Speaker 1 (00:00):
AJR is here. We love them, Yeah, we do pretty
pretty simple love them. And to be able to watch
them go from zero to when I actually going ten
to one thousand miles per hour. It wasn't overnight. They've
been working hard. But now you follow AJAR and you
see they're selling out massive, massive, massive venues. And there
(00:22):
they used to live together in an apartment down the
street from Madison Square Garden here in New York. They
used to walk by it and it was always standing
there in front of them. And now they're going to
play Madison Square Garden. We're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They played our jingle Ball and they were probably one
of the best performers up there. They were insane.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And if you're an AJR fan, you're you know exactly
what we're talking about. They do have this loyal, loyal
fan base. If you want to talk about it, we're
you good. Yeah, make sure I look.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
My my, my, My hands smell like onions from that breakfast.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, don't touch them, yeah, better not.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Don't sniff my fingers, don't stick your fingers in there.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No, Here we go live from the Mercedes Benz Interview
Lounge A Jr. Guys, Hello, you don't ask Jack any
questions you can ask Jack asked Jack what he doesn't
even a microphone?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
He lost his voice.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
This is like when we interviewed Marshmallow, So you would
never believe we had Marshmallow in. And I'm like, and hey, so, uh,
I guess I can't ask you anything because you don't
you don't talk.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So he just sat here in silence.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes, he had a friend with him who said, well, look,
I'm not Marshmallow, but I will answer you with an answer.
I think he will say, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We also interviewed Wilson the volleyball that one time we did,
and same kind of.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
He actually had more to say than Jack's going to
say today. So Jack is on what's called vocal rest. Right,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We've had kind of a crazy week because this is
album released weekend, we announced the tour and stuff. So
he lost his by something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
He said, it was your fault.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh did he say that? He did?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But Jack, you're my crophone is on, so ifever you
want to tap whatever? Does it work?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay? Two for no? One for yes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm gonna mess that up. Let's practice.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was just a rehearsal.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So when he's on vocal rest, are one of you
in charge for speaking for him, of speaking for him.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Adam Ryan, Adam Ryan, who's in charge of Adam Ryan?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
And I'll take it. I can kind of read his thoughts,
can you. Yeah, he's feeling aroused right now.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
One tap for yes, two for no.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He don't ask when he was tapping the microphone with Hey, So,
I don't how do we put the number of years
behind the amount of years we've known each other?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Do we have an answered for that? Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I was thinking about this the first time we were
in the studio and did an interview with seven years ago.
But the very first thing we did with you, I
think ever was a shopping spree contest in Florida and Florida, Yeah,
in a mall, and it was the smallest stage we've
ever performed on I think in our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know what, the broward mall right, Well, the stages
are getting larger and larger, but one day they'll get smaller.
Welcome to my professional health. But uh, I don't know
where to start here. Let's start with the fact that
you three used to share an apartment. I mean not
far from Madison Square Garden, right.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
That's right. We grew up in Chelsea and we made
all the music in our living room. At one point
we threw out our couch in order to get a
drum set.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well I'm sure the couch was nasty anyway at that point.
But you used to walk past i'm assuming Madison Square
Garden and it would stand there taunting you like, Okay,
we're going to be there one day. And you played
there with with the jingle ball and things like that.
But you, ajar, You've got Madison Square Garden coming up.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Isn't that crazy? It's so crazy to see that on
the tour fest there talk.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
About what that felt like when you were like, okay,
we're it's all confirmed, You're in for the garden.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I mean, that was just our number one goal of
this band. So you know, we started off street performing.
It was just our goal. If we can be an
arena band, we'll have made it in life, and everything
else after that will just be gravy. And we just
announced literally an arena tour with Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Gary, thank you, thank you, And if you're like me
and your stalking AJR on socials. You guys love to
do the video with the crowd and the fans behind
you on the stage or behind the stage, or you're
on the whatever, and it always looks like arena is already.
It looks like you you fill up every room you
(04:35):
you go to.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Oh thank you man. Yeah, it's really just been tour
after tour. We played for three hundred people, and then
six hundred people, and then twelve hundred people. It was
just like doubling slowly. But there's nothing like arena. It's
just the canvas of what you get to put on stage.
Because you probably know, but we try to do crazy
things on stage, like magic tricks and illusion.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well that's what I was gonna say. It's not just
a show, it's actually an experience when you guys perform.
My husband my son said after jingle Ball, aj are
by far our favorite performance because it's not just them singing,
it's you explaining how you come up with the songs
and sounds and different techniques. And it was insane.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Oh that's so say, that's our favorite thing to do. I
think we live in a world now where you kind
of know what you're gonna get everywhere you go. You know,
when I go to Bali, I'm gonna go to these
ten tourist spots because everybody else has already done it,
you can kind of expect it. We like putting on
a show where you get to go in and have
no idea what could possibly happen next.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
By the way, maybe heard it. I'll tell you who
it was. When we said something a second ago, they
all got excited and Jack not speaking?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Is it killing you not to talk? Right now?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Dying inside?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I got to play a couple of songs from the
new album. We're gonna do that in a few minutes.
