- 1:54SPEAKER_04: It's the Kid from Twilight.
- 1:55SPEAKER_06: So the vampire actually does become a bat.
- 2:01SPEAKER_04: I never thought about it that way.
- 2:02SPEAKER_04: That's that's true.
- 2:03SPEAKER_06: Did we just drop out?
- 2:05SPEAKER_06: We did.
- 2:05SPEAKER_06: That was cool.
- 2:06SPEAKER_04: It was.
- 2:07SPEAKER_04: I planned it that way.
- 2:09SPEAKER_04: Um I went into it because uh, well, here's the thing that happened.
- 2:13SPEAKER_04: Um came home from work with with the kids on Friday, and Jude's been in Florida, right?
- 2:19SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 2:19SPEAKER_04: Well Yeah, I saw the What the frig, dude.
- 2:22SPEAKER_06: Didn't didn't I I like like scrolling through my thing and I see him with this this girl in a bikini, I'm like, wait a minute.
- 2:30SPEAKER_04: Is that Jude?
- 2:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 2:31SPEAKER_04: What the heck, dude?
- 2:32SPEAKER_04: So so but um my wife's birthday was yesterday.
- 2:37SPEAKER_04: We're recording this on Tuesday.
- 2:38SPEAKER_04: My wife's birthday was Monday.
- 2:40SPEAKER_04: Didn't we must have raised him right?
- 2:42SPEAKER_04: That kid went to Florida for spring break, and instead of going back to his college with the rest of his friends, uh his roommates and he came home.
- 2:53SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 2:53SPEAKER_04: He flew home, he surprised us on Friday.
- 2:56SPEAKER_04: Yeah, and of course, uh on her birthday, she had to drive him down to Pangor so he could catch a flight back out to college.
- 3:02SPEAKER_06: Happy birthday to her.
- 3:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but still she was, you know, I mean, we were all really surprised.
- 3:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, well, that's good.
- 3:08SPEAKER_04: And then there was, you know, some some sort of bug that went through the house, and um my uh number three has kind of a stuffy nose right now, and everybody's negative, you know.
- 3:17SPEAKER_04: We we did all that, but um so otherwise I wouldn't be here.
- 3:22SPEAKER_04: Right, exactly.
- 3:24SPEAKER_04: So um, yeah, so anyway, we he he I think it was Saturday night.
- 3:28SPEAKER_04: He's he's like, hey Dad, you want to go see the Batman?
- 3:31SPEAKER_04: I'm like, um I really didn't have any desire to see the Batman, but yeah, I'll go with you because you're my son and you're you came home for the weekend.
- 3:38SPEAKER_04: So we went to see it, and my expectations were low because what they've done to the Batman franchise.
- 3:47SPEAKER_04: I mean, to me, Michael Keaton will always be Batman.
- 3:52SPEAKER_04: Although I like the Christian Bale Batmans for production value and for the story.
- 4:00SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 4:01SPEAKER_04: I those were my favorite, the trilogy The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises, and Batman Begins and all that.
- 4:05SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:06SPEAKER_04: Uh, you know, the the George Clooney one I disregard.
- 4:09SPEAKER_04: Val Kilmer one was okay.
- 4:11SPEAKER_04: I like the Val Kilmer.
- 4:12SPEAKER_04: Yeah, the Val Kilmer one was okay.
- 4:13SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:14SPEAKER_04: Um and then uh well, Ben Affleck.
- 4:18SPEAKER_04: I haven't even seen Justice League or Batman vs.
- 4:20SPEAKER_04: Superman.
- 4:21SPEAKER_04: I haven't seen those.
- 4:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:22SPEAKER_04: So I don't know where that story goes.
- 4:23SPEAKER_06: He was actually a pretty decent Batman.
- 4:25SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:26SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 4:26SPEAKER_04: Um I didn't hear anything bad about it, but I just I just haven't seen it.
- 4:29SPEAKER_04: But you know, uh they just keep switching Batmans and stuff.
- 4:32SPEAKER_04: So I didn't have my expectations were low.
- 4:34SPEAKER_04: And I'm not gonna give you any spoilers or anything, obviously.
- 4:37SPEAKER_04: Um, but I will tell you that um because I watched some sort of trailer about DC comics, and this new Batman movie with Robert Pattinson, like you said, um, is completely separate from any other storyline in any other Batman.
