Speaker 3 (00:46):
So let's get to it. Here's today's episode of the Castle. So, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
First of all, we know, we know we're late. We're
a week late, okay, everyone, yes we are. But I
had a little personal problem that I had to deal with.
And it's what happens when you stay old long enough,
people pass away and you know you're gonna have to
deal with some issues, and so that kind of happened.
(01:13):
So we had to push it off a week. We
heard from a couple of listeners saying, hey, what's up
with you know? I came on to expecting a new
episode like What's up with you people week and.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Tomball guys when the other people said, hey, you guys,
it's okay if you guys are late a couple of times.
So we have a little balance here.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, now it's funny. So we come back from being late.
Now I feel like, oh, geez, I better say something
because they're gonna yell at us. We now we have
to explain ourselves.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's not explaining Hey, so, so happy birthday, Susan.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It was your birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It is so.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
I had talked to Russ on like the nineteenth and
he was talking about, look at I'm doing a surprise party.
Last surprise party didn't go well, and you know, and
so he was, you know, he was a little nervous
about it, but you know, moving forward, how did it go?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But we were getting these texts from Russ. Now we're
getting texts from Susan two because we're trying to schedule things. Now, Susan,
I know it's your birthday, but we got to get
a podcast done, et cetera. Then, and Susan just bouncing
forth and not trying to get out of stuff. But
it is her birthday. But the birthday. Girl's not going
to say, hey, let me along. Today's now on the
other side, here's Russ. Hey, you guys, please don't book
(02:33):
anything but up a dup a dub a dubb a dubba,
and now we're gonna both going, you know, and it's
like it was a lot of fun. But yeah, how
did it go?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It went well. However, it almost got blown by a
dear friend and actually did. But then the original plan
never got pulled off. So when I saw quietly that
that plan wasn't happening, I figured off the hook and
we were going to go to the lake. Okay, she said, like,
I was going to take you to a restaurant, but
it's closed on Tuesday, So I figured the fifteen people
(03:03):
moment went away with closed on Tuesday. Also due to
the fact that we are leaving here in a few
days and this is the last week before the three
month leave, I'm a little Craig Cray right, So he's
starting to decide this is even a good idea because
on my fortieth birthday, my best friend and sister in law,
(03:26):
you know her, well, she gave me a surprise party
and I behaved really bad. Ad here's what happened. So
I had spent the previous ten years with this boyfriend
and best friend, and then they gas lit me and
they lied to me, and I became very fragile because
I had been lied to so bad. Then I met
a whole new group of friends. I got a new husband,
I got a new band. Vicki and I are on fire,
(03:47):
and so we have a new life and I'm trusting again.
I'm trusting again. I'm going to trust the new husband,
I'm going to trust the new friends, and I'm open now.
I'm not burned anymore. And then I get brought into
a room for prize party at the Howland Wolf. I
was forty, so do the math, and I freaked out
because I walked into every single person I know in
(04:09):
love and trust now and realized at that very visceral
moment that every one of them successfully lied to me
for months, and therefore I am no better than I
ever was, and they all became you know who and
you know who. So Vicky had to check me out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Susan's new documentary, Fragile at forty is going to be
coming out soon.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So anyway, so I behaved that and what I noticed.
I mean, I apologize that everybody knows me and knew
what happened, and I was so shocked and all I
could think it was you people, and I just lost
my mind. So anyway, that was twenty six years ago, right,
and I think last year I said to Rest something like, geez,
you know, I've noticed nobody's ever given me a party.
(04:57):
I mean, we go to dinner and we have dinners,
but it's not Nobody ever gave me a surprise party
ever again. And on my fiftieth I thought it was
going to happen, but instead Russ went to Sweden with
Johnny Samsung without me.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's to get back at you for the fortieth go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
So now, no, he wasn't even involved. I think Carlo
was our drummer. I don't even think. Yeah. So here
we are. It's twenty twenty five, and Susan has had
a rough couple of days, okay, so she's not really
even thinking. Well, she can't even figure out what she
left in the other room because she's in a white
out from the world. So Russ has got a perfect
specimen to work with here for surprise, because my friend
(05:37):
tells me about some dinner of fifteen, So now I'm
kind of prepared. I go, hey, Babey, are we going anywhere?
