  SPEAKER_12: But it's nostalgic.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_12: It's like Well, it doesn't happen anymore.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_06: No, it doesn't.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_06: You know.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_12: You know, uh it's uh uh I should try and find something like that on on uh on YouTube or something because that's you know, like Sunny and 75, and here's the new one from what I think of is uh the the second Rains World movie with Harry Shearer.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_11: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_11: He was in he's in radio for a long time.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_06: But then when he talks but when he goes when he's off the when he's off the mic, he's talking to like a really nerdy guy.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_06: When he's on the air.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_06: Oh no, it was that, but there was another oh it was that 70s show.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_06: Was it that 70s show or was it um No, it was that 70s show because it was just like I can't remember Vic Thunder or something like that.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_06: And he had this really and then he came out and he was like, You guys want to play Dungeons and Dragons?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_06: It was it was the 70s show or was it Airheads?
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_12: It could have been neither one, but Yeah, the one with the Adam Sandler movie with the the where they break into the radio station and hold him hostage.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_12: I can't remember if if Harry Shearer was the.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_06: I can't remember, but I remember he was on the second Waynes World movie.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_06: And uh there was a there was a bit, you know, back in on the that 70s show with uh the guy that played Booger in all the movies.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, yeah.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 3:13
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I know.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_06: He was the DJ.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_06: He had this DJ voice, and then he came out, you know, he's a little short guy, and he's like, Hey, you guys want to play Dungeons and Dragons?
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_12: You know, that it used to be so and I hate to be one of those guys back back in the day it was even it was better than it is today.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_12: But it's true because um the uh being a radio guy, a radio announcer or whatever, was uh multitasking.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you know, and you've seen it.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, because it's like and and when we were on the air together, it was fairly easy.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_12: But when I started back in the 89, I guess.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_12: 89 or 90, yeah.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_12: I was fifteen.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_12: Um there were still turntables.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, right, yeah.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_12: You know, so we had a combination of what they call cart machines, where they play the commercials from.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_12: And eventually, like in the mid-90s, they started playing songs from carts, which sounded like crap.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, whatever.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_12: So so you had cart machines, and you usually had three cart machines, um, which were like eight tracks almost.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_12: And those had their commercials on them.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, we had cart machines at the college station.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_12: So and then you had CD players, and if it was a big time radio station, you had uh CD cartridges, which means instead of opening up a CD player and putting the C D in, there was a C D in a cartridge.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, you just kind of put it in the CD cart machine.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_12: And then you also had vinyl.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_12: You know, and you also had to answer the phone.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_12: And you also had to get the weather.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_12: And if you're at a news uh station that does news, you gotta get the news because you're the only guy there.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_12: And you're juggling things, and A, it was a lot of fun, and B, it made the day, the shift go by really quickly.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_12: Uh, and it made you want to go to work.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and and and and people relied on you to be uh in a good mood, play good music, uh, help them through their day and stuff like that.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_12: It was awesome.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_12: And then we got rid of the carts, we got rid of the CDs for the most part.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_12: No more vinyl.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_12: Um, and everything is digital.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_12: So when we were on the radio together, I mean we played CDs because we wanted to.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_12: We wanted to, yeah.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_12: Uh because it was a request show.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_12: You know, everything.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_12: But uh but the the the commercials and the um songs were all digital.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_12: Yep.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_12: And you just had to push a button, and it was boring as hell.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, we had to make the most of it, obviously, because we we we talked to the listeners a lot.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_11: Yeah.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_12: You know, and and take calls and put those calls on the air and stuff like that.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_12: But it was it was not as fun.

• 6:00
  SPEAKER_06: It was it was a good time, you know.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_05: And you're never gonna get back there.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_12: That's the thing.

• 6:05
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, they they've gotten so far from live DJs, it's not even funny.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, yeah, and it's yeah, which is too bad to think about, but you know, I mean that's it's the nature of the beast.

• 10:42
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_06: So uh yeah.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_12: I um my wife and I went um Friday night.

• 10:55
  SPEAKER_12: Oh yeah, I'm sure.
• 10:56
  SPEAKER_12: Um but I think it's an important movie.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and I don't understand um the press um because like Rolling Stone they say it's I can't remember what they said, but basically they're saying it's for conspiracy theorists.
