Hey, my fellow heavy breeders, this is Dash Riptide,

00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:08.919
your music news. Walls of Jericho is a song by

00:00:08.919 --> 00:00:11.019
Bon Jovi that features a guest appearance by

00:00:11.019 --> 00:00:13.859
Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott. According to

00:00:13.859 --> 00:00:17.059
this Instagram post, the track is from the forever

00:00:17.059 --> 00:00:19.920
legendary edition of Bon Jovi's album, which

00:00:19.920 --> 00:00:24.000
was released in October 2025. The song is named

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.019
Walls of Jericho. The song features Bon Jovi

00:00:27.019 --> 00:00:29.839
and Joe Elliott from Def Leppard. Jon Bon Jovi

00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:32.299
chose this song for Elliot to feature on because

00:00:32.299 --> 00:00:35.479
it's stadium rock sound that is reminiscent of

00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.060
both bands. It is their first ever collaboration.

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:42.000
This is Gash Riptine, and that was your music

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.039
news. If it's too loud, you'd probably have ear

00:00:45.039 --> 00:01:11.980
damage, just like me. Alright. That's enough

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:13.719
beatboxing for that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright.

00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:16.739
And you know everybody cringes. They go, oh,

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.540
man, you've got to get through the first minute,

00:01:18.579 --> 00:01:21.099
and that is somewhat tolerable. I wonder how

00:01:21.099 --> 00:01:23.400
many people just shut it off when they hear that

00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.819
awful beatboxing. All of them? All of them, yeah.

00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:28.579
You know, they just hit the skip ahead 30 seconds

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:33.340
button. Hopefully they do that. Well, on this

00:01:33.340 --> 00:01:35.159
one, I got songs that make you stay in the car

00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:38.000
until it's over. Oh, yeah. The Fleetwood Mac

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:42.420
guitar curse. Gene Simmons comments. A couple

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:45.340
of different ones. And then I have some other

00:01:45.340 --> 00:01:48.319
assorted stories that are interesting. Alrighty.

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:51.500
So, you got something you want to hit? Yeah,

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:54.799
let's start off with well -known albums that

00:01:54.799 --> 00:01:57.000
have a bizarre backstory that people may not

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.519
know of. That's cool. The first one I got is

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.260
Led Zeppelin's In Through the Outdoor. Yeah.

00:02:03.260 --> 00:02:06.280
The last one before John Bonham died. Yeah, because

00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.520
CODA was stuff left on the floor that they swept

00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:10.659
up. It was nothing. And they didn't want it released,

00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:13.520
but the record company did. Yeah, and they were

00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:18.699
in charge. Yeah. For that album, Robert Plant

00:02:18.699 --> 00:02:21.060
and John Paul Jones took over the songwriting

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:25.080
tours. Page and Bonham were pretty much unreliable

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:27.900
because they were drunk -slash -stoned all the

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.900
time and sometimes weren't even showing up. So

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:33.879
the sound kind of changed. There were more keyboards,

00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:39.639
more complex song structure. But if you look

00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:41.780
at some of the songs, the title of the album

00:02:41.780 --> 00:02:44.120
and the theme of a number of the songs in the

00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.560
album have to do with mortality and grief and

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.879
loss. Is that the one that has Nobody's Fault

00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:54.419
But Mine on it? No. No, no, no, that isn't. Because

00:02:54.419 --> 00:02:56.280
that was one of the songs that people teed off

00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.500
on. It said that it is admittance, that they

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:02.080
sold their soul. You know what I mean? Yeah,

00:03:02.580 --> 00:03:04.319
you can read whatever you want into a lot of

00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:10.139
that stuff. But yeah, this one had In the Evening,

00:03:10.180 --> 00:03:17.400
Carousel Umbra, Fool in the Rain, what was the

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:19.879
sappy ballad, All of My Love? All of My Love,

00:03:19.979 --> 00:03:23.599
yeah, and that was supposedly to Robert Plant's

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:26.319
son that passed away from a rare disease. A stomach

00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:29.080
infection. In fact, that's what the whole album

00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.340
is basically about. Things of mortality, grief,

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:39.139
loss, etc. His son, Carrick, died of a stomach

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:42.159
infection while Led Zepp was on the road. And

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.840
Robert couldn't be there for his son's last days.

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:50.780
Jimmy Page and John Bonham skipped the funeral.

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.590
Yes. For his son. Yes. And Robert Plant... took

00:03:55.590 --> 00:03:59.449
that very seriously and when it came time for

00:03:59.449 --> 00:04:03.409
in through the outdoor he started being a lot

00:04:03.409 --> 00:04:05.969
more outspoken and a lot more forceful in the

00:04:05.969 --> 00:04:10.110
studio and not compromising and the engineer

00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:12.969
was the one who put it into words he said robert

00:04:12.969 --> 00:04:15.710
plant came in with the attitude of we're gonna

00:04:15.710 --> 00:04:18.949
do it my way or i'm gonna walk because i really

00:04:18.949 --> 00:04:22.579
don't care and i think the rest of the band Picked

00:04:22.579 --> 00:04:24.279
up on that, and he's like, if we're going to

00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:27.220
make another Led Zeppelin album ever, we've got

00:04:27.220 --> 00:04:29.560
to do it Robert Plant's way. Yeah, and I don't

00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:30.779
blame him at that point. I don't blame him at

00:04:30.779 --> 00:04:33.699
all either. The other two, except John Paul Jones,

00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.759
were fucked up constantly. Jimmy Page is like

00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.759
a lot of heroin, you know, stuff like that. And

00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:42.980
Bonham was constantly drinking. But, you know,

00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:47.879
skipping his son's funeral reminded me of Nikki

00:04:47.879 --> 00:04:55.399
Sixx. Mick Mars and Tommy Lee skipping Vince

00:04:55.399 --> 00:04:58.000
Neil's daughter's funeral. Daughter's funeral,

00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:00.199
yes. It's like, what the hell is it with these

00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:03.860
rock bands that they treat the death of a band

00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:08.040
member's family as no big deal? Oh, I know. It's

00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:12.439
just the detachment from reality must be very

00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:14.660
strong. Oh, yeah. I mean, and not only that,

00:05:14.759 --> 00:05:18.610
but when they were separated. They had John Carabi

00:05:18.610 --> 00:05:20.790
in the band when Vince Steel's daughter Skylar

00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:24.250
died from stomach cancer at, what, six, I think?

00:05:24.350 --> 00:05:27.750
Yeah, she was a little girl. Yeah. And they didn't

00:05:27.750 --> 00:05:29.689
even say anything to him. Didn't call him, nothing,

00:05:29.829 --> 00:05:32.209
didn't wish him well, sorry it happened, nothing.

00:05:32.470 --> 00:05:36.029
Yeah. And I remember they did a couple of documentaries

00:05:36.029 --> 00:05:39.529
where he mentioned that specifically. And how

00:05:39.529 --> 00:05:41.509
could he not? He's just doing this for money.

00:05:42.060 --> 00:05:45.399
How could you not? I would never speak to the

00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.920
people again. Yeah. I'd be like, money or not,

00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:53.160
fuck you guys. Yeah. No kidding. Eddie, I'm glad

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:56.620
you brought that. That is a really good little

00:05:56.620 --> 00:06:01.459
story there because a lot of people don't realize

00:06:01.459 --> 00:06:02.939
that. They thought that Led Zeppelin was all

00:06:02.939 --> 00:06:05.399
this magical stuff, but actually it was a constant

00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.199
fight and struggle. Yeah. So, anyhow, go ahead.

00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.300
Next up, we have Station to Station by David

00:06:11.300 --> 00:06:14.759
Bowie. This is the one that came out right after

00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:17.120
Young Americans, which had a lot of funk and

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:21.139
saxophone and soul and a cover of a John Lennon

00:06:21.139 --> 00:06:25.160
tune. But for Station to Station, David Bowie

00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:29.600
took on the persona of what he called the thin

00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:33.589
white duke. He had like a dozen different personalities

00:06:33.589 --> 00:06:36.370
and personas that he could manifest for stage

00:06:36.370 --> 00:06:40.350
or whatever. But Thin White Duke was a Coke fiend.

00:06:41.509 --> 00:06:48.509
And he cut off a lot of his friends. John Lennon,

00:06:48.509 --> 00:06:53.370
Harry Nilsson. I forget who else they mentioned.

00:06:53.410 --> 00:06:55.810
But he was just so heavily into Coke and that

00:06:55.810 --> 00:06:59.800
was all that mattered. He started having psychotic

00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.279
episodes. He started blaming everything on his

00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:06.639
persona. He said, oh, that wasn't me that snorted

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:08.199
all that coke. That was the thin white dude.

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:12.920
And I'm helpless. He claimed that Jimmy Page

00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:19.620
had conjured up Satan to be in David Bowie's

00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:24.019
swimming pool. So he moved into a hotel because

00:07:24.019 --> 00:07:27.560
Satan was in his swimming pool. Because of Jimmy

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:34.279
Page. So, I mean, a lot of the album was written

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:39.339
while David Bowie and Iggy Pop and their girlfriends

00:07:39.339 --> 00:07:41.899
were holed up in a hotel room doing massive amounts

00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:47.720
of coke. In fact, there's one song, TBC15, that

00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:49.740
he said was written when he thought the television

00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:56.790
was trying to eat Iggy Pop's girlfriend. He was

00:07:56.790 --> 00:08:01.730
so wasted. Just utterly blasted. But he cranked

00:08:01.730 --> 00:08:05.069
out an awesome album that is considered one of

00:08:05.069 --> 00:08:08.290
the essentials in David Bowie's discography.

00:08:08.589 --> 00:08:16.370
He had Golden Years, TVC15, the title track Station

00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:18.910
to Station, Word on a Wing. Some great, great

00:08:18.910 --> 00:08:23.170
tunes on it. Really good stuff. Next up, we have

00:08:23.170 --> 00:08:27.870
The Smile Sessions by the Beach Boys. Okay. Brian

00:08:27.870 --> 00:08:31.350
Wilson was just utterly obsessed over the details

00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:35.429
of the recording. This was after Pet Sounds came

00:08:35.429 --> 00:08:39.009
out. He went crazy on Pet Sounds trying to make

00:08:39.009 --> 00:08:41.309
everything perfect. So for the next one, Smile

00:08:41.309 --> 00:08:46.789
Sessions, it got even worse. And he drove the

00:08:46.789 --> 00:08:51.610
label crazy with all of his retakes and startovers.

00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:55.519
This isn't perfect, and I need nine more people

00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.720
to play on this track. And eventually the label

00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.620
said, you know what? We're done with this. Dump

00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.679
the whole album and move on to something else,

00:09:03.740 --> 00:09:10.220
which they did. Bootlegs of the Smile Sessions

00:09:10.220 --> 00:09:15.620
started coming out. The album and the songs within

00:09:15.620 --> 00:09:21.659
were fairly psychedelic and kind of weird. I'm

00:09:21.659 --> 00:09:23.799
ordering some food. I'm listening to you. And

00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.940
then eventually the Beach Boys reworked a few

00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:30.379
of the songs and put out tamer versions of them

00:09:30.379 --> 00:09:33.440
on an album called Smiley Smile, which I think

00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:40.000
came out in 67. Eventually in 2011, the record

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:43.620
label released the entire Smile Sessions album.

00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:46.279
So you can actually listen to it if you want,

00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:49.970
but it's weird. It's pretty weird. If it had

00:09:49.970 --> 00:09:52.090
come out at the time, I think that would have

00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.929
really damaged their career. Yeah, probably so.

00:09:55.470 --> 00:09:59.370
Now, Brian Wilson himself, he had bipolar disorder

00:09:59.370 --> 00:10:02.429
and he had schizophrenia, both of which were

00:10:02.429 --> 00:10:06.730
undiagnosed and untreated. So that's a big part

00:10:06.730 --> 00:10:12.570
of his obsession. OCD is not uncommon in situations

00:10:12.570 --> 00:10:14.769
like that. Especially creative people like that.

00:10:14.889 --> 00:10:17.289
I mean, they're ridiculed with stuff like that

00:10:17.289 --> 00:10:20.580
because that's what... That's what drives them,

00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:23.440
really. Yeah. And there was a similar band that

00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.539
did, I mean, not a similar band, a band in a

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:27.879
similar situation, My Bloody Valentine. You've

00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:31.019
heard of them? Oh, yeah. They had a song. I actually,

00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:33.659
I liked them. They were decent. Yeah. Go ahead.

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:39.179
The album Loveless. Pretty much the main guy,

00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.480
Kevin Shields, in the band. He's the singer,

00:10:41.620 --> 00:10:45.559
guitar player, main songwriter. He was like Brian

00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:48.080
Wilson, obsessing over every detail. They would

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:51.440
spend days working on precise microphone placement

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:53.799
in front of the amplifiers to get just exactly

00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:58.539
the sound you wanted. And it went on for like

00:10:58.539 --> 00:11:01.620
eight months. And everybody was getting really

00:11:01.620 --> 00:11:05.559
fed up and sick with this whole mess. But the

00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:10.019
album was pretty well received. It's like a shoegaze

00:11:10.019 --> 00:11:12.340
masterpiece, basically, is what they call it.

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.840
But the process to make it was Kevin Shields,

00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:20.639
basically. going deep, deep, deep inside himself,

00:11:20.899 --> 00:11:23.559
and nobody else could make any decisions but

00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:27.659
him. He just hijacked the whole process. Okay.

00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:32.379
Next up, we have John Lennon and his album Plastic

00:11:32.379 --> 00:11:37.980
Ono Band. Yeah. That one should work. Thank you.

00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:39.720
Sorry, I'm trying to order a little bit of food

00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.659
for us. Okay. Go ahead and start it up again.

00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.360
Okay. When John Lennon recorded the Plastic Ono

00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:51.019
Band album, primal scream therapy was becoming

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:56.659
very popular, and Lennon himself joined in. So

00:11:56.659 --> 00:12:00.379
most of the album, the theme is primal scream

00:12:00.379 --> 00:12:03.580
therapy, where you relive the trauma in every

00:12:03.580 --> 00:12:07.139
detail and fully feel it, and then you can process

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:10.399
it and get past it. The scream comes from, you

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.659
know, you feel the overwhelming emotions for

00:12:12.659 --> 00:12:15.019
whatever it is that is bothering you, and you

00:12:15.019 --> 00:12:21.840
let out just this caveman scream. Lennon did

00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:24.419
get the album done, but his therapy sessions

00:12:24.419 --> 00:12:29.100
were cut short. He had visa problems and was

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:32.279
sent back to England. The guy who was working

00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:34.320
with him said, you know, he needs at least a

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:38.149
year in the therapy, but he didn't get it. And

00:12:38.149 --> 00:12:41.509
his psychotherapist said, what we did is we dug

00:12:41.509 --> 00:12:44.070
up all this stuff and then covered all this pain

00:12:44.070 --> 00:12:49.450
and hurt and longing, you know, his douchebag

00:12:49.450 --> 00:12:52.590
of a father and his mother's death. Bad douchebag,

00:12:52.629 --> 00:12:56.970
not good douchebag like us. So they dug all this

00:12:56.970 --> 00:12:59.549
stuff up and got it all raw and fresh, and then

00:12:59.549 --> 00:13:03.169
his therapy had to end. So he wasn't able to

00:13:03.169 --> 00:13:05.909
process and deal with all that, and he was left

00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:09.139
with all that mess. And it came out in the album.

00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:11.899
So I'm going to check out the album and see what

00:13:11.899 --> 00:13:16.480
kind of mental health issues I can deduce from

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:21.559
what he's doing. But he was apparently just like

00:13:21.559 --> 00:13:24.899
really, really opened up and really raw and really

00:13:24.899 --> 00:13:27.299
vulnerable. And then it all ended. It's like,

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:31.000
okay, no more therapy. Go make an album. It was

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.480
pretty tough. Very cool. Okay. Here's one that's

00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.259
pretty familiar. Machined Head by Deep Purple.

00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:40.799
Now, we know the story from the song Smoke on

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:46.240
the Water, how the Mantra live venue burned down,

00:13:46.299 --> 00:13:50.700
and they had to go record their album somewhere

00:13:50.700 --> 00:13:55.500
else. The basic story is Deep Purple liked the

00:13:55.500 --> 00:13:57.700
way they sounded live better than their studio

00:13:57.700 --> 00:14:01.559
albums. And a number of bands had recently recorded

00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:06.730
at the Mantra, Mantro, Mantra, whatever. And

00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.470
they thought, we want to capture that kind of

00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:10.850
live energy, so let's record our album there.

00:14:12.230 --> 00:14:14.990
The night before, Frank Zappa was playing a show,

00:14:15.049 --> 00:14:17.429
and somebody shot a flare gun, and actually shot

00:14:17.429 --> 00:14:19.429
a flare gun up into the ceiling, which burned

00:14:19.429 --> 00:14:23.529
the whole place down. Uh -huh. So they had to

00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:27.830
switch plans. And then they went to a theater

00:14:27.830 --> 00:14:31.629
that was nearby. Uh -huh. And set up there, but

00:14:31.629 --> 00:14:33.350
then they got about a lot of noise complaints.

00:14:34.959 --> 00:14:37.919
So then they're relocated to, as it says in the

00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.139
song, the Grand Hotel. We ended up at the Grand

00:14:40.139 --> 00:14:42.720
Hotel. It was empty, cold, and bare. It was.

00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:45.259
It was abandoned. It was vacant. It was unheated.

00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:49.899
Oh, wow. Yeah. So they moved into there with

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:52.779
a mobile truck outside, as they say in the song,

00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:56.399
the Rolling Truck Stones thing just outside.

00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.659
Yeah. It was the Rolling Stones that had used

00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:00.639
this mobile truck to record one of their albums.

00:15:00.919 --> 00:15:04.169
Uh -huh. So they were freezing in this giant

00:15:04.169 --> 00:15:09.029
vacant hotel, and the trek that it took to get

00:15:09.029 --> 00:15:12.149
from the studio down a number of staircases,

00:15:12.149 --> 00:15:14.610
across some balconies, down some more, and walk

00:15:14.610 --> 00:15:17.269
all the way outside to get to the truck to listen

00:15:17.269 --> 00:15:20.110
to the take you had just done. It was such a

00:15:20.110 --> 00:15:21.830
pain in the ass that the band said, you know

00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:25.049
what, we don't even care. They just quit listening

00:15:25.049 --> 00:15:28.129
to their takes and trusted the engineers. And

00:15:28.129 --> 00:15:29.590
they said, you know what? That sounded pretty

00:15:29.590 --> 00:15:31.409
good while we were doing it, so let's just keep

00:15:31.409 --> 00:15:34.289
that one. Okay. So they didn't even hear their

00:15:34.289 --> 00:15:37.870
own takes until the album came out. Wow. Because

00:15:37.870 --> 00:15:39.710
they couldn't be bothered to walk down all those

00:15:39.710 --> 00:15:45.769
stairs. That's funny. That's pretty funny. But

00:15:45.769 --> 00:15:48.250
you know what? The album did pretty damn good.

00:15:48.250 --> 00:15:51.750
Yeah, that's like one of the seminal Deep Purple

00:15:51.750 --> 00:15:53.990
albums. Oh, yeah. That was like a cornerstone

00:15:53.990 --> 00:15:56.830
that everybody recognizes most of the songs off

00:15:56.830 --> 00:16:00.460
of that. Yeah. Okay, next up, Queens of the Stone

00:16:00.460 --> 00:16:03.820
Age. Okay. They have their album, Light Clockwork.

00:16:04.059 --> 00:16:07.200
Yeah, they're grunge, kind of. Yeah, pretty heavy.

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:12.860
Yeah. Their main guy, Josh Hume, I'm not sure

00:16:12.860 --> 00:16:15.179
how to spell his name. That sounds about right

00:16:15.179 --> 00:16:20.340
to me by how it's spelled. Around 2011, he supposedly

00:16:20.340 --> 00:16:23.360
had to have some minor knee surgery. Uh -huh.

00:16:23.690 --> 00:16:26.149
What it actually was is he had MRSA infecting

00:16:26.149 --> 00:16:28.090
his knee joint, and he had to go in and get that

00:16:28.090 --> 00:16:30.750
MRSA cut out. But he had a lot of complications

00:16:30.750 --> 00:16:34.149
during that. In fact, he died during the surgery,

00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:38.889
and they brought him back. They had to basically

00:16:38.889 --> 00:16:41.409
rebuild and reboot his immune system, which had

00:16:41.409 --> 00:16:45.669
been destroyed by years of drug use. So he said

00:16:45.669 --> 00:16:47.730
he remembers waking up from the surgery, and

00:16:47.730 --> 00:16:49.269
his doctor was looking at him and said, Shit,

00:16:49.490 --> 00:16:51.549
we lost you on the table. I'm glad we got you

00:16:51.549 --> 00:16:56.450
back. But for a couple of years, he had to isolate

00:16:56.450 --> 00:16:58.870
himself because his immune system was so weak,

00:16:58.929 --> 00:17:01.190
he could not even see his own kids and wife.

00:17:01.490 --> 00:17:04.670
I have never, wow, that is so weird. I've never

00:17:04.670 --> 00:17:06.910
even heard that story before, which baffles me.

00:17:06.910 --> 00:17:08.910
I haven't either, yeah. But his immune system

00:17:08.910 --> 00:17:11.150
was so weak, he was like somebody with advanced

00:17:11.150 --> 00:17:13.809
AIDS. His immune system was that weak, he could

00:17:13.809 --> 00:17:17.410
cause anything. If you catch any disease, it's

00:17:17.410 --> 00:17:19.529
going to kill you. So you had to stay separate.

00:17:20.190 --> 00:17:23.849
So, of course, during that time, he was isolated.

00:17:27.309 --> 00:17:29.490
Isolation fosters depression. He became very

00:17:29.490 --> 00:17:33.250
depressed. And this album also has themes of

00:17:33.250 --> 00:17:38.910
mortality, survival, pain, etc. In 2013, when

00:17:38.910 --> 00:17:41.170
he was all better, the band said, you've got

00:17:41.170 --> 00:17:44.170
to rejoin, let's put an album out. And Like Clockwork

00:17:44.170 --> 00:17:46.490
was the album that came from that. Which considered

00:17:46.490 --> 00:17:49.829
one of their best pieces of work. I would agree.