- 4:56SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 4:57SPEAKER_04: So although there may be a sequel to it, it's not Ben Affleck's Batman.
- 5:03SPEAKER_04: It's not, I mean, it's a completely separate thing.
- 5:06SPEAKER_04: Sure.
- 5:07SPEAKER_04: So Robert Pattinson's not gonna be in Justice League, um, and so on and so forth.
- 5:12SPEAKER_04: He's not gonna play Batman and other things.
- 5:14SPEAKER_06: Well, it's all part of the DC multiverse.
- 5:16SPEAKER_06: I mean, you know, I guess there's you know, you can you can have infinite Batmans and infinite Batman storylines.
- 5:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 5:22SPEAKER_04: So I guess.
- 5:23SPEAKER_06: And it works out well.
- 5:24SPEAKER_04: Um I was I surprisingly really liked it.
- 5:29SPEAKER_04: Um I will say it was it was pretty slow, but it's a it's a dark uh thing anyway.
- 5:35SPEAKER_04: No, it's Batman.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: It's gotta be.
- 5:36SPEAKER_04: But I will say visually, um there are some scenes um that are almost poetry.
- 5:45SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's visually it's really well done.
- 5:50SPEAKER_04: Um so and and the performances were great, and the storyline was was I mean, it was good.
- 5:56SPEAKER_04: I mean, I I I don't really have any complaints about it.
- 5:59SPEAKER_04: Oh good.
- 6:00SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna rave about it.
- 6:01SPEAKER_04: It was but it was good.
- 6:03SPEAKER_04: I enjoyed it.
- 6:04SPEAKER_04: It's better than you thought.
- 6:05SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
- 6:05SPEAKER_04: Much much better than I thought.
- 6:07SPEAKER_04: And it was it was and and Robert Pattinson, I like I said, I went in there apprehensive and because I you know I've seen him other things, and he's okay.
- 6:15SPEAKER_04: He really did a good job.
- 6:17SPEAKER_04: Oh good.
- 6:17SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 6:18SPEAKER_04: He really did a good job.
- 6:19SPEAKER_04: So I would recommend it.
- 6:20SPEAKER_04: Good for you, Bobby.
- 6:21SPEAKER_04: I would recommend it.
- 6:22SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 6:22SPEAKER_04: I would recommend going to see it.
- 6:23SPEAKER_04: Um speaking of dark, was it dark when you got here?
- 6:26SPEAKER_04: No.
- 6:26SPEAKER_04: It wasn't.
- 6:27SPEAKER_06: Still pretty light out.
- 6:28SPEAKER_04: Because of daylight savings.
- 6:30SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 6:30SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:31SPEAKER_06: Well, I have this clock at my house that uh I never set back when the time changed.
- 6:37SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 6:37SPEAKER_06: So for the last six months I've been going, looking at it, going, oh, 10 o'clock.
- 6:42SPEAKER_06: That means it's only 9 o'clock.
- 6:44SPEAKER_06: Now I gotta go, oh, it's 10 o'clock.
- 6:48SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, it really is 10 o'clock.
- 6:50SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 6:50SPEAKER_04: Well, here's the thing.
- 6:51SPEAKER_04: One of the things I wanted to talk about was I don't know if you saw this or not, but the U.S.
- 6:57SPEAKER_04: Senate just approved a bill that would make daylight savings time permanent next year.
- 7:04SPEAKER_04: Okay.
- 7:05SPEAKER_04: What do you think about that?
- 7:06SPEAKER_06: There's nothing else important going on, apparently, in the world, so why not?
- 7:11SPEAKER_06: Good job, Senate.
- 7:13unknown: Yeah.
- 7:13SPEAKER_06: That's our tax dollars at work right there.
- 7:16SPEAKER_04: What do you think about that, though?
- 7:18SPEAKER_04: What do you I mean, because we live in an agricultural community, and I think wasn't that the agriculture community does not need daylight savings time anymore.
- 7:30SPEAKER_04: Because of technology?
- 7:31SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 7:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:32SPEAKER_06: I mean, we see it every harvest and every spring.
- 7:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 7:35SPEAKER_06: You'll you're driving by, it could be the middle of the night, you'll look out in a field, hey, there's a tractor that's lit up like a friggin' UFO.
