WEBVTT - PAT MONAHAN: TRAIN Greatest Hits 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:12.440 Hello, my friend. I'm Delilah, welcoming you to my new 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:19.520 podcast series, Love Someone with Delilah. We've renamed the series 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:24.080 this year. Last year we started doing really good podcast, 0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:31.760 really amazing podcast. But we decided that since I believe 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.480 the most important thing in life, the most important thing 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.839 in a marriage, the most important thing in being a 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:45.280 good parent or a good member of your community, is love, 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:50.640 the single most powerful tenant that we all should share 0:00:51.680 --> 0:00:56.440 is love. For all the years I've been here on 0:00:56.600 --> 0:01:01.440 the air, and it's been many, I've employed my listeners 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:08.120 to love someone romantically. Sure, we talk about that a lot, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.560 but love is a hard to heart connection we're able 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:16.600 to make with anyone and everyone at any time, in 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:23.000 any place, not just romantic love between partners. Love is 0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:28.000 a shared smile, it's a kind deed. It's a moment 0:01:28.040 --> 0:01:33.480 of sincere listening when someone needs to unburden their soul. 0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:40.240 It's setting aside your own agenda to champion another's. It's 0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:46.559 being present and accountable, and that's that's hard to do 0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:50.919 in this day of social media, because so many people 0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:55.640 are distracted. Love is being present, it's being accountable. It's 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.120 showing up. It's showing up for life's moments. It's being 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.400 there when your daughter is getting ready for the prom. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:09.200 It's being there when your son is got a speech contest, 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.919 or is in a play on stage. It's being there. 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:17.919 It's showing up for life's moments. Thank you for allowing 0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:22.320 me to share these precious moments with you. I also 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.000 got to say thank you to my podcast sponsor, the 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.720 Home Depot. They do so much to help you and 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.079 I when it comes to remodeling different rooms in our homes. 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:35.519 One of the more intimidating rooms to remodel and renovate 0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:39.720 is the bathroom. The Home Depot makes that project so 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:44.240 much simpler. It can start with the countertops and the vanity, 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.600 maybe a new sink and the faucets as well. When 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.800 you visit your local home Depot, you'll see the large 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.480 selections of vanities they have and all the different choices. 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:59.760 The very helpful Home Depot associates can help you match 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:03.120 up a new vanity with the sink and the faucets 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.399 that you like the most. You'll be surprised at how 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.080 far you can go with their help and the sense 0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:13.480 of empowerment you'll have planning it all out. The home Depot, 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:18.720 more Saving, more Doing. Today's guest on Love Someone with 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:24.280 Delilah is a singer, songwriter and musician whose name may 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.360 not be as familiar to you as his band. Pat 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:32.120 Monahan is the front man for the iconic rock band Train. 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:38.200 He's funny, he's charming, and according to him, a supermodel 0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:42.720 good looking as he is, according to me and several 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:47.640 million fans worldwide, talented. Pat visited with Me in My 0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.680 Studios recently to talk about his upcoming summer tour with 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.600 the Goo Goo Dolls and a talented young man named 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:59.200 Alan Stone. The tour kicks off in Seattle on June seventh. 0:03:59.760 --> 0:04:02.600 Also had the chance to talk about his new Train 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:08.040 album Greatest Hits, which features the phenomenal Kinney g on 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.760 Careless Whisper and I was honored to hear of Pat 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:17.640 and Train's passionate involvement. Passionate involvement. They are so committed 0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.080 to this. It's called Family House. It's a Bay Area 0:04:21.200 --> 0:04:24.760 retreat for families that need a place of dignity, as 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:29.919 Pat says, to collect themselves while their children undergo serious 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:35.599 medical treatments, many of them for childhood cancer. Whether it 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.760 was music or giving a helping hand or just chatting 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:43.600 about random things. One powerful thread was woven through every 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:47.360 moment with Pat, and that was the thread of family. 