- 0:41SPEAKER_03: That's a new one.
- 0:42SPEAKER_03: Oh, Dougie Boy.
- 0:43SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, you just scared the crap out of me just a second.
- 0:47SPEAKER_02: I was I was getting stuff ready here before we hit record and and uh he starts singing Danny Boy, just really nice and soft.
- 0:55SPEAKER_02: And then all of a sudden it's well, I mean, what did you just do?
- 0:59SPEAKER_02: I just turned up the volume to about 11.
- 1:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, do it because I'm gonna take my headphones off and do it.
- 1:03SPEAKER_02: What's that?
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Sing it.
- 1:04SPEAKER_02: Do it again.
- 1:05SPEAKER_02: Ball coming! Yeah, I didn't know.
- 1:07SPEAKER_03: So I had I had my headphones on.
- 1:09SPEAKER_03: I was like, holy crap!
- 1:12SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
- 1:13SPEAKER_03: It was like one of those cartoons when somebody sees a mouse.
- 1:15SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 1:19SPEAKER_02: Um speaking of old old old cartoons.
- 1:22SPEAKER_02: You're talking about all the old cartoons, right?
- 1:24SPEAKER_02: Where somebody sees a mouse?
- 1:25SPEAKER_02: Is that what you're doing?
- 1:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the oldies.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: Um I you know, we have we have dish, but we don't have dish.
- 1:31SPEAKER_02: Dish has and you know, I don't know, they're probably gonna get is that some sort of Zen cone?
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: Well, no, no.
- 1:37SPEAKER_02: So then they don't advertise this like who?
- 1:41SPEAKER_02: Uh Dish Network.
- 1:43SPEAKER_02: I'm talking about the satellite service.
- 1:45SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 1:46SPEAKER_02: Okay, so they don't advertise this.
- 1:48SPEAKER_02: We have Dish, but we we We don't watch it, especially in the summer, because everybody's out doing stuff playing, you know, you know, uh baseball and soccer and and basketball and so we put it on uh we wanted to keep it just in case we wanted it again.
- 2:06SPEAKER_02: Because it's like eighty to a hundred bucks per month.
- 2:11SPEAKER_03: It's hard to keep those satellites up in the air.
- 2:13SPEAKER_03: Right, you gotta pay for it.
- 2:14SPEAKER_02: Right, exactly.
- 2:15SPEAKER_02: So they have this option where you can pay you can put your dish service on pause um for five dollars a month.
- 2:24SPEAKER_02: So in other words, you can keep dish, you can keep your your service uh in case you want to re-up so that you won't get any um fees to to order it again.
- 2:35SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 2:36SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: So we pay five dollars a month for six months, and we get like any b bonus channels that they have.
- 2:48SPEAKER_02: Um we get like uh maybe three channels, three or four channels.
- 2:52SPEAKER_02: Okay um anyway, the reason I'm telling you this whole story is because they just had a leave it to beaver marathon.
- 2:58SPEAKER_02: Oh.
- 2:59SPEAKER_02: So I had D VR and all the Leave It to Beavers.
- 3:01SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 3:02SPEAKER_02: It was pretty cool.
- 3:03SPEAKER_03: And I got my uh How many seasons was that show on?
- 3:06SPEAKER_02: That's a good question.
- 3:07SPEAKER_02: I uh do you really want me to find out?
- 3:09SPEAKER_02: Because I can.
- 3:10SPEAKER_03: Not really, but but it's it's an iconic uh sitcom.
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 3:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 3:17SPEAKER_03: It's it it's it's like I dream of genie, uh, you know, Gilligan's Island.
- 3:21SPEAKER_02: It's funny that you say that because um my daughter wanted to uh Which one?
- 3:28SPEAKER_02: My youngest uh wanted to watch TV or something like that.
- 3:32SPEAKER_02: So I introduced her to I Dream of Jeannie.
- 3:35SPEAKER_02: Um and she loved it.
- 3:39SPEAKER_03: Oh who wouldn't?
- 3:40SPEAKER_03: Like she It's actually a pretty great show.
- 3:42SPEAKER_02: Um and although there's a lot of innuendo in that show.
- 3:47SPEAKER_03: Innuendo.
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: Uh I'm trying to go uh I was trying to go to Wikipedia to see how many seasons, but it says uh please don't skip this one minute read.
- 4:01SPEAKER_02: Uh we humbly ask for your support.
- 4:03SPEAKER_02: They've created time knowledge revealable investigation of potential copyright issue.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: I don't know, Wikipedia is in trouble.
- 4:11SPEAKER_02: So I don't know.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:13SPEAKER_02: So I guess I guess I can't find out how many seasons Well it ran from fifty-seven to sixty-three.
- 4:18SPEAKER_03: Okay, so about six years.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: Roughly.
- 4:21SPEAKER_03: Something like that.
- 4:22SPEAKER_02: So um because yeah, I remember when Beaver was was really, really little.
- 4:27unknown: Yeah.
- 4:27SPEAKER_03: Jeez Wally.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: You know, and then Wally?
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: And then he was almost a teenager when the show went off the air, I thought.
- 4:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he was pretty he was up there, yeah.
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:36SPEAKER_02: His voice was changing and stuff like that.
- 4:37SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think that's why they got rid of him.
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 4:39SPEAKER_02: Anyway, um, so I I got a bunch of I haven't watched them yet, and I probably won't because we're so busy, but uh Leave It to Beaver.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: Um I had for a while I had Hazel.
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: You probably don't remember Hazel.
- 4:52SPEAKER_03: I do remember Hazel.
- 4:52SPEAKER_03: The the the housekeeper.
- 4:54SPEAKER_02: Yes, the housekeeper.
- 4:55SPEAKER_02: Uh I I watched all those, I deleted those.
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: Um because there weren't that many.
- 4:59SPEAKER_03: No, those.
- 5:00SPEAKER_02: And and um what is it?
- 5:02SPEAKER_02: Uh Father Knows Best.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 5:04SPEAKER_02: I had some of those DVR'd just like recently.
- 5:06SPEAKER_02: So it's it's kind of neat.
- 5:08SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, so every once in a while they'll do like they'll do a preview, a weekend preview of Showtime and the movie channel and stuff like that.
- 5:16SPEAKER_02: I get those previews.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
- 5:17SPEAKER_02: So I DVR all these movies for five bucks a month.
- 5:21SPEAKER_03: Well, that's pretty uh Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- 5:23SPEAKER_03: You're gaming the system is the kids.
- 5:25SPEAKER_02: Gaming the system, yes, but don't tell Dish that because exactly.
- 5:29SPEAKER_03: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 5:30SPEAKER_03: Uh I can't confirm or deny this conversation may or may not have had taken place.
- 5:34SPEAKER_02: So it's uh the holiday season.
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 5:43SPEAKER_02: You're hearing it in one ear again?
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 5:45SPEAKER_03: Did you listen to the podcast last week?