- 7:42SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 7:42SPEAKER_04: So Yeah, you're not alone.
- 7:44SPEAKER_04: I think most people would would would keep it like to keep it the way it is now for good.
- 7:50SPEAKER_06: Why not?
- 7:51SPEAKER_06: I mean, it doesn't I mean Hawaii doesn't have daylight savings time, Arizona doesn't have daylight saving time.
- 7:56SPEAKER_04: Doesn't bother them.
- 7:57SPEAKER_04: And it doesn't do they don't do that in Europe or any any place like that, right?
- 8:00SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but Europe's different.
- 8:01SPEAKER_04: I know, but I'm just saying it's they're stupid.
- 8:04SPEAKER_04: No, I'm just kidding.
- 8:07SPEAKER_04: No, that's England.
- 8:08SPEAKER_04: We we had that whole conversation.
- 8:09SPEAKER_04: Right, that's right, yeah.
- 8:10SPEAKER_04: That's why we have no listeners in England.
- 8:12SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 8:12SPEAKER_04: Because of Because they're stupid.
- 8:13SPEAKER_04: Because we were uh trashing Adele and stuff.
- 8:16SPEAKER_04: We weren't really trashing Adele.
- 8:18SPEAKER_04: I know.
- 8:19SPEAKER_04: What episode was that?
- 8:20SPEAKER_04: Because I don't know.
- 8:21SPEAKER_04: Speaking of episodes, what episode is this?
- 8:23SPEAKER_04: 18th.
- 8:23SPEAKER_04: Season five, episode 18.
- 8:25SPEAKER_04: So we got what number what number were we?
- 8:28SPEAKER_06: This is number 95.
- 8:29SPEAKER_06: Five.
- 8:30SPEAKER_04: So we got five more after this.
- 8:31SPEAKER_06: Five more, but number one more.
- 8:35SPEAKER_06: We're gonna have we're gonna have Adele on our 100th episode.
- 8:38unknown: Yeah.
- 8:38SPEAKER_04: She's forgiving.
- 8:39SPEAKER_04: I'll just play her off her off my phone.
- 8:41SPEAKER_06: She would be like, we'll we'll just we'll just cut and paste like talk Bro Bride and don't go to bed.
- 8:47SPEAKER_06: That was a terrible impression.
- 8:48SPEAKER_06: I know.
- 8:48SPEAKER_06: I don't even know what she sounds like in real life, so I don't know.
- 8:51SPEAKER_04: She's actually really funny.
- 8:53SPEAKER_06: Well, that's what I heard, yes.
- 8:54SPEAKER_06: Uh but I don't know.
- 8:55SPEAKER_06: I just I'm so anti-pop culture.
- 8:59SPEAKER_04: So okay, so uh yeah, you reacted the way I thought you would react to uh Daylight Savings Time uh sticking around, which was I don't care.
- 9:07SPEAKER_06: No, I really don't.
- 9:08SPEAKER_06: I mean, does it is it going to affect my life in any meaningful way?
- 9:12SPEAKER_06: No.
- 9:13SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 9:13SPEAKER_04: So um the other thing I wanted to talk about, and I asked you to remind me, uh, because I already have it up here.
- 9:23SPEAKER_04: I think this is incredibly classy.
- 9:28SPEAKER_06: I was thinking of the same thing.
- 9:30SPEAKER_04: Um I mean, she went from here to Oh, and she was yeah, but here was she was high.
- 9:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, she was already high.
- 9:37SPEAKER_04: What we're talking about is we bitched and moaned uh all the time about the rock and roll hall of fame.
- 9:44SPEAKER_04: We do.
- 9:44SPEAKER_04: And the people that should be in, the people that aren't already in, and the people that shouldn't be in, and the people that are nominated, and blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 9:51SPEAKER_04: Now we both said we both love Dolly Parton.
- 9:55SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 9:55SPEAKER_04: We have respect for her uh i in country music, in you know, Hollywood, maybe, uh songwriting.
- 10:03SPEAKER_04: She's she's an amazing songwriter, she's an amazing musician, she's an amazing person.
- 10:06SPEAKER_04: She's done so much.
- 10:07SPEAKER_06: I've been to her theme park.
- 10:09SPEAKER_06: It's very nice.
- 10:09SPEAKER_06: Have you been to Dollywood?