• 11:21
  SPEAKER_12: Well, this is no conspiracy.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_12: Well, I know, and that's what I'm saying.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_12: If you can't get let's so I and I was talking to my wife about this.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_12: So if you're talking about the abortion debate, okay?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_12: And and you're talking about the media and the press and everything.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_12: Okay, so there's two sides.
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_12: Right?
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_12: There's pro-choice and there's pro-life.
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_12: There's always going to be.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 11:45
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and they're always gonna go at each other, and they're always gonna, you know, um say you know, they all got their talking points.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_12: Unless you think there is no such thing as child sex trafficking, which side are you on?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_06: Well, that's the thing.
• 12:05
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, you can't if if you're denying that, then you've got bigger problems because it is going on.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_06: Of course it is, you know?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_06: And to deny that makes me think you're siding with them.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_06: It's like, oh no, that's not happening.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_06: That's just that's just conspiracy theory.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_06: You guys are making well, I hate to tell you this, but the conspiracy theorists lately are winning.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_12: Yes, it's true.
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_06: So, I mean, it's going on.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_12: Uh I read a I read a review from uh Rolling Stone.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_12: Actually, somebody shared a meme, and and I don't want to spend a lot of time on this, but somebody shared a meme of a do you remember that movie um Cuties?
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_12: I think it was on Netflix.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_06: Oh, yeah, it was like a documentary series.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, on gur uh pageants or something.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_12: Right, but it was like they were and they were strutting, you know, and it was very it was sexploitation, basically basically is what it was.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_12: And so uh Rolling Stone had written a thing, this this reporter had written a thing about this movie and saying uh it was pulled or whatever, but it it deserves uh uh a second look because all it was was this and there was nothing wrong with it, and people should go see it and blah blah blah blah blah.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_12: And then right under that it had a review of Sound of Freedom, and it was like, you know, this is uh QAnon and it's conspiracy theorists, you know, and it's just like are you a pedophile?

• 13:53
  SPEAKER_06: You know, right.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_06: You know, things that are good are being portrayed as evil and people are, you know, it's demonic is what it is.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_06: It's becoming that way, and it's it's getting more and more powerful.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_06: So, you know, you you know, you gotta be like, you know, Jesus can come anytime now.

  SPEAKER_12: And and that's they they say some if you go see the movie, once the movie ends, just to give you a heads up, uh, when the credits start rolling, there's a countdown and it says special message coming in two minutes.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_12: So everybody kind of sits through the credits.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_12: And it's Jim Cavizel.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and he gets very passionate and very emotional about this topic.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_12: And basically he and he spouts some facts, and I found this really hard to believe.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_12: I think I do believe it, but I found it hard to believe.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_12: In uh uh in all of the years previous uh when you had the African slave trade and you had uh indentured servitude in in Britain and even even the slave trade over in Europe and and all that stuff, and then obviously came eventually came over here.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_12: Uh you know we outlawed slavery, which was a good thing, but that doesn't mean it stopped.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_06: No, it's still going.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_12: And he this is the the statistic that blew me away.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_12: There are more people enslaved in one way or another, today than all of those previous years combined.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_06: Well, it's funny you mentioned that because that movie Nefarious.
• 15:30
  SPEAKER_12: Yes, which I haven't seen yet.
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_06: You gotta see it, man.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_06: But he he's he's like, you know, because the guy, the psychologist, is going, oh yeah, we're you know, literacy is down and you know, people can do this and we have more freedom.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_06: Of course, shot back, you know, he's a he's a demon.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 15:48
  SPEAKER_06: You know, possessed by a demon, and he's just like he's like he just looks at him and he goes, I think I love you.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_06: And then he he starts spouting off all these facts, and he's like, he's like, there are more slaves, there are 40 million slaves now, which is more than there was at the in the Roman Empire at its height.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_06: And he's like, half of that are sex slaves.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_06: And I'm like, I was like, I was like Right.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_12: They use that number.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_12: They said over 30 million, but I mean that's totally the same.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 16:14
  SPEAKER_12: But it's like uh I I don't know uh what do you do from here?
