- 6:33SPEAKER_04: And I told you last week he was just beside himself.
- 6:36SPEAKER_02: So it didn't look like he was gonna win.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: Nope.
- 6:38SPEAKER_02: You know, through the first and then the second half, and I'm like, what in the world is happening right now?
- 6:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:45SPEAKER_04: So I'm I'm texting him right now.

- 6:50SPEAKER_04: Um Yeah, he and and he so I tell and I'll tell I'll tell you this before he comes down.
- 7:00SPEAKER_04: So I I texted my son, my son Jude, who usually wins, and I said, you know, Eli's never gonna shut up about this, right?
- 7:07SPEAKER_04: He says, Yeah, I know.
- 7:08SPEAKER_04: He says, It's okay though.
- 7:10SPEAKER_04: He says, I figured uh a comeback looks better than four in a row.
- 7:17SPEAKER_04: Oh right, that's uh that's pretty deep.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's pretty deep.
- 7:22SPEAKER_04: So he's he's he's planning next season to retake the crown.
- 7:26SPEAKER_02: To dominate, right?

- 7:48SPEAKER_12: We're letting you win.
- 7:50SPEAKER_01: We did not let you win.
- 7:56SPEAKER_04: Okay, so we have to make a presentation.
- 8:00SPEAKER_04: So this trophy, for one reason or another, has been here at the house.
- 8:06SPEAKER_04: Um I think since it was well, who did anybody else have this trophy ever?
- 8:11SPEAKER_02: Well, you and basically Jude.
- 8:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right?
- 8:14SPEAKER_04: I mean, because I won the first couple seasons.
- 8:17SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:17SPEAKER_04: Uh I don't think Bob's ever won.
- 8:20SPEAKER_04: Well, if the if anyone else has won, I kept the trophy.
- 8:24SPEAKER_04: I never gave the trophy.
- 8:26SPEAKER_02: You never you never fulfilled your duty to see.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: But then again, I think Josh has the last place trophy and he's never likished it to anyone else.
- 8:34SPEAKER_04: So uh this trophy is the BMO Excellence Award for Excellence in our NFL Fantasy League.
- 8:41SPEAKER_04: Um and so I've I won the first, I don't know, one or two seasons.
- 8:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:47SPEAKER_04: And then um I think uh I I think Jude's won ever since he's been in the league.
- 8:52SPEAKER_04: Right, I think you're right.
- 8:53SPEAKER_04: So it has it has stayed here.
- 8:56SPEAKER_04: Um oh it's there's a crack in it.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: Oh look at that.
- 9:00SPEAKER_02: But you do.
- 9:01SPEAKER_02: Oh no.
- 9:02SPEAKER_02: Why are you breaking our trophy?
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: We have to glue that or something.
- 9:05SPEAKER_04: Um I'm hesitant to give it to you because I know it probably will break even more in your in your in your room.
- 9:12SPEAKER_02: Now he'll just fix it.
- 9:13SPEAKER_04: Um make it better.
- 9:15SPEAKER_04: So so Eli won the NFL Fantasy League this year, and so I'm pres I present to you the BMO Excellence Award for Excellence.

- 14:25SPEAKER_02: There are there are a lot out there, but we, you know.
- 14:27SPEAKER_02: None come to those are the only ones that come to mind right now.
- 14:30SPEAKER_02: Because like we said, we didn't research this or anything like that.
- 14:33SPEAKER_02: We're just going to do that.
- 14:34SPEAKER_04: Which is a shame that we don't think of, you know, women rockers very very much.
- 14:40SPEAKER_04: Or women at least.
- 14:44SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 14:45SPEAKER_04: What other female bands are out there?

- 15:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:10SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know.
- 15:11SPEAKER_04: I would I don't know that I would consider them like the greatest drummers or anything like that.
- 15:15SPEAKER_02: I would I mean they were they were high profile drummers because the band was high profile.
- 15:19SPEAKER_04: And really, really good.
- 15:20SPEAKER_02: But though unfortunately with those bands, I mean there was always somebody there was a front person out front.
- 15:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 15:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:26SPEAKER_02: Like with the bang with the bangles, it was definitely Susanna Hoffs.
- 15:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:30SPEAKER_02: And then like with uh the go-go's, it was you know President of Carlisle.
- 15:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you know.
- 15:34SPEAKER_04: And they don't get drummers in general don't get as much recognition.
- 15:40SPEAKER_04: No.
- 15:40SPEAKER_04: Whether even whether they're female or or male.
