00:00Ryan, I know you said, though, that from when Ocean Avenue first came out, you felt instant
00:07pressure. And mental health, that must have taken just a toll on just the amount of, it felt like
00:11every direction was hitting you guys, going, we need more, we need better, we need bigger.
00:15And now, in 2025, I guess it all happened. We made it happen.
00:20You get better results when you know what mental health is. That helps to understand what it is.
00:26And when we were 23, 24, we didn't know what any of that was or why we were under the stress
00:32and anxiety we were. So I think we're just in a better place mentally, collectively. I think
00:39we have a very common goal and focus to be here for each other and our families and make the best
00:46music we can make for our fans. And it's not about us now. It's about us all together, you guys and
00:54us. And it's just a special time to be in this band.
