Joey Fatone

But it was smart because he was like, you know what?

obviously people same thing like if people love coca-cola the other people love pepsi but people do love both or they let you know you can have one or the other but there's always going to be that rivalry but it's always that why not make it that friendlier rivalry which it should have been but he kind of kept us away from each other not to say anything and i think though it was because of he was signed to one six member he was you know so he didn't want us talking business is what i think it really was

right yeah okay when when was the moment when you guys kind of finally started talking oh when we were there was money coming in and like one of the head guys of uh of the record company goes listen we're giving checks you know five million dollars and i'm here you get like 10 grand or 20 grand and this and that and you go yeah it doesn't sound like it's adding up right and we're selling t-shirts and we're

well, how come we never seen anything or seen a report or a number?

And then it starts to go away.

And we were very busy because we were hungry.

We wanted to do, and we were constantly, we were in Germany for about two and a half years where we first started doing stuff, just constantly working, doing the shows, tours, this, this, this, and not thinking about it because, you know,

Lou was taking care of everything.

And that's kind of where later on they were like, wait a minute, this money's going out and you're not getting any of that money or percentage.

I don't know what kind of contract they even said you guys signed, but maybe you should look into it.

And that's when we looked into it and was like, okay, we definitely need to do something about this.

yeah and i'm not i mean you've already asked it's been asked and answered um it's it's out now that i've been doing a couple of these interviews to be honest people are like well what did you say because there was a zoom call and and i gotta be honest it just the the hard part is is getting five guys together for sure and i even and i guess the best way to describe it for me too is is because people was like well it's just easy it's easy guys you just do it it's easy it sounds easy

But you got five individuals.

I have already had my children.

Like I said, one is 25.

The other one's 16.

The other one's almost halfway out the door.

I have a lot more freedom in the sense of the choices.

Like I said, I can make.

Lately, things have been just a lot more easier.
