This is Frosted Tips with Lance bats

0:07

an iHeartRadio podcast. All

0:12

right, so People magazine just came out

0:14

with a sexist man, of course, and somehow we were

0:16

all left out of it. But uh,

0:18

Mark, you were named sexiest.

0:24

It was an obvious choice.

0:25

And I think he and Stephen Jenkins are third

0:28

eye blonde or no.

0:30

But that was well deserved. Listen, you

0:32

were supreme.

0:33

I mean you still are, but father

0:36

Time is undefeated, as they say.

0:39

But it was fun.

0:40

It was fun accolade. It was fun.

0:41

Like you know, but if you can't hang your career

0:44

on songs, it goes away. As you know

0:46

that, as you know that no one's coming.

0:48

Here, it goes Oh you were a sexy guy in ninety

0:50

eight. They're coming to hear these songs again. And

0:52

I think all of us in this room can appreciate

0:54

that us have that moment you were sexual.

0:57

How about the duet you did with Twain

0:59

that one time, like one of the.

1:01

I said, okay,

1:03

party for greatest thing about that recorded

1:06

this?

1:06

Uh her new song on her Greatest Hits record.

1:08

By the way, just got a diamond thing from

1:10

her Sugarte and everything smelt diamond.

1:12

I've got a Diamond uh black of my

1:15

Math.

1:15

Yeah, that was awesome.

1:16

Recorded that song with Mutt Lang before the

1:18

divorce in her Swish

1:21

cast.

1:26

Everybody Wearing White.

1:27

Is he is tough as everybody says he is as

1:30

far as he was.

1:31

By the way, Joe, you can say

1:34

obviously say I'm in there,

1:36

you got pro tools broke because you're gonna need a lot

1:39

you like copping lyrics because guy.

1:41

How did that happen? By the way, like how did this exactly?

1:46

Because rock Star in the nineties

1:48

where we're kind of cracking a little bit, you were.

1:50

Totally killing it. But I like, what, like

1:52

what was the connection? Like, I'm just curious

1:54

about the details. David the management, I was

1:56

just confused and flatters you were

1:59

you were an American Idol judge too was.

2:03

Here's the thing. I don't want it to get lost

2:06

that Mark isn't a good vocalist, because.

2:07

He is incredible.

2:08

Listen to the vocals on the Guys songs.

2:11

I know you gotta listen.

2:15

Try to sample one of your songs.

2:17

Stuck here with boy banders, so he has

2:19

to like but

2:23

Mark's vocals are up there with everybody

2:25

else here. He's an amazing singer.

2:28

He's gonna be humble, and I know it's probably a

2:30

difficult situation to be here with guys that

2:33

pride themselves on you

2:35

could.

2:35

You couldn't make it before pro tools, if you couldn't

2:38

say fans of yours.

2:40

I've heard you use that pro tools quit before

2:42

you're an incredible singer. Man, It's just you know, Irish,

2:46

what am I going to? We're huge fans of yours as

2:48

well, and.

2:50

None of.

2:55

Switzerland to the castle and

2:57

everybody's wearing white linen and certain like

3:00

be juice and all in my juice

3:03

for three days. That was in the Shania Twain

3:05

orbit. She's lovely and he was lovely.

3:08

But the the dude was

3:10

there that ended up taking Shanaya,

3:13

and the nanny was there too, and

3:15

I was with my manager.

3:16

I go, it's just kind of like a little bit of but it was a bit of

3:18

a vibe day.

3:19

And then we get home three weeks later, Shani

3:21

has divorced literally so we saw it happening

3:23

in real time. Crazy, crazy,

3:25

crazy, one of the best experiences of my life because

3:27

Shani was just so.

3:28

Love skiing Ski Castle.

3:31

Uh it could be, but it

3:33

was out late and it was straight out of Central

3:36

Casting.

3:36

It was what your dream castle

3:39

would be.

3:40

My dream is to live in a castle.

3:41

Isn't like I should?

3:44

Should you can't get some

3:46

good you know you

3:47

can.

3:51

Castles are cheaper than real estate.

3:53

And relative

3:57

it depends.

3:58

I mean, if your Ireland is beautiful, but you

4:00

gonna be in Ireland, you know what I mean, you're

4:02

gonna miss your home.

4:03

It depends on you know.

4:05

But for like, you know, a regular home in l A. You

4:07

could buy like a nice castle up in your very

4:09

true.

