one and all to the Calcil Podcast, where we have fun, fun,
fun even when we're being serious every.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Single week with our music stories and weekly special guests
from all walks of life.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
All of us can use a break sometimes take a breezer.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Right right right.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Well, if that's true for you, then you have a
ride at the right place at the right time.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
So we want you to sit back back and escape.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
With us and to our world of harmony, laughter and
tom foolery.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
So let's get to it. Here's today's episode.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Of The Castle. Hello, Hello, everybody. That also means we're
not on the bus. Not on the.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Bus, we're inside.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Of our first break.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We got home two days ago, but you know we
were straggling in so yesterday felt like the first day home.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And man, it is like for me anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Because you had delays, right, you have delays.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I did.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh man, I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But this phase, people, this pace is our achy body face,
our achy body point A. Okay, you have the point
b coming. No, I'm serious because when my body stops
for some reason, you guys on the on the tour,
and you do get into the rhythm, folks, Okay, yeah,
(01:42):
first you're freaked out and you go, oh my god, no,
not the bus and there it is like a monster.
But then you enter and everything's fine. So yeah, you
get into the rhythm.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But now, wait, the bus is kind of like Godzilla
right at the first.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it's got this like sometimes we put the chairs out,
you got, I said at night after show. Like let's
say they're in front of the bus and the lighting
is whatever. I mean, this is something that could come
to life in a Stephen King movie. Eats us okay,
because we're right under it and if you look up,
it's so ominous.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And it's those camping kids movies back in the seventies
where the kids go to the place in the woods
and camp on the lake for a real fun time
and everything goes to hell.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, the bus has its own face, and you can
it has a bunch of different faces.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Actually a happy one.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Anyway, yes, at this age, getting home and realizing that
we have stopped the continual.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Motion, which is being on the road.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Guys, because what's happening is literally you wake up and
you don't stop moving till you finish your gig and
you get back on the bus and then you stop.
But everything istuba and you don't realize get.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Home as you establish your rhythm. At the end of June,
right there, they say, oh, you're got to go home
for two weeks, and now you've interrupted your rhythm again,
and now we're going to come back to San Jose
and the ninth and redo the whole thing. And then
August they slay us and whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And here's what it feels like, y'all. It feels like
you get home and then you sit down and write
that first time you sit down, somebody gets out a
bunch of super glue and starts putting it in all
your joints, and then you go to get up and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh I was going to say so yeah, And on
the second leg.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So another thing about the bus is that so now
we're going to be getting a new bus. So we're
going to get another bus, and we're going to have
to take the time to try to figure out that bus.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Which it does take a little while.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We always hope on a great bus, but we never
really know what we're going to get. And how about
that Jay. We had a driver that was our best driver.
I think there was only one other driver as good
as him, and that was Jason. Yes, but Jay was
great man.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And let me tell you one thing about Jay, and
we just loved the guy. He was young, and we
were his very first h tour bus. Yeah. Yes, that's
when he got to drive on and he takes a
bunch of sedate old people, which is probably a good entry.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yeah, he's not going to get that next run.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he showed us. Jay showed us some of the
bands he's going out with after us, since we only
had him for the month, And all we can tell
any of you is that none of these bands are
anywhere near or anywhere close to being like us. So
he'll have new experiences, you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Know, which I think for pretty much.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I think when a guy says I want to be
a tour bus driver, he's looking for a little excitement
and he got us.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's like going, yeah he was I said I wanted
to be a tour bus driver. Okay, he always want.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I love it. Here was a great guy. So yeah,
Jay for sure to.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Paul's point about the bus leaving us in a month.
What this created, guys, was really a faux ending of
the happy together during June, because we had to clear
out of this bus as if it was the end
of summer. And now when we come back on July
ninth in San Jose again, it's going to be as if,
oh we're going to see the bus for the first time,
we're going to move back in. All that's going.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
On, and what we also don't know is are we
moving in for just the West Coast leg or are
we moving in for West Coast leg and then continuing
because that's a huge difference, castid is because we will
have to take everything down again and move everything.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Again if we're getting a third bus.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Okay, and look we you know on our bus at
least the ladies, they've been in training for years, and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We have little tiny condos, what fully decorated.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I mean, every amenity you could want in a bunk
in a condo is in our bunks.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So we really have to pack.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm can I make an observation, and since you brought
you girls up, they do these little things in their berth,
knowing that's just for a month now to show you
something how it to affects the rest of the bus.
For instance, known us for a month. We're not going
to decorate the lounge in Christmas lights because we're just
going to take him down too fast. But these girls
(06:19):
don't hold back in their berths.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Just well, well, we'll put the Christmas lights up on
the last leg. I mean when I heard there was
maybe three buses, I was like, hey.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, so and hopefully we get lucky enough to
wear this bus on the second leg. We're going to
continue to keep it all the way through August. That's
what I'm really hoping on.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
We can move.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We're hoping on a good driver because we really had
a good one and Jay isn't coming back with us.
He's taken the bus we were on onto his great course.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You know, it's funny he's in a band.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Jay To, our driver is also in a band, and
you know, I think it was a good first bus
tour for him.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But I think he might even have just a little
bit more.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Fun with these younger people, even though they're not as
is they used to be when they were hitting it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yeah, I think he wanted to clear up a few
beer bottles, because he even said the words, well, I'm
pretty sure this next band I got, I'll be clearing
some beer bottles. And I'm thinking we disappointed the heck
out of him with a clean kitchen every time he
came in something.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean, you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Picture Jay at home gets his first tour, He's all excited.
