  It's D Program, the podcast where we try to get you into a
• 0:36
  band. That's right, we've done all the
• 0:38
  work for you. All you have to do is press play
• 0:40
  and listen. My name is Justin and you could
• 0:43
  call me band Curious because I am indeed curious about bands.
• 0:48
  And what we like to do here is gather everybody together,
• 0:51
  gather A panelist to talk about an artist.
• 0:54
  And in doing so, we will create a smash our list together and
• 0:58
  create a top ten circuit list for you to get into this artist.
• 1:01
  And Ahwoo boy do we have 1 today.
• 1:05
  We are going to be talking about Warren Zevon today, of a figure
• 1:09
  who is much more beloved than I had realized when this got
• 1:12
  bandied about. Randy.
• 1:14
  Yeah, he is truly a songwriting legend.
• 1:19
  And I think, you know, he kind of had this very interesting
• 1:26
  career where like people knew who he was, people knew his
• 1:29
  songs. And he sort of, it's a sad story
• 1:34
  in so many different ways because he kind of self
• 1:36
  sabotaged himself because he wasn't a great person.
• 1:39
  He was an alcoholic, he was a drug addict.
• 1:42
  He wasn't good to his family. He had verbal and physical
• 1:47
  confrontations with his spouse and his children.
• 1:51
  And the the story, you know, escalates from there because he
• 1:56
  wasn't good with anybody in really the media as well.
• 2:02
  He had a couple of spats and a lot of like Jan Wenner, he's,
• 2:09
  you know, legendary Rolling Stone writer.
• 2:11
  He had like a legendary argument with him over things.
• 2:16
  And a lot of that led to why the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
• 2:23
  ignored him for so many years because he rubbed a lot of
• 2:27
  people the wrong way. But he was dealing with
• 2:30
  addiction during this time. He was kind of a chaotic human
• 2:34
  being, and you can see some of the chaos.
• 2:35
  He really, you know, songwriting was his, his way out, his, you
• 2:41
  know, his way of dealing with things.
• 2:43
  And you can see in some of these songs that he's kind of writing
• 2:49
  about himself and he's you know, I, I don't want to use
• 2:53
  apologetic as the word, but he's self reflective and he's
• 2:59
  understanding that like he does cause all this chaos.
• 3:04
  He does call cause all this damage and, you know, he has a
• 3:09
  tendency of of violent thoughts and however he puts it in such a
• 3:14
  way that's so, you know, relatable and articulate that
• 3:23
  like you feel for him because he really does seem remorseful for
• 3:29
  his past. And, you know, not not just
• 3:32
  that, but he's just a great storyteller as well.
• 3:35
  So I think, you know, he had a lot of a lot of why people don't
• 3:42
  realize how incredible he was because it was really of his own
• 3:47
  doing. And then, you know, it was one
• 3:50
  of these things where I think people see him in more of a
• 3:53
  positive light because of the end of his life and the end of
• 3:58
  his career and how, you know, him and David Letterman were
• 4:02
  very, very close. And I think the thing if you ask
• 4:06
  most people about Warren Zevon, you know, what would you know
• 4:10
  about Warren Zevon, aside from a couple of the popular radio
• 4:13
  songs, is that he was very open about his cancer diagnosis and
• 4:19
  went on Letterman and basically said, and I, I have a, a
• 4:25
  personal story about why this is very meaningful to me.
• 4:29
  But he, you know, Letterman's like, well, what do you do, you
• 4:32
  know, after all this? And this is at a time in early
• 4:34
  2000s where people weren't as open about, you know, talking
• 4:40
  about cancer and talking about disease and talking about the
• 4:42
  end of their life. And, and he, you know, was very
• 4:46
  accepting of it. And he just said, you know, the,
• 4:49
  the famous line, I'm just going to enjoy every sandwich.
• 4:53
  And I don't know if I want to, I'm going to make this about him
• 4:58
  now. And I can make it about me in a
• 5:00
  minute or two. But, you know, it, it kind of
• 5:05
  changed how people saw him and it made him a very sympathetic
• 5:10
  figure. And, you know, the the song that
• 5:13
  he wrote on his last record, Keep Me In Your Heart, is really
• 5:19
  something that's like stood out in his catalog as being like,
• 5:24
  definitively like him and what he should be seen as.
• 5:29
  And it's it's really unfortunate that all of the negativity kind
• 5:35
  of blinds all the great music that he wrote.
• 5:40
  Yeah, but unlike some people out there, I think he did make
• 5:46
  amends with the fact that he ran into all these problems and he,
• 5:52
  you know, had a better relationship with his children
• 5:54
  after he got sober. And yeah, so just one of these
• 6:01
  just great musicians that just deserves this time and this this
• 6:09
  focus on him. So when this gets thrown thrown
• 6:14
  out last year sometime, Brian, I mean, you didn't seem hesitant
• 6:18
  at all. Is this is this something like
• 6:20
  you were ready to pounce on, or is this just the same open
• 6:23
  mindedness that you've had come lately?
• 6:27
  Yeah, it was part that was that's, that's really tough to
• 6:31
  follow. That was a that was a great
• 6:35
  introduction by Randy and that was that's going to, that's
• 6:38
  going to be a tough one to follow.
• 6:42
  Yeah, it was, it was one of those artists that I've been
• 6:45
  meaning to get into for like a long time.
• 6:49
  Like I, I was familiar with a couple tracks.
• 6:52
  I was familiar kind of with like the last album, but definitely
• 6:56
  one of those ones where it's been like on my list of bands
• 7:00
  or, you know, artists, whoever that I need to look into.
• 7:06
  I, I started like, you know, a couple of years ago with, with a
• 7:09
  couple of these, you know, kind of like classic rock artists
• 7:14
  that I, that weren't really on the radio a lot.
• 7:16
  And like, I knew that like, I should be listening to Warren
• 7:21
  Zevon was on there, Cat Stevens on there, Steely Dan was on
• 7:26
  there. What they get into and love.
• 7:28
  So yeah, this was just just finishing my checklist of
• 7:32
  artists that I need to listen to and I need to learn more about.
• 7:37
  There you go. Sometimes it'd be that simple,
• 7:39
  so. After been a Cat Stevens
• 7:42
  episode, that's a really good question.
• 7:43
  No, not yet. All right, not yet.
• 7:46
  Randy's making a new episode already.
• 7:49
  It always happens I I am not one to take a break.
• 7:55
  So I mean, that voice you just heard was was Patrick.
• 7:58
  And so after our Neil Young episode, that's kind of how this
• 8:02
  kind of got bumped up the list is we were like, hey, man, would
• 8:05
  you do Zevon? And you said, yeah, I'd, I'd be
• 8:07
  in on that. So talk to me about Zevon.
• 8:10
  So my sort of knowledge about Warren Zevon is mostly from his
• 8:20
  his sphere of influence in terms of bands that I was into that he
• 8:26
  had crossovers with. And I've been lately in what
• 8:30
  I'll call like sort of my third wave or phase of, of music
• 8:35
  discovery, if you will, Like I, I got when I got into music, it
• 8:40
  was actually late in the game. I really did not get into
• 8:44
  hardcore being a fan of, of music and digging into music
• 8:47
  until I got to college. And that first wave was really
• 8:52
  absorbed being different influences that so many of my
• 8:56
  siblings had kind of put upon me, and then getting into my own
• 9:00
  music where all of that crossed over.
• 9:04
  And Zevon sort of always was in the ether, Like he was covered
• 9:08
  by the Grateful Dead. And he had, you know, you know,
• 9:13
  played with R.E.M. And something that I totally
• 9:16
  forgot about for years. Then when I went into a deeper
• 9:20
  dive, so I went to College in the early 90s.
• 9:23
  When I went to a deeper dive into music in the late 90s and
• 9:26
  mid 2000s, it was more about at the time like American indie
• 9:32
  music and, and finding different paths.
• 9:34
  And I am now in my phase of sort of like digging into artists
• 9:39
  from the 60s and 70s that I don't spend enough time with
• 9:43
  that I should. And Warren's Yvonne is
• 9:46
  definitely one of them. He fits into like a a bucket of
• 9:50
  I would say like 4-4 interesting quote UN quote solo artists that
• 9:57
  that all seem to have similar paths in terms of their music
• 10:03
  output. He is his particular approach is
• 10:06
  really interesting to me and it's amazing that I didn't get
• 10:09
  into it sooner because he has such a a mix of satire and and
• 10:18
  real weird sort of dark humor that gets into his a lot of his
• 10:25
  songs. And then he has to Randy's
• 10:27
  point, his sort of his post like awakening moment.
• 10:31
  When he gets sober, he has a, he gets a, a really interesting
• 10:39
  introspective look at himself that I think is an incredible
• 10:43
  part of his, his music and, and really a lot of what makes him a
• 10:50
  legendary songwriter. He he, to Randy's point, is very
• 10:55
  underappreciated and he fits in a group that is so interesting.
• 11:00
  And I've just been digging into this over the last few weeks and
• 11:04
  like, I don't know when I'm actually going to stop because
• 11:07
  I've uncovered so many different things, including like, I have
• 11:10
  to like, like, look at it from the his, his father changed his
• 11:15
  name to Zevon. His actual last name was
• 11:18
  Zivotowski. He was a Ukrainian Jewish
• 11:23
  immigrant. And one of my my father's best
• 11:26
  friends was his last name was Zivotowski.
• 11:29
  And I'm like now I'm on a mission to find out if there's
• 11:32
  any connection between them. It's probably, probably not, but
• 11:36
  yeah, you never know. So, but yeah, it's just a really
• 11:43
  very interesting career that you can you can unpack in so many
• 11:49
  different ways. I think it's, it's interesting,
• 11:53
  like the word underappreciated keeps coming up because I would,
• 11:56
  I would agree that that seems to be the case.
• 12:00
  It it I, I liken this a little bit to when we did our Billy
• 12:04
  Joel episode. It's like this guy that you that
• 12:09
  it appears doesn't get the flowers, but has always gotten
• 12:12
  the flowers, but also doesn't get enough flowers.
• 12:17
  And then you ask the Internet, you know, hey, what's your
• 12:21
  favorite Warren Zevon? And it's one of my most popular
• 12:25
  posts I've I've ever done. And so it's like, OK, so people
• 12:29
  do really love this guy. So it's like how how is you
• 12:35
  know, how is that both possible that he doesn't get enough
• 12:39
  credit, but also it appears that he does because a lot of people
• 12:42
  love the shit out of this guy. So you know, I don't know, man,
• 12:46
  it's it's an interesting cross path because here I am the guy
• 12:51
  like with Billy Joel, it was more so I never just did the
• 12:54
  dive. Like, you know, I knew of Billy
• 12:57
  Joel. I knew a ton of Billy Joel songs
• 12:59
  with Zevon. I knew like 2 maybe coming into
• 13:02
  this. So it's it it's nice to hear
• 13:06
  about the satire because like, I, I mean, you know, it's
• 13:10
  obvious to catch that Jenny, my friend Jenny said he's such a
• 13:13
  smart ass. When I, when I brought up warns
• 13:15
  Yvonne the other day. Like there's definitely a lot of
• 13:18
  that. There's humor, there's there's
• 13:20
  fun songs that it's like a nice cross section of cheesiness
• 13:24
  there. Like there is just delicious
• 13:27
  cheesiness that happens sometimes in some of these songs
• 13:30
  and then sometimes just beautiful songs and then
• 13:33
  sometimes just just really good that I had no idea because, you
• 13:39
  know, obviously when Randy says let's do Warren Zevon, my first
• 13:44
  thought is where Wolves of London guy the guy.
