🎸I Want to See Them Before One Of Them Dies - E22

Clancy Denton  0:00  
Welcome to the loud quiet. Ooh, empty nester. Okay what does that mean?

Rick Denton  0:06  
I think that actually probably is the theme of the next. What are we doing? Let's do this. Let's do this thing. Is this Recording? yes

Clancy Denton  0:15  
Great sans children just does we need a tissue box up here. Follow along on our journey and maybe you know we can learn from others

Rick Denton  0:23  
i have no clue how to be empty nester there.

Clancy Denton  0:25  
This is the loud quiet, living the empty nest 

Hello welcome back to the loud quiet episode 22 It is bitterly cold here today we have a higher episode number that is the temperature that temperatures are lower than our episode number we braved it went to church. But man, it's cold made me realize I'm very happy to not have to be standing outside at soccer games anymore.

Rick Denton  0:54  
Boy, that is the absolute truth. And it is our soccer family that has told us what the nice temperature is out there. And we hear a 70 degree or something being told to us, man, I'm in that warm this

Clancy Denton  1:06  
later this week. It is getting back up to like 75 out there. So yes. So yes, welcome back, we may have a fun, fun one to do today. So yeah,

Rick Denton  1:17  
this one this is inspired by just kind of a random event at work. I was I I'm in an office by myself. And I listen to music all the time. And for some reason, out of the middle of nowhere, a band from the 90s it was actually a Christian rock band called Dakota Motor Company came to mind. And I started playing it. And I was listening to every little one of the like, I knew all the songs could hum along with the words. And it just made me think and we got to talking about the music that we listen to that was impactful to kind of our early dating days, our dating days, our married life. And as we're in this emptiness phase, it's kind of fun to remember those things. And even when we listen to those albums, now they're meaningful to us now. It reminds us of that period, which I think is so important to making the success as we've now returned to just the two of us.

Clancy Denton  2:13  
It is interesting you brought up I don't know that band that you brought up. But you sent me that Spotify list. That was 90s Christian youth group, it was Youth Camp youth. It was youth camp. And I I knew almost all of them. Some of them were a little later. 90s. So but yeah, but I knew a lot of them. But

Rick Denton  2:34  
I'm able to go back and listen to that playlist because I loved the descriptive description is perfect. That is a youth camp.

Clancy Denton  2:40  
We don't have any Christian albums on are valid part of our dating now. So

Rick Denton  2:46  
there's a side story that we're not gonna go about jars of clay

Clancy Denton  2:51  
that makes us sound that wasn't part of our dating life. Jesus out the window during our day.

Rick Denton  3:00  
We listen to gospel music on the way to church every Sunday morning. I can't remember what the radio station was. So let's go through this run. So this is going to be all about the albums bands that were meaningful to us.

Clancy Denton  3:17  
Yeah. So this one you actually introduced me to Yeah, even though I was from there. I mean, I was. So this one. Jacket compares. Yeah. And this

Rick Denton  3:30  
is free which this is the first vendor Yeah, this is the first vineyard. So this is the very first album that yeah, this one

Clancy Denton  3:39  
is just what I always digitalize because this was when we had CD is so you had the cover art on your you know, Phoebe so but yes, you you introduce this band to me like I was saying, you know, even though I was finishing school in Dallas, and that was there they were in SMU SMU ban Yeah.

Rick Denton  4:01  
They were obviously bigger than that by then that's where they started was playing frat parties at SMU. Yeah so yeah jack up here's my first seeing of them was when I came in the two I don't know if it's over Christmas or summer it doesn't matter but I was visiting friends at Baylor and saw them at a I couldn't even tell you the club that we saw them there in Baylor and just fell in love with two guys and a guitar they later added a full band to guys and a guitar and yeah people at school actually called me Rico Pierce because of my obsession with them at times. But we brought this into us was we saw them I couldn't tell you how many times their development trees and

Clancy Denton  4:46  
and then we went back after because we had kids already and then we're like, oh, they're playing again. House

Rick Denton  4:53  
of Blues. That's right. They had broken up and then had finally come back together after maybe a decade.