- 15:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 15:43SPEAKER_04: Um but there are drummers that there are male drummers that stand out because they um well I mean, Neil Peart, uh J uh John Bonham, Ringo.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: These Ringo, these are these are big personalities, and these are people that changed drumming or or made made like an impact on drumming.
- 16:08SPEAKER_04: I am trying to think of a female who has done that.
- 16:13SPEAKER_02: And I can't besides Chile or I think I think I mean there probably are of course there are, but I can't think of we haven't researched this.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 16:24SPEAKER_02: We're just going off the tops of our heads and you know, if we put some you know actual thought and research into it, we we sure we I mean we could go back and find somebody, I'm sure, but no nobody's coming to you know to my head at the moment.
- 16:39SPEAKER_04: Let me uh just just for giggles, um, I want to see what happens if I um Google that.
- 16:47SPEAKER_04: Uh and maybe some names come up that we're gonna be like, oh, I never even thought of I never even thought of her.

- 30:00SPEAKER_02: Oh, Joe Janet.
- 30:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:02SPEAKER_02: Um two more spots to go.
- 30:11SPEAKER_04: Oh well Susan Tadeski is an amazing vocalist as well.
- 30:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but she's she's more blues.
- 30:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's bluesy, yeah.
- 30:17SPEAKER_02: That's why I did like Bonnie Ray or stuff like that.
- 30:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 30:21SPEAKER_02: Um just straight rocking, um.
- 30:27SPEAKER_02: It's a good question, man.
- 30:28SPEAKER_02: I don't know who it I don't know.
- 30:30SPEAKER_02: I don't know who I put.
- 30:32SPEAKER_02: Or uh but those three definitely are my top that's my top three anyway, right there.
- 30:38SPEAKER_04: Uh I would go um Pat Benatar.
- 30:41SPEAKER_04: Ann Wilson.
- 30:44SPEAKER_04: Um I want to put Lizzie Hale in there, uh, but I'm not sure.
- 30:49SPEAKER_04: Uh I would I want to put um Amy Lee in there.
- 30:53SPEAKER_04: Because that that voice that's you know from Evanescence was his amazing.
- 30:58SPEAKER_04: Awesome.
- 30:58SPEAKER_04: Um you know, I think I am gonna put Hay um uh Lizzie Hell.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Lizzie Ann.
- 31:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:08SPEAKER_04: Uh from Hailstorm.
- 31:10SPEAKER_04: And yeah, I I I don't know.
- 31:14SPEAKER_04: You know who I want to put in there?
- 31:16SPEAKER_04: Uh but no, she's not rock.
- 31:17SPEAKER_04: Never mind.
- 31:18SPEAKER_04: I was gonna say Britney Howard from the Alabama Shakespeare.
- 31:20SPEAKER_04: Have you ever heard her?
- 31:21SPEAKER_04: No.
- 31:22SPEAKER_04: Um that's more soul and and blues really than than rock, but she's pretty amazing.
- 31:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:29SPEAKER_02: I mean, we would have a totally different list if it was like all-time female vocalist, you know, no matter genre.
- 31:35SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:35SPEAKER_04: You know, we would, you know.
- 31:37SPEAKER_04: I think I might put Stevie Nicks in there, only because of the uniqueness of her voice.
- 31:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she definitely know it's Stevie Nix.
- 31:47SPEAKER_04: There was nobody else that sounded like Stevie Nicks.
- 31:49SPEAKER_02: Still isn't.
- 31:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, still isn't.
- 31:50SPEAKER_04: So yeah, I think yeah, I think Pat Badatar, Ann Wilson, um uh Amy Lee, Lizzie Hale, Stevie Nix.
- 31:59SPEAKER_04: I think that's my that's probably my top five.
- 32:00SPEAKER_04: And we're probably missing some.
- 32:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah, this is just rock and roll.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: This is just rock and roll.
- 32:05SPEAKER_04: Um, because I know that we're probably missing a ton of people.
- 32:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, again, this is cold, so yeah.
- 32:12SPEAKER_04: So Bobby Blanchard, bouncing Bob, thank you for that suggestion.
- 32:15SPEAKER_04: Uh I like that actually.
- 32:17SPEAKER_04: That was good, yeah.

- 32:57SPEAKER_04: Let me check my watch.
- 33:01SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 33:01SPEAKER_04: Yes, all right.
- 33:03SPEAKER_04: Uh so I believe we did You can fly.
- 33:08SPEAKER_04: We did Can You Touch the Sky?
- 33:10SPEAKER_04: I almost feel like we did a version of this live.
- 33:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we did.
- 33:13SPEAKER_02: Uh because I don't think we did the whole song because I don't think we could remember the whole song.
- 33:17SPEAKER_04: Because did I not find the lyric sheet?