And he goes, ah, we were, but they're literal. So
I'm like, I'm off that party cook And he says,
the lake and watched the sunset, me and you, and
maybe we'll go get Bennet's with friends. Later I went,
oh my god, I can do that. So of rest
(06:00):
and feeling relaxed about it, I am not thinking.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Huh, we'll find piece at the lake.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
At the lake, I felt like it was all over
and I don't mind seeing people I'm expecting at Bennet's,
you know. And I was all but when my friend
told me the possibility, I was like, I get a
chance to be a gracious receiver. So but I have
this thing off my head again. So I'm heading to
the place where we're going to pick up a barbecuer
to take out to the lake. It's a little small,
(06:29):
two people, barbecuer, We got some wings, We went to
the store, we acted out this whole bullalony, and we
get to the prize.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm sorry, this surprise we're on, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
This is this surprise. This is yesterday, I guess, or
two days yes. So we're going to my sister in
law's house to get the hibachi and I say to
my husband, Hey, can you just go in and get
it so we can keep going because there was traffic
and I want to see the sunset and he goes,
I'd like to, but Jewel's wants a birthday hu because
they're not coming to begnets. Okay, okay, no problem, I'm
(07:00):
coming in. Come on, Julie, let's ull get out because
I'm not thinking okay. So I come to the door
and I'm like, hey, bab and I'm like going like this,
trying to get a hug, and she goes, oh, come
get this, Russ, and he goes, why is it too big?
Or I'm like, what do you mean too big? You
said it was perfect for our lake. And she's walking
in and I'm still kind of following and I'm trying
(07:21):
to get I go, hey, I need a hug. I'm
gonna go get in the car, is what I say. Okay,
oh come in, Russ, come get this and West goes, well,
how heavy is it? And I went you described it
to me in detail. It's this big. It looks like
a suitcase. And as we are getting to a door,
I really literally went, oh, it's back on.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, But only then, oh I did.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I was surprised, and I was sick of ye and
I had been so stressed and now I have to
at all happy because it's happening, but I was, but
I was so stressed out, I was sad. I couldn't
be as gracious as I wanted. So I kept asking everybody,
how do I look?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
How do I?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, hey, Susan, and you must have been when when
you Jules is getting this thing, you're there, not again,
it's off your mind, and you're listening to these two
people and you're going.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Jesus, one of those is my husband? What the hell
are these people doing?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Why can't I just get my hug and get my
finger and get out of here?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What's up to me?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
All the way to the door getting opened, okay, And
then I just felt the feeling.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Go ahead, Bobby, Sorry, But because there's a complex history
of surprise parties. Yeah, so what you're saying, this is
your third attempt at this at a surprise party? Third, right?
This one?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well? Well, well look we had the one when I
was forty. It never happened again. And then Russ was
starting it is the only it's the only one after
the failed attempt, And I did well because I realized
it was happening. He was giving me a surprise.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Only you're sitting here, but you're telling us you were
less than gracious.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
No, that was well, because we will so when when
the kind of hipped me to the restaurant moment, I
was all ready to come in and act super gracious
because I knew, but then it got canceled. Now I'm
just real Susan who's so exhausted and wishes it wasn't
her birthday and just wishes she was already on the bus.
Because I can't handle it anymore. I got to be
her again. While I'm driving to the lake. It's just
(09:17):
me and Row.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
We're good.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
So he's this exumption most people now, they go to
the computer, they sit down, they find a happy birthday
thing that blows the candles up, and they email it
to their friend.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
No amazing, Go ahead, Paul, it was beautiful, you guys,
I had the bus.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Where was it at.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
At Jules the sister in law's house. Okay, but see
I wasn't firing, not at all.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Right, We're all the people there. Yeah, when you went,
they were all, oh my god, it's cool.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They have a beautiful pool. It was great.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, okay, and so and so you were going to
go out the door.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
But then you realize, no, it's here.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
No, we're going out the door to get this this
suitcase of a charcoal or we're still on the mission.
But I all of a sudden, when Russ was asking
about it, I'm like, why is he asked, and I
just all of a sudden, you know, your brain eventually
when I'm feeling the heat the people behind the door
at this point, but yeah, kill that. Yeah, But until
that second, I just couldn't understand why I had to
(10:20):
walk all the way through Julie's house to get this
freaking thing. Hilarious and it worked like a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Charm because I was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was at and then I was like, and now
I have to get all that stress away again and
do my thing being all gracious. George Porter was there, guys. Look,
it was hilarious. It was just my core people, and
that's only ten people. Susan, Mary Jansen, you know, Robbie,
all the regulars, the family, and then you know, maybe
(10:52):
maybe Soue Forward and then Shelley Sanchez, you know, and
that's it. And then my band who were standing there
looking real awkward and weird, who all had gigs. Thank god,
because I'm like, I want you guys out of here stacked,
because they're just so awkward standing around at the pool
in their night clothes. And then walks through the door George,
and then that's it. So George Porter Junior is in
(11:13):
my sister in law's backyard with all my family.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
Are you playing are you playing games? And having cake?
