2:31
SPEAKER_00: I've never heard of it.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what it's about.

2:50
SPEAKER_04: And I've seen the title just because I've gone by the theater.
2:52
SPEAKER_04: Yep.
2:52
SPEAKER_04: But I have no idea what it is.
2:54
SPEAKER_00: So it's based on a book, based on a children's book.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:57
SPEAKER_00: Um a I I I probably won't be giving anything away if I the the the premise of the story is that there's this uh um um entertainer in New York who is trying to make a name for himself and he's like uh he does he he's like um down on his luck and try is trying to make it big.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: That's all he wants to do is make it big.
3:19
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, he's he gets rejected for the last time and goes into this pet store and he hears this singing.
3:26
SPEAKER_00: And over in the corner, uh in a cage is this like baby crocodile, and the baby crocodile is singing.
3:34
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
3:35
SPEAKER_00: So he buys the baby crocodile and raises him and leaves him and he leaves him in the attic of this building and uh to go and and cause because he wanted uh to show everybody that Lyle, this crocodile can sing, so he made this big production, um Um lost all this money, said you know you know, uh promoter, you can have all of my uh possessions if you give us this show.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: So he did.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: He he wheeled away his possessions to this promoter.
4:04
SPEAKER_00: The promoter promoted the show, they had a huge crowd, and Lyle wouldn't sing.
4:09
SPEAKER_00: So he was a fraud.
4:10
SPEAKER_00: So he leaves Lyle in the attic of this house.
4:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:15
SPEAKER_00: And then this family moves in and they discover Lyle.
4:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh this giant by now, crocodile, uh, who sings, and he uh what's worse is um also don't ever see this movie.
4:30
SPEAKER_00: Um is he has Sean Mendez's voice, which is not only annoying, Sean Mendez can sing.

5:43
SPEAKER_00: You know, I'm not gonna tell you what happens, but it's very predictable.

SPEAKER_04: Why would you leave a crocodile in an attic?
7:25
SPEAKER_00: It's well, that was the unbelievable part.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: Uh well, I mean, there were several unbelievable parts, especially when the crocodile starts doing this number with the mother after she finds him.

7:42
SPEAKER_00: And it's I mean, it's just um you have to suspend belief, obviously.
7:47
SPEAKER_00: But Sean Mendez is a good pop singer, but his voice coming out of this this uh crocodile was was grating on the nerves.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: It was and I mean no disrespect to Sean Mendez, I don't really care.
8:00
SPEAKER_00: But but I I you know Yeah, because he's gonna hear this.

