- 0:53SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 0:54SPEAKER_06: Actually, wasn't even bigger than that.
- 0:56SPEAKER_04: Then you said Cambodia.
- 0:57SPEAKER_04: I'm like, what?
- 0:58SPEAKER_04: What?
- 0:59SPEAKER_04: We're talking about a video that Doug did on the on the Facebook page to uh tell everybody that we weren't gonna have a podcast last week.
- 1:04SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05SPEAKER_04: Because I was away with my Cambodia.
- 1:07SPEAKER_04: We went everywhere, dude.
- 1:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you did.
- 1:10SPEAKER_04: It was uh it was crazy.
- 1:12SPEAKER_04: First of all, I should say that my wife is uh pressing t-shirts upstairs.
- 1:15SPEAKER_04: So if you hear an occasional it's her.
- 1:19SPEAKER_04: Um nothing to worry about.
- 1:21SPEAKER_04: Right, nothing to worry about.
- 1:22SPEAKER_04: Everything is fine.
- 1:24SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, we so we uh it was well, should I just start from the beginning?
- 1:29SPEAKER_04: Might as well, man.
- 1:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because I mean it's there's a lot.
- 1:32SPEAKER_04: Uh so we went to our family camp on a Thursday and the kids went swimming in the lake, which was great.
- 1:41SPEAKER_04: It was nice to cool off.
- 1:42SPEAKER_04: We got down there at a decent hour and then and then slept, but we got up at 4 a.m.
- 1:48SPEAKER_04: to get on the road and beat the traffic because we were heading heading um southwest, right?
- 1:55SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:56SPEAKER_04: Uh to see my daughter in Ohio.
- 1:58SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:58SPEAKER_04: Uh so we went to see Olivia and she showed us around her hometown and well, not hometown, her her town she calls home.
- 2:08SPEAKER_04: Her residency.
- 2:09SPEAKER_04: Her residency and uh showed us uh where she works and kind of somewhat of what she does.
- 2:15SPEAKER_04: It was the weekend, so I couldn't really do do uh a whole lot.
- 2:20SPEAKER_06: Um uh I will I will uh Which is funny because being working for a Catholic organization, Sunday should be your busy day.
- 2:27SPEAKER_06: Well, you know, we don't work on Sundays.
- 2:31SPEAKER_04: Not even the priests?
- 2:32SPEAKER_04: No.
- 2:33SPEAKER_03: Well, the priests do, yes.
- 2:36SPEAKER_04: But I mean, people like I you know, you know I'm making a joke.
- 2:41SPEAKER_04: But uh I'm I I am and my son, my oldest boy said something uh before we left, and I I thought it was kind of odd.
- 2:50SPEAKER_04: Uh and then I sent him a message after we left my daughter's place, and my daughter won't take offense to this because she kind of agrees with it to a certain extent.
- 2:59SPEAKER_04: Um Ohio sucks.
- 3:03SPEAKER_04: At least the part that we were in.
- 3:05SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 3:06SPEAKER_04: Um it's just it's just it seems like and and yeah, I don't think I'm offending my daughter by saying that because her house is really nice.
- 3:17SPEAKER_04: Um like the inside, she she she lives in a neighborhood.
- 3:20SPEAKER_04: She lives in I mean it's virtually the ghetto, but her house is really nice.
- 3:26SPEAKER_04: Um and it's like it's like someone built these houses in 1940 something during the war and then didn't do anything to them.
- 3:37SPEAKER_04: Sounds about right.
- 3:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 3:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 3:39SPEAKER_04: Um and but we had you know, we had a cookout on on Saturday in my daughter's backyard, and she had some work friends over, we got to meet them.
- 3:47SPEAKER_04: It was really sweet, and and she's doing great.
- 3:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she's in a good place, and and she's got great friends, and and like I said, her house is great, and she's she's just doing great.
- 3:56SPEAKER_04: Uh, I just don't like the area.
- 3:58SPEAKER_04: Uh um and maybe the rest of Cleveland or the rest of Ohio is okay, I don't know.
- 4:03SPEAKER_04: But my son, who had to drive through Ohio several times to get back and forth to his college that he was going to, he hates Ohio.
- 4:12SPEAKER_06: And well, I mean, honestly, the only two redeeming things about Ohio is the rock and roll hall of fame.
- 4:20SPEAKER_06: Which you yeah.
- 4:21SPEAKER_06: And it's kind of a joke.
- 4:22SPEAKER_06: And the football hall of fame.
- 4:24SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 4:24SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, that's right.
- 4:25SPEAKER_04: And the baseball hall of fame is also also No, that's in Cooperstown.
- 4:28SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's right.
- 4:29SPEAKER_04: That's Maryland.
- 4:29SPEAKER_04: What's in New York?
- 4:31SPEAKER_04: Where's the Football Hall of Fame?
- 4:32SPEAKER_04: Canton.
- 4:32SPEAKER_04: Canton, yes, that's what I'm thinking of.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: So Canton is the Football Hall of Fame.
- 4:35SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 4:35SPEAKER_06: So we only got that.
- 4:36SPEAKER_06: I mean, other than that.
- 4:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:39SPEAKER_06: I mean got the Cleveland Browns.
- 4:42SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 4:43SPEAKER_06: And now the the Cleveland, whatever.
- 4:46SPEAKER_06: They used to be the Indians.
- 4:47SPEAKER_06: I don't know what they are now.
- 4:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I know.
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:49SPEAKER_04: So anyway, so we spent uh the weekend with her and we had a lot of fun actually.
- 4:54SPEAKER_04: Um the Bengals.
- 4:55SPEAKER_04: Forget about the Bengals.
- 4:56SPEAKER_06: I always forget about the Bengals.
- 4:57SPEAKER_06: Oh.
- 4:58SPEAKER_06: Even though they went to the Super Bowl, but still forget about it.
- 5:01SPEAKER_04: I can't really say I can't really make a blanket statement about Ohio because uh Well, you're only seeing one part of it.
- 5:06SPEAKER_04: We're only seeing one part of it.
- 5:07SPEAKER_04: And it was and we actually were in in one part of that particular town.
- 5:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:12SPEAKER_04: So it was But anyway.
- 5:15SPEAKER_04: Um so we we left on a Monday from there and drove seven hours, seven, eight hours to my sister-in-law's in North Carolina.
- 5:24SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 5:25SPEAKER_04: And what was great about this trip was because we took three of our kids, and they'd never, besides going to Storyland in New Hampshire, they'd never been outside the state of Maine.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: So they're like, dude, take a picture.
- 5:39SPEAKER_04: Oh, what is that?
- 5:40SPEAKER_04: What is that?
- 5:40SPEAKER_04: Take a picture.
- 5:41SPEAKER_04: You know, is that a is that a a boat?
- 5:43SPEAKER_04: That's where they lift up the boats, you know.
- 5:44SPEAKER_04: I mean, it was really cool to see you know them get excited about sure little things and and you want to document it and stuff like that.
- 5:51SPEAKER_06: See that there's life outside of Rooster County.
