- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Hi, this is Gary Peele from Alliance and Boston, and you're watching CMS-TV.
- 0:05[music]
- 0:20SPEAKER_01: So aside from all your work, anything going on with you this week?
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: It's a busy week.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: I had, you know, I definitely had worky stuff.
- 0:30SPEAKER_00: I did, I think, four interviews this week.
- 0:33SPEAKER_00: I interviewed Ross Valerie again.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: That was pretty cool.
- 0:36SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
- 0:37SPEAKER_01: Is he still bitter?
- 0:39SPEAKER_00: I like Ross.
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: it's funny because,
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 0:43SPEAKER_00: you interview somebody like that that has You know,
- 0:46SPEAKER_00: been around
- 0:47SPEAKER_03: the world a zillion times and,
- 0:50SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 0:50SPEAKER_03: had success on
- 0:51SPEAKER_00: that very limited,
- 0:53SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: there's maybe 10 people you can or 10 bands you can interview in the entire world
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: that have had that kind of success.
- 1:01SPEAKER_00: And you think that the guy's just running through the motions.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: You just expect he's going to come on and go, hey, how are you?
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: And he doesn't have any clue that you talked to him like a year ago or whatever.
- 1:13SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
- 1:14SPEAKER_00: He comes on and he's like, hello, Chris, round two, right?
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: And I was like, yes, sir, let's do it.
- 1:23SPEAKER_00: And he remembered the last interview, which was cool.
- 1:27SPEAKER_01: Well, that was great.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: I mean, I feel bad for Ross because he got booted from the band twice.
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he did.
- 1:34SPEAKER_00: And, but he was in the band at the right time.
- 1:39SPEAKER_03: I mean, dude, he was in the band at Don't Stop Believin' Frontiers era.
- 1:44SPEAKER_03: Well, that's the right time to be in Journey.
- 1:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, I mean,
- 1:48SPEAKER_01: he was one of the,
- 1:49SPEAKER_01: I don't know if he's a founding member or one of the original members.
- 1:52SPEAKER_01: He is one of the original members.
- 1:54SPEAKER_03: I think he's one of the original guys.
- 1:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but he got booted twice.
- 1:58SPEAKER_01: He got booted on the radio era, and then he got booted again, you know, the second time around.
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: You know, ironically, though.
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: Neither era was that successful.
- 2:09SPEAKER_01: Well, but the thing is, is that that was a loss of your livelihood.
- 2:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, well, again, he was in there in the real years,
- 2:20SPEAKER_03: in the years that I'm sure still put $10,000 to $50,000 checks a couple of times
- 2:27SPEAKER_03: a year in his mailbox.
- 2:29SPEAKER_01: Well, I hope it's more than that.
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Well, whatever it is, I'm sure, look, He was doing this interview from his studio in his house,
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: and it looks better than the green screen studio I have
- 2:42SPEAKER_03: behind me.
- 2:42SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 2:43SPEAKER_03: I mean, he's not broke.
- 2:46SPEAKER_03: No, it's not.
- 2:47SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 2:47SPEAKER_03: It's amazing.
- 2:50SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he is an original guy.
- 2:52SPEAKER_00: He's played on the very first Journey Journey record.
- 2:56SPEAKER_01: I sure hope he has some of that Journey money left.
- 2:59SPEAKER_01: I'm sure he has plenty.
- 3:01SPEAKER_01: Well, you say that, but we know how some of these guys live.
- 3:04SPEAKER_01: They make a lot of bad decisions.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 3:09SPEAKER_01: Talking to him?
- 3:10SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying he did.
- 3:12SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying a lot of musicians.
- 3:14SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I know a lot of those guys do.
- 3:17SPEAKER_03: I don't get the impression he does just because he talks.
- 3:23SPEAKER_03: Just talking to him, he's like, You know, I'm bored at home.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: I want to go play.
- 3:29SPEAKER_03: You know, he wants to play.
- 3:31SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, dude, you've done it.
- 3:33SPEAKER_03: And he's like, still got more to do.
- 3:36SPEAKER_03: So I don't think he's that guy that's out blowing money on cars or houses or any of that shit.
- 3:43SPEAKER_03: I think he's one of those guys that's like looking for any opportunity to go play again.
