- 2:54SPEAKER_10: My little vacation.
- 2:55SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 2:56SPEAKER_10: Um I was trying to think of something to talk about.
- 3:02SPEAKER_10: We always come in here with really nothing to talk about.
- 3:05SPEAKER_12: Well, I have something to talk about.
- 3:06SPEAKER_12: Oh, you do?
- 3:07SPEAKER_12: Yes.
- 3:07SPEAKER_12: I think my ears are uneven.
- 3:11SPEAKER_12: I think I think the right one is higher than the left.
- 3:14SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 3:15SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 3:16SPEAKER_12: Good story.
- 3:18SPEAKER_12: I'm pretty I'm pretty sure I'm pretty sure it's true because my it feels like my glasses are always crooked.
- 3:22SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 3:23SPEAKER_12: But when I straighten them, I mean they're on my ears.
- 3:25SPEAKER_12: But it it still looks crooked.
- 3:28SPEAKER_12: So I I I I have this theory that my right ear is higher than my left ear.
- 3:33SPEAKER_10: Is that really one of the things you wanted to talk about?
- 3:35SPEAKER_12: Well, it was just an observation I had.
- 3:38SPEAKER_10: Well, look at me look at me straight on.
- 3:41SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you can't tell.
- 3:42SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I know.
- 3:43SPEAKER_12: I think it's very subtle.
- 3:44SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 3:45SPEAKER_12: But it it just feels crooked.
- 3:46SPEAKER_12: I just feel crooked.
- 3:47SPEAKER_12: I don't know why.
- 3:48SPEAKER_12: But you feel crooked?
- 3:50SPEAKER_12: My head feels crooked.
- 3:51SPEAKER_12: Oh, okay.
- 3:52SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 3:53SPEAKER_12: Uh you know what I did over the weekend?
- 3:54SPEAKER_12: What's that?
- 3:55SPEAKER_12: Because I made good use of my time and I have you know nothing else to do.

- 4:59SPEAKER_10: Well, that's good to know.
- 5:00SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 5:00SPEAKER_12: So thanks for taking one for the team, man.
- 5:02SPEAKER_12: Well, you know, it was fun, you know, going through and because a lot of them are were like listed in the show notes.
- 5:08SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 5:08SPEAKER_12: So it was easy.
- 5:09SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 5:09SPEAKER_12: But there were some I actually had to like find.
- 5:11SPEAKER_12: Had to go in and find.
- 5:13unknown: Right.
- 5:13SPEAKER_12: So I had to listen to it and like, ooh.
- 5:15SPEAKER_10: So did you figure out when we started doing Episode four.
- 5:19SPEAKER_10: Episode four of the first of season one is when we first started doing the Wall of Tunes.
- 5:22SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 5:23SPEAKER_10: Because I remember starting the podcast and saying, I'm purging all these CDs.
- 5:28SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and it came out of that because it was one of the top I think it was on the second one you were talking about purging the CDs, and then the third one you were like, hey, let's play a guessing game.
- 5:37SPEAKER_12: And then it became the Wall of Tunes.
- 5:40SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 5:40SPEAKER_12: So yeah.
- 5:41SPEAKER_12: It's like, hey, it's a thing now.
- 5:43SPEAKER_10: And there's still, I mean, even though we've repeated some artists, still quite a bit.
- 5:47SPEAKER_10: There's still quite a few to uh to get to.
- 5:49SPEAKER_12: So we're good.
- 5:50SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 5:50SPEAKER_10: We're good for another few seasons.
- 5:52SPEAKER_10: And I think it's okay to repeat an artist as long as it's a different album.
- 5:57SPEAKER_12: Well, as long as it's not like weak back back to back.
- 5:59SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 6:00SPEAKER_10: Exactly.
- 6:00SPEAKER_12: I mean, you know, these are these were spread out over seasons, you know.
- 6:04SPEAKER_12: So I think we're good.
- 6:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 6:06SPEAKER_10: Cool.
- 6:07SPEAKER_10: Um, so one of the other things I wanted to talk about was they just released um, I think it's a Polestar.
- 6:14SPEAKER_10: Have you have you heard about this?
- 6:16SPEAKER_10: Polestar.com.
- 6:17SPEAKER_10: It's a it's a touring um outfit.
- 6:21SPEAKER_10: They I don't know if they book tours or I don't know what they do.
- 6:24SPEAKER_10: But they put a polestar?
- 6:27SPEAKER_10: Polestar.
- 6:27SPEAKER_10: P-O-L-L-S-T-A-R.
- 6:30SPEAKER_12: Oh.
- 6:30SPEAKER_12: Because it sounded like a stripper thing.
- 6:33SPEAKER_10: Not not pole, P-O-L-E.
- 6:35SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 6:35SPEAKER_12: Pole.
- 6:36SPEAKER_12: Like a like a like a poll.
- 6:37SPEAKER_12: Like Gallup poll.
- 6:38SPEAKER_10: Gallop poll, right.
- 6:39SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 6:40SPEAKER_10: So they released uh a listing of the top touring artists of the past 40 years.
- 6:51SPEAKER_12: Oh, okay.
- 6:52SPEAKER_10: And so you get how many tickets they've sold in forty years.
- 6:57SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 6:58SPEAKER_10: And how much they have grossed in forty years.
- 7:03SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 7:04SPEAKER_10: Um and so what would you who would you think?
- 7:11SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna I've I've got access here to the top fifty.
- 7:14SPEAKER_12: Okay, top fifty?
- 7:15SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 7:15SPEAKER_10: Uh who would you think is number one?
- 7:17SPEAKER_12: Well, I don't know who's number one, but Rolling Stones is on that list somewhere.
- 7:21SPEAKER_12: Rolling Stones is number one.
- 7:22SPEAKER_12: Oh well there you go.
- 7:23SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 7:23SPEAKER_10: Number one.
- 7:24SPEAKER_10: So they nailed it.
- 7:25SPEAKER_10: So they have Shut it down, we're going on.
- 7:27SPEAKER_10: They have sold over 40 years now.
- 7:30SPEAKER_10: And keep in mind it's interesting because when you see some of these other artists, um you'll you'll realize that there's big gaps in there.
- 7:42SPEAKER_10: Like, for example, the Rolling Stones, they don't tour all the time.
- 7:46SPEAKER_10: No.
- 7:46SPEAKER_10: Sometimes they take decades off.
- 7:47SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 7:48SPEAKER_10: You know, and don't have to.
- 7:49SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 7:50SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 7:50SPEAKER_10: But in 40 years, uh the Rolling Stones, so let's see, 40 years from it would be what, 1982?
- 8:01SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I'd be eighty.
- 8:02SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 8:02SPEAKER_10: 1982.
- 8:03SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 8:03SPEAKER_10: So since 1982, the Rolling Stones have sold twenty-two million one hundred and thirty-seven thousand seven hundred and ninety-nine tickets.
- 8:14SPEAKER_10: Chump change.
- 8:15SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 8:16SPEAKER_10: And also you have to take into consideration.
- 8:18SPEAKER_12: I can find that in the in the coucher.
- 8:20SPEAKER_10: You also have to take into consideration ticket price.
- 8:22SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 8:23SPEAKER_12: Because it's probably hundreds of dollars per ticket.
- 8:25SPEAKER_10: Right, because they've grossed$2 billion$165,280,638.
- 8:32SPEAKER_12: See, they alone are probably make more than some of the, you know, half the economies in the of countries on the African continent.
- 8:39SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 8:39SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 8:40SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 8:41SPEAKER_10: So just so just touring, or yeah, just touring over 40 years, since 1982, the Rolling Stones have made two billion dollars.
- 8:50SPEAKER_10: That's crazy.
- 8:50SPEAKER_10: Now I don't know.
- 8:51SPEAKER_10: Obviously that gets I don't know if it goes to their touring outfit like their employees.
- 8:57SPEAKER_10: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 8:58SPEAKER_10: Pay for stuff.
- 9:00SPEAKER_10: And so who do you think uh let's see maybe the top five.
- 9:04SPEAKER_10: So Rolling Stones number one.
- 9:05SPEAKER_10: That was a good guess.
- 9:06SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 9:07SPEAKER_12: Uh who else is up there?
- 9:09SPEAKER_12: I would say Metallica's up there somewhere.
- 9:11SPEAKER_10: Uh Metallica is number nine.
- 9:13SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 9:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 9:13SPEAKER_10: Yep.