• 13:47
  OK, all right. You know, I never disliked that
• 13:50
  song, but it's like I never liked it enough to follow up on
• 13:55
  what's this guy all about? So that said, like I, I can't
• 13:59
  remember, like if we covered everything or if you, you kind
• 14:04
  of got us down to a, a reasonable amount, Randy, Either
• 14:08
  way, when, when you're looking at this, we, we brought in 67
• 14:11
  songs. So when you're looking at this
• 14:14
  like, how do you, how do you cover Warren Zevon in 20 songs?
• 14:21
  Yeah, it's a it's, it's challenging because he has a lot
• 14:24
  of different styles of songs, a lot of different styles of
• 14:29
  songwriting. And I I just kind of always do
• 14:33
  what I do. And it's, I pick the best songs
• 14:38
  that sound good to my ear. And I had a tough time because
• 14:43
  there's just a lot of really, really good stuff.
• 14:46
  And after a while you, you just got to close your eyes and say
• 14:50
  eenie meenie miney Moe and and make a pick.
• 14:55
  But I, I think what we did here and what was really important to
• 14:58
  me was that at first we had his his debut record, which was like
• 15:04
  6 years before his prime. And like I listening to it, I'm
• 15:09
  like everybody says it's just not him.
• 15:13
  And that's really what it was. I mean, he covered Aiko Aiko on
• 15:18
  that album, just it it wasn't necessary.
• 15:21
  And then we took it all the way from his self-titled to
• 15:27
  Sentimental Hygiene. And then we pivoted and went all
• 15:32
  the way to his last record. Because that's important for the
• 15:37
  story of Warren Zevon. I didn't want to just throw Keep
• 15:40
  Me in your heart and say like, that's just a one off from that.
• 15:45
  Like you just needed to know that story because you can kind
• 15:47
  of tell, you know, there's a cover of Knocking on Heaven's
• 15:50
  Door in there. You can kind of tell that he is
• 15:54
  very accepting of the end of his life when he realizes that this
• 15:59
  is the last pieces of music that he'll ever write.
• 16:04
  So and then I added a couple of songs that were important to the
• 16:09
  catalog that we on albums that we didn't take.
• 16:11
  There's a song called My Shits Fucked Up.
• 16:13
  And that's just, you know, the satire thrown in there and it's
• 16:17
  just a funny song. And then there's another song
• 16:20
  called Hit Somebody, which I'm sure that we'll get into once
• 16:24
  this episode comes in, because as I join this chat, that was
• 16:27
  the song that was playing. And we have hockey fans in here,
• 16:30
  so I'm going to guess that will come up later.
• 16:32
  But I did want to mention personal stories.
• 16:35
  So my father-in-law is a pretty big Warren Zeeman fan.
• 16:39
  And we were talking before about the enjoy every sandwich, you
• 16:46
  know, the the famous line from Letterman.
• 16:49
  And at our wedding, my father-in-law made a toast.
• 16:54
  And I don't think it really like sent in at the time.
• 16:58
  I just kind of thought that was cute.
• 17:02
  I don't think I really understood like the whole weight
• 17:04
  of the story. But like my father-in-law is
• 17:07
  saying, you know, to this person, to you, to my wife and
• 17:09
  all that. And he looks me straight in the
• 17:11
  eye. He says, Randy all the only
• 17:13
  thing I got to say to you is just enjoy every sandwich, man.
• 17:17
  And I'm at the time I'm like, yeah, that that's, that's pretty
• 17:22
  cool. He quoted Boring Zevon.
• 17:24
  Like that's, that's very much him.
• 17:26
  But like the way that I see it now and the way that my
• 17:30
  perspective on life is now, I'm just like, it's just a beautiful
• 17:35
  way to live because it's just such a simple thing.
• 17:38
  I think one of the things that he was kind of talking about in
• 17:42
  his speech was that, you know, we're not going to have a lot of
• 17:47
  big celebrations in life. You know, there's, there's, you
• 17:51
  know, they're not a dime a dozen.
• 17:52
  So just celebrate little things, celebrate little victories,
• 17:57
  things like, you know, I got a promotion today.
• 18:01
  I got, you know, this in the mail and or something silly, you
• 18:06
  know, like it doesn't have to be like, Hey, we bought a house.
• 18:10
  Hey, we, you know, had a baby kind of deal, just like
• 18:15
  celebrate the little things that make life special.
• 18:21
  And it, it, it's kicked in with me a lot lately, especially
• 18:24
  after the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction speech where that
• 18:28
  clip came back up and it just like struck me again.
• 18:31
  And I was just really taken by it.
• 18:34
  And I don't have a tattoo currently, but that is part of
• 18:41
  my tattoo idea. When it when it does come for
• 18:44
  all of you Simpsons fans out there, it's going to be a dual
• 18:47
  tattoo. I think we have some Simpsons
• 18:49
  Simpsons fans in this room. So you remember the joke where
• 18:55
  Homer takes like a, you know, a 20 foot sub from a picnic and he
• 19:05
  keeps eating it week after week. And then he finds it under the
• 19:09
  radiator and like he's in bed and he's like, Marge, I need a
• 19:14
  minute to be with the sandwich. Are you going to eat it?
• 19:17
  Yes. So I there's there's a great
• 19:22
  just screenshot of Homer before he throws the sandwich away,
• 19:28
  like giving it like this passionate little hug.
• 19:30
  And that's what I want my tattoo to be.
• 19:33
  I want I want it to be that shot with it saying enjoy every
• 19:38
  sandwich on the bottom. It's, you know, there's
• 19:42
  something meaningful, but it's also like me to just be, you
• 19:45
  know, completely screwed with it, too.
• 19:47
  It's also very Zevon. That's very much.
• 19:50
  It all kind of comes together. So Brian, like is this like a,
• 19:56
  is this like a, a difficult 20 to knock down to?
• 20:01
  Because I feel like you kept saying I have like 15 or
• 20:04
  something that are locked in, but it seemed like you weren't
• 20:07
  getting anywhere with it for a little while.
• 20:11
  Yeah, it was tough. Yeah.
• 20:14
  At one point I had like 16 locked in with like, I don't
• 20:18
  know, 12 left in the conversation.
• 20:21
  It was, it did get tough because I was thinking about about about
• 20:27
  like gameplay and I'm like, OK, well, you know, what would
• 20:32
  Justin take? What would Randy take?
• 20:34
  Like it was kind of like that. But then at the same time I was
• 20:39
  like, let me just go with, you know, just go with my heart.
• 20:43
  I guess. There were some very tough cuts
• 20:46
  to make, especially there for like probably the last two or
• 20:52
  three. You know, I, I feel like there's
• 20:54
  definitely going to be a couple songs where I'm like, where like
• 21:01
  a like unanimous, like might get screwed up by me because I, I
• 21:07
  maybe I overthought or, you know, tried to play the room a
• 21:10
  little too much. So I'm hoping that, you know,
• 21:15
  and and also just playing the game of the programmed and being
• 21:19
  like, what are not just the 20 best songs, but what are the 20
• 21:24
  songs that I can put forward that will make someone who, you
• 21:30
  know, only knows like the really one popular song.
• 21:34
  What's going to make them say, all right, I'm going to check
• 21:37
  this guy out. So, you know, even some, even
• 21:41
  some on there may not be my favorite, but I feel like they
• 21:46
  would grab somebody and make them want to listen.
• 21:50
  There you go, Patrick. What was it like this go around
• 21:53
  when when you're getting down to your 20?
• 21:57
  I wouldn't say it was tough. It was interesting because so
• 22:00
  much of it was exploratory for me because again, a lot of my,
• 22:06
  my experience with him was, was very focused and limited.
• 22:11
  And what I wanted to do was avoid being like, well, I've,
• 22:14
  I've come to the table with the entirety of Excitable Boy for
• 22:17
  everybody, which would have been an easy, like, you know,
• 22:21
  shorthand for me to do it. Just, I'm a big vinyl nerd.
• 22:24
  And it just got reissued last year and it was like one of the,
• 22:28
  you know, albums that I was listening to for almost, you
• 22:32
  know, daily for a few months. But I think the, the, the
• 22:38
  hardest part is that I could have just, I could have made a
• 22:43
  list of about 4550 songs kind of easily.
• 22:48
  And it's, it's, it's in that's that scope of this list almost
• 22:52
  could change every day for me of like, well, well, maybe I think
• 22:57
  this or maybe I think that. So I'm very interested to see if
• 23:03
  and where we come to consensus and, and some of the things that
• 23:06
  everybody else has brought to the table.
• 23:08
  I, I, I tried to be very eclectic and I did find myself
• 23:11
  getting focused on a about four of the albums and one really in
• 23:21
  particular showed up a lot that I, I wasn't expecting.
• 23:25
  But the more I listened to it, I was like, wow, this is just
• 23:29
  fantastic. So it, it, I, I want to start
• 23:35
  with you pointing out excitable boy.
• 23:38
  That one I didn't know was like the one for, for him.
• 23:44
  You know, based on the answers I was getting like that was the
• 23:48
  one for him. And I mean, you can kind of tell
• 23:50
  when you're listening because I feel like a, a lot of that got
• 23:54
  through on my first pass. And I think I was somewhere in
• 23:57
  the 30s on my first pass. And, and this is what I've been
• 24:00
  doing lately where I'm not sure if I'm on the pulse is in before
• 24:07
  I start making my next round of cuts after the first pass, I
• 24:10
  asked the Internet to to see again, to check the pulse to see
• 24:14
  am I close? And I had 15, I think 15 to 17
• 24:22
  of the answers that were that were coming up.
• 24:25
  I was like, OK, I'm on the right path.
• 24:28
  So like I started making my cuts that way.
• 24:31
  Anything that didn't come up, you know, I'd listen to it and
• 24:34
  be like, can this go with these other ones that that people have
• 24:37
  been saying? So I think ultimately he feels
• 24:41
  like he might be a cream rises to the to the top artist.
• 24:47
  And that leads us to the to the next part of the conversation.
• 24:52
  Randy. Is he that is this a cream rises
• 24:54
  as a crop or is this kind of what Patrick was saying like a
• 24:58
  coin toss could be another 20 on a different day.
• 25:01
  Based on everything we've said, how many do you think we get
• 25:04
  through unanimously? It's a good question to pose for
• 25:08
  sure. I think, yeah, cream does rise
• 25:10
  to the top, but I think if you focus on the cream that rises to
• 25:16
  the top, you're missing so much. You're missing.
• 25:19
  And I think that's essentially what we need to keep in mind
• 25:23
  here is that we know what the cream is and we're not trying to
• 25:32
  enhance that because Werewolves in London and Lawyers, guns and
• 25:36
  money, like those are radio songs and people know those.
• 25:40
  But like, that's the point of this is to point out some of his
• 25:45
  songwriting and some of his just wackiness that some of these
• 25:51
  songs entail and put those to the forefront.
