But when they walked away from the car, they weren't on their phone, they were walking.
40:05
They walk a lot, but they don't do it until, like, around between midnight and 2:00 AM.
40:10
That's when they get out of their car when it's not hot, and they get out and they do their little walk.
40:16
And then during the day they just stay in their car, windows rolled down.
40:21
I mean, they sleep in there.
40:23
They basically have, um, like wipeys, you know, like bath wipeys? They, that's how they bathe, and then during the week.

They had to make decisions right then.

Belinda didn't write.

But oddly enough, the bass player that had come into the band to replace one of the girls at that point, she and a guy wrote mad about you and it was on a cassette just a random cassette and uh and charlotte who had written you know we got the beat and all she's a great songwriter great songwriter she had a couple of real good songs too but mad about you just was And when I played the cassette, I said, oh, this is the song.
12:26
This is the song.
12:27

12:28
