- 2:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:23SPEAKER_04: So, how you been?
- 2:26SPEAKER_02: Oh, pretty good, you?
- 2:27SPEAKER_04: I'm alright.
- 2:28SPEAKER_02: I say your uh second oldest is back in town.
- 2:31SPEAKER_05: Yes, my second oldest uh Jude came back from college for the summer, uh looking for a summer job, and um sleeping on the couch.
- 2:39SPEAKER_03: You sleeping on the couch?
- 2:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know why?
- 2:41SPEAKER_03: Why?
- 2:42SPEAKER_05: Well, because um we live in a three-bedroom ranch, and there was at one time seven of us.
- 2:48SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 2:49SPEAKER_05: Um the girls shared a bedroom, and the three boys shared a bedroom.
- 2:54SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 2:55SPEAKER_05: Bunk beds and a trundle bed.
- 2:56SPEAKER_05: And so when Jude well, and my oldest moved out, she lives down in West Virginia now.
- 3:01SPEAKER_05: Um yeah, West Virginia.
- 3:02SPEAKER_05: And um so Jude went to college and it was just the other two boys in the bedroom.
- 3:09SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 3:10SPEAKER_05: Well actually technically, Jude should be sleeping in the bunk bed, and Eli should be sleeping on the couch because Eli is too tall for his bed.
- 3:23SPEAKER_05: My eighth grader is almost six three.
- 3:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 3:26SPEAKER_05: Um, and so he's he has a hard time sleeping in the bunk bed.
- 3:30SPEAKER_05: But Jude's been sleeping on the couch for the past couple of days, but he is um gonna be living in an apartment.
- 3:36SPEAKER_05: Uh we have a famil uh we have a um uh a house that's well it's not I guess it's not a house.
- 3:43SPEAKER_05: It's an apartment that's in the family.
- 3:45SPEAKER_05: Uh it's being painted right now, and he's gonna live there for the summer.
- 3:49SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's cool.
- 3:49SPEAKER_05: Uh once we get once we get it all situated.
- 3:52SPEAKER_05: Um why do I feel like I'm not as loud as you?
- 3:55SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: Turn yourself up.
- 3:59SPEAKER_02: Turn it over.
- 4:00SPEAKER_03: Oh, well, that's not the right button.
- 4:02SPEAKER_03: That's not the right button.
- 4:03SPEAKER_03: That's not the right.
- 4:04SPEAKER_03: I guess it's okay.
- 4:05SPEAKER_03: I guess it's okay.
- 4:08SPEAKER_05: Just sounds weird.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:10SPEAKER_05: Um I cause I can hear you better than I can hear me.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I can hear me better too.

- 4:20SPEAKER_05: Uh and so how do you like the new digs?
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: I like it.
- 4:23SPEAKER_02: It it's it's it's it's hard to talk to you because you're over here now.
- 4:27SPEAKER_05: Yeah.

- 4:42SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 4:42SPEAKER_02: And O'Brien and Doug.
- 4:44SPEAKER_02: See what I did there?
- 4:45SPEAKER_05: I see that.
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:46SPEAKER_05: So but I I wanted to, you know, like I I like to switch everything up for each season.
- 4:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:52SPEAKER_05: Like the color scheme on the on the on the Facebook, on the social media, it's different.
- 4:56SPEAKER_05: Different color scheme.
- 4:58SPEAKER_05: You know, you the music.
- 5:00SPEAKER_05: Well, the music, the music bed will be the same, uh, but some of the stuff will will be a little bit different.
- 5:05SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 5:06SPEAKER_05: But you know, I just like to I don't want people to hear get to get bored.
- 5:09SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, and that and I can now I can see what the notes on the guitar are.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: That's a mandolin.
- 5:16SPEAKER_02: Mandolin chords over here, so you know I'm I'm learning as I sit here.
- 5:20SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 5:20SPEAKER_02: So I'll be like, oh.
- 5:22SPEAKER_02: So now when we play, you'd be like, uh, you got you're not supposed to play a beater.
- 5:26SPEAKER_05: This isn't just this isn't just for um us either.
- 5:30SPEAKER_05: This is like like if I come down to do music, I can I can sit where you're sitting and and play guitar and sure.
- 5:38SPEAKER_05: So it's uh it's it's just more conducive to that.
- 5:40SPEAKER_05: And I wanted to bring um I had my record player and my records in the back there.
- 5:45SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 5:45SPEAKER_05: They were not getting used.

- 11:28SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 11:28SPEAKER_02: And it's really fun to watch him do this stuff.

- 11:41SPEAKER_02: You know, it's it's him and Oz.
- 11:43SPEAKER_02: So I was like, oh, you know, I've always wondered who who's who's doing what.
- 11:47SPEAKER_02: So I put in the chat, I was like, uh, which solo is yours and which one's Oz?
- 11:50SPEAKER_02: And I, you know, hit it.
- 11:51SPEAKER_02: And I was like, ah, he'll never do anything.
- 11:53SPEAKER_02: Right.

