- 4:24SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 4:24SPEAKER_09: You know, it was just It's all anticipation.
- 4:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's all anticipation, it's all psychological, man.

- 4:28SPEAKER_09: Sometimes that's the scariest stuff.
- 4:30SPEAKER_09: I mean, yeah, slasher movies and stuff like that, yeah, that can be scary, but it's more of a surprise and just getting used to the gore.
- 4:37SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 4:38SPEAKER_09: You know, but the really scary movies are the ones that just keep you suspended.
- 4:42SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 4:42SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
- 4:43SPEAKER_09: Just you know, just sounds and you know, just oh, what's gonna happen now?
- 4:47SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 4:48SPEAKER_05: You know, so see how we did that?
- 4:50SPEAKER_05: We went from talking about a gig to talking about moot music and horror movies.
- 4:54SPEAKER_05: We're professional.
- 4:56SPEAKER_09: Are we?
- 4:57SPEAKER_09: No, not I think we're just lucky.
- 5:00SPEAKER_09: That's true.
- 5:02SPEAKER_09: Um I was guess what I watched uh over the weekend.
- 5:05SPEAKER_09: What?
- 5:06SPEAKER_09: Remember News Radio?
- 5:07SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 5:08SPEAKER_05: Oh, I love news radio.
- 5:09SPEAKER_09: One of the best shows of the 90s.
- 5:13SPEAKER_05: Oh, I totally agree.
- 5:14SPEAKER_09: I think I got overshadowed because it came out at the same time as Friends and Seinfeld and all that.
- 5:18SPEAKER_05: I totally agree.
- 5:19SPEAKER_09: But what an amazing show that was.
- 5:21SPEAKER_09: What was Will Hartman, yes, Dave Foley.
- 5:25SPEAKER_05: But the the the boss.
- 5:26SPEAKER_05: Uh Steven Root.
- 5:28SPEAKER_05: Stephen Root, but what what was his character name?
- 5:30SPEAKER_05: Jimmy James.
- 5:31SPEAKER_05: Jimmy James.
- 5:32SPEAKER_10: He was hilarious.
- 5:33SPEAKER_10: Awesome.
- 5:34SPEAKER_10: Awesome.
- 5:34SPEAKER_10: So funny.
- 5:35SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 5:35SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 5:36SPEAKER_09: I mean, and Joe and a young Joe Rogan.
- 5:38SPEAKER_09: Young Joe Rogan.
- 5:39SPEAKER_09: I mean I I I mean, I was literally laughing out loud.
- 5:43SPEAKER_09: I have not watched a show and laughed out loud in a long time.
- 5:46SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 5:47SPEAKER_09: I was and this is from like the mid-90s.
- 5:49SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 5:50SPEAKER_09: And it's still freaking hilarious.
- 5:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and they did and honestly, all the shows that they're trying to bring to to uh debut today, all the comedies, I don't watch a lot of TV.
- 6:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:01SPEAKER_05: But but if if the TV happens to be on and like CBS is is debuting a new comedy that's uh you know supposed to be really funny, I'll I'll give it a shot.
- 6:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: It's so forced and just not funny.
- 6:15SPEAKER_05: And I don't I don't know what the difference is.
- 6:17SPEAKER_05: Back in the 90s, news radio, friends, I mean the writing was on those those sitcoms was so awesome.
- 6:24SPEAKER_09: So good.
- 6:25SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:25SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 6:26SPEAKER_09: They don't, yeah.
- 6:27SPEAKER_09: You know, it was it like ended with The Office and Parks and Rec and those those shows.
- 6:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 6:33SPEAKER_09: They were like the bash last bash.
- 6:35SPEAKER_05: Those aren't sitcoms.
- 6:37SPEAKER_09: They were, but they weren't.
- 6:38SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: Because they were more reality-based, you know, you know.
- 6:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they weren't in front of a live stream.
- 6:42SPEAKER_09: But they were still funnier in heck, you know what I mean?
- 6:45SPEAKER_09: They were funnier than anything I'll put up now.
- 6:47SPEAKER_09: Yep, I agree.
- 6:48SPEAKER_09: So I just what really cracked me up though is I I randomly picked this episode, and Phil Hartman is telling everybody that somebody's trying to kill him.
- 7:01SPEAKER_09: And I was like, how prophetic.
- 7:03SPEAKER_09: Well, I know, right?
- 7:04SPEAKER_09: How pro the other thing that really weirded me out though?
- 7:07SPEAKER_09: Okay, the movie takes place in New York City.
- 7:09SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 7:10SPEAKER_09: Or the the show.
- 7:11SPEAKER_08: Yep.
- 7:11SPEAKER_09: So during the opening credits they show, you know, and it's the mid-90s.
- 7:15SPEAKER_09: So there's a couple times in the opening credits they show the Twin Towers.
- 7:19SPEAKER_05: Oh, right?
- 7:19SPEAKER_05: Wow, yeah.
- 7:20SPEAKER_09: Well, at the end of the show, you and they run credits, guess who the production the name of the production company is?
- 7:26SPEAKER_05: What?
- 7:26SPEAKER_09: 343 Productions.
- 7:28SPEAKER_09: Which is 343 is the exact number of firefighters that were killed on 9-11.
- 7:32SPEAKER_05: No, it's not.
- 7:33SPEAKER_05: Are you reading seriously?
- 7:34SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 7:36SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 7:36SPEAKER_09: How weird is that?