4:09

But castles are like private planes. You get

4:12

in for three or four million, but it's five million a year.

4:14

And you know what I mean, you could.

4:16

Have been read for that.

4:16

You get the moat, you know, you got to take the mod

4:19

you know, you just gotta be you know,

4:21

the alligators. You gotta have a toilet.

4:24

It's that's not working.

4:27

I mean, yeah, you have to poop through a whole.

4:30

Someone's gonna like those. You got to feed

4:32

the gargoyles, you know, I

4:38

mean, it goes on electricity.

4:44

I have a question.

4:44

I have a question so you, I mean, all of you have known each other

4:46

for a long time throughout this

4:48

business.

4:50

Is there anything a couple of years you.

4:52

For my life actually looking at because

4:55

Man you know, and Jared because

4:58

the Joey's managed. Jared

5:00

Paul was my first manager I ever had. Oh

5:02

really yeah, and so

5:05

like right after American Idol like and

5:07

and it was because of e Man So

5:09

who worked on Writer Man

5:12

wrote and produced crush My. Really we

5:14

worked on your album that you released

5:16

And was it two thousand and eight that you released her two

5:18

thousand and seven?

5:19

It was we met in like two thousand

5:22

actually, so we go way back.

5:24

Yeah, and so like Iman is who

5:26

got me my first manager, which was Jared Paul

5:28

with your manager. And then I went to your concert

5:31

where I got you confused with I guess Jordan with

5:33

the thing.

5:35

Yeah, because confused.

5:36

I'm not gonna lie. Here's the

5:38

thing. Natasha Bedingfield was opening for y'all.

5:41

I was obsessed with phenomenal

5:43

Thank you. I was so starstruck

5:46

by Natasha Beddingfield when y'all come to,

5:48

like Jared had y'all come to say hi, And I was like, yeah,

5:50

I was looking at Natasha and I didn't

5:53

and I was I wanted to meet y'all too. It's

5:55

just that I was starstruck by Natasha because

5:57

any but like it was

5:59

a great concert. Everyone was freaking

6:02

out. Can I just say how like Avid

6:04

the New Kids?

6:05

Yeah, Watts,

6:12

you guys are really lucky.

6:13

But you curated yourself to know what

6:15

you give back to the fans.

6:18

And everything. Wait back to my husband forgets.

6:20

Is there anything no, no, no, anything you've ever wanted

6:22

to ask each other? Anything anything you've

6:24

ever wondered about each other back in the day groups,

6:27

did you like dislike one of them?

6:28

Secretly? And you have a reason.

6:30

I've got a question for everybody here because I get asked

6:32

all the time and I've got different answers

6:34

for it all the time. But I want you guys to

6:36

take one that one moment

6:39

in your career that was the most

6:41

unforgettable moment. I can't believe I'm doing this

6:43

like and not like, hey there was this and that just that

6:45

one moment you go, my god, this is blowing

6:48

my mind. Jeff, do you want to go for you guys can think

6:50

about it or lancet.

6:51

I know mine. It was

6:53

a super Bowl halftime show with with Aerosmith,

6:56

which in Aerosmith's my favorite and

6:59

Brittany.

6:59

Came that day. Ever ever

7:02

looked fall.

7:03

Any, Nelly and Mary Jay at the end, but it

7:06

was to go back and forth with Aerosmith

7:08

at the because I'm a huge NFL fan. I

7:11

mean, it was just the biggest moment

7:13

for me ever and I mean I think.

7:15

About it and as a fan, that was the first time

7:17

I actually really paid attention to

7:20

to US halftime Super Bowl. So I

7:22

was like twelve, I think at the time, was in seventh grade,

7:24

and I just remember being like, Wow,

7:27

this is epic, and before that I never cared.

7:29

Yeah, that was when that one just often

7:31

listed as one of the top ten always of

7:34

all time.

7:35

Yeah, that gaven Stick a gravitas

7:37

like you're in sanc and Aerosmith

7:40

and Nelly.

7:40

It was just amazing. And it was like.

7:42

Because they were the anchor, they were they

7:44

were the main attraction at that time.

7:47

People, you know, which is really cool.

7:48

It was fine. That's when MTV would produce the halftime.

7:51

It was just epic. What about you, guys,

7:53

what's your like, what's your favorite moment so far in your

7:55

career?