And we have.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
We have swimming, we have baby chicks, we have people
being hippies in the backyard in the cottage in the
back we have like swim toys. Oh and then I
have my brother in law is not really my brother
in law because Jewels was never really our sister in
law because she didn't marry Kent. But we got a
new Kent. And he's amazing. He's Jeff. He's like Owen
Wilson from the Fokkers. He can do anything, but he's
(11:46):
not like that about it.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
He's just giffing.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Okay, okay, Yeaff was cooking fish chicken. He was just

Speaker 5 (12:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Yeah, we didn't quite get that, howdy.

pretty good bird.

On the twenty fifth is a it's called the Love
of Ages and it is a tribute of Tom Petty

with glioblastoma. He needs a lot of money and a
lot of prayers and a lot of love. So we're
gonna try and raise some money, make him some music
because Petty is his favorite. And that's also happening. And

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Three Our three months journey in Melbourne starts a week
from and I don't even want to fill in the
day because you could just say it's that close. It's
amazing you start twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I can say it. I have to say it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Days are getting sucked sucked away.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
For it's travel day, the twenty eighth to Melbourne, Australia.
We wish now Florida, Floria.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
That would be freaking awesome, dude, it's gonna have a
whole different exhausted look on my face.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I mean greatly. Yeah, the first days are very, very fun,
folks out there, Just so you know, it is the
reuniting of a family okay that has been apart for
a while, and it is an annual reuniting. So there
is that that good to see you again early pump
to the tour, that that just gets you right away.
(17:08):
Then you settled into the rhythm and everything takes off.
But it is fun at first just to see people
you haven't really seen, and.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
For sure bucket for a while.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that's and then and then the tour itself is fun.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
You know that we're able to do it and we're
still able to go out on a tour.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Ye, But out there is wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yes, yes, so for sure.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
And while we're mentioning stuff, let's let everybody know anybody
who lives close to Arlington. Arlington, Yeah, Arlington, Texas, anybody
living closer. On September tenth, we're going to be playing there.
Where are we playing, Bob, I'm telling what they've.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wont right here, and I am mister ready for this news.
We are at Arlington Music Hall on Centers. Okay, a great.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Place for us to be playing some music.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm just it's a Wednesday, September tenth, you know, so
I guess, I guess that's a Wednesday. So that's the
middle of the week where the Hump Show. We can
be the Hump Show.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I point out that most of the people coming to
see it don't got nothing to do on Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Man, That's why we can book a show on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It is our show. We have been we have been
successfully touring with our trio show Focus. It's just Susan.
We have two guitars and three voices, and it's just
the three of us. And you hear, you know, we
do a lot of the same songs. People think, well,
what do you do different I said, well, we just
do a lot of the same songs, but you get
to hear them differently. You hear them vocally yes, the
(18:48):
melody yes. And they naked before you took it into
the studio and got it all dressed up and that's
the challenge. That challenge as the artist in the Tree
Show is that to perform songs to show you that,
look here they are with nothing on.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
How they came to us, you know, and we had
to re imagine them. And for me, I really enjoyed it,
you guys, because it's forcing me to be a stronger okay,
rhythm player just to back up, well, we gotta we
gotta give you something and we.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Have the right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But it also go ahead ball oh.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I was just going to say, it also kind of
reconfirms because when you're inside the band, you know, you're
just hoping, you're doing your best and it's coming across,
and the other cats are doing their best and it's
coming across, but you really can't hear them, even though
we put each other in our monitors and whatnot. Man,
when the band is happening, you're looking and thinking and
listening to a whole bunch of.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Different stuff than the other guy.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, and we're good enough and professional enough where it
always works. But man, when you do the trio, you're literally,
you know, singing with the other two, you know, And
that's it's more apparent when you're inside of it, you know,
and it's like, oh, this is awesome, and and.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I notice, and we notice is as we're singing, I mean,
Polly and I are a lot of backgrounds for poor Bob,
who is the main singer a lot of the time.
