- 1:44SPEAKER_09: The first year it was uh Do we want to go back that far?
- 1:46SPEAKER_09: Well, well, it started off, you know, it was on the phone.
- 1:49SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:50SPEAKER_09: And then then we moved to Zoom.
- 1:52SPEAKER_09: No, yeah, that's right.
- 1:53SPEAKER_09: It was on the phone first.
- 1:54SPEAKER_09: Yeah, because that that sounded well it sounded like I was, you know, you know, reporting live from Baghdad.
- 1:59unknown: Right.
- 1:59SPEAKER_09: Um, you know, it was just that quality.
- 2:02SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:02SPEAKER_09: And then the and then and then we moved to Zoom.
- 2:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 2:05SPEAKER_09: And then we did that until, you know, you know, we we we moved into the fabulous fun dungeon.
- 2:12SPEAKER_09: The fabulous fun dungeon.
- 2:13SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:14SPEAKER_06: I like that.
- 2:14SPEAKER_06: Well it was it's like we we moved we only did it until we could get together, right?
- 2:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:20SPEAKER_06: Because I think we were because of COVID, we were everybody was you know keeping their distance and stuff.
- 2:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:27SPEAKER_06: And then we found it.
- 2:27SPEAKER_09: And then after a while, we were like, yeah, screw it.
- 2:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 2:30SPEAKER_06: So so yeah, and then we we and then we we did have guests and every once in a while, and we did for a long time.
- 2:37SPEAKER_06: See, this was back when I was working at the hospital, and I was um using my time.
- 2:43SPEAKER_06: Wisely wisely.
- 2:45SPEAKER_06: I was doing I was doing my job, but my job, what a lot of people didn't know, was uh really easy.
- 2:52SPEAKER_06: And and by that I mean by that I mean I had projects that I was doing and I would work on them, but I was how can I say this without sounding cocky?
- 3:04SPEAKER_06: I was better at my job than people knew, or better at my job than I don't know.
- 3:14SPEAKER_06: Meaning I could I could work away at a project and get a lot done and then say, This is taking me forever.
- 3:26SPEAKER_06: And I would say, Oh, just take your time, there's no hurry on this.
- 3:28SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 3:29SPEAKER_06: So I'd have half of it done.
- 3:32SPEAKER_06: You know, and and I had s of course I had several projects, you know, several irons in the fire, and then but I would I would reserve part of my work day, which is probably not good to say now, but it doesn't matter because I'm not sure.
- 3:47SPEAKER_06: I'm not going back there anymore.
- 3:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 3:48SPEAKER_06: I would use part of my work day to edit our videos.
- 3:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah, right.
- 3:52SPEAKER_06: Because we would do a podcast and we would record it on video as well.
- 3:57SPEAKER_06: So I used to make promos and I used to make um well, I think we've had a couple of podcast like full podcasts that were on video.
- 4:05SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 4:05SPEAKER_06: Um, and those are on YouTube, or some of them are on on YouTube.
- 4:09SPEAKER_09: Are they?
- 4:09SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 4:09SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 4:10SPEAKER_06: I think so.
- 4:11SPEAKER_06: Um But I miss that.
- 4:15SPEAKER_06: I miss that.
- 4:15SPEAKER_06: You know, we don't have time to do that anymore.
- 4:17SPEAKER_06: Nah.
- 4:18SPEAKER_06: We we s we still have some of the we still have the equipment to do it, but you know, it's like we've got into this routine which we just kind of show up and chat and then that's it.
- 4:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah, we go.
- 4:30SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's like uh you know it's like normal conversation now.
- 4:34SPEAKER_06: It is normal conversation.
- 4:35SPEAKER_06: And you know what?
- 4:36SPEAKER_06: I I like that aspect of it because it's you know, uh like cousin Larry says, it feels like they're right in the room, the listeners are right in the room with us.
- 4:44SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 4:45SPEAKER_06: You know, I like that.
- 4:46SPEAKER_06: But I do wish we had we had more time to to invest in making uh us, you know, because we do the same thing every week.
- 4:55SPEAKER_06: We come in, we talk, we don't really edit very much, we add some things to it, and then we put it out there.
- 5:02SPEAKER_06: And uh I post it on Facebook and you know, we could be doing so much more.
- 5:06SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 5:06SPEAKER_06: We could have sponsorships, we could you know uh but we do have sponsorships.
- 5:11SPEAKER_06: Well I mean like like uh national.
- 5:15SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, we could be we you know who we should we should get sponsored by?
- 5:19SPEAKER_09: Crest.
- 5:22SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 5:23SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 5:23SPEAKER_09: Because we talk and you know uh we we do take care of our teeth.
- 5:28SPEAKER_09: Now now.
- 5:30SPEAKER_09: Um maybe maybe find some uh you know uh you know uh oh what was I watching?
- 5:39SPEAKER_09: Um I've been watching a lot of Pluto Pluto TV.
- 5:42SPEAKER_06: I love Pluto TV.
- 5:43SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's great.
- 5:43SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 5:44SPEAKER_09: But except for, you know, you have to watch commercials.
- 5:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 5:47SPEAKER_09: But it's okay, but you know, I was watching I mean, they some of these commercials for like uh med medications that are coming out.
- 5:55SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 5:57SPEAKER_09: My idea, okay, stay with me.
- 6:00SPEAKER_09: You need a medication to counteract all the side effects of those medications.
- 6:06SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 6:07SPEAKER_09: Somebody somebody should come up with that.
- 6:09SPEAKER_09: They'd be like, here, here's here's you know, here's this thing for your depression, and here's here's take this with that, it'll take care of your side effects.
- 6:19SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 6:21SPEAKER_09: So So they need to come up with every time they come up with a new drug, yeah, they should have like a generic thing that could take care of all the side effects.
- 6:29SPEAKER_09: Because I I don't know, I don't understand why your met depression medication is gonna give you a heart attack.
- 6:36SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 6:37unknown: Yeah.
- 6:37SPEAKER_09: Some something's something's not stirring to cool it.
- 6:40SPEAKER_06: Well, you know, the whole pharmaceutical industry, you know, was kind of put on its head with COVID, I think.
- 6:46SPEAKER_06: I think the whole but this was going on before.
- 6:49SPEAKER_06: I know, but but but but what I mean is people see it now.
- 6:53SPEAKER_09: Yeah, they're probably like, oh yeah.
- 6:56SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 6:57SPEAKER_06: So I don't I don't trust any of that stuff, you know.
- 7:00SPEAKER_06: I try and try and stay away from that as much as possible.
- 7:03SPEAKER_06: But you know.
- 7:04SPEAKER_06: But I think that's a good idea.
- 7:06SPEAKER_06: You know, it's like may cause this, this, this, and this, and this, but just take this and you'll be okay.
- 7:10SPEAKER_06: Take this and you'll be fine.
- 7:11SPEAKER_06: So here's here's this and this.
- 7:13SPEAKER_09: This will take care of your diabetes, and this will take care of the side effects from the medication for your diabetes.
- 7:18SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 7:19SPEAKER_06: But then you're gonna need medication to take care of that medication because it's probably gonna cause like cysts.
- 7:23SPEAKER_09: Well, that that's that's futurist problems.
- 7:25SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 7:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I'm not gonna worry about that right now.
- 7:27SPEAKER_06: Good deal.
- 7:28SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 7:28SPEAKER_09: Uh we'll get them to sponsor us.
- 7:30SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 7:31SPEAKER_09: So it'll be big.
- 7:31SPEAKER_09: We'll be we'll be a multi we'll be bigger than Stern.
- 7:36SPEAKER_06: I don't know that I want to be bigger than Stern.
- 7:38SPEAKER_06: I don't want to be Stern.
- 7:39SPEAKER_06: I don't either.
- 7:40SPEAKER_06: Um, so I I didn't want to talk about this because I have to tell you my wife was kind of fed up with me uh because I resisted this whole eclipse thing.
- 7:55SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I can tell because there were you were outside uh with your eclipse glasses.
- 8:00SPEAKER_09: Well so you you basically sold out.
- 8:03SPEAKER_06: I did.
- 8:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 8:04SPEAKER_06: I did, yeah, because I was like I didn't I didn't really care.
- 8:07SPEAKER_06: Okay, did they let school out?
- 8:10SPEAKER_06: Uh it was a half day.
- 8:12SPEAKER_06: Uh and so so here's the thing.
- 8:14SPEAKER_09: Okay, they really screwed up.
- 8:16SPEAKER_06: Why?
- 8:17SPEAKER_09: They missed a golden opportunity for what?
- 8:20SPEAKER_09: For education.
- 8:21SPEAKER_09: It was a total solar eclipse.
- 8:23SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 8:24SPEAKER_09: You could have what they could have done is gone into school later and stayed a little later.
- 8:30SPEAKER_09: And then did like a classroom outside or something.
- 8:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
- 8:33SPEAKER_09: I mean, they really screwed the pooch.
- 8:35unknown: Yeah.
- 8:35SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
- 8:41SPEAKER_08: Okay, go home.
- 8:44SPEAKER_06: They really they really screwed up.
- 8:46SPEAKER_06: You're right.
- 8:47SPEAKER_06: You're right.
- 8:47SPEAKER_06: They really screwed up.
- 8:48SPEAKER_06: But any chance a teacher has to have the day off, or at least half the day.