7:55

Yeah, it was like a wow, I can think about is

7:58

watching you like, no, sorry, but

8:00

it's a random thing. Does nothing to do. I'm

8:02

just thinking about the magazines. When I was talking about

8:04

you trying, like when you're gonna going

8:06

to go to space, I want you

8:08

to still go to Yeah,

8:11

we please send. There's

8:14

still a whole generation of millennials that are waiting

8:17

for Lance Pas to go to space. Magazines

8:21

did you go through train.

8:23

Certified?

8:25

It was a week before my launching, like.

8:30

A very important certif blah.

8:34

He lived on a Russian base for

8:36

six months. That's a

8:42

for the millennial.

8:44

At least send this man to space.

8:45

All right, listen, Mark asked a question, and

8:47

he only asked it so we would ask him.

8:53

Tell me what would you want for? Was it?

8:54

Was it on?

8:55

It was final American Idol.

8:57

It was like after the fact because I didn't realize

8:59

it was going to be as a special of a moment

9:01

for other people and for me, Like

9:04

the reason why I do what I do and why I sing is to

9:06

connect with people. Sure like that's my favorite

9:08

thing, even like from a person a person thing

9:10

to to a performance to an audience

9:13

or on a TV show. When I sang imagine

9:16

on American Idol, I didn't think

9:18

it was going to be special.

9:20

I thought I was gonna get voted off because everyone else was doing

9:22

these rock and seventies songs like upbeat

9:25

fun and I was like, oh my gosh, I'm gonna

9:27

I'm gonna put people to sleep.

9:29

No, that doesn't work on American Idol. If you can sing a

9:31

song that you could kill vocally, that's.

9:33

Going to win.

9:34

I didn't know what that was, you know, I was I just

9:36

turned seventeen. I just thought, Okay,

9:38

like this song I like and whatever, and

9:41

and like my they were going to have

9:43

me sing another song?

9:44

What was it?

9:45

You made me so very happy? By blood?

9:50

But my dad, my dad had heard me sing

9:52

Imagine before. He's like, David, you should sing

9:55

Imagine. And

9:57

I was like okay, And so I was like, sorry, but can

9:59

I change my song? And I felt bad? And

10:02

they were like, okay, let's say if we can get it clear,

10:04

and they did and I sang it and I was just like,

10:06

okay, I'm gonna get voted off because I'm going to put

10:09

But for some reason, it connected with

10:11

people, and that's what people to this day,

10:13

Like last week, people were I

10:15

have people coming up to me last just last week

10:18

saying when you sing Imagine, I'm

10:20

like, I don't know why. But

10:22

the reason why I love that moment is because

10:25

it allowed me to connect with millions

10:28

of people.

10:29

And I heard you saying it was like my

10:31

favorite rendish I've ever heard of the song at the time,

10:33

so I can listen to it in my head

10:35

and I know exactly like your inflexes and everything, because

10:38

I just remember that as a family, Joey.

10:40

That's why I asked the question. I

10:45

just wanted to get back to it.

10:46

It's my way of getting back to it, Joey.

10:52

It would be interesting to know having so many

10:54

experience.

10:55

I do want to say, though, I mean, you

10:58

know you you you have a voice

11:01

that, like some people say they could sing

11:03

the phone Book, right, I mean you just.

11:04

You're blessed with that.

11:05

But the way you serve

11:08

and the way you unselfishly

11:10

and humbly, you know, just

11:12

offer that gift is incredible.

11:15

But like there's not you know, so

11:17

many people have covered that song, but

11:19

like the honesty and the and

11:21

the just the simpleness that you were able

11:23

to and and obviously just the sound

11:26

that you know, God gave you for that voice,

11:28

you know, and

11:30

and selfishly I go, I have to remember that, don't

11:32

we have to remember that as artists, you know what I mean, because

11:35

we can get so cynical every time

11:37

we go after it and it sounds

11:39

so corny, you know, but like

11:41

we have to remind ourselves of that, because

11:44

that's what our fans show up for.

11:46

That's why people.

