- 1:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah and I was I was listening to it, I was like, man, but you know what was really funny?
- 1:57SPEAKER_05: It was that the dude that's singing is playing a is playing a friggin' um oh a Gretch.
- 2:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:04SPEAKER_05: And he's playing like George Harrison.

- 2:08SPEAKER_05: Like really up high on his chest?
- 2:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:12SPEAKER_05: That's what he was doing.
- 2:13SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 2:13SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and it didn't look like he was making any chords.
- 2:16SPEAKER_05: He didn't even have a pick, he was just using his fingers like this.
- 2:19SPEAKER_09: I want to say, Oh, is that him right there?
- 2:21SPEAKER_09: I think it's I think that is.
- 2:22SPEAKER_05: No, it wasn't live.
- 2:23SPEAKER_05: It was uh it was like a video video.
- 2:25SPEAKER_09: Uh maybe this one?
- 2:28SPEAKER_04: Excuse me.
- 2:30SPEAKER_09: But I was just looking at the picture of him playing live, and he does play his guitar up really high.
- 2:34SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, I was just saying.
- 2:35SPEAKER_05: What's this?
- 2:36SPEAKER_05: Why why are there No, this is like from a TV show.

- 2:48SPEAKER_05: But he why are there giraffes here?
- 2:51SPEAKER_09: What is this video?
- 2:53SPEAKER_09: It's the it's the art from the 80s.
- 2:56SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 2:56SPEAKER_09: Here comes like a freaking eagle.
- 2:58SPEAKER_09: Hold on a second.
- 2:59SPEAKER_09: Let me see if there's uh maybe this.
- 3:01SPEAKER_09: Uh you said it wasn't live though.
- 3:04SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was on the TV show.
- 3:05SPEAKER_05: No, no, no.
- 3:06SPEAKER_05: This that was too it was very it was very 78-ish, 80-ish TV show.
- 3:11SPEAKER_09: Is this uh live at Montreux 1986?
- 3:14SPEAKER_04: I don't know, I can't tell.
- 3:15SPEAKER_09: Well, you again it's live though.
- 3:22SPEAKER_09: Nope, that's not it.
- 3:24SPEAKER_09: I wonder if it's this one because uh let me let me click on this one because this is 84.
- 3:34SPEAKER_05: He's playing that that's exactly how he's playing on this on this video I saw.
- 3:38SPEAKER_05: But this looks this is 84?
- 3:40SPEAKER_05: 84.
- 3:41SPEAKER_05: This looks way this is way better quality than the one I was watching today.
- 3:48SPEAKER_09: You know, I do like I do like the no doubt version, but I I I don't know.
- 3:52SPEAKER_09: I like this I like this guy.
- 3:53SPEAKER_05: I like this version.
- 3:55SPEAKER_05: And I like the no doubt version.
- 3:56SPEAKER_05: I don't know if I like one better than the other.
- 3:59SPEAKER_09: True.
- 4:00SPEAKER_05: You know, yeah.
- 4:01SPEAKER_05: I mean, it's one of those ones where you can't decide which one you like better.
- 4:05SPEAKER_09: No doubt's cover was I think minus a couple of m modern things.
- 4:13SPEAKER_09: Pretty loyal to the original.
- 4:15SPEAKER_05: It's pretty close to the original.
- 4:17SPEAKER_05: This is of course more 80-ish, because it's you know, it is the 80s.
- 4:22SPEAKER_09: I wonder what they're doing now.
- 4:23SPEAKER_09: Talk talk.
- 4:24SPEAKER_05: I have no idea.
- 4:25SPEAKER_05: I wonder if they're still around.
- 4:26SPEAKER_09: Let's see.
- 4:27SPEAKER_09: If it's if you go to their Wikipedia, usually it'll say whether they're active or not.
- 4:35SPEAKER_09: And um Tok Talk is that says they were an English band.
- 4:43SPEAKER_05: That's not a good story.
- 4:44SPEAKER_09: They were active until 1991.
- 4:48SPEAKER_09: So they haven't been around since uh 30 years, man.
- 4:52SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 4:52SPEAKER_09: Um so after they broke up, they disbanded.
- 4:56SPEAKER_09: Hollis said that he wished to focus on his family.
- 4:59SPEAKER_09: Paul Webb rejoined Lee Harris, and the two went on to form the band O-Rang.
- 5:04SPEAKER_09: Never heard of him.
- 5:05SPEAKER_09: Never heard of them.
- 5:07SPEAKER_09: Um, and then they uh Tim Friese Green started recording under the name Heliogoland.
- 5:13SPEAKER_09: Oh, I've heard of him.
- 5:14SPEAKER_09: You have?
- 5:15SPEAKER_09: No.
- 5:15SPEAKER_09: I didn't think so.
- 5:17SPEAKER_09: Um Mark Hollis died in 2019.
- 5:23SPEAKER_09: Um so yeah, they they have not been around since 91.
- 5:29SPEAKER_09: But yeah, I dig that.
- 5:30SPEAKER_09: I just I don't know what it is.
- 5:32SPEAKER_09: I you know, I get that in that mood every once in a while.
- 5:34SPEAKER_09: And I also follow a bunch of uh things on Instagram, like um like 80s pages on Instagram.
- 5:44SPEAKER_09: You know what I'm talking about?
- 5:45SPEAKER_05: Yeah, because I uh I follow uh Gen X pages.
- 5:49SPEAKER_05: Which is really fun because you know, we're we're definitely Gen Xers.
- 5:52SPEAKER_05: Oh yes.
- 5:53SPEAKER_05: And uh and to be a Gen Xer is to be is to hate everybody else.
- 6:00SPEAKER_05: And it's really fun.
- 6:03SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 6:04SPEAKER_05: I guess because you hate the boomers, you hate the millennials.
- 6:08SPEAKER_09: Well I don't hate anybody, but I know what you mean.
- 6:10SPEAKER_05: You know, well, you know you don't hate it.
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: But you know, you're just like it was like it was I think I think the best the best summary of it was that it was a still from the Breakfast Club where all five of them are sitting on like this uh railing and it's like and it's like Gen X, they look down on everybody.
- 6:36SPEAKER_05: Speaking of Asian, I think I think it was one of those.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: I think it was one of those uh websites I saw that talk talk uh video from.
- 6:43SPEAKER_05: It was just yeah, it was a really it looked like a really bad TV show because the lighting was terrible and uh none none of the instruments were plugged in.
- 6:51SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 6:51SPEAKER_05: You know, so I mean it was just one of those.
- 6:54SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 6:54SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
- 6:56SPEAKER_09: I do.
- 6:57SPEAKER_09: Um so one of the one of the other things that got me thinking about the 80s is I saw this thing that Def Leopard is releasing a box set, which is um 40th anniversary of Pyromania.
- 7:08SPEAKER_05: So the box says it's just about Pyromania.
- 7:10SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 7:10SPEAKER_09: It's just it's a and I think it what it is is it's a box set that includes vinyl of Pyromania and CD of Pyromania, and has all these rarities on it.
- 7:21SPEAKER_04: Oh, that'd be cool.
- 7:22SPEAKER_09: Uh for the 40th anniversary.
- 7:23SPEAKER_09: And I have Ultimate Classic Rock has a um photograph in its raw form.
- 7:32SPEAKER_09: And I haven't read the article yet.
- 7:34SPEAKER_05: So do you have to look at the photograph?
- 7:36SPEAKER_09: Uh no.
- 7:37SPEAKER_09: They offered a glimpse into the creative process with the newly released.
- 7:41SPEAKER_05: I just dropped a friggin' nickelback reference and you just blew it off.
- 7:44SPEAKER_09: Ruh rough mix.
- 7:47SPEAKER_09: Oh photograph.
- 7:48SPEAKER_09: Sorry.
- 7:50SPEAKER_09: Yep, I did.
- 7:51SPEAKER_09: I didn't actually I had to.
- 7:53SPEAKER_05: You weren't even paying attention.
- 7:55SPEAKER_05: I think you do that to me a lot.
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: You're just like, ah, Dudge talking, I'm gonna keep going.
- 8:00SPEAKER_05: He's just gonna say something really stupid.
- 8:02SPEAKER_05: I'm just gonna ignore it and say something smart.
- 8:05SPEAKER_09: Um so a photograph rough mix version features f uh fewer of Mutt Lang's production tricks and has an unfinished lead vocal from Joe Elliott.
- 8:16SPEAKER_09: Oh.
- 8:17SPEAKER_09: So I'm interested to hear what this sounds like because Pyromania came out in what, 83?
- 8:23SPEAKER_09: 84?
- 8:23SPEAKER_09: 83, 83.
- 8:25SPEAKER_09: Well, because it took him three years to do Pyromania.
- 8:27SPEAKER_05: Well, this is the 40th anniversary, it had to be in 84.
- 8:31SPEAKER_09: 84 because I thought it took them three years to do hysteria.
- 8:35SPEAKER_05: It did.
- 8:35SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so and that came out in 86.
- 8:38SPEAKER_05: Well, maybe they started before that.
- 8:41SPEAKER_05: Maybe they were always working on it.
- 8:43SPEAKER_04: Maybe.
- 8:44SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 8:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but it was the 40th anniversary, and this is 2004.
- 8:48SPEAKER_05: Well, let's see.
- 8:48SPEAKER_05: Or 2000.
- 8:50SPEAKER_05: This is 2000.
- 8:51SPEAKER_05: I just time traveled.
- 8:53SPEAKER_05: Didn't even have my DeLorean or anything.
- 8:56SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: I guess you're right.
- 8:59SPEAKER_04: It had to be 84.
- 9:00SPEAKER_04: So when did Byr when did hysteria come out?
- 9:02SPEAKER_04: Wasn't that 87?
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: 88?
- 9:04SPEAKER_04: I think that was 88.
- 9:05SPEAKER_03: I thought it was 86.
- 9:06SPEAKER_09: I think it's 88.
- 9:07SPEAKER_09: Let me double check here.
