5:34
SPEAKER_01: It's like I've literally been spending a little bit,

6:16
SPEAKER_01: you know, it's like, ugh, you know.
6:19
SPEAKER_01: And I'm fully embracing,
6:22
SPEAKER_01: I finally decided with these ticket prices,
6:25
SPEAKER_01: for the first time in my history, I'm going to start asking for tickets.
6:31
SPEAKER_01: As many interviews, I thought about it.
6:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm in this whole redo myself thing.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: You know,
6:37
SPEAKER_01: like I told you last week about how I'm going to actually change up and I'm going
6:40
SPEAKER_01: to go get the fat fucking fat farming done and get the weight off me and whatnot.
6:45
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
6:47
SPEAKER_01: And I forget who sent it, but whoever sent it, thank you for your advice.
6:51
SPEAKER_01: I appreciate it.
6:52
SPEAKER_01: Of course, I got a laundry list of advice.
6:57
SPEAKER_01: This is what you need to look at, man.
6:59
SPEAKER_01: And don't be just so quick to go with Ozempic.

7:09
SPEAKER_01: Thank you for your concern.
7:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: But, you know, I do have that kind of stuff going on.
7:16
SPEAKER_01: And one of the things I just decided just recently really was I'm doing two
7:23
SPEAKER_01: to three times as many interviews as probably anybody else on the Internet.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably.
7:29
SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, everybody else, they might do one a week.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: Maybe if they're really active, they do one a week.
7:35
SPEAKER_01: And I'm doing two and three every single week.
7:38
SPEAKER_01: So you know what?
7:39
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to start going to some of these fucking shows.
7:42

7:43
SPEAKER_01: every single artist is like, hey,
7:45
SPEAKER_01: you know,
7:46
SPEAKER_01: if you want to come, just tell the publicist this and tell them I said to let me go.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: So I'm going to go.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to start going to, I'm going to go see Asia when Asia comes back.

8:00
SPEAKER_01: that just kicks ass, this kick ass thrash band.

13:46
SPEAKER_01: But I did.

14:06
SPEAKER_01: It was here like two hours after I ordered it.
14:08
SPEAKER_01: Did they set it up too?
14:10
SPEAKER_01: No, I did that, or my son did it.
14:12

14:34
SPEAKER_01: It works.
14:35
SPEAKER_01: It's 4K.
14:37
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it works fine.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: It's a Vizio device.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: With ONN or whatever, the Walmart version of Roku, I guess.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
14:46
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's like a smart TV.
14:47
SPEAKER_01: It has apps and shit on it.
14:51
SPEAKER_01: This fucking screen is so annoying.
14:57
SPEAKER_01: I finally understand the TV industry now.
15:02
SPEAKER_01: Everything is locked down.
15:04
SPEAKER_01: Everything is them advertising for shit I don't have.
15:08
SPEAKER_01: So I can't change what's on the home screen.
15:11
SPEAKER_01: You know,
15:12
SPEAKER_01: which means I'll never use it,
15:13
SPEAKER_01: which means it's always going to be set to HDMI 1 to the Roku or to the VC box,
15:19
SPEAKER_01: A or B.
15:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, because the home screen is, hey, here's what's trending on Apple TV.
15:27
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't matter that I don't have Apple TV.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: It's going to show me what they're showing on Apple TV.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: And here's what's on Hulu.
15:35
SPEAKER_01: And here's what's on Amazon Prime.
15:38
SPEAKER_01: And it's like just a fucking sales pitch.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: For you to click through and sign up for an account through Vizio.
15:45
SPEAKER_01: It's like go and fuck yourself.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: Well, the big TV I have in my bedroom, I never connected it to the internet.
15:54
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, because it says, you know, do you want to connect to the internet?
15:59
SPEAKER_00: Do you want to connect?
16:00
SPEAKER_00: No, I don't.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: Right.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: And I never have.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: I just connected my Roku to it and I never connected the actual TV.
16:09
SPEAKER_00: It's a smart TV, you know, it's new, but I would never allow it to connect to the internet.
16:15
SPEAKER_01: Well, mine's definitely connected to the internet,
16:17
SPEAKER_01: not because I'm going to use the smart part of it,
16:20
SPEAKER_01: but because if I don't connect it,
16:22
SPEAKER_01: then I got to fucking maintain three goddamn remotes.
16:26
SPEAKER_01: Which I don't want to do.
16:28
SPEAKER_01: You know, and if it's connected to the internet, I can control everything from my phone.
16:34
SPEAKER_01: Again, me with the dumb phone.
16:35
SPEAKER_01: It's like, God forbid, I got to put one remote down and pick up another one.
16:39
SPEAKER_01: Nope, I just need an app for that.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: Right.
16:42
SPEAKER_01: And I do.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: I've got a Vizio app on my phone,
16:44
SPEAKER_01: and I got a Roku app on my phone,
16:46
SPEAKER_01: and I got a universal app for my phone so that I can cover all the bases.
16:52
SPEAKER_01: I really am a dork.
16:53
Right.
16:57
SPEAKER_00: Well, I haven't been that dependent on any kind of device or whatever.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: I could leave the house without my phone and it would not even bother me.
17:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I could not do that.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: I could not do that.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: Dude, I did about, I don't know, it was probably a couple of months ago at this point.
17:18
SPEAKER_01: I did just that.
17:21
SPEAKER_01: I got in my car.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: I was thinking about whatever it was that I had to be doing.
17:26
SPEAKER_01: So I wasn't paying full attention to my normal routine of get in the car,
17:30
SPEAKER_01: make sure that you got something connected,
17:32
SPEAKER_01: make sure you got something you want to listen to.
17:33
SPEAKER_01: You know, I just turned it.
17:35
SPEAKER_01: I just got in the car.
17:36
SPEAKER_01: I flipped on the radio and I was backed out and down the hill, down the street.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: I was almost to that gas station, which is what, about a mile or so from my house?
17:45
SPEAKER_00: About a mile, yeah.
17:46
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, oh, don't have my phone.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: Well,
17:49
SPEAKER_01: I guess I've got to turn around to go get that because there's no way am I going
17:53
SPEAKER_01: to go all the way to Cleveland and then be down there for three hours
17:58
SPEAKER_01: in some waiting room without my phone.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Fuck you.
18:01
SPEAKER_01: Not doing that.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if you were just doing just an errand down the street and you still went back
18:07
SPEAKER_00: and got it, then I'd start to worry about you.
18:10
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to say I wouldn't.
18:12
SPEAKER_00: But having to be away and sit in a waiting room and have nothing to do, I can kind of get that.
18:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, where's the time limit?
18:19
SPEAKER_01: Half hour.
18:21
SPEAKER_01: You're going to be out a half hour.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: Well, if you're just running to the sheets to go pick up a sandwich and some milk.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
18:30
SPEAKER_01: But what about if I'm like going to the bank where I'm going to have to be in
18:33
SPEAKER_01: the drive through and all that for probably a half hour?
18:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you can get
18:37
SPEAKER_01: by a half.
18:38
SPEAKER_01: I can't do that.
18:39
SPEAKER_01: Listen to regular radio.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: No way.
18:42
SPEAKER_00: No way.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: Fuck that.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe sitting in just quiet, just silence.
18:49
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what that means.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: I know.
18:51
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
18:52
SPEAKER_00: Since you're making all these wild changes in your life,
18:55
SPEAKER_00: can you imagine sitting silent just for 30 minutes?
18:58
SPEAKER_01: Dude,
18:59
SPEAKER_01: one of my doctor's appointments here in the near future is to get this fucking ear
19:03
SPEAKER_01: that barely hears to hear better because I want to add more sound to my head,
19:07
SPEAKER_01: not less.
19:08
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
19:09
SPEAKER_01: I need more.
19:10
SPEAKER_01: Right.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I cannot be in quiet.
19:14
SPEAKER_01: Fuck that.
19:15
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
19:17
SPEAKER_01: No.
19:18
SPEAKER_01: You want to see me coming to this show and not have slept in two or three days in a row?
19:22
SPEAKER_01: That's how you do it.
19:23
SPEAKER_01: I've never slept in quiet.
19:25
SPEAKER_01: From the time I was five years old, I had a radio on.
19:29
SPEAKER_00: Well, that part I get because I go to sleep to O&A every night.
19:34
SPEAKER_00: I still just play the shows.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
19:39
SPEAKER_00: And that's what I go to sleep to.
19:41
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
19:42
SPEAKER_00: Because there's some blocks out there that are 11 hours long.
19:46
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
19:47
SPEAKER_00: So I just flip on a best of O&A or a best of Anthony Cumia or Jimmy
19:55
SPEAKER_00: and Anthony are mean or something like that.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: And it's like 10 and 11 hours long.
20:01
SPEAKER_00: Right.
20:02
SPEAKER_00: So I'll put that on and it's still playing when I wake up.
20:05
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: So I get that part, going to sleep with something playing, you know.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
20:11
SPEAKER_00: And it does make me sleep better.
20:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it does.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: And dude, for me, like if I go to sleep that way, right now I'm on a Ron and Fez kick.
20:20
SPEAKER_01: I've just been listening to Ron and Fez nonstop on YouTube.
20:25
SPEAKER_01: And man, if the internet flickers or something and it kicks out, I wake up.
20:31
SPEAKER_01: I literally, I wake up, I'm like, what the fuck's going on?
20:34
SPEAKER_01: And I look around,
20:34
SPEAKER_01: and everything's quiet, and I'm like, oh, shit, let me turn something else back on.
20:38
SPEAKER_01: Like 4.30 in the morning or something,
20:40
SPEAKER_01: I'm fucking around with YouTube, trying to get a new sound coming.
20:44
SPEAKER_01: Hey, buddies.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: Love me some Ron and Fez, man.
20:47
SPEAKER_01: I know you were not as big of a fan.
20:49
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: I like Ron Bennington.
20:52
SPEAKER_00: I just couldn't handle Fez.
20:53
SPEAKER_00: I just couldn't handle it.
20:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I like the faggotry.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: I'm fine with it.
20:57
SPEAKER_01: Faggotry.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: I'm fine with it.
21:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I do the same thing.
21:03
SPEAKER_00: I go to sleep with something playing.
21:08
SPEAKER_01: My biggest problem that I have a lot of times is I'll go to sleep
21:11
SPEAKER_01: or I'll fall asleep because I take them goddamn gummies and I'll drift off.
21:16
SPEAKER_01: But I'll drift off and I'm watching like, you know, and then this guy butchered his family.
21:22
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm watching some horrific true crime thing.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: And then I wake up in the middle of the night and I just hear like screaming
21:29
SPEAKER_01: or whatever because it kicks to like a horror movie or something.
21:34
SPEAKER_01: I'll be sound asleep.
21:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking it's in my fucking house for that one second when I wake up grabbing for the gun.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: When I'm out on the road with,
21:45
SPEAKER_00: excuse me, when I'm out on the road with Dokken, I go to sleep to Forensic Files.
21:52
SPEAKER_00: I don't typically watch forensic files here at the house,
21:55
SPEAKER_00: but when I'm out in a hotel room, that's what I go to sleep to is forensic files.
22:03
SPEAKER_01: At least with that, though, there's no real screaming or anything.
22:06
SPEAKER_01: It's just a bunch of detectives going,
22:08
SPEAKER_01: and then we found a footprint, and it had two tears in it, and we dug that out.
22:15
SPEAKER_01: This was the key that broke the case.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's my sleeping in a hotel is Forensic Files.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: I just watch that until I drift off.
22:27
SPEAKER_01: Right.
22:28
SPEAKER_01: I hear you.
22:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's always porn.
22:34
SPEAKER_00: Can you sleep to porn?
22:37
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
22:37
SPEAKER_01: I've watched so much of it that I probably could.
22:40
SPEAKER_00: Really?
22:41
SPEAKER_01: I really think I probably could.
22:44
SPEAKER_01: I've watched entirely too much porn at this point.
22:48
SPEAKER_01: I think this is not even a lie and it's embarrassing, but I don't give a fuck.
22:53
SPEAKER_01: I think since I've been divorced, I've watched more porn than actual movies.
22:59
SPEAKER_01: I think if you took the minute to minute, I do believe it.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: Dude, I barely ever watch movies.
23:05
SPEAKER_01: I don't watch movies.
23:06
SPEAKER_01: Now, I'm not saying TV shows.
23:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm saying movies.
23:10
SPEAKER_01: Actual movies.
23:11
SPEAKER_01: Actual movies.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: The Meg or some shit.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: And if you took my half hour that I have to spend daily watching porn
23:21
SPEAKER_01: and you added all that up for 15.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: You've got a 30-minute block cut out?
23:26
SPEAKER_01: That's just how long it takes me to rub one out.
23:30
SPEAKER_01: Like 30 minutes or so.
23:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm desensitized to it.
23:35
SPEAKER_01: It's not this quick thing that it was when I was fucking 25 or whatever.
23:39
SPEAKER_01: It's just like,
23:40
SPEAKER_01: all right, you know, pound your dick three or four times fast and you're like, good.
23:45
SPEAKER_01: Now it's like this whole thing.
23:47
SPEAKER_01: It's like, you know, got to really invest myself into the porn.
23:51
SPEAKER_00: You got to work up to it.
23:53
SPEAKER_01: I got to fully commit to being that character, getting his dick sucked.
23:57
SPEAKER_01: You know, I got to really connect.
24:03
SPEAKER_00: Very deep subject material.
24:05
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
24:07
SPEAKER_01: I got another story.
24:08
SPEAKER_01: I got another backstory.
24:10
SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
24:11
SPEAKER_01: She's not really my stepdaughter, is she?
24:17
SPEAKER_01: But I do swear,
24:18
SPEAKER_01: if you took that amount of time versus actual watching movies,
24:23
SPEAKER_01: probably, if I had to guess, I would say at least double.
24:27
SPEAKER_01: At least double.
24:29
SPEAKER_01: Because every three days would be a movie.
24:31
SPEAKER_01: I certainly don't watch a movie a week.
24:34
SPEAKER_00: Right.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: So that's triple.
24:37
SPEAKER_01: No, that's double.
24:38
SPEAKER_01: Here I go with the fucking math.
24:39
SPEAKER_01: Never mind.
24:41
SPEAKER_00: Well, 30 minutes, an average movie is just shy of two hours usually.
24:47
SPEAKER_01: So every fourth day would be a movie.
24:49
SPEAKER_00: Every fourth day would be a movie, yeah.
24:51
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
24:51
SPEAKER_01: And I'll bet you, no lie, since in the last 15 years, I'll bet you I have not watched 50 movies.
24:59
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
24:59
SPEAKER_01: I just don't watch them.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: I watch shows.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: I watch a ton of TV.
25:04
SPEAKER_01: I watch a ton of TV,
25:05
SPEAKER_01: but a lot of it is shows and interrogation videos and, you know, true crime.
25:10
SPEAKER_01: I'm all about the murder porn.
25:12
SPEAKER_01: I'm back in on the murder porn again.
25:14
SPEAKER_01: I got out for a while,
25:16
SPEAKER_01: but now,
25:16
SPEAKER_01: you know,
25:18
SPEAKER_01: like Al Pacino said in Godfather 3, once I got out, they pulled me back in.
25:23
SPEAKER_01: They pulled me right back in.
25:24
SPEAKER_01: Pulled me right back in.
25:27
SPEAKER_01: It's not hamtube.com.
25:30
SPEAKER_01: Ham tube.
25:31
SPEAKER_01: Ham tube.
25:34
SPEAKER_01: Swear, something I did when I was 13 years old.
25:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm still never going to live that one down, am I?
25:39
SPEAKER_00: That's what happens when you just share your life out there.
25:42
SPEAKER_01: I know.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
25:45
SPEAKER_01: I don't care that you know that I fucked a ham.
25:49
SPEAKER_01: At least it wasn't a living pig.
25:53
SPEAKER_01: I fucked some living pigs too, but that's a different story.
25:57
SPEAKER_01: Right.
25:58
SPEAKER_01: I don't think they're biologically pigs.
26:02
SPEAKER_01: Just awful.
26:05
SPEAKER_00: It's funny.
26:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
26:08
SPEAKER_00: So what else is going on in your world?
26:10
SPEAKER_00: How are all the other shows and things that you do?
26:14
SPEAKER_01: Oh, well, I did one interview this week with that band Harlot.
26:18
SPEAKER_01: That's the only one I did.
26:21
SPEAKER_01: I did the Seth show.
26:22
SPEAKER_01: That went fine.
26:24
SPEAKER_01: There will be for people that do.
26:27
SPEAKER_00: So who's stalking Seth?
26:29
SPEAKER_01: Who's what?
26:29
SPEAKER_01: Stalking him?
26:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
26:31
SPEAKER_01: We don't know.
26:32
SPEAKER_01: He's had some issues where three,
26:36
SPEAKER_01: four, five o'clock in the morning, he's got flashlights going off in his house.
26:40
SPEAKER_01: He's calling the police and shit.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: What do you mean he's got flashlights going off?
26:45
SPEAKER_01: People outside in the windows flashing flashlights and shit in his windows.
26:50
SPEAKER_01: Got a stalker.
26:52
SPEAKER_01: I told him, come over here and get a gun.
26:55
SPEAKER_00: I thought he had a gun.
26:56
SPEAKER_00: No, he doesn't have a gun.
26:58
SPEAKER_00: I thought he had one because he was going down to Cleveland.
27:01
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't have a gun.
27:03
SPEAKER_00: I thought he had a small pistol.
27:05
SPEAKER_01: Not Seth.
27:06
SPEAKER_01: No?
27:07
SPEAKER_01: No.
27:07
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
27:07
SPEAKER_01: I think him and the wife, I think that's a him and a wife thing.
27:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
27:11
SPEAKER_01: I think.
27:12
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
27:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't ask.
27:15
SPEAKER_01: But even the wife is on board now with him having...
27:18
SPEAKER_01: A fucking rifle or something to blow somebody's fucking head off if they come in the house.
27:26
SPEAKER_01: You know, but I don't know.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know.
27:28
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's called the police a couple of times.
27:30
SPEAKER_01: The police have gathered some evidence a couple of times,
27:33
SPEAKER_01: and there is actual evidence, so
27:36
SPEAKER_00: who knows?
27:37
SPEAKER_00: Like sperm or jizz on the windowsill.
27:43
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that everything is just covered in jizz?
27:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
27:47
Yeah.
27:49
SPEAKER_01: Show me those stumps, you no-legged bitch.
27:52
SPEAKER_01: Show me them stumps.
27:54
SPEAKER_01: Jerking them off outside the window.
27:58
SPEAKER_00: Oh, we collected semen from the scene.
28:03
SPEAKER_01: Your house is normally blue,
28:04
SPEAKER_01: except for this one spot right outside the window,
28:07
SPEAKER_01: dripping down
28:07
SPEAKER_00: from the windowsill.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: For some reason, the grass is dead in this area.
28:14
SPEAKER_01: We have a high salt concentrate right here.
28:17
SPEAKER_00: Right.
28:17
SPEAKER_00: Right.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: So they just shine flashlights in the window and then they go away?
28:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, there's more than that.
28:28
SPEAKER_01: There's been some incidents where, you know, I never know with him.
28:33
SPEAKER_01: I certainly believe that what he's saying he believes and I do believe.
28:38
SPEAKER_01: But he's talked about coming into his house and finding the gas burners on his stove
28:44
SPEAKER_01: and they were out somewhere and he came back and somebody had turned on the hose and
28:50
SPEAKER_01: the Garage and stuff.
28:53
SPEAKER_01: You know,
28:54
SPEAKER_01: and I'm like, well,
28:57
SPEAKER_01: my head is like, all right, well, why don't you change the code on the garage door?
29:02
SPEAKER_01: Oh, you can do that?
29:04
SPEAKER_01: No.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: Once it's there, it can never be changed.
29:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
29:09
SPEAKER_01: How about just take the code thing?
29:10
SPEAKER_01: Because I asked him this.
29:12
SPEAKER_01: I said to him, I said,
29:14
SPEAKER_01: with the code, you know, he's got one of those code things on his garage door.
29:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
29:18
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
29:19
SPEAKER_01: And I said to him, I said, do you use it?
29:20
SPEAKER_01: He's like, no, never.
29:22
SPEAKER_01: I said, then take it off.
29:25
SPEAKER_01: You can do that?
29:27
SPEAKER_01: And it'll still work with the remote?
29:29
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
29:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
29:31
SPEAKER_00: All that is is a remote that you have to punch in a code.
29:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
29:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
29:35
SPEAKER_01: I was like, just take the fucker off.
29:38
SPEAKER_01: Is that hard?
29:39
SPEAKER_01: I was like, no.
29:39
SPEAKER_01: Even me, the dumbest motherfucker there is at anything manly.
29:44
SPEAKER_01: I know that all you do is you unscrew
29:45
SPEAKER_01: and you take whatever those screwy things are that you put on the ends of wires
29:51
SPEAKER_01: and you just put one on each side of the wire so that it doesn't shock.
29:55
SPEAKER_00: Well, typically, keypads on a garage door aren't hardwired anymore.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: Oh, is it?
30:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know.
30:04
SPEAKER_00: It runs on a 9-volt battery.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I did not know that either.
30:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:08
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'm not saying there aren't any that aren't hardwired,
30:11
SPEAKER_00: but typically those are just a remote keypad.
30:14
SPEAKER_00: That's all it is.
30:15
SPEAKER_01: The bottom line is if somebody's getting into your house
30:18
SPEAKER_01: and that's one way they could be getting in, you'd get rid of that.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
30:23
SPEAKER_02: Yo, Metalheads, what the hell are you waiting for?
30:25
SPEAKER_02: Metallica's and Justice For All just dropped and remastered 2LP Vinyl Glory, and it is crushing.
30:30
SPEAKER_02: Blackened, One,
30:32
SPEAKER_02: Harvester of Sorrow,
30:33
SPEAKER_02: those riffs hit harder than a freight train,
30:36
SPEAKER_02: and the drums will straight up cave your chest in.
30:38
SPEAKER_02: This is the album that defined thrash.
30:41
SPEAKER_02: And now it sounds meaner, louder, and heavier than ever.
30:46
SPEAKER_02: If you call yourself a Metallica fan, then you need to own this.
30:49
SPEAKER_02: Smash the link at the bottom of the screen right now and grab your copy before it's gone.
30:54
SPEAKER_00: You know, I know you're... Or as you said, change the code.
30:59
SPEAKER_01: Change the code?
31:00
SPEAKER_01: Gee, I don't know.
31:01
SPEAKER_01: Get a dog, a more ferocious dog.
31:03
SPEAKER_01: He has a dog that doesn't even bark.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: It's like, dude, get a dog that's got some oomph to it.
31:09
SPEAKER_01: Get yourself a pit or something that'll fucking eat somebody alive.
31:13
SPEAKER_01: See a flashlight, have the wife let that dog out the back door.
31:17
SPEAKER_01: You'll find out who it is real fucking quick.
31:21
SPEAKER_01: You know, but I
31:23
SPEAKER_00: don't know.
31:24
SPEAKER_00: It's a mystery to be solved.
31:27
SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully we won't find out because he's dead,
31:30
SPEAKER_01: but, you know, hopefully they just catch whoever this asshole is.
31:36
SPEAKER_00: Assuming he isn't dreaming all this.
31:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, there's that too.
31:41
SPEAKER_01: He has been through major trauma, but his wife is backing it, so his wife has seen it too.
31:48
SPEAKER_01: All right.
31:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming that it is happening.
31:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm assuming when they do find out,
31:55
SPEAKER_01: it's going to be some dumb fuck neighbor that works nights or works second shift
32:00
SPEAKER_01: or something.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: He's out in his yard fucking doing whatever,
32:04
SPEAKER_01: walking his dog or some shit at three in the morning or whatever.
32:07
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
32:09
SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
32:11
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: Come to find out it's the headlights of cars from a street over turning the corner.
32:17
SPEAKER_01: It could be that too.
32:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know.
32:19
SPEAKER_01: I've never been to his house to know.
32:22
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I don't know the lay of the land to give you a real opinion on this.
32:29
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
32:31
SPEAKER_01: Hopefully whatever it is, it gets solved because that is kind of scary when you think about it.
32:36
SPEAKER_01: Somebody fucking flashing lights in your house.
32:41
SPEAKER_01: That would have me outside.
32:43
SPEAKER_01: That would definitely have me looking to shoot somebody in the fucking head.
32:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you'd be taking your long stick and go boom.
32:49
SPEAKER_01: I'd be using the short one that'll cut them right in half.
32:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, your little judge.
32:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
32:56
SPEAKER_01: You know, this one looks scary, but the other one is scary.
32:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:01
SPEAKER_00: That little 410 round.
33:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
33:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, and I've got Kevlar cutters in it.
33:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
33:07
SPEAKER_01: I keep it loaded with the real arsenal.
33:09
SPEAKER_01: That thing will cut through a tank.
33:13
SPEAKER_01: It's like, all right, you want to come in here?
33:15
SPEAKER_01: Do so at your own fucking peril.
33:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, pal.
33:19
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
33:20
SPEAKER_00: Nice.
33:21
SPEAKER_00: Oh, very good.
33:23
SPEAKER_00: Well, not a whole lot going on on my end of the world.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: You know, it's just been nose to the grindstone day in, day out.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
33:32
SPEAKER_00: You know, just very busy.
33:33
SPEAKER_00: But like I said,
33:36
SPEAKER_00: I was looking forward to a three-day weekend just to get a little reprieve
33:41
SPEAKER_00: and relax.
33:41
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
33:43
SPEAKER_00: My nephew James and his dad and his brother are actually in your neck of
33:48
SPEAKER_00: the woods visiting my dad this weekend.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: That's cool.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: So they're in the area.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: Very cool.
33:58
SPEAKER_00: So I was over there last year at this time.
34:01
SPEAKER_00: I came in over Labor Day weekend.
34:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's right.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: That's when you and me and Mean Metal X had dinner together.
34:08
SPEAKER_01: Has that already been a year?
34:09
SPEAKER_01: It's
34:10
SPEAKER_00: been a year.
34:11
SPEAKER_00: God damn it.
34:12
SPEAKER_00: And I mentioned earlier that you and I met for lunch a couple of months ago.
34:17
SPEAKER_00: That was March.
34:19
SPEAKER_00: That was when?
34:19
SPEAKER_00: March?
34:20
SPEAKER_00: It was March.
34:21
SPEAKER_00: Shit.
34:21
SPEAKER_00: So that's almost a year.
34:23
SPEAKER_00: I know.
34:24
SPEAKER_00: So it's like April, May, June, July, August.
34:27
SPEAKER_00: Five months ago.
34:28
SPEAKER_00: Five months ago.
34:29
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
34:30
SPEAKER_00: That seems like two weeks ago.
34:31
SPEAKER_00: I know.
34:34
SPEAKER_00: Because when I sat there and thought, well,
34:35
SPEAKER_00: we met for lunch,
34:36
SPEAKER_00: and then I thought,
34:37
SPEAKER_00: wait a minute,
34:37
SPEAKER_00: I was wearing my long leather coat, so it was still kind of cold outside.
34:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it wasn't snowing, but it was almost.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: I was visiting my dad for his birthday.
34:46
SPEAKER_00: Right.
34:47
SPEAKER_00: His birthday is March 15th, so that's when I was there last.
34:52
SPEAKER_01: Right.
34:52
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that crazy?
34:54
SPEAKER_00: It is.
34:54
SPEAKER_01: It's nuts.
34:56
SPEAKER_01: It's insane how fucking fast this goddamn clock is running these days.
35:01
SPEAKER_01: It is.
35:02
SPEAKER_00: It is.
35:03
SPEAKER_00: So maybe you're right.
35:05
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you need to get out and figure out a way to have some kind of social interaction.
35:12
SPEAKER_01: I was talking to a friend this week, texting back and forth.
35:18
SPEAKER_01: And she's real into military stuff.
35:25
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, why don't you go out to a VFW hall?
35:31
SPEAKER_01: And I was like,
35:31
SPEAKER_01: I've never been to a V.
35:35
SPEAKER_01: I've never done anything military from the day I got out of the military.
35:40
SPEAKER_01: And it's not that I'm anti-military.
35:43
SPEAKER_01: Obviously, I'm pro-military and whatnot.
35:45
SPEAKER_01: But the day I got out was the day I got out.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: That was the end.
35:51
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, She's like, look up where there's a VFW hall near you.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: You probably go there.
35:57
SPEAKER_01: You can meet some people because she's trying to help me with some paperwork stuff
36:01
SPEAKER_01: that I'm trying to do.
36:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
36:03
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, well,
36:03
SPEAKER_01: you can just go to the VFW and there'll be somebody there that can help you
36:07
SPEAKER_01: with this certain thing that I need to get done.
36:12
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, okay.
36:12
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, well, look it up.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: Where's there a VFW near you?
36:16
SPEAKER_01: I look it up.
36:17
SPEAKER_01: There is literally one 1.2 miles from my house.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: And I've never even seen it.
36:24
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, that's just fucking embarrassing.
36:27
SPEAKER_01: She's like, you could go there.
36:29
SPEAKER_01: You served in a fucking war.
36:32
SPEAKER_01: You can absolutely go there.
36:34
SPEAKER_01: And if nothing else, go once a month to get the fucking free pancake breakfast or whatever.
36:39
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh yeah, I guess I could.
36:41
SPEAKER_01: And then again, socialize with people and tell war
36:44
SPEAKER_00: stories and shit.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: Right.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
36:46
SPEAKER_01: Which would be fun because God knows I got some good ones.
36:50
SPEAKER_00: You got to get one of those ball caps that are embroidered
36:54
SPEAKER_00: with your –
36:58
SPEAKER_01: My VFW hall number or whatever?
37:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, no,
37:03
SPEAKER_00: your branch of the military you served in and the year that you were in there
37:09
SPEAKER_00: and what your rank was and all that shit.
37:13
SPEAKER_01: Well, dude, it's funny you bring that up because that's how this discussion started
37:16
SPEAKER_01: because I was talking to her about going to the VA
37:22
SPEAKER_01: and how I felt like I don't belong at the VA because I don't have the VFW hat
37:27
SPEAKER_01: and I needed to get a VFW hat.
37:30
SPEAKER_01: And that's when she started with me about,
37:32
SPEAKER_01: well, you could go over there to get help with your paperwork too and this and that.
37:35
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, well, where is there one?
37:37
SPEAKER_01: And I looked it up and I was like,
37:38
SPEAKER_01: oh my God, it is literally a mile and 1.2 miles from my house.
37:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you could almost walk there.
37:45
SPEAKER_01: You could walk there, for God's sakes.
37:47
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't such a fat fucking slug.
37:50
SPEAKER_00: No, that'll help you in your journey of losing some weight.
37:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm walking to and from the VFW hall.
37:57
SPEAKER_00: Exactly, to eat pancakes.
37:58
SPEAKER_00: Right, I'm having a pancake and a beer, then I'm going to walk back home.
38:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, at least then I'd burn off some of the pancakes, I would imagine.
38:06
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
38:07
SPEAKER_00: And you get a cheap beer over there.
38:10
SPEAKER_00: I guess they have discounted beers or something.
38:12
SPEAKER_00: Their beers are less expensive.
38:15
SPEAKER_01: I like the sound of that.
38:16
SPEAKER_01: And then if I get too fucked up, I could still get, I could, you know, Uber for about $3.
38:21
SPEAKER_00: Or you could just, you could just wander, you know, stagger home.
38:26
SPEAKER_00: Stagger home.
38:27
SPEAKER_00: Exactly right.
38:28
SPEAKER_01: So close.
38:31
SPEAKER_00: There's that Chris Aiken guy again, staggering home.
38:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
38:35
SPEAKER_01: Chris, you could read your books at the VFW.
38:37
SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess I could.
38:40
SPEAKER_01: Did I tell you that my book got pulled from Amazon?
38:43
SPEAKER_00: Is that a surprise?
38:45
SPEAKER_01: It's not a surprise.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: I'm surprised it took that long.
38:48
SPEAKER_01: Of course, the Korea book.
38:49
SPEAKER_00: Oh, the Korean book?
38:50
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
38:51
SPEAKER_01: The Korea book.
38:52
SPEAKER_01: They finally figured out what it said on the cover, I guess.
38:56
SPEAKER_00: Was that the reason?
38:57
SPEAKER_01: They didn't give me a reason.
38:58
SPEAKER_01: They just said it's no longer available in the store.
39:01
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
39:03
SPEAKER_01: It's out of print.
39:04
SPEAKER_01: It's out of print.
39:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
39:07
SPEAKER_01: So if you don't have one,
39:09
SPEAKER_01: I probably have a few more here somewhere, but I'll get more printed somewhere else.
39:14
SPEAKER_01: But yeah, they pulled it.
39:18
SPEAKER_01: Not surprising.
39:20
SPEAKER_01: I didn't realize it at all, really.
39:22
SPEAKER_01: I was going because somebody had asked me to get an autographed one
39:26
SPEAKER_01: and I didn't know where I had any here in the house.
39:29
SPEAKER_01: So I went to order them, and they were like, sorry, this is out of print.
39:32
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh, fuck.
39:34
SPEAKER_01: They don't tell you these things?
39:37
SPEAKER_01: But, yeah.
39:39
SPEAKER_01: Another censorship thing.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: Probably.
39:42
SPEAKER_01: I'm positive.
39:44
SPEAKER_01: I mean, dude, the name of the book is Your Mother Has a Bald Pussy.
39:48
SPEAKER_01: In Korean.
39:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, in Korean.
39:56
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I can still speak it, but I can still say the words.
39:59
SPEAKER_01: I just can't sell those words anymore.
40:05
SPEAKER_00: Well, if somebody were to tell me that, I'd go, sounds good to me.
40:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right on, bro.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: Stop tempting me with a good time.
40:17
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
40:18
SPEAKER_01: I watch MASH, too.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: Right.
40:21
SPEAKER_00: It's funny.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of books being pulled a few weeks ago, Mark Dice got one of his books pulled.
40:32
SPEAKER_01: Oh, really?
40:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
40:35
SPEAKER_00: Same place, Amazon?
40:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Amazon.
40:38
SPEAKER_00: And so some popular podcaster picked up on it and started, you know, Making a thing about it.
40:47
SPEAKER_00: Right.
40:48
SPEAKER_00: And Amazon came back and said, oh, this was just an oversight.
40:52
SPEAKER_00: This was just a mistake.
40:53
SPEAKER_00: It was an oversight, you know.
40:56
SPEAKER_00: And they relisted it and everything.
40:59
SPEAKER_00: It's just like, yeah, this was just a clerical mistake.
41:03
SPEAKER_01: I don't have it in me to fight with them.
41:06
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
41:06
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that book came out, what, six, eight years ago?
41:09
SPEAKER_01: Something like that.
41:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, at least.
41:10
SPEAKER_01: At least.
41:11
SPEAKER_01: If you got it, you got it.
41:13
SPEAKER_01: If you didn't, you didn't.
41:14
SPEAKER_00: Right.
41:15
SPEAKER_01: That's where I'm at with it right now.
41:17
SPEAKER_01: 2,000 some odd ones of you did.
41:19
SPEAKER_01: There's a new book coming out that I will have participated in.
41:24
SPEAKER_01: The CMS book.
41:25
SPEAKER_01: Right.
41:26
SPEAKER_01: So you can buy that instead.
41:28
SPEAKER_01: That's less likely to get pulled.
41:29
SPEAKER_01: Although I don't know.
41:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't know the stories you've told.
41:32
SPEAKER_01: I've told some doosies.
41:35
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's the whole idea is that it's from both of our perspectives.
41:39
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
41:40
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
41:41
SPEAKER_00: So that's what's going to be interested.
41:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm interested in what you recall and what our guests
41:52
SPEAKER_00: who got interviewed will say about us.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: So I guess our author or co-author caught up with Don this past week.
42:02
SPEAKER_01: Okay, good.
42:03
SPEAKER_00: And I guess he gave him quite a bit of time.
42:06
SPEAKER_00: Oh, good.
42:07
SPEAKER_00: Because Don likes to talk.
42:09
SPEAKER_00: When he gets on a roll, he likes to talk.
42:12
SPEAKER_00: So apparently he gave our co-author quite an earful.
42:21
SPEAKER_01: So the book will be all Don with one paragraph by me and two by you.
42:25
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what he said or anything, but I'm looking forward to it.
42:29
SPEAKER_00: See what our friends have said about the classic metal show,
42:34
SPEAKER_00: that being,
42:35
SPEAKER_00: of course,
42:35
SPEAKER_00: Don and Stephen Percy and Nader DePriest and Jamie St.
42:40
SPEAKER_00: James and Ron Keel and Chipsenov.
42:45
SPEAKER_00: They've all participated in commentary on the book.
42:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm just anxious to get it going just because I have brand new intros
42:53
SPEAKER_01: and outros ready to go with the new logo.
42:56
SPEAKER_01: I have them all built,
42:57
SPEAKER_01: but I haven't used them because we haven't introduced that yet to the people,
43:03
SPEAKER_01: but they're so much better than the garbage that I'm using now.
43:07
SPEAKER_01: I just like them a whole lot better.
43:09
SPEAKER_01: I need to send them to you.
43:10
SPEAKER_01: I should stop with them.
43:12
SPEAKER_01: Well, I know Neely will like it.
43:13
SPEAKER_01: Fuck, I don't care.
43:15
SPEAKER_01: I should actually send you some shit that I'm doing, but I think you'll like it.
43:19
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of seizure-inducing a little bit.
43:24
SPEAKER_01: It's, it's pretty cool.
43:25
SPEAKER_01: I think it's cool.
43:27
SPEAKER_01: And it's short,
43:28
SPEAKER_01: you know,
43:28
SPEAKER_01: it's much shorter than the,
43:31
SPEAKER_01: the one we currently have with the,
43:33
SPEAKER_01: I call it the drum intro with the big drum and it's flipping around and all that.
43:39
SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
43:40
SPEAKER_01: I actually stopped using that one about three months ago,
43:42
SPEAKER_01: just because it's too long.
43:44
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's by, by the time they get to the first segment, it's like already a minute in.
43:49
SPEAKER_01: And I noticed from our stats that we're just losing.
43:53
SPEAKER_01: Half the audience,
43:54
SPEAKER_01: because they get in there and they see that long intro and they're like,
43:56
SPEAKER_01: fuck this, I'm out.
43:58
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
43:59
SPEAKER_01: So I shortened down to the one that I was using for best ofs for now,
44:04
SPEAKER_01: just because I know we got new ones coming anyway.
44:09
SPEAKER_01: Right.
44:10
SPEAKER_01: Trying to grow this goddamn show a little bit.
44:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no shit.
44:12
SPEAKER_00: After 30 years, it's about time we start growing this show.
44:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:16
SPEAKER_01: Putting in a little effort finally.
44:19
SPEAKER_00: Been on cruise control for 30 fucking years, but now it's
44:22
SPEAKER_01: time to get going.
44:23
SPEAKER_00: Right.
44:24
SPEAKER_00: Because we don't want the dirt truck to get bigger than the classic metal.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
44:29
SPEAKER_01: Well, they already are,
44:30
SPEAKER_00: aren't they?
44:30
SPEAKER_00: Because we're going to do some work with the Talking Metal guys.
44:33
SPEAKER_00: Talking Metal.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: How'd that all work out?
44:38
SPEAKER_00: That old clip that I pulled for the intro that just made me laugh.
44:43
SPEAKER_00: We're going to do some work.
44:44
SPEAKER_01: We're going to do some work.
44:45
SPEAKER_00: And get bigger than the classic metal show.
44:48
SPEAKER_00: Who?
44:48
SPEAKER_01: Who?
44:53
SPEAKER_00: Where did the Rev go?
44:54
SPEAKER_00: What happened to him?
44:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he's still out there doing something dumb.
44:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:00
SPEAKER_00: What happened to his black metal coffee?
45:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, coffee radio or whatever that shit was.
45:06
SPEAKER_01: Whatever that was.
45:09
SPEAKER_01: He's going to break an unsigned band.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: Right.
45:12
SPEAKER_01: All right, bro.
45:14
SPEAKER_01: Have at it.
45:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he was doing promotion for, that was the fun, because I would get those.
45:22
SPEAKER_01: I guess he didn't realize that it was me and he kept me on his mailing list.
45:26
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
45:27
SPEAKER_01: And every single time it was like just the worst bands.
45:31
SPEAKER_01: It's like, hey, Disgusting Jesus is looking for press.
45:37
SPEAKER_01: Oh, are they?
45:39
SPEAKER_01: It's like just the worst fucking bands.
45:42
SPEAKER_00: What was the name of his promotional thing?
45:45
SPEAKER_01: Dark Black Coffee or something?
45:47
SPEAKER_01: Black Coffee.
45:48
SPEAKER_01: Black Coffee Stain or something?
45:50
SPEAKER_01: I don't remember.
45:51
SPEAKER_00: It was just a weird thing.
45:53
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
45:53
SPEAKER_01: Well, it fits with everything else that Jake Bannerman did with all his dumb books
46:00
SPEAKER_01: and everything.
46:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:04
SPEAKER_00: Just a goofy guy.
46:05
SPEAKER_01: Just a dork.
46:07
SPEAKER_01: He is.
46:08
SPEAKER_01: He's just a dork.
46:09
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
46:11
SPEAKER_00: Got the desire, but no direction.
46:15
SPEAKER_01: And he's not good at it.
46:19
SPEAKER_01: No.
46:19
SPEAKER_01: I wonder how much he's used that education that he paid for for three years at
46:24
SPEAKER_01: the School of Broadcasting.
46:26
SPEAKER_00: Right.
46:27
SPEAKER_01: You know,
46:27
SPEAKER_01: he's probably still mopping floors at the local Denny's or whatever it was
46:31
SPEAKER_01: that he was doing.
46:33
SPEAKER_00: You got your cans on?
46:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, my cans.
46:36
SPEAKER_00: You got your cans on.
46:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
46:39
SPEAKER_00: Wait, you couldn't look across the room and see that you got his canvas.
46:43
SPEAKER_01: Well, it's because Ray was low because he was sitting in one
46:46
SPEAKER_01: of those fucking outside
46:49
SPEAKER_00: chairs, lawn chair.
46:51
SPEAKER_00: Lawn chair doing with his sandwich at his foot.
46:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
46:57
SPEAKER_01: Keep it from sliding down in the chair by putting his foot on the sandwich.
47:01
SPEAKER_01: Fucking Ray.
47:02
SPEAKER_01: That was so goofy, man.
47:04
SPEAKER_01: The best, though, was when Ray tried to do the show without...
47:08
SPEAKER_01: The Rev.
47:09
SPEAKER_01: As bad as The Rev was, Ray Solo was way worse.
47:14
SPEAKER_00: And he had his chick with him.
47:16
SPEAKER_01: He had his chick with him, too.
47:17
SPEAKER_00: Oof, that was so bad.
47:19
SPEAKER_00: What did he call her?
47:20
SPEAKER_00: Black Metal Princess or something like that?
47:22
SPEAKER_01: I think the Black Metal Babe.
47:24
SPEAKER_00: Black Metal Babe?
47:25
SPEAKER_00: Wasn't she the Black Metal Babe?
47:27
SPEAKER_00: Something like that.
47:28
SPEAKER_00: It was just kind of weird.
47:30
SPEAKER_00: But I think one of the funniest things, among the many funny things we did, was...
47:37
SPEAKER_00: When he was announcing that they were going to have a website and
47:40
SPEAKER_00: that they were going to get the domain name, Beer Chicks and Politics.
47:45
SPEAKER_00: And I logged into my GoDaddy account and snatched it right up immediately.
47:51
SPEAKER_01: And within like a day, I had it pointed to Lemon Party.
47:56
SPEAKER_01: You were like, put this somewhere.
47:58
SPEAKER_01: I just remember you calling me the next morning.
48:01
SPEAKER_01: You're like, can you make this go somewhere?
48:03
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh, yeah.
48:04
SPEAKER_01: Was it meat spin?
48:06
SPEAKER_01: I think it was lemon party.
48:08
SPEAKER_00: Was it lemon party?
48:10
SPEAKER_01: I mean, neither is good.
48:12
SPEAKER_01: But I mean, 80-year-old guys blowing themselves was so brutal.
48:18
SPEAKER_01: And you're right.
48:19
SPEAKER_01: Go ahead with your story because you'll remember the word for word a whole lot better than me.
48:24
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, those crafty guys over there at the classic metal show.
48:29
SPEAKER_00: And then he's got booze, news, and what was it?
48:33
SPEAKER_00: Coups.
48:34
SPEAKER_01: Booze, coups, and news.
48:39
SPEAKER_00: Beer, chicks, and politics.
48:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
48:46
SPEAKER_00: What a dork.
48:51
SPEAKER_00: Just grab that domain up like right away.
48:54
SPEAKER_01: Well, he was so dumb to just say it.
48:57
SPEAKER_01: Like we couldn't do the same thing he did for $12.
49:01
SPEAKER_01: Right.
49:02
SPEAKER_01: It was worth it.
49:03
SPEAKER_01: Look, we did so many fun things at that dude.
49:06
SPEAKER_01: Remember, he couldn't stop kissing, what's her name, Maria from In This Moment's ass.
49:13
SPEAKER_00: And we had Maria made a mean ID.
49:16
SPEAKER_01: Well, I did a whole interview just to get the ID.
49:19
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even want to interview her.
49:21
SPEAKER_01: But I did a whole interview just to get the ID,
49:25
SPEAKER_01: and the ID was, hey,
49:26
SPEAKER_01: it's Maria from In This Moment,
49:28
SPEAKER_01: and you're listening to the worst show on the internet, Dirt Talk.
49:33
SPEAKER_01: And she's like, that sounds mean.
49:35
SPEAKER_01: I was like, oh, no, no, it's just a joke.
49:37
SPEAKER_01: And I literally went with that.
49:38
SPEAKER_01: It's like Opie and Anthony, how they do the worst of.
49:40
SPEAKER_01: I was like, same thing.
49:42
SPEAKER_01: That's what we do here.
49:43
SPEAKER_01: And she just rolled with it.
49:45
SPEAKER_01: And then I just called it and left it on his voicemail.
49:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was all about in this moment.
49:53
SPEAKER_00: He was all in on job for a cowboy.
49:56
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah, job for a cowboy too, yeah.