11:47

Well, we've all been beaten up by by the business,

11:49

and I think we all got into it to do

11:52

exactly what you're talking about, to serve to

11:54

do music because it's in our hearts, because we're

11:56

because we're gifted with a little bit of it,

11:58

maybe some more than other, right, But you

12:01

know, I think that that's the thing that you end

12:03

up getting sort of distracted

12:05

from was the whole reason you got into it. It's

12:07

because you just love music and you love the reaction

12:10

of people that hear you singing

12:12

and portraying these messages. So yeah,

12:15

I mean, I think you're exactly right. I'm glad

12:17

you kind of brought that up and and and for

12:19

you to just sort of kind of recollect

12:21

something that all these guys are going was

12:23

a pivotal moment on that not just

12:26

that season, but that series in its entirety

12:29

is a pretty amazing moment. And the

12:32

fact that you shared that and it's just

12:34

now coming back to you do

12:37

that for so many people.

12:38

There was only a few moments that like you really remember

12:40

from American there's so many seasons and it's

12:42

like you forget so much, but there's a few moments

12:44

of certain people singing certain songs and remember

12:47

your yours is definitely one.

12:50

And it was like Adam Lambert when he did Mad

12:52

World, that was his moment.

12:55

Yeah, it was amazing.

12:56

Kelly Clarkson had the second you first

12:58

saw her singing respect even as he was until

13:01

the last twenty four and then she's saying that and

13:03

natural woman woman killed.

13:05

It's like what you're saying, It was like the competition's over.

13:08

Yeah, but don't get it lost because you were involved

13:10

in that moment that your moment isn't

13:12

as important as the one.

13:13

Thank you exactly.

13:14

What's weird about it is it didn't feel like a moment

13:16

at the time. It was just like, you know, it's

13:18

just like you're just doing what you love,

13:21

like like singing like I would in my backyard,

13:24

and like the dogs would bark because I'd be singing.

13:27

They come over and like in drove me, Like I

13:30

realize, so like it was

13:32

just a moment, but you don't. Sometimes

13:34

you just don't realize when it's going

13:36

to be something that other people relate to. But

13:39

that's also when I realized the power of music.

13:41

Music.

13:42

Yeah, like, and that's another great reminder

13:44

though. That's the thing.

13:45

We don't get to decide what it means to other people,

13:47

you know, we just to show up. Of course it

13:50

means something to us. Of course that's so meant

13:52

something to you. But like, yeah, everyone

13:54

interprets it the reminder.

13:55

Yeah, Dave, you have to play that in your show. Its right,

13:57

there's no way you're not.

13:58

I haven't show

14:01

probably should.

14:04

I think I was.

14:06

There's like the American idol trauma that you

14:08

deal with that, Like I'm

14:11

like, I don't want to put myself back in that place because

14:13

it was amazing but also super there's

14:15

a lot mixed in with that. You

14:17

try to like cancel it

14:19

out, but maybe I should. I feel like, yes,

14:21

it's enough time,

14:25

what about you?

14:26

That's the beauty of it.

14:27

Man. It's like,

14:38

but I'm glad, I'm I'm

14:40

I'm glad.

14:41

He's aware of that, you know what I mean? And like,

14:43

again, just feeding.

14:45

Off the awareness of that that like that

14:47

was a tough time, you know, it's like and

14:49

that that's that success, right,

14:51

I mean, like we we can all identify with

14:53

that.

14:54

Is that like.

14:56

It's the biggest show in the world and you're

14:58

you're like you're right up there

15:00

with everything, and like it's it's such a gift,

15:03

but like it was hard and there's trauma and you

15:05

have to sort through that and balance

15:07

that, and like it's it's it's lovely

15:09

that like you're at a moment now

15:11

in your life that you can only get through

15:13

living. You can't snap your fingers.

15:15

It can't take five years or fifteen years

15:18

or whatever. It takes what it takes, and

15:20

like now it's really sweet

15:23

that you're like, you know what, Okay,

15:25

I walked through that. I felt that, I

15:27

felt the feelings.

15:28

I lived a life.

15:29

I went through that, and now maybe I

15:31

can look at it and I identify

15:33

with that.

15:34

I think we all do.

15:35

It's got to put distance between what

15:37

you're known for and then let it all kind of

15:39

cycle through and go.

15:40

That was pretty cool.

15:41

I'm so proud of it, and I'm so honored

15:44

anybody ever showed up and still show up.

15:46

Yes, Jeff, you talked about earlier.

15:47

We all yeah, beautiful.

15:50

So your watching, Well, it's

15:54

only forty minute segment.

15:56

A couple of things. I blessed

16:00

beyond belief. I know, we know you believe, and you

16:03

know me and the new kids.