• 25:54
  So I think it's a little bit of both.
• 25:57
  I I think that, yeah, I think that there's some obvious ones
• 26:00
  that should be in no matter what.
• 26:02
  But also like we need to really think about, you know, because
• 26:08
  this this is a really good example of like a list that I'd
• 26:12
  really want to give somebody. Like when you think of other
• 26:17
  artists that we've done like Neil, Neil Young to a lesser
• 26:20
  extent, but like Neil Young is a way more popular artist and you
• 26:25
  can give him Neil Young list to somebody be like, Oh yeah, that
• 26:27
  that tracks. I want to make this list feel
• 26:33
  like somebody's going to get something out of Warren's Yvonne
• 26:36
  and make a fan out of them. So I am going to say I think we
• 26:44
  can get more, but I'm going to be a little bit safe and say 6.
• 26:50
  OK, 6 is a good, good number for a four person panel.
• 26:55
  Yeah. What do you think, Brian?
• 27:00
  Yeah, I, I could see us. You know, I, I heard, you know,
• 27:05
  the album Excitable Boy. I mentioned a couple of times,
• 27:08
  you know, I, I, I do have a lot off of there.
• 27:12
  You know, there were, there were two records that that I, I
• 27:17
  really, really gravitated towards and I think really tell
• 27:21
  a lot of the story of Warren Zevon.
• 27:23
  I don't know. I'm between, I'm between being a
• 27:32
  little bit more pessimistic and a little more optimistic, but
• 27:36
  I'm just stick in the middle and say 5.
• 27:38
  Sometimes that be the safe bet, friend.
• 27:41
  All right, six and five are off the board.
• 27:43
  Patrick, what do you think? Is it, is it strong that we go
• 27:47
  above the six? Yeah, I would be, I think I
• 27:53
  would be shocked if we got above 6.
• 27:55
  So I, I have to take four. I think it would be very hard to
• 28:00
  imagine 7 coming through. So I'm going to take, I'm going
• 28:05
  to take the under and go with four all.
• 28:07
  Right, well, I'll be the opposite then I'll I'll take the
• 28:10
  seven. Yeah, it's going to be more than
• 28:13
  three. For sure.
• 28:14
  Well, yeah, again, kind of doing that same math.
• 28:16
  I, I, I, it, it seems like, it seems like it should at least be
• 28:21
  more than three because it, it feels like there's going to be a
• 28:24
  lot of threes, right? Like of those 15 that that I had
• 28:29
  off my first pass a lot, a good number of those are probably
• 28:33
  threes and not unanimous. So I mean, I guess to Patrick's
• 28:38
  .7 probably is hard, but I can't take 5 1/2.
• 28:45
  So, so I guess going up, up and above is, is the better way to
• 28:49
  go. And I think I might have a song
• 28:51
  that I'd I'd be willing to put through as the as the number 10.
• 28:55
  So all right, we're going to take a quick pause and on the
• 28:58
  other side, we are going to play the game.
• 29:00
  Mr. Probe and Jack. And with that, the name of the
• 29:18
  game is deprogrammed. The four of us have come through
• 29:21
  a good portion of the Warren Zevon discography and plucked
• 29:24
  out 20 songs that were now going to mash together in an attempt
• 29:26
  to create a top 10 starter kit for you, in case you have never
• 29:30
  given Warren Zevon the time of day.
• 29:32
  And how dare you? So there's three different ways
• 29:34
  I can go. I can go the obvious, I can go
• 29:36
  the obvious #2 or I can do the one that's already come up.
• 29:41
  And I, I feel like really fits, fits the bill for, for what it
• 29:47
  is. And you know, I'm, I'm doing
• 29:49
  that. I don't care if it gets in or
• 29:50
  not. I'm going to have one of you.
• 29:54
  Hopefully I have two. Maybe I've got all three of you.
• 29:56
  I'm going to go with hit somebody.
• 29:59
  Well, you got me. I don't.
• 30:05
  I do not have that in my top 20. I had a feeling that would be
• 30:08
  like a 2 but I'm glad it didn't get bend.
• 30:11
  I couldn't. I couldn't not have it.
• 30:14
  It's a It's a song about hockey where he goes.
• 30:17
  It's a. Beautiful song about hockey.
• 30:20
  He goes hit somebody like. He.
• 30:23
  Doesn't even sing. It's hit somebody.
• 30:25
  It's it's literally somebody like whoever did that part was
• 30:31
  just somebody he probably grabbed at a hockey game that
• 30:33
  was saying that like no, a couple of times.
• 30:37
  No, it's Mitch Album. Oh, is it really?
• 30:39
  Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that.
• 30:43
  Yeah. Oh, shit.
• 30:47
  All right. Well, that changes the
• 30:49
  conversation. But the, the reason I, I, I took
• 30:53
  this for a lot of reasons, but the reason why I've attached
• 30:56
  myself to the song for so long outside of it being about a
• 31:00
  hockey player and being the sad story about a hockey player, is
• 31:03
  that a while ago, probably over a decade ago at this point,
• 31:08
  Kevin Smith was really kind of obsessed with the song.
• 31:13
  And to the point where he wrote a pilot for ATV show called Hit
• 31:20
  Somebody that was essentially about Buddy who was an enforcer.
• 31:25
  Now, around the time that he wanted to do it, there was a
• 31:28
  little movie called Goon that came out that I think probably
• 31:33
  derailed some of, you know, what he wanted to do.
• 31:38
  It didn't get picked up anywhere, unfortunately.
• 31:42
  But I just remember him talking about it so passionately in
• 31:45
  interviews. And I remember, obviously I'm
• 31:47
  going to go and seek it out and check it out and, and I'm like,
• 31:50
  whoa, this is, you know it, It's legit.
• 31:54
  I mean, how often does that happen to, you know, kids that
• 31:59
  grow up wanting to play hockey end up being like 6 foot 4,
• 32:04
  don't skate very well, But you know, they just want to be a
• 32:08
  part of the game And, and they don't want to, you know, fight
• 32:12
  people. They don't want to.
• 32:14
  I mean, like that's part of the game.
• 32:16
  I, I think some people enjoy the fighting, but like they, they
• 32:19
  want to be a suit. Everybody wants to be a
• 32:20
  superstar and like, they don't want to play on ice for 9
• 32:25
  minutes a game just to hit a couple people and you know,
• 32:29
  skate off like they, they, they want to help the team.
• 32:32
  And by helping the team, to them, it's it's scoring goals.
• 32:35
  It's it's getting the puck in in the net.
• 32:38
  And I love how the song is so open-ended.
• 32:43
  Like you don't know whether or not Buddy dies 'cause he gets
• 32:49
  hit really hard on the ice and then the puck goes in.
• 32:53
  So it, it leaves it open-ended to the fact that it's like, oh,
• 32:57
  does he even know that he scored this goal?
• 33:00
  Is his like life over? Is his career over?
• 33:05
  You just don't know that it's the he doesn't say it.
• 33:09
  So it's just one of these things.
• 33:10
  I, I love that about the song 'cause it's just such a, you
• 33:14
  know, it can lead you in any direction.
• 33:19
  It's, it's, it's really a wonderful song.
• 33:22
  What is a poor boy or what is a farm farm boy from Canada to do?
• 33:27
  Hit somebody. I've got to correct myself.
• 33:30
  OK Mitch Mitch album Co wrote the song but the backing but the
• 33:35
  backing vocal is David Letterman.
• 33:39
  Oh, that makes so much more sense.
• 33:44
  I love that. Yeah, I love that.
• 33:47
  And you and you, you'd be hard. You wouldn't be hard pressed to
• 33:49
  twist my arm because it was in my bonus tier.
• 33:52
  So it's just showing my top 20. I I definitely want to bring it
• 33:55
  back up if we don't have a lot of threes, so.
• 33:59
  All right, so get the two and we move on.
• 34:02
  Randy, I'm. Going to go with a fun one here
• 34:05
  from Bad luck Streak and Dancing School.
• 34:07
  I I just it's probably not going to make the list, but it's like
• 34:13
  really danceable and like the whole concept of the song is a
• 34:17
  lot of fun where, you know, he's like talking about him being in
• 34:21
  love with this girl and he just can't tell you her name.
• 34:26
  But like the back of folks is like, what's her name?
• 34:29
  Can't tell you it, it's just and there's no like pay off to it.
• 34:34
  And I think that's what's great about it is that you never find
• 34:37
  out who this woman is and you never find out if their
• 34:41
  relationship ends up blossoming. So the song is called A Certain
• 34:45
  Girl. Yeah.
• 34:47
  Oh yeah. I did not have that one but I
• 34:51
  but that again that goes right into the lane of I can totally
• 34:55
  get why so that would not be a hard 1 to get me to agree on
• 35:00
  all. Right, so we get a three there
• 35:02
  though. That's all right.
• 35:04
  Threes are good on a four person panel, Brian.
• 35:09
  So I'm going to go with, you know, I don't know if we, if we
• 35:15
  use this word in the intro. I can't remember.
• 35:18
  The one thing I learned about Warren Zevon pretty much from
• 35:22
  from from the jump is he is a storyteller.
• 35:29
  All of his, you know, a lot of these songs like they, they tell
• 35:33
  a story. It sounds like he's just like
• 35:36
  you're watching something and he's narrating it like the
• 35:39
  rooster in the in the Robin Hood movie.
• 35:44
  And we are kids, like, like, that's what I picture, you know,
• 35:48
  in some of these songs. So right off the bat, I'm going
• 35:51
  to go with Frank and Jesse James.
• 35:53
  Yeah, yeah. I did not have it.
• 35:57
  Patrick outline he might get the the final say if this is all
• 36:06
  going his way here all. Right.
• 36:11
  We take a three there though. And Patrick.
• 36:15
  All right, I'm going to throw one out that I'm almost certain
• 36:18
  is I would be shocked if I've got anybody else who's on board
• 36:23
  with this, but it just is to me. It's like the the essence of his
• 36:30
  crafty writing in a weird, humorous way.
• 36:34
  And it's also off of bad luck and dancing school.
• 36:38
  And it's gorilla. You're a desperado.
• 36:40
  I love that song, but no, I don't have it.
• 36:44
  I'm glad you picked it though. I don't have.
• 36:47
  That one, I didn't, I didn't take it.
• 36:50
  I was like, that's one of the songs.
• 36:52
  I was like, oh, I'm certain that Justin is going to have this.
• 36:54
  This is like, this is like Justin's known.
• 36:58
  This is like an Aquabats kind of thing, like.
• 37:02
  I'll say that. That the Internet like really
• 37:07
  agrees with you Patrick. This is when I almost went back
• 37:09
  and put on my list to and try to make room for it because I got
• 37:13
  this answer so much. That's that's so interesting.
• 37:16
  Yeah. That, I mean, it's, it's a fun,
• 37:18
  weird song. I knew it was a long shot, but I
• 37:21
  just, it, it really was one of the ones that jumped out at me
• 37:26
  and just made me like so glad that I was digging back into
• 37:30
  this vast catalog that he has. I'm going to move us to
• 37:36
  excitable boy. Let's let's start figuring out
• 37:39
  what is going to get through here.