But there's a song we're not going to play, which
I just mean, I just read the lyrics. This is
a song I love. Steve's going to London. Sean stuck
in a suit, Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn,
like every one afternoon.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You misread that one, Like every like.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Every other afternoon. Steve's going to London, Dad Dan Pete
in the pool, Tom fell for the best friend's mom.
But what the hell are you gonna do? This is
lyrical genius?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Thank you? What is this?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Steve? Okay? Steve goes to London? What is talk about? Yea,
what this song is about that? We're not gonna play
it you'll hear when you get the album, but go ahead.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So we try really hard to write songs about weird
topics that have never been written about before. We work
really hard on you know, painstakingly making every lyric perfect,
and we got kind of frustrated with that at the
end of the album process. So we wanted to write
a song just about nothing, just to distract you from
your difficult life, and we felt kind of uncomfortable about
writing a song about nothing, so we ended up making
(06:50):
it a song about writing a song about nothing. So
that's Steve's going on and go listen to it. Wow,
I wish I was stoned right now? Is some heady stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What do you have? What do you have in your stash?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I was wondering if we could submit ideas for your
random songs.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
We can oh for the song concept? Yes, yes, please.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
So we're thinking of working on a podcast called Can
I Touch It? It's all about animals, if they will
kill us or not? Could you guys make a song
about that? Can I Touch a Raccoon?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
No, there's got to be like an emotional angle there, Okay,
emotional to me.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
She's gonna get killed and then she's gonna be screaming
a head off when the freaking animal attacks.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I got another We have another podcast we wanted to.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, go ahead and talk about that one.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
What is it called?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Will it hurt?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Will it hurt? If I stick my thing into it?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I think we're gonna just call it will it hurt
my thing?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Will it hurt my thingmotion?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
There's an emotion today.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We were at a French restaurant to today and he
had one of those those hair dryers on the wall
and it looks like an evil machine that looks like
it would chop your head off if you put it
in there. So I'm wondering, so I asked him. I said, hey,
mister restaurant owner, do you think it would hurt if
I crammed my wiener in that thing? And then Gandhi said,
LOUI need to do a podcast podcast idea. That's where
your mind's pencil sharpener. I don't know if it'll fit there,
(08:03):
but you know, with a gatorade bottle, these are the
songs you should be writing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Containers in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
We'll move on ell this you've changed. It's called I
was talking to Mario about this. It's called dementia. Oh,
you'll be there when I do. You want to talk
about something serious As you get the news that you're
going to play Madison Square Garden, I'm sure your father
(08:28):
came to mind immediately. Of course, their father passed away
not that long ago. Who was your I'm assuming that
one of the major backbones of you and your lives
and your career as well. Now that you guys are
just truly, truly full of propulsion out outer space with
what you're doing, how do you feel about your dad
(08:49):
looking down at you?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Well, it really sucks. He's not here. I gotta be honest,
that really sucks. He was our biggest fan, but also
he was just, you know, like the parents that tell
their kids everything they make is great, this song's hit,
this song saying that's not helpful to any kid. He
was like, really honest, he was like, hey, I don't
think this is up to your quality, you know. And
I remember when we were writing Okay Orchestra, our last album.
We wrote a bunch of bad songs in a row,
(09:12):
and he called me and said, these songs don't really
go anywhere I think you can do better, and I
remember going, screw him, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Then the next day I was like, oh my god,
he's right. And the next song I wrote was World
Smallest Violin to kind of impress him. And now that's
like our biggest hit randomly, so I think that was
really helpful. It's really sad, but I think when you
go through something like that, when a parent dies, it's
(09:33):
really sad, but it's also really eye opening. You realize
what's important in life. And you kind of look at
him when when he was dying, the thing he wasn't
thinking about was social media likes, you know. The thing
he was thinking about was I'm surrounded by friends. I
made art that I really cared about because he was
an architect. I have family here, and that's a lot
of what this album is about. It's about what's important
(09:53):
in life.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, and as also as people in the room who've
lost parents, you really get to know them on a
new level after they leave you Oh wow, and it's
not you're like, God, I wish I would have thought
that about them when they was right in front of
me and I could hug them and talk to him
about it. But when they leave, you really start thinking
through all of the hallways of your relationship with them.
(10:16):
You're like, Okay, I think i'll know them in a
new way now and totally yeah, so he's always so
he's still with you in that regard.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
And you know what else is crazy, it's really I
heard that. We have to think for this because he
did get to see us in Madison Square Garden, because
he did come to Jingle, So even though it wasn't
our headline show, he did get to see us do
that and perform on that stage.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yes, he send you, guys signs like all the time,
because I know my dad sends me signs all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, so he This is kind of dark. But he
died at exactly eleven eleven, which is like Angel hour
if you're spiritual. And now all the time we're seeing
eleven eleven everywhere. I literally got a tattoo that's eleven eleven.
He also used to call me Ace a lot. I
got a tattoo somewhere that's Ace, And now we see
Ace everywhere. What signs have you seen?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So when my dad passed and two days later I
went to my son's soccer game, and I had just
said to him, send me a sign, you know, and
a dog ran across the field okay, and there was
hundreds of people at this field, came to me, jumped
on me and licked my face. So then the lady
who owned it said, oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, and I said, oh, it's just fine.