- 11:55SPEAKER_02: So I so I hit enter and I'm watching him the whole time he's like, he's like head, you know, he's banging his head and he's looking at his screen, and all of a sudden he stops and he and he leans into his screen like he's he's really trying to lean something.
- 12:07SPEAKER_02: Reaches over, you can see him reach over and he shuts the music off.
- 12:11SPEAKER_02: I'm like, what is he doing?
- 12:12SPEAKER_02: He's like, Oh, somebody just asked a great question.
- 12:15SPEAKER_02: Uh, which solo is mine and which one's Oz's?
- 12:18SPEAKER_02: And I immediately start freaking out.
- 12:19SPEAKER_09: I was like, that's my question.
- 12:21SPEAKER_09: That was my question.
- 12:22SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 12:23SPEAKER_02: He's like, Yeah, so it's me, then it's Oz, then it's me, and then Oz.
- 12:27SPEAKER_02: See, and he's like, Okay, so let me play it back.
- 12:30SPEAKER_02: So he rewinds it, plays it back, and then he goes, so it's a plan, and you can see him mouthing the words, this is me.
- 12:37SPEAKER_02: So he's like air air guitaring to this his solo.
- 12:40SPEAKER_02: Then Oz comes on, he goes, Oz, starts air air str you know, air guitaring to that.
- 12:45SPEAKER_02: Then he goes, me.
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: Ah, and then Oz like that.
- 12:50SPEAKER_02: So then he plays the rest of the song.
- 12:52SPEAKER_02: Okay, the song's done.
- 12:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so when I solo, I write my solos, blah blah blah, and then Oz writes his solos, blah, blah, blah.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: And he started going on about his solos.
- 13:00SPEAKER_02: And I was like, wow, that's so cool.
- 13:04SPEAKER_02: That was all because of me.
- 13:05SPEAKER_02: That whole that whole conversation was because of you.
- 13:08SPEAKER_02: Because of me, you know, you didn't say my name or anything, but it was like that was my question, and then he just went off on it.
- 13:13SPEAKER_02: But the the interesting was, thing was, like I said, he stopped the song, rewound it, and then played it again.
- 13:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he didn't do that for anybody else.
- 13:22SPEAKER_05: Just that question.

- 17:17SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:17SPEAKER_05: Um so I was having a conversation with our friend Chris Morton.

- 17:36SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:36SPEAKER_05: And doesn't get to play a lot of the stuff because the Star City Syndicate has its own audience.
- 17:42SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:42SPEAKER_05: And there's some songs that John wants to play that um we really can't because uh the crowd wouldn't get it.
- 17:51SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:52SPEAKER_05: Um I think of all the dead girls.
- 17:54SPEAKER_02: I was gonna say all the dead girls comes to mind.
- 17:55SPEAKER_05: Right.

- 18:15SPEAKER_05: And um and he loves playing that type of stuff.
- 18:18SPEAKER_05: And so I'm talking to Chris and I said, Well, you know, if he wants to jam that stuff sometime, I'd be willing just to play guitar and you guys can, you know, whatever.
- 18:26SPEAKER_05: We can just get together and and play that stuff.
- 18:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 18:28SPEAKER_05: So he's like, Oh, that's good that's a great idea.

- 19:01SPEAKER_05: I was like, Do I prepare I didn't come prepared, you know, because I was thinking Foo Fighters, and you know, and they're like, We're kind of hoping that we could work on your solo album.
- 19:10SPEAKER_05: So it was a trick.
- 19:11SPEAKER_05: Ah, okay.

- 23:13SPEAKER_05: Um and it's different.
- 23:16SPEAKER_05: It's it's I mean it's easily recognizable as the chili peppers.
- 23:20SPEAKER_05: Sure.
- 23:21SPEAKER_05: But it's different.
- 23:22SPEAKER_05: And I'm trying to he told John's like, if you want to uh sample the new uh uh the new Red Hot Chili Peppers album, go start with this song, and I can't remember what song it was.
- 23:31SPEAKER_05: But the the album is called Unlimited Love.

- 25:15SPEAKER_02: He was listening to our podcast.
- 25:17SPEAKER_05: It wasn't one of my kids, it wasn't one of your kids.
- 25:20SPEAKER_02: Because that was gonna be my first question, and she immediately was like, and it's not who you think it is.
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Wow, that's really cool.
- 25:28SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 25:29SPEAKER_05: You know, I it's gotta be well, I was gonna say it's gotta be Finn that has turned people on to it because he's he's turning into a regular uh marketer.
- 25:37SPEAKER_02: Well the dude has his own t-shirt with his face on.
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: He sold more today.
- 25:43SPEAKER_05: Here's the thing.
- 25:45SPEAKER_05: So it was a it was a bit for uh like come some some sort of winter carnival thing.

- 25:50SPEAKER_05: He's like, Oh, well, we should have my face on a t-shirt, hashtag finface.
- 25:54SPEAKER_05: And everybody laughed, and he's like, No, I'm serious.
- 25:58SPEAKER_05: And so they did it, and and he sold some.
- 26:01SPEAKER_05: And um we went to this is so funny.
- 26:06SPEAKER_05: They had the all-arous uh band competition, or not competition, but concert.
- 26:10SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 26:11SPEAKER_05: Um last Saturday.
- 26:12SPEAKER_05: So we went to the concert, the con they they they go there in the morning and they they play music with um student artists, student musicians from around Aroustic County uh for a few hours.
- 26:23SPEAKER_05: Normally it's a two-day thing, but they only did it in one day.
- 26:25SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 26:25SPEAKER_05: And so for a few hours and they learn like three pieces of music uh a middle school band and a high school band.
- 26:31SPEAKER_05: And then they have a performance at two o'clock.
- 26:34SPEAKER_05: So we went to the performance at two o'clock, and we're where was it there?
- 26:38SPEAKER_05: This is the high school, Prescott High School.
- 26:39SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 26:40SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 26:41SPEAKER_05: Um and so we're watching uh the performance of the middle school, and then they finished and they did really good.
- 26:48SPEAKER_05: Actually, both both the middle school and the high school did great jobs.
- 26:51SPEAKER_05: And so the middle school band w when they're transitioning to do the high school, they go and they go sit on the bleachers and we we can see all of them.
- 26:59SPEAKER_05: So I see of course my my oldest son is the tallest one, and he's sticking out where it is.
- 27:05SPEAKER_05: And so it wasn't normally it's a it's a um uh white shirt, black pants thing.
- 27:11SPEAKER_05: Right, you know, but and there were some that were like that, but they were like, just be comfortable, just don't wear rib jeans and stuff, you know, you can wear whatever you want to wear, just don't you know?
- 27:20SPEAKER_05: And I'm looking and I'm like, that girl in the front row on those bleachers.
- 27:26SPEAKER_05: Is she wearing a fin face shirt?
- 27:31SPEAKER_05: And we're like, yes, she is.