And I and Sam and I are looking at each
other because we're riding this thing a whole different way
in the way, you know, it's like ice skating.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Take turns as the background, like when Paul's singing lead,
or each of us sing lead. Then the other two
are the best I've noticed are very busy, and it's
not very it's just the way it is. So it
sounds kind of pretty large for just what you're looking at,
you know.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I was on Facebook and I'm going along scroll scroll, scroll,
and we pop up all the time, okay, so I
always pop it, hit it, and it was Bob with
an acoustic and I could see was Paul. I could
see it was Tomball, but I didn't believe it because
what I heard just sounded too big to have been Tomball.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But it was.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
And I'm here to tell you, yeah, it just I
don't know why. The Josh is great, okay, because it
sounded rich and gorgeous, and I literally had to rewind
it and go, is this Tombaugh And it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Great because And the other thing is, so you're playing
a song, like Paul says, when you're with the full
band with the big sound, you're focused on your part. Okay,
You really are too, because if your part's correct, you
have faith that everyone else is okay. And that's how
you roll. Now when we do the trio, I'll take
bus Stop as an example. We do bust Up and
(21:31):
there's a bridge and bust up with these three harmonies,
and it's not like you hear them ever when you're
doing it with the band. But in Tomball, for instance,
I remember that one in particular. I go, those are
three really good harmonies. Listen to all those things winding around,
because I don't usually hear Paul and Susan so clear
in terms of in the context of what I'm doing.
You do, but absolutely, but you're focused on you, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
And the other thing is when we're doing like the
old songs hair and Indian Like and these things, you know,
when we're doing them, we're, like you said, Bob, we're
doing what we know. We're doing our part, and we're
trying to nail it best we can. And it's funny
because you know, we whiggle our voices in the same spots.
We do weird things in the same spot, and I
(22:16):
really hear them when we're trioing it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I go wow.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
So because I always wondered about a part, I'm thinking, oh,
I wonder if I'm supposed to do that or holding it,
you know, and then I would.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Do it and hear Susan goo blah blah, and i'ment, oh, okay,
it's crazy. It's really crazy, like AI, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And if you listen back to some of it, because
you really don't hear yourself, guys during the show, that
show goes by. You did your work and it's over
okay when you listen back. Even listening back to the
trio show, I just I marvel at some of it,
you know, because it exposes some of the intricacy that
gets hidden during a big, live, big sound show.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
And I think it's cool. I mean, I enjoy when
that happens. Yes, we were on that cruise and the
yard who was it and those guys had to do
that acoustic and it was phenomenal and I had it
was something you never would have had.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, is anybody? Is anybody playing with us in Arlington?
Are we opening up for anybody?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's just us.
Speaker 1 (23:18):

minute show. Uh. I don't know what time it starts.

One other thing is that that's September tenth at Arlington, Texas.
But September third, we're on the boardwalk at Atlantic City

there to look clothes there on September third, and that's
the old other than Friday Harbor. That September third is

I rotated three through the whole summer.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing. I'll do the same thing I did.
Order new pants so I don't have to worry about
my pants. You know, they degrade over time, especially the
black ones when you wash them and drive and wash
them and drive and wash them and drive.
Speaker 4 (24:57):

of these genes that I don't want to wear.
Speaker 4 (25:11):

So let's get to it. Here's today's episode of the Castle. So, yeah, you.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
First of all, we know, we know we're late. We're
a week late, okay, everyone, yes we are. But I
had a little personal problem that I had to deal with.
And it's what happens when you stay old long enough,
people pass away and you know you're gonna have to
deal with some issues, and so that kind of happened.
(01:13):
So we had to push it off a week. We
heard from a couple of listeners saying, hey, what's up
with you know? I came on to expecting a new
episode like What's up with you people week and.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Tomball guys when the other people said, hey, you guys,
it's okay if you guys are late a couple of times.
So we have a little balance here.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Well, now it's funny. So we come back from being late.
Now I feel like, oh, geez, I better say something
because they're gonna yell at us. We now we have
to explain ourselves.
Speaker 5 (01:43):
It's not explaining Hey, so, so happy birthday, Susan.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
It was your birthday.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
It is so.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
I had talked to Russ on like the nineteenth and
he was talking about, look at I'm doing a surprise party.
Last surprise party didn't go well, and you know, and
so he was, you know, he was a little nervous
about it, but you know, moving forward, how did it go?
Speaker 1 (02:12):
But we were getting these texts from Russ. Now we're
getting texts from Susan two because we're trying to schedule things. Now, Susan,
I know it's your birthday, but we got to get
a podcast done, et cetera. Then, and Susan just bouncing
forth and not trying to get out of stuff. But
it is her birthday. But the birthday. Girl's not going
to say, hey, let me along. Today's now on the
other side, here's Russ. Hey, you guys, please don't book
(02:33):
anything but up a dup a dub a dubb a dubba,
and now we're gonna both going, you know, and it's
like it was a lot of fun. But yeah, how
did it go?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Well?
