  SPEAKER_01: Uh and if we can't, for some reason, because sometimes Doug has something going on or I have something going on, we usually do it on Tuesday nights.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh Doug thought we were doing it Tuesday.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: I thought we were doing it um Monday.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um so we went ahead and scheduled a Star City Syndicate rehearsal on Tuesday.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Doug didn't speak up and say, Well, we can't record the podcast.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_01: So that was anyway.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: Um at that point I wasn't thinking.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_01: Um that's that's typical par for the course for me.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: So we decided, well, actually, we to we talked to uh our uh our captain of the ship, uh Chris Morton, and uh owner of KMH Music, and uh was actually asked if we could maybe do the podcast in the store after the rehearsal.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_01: So we left a couple of mics set up, and here we are.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: Here we are.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_01: Here we are on a Tuesday night um with the owner of KMH Music.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Chris Morton!
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_02: Because he's like in our band and stuff.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks for having me.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: By the way, doing the podcast here increases the retail value of this entire building by 12 cents.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_04: Nice!
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, we tried to have you on, I think it was towards the end of the last season.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: And we recorded a whole interview with you.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: It was great.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_02: I was brilliant.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: I was so funny.

• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: Oscar and Academy Award and a Tony.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: And then this whole this little this little podcast recorder that we recorded into fell on the floor.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: And the disc got corrupted, which means we didn't have the interview.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: But it was really good, trust us.
• 3:08
  SPEAKER_01: It was.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_01: We wouldn't lie to you.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: So we decided to uh we we actually uh edited a podcast.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_01: No, we came the next day and we did it again.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so we re-recorded the video.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_04: We're gonna pretend the first one didn't happen.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_04: Well, part of it didn't happen.
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: Mr.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Morton could not be with us that time, so we we just pretended there was no interview with Chris Morton.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: But now, here we are, in your digs.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, woohoo.
• 3:28

