  Speaker 1: At least you're being real about it though, you know.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And I want to kick off this interview with a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: very important question, how is the golf game these days?
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I played in the at and T
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: pro am at Pebble Beach. Wow, And I was so bad.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: You would have been like, I think you're left handed.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: And so I went and got a lesson from a
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: pro by where I live named Rick Fair, who back
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in the day he played in six Masters, and he
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: gave me just a few little baby hints of how
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: to improve my game. And it's just a totally different game,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: totally different swing and everything is different and much better.
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: So it's good.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: And you told me you just played Augusta Augusta Nashal.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: I was able to play Augusta as where.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The Masters will be in about three weeks. Pretty impressive,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: is the course? All that is looks like on TV.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: When you hit a divot, you're tempted to pick up
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: the grass and put it in your pocket home with it,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: right special?
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And sand and the sand trap you take some sandhome everything. Yeah,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the Christine, we could talk golf. I see that for
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: new music.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a song covering here somewhere. Is golf your
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: break from music? Like if you need to step back
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: from Yeah?
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: And some people are like, what is it about music
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: that translates into golf? And I think the only thing
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I can think of is like rhythm, Like you kind
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: of need a certain rhythm when you swing. But other
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: than that, I don't see a connection that would make
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: sense for me.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Well, a lot of people play golf on the Weekend's
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: see what you're doing. We got a new tune from
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Tree It's called the Weekend. And how does this song?
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: How did this song all come about? Here? How come
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: just one song?
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: By the way, Well, we'll have an album in June.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: We tour with bar Naked Ladies and Matt Nathanson starting
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: in July, and so we'll have a new record for
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: people to hear and hopefully they'll like it enough for
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: us to play a few new ones during the shows.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But the song came about, you know, COVID made it
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: so that I had to learn how to use recording equipment,
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: which I refused to do for you know, one hundred years,
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: and so now we work remotely. I write songs with
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a couple guys in the band that are awesome, And
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: this song was really something I just started singing about
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: when people talk about their lives too much, or when
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: they post on Instagram too much, it's not real, like
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: you like the love stories that you see and then
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: three weeks later that are separated, like it's all. So
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the weekend is about don't tell anybody, don't talk about
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: the weekend, Just who have the greatest weekend of all time?
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: And then keep it there until next weekend.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Because you mentioned in the song your real friends will
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: know about your week right, yep, you'd know.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, So just being in the moment, getting back to
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: be in.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: The moment, I tell what We're gonna play it right now.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: You want to introduce it for us real quick.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen. The great viewers were listeners of iHeartRadio.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: I bring to you Train's new single The Weekend. I
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: don't talk about the weekend light Fm.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I don't talk about the Weekend. You go the new
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: tune from Train the Weekend on one of six twenty
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: seven LIGHTFM give it up. Good to hear that on
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: a Friday, going into the weekend. Pat Monahan is here
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: from the band. A lot going on, and twenty five
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: years since Drops of Jupiter, you're celebrating that, right, Yeah,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: how does it go by that fast? I remember when
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you came up, You're a new band.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I'm twenty six.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I have no idea. What do you remember about that
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: time when it was all starting to blow up?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: It was a really hard time in my life, was Yeah,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: So other than being in a band, you know, struggling,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: we had Meet Virginia, which really just gave us a
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: chance to make another album. Like we sold a million records,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: which sounds like a whole lot of records, but back
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: in those days, it just gave you a chance to
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: like make another record. And we didn't have a leadoff
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: single because back in the day on radio, it was
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: like you got to have that one thing that's going
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: to make people want to buy the album or go
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: to the next single, and so we struggled to write
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the last song for a couple of months, and my
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: mother had passed away, and one night I went to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: sleep and woke up about ten minutes later and wrote
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: the song in fifteen minutes. It was just like she
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: wrote it with me or for me.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Wow. I mean that's that's that's pretty deep right there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, she gave you that song. Your mom gave
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you that song.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, in a way.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: And you know, I keep asking her to send me
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: part two and she's like, I'm good.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: I kind of did what I was supposed to do.
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: It's my magic exactly.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I think that's why the song resonates with people
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: so much too, because it's so relatable for.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: So many of us, very personal.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I had to, you know, make it into
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: a love song, because you know, singing about your mom
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: isn't as as sexy as people want, you know.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You know, we were looking back at twenty five years ago,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Drops a Jupiter, the things that were happening in the world.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and one, TRL was all over MTV.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: was the biggest movie of the year cool Apple introduced
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that little thing called the iPod.