Speaker 4 (02:41):
It went well. However, it almost got blown by a
dear friend and actually did. But then the original plan
never got pulled off. So when I saw quietly that
that plan wasn't happening, I figured off the hook and
we were going to go to the lake. Okay, she said, like,
I was going to take you to a restaurant, but
it's closed on Tuesday, So I figured the fifteen people
(03:03):
moment went away with closed on Tuesday. Also due to
the fact that we are leaving here in a few
days and this is the last week before the three
month leave, I'm a little Craig Cray right, So he's
starting to decide this is even a good idea because
on my fortieth birthday, my best friend and sister in law,
(03:26):
you know her, well, she gave me a surprise party
and I behaved really bad. Ad here's what happened. So
I had spent the previous ten years with this boyfriend
and best friend, and then they gas lit me and
they lied to me, and I became very fragile because
I had been lied to so bad. Then I met
a whole new group of friends. I got a new husband,
I got a new band. Vicki and I are on fire,
(03:47):
and so we have a new life and I'm trusting again.
I'm trusting again. I'm going to trust the new husband,
I'm going to trust the new friends, and I'm open now.
I'm not burned anymore. And then I get brought into
a room for prize party at the Howland Wolf. I
was forty, so do the math, and I freaked out
because I walked into every single person I know in
(04:09):
love and trust now and realized at that very visceral
moment that every one of them successfully lied to me
for months, and therefore I am no better than I
ever was, and they all became you know who and
you know who. So Vicky had to check me out.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Susan's new documentary, Fragile at forty is going to be
coming out soon.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
So anyway, so I behaved that and what I noticed.
I mean, I apologize that everybody knows me and knew
what happened, and I was so shocked and all I
could think it was you people, and I just lost
my mind. So anyway, that was twenty six years ago, right,
and I think last year I said to Rest something like, geez,
you know, I've noticed nobody's ever given me a party.
(04:57):
I mean, we go to dinner and we have dinners,
but it's not Nobody ever gave me a surprise party
ever again. And on my fiftieth I thought it was
going to happen, but instead Russ went to Sweden with
Johnny Samsung without me.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's to get back at you for the fortieth go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
So now, no, he wasn't even involved. I think Carlo
was our drummer. I don't even think. Yeah. So here
we are. It's twenty twenty five, and Susan has had
a rough couple of days, okay, so she's not really
even thinking. Well, she can't even figure out what she
left in the other room because she's in a white
out from the world. So Russ has got a perfect
specimen to work with here for surprise, because my friend
(05:37):
tells me about some dinner of fifteen, So now I'm
kind of prepared. I go, hey, Babey, are we going anywhere?
And he goes, ah, we were, but they're literal. So
I'm like, I'm off that party cook And he says,
the lake and watched the sunset, me and you, and
maybe we'll go get Bennet's with friends. Later I went,
oh my god, I can do that. So of rest
(06:00):
and feeling relaxed about it, I am not thinking.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Huh, we'll find piece at the lake.
Speaker 4 (06:08):
At the lake, I felt like it was all over
and I don't mind seeing people I'm expecting at Bennet's,
you know. And I was all but when my friend
told me the possibility, I was like, I get a
chance to be a gracious receiver. So but I have
this thing off my head again. So I'm heading to
the place where we're going to pick up a barbecuer
to take out to the lake. It's a little small,
(06:29):
two people, barbecuer, We got some wings, We went to
the store, we acted out this whole bullalony, and we
get to the prize.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I'm sorry, this surprise we're on, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
This is this surprise. This is yesterday, I guess, or
two days yes. So we're going to my sister in
law's house to get the hibachi and I say to
my husband, Hey, can you just go in and get
it so we can keep going because there was traffic
and I want to see the sunset and he goes,
I'd like to, but Jewel's wants a birthday hu because
they're not coming to begnets. Okay, okay, no problem, I'm
(07:00):
coming in. Come on, Julie, let's ull get out because
I'm not thinking okay. So I come to the door
and I'm like, hey, bab and I'm like going like this,
trying to get a hug, and she goes, oh, come
get this, Russ, and he goes, why is it too big?
Or I'm like, what do you mean too big? You
said it was perfect for our lake. And she's walking
in and I'm still kind of following and I'm trying
(07:21):
to get I go, hey, I need a hug. I'm
gonna go get in the car, is what I say. Okay,
oh come in, Russ, come get this and West goes, well,
how heavy is it? And I went you described it
to me in detail. It's this big. It looks like
a suitcase. And as we are getting to a door,
I really literally went, oh, it's back on.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Okay, But only then, oh I did.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
I was surprised, and I was sick of ye and
I had been so stressed and now I have to
at all happy because it's happening, but I was, but
I was so stressed out, I was sad. I couldn't
be as gracious as I wanted. So I kept asking everybody,
how do I look?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
How do I?
