11:03
SPEAKER_02: Unless we come up with something better.
11:04
SPEAKER_09: So that could happen.
11:05
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, it could happen very well.
11:07
SPEAKER_11: Um okay, so I got a couple things to talk about.
11:10
SPEAKER_11: So uh I feel really bad for Arnell Panada.
11:14
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, I see uh everybody's kind of giving him crap for that.
11:18
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, and listen, I think I saw Dean Castor Nova go on and uh defend him.
11:23
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
11:24
SPEAKER_11: To be perfectly honest, and this is just a vibe I get, because you know Journey comes with a lot of baggage and a lot of drama.
11:34
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, they're to be perfectly honest.
11:36
SPEAKER_09: They're the mean girls of rock and roll.
11:38
SPEAKER_11: I think Arnell Pineda has been trying and really wants out of that band.
11:48
SPEAKER_11: He will not say it, but I think he's done with the drama.
11:54
SPEAKER_09: Well, I don't blame him.
11:55
SPEAKER_09: And and he's because he's in He probably wants to go back and live in obscurity in the Philippines again.
12:02
SPEAKER_11: Well, see, no, don't get me wrong.
12:03
SPEAKER_11: I think he, of course, we're talking about the the the lead singer of Journey, uh, who's from the Philippines, and was put in that spot after um Steve Augieri took over for Steve Perry.
12:20
SPEAKER_11: And Steve Augieri got some sort of illness or something wrong with his voice, um, and was I don't necessarily believe that either.
12:32
SPEAKER_11: I think they fired Steve Augieri, but whatever.
12:35
SPEAKER_11: Um so they got Arnell Paneda, they saw him on YouTube, and and he's been the singer for Journey for 17 years, and I was like, has it been that long?
12:45
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
12:45
SPEAKER_09: It's like holy crap.
12:46
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, for 17 years.
12:47
SPEAKER_11: And he does a great job.
12:48
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
12:48
SPEAKER_11: And he's a he's yeah, he's a great front man, great singer.
12:52
SPEAKER_11: Um but he has been uh like in the in the public eye, like he has he has said, number one, it's a tall order to be the lead singer of Journey.
13:07
SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
13:08
SPEAKER_11: Because of way, the singing.
13:10
SPEAKER_11: I mean, he's a great singer, but it it's hard.
13:13
SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah.
13:14
SPEAKER_11: You know.
13:15
SPEAKER_11: And B because of who you are replacing, arguably one of the best voices in all of rock and roll.
13:25
SPEAKER_11: And so those are big shoes to fill, and and you know, you you are always getting compared.
13:33
SPEAKER_11: In every performance, you're you're being compared.
13:36
SPEAKER_11: And so that's a lot on your shoulders.
13:39
SPEAKER_11: And you know, all the all the legal stuff that they've been going through, and they fired the rhythm section, and blah, blah, blah.
13:47
SPEAKER_11: And he's he's a hired gun.
13:50
SPEAKER_11: I think.
13:50
SPEAKER_11: Essentially, yeah.
13:51
SPEAKER_11: I don't think he's a I think he's in the organization, but I don't think he's like a partner.
13:58
SPEAKER_11: Because it's John Cain and Neil Sean that have their name on the business.
14:01
SPEAKER_11: Right.
14:01
SPEAKER_11: Right.
14:02
SPEAKER_09: And apparently they have a six million dollar credit card.
14:05
SPEAKER_11: Right.
14:07
unknown: Jesus Christ.
14:09
SPEAKER_11: So I think Arnell was done with it a long time ago.
14:14
SPEAKER_11: Because he had made hints in some of his cause I follow him, you know, he on some of his social media like years ago, that um I'm really tired.
