Vinnie: And I, I was like, I dont really want to read this cause it like intimidated because it was so long, but it was such a great story
Meg: It was so long? Are you, you, you're being sarcastic right now, right?
Nick: [Laughs]
Meg: Okay
Vinnie: No [Laughs]
Meg: I was like 'Are we thinking of the same book?' [laughs]
Vinnie: Okay, back to the story, Christmas morning
Meg: Back to the story, okay so, I got the karoke machine, Dia got the keyboard and umm, I tried to sing. I sang in a couple of places, I actually had a singing teacher be like, 'Uhhh, she [Dia] sings better than you.' So I was like okay, I'm gonna switch over to the instrument now. And I just started taking lessons and you know, most people have a hard time practicing, but I loved it ... for some reason.
Vinnie: *audio cuts in* ... you guys, your album came out in August
Meg: mmmhmm
Vinnie: What's that called? Something Real?
Meg: Something Real, because it's not fake, it's very real
[Nick laughs]
Vinnie: You can touch the cd ...
Meg: You can touch it, you can feel it
Vinnie: You can put it on your cd player, you can listen to it, yeah?
[Meg & Nick laugh]
Nick: And it's really us playing the instruments, not like, anyone else. That's a good thing
Vinnie: So tell us about you, I mean what? A mechanic and you ran into these girls?
Nick: Uhh, that's exactly right. I can't even believe it. [To Meg] You should tell the story [Meg laughs]... no ummm, Meg wrecked her car, she was going to school at the U[niversity] of U[tah] and I live in Utah. And my family has a body shop out there and she wrecked her car and brought it to me to have it fixed. And uh, that's how we met. I knew who she was and Dia came with her and I was like 'Oh it's Meg & Dia' and I was like 'Can I get a cd? I'm interested in playing with you guys' and they're like 'Yeah, if you buy it' [Vinnie & Meg laugh] And I was like 'Alright I'll buy it!' So I think I was the first person to buy one or something. But ...
Vinnie: Well, well Shouldn't he get like 'the first 100 people that bought one' get something ... extra? Oh, a part in the band, right?
Meg: Hey! [Laughs] yeah perfect! See what better prize than that?
Vinnie: Alright guys, well nice meeting you!
Meg: Nice meeting you too
Vinnie: See ya soon!
Nick: Thank you very much