16:04

We were like a family and

16:06

somehow we haven't screwed it up and

16:09

it's been wonderful. And I've also, you

16:13

know, been able to do a lot of things on my own. A

16:15

couple of things come to mind. I'll pick one and

16:18

it sounds like a flex, but I just played Carnegie

16:21

Hall this year, well so so and

16:23

I just turned fifty, so I did something

16:25

special. But yeah, no,

16:27

it was great. It was great.

16:29

We played.

16:31

Yeah I'm

16:34

not the guy with the shirt and the fan, but.

16:38

You probably yeah,

16:40

but it was one of all. And I had the guys there, and I

16:42

had all these meaningful people and I got to play.

16:45

It's amazing.

16:45

And the thing is what the

16:48

gift there is that I

16:50

belonged. I belong You

16:53

know what I'm saying.

16:53

We get to a place where, because

16:57

you know what I mean, eighteen thousand people

16:59

could say, what do you mean you belong?

17:01

Right?

17:01

They say all of us, and that's what we're talking about

17:04

here. But like for me, in

17:06

a very simple, quiet way, like I

17:08

belonged here.

17:09

You know what I mean? It was beautiful and I couldn't ask it never

17:11

sold anything, It sold out, sold out.

17:14

What did you say quickly?

17:16

About twenty five songs we sang for three hours.

17:18

They had to kick us off because the curfew. Literally

17:21

we cut the last song in half, called the audible.

17:24

We said, well, the one verse, I mean it was it

17:26

was union.

17:26

It is not play there.

17:30

Yeah, but a lot of different stuff.

17:32

I'll sing that's really cold,

17:34

your whole Holy Night saved on my cue,

17:37

Yes, Spotify,

17:41

Yeah, yeah, I'm going.

17:41

To go to market.

17:43

I'm still thinking.

17:44

It's it's really hard to pick. I mean, we were saying,

17:46

you're going, okay, what was I mean the first time

17:48

we heard I asked the song on the radio

17:51

was amazing, Like

17:53

we never expected this to happen. And then to do

17:56

songs with Mariah Carey and Joe

17:58

and Tevie Wonder and for

18:00

Disney, and then do Michael Jackson's

18:02

special for Luther

18:04

Vander, performing with Luther Vandals

18:07

and Usher, and to be associated

18:10

with you guys and you guys

18:12

and you guys later on. I mean,

18:14

it's hard to pick a moment. So it

18:16

sounds why, but it's

18:18

like the entire journeyism moment, you

18:21

know. And to be able to do it, I think really for

18:23

me as a fifty year old guy

18:25

too, And to be able to do this,

18:27

you guys, I

18:33

mean, just just to be doing this and

18:36

to be associated with legendary once

18:38

in a lifetime brands and

18:40

bands that that are pinnacles of music

18:43

history. Being a fan of the music. Although

18:45

we get associated with canned up pop stuff

18:47

that's packaged, we all got in

18:50

it for the lod reuse, right, And

18:52

and and to be able to be doing this that it's

18:54

been the journey. I can't pick

18:56

a moment, because singing at the White House

18:58

with Christina and Bill Clinton

19:01

in the you know, that's

19:03

that's crazy to me being from a small

19:05

town in Ohio that was taping songs

19:08

off of off the radio, going

19:10

all right, parting it out.

19:11

How did you get out of Ohio.

19:13

To you know, I

19:15

just started a group at a party trying to

19:17

sing for girls.

19:20

Yeah.

19:20

They were all friends, Yeah,

19:23

so.

19:23

So we I mean, it was really,

19:26

if you think about it now, it was really kind

19:28

of impulsive and dumb and you would

19:30

never do it. And my parents just were

19:32

like, well, he's really got his head

19:34

set on this. He's gonna go do it, and I got fortunate

19:37

enough to be paired up with a bunch of other guys

19:39

that were really, really talented, and we

19:41

worked hard and had

19:43

success and got lucky and it

19:46

all ended up being amazing. So one

19:48

moment, I don't have one,

19:50

you know, I can't pick.

19:52

Well, you just said it, and wow, talk

19:54

about like summarizing to a key like that

19:56

was a great summary, but like just be able to being

19:58

able to start something that took you on a journey.