- 5:47SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 5:47SPEAKER_03: You could tell the difference.
- 5:50SPEAKER_04: You could.
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, this is the David Lee Roth one.
- 5:56SPEAKER_03: Oh, there we go.
- 5:59SPEAKER_07: There we go.
- 6:04SPEAKER_02: Jane, our bass player, sent us this.
- 6:07SPEAKER_02: Oh no, wait, I sent it.
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 6:09SPEAKER_02: No.
- 6:10SPEAKER_02: No, I think chained it.
- 6:15SPEAKER_02: It's just music is just amazing.
- 6:23SPEAKER_03: No, there we go.
- 6:31SPEAKER_03: That's just crazy how well it goes together.
- 6:35SPEAKER_03: But I'm more amazed at whoever figures this stuff out.
- 6:38SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 6:39SPEAKER_03: Who's sitting around going, hmm.
- 6:41SPEAKER_03: Ain't talk about love.
- 6:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 6:47SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: Well but don't go together.
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: It's just amazing how like song structures over the years are eerily similar.
- 6:56SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: So, anyway, we got that.
- 7:01SPEAKER_02: Um, and I know you uh have not been enjoying your holiday season um so far.
- 7:08SPEAKER_03: Ah, it's my boy Kev Mo.
- 7:10SPEAKER_03: Christmas is annoying.
- 7:13SPEAKER_03: It's my theme song.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: I don't know that we want to say what you do for a living.
- 7:20SPEAKER_02: Like what's what's your but let's just say that you are a front-facing um government employee that has to deal with a lot during the holidays.
- 7:34SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 7:36SPEAKER_02: That's not obvious at all.
- 7:37SPEAKER_02: People can probably figure out uh what that is without saying it.
- 7:41SPEAKER_03: Annoying.
- 7:45SPEAKER_08: I remember Caroline.
- 7:47SPEAKER_08: It's the Cab Moe is awesome, isn't he?
- 7:49SPEAKER_03: I love Kev Moe so much.
- 7:54SPEAKER_02: It's one of those artists that you know, this this aside, this is his Christmas album.
- 8:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but you could put Cab Moe on and I could listen to it.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: It could be on in the background, and I would joy enjoy almost every song.
- 8:08SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- 8:09SPEAKER_02: Because he has a sound, he has a just a just a vibe.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: Yep, he does.
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: And uh I dig it.
- 8:16unknown: Annoying.
- 8:17SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
- 8:18SPEAKER_02: I had to put that in there because that's one of the first things that you said when you walked into that.
- 8:22SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's true, man.
- 8:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: The first time I heard this song, I was like, Apologize to Jesus.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: That's my favorite line.
- 8:30SPEAKER_03: What was it apologized to Jesus?
- 8:32SPEAKER_03: We mustn't apologize to Jesus.
- 8:34SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 8:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, the first time I heard this song, I was like, Kev Moe is in my head.
- 8:41SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 8:41SPEAKER_03: You know what I mean?
- 8:43SPEAKER_02: It's just so commercialized that and you can't, you have to, you know, especially if you have kids, it's gotten to the point we we don't do this much anymore, but you feel it.
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: Like, for example, my I have five kids, obviously, and um you want to like if I get a big present for one, you feel like you should get a big present for all of them.
- 9:08SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 9:09SPEAKER_02: You know, where what you really want to do is get them something you think they'd be into, whether it's expensive or not.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 9:15SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 9:16SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:16SPEAKER_02: Um and actually, you really don't need to get them anything.
- 9:22SPEAKER_02: I mean, because that's not what Christmas is about, in my opinion.
- 9:25SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 9:25SPEAKER_02: But, you know, it's become such a cutthroat, you know, all my friends are getting the Oculus or the PS5.
- 9:35SPEAKER_02: Well, it's like, well, go over to your friend's house and play them then because you better move in with them.
- 9:39SPEAKER_03: I'll call I'll give them a call.
- 9:40SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 9:41SPEAKER_03: Uh see how much they charge for rent.
- 9:43SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:45SPEAKER_02: Merry Christmas.
- 9:46SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 9:47SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 9:48SPEAKER_03: Merry Christmas.
- 9:49SPEAKER_03: You're now a Johnson.
- 9:53SPEAKER_02: No, we try to do that that what what is that thing that you something you um something you something borrowed, something blue?
- 9:58SPEAKER_02: No, called cord, sort of.
- 10:00SPEAKER_02: Something you want, something you need, something you wear, something you read.
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 10:05SPEAKER_03: I have never heard that in my life.
- 10:07SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 10:08SPEAKER_02: No.
- 10:08SPEAKER_02: So we you know that we they make a Christmas list, and it's you only get four things?
- 10:13SPEAKER_02: Not necessarily only four things, but we'd we'd start with those four things.
- 10:16SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 10:17SPEAKER_02: And then, you know, you can get, I mean, little things here and there.
- 10:19SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 10:20SPEAKER_02: But uh definitely those four things.
- 10:23SPEAKER_02: So um we What was it again?
- 10:26SPEAKER_02: It was something you want, something you need.
- 10:29SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: Something you wear, something you read.
- 10:32SPEAKER_03: What what if something you need and something you wear is the same thing?
- 10:36SPEAKER_03: Like underwear.
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: Well I mean a lot of people just they don't buy underwear throughout the year and then they get it for Christmas.
- 10:44SPEAKER_02: It's a good point.
- 10:44SPEAKER_02: Three gifts.
- 10:47SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Doug.
- 10:48SPEAKER_02: You just saved me some money.
- 10:50SPEAKER_02: There you go.
- 10:51SPEAKER_02: I'm gaming the system.
- 10:54SPEAKER_02: So uh, you know, they make a Christmas list still.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: You know, my oldest two don't really, I mean, we'll say, What do you want for Christmas?
- 11:03SPEAKER_02: And they'll say money, clothes, sure, you know, this, this and that, whatever.
- 11:09SPEAKER_02: Um and so we we we pick one of those things off the list, maybe two of those things off the list.
- 11:16SPEAKER_02: That's something they want, and then we'll get them underwear or whatever.
- 11:20SPEAKER_02: Why not?
- 11:21SPEAKER_02: Then we'll get them something that some other other thing that they can wear and a book that we thought I think that they would be interested in.