(11:18):
What's the name of the dog. The dog's name was Aries.
That's my astrological sign.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So right away I was like, that was my dad.
And it was two days later, so it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Wow, you feel close to him.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yep. Well, Adam, jack and Ryan. I'm going to play
a couple of songs here. But as we get into that,
as you know, Jackie is not speaking. He was in
vocal rest. Even though we are streaming digitally around the world,
there are still people listening to us on the radio
where we speak and through some magic, we end up
at the Empire State Building at the very top where
our transmitter is located. Not only is it beaming across
the land, it's also beaming into outer space. And I'm
(11:51):
assuming to Heaven as well. You want to tap I
love you to your dad. He's listening.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
You finally reason to have a transmitter. Still things, I
want to play songs. I got one call to get
to real quick from Vicky. Hello, Vicky, welcome to the show,
say he good morning to our friends.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh my god, hello Hello.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
How's it going? Oh my god, I'm shaking.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm so great.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
How are you doing so well? So ready to see
them in the concert? Or did you get some some tickets?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So my sister sent me the Instagram announcement and we
both signed up for the free sale, and then we
texted each other that we needed to start looking for
a freaking.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Hat so that as close to the stage as we can.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You guys will wear the dang hat.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You need a jack hat, which is a great insult
for someone, Hey.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You jack hat.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I did a show in Philly. I said, this is
Bank Park and they had like the fanatic hat or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh okay, you have to somehow. So she's talking like
there's a show and so I had a light up
hat and I was like, I need one of these people.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay, So what she's talking about a gag we do
sometimes on stage because I lost a hat that I
used to wear. So I often take a hat from
somebody in the audience to try it on, and it's
always like a funny, silly hat. So that's what she's
talking about. She's trying to get noticed.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, sure, sure, hope you get your tickets to that show.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
This is to see them in Philly.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, So if we knew somebody that could give you tickets.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Mario could probably get you some chickens. I'm gonna be
a pair of seats. Come on, mar Mario, the Republic
has stepped up to the plate. You've got a pair
of tickets. You're going to get your hat. Get a hat,
Go get a jack hat.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You know what's crazy. She's the first person in the
world to get tickets to this tour.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So we're taking a shot here. They're not even printed
and we gave them to you.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's it's insert we're here.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I can't sail the radio.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That just be my whole life. Oh my god, thanks,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
By the way, don't call the attorney general because we
don't have We just gave away something that doesn't exist.
I'm not nervous at all. Well, thank you, thank you
so much for listening. Vicky, she's one of a billion
lovers of a j R.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Thanks Vicky. Oh, I love you guys. Thank you, Vicky.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm gonna play a song from the new album. Just
hold on, second, hold on? Can you give her a
pair of tickets that we don't have?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Also, you'll be with us as we close out iHeart
Radio's jingle Ball season on the stage for Y one
hundred with marsh Mellow. Marshmellow and Jack.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
You guys can both not talk together, they said, do
an interview together Martmello and Jack.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's gonna be an amazing show. All right, let's play.
Let's play some cuts.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
From the album.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
All right, all right, let's get it going. Of course,
the Maybe Man is out today. I like, yes, I'm
a mess awesome. I hope you do too, because that's
what we're playing a All right, who whistled? You guys
didn't whistle? You don't even know who the whistler was.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That was me. I was, yeah, with a lot of tuning. Help.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Jack has no voice, but I bet you have a
whistles can you? Can you whistle?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Oh my god, barely anything?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So, I mean, whistling is a weird little art My
dad used to whistle like all the time, to the
point where we wanted to beat him in the head
with the shovel, like stop stop.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
It's fun in a song. It's like halfway between a
human voice and an instrument. You know that there was
a human behind it, right. It really catches your attention,
I think especially we really like this uh kind of
western cowboy feel. We've had this track for like four years,
and we rewrote this song like three or four different times,
but the whistle remained constant. We're like, we know there's
something special about this whistle. Then we finally found the concept.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It is very low, get on a horse and ride right.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I like tumbleweeds. I feel tumbleweeds are wrong, scary skill
scary as this weird whistle I whistled through my teeth.
Oh weird, weird face you make? That's his hands I
face all the time. All right, all right, So we're
celebrating the fact we're fixed. A gr album of the
(16:08):
Baby Man is extremely out. It is so out. It's
more out than me. Oh, let's go, let's play another
another one.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
What are we playing?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So if Jack, do you know morse code.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It would be helpful for you to learn.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He knows nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I would like to play charrates with you, though you look.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Like you can.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We do the schraates for the next song you want
to hear. It's three It's three words. Okay, Daniel, Daniel, Okay, Okay.
