- 2:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 2:59SPEAKER_05: Um did you know when he did he went to school with Rick Moranes?
- 3:04SPEAKER_05: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 3:05SPEAKER_05: He went to elementary school.
- 3:06SPEAKER_05: I didn't know that.
- 3:06SPEAKER_05: They weren't like like best friends or anything, but they knew each other.
- 3:09SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 3:10SPEAKER_05: That's why he's on their song, Take Off.
- 3:12SPEAKER_10: Because they knew each other?
- 3:14SPEAKER_05: Because they knew each other.
- 3:15SPEAKER_05: And it and Getty said it was the first time he'd ever been in the top 20.
- 3:21SPEAKER_08: Really?
- 3:22SPEAKER_05: That was the first dog that ever made he ever got into the top 20.
- 3:27SPEAKER_10: Wow.
- 3:28SPEAKER_05: Which I thought was really funny.
- 3:30SPEAKER_10: Wow.
- 3:31SPEAKER_10: Well, it's it was nice to see it take off.
- 3:34SPEAKER_10: Take off like that.
- 3:35SPEAKER_10: To the Great Wayne North.
- 3:37SPEAKER_10: See what I did there?
- 3:37SPEAKER_10: That was good.
- 3:38SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 3:39SPEAKER_10: Um, so let's see.
- 3:40SPEAKER_10: What else?
- 3:40SPEAKER_10: Well, what what else can we talk about since we uh we took a break?
- 3:44SPEAKER_10: Um, what else did I do?
- 3:45SPEAKER_10: But uh basketball, Eli's and you know, on varsity and played great on Far.
- 3:50SPEAKER_10: Oh, he's doing varsity?
- 3:51SPEAKER_10: He's doing varsity, yeah.
- 3:51SPEAKER_10: He was on varsity last year.
- 3:52SPEAKER_10: He was swung he swung.
- 3:53SPEAKER_10: Well, I was about to say he was a swinger.
- 3:54SPEAKER_10: Yeah, he swung last year.
- 3:56SPEAKER_10: Uh he's on varsity, he's a starting.
- 3:58SPEAKER_10: He's a he's starting on varsity this year.
- 3:59SPEAKER_05: Oh, he's nine seven, he's nine foot seven.
- 4:01SPEAKER_05: I mean, he should.
- 4:03SPEAKER_05: Uh bumps, he bumps his head on the rim.
- 4:05SPEAKER_10: He has such uh you know, and and uh you know you you want to brag about your kid, but I I also want to keep him grounded.
- 4:13SPEAKER_10: Sure.
- 4:13SPEAKER_10: Um but everybody says it uh about Eli and his basketball playing is if half the team was as aggressive as Eli plays, they would be unstoppable.
- 4:29SPEAKER_10: Because he may not make every shot.
- 4:30SPEAKER_10: He does he makes a lot of shots, trust me.
- 4:32SPEAKER_10: Sure.
- 4:32SPEAKER_10: Um but underneath and he's he plays underneath.
- 4:35SPEAKER_10: I don't I don't know what a position he plays because I'm an idiot and I don't know anything about it.
- 4:39SPEAKER_10: I don't know much about basketball, yeah.
- 4:40SPEAKER_10: But I think he's a fff he's underneath the basket, basically.
- 4:45SPEAKER_10: Is he a center?
- 4:46SPEAKER_10: This could be center, forward, I don't know.
- 4:48SPEAKER_10: I don't know what it is.
- 4:48SPEAKER_10: Anyway, but uh no, he's not a he's not a guard.
- 4:51SPEAKER_10: I know that.
- 4:52SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 4:53SPEAKER_10: Anyway, uh but he just won't stop.
- 4:57SPEAKER_10: Is just he's just like once the play if he if he shoots a basket and and it misses, he gets his own rebound, puts it in, and then he's down at the other end of the court.
- 5:08SPEAKER_10: I mean it's that's the way it should be.
- 5:11SPEAKER_05: It is.
- 5:12SPEAKER_10: That's the way you should play.
- 5:13SPEAKER_10: If the rest of the team would do that, uh and a lot of them do, and I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but uh just to watch him play when he's on is and he's only a sophomore, right?
- 5:23SPEAKER_10: He's only a sophomore.
- 5:24SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 5:24SPEAKER_10: Which is it's it's quite a thing.
- 5:26SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it's it's pretty cool.
- 5:28SPEAKER_10: So they had um they had an invitational um tournament or whatever this weekend, which they had a bunch of teams come up that they don't normally play.
- 5:37SPEAKER_10: So it's preseason still.
- 5:38SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 5:38SPEAKER_10: First the the the new season doesn't start for another week and a half or so.
- 5:42SPEAKER_10: Something like that.
- 5:43SPEAKER_10: So we had uh um we we had three basketball games this weekend.
- 5:47SPEAKER_10: So um we spent most of the day at the high school on Saturday.
- 5:50SPEAKER_10: Fun.
- 5:51SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, it was great.
- 5:52SPEAKER_10: We had a lot of popcorn.
- 5:54SPEAKER_10: Um let's see what else.
- 5:56SPEAKER_10: Oh, it's a staple.
- 5:58SPEAKER_10: Uh we had a great time last night.
- 6:02SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that was fun, man.
- 6:04SPEAKER_05: Skinny Elvis.
- 6:05SPEAKER_10: I cannot wait.
- 6:06SPEAKER_10: And I think who is it?
- 6:07SPEAKER_10: It was m well, what was Morton that said this um uh I don't even care if we do nothing with this band that or if nothing happens with the this band.
- 6:17SPEAKER_10: I don't even care if we don't play a gig.
- 6:19SPEAKER_10: The fact that we get together, have fun, and keep our chops up, yeah, you know, is worth it.
- 6:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:24SPEAKER_10: Um so what we're talking about is um kind of a side gig with a couple of members, well, we're all members of Star City Syndicate, Skinny Elvis.
- 6:33SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 6:33SPEAKER_10: And we're doing mostly 90s rock.
- 6:37SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 6:38SPEAKER_10: Which A, nobody around here does.
- 6:41SPEAKER_10: True.
- 6:42SPEAKER_10: And it's it's such a different thing for us.
- 6:46SPEAKER_10: Because we we were in Comic Crossing and Comic Crossing played a lot of covers.
- 6:50SPEAKER_10: Uh we did our own stuff, but we played a lot of covers, but it was mostly bar band covers, you know, that you know now your typical sweet home Alabama and Mustang sack.
- 7:02SPEAKER_10: Right, things like that.
- 7:03SPEAKER_10: That's you know, that's you couldn't pay me enough to play these days.
- 7:06SPEAKER_10: Uh not that I don't love that stuff, but um Well, it has its place, but it does.
- 7:12SPEAKER_05: You know, you gotta pay for it.
- 7:13SPEAKER_10: And so we did we we did that for a lot of years.
- 7:17SPEAKER_10: And now we're in the Star City Syndicate for what, eight years, seven, eight years, something like that.
- 7:22SPEAKER_05: 2016.
- 7:24SPEAKER_05: Seven, eight, eight.
- 7:25SPEAKER_05: This will be our eighth year.
- 7:26SPEAKER_10: This will be our eighth year.
- 7:27SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 7:28SPEAKER_10: Um and we do something completely different in that.
- 7:31SPEAKER_10: We did a lot of Motown, a lot of stuff with horns.
- 7:33SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 7:34SPEAKER_10: So this is a nice little just kind of side thing.
- 7:39SPEAKER_10: Where you know, we're playing Stone Temple pilots and just Harvey, Harvey Danger.
- 7:45SPEAKER_10: And you're the singer, dude.
- 7:48SPEAKER_05: I know that's so weird.
- 7:50SPEAKER_10: But it's but it's working, you know.
- 7:52SPEAKER_10: I mean, it's it's fun, yeah.
- 7:54SPEAKER_05: It's different.
- 7:55SPEAKER_05: You know, I just you know, because you know, I only became a drummer because I didn't want to be out front.
- 8:00SPEAKER_08: Right.
- 8:01SPEAKER_05: And then uh Star Cindy Syndicate, they were like, oh, we gotta put Doug out front.
- 8:05SPEAKER_05: I'm like, no, we don't.
- 8:06SPEAKER_10: Yeah, but now that's the reason people come to see us.
- 8:08SPEAKER_05: And I that's unfortunate.
