2:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: I do a little too much sometimes.
2:21
SPEAKER_02: But you scaled back.
2:22
SPEAKER_02: I had to.
2:24
SPEAKER_02: I know at the beginning of this year,
2:26
SPEAKER_02: the end of last year,
2:28
SPEAKER_02: you were talking about, well,
2:29
SPEAKER_02: in the new year,
2:29
SPEAKER_02: you're going to scale back and Drop a couple of the shows and,
2:33
SPEAKER_02: you know, try to, you know, not take on so much.
2:37
SPEAKER_02: And you kind of did that.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, I had to.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I knew at the end of last year that this thing with pinball PA was coming
2:44
SPEAKER_00: and I knew I was going to be in class for several months.
2:47
SPEAKER_00: And I knew that something had to change.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: There just was no way to,
2:52
SPEAKER_00: you know,
2:52
SPEAKER_00: incorporate daily three and four hour classes and And then do my regular work
2:57
SPEAKER_00: and do shows and do all the video processing and all the other bullshit.
3:00
SPEAKER_00: It just wasn't going to work.
3:02
SPEAKER_02: Right.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: So that's why I had to do it.
3:04
SPEAKER_00: And I hate,
3:05
SPEAKER_00: honestly,
3:06
SPEAKER_00: the biggest,
3:06
SPEAKER_00: the only regret that I really have out of losing everything is ending the show
3:09
SPEAKER_00: with me and Eric.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: Because I really did enjoy doing that show.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I'm eventually here.
3:16
SPEAKER_00: If Eric throws the invite to me, I will do it again.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's already said he wants me to come back and do,
3:21
SPEAKER_00: you know, an episode here and there, which I will do.
3:24
SPEAKER_00: But.
3:25
SPEAKER_00: I do miss doing that one because I miss hanging with Eric every week, but it is what it is.
3:32
SPEAKER_00: Thankfully, the business piece of it has paid off well.
3:36
SPEAKER_00: As
3:40
SPEAKER_00: get older, I don't have as much jump as I used to have in me, I guess.
3:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
3:46
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, look, and I've talked to you about this off the air.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: I've talked about it on the air.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: You know, there's a lot of parts of me that wants to cut this one down a little bit.
3:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, I wouldn't mind cutting this show down to four hours.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: I really wouldn't, or three.
4:00
SPEAKER_00: You know, but I'm not there yet.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: You know, when I get there, I'll tell you, and we'll make a decision at that point.
4:06

4:09
SPEAKER_00: My back is finally not hurting again, or at least not hurting as bad anymore.
4:13
SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's because I'm Losing weight, that might be helping.
4:16
SPEAKER_02: And having a healthier diet.

4:58
SPEAKER_02: You know, so I flew out of here on Thursday and flew to Orlando, Florida.
5:06
SPEAKER_02: And boy, I'll tell you what.
5:08
SPEAKER_02: People who live in Florida year-round, holy shit, it was like stepping out into a sauna.
5:14
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was just wet heat.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that humidity at this time of the year is brutal over there.
5:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just stepping off the plane and going into the parking garage where they have
5:29
SPEAKER_02: the rental cars.
5:30
SPEAKER_02: It was just like, holy shit, it's like walking into a sauna.
5:34
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
5:36
SPEAKER_02: And we're just standing there waiting for the girl at the checkout counter at
5:43
SPEAKER_02: the car rental to get our rental agreement put together and things.
5:46
SPEAKER_02: And they had the rental desk outside in the garage, in the parking garage itself.
5:53
SPEAKER_00: Right.
5:54
SPEAKER_02: And then the girl who was doing the checkout,
5:57
SPEAKER_02: her little printer froze up or came unplugged or something.
6:02
SPEAKER_02: And it wouldn't print out the...
6:05
SPEAKER_02: The rental agreement.
6:06
SPEAKER_02: So we're just standing there and standing there and standing there and trying
6:09
SPEAKER_02: to help her figure out how to get this thing is because
6:12
SPEAKER_02: the sweat is just pouring off of us just standing there.
6:16
SPEAKER_02: I bet.
6:17
SPEAKER_02: It was crazy.
6:18
SPEAKER_02: But, you know,
6:19
SPEAKER_02: once we got rolling,
6:21
SPEAKER_02: we went to a little kind of a very touristy little town called Mount Dora.
6:29
SPEAKER_02: And, uh, it was,
6:30
SPEAKER_02: it was a nice little town,
6:31
SPEAKER_02: you know,
6:32
SPEAKER_02: it was kind of like a walking town,
6:33
SPEAKER_02: you know,
6:34
SPEAKER_02: because of,
6:35
SPEAKER_02: they had a lot of stores and,
6:37
SPEAKER_02: uh, restaurants and bars and scenic stuff in this little town.
6:41
SPEAKER_02: The, the little roads were like very narrow.
6:44
SPEAKER_02: So you could tell it was an older town and a lot of the roads were one way and not
6:50
SPEAKER_02: a,
6:50
SPEAKER_02: not a lot of room for cars to pass through there,
6:54
SPEAKER_02: especially if people were parked alongside the road.
6:56
SPEAKER_02: But, uh, Very nice little town.
7:00
SPEAKER_02: They had a place, they called it the Mount Dora Music Center.
7:04
SPEAKER_02: But when we got there, it was a community center.
7:07
SPEAKER_02: You know, it was kind of like a multi-use building.
7:12
SPEAKER_02: And it looked like it may have been like a movie theater at one time.
7:16
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:17
SPEAKER_02: And it held, I think I counted the seats, it held just shy of a thousand people.
7:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
7:24
SPEAKER_02: And, uh, you know, nice.
7:26
SPEAKER_02: It was nice.
7:27

7:47
SPEAKER_02: 50, 60 fans had signed up for this thing and they had a couple of opening bands.
7:54

7:59
SPEAKER_02: one of the bands had come down into the dressing room area.
8:03
SPEAKER_02: And one of the guys, his girlfriend, she was all dolled up.
8:09

8:13
SPEAKER_02: And she was just looking all, you know, just pretty, pretty hot girl.
8:18

8:43
SPEAKER_02: Just shook his head.

12:06
SPEAKER_02: they're like two chatty Cathy's.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: Right.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: You know,
12:09
SPEAKER_02: both of those guys just chat it up like,
12:11
SPEAKER_02: you know,
12:12
SPEAKER_02: it's so funny because,
12:13
SPEAKER_02: you know, people still think that there's some kind of animosity there or something.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, when those two Get in the same room and start chatting it up.
12:22
SPEAKER_02: They're just like too, you know, just chatting it up, you know.
12:27
SPEAKER_02: I was like, come on, Don.
12:28
SPEAKER_02: We got to hit the stage.
12:29
SPEAKER_02: Come on.
12:30
SPEAKER_02: And he's over there yapping it up with George.
12:32
SPEAKER_00: Hold on a minute.
12:33
SPEAKER_00: We're talking about that tour in 1986.
12:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's funny to see those two together.
12:39
SPEAKER_02: But the show went well.
12:42
SPEAKER_02: It was hot out there.
12:43
SPEAKER_02: They had big old fans on the stage.
12:45
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, a lot of wind blowing around on the stage there.
12:50
SPEAKER_02: And then, of course, George came up and did his three songs at the end.
12:55
SPEAKER_02: And the venue owner had made it very clear to me, you've got to pull the plug at midnight.
13:02
SPEAKER_02: We have a very strict, you know, noise ordinance here.
13:06
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
13:06
SPEAKER_02: Make sure that they stop at midnight.
13:09
SPEAKER_02: So they ended at 1158.
13:13
SPEAKER_02: Too close, man.
13:14
SPEAKER_02: Too close.
13:15
SPEAKER_02: It was just in time.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: Right.
13:18
SPEAKER_02: So...
13:20
SPEAKER_02: Overall, but then we had to catch a flight.
13:22
SPEAKER_02: We had to leave the hotel at 5 a.m. We didn't get back to the hotel until 1.30 or almost 2.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
13:29
SPEAKER_02: Just nap time, not sleep time.
13:31
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, just enough to get a nap and up and out the door by 5.
13:35
SPEAKER_02: Right.
13:36
SPEAKER_02: But I was back in the Chicagoland area by 9.30 Sunday morning.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: And asleep by 10.30.
13:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, by the time I drove home, it was 11.00.
13:46
SPEAKER_02: I was able to throw in a couple loads of laundry and take a little bit of a nap and
13:51
SPEAKER_02: then head out and go have some steak.
13:54
SPEAKER_02: All right.
13:54
SPEAKER_00: That sounds good.
13:55
SPEAKER_02: So it was all good.
13:56
SPEAKER_02: But good weekend.
13:58
SPEAKER_02: Quick trip down and back.
14:00
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, like I said, Thursday through Sunday.
14:05
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, I was able to upgrade my seats to first class on both trips.
14:13
SPEAKER_00: That's good.
14:13
SPEAKER_02: You know, because it was 200 bucks.
14:16
SPEAKER_00: That's not bad.
14:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, real bad.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: $200 for the upgrade or $200 total?
14:20
SPEAKER_02: No, $200 for the upgrade.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I was going to say, if it's $200 total, that's a hell of a deal.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: What were you flying?
14:25
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
14:26
SPEAKER_02: You know, Dokken picks up my flight.
14:29
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
14:31
SPEAKER_02: But when I was checking in, it says, would you like to upgrade?
14:34
SPEAKER_02: And I went to see what they had, and they had like four or five.
14:38
SPEAKER_02: First class seats open for 200 bucks.
14:41
SPEAKER_00: I was just like, yeah, I'll grab one of those.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to sit with the riffraff thing.
14:45
SPEAKER_00: You move me right onto the front.
14:48
SPEAKER_02: That's basically my thought.
14:49
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be in with the EBT crowd back there.
14:54
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to be sitting here when a brawl breaks out.
14:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's true.
14:58
SPEAKER_02: But I did notice something in the airport.
15:01
SPEAKER_02: The last time I flew was back in February of this year.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:05
SPEAKER_02: And what I've noticed now is And I'm calling it the wheelchair grift.
15:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
15:14
SPEAKER_02: All of a sudden now, there is like a line of wheelchairs of a certain demographic.
15:23
SPEAKER_02: Old people?
15:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
15:26
SPEAKER_02: Is that the demo?
15:29
SPEAKER_02: All of them need wheelchair assistance now.
15:32
SPEAKER_02: Oh, of course they do.
15:33
SPEAKER_02: Six or eight of them on each flight.
15:36
SPEAKER_02: I've never seen that before.
15:37
SPEAKER_00: Some of them 14 years old.
15:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
15:43
SPEAKER_02: That's now a thing.
15:45
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm sure it is.
15:47
SPEAKER_00: It's the only way you can get on board ahead of everybody else.
15:50
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: Anybody that needs assistance.
15:53
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, pretend you need assistance.
15:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: Let's go up to the counter and say,
15:57
SPEAKER_00: yeah, I'm going to need to be on the first loading flight, please.
16:01
SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
16:02
SPEAKER_02: I think they should load them in the cargo bay.
16:07
SPEAKER_00: Just drag them.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: Hook a chain to the bottom of the wheelchair.
16:11
SPEAKER_00: Hold on, fucko.
16:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but it was just unbelievable how that's changed now.
16:18
SPEAKER_02: That's the new grift.
16:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and it'll be something else sooner or later.
16:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, now I need wheelchair assistance.
16:25
SPEAKER_02: So there's eight or ten people lined up in wheelchairs waiting to get on.
16:33
SPEAKER_00: How many of them look like they actually needed a wheelchair?
16:35
SPEAKER_00: None.
16:35
SPEAKER_02: None?
16:37
SPEAKER_02: None of them?
16:38
SPEAKER_02: Unless you want to consider overweight needing assistance.
16:44
SPEAKER_00: Well, that could be.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: But I'm sure still you get a guy my size trying to fucking stuff his fat ass into a small seat.
16:52
SPEAKER_02: Right.
16:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm not paying for two seats.
16:54
SPEAKER_00: Fuck that.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm only 480 pounds.
16:56
SPEAKER_00: Why should I have to pay for double?
17:00
SPEAKER_00: People are so dumb.
17:02
SPEAKER_02: Well, the flying experience certainly isn't what it used to be years ago.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: Right.
17:07
SPEAKER_02: You know, and even upgrading to first class, you still get the ick about flying.
17:14
SPEAKER_02: It's just like, sigh.
17:18
SPEAKER_00: Well, you're still around those fuckwads.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: They're just pushed back, you know, 20 feet from you.
17:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: They're still near you.
17:25
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, true.
17:26
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:27
SPEAKER_02: And you're always just keeping your eye out just in case something breaks out
17:32
SPEAKER_02: because you just know it's going to happen.
17:35
SPEAKER_00: You're just sitting there waiting for them to open Whitey Airlines so
17:38
SPEAKER_00: that you can fly there all the time, right?
17:41
SPEAKER_00: That'll be your only flight?
17:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
17:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm taking the 3 o'clock on Whitey.
17:48
SPEAKER_00: I don't even need first class.
17:50
SPEAKER_00: It's Whitey Airlines.
17:52
SPEAKER_00: I'm happy to sit coach.
17:54
SPEAKER_02: I was going to send you a video this week.
17:56
SPEAKER_02: The reason we should have bailed out Spirit Airlines.
17:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh, Jesus.
18:01
SPEAKER_00: It was a blank video.
18:05
SPEAKER_02: No, it was just all the problems that the other airlines now have to encounter
18:09
SPEAKER_02: because Spirit is no longer operational.
18:14
SPEAKER_00: I've heard that Delta is taking a beating off of that.
18:16
SPEAKER_00: They're all switching to Delta.
18:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
18:19
SPEAKER_00: That's what I've heard.
18:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's true or not.
18:21
SPEAKER_02: No, that's not the one I'll be flying anytime soon.
18:26
SPEAKER_00: Again, you're looking for Whitey.
18:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I flew American down and flew United back.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: That's Whitey and Lily Whitey.
18:36
SPEAKER_02: That's pretty much my rule anymore is American is my first choice.
18:42
SPEAKER_02: United is my second choice.
18:43
SPEAKER_02: If there's a third choice, I might consider not going at all.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: Wretch in the chat room, I only fly Klan Air.
18:57
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
18:59
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
18:59
SPEAKER_02: So anyway, overall, a successful weekend.
19:03
SPEAKER_02: You know,
19:04
SPEAKER_02: it's always good to hang out with the guys and,
19:07
SPEAKER_02: you know, catch up and, you know, just hanging out and doing dude stuff.
19:12
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
19:14
SPEAKER_02: That's cool.
19:16
SPEAKER_02: Always glad to be back here on the show to do the show and entertain everybody.
19:24
SPEAKER_02: It's very flattering when I jump into either chat room early
19:29
SPEAKER_02: and there's people already there a half hour ahead just waiting for the show.
19:34
SPEAKER_02: It's like, wow, that is flattering.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: They start their own show.
19:38
SPEAKER_02: They do.
19:39
SPEAKER_02: They do.
19:41
SPEAKER_02: For those of you who Tune in and participate every week.
19:45
SPEAKER_02: I thank you.
19:46
SPEAKER_02: Believe me, it doesn't go without recognition.
19:49
SPEAKER_02: So I want to recognize you guys and gals for popping in.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be honest.
19:54
SPEAKER_00: Last week, you know, I ran a best of.
19:57
SPEAKER_00: And I really,
19:58
SPEAKER_00: honestly,
19:59
SPEAKER_00: I just kind of ran it so that they would have a chat room
20:01
SPEAKER_00: so it wouldn't be difficult.
20:03
SPEAKER_00: So I put up the chat room and I looked at the numbers.
20:06
SPEAKER_00: It was like.
20:08
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: It was like 1,400 or 1,500 views on an advertised We Won't Be Here week.
20:16
SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
20:17
SPEAKER_00: I was like, damn.
20:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's nice.
20:19
SPEAKER_00: That's pretty good on a show that literally we said we will not be live.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Right.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: And did good numbers.
20:26
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, thank you for that.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: That was definitely a little humbling.
20:29
SPEAKER_00: Because I usually go,
20:30
SPEAKER_00: when we do a Best Of, I usually go and look, and it'll be like 800 or something.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, ooh, boy, that sucks.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: But, you know, I looked this way.
20:37
SPEAKER_00: It was like 1480 or something.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: I was like, wow, not bad for a non-show.
20:43
SPEAKER_00: Pretty good.
20:44
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
20:45
SPEAKER_02: But other than,
20:47
SPEAKER_02: you know,
20:47
SPEAKER_02: the weekend adventure, you know, is back to daily business, you know, come Monday.
20:53
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, not a whole lot, you know, to report as far as, you know, Anything exciting.
21:01
SPEAKER_02: I don't think I even watched any TV this week either.
21:06
SPEAKER_02: It was pretty much work and home for me.
21:11
SPEAKER_02: Hanging out here, doing a little work in the studio today and getting ready for the show.
21:18
SPEAKER_02: I want to bring people a good show since we were away last week.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
21:23
SPEAKER_00: There's plenty to talk about, that's for sure.
21:26
SPEAKER_02: The one thing that was very cool,
21:28
SPEAKER_02: and I played it in the intro,
21:30
SPEAKER_02: was our good friend Jim Florentine giving the CMS a big old shout out.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: He did.
21:35
SPEAKER_00: Nice, big, long one, about 30, 40 seconds, just promoting the show.
21:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was a good one.
21:40
SPEAKER_02: I have it here.
21:41
SPEAKER_02: I could play a little bit of it.
21:43
SPEAKER_02: So Jim Florentine,
21:45
SPEAKER_02: comedian,
21:47
SPEAKER_02: if you're not aware,
21:49
SPEAKER_02: but I think most people are, you know, he was part of that metal show.
21:53
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
21:53
SPEAKER_02: For all the years.
21:54
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, he's been a fan of this show, surprising to both Chris and I when we found out.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
22:01
SPEAKER_02: And he likes us because of our sense of humor and our, quote-unquote, inappropriateness.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
22:07
SPEAKER_02: And so on and so forth.
22:09
SPEAKER_02: But I submitted a story for his Everybody's Awful podcast.
22:15
SPEAKER_02: Right.
22:16
SPEAKER_02: And he covered the story this week.
22:18
SPEAKER_02: Right.
22:19
SPEAKER_02: Just the preamble up to covering the story, he gave you and I a nice plug for the show.
22:25
SPEAKER_02: And well, here's what he had to say.
22:29
SPEAKER_01: Neely is a part of the classic metal show I told you guys about.
22:32
SPEAKER_01: Chris Akin and Neely do the show.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: They've been doing it for a long time.
22:35
SPEAKER_01: It's music, but they also do, you know, they talk in between and they release it as a podcast.
22:40
SPEAKER_01: Check it out,
22:40
SPEAKER_01: the classic metal show,
22:41
SPEAKER_01: because they've got kicked off a bunch of different platforms
22:44
SPEAKER_01: for saying inappropriate shit.
22:46
SPEAKER_01: If you like this podcast, you'll love them too.
22:48
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, they don't necessarily play the music on the podcast.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: They don't play the music on the podcast.
22:52
SPEAKER_01: They just talk in between about different shit and stuff,
22:54
SPEAKER_01: but they're very inappropriate and that's why I like them.
22:57
SPEAKER_01: It's called the classic metal show.
23:00
SPEAKER_02: They're very inappropriate.
23:01
SPEAKER_02: That's why I like them.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: I do love that.
23:05
SPEAKER_00: That's funny.
23:06
SPEAKER_02: So thanks, Jim.
23:07
SPEAKER_02: Appreciate it.
23:09
SPEAKER_00: That's really good.
23:10
SPEAKER_02: Appreciate the shout out.
23:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I love that.
23:12
SPEAKER_02: Glad the story I sent was podcast worthy.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: And if you're watching because of that, hello.
23:19
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
23:20
SPEAKER_02: So if you've found us because of Jim Florentine, let them know.
23:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: Say, hey, I listen to that.
23:26
SPEAKER_00: Those guys suck.
23:26
SPEAKER_00: What are you doing referring us to them?
23:29
SPEAKER_02: Well, as our one critique says, the classic metal show, they're just a bunch of dickheads.
23:37
SPEAKER_00: Not a lie.
23:39
SPEAKER_00: Definitely not a lie.
23:40
SPEAKER_02: We are just a bunch of dickheads.
23:43
SPEAKER_02: Pretty much, yeah.
23:46
SPEAKER_02: So what's happening in your world, Mr. Akin?
23:48
SPEAKER_02: Anything good?
23:49
SPEAKER_00: Well, it's been busy.
23:50
SPEAKER_00: I mean, and not just worky stuff.
23:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
23:54
SPEAKER_00: Probably the biggest thing that I did in the last two weeks,
23:57
SPEAKER_00: since we've been gone for two weeks,
23:58
SPEAKER_00: was I had talked about it last time we were live that I was going to be doing
24:03
SPEAKER_00: that interview,
24:04
SPEAKER_00: that live interview with Mark Mihaljevic,
24:07
SPEAKER_00: the father of Amy, who was murdered in 1989, a little 10-year-old kid.
24:12
SPEAKER_02: Right.
24:12
SPEAKER_00: And unsolved.
24:13
SPEAKER_00: And I did that.
24:14
SPEAKER_00: I did that out at Audio Bay,
24:16
SPEAKER_00: the studio that Billy has, and I'm sort of involved in on some level, I guess, but.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: You know,
24:23
SPEAKER_00: I went out there and did that interview,
24:27
SPEAKER_00: and I ain't gonna lie,
24:29
SPEAKER_00: it taught me really quickly that true crime is not in my future.
24:35
SPEAKER_02: How so?
24:36
SPEAKER_00: Oh my God, dude.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: My stomach was hurting.
24:41
SPEAKER_00: The first big interview I ever did that wasn't just a local band interview,
24:46
SPEAKER_00: way, way back a million years ago, was Bobby Brown.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: I interviewed Bobby Brown from New Edition.
24:53
SPEAKER_02: Right.
24:54
SPEAKER_00: And my stomach was absolutely twisting and turning and whatnot.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: And then maybe two or three months later,
25:02
SPEAKER_00: I interviewed Dio, which,
25:04
SPEAKER_00: as I've told many times,
25:06
SPEAKER_00: my gateway to heavy metal was Heaven and Hell, the Black Sabbath album.
25:12
SPEAKER_00: So to interview Dio got my stomach turning.
25:16
SPEAKER_02: What, like out of nerves?
25:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, out of nerves.
25:19
SPEAKER_00: Just out of nervousness and making sure I do a good job or whatever.
25:23
SPEAKER_00: And I really don't get that anymore.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty comfortable now, and I can talk to anybody.
25:31
SPEAKER_00: I just know that I know how to do it,
25:35
SPEAKER_00: so I don't get nervous that I'm not going to have anything to ask or whatever.
25:40
SPEAKER_00: My stomach was doing backflips going into this fucking interview.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: Because,
25:46
SPEAKER_00: and I mean,
25:47
SPEAKER_00: it makes sense,
25:48
SPEAKER_00: but at the same time, it's like, dude, you've interviewed 5,000 fucking people.
25:52
SPEAKER_00: You should not be this nervous.
25:54
SPEAKER_00: But I've always had that thing where if I get into a hotspot with somebody,
26:00
SPEAKER_00: I could tell a joke and pull out of it.
26:01
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
26:02
SPEAKER_00: I could just kind of, oh, you know, I'm just fucking with you, you know, or whatever.
26:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sure.
26:08
SPEAKER_02: It's a transitional thing.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
26:10
SPEAKER_00: But it's a quick, easy.
26:12
SPEAKER_00: You just know it off the top of your head.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: You kind of know when you go in with a hard question what you're going to say
26:18
SPEAKER_00: to get out of it if you have to.
26:20
SPEAKER_00: And it comes from doing it a million times.
26:23
SPEAKER_00: Couldn't do that with this.
26:25
SPEAKER_00: What fucking joke am I going to tell to a guy who had his kids slaughtered?
26:32
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, how do I joke about that?
26:34
SPEAKER_00: How do I tell it?
26:35
SPEAKER_00: Although I did get off one joke about being the volunteer and to be the first one
26:40
SPEAKER_00: to donate a carton of cigarettes to anybody that welcomes this guy
26:43
SPEAKER_00: if they catch him.
26:45
SPEAKER_00: You know, I threw that out there and everybody laughed around the table.
26:49
SPEAKER_00: But I mean, other than that, it was very serious and it was very...
26:54
SPEAKER_00: It was very difficult, but I think it came out pretty good.
26:57
SPEAKER_00: Everybody that saw it, the reaction was real good.
26:59
SPEAKER_00: The family was happy.
27:01
SPEAKER_00: And that was really all I cared about.
27:03
SPEAKER_00: I really didn't give a shit if it did a bunch of views or not or whatever.
27:07
SPEAKER_00: And if people liked it or hated it,
27:09
SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to do a good job for the family because they're trying to raise money
27:14
SPEAKER_00: for this DNA test that they need to get to catch this fucking creep.
27:20
SPEAKER_02: Assuming he's still alive.
27:22
SPEAKER_00: Well...
27:24
SPEAKER_00: I'll tell you tomorrow.
27:25
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
27:26
SPEAKER_02: I'll tell you tomorrow.
27:27
SPEAKER_00: There's things I now know that I should not say on the air, and I will not.
27:31
SPEAKER_00: Fair enough.
27:32
SPEAKER_00: But, yeah, to your point, yes.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: Assuming he's still alive, yes.
27:40
SPEAKER_00: There's hope to put his ass in jail,
27:42
SPEAKER_00: even if it's for a year,
27:44
SPEAKER_00: just so he takes a beating every single fucking day of that time.
27:47
SPEAKER_00: Because as you're well aware,
27:49
SPEAKER_00: prisoners do not like fucking children, people that fuck with children.
27:54
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, so I did that.
27:57
SPEAKER_00: And then I guess the other big thing was after 35 years,
28:01
SPEAKER_00: I finally went to the doctor and did all the doctory stuff.
28:07
SPEAKER_00: And it was not the bad experience I expected.
28:11
SPEAKER_00: I know I had heard horror stories about the VA.
28:15
SPEAKER_00: About just how bad it is to go to the VA and get a doctor's appointment
28:19
SPEAKER_00: and blood work and all this other shit.
28:22
SPEAKER_00: So I was horrified by that.
28:25
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, as I told you this afternoon, I just thought it was going to be bad.
28:31
SPEAKER_00: You know, I know my health.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: I know I'm not in great shape.
28:34
SPEAKER_00: In fact, I know I'm in bad shape.
28:36
SPEAKER_00: You know, I assumed that they were going to say, well, you're diabetic or you're got...
28:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, colon cancer, prostate cancer, whatever the fuck.
28:48
SPEAKER_00: And stunningly, almost everything was normal.
28:53
SPEAKER_00: The only things that I came back bad on were vitamin D deficiency.
28:59
SPEAKER_00: And that makes sense because I live like a fucking prisoner in solitary confinement.
29:04
SPEAKER_00: I never see the sun.
29:06
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, that made sense.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: And then cholesterol was like four points high.
29:14
SPEAKER_00: Which, you know,
29:15
SPEAKER_00: that could have been lunch that day before or dinner the night before
29:18
SPEAKER_00: or something could have been that.
29:20
SPEAKER_00: So everything else, okay.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: You know, no real things.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: Everything was smooth.
29:26
SPEAKER_00: Did the blood work.
29:27
SPEAKER_00: Everything came back okay.
29:30
SPEAKER_00: Now I'm going to go to the next level and I have like 10 more appointments booked.
29:35
SPEAKER_00: Now that I've seen that it's not a pain in the dick, I booked a bunch more.
29:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to get my ear fixed because this ear that I cannot hear from, where the fuck?
29:45
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to get a hearing aid or surgery or whatever the fuck I need to get.
29:50
SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to get some new glasses because...
29:55
SPEAKER_00: I figured it out.
29:56
SPEAKER_00: This pair of glasses that I have right here that you almost never see me wear,
30:00
SPEAKER_00: that I'm absolutely supposed to wear all the time, I got 27 years ago.
30:07
SPEAKER_00: And I've never been back for even an update on the prescription.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
30:12
SPEAKER_00: So they don't work quite as well as they used to.
30:15
SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to go.
30:16
SPEAKER_00: I have an appointment for that.
30:18
SPEAKER_00: I've got...
30:19
SPEAKER_00: I talked them into putting me in the fat fuck program,
30:22
SPEAKER_00: which is kind of going against what I said before.
30:26
SPEAKER_00: But you guys are going to see me doing my jelly roll impression here in
30:30
SPEAKER_00: the next couple of months because I'm going to go ahead and go for it.
30:34
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if I'm doing surgery or just Ozempic shots in the belly or whatever
30:40
SPEAKER_00: the fuck I'm doing, but they offered it.
30:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm doing it.
30:43
SPEAKER_00: I just am like, you know what?
30:45
SPEAKER_00: Kind of like we said two weeks ago on the show.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: I really kind of am in a place now where I don't want to be dead now.
30:53
SPEAKER_00: I kind of want to live a little bit longer.
30:55
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
30:55
SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to do the things that I need to do.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: And one of them is obviously to lose, you know, 150 plus pounds.
31:01
SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to do it.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to let them, if they need to, I'll let them carve me up and cut it off.
31:07
SPEAKER_00: Or if not that, they could do the shots, whatever.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
31:10
SPEAKER_00: I'm not afraid of surgery, so I don't give a fuck.
31:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.

