(01:07):

Congratulations. This album is is sofreaking great man. How has it been
performing these songs live? I knowthat adds like a whole nother element to
(01:52):
this, you know, this project. Yeah, you know, before I
came on tour, I was prettyworried about singing these songs live because are
really difficult to sing, but prettymuch after the first night, I mean
like it all feels really good tosing, like all of it, and
my voice has never felt better.And I think they're like like these songs
(02:15):
kind of hit a little different live. So it's been a it's been a
blast, I bet. And Iwas like thinking, like, yeah,
how do you keep it going?All tour along? Like you're like,
are you drinking throat coat with somehoney? Like what are you doing back
here? Take us through like something? Yeah, take us through some like
backstage you know, rituals, Likehow do you get ready for it?
It's a great question. I haven'treally figured out anything that like that I
(02:38):
do every day and I have todo it. I just kind of like,
I don't know. I just tryand take care of my voice.
I I do the throat coat thing. I brought a steamer, but I
haven't used it. Yeah, Soyeah, that's really it just like drinking
a lot of water, trying tostay healthy and be twenty one. Then
(03:00):
else too be one. So there'stwo things about Philly that you need to
know. You know, two wordslike john is a word you could use
in flavor. Heard the word john? Yeah? Wait, John j A
W n oh John John. Andthe cool thing about John is you can
use that with anything, like aJohn could be a person. Have you
(03:22):
have you seen that Joan? Wow? I've never heard that. No,
alright, bro, look at thatJohn boom Wow, that's nice. Another
thing is to either say hey,what's up? Or goodbye? It's interchangeable,
go birds, go birds? Noway? That actually a thing?
Yeah? Yeah, Hi? Orby what's up? How are you go?
(03:43):
Birds? I have just I havenever heard of either of those things.
That's so great. You could useboth in a sentence and they'd be
like, oh wow, so wherein Philly did you grow up? You
know what I mean? Like,I think you're right a part of the
street. Wow John? And gobird? Okay? So yeah if yeah,
maybe he's up on stage. Ifyou ever get stuck, just go
birds, all right, it allright, I'm gonna try the go birds
(04:06):
thing. Yeah, or you justsit yell at the word e and they'll
finish the eagles chant e A GL E s Eagles okay Philly, Yeah,
and then they'll they'll finish the rest. See. I feel like Philly
is gonna be the most passionate crowdout there tonight. Wow, Okay,
I really do I really think thatPhilly's gonna bring it tonight. Last time,
(04:26):
last time we came through Philly,they were insane, so got I
got my hopes up tonight We're gonnabring it. We're gonna bring it for
sure. A song off the newalbum that you were like, Wow,
they're responding to this bit. Becauseyou never really know or do you know
when you're putting these songs together.I don't know. Yeah, It's like
I always think I know and thenI'm wrong, So I just try not
(04:50):
to know. But my favorite songon the album is a song called My
Greatest Fear, and that that one'sactually like I think a lot of people
have been really liking that one.Same with same with be Someone Focus,
which is the first track on thealbum, I guess besides the intro.
(05:11):
But like those two, I didn'treally know how they would go, especially
My Greatest Fear. But yeah,they've been really liking those. Isn't it
ridiculous? Like you write these songsand you're, you know, in the
studio, then you perform and youcan see their fans let's like scream it
back at you for the first time. Like that's just gonna be nutty.
Yeah, and it was. It'sit's been a crazy transition. The first
couple of shows we did on tourwere like, no, like the album
(05:33):
was not out sure, so itwas just like performing a lot of these
songs with no energy, sure,because you're hearing it for the first time.
Yeah, but like now that theyknow the words, it's crazy.
I bet yeah, slow it down, cry, I mean, you can
go on. This album is superspecial, man. So congratulations. And
if you listen to the New ninetysix five at any given time, you're