What's it called to happen together? To it? What could
be wrong with that happy tour? And he goes online, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To work at a nursing home or something twenty one?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And you go, what did I sign up for here?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's hilarious book, for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's because if he looked at all of us and
I go to this example, it's my quickest one, but
it's the one that works. Is when I first walked
by Howard Tail and had never seen him or met
him yet on the first night of a happy together
to her in the dark, and it was him and
I went hey, and he he went hey, and we
just kept going and I looked at him. He I
said to myself, can that man even sing? Because we
all old and he's the best singer in the group
(08:07):
in the whole door, you know. But that's the lesson
you learn, you know. So Jay must have been looking
at us like Jesus, they're going to be asleep all
the time, right, that's too fun.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But anyway, Yeah, by the way, a.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Note about June, guys, and this it just surprises us,
but we love it. We had the Happy Together Tour
has had a bigger June this year than last year,
and that's just a direction none of us expect. You know.
I know my eyesight's not going to get better, for instance,
So that was a shock to me that really and
I don't know if it's we all are still here,
(08:45):
so we said, well, we're still here, let's do it.
I don't know what motivates us. Look, I don't want
to go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's still the phenomenon carrying on.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I really believe that everybody out there who buys
tickets to the Happy Together Tour and who love it
and are a slew of them, are just wanting to
make sure they're there at the last one because they're
wondering how long we're all going to be going, and
we're wondering how long they're all going to be coming.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Excuse me, aren't we all doing the very same thing?
We are trying to find out how many more we
can make, and they're trying to find out how many
more they can make.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
It's that it's that list they make, sort of like
who's going to die next? We always go all right,
who's dropping first? The bands or the kids, because you know,
because if one goes ooh, it's over others so much
and depending on crazy so much. Like that, And that's
another thing I think drives the cohesiveness is we feel
(09:46):
that cohesiveness and we're tugging at each other holding it
together yet another year. Yeah, let's celebrate again.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, yeah, you feel it on the side stage, even
like when we're all just hanging out, we're almost kind
of all like this year, I feel like we're all
loo to each other, going, holy.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Cow, it's it's us again.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Am I allowed to share the thought
that you think that they should get the cameras rolling
and document this to it before it's historically over.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I believe it shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I can't believe, you know, the powers to be I
have never really thought about that. That's another element they
could sell, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But yeah, shows and old footage with the boys in
it too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know it's not like, oh,
we'll flowing in. You're going, well, no, they're not, but
you know what, and it could work. Yeah. No.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The incredible thing is that they're not gone because why
because their songs are still being played in the in
the Happy Together Tour concert and again we know it's
about these songs.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The people know.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Howard's the one who said.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It to the music. Yes, he told me that.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And he told me his analogy was, well, Suzu, if
the original artist can't do the song, he goes, well,
then I guess then we should get rid of all
the sidewalks Santas too. Let's just tell the kids there's
no Santa or yeah okay, I mean that was his analogy.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But picture the end of this thing, if they really
sort of did it. We Ai Howard and Market right
into it, just a I am right onto the stage.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Right yeah yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
My god, it'd be so big.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I just had a visual of two zoom like two
zoom boxes up behind us, and it's our podcasts with
both of them, Howard trying to get his thing and
Mark with his thing sliding.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It's two of the visuals.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yes, that's good, that would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, we'll see you guys, because this term is amazing
and it ain't letting up. That's what we learned.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So yeah, I think I'm probably brooking a lot of
these shows right as we're leaving.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So so we think that we need to take care
of some business with you folks and tell you about
our gigs coming up. Because first of all, the venues
are listening. We appreciate you listening and checking up on
us and keeping us on our toes or we'll forget
and we don't want them to happen. You know, we're
all in this together, right, so we do want everyone. Now,
(12:18):
the tour ends on August thirty first. On September third,
we are at the Kennedy Plaza on the Boardwalk in
Atlantic City for the Kennedy Plaza Marty Grass on the
Boardwalk celebration. Now I got all the news. Now you
believe this a big deal with seven pm, all ages
(12:43):
two three oh one boardwalk and that's what we're doing
September third, we can close out the summer together, folks,
and that's a full band. We'll have a party September tenth,

(13:47):
This is our trio show, guys, and we're loving our
trio show because we visit more. We cant just give you.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
A little bit screen in magic. We might do some
magic in our show who Knows Magic?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Why no, No, I thought you were saying she can do.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Magic all things. We are magic.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We could do magic, and we could one more at
the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Our third or fourth return to tom Ball, Texas December
fifteenth with our Christmas Show, which is kind of tests
our show with stuff some Christmas songs scattered through it
at the and if you have a real nice experience.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
There, that is all come down as you go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm locking down. So he shows up because guys, we
get confused. Okay, we don't know, we can't believe how
busy we are, and we start going like you'd learned
that resistance. You learn why people have calendars. But these
calendars are their assistance. Not every time I told someone,
(14:49):
you know, but sometimes you need to organize yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Calendar can be dramatic. Look at her. Hey, don't get
me started, now, look at that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And then we've got the Flower Car cruise, and we've
got Abbey Road down the river, and we've got a
hobby gross weekend coming up that will tell you about,
you know, as soon as we tire out details on that.