8:29

8:32

8:45
SPEAKER_04: I doubt it.
8:46
SPEAKER_00: Right.
8:47
SPEAKER_00: Um here's what here's what I'm getting at.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: So uh you can get an album at Walmart, like a new album or even an old album, yeah.
8:56
SPEAKER_00: Anywhere from$23,$24, to$34.
9:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:02
SPEAKER_00: You know, that's probably like a$34 would probably be a double album.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:05
SPEAKER_00: Right?
9:06
SPEAKER_00: So two two pieces of vinyl in one package.
9:09
SPEAKER_00: Um and I think$34 is probably$34, maybe$40.
9:16
SPEAKER_00: I think maybe I've seen a$40 one, but I don't think so.
9:19
SPEAKER_00: Around$34 is probably the highest I've seen.
9:21
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it's usually like a special edition or it's like a double LP.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: Right.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: The cheapest I've seen is like maybe$19.
9:29
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: And that's for a single album.
9:32
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
9:33
SPEAKER_00: Um when we were kids, they weren't that expensive, I don't think.
9:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't remember them being this.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: Although a cassette was was about fifteen dollars, right?
9:45
SPEAKER_00: Wasn't it?
9:46
SPEAKER_00: Or is it like ten dollars?
9:47
SPEAKER_04: I thought it was like around nine dollars, nine, ten dollars.
9:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay, maybe a CD.
9:51
SPEAKER_04: It's like nine ninety nine.
9:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, CDs were like fifteen.
9:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay, maybe that's what I'm thinking of.
9:55
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
9:55
SPEAKER_04: Okay, so because and they came in those those big long plastic things where you had to open that.
9:59
SPEAKER_04: Right.
9:59
SPEAKER_04: You had to open up the plastic, and it was like you know, you need you needed basically C4 to open up with a C D.
10:04
SPEAKER_00: Right.
10:05
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I picked up a triple album today.
10:08
SPEAKER_00: No, not today, sometime uh it was like earlier earlier this week.
10:11
SPEAKER_00: Triple album.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: LP?
10:13
SPEAKER_00: LP.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
10:14
SPEAKER_00: Um how much do you think it was?
10:18
SPEAKER_04: Probably around fifty.
10:19
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: So this is where my question comes in, because I know this artist has a thing about prices and keeping prices low.
10:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: So I kind of bought it just because I don't have anything from this artist on vinyl.
10:37
SPEAKER_00: Um this is Garth Brooks live at Yankee Stadium.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: Oh wow.
10:45
SPEAKER_00: Look at the the I mean, this is pretty impressive.
10:48
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it is impressive.
10:49
SPEAKER_00: The f the sleeve, right?
10:51
SPEAKER_00: There's three albums.
10:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
10:53
SPEAKER_00: Okay, three three vinyl albums.
10:56
SPEAKER_00: And um it's live.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: I paid$15 for this.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: Really?
11:04
SPEAKER_00: It's brand new.
11:05
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
11:06
SPEAKER_00: And I guarantee you it's because Garth Brooks said Don't charge more than Don't charge more than$15 for this.
11:13
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: Good on Garth Brooks, man.
11:16
SPEAKER_00: So I guess my question is how does he get away with that?
11:19
SPEAKER_00: A, he doesn't need the money.
11:21
SPEAKER_00: No.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: Does he think he'll sell more?
11:23
SPEAKER_00: Probably.
11:24
SPEAKER_00: Probably.
11:25
SPEAKER_00: Um But A, he just understands people.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Right.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: Especially, I'm sorry.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: He's a man of the people, especially people at Walmart.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: Right.
11:32
SPEAKER_00: Right?
11:33
SPEAKER_00: Because I mean, honestly, I shop at Walmart because it's there, and you know, it's but twenty-four dollars for an album is a lot.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: You know?
11:43
SPEAKER_00: So it's it's but fifteen dollars for three.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: There's three albums in here.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: Um, so I I haven't even looked at three bucks uh five bucks an album.
11:52
SPEAKER_04: Right.
11:52
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
11:53
SPEAKER_00: Right.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: And and and I and he has always been about I know like when he had um his books and even some of his reissue albums.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:04
SPEAKER_00: He's a marketing genius.
12:05
SPEAKER_00: Well, didn't he get a degree in marketing?
12:07
SPEAKER_00: He went to his school for marketing.
12:09
SPEAKER_00: Um and I just thought it was very interesting how Garth Brooks, the one of the biggest country singers, if not the biggest country singer in the world, right?
12:21
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: Puts out a triple vinyl album, which you would think would be fifty dollars.
12:27
SPEAKER_04: Oh, I would I would have thought of that, yeah.
12:29
SPEAKER_00: But it's fifteen dollars.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
12:31
SPEAKER_04: I just thought that was you know, well, I mean I think I think that's I don't know if it's so much it's probably a marketing thing, but I mean, economically it makes sense because if you if you I mean, I don't know how much m it I don't know how much it costs to may have an album made.
12:47
SPEAKER_01: Right.
12:49
SPEAKER_04: But if you sell it at a lower price, more people are gonna buy it.
12:53
SPEAKER_00: Well, here's that's the thing.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
12:54
SPEAKER_04: And therefore you're gonna make more money.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna make more money, or you're going to be you're going to go down in history for selling the most number of albums.
13:06
SPEAKER_04: Either that.
13:07
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
13:08
SPEAKER_04: I don't know about a live album, but you know.
13:09
SPEAKER_00: I mean, is he is he gonna be?
13:11
SPEAKER_04: But I wonder but I wonder how much like a the same thing is on CD.

