But let's go ahead and get these guys in. I want to bring these these MIC's up. And interestingly, one of the members of Hush Money, we found out as we were talking off air, I have interviewed before. So what we'll do is we're gonna go around the room as we like to do, and have everyone introduce themselves, tell us who they are what they do in the band.

5:15 Speaker 4: But I think we should start with the gentleman who I have interviewed before on a different show in a different venue. Go ahead, Hello, Hello, all right, who are you and what do you do in the band? Paul Bergoing, I played drums, all right, Paul, Welcome and you sir.

5:34 Speaker 5: I am Christopher Romano and I play guitar in the band.

5:37 Speaker 4: All right, Chris welcome and you.

5:39 Speaker 7: Gary Mulkegan, I'm the lead singer hush Money.

5:43 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, oh, and the bass player, and let me get that you're on a different board here. Let me make sure we can hear you. We gotta treat the bass player right because I'm a bass player. So bass players unite. Let's make sure I got that mic up nice and loud for you. Okay, go ahead, Yeah, Hey, I'm Brian Stafford, not play bass. I'm failing with the microphone here. Say something. Oh oh, there we go. Okay, cool, a little trouble get you next there. Okay, there we go. Yeah, you're you're on a separate board here, and sometimes it doesn't always go as smoothly as we want.

6:11 Speaker 4: So welcome everybody. Uh So, I love the uh I love that track party in the six o three. You guys got a lot going on. The vocals there remind me a little bit of uh, David Lee Roth. I don't know, I don't know.

6:26 Speaker 7: We've heard that a few times. Yeah, yeah, it's interesting.

6:29 Speaker 4: Yeah, you do remind me like like, if you listen carefully, obviously you know your voice is a little a little raspier than his, but but something in the delivery, at least on that song, it does remind me of d L R.

6:42 Speaker 7: Yeah. No, and we do. And when we play our cover shows.

6:45 Speaker 8: We you know, we do a couple of Van Halen songs, so oh you do yeah, yeah, yeah, we we play uh in talking about love and uh.

6:53 Speaker 7: Yeah, you know what's the other one said? You really got it? He really got me? Thank you.

6:58 Speaker 4: Yeah. So the obvious question, we'll get this out of the way. Where does the name come from? Hush money?

7:03 Speaker 5: What does it?

7:04 Speaker 4: What does it mean?

7:06 Speaker 3: You know?

7:06 Speaker 8: We uh we when when we pulled it together, it was a couple of years ago, and uh, there's you know, it's it's hard to get a band name together, and we you know, there was there was a lot of hush money in the news at that time, and so we wanted to kind of play fun at it and just have uh, you know, have a good time with with that. When people come see our shows, they're you know, they're contributing to the to the hush money fun.

7:37 Speaker 7: So that's kind of how it started.

7:40 Speaker 6: I like that.

7:40 Speaker 4: I like that, how long have you guys been together? How long has this band existed?

7:44 Speaker 8: So Chris and I were started it and it was interesting because I had answered an ad in Craigslist three years ago and uh and and the basis at the time we it was named Carl, Carl Brooks, and he had actually started it and he he uh, he had he had cancer and he passed away that year. And so at that time Chris and I had to decide whether we wanted to fold or where we wanted to keep doing what we were doing. Yeah, and that's when we brought in Paul and then and then Brian who came from California and UH and joined the band.

8:20 Speaker 8: He moved out here and I said to him today, I said, you don't have a lot of people that moved from California to New Hampshire. So so we we pulled Brian in and uh, the last what fifteen months we've been together, the four of us and UH and pulling. We've been doing a lot over the last fifteen months.

8:38 Speaker 4: That's fantastic. Yeah, Brian, did you did you move out here specifically for hush money?

8:43 Speaker 7: Yeah?

8:43 Speaker 5: It's crazy.

