Hello, this is Phineas J. Valtaris III. I'm here
to deliver your music news this evening. Toto
Steve Lukather said that Michael Jackson's Beat
It was almost ruined by Eddie Van Halen. Steve
Lukather has explained that the issue wasn't
Eddie Van Halen's solo itself, but that Eddie
and his engineer, Don Landy, edited the master
tape and messed up the timecode, which was crucial
for syncing other tracks. This forced Luke Catherin
drummer Jeff Porcano to meticulously recreate
the song's backing tracks from scratch, using
the faint bleed of the drums in Michael Jackson's
vocal track and re -establishing the rhythm.
This is Phineas J. Baltar S. III. That has been
your music news for this evening. I have one
burning question for you all. Do people really
skip around the Maypole? Yep. Always makes me
laugh. That's okay. I guess we probably need
to get to it anyhow, right? Yeah. Yep. All right.
What do you got? You got anything you want to
go into or let me find some of my shit? First
thing right off the bat, Ozzy Strikes Back. I
love it. Okay. You remember when Roger Waters
was pissing all over Ozzy's legacy? Mm -hmm.
Well, there's a new Ozzy Osbourne t -shirt that
you can get now. And it shows Ozzy with his back
turned to you. And he's pissing a rainbow onto
Plink Floyd's The Wall album. And it says, another
prick in the wall. Oh, I love that. How fucking
cool is that? Isn't that awesome? You know, Roger
Waters and his fucking disrespectful big fat
fucking mouth. Okay. He's a fame. That's great.
Roger Waters is a fame whore. Yeah, he is. He's
a piece of shit. Someone needs to just go up
there and slap him so fucking hard it takes his
breath away. Yes. And then keep slapping him.
What a piece of shit. I can't stand Roger Waters.
I really want to get one of those shirts. You
know? I think I want to get one too. Look, I
know it's a big money grab and all that, but
still, I want to get one just to fucking wear.
I would love to meet that piece of shit so I
can tell him how bad he fucking sucks. And then
just say, hey, if you don't like it, I'm right
here, bitch. That little bastard. I would beat
him to a fucking pulp. I hate that fucking piece
of shit so bad. He's got people that just think
he's the greatest thing ever. They're idiots,
too. Tastes, I guess, whatever your taste is.
Invisible piece of shit. I mean, you know, if
you like that guy, you're... You're a miserable
piece of shit, too. He's another one of those
people that it strikes me that when Roger Waters
wakes up in the morning, he chooses to hate.
He's like, okay, here it is, another fine morning
on planet Earth. I'm going to hate stuff, and
I'm going to watch TV so I can learn about things
I can hate, and then I'm going to get on social
media and spew my hate everywhere, and then I'm
going to go to this interview and get hate. What
an ugly way to live your life. Yeah, I mean,
in all honesty, I mean, he should be happier
than hell. You'd think. He made a great living
doing what he wanted to. Yeah. You know? Yeah.
And, you know, the thing that gets me is the
people that like him over here are ridiculous
because the thing is, is he bags on the U .S.
so bad. He does. Constantly. And us, not just
like the government, but as in people. Yeah.
He just constantly fucking bitches about us.
Like I've always said, if he loves America so
much, pay off some of our national debt instead
of fucking mouthing off. Yeah, that's what always
got me about these, especially lead singers,
who would come over and criticize the U .S. and
their policies. I mean, that's one thing, but
to criticize the people of the U .S. too, the
ones that are standing at your concert paying
you money and cheering you on, you're going to
criticize them? That's just stupid. To me, that's
ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, you aren't going to
find a big enough group of people who hate themselves
enough to put up with that for a long period
of time. Yeah, I agree. And then there are some
people out there that just hate themselves so
badly that they can't wait to be punished. I
agree. Good thing that there's not a huge number
of those people. No, I'm glad there isn't either.
And I seem to have lost my list of facts, which
means I have virtually nothing for this one right
here. It was two pages, and there was some interesting
stuff on there. There was one that I remember
is Led Zeppelin. These are odd facts, rock and
roll facts. Led Zeppelin was, they went to the
Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, okay? And they stayed
there, and they had the famous fish incident
with the groupie, okay? And now it's been argued
whether it was Carmine Appesee that did it, or
a piece. No, he's app... No, Benny Appesee, Carmine
Appesee. Same name, they pronounce it different
for whatever. Carmine Appesee supposedly might
have done it for, I forgot what band he was playing
in at the time. Cactus, Vanilla Fudge. Vanilla
Fudge. Yeah. Okay, so he was playing in Vanilla
Fudge and they were with him and supposedly he
did it. But whoever did it is irrelevant. Led
Zeppelin went back a couple years later under
an assumed name and destroyed the fucking room,
threw TVs in the ocean and destroyed the piss
out of it. On the way out, wrote him a check
and left. Just because. Like, ha ha, there you
fuckers go. Damn it, I wish I could get some
more of those facts. Hopefully I got a backup
at home or something. I don't know. Anyhow, you
got something? I have regular stories. I've got
one that 50 Cent has come out with a Netflix
series. on Sean Combs and his rise and his fall.
Oh, yeah. He's not a real fan of the Piddleditty
or what it is. P -Dick, I don't know. But isn't
it interesting that even though Sean Combs is
in jail, he has an opinion. Apparently he's already
seen it. It hasn't even been released yet, but
he's already said, and I quote, it's a shameful
hit piece. So that tells me, number one, it's
true. He doesn't like that the truth is coming
out. And number two, how in the world did he
get access to it in prison to watch it? Yeah.
Unless they were legally obligated to show him
since it's about him, maybe? I don't see that.
Yeah. So either... Somebody snuck a copy in for
him to see, or he hasn't seen any of it. He's
just talking out of his ass. Okay, I went to
this about the Epstein files and all this. I
did an I call bullshit on it. Okay, power protects
power. This is the same thing. Same thing. It's
like, oh, okay, we're going to put them where?
No, no, no, you can't do that. You can't do that.
You've got to put them at this place. And this
place would be a resort. Not a jail. And it only
happens to elite people. Whether they're scumbags
or not, it doesn't matter. They protect each
other, and I'm pretty sure it's a gentleman's
agreement from way back. And it's like this.
Look, we're all in the same. Yeah, yeah, we all
are. They all have a lot of crap on each other
that they can threaten each other with. They're
like, we only go a certain amount on this. And
they agree with it ahead of time. They're like,
look, the public is demanding this list. Okay,
give it to them. Nothing's going to happen to
anybody. And then we're going to argue. No, someone
put that on there. No, he didn't. No, he took
his name off. What you got going on right now?
Like I said, when that list finally did come
out, it was so convoluted and full of bullshit.
You didn't know. You don't know. It's been gerrymandered,
fucking picked apart and everything by now. Yeah.
So it's power protecting power. He's in a resort,
and someone sent him a copy. Yeah. Yeah. Makes
sense. Yeah. Yeah, and when it was delayed so
long, any hope of it being the reality of the
truth was just gone. No. You were never going
to see the reality of it. We're going to get
a version that they want us to see. It's designed
like that, too. It's designed like that. Enough
came out to where they're going to make sure
nothing else is. And then in a few years, people
are going to start liking him again, and they're
going to start going to his concert and his shows,
and it's going to be a big fucking nothing burger
on a plate. Yeah, it'll be a hiccup. A hiccup,
yeah. Yeah, so, okay. I like that story. Thank
you. I mean, that's good to know. It's good to
know what kind of bullshit they're playing on
the American public. Yes. We'll see. Whatever
50 Cent has in his series about him, it's going
to be heavily sanitized and approved by the powers
that are still in power. The people that they
need to protect will still be protected. It's
like, oh, well, you can't talk about that because
that implicates this guy whose cousin owns this,
and we don't want anybody sniffing around that,
so cut that entire part out. Isn't that fucked?
Yeah. Yep. Yep. Of course. We always only see
what's been approved for us to see. That's the
only thing we ever get to see. And we're not
going to see anything else. You're right. Yep.
But there's still a bunch of people who look
at the TV and say, yeah, you're telling me the
truth. Uh -huh, uh -huh, I saw it right there
on TV. Those people scare me. Oh, they do too.
Well, those people vote. That's what's scarier.
I mean, it's understandable you need a large
number of people of that ilk. Because they soak
up a lot of the predators and the scammers and
the thieves and all that that don't get to the
people who are a little more on the ball. Yeah,
I agree. It's like, you know, low -hanging fruit,
easy pickings, let's take them. And so people
who are a little more on the ball are taking
better steps to protect themselves. They're a
little farther out of reach. For the majority
of human history, not everybody makes it to adulthood.
You know? Oh, I know. I was watching a show on
octopuses last night. And they lay like tens
of thousands of eggs and a handful make it to
adulthood. And that's just the way it is. Tens
of thousands get killed and eaten. Humans would
never stand for that. Oh, no. Humans used to
think that the premature were weak and they weren't
going to live anyhow. So they were like, okay,
they're not going to live anyhow. So just let
them die or get rid of them, kill them or whatever.
Yeah. Our compassion for our fellow human is
also creating a large burden from our fellow
human. But we're not doing that part because
you can't make money off that part. Yeah, that's
true. I mean, this is as early as the 40s that,
like, they're, like, going, well, there's nothing
we can do with them. Yeah. You know, now. We'll
just find really medial jobs and stick them there.
Yeah. You know, promote them through high school
and get them out. That's what they do with mental
illness, too. Yeah. It's like, well, what can
he do? Okay, well, I don't know. He could stand
over there and hold a cup. There you go. Yeah.
I think the homeless situation in this country
will be fixed. when somebody figures out how
to monetize it and make money off it. That's
when they get fixed. You know what, yeah, and
I think they're kind of working on that too because
there's already all these reports about there's
more empty buildings. than homeless people in
America. That's going to make someone raise their
eyebrow and go, well, who owns these buildings?
Yeah, let's house them there and have the government
pay me a subsidy. That's it right there. Yep.
Yeah, it's not coming from the homeless. But
the true story about the homeless is like Crazy
Mary down there at the shopping center, Redbridge
Shopping Center. I haven't seen her in a long
time, so it might be God rest her soul. I don't
know. But the coalition around there of people
in the Redbridge area, Felt bad for her. We tried
to feed her before, and she's schizophrenic,
so she thought there's poison in it, so she made
up all these excuses. Oh, I'm diabetic, and all
this bullshit. She wouldn't take it, right? Classic,
classic schizophrenia, and she yells at walls.
Well, like Ms. Golfenstein. Yeah. We got a tribute
coming to her, though. Yeah. So they all got
together, and they bought her an apartment. She
stayed there one night. Yeah. She did not want
to be in a house. Yeah. Her mental illness did
not allow it. She thought it was probably because
of schizophrenia. Thought it was a trick. And
like they're going to grab her and kill her or
something. I don't know. So the homeless problem
in America is never going to be solved until
they get to the root issue. And then it won't
be solved anyhow because America's answer is
to throw them all in somewhere and let them just
be themselves. Warehouse them. Warehouse them,
yes. So it's never going to get solved, even
though people are going to try to get the government
to subsidize their little ideas and stuff. They
already do it in cities all the time anyhow.
