• 1:08
  SPEAKER_02: it's just,
• 1:09

• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: I wish I could go back to the days where I could sleep until like noon

  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.

• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: I just can't do it like I used to.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well,
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: who knows?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, stress, business things have changed.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know,
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_01: there was a time there when you took on doing a whole lot of shows and things,
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_01: you know, and you were doing, what, four shows a week or something?
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was doing this one for six hours.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_02: I was doing, what was I doing?
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_02: Mondays and Wednesdays was Seth's show.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: And Tuesdays was the Eric show.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_02: And you were doing the Toomey show.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: And the Toomey show.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: And Aftershock sometimes.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then you were doing all the interviews.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and doing all the interviews.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: Then trying to run your normal business and run the pinball PA and all that.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I do a little too much sometimes.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_01: But you scaled back.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: I had to.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_01: I know at the beginning of this year,
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: the end of last year,
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: you were talking about, well,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: in the new year,
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_01: you're going to scale back and drop a couple of the shows and try to not take on
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_01: so much.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: And you kind of did that.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, I had to.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I knew at the end of last year that this thing with pinball PA was coming,
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_02: and I knew I was going to be in class for several months.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I knew that something had to change.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: There just was no way to,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: incorporate daily three and four hour classes and then do my regular work
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: and do shows and do all the video processing and all the other bullshit.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: It just wasn't going to work.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_02: So that's why I had to do it.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: And I hate,
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: honestly,
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: the biggest,
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: the only regret that I really have out of losing everything is ending the show
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: with me and Eric, because I really did enjoy doing that show.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, I'm eventually here.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_02: If Eric throws the invite to me, I will do it again.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's already said he wants me to come back and do,
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_02: you know, an episode here and there, which I will do.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_02: But I do miss doing that one because I miss hanging with Eric every week.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_02: But it is what it is.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, thankfully, the business piece of it has paid off well.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: And it is, you know, as I get older, I don't have as much jump as I used to have in me, I guess.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, look, and I've talked to you about this off the air.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: I've talked about it on the air.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: You know, there's a lot of parts of me that wants to cut this one down a little bit.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I wouldn't mind cutting this show down to four hours.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_02: I really wouldn't, or three.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, but I'm not there yet.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_02: You know, when I get there, I'll tell you, and we'll make a decision at that point.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know, I mean, for now, I feel good.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: My back is finally not hurting again, or at least not hurting as bad anymore.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe it's because I'm Losing weight, that might be helping.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: And having a healthier diet.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: Healthier diet.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_02: Everything's working right now.

  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: Well, obviously we were not here last week.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: I took a trip to Florida to...
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Manage the docking boys on the road and,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: do my little duty on the road with them and keep things moving along
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: and seeing things that get managed correctly.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, so I flew out of here on Thursday and flew to Orlando, Florida.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: And boy, I'll tell you what.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: People who live in Florida year-round, holy shit, it was like stepping out into a sauna.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was just wet heat.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that humidity at this time of the year is brutal over there.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just stepping off the plane and going into the parking garage where they have
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: the rental cars.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: It was just like, holy shit, it's like walking into a sauna.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_01: and we're just standing there waiting for the girl at the checkout counter at
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_01: the car rental to get our rental agreement put together and things.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_01: And they had the rental desk outside in the garage, in the parking garage itself.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then the girl who was doing the checkout,
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: her little printer froze up or came unplugged or something and it wouldn't print out
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_01: the The rental agreement.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: So we're just standing there and standing there and standing there and trying
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: to help her figure out how to get this thing is because
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_01: the sweat is just pouring off of us just standing there.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: I bet.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_01: It was crazy.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know,
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_01: once we got rolling,
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: we went to a little kind of a very touristy little town called Mount Dora.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_01: And it was a nice little town,
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: it was kind of like a walking town,
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: because they had a lot of stores and restaurants and bars and scenic stuff
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: in this little town.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: The little roads were like very narrow.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_01: So you could tell it was an older town and a lot of the roads were one way and not
• 6:50
  SPEAKER_01: a lot of room for cars to pass through there,
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: especially if people were parked alongside the road.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: Very nice little town.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_01: They had a place, they called it the Mount Dora Music Center.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_01: But when we got there, it was a community center.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it was kind of like a multi-use building.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: And it looked like it may have been like a movie theater at one time.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_01: And it held, I think I counted the seats, it held just shy of a thousand people.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_01: And, uh, you know, nice.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was nice.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: It was all renovated and stuff.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't like some old, old timey music theater.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_01: It was, uh, you know, a renovated building.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: And, uh, good, good show, good acoustics.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, you know, there were, uh, meet and greets scheduled.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_01: And, uh,
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_01: so the guys did the meet and greet with, uh,
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: 50, 60 fans had signed up for this thing and they had a couple of opening bands.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_01: And after the opening bands had gotten off,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: one of the bands had come down into the dressing room area.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_01: And one of the guys, his girlfriend, she was all dolled up.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: She was wearing like a leather skirt and heels and got her hair and makeup done.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: And she was just looking all, you know, just pretty, pretty hot girl.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: So I came out of the dressing room and she just kind of like lit up and she goes,
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: oh, I really like your jacket.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: This guy gave her the goon hand right away.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: Just grabbed her by the arm and just like squeezed her, you know what I mean?