- 3:48SPEAKER_01: Well, I hope he's not one of those guys who had to have multiple divorces.
- 3:53SPEAKER_03: Well, you never know on that level.
- 3:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 3:55SPEAKER_01: I just never understand that.
- 3:58SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: I'm on my fourth wife.
- 4:00SPEAKER_03: It's like, it doesn't, what are you doing on wiki?
- 4:04SPEAKER_03: It does not list any, any wives at all.
- 4:07SPEAKER_03: So maybe it was smart and didn't get any wives.
- 4:11SPEAKER_03: Maybe that would be the smartest,
- 4:16SPEAKER_03: but yeah, he's been in some bands though, man, even outside of journey.
- 4:19SPEAKER_03: I mean, he was in Todd Rundgren.
- 4:20SPEAKER_03: He was in Steve Miller.
- 4:22SPEAKER_03: He was in the storm.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: I think Santana maybe, the early versions of Santana.
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's been in some stuff, man.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: But yeah, he was cool.
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: He was good.
- 4:35SPEAKER_00: Honestly,
- 4:36SPEAKER_00: the biggest thing that I did this week is getting ready for,
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: I'm really going to be stepping outside of my quote-unquote comfort zone this week
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: on whatever day,
- 4:49SPEAKER_03: I think Thursday.
- 4:51SPEAKER_03: I'm doing an in-person interview out at Audio Bay with,
- 4:58SPEAKER_03: do you remember,
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: you probably remember this,
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: not all the fans will know it, unless they're true crime people.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: Do you remember the murder of Amy Mihaljevic in Bay Village in the late 80s?
- 5:11SPEAKER_00: She was like a 10-year-old kid.
- 5:12SPEAKER_01: Do you know that
- 5:14SPEAKER_03: name or no?
- 5:15SPEAKER_01: No, I was living in California at the time.
- 5:18SPEAKER_01: Same.
- 5:18SPEAKER_03: I wasn't here either, so I didn't know much about it either.
- 5:21SPEAKER_03: But it's around here.
- 5:26SPEAKER_03: God, everybody I've mentioned to is like, holy shit, really?
- 5:30SPEAKER_03: Around here, it's a huge deal.
- 5:32SPEAKER_03: And I'm actually interviewing Amy's dad in person on Thursday
- 5:41SPEAKER_03: because I guess there's some kind of,
- 5:43SPEAKER_03: And again, I'm still doing my research, so I'm getting ready for it.
- 5:47SPEAKER_03: But apparently there's some new evidence,
- 5:51SPEAKER_03: but it's not being checked because there's not enough money for the advanced DNA
- 5:56SPEAKER_03: or something, something, something.
- 5:58SPEAKER_03: So I was asked if I would do this interview and put it out there so
- 6:03SPEAKER_03: that he can get his voice out there for that.
- 6:07SPEAKER_03: But that's very outside of my comfort zone.
- 6:10SPEAKER_03: There's no ha-has for me to make in this one.
- 6:13SPEAKER_01: So this is an unsolved murder?
- 6:15SPEAKER_03: Yes.
- 6:16SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 6:17SPEAKER_03: After 35, I think it was in 88.
- 6:21SPEAKER_03: Okay.
- 6:22SPEAKER_03: It was in 88 and it's still unsolved and they've got DNA
- 6:27SPEAKER_03: and they've got physical evidence and they've got the body or the bones or whatever.
- 6:32SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 6:33SPEAKER_03: So yeah.
- 6:35SPEAKER_03: But yeah,
- 6:35SPEAKER_03: I'm going out there doing an in-person one-on-one interview for that,
- 6:40SPEAKER_03: which is going to be I don't want to say fun, but interesting to say the least.
- 6:45SPEAKER_00: Well, who is this for?
- 6:48SPEAKER_00: I'm going to use it for Chris Akin Presents.
- 6:50SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm going to put it out under.
- 6:52SPEAKER_01: So how did you stumble on this opportunity?
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: One of the owners of The Crunch, Amy, is his stepsister.
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: So he asked me if I could help out.
- 7:09SPEAKER_00: And I was like, whatever you need, you know.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: Sure.
- 7:13SPEAKER_00: And he's like, would you do a podcast with my dad?
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: And I was like, yeah, sure.