8:44 Speaker 4: Wow, that would be a great story. Yeah, you're allowed. You're allowed to make things up on the show. I don't care. I'm a I'm a marketing guy. I'm fine with that. Whatever you want to whatever you want to talk.

8:56 Speaker 9: It was a national ad and I went, man, that sounds like a great opportunity really had out there.

9:00 Speaker 4: Yeah no, I moved out for work.

9:02 Speaker 9: Okay, love the area and yeah, all right, don't regret the second of coming out here.

9:08 Speaker 5: It's beautiful et here.

9:09 Speaker 4: Even on a daylight today where we actually on a day to day. You like the snow, love the snow?

9:13 Speaker 5: Yeah?

9:13 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, all right, See I'm the I'm the opposite. I grew up here and I hate the snow.

9:19 Speaker 9: I hope I don't ever get to that point. But so far, so like the novelty of it's still super appealings.

9:24 Speaker 4: No, that's good. So you've only been how long have you been here?

9:27 Speaker 9: We moved out in August of twenty twenty three?

9:29 Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, so not not too long, yeah, little under three years.

9:33 Speaker 9: Set, it's like two and a half years.

9:34 Speaker 4: I guess now you guys have all I'm sure you've all been in other bands, right, Like Paul you were in When I interviewed you before, it was on a different show. You were in a band called Sons of Auto. Yes, and Chris you would you? Oh, you mentioned off air you had played in a band with Larry from Down Boys. Because for people watching the video feed, I'm wearing my down Boys shirt. So you had played with Larry and you probably played in sm other bands.

10:00 Speaker 5: Tend Oh you were in two time. I played the top of them when it was almost three years ago.

10:07 Speaker 4: I'll be damned okay yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay.

10:12 Speaker 5: Yeah a little bit.

10:14 Speaker 4: Yeah, nice folks, Yeah, oh absolutely no, I love them. And then uh so, what about you, Gary, So.

10:21 Speaker 7: My stare is actually a little different than these guys.

10:24 Speaker 8: So back in uh in, in high school and college, I actually was a rapper, no kidding, Yeah, And I had a song that was the single that was pushed out called step into the Future that I got to open up for Rundy Him, Season Salt and Peppa and Robin s who had that song show Me Love. That's still yeah, you still hear it every I heard it at the market basket the other day.

10:47 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that was a huge hit.

10:48 Speaker 7: Yeah, so there are so so I still uh so.

10:52 Speaker 8: I did that, and then I left the music industry when I got married and I went in the corporate world. And thirty years later, I said, I really always wanted to be the lead singer for a rock band, and I wanted to see if I could do it. That's when I answered that ad. Yeah, that's when I hooked up with this guy. Yeah, and the rest has been kind of history between all of us.

11:11 Speaker 4: So I'll be damn yeah. So yeah, because well it's not entirely surprising though, because in the in your songs, you know, there was an element of that of where you're kind of like more more singing than rap, I mean, more rapping than singing.

11:24 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

11:25 Speaker 4: Oh that's cool. That's cool, wild, that's wild.

11:26 Speaker 7: Yeah. It brings a different element to it, yeah, it does.

11:29 Speaker 4: Yeah.

11:29 Speaker 7: Yeah.

11:29 Speaker 4: And what about you, Brian, I mean, I assume back in California you were playing in bass players are always highly sought after, so I assume you had.

11:35 Speaker 9: I'd love to claim that I was doing it forever, but really I probably the most recent in terms of everybody here in terms of the history you're playing in bands.

11:42 Speaker 8: I had.

11:43 Speaker 9: I was in two bands over in California, but really that started like in twenty nineteen, so it's only been like six years I've been playing in bands. Really Yeah, oh no kidding, but yeah, two great bands. Played with friends there and then moved out here and then kind of took a year to settle in to delay the land and learn how to live out here, like how do how do you shovel snow?

12:01 Speaker 4: Right?

12:02 Speaker 7: Doing that?