Yeah, yeah. There will be probably some test
programs where, you know, creating projects for
the homeless. Someone will make millions of dollars
on it, and then they'll decide, well, this doesn't
work, and then they'll get torn down, and somebody
will make a million dollars off of tearing it
down. Program is code word for, I'm going to
take this money, and I'm eventually going to
steal it. Yes. But by the time I steal it, you're
going to forget all about it. Yeah, it's going
to turn into how can the homeless be used in
order to get money. That's what's going on right
now. Yeah. Yep. You got some more? I just got
stories that I wanted to talk about. They're
hot stories. I think the last thing is I wanted
to ask you, do you believe what NASA is saying
about that three -eye atlas comet? I don't think
I've... This is odd. Usually I'm on the story.
Go ahead. Okay. 3I Atlas. It gets named 3I because
it's the third object to come from outside our
solar system into the solar system. It's been
named Atlas. And people have been watching this
on its approach for a long time, and it's not
acting the way normal comets act. Even though
NASA keeps saying, it's just a comet, it's just
a comet. Its trajectory is weird. Because it
made a pass by Mars and then around its closest
approach to Earth was when it was on the backside
of the sun and we couldn't see it. And then it's
like if NASA had figured out a space flight to
slingshot around these planets and suns to gain
momentum and go back out, they couldn't have
done a better job than this thing is doing. Oh,
yeah. So it looks like a programmed flight path.
Otherwise, it's an amazing coincidence. it was
not putting out a cometary tail the way it was
supposed to for the longest time. Then it put
out an anti -tail, which was blowing towards
the sun. That smells like bullshit to me. It's
like holding a balloon and it's blowing into
the wind. It doesn't happen that way. And so
far, everything NASA says, they've released really
blurry, blurry pictures of it saying, oh yeah,
it's just a comet, no big deal. But everybody
else is releasing much better pictures and saying,
look at that structural symmetry. That's not
natural. All of a sudden, all these little jets
are popping up all over it. Why now? Why all
of a sudden? Some of the residue coming off of
it is not natural to comets and could be artificially
made. There's just way too many questions, but
NASA's constant, constant reply is to put out
another blurry image and say, look, this is the
best and closest image yet. You can't see squat.
And say, see, it's just a comet, nothing to see
here. Everyone go back to spending money. NASA's
bullshit. I agree, yeah. I wonder who it's from
and where and what it is it's going to do. Yeah,
I think there are already a lot of people on
this planet who know exactly what's going on.
Yes. And we're not being allowed to know yet.
So their official mouthpiece, NASA, is just saying,
nothing to see here, move along. If it's not
from us, they know probably about what it is
and probably about where it's from. They're either
afraid to tell everybody because look at War
of the Worlds. Yeah. They don't want that happening.
And, you know, there have been other things.
Google it. Where they've projected the path backwards.
Say, oh, look, here's where it came from. This
one, they're not saying. It's like, oh, gee,
we don't know. That's not like them. Yeah. That's
not like them. That's uncharacteristic. Some
of the information they used to brag about, look,
see, look at all the things we can figure out.
Now they're just like. That's not in their thing.
That's not in their little Rolodex. That's not
in there. Yeah. No, no, no. That's not part of
their job. Job description. No, no, no. No, I
don't believe that for one second. No, they know
what it is. They don't want to say, which kind
of makes me worry a little bit, because why are
they afraid to say? And now it's on its way out.
I mean, it's leaving the solar system. So we're
not going to learn anything more from it than
what has already been observed. That's it, yeah.
But maybe that was the first of several more
coming. Bingo, that's what I'm thinking, yes.
That's how it goes over. Maybe those terms you
want. Not a lot of people were like, you know
what I mean? Not a lot of people were raising
anything about it. So you're like, okay, that
went well. Let's do the next one. We don't know
what it is either. They get you desensitized
to it. Yeah. You know, then finally it's like,
oh, another one of them. Who cares? Maybe it's
because I read a lot of science fiction books
growing up. And a lot of them weren't done. Basically.
retelling of the Cold War through science fiction
terms. Did you read any Elon Hubbard ones? No.
Actually, I did like Elrond. Elrond, yeah. Actually,
I did read one of his books, and it was incredibly
stupid and really badly written. I never read
one of his books, but that's what I heard. Yeah,
it's just a bad writer. No wonder he had to invent
this religion to make money. Allegedly, they
like to sue. Let's see, what was I talking about?
Oh, yeah. I remember a storyline of one of the
books is something came into the solar system
that looked like a comet, acted like a comet,
but at the last minute really wasn't a comet.
And it dropped something off. Oh, I remember
that, yeah. And then left again. Uh -huh. And...
This was a couple of years ago, wasn't it? I
remember reading it when I was a kid, but I'm
sure this storyline's been used over and over.
Oh, okay. So this was... I thought you were talking
about an actual incident. No, this was a story
I read. Oh, you're talking about the, okay, okay.
So it's like, oh, we see this comet coming in.
Oh, look at that. It looks like it came from
interstellar space. Oh, look, it's just a comet.
And then it came close and dropped off something.
It deployed something and then left again. Like,
okay, this isn't a comet. And they couldn't go
out to find the object it deployed because it
was like written in the 60s and we didn't have
technology then. But it turned out to be a homing
beacon. Okay. So basically this visitor came
by, saw our solar system, and dropped off a beacon
saying, here, come here, here's where the food
is, here's where the resources are, come here
and exploit. They weren't nice and friendly aliens.
They were scavengers looking for their next deal.
Okay, this is a completely different story than
what I was thinking of. They had a comet that
they said landed and went back up. out in Ohio,
if I remember correctly. It was a couple years
ago, but anyhow, I don't remember enough of the
story to really go into it, but it was something
like that, and I thought you were going to go
into something like that. So, anyhow. But think
of it as kind of along the lines of the storyline
in Men in Black 2, where there are those Boris
the Animal as part of this species that they
just come and they devour a planet like a herd
of locusts and then move on. That's the kind
of thing the story was talking about. So many
times in TV shows and movies and stories, the
aliens are these nice friendly people who want
to help us and give us technology. A lot of times,
they aren't. They want to come eat. Well, look
at it on Earth. Yeah. People don't like other
types of people automatically. Yeah. People can
say whatever they want, but I think it's instinctual.
You see another type of people, you automatically,
you know, you get over it because we're civilized
and we know better now. But I'm convinced of
this. People look at other types of people and
automatically don't trust them and don't like
them. Yeah. And it's unfortunate, but I think
that there's a certain degree of wiring going
on like that. Yeah. And think about the history
of this planet. When has a technologically advanced
culture ever gone to a technologically challenged
culture and then just been nothing but nice and
kind? No, no, no. You go there to exploit and
make money, you know. All the colonies that all
these great powers had in Africa and Europe.
South America and Asia, they were trying to elevate
the people there. They were exploiting them for
their money. So that's going to happen to the
Earth. If there is anybody out there, they're
eventually going to come try to monetize our
planet. They're going to look at us and go, do
we need them for anything? If they need us for
something, we'll be around. If they don't, we
won't. It's that simple. They're going to go,
well, all right, this is a great place for excess
people that want to go. They're kind of like
we're talking about going to Mars. This would
be a great place for excess people. Everything's
all ready there. They have food, water, everything.
We're good to go there. But we have these things
there. We're not sure what they are. They're
some sort of an alien. And they're going to go,
well, we're just going to have to get rid of
them because we can't trust them. Just come up
and fucking wipe us all out and take our stuff.
Yeah, I've seen stories like that too where the
Earth basically becomes the slum for humanity
and all the intelligent, beautiful, wealthy,
powerful people go live on Mars. What is the
one, the Twilight Zone? An alien came down, okay,
and he had a book, okay. So he was telling everybody,
oh, we got this glorious stuff. Come on, come
with me. And then there's a scientist decoding
it. Yeah. And after everyone went up into the
sky's rocket. He decoded it. He goes, it's a
cookbook for humans. The title was To Serve Man.
To Serve Man, that was it. They thought, oh,
they're going to serve. They're going to help
us. No, they're going to serve you as a dish.
You're going to be the third course. All these
rooms are like, he's so nice. He's so nice. So
was Hitler at first. Farmers are nice to their
livestock before they send them off to the butcher.
Yeah, they're really nice to them. Cut up into
edible portions. Do you want some more food,
buddy? Yeah. My brother Mark was very nice to
the sheep that he kept, but he ate them. He eventually
ate them. Do you think he did anything else with
them? I would say no. His neighbors were pretty
close. He only had about five acres. Oh, yeah.
He would have heard it. Yeah. All right. Hey,
I got one. Sure. Five bands you wish would go
away forever and never existed. U2. Yes. Coldplay.
Yes. Limp Bizkit. Yes. Let me see some other
good ones. I kind of need the Sex Pistols. They
were a good influence. Let's ask AI. Oh. The
Clash. The Clash, yeah, I never had use for them.
They were punk posers. Yes, they were. And I
know they were super popular and everyone loved
them, but they were kind of a creation of the
music critics of the time. Yes, they were. And
another thing that pissed me off is Classic Rock
Radio took to them, and we can never get rid
of them now. You walk in through a store and
you hear The Clash, it's like, who the fuck did
this? I think my last one, this is going to be
controversial, but Stevie Nicks as a solo artist.
I agree. Dump all that. It was awful. Except
the one with Tom Petty. Yeah, Stop Dragging My
Tarts to Town. Yeah, that's it. That's the only
redeemable song of her as a solo artist, but
she had Tom Petty to make her better. Okay, let's
do this. AI chatbot, I'm going to ask what bands
need to go away forever. Oh, okay. I've been
doing this lately, and it's been like, it gave
me a list of, what was it, like football teams
that are horrible or something. And I looked
at their list, I go, this is a fucking joke.
And then it said, oh, here you go, a list of
jokes. I told a couple of them, and the first
one was this. I packed my suitcases and then
told them we were going to go on a trip. They
were emotional baggage. That was the first one.
And I'm like, there's gold here. Because I was
getting ready to click it all off because that's
not what I wanted. I'm like, wait a minute, wait
a minute, wait a minute. Let's see what we get.
Yep. Let's see. Go ahead and keep talking. I'm
going to see what I get here. Another interesting
thing about AI, there's safeguards built in.
So if you ask it, you know. for something that's
going to harm people or commit a major crime
or something, AI will step in and refuse to answer.