- 11:26SPEAKER_02: That's a good idea.
- 11:27SPEAKER_02: Not that they read books, but we want to encourage it.
- 11:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah, absolutely.
- 11:30SPEAKER_03: I'm uh I'm currently building my library.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: Um I'm well in two different two different uh subjects.
- 11:40SPEAKER_03: Well, not subjects, but styles.
- 11:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 11:43SPEAKER_03: I'm building up my military history library.
- 11:46SPEAKER_03: And I'm also subscribed to the greatest books ever written collection.
- 11:52SPEAKER_03: Nice.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, uh a lot of them I don't know.
- 11:57SPEAKER_03: Like my recent one was Silas Marner.
- 12:00SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: Never heard of it until I got the book.
- 12:03SPEAKER_02: I think I've heard of it, but I don't even know.
- 12:05SPEAKER_02: I have no clue what I think.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 12:06SPEAKER_02: I don't know what it's about, right?
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: I don't either.
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: I I I I read the synopsis.
- 12:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: And it's basically this guy, he's kind of a loner and he like adopts this little girl who's orphaned and she grows up, you know, and I I don't know if they go on a like an adventure or something, but I I forgot what the synopsis was.
- 12:26SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 12:26SPEAKER_03: But you know.
- 12:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:36SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 12:37SPEAKER_03: So I was like, ah, why don't I start just building my library now?
- 12:40SPEAKER_03: You know, you know, and then and then, you know, in a million years I'll uh I'll sit down and I'll start reading these books and then more like 15.
- 12:49SPEAKER_03: Well, hopefully.
- 12:50SPEAKER_03: Um hopeful and uh, you know, you'll just find me dead in a chair with a book in my lap.
- 12:56SPEAKER_02: A good book, probably.
- 12:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 12:58SPEAKER_02: One of the best rooks books ever written.
- 13:00SPEAKER_03: Where's Waldo?
- 13:01SPEAKER_03: What the Chuck was hitting it heavy.
- 13:06SPEAKER_02: That's cool though.
- 13:08SPEAKER_03: Um Yeah, it's it's fun.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: I that that's one of the reasons.
- 13:10SPEAKER_03: But I'm also, you know, but I'm also building my music library.
- 13:13SPEAKER_03: Like, you know, I make sure I have like Zeppelin.
- 13:16SPEAKER_03: Yep.
- 13:17SPEAKER_03: Metallica, you know, big you know, Van Halen.
- 13:19SPEAKER_03: Me too.
- 13:20SPEAKER_02: And that's that's one of the reasons I'm building my vinyl library.
- 13:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: Honestly.
- 13:23SPEAKER_02: And that's a, you know, because my wife is be like, you don't even listen to vinyl.
- 13:27SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 13:27SPEAKER_02: I you know what I would give to come down here and just slap on some vinyl and just veg for a while.
- 13:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:33SPEAKER_02: But we can't because our lives are so hectic.
- 13:35SPEAKER_02: So when I retire, I'm gonna come down here and I'm gonna You're just gonna listen to vinyl.
- 13:40SPEAKER_02: Listen to vinyl.
- 13:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:41SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 13:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's a it's a great thing to sit and listen to an album and read.
- 13:45SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 13:45SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 13:46SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
- 13:46SPEAKER_03: There's something very comforting about that.
- 13:48SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
- 13:48SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
- 13:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 13:50SPEAKER_02: When we were kids, and I was thinking this too, um, I started a bad habit.
- 13:55SPEAKER_02: Uh, and I say it's a bad habit because um heroin.
- 14:00SPEAKER_02: You got me.
- 14:01SPEAKER_02: I know.
- 14:02SPEAKER_02: Um I say it's chasing the dragon.
- 14:04SPEAKER_02: I don't s I don't sleep well without um music.
- 14:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:12SPEAKER_02: I my wife will argue that you know I'd fall asleep in two minutes, you know, which is probably true, but I don't sleep well.
- 14:19SPEAKER_02: Because when I was a kid, I used to listen to the radio when I went to bed, or I would put headphones on and listen to a uh an album, C D, you know.
- 14:29SPEAKER_03: I never could I could never sleep with headphones on.
- 14:31SPEAKER_02: I try you know but the thing is is I would listen to I would I would love the feeling of just getting lost in the song.
- 14:37SPEAKER_03: Oh, sure, yeah.
- 14:38SPEAKER_02: And with the headphones you can hear all the intricate pieces you get lost in the song.
- 14:42SPEAKER_02: And then probably by the middle of the second or third song, I'd be out.
- 14:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:47SPEAKER_03: You know, but I remember putting a little I had a little transistor radio and I put it under my pillow.
- 14:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 14:54SPEAKER_03: You know, and it would be on W E G P or Right.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: You know.
- 14:57SPEAKER_02: We used to I used to listen to the um well at the time it was uh W D Hatter Ces Nev, FM W D H P right And they had the they had Vic St.
- 15:13SPEAKER_02: John and uh Jason Taylor, these were all these DJs, and they did the phaser five countdown at nine.
- 15:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:22SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 15:23SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 15:23SPEAKER_02: Uh and I remember this uh distinctly because I remember when Pour Some Sugar on Me was number one for I don't know how many nights on the Phaser 5 countdown because if and this was like what 86, 87?
- 15:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know, and I I would I have to keep the w the the headphones and walk under my pillow because my mom would get mad.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:42SPEAKER_02: You know, put that thing away and go to sleep, you know, that type of thing.
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: But I used to live for that, you know, getting lost in in and stuff like that, and and now to this day, so um when I when I go to bed at night, it's like I'm laying there and I'm like I'm trying to try to go to sleep and I can't because I'm thinking about, you know.
- 16:02SPEAKER_02: But if I put a a pair of headphones on earbuds or whatever, and just listen for a few minutes, I'm out.
- 16:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 16:10SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 16:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I always put on some cold drain.
- 16:12SPEAKER_02: So it's not necessarily by yourself.
- 16:14SPEAKER_02: It's not necessarily a good habit, but it's not I don't think it's a terrible habit.
- 16:18SPEAKER_03: But I have it's better than like, you know, drinking a fifth of vodka and then going to bed.

