• 9:18
  SPEAKER_02: I present a list of songs to choose from, and this year I created a poll.

• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: It's a song I wrote almost 30 years ago.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_02: The other 20% who did not vote in the song are failing my clients.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_11: Good one.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: This is a love behind them featuring solos from Halloween.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: Now Hunter felt really bad.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_03: He did the second verse.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_03: And he forgot the words.

• 10:21
  SPEAKER_03: Been there and done that, my friend.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_03: But listen, you know, he got up there, and having a having a guy get up there and do it is a lot.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_03: It's awesome.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_03: That was me plugging my guitar in.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_12: I was about to say that sounded like a familiar sound.

• 14:23
  SPEAKER_03: I'm hoping somebody recorded that.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_03: Um and I haven't seen uh Hunter who did the the second solo um since that night because he was absent today.

  SPEAKER_03: Um but I wanted to tell him because this is a kid, he's a freshman.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: This is a kid who um yes might have pitch problems, but I believe that he could do it.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I picked it well, a lot of people auditioned, and a lot of people can could have done it.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_03: I gave it to him because well, you know when you see something in somebody and they need a little boost, right?
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_03: Or whatever.

• 21:36
  SPEAKER_12: So it was really nice.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's um you when you talk about the smile on the kids' face, so I had a similar experience.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_03: So we had our spring concert on Thursday and on Friday I was at the middle school for middle school chorus.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_03: And what are you gonna do after the concert?
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I'm gonna give out awards.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah And it turned out that uh it was my last um class at the middle school because normally normally I would um have middle school chorus on Wednesdays and Fridays even after the concert.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_03: So we would do like karaoke.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_03: We just have fun until the end of the year.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_03: But it was decided that week that uh because of the big changeover.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_03: And and and they have to build walls and they want to put a bunch of stuff on the stage of the auditorium as as like a catch-all.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: You know, to to kind of store it there so they can do stuff.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_03: And so I was basically losing my classroom.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: And she my principal gave me the option.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_03: She says, um so we could put you in a classroom or we could just say no more course for the rest of the year.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: So I picked B.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_03: No more course for the rest of the year.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_03: Because all we would do would be carrying a lot of it's destructive anyway, so why not?
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: So that Friday I gave out awards.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_03: And um the the award so so each get a certificate for participating in course and the um students that have been with me for all three years, sixth, seventh and eighth grade, they get a plaque.

  SPEAKER_03: It's like an eighth grade plaque.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_03: So this one kid has been a pain in my butt.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_03: I had him so when I first went back into education as an ed tech at Zippel is when I first got exposed to this kid.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_03: And he has been um he's he's how can I explain it?
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_03: He's one of those guys that deep down you could tell he's a sweet kid but he just questions authority and he just uh wants to just marches to the beat of his own drum and uh is always in trouble.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_03: Like suspended trouble.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_03: You know I mean he's always he's that kid because hey he's got a big mouth or you know something stupid.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_03: But he's been in my chorus but but he hasn't been consistently in my chorus.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_03: So uh like the I I was giving the awards and I said okay and I said to him I said so so according to the office you were in chorus sixth grade uh but only for quarter three and quarter four.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_03: Seventh grade you were in course but only quarter one and quarter two and at eighth grade this year you've been in course all year.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_03: So this plaque I I wasn't gonna give you this award uh because you weren't consistently in course for three years.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_03: But you were in course sixth grade seventh grade that's three years isn't it buddy?
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_03: He's like yeah I was like so this is for you so I gave him the plaque and he goes and sits down and he's like really I was like yeah and so we're doing something else we're talking about something else we've already moved on and I'm looking over there and he's just kind of sitting there in the auditorium seat and just he just blurts out I've never gotten an award in my life I said really yeah I've never gotten a trophy or anything I said well now you have.
• 25:15
  SPEAKER_03: There you go and I was just like that just made my day man right that's what we do.
• 25:20
  SPEAKER_03: Right I mean we do it you know he he's been such a such a um I don't know challenged figure in in middle school um not necessarily his own challenge but he challenges other people sure you know and gets in trouble for it and here he is getting a an award so I think that was cool that made my day yeah that was yeah that's good yeah that's a good thing so hopefully that um that helps him well maybe it'll be a turning point maybe it'll maybe maybe won't try harder maybe won't maybe won't we don't know but that's okay just the fact that he actually said that and was was was really happy.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah he's got an award now was was cool.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_03: That's all is good.