- 9:08SPEAKER_09: Let me double check.
- 9:12SPEAKER_09: Um, of course.
- 9:13SPEAKER_09: I I guess I have to type in Deaf Leopard.
- 9:16SPEAKER_09: I can't just I can't just Google it.
- 9:17SPEAKER_05: Did it give you the psychological definition?
- 9:20SPEAKER_09: Yes, it did.
- 9:21SPEAKER_09: I figured, you know, Deaf Leopard's hysteria was kind of synonymous with the word.
- 9:24SPEAKER_05: Well, you know, it kinda it is with us Gen Xers.
- 9:28unknown: You know.
- 9:29SPEAKER_09: You're right.
- 9:29SPEAKER_09: It was 87.
- 9:30SPEAKER_09: No, there we go.
- 9:31SPEAKER_09: See.
- 9:31SPEAKER_09: August 3rd, 87.
- 9:32SPEAKER_09: I don't know why I thought it was 86.
- 9:35SPEAKER_09: So that makes sense.
- 9:36SPEAKER_09: Yes, it does.
- 9:36SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 9:37SPEAKER_09: It was recorded between February 84 and January of 87.
- 9:43SPEAKER_09: Jeez girl, three frickin' years now.
- 9:46SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 9:46unknown: Wow.
- 9:47SPEAKER_09: So anyway.
- 9:48SPEAKER_09: Well, that's a Mutt Lang thing for you.
- 9:49SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 9:50SPEAKER_09: Well, it's also the Rick Allen had his accident.
- 9:53SPEAKER_05: Oh, that's right.
- 9:53SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 9:54SPEAKER_09: He had his accident after Pyromania.
- 9:55SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 9:56SPEAKER_09: That's right.
- 9:57SPEAKER_09: Okay, so this is photograph, rough mix version from the newly upcoming 40th anniversary uh box set of Pyromania.
- 10:05SPEAKER_09: Now let's see what this sounds like.
- 10:06SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 10:08SPEAKER_05: So far so good.
- 10:09SPEAKER_05: Oh, so good.
- 10:48SPEAKER_03: That's what it's called.
- 11:36SPEAKER_09: So this is before Mont Lang got his hands on it.
- 11:40SPEAKER_09: Is that what they're saying?
- 11:42SPEAKER_05: I I don't know.
- 11:43SPEAKER_05: I mean because the the bed tracks sound pretty much like the drums basic rhythm guitar sound the same.
- 11:53SPEAKER_09: There you go, unfinished vocal.
- 12:03SPEAKER_09: So do you think bands do that though?
- 12:05SPEAKER_09: Like, especially bands in this this stage of their career.
- 12:08SPEAKER_09: Let's put out all the stuff that we never put out, you know, like the demos and stuff.
- 12:14SPEAKER_09: But then they like take a mix and just remove some things and say this was our rough demo.
- 12:22SPEAKER_09: And we did we did.
- 12:23SPEAKER_05: I mean I I wouldn't put it past them.
- 12:25SPEAKER_09: Because it sounds really good.
- 12:26SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but I I I don't think so.
- 12:29SPEAKER_05: I think they wanna.
- 12:31SPEAKER_05: I mean, you want I think they want people to see that you know this was wrong, you know.
- 12:36SPEAKER_09: But all the elements were there.
- 12:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 12:39SPEAKER_05: It's not the finished finished product, but this is this is what we had you know a year in or whatever, you know what I mean.
- 12:59SPEAKER_09: That sounds pretty close.
- 13:01SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 13:01SPEAKER_09: And you know, I mean, some bands I've I and I've read articles and books and things where where bands are so they're for lack of a better word, anal when it comes to the demo.
- 13:18SPEAKER_09: They demo it to death.
- 13:19SPEAKER_09: Oh, yeah, so that they have all the elements, and essentially, you just put out the demo.
- 13:26SPEAKER_09: Like, uh, wasn't Collective Soul was like that, their first album.
- 13:29SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 13:30SPEAKER_09: It was all Ed Rollin, his demos.
- 13:34SPEAKER_09: And they went to the record company and said, Oh, we're putting it out just as it is because it's awesome.
- 13:38SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 13:38SPEAKER_09: You know, it's interesting that, you know, all the elements are there, you know, like we were saying.
- 13:47SPEAKER_09: Like, could you reproduce that?
- 13:49SPEAKER_09: I'm sure they used this and just added elements to it.
- 13:52SPEAKER_05: I'm sure they added some stuff to it, but this was like a you know, maybe this was like the best of the rough mixes.
- 13:59SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 13:59SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 14:00SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 14:03SPEAKER_09: Oh, that'd be interesting to have, you know, stuff like that.
- 14:06SPEAKER_09: If you're I mean, if you're a huge I'm a huge Duff Leppard fan, but I don't know.
- 14:11SPEAKER_09: I don't I don't know if I'd get the box set of that.
- 14:14SPEAKER_09: Uh although I said I wouldn't get the symphonies.
- 14:16SPEAKER_09: Guess who has the symphonies?
- 14:18SPEAKER_05: Uh everybody in this room that has the symphonies, please raise your hand.
- 14:23SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 14:26SPEAKER_05: I said I wasn't gonna get it, but I got it.
- 14:27SPEAKER_05: I must Teresa, you got this?
- 14:32SPEAKER_06: Yeah, she doesn't have it.
- 14:35unknown: Okay.
- 14:35SPEAKER_05: Um so yeah, no, I I'm a big Deaf Leopard fan, so I I Well so what what exactly is going to does it say what's going to be in the boxes?
- 14:43SPEAKER_09: Uh well let's see.
- 14:44SPEAKER_09: It says on April 26th, they're gonna release it.
- 14:48SPEAKER_09: Pyromania 40.
- 14:49SPEAKER_09: The reissue is gonna be a four CD Blu-ray box, a one LP half-speed master, two LP black vinyl, two LP colored vinyl, two CD and digitally.
- 15:06SPEAKER_09: The four CD Blu-ray box includes the remastered original album, a disc full of demos and outtakes, live footage from two different 1983 concerts, several official videos, and an instrumental mix of the album.
- 15:21SPEAKER_09: It's available to pre-order on the Babys to Band's website now.
- 15:24SPEAKER_09: An instrumental mix of the album.
- 15:27SPEAKER_09: That sounds interesting.
- 15:28SPEAKER_09: Like without vocals?
- 15:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 15:30SPEAKER_05: I'd like to hear that.
- 15:31SPEAKER_05: Wow, that would be interesting.
- 15:34SPEAKER_09: Um they wouldn't worry about people using that for karaoke and stuff.
- 15:40SPEAKER_09: Why would they?
- 15:46SPEAKER_09: An instrumental mix of the album.
- 15:47SPEAKER_09: That's good.
- 15:50SPEAKER_05: So basically, you can get the four C D or you can get uh vinyl box set or uh This is that all that's not included in the one thing, right?
- 16:03SPEAKER_05: That's not the box set.
- 16:04SPEAKER_05: You get all that stuff in one box set.
- 16:06SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 16:07SPEAKER_09: Yes, you get all that stuff in one box set.
- 16:09SPEAKER_05: What?
- 16:11SPEAKER_09: Oh, no, no, no.
- 16:12SPEAKER_09: I was about to say that's crazy.
- 16:14SPEAKER_09: The reissue will be available as a four C D Blu-ray box.
- 16:19SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 16:20SPEAKER_09: Also as a one LP half speed master.
- 16:23SPEAKER_09: I don't know what that means.
- 16:24SPEAKER_09: I don't either.
- 16:25SPEAKER_09: Two LP black vinyl.
- 16:27SPEAKER_09: Okay, two P LP colored vinyl two C D package, and digitally.
- 16:35SPEAKER_05: I I would have to go with the four C D one because I mean the two C D one would probably be cheaper.
- 16:41SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 16:42SPEAKER_05: But I think the four C D one.
- 16:43SPEAKER_09: Well the four C D I would imagine is that's got that instrumental.
- 16:47SPEAKER_09: Well, here's the thing.
- 16:48SPEAKER_09: I think I think what it is, because it there's a blu-rays as well, so I think what it is Oh that's where all the concert and videos are on.
- 16:55SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 16:55SPEAKER_09: So you get the two CDs, which is the the the Pyromania plus the outtakes, right, right, and demos.
- 17:02SPEAKER_09: And then you probably get two Blu-rays of concerts.
- 17:06SPEAKER_09: Okay, that's probably what it is.
- 17:08SPEAKER_09: Videos and concerts.
- 17:08SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 17:09SPEAKER_09: Videos and concerts, yeah.
- 17:10SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that makes sense.
- 17:10SPEAKER_09: That's probably what it is.
- 17:11SPEAKER_09: But that's cool.
- 17:12SPEAKER_05: Well, you know what?
- 17:13SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna sell my car now.
- 17:14SPEAKER_05: So I can get it.
- 17:16SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 17:16SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 17:17SPEAKER_09: That's about the size of it.
- 17:19SPEAKER_09: Um, here's something that that might be worth the price of admission.
- 17:26SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 17:27SPEAKER_09: Uh Joe Elliott said a labor of love, and he loved every minute of it, rediscovering dusty old cassettes, which were brilliantly restored by Ronan McHugh, and finding the long lost, unfinished eleventh track was a journey only few of us are lucky enough to take.
- 17:45SPEAKER_09: There's an eleventh track, which obviously would be on the bonus.
- 17:49SPEAKER_04: Crap.
- 17:50SPEAKER_05: Now we're gonna have to get it.