How do you do the first word? Okay, he's rubbing
his chest.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Touch, touching arm.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Second word, he's squeezing his arm.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, he's doing something too, he's doing something, touch my
boot touch. The second word is he's touching himself.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
To my feelings, touch my heart, touch my.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Feeling, feel my touch, touchy, touchy feely. What's the third word.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Touchy, feeling, happy, crossing, you're drunk, you're high, dumb, he
is crazy, goofy, stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Stupid, to my touch my fool. We already found the
second word there it is, Wait, serio, is this the
name of the song? Oh? That's right. I heard the
whole album. I remember listening to this one a g
R touchy feely fool. Who's that giggling?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
That was me?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I thought that was a part of the track. Was scary.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
If you need me on stage to do that, I
got you, no problem, Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I can't turn their mind the way.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think they're working on a Netflix special or something
because they got cameras rolling, so they're doing something that
they're not telling.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I hope you use the conversation we're just having while
we're playing Touchy.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Feelings on Prime.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know what are you doing.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
While we're playing Touchy Fieldy Fool, which is on the
Maybe ma'am, that's right, the fifth, fifth album, fifth album.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, that's right. Pretty crazy to say out loud. Well
you just did Jack say it out loud. No, don't look.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
If we have a major, major tour on the way,
there's a lot of rehearsal. I mean they don't just
go out they don't just go out there and start singing.
I mean there's some sort of preparation for this, so
I know you have rehearsal today, Like what will today's
rehearsal entail? Like what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah? So right now, it's just music rehearsal. So it's
just let's learn the songs. But way more of the
work is creating the illusion. So we while we made
the album, we literally planned out the tour. At the
same time. We kind of look at the tours as
a Broadway show, and the album is the soundtrack to
the Broadway show, so we kind of knew. We know,
like for yesmms, we know exactly what the effect is
going to be, what the stage is going to look like,
(18:55):
the crazy stuff that's going to happen. So that's all
of the work. It's one thing to just spend a
day being like what if Jack flies around the stage
and then his shadow does this and then this, But
then it's eight months of actually implementing it.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I want to see that. I want to see this
Jack flying around the stage with shadows doing this and
this and this. Did any of you see Taylor Swift concert?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Did you no?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But but everyone I know who saw it. Actually I
had tickets to go, but I didn't go, and then
I got yelled at for not going. But I'm sure
someone sat in that seat.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
But seemed amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You look at all the production value that goes into
these shows that are going on, and I mean it's
just incredible how you do what you do. You go
through all this planning where it can be as magical
as as fire with fireworks and you know, animation stuff
going on, or it can be something as simple as
Ed Sheeran with a guitar and a stool for sure. Yeah,
(19:46):
I want to see Ajar play the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh so that'd be pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, is that on the planet.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Jack's gut. He's saying he's gotten a lot of texts
about it, which means we have to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, and I'd like to see you flying around like
Pink as well with you know some kidding.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Can I make a suggestion? Yes, I think next year
you should have a jingle ball at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
How cool have that beout it?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Let me send a text out like I have connections.
That sphere is everyone I know who's seen you to
it's at the sphere. Say, it's just changing everything.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh wow, it's like VR. You're just like in a
new world in a second.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Right, And everything you build on a set can be
just built on a video. It's all digital and you
just you just walk out to where an empty set
and it looks like you're in the middle of wherever
you want to be in the world.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
See the giraffe one where the giraft is like walking
over the people. It's like mine is frightening.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I love the pictures that people post from their hotel
rooms when the sphere is facing their window and they
can't sleep because like the big smiley face ball is
staring at the amazing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But see, the thing about the creativity you guys put
into your show is you don't have to have a
sphere because you guys make it so fun. It's definitely
a circus going on every time you guys hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Thank you. Yeah. I think it came from street performing.
That's something you really hone your craft because all these
businessmen are walking by, they don't care about what you're doing.
Your job is to sing something or say something to
get their attention. Then we just never forgot that skill.
So now we're doing it on a huge level of
we're going to keep your attention for an hour and
a half straight.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Do you remember going down to Times Square and tap dancing? Oh? Yeah,
how old were you when you guys were doing that?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Jack was seven, I was ten, you were twelve or something.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I think you posted this the other day on your
social time.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I now, we've been kind of scared to post that
because we're like a little embarrassed of the tap dancing.
But now we've come far enough that we can.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Tap dance on stage.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We're definitely having.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No see, which means you should yeah anyway, Ajar. The
album The Maybe Man is out and we love you guys.
You always have a home here with us, and we'll
see you at a sphere.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
All right, and thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Before that, we're gonna talk by y one under jingle Ball,
and of course matters to Square Garden and where you're going?
Where do we go online to find out exactly where
you're going? The tour is going to bring.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
You Ajur Brothers dot com and you can pre register
right now for tickets and pre sales start on Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Sorry, we already give a pair away, so we're done there.
