It gets kind of that's back here, you know, like there's always like PR guys and A&R guys and everybody's trying to kind of like they're trying to bump me out of my record deal. It means I, I, I mean, I'm signed to one label and they're trying to talk me into signing to another label. So they're like kind of on the slide. They're trying to offer me all this fucking shit like that. It's crazy. Hey, hey, how are you 2 Good, good. You still tag teaming? No, I mean from a business point of view. Oh, stop. No, no, you you outdone me this time. No, no, no. I'm. I'm glad you like this, but I think you got me beat. Oh, come on. You both look devastating. Maybe it's sweet talk, maybe it's not, you know, but. OK, stop. Well, then go talk to him. You've been waiting to talk to him for a month. He's right there. Go. All right. OK. I'll catch up with you later. Sorry. I meant to introduce you. It's just, you know, people are they come at you so fast, and, you know, it's like this and that and the other thing. I'm sorry. Hey, come here. Come here. Look, I'm sorry, so nuts back here. But it usually is, you know, this is the part nobody gets to see. I mean, everybody comes to the show and they check out the show and they go, wow, that was great. And they leave. And this is the insanity that happens back here. And sorry, you get to deal with it. That's exactly what I wanted to hear. I'm glad you don't mind, and I'm glad you're here. And I'm sorry if people are just kind of coming at me. Well, thank you. Thank you for understanding. Fending Off a Flirtatious Business Offer from Sylvia OK, so we're here. We have food. We have craziness. The bar is right there. Would you like a beverage? All right, then why don't we Mosey on over to James? James. James, tell me you made me funny tonight. That's exactly what I like to hear. James, this is. Yes, this is her, this is James. He's basically my right hand man, my manager. He is the man and he's the guy responsible for making me tons of money. So thank you, James. No, I realized that. I realized that I make me two. So OK, no, we were just going to go get a drink. We were going to Mosey on over to the bar and get look who it is. Yep. And you know she's going to try to give me the major hard sell to sign. OK, look, no, no, no, no, no. I'll, I'll deal with it. I'll deal with it. Can you please just hang with James for a bit? I got like I got I have to deal with. And then that would be amazing if you could bring me a drink. Oh, my God, that would be that would be incredible. Thank you. Hey, come here. Thank you. OK. I'm sorry. I I got to deal with this. This this could mean, like money. So. Well, just remember I told you they're trying to get me from another label. Well, she's the one who wants to do it. What? She's. Yeah, she's. Yeah, I guess she's kind of beautiful. Yeah. What? No, Look, whatever you're thinking, don't worry about it. This is business and this is going to be a dog eat dog kind of deal. So I'm kind of mentally preparing for this. I kind of knew it was coming. Just. Yeah, Yeah. OK. Just hang with James. Like right here. Just hang right here. And I'm going to. Oh, no, here she comes. Sure. Just just grab yourself a drink. Grab me a drink if you can. And then you sit right here. You can watch all this go down. Watch. OK. You know what? Sit and watch. Watch how I do this. You're going to like this because I'm. I'm going for this road. This is a go for this road deal. OK. No. Hey, I'll be back. Sylvia. I'm well. How are you? Good to hear. Well, thank you. You look pretty damn good yourself, too. I have. I've thought about it. Well, obviously I have to talk it over with a few people. Well, if we did that, then it might not go in my favor, especially if you're the one buying the cocktails. No, no, tomorrow I will give this my full attention, I'll give my lawyer a call and I'll see what I can do about getting out of the current contract. And your flattery is admirable, but you're not playing fair, especially wearing that. I don't know what you're talking about. These are just my regular gig clothes, not normally, but every once in a while I do play in a suit just so I can take layers off while I'm playing and makes it interesting. I will. You have a great evening too. I'm looking forward to it too. Like I said, I will give them a call tomorrow and then we'll go from there. All right? OK. Good to see you too. Hey. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Kiss on the cheek because you're going to leave lipstick all over me because I don't feel like washing it off. Now stop. Enjoy the amenities, enjoy the beverages, and I will talk to you soon, All right? Yes, I promise I will call you. All right. Bye. Bye. Unpacking the Overwhelming Reality of a Musician's Life Hey, where's my girl James? She needed air. Where did you send her? Is she all right? OK, keep the savages occupied. I'll be back. OK. OK. Good man. Hey, are you OK? Yeah, I know. James said you needed some air. Are you feeling all right? Yeah, I know. Yeah. It can be a little overwhelming and a little nuts. Are you, like, physically you feel OK? Do you need you want to go? Yeah. I mean, I'm guessing you haven't done like the crazy backstage thing before. Sorry, I should have warned you. It can get kind of nuts. Yeah, I know. There's always so many people. Always. I know I probably, I probably should have given you kind of like a heads up beforehand. I mean, you've never had to deal with any of this. My hiatus is over and as Willie would say, on the road again. No, no, not yet. No, no crazy tours. I'm keeping it local for now, but every time we play this kind of shit happens girls. Is that what this is about? Is that why you're out here? What is? I know, I know. But you know what it's it's part of the, it's part of the game. It is an unusual game. Hey, hold on, I want to talk to you. I know this might seem like crazy to watch all this go down and everything. First, stupid question, does this make you uneasy or make you jealous or anything like that? Why I Can Be My Authentic Self Only When I'm With You A little. Here's what I want to say. All of the is part of the game. All of the people who come up and talk to me, you know, all of the girls, all of this stuff. It's just it's part of this entire game, which I guess I should have talked to you about before I even brought you here. What do you mean? No, no, I mean, it's hard to explain. OK, so this is part of the whole gig. And yes, I mean, I like it to a certain degree, but underdressed. What do you mean? Oh, look, you know, like everybody, everybody who shows up