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: And she went, oh, and she looked over at her boy from there and he just...
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: Just shook his head.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_01: I was just, what's up with that?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: So I stuck my hand out there and I said, hey dude, how you doing?
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: And he shook hands with me.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, relax, I'm not going to steal your chick.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_02: She'll suck your cock later, I swear.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_01: I just thought that was funny because he just grabbed her arm like, you know.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: Gotta love those dudes that are so overly jealous of every goddamn thing.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: Like, what are you going to do?
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: You're in a public place with probably 50 people around.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: What's she going to do?
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: Drop to her knees and blow you right there?
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Jesus Christ, stop it.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_01: I just walked out and she complimented my jacket that I had on.

  SPEAKER_01: But it's always funny to watch Don and George get together when they,
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: they're like two chatty Cathy's.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 12:08

  SPEAKER_01: both of those guys just chat it up like,
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: it's so funny because,
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: people still think that there's some kind of animosity there or something and
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: When those two get in the same room and start chatting it up,
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_01: they're just chatting it up.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_01: I was like, come on, Don, we got to hit the stage.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 12:30
  SPEAKER_01: And he's over there yapping it up with George.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_01: Hold

  SPEAKER_02: on a minute.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_02: We're talking about that tour in 1986.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's funny to see those two together, but the show went well.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: It was hot out there.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: They had big old fans on the stage, so a lot of wind blowing around on the stage there.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: And then,
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_01: of course,
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: George came up and did his three songs at the end,
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_01: and the venue owner had made it very clear to me,
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: you've got to pull the plug at midnight.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: We have a very strict You know, noise ordinance here.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.

  SPEAKER_01: and I was able to throw in a couple loads of laundry and take a little bit of a nap
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_01: and then head out and go have some steak.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: That

  SPEAKER_01: No, 200 for the upgrade.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.

• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: You move me right
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_01: onto the front.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: That's basically my thought.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be in with the EBT crowd back there.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be sitting here when a brawl breaks out.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's true.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: But I did notice something in the airport.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: The last time I flew was back in February of this year.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: And what I've noticed now, and I'm calling it the wheelchair grift.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: All of a sudden now, there is like a line of wheelchairs of a certain demographic.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: Old people?
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: Is that the demo?
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: All of them need wheelchair assistance now.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, of course they do.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: Six or eight of them on each flight.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_01: I've never seen that before.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_02: Some of them 14 years old.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_01: That's now a thing.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm sure it is.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: It's the only way you can get on board ahead of everybody else.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody that needs assistance.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, pretend you need assistance.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's right.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_02: Let's go up to the counter and say,
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: yeah, I'm going to need to be on the first loading flight, please.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_01: I think they should load them in the cargo bay.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: Just drag them.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 16:08
  SPEAKER_02: Hook a chain to the bottom of the wheelchair.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: Hold on, fucko.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it was just unbelievable how that's changed now.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's the new grift.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and there'll be something else sooner or later.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, now I need wheelchair assistance.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_01: So there's eight or ten people lined up in wheelchairs waiting to get on.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_02: How many of them look like they actually needed a wheelchair?