  SPEAKER_01: In uh in in K.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: You can smell the rehearsal.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: You can.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_02: Sorry about that.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_01: And I also want to say that I I I do sound a little different because I have a little stuffed up nose, but this there's stuff going around, man, and it's we've already we've already talked about the fact that it's not COVID.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um everybody's immune system is shot, you know, because everybody's been wearing masks and everything, and so there's allergies and there's like a cold going around that hangs on forever.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: Leprosy.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: Leprosy stomach flu is going around, but I'm on the better end of it.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so we'll see.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see uh how many uh other people in my family.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_04: Bring out your dead.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, while we have you here, we want to talk about um well, let's talk about KMH music.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Can we do can we do that?
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_01: Can we talk about KMH music a little bit?
• 4:17
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I don't know much about it, I just we're here.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: I remember uh when it was down on State Street.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it was Aroustic Music.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_02: Aroustic music, uh division of Northern Kingdom music.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we had a sign that was like ten feet tall to get all the letters in, but yeah.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_02: Part of the NK mus family of companies or something.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: Which is a New England-based company, or is it actually it was just Maine, uh Northern Kingdom.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: But it's super weird because there were actually two Northern Kingdoms, which is super weird.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: Northern Kingdom is not a brilliant name for a music store.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: So why there would be two different music stores that would both call themselves Northern Kingdom is not anything I've ever understood.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, we were one of them.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: So you were you were affiliated with Northern Kingdom Music, but uh you serviced the uh the schools and and just basically the local area.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, uh when we started out, actually, I was hired to clean saxophones uh for nine hours a week, uh three hours on Monday, and then three hours on Wednesday, three hours on Friday.
• 5:22
  SPEAKER_02: Um we didn't sell guitars or drumsets, it was very bizarre.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: They just had this weird tiny little repair shop in a former pawn shop.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and people would come into the pawn shop with like hockey skates and be like, Hey, do you guys buy hey, you guys have an awful lot of saxophones?
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: You still buy hockey skates, and depending on the price, sometimes sure.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: But funny story, I remember going in as a kid, I remember going into that pawn shop before it was a rustic music and buying a quiet riot cassette uh after Kevin DeBral left, the lead singer.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, yeah, and it was like uh there was a new singer, I can't remember what it was what his name was, but anyway, I remember buying that cassette in that very pawn shop.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry, a little aside there.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, we should give uh Larry Hall credit.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, the late great.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so so he it was his store.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh he managed it, yeah.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_02: They had hired him to manage it.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: And uh so the funny thing is he was my music teacher all through school, and I had asked him when I was graduating in high school, he said, I'd would you write me a letter of recommendation?
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: Because I really want to go to school for music.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_02: I would love to make a career out of music.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, You never will.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, if you want to do it, you can try really hard, but probably it's gonna end in failure and you're gonna wind up washing dishes.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Go for something, you know, way more bankable.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I went and got an English degree because you know, more bankable.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'll show him all the money that rolls in.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_01: No, so the funny thing is when you got an English degree, now you own a music store.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's the best part.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_02: So a year after I uh had started college, um, he had been hired to manage this store.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_02: Arous the guy who owned the Northern Kingdom family of companies had called Mr.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: Hall and asked him to manage this one outpost up here.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_02: And it was supposed to be just a tiny store where they just service the schools.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: So um he's like, okay, but I need a part-timer to cover the store basically while I'm doing repairs and stuff and do billing.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: Um and to clean the instruments because we used to rent instrument like a ton, like 800 instruments in the county.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um so that was my job was to clean saxophones, and then Mr.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_02: Hall cajoled them into letting us sell guitars and drums, and from there it went wildly out of control until um the company eventually went out of business in 2012, but then by that point we had kind of a following and the community has been great to us.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: So Mr.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: Hall and I and Randy, the K and KMH music, yeah, decided to open our own shindig here.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_04: Um I was here Saturday to drop off the ninja cat, which you graciously used for that one song I did on Friday night.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_04: Um tell him the story that you were telling me about the guitars hanging from the rafters.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_02: So, Mr.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_02: Hall, um who is my mentor, my hero, you know, um, he was awesome.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_02: He was a lot of things, but he also had a very interesting perspective perspective on um retail display.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_02: Uh the store was tiny, like just super tiny.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say like one on state street.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm sorry, there's one on state street, like 15 feet by 20 feet max, something like that.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_02: I remember.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and one Christmas, he begged and pleaded and got the company to send us a whole bunch of guitars, but more guitars than we could actually physically put on the floor.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_02: Like literally, we did not have enough for space to stack all the guitars up.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_02: So I come walking into the store and wham! Like thump my head on this Yamaha acoustic that's hanging from the ceiling.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: He had taken fishing twine and suspended them from the rafters.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_02: So you're walking in and it's you're dodging and ducking.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_02: So I look at him and he's still on a ladder.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he's tying a same or something up into the rafters, and he goes, buy your way through.
• 8:51
  unknown: Oh my god.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: Buy your way through.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: Oh man.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh okay, so you guys moved over here, and it's so it's it's it was Larry Hall and yourself and um Randy King.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, King KMH.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: KMH King Morton's Hall of Music.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I wish that I had never called it King Morton's Hall of Music just because like KMH music.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_02: I like, and we love the name.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, you were the one who gave us the name.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't gonna say that.
• 9:19
  unknown: Yeah, it's good.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: It was.
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_02: We were trying to come up with a name, and the really funny thing was so Randy and Mr.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: Hall and I are all not bickering about it, but Mr.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: Hall would be like, North Star music, and Randy and I would go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I went, Mort's music emporium, and Randy's like, it sounds like a dope shop.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, Dope shops! Dope shops are never gonna be a thing.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: Shut up and it'll be fine.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_02: Turns out, yeah.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_02: So we finally we compromised on King Morton's Hall of Music because each of us wanted the other two guys to have their name in the name, you know.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um, and it was kind of the acceptable compromise, except for I can't tell you how many people have come up to me and been like King Morton.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_02: Is your first name King or are you just like really arrogant?
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: It's like Hootie and the Blowfish.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: Which one's Hootie?
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not even in the band.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so and it's been uh smooth sailing ever since.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, no problems whatsoever.
• 10:17
  SPEAKER_02: People on radio can't see the twitch, but no problem.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, we uh we like to call it home.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um I don't know how any any chance I any free moment, and you know this, any free moment that I get, because I have lots of kids and and job and wife and everything.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: And if I have to go to this, you go get some milk.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_01: Can you go get some milk for the kids?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: Sure, sure.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'll go get some milk.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um and I pull over here and come and say hi to Chris for a few minutes.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: What took you so long?
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_01: I ran into somebody and I was just talking and you know it usually does.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_04: Well, this place is has two of my favorite things it has music and the paranormal.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_04: Because I'm pretty sure the basement is haunted.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, we talked about this a little bit.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_01: Tell me about that.

• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: Um we so legend has it that the place next to us, the illustrious Braden movie theater, in the place of the Braden, and possibly overlapping on the spot where we are now, um, right around the turn of the 19th late 1800s, early 1900s, there was a city hall next to us.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_02: It was a building that served as like the post office on the uh on the first floor and then city hall on the second floor, but the basement was the morgue.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my goodness.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, which is great to find out after you've you know worked here for a couple years and seen and heard some things.
• 11:50
  SPEAKER_02: But don't you do don't you like do work in the basement and stuff too?
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_02: Not anymore, no.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_04: Not at all.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_04: I just remember I was in here one day and I was I was hanging out with Chris and I was sitting by the basement door.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we're just talking away, and and there's nobody else in the store except the two of us, and all of a sudden I hear those like cling downstairs, like metal on metal.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, is there somebody downstairs?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_04: He's like, no.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: Have you had any other like weird happenings or I I actually had a very weird happening uh occur down there once I had a weird happening happen.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_02: Happening happened.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_02: I had a weird happening happen down there.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_02: Um there was one day when I ran downstairs to grab uh a guitar case for a customer.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody had bought a guitar, and we keep the cases in the corner of the basement.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_02: And the basement has some interesting wiring, which means that you flip on the light, and then when you're halfway across the room, the light actually catches.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it takes a minute, you know.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: It's like the speed of sound, but it's light.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_02: So I did that.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like running across the room and I flip on the light, and I'm d- and something goes by my face.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, I felt something go by my face.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: And so I did the intelligent thing and screamed like a girl.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like freaked out, but what do you do?
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's a customer upstairs and goes.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_02: So I keep running and I grab the guitar case and then I turn around and there's a pigeon watching me.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_02: There had been a pigeon that had snuck in through this old chimney uh entrance that we had down there and was flying around our basement.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: Uh, I thought for a second it was a ghost pigeon, but no, just regular pigeon.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_02: Just regular pigeon.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_01: Ghost pigeon.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: That's not that's never bad.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_02: I was just gonna say ghost pigeon.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_01: Ghost pigeon.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_02: As far as other happenings, we hear a lot of weird sounds, and a couple people have been like, hey, did you see that guy out there?
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: And there's no guy out there.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: But um, it's we've never been able to concrete nail down a ghost, sadly.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh we talk about the fact that you carry uh a bunch of stuff, you know, guitars and and uh band instruments and even some PA gear and and whatnot, and you you you got some vinyl, some used vinyl uh over there.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: And um but we want to talk about um some of the things that you do for like the schools.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: You service all the schools, yes?
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we do.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_02: Um that was how I got my start here.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_02: Uh and originally that's what the business was built on was by renting school band instruments to kids, and we sell them to and we refurbish them.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: That side of the business has dwindled a lot.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: When I started here, we used to do 800 instruments a year in Arusta County, and now it's down to like 150 or something like that.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_02: But it's still really fun.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: We love to go to the schools and and meet the kids and work with band conductors, and it's cool to see the next generation coming up.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's especially fun to visit the school in the form of the syndicate and to show people the power of a horn section.
• 14:48

• 15:43
  SPEAKER_04: The syndicate at 50% is still way better than a lot of other people in a hundred percent.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_04: I'm I'm sorry.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, I I don't I don't say that to be arrogant, but with the amount of talent in this band, yeah, it's just that's just the way it is.

• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and I consider myself to be incredibly lucky.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm the least talented member to be a part of this band.

• 16:39
  SPEAKER_02: Dude, get out of my head.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Get off my freak.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um, so what what I was gonna say is we because we've we've gone over the how the syndicate started before.

  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we've had you on before and we talked about how the syndicate got its start and and all that stuff.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_01: And but let's talk about uh what's coming up this year.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we we're fortunate enough to have people coming to us and uh and wanting to hire us, and uh we've got some some stuff lined up.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_01: Can we talk about that a little bit?
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'd love to.

  SPEAKER_02: It's funny, the first year that um we played, I remember telling you guys that we were gonna be lucky if we got two gigs.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: Like I remember the fair asked us to play, and I was like, guys, we're gonna get paid for a gig.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_02: It's like we're gonna make like 30 bucks a piece.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my word.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: We were like, wah, wah.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: This year we actually had to um after some long discussions, agree that we're only gonna play twice a month just because we're burning out.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:28
  SPEAKER_02: I I swear we could play once every week from May till September.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Because of demand, right?
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: I mean that because people weirdly enough, yeah.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's because it's not it's not so much that we're good, it's that we're fun to watch.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's a circus.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: I agree.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_02: With no game plan.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's so true.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: It's so true.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, it also might be.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_01: It also might be that there's there's no not a whole lot of other bands around.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_02: There is that too.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I I don't know if that's part of it, but I mean we're playing stuff that nobody else is playing.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_01: Because we can.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: Because we can.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_04: We have that much, like I said, we have the talent.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_04: We have horns.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_04: Nobody else is playing with horns.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_04: Right.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: Greatest horn section on the planet, right?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_04: North of Portland.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_04: Uh well of any.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: Not a full horn section.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think there's a band in Bangor that has a couple of like a saxophone or something like that.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think they do what we do though, in terms of they don't do the big band stuff and then switch it over to Huey Lewis in the news.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 18:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they do, I don't think they do either.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's more of like a R B uh band, straight RB and blues-based band, I think, is who I'm thinking of anyway.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: I can't I can't think of the name off the top of my head.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'd like to say it's because we have such a great vision for the band, and it's absolutely not because we have ADHD when it comes to something.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_01: Well, the funny thing is, is I I can I can because like the the band, believe it or not, kind of operates the same way this podcast operates.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: Because we just kind of go by the seat of our pants.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_01: Wing That Mother.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_01: Wing That Mother's Wing That Mother.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's probab that's gonna be the name of the podcast.

  SPEAKER_01: Music lessons.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh-huh.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_01: And we could make an official announcement right now if you want to.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: Love that.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_01: Uh what are we announcing?
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_01: Uh I needed a job for the summer.

  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna say hired me because I'm just gonna basically you use your room, right?
• 22:52
  SPEAKER_01: And you I mean I'm gonna give guitar lessons this summer.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_01: Awesome.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_04: I'd heard that rumor.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and and people have been asking me for a long time, you know, do you give guitar lessons?
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_01: I said, I wish I had time.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and I wish I was better so that I could give guitar lessons.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um I have a confidence issue, obviously.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but it worked out, you know.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm in a teaching position now, sort of, and I have my summers off, but I need you know, employment over the summer, and you guys need some relief because Randy has been doing a lot of the well, all of the guitar lessons, right?
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_01: And um, so I'm gonna kind of relieve him a little bit because you got a backlog of people that want guitar lessons.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, so many, yeah.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_02: We have dozens.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say like 30 or 40.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_02: And it was funny too when you were.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: I know we had been trying to talk you into this for a while, and I thought it was funny that you thought you weren't qualified to teach guitar lessons because uh the average first question that you get hit with is this guitar has six strings, is that right?
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, but that's one more than I have fingers.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_02: Oh no, that's so funny.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: We got problems.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_01: Like I said, I'm not qualified.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry about that.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_01: I should have known all that information.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_04: Unless you're looking for that guy from Princess Bride.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_04: Do you have six fingers on your left hand?
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Hello.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm excited about that.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: I'm nervous about it, but I'm excited about it.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's gonna be a lot of fun because I think it's a lot of beginners.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know, and um I've I've given guitar lessons to uh I mean, I gave a couple guitar lessons at my house a long time ago.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember yeah.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and that always went well.
• 24:31
  SPEAKER_01: But uh this this should be this should be fun.