- 18:20SPEAKER_03: True, true.
- 18:21SPEAKER_03: Maybe we could score an interview with them.
- 18:22SPEAKER_02: Speaking of that, uh none of those leads uh came through.
- 18:26SPEAKER_02: I mean, I maybe I'll email him again, and maybe it's just about being annoying and persistent.

- 26:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 26:40SPEAKER_03: Where are we?
- 26:41SPEAKER_03: We were talking about Megadeth.
- 26:42SPEAKER_03: We went from Mega Death to Big Pharma.
- 26:45SPEAKER_03: Same thing.
- 26:46SPEAKER_03: We're good.
- 26:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I I watch those things and I'm like, why are you even advertising this if all the side effects are, you know, you could die.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: Well, I like I like it when they when they're talking about the side effects.
- 26:59SPEAKER_03: What you're watching is like a guy playing with his kids or you know, a man and a woman, you know, walking on the beach or something like that.
- 27:07SPEAKER_03: It's something very, you know, just very comforting and very fun and you know, like idea uh idyllic, you know, and you're like, uh, you could you could you know, anal bleeding and uh your stomach could come out your nose and you know stuff like that, you know.
- 27:23SPEAKER_03: They they want to distract you with the like you know what's going on away from the side effects.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: Because you're watching, like, oh wow, you know, we'd like I'd like to go hiking.
- 27:33SPEAKER_03: Wait, did he say something about heart attack?
- 27:36SPEAKER_03: Nah, never mind.
- 27:37SPEAKER_03: We should go hiking.
- 27:41SPEAKER_02: Oh my word.
- 27:43SPEAKER_02: Um oh, we should do this.
- 27:47SPEAKER_02: Uh according to ultimate classicrock.com, there is an unearthed uh dinosaur Kevin DuBrot era Quiet Riot song that features Rudy Sarzo and Frankie Benaly.
- 28:02SPEAKER_02: I'm assuming uh Carlos Cavazzo on guitar, but I wonder if it's a Randy Roddy on guitar.
- 28:09SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 28:11SPEAKER_02: Um just here, I'll play it and then we'll uh I'll see if I can read along here.
- 28:18SPEAKER_02: The song is called I Can't Hold On.
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: A demo for a song was written and recorded by Kevin DeBro and Alex Grassi.
- 28:28SPEAKER_02: It was lost until it was found on an iPod in 2021.
- 28:33SPEAKER_02: It was lost until it was.
- 28:35SPEAKER_03: It was lost until it was found.
- 28:38SPEAKER_03: Wow!
- 28:40SPEAKER_02: So deep.
- 28:41SPEAKER_02: It's a secret meeting, we don't know what it is.
- 28:43SPEAKER_02: It's a secret prize.
- 28:46SPEAKER_02: So Alex Grassi is the guitar player, I guess.
- 28:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, okay.
- 28:58SPEAKER_03: Now when was this?
- 29:09SPEAKER_03: Doesn't sound like an eighties recording.
- 29:11SPEAKER_03: I think they may have uh.
- 29:43SPEAKER_02: I guess they didn't remember Alex de Grosso Grassi uh plays guitar, the current version of Quiet Ride with Rudy Sarzo.
- 29:50SPEAKER_02: Um he discovered the recording by chance in 2021 and then decided to finish it.
- 29:58SPEAKER_02: So that's why it sounds like it does.
- 30:00SPEAKER_03: Okay, that makes sense.
- 30:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 30:08SPEAKER_02: So this does feature Frankie Benaly on drums.
- 30:12SPEAKER_02: Rudy Sarzo put the bass to it.
- 30:14SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 30:15SPEAKER_02: And they they finished the track.
- 30:17SPEAKER_02: So it's pretty good.
- 30:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean it's doesn't sound like Kevin DeBro.
- 30:24SPEAKER_02: Not really, no.
- 30:26SPEAKER_03: I mean you can tell.
- 30:27SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you can.
- 30:28SPEAKER_03: You can tell, but you're used to Of course the older you get, the less you can do that.
- 30:38SPEAKER_02: So yeah, so Kevin DeBro put it.
- 30:42SPEAKER_03: There's a there's a tambourine in the background.
- 30:45SPEAKER_02: Kevin Du Brook passed away in 2007, which I I guess I didn't realize it was that long ago.
- 30:50SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's been a while, yeah.
- 30:51SPEAKER_02: I know Benaly passed away a couple years ago.
- 30:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 31:00SPEAKER_02: I actually like it.
- 31:02SPEAKER_03: I do too.
- 31:02SPEAKER_03: It's good.
- 31:05SPEAKER_02: And the video is a little difficult to watch because there's footage of Frankie Benale's cancer fight.
- 31:14SPEAKER_02: So anyway.
- 31:22SPEAKER_02: No, what I was gonna say about the whole Frontiers thing is I guess I because I don't know where to begin.
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: Um I was I was I found there's a band that I really loved um that I thought was highly underrated.
