Speaker 1: Speaking of people writing songs for other people, let me
0:03
Speaker 1: do something. I'm gonna go stab Blazer in the van
0:06
Speaker 1: Halen iye right now as he finds this out the
0:11
Speaker 1: song I'll Wait That was during the David Lee Roth era.
0:15
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with our wait Till the Sun Comes Down? No?
0:18
Speaker 2: And I'm glad of not. I mean I heard it.
0:20
Speaker 1: But I mean it's pretty good. So it was good
0:22
Speaker 1: van Halen song. But they got they got through the song,
0:25
Speaker 1: or about three quarters away through the song, and they
0:27
Speaker 1: couldn't finish it. They just they came. They had a block,
0:32
Speaker 1: a mental block, if you will, when it came to
0:34
Speaker 1: finishing the song I'll Wait. And so the the producer
0:40
Speaker 1: Ted Templeton said, I know a guy, and he calls
0:44
Speaker 1: in a guy who ends up writing pretty much like
0:48
Speaker 1: the last third of our Wait for van Halen. But
0:51
Speaker 1: he didn't get any credit for being a co writer
0:56
Speaker 1: on the song. However, as I understand it, the royalties
0:59
Speaker 1: he made from the song made him more money than
1:01
Speaker 1: any other song he'd written, so he was okay with it.
1:06
Speaker 1: He the most ununderstandable person in American popular music during
1:11
Speaker 1: my lifetime, but ridiculously successful. You know who that is
1:18
Speaker 1: Michael McDonald, Oh, from the Dewie Brothers. That's who they
1:22
Speaker 1: called in to finish writing. I'll wait for van Halen.
1:27
Speaker 1: I just I got music in my head right now
1:30
Speaker 1: because Blazer. Blame Blazer. While I'm thinking about van Halen.
1:34
Speaker 1: Sammy Hagar is going to play five dates in the UK.
1:37
Speaker 1: It's a big deal because he hasn't done it for
1:39
Speaker 1: like a quarter of a century, but he's going to
1:42
Speaker 1: go back and he says, this is it done, touring, done, concerting,
1:48
Speaker 1: finished with it, and he's going to do a deep
1:52
Speaker 1: dive into his van Halen era stuff.
1:54
Speaker 2: Oh that's exciting.
1:57
Speaker 1: Yes, it was forty five years ago. I believe to
2:00
Speaker 1: night if I'm not mistaken that the NBC television movie
2:05
Speaker 1: was Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Opera.
2:10
Speaker 2: Didn't I do a Christmas one?
2:13
Speaker 1: No, that was just made up that you're thinking of
2:15
Speaker 1: the Scooby Doo episode or the South Park episode.
2:17
Speaker 2: Where I don't know, I can't remember.
2:18
Speaker 1: Our family guy episode, Kiss Saves Christmas, That's what it was, Loish,
2:25
Speaker 1: I gotta watch Kiss Saves Christmas. Yeah, that was that's
2:30
Speaker 1: that was completely made up. That's awesome, Thank goodness for that.
2:35
Speaker 1: And I've had five messages now from people who wanted
2:38
Speaker 1: to say, you didn't take any phone calls when we
2:41
Speaker 1: were talking about what's her name again, the.
2:44
Speaker 2: The Good Jeans girl, Sidney Sweeney.
2:46
Speaker 1: Sidney Sweeney, Yeah, and her being approached about being a
2:50
Speaker 1: Bond girl. So Mark and I were kind of talking
2:53
Speaker 1: about the talking about, you know, the whole Bond theme
2:57
Speaker 1: song thing, and so people starting you didn't take any podcasts.
3:03
Speaker 1: My favorite is oh stop it, except for the two
3:07
Speaker 1: people who said live and let Die, which was probably
3:10
Speaker 1: the Bond song that I hate. Well, not quite as
3:13
Speaker 1: much as the Duran Durand song, but I hated that song.
3:17
Speaker 2: I've never actually watched an entire Bond movie.
3:20
Speaker 3: What I remember watching with my brother and my dad
3:23
Speaker 3: as a kid, but I I've never sat down and like,
3:25
Speaker 3: watched a Bond movie.
3:27
Speaker 1: That's crazy. You're nuts too, and I just I'll tell
3:33
Speaker 1: you what. There has not been a better all all
3:36
Speaker 1: around James Bond as far as I'm concerned, than Daniel Craig.
3:43
Speaker 1: He he was Bond, he did it beautifully.
3:47
Speaker 3: I started to watch one of his when the bad
3:49
Speaker 3: guy was the guy from a No Country from Old Men.