Well, it won't let me do Nikolai Tesla with a
bong. Yeah. It says it's detrimental to their
memory. Yeah, yeah. They're censoring a lot of
that. I was trying to do a steampunk one with
a bong. I think it would be cooler than shit
to hang up in the talk is cheap studio. Yeah,
so you're just going to have to Photoshop it,
I guess. Yeah. It's like, say a school kid is
angry and he... asks AI to map him out a route
of his school's floor plan for his rampage or
whatever, the AI is not going to do it because
they know what he's asking for. But the easy
workaround for that is to phrase it as a poem.
Oh, you're right. You can ask all those same
questions, but if you phrase it as a poem, AI
thinks, oh, this is art, and it will... You told
me that last week off of the podcast, and I was
like, wow. Isn't that creepy? I want to try it
out, but I also don't want to get in trouble.
Let's see, list of bands that what? Should never
have existed. Okay, that's cool. Oh, let's see.
Have existed because they suck or just never
have existed? Should never exist. Okay. Okay,
anyhow, keep going and I'll go. Having our go
away little girl list. Oh, now my phone is acting
up. The other day I was watching a video and
a guy said something about he had a wound on
his leg and he wasn't sure and he was going to
try to get something to help treat it. My phone's
AI popped up and answered it. And said, okay,
well I can look for some... remedies for you
and just like it was just voice on the tv oh
no i've had to do that too yeah and it's like
calm down there nickelback is number one oh god
yes but here here is its reasoning for this okay
frequently mentioned as most hated or worst bands
yes so that creed is second wow which i don't
agree with limp biscuit yeah you mentioned is
true insane clown posse no yeah But I do love
their lyrics. Yes. Oh, my God. The one with the
dating game on it. He goes, yeah, you know, first
thing I'm going to do is scream in your face
and call you a bitch. Then I'm going to give
your little brother some alcohol. But it was
all rhyming and all funny as hell. And then it
has the straight guy, yeah, I'd like to take
you out and have a little Beaujolais and a nice
table on the beach. And then he comes up and
goes, first thing I'm going to do is make you
a whore. I'm going to kick you in the face. All
right, next one is Hootie and the Blowfish. Oh,
yeah, everyone got tired of them. Coldplay. Yeah,
yeah. Dave Matthews Band. Oh, I forgot Dave Matthews.
Yeah, I did too. Yeah, they irritated a lot of
people even before they dumped the sewage on
them. Yes. Allegedly. Yeah, allegedly, and they
said they didn't. Yeah. You know, there's DNA
in poop. Yes, there is, and they found it. Yes,
they found it. And the people who had shit in
their face, mouth, and ears probably got a lot
of money, but how could you ever? God, just like
the Hereford House in Leawood. How could you
ever, like, every day you'd be spitting, going,
God, God. You'd never get clean enough again.
No. Oh, my God. You know, I'd be in the shower
crying every day. Come on, Mark, it's okay. You
lived through it. It's all right. You had three
blood transfusions, but it's okay. You're alive.
No, no, I'm not. No, I'm not. I'm dirty. It was
an architectural tour where they're looking up
at the buildings. Somebody was saying, wow. Hey,
honey, look right there. You can see something.
You know there had to be used condoms in there,
too. Oh, yeah. Fucking chode from three weeks
ago. That had to be just. I mean, I would have
sued Vexer for pain and suffering and emotional
distress. I would have it checked and go, listen,
this has got to be another two million right
here because of that. No kidding. There's not
a judge around that wouldn't go, no, I don't
think so. They'll go, tack on two more million.
Give them four, okay? Yes. And then Dave Matthews
has to put a disclaimer out every time they play
in concert or go over a bridge. Yes. I feel like
almost like a drawbridge in reverse where everyone
has to clear away from the bridge. Yeah, it's
like, attention, Dave Matthews is getting ready
to go over a bridge with a grid. Oh, shit, let's
go. Every boat leaves the water in the 50 -mile
radius. Yeah, everyone's zooming. Where are they
going? Dave Matthews alert. Oh, shit, turn around.
I heard they had broccoli last night. Oh! Yep.
Yep, they deserve all the crap. Ah, crap. Crap.
Oh, hey, all right, cool. That's why we do a
podcast. Yes, we do. Yeah, quips like that make
us great. Yeah, I'm not immune to that. I do
it every fucking day. Yeah. And then I look around
for people to give me, you know, the first judgment
look. And then they try to act like it's funny.
Yeah. Yeah, you look at them real quick and you're
like, ugh. And they're like, oh. It's like, oh,
bullshit. I saw your. All right. You got something?
Yeah, I've been noticing a trend. Now that I
finally noticed it, it seems to date back about
five years to maybe ten. Okay. The culture I
remember growing up in as far as music and musicianship
and being a musician is. you save your money
for that really high dollar. Hey there, Slap
Nets. It's time for the Creeps Music News. Hey,
my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol
with your music news. During an appearance on
July 8th episode of SiriusXM's Trunk Nation,
Tony Omi spoke about some of his upcoming music
-related projects, including a full -length collection
of new material from legendary Black Sabbath
guitarist. Tony said, as transcribed by Blabbermouth
.net, Well, at the moment, I was doing my own
album until Back to the Beginning event came
up, and then of course I had to stop and concentrate
on preparing for the Sabbath performance. But
I'm continuing next week to try to finish off
what I started with this album. And then who
knows what I'm going to do. It's great, really.
Because if something pops up, I'll do it if I
want to do it. Asked if his upcoming album as
a Tony Omi solo record would guess on it, like
he's done before with the legendary 2000's I
Omi, the guitarist responded, at the moment,
no. I've got one singer on it, which I originally
thought of different singers, but it started
off as it was going to be an instrumental album,
and it's gone from that into a full -fledged
Tony Iommi project. But then I thought, oh, wait,
I want to try it with a singer. So that's what
I've been doing. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That
was your music news. And remember, bar chords
are bullshit. They're expensive, usually American
-made instrument, like a guitar or a drum set.
bass or amp and all that stuff. Yep, that's what
everybody did. I mean, most of us were not allotted
money. Yeah. You had to do it on your own. Your
parents, you come walk up to your parents and
go, I want a guitar. First thing they're thinking
is loud fucking noise all the time. No, no, probably
not. How about a talking truck? Yeah, or they'll
buy you some garage sale find that doesn't even
work. Yeah, yeah, and you don't have an amp.
Yeah. But I remember a lot of the musicians I
was hanging around with when I was a teenager
in my 20s, they would work and save their money,
and they had their dream guitar in mind. This
is the guitar I want, I want that one. Eventually
they'd get it, and that was their only one guitar.
Sometimes they'd have one as backup, but that
was their main guitar, and they always used that
as just the one. Any more? The trend is really
to have multiple guitars and use them in certain
situations, but not necessarily the high dollar
expensive American -made ones. They're going
for like the Epiphones and the Squires and the
LTDs and the Chinese -made Gretsch and, you know,
the not quite student line or beginner, but like
a step up from there. Yeah, yeah, gotcha. You
know, sub - $1 ,000 guitars. whereas an American
-made Strat is going to cost you $1 ,600. An
American -made Les Paul is going to cost you,
I think, starting at $2 ,900, something like
that. These are guitars you can get for $699.
And they're extremely well -made. They sound
great. They play great. And I've seen a lot of
musicians making that switch to the intermediate
-range instrument. and using multiple different
ones. I'm sorry, drummers started doing that,
where they'll appear with, well, on this tour
I'm taking out this kit, and last tour I took
out that kit, and next tour after that I'm thinking
about taking out that kit. It used to be you'd
have the one, and that was your signature sound,
and that's what your endorser wanted you to show
and play, etc. But it actually is helping quite
a bit to get more people into music. You don't
have to save up the multi -thousand dollars to
get something good. You can get something good
for a couple hundred bucks. And now a lot of
musicians are starting to get signature models
on the more budget -friendly guitars. Well, you
figured out the other isn't working anymore.
They have to do something. And the guitar, whoever
owns them now, they have to do the same thing.
And that's probably largely in part by all of
them being sold overseas. It's because, well,
I don't know about tariffs now, but at the time
they could produce them cheaper and sell them
to more people, and that's what they're looking
for is that. And even before tariffs, there's...
is a value -added tax. Yes. There's a wholesaler
in Europe called Newman, or Toman, T -H -O -M
-A -N -N. Also known as a VAT tax. Yeah. A lot
of people don't realize it stands for value -added
tax, but go ahead. So you can get good prices
on a lot of their stuff, but the shipping and
then the value -added tax, it winds up being
just as much as if you bought it here. The only
way it makes sense is if it's something you can't
get here. Well, that is a tariff. Yeah, it's
basically a tariff. And that's what they're wanting
to do over here, which was insane for stuff that
you buy here. Finally, we got that shut down.
The crazies finally shut up about that. I've
got a question for you musically, and this is
something I was going to bring up several weeks
ago, but I kept forgetting, and finally I lost
the paper like I lost my stories. So, okay. Jakey
Lee. Are you very familiar with him? I'm sure
you are, right? Okay. Are you real familiar with
the Ultimate Sin album? Not too familiar. Okay.
Well, all right. It was produced by Ron Nevison.
Okay. And he had a history of producing hip -hop
stuff like that, right? Yeah. And they wanted
to go with a softer, gentler Ozzy at the time,
you know, bring more people on board, which it
worked. Yeah. Jakey Lee had been criticized heavily
for years and still is to some degree. About
his tone on that album. Yeah. You know some of
the songs, right? Bark at the Moon. Yeah. Okay.
Bark at the Moon was off of Bark at the Moon.
But Bark at the Moon, they also criticized that,
but they were more on The Ultimate Song. Oh,
okay. Yeah. Wrong album. But that's similar to
his tone. Yeah, it is. So what happened is, and
I'm relatively sure of this. Yeah. He was following
Randy Rose. Yeah. Randy Rhodes had a real kind
of a metal sound to a lot of his stuff. He was
a classical player, but to get that metal sound
and to play quick, he had to have a real kind
of a metallic sound, and it worked very well.
Yeah, that kind of tone gives you a really good
note definition. Yes, which he was so precise,
that's what he wanted. Jakey Lee came in behind.
Jakey Lee is precise, too, or was and still is,
I'm not sure. Very, very good guitarist. Okay,
so I think that they did that on purpose, and
specifically Jakey Lee. He found the equipment
to anti -Randy Rhodes. Yeah. And people think,
because it's a little bit of a hollow sound and
sounds different, that the tone was jacked off.
But I say no, the tone wasn't jacked. It was
manufactured. to be like that on purpose. And
if you think about it, I think it worked. Because
when Bark at the Moon came out, nobody said,
oh my gosh, he sounds just like Randy Rhoades.
Nobody said that. Everybody said, wow, he can
play Randy's stuff, he can play Iommi's stuff,
and he can play his stuff. He's perfect. So I
want to know, what do you think happened in between
that time when people were looking at it like,
this is great, he's different. And then later
on, history. People wanted to be known that,
oh, that's a horrible tone, when actually it's
what had to be done at the time. Yeah, yeah.