32:37
SPEAKER_00: But yeah,
32:39
SPEAKER_00: that was just good and You know, I mean,
32:42
SPEAKER_00: in my world,
32:43
SPEAKER_00: for me to be out and about two different times in the same little period
32:47
SPEAKER_00: of time is something new.
32:48
SPEAKER_00: So working on that as well, man.

SPEAKER_00: Demon says, when you're hungry, just drink a lot of water.
33:03
SPEAKER_00: If still hungry, make a sin.
33:05
SPEAKER_00: I am on...
33:07
SPEAKER_00: This is the end of the fourth week of the fasting.
33:14
SPEAKER_00: We talked about it before, the intermittent fasting.
33:18
SPEAKER_00: I'm down a little over 30, 35 pounds or something.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: I feel good.
33:25
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't bug me anymore.
33:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm drinking a shit ton of water, I will say.
33:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm drinking three of these a day, plus coffee, plus maybe a thing of iced tea in the middle.
33:36
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm on it.
33:39
SPEAKER_00: I'm working it.
33:39
SPEAKER_00: No cheats in a month.
33:42
SPEAKER_00: Which for me,
33:42
SPEAKER_00: for a fat fuck like me to literally have no cheats in a month,
33:45
SPEAKER_00: that is something new.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: So I'm working on it.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm working on a lot of things.
33:50
SPEAKER_00: I'm working on getting my fucking health in order a little bit.
33:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm trying.
33:55
SPEAKER_00: So there we are.
33:56
SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of everything that I did.
33:58
SPEAKER_00: All the rest of it was just work.
34:00
SPEAKER_00: Right.
34:00
SPEAKER_00: I will tell you one interview I did that was fun.
34:04
SPEAKER_00: I interviewed the new singer of Asia.
34:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know you were talking about,
34:10
SPEAKER_02: you know,
34:10
SPEAKER_02: kind of being excited about that because you had a change of heart on
34:14
SPEAKER_02: the new record.
34:16
SPEAKER_00: I did.
34:17
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm not going to lie.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: We watched that one video and both of us were like, what is this?
34:22
SPEAKER_00: It just looked like some local band hanging out at the airport.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: You know, and...
34:30
SPEAKER_00: I just was like, I had the opportunity to talk to him.
34:33
SPEAKER_00: And of course, Jeff Downs doesn't want to do any interviews.
34:36
SPEAKER_00: So I was like, well, let me talk to the singer.
34:39
SPEAKER_00: And I mean, this singer sounds exactly like John Whetton.
34:44
SPEAKER_00: When you listen to the album,
34:45
SPEAKER_00: especially when you listen to the album,
34:47
SPEAKER_00: it's one thing to hear a song and you're like, okay, that fits.
34:50
SPEAKER_00: When you hear the whole album and you hear the inflections and you hear
34:53
SPEAKER_00: the way he presents music, he's exactly the same.
34:58
SPEAKER_00: And he's a young guy.
34:59
SPEAKER_00: I think he told me he was 30.
35:00
SPEAKER_00: Like, he's young, so he doesn't remember Asia.
35:03
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean,
35:04
SPEAKER_00: Asia was probably 15 years over by the time he heard him,
35:08
SPEAKER_00: let alone joining the band.
35:10
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
35:10
SPEAKER_00: I mean, when did Asia run out of hits?
35:13
SPEAKER_00: 85?
35:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it was in the mid to late 80s.
35:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, the last hit I think they had was that song, Go, Get Up and Go.
35:22
SPEAKER_00: Right.
35:23
SPEAKER_00: From the Asia 3 record.
35:24
SPEAKER_00: But, you know...
35:27
SPEAKER_00: He was very, very cool.
35:29
SPEAKER_00: We really got along pretty well.
35:31
SPEAKER_00: We were just telling a lot of jokes and fucking with each other and whatnot.
35:35
SPEAKER_00: He was a good dude.
35:36
SPEAKER_02: Is he British or what is he?
35:39
SPEAKER_00: He's British.
35:40
SPEAKER_00: I think British, either British or Australian.
35:42
SPEAKER_00: He had that accent, whatever that accent is.
35:45
SPEAKER_00: I think he's British.
35:47
SPEAKER_00: But he's great.
35:49
SPEAKER_00: He was really, really great.
35:50
SPEAKER_00: And not just because I interviewed him,
35:52
SPEAKER_00: but I'm telling you guys,
35:53
SPEAKER_00: when this Indigo record comes out,
35:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't think it's out until October or November or something.
35:58
SPEAKER_00: But when you guys hear it,
35:59
SPEAKER_00: if you liked the first two Asia records,
36:02
SPEAKER_00: Asia Asia or Asia Astra, or Alpha, not Astra.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: Astra was the third.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: If you like those two records, you'll like this new one.
36:11
SPEAKER_00: It's really, really good.
36:12
SPEAKER_00: So...
36:13
SPEAKER_00: But he was really cool.
36:14
SPEAKER_00: So that was pretty cool to chat with him.
36:17
SPEAKER_00: And I talked to a few others that I cannot even remember at this point.
36:21
SPEAKER_00: It's, you know, it's been days now, so I don't remember who else I fucking talked to.
36:27
SPEAKER_02: So he's the he's the Arnell Panetta Kelly Hansen of Asia.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: He is.
36:32
SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
36:33
SPEAKER_00: He could probably if they could find a way to spin that somehow,
36:36
SPEAKER_00: they should hire foreigners management.
36:39
SPEAKER_00: Because it's kind of the same thing.
36:43
SPEAKER_00: And an all-star band.
36:45
SPEAKER_00: I know they got,
36:46
SPEAKER_00: forget who the guitar player is,
36:47
SPEAKER_00: but he's somebody too, like in that instrumental world.
36:51
SPEAKER_00: But the drummer's that Virgil Donati, and he's a goddamn legend.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: Anybody that knows like fusion drumming and prog drumming,
36:58
SPEAKER_00: Virgil Donati is like top, top of the food chain as a drummer.
37:03
SPEAKER_00: So it's a talented band.
37:05
SPEAKER_00: Very, very good stuff, man.
37:08
SPEAKER_00: Everybody's laughing.
37:09
SPEAKER_00: You can't see it,
37:10
SPEAKER_00: but if you go to Rumble,
37:12
SPEAKER_00: if you go to our thing,
37:14
SPEAKER_00: everybody's liking the background that I put on the show tonight.
37:21
SPEAKER_00: I made a fake twisted sister thing.
37:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I see the Sebastian Bach thing, yeah.
37:30
SPEAKER_00: With the old people with oxygen tanks watching it.
37:36
SPEAKER_00: I was just fucking around today.
37:38
SPEAKER_02: Sure.
37:38
SPEAKER_00: Just in a silly mood.
37:39
SPEAKER_00: I was like,
37:41
SPEAKER_00: I want to see some fat old singer with a bunch of really old people with walkers
37:47
SPEAKER_00: that have patches on them.
37:49
SPEAKER_00: And you can't really see it unless you really look at it.
37:51
SPEAKER_00: But all of the guys that are sitting there in their jean jackets, they're all wearing patches.
37:56
SPEAKER_00: You know,
37:57
SPEAKER_00: like heavy metal patches,
37:59
SPEAKER_00: but they say shit like Herman and the Hermits and fucking Blue Cheer and stuff.
38:06
SPEAKER_00: The one guy has a Black Sabbath flavor Flav clock on.
38:13
SPEAKER_02: It would be the Scott Clark crowd.
38:16
SPEAKER_00: Yes, exactly right.
38:19
SPEAKER_00: I was just playing around.
38:20
SPEAKER_00: I was like, oh, that's funny.
38:24
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's cool.
38:25
SPEAKER_02: I mean, you know,
38:28
SPEAKER_02: it's kind of interesting when you stumble across a record that you were kind
38:36
SPEAKER_02: of doubtful about, and then you're just like, strangely enough, I like this.
38:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
38:42
SPEAKER_00: Well, just New Asia is really good for people that like Asia.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: I know that's not,
38:48
SPEAKER_00: it's probably not most of the people in our crowd here,
38:50
SPEAKER_00: but, you know, if you do, if you do, it's a good record.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: And if you don't, well, listen to my interview anyway, you fuckers.
38:57
SPEAKER_00: You might like that anyway.
39:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
39:01
SPEAKER_02: Well, one thing I would like to see.
39:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
39:04
SPEAKER_02: And again, it's people who are part of the CMS Locals page.
39:11
SPEAKER_02: I mean, you post a lot of content over there.
39:14
SPEAKER_02: You know,
39:14
SPEAKER_02: obviously the episodes from this show as well as your interviews
39:18
SPEAKER_02: and various other things.
39:20
SPEAKER_02: One thing I notice over there is...
39:24
SPEAKER_02: There isn't a whole lot of interaction with the fans as far as like comments or,
39:29
SPEAKER_02: you know, that kind of stuff.
39:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, there's a little,
39:32
SPEAKER_00: but there's not,
39:34
SPEAKER_00: you know,
39:34
SPEAKER_00: considering we have,
39:35
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what we have,
39:38
SPEAKER_00: I think 865 members, there's not a lot of chatter in there, but.
39:41
SPEAKER_00: Right, right.
39:43
SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
39:44
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's not,
39:46
SPEAKER_02: you know,
39:46
SPEAKER_02: only if you really need to have something to say, but obviously it's just like, huh.
39:51
SPEAKER_02: You put a lot of stuff out there and it doesn't get a lot of reaction, I guess.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't, but you know what?
39:58
SPEAKER_00: A lot of people do,
40:01
SPEAKER_00: and I wish they would do it in the local so everybody else could communicate
40:06
SPEAKER_00: as well,
40:07
SPEAKER_00: but a lot of people see the stuff and then they'll message me on another platform.
40:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I got you.
40:12
SPEAKER_00: So they'll see that I post something up,
40:15
SPEAKER_00: whatever it is,
40:16
SPEAKER_00: and they'll hit me on Facebook Messenger and be like, dude, that was really funny.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: And it's like, well, mine is just posted in Locals.
40:23
SPEAKER_00: I'll see it.
40:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I will see it.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm obviously there.
40:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm really not on Facebook very much anymore.
40:30
SPEAKER_00: I only use the platforms that support us, and that is not Facebook.
40:34
SPEAKER_02: Right, right.
40:36
SPEAKER_00: Really, the only place that I do interact online is Locals.
40:43
SPEAKER_00: And I do interact there a lot.
40:45
SPEAKER_00: I mean, say what you want about the Locals page.
40:50
SPEAKER_00: It's active.
40:55
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of people that do these kind of things with like a Locals or a Patreon
41:02
SPEAKER_00: or whatever.
41:03
SPEAKER_00: And the only time they put up anything is when it's a paid thing.
41:07
SPEAKER_00: And I would say I probably put up four or five or six posts every single day, don't you think?
41:13
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
41:14
SPEAKER_02: There's plenty of stuff up there.
41:15
SPEAKER_02: I usually peruse through there a little bit prior to the show.
41:19
SPEAKER_02: I don't typically look at it during the week or anything,
41:22
SPEAKER_02: but I'll just see what's going on a Saturday before the show and just see what's
41:30
SPEAKER_02: the latest and the greatest because obviously I get all the email notifications
41:36
SPEAKER_02: when you post something over there,
41:38
SPEAKER_02: so I know that you put something up,
41:39
SPEAKER_02: but I'd just like to see what's going on now and again and
41:44
SPEAKER_02: You know,
41:45
SPEAKER_02: because I'm not big into the social media,
41:48
SPEAKER_02: but since it's our show specifically,
41:51
SPEAKER_02: you know,
41:52
SPEAKER_02: I'll get in there and I'll make a comment now and again,
41:54
SPEAKER_02: but it's about it, you know.
41:58
SPEAKER_00: Look at Fuego.
41:59
SPEAKER_00: Chris is crazy active on Locals.
42:01
SPEAKER_00: I have one sub where everything is paid.
42:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean,
42:08
SPEAKER_00: the way I kind of do it is if it's general news that I'm going to put like also on X
42:14
SPEAKER_00: or something, I won't lock it down.
42:17
SPEAKER_00: But a lot of times,
42:18
SPEAKER_00: and I mean a lot of times, I do, like I just ask the fans for opinions on stuff.
42:26
SPEAKER_00: I'll get a record or something and I will tell you,
42:30
SPEAKER_00: and this is,
42:30
SPEAKER_00: you know, it's not a sales pitch, but it's just a, hey, this is what I do.
42:35
SPEAKER_00: A lot of times I'll throw up a song that some publicist is asking me to interview
42:40
SPEAKER_00: the band,
42:41
SPEAKER_00: you know,
42:41
SPEAKER_00: because I get asked all the time about,
42:43
SPEAKER_00: hey, could you do this for me or could you do that for me or whatever?
42:46
SPEAKER_00: And I'm, you know, I'm pretty amiable to doing all that stuff.
42:50
SPEAKER_00: You know,
42:50
SPEAKER_00: I'm happy to help the publicists anyway,
42:54
SPEAKER_00: but I don't like to do it if I know our fans are going to hate it.
42:57
SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
42:59
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to do it if it's something that I don't like for one thing,
43:02
SPEAKER_00: but I'm also not going to do it if If I like it and the fans are all like,
43:07
SPEAKER_00: this fucking blows,
43:10
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to waste my time because I know nobody's going to listen to it
43:13
SPEAKER_00: or watch it.
43:16
SPEAKER_00: And so a lot of times I'll take a video from that band and I'll throw it in there
43:20
SPEAKER_00: on Locals and I'll just be like, what do y'all think?
43:23
SPEAKER_00: Do you want me to do this interview or not?
43:25
SPEAKER_00: And they respond and then I kind of act off of that.
43:28
SPEAKER_00: A lot of times, too, I get news from the fans.
43:32
SPEAKER_00: When we talk about the Skid Row thing tonight,
43:35
SPEAKER_00: and I'll give credit where credit's due, this goes to John Phillips.
43:39
SPEAKER_00: John Phillips,
43:40
SPEAKER_00: probably 10 seconds after the show ended last night,
43:44
SPEAKER_00: had a YouTube video posted in the Locals.
43:47
SPEAKER_00: And that's where I'm going to get the YouTube video to show when we start talking
43:50
SPEAKER_00: about that later on.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: So...
43:53
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, locals is fun.
43:55
SPEAKER_00: For me, it's fun, and it's fine.
43:57
SPEAKER_00: And if people want to get in there and get more active, cool.
43:59
SPEAKER_00: You know, I try to interact with everybody that does throw things in there.
44:04
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's not a comment.
44:05
SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it's just a like or something.
44:08
SPEAKER_00: Because a lot of times they do post shit that I really don't give two fucks about.
44:12
SPEAKER_00: But, you know, I'll still react to it or try to...
44:17
SPEAKER_00: Offered opinion.
44:18
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes, you know, like I forget who it is in the chat room.
44:21
SPEAKER_00: They mentioned it right now, but I'll post things that just people forgot.
44:25
SPEAKER_00: Like this morning I was listening.
44:28
SPEAKER_00: I've been in like kind of this 90s kick this week,
44:30
SPEAKER_00: listening to a bunch of 90s Candlebox and Sponge and,
44:36
SPEAKER_00: you know, those types of bands, Pearl Jam, whatever.
44:39
SPEAKER_00: And I threw in this one Candlebox album,
44:41
SPEAKER_00: the third Candlebox record, which is called Happy Pills.
44:45
SPEAKER_00: And immediately,
44:46
SPEAKER_00: I forget who it was,
44:47
SPEAKER_00: again, in the chat room, but they said, oh, my God, I forgot all about this.
44:51
SPEAKER_00: And, you know, that's so cool that you posted it and reminded me.
44:54
SPEAKER_00: I'll read it for you.
44:55
SPEAKER_00: Let me see.
44:56
SPEAKER_00: Where's the comment?
44:58
SPEAKER_00: Comment is,
44:59
SPEAKER_00: I have not listened to this one that I can recall,
45:01
SPEAKER_00: but have heard others say it's great.
45:04
SPEAKER_00: The second album was a bit of a clunker for me.
45:06
SPEAKER_00: First album is fantastic, top to bottom, blah, blah, blah.
45:08
SPEAKER_00: And it goes on and on.
45:10
SPEAKER_00: And I answered that as well.
45:11
SPEAKER_00: And that was...
45:13
SPEAKER_00: Fuego, Fuego said that.
45:16
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, Fuego, who's a regular in there, you know, he got something out of Locals.
45:24
SPEAKER_00: And that was a Locals locked post or a supporter only post or whatever.
45:29
SPEAKER_00: Because I was just throwing it up there as an opinion.
45:31
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't news or anything.
45:32
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I figured these guys are paying money to hear what kind of stupid shit I'm saying.
45:39
SPEAKER_00: So I'll let them be the only ones to hear the stupid shit I'm saying.
45:45
SPEAKER_00: Makes sense.
45:46
SPEAKER_02: All right.
45:47

SPEAKER_02: And that,
47:56
SPEAKER_02: of course,
47:57
SPEAKER_02: is the new Parabellum from Testament,

SPEAKER_02: And I want to welcome back to the show after a many,
49:51
SPEAKER_02: many, many year hiatus, my good friend, Jamie St. James.
49:56
SPEAKER_02: What's going on, Jamie?
49:58
SPEAKER_02: Yo, how's it going, my good buddy Neely?
50:01
SPEAKER_02: How are you?
50:02
SPEAKER_02: It's been a long time.
50:03
SPEAKER_02: You don't have to shout at us, though, Jamie.
50:05
SPEAKER_02: Oh, am I yelling?
50:09
SPEAKER_02: I know you're excited to be on the almighty classic metal show,
50:13
SPEAKER_02: and we're excited to have you back after a lot of years.
50:16
SPEAKER_02: I think the last time I had you on the show was,
50:19
SPEAKER_02: shoot, I think it was when we had Lon Friend in the studio.
50:24
SPEAKER_03: I don't even remember, but it's good to be back.
50:29
SPEAKER_02: Well, Jamie,
50:30
SPEAKER_02: we reconnected here a little while ago because I asked you to do a little cameo in
50:36
SPEAKER_02: the upcoming 30th anniversary book for the Classic Metal Show because you
50:41
SPEAKER_02: and I have some history that goes back to Cleveland.
50:46
SPEAKER_02: Uh, about 25 years ago.
50:49
SPEAKER_02: And, uh,
50:50
SPEAKER_02: you know,
50:50
SPEAKER_02: just a little backstory for the new fans who maybe don't know the story,
50:55
SPEAKER_02: but, uh, I just happened to run into you at a docking show at the Cleveland Agora.
51:01
SPEAKER_02: And it was just a strange coincidence that you had just recently moved into the area.
51:06
SPEAKER_02: And it was like, what are you doing here?
51:09
SPEAKER_02: So I'll let you tell the story of how you ended up in the Cleveland area.
51:14
SPEAKER_03: Well, I,
51:14
SPEAKER_03: you know, uh,
51:16
SPEAKER_03: Essentially,
51:17
SPEAKER_03: I had a girlfriend at the time that was from there and I was looking to buy a house
51:23
SPEAKER_03: in California and I went to visit Cleveland at Christmas time and I decided to look
51:29
SPEAKER_03: at houses and I found this house for so cheap,
51:32
SPEAKER_03: seven acres and out in the middle of nowhere really, but it was a snow belt.
51:36
SPEAKER_03: But anyway,
51:38
SPEAKER_03: I got this house and I just decided to do it and I I think that night at Dock
51:44
SPEAKER_03: and I saw Billy Morris playing guitar and I said, you're going to be in my band.
51:48
SPEAKER_03: I knew I was going to put a band together there and got an RV and just did all
51:51
SPEAKER_03: that kind of stuff.
51:52
SPEAKER_03: But it's so funny because I was right down the street from where you did the show, really.
51:57
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
51:59
SPEAKER_02: It wasn't very, very far from the radio station.
52:01
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, meeting you was very cool.
52:05
SPEAKER_02: It was completely unexpected.
52:07
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was just like, why are you here?
52:10
SPEAKER_02: You know, it was very strange, you know.
52:12
SPEAKER_02: And at the time, you know, you agreed to...
52:18
SPEAKER_02: Allow me to interview you for the Music's Bottom Line magazine,
52:22
SPEAKER_02: which my partner Chris here owned at the time.
52:25
SPEAKER_02: That's right.
52:26
SPEAKER_02: And that's actually how I met Chris was because of his magazine, Music's Bottom Line.
52:32
SPEAKER_02: And, you know,
52:34
SPEAKER_02: you allowed me to come out to your house and interview you and get
52:38
SPEAKER_02: a nice interview put into his magazine at the time.
52:41
SPEAKER_02: And I still have a copy of that magazine.
52:44
SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
52:44
SPEAKER_03: Awesome.
52:45
SPEAKER_03: You know,
52:45
SPEAKER_03: it's funny when I was in the airport,
52:47
SPEAKER_03: when I Finally, I had a moving company take my stuff out and I flew to Cleveland.
52:53
SPEAKER_03: I was in the airport waiting for my bags.
52:55
SPEAKER_03: Standing next to me was Janie Lane waiting for his bag.
52:59
SPEAKER_03: He says, what are you doing here?
53:00
SPEAKER_03: I said, I'm going to live here.
53:04
SPEAKER_03: The first thing he said was, oh, the mistake by the lake.
53:08
SPEAKER_03: Welcome, you know.
53:10
SPEAKER_03: But it was kind of funny.
53:11
SPEAKER_03: I go, well, that's weird.
53:12
SPEAKER_03: He was living in Ohio at that time, I guess.
53:15
SPEAKER_03: But I did end up hanging out with Jamie.
53:17
SPEAKER_03: We hung out a little bit.
53:18
SPEAKER_02: And then you took over a warrant there for a while.
53:22
SPEAKER_03: I did.
53:23
SPEAKER_03: I did for almost four years.
53:26
SPEAKER_02: Right.
53:27
SPEAKER_02: So it's just a very strange circle of life,
53:31
SPEAKER_02: you know,
53:32
SPEAKER_02: when it comes to this music business,
53:34
SPEAKER_02: you know,
53:35
SPEAKER_02: who you know,
53:36
SPEAKER_02: who you run into,
53:37
SPEAKER_02: who you stay in contact with,
53:39
SPEAKER_02: the incestuousness of the music business being that you,
53:45
SPEAKER_02: you know,
53:45
SPEAKER_02: mentioned seeing Janie Lane in the airport and,
53:48
SPEAKER_02: you know, he lived in the Akron, Ohio area, which is where he was from.
53:53
SPEAKER_02: And he and I went to rival high schools, actually.
53:56
SPEAKER_02: So, and kind of strange.
53:59
SPEAKER_02: And then, of course, I met Chris.
54:01
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, here we are 30 years later.
54:03
SPEAKER_02: And here you are back on the show after a quarter century.
54:08
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
54:08
SPEAKER_03: And I remember coming down to the show.
54:11
SPEAKER_03: It was in the first or second time I did.
54:13
SPEAKER_03: I was there for a long time.
54:14
SPEAKER_03: I was there all night.
54:15
SPEAKER_03: I was in the studio with you all, I think, all night.
54:17
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
54:18
SPEAKER_02: You brought me the whole black and blue catalog,
54:20
SPEAKER_02: and we told stories and played black and blue music and all kinds of great things.
54:25
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it was fun.
54:25
SPEAKER_03: I was there until the wee hours.
54:27
SPEAKER_03: It was great.
54:29
SPEAKER_02: Absolutely.
54:30
SPEAKER_00: Right on.
54:31
SPEAKER_00: Well, Jamie,
54:33
SPEAKER_00: as somebody that's not,
54:34
SPEAKER_00: that's just more of a fan than anything, I got to ask you about you right now.
54:40
SPEAKER_00: You know, because I'm a little confused, as I'm sure a lot of fans are right now.
54:45
SPEAKER_00: You released black and blue music.
54:47
SPEAKER_00: Without Tommy, then you release Tommy and You that's not Black and Blue.
54:55
SPEAKER_00: Where are we at?
54:55
SPEAKER_00: Are these two projects?
54:57
SPEAKER_00: Are these maybe going to become one thing?
54:59
SPEAKER_00: I mean, where are we at musically right now?
55:02
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's kind of odd.
55:04
SPEAKER_03: So Black and Blue released Lifeline, a video for it.
55:08
SPEAKER_03: That must be what you're referring to.
55:11
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it's two songs that we recorded.
55:15
SPEAKER_03: And we put them out, Black and Blue, and we did this cool video on our rooftop and everything.
55:22
SPEAKER_03: Before Black and Blue decided to even do that, Tommy and I were working on new music.
55:28
SPEAKER_03: So it's two separate projects.
55:30
SPEAKER_03: Patrick Young, his idea to go in and record, and I said, why?
55:35
SPEAKER_03: And he said, I want to just make some noise.
55:37
SPEAKER_03: And I said, you know what?
55:39
SPEAKER_03: Let's do it.
55:40
SPEAKER_03: It was just two separate things.
55:42
SPEAKER_03: And I told him then, I said, you know, me and Tommy are going to do something here soon.
55:45
SPEAKER_03: And he didn't know it.
55:46
SPEAKER_03: And so I just said, I want to make sure you understand that.
55:48
SPEAKER_03: So it is a little confusing, but Tommy doesn't have any intentions of joining Black and Blue.
55:55
SPEAKER_03: This is a project that just him and I do.
55:58
SPEAKER_03: Because we can write whatever we want.
56:00
SPEAKER_03: It's Thayer St. James.
56:02
SPEAKER_03: We can write the stuff that just makes us happy, you know.
56:05
SPEAKER_03: So there's no preconceived black and blue kind of thing about it.
56:09
SPEAKER_03: And Tommy loves us.
56:11
SPEAKER_03: I love Tommy.
56:11
SPEAKER_03: He's my best friend.
56:12
SPEAKER_03: So anytime we play and he's around,
56:15
SPEAKER_03: he'll come up and jam with us on stage and that kind of thing.
56:17
SPEAKER_03: But, you know, he is still Kisses guitarist, even though they don't do a lot.
56:22
SPEAKER_03: He is that.
56:23
SPEAKER_03: So he's not going to join black and blue.
56:24
SPEAKER_03: So it's two different things.
56:26
SPEAKER_00: Right on.
56:27
SPEAKER_00: Is it difficult?
56:29
SPEAKER_00: And difficult is probably the wrong word, but you guys have always been associated with KISS.
56:34
SPEAKER_00: All the way back,
56:35
SPEAKER_00: you know,
56:35
SPEAKER_00: it's obviously famous that Gene found you guys or discovered you guys or whatnot.
56:40
SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, Tommy...
56:41
SPEAKER_00: Was in the camp doing the web work and whatever, and then he ends up in the band.
56:46
SPEAKER_00: There's always been that KISS connection.
56:49
SPEAKER_00: Has that been past the initial signing, once you stretched out onto your own?
56:55
SPEAKER_00: Was that a hindrance because everybody was always comparing you to KISS
56:59
SPEAKER_00: and always saying black and blue in the same sentence as KISS?
57:03
SPEAKER_00: Or was that obviously helpful because KISS was...
57:07
SPEAKER_00: At the top of the mountain,
57:08
SPEAKER_00: the kings of the mountain, as they say, and you guys were kind of their protégés.
57:13
SPEAKER_00: So I imagine maybe a little of both?
57:16
SPEAKER_03: Well, we didn't meet anybody in KISS until 1985, but we were signed in 1983.
57:24
SPEAKER_03: So our first album was recorded by Dieter Dirks in Germany.
57:28
SPEAKER_03: Our second album was Bruce Fairbairn, Bob Rock, and Mike Fraser in Canada.
57:34
SPEAKER_03: But because of the Without Love album in 1985, we got the KISS tour.
57:40
SPEAKER_03: So that's when KISS kind of came into our life really.
57:44
SPEAKER_03: And towards the end of that tour,
57:47
SPEAKER_03: I actually thought of asking Gene to produce us because at
57:51
SPEAKER_03: the time I wanted somebody on our side,
57:54
SPEAKER_03: rather than the producer being on the label side,
57:56
SPEAKER_03: commercial, commercial, you know, I gotta be a hit.
57:58
SPEAKER_03: So that's when we did Nasty Nasty with Gene.
58:02
SPEAKER_03: To answer your question, I don't think it's ever hindered us at all.
58:06
SPEAKER_03: I love the guys in KISS.
58:09
SPEAKER_03: We're friendly with them.
58:10
SPEAKER_03: I went to the last shows.
58:12
SPEAKER_03: Tommy flew me out to the Madison Square Garden for the last two shows of The End of the Road.
58:17
SPEAKER_03: And I'm backstage with them and hanging out.
58:21
SPEAKER_03: We've always been tight.
58:23
SPEAKER_03: I'm especially tight with Gene, obviously, because he produced two records.
58:26
SPEAKER_03: But it's always been good.
58:28
SPEAKER_03: And Tommy works out very well for Tommy.
58:33
SPEAKER_02: No kidding.
58:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, let's talk about this little EP there.
58:39
SPEAKER_02: Here it is.
58:40
SPEAKER_02: You've been very kind about sending that out.
58:42
SPEAKER_02: So if you want to go pick this up, first of all, Jamie, where can people get this?
58:48
SPEAKER_03: There's only one place you can get it.
58:50
SPEAKER_03: ThayerStJames.com.
58:52
SPEAKER_03: There is no streaming.
58:54
SPEAKER_03: We don't do that.
58:55
SPEAKER_03: It's a physical product.
58:56
SPEAKER_03: You can get bombshell on CDs only worldwide anywhere.
59:01
SPEAKER_03: We ship it right to you and you can get On record,
59:04
SPEAKER_03: an album, side bombshells, side the Lost Tapes.
59:08
SPEAKER_03: It's something that Tommy,
59:10
SPEAKER_03: the first thing Tommy and I did is they are St. James, it's called the Lost Tapes.
59:13
SPEAKER_03: It was the tapes that we did in 1989 when Black and Blue was ending.
59:17
SPEAKER_03: It was the last songs Tommy and I wrote and recorded together.
59:20
SPEAKER_03: So we saved them, barely.
59:24
SPEAKER_03: All the tapes were disintegrating, but we found a DAT tape and We saved it.
59:30
SPEAKER_03: So the record, the album is 11 songs, both those projects on one record.
59:36
SPEAKER_03: And you can get all that at BayerStJames.com.
59:39
SPEAKER_03: And it's, you know, the plombshell is all brand new music written in 2025, recorded in 2025.
59:47
SPEAKER_03: It's basically just me and Tommy.
59:48
SPEAKER_03: I'm playing all the drums.
59:50
SPEAKER_03: But we wrote songs that we just wanted to That made us happy.
59:54
SPEAKER_03: And I miss the recording studio so much.
59:57
SPEAKER_03: I love recording.
59:58
SPEAKER_03: I miss making records.
1:00:00
SPEAKER_03: So it's been just a blast and a pleasure for me, for sure.