- 10:10SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we went when I was in uh high school.
- 10:12SPEAKER_06: Oh, I didn't know that.
- 10:13SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 10:13SPEAKER_06: It was part of our we went to Nashville and like hung out in Nashville for like a week.
- 10:18SPEAKER_04: Very cool.
- 10:19SPEAKER_06: Yeah, it was fun.
- 10:19SPEAKER_06: I I really, really enjoyed Dollywood.
- 10:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 10:22SPEAKER_06: It was really fun.
- 10:22SPEAKER_06: That was you that was back in the 80s.
- 10:25SPEAKER_06: And it was fun then.
- 10:25SPEAKER_04: So it's like uh Dolly's Imagination Library.
- 10:28SPEAKER_04: Ten times fun.
- 10:29SPEAKER_04: Dolly's Imagination Library, where every kid in America gets a new book for like the first, you know, whatever of school that they they they attend.
- 10:38SPEAKER_04: Um she's done a lot for for a lot of people for a lot of years.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 10:42SPEAKER_04: We have the highest uh respect for her, and now I even have more respect for her because we moaned about the fact that Dolly Parton was up for induction into the rock and roll hall of fame, and it made no sense.
- 10:58SPEAKER_04: Still doesn't um to us and to a lot of other people as well.
- 11:02SPEAKER_06: Um because I understand more about physics than I do that.
- 11:06SPEAKER_06: And that's not a seance.
- 11:07SPEAKER_06: But she she's not a rock and roll artist.
- 11:10SPEAKER_06: This is the rock and roll hall of fame.
- 11:13SPEAKER_06: If it was Conway Tweedy, he started out rock and roll.
- 11:16SPEAKER_06: We could see that.
- 11:16SPEAKER_06: Okay.
- 11:17SPEAKER_04: It's uh it's only make-believe.
- 11:18SPEAKER_04: That was a ro a hit on the rock charts.
- 11:20SPEAKER_04: That was a absolutely.
- 11:22SPEAKER_06: Um But she's never had a hit on the rock chart.
- 11:24SPEAKER_04: She's never so well, I mean Whitney Houston did I will I I will always love you, but that was a pop.
- 11:29SPEAKER_04: But that was pop, right?
- 11:31SPEAKER_06: RB cast.
- 11:32SPEAKER_04: So Okay, so uh what I guess it was yesterday, it was on my wife's birthday that she released this statement.
- 11:38SPEAKER_04: I'm gonna read it in full.
- 11:40SPEAKER_04: Says Um and I don't know if she wrote it, but I would imagine she did because she's a writer.
- 11:47SPEAKER_04: It says, Dolly here, even though I am extremely flattered and grateful to be nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I don't feel that I have earned that right.
- 11:56SPEAKER_04: I really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow out.
- 12:03SPEAKER_04: I mean, come on.
- 12:04SPEAKER_04: Uh I do hope that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be willing to consider me again if I'm ever worthy.
- 12:11SPEAKER_04: This has, however, inspired me to put out a hopefully great rock and roll album at some point in the future, which I've always wanted to do.
- 12:19SPEAKER_04: My husband is a total rock and roll freak and has always encouraged me to do one.
- 12:24SPEAKER_04: I wish all of the nominees good luck and thank you again for the compliment.
- 12:28SPEAKER_04: Rock on, Dolly.
- 12:31SPEAKER_04: That is classy.
- 12:32SPEAKER_04: Super classy.
- 12:33SPEAKER_04: You know, she knows.
- 12:35SPEAKER_04: She knows too.
- 12:36SPEAKER_04: She gets it.
- 12:37SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 12:38SPEAKER_04: Um, and and actually, um, Jude Cole, who's my friend on Facebook, uh, believe it or not.
- 12:45SPEAKER_06: But not friends in real life.
- 12:47SPEAKER_04: Not friends in real life.
- 12:50SPEAKER_04: And the reason I said Jude Cole is uh is a uh uh an artist, a music artist and producer, um, and friends, great friends with Kiever Sutherland and a studio owner and all that stuff.
- 13:00SPEAKER_04: Anyway, I friended him on Facebook.
- 13:01SPEAKER_04: That's a long story.
- 13:02SPEAKER_04: I think I may have told that story before.
- 13:04SPEAKER_04: Um But he posted uh the same thing.