- 8:50SPEAKER_09: Well, that's what I was thinking.
- 8:51SPEAKER_09: I was like, I I I was like, somebody somebody said it was a teacher work day.
- 8:55SPEAKER_09: I was like, yeah, that's a teacher workshop.
- 8:57SPEAKER_06: Well, here's the thing.
- 8:58SPEAKER_06: So originally we had a um um professional development day scheduled for last Friday.
- 9:08SPEAKER_06: That was worked into the schedule.
- 9:09SPEAKER_06: So we would have had a half day on Friday anyway.
- 9:12SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 9:13SPEAKER_06: Period.
- 9:13SPEAKER_09: This past Friday.
- 9:14SPEAKER_06: This past Friday.
- 9:15SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 9:15SPEAKER_06: And they said, hey, you know, what if we move that to Monday?
- 9:19SPEAKER_06: We could still do we could still have our professional day, uh, but the kids could out get out and see the the eclipse.
- 9:26SPEAKER_06: Okay, yeah, let's do that.
- 9:27SPEAKER_06: So they just moved it to Monday.
- 9:29SPEAKER_06: So it was it was scheduled.
- 9:31SPEAKER_06: They didn't they didn't let the kids out.
- 9:33SPEAKER_06: Well, I say they didn't let the kids out specifically for the eclipse, but they did kind of.
- 9:37SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, that's the way it that's the way it looked.
- 9:40SPEAKER_06: Right it that is the way it looked.
- 9:41SPEAKER_06: But but it was it was scheduled.
- 9:43SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I was just like it was just like they shut everything.
- 9:44SPEAKER_09: It was like it was like uh you know, for a while.
- 9:48SPEAKER_09: I mean, like they shut down the grocery stores, they were shutting down doctors' offices.
- 9:51SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 9:51SPEAKER_09: So it was like, if you have a heart attack during the eclipse, you're screwed.
- 9:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 9:55SPEAKER_09: You're not gonna get any any treatment because everybody's outside looking at the sun.
- 9:58SPEAKER_06: Well, I'll tell you what.
- 9:59SPEAKER_06: So so I resisted the whole time.
- 10:01SPEAKER_06: I thought the whole thing was was I didn't think it was stupid, but I just was like, you know what was stupid was all the commercials and the hype, the hype was so stupid.
- 10:12SPEAKER_06: And I got I was just sick of it.
- 10:14SPEAKER_06: I was like, I'm not and my my wife, late in the game, made some glow in the dark t-shirts to sell, right?
- 10:22SPEAKER_06: And you know, so I helped her sell those and the kids helped her sell those and blah blah blah.
- 10:26SPEAKER_06: And she says, Do you want one?
- 10:28SPEAKER_06: I'm like, No.
- 10:30SPEAKER_06: I don't.
- 10:31SPEAKER_06: And and then I she's like, Where are your where are your the the day of?
- 10:35SPEAKER_06: She's like, Where are your glasses?
- 10:37SPEAKER_06: Your um, you know, viewing glasses.
- 10:39SPEAKER_06: I'm like, I don't I don't need I'm not gonna look, I'm not even gonna look at it.
- 10:42SPEAKER_06: I don't want to look at it.
- 10:43SPEAKER_06: She's like, Oh, come on.
- 10:44SPEAKER_06: So she was getting kind of fed up with me, you know, oh you poopy pants or fuddy duddy or whatever, you know.
- 10:51SPEAKER_06: And and so if she actually used the word poopy pants, she did not use poopy pants.
- 10:56SPEAKER_06: I was about to say, we're just censored.
- 10:58SPEAKER_06: I don't remember what she said, but it was something like that, but it wasn't.
- 11:02SPEAKER_06: Anyway.
- 11:02SPEAKER_06: Uh neither here nor there.
- 11:05SPEAKER_06: Um you call him Teresa.
- 11:08SPEAKER_09: Ha ha ha, that's a good one.
- 11:10SPEAKER_06: I forgot she was here.
- 11:13SPEAKER_06: Um, it was like because my my daughter would be like, Dad, are you gonna are you gonna come out?
- 11:20SPEAKER_06: And I'm like, nah.
- 11:21SPEAKER_06: Dad is being um I can't remember what she said.
- 11:26SPEAKER_06: Anyway, it doesn't matter what she said.
- 11:27SPEAKER_06: But uh I was I was being obstinate and I was just like, I I didn't want to I don't want to take part in it because it's a it's a trend and I don't like trends.
- 11:35SPEAKER_06: Yeah you know but you know I'm still my daughter wanted me to kind of go out there on the porch, you know, and so I did.
- 11:43SPEAKER_06: And then my wife's like, here, put the glasses on.
- 11:46SPEAKER_06: I was like, No, I don't want to put the glass, put the glass I don't want to put the glass, put the glass, okay.
- 11:50SPEAKER_06: I'll put the glasses on, you know, and then it started to get dark, and I was like, this is actually kind of cool.
- 11:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, and I was and then it got darker, and I'm like, wow, this is this is actually kind of neat.
- 12:02SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it was it was cool.
- 12:04SPEAKER_06: I put my glasses on and I looked up and I was like, holy crap, that's pretty cool.
- 12:08SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:09SPEAKER_06: You know, so I think had it not been for the hype, I might have enjoyed the whole process more.
- 12:18SPEAKER_06: You know, I I the the hype is what what really bothered me.
- 12:21SPEAKER_06: But the actual eclipse was pretty impressive.
- 12:24SPEAKER_06: It was impressive, yeah.
- 12:26SPEAKER_09: I remember because I was working and you know, I kept looking out the window and kept getting darker and darker.
- 12:31SPEAKER_09: And so I was waiting for when you could look at it without glasses.
- 12:34SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:35SPEAKER_06: So like that two minutes of three.
- 12:36SPEAKER_09: I was literally I was literally the only one in the office.
- 12:39SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:39SPEAKER_09: Nobody everybody else had gone home, right?
- 12:41SPEAKER_09: Nobody was coming in.
- 12:42SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 12:42SPEAKER_09: And I was like, this is the stupidest day.
- 12:44SPEAKER_09: I've s you know, I've seen people come in in three feet of snow.
- 12:48SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 12:48SPEAKER_09: But nobody was coming in for this, right?
- 12:50SPEAKER_09: You know, yeah.
- 12:51SPEAKER_09: So finally when it when the time came, I went out out to the back in the park in the parking lot, and I was like, This is creepy.
- 12:59SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 13:00SPEAKER_09: You know, because it was dark and I could see stars, and then you know, there was like a ring of fire in the sky.
- 13:06SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 13:06SPEAKER_09: You know?
- 13:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 13:07SPEAKER_09: And you know, like all the street lights had come on, and I'm like, whoa.
- 13:12SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 13:12SPEAKER_09: And then I bet this is what Armageddon's gonna look like.
- 13:14SPEAKER_06: And then like ten minutes later it was sunny again.
- 13:16SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and then the one of us was like, no, hey, hey, that's over.
- 13:19SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it was cool.
- 13:20SPEAKER_09: I I I equated it to the first time you do it, you know, because it's really exciting getting up to it, and then it's over.
- 13:29SPEAKER_06: I suppose that's true.
- 13:30SPEAKER_09: It's totally true.
- 13:31SPEAKER_09: You think about it.
- 13:31SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 13:32SPEAKER_09: You think about it.
- 13:32SPEAKER_09: Yep, I suppose that's true.
- 13:34SPEAKER_09: Well, you know, whatever.
- 13:35SPEAKER_06: Um and I was like, because they were they were like preparing for twenty to thirty thousand people to come to this area, and I was like, they're not gonna get twenty to thirty thousand people.
- 13:46SPEAKER_06: And I think they had quite a few though.
- 13:48SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, they did because and I think Holton had the lion's share.
- 13:54SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 13:54SPEAKER_06: Because I think that was the probably like the best viewing place.
- 13:57SPEAKER_09: Well, I think they told him that there's nothing north of Holton, so don't go that way.
- 14:02SPEAKER_09: Well, I would say it's like when the old time to old timey maps, it's like there be dragons.
- 14:06SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 14:07SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 14:08SPEAKER_06: Well, I I took a ride, so I left for it was either lunch or I was going from one school to the to the next, uh, around lunchtime anyway.
- 14:17SPEAKER_06: And I drove through town, and there were a ton of people in town that I didn't recognize and that were, you know, obviously not from here.
- 14:25SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 14:25SPEAKER_06: Um, I remember so on on Sunday, uh so tre Teresa made the uh shirts, and again, it was late in the game.
- 14:34SPEAKER_06: She is incredibly busy.
- 14:37SPEAKER_06: And she's got all these orders that she's gotta fill, but she wanted to make shirts, and she had this cool design, and it was glow in the dark, and nobody was doing glow in the dark shirts.
- 14:47SPEAKER_06: And so she made up some and she's like, Okay, well, what are we gonna do with them?
- 14:53SPEAKER_06: You know, because it's it's it's like Saturday.
- 14:56SPEAKER_06: You know, we can't sell 'em.
- 14:58SPEAKER_06: And and I said, Well and the Knights of Columbus, I'm a knight, so the Knights of Columbus had a barbecue, not a barbecue, but a but a lunch that you know Was it a barbecue there?
- 15:08SPEAKER_06: It was burgers and dogs and so it was a barbecue.
- 15:11SPEAKER_06: So I guess I suppose it was a barbecue.
- 15:13SPEAKER_06: Um wasn't filet mignon.
- 15:15SPEAKER_06: Well, we had so we had that uh at the at the KFC hall, and um it was for it was kind of capitalizing on the the influx of people, right?
- 15:24SPEAKER_06: Oh sure, you know, and so you know, some people were coming in from the church and and everything.
- 15:30SPEAKER_06: Sorry, I almost I almost bought it.
- 15:32SPEAKER_09: Um if you had fallen and hurting yourself, I would laugh.

