- 1:48Speaker 1: the show.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Thanks for having me.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Can we talk before we get into your new show?
- 1:53Speaker 1: And you know, I'm a cooking guy too, and I
- 1:56Speaker 1: love cooking. I cook for my family as often as
- 1:59Speaker 1: I can when I'm home. I love your story. Tell
- 2:05Speaker 1: us a little bit about, you know, that period of
- 2:09Speaker 1: time when you were struggling and sixteen sixteen Stone hadn't
- 2:15Speaker 1: even been written yet, it hadn't come out. That was
- 2:18Speaker 1: what nineteen ninety five tell us about the early years
- 2:22Speaker 1: and what that was like making it up that ladder.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Well, I really committed my whole life to music, you know,
- 2:31Speaker 3: so when I left school and I didn't want to
- 2:36Speaker 3: go to college or anything like that, I really wanted
- 2:39Speaker 3: to get on with the world, take a world on
- 2:41Speaker 3: way out of that man and I just it was.
- 2:46Speaker 3: It was a brilliant time of just self discovery, of
- 2:48Speaker 3: just trying to find out who I was and living
- 2:51Speaker 3: in London. I had an a problem with a few friends.
- 2:57Speaker 3: We would die out every night. We would be the
- 3:01Speaker 3: kings of London Nightlight got out. We were but I
- 3:06Speaker 3: mean we would go regularly out to all different clubs.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Had no money. I'd never bought a dream, I didn't
- 3:12Speaker 3: have any money. It never really bothered me because there's
- 3:14Speaker 3: never any perspective on that being anything peculiar or you know.
- 3:19Speaker 3: So it was just somehow we did it. I can't
- 3:22Speaker 3: believe it. And I was in two other bands before Bush,
- 3:27Speaker 3: and I think that they were really helpful. And I
- 3:31Speaker 3: meant I was the last one standing in both bands,
- 3:34Speaker 3: because that's my nature, right, I don't give up. Other
- 3:37Speaker 3: people give up before me. And so twice I was
- 3:40Speaker 3: left standing left of the altar of music or whatever.
- 3:43Speaker 3: And it was weird because my second band, you know
- 3:46Speaker 3: the guy Emil Lovely Lovely Emial Lobo, and he was
- 3:51Speaker 3: amazing guitar player, but more of a classic rock kind
- 3:54Speaker 3: of guitar player. So I went from a guitar player
- 3:56Speaker 3: in my first band who was a bit more sort
- 3:58Speaker 3: of pop oriented. I couldn't do the Gang of Four
- 4:01Speaker 3: stuff that I liked as clearly don't yeah, my I
- 4:05Speaker 3: just would suggest music. Then I wasn't. I didn't. I
- 4:07Speaker 3: wasn't playing well enough. I sort of was like a
- 4:10Speaker 3: played busking chords, you know what I mean to get
- 4:12Speaker 3: through a Dylan song, but nothing, nothing you'd call like
- 4:16Speaker 3: a more like a real songwriter style of limited guitar playing.
- 4:20Speaker 3: So and even the first band, I didn't play it
- 4:22Speaker 3: at all, So I had to ask for things. And
- 4:25Speaker 3: I love Public Image, but that the band didn't ever
- 4:28Speaker 3: sound like Public Image, but midnight at the first mine
- 4:31Speaker 3: and in the second band, I wasn't He wouldn't let
- 4:34Speaker 3: me play guitar, didn't want me to play guitar, and
- 4:38Speaker 3: which is sort of fair enough because it's really accomplished
- 4:40Speaker 3: guitar player. But the problem is is that, you know,
- 4:43Speaker 3: especially in my line of work, it's not like it's
- 4:45Speaker 3: nothing to do with the quality of your guitar playing.
- 4:48Speaker 3: In order to write a song, he's had to know
- 4:50Speaker 3: enough to give it the framework. And I was really
- 4:53Speaker 3: really lucky to then be blessed through two incarnations of
- 4:56Speaker 3: Bush with two phenomenal on guitar players, both of them.
