4:12
SPEAKER_05: And we had the ultimate gotcha moment with Jordan when uh the wedding song came on.
4:17
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
4:17
SPEAKER_05: That was fancy.
4:19
SPEAKER_07: So here's the thing.
4:20
SPEAKER_07: So so again, this is a long story, and I'm probably gonna get it wrong.
4:24
SPEAKER_07: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go into detail, but I think Chris wrote Chris wrote a song for Jordan.
4:30
SPEAKER_05: A long time ago.
4:31
SPEAKER_05: A long time ago.
4:32
SPEAKER_07: Right.
4:32
SPEAKER_05: And played it for like once.
4:34
SPEAKER_07: Right, and she loved it.
4:35
SPEAKER_07: Yes.
4:36
SPEAKER_07: And so when it came time when when when it came time to think about a first dance, um Chris tried to pull one, well, he did pull one over on Jordan, which is hard to do.
4:48
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, she's because she's pretty sharp.
4:50
SPEAKER_07: Um, and he sent uh a rough version of the song to a couple of us in the band.
4:57
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
4:58
SPEAKER_07: And we recorded our parts, and the uh illustrious um musical director of the syndicate, John Simonoff, Espinoff, um, put it all together, uh, and so the first dance was that very song.
5:12
SPEAKER_07: I just remember she she was listening to it, she's like, I don't know this song.
5:18
SPEAKER_04: I was like, yeah, you're right, you know.
5:21
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, but then when it hit her, yeah, yeah, yeah.
5:23
SPEAKER_05: It was just like it was magical.
5:26
SPEAKER_07: And it came out so good.
5:28
SPEAKER_07: It sounded really, really good.
5:29
SPEAKER_07: Because what we were sent, or what I was sent anyway, I'm not sure what you were sent, but I was sent a uh like a rough uh just a passage of the song, not the whole song.
5:39
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, and so I put a mandolin part on it, and so I was expecting to hear one thing, and instead we got this kind of an opus where I mean there were horns on there, there was uh keyboards, you put congas, I think, on there.
5:55
SPEAKER_05: No, I put a cajon on it.
5:56
SPEAKER_07: Cajone on there, yeah.
5:57
SPEAKER_07: Um and it just came out really well.
6:00
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean I I I listened to it before I did my part, and I was because I was the next to last to uh record my part, so I got to hear everything else.
6:09
SPEAKER_07: Right.
6:09
SPEAKER_05: Because the only person that was recorded after me was Anthony with the keyboards.
6:14
SPEAKER_05: Right.
6:14
SPEAKER_05: And he did a you know, of course, everybody just did a fantastic job.
6:17
SPEAKER_05: It just came out so well.
6:18
SPEAKER_05: Did it have a name?
6:19
SPEAKER_05: Uh not that I know of.
6:21
SPEAKER_05: I never saw a name.
6:22
SPEAKER_05: I never I just I was just like first dance song.
6:25
SPEAKER_05: Right.
6:25
SPEAKER_05: Or wedding song, you know, or that's how it was.
6:28
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, no, it was it was cool.
6:29
SPEAKER_07: And I and I I know I was happy to be a part of it.
6:32
SPEAKER_07: I was too.
6:32
SPEAKER_05: I was very very, very honored.
6:34
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
6:34
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
6:35
SPEAKER_07: So there you go.
6:36
SPEAKER_07: So that's the big thing that happened this weekend.
6:38
SPEAKER_07: Yep.
6:39
SPEAKER_07: Um anything else happened?
6:41
SPEAKER_07: Oh, uh, not to get off the subject, but there's a chance if Amari Cooper does well in tonight's football game, that I will beat my son, Jude.
6:53
SPEAKER_07: All right.
6:54
SPEAKER_07: Which for the I think for the first time ever.
6:56
SPEAKER_05: I'm getting my butt handed to me by Josh, of all people.
6:59
SPEAKER_05: Interesting.
7:00
SPEAKER_05: And Josh was not even paying attention.
7:02
SPEAKER_05: Well, yeah, because Christian McCaffrey went down with a hamstring injury, and now he's out.
7:06
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah.
7:06
SPEAKER_05: So he got a six whole points out of him this week.
7:10
SPEAKER_07: Well, see, if Amari Cooper gets at least ten tonight, and I'm I mean last week.
7:15
SPEAKER_07: I better hope so.
7:16
SPEAKER_07: Last week he only got five.
7:18
SPEAKER_07: But the week before that he got like 40.
7:20
SPEAKER_05: So they're playing at home, so because I got Dak as my starter.
7:23
SPEAKER_05: Right.
7:23
SPEAKER_05: So he better be throwing frickin' Amari Cooper.
7:26
SPEAKER_05: If he can get me ten points uh in the only needs to do is get ten yards and receiving.
7:31
SPEAKER_07: Exactly.
7:32
SPEAKER_07: And that's that's should be should be good.
7:34
SPEAKER_07: That's gonna happen.
7:35
SPEAKER_07: So I'm gonna beat my son.
7:37
SPEAKER_07: There you go.
7:37
SPEAKER_07: That didn't come.
