- 2:07SPEAKER_05: Oh no, Michael Rhodes.
- 2:08SPEAKER_05: Michael Rhodes.
- 2:08SPEAKER_05: So we were let's let's here.
- 2:10SPEAKER_05: Let's just kind of segue into it.
- 2:11SPEAKER_05: So we've lost a couple of people uh over the last uh few few days, the last weekend.
- 2:18SPEAKER_05: Um Michael Rhodes, who was a fantastic bass player and was was all over um records, he's a session player.
- 2:28SPEAKER_05: He also played with Joe Bonnamasa and Joe Bonamasa's band for years and years and years.
- 2:33SPEAKER_05: Um and let's see, David Lindley, the the famed guitar player for Jackson Brown, passed away.
- 2:39SPEAKER_05: And Gary Rosington of Leonard Skinner, the last uh the last remaining original member.
- 2:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he he survived the plane crash and everything.
- 2:46SPEAKER_05: Yes, he did.
- 2:47SPEAKER_05: And uh he had a uh myriad of health problems as of late.
- 2:50SPEAKER_05: Well he was in a plane crash.
- 2:53SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 2:53SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know.
- 2:55SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 2:56SPEAKER_00: I'm sure I'm sure that there, you know.
- 2:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but I mean he had other Oh, I know.
- 3:00SPEAKER_05: Yeah, other other health issues.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: He was in a plane crash.
- 3:04unknown: Right.
- 3:06SPEAKER_05: And um so he he passed as well.
- 3:09SPEAKER_05: So, you know, rest in peace to all those.
- 3:11SPEAKER_05: But we were talking about Michael Rhodes, and I was trying to give you a little history of Michael Rhodes and how he he plays in a in a group in Nashville, kind of a super group of session players uh for for country music, and it was compr they're called the players, comprised of Eddie Bayers, who's a legendary session drummer in Nashville, Michael Rhodes on bass, Brent Mason uh on guitar.
- 3:36SPEAKER_05: So I've heard of him.
- 3:37SPEAKER_05: And um I can't remember who's on um keyboards, Greg Filingaines, maybe, I'm not sure.
- 3:43SPEAKER_05: But you said so they're kind of like the Swampers of Nashville.
- 3:50SPEAKER_05: And I said, um I guess what are swampers?
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: That's when I knew that you're some sort of like Russian agent.
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: So some oh, invasion of the body snatchers.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: That's what this is.
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: So I did see these weird lights in the sky when I came to the side.
- 4:08SPEAKER_05: Muscle Shoals has the the session players, they called them the Swampers.
- 4:14SPEAKER_05: Which I didn't know until just a few minutes ago.
- 4:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I'm a little weirded out.
- 4:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:19SPEAKER_05: But you didn't know that.
- 4:19SPEAKER_05: In the classic Leonard Skinnard song, Muscle Shoals has gotten the Swampers.
- 4:23SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 4:24SPEAKER_05: They've been known to pick a song or two.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 4:26SPEAKER_05: Uh I never put that together.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: I thought that was pretty common knowledge.
- 4:31SPEAKER_05: It may be, but like I said, I thought it was.
- 4:33SPEAKER_05: Like I said, I don't know everything.
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: I thought you did.
- 4:37SPEAKER_01: But I that weird that's why I'm weirded out because anytime I've ever had a musical question, I go, hey, who did uh who who played uh a B flat on uh B flat on you know you know Aretha Franklin's uh B side to the uh uh respect single, and you'd be like, oh no, no, it was blah blah blah blah.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: So when I said, Oh, it was like the Swampers.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: I when you said who are the Swampers, I was like, What?
- 5:05SPEAKER_00: How the freak do you not know the Swampers, dude?
- 5:08SPEAKER_05: You know everything else.
- 5:09SPEAKER_05: Well I I I knew that they they were s there were session players in Martial Souls, but I didn't know they called them the Swampers.
- 5:16SPEAKER_00: Well, that was the most famous one because before the Swampers it was the fame gang.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: So I don't know.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: But that was fame records, right?
