1:26
SPEAKER_01: Um I work at a uh I work work at an elementary school, so there's a there's a good chance that there's a bunch of stuff running around at uh at that school.
1:35
SPEAKER_01: So I but I can't say that I that's that's where I got it, but we don't really go anywhere.
1:40
SPEAKER_05: Um except I remember when I was teach when I was teaching at the high school, that place was like a freaking germ factor.
1:46
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
1:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:48
SPEAKER_05: Every winter, man.
1:49

1:56
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:57
SPEAKER_05: That's just you get that many people, especially kids, in together in one place, man.

SPEAKER_05: I don't care what you do.
2:05
SPEAKER_01: Oh sure.
2:06

2:07
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, even even with all the the the precautions that you take them, we we wear masks, you know, all day long and and things like that.
2:14
SPEAKER_01: So but and I and again, I can't say that that's where I got it, but that's where I'm assuming I got it.
2:20
SPEAKER_01: Um and I was actually, you know, I was okay in the beginning part of it.
2:24
SPEAKER_01: I mean, if anybody in my family was gonna get it, it uh I was the the worst one to get it because I'm a big guy and you know, and it it I I didn't want to end up in in the hospital, you know, things like that, but that there's a good possibility that I get that I I could have uh gone that route.
2:41
SPEAKER_01: Um so I was excited because I was you know, I'm in the fun dungeon right now, and this is where I was going to quarantine, and I was going to uh spend some time writing songs, I was going to catch up on some uh TV shows, like I watched the first three seasons of Yellowstone, um, which is really good.
3:05
SPEAKER_05: But then watched all three, isn't that all they have?
3:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: Well they're on season four, they're on season four now.
3:12
SPEAKER_01: Um I I really enjoyed it, but I it's it's it's weird.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: I really enjoyed it, but uh I I don't care if I ever see another episode because the there is such a lack of morality in that in that show.
3:26
SPEAKER_01: Uh it's really real well done, and I'm glad I watched it, but I don't know that I'll keep watching it.
3:31
SPEAKER_05: Anyway, so uh you know I was a it's just it's just Kevin Costner being Kevin Costner in Yellowstone.
3:38
SPEAKER_05: I mean, we've talked about Kevin Costner before.
3:41
SPEAKER_05: Whatever whatever movie or show he does, he's Kevin Costner.
3:44
SPEAKER_05: It's just Kevin Costner.
3:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and again, it's good.
3:50
SPEAKER_05: He's not a character actor, he's just a guy.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:53
SPEAKER_05: It's like he's a good actor, but he's just he's always the same guy.
3:56
SPEAKER_05: Doesn't matter what he is.
3:58
SPEAKER_05: It's like George Clooney.
4:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, George Clee's the same way, man.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: I uh let me There's no Johnny Depp, you know.
4:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna turn that heater off because I think it's putting off some some noise here.
4:10
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I I I describe it as the godfather of the West.
4:13
SPEAKER_01: Um I mean it was it was uh it was really well done and is really well done, and it's basically a soap opera now.
4:20
SPEAKER_01: Uh but there's no Yeah boy, I did I turned the heater off and the audio just dropped, which is good.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: Should have done that before.
4:28

4:29
SPEAKER_01: Um But I was excited, you know, I was gonna try and write some songs and things, and and the first few days um I just was catching up on Yellowstone and everything, and then it took a turn for the worse, and it got turned into a bad flu.

4:51
SPEAKER_01: And achy, headache that I can't get rid of, um uh a little bit of nausea, you know, nothing really major, but the but the symptoms were there and and they were, you know, it was it was a bad flu, and I don't mean to diminish it by any stretch, but I mean it was you know, I've had the flu before, and the flu can get pretty bad, and and this was worse than that.
5:17
SPEAKER_01: Um but again, um I think pretty manageable.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: But um we got all kind of freaked out when I wasn't getting better, so we arranged to to uh go up to the hospital and have um the infusion of uh anti uh uh micro what is it called again?
5:38
SPEAKER_01: Micro something antibodies.
5:40
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so I was a put on an IV for about three hours, and uh supposedly that speeds up the process and keeps you out of the hospital, which which was good that I could I was able to do that.
5:52
SPEAKER_01: And then the rest of the week, um, it's just I'm tired.
5:57

6:34
SPEAKER_01: And I did, and it was they were both positive.
