Top 10 Songs That Save Us - Part 1
Have you ever noticed how certain songs can instantly transport you to specific moments in your life, triggering powerful emotions and memories? This phenomenon lies at the heart of music's profound impact on our mental health—a topic David and Matt explore by sharing their personal favorite songs that make them feel good.
Selecting just a handful of favorites proves nearly impossible as both hosts struggle to narrow down their extensive musical preferences. David's selections include Depeche Mode's "Halo," Queen's "The Show Must Go On," and The Beatles' "Eleanor Rigby," each choice accompanied by personal connections and meaningful backstories. Matt counters with his love for The Chemical Brothers, Gene Vincent's "Be-Bop-A-Lula," and an hour-and-a-half Fatboy Slim concert that sustained him through COVID lockdowns.
The episode features a heartwarming "Winner of the Week" story about Kent Broussard, who at age 66 fulfilled his childhood dream of joining LSU's marching band. After watching them perform as a nine-year-old in 1968, Kent carried this aspiration for decades. Upon approaching retirement, he enrolled in college, relearned the tuba, began intensive physical training, and successfully auditioned—becoming the band's oldest member by 41 years. His story perfectly encapsulates the theme that music can inspire and fulfill us at any stage of life.
Throughout their conversation, David and Matt touch on music's ability to forge connections between people, create shared experiences, and provide comfort during difficult times. Whether it's a song that becomes special between partners or a playlist that keeps you going through global uncertainty, music's therapeutic benefits extend far beyond mere entertainment.

Matt Fox: 5:11
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 5:14
All right.
Announcer: 5:15
What are we?
David Wright: 5:15
doing. I love this story, okay, just because I and you'll relate to it, matt, as soon as I get into it. Okay, the dream never died, even after a wife and daughters and decades-long career as an accountant filled up every aspect of Kent Broussard's life. Somewhere deep in his mind, the dream still survived Now, 66 years old. He still remembers when it first took root in 1968, as a nine-year-old attending his first Louisiana State University football game. Wow, that was you. No, that was me. I got some stupid message. I'm not even connected to internet, right?
Matt Fox: 5:54
now.
David Wright: 5:54
You're good, you're good, go on. The golden band from Tigerland marched onto the field playing songs that rang out in the Louisiana air. The music and movement and pageantry of the college football band struck a permanent chord with Kent. Someday I want to be in that band. He never forgot that feeling. So as Kent approached retirement as an accountant, the Baton Rouge resident considered his next move. The dream still lingered, so he made an announcement to his family to reveal his future plans. I'm going back to school at LSU and I'm trying out for the marching band. The first step was relearning the tuba. It had been about a half a century since he played the instrument regularly.
David Wright: 6:39
So he couldn't even play a oneba, so he had a lot of work to do. He dove headfirst into practice and filled his neighborhood with the booming bass notes as he marched down his street. Wow, yeah, that's some commitment there it is. Kent also started strength training, working out with a weighted vest and running about 25 miles a week to prep for the rigors of the marching band. Wow.
David Wright: 7:02
Next, the senior enrolled in LSU chasing his dream onto the campus by taking 12 credit hours alongside students nearly five decades younger. The marching band tryouts were in early August and he gave it his all. He just needed to wait until the results were announced to find out if he could chase his dream onto the legendary football field. There was a countdown in the tuba room 30 seconds, 15 seconds, 10 seconds and right at 7 pm the list came out. Broussard told WAFB 30 to 40 people were jumping up and down saying I made it. Kent had made the band, becoming the oldest member of the squad by 41 years. Wow.
David Wright: 7:44
Last Saturday he took the field in his royal purple and gold uniform, holding his tuba in his hands. Songs and stadium cheers rang out in the Louisiana air, and some of them were from his wife and daughters in attendance. Amidst all the music and movement and pageantry that had enchanted him as a child, perhaps there were a few fans who started dreaming dreams of their own People. They can use this as an example. Your only failure is not trying, broussard said. If you don't try, you won't get there. So that's the story. So Kent Broussard joined LSU marching band at age 66 years old, playing the tuba, playing his tuba, playing the tuba In the band, on field in the marching band. You know what?
Matt Fox: 8:32
Good on him.
David Wright: 8:33
Yeah, it's fantastic.
Matt Fox: 8:34
It's never too late to join the marching band. Do you want to see a picture of Kent this one time? Here's.