51:52

52:03
SPEAKER_01: And I mean, your questions were fucking so outstanding.
52:06
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it was.
52:08
SPEAKER_00: Because I actually wrote them out.
52:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it was so funny.
52:12
SPEAKER_00: Just adding like a litany of facts to something.
52:16
SPEAKER_01: About something that asked something totally different.
52:18
SPEAKER_00: And asking a totally unrelated question.
52:21
SPEAKER_00: Like I was leading up to something with all these things.
52:24
SPEAKER_00: And I ask a question that has nothing to do with what I just talked about.
52:28
SPEAKER_01: You're like, you're.
52:29
SPEAKER_01: You broadcast for years out of Pittston, Pennsylvania.

SPEAKER_01: Established in 1938 by, you know,
52:37
SPEAKER_00: blah, blah, blah.
52:40
SPEAKER_01: Alligator pits or whatever, you know, like this whole thing.
52:42
SPEAKER_01: And then you'd be like, Shadow, how do you feel about CB radio?
52:47
SPEAKER_01: It was like, what the fuck are you doing?
52:50
SPEAKER_01: And this guy would get, remember, he got so mad at you.
52:53
SPEAKER_01: And then he wouldn't even say your name at the end.
52:55
SPEAKER_01: He was like, I want to thank you, Chris.
52:57
SPEAKER_01: Thank you, Chris.
52:58
SPEAKER_00: Ignoring me, kept trying to ignore me.
53:03
SPEAKER_01: That was a fun one.
53:04
SPEAKER_01: Dude, me and you,

SPEAKER_01: that was one of those, as soon as he hung up, you and I just stayed on laughing.
53:11

53:11
SPEAKER_01: For probably fucking 30 minutes, just laughing at how funny that shit was.
53:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
53:17
SPEAKER_00: That was so good.
53:19
SPEAKER_00: And he also was the traffic guy on the show.
53:24
SPEAKER_00: The Scranton, Pennsylvania morning show, Rusty Fender.
53:29
SPEAKER_00: Rusty Fender.
53:30
SPEAKER_00: He was Rusty Fender.
53:31

SPEAKER_00: Let's check in with traffic with Rusty Fender.
53:37
SPEAKER_00: God, we had some fun with that dude.
53:39
SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God.
53:40
SPEAKER_01: Him and his bad podcast, Mad Pod.
53:43
SPEAKER_01: Mad Pod.
53:44
SPEAKER_01: Mad Pod.
53:45
SPEAKER_00: What was his guy who did the intro for him?
53:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't remember what his name was, but...
53:52
SPEAKER_01: He had a good voice, but he wasn't any better.
53:56
SPEAKER_01: No.
53:57
SPEAKER_01: He would just turn it over to Shadow,
53:58
SPEAKER_01: and Shadow would be like, today we are speaking with Sammy Hagar.
54:03
SPEAKER_01: Sammy, you were born in 1942 in Elizabethtown, New Jersey.
54:10
SPEAKER_01: Sammy, what is it like to join Van Halen?
54:12
SPEAKER_01: It's
54:14
SPEAKER_00: like, what?
54:15
SPEAKER_01: What?
54:19
SPEAKER_00: Well, we cover some of that stuff in the upcoming book.
54:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:25
SPEAKER_00: So I talked about that stuff in the book and made mention of those, a few of those things.
54:32
SPEAKER_00: So just reliving some of the past silliness that both Chris and I have participated
54:40
SPEAKER_00: in during the tenure of the show.
54:43
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
54:43
SPEAKER_01: Well, Dirt Talk and Shadowsteel and Kay and Abby...
54:48
SPEAKER_01: And even Talking Metal, I would say that was the heyday of the show.
54:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, of course.
54:54
SPEAKER_01: That was, I mean, we were on fire every show, every second.
54:59
SPEAKER_00: And any of the podcasts that you found on, what was that?
55:05
SPEAKER_00: Blog Talk Radio.
55:07
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, Blog Talk Radio.
55:08
SPEAKER_00: There you are.
55:09
SPEAKER_00: That was just a haven of goodness.
55:11
SPEAKER_00: Blog Talk Radio.
55:13
SPEAKER_00: There was so much goodness going on.
55:15
SPEAKER_00: You do it over your phone.
55:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because that's better.
55:19
SPEAKER_01: And they'd get these guys, they'd be on, and they'd be on for like five minutes.
55:23
SPEAKER_01: They'd be like, oh my God, 43 minutes to go.
55:25
SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, we pissed off that guy, Big Mike.
55:29
SPEAKER_01: Big Mike, yeah.
55:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
55:32
SPEAKER_00: Talk about going to the movies and theater and trying to find the right seat.
55:36
SPEAKER_00: Right.
55:40
SPEAKER_00: Well, if you've been a longtime listener of the CMS,
55:42
SPEAKER_00: some of these stories might ring a bell with you.
55:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
55:46
SPEAKER_01: If you follow us on Rumble or stuff,
55:48
SPEAKER_01: I've been moving a lot of that stuff over to Rumble,
55:50
SPEAKER_01: so make sure you go look because a lot of that stuff is out there.
55:56
SPEAKER_01: I moved a Doro interview this week from 2012.
56:00
SPEAKER_01: Wow.
56:02
SPEAKER_01: It's like, man, how many interviews have we done with Doro?
56:06
SPEAKER_01: Doro might be up there with Jeff Tate.
56:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, she's been on the show at least.
56:13
SPEAKER_00: At least eight, maybe ten times.
56:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, she's been on a lot.
56:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've interviewed her just since the pandemic, I think five different times.
56:24
SPEAKER_00: Really?
56:24
SPEAKER_00: That many?
56:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because she's always doing stuff.
56:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
56:29
SPEAKER_00: Well, you got to give it to her.
56:31
SPEAKER_00: She's nonstop.
56:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she put out a god-awful
56:36
SPEAKER_01: song this week.
56:38
SPEAKER_01: She did a cover of Go Your Own Way, the Fleetwood Mac song.
56:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
56:44
SPEAKER_01: Her and Joel Holkstra.
56:47
SPEAKER_01: Two people I like, and that's just...
56:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe we'll check it out later in the show.
56:53
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
56:54
SPEAKER_01: We can definitely do it.
56:54
SPEAKER_01: I got a lot of music to check out tonight, that's for sure.
56:57
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm glad you have a good list of things because I have been remiss this week
57:03
SPEAKER_00: on having too many notes to myself.
57:06
SPEAKER_00: I got tons and tons and tons.
57:09
SPEAKER_00: All right.
57:11
SPEAKER_00: Well,
57:12
SPEAKER_00: I say we take a break and then we'll get into your tons and tons and tons of stuff
57:17
SPEAKER_00: and stuff and stuff.
57:18
SPEAKER_01: All right.
57:19
SPEAKER_00: Sounds good to me.
57:20
SPEAKER_00: All right.
57:21
SPEAKER_00: All right.
57:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, as always,
57:23
SPEAKER_00: I will be playing your tunes that you request by way of the locals page on
57:28
SPEAKER_00: the FastPass.
57:29
SPEAKER_00: That's kind of a little thank you to the people who support us with your hard-earned bucks.
57:35
SPEAKER_00: And you get to request a song on a Saturday night.
57:39
SPEAKER_00: And I see there's quite a few requests in there already.
57:42
SPEAKER_00: But lead the charge.
57:45
SPEAKER_00: I will let Chris pick the song to get us going.
57:48
SPEAKER_00: So what shall we play?
57:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go outside of even my normal box here a little bit,
57:53
SPEAKER_01: just because this is the anniversary of me finding out about this.
58:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm going with Eulogy from the band Tool, of course, from the Enema release.
58:06
SPEAKER_01: And the reason I'm going with that is I was reminded this week
58:09
SPEAKER_01: that this was like 10 years ago or whatever,
58:12
SPEAKER_01: was when I first found out that Maynard James Keenan had referenced my review of
58:18
SPEAKER_01: that record from Scene Magazine in his book.
58:21
SPEAKER_01: Nice.
58:22
SPEAKER_01: It's the most goofy thing ever.
58:23
SPEAKER_01: It's like, you know, Matt Wardlaw sent that to me, sent me like a screenshot of it.
58:28
SPEAKER_01: He's like, did you know that you were in Maynard's book?
58:31
SPEAKER_01: And I looked and sure enough,
58:32
SPEAKER_01: he had some quote about this is Thinking Man's Metal or something
58:35
SPEAKER_01: that I had just said.
58:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I remember that.
58:38
SPEAKER_01: And literally on the bottom of the page,
58:40
SPEAKER_01: it's like reference Chris Akin, Scene Magazine, whatever date.
58:43
SPEAKER_01: I was like, wow, I fucking made it to a book.
58:47
SPEAKER_01: It's pretty cool.
58:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
58:49
SPEAKER_00: Nice.
58:51
SPEAKER_00: All right.
58:52
SPEAKER_00: Well, we're going to jump into the tunes here.
58:54
SPEAKER_00: So here's Tool with Eulogy exclusively here.
58:59
SPEAKER_00: On your classic metal show.
59:13
SPEAKER_02: Hey, what's up, y'all?

SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:00:10
SPEAKER_00: That was kind of an interesting mix of tunes.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it was a little all over the place, but that's
1:00:15
SPEAKER_00: what we do here.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
1:00:17
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_00: So, anyway,
1:00:19
SPEAKER_00: we are into the second segment of the Classic Metal Show,
1:00:22
SPEAKER_00: so I'll let you take it away since you have tons and tons and tons of stuff to get
1:00:27
SPEAKER_00: to.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_01: I do, and before I even get into the actual guts of what I want to talk about,
1:00:32
SPEAKER_01: I did want to,
1:00:33
SPEAKER_01: I was going to mention it in the first segment, and I just kind of forgot, but...
1:00:37
SPEAKER_01: I know you specifically are always looking for music documentaries.
1:00:43
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:00:44
SPEAKER_01: I watched a really good one today about a guy that I really have zero interest
1:00:48
SPEAKER_01: in musically or with his celebrity life at all, but it was fucking great.
1:00:57
SPEAKER_01: It's on Hulu.
1:00:58
SPEAKER_01: I forget what it's called, but it's about the drummer from Blink-182, Travis Barker.
1:01:05
SPEAKER_01: It's like called Life with Travis or something.
1:01:07
SPEAKER_01: I don't remember what it was called.
1:01:09
SPEAKER_01: But one, I don't like Blink-182 at all.
1:01:12
SPEAKER_01: I just think that's fucking fake punk and I just don't dig that at all.
1:01:16
SPEAKER_01: That Green Day, you know, that fake bullshit.
1:01:20
SPEAKER_01: So I'm not a fan of that.
1:01:22
SPEAKER_01: And then he's married to Kourtney Kardashian and I'm really not a fan of her.
1:01:27
SPEAKER_01: I could give two fucks about the Kardashians as well.
1:01:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:01:31
SPEAKER_01: But man, this was a great documentary.
1:01:35
SPEAKER_01: I mean, really, really great documentary.
1:01:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you know his story at all,
1:01:40
SPEAKER_01: but he kind of came up and was like this great drummer in a world
1:01:46
SPEAKER_01: of average drummers and punk bands.
1:01:50
SPEAKER_01: And then Blink-182 hit, they got popular, he became a drug addict, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_01: But then he had a Buddy Holly moment where they had to fly on some ganked up plane.
1:02:04
SPEAKER_01: And they went up in the plane and the plane crashed.
1:02:06
SPEAKER_01: And, um,
1:02:08
SPEAKER_01: I think four of the six people on the plane got killed and he was one that survived,
1:02:13
SPEAKER_01: but he got burned really pretty badly.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:02:17
SPEAKER_01: Like, and this is where it got weird for me.
1:02:20
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying this is a highlight or a low light of this, um,
1:02:24
SPEAKER_01: Of this doc, I'm just saying that for me, it was like really a little close to home.
1:02:30
SPEAKER_01: He was burned 65% and I'm burned 69%.
1:02:34
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:02:36
SPEAKER_01: And they showed a whole lot of the stuff that he was going through,
1:02:40
SPEAKER_01: the surgeries and the equipment and shit that they use.
1:02:45
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, ooh, remember that?
1:02:47
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, remember that?
1:02:49
SPEAKER_01: I would imagine.
1:02:51
SPEAKER_01: I was like, damn, this is really close to home for me, seeing this part.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_01: And they concentrated on that for, I mean,
1:02:57
SPEAKER_01: it's obviously the sell of the documentary is that this guy was in a plane crash
1:03:04
SPEAKER_01: and burned up,
1:03:05
SPEAKER_01: but he still lived and went back on to reunite with Blink and marry a Kardashian
1:03:12
SPEAKER_01: and blah, blah, blah.
1:03:15
SPEAKER_01: All I got to say really is I won't get into too much about it because like I said,
1:03:18
SPEAKER_01: I'm not a huge fan of the music or anything.
1:03:21
SPEAKER_01: It's fucking great documentary.
1:03:22
SPEAKER_01: It's one I know you would like.
1:03:24
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
1:03:25
SPEAKER_01: Because it really dives deep.
1:03:28
SPEAKER_01: Like it's not like most of these surface level ones that you get most of the time.
1:03:33
SPEAKER_01: It's like, well,
1:03:34
SPEAKER_01: then they had success with this and they went on tour and they had a great time.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_01: So then they went right back to the studio and did another one.
1:03:41
SPEAKER_01: It's not like that at all.
1:03:42
SPEAKER_01: It deals with how fucked up he was as a human being.
1:03:46
SPEAKER_01: And his drug problems and the plane crash and how he tried to turn his life around
1:03:52
SPEAKER_01: and tried, failed, tried, failed, then figured it out.
1:03:57
SPEAKER_01: So great documentary.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_01: And again, I should probably be more prepared.
1:04:01
SPEAKER_01: It's on Hulu.
1:04:02
SPEAKER_01: Go to Hulu and look up Travis Barker.
1:04:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it's the only thing that'll come up.
1:04:07
SPEAKER_01: So that's a good one to watch if anybody's looking for something to watch.
1:04:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:04:14
SPEAKER_00: I did watch a documentary.
1:04:16
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what'd you watch?
1:04:17
SPEAKER_00: I watched The Preacher's Wife.
1:04:19
SPEAKER_00: Not familiar.
1:04:20
SPEAKER_00: The Pastor's Wife or The Preacher's Wife.
1:04:23
SPEAKER_00: What's it on?
1:04:24
SPEAKER_00: It's on Netflix.
1:04:25
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:04:26
SPEAKER_00: And it's a fucked up deal where a young up-and-coming church girl got involved with
1:04:35
SPEAKER_00: the pastor and And he was grooming her from the time she was a teenager.
1:04:41
SPEAKER_00: She was in the choir and stuff, and she was an attractive girl and stuff.
1:04:45
SPEAKER_00: And he was married, and he had a couple kids and whatever.
1:04:48
SPEAKER_00: And then he ended up grooming her, and they ended up having an affair and all this other shit.
1:04:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it was just so fucked up.
1:04:59
SPEAKER_00: But I won't give away the ending, but it just was... Bad, huh?
1:05:05
SPEAKER_00: It's just amazing how people get so caught up in shit.
1:05:13
SPEAKER_00: Rather than just see the light and see that this is not a good situation,
1:05:21
SPEAKER_00: they just roll with it.
1:05:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:05:26
SPEAKER_01: But a lot of times, and again, I have not even seen this documentary.
1:05:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm just making a blind assumption here.
1:05:33
SPEAKER_01: A lot of times...
1:05:35
SPEAKER_01: Pastors, preachers, there's a reason that so many fuck kids.
1:05:40
SPEAKER_01: And that reason is because they are treated almost with a higher regard than even their parents.
1:05:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:05:49
SPEAKER_00: And then that's what this thing was.
1:05:51
SPEAKER_00: This guy was so, you know, what do you want to call charismatic?
1:05:56
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
1:05:57
SPEAKER_00: And he was so into his beliefs and religion.
1:06:01
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
1:06:01
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
1:06:02
SPEAKER_00: And so on and so forth.
1:06:03
SPEAKER_00: And she got caught up in his magnetism.
1:06:08
SPEAKER_01: You know, that it's a recurring story, dude.
1:06:11
SPEAKER_01: Look at look at David Koresh.
1:06:14
SPEAKER_01: David Koresh had the women in there,
1:06:17
SPEAKER_01: told the husbands they couldn't fuck their wives anymore because he was going
1:06:20
SPEAKER_01: to be fucking them.
1:06:21
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:06:21
SPEAKER_01: And then told them that they weren't married to him anymore.
1:06:26
SPEAKER_01: And they just went with it.
1:06:27
SPEAKER_01: They're like, OK, well, you're.
1:06:29
SPEAKER_01: You're the new messiah.
1:06:31
SPEAKER_01: I'll gladly let my wife suck your dick, sir.
1:06:36
SPEAKER_01: But it happens.
1:06:37
SPEAKER_01: The Nexum cult.
1:06:38
SPEAKER_01: Remember when we were talking about the Nexum cult a year or two ago?
1:06:42
SPEAKER_01: Wasn't that the same thing, too?
1:06:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, very similar.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_01: Same thing.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_01: They all do it.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:06:47
SPEAKER_01: Jim Jones, I believe, was fucking some of his followers.
1:06:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, I was just going to bring that up as well.
1:06:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean.
1:06:55
SPEAKER_00: Bathe her and bring her to me.
1:06:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:06:59
SPEAKER_01: Oh, she doesn't want to come?
1:07:00
SPEAKER_01: Give her a glass of Kool-Aid.
1:07:01
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:07:03
SPEAKER_01: Gone with you!
1:07:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:07:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean,
1:07:07
SPEAKER_01: there's something about,
1:07:09
SPEAKER_01: and it has to be,
1:07:11
SPEAKER_01: that they are raised to absolutely worship their pastor, their priest, their leader.
1:07:19
SPEAKER_01: They mistake the leader of the church for the spiritual leader of their life.
1:07:25
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:07:26
SPEAKER_01: And as we've documented a million times,
1:07:30
SPEAKER_01: the people that are drawn to religion are the people that are fucked up.
1:07:34
SPEAKER_01: You don't see too many people that are coasting through a good life
1:07:37
SPEAKER_01: and having wealth and money and a great wife and a great job and all that.
1:07:42
SPEAKER_01: You don't see too many of them running to the church.
1:07:45
SPEAKER_01: It's usually the person that's like one step away from bankruptcy and just had
1:07:49
SPEAKER_01: a bout with lymphoma or something.
1:07:52
SPEAKER_01: It's like, I need Jesus to help me.
1:07:54
SPEAKER_01: And they're easy, easy prey.
1:07:56
SPEAKER_01: They're easy, easy prey.
1:07:59
SPEAKER_01: That's what always happens.
1:08:03
SPEAKER_01: What's it called?
1:08:04
SPEAKER_01: The Preacher's Wife?
1:08:05
SPEAKER_00: I think it's The Preacher's Wife.
1:08:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm going to have to watch that.
1:08:10
SPEAKER_00: It's brand new.
1:08:11
SPEAKER_00: It's on Netflix.
1:08:12
SPEAKER_00: I watched that this week.
1:08:13
SPEAKER_00: It was just like, oh, man.
1:08:16
SPEAKER_01: How could you be so dumb?
1:08:20
SPEAKER_01: But then again, if they're raised like that from birth, they don't know any better.
1:08:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, again, you know, they're very steeped in the church.
1:08:26
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, she sang in the choir as a kid.
1:08:29
SPEAKER_00: And she became, you know, like a youth leader.
1:08:34
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, he showed favor on her because she was so involved.
1:08:42
SPEAKER_01: Probably started when she was five years old, took her to the community pool or something.
1:08:46
SPEAKER_01: Here, put on this little bikini.
1:08:50
SPEAKER_01: Fucking pastors are creeps.
1:08:52
SPEAKER_01: Almost all of them.
1:08:54
SPEAKER_01: Almost, I mean,
1:08:55
SPEAKER_01: dude, there was a church I went to, I'm going to be careful at what I say on this.
1:09:01
SPEAKER_01: There was a church when I was a youth that I used to visit on occasion.
1:09:08
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't my normal church that was like right behind my house,
1:09:11
SPEAKER_01: but it was a church that I went to on occasion.
1:09:14
SPEAKER_01: I was real into church.
1:09:16
SPEAKER_01: Believe it or not.
1:09:31
SPEAKER_02: So what are you waiting for?

