Hey, My Mom's Basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or YouTube, and Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music. All right, hello and welcome back to My Mom's Basement, and another interview with the main. I am honored to have you guys in here for a third time. It's actually our second time in person. We did one via Zoom. But you guys, as I tell you, every time are one of my favorite bands in the world. So I don't take it for granted that you guys are coming in giving me the time to talk about these new albums. Dude, thanks for having that. Of course, and I'm excited to talk about Joy Next Door. Absolutely loved the album. But before we get into that, our last interview was promoting the self-titled record. I wanted to just start there and ask what your favorite memories or biggest moments from that era of the band were now that it's kind of put to bed. That was a fun

cycle for sure. When we do our festival in Phoenix, it's always kind of like the big highlight,

and we played the whole record in full. So it was like fun to kind of

you don't really know how it's going to work together

live until you do all of it like that.

So it was like an interesting thing.

And we've only played some of those songs once at that thing.

But that was kind of a big highlight for sure to like play in front of

all the things.

Yeah, we also got to work with colby wedgworth again

so it was great to just kind of jump back into the studio with him it felt it's kind of the same way as

like thinking back it wasn't that long ago that we were recording that record, but it feels like ages ago somehow.

But with Colby, it was the same way.

Like, we hadn't seen him in a while.

And just, like, the personality nuance and, like, the things, like, the things that you remember seeing him do on lovely little lonely

where he'd be like it's so excited yeah like kind of mannerisms arm movements like those are

the things that stand out in my head yeah he do these things that like you know when we have the

part right is when like because he'll kind of just chill there and then all of a sudden he'll just get like really animated and excited and you're like okay that part's gonna work it's like a poker player's tell yeah for sure we're all just literally watching waiting for the town like let's just shake a little like okay we got it yeah and has this tour been going i know you kicked it off at the Salt Shed, awesome iconic venue, obviously.

I had an uncle actually go see you guys in Vegas.

He told me it was one of his favorite shows he's ever been to. Really? Yeah. So that was the first show of the tour. So, that one was like a... It's an honor. We were pretty nervous. Yeah, we were very nervous that one. Wow. We are a band for the uncles.
