I like controlling things and planning 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:40.520 and having a million things to juggle. That's the next level. 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:41.840 That is the level. 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:45.080 She was with us twenty four hours a day for 0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:49.479 almost seven weeks on the second tour. Forced tour was shorter, 0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:53.360 but when you're a tour manager, you don't leave. You're 0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:56.240 not off the clock.

There's nobody else. 0:02:56.720 --> 0:03:01.280 Shoulders off people. Yeah, I am. You know, It's funny 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.520 because it hasn't been until recently that I've started to 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:07.520 really sort of really pay attention to my career, to 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.240 sort of really appreciate it and understand it more instead 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:13.679 of being in a tunnel, you know, which we do 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.600 so long on the road. But you know, I've been 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:19.600 very lucky and very blessed. And it's a couple of 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.720 years ago I did a really really hard tour and 0:03:22.800 --> 0:03:25.679 after that I was like, I'm good, Like I'm good 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.639 at Yeah, you know, I can do No one else 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:30.480 could have ran that tour. I'm I'm the one the 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.480 only one who could have done it. And so it 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:34.720 really sort of just reinforced that I'm in the right 0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:37.120 field for what I was supposed to do. And you know, 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.960 the career path I chose was the perfect one for me. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.760 I don't think I even knew what a tour manager 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.200 did before the Glee tour like I don't. I never 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:53.480 I didn't. I don't think I understood tours. Yeah, and 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:57.480 obviously I want to get into like our tour obviously, 0:03:58.440 --> 0:04:01.160 but I would just love to hear from you, like 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.760 the highlights of which, like what does a tour manager do? 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:08.280 What does your day to day look like? Is it 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.520 different for each I'm sure it's different for each band 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.520 or artist, Like, can you just give us kind of 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:17.680 an overview of like what your job description is? 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.840 Yeah, mainly a lot of times you're hired just for 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.360 a tour. So jay Z I was hired for tours. 0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:28.440 I wasn't really hired with an in you know, an 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:30.960 indefinite sort of time period. Or I was hired for 0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.200 BP three and then I was hired for Watch the Throne. 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.720 So you're hired, you put the tour together, meaning you 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:40.159 do budgets for hotels, logistics such as moving the artists, 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.080 the crew. You deal with the venues daily. You deal 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:47.839 with the hotels daily, You do with drivers with private planes, 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:52.560 commercial jets, you know, commercial flights. You deal with venue people, 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:54.919 you deal with management, you deal with the artists, you 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:58.039 deal with the artist teams, you deal with wardrobe, you 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.880 deal with everybody, and that's mainly overseeing that everybody's doing 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.120 their job, because one person not doing their job means 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:10.320 ten people get behind. You oversee the morale of the tour. 0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.120 You oversee making sure people are a good reflection of 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.600 who the artist is, which I'm really big on these 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:23.159 days is making sure everybody is being respectful because everybody 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.880 that you encounter is working hard to make that one 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:26.680 show work. 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:27.599 Local. 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.080 You make sure your artist has everything that they need, 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.120 and that could change, you know, with you guys, it 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:37.960 was more than one person. It's one, you know, with 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:41.800 Post it was one. With Keith, it's one. But sometimes 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:44.600 Dragons it was a full band, you know, so everything 0:05:45.240 --> 0:05:49.400 is every shifts and then you sort of are filling 0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:53.919 in holes where stuff isn't happening. And I'm being general 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.520 because management teams are very different with every other artist. 0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.200 So you feel in like, well, who's doing ticketing? I 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:02.320 don't know, Okay, I guess I'm doing it. So you 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:04.800 kind of just pick up all those pieces. 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:10.320 Wow. Do you hire on people on your team or people? 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.760 Do they have people in place? Does that also differ 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:13.680 based on the artist? 