- 13:07SPEAKER_04: He posted what she had wrote written, and um That he wasn't gonna allow himself to be nominated with Ronnie?
- 13:13SPEAKER_04: No, no, no, no.
- 13:14SPEAKER_04: He he posted her statement.
- 13:15SPEAKER_04: Oh, gotcha.
- 13:16SPEAKER_04: And he said, uh this is what what did he say?
- 13:20SPEAKER_04: He said, This is the South I know.
- 13:25SPEAKER_04: Meaning, you know, you know, just just humble.
- 13:28SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't know if it's just the South, but I think it's just Dolly Parton as a person.
- 13:31SPEAKER_06: Absolutely.
- 13:32SPEAKER_04: You know, yeah, absolutely.
- 13:34SPEAKER_04: Um I just thought that was really cool.
- 13:37SPEAKER_04: And I thought it was um it needed to be done.
- 13:40SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, you knew the rock and roll hall of fame because they're a bunch of idiots.
- 13:44SPEAKER_06: Right.
- 13:44SPEAKER_06: So they're not gonna do it.
- 13:45SPEAKER_06: Exactly.
- 13:46SPEAKER_06: So, you know, somebody had to step up and be the adult.
- 13:50SPEAKER_04: And it's always gonna be Dolly.
- 13:52SPEAKER_04: It's always gonna be Dolly.
- 13:53SPEAKER_04: And she's she's the only adult cooler.
- 13:55SPEAKER_04: She doesn't take herself seriously at all.
- 13:58SPEAKER_04: No.
- 13:58SPEAKER_04: And that's the way that's like us.
- 14:01SPEAKER_04: We don't care.
- 14:02SPEAKER_04: Not really, you know.
- 14:03SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 14:03SPEAKER_04: And that's the way to be.
- 14:05SPEAKER_04: That's the way to be, I think.
- 14:06SPEAKER_04: You know, you don't take yourself seriously.
- 14:08SPEAKER_04: And she's I mean, if anyone could take themselves seriously, it would be Dolly Parton.
- 14:12SPEAKER_04: Oh, heck yeah.
- 14:12SPEAKER_04: Because she's achieved so much.
- 14:14SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 14:14SPEAKER_04: So I think we should try and get Dolly on.
- 14:17SPEAKER_04: That'd be cool.
- 14:18SPEAKER_04: Why not?
- 14:18SPEAKER_04: Wouldn't that be a fun conversation?
- 14:20SPEAKER_06: That would be a fun conversation.
- 14:21SPEAKER_04: Actually, you know, what would be a better conversation?
- 14:24SPEAKER_04: Dolly Parton's husband.

- 14:59SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 14:59SPEAKER_04: It was posted yesterday.
- 15:01SPEAKER_04: You know how we're we're talking about vinyl and how we fell in love with vinyl again, and we're collecting it and and whatnot.
- 15:07SPEAKER_04: And I got rid of a bunch of CDs, and now we do the Wall of Tunes and and all that because nobody listens to CDs anymore.
- 15:14SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 15:14SPEAKER_04: Well, uh CDs are back, apparently.
- 15:17SPEAKER_04: Oh, good.
- 15:20SPEAKER_06: Glad to hear it.
- 15:21SPEAKER_06: I'm gonna get rid of my vinyl collection now.
- 15:26SPEAKER_04: Who wants my vinyl collection?
- 15:28SPEAKER_04: This is from a website called whathi-fi.com.
- 15:33SPEAKER_04: CDs are back, compact disc sales just rose for the first time in 17 years.
- 15:38SPEAKER_04: Wow.
- 15:39SPEAKER_04: CD sales are up uh for the first time since 2004.
- 15:43SPEAKER_04: Um, according to data from the Recording Industry Association of America or the RIAA, uh shipments of compact discs rose from 31.6 million in 2020 to 46.6 million in 2021, a rise of 47%.
- 16:00SPEAKER_04: Revenue also rose from 483.2 million to 584.2 million.
- 16:06SPEAKER_04: The last time sales of CDs were on the up was in 2004.
- 16:10SPEAKER_04: Now they peaked in 2000, where nearly a billion discs were shipped in the United States alone.
- 16:18SPEAKER_04: But now they're it's following vinyl, you know, because there's a resurgence in vinyl.