0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:52.120 You'll fill chills when he shares how his hit single 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.160 Drops of Jupiter, which I've been playing for years and 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.840 never knew this story when he tells you how that 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.880 song came about, and many of you, either from a 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.400 child or parent's perspective, will relate on some level. When 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.320 he mentions how his grown son, who's also a musician, 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.840 doesn't share his work with his dad. Women, you will 0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:19.560 swoon and applaud and maybe feel a lethal beat of 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:24.280 jealousy when Pat makes a Game of Thrones reference to 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.200 his gorgeous wife and mother of his two youngest children 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.200 as the Kalisi. He holds her in such honor and men, men, 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:37.080 maybe you'll be inspired to tell your wife that she 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:42.520 is the Kalisi in your life. Family is what binds us, 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:46.640 whether that family is one created by a marriage and children, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:51.159 or relationships that we have forged in other ways. I 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.920 call it my tribe because my family isn't just blood. 0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:59.880 It's people that God has woven together into a one 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:07.520 wonderful family of eclectic eccentric incredible people. It gives us 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:11.200 a sense of belonging and where we find ourselves giving 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.960 in ways we didn't even know was possible, and receiving 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.880 so much more. In return, chapter eleven of my book 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.159 that came out last year, One Heart at a Time, 0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:25.240 is titled A Connected Heart, and in it I talk 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.960 about my mom, my Mama Bear, my mother, Wilmadine, and 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.839 how she had such a loving, giving heart. She also 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:38.440 had really big feet, big bones, and a big, quirky, 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:44.159 eccentric countenance. She taught me many life skills and many 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:49.560 important lessons, but most importantly, most importantly, she taught me, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:54.039 through her deeds and her actions, how to love like 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.520 only a mama can or a parent can. I should 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:01.679 say I'm honored that Pat Mana and from Train found 0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:04.640 the time to share his heart and his passions with 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.960 me on this edition of Love Someone. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.119 Thanks. Yeah, thanks for having me on your first ever 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.160 incarnation of. 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:17.520 The Love Someone podcast. Yeah.

I feel pretty average, not at 0:07:23.960 --> 0:07:27.800 my best, but I'm gonna I'm gonna get in better shape. 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.480 Coming up soon. I have a golf tournament to play 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.640 in in Pebble beach.

I don't know if you notice, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:41.800 but I like, you know, a little more fit than 0:07:42.120 --> 0:07:45.240 probably last time I saw you. My motivation is I'm 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:49.360 waiting for Duayne the Rock Johnson to call me yep 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.360 and say, Delilah, I need you on Titans. 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:54.200 Yeah. 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:56.480 I don't have a TV.

But if I sing, then I 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.200 matter for an hour. You know. It's like, that's a 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:17.760 good life. 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.719 That is a very good life, and I have been 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.760 blessed to create the same life in radio. I can 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.959 go to Goodwill, I can go to the grocery store. 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.480 I mean, I walk around my little town in my 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:33.640 cowboy boots because I have horses. You know, right after 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:38.000 I clean the stalls, nobody cares, yeap, nobody cares because 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.360 I'm Blessing's mom. I'm Delilah's Junior's mom. You know, That's 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:43.080 who I am. 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.480 Most people that I run into just think I'm your 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:51.400 average supermodel, you know what I mean, just like unbelievably beautiful. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:57.920 So you've partnered with somebody that I have not seen 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:02.800 in like twenty five years, but I love him. I 0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:05.240 heard a little clip. They didn't even send me the 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:05.920 whole song. 0:12:06.480 --> 0:12:12.520 Oh yeah, we recorded Careless Whisper, and so my experience 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:14.520 with Kenny is I've only met him once, and when 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:18.440 I meet famous people, I meet you and then I 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:22.000 bail because I don't want to bother you. And if 0:12:22.040 --> 0:12:23.719 you want to have a conversation. 