17
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 3: And I thought he I thought, Adam Lambert, I'm talking

18
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 3: about you, like you're not here.

19
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: Los that.

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 4: So I asked him, like, did you reheard that? He goes, no,

00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: I just did it.

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 2: Look at that. I mean, there were preapproved songs. But

24
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 2: you know, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine.

25
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 2: Ye don't burst the ball illusion of the game, and

26
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:10,479
Speaker 2: we have lots to cover, lots to cover. I want

27
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: to talk about the new album, Highdrama. I'm gonna talk.

28
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: I told them the story about Sylvester Me. Seeing Sylvester

29
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: doing you make me feel many real When I was

30
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: jealous a little kid. You weren't even born. I don't

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: think what year eighty something, the young early eight eighties.

32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: I was born in the early eighties. Okay, I'm older

33
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: than you might think. Well, pounds and pounds of spackle

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: on right now?

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 2: Good? Yeah, also lies for me. And so Adam was

36
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: just telling us he's about to go out with Queen again,

37
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: just for the tenth year. Yeah, it's been Do you

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: remember when that first happened that you guys met during Idol,

39
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: They helped you perform, You performed with them, and then

40
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: someone called, someone said, why don't we just go in

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: on the road, And that's how that happened. I feel

42
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: like I'm so late to the party on this. No,

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's basically it. I mean we met on

44
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: that finale because thankfully I say Bohemian Rhapsody for my audition.

45
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 2: I think that might have helped.

46
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: I think I got on their radar that way and yeah,

47
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: I mean they got invited and they said yes, we'll come.

48
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: And that was surreal, you know, to sing with them

49
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: on stage, and I remember thinking this is so bizarre,

50
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: but just be in the moment.

51
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: We did it, and there was like definitely like a

52
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: resonant like the thing. There was this like understanding, there

53
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: was this eye contact of like this feels good. So yeah,

54
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: after I did my first tour of my own and

55
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: my first album came out and was done, then it

56
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: was time to do something with them. And I thought

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: it was gonna be like a one off. I thought

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: it was gonna be done after one, but then it

59
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: just kept snowballing into the next thing, and I was like, hell, yeah,

60
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 2: let's do it. Hey, you guys ever thought about well, Okay,

61
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: it's it's run, it's run, it's still great.

62
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: Why don't we go out on top? Well, we just

63
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: keep topping ourselves. That's the thing now, I mean self service.

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: It's honestly like, we sold out this tour in a day,

65
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: literally a day, So I mean that's the best.

66
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: We've ever done.

67
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: So I don't I think, you know, if we can

68
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: sell it out a minute, maybe we'll be done.

69
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, how can you unplug that? No

70
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 2: you can't, Okay, And Brian and Roger are like so lovely.

71
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: They light up.

72
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: When the lights come up and we're in front of

73
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: these audiences. They this is like their legacy, you know

74
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: what I mean, And they're just basking in that glory

75
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: of it and as they should be. And so to

76
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: be on stage and be like next to that is

77
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: the greatest feeling, to like to be of service to

78
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: this moment so that people in the audience can relive

79
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: their their youth or introduce these songs to their kids.

80
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: It's like, it's magical, It's really cool.

81
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: What did your family think, because I know when my

82
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 3: mom goes, oh my gosh, I remember Queen when I

83
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: was a kid, and blah blah, I could just think,

84
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: like your family, your parents, your grandparents, grew up around them,

85
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: and when you start performing with them, they must have

86
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 3: been like, what the hell.

87
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: Well, it's like I had to I was like really

88
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: proud of myself for releasing my own album and being

89
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 1: on American Idol. But it was once my dad could

90
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: brag to the guys at work about Queen, something that

91
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: they all understood and could like measure. He was like, oh,

92
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: this is cool, this is this is this is this

93
00:03:59,360 --> 00:03:59,920

Speaker 1: You know, it was so great about it is that

107

Speaker 1: it's kind of been this side by side thing for

108
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: the past decade. It's like I don't feel like one

109

Speaker 1: has taken like.