David Wright: 8:39
Kent At band camp. Yeah, that's what he's saying right here.
Matt Fox: 8:43
That's why his arms were raised.
David Wright: 8:44
It was one day yep, yep, yeah, there's Kent in the marching band, if you want to take a look, man, that's great. Yeah, it's fantastic.
Matt Fox: 8:52
He had high, step it somewhere. Man Might as well start in college ball.
David Wright: 8:55
That is awesome, I mean, and here's the whole thing. I guess the age is a big thing, because how many people do you see that are in their 60s on a marching band. But the whole thing is he actually had to re-enroll in school, take 12 credit hours and try out, and he made it. So he must have been doing a lot of practicing with his tuba in his neighborhood before he went to tryouts. But good on him.
Matt Fox: 9:22
I love it.
David Wright: 9:22
It's fantastic. Thank you for that Great story. Great winner of the week.
Matt Fox: 9:35
That's how winning is done.
David Wright: 9:37
Yes, it is so speaking of music, so back to it. All right, so today. So let me set the scene here, folks, and matt's been furiously scribbling his notes off of his phone it's not that I'm scribbling, it's that there's this was a very tough topic it is.
David Wright: 9:52
It is really tough. And I didn't realize how tough it was, matt, till I texted you earlier today, uh-huh, uh-huh. And and that said hey, matt, if you have a list ready, I got one going myself. This is, this is really hard, because I, I can list hundreds, yeah, hundreds, uh-huh, and I don't even think I have 10. I just made a list. They're not even numbered. So same I, I, I just have a bunch. But. But we're gonna go through some of my favorite songs and matt is gonna also join with me and give me some of his favorites and we're gonna bounce off of each other because we're gonna probably get get into even favorite albums, favorite concerts.
Matt Fox: 10:29
There you go, we can get into that. I told you that you did.
David Wright: 10:32
You did, so we will get into that. So I guess I'm going to start. I'm going to throw out a song Age Before Beauty, go on, which is exactly correct, matt, it is oh good for you, you're welcome. So I tried and it's really hard because there's some bands that I love. Yes, beatles, rolling Stones, depeche Mode, muse you probably don't. You'll know Muse if you heard them.
Matt Fox: 11:04
Yeah, I know Muse.
David Wright: 11:05
One of my favorite bands, what is it? Starlights, enjoy the Silence. Okay, okay, personal Jesus is the most famous one. Okay, oh, depeche Mode. Yeah, oh, depeche Mode. Yeah, oh, depeche.
Matt Fox: 11:18
Mode yeah, we'll get there. You know it, we'll get there. I was talking about Mew I was talking about Mews.
David Wright: 11:22
Oh, I'm sorry, we're talking about Mews. Yes, okay.
Matt Fox: 11:38
So Mews is again probably the ones you would know are Knights probably uprising, yes, and and uh, probably could be black light search light no black holes.
David Wright: 11:42
No black holes and revelations. Thank you, that's what it is. Yep, yep, I, I, I know everything from you is I, I'm like a huge fan seen them twice, so go on. So, anyway, my first song I'm gonna throw out, and and here's the thing I tried not to use use multiples from the same artist. So this was really hard to kind of pick one song from artists that I like. Okay, but for Depeche Mode I'm going with Halo.
Matt Fox: 12:03
Wow, do you know that one I do. That's a deep cut, that is a deep cut, that's a pretty deep cut and it's my favorite, and I've seen Depeche Mode in concert seven times.
David Wright: 12:18
They've never done halo in concert I never have seen. Oh really, it's one of my bucket. Oh shoot, I'm gonna not remember the drummer's name because he passed away a couple years ago. So the last time I saw him it was just the two of them. Okay, gosh, this is gonna bug me. I gotta, I gotta, let me, let me do. I'm doing a quick search okay, go on.
Matt Fox: 12:38
All right, so you had your number one oh, you're andy fletcher.
David Wright: 12:44
Oh yeah, andy fletcher. Passed away. Yes, got it yep.
Matt Fox: 12:47
So, yes, you, you shared yours. Okay, so I'm going to share one of mine. All right, and this goes towards when I actually found out that I was really into this type of music. Okay, and forgive me, but it's the Chemical Brothers. Yep, their album Exit Planet Dust. Okay, the entire first 35 minutes of that album is just song after song and it's all mixed together. It's just there's no stopping, there's no breaks, there's no breaks.