- 7:20SPEAKER_03: You know, and so then we arranged, got set up, found a time, and now we're going to do it.
- 7:25SPEAKER_03: So that's how it came to be.
- 7:27SPEAKER_01: I gotcha.
- 7:28SPEAKER_01: So is this a kind of a fundraising thing or what?
- 7:35SPEAKER_00: I think so.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure if there's a GoFundMe or there's some sort.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: Again, I have to have a call on Monday just to make sure that I know what they need.
- 7:47SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 7:50SPEAKER_00: And I'll figure it out.
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: And you know, man.
- 7:53SPEAKER_00: I know I'm putting it into my own head to where it's really making me nuts.
- 7:58SPEAKER_00: And then I'll get in front of him and I'll be fine.
- 8:01SPEAKER_03: Because if I'm good at anything, it's talking.
- 8:04SPEAKER_03: So I'm sure once I get in front of him, I'll be able to figure it all out.
- 8:10SPEAKER_03: But I literally have a list of like 75 questions.
- 8:14SPEAKER_03: And now I'm taking the 75 questions that I've written down.
- 8:20SPEAKER_03: Like today, I watched four different documentaries on this.
- 8:23SPEAKER_03: Just...
- 8:24SPEAKER_03: So I could try and figure out, well,
- 8:25SPEAKER_03: this has already been asked and this is,
- 8:27SPEAKER_03: you know, because I don't want to waste the guy's time either.
- 8:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you don't want to just ask the same questions that have been asked a million times.
- 8:34SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't want to be one of these TikTok dicks,
- 8:37SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 8:38SPEAKER_03: oh, this is amazing and we can find us, you know, I don't want to be that guy.
- 8:42SPEAKER_03: I just want to kind of get to what we need to get to today to help today.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: Because talking about the last 35 years of this probably doesn't help him much.
- 8:53SPEAKER_00: Fair.
- 8:54SPEAKER_00: You know, so it'll be interesting.
- 8:57SPEAKER_00: I'm going into this the same way I went into like with Freeway Rick Ross,
- 9:02SPEAKER_00: where it's like making sure that
- 9:03SPEAKER_03: I'm way, way,
- 9:05SPEAKER_03: way knowledgeable on the topic so that anything he throws at me is not a curveball,
- 9:11SPEAKER_01: you know, so...
- 9:14SPEAKER_01: So I don't expect that there will be a question like, so your daughter was murdered.
- 9:18SPEAKER_01: What's that like?
- 9:19SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: How'd that feel?
- 9:21SPEAKER_01: No, probably not.
- 9:23SPEAKER_01: No, you won't just ask, well, what's that like?
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 9:26SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think so.
- 9:28SPEAKER_00: Do you think if she'd lived, she'd be on OnlyFans?
- 9:31SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think I'll be asking that either.
- 9:32SPEAKER_01: Oh, you won't be asking that either?
- 9:34SPEAKER_03: No, probably not.
- 9:37SPEAKER_03: Probably not.
- 9:37SPEAKER_03: I'm going to take it, you know, serious and try and do a good job and,
- 9:42SPEAKER_00: you know.
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: And we'll see.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean,
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: as I've said a zillion times on this show,
- 9:49SPEAKER_00: I am a absolute, I don't want to say fan, but watcher of true crime.
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: I watch it constantly.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: And, you know, now I've got a chance to dip my toe into it a little bit.
- 10:01SPEAKER_00: And I don't think that's unusual to anybody who listens to this show to think
- 10:05SPEAKER_00: of me trying something different.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: So, you know,
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: I'm going to try that and Well,
- 10:09SPEAKER_01: it's always fun to come at,
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 10:12SPEAKER_01: an interview using your interview skills coming from a different angle or
- 10:16SPEAKER_01: a different, you know, genre or subject matter or whatever the case may be.
- 10:21SPEAKER_02: Hey, metalheads, tired of waiting for new episodes?
- 10:24SPEAKER_02: Crave the real raw classic metal show?
- 10:27SPEAKER_02: For just $4.99 a month, you can become a CMS VIP.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: You get every episode a full week early,
- 10:33SPEAKER_02: completely uncensored and 100% commercial Nothing wrong with that.
- 10:38SPEAKER_02: No, not at all.