- 33:23SPEAKER_02: Oh, for sure.
- 33:24SPEAKER_02: But this one seems different than the ones in the past.
- 33:27SPEAKER_02: It's just I think it's just them maturing and it's a little more mellow.
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's very mellow compared to you know the past.
- 33:34SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's still funky and and but it is it is it's it's it's uh it's a funk like uh you know George Clinton funk.
- 33:44SPEAKER_02: You know, there it's it's like it's like taking that and you know bringing that into the new the new time, you know, into present time.
- 33:55SPEAKER_02: Right.

- 35:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 35:39SPEAKER_05: Okay, now in their defense, Rock Believer is not the first track from the new album.

- 36:31SPEAKER_05: If any broke, don't fix it.
- 36:32SPEAKER_02: No, that's it.
- 36:33SPEAKER_02: I mean that's uh that's classic uh Scorpion's formula formulaic uh album magic.
- 36:39SPEAKER_05: It is, you know, so I'll just play a couple more here.
- 36:57SPEAKER_05: And they all all all the Scorpions albums always have like a rock ballad.
- 37:06SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 37:07SPEAKER_05: This one's called When You Know Where You Come From.
- 37:09SPEAKER_05: My House.

- 37:16SPEAKER_10: With your head up in the clouds to try to win the race.
- 37:22SPEAKER_05: This one has 11 songs.
- 37:24SPEAKER_05: But I mean, they're really old.
- 37:29SPEAKER_05: You know, they were gonna retire.
- 37:31SPEAKER_05: Or they did retire.
- 37:32SPEAKER_05: And then they came out of retirement.
- 37:34SPEAKER_02: They probably just got bored.
- 37:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm sure they did.
- 37:37SPEAKER_02: The either got bored or they got broke.
- 37:38SPEAKER_05: Or they had more gas in the tank.
- 37:41SPEAKER_05: There you go.
- 37:45SPEAKER_05: I just want to get to the chorus of this one, then we'll move on.
- 37:49SPEAKER_10: Cross the line once again well, my friend.
- 38:01SPEAKER_10: Cause there will always be a second chance.
- 38:08SPEAKER_09: Where you know, where you come from you know, where you come just because again, distinctive time.

- 38:53SPEAKER_05: Uh, and then Call of the Wild, and then this one when you know where you come from.
- 38:57SPEAKER_05: Well, let me double check here.
- 38:59SPEAKER_05: This is Seventh Sun.
- 39:03SPEAKER_05: I don't think that's Iron Man.
- 39:05SPEAKER_05: No, I don't think so.
- 39:05SPEAKER_05: No.
- 39:06SPEAKER_05: It's kind of cool.
- 39:20SPEAKER_05: So yeah, I think it's I think it's in stereo, I think it's a guitar part.
- 39:23SPEAKER_05: You just can't hear it.
- 39:31SPEAKER_05: Anyway, yeah.
- 39:32SPEAKER_05: Uh so the new Scorpion's album is called Rock Uh Believer.

