[00:01:52] Feeling that would be pretty sad if that was fulfilling for me. I mean whatever life is that simple? Filling satisfying same shit both wearing red shirts today. That's exactly Red shirts of a band of Chris rest Yeah, the sleeves finally had to come off my First and foremost

[00:02:15] Census everybody will be listening to this Right past the 4th of July. Hope everybody had a wonderful 4th Yes, fuck the British Yeah Celebrated accordingly. This is this is being recorded on the on the fifth. So It was actually a pretty uneventful 4th of July for

[00:02:37] For me, I don't know about for you, but I passed out at 8 30 last night and I woke up at 7 o'clock this morning That's okay. So You know get more uneventful than that got some got some day drinking down I see I Actually It was the first let's see

[00:02:56] Why was I so tired because I was I worked yesterday during the day And I for some reason I woke up whenever I when I work day shift my alarm goes off at 4 o'clock in the morning So I'm trying to be out of my house by like 4 30 4 45

[00:03:12] But for some reason I woke up at 3 in the morning couldn't fall back asleep. So I just went to work early Yeah, and so come like 8 o'clock at night. I was fucking exhausted mm-hmm

[00:03:23] I had three beers and I would just pass out on the couch. I'm like, I'm fucking going to bed And that was about when people started shooting fireworks off in the neighborhood I have two beagles and they're terrified. Well, one of them is terrified of fireworks

[00:03:37] So most of my fourth of July's are spent in my bedroom With the radio and fan on and the door shut Trying to convince my big old that the world is not ending see this is a I saw a thing the other day about dogs and fireworks

[00:03:54] But I had a good laugh at now. I'm convinced it says Your dog isn't scared of fireworks because of the loud noises your dog is Doing that because it hates freedom get a new dog Now Pedro rest in peace aka Ric Flair mm-hmm

[00:04:14] I would take him outside and we would watch people shoot bottle rockets up in the air And he would just stare at them. He did not give a fuck about

[00:04:22] Yeah, but yeah, see he didn't hate freedom. Yeah, he loved freedom. He was a freedom loving Ric Flair loving son of a bitch Oh look at you and there against it Radler. Oh, yeah, I know that thing refreshing. I know that care shandy. It's a shandy shandy

[00:04:37] Yeah, I know that can yep. What's it is Radler and shandy the same thing? They're so close. Yeah They're not the same thing because they you know, it's different words, but It's super close to the same maybe shandy is just lemon

[00:04:55] No, no, no, cuz you can have cuz I've seen like raspberry Radler's. Yeah, you can have all sorts of different Shandies. Yeah, this is a little bit different method. I think I think shandy's

[00:05:09] May typically have more alcohol in them than Radler's do or maybe it's the other way around I can't remember but they're both low 47 so it's like a regular beer

[00:05:21] Yeah, I think Radler's might be a little bit less. I think Radler's are usually in like the three. Yeah, I think you're right actually Yeah, I think I remember getting a Radler and drinking it and then looking at the bottom like it was like three something like

[00:05:33] Why'd I even buy this? I Should just bought a beer and ate a fucking raspberry popsicle as I was Yeah, cuz my my favorite shandy of all time which they don't make anymore but UFO brewery which used to just be part of harpoon It's Boston brewery

[00:05:55] UFO just used to be a series of beers They put out and then the people that were doing all the UFO stuff branched out and made their own brewery But when they were still a part of harpoon brewery, it's called their big squeeze

[00:06:09] UFO big squeeze shandy was a grapefruit a ruby red grapefruit shandy. Oh, so good. That was like the best Shandy of all time currently UFO has A raspberry wheat beer That's called razzwell. It's got a little aliens on it nice and I'm usually not a raspberry person

[00:06:32] Yeah, but that beer is like okay top five beers that I've discovered within the last year that Fucking beer is amazing if you can find it. Okay. Yeah UFO razzwell raspberry wheat beer. God damn. That's a good fucking beer

[00:06:47] And UFO consistently puts out one of our top pumpkin beers every year great. Yeah great brewery You know If you if you're feeling that you know, I'll always drink fucking fruity beers

[00:07:02] That's not really always a thing, you know, yeah people on here should know that by now Miller light guy Love my stouts, but if it's summertime and you're in the mood for a fruity beer