- 9:15SPEAKER_10: They they sold 19 million, well just over 19.5 million uh tickets, and they have grossed 1 billion two hundred and nineteen million tickets.
- 9:24SPEAKER_12: Yeah, they've done quite a bit.
- 9:25SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 9:26SPEAKER_10: Um we're looking for the top five.
- 9:28SPEAKER_12: Who wants to be top five?

- 9:50SPEAKER_10: You know what I mean?
- 9:50SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 9:51SPEAKER_10: And they've sold$23 plus million tickets.

- 13:25SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 13:25SPEAKER_10: So uh number two, actually no, I'll go number five.
- 13:28SPEAKER_10: Number five, Madonna.
- 13:30SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 13:30SPEAKER_10: Makes sense.
- 13:31SPEAKER_10: Uh Madonna uh grossed uh 1.3 billion and sold uh over 11 million tickets.
- 13:36SPEAKER_10: Number four, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
- 13:40SPEAKER_10: One and a half billion, uh twenty uh point eight million tickets.
- 13:46SPEAKER_12: Um Yeah, and he's in kind of a kerfluffle right now.
- 13:49SPEAKER_12: Yeah, well I expect about his some of his tickets now on this tour.
- 13:55SPEAKER_12: $3,000 or something like that.
- 13:57SPEAKER_10: Something crazy like that.
- 13:58SPEAKER_10: Well that gives there's an interesting uh dichotomy here because Springsteen and the E Street Band was number four.
- 14:03SPEAKER_10: They made one point five billion dollars in the past 40 years, and they've sold twenty point eight million tickets.
- 14:10SPEAKER_10: Elton John is number three.
- 14:13SPEAKER_10: He made uh more money, he made one point seven billion dollars, but sold less or sold less tickets.
- 14:22SPEAKER_10: So he's charging more.
- 14:23SPEAKER_10: Right, nineteen million tickets.
- 14:25SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 14:25SPEAKER_10: Number two, we don't we know we know the stones are number one.
- 14:28SPEAKER_10: Number two is U two.
- 14:30SPEAKER_12: Ah, I never even thought of U2.
- 14:32SPEAKER_12: Cousin cousin Bono.
- 14:33SPEAKER_10: Right, and they sold or they they grossed two point one billion dollars, and they but they sold twenty-six million tickets, which they've if I'm if I'm looking at it, they've sold they sold more tickets than the Rolling Stones.
- 14:47SPEAKER_10: Yeah, which means the Rolling Stones charged outlandish prices for their for their tickets.
- 14:51SPEAKER_12: That's what I'm reading into that.
- 14:52SPEAKER_10: So um so rallying out the top ten, number six was Celine Dion.
- 14:57SPEAKER_10: Uh number seven, Bon Jovi.
- 14:59SPEAKER_10: Mm-hmm.
- 14:59SPEAKER_10: Number eight, the Eagles.
- 15:01SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.
- 15:01SPEAKER_10: Interesting.
- 15:02SPEAKER_10: Uh the past 40 years since that's not bad.
- 15:04SPEAKER_10: They didn't uh tour again until like what the early nineties.
- 15:07SPEAKER_10: Yeah, mid-90s, or when hell froze over.
- 15:10SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 15:10SPEAKER_10: Um we told you Metallica and Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, uh number eleven.
- 15:15SPEAKER_10: Oh, eleven.
- 15:16SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 15:16SPEAKER_10: Uh for one one point one or one point two billion dollars.
- 15:20SPEAKER_10: Kenny Chesney, number twelve.
- 15:22SPEAKER_10: He tours all the time.
- 15:23SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.

- 15:30SPEAKER_10: Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Roger Waters, Rod Stewart, Andre Rue.
- 15:36SPEAKER_10: I think he's a I think he's a um uh like a tenor.
- 15:40SPEAKER_10: I think he's like a like a uh you know what I mean.
- 15:42SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 15:43SPEAKER_10: Get this number twenty-one, Trans Siberian Orchestra.
- 15:47SPEAKER_10: Really?
- 15:47SPEAKER_10: Yeah, seven hundred and sixty-eight billion dollars.
- 15:51SPEAKER_10: What?
- 15:52SPEAKER_10: Fifteen I'm sorry, million dollars.
- 15:54SPEAKER_10: Sorry, sorry.
- 15:55SPEAKER_10: That was a lot.
- 15:56SPEAKER_10: Man.
- 15:57SPEAKER_10: Uh 15 million tickets, though.
- 15:59SPEAKER_12: That's pretty impressive.
- 16:00SPEAKER_10: Yep.

