It's rock impressions number 23. It's Luna Bell's wedding anniversary. Let's talk about it. Let's talk about how it's the 26th episode.
I cannot believe he said that. He went quick on the 25th episode too. It was the 24th, I think, and he said it was the 25th. He's confused.
He's erratic. He's unpredictable. Is he trying to keep us scrambled? I feel like, you know, he's going to keep my brain scrambled.
Like, what is today? I don't know. I'm doing my best to make this a quality podcast full of factual information. I think a lot of people rely on podcasts for facts.
Yeah, they focus on information from experts. Yes. And that was a chump move. Again, two strikes buddy.
That's the second strike on the episode number. What will he do next time? Well, enough about that silly fellow. How about us?
Let's talk about us, you and me, baby. Our eighth wedding anniversary. Happy anniversary, Lewis Knox Barlow. Thank you, Adele.
Last name, I will not disclose. Lewis protecting my identity right now. Because I'm currently I'm walking around as a victim. I just found out I'm a victim of identity theft, for real.
It's an unfortunate thing to find out. And the thief, interestingly, you found out that thief is a casino owner. No, the thief said I was the you were a casino. Yeah.
Yeah. No, they said that was my occupation. Somebody and whoever you are, someone opened up a bank of America account in my name and said it was a casino owner. Okay.
Yeah, I hate gambling, by the way. So fuck you. And screw you for stealing my identity. And now I have a whole bunch of annoying flaming shit poops to just poops and hoops to start stomping on phone calls to make hanging out on hold.
Oh, yeah, explaining over and over and over again that I'm a victim of identity theft. And please help me and do not let other people open things in my name. Well, so yeah, I've got a kind of an annoying to do list. But hey, otherwise, let's celebrate.
So it's our wedding anniversary. Yes. And don't worry, we can't hide that information. That information already exists on the internet on lose Wikipedia page.
So I know what I'm scared about. What? I'm scared about people. I should maybe I shouldn't even suggest it.
Maybe they're listening. Maybe they subscribe and down. I think the AI, we're basically putting out examples of our voice, which can then be loaded into AI. But isn't the world just one big computer anyway, we're just walking around and God's computer and he's just building AI?
I don't know. So let's stop talking about that. And let's just special and a virtual song commencing in eight sweet notes. The song, you know what song is going to be?
I heard you practicing it. Damn, this is supposed to be a surprise. Oh, well, the whole completed thing will be a surprise. Making love to you was never second.
I saw the world crashing all around your face, never really knowing it was always a shame. Please, I stop the world. I'm not giving you. You've seen the difference and it's getting there all the time.
There's nothing and no wonder. I stop the world. People that love to turn, which never aims. I'm trapped in the state of the imaginary group.
I made a film called The Human's Race. I'm never comprehending the race. I'm on the other side. I saw the world.
I know. You've seen the difference and it's getting there all the time. There's nothing and no wonder. I'm starting to love you.
I love it. Great. Thank you for that. That song, I don't know.
I played that all day during our wedding. When we got married, that day we played not with you many times. Oh, it was so good. We played it like over and over.
After so we got married at home in the home we live in here in Greenfield, just the two of us with the justice of the piece, Kelly from the Town and Hall just a few blocks away. But it was just, I mean, I can't think of, oh no, I'm going to cry. Oh God, I can't. I don't know.
I did our own ceremony. It was just that we had just moved into this house that we live in and the rooms were all empty. But I set up like a little tripod with a camera on it so we could video. Yeah, we videoed it for our family, which we showed it to everyone after.
And that was really fun too. But we just really wanted the day to be just for us, you know, life. Yeah, we made Kelly take pictures of us too. Yeah.
Yeah. She came and she didn't, she had a few things to do. She really helped out. She was a good sport.
But I really, I was sitting here thinking, I don't know if there's, it's one of those rare days where I can say like nothing went wrong. It's true. How do you feel about that? Do you feel that?
I thought that was a perfect day. Yeah. I had rented a tux. Oh my God, Lou looked so cute.
From the bridal barn. The bridal barn. I almost used the effort. But maybe I'll try and keep the effort out of our anniversary.
The fucking bridal barn. The bridal barn in Deerfield. It's no longer their rip. Bridal barn.
The 5'10". It was kind of in a barn. It was literally in a barn. Yeah, I don't really like how, and I feel like it's mostly women's clothing ends up, like there's chains of sorts that are like dress barn.
You know, like we had a betting barn. We had a betting barn here in New England. Nothing. I'm putting barn on there.
This guy had a really, he talked really fast and he would be doing with, good betting barn. Oh, sorry. That was the end of the commercial. Everyone, he would just be like, he just rattling stuff off.
Like that was the commercial. Maybe it's a East Coast thing. It's like they just attach barn to things. Anyway, we're talking too much about the barn, but Lou rented a shoe barn.
Shoe barn. Shoe barn. Maybe it's not just women. It's everyone gets, gets barn.