- 10:39SPEAKER_02: And I'll be plenty warmed up,
- 10:40SPEAKER_02: because I have, this week, one, two, three, four, that would be five,
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: And this would be six.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: I have six interviews coming up this week.
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: Well,
- 11:14SPEAKER_01: there was a short time there where you kind of laid off the interviews for a little
- 11:19SPEAKER_01: while and kind of freed up a little bit of your schedule.
- 11:22SPEAKER_01: But it sounds like you're steamrolling back into it.
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: I'm filling it up, and I'm filling it up with some good ones.
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: I got Grandmaster Flash on Monday.
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: That's going to be kick-ass.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: I got Matt Sorum coming up.
- 11:35SPEAKER_00: That's going to be good.
- 11:37SPEAKER_00: Believe it or not, I've never interviewed Matt Sorum.
- 11:40SPEAKER_00: I met Matt Sorum once.
- 11:41SPEAKER_00: I've met him once too,
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: but I've never interviewed him, so I'm looking forward to chatting with him.
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: Well, make sure you
- 11:47SPEAKER_01: get an ID from him.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: I'll get one, yeah.
- 11:50SPEAKER_00: I've been getting them.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: I got one today for you.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 11:53SPEAKER_00: You'll probably use it once more in the history of the show,
- 11:56SPEAKER_00: but I got one from Igor Cavalera for Nail Bomb.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: Because Nail Bomb is going out on tour.
- 12:04SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: So I was chatting with Igor today,
- 12:08SPEAKER_03: and I got a CMS ID for the show,
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: but I didn't do any of the editing,
- 12:12SPEAKER_03: so I'll send it to you probably tomorrow or Monday or whatever.
- 12:15SPEAKER_03: But, you know, let's look at Fuego
- 12:19SPEAKER_00: Grandmaster Flash.
- 12:20SPEAKER_00: Seriously?
- 12:20SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: I love rap music.
- 12:25SPEAKER_00: I'm all in.
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: Someone can offer me that.
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: Anybody in the Hall of Fame, as much as I think that building is a bag of shit, I'm doing it.
- 12:34SPEAKER_00: That's a big name.
- 12:35SPEAKER_00: Grandmaster Flash.
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: Fuck yeah.
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: I'm all about it.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: He's got to be how old?
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: 70?
- 12:42SPEAKER_00: Grandmaster Flash?
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: Let's find out.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 12:46SPEAKER_03: Grandmaster Flash.
- 12:48SPEAKER_03: He's got to be then because he had albums out when I was like 10.
- 12:54SPEAKER_03: 69.
- 12:55SPEAKER_01: Yeah, see, I was close.
- 12:56SPEAKER_01: I said 70.
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I will be talking to the Grandmaster.
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: How about that?
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: That pretty much closes the circle for me.
- 13:07SPEAKER_00: I've talked to LL,
- 13:10SPEAKER_00: I've talked to Ice Cube,
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: I've talked to Chuck D and Flavor Flav,
- 13:16SPEAKER_00: and
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: Run DMC, Daniel McDaniels, Daryl McDaniel, and now Grandmaster Flash.
- 13:27SPEAKER_00: All of my 80s stuff.
- 13:28SPEAKER_00: If I can find a Sugarhill Gang guy, I'm good.
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: So will you be breaking out a big piece of cardboard, doing some break dancing or anything?
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: I might sing Girls Love the Way She Spins to him.
- 13:42SPEAKER_00: I might just have to sing.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
- 13:47SPEAKER_00: Nah, I'm excited about
- 13:48SPEAKER_03: that one.
- 13:49SPEAKER_03: That's going to be fun.
- 13:51SPEAKER_03: I have all my fun haha ones out now.
- 13:54SPEAKER_03: And then when I get to Thursday, I'll be done being serious.
- 13:57SPEAKER_03: I'll be into serious mode.
- 13:58SPEAKER_03: I'll be like, how are we?
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: You know?
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: So, but yeah, so,
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: busy week,
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: busy week coming up,
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: dude, I'm doing something I have not done in 30, at least 30 years, if not more.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: I am going for the first on Friday.
- 14:18SPEAKER_00: I am going for the first time, like I said, in three decades.
- 14:24SPEAKER_00: To a doctor, to a primary care physician, just for a checkup.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: What?
