  SPEAKER_02: I don't even bother texting you most of the days just because it's like,
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: I know when you get off, the last thing, first of all, I know you.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: You probably just set your phone somewhere else away from you so
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_02: that it can't bother you and you go do something.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, I'm not going to bother him.

• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: it is.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: It's a weekend.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: I know it is.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know you've been on that regimen for close to two years now already.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: And it's working.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: If it's helping and it's working and you're able to get the sleep you need.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's it.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_02: I've been sleeping better than I have ever.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly,
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: I've been getting seven,
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: eight hours of sleep at least five nights a week, which for me is amazing.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: That is amazing.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: That is amazing.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_02: You've known me long enough to know four hours is generally it.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: And for me to be almost double that, I feel great.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: I really do feel great.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I went out,
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_00: I've been going out on Friday nights just,
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_00: just trying to get out of the house and there's a place down
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: the street here called Martinis and a good friend of mine,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: Russell,
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: he bartends down there and he's a good dude,
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: he's one of us,
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_00: he's a gun guy,
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: and we talk about guns and We,
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_00: you know, hang out, just shoot the shit about life in general and things like that.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, trying to be sociable, I try to be a little more sociable.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so kind of one of the things that I do periodically to,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: just kind of liven up things at the bar,
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: typically when,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: a new face comes through the door, I just automatically buy them their first drink.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know, just to make it social.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: And I ran into a family last night that actually set up at the bar last night.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I bought them all drinks, you know, and I met a new friend.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: His name is Kevin and he's a documentarian.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: He concentrates on the Holocaust of all things.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_00: And he does a lot of documentaries and things on Holocaust survivors and all
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: that kind of stuff.
• 6:00
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty intelligent guy.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: He's been doing this a while and he spent quite a bit of time in Germany and doing his research.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_00: And we got into talking about...
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Nazis and the war and bringing people to justice.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: And what brought that up is he was kind of telling me what he does.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_00: And the first thing that came to mind, remember back in...
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to remember.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: It was the early part of the 2000s, I believe.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: It was that John Demonyuk.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_02: the prison guard guy that lived here.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that he was a foreign worker.
• 6:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: And allegedly he supposedly was like a Nazi camp guard.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know,
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_00: there was a lot of questions about that and whether it really was or not or
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: if it was mistaken identity or whatever.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, they were shuttling him back and forth between Germany to stand trial.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: And I guess they convicted him over there or something.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then they like extradited him from here, didn't they?
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: And then he died like a year later or something.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: He beat that rap.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: So we were talking about that.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: I was asking if he remembered, you know, that case at all.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: If he was familiar with it anyway.
• 7:24
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah,
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_00: we were just kind of chatting it up and,
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: you know, talking and, you know, just having a pretty good time.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: Now I showed up at this place at six o'clock last night.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: And God damn it.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: If I didn't look at the clock, it was five minutes to 11.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like, where the hell did five hours go?
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it was, it was crazy.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, holy shit.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_00: Because it was last call and they were closing the joint down.
• 7:51
  SPEAKER_00: And I was just like, holy shit, it's five minutes.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_01: Closing at 11 o'clock on a Friday?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_01: It's a restaurant.
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a bar.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's a restaurant.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: So they close up at 11 on a Friday.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, I was just amazed at how fast the time was.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: Because I was actually socializing, which is, you know, not something I do that often, you know.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: But it was kind of fun to get out and,
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 8:19
  SPEAKER_00: just kind of shoot the shit with people and,
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: you know, engage people in conversation, you know.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: And it was a good time.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: So a couple of the folks who said that they were...
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, my God.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I warned them ahead of time.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: I said, well,
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_00: there are some things that may not set well with you,
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: but I'm just giving you the heads up.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I actually.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_02: Think that they might enjoy things,
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_02: especially the next segment,
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_02: segment two, which I actually have a plan and did show prep for.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_02: It took like two hours to do show prep for.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Holy shit, you did
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_02: show prep today.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_02: I did a bit of show prep tonight, and hopefully this turns out to be good, not bad.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_02: We'll get to that later.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to lie.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: I was laughing my ass off for the entire two hours.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's good.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's good.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_02: I need a good laugh.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I think you're going to get it with this.
• 9:37
  SPEAKER_02: When you hear the whole story behind this and then what I did,
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_02: you're going to be like, what the fuck is wrong with you?
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_02: So, yeah.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_02: Well, sounds like your week was fun.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_02: Just work.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of work.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of stress this week.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I came home on Thursday and the new season of tires was out.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: And so I binge watched all 12 episodes.

• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, yeah, I haven't turned the TV on in probably over a week.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_00: So I thought, I'm going to see what's on TV.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: And sure as shit, the advertisement for the Shane Gillis show, Tires, popped up.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I went, oh, great.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_00: The new season of Tires.
• 11:04
  SPEAKER_00: Dude, that show fucking is funny as hell.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: It's funny.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm like six episodes in.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_02: So I think I'm on the last episode of season one.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_02: I think season one is only six episodes.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm right there.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_02: And it is funny.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's one of those shows,
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: as I've talked about a million times,
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_02: I always have a TV on,
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: but I don't like when I'm working to watch something I want to watch because
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: then I'm watching the show and I'm not doing any work.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_02: So a lot of times I end up on the Pluto Law and Order channel or something,
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_02: just noise more or less.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just for background noise.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_02: So I've been working my way through tires.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's funny as fuck.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_02: You know who I like, though?
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I know Shane Gillis is the star,
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: and I don't know what the guy's name is,
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_02: but like the brother that owns the tire shop,
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_02: whatever his name is, or that runs it or whatever.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_02: That guy cracks me up because he is so good at playing a loser nerd.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_02: I can't believe how good he is at it.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: Too good.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they're cousins is what they are.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what it is?
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: Shane Gillis and they're cousins and his cousin runs the management end of it.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: He's one of the mechanics.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: But season three, holy shit.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to give any spoilers away because it just came out this week.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm just going to say this one thing.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: Shane Gillis...
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: He's one of the very few comedians out there who has an actual TV show
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: that represents people of conservative values and people who are two-way people.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: And there's not a lot of shows out there like that.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: No, there's none.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: And for him, because he's always picking on the liberals, you know?
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you'll see in season two,
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: probably one of my favorite Episodes of season two is when Shane Gillett,
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: they get a bonus at work.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_00: And he's like, what are you going to do with your bonus?
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: He goes, I'm going to go to buy a gun.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: And he buys a gun and he brings it to work and he starts flagging everybody with it and shit.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: He's like pointing it at his co-worker there and stuff.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: And he goes, see that?
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's called trigger discipline.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: But you wouldn't know anything about that because you're a liberal.
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_02: Nice.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_02: I like it.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so you'll enjoy it, but season three, Jesus, holy shit, over the top.
• 13:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm slowly making my way to that.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_02: I actually discovered a pretty good one last night out of a weird place.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_02: I don't usually like anything new on this channel,
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_02: but honestly, it came on only because I was like half high when it came on.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_02: I was watching Friday Night Smackdown.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_02: And it got to be 10 o'clock and I had already taken a gummy,
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_02: so I was like a little floaty in the head.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_02: And this show came on.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm telling you,
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_02: when I tell you the name of this, 100 out of 100 times you click the button.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: But the show was kick-ass.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's called Amy Pigeon.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: And this does not sound like anything I would like.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly, it's about forest park rangers and...
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: They're up in the mountains of somewhere.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure where, like Montana or somewhere.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_02: And they're protecting eagles.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like they have these cameras and shit with eagles.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_02: And then, you know, chaos ensues, of course.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_02: But it's a serious show.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: And it features the girl.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: Her name is Tracy Spiridakis.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: And she was on the show Chicago PD.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_02: And God damn, is she...
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: She is a fucking handful of dick going 100 miles an hour.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_02: She's like the main reason I was watching Chicago PD the last couple of years.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_02: But she left that show, I guess, to do this show because she's the lead in this show.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: But it's her and it's Tig from Sons of Anarchy.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_02: And there's like this whole she's like the park ranger.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: And then Tig is like the.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: The, you know, evil,
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't figured out,
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: there are only two episodes in,
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: but I haven't quite figured out what he is yet,
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: but he's some kind of like the evil rich guy that's trying to take over the land
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: or some shit.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_02: You know, good show though.
• 15:43
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, really good show.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_02: I was, I'm sitting there and I'm like,
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_02: looking at Tracy Spiridakis and going,
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: turn around and run, do something that I can watch you bounce.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm literally doing that.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: And before I know it, I'm into the show and I'm like, oh yeah, go get that kid.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I'm like yelling at my TV and shit.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, great show.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: So, but weird as fuck.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, the name is terrible.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_02: The name is why the show is only going to last probably two years and get canceled.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: Who the fuck is going to tune in to watch Amy Pigeon?
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_02: That's a terrible name.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not a very compelling name now, is it?
• 16:19
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_02: Well, dude, that's why I said 100.
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_02: And let me see if I can find the poster for it.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_02: It literally screams, don't watch me.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_02: Let me see here.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_01: Amy Pidgeon, G-E-L-N, show poster.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you see this poster.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: Let me pull it up here.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: Open the image and new tab.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: Look at this poster.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: If you saw this, would you ever watch this?
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: No, it looks like, it looks like, um, um, what is that?
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: What was that medicine woman?
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, Dr. Quinn Medicine?
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like that.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, everything about this is horror.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's Anna, not Amy, I guess, but Anna Pigeon.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_02: And, you know, it's just the post.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_02: Everything about it is bad as far as the look here.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_02: But then you watch the show and it's pretty fucking good.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_02: It's cut from like sort of that Yellowstone thing.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: But it's a little more,
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_02: it's sort of like Yellowstone,
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_02: but it's also like a Law & Order type thing where there is a storyline
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_02: that I'm assuming runs through the whole season,
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: but it's one of those shows that you can also just jump in and watch one episode
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_02: and you're fine, like NCIS or one of those types of shows.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_02: Anna Pigeon.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_02: Anna Pigeon.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_02: I never in a million years would have thought I'd be watching a show about
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_02: a chick forest ranger or whatever.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: So you only watched it because you were familiar with the actress?
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I only really watched it because I was half in the bag when SmackDown went off
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: and it just came on.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_02: It was the next thing on USA.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: So you just stumbled on it.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_02: I literally just, I was just laying there in bed and I was like, all right, got to get to sleep.
• 18:11
  SPEAKER_02: You know, got a long day tomorrow.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_02: You know,
• 18:14
  SPEAKER_02: I try to get to sleep early,
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: early on Fridays so that I can have a full day on Saturday and still catch a nap.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_02: And then Sunday, you know, it's the whole thing.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: I get you.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah,
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_02: I just was trying to get my ass to sleep and then this show came on and I watched it
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: and then I found out it was her and I was like, oh, I'm all in for this.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_02: Let me bookmark this show.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be watching this.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_02: And then I stayed up till like one in the morning because then I went back
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: and watched the first episode because last night was episode two.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, like it a lot.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_02: So if people are looking for something to watch and a pigeon...
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: As dumb as the name sounds.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree.
• 18:55
  SPEAKER_00: It's just, you know, why would you even want to watch that?
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I mean, the name is terrible.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_02: Absolutely horrible.
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_02: But I'm telling you, it's a good show.

  SPEAKER_02: Snowpiercer.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was on like TBS or something.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_02: And it was another one of them shows.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_02: If you saw it, it just looks like a train going through a fucking ice mountain thing.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_02: Looks stupid.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_02: It looks stupid.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_02: But then when you watched it, it was kick ass.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_02: It was like all kinds of,
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 19:40
  SPEAKER_02: different feuds and shit going on on the train and the rich people versus
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_02: the poor people and the, you know, plots to kill people and shit.

  SPEAKER_02: It was great.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_02: And it lasted for Jennifer Connelly was in that one.

  SPEAKER_02: once you dig deeper into any of these shows that I'm watching,
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: it's like, there's some hot chick that is famous that I've watched.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_02: Right.

  SPEAKER_02: You know, so.

  SPEAKER_02: You think Jennifer Conley's hot?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_02: I did at one time.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: I don't like her now that she's gotten older and a little more corporate-y,
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_02: a little more Hollywood.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_00: She just came off just kind of like I don't know.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't care for her at all.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_00: She just didn't.

  SPEAKER_02: You didn't like her bouncing on the ball in career opportunities?
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: Riding a little horse?

  SPEAKER_00: Just something about her.

  SPEAKER_02: Oh, I'm sure she is a cunt, but you know what?
• 20:51
  SPEAKER_02: She's got two things that put off that air of, I want to stare at you.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_02: I liked me some Jennifer Connelly in the old days.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: I just didn't find her to be all that attractive.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think I'm giving the full 50 to see her naked.

  SPEAKER_00: Dude, that shit was hilarious.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: Just wrong.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_02: It was wrong, but in the best way possible.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was just funny.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: Just funny.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: It was a good segment for the members only.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.

  SPEAKER_00: Okay.

  SPEAKER_00: So if you're not subscribed to the locals, you missed it last week.
• 22:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was a damn funny segment.
• 22:25
  SPEAKER_02: That really was.

  SPEAKER_02: And the week before, and this wasn't a member segment, this was a free one, was the Beach Boys.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 22:36
  SPEAKER_02: That was fucking hysterical as well.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: That was great.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_02: We've been kind of back in the groove a little bit.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_02: We sort of got into a groove of just,
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_02: all right,
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_02: here's another album,
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_02: here's another song, you know, and all of a sudden we're getting funny again.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I try to find something a little bit different.
• 22:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I know we're a music-centric show,
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: and I know you scour the music pages and stuff,
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_00: but when I find something weirder off,
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: you know, I like that stuff, too, because it's just like, oh, here's something.
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, Chris, here's something fucked up.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I love that stuff.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I love it.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_02: I just, you know,
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_02: after so many years being beaten down of, oh,
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_02: come it's called the Classic Metal Show,
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_02: and you're talking about Tits or whatever, you know, it's like, well, you know.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_02: It kind of goes hand in hand.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_02: Well, tits do,
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_02: but sometimes we get off talking about car parts or something
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_02: and it doesn't really go hand in hand with classic metal.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: It's a guy show.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: It's a guy.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_02: That is true.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 23:39
  SPEAKER_02: Unfortunately, the definition of what a guy is anymore is.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think we have any of the other types.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: Faggots?
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that tune into the show anyway.
• 23:50

  SPEAKER_02: That was pretty cool.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah?
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Is he still bitter?
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_02: I like Ross.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_02: It's funny because you interview somebody like that that has You know,
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_02: been around the world a zillion times and,
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_02: had success on that very limited,
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 25:51
  SPEAKER_02: there's maybe 10 people you can or 10 bands you can interview in the entire world
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_02: that have had that kind of success.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_02: And you think that the guy's just running through the motions.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know what I mean?
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_02: You just expect he's going to come on and go, hey, how are you?
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_02: And he doesn't have any clue that you talked to him like a year ago or whatever.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_02: He comes on and he's like, hello, Chris, round two, right?
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, yes, sir, let's do it.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: And he remembered the last interview, which was cool.
• 26:24
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that was great.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I feel bad for Ross because he got booted from the band twice.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he did.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_02: And, but he was in the band at the right time.
• 26:36
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, dude, he was in the band at Don't Stop Believin' Frontier Zero.
• 26:41
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the right time to be in Journey.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I mean,
• 26:45
  SPEAKER_00: he was one of the,
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if he's a founding member or one of the original members.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_00: He is one of the original members.
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_02: I think he's one of the original guys.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he got booted twice.
• 26:55
  SPEAKER_00: He got booted on the radio era, and then he got booted again, you know, the second time around.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know, ironically, though.
• 27:04
  SPEAKER_02: Neither era was that successful.
• 27:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, but the thing is, is that that was a loss of your livelihood.
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, again, he was in there in the real years,
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_02: in the years that I'm sure still put $10,000 to $50,000 checks a couple of times
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_02: a year in his mailbox.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I hope it's more than that.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_02: Well, whatever it is,
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_02: I'm sure, look,
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_02: He was doing this interview from his studio in his house,
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_02: and it looks better than the green screen studio I have behind me.
• 27:39
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's not broke.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's not.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_02: I know.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_02: It's amazing.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he is an original guy.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_02: He's played on the very first Journey Journey record.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: I sure hope he has some of that Journey money left.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure he has plenty.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you say that, but we know how some of these guys live.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: They make a lot of bad decisions.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_00: Talking to him?
• 28:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: he did.
• 28:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just saying a lot of musicians.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know a lot of those guys do.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_02: I don't get the impression he does just because he talks.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_02: Just talking to him, he's like, I, you know, I'm bored at home.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_02: I want to go play.
• 28:26
  SPEAKER_02: You know, he wants to play.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm like, dude, you've done it.
• 28:30
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, still got more to do.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:33
  SPEAKER_02: So I don't think he's,
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think he's that guy that's out blowing money on cars or houses or any of
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: that shit.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_02: I think he's one of those guys that's like looking for any opportunity to go play again.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I hope he's not one of those guys who had to have multiple divorces.
• 28:50
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you never know on that level.
• 28:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: I just never understand that.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm on my fourth wife.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, it doesn't, what are you doing on wiki?
• 29:01
  SPEAKER_02: It does not list any, any wives at all.
• 29:04
  SPEAKER_02: So maybe it was smart and didn't get any wives.
• 29:08
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe that would be the smartest,
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_02: but yeah, he's been in some bands though, man, even outside of journey.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he was in Todd Rundgren.
• 29:17
  SPEAKER_02: He was in Steve Miller.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_02: He was in the storm.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_02: I think Santana maybe, the early versions of Santana.
• 29:25
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's been in some stuff, man.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he was cool.
• 29:31
  SPEAKER_02: He was good.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly,
• 29:33
  SPEAKER_02: the biggest thing that I did this week is getting ready for,
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really going to be stepping outside of my quote-unquote comfort zone this week
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_02: on whatever day, I think Thursday.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_02: I'm doing an in-person interview out at Audio Bay with,
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_02: do you remember,
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_02: you probably remember this,
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_02: not all the fans will know it, unless they're true crime people.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_02: Do you remember the murder of Amy Mihaljevic in Bay Village in the late 80s?
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_02: She was like a 10-year-old kid.
• 30:11
  SPEAKER_02: Do you know that name or no?
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_00: No, I was living in California.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_00: Same.
• 30:15
  SPEAKER_02: I wasn't here either, so I didn't know much about it either.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_02: But it's around here.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_02: God, everybody I've mentioned it to is like, holy shit, really?
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_02: Around here, it's a huge deal.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm actually interviewing Amy's dad in person on Thursday
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_02: because I guess there's some kind of,
• 30:40
  SPEAKER_02: And again, I'm still doing my research, so I'm getting ready for it.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_02: But apparently there's some new evidence,
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_02: but it's not being checked because there's not enough money for the advanced DNA
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: or something, something, something.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_02: So I was asked if I would do this interview and put it out there so
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_02: that he can get his voice out there for that.
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_02: But that's very outside of my comfort zone.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_02: There's no ha-has for me to make in this one.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: So this is an unsolved murder?
• 31:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 31:14
  SPEAKER_02: After 35, I think it was in 88.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_02: It was in 88 and it's still unsolved and they've got DNA
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_02: and they've got physical evidence and they've got the body or the bones or whatever.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah,
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going out there doing an in-person one-on-one interview for that,
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_02: which is going to be I don't want to say fun, but interesting to say the least.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, who is this for?
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to use it for Chris Aiken Presents.
• 31:47
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I'm going to put it out under.
• 31:49
  SPEAKER_00: So how did you stumble on this opportunity?
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_02: One of the owners of the Crunch, Amy is his stepsister.
• 32:02
  SPEAKER_02: So he asked me if I could help out and I was like, whatever you need, you know, Sure.
• 32:10
  SPEAKER_02: And he's like, would you do a podcast with my dad?
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, yeah, sure.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: You know, and so then we arranged, got set up, found a time, and now we're going to do it.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_02: So that's how it came to be.
• 32:24
  SPEAKER_00: I gotcha.
• 32:25
  SPEAKER_00: So is this a kind of a fundraising thing or what?
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_02: I think so.
• 32:33
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure if there's a GoFundMe or there's some sort.
• 32:37
  SPEAKER_02: Again, I have to have a call on Monday just to make sure that I know what they need.
• 32:44
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll figure it out.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, man.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_02: I know I'm putting it into my own head to where it's really making me nuts.
• 32:55
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'll get in front of him and I'll be fine.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because if I'm good at anything, it's talking.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm sure once I get in front of him, I'll be able to figure it all out.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_02: But I literally have a list of like 75 questions.
• 33:11
  SPEAKER_02: And now I'm taking the 75 questions that I've written down.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_02: And like today, I watched four different documentaries on this.
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_02: Just...
• 33:21
  SPEAKER_02: So I could try and figure out, well,
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_02: this has already been asked and this is,
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_02: you know, because I don't want to waste the guy's time either.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you don't want to just ask the same questions that have been asked a million times.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I don't want to be one of these TikTok dicks,
• 33:34
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_02: oh, this is amazing and we can find us, you know, I don't want to be that guy.
• 33:39
  SPEAKER_02: I just want to kind of get to what we need to get to today to help today.
• 33:45
  SPEAKER_02: Because talking about the last 35 years of this probably doesn't help him much.
• 33:50
  SPEAKER_02: Fair.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so it'll be interesting.
• 33:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going into this the same way I went into like with Freeway Rick Ross,
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_02: where it's like making sure that I'm way, way,
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_02: way knowledgeable on the topic so that anything he throws at me is not a curveball.
• 34:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so...
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't expect that there will be a question like, so your daughter was murdered.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_00: What's that like?
• 34:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_00: How'd that feel?
• 34:18
  SPEAKER_00: No, probably not.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_00: No, you won't just ask, well, what's that like?
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 34:23
  SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think so.
• 34:25
  SPEAKER_02: Do you think if she'd live, she'd be on OnlyFans?
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_02: No, I don't think I'll be asking that either.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you won't be asking that either?
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_02: No, probably not.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_02: Probably not.
• 34:34
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to take it, you know, serious and try and do a good job and, you know.
• 34:40
  SPEAKER_02: And we'll see.
• 34:43
  SPEAKER_02: As I've said a zillion times on this show,
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_02: I am an absolute, I don't want to say fan, but watcher of true crime.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_02: I watch it constantly.
• 34:54
  SPEAKER_02: And now I've got a chance to dip my toe into it a little bit.
• 34:58
  SPEAKER_02: And I don't think that's unusual to anybody who listens to this show to think
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_02: of me trying something different.
• 35:03
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to try that
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_00: and Well,
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_00: it's always fun to come at,
• 35:08
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_00: an interview using your interview skills coming from a different angle or
• 35:13
  SPEAKER_00: a different, you know, genre or subject matter or whatever the case may be.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, metalheads, tired of waiting for new episodes?
• 35:21
  SPEAKER_03: Crave the real raw classic metal show?
• 35:24
  SPEAKER_03: For just $4.99 a month, you can become a CMS VIP.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_03: You get every episode a full week early,
• 35:30
  SPEAKER_03: completely uncensored and 100% commercial Nothing wrong with that.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_03: No, not at all.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_03: And I'll be plenty warmed up,
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_03: because I have, this week, one, two, three, four, that would be five,
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_02: And this would be six.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_02: I have six interviews coming up this week.
• 36:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well,
• 36:12
  SPEAKER_00: there was a short time there where you kind of laid off the interviews for a little
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_00: while and kind of freed up a little bit of your schedule.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: But it sounds like you're steamrolling back into it.
• 36:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm filling it up, and I'm filling it up with some good ones.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_02: I got Grandmaster Flash on Monday.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's going to be kick-ass.
• 36:31
  SPEAKER_02: I got Matt Sorum coming up.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_02: That's going to be good.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_02: Believe it or not, I've never interviewed Matt Sorum.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_02: I met Matt Sorum once.
• 36:38
  SPEAKER_02: I've met him once too,
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_02: but I've never interviewed him, so I'm looking forward to chatting with him.
• 36:43
  SPEAKER_02: Well, make sure you
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_00: get an ID from him.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'll get one, yeah.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_02: I've been getting them.
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_02: I got one today for you.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 36:50
  SPEAKER_02: You'll probably use it once more in the history of the show,
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: but I got one from Igor Cavalera for Nail Bomb.
• 36:58
  SPEAKER_02: Cause nail bomb is going out on tour.
• 37:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 37:02
  SPEAKER_02: So I, I,
• 37:03
  SPEAKER_02: I was chatting with Igor today and I got a,
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_02: I got a CMS ID for, for the show, but I didn't do any of the editing.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll send it to you probably tomorrow or Monday or whatever,
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_02: but you know, let's look at Fuego Grandmaster Flash.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_02: Seriously.
• 37:18
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 37:20
  SPEAKER_02: I love rap music.