12:03 Speaker 9: Timely with the weather today. But yeah, after about a year, that's when I finally was like, yep, I should start looking for a band playing and yeah, that's how I got connected with Chris on yeahne.

12:11 Speaker 4: Yeah, excellent, excellent. Now how many how many songs have you guys recorded so far?

12:16 Speaker 8: So we have the the EP has six songs on it, okay, and but we've we've got another four songs that we've already written, and we've been playing and practicing so when we what we've had to do is to get shows around here. We've created two mystiques of the band. One is a cover band where we when we play like we're playing Revo Casino on in Dover on February twenty first, we're gonna do ninety eight percent covers that night. But then we have a show on May twenty third at TAFAA in Lowell. Yeah, and we're gonna be doing a show with One Time Mountain, who's they've got an album coming out, so we're gonna be opening up for them, and that's gonna be all originals show.

12:59 Speaker 8: So we have ten originals right now that that we can go out there and fill an hour set for you know, for for bands and yeah and uh and then we have like four hours, five hours worth of covers that we have.

13:13 Speaker 7: Oh wow, okay, yeah, when we do shows, it's either three or four hours.

13:17 Speaker 4: Yeah, so damn Yeah, Taffa is a great room. Uh, although when I hear the name, it always makes me chuckle because uh h, William from Sepsis when they've been on the show, he always refers to it Asta.

13:30 Speaker 8: I say it all the time and everybody corrects me. So I'm glad I got it right the first time.

13:34 Speaker 4: I say yeah, because because whenever I hear it, you know, I started craving a Greek salad or something, you know.

13:40 Speaker 4: But yeah, but no, Taffa isn't really that's a cool that's a cool place. And then so we should talk about and we're gonna play because he said, you send me a bunch of music and it's all really good, but I do want to make sure we play a badass don't break because this song, uh, this is significant for you guys. This is going to be in a movie.

13:58 Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, Alton wa movies. It's coming out with with the horror film this October called The House.

14:06 Speaker 4: And Chris was telling me about this off air earlier. This is fascinating.

14:11 Speaker 8: But yeah, yeah, So the it's a it's it's based on a story about and if you remember in the eighties, there was this kid that was like living in the walls of this home, like he was going in and I don't know, but living, but like he was torturing this family in Massachusetts, and then he eventually killed the

14:33 Speaker 8: daughter and the mother and now he's still in jail to this day, you know. And uh, and the movie is kind of based on that story.

14:42 Speaker 7: And and so it's it's.

14:44 Speaker 3: Uh.

14:45 Speaker 8: The the song Badass Don't Break talks about the girl in this movie who's fighting against this you know, this this alleged this person that's that's that's a haunting her and her family.

15:00 Speaker 4: Okay, okay, what's the movie called to you?

15:02 Speaker 7: The House?

15:03 Speaker 5: The House?

15:04 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay. And then this is, uh, do you know when this is coming out October of this year? October? Okay, so not too far. And then so and the song is actually in the film.

15:13 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, and excellent, And we're going to be doing the rap party for them in July.

15:17 Speaker 4: Oh, very cool.

15:18 Speaker 7: We'll be performing follow all the actors in the movie.

15:21 Speaker 4: Oh that's amazing. How did the family, How did this opportunity come about? Because that's huge.

15:26 Speaker 7: So Mark Alton Wig, I've actually known him for a long time and uh, and so.

15:31 Speaker 8: He was actually part of the rap scene back in the house, but I was doing it and we were we played basketball together in high school as well, and so we go way back. And uh, he's always, uh, you know, been involved in movies and he uh, he had another movie that he had done a few years back as well.

15:49 Speaker 7: So this is the follow up to that.

15:51 Speaker 4: So, oh, very cool. That's awesome. Happy for you guys. This is great. So let's give this a spin. If you are just joining us, hush money is here and this is called this is called Badass.

21:03 Speaker 4: Yeah, okay kid. I love the solo on that. Chris, that's so so good, so good. And yeah, so hush Money is with us in studio, and we were talking to a little bit off air about uh the you know where where you guys record the process and everything, because everything sounds really good, so we should definitely give some some props.

