Hey, this is the moment. I'm Brian Coppelman. Thanks for listening. The great Bob Mold is here.

And Bob I liked it when we first said how you pronounced your name even though you should know that as a 54 year old man who grew up listening to

I had you I knew it was mold I didn't think it was mold it's you were mold. It's either way, depending on what side of the pond we're on.

Yes, but you were going to be safe with me, I promise on that.

And Bob Molde, who is a genius, certified genius, and from Hooskerdu to Sugar to the albums he made under his own name,

the work has been constantly, it's funny Bob, I heard you describe recently as one long song and I understand what you mean by that, but I would just say

It has been an artist's life that we've been able to dip into as as fans and

listeners and and the work rewards close attention and so thanks for doing this on the eve of the release of your newest album Blue Hearts.

And I guess I wanted to start here, man, which is the new album ain't no sunshine rock so I read

some interviews you did around sunshine rock and an album I loved and I've tried

I actually tempt a bunch of billions episodes

against songs on that I haven't been able to nail a song that like really landed in a

scene yet but I've really tried on your last few

albums especially such on rock so I know that album super well and I read these

interviews where you talked about why you decided yes despite the times I'm

doing this but dude what the fuck man? What happened?

What happened?

It happened two more years, you know? We ask ourselves, can you, do you want four more years of this?

After two years, I was ready to tap out and then two more years.

I was like, okay, maybe I should speak up just in case nobody is certain as to which

stand, which side of the fence I'm standing on. Yeah I mean you know back in you know back in you know back in 2018 when I was

recording Sunshine Rock and getting ready for the 2019 release.