- 5:01Speaker 3: So I've been really lucky. As my foils, they've been
- 5:05Speaker 3: great and and and what happened is that I got
- 5:09Speaker 3: forced into writing songs because I couldn't find anyone to
- 5:13Speaker 3: work with. And before I had done that. I just
- 5:16Speaker 3: thought it was a bit embarrassing to say, you devote
- 5:20Speaker 3: your life to music and being a songwriter, but you
- 5:22Speaker 3: couldn't write your own song and you're always waiting around
- 5:24Speaker 3: for someone else to write a song with. I thought
- 5:25Speaker 3: that was weak, you know. So that's why I began
- 5:28Speaker 3: writing songs on my own. I mean, I'm perfectly collaborative now,
- 5:31Speaker 3: and I work and I write, you know, with my
- 5:34Speaker 3: band or the producer, and so I'm really open to that.
- 5:38Speaker 3: I like that, and Tyler Bates I've written with a lot.
- 5:40Speaker 3: I love that. It's a whole different It's just a
- 5:42Speaker 3: different way of approaching it. And I think that no
- 5:44Speaker 3: one cares if I wrote it or I wrote it
- 5:46Speaker 3: with someone else. Really, so I always write the top line.
- 5:49Speaker 3: I always write the words. So and so those years
- 5:53Speaker 3: were wild, and we're all we ever lived by was
- 5:56Speaker 3: the ethos of what would be like if we ever
- 5:59Speaker 3: had a die lemma about which door to go through,
- 6:02Speaker 3: We'd say, where would Jim Morrison go? Where would so
- 6:07Speaker 3: we always went through gym right to the liquor store? Yeah, yeah,
- 6:11Speaker 3: whatever story, We totally we lived. We did not not
- 6:13Speaker 3: as much liquor, but more the other door, but we
- 6:15Speaker 3: definitely went through that door. So we lived a wild
- 6:19Speaker 3: life and much in the sort of you know, in
- 6:23Speaker 3: that tradition of just saying that sometimes you can go.
- 6:27Speaker 3: It's the Bill Hicks concept of like, you know, like
- 6:31Speaker 3: not wanting to give drugs a bad name. You know,
- 6:33Speaker 3: you can have a recreationally, you can enjoy yourself and
- 6:36Speaker 3: have a furtive cool time. Now, of course that's all
- 6:39Speaker 3: over because fentanyl ruined everything for anyone, so now you
- 6:43Speaker 3: can't be like that. But back in those days it
- 6:45Speaker 3: was just sort of London was really permissive, really open,
- 6:48Speaker 3: really free and really wild, and I thought it was
- 6:51Speaker 3: really about living the full life, so that you know,
- 6:55Speaker 3: immersing yourself in the culture of songs and writing and
- 6:59Speaker 3: living and being and you know, not sort of having
- 7:01Speaker 3: a fall back not having money or fall back job
- 7:05Speaker 3: like I did menial jobs at that time you were.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Asking about, So tell me about the songs from sixteen Stone.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Where did that come from? Was that just coming out
- 7:18Speaker 1: of you?
- 7:19Speaker 3: Yeah. So we lived in this basement in thirty seven
- 7:21Speaker 3: Montague Square and I lived in the basement. My friend
- 7:23Speaker 3: Alex lived in the front room. Pete who still works
- 7:26Speaker 3: with me, he sort of lived for quite a while
- 7:28Speaker 3: in the corridor. Nikki Lothar from Canada, I see, lived
- 7:31Speaker 3: in the boiler room, and I had a girlfriend for
- 7:34Speaker 3: a number of years through that time, so she lived
- 7:37Speaker 3: with me, and so it was a real social hub.
- 7:44Speaker 3: You know, stuff was going on. It was just pretty
- 7:47Speaker 3: bare bones apartment, but really fantastic beautiful and we would
- 7:53Speaker 3: go out all night and or stay up all night whenever,
- 7:56Speaker 3: you know, the combination, have real fun. Stand in this kitchen.
- 7:59Speaker 3: The kitchen was like covered in graffiti, with like one
- 8:02Speaker 3: single cooker. I always remember it, but it was just great.