1:09:36
SPEAKER_02: As much as I'm the fuck you man and the porn guy now,
1:09:38
SPEAKER_02: when I was a kid, I really was interested in religion.
1:09:41
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:09:41
SPEAKER_02: And...
1:09:59
SPEAKER_01: I got baptized numerous times on my own, not because my parents forced me to do it.
1:10:07
SPEAKER_01: My mom and dad were not into it.
1:10:09
SPEAKER_01: Most of the time when I would go to church,
1:10:11
SPEAKER_01: it was with other families and stuff because my parents weren't going
1:10:15
SPEAKER_01: to no fucking church.
1:10:16
SPEAKER_01: But at this one church in particular,
1:10:22
SPEAKER_01: by the time I turned about 14 or 15,
1:10:25
SPEAKER_01: the pastor just all of a sudden wasn't there anymore.
1:10:28
SPEAKER_01: Right,
1:10:29
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:10:53
SPEAKER_01: But I would say religion is one of those places where the freaks that want
1:10:59
SPEAKER_01: to fuck kids know that they can have an easier time doing it.
1:11:06
SPEAKER_01: You know, they can have a lot easier time.
1:11:08
SPEAKER_01: Same with teachers.
1:11:09
SPEAKER_01: Same reason teachers do
1:11:10
SPEAKER_00: it all the time.
1:11:11
SPEAKER_00: Well, they're put in a place of trust.
1:11:13
SPEAKER_00: A place of trust, a place of power.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and then they abuse that, obviously.
1:11:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:11:18
SPEAKER_00: I mean, we know what Judge Akin would say about this.
1:11:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, not guilty on all counts, but...
1:11:24
SPEAKER_00: Oh, the name of the thing is called Death of the Pastor's Wife.
1:11:28
SPEAKER_00: Death of the Pastor.
1:11:29
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:11:29
SPEAKER_01: I will check that out tomorrow.
1:11:32
SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
1:11:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:11:34
SPEAKER_01: A couple of good documentaries, I guess, for people.
1:11:36
SPEAKER_01: If you want to watch a guy getting burned in a plane or you want to watch a pastor fucking kids.
1:11:41
SPEAKER_01: We got you covered here on the CMS.
1:11:44
SPEAKER_00: He didn't, you know, bang her when she was underage.
1:11:49
SPEAKER_00: Allegedly.
1:11:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, he started up an affair with her.
1:11:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:11:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, when she was like 18 or something like that.
1:11:58
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:11:59
SPEAKER_00: So.
1:12:01
SPEAKER_01: That's wild.
1:12:02
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
1:12:04
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:12:05
SPEAKER_01: Let's get into some equally awful topic, but at least we're in music.
1:12:10
SPEAKER_01: Because I know that's what people want to hear, some music talk.
1:12:13
SPEAKER_01: So let's talk some music.
1:12:16
SPEAKER_01: I want to go back to a story we did,
1:12:18
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, a month or two ago, when John Karabi left the Dead Daisies, I guess.
1:12:26
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:12:28
SPEAKER_01: So that happened, and it is what it is.
1:12:31
SPEAKER_01: And obviously,
1:12:33
SPEAKER_01: Glenn Hughes is now not in the Dead Daisies because he's having heart issues
1:12:37
SPEAKER_01: of his own and blah, blah, blah.
1:12:40
SPEAKER_01: But Karabi put out, he did an interview with Rock Show Critique, which I'm not familiar with.
1:12:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying it's bad or good.
1:12:50
SPEAKER_01: I just am not familiar with it.
1:12:53
SPEAKER_01: But he did an interview with them, and he was asked about this topic again.
1:12:59
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, man.
1:13:02
SPEAKER_01: I'll read you what he said.
1:13:04
SPEAKER_01: You tell me if he's now...
1:13:08
SPEAKER_01: Boxed himself into a corner and trying to get himself out of it or not.
1:13:13
SPEAKER_01: Not that I think he gives two fucks because it is the dead days.
1:13:16
SPEAKER_01: He's not Motley Crue.
1:13:18
SPEAKER_01: But I don't know about this.
1:13:23
SPEAKER_01: This explanation, I was actually okay with the, well, I don't know what happened.
1:13:27
SPEAKER_01: Onward we go explanation.
1:13:29
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:13:30
SPEAKER_01: You know, that was all we needed to hear.
1:13:33
SPEAKER_01: But now that he's putting some quote unquote facts to it,
1:13:38
SPEAKER_01: I'm really starting to think that the element that fucked up is him.
1:13:45
SPEAKER_01: And it could very well be.
1:13:46
SPEAKER_01: It might be.
1:13:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean,
1:13:48
SPEAKER_01: I don't think we'll ever know for sure because clearly they're not all telling
1:13:52
SPEAKER_01: the same story.
1:13:53
SPEAKER_01: But I just want to read you this clip from Karabi.
1:13:58
SPEAKER_01: In a new interview with Joe Soto of Rock Show Critique,
1:14:02
SPEAKER_01: former Motley, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
1:14:06
SPEAKER_01: He was asked about leaving the band two months ago.
1:14:10
SPEAKER_01: Here's what he said.
1:14:11
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:14:12
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
1:14:13
SPEAKER_01: Honestly,
1:14:14
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to get into a bunch of mudslinging,
1:14:17
SPEAKER_01: but at the end of the day,
1:14:18
SPEAKER_01: I was told,
1:14:20
SPEAKER_01: and my bass player was told,
1:14:22
SPEAKER_01: because Michael Devin,
1:14:25
SPEAKER_01: now former Dead Daisies bassist and current member of Karabi Solo Band,
1:14:30
SPEAKER_01: actually played with me in the Daisies as well.
1:14:34
SPEAKER_01: And we were told that we were taking a year off.
1:14:38
SPEAKER_01: We did record a live album last year at the last show that we did,
1:14:44
SPEAKER_01: which was called Live at Stone Dead.
1:14:47
SPEAKER_01: And in the same conversation, the manager said, we're taking a year off.
1:14:52
SPEAKER_01: And he said, hey, we recorded the last show.
1:14:56
SPEAKER_01: We're going to create a link.
1:14:57
SPEAKER_01: We're going to put it on Spotify and For all of our fans who weren't there
1:15:01
SPEAKER_01: and couldn't be there.
1:15:03
SPEAKER_01: A kind of free thing to the fans.
1:15:06
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know what changed.
1:15:09
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't tell you what's in his mind, the manager.
1:15:14
SPEAKER_01: But there were some issues that he did speak to my manager about.
1:15:19
SPEAKER_01: And then my solo band and I went over to Europe in February and we got back from there.
1:15:25
SPEAKER_01: And it was weird.
1:15:26
SPEAKER_01: It was right about the time I put the record out for presale.
1:15:30
SPEAKER_01: It was shortly after that I started noticing the Dead Daisies were asking me
1:15:34
SPEAKER_01: to collaborate on their presale.
1:15:37
SPEAKER_01: And he stresses their presale.
1:15:41
SPEAKER_01: And I looked at Michael and said, did you know about this record that they're doing?
1:15:48
SPEAKER_01: And he goes, what?
1:15:49
SPEAKER_01: He had no idea.
1:15:51
SPEAKER_01: I had no idea.
1:15:52
SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm going to stop there before I read the rest of this.
1:15:56
SPEAKER_01: He did have an idea.
1:15:57
SPEAKER_01: He just said it two seconds ago.
1:15:59
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:16:00
SPEAKER_01: That they told him that they were doing it.
1:16:02
SPEAKER_01: They just said it was going to be free.
1:16:06
SPEAKER_01: And maybe I'm crazy, but couldn't that have just changed in a business decision?
1:16:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:16:15
SPEAKER_01: We just decided that we're going to release it for some sort of commercial sale instead of free.
1:16:21
SPEAKER_01: I mean, is that unusual or uncommon?
1:16:27
SPEAKER_00: Well, again, I don't know what's the guy who owns Dead Daisies.
1:16:31
SPEAKER_00: What's his name?
1:16:32
SPEAKER_00: David Lowy.
1:16:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:16:34
SPEAKER_00: Again, not knowing what his
1:16:40
SPEAKER_00: motivation is to have this Dead Daisies.
1:16:44
SPEAKER_00: Maybe he's not interested in a commercial aspect of releasing a live album
1:16:50
SPEAKER_00: for profit or gain or anything.
1:16:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:16:53
SPEAKER_01: Or maybe he wasn't at first,
1:16:55
SPEAKER_01: but whoever manages the business was like,
1:16:57
SPEAKER_01: hold on, we're not going to just give this away.
1:17:00
SPEAKER_01: I mean, it could have been that too.
1:17:02
SPEAKER_01: My point is
1:17:05
SPEAKER_01: the fact that they're asking Karabi to participate in the promotion kind
1:17:11
SPEAKER_01: of very clearly says what they're doing.
1:17:13
SPEAKER_01: So to say that he didn't know what they were doing just doesn't feel honest.
1:17:19
SPEAKER_00: Does it to you?
1:17:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:17:21
SPEAKER_00: And again, you don't know.
1:17:24
SPEAKER_00: Two, that, well, what's my compensation for doing this?
1:17:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:17:31
SPEAKER_00: And they may not,
1:17:32
SPEAKER_00: he may think that he's owed some,
1:17:35
SPEAKER_00: you know, compensation for participation and maybe that that's an issue.
1:17:44
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
1:17:45
SPEAKER_00: You know, and it's just like, well, I'm not doing this for nothing, you know.
1:17:51
SPEAKER_01: Well, he would still get, A piece of whatever they sell, whatever his contract is.
1:17:55
SPEAKER_00: You assume that.
1:17:56
SPEAKER_00: True.
1:17:57
SPEAKER_00: You assume that.
1:18:00
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:18:02
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
1:18:02
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't know.
1:18:04
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure it's all business related.
1:18:07
SPEAKER_00: It's something that we'll never know for sure.
1:18:10
SPEAKER_00: But I'm sure it's just like, well, I'm not going to.
1:18:12
SPEAKER_00: And again, I don't even know.
1:18:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm just speculating.
1:18:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:18:16
SPEAKER_00: This has to do with.
1:18:18
SPEAKER_00: You know, what's my piece of this thing?
1:18:22
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, well, there really isn't because we already have a contract with you.
1:18:28
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:18:29
SPEAKER_00: To do the shows and whatever, and that should cover this too.
1:18:36
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
1:18:37
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:18:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:18:40
SPEAKER_00: And again, Karabi might think he's due...
1:18:43
SPEAKER_00: Something in addition to, and again, I don't know that.
1:18:46
SPEAKER_00: I'm just speculating that maybe this could be a problem between Karabi and the band.
1:18:56
SPEAKER_01: Could be.
1:18:56
SPEAKER_01: And you're probably right on it.
1:18:58
SPEAKER_01: Maybe he wanted to get paid if he's going to do, you know, two days of interviews.
1:19:03
SPEAKER_01: He wants to be paid $500 or whatever to do it.
1:19:06
SPEAKER_01: Could be.
1:19:08
SPEAKER_01: You know, you'd think he'd want to promote something he sang on, but...
1:19:13
SPEAKER_01: Again, I guess it is business.
1:19:15
SPEAKER_01: It's not, hey, we're in a band.
1:19:16
SPEAKER_01: This is the coolest thing ever, man.
1:19:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:19:21
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:19:21
SPEAKER_01: I'll read a little more of what he had to say.
1:19:25
SPEAKER_01: Again, without going into details,
1:19:27
SPEAKER_01: a lot of people think I left because the Dead Daisies were doing shows
1:19:32
SPEAKER_01: with Glenn Hughes.
1:19:34
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't give a shit less about that.
1:19:37
SPEAKER_01: I could care less.
1:19:39
SPEAKER_01: This was about the fact that for some reason,
1:19:41
SPEAKER_01: whatever it was, they said, we're taking a year off.
1:19:44
SPEAKER_01: They decided to put that link out that we were going to give to everybody for free.
1:19:51
SPEAKER_01: We were going to give it to everybody for free.
1:19:54
SPEAKER_01: They decided to make vinyl out of it,
1:19:56
SPEAKER_01: and then they decided to put the record out on the exact same time as mine.
1:20:02
SPEAKER_01: And my record came out April 24th.
1:20:04
SPEAKER_01: Their record came out May 1st.
1:20:07
SPEAKER_01: And I just said, you know what?
1:20:09
SPEAKER_01: Honestly, did I leave the band?
1:20:12
SPEAKER_01: I said, yes, because they kept moving the goalpost.
1:20:16
SPEAKER_01: So I wrote David Lowy a letter and said, I don't understand why you guys are doing this.
1:20:23
SPEAKER_01: You said this, you said this, this and this, and the complete opposite is happening.
1:20:30
SPEAKER_01: So I don't do business this way.
1:20:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm out.
1:20:33
SPEAKER_01: Talk to you later.
1:20:33
SPEAKER_01: Bye.
1:20:34
SPEAKER_01: And that was it.
1:20:35
SPEAKER_01: Done and whatever.
1:20:37
SPEAKER_01: They put out a press release that said I was leaving.
1:20:40
SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
1:20:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:20:42
SPEAKER_00: So it sounds like he voluntarily quit because it conflicted with his solo stuff.
1:20:51
SPEAKER_01: I guess.
1:20:52
SPEAKER_00: You know?
1:20:54
SPEAKER_00: So it was just a disagreement in direction or whatever the case may be.
1:21:01
SPEAKER_00: And He may have felt that, you know, the Dead Daisies were overshadowing his solo record.
1:21:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:21:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I don't know John that well.
1:21:14
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I've obviously interviewed him a bunch of times and,
1:21:17
SPEAKER_01: you know, written a book about the Motley record that he did and whatever.
1:21:22
SPEAKER_01: So I know him a little bit, but I don't know him.
1:21:26
SPEAKER_01: Am I crazy in thinking that if this all is indeed the problem, that this is a big overreaction?
1:21:33
SPEAKER_00: Well, again, you know, they always say let cooler heads prevail.
1:21:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:21:40
SPEAKER_00: Well, that could have been like a knee-jerk action.
1:21:43
SPEAKER_00: Like maybe he was told, well, you know, we're going to put this out, blah, blah, blah.
1:21:49
SPEAKER_00: He goes, oh, well,
1:21:50
SPEAKER_00: since we're taking a year off, I'm going to do this and I'm going to put this out.
1:21:53
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, oh, well, we're putting this out at the same time you're putting your thing out.
1:21:58
SPEAKER_00: Could you participate in our promotion?
1:22:01
SPEAKER_00: Well, no, I'm going to be promoting my own thing.
1:22:04
SPEAKER_00: Why are you simultaneously releasing this the same time that I'm putting something out?
1:22:10
SPEAKER_01: And I get that.
1:22:11
SPEAKER_01: I agree with that point.
1:22:14
SPEAKER_01: I'm just thinking that this is the kind of shit
1:22:17
SPEAKER_01: that could have probably been sorted out on a Zoom call.
1:22:20
SPEAKER_01: Probably.
1:22:21
SPEAKER_01: Instead of a, well, if you do that, I'm fucking out of here.
1:22:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, maybe he wasn't happy with the situation with the dead daisies to begin with.
1:22:30
SPEAKER_00: And that could be.
1:22:31
SPEAKER_00: He just looking for a reason to, you know.
1:22:35
SPEAKER_01: But why wouldn't he say that?
1:22:36
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't know.
1:22:37
SPEAKER_01: Do you think he looks bad here?
1:22:39
SPEAKER_00: I think he looks bad here.
1:22:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, again, everything's still a little bit convoluted.
1:22:44
SPEAKER_00: And again, I am not a fan of, well, I have to air it out for everybody to, you know, mice.
1:22:51
SPEAKER_00: Who cares?
1:22:52
SPEAKER_00: I'm out of the dead daisies.
1:22:54
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:22:54
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
1:22:55
SPEAKER_01: And that should have probably been his answer to this guy when he asked the question.
1:22:59
SPEAKER_00: I don't like how people feel as if they have to take this to the court of public opinion.
1:23:04
SPEAKER_00: I say this all the time.
1:23:06
SPEAKER_00: Just like it's none of your business.
1:23:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm not in the dead daisies now.
1:23:10
SPEAKER_00: I'm doing my solo thing.
1:23:12
SPEAKER_01: Do you want to talk to me about my solo
1:23:14
SPEAKER_00: record or not?
1:23:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:23:15
SPEAKER_00: And that's it.
1:23:16
SPEAKER_00: Everybody doesn't need to know everything.
1:23:19
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:23:21
SPEAKER_01: But there's that part where they want to see their name out on Blabbermouth and on
1:23:28
SPEAKER_01: the sites and whatever, too.
1:23:29
SPEAKER_01: That's what rock stars do.
1:23:32
SPEAKER_01: They're always looking for that next headline, that next marquee, as they say.
1:23:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:23:39
SPEAKER_01: So you're with me, though?
1:23:40
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't look good here?
1:23:42
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:23:43
SPEAKER_00: Again...
1:23:46
SPEAKER_00: I just think he should have just left it at this, well, I don't know what happened.
1:23:50
SPEAKER_00: I don't know, you know, this acting like he's completely surprised and blindsided by all this.
1:23:57
SPEAKER_00: But, you know, with these statements that he's making now, he totally knows what happened.
1:24:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:24:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he definitely knows.
1:24:05
SPEAKER_01: He knows.
1:24:06
SPEAKER_01: He just doesn't want to say it for some reason.
1:24:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:24:10
SPEAKER_01: Might be an NDA.
1:24:11
SPEAKER_01: Could be.
1:24:13
SPEAKER_01: Dead Daisies.
1:24:14
SPEAKER_01: We've never heard.
1:24:15
SPEAKER_01: They've had 43 members come out of that band.
1:24:17
SPEAKER_01: We've never heard one guy say anything.
1:24:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:24:21
SPEAKER_01: So it might be an NDA.
1:24:22
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:24:23
SPEAKER_00: You got paid for your services while you were here.
1:24:25
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:24:27
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:24:28
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's that.
1:24:28
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:24:30
SPEAKER_01: Now I want to play a game with you.
1:24:31
SPEAKER_01: Just a quick game.
1:24:32
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:24:33
SPEAKER_01: Let me pull this up.
1:24:34
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:24:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to put a picture on the screen here in a second.
1:24:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:24:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:24:42
SPEAKER_01: I want you to tell me who this band is.
1:24:45
SPEAKER_01: I purposely blacked out one of the members because it would be a dead giveaway.
1:24:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:24:51
SPEAKER_01: I'll even give you a hint.
1:24:54
SPEAKER_01: This is a band that has sold somewhere in the realm of 80 to 90 million records.
1:25:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:25:04
SPEAKER_01: And I'm betting you can't tell me who this fucking band is.
1:25:08
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:25:10
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:25:11
SPEAKER_01: All right, so let me pop this in here.
1:25:13
SPEAKER_01: Here's the band.
1:25:15
SPEAKER_01: Go to screen share.
1:25:18
SPEAKER_01: Do you know who this band is?
1:25:24
SPEAKER_00: What genre?
1:25:26
SPEAKER_01: Classic rock.
1:25:28
SPEAKER_00: Classic rock.
1:25:29
SPEAKER_01: One of the biggest of all time.
1:25:31
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:25:34
SPEAKER_01: Certainly when I tell you who it is, you can name 15 songs off the top of your head.
1:25:38
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:25:39
SPEAKER_01: So can everybody listening.
1:25:44
SPEAKER_00: That blonde guy looks familiar, but I just can't.
1:25:49
SPEAKER_01: This guy?
1:25:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the guy with the
1:25:53
SPEAKER_01: glasses.
1:25:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:25:55
SPEAKER_01: He looks like Toby Jepsen from The Little Angels.
1:25:58
SPEAKER_01: I'll give you another hint.
1:26:00
SPEAKER_01: That's not him.
1:26:08
SPEAKER_00: No, I just wouldn't know.
1:26:10
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
1:26:11
SPEAKER_01: You don't have any idea who that is.
1:26:14
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:26:15
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:26:17
SPEAKER_01: Well then,
1:26:17
SPEAKER_01: let me kick that back out here and I'll kick this out and
1:26:23
SPEAKER_01: then I'll show you another picture.
1:26:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:26:26
SPEAKER_01: Find the story so I can show you the actual picture and then you'll be like, oh, of course.
1:26:35
SPEAKER_01: Share this tab.
1:26:41
SPEAKER_01: It's Foreigner.
1:26:45
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's who's going out as Foreigner.
1:26:48
SPEAKER_01: That's Foreigner.
1:26:49
SPEAKER_01: Foreigner announced the tour.
1:26:51
SPEAKER_01: Four City Acoustic Tour.
1:26:53
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:26:54
SPEAKER_01: I just saw this and I was like, there's no one that can pick this out as Foreigner.
1:27:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just some guys playing Foreigner music.
1:27:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:27:04
SPEAKER_01: And even Jeff's not an original.
1:27:06
SPEAKER_01: I just knew because we know Jeff that if I left Jeff in the picture, you'd get it right away.
1:27:10
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
1:27:12
SPEAKER_01: But how sad is this?
1:27:16
SPEAKER_01: I know it's good.
1:27:17
SPEAKER_01: Me and you together saw this,
1:27:20
SPEAKER_01: a version of this, not this version, but we saw a version of this, and it was good.
1:27:27
SPEAKER_00: It was Kelly Hansen, and obviously Nick Jones was still in the band.
1:27:32
SPEAKER_00: Jason Bonham.
1:27:33
SPEAKER_00: Jason Bonham was in there.
1:27:35
SPEAKER_00: And Pilsen was in there.
1:27:39
SPEAKER_01: It was a great show,
1:27:39
SPEAKER_01: and they sounded like Foreigner, and they probably still sound like Foreigner.
1:27:43
SPEAKER_00: Which one's the new singer guy?
1:27:45
SPEAKER_01: I think the guy with the hat.
1:27:47
SPEAKER_00: I could be wrong on that, though.
1:27:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
1:27:50
SPEAKER_00: Dude, I don't know shit.
1:27:52
SPEAKER_00: You're probably right.
1:27:52
SPEAKER_00: It's probably the guy with the hat.
1:27:54
SPEAKER_01: Nah.
1:27:56
SPEAKER_01: Foreigner,
1:27:56
SPEAKER_01: one of the most celebrated bands,
1:27:58
SPEAKER_01: has announced Foreigner Unplugged,
1:28:00
SPEAKER_01: a four-show European tour that will bring the band's catalog of top ten songs
1:28:06
SPEAKER_01: to audiences in a rare stripped-down acoustic setting.
1:28:10
SPEAKER_01: It's not Foreigner.
1:28:14
SPEAKER_01: It's just not Foreigner.
1:28:17
SPEAKER_01: Dee Snider's absolutely right this week when he said that these guys need to stop
1:28:20
SPEAKER_01: with the no original members going out as these bands.
1:28:27
SPEAKER_00: I mean, look at Chicago.
1:28:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they need to stop.
1:28:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:28:32
SPEAKER_01: They all need to stop.
1:28:34
SPEAKER_00: It's not Chicago.
1:28:35
SPEAKER_00: It's just a bunch of people now just performing Chicago songs.
1:28:39
SPEAKER_01: Last week we talked about Twisted Sister.
1:28:42
SPEAKER_01: That's not Twisted Sister.
1:28:45
SPEAKER_01: That's Sebastian Bach.
1:28:47
SPEAKER_01: That's closer to Sebastian Bach than Twisted Sister.
1:28:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:28:52
SPEAKER_01: You know, it's like enough with this shit.
1:28:55
SPEAKER_01: All of them.
1:28:55
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to say it about all of them.
1:28:56
SPEAKER_01: I'll say it about Dokken.
1:28:58
SPEAKER_01: Stop.
1:28:59
SPEAKER_01: Stop.
1:29:01
SPEAKER_01: You're not.
1:29:02
SPEAKER_01: You're Don Dokken.
1:29:03
SPEAKER_01: And friends.
1:29:05
SPEAKER_01: You're not Dokken.
1:29:08
SPEAKER_01: At least on their end, they do have a couple of albums together.
1:29:11
SPEAKER_01: I'll give them that on the docking side.
1:29:14
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:29:15
SPEAKER_01: Has Foreigner done a record?
1:29:16
SPEAKER_01: I know they haven't done a record with this Louis Maldonado guy.
1:29:20
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:29:21
SPEAKER_01: They say you should never look back, but I've never been good at following orders.
1:29:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm Chris Akin,
1:29:27
SPEAKER_01: and while most of you know me for the radio and the interviews,
1:29:31
SPEAKER_01: I've got a past that would make social justice warriors' heads explode.
1:29:36
SPEAKER_01: My latest book, and other things I should not say, isn't a self-help manual.
1:29:42
SPEAKER_01: It's an autopsy of the years 1986 to 1990.
1:29:46
SPEAKER_01: Four years of sex, booze,
1:29:49
SPEAKER_01: and absolute chaos while I was serving in the military in Korea and California.
1:29:55
SPEAKER_01: I'm talking about stories that stay buried in the back of your memory
1:29:59
SPEAKER_01: because society tells you they're wrong and ugly.
1:30:02
SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't live in fear of my past.
1:30:05
SPEAKER_01: Every filthy,
1:30:07
SPEAKER_01: calloused,
1:30:07
SPEAKER_01: and ridiculous moment in this book actually happened,
1:30:11
SPEAKER_01: and I'm damn proud to share it.
1:30:13
SPEAKER_01: If you're easily offended, keep walking, pal.
1:30:16
SPEAKER_01: But if you want to see what happens when you pack a lifetime of dangerous living
1:30:21
SPEAKER_01: into just four years,
1:30:23
SPEAKER_01: head over to Amazon.com or just go to the link in the description and grab yourself
1:30:29
SPEAKER_01: a copy today.
1:30:31
SPEAKER_01: Both men of fingers are up and the truth is right here.
1:30:35
SPEAKER_01: Get some CMS, uncensored.
1:30:37
SPEAKER_01: And other things I should not say is the book and it is sure to offend and sicken
1:30:43
SPEAKER_01: and make you laugh like you never have before.
1:30:48
SPEAKER_00: I think they only did one record with Kelly, didn't they?
1:30:50
SPEAKER_01: And I think it was a covers album of their old stuff, wasn't it?
1:30:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, I think they have one original album with Kelly.
1:30:57
SPEAKER_00: Do they?
1:30:58
SPEAKER_00: Then they did the re-record of the Corner stuff.
1:31:02
SPEAKER_01: Cold as Ice and Urgent and stuff.
1:31:05
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
1:31:05
SPEAKER_00: Which, again, I like all that stuff.
1:31:07
SPEAKER_00: It's like what Journey did with Arnell.
1:31:09
SPEAKER_00: They re-recorded their biggest hits.
1:31:12
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:31:13
SPEAKER_01: And like Journey's going to do again with this new guy,
1:31:15
SPEAKER_01: with Hugo, Hugo Valenti, whatever his name is.
1:31:21
SPEAKER_01: Did you see that this week?
1:31:23
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:31:24
SPEAKER_01: Oh, let's find that for you then.
1:31:27
SPEAKER_01: What are they going to do?
1:31:30
SPEAKER_01: There's a guy out there named Hugo Valenti.
1:31:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:31:35
SPEAKER_01: I've actually seen this tribute band.
1:31:37
SPEAKER_01: I think it's called Voyager or Rubicon or something.
1:31:41
SPEAKER_01: But I've seen this guy.
1:31:43
SPEAKER_01: This guy is a dead ringer for Steve Perry,
1:31:46
SPEAKER_01: not only in sound, but he looks exactly like him as well.
1:31:51
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:31:51
SPEAKER_01: And he showed up in Japan.
1:31:54
SPEAKER_01: He's from America, showed up in Japan to play a couple of songs for two different nights.
1:32:02
SPEAKER_01: And the,
1:32:03
SPEAKER_01: the wide speculation is that, um,
1:32:06
SPEAKER_01: that's it for our,
1:32:06
SPEAKER_01: now we're, we're
1:32:07
SPEAKER_00: probably, well, he wanted to get out prior, prior to this tour.
1:32:13
SPEAKER_01: And this tour with Jonathan Cain ends, what, in a month or two?
1:32:17
SPEAKER_01: I think it ends in November.
1:32:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, allegedly.
1:32:21
SPEAKER_01: Well, I don't think Journey's going to end.
1:32:23
SPEAKER_01: I think Journey with Jonathan Cain is going to end.
1:32:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:32:27
SPEAKER_01: And with Jonathan, since he's walking away, that might be the time for Arnell to split.
1:32:32
SPEAKER_01: And they're road-testing the new guy.
1:32:35
SPEAKER_00: Well, we kind of knew that because...
1:32:40
SPEAKER_00: Neil Sean took that photo with those four other dudes.
1:32:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:32:48
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
1:32:49
SPEAKER_00: Let me find you a good...
1:32:52
SPEAKER_00: So what do you mean this guy showed up in Japan?
1:32:55
SPEAKER_00: Is Journey in Japan right now?
1:32:57
SPEAKER_01: Journey's in Japan.
1:32:58
SPEAKER_00: So this guy showed up and played with...
1:33:01
SPEAKER_01: Played, sang faithfully.
1:33:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:33:03
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:33:05
SPEAKER_01: I'll play it.
1:33:06
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:33:07
SPEAKER_01: But when you see him, he looks like Steve Perry.
1:33:10
SPEAKER_01: This is the guy they should have had the entire time.
1:33:13
SPEAKER_01: Nothing against Arnell.
1:33:15
SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe they didn't know about him then.
1:33:17
SPEAKER_00: Probably not, but this guy is.
1:33:21
SPEAKER_00: How old is this guy?
1:33:22
SPEAKER_00: Is he younger?
1:33:23
SPEAKER_01: He's probably their age.
1:33:24
SPEAKER_00: Oh, he's older?
1:33:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's not young.
1:33:27
SPEAKER_01: I saw him like 12, 15 years ago.
1:33:30
SPEAKER_01: It's been a long time.
1:33:32
SPEAKER_01: I saw him at like...
1:33:34
SPEAKER_01: I forget what it was.
1:33:35
SPEAKER_01: It was some tribute thing.
1:33:37
SPEAKER_01: Like one of these things at like Lock 3 or up in Elyria or somewhere.
1:33:42
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:33:43
SPEAKER_01: Rock the park or some bullshit.
1:33:46
SPEAKER_01: But I saw him.
1:33:47
SPEAKER_01: He's great.
1:33:49
SPEAKER_01: He's a dead ringer though.
1:33:50
SPEAKER_01: I mean, just more the look than the sound.
1:33:53
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he sounds just like him too, but you'll see.
1:33:56
SPEAKER_01: Tonight!
1:34:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah!
1:34:06
SPEAKER_02: This next song in 1982.
1:34:07
SPEAKER_02: It's about the road life we live.
1:34:13
SPEAKER_02: How we all have to stay together.
1:34:18
SPEAKER_02: Be committed.
1:34:21
SPEAKER_02: Just like all you Journey fans out there.
1:34:23
SPEAKER_02: We just want to thank you so much for being here tonight.
1:34:30
SPEAKER_02: Tonight, we have a friend all the way from Long Island, New York.
1:34:36
SPEAKER_02: He came to Japan for the first time.
1:34:40
SPEAKER_02: He's a friend of the band, we'd like to introduce you to him right now.
1:34:44
SPEAKER_02: Give it up for Hugo Valenti.
1:34:58
SPEAKER_01: I'm telling you,
1:34:59
SPEAKER_01: these Japanese people have no idea what Jonathan Cain think,
1:35:02
SPEAKER_01: and they think Steve Perry just walked on stage.
1:35:05
SPEAKER_00: I know.
1:35:06
SPEAKER_00: They're reacting as if Steve Perry is making a guest appearance.
1:35:11
SPEAKER_01: They have no idea what he just said,
1:35:14
SPEAKER_01: and they think Steve Perry showed up, because he looks exactly like him.
1:35:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's funny.
1:35:20
SPEAKER_00: Wait till you hear them.
1:35:22
SPEAKER_00: You know what would have been really funny?
1:35:24
SPEAKER_00: What?
1:35:24
SPEAKER_00: Is if he showed up with the long tail tuxedo jacket on.
1:35:29
SPEAKER_01: They should have done that.
1:35:30
SPEAKER_01: They shouldn't even have introduced him.
1:35:33
SPEAKER_01: They should have just had him walk on, sing the song, and leave.
1:35:35
SPEAKER_00: We got a special guest who wants to sing a song and he walks out with
1:35:38
SPEAKER_00: that long tail tuxedo jacket on.
1:35:41
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
1:35:42
SPEAKER_01: And never say his name.
1:35:43
SPEAKER_01: Just be like, hey.
1:35:46
SPEAKER_01: Half of the world would have thought it was really Steve Perry.
1:35:49
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:35:49
SPEAKER_01: They would have got so much press for doing it that way.
1:35:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's funny.
1:35:53
SPEAKER_01: All right, watch this.
1:35:54
SPEAKER_00: That would have been great if they did it that way.
1:35:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but they're chicken shit.
1:35:59
SPEAKER_01: John McCain ain't going to do that.
1:36:00
SPEAKER_01: He's a big puss.
1:36:03
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
1:36:07
SPEAKER_01: This is that ovation.
1:36:14
SPEAKER_01: Come on!
1:36:37
SPEAKER_02: Restless house, sleep alone tonight.
1:36:38
SPEAKER_02: Saving all my love, no longer why they are.
1:36:39
SPEAKER_02: Saving the road in a place to start a family.
1:37:04
SPEAKER_01: If I hadn't told you that this wasn't him, would you think it was him?
1:37:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, I know it's not him, I mean, but dead ringer.
1:37:12
SPEAKER_01: And looks, he looks like him.
1:37:16
SPEAKER_01: That's amazing how much, how much he looks like him.
1:37:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it is.
1:37:21
SPEAKER_00: But he's in a Journey tribute band?
1:37:25
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:37:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay, well, that makes sense that, you know, he's got his hair cut like that.
1:37:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's being Steve Perry, but.
1:37:32
SPEAKER_00: Basically, yeah.
1:37:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:37:35
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
1:38:07
SPEAKER_02: Faithfully.
1:38:07
SPEAKER_02: If I kiss love, I'm gonna be.
1:38:37
SPEAKER_01: He's got the mannerisms.
1:38:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
1:38:39
SPEAKER_00: He's got all the moves and everything.
1:38:42
SPEAKER_00: It's funny.
1:38:43
SPEAKER_01: He is a dead ringer, man.
1:38:45
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that
1:38:46
SPEAKER_00: is funny.
1:38:47
SPEAKER_01: And you got to think, he's nervous as fuck doing this.
1:38:50
SPEAKER_01: Sure.
1:38:51
SPEAKER_01: You know, he knows this is his audition.
1:38:55
SPEAKER_01: You know, this is his audition.
1:38:57
SPEAKER_01: Now, you think they had him come out and do one song two nights in a row?
1:39:00
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
1:39:01
SPEAKER_00: Flew him to Japan?
1:39:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:39:03
SPEAKER_00: Because, you know, Arnell wanted out.
1:39:07
SPEAKER_00: He wanted out prior to this tour because of all of his legal issues and vocal issues
1:39:13
SPEAKER_00: and things he's been having problems with.
1:39:16
SPEAKER_01: Dealing with Neil and Jonathan.
1:39:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:39:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, let's play a little more of this.
1:39:25
SPEAKER_01: It really is amazing how, again, vocally, this is not the best.
1:39:30
SPEAKER_01: He sounds better in his tribute band than this.
1:39:33
SPEAKER_01: I will tell you that.
1:39:35
SPEAKER_01: But...
1:39:36
SPEAKER_01: Man, does he look the part.
1:39:39
SPEAKER_01: He really looked.
1:39:40
SPEAKER_01: Now, a foreigner would have had this guy, the equivalent of Mick Jones.
1:39:45
SPEAKER_01: I'd be okay with it.
1:39:46
SPEAKER_01: Because at least this guy makes you,
1:39:49
SPEAKER_01: you see this guy on stage with Neil Sean, you're like, all right, it's Journey.
1:39:53
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't this feel way more like Journey than some Filipino guy coming out there?
1:39:57
SPEAKER_00: It does.
1:39:58
SPEAKER_01: It just feels more like Journey.
1:40:02
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
1:40:08
SPEAKER_02: The CMS Network, The CMS Network,
1:41:07
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, yeah, we're seeing it again.
1:41:09
SPEAKER_01: It's back.
1:41:10
SPEAKER_01: So what do you think?
1:41:14
SPEAKER_01: New singer Journey?
1:41:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:41:17
SPEAKER_01: They'll be announcing him like November 1st.
1:41:20
SPEAKER_00: Neil's not going to let go of a cash cow.
1:41:23
SPEAKER_01: Fuck no.
1:41:25
SPEAKER_01: He has to.
1:41:27
SPEAKER_01: How else is he going to get his credit card bills paid?
1:41:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no shit.
1:41:31
SPEAKER_00: But to call this Journey's Farewell Tour and all that shit.
1:41:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, it's Jonathan Cain's Farewell Tour.
1:41:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, more or less.
1:41:39
SPEAKER_01: I think he's probably going to go with that title that he illegally released
1:41:43
SPEAKER_01: that live album with.
1:41:44
SPEAKER_01: He'll probably call it Journey Through Time.
1:41:47
SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
1:41:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:41:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't think he's going to call it Journey, just straight up Journey.
1:41:52
SPEAKER_01: I don't think John McCain will let him.
1:41:55
SPEAKER_01: I think that would end up tied up in court for years,
1:41:59
SPEAKER_01: and they don't have years to be tied up in court.
1:42:02
SPEAKER_01: It's probably easier for him to go out with Journey Through Time, through time being real small.
1:42:09
SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
1:42:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:42:14
SPEAKER_01: You want a little more of this?
1:42:15
SPEAKER_01: Want to hear this guy do the high notes?
1:42:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, go ahead.
1:42:17
SPEAKER_01: All right, there we go.
1:42:54
SPEAKER_01: Fucked it up.
1:44:14
SPEAKER_01: Come on.
1:44:17
SPEAKER_01: That's the dude.
1:44:18
SPEAKER_01: You'll be seeing more of him in the near future.
1:44:22
SPEAKER_01: 2027, you'll be seeing a lot of that guy.
1:44:24
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:44:25
SPEAKER_01: Arnel Panetta, never to be seen again.
1:44:29
SPEAKER_00: He's going to go back to his grass shack in the Philippines.
1:44:32
SPEAKER_01: Or jail.
1:44:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:44:35
SPEAKER_01: I got a feeling he ain't going back to the Philippines.
1:44:38
SPEAKER_01: He's probably going to send money to fly his family over the States.
1:44:43
SPEAKER_01: Hoping he doesn't get extradited.
1:44:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but that happened this week.
1:44:50
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's happening.
1:44:52
SPEAKER_01: There's no way.
1:44:53
SPEAKER_01: Why would they do this otherwise?
1:44:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there's no reason to
1:44:58
SPEAKER_00: do that.
1:44:58
SPEAKER_00: There's no reason.
1:45:00
SPEAKER_00: Why are they bringing this guy to Japan to come out and sing a song with him?
1:45:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:45:06
SPEAKER_01: And they don't need to.
1:45:07
SPEAKER_01: And even if Arnell's having trouble hitting the notes, they got Dean.
1:45:13
SPEAKER_01: Dean can hit those notes.
1:45:21
SPEAKER_01: That is the new line of paternity, I think.
1:45:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, good on him if he
1:45:26
SPEAKER_00: gets that gig.
1:45:28
SPEAKER_00: Well, speaking of Jonathan Cain and Neil Sean,
1:45:31
SPEAKER_00: did you happen to look at that little documentary I sent you on Bad English?
1:45:36
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:45:37
SPEAKER_00: Did you enjoy that?
1:45:39
SPEAKER_00: I sort of knew a lot of that anyway.
1:45:41
SPEAKER_00: Well, I did too,
1:45:42
SPEAKER_00: but it was kind of interesting that that guy put it together in the perspective
1:45:49
SPEAKER_00: that he did.
1:45:51
SPEAKER_01: Really is funny to hear how much John Waite hated it.
1:45:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he didn't enjoy it.
1:45:55
SPEAKER_01: He hated it.
1:45:58
SPEAKER_01: And you would think he would have loved it.
1:45:59
SPEAKER_01: I loved the first Bad English record.
1:46:02
SPEAKER_01: I really liked that one with Forget Me Not and stuff.
1:46:04
SPEAKER_01: That was good.
1:46:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it prompted me to listen to that on my way to work.
1:46:09
SPEAKER_00: That's a good record.
1:46:10
SPEAKER_00: I wrote about English and listened to it.
1:46:13
SPEAKER_01: You know what else was good?
1:46:14
SPEAKER_01: Kind of out of that.
1:46:15
SPEAKER_01: There was that one little moment in time when we had all that journey music
1:46:19
SPEAKER_01: or journey related music coming out.
1:46:22
SPEAKER_01: That first record from the storm.
1:46:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:46:25
SPEAKER_01: I pulled that out about a month ago.
1:46:27
SPEAKER_01: That's a fucking good record.
1:46:29
SPEAKER_01: Just so good.
1:46:30
SPEAKER_01: That Chalfant guy.
1:46:32
SPEAKER_01: Kevin Chalfant.
1:46:33
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:46:34
SPEAKER_01: What is the song?
1:46:35
SPEAKER_01: I've done a lot to learn about love.
1:46:39
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I do.
1:46:41
SPEAKER_01: It's a great record.
1:46:42
SPEAKER_01: So good.
1:46:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I have it.
1:46:46
SPEAKER_01: Is it filed in the wrong place?
1:46:47
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I put it under the or if I put it under storm.
1:46:55
SPEAKER_00: But it's on the shelf back here.
1:46:56
SPEAKER_01: It's a good record, man.
1:46:57
SPEAKER_01: Very good stuff.
1:46:59
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's when Journey was broke up and there was no Journey music.
1:47:02
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:47:04
SPEAKER_01: And that's when he was doing his thing.
1:47:06
SPEAKER_01: That's when Taiketo was kind of hitting.
1:47:11
SPEAKER_01: Or not Taiketo.
1:47:11
SPEAKER_01: What was the other band that Augeri was in?
1:47:14
SPEAKER_01: Tall Stories.
1:47:15
SPEAKER_00: Tall Stories.
1:47:16
SPEAKER_01: Remember Tall Stories.
1:47:18
SPEAKER_01: And he sounded just like Perry as well, which is why he got the gig.
1:47:23
SPEAKER_01: That guy's out there still, but boy.
1:47:25
SPEAKER_01: I hope Arnell has been watching what Augeri's doing
1:47:28
SPEAKER_01: because Augeri has not been able even a little bit to parlay His time in Journey
1:47:35
SPEAKER_01: into something.
1:47:36
SPEAKER_01: He's out there playing fucking the Five O'Clock Band on Foreigner gigs.
1:47:43
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he is.
1:47:44
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that's like legitimate.
1:47:47
SPEAKER_01: I think he did like a couple of those like Bret Michaels, what do they call that?
1:47:52
SPEAKER_01: The Party Grah?
1:47:53
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:47:54
SPEAKER_01: I think he played a few of those and came out on stage to sing a Journey song
1:47:58
SPEAKER_01: that wasn't even his version of Journey.
1:48:01
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:48:02
SPEAKER_01: But if you think about it,
1:48:04
SPEAKER_01: nobody that has been the singer of Journey has ever been able to parlay it.
1:48:09
SPEAKER_01: Steve Perry, I guess, but he was still in Journey when he did the Street Talk.
1:48:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Street Talk.
1:48:17
SPEAKER_01: When he did Street Talk, he was still in Journey.
1:48:20
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:48:20
SPEAKER_00: And then he was out there doing a solo thing for the love of strange medicine.
1:48:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, which I like that other than the heavy breathing on every song.
1:48:28
SPEAKER_00: But I saw that.
1:48:30
SPEAKER_00: Torrey played at the Cleveland Music Hall.
1:48:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Music Hall.
1:48:35
SPEAKER_00: I went to that.
1:48:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm big.
1:48:38
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I love Steve.
1:48:39
SPEAKER_01: Steve Perry's probably my favorite singer that there ever has been, but.
1:48:43
SPEAKER_00: I mean, singer.
1:48:44
SPEAKER_01: Singer now.
1:48:47
SPEAKER_00: Mr. Singing over his dentures.
1:48:49
SPEAKER_01: Over his dentures.
1:48:50
SPEAKER_01: But if you think about every other singer, Augeri's done nothing.
1:48:54
SPEAKER_01: Soto wasn't able to use, I mean, he was only in there for a minute and a half, but.
1:48:58
SPEAKER_01: He wasn't able to do anything with it.
1:49:00
SPEAKER_01: And what's Arnell going to do?
1:49:03
SPEAKER_01: Do you think people are going to be...
1:49:06
SPEAKER_00: Clamoring for some Arnell?
1:49:08
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:49:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't think so either.
1:49:10
SPEAKER_00: I think once Arnell is done with Journey, I think that's the end of his career.
1:49:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:49:16
SPEAKER_01: Or he'll become one of those doogie white Gary Barden guys that just plays
1:49:20
SPEAKER_01: on anytime anybody asks him to do something.
1:49:24
SPEAKER_01: Like Ronnie Romero.
1:49:26
SPEAKER_00: Because I'd like to think he made enough money over his 20 years in Journey.
1:49:30
SPEAKER_00: I would hope so.
1:49:31
SPEAKER_00: That he wouldn't have to go slog it out,
1:49:36
SPEAKER_00: trying to be a solo artist or reliving the Journey days.
1:49:41
SPEAKER_01: But you never know.
1:49:42
SPEAKER_01: He might also become that guy at every fucking state fair.
1:49:47
SPEAKER_02: New York's heavy metal titans are back.
1:49:50
SPEAKER_02: After 10 years, Anthrax unleashes their 12th studio album, Curse Em Perficio, September 18th.
1:49:59
SPEAKER_02: This is the sound of legends completing their journey.
1:50:03
SPEAKER_02: Curse Em Perficio, my journey is over.
1:50:07
SPEAKER_02: First single, It's For The Kids, is a buzz saw riff monster.
1:50:11
SPEAKER_02: Explosive drums, howling hooks, and pure Anthrax destruction.
1:50:17
SPEAKER_02: Scott Ian,
1:50:18
SPEAKER_02: Charlie Benanti,
1:50:19
SPEAKER_02: Frank Bellow,
1:50:20
SPEAKER_02: Joey Belladonna,
1:50:21
SPEAKER_02: and Jonathan DeNice deliver the thrash masterpiece you've been waiting for.