21:24 Speaker 7: Yeah, Walker Studios in uh in Chelmsford, Massachusetts. Bob Nash is the guy.

21:30 Speaker 4: He's I think that name has come up on the show before. Yeah, how did you come to work with him?

21:37 Speaker 7: So I'm really good friends with the Evolutionists.

21:40 Speaker 8: He's a he's a he's a hip hop artist in out of NASHAUA and and he he had recorded a bunch of music there and said you want to you definitely want to work with with Bob and and we went down and Bob meshed with us, like right away, yeah he got us and uh, and you could see the way he mixed. He really did a fantastic job. And we're going to go back and record then, you know, the other songs that we've already got going and go back there this year and have him do it again.

22:13 Speaker 4: Oh very good. Yeah, it's nice when it just seems to be so organic and you know, then you know you've really got something and you know you found someone you can you can I mean, does he kind of become like a like a fifth member of the band in that sense?

22:24 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it does. He does. Yeah, he does a great job.

22:28 Speaker 8: And Chris, when you were so you can talk about how he mixed your guitars and in that song especially, Oh yeah.

22:36 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's like it's like everything is a process and there's a lot of moving parts, you know.

22:40 Speaker 4: Yeah.

22:42 Speaker 11: So he's been doing it for a while and he has a passion for what he does, and he came together and looking forward to doing some more good stuff with him.

22:54 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, no doubt, no doubt. And then so when do you when do you I had to go back in with him, is that going to be the end of the summer, end of the summer, yeah, begin and fall? Yeah, yeah, because you guys are pretty busy, right, You're playing a lot of shows, as you mentioned earlier, and yeah.

23:10 Speaker 8: Yeah, we already have thirteen shows booked for this year. We got another one that a couple more. Actually we're waiting to hear back from Wow good folks, and yeah, it's we're actually starting to book for twenty twenty seven.

23:21 Speaker 4: Oh that's fantastic. Yeah, that's fantastic.

23:23 Speaker 6: Good for you.

23:24 Speaker 4: I do want to play there's another track that we should uh play because tell us about this song Our Love. You've had some uh scored some wins with this one already.

23:36 Speaker 7: Yeah, it's so so our Love is.

23:38 Speaker 8: It's actually interesting because it, like the lyrics are actually about a guy meeting a girl when they're young and she eventually comes just becomes, uh, she becomes his wife.

23:50 Speaker 7: And it's actually about me meeting my wife.

23:53 Speaker 8: Oh okay thirty five years ago, because I act like an idiot when I first met her.

23:57 Speaker 7: Of course I was nineteen years old at the time.

24:00 Speaker 4: And then uh, and then.

24:03 Speaker 8: You know, you know, and then I avctually charmeder enough to uh to have her become my wife the years later, and and the rest is history. But the the song itself right now is streaming everywhere. It just was released a couple of weeks ago.

24:17 Speaker 7: Ninety two point five competitor but the River.

24:22 Speaker 8: The River chose it as a showcase for their local, uh local showcase, and they played it a couple of weeks ago. Very and also Wave Radio has also played it Wave Wave Wave Radio Boston.

24:35 Speaker 7: So we've been yeah, quite a few places.

24:37 Speaker 4: Now. Oh that's outstanding, very good, very good. Well let's give this a spind Uh. This is called Our Love and again the band is Hush Money.

25:01 Speaker 3: Well. I was sliding over then on Toobo, making her mind. She was hot bread in Lake's do a bit in the drinking her wine hottover. Thought it was sober, smooth as very white. She was laughing at the thought. It was stilling the and her smile. And we were buck kids, stop loving you, treating you, hunting on and on and we were fun just like baby, look, jommy, look put it nothing else about me. Hello Now we were funning ways to get away. It was our time.

25:47 Speaker 1: We were young, in our.