- 31:43SPEAKER_02: And I was because I was I was doing something down here and I was cleaning, and I have um uh on my my uh iTunes have like shuffle.
- 31:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 31:53SPEAKER_02: And I have uh certain styles of music on a playlist, and I just shuffled, and it was it's like melodic rock type stuff.
- 31:59SPEAKER_02: Sure.
- 32:00SPEAKER_02: And because I like I like all music really, but I have an affinity for journey, you know, um melodic uh rock and roll with kind of an edge.
- 32:15SPEAKER_02: Journey is very popish though com lately, but um that early journey with Steve Perry was just awesome.
- 32:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:23SPEAKER_02: Even the the like the the uh album tracks, you know, not the hits.
- 32:27SPEAKER_02: Um Edge of the Blade, you know, stuff like that.
- 32:30SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:30SPEAKER_02: Um and I just really like melody and just catchy chorus, big choruses, and great guitar, melodic guitar like Neil Sean.
- 32:42SPEAKER_02: And so there was this band that and we've talked about it before, I think.
- 32:47SPEAKER_02: Um Signal.
- 32:49SPEAKER_02: Do you remember talking about Signal?
- 32:53SPEAKER_02: The lead singer was a guy named Mark Free.
- 32:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think you'll remember if I tell you this.
- 32:58SPEAKER_02: The lead singer was a guy named Mark Free, who's now Marcy Free.
- 33:04SPEAKER_02: I told you this, right?
- 33:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well I th I think we talked about this before.
- 33:07SPEAKER_02: Ranging a bell.
- 33:08SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 33:09SPEAKER_02: Anyway, it's just great stuff.
- 33:12SPEAKER_02: And it I I so I went and looking looking for you can go to Google and you can type in artists similar to Signal.
- 33:20SPEAKER_02: And um FM came up.
- 33:23SPEAKER_02: Do you remember the band FM?
- 33:25SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah.
- 33:26SPEAKER_03: Great band.
- 33:27SPEAKER_03: Great band.
- 33:28SPEAKER_02: Um Aren't they a Frontiers?
- 33:31SPEAKER_02: They I think they have released stuff on Frontiers, yes.
- 33:34SPEAKER_02: Um there's a band called The Storm, which was members of Journey after Journey broke up in the late 80s.
- 33:42SPEAKER_02: Greg Raleigh and and two guys from Journey.
- 33:44SPEAKER_02: There's a member, there's a band called Work of Art, Harem Scarum, which is one of my favorite.
- 33:50SPEAKER_02: Oh, I love Harem Scarum.
- 33:51SPEAKER_02: Um but let's see.
- 33:53SPEAKER_02: So you don't remember Signal.
- 33:55SPEAKER_02: Let's see if I can find Signal here.
- 33:57SPEAKER_02: Because I remember hearing uh this one song on Pirate Radio.
- 34:03SPEAKER_02: And I I could uh you know, I'm saying this now, I could swear that we talked about these guys.
- 34:09SPEAKER_03: Might have.
- 34:09SPEAKER_03: I I just I have no recollection.
- 34:11SPEAKER_03: So this uh Senator, I have no recollection of that.
- 34:15SPEAKER_02: So just check out this.
- 34:17SPEAKER_02: This was the first song I ever heard from Signal, and it was on Pirate Radio.
- 34:22SPEAKER_02: Uh and this just came blasting through the speakers.
- 35:47SPEAKER_03: So my I was I don't know why, but I'm picturing Ralph Macchio and Elizabeth Shu at that fun part thing, amusement part, arcade thing, and the first karate kid movie.
- 36:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 36:02SPEAKER_03: For some reason, that's all I can think about while this song is playing.
- 36:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:07SPEAKER_03: I don't know why.
- 36:08SPEAKER_02: I can I'm not I can say just so super 80s.
- 36:11SPEAKER_02: Well, it is, it is.
- 36:13SPEAKER_02: And and and I mean it should be dayglow green.
- 36:16SPEAKER_02: Well, here's the thing.
- 36:18SPEAKER_02: So everything else, 80s, has come back.
- 36:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:24SPEAKER_02: Like even in the music today that you hear on the radio, there's a very 80s vibe to it.
- 36:28SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 36:28SPEAKER_02: Um that was the best decade.
- 36:30SPEAKER_02: I mean, what can we say?
- 36:31SPEAKER_02: So is Frontiers where this music lives now?
- 36:35SPEAKER_02: It's gotta be.
- 36:36SPEAKER_02: Because you can't hear it anywhere else.
- 36:38SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah.
- 36:38SPEAKER_02: You don't hear it on the radio.
- 36:39SPEAKER_03: They're gonna bring it, they're you know, keeping it alive, but the radio doesn't play it.
- 36:44SPEAKER_02: I you know, for people that love this kind of music.
- 36:48SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, Frontiers is probably making a killing off those people.
- 36:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know if they're making a killing.
- 36:54SPEAKER_03: Well, probably not, but enough to keep the lights on.
- 36:56SPEAKER_02: Yeah, true.

