• 2:29
  Speaker 2: able to go over steas and do some touring. I
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: mean the day before you you made it something, we
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: were playing in front of two people in Lawrence, Kansas
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: who thought we were smash mouth.

• 2:57
  Speaker 4: else because Virald just it'sreks, like give a fuck?
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, do we connect me? The roads of the music
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: a combination.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Uh, the combination. I mean I learned this from Akadaca.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You take the music very seriously. You do not take
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: yourself seriously at all that's that's the formula, you know.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: So uh, I mean I I I've loved Angus since
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I was nine years old and and uh yeah, you know,
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: he's an example to me of how to do it right.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it's a different world these days.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: It's uh not everybody gets their their shot at an
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: arena rock the way that they the way that they
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: did it. But you know, it's a it's it's a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: forever example. And I always thought to myself when I
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: was a little kid watching him on TV, man, if
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I could do any version of that, I'll be okay,
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: that would be a good life.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And it is. I'll tell you what.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: So does that mean to begin to get a strip
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: back acoustic version of Thunderstruck?
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: No?
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: No, but uh possibly something off powerage.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: It's actually along those launch by like what can we
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: expect from you? Like at he with all my from
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: ever Clay you've done the wait it's full show of
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: it you acoustically low what can we expeak?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: So we developed it myself and Gabrielle. We developed it
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: over the course of a year.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And really what it is is we're telling the whole
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: story of the song. We're taking requests. By the way,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: there's no set list. You call them, we play them.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: That's how it works. And essentially we tell we tell
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the story of how the song came to be. And
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out there who you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: in addition to the teenage dirt bag click, which is
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: we love those people, but there's some people who've been
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: waiting to hear songs on our other.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Records for years and years and years and never got
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the chance.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: And so not only are you going to get the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: chance to call the one they want and hear me
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: play it, but also I'll explain it to him, see
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: what was going on at the time, where it came from,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: what the thought process was, how it evolved, anything they
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: want to know, really and just have a real you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: no rules, kind of just conversational story based set based
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: on based.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: In what you guys want. You know, you call it,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we play it, we talk about it.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: The crowded obviously love that because they're getting to sign
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: what you buy it. From your perspective, Jay By, well
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: that must be great because you get different to your course.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: You're gonna have your call songs that you'd actually be
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: reliving that whole process night off to night, wouldn't you
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: People ask you about.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It, Yeah, because you can't rehearse it.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: I mean, you can rehearse the song, but you can't
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: rehearse remembering the story because you don't know which one is.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Coming that night.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: So you got to be on your toes and you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: be honest and and go back into your memory right
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: in front of people, right then and there as if
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you're on.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The spot, you know.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And that's and that's the that's the glory of it.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: We love doing that. That's a much more interesting show.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The other thing is I never really liked the idea
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: as an artist of showing up and telling people these
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: are the songs on the setlist that you're gonna hear tonight.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That's it, you know. I never I never felt good
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: about that.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: I felt like, well, what if that's not the kind
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of set that they need that night? You know what
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: if they need something else. They're always going to get
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: their teenage jar bag and their lemonade and their leroy
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: than the little respect. That's always gonna happen. That's a guarantee.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: But you know, Phil, in the rest of the show, the.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Emotional content, the way people remember it, for the rest
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: of their lives.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That's kind of a thing I think they should determine.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: They should they should call that shot right, because what
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: if they didn't have the kind of day that I had.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It's more important what kind of day they had. It's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: more important what they're going through, what they're thinking of
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: right now, and that's that always makes the show much more.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I would call it customized.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: You know, it's like a It's like a customized show
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: for that particular audience.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Couldn't happen another way.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen another way any other night.
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: That's it.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know, it's their show.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: Have you ever been court all it's anyone ever caught
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: out a song and you just like drawed a blank
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: and just.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Got like, no, no, never never drawn a blank on
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: one of my own songs.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Up flubbs some I made some.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I made some I made some clams on stage in
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: front of people instead instead of playing a song. But
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I'll get through it, you know, I'll figure it out.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: We have the whole month of December to really work
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: over the catalog and make sure we know what we're doing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: So you know we're gonna be doing that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: Myself and Guyriel, it's it's it's just an exercise and
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: knowing your ship.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: You know, you wrote it, you know, don't you know
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: what to play it. It's kind of like you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: that's that's it. I mean, you know this responsibility time.
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Time you mentioned like when the crowd's sitting it out
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: to you, like you're getting set list tail into how
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they're feeling on the night and what they're expressing. But
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: from your point of view, bro, like just say you
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: turned up for a show and you've had a shitty day.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: You don't seem you can't get into it.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Like what do you actually do to psych yourself up
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and make sure you still put on a good show.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And and.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: In Pennsylvania two nights ago. The night before that, I
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: was in hospital for for twelve hours with diverticulatus because
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: I'm an old man.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But you know, we you know, we rehearsed the next day.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: A little bit in the afternoon, I was limping around
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and I drove the band and the van and trailed
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to Pennsylvania.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: We loaded it up and drove it to Pennsylvania, and I.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Walked around the venue just looking people in the eye, saying,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: what do you want to hear what kind of what
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: kind of night you want this to be and getting
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: a picture of what, you know, what they were, what
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they were vibing, and that that brought me up to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: a level where like, Okay, this is what they want,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: you know, and if it's that clear, it kind of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: feeds the adrenaline in a very specific way.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Right, instead of just like I'll just get up there
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and wing it.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: That's not You're you're communicating with people, You're having a
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: conversation and you know you're gonna you're gonna let them
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: tell you how to do it. And that's that's what
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: brings me to that level, even no matter how shitty
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: I don't feeling.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: You know, now you mentioned that you've got your partner
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Gabrielle with you.