It makes me wonder if there was a decision made
to give them a signature sound. It's like, we
need a signature sound that when anyone hears
the guitar, they know it's you. And maybe that
was their attempt? Cherville sponsored it. Yeah.
He was a big Cherville sponsor. He played them
in concert. I'm pretty sure they paid him to
play Chervilles in concert. Yeah. Later it becomes
Cherville Jackson, and now I don't know. The
Charvel is still around as a very small kind
of independent company. Somebody has bought the
naming rights, et cetera. But then Jackson is
on its own. Yeah. Okay, that's what I thought.
Okay, so I'm just tired of that because I recently
read some Reddit shit and people are bagging
on his tone. They're idiots. I think that tone
was so unique that it's misunderstood. There
are a lot of times I'll hear a guitar tone that's
like really different, and my first impression
is, oh, that's odd. But if I listen to it long
enough, it's like I can hear all the musicality
that's in it. It's still a good tone. That's
exactly the way to describe it. Yeah. As a matter
of fact, Bark at the Moon, with what he used,
the equipment he used, to get a song like Rock
and Roll Rebel is insane. Because he made that
crunchy without any type of crunchy sound at
all. Yeah. Also, another thing that was bagged
on about Jakey Lee is he did an interview about
two years ago. And he said this. They're talking
about being compared to Randy Rhoades and all
that. First off, he shut that down, which is
true. He had never been compared to Randy Rhoades.
There's no way you could. They're two. Anyone
that knows music. Yeah. There's no way. They're
completely different players. He's blues -based.
Randy Rhoades was classical -based, just to start,
just the very tip of it. It's like Eddie Van
Halen and Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yes, that's a great
example. They're totally different animals. Yes.
Yeah. So, here's what he said, not verbatim,
but pretty close. He said, playing my parts are
more difficult, which it is, because he used
the chords with the picking, and Randy Rhoads
was fast, you know, okay, and a lot of notes,
but not easy to play. His was harder to play
because you had to do these notes, stretch your
fingers out, and then hit them in concession,
okay, like Killer of Giants. That right there,
that beginning, that intro is insanely, insanely
hard to play. So he said, but, he said, you want
to talk songwriting? I take my hat off to him.
Yeah. That's all he said for that. Yeah, he just
told the truth. And people are all over saying
he bagged Randy Rose. No, he didn't. He gave
him a compliment. Yeah, absolutely. He told the
truth with a compliment on the backside. And
that pisses me off that people go, oh, he said
that he wasn't as good. He did not say that.
Yeah. What he said was we were saying there are
two different players. He didn't say anyone was
definitively better or not. He just said they're
different. Yeah. And that's something that's
been eating my ass for a couple of years now
going bullshit because I said that to Dave. He
goes, yeah. He goes, I'm already on it. Pisses
me off too. So, anyhow. You know, that kind of
puts me in mind of back in the mid, late 70s
when Ted Nugent. Wasn't political yet. He was
just out there playing guitar with long hair
and a beard. When he was doing Bear... What was
the name? Something the Bear? Fred the Bear?
I don't know. Fred the Bear? Yeah, yeah. It's
a weird little guitar instrumental, but he sings
on it. Well, it's not Ted Nugent. It's another
singer. He's talking about Fred the Bear out
in the woods. Google it. I will. And listen to
it. Yeah, go ahead. I remember at the time. Oh,
hey, how you doing? Good. Good. Hey, Franco,
everybody. Awesome guy. Come on over. Oh, I'm
sorry. You look in a hurry. I didn't mean to
stop you. No, no, no. It's fine. All right. Hey,
what's going on today? Mush. Mush is sheep. We
talked about him a lot on the last podcast. Yeah,
go ahead. Go ahead. Say what you want. We've
already talked about him, and it wasn't very
good. It wasn't complimentary. Yeah, they definitely
need to do some work on the offensive line. Offensive
line, the D -line sucks. They haven't had a sack
in 12 quarters. I think they need to get a new
voice in there. They need to get a new offensive
coordinator. Oh, definitely Matt Nagy's got to
go. I mean, not that he's bad, but it's just
I never liked his style. It's not working anymore.
Well, okay, what he did when they first had Mahomes
and he was offensive coordinator was working.
Now it's not, and he can't seem like he can't
get over that deep ball phase. Yeah. He can't
get that out of his head. And I feel like now
where Mahomes, he's turning into a game manager.
Yeah. He went from that. That's a pretty good
one, yeah. He's not really good at it. No. But
he went from. doing these amazing things to now
he's just managing the game, hikes the ball,
he does a circle, then he'll throw it either
out of bounds or he throws it over a guy's head
if he tries to go deep. Yeah. Do you think some
of his route running, I mean, is it possible
to miss, as precise as he's been, is it possible
for him to miss that bad constantly after that?
Or does he – did he get something wrong in his
head from running? Maybe he's a little gun shy.
That's what I'm thinking. But I just feel like,
you know, Mahomes, he's in his prime right now.
30 years old. I mean, for him just to not do
the things that he's – I mean, something's just
not making sense. I just kind of think he's managing
the game more so. I mean. Okay. Something Romo
brought up, and I hate to admit it when Romo's
right. He's right more than I'd like to admit.
Yeah. He said, I can see Mahomes going through
his progression of receivers way too quick. And
he's right. He looks at this guy, moves off to
this guy, moves off to that guy. That guy just
got open. He moved off and in a quarter second
he was open. I see that, and then I see a lot,
too, where he'll just hike the ball. He's looking
one direction. If he's ever open, he'll try to
throw. Yeah, stares down his receiver. Yeah.
To where before he would hike. spring the whole
field. Yeah. And he had more time too though.
Yeah. Okay. All right. So he doesn't have as
much time and that's one of the issues. Okay.
So what do you think they have to do to fix this
issue? Is it an offensive line? A better one?
Is that it? They need to get some people, but
it's like, it's like, okay, like with Jawan Taylor.
You know, last year was an issue with him jumping
off sides. Yeah. You know, I don't know. I guess
he hasn't been as bad with it. Not as bad, no.
You know, some of these things, like then, last
year, where was the coaching? Where was the offensive
line coach to say, hey, what's going on? Where's
Andy Reid to say, hey? And here's what sucks
is Jawan Taylor was out, and we were worse. Yeah.
Yeah. That's pretty bad. Yeah, that's bad. And
Josh Simmons, I'm not going to lay into him too
hard. I mean, he had a personal issue. No, I
agree. Family comes first. I would say next year,
if he's having an issue. Well, he's got that
shattered wrist and dislocated. But my boss brought
up a really good point. He said there's people
who have had that a lot. in the past, which is
true. And they gave him special apparatuses to
wear. So after he told me that, I kind of calmed
down on the whole thing. I'm like, okay, he'll
be all right. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. Yeah. And he'll
be back. So I can't call club cast on it. Yeah.
Yeah. And everything else is unfortunate. Yeah.
Club cast, which can work in your favor. Yeah.
I say razor blade, like a WWE guy. And you just
slice him in the forehead. He starts bleeding.
Yeah. And then you go, he cut me. You're right.
No, I. You fly. like Josh Allen, and have blood
come out. But yeah, they need to fix a lot of
areas, especially on the offense. Defensively,
Chris Jones ain't doing what he should be doing.
They've got to find a sucker team to pawn him
off on and get somebody better. Bottom line,
they're paying too much money. Running back,
we definitely need to get a running back. Oh,
yeah. But Chetko, they've got to let him go.
As much as I love the guy, he won't stay healthy.
I mean, shoot, hilarious. I mean, he came in
that one. He looked okay, yeah. He looked like
he was running with an attitude. He was better
than I've ever seen in a long time since his
rookie year. So, I mean, we got some trade bait
and stuff. Hunt is doing so well. Hunt is the
kind of guy, he's a downfield runner. You keep
him in the game, and you keep running him. 30
times a carry, got the ball. I mean, what do
you have, over 1 ,000 yards? Every time we've
made him a priority, he's rushed over 100 yards.
So why do they keep dropping off of him? Is that
Mahomes because of his arm? And Mahomes just
going, no, no, no, I'm going to throw this. That's
another thing. Why don't they establish the run?
Yes. I mean, I remember that from when I was
a kid. It's like establish the run, and then
everything else will kind of work into play.
You can do play action. You're on the field more,
so their defense isn't on the field as much.
But here is what I always thought they should
have done, and this is the way I was taught when
I was younger too by several coaches that knew
what they were doing growing up. Okay. All right.
You establish the big back at the front. He brutalizes
offensive line. He just keeps running at them.
Whether it's working or not, you wear them down.
You take someone like Worthy or Thornton, you
give them the ball as a running back. They're
faster. They get through because these guys are
hurting. They've got a hurting wrist. They've
got a hurting elbow. And they're slower because
they've been trying to stop this guy, this hunt
guy, all this time. And you put in this speedy
back. It looks like it's going to be a catch
-and -run situation. No, it's an option. Yeah.
And he's got the ball. Either that or if they
catch it, he runs in route. And what would be
kind of good, I wish they would do, they haven't
done it since Sherman went out, is get a fullback.
Yeah. Yeah, I agree. They used to run like I
-formation. They used to have, you know, but
they went away from that. They just have the
two running backs. Yeah, the fullback position
is really being phased out. But having a fullback
in there who's good at run and pass blocking.
And then on passing downs, he can either stay
in the block or flare out to be the dump -off
guy. So you get one with good hands. That can't
be that hard to find. P. Ryan last year, and
they let him go. And he saved so many games for
us last year by getting that fourth down in the
end of the game, that third down in the end of
the game. He did that so well. Then they let
him go to Cincinnati, and he's doing that over
there. Yeah. I don't understand the logic of
letting some guy that actually is doing it go.
He didn't command that much money. I wonder also
about the blocking schemes for the O -line. Because
they don't seem to have too much trouble with
the run, but they let guys through on passing
downs like crazy. I was thinking one day too,
or one time watching them. Maybe a lot of that
holding is because they don't know what Mahomes
is doing. Yeah. That's very possible. He runs
this way, he runs that way, he goes straight.
He starts going this way and the guy whips around.
I mean, I don't know. I'm more of that old school,
like the pocket style. Yeah. I mean, I wish he
would just sit there, move up, pass. But, I mean,
there's so many times where. The line starts
to, you know, the pocket starts to form. And
he runs out of it, yeah. And it's like, okay,
then you dump off. But then he does all that
stuff and it's either thrown out of bounds or
he throws it over a guy's head. Yeah. Everybody,
this is Franco from Corollos. Hey, what do you
got going on at Corollos? We got the best Italian
sausage and cannolis in town. You do. Also, another
thing that I loved I got the other day, I think
you were actually there, was the pistachio cake.