  SPEAKER_02: I'm all in.
• 37:24
  SPEAKER_02: Someone can offer me that.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_02: Anybody in the Hall of Fame, as much as I think that building is a bag of shit, I'm doing it.
• 37:31
  SPEAKER_01: That's a big name.
• 37:32
  SPEAKER_01: Grandmaster Flash.
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_01: Fuck yeah.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm all about it.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: He's got to be how old?
• 37:38
  SPEAKER_02: 70?

  SPEAKER_02: Grandmaster Flash?
• 37:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_02: Let's find out.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_02: Grandmaster Flash.

  SPEAKER_02: He's got to be then because he had albums out when I was like 10.
• 37:51
  SPEAKER_02: 69.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, see, I was close.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: I said 70.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so I will be talking to the Grandmaster.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_02: How about that?
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_02: That pretty much closes the circle for me.
• 38:05
  SPEAKER_02: I've talked to LL,
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_02: I've talked to Ice Cube,
• 38:09
  SPEAKER_02: I've talked to Chuck D and Flavor Flav,
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_02: and
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_02: Run DMC, Daniel McDaniels, Daryl McDaniel, and now Grandmaster Flash.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_02: All of my 80s stuff.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_02: If I can find a Sugarhill Gang guy, I'm good.
• 38:28
  SPEAKER_00: So will you be breaking out a big piece of cardboard, doing some break dancing or anything?
• 38:33
  SPEAKER_02: I might sing Girls Love the Way She Spins to him.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_02: I might just have to sing.
• 38:41
  SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
• 38:44
  SPEAKER_02: Nah, I'm excited about that one.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_02: That's going to be fun.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_02: So I have all my fun haha ones out now.
• 38:51
  SPEAKER_02: And then when I get to Thursday, I'll be done being serious.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be into serious mode.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_02: I'll be like, how are we?
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, so,
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_02: but yeah, so,
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 39:01
  SPEAKER_02: busy week,
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_02: busy week coming up,
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_02: dude, I'm doing something I have not done in 30, at least 30 years, if not more.
• 39:12
  SPEAKER_02: I am going for the first on Friday.
• 39:15
  SPEAKER_02: I am going for the first time, like I said, in three decades.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_02: To a doctor, to a primary care physician, just for a checkup.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_02: What?
• 39:28
  SPEAKER_02: I have not been to a doctor for a checkup since I was in my 20s.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: I just never go,
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_02: I never go, and the only time I do go, it's, you know, to the emergency room.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean,
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_02: I've been to the Minute Clinic a few times,
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_02: but yeah,
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_02: I finally,
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_02: at Long Island,
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_02: another thing I got finally done this week,
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_02: I finally got my And I say finally, but it's my fault.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be blaming the government on this one,
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: but I finally got my VA benefits together.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_02: At long last, I got my VA shit approved.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_02: But in order to do anything with the VA medical, you have to get a physical.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_02: So I can't wait to be told all the fun things he's going to tell me.
• 40:17
  SPEAKER_02: Son, you're going to have to stop eating entirely.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_02: My blood should be good, though.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'm on day 14 of the fasting, and I feel good.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_02: I feel great, really.
• 40:31
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly,
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_02: it's amazing how two weeks of not putting...
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_00: You're getting all the garbage out of your system.
• 40:37
  SPEAKER_02: And it is amazing how much better you feel that fast.
• 40:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I felt like dog shit the first week.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_02: Last week, I was feeling okay with...
• 40:47
  SPEAKER_02: When we did the show last week, that was like the first day that I felt okay.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_02: I feel great now, man.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_02: I feel really, really good.
• 40:56
  SPEAKER_02: So day 14, sticking to it.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_02: And really the only cheat that I have in the whole entire thing is that I put
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_02: a splash of creamer in my coffee because I just can't do the black coffee.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 41:11
  SPEAKER_02: I've tried.
• 41:12
  SPEAKER_02: I tried and tried and it just, It's just like drinking cat piss.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_02: It's awful.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_02: Have you ever drank cat piss?
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_02: I haven't drank it, but I've had a cat piss and get in my fucking face.
• 41:26
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's horrible.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: This coffee tastes like cat piss.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_02: It's sad that I know that, but as I'm sure you remember, the ex was a big cat person.
• 41:39
  SPEAKER_02: There was a lot of times it was like pick up the cat to move it and pick up the cat
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_02: and just one time.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_02: Picked up the cat.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, you fucking thing.
• 41:49
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go run you over, you fuck.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_02: Put you in a bag, put a rock in it, and sink in a pool.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_02: I couldn't have animals in my house.
• 41:58
  SPEAKER_02: And cats are the worst.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_02: No way.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_02: Cats are the worst.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_02: I don't care.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of people complain about dogs because they bark and all that shit.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_02: Cats are way worse.
• 42:08
  SPEAKER_02: Because they don't do anything.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_02: They're literally a throw rug that leaves fucking lint and shit everywhere.
• 42:16
  SPEAKER_00: Fur.
• 42:17
  SPEAKER_00: I couldn't even imagine leaving the house covered in animal fur.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_02: And then people justify this fucking wide open box of shit that they let's fester
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_02: for three days at a time before they clean it up or whatever.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_02: It's like.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_02: I used to argue with Georgetta about that all the time.
• 42:37
  SPEAKER_02: She'd be like, you know, yipping about getting another cat or whatever.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, we got a fucking toilet that doesn't get flushed right there.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_02: Every time we walk in that room, we got to smell cat shit.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, this is the fucking worst.
• 42:50
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, what if I start just not flushing the toilet, but once every three fucking days?
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_02: Would you live with me?
• 42:58
  SPEAKER_02: No, you'd throw me right the fuck out.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_02: You would throw me right the fuck out.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_02: But with a cat, oh, well, they look cute when they're covering it with litter.
• 43:12
  SPEAKER_02: Cats are just fucking human rugs.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_02: They suck.
• 43:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, not my thing.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_02: Nope.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_02: Me either.
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_02: I'll never have another pet.
• 43:26
  SPEAKER_02: Never, never.
• 43:29
  SPEAKER_02: You and me both.
• 43:31
  SPEAKER_02: So anyway, that's my upcoming week.
• 43:33
  SPEAKER_02: That's my last week.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_02: Not a whole lot else.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_02: I do want to share one thing.
• 43:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_02: If you'll indulge me a little bit, because this involves one of our listeners.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 43:46
  SPEAKER_02: Shelly Rocks.
• 43:47
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_02: So I think it was Sunday.
• 43:50
  SPEAKER_02: It might have been Monday.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_02: Shelly sends me a link to a band.
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_02: Called Electric Callboy, I think.
• 44:01
  SPEAKER_02: C-A-L-L-B-O-Y.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_02: That's either cowboy or callboy or something.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_02: I really didn't know anything about him.
• 44:07
  SPEAKER_02: I've seen the name around, but I didn't know.
• 44:09
  SPEAKER_02: In my brain, they're like Ramstein, I guess, where they're over there, so I don't care.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_02: And I've seen the name, and I've never really paid no attention to this, right?
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_02: So I watched the video.
• 44:24
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, I'm going to show you the video.
• 44:26
  SPEAKER_02: I'll just show it.
• 44:27
  SPEAKER_02: We're going to do things a little goofy tonight.
• 44:30
  SPEAKER_02: We'll actually do a topic here in the first segment, and then I'll tell you why this was funny.
• 44:35
  SPEAKER_02: So she sends me this.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_02: This is the video she sends me, and she's like, I know you like stuff that's a little weird.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_02: I think you'll like this.
• 44:45
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, all right.
• 44:47
  SPEAKER_02: So here we go.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_02: Here's the video for The Way You Are from Electric Cowboy.
• 44:56
  SPEAKER_02: Now-
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: When you start seeing it, you'll see.
• 45:00
  SPEAKER_02: It shows you one thing, but it goes somewhere different, really in a hurry.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_02: Watch this.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'm feeling it.
• 45:19
  SPEAKER_02: Little Backstreet Boys thing.
• 45:22
  SPEAKER_03: When I look into your eyes, I want to give you all tonight.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_02: Gay guys having a little dinner.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_02: Alright.
• 45:30
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, you're digging it, right?
• 45:35
  SPEAKER_03: Hold on.
• 45:37
  SPEAKER_03: Don't judge it quite yet.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_03: Just the way you are.
• 46:04
  SPEAKER_03: When you pull me into pieces, I just love the way you are.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_03: Anyway,
• 46:37
  SPEAKER_03: you get the picture.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like the transition in the movie from Dusk Till Dawn.
• 46:43
  SPEAKER_00: You've got hot chicks dancing and all of a sudden everybody turns into blood-sucking vampires.
• 46:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, that is a hard turn, man.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_02: Backstreet Boys to Straight Up Murder Metal.
• 47:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's just like, can you guys gay it up in a video for just like about two minutes?
• 47:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_02: Well, the funny thing is, this is what these guys do.
• 47:12
  SPEAKER_02: This is their sound.
• 47:15
  SPEAKER_02: Is those...
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_02: The contrast between the two.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_02: And they're big time popular in Europe.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_02: This video here has like 1.5 million views on it.
• 47:26
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's like a month old.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it's the novelty of it, I think.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe,
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_02: but I mean,
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_02: they've been doing it now for, I think, seven, eight years at this point.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_02: It is a popular band in Europe.
• 47:43
  SPEAKER_02: But I just wasn't ready for this.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_02: This comes up.
• 47:50
  SPEAKER_02: So let me tell you why this is funny.
• 47:52
  SPEAKER_02: So you know this,
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_02: the audience does it,
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_02: but I've been kicking it a little bit with a girl that I used to know.
• 48:01
  SPEAKER_02: And to be clear, we're just kind of playing getting to know you again.
• 48:08
  SPEAKER_02: And we're texting a lot and calling a little bit or whatever.
• 48:12
  SPEAKER_02: And, um, you know, one of the things that we're talking about is music.
• 48:16
  SPEAKER_02: Cause when I knew her back in the day,
• 48:19
  SPEAKER_02: it was like,
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_02: we were,
• 48:20
  SPEAKER_02: that was one of the things that we did a lot was hung out and we're,
• 48:24
  SPEAKER_02: we're into different music and she's very much like me as far as she's good with rap
• 48:31
  SPEAKER_02: or metal or rock,
• 48:32
  SPEAKER_02: or even like Gregorian chanting and all like, she's way even more than me.
• 48:38
  SPEAKER_00: She's open-minded.
• 48:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 48:40
  SPEAKER_00: She's got a varied taste.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_02: So we were, you know, she's been throwing me, hey, what do you think of this?
• 48:48
  SPEAKER_02: And what do you think of that?
• 48:50
  SPEAKER_02: So after I watched this video, I was like, all right, let's see.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_02: Let's see how much you can deal with me.
• 48:57
  SPEAKER_02: And I threw her this video.
• 48:59
  SPEAKER_02: And she texts me like we were, I threw it to her in a text and she texts back right away.
• 49:03
  SPEAKER_02: She's like, ah, this is like the backstreet.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_02: And it's literally, this is like the backstreet.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_02: What the fuck is this?
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of shock value there.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 49:15
  SPEAKER_02: But, but yeah, it was just funny.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like, whew,
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_02: this hit,
• 49:19
  SPEAKER_02: this hit a home run for me because,
• 49:23
  SPEAKER_02: you know, then it's like, okay, I got the good laugh out of it, which is good.
• 49:26
  SPEAKER_02: So.
• 49:27
  SPEAKER_02: So good time.
• 49:29
  SPEAKER_02: So thank you, Shelly Rocks.
• 49:30
  SPEAKER_02: I must commend you on finding me a band now.
• 49:34
  SPEAKER_02: I've watched like every one of their videos and I very much enjoy this mishmash of craziness.
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_02: And I appreciate it.
• 49:42
  SPEAKER_02: I appreciate when the fans send me something that I really don't know shit about.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_02: This was one of them.
• 49:47
  SPEAKER_02: So thank you, Shelly.
• 49:49
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 49:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that was pretty bizarre.
• 49:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's nuts.
• 49:56
  SPEAKER_02: What I like about this video, they do it long enough to where you're really shocked.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_02: If they would have caught it 30, 40 seconds earlier, it's like, okay.
• 50:08
  SPEAKER_02: It's them pretending.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_02: But they went through a whole chorus and into a second bridge and then hit.
• 50:14
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, geez.
• 50:19
  SPEAKER_02: Too fucking funny, man.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_02: Like it.
• 50:21
  SPEAKER_02: Very good.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, very good.
• 50:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so...
• 50:25
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, that's what's going on over on this side of the world.
• 50:30
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 50:31
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I will be flying out to Florida on Thursday to accommodate the Dockin boys.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_02: Right on.
• 50:42
  SPEAKER_00: Doing a little road managing with them this week.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 50:46
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm flying out Thursday for a show on Friday at the Dora Music Hall
• 50:53
  SPEAKER_00: in Mount Dora, Florida on Friday.
• 50:55
  SPEAKER_00: And then we're going to Ferg's Pavilion in St. Petersburg, Florida for Saturday.
• 51:01
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 51:02
  SPEAKER_00: So if we have listeners in the Florida area that are going to come out to the show,
• 51:09
  SPEAKER_00: if you see me around, come over and make your acquaintance.
• 51:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:13
  SPEAKER_02: And just so everybody is aware...
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not promising this.
• 51:18
  SPEAKER_02: I'm really not promising this,
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_02: but if Neely and I can get our shit together,
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 51:25
  SPEAKER_02: in what is an already very busy week,
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_02: we'll try and get some segments recorded and give you guys a show.
• 51:34
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, not a pre-record.
• 51:36
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I'm willing to do a pre-record.
• 51:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 51:40
  SPEAKER_02: Just because, honestly, if I hadn't taken off two weeks ago, I would not be doing a pre-record.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_02: But since we were off just two weeks ago, I'm like, eh, we can come up with some new content.
• 51:53
  SPEAKER_02: And God knows my list of things that I have is like 30 items long,
• 51:59
  SPEAKER_02: and I know tonight we'll get to like four of them.
• 52:01
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 52:02
  SPEAKER_02: We'll have enough for another week.
• 52:05
  SPEAKER_02: So we will give you some semblance of a new show.
• 52:08
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what exactly, but...
• 52:11
  SPEAKER_02: I will say this, though, and this is for those of you that are in the FastPass zone.
• 52:20
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to put the new FastPass up as soon as we end tonight.
• 52:23
  SPEAKER_02: Get it in,
• 52:24
  SPEAKER_02: because if you get it in by Monday,
• 52:26
  SPEAKER_02: odds are good we might be able to put a music piece together with it as well.
• 52:32
  SPEAKER_02: But if it ain't in by Monday,
• 52:33
  SPEAKER_02: forget it, because by Wednesday, I will not have time to work on any of this shit.
• 52:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 52:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I'll put it up and that's a maybe.
• 52:42
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, I'll call it the medium pass this week because I'm not sure I'm going to use it.
• 52:50
  SPEAKER_02: It's a might be pass.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's it.
• 52:51
  SPEAKER_02: Exactly right.
• 52:53
  SPEAKER_02: If we do it, you'll get first shot, but I ain't promising that we're going to use it.
• 52:57
  SPEAKER_02: So we'll see.
• 53:00
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 53:01
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 53:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like I said,

  SPEAKER_00: I'll be in Florida on Friday and Saturday,
• 53:06
  SPEAKER_00: Mount Dora,
• 53:07
  SPEAKER_00: Florida at the Mount Dora Music Hall and then Ferg's Pavilion,
• 53:14
  SPEAKER_00: St. Petersburg, Florida next Saturday.
• 53:16
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_00: Fly home Sunday.
• 53:18
  SPEAKER_00: I'll be back in the Chicagoland area by 9.30 Sunday morning.
• 53:25
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, wow.
• 53:26
  SPEAKER_01: Look at that.
• 53:28
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's only like an hour, like a 90-minute flight.
• 53:32
  SPEAKER_01: From Florida to Chicago?
• 53:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not that far.
• 53:36
  SPEAKER_01: I would have thought that was like two, three hours.
• 53:38
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 53:40
  SPEAKER_00: My flight leaves at 7.30 and I land at 9.30.
• 53:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and you lose an hour or you gain an hour or whatever.
• 53:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, all right.
• 53:51
  SPEAKER_02: I just thought it was longer than that.
• 53:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's like two hours.
• 53:55
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's cool.
• 53:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 53:58
  SPEAKER_00: So that's what's going on there.
• 54:00
  SPEAKER_00: So happy days.
• 54:02
  SPEAKER_00: At least I'll get out of the state for a couple of days.
• 54:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no shit.
• 54:07
  SPEAKER_00: Because I haven't been able to do that all summer.
• 54:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 54:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it's time.
• 54:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it is.
• 54:12
  SPEAKER_00: It is.

• 56:41
  SPEAKER_00: From their self-titled debut release, that is Firehouse with All She Wrote.
• 56:46
  SPEAKER_00: That one going up by request to Sal.
• 56:48
  SPEAKER_00: Every Mother's Nightmare before that with Slip and Fall for Motor Chad.