14:24
SPEAKER_11: Um, I love being in journey, but I miss my family.
14:27
SPEAKER_11: You know, like I'm paraphrasing, obviously.
14:29
SPEAKER_11: No, sure.
14:30
SPEAKER_11: But he says that all the time.
14:32
SPEAKER_11: And now he they do rock and Rio, and he has a subpar performance, and according to you know, everybody's making excuses.
14:43
SPEAKER_11: I'm reading this article on uh Neil Sean says that they were uh victims of um BS by Avenge Sevenfold.
14:52
SPEAKER_11: So they were on the bill.
14:54
SPEAKER_11: Get that.
14:55
SPEAKER_09: Avenge sevenfold and journey.
14:57
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, in and in Rio.
14:59
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
15:00
SPEAKER_11: Um so it's like having Metallica and the Indigo Girls.
15:03
SPEAKER_11: Right.
15:04
SPEAKER_11: So Neil Sean, he says, uh, we found out uh let's see, Sean uh I'm reading up.
15:13
SPEAKER_11: The the the imposed the headline act imposed control over his band's sound output.
15:20
SPEAKER_11: Journey wasn't even headlining.
15:22
SPEAKER_11: Even sevenfold was the headliner.
15:25
SPEAKER_11: And so somebody asked about that, actually, when a follower asked if Journey's SoundTech uh actually they asked why Even Sevenfold had been the headliner rather than Journey.
15:35
SPEAKER_11: Sean said, politics.
15:37
SPEAKER_11: I don't know what what that means.
15:39
SPEAKER_11: But he said, we found out much later that we got extremely limited by Even Sevenfold.
15:43
SPEAKER_11: That means that hardly any sound can get out of the PA to the audience.
15:48
SPEAKER_11: It's a BS move.
15:50
SPEAKER_11: And he said, despite that, check out the audience.
15:52
SPEAKER_11: They loved it.
15:53
SPEAKER_11: The rest of it is fabricated crap.
15:55
SPEAKER_11: And I believe that.
15:57
SPEAKER_11: He he had said something about uh let's see, he he shared a video from the stage showing the fans at Rio.
16:05
SPEAKER_11: He says, All this absolute garbage, fabricated BS about Arnell.
16:09
SPEAKER_11: Does this look like nobody had a good time?
16:12
SPEAKER_11: I'm asking you.
16:13
SPEAKER_11: All fabricated, owned, and bought blogs BS.
16:18
SPEAKER_11: That's a real thing.
16:20
SPEAKER_11: You know, people pay, you know, sponsor these blogs and stuff like that.
16:23
SPEAKER_11: And so they make things up just to get clicks.
16:28
SPEAKER_11: But what we're talking about is so this performance didn't go well for Journey, or at least for Arnell.
16:35
SPEAKER_11: And he felt so bad about it that he put a post up on social media that said, you know, I I'm I feel terrible.
16:44
SPEAKER_11: If a million people tell me to go, like if a million people comment on this post and they say, quit.
16:53
SPEAKER_11: You should be out of journey.
16:55
SPEAKER_11: Then I will leave.
16:57
SPEAKER_11: Is that passive aggressive?
17:00
SPEAKER_11: Not passive aggressive.
17:01
SPEAKER_11: Is that like if he got a million votes, do you think he really would leave?
17:08
SPEAKER_11: Probably not.
17:09
SPEAKER_11: You don't think so?
17:10
unknown: No.
17:10
SPEAKER_11: I think he would.
17:13
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
17:13
SPEAKER_11: Because I think he wants out.
17:15
unknown: I think.
17:16
SPEAKER_09: Why doesn't he just leave?
17:18
SPEAKER_11: Because I think he's he feels loyalty to the band.
17:23
SPEAKER_11: And I think he likes singing for Journey, but I think he's tired of the drama.
17:29
SPEAKER_09: Well, he probably doesn't want to go living back in a friggin' shack in the Philippines.
17:34
SPEAKER_11: Well, I don't think he would, that's the thing.
17:36
SPEAKER_11: I think he's done pretty well for himself in the past 17 years.
17:39