- 8:10SPEAKER_05: But uh but now that I'm the lead singer, I'm like, this is a little weird.
- 8:15SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 8:15SPEAKER_05: Because I come and I plug a microphone in.
- 8:20SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 8:21SPEAKER_05: Now what?
- 8:23SPEAKER_05: What do I do now?
- 8:24SPEAKER_10: I think it's you know, it it's who you surround yourself with, and I, you know, that rhythm section is just phenomenal.
- 8:32SPEAKER_10: Unbelievable.
- 8:32SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 8:33SPEAKER_05: So um so yeah, if we never play a gig, that's fine, but it's just fun to get together and just play these songs.
- 8:39SPEAKER_10: Jam.
- 8:40SPEAKER_10: And it's the it's so funny the way it happens.
- 8:42SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 8:42SPEAKER_10: It's like, well, what do you guys want to do tonight?
- 8:44SPEAKER_10: Well, let's do oh we'll we'll do these five songs.
- 8:47SPEAKER_10: And I I listened to them.
- 8:49SPEAKER_10: I never learned them, but I listened to them, and I think probably you wrote the lyrics down, but that's about it.
- 8:54SPEAKER_10: But most of just the songs that we knew, yeah, or we we'd heard.
- 8:58SPEAKER_10: Um and then we show up and maybe listen to it once and pretty much play it.
- 9:03SPEAKER_10: And then play it.
- 9:04SPEAKER_10: And we could probably play it out.
- 9:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 9:05SPEAKER_10: You know, I don't want to brag, but it it was it's fun.
- 9:09SPEAKER_10: It's fun.
- 9:10SPEAKER_10: It is fun, it sounds pretty good.
- 9:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it sounds pretty good.
- 9:13SPEAKER_10: So uh, so I'm I'm excited about it, even if it's even enough, nothing happens with it.
- 9:17SPEAKER_10: Yeah, just it's just fun.
- 9:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it's a it's a fun band.
- 9:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so we got we're gonna we got an awesome logo.
- 9:24SPEAKER_10: We have an awesome logo.
- 9:25SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.

- 14:16SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 14:17SPEAKER_10: I I can't remember, I don't know if that was the song that he said, but he did want us to play one.
- 14:21SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see, Mick Mars' solo album comes out.
- 14:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'm kind of interested.
- 14:25SPEAKER_10: I am too, because we heard that one song a couple weeks ago, and it was it was good.
- 14:30SPEAKER_10: Um, Judas Priest, their new album, uh Invisible Shield, comes out in January, I think.
- 14:38SPEAKER_10: This is one of the tracks.
- 14:42SPEAKER_10: Panic Attack.

- 14:45SPEAKER_10: Um Lenny Kravitz has a new album coming out.

- 14:57SPEAKER_05: Did she go in?
- 14:58SPEAKER_05: I have no idea.
- 14:59SPEAKER_10: Don't care.
- 14:59SPEAKER_10: I don't either.
- 15:00SPEAKER_10: I I mean I I only pay attention every once in a while.
- 15:04SPEAKER_10: So anyway, that's what's what's coming up.
- 15:06SPEAKER_10: Um cool, man.
- 15:08SPEAKER_10: I wanted to to I got a couple of uh lists here.
- 15:12SPEAKER_10: Uh the first one I think we'll do is this.
- 15:15SPEAKER_10: This is by the way, this is from ultimate classicrock.com.
- 15:18SPEAKER_10: No.
- 15:18SPEAKER_10: No.
- 15:20SPEAKER_10: Really?
- 15:21SPEAKER_10: We never do that.
- 15:23SPEAKER_10: Um they released 100 metal facts you might not know.
- 15:28SPEAKER_10: Oh well, all right.
- 15:29SPEAKER_10: And some of them did surprise me.
- 15:31SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 15:31SPEAKER_10: Some of the, you know, some of them I'll I'll skip over because I'll be honest, there's a lot of metal bands that I just don't know.
- 15:38SPEAKER_10: Like, like I'm not I'm not up on cannibal corpse.
- 15:41SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I don't really know.
- 15:42SPEAKER_10: You know, nor that, you know, I mean, because yeah.
- 15:44SPEAKER_10: Um, but there are some things.
- 15:47SPEAKER_10: Um, let's see.
- 15:50SPEAKER_05: Well, that's the first Black Sabbath album.
- 15:52SPEAKER_10: Yes, the first Black Sabbath.
- 15:53SPEAKER_10: No one knows the name or current whereabouts of the mysterious woman seen on the cover of Black Sabbath's debut album.
- 15:59SPEAKER_10: She was literally van or has literally vanished from public record.
- 16:03SPEAKER_05: I bet she wasn't real.
- 16:05unknown: I bet she's a ghost.
- 16:07SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see.
- 16:08SPEAKER_10: The first edition of the Metal Massacre compilation misspelled Metallica's name with two T's.
- 16:15SPEAKER_10: Uh Metallica.
- 16:16SPEAKER_10: Metallica.
- 16:18SPEAKER_10: While serving time for petty theft as a teenager, Ozzie Osborne used a piece of graphite to tattoo the letters Ozzie across his knuckles.
- 16:25SPEAKER_10: Well, that explains it.
- 16:26SPEAKER_10: I I've always seen that, and I never knew that story.
- 16:29SPEAKER_10: I never knew why he had that.
- 16:32SPEAKER_10: Um Ronnie James Dio was recommended to Black Sabbath by another none other than Ozzie Osborne's future wife, Sharon Arden.
- 16:41SPEAKER_10: Sharon Osborne.
- 16:42SPEAKER_10: Um, probably because he was getting done and she wanted to take him solo, or I don't know, and she said, you know what?
- 16:48SPEAKER_10: This guy can help you.
- 16:49SPEAKER_10: Hard telling was Sharon.
- 16:51SPEAKER_10: I know.
- 16:51SPEAKER_10: You know, so uh when given a choice of birthday gifts as a kid, future Pantera legend Dimebag Daryl asked his parents for a BMX bike instead of a guitar.
- 17:00SPEAKER_10: I don't think that we need to know that, but still that's kind of interesting.
- 17:04SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:04SPEAKER_05: Makes sense.
- 17:05SPEAKER_05: I mean, he's a Texas boy.
- 17:06SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:06SPEAKER_10: So Iron Maiden cover artist Derek Riggs inserted secret messages in his detailed power slave artwork, including Mickey Mouse and silly phrases like bollocks and Indiana Jones was here on the album cover.
- 17:20SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that's funny.
- 17:21SPEAKER_10: I didn't know.
- 17:23SPEAKER_10: Um Slayer guitarist Carrie King was at one point a keen breeder of show dogs.
- 17:30SPEAKER_05: Well, kind of interesting because I think I think anybody that knows anything about Slayer would think that uh he would be eating the dogs.
- 17:37SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:38SPEAKER_10: So uh this was interesting.
- 17:41SPEAKER_10: Before he joined Metallica, Cliff Burton was in a band called Easy Street with future Faith No More members Jim Martin and Mike Borden.
- 17:48SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we listened to a song of theirs.
- 17:50SPEAKER_10: Was that theirs?
- 17:51SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 17:51SPEAKER_10: Oh, okay.
- 17:52SPEAKER_10: I didn't realize that was that was the guy's.
- 17:57SPEAKER_10: The title track of Megadeth's Countdown to Extinction album was awarded the Humane Society's Genesis Award in 1993 for raising awareness about animal rights.
- 18:07SPEAKER_10: Countdown to Extinction is about animal rights.
- 18:12SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 18:13SPEAKER_10: Do you know that song?
- 18:14SPEAKER_05: Countdown to Extinction?
- 18:16SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you probably know the song.
- 18:16SPEAKER_10: You just can't think of it off the top of your head, probably.
- 18:19SPEAKER_05: It doesn't make any I don't I don't understand what it has to do with animals.
- 18:22SPEAKER_05: Well, I'm I thought it had more to do with people.
- 18:25SPEAKER_10: I'm kind of uh curious.
- 18:28SPEAKER_05: Is that even a song or is it just the name of the album?
- 18:30SPEAKER_05: I said title track.
- 18:31SPEAKER_05: Oh, it could be, yeah.
- 18:32SPEAKER_10: So so uh I have to find out now.
- 18:35SPEAKER_10: So let's just kind of uh look up the lyrics for Countdown to Extinction.