- 8:04Speaker 3: It was like we'd get these big vats of pasta
- 8:08Speaker 3: from the from the deli and King's Cross five pounds
- 8:11Speaker 3: of five bucks worth of this massive thing wheels and
- 8:14Speaker 3: pasta wheels, and so every day we'd have any kind
- 8:18Speaker 3: of combination of these pasta wheels. Because my friend Alex,
- 8:21Speaker 3: he grew up at a restaurant, so he was always
- 8:24Speaker 3: really nifty at putting an eggplant parmesan together or doing stuff.
- 8:29Speaker 3: And he came from an Italian background, so we those
- 8:34Speaker 3: pasta ways were great. So it was it was an
- 8:36Speaker 3: amazing time. I was really pleased when you know, I
- 8:41Speaker 3: found the lightning, bolt of success and all that stuff.
- 8:47Speaker 3: Of course, you know what I mean. I felt like
- 8:48Speaker 3: a much more belonged in a place where I could
- 8:51Speaker 3: just be productive and not be sort of always hit
- 8:54Speaker 3: a creative wall. So no one can you can I
- 8:56Speaker 3: make this record? No can I do this all? No
- 8:59Speaker 3: can I No, just endless nose, And so you just
- 9:02Speaker 3: keep going until someone says, yeah, you should do that.
- 9:04Speaker 3: You know, let's put all these songs together. Like when
- 9:06Speaker 3: I was signed to Epic with Midnight and muff Wind
- 9:08Speaker 3: would sign me, it wouldn't put make it, let us
- 9:12Speaker 3: make an album, would make a record. You know, we
- 9:14Speaker 3: had a couple of singles, and I'm sure we weren't
- 9:16Speaker 3: good enough. I don't even singing about like a year.
- 9:19Speaker 3: It was like, it's crazy that I could even get
- 9:22Speaker 3: a deal. But I think that because I was forced
- 9:24Speaker 3: to go to church every morning to listen to sometimes
- 9:28Speaker 3: Latin hymns and sometimes It's hymns, I had a real
- 9:31Speaker 3: sense of cadence of that. And you know, I am
- 9:36Speaker 3: I'm complete atheist, but I use Biblical language the whole
- 9:40Speaker 3: time because I think it's like so beautiful. Lots of
- 9:43Speaker 3: the words that you associate with the Bible, you know
- 9:47Speaker 3: sin you know, such an amazing word and stuff like that.
- 9:52Speaker 3: So yes, it's a weird mixture. But I think that
- 9:55Speaker 3: time was was was incredible, and I don't look at
- 9:59Speaker 3: like a time of failure. It's just like a time
- 10:01Speaker 3: of growing and trying to sort of find myself. And
- 10:04Speaker 3: the best thing about creative life is you can keep
- 10:07Speaker 3: on growing. There's no really no reason why you should
- 10:12Speaker 3: fall off. I think I've just made the best record
- 10:14Speaker 3: I've ever made, or right up there, it's really really,
- 10:16Speaker 3: really good. Not the best road I've ever made, that's stupid,
- 10:18Speaker 3: but definitely continue, really proud of this record full stop.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Some of your influences back then, I mean there was
- 10:29Speaker 1: ninety five sixteen Stone comes out. I think Oasis was
- 10:33Speaker 1: kind of ruling the roost at that point. Still right, yeah,
- 10:38Speaker 1: persuede blur. Right, there's a whole.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Incredible movement of britpop, celebration of England and me being
- 10:47Speaker 3: marketing genius. I am fell in love with the sound.
