I will say this about That is my my awkward robot dance white guy move, but um, we dance our asses off. Noel and I, our shows are all about like super high energy. The more we can get them dancing, singing, and clapping along with us, the more energy it gives us. It's just sort of our trademark that we've become known for basically.

Let's see what else we got here. Pre-show ritual before we go on stage, just all trying to pump each other up. Exactly. So what do you guys do before the show? What is the pre-show? What's what's the ritual?

I mean, mine's not that exciting because I, you know, as a singer, Noel and I, we have to like do a lot of uh care and maintenance on our voice because, you know, we'll sing night after night after night. So, I have a whole warm-up vocal routine. And it's just trying to like have a moment of silence and center yourself because, you know, we we work in so hard all day. We're visiting all the the radio stations in every city, so that's like try and carve out that little moment to just center yourself before we go out on stage. And the boys, they're drinking beer. I mean, that's what they're doing. That's that moment right there.

Okay, let's see what else we got. Okay, this is another moment. Uh, yeah, we just played Austin, Texas. Is this before or after?

Uh, no, this is after and it was 112 degrees outside when we played on stage. So this is me trying to hydrate and cool off Jeremy in our band post show.