- 16:23SPEAKER_04: Um I don't know what it is because I still like CDs.
- 16:32SPEAKER_04: I still like holding it in my hand, I still like reading liner notes, both for CDs and for vinyl.
- 16:40SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 16:40SPEAKER_04: I like finding out who wrote the songs, I like finding out you know who played the instruments on the record.
- 16:46SPEAKER_04: Um sometimes artists write like what the song is about, um, you know, or little, you know, and then in their thank yous.
- 16:54SPEAKER_04: I'd like to say thank you to this person, blah blah blah blah.
- 16:57SPEAKER_04: I like that stuff because it lets you get to know the artists more.
- 17:01SPEAKER_04: Um so I'm I I'm assuming that's why they're on the up again.
- 17:10SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
- 17:11SPEAKER_06: Um I think it's uh you know CDs are too Gen Z and millennials as vinyl is to us.
- 17:21SPEAKER_04: Yeah, maybe.
- 17:23SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I never thought about that way, but maybe.
- 17:25SPEAKER_04: I mean, CDs are they don't some there's some cars that don't even have CD players in them anymore.
- 17:30SPEAKER_04: I know, it's sad.
- 17:31SPEAKER_04: You know, uh and they are cumbersome to carry wherever you go, that's for sure.
- 17:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but you know, it's you know, you remember the big the big foliage through it and yeah, so like like if I wanted to if I was going on a road trip to you know, I don't know, Bangor, Portland, whatever, I used to bring like five or six CDs and listen to them like the whole album all the way down.
- 17:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 17:58SPEAKER_04: And now now I'm just like everybody else.
- 18:02SPEAKER_04: I'll put it on Sirius XM, whatever station, and and listen to whatever I want, basically, but I can't call it up.
- 18:10SPEAKER_04: I can't call up a song well you could, but not while you're driving.
- 18:14SPEAKER_06: Well, you're not supposed to, you know, right?
- 18:16SPEAKER_04: So but you should Right.
- 18:19SPEAKER_04: So I r I I used to like doing that, traveling and and listening to a full album.
- 18:25SPEAKER_06: Um Well, you made a road mix.
- 18:27SPEAKER_06: That was that was art in itself.
- 18:29SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 18:29SPEAKER_06: You know, making a mix, C D or a mixed tape, you know.
- 18:32SPEAKER_04: I still do that, believe it or not.
- 18:34SPEAKER_06: Well, yeah, it's fun.
- 18:35SPEAKER_04: Because I'll I'll um you know, I'll go to I'll go to sleep to music.
- 18:41SPEAKER_04: And I if I don't want to listen to one album, I'll take uh I'll take that artist.
- 18:46SPEAKER_04: Like for example, I made a mixed uh CD of Big Head Todd and the Monsters.
- 18:52SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 18:52SPEAKER_04: Like my favorite a couple of my favorite songs from each album.
- 18:55SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 18:56SPEAKER_04: And I could listen to that in the car, I could, I could I listen to that when I go to sleep.
- 19:01SPEAKER_04: Um it's I think making a mixtape is fun.
- 19:05SPEAKER_06: It is fun.
- 19:06SPEAKER_06: Like I said, it's a lost art.
- 19:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 19:08SPEAKER_04: You know, I agree.
- 19:09SPEAKER_04: I agree.
- 19:09SPEAKER_04: Anyway, I just wanted to to mention that that um I went and got rid of all those CDs.
- 19:18SPEAKER_04: Good thinking, you and I that was smart.
- 19:21SPEAKER_04: And I donated them too.

- 23:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 23:38SPEAKER_04: So if you if you pay attention, you'll see them cracking out through the whole thing.

- 26:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
- 26:49SPEAKER_04: And um they posted it and I was like, oh, New Kids on the Block, blah blah blah.
- 26:54SPEAKER_04: And I thought it was hilarious.
- 26:57SPEAKER_04: It is funny.
- 26:57SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 26:58SPEAKER_04: And for for you know, people our age, uh, they'll get right into it.
- 27:02SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah.
- 27:02SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 27:02SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I mean that's that's right up our alley.
- 27:04SPEAKER_06: There's so many references.
- 27:05SPEAKER_06: It seems like it wasn't too long ago that New Kids on a Block did a s did a did a song and they put out a video of themselves like as old men, but they were doing the song as the old men.