- 7:38SPEAKER_05: That's crazy.
- 7:39SPEAKER_09: And that show went off the air long before 9-11.
- 7:41SPEAKER_05: That's crazy weird.
- 7:42SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 7:44SPEAKER_11: Crazy.
- 7:46SPEAKER_11: It's so weird, man.
- 7:49SPEAKER_05: Um I'm trying to think of what I did over the weekend.
- 7:53SPEAKER_05: Um, I became a knight.
- 7:56SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah, that's right.
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: How'd that guy?
- 7:58SPEAKER_05: Very well, I mean it was Sir O'Brien.
- 8:01SPEAKER_05: I should say it was a Knights of Columbus.
- 8:03SPEAKER_05: So I finally joined the the the Brotherhood of the of the Knights of Columbus, which is the Catholic Masons.
- 8:08SPEAKER_05: Basically, yeah, it's a civic, it's a civic organization.
- 8:10SPEAKER_05: And and um I have to say, and I will say this um just in good fun, because I didn't ex expect that they would have uh uh uh hand signal or like well every good uh secret fraternity has a hand signal, right?
- 8:28SPEAKER_09: We have several as masons, freemasons, right.
- 8:31SPEAKER_05: Okay, so so but I I hadn't I didn't expect that.
- 8:34SPEAKER_05: So I was being, you know, I was it was a uh what do they call it?
- 8:38SPEAKER_05: Um it wasn't like an induction ceremony.
- 8:40SPEAKER_05: It was your initiation.
- 8:42SPEAKER_05: It wasn't well, it was a what did they what did they call it?
- 8:44SPEAKER_05: They called it I have it right here, hold on.
- 8:47SPEAKER_05: They call it mellow yellow they call it uh where is it, where is it, where is it?
- 8:54SPEAKER_05: I wanna I want to get the right wording um because it was a specific kind of ceremony.
- 9:00SPEAKER_05: Exemplification.
- 9:01SPEAKER_05: Oh, it's fancy is what it was called.
- 9:04SPEAKER_05: So um I mean you know what to expect.
- 9:08SPEAKER_05: I mean it was there's a lot of reading of the history of the Knights of Columbus and everything.
- 9:12SPEAKER_05: And and the uh other brother knights are over here, and there was um like a master of ceremonies, and they would they would all kind of take turns reading uh things, and uh every time that they would switch, they would give each other this hand signal.
- 9:30SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 9:30SPEAKER_05: Which in the end I found out what it was.
- 9:32SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 9:33SPEAKER_05: But through the whole ceremony, I could not get it out of my head.
- 9:38SPEAKER_05: This is the hand signal.
- 9:39SPEAKER_05: So these master Oh is not secret?
- 9:42SPEAKER_05: No, I don't think so.
- 9:43SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 9:44SPEAKER_09: No, I Well, I mean, uh I'm a Freemason, so it's all our hand signals are secret.
- 9:50SPEAKER_09: Oh, are they?
- 9:52SPEAKER_05: Maybe I shouldn't maybe I shouldn't you shouldn't Okay.
- 9:55SPEAKER_05: Well I can tell you what I what was in my head.
- 9:56SPEAKER_05: Okay, yeah, go for it.
- 9:57SPEAKER_05: I can tell you what was in because the the the um Master of Samarit would do a certain signal, yeah, and then the the brother knight would would uh return with a with a similar but different signal.
- 10:08SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 10:08SPEAKER_05: Okay, and then they'd switch places and he he would read.
- 10:11SPEAKER_05: But every time they did it, and and and it doesn't look like this, but every time they did it, I couldn't get this out of my head.
- 10:19SPEAKER_05: Nanu nanu.
- 10:22SPEAKER_07: Okay.
- 10:23SPEAKER_05: And it it doesn't it doesn't look like this.
- 10:26SPEAKER_05: You know, but but he would he would do the signal and it would Okay, so um part of it though, I will I will this might give part of it away.
- 10:34SPEAKER_05: But uh so he would do a signal and I would think in my head, nanu nanu, every time.
- 10:39SPEAKER_05: Every time.
- 10:40SPEAKER_05: And then when the brother knight would return the signal, I thought of the the end of or or or um Z Z Top in every Z Z Top video.
- 10:50SPEAKER_05: What did they do?
- 10:51SPEAKER_05: They went.
- 10:52SPEAKER_10: Oh right.
- 10:54SPEAKER_10: Right, yeah.
- 10:56SPEAKER_05: So every time they switched speakers, I thought, no no no no.
- 11:00SPEAKER_05: Z top.
- 11:02SPEAKER_05: I was and it was sad, I know, but and afterwards I uh figured out what the signal meant.
- 11:10SPEAKER_05: Okay, yeah.
- 11:11SPEAKER_05: And it made a lot of sense.
- 11:12SPEAKER_05: Okay, yeah.
- 11:12SPEAKER_05: Um, so but I I that was one thing that that caught me off card.
- 11:16SPEAKER_05: But other than that, it was it was pretty great.
- 11:18SPEAKER_05: Um yeah, I've got a council meeting uh tomorrow night, and uh um I think we're trying to raise money for I mean that's that's that's why I did it because I want to help any in any way that I can, and and this happens to be uh the servant kind of the servant organization for my church.
- 11:36SPEAKER_05: So and I I've been thinking about becoming a knight for a long time.
- 11:39SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 11:39SPEAKER_05: And now it was just the right time.
- 11:41SPEAKER_05: Awesome.
- 11:42SPEAKER_05: So yeah.
- 11:43SPEAKER_05: So that's one thing I did.
- 11:44SPEAKER_05: So that was yesterday.
- 11:45SPEAKER_05: That was uh Sunday.
- 11:47SPEAKER_05: Uh what did I do Saturday?
- 11:49SPEAKER_06: Shoot.