SPEAKER_00: I would imagine it is.
13:17
SPEAKER_00: Is it the same price?

27:43
SPEAKER_00: What are we at?
27:44
SPEAKER_00: 27.
27:44
SPEAKER_00: Do we want to do uh the Charlie Watts thing that we've been talking about for whatever?
27:48
SPEAKER_04: Let's get it off the docket.
27:51
SPEAKER_04: Because we've three weeks or something like that.
27:53
SPEAKER_04: You're right though.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: The title of the article is the best part.
27:56
SPEAKER_00: Um and I don't want to paraphrase it.
27:59
SPEAKER_00: I'll just wait and for you to get it because it was uh Yeah.
28:02
SPEAKER_04: This is this is from uh I LoveClassicrock.com.
28:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
28:07
SPEAKER_04: Uh the ten Rolling Stone songs that made that Charlie Watts made better.
28:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm interested.
28:13
SPEAKER_00: I'm interested to hear this.
28:14
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
28:15
SPEAKER_04: Songs uh the sounds blah blah blah.
28:18
SPEAKER_04: So get that.
28:20
SPEAKER_04: Okay, it's it apparently doesn't have it in any like numerical order.
28:23
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
28:24
SPEAKER_04: Uh the first one they mentioned is Get Off My Cloud, 1965.
28:28
SPEAKER_04: Hey, hey, you, you, get off of my cloud.
28:32
SPEAKER_00: You know that song.
28:32
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
28:33
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
28:34
SPEAKER_00: How didn't how did he make it better?
28:36
SPEAKER_00: Well, uh I'm going to tell you.
28:37
SPEAKER_00: Oh, thank you.
28:38
SPEAKER_04: Uh the drums became the center of attention as soon as the music starts.
28:41
SPEAKER_04: By then, the effectiveness of the song can be attributed to the fact that its 4-4 pattern remains unchanged throughout its entirety.
28:49
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
28:51
SPEAKER_00: It's one of those deep articles.
28:53
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, it was very, very hard.
28:55
SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, wait, wait.
28:56
SPEAKER_00: Let me uh while you're doing those, uh let me uh get up some stones here.
29:02
SPEAKER_00: So, alright, go ahead.
29:04
SPEAKER_04: I can't get no satisfaction.
29:06
SPEAKER_04: Also 1965.
29:08
SPEAKER_04: Song's beat became standard thanks to its massive popularity that catapulted the stones to rocket heights of fame.
29:16
SPEAKER_04: Charlie Watts made sure that everyone would be hooked on the song's entire structure.
29:21
SPEAKER_00: Is this was this article written by Beck Feiner by chance?
29:24
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
29:25
SPEAKER_00: Let me check here.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: So is it just because he's doing a continuous uh snare?
29:35
SPEAKER_04: I guess.
29:36
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
29:37
SPEAKER_04: It doesn't have anybody who wrote it.
29:40
SPEAKER_04: Maybe they maybe maybe a bot wrote this.
29:44
SPEAKER_04: Um Sympathy for the Devil.
29:47
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes.
29:49
SPEAKER_04: Uh we had a go at loads of different ways of playing it, Watts said about the song.
29:54
SPEAKER_04: In the end, I just played a jazz Latin feel.
29:57
SPEAKER_04: The Stones are extremely lucky to have this kind of talented drummer to lead them to lead them the way.
30:02
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
30:03
SPEAKER_04: But it's gotta be a bot that's a lot.
30:04
SPEAKER_00: It's gotta be a bot that would rub that rope.
30:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
30:08
SPEAKER_04: But that is a cool rhythm.
30:09
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
30:15
SPEAKER_04: Gimme shelter.
30:16
SPEAKER_04: Oh.
30:16
SPEAKER_04: Inside the song, Gimme Shelter, Watts comes in with a bang.
30:20
SPEAKER_04: While the song itself is eerily beautiful, Watts brings it to life with each rhythmic pulse.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Hold on, I'm I'm looking for it here.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: I know I have it.
30:31
SPEAKER_00: There it is, right there.
30:38