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: None.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: None of them.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Unless you want to consider overweight needing assistance.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that could be.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm sure still you get a guy my size trying to fucking stuff his fat ass into a small seat.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not paying for two seats.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_02: Fuck that.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm only 480 pounds.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_02: Why should I have to pay for double?
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: People are so dumb.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the flying experience certainly isn't what it used to be years ago.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and even upgrading to first class, you still get the ick about flying.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: It's just like, sigh.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you're still around those fuckwads.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: They're just pushed back, you know, 20 feet from you.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_01: They're still near you.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, true.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_01: And you're always just keeping your eye out just in case something breaks out
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_01: because you just know it's going to happen.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: You're just sitting there waiting for them to open Whitey Airlines so
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: that you can fly there all the time, right?
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: That'll be your only flight?
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'm taking the 3 o'clock on Whitey.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_02: I don't even need first class.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's Whitey Airlines.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_02: I'm happy to sit coach.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: I was going to send you a video this week.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: The reason we should have bailed out Spirit Airlines.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, Jesus.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: It was a blank video.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_01: No, it was just all the problems that the other airlines now have to encounter
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: because Spirit is no longer operational.
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: I've heard that Delta is taking a beating off of that.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_02: They're all switching to Delta.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I've heard.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's true or not.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: No, that's not the one I'll be flying anytime soon.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: Again, you're looking for Whitey.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I flew American down and flew United back.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's Whitey and Lily Whitey.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: That's pretty much my rule anymore is American is my first choice.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: United is my second choice.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: If there's a third choice, I might consider not going at all.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: Wretch in the chat room, I only fly Klan Air.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, overall, a successful weekend.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_01: it's always good to hang out with the guys and,
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: you know, catch up and, you know, just hanging out and doing dude stuff.
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's cool.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Always glad to be back here on the show to do the show and entertain everybody.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's very flattering when I jump into either chat room early
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: and there's people already there a half hour ahead just waiting for the show.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, wow, that is flattering.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_02: They start their own show.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: They do.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_01: They do.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: For those of you who Tune in and participate every week.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_01: I thank you.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: Believe me, it doesn't go without recognition.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I want to recognize you guys and gals for popping in.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to be honest.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_02: Last week, you know, I ran a best of.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: And I really,
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: honestly,
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_02: I just kind of ran it so that they would have a chat room
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_02: so it wouldn't be difficult.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: So I put up the chat room and I looked at the numbers.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_02: It was like.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_02: It was like 1,400 or 1,500 views on an advertised We Won't Be Here week.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, damn.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's nice.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_02: That's pretty good on a show that literally we said we will not be live.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: And did good numbers.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, thank you for that.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: That was definitely a little humbling.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Because I usually go,
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_02: when we do a Best Of, I usually go and look, and it'll be like 800 or something.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like, ooh, boy, that sucks.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know, I looked this way.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_02: It was like 1480 or something.
• 20:39
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, wow, not bad for a non-show.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty good.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: But other than,
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: the weekend adventure, you know, is back to daily business, you know, come Monday.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, not a whole lot, you know, to report as far as, you know, Anything exciting.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think I even watched any TV this week either.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_01: It was pretty much work and home for me.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_01: Hanging out here, doing a little work in the studio today and getting ready for the show.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: I want to bring people a good show since we were away last week.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_02: There's plenty to talk about, that's for sure.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_01: The one thing that was very cool,
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: and I played it in the intro,
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: was our good friend Jim Florentine giving the CMS a big old shout out.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_02: He did.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_02: Nice, big, long one, about 30, 40 seconds, just promoting the show.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was a good one.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_01: I have it here.