  SPEAKER_01: There's no there's no plot to that movie, it's just a story.
• 26:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess you're right.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, because they don't do anything, they don't like accomplish anything.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_01: They always go on a Top Gun, he's busy.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: I know, but but what's the point?
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_01: He's trying to nail Kelly McGinnis.
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, come on.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_04: What what's what's the plot?
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_04: What's the like there is no plot?
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_04: Who cares?
• 27:16
  SPEAKER_04: It's like planes and stuff, it's planes shooting down other planes, and you know, need for speed, and you lost that love and feeling and talk to me, goose.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, talk to me, goose, you know.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's just so and the reason I say that is because this one has a plot.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_01: Ah um that's different.
• 27:33
  SPEAKER_01: There's a there's a uh an objective, and um fans, you don't have to watch the first movie to enjoy the second movie.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: You could watch it without ever having seen the first top gun and still enjoy it.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but if you have seen the first top gun, you'll get all kinds of references and um you'll you'll really I mean things will stand out to you.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_01: So um I enjoyed it, I think, and I'm gonna go I'm gonna go out and say it's better than the original.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_02: Over the top gun.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's a stallone reference, right?
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 28:17
  SPEAKER_03: Oh assembly.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh the top gun.
• 28:23
  SPEAKER_01: That's I like that.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: Uh so anyway, I would I would recommend it.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_01: It was it was pretty good.
• 28:27
  SPEAKER_04: Well, I heard Val Kilmer is in it.
• 28:29
  SPEAKER_01: Val Kilmer is in it.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_04: Considering he's had throat cancer and he talks with a it's it's written in very well.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, okay.
• 28:38
  SPEAKER_01: They treat it very well and it's um it's good.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_01: The way they did it was really good.
• 28:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I think you'll enjoy it.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_01: Um the other thing I wanted to talk about before we kind of move on to uh the guessing game um is the new Deaf Leopard.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to like I said, I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but because we've been talking about the new Deaf Leopard for a while.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_01: Are you a Deaf Leopard fan, Chris?
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: Uh sure.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_01: No, I'm not a no, okay.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: I I because I've been a Deaf Leopard fan since I was a kid.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_01: Since actually before hysteria.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_01: Before, like before before the big, you know, pour some sugar on me.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_04: Well, you had that uh what was that first album with You were the first person I ever saw with that album.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, my my I still don't have it.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_01: My uh my favorite song is on that album.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's called Overture, and it's it's awesome.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um I really like them because of their vocals and just because of the there used to be a darkness around them that was um the music itself had had kind of a uh lilting dark feel to it.
• 29:39
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't know how to explain it.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: And then they went like strip club, pour some sugar on me, and they went all pop.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_01: And I will say I don't get it.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_01: So I was anticipating this uh or uh you know excited about this new album uh because the last album they had came out, I think, in 2015, something like that, and it was a self-titled, and it was okay.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_01: There were a couple good songs, and and the rest of it was and I find that uh uh lately on our podcast we've been just going negative, and I don't want to do that.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to sound like two curmudgeons, uh the two guys from The Buppet Show, maybe.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um but um so I I've been sitting with this Def Leopard album for the weekend and I've been listening to it, and I have to say um it's a different band.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_01: They're they're definitely a different band.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's a pop rock band now.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_04: Okay, um but it's really quite they can do whatever they want.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 30:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, what I'm saying is it's really good.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's really good pop rock.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: They've got Alison Krauss singing two songs with them.
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it it works.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um I don't I I I wish I could tell one of the songs is called This Guitar.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: This guitar saved my life, which is pretty cool.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's very Nashville.
• 30:53
  SPEAKER_01: Uh um for Def Leopard, it's very Nashville.
• 30:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and then there's another one called Lifeless, where her voice kind of carries the song in the background.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's I was really impressed.
• 31:06
  SPEAKER_01: Now, a lot of it is cheese.
• 31:09
  SPEAKER_01: You know, give me a kiss that rocks.
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_01: That's the name of the song.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's the name of the song.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_01: And there's another song called SOS Emergency.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the choruses and the and the melodies of these songs are pretty good, and the vocals are unbelievable.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: Um but it's memorable.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's but the thing is, is it's all of it is memorable, so it kind of is a wash.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, what was that song on that new Def Leopard album that uh was really good?
• 31:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh well.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_01: But because they always said like with hysteria, uh, they wanted to make a greatest hits album.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, they wanted every song to be like Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_01: Remember the Melt Lang says, Why can't we make a make a greatest hits album?
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_01: Uh it's so funny.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_01: Chris Morton's over here just going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in the back of my back of his mind.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: So I hate Def Leopard.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why are we talking about that?
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_01: I hate them.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_01: But I just wanted to let these hamsters in my store.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_01: I just Where's the ghost pigeon when you need them?
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to revisit that because um the album, I'm not gonna say it's because they're promoting the heck out of it.
• 32:11
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know that it lives up to its hype, but it's better than the last it's better, it's probably the best Def Leopard album since uh Adrenalize.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and I didn't like Drenalize.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_01: I know you didn't.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_04: I know you didn't, but I I really hated that Switch one.
• 32:27
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Switch 625?
• 32:29
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I really didn't like Drenalize.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_01: That was on High and Dry.
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_01: That was back before Pyro.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_04: No, no, didn't they have an album called Switch?
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 32:35
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you're thinking of Slang.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_01: Slang.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_01: Slang.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 32:39
  SPEAKER_01: That was an experimental album.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: Words are hard.
• 32:41
  SPEAKER_01: That was an experimental album.
• 32:43
  SPEAKER_01: But but um Adrenalized was like 1990, it was right after Steve Clark died.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was like 91, I think, yeah, 9091.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_01: And and and so this is probably the best album since then.
• 32:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I think.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_01: But it is a different band.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but I'm gonna digress now because we should be talking about something else.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: Is slang the past tense of sling?
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_02: That's that's my question about this.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I should ask, I would ask him my my uh what I said to you earlier.