Clancy Denton  4:59  
Yeah. Huh. And it wasn't the same. And sometimes,

Rick Denton  5:03  
sometimes let's just keep the CD now. I think even didn't we go see, we may have seen either Jack, or Carrie at a solo

Clancy Denton  5:13  
he had one of them had that American or horse or something i Well, we did. We saw Yes, we saw. Yeah. But that that concert I think solidified my days of knowing that. Yeah, I can't go to a club and stand for and, and the show didn't start till probably much later. Yeah, I can't do that kind of stuff. But it

Rick Denton  5:38  
this was, I have these visions of us listening certainly in the car and that sort of stuff. But we did a lot of listening to just music in the apartment where we were just hanging out in the evenings. And this being two guys and two guitars and playing songs. It is funny if you go back and listen. I was just listening to sound the other day drugs mean war, they don't mean peace anymore. And it's kind of funny listening. There's a little bit of I don't know if they would say that some of their music aged well, some of the things that they may have done later in life. They do have a phenomenal version of please come to Boston.

Clancy Denton  6:11  
Yes. That that's one of my favorites that they do. And yeah, and we would listen to this. You know, I can even visualize when we were traveling, having it you know, I guess we took the CD with us. Oh, yeah.

Rick Denton  6:27  
Do you not remember the big folder of CDs?

Clancy Denton  6:31  
Right? But I don't know. I mean, I guess when we were road tripping

Rick Denton  6:36  
out or you'd have your disc man, or whatever it was. And I don't think I ever had the five disc changer, but it was the I had to have that big folder of CDs for the road trip.

Clancy Denton  6:45  
Yeah, you did in the apartment. I remember we go in apartment.

Rick Denton  6:49  
Stereo speakers.

Clancy Denton  6:51  
So yeah, Jack appears. Yeah, that was a good one. And along with Jaco Paris, kind of in the same era of our dating life was and I think they were they connected in some way.

Rick Denton  7:03  
They operate in the same circles. They I think just as being people, sometimes they were together. They knew each other but burger

Clancy Denton  7:10  
polarizing. Yes. And this was one of this was there. I don't know if this was their last album. But this was the newer one. This was the one they tried. Yeah, they made it to the radio, but I liked it there other stuff that or whatever. We again was the two guitars and two guys, you know?

Rick Denton  7:32  
Was it club club data? Is that where we are?

Clancy Denton  7:34  
Yeah, where it was the check. The mic check that lasted for good.

Rick Denton  7:41  
It was long. It was a great show vertical rise and certainly put on a good show. And and I think you're right, that they did have members that went back and forth between them. And you know,

Clancy Denton  7:49  
because we did, we saw all you know, the are these last few weeks, you know, in de Belem. We've talked about how live music was a big part of our dating. You know, I just I don't know, did they still do much of that down there or that we just haven't seen so just listening

Rick Denton  8:10  
to like Danny Bayless formula that the ticket now he's on whatever the new 97 one is. But Danny Bayless has a club and they talk about the Dallas bands in the local bands. The problem is, it'll go on till 1111 30 I

Clancy Denton  8:23  
just Well, yeah. And I just know, when Tanner comes into town and they go to de Belem, it's all EDM music. You know, it's I just haven't there's other I haven't heard this wide of this kind of, even in his out of ASU, it's all seems to be more of the elect or the big festivals and that kind of thing. So I don't know. There's just no

Rick Denton  8:50  
rock is still there. It's just not quite the same that it once was. Yeah. So Jack appears vertical horizon. What's

Clancy Denton  8:55  
next? What's next?

Rick Denton  8:58  
This is decidedly not Jack. talked over you This is. This

Clancy Denton  9:03  
is ABA. Yes. So.

Rick Denton  9:06  
I mean, well, you were telling me your memory of on our phone. Yeah. Well, that

Clancy Denton  9:11  
was on day. Yeah. As I say it wasn't a date. But it's when you lived in that apartment. Horrible apartment in the village and village that yes, in the not so nice. Village apartment. Yeah,

Rick Denton  9:25  
the rest of the village was nice. The one that was not so nice. Had a car broken into not mine. It was a rental car. Yes,

Clancy Denton  9:32  
but yes, but I remember our first I guess we just were sorry. Yeah. And then you were like, Oh, come back and we'll watch the other VHS

Rick Denton  9:42  
the greatest hits. I think we still have it in the house somewhere. Not that we have the ability to play. I

Clancy Denton  9:51  
don't know. But who doesn't? I mean, I'm sure someone doesn't love ABA who doesn't love law but I mean, it's just feel good. Hoppy, fun music, you know, you can sing along to go to the extra every you know, I your sister's wedding, it was played, you know, and your dad was a huge Abba fan. And so that's