7:42
SPEAKER_07: Um so yeah, that's well, what else is going on?
7:45
SPEAKER_05: Anything?
7:46
SPEAKER_05: Uh Justin Tucker broke a NFL record.
7:49
SPEAKER_05: I didn't hear that.
7:50
SPEAKER_05: 66 yard field goal.
7:52
SPEAKER_05: Oh no, I did hear that.
7:53
SPEAKER_05: Yes, yes.
7:53
SPEAKER_05: Game winner, one second left.
7:55
SPEAKER_07: Actually, I think I saw the footage of that too.
7:58
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, because I didn't I didn't watch a whole lot of football yesterday, but uh it was pretty great.
8:03
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
8:04
SPEAKER_07: There was a few upsets, so some surprising uh outcomes over there.
8:09
SPEAKER_05: The Bucks lost.
8:10
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
8:10
SPEAKER_05: Brady just and Brady Brady got more F bombs than you know we did on Baghdad.
8:16
SPEAKER_05: So um he was not happy.
8:20
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
8:20
SPEAKER_05: Chiefs lost again.
8:22
SPEAKER_05: I know that's uh not surprising because I think the I think the bloom has come off the flower there.
8:28
SPEAKER_08: Yeah.
8:28
SPEAKER_05: Uh because Patrick Mahone and his girlfriend have, you know, well, mostly his girlfriend.
8:34
SPEAKER_05: She's how do I put it?
8:36
SPEAKER_05: Super annoying.
8:38
SPEAKER_05: Um she just she's just a she just says stuff and you know, just like, you know, stuff that normal people would like think, but she says it and she doesn't seem to care.
8:51
SPEAKER_07: Right.
8:52
SPEAKER_05: And his brother is like pouring water on people, and so I mean, I don't know.
8:56
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
8:56
SPEAKER_05: His house is he needs to get his house in order.
8:58
SPEAKER_07: Yep.
8:59
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, it was quite a weekend in uh NFL.
9:02
SPEAKER_07: We uh I don't know if I've ever told you this.
9:04
SPEAKER_07: Um we do a thing in our house.
9:07
SPEAKER_07: Um we do a football pool.
9:09
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
9:09
SPEAKER_07: Uh we're doing it again this this season, so it's just five of us.
9:13
SPEAKER_07: And because two of us, uh the ladies in the house are lactose intolerant.
9:20
SPEAKER_07: So the original idea was uh whoever wins uh the weekend uh gets ice cream.
9:29
SPEAKER_07: Uh so this so now it's like now it's like if if my daughter or my wife win, they get dairy-free ice cream and only they can have it.
9:38
SPEAKER_07: Oh, that's kind of and then if one of the boys or I win, then we get a regular tub of ice cream and the girls can't have any.
9:45
SPEAKER_07: Oh yeah.
9:45
SPEAKER_07: So that's clever.
9:46
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
9:46
SPEAKER_07: So and the and the winner gets to pick the flavor.
9:49
SPEAKER_07: So it's it's uh so we got black raspberry, uh, because Eli won uh yesterday.
9:55
SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
9:56
SPEAKER_07: Black raspberry.
9:57
SPEAKER_07: That's pretty good.
9:57
SPEAKER_07: So I picked that up tonight, and so the boys already had some, and I probably I probably won't have any.
10:02
SPEAKER_07: There you go.
10:03
SPEAKER_07: But Myra won last week.
10:04
SPEAKER_07: Oh, so what'd you have?
10:06
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, Myra had uh mint mint chocolate chip uh dairy free.
10:10
SPEAKER_07: Ah, nice ice cream.
10:11
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
10:12
SPEAKER_05: See, good for her.
10:13
SPEAKER_07: We just try to make it a little fun.
10:14
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, why not, man?
10:15
SPEAKER_07: That's what it's all about.
10:16
SPEAKER_07: You know what my wife does?
10:17
SPEAKER_07: Did I ever tell you what my wife does?
10:19
SPEAKER_07: Because my wife doesn't really like football all that much.
10:22
SPEAKER_07: Right.
10:23
SPEAKER_07: So she'll go so we have I have I have the the pick'ems you know listed and you can check which team you know you know you're picking.
10:32
SPEAKER_07: She'll she'll take a pen and just write a line down on the left side.
10:36
SPEAKER_07: She picks all the ones on the left except for Tampa Bay.
10:40
SPEAKER_07: Oh, okay.
10:41
SPEAKER_07: She always goes with Tom Brady and uh and then and then the line down the rest.
10:45
SPEAKER_07: So she doesn't even put any thought into it.
10:47
SPEAKER_05: Uh good system.
10:49
SPEAKER_07: No, not really.
10:49
SPEAKER_07: She got nine wrong.
10:51
SPEAKER_07: Well, yeah, I this past week.
10:53
SPEAKER_05: So but you know, hey, it's all about the ice cream.
10:56
SPEAKER_05: It is.
10:56
unknown: All about the ice cream.
10:57
SPEAKER_07: Yep.
10:58
SPEAKER_07: Anyway, uh, we got um an email or message from our our buddy Bob.
11:03
SPEAKER_07: Robert.
11:04
SPEAKER_07: And Robert claims that uh he's caught up on the podcast.
11:09

