Well, listen to TVTL, I go crazy, I just found TVTL!

Welcome to hour three of TVTL.

It's a show that's probably too beautiful to live.

This is episode 219 in a collector series.

219, our website is mineorthwest.com

and well, the moment you've all been waiting for without further ado.

I would like to welcome to the show Craig Finn and Ted Kubler from the Hold Steady.

Hello.

Thanks for having us.

Thank you very much for coming on TVTL.

You guys are playing at the show box soda tonight and tomorrow.

Correct.

And you're out on a tour right now, your latest record is called Stay Positive.

How is the tour going would have been the highlights and the lowlights?

I think, well, it's been a great tour.

We're out with the drive-by truckers,

which is the tour we've wanted to do for a long time.

We've kind of gotten to the level where we can co-headline with them,

so we're flip-flopping each night.

And it's been a lot of fun.

It's been really musical tour.

We've been playing some music each night with each other's bands.