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
17:40
SPEAKER_11: Um But I don't know.
17:43
SPEAKER_11: Uh who would who would post something like that?
17:47
SPEAKER_11: If a million of you tell me that I should be out of journey, then I'll quit.
17:50
SPEAKER_09: Well, that sounds like something like a Justin Bieber would do.
17:53
SPEAKER_09: Right.
17:54
SPEAKER_09: You know what I mean?
17:55
SPEAKER_09: Just immaturity.
17:56
SPEAKER_09: I I mean I think maybe he was drunk.
17:58
SPEAKER_11: Hmm, I don't know.
18:00
SPEAKER_11: Or high.
18:01
SPEAKER_11: He goes he said, let's see.
18:04
SPEAKER_11: Uh am I am I reading from him or am I reading from Dean Castanovo?
18:10
SPEAKER_11: I think I think I'm reading from him.
18:11
SPEAKER_11: He says, No one more than me in this world feels so devastated about this.
18:15
SPEAKER_11: It's really amazing how a thousand right things you have done will be forgotten just because of this.
18:20
SPEAKER_11: And all and of all the places, it's rock and rio.
18:24
SPEAKER_11: Mentally and emotionally, I've suffered already, and I'm still suffering.
18:28
SPEAKER_11: So here's the deal now.
18:29
SPEAKER_11: I'm offering you a chance, especially those who hated me and never liked me from the very beginning, to simply text go or stay right here.
18:38
SPEAKER_11: And if go reaches one million, I'm stepping out for good.
18:43
SPEAKER_11: I yeah.
18:44
SPEAKER_09: I'm just venting.
18:45
SPEAKER_11: Well, of course he's venting, but I don't know.
18:48
SPEAKER_09: But yeah, I doubt he'll go.
18:50
SPEAKER_11: As of press time.
18:51
SPEAKER_11: Did he get a million?
18:52
SPEAKER_11: Well, as of press time, uh, this article on Ultimate Classic Rock, um, approximately 2,600 people have commented, and it appears that the majority are in the stay camp.
19:03
SPEAKER_11: Um So, yeah, both as you mentioned, both Neil Sean and Dean Castanovo came out and and just were like defending him.
19:14
SPEAKER_11: Castronomo said said, uh, let's see, to think that he's been struggling with this for 14 years, he said, I had no idea.
19:20
SPEAKER_11: I think it was something that he didn't know if he had the liberty to say.
19:23
SPEAKER_11: Hey, I need to fix this, or you guys need to try something different here.
19:26
SPEAKER_11: Either get a new sound man or whatever.
19:29
SPEAKER_11: But once we got this guy, uh everything changed.
19:32
SPEAKER_11: He's a different guy, a different guy.
19:33
SPEAKER_11: Oh my god, it blew us away.
19:34
SPEAKER_11: I think it's been fifteen shows since that changed, and every night he sounds amazing.
19:39
SPEAKER_11: I don't know what changed I'm talking about.
19:41
SPEAKER_11: Long running vocal issues by working with a vocal coach because the band turned down their on stage volume.
19:47
SPEAKER_11: So apparently he was pushing too hard because the band was loud on stage.
19:51
SPEAKER_11: Um and roached his voice, maybe.
19:54
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
19:55
SPEAKER_09: Could be.
19:56
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
19:57
SPEAKER_11: But uh, you know, again, it's just more journey drama.
20:00
SPEAKER_11: Uh which is unfortunate because they are one of my favorite bands.
20:04
SPEAKER_11: You know?
20:04
SPEAKER_11: I I hope they I hope they work it out and I hope they just stop all this crap and and make some music.
20:11
SPEAKER_11: Uh not necessarily new music, because that last album stunk.
20:15
SPEAKER_09: Oh, it was terrible.
20:17
SPEAKER_09: Awful.
20:18
SPEAKER_11: And in the it's like the s the songs weren't terrible, really.
20:22
SPEAKER_11: But the production was terrible.
20:24
SPEAKER_11: Really, really awful.
20:26
SPEAKER_11: Um, all right, moving on.
20:27
SPEAKER_11: I have some October releases.
20:29
SPEAKER_11: Oh, goody.
20:31