- 10:50Speaker 3: Had nothing to do with that, And the best part was,
- 10:54Speaker 3: I'll tell you, I can remember the moment. I can
- 10:56Speaker 3: remember the whoay in my flat Montague Square and I
- 11:02Speaker 3: used to have I had the music. I had my
- 11:05Speaker 3: Hi Fi on a trolley, so you'd take the speakers
- 11:09Speaker 3: are really long wire, you know, so you'd take the
- 11:11Speaker 3: speakers at either end of the apartment wherever we were,
- 11:13Speaker 3: and they'd be stationed and then wheel the trolley and
- 11:17Speaker 3: then you play your records or there. It was a sprint,
- 11:21Speaker 3: so because often we'd be wherever we were, we were three
- 11:23Speaker 3: places to be my bedroom, which is always about a
- 11:25Speaker 3: TV because there's only one TV, so it'll be crashed
- 11:28Speaker 3: there watching the football or hanging out whatever. And then
- 11:32Speaker 3: the kitchen where mainly we'd hang out. And then in
- 11:35Speaker 3: the front room, which is the sitting room, which is
- 11:38Speaker 3: where you're meant to hang out. We would hang out
- 11:40Speaker 3: once Alex Alex folded the better way. It wasn't a bed,
- 11:43Speaker 3: it was the sofa, so he'd bansally put the sheets
- 11:45Speaker 3: behind or bang behind it, opened the window and got
- 11:48Speaker 3: rid of him and light the candles and then that
- 11:52Speaker 3: then we put the speakers in there. So it was
- 11:54Speaker 3: a really it was a sort of When I think
- 11:56Speaker 3: about it, it gives me a lot of pleasure to
- 11:58Speaker 3: think about all those things. Because it was desperate or die.
- 12:01Speaker 3: It was just youthful and vibrant and just so ignorant
- 12:06Speaker 3: and brilliant, you know, amazingly ignorant. Like I didn't know
- 12:09Speaker 3: what I was fighting for. That's the best thing about
- 12:11Speaker 3: being young. You fight, but you don't know who you're
- 12:14Speaker 3: fighting or what you're fighting for, right, you know, I
- 12:17Speaker 3: was just a I wasn't rebellious like I. One was
- 12:20Speaker 3: getting in trouble and steaming cars, but I was in
- 12:22Speaker 3: I was rebellious psychologically.
- 12:25Speaker 2: Right.
- 12:35Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's shift gears a little bit. Let's talk
- 12:37Speaker 1: about your new show, Dinner with Gavin Rossdale. What what
- 12:41Speaker 1: inspired this?
- 12:42Speaker 3: I think predominantly the main the main thing was was
- 12:46Speaker 3: really it was a desire to have a voice. You know,
- 12:50Speaker 3: I felt a little voiceless, you know, I felt a
- 12:52Speaker 3: little Yeah, I felt a little voiceless. And I think
- 12:58Speaker 3: that's what happens, you know with musicians who make rack gords.
- 13:01Speaker 3: You do some interviews which you're edited and you're cut
- 13:05Speaker 3: up for their benefit. So do people get a sense
- 13:08Speaker 3: of you? I was always wasn't sure if I'd come
- 13:12Speaker 3: across writing interviews, and then as time went on, you know,
- 13:17Speaker 3: when definitely, when press receded and no one gave an interviews,
- 13:20Speaker 3: no one really cares that much about read. That was
- 13:23Speaker 3: all the social media and podcasts, you know, now, So
- 13:26Speaker 3: I just thought, if you know, I wanted to stay
- 13:30Speaker 3: hung because I wanted to be with my boys. I
- 13:33Speaker 3: don't have to always leave to make a living that,
- 13:35Speaker 3: by the way, haven't achieved. I still have to leave
- 13:37Speaker 3: if you want to make a living, you know. And
- 13:39Speaker 3: this food, sure, this present time is more than a
- 13:43Speaker 3: labor of love.
- 13:43Speaker 2: You know.
- 13:44Speaker 3: I better on myself, you know, I you know, funded
- 13:48Speaker 3: it myself to start with, and so I'm knuckled deep
- 13:53Speaker 3: in it, as they say. And I have skin in
- 13:54Speaker 3: the game. I wore the skin in the game out
- 13:56Speaker 3: of my whole body in the game. So it was
- 14:00Speaker 3: just this opportunity to do that. But that began, like
- 14:02Speaker 3: you know, many years ago, and I shot the pilots
- 14:05Speaker 3: and I just everyone who saw it loved it except
- 14:07Speaker 3: any commissioning editors. No one would make it. It was
- 14:10Speaker 3: like my music career, no one will sign me. So
- 14:13Speaker 3: to have to hang on and continue to try and
- 14:15Speaker 3: evolve and not take it personally. Don't take no personally,
- 14:20Speaker 3: you know. That's what I was trying to do, right
- 14:23Speaker 3: And you know, I had three production companies three, probably
- 14:27Speaker 3: maybe four. The first guy failed, then three subsequent Yes,
- 14:31Speaker 3: actually this is the fourth production company that needed another
- 14:34Speaker 3: production company to finalize the deal. It's like TV blow
- 14:38Speaker 3: your brains out. It's just a fucking madness. So apparently
- 14:41Speaker 3: I needed another producer to go with the fourth producer.