25:48 Speaker 3: Twenties, living good and playing in bigure in our lives. She was keeping up, keeping up with him night after night. We weren't living our life. But I'm thinking my wife rest was outside and we were by l can't stop going to your breathing you on it on and all that being with b l just like babies dog is lo pull the north against the boat. I son't pull that baby baby. It's time to go to town. Hold the baby, baby.

26:47 Speaker 2: Bag, get me on down. And we were by lady can't stop loving you, breathing.

26:56 Speaker 3: You on and on and all and me with B's just like baby love, young love, put nothing.

27:05 Speaker 1: Else and.

27:22 Speaker 3: Man were.

27:46 Speaker 4: The track is called our Love. Oh wow, that was That was a big no no for a radio guy. I apologize.

27:55 Speaker 7: Sneaks in there. That was a big no no.

27:58 Speaker 4: But the song is all our love. The band is hush Money, and we have hush Money with us in studio and very very happy about it.

28:07 Speaker 6: Uh.

28:07 Speaker 4: You guys, uh, you got a lot of great tunes here. This is a this is really good. We were talking off air too, Uh. Paul was talking about how you know the process, how when you guys went into the studio, you didn't necessarily have all these songs together and some of this kind of the magic sort of happened there, right.

28:23 Speaker 12: Yeah, from what you were saying, Yeah, our Love was pretty much done, and six oh three we had done and it was basically go in and get those and then we had extra time, so why don't we just demo the rest of them?

28:37 Speaker 8: Right?

28:38 Speaker 6: And then it kind of rattled them off and it kind of it worked.

28:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, now that's really that's really good. That's really good when that happens. And then so with the shows, with the shows that you guys are doing, because Gary, you were talking earlier about how you know you kind of like some of the shows are cover shows, some of the more original bass Like, what's what's sort of the ratio there in terms of like how many shows do you guys do that are more more covers?

29:03 Speaker 8: I think it would probably be like seventy five percent for the stuff we'll be doing. But I think it's gonna flip at some point. I'm I mean, I'm very confident in what we're creating and the songs that we even don't even have on the on the CD right now and on the on on the on the EP is.

29:22 Speaker 7: Really strong. They're very strong. So I think they're gonna compliment the ones that we have now really well.

29:28 Speaker 8: And and I think that that once people starts hearing our originals more and more and more, they're going to be asking for us to do that more. Yeah, and uh, it's to get shows. You gotta we gotta do what we have to do, right Yeah. Yeah, So, but I think at some point it's gonna flip.

29:45 Speaker 4: Yep, yep. Do you guys do any covers that are kind of obscure? I've I've been in in bands where we did, like we would do covers, but they but there might be something in there that nobody.

29:55 Speaker 7: Chris, yea, Chris, that is half of the stuff we do.

29:59 Speaker 4: Would B sides really really?

30:02 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's so much great music out there, you know.

30:04 Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I think I think I've approached it in a way where, you know, I want to make people happy when we play a coup of songs.

30:13 Speaker 6: Yeah.

30:13 Speaker 11: At the same time, you have an identity where you like, you have a few you have some ideas about what you want to hear too, is you know people can identify with that, so yeah, you know, and and definitely like B side stuff.

30:29 Speaker 8: Yeah, the Jackal song just because I'm Drunk, that's one that you'll hear it at the Coach Money.

30:36 Speaker 4: Show, okidding.

30:37 Speaker 7: Yeah, Yeah, it's pretty good.

30:39 Speaker 4: So when you do something like that that maybe not everyone knows, do you like, do you ever have someone like come up to you and say, hey, I really like they just assume that it's an original and they come up to you and they go, I really like that song.

30:50 Speaker 8: We I think the way we introduce it is it's more of you know, this is for all you party here is late night ers. Yeah and uh and and it's been very well received yeah the songs, yeah, yeah, and so so that's definitely one that that we throw in there when when there's a lot of people just you know, partying it away.