- 49:01SPEAKER_02: Country Legends Alphabet.
- 49:03SPEAKER_02: Alright.
- 49:04SPEAKER_02: By Becky Finer.
- 49:06unknown: Beck.
- 49:08SPEAKER_02: And the letter of the day is I.
- 49:11SPEAKER_03: Um yes.
- 49:14SPEAKER_03: This is a stretch.
- 49:16SPEAKER_03: Excuse me.
- 49:18SPEAKER_03: I had one of change drinks through the phone.
- 49:24SPEAKER_03: Telepathically.
- 49:26SPEAKER_02: No, this is uh this is a stretch.
- 49:28SPEAKER_02: Um I'm not I'm gonna say that this person is a country legend.
- 49:34SPEAKER_02: Um, I would say a modern country legend.
- 49:36SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 49:37SPEAKER_02: Uh I would say the first diamond-selling country artist.
- 49:41SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 49:42SPEAKER_02: Um, but I is for Shania.
- 49:48SPEAKER_03: Oh, that is so lame.
- 49:50SPEAKER_03: Twain?
- 49:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that is that's a that's a bit of a stretch.
- 49:54SPEAKER_03: That's a big stretch.
- 49:55SPEAKER_03: But I mean, I think she belongs in the book.
- 49:57SPEAKER_03: I think so too.
- 49:58SPEAKER_02: So uh Shania brought country to a new audience in the 90s.
- 50:02SPEAKER_02: Oh uh, thanks to uh Robert John Mutt Lang.
- 50:05SPEAKER_02: That's not in here, but uh belting out empowering tunes like Man, I feel like a woman, and that don't impress me much.
- 50:11SPEAKER_02: She was a trailblazer for modern women of country and pop.
- 50:14SPEAKER_02: I will give her that.
- 50:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:16SPEAKER_02: You could say Taylor Swift owes her an honorary line dance.
- 50:20SPEAKER_02: Okay, so that was lame.
- 50:22SPEAKER_03: That was terrible.
- 50:23SPEAKER_02: That was terrible.
- 50:24SPEAKER_02: Um do better, Beck.
- 50:25SPEAKER_02: Yeah, come on, Becky.
- 50:27SPEAKER_02: Uh Shania does belong in this book.
- 50:29SPEAKER_03: Um should have been S or T.
- 50:32SPEAKER_03: I mean, come on.
- 50:33SPEAKER_03: You got two choices there.
- 50:34SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna look ahead to see what S and T are.
- 50:37SPEAKER_02: And uh, well.
- 50:40SPEAKER_02: Um couldn't have been done.
- 50:44SPEAKER_02: Uh yeah, I think it probably could have.
- 50:49SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 50:49SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
- 50:50SPEAKER_02: But so there you go.
- 50:51SPEAKER_02: That's your country legends alphabet.