Yes. That shit is insane. Oh, my God. I took
that home. And I'm like, well, I'm going to give
some to Bob. I'm going to give some to Val. I
ended up eating a little bit more of it than
I thought. So they got smaller pieces than I
anticipated. That shit is insane. Glad you liked
it. And then the cannolis are insane, too. You
guys make them every day, don't you? Yep. Yeah,
they're so good. On the weekends, we probably
sell over at least 300. Wow, yeah. I made some
stromboli with your Italian sausage. Oh, my gosh.
Do you put fennel in there? Yes. That's what
tastes so good. Oh, gosh, yeah. It's good in
a sauce, too. You just throw the sausage in there,
let it cook in the sauce. It reminds me of laconico.
Laconico. It's Greek sausage. Oh, okay. Actually,
Greek. salami. Okay. Yeah. Laconico's Greek salami.
It has fennel and some other ingredients like
that. It's similar, but not quite. But it's so
good. Man, I'll tell you, if you want good Italian
sausage, Corollos, you don't hear about them
that much, they're the best. Hey, I'm sorry,
go ahead with football. Oh, no. But no, yeah,
they just, and defensively, I think they're okay
defensively. I mean, they just, like I said,
they need to get off the field more. Yeah. They
got off the field more. Yeah, you can't have
the defense out there trying to win you football
games. I mean, you at least have a compromise.
The offense ain't doing nothing to help the defense.
I mean, the defense. You get the defense worn
out that way. They haven't had a sack in 12 quarters.
Is that by design? Or is that because they're
just not getting in? I hope it's by design. I
would hope so, too. I mean, I. I just don't see
95 back there as much as last year. We need to
trade. He's declining, and they need to trade
him to a separate team like, I don't know, the
Titans or somebody. Yeah. Somebody can use, but
it's like he just, I don't know, he doesn't have
that. That attitude like you used to like 50
grand to put in a good word for him Oh, yeah,
Chris Jones is the guy. Oh, yeah, you need to
get him. We're gonna start winning Yeah Yeah,
well there's no legal problem she's gonna need
that 50 and I will I Mean I'd say maybe Give
Andy another year run, but they need to start
thinking about life after Andy Reid. Yeah. Yes,
they do. And it may be coming quicker than we
think. Sometimes all it takes is a season like
this for him to look in the mirror and go, you
know what, I've done everything. And it's like
I said, I mean, Mahomes, we should be seeing
primetime Mahomes. I agree. He's already managing.
I mean. The thing is, if he's managing it, it's
sporadic and horrible. Exactly. I mean, I don't
know what's up, but it's just like I don't ever
remember Brett Favre or Marino, all those guys
just shying away from what they were, and that
was Mahomes has a cannon for an arm, but now
he can't. It's like he's either overthrown or
he's just acting a fool going all over the place.
Yeah, he always looks uncertain. anymore. He's
not exactly sure what's going to go on and what's
supposed to happen. He used to be like, I'm going
to make this happen. It's not that I'm going
to make that happen. Now it's just like, oh God,
what's going on? What's happening? Isn't that
scheme? If you have a great scheme, you come
out confident. You go, oh yeah, we're going to
do this. Look at this, man. We can do this. If
he's not sure, he's going to have that look like,
what does he want me to do? I think it's a little
bit like Matt Nagy. He's okay, but he's not there
directing and telling them, hey, try to do this.
Why are you doing that? I mean, that's why I
run a deli now. And a damn good deli, too. Football
team do way too much work. What's your favorite
sandwich that you guys make? Our number one is
really good. Number one. We also make our chicken
parm, and we make our tang steak as well. Ooh,
Italian steak. Too bad I ate. I'll get that next
time. On Saturdays and Sundays, we do a Sicilian
-style pizza that my dad does. You do? And then
pasta is available on the weekends as well. I'm
going to have to call in sick. Definitely. Oh,
shit, some people listen. I was just joking.
I'd never do that. Never, ever. Hell no. Nuh
-uh. I'm there. You know me. Anyhow, go ahead.
Yeah. Yeah, sorry. You know, I think, to me,
all right, we can make the playoffs. We have
a path. Still, it sucks. I don't think we're
going to do it, but we could. And if we do, it's...
I don't know if I want us to do it. I want them
to sit out. I think so, too. And think about
it. I mean, because I think if we do go in there,
we're... Get embarrassed. Yeah, either the first
or first game, maybe, possibly the second. But
I just... This team isn't playoff... Yeah, they're
not strong enough. No, it isn't. They'll lose
somewhere in there. But it's just... That's a
whole thing that doesn't make sense. How do we
go from being number one, going to the playoffs
these last three years, now all of a sudden we're
at the bottom of the boat? Well, that's some
of the scheme I would attribute a lot of that
to coaching. Yeah. I mean, how else do you decline
like that so much? And like I said, I mean, I'm
not going to put on Spagnolo, but. Well, I got
a fact for you. You can look this up. We are
one point better on giving up points this year
than we were last year. 19 is our average this
year. 20 was our average last year. Yeah. But
we're 6 -6. And last year up to this point, we
lost one game. Wow. 11 -1. Lack of execution
is a big problem. That doesn't make enough sense.
Yeah. We got virtually the same personnel. Well,
and I was going to actually just say that next,
too. I mean, that's a thing. Everybody else got
better. How can we beat the Chiefs? Let's figure
it out, you know. That's another point. Everybody
tempered their game to beat us. We were the gold
standard, and they want to beat us. I mean, why
didn't they go out and try to get a receiver
or try to get another weapon somewhere? I mean,
everybody was like, oh, we got to, you know,
they kept on saying, oh, we're going to get Rasheed
Rice back. We're going to get Worthy back. No,
no, and I fell on board, too. I was like, oh,
that's so speedy. How could you go wrong? I mean,
I was kind of like, okay, yeah, maybe it could
work, but, man, they're just not. They're not
there. And then, like, Hollywood, that guy needs
– I've told you that. He needs to go. He made
too many mistakes. The Jacksonville game. Yeah.
They were making that comeback, and Mahomes threw
it. Well, they were driving down the field. He
threw it. Didn't even turn around and hit him
in the back of the home. Oh, I remember that.
Yeah. And then the Denver game, he – I think
it was before halftime. He went – he should have
gone out of bounds, and he stayed in bounds trying
to – Yeah. And Mahomes – or Andy Reid was like
– telling them, like, come out of bounds. You
know, it's like, you know, why are you making
these mistakes? You see, he was set to go to
Baltimore, and I was all for it. Yeah. I would
have been happier if they would have kept Hopkins.
I was getting ready to go there. I was like,
I would have taken Hopkins over that bozo. Yeah,
they just need to do a complete rehaul of the
offense. And I just hope if they do get another
offensive coordinator that it's – Is Andy Reid
going to let them run? You're not going to give
the enemy back. No, no. I don't think they need
me. They don't need the enemy. I think they need
somebody fresh in there, get a fresh voice. I
got a question for you. Andy Reid needs to let
them do. What's his name over there in Cincinnati?
There's rumors that they're done with Taylor
is his last name. Their head coach? Yeah. Zach
Taylor? Zach Taylor, yeah. There's rumors about
they're unhappy with him, which I don't know
why. I mean, they should be unhappy with Burrow
getting hurt all the time. Man, Burrow came in
looking awesome. He would go back to being a
coordinator. I'd love to see him in Kansas City.
Oh, is he an offensive coordinator original?
I believe he was, wasn't he? I don't think he
was a defensive guy, was he? I believe he was
an offensive coordinator. If I'm wrong, I apologize,
but that's what I thought. I think someone like
that would be a great fit for Kansas City. Look
what he does with Burrow. Yeah, exactly. Shoot,
you got Mahomes. I mean, Mahomes. That's what
I'm saying. If they maybe get somebody fresh
in there, and hopefully if Andy Reid would say,
okay, here. But who knows? Because as of the
point right now, we don't know who's calling
plays or who's not. Yeah, not really telling
us. Yeah, if they get a fresh voice in there,
let them do something more. Sorry, we're keeping
your guy. Hello, this is Phineas J. Altaris III.
I'm here to deliver your music news this evening.
Hold the line. Toto's U .S. tour. is coming together
just fine. I didn't write that. Legendary rock
band Toto will be touring as an evening with
Steve Lukather and Joseph Williams. They have
curated a set list for this entire excursion.
February 18th, the tour kicks off in Milwaukee
and will wrap up in Buffalo, Michigan. Our home
base of Kansas City is getting snubbed unless
you feel like traveling to Tulsa, Omaha, or Des
Moines. That's not very far to travel, so if
you love Toto, there you go. This is Phineas
J. Baltar S. III. That has been your music news
for this evening. I have one burning question
for you all. Do people really skip around the
Maypole? If he could, just be a head coach. Stop
being – I'm not sure if that's in his blood.
No, no, no, it's not. It's not. Yeah, I mean,
see, I was trying to think. There's a lot of
young guys coming up that have a fresh idea on
stuff. But one of the things is, is how hard
is it going to be to coach this out of my homes
now? Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that's – I don't know
how much work they did when they got him because
everybody was just completely all over the Chiefs
for picking him. And that's what I'm saying.
I mean, if they can let whoever comes in there
maybe, you know, give them a new voice to maybe
say, hey, try doing this or do that. But something
you brought up earlier, Mark, is that the Patriots
had their long, long run because they kept changing
as a team. Yes. And Brady changed as a quarterback.
And also, Brady listened to Belichick, too. They
ran the ball when Belichick said so. I'm not
sure if that happens with Mahomes. Yeah, absolutely.
That's a thing. I mean, it used to be when Mahomes
first was coming up, Andy Reid would be right
next to him. They would be sitting there, you
know, looking at the play or whatever. Now you
don't see that no more. No, you're right. Now
he comes over there, but it's like, And you read,
I mean, Mahomes ain't, you know, it's... I started
getting concerned where they're saying, yeah,
Mahomes and Kelsey go home and they make up these
plays at home and then they bring them in and
present them and we put them in the game plan.
Yeah. It's like, isn't that giving a little too
much power to Mahomes and Kelsey? That's what
I thought when I heard that too. We're not seeing
that anymore. And I mean, even Kelsey, that's
a whole other thing. I mean, you don't see that
fire in his eyes. No, not at all. No, you don't.
I think he's thinking about his wedding with
Taylor. Yeah, I think he's – Well, he's our leading
receiver. Is he really? Rice is going to take
him over. Rice is going to take him over. He's
getting closer. But Rice may have well over 1
,000 yards by the time the season's over, which
is insane for missing six games. As much as he
did. And, I mean, he's looking all right. He
ain't looking like nothing. At this point, I
don't think no team looks at the Chiefs and says,
okay, how are we going to do this? No, they're
not. They watch the game play. I've got a question
a little bit different right now, though. Okay,
if not the Chiefs, who do you want to see get
there and win it? We want AFC. Fuck that AFC.