- 14:44Speaker 3: I had to make it happen. But you do what
- 14:48Speaker 3: you need to make it happen, and you just like, yeah, so,
- 14:52Speaker 3: I just it's it's a weird one for me. But
- 14:56Speaker 3: I you know, I've always had this ability a bit
- 14:58Speaker 3: to cook. I don't really know why, you know. I
- 15:00Speaker 3: don't do many things, you know, it's music, my family,
- 15:05Speaker 3: my girlfriend, music, tennis, I don't know. But cooking I love,
- 15:12Speaker 3: you know, So I I have a real passion for it.
- 15:14Speaker 3: And I love that and I love that you cook.
- 15:16Speaker 3: I just like a dude at his house who cooks
- 15:20Speaker 3: for people he loves if they let you know, you
- 15:23Speaker 3: know what I mean. That's as convoluted as it is.
- 15:26Speaker 3: And you know, the food is not really the central
- 15:28Speaker 3: thing of the show. It's really secondary. It's like a subplot.
- 15:32Speaker 3: It's not a cooking show at all. I just happen
- 15:35Speaker 3: to cook. Just that's the sort of the backdrop. That's
- 15:38Speaker 3: the that's the subplot in there.
- 15:40Speaker 1: So you have Serena Williams on one episode, Common Brookshields,
- 15:45Speaker 1: Jack McBriar, others, and you get into these these these conversations.
- 15:51Speaker 3: I have a good dinner with it.
- 15:52Speaker 1: You're having dinner.
- 15:54Speaker 3: I try to have a great dinner with them, you know,
- 15:56Speaker 3: and and and there's no it's just so embarrassing that
- 16:01Speaker 3: I can even do it where I can say, yeah,
- 16:03Speaker 3: I got six cameras, but I'm just gonna be myself,
- 16:06Speaker 3: you know, to cook. I've got six cameras, but I
- 16:09Speaker 3: don't like what it may say about me because it
- 16:13Speaker 3: doesn't really bother me. But I think it's just it's
- 16:18Speaker 3: being incredible. I'm so grateful to all of them because
- 16:22Speaker 3: what a leap of faith for them that I wasn't
- 16:25Speaker 3: going to totally up for them. That's the way I like.
- 16:28Speaker 3: I'm like because all the way along that my achilles
- 16:31Speaker 3: heel about the show from the get go was did
- 16:35Speaker 3: I could I figure six interesting people that would agree
- 16:39Speaker 3: to do the show? You know, that was the biggest challenge.
- 16:41Speaker 3: I knew I would always show up. I knew I
- 16:43Speaker 3: could cook all day long. You know, it's gonna be fine,
- 16:47Speaker 3: and I knew Jesse, who directed it, is going to
- 16:50Speaker 3: you know, make it look beautiful. But we didn't have
- 16:53Speaker 3: is the assurance that you could commit to people, because
- 16:55Speaker 3: you imagine getting people's schedules aligned. There were people that said, yeah, sure,
- 16:59Speaker 3: they'd love to do it, but they couldn't find a date.
- 17:03Speaker 3: So people said yes, but deferred, you know, to another season.