• 37:41
  This could this could easily split the room.
• 37:44
  This could be twos, this could be threes.
• 37:46
  This could be unanimous. This one bumped up my list
• 37:50
  because I loved it on 1st pass, but I got it a lot when I asked.
• 37:55
  So it's like, OK cool, this is how I know I'm on the right
• 37:58
  path. How about rolling the headless
• 37:59
  Thompson gunner? That was going to be the next
• 38:02
  song I put out there, so yeah. Yeah, I got it.
• 38:08
  I don't have it. And this is can I can I tell you
• 38:12
  why? I mean, this is the thing of it.
• 38:13
  Like I that would have been a song that I easily would have
• 38:17
  put on, but I was like you had I had originally in my top ten.
• 38:21
  I had 7 songs off of excitable Boy.
• 38:24
  I'm like, you got to stop. I was like, this isn't, this
• 38:27
  isn't how you, you, you know, enter a conversation to talk
• 38:31
  about about a guy's catalog. But I totally get it.
• 38:33
  There's nothing about that that I would argue with at all.
• 38:37
  It's such a great song. We'll take a three there.
• 38:39
  We'll take a three, Randy. Let's just try to get in the
• 38:45
  unanimous 1 and I'll go with something real simple.
• 38:48
  I'll just go lawyers, guns and money.
• 38:50
  Just. Yeah.
• 38:52
  Yeah, all right, That's my, that's my #1.
• 38:58
  OK, wow. Yeah, You know, that was going
• 39:02
  to be the one I was going to lead off with.
• 39:04
  But I went with hockey because hockey.
• 39:10
  This is a song again, when I was talking to Jenny the other day,
• 39:13
  she goes lawyers, guns and money better be on this list.
• 39:16
  And I was like, oh, good. I I kept it.
• 39:19
  Again, this was an answer I didn't expect to see as much as
• 39:22
  I I did. Clearly.
• 39:24
  Apparently, it was a hit that I'm not just not aware of, but,
• 39:29
  I mean, it made my first pass. And then when I saw that answer
• 39:31
  kept coming in, as a matter of fact, it may have been the first
• 39:34
  answer I got. I was like, OK, this one's
• 39:37
  staying. I'll.
• 39:38
  I'll give it another listen to see where it's going to land on
• 39:40
  my list. But this one's staying in my
• 39:42
  20s. So I went back and listened.
• 39:43
  I was like, well, yeah, of course I keep this.
• 39:46
  So all right, oops. I should probably mark the right
• 39:51
  song, not this other song that did not get played.
• 39:55
  All right, So Lawyers, Guns and Money was Randy and Brian.
• 40:02
  I'm I'm going to go to the song that Randy talked about in the
• 40:05
  intro, steal his Thunder a little bit.
• 40:09
  I honestly only knew this song because of Eddie Vedder.
• 40:13
  I didn't know the whole story behind it.
• 40:17
  I'm I'm going to hope that everyone has it too.
• 40:21
  Keep me in your heart. Yeah, yeah.
• 40:24
  I mean, that is that I, I'm going to go out on a limb and
• 40:28
  say that might be one of the best songs ever written.
• 40:33
  I mean, it is. Not wrong.
• 40:35
  It is so incredibly poignant and just raw and great and it's,
• 40:43
  it's, it's not cliche at all that it's on the list.
• 40:47
  I think a lot of us have reasons why we're exposed to it, but I
• 40:50
  mean, every time I've listened to it, it's just, it blows me
• 40:53
  away. It is interesting that like, you
• 40:57
  know me not like being able to put the math together or do the
• 41:01
  research, you know, beforehand, like not knowing that that's his
• 41:06
  last record when I'm listening on my first pass, like I there's
• 41:11
  a noticeable difference to the wind.
• 41:14
  And for the record, like I got an answer a couple times every
• 41:19
  song on the wind and I got this one a good couple times, of
• 41:23
  course. But like there is a tenderness
• 41:26
  to this that really made it stick out that I was like, I
• 41:29
  don't know that I had this necessarily covered with him.
• 41:33
  And to finally hear these stories that kind of put those
• 41:37
  pieces together. Kind of kind of what Randy was
• 41:41
  saying is like if you're listening close enough, like if
• 41:43
  I was listening a little closer, maybe if I would have listened
• 41:46
  one or two more times, I would have known, you know, like Randy
• 41:50
  wouldn't have had to tell me that.
• 41:51
  That kind of tells you how good this guy was at writing songs.
• 41:58
  I mean like and storytelling, even though this was his story
• 42:02
  that he was telling so. It's the way that he puts it all
• 42:06
  together. Like I wouldn't, you know, when
• 42:10
  you're on your deathbed, when you're thinking about your your
• 42:14
  final days and you're you're you're sick and there's not
• 42:18
  really a cure for what you're going through.
• 42:22
  Like the last thing that I think I would think of is to think to
• 42:30
  say that to someone. And it's really poignant that,
• 42:35
  you know, it's not like he's, he's not being, you know,
• 42:40
  self-centered. It's just like, hey, you know,
• 42:45
  I, I, I want you to Remember Me. I want you to, you know, and,
• 42:52
  and again, a lot of his life was very chaotic.
• 42:57
  And I think for all of that, like, he could have gone down if
• 43:04
  he didn't have this record, if this didn't unfortunately happen
• 43:07
  to him, it could have, you know, still been this negative mark on
• 43:12
  his life. But I think with this song
• 43:15
  especially, it's telling people that he was accepting of his
• 43:21
  fate and he just wanted to be remembered for something
• 43:28
  positive that he did. There you have it, 2 down, 8 to
• 43:33
  go. Where do you want to go,
• 43:36
  Patrick? I I'm going to go completely off
• 43:41
  the wall and wild again, but it also brings us into sports.
• 43:44
  I'd be shocked if anybody has this, but I could not this like
• 43:50
  enraptured me. It's also off of bad luck in
• 43:53
  dancing school, and it's Bill Lee.
• 43:57
  It was a really short song. I was surprised how short it
• 44:00
  was. But it is, it's like a minute
• 44:01
  and 29 seconds. Yeah, yeah, I I love space, man,
• 44:06
  but no. No, I don't have.
• 44:08
  It I can't save you either, but I will say yet again, you've
• 44:11
  you've gone, you know, outside the box.
• 44:13
  The Internet agrees with you. I got this one a couple times.
• 44:17
  There you go. I am.
• 44:18
  I am the. I am Internet weird and I am
• 44:20
  proud of it. All right, what do we have
• 44:27
  covered here? I I feel pretty good about the
• 44:30
  gameplay so far. I'll do it fine, I'll do it.
• 44:37
  I I can understand if 2 of you don't have this and this lands
• 44:42
  as a 2, but we can't have have this discussion without this
• 44:47
  song coming up. I'm shocked at how much I love
• 44:50
  it. I also feel like us bringing it
• 44:52
  up here gives it back to him instead of Kid Rock Werewolves
• 44:56
  of London. Yeah, why wouldn't everybody
• 44:59
  have it? No, I don't have it.
• 45:02
  Oh, OK. So I I, I felt I felt redemption
• 45:07
  for not taking it in the intro when Justin said this is the one
• 45:11
  song I knew and it didn't make me want to dive into him.
• 45:15
  I get that. Which was, you know, yeah.
• 45:19
  So, so, so when I heard that, I was like, OK, OK, there's some
• 45:22
  redemption because I don't know, I, I, I'm fine putting it on the
• 45:28
  list if you know, with when it comes to it, it's just, I don't
• 45:32
  know it. I mean it.
• 45:33
  Maybe I overthought or whatever, but it I mean the words came
• 45:38
  from Justin's mouth in the intro.
• 45:40
  This song did not make me want to get into him so.
• 45:44
  Yeah, but also I love it. Yeah.
• 45:48
  You've never been in the car with a four year old playing the
• 45:50
  song and him, so yeah. Yeah, I, there's no way I would
• 46:00
  My, my, it would be impossible for me personally not to have
• 46:03
  the song because again, like my exposure and knowing of Zevon
• 46:07
  was the Grateful Dead covered the song literally like a couple
• 46:12
  of weeks after it got released. And then they did it a bunch of
• 46:15
  times in the 1978 tour that they did.
• 46:20
  And that ultimately LED back to was it the 1989 album Randy?
• 46:26
  You would know it. I can't remember the name of it,
• 46:27
  but actually a few guys in the Dead played on that with with
• 46:32
  him. But yeah, Werewolves is.
• 46:34
  Definitely hygiene I think. Yeah, no, not sentimental
• 46:37
  hygiene. It was the one.
• 46:38
  After that. Yeah, it's the one after it came
• 46:40
  out in 89. Yep, we didn't add that to the
• 46:43
  list so I don't remember at this moment.
• 46:46
  All right, well, where was the London Grabs 3?
• 46:49
  So we'll get to that when we get to that, Randy.
• 46:54
  Let's go with something that I think deserves to be unanimous.
• 46:59
  And again, you know, we talked about addiction, we talked about
• 47:02
  kind of, you know, his his background and, and all that.
• 47:06
  And this one just sort of heartfelt defines kind of, you
• 47:12
  know, what he was going through. Carmelita.
• 47:16
  Yes. Oh yeah.
• 47:19
  No, I don't have that. 10 No. Oh, that's disappointing.
• 47:25
  We'll have that. That might be some push back on
• 47:27
  that one. Yeah, some of these threes are
• 47:31
  so good already. Where we at like 7 between the
• 47:35
  unanimous and the threes. The hockey song is still alive.
• 47:40
  So it is. Yeah, a lot of.
• 47:42
  Threes. I'm very sad that it's probably
• 47:45
  not going to hit either 6 or 7, but we can fight for it.
• 47:49
  We can certainly fight for it. We'll.
• 47:51
  See, we'll see what we got coming around.
• 47:54
  All right. So that takes a three and Brian
• 47:56
  all. Right, I'm back to Excitable
• 48:01
  Boy. Maybe we can find something
• 48:03
  there. How about tenderness on the
• 48:09
  block? That's a good one, but I think
• 48:13
  to Patrick's point you had to leave something from Excitable
• 48:17
  Boy out. I picked 6 and that one just
• 48:20
  didn't make it. I took six as well.
• 48:24
  I guess I should have been more excited about My Excitable Boy
• 48:28
  because I didn't. Yeah, I paired back so much from
• 48:31
  it because I felt like I was being too heavy on it.
• 48:33
  But yeah, that's a it is a great song.
• 48:36
  It falls down in that zone of I was overthinking it.
• 48:40
  Trying not to be too heavy on that album.
• 48:43
  I can't save you, Brian. I I have 5 from that record.
• 48:47
  That's just not one of them. All right, Patrick.
• 48:54
  All right, I'm, I'm going to again go into a zone where I'm
• 48:58
  probably sure that no one has this.
• 49:02
  Maybe one person has it, I don't know.
• 49:05
  But I would be shocked if we got to three and this is off the
• 49:10
  wind. Ella more dime Vida.
• 49:14
  Oh, wow. No, no.
• 49:16
  No, I don't have that. All right, boom.
• 49:21
  I need to look it up, know how to spell it.
• 49:25
  Ella, more. All right.
