17:24
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
17:24
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, it was just basically a waste of time.
17:28
SPEAKER_09: Basically, you just have everybody put their head down.
17:31
SPEAKER_15: Yeah.
17:31
SPEAKER_09: And then they have to point where they think north is.
17:37
SPEAKER_09: It's pretty hysterical.
17:38
SPEAKER_09: And who wins?
17:39
SPEAKER_09: Whoever gets closest to pointing north, according to Jack.
17:43
SPEAKER_09: It used to be really funny because people would be like, point like up.
17:47
SPEAKER_09: Stuff like that.
17:49
SPEAKER_14: I invented a game called uh, at least I think I invented it.
17:53
SPEAKER_14: I I didn't look it up anywhere.
17:55
SPEAKER_14: I just kind of made it up.
17:56
SPEAKER_14: So it's probably a game that exists, but I call it Who's Missing?
17:59
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
18:00
SPEAKER_14: So so I have a classroom full of kids, right?
18:03
SPEAKER_14: And so I'll line them up like um facing a wall, and I'll say, Everybody close your eyes.
18:13
SPEAKER_14: And I'm going to move you around.
18:15
SPEAKER_14: So they they kind of look at who's standing next to them, right?
18:19
SPEAKER_14: And I just spend and I have like creepy music going in the background.
18:22
SPEAKER_14: Okay.
18:23
SPEAKER_14: And I'm moving, I'm I'm kind of taken by the shoulders and I'm moving them from place to place and place, and I do it for a couple minutes, and I just move these kids all over the place in a line.
18:32
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
18:32
SPEAKER_14: And then while I'm doing that, I'll tap one on the shoulder and they'll go hide behind a cupboard.
18:38
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
18:39
SPEAKER_14: Right.
18:40
SPEAKER_14: And so I said, All right, when I tell you to turn around, so they turn around, and I said, When I say open your eyes, I'm gonna start at this end, and you have five seconds to take a look, and then you have five seconds to tell me who's missing.
18:53
SPEAKER_14: And so they open their eyes.
18:55
SPEAKER_14: First, I look at the first one and I point at them, and they look down the line five seconds.
18:59
SPEAKER_14: All right, five seconds, who's missing?
19:01
SPEAKER_14: Uh, so-and-so.
19:02
SPEAKER_14: Nope.
19:03
SPEAKER_14: Go to the next one.
19:05
SPEAKER_14: Who's missing?
19:06
SPEAKER_14: So-and-so, nope.
19:07
SPEAKER_14: So, and I go all the way down the line.
19:08
SPEAKER_14: Sometimes we make it all the way to the end.
19:10
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
19:10
SPEAKER_14: And the poor soul, they don't like nobody likes me.
19:15
SPEAKER_08: Right.
19:15
unknown: Exactly.
19:16
SPEAKER_14: But but most of the time, I get it probably not even halfway, and they'll be like, so-and-so's missing.
19:22
SPEAKER_14: Oh, yeah, yeah.
19:22
SPEAKER_14: Because the the the people on this end are like, they have more than five seconds, right?
19:27
SPEAKER_14: They're looking, oh, I know who it is.
19:29
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
19:30
SPEAKER_14: But it's one of those things where it's just it is a time killer.
19:33
SPEAKER_14: Oh, sure.
19:33
SPEAKER_14: You know, yeah.
19:34
SPEAKER_14: And uh sometimes I'll take two or three of them and send them back behind the cover.
19:39
SPEAKER_14: Like, who's missing?
19:40
SPEAKER_14: So-and-so.
19:41

38:14
SPEAKER_14: I guess with this band, he doesn't do a lot of soloing.
38:18
SPEAKER_09: Well, he he's got arthritis.
38:20
SPEAKER_14: Right.
38:21
SPEAKER_09: So I I can understand that.

38:31
SPEAKER_14: Liveson and bassist and lead songwriter Andy Curran are joined by guitar's keyboardist producer Alf Annabalini and vocalist Maya Wynne, with drums supplied by guest artist Joe Vitali.
38:44
SPEAKER_14: Um besides guitar, Liveson also adds mandola and ood to Under the Stars, uh, which features a Rugh Rush style solo part way through.

38:57
SPEAKER_14: Um you know, and I know you're a rush fanatic.
39:00
SPEAKER_09: Right.

39:10
SPEAKER_14: It was a drummer.
39:11
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
39:12
SPEAKER_14: That uh I guess he listens to a lot of like contemporary, like modern rock heavy stuff.
39:19
SPEAKER_14: And he says, Oh, you know, I know of Rush and I like Rush, and but you know, everybody keeps talking about Neil Peart, how he's like this is and so it was a s it was a drum solo, of course, if he's surrounded by his kid, obviously.
39:32
SPEAKER_14: But it's you know and you probably know the solo, but you know, he's doing like Marimba stuff, and he's doing I mean it's just amazing to watch.
39:41
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
39:41
SPEAKER_14: And I was listening to something the other day, and Rush was on, and it was like an album cut.
39:47
SPEAKER_14: It was like not like a I don't remember where I was listening to it, but Alex Lifeson's guitar parts, man, are so intricate and so just um well, I mean underrated.