Well, we also didn't have like a food barn or something like that. We did. It was discounted groceries at the food barn. Yeah, here in Greenfield.
That's also rip food barn. But yeah, Lou looked so insanely cute. He rented a tuxedo, which is, I think they mostly rented to kids like proms. It kind of looked at us like, okay, I definitely meant through a few proms.
I'm sure there was a lot of ghosts of proms past that I brought to the day, but they were good ghosts. Yeah, they, you know, yeah, it was cool. It was really cool. The Delaware lovely white dress.
I did. I got like a little white shirt dress from anthropology, not like a traditional wedding dress, but just like a little white dress. And yeah, and then I just did my hair and makeup. But we went to a little local florist and we even dumped flowers for ourselves.
You put flowers around our house and on our front porch, what's the real name of our front porch? We just found out it's called the Piazza. And so we found the blueprints for a house and it was labeled the Piazza. So that's what we're going to refer to it.
Yeah, it's funny. Like once Adele found out that it was the Piazza, she immediately cleaned the Piazza the next day. It motivated me. I was like before it was just our dilapidated front porch.
Seasonal debris everywhere. We had all of the stuff in our old minivan that we had moved out of the old minivan just sitting on the porch taking up real estate, old tissues, half eaten, energy bars, one of these water bottles, one of these, it is, and then mixed in with like leaves and the debris from this like very aggressive robin that was trying to build a nest above our door. And then these bees, these wood bees, anyway, it's really messy. But then when I saw, oh, it's this is the Piazza.
I was like, okay, I feel totally different about this space. I got to go clean up the Piazza. And I did. We need to find a fancy name for our back deck because it's, I'm ready to just take a sledgehammer.
Yeah. Although, then I, it would, it would, that would be bad. I know. That would be nothing to be gained from that because there's no way we could even get out of our house to the back.
If there's like a local, um, HGTV show in New England, where they're like, we do, Hey, come, please, you can come to England decks if you want. Who's the host? PBS, whatever. Please, please, please for the love of God, get us a new deck.
It's really bad. Um, so then yes, we got married at home and we videotaped it. We wrote our own vows. We made a little playlist for ourselves.
We cried. I'm gonna, I'm gonna, um, experiment here. You can tell me red or green as I proceed with this story. But when we did play the video of our wedding back to your parents.
Okay. That was funny. Are we, I was like, if you bring that up, you bring that up, sir. We're, you're in the dog house.
I can't believe I'm, I'm, I didn't get in the dog house. You actually forgave me for that. I did. Which was, uh, because when it happened, I had the thought.
I was like, this is the worst thing, glue that you possibly have. I literally have, okay, now I feel like it should be shared. It's probably one of the most, it's literally one of like the most embarrassing stories ever. And you know, people are like, I have these embarrassing stories in my God, he's truly, he's interrupting again.
Well, maybe I shouldn't tell my most embarrassing story. And this is actually not my most embarrassing story. Believe it or not. I think we should go through with this once.
I don't know what he's doing. Who would have done? I've made a platoon for you. Would you like me to whistle it for you?
I will. I guess he was just moved. Moved by a melody. It's a whistle of love.
I love whistle. Okay. Anyway, back to the story. I played.
Okay, so wait. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. So we have to back up.
So what happened is Lou and I, we recorded a practice, right, of us preparing and doing our vows so that we could see if the camera was set up properly, like, if it was far enough away, or like, if you could see us, I guess we'll be walking into the tripod. Tripad? Tripad? Yes, Tripad.
Welcome. So, okay, we were trying to make sure everything was correct for the viewing. And so while it was recording, I lifted up my shirt and I showed Lou, I exposed my breasts to Lou. Yeah.
Because, you know, you're whatever. Anyway, it was funny. It was funny. It was just funny.
So then that was on the recording in Whoops that somehow made it into the. I put it on the big screen. Literally, we have like an enormous TV, you guys. HDMI cable out of the laptop into the big screen.
I don't know if my dad had just given me his like, gargantuan TV. Yes, John Barlow had given us their old TV, which is so huge. Huge. And it's in our living room still.
And so. So I put on the video. So our family's gathered around. Everyone's got a TV.
Everyone says Lou. Hey, gather around. I love doing it slide shows. I love playing videos for the whole family.
Please, everyone gather around. First shot, your tits. And I was like, oh, I think your dad might have chuckled. Oh, God.
But it was like so embarrassing, you guys. I went upstairs and I thought I was going to die. I was like, well, you know what you did not do? This is what you did not do.
You didn't scream. I didn't. I said, I was like, how could you? How could you?
Because you, I mean, Dell is a very, very private person. Really. She's very private. And she's they wouldn't know that now.
Super very, very quality, classy person. And Dell full of humility. She is, you know, I appreciate that. But yes, she's not a Mardi Gras.
No, I'm not like, you know, I don't throw me the beads. I'm not going to flash in my tits. But you know, but it was just a funny moment for Lou and I. And well, it made it to family viewing.
There's another thing. I don't think we've ever mentioned it since it occurred. Because thank you for bringing it up. My third podcast.