• 49:29
  What did I do last time? I did werewolves last time.
• 49:34
  OK, this is an answer I got a good number of times.
• 49:40
  How about poor, poor pitiful me? I left it off.
• 49:46
  I yeah, sorry. So did I it?
• 49:50
  Was kind of the last cut. Ish was that a no for me?
• 49:56
  That's the next one I was going to play.
• 49:57
  Oh, hey, all right, I'll take a two there.
• 50:00
  That's good for me. Not.
• 50:01
  Bad deserves the two. And you may not make it, but you
• 50:06
  know, at least it gets to hang on for a minute till we land
• 50:09
  some threes. All right, Randy.
• 50:13
  I'll go one that kind of fits a current situation that we're in,
• 50:17
  in, you know, times of war, I suppose.
• 50:22
  He had a couple where he addressed like, you know,
• 50:25
  political climate. And I chose this one over the
• 50:30
  other one. This one is the envoy.
• 50:33
  Yeah. No.
• 50:36
  I did not have the envoy, but I I get your vibe, yeah.
• 50:42
  I took it for like the exact same reason that's.
• 50:45
  Another It's a great song talking.
• 50:46
  About Israel, he's talking about Iraq.
• 50:50
  Yeah, as soon as it starts, I'm like, oh wait, is, is this from
• 50:53
  like a week ago? Yeah, that one came up a lot.
• 50:58
  More things change, the more they stay the same.
• 51:00
  That's right. That's right.
• 51:03
  All right, the envoy will cling on to life here for a couple
• 51:06
  more rounds, I presume, Brian. All right, I'm gonna go with one
• 51:12
  of my favorites. You know, I'm when I do my
• 51:15
  listens, I, I, I move ones to the top of my list that are like
• 51:19
  instant, instant ones. And this was one of the first
• 51:23
  instant ones. Hassan, hasten down the wind so
• 51:28
  I can't speak. I don't have.
• 51:30
  That no. I do not have that.
• 51:33
  Oh no, so we might be one of us at least one of the the other
• 51:41
  three of us is wrong because I got that answer a lot like
• 51:45
  whereas Patrick's I got like one or no, I'm sorry, Gorilla, We
• 51:49
  got a lot Billy. We've got a good couple times,
• 51:52
  but I feel like hasten down the wind came came in a lot too.
• 51:56
  So again, the Internet Internet agrees with you, Brian, even
• 52:01
  though we don't, so that's OK. That's the beauty of this
• 52:05
  though, what this is turning into.
• 52:07
  And I think the one that honestly, when we did the
• 52:10
  episode that frustrated me so much, but it was such a
• 52:13
  beautiful way of going about it, was the white stripe episode
• 52:17
  where I think we picked 80% of the catalog that we did.
• 52:21
  And it was really, so much of it was undeniable.
• 52:26
  And that's kind of what this is turning into, it seems.
• 52:29
  Yeah, we're going to end up covering a lot, so.
• 52:33
  Yeah. All right.
• 52:35
  So, Patrick, it is your turn. All right, so I'm going to play
• 52:40
  one that I'm, I'm hoping is actually going to put me on the
• 52:44
  board for getting, you know, group agreements on because I've
• 52:47
  I've played a few that are odd ducks and I'm going to go with
• 52:52
  the title track on excitable boy.
• 52:54
  Excitable boy. Yeah, you got me still.
• 52:59
  I don't have it. No.
• 53:03
  I don't and it it actually hurts me because I so this song
• 53:08
  reminded me of my son. He is he's on the spectrum and
• 53:14
  he loves playing football as his favorite thing.
• 53:18
  And whenever he got really excited and happy when he was a
• 53:23
  kid, he would like flap his hands.
• 53:25
  So like I always thought of him when I heard this song.
• 53:28
  But. I'm not sure why I cut it.
• 53:32
  Oh man. You hate your child, admit.
• 53:35
  It just admit it. We'll take the three there,
• 53:39
  though. These three are looking good,
• 53:41
  I'm guessing. I mean, look there, there's got
• 53:44
  to be at least one more in here somewhere.
• 53:46
  I'm just not sure which one it is.
• 53:48
  Yeah. I'll go with just to see.
• 53:53
  I'll go with another one. I got a good couple times.
• 53:55
  How about Muhammad's radio? Yeah, no, but I don't like
• 54:02
  silence. I don't have it.
• 54:05
  Oh no. That that.
• 54:08
  But again, just let's let's see where the chips fall.
• 54:11
  I can totally be persuaded. Yeah, it's at this point though,
• 54:17
  these twos are starting to look almost on the outs, I think.
• 54:22
  We're up. 8 between the unanimous and the threes.
• 54:25
  So at this point, two of these twos have a chance still.
• 54:29
  So. All right, Randy.
• 54:33
  I'm going to give a nod to threads right here.
• 54:36
  This is the song that I saw so many people mention on threads
• 54:42
  that I'm like, OK, why is this not on my radar again?
• 54:45
  It's probably because it was the last track of the self title
• 54:49
  record. And in between, you know, the
• 54:52
  record and then starting up Excitable Boy, there's kind of
• 54:56
  this buffer. It's not like a song that grabs
• 54:58
  you right away. It needs to kind of develop.
• 55:01
  But it's beautiful song. I'm going to go not Gorillaz,
• 55:05
  you're a desperado, but a desperado under the eaves.
• 55:09
  No, yeah. I don't have it, but again, that
• 55:12
  is a great choice. It was very much on the line.
• 55:18
  A lot of people said it though, right?
• 55:19
  Yes, yeah, it came up a lot. Yep, Yep.
• 55:22
  So that's a 2, Woo. Barely clinging on.
• 55:28
  Barely clinging on. Right.
• 55:30
  Bryant. I don't even know where to go
• 55:34
  anywhere. I'm going to keep on going on my
• 55:37
  lips here. Let's see, how about let nothing
• 55:40
  come between you? Now.
• 55:43
  No. Which record is that?
• 55:47
  The envoy. There it is no.
• 55:57
  OK. Sometimes the timing, sometimes
• 56:01
  the timing, Patrick? I'm going to try my hand for
• 56:08
  something that's in my top ten, but boy, I'm not feeling great
• 56:11
  right now with I've got one on the board, which was pretty
• 56:17
  freaking obvious if we're really being honest.
• 56:20
  But I'm going to go with off of the envoy, Charlie's medicine.
• 56:25
  Oh. No, no.
• 56:29
  All right. I want to say that was like a
• 56:31
  late cut, all right. That was one where I I like knew
• 56:38
  I wasn't going to take it just because it fit kind of like a
• 56:41
  second tier, but I still liked it.
• 56:45
  Let's see 1234. I feel like I got this one a
• 56:54
  couple times so I might be able to land this one.
• 56:58
  How about play it all night long?
• 57:01
  You got me. I do not have it.
• 57:06
  Wow. Justin and I are like tag team
• 57:09
  partners. I know, right?
• 57:11
  It's crazy. OK, We'll take a two there.
• 57:14
  We'll take a two there. This one was a three and then
• 57:20
  this one was a three and this one was a two.
• 57:23
  I should be marking these off as I go, Randy.
• 57:27
  I don't think this makes the list, but I love how he just
• 57:31
  fucking wrote a disco song. Night time in the switching
• 57:35
  yard. Yeah, I.
• 57:38
  Don't have it but it's so good. I.
• 57:41
  Do I got it? Hey, great.
• 57:43
  Nice. Love it.
• 57:46
  Technically speaking, right now, that song has a better chance of
• 57:51
  getting in than the twos, technically speaking.
• 57:55
  That has a better chance of getting in than Mohammed's radio
• 57:58
  and Desperados under the. Eaves, technically speaking, I
• 58:02
  mean, obviously we'll, we'll cross those bridges when we get
• 58:04
  there. But all right, Brian.
• 58:11
  How about Johnny strikes up the band?
• 58:15
  Yes. I don't.
• 58:19
  I don't have it. It was only two.
• 58:22
  Yeah, I, it was on my first pass, but that's a song that
• 58:30
  fell victim to the. I'm looking at how much I had
• 58:33
  through Excitable Boy and when I looked at the other songs that I
• 58:37
  had, I was like, well, I guess, I guess that's the odd man out
• 58:42
  so. I I think I'm all done with my
• 58:45
  excitable boy. I got all six of mine are off
• 58:48
  the board so. Oh yeah, I think I am too.
• 58:53
  We probably we probably represented that whole record
• 58:55
  for close to. Pretty close.
• 58:57
  Well, I still wonder. Think two more, one more.
• 59:03
  Technically, there's only, technically there's only two.
• 59:06
  We'll again cross that bridge. All right, Patrick.
• 59:11
  Oh, I'm. I'm just throwing things from
• 59:15
  the wind at this point. Dirty Life and Times, yeah.
• 59:20
  Yes. All right.
• 59:23
  I feel good though. I feel good.
• 59:24
  That's a three. That's good.
• 59:26
  Yeah, that's a good three. I like that.
• 59:28
  Yeah, that was that was a tough cut.
• 59:30
  I think that was his. I don't know if it was his
• 59:34
  memoir, but there was a book written called Dirty Life and
• 59:37
  Times. I mean all these.
• 59:38
  Types. And the book tapes.
• 59:40
  Yeah, didn't it? It wasn't it his one, his wife
• 59:42
  and somebody that was wife. Yeah, I wasn't sure if that one
• 59:45
  was his ex-wife or, or a different one was, but there's
• 59:48
  been a couple of different things written about him.
• 59:51
  Oh, you know what? I think it actually was the
• 59:54
  Hayden piece that he wrote was called Dirty Life and Times, if
• 1:00:00
  I'm not mistaken. But I don't know.
• 1:00:01
  I'll I'll buy all these at some. Point so all right, so I've.
• 1:00:06
  Got might be you might be right. I think it's.
• 1:00:08
  I think the I think it's I'll sleep when I'm dead was.
• 1:00:13
  Yeah. That sounds right also.
• 1:00:16
  Yeah, that makes sense too. I'm down to 6.
• 1:00:20
  I feel like we got like another round or two in US.
• 1:00:22
  I've got one that came up a two that came up a lot that we have
• 1:00:27
  somehow not gotten to. 1 feels like it could be a 21 I have no
• 1:00:35
  idea about, so I'm going to go with the one that feels like it
• 1:00:38
  could be A2. How about my shit's fucked up?
• 1:00:42
  I didn't take it. No, I didn't take it, but I
• 1:00:45
  wanted to. Yeah, I didn't take it either.
• 1:00:47
  Bend has been, for the first time today, crazy.
• 1:00:52
  OK. You see why I added it to the
• 1:00:54
  list though? Yeah, yeah, it's, it's very
• 1:00:57
  Warren. That one came up like a lot so.
• 1:01:01
  I think that's another memoir thing of his.
• 1:01:04
  It's called When My Shit's Fucked Up.
• 1:01:06
  Would have to be like some of these are are both songs, song
• 1:01:10
  titles and books, right. All right, Randy.
• 1:01:16
  I only have 4 left which is insane.
• 1:01:20
  How about wild age? Yeah, I don't have it.
• 1:01:25
  I don't either. Another two.
• 1:01:27
  Another two. Another two.
• 1:01:31
  Technically all the twos are dead in the water.