30:47
SPEAKER_11: Unless I'm in the car and I have to stream them.
30:52

30:52
SPEAKER_11: And I don't even it's weird because I d I don't I don't have a like platinum or premiere subscription to anything, so I can't call up an album and listen to the whole album.
31:04
SPEAKER_09: You can do that with a platinum or premiere?
31:06

31:08
SPEAKER_11: Really?
31:08
SPEAKER_11: I think so.
31:10
SPEAKER_11: Um You know, YouTube every once in a while would will have like uh you can go and say, you know, whatever, full album, and they've they've put out like videos or lyric videos for all of the songs on an album.
31:27
SPEAKER_11: So you could listen to a whole album on YouTube.
31:29
SPEAKER_11: Right.

SPEAKER_11: But that's cumbersome if you're driving.
31:31
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.

31:41
SPEAKER_11: Right.
31:42
SPEAKER_11: Um and so I don't know, I just f I just it pains me that my personal listening uh habits have changed.
31:54
SPEAKER_11: Because I used to, you know, I have this all set up down here, my my records and and everything, so that I can come down here and put one on and just kick back and listen and enjoy it and play guitar to it or something.
32:09
SPEAKER_11: But I never get a chance to do that.
32:12
SPEAKER_11: It's just you think with you think with age you slow down or or you have time to to do the things you enjoy.
32:24
SPEAKER_11: But it's not the case.
32:25
SPEAKER_11: I'm just I'm busier than I've ever been.
32:27
SPEAKER_09: It's crazy.

33:14
SPEAKER_11: So you had varsity playing on one field and you had the JV playing on the other field.
33:17

33:20
SPEAKER_11: Right.
33:20

36:54
SPEAKER_11: We did, we absolutely did.
36:55
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
36:56
SPEAKER_11: So we didn't leave until I don't know, almost two o'clock, or it was two o'clock.
37:01
SPEAKER_11: And the show was at eight.
37:03
SPEAKER_11: And it takes at least four and a half hours, four hours, four and a half hours to get down to Portland.
37:09
SPEAKER_09: Well, that's from here, but if you're exactly St.

37:14
SPEAKER_11: So so we got we got to the venue.
37:17
SPEAKER_11: So to back up, so Josh Kovac, our old guitar player, our brother, uh, who moved to Nashville to become a successful guitar player, um, touring guitar player, session guitar player, um, extraordinaire in Nashville.
37:35