00:17:50.950 --> 00:17:55.470
Songs for the Deaf and Rated R were put up there

00:17:55.470 --> 00:17:57.430
with those two albums, but those were done ten

00:17:57.430 --> 00:18:00.230
years prior. Yes. So it's like they'd come back

00:18:00.230 --> 00:18:03.710
to that level of creativity. Too bad it took

00:18:03.710 --> 00:18:07.049
almost killing the guy. Yeah, and also it took

00:18:07.049 --> 00:18:09.829
too long between albums, too, so it never did

00:18:09.829 --> 00:18:12.390
catch. By the time they brought out another one,

00:18:12.470 --> 00:18:15.230
it really wasn't that hype like it would have

00:18:15.230 --> 00:18:17.109
been if it had just been like a year later. We'd

00:18:17.109 --> 00:18:19.269
go, hey, remember Queens of the Stone Age? Yeah,

00:18:19.269 --> 00:18:21.089
they're back with it. You know, 10 years later,

00:18:21.150 --> 00:18:23.769
people are like, let me think here. Who are they

00:18:23.769 --> 00:18:26.650
again? Yeah, exactly. It just doesn't work like

00:18:26.650 --> 00:18:31.069
that. Yeah. Okay, last one I got here is the

00:18:31.069 --> 00:18:35.390
album is Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart

00:18:35.390 --> 00:18:41.789
and his magic band. I have no idea. Google the

00:18:41.789 --> 00:18:44.609
album cover, Trout Mask Replica. It's ugly as

00:18:44.609 --> 00:18:47.680
hell, but it's fun. Okay, Captain Beefheart was

00:18:47.680 --> 00:18:50.640
Don Van Vliet, who was a high school friend of

00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.640
Frank Zappa. Okay. That's starting to connect

00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:54.880
the dots. It's starting to make a little more

00:18:54.880 --> 00:18:59.920
sense, yeah. And Van Vliet had really bizarre

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:02.720
ideas about music. I mean, his music was really

00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:05.519
kind of out there and bizarre, and he loved odd

00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.839
time signatures and, as they said, aggressive

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:14.869
and uncomfortable noises. Oh, so you're telling

00:19:14.869 --> 00:19:18.069
me he's a friend of Frank Zappa. Yes. Oh. And

00:19:18.069 --> 00:19:20.990
Frank Zappa produced this album for his, at the

00:19:20.990 --> 00:19:23.730
time, Zappa had his own record label called Straight

00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:26.269
Records. Okay. It's the one he signed Alice Cooper

00:19:26.269 --> 00:19:29.289
to for his first three albums. Yeah. I always

00:19:29.289 --> 00:19:31.230
find that remarkable, too, Straight Records.

00:19:31.349 --> 00:19:33.589
Yeah. It's like a little Iggy. If you know it,

00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:39.839
you know it. If you don't, you don't. Don Van

00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.980
Vliet pretty much ran the recording sessions

00:19:41.980 --> 00:19:46.039
like an abusive cult. It took eight months to

00:19:46.039 --> 00:19:49.200
record this album, during which time nobody had

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.740
any income. Oh, hey, thank you. You guys are

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:55.940
awesome. Thank you so much. Coffee is the best.

00:19:55.980 --> 00:19:59.960
Thank you so much. Thank you. Let's see, they

00:19:59.960 --> 00:20:01.940
were all, you know, there's no income, so everybody

00:20:01.940 --> 00:20:04.779
was on welfare. And pretty much everybody's daily

00:20:04.779 --> 00:20:08.059
food ration. was a cup of soybeans and whatever

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:16.220
they could shoplift. Members of the band said

00:20:16.220 --> 00:20:19.480
that they were forced to record and rehearse

00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.140
14 hours a day. No one was allowed to leave the

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:28.539
house or grounds. Several members of the band

00:20:28.539 --> 00:20:30.980
said they were driven to tears by the emotional

00:20:30.980 --> 00:20:33.660
and physical abuse. They're actually getting

00:20:33.660 --> 00:20:41.009
hit. If you need any ketchup, I got it. And then

00:20:41.009 --> 00:20:43.809
at the end of this big mess, they have the album

00:20:43.809 --> 00:20:46.930
Trout Mask Replica, which was probably the best

00:20:46.930 --> 00:20:50.730
work Captain Beefheart ever did. But it isn't

00:20:50.730 --> 00:20:55.390
all that good anyway. I kind of gathered that

00:20:55.390 --> 00:20:57.369
because he's Frank Zappa's friend and nobody

00:20:57.369 --> 00:20:59.730
heard of him and he did music. I'm kind of thinking,

00:20:59.789 --> 00:21:05.559
yeah. But it's bizarre that... His bandmates

00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:10.799
stuck with him through all that abuse. Knowing

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:13.019
the album was not going to be a commercial success.

00:21:13.880 --> 00:21:17.579
It just couldn't be. The way it was written and

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:21.180
performed. I guess he had everybody under his

00:21:21.180 --> 00:21:27.539
thumb. I guess. Yeah. So that's it for albums

00:21:27.539 --> 00:21:33.359
with a weird backstory. Okay. You're going one

00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:40.079
second, please. All right. Gene Simmons has commented

00:21:40.079 --> 00:21:44.519
extensively on Ace Frehley's death in October.

00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:49.519
Okay. There's some things I want to bring out

00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.339
about this. For everyone that's like musically

00:21:52.339 --> 00:21:54.700
inclined on rock and stuff like that knows about

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:58.740
it. It's pretty well publicized. Yeah. Okay.

00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:05.389
He said that substance abuse contributed. to

00:22:05.389 --> 00:22:07.869
patient -released death. That makes sense to

00:22:07.869 --> 00:22:12.170
me. My own grandfather, in his years of alcoholism,

00:22:12.190 --> 00:22:14.170
weakened the blood vessels in his brain, and

00:22:14.170 --> 00:22:16.990
a fall and bump on the head that would have been

00:22:16.990 --> 00:22:19.869
just inconvenient and painful for us caused a

00:22:19.869 --> 00:22:23.609
catastrophic brain bleed, and he died. So, yeah,

00:22:23.769 --> 00:22:28.789
substance abuse screws you up. Yeah. Well, here's

00:22:28.789 --> 00:22:30.950
what I want to point out right here. Okay. It's

00:22:30.950 --> 00:22:36.190
this. Okay, where Gene Simmons went wrong is

00:22:36.190 --> 00:22:41.670
this right here. He alleged that the reason he

00:22:41.670 --> 00:22:46.910
fell was substance abuse. You see, it could be

00:22:46.910 --> 00:22:49.029
argued like his balance isn't the same like it

00:22:49.029 --> 00:22:50.710
used to be because of years and all that. It

00:22:50.710 --> 00:22:52.430
could be argued, but it couldn't be proven, right?

00:22:52.569 --> 00:22:55.470
But I guess people took it as he was stoned and

00:22:55.470 --> 00:22:58.710
that's why he fell. Which I guess wasn't the

00:22:58.710 --> 00:23:02.809
case. He's been sober for over 30 years. Yeah.

00:23:06.749 --> 00:23:10.190
So, Eddie Trunk went after him. That was Ace

00:23:10.190 --> 00:23:13.390
Frehley's best friend by all accounts. He signed

00:23:13.390 --> 00:23:17.170
him to his first solo record deal. Nice. Megaforce.

00:23:17.950 --> 00:23:20.529
They've been friends. They were friends ever

00:23:20.529 --> 00:23:22.589
since. Close friends. Not just kind of friends,

00:23:22.630 --> 00:23:25.089
but close friends. Maybe even best friends. I

00:23:25.089 --> 00:23:26.329
think they even said they were best friends.

00:23:26.569 --> 00:23:29.609
So, Eddie Trunk automatically jumped out and

00:23:29.609 --> 00:23:32.250
got after him. Which I agree with because of

00:23:32.250 --> 00:23:34.910
the context. Okay. There's some respect that

00:23:34.910 --> 00:23:41.549
you expect. Yeah. So, Gene manned up. Probably

00:23:41.549 --> 00:23:46.789
apologized. He said they didn't intend to hurt

00:23:46.789 --> 00:23:50.650
Ace's legacy, but recognized how his statements

00:23:50.650 --> 00:23:53.750
caused pain, acknowledging his anger at addiction

00:23:53.750 --> 00:23:57.230
issues in the past, but clarifying he expressed

00:23:57.230 --> 00:24:03.019
himself early. Yeah. So, what is your take on

00:24:03.019 --> 00:24:10.299
it? I kind of see that Gene was not trying to

00:24:10.299 --> 00:24:13.220
be a jerk. I'm glad you said that, because me

00:24:13.220 --> 00:24:16.180
too. It just seems a little odd that normally

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:19.559
Gene Simmons is very careful about how he phrases

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:23.660
things and the words he says. And to be that

00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:27.920
imprecise with his first statement to where people

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:31.150
could get... the impression that he was being

00:24:31.150 --> 00:24:34.930
disrespectful about his sobriety. Okay. I can

00:24:34.930 --> 00:24:37.190
understand people being upset, but I really don't

00:24:37.190 --> 00:24:42.430
think Gene, even if he felt anger towards Ace,

00:24:42.450 --> 00:24:44.309
really would never say anything like that in

00:24:44.309 --> 00:24:47.210
that circumstance. He wouldn't pull a Roger Waters,

00:24:47.329 --> 00:24:49.509
let me put it that way. No, no, no, no. And I

00:24:49.509 --> 00:24:51.829
think he meant it exactly how you put it. Yeah.

00:24:51.910 --> 00:24:55.109
Was probably not the same person after years

00:24:55.109 --> 00:24:58.349
of abuse. Yeah, yeah. It's more the attitude

00:24:58.349 --> 00:25:01.210
of... If you hadn't been an addict, imagine how

00:25:01.210 --> 00:25:02.670
better your life would have been. You'd still

00:25:02.670 --> 00:25:04.789
be here with us. And also, I have close family

00:25:04.789 --> 00:25:07.750
members with addiction issues. Yeah. I understand

00:25:07.750 --> 00:25:10.390
the anger completely. Yeah. It's like everything

00:25:10.390 --> 00:25:12.250
would be okay if you could just fucking quit.

00:25:12.430 --> 00:25:14.329
Yeah. And I understand. You know, they're in

00:25:14.329 --> 00:25:17.069
a band, and Ace is never showing up, admittedly.

00:25:17.109 --> 00:25:20.910
Yeah. Okay. Now, I love Ace to death, and I would

00:25:20.910 --> 00:25:24.089
never say that about, you know, about it was

00:25:24.089 --> 00:25:26.069
his fault or, you know, substance abuse or all

00:25:26.069 --> 00:25:27.809
that. I would never say that. But the thing is.

00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:33.940
If you're going to comment on something like

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:36.240
that, you've got to be precise and let them know

00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.500
exactly what you say. But he left too much wiggle

00:25:39.500 --> 00:25:41.240
room, and this goes back to what you said. He's

00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:49.859
usually more reserved. Yep. But as he gets older

00:25:49.859 --> 00:25:53.619
and is out of the spotlight more, the more he

00:25:53.619 --> 00:25:56.619
is not watching his statements because I've got

00:25:56.619 --> 00:25:59.480
another one. And I agree with this one wholeheartedly,

00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:03.039
though. When Gene Simmons was asked who he voted

00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:07.380
for, Gene Simmons responded, it's none of your

00:26:07.380 --> 00:26:11.619
damn business. This is a music reporter emphasizing

00:26:11.619 --> 00:26:15.119
his privacy while also criticizing media for

00:26:15.119 --> 00:26:17.880
inflaming divisions and encouraging people to

00:26:17.880 --> 00:26:20.359
vote their conscious rather than focusing on

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:24.779
celebrity opinions. stressing that every vote

00:26:24.779 --> 00:26:27.259
matters and people should focus on shared freedoms.

00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:33.059
Yep. Okay. He said, it's none of your fucking

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:37.339
business. Yeah. Okay. This also indicates to

00:26:37.339 --> 00:26:39.640
me, like, he doesn't care anymore. He's been

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:42.599
there, done that. Yeah. He's not in the, I think

00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:43.920
there's something to be said for him not being

00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:46.859
in the public eye so much, to where he feels

00:26:46.859 --> 00:26:50.480
he has to stand down a little bit more, whether

00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.819
it's realized or not. I think there's some of

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:55.720
that, I'm going to go over the top. I'm going

00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:57.920
to go over the top so people talk about it and

00:26:57.920 --> 00:27:00.900
relay on it and all that. But that being said,

00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:03.619
I agree with him 100%. Exactly what he said I

00:27:03.619 --> 00:27:05.880
think is 100 % true. Number one, it's nobody's

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.619
fucking business, like you said. And number two,

00:27:08.759 --> 00:27:11.319
they want that so they can divide you. They go,

00:27:11.420 --> 00:27:14.539
oh, if he's a Trump fan, then oh my gosh, that

00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:18.140
guy's a devil. But then if he's a Biden fan or

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:20.279
just a Democrat or whatever, then you have the

00:27:20.279 --> 00:27:24.339
other side going, you're a communist. Yeah, asking

00:27:24.339 --> 00:27:27.079
that question of Gene Simmons is basically the

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:29.640
same as asking him for his credit card number

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:31.599
and his passwords. Yes. Because they're going

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.299
to use it against you. There's no good that can

00:27:34.299 --> 00:27:37.059
come from it, and he knows it, and he's calling

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:40.380
him out basically saying, quit asking me these

00:27:40.380 --> 00:27:43.869
rude, insensitive, asshole questions. Bet you

00:27:43.869 --> 00:27:45.970
know I'm not going to answer anyway. I agree

00:27:45.970 --> 00:27:50.369
with him 100%. I remember, I was going to ask

00:27:50.369 --> 00:27:52.930
you, how much of this new attitude of Gene's

00:27:52.930 --> 00:27:55.309
could have to do with the fact that he doesn't

00:27:55.309 --> 00:27:58.970
own Kiss anymore? A lot of it. He and Paul sold

00:27:58.970 --> 00:28:02.589
it for $300 million. Now it's somebody else's

00:28:02.589 --> 00:28:04.910
headache. So he can be a little more of himself

00:28:04.910 --> 00:28:07.849
and be free because it's not all on him anymore.

00:28:07.970 --> 00:28:10.269
Somebody else owns that franchise. And he's going

00:28:10.269 --> 00:28:14.480
on tour. Yeah. So. I remember getting asked that

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:19.019
question at the post office. Who'd you vote for?

00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.799
And my response was, it's a secret ballot for

00:28:21.799 --> 00:28:27.140
a reason. And his comeback was, oh, so you're

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:30.160
ashamed of the way you voted? And I said, are

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:32.240
you ashamed for asking this personal question?

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:36.480
Oh, I love that. I had the same thing in the

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.930
union I was in. pretty much told me who to vote

00:28:41.930 --> 00:28:43.849
for, and I pretty much told them to go fuck themselves.

00:28:44.529 --> 00:28:46.609
Yeah, we had our union president come in and

00:28:46.609 --> 00:28:48.450
said, here are the candidates that we've bought.

00:28:48.849 --> 00:28:50.789
That's what I had too. They say we've contributed

00:28:50.789 --> 00:28:52.829
to their campaigns, basically saying we bought

00:28:52.829 --> 00:28:56.029
them. Yeah, yeah, and they let go. Did you want

00:28:56.029 --> 00:28:58.190
your money going to waste? No, my money was going

00:28:58.190 --> 00:29:00.490
to waste anyhow. I'm going to vote how I feel.

00:29:00.630 --> 00:29:02.670
Yeah, I didn't want my money going to any politicians.

00:29:04.170 --> 00:29:12.140
They're the ones that took that without. And

00:29:12.140 --> 00:29:14.099
this just goes back to Gene Simmons. He's been

00:29:14.099 --> 00:29:16.579
like this for years now. He'll do one statement,

00:29:16.700 --> 00:29:19.099
I just love him for it. Then he'll do another

00:29:19.099 --> 00:29:22.720
statement, I can't stand him for it. It just

00:29:22.720 --> 00:29:27.660
depends. But I like the stress. He is going out

00:29:27.660 --> 00:29:31.220
on tour and sets a solo. He doesn't have the

00:29:31.220 --> 00:29:33.539
budget for any type of advertising. How do you

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:36.819
get advertising? Let someone ask you a stupid

00:29:36.819 --> 00:29:39.690
fucking question and you go off on it. They'd

00:29:39.690 --> 00:29:42.309
also make a prolific statement about an ex -bandmate

00:29:42.309 --> 00:29:45.109
that is obviously wrong in the context it was

00:29:45.109 --> 00:29:49.250
set. Yeah. Another good way to get free publicity

00:29:49.250 --> 00:29:51.809
for an Olympic coming tour album is go have a

00:29:51.809 --> 00:29:54.829
minor traffic accident. Yeah. Oh, that's true.

00:29:55.069 --> 00:29:58.019
A lot of people do that. How many times have

00:29:58.019 --> 00:29:59.819
you seen, oh, so -and -so's accident. They weren't

00:29:59.819 --> 00:30:01.720
injured, and there's minimal damage, because

00:30:01.720 --> 00:30:03.880
it was a setup, because you wanted to get their

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:06.119
names in. The accident probably never even happened.

00:30:06.140 --> 00:30:08.400
It's just a story. The effort did is a parking

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:11.279
lot, and it was someone they already had planted

00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:12.579
there. It's like, we're going to pay you for

00:30:12.579 --> 00:30:18.720
everything. Very true. Their fries are really

00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:23.819
good, aren't they? They are. Well, so far, I've

00:30:23.819 --> 00:30:27.130
found nothing. at murmuration that is bad yeah

00:30:27.130 --> 00:30:29.910
it's all good all is nice hot and fresh coming

00:30:29.910 --> 00:30:32.349
right out of the kitchen to us it's awesome who

00:30:32.349 --> 00:30:37.470
is murmuration i'd ask city market coffee yep

00:30:37.470 --> 00:30:41.049
they uh built on they got the place next door

00:30:41.049 --> 00:30:43.670
they have an eatery plus cocktails great place

00:30:43.670 --> 00:30:46.490
encouraging all to check it out very good place

00:30:46.490 --> 00:30:50.430
this sign says city market coffee house on the

00:30:50.430 --> 00:30:52.450
door it says city market coffee and roasters

00:30:52.990 --> 00:30:55.569
Which they are both. Yeah, they're both. And

00:30:55.569 --> 00:30:59.809
the next door is... Murmuration Eatery and Cocktail

00:30:59.809 --> 00:31:04.769
Bar. Yep. All under one umbrella. I think it

00:31:04.769 --> 00:31:07.890
might be roasters. And the reason is because

00:31:07.890 --> 00:31:12.430
I think I've seen that in paper a lot more. Yeah,

00:31:12.470 --> 00:31:15.589
that might be the official business name. Yeah,

00:31:15.609 --> 00:31:17.650
and they do roast them. And also, anyone that

00:31:17.650 --> 00:31:20.880
roasts their beans... You want people to know

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:23.819
that. It's like, hey, we do our own stuff here,

00:31:23.880 --> 00:31:26.119
and we do it our way, and it's very good. Now,

00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:30.160
don't judge them by the city market coffee that's

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.480
at the airport. Oh, no. Because those people

00:31:32.480 --> 00:31:34.819
just bought the rice for the name and are serving

00:31:34.819 --> 00:31:37.859
whatever they feel like, whatever's cheap. So

00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:40.900
don't think that this place is anything like

00:31:40.900 --> 00:31:42.779
the one at the airport. Oh, no, no, no. This

00:31:42.779 --> 00:31:45.680
one Nicole has control over, and it is good.

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:48.680
Nicole is the owner. Very nice lady. Really nice

00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:51.259
lady. you ever seen those little starbucks that

00:31:51.259 --> 00:31:53.839
are in grocery stores yeah they're not they're

00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.059
not a real starbucks they're just they're licensed

00:31:56.059 --> 00:31:58.099
to use the name and sell the products that's

00:31:58.099 --> 00:32:00.559
why the coffee there is always crap and also

00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:03.859
they don't make everything you ask for a quad

00:32:03.859 --> 00:32:06.900
or something and they're like i don't know if

00:32:06.900 --> 00:32:09.019
we have that and it's like you know what forget

00:32:09.019 --> 00:32:11.339
it you're not going to make it right if you don't

00:32:11.339 --> 00:32:17.660
know yeah so that's all i got for that one all

00:32:17.660 --> 00:32:21.109
right For those of you who are Nine Inch Nails

00:32:21.109 --> 00:32:24.690
fans, they're working on a new album. Oh, I knew

00:32:24.690 --> 00:32:26.390
they were going on tour, but I did not know they

00:32:26.390 --> 00:32:28.029
were doing a new album. Yeah, it's bizarre. They're

00:32:28.029 --> 00:32:30.150
going on tour, then they're going to make a new

00:32:30.150 --> 00:32:32.710
album. Usually it's the other way around. Yeah.

00:32:33.869 --> 00:32:36.069
But they've got so much material they can tour

00:32:36.069 --> 00:32:38.609
on anyway. Yeah, and I think that it really doesn't

00:32:38.609 --> 00:32:40.450
matter to them anyhow because they have their

00:32:40.450 --> 00:32:42.809
audience still. Yeah. Now, you know, they all

00:32:42.809 --> 00:32:47.869
have walkers and oxygen machines. Yeah. He has

00:32:47.869 --> 00:32:50.549
his own audience. The live show is amazing. Oh,

00:32:50.549 --> 00:32:52.630
yeah. I've seen him only once, but, ooh, wow,

00:32:52.710 --> 00:32:54.809
that was something else. Yep. I mean, I don't

00:32:54.809 --> 00:32:57.829
know how well it plays out now because he's not

00:32:57.829 --> 00:33:00.950
angry. Yeah, yeah. When he was angry and suicidal,

00:33:01.049 --> 00:33:04.710
he wrote some pretty amazing, gut -wrenching

00:33:04.710 --> 00:33:08.950
stuff. Tori Ables? Oh, my God. But then he got

00:33:08.950 --> 00:33:11.630
all happy. Yeah. It's kind of like when Scott

00:33:11.630 --> 00:33:13.869
Whalen kicked heroin, he wrote a shitty album.

00:33:14.130 --> 00:33:18.740
Oh, I know. Wayland, Wyland, ever pronounced.

00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:21.539
Yeah, whatever it is. But it's funny because

00:33:21.539 --> 00:33:23.859
the hardcores are even like, you need to get

00:33:23.859 --> 00:33:28.299
back on heroin. Yeah. Crusty ones. Yeah, there

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:30.140
we go. We're finishing off the bottom of the

00:33:30.140 --> 00:33:33.500
prize. Nom, nom, nom. All right. But yeah, this

00:33:33.500 --> 00:33:36.099
will be their first new album since 2020. Cool.

00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:39.539
Very good. Or as Barbara Walters would say, twin

00:33:39.539 --> 00:33:46.559
tweet, twin tweet. Yeah. Who in the world ever

00:33:46.559 --> 00:33:48.759
thought Barbara Walters, with her speech impediment,

00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.960
was a good choice to be talking on TV? Giving

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:53.859
serious interviews where they asked you if you

00:33:53.859 --> 00:33:55.339
were a tree, what kind of tree would you be?