It's such a good story. The good news is everyone, we're not breaking news to our family. They were there. They were there.
So anyway, yes. Not our whole family, not my family. They don't even know the story because we've never told it. They were there.
My family was there too. My family was there. The aunties were there. Oh, everyone was there.
You've just edited out parts in your mind, apparently. OK, so let's move on from my flashing. It was one of the most beautiful, magical days. And that flashing occurred after.
So a long time after. Wow, well, yeah, it's out there now. Anyway. Thank you for letting me share that, by the way.
Thank you. Best wife ever. That is allowing me to share that with our hundreds of listeners right now. Thank you for that.
Because it was a really good story. I've never told anyone that story since it happened. And you and I have not even gone back and revisited it ourselves. Mm-mm.
It's one of those that's just been kind of silently hovering in the air for the last eight years. I know I have half almost. Like sometimes when we do, are you and me occasionally do? I'm afraid that you might bring that up.
I'm like, because that's like you guys. It's grounds for some. Yeah. It's in your pocket.
What I did that day live on an infamy. Yes, yes. Truly, I'm the most forgiving, wonderful wife. So let's just a one.
Got her. But we, so yeah, I don't even know where to go now from there. Maybe you should just sing me a song because. Oh.
I could sing the song. I mean, hopefully he won't interrupt it. Oh, is he going to interrupt? Well, you better look at the screen.
Where do you go from there? I don't know. I mean, now everybody knows this story. I don't know.
So everyone will, you know, the few people in Greenfield who listen when they see me, they'll know this. I mean, it's just a body. I'm not ashamed of it, but anyway. So I wrote a song.
So this is kind of cool. Yes. I wrote this song on our first wedding anniversary to the day. So May 11th, one year after.
May 11th, 2016. Yeah, Izzy was like a month old. She was really little newborn. Your parents had come to visit and to help us out.
And I immediately, I was like, I got to write a song. I hadn't written any songs. And I wanted to go into the studio. And I'm like, this is it.
This is my opportunity. Well, you were working on your little EP, right? Your first song EP. Yeah, well, I decided to do the EP.
When then, because I was able to go to Justin's studio. Justin Pizzo for Roto. First I had to write the song. So I ran upstairs because they pretty much showed up on our wedding anniversary, I think.
Very, yeah, yeah. Yeah, really close. Went to the attic and I wrote a song that I wrote on the spot on the occasion of our first wedding anniversary. I never got enough, so had to move right in when you offered me your mind and skill.
Thought of all I missed it. Could have been like this gift. Better late than no, no. It's healing time again.
I'm feeling fine to get to the world again. It's healing time again. It's healing time. Hey, hey, give me some away.
It's been until I'm waiting on arms. With your heart out. All that it's about, everything we've waited for. Hey, hey, give me some away.
It's been until I'm waiting. It's just a cancer world girl. Had to break that cycle. Had to find out only the brass dust.
We just moved faster. Had to make them break to me. It's healing time again. I'm feeling fine to get to the world again.
It's healing time again. It's healing time. Hey, hey, give me some away. It's been until I'm waiting on arms.
With your heart out. All that it's about, everything we've waited for. Hey, hey, give me some away. It's been until I'm waiting.
Now we're here, here. It's been a good year. I do it all. Give me what I don't have to.
Just have to ask you. Thank God you love me. It's healing time. The brass.
He loves me. It's healing time. It's healing time. It's healing time.
Healing time. Healing time. Healing time. Anniversary time.
What was the name of the ooh? Yeah. Throw in my guitars around. What was the name of the EP that was on?
Apocalypse fetish. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So if you want to go find that, I don't know, we could put a link or something.
Released in 2016 on Joyful Noise Recordings. Yeah. Apocalypse fetish. I believe the five song EP.
Yeah. Composed entirely upon a baritone ukulele, which is not what I just played. Right. Yeah, I'm changing some of those songs into this big guitar.
It sounds like I'm really into it. Oh, cool. Yeah, they're like, they're taking them from the ukulele and expanding them into a bigger sound, I believe. Uh-huh.
Switch up, baby. Yeah. I've been playing for a while. Mm-hmm.
I like that. Sort of an idea for the new tour coming up. Mm-hmm. You know?
You can't move my mic up. My mouth. Yeah, I'm gonna move your mic up right to those sweet lips, baby. Oh, yeah.
Still like kissing them. Eight years of kissing. Woo. Well, that's a beautiful way to end this special.
Oh, you're special. Special. 26th. Mm-hmm.
26th. Mm-hmm. Episode. Well, happy anniversary, hon.
I love you. I love you too. And thank you to everyone who's listening to us. Talk to each other this way.
Oh. I hope it doesn't make anyone feel uncomfortable. Ugh. Deeply sorry if it does.
And thank you if you stay. Mm-hmm. I'll stop the world. I'll stop the world.
I'm with you. Let's stop the world. I've seen some changes, but it's getting better all the time. That's nothing new.
I'm now... ...