• 16:22
  SPEAKER_12: I mean it's great that the movie came out, and there's another movie uh based on because Tim Tim uh Ballard um I saw an interview with him where he said of course we're still talking about this, uh you know we're supposed to be talking about music.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_12: But anyway, Tim Ballard d did an interview where he said that uh when Russia invaded Ukraine um that his wife came to him and said, You have to go to Ukraine.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_12: And he was like, you know, after why?
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_12: You know, because something's telling me that you have to go to Ukraine.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_12: So he said, Okay.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_12: So he went to Ukraine, and I guess there were some orphans there that needed, you know, Oh, there's a lot of orphans in the Ukraine.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_12: Right, that needed needed help.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 16:59
  SPEAKER_12: And so he went over there and come to find out they busted up one of the biggest sex trade rings.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_12: I'm not surprised, man.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_12: Um that led all the way to Ecuador.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_07: Oh, yeah.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_12: And that is being made into uh a a series.
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, I'm sure, yeah.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_12: With Mel Gibson and Yeah, and um Tony Robbins, I guess, is is funding it, is producing it.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_12: Really?
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_12: Interesting.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, it is interesting.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_12: But so my point is so these guys are making these movies and uh making people aware of what's going on, because it is going on.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_12: But what do we do?
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, that's do what you can, but it's not gonna get better.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 17:46
  SPEAKER_12: I mean I I I don't know how to combat the situation.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_12: I mean, I want to, and uh and I'm sure most of us do.
• 17:54
  SPEAKER_06: Well, I don't think as humans we can.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_06: Because this is the dark side of humanity.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_06: And you're not gonna fix that.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_09: Yeah.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_06: You can't.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_06: So you can just do what you can, but it's not going to go away.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_06: So I'm a realist.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_06: I just I just say what I think.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_06: I don't care anymore.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_06: I'm too old.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_06: That's right.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_12: Well, we should have did we mention that last time?
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_12: Well, we didn't mention that last time.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_12: We won't give his name, but one of our friends.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_12: Uh did we talk about it?
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_12: You're sure?
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_12: I don't know what you're talking about.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_12: Uh when we were at Sput Speedway.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_12: Oh, yeah, we talked about that.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_12: We did talk about that.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_12: And you've adopted that attitude.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I just I just don't care.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_06: And just I'm gonna do it and say whatever I want, because I'm old and I don't care anymore.
• 18:45
  SPEAKER_06: I'm on the downside.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_06: Uh I'm gonna enjoy the ride down.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_06: There you go.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_06: So if you don't like it, go pound sand.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_12: There you go.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_12: Um here's one thing I was doing before you got here.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_12: And that is Do I want to know?
• 19:03
  SPEAKER_12: I was watching um first time reaction videos.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_12: Or like you know, some sometimes I I watch those just to see like like music?
• 19:12
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, especially if it's an artist that I like.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_12: And I happened to I'm friends with Jude Cole on Facebook, and he happened to share one um that they did of him, of one of his songs.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_12: And uh he said it made him smile and blah blah blah.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_12: So I went and I watched, and they did two more Jude Cole songs.
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_12: Um and they did a bunch of other stuff too.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_12: I'm not gonna give the the name of the the thing, but my question is if you like where am I?
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_12: I was uh I was also watching this uh Justin Timberlake uh Chris Stapleton, they were reacting to that um performance on there.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_12: Now are they living under a rock?
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_12: Like do you think this is really their first time seeing these?
• 20:09
  SPEAKER_06: Well, there's a lot of artists.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_06: There's a lot of artists out there that I've never listened to.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_06: People go on and on and about I wouldn't know anything.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_12: Right, but if you saw um if you saw someone reacting to Sweet Home Alabama Yeah, I'm I'm I'd be like, where have you been?
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_06: But there are people reacting to But I'm sure.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_06: I mean there I'm sure there's people who have never heard it.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_06: I mean it only makes sense.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_06: I mean if you're only Right.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_06: You know, you're only brought up listening to one kind of music, then you're not gonna know.
• 20:41
  SPEAKER_12: I suppose how much of it is because like and I mean of course this is just the the um cynic in me.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_12: You know, they start a YouTube channel and they need subscribers.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_12: And to to make money, and they need clicks.
• 21:01
  SPEAKER_12: And so, like uh first time reacting to Chris Stapleton Tennessee whiskey.
• 21:09
  SPEAKER_06: That's possible.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_06: You think so?