00:33:55.779 --> 00:34:00.220
Yes. What a moron she was. She really, to me,

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:03.740
wasn't that talented. No. I think what it was,

00:34:03.740 --> 00:34:06.619
was they took advantage of the times where women

00:34:06.619 --> 00:34:10.179
lived was huge. And I'm not saying anything bad

00:34:10.179 --> 00:34:12.880
about women's lib. It needed to happen, and they

00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:14.679
made a lot of strides. But at the time, it was

00:34:14.679 --> 00:34:18.420
really a focus. And like anything, it gets exploited.

00:34:18.840 --> 00:34:21.340
Yes. You know, here's its original purpose, and

00:34:21.340 --> 00:34:23.420
then here's all the commercial exploitation of

00:34:23.420 --> 00:34:25.739
it over here. And it's not a reflection on the

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:28.079
women's lib movement or women's rights. Everything

00:34:28.079 --> 00:34:31.159
gets exploited and co -opted. Yeah, I mean, are

00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:34.539
we mad at her for doing it? Hell no. She got

00:34:34.539 --> 00:34:38.849
better. Yeah. But I do believe that a lot of

00:34:38.849 --> 00:34:41.710
her picking, a lot of why she was there was because

00:34:41.710 --> 00:34:44.989
she was a woman that was already there that they

00:34:44.989 --> 00:34:49.429
could prop up. And the reason I say that is because

00:34:49.429 --> 00:34:53.369
she isn't the most fluent talker, wasn't the

00:34:53.369 --> 00:34:56.510
most fluent talker. And there's a lot of other

00:34:56.510 --> 00:35:00.369
things, too, that came out later. But, you know

00:35:00.369 --> 00:35:02.449
what, I don't even need to go into that because...

00:35:03.230 --> 00:35:05.170
She always gave me the impression of an East

00:35:05.170 --> 00:35:07.630
Coast snob who thought she was better than everybody.

00:35:08.130 --> 00:35:11.429
Yep. And supposedly she slept with a lot of generals

00:35:11.429 --> 00:35:15.650
and stuff like that. And I think Geraldo Rivera

00:35:15.650 --> 00:35:17.630
had a story. He thought he was going to nail

00:35:17.630 --> 00:35:19.329
her, and he was all happy about it. And then

00:35:19.329 --> 00:35:22.389
she comes into the room, and she goes, Sorry,

00:35:22.730 --> 00:35:24.969
Geraldo, not going to happen. I've got a general.

00:35:26.809 --> 00:35:28.789
I don't know if that story is true or not. I

00:35:28.789 --> 00:35:30.269
think I read that online or something. You wouldn't

00:35:30.269 --> 00:35:33.360
be surprised. I wouldn't either. I wouldn't either.

00:35:33.940 --> 00:35:36.460
And you know, when a woman sleeps her way to

00:35:36.460 --> 00:35:38.800
the top, that's not a reflection on her. That's

00:35:38.800 --> 00:35:40.480
a reflection on the men who are sleeping with

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.300
her and promoting her for sex. Hell yeah. No,

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.380
you're right. Not a reflection on her by any

00:35:44.380 --> 00:35:46.219
means. She's taking advantage of the situation

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:48.619
the way a smart person would. Exactly. The men

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:52.440
are to pray. Yes, I agree. And I support her

00:35:52.440 --> 00:35:54.679
100 % for doing what she can with what she had.

00:35:55.019 --> 00:35:58.039
Obviously a very intelligent woman by what she

00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:04.159
did. Something I, when we're talking about being

00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.679
in touch with current times, and I got an example

00:36:08.679 --> 00:36:10.260
of that the other day. Have you been hearing

00:36:10.260 --> 00:36:13.920
the expression drip? Yeah, that's clothing. Yeah,

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:16.880
for style or swagger or image or something. Hold

00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:19.480
that above your clothing, depicting your style,

00:36:19.579 --> 00:36:22.760
your swagger and all that, yeah. I'm going to

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.860
go out on a limb and say that that term is on

00:36:24.860 --> 00:36:28.400
its way out because I'm starting to hear it extensively

00:36:28.400 --> 00:36:32.130
overused. You know what? You're right. That's

00:36:32.130 --> 00:36:35.030
a good sign that it's been co -opted by brands

00:36:35.030 --> 00:36:40.090
and is now being used just like anything. Yeah,

00:36:40.150 --> 00:36:43.070
and you know this because the casual stand buyer

00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:45.789
is using it. Yeah. And whatever that is, it's

00:36:45.789 --> 00:36:49.829
run its course. I'm hearing it a lot on, not

00:36:49.829 --> 00:36:51.610
necessarily, I've heard it before on NFL game

00:36:51.610 --> 00:36:55.690
broadcasts. So have I. Shows about the NFL, I'm

00:36:55.690 --> 00:36:58.699
hearing it a lot. Uh -huh. And then the other

00:36:58.699 --> 00:37:02.199
day I was watching a video. NFL actually promotes

00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:04.500
it. They call it drip on a lot of their swag.

00:37:06.059 --> 00:37:09.159
I was watching a video where the guy was basically

00:37:09.159 --> 00:37:13.219
rating the appearance of certain things within

00:37:13.219 --> 00:37:16.340
this video game. Completely useless, meaningless

00:37:16.340 --> 00:37:18.280
information. It's just a video game, and this

00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:20.840
is just how things look to him. But he must have

00:37:20.840 --> 00:37:23.760
used the word drip about a half dozen times in

00:37:23.760 --> 00:37:27.840
a 20 -minute video. It was just relentless. Yeah,

00:37:28.019 --> 00:37:30.159
that destroys it right there. I don't want to

00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:32.679
hear it anymore after that. And he used it in

00:37:32.679 --> 00:37:34.940
a different way each time. The one time he talked

00:37:34.940 --> 00:37:39.340
about this thing having eternal drip, and that

00:37:39.340 --> 00:37:44.340
was awesome drip, and the drip of this. He's

00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:46.960
just trying to work it in so many ways. He's

00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:48.880
like a guy that learned a new phrase and is all

00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:51.519
happy. So I'm pretty sure it's on its way out

00:37:51.519 --> 00:37:53.920
because it's being heavily overused. I think

00:37:53.920 --> 00:37:56.789
I would agree. It's like when the NFL comes up

00:37:56.789 --> 00:37:58.449
with, like, push -push, and they all want to

00:37:58.449 --> 00:38:01.769
use it every 30 seconds, and they can't not say

00:38:01.769 --> 00:38:03.849
it. Yeah, are you talking about where they're

00:38:03.849 --> 00:38:06.650
all offsides? Yeah. Yeah, okay, that one. Yeah,

00:38:06.769 --> 00:38:09.329
but the NFL ignores it because it's sexy right

00:38:09.329 --> 00:38:16.409
now? Yeah. Have you got something? Yeah. Okay.

00:38:17.480 --> 00:38:20.239
Something I've been... You and I both have studios,

00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:23.199
and we have sound equipment, etc. What's the

00:38:23.199 --> 00:38:26.139
name of your studio now? Awkward Possum. Awkward

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:29.219
Possum, and mine is The Talk is Cheap. Mine was

00:38:29.219 --> 00:38:30.920
The No Filter, but somebody already got that.

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:33.639
Bastard. I said we go kill him, that way you

00:38:33.639 --> 00:38:38.059
can have it. But something I heard a lot when

00:38:38.059 --> 00:38:40.119
I was buying stuff... Allegedly, just joking.

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.260
Yes, yes. Sorry. Was that there's a thing called

00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:47.309
speaker burn -in. I've heard this for guitar

00:38:47.309 --> 00:38:49.949
amps and for home speakers and studio monitors

00:38:49.949 --> 00:38:54.369
and all that stuff. And the audiophile -approved

00:38:54.369 --> 00:38:58.710
method is you buy the new speaker and then you

00:38:58.710 --> 00:39:04.489
run Pink Noise through it. Pink Noise is every

00:39:04.489 --> 00:39:09.130
octave of audible sound amplified equally. Instead

00:39:09.130 --> 00:39:11.190
of every frequency. There's brown noise. There's

00:39:11.190 --> 00:39:14.429
white noise. Pink noise is exactly what he just

00:39:14.429 --> 00:39:16.909
said. White noise is where you amplify every

00:39:16.909 --> 00:39:19.289
frequency equally. And you mostly get the high

00:39:19.289 --> 00:39:22.050
end because they're louder. Pink noise is you

00:39:22.050 --> 00:39:25.190
take every octave of sound frequencies and amplify

00:39:25.190 --> 00:39:27.570
them as an octave. So it gets a little more muted

00:39:27.570 --> 00:39:29.510
and thorough. So anyway, the idea is you run

00:39:29.510 --> 00:39:32.650
100 hours of pink noise through these speakers

00:39:32.650 --> 00:39:36.730
to get them flexed in and limbered up. And everybody

00:39:36.730 --> 00:39:39.130
swears up and down that they sound so much better

00:39:39.130 --> 00:39:42.150
afterwards. Well, now it's been objectively measured.

00:39:43.530 --> 00:39:48.010
And the difference in frequency response and

00:39:48.010 --> 00:39:52.530
all other things that they could measure that

00:39:52.530 --> 00:39:57.170
would be desirable, it was a .09 % difference.

00:39:58.570 --> 00:40:03.210
Nine one -hundredths of one percent. That was

00:40:03.210 --> 00:40:05.619
how much difference it made. to do that 100 -hour

00:40:05.619 --> 00:40:09.159
burn -in. And most people can't even hear that.

00:40:10.579 --> 00:40:14.539
That's over. Isn't that crazy? Yeah. Now, by

00:40:14.539 --> 00:40:20.199
comparison, they took the exact same studio equipment,

00:40:20.420 --> 00:40:23.280
speakers, cables, monitors, et cetera, and bought

00:40:23.280 --> 00:40:27.139
the exact same thing, like three, four, five

00:40:27.139 --> 00:40:31.559
sets. Exact model. sequential serial numbers,

00:40:31.699 --> 00:40:34.059
so they came off the assembly line on the same

00:40:34.059 --> 00:40:36.940
day, and then they measured the differences there.

00:40:37.139 --> 00:40:41.340
I just found a couple more. Those differences,

00:40:41.400 --> 00:40:45.119
the fluctuations from one example of this amplifier

00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:47.539
to the next, or one example of the speaker, that

00:40:47.539 --> 00:40:54.519
was a 1 .08 % difference. 12 times greater. Wow!

00:40:54.719 --> 00:41:01.219
So the 100 -hour speaker burn -in does maybe

00:41:01.219 --> 00:41:04.059
something, but you'll never hear it. You can

00:41:04.059 --> 00:41:06.059
pretend you hear it, you can think you, you can

00:41:06.059 --> 00:41:09.159
convince yourself you heard it. Buying a different

00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:11.539
example of the exact same piece of equipment

00:41:11.539 --> 00:41:14.900
will give you 12 times more difference in the

00:41:14.900 --> 00:41:20.559
sound quality. Wow. Yeah. So all this audio burn

00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:23.219
-in and the snobbery around it, it's BS. It's

00:41:23.219 --> 00:41:27.510
BS, yeah? Total BS. It goes for guitar amps.

00:41:27.610 --> 00:41:29.989
I hear so many people say, well, yeah, buy a

00:41:29.989 --> 00:41:32.289
new amplifier. The speaker isn't broken in yet,

00:41:32.329 --> 00:41:34.230
so it still sounds really stiff. It's like, you

00:41:34.230 --> 00:41:36.489
moron. You're just spouting what other people

00:41:36.489 --> 00:41:38.610
have said. You're a parrot. You're absolutely

00:41:38.610 --> 00:41:41.489
a parrot. You have no idea, do you? Those are

00:41:41.489 --> 00:41:43.590
the people I like to tear down if I get a chance.

00:41:43.750 --> 00:41:49.940
Just like throw all the facts and walk off. That's

00:41:49.940 --> 00:41:53.340
the thing, objective versus subjective. Objective

00:41:53.340 --> 00:41:55.340
is something you can measure. Subjective is how

00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:58.690
you feel about it. Yes. And people do the burn

00:41:58.690 --> 00:42:00.530
-in. They don't want to admit that they can't

00:42:00.530 --> 00:42:02.170
hear a difference, so they convince themselves

00:42:02.170 --> 00:42:04.329
they did, and then it's so much better, and then

00:42:04.329 --> 00:42:06.510
they feel proud of themselves for doing it. Yes,

00:42:06.530 --> 00:42:11.409
I agree. And also, it sounds good. Yeah. It's

00:42:11.409 --> 00:42:13.889
just like, oh, man, the mics are hot. You could

00:42:13.889 --> 00:42:16.489
just say, like, hey, this doesn't sound quite

00:42:16.489 --> 00:42:18.550
right, but someone's trying to impress them,

00:42:18.610 --> 00:42:22.920
they go, oh, the mics are hot today. I just touched

00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:25.800
it, and it didn't burn. Yeah. The audio manufacturers

00:42:25.800 --> 00:42:28.679
are capitalizing on this, and now they're starting

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:32.019
to offer equipment that's already been pre -burned

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:34.280
in for you. So the work's been done, and, of

00:42:34.280 --> 00:42:37.059
course, they charge you more for that. So, number

00:42:37.059 --> 00:42:38.760
one, they're probably not doing anything. They're

00:42:38.760 --> 00:42:40.719
just claiming they did. And number two, even

00:42:40.719 --> 00:42:42.659
if they did, it makes no difference whatsoever.

00:42:42.880 --> 00:42:44.800
They're just charging you more money because

00:42:44.800 --> 00:42:47.719
they're like, oh, you want charged? Okay, we'll

00:42:47.719 --> 00:42:56.659
do it. Yeah. Man, isn't it weird about Rob Reiner

00:42:56.659 --> 00:42:59.719
and his wife? Oh, shit. Yeah. This is entertainment.

00:42:59.980 --> 00:43:02.000
I have some more music stuff coming up, too.

00:43:02.059 --> 00:43:04.000
This is on the same page, so I'm going to get

00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:06.159
to it. No, no, no. I'll just explain it. We're

00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.900
entertainment and music. Yes. Well, look at it

00:43:09.900 --> 00:43:11.940
this way. Rob Reiner directed This Is Spinal

00:43:11.940 --> 00:43:13.880
Tap, which was all about a heavy metal band.

00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.099
That's right. Music related. But the story went

00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:20.119
from Rob Reiner found dead. to Rob Reiner and

00:43:20.119 --> 00:43:22.679
his wife found dead, to Rob Reiner and his wife

00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.539
murdered, to Rob Reiner and his wife murdered,

00:43:25.619 --> 00:43:28.079
and we have a person of interest, and then the

00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:29.760
person of interest turned out to be their son,

00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.840
and then their son was arrested, and just on

00:43:32.840 --> 00:43:34.460
and on. Then we find out that they were stabbed

00:43:34.460 --> 00:43:39.739
to death, and blah, blah, blah, blah. It's weird

00:43:39.739 --> 00:43:42.719
because his son Nick, who is under arrest for

00:43:42.719 --> 00:43:47.480
killing them both, he and Rob just recently put

00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:51.269
out a movie. about addictions and addiction struggle,

00:43:51.349 --> 00:43:53.829
which was based on Nick's own personal addiction

00:43:53.829 --> 00:43:57.889
struggles. In a picture like a couple weeks ago,

00:43:57.989 --> 00:44:01.789
the whole family... Hey there, slap nuts. It's

00:44:01.789 --> 00:44:07.210
time for The Creeps Music News. Hey, my little

00:44:07.210 --> 00:44:09.869
pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny Rohypnol with your

00:44:09.869 --> 00:44:12.949
music news. Ozzy Osbourne in collaboration with

00:44:12.949 --> 00:44:16.340
Liquid Death. sold 10 empty crushed ice tea cans

00:44:16.340 --> 00:44:20.380
containing his DNA for $450 each. The cans were

00:44:20.380 --> 00:44:23.380
part of a promotion called Infinitely Recyclable

00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:26.239
Aussie. They have since sold out. The cans were

00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:29.159
sealed in lab jars and contain a sample of Aussie

00:44:29.159 --> 00:44:32.539
saliva. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That was your

00:44:32.539 --> 00:44:35.619
music news. And remember, bar chords are bullshit.

00:44:41.610 --> 00:44:43.570
award ceremony, and everybody's smiling except

00:44:43.570 --> 00:44:46.989
Nick, who looks unhappy. He doesn't want to be

00:44:46.989 --> 00:44:50.809
there. Something was going on, something was

00:44:50.809 --> 00:44:54.409
happening, and something made him want to go

00:44:54.409 --> 00:45:00.289
murder both of his parents. Wow. Now, some of

00:45:00.289 --> 00:45:03.369
the things I first heard coming out about once

00:45:03.369 --> 00:45:07.650
they discovered it was his son was people were

00:45:07.650 --> 00:45:11.909
saying... Rob Reiner was, he was about as outspoken

00:45:11.909 --> 00:45:16.590
as Roger Waters is. Yes. On his liberal views,

00:45:16.909 --> 00:45:21.179
his hatred, I mean, absolute hatred. Republicans,

00:45:21.440 --> 00:45:23.820
conservatives, Trump, etc. Which is fine. He

00:45:23.820 --> 00:45:24.880
gets to. It's his choice. I didn't want to do

00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:27.260
it. Personally, I fucking hated him because he's

00:45:27.260 --> 00:45:29.539
one of the guys that causes division. Yeah, yeah.

00:45:29.719 --> 00:45:31.900
Now, he gets to do that if he wants. He's not

00:45:31.900 --> 00:45:34.000
breaking any laws by hating on that. No, but

00:45:34.000 --> 00:45:36.400
it's not my thing. Especially not anymore. I'm

00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:37.980
so sick of it. It's like, if you're going to

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:40.340
cause division, get out of the way. Yep. So,

00:45:40.440 --> 00:45:44.750
anyhow. But the comparison... immediately brought

00:45:44.750 --> 00:45:48.349
in was maybe somebody was taking Rob Reiner out

00:45:48.349 --> 00:45:51.010
the way somebody took Charlie Kirk out. That's

00:45:51.010 --> 00:45:52.750
funny because that's what I just thought about.

00:45:54.489 --> 00:45:59.769
And then Trump weighed in on basically that same

00:45:59.769 --> 00:46:02.329
thing. He really needs to stay out of shit like

00:46:02.329 --> 00:46:04.809
that. Yeah, he does. It was stupid. Anyhow, go

00:46:04.809 --> 00:46:11.630
ahead. But now the attitude has shifted to people

00:46:11.630 --> 00:46:14.320
are saying Okay, look how the liberals acted

00:46:14.320 --> 00:46:17.420
when Charlie Kirk was assassinated. Now, watch

00:46:17.420 --> 00:46:19.940
how the conservatives act now that Rob Reiner's

00:46:19.940 --> 00:46:22.719
been murdered. We're not going to go out and

00:46:22.719 --> 00:46:25.079
start imitating the act of being stabbed to death

00:46:25.079 --> 00:46:26.980
and bragging and boasting and laughing about

00:46:26.980 --> 00:46:29.719
it the way a lot of people did with Charlie Kirk.

00:46:29.960 --> 00:46:33.400
It really shows a difference in attitude and

00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:37.280
outlook on life. Yes, and I also have a little

00:46:37.280 --> 00:46:39.400
bit more I can expand on that, too, if you don't

00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:43.530
care. Go ahead. A lot of the liberals that we

00:46:43.530 --> 00:46:47.050
know, the extreme ones, just came out of college.

00:46:47.369 --> 00:46:51.250
They don't have a direction in life yet. They

00:46:51.250 --> 00:46:53.389
haven't been crushed to death and then brought

00:46:53.389 --> 00:46:55.730
back up and then smashed down and brought back

00:46:55.730 --> 00:46:58.409
up. So they don't have real -world experience.

00:46:58.429 --> 00:47:00.650
They're only going by what they think they know.

00:47:01.010 --> 00:47:05.809
And that breeds stuff like this. Yeah, you spend

00:47:05.809 --> 00:47:08.889
four years at a university where basically everybody

00:47:08.889 --> 00:47:11.329
around you is agreeing with you and there's never

00:47:11.329 --> 00:47:13.909
any discussion, there's never any critical thinking,

00:47:14.090 --> 00:47:16.110
there's no debate, there's no looking at either

00:47:16.110 --> 00:47:18.690
side. It's all just, here's what you should believe,

00:47:18.889 --> 00:47:21.750
here's what you should memorize it. Absolutely

00:47:21.750 --> 00:47:25.289
no study on it at all. Someone suggests something

00:47:25.289 --> 00:47:27.530
and you run with it. I mean, look at the internet.

00:47:28.670 --> 00:47:31.510
That's part of the problem is they have no real

00:47:31.510 --> 00:47:34.039
word experience. And they're the ones that are

00:47:34.039 --> 00:47:35.880
reacting to this going, ha ha, it's funny, he

00:47:35.880 --> 00:47:38.940
was killed. I lost a lot of people that I liked

00:47:38.940 --> 00:47:40.699
over this, and I'll never speak to them again.

00:47:41.099 --> 00:47:46.760
You do not ever, ever support that type of, I

00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:48.420
mean, what if we all ran around shooting each

00:47:48.420 --> 00:47:50.340
other in the fucking neck because you didn't

00:47:50.340 --> 00:47:52.739
agree with something? Yeah, yeah, the idea that,

00:47:52.860 --> 00:47:55.960
oh, I don't like your outlooks and views that

00:47:55.960 --> 00:47:58.489
you're legally allowed to have, therefore. I

00:47:58.489 --> 00:48:00.210
hope somebody murders you and I'm going to celebrate

00:48:00.210 --> 00:48:03.190
your murder. That's sick. People that say they

00:48:03.190 --> 00:48:06.630
celebrate freedom like that are completely misguided

00:48:06.630 --> 00:48:11.090
and lying. Anyhow, go ahead. I just wanted to

00:48:11.090 --> 00:48:14.949
mention that. We're going to find out in the

00:48:14.949 --> 00:48:17.789
coming weeks, etc., what motivations might be

00:48:17.789 --> 00:48:18.789
and what's all going to happen with it. It's

00:48:18.789 --> 00:48:20.590
something to think about, isn't it? It really

00:48:20.590 --> 00:48:25.659
is. I'm seeing a lot of... we love you stories

00:48:25.659 --> 00:48:28.500
about Rob Reiner and his career and his movies

00:48:28.500 --> 00:48:30.900
and people weighing in. Oh, I loved him so much.