SPEAKER_02: Get the two-disc vinyl set right now, available at the bottom of your screen.
1:50:31
SPEAKER_02: Anthrax, Curseum Proficia, September 18th.
1:50:35
SPEAKER_02: This is the one you've been waiting for.
1:50:39
SPEAKER_01: Arnel Panetta doing the music of Journey.
1:50:42
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:50:42
SPEAKER_01: And he'll do all the same Steve Perry songs and then he'll mix in one of his own.
1:50:47
SPEAKER_01: He'll mix in like Like a Sun Shower or whatever that song is called.
1:50:52
SPEAKER_01: You know,
1:50:53
SPEAKER_01: some one song from his era and then all the rest will just be,
1:50:58
SPEAKER_01: you know, Steve Perry era.
1:51:00
SPEAKER_01: Because really, who cares?
1:51:02
SPEAKER_01: They did two or three records.
1:51:03
SPEAKER_01: Can you name two songs?
1:51:05
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:51:06
SPEAKER_01: Of the Arnell era?
1:51:07
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:51:10
SPEAKER_01: Can you name those three albums?
1:51:11
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:51:12
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:51:15
SPEAKER_01: Well, one was called... Shit, I can't name them either.
1:51:23
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
1:51:24
SPEAKER_01: Off the top of my head, I don't know.
1:51:26
SPEAKER_00: The only non-Steve Perry Journey record I know is Arrival with...
1:51:32
SPEAKER_01: With Ageri.
1:51:33
SPEAKER_00: Ageri.
1:51:34
SPEAKER_01: Well, let's see.
1:51:36
SPEAKER_01: Journey's coming here November 12th.
1:51:39
SPEAKER_01: May have to go to that.
1:51:42
SPEAKER_00: Where are they playing?
1:51:44
SPEAKER_01: The Rocket Arena, Gund Arena.
1:51:46
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, they can play the arena, huh?
1:51:49
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't mean
1:51:49
SPEAKER_01: it'll be
1:51:50
SPEAKER_00: full.
1:51:51
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
1:51:53
SPEAKER_01: Just because they can play there don't mean it to be full.
1:51:56
SPEAKER_01: I don't think they're big enough to sell that place, but...
1:52:00
SPEAKER_01: The last three have been called Revelation, Eclipse, and Freedom.
1:52:09
SPEAKER_01: Any of that ring a bell?
1:52:11
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:52:13
SPEAKER_01: No one cared.
1:52:15
SPEAKER_01: It was over.
1:52:16
SPEAKER_01: They all sold rock.
1:52:18
SPEAKER_01: Not even platinum, just a plain old rock.
1:52:23
SPEAKER_01: 100 copies each.
1:52:26
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:52:26
SPEAKER_01: Well, I think that's where we should leave this, I guess.
1:52:32
SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
1:52:33
SPEAKER_01: All right.
1:52:34
SPEAKER_00: Works for me.
1:52:36
SPEAKER_01: Believe it or not, that's been about an hour.
1:52:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
1:52:38
SPEAKER_00: It's wild.
1:52:41
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's interesting that they dragged this guy to Japan to come out there and sing.
1:52:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean,
1:52:49
SPEAKER_01: clearly it's not, hey,
1:52:50
SPEAKER_01: this is our good buddy who we flew to Japan halfway around the world
1:52:57
SPEAKER_01: to sing one song two nights in a row.
1:53:00
SPEAKER_01: You know damn well they flew him out there to say,
1:53:03
SPEAKER_01: let's see how you do on stage in front of a bunch of people that won't know
1:53:08
SPEAKER_01: if you're really Steve Perry or not.
1:53:10
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:53:10
SPEAKER_01: They're really getting a vibe of how will it work in the everywhere.
1:53:14
SPEAKER_00: What's the acceptance of this?
1:53:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
1:53:18
SPEAKER_01: They go to Tokyo where it's probably an easier sell than here in the States.
1:53:22
SPEAKER_01: You know,
1:53:23
SPEAKER_01: if they do it here in the States,
1:53:24
SPEAKER_01: it'll just get every cocksucker with an X account and be like,
1:53:27
SPEAKER_01: this guy fucking sucks.
1:53:29
SPEAKER_01: It's terrible.
1:53:31
SPEAKER_01: It's not Steve Perry.
1:53:32
SPEAKER_01: He's fucking garbage.
1:53:34
SPEAKER_01: Who are they trying to fool?
1:53:37
SPEAKER_01: Frauds.
1:53:38
SPEAKER_01: So.
1:53:40
SPEAKER_01: Journey into fake band.
1:53:45
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's pretty much par for the course, too.
1:53:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it is.
1:53:51
SPEAKER_01: That's where we are in 2026.
1:53:54
SPEAKER_01: At least with that one, he sort of looks the part, too.
1:53:58
SPEAKER_01: Unlike every other one of these guys that we look at, and we're like, how does this guy fit?
1:54:02
SPEAKER_01: They don't fit at all, but that guy at least looks like he's in Journey.
1:54:07
SPEAKER_00: He does.
1:54:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they just, you know...
1:54:10
SPEAKER_00: Dress him up in some stage clothes and,
1:54:12
SPEAKER_00: you know,
1:54:14
SPEAKER_00: give him the look that he's part of the band instead of walking in from Seattle.
1:54:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
1:54:25
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's Journey's singer that also part-time in Soundgarden or something.
1:54:30
SPEAKER_01: Right.
1:54:31
SPEAKER_01: Did you see that they're playing?
1:54:33
SPEAKER_01: Soundgarden is going to play...
1:54:36
SPEAKER_01: I forget where it is that they're playing,
1:54:38
SPEAKER_01: but they're playing like halftime of an NFL game with Taylor Momsen from
1:54:46
SPEAKER_01: The Pretty Reckless as the singer.
1:54:48
SPEAKER_00: Oh, really?
1:54:49
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm like, oof.
1:54:52
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I love Taylor Momsen.
1:54:54
SPEAKER_01: I am a total fan of her, and I think she's great.
1:54:57
SPEAKER_01: And I think she's completely a miss for Soundgarden.
1:55:02
SPEAKER_01: But then again, what do I know?
1:55:03
SPEAKER_01: I thought that the girls singing for Linkin Park was going to be a disaster,
1:55:06
SPEAKER_01: and they've done quite well with that.
1:55:10
SPEAKER_01: Apparently,
1:55:11
SPEAKER_01: we're in that zone of we'll accept girls singing guy songs as long as they keep them
1:55:18
SPEAKER_01: in key.
1:55:21
SPEAKER_00: We will see.
1:55:22
SPEAKER_00: It's like Lizzie Hale singing for Skid Row.
1:55:25
SPEAKER_01: Skid Row, exactly.
1:55:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I saw that the warning of all bands is also doing an NFL half.
1:55:31
SPEAKER_01: They're doing like the kickoff show that's in like, I don't know, it's in Mexico or something.
1:55:38
SPEAKER_01: They're having the kickoff football games in Mexico and the warning is playing at halftime.
1:55:42
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, God damn, that band just blew up all of a sudden, didn't they?
1:55:47
SPEAKER_01: They were like a club band like two years ago.
1:55:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, they got the right heat.
1:55:52
SPEAKER_00: They did.
1:55:55
SPEAKER_01: Although I gotta say, that new record from them absolutely sucks.
1:56:00
SPEAKER_01: Man, I was just warming up to that band.
1:56:03
SPEAKER_01: I really was.
1:56:04
SPEAKER_01: Because, I mean,
1:56:04
SPEAKER_01: you know, they obviously, their fans went crazy and got our old YouTube channel.
1:56:10
SPEAKER_01: We're partially responsible by reporting our channel and whatever.
1:56:14
SPEAKER_01: And so I should have hate for them, but it isn't the band's fault.
1:56:17
SPEAKER_01: I did start listening to that band a little bit,
1:56:19
SPEAKER_01: and I was like, all right, some of these songs are okay.
1:56:22
SPEAKER_01: This new one is just fucking...
1:56:25
SPEAKER_01: Reminds me of Tony Basil, Basil, whatever her name was.
1:56:29
SPEAKER_00: Are they doing a cover of Mickey?
1:56:31
SPEAKER_01: No, but they have that kind of chick pop rock thing that's a little too chick for me.
1:56:39
SPEAKER_01: Like Katrina and the Waves and shit like that.
1:56:43
SPEAKER_01: You know, Wretch in the chat room, their fan base is insufferable.
1:56:47
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's true.
1:56:50
SPEAKER_01: That's true.
1:56:50
SPEAKER_01: But again, it's not the band's fault.
1:56:52
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:56:53
SPEAKER_01: It's their fans' fault.
1:56:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're just out there trying to make a living and they found their audience.
1:56:59
SPEAKER_01: And say all the bad shit you want about their fans.
1:57:03
SPEAKER_01: That band came up from nothing.
1:57:06
SPEAKER_01: And now they're tied in with the NFL and, you know, doing all these big gigantic gigs.
1:57:12
SPEAKER_01: So they're doing something right.
1:57:14
SPEAKER_01: Probably a lot of things right to get that kind of heat.
1:57:17
SPEAKER_00: Well, somebody's got a big stick in their camp.
1:57:20
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
1:57:22
SPEAKER_01: The warning fans aren't fans of Mr. Reagan.
1:57:27
SPEAKER_01: Probably not, but whatever.
1:57:28
SPEAKER_01: I'm a fan of that band.
1:57:29
SPEAKER_01: I don't give a shit about their dumb fans.
1:57:32
SPEAKER_01: I like the band.
1:57:34
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
1:57:34
SPEAKER_01: Pretty decent.
1:57:36
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, go ahead.
1:57:37
SPEAKER_01: What are we playing?
1:57:39
SPEAKER_00: Well, we'll jump back into the tunes here via the locals.

1:59:09
SPEAKER_00: Nazareth with Go Down Fighting for Demolich and Kicking Off That Block.
1:59:14
SPEAKER_00: We heard Iron Maiden with The Wicker Man for John Phillips.
1:59:18
SPEAKER_01: That Mott the Hoople song was pure trash.
1:59:23
SPEAKER_01: That literally sounded like Bad Queen mixed with the John Travolta songs on
1:59:31
SPEAKER_01: the Grease soundtrack.
1:59:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was performance art.
1:59:35
SPEAKER_01: It was shit is what it was.
1:59:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.

SPEAKER_01: I'll take AI over that any day of the week twice tomorrow.
1:59:43
SPEAKER_01: How about that?
1:59:44
SPEAKER_01: Fucking junk.
1:59:47
SPEAKER_01: They needed some AI to give them some direction on that shit sandwich.
1:59:51
SPEAKER_01: Jesus, that was terrible.
1:59:53
SPEAKER_01: Did you like that song?
1:59:54
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:59:55
SPEAKER_00: Very, very artistic.
1:59:57
SPEAKER_00: It was very artsy.
1:59:59
SPEAKER_01: Ben Benjamin, it's a work of art.
2:00:01
SPEAKER_00: That's what I said.
2:00:02
SPEAKER_00: See, it's artsy.
2:00:05
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:00:07
SPEAKER_01: You know what else is art?
2:00:08
SPEAKER_01: Shitting on a canvas.
2:00:11
SPEAKER_00: Or going around sniffing chicks' ass.
2:00:14
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's art too.
2:00:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:00:16
SPEAKER_00: The art of the ass smell.
2:00:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:00:19
SPEAKER_01: No, Jim, that was not awesome.
2:00:21
SPEAKER_01: That was the polar opposite of awesome.
2:00:25
SPEAKER_01: That was like being raped.
2:00:28
SPEAKER_01: That was ear rape.
2:00:30
SPEAKER_01: Ear rape.
2:00:30
SPEAKER_01: That was ear rape.
2:00:33
SPEAKER_01: That was the worst.
2:00:35
SPEAKER_01: Ear rape my eye.
2:00:37
SPEAKER_01: J-Rad, the Mott song kind of made me want to go and suck a dick.
2:00:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's about right.
2:00:44
SPEAKER_01: That's about right.
2:00:45
SPEAKER_01: Jim, you could try and slam Neely.
2:00:47
SPEAKER_01: Neely's not the one that brought it up.
2:00:48
SPEAKER_01: It's me.
2:00:50
SPEAKER_01: You could talk all the shit you want about Neely, Lake, and Doc, and blah, blah, blah.
2:00:54
SPEAKER_01: I'm talking shit.
2:00:56
SPEAKER_01: So tell me how bad Metallica and Pantera are compared to Mott the Hoople
2:01:01
SPEAKER_01: with your shitbag songs.
2:01:03
SPEAKER_01: That's garbage.
2:01:07
SPEAKER_01: It's garbage.
2:01:10
SPEAKER_01: Play that a little.
2:01:10
SPEAKER_01: Play me a little bit of that.
2:01:13
SPEAKER_01: Yes, give me a little of that junk.
2:01:18
SPEAKER_01: It's garbage.

SPEAKER_01: That sucks.
2:02:36
SPEAKER_01: And Jim, you can try all you want.
2:02:38
SPEAKER_01: Pantera can't touch Mott.
2:02:40
SPEAKER_01: Fuck out of it.
2:02:41
SPEAKER_01: Pantera wouldn't want to touch Mott.
2:02:43
SPEAKER_01: They wouldn't want to be accused of sucking cock.
2:02:46
SPEAKER_01: That is a fag song.
2:02:49
SPEAKER_01: Faggy.
2:02:53
SPEAKER_01: They play that song at every tranny convention.
2:02:56
SPEAKER_01: Every trans parade starts with that Mott the Hoople song.
2:03:00
SPEAKER_01: Fucking garbage.
2:03:02
SPEAKER_01: I bet the cover of that album has rainbows everywhere, doesn't it, Fruit Loop?
2:03:06
SPEAKER_01: Now fuck out of here with that shit.
2:03:09
SPEAKER_01: That's some terrible music.
2:03:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, terrible.
2:03:16
SPEAKER_01: That really wasn't good.
2:03:19
SPEAKER_01: You can like it all you want, Jim.
2:03:22
SPEAKER_01: It's fine if you want to come out.
2:03:23
SPEAKER_01: It's fine.
2:03:25
SPEAKER_01: We've known you were gay for a long time, Jim.
2:03:28
SPEAKER_01: You just made it official.
2:03:32
SPEAKER_01: Thanks.
2:03:37
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did not like that song, even a little bit.
2:03:40
SPEAKER_01: I was listening to it, and I'm like waiting for it to get somewhere.
2:03:45
SPEAKER_01: You know,
2:03:45
SPEAKER_01: because as much,
2:03:47
SPEAKER_01: and I'll be honest,
2:03:48
SPEAKER_01: as much as I crack on Jim a lot of the times,
2:03:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't know any of these fucking songs.
2:03:54
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm not from the 40s, so I don't know any of these fucking songs.
2:03:59
SPEAKER_01: So I'm genuinely interested when he doesn't pick something that's super common,
2:04:07
SPEAKER_01: which in Jim's defense,
2:04:10
SPEAKER_01: most of the time he does not go smoke on the water or knocking on your back door.
2:04:16
SPEAKER_01: You know, he'll dig a little deeper into a Rainbow album or something.
2:04:21
SPEAKER_01: So I'm listening to this song and I'm like, All right, what is this?
2:04:26
SPEAKER_01: And I saw in the chat room they were saying Mott and Mott the Hoople and blah, blah.
2:04:30
SPEAKER_01: I was like, all right, this is going to go somewhere.
2:04:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm listening and I'm listening.
2:04:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm like, where's this fucking going?
2:04:39
SPEAKER_01: I'm waiting for John Travolta to come out and sing Grease Lightning
2:04:42
SPEAKER_01: on this fucking terrible song.
2:04:43
SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying Mott the Hoople is even a bad band.
2:04:48
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
2:04:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I know.
2:04:50
SPEAKER_01: What was their hit?
2:04:52
SPEAKER_01: Once Bitten, Twice Shy?
2:04:55
SPEAKER_01: Is that them?
2:04:56
SPEAKER_00: I believe so, yeah.
2:04:59
SPEAKER_01: I know that one because of Great Great White.
2:05:05
SPEAKER_01: All right, whatever.
2:05:06
SPEAKER_01: Enjoy your Mata Hoople there, Jim.
2:05:08
SPEAKER_01: Fantastic.
2:05:12
SPEAKER_01: And I hope your family's okay with knowing that you're a gay man.
2:05:18
SPEAKER_01: It's good to know.
2:05:21
SPEAKER_01: Way to come clean, buddy.
2:05:26
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:05:26
SPEAKER_01: Should we get into something here?
2:05:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's get into something.
2:05:30
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:05:31
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to give you your pick.
2:05:35
SPEAKER_01: We're going to do all three of these tonight, so I'll let you pick what we go with first.
2:05:38
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:05:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, we got plenty of time.
2:05:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:05:41
SPEAKER_01: We can go with the Scorpions residency being postponed.
2:05:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:05:46
SPEAKER_01: We can go with a bunch of new music that came out this week.
2:05:51
SPEAKER_01: Or we can come back with The Return.
2:05:56
SPEAKER_01: Of Diamond Dave.
2:06:01
SPEAKER_00: I think that would be a good wrap up.
2:06:03
SPEAKER_00: So let's go with Scorpions.
2:06:06
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:06:07
SPEAKER_01: Let's get the Scorps here.
2:06:14
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:06:16
SPEAKER_01: Scorpions postponed 2026 Las Vegas residency due to unforeseen circumstances.
2:06:22
SPEAKER_01: What do you think that would do?
2:06:24
SPEAKER_01: That is the million-dollar question, isn't it?
2:06:27
SPEAKER_01: Which they are not telling.
2:06:29
SPEAKER_01: Do you think it's a health thing?
2:06:32
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I do.
2:06:33
SPEAKER_01: These guys are old.
2:06:34
SPEAKER_01: I know they're old.
2:06:35
SPEAKER_01: They're 80 years old.
2:06:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so who do you think it is, Klaus?
2:06:43
SPEAKER_01: Hasn't he been having some health issues?
2:06:46
SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, he's...
2:06:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure what the vocal issue is,
2:06:54
SPEAKER_00: but Klaus is,
2:06:57
SPEAKER_00: as long as he's been doing this,
2:07:00
SPEAKER_00: you know,
2:07:00
SPEAKER_00: for 60 years,
2:07:02
SPEAKER_00: he's had ups and downs with vocal issues, which is how Don got his career.
2:07:10
SPEAKER_00: Because Klaus was having vocal issues during the blackout recordings.
2:07:15
SPEAKER_01: In 81 or whatever that would have been.
2:07:17
SPEAKER_00: 81, 82, yeah.
2:07:19
SPEAKER_00: And so that's a possibility.
2:07:22
SPEAKER_00: But then I've heard,
2:07:24
SPEAKER_00: this is not confirmed,
2:07:26
SPEAKER_00: but Rudolph
2:07:30
SPEAKER_00: has been having some issues just moving about the stage.
2:07:36
SPEAKER_01: Really?
2:07:37
SPEAKER_01: I had not heard that.
2:07:39
SPEAKER_00: Well...
2:07:39
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm being told.
2:07:41
SPEAKER_00: And then Mickey had a problem with his foot.
2:07:46
SPEAKER_00: He almost lost his foot.
2:07:48
SPEAKER_00: He had sepsis or something, right?
2:07:50
SPEAKER_00: He had sepsis.
2:07:51
SPEAKER_00: It was rotting.
2:07:53
SPEAKER_00: His foot was rotting.
2:07:54
SPEAKER_00: Unreal.
2:07:56
SPEAKER_00: So these guys are not young bucks anymore.
2:08:04
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:08:07
SPEAKER_01: It's got to be something a little more serious than
2:08:13
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to think vocals.
2:08:16
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to think bigger health issue.
2:08:20
SPEAKER_01: They moved this to September of next year.
2:08:25
SPEAKER_00: Assuming they'll still be alive.
2:08:27
SPEAKER_00: They're still alive.
2:08:28
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:08:30
SPEAKER_01: But, I mean, they're banking on rescheduling this 13 months later.
2:08:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:08:37
SPEAKER_01: That doesn't sound like six months of getting your vocal,
2:08:42
SPEAKER_00: low vocal surgery and being back.
2:08:45
SPEAKER_00: Well, maybe,
2:08:45
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what their touring schedule is like between now and then,
2:08:51
SPEAKER_00: but if it's vocal issues with Klaus,
2:08:56
SPEAKER_00: that'll give him a year to get his vocals back in order to perform.
2:09:01
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:09:02
SPEAKER_02: Right.