- 11:51SPEAKER_05: That was Saturday night, right?
- 11:52SPEAKER_05: Saturday night.
- 11:53SPEAKER_05: And then but I did oh, we had a yard sale.
- 11:56SPEAKER_05: Here?
- 11:57SPEAKER_05: Uh it was a citywide yard sale.
- 11:58SPEAKER_05: No, it was citywide yard sale for the for the town.
- 12:01SPEAKER_09: Oh, that explains a lot.
- 12:03SPEAKER_05: Why?
- 12:03SPEAKER_05: Because you were driving around and it was becoming.
- 12:05SPEAKER_09: I was coming through.
- 12:06SPEAKER_09: Where was I c I came because I was working in Easton.
- 12:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 12:10SPEAKER_09: And I came to Prescale, and cars parked on the side of the road.
- 12:15SPEAKER_09: Oh my word, there were people like standing in the street and crossing.
- 12:18SPEAKER_09: I was like, what and they did they did they don't care.

- 12:27SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 12:28SPEAKER_05: You know, so I was it's it's true.
- 12:30SPEAKER_05: And and and so where we were, my my uh in-laws, uh, my wife's grandparents had a house on Allen Street.
- 12:41SPEAKER_05: Uh and they they they passed, and now the house is owned by my wife's aunt, who rents it out.
- 12:48SPEAKER_05: Um and but we get to use it every once in a while to to do certain things.
- 12:52SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 12:53SPEAKER_05: And a yard sale is one of them.
- 12:54SPEAKER_05: So we had we had some stuff out there, and it was basically junk that we were gonna eat we're gonna donate to Catholic charities, you know, if if we didn't sell it, you know.
- 13:03SPEAKER_05: So we bring all this stuff out there.
- 13:08SPEAKER_05: And literally, I mean there's we had some and my son was with me, uh, Jude was with me, and and uh we had some shoes, so we put shoes and boots out like to sell.
- 13:19SPEAKER_05: And my wife said, you know, fifty cents for a pair of sneakers and and and whatnot.

- 13:28SPEAKER_05: Nobody's gonna want to do wanna wanna wear those.
- 13:31SPEAKER_05: You know, I was wrong.
- 13:33SPEAKER_05: Um so so this one lady comes up and and she picks up these and she's looking at these sneakers and uh and she's like uh um how much are the sneakers?
- 13:44SPEAKER_05: I said fifty cents.
- 13:46SPEAKER_05: Oh, really?