6:37
SPEAKER_01: But they were home tests, and you can't really, you know, the the dependability of those tests are you know, so I went to get the Walgreens.

8:18

8:20
SPEAKER_01: The other two, uh my two youngest, uh virtually didn't even touch him.
8:27
SPEAKER_01: Uh so they're both po they're well one of them's positive right now, but you would never know it.
8:33
SPEAKER_01: Um so we're in a good place right now.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: Um so I'm happy to say uh that we've uh we got through it and now we're uh we have a bit of natural immunity at le at least for a little while.
8:48
SPEAKER_01: Um you know, uh if you are one to get vaccinated, then get vaccinated.
8:54
SPEAKER_01: If you are not one to get vaccinated, just know that it's a bad flu.
9:00
SPEAKER_01: Um and uh and I don't want to belittle that at all because well, for example, a friend of the family uh I just found out passed away yesterday.
9:09
SPEAKER_01: Um but he people I I got you know the rumor meal goes around, oh he died of COVID.
9:15
SPEAKER_01: Well, did he though?
9:16
SPEAKER_01: Because like maybe six, seven years ago he had quadruple bypass surgery, and so come to find out he had COVID and he wasn't getting any better.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: So he went into the hospital, and when he got to the hospital, he went into cardiac arrest, and they revived him, put him on a a vent, and come to find out he had um stage four leukemia that nobody knew about.
9:46
SPEAKER_01: So he died.
9:48
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I I heard about that last night too.
9:50
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
9:50
SPEAKER_01: So he died with COVID, but not from COVID.
9:53
SPEAKER_01: COVID, of course, you know, exacerbated his other, you know, even if his immune system was was uh really, really in good shape, he probably still would not have survived.
10:02
SPEAKER_01: So but you know, again, that's why I say I don't want to belittle, you know, uh COVID because it's it's more than just a bad flu, but um it it is survivable uh if you do the right thing and take the right precautions and all that stuff.
10:17
SPEAKER_01: So but I'm glad to be back.
10:20
SPEAKER_01: Um we're not this place is uh I will tell you this.
10:23
SPEAKER_01: I love the fun dungeon.
10:25
SPEAKER_01: I can't wait to get out of here at this point.
10:28
SPEAKER_05: I was about to say, you've been in there for two weeks now.
10:30
SPEAKER_05: Right.
10:31
SPEAKER_05: Well I've been out so fun dungeon.
10:33
SPEAKER_01: Right.
10:34
SPEAKER_01: And it's trashed, dude.
10:36
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've got I've got I've got Gatorade bottles and water bottles and and uh saltine crackers and just and and books I was hoping to read.
10:49
SPEAKER_01: I started reading the uh Dave Grohl book.
10:51
SPEAKER_01: I only got a few chapters in because it's just it's just you know, you you have plans that you know, like oh, I got a bunch of books I want to read, I want to watch a bunch of stuff, but it just gets so tired, you know, and and and uh so I didn't I didn't get to do any any of those things that I really wanted to do.
11:09
SPEAKER_01: And so I thought it would be better because technically, even though I'm not contagious um at this point uh to do the podcast, the first podcast back via Zoom, just to keep you safe and uh and so I don't have to clean.
11:26
SPEAKER_01: At least for a little while.
11:31
SPEAKER_01: Um but hopefully, um because the kids are hopefully going back to school next Monday, um, and I I'll have a chance to clean this place up.
11:40
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully, we can get back to uh in person here in the Fun Dungeon next week um for season five, episode four.
11:49
SPEAKER_01: So wow, yeah.
11:51
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I was about to say, because uh, you know, I didn't want to come out, I wanted to keep uh everybody interested, so I came up with that.

12:23
SPEAKER_01: Although I did on my personal page, I did reach out to to people asking for some some extra prayers because it was rough there for a while.
12:30
SPEAKER_01: But uh for as far as you know the podcast and things, I I just I wanted people to know that uh circumstances somewhat beyond our control, that there will be no podcast this week or the following week, actually.

12:51
SPEAKER_01: We're still here.
12:55
SPEAKER_01: So um, but what you were talking about, because first let's mention that today is because uh again we're recording this on Monday the 29th, and it was uh was it 20 years ago that uh George Harrison passed?
13:09
SPEAKER_05: I think it it was it 2001 or 2002?