- 5:53SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 5:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 5:54SPEAKER_04: And so we get to North Carolina, and my sister-in-law and my brother-in-law, they they've got a beautiful house.
- 6:00SPEAKER_04: Um, and we stayed there, and I think actually as soon as we got there, they went in the pool, and we went, let's see, I'm trying to think of what we did.
- 6:10SPEAKER_04: Of course, I only I didn't do as much as my family did because I had two online classes that I had to go to.
- 6:15SPEAKER_04: They were two hours apiece.
- 6:16SPEAKER_04: Still had to do your homework.
- 6:18SPEAKER_04: Yes, I did on Tuesday and Wednesday, yeah.
- 6:19SPEAKER_04: So I missed a bunch of stuff.
- 6:21SPEAKER_04: But anyway, they they went shopping and they went zip lining.
- 6:24SPEAKER_04: It's all documented on my Facebook page.
- 6:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it is.
- 6:28SPEAKER_04: Um yeah, they went zip lining and we went to uh I don't I don't even remember now.
- 6:35SPEAKER_04: Holy cow, this was just last week.
- 6:37SPEAKER_04: We did a lot of a lot of stuff.
- 6:39SPEAKER_06: That's the thing with vacation, it's not really a vacation because you're trying to jam so much stuff into it.
- 6:43SPEAKER_04: We did go hike, we went hiking in the by the waterfalls, several different waterfalls in the in this state park or whatever, uh, which was really cool.
- 6:52SPEAKER_04: Um and so we left Friday and we got back late last night.
- 6:59SPEAKER_04: No, I'm sorry, sat Saturday night.
- 7:00SPEAKER_04: Because today's Monday, right?
- 7:02SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 7:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:03SPEAKER_06: Um I was I saw you yesterday.
- 7:05SPEAKER_04: Yes, you did.
- 7:06SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna get to that in a second.
- 7:08SPEAKER_04: So so one of the things that we did so we went to or through um um Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, um Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, um, West Virginia, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina.
- 7:37SPEAKER_04: Why'd you go through South Carolina?
- 7:39SPEAKER_04: Maryland, I'll tell you in a second.
- 7:40SPEAKER_04: Maryland.
- 7:43SPEAKER_04: I think the only one we didn't know, and then we went to DC.
- 7:46SPEAKER_06: Oh, that's right, yeah.
- 7:47SPEAKER_04: Uh the only thing we didn't oh no, wait, I was gonna say, we didn't go to we didn't go to Rhode Island.
- 7:52SPEAKER_04: We went to Delaware because we had to go through kind of it was kind of connects.
- 7:56SPEAKER_04: Hey, we're in Delaware.
- 7:58SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 8:00SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 8:01SPEAKER_04: Anyway.
- 8:02SPEAKER_04: Um so we went my wife and I went to South Carolina because you know, I've been looking for a car since we had our moose accidents.
- 8:09SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 8:10SPEAKER_04: I've been looking for a car, and I'm gonna say this is the most difficult time to buy a car.
- 8:16SPEAKER_04: For a couple of reasons.
- 8:18SPEAKER_04: A, you can't get them.
- 8:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:20SPEAKER_04: Like new cars.
- 8:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:21SPEAKER_04: You can't get them.
- 8:22SPEAKER_04: We've never bought a new car.
- 8:23SPEAKER_04: But but here's the reason we're looking for a new car.
- 8:26SPEAKER_04: Because a used vehicle three years old, 50,000 miles on it, is maybe$2,000 less than a new vehicle.
- 8:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 8:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that's about right.
- 8:41SPEAKER_04: So it's like if that's the case, might as well buy a new vehicle.
- 8:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 8:45SPEAKER_04: So every time we go to say I I like this one, uh, is do you have this on the lot?
- 8:51SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we do.
- 8:52SPEAKER_04: Okay, great.
- 8:53SPEAKER_04: Uh, and then the next day, oh, we sold it.
- 8:56SPEAKER_04: Oh crap.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 8:57SPEAKER_04: Uh do we have oh, I like this one right here.
- 9:00SPEAKER_04: Well, that one's in transit.
- 9:01SPEAKER_04: That'll be here in about six months.
- 9:03SPEAKER_04: Okay, I kind of need a vehicle uh to get to work before, you know, like sooner rather than later.
- 9:09SPEAKER_04: So is do you have any on the lot?
- 9:11SPEAKER_04: None that you're looking for, basically, because we're we're looking for a certain type of vehicle.
- 9:14SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 9:15SPEAKER_04: And we kinda a couple different dealers and and whatnot, and every time.
- 9:19SPEAKER_04: So anyway, we found one in South Carolina.
- 9:23SPEAKER_04: It was only about 30 miles away from where my sister-in-law lives in North Carolina.
- 9:27SPEAKER_04: So we said, okay, you guys go to the my kids went to a um this arcade that was all pinball machines.
- 9:33SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, I saw that.
- 9:34SPEAKER_04: Um and so while they were doing that, we went to South Carolina, and we we as I'm drive, I'm probably about 15 minutes away from the dealership, I get a text from the salesman, and I can't read it, of course, because I'm driving.
- 9:51SPEAKER_04: But we get there and we walk in the in the lobby, and he says, I c I called you.
- 9:58SPEAKER_04: You did?
- 9:59SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I tried calling you.
- 10:01SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 10:01SPEAKER_04: Well, I didn't get a call.
- 10:03SPEAKER_04: I got a text.
- 10:04SPEAKER_04: He says, Well, it was sold.
- 10:07SPEAKER_04: Uh another sales guy, um, you know, he had a a couple looking at it, and and and they can't reserve them.
- 10:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah, they can't hold them.
- 10:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 10:16SPEAKER_04: So if somebody uh wants to buy it, they're gonna buy it.
- 10:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 10:19SPEAKER_04: So he sold it out from underneath.
- 10:20SPEAKER_04: That's not his fault.
- 10:21SPEAKER_04: No, you know, but as we're standing next to him, I get a voicemail from him.
- 10:26SPEAKER_06: So it just gone through.
- 10:27SPEAKER_06: Oh, hold on.
- 10:28SPEAKER_06: Let me I gotta take this.
- 10:30SPEAKER_04: Hey, it's you! So we have been trying since the accident to to find a vehicle.
- 10:38SPEAKER_04: Um, and it's it's been a pain in the neck.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: So anyway, one of our fans of the Star City Syndicate um posted on Facebook that they were selling a vehicle.
- 10:49SPEAKER_04: And this particular fan is w is well known as a uh mechanic, taught mechanics and at for 32 years up at the college.
- 11:00SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 11:01SPEAKER_04: And takes very good care of his vehicles.
- 11:04SPEAKER_04: This was a 2009 GMC Canyon.
- 11:08SPEAKER_04: It's only a two-wheel drive.
- 11:10SPEAKER_04: It's a very small pickup.
- 11:12SPEAKER_04: Um only 63,000 miles on it.
- 11:15SPEAKER_04: For 2009.