- 14:36SPEAKER_05: I mean, we we sold a lot of stuff and we made about$26.
- 14:43SPEAKER_09: Yeah, but I think it's more about getting rid of stuff than it is about getting money.
- 14:47SPEAKER_05: It is.
- 14:47SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 14:48SPEAKER_05: It is.
- 14:48SPEAKER_05: Uh everything that and we had um we had a tote full of the some of the kids' toys.
- 14:52SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:53SPEAKER_05: And at first it was marked 50 cents.
- 14:55SPEAKER_05: You know, they could go through it, they could take what they want for 50 cents.
- 14:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:58SPEAKER_05: And then we just put free.
- 15:00SPEAKER_05: So anytime somebody would come with kids, they'd be looking through the box and say, everything in that box is free.
- 15:06SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 15:07SPEAKER_05: Man.
- 15:07SPEAKER_05: So that's it's a beautiful way to get rid of your stock.
- 15:10SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 15:11SPEAKER_05: This kid, this kid that uh loves cars comes up and he's like, Oh, and so he's kind of stocking up on these cars, and we had this bucket, this Halloween bucket, like a pumpkin.
- 15:20SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 15:21SPEAKER_05: And we were trying to get rid of.
- 15:23SPEAKER_05: So here, put him in here.
- 15:26SPEAKER_05: And he did.
- 15:27SPEAKER_05: He just filled it up with cars.
- 15:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was great.
- 15:30SPEAKER_05: I can't you you just made that kid's weekend.
- 15:33SPEAKER_05: Absolutely.
- 15:34SPEAKER_05: Um, and but you're right though.
- 15:37SPEAKER_05: It was very busy, and they would just come up.
- 15:41SPEAKER_05: And if they didn't stop, they would go really slow and just be looking.
- 15:45SPEAKER_05: Where are they going?
- 15:46SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 15:47SPEAKER_05: No care about who's behind them or anything.
- 15:50SPEAKER_05: Oh, what are they going?
- 15:51SPEAKER_05: Oh, I don't see anything I want, so I'm gonna keep going.
- 15:53SPEAKER_05: Or they'll stop on the wrong side of the road.
- 15:56SPEAKER_05: Oh, of course.
- 15:57SPEAKER_05: You know, yep, and and somebody will come up and they'll see that this, oh, somebody, there's somebody stopped over there.
- 16:03SPEAKER_05: So they're gonna park right here on the right next to them on the other side of the road.
- 16:06SPEAKER_05: So anybody that's trying to get through has to kind of maneuver through and not hit the road.
- 16:10SPEAKER_09: And that's what I went through.
- 16:11SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 16:12SPEAKER_09: Because there was somebody stopped here in the in the opposite lane, and there was like a bunch of cars.
- 16:18SPEAKER_09: I mean, some were parked in the street, some were parked up on the sidewalk, and I'm like, I'm like weaving in between cars and people, and I'm like, you people are nuts.

- 23:44SPEAKER_09: Um considering who my parents are.
- 23:47SPEAKER_07: Right.
- 23:48SPEAKER_02: I woke up crying late at night when I was very young.
- 23:58SPEAKER_02: I had dreamed my father had passed away and gone.
- 24:07SPEAKER_02: My world revolved around him.
- 24:10SPEAKER_02: I couldn't lie there anymore.
- 24:15SPEAKER_02: So I made my way down the mirrored hall and tapped upon his door, and I said, Daddy, I'm so afraid.
- 24:30SPEAKER_02: How will I go long with you gone that way?
- 24:34SPEAKER_02: No wanna cry anymore, so may I stay with you?
- 24:43SPEAKER_02: He said that's my job.
- 24:50SPEAKER_02: That's what I do.
- 24:54SPEAKER_02: Everything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me.
- 25:03SPEAKER_02: That's my job, you see.

- 25:14SPEAKER_02: This teenage boy and he.
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: Most of the fights it seems were over different dreams.
- 25:24SPEAKER_02: We each held for me.
- 25:28SPEAKER_02: He wanted knowledge and learning.
- 25:32SPEAKER_02: I wanted to fly out west.
- 25:36SPEAKER_02: Said I could make it out there if I just had the fare.
- 25:41SPEAKER_02: I got half.
- 25:42SPEAKER_02: Will you loan me the rest?
- 25:45SPEAKER_02: And I said daddy, I'm so afraid.
- 25:50SPEAKER_02: There's no guarantee in the plans I've made.
- 25:55SPEAKER_02: And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home?
- 26:03SPEAKER_02: And he said that.
- 26:06SPEAKER_05: I mean, already it's pretty emotional.
- 26:08SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, right.
- 26:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 26:10SPEAKER_05: That's what I do.
- 26:14SPEAKER_02: Everything I do is because of you to keep you safe with me.
- 26:23SPEAKER_02: That's my job, you see.
- 26:29SPEAKER_02: Every person carves his spot and fills the hole with light, and I pray someday I might light as bright as he woke up early one bright fall day to spread the tragic news.
- 26:57SPEAKER_02: After all my travel, I settled down within a mile or two.
- 27:07SPEAKER_02: I make my living with words and rhyme, and all this tragedy should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry, but I said daddy I'm so afraid.
- 27:30SPEAKER_02: How will I go on with you come this way?
- 27:34SPEAKER_02: How can I come up with a song to say I love you?
- 27:46SPEAKER_07: That's my job.
- 27:50SPEAKER_05: I got chill bumps.
- 27:52SPEAKER_05: Chicken skin.
- 27:53SPEAKER_05: I'm not crying, but but you can see the hair.