  SPEAKER_01: I probably could.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_01: If I looked at it on the insert.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_01: Uh if I looked deeper.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_02: It's on a Wednesday, I think.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_01: 7.55.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_01: Do you see a date on there at all?

  SPEAKER_02: That's interesting.

  SPEAKER_02: Put that on all the records.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_04: What is that?
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_04: Dude.
• 43:25
  SPEAKER_04: That's like some old school like typewriter stuff, man.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_04: This must come like with the um Premier Talent Association Cumper Incorporated.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_02: It says it was recorded in England.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_02: That's helpful.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_01: So you know that anywhere from 1066 to now.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_01: Um 1969, I think.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_01: Is when it I think it was 69.
• 43:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_01: Uh William the Conqueror brought it to the shores.
• 43:55
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't know.
• 43:57
  SPEAKER_01: I and I I like I said, I like the Who.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I was never Pete Townsend I think is is a genius because he basically composed most of the most of the music.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_01: Um and you think of when you think of the Who's music you think of I mean I think of CSI like you said.
• 44:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah I mean um because it won't get fooled.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_04: You don't you don't you don't even have to be in the room when a CSI show comes on because you're like, oh uh which one which song is it?
• 44:23
  SPEAKER_04: Is it uh is it uh you know is it Bob O'Reilly?
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_04: Oh well it's you know, it's this yeah, it's CSI Miami.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_01: If it's uh is it Won't get fooled again?
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_04: That's regular CSI Las Vegas, yeah.
• 44:33
  SPEAKER_01: And that's would you agree?
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean they probably made a bucket load of money from royalties and or from sync.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_01: I would assume they did, you know, from those, because every CSI show has the Who.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's a different song.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_01: Who Are You?
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_01: Who Are You?

