  SPEAKER_03: The shoulder, I you just reminded me that I had shoulder surgery because I've been so high from the drugs that those pills are good.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_03: Oh god, Steve, they are the best.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_03: I'm seeing the world through different lenses.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_03: The only drag is that I am I have to keep going, you know, to the hospital to see my doctor and get checkups, you know, which means I have to take a couple hours where I'm not taking the pills, you know.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: Well, of course, you you know, you could get an Uber and you could take the pills and you can be as high as you want, the Uber.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_03: And I used to drive an Uber, and you'll there you go.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_03: See, so that reminds me.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_03: Like, for example, I spent a night at the hospital.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_03: There's some cool things about being in the hospital.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_03: You don't want to be there in the middle of the night.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_03: That's kind of a depressing thing.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_03: But I see that I was there at a regular time, and you're not gonna believe who I saw.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I I bet it was your dad, right?
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Because he he goes to the hospital every year, gets his blood, he gets that total body transfusion, gets his blood cleaned once a year.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: That's probably your dad, right?
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, ever since he saw that rolling read that Rolling Stones book, you know, about with Keith Richards about having your blood clean.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_03: You're right, but oh he only gets that done, you know, every so often when he gets paroled, and he hasn't been a good boy lately.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_01: So he's not gonna get paroled anytime soon.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_01: No, it's supposed to be new duty.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_03: But I'm there in the waiting room and I'm looking, I'm seeing this guy that looks so familiar to me.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it and I think I heard someone call him Axel.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_03: He looked like he was a rock star, you know, like from the 80s, you know, the big hair guys.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and uh was it Society's Killers?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_03: Was that oh I remember then?
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_01: They were Axel, somebody Axel Van Osburn, yeah.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_03: I oh yeah, no, he was that must have been him.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I I I wasn't even totally sure he was still alive, but I saw that he went to that 250th birthday bash that honored our king and incidentally marked 250 years since the declaration of independence.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: We understand it, he's the only performer who showed up.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_01: You know, was he how was he doing?
• 3:19
  SPEAKER_01: He was in the hospital there.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know how he was doing, but uh yeah, it looked like he was getting his blood cleaned, or you know, I mean he looked good, you know.
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_03: So yeah, he had so uh probably there for some cosmetic surgery that went bad, you know, like most of those rock stars in the 70s, you know, they they they want to keep looking just like they did before, but I I did hear about him.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_03: I know he was he's gotten pretty political, and that he was actually on tour with Rob Schneider.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_01: I I didn't know he was funny.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: Well, he's not.
• 3:51

  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah, I know Axel's not funny.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: He was a rocker, but no, yeah.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_01: No, I met Schneider, but you know, as far as the rocker, I heard that he is actually campaigning for a lot of MAGA politicians running for office in the midterms.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_01: You know, he considers himself a real American hero, which of course I think that's what the band was called before they were called Society's Killers.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: Because they went, I they went to some pack meeting or something and they decided that they were all domestic terrorists.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_01: So they said, Well, we're gonna change their name to Society's Killers, something like that.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, oh, he was great back in the day.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Man, he was quite the rocker.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_03: Is that a trend with these you know rock bands?
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_03: Like, isn't there a guy who was the guy that had the famous song Catnip Seizure?
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_03: Was that it?