Aj everyone.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
Thanks now, Miss Duran in the Morning Show
AJR is here. We love them, Yeah, we do pretty
pretty simple love them. And to be able to watch
them go from zero to when I actually going ten
to one thousand miles per hour. It wasn't overnight. They've
been working hard. But now you follow AJAR and you
see they're selling out massive, massive, massive venues. And there
(00:22):
they used to live together in an apartment down the
street from Madison Square Garden here in New York. They
used to walk by it and it was always standing
there in front of them. And now they're going to
play Madison Square Garden. We're gonna talk about it.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
They played our jingle Ball and they were probably one
of the best performers up there. They were insane.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
And if you're an AJR fan, you're you know exactly
what we're talking about. They do have this loyal, loyal
fan base. If you want to talk about it, we're
you good. Yeah, make sure I look.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Okay, look beautiful.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
My my, my, My hands smell like onions from that breakfast.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, don't touch them, yeah, better not.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Don't sniff my fingers, don't stick your fingers in there.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
No, Here we go live from the Mercedes Benz Interview
Lounge A Jr. Guys, Hello, you don't ask Jack any
questions you can ask Jack asked Jack what he doesn't
even a microphone?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
He lost his voice.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
This is like when we interviewed Marshmallow, So you would
never believe we had Marshmallow in. And I'm like, and hey, so, uh,
I guess I can't ask you anything because you don't
you don't talk.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
So he just sat here in silence.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yes, he had a friend with him who said, well, look,
I'm not Marshmallow, but I will answer you with an answer.
I think he will say, that's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
We also interviewed Wilson the volleyball that one time we did,
and same kind of.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
He actually had more to say than Jack's going to
say today. So Jack is on what's called vocal rest. Right,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
We've had kind of a crazy week because this is
album released weekend, we announced the tour and stuff. So
he lost his by something.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
He said, it was your fault.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Oh did he say that? He did?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
But Jack, you're my crophone is on, so ifever you
want to tap whatever? Does it work?
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Okay? Two for no? One for yes, Okay.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I'm gonna mess that up. Let's practice.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It was just a rehearsal.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
So when he's on vocal rest, are one of you
in charge for speaking for him, of speaking for him.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Adam Ryan, Adam Ryan, who's in charge of Adam Ryan?
Speaker 4 (02:26):
And I'll take it. I can kind of read his thoughts,
can you. Yeah, he's feeling aroused right now.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
One tap for yes, two for no.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He don't ask when he was tapping the microphone with Hey, So,
I don't how do we put the number of years
behind the amount of years we've known each other?
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Do we have an answered for that? Okay?
Speaker 4 (02:52):
I think so.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
I was thinking about this the first time we were
in the studio and did an interview with seven years ago.
But the very first thing we did with you, I
think ever was a shopping spree contest in Florida and Florida, Yeah,
in a mall, and it was the smallest stage we've
ever performed on I think in our entire lives.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know what, the broward mall right, Well, the stages
are getting larger and larger, but one day they'll get smaller.
Welcome to my professional health. But uh, I don't know
where to start here. Let's start with the fact that
you three used to share an apartment. I mean not
far from Madison Square Garden, right.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
That's right. We grew up in Chelsea and we made
all the music in our living room. At one point
we threw out our couch in order to get a
drum set.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well I'm sure the couch was nasty anyway at that point.
But you used to walk past i'm assuming Madison Square
Garden and it would stand there taunting you like, Okay,
we're going to be there one day. And you played
there with with the jingle ball and things like that.
But you, ajar, You've got Madison Square Garden coming up.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Isn't that crazy? It's so crazy to see that on
the tour fest there talk.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
About what that felt like when you were like, okay,
we're it's all confirmed, You're in for the garden.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
I mean, that was just our number one goal of
this band. So you know, we started off street performing.
It was just our goal. If we can be an
arena band, we'll have made it in life, and everything
else after that will just be gravy. And we just
announced literally an arena tour with Madison Square.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Gary, thank you, thank you, And if you're like me
and your stalking AJR on socials. You guys love to
do the video with the crowd and the fans behind
you on the stage or behind the stage, or you're
on the whatever, and it always looks like arena is already.
It looks like you you fill up every room you
(04:35):
you go to.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
Oh thank you man. Yeah, it's really just been tour
after tour. We played for three hundred people, and then
six hundred people, and then twelve hundred people. It was
just like doubling slowly. But there's nothing like arena. It's
just the canvas of what you get to put on stage.
Because you probably know, but we try to do crazy
things on stage, like magic tricks and illusion.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well that's what I was gonna say. It's not just
a show, it's actually an experience when you guys perform.
My husband my son said after jingle Ball, aj are
by far our favorite performance because it's not just them singing,
it's you explaining how you come up with the songs
and sounds and different techniques. And it was insane.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Oh that's so say, that's our favorite thing to do. I
think we live in a world now where you kind
of know what you're gonna get everywhere you go. You know,
when I go to Bali, I'm gonna go to these
ten tourist spots because everybody else has already done it,
you can kind of expect it. We like putting on
a show where you get to go in and have
no idea what could possibly happen next.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
By the way, maybe heard it. I'll tell you who
it was. When we said something a second ago, they
all got excited and Jack not speaking?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Is it killing you not to talk? Right now?
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Dying inside?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
I got to play a couple of songs from the
new album. We're gonna do that in a few minutes.
But there's a song we're not going to play, which
I just mean, I just read the lyrics. This is
a song I love. Steve's going to London. Sean stuck
in a suit, Tom sleeps on his best friend's lawn,
like every one afternoon.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
You misread that one, Like every like.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Every other afternoon. Steve's going to London, Dad Dan Pete
in the pool, Tom fell for the best friend's mom.
But what the hell are you gonna do? This is
lyrical genius?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
Thank you? What is this?