SPEAKER_00: We do this song.
30:39
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we do.
30:40
SPEAKER_00: Actually.
30:41
SPEAKER_04: I I actually love when we do this song.
30:43
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
30:43
SPEAKER_04: Because it is so much fun.
30:44
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't fit us.
30:45
SPEAKER_00: No.
30:46
SPEAKER_00: But it's uh we don't care.
30:47
SPEAKER_00: It's fun.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: I don't care.
30:48
SPEAKER_04: I mean, I love playing it.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: Because you uh have a Motown band singing this song, it's just not.
30:53
SPEAKER_04: And Joel just kills it on the vocals.
30:55
SPEAKER_04: Well, and Missy too.
30:56
SPEAKER_04: And Missy, too.
30:56
SPEAKER_00: I mean they just kill it.
30:57
SPEAKER_00: I agree.
30:58
SPEAKER_00: Okay, what's next?
31:00
SPEAKER_04: Um Monkey Man.
31:02
SPEAKER_04: I don't think I have that one.
31:03
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
31:03
SPEAKER_04: I never heard the song.
31:05
SPEAKER_00: I I've heard it, but I've got it.
31:06
SPEAKER_04: Watts' rumbles are incredibly impactful amidst the song's tinkling keyboards and persistent bass thumps.
31:12
SPEAKER_00: These writers are just weird.
31:14
SPEAKER_04: Terrible.
31:14
SPEAKER_04: If you can't rock me, 1974.
31:17
SPEAKER_04: I don't have that one either.
31:18
SPEAKER_04: You could hear oh so clearly the booming drums, drums for this song.
31:22
SPEAKER_04: Charlie Watts gave the banger for this gem, no doubt.
31:26
SPEAKER_04: Who the frig wrote this?
31:29
SPEAKER_00: I swear it's Beck Finer.
31:31
SPEAKER_04: Beck!
31:32
SPEAKER_00: Stop it!
31:35
SPEAKER_04: Uh Honky Tonk Women, 1978.
31:38
SPEAKER_04: Watts drumming is at its finest on the instantly famous Honky Tonk Women, which surprisingly has a cowbell lick at its beginning.
31:48
SPEAKER_04: Watch drums the whole tune, a jangly beat on his own.
31:52
SPEAKER_04: No.
31:55
SPEAKER_04: Man.
31:56
SPEAKER_00: He's a drummer, that's what they do.
31:59
SPEAKER_04: He plays through the whole song.
32:01
SPEAKER_04: Really?
32:03
SPEAKER_04: When do drummers do that?
32:05
SPEAKER_04: Jeez.
32:07
SPEAKER_04: This is the stupid.
32:08
SPEAKER_04: I should have read this before, I guess.
32:10
SPEAKER_00: We've been waiting to do this for the first time.
32:12
SPEAKER_00: I know every week.
32:13
SPEAKER_04: You know, it's like it's like Lyle the Crocodile.
32:16
SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's terrible.
32:19
SPEAKER_04: Uh Miss You, 1978.
32:21
SPEAKER_04: This beat-driven song, drums and bass appear to parade together.
32:28
SPEAKER_04: That familiar four to the floor beat can't can be heard throughout Miss You.
32:32
SPEAKER_04: A song Watts has stated was inspired by his time spent at Discos.
32:37
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
32:37
SPEAKER_04: I can actually see that.
32:38
SPEAKER_04: I can it's got that disco-like beat tone.
32:41
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
32:51
SPEAKER_04: Well, uh, Undercover of the Night.
32:53
SPEAKER_04: Oh, good song.
32:54
SPEAKER_04: 1983.
32:56
SPEAKER_04: When it came to the 80s trend of using electronic drums and gated snares that sounded commercial, Watts looked unfazed.
33:04
SPEAKER_04: For this song, he was accompanied by four other percussionists.
33:08
SPEAKER_04: Although he was still the focal point of the arrangement.
33:10
SPEAKER_04: That's interesting.
33:15
SPEAKER_00: You can tell it's 80s.
33:27
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I get it.
33:29
SPEAKER_04: Uh Moon is Up, 1994.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: I don't think I have that one.
33:32
SPEAKER_04: Sounding full, warm, and brilliant with every drum beat.
33:36
SPEAKER_04: Watts masterful drumming shines through on Moon Is Up, which features a more subdued sound and sparse accompaniment.
33:45
SPEAKER_04: And that is it.
33:46
SPEAKER_00: That is it.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: Alright.
33:48
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
33:49
SPEAKER_00: Um I don't know.
33:51
SPEAKER_04: Was that article worth the wait?
33:53
SPEAKER_04: No.
33:54
SPEAKER_04: Absolutely not.