1:00:35
SPEAKER_02: Well, I noticed there's a lot of 70s influences on these songs.
1:00:40
SPEAKER_02: Like the song Bombshell kind of reminds me of like Run, Run, Run Away from Slade in a way.
1:00:47
SPEAKER_02: Kind of has that beat to it.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:00:50
SPEAKER_03: I've heard that before.
1:00:51
SPEAKER_03: It wasn't intentional.
1:00:52
SPEAKER_03: But, you know, look, I listen to a lot of...
1:00:54
SPEAKER_03: I'm a 70s guy.
1:00:55
SPEAKER_03: I listen to tons of 70s.
1:00:57
SPEAKER_03: Bowie, Slade, whatever, T-Rex, all that kind of stuff I like a lot.
1:01:01
SPEAKER_03: So...
1:01:02
SPEAKER_03: It doesn't surprise me at all, but yeah, it's got that groove for sure.
1:01:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then I noticed you have some Beatles influences in this record
1:01:13
SPEAKER_02: and some cheap trick in there.
1:01:17
SPEAKER_02: I hear some cheap trick.
1:01:19
SPEAKER_02: I just hear all kinds of 70s influences in this, and it's a very cool thing.
1:01:25
SPEAKER_02: When you...
1:01:27
SPEAKER_02: You put a band together when you were in the Cleveland area.
1:01:29
SPEAKER_02: You wanted to call it the Glorious Things because you sort of have an affection for
1:01:33
SPEAKER_02: the glam rock era, the T-Rex era of the 70s.
1:01:39
SPEAKER_02: And it ended up being your self-titled release, your St. James release.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_02: And I always thought that your 70s influences,
1:01:51
SPEAKER_02: because you shared a lot of the songs with me when you were writing those songs
1:01:55
SPEAKER_02: and demoing them, I could pick all the influences out listening to it.
1:02:01
SPEAKER_02: And it was very cool.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_02: I like your take and put your own stamp on it, as it were.
1:02:10
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and it's just natural,
1:02:12
SPEAKER_03: you know,
1:02:12
SPEAKER_03: because we're talking about all the stuff I grew up listening to,
1:02:16
SPEAKER_03: and so it's just embedded in me, and it's just what comes out, I guess.
1:02:20
SPEAKER_03: But yeah,
1:02:22
SPEAKER_03: you know,
1:02:23
SPEAKER_03: that Glorious Things,
1:02:24
SPEAKER_03: I liked the name, but every time anybody, they thought it was a religious band.
1:02:29
SPEAKER_03: I didn't understand that, but there's some religious thing with Glorious Things.
1:02:34
SPEAKER_03: I said, well, we're not, but anyway, just ended up calling at St. James, but...
1:02:40
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, I remember there was a song on that disc that sounded like Chicago a little bit.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_02: It did.
1:02:48
SPEAKER_02: It had a lot of 25 or 6 to 4 sounds.
1:02:51
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:02:52
SPEAKER_03: Which is just, you know, just by chance.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_03: But, you know, what comes out of you naturally, because I'm just organic, it just comes out.
1:03:01
SPEAKER_03: I don't try to sound like anything on purpose, but it's in me, you know?
1:03:04
SPEAKER_03: So that's what comes out, I guess.
1:03:06
SPEAKER_03: But...
1:03:07
SPEAKER_03: It's nice just to work with Tommy again.
1:03:10
SPEAKER_03: A lot of these songs really started with me on the guitar,
1:03:14
SPEAKER_03: showing him what I've got, and then he puts his Tommy magic on there.
1:03:19
SPEAKER_03: And that's part of the pleasure of the whole thing, is being able to work with Tommy.
1:03:23
SPEAKER_00: Right on.
1:03:23
SPEAKER_00: Well, let me ask the obvious question then.
1:03:26
SPEAKER_00: Two obvious questions.
1:03:28
SPEAKER_00: One, will there be more?
1:03:30
SPEAKER_00: And two, if there is more, will there be, even if it's limited run, will there be more?
1:03:36
SPEAKER_00: The chance of a limited,
1:03:38
SPEAKER_00: even if it was LA,
1:03:39
SPEAKER_00: Chicago,
1:03:40
SPEAKER_00: New York, you know, will that potentially happen with you two back together again?
1:03:47
SPEAKER_03: Well, we've already talked and Tommy wants to do more.
1:03:51
SPEAKER_03: I mean, as soon as we finished this and we sat and absorbed it a little bit
1:03:54
SPEAKER_03: and was listening to it, we both really like it so much.
1:03:58
SPEAKER_03: Tommy goes, we got to do this again.
1:03:59
SPEAKER_03: I go, well, let's get this one out first.
1:04:02
SPEAKER_03: But I'm pretty sure we'll probably do another.
1:04:07
SPEAKER_03: And I've talked to him slightly about would we ever want to play live?
1:04:14
SPEAKER_03: We could,
1:04:15
SPEAKER_03: all we have to do is just get a drummer and the engineer,
1:04:19
SPEAKER_03: his name's Rob Dyker, and he played all the bass on this.
1:04:23
SPEAKER_03: So it's just the three of us.
1:04:24
SPEAKER_03: So I would have him play bass and we just need a drummer.
1:04:27
SPEAKER_03: But I would like to do it, it's up to Tommy.
1:04:30
SPEAKER_03: If Tommy ever You know, gets a wild hair.
1:04:33
SPEAKER_03: I'll say, let's do it.
1:04:34
SPEAKER_03: Let's play live.
1:04:35
SPEAKER_03: I don't know that that's not for sure,
1:04:39
SPEAKER_03: but really, I'm pretty sure that we're going to do another CD.
1:04:43
SPEAKER_00: Right on, because I know, too.
1:04:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm always writing for it.
1:04:45
SPEAKER_00: All right, there we go.
1:04:46
SPEAKER_00: So there is new music.
1:04:48
SPEAKER_00: That's good coming.
1:04:49
SPEAKER_00: Is there, or more, what do you think about his new band that he just announced last week?
1:04:55
SPEAKER_00: Was it Shogun Mojo?
1:04:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, he announced another band.
1:04:58
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, does that get in the way of what you wanted?
1:05:02
SPEAKER_03: Well, I knew about that.
1:05:03
SPEAKER_03: He played me the whole thing.
1:05:06
SPEAKER_03: We recorded up in Oregon,
1:05:08
SPEAKER_03: and he has a beach house in Oregon,
1:05:10
SPEAKER_03: so we used to drive in from the beach to Portland to record,
1:05:13
SPEAKER_03: and he played me all that stuff.
1:05:16
SPEAKER_03: It's just kind of a strange thing because Tommy Thayer has a baby with a girl in Prague.
1:05:28
SPEAKER_03: So he is in Prague a lot.
1:05:30
SPEAKER_03: Well, Dan Reed lives in Prague.
1:05:32
SPEAKER_03: And it's so funny because they're both from Portland.
1:05:36
SPEAKER_03: So they connected up and they did this project.
1:05:39
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what he's actually doing with it exactly,
1:05:42
SPEAKER_03: but they released the thing and I don't know what he's going to do,
1:05:47
SPEAKER_03: if they're going to do any live shows or not.
1:05:50
SPEAKER_03: But I know it happened because they both happened to be in Prague.
1:05:55
SPEAKER_02: Great.
1:05:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, hey, Jamie,
1:05:56
SPEAKER_02: I see you're doing,
1:05:58
SPEAKER_02: you know, you do sporadic shows with the black and blue lineup and things.
1:06:03
SPEAKER_02: How is the, I guess, the interest in black and blue?
1:06:07
SPEAKER_02: I mean, because, you know, as a lot of fans of this show...
1:06:13
SPEAKER_02: A lot of the bands are still out there doing it.
1:06:15
SPEAKER_02: They may not be doing it at a full scale,
1:06:18
SPEAKER_02: full tour or anything,
1:06:19
SPEAKER_02: but they do the weekend fly-in dates like Dokken does that a lot and a lot
1:06:23
SPEAKER_02: of other bands like that.
1:06:24
SPEAKER_02: So how good is the interest in Black & Blue and the opportunity to get out and play?
1:06:31
SPEAKER_03: Well, we do have a good booking agency,
1:06:34
SPEAKER_03: Big Time Entertainment with Sullivan Big, so that's great.
1:06:37
SPEAKER_03: We don't play a lot.
1:06:40
SPEAKER_03: We don't really,
1:06:41
SPEAKER_03: we're not about getting in vans and going to clubs and stuff,
1:06:44
SPEAKER_03: but we do play, you know, anything, a good offer that comes in.
1:06:49
SPEAKER_03: For instance, our next show is actually in about three weeks in Belgium.
1:06:54
SPEAKER_03: We're doing a festival in Belgium, which we don't ever, we've never even played mainland Europe.
1:07:00
SPEAKER_03: So that's pretty exciting.
1:07:02
SPEAKER_03: We've done England a couple of times, but yeah.
1:07:06
SPEAKER_03: We always do the cruises and that kind of thing.
1:07:09
SPEAKER_03: Just some odd show.
1:07:11
SPEAKER_03: An odd little festival will come up and ask for us and we'll be there.
1:07:15
SPEAKER_03: It's going to be a decent thing.
1:07:17
SPEAKER_03: We're kind of unique because...
1:07:19
SPEAKER_03: Some of the bands get oversaturated.
1:07:21
SPEAKER_03: They just play the hell out of it.
1:07:23
SPEAKER_03: They're playing all the time.
1:07:24
SPEAKER_03: We don't.
1:07:25
SPEAKER_03: So every now and then, it's like, yeah, let's try Black & Blue.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_03: We've had these other guys 10 times.
1:07:29
SPEAKER_03: So we still get a chance.
1:07:33
SPEAKER_03: I'm shocked that in 2026, we're still able to do it, to be honest with you.
1:07:38
SPEAKER_03: But I love it so much.
1:07:40
SPEAKER_03: And so we're still active.
1:07:41
SPEAKER_03: We're still in there.
1:07:43
SPEAKER_02: Well, good for you because I'm glad,
1:07:45
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:07:45
SPEAKER_02: I catch a video or two now and again when you do one of your,
1:07:49
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:07:50
SPEAKER_02: shows and you still sound great up there on stage and,
1:07:53
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:07:54
SPEAKER_02: your lineup sounds great, you know, playing the black and blue classics and things.
1:07:59
SPEAKER_02: So, you know, just a tip of the hat to you.
1:08:06
SPEAKER_03: Well, thank you, because I'm getting old, but I can still sing.
1:08:08
SPEAKER_03: You know, it's just genetics that I'm able to do it.
1:08:13
SPEAKER_03: I'm singing everything in the same key it was written in back in the 80s.
1:08:18
SPEAKER_03: So I've changed nothing.
1:08:20
SPEAKER_03: We don't use any damn backing tapes or any of that crap.
1:08:23
SPEAKER_03: It's real.
1:08:23
SPEAKER_03: If I can't sing it anymore, I won't do it.
1:08:26
SPEAKER_03: But I still can do it.
1:08:29
SPEAKER_03: And We have the original members, Patrick Young on bass, Pete Holmes on drums, and me.
1:08:34
SPEAKER_03: We have Brandon Cook on guitar,
1:08:36
SPEAKER_03: who's been in the band for 13,
1:08:38
SPEAKER_03: 14 years now,
1:08:39
SPEAKER_03: and a new guy named Mick Caldwell on the other side of the stage on guitar.
1:08:44
SPEAKER_03: So two new guitars,
1:08:45
SPEAKER_03: but three original members,
1:08:46
SPEAKER_03: pretty good for a band that's been around about 45 years.
1:08:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no kidding.
1:08:51
SPEAKER_02: Can you believe it's been 15 years since you put out Hell Yeah?
1:08:55
SPEAKER_03: No, I can't believe that.
1:08:56
SPEAKER_03: I cannot.
1:08:59
SPEAKER_02: That's insane.
1:09:00
SPEAKER_02: I know.
1:09:01
SPEAKER_02: Isn't that ridiculous?
1:09:02
SPEAKER_02: Time just flies.
1:09:05
SPEAKER_03: It's weird.
1:09:07
SPEAKER_03: I just got off the phone yesterday.
1:09:09
SPEAKER_03: I talked on the phone yesterday to Dieter Jerks.
1:09:13
SPEAKER_03: He called me.
1:09:14
SPEAKER_03: He wanted some help with something he wanted me to be involved with.
1:09:17
SPEAKER_03: I said, Dieter,
1:09:19
SPEAKER_03: can you believe that when I recorded my first record with you, I was 23 years old.
1:09:24
SPEAKER_03: I'm now 66.
1:09:25
SPEAKER_03: He goes, no, I don't believe that at all.
1:09:29
SPEAKER_03: It's weird.
1:09:29
SPEAKER_03: He goes, but I've got you beat.
1:09:31
SPEAKER_03: I'm 83.
1:09:31
SPEAKER_03: Wow.
1:09:36
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's just weird.
1:09:38
SPEAKER_03: So I'm going to see him after I get back from Belgium.
1:09:40
SPEAKER_03: I'm going to go and see him.
1:09:42
SPEAKER_03: He's having a kind of documentary made, so I'm going to be part of it.
1:09:47
SPEAKER_02: Very nice.
1:09:49
SPEAKER_02: Well, tell me,
1:09:50
SPEAKER_02: just give me your thoughts on,
1:09:51
SPEAKER_02: you know, the fact that you're going to have to travel to Belgium to do one show.
1:09:57
SPEAKER_02: I mean, are you planning on doing, you know, trying to book a couple of shows around that?
1:10:02
SPEAKER_02: Or are you just satisfied with flying across the globe, do one show and come back home?
1:10:07
SPEAKER_03: We're just flying and doing one show and they're paying us well.
1:10:12
SPEAKER_03: And I've got like three or four nights in a hotel so I can adjust.
1:10:16
SPEAKER_03: It's a long travel.
1:10:18
SPEAKER_03: But if they pay us the right amount of money, I've said, okay, let's do it.
1:10:25
SPEAKER_03: All right, man.
1:10:26
SPEAKER_03: You know,
1:10:27
SPEAKER_03: what's cool about it,
1:10:28
SPEAKER_03: since I am a 70s guy, playing with us is the band Stars, which I love.
1:10:35
SPEAKER_03: It's two original members in the band still.
1:10:38
SPEAKER_03: So that's pretty cool.
1:10:39
SPEAKER_03: Coney Hatch is on the bill.
1:10:42
SPEAKER_03: So it's going to be fun and...
1:10:45
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, crazy of us, isn't it?
1:10:47
SPEAKER_03: All the way over there in the back.
1:10:49
SPEAKER_02: How long of a set?
1:10:50
SPEAKER_02: Is it an hour, 90 minutes?
1:10:52
SPEAKER_02: What is it?
1:10:53
SPEAKER_03: We're doing 90 minutes.
1:10:54
SPEAKER_02: Oh, okay.
1:10:56
SPEAKER_02: So 18 hours of flight in one direction for 90 minutes of play.
1:11:02
SPEAKER_03: Well, call us nuts.
1:11:04
SPEAKER_03: But you know what?
1:11:05
SPEAKER_03: I think it's going to be a blast.
1:11:07
SPEAKER_03: I'm glad.
1:11:09
SPEAKER_03: European audiences never get to see us, so it's going to be something.
1:11:12
SPEAKER_03: They're going to be coming from all over this place.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_03: I know it's going to be fantastic.
1:11:16
SPEAKER_03: Why not?
1:11:18
SPEAKER_03: Why not?
1:11:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, why not?
1:11:21
SPEAKER_02: Well, good for you.
1:11:23
SPEAKER_02: Well, tell us a little bit about this CD,
1:11:26
SPEAKER_02: about any of the songs that stand out for you in particular that you're pretty proud
1:11:32
SPEAKER_02: of.
1:11:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:11:35
SPEAKER_03: Well, first of all, I really do love Bombshell, the song.
1:11:40
SPEAKER_03: It just came out great.
1:11:41
SPEAKER_03: I was mowing my lawn and I started singing that and I even had the word Bombshell as
1:11:48
SPEAKER_03: a title and I was singing it and I ran into my guitar and started working it out
1:11:53
SPEAKER_03: and it just came out great.
1:11:55
SPEAKER_03: I like every song on the thing.
1:12:00
SPEAKER_03: The song that Tommy really instigated was Magnetic.
1:12:04
SPEAKER_03: And that's got a killer, it's just a lot.
1:12:07
SPEAKER_03: That's the one that's got the Beatle part in it.
1:12:10
SPEAKER_03: I love that song.
1:12:13
SPEAKER_03: Tonight's the Night.
1:12:14
SPEAKER_03: I told Tommy, I go, it's called Tonight's the Night.
1:12:16
SPEAKER_03: Fuck Ron Stewart.
1:12:17
SPEAKER_03: It's Tonight's the Night.
1:12:20
SPEAKER_03: But he goes, it doesn't matter.
1:12:22
SPEAKER_03: We can do that.
1:12:22
SPEAKER_03: I go, that's right.
1:12:23
SPEAKER_03: We got to do it.
1:12:24
SPEAKER_03: And I wanted to write something that sounded kind of,
1:12:27
SPEAKER_03: purposely,
1:12:28
SPEAKER_03: I thought,
1:12:28
SPEAKER_03: I want something that's kind of like raspberries, you know, go all the way.
1:12:32
SPEAKER_03: So it's Tonight's the Night.
1:12:33
SPEAKER_03: It was the idea behind it.
1:12:35
SPEAKER_03: All the songs came together.
1:12:36
SPEAKER_03: I love the song Bulletproof.
1:12:39
SPEAKER_03: Tommy goes, what are you listening to Ted Nugent when you wrote that?
1:12:42
SPEAKER_03: It's just kind of a rocking tune.
1:12:46
SPEAKER_03: It's great.
1:12:47
SPEAKER_03: The first one I wrote for the CD was called I Want to Fly.
1:12:50
SPEAKER_03: It's the last song on there.
1:12:53
SPEAKER_03: I don't know what it sounds like, but it started out as a joke.
1:12:57
SPEAKER_03: I was rhyming I was making up a funny song about poor John Denver flying off a cliff
1:13:03
SPEAKER_03: in that cheap plane he had and killed him.
1:13:05
SPEAKER_03: And I was kind of making a joke song.
1:13:08
SPEAKER_03: And I realized, wait a minute, wait a minute.
1:13:10
SPEAKER_03: This is a good idea.
1:13:11
SPEAKER_03: So I turned it into a real song.
1:13:16
SPEAKER_03: Nothing wrong with John Denver.
1:13:17
SPEAKER_03: I like him.
1:13:17
SPEAKER_03: God bless him.
1:13:19
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but I thought it was like, God, what a thing.
1:13:21
SPEAKER_03: You get this cheap little airplane thing that you got,
1:13:24
SPEAKER_03: and you flew that thing off a cliff, man, right into the ocean.
1:13:27
SPEAKER_03: I just thought, what a sad way to go.
1:13:29
SPEAKER_03: But anyway, I think it started out being called, I bought a shitty plane.
1:13:39
SPEAKER_03: So what's next, the Sonny
1:13:40
SPEAKER_00: Bono song or something?
1:13:42
SPEAKER_03: Well, hey, why not?
1:13:45
SPEAKER_03: That might turn into something good, too.
1:13:48
SPEAKER_03: I'll just start that one.
1:13:49
SPEAKER_03: I shouldn't have taken the ski trip.
1:13:55
SPEAKER_02: See, and Chris was telling us in the first hour of the show that there's just no way
1:14:00
SPEAKER_02: to make a joke about death.
1:14:03
SPEAKER_03: Hey, you know what?
1:14:06
SPEAKER_03: It was just for me as I'm telling the story because I get a chuckle out of it.
1:14:10
SPEAKER_02: For the rest of us to hear it.
1:14:14
SPEAKER_03: I actually,
1:14:14
SPEAKER_03: I recorded it on my phone and I played guitar and I actually played it for Tom
1:14:19
SPEAKER_03: and he was laughing.
1:14:20
SPEAKER_03: He goes, oh my God, that turned into I Want to Fly.
1:14:22
SPEAKER_03: That's funny.
1:14:24
SPEAKER_03: But anyway, I'm not a mean guy, so I don't mean anything.
1:14:29
SPEAKER_03: Sean Denver was great.
1:14:32
SPEAKER_00: Well, Jamie, let me ask you, man.
1:14:33
SPEAKER_00: Obviously,
1:14:34
SPEAKER_00: we're kind of at the back end of what I've been calling the nostalgia era for
1:14:40
SPEAKER_00: the last,
1:14:40
SPEAKER_00: I'll say,
1:14:41
SPEAKER_00: 15 years or so,
1:14:42
SPEAKER_00: where we've had a lot of regained interest in the 80s era of the bands.
1:14:50
SPEAKER_00: And we've obviously had Rock,
1:14:51
SPEAKER_00: Oklahoma, and M3,
1:14:52
SPEAKER_00: and the Monsters of Rock crews,
1:14:54
SPEAKER_00: and bunches of different kind of gatherings that Of that music,
1:14:59
SPEAKER_00: it seems like we're sort of weaning out of that a little bit and seems like
1:15:03
SPEAKER_00: the 90s is coming back.
1:15:05
SPEAKER_00: Tell me from your experience,
1:15:08
SPEAKER_00: do you still see active fan interest or do you see it waning as well?
1:15:15
SPEAKER_03: Well, I know what you're saying.
1:15:17
SPEAKER_03: The 90s bands are,
1:15:19
SPEAKER_03: I'm friends with some guys in 90s bands,
1:15:21
SPEAKER_03: you know, the guys in Lit, they'd love to, they want to go out and play.
1:15:25
SPEAKER_03: They want to, you know, They're trying to introduce some of these bands into these festivals.
1:15:30
SPEAKER_03: I can tell you, there's still such a strong love for this 80s music.
1:15:35
SPEAKER_03: And I don't even know why, but there just is.
1:15:39
SPEAKER_03: And as everybody gets older, it'll start to diminish.
1:15:43
SPEAKER_03: But I still think there's plenty of...
1:15:44
SPEAKER_03: These cruises are packed, man.
1:15:47
SPEAKER_03: I know that M3 has dwindled down a little bit.
1:15:51
SPEAKER_03: And they're trying to... Look, at a certain point, These 80s bands are going to fizzle out.
1:15:56
SPEAKER_03: They can't last forever.
1:15:58
SPEAKER_03: So something's going to have to change just by the nature of life.
1:16:02
SPEAKER_03: But there's still a lot of people love the 80s stuff still.
1:16:07
SPEAKER_03: It's very strong.
1:16:10
SPEAKER_03: I like a lot of 90s stuff.
1:16:14
SPEAKER_03: But I think it's still got some legs.
1:16:16
SPEAKER_00: Right on.
1:16:18
SPEAKER_00: You've been on Monsters of Rock, yes?
1:16:21
SPEAKER_03: Many times.
1:16:22
SPEAKER_03: I was on the first one.
1:16:23
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:16:24
SPEAKER_00: Excellent.
1:16:25
SPEAKER_00: So with Monsters of Rock, what is that like for you?
1:16:29
SPEAKER_00: And this is, I don't necessarily mean, I know the answer.
1:16:32
SPEAKER_00: It's great.
1:16:33
SPEAKER_00: It's wonderful.
1:16:34
SPEAKER_00: You know, everybody's into it and all that.
1:16:36
SPEAKER_00: But I mean,
1:16:36
SPEAKER_00: what is it like for you guys to kind of be trapped,
1:16:40
SPEAKER_00: more or less, where,
1:16:41
SPEAKER_00: you know,
1:16:42
SPEAKER_00: for forever and a day,
1:16:43
SPEAKER_00: you always had kind of the There's the stage and here's the backstage.
1:16:48
SPEAKER_00: We only invite who we want backstage.
1:16:49
SPEAKER_00: But you get on a cruise like this,
1:16:52
SPEAKER_00: you got everybody that has auto blast and wants it signed or whatever bugging you
1:16:57
SPEAKER_00: when you're trying to get some shrimp at the shrimp bar or whatever.
1:17:01
SPEAKER_00: Is it fun or is it a little cumbersome?
1:17:04
SPEAKER_00: I mean, what is that experience like?
1:17:07
SPEAKER_03: Well, you know, I think that the people have an etiquette.
1:17:11
SPEAKER_03: When you're eating, there's an artist dining.
1:17:15
SPEAKER_03: You can get away,
1:17:16
SPEAKER_03: but you can sometimes go to the other one where everybody's at,
1:17:20
SPEAKER_03: and everybody pretty much leaves you alone in that case.
1:17:23
SPEAKER_03: But if you're just walking across the ship, you're going to get stopped.
1:17:26
SPEAKER_03: You're going to have pictures.
1:17:27
SPEAKER_03: You're going to sign stuff.
1:17:28
SPEAKER_03: So you stay in your cabin.
1:17:30
SPEAKER_03: If you go out, you've got to know that that's going to happen, and I don't mind it.
1:17:34
SPEAKER_03: But when you're eating and stuff, people stay away from you.
1:17:37
SPEAKER_03: They really do.
1:17:38
SPEAKER_03: I saw at the buffet Steve Harris in the buffet line, and nobody was talking.
1:17:42
SPEAKER_03: Nobody was bugging him.
1:17:44
SPEAKER_03: You know, I mean, for God's sakes, but they just didn't bother.
1:17:49
SPEAKER_03: So they kind of know, leave these guys alone a little bit.
1:17:52
SPEAKER_03: But when you're just walking around the ship, you're going to get bombarded, you know?
1:17:55
SPEAKER_03: It's the way it is.
1:17:58
SPEAKER_02: Do you still get kind of a, I don't know, I don't want to use the word thrill, kind of a...
1:18:09
SPEAKER_02: The fact that people still recognize you if you're just out
1:18:12
SPEAKER_02: in public just doing just normal everyday stuff and somebody says,
1:18:16
SPEAKER_02: hey, are you Jamie?
1:18:17
SPEAKER_02: You know,
1:18:17
SPEAKER_02: come up and say hello to you or want to grab a photo or grab a picture or get
1:18:23
SPEAKER_02: an autograph or something.
1:18:25
SPEAKER_02: Are you still amazed by that?
1:18:27
SPEAKER_03: Well, when it happens in regular life,
1:18:29
SPEAKER_03: when I'm at the grocery store,
1:18:31
SPEAKER_03: that's pretty weird because I go, how do you know who I am?
1:18:34
SPEAKER_03: I mean, black and blue, you know, I'm not Bon Jovi.
1:18:37
SPEAKER_03: But it doesn't happen that much.
1:18:39
SPEAKER_03: If I'm at a concert or something, it's much, much more.
1:18:43
SPEAKER_03: But I don't get that as much, you know.
1:18:45
SPEAKER_03: But it's because of my hair still, you know.
1:18:47
SPEAKER_03: That guy's got to be somebody, you know.
1:18:50
SPEAKER_03: I have a local grocery store that I go to here in Upland, California.
1:18:54
SPEAKER_03: And I walk in, they go, hey, Whitesnake.
1:18:56
SPEAKER_03: They call me Whitesnake.
1:18:59
SPEAKER_03: I go, how's it going, everybody?
1:19:00
SPEAKER_03: They don't know that I'm in black and blue, but they think they just call me Whitesnake.
1:19:05
SPEAKER_02: All right.
1:19:08
SPEAKER_02: It's David St. James here.
1:19:14
SPEAKER_02: All right, Jamie.
1:19:14
SPEAKER_02: Well,
1:19:15
SPEAKER_02: is there anything else you want to tell the fans that we haven't touched on here
1:19:18
SPEAKER_02: at all about,
1:19:20
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:19:20
SPEAKER_02: things upcoming,
1:19:21
SPEAKER_02: what you're doing,
1:19:22

SPEAKER_03: Essentially go to ThayerStJames.com and you can buy whatever music Tommy
1:19:33
SPEAKER_03: and I are doing now, have done and will do in the future, ThayerStJames.com.
1:19:40
SPEAKER_03: Black and Blue is still active, and I hope to see people out there when we do play.
1:19:43
SPEAKER_03: We don't play a lot.
1:19:44
SPEAKER_03: I mean, we do maybe six, ten shows a year in a good year, so we don't play a lot.
1:19:50
SPEAKER_03: So if we do come anywhere near you,
1:19:52
SPEAKER_03: for God's sakes,
1:19:53
SPEAKER_03: drive the 50 to 100 miles to go see us because it won't happen again probably.
1:19:59
SPEAKER_03: But we're still out here,
1:20:00
SPEAKER_03: still alive,
1:20:01
SPEAKER_03: and I'm still having fun with it at 66 years old, so I still won't stop.