And I think that's it, except we're working out an
Illinois gig with the Association and the vogues. I think
in Illinois will let you know about that dropped no
(15:21):
wrong bench and we came in as off the bench.
Yeah right, and now people, you U should understand our
pool is shrinking. But so the fact we still have
a bench. I mean, Garrett came off the bench from Mark.
We came off the bench for Jane the Americans. We
got a bench. Okay, So as long as you have
the bench, you can go longer than if you don't
(15:42):
have a bench. So I want everyone to know there's
plenty of us.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Here and uh, we're money of us still here.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We love this lineup so much. We were wondering if
they might take the exact same one out, And I
wonder if they have ever taken the exact same line
out twice in a row. The line about twice in
a row. They're happy to get the well we have
six bands, No, we have, but it hasn't been this.
I bet this might break that mold because you know,
(16:09):
everyone feels and they feel it's a very good show, you.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Know, very good, Yes what you got. No.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I was just gonna just to Bob's point, we have
been told by people that we trust and understand and
know that the lineup of songs, the lineup is pushing
this thing forward.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And we had a great summer, and we're having a
great summer, and.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
They feel that perhaps just the lineup of all these
songs in their particular way are are really great for
this year.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Since came towards the end, the focus became more on
this Now. In the beginning, well we need spanking again
the association, We need this group in that group. But
now you start thinking of the shows, Well, what four
songs do we want to put there? What four songs
do we want over here? So that's what Paul going by.
Now they're looking at what does this show sound like
(17:02):
more than what does it look like? Because we all
know what it looks like, right, we sure do, right, right?
I like Anthony, Little Anthony. After two songs, he goes,
I gotta sit down, and then he says when he
does that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And then he sits for two seconds.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
He sits there, and then he gets back up and goes,
okay now, and he's little Anthony.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So when he sits down, he gets applause. Okay, yeah, yeah,
they applaud anything Little Anthony. Does you guys, it's amazing
to see.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yeah. I guess when you're eighty four you kind of
deserve an applause for almost anything you're doing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, people to applaud me because I successfully sat somewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't know, because that means that I'm still working, right.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, well yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah. Remember also, guys that we have a radio show,
and I know it's spent a long time. We're still
waiting to hear from serious and it's still in the
mix up there. Okay, big things happen, it takes time
for them to happen, Thank you. It's Chronicles nine send
point nine the River. The episodes are really good, you guys,
and they're all up there. You can just you know,
(18:15):
mic this. These people are amazing. They're editing and what
they take you don't know. It's amazing to hear somebody
make a show out of pieces of things you give them.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, that is because it really.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Is your part and you always walk away going.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Or miracle workers.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well they are, but you know, but still it's interesting because.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
There's a million interviews with a Gary Pucket, you know,
in the world, and there's a million of this and
a million of that. You know, but for whatever reason,
they think that our situation is unique in that we're
friends with them.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You know, it's not like that is a.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Unique position to be chatting with somebody from.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, you're going to get.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
A history the same, you're going to get it delivered
way different.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Right, So to Mike Curtner's point, Okay, in the way
that Saturday Night Live and remember the guy was it
Don Kirshner's rock and roll shows? That was rock concert
rock concerts, those those musical appearances are so historic and
in one place from all these bands. So we have
these interviews in one place. It's like you click in
(19:27):
and you're you're already there. You got them all right there.
Ye have always on YouTube and you can look up
this and look up that isolated things. But this is
a really convenient spot to find a lot of good
history spoken words of the historians themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
You know, yes, great historians like ourselves.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
They have the great historians, and we did learn that
they are that everyone has a great story.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Wow, and they remember.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Made it to number one or the top of their game.
But their story is not unlike everybody else's.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
They just most people have a really at the end,
most humans have a really interesting story. I I I
long for a little TV show on my own or
our radio or something where I'm just interviewing people off
the street, because I find it amazing the stories that
are out.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Everybody has a story.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Everybody has a story. What's that noise?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Probably your two grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Look at this, it's a space shuttle.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Is gone.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I'm with grandkids. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. But
the funniest thing is they're only four and two and
it's this. I have it, so the other one wants it,
even if the other one just up for the first time,
because the other one had it, they wanted it immediately.
They didn't want it. It's just so funny to watch
(21:00):
you guys. But anyway, I have one.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
I have one who doesn't want to say excuse me
to interrupt a conversation and would rather go down fighting
than say.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah the tesla wills.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
With Jack and with Jack and Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
You know, of course I had two boys too, and
Jack and Ben. This is really where they learn am
I going to share with this guy? Or am I
not going to share with this guy? You know, they're
making a lot of decisions there and they're.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Also when they go at it like that, Ryan says,
I learned to just stay out of it, and they
have to work it out.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Because they are two people.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Like with personality. At once, you're teaching sharing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
At once.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
You're teaching sharing, and everybody must. But when you got
two siblings and they're looking at each other, and we
know this better than anybody, it's like we know etiquette,
but you on it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You're not in my etiquette self.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I've done this, of course, but when your grandparents,
it's new again. So I think I've heard the words no.