00:48:30.900 --> 00:48:33.440
He was such a great guy. Which is all fine. But

00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:35.199
what I don't see. Most of them didn't even know

00:48:35.199 --> 00:48:38.579
who he was. Yeah. Meathead. Yeah. What I don't

00:48:38.579 --> 00:48:40.920
see is conservatives and conservative groups

00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:44.260
attacking and shaming people and saying you shouldn't

00:48:44.260 --> 00:48:47.780
like him. And let's see, one person said that

00:48:47.780 --> 00:48:50.420
Charlie Kirk's children should die. So should

00:48:50.420 --> 00:48:52.420
we all be saying that Rob Reiner's children should

00:48:52.420 --> 00:48:55.360
be murdered too? No, I don't see him saying that.

00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:59.840
And the problem is media picks up on these fringe

00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:03.820
people like that. I would say that most of the

00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:07.619
liberals that you don't hear from are more in

00:49:07.619 --> 00:49:10.380
the center and do not believe that and are appalled

00:49:10.380 --> 00:49:13.079
by an act like that. I got a good example of

00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:16.400
that years and years and years ago. I was in

00:49:16.400 --> 00:49:19.719
a band that played at a Harley Davidson kind

00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:23.179
of open house event. That was the one in Belton

00:49:23.179 --> 00:49:26.679
that Gail, Gail's Harley Davidson. Yeah, when

00:49:26.679 --> 00:49:29.039
she moved. Yeah, she was involved in this, but

00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:30.820
she hadn't moved to her new place yet. And this

00:49:30.820 --> 00:49:32.940
was the first time they were doing like a band

00:49:32.940 --> 00:49:36.760
thing. It went from, what was it, Worth to Gail's

00:49:36.760 --> 00:49:38.599
or something? I think they got a divorce or something

00:49:38.599 --> 00:49:40.400
and she inherited it or something like that.

00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:46.260
But I remember one TV news station showing up.

00:49:47.820 --> 00:49:50.420
And, of course, there's a bunch of bikers and

00:49:50.420 --> 00:49:54.280
people out in the parking lot between the two

00:49:54.280 --> 00:49:57.179
buildings that are doing all this. And the news

00:49:57.179 --> 00:50:03.780
crew looked around for the most outrageous, stereotypical

00:50:03.780 --> 00:50:07.860
biker person that you could find. Lots of huge

00:50:07.860 --> 00:50:11.019
beard, overweight, leather jacket with lots of

00:50:11.019 --> 00:50:16.489
patches and buttons, lots of tattoos. just a

00:50:16.489 --> 00:50:19.429
prototypical scary biker, and that's who they

00:50:19.429 --> 00:50:22.110
found, went and interviewed. Yeah, yes. So they

00:50:22.110 --> 00:50:25.130
wanted to create the image of this is what bikers

00:50:25.130 --> 00:50:27.389
are, this is what they all are. It's what they

00:50:27.389 --> 00:50:29.690
do. They find the most outrageous example of

00:50:29.690 --> 00:50:31.570
something, and that's who gets put on the news.

00:50:31.570 --> 00:50:34.250
Yeah, meanwhile, most bikers I know do bikers

00:50:34.250 --> 00:50:40.619
for babies. BACA, Bikers Against Child Abuse.

00:50:40.679 --> 00:50:43.199
Yes, BACA. And they do all of these, and they're

00:50:43.199 --> 00:50:46.679
intimidating people that have a huge heart. Yeah.

00:50:46.780 --> 00:50:49.719
But you'll never see that portrayed on TV, which

00:50:49.719 --> 00:50:53.559
is disturbing. Yeah. So, I mean, I used to ride

00:50:53.559 --> 00:50:55.480
motorcycles, so that made a difference on me.

00:50:55.539 --> 00:51:00.920
I used to hunt, and I remember that somebody

00:51:00.920 --> 00:51:02.800
I would teach in the hunter education courses,

00:51:02.840 --> 00:51:06.539
you could go out. hunting and ten times and do

00:51:06.539 --> 00:51:09.739
everything right, be kind, be considerate, pick

00:51:09.739 --> 00:51:13.159
up trash, and the press is going to ignore you.

00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:16.539
You've got one time and shoot too close to somebody's

00:51:16.539 --> 00:51:19.199
house or a little before shooting hours and you're

00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:21.780
going to be headlined next. Because they don't

00:51:21.780 --> 00:51:23.340
want to talk about hunters. They want to talk

00:51:23.340 --> 00:51:25.519
about bad hunters. Bad hunters, yes. They don't

00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:26.860
want to talk about bikers. They want to talk

00:51:26.860 --> 00:51:29.519
about bad, evil, scary bikers. And this is a

00:51:29.519 --> 00:51:33.340
problem, the agenda. The agenda is what a lot

00:51:33.340 --> 00:51:37.260
of these media outlets, they have their agenda

00:51:37.260 --> 00:51:40.539
on the wall. And it doesn't matter what happens.

00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:42.980
They have to make it fit their agenda. Yeah,

00:51:43.000 --> 00:51:46.940
yeah. So I think Rob Reiner is going to get massaged

00:51:46.940 --> 00:51:49.139
and squeaked and pushed into whatever it takes.

00:51:49.599 --> 00:51:52.219
to hold him up as some liberal hero who was cut

00:51:52.219 --> 00:51:54.300
down in his prime. He already is. And if they

00:51:54.300 --> 00:51:57.280
could find a way to blame the Republicans for

00:51:57.280 --> 00:51:59.139
it, they would. Well, and this is where Trump

00:51:59.139 --> 00:52:01.119
comes in. He really needs to keep his mouth shut.

00:52:01.199 --> 00:52:03.739
Yeah. He really does. Yeah, he didn't help anything

00:52:03.739 --> 00:52:08.059
by stepping in there. All he did was give the

00:52:08.059 --> 00:52:10.980
angry people another opportunity to hate on him.

00:52:11.280 --> 00:52:15.349
Yes. Which... I'm so sick of the Trump hate.

00:52:15.409 --> 00:52:17.710
I'm sick of the Biden hate. I'm sick of the liberal

00:52:17.710 --> 00:52:21.210
and conservative hate. I'm so tired of it. And

00:52:21.210 --> 00:52:24.630
the truth is, I'm in the middle on so many things.

00:52:24.650 --> 00:52:27.050
I don't think you can really fucking describe

00:52:27.050 --> 00:52:29.789
me as anything. Yeah, that's why I've never joined

00:52:29.789 --> 00:52:31.849
a political party. It's like there's not one

00:52:31.849 --> 00:52:34.510
out there that I agree with enough that I want

00:52:34.510 --> 00:52:37.329
to identify with them. And if I did find one,

00:52:37.409 --> 00:52:39.900
they could change completely tomorrow. And they

00:52:39.900 --> 00:52:43.199
do. Then I'd be stuck with a reputation of having

00:52:43.199 --> 00:52:45.940
supported them. Like, no thanks. The Republicans

00:52:45.940 --> 00:52:49.079
in the 90s, I didn't like them at all. They were

00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:51.260
like, huge business trampled the little man.

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:54.900
Now it seems to have shifted quite a bit. And

00:52:54.900 --> 00:52:57.000
so, I mean, I agree with them. In the 80s, the

00:52:57.000 --> 00:52:59.179
Republicans were all about deregulation. Yes,

00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.900
which led to where we are now. But they're saying,

00:53:01.920 --> 00:53:04.250
we need a free market. Well, when you have this

00:53:04.250 --> 00:53:06.210
free market like that and you can't stop anybody

00:53:06.210 --> 00:53:09.710
and you can't stop a monopoly, then you have

00:53:09.710 --> 00:53:12.730
what you have now. Yeah. Ticket bastard. All

00:53:12.730 --> 00:53:18.869
those guys. Yeah. Fucking Axis. All those guys.

00:53:19.070 --> 00:53:21.210
Yeah. They do whatever the fuck they want because

00:53:21.210 --> 00:53:24.489
they have a monopoly. And you have to play ball

00:53:24.489 --> 00:53:27.949
with them if you are going on tour. Yep. It's

00:53:27.949 --> 00:53:29.730
either do it their way or don't do it at all.

00:53:29.730 --> 00:53:35.789
Don't do it at all. All right. One more small

00:53:35.789 --> 00:53:40.269
story is the iRobot vacuum, the Roomba iRobot

00:53:40.269 --> 00:53:43.670
vacuum, the little hockey disc thing that scoots

00:53:43.670 --> 00:53:45.849
around your house. Are those the Roomba people?

00:53:46.190 --> 00:53:48.630
No, Roomba. Roomba, yeah. That's them, right?

00:53:48.710 --> 00:53:51.809
Yeah. Okay. They've declared bankruptcy. Okay.

00:53:53.449 --> 00:53:55.489
They say they're going to stay in business and

00:53:55.489 --> 00:53:57.590
keep producing product, but they need to totally

00:53:57.590 --> 00:53:59.570
reorganize and they're bankrupt. So it's chapter

00:53:59.570 --> 00:54:02.849
13. They're going to reorganize, pay off their

00:54:02.849 --> 00:54:06.469
debtors as much as they can, call it good. Okay.

00:54:06.690 --> 00:54:10.690
But I think the primary problem they have, have

00:54:10.690 --> 00:54:13.110
you ever priced any of those? Oh, they're way

00:54:13.110 --> 00:54:15.550
too high. They're insanely expensive. You can

00:54:15.550 --> 00:54:17.650
buy a knockoff model that works almost as well

00:54:17.650 --> 00:54:19.429
for a lot cheaper, and that's a problem. Everybody

00:54:19.429 --> 00:54:21.889
does that. They go to Amazon and look for...

00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:25.659
disc cleaners or something. And they're like,

00:54:25.719 --> 00:54:28.340
hey, look at this one. That was a problem. One

00:54:28.340 --> 00:54:31.780
of the problems that Peloton had, in addition

00:54:31.780 --> 00:54:34.619
to their streaming services, I mean, when you

00:54:34.619 --> 00:54:37.139
bought the exercise equipment, you had to buy

00:54:37.139 --> 00:54:39.440
a subscription to the streaming services. But

00:54:39.440 --> 00:54:41.400
if you didn't live in an area with high -speed,

00:54:41.420 --> 00:54:44.960
reliable internet, it did you no good. You couldn't

00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:48.880
use the online streaming services. And then a

00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.280
lot of people figured out, okay, We can make

00:54:51.280 --> 00:54:54.159
this exact same thing and offer our own online

00:54:54.159 --> 00:54:57.619
things for way less. And Peloton went bankrupt

00:54:57.619 --> 00:55:03.360
and had to reorganize and come back. That works

00:55:03.360 --> 00:55:05.400
out as a business model to introduce something

00:55:05.400 --> 00:55:07.659
new and fun and exciting and charge out the ass

00:55:07.659 --> 00:55:09.519
for it. But you've got to learn at a certain

00:55:09.519 --> 00:55:12.619
point people are tired of the high price. And

00:55:12.619 --> 00:55:15.159
it's like, no, I'm not paying that anymore. They'll

00:55:15.159 --> 00:55:18.469
pay a high price for like... A Rolls Royce or

00:55:18.469 --> 00:55:21.769
a Bentley or a Lamborghini or something. But

00:55:21.769 --> 00:55:25.409
an exercise bike? No. A home vacuum cleaner?

00:55:25.590 --> 00:55:28.070
I'm not paying premium prices for the name on

00:55:28.070 --> 00:55:33.769
that. The Rumba, whatever, they got the element

00:55:33.769 --> 00:55:35.590
of surprise when they came out with it. A lot

00:55:35.590 --> 00:55:38.510
of people rushed out and got it. Then after that

00:55:38.510 --> 00:55:40.130
was over and people figured out there's other

00:55:40.130 --> 00:55:42.489
options, they did that. So at first it looked

00:55:42.489 --> 00:55:45.050
great. I was like, oh, look at it. Smashing success.

00:55:45.449 --> 00:55:47.489
Yeah. Then all of a sudden everyone would quit

00:55:47.489 --> 00:55:49.309
buying it. And it's like, well, what happened?

00:55:49.429 --> 00:55:52.710
Well, competition happened. That's what happened.

00:55:52.849 --> 00:55:56.769
Free market. I'd say my mom was a pretty typical

00:55:56.769 --> 00:55:59.989
user. One of my brothers bought her the system

00:55:59.989 --> 00:56:04.829
and put it in her house. And it learns your house

00:56:04.829 --> 00:56:07.389
as it goes. It learns where its home base is.

00:56:07.929 --> 00:56:10.610
And then it ventures forth, and it maps your

00:56:10.610 --> 00:56:13.070
whole house a little bit at a time. It'll go

00:56:13.070 --> 00:56:14.969
around until it runs out of energy, and then

00:56:14.969 --> 00:56:17.710
it goes back and recharges. And over the course

00:56:17.710 --> 00:56:20.010
of several days, it will learn your whole house

00:56:20.010 --> 00:56:22.550
and learn how to vacuum. Except if you have pets.

00:56:22.750 --> 00:56:27.730
Yeah. Yeah, it picks up stuff it shouldn't. Yeah.

00:56:28.090 --> 00:56:32.360
But my mom didn't like that. You know, because

00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:34.840
it would go out and explore and do a little vacuuming

00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:36.780
for about 20 minutes and then go back. And then

00:56:36.780 --> 00:56:38.679
15 minutes later, it was coming out again. And

00:56:38.679 --> 00:56:40.900
she's like, well, that's not right. How could

00:56:40.900 --> 00:56:42.639
things get dirty again in 15 minutes? I'm like

00:56:42.639 --> 00:56:44.480
a little bitch who's earning this money. Yeah.

00:56:44.599 --> 00:56:47.239
Keep going. But she would never let it learn

00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:51.440
her house and do what it took to actually get

00:56:51.440 --> 00:56:53.219
to the point where it was doing the job efficiently.

00:56:53.559 --> 00:56:56.090
Too much control. Yeah. Every time it would leave

00:56:56.090 --> 00:56:57.809
its dock, she'd look at the clock and say, well,

00:56:57.849 --> 00:57:00.949
this is too soon. This is too early. We could

00:57:00.949 --> 00:57:03.690
not convince her. Let it do its job. Let it figure

00:57:03.690 --> 00:57:06.309
things out. She kept picking it up and sticking

00:57:06.309 --> 00:57:08.809
it back in its dock or just shutting the power

00:57:08.809 --> 00:57:13.190
off. That's counterproductive as hell. I mean,

00:57:13.210 --> 00:57:14.670
if she'd bought it herself, it would have been

00:57:14.670 --> 00:57:17.030
a waste of money. But someone bought it for her,

00:57:17.130 --> 00:57:19.710
and she didn't like it, didn't know how to use

00:57:19.710 --> 00:57:22.110
it, didn't trust it. And then when she passed...

00:57:22.619 --> 00:57:24.159
The brother that bought it for it took it and

00:57:24.159 --> 00:57:27.639
smacked himself. He's probably using it to this

00:57:27.639 --> 00:57:32.019
day. He probably so. Yeah, it doesn't surprise

00:57:32.019 --> 00:57:36.139
me by everything that we just said. I've got

00:57:36.139 --> 00:57:39.400
the Fleetwood Mac guitar curse. I mean, you're

00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:42.480
done, right? Yeah, I've got two more car stories

00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:44.340
and then we'll move on. Okay, we'll go into it

00:57:44.340 --> 00:57:47.420
here in a minute. The Fleetwood Mac guitar curse,

00:57:47.519 --> 00:57:51.400
guitarist curse. This is an expanded version

00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.699
of it. We broad -stroked it for a while now.

00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:57.500
Yeah. All right. This is The Curse of the Fleetwood

00:57:57.500 --> 00:58:00.500
Mac Guitarist. Peter Green, founder, suffered

00:58:00.500 --> 00:58:02.519
severe mental illness battling schizophrenia,

00:58:02.920 --> 00:58:06.539
psychosis linked to LSD use, quit music, and

00:58:06.539 --> 00:58:10.219
gave away all his money. Yeah. He does have a

00:58:10.219 --> 00:58:13.000
guitar named after him. He does. Yeah. The Greenie.

00:58:13.059 --> 00:58:15.559
The Greenie, yep. Because he had a Les Paul that

00:58:15.559 --> 00:58:18.360
was accidentally wired wrong at the factory.

00:58:18.940 --> 00:58:22.159
The neck pickup and the bridge pickup were in

00:58:22.159 --> 00:58:26.400
reverse polarity to each other. Which, on a Stratocaster,

00:58:26.460 --> 00:58:29.460
that's on purpose. Yeah. But on a two -pickup

00:58:29.460 --> 00:58:31.219
humbucker guitar, that's not on purpose. No,

00:58:31.219 --> 00:58:33.780
no. So when you had the two pickups both on at

00:58:33.780 --> 00:58:36.219
the same time, you got this weird, quacky, kind

00:58:36.219 --> 00:58:38.820
of filtered noise that was kind of distinctive.

00:58:38.980 --> 00:58:43.460
And he rode that to a nice career. True. And

00:58:43.460 --> 00:58:46.780
now they're making replicas of the Greeny guitar.

00:58:46.860 --> 00:58:51.679
I know. It's funny how that does, isn't it? Of

00:58:51.679 --> 00:58:53.400
course, I have one that all you have to do is

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:56.360
pull up a knob, and it switches the polarity

00:58:56.360 --> 00:58:58.719
for you. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah. So you can

00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:00.619
turn it on and turn it off, and that one only

00:59:00.619 --> 00:59:03.539
cost me $600, but these Gibson Greeny versions

00:59:03.539 --> 00:59:07.940
are about $3 ,000. Yeah, way too much. Yeah.

00:59:08.239 --> 00:59:11.820
All right, Jeremy Spencer, his original. Yeah.

00:59:12.329 --> 00:59:15.050
Vanished during 1971 U .S. tour after joining

00:59:15.050 --> 00:59:18.489
the Children of the God religious cult. Oh, yeah.

00:59:18.510 --> 00:59:22.389
Remember Children of the God? Yeah. Yeah. Interesting.

00:59:22.530 --> 00:59:25.769
That was one that I did not know. There was a

00:59:25.769 --> 00:59:30.190
keyboard player that used to tour with Alice

00:59:30.190 --> 00:59:32.289
Cooper, among other bands, Joseph Sharowski.

00:59:32.630 --> 00:59:37.969
Yes. And on one tour, he met a young woman, and

00:59:37.969 --> 00:59:43.159
they fell in love. She introduced him to a quiet

00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:47.239
life of a farmer. And he, after the tour was

00:59:47.239 --> 00:59:49.059
over, he quit rock and roll and just went to

00:59:49.059 --> 00:59:53.019
be a farmer in the backwoods somewhere. That's

00:59:53.019 --> 00:59:56.380
kind of neat. Yeah. Just like that. All that

00:59:56.380 --> 00:59:58.440
was fun, but oh shit, there goes my glasses.

00:59:59.079 --> 01:00:04.019
And apparently they have lots of kids now. Okay.

01:00:04.420 --> 01:00:10.170
So he became Amish. Yeah. Danny Kerwin. In the

01:00:10.170 --> 01:00:13.210
60s and 70s, developed alcoholism, suffered psychotic

01:00:13.210 --> 01:00:16.150
breakdowns, became homeless, and struggled with

01:00:16.150 --> 01:00:18.489
severe stage fright. Yeah, I remember Danny Kerwin.

01:00:18.630 --> 01:00:21.869
Yeah. So he had a lot of shit going on. Yeah.

01:00:23.329 --> 01:00:26.250
You know about Bob Welch, of course. Yeah. He

01:00:26.250 --> 01:00:29.389
committed suicide. His wife is still sure that

01:00:29.389 --> 01:00:33.469
it was the Ambien he was on that made him commit

01:00:33.469 --> 01:00:36.949
suicide. Yeah, but they said he had constant

01:00:36.949 --> 01:00:39.070
pain from his spinal surgery, and that's what

01:00:39.070 --> 01:00:41.289
led to it. But I mean, it could have been a combination

01:00:41.289 --> 01:00:45.250
of both. Who knows? And also, whenever something

01:00:45.250 --> 01:00:47.030
like that happens, you tend to blame what you

01:00:47.030 --> 01:00:50.289
see. You're like, well, that's why it happened.

01:00:52.630 --> 01:00:55.570
Maybe part of it. Yeah, maybe not. From what

01:00:55.570 --> 01:00:58.030
I heard, it was like the last chance surgery

01:00:58.030 --> 01:01:00.489
to fix his back problems, and it didn't work.

01:01:00.840 --> 01:01:02.659
Yeah, and he was just kind of like, I don't want

01:01:02.659 --> 01:01:05.280
to be around if I'm going to be in constant pain.

01:01:06.099 --> 01:01:09.059
Yeah. So I get it. I mean, some of it could have

01:01:09.059 --> 01:01:11.659
been the ambient kind of clouding your brain,

01:01:11.739 --> 01:01:15.239
but, I mean, that hasn't been proven by any measure.

01:01:15.659 --> 01:01:20.699
I know when my mom broke her neck, it wasn't

01:01:20.699 --> 01:01:25.420
healing. There's just no bone growth. So they

01:01:25.420 --> 01:01:28.420
said, well, there's a surgery we can do to kind

01:01:28.420 --> 01:01:31.059
of fuse things and give you, you know, use of

01:01:31.059 --> 01:01:34.360
your neck and head back but it doesn't have a

01:01:34.360 --> 01:01:37.039
high success rate and if it doesn't succeed you're

01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.980
going to be in chronic severe pain and painkillers

01:01:39.980 --> 01:01:43.320
won't work so that's the downside she said well

01:01:43.320 --> 01:01:48.760
let's not do it then So you're telling me I'm

01:01:48.760 --> 01:01:50.219
going to go through all this pain, spend all

01:01:50.219 --> 01:01:52.380
this money, and it might not work. And there's

01:01:52.380 --> 01:01:54.300
a good chance I'll be worse off than I was before.

01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:56.880
No, thanks. That's why I won't do shoulder surgery.

01:01:56.900 --> 01:02:00.940
Yeah, surgery on your shoulder should always

01:02:00.940 --> 01:02:04.059
be the absolute very last resort. Well, I mean,

01:02:04.079 --> 01:02:07.199
not only am I down for basically a year, but

01:02:07.199 --> 01:02:09.699
if you move around wrong enough, you have to

01:02:09.699 --> 01:02:11.639
go in for another surgery to have it amended.

01:02:11.719 --> 01:02:14.059
It's like, no, thank you. I think I'm going to

01:02:14.059 --> 01:02:17.670
do my best. just to not injure it ever again.