Announcer: 13:14
It's all mixed together, it's just. There's no stopping, there's no breaks.
Matt Fox: 13:16
There's no breaks, it's all mixed together and it kind of turned my head to this is really something that I can get into. And it made me feel at the time because I was in my early 20s, I was ready to party.
Announcer: 13:28
That's where it took me.
Matt Fox: 13:29
I was ready to go and that just kind of took me from. There was the Chemical Brothers Exit Planet Dust, their album that came out Nice.
David Wright: 13:36
Great one. I love that. You know what I'll have to listen to that in full? Yeah, just to get it First.
Matt Fox: 13:43
35 minutes are just incredible. It's a masterpiece, is what it is.
David Wright: 13:47
All right, my next one. And again, trying to get one song out of an artist is almost impossible. Yes, it is, but I'm going to go with Queen on this one. Their catalog is so deep, oh yeah. But the one that resonates with me is the Show Must Go On, right, because I don't know if you know the story behind that. I don't actually so. When they recorded that last album, freddie Mercury was really ill yes, that we know. Recorded that last album, freddie Mercury was really ill, yes. And when they went into the recording session for this song, he was super sick and Brian May, the guitarist, said, hey, are you able to do this? And Freddie Mercury just said excuse my language. He said, fuck it, darling, let's just go do it Right. And they one take, recorded it.
Matt Fox: 14:35
One take.
David Wright: 14:36
Yeah, wow, and that song became kind of his anthem because he passed away not long after that. Right, and the video that they did with it was kind of a tribute to Freddie Mercury, because he was. I don't know if they did the video, because the video was a retrospective of all their concert performances and interviews and things, so it wasn't like a new thing, they just collected old stuff and put it together in honor of freddie. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, thank you for that. Yeah, absolutely, and again, that one's not that one doesn't make me happy, but it is inspiring.
Matt Fox: 15:08
Yes, put it that way it's meaningful he he was already knowing that he was not going to be on this earth for much longer and was suffering physically.
David Wright: 15:18
Yes.
Matt Fox: 15:19
Yes, and he knew that he had to get this last piece of himself out into the world.
David Wright: 15:24
And the performance is just out of this. I mean his voice. You couldn't tell he was sick. His voice was spot on. Yeah, yeah, All right, matt your turn.
Matt Fox: 15:36
All right, so this is an oldie, but a goodie, okay, and it's from the 1950s, all right, I'm up for that, and it's a song that I have been listening to for a long time and I was listening to it in my vehicle with my now partner and I'm singing along, having a blast with it. It's Gene Vincent Be Bopalula. Okay, and I'm just jamming along and I'm singing along and she got the biggest kick she loved that she got the biggest kick out of me.
Matt Fox: 16:05
Just you know it was. It's just one of those songs that resonates with me because it makes me know that she enjoys the music that I listen to, and how, how, and that I can sing it Right. Absolutely but you know, every once in a while I'll just sing it to her while we're laying in bed and I'll start singing it to her. It's just, it's one of those songs that really resonates.
David Wright: 16:25
Oh, awesome.
Matt Fox: 16:25
I love that for her.
David Wright: 16:26
And plus and plus it's. It's just, it's a good, feel good thing between the two of you. Yeah, absolutely so. It's great about music If you got people that are into the same music or love the same music you do. It's just fantastic.
Matt Fox: 16:39
Beep-bop-a-loo-la. I don't mean maybe.
David Wright: 16:43
Okay Again. So I'm going to the Beatles now. Okay, I could have listed 30, just from the Beatles.
Matt Fox: 16:54
Whose library is bigger, the Beatles or Queen? The Beatles, yeah. Is bigger, the Beatles or Queen? The Beatles, yeah. Go on.
David Wright: 16:57
Yeah, but this is so tough, I hate even saying it because then I'm going to think, oh, is this the right decision? But this is the one I stuck on. Eleanor Rigby oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. That's one of my favorite Beatles songs, that's fair, yeah. Strawberry Fields kind of resonates with me. I do like that one See, it's so hard because we could bring up millions of Beatles songs.
Matt Fox: 17:18
And that song resonates really, really hard with me Strawberry Fields because my daughter, my youngest, we would listen to the Beatles. I introduced my girls to a lot of different music.
David Wright: 17:29
Oh, I would think so.
Matt Fox: 17:30
Yes, and Jasmine would get in the back seat and she'd say, daddy, can you play Strawberry Fields? So that just resonates. Yes, would get in the back seat and she'd say, daddy, can you play strawberry?