• 57:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, boy, what happened to Every Mother's Nightmare?
• 57:11
  SPEAKER_01: What do you mean?
• 57:12
  SPEAKER_01: Bill Chavis dies, so too does their career.
• 57:15
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 57:16
  SPEAKER_01: Have you heard from them at all since Bill passed away?
• 57:19
  SPEAKER_00: No, but I think that there's probably more problems.
• 57:24
  SPEAKER_00: Is there?
• 57:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 57:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think you know what it is.
• 57:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm just playing along.
• 57:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 57:32
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 57:32
  SPEAKER_02: What could it be?
• 57:37
  SPEAKER_02: That guy's skinny because he eats well.
• 57:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, that's it.
• 57:40
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 57:42
  SPEAKER_00: So anyway,
• 57:43
  SPEAKER_00: listening to that Firehouse tune,
• 57:45
  SPEAKER_00: it just kind of made me think about the history of the CMS.
• 57:50
  SPEAKER_00: And it was kind of funny because Firehouse came in after
• 57:55
  SPEAKER_00: that whole genre was pretty much over and they were actually competing
• 57:59
  SPEAKER_00: for airtime players.
• 58:01
  SPEAKER_00: With the new wave of music, be it the Nirvanas and the Pearl Jams and Sound Gardens.
• 58:08
  SPEAKER_00: And they've won a Grammy for that album.
• 58:12
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 58:13
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't know that.
• 58:13
  SPEAKER_00: I believe so.
• 58:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they got a Grammy for that.
• 58:16
  SPEAKER_00: And that was like the last gasp.
• 58:19
  SPEAKER_00: That style of music, you know, still riding the charts.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 58:24
  SPEAKER_00: And I remember seeing them opening up for Poison.
• 58:28
  SPEAKER_00: It was Poison, Damn Yankees, and Firehouse.
• 58:32
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 58:33
  SPEAKER_00: And Firehouse,
• 58:34
  SPEAKER_00: they went on,
• 58:35
  SPEAKER_00: this was at Blossom Music Center, I believe they went on at like at six.
• 58:40
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 58:40
  SPEAKER_00: And it was still pretty light outside, you know, and
• 58:45
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't give them any lights or PA or anything.
• 58:49
  SPEAKER_00: So they sounded like a garage band.
• 58:53
  SPEAKER_00: They had no oomph behind them as far as the amps were concerned.
• 58:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then damn Yankees came out and just tore the place the fuck up.
• 59:02
  SPEAKER_00: Hell yeah.
• 59:03
  SPEAKER_00: It was great.
• 59:04
  SPEAKER_00: But now we're at...
• 59:05
  SPEAKER_00: At that point, would it ever occurred to me that I'd become very friendly with those guys?
• 59:11
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 59:12
  SPEAKER_00: Me and Bill Leverty, we chatted up all the time.
• 59:15
  SPEAKER_00: Every time I see Bill,
• 59:16
  SPEAKER_00: you know, he always comes over and, hey, Neely, it's so good to see you again, man.
• 59:20
  SPEAKER_00: Bill Leverty is one of the nicest guys you could ever know.
• 59:25
  SPEAKER_00: Just as friendly and just positive and upbeat and always just,
• 59:30
  SPEAKER_00: you know, Always got a good word for you.
• 59:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, unfortunately, CJ passed away a couple of years ago.
• 59:39
  SPEAKER_00: And we got to know him pretty well.
• 59:42
  SPEAKER_00: He kind of liked our sense of humor when he was doing that Rubicon cross.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 59:48
  SPEAKER_00: We had him on the show and he had heard about us and about our goofing and stuff.
• 59:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so he was goofing back with us.
• 59:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 59:58
  SPEAKER_00: And their new singer, Nate Peck, he and I have gotten to be pretty, you know, chummy.
• 1:00:05
  SPEAKER_00: That guy can sing.
• 1:00:06
  SPEAKER_00: He can sing.
• 1:00:07
  SPEAKER_00: And the thing,
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:00:08
  SPEAKER_00: the funny thing is,
• 1:00:09
  SPEAKER_00: is that when the solar eclipse happened a couple of summers ago,
• 1:00:17
  SPEAKER_00: we dock in and Lita Ford and Great White,
• 1:00:21
  SPEAKER_00: or not Great White,
• 1:00:22
  SPEAKER_00: but Jack Russell's Great White and Firehouse and Who else was on that bill?
• 1:00:29
  SPEAKER_00: But we were playing at a... Basically, it was a campground.
• 1:00:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:00:35
  SPEAKER_00: And it was called the Ground Zero Fest because that was like the best place in
• 1:00:40
  SPEAKER_00: the entire country to see the solar eclipse.
• 1:00:43
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:00:45
  SPEAKER_00: And that was the first... Actually, that's when CJ passed away that day.
• 1:00:51
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, wow.
• 1:00:53
  SPEAKER_00: Because he was sick with cancer.
• 1:00:55
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 1:00:56
  SPEAKER_00: And...
• 1:00:57
  SPEAKER_00: Just before we left the hotel to go to the gig, the news came down that CJ just passed away.
• 1:01:07
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, that sucks.
• 1:01:08
  SPEAKER_00: And Nate was already quote-unquote filling in for him because
• 1:01:15
  SPEAKER_00: he was just filling in.
• 1:01:16
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 1:01:17
  SPEAKER_00: Because CJ believed he was going to beat the cancer and get better,
• 1:01:21
  SPEAKER_00: but unfortunately he passed away from a heart attack.
• 1:01:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that sucks.
• 1:01:26
  SPEAKER_00: And so Nate just basically took the throne as far as being the lead vocalist.
• 1:01:33
  SPEAKER_00: But what was really funny is that when he was on America's Got Talent or The Voice or whatever.
• 1:01:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, one of them.
• 1:01:41
  SPEAKER_00: He was on one of those shows.
• 1:01:43
  SPEAKER_00: He sang a Dawkins song.
• 1:01:45
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:01:46
  SPEAKER_00: I believe he sang Lightning Strikes Again.
• 1:01:49
  SPEAKER_00: Nice.
• 1:01:50
  SPEAKER_00: Was his song on there.
• 1:01:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:01:54
  SPEAKER_00: I introduced him to Don,
• 1:01:55
  SPEAKER_00: and it was like me meeting Evil Knievel for the first time, you know what I mean?
• 1:02:01
  SPEAKER_00: Because it was just like, holy shit, this is Don Dockett.
• 1:02:04
  SPEAKER_00: This is the guy that I emulated, you know?
• 1:02:06
  SPEAKER_00: Right, sure.
• 1:02:07
  SPEAKER_00: So it was pretty funny, and Don said, yeah, I saw your performance.
• 1:02:11
  SPEAKER_00: It was pretty damn impressive, you know, and...
• 1:02:13
  SPEAKER_00: So that's got to be kind of weird.
• 1:02:15
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 1:02:15
  SPEAKER_00: you got to be on TV and you cover a band or a song of one of your favorite bands,
• 1:02:21
  SPEAKER_00: and then you get to meet the guy who actually sung
• 1:02:26
  SPEAKER_01: this song.
• 1:02:26
  SPEAKER_01: Andy saw you do it.
• 1:02:28
  SPEAKER_01: That's the other piece, too.
• 1:02:29
  SPEAKER_01: Andy actually saw you.
• 1:02:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that's pretty cool.
• 1:02:32
  SPEAKER_00: So it was kind of funny watching his reaction, you know, and chatting it up and stuff.
• 1:02:37
  SPEAKER_00: But it's like meeting your hero.
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 1:02:40
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 1:02:41
  SPEAKER_00: Definitely.
• 1:02:42
  SPEAKER_00: That's very cool.
• 1:02:43
  SPEAKER_00: It was fun to watch.
• 1:02:44
  SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I got to be pretty friendly with Nate.
• 1:02:46
  SPEAKER_00: Good guy.
• 1:02:47
  SPEAKER_00: Once in a while,
• 1:02:48
  SPEAKER_00: he sends me a text and he'll send me like a short video clip
• 1:02:53
  SPEAKER_00: of him knocking out some song in the studio.
• 1:02:57
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of like what Mariah does.
• 1:03:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know, doing a cover, that type of stuff.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 1:03:03
  SPEAKER_00: So once in a while, he'll shoot me over a text.
• 1:03:06
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, what do you think of this?
• 1:03:07
  SPEAKER_00: And send me, you know.
• 1:03:08
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 1:03:09
  SPEAKER_00: You know, doing a cover of somebody, you know.
• 1:03:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's cool.
• 1:03:13
  SPEAKER_00: Just for shits and giggles, you know.
• 1:03:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:03:16
  SPEAKER_02: That's awesome.
• 1:03:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_00: Good guys, though.
• 1:03:18
  SPEAKER_00: I like the firehouse guys.
• 1:03:20
  SPEAKER_00: I do, too.
• 1:03:20
  SPEAKER_02: I like them, too.
• 1:03:21
  SPEAKER_02: I never really was into them in the day.
• 1:03:23
  SPEAKER_02: I like them a lot more now than I did then.
• 1:03:25
  SPEAKER_02: Back then, I mean, I was, what, 91 or whatever when they came out?
• 1:03:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was 90, 91, yeah.
• 1:03:30
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I was done with hair metal at that point.
• 1:03:33
  SPEAKER_02: I was listening to my, you know, Rusty Cage and Pearl Jam.
• 1:03:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you were into the Stone Temple Pilots, man.
• 1:03:41
  SPEAKER_00: I really was.
• 1:03:42
  SPEAKER_02: I was into all the screaming trees, all that kind of shit.
• 1:03:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I had gotten really into death metal at that point,
• 1:03:48
  SPEAKER_02: too, because that was like the early
• 1:03:50
  SPEAKER_01: Cannibal Corpse records and that kind of shit.
• 1:03:53
  SPEAKER_01: So I was way into heavy, heavy music at that point.
• 1:03:56
  SPEAKER_01: But good stuff.
• 1:03:57
  SPEAKER_01: I like Firehouse.
• 1:03:59
  SPEAKER_01: They've kind of...
• 1:04:00
  SPEAKER_01: Come around to me.
• 1:04:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just kind of grew on you.
• 1:04:04
  SPEAKER_00: But they're huge over in India of all places.
• 1:04:09
  SPEAKER_02: You're weird how all these bands have these weird places that they're like the Beatles.
• 1:04:15
  SPEAKER_02: They're the Beatles of India.
• 1:04:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:20
  SPEAKER_02: God knows why.
• 1:04:21
  SPEAKER_02: What separates them from everybody else?
• 1:04:25
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I mean, I like them, but let's be honest, they sound like pretty much everybody else.
• 1:04:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but for some reason they resonated in India.
• 1:04:34
  SPEAKER_02: Must have had a TV appearance or something that went really well or something.
• 1:04:37
  SPEAKER_02: It has to be.
• 1:04:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:04:39
  SPEAKER_02: Or live show or something.
• 1:04:40
  SPEAKER_02: Because how did they rise above Poison or Warrant or Mr. Big?
• 1:04:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hard to say.
• 1:04:49
  SPEAKER_00: They just caught a lucky wave or something.
• 1:04:51
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 1:04:52
  SPEAKER_00: But I guess while they're shitting in the streets, they're singing bye-bye, baby, bye-bye.
• 1:04:57
  SPEAKER_02: And that was all she wrote.
• 1:04:59
  SPEAKER_00: That's all she wrote.
• 1:05:00
  SPEAKER_00: Now hand me that wiping stick.
• 1:05:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:05:04
  SPEAKER_02: Don't shake my left hand.
• 1:05:06
  SPEAKER_00: Right, exactly.
• 1:05:09
  SPEAKER_02: Gross people.
• 1:05:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:05:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I guess you got a special treat for us all.
• 1:05:14
  SPEAKER_00: I do.
• 1:05:15
  SPEAKER_00: This came to light...
• 1:05:21
  SPEAKER_02: I don't remember if it was yesterday or today.
• 1:05:25
  SPEAKER_01: So our good friend Rockin' Randy Trask, he texts me
• 1:05:29
  SPEAKER_02: or messages me all the time.
• 1:05:33
  SPEAKER_02: And we keep in good contact, and that's a good thing.
• 1:05:37
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
• 1:05:41
  SPEAKER_02: We drifted for a little bit, but now we're pretty much communicating all the time.
• 1:05:45
  SPEAKER_02: And so out of the blue,
• 1:05:48
  SPEAKER_02: in fact,
• 1:05:49
  SPEAKER_02: I can tell you,
• 1:05:50
  SPEAKER_02: I get this text or this Facebook message from him at 6.54 a.m.
• 1:05:57
  SPEAKER_02: today, like early, early morning.
• 1:06:01
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:06:02
  SPEAKER_02: And it says, and I'm going to read it, and then you'll get where we're going.
• 1:06:07
  SPEAKER_02: He says, Chris,
• 1:06:08
  SPEAKER_02: I would love to find a band, young,
• 1:06:11
  SPEAKER_02: old, any band, that could take my songs on my band's CD and make them sound good.
• 1:06:18
  SPEAKER_02: And yes, I would have no hands-on contact or voice contact.
• 1:06:24
  SPEAKER_02: LOL.
• 1:06:25
  SPEAKER_02: I would just like to hear someone else perform them well.
• 1:06:29

• 1:07:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's pretty funny.
• 1:07:07
  SPEAKER_00: He would say, I would like to hear my songs performed well.
• 1:07:10
  SPEAKER_02: Well, he knows as well as, I mean...
• 1:07:13
  SPEAKER_02: As much as we goofed on it,
• 1:07:14
  SPEAKER_02: he knows that he needs to redo them in a real studio with a real engineer
• 1:07:22
  SPEAKER_02: and somebody with a real ear on it to do it.
• 1:07:25
  SPEAKER_02: But it got my brain cranking, as it does.
• 1:07:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, well, just by coincidence, really, I had done a paid job.
• 1:07:39
  SPEAKER_02: So subscription to Suno for a month because I needed to redo
• 1:07:43
  SPEAKER_02: the Seth Williams thing,
• 1:07:45
  SPEAKER_02: the new,
• 1:07:46
  SPEAKER_02: the Seth Williams logo,
• 1:07:47
  SPEAKER_02: because the original one talked about him only losing one leg and now he's lost two.
• 1:07:51
  SPEAKER_02: So I felt like that needed to go.
• 1:07:53
  SPEAKER_02: I needed to have a new one.
• 1:07:55
  SPEAKER_01: And so I signed up for Suno for a month and you get however many songs you get, whatever it is.
• 1:08:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, Well, I'm going to take Randy's songs and I'm going to feed them into Suno.
• 1:08:08
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to take the time.
• 1:08:10
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to write out the lyrics and I'm going to do it.
• 1:08:16
  SPEAKER_02: So then, of course, I found out that I did not save the files.
• 1:08:19
  SPEAKER_02: And I asked you in the middle of the day today, I was like, hey, do you have
• 1:08:23
  SPEAKER_01: Randy's thing?
• 1:08:24
  SPEAKER_01: And you were like, no, he never sent it to me.
• 1:08:26
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, okay.
• 1:08:27
  SPEAKER_02: So then I found the disc.
• 1:08:29
  SPEAKER_02: And of course, once again, I couldn't get the disc to fucking play.
• 1:08:33
  SPEAKER_02: In any of my computers.
• 1:08:35
  SPEAKER_02: So I didn't have those songs, but of course I did have roller coaster.
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
• 1:08:41
  SPEAKER_02: His boss hit bomb, single roller coaster.
• 1:08:44
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.
• 1:08:46
  SPEAKER_02: So I took the time and I wrote out all the lyrics to roller coaster and I put them
• 1:08:52
  SPEAKER_02: into Suno and I started playing so that I could give Randy an idea
• 1:08:57
  SPEAKER_02: of what his songs could sound like.
• 1:09:00
  SPEAKER_02: With an ear for musicality on them.
• 1:09:05
  SPEAKER_02: So I have a bunch of different versions of The Great Roller Coaster.
• 1:09:10
  SPEAKER_02: Okay.
• 1:09:11
  SPEAKER_02: And I'll share them.
• 1:09:12
  SPEAKER_02: But before I share them, I'm going to go ahead and remind everybody of the greatness.
• 1:09:20
  SPEAKER_00: What the original was like.
• 1:09:21
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 1:09:23
  SPEAKER_02: And I'm not going to lie.
• 1:09:25
  SPEAKER_02: I actually like this song.
• 1:09:28
  SPEAKER_02: No bullshit.
• 1:09:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's 100% truth.
• 1:09:32
  SPEAKER_02: I do like the original version of
• 1:09:35
  SPEAKER_00: Rollercoaster.
• 1:09:36
  SPEAKER_00: This is like Red Rain's Not That Way.
• 1:09:39
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, it is.
• 1:09:41
  SPEAKER_02: This is Randy's one.
• 1:09:43
  SPEAKER_02: And for whatever stupid reason, I love the banjo in this song, which we'll get to in a minute.
• 1:09:48
  SPEAKER_00: It kind of reminds you of that early Zach Wilde, that Pride and Glory.
• 1:09:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, the Pride and Glory, exactly.
• 1:09:55
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 1:09:56
  SPEAKER_02: So just to remind everybody, here's a little bit of Roller Coaster.
• 1:10:00
  SPEAKER_02: This is Randy Trask and the Buds.
• 1:10:20
  SPEAKER_03: My life's a roll, oh, oh, oh, the car was dark, I can't really hurry.
• 1:10:26
  SPEAKER_03: I got
• 1:10:31
  SPEAKER_03: a road, got a road, rock
• 1:10:41
  SPEAKER_03: and roll, going to do until my dying baby.
• 1:10:52
  SPEAKER_03: I got a sweet, sweet,
• 1:10:54
  SPEAKER_03: sweet, sweet, sweet little walnut All
• 1:11:02
  SPEAKER_02: right, so you get the gist of it, right?
• 1:11:04
  SPEAKER_02: Yep.
• 1:11:06
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so that is the original of the song.
• 1:11:11
  SPEAKER_02: So I take it into Suno.
• 1:11:12
  SPEAKER_02: And for people that don't know, Suno is one of these, it just generates music.
• 1:11:17
  SPEAKER_02: And with the paid account,
• 1:11:19
  SPEAKER_02: you can give it lyrics and whatever, and you just tell it what you want.
• 1:11:22
  SPEAKER_02: And it gives you what it thinks based on what you describe.
• 1:11:30
  SPEAKER_02: So I went into Suno and I typed out all the lyrics to this thing.
• 1:11:34
  SPEAKER_02: And the first thing I told it was, I want a song that sounds like 80s hard rock hair metal.
• 1:11:44
  SPEAKER_02: That's what I want.
• 1:11:45
  SPEAKER_02: I want the big sound.
• 1:11:47
  SPEAKER_02: I want the big vocal.
• 1:11:48
  SPEAKER_02: I want the big drums.
• 1:11:49
  SPEAKER_02: I want it to be anthemic.
• 1:11:51
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I give it all these directions.
• 1:11:55
  SPEAKER_02: So here for the first time,
• 1:11:56
  SPEAKER_02: and I know Randy's watching this because I actually told him to watch earlier today.
• 1:12:01
  SPEAKER_02: Here, Randy, is what your band would sound like if another band that had a budget...
• 1:12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Played your song.
• 1:12:09
  SPEAKER_02: So here's Rollercoaster.
• 1:12:10
  SPEAKER_02: This is the first version I'm going to give you
• 1:12:16
  SPEAKER_02: is the hair metal version of Rollercoaster.
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_02: So check it out.
• 1:12:21
  SPEAKER_02: All right.

  SPEAKER_03: I got a
• 1:13:11
  SPEAKER_03: sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet little woman.
• 1:13:14
  SPEAKER_03: Sweet little woman.
• 1:13:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she looks so fine.
• 1:13:20
  SPEAKER_03: I got a sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet little woman.
• 1:13:25
  SPEAKER_03: Sweet little woman.
• 1:13:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, she looks so fine.
• 1:13:34
  SPEAKER_03: That woman's been messing around on me,
• 1:13:41
  SPEAKER_00: got me going out of my mind, yeah.
• 1:13:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's pretty listenable, right?
• 1:13:48
  SPEAKER_00: So how'd you get your land to do the vocals?
• 1:13:52
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 1:13:53
  SPEAKER_01: I just told it I wanted to sound like an 80s singer.
• 1:13:56
  SPEAKER_00: And did you specifically say put banjo in it?
• 1:14:00
  SPEAKER_00: I did.
• 1:14:01
  SPEAKER_02: I did.
• 1:14:02
  SPEAKER_02: On almost all of the ones that I'm going to share with you,
• 1:14:04
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, make sure you add a banjo.
• 1:14:07
  SPEAKER_02: Have an anjo to accent the guitar.
• 1:14:10
  SPEAKER_00: Because I think the banjo is like following along the vocal line.
• 1:14:16
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and I mean, I think with Roller Coaster, the banjo is an important part of the song.
• 1:14:21
  SPEAKER_02: Well, of course it is.
• 1:14:22
  SPEAKER_02: So we have to have that.
• 1:14:25
  SPEAKER_02: So that is version one.
• 1:14:27
  SPEAKER_02: There's plenty of versions.
• 1:14:28
  SPEAKER_02: Because he's losing his mind.
• 1:14:29
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 1:14:31
  SPEAKER_02: So then here's another one.
• 1:14:34
  SPEAKER_02: This is another one.
• 1:14:35
  SPEAKER_02: That's a different eighties version of roller coaster.
• 1:14:40
  SPEAKER_02: Let's get that.
• 1:14:41
  My life's
• 1:14:45
  a
• 1:14:51
  roll, roll, roll, roll,
• 1:14:57
  SPEAKER_03: roll, roll.
• 1:15:01
  SPEAKER_03: Can't
• 1:15:04
  SPEAKER_03: give it to me
• 1:15:07
  SPEAKER_03: every day.
• 1:15:10
  SPEAKER_03: I gotta roll, gotta
• 1:15:20
  SPEAKER_03: roll, I'm gonna do it till my dying day.
• 1:15:33
  SPEAKER_03: I got a sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet little woman.
• 1:15:39
  SPEAKER_03: Sweet little woman, yeah, she looks so fine.
• 1:15:46
  SPEAKER_03: I got a sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet little woman.
• 1:15:53
  SPEAKER_03: Sweet little woman, yeah, she looks so fine.
• 1:16:02
  SPEAKER_03: Come on, that's pretty good.
• 1:16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Again, you wouldn't,
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 1:16:28
  SPEAKER_00: that AI shit, that's just, that just proves that the music business is over.
• 1:16:32
  SPEAKER_00: The music business is over.
• 1:16:33
  SPEAKER_02: Because these are, I have 12 of these, I think.
• 1:16:38
  SPEAKER_02: I think there's 12.
• 1:16:39
  SPEAKER_02: And it took me,
• 1:16:42
  SPEAKER_02: it probably took me an hour to make them because I was tweaking them a little bit.
• 1:16:45
  SPEAKER_02: I wasn't, like,
• 1:16:47
  SPEAKER_02: there was a couple that didn't come out with the banjo on it,
• 1:16:50
  SPEAKER_02: or I told it to do one thing and it didn't, so I had to redo it.
• 1:16:54
  SPEAKER_02: But I mean, This shit is listenable now.
• 1:16:58
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying it's great.
• 1:16:59
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's, it's not replacing human beings, but it's getting there.
• 1:17:04
  SPEAKER_02: It's getting there quick.
• 1:17:06
  SPEAKER_02: All right.
• 1:17:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I've got two more of the eighties style and these,
• 1:17:11
  SPEAKER_02: I won't play as long because they're sort of similar to what we're hearing,
• 1:17:15
  SPEAKER_02: but, but here's number three of the eighties style of roller coaster.
• 1:17:38
  SPEAKER_01: Like a rat song.
• 1:17:44
  SPEAKER_03: I like to roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, rollercoaster.
• 1:17:52
  SPEAKER_03: Can't heal it.
• 1:17:59
  SPEAKER_02: What I like best on this one is the little bit of banjo picking in
• 1:18:03
  SPEAKER_00: between.
• 1:18:04
  SPEAKER_00: Every one of these vocal 80s style vocals is David Coverdale.
• 1:18:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 1:18:10
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:18:11
  SPEAKER_02: Which that's all right.
• 1:18:14
  SPEAKER_00: What I'm saying is, did David Coverdale define the 80s?
• 1:18:18
  SPEAKER_00: I guess.
• 1:18:19
  SPEAKER_00: Is that what the AI thinks?
• 1:18:21
  SPEAKER_02: I guess.
• 1:18:21
  SPEAKER_02: The worst part about Suno is you can't say.
• 1:18:25
  SPEAKER_02: I want it to sound like Axl Rose, or I want it to sound like Bret Michaels or whoever.
• 1:18:30
  SPEAKER_02: You just have to say, you can't name a song name, like an actual song name or an actual artist.
• 1:18:37
  SPEAKER_02: You have to say 80 sounding from 83 to 85, you know, that was at the top of the charts.
• 1:18:45
  SPEAKER_02: Like you have to find ways to sort of work your way to it.
• 1:18:50
  SPEAKER_00: But so is that, is that the, um, Concern about copyright infringement?
• 1:18:55
  SPEAKER_00: They won't allow that or what?
• 1:18:57
  SPEAKER_02: I think so.
• 1:18:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think if your directions are,
• 1:19:01
  SPEAKER_02: give me a song that sounds like Motley Crue,
• 1:19:03
  SPEAKER_02: and then they, you know, because they're stealing from all these people.
• 1:19:06
  SPEAKER_02: Let's be honest.
• 1:19:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not going to lie and try and pretend that's not what they're doing.
• 1:19:10
  SPEAKER_02: They're totally stealing what everybody else has done and mishmashing it into their own thing.
• 1:19:16
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I think it is a copyright thing.
• 1:19:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 1:19:20
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so that was number three.
• 1:19:21
  SPEAKER_02: I got one more of this style and then we'll have some fun.
• 1:19:24
  SPEAKER_02: So this is the last one.
• 1:19:26
  SPEAKER_02: This is number four of the 80s hair metal style of roller coaster.
• 1:20:03
  SPEAKER_03: Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Rollercoaster.
• 1:20:10
  SPEAKER_03: Can't heal it every day.
• 1:20:14
  SPEAKER_03: I like to roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Roll, Rollercoaster.
• 1:20:24
  SPEAKER_03: Can't give it to my every day.
• 1:20:41
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's listenable.
• 1:20:43
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 1:20:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's funny that, you know, that it's the old adage.
• 1:20:46
  SPEAKER_00: There's more than one way to skin a cat.
• 1:20:50
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it's the same same lyrics, just a different approach on each one on
• 1:20:55
  SPEAKER_02: each one.
• 1:20:57
  SPEAKER_02: Well, as you can imagine,
• 1:20:58
  SPEAKER_02: and you know this about me,
• 1:21:01
  SPEAKER_02: once I get into this a little bit, I'm like, what if I do this?
• 1:21:05
  SPEAKER_02: What if I do that?
• 1:21:07
  SPEAKER_02: So I was like, all right, well, let's try some different shit.
• 1:21:11
  SPEAKER_02: So this first one, there are these next two I'm going to share with you.
• 1:21:17
  SPEAKER_02: I told it I wanted it to sound somewhat,
• 1:21:21
  SPEAKER_02: and it's pretty hard to do with the banjo,
• 1:21:23
  SPEAKER_02: but I was like, I want this to sound sort of like 60s Motown-ish.
• 1:21:30
  SPEAKER_02: So now we're going to get the 60s Motown version of Roller Coaster.
• 1:21:36
  SPEAKER_02: So check this out.