37:39
SPEAKER_11: Was it that long ago?
37:40
SPEAKER_09: It's been a while.
37:41
SPEAKER_11: I thought it was like 17, but maybe not.
37:44
SPEAKER_11: I don't know.
37:44
SPEAKER_09: I don't know.
37:45
SPEAKER_09: I don't remember.
37:45
SPEAKER_11: I don't keep track.
37:46
SPEAKER_11: But anyway, he's been he's been there a while.
37:48
SPEAKER_11: Um and he's been doing great.
37:50
SPEAKER_11: Anyway, he's touring with an artist named Dylan Schneider, and he's never, and we did discover this, he's never played in Maine since he moved to Nashville.
38:02
SPEAKER_09: Right.
38:03
SPEAKER_11: So we got wind that he's his Dylan Schneider was coming to uh Portland.
38:08
SPEAKER_11: So I was like, I'm there.
38:10
SPEAKER_11: And so I bought tickets, and we and actually um Shane and his wife Kim uh acquired tickets uh as well.
38:20
SPEAKER_11: And so they were gonna go.
38:22
SPEAKER_11: And so the uh Dylan Schneider's band was opening for a country artist uh by the name of Mitchell Tenpenny.
38:32
SPEAKER_11: Um so we got down there about seven o'clock, and the show starts at eight.
38:40
SPEAKER_11: And so I told my wife, actually before I told my wife, Shane came in and he said, just so you know, I said we listened to Dylan Schneider's music and Mitchell Tenpenny's music on the way here.
38:57
SPEAKER_11: Um after Josh's show, we're gonna leave.
39:01
SPEAKER_11: And I said, um, I'm with ya.
39:06
SPEAKER_11: And so I mentioned it to my wife.
39:08
SPEAKER_11: She's like, well, no, Josh would be upset.
39:11
SPEAKER_11: And and I said, I don't I don't think Josh would be upset.
39:14
SPEAKER_11: I think we came to see Josh, we saw him, and we can leave.
39:17
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
39:18
SPEAKER_09: You're done, you're done either.
39:19
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, yeah.
39:20
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
39:20
SPEAKER_11: And so because I told, I said, you know, I don't really like Dylan's music.
39:27
SPEAKER_11: I don't like Mitchell Tenpenny's music.
39:30
SPEAKER_11: Um, I'm there for Josh.
39:31
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
39:32
SPEAKER_11: And Shane said the same thing, Shane and Kim.
39:34
SPEAKER_11: And so my wife said, Well, so let me let me back up.
39:42
SPEAKER_11: So Kim said, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.
39:48
SPEAKER_11: Uh Dylan Dylan Schneider.
39:49
SPEAKER_11: I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt, and you know, maybe it's different live and and whatnot.
39:57
SPEAKER_11: And so they started, and when I tell you that Josh just killed it, rocked.
40:08
SPEAKER_11: I I was telling Shane, I said, he looks like Reb Beach up there.
40:12
SPEAKER_11: He's got his hair flowing and he's dressed, you know, just so, and his stage presence is amazing.
40:19
SPEAKER_11: Um, his guitar tone, his guitar sound was incredible.
40:27
SPEAKER_11: Every note that he played was spot on.
40:31
SPEAKER_11: Um just killed it.
40:33
SPEAKER_11: I was really proud of him.
40:34
SPEAKER_11: Uh and it was so great to see.
40:37
SPEAKER_11: Because, I mean, we actually talked about it uh because we we went and saw Josh after he got off stage.
40:43
SPEAKER_11: We went out into the lobby and we were talking to him, and I said to him, I said, You learned to palm mute.
40:50
SPEAKER_11: He's like, Finally.
40:52
SPEAKER_11: Uh but he was very appreciative that we were there.
40:55
SPEAKER_11: But my wife, during the Dylan Schneider concert, actually towards the end of the Dylan Schneider concert, he played for about I want to say 45 minutes.
41:03
SPEAKER_11: Um she said, you know, I was given I was trying given him a chance.
41:10
SPEAKER_11: But I think he played forty-five minutes of the same song.
41:15
SPEAKER_11: It was it was so noticeable.
41:20
SPEAKER_11: You know, it every song started the same, built up the same, had a big chorus, and came back down.
41:29
SPEAKER_11: And you didn't know unless they stopped and then he would and then he'd start a new song and it sounded just like the one he just ended.
41:39
SPEAKER_11: It was crazy.
41:40
SPEAKER_11: Um and of course I I think we're exaggerating a little bit, but I mean there were obviously differences, but it was the same formula, it was the same structure.
41:50
SPEAKER_11: And she turned to me and she says, Yeah, if if you think Josh will be okay with it, I don't want to stay for Mitchell Tenpenny, because I think she had heard a couple of Mitchell Tenpenny songs.
42:03
SPEAKER_11: Just not our thing.
42:03
SPEAKER_11: And that's what there's nothing wrong with that.
42:05
SPEAKER_11: Right.
42:06
SPEAKER_11: But the takeaway was Josh is just living the dream.
42:15
SPEAKER_09: Well, yeah.
42:16
SPEAKER_11: I mean, it's it was and we when we went out to see him, it was really nice.
42:20
SPEAKER_11: It was like no time had passed at all.
42:22
SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
42:22
SPEAKER_11: We were joking like we normally joke.
42:24
SPEAKER_11: Uh I said, You're not using an amp are up there, are you?
42:28
SPEAKER_11: He says, No.
42:29
SPEAKER_11: And he's not, he was using a fractal.
42:31
SPEAKER_09: Sure.
42:32
SPEAKER_11: Uh right into the board.
42:33
SPEAKER_11: So he goes on this whole tech speak, you know, talking to me like I know what he's talking about.
42:38
SPEAKER_11: Um, which is great, you know.
42:40
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, you know, I I I loved it.
42:42
SPEAKER_11: And I was just very proud of him, and it was just so cool to see.
42:48
SPEAKER_11: Uh, and his wife was there.
42:49
SPEAKER_11: I didn't get to talk to her, yeah.
42:50
SPEAKER_11: But she was, you know, because she was with friends and everything.
42:53
SPEAKER_11: And I think we can say this.
42:55
SPEAKER_09: Uh no.
42:56
SPEAKER_11: No?
42:56
SPEAKER_09: I think I think that should be something because I haven't seen it I haven't seen him say anything else to anybody about it.
43:04
SPEAKER_11: So I don't think it's they spread it all around down there.
43:07
SPEAKER_09: Well, I still I don't I don't feel right about yeah.
43:10
SPEAKER_09: That's that's their news.
43:11
SPEAKER_09: That's not for us to so.
43:15
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
43:16
SPEAKER_11: You're right.
43:16
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
43:17
SPEAKER_11: So I won't say anything.
43:22
SPEAKER_09: There you go.
43:23
SPEAKER_11: Yeah, we said it without saying it.
43:25
SPEAKER_11: Exactly.