- 19:12SPEAKER_05: The O'Brien Doug and Teresa podcast.
- 19:16SPEAKER_09: Alright, so while we're on 80s, I know we have talked about Oh I did I did say I saw something else today.
- 19:22SPEAKER_05: It was interesting.
- 19:23SPEAKER_05: It was Glennis.
- 19:25SPEAKER_05: What's his name?
- 19:26SPEAKER_09: Glenn Johnson.
- 19:26SPEAKER_05: Glenn Johnson.
- 19:27SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 19:28SPEAKER_05: He was talking about why music sucks so bad now.
- 19:35SPEAKER_09: Well, he's dead, isn't he?
- 19:36SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 19:36SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 19:37SPEAKER_05: Well, this was this was an old interview.
- 19:38SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 19:39SPEAKER_05: And he said it's because of the way it's recorded now.
- 19:44SPEAKER_05: Because in the old days, everybody recorded together.
- 19:50SPEAKER_05: You did your drums, bass, rhythm, guitar, you were all in the same room.
- 19:54SPEAKER_05: Yes, because there's an energy there.
- 19:55SPEAKER_05: That's exactly what he said.
- 19:56SPEAKER_05: He says music is about emotion.
- 19:59SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 19:59SPEAKER_05: And you can't have emotion if you're just sitting by yourself.
- 20:02SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 20:03SPEAKER_09: There are still bands that record that way today.
- 20:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 20:06SPEAKER_09: Um, it's few and far between.
- 20:08SPEAKER_05: That's what I was just gonna say.
- 20:09SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 20:09SPEAKER_05: But I thought that was interesting.
- 20:10SPEAKER_05: I was like, yeah, that dude.
- 20:12SPEAKER_05: I mean, because that dude dictate everybody.
- 20:14SPEAKER_09: Oh yeah.
- 20:14SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 20:14SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 20:15SPEAKER_05: So he would know.
- 20:16SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 20:16SPEAKER_05: You know?
- 20:17SPEAKER_05: But I mean, yeah, he th this was obviously an older interview.
- 20:20SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 20:21SPEAKER_05: But it was you know, he was talking about, you know, he said, you know, recording digitally, but I won't even get into that.
- 20:28SPEAKER_09: And I was like, I'd like to hear what his thoughts on the digital you know, so um well, you know, like um, because Andy Johns, which would be his son?
- 20:42SPEAKER_04: Probably John.
- 20:43SPEAKER_09: No, Ethan Johns.
- 20:45SPEAKER_09: Okay, so hold on.
- 20:46SPEAKER_09: Glenn Johns and Andy Johns, how are they related?
- 20:49SPEAKER_09: Anyway, Andy Johns did Van Halen's um for Unlawful Cardinal Knowledge album.
- 20:55SPEAKER_09: And they they recorded that, like the at least the basic tracks together.
- 21:02SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 21:02SPEAKER_06: And you could tell.
- 21:03SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 21:04SPEAKER_09: You know?
- 21:05SPEAKER_09: Uh and most most most of what Van Halen did, um I got on Van H Van Halen because we're talking about Glenn Johns and Andy Johnson.
- 21:13SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 21:14SPEAKER_09: Um was in the studio.
- 21:16SPEAKER_09: They didn't piece things together.
- 21:18SPEAKER_09: Right, yeah.
- 21:18SPEAKER_09: I mean, Sammy Sammy might have overdubbed his vocals and they might have overdubbed a guitar track here and there, but the essential basic tracks were them in the studio together.
- 21:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 21:28SPEAKER_09: You know?
- 21:29SPEAKER_05: I mean that's why that's why all their albums are awesome.
- 21:31SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 21:32SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 21:32SPEAKER_09: Exactly.
- 21:33SPEAKER_09: Just saying.
- 21:34SPEAKER_09: Yep.
- 21:35SPEAKER_09: Um now on the on the flip side of that, Def Leopard's last album, which I think is one of their best, uh at least one of their best of the latter part of their career.
- 21:48SPEAKER_09: Um was all recorded in different locations.
- 21:52SPEAKER_09: Piecemeal.
- 21:54SPEAKER_09: Uh you can tell.
- 21:56SPEAKER_09: I'm sure.
- 21:56SPEAKER_09: I mean, there are there there are some good performances, obviously, but you can.
- 22:00SPEAKER_09: tell the that the energy is not the same as it would be if it if they were in the same in the same room.
- 22:07SPEAKER_09: But that doesn't I mean it's still good, but it's a it's a different kind of good.
- 22:12SPEAKER_05: It's a different vibe.
- 22:12SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it is a different vibe.
- 22:13SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
- 22:14SPEAKER_09: Um so we have talked ad nauseum about we don't talk ad nauseum about anything.
- 22:20SPEAKER_09: Uh oh I I did hear from Bob Hollywood.