• 21:41
  SPEAKER_01: I could play a little bit of it.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_01: So Jim Florentine,
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: comedian,
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: if you're not aware,
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: but I think most people are, you know, he was part of that metal show.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: For all the years.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, he's been a fan of this show, surprising to both Chris and I when we found out.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: And he likes us because of our sense of humor and our, quote-unquote, inappropriateness.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: And so on and so forth.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_01: But I submitted a story for his Everybody's Awful podcast.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: And he covered the story this week.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_01: Just the preamble up to covering the story, he gave you and I a nice plug for the show.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_01: And well, here's what he had to say.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_03: Neely is a part of the classic metal show I told you guys about.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_03: Chris Akin and Neely do the show.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_03: They've been doing it for a long time.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_03: It's music, but they also do, you know, they talk in between and they release it as a podcast.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_03: Check it out,
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_03: the classic metal show,
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_03: because they've got kicked off a bunch of different platforms
• 22:44
  SPEAKER_03: for saying inappropriate shit.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_03: If you like this podcast, you'll love them too.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_03: And, you know, they don't necessarily play the music on the podcast.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: They don't play the music on the podcast.
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_03: They just talk in between about different shit and stuff,
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_03: but they're very inappropriate and that's why I like them.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_03: It's called the classic metal show.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: They're very inappropriate.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: That's why I like them.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_02: I do love that.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's funny.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_01: So thanks, Jim.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_01: Appreciate it.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: That's really good.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: Appreciate the shout out.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I love that.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: Glad the story I sent was podcast worthy.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: And if you're watching because of that, hello.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_01: So if you've found us because of Jim Florentine, let them know.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_02: Say, hey, I listen to that.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: Those guys suck.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: What are you doing referring us to them?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: Well, as our one critique says, the classic metal show, they're just a bunch of dickheads.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_02: Not a lie.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: Definitely not a lie.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: We are just a bunch of dickheads.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty much, yeah.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_01: So what's happening in your world, Mr. Akin?
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_01: Anything good?
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's been busy.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, and not just worky stuff.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_02: Probably the biggest thing that I did in the last two weeks,
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_02: since we've been gone for two weeks,
• 23:58
  SPEAKER_02: was I had talked about it last time we were live,
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_02: that I was going to be doing that interview,
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_02: that live interview with Mark Mihaljevic,
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_02: the father of Amy, who was murdered in 1989, the little 10-year-old kid.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_02: And unsolved.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_02: And I did that.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_02: I did that out at Audio Bay,
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_02: the studio that Billy has, and I'm sort of involved in on some level, I guess, but.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_02: I went out there and did that interview and I ain't gonna lie,
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_02: it taught me really quickly that true crime is not in my future.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_01: How so?
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my God, dude.
• 24:37
  SPEAKER_02: My stomach was hurting.
• 24:41
  SPEAKER_02: The first big interview I ever did that wasn't just a local band interview,
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_02: way, way back a million years ago, was Bobby Brown.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_02: I interviewed Bobby Brown from New Edition.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_02: And my stomach was absolutely twisting and turning and whatnot.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_02: And then maybe two or three months later,
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_02: I interviewed Dio, which,
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: as I've told many times,
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_02: my gateway to heavy metal was Heaven and Hell, the Black Sabbath album.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_02: So to interview Dio got my stomach turning.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_01: What, like out of nerves?
• 25:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, out of nerves.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_02: Just out of nervousness and making sure I do a good job or whatever.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I really don't get that anymore.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm pretty comfortable now, and I can talk to anybody.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_02: I just know that I know how to do it,
• 25:35
  SPEAKER_02: so I don't get nervous that I'm not going to have anything to ask or whatever.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_02: My stomach was doing backflips going into this fucking interview.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_02: Because,
• 25:46
  SPEAKER_02: and I mean,
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: it makes sense,
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_02: but at the same time, it's like, dude, you've interviewed 5,000 fucking people.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_02: You should not be this nervous.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_02: But I've always had that thing where if I get into a hotspot with somebody,
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_02: I can tell a joke and pull out of it.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: I can just kind of, oh, you know, I'm just fucking with you, you know, or whatever.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sure.
• 26:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's a transitional thing.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it's a quick, easy.
• 26:12
  SPEAKER_02: You just know it off the top of your head.
• 26:14
  SPEAKER_02: You kind of know when you go in with a hard question what you're going to say
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: to get out of it if you have to.
• 26:20
  SPEAKER_02: And it comes from doing it a million times.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_02: Couldn't do that with this.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_02: What fucking joke am I going to tell to a guy who had his kids slaughtered?