- 16:07SPEAKER_10: Tim McGraw, number 26, AC DC, who tours like every 10 years.
- 16:12SPEAKER_10: Yeah, but they don't charge much.
- 16:14SPEAKER_10: No, they don't, but they made$668 million and they sold 11 million tickets.
- 16:19SPEAKER_10: Fleetwood Mac, George Strait, is uh is he the besides Taylor Swift, who's not really country anymore, uh he's the first country act.
- 16:28SPEAKER_10: Kenny Chesney.
- 16:28SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

- 16:36SPEAKER_10: You keep doing I know.
- 16:37SPEAKER_10: I mean well, there's all these numbers in front of me trying to keep them straight.
- 16:41SPEAKER_10: Number 30.
- 16:43SPEAKER_10: Neil Diamond.
- 16:44SPEAKER_10: Well, I can say that sold as many tickets as George Strait, uh, and just a little bit less than Aerosmith.

- 17:14SPEAKER_10: That's it.

- 17:35SPEAKER_10: Take That made$424 million selling 4 million tickets.
- 17:41SPEAKER_10: Wow.
- 17:42SPEAKER_10: Um, I thought Take That broke up a long time ago.
- 17:45SPEAKER_10: I thought so too.
- 17:46SPEAKER_10: Maybe they did.
- 17:46SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
- 17:47SPEAKER_12: Um, interesting.
- 17:49SPEAKER_10: Yeah, so I just thought that was um kind of a neat little uh snapshot of the business.
- 17:56SPEAKER_10: The biz.
- 17:57SPEAKER_10: The biz.
- 17:58SPEAKER_10: And I actually I'm in a um on on Facebook.
- 18:01SPEAKER_10: I don't use Facebook for much um except for being I just use it to make snarky comments.
- 18:07SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 18:08SPEAKER_12: About about certain learning institutions.
- 18:11SPEAKER_10: Right, but we're not gonna go there because we'll get ourselves in trouble.
- 18:14SPEAKER_12: I don't know what you're talking about.
- 18:15SPEAKER_12: Right, exactly.
- 18:16SPEAKER_12: I can't confirm or deny anything else.
- 18:18SPEAKER_10: Exactly.
- 18:19SPEAKER_10: Um I use I I have Facebook to to promote the music and and to have Messenger so that I can communicate.
- 18:26SPEAKER_10: Um, but I'm also in in some groups like um uh Journey All Access.
- 18:32SPEAKER_10: I'm a big fan of Journey, so they share like the members of that group, they share rare things that you wouldn't see anywhere else.
- 18:40SPEAKER_10: I'm in a journey group, I'm in a Van Halen group uh with Sammy Hagar.
- 18:44SPEAKER_10: Um I think I'm in George Strait's group, you know.
- 18:48SPEAKER_10: Um I can't remember which other ones.
- 18:51SPEAKER_10: But anyway, that's where I saw it was in this journey group.
- 18:53SPEAKER_08: Oh and they said journey's on this list, and look number 45.
- 18:57SPEAKER_08: Yeah, pathetic.
- 18:58SPEAKER_10: Yeah, right.
- 18:58SPEAKER_10: Those are rookie numbers, you gotta up then then.
- 19:00SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 19:02SPEAKER_10: So yeah, that was uh I thought that was an interesting uh interesting look at uh the way we the way we um spend our money, basically.
- 19:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah, basically, you know, and the popularity of some of these of some of these acts.
- 19:16SPEAKER_10: Uh Star City Syndicate did not make the list.
- 19:19SPEAKER_12: Oh, we would be down in like the millions.
- 19:22SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 19:22SPEAKER_10: I don't even think we'd make the list.
- 19:24SPEAKER_10: I don't even think so, man.
- 19:26SPEAKER_10: Well, we don't charge admission to our shows.
- 19:28SPEAKER_12: Exactly.
- 19:28SPEAKER_12: So we're we're we're making we know our our our our thing is zero.
- 19:33SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 19:34SPEAKER_10: Uh so we got a big uh show coming up this weekend.
- 19:37SPEAKER_10: Yes.

- 19:39SPEAKER_10: Yeah, going up to the valley.
- 19:41SPEAKER_10: Going to the valley.
- 19:42SPEAKER_10: We've played the Cadian Festival three times now?
- 19:45SPEAKER_10: Uh three times.
- 19:46SPEAKER_10: We played once inside the multi-purpose center.
- 19:49SPEAKER_10: We didn't have a lot of things.
- 19:50SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 19:50SPEAKER_10: That was the first time.
- 19:51SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and then twice twice in the pavilion.