I think the word the sentence no, it's mine about
fifty times a day right now, because everyone's getting acclimated.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
You know it's mine, it's not.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And that person that says it's mine, that little boy,
he knows it's his. It's the funniest thing. It's not his,
it's his brothers. It's all yeah, but he'll stand true
ast toll No it's mine.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, he'll go down fighting. I've found my girls. Will
they'll know.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I'll put two girls in a room and said to
both of them, here's the thing. You both know what happened,
so you can either rotten here for days on this vacation,
or you two can come to some understanding that you
will both benefit from this trip being told And I
personally could care less what happens I do. Left you
rot for three days. I got less to do.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I don't care what you do.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's what we all learn that events we throw it
back to them. But as parents, no longer you've got
to hobb You've got a hobber. You got to get involved,
you've got to get in the middle, and that pretty
soon first two kids have turned on you. It's nutty.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I didn't know I was going to be raising additional
children as a grandparent.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I thought I was just going to be smooching them.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And it's hilarious. Yeah, so you know, I.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Mean, what else'll Hey, look, how many more days left
on this vacation we're on.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
We report to San Jose, Yes, we know the way
on July ninth, okay, July nine, and then we're.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Looking at fourteen more days.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Pretty good?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah. Yeah, Typically, guys, July's we call it weak because
it's not August, which is vicious. We call that vicious.
But we never know, I kind of we never kind
of understood why July every year for ten years has
been weak. Can't get a real answer, but I think
I think they don't want to tell us we're old
(23:54):
and we're giving you a rest or.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, and maybe at the beginning of all this, as
it was going through, they did a bunch of fourth July.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And then people were ragged, going, well.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We're getting older, man, and I don't really like working
on the fourth I think Mark or Howard was saying
to each other and then sid, let's not do it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, that makes a whole lot of htt sense.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
When we started on this tour, you guys, if you
got forty, that was good. They hit forty, all right,
and now we hit sixty fifty nine. It's just super incredible.
We love that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Anthony says the other day. I mean, Susan, we're singing.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Every night, Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's funny, guys. No, brother, we'll do six in a row.
I never that reminds me when you called me two
years ago before he came out the first time he
goes man Bob, when it was twenty cities, I said,
I can you do twenty cities? He's calling me because
but now it's forty seven. I think we're going to
fifty seven.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Anything doesn't tell him when it's sixty up. Yeah, that's
when I get called from his wife.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
How do you do it? I said, well, there's different
ways you can die, gus plane driving and bussing and not.
Now he did the buses and now he's doing the driving.
So yeah, he tested both both ways.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, it's a test for Anthony.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Actually, even this summer is a test for if he's
going to be able to say in his heart of hearts,
yes to another summer in a row?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Correct, in a row? Correct? I love that man again.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
The example of going out Crawley, you know you're gonna
have we're gonna have our hands on the jam going.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, we're gonna be some somehow right, and it'll be.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And since we're the youngest, it'll be. Come to the
happening together to watch the Castle's perform, Hits side the
Association through DA Night, the Turtles.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I just said this to Nor the other night side stage.
I came up. I went, hey, Nor, I said, I
see the future. He goes, will you do what is?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
And I go, well, we come out, we do the thing.
It's us councils. Then we run backstage and we put
on the Vogue shirts. We run out there and we're
the Vogues and on the Jasey American outfits. We come
out of the and there's three of everything.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
So we could that's so funny that we would be
hanging by a thread, I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You, because those silver shirts, it would be funny. Okay,
if I I don't want to criticize, I can't criticize.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh no, it wouldn't look good on me.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
And I think it looks like those first shirts we
got with Paul Revere when he asked us to not
he said, again, but gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I do the blue, the blue shiny show. Busy wants
the Vogues where but I and I'll just say this,
I want nice Chris Black dressed slacks under those blue shirts.
Not the genius. I bought that that would look elegant, fogus,
you know, in my opinion, actually that was I think
it would a lot of I know a lot of
(27:05):
guys go to the jeans and.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Let's try when we're done with this, in fact, let's
have try on and discuss it.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
And they wear you know, they wear a big baggy jean.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, you know, they got the three going there, but
they could. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's just to look like I'll be wearing if that
comes to pat.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
If they were to ask me, you know, what do
you think about these outfits? I go, well, I like
the shirts. You got to get rid of the baggy jeans.
This looks like there's poop in the back. And you know,
you got up a little bit. That's what I was
told about my jeans.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you now, Paul and I both said the same thing.
And you see how different we are, and that's why
we go along so well in life. You know, he
goes up and says, hey, look bagg and it looks
like you got pooping them, and I'm going black Christ It's.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Great right there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I love it. I love it. Okay, so we did gigs.
Make sure you check in on John, followed John Casson.
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Yeah, he's easy to check in on.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
He's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He's living what he wanted to live and what he
would get mad at us because we didn't want to
live it. But he's living it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And as great to see those two out there.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We got to get him back on. You know, there's
a lot happening day to day in his life. I
would thank guards is pretty groundhoggish. But but John and
Vic they're.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They're every day they're popping up New past and there following.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
So we're going to get a look for him. And
they're international, they go overseas, they go to other countries.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Yeah, amazing, other countries whatever. There.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
They were all over the place last spring. I think.
Speaker 4 (28:53):
John was certainly.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Going in other countries right now, seeing the.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Guy stole a cell phone and London or something.
Speaker 5 (29:02):

that guy's been an indentured servant for quite a while,
so he's feeling his oats.
Speaker 4 (29:09):
Oh yeah, well we got to find out.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Is it like so fun being in charge of your
own oats?
Speaker 3 (29:16):
Yeah? He should We get him back on again and
try and pick that out of him.