13:13
SPEAKER_01: 2001 yeah.
13:15
SPEAKER_05: It was yeah, it was so it was twenty years ago.
13:17
SPEAKER_01: Twenty years ago we lost the great uh George Harrison um of the Beatles, leaving only two Sir Paul and and Ringo.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: Um and you were talking Is he Sir Ringo yet?
13:29
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
13:31
SPEAKER_01: Because I I don't think he is.
13:34
unknown: Sir Ringo.
13:35
SPEAKER_01: I don't think if he is, nobody calls him that.
13:38
SPEAKER_05: Well the thing is is that oh well I'll get to it later, but it wouldn't be Sir Ringo, it would be Sir Richard Star.
13:46
SPEAKER_01: That's true.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: That's true, yeah.
13:48
SPEAKER_01: You know, it would yeah so um but what you were talking about.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: What what you were talking about was this new uh documentary uh from Peter Jackson, uh from the Lord of the Rings fame, and uh a bunch of other things uh as well.
14:05
SPEAKER_01: Fame director.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: Um the get back documentary from the Beatles, which was a documentation of the recording of their oh, he is Sir Ringo.
14:16
SPEAKER_05: He is he was he was knighted in 2018.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's good to know.
14:22
SPEAKER_01: But nobody calls him Sir Ringo, they just say Ringo.
14:25
SPEAKER_05: No, they call Sir Paul it's just they call him Sir Paul, you know, and everything like that, but it's it's just Ringo.
14:32
SPEAKER_05: Right, right, exactly.
14:34
SPEAKER_05: Hey, it's Ringo, you know, he could be like king of the universe, everybody be like, hey, it's Ringo.
14:38
SPEAKER_05: Right.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: So let's talk a little bit about this documentary, and and I know you you went into uh a little bit of detail on both part one and part two of the videos that uh you were doing.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: Did you watch the the is it how many parts is it?
14:52
SPEAKER_05: I have not there's three, and I haven't watched part three yet.
14:55
SPEAKER_05: I was saving that for I was gonna watch it yesterday, but then I got distracted by something else and it just didn't happen.
15:01
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
15:02
SPEAKER_05: Because it it's they're both they're long.
15:05
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
15:06
SPEAKER_05: Like the first one was like two and a half hours, the second one was three out, almost three hours, and the third one is like two and a half hours.
15:13
SPEAKER_05: So I mean they're long to watch.
15:15
SPEAKER_00: Right.
15:16
SPEAKER_05: It's like it's like watching a musical version of Lord of the Rings.
15:21
SPEAKER_05: Right.
15:21
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
15:22
SPEAKER_05: Except there's no there's no orcs or hobbits or anything, and I was just, well, Ringo's kind of short, so maybe he could be a hobbit.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Well, here's here's a question I had.
15:32
SPEAKER_01: Um so isn't there already a movie?
15:36
SPEAKER_01: Isn't let it be.
15:37
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there was a movie, but this is all there it was uh I don't remember what it was called, but they I don't know if it was ever released.
15:45
SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah, it was probably released, but this is all like stuff that yet, because in the beginning of each one, they like, you know, Peter Jackson was allowed access to there were 60 hours of footage and 150 songs, you know, in this, you know, Peter Jackson had access to all of it, and so he just but there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff that I don't think was in the actual the original movie.
16:09
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
16:10
SPEAKER_05: Um there the most disturbing was if they were just goofing off, they would let Yoko sing.
16:20
SPEAKER_05: Because Yoko is there all the time.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: Right.
16:27
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, I mean the the the the lore, the Beatles' lore is that she's the reason they broke up.
16:36
SPEAKER_01: Um I don't think she was the reason they broke up.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't think she is either, but that's the one everybody said, yeah.
16:43
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I know.
16:44
SPEAKER_05: But she didn't help the situation by being there all the freaking time.
16:47
SPEAKER_05: But she doesn't really talk, you know, you don't hear much from her throughout the whole the two parts that I've seen.
16:53
SPEAKER_05: You don't really hear much about her.
16:55
SPEAKER_05: But they do these weird jam sessions where they're just goofing off.
16:59
SPEAKER_05: And Yoko is just she has a she she takes like John's mic and she'll start just start screaming and you're like and like Paul will be playing drums and John will be on the organ or something, and Ringo's just gone.