2:09:35
SPEAKER_01: Question is, do we want them to come back?
2:09:39
SPEAKER_00: Well, from the shows I've seen,
2:09:43
SPEAKER_00: it's surprisingly good that they're still performing at a high level.
2:09:51
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
2:09:52
SPEAKER_00: Are they 1980-something high level?
2:09:55
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:09:56
SPEAKER_00: But for their age and sounding as good as they do and the show that they put on,
2:10:02
SPEAKER_00: it's a big show.
2:10:04
SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
2:10:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm not denying that.
2:10:08
SPEAKER_01: My thing, and it continues to be my thing with every one of these bands, where's the dignity?
2:10:16
SPEAKER_01: Where is the dignity of not running yourself...
2:10:22
SPEAKER_01: Completely into Frankie Valli's own.
2:10:26
SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, I'm going to make an assumption here.
2:10:30
SPEAKER_01: Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm going to assume that the members of the Scorpions do not need money.
2:10:37
SPEAKER_00: No, it's not about the money.
2:10:39
SPEAKER_01: Which lends me to saying, you know, where's the dignity to say, you know what?
2:10:46
SPEAKER_01: We're still a great band and we're just done.
2:10:50
SPEAKER_01: We're 80 years old.
2:10:52
SPEAKER_01: We're going to enjoy the three good years of retirement that we have left and we're out.
2:10:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
2:10:59
SPEAKER_00: It's just,
2:11:00
SPEAKER_00: I just knowing,
2:11:03
SPEAKER_00: obviously knowing people in the music business that have claimed
2:11:08
SPEAKER_00: that they're retiring and then they don't because reality sets in.
2:11:14
SPEAKER_00: It's like, well, this is my whole life.
2:11:16
SPEAKER_00: This is what I do.
2:11:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:11:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:11:18
SPEAKER_00: And if I retire today, even though I'm still capable, what am I going to do?
2:11:27
SPEAKER_01: Like every other person, the person that retires from installing tires.
2:11:34
SPEAKER_01: Goes and plants flowers and shit in his yard.
2:11:37
SPEAKER_00: But the guy who installs tires didn't do it on a level of being celebrity.
2:11:45
SPEAKER_00: I know.
2:11:46
SPEAKER_00: Being celebrity is a really hard pill to not have anymore.
2:11:53
SPEAKER_00: But you still would
2:11:54
SPEAKER_01: have it.
2:11:56
SPEAKER_01: You're going to tell me that Klaus Mein is all of a sudden going to not be
2:11:59
SPEAKER_01: a celebrity because he's not out on tour?
2:12:01
SPEAKER_00: No, being a performance celebrity,
2:12:04
SPEAKER_00: being out there,
2:12:05
SPEAKER_00: feeling the reaction of the crowd and the people and the excitement and,
2:12:10
SPEAKER_00: you know, just go do what you do.
2:12:15
SPEAKER_01: Dude, these guys need to take more of like an NFL football player.
2:12:22
SPEAKER_01: When it's over, it's just over.
2:12:25
SPEAKER_01: These guys are like boxers.
2:12:27
SPEAKER_01: Boxers and musicians are almost the same.
2:12:31
SPEAKER_01: They go until they're getting kicked around every single fucking show they play.
2:12:40
SPEAKER_01: And again,
2:12:40
SPEAKER_01: this is probably because I'm a little too passionate for the music business
2:12:45
SPEAKER_01: in general,
2:12:47
SPEAKER_01: but it makes me mad as a fan when I see a band that 100% cannot do it anymore.
2:12:54
SPEAKER_01: Out there still taking money and still pretending that they can.
2:13:00
SPEAKER_01: It's annoying.
2:13:01
SPEAKER_01: It's annoying to see David Lee Roth in the condition he's in now.
2:13:08
SPEAKER_01: It's bad to see Vince Neil now.
2:13:11
SPEAKER_01: It's not fun as Don Dawkins' friend to see Don out there struggling the way he does,
2:13:17
SPEAKER_01: show after show after show,
2:13:19
SPEAKER_01: and then to see 4,000,
2:13:21
SPEAKER_01: and this is for all three guys,
2:13:22
SPEAKER_01: not just Don,
2:13:23
SPEAKER_01: but for all three of these guys, they do a performance and then what happens?
2:13:28
SPEAKER_01: They get absolutely murdered online.
2:13:32
SPEAKER_01: And whether they care or they don't care, their reputation just keeps on getting beaten.
2:13:39
SPEAKER_01: And that as a fan,
2:13:41
SPEAKER_01: as somebody that cares about these songs,
2:13:43
SPEAKER_01: these albums,
2:13:44
SPEAKER_01: this music,
2:13:45
SPEAKER_01: as somebody that fucking played Van Halen 1 9 billion times and played Under Lock
2:13:51
SPEAKER_01: and Key for anybody that would listen to it and played fucking Shout at the Devil
2:13:57
SPEAKER_01: for anybody that their parents wouldn't let them listen to it.
2:14:02
SPEAKER_01: To see these shells of what they used to be and being like, yeah, I'm still a fan, goddammit.
2:14:11
SPEAKER_01: That fucking sucks, man.
2:14:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, does it not for you?
2:14:16
SPEAKER_00: It does.
2:14:17
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
2:14:18
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
2:14:19
SPEAKER_00: Trust me.
2:14:19
SPEAKER_00: I'm in the thick of it.
2:14:21
SPEAKER_00: I know.
2:14:21
SPEAKER_00: I see it.
2:14:23
SPEAKER_01: Well, and I'm not saying to say what Don or anybody else would say,
2:14:27
SPEAKER_01: but in general, do they get it?
2:14:31
SPEAKER_00: In general?
2:14:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think they do.
2:14:36
SPEAKER_00: But the thing is,
2:14:37
SPEAKER_00: and again,
2:14:38
SPEAKER_00: it's not,
2:14:40
SPEAKER_00: I don't think that it's ego so much as it's just,
2:14:44
SPEAKER_00: well, now what I do, you know, because this is what they've done for 50 years.
2:14:51
SPEAKER_00: And it's just like, now what do I do now?
2:14:53
SPEAKER_00: You know,
2:14:54
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to just stay at home and plant a garden or,
2:14:58
SPEAKER_00: you know, just But the thing is, is these guys can evolve too, and they don't.
2:15:04
SPEAKER_00: They do.
2:15:05
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
2:15:05
SPEAKER_00: That's exactly what I'm trying to say, is that they don't know how to do anything else.
2:15:11
SPEAKER_01: But see, I disagree.
2:15:13
SPEAKER_01: I'll use Don or David Lee.
2:15:15
SPEAKER_01: I have no idea with Vince Neil.
2:15:17
SPEAKER_01: I just don't think he's capable of anything anymore.
2:15:19
SPEAKER_01: But I'll use those two.
2:15:22
SPEAKER_01: Those two, and we've talked about it over and over again, and it doesn't make us right either.
2:15:25
SPEAKER_01: I could be dead wrong on this.
2:15:28
SPEAKER_01: But either of those two guys,
2:15:29
SPEAKER_01: Don Dockin,
2:15:30
SPEAKER_01: David Lee Roth, could go out there with an acoustic guitarist and do storytellers.
2:15:37
SPEAKER_00: Well, see, Don and I actually had that discussion.
2:15:41
SPEAKER_00: He needs to do it.
2:15:42
SPEAKER_00: And he agrees.
2:15:44
SPEAKER_00: He completely agrees.
2:15:45
SPEAKER_00: But he says,
2:15:47
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what the interest would be or what a promoter would be willing to pay
2:15:54
SPEAKER_00: for that.
2:15:54
SPEAKER_01: You know what the interest will be?
2:15:56
SPEAKER_01: More than it is now to hear you sound like shit.
2:16:00
SPEAKER_01: That's what the interest will be.
2:16:04
SPEAKER_01: Take Don off of it for a minute because I know that puts you in a tough place to talk about it.
2:16:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm just going to go with David Lee Roth for a minute.
2:16:09
SPEAKER_00: But the thing is, I'm just letting you know that these discussions have been had.
2:16:16
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
2:16:18
SPEAKER_00: And he agrees.
2:16:21
SPEAKER_01: Do you not think With the lunacy,
2:16:25
SPEAKER_01: the lunacy of the David Lee Roth fans that he would not actually do bigger venues
2:16:33
SPEAKER_01: than he does now with the video out there of him just sucking ass
2:16:38
SPEAKER_01: and weird meth smile.
2:16:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I don't think he'd be playing sheds, obviously.
2:16:47
SPEAKER_00: No, but 5,000
2:16:49
SPEAKER_01: he'd play.
2:16:52
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
2:16:52
SPEAKER_00: It's hard to tell.
2:16:54
SPEAKER_00: But I think that he could do a theater.
2:16:56
SPEAKER_00: I think he would probably do something like an Arcata Theater or, you know.
2:17:04
SPEAKER_01: If David Lee Roth was doing a two-hour storytellers.
2:17:09
SPEAKER_00: Like an Agora.
2:17:10
SPEAKER_00: I think he'd do way
2:17:11
SPEAKER_01: bigger than that.
2:17:12
SPEAKER_01: You think so?
2:17:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:17:14
SPEAKER_01: He does that now with everybody that goes knowing he sucks.
2:17:19
SPEAKER_01: Every single person.
2:17:21
SPEAKER_01: Knows that they're in for a terrible night and they go anyway.
2:17:25
SPEAKER_01: I truly think David Lee Roth,
2:17:27
SPEAKER_01: if he was doing stories and he hired a guitar player and one guy to walk around with
2:17:33
SPEAKER_01: a microphone and he took,
2:17:36
SPEAKER_01: can you imagine going to a show and having the fans ask David Lee Roth questions?
2:17:43
SPEAKER_01: The answers that would come out of that?
2:17:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it'd be wacky.
2:17:47
SPEAKER_01: How much would you spend?
2:17:48
SPEAKER_01: I would spend a lot to see that.
2:17:50
SPEAKER_00: Well, it would be like what Charlie Sheen did years ago when he was doing the Tiger Blood.
2:17:56
SPEAKER_00: The Tiger Blood thing.
2:17:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:17:58
SPEAKER_01: And he was selling out big rooms.
2:18:00
SPEAKER_01: He was.
2:18:02
SPEAKER_01: And this guy's way bigger than Charlie Sheen,
2:18:04
SPEAKER_01: I would argue, as far as his importance in pop culture history.
2:18:12
SPEAKER_01: Don't you think Roth is a bigger celebrity than Charlie Sheen?
2:18:15
SPEAKER_00: But does this storyteller thing have a shelf life?
2:18:20
SPEAKER_00: The man is 77.
2:18:22
SPEAKER_00: I understand,
2:18:24
SPEAKER_00: but my point is,
2:18:25
SPEAKER_00: is could he do this one time around or could he do this,
2:18:29
SPEAKER_00: you know, several years in a row?
2:18:33
SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
2:18:35
SPEAKER_01: I think it just depends on how you sell it.
2:18:38
SPEAKER_01: How about the first year you do the first two Van Halen records?
2:18:44
SPEAKER_01: The next time,
2:18:44
SPEAKER_01: the next year,
2:18:45
SPEAKER_01: next two years, whatever it is, you do Eat Em and Smile through DLR band records.
2:18:54
SPEAKER_01: Then you come back and you do Women and Children first in 1984.
2:19:00
SPEAKER_01: You just break it down.
2:19:02
SPEAKER_01: You don't just try and do the entire Van Halen thing.
2:19:05
SPEAKER_01: You have a little bit of forethought.
2:19:07
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
2:19:08
SPEAKER_01: And you say, look, Storytellers with Diamond Dave.
2:19:14
SPEAKER_01: Talking about the first two Van Halen records, taking your questions, $150 a ticket.
2:19:22
SPEAKER_01: He'll play acoustically only songs from the first two records.
2:19:25
SPEAKER_01: That fucking show sells out.
2:19:28
SPEAKER_00: So what venue do you do this to wear?
2:19:31
SPEAKER_00: 5,000 Cedar.
2:19:35
SPEAKER_00: 5,000 Cedar.
2:19:36
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
2:19:36
SPEAKER_01: Like the, what is that place called?
2:19:39
SPEAKER_01: Nautica Stage here in Cleveland.
2:19:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:19:41
SPEAKER_01: Is that $5,000?
2:19:42
SPEAKER_01: Roughly.
2:19:42
SPEAKER_01: $3,000 to $5,000.
2:19:44
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:19:45
SPEAKER_00: What size is that Rocksino?
2:19:48
SPEAKER_00: Probably $2,000.
2:19:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:19:51
SPEAKER_01: He'd sell that out.
2:19:52
SPEAKER_00: I have no doubt he'd sell that out.
2:19:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, he played at the Hard Rock Casino here.
2:19:58
SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
2:19:59
SPEAKER_00: And that, I think that probably $3,000.
2:20:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:20:06
SPEAKER_01: And how did he sell?
2:20:06
SPEAKER_01: Did he sell it out?
2:20:08
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what the sales numbers were.
2:20:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm just thinking people would love that.
2:20:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
2:20:15
SPEAKER_00: but what I'm trying to say is you're describing an intimate setting for question
2:20:23
SPEAKER_00: and answer time.
2:20:25
SPEAKER_00: What I'm looking at is logistics for people who are 5,000 people deep.
2:20:32
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you the logistics of it.
2:20:34
SPEAKER_01: Those that sit in the first 10 rows and pay $500 a fucking ticket,
2:20:38
SPEAKER_01: they get to ask their questions.
2:20:40
SPEAKER_00: So you get the front row people.
2:20:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:20:45
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:20:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm just getting your vision on what this thing looks like.
2:20:48
SPEAKER_01: I don't think the guy that fucking bought a scalper ticket for $14 outside
2:20:53
SPEAKER_01: the venue should get a question.
2:20:55
SPEAKER_01: But at least in that circumstance, that's so much better than doing like a meet and greet.
2:21:02
SPEAKER_01: I mean, wouldn't that be better for you?
2:21:05
SPEAKER_01: For you as a fan, just as a fan.
2:21:09
SPEAKER_01: What would you rather see?
2:21:10
SPEAKER_01: If the ticket was $150, would you pay to see what we've got now?
2:21:16
SPEAKER_01: Or would you pay to see him tell stories about the first two Van Halen records
2:21:23
SPEAKER_01: and sing seven or eight songs along the way, acoustically?
2:21:27
SPEAKER_00: Well, I went to the Kevin Smith show.
2:21:31
SPEAKER_00: Thing when he was doing the tour around and he was talking about,
2:21:34
SPEAKER_00: you know, answering questions and stuff.
2:21:36
SPEAKER_00: And he did this at the Chicago theater.
2:21:38
SPEAKER_01: I saw the other guy do it.
2:21:40
SPEAKER_01: Jay.
2:21:41
SPEAKER_01: Remember when he did it here, me and Stephanie went.
2:21:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:21:45
SPEAKER_00: Same thing.
2:21:45
SPEAKER_00: And what, and what was the size of that place?
2:21:48
SPEAKER_01: Oh, maybe 200.
2:21:51
SPEAKER_00: It was small.
2:21:52
SPEAKER_00: It was small.
2:21:53
SPEAKER_01: It was just a comedy club.
2:21:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:21:56
SPEAKER_00: So, so, uh, Kevin Smith did the Chicago Theater and my nephew and I went to this.
2:22:04
SPEAKER_00: And it was sold out.
2:22:06
SPEAKER_00: And all he did basically is sit up there on stage and tell stories about the movies
2:22:12
SPEAKER_00: and the Jay and Silent Bob and all this stuff.
2:22:16
SPEAKER_00: It was very entertaining.
2:22:18
SPEAKER_00: And how much did you pay for it?
2:22:20
SPEAKER_00: I think it might have been 65 bucks or something.
2:22:24
SPEAKER_01: How much would you have paid for it if you could have also asked him a question?
2:22:28
SPEAKER_00: Maybe 100.
2:22:29
SPEAKER_00: There
2:22:31
SPEAKER_01: you go.
2:22:32
SPEAKER_01: That's for Kevin Smith, a guy that you can pretty much message on X and he'll answer.
2:22:37
SPEAKER_00: Willie?
2:22:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:22:39
SPEAKER_01: Dude, I used to message with him.
2:22:41
SPEAKER_01: Remember when we were carrying the Smodcast on the earliest incarnation of CMS Radio?
2:22:47
SPEAKER_01: I used to message back and forth with him all the time.
2:22:51
SPEAKER_01: He wasn't hard to get a hold of.
2:22:53
SPEAKER_01: Throw him an email, he'd email back.
2:22:55
SPEAKER_01: And you didn't invite him on?
2:22:57
SPEAKER_01: What the hell?
2:22:57
SPEAKER_01: What the hell?
2:22:59
SPEAKER_01: I think that might have been when I was that when I was off the show.
2:23:02
SPEAKER_00: It might have been.
2:23:03
SPEAKER_01: I think that was when I was off the show.
2:23:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:23:04
SPEAKER_00: But I was still doing shit.
2:23:06
SPEAKER_00: You were still running the back end of it.
2:23:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:23:08
SPEAKER_01: But I wasn't.
2:23:09
SPEAKER_01: I wasn't allowed to be on with that bastard Neely.
2:23:14
SPEAKER_00: The home wrecker.
2:23:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:23:16
SPEAKER_01: That guy's making you like this.
2:23:19
SPEAKER_01: He's making you like this.
2:23:21
SPEAKER_01: Are you fucking kidding me?
2:23:24
SPEAKER_01: Anybody that knows me should know I am the instigator of everything bad.
2:23:29
SPEAKER_01: Certainly wasn't you, the responsible one.
2:23:31
SPEAKER_01: It was me.
2:23:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he's cheering you on.
2:23:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:23:37
SPEAKER_00: We don't need any encouragement here.
2:23:39
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, him and everybody that was listening that thought I was hilarious.
2:23:43
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:23:47
SPEAKER_00: But no, I'm not disagreeing.
2:23:49
SPEAKER_00: I think that some of these guys in their twilight
2:23:52
SPEAKER_00: of their career could do very well doing the acoustic and storyteller thing.
2:24:00
SPEAKER_01: I think so too.
2:24:01
SPEAKER_01: And to be honest, I think there should be an age cap.
2:24:03
SPEAKER_01: I don't think anybody that's 80 years old should be out there fucking taking money to perform.
2:24:10
SPEAKER_01: Even Rolling Stones?
2:24:11
SPEAKER_01: No.
2:24:12
SPEAKER_01: Even Rolling Stones.
2:24:13
SPEAKER_01: Really?
2:24:13
SPEAKER_01: I don't care if they're good anymore.
2:24:16
SPEAKER_01: That's the point.
2:24:16
SPEAKER_01: They've overstayed their populace time.
2:24:21
SPEAKER_01: As good as the Stones are right now.
2:24:23
SPEAKER_01: And the last two records have been really, really good.
2:24:26
SPEAKER_01: Two of the strongest they've done in forever.
2:24:28
SPEAKER_00: And I agree.
2:24:29
SPEAKER_00: And that was kind of funny because when we were having dinner,
2:24:33
SPEAKER_00: the Dockin' Boys,
2:24:36
SPEAKER_00: I asked at the table, I said, anybody hear that latest Rolling Stones release?
2:24:40
SPEAKER_00: And everybody's like, yeah, that was surprisingly good.
2:24:43
SPEAKER_00: And everybody agreed.
2:24:44
SPEAKER_00: They said, man, that was a really strong record.
2:24:48
SPEAKER_01: It is.
2:24:48
SPEAKER_01: And the one before it was strong, too, with Angry.
2:24:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that Hackney Diamonds.
2:24:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:24:54
SPEAKER_01: Those are two great records.
2:24:55
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
2:24:56
SPEAKER_01: I wish we never got them.
2:24:58
SPEAKER_01: Because they should be retired.
2:25:02
SPEAKER_01: They're too old for us to care anymore.
2:25:05
SPEAKER_01: But we liked it.
2:25:06
SPEAKER_01: I did like it.
2:25:08
SPEAKER_01: I did like it.
2:25:09
SPEAKER_01: But they're too old for us to care anymore.
2:25:11
SPEAKER_01: You know, my buddy, my buddy, Paul, who I don't know.
2:25:15
SPEAKER_01: Do you know, Paul, the guy that owns Playtime for You?
2:25:19
SPEAKER_01: He was Bob's friend.
2:25:22
SPEAKER_01: And he's still my friend.
2:25:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I can't.
2:25:24
SPEAKER_00: You don't know him.
2:25:25
SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
2:25:25
SPEAKER_01: No.
2:25:26
SPEAKER_01: But he was sending me videos last night from Deep Purple in Kansas.
2:25:32
SPEAKER_01: He went and saw Deep Purple in Kansas last night.
2:25:34
SPEAKER_00: Did Richie Blackmore make an appearance?
2:25:36
SPEAKER_01: No, he did not.
2:25:38
SPEAKER_01: Mr. Sweats tucked into the white socks did not show up.
2:25:44
SPEAKER_01: But I asked him, I said, how was it?
2:25:47
SPEAKER_01: Was the singer good?
2:25:48
SPEAKER_01: And I'll read you his exact quote.
2:25:50
SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
2:25:51
SPEAKER_01: Let me get my phone right here.
2:25:54
SPEAKER_01: Messages.
2:25:55
SPEAKER_01: Where's Paul?
2:25:56
SPEAKER_01: Paul Fink.
2:25:58
SPEAKER_01: The singer for Deep Purple started out really strong on the first song.
2:26:03
SPEAKER_01: Then after that, his voice was cracking, but it still sounded amazing.
2:26:07
SPEAKER_01: Great venue.
2:26:08
SPEAKER_01: So in one sentence, I'm already hearing about the fucking venue.
2:26:15
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not saying that Ian Gillen can't sing.
2:26:17
SPEAKER_01: I'm saying he's 80 years old.
2:26:19
SPEAKER_01: Can't fucking see.
2:26:20
SPEAKER_01: Retire.
2:26:21
SPEAKER_01: Retire.
2:26:23
SPEAKER_01: These guys all should have to retire.
2:26:27
SPEAKER_01: Honestly, I think it's 70 years old, not even 80.
2:26:31
SPEAKER_01: But we're already into the 80 for so many of these guys.
2:26:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:26:34
SPEAKER_00: You're just an ageist, Chris.
2:26:36
SPEAKER_01: I am ageist when it comes... Dude, rock stars are not supposed to be rock stars.
2:26:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, they're not supposed to last forever.
2:26:44
SPEAKER_01: I get that.
2:26:46
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:26:47
SPEAKER_01: What made them special was that they were bigger than life.
2:26:52
SPEAKER_01: And now they're not...
2:26:55
SPEAKER_01: Again, I'll use Ian Gillen as a perfect example.
2:26:58
SPEAKER_01: I know Ian can still sing these songs.
2:27:01
SPEAKER_01: I've seen enough videos.
2:27:03
SPEAKER_01: I know he can still sing the songs.
2:27:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm not doubting that.
2:27:07
SPEAKER_01: But he looks like a feeble old grandfather at the fucking talent show at a nursing home.
2:27:14
SPEAKER_01: He doesn't, he's not bigger than life anymore.
2:27:19
SPEAKER_01: He's Uncle June singing songs to the wall.
2:27:24
SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm saying.
2:27:26
SPEAKER_00: So your argument here,
2:27:28
SPEAKER_00: for lack of a better description, you would prefer to preserve the legacy.
2:27:36
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely.
2:27:37
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
2:27:38
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:27:38
SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
2:27:39
SPEAKER_01: I would like to not see these guys embarrass themselves,
2:27:45
SPEAKER_01: especially in an age where that's never going to go away.
2:27:50
SPEAKER_01: When Dokken retires,
2:27:52
SPEAKER_01: When David Lee Roth retires,
2:27:54
SPEAKER_01: when either of those guys pass away, what are we going to be left with?
2:28:00
SPEAKER_01: Tiny, tiny little bits of memories on YouTube from their heyday,
2:28:06
SPEAKER_01: from 1985, and lots and lots of 2025 and 2026s.
2:28:13
SPEAKER_01: And for the people that don't know and they're just looking to hear old music
2:28:17
SPEAKER_01: the way we did for the Beatles and the Who and Zeppelin and all those bands
2:28:23
SPEAKER_01: that were already gone before we really got into our musical lives,
2:28:29
SPEAKER_01: their look back is going to be Vince Neil going,
2:28:36
SPEAKER_01: and they're not going to look past that to see if Motley Crue was any good.
2:28:40
SPEAKER_01: They're going to absolutely be like, nah, that fucking sucks.
2:28:43

2:29:27
SPEAKER_01: And that, to me, is a big problem because it makes...
2:29:33
SPEAKER_01: Everything look worse.
2:29:34
SPEAKER_01: You can't raise a new band when the old bands are still out there performing poorly.
2:29:40
SPEAKER_01: I think it's one of the biggest reasons, one of,
2:29:43
SPEAKER_01: and again,
2:29:43
SPEAKER_01: not the biggest reason,
2:29:45
SPEAKER_01: but it's one of the biggest reasons that we have no new talent because
2:29:49
SPEAKER_01: the old talent won't go away and they just go out there and play like shit.
2:29:53
SPEAKER_01: So even if a new band tours with An old band that sucks?
2:29:59
SPEAKER_01: They get no bite from that.
2:30:01
SPEAKER_01: Because all the person that goes to that fucking Motley Crue show
2:30:05
SPEAKER_01: or David Lee Roth show, what do they go away with?
2:30:09
SPEAKER_01: A bad impression.
2:30:10
SPEAKER_01: What did we go away with when we left Van Halen in the Wisconsin show?
2:30:18
SPEAKER_01: Did we come away from that thinking, man, Van Halen, they still got it.
2:30:23
SPEAKER_00: No, I left after the third song.
2:30:25
SPEAKER_01: And me and Scotty went and sat out in the car because we couldn't get John to leave.
2:30:32
SPEAKER_01: So we went and sat in the car because sitting in the car was more pleasing
2:30:39
SPEAKER_01: than watching David Lee Roth.
2:30:41
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:30:43
SPEAKER_01: You know, that's sad.
2:30:47
SPEAKER_01: When it gets to a good point, whoever just said that, Axl Rose, another one.
2:30:53
SPEAKER_01: Retire.
2:30:55
SPEAKER_01: Just retire.
2:30:57
SPEAKER_01: I was texting back and forth with Corey.
2:31:01
SPEAKER_01: You know Corey, Corey Harker.
2:31:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:31:04
SPEAKER_01: And he was like, I think Guns N' Roses really got their sound down.
2:31:07
SPEAKER_01: I was like, what are you fucking talking about?
2:31:10
SPEAKER_00: What do you mean they got their sound down?
2:31:11
SPEAKER_01: Got their sound down.
2:31:13
SPEAKER_01: What does that mean?
2:31:14
SPEAKER_01: He was trying to tell me that the reason Axl was having problems was
2:31:18
SPEAKER_01: because he had TMJ or something.
2:31:22
SPEAKER_01: And I'm like, dude.
2:31:23
SPEAKER_01: And again, that goes to my point.
2:31:25
SPEAKER_01: If he's got an illness, get off the fucking road.
2:31:29
SPEAKER_01: If you've got something preventing you from doing the job.
2:31:33
SPEAKER_01: And I've said this all along.
2:31:35
SPEAKER_01: I said this about these guys that play when they're sitting in their chairs.
2:31:39
SPEAKER_01: Because they're broken down.
2:31:41
SPEAKER_01: Phil Collins.
2:31:44
SPEAKER_01: Guns and Roses when Axl broke his.
2:31:45
SPEAKER_01: Or ACDC when they had Axl Rose and he broke his fucking foot.
2:31:51
SPEAKER_01: Dave Grohl.
2:31:52
SPEAKER_01: You're charging full fucking price to give half a fucking performance.
2:31:57
SPEAKER_01: That's bullshit.
2:32:00
SPEAKER_01: If you can't do it to the top level, that makes you a top level performer.
2:32:05
SPEAKER_01: And that's if you're Vixen or if you're U2 or anybody in between.
2:32:12
SPEAKER_01: If you can't do it at the top level, then get the fuck off the stages.
2:32:17
SPEAKER_01: Stop clogging the stages just to get some cash.
2:32:23
SPEAKER_01: And let the next wave in.
2:32:26
SPEAKER_01: Let them in.
2:32:28
SPEAKER_01: We're literally, the kind of music we like is going to die.
2:32:32
SPEAKER_01: You know why?
2:32:33
SPEAKER_01: Because we haven't had anybody help bring it up.
2:32:37
SPEAKER_01: There's not one fucking band that you could point to that you could say,
2:32:42
SPEAKER_01: well, that band was brought up by Metallica, Pantera, Testament,
2:32:51
SPEAKER_01: Exodus, Rat.
2:32:53
SPEAKER_01: Judas Priest,
2:32:54
SPEAKER_01: name a band, a newer band that was brought up by any of those in the last 15 years.
2:33:04
SPEAKER_01: Can't do it, right?
2:33:06
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:33:07
SPEAKER_00: And again,
2:33:07
SPEAKER_00: the business has changed too because there really isn't quote unquote record labels
2:33:14
SPEAKER_00: that do A&R and they don't do artist development anymore.
2:33:22
SPEAKER_00: Because there's just no money in it.
2:33:24
SPEAKER_01: No.
2:33:25
SPEAKER_01: No, it's all quick hitter shit.
2:33:27
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:33:28
SPEAKER_01: That's really what it is.
2:33:30
SPEAKER_01: And the bands are on board too.
2:33:32
SPEAKER_01: I get it.
2:33:33
SPEAKER_01: Believe me, I'm not trying to say that the bands aren't being smart here.
2:33:37
SPEAKER_01: A band like Vixen,
2:33:40
SPEAKER_01: Trickster,
2:33:42
SPEAKER_01: Quiet Riot,
2:33:44
SPEAKER_01: these bands are making more money than they've probably made in the last 30 years.
2:33:50
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't matter that there's any original members.
2:33:54
SPEAKER_01: Nothing matters except that logo
2:33:57
SPEAKER_00: on the backdrop.
2:33:58
SPEAKER_00: Well, again, our good friend Bob Nelbandian had a good foresight about the band versus brand.
2:34:06
SPEAKER_00: And as long as you see that brand on that backdrop, that's what people care about.
2:34:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:34:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to answer Forehead E. Trunk in the chat room here.
2:34:16
SPEAKER_01: He says, Chris, what do you mean by brought up?
2:34:18
SPEAKER_01: Mentored?
2:34:19
SPEAKER_01: What I mean is, Every band I discovered in the 80s, I discovered from seeing another band.
2:34:28
SPEAKER_01: I discovered, like we had Jamie St. James on last week from Black and Blue.
2:34:32
SPEAKER_01: Know how I discovered Black and Blue?
2:34:34
SPEAKER_01: I went to see Kiss on the All Night Tour and they were the opener.
2:34:40
SPEAKER_01: And I didn't know shit about them.
2:34:42
SPEAKER_01: And within two days after seeing them,
2:34:45
SPEAKER_01: I had purchased like two or three of their albums,
2:34:49
SPEAKER_01: however many albums they had out at the time.
2:34:52
SPEAKER_01: Because I saw them.
2:34:55
SPEAKER_01: I discovered Slaughter opening for Damn Yankees.
2:35:01
SPEAKER_01: I discovered Rat opening for Bon Jovi.
2:35:08
SPEAKER_01: I mean, that was how it was back in the day.
2:35:12
SPEAKER_01: You saw a band, and then you saw their other bands, and they brought them up.
2:35:17
SPEAKER_01: There's none of that now.
2:35:19
SPEAKER_01: Now it's all, well, if you can buy onto the tour, you can be on.
2:35:24
SPEAKER_01: There's no loyalty.
2:35:28
SPEAKER_01: There's no loyalty to the game is what I think.
2:35:33
SPEAKER_01: Back then there seemed like there was loyalty to the game.
2:35:37
SPEAKER_01: Now it seems like there's no loyalty to the game.
2:35:39
SPEAKER_01: It's like,
2:35:40
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to bring an equally good band out because then I'm going
2:35:44
SPEAKER_01: to make less money.
2:35:46
SPEAKER_01: The casino's not going to pay me $30,000 if they're paying the opening band $20,000.
2:35:52
SPEAKER_01: So we're not going to do it.
2:35:54
SPEAKER_01: We're going to bring a lesser band or an unknown band that will pay us $50,000 for 10 shows.
2:36:02
SPEAKER_01: Right, Red Rain?
2:36:05
SPEAKER_01: Am I wrong on
2:36:06
SPEAKER_00: any of this?
2:36:07
SPEAKER_00: No, you're not wrong.
2:36:08
SPEAKER_00: And that all started with OzFest.
2:36:10
SPEAKER_01: It did.
2:36:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:36:13
SPEAKER_01: Because OzFest was a total...
2:36:16
SPEAKER_01: If you weren't on the main stage, you bought your way on to the second one.
2:36:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:36:19
SPEAKER_00: I mean, remember Beautiful Creatures?
2:36:22
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
2:36:23
SPEAKER_00: You know what it cost them to be on that first OzFest when they were on there?
2:36:27
SPEAKER_00: I'd imagine six figures minimum.
2:36:29
SPEAKER_00: No, it was $80,000.
2:36:31
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:36:31
SPEAKER_00: Close.
2:36:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:36:33
SPEAKER_00: So Joe Lestay of Bangtango.
2:36:37
SPEAKER_00: Put together beautiful creatures,
2:36:39
SPEAKER_00: but to be on OzFest,
2:36:41
SPEAKER_00: they had to pay $80,000,
2:36:43
SPEAKER_00: plus their expenses for travel and hotels and all this other stuff.
2:36:50
SPEAKER_00: And the only saving grace that they had was if they could possibly sell some merch.
2:36:58
SPEAKER_01: Which, who's going to buy a beautiful creatures t-shirt
2:37:00
SPEAKER_01: at a fucking Black Sabbath show?
2:37:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:37:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:37:05
SPEAKER_01: They're going to buy Black Sabbath.
2:37:06
SPEAKER_01: They're going to buy Pantera.
2:37:08
SPEAKER_01: They're going to buy Type O Negative.
2:37:10
SPEAKER_01: Whoever was on the main stage for that set, I don't remember.
2:37:13
SPEAKER_00: I was listening to an old O&A show,
2:37:17
SPEAKER_00: and Rob Dukes just happened to come into the studio just as a friend of Otto
2:37:24
SPEAKER_01: and George.
2:37:25
SPEAKER_01: And so...
2:37:31
SPEAKER_00: Anthony was asking Rob Dukes if Exodus ever played on OzFest.
2:37:39
SPEAKER_00: And he said, no, it just doesn't make any sense for us to do that.
2:37:42
SPEAKER_00: He goes, well, why?
2:37:45
SPEAKER_00: And he says, well, because it would cost us $100,000 to buy on.
2:37:53
SPEAKER_00: Then we would have to pay for our own bus at $1,000 a day.
2:37:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:37:59
SPEAKER_00: So that's another $50,000.
2:38:02
SPEAKER_00: And he said it just didn't make any sense for us to go on OzFest
2:38:06
SPEAKER_00: because we would have to spend $150,000 to $200,000.
2:38:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just to get there.
2:38:12
SPEAKER_00: Just to get there.
2:38:14
SPEAKER_01: Look at our friends,
2:38:15
SPEAKER_01: and I'm not going to get into numbers or anything here,
2:38:18
SPEAKER_01: but I will name them by name.
2:38:21
SPEAKER_01: Our friends in American Dog.
2:38:23
SPEAKER_01: They bought onto the Tesla tour and that ended the band.
2:38:27
SPEAKER_00: It bankrupted the band.
2:38:29
SPEAKER_00: Because I went to the House of Blues here in Chicago and hung out with the guys
2:38:34
SPEAKER_00: from American Dog for the Tesla show.
2:38:38
SPEAKER_00: And they were a great band.
2:38:39
SPEAKER_00: They were a great band.
2:38:41
SPEAKER_00: And their only hope was that people would buy their merchandise.
2:38:45
SPEAKER_01: Their CDs and their shirts.
2:38:47
SPEAKER_01: And people didn't.
2:38:47
SPEAKER_00: To try to help offset some of the costs that they incurred to be on that tour.
2:38:52
SPEAKER_01: And again, it's the same thing.
2:38:53
SPEAKER_01: Who's going to buy a fucking American Dog shirt?
2:38:57
SPEAKER_01: At a Tesla show,
2:39:00
SPEAKER_01: you're going to get one person for every thousand Tesla shirts buying one of yours.
2:39:06
SPEAKER_01: You know,
2:39:06
SPEAKER_01: and then they probably had to pay a percentage of that to the fucking venue on top
2:39:10
SPEAKER_00: of that.
2:39:11
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'll tell you as a fact,
2:39:17
SPEAKER_00: this past two shows that I did with Dokken, they had to pay 20% of the merch.
2:39:27
SPEAKER_01: Which is criminal.
2:39:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, shirt sales.
2:39:30
SPEAKER_01: That's criminal.
2:39:32
SPEAKER_01: Is the bar paying 20% of the bar tab?
2:39:36
SPEAKER_01: Are they giving that to the band?
2:39:38
SPEAKER_01: The band is selling the booze.
2:39:40
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:39:41
SPEAKER_01: Not the fucking club, the band.
2:39:44
SPEAKER_01: People are drinking because it's hot and sweaty because of their performance.
2:39:49
SPEAKER_01: But the club don't give any of that.
2:39:51
SPEAKER_01: Club owners are another bunch of fucking scumbag cunts.
2:39:54
SPEAKER_01: They really are.
2:39:56
SPEAKER_01: Just dicks.
2:40:00
SPEAKER_01: See, now I'm all worked up and angry.
2:40:02
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's a game.
2:40:05
SPEAKER_00: It's a money game.
2:40:06
SPEAKER_00: It's a business.
2:40:08
SPEAKER_00: You've got guys like Jim who are very passionate about his bands, which I get.
2:40:17
SPEAKER_00: I get it, too.
2:40:19
SPEAKER_00: But the thing is, when it comes down to the real nitty-gritty of a band situation...
2:40:28
SPEAKER_00: It's a business.
2:40:29
SPEAKER_00: It is.
2:40:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, it boils down to dollars and cents.
2:40:35
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:40:37
SPEAKER_00: It's just sad what it becomes.
2:40:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:40:40
SPEAKER_00: It's a business.
2:40:41
SPEAKER_00: It's less about the music and more about the revenue.
2:40:44
SPEAKER_01: Well, right now, I'd argue it has nothing to do with the fucking business.
2:40:48
SPEAKER_01: Nothing.
2:40:49
SPEAKER_01: Or with the talent.
2:40:51
SPEAKER_01: I don't think promoters give a flying fuck what a band sounds like.
2:40:55
SPEAKER_00: Like I said, it has nothing to do with the music and more to do with the revenue.
2:41:00
SPEAKER_00: Well, these guys can make me X amount of dollars.
2:41:03
SPEAKER_00: Exactly it.
2:41:04
SPEAKER_00: You know, I don't give a shit if they limp on stage.
2:41:07
SPEAKER_00: People are still coming out and buying a ticket and buying two,
2:41:11
SPEAKER_00: three, four drinks and buying a shirt and blah, blah, blah.
2:41:15
SPEAKER_00: And at the end of the night, I made...
2:41:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I made $50,000.
2:41:20
SPEAKER_00: $50,000.
2:41:21
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just fucking garbage.
2:41:26
SPEAKER_00: God, I hate this fucking business so bad.
2:41:28
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what it is.
2:41:29
SPEAKER_00: It's just what it is.
2:41:32
SPEAKER_01: But what it is for us as people that are,
2:41:35
SPEAKER_01: that our bands are in that 60,
2:41:38
SPEAKER_01: 70, 80 years old range, it's just the worst of all of it.
2:41:44
SPEAKER_01: Because we're literally watching Our favorites go up there in just horrendous shape.
2:41:52
SPEAKER_01: And there's so many.
2:41:55
SPEAKER_01: The Frankie Valli, the Phil Collins, Gordon Lightfoot before he passed away.
2:42:00
SPEAKER_01: They trotted that old skeleton out there.
2:42:03
SPEAKER_01: They probably took him out of a fucking hospital where he posed for fucking bones.
2:42:09
SPEAKER_01: He looked ridiculously sick.
2:42:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was pathetically thin.
2:42:16
SPEAKER_01: He looked like somebody in the final stages of AIDS.
2:42:23
SPEAKER_01: He did.
2:42:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm not even saying that to be funny.
2:42:26
SPEAKER_01: He looked like somebody.
2:42:28
SPEAKER_01: And I was not surprised at all when he died.
2:42:31
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't think he weighed 140 pounds.
2:42:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:42:35
SPEAKER_01: He was like six foot three or something, wasn't he?
2:42:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what you call death warmed over.
2:42:40
SPEAKER_01: Oh.
2:42:41
SPEAKER_01: And he didn't sound good either.
2:42:43
SPEAKER_01: And no one gave a fuck.
2:42:44
SPEAKER_01: Same with Frankie Valli.
2:42:47
SPEAKER_01: I think I saw he finally said, I'm done.
2:42:50
SPEAKER_01: But, I mean, come on.
2:42:52
SPEAKER_01: He's up there like a fucking mannequin.
2:42:56
SPEAKER_01: And they just like, whatever.
2:42:58
SPEAKER_01: They wheel his ass out there.
2:43:00
SPEAKER_01: Get out there, fuckwad.
2:43:02
SPEAKER_01: Phil Collins.
2:43:04
SPEAKER_01: They couldn't even get that guy a nice chair.
2:43:07
SPEAKER_01: They fucking brought him out in office furniture.
2:43:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:43:11
SPEAKER_01: Brought him out on a chair they bought at Ikea for fucking $15.
2:43:15
SPEAKER_00: At an office depot.
2:43:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:43:19
SPEAKER_01: Probably wasn't even an office depot.
2:43:21
SPEAKER_01: Probably wasn't even a new chair.
2:43:23
SPEAKER_01: I'll bet it's some bullshit that they had laying around at Genesis headquarters,
2:43:28
SPEAKER_01: wherever that is.
2:43:29
SPEAKER_00: And then the guy in Glendale sniffed it.
2:43:34
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
2:43:38
SPEAKER_01: Yuck.
2:43:40
SPEAKER_01: Pew, pew, pewdio.
2:43:42
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
2:43:56
SPEAKER_01: Look, everybody,
2:43:58
SPEAKER_01: I have spent 30 years in the loudest rooms in the world,
2:44:01
SPEAKER_01: and I can tell you one thing for certain.
2:44:05
SPEAKER_01: I've got zero time for weak coffee or woke nonsense.
2:44:09
SPEAKER_01: Guess that's actually two things I don't care.
2:44:13
SPEAKER_01: If you're like me,
2:44:14
SPEAKER_01: you're tired of giving up your money to corporate sellouts who hate your values.
2:44:19

SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:45:32
SPEAKER_01: I know I'm bitching and moaning a lot about this.
2:45:34
SPEAKER_01: Let's move forward.
2:45:35
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:45:36
SPEAKER_00: Let's get into
2:45:37
SPEAKER_01: some new tunage.
2:45:39
SPEAKER_01: All right.
2:45:39
SPEAKER_01: Let's do some new tunes.
2:45:42
SPEAKER_01: Let's start with, I'm going to be honest, I have not heard this one yet.
2:45:49
SPEAKER_01: So we're going to all have this one together.
2:45:52
SPEAKER_01: Brand new solo music from Kai Hansen of Halloween.
2:45:58
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:45:59
SPEAKER_01: I guess he has a solo record coming out.
2:46:02
SPEAKER_01: It has a new song.
2:46:02
SPEAKER_01: It's called Wait and See.
2:46:05
SPEAKER_01: And since they said to wait and see,
2:46:07
SPEAKER_01: I figured I would wait and see until we could listen to it together.
2:46:10
SPEAKER_01: So I've not heard this, but let's see what we got.
2:46:13
SPEAKER_01: Here it is.
2:46:13
SPEAKER_00: What is this, Arizona?
2:46:15
SPEAKER_00: Is he in Arizona?
2:46:17
SPEAKER_01: I guess.
2:46:17
SPEAKER_00: That's what this looks like to me.
2:46:20
SPEAKER_01: Looks like the same hotel the Rolling Stones were at.
2:46:22
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
2:47:00
SPEAKER_01: This is a message to Mayor Applebaum and anybody else that does mixing and mastering.
2:47:07
SPEAKER_01: Stop with that effect!
2:47:13
SPEAKER_00: That was kind of funny.
2:47:15
SPEAKER_00: A fan came up to Don and was talking about the albums, the stocking albums, and of course...
2:47:22
SPEAKER_00: Shadow Life came up.
2:47:24
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
2:47:25
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I kind of chimed in there.
2:47:29
SPEAKER_00: I said, yeah, well, we don't even count that as a docket album.
2:47:34
SPEAKER_00: And Don was just like,
2:47:35
SPEAKER_00: yeah, he said, they put that fucking effect on my voice on that puppet on a string.
2:47:41
SPEAKER_00: He says, goddamn that Kelly Gray, that fucking asshole.
2:47:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:47:46
SPEAKER_00: He said, I absolutely hate that album.
2:47:49
SPEAKER_00: He said, there's two songs on that album I like and the rest of it is garbage.
2:47:54
SPEAKER_00: That's so funny.
2:47:56
SPEAKER_00: That's the interview that you got hung up on.
2:47:58
SPEAKER_01: It is.
2:47:59
SPEAKER_01: He hung up on me because I asked him what he thought of it or where it stood in the rankings.
2:48:06
SPEAKER_01: And he literally said, I got to find that tape.
2:48:10
SPEAKER_01: If that tape still exists, I will have that next time we have Don on the show.
2:48:14
SPEAKER_01: Just because I want to play that for him.
2:48:16
SPEAKER_01: Because I asked him, I said, where does this stand in the docking catalog?
2:48:20
SPEAKER_01: And without hesitation, he said, I think it's the best thing we've ever done.
2:48:24
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, really?
2:48:27
SPEAKER_01: And he's like, well, what do you think?
2:48:29
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, are you asking me what I think?
2:48:31
SPEAKER_01: And he's like, yeah, yeah.
2:48:32
SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
2:48:33
SPEAKER_01: And I was like, this album is terrible.
2:48:36
SPEAKER_01: And I told him straight up, I said, you sound bad.
2:48:39
SPEAKER_01: Lynch sounds bad.
2:48:40
SPEAKER_01: This doesn't sound like docking at all.
2:48:43
SPEAKER_01: It's terrible.
2:48:44
SPEAKER_01: And he was just like, click.
2:48:47
SPEAKER_00: That's funny.
2:48:48
SPEAKER_00: He talked about that effect.
2:48:51
SPEAKER_00: I said, yeah, Chris and I refer to that as the fucky effect.
2:48:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:48:56
SPEAKER_00: And we're right.
2:48:58
SPEAKER_01: I hate when anyone uses it.
2:49:01
SPEAKER_01: And more and more people that don't need,
2:49:04
SPEAKER_01: like we played that plush song last,
2:49:06
SPEAKER_01: was it last week or two weeks ago or whatever it was?
2:49:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and they put that effect on her voice.
2:49:10
SPEAKER_01: How do you put that effect on that voice?
2:49:14
SPEAKER_01: What possible reason could you have as a producer to hear such a clean,
2:49:21
SPEAKER_01: perfect, pitched voice and say, you know what this needs?
2:49:26
SPEAKER_01: This needs to sound like it was sung through a megaphone.
2:49:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we need some distortion on that voice.
2:49:33
SPEAKER_01: We need to make this way worse than it is.
2:49:36
SPEAKER_01: What the fuck?
2:49:38
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
2:49:40
SPEAKER_01: More of Kai Hansen.
2:49:43
SPEAKER_01: Wait and see.
2:49:45
SPEAKER_02: The world that you create.
2:50:28
SPEAKER_01: All right, I'm done with this song.
2:50:30
SPEAKER_01: They're doing the whole song in that fucking effect.
2:50:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's terrible.
2:50:34
SPEAKER_00: Done.
2:50:35
SPEAKER_00: Out.
2:50:35
SPEAKER_00: You know who Kai Hansen is looking like these days?
2:50:38
SPEAKER_00: Who?
2:50:39
SPEAKER_00: He's looking like Michael Madsen near the end of his life.
2:50:43
SPEAKER_00: He is good enough.
2:50:45
SPEAKER_00: He does.
2:50:45
SPEAKER_00: He's got the cowboy hat on and looking kind of raggy.
2:50:51
SPEAKER_01: He sort of reminds me of the dude from Accept, the current guy, Tornillo.
2:50:57
SPEAKER_00: Tornillo, yeah.
2:50:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he looks like him a little bit, too.
2:51:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just kind of ratty looking.
2:51:02
SPEAKER_01: Sure doesn't seem
2:51:03
SPEAKER_00: like him, though.
2:51:03
SPEAKER_00: Jesus.
2:51:04
SPEAKER_00: But he does look like Michael Madsen.
2:51:07
SPEAKER_01: He does.
2:51:08
SPEAKER_01: Oh, he definitely does.
2:51:11
SPEAKER_01: All right, enough of that one.
2:51:13
SPEAKER_01: Let's go to this one.
2:51:16
SPEAKER_00: I like the fact that
2:51:19
SPEAKER_00: his logo looks like the Halloween logo with his name Hanson.
2:51:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:51:25
SPEAKER_01: Well, you can't get too far away from the brand now, can you?
2:51:28
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:51:30
SPEAKER_00: Got to make it recognizable.
2:51:31
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
2:51:33
SPEAKER_01: Well, let's move forward.
2:51:36
SPEAKER_01: Fear Factory.
2:51:38
SPEAKER_01: And I know you're not a huge fan of Fear Factory, but...
2:51:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the industrial metal.
2:51:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:51:42
SPEAKER_01: They have a new song out.
2:51:45
SPEAKER_00: And the only reason I'm bringing it to this show... Who's in Fear Factory?
2:51:48
SPEAKER_01: That is your question.
2:51:50
SPEAKER_01: It is...
2:51:50
SPEAKER_01: I have no idea who's playing drums.
2:51:53
SPEAKER_01: I think Tony Campos from Static X is playing bass.
2:51:59
SPEAKER_01: Dino Cazares is the guitar player still.
2:52:03
SPEAKER_01: And new singer Milo Silvestro.
2:52:07
SPEAKER_01: So this is Milo's.
2:52:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, exactly.
2:52:10
SPEAKER_01: This is Milo's debut.
2:52:11
SPEAKER_01: Now, he has toured for a little while with them, and he's a Burton Bell ripoff.
2:52:18
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he really is.
2:52:19
SPEAKER_00: He sounds just like Burton.
2:52:21
SPEAKER_00: Well, isn't that the goal?
2:52:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:52:23
SPEAKER_00: Get the original guy, get somebody who sounds like him.
2:52:26
SPEAKER_00: Get the next best guy.
2:52:28
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:52:29
SPEAKER_01: So this is their first video.
2:52:31
SPEAKER_01: I have watched this several times.
2:52:33
SPEAKER_01: The video stinks.
2:52:34
SPEAKER_01: The video is just.
2:52:37
SPEAKER_01: You want to complain about AI?
2:52:38
SPEAKER_01: I'll let you on this one.
2:52:39
SPEAKER_01: Ooh, this is not good.
2:52:42
SPEAKER_01: But this is called Roboticist.
2:52:45
SPEAKER_01: So let's check it out.
2:52:46
SPEAKER_01: This is a brand new Fear Factory.
2:52:52
SPEAKER_01: Maybe, if it ever decides to load.
2:52:56
SPEAKER_01: Come on.
2:52:57
SPEAKER_01: There we go.
2:53:09
SPEAKER_01: This looks like Eric's show.
2:53:11
SPEAKER_01: Connect the neural scanner.
2:53:12
SPEAKER_01: We're ready to begin the transfer.
2:53:15
SPEAKER_01: Today, flesh becomes machine.
2:53:19
SPEAKER_01: I think that's Mike Heller, isn't it?
2:53:22
SPEAKER_01: The guy with the beard?
2:53:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:53:37
SPEAKER_02: Sounds like every Fear Factory song I've ever heard.
2:54:04
SPEAKER_00: Well, they're like ACDC of the industrial metal.
2:54:10
SPEAKER_00: I'll play a little more.
2:54:11
SPEAKER_00: You know exactly what you're getting.
2:54:12
SPEAKER_01: I mean, would you know this is any different as a casual fan,
2:54:16
SPEAKER_01: as any different from the Burton stuff?
2:54:18
SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't either.
2:54:20
SPEAKER_01: It all sounds kind of the same.
2:54:23
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
2:54:51
SPEAKER_02: I
2:55:02
SPEAKER_01: say it's pretty heavy for a bunch of old fucks.
2:55:06
SPEAKER_01: Dino's got to be pushing 60.
2:55:07
SPEAKER_00: This is one of those bands that I have to take in small doses.
2:55:11
SPEAKER_01: I love them.
2:55:12
SPEAKER_00: I know you do.
2:55:13
SPEAKER_01: You know I love them.
2:55:16
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's all the dose I'm going to give you that.
2:55:18
SPEAKER_01: You got the gist.
2:55:20
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
2:55:21
SPEAKER_01: Sounds like Fear Factory.
2:55:23
SPEAKER_01: For anybody that was curious if it was going to sound like Fear Factory, yes.
2:55:30
SPEAKER_02: Hey metalheads!
2:55:31

2:55:46
SPEAKER_02: now here's one, this next one that we'll go with here.
2:55:48
SPEAKER_02: I don't hate it, but I don't love it.
2:55:49
SPEAKER_02: And I know...
2:56:13
SPEAKER_01: Jim Jackal,
2:56:14
SPEAKER_01: who I expected to just be like jizzing all over himself, said, yeah, not feeling it.
2:56:22
SPEAKER_01: This is new Saxon.
2:56:26
SPEAKER_01: Saxon is back with an album and a song called God of Thunder.
2:56:31
SPEAKER_01: And we'll play some of that.
2:56:33
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:56:34
SPEAKER_01: Let's check in on that one.
2:57:21
SPEAKER_02: Through the mists of the Northern Bell where the mountains kiss the sky.
2:57:26
SPEAKER_02: Ride the guards with eyes of flame and storm fire in their cry.
2:57:31
SPEAKER_02: Clothing crowd and ground with steel against where eagles soar.
2:57:39
SPEAKER_02: The sky shall break, the hills shall reel, the thunder shakes the moor.
2:57:44
SPEAKER_02: They rise with power, they fall with steel.
2:57:51
SPEAKER_02: I'm
2:58:13
SPEAKER_01: not going to lie,
2:58:14
SPEAKER_01: I like this guy,
2:58:15
SPEAKER_01: you know, I,
2:58:16
SPEAKER_01: I, I, At first, when I first heard it, I was like, man, that's awful slow for them.
2:58:21
SPEAKER_01: Are they slowing down?
2:58:23
SPEAKER_01: But I like it.
2:58:24
SPEAKER_01: I like the way that they're using the riff to just power plod through it.
2:58:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, that's the word I was going to use.
2:58:32
SPEAKER_00: It's plodding along a little too slow for me.
2:58:36
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, I like it.
2:58:37
SPEAKER_01: I don't hate it.
2:58:40
SPEAKER_01: Is it the best?
2:58:41
SPEAKER_01: No.
2:58:43
SPEAKER_01: But again, another band.
2:58:44
SPEAKER_01: These guys should be retired.
2:58:47
SPEAKER_01: I mean, Biff Biford's got to be 90.
2:58:53
SPEAKER_01: Fucking Brian Tatler, how old is he?
2:58:58
SPEAKER_01: He's got to be 80 himself, doesn't he?
2:59:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:59:02
SPEAKER_01: He's the original guy from Diamond Head.
2:59:04
SPEAKER_01: That's back in the fucking mid-70s, right?
2:59:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:59:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, Saxon came up in the late 70s.
2:59:11
SPEAKER_01: Late 70s, yeah.
2:59:12
SPEAKER_01: These guys are all ancient.
2:59:14
SPEAKER_01: Retire.
2:59:17
SPEAKER_01: All right, I'll play a little more of this and then we'll move on.
2:59:20
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
2:59:21
SPEAKER_02: A thousand years and still they blaze.
2:59:24
SPEAKER_02: Hell to gods, the ancient ways.
2:59:29
SPEAKER_02: Forgotten now in modern days.
2:59:42
SPEAKER_02: No mortal souls.
2:59:47
SPEAKER_02: Make them kneel, Gods of Thunder.
2:59:48
SPEAKER_02: Ride the wind, like war-born flame, Gods of Thunder.
2:59:55
SPEAKER_02: Crack the heavens, spread the sky, Gods
3:00:07
SPEAKER_02: of Thunder.
3:00:09
SPEAKER_01: You know,
3:00:09
SPEAKER_01: they got one guy in the band that's like 25 years younger than all the other guys,
3:00:15
SPEAKER_01: and every time they hit him with the camera, it really stands out.
3:00:18
SPEAKER_01: It's almost like the roadie is playing bass or whatever.
3:00:23
SPEAKER_00: Well, Biff Biford is 75.
3:00:26
SPEAKER_01: Wow, he looks every bit of 136.
3:00:28
SPEAKER_00: And Saxon was established in 1976.
3:00:31
SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God.
3:00:32
SPEAKER_00: 50 years ago.
3:00:36
SPEAKER_00: 50 years ago.
3:00:36
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
3:00:40
SPEAKER_01: Well, Gods of Thunder is the new one.
3:00:43
SPEAKER_01: I think it'll be okay.
3:00:44
SPEAKER_00: That's not terrible.
3:00:46
SPEAKER_00: It's just slow.
3:00:47
SPEAKER_01: It's just slow.
3:00:49
SPEAKER_01: I don't hate it, but I'd still like to see him retire.
3:00:54
SPEAKER_01: I just would.
3:00:56
SPEAKER_00: So when Biff comes around on the old interview circuit and you're offered,
3:01:00
SPEAKER_00: I hope you ask him, don't you think it's time for you to retire?
3:01:03
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to ask him.
3:01:06
SPEAKER_00: Don't think I'm not going to ask these guys.
3:01:07
SPEAKER_00: You know I will.
3:01:08
SPEAKER_00: Well, let's find out what the thought behind not retiring is.
3:01:12
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
3:01:14
SPEAKER_01: I will ask it that way, too.
3:01:16
SPEAKER_01: I will literally say to them,
3:01:17
SPEAKER_01: I know you're not even thinking about retiring or whatever, but would you?
3:01:23
SPEAKER_01: Do you think there should be a cutoff where fans have to retire?
3:01:27
SPEAKER_00: If not, what keeps you going?
3:01:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:01:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:01:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't want to hear my passion and love for the game.
3:01:36
SPEAKER_01: Because that's the bullshit answer that he's going to give me.
3:01:39
SPEAKER_01: I still love doing it.
3:01:42
SPEAKER_01: I want a real, and I'll frame it the same way I did like the Journey question to Ross Valor.
3:01:47
SPEAKER_01: I'll be like, don't give me a bullshit answer.
3:01:49
SPEAKER_01: Give me a real answer.
3:01:51
SPEAKER_01: Why do you still do it?
3:01:53
SPEAKER_01: Doesn't matter that you're good, you're old.
3:01:56
SPEAKER_01: Isn't this a young man's game?
3:01:58
SPEAKER_01: I know when you were a young man,
3:01:59
SPEAKER_01: you were telling other bands to get the fuck out of the way because it was
3:02:02
SPEAKER_01: a young man's game.
3:02:04
SPEAKER_01: So why aren't you getting it?
3:02:05
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to ask them.
3:02:06
SPEAKER_01: I'm definitely going to ask them that.
3:02:08
SPEAKER_00: All right.
3:02:11
SPEAKER_01: All right.
3:02:11
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
3:02:13
SPEAKER_01: Let's get another one here.
3:02:15
SPEAKER_01: It's a band I do not get.
3:02:17
SPEAKER_01: I've never got.
3:02:18
SPEAKER_01: They've been better.
3:02:22
SPEAKER_01: In this second career of theirs, I hated them when they were popular.
3:02:26
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely hated them.
3:02:28
SPEAKER_01: That band is Europe.
3:02:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
3:02:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
3:02:31
SPEAKER_01: I like them better now than I hated the Final Countdown so bad.
3:02:36
SPEAKER_01: Hated that song.
3:02:37
SPEAKER_01: Hated that.
3:02:38
SPEAKER_01: What was the ballad?
3:02:41
SPEAKER_01: Carrie.
3:02:44
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:02:46
SPEAKER_01: They sucked.
3:02:48
SPEAKER_01: I hated them that first.
3:02:49
SPEAKER_01: And the Final Countdown, I think, is just a terrible, terrible song.
3:02:53
SPEAKER_01: Do you like that song?
3:02:54
SPEAKER_01: It's made them a bunch of money, though.
3:02:56
SPEAKER_01: It's not the question I asked.
3:02:57
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm not a fan.
3:02:59
SPEAKER_01: Mbop made a whole lot of money, too.
3:03:01
SPEAKER_01: That didn't make it a good song.
3:03:03
SPEAKER_00: No, I didn't say it was a good song, but it has made a shit ton of money.
3:03:09
SPEAKER_01: And it's everywhere.
3:03:11
SPEAKER_01: Dude, I was watching,
3:03:13
SPEAKER_01: and I know you know nothing about wrestling,
3:03:14
SPEAKER_01: but one of the most famous wrestlers is this guy,
3:03:18
SPEAKER_01: Bryan Danielson, or he was Daniel Bryan in WWE.
3:03:23
SPEAKER_01: He's one of the most famous guys,
3:03:25
SPEAKER_01: and they bought the rights to use the Final Countdown because when he was on
3:03:30
SPEAKER_01: the indie scene,
3:03:32
SPEAKER_01: he used to use that as his intro music,
3:03:34
SPEAKER_01: and AEW spent,
3:03:36
SPEAKER_01: for one of their pay-per-views, a million two to license it for one fucking day.
3:03:42
SPEAKER_01: Holy shit.
3:03:43
SPEAKER_01: A million two.
3:03:46
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine?
3:03:48
SPEAKER_01: I mean, I get it.
3:03:49
SPEAKER_01: That song is iconic.
3:03:51
SPEAKER_01: Goddamn, a million two.
3:03:55
SPEAKER_01: That's a lot of money for a fucking terrible song.
3:03:59
SPEAKER_01: Well, I have not even listened to this song because, again, it's Europe.
3:04:03
SPEAKER_01: But let's see what they're doing here.
3:04:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't even know what it's called.
3:04:09
SPEAKER_01: It is called...
3:04:10
SPEAKER_00: It's Return to Final Countdown.
3:04:14
SPEAKER_01: It's called Scandinavian Eyes.
3:04:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
3:04:18
SPEAKER_01: Let's see what this is about.
3:05:17
SPEAKER_01: Joey Tempest obviously goes to Mitch Malloy's dentist.
3:05:21
SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
3:05:23
SPEAKER_01: His teeth are as white as these backdrops here.
3:05:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
3:05:26
SPEAKER_01: Woo.
3:05:27
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of a disjointed song already.
3:05:30
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's kind of weird, but I like the riff.
3:05:35
SPEAKER_01: Sounds like Deep Purple when they were good.
3:05:38
SPEAKER_01: That's going to make Jim nuts.
3:06:03
SPEAKER_01: This might be a dumb, dumb question.
3:06:06
SPEAKER_01: But if you're paying the money to put yourself in a studio setting like this,
3:06:12
SPEAKER_01: why would you show all this bullshit with the cameras moving around and stuff?
3:06:17
SPEAKER_01: Why wouldn't you just show the band performing in front of this scenery?
3:06:23
SPEAKER_00: Well, because it's showing the fans how it's done.
3:06:27
SPEAKER_00: It's giving you a sneak peek behind the scenes as to how a music video is made.
3:06:36
SPEAKER_01: John Darlis is that Nickelback.
3:06:39
SPEAKER_01: Nickelback's new song rocks way harder than this.
3:06:43
SPEAKER_01: That song, whatever it's called, Rattle the Cage?
3:06:46
SPEAKER_01: Bucket song kicks ass.
3:06:48
SPEAKER_01: Tim James would probably love me for saying that.
3:06:50
SPEAKER_01: All right, here's a little more of Scandinavian Eyes from Europe.
3:06:56
SPEAKER_02: Those wheels hit the ground There's always a moment
3:07:29
SPEAKER_01: I've heard enough, how about you?
3:07:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not going there for me.
3:07:33
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't like it either.
3:07:35
SPEAKER_01: Too many tempo changes or something in it.
3:07:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
3:07:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's a disjointed sounding song.
3:07:41
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it sounds like they had a lot of ideas and they just kind of wedged them all in here.
3:07:46
SPEAKER_01: All right, well, whatever.
3:07:48
SPEAKER_01: And then let's see.
3:07:49
SPEAKER_01: I got one last one, I think.
3:07:52
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:07:55
SPEAKER_01: You may not even give a shit about this one.
3:07:57
SPEAKER_01: This is just one.
3:07:58
SPEAKER_01: I love this band and I have not listened to this song, so I don't know if it's good or bad.
3:08:03
SPEAKER_01: It's by the band Silvertomb.
3:08:05
SPEAKER_01: Which is a couple of guys from Type O and some guys I think from Agnostic Front,
3:08:12
SPEAKER_01: which are two bands that I love.
3:08:14
SPEAKER_01: This is very self-serving for me if you don't like it.
3:08:18
SPEAKER_01: There's a bag of dicks for you if you're hungry.
3:08:22
SPEAKER_01: So here we go.
3:08:23
SPEAKER_01: This is Silver Tomb with whatever this song is called.
3:08:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't even know.
3:08:51
SPEAKER_01: Alright, I'm done with that.
3:08:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't like what I'm hearing
3:08:57
SPEAKER_00: so far.
3:08:58
SPEAKER_01: Alright.
3:08:59
SPEAKER_00: How about pulling up the new Airborne track that was released today?
3:09:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, they released the whole album.
3:09:07
SPEAKER_01: Um...
3:09:09
SPEAKER_01: I actually was in a conversation with the publicist
3:09:11
SPEAKER_01: and he doesn't know why there's no interviews.
3:09:14
SPEAKER_01: The whole album is out and they're not doing any interviews.
3:09:18
SPEAKER_00: All right.
3:09:19
SPEAKER_01: Airborne.
3:09:21
SPEAKER_00: What are they promoting as far as like a new single or anything?
3:09:24
SPEAKER_00: Anything in particular?
3:09:25
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
3:09:25
SPEAKER_01: We're going to find out.
3:09:28
SPEAKER_01: One day ago, Kid in the Candy.
3:09:30
SPEAKER_01: So this is a good song.
3:09:32
SPEAKER_00: All right.
3:09:34
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
3:09:39
SPEAKER_01: This whole album's good, really.
3:09:43
All
3:09:54
right.
3:09:55
Oh, yeah.
3:09:56
SPEAKER_02: I got a number on the bathroom walls and the name was Candy Rose.
3:10:08
SPEAKER_02: Some courage just to make that car roll the doors, you never know.
3:10:13
SPEAKER_02: I got a chicken cab and sick and starting me as I was climbing the gates.
3:10:17
SPEAKER_02: She was looking down from the balcony, hanging down all over the place.
3:10:24
SPEAKER_02: She said, hey, sugar, have you been here before?
3:10:28
SPEAKER_02: It's time to come around.
3:10:32
SPEAKER_02: Here's the bad stuff.
3:10:34
SPEAKER_02: Get in the candy store.
3:10:51
SPEAKER_01: That's a good palate cleanser.
3:10:54
SPEAKER_00: That's fucking great.
3:10:56
SPEAKER_00: Best song of this grouping.
3:10:59
SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's a great song, man.
3:11:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
3:11:02
SPEAKER_01: It's a really good album if you like them.
3:11:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, it's ACDC.
3:11:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's Airborne.
3:11:09
SPEAKER_01: That's what they do.
3:11:10
SPEAKER_01: They sound like ACDC.
3:11:13
SPEAKER_01: This song could fit perfectly on Flick of the Switch.
3:11:16
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:11:17
SPEAKER_01: It'd be perfect.
3:11:19
SPEAKER_01: Let's play more of this just because it's good.
3:11:22
SPEAKER_02: When inside, my brain was fried from working switch and going along.
3:11:33
SPEAKER_02: I needed company, a little fantasy.
3:11:36
SPEAKER_02: The situation was clearly on.
3:11:40
SPEAKER_02: She had waving hair and moving in.
3:11:42
SPEAKER_02: And the body of a movie star.
3:11:45
SPEAKER_02: Takes the hell out of hands.
3:11:47
SPEAKER_02: Said, do you understand?
3:11:48
SPEAKER_02: It's a grind in your new guitar.
3:11:50
SPEAKER_02: I said, hey, sugar, be there before.
3:11:54
SPEAKER_02: But next time I come, I'll use the bathtub.
3:11:58
SPEAKER_02: Get in the candy store.
3:12:08
SPEAKER_01: See, Jim, this is the kind of video you can get when you don't use AI.
3:12:13
SPEAKER_01: When you green screen, this is the brilliance you get instead of AI.
3:12:16
SPEAKER_01: It's wonderful.
3:12:18
SPEAKER_01: The video sucks, but who cares?
3:12:19
SPEAKER_01: The song is fucking great.
3:12:22
SPEAKER_01: Do you think the video's any good or do you think it's terrible?
3:12:25
SPEAKER_00: I find it funny that they have miniature guys running all over the mixing board.
3:12:29
SPEAKER_00: I think that's kind of funny.
3:12:32
SPEAKER_01: Just shot video in the studio and just like, all right, we'll just use all this, whatever.
3:12:37
SPEAKER_00: And I like to see Rattlehead making an appearance on their video.
3:12:41
SPEAKER_00: Nice.
3:12:43
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
3:12:44
SPEAKER_01: A little more of this.
3:12:45
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
3:12:46
SPEAKER_02: Sweet 69 on the 7th floor.
3:13:17
SPEAKER_01: This is just total ACDC ripoff.
3:13:20
An empty wallet makes an empty heart.
3:13:22
There's a penny dropped to the floor.
3:13:25
SPEAKER_02: All the wages are in your dresser drawer.
3:13:27
SPEAKER_02: But I always come.
3:13:29
SPEAKER_02: Back for more.
3:13:30
SPEAKER_02: Get a game.
3:13:47
SPEAKER_02: We'll be right back.
3:14:24
Can
3:14:37
you
3:14:39
know what
3:14:46
SPEAKER_02: I'm saying?
3:14:54
SPEAKER_01: I would definitely go see this before I'd go see the actual ECDC.
3:14:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
3:15:00
SPEAKER_01: Not even a thought.
3:15:02
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
3:15:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that kicks ass.
3:15:04
SPEAKER_01: That was really, good.
3:15:06
SPEAKER_01: Lots of high energy there.
3:15:07
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's really, really good.
3:15:11
SPEAKER_01: I like that one a ton.
3:15:14
SPEAKER_01: Well, there we go.
3:15:15
SPEAKER_01: Next thing you know, we'll get a new Boned album.
3:15:21
SPEAKER_01: God, what happened to that band?
3:15:23
SPEAKER_01: We loved them, too.
3:15:24
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they just disappeared.
3:15:26
SPEAKER_01: Just went away.
3:15:27
SPEAKER_01: Kind of one and done.
3:15:29
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
3:15:30
SPEAKER_01: They just left us.
3:15:31
SPEAKER_01: All right, well, that's your new music block.
3:15:35
SPEAKER_01: All right.
3:15:36
SPEAKER_01: All right, let's wrap the show up with some Diamond Dave, man.
3:15:41