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: I have not been to a doctor for a checkup since I was in my 20s.
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: I just never go,
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: I never go, and the only time I do go, it's, you know, to the emergency room.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean,
- 14:45SPEAKER_00: I've been to the Minute
- 14:45SPEAKER_03: Clinic a few times,
- 14:47SPEAKER_03: but yeah,
- 14:48SPEAKER_03: I finally,
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: at long last,
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: another thing I got finally done this week,
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: I finally got my And I say finally, but it's my fault.
- 14:56SPEAKER_03: I don't want to be blaming the government on this one,
- 14:58SPEAKER_03: but I finally got my VA benefits together.
- 15:04SPEAKER_03: At long last, I got my VA shit approved.
- 15:08SPEAKER_03: But in order to do anything with the VA medical, you have to get a physical.
- 15:14SPEAKER_03: So I can't wait to be told all the fun things he's going to tell me.
- 15:20SPEAKER_00: Son, you're going to have to stop eating entirely.
- 15:23SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: My blood should be good, though.
- 15:26SPEAKER_00: I'm on day 14 of the fasting, and I feel good, and, you know, I feel great, really.
- 15:34SPEAKER_00: Honestly,
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: it's amazing how two weeks of not putting...
- 15:37SPEAKER_01: You're getting all the garbage out of your system.
- 15:39SPEAKER_03: And it is amazing how much better you feel that fast.
- 15:44SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: I mean, I felt like dog shit the first week.
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: Last week, I was feeling okay with...
- 15:50SPEAKER_00: When we did the show last week, that was like the first day that I felt okay.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: I feel great now, man.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: I feel really, really good.
- 15:59SPEAKER_00: So day 14, sticking to it.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to.
- 16:02SPEAKER_00: And really the only cheat that I have in the whole entire thing is that I put
- 16:08SPEAKER_00: a splash of creamer in my coffee because
- 16:11SPEAKER_03: I just can't do the black coffee.
- 16:14SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 16:14SPEAKER_03: I've tried.
- 16:15SPEAKER_03: I tried and tried and it just.
- 16:18SPEAKER_03: It's just like drinking cat piss.
- 16:20SPEAKER_03: It's awful.
- 16:22SPEAKER_03: Have you ever drank cat piss?
- 16:24SPEAKER_03: I haven't drank it, but I've had a cat piss and get in my fucking face.
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: You know, it's horrible.
- 16:31SPEAKER_03: This coffee tastes like cat piss.
- 16:33SPEAKER_03: Yes, exactly.
- 16:35SPEAKER_03: It's sad that I know that, but as I'm sure you remember, the ex was a big cat person.
- 16:42SPEAKER_03: There was a lot of times it was like pick up the cat to move it and pick up the cat
- 16:45SPEAKER_03: and just one time.
- 16:48SPEAKER_03: Picked up the cat.
- 16:49SPEAKER_03: Oh, you fucking thing.
- 16:52SPEAKER_03: I'm going to go run you over, you fuck.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: Put you in a bag, put a rock in it, and sink in a pool.
- 16:59SPEAKER_03: I couldn't have animals in my house.
- 17:01SPEAKER_03: And cats are the worst.
- 17:03SPEAKER_03: No way.
- 17:04SPEAKER_03: Cats are the worst.
- 17:06SPEAKER_03: I don't care.
- 17:06SPEAKER_03: I know a lot of people complain about dogs because they bark and all that shit.
- 17:09SPEAKER_03: Cats are way worse.
- 17:11SPEAKER_03: Because they don't do anything.
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: They're literally a throw rug that leaves fucking lint and shit everywhere.
- 17:18SPEAKER_01: Fur.
- 17:20SPEAKER_01: I couldn't even imagine leaving the house covered in animal fur.
- 17:25SPEAKER_00: And then people justify this fucking wide open box of shit that they let's fester
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: for three days at a time before they clean it up or whatever.
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: It's like.
- 17:36SPEAKER_00: I used to argue with Georgetta about that all the time.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: She'd be like, you know, yipping about getting another cat or whatever.
- 17:43SPEAKER_00: And I was like, we got a fucking toilet that doesn't get flushed right there.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: Every time we walk in that room, we got to smell cat shit.