01:02:18.670 --> 01:02:23.050
All right. Bob Weston, early 70s in Fleetwood

01:02:23.050 --> 01:02:25.610
Mac, fired after an affair with Mick Fleetwood's

01:02:25.610 --> 01:02:30.030
wife, later died from gastrointestinal hemorrhage

01:02:30.030 --> 01:02:37.110
in 2012. Gastrointestinal hemorrhage. That could

01:02:37.110 --> 01:02:40.730
be as a result of alcoholism. Probably. And I

01:02:40.730 --> 01:02:43.170
didn't know he had an affair with Mick Fleetwood's

01:02:43.170 --> 01:02:45.710
wife. Yeah. Well, Mick had an affair with other

01:02:45.710 --> 01:02:47.050
people's wives. No, that's what I was getting

01:02:47.050 --> 01:02:49.989
ready to say. It's kind of like Just Desserts.

01:02:49.989 --> 01:02:52.409
Yeah. Oh, he's done enough of that. Oh, man,

01:02:52.469 --> 01:02:54.190
yeah. You didn't bring them around the band.

01:02:54.289 --> 01:02:57.869
He'd be trying to bang them all the fucking time.

01:02:58.469 --> 01:03:00.909
Yeah, drummers are notorious for that. Yeah,

01:03:00.929 --> 01:03:04.150
yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like the old, what do

01:03:04.150 --> 01:03:06.449
you call a guy that hangs around musicians? Drummers.

01:03:06.469 --> 01:03:09.159
Yeah. That's like when you see a band breaks

01:03:09.159 --> 01:03:11.579
up for creative difference. That's code for the

01:03:11.579 --> 01:03:14.239
drummer slept with my wife. Yes. Or if you're

01:03:14.239 --> 01:03:17.420
at Poison when they hired Richie Cotsen. Supposedly

01:03:17.420 --> 01:03:18.800
he banged all their wives and they're kind of

01:03:18.800 --> 01:03:20.840
like, well, we really like this guy, but he did

01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:23.659
this. He's out. They're like, CC, do you want

01:03:23.659 --> 01:03:27.780
to come back? Then my wives will touch you. Don't

01:03:27.780 --> 01:03:29.719
blame them there. Yeah, don't blame them. Your

01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:34.519
pink hair. Yeah, goofy little mannerisms. Anyhow,

01:03:34.519 --> 01:03:36.860
I'm surprised he likes women, actually. He's

01:03:36.860 --> 01:03:38.940
kind of infeminate to me, but anyhow. It's a

01:03:38.940 --> 01:03:41.340
little weird. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Lindsey

01:03:41.340 --> 01:03:45.139
Buckingham, of course, later, faced intense interpersonal

01:03:45.139 --> 01:03:48.519
conflicts, temporary exits, firings, and had

01:03:48.519 --> 01:03:53.739
his own well -documented eccentricities, which

01:03:53.739 --> 01:03:55.420
he did. You know, there are a lot of stuff that

01:03:55.420 --> 01:03:58.059
he demanded, wanted, and all that during performances,

01:03:58.219 --> 01:04:01.000
and that led to them and all the lawsuits and

01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:03.059
them not being with him anymore and continuing

01:04:03.059 --> 01:04:06.469
to tour without him. The girl's heels are about

01:04:06.469 --> 01:04:09.570
four inches tall. Are those making a comeback

01:04:09.570 --> 01:04:12.369
now? Maybe she just doesn't like being short.

01:04:12.590 --> 01:04:15.769
I think orthopedic surgeons convinced everybody

01:04:15.769 --> 01:04:18.869
that's what they want to wear. Yeah, like high

01:04:18.869 --> 01:04:21.829
heels. Orthopedic surgeons. They came up with

01:04:21.829 --> 01:04:23.469
those. Hey, these make your legs look better.

01:04:23.949 --> 01:04:26.690
You know, if you're going to be a doctor, you

01:04:26.690 --> 01:04:29.510
should probably just be a dermatologist. Because

01:04:29.510 --> 01:04:31.630
it's real simple. If it's wet, keep it dry. If

01:04:31.630 --> 01:04:33.449
it's dry, keep it wet. If it shouldn't be there,

01:04:33.489 --> 01:04:35.590
cut it off. That's it. That's a dermatologist.

01:04:36.989 --> 01:04:40.230
So what you're saying is the dummies in the class,

01:04:40.269 --> 01:04:43.150
they're all looking around going, The ones that

01:04:43.150 --> 01:04:45.710
graduate last and great in med school. They're

01:04:45.710 --> 01:04:48.329
all going, you're going to dermatology. But I,

01:04:48.429 --> 01:04:50.929
no. You're going to dermatology or not. Okay.

01:04:51.530 --> 01:04:54.269
Dermatology it is. Like it or you're going to

01:04:54.269 --> 01:04:59.090
be a proctologist. You're going to go spelunking

01:04:59.090 --> 01:05:03.510
every day. Who wakes up and goes, man, I want

01:05:03.510 --> 01:05:05.449
to be a proctologist. I want to look up people's

01:05:05.449 --> 01:05:09.289
assholes. I don't know. I'm glad they're there.

01:05:09.289 --> 01:05:11.630
We need them. God bless them for doing it. But,

01:05:11.670 --> 01:05:13.869
I mean, I don't know. I'd be like, let's see,

01:05:14.070 --> 01:05:17.610
dermatologist. Pretty much any other orifice

01:05:17.610 --> 01:05:19.469
would be preferable to the butthole. Yeah, yeah.

01:05:19.769 --> 01:05:22.849
Oral surgeon, something. But proctologist, nah.

01:05:24.489 --> 01:05:27.969
Another thing about Lindsey Buckingham is his

01:05:27.969 --> 01:05:31.590
preferred style of playing was an acoustic guitar

01:05:31.590 --> 01:05:34.050
played with his fingers. Yes. He hates guitar

01:05:34.050 --> 01:05:37.030
picks, and he hates electric guitars. But the

01:05:37.030 --> 01:05:38.969
first thing that happened when he joined Fleetwood

01:05:38.969 --> 01:05:41.170
Mac was Mick Fleetwood went out and bought him

01:05:41.170 --> 01:05:44.590
a Les Paul guitar and said, you will play this.

01:05:44.969 --> 01:05:47.150
And there's a lot of bartering going on, too,

01:05:47.210 --> 01:05:51.380
because he was adamant not playing it. There's

01:05:51.380 --> 01:05:54.559
a huge backstory on his demands, even then. And

01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:57.019
Mick Fleetwood wanted him so bad that he's like,

01:05:57.099 --> 01:05:59.699
all right, I'll do it. I can't remember what

01:05:59.699 --> 01:06:02.320
it was, though. The odd thing is that originally

01:06:02.320 --> 01:06:05.159
they wanted Lindsey, and he said, well, Stevie

01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:07.659
comes with me. And they're like, eh. Yeah, that's

01:06:07.659 --> 01:06:10.139
right. That was one of them. That quickly turned

01:06:10.139 --> 01:06:14.000
into, we better give Lindsey what he wants because

01:06:14.000 --> 01:06:16.639
we want to keep Stevie. They knew Stevie was

01:06:16.639 --> 01:06:19.789
it, but if they pissed Lindsey off. They would

01:06:19.789 --> 01:06:21.889
both go. Yeah, they didn't necessarily care about

01:06:21.889 --> 01:06:24.230
Lindsey Buckingham. They loved his style of playing,

01:06:24.250 --> 01:06:27.190
and I do too. Good songwriter. Great songwriter.

01:06:27.250 --> 01:06:29.550
That really gave them their sound. Yeah, it really

01:06:29.550 --> 01:06:31.769
did. Before that, they were kind of mediocre.

01:06:32.789 --> 01:06:37.650
Yeah, yeah. When that album came out, which one

01:06:37.650 --> 01:06:40.289
came out first, Rumors or Fleetwood Mac? I think

01:06:40.289 --> 01:06:41.690
it was Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac came out

01:06:41.690 --> 01:06:44.650
first, yeah. When that came out, what I kept

01:06:44.650 --> 01:06:47.349
seeing over and over in the critics' comments,

01:06:49.059 --> 01:06:51.679
was that it was a really confusing album because

01:06:51.679 --> 01:06:53.920
nobody was accustomed to Fleetwood Mac actually

01:06:53.920 --> 01:06:56.320
writing hits. Yes. They're like, oh, my God,

01:06:56.460 --> 01:07:00.239
this has, like, hits on it. They actually have

01:07:00.239 --> 01:07:03.320
hit songs. Yeah, it's not anymore like a niche

01:07:03.320 --> 01:07:05.500
thing where certain people and only certain people

01:07:05.500 --> 01:07:07.579
knew about it. It was kind of like they went

01:07:07.579 --> 01:07:10.500
to massive radio plays still to this day. Yeah.

01:07:10.760 --> 01:07:14.559
Huge radio play. I can only think of a few Fleetwood

01:07:14.559 --> 01:07:18.280
Mac songs from prior to Buckingham Knicks. There

01:07:18.280 --> 01:07:21.440
was Hypnotized, which was sung by Bob Welch.

01:07:21.500 --> 01:07:25.340
Uh -huh. Black Magic Woman, which was a Fleetwood

01:07:25.340 --> 01:07:28.920
Mac song originally. And then sold to Santana.

01:07:29.059 --> 01:07:32.219
Which, you know, was a brilliant choice. Yes,

01:07:32.239 --> 01:07:43.579
he did. Yeah. And... Oh, Well. Yeah, okay. The

01:07:43.579 --> 01:07:48.469
one that goes... Can't help it about the shape

01:07:48.469 --> 01:07:50.650
I'm in. Can't sing ain't pretty and my legs are

01:07:50.650 --> 01:07:52.989
thin. Don't ask me what I think of you because

01:07:52.989 --> 01:07:55.150
I might not give you the answer that you want

01:07:55.150 --> 01:07:58.610
me to. That was prior to Buckingham and Nix.

01:07:58.809 --> 01:08:03.630
Yeah, it was. That was a decent hit. It wasn't

01:08:03.630 --> 01:08:09.030
like their uniqueness of their hit writing. Buckingham

01:08:09.030 --> 01:08:12.409
had so much to do with that because he was not

01:08:12.409 --> 01:08:15.659
an electric guitar player. Totally different

01:08:15.659 --> 01:08:18.039
perspective, kind of like Randy Rhodes did, coming

01:08:18.039 --> 01:08:20.319
from classical. It's kind of like, what is this?

01:08:20.939 --> 01:08:22.800
He's like, well, this is what you get when you

01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:26.520
get a classical trained player shredding. Imagine

01:08:26.520 --> 01:08:28.939
if John Denver had picked up an electric guitar.

01:08:29.260 --> 01:08:30.659
Oh, I would have loved to have heard it. Wouldn't

01:08:30.659 --> 01:08:32.920
that have been weird, though? How about Roy Clark?

01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:34.899
It would have been amazing to hear. Roy Clark.

01:08:35.239 --> 01:08:41.060
Yeah. That guy was so fast. Yeah. And Glen Campbell.

01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:43.579
Glen Campbell, another one. Stunningly good guitar

01:08:43.579 --> 01:08:45.840
player. Yeah. I would love to have heard all

01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:48.539
of them on electric. You can actually see some

01:08:48.539 --> 01:08:51.340
videos out there of Roy Clark on electric doing

01:08:51.340 --> 01:08:53.699
a song called Classical Gas. Oh, I didn't know

01:08:53.699 --> 01:08:57.319
he ever did. Yeah, there's one where he's playing

01:08:57.319 --> 01:09:00.359
it on a 12 -string electric. Really? Sounds so

01:09:00.359 --> 01:09:03.920
nice. Oh, with Jimmy Page? Yeah. Okay. I think

01:09:03.920 --> 01:09:07.140
it was an Ovation. An Ovation, okay. It had the

01:09:07.140 --> 01:09:10.880
Ovation headstock. Kind of looks like a hammerhead

01:09:10.880 --> 01:09:13.000
shark. I'm going to have to look that up. I bet

01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:16.020
it was great, wasn't it? Yeah. Yeah. I think

01:09:16.020 --> 01:09:19.220
it wasn't classical gas. That was one I saw Glenn

01:09:19.220 --> 01:09:22.479
Campbell do. But pretty much any live performance

01:09:22.479 --> 01:09:24.119
of Roy Clark playing guitar, you're going to

01:09:24.119 --> 01:09:25.880
love it. Yeah, I agree. He was just amazing.

01:09:26.420 --> 01:09:30.300
Yeah. Yeah, Roy Clark was in a division all by

01:09:30.300 --> 01:09:33.159
himself. Of course, he was mainly banjo. Yeah,

01:09:33.180 --> 01:09:37.140
which is not an easy instrument. No. No, you

01:09:37.140 --> 01:09:39.479
have five fingers with little metal picks on

01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:41.779
them. Yep. And you know what they're doing constantly

01:09:41.779 --> 01:09:44.300
while the other finger is doing chords and notes.

01:09:44.539 --> 01:09:46.800
What freaks me out about a banjo is that string

01:09:46.800 --> 01:09:48.960
that doesn't go all the way up to the head. Yeah.

01:09:49.060 --> 01:09:51.439
It goes up to like about the third fret and ends

01:09:51.439 --> 01:09:53.279
there, and there's a toonie pick sticking out

01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:54.800
of the neck. You're like, what the hell? Is this

01:09:54.800 --> 01:09:58.699
Frankenstein? It's like, who the fuck designed

01:09:58.699 --> 01:10:00.880
this? Yeah. But then you hear it and you go,

01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:04.949
oh, okay. That's where you get that flat sound

01:10:04.949 --> 01:10:08.449
in the middle of it. It's good. I would love

01:10:08.449 --> 01:10:12.069
to try playing mandolin and ukulele, but I don't

01:10:12.069 --> 01:10:14.010
want to tackle the banjo. They say that a lot

01:10:14.010 --> 01:10:16.789
of songs are actually written on ukulele because

01:10:16.789 --> 01:10:20.710
they're easier to write on. And a lot of musicians

01:10:20.710 --> 01:10:23.590
that are not that good, but good at coming up

01:10:23.590 --> 01:10:27.500
with ideas for writing songs, use that. I'm starting

01:10:27.500 --> 01:10:30.579
to see some guitars, actual full -size guitars,

01:10:30.739 --> 01:10:34.560
being sold with only three strings, the top three

01:10:34.560 --> 01:10:37.600
strings. And it's basically rhythm and songwriting.

01:10:37.880 --> 01:10:40.380
Yeah, because once you get that power chord,

01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:42.920
if you will, down, you move it on the frets,

01:10:42.920 --> 01:10:45.720
you can move it anywhere, up or down, and that's

01:10:45.720 --> 01:10:49.079
how you write a song easily like that too. Yeah,

01:10:49.079 --> 01:10:51.420
and if you want to flesh it out later with more

01:10:51.420 --> 01:10:54.260
complex chords. A lot of times they do. Sometimes

01:10:54.260 --> 01:10:57.359
they're like, keep it. Malcolm Young. He'll be

01:10:57.359 --> 01:11:03.840
right there. Sometimes too many chefs spoil the

01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:07.180
broth. And so sometimes simplicity is the key.

01:11:08.840 --> 01:11:16.220
Especially in anthems. Yeah. Alright. Let's see.

01:11:16.399 --> 01:11:19.159
Go ahead. You got something? Just right now.

01:11:19.800 --> 01:11:22.060
Let's come up off the top of our head with some

01:11:22.060 --> 01:11:27.850
of our most most valuable rhythm guitarists.

01:11:28.689 --> 01:11:31.850
Okay. Maybe they don't get the recognition, maybe

01:11:31.850 --> 01:11:34.590
they do, but they're super important to the band.

01:11:34.850 --> 01:11:37.069
I've got the two that stand out the most, and

01:11:37.069 --> 01:11:39.689
that's Iommi and Blackmore. I know they play

01:11:39.689 --> 01:11:44.789
lead, but their rhythm is what they excel at.

01:11:45.990 --> 01:11:48.390
I think Ozzy coined it the best. He said the

01:11:48.390 --> 01:11:50.090
best guitarist you ever worked with was Tony

01:11:50.090 --> 01:11:53.329
Iommi because American players play too fast,

01:11:53.369 --> 01:11:57.670
and a European player is even worse. I agree

01:11:57.670 --> 01:12:01.170
with that. Songwriting is one thing. Flashy is

01:12:01.170 --> 01:12:04.109
completely different. You know, you've got a

01:12:04.109 --> 01:12:07.289
bridge, you've got a hook. All this stuff goes

01:12:07.289 --> 01:12:09.369
into writing songs, and this is what makes a

01:12:09.369 --> 01:12:11.770
song good. And there's so much feel that you

01:12:11.770 --> 01:12:14.510
can imbue in a rhythm guitar track. Yeah. Mick

01:12:14.510 --> 01:12:17.850
Mars. Yeah. There are so many more examples,

01:12:17.949 --> 01:12:19.569
so let's get into it a little bit more. Brad

01:12:19.569 --> 01:12:22.869
Whitford, Aerosmith. Oh, yeah. Although he does

01:12:22.869 --> 01:12:25.989
play some lead. Yeah, he does. But he is so good.

01:12:26.270 --> 01:12:28.489
Underrated. Yeah. I mean, think of all those

01:12:28.489 --> 01:12:32.750
signature hooks from Aerosmith. Hey, my fellow

01:12:32.750 --> 01:12:36.689
heavy breeders. This is Dash Riptide. Your music

01:12:36.689 --> 01:12:41.270
news. Megadeth has announced a final album in

01:12:41.270 --> 01:12:45.930
a 2026 global. farewell tour. To conclude their

01:12:45.930 --> 01:12:48.470
career after 40 years, the first wave of tour

01:12:48.470 --> 01:12:51.529
dates for a Latin American leg in April and May

01:12:51.529 --> 01:12:55.489
2026, with more dates to be announced for the

01:12:55.489 --> 01:12:58.050
worldwide tour. While the full tour schedule

01:12:58.050 --> 01:13:00.409
has been released, tickets for the initial dates

01:13:00.409 --> 01:13:02.829
are available, and there is also an announced

01:13:02.829 --> 01:13:05.409
performance with Iron Maiden Concert in Harrison,

01:13:05.529 --> 01:13:10.510
New Jersey in September 2026. This is Gash Rooktine,

01:13:10.689 --> 01:13:14.069
and that was your music news. If it's too loud,

01:13:14.130 --> 01:13:20.689
you probably have ear damage, just like me. A

01:13:20.689 --> 01:13:26.909
lot of them were rhythm guitar hooks, not lead.

01:13:27.130 --> 01:13:32.170
They could walk this way. That's Brad Whitford.

01:13:32.390 --> 01:13:36.710
Yes. It was not Joe Perry, like people go. Music

01:13:36.710 --> 01:13:40.010
do the talking. That was Joe Perry. That was

01:13:40.010 --> 01:13:42.369
off of his Joe Perry project, and then they stole

01:13:42.369 --> 01:13:45.029
it or whatever, borrowed it on Aerosmith. Yeah.

01:13:45.609 --> 01:13:49.470
But a lot of those classic ones dream on. Yeah.

01:13:49.630 --> 01:13:52.930
Yeah, I mean, he had a knack. Sweet Emotion.

01:13:53.069 --> 01:13:56.310
Sweet Emotion, yeah. Although the bass on that

01:13:56.310 --> 01:14:00.470
is incredible. Yeah. The bass on that is so good.

01:14:00.729 --> 01:14:05.430
It's simple, but it just hits it. Dave Knopfler.

01:14:05.899 --> 01:14:08.579
Oh, yeah. The brother of Mark Knopfler. Yeah.

01:14:08.680 --> 01:14:11.520
Dire Straits. Because Dave was their original

01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:14.600
rhythm guitar player. Uh -huh. And he was, you

01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:16.279
know, in the Psalm Sultans of Swing, he talks

01:14:16.279 --> 01:14:18.460
about, you know, check out guitar George. He

01:14:18.460 --> 01:14:20.300
knows all the chords. Yeah. But it's strictly

01:14:20.300 --> 01:14:22.239
rhythm. He doesn't want to make it cry or sing.

01:14:22.750 --> 01:14:24.470
He was talking about his brother Dave. Yeah.

01:14:24.630 --> 01:14:26.210
Because his brother Dave was like, I don't want

01:14:26.210 --> 01:14:28.090
to do leads. I don't want to do solos. That's

01:14:28.090 --> 01:14:30.529
your deal. I'm just a bad play rhythm. And the

01:14:30.529 --> 01:14:34.810
way he sang, talked. Take a look. Let's see.

01:14:34.890 --> 01:14:36.949
What are the exact words? We got to move these

01:14:36.949 --> 01:14:41.029
refrigerators. We got to move. Yeah, yeah. Really

01:14:41.029 --> 01:14:43.869
good stuff. Yeah. The thing is, it really gets

01:14:43.869 --> 01:14:47.090
me is, they still use the F word as regard to

01:14:47.090 --> 01:14:51.539
homosexuals. Yeah. On that song. Yep. It says,

01:14:51.600 --> 01:14:54.640
look at that F. That's the way you do it. Yep.

01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:56.859
Look at it. He's going to, he's going to. The

01:14:56.859 --> 01:14:58.739
little F has his own jet airplane. Yeah. The

01:14:58.739 --> 01:15:00.960
little F is a millionaire. Yes. Yeah. And it's

01:15:00.960 --> 01:15:03.439
like, and I still hear that on the radio. I'm

01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.479
like. Yeah. Don't they realize that, you know,

01:15:06.479 --> 01:15:08.380
that that is being said? But then again, you

01:15:08.380 --> 01:15:10.640
can hear Jimi Hendrix, let's stop talking bullshit

01:15:10.640 --> 01:15:14.180
now. Yeah. And you can hear Who the Fuck Are

01:15:14.180 --> 01:15:17.869
You? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Pink Floyd's money,

01:15:18.069 --> 01:15:21.729
do -goody -good bullshit. Yes. And people sing

01:15:21.729 --> 01:15:25.270
it out loud everywhere. Yeah, you sing it in

01:15:25.270 --> 01:15:26.829
front of your parents and don't even feel weird

01:15:26.829 --> 01:15:29.710
about it. Yeah, and usually your parents are

01:15:29.710 --> 01:15:31.229
singing it with you going, yeah, yeah, yeah,

01:15:31.229 --> 01:15:37.710
that's a good song. Oh, Mick Ralph's. Mick Ralph's.