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.920 Things different? Yeah. I don't usually have an assistant I 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:20.040 do when the tours are bigger, or I'll hire somebody 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:21.960 if I'm dealing with an artist and they decide they're 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.680 going to bring out a band, so then I'll hire 0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.520 somebody to oversee the band, or and do ticketing, kind 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.640 of put some of the work on them. Or I'm 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:32.520 kind of a control freak in the sense that I 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.479 like to know everything that's going on, so I like 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.359 to be responsible for it because I'm the one to 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:40.479 answer for it to management. So it's just I don't 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:44.760 mind that being overworked. It's because then I know all 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:45.360 the answers. 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:49.920 So right, so you're in the loop, You're you're kept 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:51.240 in the know for everything. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.880 Yeah, why did this happen? 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.760 I'll right, yeah, right, how did you get into this 0:06:58.720 --> 0:06:59.440 from the start? 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:04.039 So I long story short, I was working locally in 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.240 Charlotte as a booking agent. So I used to book 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:10.000 bands on side stages at the Amphitheater, so you guys 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:13.440 have the outdoor sheds. And one day somebody says, do 0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.240 you want to come work backstage? I need some help, 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.240 and I was like, sure, I'll come do it. Well, 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.400 it was called the Further Festival, so it was ziggy 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.440 Marley Bob Weir. It was kind of hippie band. 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:23.000 Oh yeah. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.760 I was backstage watching all these artists walk by, and 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.760 I was like, this is really cool. So I shut 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.400 my agency down and became a runner, which is the 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:35.320 peoe of a venue, you know, twenty hour days. I 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.600 made one hundred and twenty five bucks a day before taxes, 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:40.640 So I was broke all the time, but I have job. 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.600 And then a few years later somebody said do you 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:45.280 want to go out on tour? And I went, sure, 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.560 what tour? And they're like in sync and I was like, 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:52.520 oh my god, it no strings attached. Oh my god, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.600 I want to get stadium tour ever. 0:07:54.880 --> 0:08:01.000 Oh my god. That was my third concert ever really 0:08:01.720 --> 0:08:04.120 been That concert changed my life, yes. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:08.000 Yeah, changed my career, changed my path wow. Yeah. And 0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.560 it was probably the most fun because it was a 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.960 first one and the boys are so much fun. And 0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.040 I'm still close with a lot of that team as 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.200 well as Chris, Joey and Lance, so I still see 0:08:18.240 --> 0:08:20.840 them a lot. Yeah. Wow, a lot of fun. 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.640 And were you on tour? Like have you been on 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.400 tour most of your life? Now? 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.400 Well, I'm going to be fifty four tomorrow, so no, 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:33.400 I've only worked I feel like it. I started when 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:34.839 I was thirty, that was my first. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.120 Tour, wow. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.280 But I've been in the business since I was twenty, 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:42.520 So I've always around bands with bands for bands, you know, 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.280 firing because back in the day, we didn't have social media, 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.720 so you actually sent postcards out and walked around clubs 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:52.240 and put flyers on, you know, the windshields of cars. 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.160 So I did that because I grew up in Jersey, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.480 So I was in Naspberry Park a lot, hanging out 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.480 with flyers and then I'd get like a free guestless 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.160 spot watch the show Crazy Wow. 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.800 So from no shings attached, then it's just like you 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:09.480 if anyone who knows you obviously why you've had such 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:13.000 like an incredible career, you're like the nicest, most competent 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.160 and like even keeled person, which I feel like you 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:20.600 have to, like you have to be that way otherwise 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.720 who knows. But I imagine you do no shings attached 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.720 and you meet a bunch of people who probably do 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:31.719 tours regularly and like, oh, Angie's great, we need to 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:33.320 hire her for this next thing we're doing. 