People who have taken early retirement or just stopped looking for work have caused the employment numbers to look better than they really are. This is also known as Shrinkage...Howie wondered how many people have given up.

Thanks Kelly -- just never really quick one to wanted to find out is there any truth to the rumours that Brian Wilson might be joining you guys do it again for the first time in a long time next year for the fiftieth anniversary. And secondly. I love the pet sounds box that the came out about fourteen years ago. Will we ever see a smile sessions box set of the great unreleased material.
About this smile thing I'm not sure I don't know. I have heard no. Talk about by Capitol Records who. Also masters on the as far as is Brian and joining us I have to. Not any specific conversations about touring the other but I have had this conversations. More than one. To retreat conversation that Brian. Regarding getting together and do something musical. Now he's been involved in doing. -- Gershwin project where he's finishing up a couple of Gershwin songs. And we've been touring and -- Bruce and I have been out there touring quite a bit and so but maybe towards this fall I'm hoping to find some time he was very. The upbeat about didn't sit do on the a musical project together.
Yeah and I have great a musical project or Beach Boys album. To quote the letter the Beach Boys album together yeah. I would be -- yeah. But I mean there's nothing concern is just talking this well we haven't sit dates -- studio time is there anything like that but has he got there heading the.
Has he got anything as even writing beach where you don't like those talked about JD Salinger was still writing all those years as Brian Wilson middle writing beach boy songs all these years.
I think we all else. You know Alan's been doing recording I've done yeah there you know I've got about eighteen songs and -- Canon. -- Bryant always is so musically is always at the piano -- You know yeah. So yeah I think we're all in this in our own ways you know still creative it's just we -- pun there right. The vehicle in time and place just to get together.
Thanks for the call Mike. -- your next with how we guard Michael up from the Beach Boys go ahead to --
We might get a good product does the Bloomberg -- stick card didn't suddenly when you're gonna revival and everything you've hacked up house. Yeah you can't get -- so affordable is ridiculous in the news stayed around that this indeed dead. And you thought that the people. I'm gonna go back universities in America here indoor tour perhaps like you did years ago because you've got a great product I think it's time us.
Yeah well you know I would look to led by mr. and universities and colleges stuff because. You know there's a lot of energy there and positive but he and I think. These days all the younger people have our songs and their iPods. So as far as time this is concerned -- a fourteen year old daughter who for years ago came home from school saying. They get my fourth grade classes favorite songs wouldn't it be nice. That came out on not on 51 dates the movie and more recently. The suits in the soundtrack. It's complicated let you know on Meryl Streep. College -- and Steve Martin sent classic movie and right smack dab in the -- would -- nice so you know the first movie don't -- to being in was shampoo is Warren Beatty back. And wow sixties and that's a long time ago -- time Alicea and so it's fantastic. The the appeal the beach was just so many generations from children to grandparents.
How you how do you do and -- the iPod so you get you get further royalty -- royalty on the iPod so it must keep some kind of serious track I mean how do you do versus The Beatles The Rolling Stones.
Well they. You know I I don't really know the answer to that specifically because I don't know what -- other people do and then but I'd. I do know that. You know that's that's a big big part of what's gone on -- you know for -- That Katy Perry saw I think it's sold a couple million downloads so -- per song California girls -- And so -- and that's been like -- number one song of the this summer so far first quite a few weeks.
are you way are you may -- are the Beach Boys make him more money now off of downloads and they are off of traditional lower after a quote unquote traditional CDs.
Not a 100% certain but I do know that are still are CDs sound this summer with thirty songs on the one CD yeah. First closing in on its its attention towards three million copies sold so that's pretty good. And I'm not sure how many it's sold are under the terms of downloads I think it downloads what happens is you have as CD thorn. Used to be an LT yeah and people would buy that now they'll be brought more selective like that's on the download a particular sites.
Why do you or do you may not know this what is your number once downloaded song that. You know I don't know I've blocked the bill that we give every Kokomo facility how to get there whatever else. -- good vibrations does not chopped liver -- you know --
That would be interesting to know -- that that site that I yeah I guess you're right Kokomo has got to be that you Kokomo must be number one because it's the most recent one right so you'd have.
That in it's just the biggest. Sing along we have on our show it -- we've got some big ones Barbara and help me Rhonda. You know people be doing stay inside outside your USA on the yeah back -- up on certain assay and and and fun -- there's some. Great sing along songs on our show but Kokomo is is a monster -- you know entire audience -- those things all of us.
Sam your next with how we guard Michael up from the Beach Boys go ahead see him.
It's an absolute pleasure it's not what you might -- chance this seat the good night's three times -- one week. In the mid seventies -- bridge loan Madison Square Garden. And Princeton University so I've been an absolute fanatic for years he gentlemen gentlemen Jim. She advocates that policy -- candidate very spirit. Could not get. Just record -- very -- Al Jardine. Getting back together with you guys contour and by the way are you last year at shell and the place was absolutely.
He not locating and that's those monster they the the stationary. Does that series every summer leases yeah yeah every area earlier they they invite us do that which is very cool. But -- this this year's us valley mentioned we're gonna be -- so sure about the Hyannis. And so that's what we're doing this summer. Do as far as sales surging -- question. You know anything's possible. We have not specifically. This vicinity dates or. Gotten together on any. It anything's. You know us that within the reunion type two. Touring get together which as I mentioned have only. Spoken to Brian and a few times about doing -- project together and I'm certain that wouldn't involve around.
Thanks for the coliseum Bob your next with Howie -- and Michael up from the Beach Boys go ahead Bob.
Mike how are you good. I had a sister -- just can't begin to tell you just how much of congress speak few. I think you know -- that you are excellent media let -- the general ledger like I got -- questions to ask you any musician myself. Well one thing that they're really young did sparked my interest is that. People that there's such as yourself that have been in this business social long time. And industries you guys are anxious law you if you blasted. Do you attribute the fact that music being done by cover bands. This is one thing out too long and that's. Most of the people that that keep your your music alive by playing -- clubs and things like that that is the reason like people come see you guys. That help.
Well I think it's more like the Beach -- The Beatles and Motown -- most perform musical genres. And oldies radio and every major city there is some polling station or at least -- program. Well -- a weekend or -- be every day of the week and so we're right up there in. In an air play and that and that -- number one number two just mentioned that. The Beach Boys music comes out on a major motion picture soundtrack or two. Every year I mean I remember this -- Happy feet does that animated film award Academy Award and had our son do it again and it's. And that was very cool so.
And about the every -- got a lot of that your your songs are a lot of commercials over the years.
Lot of commercials so between commercial CNN and rewrote his salute. Full house you know that the student Kokomo and backing up the Johnston Ramos on. Forever and and and some other things as well so you've got a lot of exposure to -- We have heard from people who have been -- down certain done. You know the bar scene -- saying and debt paid they didn't do many beach boy songs because of the harmonies involved so. I don't think that has much to do it -- Longevity are staying power current during qualities that the beach was gonna -- has more do with the other things that mention I think.
Facial facial -- call Bob gets easier to do Allman Brothers and the can bar room my guess.
Explore the stones. That. The Beatles you know there's there's just so many complex harmonies simple a lot of our strong.
next with how we guard -- clubs go ahead patty.
Yeah I don't want to say thank you so much to the Beach Boys because I am very very the very first slowed can't. Was cute in Cairo. That not import 65. And you round pick another sign that like for ever stayed. This me in a court I was so it should be displaced in any way back I just aren't the state house special that was in particular.