• 1:22:10
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna do it until my dying day.

  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, my life's a roll, roll,
• 1:22:46
  SPEAKER_02: roll, roll, roll, roll.
• 1:22:49
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe it's just me.
• 1:22:49
  SPEAKER_02: I love this.
• 1:22:51
  SPEAKER_00: You think the wrecking crew played on that?
• 1:22:53
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:22:56
  SPEAKER_02: The wrecking AI crew.
• 1:22:59
  SPEAKER_02: So that's the first one.
• 1:23:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's kind of country, but it does have that doo-wop thing going on on it.

  SPEAKER_02: So here's the second one.
• 1:24:25
  SPEAKER_02: This is basically the same instructions,
• 1:24:27
  SPEAKER_02: but I told it that I wanted it to be a little more doo-wop-y,
• 1:24:32
  SPEAKER_02: which I don't think it did, but I still think it's pretty good.
• 1:24:35
  SPEAKER_02: So check it out.
• 1:24:36
  SPEAKER_02: Here's the second one of the doo-wop style.

• 1:25:16
  SPEAKER_03: Sweet little woman, yeah, she looks so fine.
• 1:25:31
  SPEAKER_02: It's like if The Temptations had a banjo player.
• 1:25:35
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
• 1:25:36
  SPEAKER_02: It's so funny.
• 1:25:37
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 1:25:39
  SPEAKER_01: But there's that one.
• 1:25:42
  SPEAKER_01: So now I really am playing around with this thing.
• 1:25:46
  SPEAKER_02: And I think this obviously lends itself to country.
• 1:25:50
  SPEAKER_02: Don't you think with the banjo?
• 1:25:52
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 1:25:54
  SPEAKER_02: So for these next two, I told it, I wanted it to be country, but I told it very specifically.
• 1:25:59
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted it to be sixties country.
• 1:26:02
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted old country, not the modern country.
• 1:26:06
  SPEAKER_00: Buck Owens and Roy Clark.
• 1:26:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 1:26:09
  SPEAKER_02: I wanted the sixties style.
• 1:26:12
  SPEAKER_02: So here is the sixties style country versions.
• 1:26:16
  SPEAKER_02: Of Rollercoaster.
• 1:26:17
  SPEAKER_01: Here's number one.

  My
• 1:26:28
  SPEAKER_03: life's a roll, roll, roll, roll, rollercoaster.
• 1:26:38
  SPEAKER_03: Can't heal it every day.
• 1:26:42
  SPEAKER_03: My life's a roll, roll.
• 1:26:45
  SPEAKER_03: Roll, rollercoaster, can't give it to me every day.
• 1:26:54
  SPEAKER_03: I gotta roll, gotta roll, I'm gonna do it until my dying day.
• 1:27:03
  SPEAKER_02: It's like Ray Stevens or something.
• 1:27:11
  SPEAKER_02: All right, so that's that one.
• 1:27:12
  SPEAKER_02: Here's one more, same style, country style of rollercoaster.
• 1:27:18
  My life's a
• 1:27:28
  SPEAKER_01: roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, rollercoaster.
• 1:27:32
  SPEAKER_01: Is that the same one?
• 1:27:34
  SPEAKER_01: Can't heal it.
• 1:27:36
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 1:27:37
  SPEAKER_01: Every day.
• 1:27:45
  SPEAKER_02: You get the idea.
• 1:27:46
  SPEAKER_02: Those two are pretty close.
• 1:27:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're very similar.
• 1:27:48
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty similar.
• 1:27:50
  SPEAKER_02: All right, well,
• 1:27:50
  SPEAKER_02: since I was doing country,
• 1:27:53
  SPEAKER_02: I was like, well, if I could do the old country, why don't I do the modern country?
• 1:27:56
  SPEAKER_02: That whole jelly roll type or Post Malone type sound.
• 1:28:01
  SPEAKER_02: So here's the modern country version.
• 1:28:03
  SPEAKER_02: I made all these different versions just because I was...
• 1:28:06
  SPEAKER_02: Fucking having fun with this.
• 1:28:07
  SPEAKER_00: It's a song that transcends time.
• 1:28:10
  SPEAKER_00: It really does.
• 1:28:11
  SPEAKER_00: Time styles everything.
• 1:28:12

• 1:31:07
  SPEAKER_01: It's amazing.

• 1:42:59
  SPEAKER_02: I was really just going to do the one hair model one.
• 1:43:02
  SPEAKER_02: And, and quite honestly,

  SPEAKER_02: and nobody,
• 1:43:05
  SPEAKER_02: nobody under,
• 1:43:06
  SPEAKER_02: nobody caught it,
• 1:43:06
  SPEAKER_02: but I had like a, I had a word misspelled in the, in the first two.
• 1:43:12
  SPEAKER_01: And so then I did two more and then I got rolling.
• 1:43:15
  SPEAKER_01: Then I was like, well, let me try country.
• 1:43:16
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let me try death metal.
• 1:43:17
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let me try extreme metal.
• 1:43:19

  SPEAKER_00: So which version did you like the best, Randy?
• 1:43:38
  SPEAKER_03: You know, every single one of them brought something cool, being dead honest with you.
• 1:43:45
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I mean, did you prefer
• 1:43:48
  SPEAKER_00: one style over the other at all?
• 1:43:52
  SPEAKER_03: That's a tough one, man.
• 1:43:53
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I'm being honest.
• 1:43:55
  SPEAKER_03: You guys know I'm not smart enough to lie.

• 1:43:59
  SPEAKER_03: Every single one of them brought something really cool.
• 1:44:01
  SPEAKER_03: So it's kind of like Chris's old magazine, Bottom Line.
• 1:44:06
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 1:44:06
  SPEAKER_03: no matter what kind of music you're into,
• 1:44:09
  SPEAKER_03: you just write a friggin' song,
• 1:44:10
  SPEAKER_03: and it's a Chris,
• 1:44:12
  SPEAKER_03: and he's gonna give it to his AI,
• 1:44:15
  SPEAKER_03: and he'll put something out that's gonna be pleasing for your ears to consume.
• 1:44:19
  SPEAKER_03: It's crazy, man.

  SPEAKER_03: I love it.
• 1:44:33
  SPEAKER_03: If I like it, I mean,
• 1:44:36
  SPEAKER_03: find someone with an actual talent and, like, start messing with their songs.
• 1:44:41
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, my God.
• 1:44:42
  SPEAKER_03: And there's possibilities.
• 1:44:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to take, I'm planning to do this.
• 1:44:49
  SPEAKER_02: I just, I got to find it.
• 1:44:51
  SPEAKER_02: I wrote a song when I was 15 years old called Steps.
• 1:44:56
  SPEAKER_02: And I still know the chorus.
• 1:44:58
  SPEAKER_02: We're all steps, steps in the ladder.
• 1:45:00
  SPEAKER_02: If we fall, it just doesn't matter.
• 1:45:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I wrote this dumb song when I was like 15 years old.
• 1:45:06
  SPEAKER_02: And I know my mom has it.
• 1:45:07
  SPEAKER_02: I got to get it.
• 1:45:09
  SPEAKER_02: And then I'm going to put that to music as well, just because...
• 1:45:14
  SPEAKER_02: I actually will probably take Scars that I did with Johnny Crash and do that.
• 1:45:21
  SPEAKER_01: Not Johnny Crash, Tommy Crash.
• 1:45:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'll probably do that.
• 1:45:32
  SPEAKER_02: Look, I know the AI is going to kill all the jobs and everything.
• 1:45:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm aware of that, but I fucking enjoy it.
• 1:45:37
  SPEAKER_02: I'm going to enjoy it.
• 1:45:39
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know, they're not doing too good on that pay-it-yourself thing at the Dollar General.
• 1:45:43
  SPEAKER_03: It fucks up all the time, and people end up having to, you know, ring me out.

  SPEAKER_03: Happy Birthday, and make a version that we can't even touch.
• 1:46:15
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's not quite there yet, but...
• 1:46:19
  SPEAKER_03: I'm just saying.
• 1:46:20
  SPEAKER_03: I can't believe I heard what I just heard.
• 1:46:22
  SPEAKER_03: It was insane.
• 1:46:25
  SPEAKER_02: See, the way it's supposed to be used,
• 1:46:28
  SPEAKER_02: you're supposed to take that and maybe grab some ideas and then take it back
• 1:46:32
  SPEAKER_02: to your band and say, this is how we need to present it.
• 1:46:35
  SPEAKER_02: Not supposed to say, well, this is the final

• 1:48:50
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, I can only imagine.
• 1:48:53
  SPEAKER_03: Is there any way I can have AI intervene?
• 1:48:56
  SPEAKER_03: It's too late.
• 1:49:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Randy,
• 1:49:00
  SPEAKER_00: since we got you on the show,
• 1:49:02
  SPEAKER_00: tell us a little bit about the cookie business and how that's going for you and
• 1:49:08
  SPEAKER_00: where people can get it and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:49:13
  SPEAKER_03: We're having a blast doing no-bake cookies.
• 1:49:16
  SPEAKER_03: If you're familiar with what they are,
• 1:49:19
  SPEAKER_03: you maybe have had chocolate,
• 1:49:21
  SPEAKER_03: peanut butter,
• 1:49:22
  SPEAKER_03: oatmeal,
• 1:49:22
  SPEAKER_03: no-bake cookies since you were a little kid, but we do a few different flavors.

  SPEAKER_03: We're in a handful of locations and we're not big time yet,
• 1:49:51
  SPEAKER_03: but we're just doing our thing and people have been pretty responsive to them
• 1:49:55
  SPEAKER_03: and it's been a lot of fun and glad to get some to you.
• 1:49:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, have you had any interest from any of the Keebler elves?
• 1:50:03
  SPEAKER_00: Have they stopped by to seek employment?
• 1:50:06
  SPEAKER_03: I'm so glad you asked, because it goes hand in hand with the tree business.
• 1:50:11
  SPEAKER_03: I have cut down tree after tree after tree,
• 1:50:13
  SPEAKER_03: and I haven't seen one of them little fuckers yet, but I am keeping a lookout.
• 1:50:17
  SPEAKER_03: And when I do, you guys will have the full exclusive interview.
• 1:50:22
  SPEAKER_02: Is that why you cut down my tree for free?
• 1:50:24
  SPEAKER_02: Because you were looking for elves?
• 1:50:27
  SPEAKER_03: I had to look.
• 1:50:27
  SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry.
• 1:50:28
  SPEAKER_03: There was a rumor that there was Ernie Wassall in the Twinsburg area.
• 1:50:33
  SPEAKER_03: And I just had to follow up on that.
• 1:50:36
  SPEAKER_03: Hey, thanks for being a team player, Mr. Aiken.

• 1:51:03
  SPEAKER_03: You know that like you need to know tomorrow's another day.
• 1:51:05
  SPEAKER_03: You got the most devoted listeners that anybody could ever imagine.

  SPEAKER_03: You guys have the most loyal listeners.
• 1:51:15
  SPEAKER_03: Bar none.
• 1:51:16
  SPEAKER_00: Bar none.
• 1:51:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think back at the first time I met you, Randy, at the Odeon watching Jackal.
• 1:51:24
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, my God.
• 1:51:25
  SPEAKER_03: Is that a trip?
• 1:51:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yep.
• 1:51:28
  SPEAKER_03: I'm still watching Jackal.
• 1:51:29
  SPEAKER_03: And Chris touched on something about all this music, how nobody expected it to last this long.
• 1:51:36
  SPEAKER_03: And here we are.
• 1:51:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:51:39
  SPEAKER_03: You know,
• 1:51:40
  SPEAKER_03: Neely was the first one to come out with Classic metal show that represented 80s
• 1:51:44
  SPEAKER_03: and 70s heavy metal.
• 1:51:48
  SPEAKER_03: And people were kind of like, what?
• 1:51:49
  SPEAKER_03: And he's like, well, it's been around for a while now.
• 1:51:53
  SPEAKER_03: And sure enough, here we are.
• 1:51:55
  SPEAKER_03: We're still going.
• 1:51:57
  SPEAKER_03: People still love what they love.
• 1:51:58
  SPEAKER_03: It's like, you know, you invent a good pizza and people like it.
• 1:52:03
  SPEAKER_03: And now they're supposed to just not like it
• 1:52:07
  SPEAKER_03: because there's more pizzas being invented than
• 1:52:10
  SPEAKER_02: All right,
• 1:52:10
  SPEAKER_02: Randy, have a good night, man.
• 1:52:12
  SPEAKER_02: It's been great talking to you.
• 1:52:14
  SPEAKER_02: He's getting all philosophical.
• 1:52:15
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no kidding.
• 1:52:16
  SPEAKER_02: You get a little too deep for this show.

• 1:53:12
  SPEAKER_02: And if you don't, you skip.
• 1:53:13
  SPEAKER_02: It's that simple.
• 1:53:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fuck you if you don't want them.
• 1:53:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't care.

  SPEAKER_02: That's what people think when they think of me.
• 1:53:40
  SPEAKER_02: I am the provider of good cheer.
• 1:53:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're a very giving person.
• 1:53:45
  SPEAKER_00: I really am.
• 1:53:46
  SPEAKER_02: People don't realize just how giving I am.
• 1:53:51
  SPEAKER_00: You certainly are, sir.
• 1:53:55
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:53:55

  SPEAKER_00: Yes.

  SPEAKER_00: Might as well jump back into the tunage.
• 1:54:05
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 1:54:06
  SPEAKER_00: I think so.
• 1:54:07
  SPEAKER_00: I got a request here for some Slayer.

  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:54:12
  SPEAKER_00: And who wants this?

  SPEAKER_00: We are.
• 1:56:39
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:56:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, since we did some goofy shit in the last segment,
• 1:56:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure we'll be doing some music stuff now.
• 1:56:45
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 1:56:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we'll get to that.
• 1:56:48
  SPEAKER_01: I do want to bring this one thing up,
• 1:56:50
  SPEAKER_01: and I don't know if you know this guy or not,
• 1:56:52
  SPEAKER_01: and quite honestly,
• 1:56:54
  SPEAKER_01: we almost never do these,
• 1:56:57
  SPEAKER_01: but I do want to at least bring attention to this because I do know this guy
• 1:57:02
  SPEAKER_01: a little bit, and he's a good dude.
• 1:57:04
  SPEAKER_01: Do you know who Dom Larson is?
• 1:57:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he used to do that metal thing.
• 1:57:13
  SPEAKER_01: He writes for Metal Hammer.
• 1:57:16
  SPEAKER_01: He writes for Blabbermouth.
• 1:57:17
  SPEAKER_01: He writes for a bunch of things.
• 1:57:19
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let me put this up.
• 1:57:22
  SPEAKER_01: He was at the Bloodstock Fest, and he had a heart attack.
• 1:57:27
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 1:57:27
  SPEAKER_01: And he's not doing great.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 1:57:31
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't know him real well, but I've interacted with him.
• 1:57:38
  SPEAKER_01: And he's a good dude.
• 1:57:42
  SPEAKER_01: He's one of us.
• 1:57:44
  SPEAKER_01: And in a rare moment on this show,
• 1:57:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to at least ask people if they give a fuck about people that are like us,
• 1:57:53
  SPEAKER_01: that love the metal and support it and put their energy and their time into it.
• 1:57:59
  SPEAKER_01: If you can help out, help out.
• 1:58:00
  SPEAKER_01: Not saying you have to, not saying you should.
• 1:58:03
  SPEAKER_01: Just if you can, look up Dom Larson on GoFundMe.com.
• 1:58:08
  SPEAKER_01: And throw a buck or two or five or like this guy here a grand.
• 1:58:12
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
• 1:58:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 1:58:13
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying do that,
• 1:58:14
  SPEAKER_01: but every bit helps when you're dealing with no insurance, every bit helps.
• 1:58:20
  SPEAKER_01: So if you can help out, please do.
• 1:58:23
  SPEAKER_01: And that's all I'll say about that.
• 1:58:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to get into the whole thing, but that's that.
• 1:58:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's got to be one of the worst things.
• 1:58:32
  SPEAKER_00: You know, not as if the heart attack isn't bad enough, but to be at an event...
• 1:58:39
  SPEAKER_00: And have a heart attack at the event.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:58:42
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, how do you,
• 1:58:43
  SPEAKER_01: especially if you're like close in the pit or something,
• 1:58:45
  SPEAKER_01: how do you even tell people?
• 1:58:46
  SPEAKER_00: You know,
• 1:58:47
  SPEAKER_00: how can medical assistance be rendered to you,
• 1:58:51
  SPEAKER_00: especially if it's a big festival type situation?
• 1:58:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's just like, you know, just not good.
• 1:58:58
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 1:58:59
  SPEAKER_01: How is it that I knew that if I put this up immediately,
• 1:59:03
  SPEAKER_01: somebody would be in there going, Dom's a fucking cunt.
• 1:59:05
  SPEAKER_01: And sure as shit, welcome to the chat, Professor Tor.
• 1:59:13
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, again, don't throw any money his way if you think that or whatever.
• 1:59:19
  SPEAKER_00: Do it if you want to.
• 1:59:22
  SPEAKER_00: Don't do it if you don't want to.
• 1:59:24
  SPEAKER_01: And that's why I did this in like under five minutes.
• 1:59:27
  SPEAKER_01: Because I just know you can't talk about anything without somebody being an asshole.
• 1:59:30
  SPEAKER_01: So whatever.
• 1:59:32
  SPEAKER_01: I get along with Dom Larson.
• 1:59:33
  SPEAKER_01: I hope he's okay.
• 1:59:36
  SPEAKER_01: I have thrown in a couple of bucks.
• 1:59:38
  SPEAKER_01: If you can, go ahead.
• 1:59:40
  SPEAKER_01: If you can't, don't.
• 1:59:42
  SPEAKER_01: If he's a cunt, do not.
• 1:59:44
  SPEAKER_01: Simple as that.
• 1:59:46
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's move forward, shall we?
• 1:59:51
  SPEAKER_01: One of our favorites is, of course, Plush.
• 1:59:55
  SPEAKER_01: We've known Mariah since before Plush.
• 1:59:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:59:58
  SPEAKER_01: We've known Mariah for a while.
• 2:00:01
  SPEAKER_01: They are back with a new full-length record.
• 2:00:04
  SPEAKER_01: Comes out on September 18th.
• 2:00:07
  SPEAKER_01: They released the first single called Animalistic.
• 2:00:12
  SPEAKER_01: I've been watching it, you know, kind of from afar and seeing how it's doing.
• 2:00:17
  SPEAKER_01: Doesn't seem to be doing that well.
• 2:00:19
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this is one of those bands, and we talked about this.
• 2:00:25
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they had the benefit of...
• 2:00:30
  SPEAKER_00: Buying on to various opening slots for quite a few different people.
• 2:00:36
  SPEAKER_00: And they just aren't catching fire.
• 2:00:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:00:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there's a couple reasons why I think they have not caught fire.
• 2:00:46
  SPEAKER_01: That is one of them.
• 2:00:47
  SPEAKER_01: The other one is way too long between music.
• 2:00:51
  SPEAKER_01: Way too long.
• 2:00:53
  SPEAKER_01: They put out the EP, I think, in 2024.
• 2:00:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:00:58
  SPEAKER_01: And they've put out one song since.
• 2:01:01
  SPEAKER_01: So since the debut, which came out in 2021, they've put out seven songs in five years.
• 2:01:09
  SPEAKER_01: You can't do that as a young band.
• 2:01:12
  SPEAKER_01: You just can't do that.
• 2:01:13
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta be, you know, you gotta be more aggressive.
• 2:01:17
  SPEAKER_01: The other thing that I think has been a problem up to this point,
• 2:01:20
  SPEAKER_01: in my opinion, is that they were catering to the old geezers.
• 2:01:25
  SPEAKER_01: You know, their music, musically...
• 2:01:28
  SPEAKER_01: There's no denying their talent.
• 2:01:29
  SPEAKER_01: There's no denying Mariah's talent.
• 2:01:32
  SPEAKER_01: If you deny her talent, it's because your fucking ears do not work.
• 2:01:35
  SPEAKER_01: The girl can sing.
• 2:01:38
  SPEAKER_01: And play.
• 2:01:39
  SPEAKER_02: And play guitar.
• 2:01:40
  SPEAKER_02: That being said,
• 2:01:41
  SPEAKER_02: they should really,
• 2:01:43
  SPEAKER_01: really not be doing Kiss covers and Alice in Chains covers and Nirvana covers
• 2:01:51
  SPEAKER_01: and Heart covers.
• 2:01:53
  SPEAKER_01: They should be doing Korn covers, Hailstorm covers.
• 2:01:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know, more today music.
• 2:02:02
  SPEAKER_02: You know, because they're trying to be a band today.
• 2:02:06
  SPEAKER_01: Now, they did with this new song.
• 2:02:10
  SPEAKER_01: I think they've kind of been listening to the press a lot.
• 2:02:16
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that,
• 2:02:17
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:02:18
  SPEAKER_01: they're trying to cater more that way as far as trying to be a little more modern.
• 2:02:23
  SPEAKER_01: Because this new song has absolutely no guitar solo in it.
• 2:02:27
  SPEAKER_01: And it...
• 2:02:28
  SPEAKER_01: It really sounds sort of like if the warning and disturbed had a writing session,
• 2:02:33
  SPEAKER_01: it's what you'd get.
• 2:02:35
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe a little white zombie in it as well, but we'll play some of it.
• 2:02:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's no video yet.
• 2:02:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's a whole nother thing.
• 2:02:42
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 2:02:44
  SPEAKER_01: how do you,
• 2:02:44
  SPEAKER_01: how do you first song and first song of an album and you don't come out with
• 2:02:50
  SPEAKER_01: a lyric video
• 2:02:53
  SPEAKER_02: or something, you know, and they're, and they're on tour.
• 2:02:58
  SPEAKER_01: They've been playing, they played four songs,
• 2:02:59
  SPEAKER_01: four new ones the other night, which I listened to and they sound cool.
• 2:03:04
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, the new songs sound okay, but I don't know.
• 2:03:08
  SPEAKER_01: I like this song a lot, but it's not getting, like right now it was released Friday at midnight.
• 2:03:16
  SPEAKER_01: So that's basically two days because we're at Sunday at one o'clock.
• 2:03:20
  SPEAKER_01: So that's 49 hours.
• 2:03:22
  SPEAKER_01: It has 5,500 plays.
• 2:03:26
  SPEAKER_01: On the official channel, 5,500 plays.
• 2:03:30
  SPEAKER_01: That's not going to cut it.
• 2:03:33
  SPEAKER_00: Is it?
• 2:03:35
  SPEAKER_00: Well, again, I don't understand.
• 2:03:37
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I can't say I don't understand.
• 2:03:39
  SPEAKER_00: I do understand it.
• 2:03:40
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't know what is considered popular now.
• 2:03:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, the warning is...
• 2:03:50
  SPEAKER_02: I would say the warning is their sister band or...
• 2:03:55
  SPEAKER_02: You know, who they want to be.
• 2:03:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they're akin to that style.
• 2:04:00
  SPEAKER_01: Let me just look up the warning real quick.
• 2:04:03
  SPEAKER_01: The warning.
• 2:04:05
  SPEAKER_01: And we'll see what their latest video has.
• 2:04:09
  SPEAKER_01: Their latest video, which was released 11 days ago, has 21,000.
• 2:04:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's just a teaser.
• 2:04:20
  SPEAKER_01: Let me find an actual song.
• 2:04:23
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 2:04:23
  SPEAKER_01: This one was released two weeks ago, the song Ritual.
• 2:04:28
  SPEAKER_01: 364,000 two weeks ago, 14 days ago.
• 2:04:31
  SPEAKER_00: So they don't even have a half a million.
• 2:04:35
  SPEAKER_02: They don't, but they have 300,000 in 14 days.
• 2:04:39
  SPEAKER_02: Plush has 5,000
• 2:04:41
  SPEAKER_01: in two days.
• 2:04:43
  SPEAKER_01: So if you multiply that by seven, five times seven, 35,000 plays.
• 2:04:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's like one-tenth.
• 2:04:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I think that's an indicator.
• 2:04:55
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, I want to be very wrong on this.
• 2:04:59
  SPEAKER_01: I really do.
• 2:05:00
  SPEAKER_01: Because
• 2:05:03
  SPEAKER_02: obviously I know Mariah and we interact and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 2:05:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm friends with the label owner as well.
• 2:05:10
  SPEAKER_01: Me and Tim King message all the time,
• 2:05:12
  SPEAKER_01: mostly about death metal because he's in that band Embryonic Autopsy.
• 2:05:16
  SPEAKER_01: So he's constantly throwing me bands and I'm constantly throwing him bands.
• 2:05:20
  SPEAKER_01: But But we're friends.
• 2:05:21
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 2:05:23
  SPEAKER_01: because I'm friends with them and I'm friends with Mariah and I,
• 2:05:26
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:05:26
  SPEAKER_01: I know Faith and Ashley a little tiny bit,
• 2:05:29
  SPEAKER_01: you know, I would very much like to see them do well.
• 2:05:33
  SPEAKER_01: And I hope they do.
• 2:05:35
  SPEAKER_00: So they're striking out as a three piece now?
• 2:05:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 2:05:38
  SPEAKER_01: Which again, that's a whole nother.
• 2:05:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure that that works for the warning because they're sisters.
• 2:05:46
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't lend to a great stage show.
• 2:05:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 2:05:53
  SPEAKER_01: Mariah, by being a guitar player and a singer and not using a headpiece,
• 2:05:58
  SPEAKER_01: is kind of stuck in one spot for the whole show.
• 2:06:03
  SPEAKER_01: Hey, metalheads!