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Steve? Okay? Steve goes to London? What is talk about? Yea,
what this song is about that? We're not gonna play
it you'll hear when you get the album, but go ahead.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
So we try really hard to write songs about weird
topics that have never been written about before. We work
really hard on you know, painstakingly making every lyric perfect,
and we got kind of frustrated with that at the
end of the album process. So we wanted to write
a song just about nothing, just to distract you from
your difficult life, and we felt kind of uncomfortable about
writing a song about nothing, so we ended up making
(06:50):
it a song about writing a song about nothing. So
that's Steve's going on and go listen to it. Wow,
I wish I was stoned right now? Is some heady stuff.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
What do you have? What do you have in your stash?
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (07:02):
I was wondering if we could submit ideas for your
random songs.
Speaker 4 (07:05):
We can oh for the song concept? Yes, yes, please.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
So we're thinking of working on a podcast called Can
I Touch It? It's all about animals, if they will
kill us or not? Could you guys make a song
about that? Can I Touch a Raccoon?
Speaker 4 (07:17):
No, there's got to be like an emotional angle there, Okay,
emotional to me.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
She's gonna get killed and then she's gonna be screaming
a head off when the freaking animal attacks.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I got another We have another podcast we wanted to.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Yeah, go ahead and talk about that one.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
What is it called?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Will it hurt?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Will it hurt? If I stick my thing into it?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
I think we're gonna just call it will it hurt
my thing?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Will it hurt my thingmotion?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
There's an emotion today.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
We were at a French restaurant to today and he
had one of those those hair dryers on the wall
and it looks like an evil machine that looks like
it would chop your head off if you put it
in there. So I'm wondering, so I asked him. I said, hey,
mister restaurant owner, do you think it would hurt if
I crammed my wiener in that thing? And then Gandhi said,
LOUI need to do a podcast podcast idea. That's where
your mind's pencil sharpener. I don't know if it'll fit there,
(08:03):
but you know, with a gatorade bottle, these are the
songs you should be writing.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Containers in the fridge.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
We'll move on ell this you've changed. It's called I
was talking to Mario about this. It's called dementia. Oh,
you'll be there when I do. You want to talk
about something serious As you get the news that you're
going to play Madison Square Garden, I'm sure your father
(08:28):
came to mind immediately. Of course, their father passed away
not that long ago. Who was your I'm assuming that
one of the major backbones of you and your lives
and your career as well. Now that you guys are
just truly, truly full of propulsion out outer space with
what you're doing, how do you feel about your dad
(08:49):
looking down at you?
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Well, it really sucks. He's not here. I gotta be honest,
that really sucks. He was our biggest fan, but also
he was just, you know, like the parents that tell
their kids everything they make is great, this song's hit,
this song saying that's not helpful to any kid. He
was like, really honest, he was like, hey, I don't
think this is up to your quality, you know. And
I remember when we were writing Okay Orchestra, our last album.
We wrote a bunch of bad songs in a row,
(09:12):
and he called me and said, these songs don't really
go anywhere I think you can do better, and I
remember going, screw him, he doesn't know what he's talking about.
Then the next day I was like, oh my god,
he's right. And the next song I wrote was World
Smallest Violin to kind of impress him. And now that's
like our biggest hit randomly, so I think that was
really helpful. It's really sad, but I think when you
go through something like that, when a parent dies, it's
(09:33):
really sad, but it's also really eye opening. You realize
what's important in life. And you kind of look at
him when when he was dying, the thing he wasn't
thinking about was social media likes, you know. The thing
he was thinking about was I'm surrounded by friends. I
made art that I really cared about because he was
an architect. I have family here, and that's a lot
of what this album is about. It's about what's important
(09:53):
in life.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, and as also as people in the room who've
lost parents, you really get to know them on a
new level after they leave you Oh wow, and it's
not you're like, God, I wish I would have thought
that about them when they was right in front of
me and I could hug them and talk to him
about it. But when they leave, you really start thinking
through all of the hallways of your relationship with them.
(10:16):
You're like, Okay, I think i'll know them in a
new way now and totally yeah, so he's always so
he's still with you in that regard.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
And you know what else is crazy, it's really I
heard that. We have to think for this because he
did get to see us in Madison Square Garden, because
he did come to Jingle, So even though it wasn't
our headline show, he did get to see us do
that and perform on that stage.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yes, he send you, guys signs like all the time,
because I know my dad sends me signs all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:41):
Yeah, so he This is kind of dark. But he
died at exactly eleven eleven, which is like Angel hour
if you're spiritual. And now all the time we're seeing
eleven eleven everywhere. I literally got a tattoo that's eleven eleven.
He also used to call me Ace a lot. I
got a tattoo somewhere that's Ace, And now we see
Ace everywhere. What signs have you seen?
Speaker 2 (10:57):
So when my dad passed and two days later I
went to my son's soccer game, and I had just
said to him, send me a sign, you know, and
a dog ran across the field okay, and there was
hundreds of people at this field, came to me, jumped
on me and licked my face. So then the lady
who owned it said, oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry, and I said, oh, it's just fine.
(11:18):
What's the name of the dog. The dog's name was Aries.