11:11
SPEAKER_07: Um he's the one.
11:13
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
11:15
SPEAKER_07: But uh he uh had an idea for a future subject on the podcast, uh, and this is what he said cover songs like artists that did a cover of an iconic song and made it better or worse.
11:27
SPEAKER_07: Um I'd love to get your guys' opinion on a few specific ones.
11:32
SPEAKER_07: These are mostly all from opinion lists, with the theme being the covers are all better than the original versions.
11:38
SPEAKER_07: In my opinion, some of the originals are still better.
11:41
SPEAKER_07: In some of these cases, the song changed pretty dramatically from its original version.
11:45
SPEAKER_07: And then he lists all these songs, and I'll I'll list a couple here.
11:49
SPEAKER_07: But uh I said I th I we we did an episode of on covers.

18:35

19:03
SPEAKER_07: I don't I guess so.
19:04
SPEAKER_07: Uh you guys would feel if an established artist took one of your songs and made it an iconic part of their legacy, or if a new band used one and it became a huge success that it jumpstarted their career, would you feel flattered, validated, jealous, resentful?
19:21
SPEAKER_05: Yes.
19:22
SPEAKER_07: I you know, I think you would feel rich.

SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you'd be like, hey, I don't care because I'm sleeping on a big pile of money.
19:32
SPEAKER_05: No.

SPEAKER_07: Yeah, see, see uh so I guess validated.
20:06
SPEAKER_07: Uh would I feel flattered?

SPEAKER_05: Well, you should, because they like out of all the songs that they could play, they played one of yours.
20:14
SPEAKER_05: Right.
20:14
SPEAKER_05: So that's on the So yeah.
20:16
SPEAKER_07: So they took time to I don't know where jealous comes in or resentment.
20:19
SPEAKER_07: Well, I think if they made it big, maybe because you know, I didn't make it big or something like that.
20:24
SPEAKER_07: But I mean, if I was I wouldn't care.
20:26
SPEAKER_07: I I would think if someone took one of my songs and had a huge hit with it, I'd be like, Yeah, here's another one.
20:32
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, record another one of mine.

SPEAKER_05: And I'll be sleeping on my big pile of money.

