So they got that far along with it.

Yeah, I was talking to someone about an ex-girlfriend of mine the other day and they said, well, I guess she missed out because she was with you sort of right before the K-Rock days.

And I said, no, she was around into the K-Rock days.

Like I got a year or so into K-Rock and I was getting on to, I think I was on Loveline for a month and a half and she bailed.

And I thought,

That's not a great calculated move.

I mean, I know I'm no catch, but what I'm saying is... Turns out she just really didn't like you.

Stuck around during the $285 a week teaching boxing, swinging a hammer life, living in shitty apartments, driving a pickup truck life, and now you don't want some free shit?

You don't want to go to the weenie roast?

Her loss.

So be it.

So those guys... So Delilah became a massive hit literally how long after they bailed?

So it was written and demoed and all that, but it just— Yeah, it was written in, like, what, 2002, 2003?

Mm-hmm.

And then it became a hit in 2007.

So, yeah, it was like four years later.

What took so long?

Well, we were on an indie label, so we recorded it for an indie record, put it out, toured our asses off living in a van for a couple years, built up a following, did a video for the song.

The song won an MTV U Award, which is like the college MTV.

And then we got signed to a major label because we sold like 70,000 albums on an indie.