20:01

I mean, you know, we're talking about doing

20:03

stuff that I was dreaming

20:05

about that my friends, we were from

20:08

a really small town that's a football town. They thought

20:10

it was absolutely insane and

20:12

stupid, and I was laughing stock of

20:15

my town and then.

20:16

Talking about but

20:20

later on, you know, they everybody's

20:22

gracious that you go back and support and give

20:24

back to the town, which is perfect.

20:26

But certainly this goes above and

20:28

beyond what I had envisioned

20:31

for my life and and and the impact

20:33

and things that we got to do later

20:35

on, which is an absolute blessing,

20:38

you know, uh, to be doing it this many

20:40

years later and to be still

20:42

relevant and selling tickets and not

20:46

chasing you know how.

20:48

Much because sometimes I wonder that, like, how much

20:50

longer can I do this? As

20:56

long as you stop you I

20:58

want to, I just don't know if like to

21:00

be able to get You've got a world class voice.

21:02

Now if you show up, people are.

21:03

Going to show up as long as you love it and as

21:05

long as people know that you love

21:07

it and love what you do, unless.

21:09

You want to buy a castle. And then

21:12

we got to talk to this

21:20

better be good like the torches for you.

21:22

I mean it's pretty good.

21:23

I mean, but the thing he said

21:25

is is what all of our best moment The journey

21:27

has been amazing all but you kind of

21:30

I hinted towards it, and David, you've said it to the journey

21:32

and Lance, you know, the journey has been amazing and it's still happening

21:35

and we still have magical moments.

21:36

But that one tangible moment for me

21:38

was in nineteen ninety nine we were.

21:40

Opening for the Rolling Stones.

21:42

Watch your feet, names are falling and

21:45

we're.

21:46

Opening for the Stones and I'm sitting there going because

21:48

we were a little older, my success happened.

21:50

I was twenty seven.

21:51

I was a little bit older at sixty eight years

21:53

old. Now I feel comfortable saying that

21:56

what.

21:59

Look good and.

22:00

We'll be back now. You're

22:02

impressed them, so.

22:04

Over the Stones and I'm sitting there going but you'll be

22:06

twenty five forever.

22:08

I think you will mark.

22:12

Twenty five wherever. Yeah, you know.

22:14

So we're sitting there playing and Stones

22:16

audiences are typically tough.

22:19

They're like Metallica audience. They don't want to see anybody

22:21

else.

22:21

But the Stones.

22:22

So we're going out there. We're battling, we're throwing some

22:24

punches. We had flying the arsenal.

22:26

It's med a couple of haymakers. We're battling, and

22:29

I think the audience looked at you guys, like, oh, there's a bunch

22:31

of puppies on stage.

22:32

They're happy to be here because we were. It was amazing

22:34

open.

22:34

The Stones, that's amazing.

22:35

So the last song we're doing, I went, hey, guys,

22:37

thanks for sugar at, thanks for putting up

22:39

with this one more song here

22:41

tonight.

22:42

It's called every Morning.

22:43

It just went to number one today, So I

22:45

want to say thank you all so much for having us. I don't

22:47

think this night could ever get better for me in my

22:49

career, and I want to thank you all. I looked

22:51

at my right and there was Mick

22:54

Jagger and Keith Richards at the monitor

22:56

station watching this.

22:58

I go hold on.

22:59

It just got a little bit better, and so I

23:01

was thinking of my mind, I don't think it's ever and I was

23:03

very cognizant of the moment. I don't ever

23:06

think it's going to be better than this.

23:07

So that was the moment. We play every morning and.

23:09

It was all look out there and see

23:11

Keith Richard wind the

23:14

wind where

23:17

bottle Jack Daniels I

23:19

had.

23:20

That's the coldest that they came out and

23:22

they cared enough and they're sitting

23:24

that.

23:24

That's the thing.

23:27

And the fact just to see

23:29

like legends do that, like that, the fact

23:31

that they wanted you there first of all, like

23:33

that they're not just gonna like like yeah, bringing

23:36

Joshua like you had stuff that impressed

23:39

them and made an impact and that they enjoyed and

23:41

connected with.

23:42

I appreciate it.

23:43

And it felt like that. The way they made us feel

23:46

completely felt like that. We did about ten days

23:48

with the Rolling Stones. I'd be calling it people

23:50

on my second grade soccer team, what are you doing bro?

23:52

Nothing?

23:53

The Stones?

23:59

Yeah, that was amazing. Always glad to have that

24:01

moment, you.

