So are you guys gonna see some sets here at Rock Olahoma while you're here? Do you do you have some bands you want to see? Well, they're they're flying Hector and Pedro flying back out tomorrow. We got I think four or five six interviews, so I don't think they're gonna catch anyone other than tonight. I wanted to see Blackstone and maybe Daughtry, but we're heading out too, so I'm probably mess everybody. Yeah, you know, I think people don't realize that they look at musicians and like, oh what a life, you know, and they get to hang out and party and watch all the bands. Head's like what, No, I'm like, I don't know, I don't know. Wake me up when I get there, I know, right, most bands don't even know which place they're at. Half the time. It was funny at blood st it wasn't so fight for Bloodstock. Two bands called it the wrong festival, and big bands they're like, hello Alcatraz, Nope, it's download spinal tap right, somebody else, You're not Cleveland dude, right, And that's exactly what

5:20 the first one. He was like, hello, Download and like Download and Bloodstock are rivals. You know. It's like yeah and that day like two times, but then said good night Bloodstock. So we're not really sure if he was doing off purpose or not. But hey, listen, when you go around and do what you guys do, like it all just swirls around in your head anyway. You don't even like it's like you can't even remember which places which after time because you're going one to the other. Am I right? Yeah? Like you said sometimes right, were really stands out as when we have a good audience, you know, and usually festivals they are you know, it is a good turnout. Yeah, but we play some festivals. There was this court fields and there's nobody there, right, and that was cool about your set man, first show it to day people are like people at this festival, some of them don't even come in here because they're too busy, parky partying in the campgrounds. But that place was packed for you guys. I walked down. I was like, that's pretty good.

6:27 I was. I wasn't expected that, you know, being the first band. Yeah, and Thursday night, you know, like some people aren't even here yet. But even compared to last year, out in the campground. There's like ten times more people out there on the Thursday than it was last year. It's like amazing, Yeah you did. Oh yeah. I was walking around watching everybody because I like to see how they're reacting. They were like so into it, which is cool. I love it. So it's better than them throwing shit at us. That's great, I know, right, we don't like that scares us. Oh yeah, So what you guys got going on? After this? We're off? We got two shows at October Fest in Florida. We're headlining. I can't remember the days.

7:21 And then we got so we're off until October, which is gonna be cool. Nice. I love it. So one story that's like the craziest story that you guys have had in your musical journey. What would it be? I'm not saying that I'm married now, you know. That reminded me of when I interviewed Leonard Skinner and Gary Rossington said when we fucked the Spice Girls backstage. He goes, wait, edit that up. You can't ask a shit like that. We're all married, right, that's right. It all happened before we were married. The crazy shit there you go, So name one story that your wives know about. See we came and go there, Canley, I can. I can tell you a story that happened to me.

8:24 This is earlier in my career. It was in another original band back in Florida, back end the day, and the place is full. Was this the station? As we're promoting the show for months and uh so it's packed, you know, and we were headlining it. So I go out there, you know, being all cockey. Oh and our crowd's going crazy. The first song that I wrote, I completely blanked out and they play the entire song without me singing one line. Wow because that I just stood there just looking at the crowd, like, what do I do? Seeing now, you gotta do what David Lee Roth did. So I was at the US Festival in nineteen eighty three Van Helen's headline and they're playing they Can't Talk about Love and David's not singing, like, hey, he's looking over him, what's up? And David just said three hundred thousand fucking people, He goes, I fucking forgot the words and they all cheered like it was the best shit ever. It happens right right, Yeah, just do that.

9:28 And then one person hackled him and you know what he did, right, He goes, I'm gonna fuck your girlfriend, don't heckle David Lee Roth. Right, So give everybody your guys socials web how they can buy your merchant. You got so much cool fucking merchant, your merch boot. I never saw so much merch. It's cool as hell. So sis, boy, she's got it down. She's a beast because I mean, like it was a great and there were a lot of people over there during your set going. You know, usually they'll wait till afterwards. They were over there, like it was pretty busy. But that's the only way you guys survive is merch. Nowadays, you don't get paid ship for anything else. Good smart. We we do our own merch, you know.