55:45
SPEAKER_09: I probably won't win this one and may not be popular, but a song that would be hell for me to listen to for 14 hours is Susudio by Phil Collins.

56:20
SPEAKER_11: I'm not gonna blame him completely, because I have to have a little conversation with him.
56:26
SPEAKER_11: But uh he spends a lot of time FaceTiming down here, so I'm just assuming that's now it sounds better.
56:35
SPEAKER_08: Maybe it's just uh maybe it's the internet.

SPEAKER_08: Oh maybe.
56:45

57:29
SPEAKER_11: You know, it's a cut on an album.
57:30
SPEAKER_11: Is it a song?
57:32
SPEAKER_11: It's a compilation, right?
57:33
SPEAKER_11: Or like a like an amalgamation of different sounds.
57:36
SPEAKER_09: All I can think of is that is that video going around of John Lennon, Chuck Berry, and Yoko Ono doing a song and she starts screaming, and Chuck Berry's eyes go really wide.
57:48
SPEAKER_09: That's all I can think of every time.
57:52
SPEAKER_02: Oh my word.
57:53
SPEAKER_02: So, yeah.
57:54
SPEAKER_11: Uh I'm gonna be honest.
57:57
SPEAKER_11: I haven't picked one.
57:58
SPEAKER_11: Uh I'm trying to.
57:59
SPEAKER_09: Well, it's hard, man.
58:00
SPEAKER_09: I mean it is.
58:01
SPEAKER_09: Because we, you know, if it's a CD in our car, then we obviously love that band or CD or whatever.
58:07
SPEAKER_09: Right.
58:08
SPEAKER_09: So um it was a hard question this week, man.
58:12
SPEAKER_09: I'll tell you what.
58:13
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
58:15
SPEAKER_11: Uh I want to go something like um Neil Young or, you know, because there are certain Neil Young songs that I like.
58:26
SPEAKER_11: I don't really much care for Neil Young.
58:29
SPEAKER_11: No.
58:29
SPEAKER_09: Um I don't think anybody really does.
58:32
SPEAKER_11: But I, you know, I I don't hate his stuff enough to say it was the worst song ever.
58:41
SPEAKER_11: So I'm kind of like looking through um my collection here, and you know, I would have said something like um Pink Floyd.
58:55
SPEAKER_11: I liked Pink Floyd, but there are songs from Pink Floyd that are just Oh, just yeah.
58:59
SPEAKER_09: Um I think I think if if hell had a soundtrack, it would be Neil Young, Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, and Yoko Ono.
59:36
SPEAKER_11: For lack of a better choice, this is what I'm gonna say.
59:38
SPEAKER_11: Okay, let's see.
59:39
SPEAKER_11: Emily Floyd from Big Floyd.
59:41
SPEAKER_11: Okay.
59:43