- 17:56SPEAKER_06: Well, at the other thing, at the totality party and just like pop out from behind and be like, hey, I see you And not to be completely uh a downer on this, but um because the other cool thing that came out of it was it was something that brought the country together, or at least parts of the country together, you know, because it was it was a neat um you know, that people were were kind of united around this thing.

- 19:43SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 19:44SPEAKER_06: Um so I want to talk about a couple things.
- 19:48SPEAKER_06: Um first of all, let's see, who else was it?
- 19:52SPEAKER_06: So CJ Snare, uh, the lead singer of Firehouse.
- 19:55SPEAKER_06: Actually, do I have any?
- 19:57SPEAKER_06: Hold on, because I want to play this while while we're talking about it, because this was a surprise to a lot of people.
- 20:05SPEAKER_06: Um but it but for a lot of people it wasn't a surprise because apparently CJ Snare, uh you may recognize like um the lead singer of Firehouse.
- 20:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 20:20SPEAKER_06: Had been fighting cancer for a while.
- 20:22SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I didn't know that.
- 20:23SPEAKER_06: I don't yeah, I don't know that the they kept it pretty quiet.
- 20:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah, apparently.
- 20:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because I don't think a lot of the fans knew that.
- 20:29SPEAKER_06: Or unless they're like diehard fans, but kind of like Neil Pearrett when he passed away.
- 20:33SPEAKER_09: Right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 20:35SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 20:37SPEAKER_06: They had a pretty great run there in the early 90s.
- 20:40SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, they had maybe I don't know, three or four hits on, but they were big stones.
- 20:46SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, yeah, this is one of them.
- 21:19SPEAKER_06: Maybe I won't tell you.
- 21:22SPEAKER_06: Oh, I didn't realize that.
- 21:23SPEAKER_06: What?
- 21:24SPEAKER_06: Did you know?
- 21:24SPEAKER_06: I think I bet you probably did.
- 21:26SPEAKER_09: Perry Richardson.
- 21:28SPEAKER_09: Well, he was in a firehouse.
- 21:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I didn't know that.
- 21:30SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
- 21:33SPEAKER_06: Of course.
- 21:33SPEAKER_06: Oh, speaking of that, I gotta play you that, but I bet you've already heard it.
- 21:36SPEAKER_06: Hold on.
- 21:37SPEAKER_06: Let me let me get to this first.
- 21:39SPEAKER_06: Um trying to think.
- 21:41SPEAKER_06: I'm trying to read as I go.
- 21:44SPEAKER_06: Success in this uh firehouse was met with much critical acclaim.
- 21:47SPEAKER_06: America Music Award for Best Hard Rock Heavy Metal Band in 1992.

- 21:57SPEAKER_06: Okay, hold on.
- 22:00SPEAKER_06: The first album sold over two million copies in the US.
- 22:05SPEAKER_06: Uh nope, I guess the first single from the album was this one.
- 22:15SPEAKER_06: I don't I don't even remember this being I don't remember that I didn't know on the radio now.
- 22:20SPEAKER_09: Um I didn't hear this till I got the album.
- 22:25SPEAKER_09: I don't need this.
- 22:33SPEAKER_06: The first single taken tumble enjoyed success on the radio.
- 22:37SPEAKER_06: I brought attention to the band but failed to chart.
- 22:39SPEAKER_06: Oh, that's why.
- 22:41SPEAKER_10: Um anyway.
- 22:47SPEAKER_06: Uh the big one from this album, besides Don't Treat Me Bad, was this one.
- 22:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah, the thing for the the ballads.
- 22:56SPEAKER_06: It says Love of a Lifetime.
- 22:57SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.