SPEAKER_00: If you've got stuff, let's do it.
1:24:15
SPEAKER_02: All right.
1:24:16
SPEAKER_02: Well, since we're in the radio biz,
1:24:22
SPEAKER_02: as you're probably well aware, Howard Stern is on his last contract.
1:24:31
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
1:24:31
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
1:24:34
SPEAKER_02: And I guess, let's see here.
1:24:37
SPEAKER_02: What's the story here?
1:24:39
SPEAKER_02: The Howard Stern Show is to end in 2028.
1:24:42
SPEAKER_02: It's clear it's all winding down.
1:24:45
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:24:46
SPEAKER_02: Howard Stern Show will reportedly come to an end as soon as his three-year contract
1:24:51
SPEAKER_02: with SiriusXM is up in 2028.
1:24:53
SPEAKER_02: And a new report source says, are surprised the show lasted this long.
1:24:58
SPEAKER_02: When Stern signed on to his five-year contract in 2020,
1:25:02
SPEAKER_02: it made sense with his staff feeling like they had more work to do,
1:25:06
SPEAKER_02: but the show really limped to its last contract.
1:25:12
SPEAKER_02: The source added that the shock jock show was not sustainable the way it's been.
1:25:18
SPEAKER_02: There is so much content Howard wasn't getting to because he was only doing two days a week.
1:25:24
SPEAKER_02: Now that it's gone down to one, it's clear it's all just winding down.
1:25:29
SPEAKER_00: But it's not.
1:25:31
SPEAKER_00: If you don't mind me interjecting something I saw literally five minutes before
1:25:36
SPEAKER_00: the show started.
1:25:37
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:25:38
SPEAKER_00: Howard has signed a contract with HBO to take the one show a week,
1:25:46
SPEAKER_00: repackage it, and put it on HBO.
1:25:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but when his SiriusXM contract is up, that's it with SiriusXM.
1:25:57
SPEAKER_00: It was serious,
1:25:57
SPEAKER_00: but he'll probably just move right over to- Yeah,
1:25:59
SPEAKER_02: yeah, but they're talking about his SiriusXM contract.
1:26:05
SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I don't know who would watch either.
1:26:07
SPEAKER_00: Who's checking out the Sirius show just to see one show a week?
1:26:15
SPEAKER_00: Or who's going to check out an HBO show?
1:26:19
SPEAKER_00: Who wants to see that?
1:26:21
SPEAKER_02: Especially the people who subscribe to SiriusXM just for Howard's show.
1:26:27
SPEAKER_02: Because I know you and I both jumped off the XM wagon when O&A ended.
1:26:32
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:26:34
SPEAKER_02: So I haven't had serious XM in 10, 15 years, 10, 12 years.
1:26:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:26:44
SPEAKER_00: It's been a while.
1:26:44
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I tried it.
1:26:45
SPEAKER_00: My daughter got it for me for Christmas a couple of years ago.
1:26:49
SPEAKER_02: But you didn't buy it, though.
1:26:50
SPEAKER_00: No, I didn't buy it.
1:26:51
SPEAKER_02: It was a gift.
1:26:52
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and honestly,
1:26:54
SPEAKER_00: it didn't get renewed past the three months because there just wasn't anything
1:26:57
SPEAKER_00: to hear anymore.
1:26:58
SPEAKER_02: Well, you know,
1:26:59
SPEAKER_02: when I had bought my new car,
1:27:02
SPEAKER_02: it comes in the car,
1:27:03
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:27:03
SPEAKER_02: and the car dealer was just like,
1:27:05
SPEAKER_02: well, let's get your Sirius XM, you know, set up in your car, blah, blah, blah.
1:27:12
SPEAKER_02: And they hit a button on the dash and it calls the,
1:27:16
SPEAKER_02: you know, Sirius XM and you give them the Credit card or
1:27:21
SPEAKER_00: whatever, yeah.
1:27:22
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the point I'm trying to make.
1:27:25
SPEAKER_02: You give them your registration number on your radio,
1:27:30
SPEAKER_02: blah, blah, blah, and it's free for a year, right?
1:27:36
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:27:36
SPEAKER_02: Well, I had zero interest in...
1:27:40
SPEAKER_02: Extending it beyond the free period.
1:27:43
SPEAKER_02: So the guy was just like, I'll just need your credit card.
1:27:46
SPEAKER_02: I said, for what?
1:27:47
SPEAKER_02: He goes, well, you know, when your contract is up, I said, I have no interest in renewing this.
1:27:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:27:55
SPEAKER_02: Well, we still need a credit card on file.
1:27:57
SPEAKER_02: I said, well, if it's free for a year, why do you need a credit card?
1:28:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:28:01
SPEAKER_02: You're not going to soak me for even one.
1:28:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:28:03
SPEAKER_02: Have a good day, Mr. Neely.
1:28:05
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
1:28:06
SPEAKER_02: Bye.
1:28:07
SPEAKER_02: Goodbye.
1:28:08
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you'll stick to Spotify, right?
1:28:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly.
1:28:12
SPEAKER_02: And that whole year went by, I didn't even turn on that SiriusXM once.
1:28:17
SPEAKER_02: I had the subscription because it was free with the car,
1:28:20
SPEAKER_02: but I never even listened to it, not even one time.
1:28:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, what would you listen?
1:28:24
SPEAKER_00: Honestly, I would listen to Eddie Trunk.
1:28:28
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:28:28
SPEAKER_00: Just because it would be as much for my general interest in that topics
1:28:34
SPEAKER_00: as it would be looking for material for the show.
1:28:37
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:28:38
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I can't imagine subscribing these days.
1:28:45
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I'd love to get on there and support our friend Mark Striggle.
1:28:50
SPEAKER_00: He has a show there.
1:28:51
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't mind supporting him, but sorry, Mark.
1:28:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to spend $15 a month to support you here.
1:28:58
SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
1:29:00
SPEAKER_02: The Howard Stern Show signed a new three-year contract with Sirius XM in December of 2025.
1:29:07
SPEAKER_02: Stern currently has two channels with the satellite radio company,
1:29:11
SPEAKER_02: Howard 100,
1:29:12
SPEAKER_02: which features new content,
1:29:14
SPEAKER_02: and Howard 101,
1:29:16
SPEAKER_02: which plays archived interviews and older shows,
1:29:18
SPEAKER_02: which, by the way, that got pulled this week.
1:29:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 101's done.
1:29:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they pulled it.
1:29:24
SPEAKER_00: And they replaced it by Andy Cohen, who he hates.
1:29:28
SPEAKER_00: That's pretty funny.
1:29:31
SPEAKER_02: However,
1:29:31
SPEAKER_02: as Globe previously reported,
1:29:33
SPEAKER_02: Stern has been struggling with the possibility of Howard 101 being canceled,
1:29:38
SPEAKER_02: which it was.
1:29:39
SPEAKER_02: Howard has begrudgingly accepted that it's time to scale things back,
1:29:43
SPEAKER_02: but now there are all these rumors
1:29:46
SPEAKER_02: that Howard 101 channel may end up flat out canceled,
1:29:49
SPEAKER_02: and that's not doing anything for his mood.
1:29:53
SPEAKER_02: Oh, poor Howard.
1:29:54
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I feel so bad for this billionaire.
1:29:57
SPEAKER_00: For his mood.
1:29:58
SPEAKER_00: For his mood.
1:29:58
SPEAKER_00: Fuck him.
1:29:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:30:00
SPEAKER_02: The source added that the problem stems from the fact that Stern still wants to work
1:30:05
SPEAKER_02: and he wants to go out on his terms.
1:30:09
SPEAKER_02: He wants to work all right.
1:30:10
SPEAKER_02: One show a week.
1:30:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, one show a week.
1:30:15
SPEAKER_00: And he's so confident in it that he's literally trying to repackage it and get money
1:30:21
SPEAKER_00: from some other.
1:30:22
SPEAKER_00: I can't believe HBO fell for this.
1:30:25
SPEAKER_00: Well, who's watching HBO these days?
1:30:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess that's true too.
1:30:31
SPEAKER_02: I think HBO is on its way out, isn't it?
1:30:35
SPEAKER_00: There's a lot of talk that if the merger goes through, it'll just get sucked into...
1:30:43
SPEAKER_00: It'll go away and the content will get sucked into Paramount.
1:30:46
SPEAKER_00: I think it's Paramount that's buying them.
1:30:50
SPEAKER_00: That's the rumor, but we'll see.
1:30:54
SPEAKER_00: But again,
1:30:54
SPEAKER_00: why are they signing contracts that they'll have to pay for for three years
1:30:58
SPEAKER_00: when they might not even exist in one?
1:31:00
SPEAKER_02: Who knows?
1:31:03
SPEAKER_02: Having to play this waiting game where he feels like
1:31:07
SPEAKER_02: the bosses are holding his future in their hands
1:31:10
SPEAKER_02: and capriciously deciding his fate is a nightmare.
1:31:15
SPEAKER_02: Well, when you work for somebody, they hold your fate in their hands.
1:31:19
SPEAKER_02: When they're paying you to work for them,
1:31:24
SPEAKER_00: you're at their behest.
1:31:26
SPEAKER_00: If he hadn't been such a dickbag about podcasting all this time,
1:31:31
SPEAKER_00: he could have started an extremely successful podcast.
1:31:39
SPEAKER_00: I think he would have easily 100,000 subscribers at $10 a month or whatever.
1:31:46
SPEAKER_00: Don't you think?
1:31:47
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but if he actually produced content, though.
1:31:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, that's it.
1:31:52
SPEAKER_00: He'd have to show up and do some work.
1:31:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:31:55
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, the thing is, is he relies on his coworkers.
1:31:59
SPEAKER_02: To do all the work.
1:32:00
SPEAKER_02: To do all the work.
1:32:02
SPEAKER_02: And, you know, again,
1:32:04
SPEAKER_02: it would take infrastructure to bring in Robin and obviously Fred,
1:32:10
SPEAKER_02: if they still want to be a part of it.
1:32:12
SPEAKER_02: And Gary.
1:32:13
SPEAKER_02: Gary and blah, blah, blah.
1:32:15
SPEAKER_02: But all those guys are scattered around the country, aren't they?
1:32:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think so.
1:32:19
SPEAKER_00: I think Gary lives in Florida now and Howard sometimes lives in Florida and Ronnie,
1:32:24
SPEAKER_00: the Livmo driver lives in Vegas, I think.
1:32:27
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
1:32:28
SPEAKER_00: Dude, I have fallen so far away from that show.
1:32:31
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what they do.
1:32:32
SPEAKER_02: I think Robin lives in Florida, too.
1:32:34
SPEAKER_02: Does she?
1:32:35
SPEAKER_02: I think so.
1:32:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
1:32:37
SPEAKER_00: I have really.
1:32:39
SPEAKER_00: It just got to be so bad with the COVID thing and whatever.
1:32:43
SPEAKER_00: And I don't give a shit about,
1:32:45
SPEAKER_00: you know, him saying stuff like, well, don't listen to me or whatever.
1:32:48
SPEAKER_00: I'm so tired of these fucking cocksuckers saying that shit.
1:32:51
SPEAKER_00: You don't fucking control what I listen to or not.
1:32:54
SPEAKER_00: You know, you put it out there for the public, I'll listen to it if I want to.
1:32:57
SPEAKER_00: Fuck you and fuck your attitude.
1:32:59
SPEAKER_00: And that's to all of them.
1:33:01
SPEAKER_00: That's to Howard Stern and Jelly Roll this week and any of these assholes.
1:33:07
SPEAKER_00: Any of these assholes that say,
1:33:09
SPEAKER_00: don't listen to my music,
1:33:11
SPEAKER_00: I probably will go out of my way to listen to it through illegal channels just
1:33:15
SPEAKER_00: to steal it from you.
1:33:17
SPEAKER_00: Cause you're a cunt.