[00:07:13] You can't really go wrong with UFO. They are the best fruity beer brewery period There's not it's not even a fucking competition Yeah, they also have a blueberry one It's like a blueberry ale

[00:08:47] And a little bit of vanilla from the you know gotta have my Italian sweet cream. Hell, yeah That's my poor name That's right Sir next coming to the stage Italian sweet I love the I love plums too. It's one of my favorite things about the summer

[00:09:12] Oh, yeah, plums are amazing. I'm great. One of the best fruits. I yeah, we're very typical Typical we're very similar in our yeah our liking the fruit does that love fucking plums too. Oh, yeah We used to have a fucking plum tree

[00:09:28] Really? What I yeah, I was in as well as at my mom's boyfriend's house. So But yeah, he had a couple plum trees in an orchard and that was really cool going out and just picking plums off the fucking tree And eat them whenever I fucking want. Yeah

[00:09:43] Yeah, like to see as fuck to like sometimes I'm gonna tell those things they just explode all over your face Oh, I just remember like my mom coming in, you know, I'm in high school at this point

[00:09:53] My mom coming in which is like a basket full of plums like so many plums and I just eat as many as I wanted We have like two plum trees to peach trees. Oh What else can't do peaches? Really the fuzz oh

[00:10:12] Yeah, just saying it I have goosebumps right now We gonna Nectarines because nectarines are like peaches without the fuzz Yeah Well, yeah If you like if you like peel the outside of the peach off and cut it off and just eat the inside

[00:10:25] You probably could do that, huh? I can't but I'd have to touch the peach and it freaks me up Wouldn't that well, I mean if somebody did it for you, you know But I enjoy the crunch of the one of my favorite things about fruit is The

[00:10:43] Getting through that skin is the skin Fruit combination. It's a satisfying very it's a so I will eat peaches But I I won't I totally prefer nectarines because You know nectarines are amazing they are I actually think nectarines are in

[00:11:03] So they're all in the same family. I think plums peaches nectarines A nectarine is essentially a peach and a plum combined. Yeah, it really is actually I miss I miss having fucking fruit trees and just go pick shit off of that might change

[00:11:26] They tell you rock episode we've ever done so far. Oh my god. Yeah Favorite fruit We can speak of all that kind of shit I don't know We're turning the front yard of my house into an outdoor kitchen. Oh nice. Oh, yeah, and

[00:11:48] Maybe I'll maybe I'll plant some fucking peach tree or something or a plum tree out there why not Yeah, we're gonna have a fucking fire pit that we can cook like with a

[00:12:00] Fucking Dutch oven type thing like one of those big-ass cast iron pots. Do you have a huge front yard? I do? I don't have a backyard at all. Oh, you don't have it

[00:12:09] Oh, yeah, but your front yard is your front yard is fucking ginormous. Yeah. Yeah, it's not like ginormous ginormous But it's like big. Yeah First city at least right. Yeah, most people if

[00:12:22] If most people around here had the size backyard that my front yard is they'd be fucking stoked as fuck Yeah But yeah, but the back my backyard is like we look out the back like the window in my living room right here

[00:12:35] The fence is like a foot and a half from the window. That's my backyard It's enough for you to walk sideways through it. Yeah, there's like a little yeah

[00:12:47] I mean you wouldn't want to walk through there. Yeah, there's a bunch of poison ivy and shit back there, but Maybe one day I'll fucking get rid all that shit I don't know if I ever own this house

[00:13:01] Which I'm probably going to at some point. Um, I'll clean all that shit out and Completely fence in the the house and make a little walkway back there. So shit doesn't grow so you can actually walk behind the house But with the front yard

[00:13:16] There's like this old fucking brick smoker on the right side of my yard That when I first moved in it was completely covered up by English ivy and I ripped all the fucking ivy off of it Uh

[00:13:30] And then I used to use it. It's like a grill slash smoker. It looks like a giant throne made a brick Yeah, and then I stopped using it because my ex had bought a fucking gas grill or her dad bought us a gas grill and uh

[00:13:45] English ivy took it back over and then some poison ivy is on it as well now So I got to get rid of all that because There's this giant hole in the ground right next to it That I just years of shit. I gotta fill that in

[00:13:59] And I'm gonna get all that fucking ivy out of there and put like six pieces of slate down next to the grill and and get um I'm gonna build a workbench and get one of my buddies who does word work to to make a countertop