• 1:01:35
  Now we'll see about that. Let's see.
• 1:01:37
  But technically, Brian? There's gotta be something else
• 1:01:43
  out there. How about ain't that pretty at
• 1:01:46
  all? That's when we got a lot and.
• 1:01:50
  I Oh yeah, I have that all right.
• 1:01:53
  I don't. I do not.
• 1:01:56
  So, Patrick? What did you take?
• 1:01:59
  Wait till you get to it. Patrick's my It's gonna be a
• 1:02:02
  long rundown, yeah. Well, I mean we've, we've
• 1:02:05
  already had three that were flat out eliminated that I put in.
• 1:02:09
  So no are actually 4 and I've got my my rundown of Tier 2 is
• 1:02:15
  going to be pretty pretty epic in terms of its half your lack
• 1:02:22
  of resonance. Yeah.
• 1:02:25
  All right, so let's find out. Let's find out what the next one
• 1:02:28
  is. Patrick, you're up.
• 1:02:29
  All right, I'm going to go with the last of my top ten, also
• 1:02:34
  from Bad Luck in Dancing School, which I think has become sort of
• 1:02:39
  my favorite new album of his. And Empty Handed Heart, Yeah.
• 1:02:45
  No. This was a tough cut all.
• 1:02:50
  Right, all right. I'll take it though.
• 1:02:52
  Yeah, I'll take it. As opposed to another binner.
• 1:02:55
  Yes. All right, I think this is our
• 1:02:58
  last round because I think Randy only has one song left.
• 1:03:00
  Anyway, 22 OK, so this will be our last round.
• 1:03:06
  I'll do the one that it feels like it has a chance, but I'm
• 1:03:12
  not optimistic. How about sentimental hygiene?
• 1:03:15
  No, yes, 03. I was involved as well.
• 1:03:20
  OK, now the threes have themselves a conversation.
• 1:03:26
  All right, Randy. Right, two left.
• 1:03:31
  I don't think that there's one over the other that would be
• 1:03:35
  more likely to be in the top 10. So Patrick said he liked this
• 1:03:39
  album. So I took the title track off at
• 1:03:41
  Bad Luck Streak and Dancing School.
• 1:03:43
  Really, man, really what that was like my #21 like.
• 1:03:48
  Oh. I, I kind of was listening to it
• 1:03:52
  and I was like, I don't think anybody's going to have this so.
• 1:03:56
  And it didn't. It was just me so but.
• 1:03:58
  Yeah, it was the same boat. Like I I put it off as a late
• 1:04:01
  cut, which is ironic, but again, that falls into that zone.
• 1:04:05
  If it's, it could just as easily be at the top.
• 1:04:10
  I that's one of a song that probably would have made it if
• 1:04:13
  anybody answered it on the Internet.
• 1:04:15
  I would have been like, yeah, OK, that saves it.
• 1:04:18
  But nobody said it. And I was like, am I alone on
• 1:04:21
  this? So just for paperwork purposes,
• 1:04:26
  was that a no as well? Brian for you all.
• 1:04:29
  Right. Yeah, no.
• 1:04:30
  OK. All right.
• 1:04:32
  And Brian, you're up. I have very many left.
• 1:04:37
  I only got 3 left. Let's go with my 3 left.
• 1:04:41
  One is from excitable Boy, which I know we're we're kind of done
• 1:04:44
  with. So how about bed of coals?
• 1:04:50
  No. No.
• 1:04:53
  No all. Right, Patrick?
• 1:05:01
  I'm just going to start burning off my second tier that no one's
• 1:05:04
  going to have from the wind. Rub me raw no.
• 1:05:08
  No, no, no. All right.
• 1:05:13
  That is very much a yeah That that that could be the name of a
• 1:05:20
  book, but not a Warrens Yvonne memoir.
• 1:05:23
  War Book. Maybe.
• 1:05:25
  Maybe in a different? All right, so I'm going to dump
• 1:05:30
  out here. I don't know about any of these,
• 1:05:34
  so who knows? Going to the envoy?
• 1:05:38
  How about the overdraft? Considered, but no.
• 1:05:44
  No. They caught all.
• 1:05:47
  Right. How about looking for the next
• 1:05:48
  best thing? No, no all.
• 1:05:54
  Right. And last but not least, bad
• 1:05:56
  karma. Nope.
• 1:06:00
  No, that was that was just outside my top 20.
• 1:06:04
  See, that one's interesting to me because I feel like that is
• 1:06:08
  part of the story that I didn't know going in is that I bet you
• 1:06:12
  he thought he had created some bad karma for himself.
• 1:06:16
  So. Yeah, Yep, it's a good call.
• 1:06:20
  But you know, I didn't know that going in.
• 1:06:22
  So when you said that, I was like, oh, I feel good about
• 1:06:24
  having bad karma now. Then I was I bend all right.
• 1:06:29
  So one left for you, Right, Randy?
• 1:06:32
  Mama couldn't be persuaded all. Right.
• 1:06:37
  That sounds like a one. Yeah.
• 1:06:39
  No. OK, Brian.
• 1:06:42
  Oh, you end with two unanimous, all right. 2 left Tools Blues.
• 1:06:53
  Nope, no sounds. Like OK and join me in LA.
• 1:06:59
  Yes. There we go, one last one at the
• 1:07:04
  last second. Look for one second.
• 1:07:07
  So let's find out, how many do you have left, Patrick?
• 1:07:14
  I I actually have amazingly 6 left, so I'll just I'll, I'll
• 1:07:19
  RIP right through them. She's too good for me.
• 1:07:22
  From the wind. I'll sleep when I'm dead from
• 1:07:26
  self-titled and then Baxter and looking down the path from
• 1:07:32
  self-titled detox mansion from sentimental hygiene.
• 1:07:38
  Even a dog can shake hands from sentimental hygiene.
• 1:07:41
  That was the one we got on and then one that I, I am surprised
• 1:07:46
  that there wasn't somebody else that had was Prison Grove from
• 1:07:50
  the wind. Yeah.
• 1:07:54
  Oh, I, you know what? I missed it.
• 1:07:55
  I had, I had backs looking down the path.
• 1:07:59
  So that's a two. Sorry.
• 1:08:00
  Oh. There we go, you.
• 1:08:02
  Couldn't read my own. Own Was that 19 for you or?
• 1:08:06
  What's that? You only played 19 before.
• 1:08:09
  Yeah, I played 19-II I I missed it in my list.
• 1:08:13
  All. Right.
• 1:08:15
  Better. Go take it.
• 1:08:16
  I'll take it. Yeah, another last minute, too,
• 1:08:19
  that nobody thought was going to happen.
• 1:08:21
  All right, So as Randy alluded to, only two get through
• 1:08:25
  unanimously. They are lawyers, guns and
• 1:08:28
  money. And keep me in your heart.
• 1:08:31
  It's a good start. So let's look at these threes
• 1:08:34
  and figure out if there's. Because there's enough to fill
• 1:08:37
  out the list and have to cut them anyway.
• 1:08:40
  So we've got a certain girl, Frank and Jesse James Roland,
• 1:08:45
  the Headless Thompson Gunner, Werewolves of London, Carmelita,
• 1:08:50
  Excitable Boy, Nighttime in the Switching Yard, Dirty Life and
• 1:08:55
  Times and sentimental hygiene. So when I read that down, Randy,
• 1:09:02
  if we want to even bring twos in the discussion, some of these
• 1:09:05
  are going to have to get laid down.
• 1:09:08
  Yeah. Is there one A3 that you're like
• 1:09:10
  I can't believe that got a three but it's not.
• 1:09:13
  It does not belong on this list. Yeah, kinda like I think
• 1:09:19
  sentimental hygiene is probably there.
• 1:09:21
  I think that like it's tough to fight for either night time in
• 1:09:26
  the switching yard or certain girl, even though I would love
• 1:09:29
  to. Even Frank and Jesse James feels
• 1:09:32
  a little tough to fight for at this point.
• 1:09:34
  But I think right away I'm looking at like I'm looking at
• 1:09:40
  four of these that should go in Excitable Boy, Carmelita
• 1:09:44
  Werewolves and Roland Headless Headless Thompson Gunner.
• 1:09:49
  Like those feel like locks to me.
• 1:09:52
  All right, so same question to you, Brian.
• 1:09:55
  Are are there songs that look like they could be on the way
• 1:09:58
  out to make room for twos? And which of these threes do you
• 1:10:01
  think should go in? Yeah, I, I'm looking at my list.
• 1:10:06
  So I, I write down everything. They were 4 threes that I didn't
• 1:10:09
  have. I'm not sure about Patrick, but
• 1:10:12
  I feel like me and Patrick are going to be making a lot of
• 1:10:14
  concessions. Yeah, most of it is Justin.
• 1:10:19
  Yeah, right. Because a lot of these fours
• 1:10:22
  were were spoiled because because of us.
• 1:10:26
  I mean, like I said, I'm, I'm fine with werewolves.
• 1:10:28
  I I was, maybe I was playing the, you know, I, I, I just took
• 1:10:34
  it as like there were a lot of good songs and maybe, you know,
• 1:10:38
  you know, they didn't, we didn't need this.
• 1:10:42
  But I'm fine with that one. Excited boy.
• 1:10:46
  I'm fine with. That's another kind of fun.
• 1:10:48
  Yeah, it's fun, fun one, you know, some of the fun ones,
• 1:10:53
  like, like I get like I get like a certain girl being a three.
• 1:10:58
  And I really liked it. Catchy, but you know, if we do
• 1:11:03
  some other fun ones and said like like like werewolves are
• 1:11:08
  excitable boy or rolling the headless like maybe we don't
• 1:11:12
  need that one. I.
• 1:11:17
  See, well, I'll take this because I was the other person
• 1:11:20
  on a certain girl and both of you have said that that would
• 1:11:24
  probably be one you'd be looking at to pull out of the race, so.
• 1:11:29
  I I love it, but on on, yeah, it's it's tough to like say,
• 1:11:34
  hey, this defines his sound. It's just a lot of fun.
• 1:11:38
  But yeah, there's, there's so much.
• 1:11:41
  Glad it got drawn up. Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:11:44
  Glad it got three. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:11:46
  Same with like time in the switching yard, too.
• 1:11:47
  Like I'd love to get a disco song in there, but that's not
• 1:11:51
  really his style. Yeah, right.
• 1:11:53
  So I think maybe we lay that down here too.
• 1:11:56
  OK, All right. So a certain girl and nighttime
• 1:12:01
  are respectively bowing out. 123456 threes remain.
• 1:12:10
  So at this point, 7 threes remain at this point.
• 1:12:12
  Technically we could take all the threes and still have room
• 1:12:15
  for A2 or I'm going to move this to Patrick.
• 1:12:20
  Are there some of these threes that should get laid down at
• 1:12:24
  this point? I don't think so.
• 1:12:29
  I mean, I could cause there's a few of them that I didn't pick
• 1:12:34
  foolishly that I would argue like if we want to make that
• 1:12:37
  unanimous, we can go ahead and do it.
• 1:12:41
  So I, I don't, I don't think so. There's nothing that I'm seeing
• 1:12:44
  on the threes that needs to be chopped off.