1:01:20
SPEAKER_09: LOL.
1:01:21
SPEAKER_09: I'm not sure that really qualifies since it's not probably in the true spirit of mixtape.
1:01:25
SPEAKER_09: If not, I'll go with Money for Nothing by Dare Streets.
1:01:28
SPEAKER_14: Oh, is that what he's going with?

1:10:53
SPEAKER_09: In the spirit of the holiday, it's Christmas time.
1:10:56
SPEAKER_09: It's here again.
1:10:58
SPEAKER_09: Particularly for the British, the Beatles became inextricably tied up with the Christmases of the 60s.
1:11:05
SPEAKER_09: Six of their albums were released to capitalize on the Christmas market, and four of their singles were Christmas number ones.
1:11:11
SPEAKER_09: In 1963 and 1964, they presented special Christmas shows in London theaters, which were a mixture of music and panamine, and had support acts ranging from the Yardbirds to Rolf Harris.
1:11:24
SPEAKER_09: Between 1963 and 1969, they produced a flexi disc exclusively for members of their official fan club, which offered spoken greetings from each beetle and some lighthearted studio banter.
1:12:01
SPEAKER_09: Christmas time is here again.
1:12:03
SPEAKER_09: The only original song written for fan club members came out in 1967, the year that Magical Mystery Tour was being screened on Boxing Day.
1:12:12
SPEAKER_09: The unedited version, recorded on November 28th, was more than six minutes long, and parts of it were used to punctuate a satirical sketch written by all four Beatles.
1:12:23
SPEAKER_09: Although it consists largely of a single line repeated like a musical mantra.
1:12:29
SPEAKER_09: Right there.
1:12:30
SPEAKER_09: Christmas Time is here again, is illustrative of their fascination with children's songs and rhymes, which began with Yellow Submarine in 1966.
1:12:40
SPEAKER_09: This in part reflected nostalgia for the liver pool of the 40s, but it was also part of the psychedelic tendency to regress to simpler states of mind where it wasn't out of place for an adult to wear ripp jeans, blow bubbles, and think buttercups were far out.
1:12:58
SPEAKER_09: So.
1:13:28
SPEAKER_10: This is John Lennon saying on behalf of the Beatles, have a very happy Christmas, a good new year.
1:13:35
SPEAKER_10: George Hadrison speaking, I'd like to take this opportunity of wishing a very Merry Christmas listeners everywhere.
1:13:42
SPEAKER_10: This is Bingo Star, and I'd just like to say Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to all listeners.
1:13:49
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
1:13:50
SPEAKER_14: There we go.
1:13:50
SPEAKER_14: Yeah, very cool.
1:13:51
SPEAKER_14: Very cool.
1:13:52
SPEAKER_14: Um, so we failed to mention this.
1:13:56

SPEAKER_14: It's my rain stick.
1:13:59
SPEAKER_09: I like this thing.
1:14:03
SPEAKER_14: Uh since we're talking about the Beatles, I didn't want to get very far until we talked about you know, you had Freddy Mercury's or um Bohemian Rhapsody, you had the Elton John um musical biopic.
1:14:16
SPEAKER_14: Oh yeah.
1:14:17
SPEAKER_14: Whatever.
1:14:17
SPEAKER_14: Yeah.
1:14:18
SPEAKER_14: Uh and you know, a couple other ones.
1:14:20
SPEAKER_14: I think uh Shailen Woodley, do you know who that is?
1:14:22
SPEAKER_14: Nope.

SPEAKER_09: Really?
1:14:32
SPEAKER_14: Yeah, which would be interesting to see.
1:14:34
SPEAKER_14: Um they're talking about uh uh more than one, actually, biopic for the Beatles.
1:14:41
SPEAKER_14: Um while the exact details of the project have been carefully guarded, we do know that four separate films are planned, with each telling the band's story through the respective perspectives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
1:14:55
SPEAKER_09: That's interesting.
1:14:56
SPEAKER_14: It is interesting.
1:14:58
SPEAKER_14: Is Peter Jackson doing it?
1:14:59
SPEAKER_14: Uh a news release earlier this year confirmed that the movies are scheduled for release in 2027, and reports have indicated filming will begin in the summer of next year.
1:15:07
SPEAKER_14: This marks the first time the band has granted the rights to their life stories and music for a feature film.
1:15:13
SPEAKER_14: Sam Mendez, uh Academy Award-winning director, will be tasked with the challenge of bringing the Beatles to the big screen.
1:15:19
SPEAKER_14: It brings in an impressive resume with him, including American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, and Skyfall and Spectre, both James Bond movies.
1:15:27
SPEAKER_14: Um he's uh the biggest name officially tied to the project.
1:15:32