01:15:37.710 --> 01:15:39.590
Oh, my God, yeah. Awesome rhythm guitar. Oh,

01:15:39.590 --> 01:15:43.909
my gosh, yeah. I mean, rock steady. Yeah. How

01:15:43.909 --> 01:15:47.090
about that rhythm? Simple, but. my god that thing

01:15:47.090 --> 01:15:49.590
is just incredible but he does little tricks

01:15:49.590 --> 01:15:52.109
on it and deviates from it but it's not much

01:15:52.109 --> 01:15:55.970
yeah just a couple of notes it's like wow he

01:15:55.970 --> 01:15:57.970
just added that and it just made it 100 times

01:15:57.970 --> 01:16:00.229
better yeah and then on the next verse he takes

01:16:00.229 --> 01:16:02.409
it away and then he brings it back very very

01:16:02.409 --> 01:16:07.609
clever inventive um nimble really nimble fingers

01:16:07.609 --> 01:16:10.369
by the way he's done things yeah um yeah i just

01:16:10.369 --> 01:16:12.789
recently read an article paul rogers was talking

01:16:12.789 --> 01:16:18.600
about mick rousey saying man That guy was probably

01:16:18.600 --> 01:16:21.680
the best guy that I ever worked with. He said

01:16:21.680 --> 01:16:24.060
that he just had a knack for all this stuff.

01:16:24.180 --> 01:16:26.960
And whatever I felt we needed, he could just

01:16:26.960 --> 01:16:30.640
do. He could just produce. And Paul Rogers is

01:16:30.640 --> 01:16:32.939
a music writer himself. He can play piano and

01:16:32.939 --> 01:16:35.760
guitar. So he knows what he's talking about.

01:16:35.819 --> 01:16:38.000
He's not just a singer that's like, oh yeah,

01:16:38.079 --> 01:16:39.819
like a David Lee Roth or something. He knows

01:16:39.819 --> 01:16:45.670
absolutely nothing about music. They didn't always

01:16:45.670 --> 01:16:48.510
get along. I remember when Bad Company broke

01:16:48.510 --> 01:16:50.729
up the first time. No, they did not get along

01:16:50.729 --> 01:16:53.949
a lot of times, yeah. The story I read was that

01:16:53.949 --> 01:16:56.630
they argued and then the argument turned physical.

01:16:57.050 --> 01:17:00.109
And then Mick Ralphs, who was a black belt in

01:17:00.109 --> 01:17:02.649
one of the martial arts, basically kicked Paul

01:17:02.649 --> 01:17:06.750
Rogers' ass. Yes. I think I was confirmed by

01:17:06.750 --> 01:17:10.670
Paul Rogers, too. And I don't think Paul Rogers

01:17:10.670 --> 01:17:13.010
said this just because Mick Ralph passed away.

01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:15.920
I think that he really did truly mean it. But,

01:17:15.939 --> 01:17:18.720
I mean, it's just like all these bands. In the

01:17:18.720 --> 01:17:20.380
heat of the moment, they don't like each other.

01:17:20.479 --> 01:17:23.539
But when they go home and they listen to what

01:17:23.539 --> 01:17:25.399
they created and go, you know what? I needed

01:17:25.399 --> 01:17:27.520
him to kick me in the ass. Yeah, yeah. Look where

01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:30.060
I am because we work together. Because he challenged

01:17:30.060 --> 01:17:33.520
me. Queen was like that. He had Brian May and

01:17:33.520 --> 01:17:35.859
also Styx. You had Brian May, the melodic. Or,

01:17:35.899 --> 01:17:39.420
no, you had the rocker. Styx, too. You had Tommy

01:17:39.420 --> 01:17:42.229
Shaw, Dennis DeYoung. There's something about

01:17:42.229 --> 01:17:44.329
that that makes such great music. Queen, you

01:17:44.329 --> 01:17:47.689
have Brian May, Riffmaster. That's another one

01:17:47.689 --> 01:17:49.569
right there. Oh, yeah, Riffmasters. Yeah, yeah.

01:17:49.649 --> 01:17:52.569
Well, and also rhythm guitarists. Yeah. And then

01:17:52.569 --> 01:17:57.310
you have Freddie Mercury, opera. Gosh, all his

01:17:57.310 --> 01:18:01.050
influence. You can tell what Freddie Mercury

01:18:01.050 --> 01:18:03.970
was really into by what he put out when he left

01:18:03.970 --> 01:18:09.850
Queen. Yes. A lot more like show tunes. Definitely

01:18:09.850 --> 01:18:12.050
not the rock and roll arrangement or rock and

01:18:12.050 --> 01:18:15.149
roll instrumentation. Mr. Nice Guy or something.

01:18:15.189 --> 01:18:17.590
Something like that. Yeah, that was an interesting

01:18:17.590 --> 01:18:21.789
album. Yeah. Because it was nothing. A lot of

01:18:21.789 --> 01:18:27.649
piano -based songs. Yeah, a lot. Trying to think

01:18:27.649 --> 01:18:29.489
of more rhythm guitar players. There's a lot

01:18:29.489 --> 01:18:33.409
more of them. Yeah. I was trying to think. Robin

01:18:33.409 --> 01:18:38.199
Crosby. Oh, yeah. He was amazing. And because

01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:40.439
he's been dead for quite a while now, he won't

01:18:40.439 --> 01:18:43.100
get the credit he deserves. And Rat kind of ran

01:18:43.100 --> 01:18:46.520
its course early. And it didn't really go on

01:18:46.520 --> 01:18:49.180
like it probably should have. And so that kind

01:18:49.180 --> 01:18:51.960
of bars his stuff too. But if you listen like

01:18:51.960 --> 01:18:54.960
round and round and lay it down and stuff like

01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:57.699
that, man, that guitar tone and his rhythm was

01:18:57.699 --> 01:19:00.939
just impeccable. Warren Demartini was great too,

01:19:01.020 --> 01:19:05.850
but Robin Crosby made those songs. And, of course,

01:19:05.869 --> 01:19:08.090
Malcolm Young. It started with Malcolm Young.

01:19:08.369 --> 01:19:12.529
Yeah, everything started with him. Izzy Stradlin.

01:19:13.069 --> 01:19:17.090
Yes. Izzy Stradlin is an unsung hero that will

01:19:17.090 --> 01:19:20.270
never get credit that he deserves because Guns

01:19:20.270 --> 01:19:22.829
N' Roses is like 30 deep on rhythm guitarists

01:19:22.829 --> 01:19:27.489
now. But Izzy had that dirty sound that made

01:19:27.489 --> 01:19:29.689
Appetite for Destruction maybe one of the best,

01:19:29.789 --> 01:19:32.369
probably one of the best albums, if not the best

01:19:32.369 --> 01:19:36.090
album ever made. I think an underappreciated

01:19:36.090 --> 01:19:43.010
pair in that band was Izzy Stradlin and Steven

01:19:43.010 --> 01:19:46.630
Adler on drums. Yes. Because when Steven Adler

01:19:46.630 --> 01:19:49.729
was replaced, their songwriting got really different.

01:19:49.829 --> 01:19:52.890
And when Izzy Stradlin left, their sound got

01:19:52.890 --> 01:19:55.590
different. Yes. And then that's when you get

01:19:55.590 --> 01:20:00.220
the songs like Coma. And stuff like that. The

01:20:00.220 --> 01:20:02.140
only one that's left over from my understanding

01:20:02.140 --> 01:20:05.060
is You Could Be Mine. But that sounded like something

01:20:05.060 --> 01:20:08.039
that could have been on. That song could have

01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:11.340
been on Appetite easily. It was probably written

01:20:11.340 --> 01:20:13.939
back then. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I

01:20:13.939 --> 01:20:16.920
believe it was written back then. And they're

01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:18.520
kind of like, well, we don't really have room

01:20:18.520 --> 01:20:20.739
for it. It doesn't really fit this. But we're

01:20:20.739 --> 01:20:23.960
doing a double album next time of new stuff.

01:20:24.439 --> 01:20:27.460
We'll put it on there. You'll agree with this

01:20:27.460 --> 01:20:31.840
one. Steve Clark. Yes. Oh, my God. Yes. Yes.

01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:34.520
Now, Vivian Campbell did great when he came in.

01:20:34.619 --> 01:20:38.739
Yeah. But that sound. Yeah. That sound that Steve

01:20:38.739 --> 01:20:42.000
Clark produced, he was not very precise. He was

01:20:42.000 --> 01:20:46.899
clunky as hell. But that offset with Phil Cullen

01:20:46.899 --> 01:20:51.020
so well because he's so precise. Yeah. Yeah,

01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:53.399
if both of them were that precise, it would just

01:20:53.399 --> 01:20:56.319
sound mechanical. Yes, and those two together.

01:20:56.920 --> 01:20:59.699
in tandem, made that Def Leppard sound that was

01:20:59.699 --> 01:21:03.180
so unique and good. You think James Hithfield

01:21:03.180 --> 01:21:07.500
should be up there? Yes. And also, also, Dave

01:21:07.500 --> 01:21:11.159
Mustaine. Yeah. Dave Mustaine probably even more.

01:21:12.680 --> 01:21:19.739
Yeah. But this is personal taste. To me, a lot

01:21:19.739 --> 01:21:22.800
of people are into this. After And Justice, which

01:21:22.800 --> 01:21:25.020
was a lot of leftover stuff from Cliff Burton.

01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:27.779
I don't think they sounded nearly as good as

01:21:27.779 --> 01:21:31.380
when they did their first four albums, from Kill

01:21:31.380 --> 01:21:35.560
Em All to And Justice. That signature sound and

01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:40.840
that heavy bass with the heavy rhythm was what

01:21:40.840 --> 01:21:42.699
made them Metallica Metallica. That's what got

01:21:42.699 --> 01:21:45.539
them attention, not the Alternica stuff in the

01:21:45.539 --> 01:21:49.159
90s. I don't appreciate that, and I never will,

01:21:49.319 --> 01:21:52.619
because they're not good at it. They did it to

01:21:52.619 --> 01:21:56.560
stay relevant. Yeah, yeah, it really smelled

01:21:56.560 --> 01:21:59.539
like something that, you know, we could be true

01:21:59.539 --> 01:22:01.840
to ourselves and not be big and famous, or we

01:22:01.840 --> 01:22:05.020
could chase the current trends and, you know,

01:22:05.020 --> 01:22:08.359
basically sell out to whatever fashion is current.

01:22:08.479 --> 01:22:12.260
It smelled like King Spirit. Yes, it did. So,

01:22:12.680 --> 01:22:16.279
yeah, I would say, to me, they must stay in a

01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:18.720
little bit more than James Halffield, but James

01:22:18.720 --> 01:22:21.850
Halffield's body of work. Those four albums were

01:22:21.850 --> 01:22:25.930
so good. Yeah. I mean, but I'm going to go with

01:22:25.930 --> 01:22:29.250
Mustaine a little bit over Hetfield, but both

01:22:29.250 --> 01:22:32.949
of them great. And either way can be argued so

01:22:32.949 --> 01:22:37.489
easily. Let's see. There's a lot more. Robin

01:22:37.489 --> 01:22:42.869
Trower. I liked a lot of his rhythms. Oh, Billy

01:22:42.869 --> 01:22:47.149
Gibbons. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Billy Gibbons is

01:22:47.149 --> 01:22:50.380
so unique. I don't even know. It's rhythm, but...

01:22:50.380 --> 01:22:55.659
Except during the solos, isn't the basses playing

01:22:55.659 --> 01:22:59.159
rhythm? Yeah, that's what I mean. A lot of the

01:22:59.159 --> 01:23:01.439
rhythm is played by basses, but if you want to

01:23:01.439 --> 01:23:03.920
go by the core of the song, yeah, I think Billy

01:23:03.920 --> 01:23:08.159
Gibbons is very unique. If I look back at the

01:23:08.159 --> 01:23:12.300
Cars first album, Rick Ocasek was playing some

01:23:12.300 --> 01:23:16.800
guitar, and they used keyboards. A little bit

01:23:16.800 --> 01:23:19.539
like a rhythm guitar. Their lead guitar, Elliot

01:23:19.539 --> 01:23:22.779
Easton, is amazing. I mean, he's another one

01:23:22.779 --> 01:23:25.159
of those guys who... He'll never get all that

01:23:25.159 --> 01:23:27.619
credit. Yeah, the band he was in never really

01:23:27.619 --> 01:23:29.840
used his full potential. It's like Steve Lukather.

01:23:29.979 --> 01:23:32.760
We talked about him last week. That guy was one

01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:34.420
of the best guitarists you ever heard, but you

01:23:34.420 --> 01:23:36.779
won't know it because... Oh, Brad Gillis. Brad

01:23:36.779 --> 01:23:38.859
Gillis. Only people knew about him because he

01:23:38.859 --> 01:23:41.779
joined Ozzy for a tour, the Speak of the Devil

01:23:41.779 --> 01:23:44.899
tour, or any finished up Diary of a Madman, actually.

01:23:47.080 --> 01:23:49.340
The album that came out with the minute was Speak

01:23:49.340 --> 01:23:52.680
of the Devil. It was a live album. And rumor

01:23:52.680 --> 01:23:56.220
has it they did it to preempt Live Evil, which

01:23:56.220 --> 01:24:00.260
featured Ronnie James Dio with Black Sabbath,

01:24:00.279 --> 01:24:02.520
which they'd already broken up at this point.

01:24:02.779 --> 01:24:05.699
But I think it was kind of like a pissing contest,

01:24:05.819 --> 01:24:08.000
from what I understand, where Ozzy and Sharon

01:24:08.000 --> 01:24:10.479
are like, oh, they put out a live album? Okay,

01:24:10.619 --> 01:24:15.970
let's put out this. And I think... I mean, to

01:24:15.970 --> 01:24:19.550
me, both albums are great, but Live Evil to me

01:24:19.550 --> 01:24:26.210
was epic. Just the clarity of the sound, and

01:24:26.210 --> 01:24:29.930
Dio's voice is so precise. That thing is a masterpiece.

01:24:30.350 --> 01:24:34.250
And besides that, it introduced me to the world,

01:24:34.329 --> 01:24:37.710
the underworld of occultism, even though it was

01:24:37.710 --> 01:24:41.989
probably a ruse, I would think, just to get...

01:24:42.869 --> 01:24:44.890
children like me to listen to it. Yes. Okay?

01:24:45.810 --> 01:24:48.649
But I remember my brother telling me, like, he

01:24:48.649 --> 01:24:50.970
was, like, getting scared at the concert that

01:24:50.970 --> 01:24:53.149
kept reading. He's like, I think I just joined

01:24:53.149 --> 01:24:57.489
a black mass. You know, and, you know, Dio comes

01:24:57.489 --> 01:25:00.130
out there during the middle of Heaven and Hell.

01:25:00.270 --> 01:25:02.090
Yeah. You know, he's like singing, they're going

01:25:02.090 --> 01:25:03.510
to do you in, they're going to do you in, they're

01:25:03.510 --> 01:25:05.670
going to do you in. Okay, so it's kind of like

01:25:05.670 --> 01:25:08.090
talking about religion each way. Yeah. But then

01:25:08.090 --> 01:25:09.930
he goes, then the little white shake looked down

01:25:09.930 --> 01:25:13.439
at me. He says, I'm where you ought to be. Come

01:25:13.439 --> 01:25:16.439
with me. I know just what to do. And then he

01:25:16.439 --> 01:25:18.119
screams and points to the audience. He goes,

01:25:18.220 --> 01:25:21.840
but I said, go away. I'm going to burn in hell

01:25:21.840 --> 01:25:24.659
with all of you. And then they pan to the audience

01:25:24.659 --> 01:25:27.359
and all these children are giving the devil horns.

01:25:27.420 --> 01:25:30.539
Yeah, yeah, we want to burn in hell. And my brother

01:25:30.539 --> 01:25:33.239
was just like, what the hell is going on here?

01:25:33.619 --> 01:25:36.039
He was like, I'm not doing that sign. I'm not

01:25:36.039 --> 01:25:39.050
saying, you know. Now you know exactly how Hitler

01:25:39.050 --> 01:25:41.789
whipped his crowds into a frenzy. The same tricks.

01:25:41.890 --> 01:25:44.489
Yes. You can get them to agree to anything if

01:25:44.489 --> 01:25:46.430
you whip them into a big enough frenzy. Yeah,

01:25:46.449 --> 01:25:49.630
and he did. Yeah. Because he was, what Dio did

01:25:49.630 --> 01:25:52.310
was he built it up for so long going, you know,

01:25:52.329 --> 01:25:56.850
I see the light and, you know, it's left me blind

01:25:56.850 --> 01:25:58.689
and all this stuff. You know, it's talking about

01:25:58.689 --> 01:26:01.189
religion in general. And it's like kings and

01:26:01.189 --> 01:26:03.810
queens and wind your eyes and steal your dreams.

01:26:03.850 --> 01:26:06.109
It's heaven and hell. Yeah. He is talking about

01:26:06.109 --> 01:26:09.170
the world. But then when he goes into that, that

01:26:09.170 --> 01:26:12.510
occultism stuff, I think he might have been somewhat

01:26:12.510 --> 01:26:15.710
of a druid guy, but probably not an outright

01:26:15.710 --> 01:26:18.829
devil worshiper per se. But that was put in there

01:26:18.829 --> 01:26:21.449
for effect. Yeah, it was still very important

01:26:21.449 --> 01:26:23.310
for the music to be something that pissed off

01:26:23.310 --> 01:26:26.409
your parents. Yes, and when parents seen that,

01:26:26.550 --> 01:26:29.289
first thing they did was tear it in half. Yep,

01:26:29.310 --> 01:26:31.090
so you had to go buy another one. Yeah, you had

01:26:31.090 --> 01:26:35.329
to go buy another one. And Dio... me went on

01:26:35.329 --> 01:26:37.350
with that occultism stuff a little bit too long.

01:26:38.569 --> 01:26:40.890
I think it kind of played its course and he should

01:26:40.890 --> 01:26:44.229
have moved on. He did very well with it but I

01:26:44.229 --> 01:26:48.329
think after Dream Evil he started doing the medieval

01:26:48.329 --> 01:26:50.289
stuff still and I think it really hampered his

01:26:50.289 --> 01:26:52.550
career because people didn't care. Yeah. Yeah

01:26:52.550 --> 01:26:54.069
they're like I don't want to hear about you know

01:26:54.069 --> 01:26:57.430
druids and all that so go join Blackboard's Night

01:26:57.430 --> 01:26:59.350
even though you guys hate each other. Yeah. All

01:26:59.350 --> 01:27:05.399
right anyhow rhythm guitars. You're kind of running

01:27:05.399 --> 01:27:07.140
out. I'll have to come up with some more for

01:27:07.140 --> 01:27:10.260
next time. Okay. That's it. How about, oh, you

01:27:10.260 --> 01:27:12.359
got something? I just got a couple of car stories.

01:27:12.560 --> 01:27:15.319
Okay. All right. Songs that make you stay in

01:27:15.319 --> 01:27:17.699
the car until it's over. There we go. Good segue.

01:27:18.699 --> 01:27:21.699
My first one. Most of Meatloaf's Bad Outta Hell

01:27:21.699 --> 01:27:25.100
album. Yeah. Yeah. Especially Paradise by the

01:27:25.100 --> 01:27:27.979
Gasport Lights and Two Outta Three Ain't Wrong.

01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:30.939
Yeah. Those two songs in particular, you cannot

01:27:30.939 --> 01:27:34.390
hang up on. No. They're out there. And then you're

01:27:34.390 --> 01:27:36.189
waiting for the chick to come in. Do you love

01:27:36.189 --> 01:27:38.710
me forever? Will you love me? And all that stuff.

01:27:39.029 --> 01:27:42.109
And he's like, ah, ah, ah. Let me sleep on it,

01:27:42.189 --> 01:27:44.250
baby. I mean, it's just perfect. It's a perfect

01:27:44.250 --> 01:27:49.350
song. Jim Steinman, genius. Todd Rundon produced

01:27:49.350 --> 01:27:51.869
that album. Oh, yeah. Yeah, go ahead. He played

01:27:51.869 --> 01:27:54.489
guitar on it. And he said in a recent interview

01:27:54.489 --> 01:27:58.029
that Bruce Springsteen had just recently come

01:27:58.029 --> 01:28:02.439
out with... his Born to Run album, and Rundgren

01:28:02.439 --> 01:28:05.180
thought that it was just really kind of corny

01:28:05.180 --> 01:28:08.100
and over the top, the way this album was produced.

01:28:08.140 --> 01:28:10.300
So he said, I'm going to produce Bad Outta Hell

01:28:10.300 --> 01:28:16.180
as a joke on Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run.

01:28:16.239 --> 01:28:18.260
I'm going to make it sound like his album and

01:28:18.260 --> 01:28:20.739
show everyone how easy it is to get that sound.

01:28:21.100 --> 01:28:23.720
So when you listen to the two, there is a lot

01:28:23.720 --> 01:28:25.720
of similarity in the production and the way it's

01:28:25.720 --> 01:28:28.039
all put together. Phil Spector recruited me.

01:28:28.119 --> 01:28:30.039
produce Born to Run. He loves that wall of sound.

01:28:30.300 --> 01:28:32.979
It's kind of like what we're talking about about

01:28:32.979 --> 01:28:39.859
Ace Frehley's Shock Me Solo and Eddie Van Halen's

01:28:39.859 --> 01:28:44.020
Eruption. The signatures and the time and the

01:28:44.020 --> 01:28:48.079
flow and the make of the song, the bridges, all

01:28:48.079 --> 01:28:52.020
that. I can kind of see that. It was kind of

01:28:52.020 --> 01:28:56.829
the attitude of he saw someone come out and juggle

01:28:56.829 --> 01:29:00.050
three balls and get all sorts of applause for

01:29:00.050 --> 01:29:02.189
it. So he went out and juggled five. Five balls,

01:29:02.369 --> 01:29:05.689
yeah. And then, like I said, Jim Steinman, you

01:29:05.689 --> 01:29:07.850
could never get this type of an album without

01:29:07.850 --> 01:29:11.229
a show guy like Steinman. Yeah. Very eccentric.

01:29:11.250 --> 01:29:13.930
He used to wear those big gloves for no reason

01:29:13.930 --> 01:29:17.850
and just weird outfits and very flamboyant. He's

01:29:17.850 --> 01:29:21.449
very much into appearance. Yes, very much. Odd.

01:29:22.189 --> 01:29:27.350
Very odd guy. Yeah. But... very talented in the

01:29:27.350 --> 01:29:31.350
evening led zeppelin i think that is a song i

01:29:31.350 --> 01:29:37.750
can't put down yeah i mean from the very start

01:29:37.750 --> 01:29:41.470
where uh where the guitar just like it's building

01:29:41.470 --> 01:29:44.130
up and you hear the background noises and then

01:29:44.130 --> 01:29:47.310
he just comes in sloppy as hell with that a rhythm

01:29:47.310 --> 01:29:49.930
that makes a whole song and then in the middle

01:29:49.930 --> 01:29:52.869
one of my favorite solos ever It sounds like

01:29:52.869 --> 01:29:54.609
he took the guitar and threw it against the amp.

01:29:54.689 --> 01:29:58.170
Yeah, yeah. It's, I don't know, he was probably

01:29:58.170 --> 01:29:59.930
just like hammering it with his fist or something.