David Wright: 17:38
fields you know. So that just resonates. Yes absolutely that's awesome.
Matt Fox: 17:41
Eleanor Rigby is up there for me as well.
David Wright: 17:44
okay, good, great good yeah, I, I, and it's like I said, it's so tough paring these down. So so those of you listening take this with a grain of salt, because I love all the beetle stuff. It's not like I dislike any other ones but we have to pick according to my own mind. I didn't want to do multi because I could do. I could do top 10 on any artist I like and it would be easy, you know sure, sure.
Matt Fox: 18:05
So let me take you back to COVID. Okay, in January of 2020, mr Norman Cook, aka Fatboy Slim, aka genius on the turntables and samples, and what have you? Yep, he did a concert in Australia and it's an hour and a half of pure brilliance of DJing and playing music, his music and just other people's music and mixing it in and just getting the crowd moving.
Matt Fox: 18:34
It's just the entire hour and a half. It kept me going through COVID, through my workday. I would just set it aside and I would just play it over and over again. I know it, I memorized it front to back. I can tell exactly where you are at this concert in Australia. It is. You look it up on YouTube. It's just Fatboy Slim Australia. It's an hour and a half of per brilliance.
David Wright: 18:57
Nice.
Matt Fox: 18:59
And it's not just one song, it's the entire feeling that he was able to do. And then the world shut down.
David Wright: 19:06
Oh, yeah, well, and it's funny you say that, matt he was able to do, and then the world shut down. Yeah, well, and it's funny you say that, matt, because even I mean because again, during COVID, when everything shut down, we were, we were kind of locked in, but but the one thing we still had was music oh, absolutely. That was great because music still exists. I mean, even even when they were delaying TV shows and movie production and everything, music, you still can turn to that. Yeah, and that's the great thing about it.
Matt Fox: 19:31
Yeah, he was live at the Sidney Meyer Music Bowl for just an hour and a half of brilliance and it's an amazing video and the music is fantastic. All right, that keeps me moving.
David Wright: 19:43
Okay, man, I'm going to bring up a fairly. I'm hoping you know this. Okay, moving. Okay, man, I'm gonna bring up a fairly. I'm hoping you know this. Okay, it is fairly. I'm not gonna say it's obscure, but it's from the band ides of march. Okay, vehicle, I have no think I've heard that song. Okay, we can play. We can play a few seconds. I think that would be fine. We're not gonna run this. We could try it. Yeah, we can. Hopefully we'll get shut down. No, we won't.
Matt Fox: 20:06
All right, you got it. Oh, you got, you're pulling. Yeah, I'm just gonna. I'm just gonna just yeah, we can Hopefully we won't get shut down. No, we won't. All right, you got it. Oh, you got it, you're pulling it.
David Wright: 20:14
I'm just going to just Say Ides of March. Yep, hold on, I got to wait for. Sorry, hold on. Oh, that's a commercial. Oh, okay, so we're good with that I was about to say I'm just trying to, I'm not on my normal YouTube login, so so I'm munching on popcorn, Okay you'll probably know this when you hear it.
David Wright: 20:31
All right, do it quickly. Okay, here we go. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I got it. Yeah, yes, I don't know why. Every time this song comes on, I just vibe to it. I just, is it the treble or the bass that you're into?
Matt Fox: 20:47
No, it's just the whole thing, man, it's just a great the band behind there and just the trumpets and the trombone going.
David Wright: 20:54
It's from 1970. So as a kid I'm sure I heard this, but I've just refound it within the past few years, just kind of listening to music and I'm like God, I love this song. Yeah, it's fantastic. That was great. Again, that's a that's a kind of an obscure one, but I love it. Yeah, it makes me feel good. Thank you for that. Yeah, All right, You're up, Matt.
Matt Fox: 21:15
All right, so let me take you further back. Yeah, let me take you back to the eighties. Of course you remember the movies that came out back then yeah, they were all John Hughes films. But you had something that was going on in the 80s. It was called breakdancing.
David Wright: 21:30
Oh, of course.
Matt Fox: 21:31
And breaking. The movie Breaking and the second Breaking 2, Electric.
David Wright: 21:36
Boogaloo came out. I have to admit, I have not seen either one, oh my.
