but we couldn't hand it to him personally. Oh that's funny. It went
through the people, right through the people. But he gave us a nice
shout out. And that was a fun show too. That's an interesting dynamic
when you've got a band like that. That's you know, they're not like
the Bacon Brothers as an entity, is not like, uh, you know,
an arena act, you know what I mean. But on the other
hand, one of the guys happens to be an A list celebrity, so
that's interesting. Yeah, how does his brother feel, I know, well,
you know, his brother knows that they're getting gigs, right exactly.
Yeah, his brother is probably just fine with it, you know what I
mean. I mean, it's amazing to it because I think they sold out.
It's amazing they sold out. It was they actually put on a good
show that they had a list musicians. I mean, the cats that were
playing with them were top notch and they did a great job too. And
of course you know what you're waiting for when you're seeing the Bacon brothers,
and sure enough, you know, for the encore. I mean that was
that was the tune that they did Footloose, So which was I gotta say,
you know, having seen the movie, right, pretty iconic to see
Kevin Bacon singing Footloose on stage. Did he dance a little bit? Maybe?
I think he did a little bit a little someone up there. Because
he's going to go back to the high school that was filmed in I can
go to their last proms, for their last prom I think it's awesome,
so cool, right, Yeah, he seems like a really good guy.
Yeah, he seems human. He does exactly, and he stays pretty active
on social media too. He's I think he's doing regular, regular posts and
sort of like a glimpse of hit into the real life of Kevin Bacon.
His wife's a movie star too, Yeah, they both. I can't remember
who's he married to. Oh okay, yeah, okay, yeah, I
forgot about that. Wow. Well, yeah, I've heard that they're that
the Bacon Brothers are really good live. Who else, if any anybody else
you guys have played with the really stands out well, I always you know,
our first big show was with Pat Benattar. We did a couple of
shows with her, I think. Yeah. We did a string of shows
with the Gin Blossoms, which was cool. Yeah. Vertical Horizon Yeah yeah,
yeah, that's really good. That that massive from the movie what does
that song? You're a God? Yeah? Oh no, no, that
was That was their follow up, which wasn't as big, a really big
one. Yeah, in my head, I can't remember the name. Oh
He's Everything you want? Well yeah, yeah, yeah that was. Yeah.
I couldn't get away from this. I didn't know that really. Yeah.
Yeah, England has a nice amount of musicians. Oh yeah, we
have a lot of great stuff that comes out of New England. Absolutely,
I'm a little biased. Yeah we all are. Yeah, we are know
that the scene is incredible. Absolutely, Well, let's let's speaking one more.
I'd like to get in one more song. Sure, Uh what?
I I think there's probably one left that we haven't played. Yep. I
think it's I don't belong. I don't belong. I can't wait till next

in studio, and we've been talking about, oh we should talk about the
video. You guys were saying, there's a great video for that song.
It's a video I don't know about great, but it's let's just say it's
entertaining. Yeah, what your mom think of it? My mom was embarrassed,
I think to be my mom. Oh no, Well, the good
news is you couldn't actually tell that it was you, right, that's that
is true. Without giving too much away, that is mostly true. I'm
sure your mom knew and perhaps other Yeah, well, being fallically challenged,
the outfit in this particular video was supportive, so I guess without giving away
we so we actually speaking of high schools, we shot it at a local
high school. Cool and we there was a story written for this video which
kind of followed the song, and we came up with a plan to shoot
this video in a day. We just missed it. We had to do
one slice of it live in a different, different venue, but most of
it was shot in a day in a high school with a cast, and
it was It was a lot of fun shooting it, and we got pretty
close to what we wanted. It turned out to be very entertaining. Nobody
got hurt. No one got hurt. That's what counts. That's that's the
important thing. Very very good. Well we've been talking about of course,

Yeah, so that'll actually be an April storm. Wow, the only
time, Well, I remember when I was a kid. I wonder if
we're thinking about the same storm. If we are, it was actually April
second, but people remember it as April first because it's easy to remember it
as April. But I remember it was actually April second. If we're thinking
about the same storm, maybe there was a because when I remember when I
was a kid, there was a massive blizzard on April second. No,
No, it wasn't when you were a kid, because I was a grown
adult, older than I'm thinking of when I was when I was a kid.
I just remember growing up. There was one year where we had a
massive they had It was April second, and we had this like massive blizzard.
It was like the biggest storm of the winter on April second. It
was weird. No, I was working in a nursing home and I was
excited because I could actually get home because I had a Oh god, what
was I can't think of Subaru. It was a Subaru. It was the
ugliest Subaru ever. It had fake wood paneling. Those are the best kind.
Boy. That baby got me home. All right, that's good,
that's good. Yeah, Oh okay, yeah, all right, all right,
there must have been two storms. Yeah, in April, two April
storms. Prince has a song called Sometimes it Snows in April, which probably
most people what is that on Haisley Park I think maybe I don't know,