24:02

28:14

of waiting.

28:29

As far as like, you know, it's a little bit

28:31

I know, you're you're a boy band or whatever.

28:33

I mean, us guys have sort of toured

28:35

with each other, but it's it like who would

28:38

your you know, three.

28:40

Acts you would love to go because they're doing that all time.

28:42

All these bands are coming back together, like you

28:45

know, but who would those two other bands

28:47

be.

28:49

That It was a hugely influential l A band

28:52

came like really from a punk rock, really super

28:54

college pre alternative background. Chili

28:58

are gods, right, I said, I feel as

29:00

the pots go, I'm not comparing because they're they're

29:02

the next level, but there's.

29:04

There's a synergy.

29:05

Oh yeah, yeah, because I

29:08

mean they were such an influence

29:10

in our band.

29:11

Yeah, you know what I mean, just to get on stage, the

29:13

energy and all that youse.

29:14

Guys had put out. I know a little bit

29:16

about your background. Yeah, and you guys were influenced

29:18

by more of that rock rock sort of scene. I

29:20

know a lot of the songs you ended up putting out seemed

29:23

to be a little bit more in the pop lane. But you guys

29:25

were influenced by the Chili Peppers and

29:27

some of the other punk rock scene.

29:29

Yeah, yeah, I

29:31

mean we got signed as a rock and roll then, you know what I mean, That's

29:33

what we did. We had two songs we got signed.

29:36

We lied to Atlantic Records. You could do

29:38

that back then. Yeah, you know, we had

29:40

two songs. One was called Kaboos, the other was called

29:42

Lick Me Yeah, and we made it.

29:44

We made a video.

29:45

McGee or Buddy McGee made a video

29:47

to caboose I'm thirty five millimeter

29:49

tape, so it looked ready to go, and

29:52

Doug Morris founded Atlantic Records and goes, I

29:54

don't know about the song kind of sucks, but this

29:57

band looks fun and this is the grunge area.

29:59

Mind you early sign these fans.

30:01

They're having fun. That's how we got signed.

30:03

Not on music, not in capabilities, not in

30:05

talent. So we had to play catch up,

30:07

you know. So the first record was that Kids in a Candy

30:09

Store. We'd be like doing sex whistle song,

30:12

red pepper songs with a little bit of hip

30:14

hop in there.

30:15

And as you play more in toward the world.

30:17

You get better as musicians and songwriters, and

30:19

that led to Fly and the rest of the hips.

30:21

Yeah, that's how it worked.

30:22

All that.

30:23

We did everything backwards, still doing this day.

30:25

That word don't sing it better than

30:28

me about

30:30

it.

30:30

Here's the thing you got, swag like, that's the

30:32

thing that like made.

30:34

You got the ridge.

30:35

You got the ridge you got.

30:36

The frost tips

30:39

still wrong.

30:40

Crost tips are like Dumbo's feather for us. You're

30:43

like, you know, as long as we have to power

30:46

good. Well, guys,

30:48

it has been so much fun catching up with

30:51

you guys. Happy holidays,

30:53

what like what would you like

30:55

to tell your fans right now for the

30:58

31:00

with you guys?

31:01

31:04

to be here with all you guys. I don't know what to expect

31:06

tonight. It feels like old friends, you know, like

31:08

31:11

you know, and it's always been course and fun. But I think we

31:13

really like grinding it out today and talk about things

31:15

that I feel like a connection you guys that will always

31:17

have and to build these friendships as

31:19

we get older. And you said something very

31:21

you know, uh particular tonight when you

31:23

said, like we we are the nineties, dude, that's our

In nineties when we need to be. Yeah, we're in

31:37

the nineties world.

so fun with Frosted Tips, because I love

interviewing. I mean, that's what I've been doing for so many years,

35:52

35:55

specifically getting to know you guys,

because yes, we crossed pass throughout the last

35:59

twenty years and great, but like to really

get to know you guys and see where your heads are and see

all the similarities that we all

have, but to see that we all

could like call you guys anytime, be like, hey, I

36:20

need you know, can you help me with this? And y'all

36:22

would just jump at the chance. So, like, I just

36:24

love that. It's it's a fun family. And I don't think a

36:26

lot of people could ever get that understand unless

36:28

you kind of walked through that. But

36:31

it's a fun club to be a part of it. I'm glad