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, how do I joke about that?
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_02: How do I tell it?
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_02: Although I did get off one joke about being the volunteer and to be the first one
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_02: to donate a carton of cigarettes to anybody that welcomes this guy
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_02: if they catch him.
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I threw that out there and everybody laughed around the table.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_02: But I mean, other than that, it was very serious and it was very difficult.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_02: But I think it came out pretty good.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody that saw it, the reaction was real good.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_02: The family was happy.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: And that was really all I cared about.
• 27:03
  SPEAKER_02: I really didn't give a shit if it did a bunch of views or not or whatever.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_02: And if people liked it or hated it,
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_02: I just wanted to do a good job for the family because they're trying to raise money
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_02: for this DNA test that they need to get to catch this fucking creep.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_01: Assuming he's still alive.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'll tell you tomorrow.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_02: There's things I now know that I should not say on the air, and I will not.
• 27:31
  SPEAKER_02: Fair enough.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_02: But, yeah, to your point, yes.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_02: Assuming he's still alive, yes.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: There's hope to put his ass in jail,
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_02: even if it's for a year,
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_02: just so he takes a beating every single fucking day of that time.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: Because as you're well aware,
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: prisoners do not like fucking children, people that fuck with children.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_02: So...
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_02: So I did that.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_02: And then I guess the other big thing was after 35 years,
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_02: I finally went to the doctor and did all the doctory stuff.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: And it was not the bad experience I expected.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_02: I know I had heard horror stories about the VA.
• 28:15
  SPEAKER_02: About just how bad it is to go to the VA and get a doctor's appointment
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_02: and blood work and all this other shit.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_02: So I was horrified by that.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_02: And honestly, as I told you this afternoon, I just thought it was going to be bad.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_02: I know my health.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm not in great shape.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, I know I'm in bad shape.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_02: I assumed that they were going to say, well, you're diabetic or you've got diabetes.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_02: You know, colon cancer, prostate cancer, whatever the fuck.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_02: And stunningly, almost everything was normal.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_02: The only things that I came back bad on were vitamin D deficiency.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_02: And that makes sense because I live like a fucking prisoner in solitary confinement.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_02: I never see the sun.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, that made sense.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then cholesterol was like four points high.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_02: Which, you know,
• 29:15
  SPEAKER_02: that could have been lunch that day before or dinner the night before
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_02: or something could have been that.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_02: So everything else, okay.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_02: You know, no real things.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: Everything was smooth.
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_02: Did the blood work.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_02: Everything came back okay.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now I'm going to go to the...
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_02: To the next level.
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_02: And I have like 10 more appointments booked now that now that I've seen
• 29:37
  SPEAKER_02: that it's not a pain in the dick.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_02: I booked a bunch more.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to get my ear fixed because this ear that I cannot hear from worth the fuck.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm going to get a hearing aid or surgery or whatever the fuck I need to get.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm going to get some new glasses because I figured it out.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: This pair of glasses that I have right here that you almost never see me wear.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_02: That I'm absolutely supposed to wear all the time.
• 30:04
  SPEAKER_02: I got 27 years ago.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_02: And I've never been back for even an update on the prescription.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_02: So they don't work quite as well as they used to.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to go, I have an appointment for that.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_02: I've got...
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_02: I talked them into putting me in the fat fuck program,
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_02: which is kind of going against what I said before.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: But you guys are going to see me doing my jelly roll impression here in
• 30:30
  SPEAKER_02: the next couple of months because I'm going to go ahead and go for it.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I'm doing surgery or just Ozempic shots in the belly or whatever
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: the fuck I'm doing, but they offered it.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm doing it.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: I just am like, you know what?
• 30:45
  SPEAKER_02: Kind of like we said two weeks ago on the show.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_02: I really kind of am in a place now where I don't want to be dead now.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_02: I kind of want to live a little bit longer.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to do the things that I need to do.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: And one of them is obviously to lose, you know, 150 plus pounds.
• 31:01
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to do it.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to let them, if they need to, I'll let them carve me up and cut it off.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_02: Or if not that, they could do the shots, whatever.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: I don't care.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not afraid of surgery, so I don't give a fuck.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly, J-Rad.