- 20:06SPEAKER_12: That uh UMFK.
- 20:08SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 20:09SPEAKER_10: That may or may not have asked for a insurance signature or something.
- 20:15SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 20:15SPEAKER_12: Whatever.
- 20:16SPEAKER_10: But whatever.
- 20:17unknown: But yeah.
- 20:18SPEAKER_12: We play in your general direction.
- 20:22SPEAKER_10: That's an inside joke.
- 20:24SPEAKER_10: We'll just keep that right there.
- 20:28SPEAKER_12: See, that's an inside joke.
- 20:29SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 20:34SPEAKER_10: Um, all right.
- 20:35SPEAKER_11: What I myself and I find that very humiliating.
- 20:39SPEAKER_11: Very what's the word you're looking for?
- 20:42SPEAKER_11: I have no idea.
- 20:43SPEAKER_11: Entertaining.
- 20:45SPEAKER_11: Very hilarious.
- 20:46SPEAKER_10: Oh, okay.
- 20:47SPEAKER_10: So we could talk about a little bit about um we've got a uh wedding coming up that um we're gonna be playing as Common Crossing.
- 20:55SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 20:56SPEAKER_10: And we haven't played in over three years.
- 20:59SPEAKER_10: No.
- 21:00SPEAKER_10: Well, and my kids corrected me.
- 21:02SPEAKER_10: I said, I said, Common Crossing hasn't played in over three years.
- 21:04SPEAKER_10: And they're like, Yes, yes, you did.
- 21:05SPEAKER_10: You played last year.
- 21:06SPEAKER_10: No, we didn't.
- 21:07SPEAKER_10: Yes, you did.
- 21:07SPEAKER_10: No, we didn't.
- 21:08SPEAKER_10: Yes, you did.
- 21:09SPEAKER_10: Yes, we did.
- 21:10SPEAKER_10: But it wasn't really Common Crossing.
- 21:11SPEAKER_12: It was Well, it was it was us with John Simon.
- 21:14SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 21:14SPEAKER_10: So we haven't played with Shane.
- 21:15SPEAKER_10: Yeah, we haven't played with Shane.
- 21:17SPEAKER_12: On a bass with an electric kit.
- 21:20SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 21:21SPEAKER_10: With a f with a full the full band, yeah.
- 21:23SPEAKER_10: Show with Shane.
- 21:24SPEAKER_10: We haven't done that in over three years, and I think it'll it'll be like, you know, riding a bike, except that we've at least bike has flat tires.
- 21:31SPEAKER_10: Well, we've decided at the last minute, so we don't want to play the same old songs, even though we haven't played them uh for a long time.
- 21:37SPEAKER_10: We don't want to play the same old songs, and I agree with him.
- 21:40SPEAKER_10: So we're playing a bunch of songs that we've never played before.
- 21:42SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it'll be fine.
- 21:43SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 21:45SPEAKER_12: I don't see anything going wrong with this.
- 21:47SPEAKER_12: And we and we don't rehearse.
- 21:49SPEAKER_12: Well, the thing is I think we have to do this stri strategically.
- 21:53SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 21:54SPEAKER_12: Stra Strategically.
- 21:55SPEAKER_12: Strategially.
- 21:56SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 21:56SPEAKER_12: Um we gotta play the stuff that we know first.
- 22:00SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 22:00SPEAKER_12: Then uh if you look at the chart here that I've I'm creating in the air, okay this is this is the amount of alcohol people are drinking.
- 22:10SPEAKER_12: Exactly.
- 22:10SPEAKER_12: This is the talent of the band.
- 22:13SPEAKER_12: Okay?
- 22:15SPEAKER_12: As this number goes up, see see what's happening?
- 22:18SPEAKER_10: By the end they're gonna be like, whoa.
- 22:20SPEAKER_12: We're gonna be the best band ever.
- 22:22SPEAKER_12: Amazing.
- 22:23SPEAKER_12: Rolling stones eat your heart out.
- 22:25SPEAKER_12: Okay.
- 22:26SPEAKER_12: So what I'm thinking, uh on the separate chart, oh well, I'll erase this one.
- 22:31SPEAKER_12: Uh on this chart, this is songs that we know, right, versus how well we play them.
- 22:38SPEAKER_12: And this line will represent the amount of alcohol everybody drinks.
- 22:42SPEAKER_12: So we start low, so we you know, this is the songs we know towards the songs that we don't know.
- 22:48SPEAKER_12: So as the people drink, the songs that we don't know will sound really, really good.
- 22:54SPEAKER_10: Makes sense.
- 22:55SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 22:56SPEAKER_10: So I should I should change the set list, is what you're saying.
- 22:59SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 23:00SPEAKER_10: Because I've made the set list and and it doesn't reflect that.
- 23:03SPEAKER_10: Well, we'll just we'll just call audibles.
- 23:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 23:06SPEAKER_10: Um Did you see that the uh the mother of the groom reached out to us?
- 23:13SPEAKER_10: Yes, I did.
- 23:13SPEAKER_10: And would like to meet sometime this week to talk about the music.
- 23:16SPEAKER_10: So this may be a moot point.
- 23:18SPEAKER_12: Well, yeah, we we may be playing.
- 23:20SPEAKER_12: Are we are we DJing too?
- 23:22SPEAKER_12: I don't know, are we?
- 23:23SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 23:24SPEAKER_08: Um Is that part of the deal?
- 23:26SPEAKER_08: I don't know.
- 23:26SPEAKER_08: I don't remember I mean we can.
- 23:28SPEAKER_08: I don't I mean we have the technology.
- 23:30SPEAKER_08: I don't remember what was uh what was discussed.
- 23:32SPEAKER_12: I thought it was just I thought we were just playing.
- 23:34SPEAKER_12: So did I.
- 23:35SPEAKER_10: So I'm not supposed to be only why they want to talk about the music, because we're just gonna do what we do.
- 23:40SPEAKER_12: See, this is this is why we don't play weddings.
- 23:43SPEAKER_10: It's true.
- 23:43SPEAKER_10: We're playing this wedding because he's a dear friend.
- 23:46SPEAKER_10: Yes.
- 23:47SPEAKER_10: So um Um But yeah, you're right.
- 23:50SPEAKER_10: That's why we don't do weddings.
- 23:51SPEAKER_10: Because you just can't please anyone.
- 23:54SPEAKER_10: It's true, man.
- 23:55SPEAKER_10: It is true.
- 23:55SPEAKER_12: And it's hard.
- 23:56SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 23:56SPEAKER_12: It's hard, you know.
- 23:57SPEAKER_12: If you're a wedding band, hat's off too.
- 24:00SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.
- 24:01SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 24:02SPEAKER_12: But it's hard it's hard to play with.
- 24:04SPEAKER_10: But if you're a wedding band, you rehearse all the time.
- 24:07SPEAKER_10: Yeah, and we don't.
- 24:08SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 24:09SPEAKER_10: That's the problem.
- 24:10SPEAKER_10: And uh you are prepared for other things that, you know, like Well, you know all the music.
- 24:17SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 24:17SPEAKER_12: That people want to hear about it.
- 24:19SPEAKER_12: You know the chicken dance.
- 24:20SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 24:21SPEAKER_12: And we're I don't care if we knew the chicken dance, I don't know how to play.
- 24:28SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 24:29SPEAKER_12: Um I'm not playing the Macarena.
- 24:31SPEAKER_12: Nope.
- 24:32SPEAKER_12: I don't know how to play the Macarena.
- 24:34SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 24:34SPEAKER_12: I barely know how to do the Macarena.
- 24:37SPEAKER_12: So that's out.
- 24:39SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 24:39SPEAKER_12: Uh I'm not doing But see, is uh is that even a thing anymore?
- 24:42SPEAKER_12: I mean Oh yeah, it's still a thing.
- 24:44SPEAKER_12: But I mean we played it at ATLC.
- 24:46SPEAKER_12: The kids lost their collective crap.
- 24:48SPEAKER_12: Really?
- 24:48SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 24:49SPEAKER_12: They love it, man.
- 24:50SPEAKER_12: I don't get it.
- 24:51SPEAKER_12: That's so me just sad.
- 24:54SPEAKER_10: They love it, man.
- 24:55SPEAKER_10: I would think that at a wedding in 2022 it would be something different instead of the Macarena, but I suppose that had such a cultural impact.
- 25:03SPEAKER_10: Dude, it it's up there with the foxtrot.
- 25:05SPEAKER_10: Just like I'm too sexy.
- 25:07SPEAKER_12: Too sexy for my shirt.
- 25:08SPEAKER_12: Too sexy for my shirt.
- 25:10SPEAKER_14: So sexy it hurts.
- 25:13SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 25:14SPEAKER_10: You know, I think that guy Right said Fred.
- 25:16SPEAKER_10: Right said Fred, yeah.
- 25:17SPEAKER_10: I think I read something or heard something about uh they're still touring and they're making and they're making money.
- 25:23SPEAKER_10: Why?
- 25:24SPEAKER_10: I don't know.
- 25:25SPEAKER_10: Because they don't have to.
- 25:26SPEAKER_10: With that one song, probably.
- 25:28SPEAKER_12: Yeah, but who's who's going out to hear that one song when you can play it on your iPod?
- 25:33SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 25:34SPEAKER_10: There's something about live music that I guess so.
- 25:38SPEAKER_12: I mean, doesn't I guess it doesn't matter, man.
- 25:40SPEAKER_12: That's just crazy though.
- 25:41SPEAKER_12: I mean, what what what what happens when they do they have other songs?
- 25:44SPEAKER_12: They must.
- 25:45SPEAKER_12: They must, but I don't know any.
- 25:47SPEAKER_12: It must be a very short show.
- 25:49SPEAKER_10: I would think.
- 25:49SPEAKER_10: You know.
- 25:50SPEAKER_12: I'm thinking like Beatles ask, you know, Beatles on Ed Sullivan short.
- 25:54SPEAKER_10: I am yeah.
- 25:55SPEAKER_10: I was uh listening to I was driving my car today.
- 25:59SPEAKER_10: Good for you.
- 26:00SPEAKER_10: Actually, was it today?
- 26:01SPEAKER_10: It might have been yesterday.
- 26:02SPEAKER_10: Um but it's good to know a skill.
- 26:06SPEAKER_10: I I uh turned it on uh series XM.
- 26:10SPEAKER_10: Of course.
- 26:11SPEAKER_10: And you know, I dial around.
- 26:12SPEAKER_10: I have you know my favorite stations.
- 26:14SPEAKER_10: Sure.
- 26:14SPEAKER_10: And don't we all?
- 26:16SPEAKER_10: I had I put it on watercolors.
- 26:18SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah.
- 26:19SPEAKER_10: Which is like a smooth jazz.
- 26:22SPEAKER_10: Smooth jazz, yeah.
- 26:23SPEAKER_12: It's like it's like it's like it's like Kenny G Land.
- 26:26SPEAKER_12: It's funny that you say that because this is a Kenny G song?
- 26:29SPEAKER_10: Well do you remember this song?
- 26:32SPEAKER_10: I do.