- 23:05SPEAKER_06: Remember that one?
- 23:06SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 23:07SPEAKER_06: I think there was another one off Hold Your Fire.
- 23:10SPEAKER_06: They had like three albums, three or four yeah, they didn't have many albums, no.
- 23:14SPEAKER_06: But they're still out, they were still up.
- 23:15SPEAKER_06: Wow, yeah.
- 23:20SPEAKER_06: But everybody paid tribute to CJ Snare and saying that he was like the nicest guy in Rock and Rock.
- 23:25SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's whatever, yeah.
- 23:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah, nobody had anything bad to say about it.
- 23:27SPEAKER_09: Nope.
- 23:28SPEAKER_09: Nope.
- 23:31SPEAKER_06: Well that's that's a bummer.
- 23:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 23:33SPEAKER_06: Um there was something else I was gonna say.
- 23:36SPEAKER_06: Oh.
- 23:37SPEAKER_06: So we were talking about Perry Richardson and Striper, right?
- 23:41SPEAKER_06: Um Have you heard?
- 23:45SPEAKER_06: You must have because I know you're on social media, uh, but you're not on very often, I guess.
- 23:51SPEAKER_06: Maybe.
- 23:52SPEAKER_06: I I'm on it, but I don't pay any attention to anything unless it's really Have you well, I mean, Michael Sweet shared this.
- 23:59SPEAKER_06: Uh the for King and Country.
- 24:01SPEAKER_06: Did you hear that yet?
- 24:02SPEAKER_09: Oh, I saw it.
- 24:03SPEAKER_09: I didn't listen to it.
- 24:04SPEAKER_06: You didn't listen to it?
- 24:05SPEAKER_06: No.
- 24:05SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 24:05SPEAKER_06: Alright, hold on.
- 24:06SPEAKER_06: I want to see if I can find it because I actually think it's really cool.
- 24:11SPEAKER_06: Um I'm talking off microphone, sorry.
- 24:15SPEAKER_06: Um it's it's do you know what it is?
- 24:20SPEAKER_06: No, I have no idea.
- 24:21SPEAKER_06: You have no idea.
- 24:21SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 24:21SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 24:22SPEAKER_09: King of the country is like a band, right?
- 24:24SPEAKER_09: They're a Christian band.
- 24:24SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah.
- 24:26SPEAKER_09: They did like they did a remake of something.
- 24:30SPEAKER_09: Like I said, I see all these things, but I don't really pay attention.
- 24:35SPEAKER_06: Um, you're gonna like this.
- 24:39SPEAKER_06: So I'm just gonna I'm just I'll I'll just play it.
- 24:43SPEAKER_06: Tell me.
- 24:44SPEAKER_06: Welcome to Sapphire.
- 24:45SPEAKER_06: That's not it.
- 24:45SPEAKER_06: Uh that was pretty good.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: I got some battles, I got some issues, I got some problems, I got some trauma.
- 24:57SPEAKER_06: The rapper is named Lecrae.
- 25:00SPEAKER_09: Yeah, he's kind of a call on Father, he's giving me purpose, he's giving me therapy.
- 25:04SPEAKER_09: But he calls himself a Christian rapper, but fear me feel like the penalty's gonna take care of it.
- 25:08SPEAKER_09: His theology is a little bit twisted.
- 25:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah, apparently if we're king and country, we're huge are huge fans of striper.
- 25:57SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 25:58SPEAKER_06: And that's that's where they kind of gain their feet game too.
- 26:05SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna be too I'm ready to get it.
- 26:08SPEAKER_06: It's what watching and listening to striper still be living in the streets.
- 26:12SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but there's it gets better.
- 26:16SPEAKER_06: So what you if you to Hell with the Devil is a striper song.
- 26:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, like one of their biggest.
- 26:22SPEAKER_06: So they're they're using the core.
- 26:34SPEAKER_09: Where are they getting the striper photo?
- 26:43SPEAKER_06: There's a movie, there's a documentary comment.
- 26:46SPEAKER_09: Oh, this is a from the end.
- 26:48SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 26:54SPEAKER_05: Watch this.
- 27:03SPEAKER_00: I scared me.
- 27:04SPEAKER_00: I was nervous.
- 27:05SPEAKER_00: Is that supposed to happen?
- 27:06SPEAKER_06: Oh, never mind.
- 27:07SPEAKER_06: They didn't play the whole thing.
- 27:10SPEAKER_09: That was a trailer for the movie or for their album.
- 27:14SPEAKER_06: For the uh movie, I think.
- 27:16SPEAKER_06: Hold on.
- 27:17SPEAKER_09: Because there's one well, I know they've been they they filmed this documentary a while ago.
- 27:22SPEAKER_06: Yeah, there's one thing that was missing.
- 27:25SPEAKER_06: I read the end of this time to Here we go.
- 27:33SPEAKER_06: Michael Sweet, guitar solo.
- 27:53SPEAKER_05: What just happened to the sound there?
- 27:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it looks like well, but Michael Sweet shared shared that guitar solo, uh, but it was actually him playing it in the video.
- 28:11SPEAKER_06: So I don't I'm not sure why it's not in the video we just saw.
- 28:14SPEAKER_06: So but it's it's I thought it was pretty cool.
- 28:16SPEAKER_06: I did I didn't uh I don't usually like when when that stuff happens when they kind of cop something from somebody, but it's kind of a tribute because it's I think it's incorporated with the movie.
- 28:26SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 28:27SPEAKER_06: I'm I'm pretty sure that's the way it goes.
- 28:28SPEAKER_06: But for King and Country were uh just kind of gushing about Stryper and how how big of an influence they were uh when they were kids.
- 28:37SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 28:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 28:39SPEAKER_09: Well that's a I like that.
- 28:40SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 28:40SPEAKER_09: I should have paid attention then.
- 28:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 28:42SPEAKER_06: Um I I would play you Michael Sweet's um Um video on Instagram, but I can't seem to get this seat to work.
- 28:50SPEAKER_09: So you're having a hard time sitting over there.
- 28:52SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 28:53SPEAKER_09: I just I think your chair, your chair is foobar, man.
- 28:56SPEAKER_06: I think all my wheels are in in there, right?
- 28:58SPEAKER_09: Uh look like they are.
- 28:59SPEAKER_06: Yeah, all the wheels are there.
- 29:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think so.
- 29:01SPEAKER_06: I'm not really sure.
- 29:02SPEAKER_06: And then I got I'm gonna have to get a new arm for this microphone because this is Well, look how look how bent it is.
- 29:08SPEAKER_09: Well, you just you literally just pulled it out of the thing.
- 29:11SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, no, I know.
- 29:12SPEAKER_06: I I I can I can do that, but see that.
- 29:15SPEAKER_06: It is it is a little uh is a little bent.
- 29:17SPEAKER_06: So I'm gonna do it.
- 29:18SPEAKER_09: Well we'll put it we'll we'll we'll uh put it in the budget.
- 29:20SPEAKER_09: We'll get it, we'll get a new sponsorship for some new equipment.
- 29:24SPEAKER_09: Will we?
- 29:24SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I'm from somebody.
- 29:30SPEAKER_09: Uh maybe somebody will make a drug and they'll wanna we'll we'll promote it.
- 29:34SPEAKER_09: Hey Doug, I heard your gums are bleeding.
- 29:37SPEAKER_09: We have a drug for that.
- 29:38SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 29:40SPEAKER_06: Um the other thing I want to talk about is uh there's a slew of veteran acts announcing tours.
- 29:48SPEAKER_09: Did you just use slew?
- 29:49SPEAKER_09: SLU.
- 29:50SPEAKER_09: Wow.
- 29:50SPEAKER_06: There's a slew.
- 29:51SPEAKER_09: Man.
- 29:52SPEAKER_09: The word of the day is slew.
- 29:56SPEAKER_06: A slew of veteran acts.
- 29:58SPEAKER_09: Ah because I said it?
- 30:03SPEAKER_09: Yeah, the word of the day, Pee Wee Herm, remember?
- 30:05SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 30:07SPEAKER_06: Ah There are a bunch of veteran acts that are going out on tour, and um there are a bunch of veteran acts that are on farewell tours.
- 30:27SPEAKER_06: And there are a few veteran acts that have already said goodbye but are coming back.
- 30:34SPEAKER_09: Oh, of course.
- 30:34SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's all about the money.
- 30:36SPEAKER_06: Yeah, yeah, I mean It's all about the Benjamins, babies.
- 30:39SPEAKER_06: You know, uh our our buddy Eddie Trunk said, you know, you're you're kidding yourself when when a band if you believe when a band comes out and says it's our farewell tour and we're not we're not gonna do it anymore, you're kidding yourself if you believe that.
- 30:49SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's it's it's crap.
- 30:51SPEAKER_06: Because uh number one, this is what they've done all of their lives, and so it's in their blood.
- 30:58SPEAKER_06: So if they stop for a nice rest, they're eventually gonna want to go back and do it again.
- 31:04SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 31:05SPEAKER_06: You know, it's just human nature, I think.
- 31:07SPEAKER_09: And but it's the only way to make money in music now is to tour.
- 31:11SPEAKER_06: It is.
- 31:11SPEAKER_09: So it makes complete sense that you know we're going out, we're we're gonna we're gonna be eighty years old and still out on tour.
- 31:18SPEAKER_06: And you know, we we've talked about this before, but a lot of people are selling their catalogs.
- 31:21SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 31:21SPEAKER_06: You know, um, and one of the reasons they're selling their catalogs is because they're not making money money from it.
- 31:27SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 31:28SPEAKER_06: Because Spotify doesn't pay diddly.
- 31:32SPEAKER_06: And um, so the only way that they can make money is if they sell their entire catalog for a big hunk of money, that way whoever buys it, whether the whether it's a marketing firm or you know, whoever it is, yeah, they can use it for commercials, they can use it for anything they want.
- 31:48SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 31:49SPEAKER_06: You know, because they have they now have the rights to it.
- 31:51SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 31:52SPEAKER_06: And the the artist has a big paycheck.
- 31:54SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 31:55SPEAKER_06: You know, a one-time paycheck.
- 31:57SPEAKER_09: That's that's the thing, man.
- 31:58SPEAKER_09: I mean, you can sell your catalog and then you know they can be used your music in a commercial, you're not gonna see any money from royalties or anything.
- 32:05SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 32:05SPEAKER_06: But the people that are usually usually the people that are selling those catalogs are 70, 80 years old.
- 32:12SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I mean, they're not gonna they they got nothing.
- 32:14SPEAKER_06: Right, you know, right.
- 32:15SPEAKER_06: Can't take it with you.
- 32:16SPEAKER_06: Unless you want I mean, they want to look out for their family, you know.
- 32:19SPEAKER_06: And they have made their money.
- 32:20SPEAKER_06: Mo for most of them.
- 32:21SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 32:21SPEAKER_09: I mean hopefully they've, you know, you know, planned for the future, but you know.
- 32:27SPEAKER_06: But you know, there's no you're right, there's no other way right now to make money in the music business but to tour.
- 32:35SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 32:35SPEAKER_06: And so uh I'm just going over a couple of these.
- 32:38SPEAKER_06: Um Smashing Pumpkins uh are coming out with a new tour.
- 32:42SPEAKER_06: Uh I'm just announcing some of these.
- 32:45SPEAKER_09: But they're not even that old.
- 32:46SPEAKER_09: They're not they still got probably good twenty twenty years of touring left in.
- 32:50SPEAKER_06: I'm just looking at the like some of the headlines.
- 32:52SPEAKER_06: Eddie Vetter contemplates the end of the road for Pearl Jam.
- 32:56SPEAKER_09: Nice.
- 32:57SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 32:57SPEAKER_09: Um but that might be for a different reason, too.
- 33:00SPEAKER_09: True.
- 33:00SPEAKER_09: You know.
- 33:01SPEAKER_06: Uh Jeff Lynn's ELO uh adding more dates to their final tour.
- 33:06SPEAKER_09: Well, of course, you know.
- 33:07SPEAKER_06: You know?
- 33:08SPEAKER_06: Absolutely.
- 33:09SPEAKER_06: Um let's see.
- 33:10SPEAKER_06: Hart adds more than 30 dates to the their 2024 tour.
- 33:15SPEAKER_06: Uh Foreigner adds farewell tour dates with Lover Boy and Lita Ford.
- 33:20SPEAKER_06: So we knew Foreigner was supposedly going away.

- 33:41SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 33:42SPEAKER_06: Uh, for the most part.
- 33:43SPEAKER_06: Uh let's see.
- 33:45SPEAKER_06: Um John Oates has got a new solo album coming out.
- 33:50SPEAKER_06: I don't know why, because you can't make money from it.

- 34:05SPEAKER_06: I'm just saying.
- 34:06SPEAKER_06: Whoever bought it can dress up as KISS if they want to, right?
- 34:08SPEAKER_09: Well, I mean, if you buy the right, I mean, if it's out there, if you if you if you sell it and I do it, man, that's on you, man.

- 34:35SPEAKER_06: I don't care.
- 34:37SPEAKER_08: That's too funny.
- 34:38SPEAKER_06: He says the government can no longer ignore the volume of sightings and reported abductions.
- 34:43SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 34:45SPEAKER_06: Um back to the Trent Reznor thing, he takes aim at Spotify and Apple, calling them bad for art.
- 34:52SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I can't I you can't argue with it.