- 51:18SPEAKER_03: Goo goo goo.
- 51:21SPEAKER_03: Silly and intentionally confusing.
- 51:24SPEAKER_03: This song is a fantastical journey into the wild imagination of the legendary John Lennon.

- 1:02:22SPEAKER_03: I did.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_03: So it's somebody like Richard Marks.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_03: Is it Kenny Loggins?
- 1:02:26SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_02: A little harder edge than Richard Marks.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_03: Well, that could be anybody.

- 1:03:19SPEAKER_02: When this person used to do concerts, people used to jokingly shout, Bruce!
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_03: Man, that makes no sense.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_03: Why would they say Bruce?
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_02: Because his last name was so close to another artist.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_03: Bruce Springs name?
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:03:47SPEAKER_03: Oh, it's Ingve Malmste.

- 1:04:08SPEAKER_02: And the Odyssey.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_03: Well, I didn't have the Odyssey.
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_02: The Odyssey, which has Joe Jeff Scott Soto uh singing lead for him.
- 1:04:15SPEAKER_02: It was uh what was that one?

- 1:07:51SPEAKER_07: This is called I Don't Want Anything From You You Only Want Me when you're high, and you try to heal with your crucify.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_06: It's the same shit, every day you say sorry like it's about to change everything and everything's okay.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_06: But everything you gave to me, you went and gave away everybody else with a dick.
- 1:08:36SPEAKER_02: Anything you gave to me, you went and gave to everybody else with a dick.
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_03: This is not the most flattering song, flattering album towards the female gender.
- 1:09:00SPEAKER_06: And I liked you better the way you were.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_06: You're a sad little fleach and you say sorry like it's gonna change everything and make it go away.