59:47
SPEAKER_11: I would.
59:54
SPEAKER_11: Wait.
59:56
SPEAKER_11: No, that's yeah, that's the beginning part of uh of uh Brick and the Wall.
1:00:01
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:00:01
SPEAKER_11: So yeah, I I guess I'll go with that because I can't I can't think of Yeah, I can't I couldn't either, but I would have thought of something like I don't I don't have it here, but like something like Piggies or something like from Pink Floyd.
1:00:12
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:00:12
SPEAKER_09: Uh oh I thought you meant the Beatles.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_11: Was it was it?
1:00:18
SPEAKER_09: Didn't Pink Floyd have one?
1:00:19
SPEAKER_09: They might have, but I all I can think is uh I don't know, I think it was just called Pigs.
1:00:23
SPEAKER_11: Because they had that whole album that was all animals and stuff.
1:00:26
SPEAKER_11: Oh, Pink Floyd.
1:00:27
SPEAKER_11: Pink Floyd, yeah.
1:00:27
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_09: Um I think the Beatles one was called Piggies.
1:00:31

1:00:33
SPEAKER_11: But yeah.
1:00:34

1:14:55
SPEAKER_11: So like a fragile little child more than a little lost and wild, how the light would leave the sky when you cried and return again when you smiled, and how the light would invade and divide the darkness I have inside.
1:15:10
SPEAKER_11: There were two of me and two of you searching for a passageway hidden from our view, and together we went crashing through in every bond and vow and faith we knew, me and the fool I've been and the two of you.

1:24:04
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:24:05
SPEAKER_11: So.
1:24:05
SPEAKER_09: But but it's an actual event.
1:24:07
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.

1:24:34
SPEAKER_09: All right.
1:24:34

1:24:43
SPEAKER_11: When we were kings.
1:24:44
SPEAKER_11: When we were kings, yes.
1:24:45
SPEAKER_09: It's very I I I don't know.
1:24:47
SPEAKER_09: I think it I think um I think we are living in end times because I think the albums are staying good because God has tried to bring people to him through heavy metal.
1:25:02
SPEAKER_09: Through heavy metal.
1:25:03
SPEAKER_09: Well, I mean, you know, that's that's the audience, man.
1:25:06
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:25:06
SPEAKER_11: That's true.
1:25:07
SPEAKER_09: You know, a lot of people listen to Stryper but don't know God.
1:25:11
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
1:25:11
SPEAKER_09: You listen to Stryper, and you know, he's like, hey, feed him.
1:25:15
SPEAKER_11: Yeah.

SPEAKER_09: It's getting close.
1:25:16
SPEAKER_09: It's getting to be time.

1:25:18
SPEAKER_09: You gotta choose a side.
1:25:20
SPEAKER_11: Get right.
1:25:21
SPEAKER_09: So I think that I think that's why they're all their albums in the last like 10 years have been amazing.
1:25:26
SPEAKER_09: They've been amazing albums.
1:25:27
SPEAKER_09: Yeah, so yeah.