- 18:40SPEAKER_10: Endangered species caged in fright, shot in cold blood, no chance to fight.
- 18:45SPEAKER_10: The stage is set, now pay the price, and ego boost, don't think twice.
- 18:48SPEAKER_10: Technology, the battle's unfair.
- 18:50SPEAKER_10: You pulled the hammer without a care.
- 18:51SPEAKER_10: Squeeze the trigger that makes your man pseudo safari.
- 18:54SPEAKER_10: The hunt is canned.
- 18:55SPEAKER_10: The hunt is canned.
- 18:56SPEAKER_10: Oh, that's why that's why that's why.
- 19:01SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see.
- 19:04SPEAKER_10: Guitarist Richie Faulkner's first public performance with Judas Priest after replacing the retired KK Downing was on American Idol.
- 19:12SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 19:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 19:13SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
- 19:14SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it's weird.
- 19:16SPEAKER_10: Uh future slaughter bassist Dana Strum helped Ozzie Osborne recruit Randy Rhodes and later recommended guitarists Vinnie Vincent and Mark St.
- 19:24SPEAKER_10: John for Kiss.
- 19:25SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 19:26SPEAKER_05: So basically he's a he's a metal headhunter.
- 19:29SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 19:29SPEAKER_10: Nice.
- 19:30SPEAKER_10: When Motorheads Lemmy tried to follow Keith Richards' lead and get his blood changed, the doctor refused.
- 19:38SPEAKER_10: They said Lemmy's blood was so toxic with drugs that normal blood would probably kill him.
- 19:46SPEAKER_05: I tell you, man, he's it's amazing he lived as long as he did.
- 19:50SPEAKER_05: I know, right?
- 19:50SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 19:51SPEAKER_10: This one I found kind of funny.
- 19:53SPEAKER_10: System of a Down's name was inspired by a Darren Malachian poem, who's I think he's the lead singer, right?
- 20:00SPEAKER_10: Darren Malachian?
- 20:01unknown: I have no idea.
- 20:03SPEAKER_10: Uh, called Victims of a Down.
- 20:05SPEAKER_10: But they went with System, partly because their albums could sit closer to Slayers in the record bin.
- 20:14SPEAKER_05: That's funny.
- 20:16SPEAKER_10: Uh Rob Zombie's first solo single, I knew this.
- 20:18SPEAKER_10: Uh, Dragula was inspired by The Monsters, uh, the 60s TV show, and a dragster driven by Grandpa Munster Lewis.
- 20:26SPEAKER_10: I knew that.
- 20:28SPEAKER_10: Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett and Testament guitarist Eric Peterson were both married to the same woman.
- 20:33SPEAKER_10: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 20:34SPEAKER_10: Luckily, not at the same time.
- 20:35SPEAKER_05: That's probably a good thing.
- 20:36SPEAKER_10: Uh, let's see.
- 20:37SPEAKER_10: After getting the boot from Metallica, but before he started Megadeth, Dave Mustaine worked as a telemarketer.
- 20:43SPEAKER_05: I think I read that in his in his uh autobiography.
- 20:47SPEAKER_10: Um Anton Crowley, who played guitar on Necrophagia's 1999 album, Holocausto de la Morte, was actually Pantera's Phil Anselmo working under a pseudonym for legal reasons.
- 21:02SPEAKER_05: He was what?
- 21:03SPEAKER_10: He was working on under a different name for legal reasons.
- 21:08SPEAKER_10: He was playing guitar in another band.
- 21:10SPEAKER_05: Phil Anselmo.
- 21:11SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 21:11SPEAKER_10: Oh he was Anton Crowley in the band Nec Necrophasia.
- 21:19SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
- 21:20SPEAKER_05: So he he so he took the name he he it's a mashup of the names of Anton LeVay and uh Alistair Crowley.
- 21:29SPEAKER_05: Clever.
- 21:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 21:30SPEAKER_10: Uh not evil at all, right?
- 21:33SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see back when the faces of Slipknot's musicians were not widely recognized, bassist Paul Gray took advantage of his anonymity to go on tour with former Stoner Metal outfit Unaida.
- 21:46SPEAKER_10: I don't know who that is.
- 21:46SPEAKER_10: No idea.
- 21:48SPEAKER_10: Um Judas Priest this doesn't surprise me.
- 21:52SPEAKER_10: Judas Priest singer Rob Halford briefly worked at a pornographic movie theater before joining the Metal Gods.
- 21:57SPEAKER_05: Not surprised.
- 21:58SPEAKER_10: Um Early era Iron Maiden singer Dennis Wilcock quit the band when they refused to follow his lead and donned Kiss-inspired makeup.
- 22:11SPEAKER_05: That's probably a good thing to get rid of.
- 22:16SPEAKER_10: Don't care about static X.
- 22:18SPEAKER_10: Oh, this was this was interesting.
- 22:21SPEAKER_10: Tools, 2001 song Mantra.
- 22:23SPEAKER_10: Are you familiar with it?
- 22:24SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 22:25SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 22:25SPEAKER_10: Essentially consists of a slowed-down recording of singer Maynard James Keenan squeezing his cat.
- 22:35SPEAKER_10: I almost have to hear that now.
- 22:39SPEAKER_10: Does that make sense to you?
- 22:40SPEAKER_10: Because I don't know a lot of tool music.
- 22:45SPEAKER_10: Hold on.
- 22:46SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but leave it to that guy.
- 22:48SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 22:51SPEAKER_10: Slowed down.
- 22:53SPEAKER_10: And I guess I'd have to hear the song because I don't know what um what would be the slowed down squeezing of a cat.
- 23:02SPEAKER_10: Let's see.
- 23:05SPEAKER_10: Oh.
- 23:05SPEAKER_10: Oh, it's only a minute long.
- 23:07SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it's not very long.
- 23:12SPEAKER_03: So this is him squeezing.
- 23:13SPEAKER_03: Now it totally makes sense.
- 23:16SPEAKER_03: This is him squeezing his cat.
- 23:26SPEAKER_01: That is hilarious.
- 23:30SPEAKER_10: Oh my word.
- 23:31SPEAKER_10: Alright, uh, this is Spinal Tap, is the only film on IMDB to be rated out of eleven stars.
- 23:38SPEAKER_03: Nice.
- 23:40SPEAKER_03: It goes to eleven.
- 23:41SPEAKER_03: Uh let's see.
- 23:45SPEAKER_10: Trying to look here.
- 23:51SPEAKER_10: Oh, speaking of Tool, uh singer Maynard James Keenan served in the U.S.
- 23:56SPEAKER_10: Army and has studied jujitsu with Brazilian martial arts legend Rickson Gracie.
- 24:01SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I knew that.
- 24:04SPEAKER_05: I think I knew that too.
- 24:05SPEAKER_05: Well, we talked about that one.
- 24:07SPEAKER_05: A few weeks ago, I think.
- 24:09SPEAKER_10: Um now that we've heard from Maynard's cat.
- 24:11SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he just recently uh reunited with his uh his roommate from uh West Point.
- 24:18SPEAKER_05: Oh.
- 24:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they just had like our little reunion and stuff like that.
- 24:21SPEAKER_05: I thought that was kind of cool.

- 24:50SPEAKER_05: They are so funny about stuff.
- 24:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah, they like the weirdest things.
- 24:55SPEAKER_05: It's kind of it's kind of hilarious.
- 24:57SPEAKER_05: I blame I blame it for being uh you know kind of behind the times for so long.
- 25:02SPEAKER_10: So yeah.
- 25:03SPEAKER_10: I think so too.
- 25:06SPEAKER_10: Um Marilyn Manson was 11 years old.
- 25:08SPEAKER_10: His father, Hugh Warner, dressed up as KISS bassist Gene Simmons, before escorting his son to the hard rock band's show.
- 25:15SPEAKER_10: That kind of explains a lot.
- 25:18SPEAKER_10: Uh I don't know anything about Amana Marth and Fear Factory, so I'm just skipping over those.
- 25:22SPEAKER_10: Mesugah, I don't know anything about.

- 26:36SPEAKER_10: They had to so they had the songs and they hadn't released them, I guess.
- 26:42SPEAKER_05: Well, I don't know why they just didn't do what uh Mustaine did, and you know, because he he just changed the name of Four Horsemen to uh Mechanics.

- 27:48SPEAKER_05: When I saw when I saw them, I think he was it was just before he left.