0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:27.160 Great, how many records sold around the world. 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.280 I just don't want to bother people because they have 0:12:29.320 --> 0:12:30.959 their lives, they want to do it the way they 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.880 do it. But Kenny's a really lovely, down to earth 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.520 guy from Seattle, so he's not full of his own 0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.440 nonsense at all. But I asked a mutual friend in 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:44.320 the golf world if I could. I was like, Hey, 0:12:44.320 --> 0:12:46.800 will you please pass my information onto Kenny. I want 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:49.839 to ask him for a big favor. He can always 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:53.720 say no to it. And so I texted him any 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.600 chance that I could send you careless whisper. We're going 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.880 to put it on our greatest hits and it wouldn't 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:00.800 be the same without some Kenny g on it and 0:13:00.840 --> 0:13:03.080 he was like, yeah, send it my way, and then 0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:04.800 he sent it back and it was incredible. 0:13:04.960 --> 0:13:08.240 So so you guys want together when you recorded, No. 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:11.760 He was in malay good. Yeah, he's so cool. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.040 So good. Yeah, he's good with me in the studio. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:20.120 Talking today is Pat from Train and you've got the 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:24.800 greatest album out and greatest hits, ye, greatest hits, and 0:13:25.000 --> 0:13:28.960 you're going on tour. Ye're starting to here in Seattle. 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.079 That's right. It starts on like. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:32.560 Thirty five thirty eight cities. 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.520 Now, yeah, it starts on June seventh in Seattle. We're 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.320 out with the Goo Goo Dolls and Alan Stone, Allen's 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:44.400 kid from Spokane who's really crazy talented. And what a 0:13:44.440 --> 0:13:46.280 great time you have with that guy. 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.520 And Goo Goo Dolls. How did you how did your 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:49.280 team with them? 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:53.440 I've known those guys, not very personally, but. 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.439 Like, do you play golf with three years? 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:57.720 No? No, not that put maybe after this we will. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.840 They're really lovely guys. And we've tried for the last 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.560 six years to put. 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:06.440 A put something together and now you did. Now we did, 0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:08.520 and you're going to be touring all summer long. 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:09.640 That's right. 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.320 So I wanted to talk to you about Drops of Jupiter, 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:20.960 the song, and your charitable charitable project with Wine. Okay, 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:24.560 so tell me about first off, the song and the lyrics. 0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:31.160 Well, it's a story about not having any hit songs 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:36.680 on our second album. We had an album called it 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:41.800 was called Something More and the president of Columbia Records. 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.280 He was listening to it and he was like, we 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:46.840 don't have a first single. So my manager at the 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.120 time said, you know, Donnie doesn't think you have a 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:51.200 first single. He want you to go to New York. 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:52.720 And the reason he wanted me to go to New 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:56.200 York is because as a band, we foolishly had a 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:58.760 deal where we were not allowed to write outside of 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.960 the band, So it was to protect other people from 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.600 me going out and writing a bunch of songs without them, 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:09.920 which held us back more than it helped us. So 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:13.600 Donnie was saying, come to New York because I'm about 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.480 to make you write with other people. So they booked 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:21.080 my flight, and my mother had passed away that year. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:24.840 I went to sleep and I woke up about twenty 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.720 minutes after I fell asleep and wrote the entire drops 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:31.000 of Jupiter Lyric and Melody down. The next day, I 0:15:31.040 --> 0:15:33.880 went to a friend's house and we demoed it up, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:35.680 and then when I went to New York, I had 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.880 a CD in my pocket, and so Donnie Einer was 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.320 telling me, you know, if this song was yours would 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.560 be a hit, and basically getting me ready to so 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:47.240 we're going to put you at a studio with these 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.040 other guys, and I said, I got this demo. It's 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.360 probably terrible if you're going to hear it. So it's 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.240 just a story about my mom telling me what it 0:15:55.280 --> 0:15:58.160 was like to be on the other side swimming through 0:15:58.160 --> 0:16:01.760 the planets and listen to it. And he had a breakdown. 