- 29:34SPEAKER_10: I don't know why I'm sharing this with you, it just came to my head.
- 30:12SPEAKER_10: But again, that was nineteen eighty-nine.
- 30:15SPEAKER_10: You know, things were different back then.
- 30:17SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah.
- 30:17SPEAKER_10: Now you have to have like dancers and crap.
- 30:20SPEAKER_12: Yeah.

- 30:24SPEAKER_12: Kenny G dancers.
- 30:25SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 30:26SPEAKER_10: Um, but I I I loved just like going from like I'll sometimes I'll tell my wife, I say, I need to go to the store.
- 30:33SPEAKER_10: I should I hope she doesn't listen to this.
- 30:35SPEAKER_10: I need to go to the store.
- 30:36SPEAKER_10: I don't really need to go to the store.
- 30:38SPEAKER_10: You just want to listen to music.
- 30:39SPEAKER_10: I just want to go in my car and just crank some tunes.
- 30:41SPEAKER_10: Crank some tunes a little bit because you know, and she she'll she'll say that she hasn't done it before, but she has, you know, where she's gotta get away from the kids or something like that.
- 30:52SPEAKER_10: So she'll run an errand quote, quote unquote, and just go and be.
- 30:57SPEAKER_10: And so that's sometimes I do that, but it's just to it's just to listen to tunes.
- 31:02SPEAKER_10: And I love dialing around series exit.
- 31:04SPEAKER_10: I I can't listen to the radio anymore.
- 31:06SPEAKER_12: Well, because it's all commercials.
- 31:08SPEAKER_10: It's all commercials.
- 31:09SPEAKER_10: It's all the same songs.
- 31:10SPEAKER_10: Or or all the same songs.
- 31:11SPEAKER_10: Yeah, absolutely.
- 31:12SPEAKER_12: You're really not getting much out of terrestrial radio.
- 31:14SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 31:16SPEAKER_10: Um but I found some other, I don't know what I did, but oh my phone's here.
- 31:19SPEAKER_10: I found some other channels.

- 31:39SPEAKER_10: Oh yeah, yeah.
- 31:40SPEAKER_10: Yeah, so I've got those in my favorites.
- 31:42SPEAKER_10: Um the deep cuts, I think, sometimes are better than the actual.
- 31:45SPEAKER_12: Well, yeah, I mean if you listen to like 80s on eight, eventually you're gonna start hearing all the same songs over and over.
- 31:52SPEAKER_12: That's true.
- 31:52SPEAKER_12: But if you listen to the deep cuts, you'll hear stuff like where was this?
- 31:57SPEAKER_12: I don't ever remember hearing this.
- 31:58SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 31:59SPEAKER_10: And not only that, you'll you'll hear songs that you loved at the time, but when you think of 80s stations, they don't play them.

- 33:18SPEAKER_10: Remember that song, No Looking Back?
- 33:20SPEAKER_10: Oh, yeah, yeah.
- 33:20SPEAKER_10: And we we obviously remember the Michael McDonald version because they wrote it together, I think.
- 33:25SPEAKER_12: Yeah.