- 27:57SPEAKER_10: He was done with it.
- 27:58SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 27:59SPEAKER_10: You could really tell.

- 30:40SPEAKER_10: Oh, I didn't know this.
- 30:42SPEAKER_10: Maybe I did.
- 30:43SPEAKER_10: Uh when Ozzie Osborne hired a dwarf to cavort with him on stage, he nicknamed him Ronnie as a dig against Rival Black Sabbath vocalist Ronnie James Dio.
- 30:53SPEAKER_10: Alrighty.
- 30:55SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see.
- 30:56SPEAKER_10: More maiden night wish.
- 30:59SPEAKER_10: Except more Lemmy.
- 31:01SPEAKER_10: I think we've we've we've kind of uh run the course on these, yeah.
- 31:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it looks like the end of the article.
- 31:07SPEAKER_10: So a hundred metal facts, you might not know.
- 31:09SPEAKER_10: We didn't do all hundred.
- 31:10SPEAKER_10: No.
- 31:11SPEAKER_10: But but there's some interesting stuff in there.
- 31:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah, very interesting.
- 31:14SPEAKER_10: Yeah, very interesting.
- 31:14SPEAKER_10: A lot of stuff I didn't know.
- 31:15SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 31:17SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see.
- 31:18SPEAKER_10: I have another list, but did you have anything you wanted to?
- 31:22SPEAKER_05: Oh, we should thought we should mention uh a Hall of Notes.
- 31:26SPEAKER_05: Uh yes, we didn't know.
- 31:28SPEAKER_10: I don't know what's going on there because I read like the headlines and maybe the first couple lines of an article.
- 31:34SPEAKER_10: Um I know that Daryl Hall, first of all, before we get into this, uh Live at Daryl's house is back.
- 31:41SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 31:41SPEAKER_10: Uh it's been back for a couple of months, I think.
- 31:44SPEAKER_10: Um, because there's there's at least four new episodes, four or five new episodes.
- 31:49SPEAKER_10: So I'm happy to see that.
- 31:50SPEAKER_10: I used to love that show.
- 31:51SPEAKER_10: That was a great show.
- 31:52SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 31:52SPEAKER_10: So um we know what Daryl Hall's doing now.
- 31:54SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's suing Holt Oates.
- 31:56SPEAKER_05: Yes, he's suing John Oates because I guess from what you said, because Well, from my understanding, is he Oates is trying to sell his percentage of their catalog to some whatever, to whoever.
- 32:13SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 32:13SPEAKER_05: Some probably some conglomerate conglomerate.
- 32:17SPEAKER_10: So what what would the benefit be to a company buying half the rights to a catalog?
- 32:24SPEAKER_05: That I I have no idea.
- 32:25SPEAKER_05: I mean I I think that's probably I mean, it sounds like Oates is broke.
- 32:31SPEAKER_05: Or I mean, because there's a lot of people doing that.
- 32:33SPEAKER_10: They're they're selling.
- 32:35SPEAKER_05: Everybody's selling their catalog to everybody.
- 32:37SPEAKER_10: Because they're a retirement age, yeah, and they want to live, yeah, you know, they want to live well.
- 32:42SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I think that's a good thing.
- 32:42SPEAKER_10: Which I you know, I mean, I I guess I can't blame them.
- 32:45SPEAKER_05: Um but like if like but it seems to me that Daryl is still like I got more music.
- 32:52SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 32:53SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 32:54SPEAKER_05: And he's in his how old is he?
- 32:55SPEAKER_05: Because I don't know, I have no idea, but you know, he's gotta be in his 70s.
- 32:59SPEAKER_05: Um and Oates, I mean, you never hear anything from Oates.
- 33:02SPEAKER_05: You know, to be honest with you, I mean, it's not like he's out there touring or putting out singles or you know, isn't it?
- 33:09SPEAKER_10: Well, actually he is.
- 33:10SPEAKER_10: Is he?
- 33:10SPEAKER_10: Yeah, he's you never hear about it.
- 33:12SPEAKER_10: No, you don't.
- 33:12SPEAKER_10: Um and you know, but I find that with a lot of veteran acts, yeah, you don't hear about it.
- 33:17SPEAKER_10: Yeah, unless they're really huge.
- 33:20SPEAKER_05: Well, you're hearing about him because they're suing each other.
- 33:23SPEAKER_05: Dude, Daryl Hall is 77.
- 33:24SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
- 33:26unknown: Wow.
- 33:27SPEAKER_10: He's been they've been around a long time, man.
- 33:29SPEAKER_10: I knew that, but uh you know, I see him on uh live at Daryl's house.
- 33:32SPEAKER_10: He doesn't look 77.
- 33:33SPEAKER_10: Well, look at Sammy Hagar.
- 33:34SPEAKER_05: He doesn't look right, you know.
- 33:36SPEAKER_05: He don't look his age, right?
- 33:37SPEAKER_10: He doesn't.
- 33:38SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 33:38SPEAKER_05: Um, I would think that that would age.
- 33:43SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I was gonna say um anyway.
- 33:47SPEAKER_10: Um there's also a restraining order or something.
- 33:50SPEAKER_10: Daryl has a restraining order against John Oates.
- 33:53SPEAKER_05: I have no, I don't know if like John tried to kick his butt or what, but you know.
- 34:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, so I don't know.
- 34:04SPEAKER_05: Partnership.
- 34:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 34:06SPEAKER_05: I have no idea what's going on.
- 34:08SPEAKER_05: It's just sad.
- 34:09SPEAKER_05: Um it makes me sad.
- 34:11SPEAKER_10: Because, you know, I did I saw the article, but I didn't uh I didn't click on I read the first couple lines and I was just like, oh, not again.
- 34:18SPEAKER_10: Because you know, Journey's going through this whole thing, you know, where uh um Jonathan Cain and actually it was Jonathan Cain and Neil Sean, and they were at each other for something, and then there was money involved, and there was like there's always money.
- 34:34SPEAKER_10: Neil Neil Sean had a a band credit card and he put a million dollars on it or something like that, and it was like personal stuff.
- 34:41SPEAKER_10: Wow.
- 34:42SPEAKER_10: I mean it was it it was it was just a big you know Journey has a credit card?
- 34:47SPEAKER_05: Yeah, apparently.
- 34:48SPEAKER_05: That's funny.
- 34:48SPEAKER_10: But there's they're still touring and they're still playing concerts, and you know, obviously they're getting along somehow.
- 34:54SPEAKER_05: Well, I think it's just a manner of uh we gotta pay off this credit card, so uh let's go on tour.
- 35:00SPEAKER_05: All right, I gotta go again, gotta take care of Neil's Ferrari.
- 35:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 35:05SPEAKER_05: Why'd you spend$700 on a vacuum?
- 35:08SPEAKER_05: What's going on with you, man?
- 35:11SPEAKER_10: Uh so I got another one here from Ultimate Classic Rock.
- 35:15SPEAKER_10: Um some of these are kind of just foolish.
- 35:19SPEAKER_10: Um, but some of them make you think.
- 35:22SPEAKER_10: This is Rock's uh 25 Greatest Conspiracy Theories.
- 35:27SPEAKER_10: Ooh.
- 35:28SPEAKER_10: And the first one involves our friend Dave Grohl.
- 35:30SPEAKER_10: Dave.
- 35:31SPEAKER_10: Um Dave Grohl never broke his leg.
- 35:35SPEAKER_03: No.
- 35:36SPEAKER_10: No, I don't believe that either.
- 35:38SPEAKER_10: He talks about it in his book, right?
- 35:40SPEAKER_10: Um he continued to tour on that throne.
- 35:42SPEAKER_10: Uh that and then it says, or did he?
- 35:45SPEAKER_10: A quickly spreading rumor that Summer charged him with faking the injury in order to boost ticket sales.
- 35:53SPEAKER_04: No.
- 35:54SPEAKER_10: Uh Grohl eventually addressed the accusations during a September 2015 stop in Oregon.
- 35:59SPEAKER_10: I'm really into the idea of a conspiracy theory.
- 36:01SPEAKER_10: I think it's effing rad.
- 36:03SPEAKER_10: What if what if I didn't break my effing leg?
- 36:05SPEAKER_10: What if I jumped off stage and fell on the ground and I made it look like it was an effing emergency?