• 27:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah and she he was at least two feet taller than she was Eli's almost two feet taller than everybody else.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_03: Well I mean she's really tiny.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_03: But anyway so he starts telling me about the well I I actually before he starts telling me about this girl afterwards after the prom, I noticed that in the next couple of days he's singing because Eli sings everywhere he goes anyway.
• 27:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah I noticed that but he wakes up in the morning and he's singing like I was like how do you know that song?
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_03: I love that song.

• 27:53
  SPEAKER_03: And he's like well so and so the this girl in Van Buren really likes that music.

  SPEAKER_03: I'm like really marry her no do not let her go yeah he's like she yeah she really she likes the really old stuff.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_03: I was like well that's really cool.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_03: So I was and it just and he's been singing it like all weekend long.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_03: We need to bring her on the podcast.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_12: Right exactly that's all that's it and uh we gotta show the world we have to show the world that that or at least our tens of listeners.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_03: These parents have raised someone the success success um I keep you I'm going on a off on these tangents as well um so I've been so I started you know I put on because I've been listening to I listen to everything anyway yeah but when I got in the car um lately the past couple days I put it on 60s on or 60s gold on on uh on um no serious oh serious serious XM I'm trying to find if the yeah let's try that oh no never mind I was gonna try and find my uh first grade concert today because we're talking about um kids who like old music and I I did actually say into the microphone today um before we did this this song was that uh this song was suggested by a first grader.
• 29:23
  SPEAKER_03: Uh I don't remember which first grader but I want to say I want to commend their parents on raising them the right way because they have good taste in music and it was I love rock and roll but we changed the words to it.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_03: Uh and there was one girl Oh I did see this post.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_03: You did?
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: Which post?
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_12: About the I love rock and roll you did?
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_03: Who posted it?
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Corey did or oh that's right yes that's right she did post a picture of yeah yeah anyway so that girl that was in the picture when it got to the chorus she was in the back row when it got to the chorus she and she's not wrong she said she stole the show she was like oh I love Rocky Roll just at the top of her lungs and it was so awesome it was so awesome.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_03: And of course we had to change the words because you know we can't have them singing about a 17 year old at a bar or or whatever.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_12: Why not?
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_12: Exactly so to them sing along a Taylor Swift that's just as bad.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_03: But I've been listening to to like uh a lot of uh 60s stuff lately and I just forget how much I love that.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_03: How much better it was yeah yeah it really was it was simpler but it was well not all of it uh you know if you get into like Brian Wilson and stuff like that.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah but uh it was just more it was m innocent and and most of it anyway the music was innocent.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_03: That's what I mean.
• 30:58
  SPEAKER_12: I don't think the artists were necessarily I'm not saying that I'm not saying that uh I think sometimes we equate it yeah and like oh look at look look how sweet they are you know because like the Beatles I wanna hold you and they're doing like three four girls a night right you know running trains on them.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_12: Exactly yeah yeah not you know yeah you want to you want to be that naive but you're like you hear the stories and then you're like kind of it kind of tastes the songs a little bit but you know it's like well it is what it is.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_03: You hear the stories you read the biographies.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_03: Humans are humans yeah so you know um you mentioned the Beatles uh great songwriters yes right we talked uh was it last podcast or the podcast before podcast before before uh the New York Times lists of the 30 Worst list ever 30 uh greatest living American songwriters correct and we made a big stink about who was left off yeah they put the the New York Times didn't put Billy Joel on that list.
• 32:05
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah still Jackson Brown um James Taylor I mean all these people were left off the list and so we knew we were right well it was just confirmed because if you if anybody knows who Rick Beatto is um very very well respected uh industry person songwriter musician amazing musician uh but uh he's known these days as a YouTuber yeah uh he's got a couple of YouTube channels and they're amazing.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: If you have not checked out Rick Beatto uh on YouTube uh and you're a music fan then I don't know where you've been living um because he's his insight in everything and in interviews oh yeah he interviews just some amazing amazing people in the industry and uh amazing artists and uh he he has uh put his two cents in uh with this stupid stupid well not all stupid not all stupid so I mean a lot stupid it's thirty living American songwriters and there are some people on that list that deserve to be on there.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_03: Correct.