- 17:51SPEAKER_00: It's like, this is the fucking worst.
- 17:53SPEAKER_00: I was like, what if I start just not flushing the toilet, but once every three fucking days?
- 17:59SPEAKER_00: Would you live with me?
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: No, you'd throw me right the fuck out.
- 18:04SPEAKER_00: You would throw me right the fuck out.
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: But with a cat, oh, well, they look cute when they're covering it with litter.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: Cats are just fucking human rugs.
- 18:18SPEAKER_03: They suck.
- 18:20SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 18:21SPEAKER_01: Not my thing.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: Nope.
- 18:24SPEAKER_03: Me either.
- 18:26SPEAKER_03: I'll never have another pet.
- 18:28SPEAKER_03: Never, never.
- 18:34SPEAKER_00: So anyway, that's my upcoming week.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: That's my last week.
- 18:38SPEAKER_00: Not a whole lot else.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: I do want to share one thing.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 18:43SPEAKER_00: If you'll indulge me a little bit, because this involves one of our listeners.
- 18:48SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 18:49SPEAKER_00: Shelly Rocks.
- 18:50SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: So I think it was Sunday.
- 18:53SPEAKER_00: It might have been Monday.
- 18:56SPEAKER_03: Shelly sends me a link to a band.
- 19:01SPEAKER_03: Called Electric Cowboy, I think.
- 19:04SPEAKER_03: C-A-L-L-B-O-Y.
- 19:05SPEAKER_03: That's either Cowboy or Cowboy or something.
- 19:08SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 19:09SPEAKER_00: I really didn't know anything about them.
- 19:10SPEAKER_00: I've seen the name around, but I didn't know.
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: In my brain, they're like Ramstein, I guess, where they're over there, so I don't care.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: And I've seen the name, and I've never really paid no attention to this, right?
- 19:23SPEAKER_03: So I watched the video.
- 19:27SPEAKER_03: In fact, I'm going to show you the video.
- 19:28SPEAKER_03: I'll just show it.
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: We're going to do things a little goofy tonight.
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: We'll actually do a topic here in the first segment, and then I'll tell you why this was funny.
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: So she sends me this.
- 19:41SPEAKER_00: This is the video she sends me, and she's like, I know you like stuff that's a little weird.
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: I think you'll like this.
- 19:48SPEAKER_03: I was like, all right.
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: So here we go.
- 19:52SPEAKER_00: Here's the video for The Way You Are from Electric Cowboy.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: Now...
- 20:01SPEAKER_00: When you start seeing it, you'll see.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: It shows you one thing, but it goes somewhere different, really in a hurry.
- 20:07SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 20:08SPEAKER_00: Watch this.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling it.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: Little Backstreet Boys thing.
- 20:25SPEAKER_02: When I look into your eyes, I want to give you all tonight.
- 20:31SPEAKER_03: Gay guys having a little dinner.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 20:35SPEAKER_02: You're digging it, right?
- 20:38SPEAKER_02: Hold on.
- 20:40SPEAKER_02: Don't judge it quite yet.
- 21:05SPEAKER_02: I just love the way you are.
- 21:09SPEAKER_02: When you pull me into pieces I just love the way you are.
- 21:40SPEAKER_01: Anyway, you get the picture.
- 21:41SPEAKER_01: It's kind of like the transition in the movie from dusk till dawn.
- 21:46SPEAKER_01: You've got hot chicks dancing and all of a sudden everybody turns into blood-sucking vampires.
- 21:54SPEAKER_03: I mean, that is a hard turn, man.
- 21:59SPEAKER_03: Backstreet Boys to Straight Up Murder Metal.
- 22:03SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's just like, can you guys gay it up in a video for just like about two minutes?
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: Well, the funny thing is, this is what these guys do.
- 22:15SPEAKER_00: This is their sound.
- 22:17SPEAKER_00: Is those...
- 22:19SPEAKER_00: The contrast between the two.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: And they're big time popular in Europe.
- 22:26SPEAKER_03: This video here has like 1.5 million views on it.
- 22:29SPEAKER_01: I think it's like a
- 22:30SPEAKER_03: month old.
- 22:31SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but it's the novelty of it, I think.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe,
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: but I mean,
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: they've been doing it now for, I think, seven, eight years at this point.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 22:43SPEAKER_00: It is a popular band in Europe.