- 36:10SPEAKER_10: And then they drag me off to the side, and the band keeps playing, and then ten minutes later I magically effing reappear on stage, and then I get somebody else's x-ray of a broken leg, and I make it into a t-shirt, and we make millions of dollars, and I designed this effing awesome throne so I don't have to effing stand-up anymore.
- 36:27SPEAKER_10: Imagine that! Yeah, I don't believe that one either.
- 36:32SPEAKER_10: No, that's um not even close.
- 36:35SPEAKER_10: This one, I I was just reading this before you got here, I find interesting.
- 36:42SPEAKER_10: I don't believe it.
- 36:43SPEAKER_10: I don't, you know, but it's just it's just interesting.
- 36:46SPEAKER_10: So David Bowie predicted the rise of Kanye West.
- 36:54SPEAKER_10: So it begins with David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.
- 36:59SPEAKER_10: This is the album cover, you can see it right here.
- 37:01SPEAKER_10: Well, if you notice on the cover, David Bowie standing under a sign that says K West.
- 37:08SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 37:09SPEAKER_10: So inside the album opening track, Five Years that's the name of the song, Find Five Years, finds Bowie foreseeing a grisly end to the world unless a mythical star man descends to save Earth from itself.
- 37:26SPEAKER_10: Five years after the album dropped, Kanye West was born.
- 37:30SPEAKER_10: The theory doesn't end there.
- 37:32SPEAKER_10: Bowie's final album, Black Star, is thought to confirm West as his chosen successor.
- 37:39SPEAKER_10: Something happened on the day he died, Bowie sings on the title track.
- 37:42SPEAKER_10: Somebody else took his place and bravely cried, I'm a black star, I'm a black star.
- 37:48SPEAKER_10: West, working as a producer, also sampled Bowie's chart-topping fame on the Jay-Z single Takeover, providing another hint to some that he was meant to get this, Takeover for Bowie.
- 37:59SPEAKER_10: West was thought to have accepted the mantle while paying tribute to Bowie on the day he died in January 2016, saying he gave us magic for a lifetime.
- 38:07SPEAKER_10: The fact that Kanye West was actually a tailor based in London at the time, those are just those are just minor details.
- 38:13SPEAKER_05: That's just that's just stupid.
- 38:16SPEAKER_10: Dumb.
- 38:16SPEAKER_10: It's stupid.
- 38:18SPEAKER_10: Uh Prince's death was foretold by the Simpsons?
- 38:21SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, there's a lot on the Simpsons that I know, it's crazy.
- 38:27SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, it it's insane how many things that they came up with that actually happened.
- 38:32SPEAKER_05: That actually happened.
- 38:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 38:33SPEAKER_05: You know, so I mean, I think it's just another one of those, you know what I mean?
- 38:38SPEAKER_10: Well, let's let's read this one.
- 38:39SPEAKER_10: So the Simpsons have already been credited with predicting everything from new Apple products to the presidency of Donald Trump.
- 38:45SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 38:45SPEAKER_10: Uh so why not Prince's death too?
- 38:47SPEAKER_10: Eight years before Prince accidentally overdosed and died in April 2016, the Simpsons killed him off.
- 38:53SPEAKER_10: But the details don't really match up this time.
- 38:55SPEAKER_10: Homer Simpson was actually paid to murder Prince with his own guitar.
- 38:59SPEAKER_10: Um then we thought, who'd be good at killing celebrities?
- 39:03SPEAKER_10: A mysterious military industrial complex type, asked the Simpsons patriarch, who promptly answers, me, talking heads, psycho killer plays while Homer does the dastardly deed rather than say Prince's let's go crazy.
- 39:16SPEAKER_10: Um or would I uh I would die for you.
- 39:18SPEAKER_10: Elsewhere, the Simpsons have predicted the longevity of the Rolling Stones as a touring act.
- 39:23SPEAKER_10: There's a 2010 poster in Lisa's future dorm room from an episode created 15 years earlier.
- 39:29SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 39:29SPEAKER_10: And still to be invited, tech items, an intercom in a 96 episode looked exactly like the first generation iPod.
- 39:36SPEAKER_10: Homer also received a jacket in 2000 uh 2002 emblazoned with Guitar Hero before the game existed.
- 39:43SPEAKER_05: It's just crazy.
- 39:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I know.
- 39:45SPEAKER_05: They've come up with so many things that just, you know.
- 39:48SPEAKER_10: Uh I'm not gonna read all these, but I'm just gonna read some of the titles.
- 39:51SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 39:51SPEAKER_10: Uh number 20, the CIA killed Bob Marley.
- 39:54SPEAKER_05: I have heard that one.
- 39:56SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah.
- 39:57SPEAKER_10: When it involves a CIA, I don't necessarily uh you can't dismiss it.
- 40:01SPEAKER_10: I don't rule it out.
- 40:02SPEAKER_05: Well, that goes along with uh I don't know if this is on there, but uh I I've read a conspiracy theory that John Lennon was a CIA agent.
- 40:11SPEAKER_10: I've heard that.
- 40:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I've heard that as well.
- 40:14SPEAKER_10: Um Hotel California was about devil worship.
- 40:19SPEAKER_05: I think I've heard that.
- 40:20SPEAKER_10: I think I've heard that too, but uh we know what it's about.
- 40:23SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 40:23SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 40:24SPEAKER_10: Um Michael Hutchins died of erotic asphyxiation.
- 40:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we knew that.
- 40:30SPEAKER_10: Well, he hung himself.
- 40:31SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 40:31SPEAKER_10: But it's saying there uh it says um he was playing a sex game, but there is no forensic or other evidence to substantiate the suggestion.
- 40:40SPEAKER_10: So that's what's going around.
- 40:41SPEAKER_05: I'm not sure what kind of game that is.
- 40:43SPEAKER_10: Right, right.
- 40:44SPEAKER_05: Um but uh count me out.
- 40:47SPEAKER_10: So Debbie Harry was abducted by a serial killer.
- 40:52SPEAKER_10: Debbie Harry Blondie, of course.
- 40:54SPEAKER_10: Really?
- 40:54SPEAKER_10: The Grateful Dead paid for a final show Rainbow.
- 40:58SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
- 40:59SPEAKER_10: I don't know how you do that.
- 41:01SPEAKER_10: How do you do that?
- 41:02SPEAKER_10: Although there are some that believe that the government can control the weather.
- 41:06SPEAKER_10: Uh let's see, Kiss's blood ended up in Sports Illustrated.
- 41:10SPEAKER_10: Uh just let me just read ahead here.
- 41:12SPEAKER_10: Kiss has never been shy about merchandising, publicity stunts are a bit of every uh very dark humor.
- 41:17SPEAKER_10: Uh so the idea that they added vials of their own blood to the vat of red ink before publishing the super special Kiss comic book in 1977 made its own kind of kissy sense.
- 41:29SPEAKER_10: The story went on that they flew to Marvel's printing facility in upstate New York, had their blunt draw drawn by a registered nurse, and then added it before a notary public who served as an official witness, but then it got weird.
- 41:41SPEAKER_10: Supposedly a mix-up with the red ink.
- 41:42SPEAKER_10: Then it got weird.
- 41:43SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 41:44SPEAKER_10: Supposedly a mix-up with the red ink meant that the blood tainted red ended up being used for a run of sports illustrated magazines instead.
- 41:54SPEAKER_10: That's just so stupid.
- 41:56SPEAKER_10: It's just dumb.
- 41:56SPEAKER_10: I have heard this one though.
- 41:58SPEAKER_10: Stevie Wonder isn't blind.
- 41:59SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I have heard that one too.
- 42:01SPEAKER_10: Because he always always cracking jokes.
- 42:03SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 42:04SPEAKER_10: You know, you look you look great today or whatever.
- 42:06SPEAKER_10: But the the the thing that the thing that uh got everybody was um let's see, Wonder is a regular at basketball games.
- 42:15SPEAKER_10: He's even expressed an interest in photography and buying an airplane.
- 42:18SPEAKER_10: Um but what happened was where was it?
- 42:22SPEAKER_10: Uh okay, Paul McCartney was on stage at a performance at the White House East Room.
- 42:28SPEAKER_10: Apparently, uh he nonchalantly, Stevie Wonder nonchalantly cat uh caught a mic stand that Paul McCartney had knocked over.