Rick Denton  10:18  
what I remember is the cassettes in the car. It just became a part of us, even to the point of Yes, celebrating this music. The Greatest Hits would be playing on the CD when we were dating. In when recently we went and saw that, I guess, String Quartet doing a candlelight album. Yeah, that's very good. Yeah, a lot of fun. Of course, they even said, okay, buddy, we know you're here to hear this. Don't sing along, except we'll have this one time that you can sing along. And

Clancy Denton  10:46  
the kids that were because they were kids that were in the string quartet. Some of them said, I didn't know who this band was. But then when they realized they were associated with Mamma mia, then they knew who they were. Because that's made music that group more may end the movie and yes, yes. So. But yeah, and, you know, so many. I mean, we just recently started out live just did a parody of them doing a Christmas album. And yeah, really,

Rick Denton  11:22  
what was funny about it is if you can visualize the 70s style of live concert where they take two cameras, and they merged the cameras together. So it looked like the people's faces were right next to each other. And so that's a no just had the people's faces right next to each, especially

Clancy Denton  11:39  
with all that, because that was such a thing for them was all you know, well, that was technologically they were to couple that thing together. And so yeah, so that was

Rick Denton  11:50  
until they weren't to come. Yes. This will not be a podcast episode about

Clancy Denton  11:56  
deep dive into ABA.

Rick Denton  11:58  
I guarantee it's out there. Oh, I'm

Clancy Denton  12:00  
sure. Yeah, we've seen I think we've watched a documentary or two

Rick Denton  12:06  
about a week podcast about

Clancy Denton  12:09  
oh, yeah, there probably is. So.

Rick Denton  12:14  
So that's about it. A lot of fun. And that just the spice of it

Clancy Denton  12:18  
is again, just fun. Feel good music. Alright, next Aedes, new wave. We decided when we just did a genre of because yeah, there's just too many.

Rick Denton  12:31  
I was thinking through this afterward, because the first name or the first one, they said, No, we say that. But you think about new order. You think about Depeche Mode, you think about arranger are the cure. And some of these are concerts that we've actually even seen. This is music that is on almost just constantly when we're listening to music, as we were driving home from church, it was first wave on Sirius XM. And these were on strong play for us when we were dating. And then like I said, when we went to go concerts to write choosing to go see these bands, and there's something about there's something about music that is cemented in your brain when you're in that high school era, that that becomes your music going. And I think that because it is that cemented and tattooed in our brains together. Music is a connectivity, it's a glue for us. It's something that we can enjoy, we can talk about, we can sing together or, um, or,

Clancy Denton  13:34  
and this is probably my favorite genre of music out there. And yes, I can turn on any any band playlist in this area and just love it. And our kids have heard it too. And their friends are like, how do you know these songs? Because, you know, we, we were big. Even in our dating and into our being parents. We don't have we don't keep the TV on as much as I have said I love TV. But you know, we don't keep it on while I'm making dinner. We don't keep it on while we're eating dinner. We know it's always music. That's what's always playing at some point. What

Rick Denton  14:26  
would Yeah, and I think it has been funny to hear the kids talk about whether they'll say either we played it or Yeah, no, there's a tick tock that

Clancy Denton  14:35  
right? Yeah. Yes. Tegan was singing some song the other day. I said, How do you know that song? Oh, it's a meme. Oh, it's a real Oh, it's Yeah. Taking out. Yeah. So so if you

Rick Denton  14:48  
were thinking we talked about some of those new wave and there's a whole kind of genre or spectrum from sort of kind of the darker side of New Wave to the really well even. I'd even put things like depends Smooth and that darker and a razor getting lighter and then even all the way into Howard Jones and a culture club?

Clancy Denton  15:06  
Yes.

Rick Denton  15:07  
Where would you put yourself like your favorite?

Clancy Denton  15:12  
That's really hard because I like them all. There are times that I want Depeche Mode. That's right. That's what he called depress mode from time. But then there's times that I want a rager and Culture Club and that and you know, and you know, it's hard for me. I mean, erasure is obviously my favorite new orders close second. Yeah, I don't I don't I don't think I could pick. It's hard. I think it depends on my mood. And it depends on and there are certainly ones that I when they come up, I'm like, pass, you know, because you hear them. So many times. I like some of the more obscure things that I don't need to hear the, you know, a rager song that was played 15 long times. I know, every album they have, I know the songs that I like. And so yeah, I don't I don't think I could pinpoint as to whether

