  Speaker 3: show friend of ours that had him on many, many
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: times and say his story is just amazing role as
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: a guy who got off track and drugs and jail
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and crimes and all this sort of stuff. Cats obviously
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: lots of face tats. Found God, lost weight.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Became third of the size he used to be right now.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: Found God and lost weight related, I think Found God
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: became famous, saw himself on TV lost weight.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's it, I don't know, or.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Just coincidentally these drugs came along at the same time
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: that he got famous.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh, it's just reading about the g LP ones.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You got a year and you will gain it all.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Back even if you stay on them.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, I'm sorry obviously, yeah, if
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you get off of them.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: See, I just assumed you had to stay on them.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The way weight loss works, there's never gonna be a thing.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: There's never gonna be a thing unless it, like you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: as crisper technology, redoes your your genes.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, Well, anyway, where were we? I s Jelly role.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: So we talked to some about the Grammy Show during
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the radio show, partly because there were so many obnoxious
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: political statements from the soft headed music types, and why
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: don't we feature a couple of those? You want to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: go with the infamous Billie Eilish.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: First, no one is illegal on stolen land.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: And rapturous applause to that communist style, maoist style slogan.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Oh you cut off the end.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Good for you. I'm sorry.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't know you wanted a whole thing. Well, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: do not accept your apology. Let's hear Kailani, whoever that is.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: Everybody is so powerful in this room and in this
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: room later and together we're stronger in numbers to speak
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: against all the injustice going on in the world right now.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: So instead of letting it be just a couple of
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: you here and there, I hope everybody is inspired to
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: join together as a community of artists and speak out
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: against what's going on. And I'm gonna leave this and say, ice, God,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: dang it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: All this you are they all fifteen years old? Art
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: is so overrated by the artists.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Like art, I like literature, I like music, I like painting,
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I like this, but it's so overrated by the artists themselves.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And the impact you're having on society, you're just not.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Just not right. Yeah.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: I suppose it makes it easier to, you know, do
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: your thing if you think you're really taking on various
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: social injustices as opposed to And I was born with
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: this genetic ability to play the guitar or the piano,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and I practiced a lot. I came up with some
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: words and people kind of like it, and I made
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: some money without having to get a real job.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I wonder if this is the sort of thing that's well,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: obviously he got to heap and helping of it, maybe
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: more than anybody ever. But that made Bob Dylan say,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: would you stop it. I'm a guitar player. He might
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be a voice of anything.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: That might be why Bob Dylan is the way he is.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: He's like one of the few artists who fully recognizes
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: his impact.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Right and like he's embarrassed by the ridiculous accolade. Yes, yeah, yeah,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I'll bet that's it. I'll bet he's of the genetic
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: predisposition that all of us happen to be or learned.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know, that's like, it's embarrassing, it's just.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Oh so the Billie Eilish thing that got the most
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: attention that we played No No One is Legal on
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Stolen Land, I just saw it. I'd only heard it
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: because I only watched the musical stuff.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: During the Grammys. I don't watch the actual awards.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: The thing at the end was pretty cool they did
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in Ouzzie Osbourne song you had some of the guns
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: and roses dudes up there and everything.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: I thought that was cool.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: But uh so, Billy Eilish says, the No One's first
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: I'd just like to say no one is I legal
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: on stolen land in the crowd, sheees like crazy and
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: like two thirds of the people stand up and they
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: go to I think Sabrina Carpenter, one of your super
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: hot young blonde women with big blue Disney eyes that
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: looked like the and a creation, and she's got just
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: her eyes are welling up with tears and she has
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: this look of awe in her face. That Billie Eilish
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: said this in front of a crowd of people that
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: are also unrealistic and agree with you, And it's like, oh,
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: how dumb are you?
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: People? You're just so dumb, like low uninformed or low IQ.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know what it is, but you said that's
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: such a dumb freaking statement. If you want to get
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: up there and say I think Ice is going way
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: too far and we should not be whatever, that that
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: perfectly valid.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you say it at a music show,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: but at least you can. You've got it, are you?
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: But the whole no one's illegal unstolen land thing is
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: just for five year olds.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't embarrass yourself. I'm embarrassed for you. Yeah, it's childlike.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Eh, that's unbelievable. And the cheering, Ah, yeah, what was
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I gonna say?