27:53
SPEAKER_07: No.
27:53
SPEAKER_05: We've uh I think maybe we tried that.
27:55

28:08
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
28:09

28:10
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
28:10
SPEAKER_05: That's right.
28:11
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
28:11
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, when Josh was in the band.
28:12
SPEAKER_05: Yep.
28:12
SPEAKER_05: 16, walk this way, Aerosmith.
28:15
SPEAKER_05: Which actually I think would be kind of fun to do.
28:18
SPEAKER_05: 15, I love rock and roll.
28:20
SPEAKER_05: Joan Jett, the Black Arts.
28:21
SPEAKER_07: The only problem with Aerosmith's Walk This Way and Comic Crossing is there's a lot of words and a lot of intricate guitar work.
28:29
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
28:30
SPEAKER_07: So I can't I can't sing it and play it at the same time.
28:32
SPEAKER_07: So you'd have to sing it.
28:33
SPEAKER_05: So I'd have to sing and try to drum at the same time.
28:37
SPEAKER_05: 14, Roadhouse Blues, which we do, the doors.
28:40
SPEAKER_05: It is actually a good one.
28:43
SPEAKER_05: Pro tip: any song that encourages people to drink makes your employer happy.
28:48
SPEAKER_05: I woke up this morning and I've got myself a beer.
28:54
SPEAKER_05: 13.
28:56
SPEAKER_07: Oh, all right.
28:57
SPEAKER_07: Let's talk about that just for a second.
28:58
SPEAKER_05: Let me let me read what they wrote.
29:00
SPEAKER_05: Okay.
29:00
SPEAKER_05: It's difficult to say who has performed the quintessential version of Mustang Sally, but the basic structure remains the same in each recording.
29:07
SPEAKER_05: This is another great sing-along for the crowd, Ride Sally, Ride.
29:11
SPEAKER_05: If you play a musical instrument, you have to know this one.
29:14
SPEAKER_05: And they're not wrong.
29:20
SPEAKER_05: I I did.
29:22
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
29:22
SPEAKER_05: Until we started doing it all the time.
29:26
SPEAKER_07: And it it's kind of a love-hate relationship with the crowd, too, I think, because there's half the crowd loves the song and they just want to dance and drink and and sing along to the song.
29:36
SPEAKER_07: The other half of the crowd, don't you ever play that song again because we're so sick of it.
29:40
SPEAKER_07: Right.
29:40
SPEAKER_07: You know, so which do you cater to the most?
29:44
SPEAKER_07: The band doesn't want to.
29:45
SPEAKER_05: The women that are the one that the women are all singing, you go with them.
29:48
SPEAKER_05: Right.
29:49
SPEAKER_07: Exactly.
29:49
SPEAKER_07: The band doesn't really want to play it.
29:51
SPEAKER_07: No.
29:52
SPEAKER_07: Although I love Otis Redding's version.
29:53
SPEAKER_07: I'm not I mean Wilson Pickett's version.
29:56
SPEAKER_07: Um yeah, we we don't really want to play it.
29:59
SPEAKER_05: We know it's it will please at least women love it, and so we're gonna play it.
30:03
SPEAKER_05: Exactly.
30:03
SPEAKER_05: So that's the way it's I think that's what any band would say.
30:06
SPEAKER_05: If you're a pretty lady, we're gonna play it for you.
30:11
SPEAKER_05: Doesn't matter.
30:11
SPEAKER_05: I mean, if if some beautiful woman comes up to you and is like, can you play this?
30:16
SPEAKER_05: You'll be like, heck yeah.
30:17
SPEAKER_05: Can you play the Russian Eastern Easter overture by uh Can you play the Russian national anthem?

30:42
SPEAKER_07: DC DC.
30:43
SPEAKER_07: Well, we've done that, but we can't sing it, so we've let the crowd sing it.
30:46
SPEAKER_07: I can sing it.
30:47
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, you probably can't.
30:51

33:36
SPEAKER_07: Oh, yeah.
33:37
SPEAKER_07: Well.

SPEAKER_07: I suppose but if you don't have a like a full band, like if you don't have a keyboard.
33:41
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, if you yeah, if you don't have it's gonna be hard with like a with our with our power trio, we couldn't do it, but we could do with Reverend Funk.
33:49
SPEAKER_07: I thought it was gonna be something ACDC or something.
33:51
SPEAKER_05: No, but they made a couple appearances on there.
33:53
SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
33:53
SPEAKER_05: So yeah.

