Yeah not a bit that it was crazy because I mean imagine I did a -- get a bit of a signing at a at a music store. A mile before before the guys got there and that is -- that you just thinking what it was rightly put on a sunny with a neutral about splitting up into about four. And got a lot of strange setup but like I mean Al peaceful first record second record albums everything they had could have been waiting twenty years. But that wouldn't be opting yapping with that they were all wrong at -- Like there's really odd to over there right yeah I hear there's a bit -- a horrible problem -- -- that's you know knew that they. He got a possible crede not. These guys these guys ought to don't.

Yeah and -- you know you guys are part of this big Red Sox compilation for the hundredth anniversary of Fenway Park -- and if you're gonna grow up in this area even if you know you're not into sports. It's the Red Sox I mean speaking of church. Yeah it's not -- it's not even a sport herb that's baseball having its threats such as you have to fix every. That does it does it states it's simply didn't do it our culture especially. The torturous part of -- the you know a -- pitch. -- the Red Sox a lot of money. Two years and years -- a pain but now and helping to get think the pretty decent and it's it's perfect time to patent celebrate our New -- eluding. Here's how it's at least a yeah yes yes and that goes get this celebrated implode in a press to get a chance. I didn't even like think twice when I got a call wanted to do a carte song on that but another sort of epitome of blocks it and it would mean -- end. I you know I it was it was really fun to do attract I don't know Arnold tracker got to try to -- it a little bit -- my TARP or don't. I know we don't spend a lot of time on the East Coast and market your families -- on the West Coast in your always travelling and stuff but I also know. They are proud Boston fan and ready to throw down with anybody that wants to talk crap no matter where you are. Yeah that that it's true like get as much as that -- you can outlets like wish I was there a bit more I am. A bit of an ambassador are. You Whitney York -- the deal with a huge occasion sitting next to me all the way to New York it was unbelievable. I. I took up tore up the plain. States. They had the added deputy at the sheriff from sort of air Marshal coronet commerce starkest. That would talk crap they got to bring up the Bruins are likely to know what. It's like game seven you have to have respect -- losing game seven in overtime it's you think anybody craps for. Her current not making material actually from a swept -- three you know 4131 or whatever that's -- -- -- yet. That you wish. Yes there's -- between being Alec Baldwin in getting kicked off a flight because you're playing words with friends. A whole other level of Barack -- bad ass if you knocked out a yankees fan on a trans continental flight. Yeah it was discussing that had like but only yankees hat which is bad enough. But he had yet like this glittery T shirt that the Yankees in the he had shoes it's the Yankees aren't discussing the markets do. Obviously. You know that security is not do their job you know TSA should not let a tour that's like. That's pretty good. Now you yankees have a couple loans to you can smell like a dukes are actually electric -- -- -- it. -- -- So -- compilation I have a theory. Gary agreed with me but I'm gonna throw county was well aren't rock stars all wanna be famous athletes -- famous athletes all wanna be rock stars to a false. Without a doubt true. Without a doubt I would even even the international world I'm a big you know being Portuguese support comedian grew up. You know up playing a lot of soccer or football as in -- gets -- and I've -- which follows Filipino Natalie all you know hockey and basketball on -- what shall follow a lot of the ball. The kicking birdie so I'm in Europe. Do recent shows a lot of players have been coming election real superstar this job that I've been complete awe of every one -- one. Backstage when you're about to count about down the -- They actually knew how lucky you are the Europe playing in front of an audience and other girls and we want which trade any -- you know like you create any peace. I would give anything to play to -- -- -- -- stadium. Play for Barcelona or or or play if you country Portugal or they don't get it what -- crazy. -- it yet without a doubt every everybody wants you know it's it's a reverse draw everybody wants to do the other. If you every place so -- Boston athlete in one of the the four major sports what which one would would be your choice. Cannot -- -- did you have to be Bill Buckner. Because that they get would have just wanting to gloat just a little bit too little left just to make it happen I really believe -- could've done it. I relive it over and over in my district -- say I would swap with it and see if they have a normal life but I would sacrifice that. A quantum leap in particular right is that. The ball hit the bat. Yeah but but but I'm not a positive level they would have to -- -- Bobby your flying through the air and I called it is hard I mean that's -- -- way back glad. That immediately that would -- an impression in my mind they're just stuck in the -- alive that was incredible. Photographer when a Pulitzer for the picture yes she did yeah it did well you're right you're the album ends today and plugging and Daniel -- guitar on the -- you guys did with -- -- -- it's pretty -- for that -- try and play guitar -- -- -- Yeah well you know the jurisdiction where we talk about oh we switch throws it ought to mean it's like. Out DA he even get -- -- I -- because I just I couldn't get on the field of the Nazi got a different psyche you know so it's it's a mutual respect. You throw a hundred mile an hour fastball. That's exactly. Exactly I can kick I can kick it but I can't I couldn't are not. There are some huge Red Sox legends on this album and you know so many big Boston. You know notorious musician and as an and the money's going to charity it's just a great project out -- way around. It is you know in in order it's always -- no matter what happens in normal no matter -- you done in the past or any success or lack there -- just to be -- To be a part of you know the community to do -- -- -- just application that -- whether it's legends whether it's -- The athletes everything else and just do something together like this always. For me especially when you're away it's not just -- trying to. Huge huge TouchWiz -- you know can change it to where you grew up in doubt. It was perfect -- I'm I'm really honestly without charting like. Sort of you know. That being tickets sales and America really probably apart and I I I it was it was so much fun to do reverend I hope we hope we can do to like you performance -- that you got big gains -- something's something's got to happen. Yeah yeah Gary alluded to it may be something what happened with you guys at the park sometime this year and I said you know you gotta let us know can I totally wanna be there for that.

Giant B on my acoustic I got that painted it would like three different college are these before or whatnot I got so much crap from Santo walk into that could. White Sox. -- the White Sox roared back. And and Dahlia but still you know I just try to represent and so I I I I really. But ultimately Belichick about how cool would be to do it in February and saw -- when we get a chance so they understood it. I I talked to Gary about the pressures of singing the National Anthem at the garden in front of like a sold out Celtics crowd. And I equating it and the pressure of not screwing up only -- all of that to the pressure. Of having to play guitar while staring at Rihanna is -- for hours and I. How do you concentrate under that immense pressure. It is it's a lot of pressure it's. So don't -- to -- blog is like the content Amber's show. Robert allowed just to make sure it all works out in the creek which are enormous company. Slick sort of speech. But you know it's like it's it's -- to -- dig its -- area.