- 28:22SPEAKER_05: I will be crazy.
- 28:23SPEAKER_09: I get that, man.

- 31:08SPEAKER_05: I watched her reaction to it.
- 31:09SPEAKER_09: Was it?
- 31:10SPEAKER_09: You so you so you saw how commercial she got it.
- 31:13SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 31:14SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 31:15SPEAKER_05: So this is basically um a song about Johnny Gut is gun.
- 31:20SPEAKER_09: I I don't think it was written that way, but it's but it fits perfectly with the movie.
- 31:25SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 31:25SPEAKER_09: You know what I'm saying?
- 31:26SPEAKER_09: I think it was written that way.
- 31:27SPEAKER_09: It could have been.
- 31:28SPEAKER_09: I mean, I don't know, to be honest with you.
- 31:30SPEAKER_09: Because if you listen to the lyrics, it's perfect.
- 31:33SPEAKER_09: It mirrors the song perfectly, yeah.
- 31:41SPEAKER_05: See, I don't hear anything from the movie.
- 31:45SPEAKER_09: Yeah, this is just the song.
- 31:46SPEAKER_05: Oh, this is that's what I thought.
- 31:47SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 31:48SPEAKER_05: That's what I asked you.
- 31:49SPEAKER_09: No, you would you would have heard the movie by now.
- 31:50SPEAKER_09: There would have been quotes that are now.
- 31:54SPEAKER_05: But it's about a guy who is uh a soldier who is wounded in the war.
- 32:00SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 32:00SPEAKER_05: And has lost his arms, his legs.
- 32:04SPEAKER_09: Basically, he's just the shell of a guy.
- 32:06SPEAKER_05: But he can still think.
- 32:07SPEAKER_09: Yes, exactly.
- 32:08SPEAKER_09: I mean, every you know, his brain is still intact.
- 32:10SPEAKER_09: Right, so he's still this is basically him inside his own head.
- 32:14SPEAKER_05: So when you would couple his his conversation with himself with this song, uh, it's pretty powerful.
- 32:20SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 32:22SPEAKER_05: And this is one of the to be honest, one of the most beautiful Metallica songs.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: Oh, absolutely, man.
- 32:35SPEAKER_13: I remember that filled with down and file out the story.
- 32:46SPEAKER_13: Terrible silence.
- 32:49SPEAKER_13: Now the board I'm looking up like girl now.
- 32:56SPEAKER_13: That does not look good on the world.
- 33:00SPEAKER_13: Nothing's gonna look like now.
- 33:02SPEAKER_13: Oh my breath is out there.
- 33:10SPEAKER_05: So he's trying to um get the attention of the doctors.
- 33:15SPEAKER_05: Like, I'm I'm alive, you can but you can't hear me.
- 33:17SPEAKER_05: Right, exactly.
- 33:18SPEAKER_05: You know, and so he's hold my breath as I as I pray for death.
- 33:23SPEAKER_05: Yes, yeah.
- 34:01SPEAKER_05: And then, I mean everybody knows the big part of the song.
- 34:04SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, the big and that's that's him just kind of that's his I ba that's basically him lashing out.
- 34:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 34:12SPEAKER_09: Just because nobody can hear him and he can't communicate with anybody, so it's like ah Yeah.
- 34:17SPEAKER_05: You know, so um this is about seven minutes, we're not gonna play the whole thing.
- 34:20SPEAKER_05: No, no, I was about to say whole podcast! Right.
- 34:24SPEAKER_09: Um uh But I also get you know, uh but as far as Metallica songs, Fade to Black is another really good emotional one because it's about suicide.
- 34:34SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 34:34SPEAKER_09: And uh the words are really very powerful.
- 34:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 34:39SPEAKER_05: You know, so I mean that that's another one that I always It's interesting to me because um most of the ones that hit me are country songs.
- 34:50SPEAKER_05: And I and I don't and maybe it's just because I don't know why.
- 34:53SPEAKER_05: Um but they happen to be well.
- 35:42SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I know what you're talking about too, but I can't I can't think of the name of it.
- 35:46SPEAKER_09: But the reason why I I associate that song is because I remember like us, like you, me and Bob and Sticky, and all those guys driving around in my car, cranking that, and I was singing it to the top you know to the top of it.
- 35:58SPEAKER_09: So it's nostalgia.
- 35:59SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 35:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it reminds you of good times.
- 36:01SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
- 36:01SPEAKER_09: Anthrax, uh Anthrax symptoms.
- 36:04SPEAKER_09: No, I don't want anthrax symptoms, I want the band.
- 36:09SPEAKER_09: Oh, starting up a posse, that's the name.
- 36:11SPEAKER_05: Oh shall we play a little bit of it or not?
- 36:12SPEAKER_09: Oh, uh you gotta you know, just because it's such a great song.