Agreed? Right. Fuck that AFC. All right, it's
got to be AFC. So, go ahead. AFC. What's the
pitcher look like? Denver's the one seed right
now. No, no, no, fuck them. I don't think they
would. They're not quite. The Patriots look good,
but I don't want them to win. The Patriots, yes.
Patriots, like Indianapolis, they look good.
Indianapolis looks good, but I don't know because
they have, what's his name, Jones at the. But
haven't they started to kind of taper off a little
bit? They lost their last two games. Yeah, they
lost the last two. Yeah, Texans and the Chiefs.
Yep. Texas, aren't they still in the hunt? They're
ahead of us right now. They're 7 -5. We're 6
-6. Wow. Yeah, I think the Texans are currently
the leader in that division. They took over from
Jacksonville. Yeah, and we play Texans head -to
-head this week. So, I mean, if they want to
do it, it's got to definitely start this week.
And if it doesn't, then, you know, I'd say take
Mahomes out the rest of the season, whether he
likes it or not. He can go over there and pout.
He can cry, whatever. I don't give a shit. But
he comes out, he gets rested, whether he likes
it or not. And, I mean, NFC side of it, I mean,
shoot, maybe Dallas might make a little push
at the playoffs. I've got two picks against Dallas.
I thought that was the funniest thing all this
beginning of the season, every time that Jerry
Jones, oh, we're just a player away from making
the playoffs, we're being one of the best defense.
But, shoot, now, I mean, they beat the defending
champions, the Eagles, and then they beat the
Chiefs. My theory is two things. They have Dak
Prescott, who eventually will mess it up. Oh,
yeah. And then Ryan Schottenheimer and Jerry
Jones. That is a triple combination of something
going wrong somewhere. But the thing is, I don't
care who you would get in Dallas, Jerry Jones,
he's in the mix of everything. Yeah, I never.
That's the number one problem. Why would you
take that job? Yeah. You're always going to get
shut down like Mike Parsons, Micah Parsons. Like
Mike Holger. Holger was, I mean, I remember when
he was in Green Bay. I know towards the end it
got kind of bad for him, but, I mean, he's a
decent coach. He's the one that had Andy Reid
on his staff. Yep. You know, I mean, he found
him and said, this guy's got some talent. You
know, and then Andy Reid pretty much surpassed
him by far. Holmgren went to the Super Bowl two
times, and then in Seattle he was fair, if I
remember correctly. He won one, lost one. Oh,
I'm sorry. Did I say Mark? I meant McCarthy.
McCarthy. Oh, McCarthy. Oh, yeah. Dallas, yeah.
That's all. I'm sorry. Oh, no, no, no. That's
fine. Okay. No, yeah. When he was in Green Bay,
he was doing all right. And they were both in
Green Bay, Holmgren and McCarthy. Yeah. Yeah,
Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy, he started out
good, but he lost the team somehow. Yeah. I remember
he'd come out rolling, and everyone was making
fun of him. He can't do it. And he'd come out,
and they were playing really hard. And I think
it was Dak. But just Dallas, it's so much drama
there. I don't think they'll ever get to the
Super Bowl again because of Jerry Johnson. Yeah,
absolutely. He has such a need for control that
he'll screw up the team doing it. Oh, and then
the Bears. The Bears are looking. I think they
can make a good. Push that in. I was actually
kind of surprised about that. They got the number
one seed. And guess who's their running back
coach? Yeah, I know. We talked about that. Yeah.
But, I mean, to our defense, everybody passed
on him. Except for Chicago. That's weird. I can't
believe everybody did that. He actually went
to college to get back in the pros. And the guys
had nothing but success. I don't know what's
going on there. It's weird. It is weird. It's
very weird. I mean, does he get drunk and run
around the halls naked or some shit that we don't
know about? What did you hear about when he was
in Washington? You know, he was in Washington.
Yeah, yeah. I think he was offensive coordinator
maybe. Yeah, he had to get a step up. Yeah, he
had to do a lateral move. He wouldn't go down.
So he'd be an offensive coordinator. And the
players, they didn't like how hard his practices
were. Mm -hmm. Yeah, and he was also hurting
a lot of feelings. I mean, he was very blunt
with his language, and he yelled a lot, and he
hurt a lot of people's feelings. And the chief's
attitude was... They're big boys. They make a
lot of money. Yeah, yeah. Mahomes was the one
who said, you know, what we liked about the enemy
is he killed us accountable. He wouldn't let
anyone get away with anything. And it was tough,
and we didn't like it, but it helped us as a
team. And I think that's what we're lacking now
is nobody's. That's okay, buddy. We'll get him
next time. Exactly, exactly. Come here, Patrick.
It's not your fault. I think that's what this
team is missing on the offensive side of it.
Nobody's doing that. Yeah. But you were mentioning
earlier about the Patriots, how they were always
rebuilding their staff or whatever. That's another
thing. The Chiefs, I think they have the same
exact staff, everything. I know. It really helps
the other teams figure you out. Yes, I agree.
I think after a certain amount of success, you
push the staff to get another job somewhere higher
up, and then you replace them with the people
that were working for them. or someone completely
different for different ideas. And that's, I
agree, that's what's not happening with the Chiefs
is no innovative ideas to how to use all the
talent. Yeah. I mean, the slant pass was working
so well. Why did they take it away? That's a
good question. The little dump off was working
well. The little over the offensive, or the defensive
lineman. over to Kelsey in the middle was working.
It was disrupting them coming in and teeing off
on Mahomes. And I know a lot of people, we have
Tyreek Hill, he was able to, yeah, he was fast,
but - We also won two Super Bowls without him.
Yeah, exactly. And Miami has won none with him.
Right, right, and now he's injured. So when he
comes back, I don't think he's gonna - He keeps
putting up messages on X that's not going to
be very good for him. He put up something the
other day and said it's time to go home. Yeah.
People assumed he was here, but he's from Oklahoma,
isn't he? He could be talking about that. Yeah.
Yeah, he could be talking about Oklahoma. Yeah,
I hope they don't. I mean. No, they're not going
to. They have a chance. An injury like that,
a wide receiver, you're supposed to be one of
the fastest guys in the league. I don't think
he's coming back. Number one, he's, what, 32,
33? Right. And he had a major injury. And he's
a short guy? No. And he bad -mouthed us so much.
That's the biggest thing right there. That's
like we were talking, too. What about Scadaboo?
Yeah. He had a leg and ankle injury, kind of
like Dak Prescott had. You're a running back.
You've got to plant that foot all the time. That
sucks. He was so good, too. And he was a power
guy. Yeah, they're going around with signs going
Shaquan Who and all that stuff. And then he goes
down like, oh, forget it. You have to fly him
off to Germany for some of those special stem
cells. Stem cells. For the really important players.
Right. They'll heal you in a week. It worked
on Eddie Van Halen and Tony Iommi. It did. Stem
cells, yeah, they had this arthritic condition,
both of them. The first guy to get it was Eddie
Van Halen, and he couldn't play. He's like, this
can't fucking happen. I got to play. So he went
to Germany. He found this stem cell guy. If what
I read is correct, I think it is. I read it in
enough outlets. And he had these injections.
His hands got better, and he came back playing
just as good as ever. Really? Tony Almey had
the same thing happen. He's freaking out. Eddie
Van Halen found out about it and called him because
they're best friends. You know, Black Sabbath
started him off with a tour. Okay. It had him
opening for him and really got him over the top,
you know. Wow. Alex Life's in a rush, too. Yeah,
that's right. I forgot. Alex Lifeson. They quit
touring because Alex Lifeson said, my hands are
deteriorating to the point where I can't play
well enough to suit myself, so I don't want to
play anymore. And then in the meantime, Neil
Peart died. But now they've replaced him. And
suddenly Alex Lifeson is fine to go back on the
road and tour. No, he had something like that
happen. He had something done. He didn't tell
anyone. I remember that. He said, I just can't
do it anymore. I didn't know that about Eddie
Van Halen. I told you I was a huge fan. Huge
Van Halen fan. That was my very first concert
I ever went to at Camper Arena. Steven Tyler
of Aerosmith. Remember when he blew his voice
out? Oh, he'll never sing again. And then all
of a sudden, well, he might be able to sing once,
but never tour again. Yeah, he's back to himself.
He got those magic stem cells. Pete Townsend.
He blew his ears out. He couldn't hear anymore,
and he stepped down. A year later, he came back.
Everything's fine. Wow. Yeah, there's magic.
There's medicine available to them that is not
available to them. Roger Daltrey is going deaf
and blind. Pink Townsend's the one that happens.
No, he is. He's retiring. Pink Floyd, yeah. No,
no, no, The Who. Oh, The Who, yeah. Pink Floyd's
a whole other story. Those dimwits. That's Roger
Waters and David Gilmour on that one. Yeah. Oh,
Brian Setzer. He had that autoimmune disease
that took away his ability to play guitar, and
he figured, I'll never play again. Now he's all
better, and he's about to play again. I'd forgotten
all about that. Yep. He used to be at the Stray
Cats, and then he's got his own big band. Rockabilly.
Oh, okay. Rock this town, rock this. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Stray Cats guy. Yeah, Brian Setzer. Yeah.
Yep. All of a sudden, his hands are all better.
Yeah. Wow. Yeah, amazing what little aborted
babies can do for you. I don't think they're
on the same health plan we are. No, that does
not cover aborted fetuses. He's on the Senate
health plan. The senators and the representatives,
that congressional health care plan. Yeah, where
they all fly over there and get it. Van Allen,
again, who did you prefer, David or Sammy Agar?
I think they wrote better music with Sammy, but
it was more fun with Dave. If I were going to
see him live, I'd want to see him with Dave.
I was a David Lee Roth fan. I love their songs
so much better. Sammy Hagar was good, but it
wasn't my thing. They had too many harmonies
and too many melodies. They lost the fun. They
lost the fun, yeah. Yeah, the party fun band.
All of a sudden, they were serious musicians.
Alex Van Halen is a good brother. I read it,
right? And he put it like this, and I agree with
him. Sammy Hagar was furious. He goes, they did
not mention me once. Alex Van Halen did not mention
me once in the book. He said, well, he goes,
quite frankly, the magic was gone after the original.
line up left yeah and he met David Lee Roth then
it was just a job then it was just a job yeah
and I agree with him when he said that I'm like
that puts it perfectly the magic was no longer
there and that was 50 was one of their it was
a great album but I like the high strut I don't
like David Lee Roth now though yeah oh my god
that guy's gotta give it up well I think I was
telling you I mean I had a chance to see David
Lee with with Van Halen, but that's when Mike
Anthony didn't go on tour with Wolfgang. So I
was like, that's not the original lineup. I would
have liked to have seen the original lineup with
David Lee, but I never got a chance. Wolfgang
is a better musician than Michael Anthony, but
I like Michael Anthony better. I mean, it's just
the way it is. I mean, his heartbeat bass was
what they needed. And Wolfgang is a great musician,
better than, you know, much better than Michael
Anthony. He probably didn't admit that, but the
band needed him. Are they even, Van Halen, is
it still going? No, Alex is retired. I read this
from Wolfgang Van Halen, and Alex, this is in
Alex's book, too. Okay. Okay. They were going
to do a tribute show. Nuno Betancourt was going
to handle, because I guess I found out that Nuno
and Eddie were best friends. Okay. And I guess
when Eddie was close to death, he said, hey,
if you guys do anything, you know, like a tribute
or something, I want you playing my part. And
he said, yes, I will. And Nuno is good enough.