• 45:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, it's Bob O'Reilly.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_04: That used to drive me crazy.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_04: And then, you know, there was there were we were online at the time and there was there was like nothing for a while.

• 45:57
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 45:57
  SPEAKER_01: I was played.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_02: I used to play with Wally in the Virginian, actually, and I'm telling tales out of school, but I remember playing one gig, and all of a sudden the lead singer walks over to me and he's like, Hey, have fun, and he walks off stage.
• 46:09
  SPEAKER_02: And we're like, Well, what are you doing?
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_02: So we just sold.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_02: I think we were playing like uh Born on the Bayou or something like that, and we just kept playing for like, you know, 10-15 minutes, and pretty soon the lead singer shows back up, like just comes walking through the crowd, you know, shaking hands, smiling, comes up on stage.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_02: Where were you?
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, Ah, do you smile?
• 46:28
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I can totally see him doing that.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, oh yeah, me too.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think he actually was too.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_02: I think he just wanted some fries.
• 46:34
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe.
• 46:35
  SPEAKER_01: I I remember sitting in, and and this is not really um you know, um messing with those guys, we're just messing with those guys because we love those guys.
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_01: We do, we love all of those guys in that band.
• 46:46
  SPEAKER_01: But I I sat in with him a couple times uh playing keys, and I remember this one time we were playing a uh Christmas party.
• 46:53
  SPEAKER_01: I think it was um uh like a tweety trucking Christmas party or something at the time at the time.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_01: Sergeant trucking.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sergeant trucking, yeah.
• 47:01
  SPEAKER_01: And this was a while back, and uh so we we played actually we didn't start on time.
• 47:07
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the the gig was supposed to start at a certain time, and it was like quarter after whenever it was, you know, and so we started and we played for you know, I don't know, 40 minutes, 45 minutes, something like that.
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_01: And then uh uh we take a break, and I say to the guitar player, I said, So when we when are we back on stage?
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_01: So I go, I don't know.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_01: We'll just say we'll just take a break.
• 47:27
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_01: A half an hour later, maybe even more than a half an hour, they start going up.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, oh, okay, half hour breaks, awesome.
• 47:37
  SPEAKER_01: But you know, it was there was there was no pressure, or uh, that's a different band.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_02: There was uh you know, they're very laid back, very, very, very cool to work with.
• 47:46
  SPEAKER_02: I used to love to play with them because I would come in, I would not know what we were doing at all.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: And they'd be like, Don't worry about a rehearsal, you'll figure it out as we go.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_02: Or and I'd be terrified thinking there is no way I can catch up to this.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_02: And then I figured it out.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_02: They also were figuring it out as they would go.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_02: And I remember there was one night we were playing, and I had no idea how to end the song.
• 48:04
  SPEAKER_02: So we're playing something, and I'm drummer, you know, I'm kind of supposed to cue some kind of ending, and same thing.
• 48:11
  SPEAKER_02: Tommy, the lead singer, leans over the drum set, and so I craned my ear towards him, expecting, hey, we're gonna end, or something like that.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, This is awesome!
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I remember Danny, the guitar player, who's a great guitar player.
• 48:26
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he is.
• 48:27
  SPEAKER_01: Um, but he I when I was playing keys, I'd be like, we'd start a song.
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_01: I said, What key is this?
• 48:33
  SPEAKER_01: And he'd say, I don't know.
• 48:36
  SPEAKER_01: And then he'd look at me, then he'd look at me and go, E.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_01: So I'd start playing E, and it was, you know, I'm just kind of testing it out.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_01: Like, and he looks at me and goes, No, that's not right.
• 48:46
