Stevie B Bradford a you're coming to you friends a little later in the week. So thanks for your patience. We are it's Thursday the 12th

and we are in Columbus Ohio Columbus we're oh bucks. Go bucks. Yeah. Hey, did you hear me last night? I did a no I heard I didn't even know how I was doing and I did it. I just started and it worked out. Yes, it worked out even though we were

instance in that yes, but I mean isn't it it is yes it is statewide but he would do it here games over well because it's more about the university of course. Right. Okay. Yeah, but it's so

Ohio wins even if they're not fan even if they're not Buckeye fans will they still do it? Yes. Right. And that's just that's just state pride. Yeah, that's yeah. What was really for it. It's more Ohio state fans. Right. So what's it Cincinnati? What is it? What the university

since then the bearcaps did they did they generally have a good football and a good basketball program. Yeah, their programs are great and but so we're in

Cincinnati so I don't know what the bear cat stuff thing is. It's definitely not that. By the way, rare. I think that's going to go anywhere. Amazing. But we had a lovely time in Cincinnati. I mean it's not you know it's funny. We say these cities and then we're we play you know a lot of the clubs that we play are in suburban like shopping center shopping like work live dying work live place.

And it's funny. Every time we drive into one we're like it's so nice here because you have these beautiful like whether they're townhouses or condos or rentals or some single family houses. Then you have like you have a movie theater you have shopping like usually there's a grocery store. There's Jeremy pointed out today. Look at there's the Lululemon store Jeremy. You can get your athletic wear. And there's good restaurants and then some you know in some of them have comedy clubs. So you really.

You know you're a little community if you will have this all really all you need. Yeah and you know a lot of these clubs are in these types of places now which makes it great for us. Yeah. There's stuff to do. Right. And there's all usually hotels and within the multiplex to. Yeah. And then we I think we talked about it on more awesome possibly was the our first show in Vitavia. Oh yeah. I don't think we didn't discuss it on a podcast yet because we just obviously did it this week. That's right.

We started out in Vitavia which is normally we do zanes in Chicago which is right near Oh here. Right. Rosemont. And we decided to switch things up switch things up a little bit.

And this was a really cool town. It was just. Well and so in the past when we've said Chicago and people are like actually it's Rosemont. I'm like okay well. Oh here's there. New college Chicago. So I kind of assumed Vitavia was similar. Yeah. No. Right. So people would be like Vitavia.

That's not Chicago and I'm like it's all Chicago land but they were actually right. It's it's it's pretty far away from Chicago. It's actually closer to like Aurora.

It's like between Aurora and Geneva. Yeah. Along the river which is very charming. Yeah. It's a nice small nice small town but but Liz who owns a place that runs a place she bought up Liz. She bought a bank and old an old bank. Do you think she thought there was money still in it. I don't know but I know there's jackhammering and digging stuff up.

You know something's in there. Yeah. Yeah. So it was cool. It was a cool room for us. We like playing new rooms checking it out. Green room is great. There it was Steve's that that is that is really your one thing. Like when we talk about one doesn't go on thing but when we talk about clubs you're like I'm wondering if it has a good green room. Like you just love you appreciate a good green room which I wish I respect. Of course I do. Yeah. So there's nothing more agreed to do Vitavia. You asked me to. Yeah. I said semi pictures of the green.

Yeah. So amazing. We have a good green room here too. That's true. We do. No. No. The funny bones. This is a club we're playing tonight. We play it in Cincinnati and there's one Albany. Was that a funny bone? I think it was. Was St. Louis. Might be. Yeah. I think so. I think we're asking them. Don't ask us. Don't ask us. But they're they're they tend to be big and modern. You know some of the clubs that we play are you know institutions that have been around for you know years and years and years.

So like some of the zany's were kind of like institutions right like the one in Nashville for sure the one in Chicago for sure. So anyway anyway but yes so we had a great we had a great time there and you know and not not knowing how far out of Chicago it was that it was a very full room and so we certainly appreciate everybody that came out and you know it's funny we we.

In old in old in old in times no but in years past we would say by the end of the week hey we're really buzzing like we really got this going we got this going and it's interesting now the show that we've been doing the 90 minutes that we've been doing now we've been doing it for about a year and a half because we started.

Well I guess we started this at the beginning of 2020 before we had to put it down for a bit and then things evolved a little bit from there but so now we're like we feel really good at this for at this show so we're almost so good at this show the freedom that we have after putting it down for like a month the first show tends to be like a little more not I don't say more playful but has some you know we're it's that time where new things happen because we're remembering.

And we're not in a routine with it yet for that week yeah for sure you know you you made you made the good point I think we talked about it I don't know where but that we usually because we have been doing this for so long now usually it's we're working out material and then by the seventh day you're like hey I finally this is finally working but you know but for us now it's like the excitement to get it back on the road and then you know.