44:53
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
44:54
SPEAKER_04: Apparently, like years ago, he like met this guy at the airport and he had his autistic son with him.
44:58
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
44:59
SPEAKER_04: And his autistic son just went up and started talking to Andre 3000 about uh German shepherds or dog some sort of dog.
45:07
SPEAKER_01: Right.
45:08
SPEAKER_04: And so you know he he you know he talked with the kid for like 20 minutes about dogs.
45:12
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
45:13
SPEAKER_04: And then he got for so for whatever reason they exchanged numbers, and then like five or six years later, Andre sends this random text message, Hey, I still remember that day I talked to your son about dogs.
45:23
SPEAKER_04: I hope he's doing well, I hope you're all doing well.
45:25
SPEAKER_04: Wow.
45:26
SPEAKER_04: So I thought that was pretty cool.
45:27
SPEAKER_04: That is cool.
45:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so yeah, that is cool.
45:29
SPEAKER_00: Um one thing about Charlie Watts, and we were talking about Charlie Watts earlier.
45:33
SPEAKER_00: Right.
45:33
SPEAKER_00: Um did you ever notice, and I know he's a jazz drummer.
45:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:36
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: One thing I've always noticed about Charlie Watts is that when he hits the snare, he doesn't play the hi-hat.
45:43
SPEAKER_00: He doesn't play the hi-hat.
45:44
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
45:44
SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
45:45
SPEAKER_00: No idea.
45:45
SPEAKER_00: Is it it's not that it's he can't, right?
45:48
SPEAKER_04: Oh, he totally could.
45:50
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, he always did that, yeah.
45:52
SPEAKER_00: That was interesting to me.
45:53
SPEAKER_04: Must be just his uh style.
45:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I guess.
45:56
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
45:56
SPEAKER_04: But he always played traditional grip, too.
45:59
SPEAKER_00: So right, yeah, right.
46:00
SPEAKER_00: Jazz grip.
46:01
SPEAKER_00: Um and when uh for rock and roll, when you're playing like that, that's he's gotta be hitting him fairly hard, right?
46:06
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, I would say so.
46:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
46:08
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, uh not to go back to what we were doing.
46:11
SPEAKER_00: No, we will.
46:11
SPEAKER_00: I do have an album.
46:13
SPEAKER_00: So you're ready.
46:14

46:19
SPEAKER_04: Solo.
46:20
SPEAKER_04: Solo, okay.
46:21
SPEAKER_00: I think we've probably done this artist before, but I don't think we've done this album.
46:25
SPEAKER_04: Okay.
46:26
SPEAKER_04: Um Man or a Woman?
46:27
SPEAKER_00: Man.

46:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
46:45
SPEAKER_00: He has been popular in um the 60s, 70s, um 80s he was popular, but not as popular.
46:55
SPEAKER_00: Um but the 90s uh he was really popular.
47:00
SPEAKER_00: I mean he was really popular in the 60s and 70s and the 90s.
47:04
SPEAKER_00: He's still very popular, but I mean those were his I would say because he won a lot of awards in the 90s.
47:11
SPEAKER_00: So not that that means, but I mean his popularity was pretty high.
47:19
SPEAKER_04: Was he in a band when he won the awards?
47:22
SPEAKER_04: Well, just any time.
47:23
SPEAKER_00: He's been in several bands.
47:24
SPEAKER_04: Several bands.

47:46
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
47:47
SPEAKER_00: Four.
47:48

47:50
SPEAKER_04: Is it Ozzy?
47:51
SPEAKER_00: Nope.
47:53
SPEAKER_00: I hope I'm not missing the band.
47:55
SPEAKER_00: I don't think I am.
48:04
SPEAKER_00: Uh he's always had one foot in the blues.
48:10
SPEAKER_00: Um about rock.
48:14
SPEAKER_04: Is it higher?
48:20
SPEAKER_00: I would even say, especially in the nineties, you might you might say pop rock.
48:26
SPEAKER_00: But no, certain songs that he's put out have been pop songs.
48:40
SPEAKER_00: Um known for guitar playing.
48:45
SPEAKER_03: Okay.
48:57
SPEAKER_04: It's like which is your favorite breath of everything?
48:59
SPEAKER_00: Uh some people, especially in the 60s.
49:02
SPEAKER_00: Call him a space cowboy.
49:04
SPEAKER_00: No, but they did call him something, and it was religious.
49:09
SPEAKER_00: It's clapped in.
49:11
SPEAKER_01: It's clapped in this.
49:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's clapped.
49:14
SPEAKER_00: Because he wore the whole clapped in his god thing.
49:16
SPEAKER_00: Actually, he resisted it, but everybody, you know, they paid it.
49:19
SPEAKER_00: So this is the album, Reptile.
49:22
SPEAKER_04: I don't think I'm familiar with it.
49:23
SPEAKER_00: Are you familiar with Reptile?
49:24
SPEAKER_00: I don't think so.
49:25
SPEAKER_00: Uh well, this is kind of cool.
49:26
SPEAKER_00: I'm glad that I I found it and pulled it down.
49:29
SPEAKER_00: Um, I think that you will recognize, let's see, on this album, um you might recognize one.
49:41
SPEAKER_00: Uh two possibly two songs.
49:46
SPEAKER_00: It was not one of his um bigger albums.
49:52
SPEAKER_00: Um Are you just ignoring me now?
49:54
SPEAKER_00: Or you're seeing if we've done it.
49:55
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I was like, uh Yeah, we have.
50:01
SPEAKER_00: We've done Clapton.
50:02
SPEAKER_04: We've done Clapton.
50:02
SPEAKER_04: Well, I don't recognize that album.
50:04
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
50:05
SPEAKER_04: I forgot to put in uh last week because I couldn't see anything.
50:09
SPEAKER_00: Right.
50:09
SPEAKER_04: Uh I forgot to put in ZZ Top.
50:12
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yes, we did do ZZ Top last week.
50:13
SPEAKER_00: There we go.
50:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we're up to date now.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: So here's uh this was a uh single.
50:22
SPEAKER_00: And you know um Clapton, well let's do the four bands that I said.
50:29
SPEAKER_00: So there was uh Yardbirds, Yardbirds, Cream, Cream, Blind Faith, Derek and the Domino's, Derek and the Dominos, yeah.
50:34
SPEAKER_00: And then he went solo.
50:35
SPEAKER_00: Yes, pretty much, right?
50:36
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
50:36
SPEAKER_00: Um Eddie Van Halen always said that Clapton, when he was in Cream, was his favorite guitar player and just favorite sound and favorite era.
50:47
SPEAKER_00: And he always said that he he didn't care for Clapton like in his later years.
50:54
SPEAKER_00: And I I still love Clapton, um, but yeah, he has mellowed quite a bit.
50:59
SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah, you know, um well, slow hand is slowed down, yeah, for sure.
51:04
SPEAKER_00: So for sure.
51:06
SPEAKER_00: So this was one, and then this one Believe in Life.
51:12
SPEAKER_00: Again, not very high ranking uh on the charts or even in popularity, but this was a single from this album.
51:22
SPEAKER_00: Um then see he's making this solo album, so he doesn't have to sing right away.
51:34
SPEAKER_00: He can just play guitar.
51:35
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
51:37
SPEAKER_02: When the world seems a light at the beginning of the day.
51:43
SPEAKER_00: But this sounds like late era Clapton.
51:47
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
51:49
SPEAKER_00: So when I say he was I thought he he peaked in the 90s, it's when he released that unplugged album.
51:54
SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
51:54
SPEAKER_00: Uh and Tears in Heaven.
51:56
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he won all those awards, almost Grammy Awards for Tears in Heaven and Layla, the you know, the right.
52:04
SPEAKER_00: And so his popularity was through the roof.
52:06
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah as far as I'm concerned.
52:07
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
52:07
SPEAKER_00: And then he came back with Babyface and changed the world.
52:10
SPEAKER_00: Remember that song?
52:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
52:12
SPEAKER_00: Um then there's this one Superman inside.
52:21
SPEAKER_00: Again, nothing very groundbreaking, you know.
52:26
SPEAKER_00: But if you like Clapton, you know.
52:27
SPEAKER_04: It's Clapping Clapton right here.
52:29
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
52:34
SPEAKER_00: Um, the one thing there is a cover on here.
52:38
SPEAKER_00: Uh actually, there's a song titled, I'm assuming it's an old blues song.
52:43
SPEAKER_00: But you probably don't want a song titled called I Want a Little Girl.
52:50
SPEAKER_04: No, probably not.
52:52
SPEAKER_04: That's that's a big red flag.
52:54
SPEAKER_00: And he does do a cover of James Taylor's Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight.
52:57
SPEAKER_00: Oh.
52:58
SPEAKER_00: Which is interesting.
52:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
52:59
SPEAKER_00: Um and but my favorite song on this album is this one.
53:06
SPEAKER_00: It's called Broken Down.
53:10
SPEAKER_00: But again, not his uh not his best work.
53:16
SPEAKER_00: Still good.
53:17
SPEAKER_02: It's good if you like clapped to I had uh I don't know if you remember the Everett was wonderful when you were in my life yesterday.
53:35
SPEAKER_00: I remember distinctly there was an album that I bought at can't remember if it was Record Town or FYE at the time, but it was in the mall.
53:46
SPEAKER_00: You used to work there.
53:47
SPEAKER_00: I did.
53:48
SPEAKER_00: Um I bought the album Pilgrim.
53:56
SPEAKER_00: And I've never returned an album, but I returned that album.
54:00
SPEAKER_00: Wow.
54:00
SPEAKER_00: Right.
54:02
SPEAKER_00: Um because I was so turned off by the left turn because it was I mean, he was trying to do well.
54:14
SPEAKER_00: Let me just show you.
54:17
SPEAKER_00: Oh, hold on.
54:19
SPEAKER_00: That's not this one.
54:21
SPEAKER_00: It was Pilgrim.
54:26
SPEAKER_00: Looking back, looking back, it's not as bad as I thought it was.
54:31
SPEAKER_00: Right.
54:31
SPEAKER_00: Obviously, because I got it again.
54:33
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:34
SPEAKER_00: Um put all drum machines and just a different sound for Cloudton.
54:42
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
54:42
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, this is crap.
54:44
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to I don't want this.
54:47
SPEAKER_00: Um because it's all programmed drums.
54:51
SPEAKER_00: Simon Clymey was his uh cohort that helped with this album, and it was all just like not bluesy, and I mean it was I shouldn't say it wasn't bluesy, it's very bluesy, but I don't know.
55:05
SPEAKER_00: I didn't like it.
55:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I I get that.
55:07
SPEAKER_00: And now since then.
55:11
SPEAKER_00: So this is his uh tribute to Curtis Mayfield, because he's singing like Curtis right here.
55:15
SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah, okay.
55:16
SPEAKER_00: Right?
55:16
SPEAKER_00: How he sings really high.
55:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
55:20
SPEAKER_00: But in retrospect, this has one of my favorite Clappin' songs of all time.
55:26
SPEAKER_00: Oh, well there you go.
55:27
SPEAKER_00: And it's this one, it's very sad.
55:30
SPEAKER_00: But you can hear the fake drums.
55:36
SPEAKER_00: It's this is a drum machine.
55:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is programmed.
55:38
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
55:40
SPEAKER_00: But the song itself is absolutely beautiful.
55:44
SPEAKER_00: And if you've heard it live, I haven't heard it live, but I've seen it live.
55:48
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
55:49
SPEAKER_00: On video.
55:50
SPEAKER_04: Then therefore you've heard it on line.
55:52
SPEAKER_00: Right, exactly.
55:55
SPEAKER_00: It's called River of Tears.
55:57
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
55:57
SPEAKER_00: Anyway.
55:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh I don't know why I'm skipping around.
56:01
SPEAKER_00: I just wanted you to know that I still buy IR Clapton albums even if they stink.
56:05
SPEAKER_04: Oh well, you know.
56:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
56:06
SPEAKER_04: I expect nothing less.
56:08
SPEAKER_04: Right.
56:10
SPEAKER_00: Uh I and I and he has had some stinkers in recent years.
56:13
SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, no, no doubt about it.
56:15
SPEAKER_00: Um They can't all be winners.
56:17
SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking of uh Old Sock, which was pretty bad.
56:22
SPEAKER_04: Um I think the last Clapton album I got was uh Sessions for Robert J.
56:28
SPEAKER_00: That's a great album.
56:29
SPEAKER_04: Which is really good because I love his version of uh um if I had Yes, thank you.
56:39
SPEAKER_00: If I had possession over judgment day.
56:40
SPEAKER_00: That's the one.
56:48
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
56:48
SPEAKER_00: I mean, this was a great album.
56:50
SPEAKER_00: The whole thing.
56:52
SPEAKER_00: Oh, the the album was just awesome.
56:54
SPEAKER_00: Yep.
56:56
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, uh so Reptile is the album of the week from uh Eric Clapton.

SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say Sir Ericlown, but he's not sir.
57:04
SPEAKER_00: He's not Sir yet.
57:05
SPEAKER_00: No, I don't think so.
57:06

57:12
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.

57:16
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
57:16
SPEAKER_04: I remember I mean it's not like you get to, you know.
57:19
SPEAKER_00: Which is different than a uh MBE, right?
57:22
SPEAKER_00: Because people have turned those down.
57:23
SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah.
57:24
SPEAKER_04: Uh well I know I know a lot of people turned theirs in when the Beatles got theirs.
57:31

57:34
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I didn't know that.
57:35
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah.
57:36
SPEAKER_04: I don't I I think a lot of them like actually mailed it, but some people just threw it over that fence to Buckingham Palace and just you know just because they couldn't just because they were like, Oh, I don't want to be a civilian you know, because because the members of the British Order, uh uh uh British Empire.
57:51
SPEAKER_01: Yep.

SPEAKER_04: Uh that was a military uh you know, started out as a military award.
57:55
SPEAKER_04: Right.
57:55
SPEAKER_04: You know, for valor or whatever.
57:57
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
57:57
SPEAKER_04: And then when the you know I think I think the Beatles were the first like civilians.
58:02
SPEAKER_01: Right.
58:02
SPEAKER_04: I I I could be wrong, I don't know, but uh but I mean a lot of like World War II veterans were upset.
58:09
SPEAKER_04: We're very upset that you know the Queen gave them the MBE.
58:14
SPEAKER_04: So they were just like, ah screw the bath you know, give it back and things like that.
58:18
SPEAKER_04: But you know.