01:30:00.109 --> 01:30:01.550
I think so, yeah. But the way it comes in is

01:30:01.550 --> 01:30:03.949
really interesting and unique. And I think he

01:30:03.949 --> 01:30:06.329
might have done that by accident and everyone

01:30:06.329 --> 01:30:08.409
looked at each other and said, that's it. Yeah,

01:30:08.449 --> 01:30:10.489
we're keeping that tape. Yeah, that happens all

01:30:10.489 --> 01:30:13.390
the time. Jimi Hendrix was on acid and he kept

01:30:13.390 --> 01:30:17.630
playing Purple Haze as a story. And they kept

01:30:17.630 --> 01:30:21.760
asking, play what you played last night. I didn't

01:30:21.760 --> 01:30:25.520
play last night. You did. We were all here. So

01:30:25.520 --> 01:30:27.880
finally they recorded it. He played it back.

01:30:27.899 --> 01:30:30.699
He goes, I played that? Yeah. All right. Well,

01:30:30.720 --> 01:30:32.899
let me. Yeah, yeah. Let me figure out how he

01:30:32.899 --> 01:30:39.699
did that. Yeah, and he did. Okay. Most of Blizzard

01:30:39.699 --> 01:30:42.659
of Oz except Crazy Train. I'm sorry. I can do

01:30:42.659 --> 01:30:44.979
without that song. I love it. It's a great song,

01:30:45.140 --> 01:30:47.500
but too much. Yeah, a little tired of it. Yeah,

01:30:47.539 --> 01:30:50.880
that's rock radio's go -to, especially now. Yeah.

01:30:51.039 --> 01:30:53.279
The sentimental, oh, it's Ozzy. Come on, everyone,

01:30:53.340 --> 01:30:58.579
come around here. This is Ozzy's song. Even though

01:30:58.579 --> 01:31:01.659
they didn't like him before that. Play the overplayed

01:31:01.659 --> 01:31:05.260
one. Yes. Diary of a Madman, all of that album,

01:31:05.420 --> 01:31:10.060
none of it's overplayed. Especially Diary of

01:31:10.060 --> 01:31:14.500
a Madman. That song is a masterpiece. It's another

01:31:14.500 --> 01:31:18.130
composition that's written such as... Where you

01:31:18.130 --> 01:31:20.029
have all these pieces coming together and then

01:31:20.029 --> 01:31:23.510
a climax is immaculate. And that would be the

01:31:23.510 --> 01:31:28.010
guitar, rhythm, the rhythm break, the bridge,

01:31:28.229 --> 01:31:32.369
the edge, whatever you call it. The guitar that

01:31:32.369 --> 01:31:34.470
he does at the end of that made the whole song.

01:31:34.630 --> 01:31:36.649
Because that's where the song was headed the

01:31:36.649 --> 01:31:39.750
whole time. And I'm so glad that, remember when

01:31:39.750 --> 01:31:42.229
radio stations for the radio version would just

01:31:42.229 --> 01:31:45.189
ax the last guitar solo and have a repeat chorus

01:31:45.189 --> 01:31:48.699
again? Oh, that pissed me off. People missed

01:31:48.699 --> 01:31:51.619
out on so many amazing guitar solos that were

01:31:51.619 --> 01:31:54.819
intended to close out the song because radio

01:31:54.819 --> 01:31:57.079
programmers thought, well, nobody wants to hear

01:31:57.079 --> 01:31:58.600
a guitar solo. They want to hear those people

01:31:58.600 --> 01:32:00.840
singing so they can sing along. Oh, yeah, well,

01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:03.100
John Sykes, right? Great guitarist, played for

01:32:03.100 --> 01:32:06.739
Whitesnake several times. Here I go again. Yeah.

01:32:07.079 --> 01:32:10.880
The radio play of that on a pop station is horrible.

01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:16.810
It is. Because they do... Not even a guitar in

01:32:16.810 --> 01:32:18.329
the middle. I don't even know what you call it.

01:32:18.569 --> 01:32:19.850
It's mostly just chorus over and over and over.

01:32:19.930 --> 01:32:23.550
Yeah, it's horrible. That guitar, that solo is

01:32:23.550 --> 01:32:26.430
a masterpiece. John Sykes is so good. He'd never

01:32:26.430 --> 01:32:30.170
get the credit he deserves. I mean, Slide It

01:32:30.170 --> 01:32:32.869
In and then the Whitesnake, Whitesnake album.

01:32:33.029 --> 01:32:36.689
He wrote a lot of those songs. Yeah, he has a

01:32:36.689 --> 01:32:39.770
signature all over both of them. And they ruin

01:32:39.770 --> 01:32:43.329
that, here I go again, not only by airplay constantly,

01:32:43.550 --> 01:32:46.489
but by taking out that solo. I've even heard

01:32:46.489 --> 01:32:49.970
songs that end with a solo and have an actual

01:32:49.970 --> 01:32:52.850
ending. And instead they'll chop the solo off

01:32:52.850 --> 01:32:55.130
and do a repeat and fade on the chorus. Yeah,

01:32:55.149 --> 01:32:58.010
that pisses me off too. And also you can tell

01:32:58.010 --> 01:33:00.170
if you know music at all, it's like, wait a minute.

01:33:00.369 --> 01:33:03.189
No, no, no, no, that did not go like that. That's

01:33:03.189 --> 01:33:06.239
what you guys did. Yeah, the 10cc song, I'm Not

01:33:06.239 --> 01:33:09.020
In Love, they chopped the hell out of that for

01:33:09.020 --> 01:33:11.579
radio. And it just sounds awful. It's not the

01:33:11.579 --> 01:33:13.579
same. No, I mean the actual song is probably

01:33:13.579 --> 01:33:15.380
about five and a half, six minutes long. They

01:33:15.380 --> 01:33:17.439
chopped it down to about three, three and a half.

01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:19.760
Yeah, three and a half maybe. Yeah. Yeah, they

01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:24.539
ruined it. Deep Purple, Burn, and Highway Star.

01:33:24.899 --> 01:33:28.539
Yeah. Those two songs to me, I couldn't put down

01:33:28.539 --> 01:33:31.819
if I'm in the car at all. Are you writing down

01:33:31.819 --> 01:33:34.890
some? Uh -huh. Okay. Do you want to go into a

01:33:34.890 --> 01:33:36.590
couple of yours, and I'll go back with some more

01:33:36.590 --> 01:33:40.750
of mine? Dreams I'll Never See, Molly Hatchet.

01:33:40.989 --> 01:33:43.970
Oh, yeah. It's an Allman Brothers song, and the

01:33:43.970 --> 01:33:46.010
Allman Brothers version is actually really, really

01:33:46.010 --> 01:33:48.390
good. It is, but I like Molly Hatchet's... Yeah,

01:33:48.390 --> 01:33:51.029
because the solos go on and on and on and on,

01:33:51.090 --> 01:33:53.149
and then it comes back to the verse. Yeah, but

01:33:53.149 --> 01:33:56.029
the only thing is, you said it wrong. Molly fucking

01:33:56.029 --> 01:33:58.670
Hatchet. Molly fucking Hatchet. Yes. There we

01:33:58.670 --> 01:34:02.659
go. And then Whipping Post. By the Allman Brothers.

01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:06.600
Oh, yeah. That's got such a funky time signature,

01:34:06.680 --> 01:34:08.460
and it just builds and builds and builds and

01:34:08.460 --> 01:34:10.380
builds. It is an odd song, but yeah, it's great.

01:34:10.380 --> 01:34:12.300
And then it's got a slow, you know, screaming

01:34:12.300 --> 01:34:17.560
ending. Sometimes I feel. You've got to hear

01:34:17.560 --> 01:34:20.539
the ending to make it all work. Yes, and if that

01:34:20.539 --> 01:34:22.420
was rock radio and they took that out, it would

01:34:22.420 --> 01:34:24.979
ruin the song. Yeah. Yeah, no, I agree. That's

01:34:24.979 --> 01:34:28.300
some amazing work. Yeah. I could listen to Whipping

01:34:28.300 --> 01:34:32.770
Post every day. Yeah. No More Mr. Nice Guy by

01:34:32.770 --> 01:34:36.210
Alice Cooper. Yeah. It's one of those songs I

01:34:36.210 --> 01:34:38.329
just want to hear it conclude and hear it end.

01:34:38.609 --> 01:34:40.430
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And you want to hear Reverend

01:34:40.430 --> 01:34:43.250
Sidney recognize me, punch me, and all that stuff,

01:34:43.390 --> 01:34:45.710
you know, because it's so classic. It is. It

01:34:45.710 --> 01:34:49.930
is. Pink Floyd. Just about any Pink Floyd. Yeah.

01:34:49.949 --> 01:34:52.430
Which is a difficult one because so many of their

01:34:52.430 --> 01:34:56.369
songs are so long. Oh. But you start a Pink Floyd

01:34:56.369 --> 01:34:59.579
song and it's like, I feel like I'm... being

01:34:59.579 --> 01:35:02.319
rude if I turned it off before it's over. Yeah,

01:35:02.399 --> 01:35:05.739
as much as a dick as they both are, and I'm talking

01:35:05.739 --> 01:35:08.420
about the two main members now and have been

01:35:08.420 --> 01:35:12.520
for a long time, Gilmore and Waters. Boy, they

01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:14.420
wrote some stuff. They wrote some good stuff.

01:35:14.420 --> 01:35:16.899
They really did. Imagine turning off Wish You

01:35:16.899 --> 01:35:19.720
Were Here. It's impossible. I can't do it. My

01:35:19.720 --> 01:35:23.279
fingers can't do that. No. It's like, no, I can't

01:35:23.279 --> 01:35:26.840
go there. I can't get near it. It's got to end.

01:35:28.210 --> 01:35:32.630
Space Lord by Monster Band. Another band that

01:35:32.630 --> 01:35:34.449
will never get the credit they deserve. They

01:35:34.449 --> 01:35:37.510
are so good. There's a lot of Monster Magnet

01:35:37.510 --> 01:35:41.350
songs. God Says No. I listened to that one all

01:35:41.350 --> 01:35:45.569
the way through. Melt is another good one. Heads

01:35:45.569 --> 01:35:48.069
Explode because at the very end he holds a note

01:35:48.069 --> 01:35:51.550
for an impossibly long amount of time. Listen

01:35:51.550 --> 01:35:53.970
to it closely. You can hear it's overdubs of

01:35:53.970 --> 01:35:56.590
him doing it over and over and over. But at one

01:35:56.590 --> 01:35:58.609
point, I got to the point where I could hold

01:35:58.609 --> 01:36:01.470
that note for the full amount of time he was

01:36:01.470 --> 01:36:03.630
doing it. I was like, wow. Oh, that's cool. That

01:36:03.630 --> 01:36:06.750
takes lung power. Yeah. But I've smoked way too

01:36:06.750 --> 01:36:08.729
many joints since then, and my lungs are not

01:36:08.729 --> 01:36:12.850
that capable anymore. Did you stretch them thin?

01:36:13.130 --> 01:36:19.689
Yeah, I think I did. Okay. Go ahead. I could

01:36:19.689 --> 01:36:22.170
go on about much more Monster Magnet songs. There's

01:36:22.170 --> 01:36:24.829
some Elton John songs. that are just so beautifully

01:36:24.829 --> 01:36:26.569
written i want to hear the whole thing don't

01:36:26.569 --> 01:36:29.510
let the sun go down on me oh yeah you gotta i

01:36:29.510 --> 01:36:33.869
gotta listen to the whole thing there um leave

01:36:33.869 --> 01:36:36.210
on and tiny dancer i want to hear the whole song

01:36:36.210 --> 01:36:38.710
before i turn it off i've not promoted this in

01:36:38.710 --> 01:36:44.569
a while so maybe i need to hold up my empty coffee

01:36:44.569 --> 01:36:57.960
cup there we go All right. There we go. All right.

01:36:58.479 --> 01:37:04.720
Got to promote it. All right. That's about all

01:37:04.720 --> 01:37:07.739
I'm thinking on. Okay. As long as you stay there.

01:37:07.819 --> 01:37:10.260
Maybe Slow Ride, Foghat. But I've heard that

01:37:10.260 --> 01:37:13.460
so many times that I could skip it now. The rhythm

01:37:13.460 --> 01:37:15.779
at first. I could turn it off at the end, but

01:37:15.779 --> 01:37:18.819
that rhythm at first. I mean, that thing is just,

01:37:18.899 --> 01:37:22.279
that tone is just irresistible. Yeah. Great stuff.

01:37:22.500 --> 01:37:29.439
Yeah. I've got Dio, Holy Diver. Yeah. To me,

01:37:29.460 --> 01:37:31.439
that song's so powerful and intense, you can't

01:37:31.439 --> 01:37:33.319
just, like, leave. Yeah. You know, it's like

01:37:33.319 --> 01:37:35.140
you, I don't know, it's like you didn't wipe

01:37:35.140 --> 01:37:40.380
after you took a dump. It's like, I can't leave.

01:37:41.319 --> 01:37:44.460
I don't think so. There's also some that you

01:37:44.460 --> 01:37:46.760
would think you'd want to stay and listen, but

01:37:46.760 --> 01:37:48.119
I'd just go ahead and turn them off, like Hey

01:37:48.119 --> 01:37:52.310
Jude. Yes, yeah. That was cool the first 10 or

01:37:52.310 --> 01:37:54.189
12 times I heard the song, but now it's just

01:37:54.189 --> 01:37:57.010
endless repetition and I'm kind of done. Actually,

01:37:57.010 --> 01:38:00.430
the song, after I listened to it several million

01:38:00.430 --> 01:38:04.149
times, I decided it's not that good. No, not

01:38:04.149 --> 01:38:07.250
really. It was an ass kiss song anyhow. They

01:38:07.250 --> 01:38:09.970
weren't getting along that well. It's about John

01:38:09.970 --> 01:38:14.470
Lennon's kid. Yep. Yep. All right, let's see.

01:38:14.510 --> 01:38:19.739
The next one I have is Cream Badge. Yeah. Like,

01:38:19.739 --> 01:38:24.039
we don't need no stinking badges. Yeah. I always

01:38:24.039 --> 01:38:29.920
thought that that song was unique. I mean, everything.

01:38:31.260 --> 01:38:32.899
Supposedly it was supposed to be, it wasn't supposed

01:38:32.899 --> 01:38:34.840
to be called badge. It was a word that was similar

01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:37.340
to that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I went into that last

01:38:37.340 --> 01:38:39.380
one or the one before it was supposed to be called,

01:38:39.439 --> 01:38:42.880
what was it supposed to be called? But Harrison

01:38:42.880 --> 01:38:46.460
was such a horrible writer. penmanship yeah that

01:38:46.460 --> 01:38:48.460
he thought it was bridge it was supposed to be

01:38:48.460 --> 01:38:50.899
bridge it came it looked like badge yeah yeah

01:38:50.899 --> 01:38:55.859
okay uh leila yeah you gotta listen through the

01:38:55.859 --> 01:39:00.119
whole ending piano and guitar thing yes yep i

01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:02.779
agree yeah my ex -wife used to hate that which

01:39:02.779 --> 01:39:04.880
is you know why i would turn it up extra loud

01:39:04.880 --> 01:39:09.460
oh absolutely absolutely my ex -wife hated a

01:39:09.460 --> 01:39:14.659
lot of things Well, you know what like I always

01:39:14.659 --> 01:39:16.720
talk about my ex -wife the feeling was quite

01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:22.619
mutual Yeah, yep, yep, yep, you know the first

01:39:22.619 --> 01:39:30.159
trial one glad is over yeah, yeah Let's see now,

01:39:30.340 --> 01:39:32.079
all right, it's gonna be short and sweet and

01:39:32.079 --> 01:39:33.680
I'll tag you a little bit later that way your

01:39:33.680 --> 01:39:38.239
people get it, too All right dire straits money

01:39:38.239 --> 01:39:41.039
for nothing Yeah, you kind of kind of listen

01:39:41.039 --> 01:39:43.359
to that Yeah, although I think I could turn it

01:39:43.359 --> 01:39:45.779
off now, but there's a good point in time where

01:39:45.779 --> 01:39:47.100
it's like, oh, I've got to keep hearing this

01:39:47.100 --> 01:39:49.539
guitar. Oh, you got one. I saw the look on your

01:39:49.539 --> 01:39:53.380
face. Yeah. Jethro Tull, Locomotive Breath. Oh,

01:39:53.420 --> 01:39:56.340
yeah. You've got to listen to the ending. You've

01:39:56.340 --> 01:39:57.979
got to listen all the way through, even though

01:39:57.979 --> 01:40:00.520
it's a repeat and fade. It's still, yeah. It's

01:40:00.520 --> 01:40:02.800
still really, really, yeah. I'd put Aqualung

01:40:02.800 --> 01:40:04.579
and Cross -Eyed Mary up there, too. I would,

01:40:04.600 --> 01:40:07.760
too. Cross -Eyed Mary was the first Jethro Tull

01:40:07.760 --> 01:40:10.020
song I heard that I actually knew was Jethro

01:40:10.020 --> 01:40:13.279
Tull. And I had never heard it on the radio as

01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:18.220
I found this tape that had it on it. Remember

01:40:18.220 --> 01:40:20.899
that old electronics store, Burstein Appleby?

01:40:21.779 --> 01:40:24.619
Yeah. They were probably fading by the time you

01:40:24.619 --> 01:40:29.020
were... No, I don't remember them in the moment,

01:40:29.079 --> 01:40:31.140
but I know what you're talking about. There was

01:40:31.140 --> 01:40:33.699
one on the way home from walking home from school,

01:40:33.800 --> 01:40:38.079
and I would go dumpster dive. for old reel -to

01:40:38.079 --> 01:40:39.859
-reel tapes, the 7 -inch reel -to -reel tapes,

01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:42.640
vacuum tubes, just all sorts of electronic stuff

01:40:42.640 --> 01:40:47.420
they'd toss out. And I got a tape that had Cross

01:40:47.420 --> 01:40:49.939
-Eyed Mary on it, and I kept playing it over

01:40:49.939 --> 01:40:51.800
and over, and I was like, who the hell is this?

01:40:52.000 --> 01:40:54.079
And then I figured out it was Jethro Tull. I

01:40:54.079 --> 01:40:57.460
wrote down all the words because they're so interesting.

01:40:58.340 --> 01:41:00.619
That's when I'll always listen to the whole thing.

01:41:00.899 --> 01:41:05.109
Yeah, I would agree. Locomotion breath. I mean,

01:41:05.130 --> 01:41:08.789
that song is so snotty. Yes. And, you know, snot

01:41:08.789 --> 01:41:11.729
is running down his nose. That's Aqualung. That's

01:41:11.729 --> 01:41:14.149
Aqualung, sorry. I'm not running down his nose.

01:41:14.369 --> 01:41:16.449
That's a great song. Yeah. Locomotive breath

01:41:16.449 --> 01:41:19.130
is the dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:19.130 --> 01:41:21.869
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:21.869 --> 01:41:22.670
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:22.670 --> 01:41:23.369
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:23.369 --> 01:41:23.930
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:23.930 --> 01:41:32.590
-dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun -dun

01:41:32.300 --> 01:41:36.159
Yeah, yeah. I admit, when I listen to Duran Duran,

01:41:36.279 --> 01:41:38.579
I listen to the bass player. Me too. Because

01:41:38.579 --> 01:41:42.340
he was such a phenomenal freak on the bass. Oh,

01:41:42.340 --> 01:41:45.119
I know. Just unbelievable. You look at him and

01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:48.380
you think, how does someone that young have that

01:41:48.380 --> 01:41:50.720
much skill at this point in his life? Oh, I agree.

01:41:51.100 --> 01:41:54.340
He was just... Another thing that I really liked

01:41:54.340 --> 01:41:56.420
about their music, Duran Duran, is you could

01:41:56.420 --> 01:41:58.939
hear their accent in their singing. Yeah. They're

01:41:58.939 --> 01:42:00.779
one of the few bands that you can do that. They

01:42:00.779 --> 01:42:03.680
didn't try to sound American. No, no. I mean,

01:42:03.699 --> 01:42:05.779
you know, Ozzy, obviously, you know, really,

01:42:05.899 --> 01:42:09.920
really big accent from England. Yeah. Elton John

01:42:09.920 --> 01:42:11.920
always tried to sound very bland and neutral.

01:42:12.100 --> 01:42:15.619
Yeah, he did pretty good. Yeah. Especially later

01:42:15.619 --> 01:42:18.180
on. Bon Scott, you could tell he was Australian.

01:42:18.260 --> 01:42:22.899
Oh, shit. Yeah. Yeah, oh, yeah. He said stuff

01:42:22.899 --> 01:42:25.449
you didn't understand. She's got it. The Jack.

01:42:25.590 --> 01:42:30.229
Dun, dun, dun, dun. She's got the Jack. And Walking

01:42:30.229 --> 01:42:32.729
Sideways. Walking Sideways, another go at you.

01:42:32.909 --> 01:42:36.649
Whole Lotta Rosie. Oh, yes. I want to learn that

01:42:36.649 --> 01:42:38.550
song. I mean, it's rude, but I want to learn

01:42:38.550 --> 01:42:41.609
it. Watch Axl Rose perform that. Oh, yeah. I

01:42:41.609 --> 01:42:43.770
haven't seen that yet. I want to see that. I'm

01:42:43.770 --> 01:42:45.609
telling you, I wished he would have stayed in

01:42:45.609 --> 01:42:49.479
the band. Brian Johnson, I'm not a huge fan of

01:42:49.479 --> 01:42:51.319
him right now. I don't like the way he sings

01:42:51.319 --> 01:42:53.579
at all. I think he ruined his voice. Yeah, yeah.

01:42:53.640 --> 01:42:57.439
He definitely doesn't have the same vocal quality

01:42:57.439 --> 01:42:59.539
he had on Back in Black. He's kind of like Vince

01:42:59.539 --> 01:43:02.699
Neil. He can't really do that same replica of

01:43:02.699 --> 01:43:05.399
what they used to do. And it just doesn't sound

01:43:05.399 --> 01:43:08.279
right to me. It's boring. I've noticed Chris

01:43:08.279 --> 01:43:10.279
Isaac doesn't sound the way he used to either.