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 5:27SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
- 5:28SPEAKER_00: And uh so Which makes which makes sense now.
- 5:30SPEAKER_05: You've just tied that.
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: But the Swampers did all like Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett.
- 5:35SPEAKER_05: You just tied that up for me.
- 5:36SPEAKER_05: So Muscle Souls has got the Swampers.
- 5:38SPEAKER_05: Now I know what that means.
- 5:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there is.
- 5:40SPEAKER_05: So thank you.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: Because they did because they uh they um uh what's his name?
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: The guy that ran Fame Records.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: Gary anyway.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: He discovered Leonard Skinner.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: Or was or was responsible for the launching.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: I think I knew that.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 5:56SPEAKER_00: So yeah, I was uh I'm a little weirded out right now, so sorry.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go home.
- 6:02SPEAKER_00: I'll see I'll see you later.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: O'Brien, if that's his real name.
- 6:07SPEAKER_05: Are you uh as loud as you should be?
- 6:10SPEAKER_05: I don't know.
- 6:10SPEAKER_05: Uh yeah, I guess you sound okay.
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 6:12SPEAKER_05: I'm just making sure.
- 6:14SPEAKER_05: Uh so we were originally gonna have a guest on tonight.
- 6:17SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 6:18SPEAKER_05: But uh he be he bailed.
- 6:20SPEAKER_05: Uh O'Brien and Doug?
- 6:22SPEAKER_05: Nope.
- 6:23SPEAKER_05: He's a loser.
- 6:24SPEAKER_05: No.
- 6:25SPEAKER_05: He sucks.
- 6:26SPEAKER_05: Actually, he's an old friend of ours.
- 6:28SPEAKER_05: Um, and I've been after him since I was working at the hospital.
- 6:32SPEAKER_05: I'd I'd been after him to be on the podcast just because you know he would be a fun interview.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: He would be.
- 6:38SPEAKER_05: Um he's let's see, he's a computer guy, but he's a drummer at heart.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Uh he played drums and he was the first person I ever knew with a cell phone.
- 6:48unknown: Yeah.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: Remember that flip phone, right?
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: He had that big flip phone and you know, you know, like took two hands and opened it.
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 6:56SPEAKER_00: He was the first person I ever knew that had a flip uh cell phone.
- 6:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah, so that got hit that you know Jared, we call him Wild Man.
- 7:04SPEAKER_05: You knowing him goes back how long?
- 7:08SPEAKER_05: Probably uh mid-90s.
- 7:11SPEAKER_05: Mid-90s, yeah.
- 7:13SPEAKER_05: Uh I've known him since kindergarten.
- 7:15SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 7:16SPEAKER_05: Uh we were in Cub Scouts together.
- 7:18SPEAKER_05: And uh Yeah.
- 7:21SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 7:22SPEAKER_05: I could tell all kinds of stories, but I'm not going to.
- 7:24SPEAKER_05: Yeah, probably not.
- 7:25SPEAKER_05: We are probably gonna we're we're hopefully gonna have him on uh uh again, but one of the reasons we're gonna have him on, I guess it wasn't a reason, um, but it was going to be kind of a nice coincidence.
- 7:36SPEAKER_05: He was a huge extreme fan.
- 7:38SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 7:39SPEAKER_05: Uh an extreme, extreme fan.
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: See what I did there?
- 7:43SPEAKER_00: That was good in The Swampers.
- 7:46SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: Uh Alex, I'll tell uh who are the Swampers?
- 7:55SPEAKER_00: You're not gonna let that one go, are you ever?
- 7:57SPEAKER_05: Nope.
- 7:58SPEAKER_01: I knew something that you didn't.
- 8:01SPEAKER_01: I knew something that you didn't.
- 8:04SPEAKER_01: I am too smart.
- 8:05SPEAKER_01: I am too smart.
- 8:10SPEAKER_05: So Extreme has a new album coming out.
- 8:13SPEAKER_05: I'm done for now.
- 8:14SPEAKER_05: And we wanted to play they released the first single.