- 39:49SPEAKER_02: I expect nothing less from you.
- 39:51SPEAKER_05: I'm excited to to to see uh what that sounds like.
- 39:54SPEAKER_05: I mean, I've already heard a couple songs and they're pretty great.
- 39:57SPEAKER_05: It's Def Leopard, yeah.
- 39:58SPEAKER_05: It's Def Leopard.
- 39:59SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, that's you know, Def Leopard's put out a couple of stinkers.
- 40:02SPEAKER_05: Well, yeah.
- 40:03SPEAKER_05: Um not many.
- 40:04SPEAKER_05: Not many.
- 40:04SPEAKER_05: No.
- 40:05SPEAKER_05: No, not many.
- 40:06SPEAKER_02: Usually I mean, it's usually, I mean, it's like it's like going to McDonald's, you know.
- 40:11SPEAKER_02: You're not gonna pay a lot for it, but you're gonna get a pretty good meal.
- 40:15SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 40:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I guess so.
- 40:17SPEAKER_02: That's one way to look at it.
- 40:18SPEAKER_02: Sometimes you find a feather in your chicken nugget.
- 40:21SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 40:22SPEAKER_02: They're not perfect.
- 40:23SPEAKER_02: They're humans.
- 40:24SPEAKER_05: Speaking of feathers, um, why do did you know why why ducks have tail feathers?
- 40:31SPEAKER_05: No.
- 40:40SPEAKER_02: Why do I come in?
- 40:45SPEAKER_05: Uh it's on that note, we're gonna uh Oh, let's do the um um the alphabet.
- 40:53SPEAKER_05: Yes, yes.
- 40:54SPEAKER_05: What did we leave off on?
- 40:55SPEAKER_05: Uh E.
- 40:56SPEAKER_05: Uh so this is so the letter of the day is E?
- 40:58SPEAKER_02: No, we left off on E, so we So we already did E.
- 41:01SPEAKER_02: We already did E.
- 41:02SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 41:02SPEAKER_02: So we gotta go to F.
- 41:04SPEAKER_05: Oh, this'll be a fun one.
- 41:05SPEAKER_02: This is gonna be the F word.
- 41:07SPEAKER_05: Okay, so what we're doing is we're the the letter of the day is from the Guitar Legend Alphabet and the Drum Legend Alphabet by Beck Finer.
- 41:15SPEAKER_02: We did it.
- 41:15SPEAKER_02: We did it in alphabetic order.
- 41:17SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 41:22SPEAKER_05: So I'm so smart.
- 41:24SPEAKER_05: The the letter of the day is F.
- 41:27SPEAKER_05: And in the Guitar Legend Alphabet, F is for Frank Zappa.
- 41:32SPEAKER_05: Quirky, avant-garde, and as hilarious as he was brilliant, Zappa established himself as a truly unique artist over a 38-year career.
- 41:40SPEAKER_05: His ability to write odd, jumpy solos, play unusual rhythms, and even compose entire symphonies saw him inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995.
- 41:51SPEAKER_05: Now, Steve Vi played with Frank Zappa.
- 41:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I didn't know that until I watched that documentary on uh Frank Zappa.
- 41:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 41:59SPEAKER_05: Uh I was surprised.
- 42:01SPEAKER_02: I was like, no freaking way.
- 42:03SPEAKER_02: But it explains a lot about Steve Vi.
- 42:04SPEAKER_05: It really does.
- 42:05SPEAKER_05: I mean, because he's an uh just an amazing, he's like a he and Joe Satriani.
- 42:11SPEAKER_05: Well, Joe Satriani taught Steve Vai.
- 42:14unknown: Yes.
- 42:15SPEAKER_05: Was it?
- 42:15SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 42:16SPEAKER_05: He also taught Kurt.
- 42:17SPEAKER_05: Kurt Hammett, yeah.
- 42:18SPEAKER_05: And another and somebody else too.
- 42:19SPEAKER_02: But yeah, he Well the dude from uh uh I don't want to say testament.
- 42:24SPEAKER_02: There was another oh wasn't it no I can't I can't remember who he was.
- 42:29SPEAKER_05: Uh but he did, he taught he gave Steve Vai guitar lessons.
- 42:32SPEAKER_05: But st you know, those are those are the guys that eat, sleep, and breathe guitar and and they know I mean it backwards and forwards, inside and out, and it and and not only just guitar but music in itself.
- 42:44SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
- 42:45SPEAKER_05: And you would have to be like that if you're working with Frank Zappa because he was weird, but he was a genius.
- 42:50SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
- 42:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he was a musical genius.
- 42:53SPEAKER_05: Musical genius.
- 42:54SPEAKER_05: So Frank Zappa is the uh artist for the guitar legends alphabet.
- 42:59SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 42:59SPEAKER_02: F in the drum legends alphabet.
- 43:02SPEAKER_02: F is for Mick Fleetwood.
- 43:05SPEAKER_02: Whoa.
- 43:06SPEAKER_02: I know, right?
- 43:07SPEAKER_02: It's kind of a cool picture.
- 43:08SPEAKER_05: I was just thinking of the pairing there, but go ahead.
- 43:10SPEAKER_02: I know, right?
- 43:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 43:11SPEAKER_02: Uh despite being the namesake of classic rocker's Fleetwood Mac, Mick's style was never over the top or showy.
- 43:18SPEAKER_02: Instead, he played with a perfect timekeeping and a subtlety that let the big personality shine.
- 43:24SPEAKER_02: Fans will always remember his work in Tusk.
- 43:28SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 43:29SPEAKER_02: I guess that's what the book says.
- 43:32SPEAKER_02: Of course, this is uh Beck Feiner's uh his opinion.
- 43:36SPEAKER_02: His opinion.
- 43:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 43:37SPEAKER_05: So Frank Zappa and Mick Fleetwood, I don't think would work.
- 43:41SPEAKER_05: No.
- 43:42SPEAKER_05: Only because Mick Fleetwood is an in the pocket drummer.
- 43:47SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 43:47SPEAKER_05: Um and Frank Zappa is all over the place.
- 43:54SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 43:54SPEAKER_05: Not saying that Mick Fleetwood couldn't do it.
- 43:56SPEAKER_05: I just he could.
- 43:58SPEAKER_05: I just don't think it would be
- 44:00SPEAKER_02: Just not would not would not be a dream pairing.
- 44:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 44:02SPEAKER_02: So I don't think it would work.
- 44:04SPEAKER_04: No.
- 44:04SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: But you know, it's kind of cool to think about.
- 44:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 44:07SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 44:09SPEAKER_02: So there we go.
- 44:12SPEAKER_05: The music.
- 44:13SPEAKER_05: There we go.
- 44:14SPEAKER_05: That is the uh letter of the day.
- 44:15SPEAKER_05: Letter F.
- 44:16SPEAKER_05: And then we're gonna take a break right now and come back with the uh wall of tunes.