- 17:09Speaker 3: So yeah, that was the challenge. So that to me,
- 17:11Speaker 3: I sit in awe and gratitude that I feel like
- 17:15Speaker 3: I got away with it by you know, I hope
- 17:18Speaker 3: that if we get to season two, it's easier because
- 17:21Speaker 3: people see the format and see what it looks like,
- 17:24Speaker 3: and it's just basically a way for also those people
- 17:29Speaker 3: to be heard and listened to in a way that
- 17:33Speaker 3: I think because I'm not a professional interviewer obviously, you know,
- 17:38Speaker 3: you know, it's just me beingquisitive about how they how
- 17:41Speaker 3: they get to where they who, you know, how they become,
- 17:45Speaker 3: who they have become, and whatever their journey is.
- 17:48Speaker 1: So what is your favorite British dish that you prepare
- 17:53Speaker 1: or is it not British?
- 17:57Speaker 3: Well, I mean I try to know as I cook
- 18:00Speaker 3: all the time. I've really got to try and be dynamic,
- 18:04Speaker 3: you know, and I don't have a I mean, my
- 18:07Speaker 3: eleven year old just just have the last portion he
- 18:11Speaker 3: can ever think of for a moment, of spaghetti bolonnaise
- 18:14Speaker 3: or Gweny bolonnaies because all he would eat. So I
- 18:17Speaker 3: would always make a bolannaise for him. I can make
- 18:20Speaker 3: a bolognaise with my eyes that comes out great. But
- 18:24Speaker 3: thank god, he's like, you know what he sends to me,
- 18:27Speaker 3: Penny vod because my new favorite dad got it. So
- 18:32Speaker 3: I try not to repeat myself. But one thing that's
- 18:34Speaker 3: orders consistent when I go back to is a full
- 18:37Speaker 3: English roast. So that's with the Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes,
- 18:42Speaker 3: the rib of beef, some crazy demiglass sauce, crazy vegetables,
- 18:47Speaker 3: and I'm going to make some desserts, I mean just recently,
- 18:52Speaker 3: which is a bit skined of going to be getting
- 18:53Speaker 3: really into making desserts. So I never really used to
- 18:55Speaker 3: be into that, and in fact, the show made me
- 18:58Speaker 3: sort of get more focused on that. But I justn't
- 19:01Speaker 3: be worried I'd be like the size of the house
- 19:02Speaker 3: if I became too proficient. Look, I guess I made
- 19:07Speaker 3: you to me like seventeen seventeen. I guess against and meanwhile,
- 19:11Speaker 3: I'm like blowing up like a michelin man. You know.
- 19:14Speaker 1: It's I have a ten year old that I love
- 19:16Speaker 1: cooking for him.
- 19:17Speaker 2: He loved.
- 19:17Speaker 1: We're we're experimenting with different marin arisauces because he can
- 19:21Speaker 1: literally eat like a mountain of pasta. It's I can't
- 19:24Speaker 1: eat that much this kid, and he never gains weight.
- 19:27Speaker 1: It's it's just wild. I don't think there's anything that
- 19:32Speaker 1: brings me greater joy than than cooking for my family,
- 19:36Speaker 1: my wife and my son. It's just my favorite time
- 19:39Speaker 1: of day is five o'clock and I start prepping. I
- 19:42Speaker 1: just I love it and I like to drag it
- 19:44Speaker 1: out as long as I.
- 19:45Speaker 3: Possibly the same. Yeah, I because I don't.
- 19:49Speaker 1: I don't like to travel that much anymore. I want
- 19:51Speaker 1: to be with him and I want to be with her,
- 19:53Speaker 1: and I just I just, you know, I'm kind of like,
- 19:55Speaker 1: all right, I'm over it now. I did it for
- 19:57Speaker 1: so many years, and it's like, okay, I.
- 19:59Speaker 3: Haven't go up yet. I'm still traveling. I am too.
- 20:03Speaker 1: I can't get out of it.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I mean it's quite it's intense. I mean, it's funny.
- 20:08Speaker 3: These lives that we have, you know, are being really reflective.
- 20:12Speaker 3: It's weirt because you know, I think about it, my
- 20:13Speaker 3: son's going into music and the challenges they'll have. I
- 20:26Speaker 3: have a new record coming that is about to come
- 20:28Speaker 3: out called I Beat Loneliness and Nice and that's coming
- 20:33Speaker 3: out wherever the next couple of months.