- 33:30SPEAKER_12: Well, because it's Michael McDonald.
- 33:32SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 33:33SPEAKER_10: So um I heard Kenny Loggins is kind of a D-bag.
- 33:37SPEAKER_10: A little a little bit.
- 33:38SPEAKER_10: So I heard um, I was actually listening to uh Deep Cuts, uh, I think it was Yacht Rock Deep Cuts, um, which I don't like as much.

- 35:13SPEAKER_10: That's just not like it's a different key.
- 35:19SPEAKER_10: I'm sure it is.
- 35:21SPEAKER_10: Kenny Loggins' voice is is a lot higher than Michael Loggins.
- 35:24SPEAKER_10: Um, but I mean, this is the one.
- 35:27SPEAKER_12: Yeah, see, this is the one I like.
- 35:29SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 35:29SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you know, is that because we know it?
- 35:32SPEAKER_10: Probably.
- 35:33SPEAKER_12: Or is it because it's just that's it just because it's Michael McDonald.
- 35:38SPEAKER_10: Yeah.

- 55:09SPEAKER_10: Wow.
- 55:09SPEAKER_10: They should have called themselves something cooler.

- 55:26SPEAKER_08: Because I would have written it down.
- 55:29SPEAKER_10: I remember talking about their last studio album.
- 55:33SPEAKER_10: But maybe it wasn't for Wall of Tunes.
- 55:35SPEAKER_12: It might have not been.
- 55:36SPEAKER_12: I mean, because we've talked about if I wrote down all the bands we talked about and all the musical artists, it would be a much longer list.
- 55:43SPEAKER_12: I would probably have needed another book.

- 58:15SPEAKER_10: And then you get say you will.
- 58:18SPEAKER_10: This one is kind of cool.
- 58:21SPEAKER_10: You might remember the original version of this.