[00:14:10] That's just a cutting board Nice So I can have the fucking I'll get the smoker back and a grill back and put like a little fucking kitchen station next to it And then build a fucking fire pit in the yard like in front of the smoker

[00:14:22] And set up one of the dutch oven things. So yeah, so most of our cooking will do fucking outside fucking oven Yeah, fuck a microwave We're just gonna fucking cook outside over an open fire and shit

[00:14:34] No, my my ex like her my ex's father. This is years and years ago, but he was a griller And whenever they had meat for dinner, which was almost every night

[00:14:45] It didn't matter if it was january february june july he was cooking that shit on the grill outside That's where he cooked the meat I'm I got my fucking grill back up and fucking running the gas one and we've been doing nothing but that

[00:15:00] I would much rather grill stuff Yeah 100% of the meat they made at home. It was him cooking on the grill outside no matter what Snowing, you know, whatever and we've got a ton of fucking cedar trees here nice too and so like

[00:15:19] Just cut some fucking cedar cut it, you know, some branches off and put it in the fire cooking over cedar wood Man, it does something to your food it's It's fucking amazing like if you've never cooked food over a like

[00:15:35] Cedar campfire like you're missing out because when we went camping this last time You know a giant section of the tree one of those cedar trees had fallen Like this huge huge branch, you know, it's like

[00:15:48] As big as a trunk of some trees. Yeah, and they'd all got cut up into logs and I just piled them You know in the log pile over by my fucking fanciness has slowly been

[00:15:58] Burned them. They're they're gone now this last time we went camping. We took the last three with us Yeah, that's what we do when we camp we just bring like three cedar logs with us and whenever we cook we'd

[00:16:08] Burn one of the cedar lugs and it's just the chicken we made this last time camping was Some of the best fucking shit I have ever had my entire life. Yeah, it also helps that I found the best marinade For like chicken thighs of all time

[00:16:24] This is so punk rock. Yeah, but yeah, this is Hey, you know, there's an old punk rocker. So this this matters. There's also a thing out there called punk rock foodies in the world That's real. That's right But yeah that um That asian ginger dressing

[00:16:40] It's called like macodo or whatever miyaka or macot. I think it's yeah, that's my favorite dressing It's my favorite dressing that They they have a honey ginger one now as well. Okay, the red label instead of the black label. Well either one If you marinate chicken thighs

[00:16:56] In that shit overnight and then grill them the next day that is some of the best fucking Chicken you will ever have I never thought to use that for marinade. Oh my god. It's so fucking good I will buy vegetables just so I could eat that dressing

[00:17:10] Yeah, and I'll cut them up I'll cut up slices and I'll use that dressing as like a dip. I'll put it in a bowl And I'll scoop like pepper like red pepper because you know red peppers have those divots anyway

[00:17:20] And I'll just I'll use it like a dip that dressing is fucking amazing I'm gonna I'm gonna tell everyone my secret because it's not really that much of a secret but like what you said so Save a little bit of it left in

[00:17:33] In the bottle after you pour it in a bag or a bowl with the chicken sit overnight in that ship And then before you put them on the grill make a little concoction um, you get a brush Melt a bunch of butter and in the butter

[00:17:49] You put the rest of the dressing that you saved Uh a few dashes of worst Shire sauce That's pronounced correctly And uh A little bit of Tony's Creole seasoning If you can find it Some gochujang sauce a couple drops of gochujang sauce This is my new things that

[00:18:16] I love gochujang sauce. I used to do this with a one But I switched out the a one for gochujang sauce because it's just fucking phenomenal Yeah, no trader joe's brand gochujang sauce is out fucking standing on barbecue. Um and then uh a couple

[00:18:32] Oh and uh just like a little drop or two of just any kind of barbecue sauce like sweet baby rays or something And you put that in the melted butter along with the rest of your ginger dressing mix that up and then when you fucking cooked You know

[00:18:45] Chicken you just constantly brush the chicken with that until it's fucking gone. Keep flipping it. Yeah, and boom You will have some of the best fucking chicken grilled chicken you have ever had. I shit you not I believe it I Love grilling

[00:19:01] Yeah, I don't I don't have a grill. I don't I don't know I suck but um I do make my own dressing Do I use olive oil lemon juice? Crushed garlic and salt and pepper. I just keep it simple