1:33:40
SPEAKER_01: Thanks for asking.
1:33:58
SPEAKER_02: Glad you got that reference.
1:33:59
SPEAKER_00: I think I didn't get that one.
1:34:00
SPEAKER_00: How am I not going to get that one?
1:34:02
SPEAKER_00: It was said directly to me.
1:34:03
SPEAKER_02: I know.
1:34:04
SPEAKER_02: I just thought that was funny.
1:34:06
SPEAKER_02: The Private Parts star recently let go of roughly 50 employees.
1:34:12
SPEAKER_02: It took 50 employees to do the Howard Stern show?
1:34:15
SPEAKER_00: Two days a week.
1:34:17
SPEAKER_00: He was down to two days a week.
1:34:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, 50 employees.
1:34:21
SPEAKER_00: Dude, in the old days, in the good days, and this is where he's so out of touch with everything.
1:34:27
SPEAKER_00: In the best days of the show, there was, what, about eight people?
1:34:32
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:34:32
SPEAKER_00: There was Gary, Fred, Robin, Howard, Jackie,
1:34:40
SPEAKER_00: Stuttering John,
1:34:43
SPEAKER_00: and a couple of interns that would come in and out,
1:34:45
SPEAKER_00: Gay Mike and, you know, was the other stutterer, Fred the Stutterer or whatever.
1:34:52
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and then he had Ralph Cirilla and, you Yeah.
1:35:00
SPEAKER_00: So he had maybe 10.
1:35:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:35:02
SPEAKER_00: Maybe 10.
1:35:03
SPEAKER_00: But that was in the heyday when the show was at its tippy top.
1:35:08
SPEAKER_00: He hasn't been good in forever to need 50 fucking people.
1:35:15
SPEAKER_00: What could those people possibly be doing?
1:35:19
SPEAKER_00: Booking guests?
1:35:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:35:21
SPEAKER_00: 50 people, though.
1:35:23
SPEAKER_02: To do what?
1:35:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:35:25
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
1:35:27
SPEAKER_02: I mean,
1:35:27
SPEAKER_02: you and I have been doing this show with all the production and everything we do,
1:35:33
SPEAKER_02: and it's just us.
1:35:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just two.
1:35:37
SPEAKER_00: It really is just two people.
1:35:40
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not trying to compare us to the Howard Stern show either.
1:35:43
SPEAKER_02: But the point is,
1:35:44
SPEAKER_02: is that technology has gotten to the point where it doesn't take very many people
1:35:49
SPEAKER_02: to put a show together.
1:35:51
SPEAKER_00: Dude, legitimately, you could put a show together with one person.
1:35:55
SPEAKER_00: One person.
1:35:57
SPEAKER_00: And AI, you could literally get AI to write you a show and get it produced and
1:36:02
SPEAKER_00: then just present it.
1:36:04
SPEAKER_00: You really could if you wanted to.
1:36:09
SPEAKER_00: So if he fired 50, how many do you keep is what I want to know.
1:36:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:36:13
SPEAKER_00: Are there still 50 people running around doing that one fucking day a month or a week?
1:36:20
SPEAKER_00: Howard's a douche.
1:36:22
SPEAKER_00: I hate...
1:36:24
SPEAKER_00: He...
1:36:25
SPEAKER_00: Tell me if you agree with this.
1:36:27
SPEAKER_00: Of everybody that we've ever really,
1:36:29
SPEAKER_00: really enjoyed musically, is he the most disappointing of them all?
1:36:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think so.
1:36:39
SPEAKER_02: Because he was the standard bearer of everything that was Rebel Radio.
1:36:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:36:46
SPEAKER_00: And he literally gave it up, just sold it out.
1:36:49
SPEAKER_00: And became everything he said he didn't want to be.
1:36:52
SPEAKER_00: He became everything he hated and railed on.
1:36:55
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:36:56
SPEAKER_00: He hated the Hollywood interview guy.
1:36:58
SPEAKER_00: Now that's all he does is, hey, look who's in studio.
1:37:01
SPEAKER_00: It's Jennifer Aniston.
1:37:03
SPEAKER_00: It's like, get the fuck out of here, you fucking tool.
1:37:06
SPEAKER_00: He would have tooled on this show.
1:37:09
SPEAKER_00: He would have absolutely,
1:37:10
SPEAKER_00: if this show,
1:37:11
SPEAKER_00: this version of the Howard Stern show was out with a different person doing it,
1:37:16
SPEAKER_00: he would have railed on it constantly.
1:37:19
SPEAKER_00: Every week he would have had, just like he did with, like, Imus or the Greaseman or whatever.
1:37:25
SPEAKER_00: He would have beat the current Howard Stern show into the ground.
1:37:31
SPEAKER_00: And now he's just a fucking dickbag.
1:37:35
SPEAKER_00: That's really what he is.
1:37:36
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I see, like,
1:37:38
SPEAKER_00: I showed you that picture of him walking into some fucking,
1:37:42
SPEAKER_00: what, Counting Crows show or some bullshit.
1:37:45
SPEAKER_00: And I was just like, look at this fucking faggot.
1:37:48
SPEAKER_00: Just a fucking idiot.
1:37:53
SPEAKER_02: Well, you know,
1:37:54
SPEAKER_02: back when I was in broadcasting school back in 95,
1:37:59
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:38:00
SPEAKER_02: the majority of students in my class,
1:38:02
SPEAKER_02: I think there were 20, 22 or 23 people in my class.
1:38:05
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:38:08
SPEAKER_02: Howard Stern was the impetus behind so many of the guys who were going to broadcasting school.
1:38:15
SPEAKER_02: Everybody wanted to do some kind of edgy radio, including myself.
1:38:21
SPEAKER_02: Me too.
1:38:22
SPEAKER_02: From that point of just being law-breaking, pushing the boundaries, being edgy,
1:38:38
SPEAKER_02: To this.
1:38:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:38:39
SPEAKER_02: It's like.
1:38:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:38:42
SPEAKER_00: Dude, I was the same exact.
1:38:44
SPEAKER_00: I've told you the stories.
1:38:45
SPEAKER_00: And Bob Long, I think, told you the stories, too.
1:38:48
SPEAKER_00: I was the only person in the history of WSTB to get suspended for challenging the rules.
1:38:55
SPEAKER_00: You know, because I was playing whatever I wanted to play.
1:38:58
SPEAKER_00: And I was talking more than they want.
1:39:00
SPEAKER_00: All they wanted us to do back then when I was in high school.
1:39:02
SPEAKER_00: And this was high school radio.
1:39:05
SPEAKER_00: They wanted us to do time and temperature and plugs.
1:39:10
SPEAKER_00: It was like, hey, that was whatever it was.
1:39:15
SPEAKER_00: That was Kajagoogoo,
1:39:16
SPEAKER_00: and it's 8.42 in the morning,
1:39:19
SPEAKER_00: and it's the Chris Aiken Experience,
1:39:21
SPEAKER_00: and 32 degrees outside with a high today of 38, and let's get right back to it.
1:39:26
SPEAKER_00: Here's another song.
1:39:28
SPEAKER_00: And instead I was playing Wasp.
1:39:30
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I got kicked off the air for playing Wasp.
1:39:34
SPEAKER_00: I was playing songs from The Last Command.
1:39:36
SPEAKER_00: I was playing like Ball Crusher or something.
1:39:40
SPEAKER_00: Something horrible.
1:39:40
SPEAKER_00: And I got kicked off.
1:39:42
SPEAKER_00: I got kicked off of the high school station for just not following the playlist.
1:39:49
SPEAKER_00: And for me, and again, I want to be clear here.
1:39:52
SPEAKER_00: I am not comparing myself on any level to Howard Stern.
1:39:55
SPEAKER_00: I'm saying I wanted to do what he did.
1:39:59
SPEAKER_00: And you remember even when I started at MMS, dude,
1:40:02
SPEAKER_00: they didn't know what to think of me because I was literally a total wild card
1:40:09
SPEAKER_00: and they couldn't control it and they didn't try really to control it.
1:40:13
SPEAKER_00: You know, and that's who I've always been on the radio.
1:40:18
SPEAKER_00: When I came down and did your show for the first time,
1:40:21
SPEAKER_00: first time I did the CMS,
1:40:23
SPEAKER_00: I remember the other guys,
1:40:26
SPEAKER_00: the Mikes and Chuck, looking at me like I was nuts because they weren't used to.
1:40:35
SPEAKER_00: Somebody just, you know, and just spitting, you know, you're going to ride my pole.
1:40:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to fuck your hole or whatever I said.
1:40:45
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember what I said, but it was some crazy shit.
1:40:48
SPEAKER_02: You were singing girl money.
1:40:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but it was crazy and it was wild.
1:40:53
SPEAKER_02: When you're out on the pole, girl money.
1:40:56
SPEAKER_02: See if you can find that real quick.
1:40:58
SPEAKER_02: I think you said, I'm going to ram your hole.
1:41:00
SPEAKER_00: Don't you have that handy?
1:41:02
SPEAKER_00: I do.
1:41:03
SPEAKER_00: See if you have that handy.
1:41:04
SPEAKER_00: Because if I remember right,
1:41:08
SPEAKER_00: the first thing you thought,
1:41:10
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you loved it, but at the same time, I know you were like, holy shit.
1:41:14
SPEAKER_00: Am I going to lose this gig that I love doing?
1:41:18
SPEAKER_00: Because this asshole's in here.
1:41:23
SPEAKER_02: That's CMS Archive Clips.
1:41:25
SPEAKER_02: I got it.
1:41:25
SPEAKER_02: Here it is.
1:41:26
SPEAKER_02: Here's Girl Money.
1:41:27
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:41:28
SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
1:41:30
SPEAKER_02: 88.9 WSTB, the classic metal show.
1:41:33
SPEAKER_02: It's kicks from their Hotwire release, and that's called She Money.
1:41:36
SPEAKER_02: She Money.
1:41:37
SPEAKER_02: She Money.
1:41:38
SPEAKER_02: I wonder what that means, She Money.
1:41:40
SPEAKER_00: Because you're out on the pole, She Money.
1:41:44
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to ram your hole, She Money.
1:41:49
SPEAKER_02: That one going out to Keith and Ravenna tonight.
1:41:52
SPEAKER_02: And just before that,
1:41:53
SPEAKER_02: we heard TNT Green Light,
1:41:55
SPEAKER_02: Red Light Go from their most popular release, Blow My Fuse.
1:42:01
SPEAKER_02: Blow My Fuse, among other things.
1:42:02
SPEAKER_00: Among other things.
1:42:04
SPEAKER_00: And then swallow my pride.
1:42:06
SPEAKER_02: Along with other things.
1:42:08
SPEAKER_02: And anyway, Chuck got a very interesting caller tonight.
1:42:13
SPEAKER_02: He's got a fan out there.
1:42:15
SPEAKER_02: Supports his...
1:42:17
SPEAKER_00: Childcare habit.
1:42:21
SPEAKER_02: His fatherly duties.
1:42:22
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, what a guy.
1:42:24
SPEAKER_02: So, Chris being the rotten bastard that he is.
1:42:28
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:42:29
SPEAKER_02: And a friend to us all.
1:42:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:42:31
SPEAKER_00: I got a special dedication out to Chuck and his herd of children.
1:42:36
SPEAKER_00: And all of his friends that support the fact that he is such a good dad.
1:42:41
SPEAKER_00: And then we got one for the strippers from last night as well.
1:42:47
SPEAKER_02: What's up, Mike?
1:42:49
SPEAKER_02: What's up?
1:42:50
SPEAKER_02: You're waving your arms around.
1:42:52
SPEAKER_02: I thought you had something to say.
1:42:54
SPEAKER_02: All right.
1:42:54
SPEAKER_02: Well, this one goes out to Chuck.
1:42:56
SPEAKER_02: It's an Aussie tune.
1:42:57
SPEAKER_02: Chris Akin has personally picked this for his boy, Chuck.
1:43:01
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:43:01
SPEAKER_02: It's Crazy Babies.
1:43:03
SPEAKER_02: Right here on 88.9 WSTB.
1:43:05
SPEAKER_00: The Classic Metal Show.
1:43:11
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that was so out there for that station.
1:43:14
SPEAKER_00: I can't tell you how...
1:43:16
SPEAKER_00: It was a high school station.
1:43:18
SPEAKER_00: You weren't allowed to make sex jokes.
1:43:20
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I said bastard on the air.
1:43:23
SPEAKER_00: You said bastard?
1:43:24
SPEAKER_00: I'm talking about ramming your hole?
1:43:26
SPEAKER_00: What?
1:43:30
SPEAKER_00: You know, we just rolled with it.
1:43:32
SPEAKER_00: It was crazy, but it was fun.
1:43:33
SPEAKER_00: And it was because Howard Stern...
1:43:38
SPEAKER_00: Had shown us the way.
1:43:39
SPEAKER_00: Right.
1:43:40
SPEAKER_00: Howard Stern had opened that door and said, this is funny and you'll like this.
1:43:45
SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
1:43:45
SPEAKER_00: We were like, you know what?
1:43:46
SPEAKER_00: We agree.
1:43:48
SPEAKER_00: We all agreed.
1:43:50
SPEAKER_00: And look what he is now.
1:43:54
SPEAKER_00: Just a pathetic boob.
1:43:56
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:43:57
SPEAKER_02: Well, it even gets more pathetic, Chris.
1:43:59
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
1:44:01
SPEAKER_02: Howard Stern's workplace culture faced fresh scrutiny
1:44:05
SPEAKER_02: after insiders described unusual rules around the radio star.
1:44:10
SPEAKER_02: Staff members allegedly received warnings before company gatherings
1:44:15
SPEAKER_02: about approaching Stern directly.
1:44:18
SPEAKER_02: The claims painted a tense picture inside the SiriusXM operation
1:44:22
SPEAKER_02: with one source comparing the environment to a cult.
1:44:27
SPEAKER_02: Multiple insiders told the U.S. Sun that staffers face strict expectations around Stern 72.
1:44:35
SPEAKER_02: One source claimed employees received warnings before company parties.
1:44:40
SPEAKER_02: People were warned before any company party not to speak to Howard.
1:44:46
SPEAKER_02: The source added that employees had actually gotten fired for it.
1:44:51
SPEAKER_02: Wow.
1:44:52
SPEAKER_02: Stern had reportedly addressed similar rumors previously and denied any Order
1:44:57
SPEAKER_02: against speaking with him.
1:44:58
SPEAKER_02: However, the insiders claimed those warnings continued despite his response.
1:45:03
SPEAKER_02: Other sources described the atmosphere inside
1:45:06
SPEAKER_02: of Stern's New York Sirius XM operation as cultish.
1:45:10
SPEAKER_02: The insider claimed employees constantly sought Stern's approval.
1:45:15
SPEAKER_02: All of these men who work for Stern are so desperate for Howard's attention,
1:45:19
SPEAKER_02: the source alleged,
1:45:21
SPEAKER_02: the insider compared that dynamic to people seeking daddy's approval.
1:45:26
SPEAKER_02: The source also described the office as filled with stern photographs.
1:45:30
SPEAKER_02: Employees reportedly greeted each other with the stern signature, hey now.
1:45:38
SPEAKER_02: Once you step back, you'll see it as something else, the insider said.
1:45:43
SPEAKER_02: A second source agreed that the environment could feel like a cult,
1:45:47
SPEAKER_02: particularly around the outsider's perspective.
1:45:50
SPEAKER_02: The insider suggested employees naturally wanted to please someone
1:45:53
SPEAKER_02: who controlled their workplace.
1:45:56
SPEAKER_02: The claim arrived amid wider turmoil surrounding the Howard Stern shows.
1:46:02
SPEAKER_02: Stern had renewed a serious contract in December, but major staff cuts reportedly followed.
1:46:08
SPEAKER_02: Sources previously claimed at least 40 employees.
1:46:11
SPEAKER_02: Some employees lost their job during February's layoff.
1:46:14
SPEAKER_02: Another round reportedly eliminated 16 positions in July,
1:46:19
SPEAKER_02: including at least five on-air personalities.
1:46:22
SPEAKER_02: Some departing employees also reported struggling with SiriusXM over severance packages.
1:46:30
SPEAKER_02: The shakeup came after Stern announced plans for a reduced schedule.
1:46:34
SPEAKER_02: He was expected to return from a summer break in September
1:46:37
SPEAKER_02: with just one live broadcast each week.
1:46:40
SPEAKER_02: Listeners reportedly reacted angrily with some threatening
1:46:44
SPEAKER_02: to cancel their SiriusXM subscription.
1:46:47
SPEAKER_02: Meanwhile, Stern's wife Beth defended him discussing his animal rescue work with Bella.
1:46:53
SPEAKER_02: He makes everything in my life good, she said.
1:46:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's a billionaire.
1:46:57
SPEAKER_02: Of course your life is good.
1:46:59
SPEAKER_00: How is that ugly broad considered a hot model?
1:47:03
SPEAKER_00: She's not hot.
1:47:05
SPEAKER_00: Do you think she's hot?
1:47:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:47:08
SPEAKER_02: Wouldn't even recognize her if I saw her on the street.
1:47:12
SPEAKER_00: She's not a great looking girl.
1:47:13
SPEAKER_00: She's all right.
1:47:15
SPEAKER_00: Six.
1:47:17
SPEAKER_00: Six, seven.
1:47:18
SPEAKER_00: Probably seven.
1:47:20
SPEAKER_00: Let me see if I can't find a picture of her real quick.
1:47:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure there's some fucking bullshit pictures of this pig with a fucking cat
1:47:31
SPEAKER_00: in her hand or something.
1:47:34
SPEAKER_00: Here's a good one.
1:47:35
SPEAKER_00: Open image in a new tab.
1:47:42
SPEAKER_02: She kind of has a little bit of a Christy Brinkley look about her.
1:47:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:47:47
SPEAKER_00: With a Mr.
1:47:48
SPEAKER_00: Potato Head mouth on it.
1:47:52
SPEAKER_00: She's got that alligator mouth.
1:47:54
SPEAKER_00: She does.
1:47:56
SPEAKER_00: She's sort of like Julia Roberts.
1:47:57
SPEAKER_00: She can nibble on her own ears.
1:47:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:48:00
SPEAKER_00: Big mouth going out.
1:48:02
SPEAKER_00: Again, I didn't say she's, I said she's about a seven.
1:48:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she's okay.
1:48:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, she's all right.
1:48:08
SPEAKER_02: She's a middle-aged blonde lady.
1:48:11
SPEAKER_00: And she's playing it right.
1:48:12
SPEAKER_00: She's standing next to an ugly, awful-looking guy.
1:48:15
SPEAKER_00: Makes her look even better.
1:48:17
SPEAKER_02: Right, of course.
1:48:19
SPEAKER_00: But she's not.
1:48:20
SPEAKER_00: Howard talks about her like she's like Sidney Sweeney.
1:48:23
SPEAKER_00: It's like, please.
1:48:24
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, you've got to realize that how long have they been together?
1:48:27
SPEAKER_02: They've been together for like 20, 20 years at least.
1:48:31
SPEAKER_00: 15, 20, something like that, yeah.
1:48:32
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so 20 years ago.
1:48:34
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
1:48:35
SPEAKER_02: You know, what, is she in her mid-40s now?
1:48:39
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
1:48:40
SPEAKER_02: I'm guessing.
1:48:41
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, probably, or maybe even 50.
1:48:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so.
1:48:45
SPEAKER_00: Beth Stern, Beth Ostrowski.
1:48:48
SPEAKER_00: She was born in 72.
1:48:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
1:48:50
SPEAKER_00: So what does that make her?
1:48:51
SPEAKER_00: 72 to 2022 would be 50.
1:48:55
SPEAKER_00: 54?
1:48:56
SPEAKER_00: 54.
1:48:56
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
1:48:59
SPEAKER_00: If Howard didn't have all that money, she'd be looking to co-op with Donna Mills.
1:49:06
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, she doesn't have anything to worry about.
1:49:09
SPEAKER_02: No, I'd say no.
1:49:11
SPEAKER_02: So, well,
1:49:12
SPEAKER_02: for Howard,
1:49:13
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:49:14
SPEAKER_02: sticking with his second wife probably longer than he was with his first wife.
1:49:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:49:21
SPEAKER_00: Because he knows this one will take everything.
1:49:23
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know.
1:49:23
SPEAKER_02: But he didn't bang out any kids with her, though.
1:49:26
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:49:27
SPEAKER_00: Smart.
1:49:28
SPEAKER_00: I'll give him that.
1:49:28
SPEAKER_00: He's smart on that one.
1:49:30
SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
1:49:32
SPEAKER_02: All right.
1:49:33
SPEAKER_02: So there you are.
1:49:33
SPEAKER_00: They got married in 2008.
1:49:36
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:49:36
SPEAKER_00: So it's been...
1:49:37
SPEAKER_00: Almost 20 years.
1:49:38
SPEAKER_02: 18 years.
1:49:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:49:41
SPEAKER_00: Oh, shut up, Jim.
1:49:42
SPEAKER_00: Jim is fucking a fucking fruit.
1:49:45
SPEAKER_00: She looks better than Sweeney.
1:49:47
SPEAKER_00: Oh, stop it.
1:49:48
SPEAKER_00: Would you stop?
1:49:50
SPEAKER_00: I know you don't want to acknowledge because we like her and because we've ragged
1:49:55
SPEAKER_00: on your boy Blackmore to the point that you have to fucking throw that in there.
1:50:00
SPEAKER_00: But you're delusional on this one, Jim.
1:50:03
SPEAKER_00: You just come off like a delusional.
1:50:05
SPEAKER_00: You're coming off like Britney Spears.
1:50:09
SPEAKER_00: Next thing you know,
1:50:09
SPEAKER_00: there'll be you fucking dancing to Deep Purple songs,
1:50:13
SPEAKER_00: spinning around, showing your package or whatever.
1:50:16
SPEAKER_00: Fucking fruit ball.
1:50:19
SPEAKER_00: Stop it.
1:50:19
SPEAKER_00: Sydney Sweeney's hot.
1:50:21
SPEAKER_00: And I don't care if you think she's the hottest or not.
1:50:23
SPEAKER_00: You cannot deny that she's hot.
1:50:25
SPEAKER_00: If you deny she's hot, it's because you like cock.
1:50:28
SPEAKER_00: Period.
1:50:29
SPEAKER_00: There's no one that can deny that she's hot.
1:50:33
SPEAKER_00: It's just not possible.
1:50:36
SPEAKER_00: Is it?
1:50:37
SPEAKER_00: Honestly.
1:50:38
SPEAKER_00: If you did, I mean,
1:50:41
SPEAKER_00: there's, like,
1:50:42
SPEAKER_00: I don't personally think Megan Fox is hot,
1:50:45
SPEAKER_00: hot, but I certainly wouldn't say that she's ugly.
1:50:51
SPEAKER_00: Jim with this, oh, she's a fucking dog.
1:50:53
SPEAKER_00: Get the fuck out of here, you dummy.
1:50:56
SPEAKER_00: Stop it.
1:50:57
SPEAKER_00: Go watch those videos again of your boy with his fucking sweats tucked
1:51:01
SPEAKER_00: into his socks and his fucking awful wig.
1:51:05
SPEAKER_00: It's too bad he didn't have a stroke on stage.
1:51:07
SPEAKER_00: What do you think of that?
1:51:10
SPEAKER_00: Smoke on the corpse's water.
1:51:11
SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
1:51:15
SPEAKER_00: All right.
1:51:15
SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
1:51:18
SPEAKER_02: All right.
1:51:19
SPEAKER_02: Well, I don't know if you've heard this being that you're a football fan and all.
1:51:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:51:26
SPEAKER_02: San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York used alias,
1:51:31
SPEAKER_02: contacted prostitution three times before his arrest.
1:51:35
SPEAKER_02: Did you hear about this?
1:51:38
SPEAKER_02: I did, yeah.
1:51:39
SPEAKER_00: Because it happened right here.
1:51:41
SPEAKER_00: Happened in East Palestine.
1:51:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:51:43
SPEAKER_02: So this is something submitted by Brian from Tennessee.
1:51:50
SPEAKER_02: He wanted to share with us that the 49ers owner was trying to buy some pussy.
1:51:58
SPEAKER_00: See, I have such a problem with this story.
1:52:01
SPEAKER_00: You can read this story.
1:52:02
SPEAKER_00: The story is the guy fucking contacted cops and got arrested in a fucking porn ring.
1:52:09
SPEAKER_00: He's a billionaire.
1:52:11
SPEAKER_00: Why the fuck is he contacting anybody?
1:52:16
SPEAKER_00: Doesn't he have people to do that?
1:52:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you would think so.
1:52:20
SPEAKER_00: Couldn't he get somebody else to say, hey, I have a special client.
1:52:24
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:52:24
SPEAKER_00: He wants to get his dick sucked and he wants to fucking get somebody
1:52:27
SPEAKER_00: to ride his dick, reverse cowgirl.
1:52:30
SPEAKER_00: He'll give you 10 grand.
1:52:32
SPEAKER_00: Couldn't he just do that?
1:52:34
SPEAKER_00: But no, he's going for what?
1:52:35
SPEAKER_00: Cheap pussy?
1:52:36
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that what the story is?
1:52:37
SPEAKER_00: Is that he was going for like $100 fucking piece of ass?
1:52:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, this is a story about cheap pussy.
1:52:43
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
1:52:44
SPEAKER_00: Why does a billionaire,
1:52:47
SPEAKER_00: why doesn't a red flag go off in a billionaire's head that somebody's offered pussy
1:52:52
SPEAKER_00: to him for $140?
1:52:53
SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that?
1:52:56
SPEAKER_00: Look, I am not a billionaire.
1:52:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm barely a hundredaire.
1:53:00
SPEAKER_00: And I will say this,
1:53:02
SPEAKER_00: if somebody said, hey,
1:53:03
SPEAKER_00: there's a hooker,
1:53:05
SPEAKER_00: she'll suck you and fuck you for $140,
1:53:10
SPEAKER_00: everything's going off in my head that that is a huge red flag.

1:54:25

1:54:29
SPEAKER_02: So, I see you brought some Zima.
1:54:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, sit down.
1:54:32
SPEAKER_00: Have a brownie.
1:54:34
SPEAKER_00: Have a chocolate cookie.
1:54:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
1:54:37
SPEAKER_00: I mean...
1:54:39
SPEAKER_00: $140 for sex is so cheap.
1:54:43
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not even in the hooker game, but I know that.
1:54:46
SPEAKER_00: If you're going to get a decent hooker and not some street slut that leans in
1:54:50
SPEAKER_00: the door and sucks your dick in your car,
1:54:53
SPEAKER_00: you're paying like three to five to get something decent.
1:54:59
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, what was he thinking?
1:55:02
SPEAKER_00: What was he thinking he was going to pick up in a trailer park in bumfuck Ohio for $140?
1:55:10
SPEAKER_00: Realize $140 barely pays the parking to get into his goddamn football games.
1:55:18
SPEAKER_00: What was he thinking?
1:55:21
SPEAKER_02: Maybe we can get him on the show and ask him.
1:55:23
SPEAKER_02: I'd love to.
1:55:24
SPEAKER_02: We only have one question for you.
1:55:26
SPEAKER_02: What were you thinking?
1:55:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:55:31
SPEAKER_02: San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York was desperate to meet up with a prostitute,
1:55:42
SPEAKER_02: pinging a fake sex ad multiple times while trying to hide his famous identity,
1:55:49
SPEAKER_02: according to the new police documents obtained by the California Post,
1:55:54
SPEAKER_02: he was told he would be charged $160 and offered unprotected sex costs for
1:56:02
SPEAKER_02: an additional $20.
1:56:03
SPEAKER_00: Does that not set off every bell in your head?
1:56:09
SPEAKER_02: I mean, what guy would fuck a prostitute without protection?
1:56:15
SPEAKER_00: You know what guy would?
1:56:16
SPEAKER_00: A meth head.
1:56:18
SPEAKER_00: Not a guy that has billions to lose.
1:56:22
SPEAKER_00: This guy had so, I mean, he might lose his team.
1:56:27
SPEAKER_00: I mean, legitimately,
1:56:29
SPEAKER_00: I don't think he will because Robert Kraft was fucking whores too and they just let
1:56:32
SPEAKER_00: that go.
1:56:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:56:34
SPEAKER_00: So they'll probably just let this guy go as well,
1:56:36
SPEAKER_00: but he legitimately could be forced to sell his team.
1:56:41
SPEAKER_00: Like that, what was the basketball guy?
1:56:44
SPEAKER_02: Because of his quote unquote, his racism.
1:56:46
SPEAKER_02: His racism or whatever.
1:56:48
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
1:56:48
SPEAKER_00: This guy's out fucking prostitutes.
1:56:52
SPEAKER_00: He could easily lose his team over potentially $160 head.
1:57:05
SPEAKER_00: How is this guy in charge of paying hundreds of millions of dollars to players
1:57:09
SPEAKER_00: to get on a field?
1:57:11
SPEAKER_00: How is he responsible for all that?
1:57:14
SPEAKER_02: And the thing is, is,
1:57:15
SPEAKER_02: you know,
1:57:15
SPEAKER_02: when a guy like him,
1:57:17
SPEAKER_02: him of, you know, stature and money, I mean, He
1:57:23
SPEAKER_00: could have chicks all day long.
1:57:25
SPEAKER_00: All day long.
1:57:27
SPEAKER_00: They will volunteer to ride his dick.
1:57:30
SPEAKER_00: They will line up for fucking passes to the loge at the fucking 49er games.
1:57:42
SPEAKER_00: I do not get it.
1:57:44
SPEAKER_00: I've read this story a couple of times looking for a gotcha or something, and I don't see it.
1:57:52
SPEAKER_00: He's a decent looking dude, dude.
1:57:54
SPEAKER_00: That's the other thing, too.
1:57:55
SPEAKER_00: He's not built like me.
1:57:58
SPEAKER_00: He's like in good shape.
1:58:00
SPEAKER_00: He's worth billions.
1:58:03
SPEAKER_00: What the fuck?
1:58:04
SPEAKER_00: Chicks line up for those kind of guys.
1:58:07
SPEAKER_00: Chicks are letting you fuck them in the ass on the first day, hoping to get some of that money.
1:58:13
SPEAKER_00: What an idiot.
1:58:15
SPEAKER_02: York first tried to arrange sex through the undercover ad on Saturday,
1:58:19
SPEAKER_02: a Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force reported.
1:58:25
SPEAKER_02: What was he doing in Mahoning Valley?
1:58:27
SPEAKER_02: He's from there.
1:58:28
SPEAKER_02: Oh, he's from there?
1:58:30
SPEAKER_02: He's from the Youngstown area?
1:58:31
SPEAKER_02: Originally, yes.
1:58:33
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
1:58:35
SPEAKER_02: York messaged the female and advised that his name was Joe.
1:58:39
SPEAKER_00: Hi, I'm Joe.
1:58:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm Joe York,
1:58:42
SPEAKER_00: no relation to the millionaire,
1:58:44
SPEAKER_00: billionaire, I'm sorry, the billionaire owner of the 49ers.
1:58:48
SPEAKER_02: And that he would like to visit the female.
1:58:51
SPEAKER_02: Detectives wrote in a document later that same day, York allegedly reached out again.
1:58:57
SPEAKER_02: He advised that he was just checking in and was seeing if the female was available.
1:59:03
SPEAKER_00: By the way, is that pussy still wet?
1:59:06
SPEAKER_00: I'm really horny for you.
1:59:08
SPEAKER_00: That's me, Joe.
1:59:10
SPEAKER_00: Joe Smith.
1:59:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, tell them Joe sent you.
1:59:14
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Joe Smith is looking to hook up with you.
1:59:16
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:59:20
SPEAKER_02: When both messages went unanswered by the undercover agent involved in the sting,
1:59:25
SPEAKER_02: York again reached out at 9.11 a.m. Sunday.
1:59:31
SPEAKER_02: Had that morning wood going?
1:59:34
SPEAKER_02: Apparently so.
1:59:38
SPEAKER_02: He asked if the female was free and that he would love to come see her.
1:59:44
SPEAKER_02: York allegedly said he was coming in from Boardman.
1:59:48
SPEAKER_02: That's where our good friend Mikey lives, down in that area.
1:59:51
SPEAKER_02: Right.
1:59:52
SPEAKER_02: About 25 miles away or minutes away.
1:59:55
SPEAKER_02: He wanted the woman to shoot him an address.
2:00:00
SPEAKER_02: He then, according to the report, asked how much the female would charge for an hour.
2:00:06
SPEAKER_02: And she said 160?
2:00:08
SPEAKER_02: Well, he was advised that the full service sexual activity was 160 bucks
2:00:15
SPEAKER_02: with unprotected sex being $20 more.
2:00:19
SPEAKER_02: York advised that the $160 would work for him and he was on his way.
2:00:25
SPEAKER_02: He's cheap as well as a billionaire.
2:00:28
SPEAKER_02: York was given a meeting location address,
2:00:31
SPEAKER_02: which was at East Palestine Trailer Park with a fictitious lot number.
2:00:37
SPEAKER_02: Shortly after York arrived,
2:00:38
SPEAKER_02: the report stated he was stopped by a marked unit and arrested at 935.
2:00:46
SPEAKER_00: Ironically, they found him with his dick in his hand, rock hard.
2:00:52
SPEAKER_02: York had $160 on him.
2:00:56
SPEAKER_02: He had just 160.
2:00:57
SPEAKER_02: That was it.
2:00:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:01:00
SPEAKER_00: Right next to his fucking black Amex, his unlimited Amex that I'm sure he has in his pocket.
2:01:07
SPEAKER_02: Which was seized, officials said.
2:01:09
SPEAKER_02: The text message to York's iPhone revealed that it was the one used to arrange
2:01:16
SPEAKER_02: the criminal activity.
2:01:17
SPEAKER_00: Jesus.
2:01:18
SPEAKER_00: So he just used his regular phone.
2:01:21
SPEAKER_02: He didn't even have a naughty boy phone.
2:01:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he didn't.
2:01:25
SPEAKER_00: As cheap as this fuck is, how did he not go to Walmart and buy a burner?
2:01:31
SPEAKER_00: And again, I have no problem with prostitution.
2:01:34
SPEAKER_00: I honestly think prostitution should be legal.
2:01:36
SPEAKER_00: Fucking dating is prostitution.
2:01:38
SPEAKER_00: Let's call it what it is.
2:01:40
SPEAKER_00: Going out on dates is a fucking act of prostitution.
2:01:45
SPEAKER_00: So making it illegal, I'm not even for that.
2:01:49
SPEAKER_00: But this guy couldn't be more stupid if I hit him in the head with a bat.
2:01:54
SPEAKER_00: He is stupid.
2:01:57
SPEAKER_00: Did he show up with a fucking in a Bentley that says 49 or one on it or something?
2:02:03
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's a good thing because the next sentence says York was driving
2:02:08
SPEAKER_02: an Avis rental car at the time of the arrest.
2:02:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:02:11
SPEAKER_00: Well, that makes sense because he's not from here or he doesn't live here now.
2:02:14
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
2:02:16
SPEAKER_02: York was taken into custody and booked on two separate charges,
2:02:19
SPEAKER_02: one count of engaging in prostitution and one count of possessing criminal tools,
2:02:24
SPEAKER_02: criminal tools.
2:02:26
SPEAKER_00: Zima.
2:02:30
SPEAKER_02: After reaching a deal with prosecutors,
2:02:32
SPEAKER_02: he pled no contest to a lesser charge of disorderly conduct,
2:02:36
SPEAKER_02: as well as one count of possession of criminal tools.
2:02:40
SPEAKER_02: What is a criminal tool?
2:02:42
SPEAKER_00: I think it's a criminal tool if you use a phone and the internet to arrange for sex.
2:02:48
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
2:02:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm pretty sure I've heard Chris Hansen say that a couple times when I'm watching Takedown.
2:02:54
SPEAKER_02: Okay, all right.
2:02:55
SPEAKER_02: He was ordered to pay $1,150 in fines and was sentenced to one day in jail,
2:03:01
SPEAKER_02: though he was given credit for time served and he was released.
2:03:05
SPEAKER_02: The incident came roughly four months after York filed for divorce from his wife.
2:03:11
SPEAKER_02: Danielle Balumi or whatever her name is.
2:03:15
SPEAKER_02: York stated in his divorce petition,
2:03:20
SPEAKER_02: which he submitted on May 11th,
2:03:23
SPEAKER_02: the couple wed in June of 2011 and had suffered irreconcilable differences.
2:03:29
SPEAKER_02: Well, because he likes to fuck...
2:03:34
SPEAKER_00: Either that or the real story here is that this rich bitch that's going
2:03:37
SPEAKER_00: to take half his money and more now that he's been arrested for fucking prostitutes.
2:03:43
SPEAKER_00: She wasn't doing her gig.
2:03:45
SPEAKER_00: She knew that she had signed and she was going to get half his fucking dough
2:03:48
SPEAKER_00: or whatever they agreed to in a prenup or whatever.
2:03:53
SPEAKER_00: So she wasn't doing what she's supposed to.
2:03:54
SPEAKER_00: She wasn't giving up the ass, wasn't sucking his dick regularly or whatever.
2:03:58
SPEAKER_00: So he went out to get it.
2:04:00
SPEAKER_00: You know that's what this is.
2:04:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
2:04:02
SPEAKER_02: of course.
2:04:03
SPEAKER_02: I never understand why these guys, these very wealthy guys, end up getting married.
2:04:08
SPEAKER_02: I don't get it.
2:04:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:04:10
SPEAKER_00: The minute they start closing in on that first million, they should cut the bitch loose.
2:04:15
SPEAKER_00: Even if they love her to death, still cut her loose.
2:04:19
SPEAKER_00: Because she's going to turn into a cunt.
2:04:21
SPEAKER_00: That's what happens when you give anybody free money.
2:04:24
SPEAKER_00: They turn into an idiot.
2:04:27
SPEAKER_00: And that's just what happens with all these bitches.
2:04:31
SPEAKER_02: York lists their data separation as to be determined while noting he was looking
2:04:36
SPEAKER_02: for joint legal and physical custody of their two younger sons.
2:04:41
SPEAKER_02: He also disclosed that the couple entered into a premarital agreement in July of 2011.
2:04:47
SPEAKER_02: The Niner said in a statement on Monday that because York's arrest was
2:04:51
SPEAKER_02: a legal matter that had been resolved,
2:04:53
SPEAKER_02: he would not be providing any further comment at this time.
2:04:57
SPEAKER_02: The NFL said it is investigating the situation,
2:05:00
SPEAKER_02: though its personal conduct Through its personal conduct policy,
2:05:06
SPEAKER_02: York was named team president in 2008, became the organization's owner in 2024.
2:05:12
SPEAKER_02: The Niners wrap up their preseason on Thursday with a game against the Raiders
2:05:16
SPEAKER_02: before they kick off their regular season against the Rams in Australia
2:05:20
SPEAKER_02: on September 10th.
2:05:23
SPEAKER_00: Wonderful.
2:05:25
SPEAKER_00: And this guy will get a slap on the wrist from the league.
2:05:27
SPEAKER_02: So he was just visiting Mahoney County?
2:05:31
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he was visiting his parents or
2:05:33
SPEAKER_02: some shit.
2:05:35
SPEAKER_02: That's kind of like what Pee Wee Herman got busted.
2:05:37
SPEAKER_02: He was visiting his parents in Florida and went to that adult theater.
2:05:43
SPEAKER_00: Adult theater got caught jerking his dick.
2:05:46
SPEAKER_02: Hey, Mom, Dad, I'm home.
2:05:48
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to go visit a prostitute at the trailer park.
2:05:52
SPEAKER_02: I'll be back.
2:05:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to go take a drive, Mom.
2:05:59
SPEAKER_00: Who does he have to call?
2:06:00
SPEAKER_00: Does he call his mom and dad or does he call like the team or somebody to send
2:06:05
SPEAKER_00: a representative to get him?
2:06:08
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
2:06:10
SPEAKER_00: I would love to know.
2:06:11
SPEAKER_00: Dude, I'd love to see a documentary of what happens from the time of his arrest.
2:06:15
SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't you like to see that?
2:06:17
SPEAKER_00: You know, how do you notify the team?
2:06:19
SPEAKER_00: How do you notify the league?
2:06:23
SPEAKER_00: Hello, Roger Goodell?
2:06:24
SPEAKER_00: Hey, it's me, Jed York.
2:06:26
SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
2:06:26
SPEAKER_00: I got arrested for getting my dick sucked in a trailer park.
2:06:30
SPEAKER_00: What?
2:06:36
SPEAKER_02: Oh, man.
2:06:38
SPEAKER_02: What an idiot.
2:06:42
SPEAKER_02: When you're wealthy like that or you're a high-profile celebrity or anything,
2:06:49
SPEAKER_02: you just can't do normal people stuff.
2:06:52
SPEAKER_02: You just can't do that.
2:06:55
SPEAKER_00: And you don't need to do that because you've hit the lottery.
2:06:58
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:07:00
SPEAKER_00: Live like a lottery winner.
2:07:02
SPEAKER_00: Have people bring you in the pussy.
2:07:05
SPEAKER_00: That's what all the rich rappers do.
2:07:07
SPEAKER_00: They don't go out there and fucking hunt it down.
2:07:10
SPEAKER_00: Have somebody bring it to them.
2:07:12
SPEAKER_00: Remember the stories, even Def Leppard.
2:07:14
SPEAKER_00: Remember the stories in the 80s about Def Leppard that they used
2:07:16
SPEAKER_00: to send their roadies out to give all the hot girls passes and then they'd bring
2:07:24
SPEAKER_00: the hot girls back.
2:07:25
SPEAKER_00: The roadies brought them back.
2:07:28
SPEAKER_00: They didn't do it themselves.
2:07:29
SPEAKER_00: They just were there and like, hey, this dick ain't sucking itself.
2:07:32
SPEAKER_00: You want to?
2:07:33
SPEAKER_00: And they would because the roadies had made it clear what they had to do
2:07:37
SPEAKER_00: to stay backstage to get Phil Collins fucking full attention or whatever.
2:07:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, I mean, come on.
2:07:45
SPEAKER_00: This is not rocket science here.
2:07:48
SPEAKER_00: If you want to get your dick sucked, have somebody go do that for you.
2:07:52
SPEAKER_00: Put somebody on a payroll for 100 grand a year.
2:07:54
SPEAKER_00: They'll be more than happy to arrange this kind of shit for you.
2:07:58
SPEAKER_00: Don't you think?
2:08:00
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's the perks of being wealthy.
2:08:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:08:06
SPEAKER_00: There's a price.
2:08:07
SPEAKER_02: And you keep yourself out of the line of fire.
2:08:10
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
2:08:14
SPEAKER_00: Everything about this guy is as dumb as it can be.
2:08:17
SPEAKER_00: It's like, who did, you know what my first thought was when I saw this story?
2:08:21
SPEAKER_00: And I swear to God, this was my first thought.
2:08:24
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't what a dumbass this guy is or how could he get into this or any of those things.
2:08:31
SPEAKER_00: My first thought was, who did he inherit his money from?
2:08:36
SPEAKER_00: Because this guy clearly didn't come up from poor to rich to experience how to deal with it.
2:08:45
SPEAKER_00: He's still thinking like a fucking guy that changes tires.
2:08:49
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:08:50
SPEAKER_00: You know, he's not thinking like a billionaire.
2:08:52
SPEAKER_00: He's thinking like a guy that owns a diner.
2:08:56
SPEAKER_00: Well, $100 for a fucking piece of ass.
2:08:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let me go get that.
2:08:59
SPEAKER_00: That's great.
2:09:01
SPEAKER_00: Dude, everything about that is bad.
2:09:04
SPEAKER_00: Spend $10,000 for a high-end escort.
2:09:07
SPEAKER_00: It's not going to hurt you.
2:09:08
SPEAKER_00: You're not going to feel that any more than you would the $150
2:09:11
SPEAKER_00: that you were supposed to spend to get your dick sucked.
2:09:15
SPEAKER_00: Would he?
2:09:16
SPEAKER_00: I honestly, the guy's worth, he owns the 49ers.
2:09:19
SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be worth $10 billion, right?
2:09:22
SPEAKER_02: You would think so.
2:09:23
SPEAKER_02: And what's interesting is that the D Bartolos own the 49ers and they were from
2:09:27
SPEAKER_02: the Youngstown area too.
2:09:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:09:31
SPEAKER_00: But I mean, what does $10,000 feel like to a guy that has $10 billion?
2:09:36
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
2:09:37
SPEAKER_02: Nothing.
2:09:38
SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
2:09:39
SPEAKER_00: It's like me handing you a five.
2:09:41
SPEAKER_00: You go, man, here's a fiver.
2:09:43
SPEAKER_00: It's like paying for locals.
2:09:46
SPEAKER_00: It's like paying for locals.
2:09:47
SPEAKER_00: Pretty much.
2:09:49
SPEAKER_00: For this guy, but he's too dumb to do that and get high-end really good pussy.
2:09:54
SPEAKER_00: Instead, he's going to go for some...
2:09:56
SPEAKER_02: Trailer park.
2:09:57
SPEAKER_00: Trailer park pussy for $140
2:10:01
SPEAKER_02: or whatever it is.
2:10:01
SPEAKER_02: He's going to...
2:10:03
SPEAKER_02: And here's the other thing,
2:10:05
SPEAKER_02: and I know you made it very clear that these type of things don't cross your mind,
2:10:10
SPEAKER_02: but say this was even a real proposition.
2:10:14
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
2:10:15
SPEAKER_02: What kind of a horror show are you going to walk into in a trailer park of all places?
2:10:21
SPEAKER_02: And
2:10:24
SPEAKER_02: the cleanliness and the chances of catching some kind of nasty-ass disease
2:10:29
SPEAKER_02: and some drug-addled disease.
2:10:33
SPEAKER_02: Just a mess.
2:10:36
SPEAKER_02: And you're willing to be a billionaire guy and go to a scummy trailer park
2:10:41
SPEAKER_02: and have some toothless, drug-addled whore suck your dick?
2:10:45
SPEAKER_00: Are you kidding me?
2:10:47
SPEAKER_00: And dude,
2:10:48
SPEAKER_00: I can tell you as an experienced whore buyer in the old days,
2:10:53
SPEAKER_00: the chicks are not really willing to go without a rubber.
2:10:58
SPEAKER_00: I remember when I was in South Carolina,
2:11:01
SPEAKER_00: we got our first passes when I was in AIT,
2:11:04
SPEAKER_00: and we went to the Holiday Inn in North Carolina.
2:11:08
SPEAKER_00: It was me and my friend Eric,
2:11:10
SPEAKER_00: and he went out and got a hooker, and this hooker was horrid, horrid.
2:11:15
SPEAKER_00: Black chick, probably 180 pounds, nothing to look at.
2:11:23
SPEAKER_00: It was like fucking Wheezy.
2:11:26
SPEAKER_00: It was really, really gnarly.
2:11:30
SPEAKER_00: And immediately, I didn't want to even deal with it.
2:11:33
SPEAKER_00: Especially because I was coming in second after Eric had already banged her
2:11:36
SPEAKER_00: and I really wasn't so hot for that.
2:11:41
SPEAKER_00: But he had paid her.
2:11:42
SPEAKER_00: He had already paid her to fuck us both.
2:11:45
SPEAKER_00: And...
2:11:46
SPEAKER_00: So I was like, okay.
2:11:48
SPEAKER_00: And she slapped a condom on me immediately.
2:11:50
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, and she was just going to blow me.
2:11:53
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, I don't want to use a condom if you're just going to suck my dick.
2:11:57
SPEAKER_00: Now, I want to remind everybody I was 17 years old.
2:12:00
SPEAKER_00: So, you know, I didn't have any smarts at all at that point.
2:12:04
SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to get my dick sucked.
2:12:06
SPEAKER_00: And she was like, nope, not going to.
2:12:08
SPEAKER_00: She literally was like, not going to suck your dick unless you got a condom on.
2:12:12
SPEAKER_00: And if that's an issue, then we're out and no refunds.
2:12:17
SPEAKER_00: I was like, all right, put the condom on.
2:12:18
SPEAKER_00: And then she sucked my dick in for about three seconds.
2:12:21
SPEAKER_00: I was like, all right, I'm done here.
2:12:22
SPEAKER_00: I just was like, I didn't want nothing to do with it.
2:12:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's like, yuck.
2:12:30
SPEAKER_00: No, you're wrong, Fuego.
2:12:31
SPEAKER_00: Is it Fuego or Shelly?
2:12:34
SPEAKER_00: You're wrong, Shelly.
2:12:35
SPEAKER_00: Back in those days,
2:12:36
SPEAKER_00: I was quite fine to go in second, third, or fourth, but not with this ugly broad.
2:12:40
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:12:44
SPEAKER_02: It's so funny the different standards you apply.
2:12:47
SPEAKER_02: I have crazy standards.
2:12:48
SPEAKER_02: I know it.
2:12:49
SPEAKER_02: Earlier in the show,
2:12:50
SPEAKER_02: you talked about some nasty,
2:12:52
SPEAKER_02: ugly chicks that you were willing to put your face in their snatch,
2:12:56
SPEAKER_02: but you're not willing to have an ugly chick such as
2:12:59
SPEAKER_00: you did.
2:13:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, there's a difference.
2:13:02
SPEAKER_00: There's a difference?
2:13:04
SPEAKER_00: There is a difference, yes.
2:13:05
SPEAKER_00: What's the difference?
2:13:07
SPEAKER_00: The difference is I get probably more enjoyment out of eating pussy
2:13:11
SPEAKER_00: than I do fucking get my dick sucked.
2:13:13
SPEAKER_00: But you didn't offer to eat her pussy, did you?
2:13:16
SPEAKER_00: Who?
2:13:17
SPEAKER_00: No, not that.
2:13:17
SPEAKER_00: No, but that was a different situation.
2:13:20
SPEAKER_00: Oh, see, everything's different.
2:13:22
SPEAKER_00: Well, that wasn't different.
2:13:23
SPEAKER_00: Who's going to eat out a hooker?