- 42:37SPEAKER_10: So Paul McCartney knocked over the mic stand, and a blind guy catches it.
- 42:42SPEAKER_10: Maybe his I mean his hearing must have been fantastic.
- 42:45SPEAKER_05: Well, I mean, I don't know.
- 42:46SPEAKER_05: Maybe he's got like super sensitive hearing, and you just heard it.
- 42:49SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 42:50SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 42:50SPEAKER_05: It's hard to say, you know.
- 42:52SPEAKER_10: Oh, this one, oh, this one is interesting.
- 42:55SPEAKER_05: Is this the Super Tramp on the Uh?
- 42:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah, have you seen this?
- 42:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I've seen that.
- 42:58SPEAKER_05: It's crazy.
- 42:58SPEAKER_10: So Super Tramp predicted 9-11.
- 43:02SPEAKER_10: And obviously you can't, I mean, obviously you can't believe this.
- 43:08SPEAKER_10: No, but it's just so eerie.
- 43:10SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 43:11SPEAKER_10: Um, so if you look at Super Tramp's Breakfast in America album, um, if you study the image, there are certain clues to be found.
- 43:18SPEAKER_10: The album features a depiction of New York City skyline as seen from an airplane.
- 43:22SPEAKER_10: A waitress substitutes for the Statue of Liberty, holding a glass of orange juice instead of a torch.
- 43:28SPEAKER_10: The juice is positioned in front of the Twin Towers and just happens to be the same color as fire.
- 43:34SPEAKER_10: Now that's reading a lot into it, I think.
- 43:37SPEAKER_10: Um hold the record in front of a mirror, and the U and P in Supertramp look like a nine and an eleven, and that is true.
- 43:46SPEAKER_10: I've I've done that because when I first read this, I held the album up to America.
- 43:50SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
- 43:50SPEAKER_10: It does look like a nine and an eleven.
- 43:53SPEAKER_10: Furthermore, the title Breakfast in America tells everybody when the attacks would be coming.
- 43:57SPEAKER_10: The first plane struck the one world traits.
- 44:00SPEAKER_10: Center at 845 AM Eastern.
- 44:02SPEAKER_10: If that's not enough evidence, a plane is seen flying toward the skyline on the back cover.
- 44:07SPEAKER_10: Uh, need more proof?
- 44:08SPEAKER_10: Stanley August Misages, the Dutch millionaire who financed the band in its early days, appears to be wearing a Masonic pendant in a photograph.
- 44:16SPEAKER_10: Freemasons have been regularly accused of trying to bring about the New World Order.
- 44:21SPEAKER_10: No word, however, on why it took twenty-two years after the release of Supertramps Breakfast in America for the 9-11 plot to come to fruition.
- 44:29SPEAKER_10: I you can't see they don't have the back cover of this, but it is kind of eerie, the plane uh flying towards um uh and I think it says 8 45 AM or something.
- 44:43SPEAKER_10: I mean it's just you have to look at it and put all this stuff together and it's like But who who ha who has that time?
- 44:49SPEAKER_05: I know.
- 44:50SPEAKER_05: That's that's my thing.
- 44:51SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's like you know, who who is that big a fan of Supertramp?
- 44:54SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 44:55SPEAKER_10: Put all this together.
- 44:56SPEAKER_10: Or you know what it is?
- 44:57SPEAKER_10: It's like somebody is listening to Super Tramp and they're going, wait, dude, are those the Twin Towers?
- 45:04SPEAKER_01: Wait a minute.
- 45:05SPEAKER_01: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
- 45:08SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 45:09SPEAKER_10: Uh Jimi Hendrix was murdered.
- 45:12SPEAKER_05: I've heard that.
- 45:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 45:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 45:14SPEAKER_10: I don't think he was.
- 45:15SPEAKER_10: No, I don't know.
- 45:16SPEAKER_05: That's pretty far-fetched.
- 45:18SPEAKER_10: Uh Clatoo was really the Beatles?
- 45:21SPEAKER_10: I don't know what Clatou is.
- 45:24SPEAKER_10: Uh let me just read it real quick.
- 45:25SPEAKER_10: When Clatoo's self-titled debut arrived in the late 70s, the idea of a reunited Beatles wasn't far-fetched at all.
- 45:30SPEAKER_10: Drummer Terry Draper told Goldmine in 23, but it was But was it possible this new and initially anonymous Canadian band was actually the Reformed Beatles in disguise?
- 45:39SPEAKER_10: Okay, so there's no truth to this because the drummer actually just admitted it that it at the time it was a conspiracy theory.
- 45:46SPEAKER_10: Uh Phil Collins Let a Man Drown.
- 45:49SPEAKER_04: No.
- 45:51SPEAKER_10: Just because it says in the song.
- 45:53SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 45:54SPEAKER_10: If you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand.
- 45:56SPEAKER_05: Wrong.
- 45:57SPEAKER_10: Um Courtney Love was involved with Kurt Cobain's death.
- 46:01SPEAKER_05: There's a lot about that because just because of the su the scene of his suicide just doesn't add up.
- 46:11SPEAKER_05: So, but I don't know about if Courtney Love had anything to do with it.
- 46:19SPEAKER_10: Um word that he was going to divorce her, so he arranged the murder to retain his fortune.
- 46:24SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 46:25SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 46:25SPEAKER_05: There there's there's actually police that are that that have investigated this and they're like, it just does you know, the suicide thing does not add up.
- 46:34SPEAKER_05: Just based on the uh crime scene.
- 46:36SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 46:37SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 46:37SPEAKER_10: So um Bob Dylan stole a signature song from a student.
- 46:43SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, we heard about that one.
- 46:44SPEAKER_10: We did?
- 46:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 46:45SPEAKER_05: I think we talked about that.
- 46:47SPEAKER_10: The blowing in the wind?
- 46:48SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 46:48SPEAKER_10: Uh maybe I did, yeah.
- 46:49SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 46:50SPEAKER_05: We were talking about something else and we and this popped up.
- 46:53SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, okay, you're you're right.
- 46:55SPEAKER_10: Um let's see.
- 46:57SPEAKER_10: Jim Morrison didn't die in that bathtub.
- 47:02SPEAKER_10: Um rather than says rather than overdosing in a tub at the apartment of his girlfriend Pamela Corson, Morrison was said to have actually died in the bathroom of a nightclub he frequented called the Rock and Roll Circus.
- 47:16SPEAKER_05: Well, I watched the show.
- 47:18SPEAKER_05: Uh it was called like 24 hours before or something like that.
- 47:23SPEAKER_05: It it it cataloged all these people that had died, like the their final twenty oh, it was called final twenty-four hours or something like that.
- 47:30SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 47:30SPEAKER_05: But uh they were talking about Jim Morrison.
- 47:32SPEAKER_05: Apparently he was going through, he had like he had like weird things going on in it, you know, with him all that day, and they think it was just like a brain aneurysm.
- 47:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 47:42SPEAKER_05: So stuff like that.
- 47:43SPEAKER_10: So Stephen King killed John Lennon.
- 47:47SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 47:50SPEAKER_10: If you were certain, really certain that a famous horror writer had actually murdered John Lennon, you'd want to shout it from the rooftops, or this case, uh in the case of Steve Lightfoot during a 2009 town council meeting in Sarasota, Florida.
- 48:01SPEAKER_10: Lightfoot's theory appears to have developed around a photo of John Lennon taken on the day of his murder, which the one-time Beatles signs an autograph for Chapman, uh, Mark David Chapman.
- 48:10SPEAKER_10: Lightfoot thinks the guy in the photograph more closely resembles Stephen King.
- 48:15SPEAKER_10: He claims Lennon's murder was cleared by political figures like Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon, who'd long been angered by the outspoken artist's anti-war stance.
- 48:27SPEAKER_05: Well, that doesn't even make any sense because Reagan wasn't even president yet.
- 48:31SPEAKER_05: He was still the governor of California.
- 48:34SPEAKER_10: At the time that Lennon was murdered.
- 48:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 48:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 48:36SPEAKER_04: So what's he Will Nancy?
- 48:42SPEAKER_04: I don't like that John Lennon.
- 48:44SPEAKER_10: He's anti-war.
- 48:45SPEAKER_10: Let's kill him.
- 48:47SPEAKER_04: Makes perfect sense.
- 48:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 48:49SPEAKER_10: Uh Bon Scott posthumously wrote ACDC's next album.