- 25:28SPEAKER_09: We usually talk with Jack about it, but we haven't lined anything up.
- 25:31SPEAKER_09: I sent a uh I sent a a message to Joe Co to see if maybe he was available to go on with us tonight and he hasn't replied.
- 25:38SPEAKER_09: So I don't know that's enough probably so I thought one of my favorite things about 80s TV shows is the theme songs.
- 25:50SPEAKER_09: Um there's some um a lot of them are cheesy now.
- 25:56SPEAKER_09: But at the time you know it was it was it was pretty cool.
- 26:00SPEAKER_09: A lot of them you knew and and when you hear it we talked about the other day we talked about um that uh William Catt show um the greatest American hero one of the greatest theme songs ever right I gotta pull that up to see if I can even find that one but yeah there were so many man there were and there were as let's see hold on and YouTube has them of course YouTube does I mean come on it wouldn't be YouTube if they didn't right page blocked I'm not sure why the page is blocked Oh we don't want commercials we don't want commercials it's chocolate with with almonds in it oh here we go yeah yeah I mean listen to that's a great I mean let's agree what's happened to me and this show was only on for a couple years I was supposed to say it was only a season or two but I I loved it I thought it was a great show you know this is Joey Scarberry Who could it be believe it or not it's just me yeah yeah great stuff yeah you can't go run it um I'm just gonna because I'm just thinking of of this other show you probably don't remember this I bet I don't I bet you don't Bob and I used to watch a show and we decided that Bob and I were funny that way.
- 27:57SPEAKER_09: This was before you and I were as tight as we are you're talking about McGyver.
- 28:01SPEAKER_09: Nope I'm not oh my god although I'll I'm I'm gonna play that one here too in a second um Bob and I were a lot tighter than you and I at this time when we were younger uh it's because you guys were in the we were in the same grade yes um but we used to make plans like in sixth grade uh we used to draw these futuristic vehicles like trucks with like laser things on top of that and so we started a company in our head called Future Tech and we were gonna like make all kinds of crap and we didn't even know what we were doing.
- 28:39SPEAKER_09: But um we always kind of I don't know we got into a Beats Boys thing we were gonna be surfers.
- 28:46SPEAKER_09: I do remember that face I do remember that face I remember we we were uh so this one uh there was a TV show that came on Bob Bob was really into the surfing thing he was and I used to make fun of him incessantly because it's like Bob you live in northern Maine Northern Maine I mean he used to You are so far from the ocean right now bro dude we used to we used to put up a volleyball net in my backyard yeah and we used to pump beach boys music out my bedroom window and go out in our shorts and stuff and play volleyball pretend we were playing beach volleyball all right hey well that's closer now right yeah you know you know you just miss in the sand but we had we had surfing posters on our bedroom windows oh yeah Bob was really into surfing oh yeah so was I yeah so was I yeah so um but another thing that we got into it's like we go through these phases like oh okay we're gonna do this no we're gonna be surfers no we're gonna do this there was a TV show uh Robert Conrad and his two real life sons were in this TV show and well see I'll see if you uh recognize the um it's time to upgrade see I forget that's when you sometimes they have commercials and I mean sometimes it's just it's basically every time oh yeah you guys are gonna be like high Texas Rangers or something rangers that's what it was I remember that now this is Lee Greenwood yeah uh he had the theme song where a man who was strong came to stay making peace with the earth finding the way he survives a mountain ranger we were so stupid we were so stupid it's good to have dreams so dumb so there's that you will um recognize this one because I to this day um one of my I am yeah one of our one of actually we dated the same girl I think I think you dated her uh Danielle yeah I did she claims that I dumped her I was in sixth grade seventh grade something like that she claims that I dumped her and the reason I gave her was she called too much during MacGyver You can't call during MacGyver because you're gonna miss a lot I mean come on you gotta be you gotta be smart I am you know what I mean you gotta be smarter than that if you're watching MacGyver you just can't just like casually watch McGyver you have to watch MacGyver so you think she has a point you I don't I don't think I'm not saying I know I was shallow but I don't think I always I think she was drunk but I but but seriously when you're watching McGarvey you cannot be distracted.
- 32:03SPEAKER_05: Right because you're gonna miss you know because something's gonna happen you're gonna be like how did he do that?
- 32:09SPEAKER_05: Because I didn't even see it.
- 32:10SPEAKER_05: What how did what happened?
- 32:12SPEAKER_05: Because you can miss a lot it's become a verb yeah you MacGyver it.
- 32:16SPEAKER_05: Right you know I mean yeah I got to exactly but yeah yeah you gotta play that one because that may be one of the greatest 80s theme songs.
- 32:23SPEAKER_05: This one?
- 32:23SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah they didn't it didn't do the whole uh the whole intro yeah that kind of sucks well it's just the it's just the theme song yeah but it's still great i i just like the beginning because of course you're you're wondering if you're if you're not of the Gen X if you're not a Gen Xer turn this off right this is this is not your podcast this is the A Team And you know a lot of these theme songs were written by the same couple of people oh yeah yeah you know like Mike Post is one of them he wrote a lot of those theme songs we're talking about oh I remember this one oh chip yeah great man that was my favorite part I was just always fascinated when it showed parts of the motorcycle and I was just like and then it showed his gun on the and and Baker had the the nights yeah I never realized until recently were like how 70 this music is oh it's oh it's right up there with the rocky uh you know yeah you know what I mean now Eric my grandmother loved two two guys now okay okay notice something here notice notice something that they didn't look when they merged onto the highway no no how racist this is what's racist about let's let's let's get into this because you know somebody's got to so they show Baker watch he's got the he's got the blonde glove okay then they show pawn and he's got the black glove I know yeah but everybody wants the black gloves anyway because they're way cooler.
- 34:44SPEAKER_09: I mean come on I'm just pointing out you know that hey no my grandmother was in love with two men one was Magnum PI the other one was Eric Estrada oh yeah oh yeah she loved that guy oh speaking of uh let's see that has to be one of my are they actually gonna show an episode trick or treat that that has to be one of my favorite actually um theme songs from from the 80s is is the Magnum one.
- 35:21SPEAKER_05: Money that comes guys definitely improved the way we work I'm getting free advertising here because you know very back I am oh man it's Thursday night I'm sitting on the living room rug right six inches from the TV right now watch it and you know I'm not saying today's TV shows are bad but they don't make a lot of them are yeah but they don't make them like this anymore.