- 58:29SPEAKER_03: Say you will! Oh yeah.
- 58:31SPEAKER_03: I know this one, okay.
- 58:36SPEAKER_03: It's called Say You Will.
- 58:38SPEAKER_10: This is kind of a neat version.
- 58:47SPEAKER_01: Nice clue.
- 58:49SPEAKER_13: Thank you.
- 58:51SPEAKER_12: Oh, you meant oh.
- 58:55SPEAKER_12: Easy.
- 58:56SPEAKER_12: Stand down, stand down.
- 59:04SPEAKER_10: Warner was in the news this past week.
- 59:07SPEAKER_10: I'm gonna tell you a lot here in a second.
- 59:16SPEAKER_10: I just dig this kind of thing.
- 59:17SPEAKER_10: Yeah, that's pretty cool.
- 59:18SPEAKER_10: You know, where they make it completely new.
- 59:22SPEAKER_10: They reinvent it.
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_10: Anyway.
- 1:00:07SPEAKER_10: Uh it's pretty cool.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_10: It's it's an orchestra and chorus with all these great hits.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_10: You know, that you know from foreigner.
- 1:00:13SPEAKER_12: You know, that's the great thing about music.
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_12: They're playing, well, I mean, it doesn't really count because it's Brazil.
- 1:00:19SPEAKER_12: They speak all the languages apparently.
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_12: But you know, you can take this, you can play in Japan, you can play in China, you can play in, you know, Brazil, you can play, you can play, you can play your songs anywhere.
- 1:00:31SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:00:32SPEAKER_12: And people can, you know, you can't you can't go and just like give a speech in your native language in another country, and people be, you know, get the same reaction as the unit.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_12: But music, it doesn't matter.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_10: Yeah, you're absolutely right.
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_10: That's the beauty of music.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_10: It's the universal language.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_10: It really, really is.
- 1:00:48SPEAKER_10: So awesome, man.
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_10: Yep.
- 1:00:49SPEAKER_10: That's what I like about it.
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_10: The um so uh Lou Graham, the original lead singer.
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:00:56SPEAKER_10: There's a whole story about uh, you know, how Lou Graham had the brain tumor and everything and was in and out of foreigners like that.
- 1:01:03SPEAKER_10: If you watch the behind the music.
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_12: And he did that album of Metallica.
- 1:01:07SPEAKER_12: Lou Graham did?
- 1:01:08SPEAKER_12: That's Lou Reed.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah.
- 1:01:09SPEAKER_12: I think you always get them.
- 1:01:11SPEAKER_07: I think the last time we talked about Ford Red, you gave it the same place to Lou.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_12: It throws me off because how many rock stars are named Lou?
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_12: You know what I mean?
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_12: There's two.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_12: So you got a 50-50 shot of getting the right guy.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_10: So he was on uh a podcast that's on YouTube, and I want to say it's it's a Canadian podcast.
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_10: I want to say, I wish I could actually.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_10: So it's in metric?
- 1:01:35SPEAKER_10: No.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_10: Um it's rock history.
- 1:01:40SPEAKER_10: Uh I want to give him credit here.
- 1:01:42SPEAKER_10: Rock history music.
- 1:01:43SPEAKER_10: That's the name of it.
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_10: Rock history music.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_10: Wouldn't it be rock music history?
- 1:01:48SPEAKER_10: I know, but maybe that was taken.
- 1:01:51SPEAKER_10: He does a great job, though.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_10: Okay.
- 1:01:53SPEAKER_10: And so he interviewed uh Lou Graham, and Lou Graham is pretty bitter about uh, you know, he um he you know that whole I Wanna Know what love is, arguably their biggest hit?
- 1:02:04SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_10: Um he contributed to that song, but Mick Jones didn't give him any credit.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_10: Oh.
- 1:02:10SPEAKER_10: Um, and and there's just a lot of bitterness there.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_10: So uh he said that and he was talking about Kelly Hansen, who's the guy that replaced him, who's the guy that's uh singing right now.
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_10: Um and he actually said, you know, Kelly is a is a good singer, but he said, but he thinks he was told by Mick to sound like Lou.
- 1:02:33SPEAKER_10: He's like, Don't don't hang your coat on my hook.
- 1:02:37SPEAKER_10: Sing your sing your own, sing your the way you sing, don't sing the way I sing.
- 1:02:41SPEAKER_10: Maybe that's the way he sings.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_10: It's well, it's not because he was in a band called Hurricane, and he didn't sound anything like Lou in her in Hurricane.
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_10: But there goes that theory.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_10: But uh I just thought that was and he meant it out of you know, he he meant it out of Well, yeah, just out of, you know, yeah, I get it.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_10: He wasn't it wasn't out of out of out of disdain or anything, but he was like because he's he's angry with Mick.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_10: Sure.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_10: Still.
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_10: So they got into the songwriter's hall of fame together.
- 1:03:09SPEAKER_10: Um and then he they went out on this anniversary tour, uh, but then he kind of poo-pooed on the idea of him ever doing anything with Foreigner again.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_10: Sure.
- 1:03:16SPEAKER_10: Uh Mick Jones apparently is in poor health.
- 1:03:19SPEAKER_10: Uh he comes out during a Foreigner show and uh plays one song and waves to the crowd and then leaves.
- 1:03:25SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:03:26SPEAKER_10: Um and there are no original members in Foreigner now.
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_12: I was about to say Jeff Pilson's playing.
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_10: Jeff Pilson is is in the and he but uh he's been in what, twenty years?
- 1:03:34SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I was about to say because he's basically a member now.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_12: So but you know what's important is the songs.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_12: Yeah, the the songs continue.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:03:43SPEAKER_12: It doesn't matter who's playing them.
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:03:45SPEAKER_10: I mean it it kind of does, but as long as the songs continue, and that's that's I was thinking about Kiss.
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_10: That's the beauty of cover bands.
- 1:03:51SPEAKER_10: I was thinking about KISS.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_10: Because Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have always said that, you know, anybody could wear the makeup.
- 1:03:58SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:03:59SPEAKER_10: As long as the songs and the and the show went on.
- 1:04:02SPEAKER_10: Didn't we How do you feel about that?
- 1:04:03SPEAKER_10: Didn't we talk about that?
- 1:04:04SPEAKER_10: We might have a long time ago.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:04:06SPEAKER_10: Um because wasn't there they were gonna like have like four new guys.
- 1:04:10SPEAKER_12: It was gonna be like the you know, the dread pirate Roberts, you know, it was like, you know, you know, anybody could wear the makeup and go out and be KISS, you know, that way Kiss is kind of immortal.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_12: Right.
- 1:04:20SPEAKER_12: You know?
- 1:04:21SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:04:22SPEAKER_12: It doesn't have to be this, you know, just get some guys in some makeup, yeah.
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_12: You know, like Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, you know.
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 1:04:27SPEAKER_12: See, I don't know how I feel about it.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_12: I don't I mean it's I guess I guess but I mean it's a tribute band.
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_12: Yeah, basically.
- 1:04:35SPEAKER_12: I mean, you know, you're just you're just keeping the music alive.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_12: You're not creating any music, you're just keeping that music alive because people like it.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_10: Right.
- 1:04:42SPEAKER_12: So I I don't see any real harm in it, I guess.
- 1:04:45SPEAKER_12: You know?
- 1:04:46SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:04:47SPEAKER_12: As long as that's not all you do.
- 1:04:49SPEAKER_10: I mean uh we may have talked about this before, but I don't think I think at the time we talked about um this foreigner album from 2009, the only studio album they've done with Kelly Hanson.
- 1:05:00SPEAKER_10: Uh I don't think we were playing music on the podcast at that point.
- 1:05:03SPEAKER_12: I don't remember talking about the album.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_10: I think we did.
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_10: Um but I love this album.
- 1:05:08SPEAKER_10: I discovered it late.
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_10: Um because it came out in 2009, but I discovered it like probably three years ago.