- 8:17SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 8:17SPEAKER_05: The new album, which they they haven't been like I shouldn't say they haven't been prolific, because who do we how do we know?
- 8:26SPEAKER_05: I mean they actually I remember reading something recently that Nuno said they had uh a complete album written and they scrapped it.
- 8:35SPEAKER_05: Really?
- 8:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and and and wrote new stuff.
- 8:38SPEAKER_05: So I don't know, you know, what extent that goes, but the new album is called Six and it comes out on June 9th.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: Is it their sixth album?
- 8:47SPEAKER_00: I believe it is.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: Nice.
- 8:48SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 8:49SPEAKER_05: And it was prompted by Nuno said that when Eddie Van Halen passed, it really hit him.
- 8:54SPEAKER_05: He says, I'm not gonna be the one who will take the throne, but I felt some responsibility to keep guitar playing alive.
- 9:00SPEAKER_05: So you hear a lot of fire.
- 9:02SPEAKER_05: Fire fire on the record.
- 9:05SPEAKER_05: Fire.
- 9:05SPEAKER_05: Shut up, people.
- 9:09SPEAKER_05: Um Gary Sharon said the band remains competitive and driven.
- 9:14SPEAKER_05: Um with Extreme, there's always a lot of passion and a little piss and vinegar, he said.
- 9:19SPEAKER_05: So they're not in competition with anybody, they have nothing to prove.
- 9:22SPEAKER_05: Um I listened to the first one.
- 9:24SPEAKER_05: Did you hear the first one?
- 9:25SPEAKER_05: I haven't heard it yet.
- 9:26SPEAKER_05: You haven't heard it yet?
- 9:26SPEAKER_05: No.
- 9:27SPEAKER_05: Um because Joco messaged me and he gave me some some of his first reactions.
- 9:32SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 9:32SPEAKER_05: To um Is that Joe Co now?
- 9:34SPEAKER_05: No, it's not.
- 9:35SPEAKER_05: That's our uh Buzz Sprout Weekly update.
- 9:37SPEAKER_05: Oh.
- 9:38SPEAKER_05: Um, I'd be curious as to how many uh downloads we had last week.
- 9:41SPEAKER_05: Two.
- 9:42SPEAKER_05: Thirty-eight.
- 9:43SPEAKER_05: Thirty-eight?
- 9:43SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: That's pretty good.
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 9:45SPEAKER_05: Um so yeah, I heard I've heard the song and I like the song.
- 9:49SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 9:50SPEAKER_05: I really do.
- 9:50SPEAKER_05: Good.
- 9:51SPEAKER_05: Um The Swampers.
- 9:55SPEAKER_05: You know that's gotta be part of the title.
- 9:57SPEAKER_01: Probably.
- 9:58SPEAKER_01: Hey, did you know the swampers are the muzzle jewels?
- 10:01SPEAKER_05: No, I mean I mean of the of this episode.
- 10:04SPEAKER_05: What?
- 10:04SPEAKER_05: You gotta put some swampers in there somehow.
- 10:06SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 10:07SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 10:08SPEAKER_05: Um, so I just want to play the the song.
- 10:11SPEAKER_05: I'm not gonna tell you actually, did you read any of Joe?
- 10:14SPEAKER_05: I have read nothing and my thoughts in the thread.
- 10:16SPEAKER_05: Did you read that?
- 10:17SPEAKER_00: No, because sometimes you guys, when I if I don't recognize what's going on immediately.
- 10:21SPEAKER_00: You just ignore it?
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: We appreciate that.
- 10:24SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 10:27SPEAKER_00: See if we send you anything again.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: Reading's hard.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: So the Swampers.
- 10:33SPEAKER_05: If you So if you haven't read what we what we said about this, uh I'm not gonna say anything until you hear it for the first time.
- 10:43SPEAKER_05: All right.
- 10:43SPEAKER_05: So the first song is called Rise.
- 10:47SPEAKER_05: Uh and Ooh.