[00:19:15] I just have like a bottle of it when I do like a fresh seafood salad. So I'll take like a Yeah, like shrimp calamari scallops And I'll I'll cook all that shit mussels clams and then I'll chill them

[00:19:33] And I'll just take all of it and toss it with that homemade dressing the olive oil salt pepper garlic and lemon juice And that's a salad. That's it. It's just like a bowl of like fresh seafood chopped up cold With that

[00:19:46] And I'm trying to perfect it before this year's Um seven fishes because I want that to be my appetizer this year Oh my god, we gotta come do the seven fishes with you this year. It has to happen. It will I need seven fishes in my life

[00:20:01] And that salad sounds amazing too. Yeah it's so easy to make and a lot it's just like it's just and I don't know some people might think cold seafood sounds gross but Uh, no, it's not It's just chilled like

[00:20:16] I don't even know if you can consider it just seafood or whatever but fucking um I love sushi and sushi me. Yeah, I just had some today. Yeah, we went to Wegmans and I we picked up we went to like got some sushi from Wegmans

[00:20:30] Just uh, what is it? What is the call without no right? It's just a fish. Is that sashimi or is that sushi? Uh, the sushi me is Just the raw fish nothing else. Okay. That's what I got. So she I just got tuna sashimi and salmon sashimi

[00:20:46] yeah, the Sushi rolls, you know, uh self-explanatory. But yeah, sashimi is just just the fish. Yeah, which I love a lot Yeah, that's what I had it. That was my lunch today. Yeah, I love it all. I always have to get octopus too

[00:21:03] Which in japanese octopus is taco. So Yep makes me like it even more. Do you remember that scab and um scoff laws Hmm, I don't from Long Island. They were really big in the 90s scoff laws. Hmm, but they have a song where they just shot out

[00:21:24] names of sushi anyway If you know, you know look at up the scoff laws So we have reached over a thousand followers on instagram I saw it saw today. We hit a thousand and two And that's all organic. So I'm very proud of that Yeah I saw that

[00:21:49] Thank you chris rest and uh barry because your two episodes got us a lot of followers for Just them sharing it And rkl and I don't think lag wagon shared it but lark hale definitely shared both episodes people really seem to like those episodes Yeah, so

[00:22:08] I mean how could you not it's rkl. They're making a couple. Yeah, you don't like rkl. I don't like you It's funny one of my questions for chris Was the um josh berlin question but He never went there and I just I didn't want to

[00:22:30] I didn't want to go there. So I don't know well, I think it's been I I would have said something too, but it's been it's been answered on other podcasts now It's been and we we all know the answer to this this it is that

[00:22:46] Josh Brolin played with them in some of those earlier years that chris was talking about before they officially became rkl Yeah, him and his friends. He played with them that so i'm sure there was probably some songs that josh played with them That became rkl songs, but

[00:23:05] Who knows if he played with bomber or not, right? I wish bomber is still alive He just I think of him as like the evil genius of funk rock. Yeah You know what I mean? Like in his lab crafting all these amazing songs

[00:23:22] I know now i'm like bill stevenson, but just crazier And now i'm like man, why couldn't I had a guy who was like you're looking at your shit and turn the lights off I mean it sounds terrible, but like

[00:23:41] No, you need people like that. Yeah shit like that happens. That's how you become like fucking elite at things, you know Yeah Yeah, I mean when you listen to rkl it's controlled chaos the whole like all of their songs are so close to not making sense Yeah

[00:23:58] Because there's so much craziness going on in every one of their fucking songs But at the same time it's so fucking tight. Yep that it's like what is happening Every time I was doing rkl something like what is this?

[00:24:10] And why is it the greatest thing I've ever heard of my life? Yeah, everybody is playing fucking out off their fucking just out of their fucking minds And it's all just insanity, but when it comes together it all makes sense and it's all fucking beautiful

[00:24:29] That's rkl. There's like this there's like this um video on youtube of them playing A show but it's not like a show It almost looks like they're just playing on a on like a access cable tv soundstage It's like from like 1987 or 1988. Um

[00:24:50] It's it's it's weird, but it's but it's cool and it's so 80s But that was like the first time Which lineup is that? It was like right after joe So oh so was bomber and jason and joe Is bomber on drums?