- 11:17SPEAKER_04: Right, yeah.
- 11:18SPEAKER_04: Uh$4,000.
- 11:19SPEAKER_06: Wow.
- 11:20SPEAKER_04: So our thinking was ease my mind so that we could, you know, because I I'll go back to school, I'll go back to work in two weeks.
- 11:29SPEAKER_04: Or next week, actually.
- 11:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 11:31SPEAKER_04: So we're not down to one vehicle.
- 11:33SPEAKER_04: I could use it to go back and forth to work while we look for another new vehicle.
- 11:39SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 11:39SPEAKER_04: And when I do find a new vehicle, that goes to my boy.
- 11:44SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 11:44SPEAKER_04: There you go.
- 11:45SPEAKER_04: I mean he'll pay for it, but uh, you know, because Oh, he's gonna pay for it.
- 11:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, he's gonna pay for it alright.
- 11:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we're gonna make him.
- 11:52SPEAKER_04: So it was kind of a no uh kind of a no-brainer, and um they were really happy that it went to us, you know, um, because we're we're uh we graduated with their son.
- 12:01SPEAKER_04: Um so that's with the the vehicle that you see out in the yard uh when you get here.
- 12:06SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:06SPEAKER_06: Well, I I I saw it yesterday.
- 12:08SPEAKER_06: That's right.
- 12:09SPEAKER_06: And because I was driving by and I w I look and uh what I saw was Eli.
- 12:15SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:15SPEAKER_06: Because he's 87 feet tall with red hair.
- 12:19SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 12:19SPEAKER_06: So he kind of stands out.
- 12:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:20SPEAKER_06: So I was like, I was coming down the hill by the college, and I go, geez, that looks like Eli.
- 12:26SPEAKER_06: I got closer and I could see Teresa.
- 12:28SPEAKER_06: Yeah, and then I saw you, and I'm like, they're buying that freaking truck, aren't they?
- 12:33SPEAKER_06: So I kept going.
- 12:34SPEAKER_06: I was gonna message you when I got to John and Jenna's, but I forgot.
- 12:37SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 12:38SPEAKER_06: So um yeah, I was like, they're gonna they're gonna buy that.
- 12:42SPEAKER_04: I would have gone to to the the barbecue, but I was just I was wiped.
- 12:46SPEAKER_06: No, yeah.
- 12:46SPEAKER_04: No, how did that go?
- 12:47SPEAKER_04: Very well.
- 12:47SPEAKER_06: That was good.
- 12:48SPEAKER_06: It was it was fun.
- 12:48SPEAKER_06: Good, a good time.
- 12:49SPEAKER_04: Good.
- 12:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 12:50SPEAKER_04: Um, I want to hear about ATLC.
- 12:52SPEAKER_06: Oh, it was great, man.
- 12:53SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 12:54SPEAKER_06: We had a great time.
- 12:55SPEAKER_04: So this is a rootic team leadership camp.
- 12:56SPEAKER_04: We've talked about it before.
- 12:58SPEAKER_04: It's uh it's a it's a uh a camp that encourages um self-esteem and drug-free life and so on and so forth.
- 13:07SPEAKER_04: Leadership and yeah, yeah.
- 13:08SPEAKER_06: And uh it was really fun.
- 13:10SPEAKER_06: We had twenty two come, not including the staff.
- 13:15SPEAKER_06: Most uh most of the staff was from last year because we our ranks got thinned out during COVID.
- 13:20SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 13:21SPEAKER_06: So we but we you know, most of most of the staff that we had last year came back, and then we had two new ones that were campers last year.
- 13:29SPEAKER_06: So, you know, kind of we're getting trying to get back and to uh having you know more staff.
- 13:37SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 13:37SPEAKER_06: But uh yeah, the I mean the weather was it was hot, but it wasn't too too bad.
- 13:42SPEAKER_06: We I mean we made it through because there isn't much air conditioning at the yeah at the college up in Fort Kent, which is an awesome place to have camp, by the way.
- 13:50SPEAKER_06: You've had it there for how many years now?
- 13:52SPEAKER_06: Since 2018.
- 13:55SPEAKER_06: Really?
- 13:56SPEAKER_06: That many years.

- 14:01SPEAKER_06: Uh but yeah, but they treat us really good and they you know the facilities are really nice.
- 14:05SPEAKER_06: And but they were doing some construction on one of the rooms that we had, so we had to kind of like you know go back and forth and do, you know, find other places, and it was but it was okay.
- 14:15SPEAKER_06: I mean they they're they they worked with us well and they take good care of us, and food food was pretty good.
- 14:20SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 14:20SPEAKER_06: But uh the staff did an awesome job and the kids were having fun.
- 14:24SPEAKER_06: But I saw the rise of a new religion.

- 18:16SPEAKER_06: I mean, we we need the we need staff, yeah, you know, to increase our numbers.
- 18:21SPEAKER_04: Because I would have to have so many staff per The only reason I say that is because I'm I've been there when there's been 75, 80 kids left.
- 18:28SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 18:29SPEAKER_04: You know, yeah, I remember those days.
- 18:30SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 18:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that was crazy.
- 18:31SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 18:32SPEAKER_06: It was like camp within a camp.
- 18:33SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 18:33SPEAKER_04: I was like, ooh, what's going on?
- 18:36SPEAKER_04: Uh and you were we were talking before we started um started the podcast about a movie that you saw.
- 18:42SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 18:43SPEAKER_04: Uh that you just discovered and you didn't know, and I I had no idea this movie was.
- 18:47SPEAKER_04: I had already seen it, and it was you said it was great, and it was great.
- 18:51SPEAKER_04: I thought it was and it is, I think, an odd take.
- 18:57SPEAKER_06: It's a little off-kilter.
- 18:58SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 18:58SPEAKER_06: But considering the subject matter, it made perfect sense.
- 19:01SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's true.
- 19:02SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 19:03SPEAKER_06: Uh the movie's called Love and Mercy.
- 19:05SPEAKER_06: It's with John Cusack and Paul Giamatti and Elizabeth Banks.
- 19:10SPEAKER_06: And I was like, why have I never heard of this movie?
- 19:12SPEAKER_06: And it's basically a a pick about Brian Wilson.
- 19:16SPEAKER_06: Uh, kind of goes back and forth between uh when he's doing when he starts when he stops touring with the Beach Boys and he goes in the studio and does pet sounds, right, and it intersperses with, you know, like 90s played by John Cusack.
- 19:32SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 19:33SPEAKER_06: When he's, you know, still under uh that psychiatrist.
- 19:36SPEAKER_04: He's got the got the piano with the s the sand in his in his house and all that.
- 19:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah, all that stuff.
- 19:41SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, he's he's got all these houses and he's kind of oddball, and he's kind of nobody believes him.
- 19:46SPEAKER_06: He's Brian Wilson, you know, and he's just got these takers that kind of like you know control his life.
- 19:50SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 19:51SPEAKER_06: Got him on so many drugs that he's all exactly.
- 19:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, so it was but it was a really great movie.