Speaker 1 (29:19):

Speaker 4 (00:46):
So let's get to it. Here's today's episode.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Of The Castle. Hello, Hello, everybody. That also means we're
not on the bus. Not on the.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Bus, we're inside.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Of our first break.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We got home two days ago, but you know we
were straggling in so yesterday felt like the first day home.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
And man, it is like for me anyway.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
Because you had delays, right, you have delays.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I did.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
Oh man, I was so mad.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
But this phase, people, this pace is our achy body face,
our achy body point A. Okay, you have the point
b coming. No, I'm serious because when my body stops
for some reason, you guys on the on the tour,
and you do get into the rhythm, folks, Okay, yeah,
(01:42):
first you're freaked out and you go, oh my god, no,
not the bus and there it is like a monster.
But then you enter and everything's fine. So yeah, you
get into the rhythm.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
But now, wait, the bus is kind of like Godzilla
right at the first.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, it's got this like sometimes we put the chairs out,
you got, I said at night after show. Like let's
say they're in front of the bus and the lighting
is whatever. I mean, this is something that could come
to life in a Stephen King movie. Eats us okay,
because we're right under it and if you look up,
it's so ominous.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
And it's those camping kids movies back in the seventies
where the kids go to the place in the woods
and camp on the lake for a real fun time
and everything goes to hell.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah, the bus has its own face, and you can
it has a bunch of different faces.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Actually a happy one.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Anyway, yes, at this age, getting home and realizing that
we have stopped the continual.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Motion, which is being on the road.
Speaker 5 (02:42):
Guys, because what's happening is literally you wake up and
you don't stop moving till you finish your gig and
you get back on the bus and then you stop.
But everything istuba and you don't realize get.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
Home as you establish your rhythm. At the end of June,
right there, they say, oh, you're got to go home
for two weeks, and now you've interrupted your rhythm again,
and now we're going to come back to San Jose
and the ninth and redo the whole thing. And then
August they slay us and whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
And here's what it feels like, y'all. It feels like
you get home and then you sit down and write
that first time you sit down, somebody gets out a
bunch of super glue and starts putting it in all
your joints, and then you go to get up and you're.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you guys, go ahead.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
Oh I was going to say so yeah, And on
the second leg.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
So another thing about the bus is that so now
we're going to be getting a new bus. So we're
going to get another bus, and we're going to have
to take the time to try to figure out that bus.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Which it does take a little while.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
We always hope on a great bus, but we never
really know what we're going to get. And how about
that Jay. We had a driver that was our best driver.
I think there was only one other driver as good
as him, and that was Jason. Yes, but Jay was
great man.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And let me tell you one thing about Jay, and
we just loved the guy. He was young, and we
were his very first h tour bus. Yeah. Yes, that's
when he got to drive on and he takes a
bunch of sedate old people, which is probably a good entry.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
Yeah, he's not going to get that next run.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he showed us. Jay showed us some of the
bands he's going out with after us, since we only
had him for the month, And all we can tell
any of you is that none of these bands are
anywhere near or anywhere close to being like us. So
he'll have new experiences, you.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Know, which I think for pretty much.
Speaker 5 (04:44):
I think when a guy says I want to be
a tour bus driver, he's looking for a little excitement
and he got us.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
It's like going, yeah he was I said I wanted
to be a tour bus driver. Okay, he always want.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I love it. Here was a great guy. So yeah,
Jay for sure to.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Paul's point about the bus leaving us in a month.
What this created, guys, was really a faux ending of
the happy together during June, because we had to clear
out of this bus as if it was the end
of summer. And now when we come back on July
ninth in San Jose again, it's going to be as if,
oh we're going to see the bus for the first time,
we're going to move back in. All that's going.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
On, and what we also don't know is are we
moving in for just the West Coast leg or are
we moving in for West Coast leg and then continuing
because that's a huge difference, castid is because we will
have to take everything down again and move everything.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Again if we're getting a third bus.
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Okay, and look we you know on our bus at
least the ladies, they've been in training for years, and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
We have little tiny condos, what fully decorated.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
I mean, every amenity you could want in a bunk
in a condo is in our bunks.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
So we really have to pack.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I'm can I make an observation, and since you brought
you girls up, they do these little things in their berth,
knowing that's just for a month now to show you
something how it to affects the rest of the bus.
For instance, known us for a month. We're not going
to decorate the lounge in Christmas lights because we're just
going to take him down too fast. But these girls
(06:19):
don't hold back in their berths.
Speaker 5 (06:21):
Just well, well, we'll put the Christmas lights up on
the last leg. I mean when I heard there was
maybe three buses, I was like, hey.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yeah, yeah, so and hopefully we get lucky enough to
wear this bus on the second leg. We're going to
continue to keep it all the way through August. That's
what I'm really hoping on.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
We can move.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We're hoping on a good driver because we really had
a good one and Jay isn't coming back with us.
He's taken the bus we were on onto his great course.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
You know, it's funny he's in a band.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Jay To, our driver is also in a band, and
you know, I think it was a good first bus
tour for him.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
But I think he might even have just a little
bit more.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Fun with these younger people, even though they're not as
is they used to be when they were hitting it.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But so it'll be interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
Yeah, I think he wanted to clear up a few
beer bottles, because he even said the words, well, I'm
pretty sure this next band I got, I'll be clearing
some beer bottles. And I'm thinking we disappointed the heck
out of him with a clean kitchen every time he
came in something.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I mean, you know it.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Picture Jay at home gets his first tour, He's all excited.