- 49:31SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 49:32SPEAKER_02: Uh no, you said it was a five-piece and then it went to a four.
- 49:37SPEAKER_05: I want to check it so it's a five-piece and then it went to a four.
- 49:43SPEAKER_05: From five to four.
- 49:44SPEAKER_05: Five to four.
- 49:45SPEAKER_02: Did someone get fired or just die?
- 49:47SPEAKER_05: Eventually three.
- 49:49SPEAKER_05: Three.
- 49:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 49:50SPEAKER_05: So uh so when they went from a five-piece to a four-piece, someone got sick.
- 49:57SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 50:00SPEAKER_02: You gotta give me some hints here, man.
- 50:03SPEAKER_05: Um one of their albums, I think to this day, is one of the best-selling albums of all time.
- 50:13SPEAKER_02: One of the best-selling albums of all time?
- 50:16SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 50:18SPEAKER_05: And it's been on the Billboard charts for like, or it was for like 40 years.
- 50:26SPEAKER_05: 40 years?
- 50:27SPEAKER_05: 30 or 40 years.
- 50:29SPEAKER_05: 30 or 40 years.
- 50:31SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 50:33SPEAKER_02: I don't know, man.
- 50:35SPEAKER_05: Uh let me this maybe this.
- 50:37SPEAKER_05: So the the person that left the band because they got sick, um uh was mental.
- 50:48SPEAKER_05: Mental illness.
- 50:50SPEAKER_02: That's why they left the band?
- 50:52SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 50:54SPEAKER_05: Is it the Beach Boys?
- 50:55SPEAKER_05: Nope.
- 50:57SPEAKER_05: And then they did a song in dedication to this band member.
- 51:02SPEAKER_05: Uh, which is really long.
- 51:04SPEAKER_05: They're known for really long songs.
- 51:08SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 51:10SPEAKER_02: Known for really long songs.
- 51:12SPEAKER_02: Is it yes?
- 51:12SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 51:14SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 51:15SPEAKER_05: No.
- 51:16SPEAKER_02: Wait a minute, I'm confused.
- 51:18SPEAKER_02: Is it yes?
- 51:18SPEAKER_02: No.
- 51:21SPEAKER_02: You are not correct.
- 51:24SPEAKER_02: Um are they a prog rock band?
- 51:28SPEAKER_05: Uh some would call them a prog rock band.
- 51:32SPEAKER_05: Um others would just say classic rock.
- 51:35SPEAKER_05: Others would just say yeah, man.
- 51:38SPEAKER_02: Oh, it's the grateful dead.
- 51:40SPEAKER_02: No.
- 51:41SPEAKER_05: It's a good guess, though.
- 51:43SPEAKER_02: In the vein of the dead?
- 51:45SPEAKER_05: Um they have a following, like the dead had a following, but not not really.
- 51:50SPEAKER_02: So it's not fish.
- 51:51SPEAKER_05: Nope.
- 51:52SPEAKER_05: Um, let's see.
- 51:53SPEAKER_05: So the first guy left and the second guy when they became a three-piece, I think the second guy.
- 52:02SPEAKER_05: Well, there was a there was there was like just bad blood between the second guy and and the other guy.
- 52:10SPEAKER_05: And so the second guy said, screw you, I'm gonna go do my own thing.
- 52:14SPEAKER_05: And he left.
- 52:15SPEAKER_05: And I think over the years they've gotten back together with that guy maybe twice for like benefit shows.
- 52:29SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 52:30SPEAKER_05: Um think laser light shows.
- 52:34SPEAKER_02: Oh, is it Pink Floyd?
- 52:35SPEAKER_05: Yes, it is Pink Floyd.
- 52:37SPEAKER_02: Ah.
- 52:38SPEAKER_02: See, I didn't know somebody left from I didn't know there were five pieces.
- 52:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Sid Barrett.
- 52:42SPEAKER_05: Oh, Sid Barrett.
- 52:44SPEAKER_05: Sid Barrett was uh um the guitar player and and and one of the singers.
- 52:49SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 52:49SPEAKER_05: And the early, early stuff, it was really weird stuff.
- 52:52SPEAKER_05: Yes, right?
- 52:53SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 52:53SPEAKER_05: And he and he kind of went all I think he was schizophrenic.
- 52:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, something like that.
- 52:59SPEAKER_05: And so they wrote Shine On You Crazy Diamond for Sid Barrett.
- 53:03unknown: I totally forgot.
- 53:04SPEAKER_05: So you got um um Simon Wright, I think and Nick Mason.
- 53:12SPEAKER_02: Nick Mason was the drummer.
- 53:13SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 53:13SPEAKER_05: So and Simon Wright was a keyboard player.
- 53:15SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 53:15SPEAKER_05: Dave Gilmore, Roger Waters, and Sid Barrett.
- 53:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 53:19SPEAKER_05: So went five, and then Roger Waters left because they couldn't get along.
- 53:22SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 53:23SPEAKER_02: Because he's a D-bag.
- 53:24SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 53:25SPEAKER_05: And so uh it was just the three of them.
- 53:27SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 53:28SPEAKER_05: Uh and but I mean, still Dark Side of the Moon, I think, is still on the Big War chart or close.
- 53:34SPEAKER_05: Still a great album.

- 53:48SPEAKER_05: Um But if I put that in there and I get uh slow internet Okay, so that was released the year I was born.
- 54:03SPEAKER_05: 1973.
- 54:04SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 54:05SPEAKER_05: Um Dark Selling Dark Dark Side of the Moon became one of the best-selling albums of all time and is in the top twenty-five of uh of a list of best-selling albums in the United States, although it held the number one spot in the US for only a week.
- 54:27SPEAKER_05: The album remained in the Billboard 200 albums chart for 736 cons non-consecutive weeks.

- 55:19SPEAKER_05: That's an interesting statistic.