- 36:16SPEAKER_09: You know, just it's really you know, because it was, you know, it was the whole censorship with ice tea and body count and uh you know the cop killer song, and you know, that's it.
- 36:24SPEAKER_09: So if you have I think it was a reaction to that.
- 36:27SPEAKER_05: If you have children uh in the room, uh you might want to right?
- 36:33SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, there's there's some uh expletive yes, yes.
- 36:37SPEAKER_09: So but that's the whole point of the song.
- 36:39SPEAKER_09: It's not it's not swearing for swearing's sake, it's just right, it's to make a point.
- 36:43SPEAKER_05: And and we're just gonna play a piece of it just to bring back the memory.
- 36:46SPEAKER_05: So it's my posse! Yeah, I remember this.
- 36:51SPEAKER_14: Now I'm gonna tell you a story.
- 36:54SPEAKER_10: I'm pretty sure that's Scott Ian's singing.
- 36:57SPEAKER_10: I think it is too.
- 36:59SPEAKER_14: And freedom is the reason.
- 37:02SPEAKER_14: You can't take it without a fight.
- 37:05SPEAKER_14: So now I'll start it up a potty.
- 37:11SPEAKER_15: To come and look for you.
- 37:13SPEAKER_10: What do you this is just sings this in the top of our lungs, man, just driving around, man.
- 37:17SPEAKER_10: We loved it.
- 37:18SPEAKER_15: Do what you want to do, you fucking boy.
- 37:28SPEAKER_15: They are recorded.
- 37:30SPEAKER_10: It's country music until until the breakdown.
- 37:33SPEAKER_10: Until the chorus.
- 37:34SPEAKER_15: They went on being bored.
- 37:44SPEAKER_15: That's all you are.
- 38:06SPEAKER_10: I absolutely love that.
- 38:08SPEAKER_10: That is one of my that's one of my happy songs, man.
- 38:11SPEAKER_10: Just because I love that.
- 38:12SPEAKER_10: I remember that.
- 38:13SPEAKER_09: We would just drive around, we would play it over and over and just sing it at the top of a long song.
- 38:17SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
- 38:18SPEAKER_09: Just cause, you know, you're young guys, and it's words you're not supposed to say, but it's part of the song.
- 38:24SPEAKER_05: We're gonna sing it.
- 38:25SPEAKER_05: Speaking of that, do you remember this song?
- 38:27SPEAKER_05: Let's see.
- 38:27SPEAKER_05: Uh we're gonna have to we're gonna have to put like a tag on this episode.
- 38:31SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, we're gonna see if you remember this.
- 39:04SPEAKER_04: Hey, hey, oh, yeah, rock and roll and never die.
- 39:08SPEAKER_04: Just hang your hair down in your ass.
- 39:10SPEAKER_04: You'll make a million dollars.
- 39:12SPEAKER_04: Hot schider, yep.
- 39:13SPEAKER_04: Lives in this band going nowhere fast.
- 39:16SPEAKER_04: We sent out demos, but everybody passed.
- 39:18SPEAKER_04: The one day we finally took the plunge, moved out to Seattle to play some grunge, watching this state that is.
- 39:34SPEAKER_01: Absolutely love top.
- 39:36SPEAKER_01: I love this guy, I love this guy, he's hilarious, bro.
- 39:39SPEAKER_04: That's fit in fact, we wear flannel shirts.
- 39:41SPEAKER_04: We turn around, stop until it hurts, we got bad attitudes, and what's more, we play with stares straight down the floor while we pretty scary.
- 39:52SPEAKER_04: Offensive.
- 39:54SPEAKER_04: A totally alternative.
- 40:00SPEAKER_04: Now to fit in on the Seattle scene, we gotta do something they ain't never seen.
- 40:04SPEAKER_04: So banging up a gimmick one day, we decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note under any circumstance.
- 40:25SPEAKER_10: I wanna let this one play all the way through.
- 40:26SPEAKER_10: Oh why not man?
- 40:27SPEAKER_10: It's like great.
- 40:38SPEAKER_04: He said he loved our work.
- 40:41SPEAKER_04: He said he loved our work, but he wasn't sure if he could spell a record with nothing on it.
- 40:47SPEAKER_04: Man, you've been doing that all year.
- 40:48SPEAKER_04: That's the tell him from Seattle.
- 40:57SPEAKER_10: This is a different version that I'm used to, really.
- 40:59SPEAKER_15: Hey, hey, Ryan, rock and roll will never die.
- 41:08SPEAKER_04: But I made us do a video, but that wasn't tough.
- 41:11SPEAKER_04: We just filmed ourselves back and stuff.
- 41:14SPEAKER_04: There's no music but MTV stuff that love to use it.
- 41:17SPEAKER_04: The kids when wild, the kids when nuts rolling stone gave us a five-star views that we play with guts for kids taking drugs, we got out to play MTV on the blocky kids.
- 41:45SPEAKER_04: Well boom away at the Grammy show.
- 41:48SPEAKER_04: I refusing to play, refusing to go, and then just when we thought playing the last forever while I'll come this band that wasn't even together.
- 42:01SPEAKER_04: I feel stupid.
- 42:03SPEAKER_04: I can take it.
- 42:09SPEAKER_01: I remember we wore this out.
- 42:11SPEAKER_01: We totally wore this out.
- 42:14SPEAKER_04: Our band got dropped, and that ain't funny, cause we're all hooked on drugs, but we're out of money.
- 42:18SPEAKER_04: So the other day I called up the band that the boys have taken all I can.
- 42:22SPEAKER_04: Shave off your goatees, pack the van.
- 42:28SPEAKER_04: We're going back to Athens.