33:58
SPEAKER_07: Courtesy of cover bands.
33:59
SPEAKER_07: Cover bandcentral.com.
34:00
SPEAKER_07: Coverbandcentral.com.
34:03
SPEAKER_07: I would agree with most of those, actually.
34:04
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, there's a lot of them.
34:06
SPEAKER_05: And some of that we have uh like we like you said, love-hate relationship with.
34:11
SPEAKER_07: Yes, for sure.
34:12
SPEAKER_05: But yeah, I mean, if you're gonna play covers, then you got to play what the people like.
34:18
SPEAKER_05: That's true.
34:19
SPEAKER_05: As much as you might hate it, you still gotta play.
34:22
SPEAKER_07: We have that, and we've had that we had that discussion this weekend um uh at Chris's wedding, where we're talking about it's it's a fine line between you want to play songs that would be really cool and that you really dig, uh, but nobody knows them.
34:38
SPEAKER_05: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:39
SPEAKER_05: Yeah, we were talking about that.
34:40
SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
34:41
SPEAKER_07: So I mean, you had talked about how you we think the syndicate should do some more Tower of the Pow Tower of Power.
34:45
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, but nobody knows Tower of Power Power.
34:46
SPEAKER_07: Nobody knows Tower of Power.
34:47
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, unfortunately.
34:48
SPEAKER_07: Um so it would be a hard sell to get the band to play some more Tower of Power.
34:53
SPEAKER_05: But if we did that James Brown, uh digging on James Brown, yeah, people would know that.
34:59
SPEAKER_07: Right.
35:00
SPEAKER_07: So just saying.
35:01
SPEAKER_07: Yeah, just so it's a food for thought.
35:03
SPEAKER_07: It's a fine line for sure.
35:05
SPEAKER_07: It is.
35:05
SPEAKER_07: Um, all right, so let's uh let's do a Comic Crossing cover.
35:12

SPEAKER_07: Yeah.
48:25
SPEAKER_07: Um but Elvis Costello, John Hyatt was was on Elvis Costello's record label when they first when he first got signed.

50:31
SPEAKER_07: Maybe I did hear that some somewhere.
50:33
SPEAKER_05: Um course being a computer programmer back in those days was probably the punch cord type, you know what I mean?
50:39
SPEAKER_05: Not not, you know, you're snuck, you know, you weren't even it wasn't even an apple or an apple to.
50:43

50:52
SPEAKER_05: Right.
50:52
SPEAKER_05: You know.

51:14
SPEAKER_07: Um New Wave Punk Pop.
51:17
SPEAKER_07: Pop.
51:17
SPEAKER_07: Yeah because he did put out uh not too long ago, maybe 10-15 years ago, he put out like a standards album where he was singing like Tony Bennett stuff, you know.
51:28
SPEAKER_05: Do you remember when he was on Saturday night like he got banned from Saturday Night Live?
51:32
SPEAKER_05: No, I don't for Radio Radio.
51:34

51:36
SPEAKER_05: I don't know if he was banned, but something he was not he was supposed to play something else, and he played that song.
51:41
SPEAKER_05: So when the the 25th anniversary came up, the Beastie Boys were doing sabotage, and Elvis Costello runs out and goes, No, no, no, we're not gonna do this right now, and they go into radio radio.
51:53
SPEAKER_06: Oh, wow.

52:06
SPEAKER_07: I don't know.
52:07
SPEAKER_05: I don't remember the controversy.
52:08
SPEAKER_05: I think it was just because he was supposed to sing something and then he went out and just said, no, we're not gonna do this, and he did something, you know, did something else completely.
52:18
SPEAKER_05: And you know how Lauren Michael apparently is, so you know, he's very fickle and you know, he gets a hair across his butt and exactly, you know.
52:27
SPEAKER_05: That's why Eddie Murphy wasn't on for so many years.
52:29
SPEAKER_05: I know.
52:30
SPEAKER_05: So, you know.
52:31
SPEAKER_05: But hey, it turned out Eddie Murphy didn't need Lauren Michaels after a while.