- 19:56SPEAKER_06: But that led me down the pet sounds rabbit hole.
- 20:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 20:00SPEAKER_06: So I had to l so I had to like listen to the album because I hadn't listened to it in a while.
- 20:05SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 20:05SPEAKER_06: And I was like, whoa.
- 20:06SPEAKER_06: You know, once once you once you see the background of it, you're like, whoa, that is an amazing album.
- 20:12SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 20:13SPEAKER_06: You know, because I was a big fan of the Beach Boys, you know, you know Surfing Safari and Surfing Girl, you know, the surf the surfing surfing cars songs.
- 20:23SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 20:23SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 20:24SPEAKER_06: But when you get to pet sounds, it's completely different.
- 20:27SPEAKER_04: And I think, and I gave you a uh DVD of a documentary that I have called Endless Summer, and if it's the same one, because I've seen several documentaries and and actually movies about the Beach Boys, because I love the Beach Boys, uh I can't remember if that's the one or not, but they dive deep into pet sounds and how and and the recording process.
- 20:46SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 20:46SPEAKER_06: Well it was all the wrecking crew, wasn't it?
- 20:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, Hal Blaine and all those guys.
- 20:50SPEAKER_04: Um but I think they go like if it's the same, if it's the same documentary, because I've like I said, I've seen a few.
- 20:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah, um, it's pretty cool to watch.
- 20:59SPEAKER_04: So I'll enjoy that because I was pretty excited about it, you know.
- 21:03SPEAKER_06: And then I didn't know I did I learned this because he was part mostly deaf in his right ear.
- 21:09SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 21:10SPEAKER_06: And that's why he talked out the side of his mouth.
- 21:12SPEAKER_06: I thought it was a stroke drug thing.
- 21:14SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 21:15SPEAKER_06: No, it it was he was doing that before the whole drug thing.
- 21:19SPEAKER_06: When he was a kid, basically, yeah.
- 21:20SPEAKER_06: Yeah, you know, he said his dad, I think his dad was a jackass.
- 21:25SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 21:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he's portrayed very much so like that movie.
- 21:29SPEAKER_06: But uh yeah, I didn't know that.
- 21:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 21:31SPEAKER_06: I was like, whoa, that makes me that's kind of yeah, crazy.
- 21:34SPEAKER_04: Well, the drugs didn't help.
- 21:35SPEAKER_06: No, no, no.
- 21:36SPEAKER_06: I mean, yeah, the drugs and the drinking, you know, that definitely didn't help anything, but uh but I it was an excellent movie and uh you know got me on the pet sounds, you know, right thing, and that was fun.
- 21:48SPEAKER_06: Um I have a really new appreciation for that album now.
- 21:53SPEAKER_06: I'm like, what because they were talking about they were inspired by rubber soul, yep, and then they came out with pet sounds.
- 22:00SPEAKER_06: And John and Paul were just like, oh, this is freaking amazing.
- 22:02SPEAKER_06: And then they did Sergeant Pepper.
- 22:03SPEAKER_06: And then they did Sergeant Pepper.
- 22:04SPEAKER_06: And it's like, ah, okay, you guys did this.
- 22:07SPEAKER_06: We're gonna do this.
- 22:08SPEAKER_04: Can you imagine being around at that time when those albums came out?
- 22:11SPEAKER_04: My work.
- 22:12SPEAKER_04: Crazy, man.
- 22:14SPEAKER_04: When it was all new, you know, like you you you hadn't heard that stuff before.
- 22:20SPEAKER_06: It was completely out of the world.
- 22:23SPEAKER_06: You know, because everybody was used to the Beatles doing, you know, Shala, yeah, you know, doing that, and the Beach Boys were doing, you know, Surfer Girls and stuff like that.
- 22:31SPEAKER_06: Then they come out with these friggin' amazing albums and nothing like they'd done before, and everybody's like, whoa.
- 22:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 22:38SPEAKER_06: That must have been a huge mind screw.
- 22:41SPEAKER_04: Well, that's what I'm talking about, because you're used to you're used to um you know the the music of the forties and fifties and the sixties come along and the Beatles and everything, and you get you get kind of um content with what's going on because there's a lot of copycats of the Beatles.
- 22:57SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 22:57SPEAKER_04: You know, and and they the And the Beach Boys.
- 22:59SPEAKER_04: And the and the Beach Boys.
- 23:00SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:01SPEAKER_04: And then they take it that both Beach Boys and the Beatles took it like a big thing.
- 23:05SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, they took it a whole they put it in the stratosphere and just like changed music forever.
- 23:11SPEAKER_04: Speaking of uh speaking of changing uh um um kind of um what am I what's um what's the phrase I'm looking for?
- 23:20SPEAKER_04: Speaking of like um blazing a new trail, um just kind of a legend.
- 23:27SPEAKER_04: We lost somebody while we were while uh we were on vacation.
- 23:30SPEAKER_00: Everyone I know has a big butt.

- 23:41SPEAKER_06: I didn't well I think he kept it to himself.
- 23:43SPEAKER_06: Well he must have like a Neil Peart kind of thing.
- 23:45SPEAKER_06: I mean when Neil Peart died, everybody's like, what?
- 23:48SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 23:48SPEAKER_06: He had brain cancer?

- 28:30SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
- 28:31SPEAKER_04: So in this episode, um he talks about, and I think I knew this in the somewhere, I I I'd heard this somewhere, but he let's see, I'm trying to think of the timeline.
- 28:49SPEAKER_04: He they were getting some success with their second album, because the first album was was successful, right?
- 28:55SPEAKER_04: But then the second album in The Heart of the Young was was getting more success.

- 29:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 29:06SPEAKER_04: And which was a sad part of the of the episode, but also he said that everything just st uh the stopped.
- 29:16SPEAKER_04: And like because he was listen he had been listening to the black album Metallica, yeah, and he wanted his bandmates to hear it because they loved or the the Rod Morgenstein, the drummer, because he loved the drum sound.
- 29:28SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 29:29SPEAKER_04: Lars's drum sound.
- 29:30SPEAKER_04: And if you remember in the video for Andrew Sandman, they're throwing darts at Kip Kip Winger's picture.
- 29:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 29:39SPEAKER_04: And it wasn't sh wasn't long after that Beavis and Butthead came out and were wearing a winger shirt because they were, you know, making fun of them basically.

- 29:56SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 29:57SPEAKER_06: Well, it didn't help that grunge came out not long after that.
- 30:01SPEAKER_04: Right, but there was uh I think it was oh, one of them was was Scott Ian, I think was in the video in the in the documentary, and I and No, it wasn't Scott Ian.
- 30:09SPEAKER_04: It was uh Ricky Rackman who said that people say that grunge killed hair metal.
- 30:18SPEAKER_04: Grunge did not cure kill hair hair metal.
- 30:21SPEAKER_04: I tend to disagree, but he said, Did you know that Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, and I can't remember what the maybe SoundGarden, I don't remember what was maybe Pearl Jam.
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: Pearl Jam.