31:08 Speaker 4: So yeah, I part of why I was curious is so I used to play a band called My Life Crisis a long time ago, and we, you know, we did a couple of covers and one of the songs we covered was hate by Kiss. But the thing is, unless you were, you know, a really die hard Kiss fan, you had no idea that that And we didn't say anything when we introduced it. We would just play it, and sometimes people would come up to us and I really like that, what's that one song you did? And uh, you know, and they would assume you know, and then of course we would tell them, well, no, it's not ours, that's a Kiss cover.

31:37 Speaker 4: But it was like like from Carnival of Souls, which unless you're a die hard Kiss fan you have no clue. But uh, but yeah, I was. I always thought that was that was kind of fun when when you guys the covers that you do, do you try to stay as faithful to the original as possible. Because the other interesting thing I've noticed is that you know different people and probably most people want to hear want to hear covers that sound really close to the original. But then but then there are people like me who are like if I'm hearing an artist to a cover song and they kind of put their own spin out it, I like that.

32:12 Speaker 4: It's like, I know how the original goes. I want to hear your interpretation of it, you know what I mean, Like, like, how do you guys approach that. Do you try to keep it, you try to play it straight, or do you ever kind of, you know, put at a little hush money spin on it.

32:25 Speaker 9: I would say for the most part, we try to keep it to the original. One of the reasons is because it just makes it easier to have more of a repertoire. Like when that's true, because you know, there's so many songs you're trying to have in your your whole catalog. Makes it easier to practice independently when it's closer to what like, you know, you can listen to it real quick and just play along with that because you don't have as much time when you're all together rehearsing to run through all like, hey, we want to change this up a little bit, so like let's practice it this way.

32:49 Speaker 9: Just makes it a little more economical with their time.

32:52 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true, that makes sense. That makes sense. Yeah, Now are any of you guys and other bands currently or are you all just committed to hush Money? Because I know, like Paul, I know what every drummer I know is in ten different bandsau, Yeah, I still play with sons of you do sons of Auto, so going, oh that's fantastic.

33:10 Speaker 6: It's yeah, just on the side kind of thing.

33:13 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, oh that's cool.

33:15 Speaker 6: This is the main thing. But yeah, yeah I still gam with all those guys.

33:18 Speaker 4: Oh, very cool, Very cool, Because I have a theory about that. When when you're growing up and you first get interested in playing a musical instrument, if you go to your parents and you say, hey, I want to play drums, that's like that and maybe the tuba or the two that they're going to try to actively talk you out of. And and and I think that what that has created is we're now in a we now exist in a time where there's not enough drummers.

33:41 Speaker 5: Yeah.

33:41 Speaker 4: Probably, yeah, because literally, like I'm like, I'm not kidding, Like every every drummer I know is in is in multiple multiple bands. And bass players are in high demand too.

33:51 Speaker 7: Yeah.

33:52 Speaker 9: Well they're in the background a lot, right, so they can just slide in and out of bands.

33:55 Speaker 4: And yeah, what do you need me to do?

33:56 Speaker 5: Okay, I can do that.

33:57 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, it makes it easier. Yeah, absolutely absolutely. We should play another track, let's see, because we do have a we do it. Yeah, we haven't played everything yet. What do you guys, I'll let you guys pick uh.

34:08 Speaker 7: Oh see electric shock?

38:06 Speaker 3: She is who.

38:37 Speaker 4: Electric Shock. The band is hush Money, and we've got the guys from hush Money here with us in studio. When I hear that song, the word that comes to mind is urgency. Really like there's and I like it. There's an urgency to it, you know what I mean? It does? Yeah? Yeah, no, very very cool. What's like, what's kind of is there is there a crowd favorite among these? Is there a song that you guys have that that really you just notice the crowd reacts to when you play it? Especially well, I think Our Love is the main one.

39:10 Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, okay, yeah, I agree, But I've also, like some I think I've noticed more of a reaction to the party in six o three, like when we've been up on stage playing in Yeah.