- 33:19SPEAKER_04: No, maybe.
- 33:20SPEAKER_04: I don't remember.
- 33:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, maybe you're right.
- 33:22SPEAKER_04: Maybe we're just messing around.
- 33:23SPEAKER_04: But we wrote a song uh uh that was well it's called NGS.
- 33:31SPEAKER_04: Um and it's basically about being put in the friend zone.
- 33:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:36SPEAKER_04: Nice guy syndrome.
- 33:37SPEAKER_02: It was it was the friend zone before there was a friend zone.
- 33:39SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 33:39SPEAKER_04: So it was called Nice Guy Syndrome NGS.
- 33:44SPEAKER_04: And once again recorded on our four track, but we had uh let's see, I'm not sure who was all in on the recording.
- 33:51SPEAKER_04: I think Nate was there.
- 33:52SPEAKER_02: Well, the three of us, you, me, and Nate.
- 33:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 33:54SPEAKER_02: I think that might have been it.
- 33:55SPEAKER_02: Was that it?
- 33:56SPEAKER_04: I think so.
- 33:56SPEAKER_04: Uh and we were just this is just a goofy, goofy song.
- 34:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 34:00SPEAKER_04: Um Tongue in cheek.
- 34:03SPEAKER_04: Tongue in cheek.
- 34:04SPEAKER_04: And uh once again poorly recorded because we didn't know what we were doing, but that's okay.
- 34:08SPEAKER_04: Still don't.
- 34:09SPEAKER_04: Uh still don't.
- 34:11SPEAKER_04: So I I think it kind of speaks for itself.
- 34:15unknown: Yeah.
- 34:15SPEAKER_04: So I think we just play it and then uh we could talk about it after.
- 34:19SPEAKER_04: So this is the Comic Crossing song of the week.
- 34:22SPEAKER_04: It is NGS Nice Guy Syndrome.
- 34:29SPEAKER_02: Is that what it looks like?
- 35:41SPEAKER_09: You got a nice sky.
- 35:54SPEAKER_09: I can't help it.
- 35:56SPEAKER_09: It's much more.
- 35:59SPEAKER_09: I can't help it.
- 36:01SPEAKER_09: I can't think of anything.
- 36:04SPEAKER_09: I wish I had a time, every time.
- 36:47SPEAKER_09: I got it.
- 36:54SPEAKER_09: You got it, guys.
- 37:04SPEAKER_07: This is fun.
- 37:06SPEAKER_11: Any boys?
- 37:07SPEAKER_11: Uh-huh.
- 37:08SPEAKER_04: Actually this will be recorded over because I'll put the guitar still here.
- 37:14SPEAKER_11: So then why are we bothering?
- 37:16SPEAKER_11: Any day?
- 38:03SPEAKER_04: You've got nice guys.
- 38:06SPEAKER_04: Okay, so I would like to point out the Yeah, parts were done like that on purpose.
- 38:13SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:14SPEAKER_02: Don't take anything in the song as serious because we were really just goofing off when we just wanted to record it just for the sake of recording it.
- 38:23SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 38:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 38:25SPEAKER_04: No.
- 38:26SPEAKER_04: No.
- 38:28SPEAKER_04: It was uh it was a lot of fun too.
- 38:30SPEAKER_04: And we have to, it's like we write all these, you know, philosophical or romantic songs, or we were, you know, every once in a while you gotta throw in one in there that is just our our personalities.
- 38:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 38:43SPEAKER_04: You know, which is just not to be taken seriously.
- 38:46SPEAKER_04: Never taken seriously.
- 38:47SPEAKER_04: So, and that's one of them.
- 38:49SPEAKER_04: Um, I mean, geez, we got let's see, we have Don't Shake My Hand, we have The Bachelor's Anthem, we have NGS.
- 38:55SPEAKER_04: There was a Jedi Jewelers Jedi Jewelers, which I have to find because I know I have it.
- 38:59SPEAKER_04: I actually have the writing session on it.
- 39:01SPEAKER_02: Well, there's a there's a recording of it somewhere.
- 39:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but it's the writing session.
- 39:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because when we were writing it, we said, well, we need to record this.
- 39:08SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 39:08SPEAKER_04: So we sat down and just recorded it onto a cassette.
- 39:12SPEAKER_04: So and that's why the sound is so uh poor because that was I found it on a an old cassette, and and the tape in a cassette does not hold its, you know, yeah, very for very long.
- 39:25SPEAKER_04: So anyway, that is NGS, nice guy syndrome common crossing song of the week.
- 39:33SPEAKER_03: Fantastic.