2:14:14
SPEAKER_00: But I'm all about, look, and I mean, if we're going to get into this, we can get into this too.
2:14:21

SPEAKER_00: If the option is getting a blowjob or eating out a bitch that's

SPEAKER_00: on her fucking period, I'm down fucking getting my red wings every time.
2:14:33
SPEAKER_00: Every time.
2:14:35

2:14:41
SPEAKER_00: on her belly or some shit like that.
2:14:43
SPEAKER_00: There's something wicked, sickly fun about that kind of shit.
2:14:46
SPEAKER_02: Well, I think you have the disease that this fox guy has.
2:14:50
SPEAKER_02: He found it wicked fun to go seek out trailer park.
2:14:53
SPEAKER_00: Trailer park pussy, maybe.
2:14:57
SPEAKER_00: Maybe.
2:14:57
SPEAKER_00: Don't think I didn't MapQuest to see where he was at.
2:15:00
SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
2:15:02
SPEAKER_00: 140, huh?
2:15:05
SPEAKER_02: I'm a dirty boy.
2:15:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm a dirty boy.
2:15:10
SPEAKER_02: Seeking out cheap prostitute pussy.
2:15:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:15:14
SPEAKER_00: Well, if I had a billion dollars,
2:15:16
SPEAKER_00: though, there's no way would I be seeking out trailer park pussy.
2:15:19
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:15:20
SPEAKER_00: The guy could literally buy the trailer park and get the pussy for free.
2:15:23
SPEAKER_00: I mean, what do you think a trailer park in East Palestine costs?
2:15:31
SPEAKER_00: Honestly, what do you think a trailer park in East Palestine costs?
2:15:34
SPEAKER_00: A hundred grand?
2:15:35
SPEAKER_02: A hundred thousand dollars.
2:15:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:15:38
SPEAKER_00: What is a hundred thousand dollars to somebody that has 10 billion?
2:15:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:15:43
SPEAKER_00: And then he could just go right up to the fucking whore and say, look, you want to stay here?
2:15:48
SPEAKER_00: Rent free.
2:15:50
SPEAKER_00: But about three times a month, I'm going to fly in here.
2:15:52
SPEAKER_00: You're going to fucking take my seed.
2:15:54
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:15:56
SPEAKER_02: Trailer park pussy.
2:15:58
SPEAKER_00: Guy is an idiot.
2:16:02
SPEAKER_00: Rich, Chris is one sick puppy.
2:16:04
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
2:16:06
SPEAKER_00: I've never said I wasn't.
2:16:09
SPEAKER_00: Never.
2:16:14
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:16:14
SPEAKER_02: Well, since we're on the sex subject here.
2:16:17
SPEAKER_00: You know what I find funny real quick and we go right back to it.
2:16:19
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
2:16:20
SPEAKER_00: I think there's people in the chat room that really think I'm just putting on an act
2:16:25
SPEAKER_00: and they are a thousand percent wrong.
2:16:29
SPEAKER_00: I really am this guy.
2:16:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm just a fucking filthy perv.
2:16:36
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, go ahead.
2:16:37
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:16:39
SPEAKER_02: In an unsettling scene that unfolded on July 19th of 2026,
2:16:47
SPEAKER_02: Trista Riley, 43,
2:16:49
SPEAKER_02: and Christopher Arnold, 42,
2:16:52
SPEAKER_02: allegedly performed lewd acts in plain view of fellow passengers during
2:16:58
SPEAKER_02: a JetBlue flight from New York's JFK Airport to Florida,
2:17:02
SPEAKER_02: Sarasota, Bradenton International Airport.
2:17:06
SPEAKER_02: The grievous incident reported by a vigilant mother and confirmed
2:17:10
SPEAKER_02: by flight attendants led to the couple's immediate arrest upon landing in
2:17:15
SPEAKER_02: a permanent ban from JetBlue,
2:17:18
SPEAKER_02: spotlighting a disturbing breach of public decency in
2:17:21
SPEAKER_02: a confined high-stakes environment.
2:17:27
SPEAKER_02: The alleged misconduct took place mid-flight around 10.30 a.m.
2:17:31
SPEAKER_02: when a horrified mother traveling with her two children alerted a flight attendant
2:17:36
SPEAKER_02: to the abhorrent behavior, unfortunately witnessed firsthand by her children.
2:17:42
SPEAKER_02: According to the court documents obtained by WWSB,
2:17:46
SPEAKER_02: the flight attendant then approached the couple's seating area
2:17:49
SPEAKER_02: and allegedly observed Riley making up and down movements with her head
2:17:54
SPEAKER_02: while she was face-to-face.
2:18:00
SPEAKER_00: Mommy, why is she acting like a chicken?
2:18:02
SPEAKER_00: She
2:18:04
SPEAKER_02: was making up and down movements with her head while she was face down in Arnold's lap.
2:18:11
SPEAKER_02: The whole chicken head...
2:18:15
SPEAKER_02: This shocking behavior in such a public and confined space is not only a violation
2:18:21
SPEAKER_02: of social norms, but also a criminal offense.
2:18:24
SPEAKER_02: The couple was reportedly charged with two felony counts of lewd
2:18:28
SPEAKER_02: and lascivious exhibition,
2:18:30
SPEAKER_02: specifically in the presence of minors,
2:18:32
SPEAKER_02: a serious charge that reflects the gravity of the couple's actions.
2:18:37
SPEAKER_02: Upon landing in Sarasota Airport, police promptly arrested Riley and Arnold.
2:18:42
SPEAKER_02: The swift response by law enforcement and JetBlue's security team underscores
2:18:47
SPEAKER_02: the seriousness in which such incidences are treated.
2:18:51
SPEAKER_02: According to People,
2:18:52
SPEAKER_02: both individuals were released on their own recognizance two days later
2:18:56
SPEAKER_02: but are scheduled to appear in court for arraignment.
2:19:00
SPEAKER_02: It remains unclear whether they have retained legal representation.
2:19:05
SPEAKER_02: How old were the kids?
2:19:07
SPEAKER_02: It didn't say it said a mother and her kids.
2:19:10
SPEAKER_00: Because if the kids are even like 11 or 12 or whatever,
2:19:14
SPEAKER_00: if I was the person being charged with this,
2:19:16
SPEAKER_00: the first thing I'd do is subpoena the kids' phones.
2:19:20
SPEAKER_00: And if they found any kind of porn on it,
2:19:22
SPEAKER_00: be like, this is what these kids are already looking at.
2:19:25
SPEAKER_00: I didn't do anything wrong.
2:19:27
SPEAKER_00: And you know, if it's a 12 or 13-year-old, they are on Pornhub.
2:19:32
SPEAKER_00: They're definitely on the porn.
2:19:35
SPEAKER_02: A JetBlue spokesperson in a statement shared with people described
2:19:39
SPEAKER_02: the Connecticut couple's conduct was as unacceptable and said
2:19:44
SPEAKER_02: the airline would not tolerate such behavior.
2:19:47
SPEAKER_02: The airline confirmed that the couple was permanently banned from flying on JetBlue,
2:19:51
SPEAKER_02: a rare but necessary measure to protect passengers.
2:19:54
SPEAKER_00: Wow, what a punishment that is.
2:19:57
SPEAKER_00: No JetBlue for you.
2:19:58
SPEAKER_00: No JetBlue for you, pal.
2:20:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:20:03
SPEAKER_00: Was his name Jed York?
2:20:07
SPEAKER_02: Why don't you see what his worth is, that Jed York, see whatever his worth is.
2:20:14
SPEAKER_02: The incident rises important questions about public behavior and safety
2:20:19
SPEAKER_02: in enclosed spaces like airplanes where passengers are in close quarters
2:20:23
SPEAKER_02: and have been limited options to escape uncomfortable or dangerous situations.
2:20:28
SPEAKER_02: What makes the incident particularly disturbing is in the presence of children
2:20:33
SPEAKER_02: who are uniquely vulnerable to the damaging impact of such behavior.
2:20:38
SPEAKER_00: His net worth,
2:20:39
SPEAKER_00: by the way,
2:20:40
SPEAKER_00: his personal net worth is about $500 million,
2:20:45
SPEAKER_00: but his business empire is worth $8.5 billion.
2:20:50
SPEAKER_02: $8.5 billion with a B.
2:20:53
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and he's trolling trailer parks for fucking toothless snatch.
2:20:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:20:59
SPEAKER_00: Jeez, oh man.
2:21:00
SPEAKER_02: In Mahoning Valley of all places.
2:21:03
SPEAKER_00: In the middle of a cow field or whatever.
2:21:06
SPEAKER_00: And didn't East Palestine have like some train derailment?
2:21:09
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they had a train derailment with a chemical spill.
2:21:14
SPEAKER_00: So he's probably fucking some prostitute with three heads and six legs.
2:21:20
SPEAKER_02: Well, maybe that was the attractiveness of it all.
2:21:22
SPEAKER_02: It could be.
2:21:24
SPEAKER_02: He wanted to fuck a mutant.
2:21:26
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:21:27
SPEAKER_00: I've been watching,
2:21:28
SPEAKER_00: this has nothing to do with nothing,
2:21:29
SPEAKER_00: but I've been watching,
2:21:31
SPEAKER_00: I think it's season four of American Horror Story,
2:21:35
SPEAKER_00: and it's called American Horror Story, I think Freaks or something like that.
2:21:38
SPEAKER_00: It's about a wacky, awful circus.
2:21:44
SPEAKER_00: It has all these circus freaks all over the place.
2:21:47
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:21:47
SPEAKER_00: And one of the main circus freaks is a chick with two heads,
2:21:52
SPEAKER_00: and one wants to fuck and the other wants to kill, and it's...
2:21:56
SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, yeah, maybe that's what Jed York is looking for.
2:21:59
SPEAKER_00: Something like that.
2:22:00
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:22:00
SPEAKER_00: Some weird, wacky shit.
2:22:02
SPEAKER_02: Need something to spice it up.
2:22:04
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine fucking a girl with two heads?
2:22:07
SPEAKER_02: No.
2:22:09
SPEAKER_00: How drunk would you have to be?
2:22:14
SPEAKER_02: Well, you remember those sisters that they were joined at the head?
2:22:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:22:20
SPEAKER_00: I can't fathom.
2:22:22
SPEAKER_00: I can't even fathom if they weren't joined at the head.
2:22:25
SPEAKER_00: Now, this is one.
2:22:27
SPEAKER_00: Here's the question.
2:22:29
SPEAKER_00: Sidney Sweeney body.
2:22:31
SPEAKER_00: Two heads.
2:22:34
SPEAKER_02: It's too freakish.
2:22:35
SPEAKER_00: Is it too?
2:22:37
SPEAKER_00: I think I agree, but it would be a long thought.
2:22:43
SPEAKER_00: It would be a very long, especially if she was showing me it a little bit.
2:22:47
SPEAKER_00: She was like Sidney Sweeney was up on that cake or whatever and just showing me
2:22:52
SPEAKER_00: a little bit of fucking...
2:22:54
SPEAKER_00: Arby's Double Mead or whatever, I'd be like, hmm.
2:22:59
SPEAKER_00: I'll just get some fucking sofa cushions to put over those heads.
2:23:04
SPEAKER_00: Go for it.
2:23:11
SPEAKER_00: So you're in my wheelhouse now, man.
2:23:14
SPEAKER_00: This freaky shit is definitely all me.
2:23:20
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
2:23:21
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
2:23:23
SPEAKER_02: So anyway,
2:23:23
SPEAKER_02: if you're a multi-billionaire,
2:23:26
SPEAKER_02: don't be trolling for trailer park pussy because it might land you in jail.
2:23:36
SPEAKER_00: This is going to sound very horrible.
2:23:38
SPEAKER_00: This is really going to sound very horrible.
2:23:41
SPEAKER_00: But don't you wish this was one of those Chris Hansen stings and he was after like
2:23:44
SPEAKER_00: a 14-year-old?
2:23:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:23:47
SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that have been great if it was the owner of the 49ers that Chris Hansen did come in?
2:23:53
SPEAKER_00: Have a seat.
2:23:54
SPEAKER_00: Have a seat.
2:23:55
SPEAKER_00: What brings you here tonight?
2:23:58
SPEAKER_00: Oh, you're just coming to speak to her.
2:23:59
SPEAKER_00: You're just coming to have a talk, huh?
2:24:01
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:24:01
SPEAKER_00: Really?
2:24:04
SPEAKER_00: Jed, I know you own the 49ers, but is this really your first time here?
2:24:08
SPEAKER_00: Is this your first time doing this?
2:24:11
SPEAKER_00: God, I wish that would have happened.
2:24:12
SPEAKER_00: That would have been the best.
2:24:16
SPEAKER_00: How big would Chris Hansen show have blown up if he was the one
2:24:20
SPEAKER_00: that nabbed Don't you think that would have taken him off the internet
2:24:26
SPEAKER_00: and put him back on CBS or NBC or somewhere, don't you think?
2:24:31
SPEAKER_02: You would think.
2:24:33
SPEAKER_02: Are people still watching network television, though?
2:24:37
SPEAKER_00: Well, they watch the streaming derivative of it.
2:24:41
SPEAKER_00: They're not watching NBC, per se,
2:24:43
SPEAKER_00: but they're watching Peacock or they're watching Paramount instead of CBS regular.
2:24:50
SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's still a lot of shows that are still out there.
2:24:52
SPEAKER_00: You know,
2:24:53
SPEAKER_00: there's the Chicago PD and Fire and all that shit and Law and Order and,
2:24:59
SPEAKER_00: you know, every fucking spinoff that you can imagine of the Big Bang Theory.
2:25:03
SPEAKER_00: Now they're on, I think, the fourth spinoff with that Stewart saves the world or whatever.
2:25:09
SPEAKER_00: And that's fucking wretched bad.
2:25:12
SPEAKER_00: That's a terrible show, but.
2:25:15
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, I mean, there is still, again, dude, I know we always talk about this with radio.
2:25:21
SPEAKER_00: It's the same with TV.
2:25:23
SPEAKER_00: You got old people that are just too dumb or too lame to adapt.
2:25:28
SPEAKER_00: They buy a Roku and the first thing they do is buy fucking YouTube TV because it's
2:25:32
SPEAKER_00: the closest thing to cable TV.
2:25:34
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:25:35
SPEAKER_00: Or they just buy like whatever Comcast is selling as their streaming product
2:25:42
SPEAKER_00: and they watch it like regular TV.
2:25:44
SPEAKER_00: That's why Pluto and all that shit is so popular, because it looks like regular TV.
2:25:49
SPEAKER_00: You turn it on,
2:25:49
SPEAKER_00: it brings up a TV guide, and you can go, ooh, ooh, oh, Live PD, let me click that.
2:25:55
SPEAKER_00: And they're watching TV just like the old days.
2:25:57
SPEAKER_00: Sure.
2:26:00
SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
2:26:01
SPEAKER_00: It's crazy.
2:26:04
SPEAKER_02: Well, that's all I have for the sex stuff for this segment.
2:26:08
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, that's good.
2:26:09
SPEAKER_00: Believe it or not, that was an hour.
2:26:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no,
2:26:11
SPEAKER_02: it's flown by and by the time I play 20 minutes of tunes,
2:26:14
SPEAKER_02: we'll be into the final hour and wrap that shit up.
2:26:19
SPEAKER_00: We'll talk some Twisted Skidster and we'll talk some, I got a bunch of new David Lee Roth stuff.
2:26:27
SPEAKER_00: So we'll have some David Lee Roth, maybe some Nikki Sixx, all kinds of good stuff still.
2:26:35
SPEAKER_00: We haven't really talked a lot of music tonight at all.
2:26:37
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:26:38
SPEAKER_00: Other than Jamie.
2:26:39
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:26:40
SPEAKER_00: So, all right.
2:26:41
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we talked to an actual rock star.
2:26:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:26:47
SPEAKER_00: So we don't need to talk about any more music.
2:26:49
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:26:49
SPEAKER_02: Because you heard it from the horse's mouth, an actual rock star's mouth.
2:26:54
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
2:26:55
SPEAKER_00: And Jim, you got to hear about a guy that works with Thayer.
2:26:57
SPEAKER_00: That had to make you really happy.
2:27:03
SPEAKER_02: That's pretty funny.
2:27:04
SPEAKER_02: It is.
2:27:06
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:27:07
SPEAKER_02: Well, the birthday wishes continue.
2:27:10
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
2:27:12
SPEAKER_02: Shelly is a very, very popular girl tonight.
2:27:15
SPEAKER_02: I guess so.
2:27:17
SPEAKER_02: Demon was popular a couple of weeks ago when it was her birthday.
2:27:21
SPEAKER_02: Cool.
2:27:22
SPEAKER_02: But now Shelly, she's the one in the seat tonight.
2:27:28
SPEAKER_00: Right.
2:27:30
SPEAKER_02: Let me see here.
2:27:32
SPEAKER_02: I had this lined up here.
2:27:34
SPEAKER_02: Let's see here.
2:27:38
SPEAKER_00: Going back to the girl with the two heads, put a bag over one head.
2:27:44
SPEAKER_02: Bag over one.
2:27:45
SPEAKER_00: It would still look weird.
2:27:51
SPEAKER_00: All right, go ahead.
2:27:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
2:27:52
SPEAKER_00: I'll stop looking at the chat.
2:27:53
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:27:54
SPEAKER_02: Well, John Phillips checks in with us.
2:27:58
SPEAKER_02: To help celebrate Shelly Rock's birthday and to piss off the Dockin' haters,
2:28:04
SPEAKER_02: he'd like to hear Too High to Fly.
2:28:06
SPEAKER_00: Wow, a long one.
2:28:07
SPEAKER_00: Played a live one that's like 15 minutes long.
2:28:09
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead.
2:28:11
SPEAKER_02: Give it to him.
2:28:12
SPEAKER_02: And even Jackal steps in and says, that's actually a good tune.
2:28:16
SPEAKER_02: I like that album.
2:28:18
SPEAKER_00: That's just so you'll play the short version.
2:28:20
SPEAKER_00: I know his game.
2:28:23
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:28:24
SPEAKER_02: Well, for Shelley Rock's birthday, this is from John Phillips.
2:28:27
SPEAKER_02: It is Too High to Fly, exclusively here.
2:28:30
SPEAKER_00: On your classic metal show.
2:28:44
SPEAKER_01: New York's heavy metal titans are back.
2:28:48
SPEAKER_01: After 10 years, Anthrax unleashes their 12th studio album, Curse Em Perficio, September 18th.

2:29:00
SPEAKER_01: Curse Em Perficio, my journey is over.
2:29:04
SPEAKER_01: First single, It's For The Kids, is a buzzsaw riff monster.

