Hello, how you doing? I'm Mark. I'm Glenn. I'm Danny, we are the Script and you're watching Young Hollywood.
And they are Hall of Famers. [Music] Hey, you can be the greatest, you can be the best. You can be the King Kong banging on your chest. Can I have my bell, please? [Bell rings] I am here with the Script, Danny, Glenn and Mark. [Weak applause] That got a very weak applause from the boys. How are you guys now that I've broken your eardrums?
Yeah, we're very good. Sorry, I clean out my ears. No, we're very good.
I just wanted to make sure you were awake. That's all.
we've been climbing off the turbos as well. I can barely actually hear myself because we um we played the Greek Yeah. the other night here and the crowd was so loud. My ears are literally still ringing.
Well, you guys have kind of like played, you've played big venues, small venues. How is it like do you prefer the big venues, the small, or sort of how does it change for you guys?
It's strange because, uh well, we got used to playing the small venues for many, many years because we were unsuccessful for way longer than we were successful. So, uh we got used to that, but then suddenly you get propelled into these big arenas and stadiums and um you have to take that on and it was really cool, it was really enjoyable, but I think this tour has been great for us because we've we've purposely chosen to go back to smaller venues so we can really contact, get in contact with the fans and just, you know, feel that love from stage.
Nice and they're up close. You can see their eyes and you can connect with people. You can talk about that, you can touch them.
Exactly.
Feel them up.
Grop them.
I could do something.
Especially it was a good-looking crowd as well. Get right in there. [Music]

And I know you met Will when you were judging the UK Voice. Yeah, yeah. So, I know that sort of collaboration kind of came about like you played him the song and he's like, I want this song. You're like, no, no, no, you're gonna play You're gonna play me. You're gonna be on ours, yeah.
We got a kind of kind of got him in a verbal headlock, uh, towards the end because he was like, he had promised a lot of things but actually trying to nail him down to do something.
A verbal headlock? This is a good one.
Yeah, it's a good one, isn't it?
Yeah, you can use that one. I was trying to think of that. Yeah, yeah.

Where Adele recorded her album.
So you guys didn't actually meet Adele? There was no, you know.
We have we've toured with Adele but um and we've met Adele at that studio. Yeah. I literally saved her dog one day. She owes me big time.
We did. We were actually at that studio recording and Adele was in one room recording. We were in the other and occasionally we'd come into each other, just check each other's music out, that sort of thing. Um I was just standing there and I just heard screaming going on like just bizarre stuff and I ran to the door and I see a tiny little dog come running down. And the guy who owns the studio has these two wolves. Basically, like
Like my intro.
Yeah, like wolves. They're that
scared me actually.
Yeah, they're big husky dogs but they look they look like wolves. And uh and they're scooting around the corner, chase like slow motion was just chasing this little tiny dog. And then Adele comes around the corner screaming, "Ah, my dog!" And did she sound incredible when she screams? Even when she screams she was in key and I was trying to scream in harmony with her. It got really weird then. Um, but her dog her dog arrived up and the only thing I could think of doing to not have the other two dogs eat him was lock him between my knees against the door like this.
You put the mini dog.
I have this little mini dog. I squished and killed Adele's dog there and then. I actually saved him from being eaten, so.