- 30:33SPEAKER_04: Pearl Jam music.

- 30:56SPEAKER_04: Because all of these hairband Darn you, Garth Brooks!
- 30:59SPEAKER_07: All of these hairband people went country.
- 31:03SPEAKER_06: That's what happened.
- 31:04SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 31:04SPEAKER_04: But um the reason I bring this up is because A, it was it was a cool documentary to watch.
- 31:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:09SPEAKER_04: Um but the Ultimate Classic Rock has this, and I I think it's probably because of that documentary that they covered this.
- 31:17SPEAKER_04: Kip Winger says he and Metallica are all good now.
- 31:21SPEAKER_04: Um decades after that that video for it wasn't it wasn't Sam, it was nothing else matters, I think it was.
- 31:26SPEAKER_06: Well, I mean, it's in the if you watch the documentary, the Year and a Half in a Life Mount of Metallica.
- 31:32SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 31:32SPEAKER_06: There's a big long shot.
- 31:34SPEAKER_06: It's it's literally them talking, but you know, just they don't say anything, but you can see them throwing darts at this picture of Kip Winger, and they're not, you know, they're kind of gleeful about it.
- 31:43SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 31:43SPEAKER_04: You know, so uh he says that um uh Kip Winger says, I'm not gonna lie to you, I was a total ham.
- 31:51SPEAKER_04: Uh all the pictures and all that teen idol stuff, perhaps that made what's what made him a prime target.
- 31:56SPEAKER_04: Um and I told you about the f the the fact that he was playing his the album to Rod Morgenstein because he loved the drum sound.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: He thought that was ironic.
- 32:05SPEAKER_04: Um and let's see, the Beavis and Butthead jokes were connected.
- 32:09SPEAKER_04: Apparently they tried a few different names on the Stuart t-shirt, and mine was the one that stuck.
- 32:13SPEAKER_04: It could have been poison, I don't know.
- 32:15SPEAKER_04: I could have been anybody, or it could have been everybody, but mine stuck, and I think it's because Metallica threw darts at my poster.
- 32:21SPEAKER_04: I think the two go hand in hand.
- 32:23SPEAKER_04: It's just not cool to dish diss musicians, even with the most popular musicians who pe people might hate.
- 32:29SPEAKER_04: A lot goes into it, man.
- 32:30SPEAKER_04: It's a person's whole life devoted to what they believe in.
- 32:33SPEAKER_04: So I don't believe in slagging off fellow musicians.
- 32:36SPEAKER_04: That's basically it.
- 32:37SPEAKER_04: And he said uh of course after that he became a number one classical composer.
- 32:45SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 32:46SPEAKER_04: You know, which was a lifelong dream of his as well.
- 32:48SPEAKER_04: But yeah, I but he wasn't hurting.
- 32:50SPEAKER_04: I don't think he was hurting.
- 32:52SPEAKER_04: I mean, uh it took a while for his career to recover.
- 32:55SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, yeah, but I mean he at least he had he has talent to back, you know, yeah go back on.
- 32:59SPEAKER_04: True.
- 33:00SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
- 33:00SPEAKER_04: Uh he says uh Hetfield called him to apologize about a year and a half ago.
- 33:04SPEAKER_04: Uh he was really contrite and was like, you know what?
- 33:07SPEAKER_04: That was uncool, and I'm sorry we did that.
- 33:10SPEAKER_04: He said it was a very nice conversation.
- 33:11SPEAKER_04: It seemed that the guy was completely awesome and I totally could be friends with him.
- 33:14SPEAKER_04: But you know, it was really Lars who threw the dart.
- 33:20SPEAKER_04: He's never gotten an apology from Lars.
- 33:22SPEAKER_06: Well, he's not going to.
- 33:24SPEAKER_06: That's just Lars.
- 33:25SPEAKER_04: That's the only reason I bring that up because I thought, you know, since I watched that episode, and I actually uh I follow Kipwinger on Instagram, and I don't know, he probably doesn't do his Instagram, maybe as somebody doing it for him.
- 33:36SPEAKER_04: But I sent a message and I told him, I said, I'm I watched this and it broke my heart.
- 33:40SPEAKER_04: And I said, uh, I'm so glad you didn't stop.
- 33:43SPEAKER_04: Seven is easily the best album of 2023, yeah, in my opinion.
- 33:47SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 33:47SPEAKER_04: Uh rock on, that type of thing.
- 33:50SPEAKER_04: Um so I thought that was kind of cool.
- 33:53SPEAKER_04: And the other thing, before I we get to, I want to talk about the mammoth album.
- 33:57SPEAKER_04: But did you see this?
- 33:59SPEAKER_04: Um it it was posted 50 minutes ago, so you probably haven't seen it.
- 34:03SPEAKER_04: I did not know this.
- 34:05SPEAKER_04: On this day, 41 years ago, Metallica opened for Rock's regime.
- 34:13SPEAKER_06: Which is striper.
- 34:14SPEAKER_06: Which is striper.
- 34:17SPEAKER_04: They were a trio.
- 34:18SPEAKER_04: Dave Mustaine was still in Metallica, and he was playing uh uh Michael Sweet.
- 34:23SPEAKER_04: Probably Ron Ron McGovern was uh Michael Sweet was playing Gibson Gibson Flying V that he purchased from Stephen Pearcy of Rat.
- 34:32SPEAKER_04: So funny.
- 34:32SPEAKER_04: And if you look at their pictures, uh yeah, well that's not Cliff Burton.
- 34:38SPEAKER_04: It's probably Ron McGovern.
- 34:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 34:41SPEAKER_04: Yep, and and Dave Mustaine, Dave and Lars, and James Hetfield.
- 34:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
- 34:46SPEAKER_04: And then the but the picture of the picture of Striper.
- 34:51SPEAKER_04: Um is that um the bass player?
- 34:58SPEAKER_04: That's the guy that was in it from the beginning, right?
- 35:01SPEAKER_04: Uh what was his name?
- 35:02SPEAKER_04: James not James.
- 35:05SPEAKER_06: I have no idea who that is, man.
- 35:07SPEAKER_06: I think it's that mustache is terrible.
- 35:09SPEAKER_04: I know, that's what I'm saying.
- 35:10SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 35:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 35:13SPEAKER_04: And I've always thought, and I I love him to death.
- 35:15SPEAKER_04: Well, I forgot they were a trio when they were Rox regime.
- 35:18SPEAKER_04: Uh Robert Sweet has always looked like a chick to me.
- 35:21SPEAKER_06: Yeah, he's always he's got feminine features.
- 35:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he does.
- 35:24SPEAKER_04: He's always looked like a chick.
- 35:26SPEAKER_04: Not not now.
- 35:26SPEAKER_04: I mean, he's got the beard now.
- 35:28SPEAKER_04: Right, right, right.
- 35:28SPEAKER_04: But um, yeah.
- 35:31SPEAKER_04: I just thought I saw that before we started the podcast, and I thought, wow, that's just amazing.
- 35:36SPEAKER_06: That's that's really funny.