110
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 2: Priority over the other.

111
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,920

112
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: own career to go do a six week tour with Queen,

113

116
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,000

117
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: weeks versus eighteen months.

118
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,039

Speaker 2: Oh my god, it' dad and whatever.

Speaker 1: I mean, it's miserable out there. It's raining. So no,

159
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: I was good, you know New York City. Yeah, nothing

160
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: surprised as anyone in New York City like windy.

161
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: It's rainy. People are like, I'm just trying to stay dry.

162
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: So yeah. So back to the single that we played,

163
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: You Make Me Feel Mighty Real, which is out now,

164
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: and by the way, with the album, uh this is

165
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 2: the official song of London Pride. So July first, you

166
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 2: are headlining in London. Yeah, that's you know what being

167
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 2: a kid on idol getting out there doing your thing

168
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: and totally totally mesmerizing us all to this. Now you

169
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: are the leader on stage of the music section anyway

170
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 2: of Pride in London. This is I mean, do you

171
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 2: ever stop and like, Okay, what the f is going

172
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: on here? This is yay, amazing. Yes. I have to

173
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: pinch myself all the time.

174
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: And the surrealism of it all is kind of part

175
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: of the joy of it. I mean, it's like these

176
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: opportunities that come up are the things that come like.

177
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: This is so cool.

178
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll be able to remember this for the rest of

179
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: my life. If someone had told me I'd be doing this,

180
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen years ago, I would have laughed at

181
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: their face. You know, it's crazy. I feel very lucky though.

182
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: I feel like every opportunity that comes up is like

183
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: an It's just like a moment to live and to celebrate.

184
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's great.

185
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: I do want to aid you because it's too early,

186
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: but let's look at the aged Adam Lambert let's say

187
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: twenty thirty, forty fifty years from now. You you were

188
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: setting yourself up to be on the wall of gay icons,

189
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: and I know you want to be more than that.

190
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 2: I'll take it. Sounds great, barbarus tri saying Share, Miss Piggy,

191
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 2: Miss Lady Betty, Betty Davis. These are Joan Rivers. Was

192
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: she a gay icon? She sounds good? I mean, is

193
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: that a wall that you would you laugh if you

194
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 2: saw your face on that wall?

195
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: No, I would be honored. I think that's lovely. Those

196
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: are diva icons that you just mentioned.

197
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: Share. Yes, Hey, have you and Share become closer ever

198
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: since you sang for her at the honors in d C.

199
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna admit I haven't actually met her yet.

200
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it was it was we were going

201
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: to meet after that performance, but she had to jet

202
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: to New York.

203
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:42,719
Speaker 2: It was in d C.

204
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: She had to get on a plane like right away

205
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 1: here because her musical was opening the next day. So

206
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: it was like, ah, but she sent me a nice note,

207
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: a really really nice note.

208
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: She's shared. Yeah, Yeah, she's a legend. She's dating that

209
00:08:54,600 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 2: hot guy she was I think one in five minutes.

210
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: She has no problem so let's get to the to

211
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: the album. Now. The album not only does it have

212
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: you make Me feel mighty reeal on there, but there

213
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: are others like like uh uh oh, I Can't Stand

214
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: the Rain. Yes, that was originally done by a group

215
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 2: called Popcorn I believe was it really it was Peoples Okay,

216
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: nowhere near the right.

217
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: One, Popcorn Peebles. I think it sounds right unless hers

218
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: was a cover. Was it a cover?

219
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

220
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 4: But then this is a Missy Elliott original. This is

221
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 4: blowing my mind.

222
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: No, that's the first time I heard it too. Yeah,

223
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: but then Tina Turner did it in the late eighties, right,

224
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: and then yeah, Missy sampled it.

225
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 2: So yeah, So what other great covers around here? And

226
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: why why did you choose these specific covers? Yeah, it's

227
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: kind of an eclectic list.

228
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: I was just kind of like, these songs are cool,

229
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: these are by artists that I really like because they're different.