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Well, hey, Susan, and you must have been when when
you Jules is getting this thing, you're there, not again,
it's off your mind, and you're listening to these two
people and you're going.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Jesus, one of those is my husband? What the hell
are these people doing?
Speaker 4 (08:16):
Why can't I just get my hug and get my
finger and get out of here?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
What's up to me?
Speaker 4 (08:20):
All the way to the door getting opened, okay, And
then I just felt the feeling.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Go ahead, Bobby, Sorry, But because there's a complex history
of surprise parties. Yeah, so what you're saying, this is
your third attempt at this at a surprise party? Third, right?
This one?
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Well? Well, well look we had the one when I
was forty. It never happened again. And then Russ was
starting it is the only it's the only one after
the failed attempt, And I did well because I realized
it was happening. He was giving me a surprise.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Only you're sitting here, but you're telling us you were
less than gracious.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
No, that was well, because we will so when when
the kind of hipped me to the restaurant moment, I
was all ready to come in and act super gracious
because I knew, but then it got canceled. Now I'm
just real Susan who's so exhausted and wishes it wasn't
her birthday and just wishes she was already on the bus.
Because I can't handle it anymore. I got to be
her again. While I'm driving to the lake. It's just
(09:17):
me and Row.
Speaker 3 (09:17):
We're good.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
So he's this exumption most people now, they go to
the computer, they sit down, they find a happy birthday
thing that blows the candles up, and they email it
to their friend.
Speaker 4 (09:30):
No amazing, Go ahead, Paul, it was beautiful, you guys,
I had the bus.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
Where was it at.
Speaker 4 (09:37):
At Jules the sister in law's house. Okay, but see
I wasn't firing, not at all.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Right, We're all the people there. Yeah, when you went,
they were all, oh my god, it's cool.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
They have a beautiful pool. It was great.
Speaker 5 (09:52):
Yeah, okay, and so and so you were going to
go out the door.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
But then you realize, no, it's here.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
No, we're going out the door to get this this
suitcase of a charcoal or we're still on the mission.
But I all of a sudden, when Russ was asking
about it, I'm like, why is he asked, and I
just all of a sudden, you know, your brain eventually
when I'm feeling the heat the people behind the door
at this point, but yeah, kill that. Yeah, But until
that second, I just couldn't understand why I had to
(10:20):
walk all the way through Julie's house to get this
freaking thing. Hilarious and it worked like a.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
Charm because I was amazing.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I was at and then I was like, and now
I have to get all that stress away again and
do my thing being all gracious. George Porter was there, guys. Look,
it was hilarious. It was just my core people, and
that's only ten people. Susan, Mary Jansen, you know, Robbie,
all the regulars, the family, and then you know, maybe
(10:52):
maybe Soue Forward and then Shelley Sanchez, you know, and
that's it. And then my band who were standing there
looking real awkward and weird, who all had gigs. Thank god,
because I'm like, I want you guys out of here stacked,
because they're just so awkward standing around at the pool
in their night clothes. And then walks through the door George,
and then that's it. So George Porter Junior is in
(11:13):
my sister in law's backyard with all my family.
Speaker 1 (11:19):

law because she didn't marry Kent. But we got a
new Kent. And he's amazing. He's Jeff. He's like Owen
Wilson from the Fokkers. He can do anything, but he's
(11:46):

(14:20):
music for our dear friend Scott Ages who came down
with glioblastoma. He needs a lot of money and a
lot of prayers and a lot of love. So we're
gonna try and raise some money, make him some music
because Petty is his favorite. And that's also happening. And
I'm telling you this only that Sunday's and because of this, guys,
(14:42):
here's a little bit. I think the Cassidys will love this.
Brother John and sister Vic flew in two hours ago
and they are freshly at my house because this gentleman,
he was the manager of the Continental Drifters, and so
Vicky of course wanted to come in to contribute. You know,
she jp had a moment. John's busy schedule allowed him
(15:03):
to attend with her. So they're gonna sing with us,
and it's gonna be really nice. We're going to a
sound check, I mean a rehearsal for that directly after this.
And then on the twenty fourth, if you're in town,
there's a Bob Dylan tribute before.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I leave town Saturday. So so is Tom Petty. All
Tom Petty songs all.