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.960 Yep, that's how it works. So I had met so 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.400 many people as a runner because you're the local, so 0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:43.040 all these tours are coming through. Once I toured, then 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.160 I got a call for Dave Matthews to go out 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.760 doing max coordinator a job for that, and then from 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:51.320 there I got asked to Britney and then Britney Spears 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:53.760 to Madonna because I happened to be at a table 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.240 when somebody got a phone call that they were looking 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:59.839 for somebody. But this was all the great production coordinator work, 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.840 so you know, just you know, kind of moving up 0:10:02.840 --> 0:10:06.200 the chain basically, so then you know, that's how it went. 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.880 I just went from tour to tour to tour. 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.720 And with each tour sort of gaining new responsibilities, working 0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:13.320 your way up. 0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:18.240 Abilities new team, being around new people, learning as much 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:18.800 as I could. 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:19.240 I was. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.840 I was so active. I was on my feet all 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.160 the time, which I loved, you know, getting to know 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:29.319 the locals, especially in the local promoters. So I mean, 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.360 I'm older now, I forget a lot, but I knew everybody. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.679 So it was good for me to kind of go, yeah, 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:36.960 I'm looking for work in six months, and so I 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.120 did job after job after job. 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:44.440 And what was your first tour manager position? Which tour 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.400 dancing with the stars. WHOA, that's a lot of people. 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:49.520 That's a lot of people. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.800 Did you have it by that point? Did you have 0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:54.040 it like in your back pocket at that point as 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.600 tour manager or was that like chaotic for you to 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:57.720 be the tour manager? 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.280 It was it was chaotic. They it was this second 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.520 tour and they weren't going to hire the person back. 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:07.080 So I Harry Sandler at the time, who worked for 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.160 azof Head, said I was like, I should do it. 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:11.839 You should let me do it. He goes, I think 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:14.080 you're too nice, And I said, I think that's what 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.560 this tour needs. Okay, I'll give you a shot. And 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.440 then at the end he said, Yep, that's exactly what 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:25.160 it needed. Because like for Glee, you have ballroom dancers 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.400 are your stars, plus you have five celebrities at the 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.920 time and you're teaching like we had Joey and Lance 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.920 ferm and sinc we had Drew Lache, Marley Mattlin, but 0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:35.719 we had, you know, an Olympic runner. We had all 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:38.000 of these people who had never toured and at the 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.160 same time with Glee, I'm going I'm going to teach 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.160 you what it's like to do a rock tour, this 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.640 is how, this is what you need to do. But 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.800 I was good at talking to all of the different 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.000 artists and celebrities in different ways to make them all 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:53.520 understand in the way that they needed to hear it. 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:58.080 And I think it became my strong point and people 0:11:58.200 --> 0:11:59.839 just grew to like me. But then when I needed 0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.680 to part, not harsh, but I had to be stern, 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.880 they listened, came in and you were rude the whole time. 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:08.720 They're just gonna like brush you off. But I feel 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.600 like I got the balance, and that's the Jersey side 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.440 of me and the Southern side working in harmony. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:19.080 Yeah. You know, in hindsight of looking back at the 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.040 Glee tour, I don't think and like Jenna said, we 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.400 didn't necessarily even realize what and I had done smaller 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.160 tours before Preglee, but nothing of the scale that we did. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.600 But I think a testament to your ability is you 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:39.000 don't even necessarily know everything you're doing because there is 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.480 never any drama. It's always easy. You always seem calm 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.200 and everything just runs smoothly. And if there is, if 0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:48.000 we have questions, we have concerns, we can get into it. 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:52.679 The days that we were not all, well, you step up, 0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:54.520 you show up, and you're like, how can we fix this? 0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:58.160 And I think in hindsight, if someone was not of 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.640 the ability in caliber that you are, that we would 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:06.120 have felt that yeah, in every capacity, because you've just 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.600 explained there's nothing you don't necessarily have your fingers in 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:13.520 because you've got to make sure everybody's working harmoniously hear everything. 