17:13
SPEAKER_05: I don't know where he went, right?
17:15
SPEAKER_05: You know, but Paul's on the drums, John's doing and Yoko's just screaming, and they're just filming this, and you're just like, no, no.
17:25
SPEAKER_05: I would I would rather have really hot ice picks stuck in both ears while being dipped in a vat of acid than listen to this.
17:36
SPEAKER_05: You know what I'm saying?
17:37
SPEAKER_05: And she has sold records.
17:40
SPEAKER_05: I don't get it.
17:41
SPEAKER_05: Who buys those things?
17:43
SPEAKER_05: Those people need to be taken out in the middle of uh of like Main Street or the mall and just shot by beetle impersonators.
17:53
SPEAKER_05: Just, you know, I've just like this Ringo guy guy step his ringo just with like 245s, just either that or or at least their their brains donated to science that you know when they do finally pass.
18:05
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we gotta study this stuff because we gotta figure out what's wrong with these people that are buying Yoko owner records.
18:10
SPEAKER_05: I mean, there's something, there's something seriously wrong there.
18:13
SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's like alien DNA or I don't know.
18:16
SPEAKER_05: Aliens.
18:21
SPEAKER_05: But it was but what it was really cool to watch because when I was watching the first one, there is a huge soundstage.
18:31
SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's huge.
18:33
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
18:34
SPEAKER_05: And it's just them, they're just kind of sitting there and they're coming up with song ideas.
18:39
SPEAKER_05: I mean, you can tell John is in the midst of, like I said, he's in the midst of his heroin habit, right?
18:45
SPEAKER_05: He was really into heroin, yeah, and he's really into Yoko.
18:50
SPEAKER_05: She is there constantly.
18:51
SPEAKER_05: I mean, she is like right, he's sitting here, she is right there.
18:55
SPEAKER_05: Right.
18:56
SPEAKER_05: Constantly.
18:57
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
18:58
SPEAKER_05: You know he only has he he comes up with maybe one or two songs that he has been written.
19:06
SPEAKER_05: It's mostly Paul and George that are coming up with song ideas.
19:11
SPEAKER_05: But every time George comes up with a song idea, it looks like Paul is like shooting him down.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: Which I I bet you that happened all the time, though.
19:19
SPEAKER_05: Oh, I'm sure.
19:20
SPEAKER_05: I mean, it probably happened a lot.
19:22
SPEAKER_05: It happened so much that in the end, I don't want to give it away, but at the end of the first one, George quicks the band.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I heard that is done.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and actually, you know, I think the uh isn't there a let it be movie?
19:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, because I think this is where this footage came from.
19:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
19:38
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, in that movie, he he leaves.
19:40
SPEAKER_01: So I mean uh that that's a familiar you're not giving anything away, I don't think, but no, no, I think everybody knows that he quit the band.
19:47
SPEAKER_01: But you can probably see there's better footage as to why what led him to uh walk.
19:52
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, you can see it because there's like there's like this whole they're going through songs, and like Paul and uh Paul and John are like standing like they're like this close to each other, and they're just singing and bouncing off the i e ideas off each other, and George is just kind of sitting on his amp, just kind of watching them.
20:15
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
20:17
SPEAKER_05: I think he I think he brought out the idea for I mean, yeah, he played that for him, and old brown shoe.
20:26
SPEAKER_05: He you know, and then Paul just kind of like, yeah, yeah, yeah, but what about this?
20:30
SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
20:31
SPEAKER_05: It was kind of like it was kind of like that.
20:32
SPEAKER_05: He was just like, yeah, but what about this?
20:34
SPEAKER_05: Right.
20:34
SPEAKER_05: You know, and then Paul and and George, you know, he's a sweet guy.
20:38
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's not gonna but he just got sick of it.
20:41
SPEAKER_05: He was just so tough.
20:43
SPEAKER_01: Can't blame him.
20:44
SPEAKER_05: No, I can't blame him either, because he was just overpowered.
20:47
SPEAKER_05: Because and I think at the end of the first one, like Neil Aspinall and George Martin, and the a bunch of them are just sitting around.
20:55
SPEAKER_05: They're like and George Martin was like, Well, I I get it because it's always it's Lennon McCartney.
21:02
SPEAKER_05: Lennon McCartney, Lennon McCartney, always right, you know.
21:05
SPEAKER_05: So but I think after that they start, you know, including George more, and you can tell that he feels more included.
