  [music]
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: It is 104.7,
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_00: The Rocket Morning Show,
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: and this is your guest host,
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: Neely, along with my good friend, Chris Akin, what is up?
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: We're from the Classic Metal Show, and Chris, we're back again.
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: We've been invited back to host the Enid Morning Radio Show in lieu
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: of our good friend Scott and Anita,
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: who's taking the day off today, being it is Labor Day.
• 0:47
  SPEAKER_02: Now, are we really the guest hosts,
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_02: or are we just too lazy to do it every day
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_02: so we let those old folks pretend like they have a show?
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: We got an email from Anita saying that she turns her back on us for just a minute
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: and we're taking over her station, she says.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I agree with her.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's her station.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_02: That guy, Scott, he doesn't do nothing.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_02: Rip his heart and hope that he doesn't stroke out.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_02: That's all he's about.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, evidently,
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: they must have liked us well enough when we hosted the morning show in July,
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: on July 4th, that they asked us to come back and do another holiday show for them.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_02: Don't you feel like we're being used as scabs for holidays?
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's what it is.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like, hey, we want the day off.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: What two losers could we get to come in here and do the morning show and let us have
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: the day off so we can sleep in?
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_02: What two guys are so desperate for attention that they'll come in on a holiday and do the show?
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I know Neely and Chris.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Right, because we are two attention whores and we're glad to do it.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Right, we need everybody to love us.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Right, exactly.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this morning we kicked the show off with some Van Zandt.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's something you picked out, a tune called Can't Say It Loud Enough.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's,
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_02: obviously the Van Zandt Brothers,
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: lead vocalist of 38 Special,
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_02: and obviously on that song there, the lead guy from Leonard Skinner.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: Right, and also Steve Perry,
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: formerly of Journey,
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: making an appearance there off of his solo release,
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: which he released, what, that was like 1984.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: 84, right.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, 24 years ago.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: And from the Street Talk release, we heard It's Only Love, and then, of course, we...
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: Came out of that with some Bruce Springsteen, The Rising.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: And speaking of Bruce Springsteen,
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: during the morning show,
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_00: we're going to be talking to somebody from the E Street Band.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Is that right?
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 2:43
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to be talking to Nils Lofgren, the guitar player of the E Street Band.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: He's been there since probably the early 80s, I guess it's been.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_02: He's got a new album where,
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know if many people know this,
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_02: but before he was in the E Street Band,
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_02: he was actually in Neil Young's band, Crazy Horse.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: So now he's doing an album of covers where he sings Neil Young tunes.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_02: So it's kind of cool.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_02: And he agreed to come on the show.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_02: And ultimately,
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_02: I just like the fact that we're getting real interviews while Scott and Anita get
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_02: to interview Joe from Joe's Tractor there in Enid.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, look at us.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's probably why they asked us to come in and host the morning show
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: on 104.7 The Rocket because we do have that star appeal.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you know, sometimes they do too.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, there was a time not too long ago I listened in and they were doing
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: an all-day remote from out there at the drive-in theater.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, you can get some free hot dogs if you come out here to the drive-in.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's two for one.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Just bring in your tractor and you can get in free.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, well,
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: that'd be well worth the trip all the way up from Norman to get a free hot dog
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: at Joe's Tractor at the drive-in there in Hiranine at Oklahoma.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Scott didn't leave us empty-handed, Chris.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_00: He thought that he would help us out with the show opener, and, well, we didn't play it.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_02: No, we went with beating homeless people this morning, but...
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't know.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_02: I thought Scott's intro had a lot of potential, and I don't know.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_02: I thought it was pretty good.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why you vetoed it.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I listened to it, and he said, hey, I did your show intro for you.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: You don't even have to worry about it.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: I did all the work,
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: and we listened to it and said, well,
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_00: you know, you're never going to get that 10 minutes back, so sorry there, Scott.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're not going to embarrass ourselves with 30 seconds of your garbage,
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: so no, we're not playing it.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Scott put together about a minute and 30 second intro for us this morning,
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: which we didn't use,
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: but however, I'll be glad to play it now so we can pick it apart and make fun.

  SPEAKER_00: Well, there you go, Chris.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: That's what Scott left for us this morning.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Was he serious?
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was serious.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: He said, hey,
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: I did the opening song for you this morning,
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: so you don't even have to worry about that.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: So he left that here on a cart in the studio and said,
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: feel free to pop that in to start your show with.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_02: What kind of dog ass is that, man?
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, geez, oh man.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Scott's a good dude,
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: and he let us come into the coveted 1047 Rocket Studios,
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: and I noticed you're sitting in Scott's chair.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm going to do, too?
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't put the towel down, and I'm planning on staining this thing up.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to do all kinds of farting and stuff in this chair and leave all kinds
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_02: of skid marks here in the leather.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think of that, Scott?
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: Scott told us that nobody sits in his chair and nobody messes with his console,
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: but we are two edumacated radio individuals,
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: and, well, I think we can handle it, Scott.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: I'm thinking about putting my finger as far up my nose as I can get
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: and just wiping it right here on the arms of his chair.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_00: You just wait until he comes back in.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: He's going to have a heart attack again.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_02: Hey, how come my chair's all green and brown?
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_02: What the hell?
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: All right, dude.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it sounds like we got a pretty good show for the folks here in Enid this morning.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: So happy Labor Day to you.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Summer's over.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Time to get those rugrats back to school and, you know, wait for fall to come.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_02: And enjoy your day off because tomorrow it's going to be a long line in the unemployment line.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: So you, Enid, folks, enjoy this day off.
• 8:39
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let's jump into some music here, dude.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: You got some Boston pulled up here.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: And this past year,
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: it was very unfortunate that the lead singer of Boston,
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: Brad Delp, took his own life.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: Was it unfortunate or was it kind of funny the way he did it?
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it was unfortunate that he did it, but it was very, wow, calculated the way he did it.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_02: Who would ever think,
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_02: of all the ways you could kill yourself,
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: who would ever think to drag their grill into their house and close it into a room
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: and kill themselves from the fumes?
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: It was pretty ingenious.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he did it in the bathroom, of all things.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: He pulled two grills,
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: two charcoal grills into the bathroom,
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: fired those up,
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: pinned a note to his shirt,
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: laid down on the floor on a pillow,
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_00: crossed his arms on his chest, and just went to sleep.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: Now, if you were going to do that, dude,
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: and let's be honest here,
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: if you were going to do that,
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: wouldn't you just go for at least one last,
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: set of some good ribs or some chicken or something since you got the grills
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_02: in there anyway?
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm thinking to myself,
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: how bad can your life be being the lead singer of Boston,
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: entertaining millions of people over the last couple of decades to where you have
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: to take yourself out by dying from asphyxiation from barbecue grills in a bathroom?
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, what kind of bitch are you stuck with that you're grilling yourself to death?
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_02: That is really brutal.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_00: Very nice.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well, anyway,
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_00: Boston is back out on the road,
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: and they've tapped the lead singer from the band Striper,
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: Michael Sweet, who's been a guest on the Classic Metal Show.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_00: As a matter of fact, if you listen to the Classic Metal Show every week here on...
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_00: On 104.7 The Rocket or at cmsradio.net.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: We always ask a classic metal show traditional question to all our guests.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_00: How has Lemmy from Motorhead influenced your career?
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: And Michael Sweet of Striper and currently of Boston was
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: the very first person we ever asked that question to.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 300 interviews ago, it was Michael Sweet that
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: started it all.
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: Right, so here it is.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: This is Boston with Cool the Engines,
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: or should I say Cool the Grills, on your morning show, 104.7 The Rockets.
