"It is a great story, and it is a funny story, and, you, it is kind of an unbelievable story, (right.) because it is really more about the relationships between the four people, and er, and you know the fact that, that we went from the studio (right.) to the Hollywood Bowl, I mean, (Amazing.) we never wait, that’s where we started our, that's the place of ....."