That's my astrological sign.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Oh wow.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
So right away I was like, that was my dad.
And it was two days later, so it was amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Wow, you feel close to him.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yep. Well, Adam, jack and Ryan. I'm going to play
a couple of songs here. But as we get into that,
as you know, Jackie is not speaking. He was in
vocal rest. Even though we are streaming digitally around the world,
there are still people listening to us on the radio
where we speak and through some magic, we end up
at the Empire State Building at the very top where
our transmitter is located. Not only is it beaming across
the land, it's also beaming into outer space. And I'm
(11:51):
assuming to Heaven as well. You want to tap I
love you to your dad. He's listening.
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
You finally reason to have a transmitter. Still things, I
want to play songs. I got one call to get
to real quick from Vicky. Hello, Vicky, welcome to the show,
say he good morning to our friends.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Oh my god, hello Hello.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
How's it going? Oh my god, I'm shaking.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
I'm so great.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
How are you doing so well? So ready to see
them in the concert? Or did you get some some tickets?
What's going on?
Speaker 2 (12:25):
No?
Speaker 3 (12:26):
So my sister sent me the Instagram announcement and we
both signed up for the free sale, and then we
texted each other that we needed to start looking for
a freaking.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
Hat so that as close to the stage as we can.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You guys will wear the dang hat.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
You need a jack hat, which is a great insult
for someone, Hey.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
You jack hat.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I did a show in Philly. I said, this is
Bank Park and they had like the fanatic hat or
something like that.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Oh okay, you have to somehow. So she's talking like
there's a show and so I had a light up
hat and I was like, I need one of these people.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Okay, So what she's talking about a gag we do
sometimes on stage because I lost a hat that I
used to wear. So I often take a hat from
somebody in the audience to try it on, and it's
always like a funny, silly hat. So that's what she's
talking about. She's trying to get noticed.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Well, sure, sure, hope you get your tickets to that show.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
I'm trying.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
This is to see them in Philly.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Yeah, So if we knew somebody that could give you tickets.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Mario could probably get you some chickens. I'm gonna be
a pair of seats. Come on, mar Mario, the Republic
has stepped up to the plate. You've got a pair
of tickets. You're going to get your hat. Get a hat,
Go get a jack hat.
Speaker 5 (13:44):
You know what's crazy. She's the first person in the
world to get tickets to this tour.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
So we're taking a shot here. They're not even printed
and we gave them to you.
Speaker 3 (13:59):
It's it's insert we're here.
Speaker 4 (14:01):
I can't sail the radio.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
That just be my whole life. Oh my god, thanks,
thank you.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
By the way, don't call the attorney general because we
don't have We just gave away something that doesn't exist.
I'm not nervous at all. Well, thank you, thank you
so much for listening. Vicky, she's one of a billion
lovers of a j R.
Speaker 4 (14:19):
Thanks Vicky. Oh, I love you guys. Thank you, Vicky.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'm gonna play a song from the new album. Just
hold on, second, hold on? Can you give her a
pair of tickets that we don't have?
Speaker 4 (14:27):
Thanks?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
Also, you'll be with us as we close out iHeart
Radio's jingle Ball season on the stage for Y one
hundred with marsh Mellow. Marshmellow and Jack.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
You guys can both not talk together, they said, do
an interview together Martmello and Jack.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
That's gonna be an amazing show. All right, let's play.
Let's play some cuts.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
From the album.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
All right, all right, let's get it going. Of course,
the Maybe Man is out today. I like, yes, I'm
a mess awesome. I hope you do too, because that's
what we're playing a All right, who whistled? You guys
didn't whistle? You don't even know who the whistler was.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
That was me. I was, yeah, with a lot of tuning. Help.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Jack has no voice, but I bet you have a
whistles can you? Can you whistle?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
Oh my god, barely anything?
Speaker 1 (15:16):
So, I mean, whistling is a weird little art My
dad used to whistle like all the time, to the
point where we wanted to beat him in the head
with the shovel, like stop stop.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
It's fun in a song. It's like halfway between a
human voice and an instrument. You know that there was
a human behind it, right. It really catches your attention,
I think especially we really like this uh kind of
western cowboy feel. We've had this track for like four years,
and we rewrote this song like three or four different times,
but the whistle remained constant. We're like, we know there's
something special about this whistle. Then we finally found the concept.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
It is very low, get on a horse and ride right.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
I like tumbleweeds. I feel tumbleweeds are wrong, scary skill
scary as this weird whistle I whistled through my teeth.
Oh weird, weird face you make? That's his hands I
face all the time. All right, all right, So we're
celebrating the fact we're fixed. A gr album of the
(16:08):
Baby Man is extremely out. It is so out. It's
more out than me. Oh, let's go, let's play another
another one.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
What are we playing?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
So if Jack, do you know morse code.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
It would be helpful for you to learn.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
He knows nothing.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I would like to play charrates with you, though you look.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Like you can.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We do the schraates for the next song you want
to hear. It's three It's three words. Okay, Daniel, Daniel, Okay, Okay.