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's something pumped in my hand.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: And like I, like I have said several times, I
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: can't believe that somebody at a high level with some
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: ravatas like Quincy Jones is dead now. But back in
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: the day, somebody high level in the music industry couldn't say. Look,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: I've been in music my whole life. I love music.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: We all love music. But this whole thing we've created
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: is getting smaller and less revenue as we talk more
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: and more about politics. I care about making music and
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: crafting melodies, and so do you. How about if we
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: stick with that, then we won't eliminate half the country
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: that now hates our guts and maybe throw.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: In a little bit, for instance, this issue. You've heard
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: this over and over again. Has anybody ever brought that
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: up to you? You know, there are plenty of really
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: smart people who believe this, And if you don't, you're
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: not even aware of that argument, are you? You haven't
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: even considered it, much less decided that it's a worse
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: argument than the argument you made. So you're really out
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of your depth. You're nice folks, you're gifted musicians, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you're kind of making a fool year.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: So I was just thinking, just appeal to their greed.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: We could all make so much more money. We've cut
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: off half of our potential market, like coming out here
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: and saying all these political things. Why would we want
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to do that. I want to sell records. You want
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: to sell records, right right?
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Ah. So which brings us to Jelly Roll, who was
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: asked by a reporter after the awards, Well, I think
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's all set up here.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: Would you be willing to comment on what's going on
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: in our country right now?
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I don't really, So this is the truth, and I'm
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: glad somebody asked because I love talking about this stuff
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: when people care to hear my opinion. But so I
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: can tell you that people shouldn't care to hear my opinion. Man,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: you know, I'm a dumb redneck. I haven't watched enough.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: I didn't have a phone for eighteen months. I've had
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: one for four months and don't have social media. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: hate to be the artist is static aloof but I
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: just I've come so disconnected from what's happening, and I'm
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: just not a I grew up in a house of
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: like insane pandemonium and like like I didn't even know
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: politics were real until I was in my mid twenties
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: in jail. Like that's how disc can when you grow
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: up in a drug addict household. Do you think we
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: like have common calls about what's happening in world politics?
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: Like we're just trying to find a way to survive. Man,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Interesting, Yeah, he's like I said, I've been told by
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: people who've interviewed him that he's a fascinating story and
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: could be you know, his big A deal. I don't know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: I might even already have a book out, but his
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: big A deal like just talking to various communities as
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: anything else.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, huh yeah, I get that these people feel something.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I just think it comes down to that the great
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: divide of people who they are governed by their emotions
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and those who have their emotions. As one of the
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: tools in the toolkit and the comparison I always come
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: up with is, you know, and you can pick whatever issue.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: You know, we've got to do something that.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but the proposal you've you know, come
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: up with that that would actually make it worse. Yeah,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but we've got to do something and just that emotion.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I'm feeling this emotion that we should do something, and
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I just and I don't want to hear what you're
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: saying because I'm feeling this and I trust my feelings
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: and you're messing with my feelings and all I'm like, yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: it's it's a pisser, ain't it. But we you know
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: that won't work.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: That's what I would have said if I went on
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: after Yeah, Billie Eilish last night, it's a pisser, isn't it.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: So anyway, so she dressed as a teenage girl who
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: isn't used to having breasts yet for a while, and
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: she wanted sex kit in for a minute. Now. It's
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: apparently some sort of quasi Pilgrim look or something puritan.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I don't dressed.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I was gonna grab the audio for the show, but
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: I didn't. So there was an awards show. I think
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: it was the Emmys back in the ninety and uh uh,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: you can find it on YouTube.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I've watched it before. It's pretty funny.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: So Norm MacDonald is a presenter presenter and he comes
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: out with a guy in full Indian outfit.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: Have you ever seen this?
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: In the big Giant long head dress and everything like that.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: And Norm McDonald comes to the microphone. He says, I'd
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: like to turn my time over to Chief Running Bear.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: And Chief Running Bear comes to the microphone and says,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: you're on land stolen from my people. You raped our women,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: you murdered our braves. And they go to the crowd
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: and like John Stewart and John Oliver and all these
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: people are just dying laughing. Wow, this really dry bit
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: that Norm McDonald's doing about them being on the land
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: that belonged to this Indian and he's talking about raping
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: the women and everything like that. She was in the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: nineties and now you fast forward a few years and
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: that's not a hilariously dry, avant garde Andy Kaufman type bit.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: You just say it with a straight face and everybody cheers.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: Isn't that interesting that it changed that much in a
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: couple of decads. It's from Obviously this would be hilarious
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: to say this, because it's ridiculous to take it completely seriously.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I blame the Internet.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: How did that happen?
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: The Internet?
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Billy I was going with some sort of sexy pilgrim thing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I don't know what is that? Oh, try that.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I want you to put on these buckled shoes.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: What I'm close. Say something about Thanksgiving, Call me thou
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: or refer to me as thou.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Would you, Why just just do it, just go with it.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it, thankfully,