230
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: Part of the criteria was also, is it a song

231
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: that A I can relate to like for my own

232
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: life since I'm not writing them, And b is it

233
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: something that I think I can take and totally twist

234
00:09:59,000 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: and make new.

235
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 2: So that was like that was.

236
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: My goal was to reinvent them as much as possible

237
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: and surprise the listener with my creation.

238
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 2: I can't imagine, you know, growing up with these songs

239
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: as you did. I'm sure most of them, some of

240
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 2: them anyway, and then now they're on your album. Yeah,

241
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: it's just so cool. It's like, think about your life.

242
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: If you're not a performer, what did you grow up

243
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: with loving that you would love to incorporate it into

244
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 2: your current life. Me, I was a child of legos.

245
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: I would now build a home made of legos exactly,

246
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have a chandelier of the dining room table.

247
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 2: It'd be like a light bright Oh my god, light bright.

248
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: I remember light bright. I got one of those little

249
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: stupid light light bulbs stuck in my foot once, the

250
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: little yeah, yeah, they had to take that out.

251
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 1: It was I mean, they're sharp enough to puncture paper, right,

252
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 1: isn't that wasn't it paper that you put on top

253
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: that you figured that was the stencil?

254
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: Right? The light bright you could do. There's like a

255
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: black piece of paper, you remember that, right? Yeah? I

256
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 2: think so there's a.

257
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: There's an Instagram account like that's like I forget the

258
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 1: name of it, but it's like eighties toys. It's so funny,

259
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, oh my god, I remember that.

260
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: God do you remember the eighties? Do you? Is there?

261
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 2: Who are you following on social that you're just kind

262
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: of addicted to? Is there is there any genre other

263
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 2: than like there's there?

264
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: On TikTok there's a girl named Maya. I think she's

265
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: British and she's just so funny. She sits there and

266
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: does reaction videos to things and she's.

267
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: Like, why are you doing that? What's she doing? Video? Yeah,

268
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 2: she's just like she's just really funny. Have you ever

269
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 2: seen a meme done of you or something you've done

270
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: and you're like, and so, well, the muffin Man is

271
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 2: popping off right now. It is mimable everyone's but people

272
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: are like lip syncing to it themselves, which is so

273
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 2: much fun to see what people come up with. So

274
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 2: when we sit down with Highdrama and just track the

275
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: whole thing, what feeling? What feeling are you? Are you

276
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 2: thinking we're going to experience? What do you think we're

277
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: going to get out of this album? Well, I mean

278
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: you want us to get out of it?

279
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I call it high drama because it's big.

280
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's like a lot of large moments there.

281
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: They're over the top. I mean, I'm kind of not

282
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: known for being completely subtle.

283
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: I don't think not at all. I can get there,

284
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 2: but I don't know if that's my calling cards.

285
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: So you know, I wanted to put stuff on there

286
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: that that, you know, gave the listener what they want,

287
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: because I think that is sort of the important thing

288
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: about being an entertainer is reading the crowd, reading your

289
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 1: fan base, being like, what do you guys like? So

290
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: I gave them like big, wild moments, and then there's

291
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: a couple of emotional, sort of subdued moments towards the

292
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: end of the album as well. Okay, it's a lot

293
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: of I don't know. I think genre wise, it's kind

294
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: of a bunch of different things thrown into a pot.

295
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: It's like a little rock, it's a little pop, it's

296
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: a little funk. I mean, it's all sort of in there.

297
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: It's all the things I love.

298
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: When you talk about reading the crowd, I'm sure you've

299
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: seen recently people tossing things on stage at.

300
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 2: The artists and the performers or BB.

301
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, Eva, Max just got slap in the face she did. Yeah, ago, Yeah,

302
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: what I ran up on stage and smackers? When you

303
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 4: see these revamping your security or are you thinking about

304
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 4: these things happening?

305
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 2: No, but I'm ready to fight back. I have you

306
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 2: heard about someone they throw drinks at you know, you

307
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 2: had a drink, or someone put a drink on stage,

308
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: you kicked it back at him or something like.

309
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: I usually kicked things off the stage. Were you just

310
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,720