To my favorite song -- help me Rhonda. You know Nadia -- always has been. Was now determined. -- number Warren yet the it's like a lot of like a lot of them -- next with Howie Carr and Michael I'll go ahead bill.
Yet mr. love -- guys maybe -- out because. Get back together over all year tour again but collectible quick question what I know you wrote up. Helped up all the RB -- got back in the USSR. So what are you still stay in touch with them all I'll let other question. I -- any I got all mixed up with you may answer to navigate to -- can't sit there and not Yemeni police stories about.
Funny stories about Charles -- back.

It's pretty intense guy and and kind of freaky effective Bruce and I want ordered dinner then this -- house 111. Evening are invited ordered dinner and we're the only people's clothing on. So is little tee shot to death. Sees itself so -- we bailed on us and at least. Those are the ones. You know well the only amusing all right anyway. And the other thing is about Paul McCartney yeah he and I were in India Mauritius places the same time loans George and John Ringo came in was their first few days when he left. But I think his -- Thomas pregnant so he he wanted to get back to him all that but. The daily Paul came down the breakfast civil war mornings playing. As saying listen this -- from Miami beast the only -- didn't get to do you know that kind of think -- back in his sort of in this that the US sort of missed. Before he did the bridge -- civil what you gonna do is talk about that in the middle Dario talk about all the girls around Russia and Georgia on my mind in --
And you know you can what are Georgia on my mind that's that's well that's one of the best parts of the --