What's it called to happen together? To it? What could
be wrong with that happy tour? And he goes online, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
To work at a nursing home or something twenty one?
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And you go, what did I sign up for here?
Speaker 3 (07:41):
That's hilarious book, for sure.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
It's because if he looked at all of us and
I go to this example, it's my quickest one, but
it's the one that works. Is when I first walked
by Howard Tail and had never seen him or met
him yet on the first night of a happy together
to her in the dark, and it was him and
I went hey, and he he went hey, and we
just kept going and I looked at him. He I
said to myself, can that man even sing? Because we
all old and he's the best singer in the group
(08:07):
in the whole door, you know. But that's the lesson
you learn, you know. So Jay must have been looking
at us like Jesus, they're going to be asleep all
the time, right, that's too fun.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
But anyway, Yeah, by the way, a.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Note about June, guys, and this it just surprises us,
but we love it. We had the Happy Together Tour
has had a bigger June this year than last year,
and that's just a direction none of us expect. You know.
I know my eyesight's not going to get better, for instance,
So that was a shock to me that really and
I don't know if it's we all are still here,
(08:45):
so we said, well, we're still here, let's do it.
I don't know what motivates us. Look, I don't want
to go anywhere.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
It's still the phenomenon carrying on.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
And I really believe that everybody out there who buys
tickets to the Happy Together Tour and who love it
and are a slew of them, are just wanting to
make sure they're there at the last one because they're
wondering how long we're all going to be going, and
we're wondering how long they're all going to be coming.
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Excuse me, aren't we all doing the very same thing?
We are trying to find out how many more we
can make, and they're trying to find out how many
more they can make.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Yeah, yeah, I agree.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
It's that it's that list they make, sort of like
who's going to die next? We always go all right,
who's dropping first? The bands or the kids, because you know,
because if one goes ooh, it's over others so much
and depending on crazy so much. Like that, And that's
another thing I think drives the cohesiveness is we feel
(09:46):
that cohesiveness and we're tugging at each other holding it
together yet another year. Yeah, let's celebrate again.
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Yeah, yeah, you feel it on the side stage, even
like when we're all just hanging out, we're almost kind
of all like this year, I feel like we're all
loo to each other, going, holy.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
Cow, it's it's us again.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Yeah yeah, yeah. Am I allowed to share the thought
that you think that they should get the cameras rolling
and document this to it before it's historically over.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
I believe it shouldn't happen.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I can't believe, you know, the powers to be I
have never really thought about that. That's another element they
could sell, you know, or something like that.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But yeah, shows and old footage with the boys in
it too. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, you know it's not like, oh,
we'll flowing in. You're going, well, no, they're not, but
you know what, and it could work. Yeah. No.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
The incredible thing is that they're not gone because why
because their songs are still being played in the in
the Happy Together Tour concert and again we know it's
about these songs.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
The people know.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Howard's the one who said.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
It to the music. Yes, he told me that.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
And he told me his analogy was, well, Suzu, if
the original artist can't do the song, he goes, well,
then I guess then we should get rid of all
the sidewalks Santas too. Let's just tell the kids there's
no Santa or yeah okay, I mean that was his analogy.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But picture the end of this thing, if they really
sort of did it. We Ai Howard and Market right
into it, just a I am right onto the stage.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
Right yeah yeah, oh.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
My god, it'd be so big.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I just had a visual of two zoom like two
zoom boxes up behind us, and it's our podcasts with
both of them, Howard trying to get his thing and
Mark with his thing sliding.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It's two of the visuals.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Yes, that's good, that would be pretty good.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Well, we'll see you guys, because this term is amazing
and it ain't letting up. That's what we learned.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
So yeah, I think I'm probably brooking a lot of
these shows right as we're leaving.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
You.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
So so we think that we need to take care
of some business with you folks and tell you about
our gigs coming up. Because first of all, the venues
are listening. We appreciate you listening and checking up on
us and keeping us on our toes or we'll forget
and we don't want them to happen. You know, we're
all in this together, right, so we do want everyone. Now,
(12:18):

Speaker 3 (13:53):
A little bit screen in magic. We might do some
magic in our show who Knows Magic?
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Why no, No, I thought you were saying she can do.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Magic all things. We are magic.
Speaker 5 (14:07):
We could do magic, and we could one more at
the end of the year.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Our third or fourth return to tom Ball, Texas December
fifteenth with our Christmas Show, which is kind of tests
our show with stuff some Christmas songs scattered through it
at the and if you have a real nice experience.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
There, that is all come down as you go.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I'm locking down. So he shows up because guys, we
get confused. Okay, we don't know, we can't believe how
busy we are, and we start going like you'd learned
that resistance. You learn why people have calendars. But these
calendars are their assistance. Not every time I told someone,
(14:49):
you know, but sometimes you need to organize yourself.
Speaker 3 (14:52):
Calendar can be dramatic. Look at her. Hey, don't get
me started, now, look at that.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
And then we've got the Flower Car cruise, and we've
got Abbey Road down the river, and we've got a
hobby gross weekend coming up that will tell you about,
you know, as soon as we tire out details on that.
And I think that's it, except we're working out an
Illinois gig with the Association and the vogues. I think
in Illinois will let you know about that dropped no
(15:21):
wrong bench and we came in as off the bench.