3:15:49
SPEAKER_00: So what's this crazy Jew up to this week?
3:15:52
SPEAKER_00: Well, now we're talking about chili dogs.
3:15:55
SPEAKER_00: All right.
3:15:56
SPEAKER_00: An $80 chili dog?
3:15:59
SPEAKER_00: I think it's $30,000.
3:16:01
SPEAKER_01: Oh, $30,000.
3:16:03
SPEAKER_01: I think it's an expensive one.
3:16:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't care what anybody says.
3:16:08
SPEAKER_01: I love, love, love this thing that David Lee Roth is doing.
3:16:13

SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, that's going to sting in the morning if I did it right.
3:17:17
SPEAKER_03: Diamond, Dave right here saying, what's the most expensive thing you ever had to eat?
3:17:21
SPEAKER_03: Don't go pointing at your third wife now because she used to be a supermodel
3:17:26
SPEAKER_03: and they don't eat shit.
3:17:27
SPEAKER_03: I used to date them.
3:17:28
SPEAKER_03: In fact, I learned how to eat from a supermodel.
3:17:31
SPEAKER_03: First, you gotta work.
3:17:32
SPEAKER_03: Kids, pay attention.
3:17:33
SPEAKER_03: This is a public service announcement.
3:17:35
SPEAKER_03: First, you gotta work on your eating disorder.
3:17:38
SPEAKER_03: You want your head to be about two sizes bigger than the rest of your body,
3:17:42
SPEAKER_03: so when they take the picture, yay!
3:17:45
SPEAKER_03: It all kinda evens up here.
3:17:47
SPEAKER_03: Now, you'll see a lot of models doing what they call the noodle dance.
3:17:51
SPEAKER_03: Back up just so they can see down here a little bit.
3:17:54
SPEAKER_03: And they kinda dance like this.
3:17:57
SPEAKER_03: That's not a stylistics thing.
3:17:59
SPEAKER_03: It's because all the strength is gone in their core.
3:18:02
SPEAKER_03: They got just enough, just enough energy to say, more, more, more.
3:18:09
SPEAKER_03: And it's expensive to go eat with them, but it has nothing to do with what's on the plate.
3:18:13
SPEAKER_03: It has to do with the doorway.
3:18:16
Ow!
3:18:20
SPEAKER_00: He just keeps cracking
3:18:22
SPEAKER_01: that whip
3:18:23
SPEAKER_01: for no fucking reason.
3:18:26
SPEAKER_01: Goddammit, these fucking clips are the best.
3:18:31
SPEAKER_01: As bad as he was on stage, this shit is fucking great.
3:18:36
SPEAKER_01: I love this.
3:18:37
SPEAKER_00: It's just so funny he's wearing the overalls and, you know.
3:18:41
SPEAKER_01: The big cowboy hat.
3:18:45
SPEAKER_00: Then, of course, got that big toothy grin.
3:18:48
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:18:49
SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's ridiculous.
3:18:51
SPEAKER_01: He is.
3:18:52
SPEAKER_01: But that's what makes this fucking spectacular.
3:18:56
SPEAKER_01: It's so ridiculous that you can't stop watching it.
3:19:00
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
3:19:01
SPEAKER_01: Here's more of the $30,000 chili dog part one.
3:19:06
SPEAKER_03: And that price is gonna sting in the morning.
3:19:08
SPEAKER_03: I'll be back with your drinks in $182.
3:19:10
SPEAKER_03: I went to places where the supermodels used to have something to eat,
3:19:16
SPEAKER_03: and I would eat what they ate.
3:19:18
SPEAKER_03: I remember one very fine place in New York City.
3:19:21
SPEAKER_03: Oh my God.
3:19:22
SPEAKER_03: They gave me a bucket, a feather, and three potato chips to barf them up.
3:19:33
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, what's the most expensive thing in Hollywood to eat?
3:19:38
SPEAKER_03: What'd you ever have, the porterhouse at the Palm?
3:19:41
SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's good, and it's well worth going to.
3:19:44
SPEAKER_03: What'd you go to,
3:19:44
SPEAKER_03: Peter Luger,
3:19:45
SPEAKER_03: and have the Peter Luger steak sauce,
3:19:47
SPEAKER_03: because I highly recommend it, and that'll cost you half your mortgage, too.
3:19:51
SPEAKER_03: You can go to Las Vegas to Nobu,
3:19:54
SPEAKER_03: Oh my God,
3:19:55
SPEAKER_03: my favorite Korean expression,
3:19:57
SPEAKER_03: it's a toast,
3:19:58
SPEAKER_03: is sign you and you say sign me,
3:20:01
SPEAKER_03: especially in Las Vegas,
3:20:02
SPEAKER_03: but the most expensive thing that you can have in Hollywood.
3:20:06
SPEAKER_03: It's not on the map.
3:20:07
SPEAKER_03: It's not on the menu.
3:20:09
SPEAKER_03: In fact, it's not at Muzo and Frank's Grill.
3:20:12
SPEAKER_03: It's at Pink's Hot Dogs.
3:20:14
SPEAKER_03: Colin, put up a picture of Pink's Hot Dogs.
3:20:16
SPEAKER_03: It's on the corner at Melrose and La Brea, and it's been there forever.
3:20:20
SPEAKER_03: I ate Pink's Hot Dogs for four and a half years when Van Halen was playing...
3:20:26
SPEAKER_03: Places with sawdust on the floor.
3:20:28
SPEAKER_03: A lot of you don't know what I'm talking about.
3:20:30
SPEAKER_03: The sawdust is to soak up the beer, okay?
3:20:34
SPEAKER_03: But in places we would play, they put sawdust in the ladies' room to soak up the barf, too.
3:20:40
SPEAKER_03: Oh, man!
3:20:42
SPEAKER_03: But it builds character, and that's who you're looking at.
3:20:44
SPEAKER_03: The character.
3:20:45
SPEAKER_03: They say kids are the future.
3:20:47
SPEAKER_03: Fuck the kids.
3:20:48
SPEAKER_03: I'm your future.
3:20:49
SPEAKER_03: Pay attention.
3:20:49
SPEAKER_03: This is a public service announcement.
3:21:00
SPEAKER_01: These can't get better.
3:21:03
SPEAKER_01: You gotta admit, this shit is fucking great.
3:21:05
SPEAKER_00: It is.
3:21:06
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he is borderline insane.
3:21:09
SPEAKER_01: He is.
3:21:12
SPEAKER_00: Hold on
3:21:14
SPEAKER_01: a minute.
3:21:15
SPEAKER_01: I don't even know why it does that.
3:21:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he's nuts.
3:21:19
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what he's doing.
3:21:22
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what happened.
3:21:23
SPEAKER_01: I mean, what do you think?
3:21:24
SPEAKER_01: Do you think it's just all the years of drinking and partying
3:21:26
SPEAKER_00: and I just think that's who he is.
3:21:32
SPEAKER_00: I think he's probably always been that way.
3:21:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're probably right on that.
3:21:39
SPEAKER_01: You think he's a no wonder nobody wanted to work with him, that type of a thing?
3:21:43
SPEAKER_00: I think so.
3:21:45
SPEAKER_01: Because he's an absolute kook.
3:21:48
SPEAKER_01: All right, let's get Diamond Dave Part 2 up here.
3:21:55
SPEAKER_01: Oh, this one's in color.
3:21:58
SPEAKER_01: All right, share this tab, put this on the screen, and here we go.
3:22:06
SPEAKER_01: All right, so here we go.
3:22:07
SPEAKER_01: Oh, this is a long one, 10 minutes.
3:22:09
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
3:22:10
SPEAKER_01: Diamond Dave, $30,000 hot dog, part two.
3:22:18
SPEAKER_01: No sound.
3:22:19
SPEAKER_01: Let's try again.
3:22:20
SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
3:22:23
SPEAKER_02: Oh, pull over!
3:22:25
SPEAKER_03: I'm hungry again.
3:22:27
SPEAKER_03: Ooh, those words were expensive.
3:22:30
SPEAKER_03: There's seven of us in the car.
3:22:31
SPEAKER_03: This is back in the day, okay?
3:22:33
SPEAKER_03: And I've got my Per Disco Japanese Hitachi Shoulder Motor Lap Bomb, right?
3:22:39
SPEAKER_03: I'm carrying around.
3:22:40
SPEAKER_03: I'm actually not carrying shit.
3:22:42
SPEAKER_03: That's why the bodyguard is here.
3:22:44
SPEAKER_03: And he carries the stereo.
3:22:46
SPEAKER_03: And this is one of those dual-port cassette spins with the repeat,
3:22:50
SPEAKER_03: and you've got the separable...
3:22:53
SPEAKER_03: Try pronouncing that three times after two shots of Patron.
3:22:57
SPEAKER_03: And I apologize if I'm a little bit distant or dizzy during this broadcast here.
3:23:03
SPEAKER_03: I had a little difficulty.
3:23:05
SPEAKER_03: It was early when I got up, went into the bathroom.
3:23:09
SPEAKER_03: I thought I was going to have two Advil and a little sip of water.
3:23:12
SPEAKER_03: And I accidentally took two Vicodin and three shots of Patron.
3:23:16
SPEAKER_03: So fuck y'all.
3:23:19
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I feel good.
3:23:20
SPEAKER_03: Don't change the channel because I'm on all the rest of them too.
3:23:28
SPEAKER_00: He fucking cracks me up.
3:23:31
SPEAKER_00: Don't change the channel because I'm on all the rest of them too.
3:23:38
SPEAKER_01: He is the best.
3:23:41
SPEAKER_01: These fucking videos are good.
3:23:43
SPEAKER_01: I hope he never gets on another stage again, but he shoots one of these every single day.
3:23:50
SPEAKER_01: I will watch this every time he puts one out.
3:23:53
SPEAKER_00: Every time.
3:23:54
SPEAKER_00: What do you think the impetus is?
3:23:56
SPEAKER_00: He tells this camera guy,
3:23:58
SPEAKER_00: okay, we're going to go out in the backyard here and I'm going to spin another yarn.
3:24:03
SPEAKER_01: I can't even imagine the conversation.
3:24:06
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine what the
3:24:07
SPEAKER_01: discussion is prior to doing this?
3:24:11
SPEAKER_01: I got a feeling that Dave surrounds himself by people that just know he's nuts
3:24:16
SPEAKER_01: and they don't even question.
3:24:18
SPEAKER_01: He's literally like, I'm going to go tell some stories out in the back.
3:24:21
SPEAKER_01: Where's my whip?
3:24:22
SPEAKER_01: And they just walk right with him.
3:24:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, let's go, Dave.
3:24:25
SPEAKER_01: That's going to be great.
3:24:27
SPEAKER_01: I'm sure there's no one in his life that says, dude, that's a terrible idea.
3:24:32
SPEAKER_01: You know, and what does he care?
3:24:36
SPEAKER_01: He sold all his rights to his music.
3:24:38
SPEAKER_01: He fucking banked.
3:24:40
SPEAKER_01: Four or five hundred million dollars, I'm assuming, for that.
3:24:44
SPEAKER_01: He don't need it.
3:24:45
SPEAKER_01: He don't need anything.
3:24:46
SPEAKER_01: He can go out and have fun.
3:24:47
SPEAKER_01: He's just having fun, I think.
3:24:50
SPEAKER_01: And like you said, he's also fucking batshit crazy.
3:24:55
SPEAKER_01: But I'm digging it.
3:24:58
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
3:25:01
SPEAKER_03: So where were we?
3:25:03
SPEAKER_03: I'll tell you where we were.
3:25:04
SPEAKER_03: We're headed from the Hollywood Athletic Club, which is up on Sunset Boulevard near Gower.
3:25:10
SPEAKER_03: And there's seven of us in the limousine.
3:25:13
SPEAKER_03: We are traveling now to Medford, Oregon.
3:25:16
SPEAKER_03: This is in the glorious, the fourth time we're flavor of the week in the mighty Van Halen.
3:25:21
SPEAKER_03: And who thinks of any kind of preparation?
3:25:23
SPEAKER_03: The idea of show up the day before.
3:25:26
SPEAKER_03: Oh, that might require planning.
3:25:29
SPEAKER_03: That's what's going to make my eyes water.
3:25:31
SPEAKER_03: Planning?
3:25:32
SPEAKER_03: That smells like homework.
3:25:33
SPEAKER_03: Forget about it.
3:25:34
SPEAKER_03: So there's seven of us in the limousine,
3:25:36
SPEAKER_03: and we're headed to the LAX airport,
3:25:39
SPEAKER_03: and we're going to do the rock and roll show in Medford,
3:25:42
SPEAKER_03: Oregon, later on that evening.
3:25:45
SPEAKER_03: And the words, pull over.
3:25:47
SPEAKER_03: I'm hungry.
3:25:48
SPEAKER_03: Now, I sound like a supermodel.
3:25:50
SPEAKER_03: Ah.
3:25:51
SPEAKER_03: Great, we're going to stop at the world famous Pink's Hot Dogs.
3:25:55
SPEAKER_03: I grew up on Pink's Hot Dogs.
3:25:56
SPEAKER_03: Got me through all the Van Halen Club years, the sawdust on the floor days.
3:26:01
SPEAKER_03: And they're 55 cents apiece.
3:26:03
SPEAKER_03: That's my recollective.
3:26:05
SPEAKER_03: We pull over.
3:26:07
SPEAKER_03: And somebody says, one of the secretaries, Dave, we might be late for the plane.
3:26:12
SPEAKER_03: And I utter the words, so fucking what?
3:26:16
SPEAKER_03: But I said it in Hebrew, nobody understood me.
3:26:18
SPEAKER_03: We all ordered up chili dogs.
3:26:20
SPEAKER_03: I had one that had mustard and onions,
3:26:22
SPEAKER_03: and I did not reconnoiter,
3:26:24
SPEAKER_03: don't expect me to spill that one after two shots of vodka,
3:26:30
SPEAKER_03: that the extra mustard and onions might just cost me that flight to Medford,
3:26:35
SPEAKER_03: wherever the fuck that is.
3:26:37
SPEAKER_03: And it did.
3:26:39
SPEAKER_03: We got to LAX just in time to watch the airplane take off
3:26:42
SPEAKER_03: into those wild blue yonder skies of the California Dreamin' Vista.
3:26:48
SPEAKER_03: Ah, shit.
3:26:50
SPEAKER_03: So we drive ourselves into Van Nuys and we rent ourselves a jet,
3:26:53
SPEAKER_03: which in those days was $30,000.
3:26:58
SPEAKER_03: In today's green, that's a little bit closer to $120,000 all in.
3:27:06
SPEAKER_03: A $30,000 chili dog.
3:27:09
SPEAKER_03: Woo!
3:27:10
SPEAKER_03: Ow!
3:27:10
SPEAKER_03: Talk to big daddy.
3:27:12
SPEAKER_03: All seven of us pile into a jet and it's a great one.
3:27:15
SPEAKER_03: It's big enough to walk with your heads up.
3:27:17
SPEAKER_03: You don't have to huddle or any of this shit.
3:27:19
SPEAKER_03: It ain't a helicopter.
3:27:20
SPEAKER_03: And we start driving.
3:27:22
SPEAKER_03: We take off and we get going up towards Medford.
3:27:25
SPEAKER_03: Now keep in mind, this is like how many years ago, okay?
3:27:30
SPEAKER_03: Rules and restrictions, they're a little bit different.
3:27:34
SPEAKER_03: They're a lot fucking different.
3:27:35
SPEAKER_03: And we get north of Bakersfield and one of the secretaries says to one of
3:27:40
SPEAKER_03: the pilots, can we do that weightless thing?
3:27:43
SPEAKER_03: You've all seen that weightless thing where they float around and it's
3:27:47
SPEAKER_03: a parabolic arc or something like that.
3:27:49
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what it is, but the plane arcs over like this and give it up right fucking now.
3:27:54
SPEAKER_03: The pilot says, yeah, we can do that in about four minutes.
3:27:57
SPEAKER_03: We're going to be out of radar contact.
3:27:59
SPEAKER_03: Nobody's going to even know we're up here.
3:28:01
SPEAKER_03: We love rock and roll and you guys are the flavor of the week.
3:28:05
SPEAKER_03: Boom.
3:28:05
SPEAKER_03: You got it.
3:28:07
SPEAKER_03: You might want to buckle in, which to us means we ain't buckling shit.
3:28:11
SPEAKER_03: So he enters into the ark and I did not know that somebody had said all of this.
3:28:17
SPEAKER_03: I'm the preamble, yo.
3:28:19
SPEAKER_03: So I had did a line of blow.
3:28:21
SPEAKER_03: This is not just cocaine,
3:28:23
SPEAKER_03: that horse shit, pasty crap from the Netflix series you kids are doing.
3:28:28
SPEAKER_03: That's for pussies, okay?
3:28:30
SPEAKER_03: We were a team back then.
3:28:32
SPEAKER_03: There's no hiring me and team, but there's you and pussy.
3:28:35
SPEAKER_03: You pussies don't know blow until you saw this.
3:28:37
SPEAKER_03: This did not come from south of the fucking border.
3:28:40
SPEAKER_03: You know I oblo.
3:28:41
SPEAKER_03: This came from a company in the United States.
3:28:45
SPEAKER_03: It has about the size of three of those great big British Guinness beers like a pint
3:28:50
SPEAKER_03: or some shit.
3:28:51
SPEAKER_03: And it's surgical pharmaceutical grade.
3:28:54
SPEAKER_03: Don't ask me to spell grade.
3:28:55
SPEAKER_03: Not now because I'm excited.
3:28:57
SPEAKER_03: Oh, shit.
3:28:58
SPEAKER_03: And I had laid out a line as long as my forearm.
3:29:02
SPEAKER_00: He's killing me with that whip.
3:29:05
SPEAKER_00: He just he just can't.
3:29:07
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't.
3:29:08
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't even take a breath.
3:29:10
SPEAKER_00: No, he's just going.
3:29:11
SPEAKER_01: That's why he's out of breath, because he doesn't take a breath.
3:29:14
SPEAKER_01: He just goes.
3:29:16
SPEAKER_01: He is the fucking Energizer Bunny.
3:29:19
SPEAKER_01: I get a feeling he might have had some of that pharmaceutical cocaine
3:29:22
SPEAKER_01: before this video was shot.
3:29:25
SPEAKER_01: Probably.
3:29:26
SPEAKER_01: He's going for it.
3:29:28
SPEAKER_01: But I don't care what anybody says.
3:29:29
SPEAKER_01: This is so fucking good.
3:29:32
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
3:29:33
SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
3:29:35
SPEAKER_03: Show that forearm right fucking there.
3:29:38
SPEAKER_03: Gotcha!
3:29:38
SPEAKER_03: Shit.
3:29:39
SPEAKER_03: And I laid out a line as thick as my thumb all the way down the armrest, just like this, okay?
3:29:47
SPEAKER_03: And as the plane entered into the gravity arc, I had forgotten about the line, okay?
3:29:52
SPEAKER_03: Because I was looking at one of the secretaries.
3:29:54
SPEAKER_03: We had a couple of girls with us.
3:29:56
SPEAKER_03: We had the Texans and so forth.
3:29:58
SPEAKER_03: And just as I felt my hat start to lift off my head, so did the line a blow.
3:30:05
SPEAKER_03: But it must have been kind of sticky or something because it stuck together.
3:30:09
SPEAKER_03: No shit, this is the Lord's truth.
3:30:11
SPEAKER_03: And the whole line came up off the armrest.
3:30:15
SPEAKER_03: Get this, Rohan.
3:30:16
SPEAKER_03: In slow motion.
3:30:18
SPEAKER_03: And it must have been a little moist because it stuck together.
3:30:21
SPEAKER_03: They're just long enough for all of us to be astonished.
3:30:26
SPEAKER_03: We've never seen shit like that ever in our entire lifetime.
3:30:29
SPEAKER_03: And then it got better.
3:30:32
SPEAKER_03: One of the girlfriends,
3:30:33
SPEAKER_03: I won't say her name,
3:30:34
SPEAKER_03: because she's watching this right now,
3:30:35
SPEAKER_03: I'm absolutely sure,
3:30:36
SPEAKER_03: and her second husband probably has no idea about her personal history.
3:30:40
SPEAKER_03: Floats over,
3:30:41
SPEAKER_03: no shit,
3:30:42
SPEAKER_03: like in the space shuttle thing,
3:30:44
SPEAKER_03: and calmly,
3:30:45
SPEAKER_03: without even a blink,
3:30:47
SPEAKER_03: takes that little tube she has around her neck,
3:30:49
SPEAKER_03: specifically for this purpose, floats over, And does an air toot.
3:30:59
SPEAKER_03: This was met with hysterical glue.
3:31:00
SPEAKER_03: Of course, I was next.
3:31:01
SPEAKER_03: We'd never see fucking air toots.
3:31:04
SPEAKER_03: We got all the way as far as the middle of the fourth air toot when
3:31:09
SPEAKER_03: the pilot finishes the parabolic arc.
3:31:13
SPEAKER_03: Oh no!
3:31:15
SPEAKER_03: And the thing explodes.
3:31:17
SPEAKER_03: And now there's dust all over the whole cabin and all over everybody.
3:31:22
SPEAKER_03: And we're trying to hang on because everything is selling.
3:31:24
SPEAKER_03: The ashtrays, everything.
3:31:27
SPEAKER_03: And the music is playing.
3:31:28
SPEAKER_03: It's on repeats.
3:31:28
SPEAKER_03: The same song over and fucking over and over and over again.
3:31:33
SPEAKER_03: And I'm going, quick, turn off the air conditioning.
3:31:36
SPEAKER_03: Turn off the pressure.
3:31:37
SPEAKER_03: Turn off the air.
3:31:39
SPEAKER_03: Oh, shit, I can't even crack my whip.
3:31:41
SPEAKER_03: Oh, everybody's hysterical.
3:31:43
SPEAKER_03: And we shut off the air.
3:31:44
SPEAKER_03: And I turned around and looked,
3:31:46
SPEAKER_03: and there was this fine,
3:31:48
SPEAKER_03: sparkling powdery dust over the tops of all the chairs,
3:31:52
SPEAKER_03: and everybody had it in their hair cut too,
3:31:54
SPEAKER_03: like a Bing Crosby white Christmas fucking thing.
3:31:56
SPEAKER_03: Except I'm Jewish, and I see it sparkling, and it didn't look like diamonds.
3:32:02
SPEAKER_03: It looked like the sidewalks of New York City down around 26th Street.
3:32:07
SPEAKER_03: That sparkle.
3:32:09
SPEAKER_03: And it smelled like pink bubblegum.
3:32:13
SPEAKER_03: Cut to this.
3:32:15
SPEAKER_03: Okay, we're gonna do some tricks in the airplane here.
3:32:19
SPEAKER_03: First, we're gonna do what's called the 200-yard putt.
3:32:23
SPEAKER_03: You hold the cup,
3:32:24
SPEAKER_03: I'll take the broom,
3:32:26
SPEAKER_03: I'll hit the ball,
3:32:27
SPEAKER_03: and by the time that ball goes slow and into your cup,
3:32:31
SPEAKER_03: we did about two fucking miles at 700 miles an hour.
3:32:34
SPEAKER_03: Oh, beat that, Tom Brady.
3:32:38
SPEAKER_03: He's fucking a supermodel, right?
3:32:40
SPEAKER_03: She ran off with a jujitsu player.
3:32:42
SPEAKER_03: If I was sufficient to put the gas, you know I do, baby.
3:32:46
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to arm lock you.
3:32:47
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
3:32:48
SPEAKER_03: Okay, just kidding, Tom.
3:32:51
SPEAKER_03: I thought she was public.
3:32:54
SPEAKER_03: Ow, okay.
3:32:55
SPEAKER_03: No more metaphysics or jujitsu before happy hour.
3:32:58
SPEAKER_03: This has been a public service announcement.
3:33:00
SPEAKER_03: Kids, when this is over, you're gonna miss this.
3:33:03
SPEAKER_03: Fuck y'all, I'm the future.
3:33:05
SPEAKER_03: And I just want y'all to realize that I don't give a fuck if you subscribe.
3:33:09
SPEAKER_03: Tell a friend, bring them back next week if you hated it.
3:33:12
SPEAKER_03: Tell an enemy, send them back too.
3:33:16
SPEAKER_03: Oh, by the way,
3:33:17
SPEAKER_03: the song that was playing over and over and over again,
3:33:22
SPEAKER_03: In that airplane,
3:33:23
SPEAKER_03: we must have listened to that son of a bitch 124 times,
3:33:28
SPEAKER_03: was the theme from Caddyshack.
3:33:33
SPEAKER_03: I'm all right.
3:33:35

3:34:07
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
3:34:10
SPEAKER_01: That is just hilarious.
3:34:13
SPEAKER_01: That is home run material.
3:34:16
SPEAKER_00: Just that standing there cracking that whip.
3:34:19
SPEAKER_01: It's so good.
3:34:28
SPEAKER_01: And the chat is, of course, Jim hates it.
3:34:30
SPEAKER_01: Why wouldn't he?
3:34:34
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
3:34:34
SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
3:34:36
SPEAKER_01: Jim, if you hate it,

3:34:40
SPEAKER_01: I will bring it next week.
3:34:41
SPEAKER_01: I will play these on the show every week he does it.
3:34:44
SPEAKER_01: He's just an insane goofball.
3:34:47
SPEAKER_01: He is.
3:34:49
SPEAKER_01: And that's what makes him hilarious.
3:34:52
SPEAKER_01: Now tell me, tell me honestly, you wouldn't go see that for $150?
3:34:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, you know, sure, why not?
3:35:05
SPEAKER_00: Again, I equate that to a Kevin Smith thing.
3:35:09
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:35:10
SPEAKER_00: You know, because I enjoyed the Kevin Smith, you know, listening to him tell his stories.
3:35:15
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
3:35:16
SPEAKER_01: I would pay for that every time it came through before I will ever go see him again.
3:35:22
SPEAKER_01: Singing, quote unquote singing.