  SPEAKER_01: so you really only have one player that can move around a ton.
• 2:06:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 2:06:45
  SPEAKER_01: And that's kind of...
• 2:06:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I guess that worked for Motorhead, but I don't think these girls are Motorhead.
• 2:06:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:06:53
  SPEAKER_00: Or Rush.
• 2:06:54
  SPEAKER_01: Or Rush.
• 2:06:55
  SPEAKER_01: But Rush moves around too.
• 2:06:57
  SPEAKER_01: They, you know,
• 2:06:59
  SPEAKER_01: if Plush wanted to do themselves a favor,
• 2:07:00
  SPEAKER_01: they'd set up multiple,
• 2:07:02
  SPEAKER_01: they'd go Metallica style and set up like six microphones across the stage
• 2:07:05
  SPEAKER_01: or something so the Mariah could move around.
• 2:07:09
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 2:07:10
  SPEAKER_01: move around and get a little more energy going,
• 2:07:13
  SPEAKER_01: get the crowd more into it and get more going on, but.
• 2:07:17
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 2:07:21
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, we'll play some of the song.
• 2:07:22
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see what you think.
• 2:07:25
  SPEAKER_01: I personally really enjoy it.
• 2:07:27
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's okay.
• 2:07:29
  SPEAKER_01: I love the chorus.
• 2:07:32
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever the producer is,
• 2:07:33
  SPEAKER_01: and let me see who the producer is,
• 2:07:35
  SPEAKER_01: because I'm going to call them out no matter who it is.
• 2:07:39
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, Mariah's one of them.
• 2:07:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 2:07:41
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to call Mariah out then, I guess.
• 2:07:44
  SPEAKER_01: Whoever made the decision to put an effect on her voice needs to be shot.
• 2:07:49
  SPEAKER_00: The fucky effect.
• 2:07:51
  SPEAKER_01: The fucky effect on her voice.
• 2:07:54
  SPEAKER_01: That is a voice that does not need an effect.
• 2:07:57
  SPEAKER_01: That is as strong a voice as there is, and they put the fucking effect on it.
• 2:08:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, what are you doing?
• 2:08:03
  SPEAKER_01: So, all right, well, anyway, this is Animalistic.
• 2:08:07
  SPEAKER_01: It is the first single from Mass Hysteria from Plush.
• 2:08:10
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 2:08:32
  SPEAKER_03: I want you not to get too close.
• 2:08:33
  SPEAKER_03: There's some things I can't control.
• 2:08:35
  SPEAKER_03: Backed in the cold, about to strike.
• 2:08:38
  SPEAKER_03: It lives inside of me.
• 2:08:40
  Can't hide, can't hide the instinct.
• 2:08:43
  Do what I need to survive.
• 2:08:45
  SPEAKER_03: Out of room, outsmart the enemy.
• 2:08:51
  SPEAKER_03: Wake up the primitive mind.
• 2:09:22
  SPEAKER_00: Thoughts?
• 2:09:24
  SPEAKER_00: Not liking the whole distorted thing.
• 2:09:26
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like that either.
• 2:09:28
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not a fan of that.
• 2:09:30
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like it for anybody.
• 2:09:33
  SPEAKER_00: But to play the entire song through a whole filter, it's just not my thing.
• 2:09:39
  SPEAKER_00: I don't like that.
• 2:09:41
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, there's two ways you can look at it.
• 2:09:45
  SPEAKER_01: You can definitely look at it that way.
• 2:09:47
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm sort of with you on that.
• 2:09:50
  SPEAKER_01: I also see what they're trying to do is not sound like a Geriatric band anymore.
• 2:09:56
  SPEAKER_01: And they're trying to update the sound to, you know, today's standard.
• 2:10:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, the Warning do that all the time.
• 2:10:05
  SPEAKER_01: I guess I'm just comparing them straight up to the Warning.
• 2:10:07
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, Evanescence as well does the same type of stuff.
• 2:10:14
  SPEAKER_01: I think the chorus is catchy.
• 2:10:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean,
• 2:10:17
  SPEAKER_00: the song sounds good,
• 2:10:18
  SPEAKER_00: but I just don't like playing the entire song through the distortion.
• 2:10:24
  SPEAKER_01: It's way overproduced.
• 2:10:26
  SPEAKER_01: And that has been what a lot of the comments have been.
• 2:10:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like, this is way overproduced.
• 2:10:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm hoping the rest of the record isn't like this.
• 2:10:35
  SPEAKER_01: But as far as the production sound, I like the song, though.
• 2:10:40
  SPEAKER_01: And I've watched them.
• 2:10:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I watched a few of the videos.
• 2:10:43
  SPEAKER_01: They've been out on tour since Friday as well.
• 2:10:45
  SPEAKER_01: So a few of the songs have popped up on YouTube.
• 2:10:48
  SPEAKER_01: And this song sounds a lot better without all the bullshit on it.
• 2:10:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:10:53
  SPEAKER_01: Where they're just playing.
• 2:10:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's just a big, loud, noisy song now.
• 2:10:57
  SPEAKER_00: Live.
• 2:10:58
  SPEAKER_00: When the song started, I thought they'd start out with the distortion and then break out clean.
• 2:11:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, break into clean, but they don't.
• 2:11:05
  SPEAKER_01: You know what this reminds me of?
• 2:11:09
  SPEAKER_01: Red Rain, Not That Way 3.0.
• 2:11:13
  SPEAKER_01: Remember how much we liked the early versions?
• 2:11:15
  SPEAKER_01: And then they worked with, what's his name?
• 2:11:18
  SPEAKER_01: David Bendeth.
• 2:11:19
  SPEAKER_00: David Ivory.
• 2:11:20
  SPEAKER_01: David Ivory.
• 2:11:23
  SPEAKER_02: And it was like so clean and so manipulated.
• 2:11:28
  SPEAKER_02: And we both were like, what is that?
• 2:11:32
  SPEAKER_01: That's polished.
• 2:11:33
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:11:35
  SPEAKER_01: You're a rock band.
• 2:11:36
  SPEAKER_01: You don't need that much polish.
• 2:11:38
  SPEAKER_01: All right, let's play a little more.
• 2:11:40
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 2:11:53
  SPEAKER_01: Is it me or is that beat just more human than human?
• 2:11:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's a beat.
• 2:11:57
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 2:12:10
  SPEAKER_03: And feed my appetite.
• 2:12:11
  SPEAKER_03: Can't hide, can't hide the instinct.
• 2:12:15
  SPEAKER_03: Do what I need to survive.
• 2:12:17
  SPEAKER_03: I'll run, I'll smoke the enemy.
• 2:12:19
  SPEAKER_03: Wake up the primitive mind.
• 2:12:22
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm molested, my teeth sinking in.
• 2:12:28
  SPEAKER_03: Can't hold the twisted, I'm shedding my skin.
• 2:12:31
  SPEAKER_03: More
• 2:12:42
  SPEAKER_01: of the filter.
• 2:13:13
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of shit going on there.
• 2:13:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's a very noisy song.
• 2:13:17
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 2:13:20
  SPEAKER_01: And there's all kinds of stuff.
• 2:13:22
  SPEAKER_01: There's a guitar lead and an under riff and a filter and some different weird beats going on.
• 2:13:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's a lot going on with this thing.
• 2:13:33
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I like it personally.
• 2:13:34
  SPEAKER_01: I've played it a bunch of times.
• 2:13:36
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm sure our guy Four Heady Trunk has fucking jerked his dick
• 2:13:39
  SPEAKER_01: to it 3,000 times already because he loves plush.
• 2:13:42
  SPEAKER_01: But
• 2:13:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay.
• 2:13:46
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's great.
• 2:13:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think this one and why the one that they did with Disturbed Guy was kind of took them.
• 2:13:58
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's where they're trying to get to as far as getting modern,
• 2:14:02
  SPEAKER_01: but they're just not there yet.
• 2:14:07
  SPEAKER_01: Do they need another guitar player?
• 2:14:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's the real question.
• 2:14:11
  SPEAKER_01: Because as you can hear with this,
• 2:14:13
  SPEAKER_01: there's not really a big guitar solo,
• 2:14:15
  SPEAKER_01: and I wonder if they do that because that makes it more difficult to play live.
• 2:14:21
  SPEAKER_00: Well, it's hard to tell if they gear an album toward what they'll do live with it.
• 2:14:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:14:30
  SPEAKER_01: I know Mariah prides herself on being a live musician, so.
• 2:14:35
  SPEAKER_01: I would think,
• 2:14:36
  SPEAKER_01: and again,
• 2:14:37
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know,
• 2:14:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure I'll knock down an interview here in the next month or so,
• 2:14:41
  SPEAKER_01: and I'll definitely be asking,
• 2:14:44
  SPEAKER_01: but I'm sure if they can't play it live, then she doesn't want to do it.
• 2:14:51
  SPEAKER_01: I'm almost positive of that with her,
• 2:14:54
  SPEAKER_01: that if it can't translate to the stage, she doesn't want to do it.
• 2:15:00
  SPEAKER_01: But herein lies the problem I see.
• 2:15:03
  SPEAKER_01: So they're playing this song live,
• 2:15:06
  SPEAKER_01: and in the same set, they're playing Heavens on Fire, the Kiss tune.
• 2:15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 2:15:13
  SPEAKER_01: That don't work.
• 2:15:15
  SPEAKER_01: You know, that doesn't work.
• 2:15:18
  SPEAKER_01: They got to...
• 2:15:19
  SPEAKER_01: Someone in their camp, Mariah,
• 2:15:22
  SPEAKER_01: her dad, Ashley,
• 2:15:25
  SPEAKER_01: Faith, whoever, someone in their camp needs to decide what they're going to be.
• 2:15:31
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 2:15:31
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think you can be a...
• 2:15:34
  SPEAKER_02: 2026 modern band that also is doing Barracuda on
• 2:15:40
  SPEAKER_01: every show that you ever play.
• 2:15:41
  SPEAKER_01: You see what I mean?
• 2:15:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:15:43
  SPEAKER_01: It just doesn't make sense.
• 2:15:46
  SPEAKER_01: You either want these geriat, because right now their audience is all guys my age.
• 2:15:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, even when you see the audience at these shows, they're old.
• 2:15:55
  SPEAKER_01: There's not a ton of kids.
• 2:15:57
  SPEAKER_01: There's not like 22, 24 year old kids at these shows.
• 2:16:01
  SPEAKER_01: They're all 50-year-old guys
• 2:16:03
  SPEAKER_01: that are getting hard dicks watching hot chicks jump around on stage.
• 2:16:12
  SPEAKER_01: And if you watch the same,
• 2:16:14
  SPEAKER_01: as weird as it is,
• 2:16:15
  SPEAKER_01: even though they went after us and tried to get our channel canceled and all
• 2:16:19
  SPEAKER_01: that other shit,
• 2:16:20
  SPEAKER_01: I've been kind of immersing myself a little more into The Warning lately,
• 2:16:24
  SPEAKER_01: watching a lot of their stuff.
• 2:16:26
  SPEAKER_02: And while I don't love what they're doing, I understand what they're doing.
• 2:16:30
  SPEAKER_02: And...
• 2:16:31
  SPEAKER_02: Certainly they've grabbed that audience.
• 2:16:34
  SPEAKER_01: Their audience, you don't see any graybeards in their audience.
• 2:16:38
  SPEAKER_01: It's all 20-somethings.
• 2:16:40
  SPEAKER_01: And that's how it should be for a young band, don't you think?
• 2:16:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, they didn't start off playing 70s and 80s covers either.
• 2:16:49
  SPEAKER_01: True, that's true.
• 2:16:51
  SPEAKER_01: And I just wonder if Mariah doesn't know how to pivot that way.
• 2:16:55
  SPEAKER_01: Or if she doesn't want to fully pivot that way because she also has to go back to TSO.
• 2:17:01
  SPEAKER_01: Which is all guys from the 80s.
• 2:17:05
  SPEAKER_00: And that might be her passion too.
• 2:17:07
  SPEAKER_00: Because obviously when we had her on the show.
• 2:17:11
  SPEAKER_00: And the fact that she covered Kicks.
• 2:17:13
  SPEAKER_00: And she covered Steelheart.
• 2:17:15
  SPEAKER_00: She covered Dokken.
• 2:17:16
  SPEAKER_00: And she covered Dio.
• 2:17:21
  SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of like where her passion lies.
• 2:17:24
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously.
• 2:17:25
  SPEAKER_00: Because she does the songs well.
• 2:17:27
  SPEAKER_00: And you can tell that she enjoys those songs.
• 2:17:31
  SPEAKER_00: Those type of songs.
• 2:17:33
  SPEAKER_00: So you got to wonder if that's where her, you know, her main passion lies.
• 2:17:40
  SPEAKER_00: And then the more modern stuff is just something to put them on a map somehow.
• 2:17:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:17:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like they use the modern songs just to get on the radio or whatever.
• 2:17:51
  SPEAKER_01: Because they did.
• 2:17:52
  SPEAKER_01: This song debuted on Octane, Serious.
• 2:17:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it'll chart.
• 2:17:57
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's...
• 2:17:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's so written for radio,
• 2:18:01
  SPEAKER_01: it ain't even funny,
• 2:18:02
  SPEAKER_01: not that radio has a whole lot of impact anymore,
• 2:18:05
  SPEAKER_01: but I mean,
• 2:18:05
  SPEAKER_01: just the sound of it,
• 2:18:06
  SPEAKER_01: the structure,
• 2:18:07
  SPEAKER_01: the big hook,
• 2:18:09
  SPEAKER_01: it's three minutes and eight seconds long,
• 2:18:11
  SPEAKER_01: which you know a program director loves to death.
• 2:18:14
  SPEAKER_01: Anything under three and a half, program directors love that shit.
• 2:18:18
  SPEAKER_01: So, I don't know.
• 2:18:23
  SPEAKER_01: I wish I was more excited about this one than I am, this song.
• 2:18:27
  SPEAKER_01: Because I was praying,
• 2:18:28
  SPEAKER_01: I was hoping I was going to hear it and I was going to be like, yeah, I love it.
• 2:18:31
  SPEAKER_01: And I do like it.
• 2:18:33
  SPEAKER_01: I hope that's coming across that I like the song.
• 2:18:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't love the song.
• 2:18:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think they have better songs on there or other stuff.
• 2:18:39
  SPEAKER_01: But, you know, it is what it is, I guess.
• 2:18:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I'm looking at the chat here.
• 2:18:50
  SPEAKER_01: Missing Bella's solos.
• 2:18:52
  SPEAKER_01: I think the problem is Mariah just ain't that hot.
• 2:18:57
  SPEAKER_01: There's plenty of old fucks in the Warnings fan base.
• 2:18:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:19:01
  SPEAKER_01: They're just outnumbered by the young 12.
• 2:19:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that would be okay too.
• 2:19:05
  SPEAKER_01: If Plush's audience was 60-40 and the 60 was people their age,
• 2:19:11
  SPEAKER_01: I think they would be a hell of a lot farther than they are.
• 2:19:15
  SPEAKER_01: I really do.
• 2:19:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think they would be.
• 2:19:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to be anxious to see if they get,
• 2:19:21
  SPEAKER_01: from what I've heard,
• 2:19:22
  SPEAKER_01: and I don't know this to be true,
• 2:19:23
  SPEAKER_01: but what I've heard is Their contract with Pavement ends in next year.
• 2:19:30
  SPEAKER_01: And they may just renew.
• 2:19:31
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
• 2:19:32
  SPEAKER_01: I know that they loved him.
• 2:19:34
  SPEAKER_02: But you know a band like this is going to get
• 2:19:40
  SPEAKER_01: the Jason Flombs of the world
• 2:19:42
  SPEAKER_01: that are going to come out and say,
• 2:19:43
  SPEAKER_01: hey, well, we can do this that Pavement couldn't do.
• 2:19:47
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, just come on over here and look at what we did with the warning and, you know.
• 2:19:52
  SPEAKER_01: You know that's going to happen at some point at some of these shows.
• 2:19:57
  SPEAKER_01: You've been around the business to know that happens a lot.
• 2:20:00
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if they're able to get interest from other,
• 2:20:07
  SPEAKER_00: for lack of a better term, labels these days, that's a compliment.
• 2:20:13
  SPEAKER_00: But if a label doesn't see them as being a valuable commodity,
• 2:20:18
  SPEAKER_00: they're not going to approach them for You know, to sign them to make a deal.
• 2:20:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:20:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think a label would probably look and know that they,
• 2:20:27
  SPEAKER_01: because they do have, they continue to have a lot of buzz on them.
• 2:20:31
  SPEAKER_01: Even though the songs have not, you know, skyrocketed them.
• 2:20:36
  SPEAKER_01: There's a lot of buzz on them.
• 2:20:39
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
• 2:20:41
  SPEAKER_01: I watch from afar because,
• 2:20:43
  SPEAKER_01: you know, as I've said a bunch of times, I'm friendly with quite a bit of this camp.
• 2:20:49
  SPEAKER_01: So I really don't want to blow that up by being an asshole.
• 2:20:53
  SPEAKER_01: But I mean, sometimes I see things with what they're doing.
• 2:20:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like, what are you guys fucking doing?
• 2:20:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm just thinking it to myself.
• 2:21:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'll say it here.
• 2:21:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'll give you a perfect example.
• 2:21:05
  SPEAKER_01: Last night, I think it was last night.
• 2:21:09
  SPEAKER_01: Sometime, I think they've played three gigs.
• 2:21:12
  SPEAKER_01: And one of the gigs is in some club that is an old church.
• 2:21:21
  SPEAKER_02: And it looks like the church.
• 2:21:23
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it doesn't look like it's been renovated and turned into a rock club.
• 2:21:27
  SPEAKER_02: It looks like a church.
• 2:21:29
  SPEAKER_01: And I know the whole deal about how many rock clubs have closed and this and that,
• 2:21:34
  SPEAKER_01: and you got to play where the gig is, and if they're paying, you go.
• 2:21:37
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I get all of that.
• 2:21:40
  SPEAKER_01: But in the YouTube age, and it looks like you're playing a church hoedown, that's a bad look.
• 2:21:47
  SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
• 2:21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Let me find it.
• 2:21:50
  SPEAKER_01: Let me find the video real quick.
• 2:21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 2:21:55
  SPEAKER_01: You tell me if maybe I'm making stuff up.
• 2:21:58
  SPEAKER_01: I could be.
• 2:21:59
  SPEAKER_01: Because, again, I have sort of an interest in this.
• 2:22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Well, who were they playing with?
• 2:22:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're the headliner.
• 2:22:06
  SPEAKER_00: They're the headliner.
• 2:22:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's them and this band Major Moment.
• 2:22:09
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:22:12
  SPEAKER_01: I don't have as many nice things to say about them.
• 2:22:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't like them at all, but let's see here.
• 2:22:17
  SPEAKER_01: Plush Church 2026.
• 2:22:20
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see if I can't find.
• 2:22:24
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, look.
• 2:22:25
  SPEAKER_01: Look at this.
• 2:22:31
  SPEAKER_01: This is one of the new songs, too.
• 2:22:34
  SPEAKER_01: This is the title track.
• 2:22:36
  SPEAKER_01: But look at the... And again, I know it doesn't matter, but it kind of does.
• 2:22:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:22:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, they're just playing.
• 2:22:47
  SPEAKER_00: Again, this makes them look like a local garage band.
• 2:22:51
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 2:22:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, I don't blame them.
• 2:22:55
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, if this is truly a rock club now, you play where there's a club.
• 2:23:00
  SPEAKER_01: And certainly COVID fucked me.
• 2:23:03
  SPEAKER_01: So many rock clubs that closed.
• 2:23:05
  SPEAKER_01: So this might be what's available in whatever city this was.
• 2:23:08
  SPEAKER_01: Newburgh?
• 2:23:09
  SPEAKER_01: Is that New York?
• 2:23:10
  SPEAKER_01: Newburgh, New York?
• 2:23:11
  SPEAKER_00: Newburgh, New York.
• 2:23:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's up on the New York Thruway.
• 2:23:15
  SPEAKER_01: So it's not exactly a haven for music anyway.
• 2:23:20
  SPEAKER_01: Here, I'll play a little bit.
• 2:23:21
  SPEAKER_01: You tell me the song is fine,
• 2:23:23
  SPEAKER_01: but the ambiance is like,
• 2:23:26
  SPEAKER_01: all right, well,
• 2:23:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm waiting for somebody to come up and stick a wafer in their mouth or something.
• 2:23:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:23:33
  SPEAKER_01: You know,
• 2:23:40
  SPEAKER_03: there we go.
• 2:24:02
  SPEAKER_01: And the song is fine.
• 2:24:04
  SPEAKER_01: The ambiance is, like you said, local band.
• 2:24:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:24:09
  SPEAKER_00: And what's this bassist name?
• 2:24:12
  SPEAKER_01: Ashley.
• 2:24:13
  SPEAKER_00: She's got to lose that sweater top.
• 2:24:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's kind of weird for her.
• 2:24:20
  SPEAKER_01: What the hell is she wearing?
• 2:24:21
  SPEAKER_01: She's usually the fashion one, too, of the three of them.
• 2:24:24
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what that's about.
• 2:24:26
  SPEAKER_00: What is this?
• 2:24:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 2:24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's cold there.
• 2:24:28
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
• 2:24:28
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know, Mariah,
• 2:24:29
  SPEAKER_00: she's decked out in her leathers and she looks like she's going to like some kind of
• 2:24:34
  SPEAKER_00: a, you know, high school football game or something.
• 2:24:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:24:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I hope they do well.
• 2:24:42
  SPEAKER_01: I really do.
• 2:24:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm looking forward to getting the album here in the next week or so and checking it out.
• 2:24:47
  SPEAKER_00: And the other thing as far as the marketing,
• 2:24:50
  SPEAKER_00: and we talked about this other, they don't have a cohesive look.
• 2:24:54
  SPEAKER_02: They're getting better at that.
• 2:24:56
  SPEAKER_02: This is a terrible
• 2:24:57
  SPEAKER_00: example of it.
• 2:24:58
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm not talking specifically about this.
• 2:25:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:25:02
  SPEAKER_00: But they just don't have an identity.
• 2:25:05
  SPEAKER_02: You know what
• 2:25:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean?
• 2:25:06
  SPEAKER_00: They don't have a look about them.
• 2:25:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:25:09
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, they probably should.
• 2:25:13
  SPEAKER_02: And again, I go back to the warning.
• 2:25:15
  SPEAKER_01: The warning is doing everything pretty much right.
• 2:25:19
  SPEAKER_01: When one of them is wearing white, they're all wearing white.
• 2:25:23
  SPEAKER_01: They bounce between white, red, and black.
• 2:25:29
  SPEAKER_01: But they're coordinated.
• 2:25:31
  SPEAKER_01: And they do have a look.
• 2:25:34
  SPEAKER_01: And I mean, where's my, let me find the plush.
• 2:25:39
  SPEAKER_01: Let me find the Blabbermouth story.
• 2:25:42
  SPEAKER_01: Because in that regard, they are sort of putting a look together, I guess, sort of.
• 2:25:52
  SPEAKER_00: But it should be a coordinated thing,
• 2:25:56
  SPEAKER_00: you know, because with anything, identity, see, that's a lot.
• 2:26:02
  SPEAKER_00: That works.
• 2:26:04
  SPEAKER_00: That works.
• 2:26:05
  SPEAKER_02: They should be wearing that shit on stage, even if they wear it every night on stage.
• 2:26:11
  SPEAKER_02: If that's all they got, that's what they should be wearing.
• 2:26:15
  SPEAKER_02: I agree with you on that, because that looks like a band.
• 2:26:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:26:21
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like these fucking chick marauders are coming into my town.
• 2:26:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I agree with you, you know, but they don't always do that for some reason.
• 2:26:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know why.
• 2:26:36
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if it's that whole, we're trying to, we don't need the man, we don't need the look.
• 2:26:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, but the thing is, is people can identify you by your, you know, by your look.
• 2:26:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:26:53
  SPEAKER_00: Instead, when the YouTube videos are out there and they're all dressed differently.
• 2:26:59
  SPEAKER_01: All dressed differently and playing in a church.
• 2:27:01
  SPEAKER_00: And it's just like, okay, this is just sort of like some local band.
• 2:27:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it doesn't feel bigger.
• 2:27:11
  SPEAKER_02: And that's what a band is.
• 2:27:13
  SPEAKER_02: When you're paying money to see a show, they're supposed to be bigger than you.
• 2:27:18
  SPEAKER_01: And you're right.
• 2:27:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're not doing that consistently enough.
• 2:27:23
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe they'll get into it once they get further in the tour.
• 2:27:27
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 2:27:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but the thing is, time's running out
• 2:27:31
  SPEAKER_01: here.
• 2:27:33
  SPEAKER_00: That window is about closed.
• 2:27:35
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I've seen a bunch of that with people on Reddit and stuff saying it's too late already.
• 2:27:40
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of people are saying it more because they waited so long between music.
• 2:27:46
  SPEAKER_01: They just let it die.
• 2:27:51
  SPEAKER_01: You know, with six songs or seven songs, whatever, in five years.
• 2:27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, my prediction is if this doesn't do anything for them, this band's over.
• 2:27:59
  SPEAKER_01: This album?
• 2:28:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:28:01
  SPEAKER_01: Could be.
• 2:28:03
  SPEAKER_01: I said that's my prediction.
• 2:28:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:28:07
  SPEAKER_01: I don't doubt it.
• 2:28:12
  SPEAKER_01: I just wonder what follows that.
• 2:28:15
  SPEAKER_00: Mariah doing something solo.
• 2:28:18
  SPEAKER_01: But Mariah doing something solo is almost what she's doing now.
• 2:28:21
  SPEAKER_00: I understand that, but it's under the banner of plush.
• 2:28:28
  SPEAKER_00: If she's able to break out somehow as a solo artist and have her name out there.
• 2:28:37
  SPEAKER_01: Do you think she would have to change styles?
• 2:28:41
  SPEAKER_01: Not be rock anymore.
• 2:28:43
  SPEAKER_00: No, I think she would.
• 2:28:46
  SPEAKER_00: It's hard to say.
• 2:28:47
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I see her more like a, like a modern day Joan Jett.
• 2:28:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:28:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:28:57
  SPEAKER_00: She's a front woman.
• 2:28:58
  SPEAKER_00: She's a rocker.
• 2:28:59
  SPEAKER_00: She, she obviously she can.
• 2:29:02
  SPEAKER_00: Sing and play and so on and so forth.
• 2:29:05
  SPEAKER_00: And she could be,
• 2:29:06
  SPEAKER_00: she's like a,
• 2:29:07
  SPEAKER_00: you know, a solo, like a,
• 2:29:09
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 2:29:10
  SPEAKER_00: to go back to even in the seventies as a solo rocker, like a Susie Quattro.
• 2:29:17
  SPEAKER_01: If that's, if that's the bar you're shooting for Susie Quattro, that's not a real high bar.
• 2:29:22
  SPEAKER_00: No, I'm talking about the image and the image and being a solo, you know, female vocalist.
• 2:29:30
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 2:29:31
  SPEAKER_00: Or even Doro.
• 2:29:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:29:35
  SPEAKER_00: I think one thing that she needs to do.
• 2:29:37
  SPEAKER_00: Doro was part of Warlock, and Warlock went away, and Doro continued as Doro.
• 2:29:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 2:29:44
  SPEAKER_00: Doing the exact same thing.
• 2:29:47
  SPEAKER_02: I think the one thing that Mariah would serve her best,
• 2:29:54
  SPEAKER_02: honestly,
• 2:29:55
  SPEAKER_02: and this is
• 2:29:56
  SPEAKER_01: no slight at how well she plays guitar,
• 2:29:59
  SPEAKER_01: but she needs to put the guitar down.
• 2:30:02
  SPEAKER_01: She needs to have a guitar player in the band to be the singer.
• 2:30:06
  SPEAKER_01: She's doing too much.
• 2:30:07
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, she's writing the song.
• 2:30:08
  SPEAKER_01: She's producing the shit.
• 2:30:10
  SPEAKER_01: She's playing on it.
• 2:30:11
  SPEAKER_01: She's singing it.
• 2:30:13
  SPEAKER_01: You know, be the front person.
• 2:30:16
  SPEAKER_01: Write the songs.
• 2:30:17
  SPEAKER_01: Sing the songs.
• 2:30:18
  SPEAKER_01: Let the other people do the other stuff.
• 2:30:23
  SPEAKER_01: You know, again, that's not a slap even against her as a guitar player.
• 2:30:28
  SPEAKER_01: She's a really good guitar player, but...
• 2:30:33
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 2:30:34
  SPEAKER_01: We'll see.
• 2:30:35
  SPEAKER_01: And again,
• 2:30:36
  SPEAKER_01: out of all this,
• 2:30:37
  SPEAKER_01: and I know it just sounds like we're just bagging on this really hard.
• 2:30:40
  SPEAKER_00: Not at all.
• 2:30:42
  SPEAKER_00: All it is is just constructive criticism.
• 2:30:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:30:48
  SPEAKER_01: I 1,000% want to see them do well.
• 2:30:50
  SPEAKER_01: I really, really do.
• 2:30:53
  SPEAKER_01: I would love for the first time in fucking
• 2:30:57
  SPEAKER_02: 35 years that I would have to watch
• 2:30:58
  SPEAKER_02: the Grammys to see if they won one.
• 2:31:01
  SPEAKER_02: Just because it would be cool to see somebody that we've known,
• 2:31:05
  SPEAKER_02: you know,
• 2:31:06
  SPEAKER_02: when she was playing in her bedroom,
• 2:31:08
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 2:31:09
  SPEAKER_01: it would be very cool to see that go all the way to getting a Grammy
• 2:31:13
  SPEAKER_01: or some shit like that.
• 2:31:14
  SPEAKER_01: But we shall see.
• 2:31:17