• 33:09
  SPEAKER_03: But I would say a good a good half half maybe or two thirds or that it's not that they don't that it that they don't deserve to be on there but there are if you're picking thirty there are people that you left off that were uh it's criminal almost and we already mentioned a few of them Billy Joel, Jackson Brown, James Taylor, um and there are so many more.
• 33:33
  SPEAKER_03: And Rick Bianto actually calls them out as well.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah um he came out with people we told we didn't know we forgot about Donald Fagan.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah how did we forget about Donald Fagan Steely Dan and he he he actually said that there will never be anybody that writes a song like Donald Fagan and he's right.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_03: He's absolutely right Tom Waits I think we mentioned Tom Waits.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah we did Tom uh but um these people should be on this list uh and he points out the fact that the people that picked the list are all Ivy League um snobs basically not only that but none of them have any degrees in like music at all right they're all they're all journalist history literature it's like well okay but keep in mind though music music listening is subjective yeah right you you like what you like you don't like what you don't like there's one guy on there that says I don't like Billy Joel.
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_03: Okay you're an idiot why are you in the New York Times right why did they even let you in the door some people don't like Billy Joel but that doesn't that's that doesn't negate the fact that he belongs on a list of the 30 greatest living American songwriters.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_03: Randy Newman belongs on that list.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_03: People that have been writing songs for decades and having huge success um deserve to be and then they so they he went over the criteria they picked or they used to to pick these writers and and it's just there's a and they got a lot of flack for it as well.
• 35:11
  SPEAKER_03: Well they should so I just want to point you to uh Rick Biotto on YouTube uh and see if you can find those videos.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_03: He does he's done two videos on that topic itself.
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_03: Uh one of them I think is called this F and guy.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_03: Um and then the other one the other one something about what is this S?
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah what is this stuff.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_03: Um so if you're interested uh check out Rick Beato on YouTube because uh his two cents is worth it.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_03: So always always worth it um before we go into the rest of the podcast which is we're we're gonna do the the movie thing and then the mixtape and all that stuff I saw this I haven't listened to it I haven't watched it but I thought it would be interesting to see um I also listen something's 50% off I also I also l uh listen and watch uh the professor of rock oh yeah yeah uh Adam Reeder is the the guy and he's got an amazing channel as well and he put out a thing uh recently that said there are times when as an artist you just need to hang it up he says I'm sorry to say that but it's true uh and he called out some people that he called out people he had a list of six people and he went uh this person needs to stop and this then the next one would be this person needs to come out of retirement and share their talent with the world again and then and then the next one was this person needs to stop and the people that he said didn't need to stop Vince Neal of Motley Crue I agree.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_03: I agree too I mean and he wasn't like negative about it he was like thank you for what you've given to the world um but it's obvious that you should not be doing it anymore.
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_03: David Lee Roth was one of those guys.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_03: If you've seen any of Dave's uh stuff lately because he's out on this tour oh that's right yeah yeah he's out on this tour um he should not be doing it because it's just it's it's it's painful to watch and to hear and you I'm one of the biggest Van Halen fans you know.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_03: True and um true story.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_03: It just shouldn't be it just shouldn't be happening.
• 37:34
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway the reason I picked this is because the headline is David Lee Roth tears up while recounting full circle Eddie Van Halen moment.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_03: And anytime there's uh talk of Eddie Van Halen I have to kind of dive in and see what it's all about.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_03: So this is um on my daughter's birthday May 19th of this year um I just wanted I just want to play it and see what it says.
• 38:00

• 42:16
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah I'm sure yeah um it's quite a history there is quite a history and and you do you know Al Van Halen's come out with another book uh and I think it's just called his name's Alex not Alan I said Al oh okay yeah sorry Alan Van Halen who's that no Al Al the mystery third brother he's an accountant he's coming out with a uh a new book and I think it's simply called Van Halen and it's uh I want to say it's a picture book I could be wrong.

  SPEAKER_03: Trying to jump something?
• 55:44
  SPEAKER_03: Yes, trying to jump something.
• 55:46
  SPEAKER_03: And and it's only because of the buildup.
• 55:49
  SPEAKER_03: So you started down here when the song started, and and it's not really even a big uh a big big buildup, but when it hit a certain part, you were taking the jump.
• 56:01
  SPEAKER_03: Sure.