• 1:12:49
  The the only thing that I would make a case for that I feel like
• 1:12:53
  does have to try to stay is sentimental hygiene.
• 1:12:58
  OK. OK, I'm a little less about
• 1:13:01
  that. I didn't take any sentimental
• 1:13:03
  hygiene songs. Interesting SO.
• 1:13:07
  That's the other thing here, going back to a certain girl for
• 1:13:11
  a second, is that that's our only bad luck, bad luck streak
• 1:13:17
  and dancing school song. That's a three and I think
• 1:13:21
  something needs to be represented from that record for
• 1:13:23
  sure. I.
• 1:13:25
  Mean well, you could have picked Sucker.
• 1:13:26
  Really, you're a desperado and we would be all set.
• 1:13:31
  But to that point that would mean play it all night long,
• 1:13:35
  Wild age or anti handed heart. Those are the three that are
• 1:13:39
  twos. Yeah, all.
• 1:13:42
  Right, so, well, let's let's lock in whatever threes are
• 1:13:46
  going to get locked in Werewolves of London.
• 1:13:50
  Yeah. Lock, yes.
• 1:13:52
  OK. Yeah.
• 1:13:53
  Carmelita. Yeah, yes.
• 1:13:57
  OK, Roland. Yes, yeah, I would.
• 1:14:02
  I I'm embarrassed that I didn't actually pick that and make.
• 1:14:08
  All right, excitable boy. Yes.
• 1:14:14
  Yeah. So that I think takes us to four
• 1:14:18
  from Excitable Boy if we want to quit there.
• 1:14:22
  Right. And then we already laid down
• 1:14:26
  night time and let's see, is there any other threes from
• 1:14:32
  that? No, that's it for the threes
• 1:14:33
  from that one, right? Are there any twos alive from
• 1:14:39
  that one? No.
• 1:14:40
  Johnny strikes up the band. Oh, yeah, you're right.
• 1:14:44
  You right. There it is.
• 1:14:45
  So just by numbers, it's got to lay down all right.
• 1:14:52
  Totally fine with that. So what does that bring us up
• 1:14:54
  to? 7-6?
• 1:14:58
  Yeah, yeah. All right.
• 1:15:02
  I do think that there should be one more from the South title
• 1:15:06
  record and there definitely should be 1 from Bad Luck
• 1:15:08
  Streak. All right, so Frank and Jesse
• 1:15:12
  James has a three. Is that the one from
• 1:15:15
  self-titled? I don't think so, because you
• 1:15:19
  got Muhammad's radio and Desperados under the eaves that
• 1:15:22
  I think are more strong than Frank and Jesse James.
• 1:15:25
  We also have poor poor pedal for me from that record still
• 1:15:28
  hanging on to life. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 1:15:31
  Yeah. So I mean, I guess at this
• 1:15:35
  point, lay down Jesse James, right?
• 1:15:39
  And then let's make the discussion between those 3 songs
• 1:15:46
  to be the representative from that record.
• 1:15:48
  So poor, poor, pitiful me. Muhammad's radio, desperate
• 1:15:52
  desperados under the eaves. Is there one that's kind of a
• 1:15:56
  leader in the clubhouse for you, Brian?
• 1:15:58
  Of those 3? I had almost like that
• 1:16:05
  desperados under the eaves. And what the other two?
• 1:16:09
  Poor, poor, pitiful me and Muhammad's radio.
• 1:16:13
  Well, I had poor, poor beautiful me and desperado.
• 1:16:18
  I don't remember why I didn't take Muhammad, but out of those
• 1:16:27
  that probably probably pitiful me.
• 1:16:31
  OK. Would be the one I would lean
• 1:16:33
  towards more. All right, so let's get Patrick
• 1:16:36
  Dwayne in here because he didn't have any of these.
• 1:16:39
  I I would lean, I would lean towards Mohammed's.
• 1:16:43
  Oh. OK, that's kind of where I stand
• 1:16:45
  too. I think Mohammed's radio, OK,
• 1:16:47
  although I love Desperado under the Eaves as well.
• 1:16:51
  And I probably, if that would have gotten the three, I would
• 1:16:53
  have said it automatically take it.
• 1:16:55
  But I'm a I'm a bigger fan of Mohammed's radio personally.
• 1:17:01
  All right, so you said you weren't sure why you didn't pick
• 1:17:04
  Muhammad's radio. Is that enough for you to
• 1:17:06
  concede, or would you prefer to fight for Pitiful me?
• 1:17:10
  One more go, Brian. No, I would, I would put it, I
• 1:17:14
  would take it. I honestly don't recall like why
• 1:17:19
  why I put it off. OK.
• 1:17:23
  I might, I might do the thing and then regret, you know?
• 1:17:27
  It's yeah, it's never helpful. It's it never helps.
• 1:17:34
  Yeah, I know it always makes things worse.
• 1:17:36
  All. Right, so that takes us up to
• 1:17:38
  seven then and that covers 2 from Zevon or is self-titled.
• 1:17:44
  So should we tackle bad luck streak now and then get back to
• 1:17:49
  whatever's left? OK, so yeah, let's go.
• 1:17:51
  What do we have played All Night Long?
• 1:17:54
  Wild Age and Empty Handed Heart. All right.
• 1:18:00
  So same question, Randy, of those three, which one would you
• 1:18:03
  lean towards? Oh I I like Wild Age the most,
• 1:18:10
  but I think it's played all night long.
• 1:18:13
  OK. Same question, Brian, of those
• 1:18:16
  3. Again, I can't remember why I
• 1:18:29
  didn't have played all night long.
• 1:18:32
  Some of these are like, like, oh, why we don't have that guy.
• 1:18:37
  Wild age. I liked.
• 1:18:44
  I got to think about it. Hold on.
• 1:18:47
  Well, I'll, I'll move to Patrick because he actually does have
• 1:18:50
  one of these empty handed heart is on his list.
• 1:18:54
  But is that the 1 you would answer between those three?
• 1:18:57
  I I. Would I?
• 1:18:59
  Would I would stick with empty handed?
• 1:19:04
  What what are your thoughts on Empty Handed Heart Randy?
• 1:19:09
  It's like not coming up in my head the way it goes right now.
• 1:19:14
  So I, you know, if it was one of these things where like
• 1:19:18
  everybody else was saying it, I I'd trust your instinct on it,
• 1:19:21
  but I'm not. Yeah, I'm still like play it all
• 1:19:26
  night long, I think is the one. All right.
• 1:19:30
  It sounds like though that it the it's between Play it all
• 1:19:34
  Night long and Empty handed heart.
• 1:19:36
  Yeah, yeah. So let's lose Wild Age.
• 1:19:40
  And that puts it up to you, Brian.
• 1:19:42
  Play it all night long or empty handed Heart.
• 1:19:49
  I don't think I had. I didn't have either, right?
• 1:19:52
  No, I didn't have either. Because I had both.
• 1:20:01
  Oh, see, look at that. Justin, for once, yeah, swimming
• 1:20:07
  with the current. Crazy do.
• 1:20:11
  The thing? There it is 0.
• 1:20:24
  Yeah, at least thank you. I should say we should put hit
• 1:20:26
  somebody in throwing that out there so there's no dead air
• 1:20:30
  here. It's somebody.
• 1:20:37
  So they can get the same kind of gap in the tooth that Letterman
• 1:20:40
  has, right? Are you enjoying your gum?
• 1:20:49
  Actually, I think the line is yeah.
• 1:20:50
  Got any gum? Oh, yeah, this OK, yeah, I, I OK
• 1:20:57
  I, I remember this song because I almost took it because I like
• 1:21:00
  that the opening line with grandpa pissed his pants pants
• 1:21:04
  again. I mean, what a way to open a
• 1:21:10
  song. So yeah, I, I didn't quickly
• 1:21:13
  listen to both. I think I'm going to go play it
• 1:21:15
  on that. Yeah, that's, that's a really
• 1:21:18
  good call. All right.
• 1:21:20
  I mean, unless you've got like a fight here, Patrick sounds.
• 1:21:24
  Like no, no, no, no. It's good.
• 1:21:26
  That's good. All right, so Grandpa.
• 1:21:28
  Let's grab Grandpa. Again, he don't give a damn.
• 1:21:32
  Brother Billy has both guns drawn.
• 1:21:34
  He ain't been. He ain't been right since
• 1:21:36
  Vietnam. Sweet Home album.
• 1:21:39
  Yeah. This is a good song.
• 1:21:40
  Yeah, that's good. All right, so we're up to #8 we
• 1:21:47
  have two spots left. Are we just, are we still
• 1:21:52
  looking at representation? Somebody.
• 1:21:57
  I mean we're looking at is dirty Life and Times done for
• 1:22:01
  sentimental hygiene. Nothing from it is gotten in.
• 1:22:05
  It's still hanging around with a three.
• 1:22:06
  We didn't lay it down yet. Are we just?
• 1:22:09
  I wouldn't mind dirty Life and Times being in, but I think I
• 1:22:13
  want to get hit somebody approved before I make another
• 1:22:17
  decision. Yeah, like I'm look, you know
• 1:22:20
  where I where I stand on the hockey song.
• 1:22:23
  So right. Well let me ask you Brian, is it
• 1:22:28
  are we dipping from the twos or is either dirty Life and Times
• 1:22:33
  sentimental hygiene in? I mean, I wasn't they got to hit
• 1:22:40
  somebody, but it what, when I when I heard it, I thought of
• 1:22:44
  that. What's that TV show?
• 1:22:47
  It's a Hulu TV show. It's.
• 1:22:49
  Letterkenny. Yeah.
• 1:22:52
  Well, probably Letterkenny. Slash torzy, Yeah.
• 1:22:55
  Letterkenny. Letterkenny.
• 1:22:56
  Yeah, that's what I thought of when I, when I heard that song,
• 1:23:00
  I thought of Letterkenny, which was a very good show, checking
• 1:23:05
  out if you're into hot. Between those, we didn't have
• 1:23:12
  anything else. Right.
• 1:23:16
  Allegedly. Or the envoy period so.
• 1:23:23
  Yeah. So it really just kind of
• 1:23:25
  depends on. Yeah, it doesn't matter then,
• 1:23:27
  all right. I mean, part of me is saying
• 1:23:30
  that we should take one of the threes.
• 1:23:36
  Probably dirty Life and Times. Well, let's let Patrick weigh in
• 1:23:42
  because he actually has both of these threes it it's a rarity on
• 1:23:45
  this episode. It is.
• 1:23:48
  It is. So the the two threes that are
• 1:23:50
  alive or dirty, life and time, sentimental hygiene?
• 1:23:54
  Is this a one or the other or do you think both of those need to
• 1:23:58
  round out the list? Yeah, I kind of do.
• 1:24:03
  I get the I get the sort of gravity towards hit somebody,
• 1:24:10
  but I, I, I couldn't possibly find myself taking it over dirty
• 1:24:17
  Life and Times and sentimental hygiene.
• 1:24:19
  I just it though I I I guess the only argument you could make is
• 1:24:26
  that the wind is already on the list, but.
• 1:24:34
  Yeah. And it's actually one of the
• 1:24:35
  unanimous the the only two that we got so.
• 1:24:39
  So I sentimental hygiene has to be on that one has to be on.