- 56:25SPEAKER_02: Out there in the cold, that's what I was.
- 56:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 56:27SPEAKER_05: Can you feel me?
- 56:28SPEAKER_02: Then of course Engine McCache.
- 56:34SPEAKER_05: Talk about this movie for a second.
- 56:35SPEAKER_05: I've seen the movie once.
- 56:37SPEAKER_05: I've always seen it once, too.
- 56:38SPEAKER_05: I did not want to see it again.
- 56:39SPEAKER_02: No, I never want to see it ever again.
- 56:41SPEAKER_02: No.
- 56:42SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, no, no.
- 56:43SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
- 56:44SPEAKER_02: I like the album?
- 56:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 56:46SPEAKER_05: Do not like the movie.
- 56:47SPEAKER_05: Do you know that they there's like um university courses on that movie?
- 56:53SPEAKER_05: Or you know why?
- 56:54SPEAKER_05: I exactly or that feature, you know, the song and whatnot, the movie The Wall.
- 57:00SPEAKER_02: Now, did the kids in this song ever win that lawsuit?
- 57:04SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 57:05SPEAKER_02: Trying to get royalties from this song?
- 57:06SPEAKER_02: I don't even think I ever heard that.
- 57:08SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 57:08SPEAKER_02: I guess they tried to get royalties.
- 57:10SPEAKER_02: Because they sang on it?
- 57:11SPEAKER_02: Because they sang on this.
- 57:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 57:12SPEAKER_05: So they didn't they didn't pay them or anything?
- 57:14SPEAKER_05: No.
- 57:14SPEAKER_02: I I don't think maybe they paid them initially, but they wanted royalties, you know, because it's I mean it's one of the best-selling albums.
- 57:23SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 57:24SPEAKER_02: So uh I wonder if that ever came to fruition.
- 57:29SPEAKER_05: I did want I want to tell you something that you probably didn't know.
- 57:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah, these kids right here.
- 57:41SPEAKER_05: Um, here's something you probably didn't know.
- 57:43SPEAKER_05: You know this song?
- 57:45SPEAKER_05: Have a cigar.
- 57:49SPEAKER_05: Did you know that a person who do you think is singing this song?
- 57:56SPEAKER_05: Just listen for a second.
- 58:00SPEAKER_05: Because you had Roger Waters who sang.
- 58:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 58:03SPEAKER_05: Dave Gilmore sang.
- 58:04SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 58:05SPEAKER_05: In the early days, Tid Barrett sang a couple, I think.
- 58:13SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's the name of this song?
- 58:14SPEAKER_02: Have a cigar.
- 58:15SPEAKER_02: Oh, I think there's something else.
- 58:23SPEAKER_05: Waiting for them to sing, but this is, I forget this is Pink Foy.
- 58:25SPEAKER_05: It'll be a couple minutes.
- 58:27SPEAKER_02: We could be here until tomorrow.
- 58:30SPEAKER_05: So this song was written by Roger Waters.
- 58:33SPEAKER_05: Uh it was critiquing hypocrisy and greed within the music business.
- 58:39SPEAKER_05: It's like shooting fashion, bro.
- 58:41SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 58:43SPEAKER_05: Alright, so tell me who's singing this.
- 58:53SPEAKER_02: Kinda sounds like Dominantly, actually.
- 59:06SPEAKER_02: He's English, obviously.
- 59:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so but it's not a member of the band.
- 59:13SPEAKER_05: It sounds it's the voice does sound familiar.
- 59:16SPEAKER_05: It's a a folk singer from England named Roy Harper.
- 59:20SPEAKER_02: Nope, I know what I was thinking of at all.
- 59:22SPEAKER_05: You know which ones?
- 59:24SPEAKER_05: Pink.
- 59:26SPEAKER_05: Anytime I heard the song, I always thought it was Roger Waters.
- 59:29SPEAKER_02: I guess I didn't even realize it wasn't somebody in Pink Floyd to sing it.
- 59:34SPEAKER_05: Um, so so here's uh let's see, if I can find the story here.
- 59:39SPEAKER_05: Um Harper's Roy Harper's involvement with the recording arose from the dissatisfaction that Roger Waters and Dave Gilmore felt with their own attempts to sing the lead vocal line after trying it both separately and as a duet.
- 59:57SPEAKER_05: They turned to Roy Harper, who was recording his album, uh HQ, at Abbey Road Studios at the same time as Pink Floyd.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_05: He agreed to sing the part as a way of repaying a favor to Dave Gilmore, who had early provided him with some guitar licks.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_05: So yeah, so this isn't even one of the one of the Yeah, it's not even in the band.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_02: That's crazy, man.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_05: I never would have known that.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_05: Um These are all songs obviously found on this album, Wish You Were Here.
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_05: I love that song.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah, love that song.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_05: And then there's uh here's here's my thing.
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_05: I liked a lot of people didn't.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_05: I got into Pink Floyd.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_05: I was never really a huge Pink Floyd fan.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_05: No, but I mean I like them.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_05: Um but I got into them more from their 80s output than I did from their 70s output.
- 1:00:52SPEAKER_05: Like stuff like uh this right here.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 1:01:00SPEAKER_05: You know, yeah.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_05: And I don't know why, but I dig this stuff.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_05: It's it's very uh it's from like a momentary lapse of reason.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's it's very genesis sounding.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah, maybe um there's a couple other ones.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_05: Oh, Dogs of War.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_05: That's not on this, that's not on this collection, but that's a good song.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_05: And then there's this one that came from um Division Bell, I think.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_05: Did I ever tell you about Division Bell?
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was in your car when it got stolen.