  SPEAKER_02: He showed up and played with Deep Purple.
• 2:33:12
  SPEAKER_00: Was he trying to get some redemption before he dies?
• 2:33:18
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 2:33:20
  SPEAKER_01: This was,
• 2:33:22
  SPEAKER_01: and Jacko hit this on the head earlier in the show,
• 2:33:26
  SPEAKER_01: it was the biggest story of the week by far.
• 2:33:29
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean,
• 2:33:30
  SPEAKER_01: but I think what was surprising about this Was that there really wasn't any buildup
• 2:33:39
  SPEAKER_01: or notice.
• 2:33:40
  SPEAKER_01: I think he literally just called them like the
• 2:33:43
  SPEAKER_02: day before and said,
• 2:33:45
  SPEAKER_02: hey, you're going to be in wherever this was, Jones Beach.
• 2:33:50
  SPEAKER_02: Can I walk on and do a song?
• 2:33:52
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think there was any planning at all in this
• 2:33:56
  SPEAKER_02: because they literally announced it like the night before.
• 2:34:00
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 2:34:02
  SPEAKER_02: They could have announced this a month before,
• 2:34:06
  SPEAKER_02: moved to a bigger venue, and sold out whatever venue.
• 2:34:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:34:11
  SPEAKER_02: You know, where did they play?
• 2:34:14
  SPEAKER_02: At the Northwell at Jones Beach Theater.
• 2:34:18
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:34:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think they could have done Madison Square Garden.
• 2:34:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's that big of a deal,
• 2:34:24
  SPEAKER_01: but I think somewhere
• 2:34:26
  SPEAKER_02: in between Madison Square Garden and this place
• 2:34:30
  SPEAKER_02: that they played,
• 2:34:32
  SPEAKER_02: There's got to be a bigger,
• 2:34:33
  SPEAKER_02: there would be a bigger audience to see this, don't you think?
• 2:34:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but again, like you said, this may have been a spur of the moment.
• 2:34:42
  SPEAKER_00: And with Richie's health being what it is, he may think he doesn't have very long to be around.
• 2:34:51
  SPEAKER_00: And was thinking, you know, these guys are close to where I live.
• 2:34:55
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I kind of want to make amends before...
• 2:35:00
  SPEAKER_00: You know, the lights go out.
• 2:35:01
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 2:35:02
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, he's old.
• 2:35:03
  SPEAKER_02: It says right in this article, he's 81.
• 2:35:06
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, he's digging the grave already.
• 2:35:09
  SPEAKER_02: It's probably already dug.
• 2:35:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he's been having his health issues recently as well.
• 2:35:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:35:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:35:17
  SPEAKER_01: So he went out, he went up and played one song, played Smoke on the Water.
• 2:35:25
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure Jim fucking took him three days to wash his fucking hand,
• 2:35:29
  SPEAKER_01: wash the jizz off his hand after seeing it.
• 2:35:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'll play it.
• 2:35:33
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's fine.
• 2:35:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's the weirdest fucking thing.
• 2:35:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's like, all right, it's cool.
• 2:35:39
  SPEAKER_01: You know, cool, whatever.
• 2:35:42
  SPEAKER_01: I just, I don't know how you get,
• 2:35:45
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know how you get excited about this, but let me switch to that tab.
• 2:35:52
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 2:35:52
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll put it on the screen.
• 2:35:56
  SPEAKER_01: So here we go.
• 2:36:44
  SPEAKER_01: Now there he is.
• 2:37:14
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not really going to shit on this, but could somebody introduce the man?
• 2:37:21
  SPEAKER_00: They're just making sure all the settings are set up and everything's copacetic up there.
• 2:37:28
  SPEAKER_01: How about the guitar tech brings the guitar out and does all that shit
• 2:37:33
  SPEAKER_01: while Ian Gillen gets up to the front of the stage and goes,
• 2:37:35
  SPEAKER_01: it's been 33 years, but here he is, Richie Blackmore.
• 2:37:40
  SPEAKER_01: Everybody goes crazy.
• 2:37:42
  SPEAKER_01: And then they put the guitar on him, and then he plays.
• 2:37:45
  SPEAKER_01: And again,
• 2:37:47
  SPEAKER_01: I know that's Monday morning quarterbacking a little bit,
• 2:37:49
  SPEAKER_01: but man, he just kind of walked out.
• 2:37:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like no fanfare.
• 2:37:54
  SPEAKER_01: You would think after 33 years, you'd have, I don't know, something.
• 2:37:59
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe take the lights down, come back up, and he's on stage or something.
• 2:38:04
  SPEAKER_01: Something?
• 2:38:04
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, there's nothing.
• 2:38:08
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 2:39:08
  SPEAKER_01: These old codgers are who I would imagine playing in a church.
• 2:39:16
  SPEAKER_01: And again, no disrespect to Deep Purple.
• 2:39:18
  SPEAKER_01: Good for them.
• 2:39:18
  SPEAKER_01: They're still out there.
• 2:39:19
  SPEAKER_01: They're all, what, 75 to 80, you know, 80 plus years old.
• 2:39:24
  SPEAKER_01: So they're still doing it.
• 2:39:26
  SPEAKER_01: And they're doing it at a pretty high level.
• 2:39:27
  SPEAKER_01: And the actual splat record is pretty decent.
• 2:39:30
  SPEAKER_01: So they're still productive.
• 2:39:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just like.
• 2:39:35
  SPEAKER_01: This is cool.
• 2:39:36
  SPEAKER_01: Like if I was a Deep Purple, like a big fan, I'm sure I'd be enjoying this.
• 2:39:43
  SPEAKER_01: But it's like, all right, there he is.
• 2:39:48
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know, again, you don't know what the discussion was prior to joining him on stage.
• 2:39:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he may not
• 2:39:55
  SPEAKER_01: have wanted it at all.
• 2:39:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he may not have wanted that kind of fanfare.
• 2:40:00
  SPEAKER_01: And with him, he's kind of.
• 2:40:02
  SPEAKER_01: And eccentric like that anyway.
• 2:40:04
  SPEAKER_01: It wouldn't shock me at all if he did say that.
• 2:40:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like, I don't want any accolades.
• 2:40:10
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want any pomp and circumstance.
• 2:40:12
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want anything.
• 2:40:14
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to come out and let's rip through this.
• 2:40:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and that's what they do.
• 2:40:19
  SPEAKER_01: They just play it and then he's gone.
• 2:40:22
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 2:41:17
  SPEAKER_01: I thought he was blind.
• 2:41:20
  SPEAKER_00: I, well, I, I heard that he was losing a sight.
• 2:41:23
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how blind he is.
• 2:41:25
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, this is me moving around the stage.
• 2:41:27
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 2:41:29
  SPEAKER_01: Considering if he can't see, that's pretty good.
• 2:41:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:41:34
  SPEAKER_01: So, all right, well, here we go.
• 2:44:07
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 2:44:10
  SPEAKER_03: He's looking a little rough.
• 2:44:13
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, what the heck?
• 2:44:15
  SPEAKER_00: He's like grabbing his hand.
• 2:44:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, what are you doing?
• 2:44:19
  SPEAKER_00: That's weird.
• 2:44:21
  SPEAKER_00: I was just like, that was odd.
• 2:44:23

• 2:44:57
  SPEAKER_01: He needs the other guy to strum it for him or what?
• 2:45:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I guess he's trying to show kind of camaraderie and brotherhood, kinship.
• 2:45:05
  SPEAKER_01: See, me and Ian are friends now.
• 2:45:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're old buds.
• 2:45:10
  SPEAKER_01: We're bros. And that solo left, you know, and again, I don't want to
• 2:45:17
  SPEAKER_00: bat on it.
• 2:45:18
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder how long it's been since he's actually played that.
• 2:45:22
  SPEAKER_01: It ain't been that long.
• 2:45:23
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, oh no, that was Rainbow he was out with.
• 2:45:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it wasn't Deep Purple.
• 2:45:27
  SPEAKER_01: It probably has been a while.
• 2:45:29
  SPEAKER_00: So he's probably,
• 2:45:30
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 2:45:31
  SPEAKER_00: you got to wonder if he had to kind of relearn it a little bit prior to getting
• 2:45:36
  SPEAKER_00: on stage.
• 2:45:38
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, I got to bone up on this.
• 2:45:41
  SPEAKER_00: It's been a long time since I played this tune.
• 2:45:46
  SPEAKER_01: I'll play a little more here.
• 2:45:47
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 2:46:01
  Oops!
• 2:46:31
  SPEAKER_02: That's a pretty big room.
• 2:46:32
  SPEAKER_03: I can't hear you, come on!
• 2:48:07
  SPEAKER_03: I gotta say something.
• 2:48:10
  SPEAKER_03: Couple of days ago, I got a message.
• 2:48:12
  SPEAKER_03: I'm falling over.
• 2:48:15
  SPEAKER_03: Couple of days ago, I got a message from a local lad.
• 2:48:19
  SPEAKER_03: How come you're getting so much taller than me?
• 2:48:21
  SPEAKER_03: It's the other way round, mate.
• 2:48:23
  SPEAKER_03: You're shrinking.
• 2:48:25
  SPEAKER_03: I got a letter from this man saying, I only live around the corner.
• 2:48:29
  SPEAKER_03: Do you mind if I come and jam with you?
• 2:48:31
  SPEAKER_03: And I'd show it.
• 2:48:32
  SPEAKER_03: It was an absolute pleasure.
• 2:48:35
  SPEAKER_03: To have back on stage, the founder member, the great legend, the immortal, Richie Blackmore.
• 2:48:46
  SPEAKER_03: Thanks, Richie.
• 2:48:47
  SPEAKER_03: I have to say, it was a great pleasure.
• 2:48:50
  SPEAKER_03: I'll see you in the bar.
• 2:49:08
  SPEAKER_01: And it's a cool moment.
• 2:49:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'll give them that.
• 2:49:10
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 2:49:12
  SPEAKER_01: Last time we see them.
• 2:49:14
  SPEAKER_00: Could be.
• 2:49:14
  SPEAKER_00: You never know.
• 2:49:16
  SPEAKER_00: That's one of those Aussie moments.
• 2:49:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:49:19
  SPEAKER_00: Could be.
• 2:49:20
  SPEAKER_00: Just wanted to come out and say goodbye to the Deep Purple fans.
• 2:49:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:49:25
  SPEAKER_01: It wouldn't shock me at all if we got a message like two weeks from now.
• 2:49:29
  SPEAKER_01: He's dead.
• 2:49:31
  SPEAKER_00: I hope not.
• 2:49:31
  SPEAKER_00: But I mean, would it shock you?
• 2:49:33
  SPEAKER_00: No, not at all.
• 2:49:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I was saying.
• 2:49:35
  SPEAKER_00: It was just kind of a weird out of the blue thing that all of a sudden he just wants
• 2:49:41
  SPEAKER_00: to show up and play with them after 33 years.
• 2:49:44
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:49:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's like, is the Grim Reaper knocking?
• 2:49:49
  SPEAKER_00: You know?
• 2:49:51
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let's hope not.
• 2:49:52
  SPEAKER_01: Let's hope that they find a way to keep him alive for at least for this whole cycle.
• 2:49:58
  SPEAKER_01: And maybe he could show up and play on Whatever the next record is called.
• 2:50:03
  SPEAKER_01: Squish or whatever.
• 2:50:05
  SPEAKER_01: Squish.
• 2:50:11
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 2:50:12
  SPEAKER_01: Richie Blackmore for one night only back with Deep Purple.
• 2:50:17
  SPEAKER_00: Well, how about that?
• 2:50:19
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, it's what it is.
• 2:50:25
  SPEAKER_01: Again, it would have been nice if it was cooler.
• 2:50:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
• 2:50:29
  SPEAKER_01: And again,
• 2:50:30
  SPEAKER_01: I know I'm picking for no reason,
• 2:50:31
  SPEAKER_01: but it's like it should have been an event, don't you think?
• 2:50:36
  SPEAKER_01: Well, it is a big deal
• 2:50:38
  SPEAKER_00: for this.
• 2:50:39
  SPEAKER_00: It is a big deal.
• 2:50:40
  SPEAKER_00: But again, maybe he just didn't want the fanfare.
• 2:50:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 2:50:46
  SPEAKER_01: It just seems like it should have been a bigger deal.
• 2:50:49
  SPEAKER_01: To me, it seems like they should have announced it even a week ahead.
• 2:50:55
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and again, he even said, I got a call yesterday or whatever, and here we are.
• 2:51:01
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 2:51:02
  SPEAKER_01: you would have thought maybe they'd say, well,
• 2:51:03
  SPEAKER_01: how about if we wait a week and we'll fly you down to Florida or wherever
• 2:51:08
  SPEAKER_01: the fuck we're going to be?
• 2:51:12
  SPEAKER_01: You know, something.
• 2:51:14
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 2:51:15
  SPEAKER_00: Well, again, who knows?
• 2:51:17
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, who knows what his health condition is?
• 2:51:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean,
• 2:51:21
  SPEAKER_01: and that's,
• 2:51:22
  SPEAKER_01: I guess that really is,
• 2:51:23
  SPEAKER_01: I guess at this point with all of these bands,
• 2:51:25
  SPEAKER_01: we have to think about those things, don't we?
• 2:51:29
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 2:51:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, for a bunch of old guys,
• 2:51:33
  SPEAKER_00: the rest of the band seems to be in fairly good, you know, good health.
• 2:51:38
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 2:51:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, no, they definitely do.
• 2:51:40
  SPEAKER_01: All right, well, let's stay on old-ass bands for a minute, shall we?
• 2:51:46
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:51:48
  SPEAKER_01: Let's talk about a band that, um, We talk about fairly regularly on this show, I think.
• 2:51:54
  SPEAKER_01: We definitely reference these guys fairly often.
• 2:51:59
  SPEAKER_01: And this band is back once again.
• 2:52:02
  SPEAKER_01: I can't believe I'm saying this.
• 2:52:05
  SPEAKER_01: But there is a new Foghat single out there.
• 2:52:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, how about that?
• 2:52:12
  SPEAKER_01: And guess what, Neely?
• 2:52:13
  SPEAKER_01: I know this is going to stun you.
• 2:52:15
  SPEAKER_01: It's from a live record.
• 2:52:17
  SPEAKER_01: Hmm.
• 2:52:20
  SPEAKER_01: Because that seems to be what Foghat does these days.
• 2:52:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's just those live records.
• 2:52:25
  SPEAKER_00: Are you due for another Roger Earl interview?
• 2:52:29
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 2:52:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they're putting out a new live.
• 2:52:31
  SPEAKER_01: I would do it.
• 2:52:32
  SPEAKER_01: I would do it in a minute.
• 2:52:33
  SPEAKER_01: Roger was great.
• 2:52:34
  SPEAKER_00: I know.
• 2:52:35
  SPEAKER_00: You sent him that photo, right?
• 2:52:37
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 2:52:38
  SPEAKER_01: I did.
• 2:52:40
  SPEAKER_01: You know, Roger was fantastic.
• 2:52:43
  SPEAKER_01: He was a great chat.
• 2:52:45
  SPEAKER_01: I would chat with him again.
• 2:52:47
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm just like, all right.
• 2:52:49
  SPEAKER_01: A Foghat single.
• 2:52:50
  SPEAKER_01: Do we really need that?
• 2:52:54
  SPEAKER_01: Do we really need a live single from Foghat?
• 2:52:58
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 2:52:59
  SPEAKER_01: That's what I'm saying.
• 2:53:03
  SPEAKER_01: More than... Let me get to the page here first.
• 2:53:06
  SPEAKER_01: Hold on.
• 2:53:08
  SPEAKER_01: Share this tab.
• 2:53:10
  SPEAKER_01: All right.