- 39:34SPEAKER_04: We are gonna climb the wall of tunes in just a second.

- 51:12SPEAKER_08: She had a dream, boy was good on So she just had a dream with much desire.
- 51:24SPEAKER_08: Yeah, uh when she got too close to her expectations!
- 51:37SPEAKER_04: Okay, so you know that song.
- 51:38SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 51:39SPEAKER_04: And there was there were two more singles, I think, from this album, and I'll just play a piece of of them because I want to play one or one or two of the of the album cuts because, or at least a piece of the album cuts, because um this was another single.
- 52:07SPEAKER_04: But think about the time that this came out.
- 52:10SPEAKER_04: This was 1987.
- 52:16SPEAKER_04: And was there anybody else putting a fiddle on pop radio?
- 52:21SPEAKER_04: No.
- 52:22SPEAKER_04: Um or an accordion, you know?
- 52:25SPEAKER_04: He was pretty much it.
- 52:26SPEAKER_04: Scream it out to and he and he made it work.
- 52:29SPEAKER_02: Well, he made he made Americana cool.
- 52:32SPEAKER_04: And that's that's a good good way to put it because he was Americana before we had Americana.
- 52:36SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 52:37SPEAKER_04: Um so that was check it out, and then I don't know if you remember this one.
- 52:41SPEAKER_04: I don't though I don't know that this was as big a hit because I think it came later.
- 52:47SPEAKER_04: Um it's not even coming up in the list here.
- 52:54SPEAKER_04: But here it is.
- 53:04SPEAKER_04: Vaguely.
- 53:06SPEAKER_04: It's called Rudy Toot Toot.
- 53:10SPEAKER_02: I know I I remember hearing the song, but I don't I guess I don't uh I don't recall.
- 53:17SPEAKER_02: Um sorry, stand it here, I don't recall.
- 53:48SPEAKER_04: So anyway, that was the that was the last actually I don't know what order they came out, but that was one of the singles from this album.
- 53:55SPEAKER_04: Again, the album is the Lonesome Jubilee, the follow-up to his Scarecrow album.
- 53:59SPEAKER_04: But there are songs on here that hit me pretty hard.
- 54:03SPEAKER_04: Uh and I'll and you'll Did you call a cop?
- 54:08SPEAKER_04: Uh you'll see, you'll you'll you'll understand why I think he just wrote about real people.
- 54:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think that was his I mean that's I think that's why people when you know when they're talking about rockers and things like this, he's kinda pushed to the side.
- 54:28SPEAKER_02: He is.
- 54:29SPEAKER_02: I mean he's not because he's not flashy.
- 54:31SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 54:32SPEAKER_02: He's not he's just he's he's solid and he talks about real things.
- 54:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 54:37SPEAKER_04: And I mean he's one he was one of the the creators of Farmade.
- 54:41SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 54:41SPEAKER_04: You know, with Neil Young and uh Willie Nelson.
- 54:45SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 54:45SPEAKER_04: Um and still to this day I think carries on that.
- 54:48SPEAKER_04: And he's uh he's a painter as well.
- 54:49SPEAKER_04: He's an artist.
- 54:50SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 54:51SPEAKER_02: Um and I guess he's he's he's kind of an intense guy.
- 54:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he is intense.
- 54:55SPEAKER_04: You know, just very like you know, oh you know, kind of one of those kind of guys.
- 55:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:00SPEAKER_02: Sammy Hagar Because Kenny Arnoff uh, you know, was his drummer and he he talks about, you know, you know, touring with and he was just very sometimes he was very cool, and sometimes he was just uh he was just insane.
- 55:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 55:13SPEAKER_04: You know, he was just so rigid and then you know Sammy Hagar has a TV show or had a TV show, I don't know if it's still going on, uh on Access TV, the channel Access TV, uh called Rock and Roll Road Trip, where he would where he would go around everywhere and and and talk to famous people and and uh check in with them and and jam with them and and things like that.
- 55:32SPEAKER_04: And he he did uh uh an episode with John Mellencamp.
- 55:35SPEAKER_04: Uh who incidentally m one of the clues was he started with one name.
- 55:39SPEAKER_04: So he was Johnny Cougar or John John Cougar.
- 55:42SPEAKER_04: And then when uh Scarecrow came out, right?
- 55:45SPEAKER_04: He was John Cougar Mellencamp.
- 55:49SPEAKER_04: John Mellencamp, right.
- 55:51SPEAKER_04: Um so uh and and Sammy interviewed him and he doesn't it's like he doesn't give a crap about any you know what you think of him.
- 56:00SPEAKER_02: No, he doesn't.