- 1:01:38SPEAKER_05: C D player.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_05: C D player, yeah.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they broke into my apartment and stole my C D player.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_05: Nothing else.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 1:01:44SPEAKER_05: They must have really wanted that Pink Floyd CD.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_05: I wanted to hear that Division Bell song.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_05: Where are you know where somebody's got one?
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_02: Somebody's I heard him play it.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_05: Uh but yeah, I I dig their uh I dig their late output, you know, they're from the 80s and and early 90s.
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_02: I prefer their 70s stuff.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_02: Do you?
- 1:02:06SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, like comfortably numb and stuff like that, of course, you know, it's it's all amazing stuff.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_05: And I don't know why.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_05: I don't know why.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_05: I just maybe it's just because I grew up, you know, when I got into them, it was the it was the 80s and the video era and so on and so forth.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_05: But that's the um so that's the Wall of Tunes album of the week.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_05: What was it called again?
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_05: A Foot in the Door.
- 1:02:32SPEAKER_05: The best of Pink Floyd.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_05: Well, there you go.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_05: I got one of the names wrong.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_05: Uh Dave Gilmore, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_05: I said Simon Wright.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
- 1:02:44SPEAKER_05: Uh, and Sid Barrett uh is on scene.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_05: Richard Wright.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Richard Wright.
- 1:02:48SPEAKER_05: Dick Wright.
- 1:02:52SPEAKER_02: There's a joke in that.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_05: Alright, so there it is, ladies and gentlemen.
- 1:03:03SPEAKER_05: Season six, episode one.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_05: Is it over already?
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_05: It's over! What the heck, man?
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_05: It's kind of a laid-back affair.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_05: No kidding.
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_05: Maybe maybe the mojo is off because of the the the seating arrangement.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_02: Well, it's because I have to keep going like this.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean I could tell I could turn that uh that way a little bit.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_05: But we're kinda here's one of the reasons I did that is because I want a good camera shot of you.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_05: We're gonna try and bring back the videos that uh that we used to do.
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because there was a lot of good stuff on this one.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_03: Oh, wait a second.
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_03: I can give there we go.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_02: Now we got something.
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_02: Now we can make a promo.
- 1:03:56SPEAKER_02: Oh, by the way, I'm officially old now.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_02: Why?
- 1:03:59SPEAKER_02: I have new glasses.
- 1:04:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_02: And they have bifocals in them.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_02: I thought you had bifocals before.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_02: No?
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_02: I finally have bifocals now, so I'm now officially old.
- 1:04:08SPEAKER_05: Wait, are they bifocals or are they progressives?
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_02: No, they're bifocals.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_02: It has the line.
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_05: Okay, because my water.
- 1:04:14SPEAKER_02: Because like right here is all blurry, like I have water on my glasses.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_05: That must be annoying.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_02: No, actually you get used to it after a while.
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_05: My wife has progressive lenses, and she just got them last week.
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we were talking about that one.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_05: And she's she's not happy about it.
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_05: She's well, uh she's I think she's it just takes some getting used to.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's why.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_05: Because she she's not used to wearing glasses all the time.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_05: And but the way these are is because the way it was explained to me, because I had an eye appointment last week too.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_05: Um the way she explained it to me was bifocals um are just two um prescriptions.
- 1:04:53SPEAKER_05: So so you have to look over the bifocal to see far away.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_05: And then if you want to read close up, you look through the bifocal.
- 1:05:01SPEAKER_05: So it's two distinct things.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_05: Progressives, it's like you have to your eye has to find the part of the lens.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_05: You know, the sweet spot of the lens, and you have to go to that every single time in order to read it.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_05: And she's having the hardest time with that, like, especially driving.
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's why I didn't want to get progressives.
- 1:05:22SPEAKER_02: I was like, you know, give me the line.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_02: I was like, you know, that way I know exactly what you know, because it's kind of funny because I feel old, because like when I'm at a computer now, I have to do this.