39:19 Speaker 8: Yeah, a lot of people because you know, we actually were we had it set where we would play it after Sweet Home Alabama. Oh really and uh and just kind of like say, look, New Hampshire doesn't have a theme song.

39:31 Speaker 7: Oh why don't we? You know why? Under this song be the theme song for New Hampshire, right.

39:36 Speaker 8: Right party in the sixth oh three. Everybody, everybody you know kinda we'll understand that.

39:42 Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. That makes a lot of sense. Now, are you guys playing anywhere this weekend?

39:46 Speaker 1: No?

39:47 Speaker 8: No, next show is going to be February twenty first at Revo okay, because you know in in Dover.

39:53 Speaker 4: What's what's the most interesting place you guys have played? Is there is there a particular venue you've done that, because obviously you're playing a lot. Is is there a play or do you have like a favorite venue?

40:02 Speaker 5: What do you guys think?

40:03 Speaker 9: I mean, my favorite so far was in Kingsboro at the was a block party.

40:08 Speaker 7: Block party, Yeah, block party by the bridge.

40:10 Speaker 8: We played their fair and their stage was what like the stage was was was a big concert stage.

40:18 Speaker 7: Yeah, and thousands of people at the event.

40:21 Speaker 9: And uh, beautiful day, beautiful maryor mack River. I think that's Mary mack River still learning.

40:26 Speaker 4: The local geography.

40:28 Speaker 7: That was pretty cool. I like that. I like that show.

40:30 Speaker 6: Yeah.

40:31 Speaker 12: And then the the casinos are are different than the casinos because you know, everyone's gambling, right, so there's nobody really right in front of you. Yeah, and so you're sort of playing for like a like a movie audience or they're doing other things.

40:49 Speaker 4: That's interesting. Yeah, but uh yeah.

40:52 Speaker 9: Like one of the casinos in particular at least stood out to me. It was an interesting setup. It was like it was the one in Lebanon, and it was like directly behind the bar, so you're like elevated behind the bar.

41:03 Speaker 4: Interesting picture frame the crowd was a picture frame above the bar. Really yeah, wow, that's also oh yeah, oh yeah, it's must have a lot of pictures. That sounds like such an interesting segment. I hope you got pictures of it and video.

41:17 Speaker 9: Yeah we do, Yeah, we get we get shows out.

41:20 Speaker 5: Yeah.

41:20 Speaker 4: Oh that's very cool.

41:21 Speaker 5: That's very cool.

41:22 Speaker 7: We'll play there in Halloween.

41:23 Speaker 4: Oh really yeah, yeah, we got time. Let's get uh, I want to get one more in and then we'll come back and we'll kind of wrap up and then we'll play one more at the end of the segment, right because I think I'm bad at math.

41:35 Speaker 7: But we get back to Loven and come on Baby?

41:39 Speaker 4: Okay, good, which one do you want to play? Now? We can do back to Lovin or come on Baby, and then we'll play the other one at the end to love back to love It. Yeah, all right, what should we know about this before we play it?

41:49 Speaker 5: Anything?

41:49 Speaker 12: Uh? This was this one was pretty much done too. Okay, so this one was like a solid yeah when when you went into the studio. Yeah, okay, okay, all.

46:05 Speaker 6: Henvy?

46:06 Speaker 1: This one?

46:07 Speaker 2: It's interesting because.

46:08 Speaker 8: This one we we actually we we we actually use rap uh like you know, a rap flow into the song. Yeah, so we took that uh and built it in. But it's a country kind of rock country rock like sound to it. But then we throw the rap in there, so it gives it a little twist to it, and I think it makes it a neat combination. And then one of the new songs that we're going to be doing is actually going to be an offshoot of that where we're gonna call it baby come on Okay, and it's kind of like a backwards version of the song okay, which is kind of cool.

46:39 Speaker 7: So when we know we have that recorded, well, we'll come back and.
