You should, I hope that you enjoyed this podcast. Please give this a five-star review that will really help, help, help this podcast. And I hope you can go to my dad's show tonight. And then my dad's show soup that's coming up tomorrow night.
Because, because it's gonna be good. What's the same for this podcast? Yeah, it's good. Well, give me, okay, oh so guys, um, okay, I'm just gonna say it again.
Give me all your own questions. You saw your words, you saw your words. Is that good? That's great.
You saw your words, you know what? You're what? We were not gonna cut that part off. Heck no, thank you, Izzy Barlow.
Well, we're gonna just record a really short little Thursday night pod now. Thank you, dear. I'm gonna look at those headphones on. Hi.
Welcome to the show, dear, after your show. Here in Dayton, Ohio. Here we are, Dayton, Ohio, birthplace of Lewis Knox Barlow. 56-year-old man soon to be 57.
Not there yet. I believe it, the birthplace of Orville and Wilbur Wright. The Wright brothers? Yeah, the fathers of aviation.
Daddy's, Daddy's of flight. Take me to the air, dad. Ooh, it's late, you guys. Right, Patterson Air Force Base.
That's where the aliens are. BT Dubs. Let's go check them out. Yeah, that's the, uh, yep, they're here.
Do they have heads? The aliens? Yeah. Oh yeah, they're fully intact.
Okay. I don't know. Yeah. And also the birthplace of Robert Pollard.
That's right. Guided by voices duh. Possibly Kim Deal. I don't know if she was actually born here, but she lives here.
Oh, she does. Yeah, she's from here. Okay. Yep.
From the breeders. Yep. Noise. They covered the free pig.
Yeah, and then you mentioned that tonight, the show. That was really cool. What did? Yeah, you guys.
So Dayton really turned it up and turned it out. Was that right? They did. They showed up in force with their GBV shirts on.
Yeah, it was fun. What a nice place. It was called the barrel house in Dayton, Ohio. And I didn't know what to expect.
That's actually kind of like, I'm going to say, I actually kind of like that aspect of these tours is that I don't know what these places are going to be like at all when we show up. It's complete mystery to me, whereas like when I've been with you in the past on like a dino or a Saburo tour, even though I don't know what they're going to be, I know it's going to be a club. It's just going to be a club, you know, so it's like there's just going to be a lot of the same kind of shit. And this is so different when you do like a rogue kind of tour like this where you're doing house shows and museums and stuff.
That's actually kind of part of the excitement for me is seeing where the heck we're going to end up that night. I know. Do you like that too? I do.
Yeah. I do like it. I mean, you're the one performing. You guys just FYI, you might hear Izzy in the background.
She's interacting with her screen right now. Yeah. Okay. Well, another showdown.
Yeah. We're on like a 10-show streak here. Yeah, two more left, Columbus and then Pittsburgh. And then you guys, you remember when I got hives after Brooklyn?
I thought you were going to say remember when I got high. And I'm like, it's been a long time. Oh, yeah. It's been a real long time.
Yeah. It's like another lifetime ago. I know for our dedicated listeners, they know. They know I got hives after the Brooklyn show.
I'm worried that I'm going to get hives just by thinking about the fact that I got hives in a stressful drive. It's like, am I manifesting hives? I really hope not. Today you're like, was it today?
I think my head is itchy. Yesterday I felt itchy again. You guys, I was like, there's some skid on here in the car. I would just look at my face in the rear view.
Me or briefly, I would see this like little welt forming this like red itchy spot. I was like, oh, damn it. I think you've been a lot more relaxed. I have been.
Yeah. On these two legs. We had seven shows out to Wisconsin. Yeah, that's like a lifetime ago.
It does. It's so it's so amazing for me to share this with you and Izzy, because tours are like these little alternative lives that you live. And all these things occur. Oh, yeah.
And then, you know, I felt it a lot because we went to Chicago. We stayed with my friend, old friend Bob Weston. At the best Weston. The best Weston.
Thank you, Bob and Kerry. Oh my god. And, you know, and talking to them, it felt so familiar. And it was like touring when I was a kid.
You know, you'd stay with people and you'd get to know them over the course of a day. Only, I mean, you know, really not even 24 hours, but you would talk a lot. You'd have this whole like you would dip into somebody else's lives. Lives and, I don't know.
You could kind of bond it, actually. Yeah. I really kind of feeling it with you guys on this tour. That's nice.
Yeah. I think it's also interesting because, you know, because you've toured so much and usually Izzy and I are home for it. So like, this was actually kind of the most time you've spent with Izzy. You know what I mean?
Like really spent with her, you know? Yeah. Because you've traveled so much. And so I feel like it was really interesting for you to like kind of, I don't have to say like get to know her, but it is kind of like getting to know her, you know?
Yeah. For you. Yeah. No.
It's a little sad to think about. You know, that I can't, I don't have that kind of, I don't have that kind of sustained bonding time, or I haven't even with my, you know, with our other children. I haven't had that. I'm doing that right now.
Yeah. It's on this tour with Izzy. Well, you did have a nice tour with Hendrix, you know, what, last this February? Yeah.
Yeah. He's not so into the, I mean, the day to day that my shows are boring. It's hard for kids. I mean, it's not for kids.
It's not for kids, you know? Yeah. I mean, we were barla playing for two hours. Is he's, yeah, she's definitely ready to head home, go to camp, see her buddies, you know?
Her besties. Yeah. Get to see her besties, et cetera. But anyway, yeah.
So it's been, it's been a really special and unique summer and I'm really, you know, really grateful that we did this and I'm proud of us. And I hope I don't have hives. I don't think I do, but I'm not going to lie. Dear reader, I'm nervous about dear reader, dear listener.