- 48:55SPEAKER_05: And he did that how?
- 48:57SPEAKER_10: Well, it says ACDC's first recording without uh Bon Scott emerged as their best alb ever album, something that feels a little too good to be true for some longtime fans.
- 49:05SPEAKER_10: Surely Bon Scott must have left the band with some roadmap to success on Back in Black, they argue.
- 49:11SPEAKER_10: After all, it arrived just five months following Scott's death.
- 49:14SPEAKER_10: Stories abound that all of Scott's belongings were surrendered to his family except for a notebook of song lyrics.
- 49:20SPEAKER_10: There are rumors that members of ACDC's entourage broke into Scott's flat and took the notebook.
- 49:25SPEAKER_10: Decades later, 2017's Ball on The Last Highway, produced some evidence that Scott's contributions made it into You Shook Me All Night Long, but apparently nothing more.
- 49:34SPEAKER_10: Angus Young sought to clear things up during a Reddit AMA in 2014.
- 49:39SPEAKER_10: Anything he left went back to his family.
- 49:42SPEAKER_10: Any notes he had ever left or messages, anything that was there that was his all went to his family.
- 49:51SPEAKER_10: Look at that think about this.
- 49:53SPEAKER_10: This is a this is not a uh Well it is.
- 49:59SPEAKER_10: It's a comparison because think about what happened with Van Halen.
- 50:04SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 50:04SPEAKER_10: Okay?
- 50:05SPEAKER_10: So Van Halen, their lead singer, is either fired or or quit one or the other.
- 50:09SPEAKER_10: And they meet up with Sammy Hagar, and there's so much new energy in the room.
- 50:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 50:17SPEAKER_10: In the recording.
- 50:18SPEAKER_10: You know, Eddie's got all this music.
- 50:21SPEAKER_10: Uh Sammy is there and they're on a high and they're they re and they write 5150 in days.
- 50:27SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 50:27SPEAKER_10: If you believe the the stories.
- 50:29SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 50:29SPEAKER_10: Um and they record it in weeks as opposed to months.
- 50:32SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 50:33SPEAKER_10: Because it was so fresh and so exciting and so new.
- 50:36SPEAKER_10: Imagine ACDC.
- 50:41SPEAKER_10: They knew that they had to do a new album, or they were, you know, they were going to do a new album.
- 50:45SPEAKER_10: They probably I'm not going to say they didn't have music before Bon Scott died.
- 50:49SPEAKER_10: Oh, I'm sure they didn't.
- 50:50SPEAKER_10: Because Angus and and uh Malcolm were probably always writing music.
- 50:53SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 50:53SPEAKER_10: So they had riffs.
- 50:54SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 50:55SPEAKER_10: And they show up and and and Brian Johnson is like, holy crap, I can write to this.
- 50:59SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 51:00SPEAKER_10: And there's new energy.
- 51:01SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 51:01SPEAKER_10: And just uh, you know, they're just on fire.
- 51:05SPEAKER_10: And the album is and it's Mutt Lang produced it, right?
- 51:09SPEAKER_10: I mean, come on.
- 51:10SPEAKER_05: I mean, come on.
- 51:10SPEAKER_05: That just, you know, that just screams success.
- 51:13SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 51:13SPEAKER_10: You have to you have to think that's that's kind of the way it went down.
- 51:16SPEAKER_10: Um I'm not saying it didn't happen, but Paul McCartney's been dead for years.
- 51:20SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 51:21SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we know that one.
- 51:22SPEAKER_10: Yeah, we know that one.
- 51:23SPEAKER_10: Elvis Presley is alive.
- 51:24SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 51:25SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 51:26SPEAKER_10: Yeah, so that's that's it.
- 51:27SPEAKER_10: That's 25 greatest conspiracy theories according to ultimate classicrock.com.
- 51:32SPEAKER_03: So that's funny.
- 51:34SPEAKER_03: That's that is funny.
- 51:35SPEAKER_03: People are funny.
- 51:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 51:38SPEAKER_10: Uh okay, so while we are um before we take our break, because we're going to talk about uh we're gonna do the uh climb the uh wall of tunes.
- 51:50SPEAKER_10: Um instead of doing our Beckfinder books, because we're out We're out of Beckfinder books, but they're all right here.
- 51:57SPEAKER_10: They're right there on the shelf.
- 51:58SPEAKER_05: It's it's it's pretty.
- 51:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 51:59SPEAKER_05: Look at that.
- 52:00SPEAKER_05: Um that's a that's a history right now.
- 52:02SPEAKER_10: So we're gonna replace this.
- 52:06SPEAKER_05: Oh, it's right here.
- 52:07SPEAKER_10: Oh, is it right there still?
- 52:08SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we gotta add that to the to the uh to the um Where was it?
- 52:15SPEAKER_10: Where did I put it?
- 52:15SPEAKER_10: There we go.
- 52:17SPEAKER_10: Now we're good.
- 52:19SPEAKER_10: Um I had oh there it is.
- 52:24SPEAKER_10: We're gonna do this.
- 52:25SPEAKER_10: Okay, so it's our Michael McDonald moment.
- 52:29SPEAKER_03: Yeah! Or should we say, it's our Michael McDonald moment?
- 52:34SPEAKER_10: So we just decided to do this uh today, just before we hit record on the podcast.
- 52:42SPEAKER_10: And so I was like, what song are we gonna do?
- 52:45SPEAKER_10: Are we gonna what are we gonna talk about?
- 52:46SPEAKER_10: We didn't have anything.
- 52:47SPEAKER_10: So I happened to see something on Facebook today, this very day, which is kind of weird.
- 52:53SPEAKER_10: Um It's a conspiracy.
- 52:55SPEAKER_10: It's a conspiracy.
- 52:56SPEAKER_10: And we'll share it on our Facebook page so you know what I'm talking about.
- 52:59SPEAKER_10: But Steve Hartman, uh CBS's Steve Hartman, does these great um feel-good stories.
- 53:06SPEAKER_10: It's like the only time I like to watch the news is when Steve Hartman's stories are on.
- 53:10SPEAKER_10: And it's usually the end of the newscast because it's good, heartwarming stories.
- 53:16SPEAKER_10: Um, and I remember this story from a while back, I think it was this year, but it was early, early in the year.
- 53:25SPEAKER_10: And it was a story about this 11-year-old girl uh who fell in love with the voice, with Michael McDonald's voice.
- 53:36SPEAKER_10: Um, and she, you know, well, you have to watch the video to get the whole story, but she she fell in love with his voice and found out that he's kind of old, uh, but was okay with her.
- 53:51SPEAKER_10: Uh, she still loved him, and her dad got her tickets to the concert.
- 53:54SPEAKER_10: They went to the concert, they documented the whole thing.
- 53:57SPEAKER_10: Michael McDonald talked to her from a distance.
- 54:02SPEAKER_05: She she's so fangirling because she's like, he said thank you to me.
- 54:06SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 54:07SPEAKER_05: He looked me in the eye.
- 54:07SPEAKER_05: He looked me in the eye and said thank you to me.
- 54:10SPEAKER_10: And then so Steve Hartman followed up on the story.
- 54:14SPEAKER_10: So this is like an addendum to the story.
- 54:16SPEAKER_10: And um actually got on a Zoom call with Mike McDonald with this girl.
- 54:22SPEAKER_05: What was her is her name in the uh I can't remember where they said her name was.
- 54:29SPEAKER_10: Yeah, it's it's it's not in this part, but um, I don't think it was like Peyton or something like that.
- 54:34SPEAKER_05: Was it Amelia or something?
- 54:36SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
- 54:36SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 54:37SPEAKER_05: It was a girl's name.
- 54:37SPEAKER_10: It was a girl's name.
- 54:38SPEAKER_10: Anyway, um, so he hooked her up with a Zoom interview with Michael McDonald, which is great.
- 54:45SPEAKER_10: In that interview, Michael McDonald invites her to um a concert and to come backstage.
- 54:52SPEAKER_10: And there's footage of this whole thing, and and and she's at the concert and they they meet up and it's it's just a cool story.
- 54:59SPEAKER_05: Whereas Michael I mean, considering the age difference, I mean he's in he's well into his 70s.
- 55:05SPEAKER_05: Is he?
- 55:06SPEAKER_05: Well, yeah.
- 55:08SPEAKER_05: I think we talked about that before.
