I'm licking his feet, everybody. That's going viral.

Tell me about tell me what Could Have Been Me, what it's about. What what what is the song about?

Could Have Been Me is about, you know, the band we came to a fork in the road in our career. And, you know, we were either just going to have to rethink everything or we were just going to push on as a group. And we thought, you know what, let's carry on. Let's stay true to ourselves and not give up on, uh, on what we feel is the right thing to do. And and lyrically that's what the song's about.

I have a really weird taste in my mouth right now from licking his feet. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not gonna lie. Mad Libs. You guys know what Mad Libs are? A Mad Lib is where I'm gonna I'm gonna sing a Christmas song and you guys are gonna fill it in, fill the word in with anything you want. You don't have to use the word that I really want you to do this. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer had a very shiny.

Nose.

He went to the doctor and tried to sort it out and it turns out he had a cold. We have it's Mad Lib is you just fill it in with one word. I know it's failing. No, you just fill it with one word. I'll do all the work. You guys just fill it in with all. But that was good though. That was good. That sounds like a hit. That was a hit song. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it.

What? I don't know that one. Do you give me another one?

It's you can say you can you can put it in with any word you want. All right, all right. It's a Mad Lib. You make it up. And if you ever saw it, you would even say it.

Glowed.

Man. He's using the same ones that it's in the song. You got you could go on you could go on. That's my genius. Just like, you know. We're gonna skip that game. I didn't know that. We're gonna definitely cut that out of out of me. That That'll be cut out of the interview. I was brought up in a religious household. You know, Rudolph, like, he represents everything satanic. Horns, red nose, you know, whipped by a man dressed in red. How how more satanic can you get? What are you guys where are you guys gonna be for the holidays? You guys for Christmas?