- 1:03:01SPEAKER_09: Yeah, but I mean it like the the sequence.
- 1:03:03SPEAKER_09: The sequence.
- 1:03:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was great.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_08: Terrence Knox, yeah, I remember this, man.
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_09: Did any stars from this go on to really anything?
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_09: I've seen him somewhere before.
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, most of them are still, you know, they were kind of B-list.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, I'm not gonna say unknown.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_03: No, but in the 80s they were world-known.
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_09: John Die.
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_09: I don't remember him.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_09: John Die went on to um uh Touched by an Angel.
- 1:04:11SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_04: That was a good one.
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that was a good show.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_05: That was a great show.
- 1:04:18SPEAKER_05: Did you remember China Beach?
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_05: Did you ever watch China Beach?
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_05: I didn't get into it.
- 1:04:22SPEAKER_05: It wasn't as interesting as Tour of Green.
- 1:04:24SPEAKER_09: Is China Beach the one with um Dana Delaney?
- 1:04:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I think so.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_09: Yeah, okay.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_09: I'm trying to think of some other ones.
- 1:04:36SPEAKER_09: I know there's ones that we meant.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_09: Well, of course.
- 1:04:43SPEAKER_09: Actually, yeah, no, I would say 89.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_09: 79?
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_09: Into the 80s.
- 1:04:50SPEAKER_09: Oh, Dukes of Hazard, yeah.
- 1:04:51SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_05: That was a Friday night staple, man.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_05: You had to watch Dukes of Hazard.
- 1:05:02SPEAKER_03: But they they were both.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_09: Yeah, we used to wa I used to watch Chips religiously.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_09: Yeah.