SPEAKER_02: So that Anthrax tune always gets me pumped.
2:30:29
SPEAKER_00: Dude, the new record is really good.
2:30:32
SPEAKER_00: I finally got it.
2:30:34
SPEAKER_00: Only to get stood up by Frank Bellow.
2:30:37
SPEAKER_00: As we were saying earlier, they're 75%.
2:30:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:30:41
SPEAKER_00: But the record's pretty damn solid.
2:30:43
SPEAKER_00: If you like the last, I don't think it's as good as the last two.
2:30:47
SPEAKER_00: Like I thought For All Kings and the one before it were both really good.
2:30:54
SPEAKER_00: Worship Music.
2:30:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:30:56
SPEAKER_00: I thought those are like phenomenal.
2:30:59
SPEAKER_00: This one is not phenomenal, but it doesn't suck on any level either.
2:31:04
SPEAKER_00: It's like a solid 8 out of 10.
2:31:06
SPEAKER_00: I think most people like it.
2:31:08
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:31:09
SPEAKER_00: It's a little more old school than I thought they would be, but.
2:31:12
SPEAKER_00: I like it.
2:31:12
SPEAKER_00: It's good.
2:31:13
SPEAKER_00: It's pretty strong.
2:31:15
SPEAKER_00: I think it's out next week, if I'm not mistaken.
2:31:18
SPEAKER_00: So, get it!
2:31:22
SPEAKER_02: New Anthrax after 10 years.
2:31:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:31:25
SPEAKER_00: It's worth getting.
2:31:26
SPEAKER_00: If you've liked the last two with Joey, you will like this record.
2:31:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm very comfortable saying that.
2:31:34
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a guy who sings in a Journey tribute band.
2:31:39
SPEAKER_00: That is true, yeah.
2:31:40
SPEAKER_02: It sounds nothing like Journey.
2:31:42
SPEAKER_00: That's right.
2:31:42
SPEAKER_00: It's a guy we hooked up with, Jack Frost, and they started a band at one point.
2:31:47
SPEAKER_00: That's true.
2:31:48
SPEAKER_02: And they called in here to tell us.
2:31:50
SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
2:31:51
SPEAKER_00: and they were both hammered.
2:31:54
SPEAKER_02: So funny.
2:31:55
SPEAKER_00: We've had a lot of history in this dumb show, haven't we?
2:31:58
SPEAKER_02: It is.
2:31:59
SPEAKER_02: It is.
2:32:01
SPEAKER_02: All right.
2:32:01
SPEAKER_02: Well, since we're talking about music, well, let's get to the elephant in the room.
2:32:07
SPEAKER_02: Twisted Skidster.
2:32:12
SPEAKER_00: Well, it happened.
2:32:15
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what to make of it.
2:32:17
SPEAKER_00: I watched, I don't know, maybe 30 minutes of it today.
2:32:22
SPEAKER_00: I don't care enough to watch the whole thing.
2:32:25
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:32:26
SPEAKER_00: I just don't.
2:32:27
SPEAKER_00: You know, it is what it is.
2:32:31
SPEAKER_00: I mean, I don't feel like it's Twisted Sister at all.
2:32:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, that's the question is, what would make it Twisted Sister?
2:32:43
SPEAKER_00: Not Sebastian.
2:32:44
SPEAKER_02: It's just Sebastian singing with two of the guys from Twisted Sister.
2:32:49
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:32:50
SPEAKER_00: And they do Skid Row covers at the end as well.
2:32:54
SPEAKER_02: So it's just...
2:32:56
SPEAKER_02: It's a bunch of dudes jamming.
2:32:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's a couple of dudes from Twisted Sister with Sebastian Bach singing.
2:33:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:33:05
SPEAKER_00: Is it awful?
2:33:06
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:33:07
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
2:33:08
SPEAKER_00: I think people that like this music will like it.
2:33:10
SPEAKER_00: But it's not Twisted Sister.
2:33:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's not great.
2:33:17
SPEAKER_00: I see people in here saying it sucked, it sucks moose balls, blah, blah, blah.
2:33:20
SPEAKER_00: I see y'all.
2:33:22
SPEAKER_00: I think y'all just want to hate it, and that's why you're hating it.
2:33:25
SPEAKER_00: Because if you like Sebastian,
2:33:28
SPEAKER_00: if you like Twisted Sister, you're going to get pretty much what you expect.
2:33:33
SPEAKER_00: Nothing additional.
2:33:35
SPEAKER_00: There's nothing in this that makes you sit there and go,
2:33:37
SPEAKER_00: whoa, this is what they've been missing.
2:33:40
SPEAKER_00: You know, there's none of that.
2:33:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:33:43
SPEAKER_00: It's just a show, you know, but we'll play some.
2:33:47
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you think different.
2:33:48
SPEAKER_00: You haven't seen it?
2:33:49
SPEAKER_02: No, I have not.
2:33:50
SPEAKER_00: All right, well, let's get to it.
2:33:53
SPEAKER_00: Here we are.
2:33:53
SPEAKER_00: This is the full set.
2:33:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to pop around.
2:33:56
SPEAKER_00: I don't even have timestamps or anything.
2:33:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to play some and then we'll skip around, so.
2:34:02
SPEAKER_00: Let's get to this.
2:34:03
SPEAKER_00: All right, so here they come onto the stage.
2:34:07
SPEAKER_01: All right, New Jersey!
2:34:12
SPEAKER_01: Would you please welcome the legendary Bent New Weight, it's Twisted
2:34:19
SPEAKER_00: Sister!
2:34:21
SPEAKER_00: No, it's not.
2:34:22
SPEAKER_02: No, it's Sebastian Bach singing Twisted Sister song.
2:34:26
SPEAKER_00: That guy right there is not a member of Twisted Sister.
2:34:30
SPEAKER_00: At least in my head, maybe he is now.
2:34:32
SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
2:34:32
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that could be too.
2:34:34
SPEAKER_00: These might be his audition shows.
2:34:37
SPEAKER_00: Wouldn't that be awful if they try and record a record without D?
2:34:43
SPEAKER_00: I don't think anybody would care with D, but without D, no one's going to give a fuck.
2:34:49
SPEAKER_00: But Skid Row won't take him.
2:34:51
SPEAKER_00: Maybe Twisted Sister will take him.
2:34:54
SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
2:34:55
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
2:35:01
SPEAKER_01: Welcome to our show.
2:35:10
If you've got that problem, yeah.
2:35:14
Well, I think that's used to now.
2:36:30
SPEAKER_00: This feels no different than Sebastian covering it in his own show.
2:36:34
SPEAKER_02: That's exactly what I was thinking.
2:36:37
SPEAKER_00: First, I could barely pick out the original Twisted Sister guys either.
2:36:42
SPEAKER_00: What is the difference between this and the quote-unquote Bent Brother shows?
2:36:49
SPEAKER_00: Because wasn't Bent Brother,
2:36:50
SPEAKER_00: which they did play a show,
2:36:53
SPEAKER_00: isn't that just supposed to be Twisted Sister without the makeup?
2:36:57
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:36:57
SPEAKER_00: Well, this is Twisted Sister without the makeup.
2:37:02
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:37:04
SPEAKER_02: I just don't know what to make of it, aside from the banner.
2:37:08
SPEAKER_02: I mean...
2:37:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm with you.
2:37:11
SPEAKER_00: And Sebastian doesn't sound like D, he sounds like himself, which is fine.
2:37:16
SPEAKER_00: The only thing that I will give Sebastian here, and I'm not trying to even rag on him, really.
2:37:22
SPEAKER_00: I mean, whatever, Ben.
2:37:24
SPEAKER_00: He got offered the gig.
2:37:25
SPEAKER_00: He's one of these, he's like Randy.
2:37:26
SPEAKER_00: He's one of these guys that's over, over excited about every goddamn thing.
2:37:31
SPEAKER_00: So for him, this is like being in the Beatles, I'm sure.
2:37:35
SPEAKER_00: You know, for Sebastian, don't you think?
2:37:38
SPEAKER_00: I guess.
2:37:39
SPEAKER_00: And he's like Dee.
2:37:40
SPEAKER_00: He's one of these guys that's overly excited on stage to the point of almost being ridiculous.
2:37:47
SPEAKER_00: For me, he's ridiculous.
2:37:49
SPEAKER_00: Dee's not quite as ridiculous.
2:37:52
SPEAKER_00: Even with all the makeup and all the stupidness.
2:37:56
SPEAKER_00: Sebastian with all the hair flipping and stuff.
2:37:57
SPEAKER_00: It's like, dude, you're fucking 60.
2:37:59
SPEAKER_00: You look like a tard.
2:38:00
SPEAKER_00: Stop it.
2:38:03
SPEAKER_00: But he sounds okay.
2:38:04
SPEAKER_00: No, he sounds.
2:38:05
SPEAKER_00: He sounds like Sebastian Bach.
2:38:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:38:08
SPEAKER_00: And I'll just skip ahead.
2:38:10
SPEAKER_00: I'll just jump into the middle anywhere.
2:38:13
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
2:38:14
SPEAKER_00: Here's some more.
2:38:24
SPEAKER_02: Who's this guy?
2:38:25
SPEAKER_02: I think that's little Steven's son.
2:38:30
SPEAKER_02: Tiny Steven.
2:38:34
SPEAKER_00: Who is he?
2:38:34
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
2:38:37
SPEAKER_00: Is he an original?
2:38:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
2:38:39
SPEAKER_00: That's kind of what I have a problem with.
2:38:42
SPEAKER_02: He's not an original.
2:38:43
SPEAKER_02: I mean, there's only two guys up there on stage.
2:38:46
SPEAKER_02: Who are the original guys?
2:38:47
SPEAKER_00: It's the guitar guy, French, J.J. French.
2:38:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, J.J. French and the other guitar guy.
2:38:55
SPEAKER_00: Is that Mendoza or is he long gone?
2:38:57
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know.
2:38:58
SPEAKER_00: I don't know shit about Twisted Sister, really.
2:39:01
SPEAKER_00: I like him, but I can't name.
2:39:03
SPEAKER_00: I can name two guys, J.J. French and Dee Snider.
2:39:08
SPEAKER_00: And E.J.
2:39:08
SPEAKER_00: Pirro, but I think he's dead, right?
2:39:10
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's dead.
2:39:11
SPEAKER_02: He was the drummer.
2:39:13
SPEAKER_00: Then I guess he's not here.
2:39:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know who this guy is.
2:39:17
SPEAKER_00: I think you said little Steven's son.
2:39:22

2:39:57
Oh!
2:40:36
SPEAKER_00: Aside from the price of the ticket, this is a tribute band.
2:40:40
SPEAKER_00: It is.
2:40:43
SPEAKER_00: You can't replace Dee Snide.
2:40:45
SPEAKER_00: This is like replacing Eddie Van Halen in Van Halen.
2:40:49
SPEAKER_00: You can't do it.
2:40:51
SPEAKER_00: You cannot do it.
2:40:53
SPEAKER_00: Nobody's ever going to accept this.
2:40:54
SPEAKER_00: I mean, this is in New Jersey, which they're all from, right?
2:41:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're from the New York, New Jersey area.
2:41:03
SPEAKER_00: So it's a hometown crowd.
2:41:06
SPEAKER_02: For the most part, yeah.
2:41:06
SPEAKER_00: You take this to the Midwest, it ain't selling 500 tickets.
2:41:10
SPEAKER_00: Do you think it would?
2:41:11
SPEAKER_02: No.
2:41:12
SPEAKER_00: Or the West Coast?
2:41:14
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:41:15
SPEAKER_00: No way.
2:41:16
SPEAKER_00: You see this in LA?
2:41:18
Mm-mm.
2:41:18
SPEAKER_00: The half-sold whiskey.
2:41:21
SPEAKER_00: You think it would sell more than half at the whiskey?
2:41:24
SPEAKER_02: Well, the whiskey isn't even all that big.
2:41:26
SPEAKER_02: I think the whiskey holds like 500 people at the most.
2:41:29
SPEAKER_00: You think it sells out at the whiskey?
2:41:31
SPEAKER_00: Nah.
2:41:33
SPEAKER_00: You think it sells almost?
2:41:35
SPEAKER_00: 400?
2:41:37
SPEAKER_00: Eh, maybe.
2:41:38
SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
2:41:39
SPEAKER_00: Depends on the night.
2:41:40
SPEAKER_00: If it's a Saturday, yes.
2:41:41
SPEAKER_00: If it's a Tuesday, no.
2:41:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm just like, who's excited enough to drop whatever these tickets cost?
2:41:50
SPEAKER_00: And I have no idea what these tickets cost, but,
2:41:54
SPEAKER_00: you know,
2:41:54
SPEAKER_00: let's say it's $75,
2:41:57
SPEAKER_00: which is probably cheap, but, you know, if this is $75, who's excited to go see it?
2:42:04
SPEAKER_00: Would you go see it?
2:42:05
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:42:06
SPEAKER_00: No.
2:42:08
SPEAKER_00: If it was playing three minutes from your house for $75.
2:42:11
SPEAKER_02: I don't think so.
2:42:15
SPEAKER_02: If it was $50.
2:42:17
SPEAKER_02: I don't want to go hear Sebastian singing Twisted Sister songs.
2:42:22
SPEAKER_02: I mean, I just have zero interest in that.
2:42:28
SPEAKER_00: All right, let's skip ahead.
2:42:29
SPEAKER_00: I'll just jump to the 30-minute mark.
2:42:31
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
2:43:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to give him a little bit of credit here.
2:43:11
SPEAKER_00: Not much, but a little.
2:43:13
SPEAKER_00: And this is all on Sebastian, who I love to tear down because he's such a fucking goob.
2:43:19
SPEAKER_00: But I'll give him this.
2:43:22
SPEAKER_00: I appreciate the fact that he's just doing what he does instead of trying
2:43:27
SPEAKER_00: to mimic D. If he was trying to do an impression of D, this would be so much worse.
2:43:36
SPEAKER_02: Don't you think?
2:43:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:43:38
SPEAKER_02: Cause you're,
2:43:38
SPEAKER_02: you're not,
2:43:39
SPEAKER_02: you're not,
2:43:39
SPEAKER_02: the thing is, is that, you know, obviously everybody knows who Sebastian Bach is.
2:43:45
SPEAKER_02: You know, so you, he can't be anything, but
2:43:52
SPEAKER_00: yeah, but he could have tried.
2:43:55
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:43:55
SPEAKER_02: But that would, I would agree with you.
2:43:57
SPEAKER_02: That'd be ridiculous.
2:43:58
SPEAKER_00: It would just sound awful.
2:44:00
SPEAKER_00: I'll give him this, that it's fine.
2:44:03
SPEAKER_00: You know, I've been jokingly calling this twisted, um, skidster.
2:44:07
SPEAKER_00: You know, just because that sort of fits.
2:44:09
SPEAKER_00: But that's what this really is.
2:44:11
SPEAKER_00: It's Skid Row doing Twisted Sister, basically.
2:44:16
SPEAKER_00: It's nothing different than that.
2:44:18
SPEAKER_00: And next thing you know,
2:44:21
SPEAKER_00: Eric Gronwald will be on the stage with him for three shows and then he'll quit.
2:44:25
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:44:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to skip ahead 45 minutes.
2:44:30
SPEAKER_00: Here's halfway through the set.
2:46:06
SPEAKER_00: Same thought.
2:46:09
SPEAKER_00: Just nothing.
2:46:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:46:12
SPEAKER_02: It's just Sebastian singing Twisted Sister song.
2:46:16
SPEAKER_00: Twisted Sister.
2:46:19
SPEAKER_00: Jump ahead.
2:46:20
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
2:47:15
SPEAKER_00: Did they just only have shirts that were one size too small for him or what?
2:47:19
SPEAKER_00: You're going to tell me all these months of rehearsal they couldn't get him
2:47:25
SPEAKER_00: a proper fitting shirt?
2:47:28
SPEAKER_00: Come on, dude.
2:47:30
SPEAKER_00: Do better.
2:47:31
SPEAKER_00: Why are you wearing a Twisted Sister shirt?
2:47:34
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that like the worst thing?
2:47:37
SPEAKER_00: Isn't that like the worst thing bands can do?
2:47:39
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, wearing your own shirt.
2:47:40
SPEAKER_02: Wear their own shit.
2:47:43
SPEAKER_00: You know.
2:47:46
SPEAKER_02: The other guys aren't wearing Twisted Sister shirts.
2:47:48
SPEAKER_00: No, none of them.
2:47:50
SPEAKER_00: They all look like a band, and he looks like the guy that's staggered up here, the fan.
2:47:55
SPEAKER_00: He literally looks like a fan.
2:47:57
SPEAKER_00: Sounds really, really good.
2:47:59
SPEAKER_00: I think he sounds really good for him.
2:48:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, he does sound good.
2:48:05
SPEAKER_00: I don't know about the vest with the t-shirt, though.
2:48:09
SPEAKER_02: Got to cover up his belly.
2:48:11
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but he's not.
2:48:12
SPEAKER_00: Look at that.
2:48:18
SPEAKER_00: Move forward.
2:49:08
Brother.
2:49:10
SPEAKER_03: I remember you, New Jersey.
2:49:12
SPEAKER_01: I love you fucking people, man.
2:49:14
SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
2:49:18
SPEAKER_00: That's great.
2:49:19
SPEAKER_00: We got to ask, I think Florentine was at this show.
2:49:22
SPEAKER_00: We got to ask him how it went.
2:49:25
SPEAKER_00: If you can remember, because you know I won't remember, but if you remember that.
2:49:29
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:49:30
SPEAKER_00: Ask him.
2:49:30
SPEAKER_00: Let's jump ahead here.
2:49:32
SPEAKER_00: We're almost done.
2:49:33
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
2:49:49
SPEAKER_01: Supplies the future's need.
2:50:28
SPEAKER_00: How is this not insulting to the Twisted Sister people?
2:50:31
SPEAKER_00: He's doing his own music at the end.
2:50:33
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:50:34
SPEAKER_02: Why?
2:50:35
SPEAKER_02: You mean there isn't enough Twisted Sister songs to fill out a 90-minute show?
2:50:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm even okay with them doing that to acknowledge that he's there or whatever.
2:50:44
SPEAKER_00: But you do that in the middle.
2:50:46
SPEAKER_00: Or you just do one at the end, maybe.
2:50:48
SPEAKER_00: See, I wouldn't even do that.
2:50:50
SPEAKER_00: It's a Twisted Sister show.
2:50:52
SPEAKER_00: I understand.
2:50:53
SPEAKER_00: I would mix it in the middle somewhere.
2:50:56
SPEAKER_00: If you're going to do I Remember You, you do it back to back with the price or something.
2:51:00
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but I wouldn't do it at all if it's a Twisted Sister show.
2:51:05
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't either, but somehow I think Sebastian, that's probably his terms.
2:51:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but he...
2:51:12
SPEAKER_00: The thing I don't get is why is he doing it at the... Why are they doing it at the end?
2:51:17
SPEAKER_02: They're doing almost a whole Skid Row set.
2:51:20
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, they only do two, but it's long and...
2:51:24
SPEAKER_00: Sing song and sing along and Jesus.
2:51:28
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know what they're doing here.
2:51:32
SPEAKER_00: It's a weird thing.
2:51:33
SPEAKER_00: It's bizarre.
2:51:34
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
2:51:35
SPEAKER_00: Last one.
2:52:57
SPEAKER_00: If I didn't know better,
2:52:58
SPEAKER_00: my attitude would be, who are these roadies playing with Sebastian Bach?
2:53:03
SPEAKER_00: Nothing screams Twisted Sister other than the backdrop.
2:53:07
SPEAKER_02: Right.
2:53:08
SPEAKER_00: Nothing.
2:53:12
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, that's a fair taste.
2:53:16
SPEAKER_00: Does it last past these five shows or whatever it is?
2:53:19
SPEAKER_02: No.
2:53:20
SPEAKER_02: And you got to wonder if, again, they're obligated to play them.
2:53:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and that could very well.
2:53:27
SPEAKER_00: There's got to be a reason they're doing this.
2:53:31
SPEAKER_00: It can't be because they've got to continue on the band.
2:53:35
SPEAKER_00: T.J. French is in his 70s, isn't he?
2:53:38
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they've been around since the 70s.
2:53:41
SPEAKER_00: That's what I mean.
2:53:42
SPEAKER_00: So 50 years, so he's at least 70, 75 years old.
2:53:47
SPEAKER_00: Whoever this other guy is over here, he's got to be the same age.
2:53:53
SPEAKER_00: Then you've got Little Stevens kid, and I don't know this drummer.
2:53:59
SPEAKER_00: Sebastian's in what, his mid-60s?
2:54:00
SPEAKER_00: I'll give it to Sebastian, though.
2:54:02
SPEAKER_00: He does sound good.
2:54:03
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think Sebastian's 59.
2:54:05
SPEAKER_02: Is he?
2:54:06
SPEAKER_00: Is that it?
2:54:07
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think he's 59.
2:54:10
SPEAKER_00: I'll also give him,
2:54:11
SPEAKER_00: he looks like he's in better shape than he's been in the last year or two as well.
2:54:16
SPEAKER_02: He's definitely dropped a couple of pounds.
2:54:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he looks a lot better, and he sounds okay.
2:54:21
SPEAKER_00: You know, he's still...
2:54:22
SPEAKER_00: He can't hit those high notes anymore, but those fucking notes were inhuman in the first place.
2:54:27
SPEAKER_00: So expecting him to be doing those 40 years down the road is probably crazy talk, right?
2:54:35
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, there it is.
2:54:37
SPEAKER_00: Twisted sister.
2:54:40
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's actually 58.
2:54:42
SPEAKER_00: He's my age?
2:54:43
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 58.
2:54:44
SPEAKER_00: Damn, no kidding.
2:54:45
SPEAKER_02: He was born April 3rd of 1968.
2:54:48
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
2:54:49
SPEAKER_00: So he's a few months older than me.
2:54:52
SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
2:54:53
SPEAKER_00: All right, well, there it is.
2:54:56
SPEAKER_00: Twisted Skidster.
2:54:58
SPEAKER_00: Congrats on that.
2:55:03
SPEAKER_00: So you're not going when it comes to the Gary Casino or whatever?
2:55:09
SPEAKER_02: 72 bucks.
2:55:11
SPEAKER_00: That's a steal.
2:55:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:55:14
SPEAKER_02: They are playing here October 18th.
2:55:17
SPEAKER_00: At the Arcata?
2:55:17
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:55:18
SPEAKER_02: No, at the casino.
2:55:20
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I was kidding.
2:55:23
SPEAKER_02: No, they're at the Hard Rock Casino in Gary.
2:55:26
SPEAKER_02: Come on, you're going.
2:55:28
SPEAKER_02: $72.
2:55:29
SPEAKER_00: What if I can get you in for free, would you go?
2:55:32
SPEAKER_00: For free, maybe.
2:55:33
SPEAKER_02: I'll consider it.
2:55:34
SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm asking because I work a lot with his policies.
2:55:38
SPEAKER_00: It's a Sunday, though.
2:55:39
SPEAKER_02: I don't think I'd go.
2:55:41
SPEAKER_00: You tell me and I'll make that happen because I work pretty closely with this publicist.
2:55:45
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm not interested.
2:55:48
SPEAKER_00: It's a Sunday night.
2:55:50
SPEAKER_02: So it went from maybe to now.
2:55:53
SPEAKER_02: Well, if it was like a Friday, I would go.
2:55:56
SPEAKER_02: But it's Sunday night.
2:55:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I get it.
2:56:01
SPEAKER_00: Who wants to be tired from seeing this shit?
2:56:06
SPEAKER_00: The only thing I would just...
2:56:08
SPEAKER_00: Offer to you is that it's probably a 1030 curfew at a casino, right?
2:56:13
SPEAKER_00: Hard to say.
2:56:14
SPEAKER_00: On a Sunday?
2:56:14
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
2:56:15
SPEAKER_02: Almost certainly.
2:56:16
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
2:56:17
SPEAKER_02: Whatever it is, but yeah, Sunday night at Gary at the Hard Rock Casino.
2:56:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:56:26
SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't go, even if it was free.
2:56:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to this.
2:56:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, fuck that.
2:56:32
SPEAKER_00: I don't go see Sebastian that I could go and see for free.
2:56:37
SPEAKER_00: I've been able to see Sebastian for free for the last 20 years.
2:56:40
SPEAKER_00: I haven't gone once.
2:56:42
SPEAKER_00: Last time I went, look, it's been so long since I've seen Sebastian Bach perform.
2:56:47
SPEAKER_00: The last time I saw him perform was with you.
2:56:49
SPEAKER_00: I think you still lived here at the time, didn't you?
2:56:53
SPEAKER_00: When we met up with Bam Bam McConnell,
2:56:56
SPEAKER_00: whose bones have disintegrated and everything at this point.
2:57:00
SPEAKER_02: yeah.
2:57:01
SPEAKER_02: The last time I saw Sebastian was he was at the Farm Rock, and that was back in 2015.
2:57:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, 2015.
2:57:13
SPEAKER_00: But that was with like Dokken or something, right?
2:57:16
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I didn't go specifically for that.
2:57:18
SPEAKER_00: When was the last time you went to see him perform?
2:57:22
SPEAKER_02: Probably when I was with you.
2:57:24
SPEAKER_02: That's got to be 25 years ago, right?
2:57:27
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, if you put it in that context.
2:57:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:57:30
SPEAKER_02: But I saw him at Farm Rock.
2:57:33
SPEAKER_00: When is the last time, if ever, you saw Twisted Sister?
2:57:40
SPEAKER_00: Or Dee?
2:57:41
SPEAKER_00: Or Dee?
2:57:42
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I saw Dee.
2:57:43
SPEAKER_02: He...
2:57:44
SPEAKER_02: Went to see Dee,
2:57:46
SPEAKER_02: not playing with someone else.
2:57:47
SPEAKER_02: Oh, I did not go specifically to see Dee.
2:57:52
SPEAKER_00: Because I saw Twisted.
2:57:54
SPEAKER_02: Because Dokken played with D like four years ago, I think.
2:57:59
SPEAKER_02: Okay.
2:57:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, four years ago.
2:58:01
SPEAKER_02: Down in, where was it?
2:58:04
SPEAKER_02: It was down in Southern Illinois.
2:58:05
SPEAKER_00: All right.
2:58:08
SPEAKER_00: Would you go see this with D at the Gary Casino for $72?
2:58:16
SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
2:58:16
SPEAKER_02: I didn't see him the last time they went around, so I don't think I'd see him this time either.
2:58:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of with you on that.
2:58:22
SPEAKER_00: I think I'm done with Twisted Sister.
2:58:25
SPEAKER_00: In any form.
2:58:26
SPEAKER_00: And I'm certainly not overly overwhelmed with Twisted Skidster, so.
2:58:33
SPEAKER_00: So yeah, nah.
2:58:36
SPEAKER_00: Well, good luck to them.
2:58:38
SPEAKER_00: I hope they do well.
2:58:41
SPEAKER_00: Alright, let's move on to David Lee Roth.
2:58:45
SPEAKER_00: I can't get enough of David Lee Roth.
2:58:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's just so bizarre.
2:58:51
SPEAKER_00: He's a total goof, and I love him for it.
2:58:54
SPEAKER_00: I I hate to be that blunt, but I love him for it.
2:58:59
SPEAKER_00: And he's back.
2:59:02
SPEAKER_00: I honestly thought when he canceled those dates, that was going to be it for him.
2:59:07
SPEAKER_02: I thought all he had was Sturgis.
2:59:10
SPEAKER_00: And he did play that, I believe.
2:59:12
SPEAKER_00: I believe they played it.
2:59:14
SPEAKER_00: But then I thought that was going to be it.
2:59:17
SPEAKER_00: Well, no.
2:59:19
SPEAKER_00: Now he's taken to the Internet.
2:59:23
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not going to lie.
2:59:24
SPEAKER_00: What I'm about to play you is what I think David Lee Ross should be doing.
2:59:29
SPEAKER_00: I honestly, this is not good.
2:59:31
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to, I'll admit it right up front.
2:59:34
SPEAKER_00: This man should never, ever, never, never, ever be allowed to play a guitar.
2:59:42
SPEAKER_00: He is awful at guitar.
2:59:45
SPEAKER_00: I do mean terrible.
2:59:46
SPEAKER_02: Well, we saw him plinking around trying to play ice cream, man.
2:59:51
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:59:51
SPEAKER_00: Well, this is even worse.
2:59:53