How do you do the first word? Okay, he's rubbing
his chest.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Touch, touching arm.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Second word, he's squeezing his arm.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Okay, he's doing something too, he's doing something, touch my
boot touch. The second word is he's touching himself.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
To my feelings, touch my heart, touch my.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Feeling, feel my touch, touchy, touchy feely. What's the third word.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Touchy, feeling, happy, crossing, you're drunk, you're high, dumb, he
is crazy, goofy, stupid.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Stupid, to my touch my fool. We already found the
second word there it is, Wait, serio, is this the
name of the song? Oh? That's right. I heard the
whole album. I remember listening to this one a g
R touchy feely fool. Who's that giggling?
Speaker 4 (17:41):
That was me?
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I thought that was a part of the track. Was scary.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
If you need me on stage to do that, I
got you, no problem, Yeah, I got you.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Here.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
I can't turn their mind the way.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
I think they're working on a Netflix special or something
because they got cameras rolling, so they're doing something that
they're not telling.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
I hope you use the conversation we're just having while
we're playing Touchy.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Feelings on Prime.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I don't know what are you doing.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
While we're playing Touchy Fieldy Fool, which is on the
Maybe ma'am, that's right, the fifth, fifth album, fifth album.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Yeah, that's right. Pretty crazy to say out loud. Well
you just did Jack say it out loud. No, don't look.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
If we have a major, major tour on the way,
there's a lot of rehearsal. I mean they don't just
go out they don't just go out there and start singing.
I mean there's some sort of preparation for this, so
I know you have rehearsal today, Like what will today's
rehearsal entail? Like what are you doing?
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Yeah? So right now, it's just music rehearsal. So it's
just let's learn the songs. But way more of the
work is creating the illusion. So we while we made
the album, we literally planned out the tour. At the
same time. We kind of look at the tours as
a Broadway show, and the album is the soundtrack to
the Broadway show, so we kind of knew. We know,
like for yesmms, we know exactly what the effect is
going to be, what the stage is going to look like,
(18:55):
the crazy stuff that's going to happen. So that's all
of the work. It's one thing to just spend a
day being like what if Jack flies around the stage
and then his shadow does this and then this, But
then it's eight months of actually implementing it.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I want to see that. I want to see this
Jack flying around the stage with shadows doing this and
this and this. Did any of you see Taylor Swift concert?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
No?
Speaker 5 (19:14):
No?
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Did you no?
Speaker 1 (19:16):
But but everyone I know who saw it. Actually I
had tickets to go, but I didn't go, and then
I got yelled at for not going. But I'm sure
someone sat in that seat.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
But seemed amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
You look at all the production value that goes into
these shows that are going on, and I mean it's
just incredible how you do what you do. You go
through all this planning where it can be as magical
as as fire with fireworks and you know, animation stuff
going on, or it can be something as simple as
Ed Sheeran with a guitar and a stool for sure. Yeah,
(19:46):
I want to see Ajar play the Sphere in Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (19:50):
Oh so that'd be pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Yeah, is that on the planet.
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Jack's gut. He's saying he's gotten a lot of texts
about it, which means we have to do it.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Yeah, and I'd like to see you flying around like
Pink as well with you know some kidding.
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Can I make a suggestion? Yes, I think next year
you should have a jingle ball at the Sphere.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
Interesting?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
How cool have that beout it?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Let me send a text out like I have connections.
That sphere is everyone I know who's seen you to
it's at the sphere. Say, it's just changing everything.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
Oh wow, it's like VR. You're just like in a
new world in a second.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Right, And everything you build on a set can be
just built on a video. It's all digital and you
just you just walk out to where an empty set
and it looks like you're in the middle of wherever
you want to be in the world.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
See the giraffe one where the giraft is like walking
over the people. It's like mine is frightening.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
I love the pictures that people post from their hotel
rooms when the sphere is facing their window and they
can't sleep because like the big smiley face ball is
staring at the amazing.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But see, the thing about the creativity you guys put
into your show is you don't have to have a
sphere because you guys make it so fun. It's definitely
a circus going on every time you guys hit the stage.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Thank you. Yeah. I think it came from street performing.
That's something you really hone your craft because all these
businessmen are walking by, they don't care about what you're doing.
Your job is to sing something or say something to
get their attention. Then we just never forgot that skill.
So now we're doing it on a huge level of
we're going to keep your attention for an hour and
a half straight.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Do you remember going down to Times Square and tap dancing? Oh? Yeah,
how old were you when you guys were doing that?
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Jack was seven, I was ten, you were twelve or something.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I think you posted this the other day on your
social time.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
I now, we've been kind of scared to post that
because we're like a little embarrassed of the tap dancing.
But now we've come far enough that we can.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Tap dance on stage.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We're definitely having.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No see, which means you should yeah anyway, Ajar. The
album The Maybe Man is out and we love you guys.
You always have a home here with us, and we'll
see you at a sphere.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
All right, and thanks for having us.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Before that, we're gonna talk by y one under jingle Ball,
and of course matters to Square Garden and where you're going?
Where do we go online to find out exactly where
you're going? The tour is going to bring.
Speaker 5 (22:01):

right now for tickets and pre sales start on Monday.
Speaker 1 (22:08):