- 1:08:32SPEAKER_04: What's paridolia?
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_02: Uh when you're when you see something that doesn't make any sense, and your brain tries to make a pattern.
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_02: Like when you look in the sky and you make shapes out of the clouds.
- 1:08:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_02: Like that's that's paridolia.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_02: That's your brain trying to make sense of a what it's looking at.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_02: So I happen to look out.
- 1:08:49SPEAKER_02: I was driving along and I happened to look like, you know, sideways, and I thought I saw like this big, like, bird, like big wings like this.
- 1:08:58SPEAKER_02: But it was just smoke from a fire.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_02: But the way the smoke was coming, when I first looked at it, it was like, what the freak is that?
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_02: It's like a huge bird.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_02: It's like a thunderbird.
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 1:09:09SPEAKER_02: But it was just smoke.
- 1:09:11SPEAKER_05: You need to uh stop listening to Pink Floyd.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_02: I wasn't listening to Pink Floyd.
- 1:09:16SPEAKER_02: That was that's not I don't I I very you know, I have the uh Dark Side of the Moon album.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_02: I very rarely listen to it.
- 1:09:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:09:25SPEAKER_05: Well it's a it's a it's a specific place.
- 1:09:28SPEAKER_02: This weekend what I did was like Saturday, all I listened to was Pantera.
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_02: Yesterday, just cold train.
- 1:09:37SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:09:38SPEAKER_05: So it's just you know, one extreme to the other.
- 1:09:40SPEAKER_03: I get that.
- 1:09:41SPEAKER_03: I get that.
- 1:09:41SPEAKER_05: So I will tell you the mode that I'm in right now, and maybe you can tell from looking around, I'm not sure.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_05: But I I get in I get in um just different modes all the time.
- 1:09:52SPEAKER_05: Sometimes I'm in a country mode.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_05: Sure.
- 1:09:54SPEAKER_05: Sometimes in I'm in like a singer-songer, like James Taylor, John Hyatt mode.
- 1:09:59SPEAKER_05: Lately I've been listening to a lot of metal.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 1:10:04SPEAKER_05: I've been listening to a lot of uh metal and just stuff I listened to when I was in high school.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_05: Um docking and just you know, all that stuff, and it's just it's it ri just reminds me of how fun how fun it is.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know.
- 1:10:20SPEAKER_02: Speaking of metal, Judas Priest is I know what stupid is that and Durand Duran got the fan vote, and I I I can't argue with that.
- 1:10:30SPEAKER_05: No, I because I think Durand Duran deserves it.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_05: But Pat Benatar still, once again, overlooked.
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 1:10:38SPEAKER_05: They've got to put her in anyway.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_05: Forget the fan vote.
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_05: Just put her in.
- 1:10:41SPEAKER_05: Just put her in, man.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_05: Judas Priest obviously deserves to be in there.
- 1:10:44SPEAKER_05: They've put him in.
- 1:10:45SPEAKER_05: They've been making hard heavy metal for thirty years?
- 1:10:49SPEAKER_05: More than that.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_05: Forty years.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_05: Forty years, yeah.
- 1:10:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah, forty years.
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_05: It's like, come on, put them in, man.
- 1:10:53SPEAKER_05: Um it's just it's ridiculous.
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_05: It's stupid.
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_05: I don't know why.
- 1:10:58SPEAKER_05: Shane, yeah, Shane makes fun of us because we we bitch and moan about the Hall of Fame, but we keep talking about it.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_05: Just because it's fun to go stupid Hall of Fame.
- 1:11:06SPEAKER_05: Stupid Hall of Fame.
- 1:11:08SPEAKER_05: Stupid.
- 1:11:08SPEAKER_05: Oh, I gotta tell you this story.
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:11:10SPEAKER_05: How much time do we have?
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_05: I don't know either.
- 1:11:12SPEAKER_05: But hopefully I have time to tell this story.
- 1:11:15SPEAKER_05: So um I had to tell my daughter uh this morning on the uh the the ride to school.
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_05: Uh I had to clarify something for her.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 1:11:26SPEAKER_05: So we were at church over uh over the weekend uh maybe it was the weekend before.
- 1:11:35SPEAKER_05: Anyway, we have a couple of new priests at the church, okay, and they're from Africa.
- 1:11:40SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_05: Uh really, really cool.
- 1:11:42SPEAKER_05: Um great accent.
- 1:11:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_05: And so one of them uh was telling a story about Thomas.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_05: And my twelve-year-old uh looked at me because the way he said it was Thomas.
- 1:11:59SPEAKER_05: Uh Thomas.
- 1:12:01SPEAKER_05: And my twelve-year-old looked at me thinking it was dumbass.
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:12:06SPEAKER_05: So he was laughing all through church because he kept he the guy kept saying Thomas, dumbass.
- 1:12:11SPEAKER_05: And he's saying dumbass all the time.
- 1:12:14SPEAKER_05: Anyway.
- 1:12:14SPEAKER_02: So to be honest, yeah, I would have been doing the same thing.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_05: That's right.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_05: So that was a thing with my 12-year-old and I.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_05: And uh, so I started calling him Thomas.
- 1:12:27SPEAKER_05: I'd be like, You didn't close the cupboard, Thomas.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_05: Thomas.
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_05: Thomas, Thomas, Thomas.
- 1:12:32SPEAKER_05: Well, my daughter started saying, but she didn't know the whole she didn't know the whole reason we were saying it.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_05: You know, and so on the way to school this morning, it must have happened over the weekend because I I thought that it was a proper time this morning on the way to school in the car with just my daughter and I to tell her that the reason we say it, uh, the reason Finn and I are going back and forth and laughing about it.
- 1:12:59SPEAKER_05: And so I said, you know, it's not a it's it's not a great thing to say, it's not very nice.
- 1:13:07SPEAKER_05: I said, but do you know do you know what uh another word for a donkey is?
- 1:13:14SPEAKER_05: And she's like, I know, but I can't think of it.
- 1:13:18SPEAKER_05: And I said, and I'm thinking she she's thinking mule.
- 1:13:21SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:13:21SPEAKER_05: Uh and I said, it's an ass.
- 1:13:25SPEAKER_05: So it's you know, another word for a donkey is an ass.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:13:28SPEAKER_05: And I said, you know, you know, donkeys aren't very smart.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_05: They're very strong and very, you know, they have a lot of endurance, but they're not very smart.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they're like marines.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_05: And so I said, so sometimes when you w want to make fun of somebody or you know, you know, you you if if they're not very smart, you'd say, You're an ass.
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_05: And uh a really not smart person would be a dumbass.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_05: And I said that's what Finn thought that he said, because he said Thomas.
- 1:14:04SPEAKER_05: He thought he said dumbass.
- 1:14:05SPEAKER_05: And I and she's just I can see her in the rearview mirror, just kind of processing this.
- 1:14:10SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:14:10SPEAKER_05: And I said, because I didn't want her to go to school and call somebody Tomas, like, because she calls her brother.
- 1:14:20SPEAKER_05: You would be getting a call.
- 1:14:21SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 1:14:22SPEAKER_02: Uh Mr.
- 1:14:22SPEAKER_02: McCain we talk to you next time.
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_05: I said I said, just don't, just don't say that at all.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_05: And now that I'm thinking about it, I'm telling you this story, and now my wife is gonna find out that I told my daughter what a dumbass is.
- 1:14:34SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_02: But you know, I I think So should I start making the funeral arrangements now or later?
- 1:14:41SPEAKER_02: Or just wait and be surprised.
- 1:14:43SPEAKER_02: He's dead?
- 1:14:44SPEAKER_02: Oh, no, how it happened.
- 1:14:46SPEAKER_05: I'm hoping that Myra just forgets it, you know, forgets all about it.
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_05: No, she won't.
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_05: My 12-year-old is because he's still saying, dumbass, dumas.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_02: Of course she's not because you told her not to say it.
- 1:14:56SPEAKER_02: Of course, she's that's what she's gonna want to say now, man.
- 1:14:58SPEAKER_01: Uh yes, Mr.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_01: Mr.
- 1:14:59SPEAKER_01: Miller, um Myra's been using profanity and she's just not being very nice, and she's what's she saying?
- 1:15:07SPEAKER_01: Well, she's calling everyone dumbass.
- 1:15:08SPEAKER_02: Well, that's probably because they are.
- 1:15:10SPEAKER_02: So they probably deserve it.
- 1:15:11SPEAKER_02: So goodbye.
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 1:15:15SPEAKER_03: There you go.
- 1:15:16SPEAKER_03: Season five.