- 20:37Speaker 1: You excited about the tour, Yes, you're gonna take You're
- 20:40Speaker 1: gonna take your boys with you.
- 20:42Speaker 3: Well that's the only downside. Yeah, I can't take them
- 20:44Speaker 3: to Canada because or South America because they're in school
- 20:47Speaker 3: at that time, right, and those aren't the tours to
- 20:50Speaker 3: take them. And then I would take it in North America.
- 20:53Speaker 3: I have the I get my own bus just to
- 20:57Speaker 3: have them and sort of squander most of my way.
- 21:00Speaker 3: I'm getting a bus. It's so dumb, like buses are
- 21:05Speaker 3: so expensive three times as money as much money as
- 21:08Speaker 3: they were three times.
- 21:09Speaker 1: And the drivers can't drive as many hours now, right.
- 21:13Speaker 3: Right, So you get three sides as much for less value. Yeah,
- 21:16Speaker 3: I got my old driver. Back in the day, they
- 21:19Speaker 3: would like because they'd get over drives, they'd get overdrives.
- 21:22Speaker 3: So not naming any names, but you know there's some
- 21:25Speaker 3: some you know some some Bolivian drives across the cross
- 21:29Speaker 3: state lines.
- 21:35Speaker 2: Are you playing California?
- 21:36Speaker 3: There's terrified when I think back that bus hurtling at
- 21:39Speaker 3: eighty miles an hour. I had a crash last summer
- 21:43Speaker 3: with my boys on the bus. My bus driver passed
- 21:45Speaker 3: out seventy miles an hour across the divide. We could
- 21:50Speaker 3: have been killed easily across the divide. When the other
- 21:53Speaker 3: side of the of the freeway, I don't know it
- 21:57Speaker 3: was I think it was five in the morning. Yeah,
- 22:00Speaker 3: and he crashed, hit a pole and then went back
- 22:03Speaker 3: up and then hit a pole. It was like, we
- 22:05Speaker 3: have to change the buses. That we were lucky to
- 22:07Speaker 3: say this. They would have been you know, the TV
- 22:12Speaker 3: show would have been huge, The record would have been huge.
- 22:15Speaker 3: You know, it would be my legacy. But he did
- 22:18Speaker 3: all this and he died and so at least he
- 22:21Speaker 3: left us this TV show in his last record.
- 22:24Speaker 2: You know.
- 22:25Speaker 3: Now, luckily I destroyed that marketing plan because my kids
- 22:29Speaker 3: are on the bus. It was like, my kids, thank god,
- 22:31Speaker 3: slept through it right because he hit the pole and
- 22:35Speaker 3: the bus came to a slow but he because he
- 22:38Speaker 3: woke up at the end and on the driver's camp.
- 22:41Speaker 3: It never gave us the cam back because he's passing
- 22:45Speaker 3: out seven seven seventeen miles now. He he when we
- 22:50Speaker 3: when I saw him when we got off the bus
- 22:51Speaker 3: and he was talking to the police and he's sitting
- 22:53Speaker 3: there and he with the ambers his days. First of all,
- 22:56Speaker 3: he never got back on the bus. He never drove
- 22:58Speaker 3: a bus again. He retired there and then he said
- 23:01Speaker 3: I'm done. He said, I'm so sorry for the danger
- 23:03Speaker 3: I put you and your family in. And I never
- 23:06Speaker 3: saw him again. He'd quit driving. He never drove the
- 23:08Speaker 3: bus again. They came, someone picked up the bus and
- 23:11Speaker 3: we got on the band bus and we're like, wow,
- 23:15Speaker 3: we just literally escaped death. Well we went on the
- 23:18Speaker 3: wrong way on the freeway with the diver's sleep. It's crazy.
- 23:24Speaker 2: Are you going to play?
- 23:25Speaker 1: You play in California? Is there a tour stop somewhere
- 23:27Speaker 1: in La?
- 23:28Speaker 3: I hope so. But I got to say, I did
- 23:30Speaker 3: look at it, and I didn't see California. Oh yeah,