Yeah right, and now people, you U should understand our
pool is shrinking. But so the fact we still have
a bench. I mean, Garrett came off the bench from Mark.
We came off the bench for Jane the Americans. We
got a bench. Okay, So as long as you have
the bench, you can go longer than if you don't
(15:42):
have a bench. So I want everyone to know there's
plenty of us.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Here and uh, we're money of us still here.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
We love this lineup so much. We were wondering if
they might take the exact same one out, And I
wonder if they have ever taken the exact same line
out twice in a row. The line about twice in
a row. They're happy to get the well we have
six bands, No, we have, but it hasn't been this.
I bet this might break that mold because you know,
(16:09):
everyone feels and they feel it's a very good show, you.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Know, very good, Yes what you got. No.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I was just gonna just to Bob's point, we have
been told by people that we trust and understand and
know that the lineup of songs, the lineup is pushing
this thing forward.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
And we had a great summer, and we're having a
great summer, and.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
They feel that perhaps just the lineup of all these
songs in their particular way are are really great for
this year.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Since came towards the end, the focus became more on
this Now. In the beginning, well we need spanking again
the association, We need this group in that group. But
now you start thinking of the shows, Well, what four
songs do we want to put there? What four songs
do we want over here? So that's what Paul going by.
Now they're looking at what does this show sound like
(17:02):
more than what does it look like? Because we all
know what it looks like, right, we sure do, right, right?
I like Anthony, Little Anthony. After two songs, he goes,
I gotta sit down, and then he says when he
does that.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
And then he sits for two seconds.
Speaker 5 (17:19):
He sits there, and then he gets back up and goes,
okay now, and he's little Anthony.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
So when he sits down, he gets applause. Okay, yeah, yeah,
they applaud anything Little Anthony. Does you guys, it's amazing
to see.
Speaker 5 (17:34):
Yeah. I guess when you're eighty four you kind of
deserve an applause for almost anything you're doing.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Yeah, people to applaud me because I successfully sat somewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I don't know, because that means that I'm still working, right.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
Yeah, well yeah, I remember.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah. Remember also, guys that we have a radio show,
and I know it's spent a long time. We're still
waiting to hear from serious and it's still in the
mix up there. Okay, big things happen, it takes time
for them to happen, Thank you. It's Chronicles nine send
point nine the River. The episodes are really good, you guys,
and they're all up there. You can just you know,
(18:15):
mic this. These people are amazing. They're editing and what
they take you don't know. It's amazing to hear somebody
make a show out of pieces of things you give them.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, that is because it really.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Is your part and you always walk away going.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Or miracle workers.
Speaker 4 (18:35):
Well they are, but you know, but still it's interesting because.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
There's a million interviews with a Gary Pucket, you know,
in the world, and there's a million of this and
a million of that. You know, but for whatever reason,
they think that our situation is unique in that we're
friends with them.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
You know, it's not like that is a.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Unique position to be chatting with somebody from.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
Yeah, you're going to get.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
A history the same, you're going to get it delivered
way different.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Right, So to Mike Curtner's point, Okay, in the way
that Saturday Night Live and remember the guy was it
Don Kirshner's rock and roll shows? That was rock concert
rock concerts, those those musical appearances are so historic and
in one place from all these bands. So we have
these interviews in one place. It's like you click in
(19:27):
and you're you're already there. You got them all right there.
Ye have always on YouTube and you can look up
this and look up that isolated things. But this is
a really convenient spot to find a lot of good
history spoken words of the historians themselves.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
You know, yes, great historians like ourselves.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
They have the great historians, and we did learn that
they are that everyone has a great story.
Speaker 4 (19:51):
Wow, and they remember.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Made it to number one or the top of their game.
But their story is not unlike everybody else's.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
They just most people have a really at the end,
most humans have a really interesting story. I I I
long for a little TV show on my own or
our radio or something where I'm just interviewing people off
the street, because I find it amazing the stories that
are out.
Speaker 4 (20:19):
Everybody has a story.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Everybody has a story. What's that noise?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Probably your two grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Look at this, it's a space shuttle.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
Is gone.
Speaker 4 (20:39):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
I'm with grandkids. Anything can happen. Anything can happen. But
the funniest thing is they're only four and two and
it's this. I have it, so the other one wants it,
even if the other one just up for the first time,
because the other one had it, they wanted it immediately.
They didn't want it. It's just so funny to watch
(21:00):
you guys. But anyway, I have one.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
I have one who doesn't want to say excuse me
to interrupt a conversation and would rather go down fighting
than say.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Yeah the tesla wills.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
With Jack and with Jack and Ben.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
You know, of course I had two boys too, and
Jack and Ben. This is really where they learn am
I going to share with this guy? Or am I
not going to share with this guy? You know, they're
making a lot of decisions there and they're.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
Also when they go at it like that, Ryan says,
I learned to just stay out of it, and they
have to work it out.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Because they are two people.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Like with personality. At once, you're teaching sharing.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
At once.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
You're teaching sharing, and everybody must. But when you got
two siblings and they're looking at each other, and we
know this better than anybody, it's like we know etiquette,
but you on it.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
You're not in my etiquette self.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
And I've done this, of course, but when your grandparents,
it's new again. So I think I've heard the words no.