- 55:09SPEAKER_05: Did we?
- 55:09SPEAKER_05: He's like 70.
- 55:10SPEAKER_05: I think he's like 73, 74.
- 55:16SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna something like that.
- 55:17SPEAKER_10: I'm just gonna double check just because I wanna I wanna get I don't want to call him older than he is.
- 55:22SPEAKER_10: Oh, he's 71.
- 55:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 55:24SPEAKER_05: 71.
- 55:24SPEAKER_05: So, you know, he's 71 and she's 11.
- 55:28SPEAKER_10: So I mean, you know.
- 55:30SPEAKER_10: But the fact that she recognized the genius of his voice.
- 55:34SPEAKER_05: Well, I think it was just she liked his voice.
- 55:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 55:37SPEAKER_05: You know, so I mean, you know, maybe maybe the music is not as important as his voice to her.
- 55:43SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 55:43SPEAKER_05: I mean, we we enjoy both.
- 55:45SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
- 55:46SPEAKER_05: But you know, but it's still it's just a very cool story.
- 55:49SPEAKER_05: You know, it gives you hope for the you know, the Gen Z, you know.
- 55:53SPEAKER_10: It does.
- 55:54SPEAKER_10: Um, and while we're at it, I wanted to play, let's just play a piece of a song from one of his albums that I uh only because I got this album not too long ago, and I love it.
- 56:08SPEAKER_10: Uh it's called Wide Open.
- 56:10SPEAKER_10: It's very um Wide Open?
- 56:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 56:15SPEAKER_10: Let me see if I can get you a good It's not as soulful as his other stuff, but it's good pop rock music and that voice, man.
- 56:28SPEAKER_10: This one's called Ain't No Good.
- 56:45SPEAKER_10: Not gonna lie, I got it because it was on everyone for like six bucks.
- 57:09SPEAKER_10: Doesn't get radio play.
- 57:11SPEAKER_05: Because it's good and that takes talent to make money.
- 57:14SPEAKER_05: You know, they didn't make it on their laptop or put it on a movie screen.
- 57:18SPEAKER_05: So anyway.
- 57:22SPEAKER_10: Oh, let me get to the chorus.
- 57:35SPEAKER_10: 2017, still sounds good.
- 57:37SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 57:38SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 57:39SPEAKER_10: Uh okay, so that's our Michael McDonald moment.
- 57:42SPEAKER_10: We'll have another one next week, hopefully.
- 57:44SPEAKER_10: Um if we don't find something else.
- 57:48SPEAKER_05: You never know.
- 57:49SPEAKER_05: You never know.
- 57:50SPEAKER_05: Sometimes we just think of stuff and we're like, hey, why don't we do that?
- 57:55SPEAKER_05: You wanna do that?
- 57:56SPEAKER_05: Okay, I want to do that.
- 57:57SPEAKER_05: That sounds good.
- 57:58SPEAKER_05: That is the podcast.
- 58:00SPEAKER_05: Um I don't I don't wanna I don't wanna you know drop all our secrets, but we overthinking the podcast is not one of our problems.
- 58:12SPEAKER_10: Uh all right, we're gonna take a break.
- 58:14SPEAKER_10: Uh we'll hear from or about our sponsors, and um we'll come back.
- 58:19SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that would be fun.
- 58:20SPEAKER_05: What have them do their own like spots?
- 58:24SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 58:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 58:25SPEAKER_05: I think that'd be cool.
- 58:26SPEAKER_10: Um do you think Morton would do one?
- 58:28SPEAKER_05: I'd I'd like him to.
- 58:30SPEAKER_05: I don't know if he would.
- 58:31SPEAKER_05: Do you think my wife would do one?
- 58:33SPEAKER_05: No.
- 58:33SPEAKER_05: Your your wife definitely not on the place.
- 58:36SPEAKER_10: No.
- 58:36SPEAKER_10: She won't.
- 58:37SPEAKER_10: It's my voice on it right now, and I'm kind of the quote unquote vice president.
- 58:43SPEAKER_10: Well, I mean, that's slash delivery man.
- 58:45SPEAKER_10: Oh, well, that's right.
- 58:46SPEAKER_10: That's really all I do.
- 58:47SPEAKER_10: That's really all I do.
- 58:48SPEAKER_05: Even though she was delivering today.
- 58:49SPEAKER_10: She was delivering today.
- 58:50SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 58:51SPEAKER_10: So that's what I do.
- 58:52SPEAKER_05: You failed your job.
- 58:53SPEAKER_10: That's all I do for that company is delivering.
- 58:55SPEAKER_05: Vice president and delivery.
- 58:56SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 58:57SPEAKER_05: That's it.
- 58:57SPEAKER_05: That's an extreme.
- 58:58SPEAKER_05: I mean, that's just one extreme to the other.
- 59:00SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 59:00SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 59:01SPEAKER_05: That'd be like, you know, you know, Joe Biden taking out the trash at the White House, you know what I mean?
- 59:08SPEAKER_10: All right.
- 59:09SPEAKER_10: So we'll come back and we will uh climb the wall of tunes.
- 59:13SPEAKER_10: So don't move.
- 59:16SPEAKER_10: Don't move.

- 1:00:25SPEAKER_10: Oh no! Oh, wrong one.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_10: That's the one.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_10: That's the one.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_10: That's the one.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_10: Alright, so we are gonna climb the wall.
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna climb the wall of tunes.

- 1:00:38SPEAKER_05: Ah, what's this?
- 1:00:39SPEAKER_05: What are you getting started with high school choir?
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_05: This ought to be interesting.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_10: Alright, yeah, tell me what you find out.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_05: Criteria for choosing music for specific groups.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_05: Text.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_05: What value is there in the text?
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_05: Not every piece of music needs a text that is of lasting significance or a poem by a renowned poet.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_05: Sometimes the text might be repetitious or a relatively insignificant aspect of the piece.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_05: Some music that is chosen for each group, however, should have a sensitive, thoughtful text that can be discussed, contemplated, and comprehended by the students.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_05: Are the students in the choir at least somewhat able to comprehend the text meaning?
- 1:01:24SPEAKER_05: Parentheses, with help from you.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_05: I don't know what any of that means.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_10: I don't either.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_10: It's your book.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_10: I don't even know.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_10: I haven't even read it.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_05: Some ideas for introducing new music.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_05: Play an outstanding recording of the piece.
- 1:01:41SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_05: That's too deep.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_10: Alright.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_10: Let me do this first.
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna share that Michael McDonald story on our Facebook page.
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_10: Um just because well, because I can.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_03: We have the capabilities!
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_10: Let me see if it's gonna let me do this here.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_05: Uh I realize how old this book is, man.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_05: From the 90s.
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah, maybe that's why it's not working for me.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_05: Copyright 1994.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_10: I think I just shared that on the O'Brien and Doug Facebook page, probably.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_10: Alright, let's uh I have an album.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_10: I don't know that we may have done this album before, but I'm not sure.
- 1:02:33SPEAKER_03: Well, we'll find out soon enough.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_03: I hope not.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_10: So uh let the guessing begin.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_10: Is it a band?
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 1:02:44SPEAKER_05: The rock band?
- 1:02:45SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_10: Bluesy rock band.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_05: Bluesy rock band.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_05: Terrell Smith.
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_05: Nope.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_05: Jeff Healy.
- 1:02:56SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_05: You right?
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you're right.
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_01: Wow.
- 1:03:03SPEAKER_05: How did you do that?
- 1:03:04SPEAKER_05: Well, you just said bluesy rock band.
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_05: I'm like, well, Jeff Healy.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_05: Jeff Healy.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_05: How more bluesy rock band can you get?
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_10: The late great Jeff Healy, man.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_10: Um, so yeah, this was uh this was from 1990.
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_10: Have we done this?
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_05: I don't think so.
- 1:03:23SPEAKER_05: Hell to pay.
- 1:03:23SPEAKER_10: Heldepay.
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_05: I don't think so.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_05: Um I'm not even sure we did Jeff Healy.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_10: I think we have.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_10: Have we?

- 1:04:41SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_10: Did that come out before Dirty Day or uh Roadhouse or after?
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_05: It hadn't been before, because why would you put them in the movie if nobody knew who it was?
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:04:56SPEAKER_10: And and you know, on the debut album.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_10: Um looking at it, yeah.
- 1:05:06SPEAKER_10: See.