- 36:44SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 36:44SPEAKER_06: Or Deep Purple, comma, yes.
- 36:46SPEAKER_06: Comma, yes.
- 36:47SPEAKER_06: Deep Purple Comma.
- 36:48SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 36:48SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 36:49SPEAKER_06: Yes, Deep Purple.
- 36:50SPEAKER_06: Um the only original member, Steve Howe is the only original member in Yes.
- 36:54SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 36:54SPEAKER_06: Now and I would say if you have a chance to go see Deep Purple, do it now.
- 36:58SPEAKER_06: Simon McBride is playing guitar for them and he's amazing.
- 37:02SPEAKER_06: Amazing.
- 37:03SPEAKER_06: Um but they haven't they haven't said that it's uh a final tour.
- 37:10SPEAKER_09: Well, they're probably learning their lesson from everybody else.
- 37:12SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 37:13SPEAKER_06: So that's probably true.
- 37:15SPEAKER_06: That's all I got for you.
- 37:16SPEAKER_06: Uh I d I kind of want to to read what Trent Reznor has to say because I Well, Trent Reznor is a very smart man.
- 37:23SPEAKER_06: Well, that's I I kind of have a lot of respect for even though, you know, I mean, he's like I remember when that song Closer came out from 9 Inch Nails, and and I although I love the groove, I was just like, what the you know, he's coming out and saying this, and it's just kind of a provocative, you know, lyrics for the song Closer.
- 37:42SPEAKER_06: I wanna be like an animal.
- 37:45SPEAKER_06: I love the groove and the music is amazing, you know.
- 37:47SPEAKER_06: Um but I was that always turned me off, you know, a little bit.
- 37:52SPEAKER_06: But you're right, he's a genius.
- 37:54SPEAKER_06: I mean he's really, really intelligent.
- 37:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 37:56SPEAKER_06: And I kind of have a lot of respect for what he has to say about things like this.
- 38:01SPEAKER_06: Um so he said during a recent interview with GQ, I think the terrible payout of streaming services has mortally wounded a whole tier of artists that make being an artist unsustainable.
- 38:12SPEAKER_06: And it's great if you're multi-platinum rapper Drake, and it's not great if you're indie rock group Grizzly Bear.
- 38:18SPEAKER_06: Uh, to those who argue the streaming structure will eventually sort itself out, Reznor has a clear message.
- 38:23SPEAKER_06: The reality is, take a look around.
- 38:26SPEAKER_06: We've had enough time for the whole all the boats rise argument to see they don't all rise.
- 38:32SPEAKER_06: Uh those boats rise, these boats don't.
- 38:35SPEAKER_06: They can't make money in any means, and I think that's bad for art.
- 38:40SPEAKER_06: The irony is that Reznor once worked for one of streaming's biggest companies.
- 38:44SPEAKER_06: In 2013, he joined with music executive Jimmy Iavine at Beats Music.
- 38:50SPEAKER_06: Was later taken over by Apple Music, where Reznor maintained a prominent role.
- 38:54SPEAKER_06: Uh, he said he learned from the experience.
- 38:57SPEAKER_06: I thought maybe at Apple there could be influence to pay in a more fair or significant way because a lot of these services are just a rounding error compared to what comes in elsewhere.
- 39:08SPEAKER_06: Unlike Spotify, where their whole business is that.
- 39:11SPEAKER_06: But that's tied to a lot of other political things and label issues, and everyone's trying to hold on to their little piece of the pie, and it is what it is.
- 39:19SPEAKER_06: I also realize I think that people just want to turn the faucet on and have music come in.
- 39:23SPEAKER_06: They're not really concerned about all the romantic stuff he didn't use the word stuff, I thought mattered.
- 39:31SPEAKER_09: So he has a has a point there because a couple of points.
- 39:36SPEAKER_06: One of them is people regular people like you and I I mean I I care, but regular people don't care.
- 39:43SPEAKER_09: That that was my I was gonna say that exactly.
- 39:46SPEAKER_09: I mean, they're just they they want music.
- 39:48SPEAKER_09: They don't care that nobody's getting paid for it.
- 39:50SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 39:51SPEAKER_09: You know, it it it's not any skin off their back.
- 39:53SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 39:54SPEAKER_09: So they're getting music for free.
- 39:57SPEAKER_06: The reason Spotify is doing so well is because everybody's using it.
- 40:01SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 40:02SPEAKER_06: You know, everybody's using it because it's one of the only games in town.
- 40:06SPEAKER_06: Um and if if I want to listen to my playlist, I put it on Spotify and I listen to my playlist.
- 40:12SPEAKER_06: I don't care that nobody's getting paid for it.
- 40:15SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 40:15SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 40:16SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 40:16SPEAKER_06: So and and can you can you fault them for that?
- 40:22SPEAKER_06: You know, I mean, you you're you're getting your music, you're just getting it differently than you would before.
- 40:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I mean, well, it's the new uh it's the new thing.
- 40:32SPEAKER_09: I mean nobody goes out and buys CDs or records or Except us.
- 40:36SPEAKER_09: Except us.
- 40:37SPEAKER_09: I think we're singer-handedly keeping the uh Right.
- 40:40SPEAKER_06: Although you know I went into uh Wally World the other day and you know their their vinyl uh collection has grown.
- 40:51SPEAKER_06: I mean it's it's still not not big and it's not very I suppose it's kind of diverse, but it's bigger, and the CDs are like next to nothing now.
- 41:02SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's it's really getting rid of the CDs.
- 41:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know, they're reverting it's a trend.
- 41:09SPEAKER_09: Well it isn't that's the thing.
- 41:10SPEAKER_09: It's you know, it's not I don't think this is sustainable.
- 41:13SPEAKER_09: I don't either.
- 41:14SPEAKER_09: You know, I don't I think eventually everybody's gonna get bored of vinyl and then go on to something else.
- 41:19SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 41:19SPEAKER_09: You know, I don't I don't know what the next thing's gonna be.
- 41:22SPEAKER_09: I mean, I don't where where do you go from now?
- 41:24SPEAKER_09: Right back to laser discs.
- 41:26unknown: Right.
- 41:27SPEAKER_09: You know, I j I don't know.
- 41:28SPEAKER_09: Where do you go where do we go?
- 41:30SPEAKER_06: I you know, I maintain I maintain I like the C D.
- 41:34SPEAKER_09: I love the C D.
- 41:35SPEAKER_09: You know, I uh because it didn't break like a cassette.
- 41:40SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 41:40SPEAKER_09: You know, you didn't you know if it if it you know if it got caught in your thing, you know, you didn't have to get a pencil and wind it back up.
- 41:46SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 41:47SPEAKER_09: You know, but if you scratched it, you were screwed.
- 41:49SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 41:49SPEAKER_09: So I mean there was that.
- 41:51SPEAKER_06: But you you can't take a vinyl record with you in the car.
- 41:55SPEAKER_09: I I tend to disagree.
- 41:58SPEAKER_06: I mean, play it.
- 41:59SPEAKER_09: Well John no, yeah.
- 42:00SPEAKER_09: John Lennon had it uh had one in his in his uh car.
- 42:03SPEAKER_09: A record player.
- 42:04SPEAKER_09: A record player, yeah.
- 42:06SPEAKER_09: I I don't know how well it worked.
- 42:07SPEAKER_09: I mean, I wasn't there.
- 42:08SPEAKER_09: Oh, I didn't know.
- 42:09SPEAKER_09: I just saw pictures of it.
- 42:10SPEAKER_09: I didn't know that.
- 42:11SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it sat it sat on the center console.
- 42:13SPEAKER_09: He had a record player.
- 42:14SPEAKER_09: Interesting.
- 42:15SPEAKER_09: In his car, yeah.
- 42:16SPEAKER_09: Interesting.
- 42:17SPEAKER_06: Um you know CDs, I used to, you know, you you could bring your CDs with you in the car.
- 42:23SPEAKER_09: Oh, you remember those big like friggin' books?
- 42:25SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 42:25SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you just you'd be like, drop flip, you know, throw it from through, oh what are this?
- 42:31SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 42:31SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 42:32SPEAKER_06: Exactly.
- 42:32SPEAKER_06: And now, like because I you know, you have the Bluetooth in the car, and I do have Spotify, I have the free version of Spotify.
- 42:38SPEAKER_06: Uh, and you know, I have playlists and uh say I want to hear a specific song.
- 42:43SPEAKER_06: I'll probably have to go to YouTube to get it because I don't at least I haven't figured out how do you can go to Spotify and play a specific song.
- 42:50SPEAKER_06: Can you do that?
- 42:51SPEAKER_09: I I don't know, I don't use Spotify, so I have no Um Pandora you can't do that.
- 42:56SPEAKER_09: No, I I don't have that either.
- 42:57SPEAKER_06: What do you use?
- 42:58SPEAKER_06: Sirius XM.
- 42:59SPEAKER_06: Oh, well you can't you can't do that there.
- 43:02SPEAKER_06: No, you can't do it there.
- 43:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I have Sirius XM as well, and I I do, you know, I'll I'll put that on um and you know, do the same thing, but you can't you can't listen to a specific song if you wanted to.
- 43:13SPEAKER_09: No, you gotta listen to a genre.
- 43:14SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 43:15SPEAKER_09: You know, which is I mean they have a lot of different channels.
- 43:17SPEAKER_09: I mean there's like there's like a Bruce Springsteen channel.
- 43:19SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 43:19SPEAKER_09: But what I'm saying is when I had the But I can't listen to I can't, you know, I can't find like, you know, uh you know, boom boom by John Lee Hooker.
- 43:26SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 43:27SPEAKER_06: You know, I can't just But if you had your CDs, you can just pop it in track seven.
- 43:32SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 43:33SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 43:33SPEAKER_06: There it is.
- 43:34SPEAKER_06: There it is.
- 43:35SPEAKER_09: Or on your iPod.
- 43:35SPEAKER_09: I mean, you know, you can do that.
- 43:37SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 43:37SPEAKER_06: But But I mean you can you like I said, if you have your phone and your your Bluetoothing in the car, you could go to YouTube and type in boom boom, but you're gonna do that while you're driving?
- 43:47SPEAKER_06: No.
- 43:47SPEAKER_06: No.
- 43:47SPEAKER_09: That's the that's the thing.
- 43:48SPEAKER_09: Exactly.