- 1:05:16SPEAKER_09: Magnum P.I.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_08: Simon and Simon.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_08: Like PI, I never watched that.
- 1:05:22SPEAKER_09: But uh oh, and I'm I'm just looking at this here.
- 1:05:27SPEAKER_09: They they've got a thing with one of the guys from Millie Vanilli.
- 1:05:32SPEAKER_09: I wanted to tell you.
- 1:05:34SPEAKER_09: I watched that documentary.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_09: There's a documentary about Millie Vanilli, relatively new.
- 1:05:40SPEAKER_09: I almost think it's on the other.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_09: But it was pretty good.
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_09: Um Um they the other one.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_09: Uh Fa Fab Fab Fab Fab Fab.
- 1:06:09SPEAKER_09: Fab.
- 1:06:09SPEAKER_09: I think they called him Fab.
- 1:06:11SPEAKER_09: Um He can sing.
- 1:06:14SPEAKER_09: Oh, I'm sure they can.
- 1:06:15SPEAKER_09: And and and the music that he made after Millie Vanilli, like the music that he's making now, is pretty good.
- 1:06:23SPEAKER_05: I'm sure.
- 1:06:23SPEAKER_09: You know, it's like, why didn't you do that in the first place?
- 1:06:25SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 1:06:26SPEAKER_05: I it just never made any sense.
- 1:06:27SPEAKER_09: I would I would uh you know I would suggest it.
- 1:06:29SPEAKER_09: I would, you know, that's a good that was a good documentary to watch.
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_09: What's it called?
- 1:06:32SPEAKER_09: Um Millie Vanilli.
- 1:06:37SPEAKER_06: I never saw that coming.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_09: Hold on.
- 1:06:39SPEAKER_09: Let me let me double check here because um it is on Paramount Plus.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_09: Um Netflix.
- 1:06:55SPEAKER_09: Uh I want to see what it's called.
- 1:06:59SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_09: Uh you almost feel almost.
- 1:07:07SPEAKER_09: Feel bad for them.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_09: Well, I do feel bad.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_09: I mean I mean they knew what they were doing.
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_05: They they were complicit, yes.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_05: Yes.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_09: But I do I I think the backlash was a little much.
- 1:07:19SPEAKER_05: It was.
- 1:07:20SPEAKER_05: You know, you know.
- 1:07:22SPEAKER_05: Because I mean, look at uh what's her face?
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_05: She got busted for lip syncing on Ashley Simpson.
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_05: Ashley Simpson, yeah.
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean, you haven't heard from her since.
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_05: You know.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_05: After they got exposed, you never heard from them again.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 1:07:35SPEAKER_05: You know, but you know, they do it everybody does it to this day.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_09: Yeah, everybody does.
- 1:07:40SPEAKER_09: They lip sync.
- 1:07:41SPEAKER_09: But the thing is, is is Well, it's better now.
- 1:07:44SPEAKER_09: Because you know, the technology is better, but you Well, not only that, but like Ashley Simpson was lip syncing on TV.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_09: They do that.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_09: Everyone You know, the Star Spangled Banner at the Super Bowl is taped and they and they lip sync it.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:07:59SPEAKER_09: Because that's a that's a fail-safe.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_09: Right?
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_09: Because they went out claiming that it was their music and claiming that it was their voice.
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_09: And it was not.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_09: And so that's a little bit different.
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_09: But yeah.
- 1:08:12SPEAKER_09: Um everybody lip synks.
- 1:08:14SPEAKER_09: Uh it's I don't like it.
- 1:08:16SPEAKER_09: It's but it, you know.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah, it just it just it is i i it's a thing now.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 1:08:22SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_09: Um, so there.
- 1:08:25SPEAKER_09: I think that was a nice little trip down memory lane.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:28SPEAKER_06: Everybody's left.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_05: They shut this off a while ago.
- 1:08:36SPEAKER_05: Like, is that all they're gonna do today?
- 1:08:38SPEAKER_05: What are they doing?
- 1:08:39SPEAKER_05: Just watch different theme songs?
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_05: What are these two morons doing?
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_09: We're waxing nostalgic, is what we're doing.
- 1:08:47SPEAKER_09: Yeah, sometimes.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_09: And I'm sure other Gen X people that that listen to our show are like, oh, I remember that one.
- 1:08:52SPEAKER_09: I remember that, Joe.
- 1:08:53SPEAKER_05: I remember that, Joe.

- 1:09:09SPEAKER_09: Is the Biano thing out yet?
- 1:09:11SPEAKER_05: Uh I don't think so.
- 1:09:12SPEAKER_05: You don't think so?
- 1:09:13SPEAKER_05: Because they I don't think so.
- 1:09:14SPEAKER_05: I mean they released a trailer, but I haven't seen it.
- 1:09:17SPEAKER_09: They released another trailer.
- 1:09:19SPEAKER_09: Because I I remember seeing uh a second.
- 1:09:26SPEAKER_09: Uh it is out.
- 1:09:27SPEAKER_09: Oh, it is out, okay.
- 1:09:28SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's an hour and forty-two minutes.