- 35:41SPEAKER_04: All right.
- 35:42SPEAKER_04: So before we because uh, you know, let's see.
- 35:46SPEAKER_04: I want to talk this new album.

- 42:29SPEAKER_04: Wolfgang.
- 42:32SPEAKER_04: Again, he plays all everything, all the instruments, wrote all the songs, except for there's one um no, we wrote all the songs.
- 42:58SPEAKER_06: This is a true solo album.
- 43:00SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, just like it's just it's yeah, it's just him man.
- 43:03SPEAKER_06: He's doing it all.
- 43:05SPEAKER_06: Singing on the background vocals, yeah, and it's it is as good, if not better, than the first one.
- 43:11SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 43:13SPEAKER_04: And it's a little different.
- 43:14SPEAKER_04: I mean it's it's its name, but different.
- 43:16SPEAKER_06: It's proggy.
- 43:17SPEAKER_06: Yeah, because every song is in like 87 different time signatures.
- 43:22SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 43:22SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 43:23SPEAKER_04: Uh we've already heard, let's see, we already heard like a pastime.
- 43:27SPEAKER_06: Well, we already heard uh another celebration with the end of the world.
- 43:30SPEAKER_06: And take a bow.
- 43:31SPEAKER_06: We heard the I don't think we've heard that one.
- 43:32SPEAKER_04: Take a bow is the one with the Eddie Van Halen guitar solo.
- 43:35SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 43:36SPEAKER_04: Right?
- 43:36SPEAKER_04: But I don't think we heard that.
- 43:37SPEAKER_04: Okay, well, let's play that.
- 43:39SPEAKER_06: So he used I thought it when I first saw the the title, I was like, he did not do Mr.
- 43:46SPEAKER_06: Hazel song.
- 43:46SPEAKER_06: Oh, Sister Hazel.
- 43:47SPEAKER_06: That's right.
- 43:47SPEAKER_04: Madonna has one too, called.
- 43:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, did she?
- 43:49SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
- 43:50SPEAKER_04: Um so I think it's this this song that he used Eddie's rig, his his amp, uh, for like his amp.
- 44:00SPEAKER_04: Amp and Frankenstein guitar.
- 44:03SPEAKER_04: To do the solo.
- 44:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I think.
- 44:04SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 44:05SPEAKER_04: I think it's this one, right?
- 44:07SPEAKER_06: I I can't remember, man.
- 44:09SPEAKER_04: You can hear the tone.
- 44:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 44:11SPEAKER_06: It's um obviously it's not Eddie because it's not that yeah, it's not that brown sound that Eddie had, but it's it's different.
- 44:17SPEAKER_04: I'm just gonna forward to the song.
- 44:24SPEAKER_04: Super freaking talented to be away.
- 44:26SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 44:28SPEAKER_06: One thing I said before, uh we were talking about it a couple weeks ago, and I said he's he's gone so far past his dad, it's not even funny.
- 44:36SPEAKER_06: You know?
- 44:36SPEAKER_06: As far as as far as this stuff.
- 44:40SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 44:40SPEAKER_06: Because Eddie never would have done a whole solo album by himself.
- 44:43SPEAKER_06: True.
- 44:43SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
- 44:51SPEAKER_04: I think it's this song.
- 44:52SPEAKER_04: I want to I'm trying to get to the guitar solo.
- 44:58SPEAKER_04: Yes, it is.
- 44:59SPEAKER_04: It is.
- 45:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 45:02SPEAKER_04: So this is with this is with Eddie's.
- 45:04SPEAKER_06: First time I heard this, I was like, is the song over?
- 45:06SPEAKER_06: Because it was a really long pause and it was like dead stop.
- 45:31SPEAKER_04: Dude plays amazing drums, plays amazing guitar.
- 45:33SPEAKER_07: I know.
- 45:34SPEAKER_06: He just he does it all, man, and he's a great singer.
- 45:37SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 45:37SPEAKER_06: I mean freaking hey, dude.
- 45:42SPEAKER_04: I did read something.
- 45:44SPEAKER_06: Um I want to see where it was.
- 45:49SPEAKER_06: Actually, he's gonna be on tour with Nita Strauss.
- 45:52SPEAKER_06: I think later this year or next year.
- 45:54SPEAKER_06: Isn't he on tour with Metallica right now?
- 45:56SPEAKER_06: What's that?
- 45:57SPEAKER_04: He's on tour with Metallica right now.
- 45:59SPEAKER_04: Is he?
- 45:59SPEAKER_04: I think so.
- 46:00SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 46:00SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 46:02SPEAKER_04: Um, this uh headline from UltimateClassicrock.com, Wolfgang Van Halen says Van Halen doesn't exist anymore.
- 46:10SPEAKER_04: He's not wrong.
- 46:11SPEAKER_04: Um he re he emphatically rejected the idea of a Van Halen reunion, declaring that the beloved group doesn't exist anymore.
- 46:19SPEAKER_04: Uh let's see.
- 46:21SPEAKER_04: It's out of love, and how many people in my father's writing and playing touched around the world?
- 46:26SPEAKER_04: But life isn't written to have a happy ending.
- 46:28SPEAKER_04: Some things just suck.
- 46:29SPEAKER_04: And if I have to figure out how to have a life without my father in it, I think people can figure out how to live without Van Halen because it can't happen.
- 46:36SPEAKER_04: Dad's not here.
- 46:37SPEAKER_04: Van Halen doesn't exist anymore, as far as I'm concerned.
- 46:40SPEAKER_04: The music and the legacy are there, and I'll be here to push that forth through things like Dad's guitar and amp company and help in every single way.
- 46:48SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 46:49SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:49SPEAKER_04: I mean I have no problem with it.
- 46:51SPEAKER_04: It's it is unfortunate that there was no tribute.
- 46:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 46:56SPEAKER_04: Um, but time has gone by now, and it's it's kind of I mean, it's not saying that it won't happen.
- 47:04SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 47:04SPEAKER_06: Maybe maybe in another five, six years, maybe there'll be something, you know, maybe, you know.
- 47:10SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 47:10SPEAKER_06: You don't know.
- 47:11SPEAKER_06: I mean, we don't know.
- 47:12SPEAKER_04: We don't know.
- 47:13SPEAKER_04: But I agree with him.
- 47:15SPEAKER_04: It's time to move on.
- 47:16SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 47:16SPEAKER_06: I mean, Van Halen is, you know, is a big part of, you know, rock history.
- 47:21SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 47:22SPEAKER_06: You know.
- 47:23SPEAKER_06: Um if you if you miss them, just what's that mean?

- 47:53SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 48:04SPEAKER_04: I mean, he's not doing anything groundbreaking, but it it's awesome.
- 48:13SPEAKER_04: And it's so good.
- 48:15SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 48:16SPEAKER_04: I mean, if this is I don't really have the right words.

- 48:38SPEAKER_06: Nobody's done this since Prince.
- 48:40SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 48:41SPEAKER_06: You know what I'm saying?