  SPEAKER_02: This is the end of the fourth week of the fasting.
• 33:14
  SPEAKER_02: We talked about it before, the intermittent fasting.
• 33:16
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm down a little over 30, 35 pounds or something.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I feel good.
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't bug me anymore.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm drinking a shit ton of water.
• 33:28
  SPEAKER_02: I will say I'm drinking three of these a day,
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_02: plus coffee, plus maybe a thing of iced tea in the middle.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 33:36
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm on it.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: I'm working it.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: No cheats in a month.
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: Which for me,
• 33:42
  SPEAKER_02: for a fat fuck like me to literally have no cheats in a month,
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: that is something new.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm working on it.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm working on a lot of things.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm working on getting my fucking health in order a little bit.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm trying.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: So there we are.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_02: And that's kind of everything that I did.
• 33:58
  SPEAKER_02: All the rest of it was just work.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 34:00
  SPEAKER_02: I will tell you one interview I did that was fun.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_02: I interviewed the new singer of Asia.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know you were talking about,
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 34:10
  SPEAKER_01: kind of being excited about that because you had a change of heart on
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_01: the new record.
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm not going to lie.
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_02: We watched that one video and both of us were like, what is this?
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: It just looked like some local band hanging out at the airport.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and...
• 34:30
  SPEAKER_02: I just was like, I had the opportunity to talk to him.
• 34:33
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, Jeff Downs doesn't want to do any interviews.
• 34:36
  SPEAKER_02: So I was like, well, let me talk to the singer.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, this singer sounds exactly like John Whetton.
• 34:44
  SPEAKER_02: When you listen to the album,
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_02: especially when you listen to the album,
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_02: it's one thing to hear a song and you're like, okay, that fits.
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: When you hear the whole album and you hear the inflections and you hear
• 34:53
  SPEAKER_02: the way he presents music, he's exactly the same.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_02: And he's a young guy.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_02: I think he told me he was 30.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_02: Like, he's young, so he doesn't remember Asia.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean,
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_02: Asia was probably 15 years over by the time he heard him,
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_02: let alone joining the band.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 35:10
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, when did Asia run out of hits?
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_02: 85?
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was in the mid to late 80s.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, the last hit I think they had was that song, Go, Get Up and Go.
• 35:22
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_02: From the Asia 3 record.
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know...
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_02: He was very, very cool.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_02: We really got along pretty well.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_02: We were just telling a lot of jokes and fucking with each other and whatnot.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_02: He was a good dude.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_01: Is he British or what is he?
• 35:39
  SPEAKER_02: He's British.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_02: I think British, either British or Australian.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_02: He had that accent, whatever that accent is.
• 35:45
  SPEAKER_02: I think he's British.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_02: But he's great.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_02: He was really, really great.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_02: And not just because I interviewed him,
• 35:52
  SPEAKER_02: but I'm telling you guys,
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_02: when this Indigo record comes out,
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think it's out until October or November or something.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_02: But when you guys hear it,
• 35:59
  SPEAKER_02: if you liked the first two Asia records,
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_02: Asia Asia or Asia Astra, or Alpha, not Astra.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_02: Astra was the third.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_02: If you like those two records, you'll like this new one.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_02: It's really, really good.
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_02: So...
• 36:13
  SPEAKER_02: But he was really cool.
• 36:14
  SPEAKER_02: So that was pretty cool to chat with him.
• 36:17
  SPEAKER_02: And I talked to a few others that I cannot even remember at this point.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_02: It's, you know, it's been days now, so I don't remember who else I fucking talked to.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_01: So he's the Arnell Panetta Kelly Hansen of Asia.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_02: He is.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_02: And you know what?
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_02: He could probably,
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_02: if they could find a way to spin that somehow,
• 36:36
  SPEAKER_02: they should hire foreigners management.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_02: Because it's kind of the same thing.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_02: And an all-star band.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_02: I know they got,
• 36:46
  SPEAKER_02: forget who the guitar player is,
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_02: but he's somebody too, like in that instrumental world.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_02: But the drummer's that Virgil Donati, and he's a goddamn legend.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody that knows fusion drumming and prog drumming,
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_02: Virgil Donati is top, top of the food chain as a drummer.