- 10:52SPEAKER_05: Nice segue.
- 12:10SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 12:11SPEAKER_00: It's not Gary, is it?
- 12:12SPEAKER_00: No, it is.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: It is.
- 12:14SPEAKER_00: Okay, right now it sounds like it.
- 12:17SPEAKER_05: I I should just read you what what we wrote.
- 12:21SPEAKER_05: I just want I want to let this play a little bit longer.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: Your thoughts.
- 14:07SPEAKER_00: I like it.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: It's everything I like about Extreme in this song.
- 14:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah?
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 14:13SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 14:14SPEAKER_05: So here's what we what Josh said.
- 14:16SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 14:17SPEAKER_05: Uh he wanted to know uh oh, actually, no, he said, uh, immediate thoughts of the new Extreme song.
- 14:25SPEAKER_05: The guitar sounds like an amp, and not necessarily like the Rack Mount pre-amp I'm more fond of, with Nuno's studio tone.
- 14:32SPEAKER_05: I think it's too woofy.
- 14:34SPEAKER_05: Plus, the guitar is mixed way too thick in some spots.
- 14:38SPEAKER_05: Now, that's that's a guitar player.
- 14:40SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 14:41SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:42SPEAKER_05: So I said, Great song.
- 14:44SPEAKER_05: Almost sounds familiar in the chorus.
- 14:47SPEAKER_05: Gary's vocals are EQ'd differently or something.
- 14:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 14:51SPEAKER_05: Aside from the obvious, which is Nuno's guitar, it doesn't sound like extreme to me.
- 14:56SPEAKER_05: You don't think so?
- 14:58SPEAKER_05: I I something about the riff and the and the and the mix.
- 15:04SPEAKER_05: I I'll admit the mix is a little different.
- 15:06SPEAKER_05: The mix and the guitar tone is is is different.
- 15:09SPEAKER_05: Now, the guitar solo, even though that guitar solo was classic Nuno.
- 15:15SPEAKER_05: It is classic Nuno.
- 15:16SPEAKER_05: Doesn't fit that song.
- 15:17SPEAKER_05: You don't think so?
- 15:18SPEAKER_05: I don't think so.
- 15:18SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 15:19SPEAKER_05: I I and again, opinions are like buttholes, right?
- 15:22SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 15:22SPEAKER_05: But but um I think they I I think it's like that because uh that's everything I like about an extreme song, really, is Nuno's guitar.
- 15:32SPEAKER_00: It's that's it's the it's the cool Nuno riff and guitar solo.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: It's Gary's vocals, and there's always melodic.
- 15:39SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 15:40SPEAKER_05: It's not a funky song.
- 15:42SPEAKER_05: It's a heavy song.
- 15:43SPEAKER_00: It is heavy, yeah.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: It's heavier than you what you expect from extreme.
- 15:48SPEAKER_05: And what is that chorus?
- 15:51SPEAKER_05: There is a pop song or something that goes, ooh, ooh.
- 15:57SPEAKER_05: It's Backstreet Boys.
- 15:59SPEAKER_05: No, it's not.
- 16:00SPEAKER_05: It's not.
- 16:01SPEAKER_05: It's not.
- 16:02SPEAKER_05: I almost think it's like like a new artist or something.
- 16:08SPEAKER_00: It didn't sound familiar to me.
- 16:09SPEAKER_05: Well, you don't listen to pop music.
- 16:11SPEAKER_05: True.
- 16:11SPEAKER_05: Good point.
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: But uh, you know, it but I mean it sounded like a it sounded like it should have been on the third album.
- 16:24SPEAKER_00: You think so?
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean the third album, it was it was a lot heavier than the third album.
- 16:30SPEAKER_00: I mean the mix I mean it was it was heavier.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the third album was um It was more the the third album was more like funkish layered.
- 16:38SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was more hard rockish, but this was more metalish.
- 16:43SPEAKER_05: If that makes any sense.
- 16:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it does.
- 16:45SPEAKER_05: Um I don't know if you so the history of their like their discography, so they had the the first album, which was um heavy and um um funky at the at the same time.