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_06: I think that's entirely possible.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_12: First time reacting to Justin Timberlake.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, that I find hard to believe, because that guy's been around for since the nineties.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_06: I mean he's been around 30 years.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_06: Easily.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_12: But I mean this uh this uh Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton performance was five years ago.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_12: Um first time hearing Lionel Richie dancing on the ceiling.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_06: That's been the eighties, man.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_06: I mean that's been 40.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_06: But I mean, if you're if you're a millennial, this is probably new to you.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, this is like they'll be like us discovering the Beatles when we were kids.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_09: I suppose that's true.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, I g I you know it's I guess when something in It's hard for us to imagine because we're we expose ourselves to all kinds of music.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 21:58
  SPEAKER_06: So when somebody is like Oh, I've never heard that.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_06: I'm always surprised.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_06: I'm like, what how have you never heard this?
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_06: But then you gotta think, well, maybe they just don't bother.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, they're like, Oh, I'm not interested.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_12: It's true.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_12: And the same thing can be said for like movies, like classic movies.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_06: And there's like, I've never seen Casablanca.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_06: Really?
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_06: Never seen it.
• 22:19
  SPEAKER_06: I have no desire to see it.
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_06: I really don't care.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, I know what it's about, but I really I mean, am I dying to see it?
• 22:27
  SPEAKER_06: No.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_06: So.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, and I can understand that a little more because movies aren't as in in our in our consciousness as music is.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_12: You know, so I can understand that.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_06: Um But I mean, up I mean, like up here, I mean we have very limited choices in radio.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_08: Right.
• 22:47
  SPEAKER_06: So if you you know, so if if you're only if there's only like one station around and that all they play is adult contemporary, you're not gonna hear Stevie Ravon.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 23:00
  SPEAKER_06: You're not gonna hear B.B.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_06: King.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_06: You're not gonna hear Rush.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_06: Even in the age of Spotify and Well, I mean, now there's no excuse because it's all over the place.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_12: Right.
• 23:09
  SPEAKER_12: Well, that's why I can't.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, everybody's got here.
• 23:11
  SPEAKER_06: But I mean, if but if you don't want to look for it, you're not gonna find it.
• 23:14
  SPEAKER_06: Right.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_06: You know what I mean?
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_06: If you have no interest in listening to Rush, you're not gonna listen to Rush.
• 23:20
  SPEAKER_06: If you have no interest in listening to Justin Timmerlick, you're not gonna listen to Justin Timmerlick.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_06: So it's just I think it's just a personal choice.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_06: I mean, so when these people do these reaction videos, they're like, I think I think most of it, I think it's genuine, but it's planned.
• 23:36
  unknown: Right.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_06: They're like, oh, I've never heard this, so I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna listen to the you know, oh yeah, react to it, you know.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 23:43
  SPEAKER_06: I don't know.
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_06: It's it's I mean, it's hard to tell if it's genuine or not.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_12: I think um like the first one I watched that they were reacting to Jude Cole's Start the Car.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_06: Okay.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_12: And when they first heard it, and then they're they're kind of grooving and it it looked genuine.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_12: It's like, whoa, this is kind of cool, you know, and then they're listening to the words and stuff like that.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_12: Uh and then they they did three Jude Cole songs, and it was funny because it was six six to eight months ago that they did start the car.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_12: And then they did another Jude Cole song, which was a demo.
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_12: But they said, We're doing a song by Jude Cole.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_12: I've never heard of Jude Cole.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_12: And it's like, uh, you just listened to him six months ago.
• 24:29
  SPEAKER_06: Yeah, see that and then that you're like, Well, okay.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_12: So, and then they did another one from the same album, from the Start the Car album, which I so I shared all of those videos on my Facebook page.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_12: Yeah.
• 24:40
  SPEAKER_12: And I and I tagged Jude Cole in him.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_12: And I said, I'll sing his praises and until you know, until I can't anymore, because he's one of the most underrated artists.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_12: So much soul.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_12: Um, and just I I could go on and on and on about Jude Cole.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_12: Um, he's also Who?
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_12: That's funny.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_12: Um jerk.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_12: Big butthead.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_12: Okay, so uh let's move on to ultimate classicrock.com because um they have our content uh for today and every day.