- 27:16SPEAKER_06: Oh, really?
- 27:16SPEAKER_06: Yeah, talking to like a class of you know again.
- 27:19SPEAKER_04: Here's the thing like Dolly Parton, not taking themselves seriously.
- 27:22SPEAKER_04: Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
- 27:23SPEAKER_04: You know, that's that's you know, humility.
- 27:26SPEAKER_04: That's w that's that's missing.
- 27:27SPEAKER_04: Yes, in in the street.
- 27:29SPEAKER_06: My sister was obsessed with New Kids on the Block.
- 27:32SPEAKER_04: I you know, I will say, um, because oftentimes boy bands, or boy groups, I should say, um get a bad rap.
- 27:46SPEAKER_04: Um New Kids on the Block were a boy group.
- 27:49SPEAKER_04: We actually had this discussion at my house the other day.
- 27:52SPEAKER_04: You they called them boy bands.
- 27:53SPEAKER_04: They're not boy bands.
- 27:54SPEAKER_06: Yeah, they don't I didn't see an instrument.
- 27:56SPEAKER_04: No, the Beatles were a boy band.
- 27:58SPEAKER_04: Um uh Hansen was a boy band.
- 28:00SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 28:01SPEAKER_04: You know.
- 28:02SPEAKER_04: Um New Kids on the Block was a boy group.
- 28:04SPEAKER_04: In sync was a boy group.
- 28:05SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 28:06SPEAKER_04: Uh Backstreet, Backstreet Boys 98 Degrees, these are boy groups.
- 28:09SPEAKER_04: Now listen, I'm not saying they can't play instruments, but they don't on their songs.
- 28:14SPEAKER_04: No.
- 28:15SPEAKER_04: And in their concerts.
- 28:16SPEAKER_04: They just sing.
- 28:17SPEAKER_04: They just for the most part, they just sing.
- 28:18SPEAKER_04: And I don't know, I'm sure like uh I I guarantee you Justin Timberlake sat down at a piano on one of the in-sync concerts and played piano.
- 28:26SPEAKER_04: You know, that's fine.
- 28:27SPEAKER_04: It's they're still a boy group.
- 28:29SPEAKER_04: They're not a boy band.
- 28:30SPEAKER_04: Um because they have a backing band so that they can dance.
- 28:34SPEAKER_04: Anyway, um New Kids on the Block, I got wrapped up in into it a little bit.
- 28:39SPEAKER_04: You know, I was just a kid.
- 28:41SPEAKER_04: Um the whole the right stuff thing.
- 28:44SPEAKER_04: Um because that was right around the time of wasn't it around the time of Pour Some Sugar on Me, Def Leopard?
- 28:52SPEAKER_04: 86, 87?
- 28:55SPEAKER_04: Um because I'm thinking of the video for the Ohio.
- 29:00SPEAKER_04: And they're all ripped jeans and everything.
- 29:02SPEAKER_04: It was the thing, it was the look.
- 29:04SPEAKER_04: You know, and I I didn't dislike a couple of their songs.
- 29:09SPEAKER_04: Now in the 90s, I I liked a lot of in-sync stuff.
- 29:14SPEAKER_04: Uh and and and some Backstreet Boys because it's ear candy.
- 29:19SPEAKER_04: It's pop music, it's catchy, it's hooky, and it's boys to men.
- 29:22SPEAKER_04: Boys to men.
- 29:23SPEAKER_04: Yep.
- 29:24SPEAKER_04: I mean uh boys to men.
- 29:28SPEAKER_06: I always like boys to men.
- 29:30SPEAKER_06: Here's the thing, I'm trying to think of They weren't really a boy band, they were more of an RB group.
- 29:35SPEAKER_06: They were more like a throwback to like the platters and man, they had some awesome.
- 29:40SPEAKER_04: They had some great harmonies.
- 29:42SPEAKER_04: Remember that song It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to yesterday?
- 29:45SPEAKER_04: Oh man.
- 29:46SPEAKER_04: I almost wish we could just because I don't I don't have a boys to men album.
- 29:52SPEAKER_04: I should I should remedy that.
- 29:54SPEAKER_06: Well I heard CDs are coming back.
- 29:56SPEAKER_06: So maybe you should get it.
- 30:02SPEAKER_06: I tell you you're gonna find boys to men on vinyl.