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 16:58SPEAKER_05: You know, with like uh Mother Don't Wanna Go to School Today, that was Nod to Unchained.
- 17:04SPEAKER_05: Um and uh Kid Ego, hey Kitty Ego, right?
- 17:11SPEAKER_05: Good song.
- 17:11SPEAKER_05: And then of course you have their the album that everybody compares everything to for extreme, which is Pornography.
- 17:18SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:19SPEAKER_05: Uh which was a masterpiece, in my opinion.
- 17:22SPEAKER_05: Um and then you had Three Sides to Every Story, which was the third album that you're talking about.
- 17:26SPEAKER_05: And they had they had some mellow stuff on there, they had some orchestrated stuff on there, they had some heavy stuff on there.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: They had some acoustic stuff.
- 17:33SPEAKER_05: Yep, they had some acoustic stuff as well.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:35SPEAKER_05: Um so that was kind of like uh not a concept album really, but just kind of a an experiment, I think.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was very experimental.
- 17:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 17:45SPEAKER_05: Uh and then they had what was the the fourth album?
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: I to be honest with you, I have no idea because I tuned out.
- 17:52SPEAKER_05: No, I I have oh waiting for the punchline.
- 17:54SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 17:55SPEAKER_05: Waiting for the punchline was the fourth album.
- 17:57SPEAKER_05: I think if I if I have the order correct, uh I'm pretty sure Waiting for the Punchline was the fourth album, and they stripped everything back.
- 18:07SPEAKER_05: Um as far as like effects, and they just kind of went like recorded raw and everything.
- 18:16SPEAKER_05: And I mean it was like where is it here?
- 18:19SPEAKER_05: Let me play you something from Waiting for the Punchline.
- 18:22SPEAKER_05: Well, um this one is this one is released from the album, so I don't know if you'll recognize this or not, but yep.
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: Hip today.
- 18:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know the song.
- 18:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 18:39SPEAKER_00: Um it's on their greatest hits.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: Yep.

- 46:18SPEAKER_05: And I don't know.
- 46:22SPEAKER_05: I have such a hard time with this.
- 46:25SPEAKER_05: Because um I don't think of them as legends if they're still um well.
- 46:37SPEAKER_05: I mean, Alan Jackson I would consider a legend.
- 46:40SPEAKER_05: And he's he's putting out music but sporadically.
- 46:43SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 46:43SPEAKER_05: You know, but he's still working.
- 46:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:45SPEAKER_05: Um same with this guy.

- 46:50SPEAKER_05: No, Shania Twain was uh Was she a different letter?
- 46:54SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we we we we did Shania, I think, because we said it was really stupid that Oh, she was like a middle letter or something like that?
- 47:02SPEAKER_00: Um like the I.
- 47:03SPEAKER_00: Was it I?
- 47:04SPEAKER_05: Hold on, hold on.
- 47:07SPEAKER_05: Was it I?
- 47:08SPEAKER_05: I don't remember.
- 47:13SPEAKER_05: Yes, it was I for Shania.
- 47:16SPEAKER_05: Shanaya! So stupid.
- 47:18SPEAKER_05: Uh so uh any guesses as to what T would be?
- 47:22SPEAKER_05: Conway Twitty.
- 47:23SPEAKER_05: No, first name.
- 47:24SPEAKER_05: Oh, first name?

- 47:31SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 47:35SPEAKER_05: T.

- 48:02SPEAKER_00: He's been doing TV and movies and being a Hollywood guy.
- 48:07SPEAKER_00: I totally forgot he was country.
- 48:09SPEAKER_05: Uh let's see.
- 48:10SPEAKER_05: His yeah, because he did do that um that movie or or that series with his wife uh 1883.

- 48:57SPEAKER_05: But I want to see when his last album came out.
- 49:01SPEAKER_05: And I don't think it was that long ago.
- 49:04SPEAKER_03: Um discography.
- 49:14SPEAKER_05: Um, oh, was that his last album?