- 1:09:32SPEAKER_02: Uh let me just play a piece of that.
- 1:09:36SPEAKER_02: Um you would think it sounds like Jesse's girl, right?
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_07: Perfect body, perfect skill, though it's no perfect anything.
- 1:10:07SPEAKER_07: But it's not enough.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_07: It's not enough.
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_07: In the name, in the name, you see why I say it's like his heaviest album.
- 1:10:34SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, because this is definitely.
- 1:10:36SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.

- 1:12:19SPEAKER_02: So, and there's one called my uh The Invisible Girl.
- 1:12:23SPEAKER_02: This one I like because uh Rick Springfield has a documented uh he's dealt with depression his his entire life.
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_02: And so he's got a song in there called My Depression, which is basically his life story.
- 1:12:35SPEAKER_02: Um, I don't know what I'm wasting a lot of time on this, but uh I I dig this album.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_02: It can only be attributable.

- 1:15:04SPEAKER_02: You know, you're a little messed up and you're you're hurting, you know, and I I understand that.
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_02: There's one song I skipped here because I want to go back to it because I think it's pretty uh pretty poignant.
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_02: There's a song in the middle.
- 1:15:15SPEAKER_02: I don't know that it has anything to do with the album, uh but it's it's it's it's a song for missing children.
- 1:15:23SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:15:23SPEAKER_02: It's called Angels of the Disappeared, and I thought it was really well done and really moving.
- 1:15:35SPEAKER_07: To all the angels of the disappeared.
- 1:15:40SPEAKER_07: May they sleep in your arms tonight, and may they know they're not forgotten here, and the angels of the disappeared are on a city corner over downtown subwitch, and the world is watching and waiting to stay.

- 1:18:15SPEAKER_02: Yep.
- 1:18:16SPEAKER_02: Um God And I don't think that has a lot.
- 1:18:20SPEAKER_02: Well, I mean it's it's grief.
- 1:18:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:18:22SPEAKER_02: Obviously, but you know, I can see where it fits in.
- 1:18:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:18:26SPEAKER_02: But if you're talking about you know, like the beginning, he's talking about a woman who did him wrong.
- 1:18:31SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 1:18:31SPEAKER_02: And in the end, he's talking about, uh, maybe it's not me.
- 1:18:34SPEAKER_02: Maybe there you've got some demons, you know, and this but then and that's smack in the middle.
- 1:18:39SPEAKER_02: So I I might have put that as at the end, like uh as a bonus track or something like that.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_02: But but yeah, it was uh it was uh a great album.
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_02: It's it's not mixed very well, I didn't think because there was some you and and you forget how he wrote all these songs, by the way.
- 1:18:56SPEAKER_02: And you forget he's a great lyricist.
- 1:18:59SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:19:00SPEAKER_02: Um and it's a in it's he's a unique lyricist.
- 1:19:03SPEAKER_02: Uh what was that song that he did with uh roll in the flu fire?
- 1:19:10SPEAKER_03: Um I have it somewhere.
- 1:19:16SPEAKER_02: I I have no idea.

- 1:19:27SPEAKER_02: I agree.
- 1:19:30SPEAKER_02: And and I think we've made no about the fact that Rick Springfield is the guy that maybe one of the things.
- 1:19:39SPEAKER_03: I like watching them in the documentary.
- 1:19:41SPEAKER_03: Dave talking to the camera and he's like I came in one day and I talked to my father's like, guess what we're calling like Rick Happened Springfield.

- 1:20:02SPEAKER_02: This is on the Sound City soundtrack, uh, the Foo Fighter Foo Fighters, the Dave Grohl uh documentary, and which is this the Foo Fighters and Rick Springfield, and this is the man that never was.
- 1:20:26SPEAKER_02: That doesn't make you want to play rock and roll.
- 1:20:27SPEAKER_02: I don't know what that is.
- 1:20:28SPEAKER_03: I know, right?
- 1:20:29SPEAKER_02: Anytime we have a gig coming crossing, I always watch the Sound City Sound Street.
- 1:20:33SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.

- 1:20:53SPEAKER_07: I won't wake up to make me play.
- 1:20:58SPEAKER_07: Some time to do the black, do I go with that?
- 1:21:11SPEAKER_05: Just because sometime you make me feel like just like the man that never was.

- 1:21:19SPEAKER_02: Uh good stuff.
- 1:21:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:21:21SPEAKER_02: And most people think of him as just, you know, for the song Jesse's gonna be in that pop the pop era, but he's he's a rocker, man.
- 1:21:29SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, he is a rocker.
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_02: He's a rocker, and he's like like Sammy Higar, man, he's still doing it, like 74 years old.

- 1:21:46SPEAKER_02: I just gotta play a little bit of this one.
- 1:21:48SPEAKER_02: This is one of my favorites.
- 1:21:50SPEAKER_02: That's a live one.
- 1:21:52SPEAKER_02: That's a video.
- 1:21:53SPEAKER_03: Oh I think I would like Ingve more if he wasn't such an egotistical jerk off.