  SPEAKER_01: I love them.

• 2:54:02
  SPEAKER_01: Throughout their 2025, you'll love this, Neely.
• 2:54:05
  SPEAKER_01: I'll bet you'll never guess the name of the tour that they were on.
• 2:54:11
  SPEAKER_01: The Slow Ride 50th Anniversary Tour.
• 2:54:14
  SPEAKER_00: All right, well.

  SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
• 2:59:40
  SPEAKER_01: You wouldn't go see this?
• 2:59:42
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:59:43
  SPEAKER_01: You wouldn't go see Foghat?
• 2:59:44
  SPEAKER_00: If they were playing in my backyard, I wouldn't even open the curtains.
• 2:59:48
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 2:59:49
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just kidding.
• 2:59:51
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, damn.
• 2:59:55
  SPEAKER_00: I've seen Foghat like three times, and I was bored all three times.
• 3:00:03
  SPEAKER_01: Let's say $10 right down the street from you, that place where like enough's enough.
• 3:00:08
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if it was on a school night, I might go, sure, why not?
• 3:00:12
  SPEAKER_00: $10.
• 3:00:13
  SPEAKER_01: $10?
• 3:00:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:00:15
  SPEAKER_00: $20?
• 3:00:16
  SPEAKER_00: When I worked at the club, we had Foghat there twice.
• 3:00:19
  SPEAKER_01: Sure.
• 3:00:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know, and then we had Dave Peverett's fog hat there once.
• 3:00:25
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:00:26
  SPEAKER_00: And he tried to pull shenanigans that they wouldn't go on stage unless they got another $2,000.
• 3:00:33
  SPEAKER_01: You were like, beat it, punk.
• 3:00:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:00:36
  SPEAKER_01: Did you send him on his way?
• 3:00:38
  SPEAKER_00: The club owner said, you know, screw you.
• 3:00:43
  SPEAKER_00: We'll just go out and make an announcement that you guys are holding us hostage here.
• 3:00:48
  SPEAKER_01: Nice.
• 3:00:48
  SPEAKER_00: For an extra few grand.
• 3:00:51
  SPEAKER_02: So did they end up playing or did they leave?
• 3:00:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they ended up playing.
• 3:00:54
  SPEAKER_01: They were like, fuck you, we'll just play it.
• 3:00:56
  SPEAKER_01: But you guys are dicks.
• 3:00:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, basically.
• 3:00:59
  SPEAKER_01: We'll never play this club again.
• 3:01:02
  SPEAKER_01: You're like, yeah, so what?
• 3:01:08
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there you have it.
• 3:01:08
  SPEAKER_01: There's some new Foghat for you.
• 3:01:11
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:01:13
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds like Foghat.
• 3:01:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I was going to say, it's really shocking how much it sounds like Foghat.
• 3:01:20
  SPEAKER_00: Look up on the wiki and see how many members have been through Foghat.
• 3:01:25
  SPEAKER_00: Do you think it's under 50?
• 3:01:28
  SPEAKER_01: Under 50.
• 3:01:30
  SPEAKER_01: Before I go there, the over under.
• 3:01:34
  SPEAKER_01: I'm going to say over.
• 3:01:36
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to say under.
• 3:01:38
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see.
• 3:01:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know this to be, I'm just guessing.
• 3:01:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because this is going to be one of them bands like a Whitesnake
• 3:01:45
  SPEAKER_00: or something that's had 100 people go through the door.
• 3:01:47
  SPEAKER_00: Unless I'm missing something.
• 3:01:49
  SPEAKER_01: They only had like 10 guys.
• 3:01:51
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 3:01:52
  SPEAKER_01: That's what it says.
• 3:01:53
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 3:01:54
  SPEAKER_00: Well, fair enough.

  SPEAKER_01: 22 years.
• 3:02:25
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 3:02:27
  SPEAKER_01: Did he go back to victory or something?
• 3:02:29
  SPEAKER_01: I think he did, but I think he did because he lost the Foghat gig.
• 3:02:34
  SPEAKER_00: That had to be a consistent gig.
• 3:02:36
  SPEAKER_00: I wonder why he lost the Foghat gig.
• 3:02:38
  SPEAKER_01: Giving away the catering.
• 3:02:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he promised to give us some.
• 3:02:45
  SPEAKER_01: Could have been it.
• 3:02:46
  SPEAKER_01: They're like, fuck,
• 3:02:47
  SPEAKER_01: every time we come back after a set to get a sandwich, there's none left, Charlie.