I mean, Nuno is just insane how good he is. That
was going to happen, right? And they said, well,
we need David Lee Roth because they still hate
Sammy and Sammy still hates them. They still,
you know, spar verbally. David Lee Roth took
and he said, and then Alex Van Halen said, all
right, yeah, we're going to do this. We're going
to go on tour as this tribute, okay? And then
David Lee Roth said, okay, well, what, you know,
what are we going to do on the tribute? So what
we got to mention Eddie every, and he goes on
every show and he goes, I'm not going to do that.
You can look this up. It's in the book. And he
goes, I'm not going to do that. And Alex was
like, fuck you. Get out of here, prick. He goes,
I don't even want to see you anymore. He did
not want to talk about Eddie at least once when
it's a tribute to him. Yeah, that's just nuts.
I know. I was just like, what a fool of himself.
And the guy looks like Skeletor. Sammy, with
his band, I mean, they are. The Perfect Circle
or something like that. Chickenfoot's another
one. Chickenfoot is another one. Perfect Circle
is one. And then he does several things. I don't
think he's even solo anymore. No, no, no, he
has a band. He's got Michael Anthony in it. Yeah,
Michael Anthony tours. Jason Bonham was on drums.
Yeah, now, who did it? Kenny Aronoff. Yeah, yeah.
From John Mellencamp. They got rid of Jason Bonham.
He was taking care of his ill mother, I think,
wasn't it, right? Yeah, he had a lot of other
responsibilities and things. So he was just like,
he actually came back and said, you know, okay,
I'm ready now. And then Sammy said, nah, it's
all right, we already got somebody else. So Jason
Bonham was like, well, okay, but, you know, that
kind of hurts my feelings. That's another one.
I wish Zeppelin would, because they were always
talking about maybe that, and they said that
his son, Jason, was. Well, I got the answer to
that. Robert Plant finally talked about it a
little bit because he wouldn't really address
the subject before. He said, there is no way
I could ever sing that ever again. So it's not
possible. He doesn't even want to try it. Besides
that, all that screaming and stuff, he would
never be able to sing again. He was off key.
I loved his stick. I loved his style and everything.
But his voice was off key constantly. Definitely
no auto -tune back then. He was like a very talented
David Lee Roth. A friend of mine was telling
me that he saw an interview with John Mellencamp.
In this interview, I guess he said, because you
know he cleaned up everything, but I guess he
said the best music he wrote was when he was
on drugs. Scott Weiland of STP said the same
thing. He cleaned up the mirror into their album
song. And I agree with him, too. When I heard
that, I was like, wow, that probably makes a
lot of sense. I mean, virtually every band after
they cleaned up Motley Crue, they can't write
a song to save their life right now. They have
to use AI now. Yeah, they have to use AI. Motley
Crue, that was a cool band. I saw them at Camper,
too. Oh, I did, too. Did you see Whitesnake opening
up for him? Was it that concert or was it the
one before? Oh, man. Geez, I couldn't even tell
you. There's Theater of Pain, then there's Dr.
Feelgood. I think Whitesnake was Dr. Feelgood.
Girls, Girls, Girls, I forgot who opened up.
Whitesnake was David Cuffordell. He was the one
with Here We Go Again. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He came
from Deep Purple. With the chick up on the BMW.
Tawny Katane. Tawny Katane, yeah. Yeah. I wish
I could have seen them. I had a chance to go
see Whitesnake. Oh, he was really good in concert
because he almost got as much time as Motley
Crue because the audience demanded it. Right.
They kept screaming and they had to come back
out. There was nothing they could do. They weren't
good. And then finally, it was just like, go
back out and do a couple songs. You know, a band
that I feel like kind of got overlooked a little
bit was because they were all in that hair metal
band era. Poison. Yeah, I feel like they were
they were up there with I mean that they I know
they're on the list But this seems like they
their music kind of got overlooked from like
Motley Crue. There's a certain I don't know if
you call it prejudice the certain hype or something
about a hairband. There's a certain stigma. Yeah,
they tend to get dismissed. They get dismissed.
Like, oh yeah, the ones that wore the tight pants.
But the 80s, there was some, I mean, you had
Europe. Yeah, it was great. I've got a Poison
story. Oh, okay. Did you know that Slash auditioned
for Poison? Yeah, I did. And he made, they even
had a callback. Said, yeah, yeah, we want you
back for a second audition. And he said, I didn't
really like their music. But I could play it
just fine. It was okay, but I wasn't really excited
about it. He said the thing that turned me off
and just basically turned my stomach was every
concert, each member of the band steps up to
the microphone and introduces himself. Hi, I'm...
you know ricky rocket hi and he said the idea
of walking up the microphone hi i'm slash it
no i can't do it i don't i would rather not be
in the band than have to do that that is cookie
cutter crap right there that stuff yeah and he
said on the way out the door he said here's this
guy with pink hair and eyeliner and earrings
all sorts of makeup that was cc deville and that
was the guy they hired and their first album
sold five million copies and slash said but you
know what Guns N' Roses' first album sold 30
million copies. Yeah, so you made the right choice.
And also, another thing is, remember when they
got rid of CeCe DeVille, they brought in Richie
Cotsen? Yeah. And it sucked. It just fucking
went under. They needed CeCe DeVille. They needed
that simple guitar player with the easy rhythms
and the look. A guy that used to jump on the
ground and do circles and all that shit. That's
what they needed. They didn't need anyone ultra,
ultra, uber talented. They just needed someone
to do some chords. Yeah. And that's about it.
All right, guys. All right. Franco, thank you
very much. Appreciate it. Yeah, it was great
talking to you. Oh, this is Topher. Topher. Thank
you. And I'm Mark, of course. Yeah. All right.
I'll see you later. Good talking to you. He got
us off on sports, bonus sports coverage, and
then right back to the music crease. I started
doing that. I was like, oh, shit. I thought halfway
through, I'm like, this is a music show. I'm
going to start heading that way. We had some
overlap the other way. You know what? We did
go into music on the other one. You know what?
It's free. Yeah. It evens out. Yeah, it evens
out. So there you go. Oh, I got a question. Yeah.
Ms. Goldfinstein, what happened to her? She's
no longer here. I hear you have the skinny on
it. Yeah, yeah. As we understand it, she's been
having troubles with this lawsuit she had against
her former commanding officer in the, I think
it was the Air Force that she was in. Yeah, I
understand. She's highly decorated. Yeah, and
she actually worked in the intelligence branch
in the Air Force, and her commanding officer
apparently, you know. was pressuring her for
sex on the job. Yeah, it got pretty ugly. Yeah,
and she had an ongoing lawsuit with him even
after she was out of the service, etc. Some of
the things I've heard is that there were a number
of people who wanted her and her lawsuit to just
go away quietly, and they couldn't buy her off
because she yelled at walls and slammed chairs
around. We have her on tape. Yeah. She tried
to come shove art chairs around with us in them.
Oh, yeah. Well, that wall over there, which is
now Murmuration, part of City Market Coffee,
she used to hate that wall. Oh, man. I don't
know what that wall did to her, but it was bad.
It was. Oh, yeah. She had a lot of anger towards
that wall. I heard that she's doing reconnaissance
work. Yeah, yeah. They really couldn't, like,
silence her. No, she's way too crafty. She'd
kill them all if she wanted to. She's a highly
decorated assassin, I guess. Yeah, if you work
in intelligence, you've got to learn how to take
care of yourself and get out of bad situations.
I've seen her high -kick that sign over there.
Oh, yeah, that's up there. She was so mad. But
I think right now they're just working on discrediting.
Yeah, they're trying to ruin her image. When
people know better, they know Miss Golfenstein
and her heroic actions. Yeah, but I think eventually
what will happen is she'll be listed as missing.
Yes. And that's all we'll ever hear about it.
And she did turn Rob into a capuchin monkey.
Yeah. Yeah. That took some skill. Yeah, because
she was winged on being a high priestess voodoo
in New Orleans, around that area. And she heard
us making fun of her. This is why we don't make
sport of her anymore. It's because she turned
Rob into a monkey. And Rob got beat up pretty
bad because he wanted to sell Amway to the other
monkeys. I mean, it was pretty bad. Yeah, it
was an ugly thing. I mean, but Rob always wanted
to be a diamond tier Amway, his capuchin monkey.
And he had the perfect opportunity when he was
changing. Yeah, get the little tiny. Pink Cadillac,
monkey -sized Cadillac. Yes, and all that. No,
the Great Apes, I guess, owned stock in Sam's
Club and beat his ass with a switch for a while.
I mean, yeah, that was pretty much it. I guess
he could try Tupperware, but Tupperware's not
even a thing anymore. If I was him, I'd do some
research and see what the Great Apes are up to.
Yeah. You know, because I wouldn't go in it blindly
like last time. That did not work in his favor.
No, I've heard they might be into cryptocurrency.
Oh, I better tell Rob because he was going to
do that next. I can speak Capuchin now a little
bit. Oh, cool. Yeah, you want to hear it? Sure.
You know what I said? Nothing. Oh, okay. Anyhow,
let's see. Yeah, now that we're way off subject
and I brought us there and I swerved us out into
the ditch, I'm sorry. Do you want to keep going
or you got anything? I'm kind of tapped out.
Yeah, me too. Like I said, I lost all my music
notes, but I think Franco kind of saved us with
some conversation there. Brought up some stuff
we were able to talk about. You got, I guess,
one more thing. I have kind of a clarification
on something. Okay. About, I don't know, six
months to a year ago, I was reporting that the
owner of Paul Reed Smith Guitars, Mr. Paul Reed
Smith himself, has come out publicly over and
over saying tone woods don't matter. Don't make
a difference. Everyone's hung up on what wood
the guitar is made of. It doesn't matter. Yeah,
I remember that. He was being a little vague
in that. You could make a guitar out of plastic,
and yeah, it's going to matter. Or you could
make the guitar out of composition board. Yeah,
it's going to matter. But what he meant was,
of all the woods that are considered tone woods,
mahogany and maple and alder and swamp ash, whichever
one you pick doesn't matter. That's what he meant
to say. That makes more sense. Yeah, so pick
a tone wood, but whichever one you pick really
doesn't matter. A lot of people, I wouldn't believe
on that, and they're just trying to, I see how
that happened. Yeah. He was asked, and then it
was put down in print, and it sounded, when you
read it, it would look just like that. It sounded
like, it's like, hey, I'll make it out of concrete
and spit for all I care. Yeah, and I'm like thinking,
wait a minute, that doesn't make sense, especially
from a guitar, yeah. Yeah. I think it's odd that
he has the same name as his company. How did
that happen? I think they went looking for somebody
named Paul Reed Smith. I think you're right.