- 48:42SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 48:42SPEAKER_06: Or Lenny Kravitz.
- 48:44SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 48:44SPEAKER_06: Who plays all the instruments and writes?
- 48:46SPEAKER_06: You know, that's that's a rarity now.
- 48:48SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 48:48SPEAKER_06: You know, because everybody's now, you know, they sample it or download it onto their, you know, from their Mac.
- 48:54SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 48:55SPEAKER_06: You know, into Pro Tools.
- 48:56SPEAKER_04: Oh, speaking of that, I was we were listening to Satellite Radio while we're driving.
- 49:00SPEAKER_04: I did a lot of driving.
- 49:02SPEAKER_06: Um, it's a long way to Cambodians.
- 49:08SPEAKER_04: There was another there was another song that was basically ripped off.
- 49:12SPEAKER_04: Dang it, and I'm I'm not gonna be able to remember it.
- 49:16SPEAKER_04: Um I was it was a newer band.
- 49:19SPEAKER_04: Oh no, it was uh it was a country song.
- 49:23SPEAKER_04: Uh sugar.
- 49:24SPEAKER_04: It really ticked me off.
- 49:26SPEAKER_04: It really bothered me, and my wife couldn't understand why it bothered me.
- 49:29SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 49:29SPEAKER_04: But it really did.
- 49:30SPEAKER_04: Um, it was uh Do you remember how um do you remember how Jake Owen used the John Mellencamp song uh Jack and Diane?
- 49:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 49:40SPEAKER_04: Uh it was one of those types of things.
- 49:43SPEAKER_04: Um like a sampling?
- 49:46SPEAKER_04: It was like write your own stupid song.
- 49:48SPEAKER_04: Well, they don't do that anymore.
- 49:49SPEAKER_04: Um remember that um what was his name?
- 49:53SPEAKER_04: Uh Steve Azure Um no uh Steve Azure.
- 49:58SPEAKER_04: See, this is where Show Prep comes in handy.
- 50:01SPEAKER_04: Um the the country singer that uh my daughter went to see but out of you know she didn't do it on purpose.
- 50:11SPEAKER_04: She she ended up there and she didn't like it anyway.
- 50:14SPEAKER_04: It was uh just recently, right?
- 50:18SPEAKER_04: Yeah, relatively recently, past few years.
- 50:23SPEAKER_04: Um and Joko talks about him all the time.
- 50:27SPEAKER_06: Joko talks about him all the time.
- 50:28SPEAKER_04: That's true.
- 50:34SPEAKER_04: But he did a uh a Jody Messina.
- 50:48SPEAKER_04: Okay, so do you know the song Heads Carolina Tales California by Jody Messina?
- 50:53SPEAKER_04: Okay, I don't wanna do this.
- 50:56SPEAKER_04: I'm getting off topic here, but we'll never get off topic.
- 51:00SPEAKER_06: Hopefully because we don't have a topic.
- 51:03SPEAKER_04: Hopefully, I'll this will jar the my memory and I'll uh I'll remember the one that I heard.
- 51:10SPEAKER_04: Because it was it was blatant.
- 51:12SPEAKER_04: I mean it was it was like they just wrote new words to an existing song.
- 51:16SPEAKER_04: It was such a joke.
- 51:17SPEAKER_04: So this is the original from the 90s.
- 51:19SPEAKER_04: It's Jody Messina, uh, Hits Carolina.
- 51:23SPEAKER_04: And again, this is old news.
- 51:26SPEAKER_04: And and I'm not saying the song that came from this was a bad song.
- 51:31SPEAKER_04: What do you say?
- 51:32SPEAKER_04: It's like be original.
- 51:34SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, okay.
- 51:35SPEAKER_04: So let's just listen to this verse for a second until it gets like to the chorus.
- 51:39SPEAKER_04: I'm not trying to think of what that song was.
- 51:42SPEAKER_06: Oh, so this is just a stall.
- 51:43SPEAKER_04: Yeah, this is a stall.
- 51:46SPEAKER_04: This is so I can think and there's where there's no dead air.
- 52:02SPEAKER_06: So you've never heard this?
- 52:04SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 52:07SPEAKER_06: The only Jody Messina song I know is that uh that dance song.
- 52:14SPEAKER_06: So you what's it called?
- 52:16SPEAKER_06: Was it even Jody Messina?
- 52:19SPEAKER_04: I don't think Jodi Messina did the dance song.
- 52:21SPEAKER_06: What was that song?
- 52:22SPEAKER_06: I Hope You Dance or Oh, Lian Womack.
- 52:25SPEAKER_06: Lianne Womack, okay.
- 52:26SPEAKER_06: Wasn't even Jodi Messina.
- 52:28SPEAKER_04: Okay, so that's that's her song from the 90s, and then Cole Swindell did this.
- 52:38SPEAKER_04: Um You can hear her song in the background.
- 52:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's virtually the same song.
- 52:51SPEAKER_02: I was down with the boys catching up in a neon light.
- 52:58SPEAKER_02: We didn't know till we walked in.
- 53:00SPEAKER_02: It was karaoke tonight.
- 53:05SPEAKER_02: She was in a circle of girls, chasing the job with the line.
- 53:09SPEAKER_02: She was laughing, they were daring her to get on the mic.
- 53:13SPEAKER_02: One of them walked up and turned a night.
- 53:16SPEAKER_02: Next thing I knew, man, she was up on the stage.
- 53:24SPEAKER_02: She fall for a boy from South Georgia.
- 53:27SPEAKER_02: She's got the bar and the palm of her hand.
- 53:31SPEAKER_06: Yes.
- 53:31SPEAKER_06: Is it a tribute?
- 53:33SPEAKER_04: Or just a blatant ripoff.
- 53:35SPEAKER_04: Well, no, it's it's it's not a ripoff because they obviously used the song and just rewrote words to it.
- 53:42SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 53:43SPEAKER_04: Because it was a big hit before.
- 53:48SPEAKER_06: So So you just basically just changed the words a little bit to make it about a girl singing that song.
- 53:54SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 53:55SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 53:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, so but this but this one was kind of lazy, but alright.
- 54:01SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 54:01SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 54:02SPEAKER_04: And this one was the same thing, and it's really bugging me that I cannot think of it.
- 54:07SPEAKER_04: But it was it was another song.
- 54:11SPEAKER_04: And all they did was change the words.
- 54:14SPEAKER_04: The same guy?
- 54:15SPEAKER_04: No, I don't think it was the same guy.
- 54:17SPEAKER_04: Uh that's really gonna bug me.
- 54:21SPEAKER_04: It's really gonna bug me.
- 54:23SPEAKER_04: Uh anyway.
- 54:24SPEAKER_04: It is what it is.
- 54:24SPEAKER_04: It is what it is.
- 54:25SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it.
- 54:26SPEAKER_06: There's a there's a s there's a song out there that is bugging him.
- 54:32SPEAKER_06: That's that's the that's the bottom line.
- 54:34SPEAKER_04: I wonder if it's charting.
- 54:36SPEAKER_04: Uh let's see.