Speaker 4 (15:22):
Tom Petty and the band is rock And I went
she ran some oh you wish you were Hey, I
get to sing that somewhere somebody, somehow.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you get to stop drag him.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I'm dragging it with Aaron. And I got my nebulizer
which is saving my life. And John says to me,
you guys, he sits down and he goes, what's the nebulizer?
I had to get steroids and cancel two gigs. I went,
come on board, little brother, You're gonna love yeah, okay, yeah,
So anyway that happens. So John and Nicker here for
all you. Cassidy's loving people, of loving the family and
(15:56):
the music and everything it's all going on.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
It sounds like this. It sounds like a lot's going on,
even for me. Just before we're gonna have to go
what you got back to the foreign legion, as I
call it, it's an old phrase, join the foreign Legion,
got little hats?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Three Our three months journey in Melbourne starts a week
from and I don't even want to fill in the
day because you could just say it's that close. It's
amazing you start twenty nine.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
I can say it. I have to say it.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Days are getting sucked sucked away.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
For it's travel day, the twenty eighth to Melbourne, Australia.
We wish now Florida, Floria.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
That would be freaking awesome, dude, it's gonna have a
whole different exhausted look on my face.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I mean greatly. Yeah, the first days are very, very fun,
folks out there, Just so you know, it is the
reuniting of a family okay that has been apart for
a while, and it is an annual reuniting. So there
is that that good to see you again early pump
to the tour, that that just gets you right away.
(17:08):
Then you settled into the rhythm and everything takes off.
But it is fun at first just to see people
you haven't really seen, and.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
For sure bucket for a while.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Yeah, that's and then and then the tour itself is fun.
Speaker 5 (17:21):
You know that we're able to do it and we're
still able to go out on a tour.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Ye, But out there is wonderful.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Yes, yes, so for sure.
Speaker 5 (17:35):
And while we're mentioning stuff, let's let everybody know anybody
who lives close to Arlington. Arlington, Yeah, Arlington, Texas, anybody
living closer. On September tenth, we're going to be playing there.
Where are we playing, Bob, I'm telling what they've.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Wont right here, and I am mister ready for this news.
We are at Arlington Music Hall on Centers. Okay, a great.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Place for us to be playing some music.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm just it's a Wednesday, September tenth, you know, so
I guess, I guess that's a Wednesday. So that's the
middle of the week where the Hump Show. We can
be the Hump Show.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
I point out that most of the people coming to
see it don't got nothing to do on Wednesday.
Speaker 5 (18:19):
Man, That's why we can book a show on Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, and.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
It is our show. We have been we have been
successfully touring with our trio show Focus. It's just Susan.
We have two guitars and three voices, and it's just
the three of us. And you hear, you know, we
do a lot of the same songs. People think, well,
what do you do different I said, well, we just
do a lot of the same songs, but you get
to hear them differently. You hear them vocally yes, the
(18:48):
melody yes. And they naked before you took it into
the studio and got it all dressed up and that's
the challenge. That challenge as the artist in the Tree
Show is that to perform songs to show you that,
look here they are with nothing on.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
How they came to us, you know, and we had
to re imagine them. And for me, I really enjoyed it,
you guys, because it's forcing me to be a stronger okay,
rhythm player just to back up, well, we gotta we
gotta give you something and we.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
Have the right.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
But it also go ahead ball oh.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
I was just going to say, it also kind of
reconfirms because when you're inside the band, you know, you're
just hoping, you're doing your best and it's coming across,
and the other cats are doing their best and it's
coming across, but you really can't hear them, even though
we put each other in our monitors and whatnot. Man,
when the band is happening, you're looking and thinking and
listening to a whole bunch of.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Different stuff than the other guy.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
Yeah, and we're good enough and professional enough where it
always works. But man, when you do the trio, you're literally,
you know, singing with the other two, you know, And
that's it's more apparent when you're inside of it, you know,
and it's like, oh, this is awesome, and and.
Speaker 4 (20:02):
I notice, and we notice is as we're singing, I mean,
Polly and I are a lot of backgrounds for poor Bob,
who is the main singer a lot of the time.
And I and Sam and I are looking at each
other because we're riding this thing a whole different way
in the way, you know, it's like ice skating.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Take turns as the background, like when Paul's singing lead,
or each of us sing lead. Then the other two
are the best I've noticed are very busy, and it's
not very it's just the way it is. So it
sounds kind of pretty large for just what you're looking at,
you know.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
Guys.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
I was on Facebook and I'm going along scroll scroll, scroll,
and we pop up all the time, okay, so I
always pop it, hit it, and it was Bob with
an acoustic and I could see was Paul. I could
see it was Tomball, but I didn't believe it because
what I heard just sounded too big to have been Tomball.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
But it was.