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: I just want to throw a hypothetical question out you here,
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: like just say, just before the gig, you could get
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: to put the toilet set up and she's got the
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: ships when she comes out, But.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Does that affect the dynamics of the performance.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Listen, I have never left the toilet's feed up and
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I never will.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I don't do that.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Man, Put that fucking toilet seat down, you slob motherfuckers.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: I'm calling all guys out on this right now, right here.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You could put that seat down. You need to put
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: that seat down.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Disgusting the roll out. Put your fucking toilet seat.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Can fucking how hard does it? Grow up your fucking slobs.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: You won't say good.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: The original Faunidy member and guitarists from Waders is now
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: with the Chats Price. He joined you ontour mat So
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: is he just doing his own thing or is he
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: going to be playing with you?
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: He know he's gonna be doing his own thing, which
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I'm quite looking forward to. You know, he's a friend
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: of a friend down there and as everybody is in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: the Australian music industry, and you know, we wanted to
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: have him come out and do his thing and I'm
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: looking forward to it. Man. You know it's going to
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: be a variety show because he's nothing like Gabriel and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Gabriel is nothing like me.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And then we have the weedst show, so it's you know,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: it's fun. It's gonna be fun.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: You must be a nice guy, though, bright like you
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: tour it with your pond and you've got an expand
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: bye playing with you. Most musicians just hate each other
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: when they finished off, but you see everyone see it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: love you.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: What's going on.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Well, we've had well I think it counts up above
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: thirty now members we've had in this band, touring members, and.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I have to say that what it's really based.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: On is just looking out for each other on the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: road and being respectful. We're not that into the whole
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: party scene. No drugs, no alcohol really take have ever
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: taken us over, And you know it kind of it's
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: about surviving and knowing that you want everybody to be
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: happy they showed up. And that goes for your band too.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, if the band isn't.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Happy, eventually you got a problem.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: And you know you can't do it if everyone's pissed
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: off and feels taken advantage of any of that stuff.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So you kind of kind of kind of keep that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: to a minimum.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: And you know the Carle was in in the band
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: in two thousand and seven, two thousand and eight, two
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: thousand and nine, twenty ten, some really tough touring that
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: she did with us, Carl Bruce from Cranella. She's she's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: going to be joining us for this one because she's
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: back in Australia these days. But We're so excited to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: see her because we were really did the time together.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we really did some hard time together in
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: some hard clubs and some dark years where there wasn't
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: anybody really paying attention, and we made those records together
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: during that time and did those tours together. And it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: really nice to be able to do something with her
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: like this where it's like a little bit more, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: things are stabilized a little bit if you will, you know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of like we're both looking forward to
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: seeing her and working with her again. But the truth
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: is that I'm friends with you know, almost everybody who's
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: come through the turnstile on this band. We still talk,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: we still hang out. I work with Phil Phil Jiminez
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: from the first version of the band, the guy with
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: the mohawk and the bananas and stuff. He's the one
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: who mixed the re record of Teenage Startbag Teenage twenty twenty.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So you know, we're still we're still we're still colleagues,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you know, still work together.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: It's taken eleven questions, mate, but I've got a serious
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: answer out of you.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: All right, Sorry, I won't do that again.
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: That's to feed out like funny is a big part
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: of WEE. This is part of your music, it's part
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: of your live show, it's part of your life.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: But when you're like I saw you.
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: Were Pandemidium this year and it was just the whole
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: feeling that came from the stage out of the crowd
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: was just it was warm because you made it so
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: fun on stage. But when you do on an acoustics
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: show as opposed to a full band show, is it
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: dynamics different for you? Like you have to approach it
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: differently with that sense of humor because it's sort of
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: you haven't got as many people to bounce off.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I guess actually, in some ways it's easier because you
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: can tell more stupid jokes about yourself and be more
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: self deprecating, you know, and you have a little bit
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: of the longer sets here, have more opportunities to fuck
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: up and fall on your face. So I mean, you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: it's it basically, it's the way it's said before. You
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: take the music as seriously as you possibly can, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: don't take yourself seriously at all, And that's and that's
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: where the warmth comes from. We are very genuinely lucky
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: and feel that every time we step on stage, that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: we can do this for a living. It's crazy, seems
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: like a big you know, with all that's going on
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: in the world today, playing music seems like a frivolous
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: easy job. And I'm not gonna lie Aaron Knights when
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: it's really hard. But it ain't as hard as you know,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: carrying a rocksack across Ukraine or something like that. And
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: we and we have it, We have that in our
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in our hearts all the time, that there's that there's
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: real suffering in the world, or what's going on in Palestine.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Sorry. Wadi's also recently released the debut album as an
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: epic twenty song expanded edition.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Like I said, that was a reception that I did it.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Did you find it brought new people under the band
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: or was it it's more old fans in the top out?