Rick Denton  16:12  
you're right, though, about I like what you said about the past by the songs that we've heard so many times. Sometimes I feel that way about the cure as like we mentioned the cure, but it was that those discs were on heavy repeat for me as a high schooler and then you know, early dating and just dating in general. There are times I'm like, okay, yes, I've heard the caterpillar song enough. I don't need to hear it. So getting past it. I like how you said that it is very mood dependent, because it will be the poppy side of it. Or yeah, I really want to have the dark scent of the Depeche Mode or the the, I guess, moody guitars of the Smith, whatever it might be like, and

Clancy Denton  16:52  
you know, it'll be interesting, because in our generation, you know, this stuff was on the radio. We didn't have options to make other playlists or go find other music, you know, I mean, there were there were you know, right there to go do it. Yeah, you had your you know, station that played this kind of music, you had your rock station, but but the rock, but they kind of blend together then. So it's probably just really mainstream and country. There weren't a lot of, you know, if you lived in a place that had a university radio, then you had access to that. So there you got some of the different things, but our kids, they have access to so much everything they're in the mood and you know, I can get in the car. And if one of these songs comes on, I know every single word. I don't know, if they're unless they've plugged into, you know, like, obviously Tanner and Tegan to they know every Tyler the Creator, right. But they have so much access to so much different kind of music, that it'll be interesting to see what they pull out with.

Rick Denton  18:07  
What is there gonna be cemented in their brain High School version of music that they carry forward. And

Clancy Denton  18:13  
I don't I don't know as much as it is high school as it would be when they were younger. And we still had to play music the way that we played me. So you know, it'll, it'll, it'll be interesting to see what what comes out of that difference. So yeah, so I mean, we could do a whole podcast on 80s new wave, cuz we're not. I know. But that that is my, like I said, my favorite genre.

Rick Denton  18:45  
All right, here we go. Boy, you want to talk about something that is a connective tissue. But I even said to you, I don't want this to be first.

Clancy Denton  18:52  
Here's a turn on your man card.

Rick Denton  18:56  
The fact that this is even allowed is the man card stuff. Although my dad was so into this, so it was a male influence and brought it in. But yes, air supply. And

Clancy Denton  19:06  
this I mean, yeah, we listened to this album, a lot,

Rick Denton  19:11  
the beating of my heart. And it's lost, and it's looking for

Clancy Denton  19:15  
a rhythm like you. I still remember when we were like, Wait, what did he say? And? And that was before? Yeah, I don't think we could Google it. I think we pulled out because they had the words printed in the CD. And we'd been I've been singing that song. I mean, it's been on the radio, again from the 80s. I have no idea. That's what he said. And so

Rick Denton  19:38  
it's like, okay, that has been

Clancy Denton  19:41  
excellent. Writing

Rick Denton  19:43  
an ongoing joke for us to laugh about the lyrics. Which again, connective tissue, right? This is the laughs that come from that and yes, okay. Probably since I'm 50. I can admit this. Okay. The songs are good. It's hard to admit that but Is it is so sweet and romantic and soaring. You can just see the arena going on you can

Clancy Denton  20:09  
drum roll coming in on like sweet dream that song. Wouldn't

Rick Denton  20:14  
that be interesting to have experienced the concert when they were at their peak? I know now it wouldn't be the same.

Clancy Denton  20:21  
I'm still sad that I've never seen them live and star all the time. I know. Well, not all the time every week and they've come we're gone. Yeah, I wanted to go. They're coming in February. We're in Arizona. So no, I I want to see them before one of them die. Because they're way older than us.

Rick Denton  20:43  
Is that the title? I want to see them before somebody dies. Yeah. It's it's one that you would slowly it's too well,

Clancy Denton  20:54  
yeah. Yeah. And I'm trying to remember I guess they played at eighth grade dance. Probably. Ooh,

Rick Denton  21:01  
I don't know. I bet it was uncool enough. At that point, I think it needed to come back.

Clancy Denton  21:05  
I don't think any kids were making the playlist at the eighth grade dance. I would imagine it was true teachers, but I don't know. But this one to me is sitting in the apartment on Saxony or the Saxony apartment and mandala dra. Yeah. And listening to this in the CD, six CD. Oh, I only could have 505 Sorry, I didn't remember how many. So

Rick Denton  21:34  
there was probably a time that I had the Christmas lights on around the ceiling and the

Clancy Denton  21:38  
shelves that are in our garage and halibut were the shelves, the TV and the stereo. Not

Rick Denton  21:45  
only am I frugal, I'm just helping us have memories and connected back to those days of sitting on a couch together and cuddling up listening to air supply.