I think the word the sentence no, it's mine about
fifty times a day right now, because everyone's getting acclimated.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
You know it's mine, it's not.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
And that person that says it's mine, that little boy,
he knows it's his. It's the funniest thing. It's not his,
it's his brothers. It's all yeah, but he'll stand true
ast toll No it's mine.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Okay, he'll go down fighting. I've found my girls. Will
they'll know.
Speaker 5 (22:32):
I'll put two girls in a room and said to
both of them, here's the thing. You both know what happened,
so you can either rotten here for days on this vacation,
or you two can come to some understanding that you
will both benefit from this trip being told And I
personally could care less what happens I do. Left you
rot for three days. I got less to do.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
I don't care what you do.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
That's what we all learn that events we throw it
back to them. But as parents, no longer you've got
to hobb You've got a hobber. You got to get involved,
you've got to get in the middle, and that pretty
soon first two kids have turned on you. It's nutty.
Speaker 5 (23:08):
I didn't know I was going to be raising additional
children as a grandparent.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I thought I was just going to be smooching them.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
And it's hilarious. Yeah, so you know, I.
Speaker 5 (23:17):
Mean, what else'll Hey, look, how many more days left
on this vacation we're on.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
We report to San Jose, Yes, we know the way
on July ninth, okay, July nine, and then we're.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
Looking at fourteen more days.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Pretty good?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Yeah. Yeah, Typically, guys, July's we call it weak because
it's not August, which is vicious. We call that vicious.
But we never know, I kind of we never kind
of understood why July every year for ten years has
been weak. Can't get a real answer, but I think
I think they don't want to tell us we're old
(23:54):
and we're giving you a rest or.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, and maybe at the beginning of all this, as
it was going through, they did a bunch of fourth July.
Speaker 4 (24:06):
And then people were ragged, going, well.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
We're getting older, man, and I don't really like working
on the fourth I think Mark or Howard was saying
to each other and then sid, let's not do it.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
Yeah, that makes a whole lot of htt sense.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
When we started on this tour, you guys, if you
got forty, that was good. They hit forty, all right,
and now we hit sixty fifty nine. It's just super incredible.
We love that.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Anthony says the other day. I mean, Susan, we're singing.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Every night, Yes we are.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's funny, guys. No, brother, we'll do six in a row.
I never that reminds me when you called me two
years ago before he came out the first time he
goes man Bob, when it was twenty cities, I said,
I can you do twenty cities? He's calling me because
but now it's forty seven. I think we're going to
fifty seven.
Speaker 5 (25:02):
Anything doesn't tell him when it's sixty up. Yeah, that's
when I get called from his wife.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
How do you do it? I said, well, there's different
ways you can die, gus plane driving and bussing and not.
Now he did the buses and now he's doing the driving.
So yeah, he tested both both ways.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
Yeah, it's a test for Anthony.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Actually, even this summer is a test for if he's
going to be able to say in his heart of hearts,
yes to another summer in a row?
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Correct, in a row? Correct? I love that man again.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
The example of going out Crawley, you know you're gonna
have we're gonna have our hands on the jam going.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, we're gonna be some somehow right, and it'll be.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
And since we're the youngest, it'll be. Come to the
happening together to watch the Castle's perform, Hits side the
Association through DA Night, the Turtles.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
I just said this to Nor the other night side stage.
I came up. I went, hey, Nor, I said, I
see the future. He goes, will you do what is?
Speaker 5 (26:04):
And I go, well, we come out, we do the thing.
It's us councils. Then we run backstage and we put
on the Vogue shirts. We run out there and we're
the Vogues and on the Jasey American outfits. We come
out of the and there's three of everything.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
So we could that's so funny that we would be
hanging by a thread, I'll tell.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
You, because those silver shirts, it would be funny. Okay,
if I I don't want to criticize, I can't criticize.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Oh no, it wouldn't look good on me.
Speaker 5 (26:35):
And I think it looks like those first shirts we
got with Paul Revere when he asked us to not
he said, again, but gotta do something.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
I do the blue, the blue shiny show. Busy wants
the Vogues where but I and I'll just say this,
I want nice Chris Black dressed slacks under those blue shirts.
Not the genius. I bought that that would look elegant, fogus,
you know, in my opinion, actually that was I think
it would a lot of I know a lot of
(27:05):
guys go to the jeans and.
Speaker 5 (27:06):
Let's try when we're done with this, in fact, let's
have try on and discuss it.
Speaker 4 (27:11):
And they wear you know, they wear a big baggy jean.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
Yeah, you know, they got the three going there, but
they could. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
It's just to look like I'll be wearing if that
comes to pat.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
If they were to ask me, you know, what do
you think about these outfits? I go, well, I like
the shirts. You got to get rid of the baggy jeans.
This looks like there's poop in the back. And you know,
you got up a little bit. That's what I was
told about my jeans.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
And you now, Paul and I both said the same thing.
And you see how different we are, and that's why
we go along so well in life. You know, he
goes up and says, hey, look bagg and it looks
like you got pooping them, and I'm going black Christ It's.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Great right there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I love it. I love it. Okay, so we did gigs.
Make sure you check in on John, followed John Casson.

Guys.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
He's everywhere.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
He's living what he wanted to live and what he
would get mad at us because we didn't want to
live it. But he's living it.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
And as great to see those two out there.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
We got to get him back on. You know, there's

Going in other countries right now, seeing the.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Guy stole a cell phone and London or something.
Speaker 5 (29:02):