• 3:09:22
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 3:09:23
  SPEAKER_01: You probably didn't see it.
• 3:09:24
  SPEAKER_01: The audience is seeing it.
• 3:09:25
  SPEAKER_01: This is why I have the elderly people playing a purple guitar walking
• 3:09:31
  SPEAKER_02: up the aisle
• 3:09:31
  SPEAKER_02: as our backdrop on the videos tonight because I had
• 3:09:36
  SPEAKER_02: so many old people stories tonight.
• 3:09:39
  SPEAKER_01: There's a bunch of old bands doing music.
• 3:09:43
  SPEAKER_01: I guess none of the young bands are doing it, so let's just have old bands get out there.
• 3:09:49
  SPEAKER_01: Another old band that we talk about on occasion is Asia.
• 3:09:56
  SPEAKER_01: Asia has a new single.
• 3:10:00
  SPEAKER_00: What passes as Asia?
• 3:10:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:10:04
  SPEAKER_01: Again, speaking of bands with a long laundry list of people.
• 3:10:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:10:09
  SPEAKER_00: So basically Asia is like Foghat.
• 3:10:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 3:10:14
  SPEAKER_00: You've got one member and then they've got a revolving door of members.
• 3:10:18
  SPEAKER_01: Mm-hmm.
• 3:10:20
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm going to be honest, this song to me does not sound like Asia very much at all.
• 3:10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, why would it?
• 3:10:26
  SPEAKER_00: It's only got one guy.
• 3:10:27
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 3:10:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's true.
• 3:10:30
  SPEAKER_01: Today, legendary English rock supergroup Asia.
• 3:10:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:10:35
  SPEAKER_01: When they were formed, they were a rock supergroup.
• 3:10:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because they had members of other notable bands.
• 3:10:43
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's Jeff Downs and Company.
• 3:10:46
  SPEAKER_01: These guys ain't a supergroup anymore.
• 3:10:50
  SPEAKER_02: You can graduate out of being a supergroup, can't you?
• 3:10:54
  SPEAKER_00: When you're no longer got numerous participating musicians from other projects,
• 3:11:02
  SPEAKER_00: notable projects.
• 3:11:03
  SPEAKER_00: And nobody's heard of these guys.
• 3:11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what makes up a supergroup.
• 3:11:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:11:10
  SPEAKER_01: The drummer is a superstar, Virgil Donati.
• 3:11:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, he's a major drummer, if you pay attention to the prog world and stuff.
• 3:11:19
  SPEAKER_01: Virgil's a major, major drummer.
• 3:11:21
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I'm not saying any of these guys are bad.
• 3:11:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying this ain't a super group.
• 3:11:25
  SPEAKER_01: It's Jeff Downs, Virgil Donati, John Mitchell, and Harry Whitley.
• 3:11:32
  SPEAKER_01: I am looking at the stars to see if I can see this band.
• 3:11:37
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 3:11:39
  SPEAKER_01: They have a new single called Edge of You, Echo of You.
• 3:11:43
  SPEAKER_01: They have a new video for it.
• 3:11:46
  SPEAKER_01: And this is the second, this is, I think, the second video from this.
• 3:11:51
  SPEAKER_01: The album doesn't come out until November 6th.
• 3:11:55
  SPEAKER_01: Why are they releasing videos now?
• 3:11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we gotta, you know, gotta keep it in the public eye.
• 3:12:02
  SPEAKER_00: Keep people interested, maybe.
• 3:12:06
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe you get a couple people that buy tickets and then pass away.
• 3:12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Get to keep their money.
• 3:12:12
  SPEAKER_01: I mean...
• 3:12:14
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, November 6th is a long way away still.
• 3:12:17
  SPEAKER_00: It's not as far away as you think it is.
• 3:12:19
  SPEAKER_01: September, October, November.
• 3:12:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's three fucking months.
• 3:12:23
  SPEAKER_00: No, it's not.
• 3:12:24
  SPEAKER_00: November 6th is the beginning of November.
• 3:12:26
  SPEAKER_01: Today's only the 15th or whatever.
• 3:12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you're only looking at eight weeks.
• 3:12:33
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 3:12:35
  SPEAKER_01: You have all of September and all of October.
• 3:12:37
  SPEAKER_01: That's eight weeks, a ninth week in November, and two more weeks now, 11 weeks.
• 3:12:43
  SPEAKER_01: And they're on the second single.
• 3:12:46
  SPEAKER_01: This ain't the first one.
• 3:12:47
  SPEAKER_01: There was another one two or three weeks ago that we played on the show.
• 3:12:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's just the way that you have to release music these days.
• 3:12:55
  SPEAKER_01: I guess.
• 3:12:56
  SPEAKER_00: You've got to dole out these singles as a lead up to the official release of the record.
• 3:13:03
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody's buying records these days.
• 3:13:08
  SPEAKER_01: Boy, to go back a little bit to the plush record versus this,
• 3:13:12
  SPEAKER_01: this scab version of Asia,
• 3:13:14
  SPEAKER_01: this video came out three days ago and they've got 61,000 views.
• 3:13:19
  SPEAKER_01: That doesn't play well for plush at all.
• 3:13:23
  SPEAKER_01: Oof.
• 3:13:24
  SPEAKER_01: All right, well, let's check it out.
• 3:13:25
  SPEAKER_01: This is Echo of You.
• 3:13:28
  SPEAKER_01: It's brand new Asia.
• 3:13:46
  SPEAKER_01: Is this just footage they had?
• 3:14:03
  Alright,
• 3:14:14
  SPEAKER_01: real quick.
• 3:14:16
  SPEAKER_01: You saw that in the video about the people?
• 3:14:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:14:21
  SPEAKER_01: Do you really believe somebody came up and was like, holy shit, it's Asia?
• 3:14:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no.
• 3:14:27
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the thing.
• 3:14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:14:30
  SPEAKER_00: When I'm out on the road with Doggin, there are fans that know when they're coming in somehow.
• 3:14:38
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 3:14:39
  SPEAKER_00: And they're there at the airport waiting.
• 3:14:43
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:14:44
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're an Asia fan and you know that they're coming into town or whatever,
• 3:14:49
  SPEAKER_00: they may be waiting on you.
• 3:14:51
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 3:14:52
  SPEAKER_00: And they are.
• 3:14:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you know,
• 3:14:54
  SPEAKER_00: I've traveled with them enough over the years that,
• 3:14:57
  SPEAKER_00: you know,
• 3:14:57
  SPEAKER_00: we land at an airport and we're walking out and there's half
• 3:15:01
  SPEAKER_00: a dozen fans hanging out there with, you know, stuff to be signed.
• 3:15:06
  SPEAKER_01: And I guess that's probably true.
• 3:15:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just looking at these guys and I'm like,
• 3:15:11
  SPEAKER_01: If they were literally in my living room,
• 3:15:13
  SPEAKER_01: I wouldn't know that they were the guys from Asia.
• 3:15:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but you're not a fan, though.
• 3:15:17
  SPEAKER_01: But I am a fan.
• 3:15:18
  SPEAKER_00: No, you're not a fan of this particular.
• 3:15:20
  SPEAKER_01: Of this particular version, Mach 30 or whatever this is.
• 3:15:25
  SPEAKER_00: And obviously, this looks like this is in, you know, Europe.
• 3:15:29
  SPEAKER_00: Japan or somewhere, yeah.
• 3:15:30
  SPEAKER_00: They're in Europe or something.
• 3:15:32
  SPEAKER_01: All right,
• 3:15:33
  SPEAKER_01: let me get back to heat of the moment,
• 3:15:34
  SPEAKER_01: or whatever this is, because it's not heat of the moment.
• 3:15:38
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 3:15:58
  SPEAKER_03: I think of all the things we did,
• 3:16:02
  SPEAKER_03: I think of all the great,
• 3:16:05
  SPEAKER_03: the good, the magical,
• 3:16:08
  SPEAKER_01: the endless nights, the timeless love.
• 3:16:13
  SPEAKER_01: I wish that I could turn tight.
• 3:16:17
  SPEAKER_03: I wish you were still at
• 3:16:20
  SPEAKER_01: my side, but now you're far away.
• 3:16:24
  SPEAKER_01: This really is just random footage
• 3:16:27
  SPEAKER_00: that they have.
• 3:16:27
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, it's just all, you know, B-roll shit.
• 3:16:31
  SPEAKER_00: Somebody's filming on their iPhone.
• 3:16:33
  SPEAKER_01: Just throwing the song underneath it and just throwing it together.
• 3:16:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we're a working band out on tour.
• 3:16:41
  SPEAKER_00: Look at us walking through the airports.
• 3:16:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but they're not...
• 3:16:43
  SPEAKER_01: How about syncing up the music a little?
• 3:16:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like, there's one part where just the keyboard's playing, they show the drummer drumming.
• 3:16:51
  SPEAKER_01: Don't show the drummer drumming in that part.
• 3:16:53
  SPEAKER_01: He's not drumming.
• 3:16:57
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever.
• 3:16:58
  SPEAKER_01: All right, here we go.
• 3:16:59
  SPEAKER_01: A different place, it's day for night.
• 3:17:03
  SPEAKER_01: A man that really lives a man that
• 3:17:06
  SPEAKER_03: really lives a
• 3:17:08
  SPEAKER_01: man.
• 3:17:10
  SPEAKER_03: It's the echo of you, running round my head, every street I walk, every word I've said.
• 3:17:18
  SPEAKER_03: I could try to move on, I could try to renew, but the rhythm of my heart still echoes for you.
• 3:17:25
  SPEAKER_03: It's the echo of you, running round my head, every street I walk, every word I've said.
• 3:17:32
  SPEAKER_03: I could try to move on, I could try to renew, but the echoes remind me of me.
• 3:17:54
  SPEAKER_01: If I blinked, I would have thought it was only time will tell.
• 3:17:59
  SPEAKER_01: Sounds nothing like Asia.
• 3:18:02
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, do
• 3:18:03
  SPEAKER_00: you think this sounds at all like Asia?
• 3:18:05
  SPEAKER_00: If somebody told me this was Asia, I would have never guessed.
• 3:18:10
  SPEAKER_01: And if somebody just played it for you and asked you what it was, you would have had no idea.
• 3:18:13
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 3:18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Just some fucking band.
• 3:18:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, just some fucking band.
• 3:18:20
  SPEAKER_01: I'll play a little more and we'll get out of this one.
• 3:18:22
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 3:18:29
  SPEAKER_01: There's things I wish I'd never done,
• 3:18:32
  SPEAKER_01: untruths that
• 3:18:34
  SPEAKER_03: I wish were all gone,
• 3:18:36
  SPEAKER_03: but now it's you that's flown the nest of love
• 3:18:41
  SPEAKER_00: made for us.
• 3:18:44
  SPEAKER_00: You think that I don't care, that's wrong.
• 3:18:47
  SPEAKER_00: You think I wish I wasn't there, but here we
• 3:18:52
  SPEAKER_03: are, still sad and broken like a missing
• 3:18:59
  SPEAKER_03: link.
• 3:18:59
  SPEAKER_03: The memory lives, memory lives, memory lives, memory lives, memory lives, memory lives.
• 3:19:11
  SPEAKER_03: I had no idea that band guys talk to each other when they're in a van moving to a gig.
• 3:19:42
  SPEAKER_01: This is cool.
• 3:19:44
  SPEAKER_01: Hey metalheads, tired of waiting for new episodes?
• 3:19:46
  SPEAKER_03: Crave the real raw classic metal show?
• 3:19:48
  SPEAKER_03: For just $4.99 a month, you can become a CMS VIP.
• 3:19:52
  SPEAKER_03: You get every episode of full week early, completely uncensored, and 100% commercial
• 3:20:00
  SPEAKER_03: I'm still trying to figure out if this is Korea or Japan.
• 3:20:03
  SPEAKER_03: I never was good at reading the Korean.
• 3:20:05
  SPEAKER_03: I could speak it, but I couldn't really read it very well.
• 3:20:28
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of this looks like it might be Korea.
• 3:20:30
  SPEAKER_01: Like a lot of it looks familiar to me.
• 3:20:33
  SPEAKER_01: And again, I've been there since 1989.
• 3:20:37
  SPEAKER_01: So it's been a minute, but all right.
• 3:20:40
  SPEAKER_01: That's enough of this.
• 3:20:41
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
• 3:20:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:20:44
  SPEAKER_01: More than enough.
• 3:20:47
  SPEAKER_01: More than enough.
• 3:20:49
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:20:50
  SPEAKER_01: Let me kill that one.
• 3:20:51
  SPEAKER_01: Let me see if I have one more short one before.
• 3:20:56
  SPEAKER_01: I got one more short one,
• 3:20:57
  SPEAKER_01: and then we'll talk about Glenn Hughes and get the fuck out of here, all right?
• 3:20:59
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 3:21:01
  SPEAKER_01: This one, again, I'm going back to the AI train.
• 3:21:06
  SPEAKER_01: Another Dokken AI song has popped up.
• 3:21:10
  SPEAKER_01: These guys have got Dokken down.
• 3:21:13
  SPEAKER_01: They've got Don Dokken down.
• 3:21:14
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know about musically, but they have got Don's voice all the way down.
• 3:21:22
  SPEAKER_01: And of course, now it ain't showing.
• 3:21:23
  SPEAKER_01: What the bloody fuck?
• 3:21:27
  SPEAKER_01: Well, maybe I'm not showing you that because it doesn't look like I'm getting it.
• 3:21:32
  SPEAKER_01: What the hell?
• 3:21:35
  SPEAKER_01: Come on, you fuckwad.
• 3:21:39
  SPEAKER_01: No, I guess they deleted it.
• 3:21:40
  SPEAKER_01: It looks like they deleted the song.
• 3:21:43
  SPEAKER_01: Never mind.
• 3:21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Never mind.
• 3:21:46
  SPEAKER_01: We'll just go with Glenn Hughes.
• 3:21:48
  SPEAKER_01: We'll wrap up with Glenn Hughes.
• 3:21:50
  SPEAKER_01: I got a short story here.
• 3:21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Is it good?
• 3:21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:21:56
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Then let's do Glenn Hughes first and we'll end on a positive because this is a negative.
• 3:22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Well, this is okay.
• 3:22:03
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to end on a negative.
• 3:22:05
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:22:05
  SPEAKER_01: I got a positive.
• 3:22:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'll make this quick because there's not much to talk about with this really.
• 3:22:10
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:22:10
  SPEAKER_01: This is five minutes.
• 3:22:13
  SPEAKER_01: Glenn Hughes,
• 3:22:15
  SPEAKER_01: of course,
• 3:22:17
  SPEAKER_01: the rock god vocalist, Dunzo,
• 3:22:21
  SPEAKER_01: completely done, announced his retirement from live shows due to heart surgery.
• 3:22:27
  SPEAKER_01: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes has announced his retirement
• 3:22:30
  SPEAKER_01: from touring and live performances.
• 3:22:33
  SPEAKER_01: Upon his doctor's advice,
• 3:22:34
  SPEAKER_01: Glenn will have to undergo heart surgery and has made the difficult decision
• 3:22:39
  SPEAKER_01: to step back from live performances for the foreseeable future.
• 3:22:43
  SPEAKER_01: And the man is, what, 78 years old or whatever?
• 3:22:46
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 3:22:47
  SPEAKER_01: So that's it.
• 3:22:49
  SPEAKER_01: He's not going to come back.
• 3:22:49
  SPEAKER_01: He may come back and do one show if he survives the heart surgery
• 3:22:54
  SPEAKER_01: and Gets back healthy, and I hope he does.
• 3:22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Honestly, you know, I certainly don't hope any bad things.
• 3:23:03
  SPEAKER_01: What a sad end to his career, no?
• 3:23:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well, you know what?
• 3:23:07
  SPEAKER_00: I think the early, you know, excesses may have caught up with him.
• 3:23:15
  SPEAKER_01: Just sucks that his last gig wasn't his Glenn Hughes.
• 3:23:18
  SPEAKER_01: It was his fucking dead daisies.
• 3:23:21
  SPEAKER_01: That stinks.
• 3:23:24
  SPEAKER_01: That stinks that he doesn't get to go out on his terms even a little bit.
• 3:23:28
  SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
• 3:23:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:23:31
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just hate that.
• 3:23:34
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't bring this to the show last week,
• 3:23:37
  SPEAKER_01: and I'm really barely bringing it to the show this week
• 3:23:39
  SPEAKER_01: because there's really not much to say other than he definitely had a great career.
• 3:23:46
  SPEAKER_01: But this is short of dying on stage Dimebag style.
• 3:23:50
  SPEAKER_01: This is about as awful a way to go out as you can.
• 3:23:55
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't it?
• 3:23:55
  SPEAKER_01: Just got a phone call.
• 3:23:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not allowed to play anymore.
• 3:23:58
  SPEAKER_01: I'm out.
• 3:23:59
  SPEAKER_01: See ya.
• 3:23:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:24:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that, you know, Walter Perezader from Chicago, he had to retire.
• 3:24:08
  SPEAKER_00: Suddenly like that?
• 3:24:09
  SPEAKER_00: Back in 2015 because of heart-related issues.
• 3:24:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:24:14
  SPEAKER_00: You know, so he left the band in 2015 and then obviously passed away a few weeks ago.
• 3:24:20
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:24:22
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I guess you leave the band, but you enjoy the little bit of time you got left, right?
• 3:24:28
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 3:24:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, Glenn has always been super,
• 3:24:34
  SPEAKER_01: super nice every time I've encountered him in person, in interviews.
• 3:24:40
  SPEAKER_01: He's one of the nicest guys.
• 3:24:41
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
• 3:24:43
  SPEAKER_01: let's hope that the heart surgery goes well and him and his chick can go off
• 3:24:48
  SPEAKER_01: and have 10 or 15 good years of just hanging out and He can sing in his garden
• 3:24:54
  SPEAKER_01: or something,
• 3:24:56
  SPEAKER_01: you know,
• 3:24:57
  SPEAKER_01: but a sad end to a sad end to a guy that really has had a pretty, pretty big career.
• 3:25:02
  SPEAKER_01: Don't you think?
• 3:25:03
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:25:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:25:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's had a long, a long career,
• 3:25:07
  SPEAKER_01: long career.
• 3:25:08
  SPEAKER_01: And most of it has been positive.
• 3:25:10
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, it's really years and there's really not a whole lot of,
• 3:25:14
  SPEAKER_01: you know, doldrum years for him where he just wasn't popular or heard or whatever.
• 3:25:21
  SPEAKER_01: He went into that weird phase in the 90s where he was doing all that funk stuff.
• 3:25:26
  SPEAKER_01: But man, you can't really argue the Deep Purple stuff.
• 3:25:29
  SPEAKER_01: You can't argue Black Sabbath stuff.
• 3:25:31
  SPEAKER_01: You can't argue his solo stuff.
• 3:25:33
  SPEAKER_01: It's all been really good.
• 3:25:35
  SPEAKER_01: Working with Iommi, you know, the depth sessions.
• 3:25:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the Iommi Hughes.
• 3:25:41
  SPEAKER_01: Iommi Hughes.
• 3:25:42
  SPEAKER_03: Mm-hmm.
• 3:25:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean, he's had a good run.
• 3:25:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm sad to see this one just because I like Glenn, but, you know.
• 3:25:51
  SPEAKER_01: Like everything else going on in this world today, man.
• 3:25:55
  SPEAKER_01: We said it 10, 15 years ago, you and I on this show, that you better see them while you can.
• 3:26:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because that window is closing.
• 3:26:04
  SPEAKER_01: And believe me, I am thrilled that I saw him in, I think it was 2020.
• 3:26:09
  SPEAKER_01: It was a few weeks before COVID started.
• 3:26:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:26:12
  SPEAKER_00: I saw that.
• 3:26:13
  SPEAKER_00: I saw him two years ago.
• 3:26:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:26:15
  SPEAKER_00: Right down the road here.
• 3:26:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:26:17
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad that I did get the chance to...
• 3:26:20
  SPEAKER_01: To check him out one more time before he checks out.
• 3:26:25
  SPEAKER_01: Let's hope that's not for a while.
• 3:26:28
  SPEAKER_01: But as far as performing, he's done.
• 3:26:31
  SPEAKER_01: So that's that.
• 3:26:34
  SPEAKER_01: And that's all I really got to say on Glenn Hughes.
• 3:26:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:26:39
  SPEAKER_00: Well, we were concentrating on AI this evening and the music and so on and so forth.
• 3:26:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 3:26:45
  SPEAKER_00: The legendary Queen guitarist,
• 3:26:47
  SPEAKER_00: Sir Brian May,
• 3:26:49
  SPEAKER_00: has declared that humanity has no need for artificial intelligence,
• 3:26:53
  SPEAKER_00: warning that the cost of its development is far too steep.
• 3:26:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I got news for you here, Brian.
• 3:27:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's here.
• 3:27:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's here, Pops.
• 3:27:03
  SPEAKER_00: What are you going to do now?
• 3:27:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:27:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'll bet he made that comment too on his cell phone, which he also didn't want to see.
• 3:27:12
  SPEAKER_01: He was much more happy with a rotary phone, I'm sure.
• 3:27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Right, right.
• 3:27:17
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 3:27:18
  SPEAKER_00: In an Instagram post published on Tuesday,
• 3:27:20
  SPEAKER_00: the 79-year-old musician raised alarm about the physical infrastructure required
• 3:27:26
  SPEAKER_00: to power AI systems urging the data centers must be blocked from being constructed
• 3:27:32
  SPEAKER_00: across Britain.
• 3:27:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so tired of this fucking argument.
• 3:27:36
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think has been powering websites for the last 30 fucking years?
• 3:27:42
  SPEAKER_01: Data centers.
• 3:27:44
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think powers every goddamn phone system in the world?
• 3:27:49
  SPEAKER_01: Data centers.
• 3:27:52
  SPEAKER_01: These data centers are not,
• 3:27:55
  SPEAKER_01: it's not like there were no data centers and now all of a sudden there's
• 3:27:58
  SPEAKER_01: a zillion data centers.
• 3:28:01
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of it is—I mean, and again, I want to be clear.
• 3:28:05
  SPEAKER_01: I understand how this is going, and certainly it is an issue, but it's the same issue as—
• 3:28:15
  SPEAKER_01: Anything else,
• 3:28:16
  SPEAKER_01: when car companies first started manufacturing cars,
• 3:28:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm imagining there was people that were like,
• 3:28:24
  SPEAKER_01: we can't put all of our steel into these wagons that aren't going to be around
• 3:28:30
  SPEAKER_01: in 10, right?
• 3:28:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure they were putting the same horse shit out for that.
• 3:28:37
  SPEAKER_01: And then the car industry just was like, fuck it, we're doing it.
• 3:28:41
  SPEAKER_01: AI is here, man.
• 3:28:43
  SPEAKER_01: Y'all better just get used to it because you literally look like an old man yelling
• 3:28:48
  SPEAKER_01: at the clouds if you don't accept that it's here.
• 3:28:51
  SPEAKER_01: It's here.
• 3:28:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to be here.
• 3:28:55
  SPEAKER_01: We're old enough to where it's probably not going to happen,
• 3:28:58
  SPEAKER_01: but the next generation is probably going to all be killed by robots from AI.
• 3:29:03
  SPEAKER_00: Just like the Terminator.
• 3:29:05
  SPEAKER_01: Just like the Terminator.
• 3:29:06
  SPEAKER_01: Skynet is active.
• 3:29:08
  SPEAKER_01: It is.
• 3:29:09
  SPEAKER_01: And it's learning.
• 3:29:11
  SPEAKER_01: And we taught it tonight, things about rollercoaster.
• 3:29:14
  SPEAKER_01: We taught them all about writing hit songs.
• 3:29:17
  SPEAKER_01: So it's here.
• 3:29:19
  SPEAKER_01: It's going to kill us all eventually.
• 3:29:21
  SPEAKER_01: But go for the ride because guess what?
• 3:29:24
  SPEAKER_01: You're already on the fucking train, whether you like it or not.
• 3:29:27
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:29:29
  SPEAKER_00: We must not allow these hideous data centers to be built in the UK.
• 3:29:34
  SPEAKER_00: They will destroy our beautiful country like they are already destroying
• 3:29:37
  SPEAKER_00: the beautiful America, he wrote.
• 3:29:40
  SPEAKER_00: Are they?
• 3:29:43
  SPEAKER_01: Where has he been exactly in America that he was like,
• 3:29:47
  SPEAKER_01: this place used to be gorgeous, but now there's just all these data centers around.
• 3:29:53
  SPEAKER_01: Where's that happening?
• 3:29:54
  SPEAKER_01: Do you go to Mount Rushmore and now there's a big data center
• 3:29:56
  SPEAKER_01: on fucking George Washington's head?
• 3:29:58
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:29:59
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, what is he talking about?
• 3:30:01
  SPEAKER_01: He sees a goddamn clip on X of a data center that has the sound turned up to
• 3:30:07
  SPEAKER_01: a thousand so that it seems like it's this big noise pollution nonsense.
• 3:30:12
  SPEAKER_01: And he's like, oh, see?
• 3:30:14
  SPEAKER_01: See?
• 3:30:16
  SPEAKER_01: Stop it, old man.
• 3:30:17
  SPEAKER_01: You sound like an idiot.
• 3:30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:30:19
  SPEAKER_00: Brian Thunberg.
• 3:30:22
  SPEAKER_00: Sir Brian also directed a personal plea to the Prime Minister,
• 3:30:27
  SPEAKER_00: Andy Burnham, stating, Dear Andy, you must stop it now before it's too late.
• 3:30:34
  SPEAKER_00: The sky is falling.
• 3:30:36
  SPEAKER_01: Let's say for the sake of argument.
• 3:30:38
  SPEAKER_01: Let's play along.
• 3:30:40
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:30:41
  SPEAKER_01: So...
• 3:30:43
  SPEAKER_01: England, because Sir Brian May made a point, outlaws AI data centers.
• 3:30:52
  SPEAKER_01: Do you really think that's going to stop the spread of AI?
• 3:30:56
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the thing is,
• 3:30:57
  SPEAKER_00: is if Britain,
• 3:30:59
  SPEAKER_00: England does not have data centers, they will become a, you know, fall behind.
• 3:31:03
  SPEAKER_01: They will be Zimbabwe.
• 3:31:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they'll fall behind in commerce and they will no longer be a,
• 3:31:10
  SPEAKER_00: A player on the world stage.
• 3:31:13
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:31:14
  SPEAKER_01: They'll be out with sticks trying to fish with a stab.
• 3:31:22
  SPEAKER_01: Just stop it.
• 3:31:23
  SPEAKER_01: You sound like an idiot.
• 3:31:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:31:26
  SPEAKER_00: He insisted the price of this's inevitable technology shift was simply too great.
• 3:31:32
  SPEAKER_00: The post was prompted by Sir Brian's experiment with Meta's AI tool,
• 3:31:37
  SPEAKER_00: which he asked to reproduce the artwork from Queen's 1980 record, The Game.
• 3:31:44
  SPEAKER_00: Sharing the results with his followers, he was far from impressed by the technology's output.
• 3:31:50
  SPEAKER_00: I just had to share with you guys.
• 3:31:52
  SPEAKER_00: I asked Meta AI to show me what the cover of the game album looked like.
• 3:31:58
  SPEAKER_00: This is what they gave me.
• 3:31:59
  SPEAKER_00: Good job, huh?
• 3:32:00
  SPEAKER_00: He wrote sarcastically.
• 3:32:03
  SPEAKER_00: So it was kind of an intelligence that will soon be ruling the world.
• 3:32:07
  SPEAKER_00: The failed attempt at recreating the iconic album sleeve appeared
• 3:32:12
  SPEAKER_00: to crystallize his broader skepticism,
• 3:32:16
  SPEAKER_00: leading him to conclude,
• 3:32:18
  SPEAKER_00: well, great, maybe this is the time to realize we actually don't need AI.
• 3:32:25
  SPEAKER_01: Because it couldn't recreate their...
• 3:32:27
  SPEAKER_00: Their album cover.
• 3:32:29
  SPEAKER_01: First of all, of all the image generators, he picked the absolute worst one.
• 3:32:35
  SPEAKER_01: Not that I need to give him a tech lesson,
• 3:32:38
  SPEAKER_01: but Meta AI is dog shit when it comes to image creation.
• 3:32:44
  SPEAKER_01: It is the worst.
• 3:32:45
  SPEAKER_01: The best is ChatGPT of the free ones.
• 3:32:49
  SPEAKER_01: ChatGPT is the best.
• 3:32:50
  SPEAKER_01: Grok is second.
• 3:32:52
  SPEAKER_01: Gemini is third.
• 3:32:54
  SPEAKER_01: Look, I just did literally his test.
• 3:32:57
  SPEAKER_01: Put it on the screen.
• 3:32:59
  SPEAKER_01: I did his test.
• 3:33:00
  SPEAKER_01: You tell me this doesn't look like, does that look like it?
• 3:33:05
  SPEAKER_00: I would think that was it.
• 3:33:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:33:10
  SPEAKER_01: I just literally said recreate, recreate it.
• 3:33:13
  SPEAKER_01: There it is.
• 3:33:16
  SPEAKER_01: But he did it with meta AI, which looks like shit.
• 3:33:18
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see if I have meta AI on this thing.
• 3:33:21
  SPEAKER_01: Cause if I do, I'll do it on meta AI too.
• 3:33:23
  SPEAKER_01: So we can, so we can play his game.
• 3:33:26
  SPEAKER_01: And I'll bet he's probably correct with meta AI.
• 3:33:29
  SPEAKER_01: Recreate Queen's album cover for the game.
• 3:33:38
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see what this does.
• 3:33:40
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I got to fucking log in.
• 3:33:42
  SPEAKER_01: This fucking shitty.
• 3:33:45
  SPEAKER_00: Well, while you're logging in.
• 3:33:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, go ahead.
• 3:33:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:33:52
  SPEAKER_00: Sir Brian's intervention comes amid a broader debate within the music industry
• 3:33:57
  SPEAKER_00: over AI's role in creative work.
• 3:34:00
  SPEAKER_00: Speaking at the 2026 Ivor Novello Awards in May,
• 3:34:07
  SPEAKER_00: four non-blondes vocalist Linda Perry took a markedly different view,
• 3:34:11
  SPEAKER_00: encouraging fellow artists to welcome the technology rather than resist it.
• 3:34:17
  SPEAKER_00: To me,
• 3:34:18
  SPEAKER_00: it's just another tool that has shown up to make people's life easier in some way,
• 3:34:23
  SPEAKER_00: she said,
• 3:34:23
  SPEAKER_00: comparing the panic around AI to early fears
• 3:34:27
  SPEAKER_00: about microwaves replacing home cooking.
• 3:34:30
  SPEAKER_00: If we try to run from the future, then we're running from a solution, she added.
• 3:34:35
  SPEAKER_00: Dance music producer Nina Archives offered a third perspective at
• 3:34:40
  SPEAKER_00: the Mercury Prize launch in July,
• 3:34:43
  SPEAKER_00: expressing doubt about AI-generated music staying power.
• 3:34:47
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if AI music will last, to be honest with you.
• 3:34:51
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's quite like fleeting technology at the moment, she said.
• 3:34:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, sure.
• 3:34:56
  SPEAKER_01: Fleeting technology.
• 3:34:58
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 3:34:59
  SPEAKER_01: There's the meta AI one, of course.
• 3:35:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's shit.
• 3:35:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:35:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's not the same.
• 3:35:03
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 3:35:05
  SPEAKER_00: The other one came out looking exactly like the cover.
• 3:35:09
  SPEAKER_01: Use the right tool, you know, and it looks right.
• 3:35:15
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:35:17
  SPEAKER_00: Sir Brian's career with Queen produced an extraordinary catalog of hits with
• 3:35:22
  SPEAKER_00: the band, achieving six number one singles and ten chart-topping albums in the UK.
• 3:35:29
  SPEAKER_00: Among their most celebrated track are Bohemian Rhapsody,
• 3:35:33
  SPEAKER_00: Killer Queen, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and We Are the Champions.
• 3:35:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:35:39
  SPEAKER_01: Well, since he wrote a bunch of great songs, well,
• 3:35:41
  SPEAKER_01: then he is the arbiter of how artificial intelligence should be used around
• 3:35:46
  SPEAKER_01: the world.
• 3:35:47
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 3:35:48
  SPEAKER_01: Because he wrote, you know, Fat Bottom Girls.
• 3:35:52
  SPEAKER_01: That makes him an expert on everything.
• 3:35:54
  SPEAKER_00: Sure.
• 3:35:55
  SPEAKER_00: Shut up.
• 3:35:57
  SPEAKER_00: Well, since we're talking about Queen, this will wrap up the show.
• 3:36:01
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 3:36:02
  SPEAKER_00: Nikki Sixx confirms Motley Crue are using backing tracks, but says it's fine because Queen R2.
• 3:36:10
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, well, in that case, I got news for you, most of them are.
• 3:36:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:36:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:36:16
  SPEAKER_00: Nikki Sixx has admitted that Motley Crue have embraced the use of backing tracks
• 3:36:21
  SPEAKER_00: during their shows, but promises they still play all their own instruments live.
• 3:36:26
  SPEAKER_00: The glam metal veterans have faced numerous allegations of using tapes
• 3:36:30
  SPEAKER_00: during their gigs in the past.
• 3:36:32
  SPEAKER_00: In the most serious instance, former guitarist Mick Mars once accused them of miming on stage.
• 3:36:40
  SPEAKER_00: Responding to a fan's question on X,
• 3:36:43
  SPEAKER_00: Though bass player Nikki Sixx has now admitted that, yes,
• 3:36:47
  SPEAKER_00: we do use backing tracks,
• 3:36:48
  SPEAKER_00: but they play their own parts live and they're comfortable with that.
• 3:36:53
  SPEAKER_00: Since we saw Queen using some help during the song Bohemian Rhapsody live,
• 3:36:58
  SPEAKER_00: we understood that we could bring in elements that we could not do live, he writes.
• 3:37:05
  SPEAKER_00: Like sing and play bass?
• 3:37:09
  SPEAKER_00: I think Tommy Lee's the only one playing up there.
• 3:37:12
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I'm sure John 5 is playing.
• 3:37:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's true too.
• 3:37:17
  SPEAKER_00: These are extra instrumental layers such as orchestrations,
• 3:37:21
  SPEAKER_00: saxophones rather than guitars, he said.
• 3:37:24
  SPEAKER_00: Their ballad Home Sweet Home and the upbeat Rattlesnake Shake are examples of songs
• 3:37:29
  SPEAKER_00: that have those extra sprinkles.
• 3:37:31
  SPEAKER_00: We sync them up with what we are playing and we do play 100% live.
• 3:37:36
  SPEAKER_00: Six continues.
• 3:37:37
  SPEAKER_00: It's better for the fans and we are enjoying it.
• 3:37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Being able to do what we did in the studio live.
• 3:37:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's a win-win for us.
• 3:37:47
  SPEAKER_00: The Music Radar reports crew have come under scrutiny before
• 3:37:51
  SPEAKER_00: a 2022 performance seemed to suggest that Tommy Lee wasn't playing his drum parts.
• 3:37:56
  SPEAKER_00: Fans had noted discrepancies between his movements and what came out of the PA.
• 3:38:02
  SPEAKER_00: Backing tracks with live performances are a sensitive subject
• 3:38:05
  SPEAKER_00: and many bands have been accused of faking their shows before now.
• 3:38:10
  SPEAKER_00: It's often delicate balancing act for artists to tread.
• 3:38:14
  SPEAKER_00: Fans don't want to buy expensive tickets to see musicians miming,
• 3:38:18
  SPEAKER_00: but there are instances where those extra tracks are accepted.
• 3:38:23
  SPEAKER_00: Wolfgang Van Halen may have called bands who heavily rely on extra tracks lame
• 3:38:29
  SPEAKER_00: as hell, but John Petrucci offered a more forgiving take.
• 3:38:33
  SPEAKER_00: He says backing tracks are fine so long as the guitarist on
• 3:38:37
  SPEAKER_00: the stage is playing their asses off.
• 3:38:39
  SPEAKER_00: Then, of course, there's the whole other world of fake guitar playing in the online sphere.
• 3:38:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's generated some fascinating conversations with our readers as to where the line is drawn.
• 3:38:53
  SPEAKER_00: Similar debates could be sparked about live performances.
• 3:38:57
  SPEAKER_00: So as long as Queen is doing it, we can do it too because it's fine.
• 3:39:00
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 3:39:01
  SPEAKER_01: Well, there you go.
• 3:39:02
  SPEAKER_01: Now we know.
• 3:39:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:39:04
  SPEAKER_00: So that's his justification.
• 3:39:07
  SPEAKER_00: Queen's doing it.
• 3:39:08
  SPEAKER_00: So can we.
• 3:39:09
  SPEAKER_01: Glad he puts himself in the same boat as Queen.
• 3:39:12
  SPEAKER_00: Right, of course.
• 3:39:14
  SPEAKER_01: Because when I think of technical excellence, I think of Queen and Motley Crue.
• 3:39:19
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 3:39:19
  SPEAKER_01: I think of them in one breath.
• 3:39:21
  SPEAKER_01: Jesus.
• 3:39:22
  SPEAKER_01: Are you kidding?
• 3:39:23
  SPEAKER_01: Queen?
• 3:39:24
  SPEAKER_00: Queen.
• 3:39:26
  SPEAKER_00: Well, as long as a highly respected band is getting away with it,
• 3:39:31
  SPEAKER_00: there's no reason why we can't too.
• 3:39:34
  SPEAKER_01: Why can't we fuck the system?
• 3:39:38
  SPEAKER_01: Fucking Nicky.
• 3:39:39
  SPEAKER_01: Yep.
• 3:39:41
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 3:39:43
  SPEAKER_01: Good for him.
• 3:39:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:39:46
  SPEAKER_00: Wonderful.
• 3:39:47
  SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
• 3:39:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:39:49
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 3:39:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's going to wrap up another show.
• 3:39:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:39:53
  SPEAKER_00: Quick.
• 3:39:54
  SPEAKER_00: We may or may not give you a pre-recorded segment next week.
• 3:39:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 3:39:59
  SPEAKER_00: We'll do something.
• 3:40:02