Clancy Denton  21:55  
So I think I think I stuck with this genre. Yes, I did. So

Rick Denton  22:05  
trying to introduce a little sensuality, combined with an intellectualism of classical. This is for those that are not familiar. This is sensual classics. 75 minutes of musical passion.

Clancy Denton  22:21  
Okay.

Rick Denton  22:22  
This was volume one. We had I had volume or we had Volume One and volume two.

Clancy Denton  22:27  
Yes, we did. Yeah, that was a week because I think we purchased those together as I just

Rick Denton  22:32  
stumbled on my words. Yeah. I'm sure there are there are playlists out there for bedroom songs and beats between the sheets and all that kind of stuff for Nikki music. I don't know that sensual classics ever really made it to that category. Because it is. It is a I mean, now the pieces are beautiful. It's all classical.

Clancy Denton  22:55  
We loved ones. We love these albums. Now the first one, I think we really liked the first one. The second one, I think we're a little ho hum.

Rick Denton  23:02  
They're beautiful pieces. There's nothing wrong with them. It's just in spite of the bodice ripping romance novel cover that exists there. I just don't know if it was really a mood generator.

Clancy Denton  23:15  
Probably just put it by sleep. We were in our 20s Do we need a mood generator back then? They wish to pull this out

things are different when you're in your 50s versus in your early 20s.

Rick Denton  23:34  
If you're in your early 20s just sort of let's Tuesday you know a bird chirps right. Yeah. So yes, central classics may have we may have confused this album as a trigger, as opposed to just being in our 20s. Maybe this

Clancy Denton  23:55  
should be our Valentine's you know, we won't know this will be our first Valentine's Day with no children around. Maybe we should pull up maybe we shouldn't. Or we're not going to pull out because we have no place to play it. But maybe we should. I'm sure we could stream it somewhere.

Rick Denton  24:12  
I don't even know how to handle this. But yes. So and classical music was all sensual Joking aside which it is true. was a key part of us too. Right? We listened to a lot of classical music, and I'm visualizing specifically first year when we were at the house on Monforte I'm sorry, Martel to me EMS. I had this visual of listening to a lot more classical then when we were married along with the dating in the Manfra department but they're just something I think at dinner we were listening into it and you know we even carry this forward there was a CD that we played for the for Tanner when he was when you were pregnant putting this on. So classical was a big part

Clancy Denton  24:58  
of Yes, yeah. And now And that is one thing. We span the genres we love, you know, 80s rock. We love all genres of music. And I love and I know it. It makes you your heart happy when Tegan on her way to drill team every morning, she would turn on the classical music because she just liked it because it was quieter. It wasn't her, you know, stuff that normally listens to so

Rick Denton  25:30  
you saw about it being quiet on your right. And I tend to use it more for the mellowing out, you know, Tanner sometimes when he said when he was going to soccer games as part of his hype list. He actually had classical on his hype list as well, along with, you know, rock and EDM and everything else, but he would have that. Yes, it did make me happy that they were dialing into that. And

Clancy Denton  25:51  
we did you know, I mean, when we when we were dating, you know, we went to the symphony. And you know, I felt fancy that we were going to I know we need to

Rick Denton  26:01  
that'll be i That's one of the things I want to do. Yeah. Chill out me. So we will get back to going down there. Yeah. And enjoying that as well.

Clancy Denton  26:12  
Yeah. So that's our classical and we did we we didn't even touch on you know, we used to listen to the WR our radio station on whatever night it was. I can't remember it would be at dinner. But it was about

Rick Denton  26:27  
seven o'clock was probably eight. Yeah. And he was in class.

Clancy Denton  26:31  
Yes. They are. We enjoyed. enjoyed that. So this one was we listen to this. All the time. Dave Matthews Band said

Rick Denton  26:46  
specifically the under the table. And I Yeah. This was a heavy rotation.

Clancy Denton  26:52  
Yes. Very.

Rick Denton  26:54  
No, I don't remember. Did we see Dave Matthews together? I saw him at a club in Austin, but I don't.