- 56:01SPEAKER_02: That's why that's what I'm saying.
- 56:02SPEAKER_02: That's why he's I think that's why he's I uh he's kind of pushed to the side and left out of the conversation because he he just doesn't care.
- 56:09SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 56:09SPEAKER_02: You know, he's just gonna make what he's gonna make the kind of music he wants to do.
- 56:12SPEAKER_02: He's a true artist.
- 56:13SPEAKER_02: I mean I would.
- 56:14SPEAKER_04: So this one here, I just uh I I wish I could say what it is about this song that gets me.
- 56:21SPEAKER_04: Um but there's a couple songs like this on the album.
- 56:28SPEAKER_04: I'm not exactly sure why why it jumped to the middle of the song.
- 56:32SPEAKER_04: This is called Empty Hands.
- 56:38SPEAKER_08: Shadows of the host, you know, it's a good idea.
- 58:20SPEAKER_04: Too many people with nothing planned.
- 58:22SPEAKER_04: There's too many people with empty hands.
- 58:27SPEAKER_04: Too many.
- 58:28SPEAKER_04: Too many people that are hungry.
- 58:32SPEAKER_04: And I mean, even some of the songs that were like song titles.
- 58:40SPEAKER_10: Uh what did I do with the CD?
- 58:43SPEAKER_06: Oh, get it.
- 58:45SPEAKER_04: Some of the song titles.
- 58:47SPEAKER_04: Hard times for an honest man.
- 58:51SPEAKER_04: Um oh here's another one.
- 58:53SPEAKER_04: I don't want to go too deep into this, although I already have.
- 58:57SPEAKER_04: Um We the People.
- 58:59SPEAKER_04: We Are the People.
- 59:00SPEAKER_04: Have you ever heard that song?
- 59:02SPEAKER_02: Probably, I don't know, I don't remember it.
- 59:04SPEAKER_04: We are the People.
- 59:05SPEAKER_04: That's another one that um that hit me pretty uh pretty hard.
- 59:18SPEAKER_04: But you're right, he was Americana before Americana was a thing.
- 59:22SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_02: Well, he's socially conscious without being um pretentious about it.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_02: Right.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_04: And it's effective.
- 1:00:20SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_04: Um so I I'll stop there because um this is uh I think a highly underrated album.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_04: Um Lonesome James.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_02: Uh he had I mean he I mean he had his pop phase like Jack and Diane and you know, yeah, and he didn't go away.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_04: I mean No, he's still around.
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_04: He had in the nineties, he had uh like um there was uh I can't remember the um Key West Intermezzo uh where he had a bunch of songs where that had like drum machines and stuff like that.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_04: But it was it was experimenting and it was him being an artist and uh it was still great.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_04: There was it was great songwriters.
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like his voice.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_02: Uh that's what I really think about.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_04: See, I I wasn't crazy about, even though it was very popular, but you know, his John Cougar phase where Hurt So Good Sood and things like that.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_04: I wasn't crazy about that uh phase.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_04: But when he got a little older and went into this, Lonesome Jubilee and um just writing well, obviously Scarecrow, but Lonesome Jubilee um and whatever was after this, um uh I can't even remember his discography, but it just seemed more mature.
- 1:01:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah and uh really, really good.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_02: Nice, very solid.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_04: I am a fan uh of John Mellencamp for sure.
- 1:01:39SPEAKER_04: So there you go.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_04: That's the album of the week from the uh Wall of Tunes, John Cougar Mellencamp at the time.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_02: Or John Cougar or John Mellencamp, whatever you want to call it.
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_02: Just don't call him late for dinner.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_04: Yeah, right.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_04: This album, if you're looking for it, is under John Cougar Mellencamp, and it is the Lonesome Jubilee from 1987.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_04: Uh good, good stuff.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_04: There we go.
- 1:02:01SPEAKER_04: Gr season five, episode nine, is in the book.
- 1:02:06SPEAKER_02: It is.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_02: Oh, I just saw this thing on uh came up.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_02: Uh they they finally released how Betty White died.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_02: Oh stroke.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_04: She had a stroke.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_04: Interesting.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_02: Uh says according to the uh death certificate, she had a stroke six days before she passed.
- 1:02:23SPEAKER_04: Oh wow.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_04: Six days, huh?
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:02:27SPEAKER_02: So there's that.
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_04: And, you know, her last word, because they reported that.

- 1:02:38SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, I was gonna say he passed a long time ago.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so she's obviously finally with her.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_04: Let's talk about that for a second.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_04: I know we're uh running a little long, but so we lost Betty White, uh, which we actually featured a little bit of her on the podcast last week.