Matt Fox: 21:41
God, you have to watch these shows, these movies. They're terrible, but the music is amazing. Okay, okay. Because it's breakdancing music from back in the day Yep George Kranz, the song Din Da Da yes.
Announcer: 21:53
Din Da Da.
Matt Fox: 21:54
Yeah yeah, so that is one of the more fun dance songs as a DJ that you can throw into a mix and people will go. I've heard that, but they don't know where it came from. Right, but they like it, they love it. And then you watch the video and you realize he's white. You're like whoa, what just happened?
David Wright: 22:13
That is bizarre. When you have a picture in your mind of a singer and then you see them, you're like whoa.
Matt Fox: 22:19
It's an iconic song for folks back in the 80s and the breakdancing scheme. Right Now, in this day and age, they are sampling that music, what they did back then into what they're doing today.
David Wright: 22:33
So it's just they keep reinventing things using old stuff. Yeah, Well, absolutely. I mean look at artists today that sample old music. Yeah.
Announcer: 22:39
They love it.
David Wright: 22:40
Yeah, I mean, it's a tribute to these songs and these artists George Krantz man Din Dada Fantastic, to these songs and these artists George Krantz man Din-da-da Fantastic, cool, go on, all right. My next one, eminem. Ooh, really it's so hard because all of his stuff is so good. I love everything he's done and he writes at a PhD level, right. So I'm just going to go without me. It's just a. I can't help but singing to it and rapping to it when I hear it. Nice, it's like an automatic hook into my mouth. Yes, and I just go along with it.
David Wright: 23:15
Yeah, I love it, I love it yeah.
Matt Fox: 23:18
We actually I did, jamie and I, we actually DJed a fundraiser. Yeah, this is all pre-COVID Mm-hmm, and we were at the Hard Rock Cafe downtown Detroit when it was still there. Yeah, and we did this amazing fundraiser for a family. The young lady, the daughter, had a lot of medical challenges, seizures, and you know she was getting to be older.
Matt Fox: 23:42
Mom weighed a buckle five soaking wet, and you know she was in just a regular wheelchair. So we put together a fundraiser for this family to get the young lady a new wheelchair and then also a service dog to let mom know when the daughter was going to have a seizure Right, and it was Jamie myself. Jimmy Doom from 93.9.
Matt Fox: 24:03
The River and 89X from back in the day and we just came together and we started putting this Facebook campaign and we were just going to be fundraising and we had silent auction and one of our friends was scrolling through their Facebook and their boyfriend looked over their shoulder and goes what was that? And they pulled it up and he goes I want to DJ that with them and it just so happened to be Eminem's tour DJ from way back in the day.
Matt Fox: 24:29
It was Kevin DJ Head, oh, and he came in and he DJed the night with us. So, emmy award winning DJ.
David Wright: 24:37
Yes, absolutely.
Matt Fox: 24:39
And he just came and he hung out and he pushed it on his socials as well and we had such a great time with this family. So, eminem, he knows what he's doing. Yes, he does, and it was fun to see him at the Lions game yesterday too.
David Wright: 24:53
Yes, sitting with Barry, yeah, exactly.
Matt Fox: 24:56
But for what his tour DJ did, what Kevin did for with us and for us. It was amazing, so it was a good experience.
David Wright: 25:03
No, that's awesome. Yeah, and again, I'm going to say this a million times I, I can't pick just one from Eminem, but I did, but I, I, I, just he, just he's just fantastic artist, Sure.
Matt Fox: 25:15
So, in that same vein, I'm going to stick. I'm going to share with you a song. I can't play it, but it's by the group gramp, group Dell, the funky homo Sapien. You ever heard of them? I have not. So they have a song called Mr Dabolina, Mr Dabolina, Mr Bob Dabolina, which actually is a reference to an old Monkees episode from way back in the day.
David Wright: 25:38
Oh okay, Now we're getting somewhere.
Matt Fox: 25:41
But it's Mr Dabolina is the name of the song by Dell, the Funky Homo Sapien, and it's a rap song, but it is such that beat that you go. That's amazing. I was at the Detroit Shipping Company and I was doing a DJ night there and somebody came up and asked for it. I said not only do I have it, I will play it right the F now, yes, and I mixed it in.
David Wright: 26:02
Well, you had to be for somebody to ask for it you're probably like for somebody to ask for it. For sure I was blown away.
Matt Fox: 26:06
It was a young white chick too. I'm like oh my God, that's amazing. It was great.