3:00:54
SPEAKER_00: One more time, bit.ly slash CMS, Spotify.
3:01:00
SPEAKER_00: He's trying to play jump acoustically.
3:01:05
SPEAKER_00: Now, I'm going to tell you, I'll say it again.
3:01:08
SPEAKER_00: I think this is what DLR should do.
3:01:12
SPEAKER_00: I really think this is what he should be doing these days.
3:01:14
SPEAKER_00: Same with Don.
3:01:16
SPEAKER_00: I think this is what Don should be doing.
3:01:18
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we actually had that discussion when I was with him last weekend.
3:01:22
SPEAKER_00: And?
3:01:23
SPEAKER_00: You don't want
3:01:24
SPEAKER_02: to say?
3:01:25
SPEAKER_02: No, he said if he could get John Levin to do the acoustic thing with him,
3:01:29
SPEAKER_02: he would like to do that.
3:01:30
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, that would be perfect.
3:01:33
SPEAKER_00: Because then he could sing in a key that he could sing in, and that would be good.
3:01:35
SPEAKER_00: And it's the same with Roth.
3:01:37
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and he could tell his stories.
3:01:39
SPEAKER_02: Stories.
3:01:40
SPEAKER_02: You know, I said, you know, you need to really...
3:01:43
SPEAKER_02: Consider doing the storytellers
3:01:51
SPEAKER_02: type thing.
3:01:52
SPEAKER_02: And he mentioned when he opened for Queensryche back in 2008, I believe it was.
3:01:58
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I remember that.
3:01:59
SPEAKER_02: And he did that acoustic show with Kelly Keeling, and he said he really enjoyed doing that.
3:02:04
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, other than Kelly being a fucking douche on that tour, if I remember, right?
3:02:09
SPEAKER_00: Everything about it was good.
3:02:11
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
3:02:12
SPEAKER_00: And the reviews were good.
3:02:14
SPEAKER_00: I remember that the reviews were pretty good for that because it's in his wheelhouse.
3:02:18
SPEAKER_00: And it's the same here with Roth.
3:02:20
SPEAKER_00: Roth is such a goof.
3:02:22
SPEAKER_00: Look, you know, I'm not the biggest DLR guy.
3:02:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm really not.
3:02:28
SPEAKER_00: But I would definitely pay the money to see him sing these songs acoustically
3:02:33
SPEAKER_00: and tell stories because he's such a fucking whack job that
3:02:36
SPEAKER_00: the stories would probably be funny if you can figure out what he's saying.
3:02:41
SPEAKER_00: Don't you think?
3:02:42
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, because when he was on Joe Rogan, what was it, a couple years ago?
3:02:47
SPEAKER_02: And he was going off on his tangents on various things.
3:02:51
SPEAKER_02: It's like, what the fuck is this guy even talking about?
3:02:54
SPEAKER_00: But he's funny doing it.
3:02:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, so, all right, let me put this on the screen and we'll play a little of this.
3:03:00
SPEAKER_00: This is DLR doing Jump acoustically
3:03:08
SPEAKER_00: as a guitar player.
3:03:10
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
3:03:12
SPEAKER_00: Oh, maybe not.
3:03:14
SPEAKER_00: Let me hit the sound now.
3:03:16
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
3:03:17
I get up.
3:03:19
Nothing gets me down.
3:03:23
SPEAKER_01: You've got it tough.
3:03:45
SPEAKER_00: If he had a guitar player, I'd go see this.
3:03:48
SPEAKER_02: What the fuck?
3:03:50
SPEAKER_02: I don't even think that guitar is in tune.
3:03:53
SPEAKER_02: I don't know what he's doing here.
3:03:55
SPEAKER_02: He's just sitting there just...
3:03:56
SPEAKER_00: Plinking strings.
3:03:58
SPEAKER_00: Plinking strings.
3:03:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's not playing jump.
3:04:01
SPEAKER_00: He's plinking strings.
3:04:07
SPEAKER_02: That is the weirdest goddamn thing.
3:04:09
SPEAKER_00: I love it, though.
3:04:11
SPEAKER_00: I would pay to see this.
3:04:13
SPEAKER_00: It's so stupid that it's great.
3:04:15
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
3:04:18
SPEAKER_01: Baby, I know Just how you feel You've got to roll With the punches
3:04:42
SPEAKER_01: Get to what's real.
3:04:49
SPEAKER_01: Come on, jump.
3:04:54
SPEAKER_02: Let's jump.
3:04:58
SPEAKER_02: What is with that goofy, big, dumb smile?
3:05:02
SPEAKER_02: Dumb smile.
3:05:05
SPEAKER_00: He's always doing that.
3:05:10
SPEAKER_00: Holy, the guitar playing is just amazing.
3:05:15
SPEAKER_00: It is amazing to, I mean, look, I'm not saying playing guitar is easy.
3:05:20
SPEAKER_00: It's not.
3:05:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm not very good at it.
3:05:22
SPEAKER_02: I don't think he even plays guitar.
3:05:26
SPEAKER_00: Are you going to tell me that this guy stood on stage with arguably
3:05:33
SPEAKER_00: the greatest guitar player of the last 50 fucking years?
3:05:40
SPEAKER_00: And none of it rubbed off?
3:05:43
SPEAKER_00: Not even a little?
3:05:44
SPEAKER_02: I mean, if he was actually playing, you know, it wouldn't sound like he's just sitting there.
3:05:49
SPEAKER_02: Because he did that on that live show that we covered,
3:05:53
SPEAKER_02: you know, weeks ago where he was doing the talk up to Ice Cream Man.
3:05:59
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
3:05:59
SPEAKER_02: And it didn't sound anything like Ice Cream Man.
3:06:02
SPEAKER_02: He was just plinking around.
3:06:05
SPEAKER_00: I know.
3:06:07
SPEAKER_00: He clearly cannot play guitar.
3:06:10
SPEAKER_00: I wonder if he's only playing it because people expect because he was with Van Halen
3:06:15
SPEAKER_00: that he should be able to play guitar.
3:06:19
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's got a guitar.
3:06:21
SPEAKER_00: His guitar player in his band is good.
3:06:24
SPEAKER_00: Hand that guy the acoustic guitar and let him play it.
3:06:28
SPEAKER_00: He would do better than this.
3:06:32
SPEAKER_00: This is...
3:06:33
SPEAKER_02: I'm going to play it again.
3:06:35
SPEAKER_02: Hold on, let me switch back.
3:06:35
SPEAKER_02: It's such a bizarre...
3:06:38
SPEAKER_02: I mean, the...
3:06:41
SPEAKER_02: Him singing the song, you know, acoustics.
3:06:44
SPEAKER_00: It's kind of cool.
3:06:46
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's kind of cool.
3:06:48
SPEAKER_02: But the guitar accompaniment that he's trying to do.
3:06:53
SPEAKER_00: He sounds like I did when I got my first guitar when I was like 12 years old on Christmas.
3:07:00
SPEAKER_00: And I remember opening it.
3:07:01
SPEAKER_00: It was in the little paper box, you know, the triangle box.
3:07:05
SPEAKER_00: And I took it out and I'm like,
3:07:06
SPEAKER_00: ping, ping, ping, ping, until my dad was like, just put that down.
3:07:11
SPEAKER_00: Because I sounded like David Lee Roth here.
3:07:16
SPEAKER_00: Let's play this one more time.
3:07:17
SPEAKER_00: It's only a minute.
3:07:18
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
3:07:25
SPEAKER_00: I get up How does he know where to start?
3:07:30
SPEAKER_00: Nothing gets me down You
3:07:40
SPEAKER_01: Got it tough.
3:07:42
I've seen the toughest around.
3:07:45
SPEAKER_01: Baby, I know.
3:07:46
SPEAKER_01: Just how you feel.
3:08:06
SPEAKER_01: You've got to roll
3:08:10
SPEAKER_01: with the punches, get to what's
3:08:17
real.
3:08:19
SPEAKER_01: Come on, jump.
3:08:21
Let's jump.
3:08:33
SPEAKER_02: I keep hearing a tambourine clinking around there.
3:08:36
SPEAKER_02: How do you think he's doing that?
3:08:38
SPEAKER_00: I'm sure there's somebody sitting next to him, just shaking the tambourine.
3:08:45
SPEAKER_00: Such a fucking goober.
3:08:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, that is just brutal.
3:08:58
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember what this is.
3:09:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to play it anyway.
3:09:02
SPEAKER_00: It says David Lee Roth should...
3:09:05
SPEAKER_00: Oh, a public service announcement Dave released as well recently.
3:09:12
SPEAKER_00: He's all over the social media now.
3:09:15
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
3:09:17
SPEAKER_00: So here's Dave.
3:09:19
SPEAKER_01: Let's play this.
3:09:22
SPEAKER_01: It's Diamond Dave,
3:09:23
SPEAKER_01: and I'm whip-cracking ready to talk to you about a public service announcement.
3:09:27
SPEAKER_01: That's right.
3:09:30
SPEAKER_01: Get ready, because I'm going to service you good.
3:09:32
SPEAKER_01: Cowboy Dave here, last of the Vanishing Riders.
3:09:35
SPEAKER_01: We rode and rode, and I'm ready to keep on riding.
3:09:40
SPEAKER_01: Who's the first cartoon character you wanted to fuck?
3:09:44
SPEAKER_01: For me, it was Wilma Flintstone.
3:09:46
SPEAKER_01: I know, I know she's married.
3:09:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, Fred's a fucking cartoon.
3:09:51
SPEAKER_01: Fuck Fred.
3:09:52
SPEAKER_01: Me and Wilma, we got a thing going on.
3:09:57
SPEAKER_01: And it was Wilma Flintstone.
3:09:59
SPEAKER_01: Who taught me the difference between good and amazing.
3:10:03
SPEAKER_01: Good is when it's your birthday and you go out for your favorite barbecue
3:10:08
SPEAKER_01: with your friends and family.
3:10:10
Woo!
3:10:12
SPEAKER_01: Amazing was when Wilma called me on my last birthday and said,
3:10:15
SPEAKER_01: I'm here with Veronica from Archie Comics and me and Betty Rubble want to fuck you.
3:10:23
SPEAKER_01: I said, girls line up, I want to fuck you too.
3:10:26
SPEAKER_01: I did do a...
3:10:31
SPEAKER_02: Why is he breathing so hard?
3:10:34
SPEAKER_02: Why is he doing any of this?
3:10:35
SPEAKER_02: I mean, it's just really bizarre.
3:10:40
SPEAKER_02: He's whip, crack,
3:10:41
SPEAKER_00: and ready?
3:10:42

SPEAKER_00: There's another minute or so of this.
3:11:03
SPEAKER_01: One time for television, I remember it was right around Gilligan's Island.
3:11:06
SPEAKER_01: There's a Buddhist question in there.
3:11:08
SPEAKER_01: Is it Ginger or is it Marianne?
3:11:09
SPEAKER_01: There's no answer yet.
3:11:11
SPEAKER_01: The question still remains.
3:11:13
SPEAKER_01: I got three hours though.
3:11:15
SPEAKER_01: Let's start the tour.
3:11:16
SPEAKER_01: And I remember Star Trek boldly going where no man's ever gone before.
3:11:23
SPEAKER_01: I was ready.
3:11:23
SPEAKER_01: I was going to lead with my cowboy hat and I've been places
3:11:27
SPEAKER_01: with my hat you wouldn't go with a fucking pistol.
3:11:30
SPEAKER_01: Prepare to board.
3:11:31
SPEAKER_01: Bulkheads can't take him, Captain.
3:11:34
SPEAKER_01: Whatever a fucking bulkhead is.
3:11:36
SPEAKER_01: Woo!
3:11:37
SPEAKER_01: I tell you.
3:11:39
SPEAKER_01: But I'm back.
3:11:40
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm ready with Lieutenant Uhura.
3:11:43
SPEAKER_01: Remember?
3:11:43
SPEAKER_01: She had that thing in her ear.
3:11:45
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what she was listening to.
3:11:46
SPEAKER_01: Maybe the Howard Stern Show.
3:11:48
SPEAKER_01: I hope so.
3:11:50
SPEAKER_01: The door goes, sliding door.
3:11:53
SPEAKER_01: She's there butt naked going, Diamond Dave.
3:11:57
SPEAKER_01: Get your knees dirty, son.
3:11:58
SPEAKER_01: Time to communicate.
3:12:01
SPEAKER_01: But I did get back to comics,
3:12:03
SPEAKER_01: and I want Wonder Woman to come down with her golden lariat,
3:12:08
SPEAKER_01: the one that makes you tell the truth,
3:12:10
SPEAKER_01: and I want her to tie me up like with handcuffs.
3:12:14
SPEAKER_01: Now, I knew Heidi Fleiss,
3:12:16
SPEAKER_01: the Hollywood madam,
3:12:18
SPEAKER_01: and they took her away in handcuffs and charged her over a thousand dollars mail.
3:12:23
SPEAKER_01: Last time I was in Vegas, I requested handcuffs, and the girls charged me a thousand bucks.
3:12:31
SPEAKER_01: There's been a public service announcement.
3:12:33
SPEAKER_01: Check in next week and I'll service your funky ass again.
3:12:39
SPEAKER_02: There's a big dumb grin again.
3:12:43
SPEAKER_00: Why?
3:12:46
SPEAKER_00: That's my only question is why?
3:12:50
SPEAKER_02: Boredom?
3:12:52
SPEAKER_02: You just got nothing better to do.
3:12:55
SPEAKER_00: Look, I'm not going to lie and say that I ever didn't record a couple of things
3:12:59
SPEAKER_00: that were stupid and silly like this.
3:13:01
SPEAKER_00: I have, but I don't put them out there.
3:13:04
SPEAKER_02: Well, he fancies himself a very glib character,
3:13:08
SPEAKER_02: you know, and he's just a, he's the equivalent to a crazy cat lady.
3:13:15
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
3:13:18
SPEAKER_00: That was bizarre.
3:13:22
SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's just, Insane.
3:13:28
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how else to put it other than that's just insane.
3:13:32
SPEAKER_02: He's a bizarre character for sure.
3:13:34
SPEAKER_00: You want one more?
3:13:36
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, sure.
3:13:36
SPEAKER_02: Why not?
3:13:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm obsessed with Roth now.
3:13:38
SPEAKER_00: I love it.
3:13:40
SPEAKER_00: The more stupid shit he does, the more I like it.
3:13:44
SPEAKER_00: Here's another one.
3:13:46
SPEAKER_00: Sound on, sound on.
3:13:48
SPEAKER_02: So what's all of a sudden with the cowboy hats and the Western motif and all?
3:13:53
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
3:13:53
SPEAKER_00: I have no idea.
3:13:54
SPEAKER_00: Is he living in the mountains or something?
3:13:57
SPEAKER_02: He's a Jewish cowboy.
3:13:58
SPEAKER_00: Does he live in Oregon or something?
3:14:01
SPEAKER_00: You buy the Yellowstone or something?
3:14:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
3:14:03
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what's up with any of this, but I'm liking it because it's so stupid.
3:14:10
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
3:14:12
SPEAKER_01: Came back, kind of knew you would.
3:14:14
SPEAKER_01: By the way, don't bother subscribing, we're not advertising.
3:14:17
SPEAKER_01: And don't hit like, I don't really care what you like or you don't like.
3:14:21
SPEAKER_01: Either loved it and you're coming back, or you hated it and you tell an enemy.
3:14:25
SPEAKER_01: Ozzy, the truth, part two.
3:14:29
SPEAKER_01: Cowboy Dave here,
3:14:30
SPEAKER_01: and when you see the big red cup,
3:14:33
SPEAKER_01: you know I'm about to speed you one hell of a campfire story.
3:14:37
SPEAKER_01: Previously...
3:14:39
SPEAKER_01: Ozzy and I were in Nashville.
3:14:40
SPEAKER_01: Van Halen's opening for Black Sabbath.
3:14:45
SPEAKER_01: And Ozzy, you're on a tour bus exactly like the disco submarine.
3:14:50
SPEAKER_01: Go ahead and pan around a little bit here, Geraldine.
3:14:53
SPEAKER_01: Geraldine is our business manager and photographer supremo.
3:14:58
SPEAKER_01: And she's showing you the disco.
3:14:59
SPEAKER_01: Put it back here, Jerry.
3:15:00
SPEAKER_01: We're done with it.
3:15:01
SPEAKER_01: Put it back here.
3:15:02
SPEAKER_01: I'm answering it in the TV set.
3:15:04
SPEAKER_01: But I will be on the TV set.
3:15:07
SPEAKER_01: Ozzy Osbourne, Ozzy Iron Man.
3:15:11
SPEAKER_01: That sounds particularly official.
3:15:13
SPEAKER_01: I've been practicing that since 1907, when it came out.
3:15:18
SPEAKER_01: Ozzy and I are partying.
3:15:20
SPEAKER_01: We're partying like demon buccaneers.
3:15:22
SPEAKER_01: We're partying like Vikings.
3:15:24
SPEAKER_01: I was a ball of muscle in those days, man.
3:15:27
SPEAKER_01: And in those days,
3:15:28
SPEAKER_01: if somebody said,
3:15:30
SPEAKER_01: we got to get up at 6 in the morning because we get on the bus and we have to have
3:15:34
SPEAKER_01: an airplane at 8.30, we just stay up.
3:15:37
SPEAKER_01: Wednesday's the beginning of the weekend for us, just like on the Mickey Mouse Club.
3:15:41
SPEAKER_01: Anything could happen.
3:15:44
SPEAKER_01: Isn't that right, Oz?
3:15:45
SPEAKER_01: Ozzie and I separate,
3:15:48
SPEAKER_01: we leave the Marriott Hotel in Nashville,
3:15:51
SPEAKER_01: and these are the days when you have the key with the plastic and the room number,
3:15:55
SPEAKER_01: and it's an actual key that you put into the keyhole in the doorknob.
3:16:00
SPEAKER_01: A lot of millennials have no idea what I'm talking about, but you stick in it and twist it.
3:16:05
SPEAKER_00: This is like watching your grandfather fucking spin yarns about back in the 40s, isn't it?
3:16:12
SPEAKER_02: It is.
3:16:16
SPEAKER_00: And he's not making much sense again.
3:16:18
SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's sort of, I guess, but.
3:16:20
SPEAKER_00: He's telling a story about Van Halen with Black Sabbath.
3:16:24
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I guess.
3:16:25
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
3:16:27
SPEAKER_01: Magnetic card.
3:16:28
SPEAKER_01: There's no using your phone or whatever.
3:16:31
SPEAKER_01: I check into the new hotel.
3:16:33
SPEAKER_01: It's in Memphis.
3:16:35
SPEAKER_01: And Ozzy disappears.
3:16:37
SPEAKER_01: We show the show, we do the gig, and they burst through the door.
3:16:42
SPEAKER_01: Tony Iommi,
3:16:43
SPEAKER_01: the guitar player for Black Sabbath,
3:16:44
SPEAKER_01: Geyser Butler,
3:16:45
SPEAKER_01: the bass player,
3:16:46
SPEAKER_01: he'll remember this fondly,
3:16:48
SPEAKER_01: and their manager at the time screaming, what did you do to Ozzy?
3:16:53
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I am the devil's son-in-law,
3:16:55
SPEAKER_01: though now my duties are largely ceremonial, and I'm not in charge of Ozzy.
3:17:00
SPEAKER_01: Ozzy has disappeared.
3:17:02
SPEAKER_01: True story.
3:17:04
SPEAKER_01: We have to cancel the show.
3:17:06
SPEAKER_01: They come back again.
3:17:07
SPEAKER_01: We can't find Ozzy.
3:17:09
SPEAKER_01: Can you sing the Sabbath songs?
3:17:11
SPEAKER_01: I love the Sabbath songs, but I can't learn the lyrics in time.
3:17:16
SPEAKER_01: We canceled the show.
3:17:17
SPEAKER_01: Now, the FBI.
3:17:20
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine if you went to see Black Sabbath in 1978 or 1980
3:17:26
SPEAKER_00: and David Lee Roth is out there trying to do Iron Man or...
3:17:30
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's just like watching Sebastian Bach doing Twisted Sister.
3:17:35
SPEAKER_00: I can just see him just doing war pigs and being like, devil generals gathered in their masses.
3:17:47
SPEAKER_02: He'll do that thing, that little.
3:17:50
SPEAKER_00: Like that ID that
3:17:50
SPEAKER_02: you have.
3:17:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, where he's singing running with the devil.
3:17:55
SPEAKER_00: Running with the jungle and whatnot.
3:18:01
SPEAKER_00: You know, I could just see it.
3:18:04
SPEAKER_00: Fairies wear ice cream.
3:18:05
SPEAKER_00: All right, here we go.
3:18:10
SPEAKER_01: Local gendarmerie.
3:18:12
SPEAKER_01: Everybody is back at the hotel because Oz has disappeared.
3:18:16
SPEAKER_01: We think he's been kidnapped.
3:18:19
SPEAKER_01: They're sitting on the floors.
3:18:21
SPEAKER_01: The press is there.
3:18:22
SPEAKER_01: They have the cameras, the television channel, five channels, seven.
3:18:26
SPEAKER_01: Everybody is there.
3:18:28
SPEAKER_01: And all night long, the police are combing the airport.
3:18:33
SPEAKER_01: They're combing Memphis.
3:18:34
SPEAKER_01: They're combing Nashville.
3:18:36
SPEAKER_01: Still no Ozzy Osbourne.
3:18:38
SPEAKER_01: I'm there getting blamed for the entire thing.
3:18:43
SPEAKER_01: All night.
3:18:44
SPEAKER_01: And it's getting sad.
3:18:46
SPEAKER_01: It's getting scary.
3:18:47
SPEAKER_01: It's getting dark.
3:18:48
SPEAKER_01: Because he really fu- The elevator door opens.
3:18:54
SPEAKER_01: And you know that thing when Ozzy comes out going, Sharon!
3:19:01
SPEAKER_01: Sharon!
3:19:03
SPEAKER_01: He walks out like this.
3:19:05
SPEAKER_01: But this was before Sharon.
3:19:06
SPEAKER_01: All credit, Duke.
3:19:08
SPEAKER_01: He's in his fucking pajamas.
3:19:10
SPEAKER_01: And he walks out of the elevator into a lobby full of FBI,
3:19:14
SPEAKER_01: CIA, local police, news media, television cameras.
3:19:19
SPEAKER_01: The only person who wasn't there was Rivera and he's on his way.
3:19:23
SPEAKER_01: And finally everybody stops looking at me.
3:19:28
SPEAKER_01: Where have you been?
3:19:30
SPEAKER_01: Fuck me.
3:19:31
SPEAKER_01: That's not the best one.
3:19:32
SPEAKER_01: Let me go again.
3:19:34
SPEAKER_01: Fuck me.
3:19:35
SPEAKER_01: That was a little better.
3:19:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to cut to the crash.
3:19:39
SPEAKER_01: In Yiddish, there are about 18 different words for, you fucking, one of them is shlemiel.
3:19:50
SPEAKER_01: This shlemiel,
3:19:52
SPEAKER_01: and I say it lovingly,
3:19:53
SPEAKER_01: this fucking shmendrik,
3:19:56
SPEAKER_01: another one,
3:19:59
SPEAKER_01: had got to the second hotel,
3:20:01
SPEAKER_01: and instead of getting his new key,
3:20:05
SPEAKER_00: can you imagine being on this bus for like eight hours?
3:20:10
SPEAKER_02: It's just nonstop nonsense.
3:20:12
SPEAKER_00: You know he never shuts up.
3:20:14
SPEAKER_00: No, of course not.

3:21:00
SPEAKER_00: If he's truly retired, we gotta get Sean McNabb on here to tell us.
3:21:04
SPEAKER_02: You know what?
3:21:05
SPEAKER_02: I would love to have Randy and David Lee Roth in the same room.
3:21:10
SPEAKER_02: Could you imagine that?
3:21:12
SPEAKER_00: My head would explode.
3:21:15
SPEAKER_00: My head could not take the two of them.
3:21:19
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine the ball lapping that Randy would do for this?
3:21:22
SPEAKER_02: Well, not only that, but neither one of them can shut up for a minute.
3:21:26
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it would be great.
3:21:27
SPEAKER_00: They'd both be interrupting and talking over each other.
3:21:31
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that would be good.
3:21:32
SPEAKER_00: That would really be good.
3:21:35
SPEAKER_00: All right.
3:21:35
SPEAKER_00: There's a little more of this story.
3:21:36
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
3:21:37
SPEAKER_01: All right.
3:21:38
SPEAKER_01: With the plastic,
3:21:40
SPEAKER_01: with the number on it,
3:21:41
SPEAKER_01: with the key,
3:21:42
SPEAKER_01: he walked right past the road manager,
3:21:48
SPEAKER_01: like this,
3:21:49
SPEAKER_01: walked into the elevator in a stone stupor, okay, which, yes,
3:21:55
SPEAKER_01: I'll take some ownership of,
3:21:58
SPEAKER_01: and pulls the key from the last hotel out of his pocket and goes to that room.
3:22:04
SPEAKER_01: It's the wrong room.
3:22:06
SPEAKER_01: Lo and behold, blunders never cease around here.
3:22:11
SPEAKER_01: And there's a maid in the room cleaning up.
3:22:13
SPEAKER_01: He throws her out,
3:22:14
SPEAKER_01: get the fuck out of here,
3:22:15
SPEAKER_01: slams the door,
3:22:17
SPEAKER_01: falls face down on the Sealy Posturepedic mattress,
3:22:20
SPEAKER_01: and sleeps for almost the next 18 hours.
3:22:25
SPEAKER_01: At which point,
3:22:26
SPEAKER_01: he wakes up at 6.30 the next morning having missed the show,
3:22:31
SPEAKER_01: sees the dark out the window and goes, It's time to go to work!
3:22:36
SPEAKER_01: Because of the dark.
3:22:38
SPEAKER_01: He's in his pajamas, which, who cares, we're rock stars.
3:22:41
SPEAKER_01: Everybody loves that crazy misdemeanor or shit we do.
3:22:45
SPEAKER_01: He walks in his pajamas to the elevator because nobody went,
3:22:50
SPEAKER_01: Pugs and a half, I'll leave in an hour.
3:22:52
SPEAKER_01: I'm imagining it would be in a British accent.
3:22:55
SPEAKER_01: He watched to the elevator and takes the elevator right downstairs into the lobby into history.
3:23:06
SPEAKER_00: Now, he's an idiot.
3:23:09
SPEAKER_00: But if this was a podcast, you'd subscribe to it.
3:23:12
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, of course.
3:23:13
SPEAKER_00: Without even a thought.
3:23:16
SPEAKER_00: I mean, you can't
3:23:17
SPEAKER_02: go and not watch the lunacy.
3:23:19
SPEAKER_00: You have to.
3:23:20
SPEAKER_00: That's...
3:23:21
SPEAKER_00: It's a car wreck.
3:23:22
SPEAKER_00: It is.
3:23:23
SPEAKER_00: And dude, I'm telling you, I've watched this episode three or four times.
3:23:29
SPEAKER_00: If this was a true podcast,
3:23:31
SPEAKER_00: it would be on my phone just being delivered to me and spoon-fed to me.
3:23:36
SPEAKER_00: And I would pay the five, like we do with the locals.
3:23:40
SPEAKER_00: If he did the same thing for five bucks a month, I'm absolutely paying for it.
3:23:44
SPEAKER_00: If he does one or two of these a week.
3:23:47
SPEAKER_00: Just one or two of them a week.
3:23:49
SPEAKER_00: Because he is a fucking goof.
3:23:52
SPEAKER_00: And I love watching them just be a goof.
3:23:57
SPEAKER_00: So ridiculous.
3:23:59
SPEAKER_00: But there you have it.
3:24:00
SPEAKER_00: That's DLR.
3:24:02
SPEAKER_02: All right.
3:24:03
SPEAKER_00: And that's that, I think, for the show.
3:24:05
SPEAKER_00: I believe that'll be a wrap.
3:24:07
SPEAKER_00: That's it.
3:24:08
SPEAKER_00: We're donezo.
3:24:09
SPEAKER_00: He even gave you a couple of minutes of overtime.
3:24:11
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
3:24:13
SPEAKER_02: All right.
3:24:14
SPEAKER_02: Well, it's good to be back.