- 43:49SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 43:49SPEAKER_06: You know, so it's yeah, there's drawbacks, you know, to everything, I guess.
- 43:54SPEAKER_09: But I mean is it it's nice that you can, you know, I can take this I could take this.
- 44:00SPEAKER_09: And have all my music on it.
- 44:01SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 44:02SPEAKER_09: You know, this is something that fits in my pocket can have all my music on it.
- 44:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 44:06SPEAKER_09: But I mean there's definitely drawbacks to it, so you know, you you gotta take the good with the bad.
- 44:12SPEAKER_09: Speaking of phones.
- 44:13SPEAKER_09: Facts of life.
- 44:14SPEAKER_09: I think you saw.
- 44:15SPEAKER_06: Facts of life.
- 44:16SPEAKER_06: I think you saw uh when you got here.
- 44:18SPEAKER_09: Hey, is that is that your son?
- 44:21SPEAKER_09: Uh uh where?
- 44:22SPEAKER_09: Right here.
- 44:24SPEAKER_09: Is that his number?
- 44:29SPEAKER_06: Hey Hoser, what's up?
- 44:30SPEAKER_06: Uh yes.
- 44:32SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 44:32SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that is his number.
- 44:33SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 44:35SPEAKER_06: That's what I was just gonna talk about.
- 44:37SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 44:38SPEAKER_06: So my eighth grader, who's been begging for a phone for years now, um finally has one.
- 44:51SPEAKER_06: And the only reason he has one is he's taking a big trip to DC this weekend.
- 44:59SPEAKER_09: Oh, this weekend?
- 45:00SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 45:00SPEAKER_06: His eighth grade trip is coming up this weekend.
- 45:03SPEAKER_06: And they're yeah, I mean, dude, they're they're driving.
- 45:05SPEAKER_06: I have to I have to drop him off at 2 30 in the morning.
- 45:09SPEAKER_08: Wow at the school.
- 45:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so at the school, I have to drop him off at 2 30 in the morning.
- 45:13SPEAKER_06: Um, and they they leave at three, and they're driving to Portland on a bus, like a charter bus.
- 45:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 45:21SPEAKER_06: When they get there, they get on a plane and they fly into Baltimore.
- 45:27SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 45:28SPEAKER_09: And they're taking a bus from Baltimore to DC.
- 45:31SPEAKER_06: I think they're still flying into Baltimore, because they were that might have might have changed because of the whole bridge thing that happened.
- 45:38SPEAKER_06: Um But they're fly they're they're going to DC.
- 45:40SPEAKER_06: And, you know, they've he's really excited about it.
- 45:43SPEAKER_06: They've got all kinds of things planned.
- 45:45SPEAKER_06: They're going to the Museum of Natural History, they're going to the White House, they're going to um, you know, a bunch of places.
- 45:51SPEAKER_06: And so he's really excited about it.
- 45:53SPEAKER_06: But he wanted a phone so he could take pictures and so he could communicate, and we were putting it off and we're like, no, you know, and and then I was like, I would like to know where he is.
- 46:05SPEAKER_06: You know, I would like him, like if something happens, I would like him to be able to get a hold of us.
- 46:10SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 46:11SPEAKER_06: So my wife and I talked about it, and we have all kinds of restrictions on it.
- 46:16SPEAKER_06: You know, it's like he's he's got uh um we have um parental controls.
- 46:22SPEAKER_06: So at starting at eight o'clock at night, it's very limited.
- 46:26SPEAKER_06: He can't really use it until seven o'clock in the morning.
- 46:29SPEAKER_06: Um that might change for his trip because I want him to be able to get a hold of us anytime he wants.
- 46:34SPEAKER_06: Sure.
- 46:35SPEAKER_06: But um you know, he and he's a pretty responsible kid.
- 46:41SPEAKER_06: He also wants to start his own business, and he's I mean, he had every argument under the sun to get a phone.
- 46:46SPEAKER_06: Well, I'm sure.
- 46:47SPEAKER_06: And he wants to start his own business.
- 46:48SPEAKER_06: I can't give people my phone number if I don't have a phone, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 46:51SPEAKER_06: I said, You have a phone.
- 46:52SPEAKER_06: It's here on the wall.
- 46:55SPEAKER_06: You know?
- 46:58SPEAKER_09: The number is Klondike 749.
- 47:03SPEAKER_06: So so what what happened and and and part I was going to go and get him a track phone.
- 47:09SPEAKER_06: I was gonna still have those?
- 47:11SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they do.
- 47:11SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 47:12SPEAKER_06: Oh, you could pay like um thirty bucks for for um a thousand texts and and so many hours of of calling, you know, of minutes.
- 47:24SPEAKER_06: And you can even access the internet uh on some of these, on like they have a smartphone, track phone.
- 47:29SPEAKER_06: Really?
- 47:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 47:30SPEAKER_06: They've come a long way, and it's pay as you go, right?
- 47:33SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 47:33SPEAKER_06: And so I was like, I'm uh probably just get him one of those, you know, and then my wife, you know, my wife is really let's see, I'm not gonna say tight with money, but she's a little tight with money.
- 47:48SPEAKER_06: Well, she's free's frugal.
- 47:50SPEAKER_06: Frugal.
- 47:50SPEAKER_06: Frugal is the word, and she is, and she always has been, and I'm we balance each other out.
- 47:56SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I was about to say because you're not um you know, I see something I want, I buy it.
- 48:00SPEAKER_09: Well I was about to say this is a really funny argument because your iPad is crap now.
- 48:05SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 48:06SPEAKER_09: And that's not gonna change.
- 48:08SPEAKER_09: No, no.
- 48:09SPEAKER_09: But now now your son has a phone.
- 48:11SPEAKER_06: So Well, here's the thing.
- 48:13SPEAKER_06: So she says, Well, you said because my f my phone, the uh the um charging point port um didn't always work right.
- 48:23SPEAKER_06: You had to bend it in order to to Oh yeah, yeah, you know, for it to to start charging.
- 48:28SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 48:29SPEAKER_06: And so I was telling the guy at the cell company this, and he says, Well just get a wireless, wireless uh charger.
- 48:35SPEAKER_06: And I said, I how does that work?
- 48:37SPEAKER_06: Because I don't know anything about anything.
- 48:38SPEAKER_06: Anyway, she says, Well, you said you need a new phone, right?
- 48:41SPEAKER_06: So why don't you just why don't you get a new phone and give him yours?
- 48:45SPEAKER_06: And of course immediately I'm like, I get a new phone?
- 48:48SPEAKER_06: All right, I can do that.
- 48:49SPEAKER_06: All right score.
- 48:52SPEAKER_06: So so I went in and and uh he mentioned the wireless charger and he said he he says if you do this deal, you know you basically get the iPhone 15 for uh for nothing, basically.
- 49:04SPEAKER_06: And I was like, Okay, let's do that.
- 49:07SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 49:07SPEAKER_06: So I I have a new phone and my boy's got my old phone and he's got this the charger where he can it's a portable battery, but you can put the phone on top of it.
- 49:18SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 49:19SPEAKER_06: And it'll charge the phone.
- 49:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 49:20SPEAKER_06: So he doesn't need to worry about the the faulty port.
- 49:24SPEAKER_06: Um and but you guys have to keep the thing charged up.
- 49:28SPEAKER_06: We do, yeah.
- 49:29SPEAKER_06: But you can just plug it in.
- 49:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah, okay.
- 49:31SPEAKER_06: So um and I think I think the battery life for it is pretty extensive.
- 49:37SPEAKER_06: I think it holds its charge for quite a while.
- 49:39SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 49:40SPEAKER_06: Um, hopefully, anyway, but he's gonna be bringing that to to DC with him.
- 49:44SPEAKER_06: Um but he's you know, he's already, you know, he's got all his friends in in his phone and his his girlfriend who's not his girlfriend uh is in there.
- 49:57SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 49:58SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 49:58SPEAKER_06: Did I ever tell you about that?
- 50:00SPEAKER_06: Did you?
- 50:01SPEAKER_06: He's he's got a friend.
- 50:05SPEAKER_06: Of course I'm I'm talking about my kids again.
- 50:07SPEAKER_06: He's got a friend that uh is his girlfriend, basically.
- 50:15SPEAKER_06: But because he has a rule that he can't date until he's fifteen, they're not dating.
- 50:22SPEAKER_06: But they just do everything together, and when I'm not looking, they hold hands and you know.
- 50:30SPEAKER_06: So that's a girlfriend.
- 50:31SPEAKER_06: It's basically she goes he goes over to his house her house, you know, and hangs out and he's real good friends with her parents and they love him, and so they're dating, but they're not dating officially.
- 50:46SPEAKER_09: So it's like covert dating.
- 50:48SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 50:48SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 50:49SPEAKER_06: So they can start dating uh in January of next year, because he'll be fifteen.
- 50:53SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 50:53SPEAKER_09: Well, that works.
- 50:55SPEAKER_06: And that's when we're gonna have her over.
- 50:58SPEAKER_09: And we'll make it official.
- 51:00SPEAKER_09: An official state visit.
- 51:02SPEAKER_09: You mean I can come to your house?
- 51:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah, not till I'm 15.
- 51:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so I'm just kidding.
- 51:07SPEAKER_09: Just hold off forever.
- 51:09SPEAKER_06: Just kidding.
- 51:10SPEAKER_06: Uh, she is a nice girl.
- 51:11SPEAKER_06: I've only talked to her a couple times, but she's she's very nice.
- 51:14SPEAKER_06: Um, but again, they're not dating.
- 51:16SPEAKER_06: So we'll just leave that at that.
- 51:17SPEAKER_09: That's fine.
- 51:18SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 51:19SPEAKER_09: All right, not girlfriend.
- 51:20SPEAKER_06: You know, but she's the background on his new phone.
- 51:23SPEAKER_09: But they're not dating.
- 51:24SPEAKER_09: They're not dating.
- 51:25SPEAKER_09: Oh, okay.
- 51:26SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 51:27SPEAKER_09: I just put random people on the background of my phone.
- 51:29SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah.
- 51:29SPEAKER_09: Me too.
- 51:31SPEAKER_09: Who is it this week?
- 51:35SPEAKER_06: Me.