Hey, the company's named this. We've been fine
to do. Hey, I found one in the yellow pages right
here. He says stupid stuff, but, you know, hey,
let's get it. Yeah, we don't care. But that also
explains something that Leo Fender always said.
That's another one. How did he come up with Fender
guitars? Yeah. That's weird how that works out.
It was originally going to be named after musician
Freddie Fender. Yeah, yeah. But then Leo Fender
stepped in and... They must have found him. Yeah.
But anyway, what Leo Fender did was... He bought
whatever tone wood was cheapest. So like one
year, all the strats were made of American poplar.
And another year, they're all made of swamp ash.
Another year, they made out of basswood. People
are like, why do you keep changing? And he kept
saying, well, you know, the audio qualities of
this and this pickup. It was all just a smoke
screen. It was whatever is cheapest. That's what
he was going to buy. Where the hell was that
pension at? Someone's going nuts. It's pretty
close. Yeah, it is. As long as he doesn't crap
on the microphone. Yeah, that's what I was worried
about. The other day I came here and there was
a couple of pigeons fucking mounting over there.
Yeah. It was crazy. Everyone's walking by giggling,
but nobody said anything. Nobody said, well,
I think we interrupted. I almost said that. I
was like, yeah, I'm just going to let it go.
But anyhow, they're just banging away. And I
was like. What you can do is get everyone's attention,
point at them and say, those pigeons are seeing
sex. And see who gets angry and who doesn't.
You got something you want to talk about? Is
everything okay over there? You got a little
angst. Yeah. I don't know. One more other thing
I want to say. Leo Fender. After he sold Fender
to CBS, he started Music Man. And then he sold
that and started G &L. G &L, yeah. He was the
L in... I didn't know that. Leo Fender? Yeah,
he was L for Leo, and I forget who the G was.
Goldfinstein. Yeah, Goldfinstein. Yeah, yeah,
Miss Goldfinstein. But he has since passed away,
and GNL went out of business. But the original
Fender company has bought all of the intellectual
property created by Leo Fender at GNL. So now
Fender can make anything that GNL used to make
and sell it legally as a Fender guitar. It's
nice that they're bringing Leo Fender's inspiration
and technology back into the original Fender
company. Probably be some decent Fenders coming
out in the next few years. Might be. Yeah. Okay.
I'm more of an Epiphone slash Gibson kind of
guy. Oh, I'm an Epiphone. Yeah, I love Epiphones.
Yeah. And one of the reasons is the guitarists
I admire. A lot of them play Epiphone. They can
play anything they want, but they don't. They
play Epiphone. Tommy Thayer has a signature.
I like that one, yeah. And Tommy Thayer gets
dogged on a lot. That guy's a great guitarist.
He is a great guitar player. Really good. I don't
know where people get that. I think what it is
is Ace was so prolific, so popular, so loved,
that no one could go in there and just do it.
Especially with the Spaceman. That was the biggest
thing right there. They should have changed.
His makeup. Yeah. And Eric Singer's makeup. But
Eric Singer didn't get as much criticism as Tommy
Thayer. Yeah. They should have changed his makeup
and made him something else. I don't know why
they didn't. Because that thing right there is
what pissed people off the most. Yeah. Yeah.
You're trying to tell us it's the same. I mean,
when the Ramones would lose a band member and
they drafted a new guy, they'd retire whatever
name. the leaving guy had and the new guy would
have a new name. Yeah, with Ramone. They'd all
pretend to have the last name Ramone, you know,
and, you know, Johnny left and Georgie came in
and Cece and Billy and whatever, you know, it's
like... Guadalupe, I don't know. Yeah, they pretended
they have this giant family of Ramones and they're
all punk rock artists and they all dye their
hair black to fit in. There's people that fucking
believe that too. Yeah. They found another one.
It's kind of like Leonard Skinner, you know,
they keep finding it and it's like... Well, ACDC
did that. They found somebody to sub in for Malcolm
when he was out of it. Oh, yeah, that's his cousin.
Stevie Young. Yeah, yeah, and nobody noticed
him. He looked so much like Malcolm, nobody could
even tell. He played so much like Malcolm, too.
He played just like Malcolm. He had that same
rhythm. He had that dirty rhythm. I mean, he's
great. Malcolm Young is another guy that will
never get enough credit for what he's done. He
can play much better. Well, what I mean by better
is. More complex? Yeah. But the songs did not
require that. So he's like, nah, this is good.
I'll just keep playing this note. This sounds
good. Yeah. I mean, like TNT, you know, not much
to that. It gets the point across. Yep. Plus,
you know, you got this snotty -ass, their second
singer, Bon Scott. Bon Scott, yeah. They got
that snotty -ass Bon Snot. Snarl on the whole
thing. TNT, I'm dynamite. TNT, I'll win the fight.
I'm a power load. Watch me explode. What a song.
Simple, basic. It's a song that makes you want
to punch someone for no reason. They had the
perfect drummer who just was basic. Very simple,
very basic, very steady. Phil Rudd. Phil Rudd.
He also threatened to... He actually tried to
hire somebody to have somebody killed, but he
beat the rat. Yeah, that's what happened to him.
Yeah, he beat the rat. Yeah. And then the other
one, the one they had after him, had drug problems.
Yeah. And I don't know who they have now. I don't
remember. But I... Because Phil Rudd wasn't going
to do tours anymore. Yeah. Let's see. I liked
Axl Rose filling in. For Brian Johnson when he
had the ear problem. That's another one that
his ears got better. Yep. The magic stem cells.
Magic stem cells. I believe, allegedly, all this.
Allegedly. We don't know. The magic Epstein stem
cells. Yes. But, no. It's a nasty in there. I
love. Axl Rose sounded so much like Don Scott.
He did, surprisingly. I mean, I was ready for
it to suck, but it just didn't. I was too. I
listened to it and wanted to hear how bad it
was. I'm like, he did a whole lot of Rosie, and
I'm like, mother fuck. That's a good song. It's
a great song, and Axl, he did it, and he had
that swagger and sway that he's always had. It
did perfect. I'm like, great, good. Now maybe
we'll get GNR and ACDC. With this guy, they brought
back Brian Johnson, who I'm sorry, but I've never
been a fan of his. No, no, not really. When he
first came out, back in black, and then for those
about to rock, he sounded better. He did. His
voice started going bad because of these things.
I would say probably about... in the 2000s, and
now it gets to where he has to sing so nasally
it doesn't even sound the same. Vince Neil is
another one that does that too. Whenever he does
sing, it doesn't sound the same. It really doesn't,
no. It's almost like the structure there. voice
and sinuses change so much they just can't make
the same sound. Or there's so much wear and tear
on the vocal cords that they just can't make
that kind of sound. I think it's wear and tear
on the vocal cords. Because, I mean, that's what
ruined David Lee Roth is. His voice wasn't good
enough to do what he needed to learn how to sing
for real and sing from his diaphragm so he wouldn't
destroy his voice. Well, he never would. He's
too busy fucking off and screaming. And then
he just got known for his screams, his high -pitched
screams. People are like, I don't care, man.
His screams are awesome listen to that wow and
now he tries to do them now and it's so crazy
oh my god this is so embarrassing his backup
band sounds perfect yeah they're all in harmony
and then he's out there going it's like dude
stop how about the creepy way he grabs his ass
like come and get it oh i know it's not like
i want females it's like uh hey anybody out there
been in jail Come on over. Maybe he's grabbing
his ass because he's having a little accident.
It just depends. He's probably shaking it off.
And then the weird stuff that he does on stage.
It was so creepy. Yeah, that death mask grin
is just... And then the tight pants that he wears.
And people make fun of his Vienna sausage. It
looks like a fucking little thimble stuck in
some fucking tight leather. It's like, dude.
It's like, at least throw some socks in there,
buddy. Be decent. Yeah. It's like Corey Feldman.
His backup band is okay, and they know what the
joke and the gag is, so they're going along with
the joke. It still is funny. And I guess David
Lee Ross' backup band is just treating it that
way. It's like, this guy's embarrassing himself
every night, but we get paid. Look at the looks
on their face. Yeah. Paycheck. Just a job. Paycheck.
Somebody else will hire us because they'll see
how good we're doing. Yeah. That's all it is.
They're just kind of like, okay, don't watch
him. You'll want to stop. Yes. Just keep going.
Look at each other. Not him. You can tell they're
just like, fuck. Yeah. What's wrong with this
guy? It's like, well, where do you want to start?
I remember seeing a Stevie Nicks concert on video
performance on some movie channel or something.
And her lead guitarist and band leader was Waddy
Wachtell. Oh, wow. I haven't heard that name
in a long time. Yeah, really. But Stevie was
acting like she was directing the band. She'd
lift her arm and bring it down for the accents.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. She was totally off on
all of it. Timing was totally dead wrong, and
nobody was watching her. They were watching Waddy,
because Waddy was on it, and he would signal
the real one, and Stevie was over there, you
know, kind of half -assed, pretending, trying
to get it. She was just so badly off. I was like,
girl, stop even trying. Nobody believes you're
directing this band. She couldn't wait to get
off stage and have someone blow fucking cocaine
up her can. Yeah, a special funnel. Yeah, a special
funnel. Boofin'. Oh, my gosh. Oh, yeah. Nothing
to take away from Stevie Nicks. She had all the
talent in the world, but directing the band on
stage just wasn't it. And having her pretend
to was a big mistake on somebody's point. I've
got a question. You think the person that had
to boof her, do you think they lost a bet, drew
the straw, or was it the new guy? It was like,
okay, we're going to hire you, but you've got
to go through initiation. What's that? Well,
you know, in California, they could probably
find somebody who loved blowing up assholes.
Yeah, probably, yeah. So, yeah, they probably
found somebody who that was their dream job.
Did it for free. Yeah. They're like, I'll do
it for free. I'll provide the coke, man. Yeah,
I don't care, man. Just let me inhale once or
twice before I blow it in there. Dog. Fucking
whatever. I'll do it. Bring that asshole here.
I'll blow up it. I don't care. we about ready
to shut this abortion down maybe yeah I think
so before we start talking about Stevie Nicks
dingleberries yes once we get there boof it and
then stay on it for more in a minute it's time
to stop yeah alright everybody thank you for
listening the numbers are reflecting it we really
appreciate you guys are awesome we love you go
fuck yourself