- 54:37SPEAKER_04: Country chart.
- 54:38SPEAKER_04: Uh new.
- 54:41SPEAKER_04: Um because if it's charting, uh I'm not gonna be able to see it on billboard because I don't have a subscription.

- 1:01:49SPEAKER_06: I think so.
- 1:01:49SPEAKER_06: Art rock.
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_06: I like art rock.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_06: Art rock?
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_06: The turtles?
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_06: Ask me some more questions.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_06: You're confusing me with art rock.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_04: Um, I guess, well, maybe art rock is not the right word.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_04: Blues rock, I guess.
- 1:02:11SPEAKER_04: It's not the stones.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 1:02:14SPEAKER_04: I'll tell you this.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_04: They only had one album.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_04: Oh, the Beatles.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 1:02:21SPEAKER_04: This album only has six songs on it.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_06: Was it Bad Fanger?
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_04: Nope.
- 1:02:29SPEAKER_03: It is a supergroup.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_03: Well, it was a super group.
- 1:02:33SPEAKER_06: It was a 60s supergroup?
- 1:02:35SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 1:02:36SPEAKER_06: It wasn't cream.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_06: No, but you closed.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_06: Was it a Clapton band?
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_06: It was.
- 1:02:43SPEAKER_06: So.
- 1:02:44SPEAKER_06: Was it blind faith?
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_06: It was blind faith.
- 1:02:47SPEAKER_04: Oh, where's my belt?
- 1:02:48SPEAKER_07: Hold on.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_07: Where's my bells?
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_07: Get it out of there.
- 1:02:52SPEAKER_07: No, hold on.
- 1:02:53SPEAKER_07: I don't know why it's not out already.
- 1:02:54SPEAKER_07: I don't know why that's not out either.
- 1:02:55SPEAKER_07: Hold on.
- 1:02:56SPEAKER_07: Why is there plastic around it?
- 1:02:57SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
- 1:02:58SPEAKER_07: What's going on?
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_06: Say it again.
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_06: Is it blind faith?
- 1:03:01SPEAKER_06: Yes, it's blind faith.
- 1:03:04SPEAKER_06: I was hoping to be louder.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_04: Maybe I did a number of it.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_06: It's too far away.
- 1:03:09SPEAKER_06: It was over here last time.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_06: Do it again.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_06: Is it blind faith?
- 1:03:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, there I go.
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_04: Perfect.
- 1:03:17SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 1:03:18SPEAKER_04: So the only album they ever did.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_04: What would you call it?
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_04: Blues rock?
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_06: Art rock.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_06: Well, you that's why I was confused when you said art rock.
- 1:03:28SPEAKER_06: I was like, what?
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_04: So the only guy I don't really know in this band was Rick Gretsch.
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_04: And he was the bass player.
- 1:03:35SPEAKER_06: Well, because he's the bass player, right?
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_06: Who knows bass player?
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_04: Might as well just put TB player on there.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_04: Yeah, just T B player, baby.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_04: So it's Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, and Ginger Baker.
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_04: And they only did six songs.
- 1:03:48SPEAKER_04: This one's called Had to Cry Today.
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_04: And Bonhomasa does a cool version of this.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_04: Have you ever heard Bonus?
- 1:03:54SPEAKER_06: No, but it does it does sound like something Bonhomasa would do.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_06: Um Have I heard this by Bonamasa?
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_04: Well we're gonna find out.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_04: It does sound like something he'd do, doesn't it?
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_04: Alright, here is Bonamasa's version.
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_06: No, I haven't heard this one.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, me too.
- 1:04:36SPEAKER_04: I like the song, and the the group the riff is awesome.
- 1:04:39SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:05:16SPEAKER_04: Great version.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_04: I great version.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_04: I like it.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_04: I like it.
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_04: Okay, so that's that, and then there's this one.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_04: You may have heard this.
- 1:05:24SPEAKER_04: It's go well all right.
- 1:05:33SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 1:05:43SPEAKER_04: And then there's a song that Clapton has done for years, a solo, but it was actually in blind faith that it became to be, which is the presence of the Lord.
- 1:05:52SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 1:05:53SPEAKER_06: Great song.
- 1:05:53SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:05:57SPEAKER_04: Steve Winwood on vocals.
- 1:05:59SPEAKER_04: Oh my goodness.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_04: And here's the reason why they only had six songs.
- 1:06:12SPEAKER_04: So the first song Had to Cry Today is almost nine minutes.
- 1:06:16SPEAKER_04: And then the last song is 15 minutes.
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_04: Oh, that's why.
- 1:06:19SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's why.
- 1:06:20SPEAKER_04: The one that I love the most on this album, and the one I think they're most known for, is this.
- 1:06:26SPEAKER_04: Can't find my way home.
- 1:06:37SPEAKER_03: You know this song.
- 1:06:38SPEAKER_06: Nope.
- 1:06:39SPEAKER_06: You've never heard this song.
- 1:06:40SPEAKER_06: Never heard this song.
- 1:06:41SPEAKER_06: I don't think.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_04: I bet you have.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_04: Hold on.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_04: Give it a second.
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_05: Oh.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_06: Yes, I have heard this one.
- 1:06:53SPEAKER_06: I just didn't realize.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_06: I just I don't know much blind faith, to be honest with you.
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_06: Well, there's it, there isn't much.
- 1:06:58SPEAKER_06: Yeah, just you know, the presence of the Lord.
- 1:07:00SPEAKER_06: That's all I only one I could point to and go, yeah, that was a blind faith song.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 1:07:05SPEAKER_04: The other songs on the album are Sea of Joy, and then of course the 15-minute song, Do What You Like.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_06: Apparently, do what you like is play for 15 minutes.
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_04: So this was between Cream and Derek and the Dominoes.
- 1:07:23SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:07:27SPEAKER_04: Anyway, so that's uh that is the album of the week.
- 1:07:30SPEAKER_04: Blind Faith.
- 1:07:32SPEAKER_04: Oh, and they had there's a lot of controversy too.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_04: You notice I have this uh on the cover because the actual cover is what appears to be, and I I I don't know if it is, uh, a topless.
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_04: It appears to be a prepubescent girl.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_06: That would uh that'd be a little awkward.
- 1:07:54SPEAKER_04: Yep, but I don't know, she may be of age and just looks young.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but I don't know how you can get away with it.
- 1:08:00SPEAKER_06: It was the 60s, though, man.
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:08:01SPEAKER_06: Especially in Britain.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:08:03SPEAKER_06: They had a little uh they were a little bit lucid there.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_04: Uh yeah, so so I uh I obviously turned it around in case my kids found the secret.
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's probably a good idea.
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_04: Um so yeah.
- 1:08:17SPEAKER_06: Um you forgot to turn it around.
- 1:08:18SPEAKER_06: Oh, did I?
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_03: Well, I'm looking at it this way, I think Yeah, let's do that.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_03: Let's make sure we do that, right?
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_05: Let's just do let's just do a pretty blue sky green field, not naked girl with a plane.