[00:25:08] Yeah, joe on bass jason singing chris raston barry. So the classic, you know, it's the Rock and roll nightmare. Yeah fucking lineup That was the first time that like I really understood

[00:25:25] What you're saying right now about like just the controlled chaos because they were always so very chaotic to me Just listening to it. But then when I saw that And I and I saw how tight they were playing live and I saw how much better

[00:25:39] It sounds live than it does on some of their early recordings. Yeah, I was like, holy shit like This is badass. Like yeah Yeah, they bring you a better the recordings They they bring when you listen to them. They bring you right to the cusp

[00:25:56] Of falling off the rails Yeah, and they never do and it's almost maddening because it's like how it's like you guys they live on that fucking line You know what I mean? Like like one step over and they suck But that's that's the goal though, right? Yeah

[00:26:12] Yeah, they are the band that achieved that goal They achieved it And they probably achieved it because of fucking bomber Yeah, yeah That's it not to take anything away from anybody else in the band because they're all fucking amazing musicians all of them

[00:26:28] But they probably can't you can't exist in that band if you're not you can't You're you have to be perfect. Yes. Hey, yeah Like essentially Yeah, yeah, you can't yeah, you can't be in that band unless you're The perfect fit for that band um, yeah

[00:26:45] I did a leg workout yesterday and today I walked seven miles You walked seven miles today Yeah Wow the park where the Crofton Parkway in my neighborhood is three and a half miles It's a three and a half mile loop. I did two laps

[00:26:59] I started to get dizzy in the middle of the second lap I probably should have stopped But like fucking i'm doing that i don't give you fuck This seven miles is a good walk I hate running

[00:27:10] And even though i'm losing weight like I refuse to if anything was ever chasing me I would just let it kill me because i'm not running for my running It's the worst

[00:27:18] It's actually not that good for you. It's horrible for you. It's good for your cardio. That's it, but it's terrible Like your knees and your hips and your ankles and shit. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, like if you're gonna do all that stuff you should either get like

[00:27:36] You know a cycle Like even like a stationary one or like elliptical or something like that They do all the same shit without the damage to your knees and your hips and shit I love running when it's for sports

[00:27:48] I will run all fucking day long if i'm playing sports not bad night, but running for anything else can go fuck itself I'm gonna watch he's bounding down Yeah

[00:27:58] When he's like, uh, I forget. I think it was one of the first episodes. I forget who I think he was talking to the principal of the school They were talking about sports

[00:28:06] And he and somebody else was like i'm a runner and he's like well, I play real sports Am I trying to be the best at exercising? Yeah Yeah I believe that is the exact line Yep, that's That's That's my hometown guy right there. That's right Danny McBride

[00:28:35] From fredexburg And he's living in he was he's south carolina now charlson. Yeah, he lives in charlson south carolina There's a fun fact that Danny McBride has a painting of mouse hanging in his living room. Yeah

[00:28:52] Rad painting. Yeah, very rad painting painted by a dude here named, um, bill harris bill harris Yeah, I know friend of mine too, but yeah, he says we had him on the podcast right? Yeah. Oh, yeah

[00:29:06] We have we have yeah bill bill's been on this podcast before. Yeah Yeah, that's right. We he painted a picture of mouse and longtime friend. Yeah and uh She's also been on the podcast That's right. She has with film trash

[00:29:27] But yeah bill harris is who is probably the most famous artist from fredexburg. He painted a picture of her and Uh, he knows danny and apparently danny saw that before Bill was gonna put it up for anything and immediately bought it from him. So yeah

[00:29:43] I was watching video from uh, I guess from no effects. They just played in portland Their last Their last portland show. Yeah And pennywise opened And yeah, I guess whenever they play with pennywise fletcher always flucks with mike I like throw them into the drum set

[00:30:06] He threw them into the drum set and then bit him And he has like a huge fletcher bite on his leg. I don't know if it's his leg or his like side His side jowls. Yeah. Yeah, and then fletcher jumped into the drum set. Yeah, I saw that

[00:30:22] It was pretty funny And smelly joined in the fun. Yeah I'm very curious to see if any of those dudes start new bands after no effects I would say for sure they would but they're old They're like they're like what five to ten years older than us

[00:30:40] At least I think I'm pretty sure mike Was born in 1965 Oh, okay, so he's born I was born in 79. So yeah, 77. It's like 14 years older than me I think Melvin's the oldest I believe Oh, he's older than okay because I was gonna say