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: No, it was so awesome. It was so wonderful. Actually
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: was it was both. It was like everybody kind of
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: got it.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Well, whoever loved the first record, they got ten extra
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: songs that were hiding in the closet since then, and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you know, we finally got them out to people.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: So they got the extra meal. You know, they got
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the extra goods.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: And then if you were new to us, you maybe
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: didn't understand exactly how much music we've put out over
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: the years. I think there's like eighty some odd tracks
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: in the weaedst catalog streaming right now. And you know,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: it's our goal to be able to deliver all that
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: music to anybody who wants to hear it. And you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: like I said, you get your Teenage dirtbeg, but you
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: also get a lot of lot of other things that
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: you might be interested in.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: And you know, we don't ever phone it in.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: We take a long time to make a record because
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: we try to make every song really just like do
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: something special, you know, like not not phone it in.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it was. It was way better
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: received than I thought.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It would be, way better. We had Rolling Stone wrote
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: about it and stuff. It was like, wow, man, what's
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: going on? This is crazy?
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: You know, and it was.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: It was joyful.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: And now the only how I should say that, because
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: we did that, the only multi track version of Teenage
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: DIRTPEG that exists anymore is the new one. The old
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: one has been lost, it seems. So you know, we're
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: we're we're reborn somehow, and it's been. One of the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: reasons is that record that was a pain in the
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: ask to make, but we finished it.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: You know, you mentioned that track being lost fight and
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: the pressure release leads to extra lost tracks over the years.
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: But what I would to know is, in this modern
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: day and age, how the fuck does anyone lose a song?
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: A really good question, man.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: I handed four whole five, eventually five whole copies of
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: the multi track over to the label, and each of
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: them had I was wrapped in a piece of paper
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that said back this up to pro tools and tape
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: as soon as you get it, you know, And nobody
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: did that. So I regret not overseeing that process myself
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: back in the day. But I did deliver five redundant
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: copies and they are all gone.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: It seems no one can find them.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Rolling Stone got ghosted by the label when they asked
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: the questions, So it's a you know, it's one of
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: those things. It's like, I don't know how you do it,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: but somebody seems to have done, you know, due it
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: wasn't you, It wasn't me.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: Before you started a new segment towards foto Bomb, which
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: basically means before I talk to you, wat tro all
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: your social media caps to come up with fotos, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: I went about him. Okay, the first one I've come
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: up with is this one from the.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Ooh yeah, wow, Spider Nate Web that's my buddy right there.

• 16:32

• 16:42
  Speaker 2: New York City, UH to play him into the ring,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and then I had to wind up jumping in the
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: ring to save him.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: It was wild. It was a wild night.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: And you know I gave the MJF a DDT that night.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: And I don't think he's ever recovered. I mean he's
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: still he still looks a little crooked from.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: That that one.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: What the fuck's a m j F for? What's the
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: d d G?
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: My wrestling friends will know. Google that ship, Google that ship.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Very cool, a little fit.
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: This runs a bit of a three potter, but I'll
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: give you the main part first. This shot here man
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: like this was taken by sw Photography and Media back
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: in two thousand nine. Name but something like that man, Like,
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: what some feeling do you get being out in the
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: crowd and doing that with them all around you?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Well, I gotta tell you, I don't remember that one.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: That's a wild one right there.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Well, so there were there were nights where I, uh,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I've run out into the crowd, and that seems to
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: have been one of them. I don't know where though.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: It might be Minneapolists. Maybe maybe it's Minnesota, but it
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: looks like I might be in a state of how
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: do I say this, being grabbed somewhere.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: I'm not here to me.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Glit of that, but that's something that you that does
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: happen sometimes when you run into the crowd and there's
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: drunk people out there. So anyway, uh, yeah, I h
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I had a good show after that. I'm not sure.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure when and where that was that. I
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: must admit, that's a funny one.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Has it never gone completely payshape for you?
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: Let you go out in the crowd and someone pulls
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: your cord out or someone.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Nah, No, it's never it's never gone completely downhill.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: It's gotten a little weird, but most people are respectful,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you know, they want to see what's going to happen.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't want to stop it.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: But you know, before we go on, I should point
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: out that that wasn't a challenge for everybody out there.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: It was just a general question.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Well, don't whatever is happening in this photo, don't do it.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I wanted to see down a couple of people in
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: despite I might get your opinions.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, looks like she's having a ball.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah she could.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: She literally cannot believe what's going on, and maybe she
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: knows something I don't. That's that's what I'd be worried
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: about now looking at her.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: This one here doesn't look like she gives a fuck.
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: Nah, she's on her social media talking about another band.
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: She's probably on there going like I can't believe I
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: got two with five minutes five meters of Brendan.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: But have stayed off to Phane, she probably would have
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: been able to give you a hug and sing with you.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, she's texting her of friends at the Cold
• 19:25