21:14
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, uh uh in the second part.
21:16
SPEAKER_05: You can tell because he's more he's more vocal, he's more active, they're doing his songs, you know, the ones he brings forward.
21:23
SPEAKER_05: So, you know, and then they bring Billy Preston in.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: Right.
21:27
SPEAKER_01: The fifth beetle, which is really yeah, the fifth beetle.
21:30
SPEAKER_05: And it's really cool because Billy Preston is a really cool guy.
21:34
SPEAKER_05: He's just slowly back, he's very happy, and he you can tell the atmosphere changes because they leave the big TV studio and they go into Apple Studios to do the actual recordings.
21:47
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
21:49
SPEAKER_05: And the creativity just goes they just start coming up with better ideas, you know.
21:54
SPEAKER_05: But you're gonna hear but you're gonna hear all the songs that were on the Let It Be album, you're gonna hear the songs.
22:00
SPEAKER_05: That came out on Abbey Road out of this session when they you know for the movie.
22:06
SPEAKER_05: And that there was like a ton of other songs that they just they would just it was really funny because they would just jam and come up with lyrics on the fly.
22:14
SPEAKER_05: And Mal Evans is just sitting there trying to write it up, which I thought was really cool.
22:19
SPEAKER_05: He's trying he's trying to write uh oh, what was that?
22:23
SPEAKER_05: When if you ever listen to the song Maxwell's Silver Hammer, yeah, and you hear the little hammer sound, yeah, that's Mal Evans.
22:30
SPEAKER_05: Oh he's doing that.
22:31
SPEAKER_05: He's they brought an anvil into the recording studio, and he's sitting there, he's got his little notebook where he's watching, where he's supposed to come in.
22:39
SPEAKER_05: He's like King King, and every time he does it, he looks up and he smiles.
22:44
SPEAKER_05: He's like, I'm part of this, King King, King Because he was just listening, he was you know, supposedly a really sweet guy too.
22:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
22:55
SPEAKER_05: So it's so but you you're just watching this and you're just like I said, they're long, but you're just so drawn into it because you're watching history being made right right before your eyes.
23:09
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
23:10
SPEAKER_05: And you're I mean, you're seeing stuff that wasn't in, you know, that you didn't get to see in the original Let It Be movie.
23:16
SPEAKER_05: But you're seeing a lot of background stuff.
23:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I saw that.
23:19
SPEAKER_05: And Ringo is so quiet through the whole thing.
23:22
SPEAKER_01: Really?
23:24
SPEAKER_05: He's just back there on his drums.
23:26
SPEAKER_05: Once in a while he'll talk.
23:27
SPEAKER_05: Did you know he can play piano?
23:30
SPEAKER_01: I did not.
23:32
SPEAKER_01: He can play piano, dude.
23:33
SPEAKER_01: Well, I mean, I would think that he I mean he's a Beatle.
23:36
SPEAKER_01: I would think that he's multi-talented.
23:38
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but I didn't I didn't realize he could actually play piano.
23:41
SPEAKER_05: He there's a there's a scene where Paul's like sitting at a piano just noodling, yeah, and Ringo gets on like you know on the higher end of the register, and he's playing along, and they're just playing this song, and I'm like, what the f what Ringo's playing the piano?
23:58
SPEAKER_05: It was crazy.
23:59
SPEAKER_01: It was really cool to watch, you know.
24:00
SPEAKER_01: So yeah.
24:01
SPEAKER_01: I did see a um uh I don't know if it was a trailer or just a clip, because you know, there's been a lot of promotion behind this uh documentary.
24:09
SPEAKER_01: And I did see the the actual, it seemed like it was the writing or the uh arranging of the song Two of Us.
24:18
SPEAKER_05: Um, there's a lot.
24:20
SPEAKER_05: You see that a lot.
24:22
SPEAKER_01: That's one of my favorite Beatles songs.
24:24
SPEAKER_05: Mine too, and I love I because it was when they first wrote it, it was a really fast number.
24:29
SPEAKER_05: It was like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
24:32
SPEAKER_05: Right da da da.
24:34
SPEAKER_05: And then, you know, but as it, you know, as they kept writing it and kept progressing, it's kept slowing down a little bit, got a little bit more bare bones.
24:42
SPEAKER_05: That's what I'm interested in.
24:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do.
24:44
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, you're gonna see a lot of that.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: And I and I I I again, once I get a chance to sit down and and watch all 800 hours of it, um that's what that's what I'm looking forward to, is is seeing how a song goes from from one extreme and to the to the to where it ended up uh uh to the version that you know, you know.
25:03
SPEAKER_01: So that's right.
25:04
SPEAKER_01: That's as a songwriter, that's that's exciting to me.
25:06
SPEAKER_01: So I can't I can't.
25:07
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna love from a songwriter perspective, you're gonna love it, man.
25:11
SPEAKER_05: Because it's just you you're just watching it happen.
25:13
SPEAKER_05: You're like, oh, oh, oh, oh, you know.
25:16
SPEAKER_01: That's awesome.
25:16
SPEAKER_05: It's really neat, man.

25:23
SPEAKER_05: Disney Plus, yeah.
25:24

25:25
SPEAKER_05: I'm sure they'll release it to DVD or yeah.
25:28
SPEAKER_05: Uh I don't Blu-ray.
25:30
SPEAKER_05: I don't think anybody does D V D anymore, but well yeah, it's it I'm sure they'll release it to D V D.
25:38
SPEAKER_05: Blu-ray at some point.
25:39
SPEAKER_01: At some point, yeah.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
25:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
25:41
SPEAKER_01: Um see let's see what else.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: So um yeah, again, it was uh 20 years ago that we lost uh he's Sir George, right?
25:50
SPEAKER_01: George Harrison?
25:52
SPEAKER_01: He was a knight as well.
25:55
SPEAKER_01: I assume so.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm I'm thinking that he was.
25:59
SPEAKER_05: I'm pretty sure he was.
26:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure he was too, yes.
26:02
SPEAKER_05: Um I think the only one that didn't get knighted was John because he passed away too early.
26:08
SPEAKER_05: Right.
26:08
SPEAKER_01: So yeah, exactly.
26:10
SPEAKER_05: Um but they're all they all got their MBEs anyway, they're members of the British Empire.
26:15
SPEAKER_05: Right.
26:15
SPEAKER_05: They got that a long time ago.
26:17
SPEAKER_05: So I mean they're technically they're not knights, but they were members of the British Empire, whatever that means.
26:23
SPEAKER_05: Right.
26:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
26:24
SPEAKER_05: I don't know if you can take over a small country or whatever.
26:29
SPEAKER_01: Very cool.
26:30
SPEAKER_01: Uh what else is going on?
26:31
SPEAKER_01: So we had uh I did see a uh an interview with uh this is just kind of an aside.
26:39
SPEAKER_01: Um CBS Um Sunday morning did an interview with Pat Benatar and Neil Geraldo.
26:48
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
26:48
SPEAKER_01: Um and because they got a they've got a musical, a Broadway musical coming call called Invincible, which is basically the story of these two.
26:56
SPEAKER_01: It's a really cool uh interview uh that they did, and it's about eight minutes long.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: You should try and find it on YouTube if you want to, but um the reporter was unaware that she is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, um, and was kind of taken back, actually.
27:15
SPEAKER_01: And she had some really cool things to say, because you know how we feel about the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
27:20
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of a it's kind of a joke.
27:22
SPEAKER_01: But she had a really cool um Yeah, exactly.
27:25
SPEAKER_01: Really cool response when he asked, you know, does it bother her?
27:28
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, no, it doesn't.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: It it it doesn't um she it doesn't represent or uh di diminish uh the work that they've made, the work that they've done and and the music that they've made.
27:40
SPEAKER_01: Um it sure it would be nice.
27:42
SPEAKER_01: Winning awards are great.
27:44
SPEAKER_01: Sure it would be nice for our kids and you know, for our grandkids, you know, to to have that as something to to talk about, but she's she doesn't really care.
27:53
SPEAKER_01: And I guarantee you she will go in next year.
27:57
SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
27:58
SPEAKER_05: I just I just want her to get in before she dies.
28:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, well, I don't want it to be an apostamous thing.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: Right.
28:04
SPEAKER_01: Uh and and the f the we I I did the math the other day.
28:08
SPEAKER_01: She has been eligible for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for about seventeen years.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: Seventeen or eighteen years.
28:17
SPEAKER_01: And the trailblazer that she is, you know, for women in rock and roll, she's and she's still not in.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: It's a crime.