[00:31:01] I mean hefe's got his acting thing going for him. So yeah, it seems like el hefe's gonna be an actor now Yeah, yeah, I think he's yeah, I don't think we'll see him again in a band

[00:31:11] Probably not smelly. Maybe I don't know he's got his surfboard company surfboard company and whatever else here Melvin's doing his you know He's a dj thing. Yeah So maybe not, you know

[00:31:27] I would say if any if we see any of them in a new band it was probably gonna be mike Yeah, but I would also say that if we would probably see no effects again before we would see any of them in a new band

[00:31:41] As much as I hate to say that with the amount of money i'm paying to see their last show in la I'm curious Mike. I mean, you know, we had him on and he was pretty sincere about That that was this was it. Yeah

[00:38:47] But it was kind of new because it was the wanes world the whole thing that was that king's dominion And uh, and and they were just the you know, there was no loops or whatever. So it just had the lap bar

[00:38:58] Okay, and there's like nobody else on the roller coaster. It was just the four of us And tim would always say like whenever he'd get on the roller coaster that had the lap bar You know, he's like he wouldn't push it down all the way

[00:39:11] Because he was always like one of these he's like a lot of times they just walk by and tap You know, and they don't really push it down to see so he's like one of these times

[00:42:09] Yeah, there's a lot of punk rockers who fucking rock climb. It's a punk rock wave exercise man. Yeah, it's true That was a sad show I think um For me Because there was nobody there and it was strung out and it was

[00:42:26] Well, it was awesome. How many people do you think you were there at this at the black cat? It it wasn't like there was nobody there. Do you think there was more than 100 people? No

[00:42:37] No, I think I think at most there was a hundred we could have had that show at the pie shop Yeah, yeah, definitely could have um and then somebody's lost her ass on that show Well, that was um

[00:42:49] That was a weekday, right or was it a sunday night sunday night. Yeah, it was father's day Yeah, dc on Weeknights because technically sunday is like going into monday. Yeah, people don't go to fucking shows During the week at all in fucking DC also dc is not

[00:43:08] Southern california skate punk friendly No, you're yeah, they're just not Yeah, it's a small crowd of people who dig that kind of shit in dc. Yeah So maybe you do try to get them at the pie shop

[00:43:25] We need to talk to rkl about getting rkl at the pie shop. Oh my god, that would be madness that that would be That would be madness

[00:43:37] I don't know. I wonder what their guarantee is would that be I don't know if the pie shop would be big enough I mean it definitely wouldn't be big enough to cover their guarantee, but Yeah You know, we'll see how this atlas brewworks place goes

[00:43:54] Because they have like a 250 to 300 capacity Oh, dc nine was what 250 I think 230 230 Um 230 ticket max. So yeah, there's actually a bit more people than there there than I think if we brought rkl to dc nine we could sell dc nine out. I think so. Yeah. Oh, yeah

[00:44:17] I mean if we sold dc nine out with the dolly rats. Yeah, so dc nine out with rkl Yeah, I mean, I know the dolly rats are very popular Yeah, but yeah, yeah, but rk they're not rkl but they're not rkl. Um, yeah

[00:44:32] But yeah, that's from our show. I kind of felt bad for strong out I guess they're getting their guarantee anyway. So it's not like that Yeah, but you could tell that they really fucking enjoyed that show

[00:44:41] They even said something about it and the last time I saw them at the black cat was 2011 I'm pretty sure that's the last time they played the black cat because I go there every time and it was the same

[00:44:52] Thing it was minimal amount of people really and it was the best I've ever seen them And then they trumped it on this one And best this And you could tell they fucking loved every second of it

[00:45:06] This one was better than the fucking norba. They said I know it was way better than no Yeah, yeah, orva Like and you could tell they say fucking immediately when they were done They started just fucking giving people hugs and

[00:45:18] Having everybody stayed on the stage for a while like that. They don't normally they don't always do shit like that, you know I remember I kept getting jason's sweat on me. I guess I kept feeling he has warm drops of sweat It's kind of

[00:45:32] Miss freaking me out and giving me a boner at the same time Yeah, it was an amazing show Yeah, we're all up front. It's yeah, it was great because we got to talk to we're like talking to them during their set too. Yeah Yeah