David Wright: 26:14
So yeah, mr Dabalina, mr Bob Dabalina, well, I'm going to take your list home with me. Some of these I have to check out yes, please, because yours are. I have a feeling you're very, you're much deeper into the music.
Matt Fox: 26:25
It's a little obscure.
Announcer: 26:26
Well, yeah, but you're a.
David Wright: 26:26
DJ, that should be. I mean, I do have a couple of obscure ones, but more obscure, but I think yours are going to go deep All right, which is great, that's awesome. You're welcome. Fantastic Next yeah, every time I look at a song I'm like, should I pick that one? But these are the ones I love. It's just the way it is, and some of these can be very commercial. But 25 or 6 to 4 by Chicago, the original.
Matt Fox: 26:58
Wow yeah.
David Wright: 27:04
That's neat. I can't play it, but I can hum it. Man, that's good. I love that. No, I again. If it comes on, I won't. It's like one of those things where, put it this way, it's on my favorites playlist on my Spotify. Okay, that's.
Matt Fox: 27:31
Yeah, because I don't remember seeing them when I was there for my 40th Right. It may have been like next year.
David Wright: 27:36
After that it could have been. Yeah, I know that's, it seems like it's I'm going to say within the last few three, four, five years. Sure, it just seems like that's right. But yeah, I mean again, chicago is a great. Again the thing with Chicago it's so much. The arrangements are fantastic, a lot of brass, a lot of horns, a lot of strings. It just sounds fantastic.
Matt Fox: 28:02
Yes, Thank you. I have to reminisce on that one, so I'm going to listen to that on my way home tonight. Yes, absolutely.
David Wright: 28:09
Yeah, so just as a heads up, they remade it later with a different singer than Peter Cetera, who was their lead singer, gotcha. So they did a remake, probably 10 or 20 years later. It's good, but it's not the same as the original. It's kind of like they polished it a little more. Oh yeah, they cleaned it up.
Matt Fox: 28:30
Do you know what I mean? They cleaned it up.
David Wright: 28:32
It wasn't as dirty as the earlier version. You have to have that pop. Yes, you have to have that pop. Yes, you got to have the pop. Yes, absolutely.
Matt Fox: 28:38
All right, so you ready for my next? I am, because there's so many to choose from. I know it's hard. All right, so I love going to see shows on Broadway. Yep, and I did write one down, but I'm going to change that, okay, because this one was amazing, however, the new version of moulin rouge yes, the entire show. Yes, all of the music. We're talking about music. It was pure. It was an entire show of mashups where, at some point you would hear, no doubt, david bowie and outcast at the same flipping time.
David Wright: 29:12
So let me ask this. I've seen the movie numerous times. I love the movie, right? Was it the same songs from the movie?
Matt Fox: 29:17
No, and the play Okay.
Announcer: 29:19
No.
David Wright: 29:19
Because in that one it was like Nirvana Madonna.
Announcer: 29:22
Yes.
Matt Fox: 29:23
It was that mashup of all this popular music. Yes, they updated the music. Okay, so you would hear. Like I said, you would hear David Bowie and Pink and you would hear Britney and they updated the music for the Broadway show Okay good, and I saw the original Broadway cast. Oh my God, it blew my mind. And it was the actually second show I've seen on Broadway. The first one was Wicked, a number of years ago.
Announcer: 29:49
Yes.
Matt Fox: 29:50
Didn't have the best experience, but this one just resonates with me because after the end of the first act I swear to God, david, I was in tears Because being a drama guy growing up I know what's going on behind the scenes and the costume change.
Matt Fox: 30:05
I know what's happening and for me to be just pulled into the music and the story. I already knew the story, but just to get pulled back into it in a different way with the music it was so good, it just made me feel like I was supposed to be there if you will. And, of course, my partner sitting next to me. At the end of the first act I got a couple of tears. She's like will you get a grip?
David Wright: 30:30
What the hell Stop your crying baby.
Matt Fox: 30:33
What was even better is her twin brothers right next to her doing the same thing. I am so she was like you both get a grip so much fun oh, oh shoot, I was looking for something.
David Wright: 30:43
I don't know what it is that's that's I don't know what you're talking about that's fine, yeah, it's okay thank you, thank you all right do we want to do, we want to uh, save these last few yes, this is what we're going to do, because because we, our lists are not even halfway done yet, so so we're going to carry on with this because we're having fun.
