  Speaker 1: You you yeah, they did. Yeah, they did an amazing job. Man.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: You know, it was a little scary initially, man, because

  Speaker 1: you know, the chemistry that we pulled off over thirty
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: three years, man, they only had less than thirty days
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to pull off. Man. So when we look at the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: dancing of lower did and that was probably the most
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: challenging part that they all had to overcome. But we
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: had the bigs, of course, which is you know, six
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: of them cats, and then we had the little Man,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: which is five of them cats. You know, this booty
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: starts from nine eight and it pushes all the way
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: through two thousand and five. And initially the littles was
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: putting the foot in the big behinditely. Listen, they ratcheted
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the pressure rug Man and made it hard on them cats. Man.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But you know they did everything that they were supposed
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to do. They made the phone calls. I mean late
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: night we would be on the phone with these cats
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: just talking to him about what the mindset was at
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: various times throughout our careers. Man, And they all embodied
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to carry the characters of Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky, Mike, Ralph
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and Johnny and Brooke paying Man and the Mamas. When
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: y'all see the Llamas on this joint ain't for night one, man,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I'm to tell you, but man, we are so proud
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of the work man. It couldn't have been done by
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: a better castic characters. Now, the two that played Bobby,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: are they all right? Because I know they didn't went
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: through something Yo, what he mcclaimed, he's been saying it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: for the last I want to stay probably about you
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: know what has it been? Uh? Last May we started
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: filming and it took about thirty five days. I don't
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: think he's let Bobby go since then. It's about of fact,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: man saying so uh yeah, it said a beautiful thing.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I think we all up their game probably about ten
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: knotches from before they took on these roles. Man. But
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you know, and it's funny because they have a little
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: thread or text thread or group me thread, and they
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: said they been talked with each other. That hasn't been
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a change that they haven't said something to each other. Man.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So they started a brotherhood based our new addictions brotherhood, man,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And it's a beautiful thing. That's good. All right, let's
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: talk B B D. Man. The three of you guys,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: y'all continue to make hit after hit. Uh. You have
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a new album, three Strikes, that will be released this Friday,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: January seven. What inspired the new music? Man? UM? A
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: couple of things. You know, we um, we do a
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: lot of shows. We perform all year around, you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: fifty sixty shows a year. UM. You know, being in
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: front of our fans all the time they've been asking
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: for it, and sometimes you know, in our shows feel like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know, we would like to have the music and
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: you know, it just brings a new energy to switch
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: songs up, and that was one of the motivations. We
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: recorded the song run about a year ago with Eric Sermon.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He produced a song. Uh. We put it out over
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the summers Um July, and it took off for us. Man.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: We got a really good response for it, and the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: man got a little bit higher for us to make
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: more music. So I think we just jumped in a studio.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: In a matter of you know, three to four weeks,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: we had a whole album. You know, we call it
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: three Strips as our first album in about fifteen years.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: The way that it came together was really organic, you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: similar to how the Poison album came together. You know,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: we just came into the right song. Their age appropriate,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: their groovy, that everything you love about don't give the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: vote they got you know, they hip hop, beats um
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: with the old sexy melodies, catchy melodies, and you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: we'll we feel like we're at the best as far
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: as our talents and performers right now. So we really
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: feel like songs for song. If you match this up
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: with Poison, man, it's it's uh uh man, you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it's it's it's good man, it's so I would say
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it even better performance wise and even funk the song
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: besides Poison, I think it's stand next to that monster
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: right there, man, but not also, you know, we get
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: out of Adam and and not only that, the first
• 7:56