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: So it's a talented band.
• 37:05
  SPEAKER_02: Very good stuff, man.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_02: Everybody's laughing.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_02: You can't see it,
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_02: but if you go to Rumble,
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: if you go to our thing,
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_02: everybody's liking the background that I put on the show tonight.
• 37:21
  SPEAKER_02: I made a fake twisted sister thing.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I see the Sebastian Bach thing, yeah.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_02: With the old people with oxygen tanks watching it.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_02: I was just fucking around today.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: Just in a silly mood.
• 37:39
  SPEAKER_02: I was like,
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_02: I want to see some fat old singer with a bunch of really old people with walkers
• 37:47
  SPEAKER_02: that have patches on them.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_02: And you can't really see it unless you really look at it.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_02: But all of the guys that are sitting there in their jean jackets,
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_02: they're all wearing patches,
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 37:57
  SPEAKER_02: like heavy metal patches,
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_02: but they say shit like Herman and the Hermits and fucking blue cheer and stuff.
• 38:06
  SPEAKER_02: The one guy has a Black Sabbath flavor flave clock on.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_01: It would be the Scott Clark crowd.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly right.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_02: I was just playing around.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, oh, that's funny.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's cool.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know,
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_01: it's kind of interesting when you stumble across a record that you were kind
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_01: of doubtful about, and then you're just like, strangely enough, I like this.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 38:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, just New Asia is really good for people that like Asia.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_02: I know that's not,
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_02: it's probably not most of the people in our crowd here,
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_02: but, you know, if you do, if you do, it's a good record.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_02: And if you don't, well, listen to my interview anyway, you fuckers.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_02: You might like that anyway.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, one thing I would like to see.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 39:04
  SPEAKER_01: And again, it's people who are part of the CMS Locals page.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you post a lot of content over there.
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 39:14
  SPEAKER_01: obviously the episodes from this show as well as your interviews
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: and various other things.
• 39:20
  SPEAKER_01: One thing I notice over there is...
• 39:24
  SPEAKER_01: There isn't a whole lot of interaction with the fans as far as like comments or,
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_01: you know, that kind of stuff.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean,
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: there's a little,
• 39:32
  SPEAKER_02: but there's not,
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 39:34
  SPEAKER_02: considering we have,
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what we have,
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think 865 members, there's not a lot of chatter in there.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_02: Whatever.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's not,
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_01: only if you really need to have something to say, but obviously it's just like, huh.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_01: You put a lot of stuff out there and it doesn't get a lot of reaction, I guess.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_02: It doesn't, but you know what?
• 39:58
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of people do,
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_02: and I wish they would do it in the local so everybody else could communicate
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_02: as well,
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_02: but a lot of people see the stuff and then they'll message me on another platform.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I got you.
• 40:12
  SPEAKER_02: So they'll see that I post something up,
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_02: whatever it is,
• 40:16
  SPEAKER_02: and they'll hit me on Facebook Messenger and be like, dude, that was really funny.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, well, mine is just posted in Locals.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'll see it.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I will see it.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_02: I'm obviously there.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really not on Facebook very much anymore.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_02: I only use the platforms that support us, and that is not Facebook.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_02: Really, the only place that I do interact online is Locals.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_02: And I do interact there a lot.
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, say what you want about the Locals page.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's active.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of people that do these kind of things with like a Locals or a Patreon
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_02: or whatever.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_02: And the only time they put up anything is when it's a paid thing.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_02: And I would say I probably put up four or five or six posts every single day, don't you think?