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_10: And I bought it and it's awesome.
- 1:05:19SPEAKER_10: I mean, if if this got any radio play, um there was one song that was one or two songs that was released to radio, and I remember when it was I remember the single um at when I was working at the radio station, but nobody was playing it.
- 1:05:36SPEAKER_10: Um just I'm gonna just give you a sample of the city.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_03: Because I'm ready to flood!
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_10: He has a great voice.
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:06:04SPEAKER_03: Standing still doesn't want to be taking my stop.
- 1:06:07SPEAKER_03: I got places to go.
- 1:06:09SPEAKER_12: It's very crisp.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:06:11SPEAKER_03: But you can't just taste it.
- 1:06:13SPEAKER_03: You feel the heat coming on.
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_03: There's no way to turn back.
- 1:06:21SPEAKER_03: Oh my god.
- 1:06:25unknown: Do it.
- 1:06:43SPEAKER_03: I won't run.
- 1:06:44SPEAKER_03: Chase them down the trees.
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_03: I won't stop down.
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_10: Setchy.
- 1:06:50SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I like it.
- 1:06:52SPEAKER_10: Um the other thing I was thinking, because I've had that uh band from uh with Jason Chef, Generation Radio.
- 1:07:03SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_10: I've had them in my head, that that one song.
- 1:07:06SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:07:06SPEAKER_10: Um that comes out this Friday.
- 1:07:09SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:07:10SPEAKER_10: I'm looking forward to it.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_10: Me too.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_03: It's not where I want to be.
- 1:07:13SPEAKER_10: I miss that kind of music.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:07:15SPEAKER_10: Very melodic rock.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_10: You know?
- 1:07:18SPEAKER_10: And this reminds me of that sort of.
- 1:07:20SPEAKER_03: It feels like we've been here a thousand times.
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_03: Now I think we've crossed the line.
- 1:07:29SPEAKER_03: Don't know how we'll make it through.
- 1:07:33SPEAKER_03: The more it hurts, the more it seems so clear.
- 1:07:39SPEAKER_03: I'm asking you, where do we come from here?
- 1:07:53SPEAKER_03: And be sex, a broken heart shadowed all around.
- 1:07:58SPEAKER_10: I just I really like the guy's voice and I think it's very melodic and they're they're very um catchy tunes.
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_10: Um play I'll just play one or two more.
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_10: And this one, there's a version of this song on this orchestra album.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_10: When it comes to love.
- 1:08:21SPEAKER_10: So this must have been a single, but I don't remember it anywhere.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_10: No, I don't remember it.
- 1:08:24SPEAKER_10: And it's a great song.
- 1:08:25SPEAKER_10: When it comes to love is what it's called.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_05: I remember the day that seems so far away when I walked into your life.
- 1:08:34SPEAKER_10: Kind of cliche lyrics, but oh well.
- 1:08:37SPEAKER_05: I would took you by surprise, but it felt so right.
- 1:08:57SPEAKER_03: Giving your heart to me.
- 1:09:04SPEAKER_10: See?
- 1:09:04SPEAKER_10: Catchy.
- 1:09:05SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_10: Alright, two more.
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_10: This is the single that I remember at the radio station.
- 1:09:12SPEAKER_10: This is very foreigner.
- 1:09:16SPEAKER_12: Right?
- 1:09:28SPEAKER_10: Right?
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_10: I mean that's not foreigner.
- 1:09:30SPEAKER_10: That's foreigner.
- 1:09:31SPEAKER_10: It's called Too Late.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_10: And I'll play a little bit of this one.
- 1:09:35SPEAKER_10: It's called Lonely.
- 1:09:43SPEAKER_12: It's pop rock.
- 1:09:45SPEAKER_12: Yeah, I will say it, isn't it?
- 1:09:50SPEAKER_10: But when the git hits the chords, it's very catchy.
- 1:10:00SPEAKER_03: Lost the time with the bag.
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_10: Anyway, that wasn't the album that I chose for the Wall of Tunes, but I just, well, you know, I wanted to play some of that.
- 1:10:32SPEAKER_10: But I mean, on the album, uh, the orchestra album, you've got everything from Urgent, Double Vision, feels like the first time, all with a full orchestra and chorus.
- 1:10:41SPEAKER_10: It's it's pretty cool.
- 1:10:42SPEAKER_10: But um that song, that album that you're listening to right now is called Can't Slow Down.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_10: It came out in 2009.
- 1:10:48SPEAKER_12: Well, what was the album we talked about?
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_12: This one?
- 1:10:51SPEAKER_12: The orchestra one?
- 1:10:52SPEAKER_10: It is called Um Just Foreigner with the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra and Chorus.
- 1:10:58SPEAKER_12: Oh, okay.
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_10: Gotcha.
- 1:10:59SPEAKER_10: Yeah.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_10: So and I and it is out of Switzerland, I believe.
- 1:11:03SPEAKER_10: Mine comes with uh I although I've never watched it, it comes with a DVD too.
- 1:11:07SPEAKER_10: Oh there you go, man.
- 1:11:08SPEAKER_10: Yeah, I should probably watch that at some point.
- 1:11:10SPEAKER_10: You should, dude.
- 1:11:11SPEAKER_10: Um but you know, I I really I really dig that to can't slow down album.
- 1:11:16SPEAKER_10: I wish more people could hear that.
- 1:11:18SPEAKER_12: Well, they just did.
- 1:11:19SPEAKER_10: They just did.
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_10: Alright, that's it, that's the Wall of Tunes, and that's episode 13, season six.
- 1:11:25SPEAKER_10: Because we're way over.
- 1:11:27SPEAKER_10: Actually, I don't know what's way over.
- 1:11:30SPEAKER_10: We can go however long we want to go.
- 1:11:33SPEAKER_12: It's very then.
- 1:11:35SPEAKER_12: What is very then?
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_12: Our time is no time.
- 1:12:25SPEAKER_13: On that note, it's time to close up shop.
- 1:12:30SPEAKER_13: This podcast has got like we've asked the question twice.
- 1:12:37SPEAKER_13: Why do people listen to this again?
- 1:12:38SPEAKER_12: People are they're probably just like, you know, one of these times, they're just gonna either like start a fist fight, or they're gonna just like explode like the drummer in Spinal Tap.
- 1:12:49SPEAKER_12: Or, you know, you know, aliens are gonna kidnap them, or something something, something just they never know what's gonna happen.
- 1:12:56SPEAKER_12: I think that's what the people I think that's why people tune into us.
- 1:12:59SPEAKER_12: Because they never know what's gonna happen.
- 1:13:01SPEAKER_12: Which is true.
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_12: They always know there's gonna be a wall of tunes.
- 1:13:04SPEAKER_12: That's about the only constant, pretty much.
- 1:13:07SPEAKER_12: Other than that, you know, y it could just go off the rails at any second.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 1:13:12SPEAKER_12: You know?
- 1:13:13SPEAKER_12: Yep.
- 1:13:13SPEAKER_12: Because we are, I don't know, infantile, I guess.
- 1:13:16SPEAKER_10: Oh yes.
- 1:13:17SPEAKER_10: Well, it's funny uh uh w my wife and I were out for a walk and you showed up to do the podcast.
- 1:13:24SPEAKER_10: You rolled down your window, and it was like it was like something happened to me.
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_13: I was like, you can park over there.
- 1:13:33SPEAKER_12: Can I really?
- 1:13:34SPEAKER_13: Well, I pulled up to you, Joe.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_12: I was like, hey kids, I got candy.
- 1:13:38SPEAKER_13: But you're right, it's we're very infantile.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_12: I don't know.
- 1:13:41SPEAKER_12: That's just that's just the way we are.
- 1:13:43SPEAKER_10: You gotta live life, you know, you gotta have fun.
- 1:13:45SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you gotta, man, because adult life sucks.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_12: It does.
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_12: It really sucks.
- 1:13:49SPEAKER_12: It really does.
- 1:13:50SPEAKER_12: It's nice to be able to just be silly.
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
- 1:13:53SPEAKER_12: Silly and stupid and whatever we are.
- 1:13:56SPEAKER_10: But for tonight we're done being silly and stupid, so I don't want to be done.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_12: Well, we're done.
- 1:13:59SPEAKER_08: Well, I'm not done.
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna stop I'm gonna hit stop.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_08: Whatever.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_08: Didn't I threaten the last time?
- 1:14:04SPEAKER_08: I'm gonna turn it off.
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_08: Okay.
- 1:14:08SPEAKER_01: What have you gotta do, man?
- 1:14:13SPEAKER_01: Oh god, dare you.
- 1:14:14SPEAKER_01: Double dog, dare you.
- 1:14:16SPEAKER_13: And then the podcast just ends.
- 1:14:22SPEAKER_01: People are like, oh, what are they gonna do?
- 1:14:24SPEAKER_01: Are they gonna end it?
- 1:14:25SPEAKER_01: You really turned it off.
- 1:14:27SPEAKER_01: You really shut it off.
- 1:14:28SPEAKER_01: You shut it off and I can't believe you shut it off.
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_01: What is going on with those guys?
- 1:14:35SPEAKER_01: They're rebel! You never know what they're gonna do, they're gonna go crazy!
- 1:14:40SPEAKER_13: I'm gonna edit it that way too.
- 1:14:45SPEAKER_13: And we're done.
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_13: Alright, that's it.