28:26
SPEAKER_01: It's a crime.
28:26
SPEAKER_05: Is Joan Jen in?
28:28
SPEAKER_01: Uh I don't know.
28:34
SPEAKER_01: You're gonna look that up now, aren't you?
28:36
SPEAKER_01: I am, uh I almost think she is.
28:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I I almost think because she m she must be in as part of the runaways.
28:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming that the runaways are in.
28:48
SPEAKER_01: Because they were also trailblazers.
28:50
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, she went in well, she went in as a as Joe as the black arts.
28:55
SPEAKER_05: Oh, she did?
28:56
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Joan Jet and the Black Arts in the Hall of Fame 2015.
29:00
SPEAKER_01: Okay, so not to take anything away from Joan Jett and the Black Arts, all right.
29:05
SPEAKER_01: They had they had some uh some success.
29:09
SPEAKER_01: One big song, obviously, which was a cover of the arrows uh I love rock and roll.
29:15
SPEAKER_01: You know, bad reputation, uh, do you want to uh touch, um a couple other big songs for for Joan Jett, but compare that to Pat Benatar.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: Now Oh, is there really no comparison?
29:28
SPEAKER_01: There's no comparison.
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Pat Benatar should have been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 17 years ago, as far as I'm concerned.
29:34
SPEAKER_05: But oh, her first year of eligibility, she should have been like absolutely no.
29:39
SPEAKER_05: She's like the Tom Brady of friggin' rock and roll, man.
29:42
SPEAKER_05: She should have been, you know, as soon as she was eligible, she should have been in.
29:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I agree.
29:46
SPEAKER_01: I agree.
29:47
SPEAKER_01: And but the the interview on CBS Um Sunday morning was really cool because it it it it uh there was a lot of um they made a lot of the the partnership between her and and Spider, uh her husband, um, and because he wrote a lot of the songs, actually most of the songs he wrote them.
30:05
SPEAKER_01: And and so um there the whole musical, the Broadway musical that they've put together is is about that, about them working together.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: They've been married forty years, you know, and I know, right?
30:18
SPEAKER_01: Which is unheard of in rock and roll.
30:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:21
SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
30:21
SPEAKER_05: I was just gonna say that, man.
30:23
SPEAKER_01: That's like what yeah, yeah, exactly.
30:26
SPEAKER_01: So you know it was meant to be.
30:28
SPEAKER_01: So I just thought that was I just thought that was kind of cool uh seeing that over the weekend and thought um we could talk about that.
30:35
SPEAKER_01: Um so let's uh let's do the well, I was thinking about the Comic Crossing song of the day too.
30:42
SPEAKER_01: Um do you have any that you uh because I picked out a couple and I don't know how you feel about them.
30:49
SPEAKER_05: I I I honestly forgot all about it because I was so excited just to do the podcast and see you.
30:56
SPEAKER_05: Right.
30:56
SPEAKER_05: So I told him I didn't even think about it.
30:58
SPEAKER_05: I was like, I get to see B!
31:00
SPEAKER_01: Alright, man, this is awesome! Yeah.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: Uh and we'll do it do it uh even even better next week, hopefully, um in person.
31:09
SPEAKER_01: Uh but I did pick a couple, um and let's see, one of them is technically on one of our demo albums.
31:18
SPEAKER_01: The other one is a version of a song that is on one of our demo albums.
31:25
SPEAKER_01: Um I don't like one of them as much as I like the other.
31:30
SPEAKER_05: Um let's do the one that you do like.
31:35
SPEAKER_01: Well oh well, that one's just me.
31:38
SPEAKER_01: See, that's the th Okay.
31:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, here's the thing.
31:41
SPEAKER_01: You're back, baby.
31:42
SPEAKER_01: Let's this is all about you.
31:45
SPEAKER_05: Um so I had and I mean that sincerely.
31:50
SPEAKER_05: This is you know being sarcastic about that.
31:55
SPEAKER_01: So then what then what we'll do, if we're gonna pick if we're gonna pick the one that I like the out of the two, then then we're gonna go with one called uh When It Comes Down.
32:04
SPEAKER_05: So yeah, okay.
32:06
SPEAKER_01: So so it's a piano song.
32:07
SPEAKER_01: I like that song.
32:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I do we I did a version of it on on one of our um demo albums, and I wanna think I can't think of the demo album that it was.