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
• 41:14
  SPEAKER_01: There's plenty of stuff up there.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_01: I usually peruse through there a little bit prior to the show.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_01: I don't typically look at it during the week or anything,
• 41:22
  SPEAKER_01: but I'll just see what's going on a Saturday before the show and just see what's
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: the latest and the greatest because obviously I get all the email notifications
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_01: when you post something over there,
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_01: so I know that you put something up,
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_01: but I'd just like to see what's going on now and again and
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_01: because I'm not big into the social media,
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_01: but since it's our show specifically,
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_01: I'll get in there and I'll make a comment now and again,
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_01: but it's about it, you know.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_02: Look at Fuego.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_02: Chris is crazy active on Locals.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_02: I have one sub where everything is paid.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean,
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_02: the way I kind of do it is if it's general news that I'm going to put like also on X
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: or something, I won't lock it down.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_02: But a lot of times,
• 42:18
  SPEAKER_02: and I mean a lot of times, I do, like I just ask the fans for opinions on stuff.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'll get a record or something and I will tell you,
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_02: and this is,
• 42:30
  SPEAKER_02: you know, it's not a sales pitch, but it's just a, hey, this is what I do.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of times I'll throw up a song that some publicist is asking me to interview
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_02: the band,
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 42:41
  SPEAKER_02: because I get asked all the time about,
• 42:43
  SPEAKER_02: hey, could you do this for me or could you do that for me or whatever?
• 42:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm, you know, I'm pretty amiable to doing all that stuff.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm happy to help the publicists anyway,
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_02: but I don't like to do it if I know our fans are going to hate it.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to do it if it's something that I don't like for one thing,
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_02: but I'm also not going to do it if If I like it and the fans are all like,
• 43:07
  SPEAKER_02: this fucking blows,
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to waste my time because I know nobody's going to listen to it
• 43:13
  SPEAKER_02: or watch it.
• 43:16
  SPEAKER_02: And so a lot of times I'll take a video from that band and I'll throw it in there
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_02: on Locals and I'll just be like, what do y'all think?
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_02: Do you want me to do this interview or not?
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_02: And they respond and then I kind of act off of that.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: A lot of times, too,
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_02: I get news from the fans,
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_02: like when we talk about the Skid Row thing tonight,
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_02: and I'll give credit where credit's due, this goes to John Phillips.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_02: John Phillips,
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_02: probably 10 seconds after the show ended last night,
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_02: had a YouTube video posted in the Locals.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_02: And that's where I'm going to get the YouTube video to show when we start talking
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_02: about that later on.
• 43:52
  SPEAKER_02: So...
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, locals is fun.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_02: For me, it's fun, and it's fine.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_02: And if people want to get in there and get more active, cool.
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I try to interact with everybody that does throw things in there.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it's not a comment.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it's just a like or something.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_02: Because a lot of times they do post shit that I really don't give two fucks about.
• 44:12
  SPEAKER_02: But, you know, I'll still react to it or try to...
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_02: Offered opinion.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_02: And sometimes, you know, like I forget who it is in the chat room.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_02: They mentioned it right now, but I'll post things that just people forgot.
• 44:25
  SPEAKER_02: Like this morning I was listening.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_02: I've been in like kind of this 90s kick this week,
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: listening to a bunch of 90s Candlebox and Sponge and,
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_02: you know, those types of bands, Pearl Jam, whatever.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_02: And I threw in this one Candlebox album,
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_02: the third Candlebox record, which is called Happy Pills.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_02: And immediately,
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_02: I forget who it was,
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_02: again, in the chat room, but they said, oh, my God, I forgot all about this.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, that's so cool that you posted it and reminded me.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'll read it for you.
• 44:55
  SPEAKER_02: Let me see.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_02: Where's the comment?
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: Comment is,
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_02: I have not listened to this one that I can recall,
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_02: but have heard others say it's great.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_02: The second album was a bit of a clunker for me.
• 45:06
  SPEAKER_02: First album is fantastic, top to bottom, blah, blah, blah.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_02: And it goes on and on.
• 45:10
  SPEAKER_02: And I answered that as well.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that was...
• 45:13
  SPEAKER_02: Fuego.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_02: Fuego said that.
• 45:16
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, Fuego, who's a regular in there, you know, he got something out of Locals.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_02: And that was a Locals locked post or a supporter only post or whatever.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_02: Because I was just throwing it up there as an opinion.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_02: It wasn't news or anything.
• 45:32
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, figured these guys are paying money to hear what kind of stupid shit I'm saying.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll let them be the only ones to hear the stupid shit I'm saying.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know, makes sense.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