• 6:36
  SPEAKER_03: I you left quite a quite a mark on her, literally.
• 6:41
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yes.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, sorry about that.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_02: I did like to mark them up a little bit back in the day, just just to make sure that everybody knew who belonged to who backstage.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_02: It was a crazy, crazy time.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, I did sign a lot of autographs back then.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_02: Boston was a great town.
• 6:59
  SPEAKER_02: Great town.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, especially when Aerosmith was out of town because that left more drugs for the rest of us.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: Actually, it left any drugs for the rest of us.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_02: Aerosmith getting out of town, let me tell you.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_02: But I signed a lot of autographs on those uh official American Heroes forms stating that I had no idea how old people were, especially the girls.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_02: You know, if they looked 16, it was worth an autograph.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_02: In fact, uh that's when I uh met the king.
• 7:26
  SPEAKER_02: Not Elvis.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_02: I never met that king.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: He died on the throne long before I was a thing.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_02: But uh I met our our current king, and uh he had a similar form, and uh, he was nice enough to mimeograph off a few copies for me to to use on my own.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_02: I I still use them.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you know, better safe than sorry.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_01: Funny thing, my sist my little sister Mary had to sign one of those forms too.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_01: She actually saw you in Montreal, and you know, she didn't feel she wasn't feeling so good a couple weeks after she saw you in Montreal, and you actually paid for her to see your own personal doctor free of charge.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_01: I we appreciate that.
• 8:06
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I believe me, I was glad to do that.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, wow, that's it.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_02: My doctor, I sent a lot of folks to my doctor, various things, mind you.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_02: But uh you know, he used to call me Mr.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_02: Boat because I bought him a boat.
• 8:24
  SPEAKER_02: In addition to all of the people that I sent to him, I bought him a boat.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_02: And this is the kind of guy.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, in all in all honesty, Canada's just terrible.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_02: I hated playing there.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_02: I I regret I regret that leg of the North American tour.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_02: They're just the worst.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_02: Nobody throws cherry bombs, they're always apologizing.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_02: They got nothing to teach us, and they're they're just leeching off of us.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_02: And I I'm not gonna give them any more of my music.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_02: If they want music, they can just go ahead and get it from Bruce Springsteen or BTO, as far as I'm concerned, or Celine Dion's back in the news.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_02: Well, there you go.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: That's Canada for you.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_03: I absolutely have to agree that Canada's not the Canada that we knew when we were growing up.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_03: You know, they've completely changed.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_03: I I I hear that they're actually in the tariff business and that they're imposing them on us, which I'm just so against tariffs being posed on imposed on us.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_03: And and I just can't believe that they would do that.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_03: How ungrateful can they be?
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, we have been their friends forever.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: And who's our friends?
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_02: Putin and the king.
• 9:40
  SPEAKER_02: Putin and the king, those are our friends, those are the people that you can actually rely on.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_02: They do what they say they're gonna do, and they do it when they say they're gonna do it.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_02: By gum.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, you know, I gotta say, Putin, you're talking about Putin.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_01: I hear that him and his friends are the best wedding planners on earth.
• 10:01
  SPEAKER_01: I, you know, you know, the top-level people go to them for wedding, wedding planning.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: Look, I know you love our king and the MAGA movement, but you know, actually, if you don't mind, I'd I've got some questions that maybe can help show how your views align with the movement.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_01: I think that would help, you know, let's face it, Jeff, the millions that are listening here to understand, come understand your your thought process and the movement.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: Well, sure, ask away, or as or as we like to say at the uh Second Amendment movements, shoot.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: Very good, very good.
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_01: Well, first, speaking of the Constitution, let's talk about our individual rights and the Constitution.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: Now, I assume you're a big fan of that.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I honestly I haven't gotten past the Second Amendment.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Once you find a winner, you might as well.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like in in the music business.
• 10:52
  SPEAKER_02: When you do your big encore and everybody's on their feet yelling your name, stop, don't come out again.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_02: You can only disappoint.
• 11:02
  SPEAKER_02: So once you get to the right to keep and bear arms, there's no reason to go on.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_02: Pretty soon people's gonna be telling you, you know, you're gonna read things about not having to, oh, I don't know, answer questions to the police or not submit to a search, or not quartering troops.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, crazy stuff like that's bound to come up.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_02: So I just stop it too.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_02: Keep my guns and go on.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, you know, that's also a thing in Canada, too.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_02: They get really, really, really perturbed when you're just firing off a few rounds outside the holiday inn on a on a Saturday night.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, you know, when you're loaded, you gotta unload.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_02: Am I right?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_02: Am I right?