Clancy Denton  27:00  
I saw them in London. When Oh, yes. I heard a neat little theater over in London. Yeah, it was sort of like we saw I was independently. Okay, so they came out in 91 was their first big album. I just saw that too. And so I would have been in London in 95. Summer of 90 Summer of 96, I guess. And I remember still, you know, I don't even know how Jennifer and I found it. But we saw that they were playing and so yeah, we pay and got to go see them. And this really cool, neat. Old London theater. Yeah, it was really, really neat. Yeah, so now we've never seen him together. And I know, you know, people are diehard fans, because they still tour and so yeah, you know,

Rick Denton  27:52  
I remember that I liked the album's better than the concert, which is gonna be a weird thing to say, I'm not a jam band guy. And when they would go off on JamBand I wasn't stoned. And so I don't think I had the same level of enjoyment as many of the people in the audience did. And the album's though, and it's still here. There's an example of a song that I swiped past but was when we listen to all the time crash into me. And then there's a little reference in the ticket about ants marching, where they associate that with Chris Chris, the overly handsome sales guy. Right. And so there's lots to Dave Matthews. That ties us back to that time, it is something we've listened to and absolutely,

Clancy Denton  28:34  
yes, I mean, that one, that one I can just visualize in the apartment again. But yeah, that one was on heavy rotation. The last

Rick Denton  28:46  
one that's on this list is one that this is the one that I think of being on Play. And we've said this a lot. All the time in the house, and this is Matchbox car. Yeah, the car, Matchbox 20. What does it tell yourself or someone like you and I forgotten the title, the album. This is the one if you go back and listen to the album. It is shocking how many hits were on. And I realized there's not a coolness here. This is not one that gets you inducted into the used record. Cool section of the store. The songs on here too, though, if you were a college kid in the 90s, or a recent post college kid, or like us dating, you know, just about every song and every word on there. It's not just 3am there now. Yeah. And I can't list them next. We don't have them. This to me, kind of encapsulates what that mid to late 90s. rock scene was. This is post grunge. So you're out of that. You haven't made it quite into what I would call sort of the Timberlake timberland kind of era of the arts. It's it this was just sort of raw or

Clancy Denton  30:00  
it was them who I'd put who do. Dave Matthews Band I'd put in that same. They weren't all kind of in that. Counting Crows. Yeah, rock.

Rick Denton  30:10  
Yeah, we listen to the Counting Crows a ton. It didn't seem to have any other categories, just rock. And I know again, a lot of folks might even call it sort of generic because it was sort of pop rock, but not the pop rock of Blink 182. Later, it was just yeah, guys just again, old guitars. And I

don't think there's a bad song on this album. And I'm sure there is but I don't remember like skipping through any of them. But yeah, so yeah, what Matchbox 20 was huge. And we saw it. We actually saw them at Texas motor speed. Yes. edge edge. Yeah, when it was when it was over there, then they moved it by our house. And we went a couple of times.

Rick Denton  30:54  
I was listening to the ticket talk about that edge fest that was over at the motor speedway, I forgotten some of the bands that were there. And soul was there. There's another band that I put in this category. And I don't want to list them all off here because guess what, I don't remember him. It was quite the

Clancy Denton  31:10  
your sister came from Vanderbilt and a couple of her friends. And

Rick Denton  31:15  
we got lost on the way home trying to find Taco Cabana, tortillas and queso. Which is so crazy

Clancy Denton  31:20  
to think now because now we know I mean, where it is. And actually the last time we went there was to get a good shot.

Rick Denton  31:29  
Alright, we're not doing it. So that was fun. That was the last one right that we don't have any more on the list. Do we think that was it. So that was a lot of fun going through that. And that's I keep talking about the connective tissue of this empty nesting thing. You know, we talk about how we want to offer this as tips to others and learn. I think that's something that we're learning and offer as a tip empty nesters is fine with that connective tissue was for you. For us music was a massive connecting element of us and talking about it now brings me smiles and brings me the feels and the memories of back then.

Clancy Denton  32:06  
And I think that's a good point is because we've been digging back into some of our dating days to figure out content. It is it's fun because we we can sit there and talk for an hour or two about Oh, and remember when this and that associated with that. And so yeah, it does it. You know, if if you're having a rough time, reconnecting with your spouse after your kids have have left it is it's fun. Just think of something from your dating young marrieds before you had your kids. And just bring it up and you'll be amazed at how much conversation it does. Spark.

So but it was fun when we had to start and think about well, we can't put that one in let's put you know, let's focus narrow it down. So it is though it is it's it's given us conversation topics which I think is one of the main reasons that we wanted to start this podcast so agreed. Yeah.