Like that, dear reader. Dear reader. Um, this Sunday, if you're just in the world and you pause and because you are such a dedicated fan, you're like, gosh, I don't know what Del Barlow is doing her drive today from Pittsburgh to Greenfield, MA. Ah, just send me a little love because it's a long ass day and I actually don't like super long drive days like that.
I hate it. It's going to be great. Thank you, dear. I mean, you're going to have to do like half of it.
I'm going to drive. We're going to share that. Born to drive, baby. I've driven across this country so many times behind the wheel.
Yeah. I've driven from Atlanta to Northampton. Well, let's recap. What have we, what have we learned on this trip?
I would say 100% we've said it many times. We'll say it again. America's on the move. There are so many fucking people on the road.
You guys, it's, I'll stop saying you guys, you people and everyone, the world. Actually, you know what you say, you guys. Did I say it too much? No, I think I've, I'm coming.
I have some peace with the you guys. Okay. Because I was doing so conscious. I was like, because I'm tired.
I feel like I'm repeating myself. I've always wondered about like you guys because a lot of times when you say you guys, you're referring to also women as well. Right. Right.
But I've started to use it socially like a lot with like people in elevators because I want to make small talk with people in elevators because we, you know, I want to be the guy, I don't want to be like the overly friendly person. Yeah. I don't want to be like, you know, when people, I don't want to ask too many questions. I don't want to engage people too much, but I want to be friendly.
So you guys is a really nice blanket term. I thought that it was canceled now and I'm supposed to change it. I don't think it is canceled. Well, listeners, will you tell us, I can't remember.
Can you help me? Do I say, I don't, I shouldn't say it anymore. Should I say it anymore? I'm saying it.
Y'all. I just, I just had the, I had the thought the other day. Y'all is good. I like y'all.
Yeah. It's a really nice, just general. Hey, everyone of the world. Anyway, I, um, we've seen a lot of hotels.
We've seen a lot of things. Tonight though. People. Tonight though.
We are in my cousin, Karen. Karen and her husband, Rick. Yeah. This is like, they're so sweet.
What a soft. It's a soft landing tonight, folks. Um, Adele's reclined on a big puffy bed. It's got like a really thick, what are those things called the posters?
Is it right? Post posts for post bed. It's bad with these mighty wooden panels. Wooden spirals.
Uh, yeah. Feeling fans, a huge blow up bed for Izzy. They're just, you know, here's the word generous. They're so generous.
And I love seeing generosity and I love being reminded of generosity because I feel like every time, oh crap, I'm getting all emotional. I just feel like. You know, you're in the bosom of the bar of family. I really, really, really appreciate the generosity.
And I feel like, um, you know, we've had a lot of generosity on this tour and people have said such kind of things. And, um, so thank you to everyone who has been to the show, who also listens to the podcast. We really, really, really appreciate, um, you coming out and supporting us and stopping by and saying such things to us. It's really meant so much to us.
It's true. I'm glad we're here and take me because this is where I came as a kid, where I would go to these big gatherings of my family. And, uh, I have so many cousins here and to uncles. Yeah.
You know, I feel like we're surrounded by their love. I really do. You know, I mean, lose Aunt Jeannie came tonight to the show and she's frail, you guys, and going through medical stuff and, oh, just seeing her sit in that chair was really emotional. She showed up.
She showed up for me tonight. You know, it was wild because, I mean, she's been through a lot in the last couple of years. And my mother has been here. Yeah.
A lot of anticipation of, I mean, a lot of worry about her. A lot of worry. Yeah. She came through with a fucking walker tonight.
I know. And she sat down. She sat in this big chair. This place was awesome.
It was like the barrel house. It was just all these couches and chairs like that. Maybe they bought from thrift stores. I don't have a big cozy place.
It was so cozy. In the corner of this room with a big carpet. And it was so cool because it was sort of raised so people could stand and then also sit. And then, and Aunt Jeannie was there for like an hour and 10 minutes.
I know. She held out for about half. It was incredible. Yeah.
And then when she walked out, she left. I mean, you know, after an hour and a half, I'm like, okay, Aunt Jeannie's leaving. She left and I was like, goodbye Aunt Jeannie while I was playing. I mean, people clapped.
It was amazing. They clapped her out, everyone. It was so tender and just so sweet. And it just kind of felt like we were all in this like group moment that felt really special.
And it just felt like you really got the love tonight and dating. And so, dating. Oh my gosh. Shout out.
You are awesome. And everyone else is so excited to see you come back for the guided by voices. I know. And it's a number there just like over the moon.
And I love that enthusiasm and I love that pride. So yeah, it was cool. Yeah. Well, I suppose we have to hit the hay, huh?
Yeah. We were going to just do a really quick pod because as you know, since you're so dedicated, you're like, where the hell is my podcast today? It's Thursday night. Now it's actually Friday.
It's 12 o' five. Izzy, you want to say goodbye to everybody? Bye guys. Here's the mic.
Here's the mic. Here you go. She's there. I know we got to get the bad right.
Boy, boy, guys. She's using guy. Guys. Bye.
Bye. Bye. Y'all. All right.
Bye y'all. Can you see them out? Give me your y'all and precious. You're so serious.

Wait, wait a second. Wait, wait. Give me all your one. Wait a second.
Wait a second. Give me all your one. Child. Give me all your one.
Boy, your students. Is that? She's delirious. Wait a second.
Oh, there he is. Lou, you have to sing it with her. Give us all your one in questions. All words, all sounds.
Maybe we should stop thinking about how that we have one question. One question is a weird thing. Oh my gosh. We should play.
One time you should start all out doing a table with podcasts. Dun, dun, dun, dun, bye.