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_02: And besides, guns don't kill people.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_02: Apparently, one guitar that I threw off the stage did, but the guns never killed anybody.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_03: And I you know what, I cannot argue with that because there would be no point to it.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_03: But you do believe in some gun control, though, don't you?
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, absolutely.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta control where you're pointing that thing.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_02: Aim it at a fire extinguisher.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_02: That's always fun.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um those things go off, they spray everywhere.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_02: It just it's it's oh my god, it's a rite of passage, really.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: That sounds very refreshing.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta ask though, too.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: You know, a big issue that a lot of people are talking about, a lot of people are very concerned about, are the Epstein files and some of the people in those files and what may be contained in there, and some of the crimes that really aren't aren't being pursued, aren't being punished.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_01: How do you feel about the Epstein files?
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_02: Honestly, I I never heard their work.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: I I mean I never opened for them.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_02: I don't have any of their CDs or anything like that.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm not familiar with the Epstein files.
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_03: I heard that too.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_03: It's an acquired taste, I think.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_03: Not a taste that I have acquired yet, but let's move on to the hot buttons, you know, now that you're working for the king.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_03: Let's start with taxes.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_03: I know Steve and I have had a number of shows about taxes.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_03: Steve, remember we had a show about paying taxes under the king's new administration?
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: And we did our taxes actually live on the show.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_03: And it got a little confusing.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_03: And yeah, the one thing that I I heard feedback from people was that the taxes are only for rich people, that that they don't pay them, that everybody else has to pay them.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_03: Is is that true?
• 13:33
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you're a rich guy.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_03: Do you pay taxes?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_03: Of course not.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_03: Never have, never will.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_02: You know, that's that's another reason to just snuggle on up to the MAGA party, is you know, you're right, I am a rich guy.
• 13:47
  SPEAKER_02: Um, I can I have, you know, I'm I do okay.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_02: I'm not like Bill Gates rich, but I do get Bill Gates level of of women, but I'm not Bill Gates rich.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_02: But still, I can pony up a few thousand dollars for a pardon when I need to.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and if you're getting women that look like Bill Gates, I mean, you're you're you're you're living in Clover right now, let me tell you.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: I gotta ask you about one issue that really kind of separates the MAGA movement from, well, I don't know, pretty much everybody else, and that's the the issue of Greenland.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: You know, the thought that, hey, we're gonna take over Greenland.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to, it's gonna be like an American territory.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: What are your feelings on that?
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: You know, they got no concert venues up there.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: They got nothing.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_02: It is ripe for development.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_02: People like cold weather.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: I can't explain, you know, it's the Canada alternative.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_02: Once we get up there, we will build Canada in our own image.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_02: It'll call be called Greenland, but it'll be Canada in our image.
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: The Danes they're not doing anything with it.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_02: The Eskimos, I don't even know if they're called Eskimos anymore.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: But you know what?
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_02: When we get Greenland, we'll put some concert venues in there, put a casino in there, maybe put in a, I don't know, an old timey uh whaling vessel, you know, you can pay some extra dough, go out on a whaling mission.
• 15:17
  SPEAKER_01: Sell some Eskimo pies.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, come on.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_02: Well, that'll get you in the Epstein files.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_03: Well, and speaking of uh hot buttons for Black Lives Matter, BLM, I hear that in Canada it's called ELM.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_03: I don't even know what the E stands for.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_03: Indigenous, indigenous?
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_03: I'm not even sure.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_03: But you know Edmonton.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_03: It's Edmonton, it must be that.
• 15:42
  SPEAKER_03: I agree with you.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_03: It's Canada just needs to really get their act together, I think.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_02: You go and you talk to them, and they're all so polite.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_02: Uh they'll tell you, oh, could you just please go shove it?
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_02: And it's like, you know, get off the fence.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_02: Tell me to shove it or don't tell me to shove it.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_02: I grew up in a rough neighborhood.
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_02: Grew up on the south side of Dubuque.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's rough.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of fighters came out of that neighborhood, yeah.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: You know, another issue that is is kind of dividing to some extent the the MAGA movement is of course the war.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: So I uh what are your views on on war?
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_02: What is it good for?
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_02: Winning the midterm.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: That's what it's good for.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_02: Get people's minds off of things, you know.