- 45:35SPEAKER_03: I turned around and dropped a drink.
- 45:36SPEAKER_03: There was this girl there in a minute.
- 45:38SPEAKER_03: She was the most common girl I left nothing.

- 46:16SPEAKER_03: Knock through on some tunes, open up my skylight, twinkle, look at the moon movement, came back and she had a whippin' a hand.
- 46:23SPEAKER_03: Turns out she was the black leotard, old cat woman.
- 46:27SPEAKER_03: Started, take me around my house.
- 46:35SPEAKER_03: Damn when a night I had to take her down to the station, and they locked her up, tied to talk to.

- 46:49SPEAKER_05: I love that guy.
- 46:50SPEAKER_05: He's Oh, do you remember Tarantula?
- 46:52SPEAKER_05: Yes, Tarantula was such a great song.
- 46:55SPEAKER_05: Oh, can I play I'm gonna play a little bit?
- 46:56SPEAKER_05: Why not?
- 46:57SPEAKER_05: Because one of the things about this podcast is we want to introduce uh uh and you know, I'm not saying that that uh nobody knows who Bob Schneider is because he's been around a long time.
- 47:09SPEAKER_05: He has been a long time, but he I feel like he doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
- 47:12SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 47:13SPEAKER_05: I feel like he doesn't uh he's put out a lot of albums, but he's uh he seems regional.
- 47:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 47:20SPEAKER_05: You know, um maybe um maybe we're just not following the right expectations, the right charts, or right.
- 47:26SPEAKER_09: It could be, but you know, I mean, as much as I listen to Sirius XM radio, yeah, I've never heard him on it.
- 47:32SPEAKER_05: Neither have I.
- 47:33SPEAKER_09: You know, any any channel that I listen to, I've never heard him on it.
- 47:36SPEAKER_05: No, I haven't either.
- 47:37SPEAKER_05: And that's sad because he's fantastic.
- 47:39SPEAKER_05: I think the Star City Syndicate should do this song.
- 47:41SPEAKER_05: Tarantula?
- 47:42SPEAKER_05: I think it would be awesome.
- 47:43SPEAKER_05: This is another from uh Bob Schneider's Austin City Limits, which was geez, back in the 90s, I think.
- 47:49SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was like late 90s, yeah.
- 47:51SPEAKER_05: This is this is just a fun, fun song.
- 47:54SPEAKER_03: Just a little song called Tarantula.
- 48:03SPEAKER_09: Oh, we can totally do this, right?
- 49:19SPEAKER_03: Under the stuff, Tarantula Pitching Throw in the Moonlight Under the Stun Tarantula Oh, we'd kill it.
- 49:34SPEAKER_05: Oh we would kill that stuff.
- 49:35SPEAKER_09: Oh, this oh this would be so much fun, wouldn't it?
- 49:38SPEAKER_09: So much fun.
- 49:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 49:40SPEAKER_09: That would get that would get some moneymakers shaking me.
- 49:43SPEAKER_05: I think you should look into Bob Schneider.
- 49:44SPEAKER_05: Uh I think you need to look up some some Bob Schneider and Todd Schneider.
- 49:49SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no relationship two totally different things.
- 49:51SPEAKER_05: Two totally things.
- 49:51SPEAKER_05: Snyder, S-N-I-D-E-R, and then Schneider.
- 49:54SPEAKER_05: Schneider.
- 49:54SPEAKER_05: S-C-H-E.
- 49:55SPEAKER_05: Schneider and Schneider.
- 49:56SPEAKER_05: E-I-D-E-R.
- 49:58SPEAKER_05: Um and Todd Schneider, another one.
- 50:01SPEAKER_05: Has been around forever.