- 51:43SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 51:44SPEAKER_06: I'll take a picture of you.
- 51:46SPEAKER_09: Put it on my phone.
- 51:48SPEAKER_09: Uh, your son says, Tell my dad you're my hero now.
- 51:51SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 51:52SPEAKER_06: Oh, I put my I put my phone number in his phone before I gave it to him.
- 51:56SPEAKER_06: And I said, uh in where it says put your name, I put my hero.
- 52:01SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 52:02SPEAKER_06: That's what he's talking about.
- 52:03SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 52:04SPEAKER_07: That makes more sense, huh?
- 52:06SPEAKER_06: Um so yeah, we're gonna take a break, I think.

- 54:09SPEAKER_06: And while I'm doing that, you've got your Beatles bo- Oh, speaking of the Beatles, so I introduced uh this week I've been introducing my second graders to the Beatles.
- 54:18SPEAKER_06: Um basically I have this like short, maybe three or four minute kids biography of the Beatles.
- 54:25SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 54:25SPEAKER_06: And I play for 'em, and there's one section in there where where uh the lady that's that's voicing, you know, that's narrating she says 'cause it's it's geared towards kids, basically.
- 54:35SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 54:36SPEAKER_06: But it says um and it was at this time when they started experimenting with drugs and this and that and that, you know.
- 54:44SPEAKER_06: And then you should have seen their faces.
- 54:47SPEAKER_06: They were like, Mr.
- 54:49SPEAKER_06: Mosher.
- 54:50SPEAKER_09: This is geared towards kids and they're saying that?
- 54:52SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 54:53SPEAKER_06: Experted experimenting with drugs.
- 54:55SPEAKER_06: And I I I have to say, drugs are bad, right?
- 54:58SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 54:58SPEAKER_06: Okay, good.
- 55:01SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 55:02SPEAKER_06: But and that's all they said.
- 55:04SPEAKER_06: What's that they started experimenting with drugs, and then and then the rest of it was fine.
- 55:07SPEAKER_06: You know, but the fact that it was there, I saw it the first time, the first second grade class I showed it to, and they went, Mr.
- 55:13SPEAKER_06: Mother, really?
- 55:15SPEAKER_06: And I was like, Yeah, but you know, drugs are bad.
- 55:17SPEAKER_06: Yeah, drugs are bad.
- 55:18SPEAKER_06: And so I was like, should I show this to the next second grade class?
- 55:22SPEAKER_06: And I did.
- 55:23SPEAKER_06: Well well.
- 55:24SPEAKER_06: And then the next one, and I did.
- 55:26SPEAKER_06: But uh every time I said, Drugs are bad, right?
- 55:28SPEAKER_06: Yes, drugs are bad.
- 55:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so well, from now.
- 55:31SPEAKER_06: I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure, I'm sure that uh parents check in with them another six years.
- 55:35SPEAKER_06: Parents are gonna be calling me.
- 55:37SPEAKER_06: Did you show something about the Beatles taking drugs uh in your classroom?
- 55:40SPEAKER_09: Not exactly.
- 55:41SPEAKER_09: Not exactly.
- 55:42SPEAKER_09: They weren't taking the drugs, right?
- 55:44SPEAKER_09: It's not it's not like they had a picture of John Lennon biting up a doobie.
- 55:50SPEAKER_06: I have to say, most of my second graders had never heard of the Beatles.
- 55:55SPEAKER_09: Oh, of course they haven't.
- 55:56SPEAKER_06: Well, I parents have to do a better job.
- 55:59SPEAKER_06: Well, parents suck.
- 56:00SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 56:01SPEAKER_09: That's true.
- 56:02SPEAKER_09: They're too busy downloading Taylor.
- 56:04SPEAKER_06: But the funny, but the funny thing is, is they'd never heard of the Beatles.
- 56:09SPEAKER_06: Uh, but when I played like uh Can't Buy Me Love or The Twist and Shout, you know, things.
- 56:16SPEAKER_06: Oh, I know this song.
- 56:17SPEAKER_06: Oh, of course you do.
- 56:18SPEAKER_06: Of course you hey Jude.
- 56:20SPEAKER_06: Hey, I know this song.
- 56:21SPEAKER_06: Yes, of course you do.
- 56:22SPEAKER_06: Of course you know the song.
- 56:23SPEAKER_06: You just don't know who it is.
- 56:25SPEAKER_06: Alright, so you're reading from the book by Steve.
- 56:28SPEAKER_09: Steve Turner.
- 56:29SPEAKER_09: Steve Turner.
- 56:29SPEAKER_09: What's this what's the story?
- 56:31SPEAKER_09: It is the from the album Let It Be.
- 56:34SPEAKER_09: Uh it's Two of Us, a song that we've done a few times on uh in our shows.
- 56:44SPEAKER_03: Phase one in which Douglas gets her oats.
- 56:48SPEAKER_06: Yes, we have.
- 56:49SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 56:50SPEAKER_09: Uh sung in the documentary Let It Be by John and Paul, both playing acoustic guitars.
- 56:57SPEAKER_09: Two of us sounds like a song about their Liverpool teenage years together, burning matches, lifting latches, and going home to play more music together.
- 57:05SPEAKER_09: But by this time, the two of us were not Paul and John, but Paul and Linda.
- 57:10SPEAKER_09: One of the most attractive things to Paul about his new girlfriend was her unpretentious, hang-loose approach to life.
- 57:17SPEAKER_09: As his life became increasingly restricted by schedules and contractual obligations, he relished being with someone who seemed consistently laid back, someone with whom he could forget he was a Beatle.
- 57:31SPEAKER_09: Soon after they met in London during the autumn of 1968, Linda taught Paul the delights of getting completely lost.
- 57:37SPEAKER_09: She would drive him out of the city with no destination in mind, and with the sole intention of ending up miles from anywhere.
- 57:44SPEAKER_09: To a beetle, who had become reliant on being constantly told where and when he was needed and having his life organized for him.
- 57:54SPEAKER_09: With military precision, this was an exhilarating return of freedom.
- 57:58SPEAKER_09: As a kid, I'd loved getting lost, explains Linda.
- 58:02SPEAKER_09: I would say to my father, let's get lost, but you could never seem to be able to really get lost.
- 58:08SPEAKER_09: All signs eventually led back to New York or wherever we were staying.
- 58:12SPEAKER_09: Then when I moved to England to be with Paul, we would put Martha in the back of the car.
- 58:16SPEAKER_09: Martha was his daughter.
- 58:17SPEAKER_09: Martha, my dear.
- 58:18SPEAKER_09: Martha, yep.
- 58:19SPEAKER_09: Uh, and drive out of London.
- 58:20SPEAKER_09: As soon as we were on the open road, I'd say, Let's get lost, and we'd keep driving without looking at any signs.
- 58:26SPEAKER_09: Hence the line in the song, Two of Us Going Nowhere.
- 58:29SPEAKER_09: Paul wrote Two of Us on one of those days out.
- 58:32SPEAKER_09: Lyndon explains it was about us.
- 58:34SPEAKER_09: We just pulled off in a wood somewhere and parked the car.
- 58:37SPEAKER_09: I went off walking, my Pa sat in the car and started writing.
- 58:40SPEAKER_09: He also mentions the postcards because we used to send a lot of postcards to each other.
- 58:45SPEAKER_09: And there you go.
- 58:46SPEAKER_09: There you go.
- 58:53SPEAKER_09: I do love this song.
- 58:54SPEAKER_09: Great song.
- 58:55SPEAKER_09: Really great.
- 59:02SPEAKER_06: And I did I told you know my second graders today, I said the Beatles were the most important band in the history of music.
- 59:10SPEAKER_09: No, they weren't, Mr.
- 59:11SPEAKER_09: Modi.
- 59:12SPEAKER_09: Yes, they were.
- 59:13SPEAKER_09: Yes, they were.
- 59:16SPEAKER_09: If it wasn't for the Beatles, you wouldn't have Taylor Swift.
- 59:20SPEAKER_06: If it wasn't for the Beatles, you wouldn't have more than more than half of the artists we have today.
- 59:24SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 59:24SPEAKER_06: Because they were all influenced by the Beatles.
- 59:26SPEAKER_09: Exactly.
- 59:30SPEAKER_06: There's a um what's that movie yesterday?
- 59:33SPEAKER_06: There was a kind of like what if the Beatles?
- 59:35SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah, what if what if the nobody had ever heard of the Beatles?
- 59:37SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 59:37SPEAKER_09: It was a kind of a neat movie.
- 59:38SPEAKER_06: It was a neat movie, yeah.
- 59:44SPEAKER_06: We're going home.
- 59:48SPEAKER_06: Yeah, no, I dig it.
- 59:49SPEAKER_06: One of my favorites.
- 59:50SPEAKER_06: Uh alright.
- 59:52SPEAKER_06: Very cool.
- 59:52SPEAKER_06: So I have climbed the wall, and I have an album.
- 1:00:01SPEAKER_06: And I have to say, it's probably probably my favorite album from this artist.
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:00:09SPEAKER_06: So go ahead and oh yeah.
- 1:00:11SPEAKER_06: I'm sorry.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_06: Let the guessing begin.
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_09: This look this look is waiting for you to use the words.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_09: Ah, okay.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_09: Uh is it a band?
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_09: Uh no.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_09: Okay, solo.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_09: Guy, girl, guy, guy.
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_09: Hey guy.
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_09: Hey guy.
- 1:00:29SPEAKER_09: Uh rock guy?
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_09: Pop rock guy.
- 1:00:32unknown: Pop rock guy.
- 1:00:34unknown: Pop rocks.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_09: That was pop rock.
- 1:00:41SPEAKER_09: I got it.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_09: That was a bad imitation.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_06: It was.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_09: It's okay though.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_09: That's right.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_09: I have to work on my pop rock imitation.
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_06: We should get some pop rocks.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_06: I bet that'd be kind of cool.
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_06: What are you but still song?
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_06: ASMR?
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_06: Is that a thing?
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_06: Where like when you when you like when you're talking like this and there's a whole like there's a whole um like thing out there where people are really into close talking on the microphone.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_06: I think it's called ASMR.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_06: It's mostly mostly women that that talk very, very close to the microphone like this.
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_06: I thought it'd be kind of neat to put pop rocks in.
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_06: Why is that a thing?
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 1:01:26SPEAKER_06: It's a big it's big though.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_06: Really?
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_06: I think it's called ASMR.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_06: Look it up.
- 1:01:31SPEAKER_06: I mean it's it's actually don't look it up.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_08: Probably don't want to look up.
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_06: Probably don't want to look it up.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_06: But there are there are there's a whole it's like a cult uh thing where people enjoy listening to people talk very closely on the microphone like this.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_09: Just another like fetish or hey hey Jesus, you can come back anytime.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_09: Oh, it won't be long.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_09: We're ready.
- 1:01:56SPEAKER_09: Ready, ready to go.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_06: It won't be long.
- 1:01:58SPEAKER_09: Alright.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_09: All right.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_09: Anyway.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_09: So pop rock.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_09: Uh let's see, pop rock.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_09: Uh height of popularity.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_09: Um late 80s, early 90s.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 1:02:09SPEAKER_06: It's Michael Bolton.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_06: You're not far off.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_06: Same, same type of thing.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_06: I think.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_06: Is it Rick Astley?
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 1:02:19SPEAKER_06: That'd be funny.
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_06: Actually, you know, Michael Bolton had some really good stuff early in his career.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_09: Um, but uh so is it like a Michael Bolton-ish type guy?
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think so.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_09: Type guy.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_06: Not a not a low voice, but yeah, I think that I mean you would hear this guy on the same radio station that Michael Bolton was on.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_06: And we may have done it before.
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah.