  SPEAKER_02: I digress.

  SPEAKER_02: Anyway.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: I think too.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: That guy's pretty smart.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: If you're gonna shoot a missile, shoot it at someone else, I always say.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, don't shoot the missiles at yourself.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_01: And speaking of just makes that sense.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and when you're when you're talking about war, I think we we all admit that Cisco Kid was a brilliant song.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you played that when you were on tour or not.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_02: Or we got way too many Cisco's around here now, if you're asking me.
• 17:05
  SPEAKER_02: So that whole Eric Burton experiment just didn't work at all.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_02: He was a nice guy though.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, you knew you knew Eric Burton.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, sure.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_02: Sure.

  SPEAKER_02: Short guy, deep voice.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_02: He he was an interesting guy.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_02: And I mean, you know, the House of the Rising Sun, I was this many years old before I knew that that was actually about a brothel.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: Really?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_02: I didn't know that.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_02: Wow.

  SPEAKER_03: You know, because we don't have the good one.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_01: It was a good one.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and and you know, in Canada they have the midnight sun, so it wouldn't be rising, it'd be, you know, always omnipresent.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's right.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_01: The house of the omnipresent sun that just that's just it doesn't sound musical.
• 17:57
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't track, you know?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's not.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_02: So the worst thing about a Canadian brothel is you always gotta ask.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_02: Everything's please and thank you.

  SPEAKER_02: Uh, if you ask me, way better than blue.
• 19:05
  SPEAKER_02: Uh green is, of course, the color of money.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_02: Green is, of course, the color of weed.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_02: Green is, of course, the color of um most wearable fashion.

  SPEAKER_02: So if you're asking me, perfection, sometimes sometimes perfection is an accident.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_02: You're not trying to be perfect, but all of a sudden you are.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_02: So you're trying to make this reflecting pool reflect.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_02: But then you know what?

• 20:14
  SPEAKER_03: What uh I I've heard rumors.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and I think the way to campaign for that seat is to lie still and not say anything.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: That seems to work.

  SPEAKER_03: Here I am recovering from surgery, heisekite, and I was listening to a podcast, and they brought up this subject.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you're familiar.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_03: It's it's A Y A I A I don't know what it is, I don't know what the second line is.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know if it's Axel.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe that's your middle name or whatever.

  SPEAKER_01: No, I think it's that it's that thing that's gonna kill everybody on Earth.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I really think.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_01: That's it.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_03: I couldn't put my finger on it.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_03: Do you do you have an opinion about this?
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_03: If AI was around back when you were in your heyday, would you worry that you'd be replaced?
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_03: Absolutely not.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_02: AI can do a lot of things.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_02: It can write a good song, but it can't come up with the concept of a song.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, if you're trying to woo the pants off of high school girls, maybe AI can help you do that.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: But it's not gonna know what to do once it succeeds.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: So that's what you need rock stars and billionaires for to know what to do when the opportunity uh presents itself.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: So AI can get you there, but can't get you there.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: I've never heard wiser words spoken in my life.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: Wow.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_01: You know, actually, this has been great.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, but I unfortunately they are gonna kick us out of eccentric Lady Land Studios here.

  SPEAKER_02: Oh, hey Jeff, I did hear you say you're high as a kite.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_02: Um listen, those painkillers, when you're coming down, my big suggestion is you put on a pair of wet socks, cook yourself a really greasy hamburger, eat that, get about 14 hours of sleep, you'll wake up wanting to do it all over again.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_03: I took notes.