Speaker 4 (20:55):
And I'm here to tell you, yeah, it just I
don't know why. The Josh is great, okay, because it
sounded rich and gorgeous, and I literally had to rewind
it and go, is this Tombaugh And it wasn't.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Great because And the other thing is, so you're playing
a song, like Paul says, when you're with the full
band with the big sound, you're focused on your part. Okay,
You really are too, because if your part's correct, you
have faith that everyone else is okay. And that's how
you roll. Now when we do the trio, I'll take
bus Stop as an example. We do bust Up and
(21:31):
there's a bridge and bust up with these three harmonies,
and it's not like you hear them ever when you're
doing it with the band. But in Tomball, for instance,
I remember that one in particular. I go, those are
three really good harmonies. Listen to all those things winding around,
because I don't usually hear Paul and Susan so clear
in terms of in the context of what I'm doing.
You do, but absolutely, but you're focused on you, you know.
Speaker 5 (21:54):
And the other thing is when we're doing like the
old songs hair and Indian Like and these things, you know,
when we're doing them, we're, like you said, Bob, we're
doing what we know. We're doing our part, and we're
trying to nail it best we can. And it's funny
because you know, we whiggle our voices in the same spots.
We do weird things in the same spot, and I
(22:16):
really hear them when we're trioing it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
I go wow.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
So because I always wondered about a part, I'm thinking, oh,
I wonder if I'm supposed to do that or holding it,
you know, and then I would.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Do it and hear Susan goo blah blah, and i'ment, oh, okay,
it's crazy. It's really crazy, like AI, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:32):
And if you listen back to some of it, because
you really don't hear yourself, guys during the show, that
show goes by. You did your work and it's over
okay when you listen back. Even listening back to the
trio show, I just I marvel at some of it,
you know, because it exposes some of the intricacy that
gets hidden during a big, live, big sound show.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
And I think it's cool. I mean, I enjoy when
that happens. Yes, we were on that cruise and the
yard who was it and those guys had to do
that acoustic and it was phenomenal and I had it
was something you never would have had.
Speaker 5 (23:09):
Yeah, is anybody? Is anybody playing with us in Arlington?
Are we opening up for anybody?
Speaker 3 (23:16):
It's just us.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
It's just the Council Trio Show. It's a seventy five
minute show. Uh. I don't know what time it starts.
Let me see. Usually that shows up on these things
seven thirty showtime. Baby, you go and everybody, you know,
(23:40):
we always do that. That's not gonna not happen.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Where are you guys in your preparation to leave? I'd
like to know where we are. I have all my
show cl for instance, I'll give it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
I have to Oh that's my.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Show close pack. I did that before John, so I
could just get one thing next early.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
Yeah, sometimes you gotta pay early. I do have to mention.
One other thing is that that's September tenth at Arlington, Texas.
But September third, we're on the boardwalk at Atlantic City
for that Labor Day closes the summer kind of event
there to look clothes there on September third, and that's
the old other than Friday Harbor. That September third is
(24:21):
the only band gig in the autumn. You know, because
the Trio Show seems to be getting popular, which is cool.
We love doing them both, you.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Know, we love it.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
There's a lot, a lot of cool fund a lot
of cool fun. But yeah, the summer, okay, I mean
last year we brought three out I brought three, right,
didn't I make three? Work?
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Kind of? Three outfits is what you can now.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
I rotated three through the whole summer.
Speaker 5 (24:43):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, amazing. I'll do the same thing I did.
Order new pants so I don't have to worry about
my pants. You know, they degrade over time, especially the
black ones when you wash them and drive and wash
them and drive and wash them and drive.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Mostly closed does.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, and it's funny.
Speaker 5 (25:00):
And they're at a point where now I go, you know,
it says too much, And I'm at the point where
people pay one hundred and twenty dollars for a pair
of these genes that I don't want to wear.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Oh, they definitely do, you.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Know, because they look old and died and you know, crazy.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
So yess keeping along with some good business. So we
do have a podcast. You're listening to it?
Speaker 4 (25:24):
Oh business about our body?
Speaker 1 (25:26):

a long time.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
They really want to think this over because they think I've.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Noticed two things, the criminal system and trying to get
a show anywhere on a big, big outfit this These
are time consuming issues. Okay. The wheels of justice move slow,
and the wheels of the decision makers in Hollywood move
even slower, imagine. But we're gonna get it. We're gonna