- 22:46SPEAKER_00: But I just wasn't ready for this.
- 22:50SPEAKER_00: This comes up.
- 22:53SPEAKER_03: So let me tell you why this is funny.
- 22:55SPEAKER_03: So you know this,
- 22:57SPEAKER_03: the audience does it,
- 22:58SPEAKER_03: but I've been kicking it a little bit with a girl that I used to know.
- 23:04SPEAKER_03: And to be clear, we're just kind of playing getting to know you again.
- 23:11SPEAKER_03: And we're texting a lot and calling a little bit or whatever.
- 23:15SPEAKER_03: And, um, you know, one of the things that we're talking about is music.
- 23:19SPEAKER_03: Cause when I knew her back in the day,
- 23:22SPEAKER_03: it was like,
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: we were,
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: that was one of the things that we did a lot was hung out and we're,
- 23:27SPEAKER_03: we're into different music.
- 23:28SPEAKER_03: And she's very much like me as far as she's good with rap or metal or rock,
- 23:35SPEAKER_03: or even like Gregorian chanting and all like, she's way even more than me.
- 23:40SPEAKER_01: She's open-minded.
- 23:42SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 23:43SPEAKER_01: She's got a varied taste.
- 23:46SPEAKER_00: So we were, you know, she's been throwing me, hey, what do you think of this?
- 23:51SPEAKER_00: And what do you think of that?
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: So after I watched this video, I was like, all right, let's see.
- 23:56SPEAKER_00: Let's see how much you could deal with me.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: And I threw her this video.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: And she texts me like we were, I threw it to her in a text and she texts back right away.
- 24:06SPEAKER_00: She's like, ah, this is like the backstreet.
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: And it's literally, this is like the backstreet.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: What the fuck is this?
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 24:15SPEAKER_01: A lot of shock value there.
- 24:17SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 24:18SPEAKER_03: But, but yeah, it was just funny.
- 24:19SPEAKER_03: And it was like, whew,
- 24:22SPEAKER_03: this hit,
- 24:22SPEAKER_03: this hit a home run for me because,
- 24:26SPEAKER_03: you know, then it's like, okay, I got the good laugh out of it, which is good.
- 24:29SPEAKER_03: So.
- 24:30SPEAKER_03: So good time.
- 24:31SPEAKER_03: So thank you, Shelly Rocks.
- 24:33SPEAKER_00: I must commend you on finding me a band now.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: I've watched like every one of their videos and I very much enjoy this mishmash
- 24:42SPEAKER_03: of craziness.
- 24:44SPEAKER_03: And I appreciate it.
- 24:45SPEAKER_03: I appreciate when the fans send me something that I really don't know shit about.
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: Right.
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: This was one of them.
- 24:50SPEAKER_03: So thank you, Shelly.
- 24:52SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 24:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was pretty bizarre.
- 24:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's nuts.
- 24:59SPEAKER_00: What I like about this video, they do it long enough to where you're really shocked.
- 25:05SPEAKER_00: If they would have caught it 30, 40 seconds earlier, it's like, okay.
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: It's them pretending.
- 25:12SPEAKER_03: But they went through a whole chorus and into a second bridge and then hit.
- 25:17SPEAKER_03: I was like, geez.
- 25:22SPEAKER_03: Too fucking funny, man.
- 25:24SPEAKER_03: Like it.
- 25:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, very good.
- 25:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah, so...
- 25:28SPEAKER_00: So yeah, that's what's going on over on this side of the world.
- 25:33SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 25:34SPEAKER_01: Well, I will be flying out to Florida on Thursday.
- 25:40SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 25:41SPEAKER_01: To accommodate the docking boys.
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: Right on.
- 25:45SPEAKER_01: Doing a little road managing with them this week.
- 25:48SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 25:49SPEAKER_01: So I'm flying out Thursday for a show on Friday at the Dora Music Hall
- 25:56SPEAKER_01: in Mount Dora, Florida on Friday.
- 25:58SPEAKER_01: And then we're going to Ferg's Pavilion in St. Petersburg, Florida for Saturday.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: Okay.
- 26:05SPEAKER_01: So if we have listeners in the Florida area that are going to come out to the show,
- 26:12SPEAKER_01: if you see me around, come over and make your acquaintance.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:16SPEAKER_00: And just so everybody is aware...