32:17
SPEAKER_01: Hold on a second.
32:18
SPEAKER_01: It was the one that didn't have a lot of like my favorite recordings on it.
32:23
SPEAKER_01: Uh and that would have been uh that would have been Living in the Dark.
32:31
SPEAKER_05: Oh, right, yeah.
32:32
SPEAKER_01: Um but I did a version of it on a solo demo album.
32:41
SPEAKER_01: Solo demo.
32:42
SPEAKER_01: A solo demo album, but you know, um Songs from the Lost and Found, which was a bunch of demos that I just put together that weren't Comic Crossing songs.
32:52
SPEAKER_01: Uh they were my songs, but um this was one of them.
32:56
SPEAKER_01: And this so this is just to get into this song, um, this is one of my wife's favorite songs, and ironically, it's a song about um if I had ever cheated on my wife.
33:10
SPEAKER_01: This was this was like a um I can't imagine ever doing that, but I tried to imagine doing that and putting myself in in that position so that I could write lyrics from that point of view.
33:29
SPEAKER_01: It's it wasn't it like an exercise.
33:32
SPEAKER_01: And um so it was pretty raw, and to this day I think it's one of my my wife's favorite songs.
33:42
SPEAKER_01: So uh we'll just try and play that.
33:57
SPEAKER_02: There was a rush I felt.
34:00
SPEAKER_02: I was standing there with nothing left to say.
34:05
SPEAKER_02: I confess my sins, got it off my chest, and now it's time to change.
34:13
SPEAKER_02: Always look to you to be the sensible one and laugh it off like a big mistake.
34:20
SPEAKER_02: Yes, a bad reaction speaks louder than words.
34:24
SPEAKER_02: I never thought you'd walk away.
34:28
SPEAKER_02: When it comes down, it comes down like the rain to wash away everything in all the plans we make, it's gonna break down if not it won't be the same as part of me shape.
35:02
SPEAKER_02: There's nothing that I wouldn't do to try to make the pain just disappear.
35:09
SPEAKER_02: If I could take it back, I would sacrifice everything to hold me.
35:18
SPEAKER_02: Oh, but baby, I can apologize for letting it all lie.
35:25
SPEAKER_02: I just wish my words didn't make you leave with me.
35:33
SPEAKER_02: You left me nowhere to go from there.
35:37
SPEAKER_02: I was lost like a little child.
35:40
SPEAKER_02: If I said I made it up, would you come back?
35:44
SPEAKER_02: Maybe just for a little while.
35:48
SPEAKER_02: When it comes down, it comes down like a rain.
36:00
SPEAKER_02: And all the plans we make, it's gonna break down.
36:06
SPEAKER_02: If not, it won't be the same.
36:18
SPEAKER_02: Shame on the love that I spread so thin, shame on the pain that I held within, shame on the man that's not me.
36:31
SPEAKER_02: Shame on me.
36:59
SPEAKER_02: I can promise you now make a solemn vow, but I already hear that voice.
37:14
SPEAKER_02: It comes down like the rays to wash away everything we get all the plans we make.
37:24
SPEAKER_02: It's gonna break down.
37:32
SPEAKER_01: It will always be there will always be a part of me that's knee deep in shame.
38:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, kind of sums up the whole song right there.
38:15
SPEAKER_05: Not what I thought you were gonna say.
38:18
SPEAKER_01: What did you think I was gonna say?
38:21
SPEAKER_01: Knee deep and beep Yeah, right.
38:25
SPEAKER_01: Um So that's uh that's a song called When It Comes Down, and um uh not an autobiographical story, but meant to meant to be um meant to be that way, uh, or at least perceived that way.
38:40
SPEAKER_05: So um Oh a little aside here, I was watching uh I don't know, it was uh it was a thing on the Basilica Axe murderers back in the and you remember our song Josiah's Tale?
38:55
SPEAKER_03: Yes.
38:56
SPEAKER_05: There's a guy named Josiah involved in that whole thing.
39:00
SPEAKER_05: I'm like, as soon as they said his name, I went, Oh I mean, he did he didn't do the murders or anything, but just as soon as they said Josiah, I went, it's the stock.
39:14
SPEAKER_01: For those of you that have uh don't know what we're talking about, we have a murder ballad that we wrote a long time ago called Josiah's Tale.
39:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