- 1:09:32SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_05: Oh, so yeah.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_05: So just today then.
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_09: The voice that defined a generation.
- 1:09:37SPEAKER_09: Okay, let's let's play one of these.
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_09: Because we played one before.
- 1:09:41SPEAKER_11: So this is just a the title of the next record, Taking It to the Streets.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_11: Taking it to the streets.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_11: I could hear the intro in my head, and I didn't really know what it was until I got to a piano and sussed out the chords.
- 1:09:55SPEAKER_11: You know, it's not a progression you haven't heard before.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_11: No, but did you think to yourself this is gonna be a massive hit?
- 1:10:01SPEAKER_11: There always was a time when you were recording.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_11: There was that feeling you'd get where you'd go, wow, you know.
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_11: That shit sounds good.
- 1:10:11SPEAKER_15: The title of the next record.
- 1:10:14SPEAKER_09: Okay, I guess I know what I'm doing tonight.
- 1:10:17SPEAKER_04: That's positive.
- 1:10:18SPEAKER_09: So that is uh Rick Beato on YouTube.

- 1:10:23SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:10:23SPEAKER_09: Rick Beatto and Rick Beatto 2.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_09: Um, I can't remember why, but I think it's it has to do with an album.
- 1:10:29SPEAKER_05: It's a money uh monet monetization thing.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_05: So uh She was having a hard time with it.
- 1:10:34SPEAKER_09: I would say support Rick Beato any way you can because the content that he does is it's top notch.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_09: It's top notch.
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_09: And uh so that Michael McDonald interview is available now on YouTube.
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_05: Uh I still can't wait for the book to come out.

- 1:12:27SPEAKER_09: We're back.
- 1:12:28SPEAKER_09: And we're gonna climb the wall of tunes.
- 1:12:29SPEAKER_09: But uh, while I'm climbing the wall of tunes, you're gonna read from A Hard Days Right.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_09: Yes.
- 1:12:34SPEAKER_09: Stories behind everyone.
- 1:12:35SPEAKER_05: Okay, I didn't usually I randomly pick one.
- 1:12:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:12:39SPEAKER_05: Today I have to pick this one because I actually woke up yesterday morning with this song stuck in my head all day long.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_09: Did you wake up and get out of bed?
- 1:12:49SPEAKER_05: No, not even that sort of thing.
- 1:12:50SPEAKER_09: Was it comb through your head?
- 1:12:51SPEAKER_05: No.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_05: No.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_05: Uh Happiness is a warm gun.
- 1:12:55SPEAKER_09: Oh, there you go.
- 1:12:55SPEAKER_09: All right.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_09: I'd be interested to hear this one.
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I am too.
- 1:12:58SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:12:58SPEAKER_09: I'm gonna climb the wall.
- 1:13:00SPEAKER_05: Okay, so the idea for this song came to John after he discovered a gun magazine belonging to George Martin.
- 1:13:06SPEAKER_05: George Martin.
- 1:13:07SPEAKER_05: Yeah! That had been left lying around the studio.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_05: On the cover was the line, Happiness is a warm gun in your hand.
- 1:13:15SPEAKER_05: It was too good a phrase to let go, and he began to toy with it.
- 1:13:18SPEAKER_05: I thought, what a fantastic thing to say, John later remarked.
- 1:13:21SPEAKER_05: A warm gun means you've just shot something.
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_05: Uh John had recently No, I can see I can see the connection there.
- 1:13:30SPEAKER_05: The Japanese artist he had first met at an exhibition of her art in 1966.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_05: By his own admission, he felt very sexually oriented during this period.
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_05: Whatever that friggin' means.
- 1:13:42SPEAKER_05: So before long, the idea for a song about a warm gun had taken on sexual connotations and gave rise to phrases about itchy tring trigger trigger fingers and discharged loads.
- 1:13:56SPEAKER_05: If it was a song about anybody, it was a song about Yoko.
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_05: Of course it was.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_05: She was the girl he held in his arms, the girl who was so smart she didn't miss a trick, and the one he always called Mother, in this case, Mother Superior.
- 1:14:10SPEAKER_05: But tagged on to the original lines were random images picked up from a night of acid tripping with Derek Taylor, Neil Aspinall, and Pete Shoton at a house Taylor was running from Pete Asher in New Newtigate near Dorking.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_05: I'm sorry, England, your place names are weird.
- 1:14:33SPEAKER_05: John said he had written half a song, wanted us to toss out phrases while Neil wrote them down, says Taylor.
- 1:14:39SPEAKER_05: First of all, he wanted to know how to describe a girl who was really smart, and I remembered a phrase of my father's, which was, She's not a girl who misses much.
- 1:14:47SPEAKER_05: It sounds faint like faint praise on the Mersey side in those days.
- 1:14:54SPEAKER_05: Then I told a story about a chap my wife, Joan, and I met in Carrick Bay Hotel on the Isle of Man.
- 1:15:01SPEAKER_05: It was late one night drinking in the bar, and this local fellow who liked meeting holiday makers and rapping to them suddenly said to us, I like wearing moleskin gloves, you know.
- 1:15:11SPEAKER_05: It gives me a bit of an unusual sensation when I'm out with my girlfriend.
- 1:15:15SPEAKER_05: I have no idea what that means.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_05: He then said, I don't want to go into details, so we didn't, but that provided the line.
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_05: She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand.
- 1:15:25SPEAKER_05: Oh, okay, well that makes sense.
- 1:15:27SPEAKER_05: Then there was like a lizard on a window pane.
- 1:15:29SPEAKER_05: That to me was a symbol of a very quick movement.
- 1:15:32SPEAKER_05: Often when we were living in LA, you'd leave you'd look up and see tiny lizards nipping at the up the window, continues Taylor.
- 1:15:40SPEAKER_05: The man in the crowd with the multicolored mirrors on his hob nail boots was something I'd seen in a newspaper about a Manchester City soccer fan who had been arrested by the police for having mirrors on the toe caps of his shoes so he could look up girls' skirts.
- 1:15:54SPEAKER_05: We thought this was an incredibly complicated and torturous way of getting a cheap thrill, and so that became multi-licensed ads, Taylor.
- 1:16:01SPEAKER_05: The bit about lying with his eyes while his hands were working overtime came from another thing I'd read about where a man wearing a cloak had fake plastic hands which he would rest on the counter of a shop while underneath the cloak he was busy lifting things and stuffing them in a bag around his waist.
- 1:16:18SPEAKER_05: That's pretty impressive.
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_05: I don't know where the soap impression of his wife came from, but the eating of something and then donating it to the National Trust came from a conversation we had had about the horrors of walking in public spaces on Merseyside, where we were always coming across the evidence of people having crapped behind bushes and in old air raid shelters.
- 1:16:40SPEAKER_05: So to donate what you've eaten to the National Trust, a British organization with responsibilities for upkeeping countryside of great beauty, was what we would now be known as defecation on common land owned by the National Trust.
- 1:16:54SPEAKER_05: When John put it all together, it created a series of layers of images.
- 1:16:58SPEAKER_05: It was like a whole mess of color, Taylor concludes.
- 1:17:02SPEAKER_05: The Beatles had just started to record this track on the day Linda Eastman arrived in London to begin life with Paul.
- 1:17:09SPEAKER_05: Wow.
- 1:17:10SPEAKER_05: Well there we go.
- 1:17:12SPEAKER_05: I was curious about that conversation.
- 1:17:16SPEAKER_05: Uh the story behind that.
- 1:17:19SPEAKER_07: Speaking of the Beatles, look at this what I just found here.
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_04: What am I looking at?
- 1:17:28SPEAKER_09: So this is Second City.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_09: Uh this is Steve Carell.
- 1:17:35SPEAKER_09: Oh wow.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_09: That's a very young Steve Carell.
- 1:17:37SPEAKER_09: And this is Stephen Colbert.
- 1:17:38SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
- 1:17:39SPEAKER_09: And two other guys.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_09: And these guys.
- 1:17:42SPEAKER_09: Right, but obviously like a Beatles tradition to the Regal.
- 1:17:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:17:47SPEAKER_09: Anyway.
- 1:17:48SPEAKER_09: Uh National Retro Day, apparently, was uh February 27th.
- 1:17:52SPEAKER_04: Ah, alright, well anyway.
- 1:17:54SPEAKER_04: I missed it.
- 1:17:55SPEAKER_09: Yeah, me too.
- 1:17:56SPEAKER_09: Um alright, so I have an album.
- 1:17:59SPEAKER_09: And I don't think you have to ask one question.
- 1:18:03SPEAKER_09: What is the what because it's from the 80s.
- 1:18:05SPEAKER_09: Okay.
- 1:18:06SPEAKER_09: Well, actually, uh, I shouldn't say that.
- 1:18:08SPEAKER_09: I should say ask you a question.
- 1:18:10SPEAKER_09: Let's see.
- 1:18:10SPEAKER_09: I have an album.