• 1:24:48
  So if we're if we're going to make the switch, it would be
• 1:24:52
  swapping out dirty Life and Times for hit somebody.
• 1:24:55
  All right. So if Patrick is willing to make
• 1:24:58
  that concession, are you willing to make that concession, Randy?
• 1:25:02
  Yeah, I, I would, I would prefer to to be the other way around,
• 1:25:06
  but I get what he's saying and to get hit somebody on, I would
• 1:25:12
  definitely make that concession, yes.
• 1:25:14
  All right, so those two have agreed upon it.
• 1:25:17
  Brian, are you willing to rubber stamp that?
• 1:25:21
  Yeah, hit it. All right, let's grab
• 1:25:24
  sentimental hygiene and then I will hit somebody with hit
• 1:25:27
  somebody. I can't believe that.
• 1:25:33
  How Zevon is that? That feels very easy, though.
• 1:25:38
  All right, boom, we got our ten lawyers, guns and money.
• 1:25:41
  Keep me in your heart rolling. The hitlest Thompson gunner
• 1:25:44
  Werewolves of London, Carmelita, Excitable boy Mohammed's radio
• 1:25:47
  play it all night long, Sentimental hygiene and hit
• 1:25:50
  somebody. The hockey song Randy when I
• 1:25:52
  read those 10 down to you. Which one is the one?
• 1:25:57
  Usually in episodes like this, I'm pretty clear to say that we
• 1:26:04
  didn't get a lot of unanimous and because we only got 2
• 1:26:10
  unanimous, I might be changing my mind here.
• 1:26:15
  I, I think wow, I didn't, I, I originally thought that it was
• 1:26:20
  going to be lawyers, guns and money.
• 1:26:21
  But I think that there is a really, really good argument for
• 1:26:25
  Keep Me in your Heart. And maybe it doesn't define his
• 1:26:30
  old whole like quality of work, but it like songwriting wise, it
• 1:26:36
  does sound wise, maybe not, but songwriting wise.
• 1:26:39
  And that's I'd rather pitch that then the the other, if you know
• 1:26:49
  what I mean. So I'm I'm actually doing a left
• 1:26:52
  turn for myself and I think it's between the two, but I think
• 1:26:58
  it's I'm going to go with Keep Me in Your heart.
• 1:27:01
  I like it. What do you think, Brian?
• 1:27:05
  Yeah, I usually. Like for the number one to be
• 1:27:09
  one of the unanimous picks, Obviously when, like, you know,
• 1:27:14
  when, when, when there's only two.
• 1:27:16
  It's tough. But I mean, I I can't come up
• 1:27:21
  with much of an argument against Keep me in your heart.
• 1:27:25
  Is it keep me in your heart, Patrick, or is it something
• 1:27:28
  else? It's.
• 1:27:31
  Hard for me to walk. Away from a unanimous song off
• 1:27:36
  of Excitable Boy and Lawyers, Guns and Money might be the Best
• 1:27:44
  Song because it was my #1 I'm, I'm struggling.
• 1:27:51
  I'm struggling only because I, I feel like that.
• 1:27:56
  That is his sound. But but as I said earlier, Keep
• 1:28:02
  Me In Your Heart might be one of the best songs ever written.
• 1:28:06
  So the devil on one shoulder and the Angel on the other.
• 1:28:13
  And they're both devils 'cause we're talking about Warren, who
• 1:28:21
  is an absolute Angel. At the same time, I, I can see
• 1:28:24
  the argument for Keep Me in Your Heart.
• 1:28:26
  Like I'm, I'm, I'm not going to be, I, I, I can't create a wall
• 1:28:30
  on this. Like it.
• 1:28:31
  It's hard for me to wrap my head around that that one of his
• 1:28:35
  number one songs isn't off of Excitable Boy, but I also get
• 1:28:43
  going in the direction of Keep Me In Your Heart.
• 1:28:47
  I mean. How's that for an unequivocal
• 1:28:49
  answer? That is as unequivocal as you
• 1:28:53
  can get. Totally.
• 1:28:54
  But look, the The thing is kind of going back to why Brian
• 1:29:01
  didn't have Werewolves of London, right?
• 1:29:03
  Like if you hear lawyers, guns and money, not that it's exactly
• 1:29:07
  like Werewolves of London, but it is his sound and his sound
• 1:29:10
  didn't do it for me like initially.
• 1:29:13
  Like I never dug in when I heard Werewolves of London.
• 1:29:16
  I can appreciate it now. I enjoy it now.
• 1:29:18
  I can get it now. I think there's a a better
• 1:29:22
  chance we hook somebody going, hey, you know, Warren Zevon,
• 1:29:26
  hey, you know, where was London? Hey, you know, lawyers, guns and
• 1:29:28
  money. Here's this and listen to this.
• 1:29:31
  And maybe we make somebody cry and maybe we, you know, like
• 1:29:35
  they kind of go, oh, you know, there is something else there
• 1:29:40
  that isn't just going, oh, where was London?
• 1:29:43
  So, you know, I mean, they're both on the list.
• 1:29:49
  It is it, it's very clear that it's to me it it is easily one
• 1:29:54
  of those two. Like I don't, I don't think
• 1:29:56
  there's any more than that. But I lean, I lean towards keep
• 1:29:58
  me in your heart. Let any who oppose the speak
• 1:30:02
  now. You know, I, I wonder if I would
• 1:30:06
  have just said lawyers, guns and money would everybody had just
• 1:30:09
  agreed. No, I that really, I was always
• 1:30:13
  going those two and you know, maybe I wouldn't have been as
• 1:30:19
  wordy with my response if you didn't say what you said about
• 1:30:26
  keep me in your heart. I may not have been as wordy
• 1:30:28
  about it, but those two were always the ones I was going to
• 1:30:30
  be putting up once we got there. So I definitely think it's one
• 1:30:35
  of those two. And like I said, I I definitely
• 1:30:37
  lean towards keep me in your heart.
• 1:30:40
  I think that's kind of like so. So, Brian, were were you towards
• 1:30:47
  keep me in your heart too? Yeah.
• 1:30:51
  All right. Yeah.
• 1:30:52
  OK, let's do that. I think that's what we got to
• 1:30:55
  do, yeah. Yeah, All right, All right.
• 1:30:57
  Boom. Let's do that.
• 1:30:59
  Boom. How many times has an artist's
• 1:31:01
  final song been the number one song?
• 1:31:05
  This is probably the first. Maybe possibly.
• 1:31:08
  I mean, it's definitely the first time it's been noted that
• 1:31:12
  that was the case. So I mean, you can't quote me on
• 1:31:16
  that because I honestly don't know.
• 1:31:20
  Right. Yeah, How do you have a
• 1:31:21
  statistic for? That please feel free to correct
• 1:31:25
  me if I'm wrong. Well, well, I'm going to pose
• 1:31:28
  that in the threat in the in the discord for, for AQ and a, so I
• 1:31:35
  don't have to do the deep dive and go through every episode and
• 1:31:38
  look for it. You can ask Otto.
• 1:31:40
  Otto's actually doing a deep dive right now.
• 1:31:42
  Ask Otto. He might know.
• 1:31:44
  So. Oh, man.
• 1:31:46
  All right, let's get this queued up.
• 1:31:48
  I'll read down our list and we'll get on out of here.
• 1:31:52
  Keep Me in Your Heart is going to be our number one lawyers.
• 1:31:55
  Guns and Money Rolling The Headless Thompson Gunner.
• 1:31:57
  Werewolves of London. Carmelita.
• 1:31:58
  Excitable Boy. Muhammad's radio played all
• 1:32:00
  night long. Sentimental Hygiene.
• 1:32:02
  Hit Somebody. The hockey song.
• 1:32:04
  I had all ten of these songs. That's like a first.
• 1:32:09
  That is a first and I mean, you know, maybe turn style like
• 1:32:14
  there's there's been a couple. Raging machine?
• 1:32:16
  Probably, yeah. And this, these, all ten of
• 1:32:19
  these were brought up by listeners as well.
• 1:32:21
  It's worth noting. So boom, we did it.
• 1:32:25
  Hopefully we've turned you on to Warren Zevon, but let's try a
• 1:32:30
  little harder. I'm going to let keep me in your
• 1:32:32
  heart. Get a moment in the sun because
• 1:32:34
  I did it wrong. Keep me in your heart.
• 1:32:44
  Keep this pod in your heart. We're a podcast.
• 1:32:48
  It feels really shameless to do that on the backs of that, but
• 1:32:52
  what else do we do here? It's a pod.
• 1:32:54
  I got to tell somebody to listen to the show.
• 1:32:55
  Don't ipatreon.com special hi, Justin's a great place to go.
• 1:33:00
  Dollar a month gets you in the door right now.
• 1:33:02
  That gets you the after the fact conversation we're about to
• 1:33:05
  have. It gets you deprogrammed before
• 1:33:06
  the rest of the world. It also gets you access to the
• 1:33:08
  online radio station that I started.
• 1:33:11
  There's not much on it right now.
• 1:33:13
  I think it's like 24 songs kind of in a constant rotation.
• 1:33:16
  But I'm I'm slowly building that list and once it gets bigger,
• 1:33:21
  we'll put it out to the public. It's almost all local except for
• 1:33:25
  XA86 from Atlanta, GA, which is John F's band, his old band.
• 1:33:30
  And my band is of course from here.
• 1:33:33
  So I'm playing my song. God why wouldn't I?
• 1:33:36
  But everything else is also local to this area.
• 1:33:39
  If you're in a band, hit me up. We can add your stuff to the
• 1:33:41
  station. Just saying.
• 1:33:43
  But all that's behind the Patreon paywall.
• 1:33:46
  A dollar a month gets you that. It also gets you access to
• 1:33:49
  certain channels in our discord it they'd lead you to stupid
• 1:33:53
  discord where we are also doing it.
• 1:33:56
  We're growing a tree. We're counting there's music
• 1:33:59
  leagues going on. You can also get in on if you
• 1:34:02
  want to be on the show, like if there's an artist you want to
• 1:34:05
  talk about, there's finding panelists go into there, say
• 1:34:09
  this is a band I want to talk about and somebody will go I
• 1:34:12
  would like to talk about this band with you.
• 1:34:13
  That's how a lot of these things happen.
• 1:34:15
  So jump on in there, figure that out and we will get you on the
• 1:34:18
  show. Boom.
• 1:34:20
  And if you bump up to the $5 level, it also gets you access
• 1:34:24
  to a couple like secret channels that are it's, it's not much,
• 1:34:27
  but it's like discussions about, you know, hey, here's an
• 1:34:31
  Undercutter song. What do you guys think of this?
• 1:34:33
  Or hey, here's an idea I have for an online radio station that
• 1:34:37
  I just did or things like that happen there.
• 1:34:41
  So that's all the Patreon stuff, podcast, subscribe, rate,
• 1:34:44
  comment, all that is super helpful.
• 1:34:46
  But to me, the best way you can help is by telling somebody that
• 1:34:48
  you listen to the show. Hey, I listen to you program and
• 1:34:52
  you should too. With that Warrens, Yvonne
• 1:34:54
  Burnham and love people. See you next week.
• 1:34:56
  Goodbye.