- 49:17SPEAKER_05: Here on Earth, which was 2020.

- 49:30SPEAKER_05: And would you consider her a legend?
- 49:32SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't think it's sorta kinda.

- 1:05:50SPEAKER_05: This one better off with the blues.
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_05: There it is, it's hard.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_05: Since you've been gone, I had time to myself Haven't even tried to find somebody When you told me you were leaving You know it almost came as good dude It may sound funny but it's true I think I better talk with the blue Does have some great folk down ballads as well Sending me Angels is great Stood on the shore Seemed like the devil's always tryna get in my door And just when I thought I couldn't take anymore Here we came again my friend He keeps sending me angels from up on Hyde I put him in the same not as a songwriter But I put him in the same vein as John Hyatt.
- 1:07:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah I was just gonna say it's very Hyatt-ish.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_05: Yep Yeah Yeah I mean he is a songwriter, he's a great songwriter, but but he does a lot of covers and stuff.
- 1:07:23SPEAKER_05: What I mean is I think Hyatt is a more prolific songwriter?
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:07:31SPEAKER_05: But Delvin McClinton's is right up there in the same category.
- 1:07:38SPEAKER_07: Face to the wind.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_05: Um but I you know I I just counted.
- 1:07:41SPEAKER_05: I've got uh five of his, I think.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_05: Five, five, uh I've got five albums, but I've got also got a best of, so I guess six.
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_05: So uh just awesome.
- 1:07:51SPEAKER_05: What is that?
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_05: Another one here, let's see.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_05: Um this one was done by Garth Brooks and his wife, Trisha.
- 1:08:05SPEAKER_05: And this was written by Delbert.
- 1:08:08SPEAKER_07: I now know you got a good job.
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_07: You're after making all of that dough.
- 1:08:14SPEAKER_07: This is from a different album.
- 1:08:15SPEAKER_07: Over time, I don't ever see you no more.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_07: I guess you're not checking your message.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_07: I got a hunch if we can just do lunch, I can get your attention.
- 1:08:29SPEAKER_07: I know you got your schedule and you're keeping it tight.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_07: I got something I know you gon' like.
- 1:08:43SPEAKER_05: Hey, we were just talking about John Hyatt.
- 1:08:47SPEAKER_00: Oh, a little faith.
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_05: Yeah, this is off his album, never been rocked enough from 92.
- 1:08:53SPEAKER_05: And this is not as good as John Hyatt's.
- 1:08:55SPEAKER_05: I love Delbert McClinton, but come on.
- 1:09:03SPEAKER_05: Actually, hit his phrasing is completely different than John Hyatt's.
- 1:09:06SPEAKER_07: Yeah, just when the road gets dark and you can no longer see what you're saying.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_05: It's still good, yeah.
- 1:09:22SPEAKER_07: Just let my love through spark me have a little faith in me and when the tears you cry are all you can believe.
- 1:09:47SPEAKER_07: Just give these loving arms a try, baby, and have a little faith in me.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_07: Have a little faith in me.
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_05: So yeah.
- 1:10:04SPEAKER_05: Delbert McClint.
- 1:10:05SPEAKER_00: That was always that's always an interesting piano part in that song.
- 1:10:09SPEAKER_00: Because it sounds just like one note over and over and over again.
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you know, it's deceiving.
- 1:10:14SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:10:15SPEAKER_05: It's actually two notes.
- 1:10:16SPEAKER_05: Yeah, he's playing that as he's doing some.
- 1:10:19SPEAKER_00: But if you're not paying attention, you just think it's one note.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:10:21SPEAKER_00: It's like he's hitting it over and over and over and over and over again.
- 1:10:24SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:10:25SPEAKER_00: But uh yeah, it's a I like that.
- 1:10:27SPEAKER_05: We were talking about uh Murray Head, and it got me thinking about this guy, and I just wanted to throw this in there just because I hadn't heard it in a long time.
- 1:10:36SPEAKER_05: Falco?
- 1:10:38SPEAKER_05: Are you really playing Falco?