to these things gets done up to the nines. You know, everybody's trying to impress. Everybody's trying to impress everybody else. Everybody's trying to impress me. No, it's not working. Underdressed. What do you mean? Everybody throws all kinds of money around to make themselves out to be like, you know, do a one up on everybody else. Trust me, you're not underdressed. You look absolutely incredible. Let me explain something to you. Now I've got this huge place, right? You've seen my place. It's huge. You've been there lots of times. So why do I always come to your place? Why do I always want to go to your place? Because it gets me away from all of this. It gets me away from this insanity. Do you know why I spend all my time with you? And do you know why I don't want to spend a ton of time with these people unless I have to? It's because when I'm with you, I can be me, OK? I can be me. I don't have to pretend. I don't have to put on a front. I don't have to dress. You know, like you've seen. You've seen me at your place and you've seen me at my place. I wear whatever the hell I want when I'm here. I got to look a certain way. I have to act a certain way. I have to be a certain way. When I'm with you. I don't. I can be myself. And that is the greatest thing I've ever had in my life. I mean, I've spent all this time, so much time putting on this act. Every time I'm with these people, I can't just be me. They would look at me weird. They'd look at me sideways. You know, when we're sitting around and we're just cuddling a beam, Like we're in our, you know, our ripped up bold clothes. We're watching movies, we're eating Doritos, we're ordering pizza. We're doing what the hell we want. That's what I want. There's, you know, all these people trying to get my attention. There's all these girls trying to get my attention. I don't want their attention. I want yours. You know, we met when I was on break, so you haven't really had to deal with any of this. But this is a show. Can you do me a favor? Stand up for a second. OK. I want you to look at me and I want you to listen very closely. I am absolutely, 1000% crazy about you, OK? Just you. I know what this is. I know how fake this is. I know that all of the people in there, the only reason why they're so nice to me and why they're so flattering and why they're coming on to me and all of this crap is because they want something. When I met you, when I when I first met you, you didn't even know I did this. You didn't even know I was a musician and we had the greatest time. I didn't even bring it up till later because I was so blown away by the fact that I had finally met somebody who didn't want me because of who I'm supposed to be. You were somebody who wanted me because I was me, and I was always me with you. I never put on a big act. I never put on a big front. I never came across to you like, you know, do you know who I am, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's kind of crazy that you didn't know, but you didn't. And now you know I am here with you because of you. My Heartfelt Confession and Our Escape from the Chaos Hey, stop. Look at me. All right, I'm crazy about you. I don't care about any of this. I do it for business. That's all I do it for. And all of these people trying to get my attention, I, I say what I have to say to them because I kind of have to keep up appearances and all that stuff. You know what I want to do right now? I want to leave. I want to grab you. I want to take you out of here. I want to go get ice cream somewhere. I want to go to that 24 hour place and get pancakes and then go back to your place. Not my place. Go back to your place and chill on your couch and cuddle and just hold on to each other and talk about stuff like real stuff. You know, I get so tired of talking about oh, how great this is and how the business is and blah blah blah blah blah. I don't give a I do that because I have to. What I want to do is I want to spend as much time with you as I possibly can. OK, let me put it this way. I'll try to answer this as straight up as I can. If I wanted them, if I wanted to spend all my time with them, I could and I would. But I don't, I don't in this hand, you know, all the time. It's really weird. But if I think about it, I can feel in my mind what your hand feels like. I can feel what your lips feel like when I kiss you. I constantly think about your eyes. I constantly think about every inch of you. Yeah, in a naughty way. But that's not all. You remember when you had a cold and I had to come over and look after you? That was the greatest thing ever. It pulled me out of this. The only thing that I thought about was getting you better and making you feel good and just looking after you. You know, I have to do a lot of crazy things in this stupid business, but that's what I want. I want to be able to go home to you. This is like work. It's like going to work and when I'm done, I get to leave and I get to go home to you. And when I walk into your place or even when you come over to mine, it's like being home. It's like this is what I want. I guess I have to kind of leave it up to you whether you're OK with this and whether you can deal with it. It's a lot to take, you know, it's a lot of and I understand that and it would really me up if you decide like this is just too much and you don't want to do it. I understand if that's the way it is and that's how you think, but it's the last thing I want. All I want is you. That's it. So I guess I have to let you think about that and see what you come up with. But like, I just, I haven't said this in I don't know how long, a really, really, really long time. But I'll tell you one thing. I love you. I love you like crazy. I'm absolutely mental crazy about you and I love you so much but I'll leave it up to you what you want to do. I won't push like I said I know this is a lot but I just. I needed you to know that. I need you to know that you do. I haven't said that in so long, but it's true. It's all I think about. You're all I think about. OK, Fire away. What's your question? You're damn right we can. Let's do it now. Let's leave. We'll do a walkthrough, you and I. I'm going to have my arm around you. We're going to wave to everybody and we're going to leave. You're on. That sounds like a great idea. Let's go get a sundae and then go back to your place. Absolutely. You know, I left my goofiest pyjamas there. Let's curl up and talk and cuddle. I'm staying tonight and I'm turning off my phone. The only thing that matters to me tonight is you. Come on, let's get the hell out of here.