- 30:04SPEAKER_06: So Well, you never know.
- 30:06SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you might like new stuff probably.
- 30:09SPEAKER_04: Actually, you know, they're reissuing a bunch of stuff because vinyl is so huge.
- 30:13SPEAKER_04: If you go into uh well, the only place we have for a new vinyl, uh Walmart, which is scary, um they're reissuing all these old albums on on vinyl.
- 30:25SPEAKER_04: Um so you could probably I bet you I bet you Motown Philly will be is out on vinyl.
- 30:32SPEAKER_04: I bet you it is.
- 30:33SPEAKER_06: Uh do I not eat cow swing?
- 30:36SPEAKER_04: Let's talk about that for a second because there was a whole like Boys to Men, but before Boys to Men, there was Bobby Brown.
- 30:46SPEAKER_04: Well, Bobby Brown, but I mean I'm talking that whole late 80s, early 90s RB.
- 30:51SPEAKER_04: That was awesome because I was I'm sorry, man, but that was awesome.
- 30:55SPEAKER_04: It was awesome.
- 30:56SPEAKER_04: And it it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.
- 31:01SPEAKER_04: I I worked at um uh WCXU and we play it was it was a rainbow of music.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: We played we played everything from the 50s.
- 31:10SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, babe.

- 31:51SPEAKER_04: And you know, I don't know if he's responsible for that, but uh I guess.
- 31:54SPEAKER_06: I think it's babyface.
- 31:55SPEAKER_04: I was just gonna say, yeah, Kenny Baby Babyface Edmonds was responsible for a lot of that that those those years of Well, he was the Quincy Jones of the late 80s.
- 32:05SPEAKER_06: He really was RB, yeah.

- 1:00:46SPEAKER_04: You know what I mean?
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_11: I've got too much on my mind.
- 1:00:57SPEAKER_04: And here's the thing, you want to have everything to be discovered.
- 1:01:01SPEAKER_04: You don't want to, but you could almost dismiss him as because his lyrics are sometimes his lyrics are just rhyme it because it rhymes and just kind of fill in the blanks, and it's just it's it's not it's it's But I think that's how he writes songs.
- 1:01:21SPEAKER_04: Well that's what I'm saying.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_04: Because it's it's it seems like it's fluff and a lot and a lot of his songs are fluff, but then he writes something like yesterday.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:01:29SPEAKER_04: Or he writes something like uh let it be.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_04: Right.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_04: You know, um and it's simple simple, but so simple.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_04: It's genius.

- 1:02:02SPEAKER_04: I just got uh so uh I don't know if I told you this.

- 1:03:39SPEAKER_04: Flaming Pie.
- 1:03:40SPEAKER_06: Oh yeah, that's a good album.
- 1:03:42SPEAKER_06: This is a very good album.

- 1:03:50SPEAKER_04: Young Boy.
- 1:03:51SPEAKER_05: Yep.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_05: I love this song.
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_06: You'd almost swear that Harrison helped him write this song.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_06: It's just got that George Harrison quality to it, if you know what I mean.
- 1:04:09SPEAKER_06: Yep.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_04: You know who helped him a lot on this album?
- 1:04:22SPEAKER_04: Well, Jeff Lynn produced it, but Steve Miller.
- 1:04:26SPEAKER_04: Really?
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_04: I didn't know that.
- 1:04:32SPEAKER_06: But that explains the the traveling Willbury's quality sound.
- 1:04:37SPEAKER_06: Yeah, but Jeff Lynn's Jeff Lynn, yeah.
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_04: But he played most of the instruments on this.
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_04: Uh drums included.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: Oh, I'm sure.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's just who he is.
- 1:04:54SPEAKER_04: But you know what?
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_04: I could do it.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_04: Not as good.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_04: But if I had time and I didn't have a job and I could stay here and record, you and I could do this.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_04: We could album after album after album.
- 1:05:07SPEAKER_04: Heck yeah.
- 1:05:08SPEAKER_04: It wouldn't be great.
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_04: It wouldn't be as great as Paul McCartney, but we could do it.
- 1:05:11SPEAKER_04: We can do it.
- 1:05:12SPEAKER_04: It just annoys me that I have to go to work every day.
- 1:05:14SPEAKER_05: I hate my job.