3:54
Speaker 2: I think it was quantumous Is that right, quantumus si?
3:57
Speaker 1: I don't know.
3:57
Speaker 2: I can't remember, but the beginning of it was good.
4:00
Speaker 1: But he was He was a wonderful Bond. I'm sorry
4:03
Speaker 1: that he has now left the franchise. I grew up
4:07
Speaker 1: with Roger Moore, and I really liked Roger Moore basically
4:12
Speaker 1: because of the sense of humor that he that he
4:16
Speaker 1: brought to the character. He was kind of a a
4:19
Speaker 1: clown Bond, which was cool, unlike the you know, Sean
4:25
Speaker 1: Connery who was just wanted to be thin and suave.
4:29
Speaker 1: Pierce Brosnan. I did not dislike, however, I just I
4:36
Speaker 1: felt like I was watching Remington Steel on a bigger screen.
4:42
Speaker 1: He just he never really caught on with me. And
4:47
Speaker 1: whoever the next woman is going to be to play
4:49
Speaker 1: James Bond, I don't know if I like or not.
4:52
Speaker 1: That's what they keep talking about, having a James having
4:58
Speaker 1: a woman James Bond, which is wrong. It's sacrilege. Shouldn't
5:03
Speaker 1: be done. I Ian Fleming wrote, James Bond, not Jane Bond.
5:08
Speaker 1: And I say this about the superheroes every time they
5:10
Speaker 1: want to make a superhero black instead of white, or
5:13
Speaker 1: gay instead of straight, or whatever, come up with something
5:18
Speaker 1: new and stop appropriating my stuff. You've already well Black
5:25
Speaker 1: Panther wasn't that pretty successful at the box office? Yeah,
5:29
Speaker 1: like a billion? Okay, So it's not like people who
5:31
Speaker 1: are into the comic books and the superheroes and stuff
5:34
Speaker 1: are gonna, oh no, I can't, I can't go because
5:38
Speaker 1: that's a black person.
5:39
Speaker 2: That was a huge movie.
5:40
Speaker 1: Okay, So they don't care. They just want the entertainment,
5:45
Speaker 1: they just want the action, and just come up with
5:48
Speaker 1: another Black Panther. Come up with another something. But stop
5:53
Speaker 1: this ridiculousness where you go, well, yeah, Superman needs to
5:55
Speaker 1: be black. It's time for a black Superman. No. First
6:00
Speaker 1: of all, I don't know if there were black people
6:02
Speaker 1: on Krypton because it had didn't have three sons. I
6:08
Speaker 1: don't know.
6:08
Speaker 2: I can't remember.
6:08
Speaker 1: I can't remember that. Yeah, I don't know, because everybody
6:14
Speaker 1: may have like no melan them because of that powerful son,
6:17
Speaker 1: the Krypton son happens, So there may not have been
6:21
Speaker 1: black people on his planet for all I know. Stop
6:23
Speaker 1: trying to change what has already been. And uh, and
6:28
Speaker 1: then there's always some you know, intellectual comic book PhD
6:31
Speaker 1: that because we were to the original intention of the
6:33
Speaker 1: Superman characters. Sit down, shut up.
6:36
Speaker 3: Man Comic book nerds are nerd. I'm a nerd about
6:38
Speaker 3: a lot of stuff or certain things, but Man comic book.
6:42
Speaker 1: And they talk like it's real stuff. Well, but you
6:46
Speaker 1: don't understand it's Collel's father, Jorel was actually a descendant
6:51
Speaker 1: of No, you don't know that. Stop making stuff up
6:56
Speaker 1: to fit your agenda. Speak about real craziness instead of
7:01
Speaker 1: fake craziness and leave mine alone. Get your own. I
7:07
Speaker 1: still can't get sugar Walls out of my head. I
7:11
Speaker 1: know it's funny, and it is funny, as much as
7:13
Speaker 1: I hate that song and is now just it's bouncing,
7:17
Speaker 1: it's bouncing around my head anyway. Yes, I will get
7:20
Speaker 1: onto stuff that is more.
7:21
Speaker 2: There's nothing more important.
7:24
Speaker 3: Why there's nothing more important out there than what we're
7:27
Speaker 3: talking about now.
7:28
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the police
7:30
Speaker 1: officer who is now a police officer again? Is that okay?
7:32
Speaker 1: Do I have your blessing to do that? I don't know.
7:35
Speaker 2: We'll see during the break.
7:37
Speaker 1: No, I want to know now because if it's if
7:38
Speaker 1: I don't have your blessing, I'm not going to do it. Seriously, yeah,
7:45
Speaker 1: I hate you so much.
