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?

The Script Enter Our

Yeah, we're very good. Sorry, I clean out my ears. No, we're very good.

Young Hollywood

I just wanted to make sure you were awake. That's all.

The Script Enter Our

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.

Young Hollywood

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?

Mark

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.

Young Hollywood

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.

Danny

Danny

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.

Young Hollywood

Danny

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

Young Hollywood

Like my intro.

Danny

Yeah, like wolves. They're that

Young Hollywood

scared me actually.

Danny

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.

Young Hollywood

You put the mini dog.

Danny

I have this little mini dog. I squished and killed Adele's dog there and then. I actually saved him from being eaten, so.