0:16:01.800 --> 0:16:03.520 He was like, this is the song of the year. 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.960 You know it's going to be. It was during the 0:16:07.000 --> 0:16:09.520 same time that Almost Famous was out, so he wanted 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:12.120 Paul Buckmaster to do the string arrangement and he had 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:14.600 the big plan before I even got back on the 0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:17.280 plane to go home. So that's how Drops of Jupiter 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:17.920 was created. 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.800 So that was really mom letting you know everything is good. 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:22.920 That's what it felt like to me. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.800 Hanging out with me today here in the studios is 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:30.200 Pat Monahan of Terrain. We're talking about this summer's tour. 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:32.840 He's going on tour with the Goo Goo Dolls, the 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:37.680 new CD Greatest hits his endeavor with Drops of Jupiter wine, 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:42.080 a wine that is a charity and how it benefits 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:46.680 family house and we're talking about the love of family 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:52.400 and now you have a project raising funds to help 0:16:52.520 --> 0:16:54.840 kids who are hurting our kids who are sick. 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:58.760 So, as a Bay Area band or San Francisco band, 0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:06.440 we were seeking the right charity to partner with about 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.520 eight or or so years ago, maybe nine, about nine 0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:13.920 years ago. So every charity has a rating. You can 0:17:13.920 --> 0:17:17.200 look them up online, and many of the ratings aren't 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:21.399 very good because they spend an enormous amount of money 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:28.200 on the wrong. So this particular place was called Family House. 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.000 They had two homes and I think there were eight 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:35.160 rooms in each home. So there were about sixteen to 0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:39.720 twenty families that they could give food and shelter to 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:43.560 while their children, who most of them had brain tumors, 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:48.200 tumors behind their eyes, very very terrible things. These parents 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.240 had to quit their jobs, some of them, you know, 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:55.440 all low income families bringing their children to try to 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:59.000 have some dignity while their children are being worked on 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:02.879 and possibly not going home with them. That just seemed 0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.080 like the right partnership. So I went and visited them, 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:07.240 and I visit them as often as I can, and 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:12.240 so proceeds from wine and many other things that we 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.240 do go to Family House. And since then they've been 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:20.879 able to build an eighty family building and so it 0:18:20.960 --> 0:18:25.680 is full. One of the time, kids from all over 0:18:25.720 --> 0:18:29.400 the world go to UCSF Hospital because they specialize in 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.880 kid stuff, kid cancer basically, and so when you go there, 0:18:35.480 --> 0:18:40.040 you leave so inspired and so heartbroken at the same time. 0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:43.360 It's uh, there's there's something like that in Seattle as 0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.199 well in every other city. If you'd like to know 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.680 about your community, you know, I always say that doing 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.800 your own community is probably the way to do it, 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.760 because then you can go see it when you want to. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:58.000 But what you guys have done, just I went online 0:18:58.040 --> 0:18:59.959 and I looked at the pictures and I looked at them. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:03.359 I watched a bunch of the videos of the families 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:09.160 and their stories, and man, good work. 0:19:09.280 --> 0:19:11.840 Yeah, it's good work. And they have a lot of volunteers. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.879 My sister in law who's here in Seattle, lost a 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.399 child a couple of years ago, and so she started 0:19:18.440 --> 0:19:21.640 a charity called Season of Miracles. Her daughter was called 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:27.879 Season and Seattle Children's Hospital we've been working for about 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:32.480 four years now to try to build a garden, a sanctuary, 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:35.520 a place for moms and dads and kids to go 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:39.520 while their children are in this hospital being worked on, 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:44.000 sometimes just being sick, a place for people to go 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:49.239 to meditate, prey and the paperwork, the red tape. It 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.479 is exhausting. They have all the money that it's going 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.280 to take to build it. They just I mean, if 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.760 anybody you know can inspire the city of Seattle to 0:19:59.760 --> 0:20:03.440 help us deliver that sooner rather than later, that'd be great. 0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:08.320 I will see what who I know and put it 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.960 out there. So it's going to be called the garden 0:20:11.040 --> 0:20:11.520 is going to be. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.640 Called Season of Miracles Garden. 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:16.760 Season of Miracles Garden. And how old was season when 0:20:16.800 --> 0:20:17.560 she changed her? 0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:23.320 She is one month. She was real sick, unexpectacledly right 0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:27.480 at birth and didn't make it past thirty days. 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:28.959 I'm so sorry. 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:31.960 Yeah, me too. It's a you know, it's something that 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.680 it happens to other women and other parents, but when 0:20:36.720 --> 0:20:38.480 it happens to your family, you want to do something 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:40.840 about it. And this is a way to help a 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:43.440 lot of people because it's one of the things that 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:49.199 was missing obviously, other than your child getting well, a 0:20:49.280 --> 0:20:52.640 place to go, you know, just somewhere to find some dignity. 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:56.600 That's what family house does. These people come there are 0:20:57.119 --> 0:21:01.040 many times poor, They have six kids, sick kids, they 0:21:01.200 --> 0:21:03.679 lose their jobs, et cetera. And then they come in 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:07.080 and the first room in this building is a room 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:11.520 to collect yourself so that you can find your dignity 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:13.520 to go move on. And that's what I think this 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:15.080 garden will provide for people. 0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:20.560 So Drops of Jupiter is the name of your wine. Yes, 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:25.000 that named after the song that your mother inspired you with. 0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:27.679 But it's hard to find. 0:21:28.440 --> 0:21:33.160 Well, there's a reason for it. Drops of Jupiter was 0:21:33.320 --> 0:21:40.560 created with my partner at Concannon Winery in Livermore, California. 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:45.880 And like the music world, wine has to find its 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.280 place out there in the world. And the way to 0:21:49.320 --> 0:21:53.000 do it is you make a deal with Target. Hey, Target, 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.200 if you sell my record, we'll give you these two 0:21:55.240 --> 0:21:57.920 extra songs. Right, So there's a way to inspire people 0:21:57.960 --> 0:22:01.640 to buy your product. Wine is much more competitive even 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:06.600 and so we made we signed an exclusivity deal with 0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:13.320 Publics in Florida and HB in Texas, and so they 0:22:13.320 --> 0:22:17.760 were exclusive to Drops A Jupiter, Pinot, Sauvignon blanc and 0:22:17.840 --> 0:22:23.560 cab and till just recently. So now the label will 0:22:23.560 --> 0:22:26.200 go into restaurants and all the other grocery stores in 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:28.280 the country. So soon you'll be able to find it, 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:30.080 but until then you can go to drops to Jupiter 0:22:31.320 --> 0:22:32.600 wine dot com. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.480 Very nice, and the proceeds from. 0:22:35.320 --> 0:22:38.399 That go to a familyhouse in San Francisco. 0:22:38.800 --> 0:22:41.520 How does that make you feel? Knowing that something you're 0:22:41.560 --> 0:22:47.919 passionate about, something that you birthed, is such a gift 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:51.439 to families who well. 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.600 To think that it's a win win. You can catch 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.440 a little buzz and help people out. You know, it's 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:02.679 a pretty fun thing, but it's also it's a really 0:23:02.760 --> 0:23:07.960 good product. You know. When we started the wine business 0:23:08.000 --> 0:23:12.720 that we are in, we didn't want to be the cliche, Oh, 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:15.560 here's a little bottle of train wine that you can 0:23:15.600 --> 0:23:18.000 put on your shelf and never drink it because it's 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:21.320 from the concert. This is like a real bottle of wine. 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:26.240 It's a twenty dollars retail and it's quality everything and 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.680 including what it benefits, and so it's all fun. 0:23:31.000 --> 0:23:33.440 I'm not a wine drinker. I think the last time 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.000 I drank wine it was Boons Farm Strawberry Hill mixed 0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:41.320 with seven up and I was wearing you. 0:23:41.280 --> 0:23:48.520 Know what, that's actually the ingredients of plutonium. So you 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:49.360 had it after all? 0:23:49.520 --> 0:23:53.359 Yeah, yeah I did. I just didn't know it. Yeah, 0:23:54.040 --> 0:23:57.720 but I looked for some after I found out about yours, 0:23:57.800 --> 0:24:01.080