- 26:19SPEAKER_00: I'm not promising this.
- 26:21SPEAKER_00: I'm really not promising this,
- 26:22SPEAKER_00: but if Neely and I can get our shit together,
- 26:27SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: in what is an already
- 26:29SPEAKER_03: very busy week,
- 26:31SPEAKER_03: we'll try and get some segments recorded and give you guys a show.
- 26:37SPEAKER_00: Oh, not a pre-record.
- 26:39SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm willing to do a pre-record.
- 26:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 26:42SPEAKER_00: Just because, honestly, if I hadn't taken off two weeks ago, I would not be doing a pre-record.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: But since we were off just two weeks ago, I'm like, eh, we can come up with some new content.
- 26:56SPEAKER_03: And God knows my list of things that I have is like 30 items long,
- 27:02SPEAKER_03: and I know tonight we'll get to like four of them.
- 27:04SPEAKER_03: So we'll have enough for another week.
- 27:08SPEAKER_00: So we will give you some semblance of a new show.
- 27:11SPEAKER_00: I don't know what exactly, but...
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: I will say this, though, and this is for those of you that are in the FastPass zone.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: I'm going to put the new FastPass up as soon as we end tonight.
- 27:26SPEAKER_00: Get it in because if you get it in by Monday,
- 27:29SPEAKER_03: odds are good we might be able to put a music piece together with it as well.
- 27:34SPEAKER_03: But if it ain't in by Monday,
- 27:36SPEAKER_03: forget it because by Wednesday, I will not have time to work on any of this shit.
- 27:42SPEAKER_03: So I'll put it up.
- 27:43SPEAKER_03: And that's a maybe.
- 27:45SPEAKER_03: It's like, I'll call it the medium pass this week because I'm not sure I'm going to use it.
- 27:52SPEAKER_03: It's a might be pass.
- 27:54SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's it.
- 27:54SPEAKER_03: Exactly right.
- 27:56SPEAKER_03: If we do it, you'll get first shot.
- 27:58SPEAKER_03: But I ain't promising that we're going to use it.
- 28:00SPEAKER_03: So we'll see.
- 28:03SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 28:04SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 28:05SPEAKER_01: Like I said,
- 28:06SPEAKER_01: I'll be in Florida on Friday and Saturday,
- 28:09SPEAKER_01: Mount Dora,
- 28:10SPEAKER_01: Florida at the Mount Dora Music Hall and then Ferg's Pavilion,
- 28:17SPEAKER_01: St. Petersburg, Florida next Saturday.
- 28:19SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 28:20SPEAKER_01: Fly home Sunday.
- 28:21SPEAKER_01: I'll be back in the Chicagoland area by 9.30 Sunday morning.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, wow.
- 28:29SPEAKER_00: Look at that.
- 28:31SPEAKER_01: Because it's only like an hour, like a 90-minute flight.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: From Florida to Chicago?
- 28:36SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not that far.
- 28:39SPEAKER_00: I would have thought that was like two, three hours.
- 28:41SPEAKER_01: No.
- 28:43SPEAKER_01: My flight leaves at 7.30 and I land at 9.30.
- 28:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and you lose an hour or you gain an hour or whatever.
- 28:52SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all right.
- 28:54SPEAKER_03: I just thought it was longer than that.
- 28:56SPEAKER_01: It's like two hours.
- 28:58SPEAKER_01: Okay, that's cool.
- 29:00SPEAKER_01: Yep.
- 29:01SPEAKER_01: So that's what's going on there.
- 29:02SPEAKER_01: So happy days.
- 29:05SPEAKER_01: At least I'll get out of the state for a couple of days.
- 29:09SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no shit.
- 29:10SPEAKER_01: Because I haven't been able to do that all summer.
- 29:12SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 29:12SPEAKER_03: Well, it's time.
- 29:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it is.
- 29:15SPEAKER_01: It is.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: All right.
- 29:16SPEAKER_01: Well, I say we get into some tunage.
- 29:20SPEAKER_00: All right.

- 29:46SPEAKER_03: Cinderella, Dead Man's Road.
- 29:48SPEAKER_03: How's that?

- 29:57SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
