Craig:Yeah, I scored that film and another film for Bruce McCulloch called Dog Park.
Terry: Dog Park.
Craig: Janeane Garafolo. And uh. I just keep getting, getting called up and it�s great.
Suzie: [incredulous and awed] You just keep getting called!
Terry: Is it because you�re *QUIRKY* ?
[TDM teasing]
Craig: I think I just sort of think the same way, and understand what they mean in musical terms and, uh - know how to stay out of the way.
Terry: You�re quirky.
Craig: I just know how to stay ou--there�s a lot more[laugh] going on in that little camp, so--
Terry: I notice that you chose not to act.
Craig: I do act in the uh,
[to camera]
...you�ll see in the pay-per-view special airing right now.
Terry: You do?
Craig: Well, yeah I�m sort of the glum, I�m the glum foil. You know, and uh the straight man - -
Terry: Okay, um �
Craig: ...as if they need one.
Suzie: Okay, now you�ve got a residency coming up or you�ve already started it at the Green Room, right? Tell us about that.
Craig: Yeah. The House Of Blues are trying to get something going there. Where people who are known for something come and do consecutive Tuesdays or Mondays� John Mann from Spirit of the West is doing February and then I�m gonna do�starting March 18th, do every Tuesday for four weeks.
Terry: With the Power Trio?
Craig: -- It�s kinda like going on the road at home.
Suzie: Love that.
Craig: With the Power Trio a bit, and I�ll switch it up � with a bit of Sharkskin which is ...instrumental --
Terry: Yeah. With some of the same guys?
Craig: Some of the same guys --
Terry: --Dressed up. You promised some trickery. What�s the trickery?
Craig: Uh. That you won�t even know it�s music.
Terry: Oh. It�s seamless.
Craig: Yeah. You just won�t even be thinking about it.
Terry: Hm.
Suzie: ...and Giddy Up...
Craig: It�s a pure entertainment product.
Terry: It is that.
Suzie: Pure product.
[Uh, yeah, way to hang in there Suzy. Sarcasm? My transcript, deal with it]
Craig[laugh]: Yeah.
Suzie: Giddy Up. Available now?
Craig: Yeah, yeah, it just came out on Wednesday. So. Rush down, and it might not be in the store but you might.. have to ask, for it again...
Terry: Will you tell them what that spa---
[Pulling at cord, ear device for monitoring you voice wrapped around Craig]
Craig: Oh (Geez? These? Unintelligible, all talking at once)
Suzie: Yeah, we gotta explain that!
Craig: Oh.
[Craig garbled, sounded like Jesus Christ thrown in there, and probably was, because Terry shot a quick look offstage a little stricken...it's a live broadcast thing]
Craig:These are little baby kangaroos that you stick in your ears.
[Suzie Wall giggles]
To hear nowadays, it�s a modern --
Terry: Is that to hear your vocals?
Craig: It is. Yeah. To hear your own voice. As if you can�t hear it...
Terry: Of course, yeah.
Craig: [Referring to old age to much older Mulligan, who chooses to ignore all age jokes that morning] We�re all..We�re all getting on...
Terry: Are there any...other than me talking about it...any thoughts about an Odds reunion of any type? Steven Drakes got his own career going...
Craig: Yeah, he�s a busy...producer guy. Well. Maybe one time.
Terry: If we all whined, would you come back?
Craig: Yeah, if everybody just *nnehhhyuhh* called me.
[screws up face like a two year old to the camera]
*Neeyuhhh*
Terry: Why did you leave ---
Craig: (unintelligible. Sounded like: I�m gonna cop for)... a holdout. [Still referring to previous question]
Terry: --in the first place?
Craig: Uh. Why did I leave...I guess ya just kinda know it�s time. Ya know. Being on a band agenda for so many years, it�s kinda hard on you. And you go: Oh well, it doesn�t hurt other people to do it on their own for a little awhile, so...
Suzie: How many years was it with The Odds?
Craig: Eleven? Something like that.
Terry: Yeah.
Craig: Ten or eleven.
Terry: That�s two years in rock �n roll.
Suzie: Yeah.
Craig: In dog years, yeah.
Suzie: -- a couple of years.
Craig: No, that�s about thirty years in rock �n roll.
Terry: It takes its� toll.
Craig: Yeah sure, ya just kinda go it�s time to try other things and...I dunno. We went out on a good note. It�s good.
[All expressionless answers on the topic. In contrast to...well, the next guy Terry talks to]
Terry: Alright. You have thirty seconds to talk about your hockey team. Anything you wanna say about the �Nucks?
Craig: I can�t say anything that hasn�t already been said I�m sure, in this length of time but...
Terry: Well you�re a passionate...
Craig: [Does a hang ten with hand pump to camera] Pretty bitchin�.
Terry: Isn�t it great?
Craig: Yeah, that�s a good �-
Terry: And then, so when there�s a Stanley Cup �-
Craig: Although apparently you�re not allowed to say anything bad about them anymore.
[Rolls eyes to someone off-screen]
Terry: That�s right.
Suzie: I�m all for that.
Terry: -- but that�s a whole �nother show.