0:13:13.640 --> 0:13:16.080 It's kind of like, well, that's the maternal side. I 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.679 think that's why I believe that females make great tour managers. 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.200 There's this maternal side that keeps your ear to the 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.200 ground so you hear everything, even though it's not said 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.800 to you. You hear everything, you know, So I knew 0:13:30.840 --> 0:13:33.320 I had my finger on the pulse with everybody's bitches 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:37.160 and complaints or we're not feeling well, like I knew. 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.080 It's not that I had people telling me. I just knew, 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.120 and that was that maternal side being fulfilled for me. 0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:47.480 But also, like, what made it good for me to 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.240 be in that role with you guys or with Dancing 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.800 with the Stars is because I kind of just read 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:55.840 energy a lot better than people and kind of was 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:59.920 around and you guys trusted me and that's that was huge. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.560 And that's really big. Yeah, and you have to do 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:07.160 that really quickly. You have to like gain trust really quickly. Yeah, 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:08.920 And I'm not something that I'm not sure that's something 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.000 you can teach a tour manager or anybody in a 0:14:11.040 --> 0:14:17.040 leadership role. That's something that's kind of either Nate Nate. 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:19.880 That's what the road is like. You either have it 0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:21.640 either a lot better you don't. If you don't love it, 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.480 then don't be on the road because you're going to 0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:24.040 make somebody. 0:14:24.400 --> 0:14:26.240 Oh yeah, I mean you have to love it. The 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.760 amount of yeah hours, I mean it's never ending. You're 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:32.760 on call, You'll be you could be on tour for 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:35.160 a full year and you're always on call. Like I 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.200 don't know how I've I've had friends who have hit 0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.200 you up in other countries for tickets and things and 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.720 like how is she still on tour? How is she? 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:45.200 But you have to love to love it. 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:48.320 Yeah, And it's a twenty four to seven kig. It's 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.840 not a day off, it's a non show day and 0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.720 that's just the role you sign up for. So I 0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.760 mean to do lighting and only work on show days 0:14:56.800 --> 0:14:58.760 and have like a real day off, But I would, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.880 I would, I would be so yeah. With the trust side, 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.880 it also meant that when you guys came into my office, 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.240 I stop what I'm doing. There's a reason you're there. 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:12.200 You know that you need something or you want to 0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:13.000 talk or something. 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:17.320 A couple of those times I do remember, like walking 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:20.120 into your office just to like hang, and then that's 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.760 when I would realize how busy you actually were, because 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:25.920 I could see it on your face. I'm like, oh, 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.240 she's really Oh I should go. Oh, she's doing a 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:28.600 good job. 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:33.840 But everyone loves to hang. She has the Glee sign. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:37.000 It's called the Principal's office, which was your office because 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.280 you were the principal on our tour. 0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:43.080 Called the Shots Like we just wanted to be around 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.600 you like that you saved it, like you were running. 0:15:45.680 --> 0:15:48.640 You're basically like president. It's like, yeah, it's like a 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:52.800 micro presidency because you were in control of everything, and 0:15:52.840 --> 0:15:54.560 we would just like want to come kick it, like, oh, 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:57.320 never mind, she's running this whole ship. We have to Yeah. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:15:59.920 I was there as a representative for a's off manner, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.080 like Jared Paul who was working rays Off at the time, 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:06.480 so if he wasn't around, everything was going through me. 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.680 Plus a look at the Paramount people were around as well, 0:16:09.960 --> 0:16:12.480 and the show, you know, producers, Ryan would come out 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.320 and Dante and everyone, so all of that stuff also 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.560 came through me too, So it was it was a contor, 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.440 you know. Yeah, I remember minded to your travel with men, 0:16:22.560 --> 0:16:24.680 Like with Paramount, I had to use the Paramount agent 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:27.520 and it was like, not like, hey, can you book 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:31.240 Kevin on this flight? It was okay, here's the email. Okay, 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.680 here's the approval, Okay, here's this. It was like five 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:35.760 or six different chiets of paper that had to get 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.960 signed for like one flight. I would be like, oh gosh, wow, 0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:40.120 but we did it. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:51.120 We did it. I want to know how Glee came 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.240 to you, and I want to know about how Glee 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.320 differed from other tours you had been on previously, or 0:16:59.320 --> 0:17:02.280 how it sounds like Dancing with the Stars set you 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.560 up for us. But I'm just curious to hear your 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:05.879 experience Dancing with. 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:09.040 The Stars did because Jared was involved, because that all 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:11.679 also went through A's off at the time, and so 0:17:11.800 --> 0:17:14.119 Jared knew me from that and said, would you have 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:18.119 any interest in doing this Glee tour? And I'm like, Okay, 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:21.760 what's Glee? And it was, you know, so new and 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.159 you're on the road. You don't watch television often. I 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.280 was more of a reader, and then I start watching. 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:28.760 I was like, oh, this is going to be fun 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.280 because it was so popular, and you know, I thought 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:33.960 it was great because I love the singing and the 0:17:34.400 --> 0:17:37.480 dancing part of it all. And I was like, great, 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.720 that'll be fun, and it was like it was kind 0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:43.920 of it's always hard when you're dealing with the network 0:17:43.960 --> 0:17:47.520 as well, because everyone has this different idea of how 0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:49.520 stuff is structured. But once you get it into a 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:52.000 venue and then you're basically like, this can't work, this 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.800 can't work, this can't work, and then they really listen. 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.160 Then you're like, great, let's put this on the road. 0:17:57.400 --> 0:18:00.000 And I thought it was a blast because you guys 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:05.160 were so fresh for that first tour that everyone statement 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:07.919 was there, you know, and it just it was a 0:18:07.960 --> 0:18:11.240 theater size so it was manageable. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.280 Yes, that's so much fun. 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.000 I mean I remember coming out in Chicago to remember 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.600 the fans that lined the party and everything. I used 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.640 to go around and sign and take photos. I remember 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:27.560 Corey specifically doing it, and then all all the time 0:18:27.680 --> 0:18:30.840 I just thought that was fantastic. You know, no one 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:32.800 had cell phones. I mean, if they did, they didn't 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:33.680 have cameras on them. 0:18:33.840 --> 0:18:34.199 Yeah. 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:38.359 No, it was such an engaging process. The way to 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.479 connect with the fans. I thought that was. You know, 0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.360 I got emotional when you guys would perform, and that's 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.680 when I knew, like I loved it because you guys 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.760 started and your excitement is part of the excitement you 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.119 guys have, and I just you know, never needed to 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:54.840 be on stage. I just had to be part of it. 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:55.800 M hm. 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:57.160 So interesting. 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:00.720 We talked about like Corey always, especially that first tour 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:05.000 in that hotel in Phoenix, once fans found out where 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:09.000 we were staying, he would be in that lobby for hours, 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.119 just signing things, and it would be either Angie usually 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.119 Angie or Telly or Megan who would have to like 0:19:16.240 --> 0:19:19.720 go get him because he would never leave unless he 0:19:19.800 --> 0:19:21.479 was forced to, Like, no, we actually have to like 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.800 go do a show, or we have to go to rehearsal, 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.240 Like there's the work to do, and you would have to, 0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:29.119 like you would be the best person to just go 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.080 do it. You're like, I got it. So you guys 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:32.760 go get in the van. I'll go get him. 0:19:32.920 --> 0:19:36.119 And that's how Cory and I started a tradition of 0:19:36.160 --> 0:19:40.760 going and getting coffee before lobby call to kind of 0:19:40.800 --> 0:19:43.480 get him out of that lobby. And it also created 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:48.480 and then a great relationship, you know. He he by 0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.800 the end of the tours was like my little brother, 0:19:51.200 --> 0:19:54.000 you know, and we continued that coffee tradition after a 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:55.600 tour too, and we meet. 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:56.440 Him so sweet. 0:19:56.880 --> 0:19:59.280 Yeah, yeah, so nice. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.960 It's interesting hearing you say that you would like watch 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:09.560 the shows and get emotional, you know, watching it when 0:20:09.600 --> 0:20:14.680 you're doing other tours. How important is it to you 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:18.080 if at all that you do enjoy that side of it, 0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:19.879 Like do you care if you enjoyed the music or 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:22.360