- 1:29:21SPEAKER_09: Uh I shouldn't say he's a friend of mine, he's an uh an acquaintance of mine.
- 1:29:26SPEAKER_09: But uh he let's see, where did it go?

- 1:29:46SPEAKER_09: Uh and actually really good friends with uh Mark Tremonti from uh Creed and and Alderbridge.

- 1:30:04SPEAKER_09: Oh wow.
- 1:30:05SPEAKER_09: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
- 1:30:06SPEAKER_09: But anyway, he uh he's an amazing, amazing artist.
- 1:30:10SPEAKER_09: I'm not gonna say his last name just because uh I said that he lost his dad, and that that's not anybody's business.
- 1:30:16SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:30:17SPEAKER_09: But he posted something on Facebook and and his sister, um f uh it was either for the funeral, if I if I could actually let me look it up.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_09: No.
- 1:30:28SPEAKER_09: Um we were talking we've been talking about 80s, right?
- 1:30:32SPEAKER_09: Um I thought this was kind of timely.
- 1:30:36SPEAKER_09: Um even though he just lost his dad.
- 1:30:41SPEAKER_07: Now why wouldn't it show up on his page?
- 1:30:43SPEAKER_07: Because he just posted it.
- 1:30:46SPEAKER_09: I think he lost both of his parents.
- 1:30:52SPEAKER_09: Never mind.
- 1:30:53SPEAKER_09: I just saw it, I swear.
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_09: Unless he took it down.
- 1:30:57SPEAKER_09: But um his sister got him a t-shirt that was um well, let me just play the theme song.
- 1:31:08SPEAKER_09: And the never-ending story.
- 1:31:14SPEAKER_09: Please, please tell me you've seen the never-ending story.
- 1:31:17SPEAKER_05: Long time ago.

- 1:31:25SPEAKER_09: Mm-hmm.
- 1:31:29SPEAKER_09: Uh, and because his dad his dad, even though he was older, used to love that movie, and he used to love sitting down with his kids and watching it.
- 1:31:39SPEAKER_09: Um this is uh Lamal and the never-ending story theme song.
- 1:31:46SPEAKER_09: Uh so I think it was I just think it was uh kind of a neat it was timely that we were talking about the 80s.
- 1:31:54SPEAKER_09: And so uh as a tribute to his dad, I figured I'd just put this on.
- 1:31:59SPEAKER_09: Um and end on that note.
- 1:32:07SPEAKER_09: It's a crazy movie.
- 1:32:08SPEAKER_09: I mean it's yeah, it was it was for the time, it was like yeah, you know, yeah, and it's still kind of it's still kind of odd.
- 1:32:17SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it's odd, but it was neat, it was like an adventure.
- 1:32:21SPEAKER_05: Oh, for you know, for the 80s, it was like ahead of its time.
- 1:32:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:32:24SPEAKER_05: You know what I mean?
- 1:32:25SPEAKER_09: So yeah, it's crazy.

- 1:32:54SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 1:32:54SPEAKER_05: I mean, I can count on one hand the men the amount of times we've actually pre-planned something.

- 1:33:06SPEAKER_09: I did say purposely today that we need to talk more about music and less about my family and my my weekend and stuff like that.
- 1:33:14SPEAKER_09: Because that's usually just a jumping off point that gets us going.
- 1:33:17SPEAKER_09: Right.
- 1:33:17SPEAKER_09: And then we get into what we're gonna talk about.
- 1:33:19SPEAKER_09: But I just I don't know.

- 1:33:41SPEAKER_09: That's true.
- 1:33:42SPEAKER_05: They're like, hey, how's the how's the basketball going?
- 1:33:45SPEAKER_09: Maybe that's another reason I need to stop doing it.