- 50:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, the letter of the day is J.
- 50:46SPEAKER_05: Alright.
- 50:47SPEAKER_05: Um so this is from the guitar legend alphabet and the drum legend alphabet, both of them by Beck Finer.
- 50:54SPEAKER_05: Uh and J is the letter of the day.
- 50:56SPEAKER_05: Jay is for Joni Mitchell.
- 50:58SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 50:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 51:00SPEAKER_05: Interesting.
- 51:06SPEAKER_05: Um Jay is for Joni Mitchell, teaching herself to play.
- 51:09SPEAKER_05: She did have her own unique style.
- 51:12SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 51:13SPEAKER_05: Um and inventing her own harp-like style.
- 51:16SPEAKER_05: This iconic Canadian singer-songwriter used her guitar as a companion to her soulful vocals.
- 51:21SPEAKER_05: Her gentle strength struck a chord with women in the 60s and 70s, and she's paved the way for female artists ever since.
- 51:28SPEAKER_05: I wholeheartedly agree with her.
- 51:29SPEAKER_09: I forget she's a Canadian.
- 51:31SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 51:33SPEAKER_09: Alright.
- 51:34SPEAKER_09: So the drum legend.
- 51:41SPEAKER_09: Look at this.
- 51:42SPEAKER_09: Look at this.
- 51:42SPEAKER_09: Look at this picture.
- 51:43SPEAKER_09: Oh, that's awesome.
- 51:45SPEAKER_09: I wish you guys would say that.
- 51:50SPEAKER_09: He made his indelible mark on rock and roll as the drummer of legend.
- 51:54SPEAKER_09: It all started with good times and bad times.
- 51:57SPEAKER_09: Then became the drum solo and Moby Dick.
- 52:00SPEAKER_09: And everything after.
- 52:01SPEAKER_09: Many believe Bonham to be the greatest rock drummer of all time.
- 52:06SPEAKER_05: Okay, now what we usually do is try and pair them up.
- 52:11SPEAKER_05: Joni Mitchell and John Bonham.
- 52:14SPEAKER_05: You know, I think you could actually do it.
- 52:16SPEAKER_05: Well, because John Monum, I think.
- 52:19SPEAKER_05: He could work with anybody.
- 52:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think so.
- 52:20SPEAKER_09: You know, I mean, listen to a lot of the stuff on uh Led Zeppelin stuff, yeah.
- 52:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 52:26SPEAKER_09: He could have totally could have totally.
- 52:28SPEAKER_05: It probably would have worked.
- 52:29SPEAKER_08: I think so.
- 52:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 52:30SPEAKER_08: I think it would have.
- 52:31SPEAKER_05: So that's uh your guitar legend and drum legends alphabet.
- 52:35unknown: Pow!
- 52:36SPEAKER_05: Alright, so we are gonna take a break and we're gonna come back.

- 56:16SPEAKER_08: Like ten years ago.
- 56:18SPEAKER_05: He had a big hit with a song from well, I think I shouldn't say a big hit.
- 56:23SPEAKER_05: He had, I think, probably one of his biggest hits, which wasn't that big, um, with a song from one of our favorite artists.
- 56:32SPEAKER_05: Uh Paul Thorne.
- 56:42SPEAKER_05: He did a he did a Paul Thorne cover and had a had a pretty big hit for himself.

- 57:38SPEAKER_05: The voice is kind of familiar.
- 57:40SPEAKER_05: He's one of my favorite country artists, actually.
- 57:43SPEAKER_12: It's familiar, man.
- 57:44SPEAKER_12: I found a pretty little mood ring.