- 1:10:40SPEAKER_00: How did you know?
- 1:10:41SPEAKER_00: Are you serious?
- 1:10:43SPEAKER_00: You can't see this over there, can you?
- 1:10:45SPEAKER_00: No.
- 1:10:46SPEAKER_00: But you said uh what's that sound?
- 1:10:49SPEAKER_05: It's the it's the it's it's the video.
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_05: It's an old it's it looks like Rock Meowadeus?
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_05: Yes, it looks like it's on VHS.
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_05: Somebody put it on YouTube from looks like VHS, yeah.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_06: Rock Meowadeus.
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_05: There was a time not long ago that we were gonna do this song.
- 1:11:13SPEAKER_05: Like a rock version of this song.
- 1:11:14SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 1:11:15SPEAKER_00: We talked about it.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_00: I think we still could.
- 1:11:18SPEAKER_00: We probably could.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_00: My favorite Falco song, though, is Vienna Calling.
- 1:11:24SPEAKER_05: I'm pretty sure I've heard that one.
- 1:11:27SPEAKER_05: Wait, let's get to the chorus of this one.
- 1:12:10SPEAKER_00: I don't think he's still with us.
- 1:12:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he is.
- 1:12:13SPEAKER_00: I thought he passed away.
- 1:12:18SPEAKER_05: And we have the technology.
- 1:12:28SPEAKER_05: It does say he was an Austrian singer and musician.
- 1:12:35SPEAKER_05: Yeah, it was because of the still recording.
- 1:12:37SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 1:12:41SPEAKER_00: Died 1998.
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_00: So he did pass away.
- 1:12:44SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's too bad.
- 1:12:46SPEAKER_00: I did not know that.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_00: No, but my favorite Valco Falco song is uh Vienna Collin.
- 1:12:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there he is.
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_05: Oh, I remember it now.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_09: Hello, hello, hello, hello.
- 1:13:00SPEAKER_01: Hello.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_00: I always liked it because he'd sing the verses in German and then the choruses in English.
- 1:13:20SPEAKER_00: We've got to get on American radio.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_00: Who cares?
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_00: That's right.
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_00: I mean it didn't matter.
- 1:13:39SPEAKER_08: Oh be at the card Uh-oh.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_08: Uh-oh.
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_05: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:13:55SPEAKER_05: You said one night in Bangkok, Murray Head, and I thought of Falco.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_05: Oh yeah.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_05: I'm not sure why.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't because it's that quirky 80s, you know.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:14:03SPEAKER_00: You know.
- 1:14:03SPEAKER_00: Yep.

- 1:15:12SPEAKER_00: It's like it's like finding out your childhood hero is a jerk.
- 1:15:17SPEAKER_00: Like you like like you wanted to meet Knight Rider.
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_00: You know?
- 1:15:21SPEAKER_00: And you were a kid and you meet him and he he's a total jerky, and you're like, oh.

- 1:15:34SPEAKER_00: You know?

- 1:15:59SPEAKER_05: Did you know that Separate Ways by Journey was written on a cheap keyboard in a hotel room?
- 1:16:05SPEAKER_00: Well, it's probably that keyboard they have in the video.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_00: That's nailed to the wall of the warehouse.
- 1:16:11SPEAKER_05: I just read that somewhere.
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_05: Oh, didn't you?
- 1:16:12SPEAKER_05: Actually, Professor Rock had a thing on it.

- 1:16:20SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 1:16:21SPEAKER_00: I love it, but it's so bad.
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_00: It is.
- 1:16:23SPEAKER_00: It's even worse than breaking the chains from docking.
- 1:16:25SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 1:16:25SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's just so terrible.
- 1:16:28SPEAKER_05: Yeah, if you get a chance, go watch Journey Separate Ways.
- 1:16:30SPEAKER_05: If you want to laugh.
- 1:16:31SPEAKER_00: Remember that family that recreated it though during the pandemic?
- 1:16:35SPEAKER_00: It was fantastic, man.