- 1:04:33SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.

- 1:04:38SPEAKER_06: Alright.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_09: Um it's not Richard Marks, is it?
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_06: Yes, it is.
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_09: It is.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_06: It is.
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_06: And I was a big Richard Marks fan, and I I still am a fan of of some of his music.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_06: Um, but there's a point where he just started turning me off, and I'm not sure why.
- 1:04:59SPEAKER_06: Um but this is probably my favorite Richard Marks album.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_06: Is that the first one?
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_06: No, second one.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 1:05:06SPEAKER_06: Um this one has well, one of the reasons it's my one of my favorites, is Are you raising your hand?
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_09: No, I'm just I was reaching for something.
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_09: I this was just doing whatever.
- 1:05:16SPEAKER_06: One of the reasons this is one of my favorites is because Steve Lukuthur is all over it.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 1:05:21SPEAKER_06: Um that is that's understandable.
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_06: And I don't think I have uh I don't think I have Oh, there is.
- 1:05:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah, okay.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_06: So it's more rocking than his first album.

- 1:06:02SPEAKER_06: He's a great singer.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah, its voice can get annoying after a while, but this is from 89.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_06: Repeat offender is the name of the album.

- 1:06:38SPEAKER_06: And there was some back and forth between Richard Marks and Def Leopard.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_06: Because Richard Marks was trying to cop a lot of the sound that Def Leopard got on hysteria.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_06: Okay.

- 1:07:00SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:07:00SPEAKER_10: Way that we used to be of things that we said.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_06: Okay, so the biggest, but that's one of the biggest ones, but this is this is the biggest one on this album.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_09: Oh, uh yeah.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_09: I can't remember the name of it though.
- 1:07:19SPEAKER_06: This is everyone learned this piano part back in the day.

- 1:07:43SPEAKER_06: Which is children of the night.
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_06: It's about runaways and we are the children of the night.
- 1:07:57SPEAKER_06: I don't know if you ever heard that one.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_09: Don't remember this one.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_09: But we've never done Richard Marsh.
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_09: Ever?
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_09: Nope.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_09: Wow.
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_10: So all that I know in my night.
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_06: This was my this was my thing back in the in junior high and even some of high school was pop rock.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_06: Because I like I was a fan of melody.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_06: I listened to a lot of Chicago.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_06: You know, Chicago 18, Chicago 19.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_11: Yeah, things like that.
- 1:08:25SPEAKER_06: But I always liked it to be edgy.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_06: And there's, you know, like a lot of good guitar in it.
- 1:08:30SPEAKER_06: Right, yeah.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_06: Richard Marks fit that description.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_06: He mellowed out as he got as he went on.
- 1:08:37SPEAKER_09: Well, yeah, I mean that first album was fire, man.
- 1:08:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:41SPEAKER_09: And then this one was kind of, yeah.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_06: And then they had he had Rush Street after this one, which had a few hits on it as well.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_09: I tuned out after this one.
- 1:08:51SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_06: Rush Street was a good one, uh, but it was more soul sort of.
- 1:08:57SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 1:08:58SPEAKER_06: And then he and then he went really mellow.
- 1:09:03SPEAKER_06: Then he wrote some songs for Keith Urban.
- 1:09:05SPEAKER_06: Um but it's the be it's the album cuts on this first track.
- 1:09:18SPEAKER_06: It's called Nothing You Can Do About It.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_06: So he had a song on his first album called Don't Mean Nothing.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_06: Yeah, which is about the record business.
- 1:09:24SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 1:09:25SPEAKER_06: And this is like the follow-up to that.
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_06: Oh, okay.
- 1:09:45SPEAKER_06: So the best part of this song.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_06: It's Steve Lukathers guitar style.
- 1:09:49SPEAKER_06: Oh, I'm gonna forward to that.
- 1:09:51SPEAKER_09: Oh, of course.
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_06: I mean, come on.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_06: Smoking! Smokin'! There's a couple songs that like this is one of my favorite uh ones from the album.
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_06: Actually, I think this was released as a single too.
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_06: I don't think it charted very well.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_06: Too late to say goodbye.
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_06: No idea.
- 1:11:12SPEAKER_06: Honestly, I think the album cuts are better than the singles on this album.
- 1:11:23SPEAKER_10: Let's come back to Hawthorne.
- 1:11:31SPEAKER_04: That 80s production, right?
- 1:11:32SPEAKER_09: Well, yeah, it's a I always it always bugs me because the the drums are so thin.
- 1:11:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they are.
- 1:11:38SPEAKER_09: You know, and it's just it's really I mean, it might as well you know, it's like I think that's where Bob Rock got the idea for Lars's sound on uh, you know, on saying anger.
- 1:11:48SPEAKER_09: Unsane anger.
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_09: He's like, hey, let's go back to the 80s when it sucked.
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_06: Well, it's it it you know, it's a it's an interesting point because this song.
- 1:12:00SPEAKER_06: Let's take this for example.
- 1:12:04SPEAKER_06: If you recorded it today, like in with today's production value, I wonder if it would sound I mean it would be different, obviously.
- 1:12:15SPEAKER_06: Would it be better or worse?
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
- 1:12:21SPEAKER_09: I mean uh I mean because when this album came out it was you know digital still as an invincible, right?
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_09: You know, yeah, so I don't know.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_09: I mean if you wanted to put some meat on it, you could, but if I mean it's a pop album, so it's gonna sound pop.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know.
- 1:12:42SPEAKER_06: This is another album cut Wait for the Sunrise.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_06: I love this song.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_10: I mean that guitar sound is kind of low.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_09: Well yeah, it's kind of uh it's kinda it it's it's it's it's thin.
- 1:13:08SPEAKER_09: Yeah, you know, there's no real crunch to it, you know?
- 1:13:10SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:13:11SPEAKER_09: So I don't know.
- 1:13:21SPEAKER_06: Yeah, very 80s.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_06: But but song wise, great songwriter.
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_06: Oh, the songs are good.
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_06: Songs are good.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_06: He's a great songwriter, yeah.
- 1:13:29SPEAKER_06: Um did you I don't know if you knew that, but uh I know I mentioned it.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_06: Um let's see, was it J.
- 1:13:45SPEAKER_06: This is Keith Urban song?
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_06: Have you ever heard this?
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_05: You must have called Better Life.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_02: Friday night and the moon is high, wide awake, just watching you sleep.
- 1:14:04SPEAKER_06: This was written by Richard Marks.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_06: Or co-written, I guess.
- 1:14:07SPEAKER_06: I promise you you're gonna have to be able to tell you just the things that you need.
- 1:14:16SPEAKER_02: We ain't got much hell.
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_02: We just start now.
- 1:14:30SPEAKER_09: You can you can hear him hear his southern accent singing on it, so yeah.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_09: So anything's possible at this point.
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_06: But I mean he wrote uh he wrote some stuff for InSync, and he wrote some other boy band stuff, you know.