01:43:10.500 --> 01:43:12.399
I haven't heard him recently, but I can believe

01:43:12.399 --> 01:43:15.279
that. A couple years ago... Cindy and I went

01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:18.640
to his Christmas concert at the Uptown, and he

01:43:18.640 --> 01:43:21.199
was not hitting some of the high falsetto notes

01:43:21.199 --> 01:43:23.380
that he used to. He hit some of them, but there's

01:43:23.380 --> 01:43:25.340
others he skipped. And I was wondering, he's

01:43:25.340 --> 01:43:27.279
like, maybe he can only do that a few times a

01:43:27.279 --> 01:43:30.779
night. It's kind of like Ian Gillen. Yeah. I

01:43:30.779 --> 01:43:33.899
mean, at St. Louis, it wasn't as bad. Yeah. He

01:43:33.899 --> 01:43:35.840
still could hit some of the high notes, but Highway

01:43:35.840 --> 01:43:39.859
Star, he didn't even try. Yeah. When they played

01:43:39.859 --> 01:43:42.239
at the Uptown Theater, it was even worse. He

01:43:42.239 --> 01:43:45.779
was a few years older. And a lot of the signature

01:43:45.779 --> 01:43:49.180
songs they couldn't play, so they had to stretch

01:43:49.180 --> 01:43:52.239
out other signature songs. Yeah, I can get that.

01:43:52.439 --> 01:43:57.020
Yeah, but same thing. All right, next one I have

01:43:57.020 --> 01:44:00.659
is The Cult, Sweet Soul Sister, and Little Devil.

01:44:02.880 --> 01:44:06.680
I'd put Fire Woman up there, too. I have to listen

01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:08.439
to the end of Fire Woman. Yeah, okay, that is

01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:11.199
another one. Actually, there's several ones.

01:44:11.300 --> 01:44:13.979
I can't think of the other song. Yes, that's

01:44:13.979 --> 01:44:17.539
another one. Edie is another one. Interesting

01:44:17.539 --> 01:44:21.220
guitar on there. Billy Duffy is amazing. Really

01:44:21.220 --> 01:44:28.720
interesting tone. Yes, very. Let's see. Prince,

01:44:29.039 --> 01:44:33.000
When Doves Cry, and Purple Rain. You've got to

01:44:33.000 --> 01:44:34.899
listen to the end of Purple Rain for the guitar.

01:44:35.220 --> 01:44:40.859
Yes, that thing. I mean, that broke them onto

01:44:40.859 --> 01:44:42.880
a lot of rock and roll stations. It did. It's

01:44:42.880 --> 01:44:46.100
like, oh, my God, this guy can play. Yeah. We've

01:44:46.100 --> 01:44:47.899
got to get this on the air, you know. It's like

01:44:47.899 --> 01:44:50.699
this first part kind of fits some other format,

01:44:50.819 --> 01:44:53.359
but the second part fits ours. All the rockers

01:44:53.359 --> 01:44:54.939
were like, you've got to stay. Yeah. You've got

01:44:54.939 --> 01:44:58.359
to listen to this. Yeah. I mean, even Michael

01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:01.899
Jackson's beat it. Because Eddie Van Halen played

01:45:01.899 --> 01:45:04.640
the solo in it, rockers were like, I'll listen

01:45:04.640 --> 01:45:06.600
to Michael Jackson because I want to hear Eddie.

01:45:07.140 --> 01:45:10.649
Yes. Yep. I got one, speaking of Michael Jackson,

01:45:10.689 --> 01:45:14.369
my very next one, Dirty Diana. I'm not familiar

01:45:14.369 --> 01:45:19.329
with that one. Steve Stevens. Oh, yeah. Yeah,

01:45:19.569 --> 01:45:21.750
Billy Idol's guitar player. Yeah, he does interesting

01:45:21.750 --> 01:45:25.210
rhythms all the way through that, which makes

01:45:25.210 --> 01:45:28.810
the song very tolerable. Yeah. But if you're

01:45:28.810 --> 01:45:31.149
like me, which you are, you're going to be listening

01:45:31.149 --> 01:45:34.289
to that rhythm going, ooh, that is nice. Yeah.

01:45:34.390 --> 01:45:39.180
And it's a rocking song. It's not a, like Beat

01:45:39.180 --> 01:45:42.100
It was not a rocking song, but the solo was.

01:45:42.279 --> 01:45:46.159
Yeah. So. All right. Yeah, that's true. The Go

01:45:46.159 --> 01:45:51.039
-Go's. Our Lips Are Sealed. Yeah. Simple song,

01:45:51.220 --> 01:45:53.939
but really a foot tapper. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yep.

01:45:54.260 --> 01:45:56.899
Walk Like an Egyptian, The Bangles. Oh, that's

01:45:56.899 --> 01:45:59.720
another good one. Yeah. Written by Prince. Yeah,

01:45:59.720 --> 01:46:02.300
it was, wasn't it? No, Manic Monday was written

01:46:02.300 --> 01:46:05.859
by Prince. No, it was Manic Monday. Foreigner.

01:46:06.319 --> 01:46:10.739
Urgent. Yeah, yeah. That's got a great saxophone

01:46:10.739 --> 01:46:14.319
solo in it. Yeah. They made saxophone cool again

01:46:14.319 --> 01:46:18.199
after Meatloaf made it cool in Rocky Horror.

01:46:18.439 --> 01:46:22.399
Yes. Here's a really long one from a long time

01:46:22.399 --> 01:46:26.699
ago. It's Low Spark of High Heeled Boys by Traffic.

01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:31.460
It's got multiple saxophone solos in there that

01:46:31.460 --> 01:46:34.010
are just... I don't think I'm... I'm not familiar

01:46:34.010 --> 01:46:39.270
with that. It's a slow, kind of slightly jazzy

01:46:39.270 --> 01:46:41.489
piece. It's by Traffic? Traffic. Steve Woodward.

01:46:41.770 --> 01:46:47.810
And it's saxophone, bass, drums, and piano. I'm

01:46:47.810 --> 01:46:49.649
going to have to check that out. It's amazing.

01:46:49.770 --> 01:46:53.550
And they're at least two long saxophone solos

01:46:53.550 --> 01:46:56.890
where they do unusual and inhumane things to

01:46:56.890 --> 01:46:59.050
the saxophone to get it to sound that way. I

01:46:59.050 --> 01:47:00.649
don't think I've ever heard that. Oh, my God.

01:47:01.239 --> 01:47:06.359
It ends on a long saxophone solo. You've got

01:47:06.359 --> 01:47:08.180
to listen to the full version. Make sure you

01:47:08.180 --> 01:47:09.979
get the long, full version and it's not edited

01:47:09.979 --> 01:47:13.220
down. You're not really sure what the song is

01:47:13.220 --> 01:47:17.039
about, but you can understand all the words,

01:47:17.079 --> 01:47:18.600
but you really don't know what they quite mean.

01:47:20.060 --> 01:47:24.279
But if you like saxophone, and it's not a fast,

01:47:24.279 --> 01:47:28.079
upbeat song, it's real smooth and relaxed and

01:47:28.079 --> 01:47:30.140
mellow, and then the sax comes on and it just

01:47:30.140 --> 01:47:33.350
fires you up. It's awesome. Okay. And then finally,

01:47:33.470 --> 01:47:37.989
my last one is Van Halen DOA. Yes. That rhythm.

01:47:39.149 --> 01:47:44.050
Very cool. Very cool. That's all I have. You

01:47:44.050 --> 01:47:49.210
have something else? Recently, Lamborghini wanted

01:47:49.210 --> 01:47:53.649
to buy the rights to a domain, Lambo .com. But

01:47:53.649 --> 01:47:56.449
somebody else had already registered that. Somebody

01:47:56.449 --> 01:48:00.510
back in the 80s. Not 80s. Back in the 90s. registered

01:48:00.510 --> 01:48:02.869
that with the intention of selling it to Lamborghini

01:48:02.869 --> 01:48:05.710
one day. And Lamborghini has been calling this

01:48:05.710 --> 01:48:07.449
dude saying, hey, will you sell us that domain?

01:48:08.050 --> 01:48:14.729
His most recent offer, $75 million. So Lamborghini

01:48:14.729 --> 01:48:20.729
took him to court. And the judge ruled that the

01:48:20.729 --> 01:48:24.949
guy was asking way too much, and he was basically

01:48:24.949 --> 01:48:29.529
just withholding it and holding it hostage. So

01:48:29.529 --> 01:48:33.149
he gave the domain name to Lamborghini. Really?

01:48:33.390 --> 01:48:37.550
Free. And made the guy pay Lamborghini's legal

01:48:37.550 --> 01:48:42.310
fees. To me, that sounds like the fix was in

01:48:42.310 --> 01:48:45.750
on that one. Wouldn't you say? It sounds like

01:48:45.750 --> 01:48:49.710
it, but it really spanked this guy big time,

01:48:49.789 --> 01:48:52.710
didn't it? I want to know what money was exchanged

01:48:52.710 --> 01:48:58.010
when and where. Yeah. Wow. Boy, that just seems...

01:48:59.330 --> 01:49:04.069
Excessive. It does. And I guess, let's see, Lamborghini's

01:49:04.069 --> 01:49:06.529
owned by Volkswagen now. Yeah. So it's probably

01:49:06.529 --> 01:49:08.729
in the German courts. I wish sport people knew

01:49:08.729 --> 01:49:13.789
that. Yeah. But at least in the German courts,

01:49:14.010 --> 01:49:17.289
withholding something for too high a price is...

01:49:18.000 --> 01:49:20.600
frowned on, so scalpers must not do well in Germany.

01:49:20.659 --> 01:49:23.979
Oh, so then that's common practice there. Probably

01:49:23.979 --> 01:49:26.800
so. Then the guy that did that deserved what

01:49:26.800 --> 01:49:29.699
he got. If he knew what he was in for... He probably

01:49:29.699 --> 01:49:32.800
spent $100 to reach that name, and now he wants

01:49:32.800 --> 01:49:37.560
$75 million. Yeah. Okay. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:49:40.119 --> 01:49:43.869
I've got a story about a famous, iconic... Movie

01:49:43.869 --> 01:49:46.050
cars that have gone missing and nobody knows

01:49:46.050 --> 01:49:48.449
where they are. I mean, all of them are great,

01:49:48.489 --> 01:49:51.010
but this one I've been waiting for. First one

01:49:51.010 --> 01:49:53.170
up on the list, remember the movie Vanishing

01:49:53.170 --> 01:49:58.010
Point? Yeah. It's an old car chase movie. They

01:49:58.010 --> 01:50:04.590
bought five 1970 Chargers, Chrysler Plymouth

01:50:04.590 --> 01:50:06.970
Chargers. The original ones. Yeah. Was it Dodge

01:50:06.970 --> 01:50:10.270
Charger? Dodge. Yeah, that's right. And they

01:50:10.270 --> 01:50:12.590
were the beefed up Sportbird. There were four

01:50:12.590 --> 01:50:15.109
of them with the big engine and a four -speed

01:50:15.109 --> 01:50:20.149
manual. And there was one with a 398 and an automatic.

01:50:20.430 --> 01:50:22.430
And they used that one for a lot of the complex

01:50:22.430 --> 01:50:30.829
things. Driving scenes and stuff. I think it

01:50:30.829 --> 01:50:35.229
was a car chase from what? Denver to San Francisco?

01:50:35.510 --> 01:50:40.880
Yeah. But they rented five cars from Chrysler

01:50:40.880 --> 01:50:44.680
at a dollar a day and used all five of them in

01:50:44.680 --> 01:50:47.180
the shoot. Of course, because Chrysler wanted

01:50:47.180 --> 01:50:49.159
them there. Yeah, because that was advertising.

01:50:49.159 --> 01:50:51.979
That's product placement. Yep. What is that,

01:50:52.039 --> 01:50:54.880
1970? That was product placement all the way

01:50:54.880 --> 01:50:57.979
back then. Yes. Here it is 55 years later. They're

01:50:57.979 --> 01:51:00.619
really good at it now. Yeah. It's just like people

01:51:00.619 --> 01:51:02.439
don't realize, whenever you see that Pepsi can

01:51:02.439 --> 01:51:04.880
on a counter with the Pepsi logo right towards

01:51:04.880 --> 01:51:08.779
you. That was bought. Yep. That was bought. Absolutely.

01:51:10.340 --> 01:51:13.359
But then the movie came out. Uh -huh. And Chrysler,

01:51:13.479 --> 01:51:15.199
some of the representative of Chrysler was sent

01:51:15.199 --> 01:51:18.899
to the screening, and they hated it. Like, okay,

01:51:18.960 --> 01:51:21.680
the guy driving our car is breaking laws. He's

01:51:21.680 --> 01:51:23.619
getting chased by the cops. What did they expect?

01:51:23.619 --> 01:51:26.039
He's wrecking things. He's being a bad person.

01:51:27.100 --> 01:51:29.000
And they thought it was going to be some puff

01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:31.659
piece making their car look wonderful. Do they

01:51:31.659 --> 01:51:33.739
know nothing about marketing? Apparently not.

01:51:34.600 --> 01:51:37.000
So when Chrysler got them back, they sent all

01:51:37.000 --> 01:51:43.380
five of them to the crusher as punishment. And

01:51:43.380 --> 01:51:46.340
the prop master for the film production said,

01:51:46.560 --> 01:51:49.760
yeah, I watched them. Put all of them into the

01:51:49.760 --> 01:51:58.260
crusher. Chrysler is a sore loser. Jeez. That's

01:51:58.260 --> 01:52:04.760
ridiculous. Next up, we have Thunder Road. It's

01:52:04.760 --> 01:52:10.180
a movie about moonshining. Yep. And then the

01:52:10.180 --> 01:52:14.180
hero in the movie, what was it? Was it Robert

01:52:14.180 --> 01:52:16.979
Mitchum, maybe? Gregory Peck, one of those two.

01:52:18.220 --> 01:52:21.779
Might have been Mitchum. It could have been Peck.

01:52:21.779 --> 01:52:26.319
I don't know. So they had a Ford sedan that was

01:52:26.319 --> 01:52:31.699
his car. And it was... Billed as a 1950, but

01:52:31.699 --> 01:52:33.939
everybody who looks at the movie said, no, it's

01:52:33.939 --> 01:52:39.119
a 51. So it's a 50 -slash -51 Ford. And they

01:52:39.119 --> 01:52:43.039
actually got it from a moonshiner who had modified

01:52:43.039 --> 01:52:45.760
it to be better brakes, better suspension, faster,

01:52:46.060 --> 01:52:53.000
etc. And when the movie was over, let's see.

01:52:56.000 --> 01:53:00.130
Let me get my own handwriting here. Okay, yeah,

01:53:00.229 --> 01:53:02.590
it's the opening scene of the movie that really

01:53:02.590 --> 01:53:05.890
features that car. But when the filming wrapped,

01:53:06.210 --> 01:53:10.270
nobody is really sure what happened to that car

01:53:10.270 --> 01:53:12.390
because the studio wasn't keeping records of

01:53:12.390 --> 01:53:16.010
their prop department that well. So a lot of

01:53:16.010 --> 01:53:18.829
people said, hey, we gave it back to the moonshiner.

01:53:19.350 --> 01:53:23.550
Other people say, you know, they modified it

01:53:23.550 --> 01:53:25.750
back into just a regular street car and sold

01:53:25.750 --> 01:53:31.800
it as a used car. Nobody really knows. And there'd

01:53:31.800 --> 01:53:35.479
be no way to authenticate what really was. Which

01:53:35.479 --> 01:53:38.439
was, yeah. But in 1950, they really weren't thinking

01:53:38.439 --> 01:53:41.979
about that thing's having value or not. No, they

01:53:41.979 --> 01:53:45.979
weren't. You're right. On Rebel Without a Cause,

01:53:46.239 --> 01:53:51.319
James Dean drove a 49 Mercury. And it's the famous

01:53:51.319 --> 01:53:54.800
scene where he's drag racing with another guy.

01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:58.180
And you're supposed to drive towards a cliff.

01:53:59.430 --> 01:54:02.970
and the last person to bail out and let their

01:54:02.970 --> 01:54:06.369
car go over the cliff wins, except Jimmy Dean's

01:54:06.369 --> 01:54:08.310
character bailed out, and the other guy got his

01:54:08.310 --> 01:54:10.529
jacket caught in the door handle and went over

01:54:10.529 --> 01:54:13.869
with the car. So, you know, it's famous for that

01:54:13.869 --> 01:54:20.050
scene. And after the movie came out, like a few

01:54:20.050 --> 01:54:24.930
weeks later, Jimmy Dean died. Yeah, from a car

01:54:24.930 --> 01:54:29.399
wreck. A car wreck, yes. Studios prop department

01:54:29.399 --> 01:54:33.319
went looking for that 49 Merc. Couldn't find

01:54:33.319 --> 01:54:37.399
it. It's just gone. Somebody took it. And I have

01:54:37.399 --> 01:54:39.180
no idea what happened to that. And especially

01:54:39.180 --> 01:54:41.380
after James Dean died, they're like, we want

01:54:41.380 --> 01:54:45.640
to find that car. Nowhere to be found. Wow. Yeah.

01:54:45.739 --> 01:54:48.199
An entire car is stuck up in this area. Goes

01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:52.739
to James Dean. Yeah. Blade Runner. Remember the

01:54:52.739 --> 01:54:54.840
movie Blade Runner? Yes, I do. The flying cars?

01:54:55.180 --> 01:54:58.399
Yes. Those were called spinners. Within the script

01:54:58.399 --> 01:55:00.420
or the prop department, that's how they're referred

01:55:00.420 --> 01:55:02.460
to, the spinners, because they take off and they

01:55:02.460 --> 01:55:05.439
turn around. When the filming was done and the

01:55:05.439 --> 01:55:09.159
movie was complete, they took all of those spinners

01:55:09.159 --> 01:55:14.520
and stuck them out in an outdoor storage field

01:55:14.520 --> 01:55:19.979
and just let them rot in the weather, in the

01:55:19.979 --> 01:55:24.760
sun, day after day, year after year. Most of

01:55:24.760 --> 01:55:28.270
them just rotted away to nothing. And there were

01:55:28.270 --> 01:55:31.710
some collectors who tracked down these cars.

01:55:31.869 --> 01:55:33.470
And I remember one of them posting a picture

01:55:33.470 --> 01:55:35.750
online. And you could tell it used to be one

01:55:35.750 --> 01:55:38.350
of those awesome Blade Runner spinners. But it

01:55:38.350 --> 01:55:40.770
was just all beat to crap. And he asked the studio,

01:55:40.869 --> 01:55:43.189
please, will you sell me this? You know, I want

01:55:43.189 --> 01:55:44.529
to buy it and I want to restore it. And they

01:55:44.529 --> 01:55:48.649
said no. And they just let it rot. So as far

01:55:48.649 --> 01:55:50.270
as I know, there are absolutely none of them

01:55:50.270 --> 01:55:53.090
left. Because the studio just didn't give a damn.

01:55:54.250 --> 01:56:01.319
Weird. That is weird. Mad Max. The original Mad

01:56:01.319 --> 01:56:05.739
Max movie. He had a 73 Ford Falcon that was turned

01:56:05.739 --> 01:56:08.920
into the Interceptor which they labeled the hero

01:56:08.920 --> 01:56:13.600
car. It's an Australian made Ford Falcon because

01:56:13.600 --> 01:56:18.279
the steering wheel is on the other side. They

01:56:18.279 --> 01:56:21.439
built a number of them for the movie but the

01:56:21.439 --> 01:56:27.300
very first one they built was sold after the

01:56:27.300 --> 01:56:30.579
movie was over, but they lost the records of

01:56:30.579 --> 01:56:32.979
who they sold it to, and they've never been able

01:56:32.979 --> 01:56:37.680
to find it since. And they've got part numbers

01:56:37.680 --> 01:56:39.859
and serial numbers so they could identify it

01:56:39.859 --> 01:56:42.220
if it ever showed up. They said there are a ton

01:56:42.220 --> 01:56:45.220
of them out there that are replicas and tributes,

01:56:45.220 --> 01:56:48.539
and people have found other 73 Ford Falcons and

01:56:48.539 --> 01:56:50.439
made them look like that, but the original one,

01:56:50.520 --> 01:56:52.659
the very first one they built, you can't find

01:56:52.659 --> 01:56:56.720
it. Now, Mad Max was a very low -budget film.

01:56:57.000 --> 01:56:59.300
It was. And so they probably weren't thinking

01:56:59.300 --> 01:57:02.060
too much. They probably were selling it off because

01:57:02.060 --> 01:57:04.359
they had to at the end of the film. I think you're

01:57:04.359 --> 01:57:11.220
right. Yeah, probably so. Another iconic car

01:57:11.220 --> 01:57:14.899
was the 68 Ford Mustang Fastback in the movie

01:57:14.899 --> 01:57:20.619
Bullet. And there's an extended chase scene in

01:57:20.619 --> 01:57:26.270
the movie. They built two 68s. Mustang Fastbacks

01:57:26.270 --> 01:57:32.869
painted dark green for the movie. They didn't

01:57:32.869 --> 01:57:35.789
really beat them up so they finished the movie

01:57:35.789 --> 01:57:40.689
in pretty decent shape. One of the two that they

01:57:40.689 --> 01:57:46.649
built was found in 2018 in a barn and it was

01:57:46.649 --> 01:57:48.789
verified with the serial numbers that it was

01:57:48.789 --> 01:57:51.710
one of the two from the movie. and it sold at

01:57:51.710 --> 01:57:57.989
Mecham Auction for $3 .74 million. Wow. Now,

01:57:58.029 --> 01:58:00.189
the second one was used as more of a stunt car,

01:58:00.329 --> 01:58:03.010
so it was a little more beat up. That one they've

01:58:03.010 --> 01:58:07.310
never found. In fact, Steve McQueen asked to

01:58:07.310 --> 01:58:12.069
buy it, and they said no. Wow. Steve McQueen

01:58:12.069 --> 01:58:14.170
could have been cool enough to buy it, too. He

01:58:14.170 --> 01:58:19.029
should have had that. He should have. American

01:58:19.029 --> 01:58:25.229
Graffiti. The kind of main guy in the movie drives

01:58:25.229 --> 01:58:29.409
a yellow 32 Ford Deuce Coupe. Yeah. And at the

01:58:29.409 --> 01:58:31.710
time, it was chosen because that was kind of

01:58:31.710 --> 01:58:34.270
prototypical for the Hot Rodders of the time.

01:58:34.310 --> 01:58:38.229
A lot of them were using the 32 Ford Coupe. And

01:58:38.229 --> 01:58:42.250
it was all, you know, modified in the typical

01:58:42.250 --> 01:58:47.149
fashion. It was actually rented from a car enthusiast

01:58:47.149 --> 01:58:49.109
at Hot Rod. In fact, they rented like five or

01:58:49.109 --> 01:58:51.510
six of them. And they made them all look the

01:58:51.510 --> 01:58:53.670
same so they could use them interchangeably.

01:58:53.710 --> 01:58:55.970
But they were all rented from actual hot rodders

01:58:55.970 --> 01:58:58.510
who were modifying the cars. And when the movie

01:58:58.510 --> 01:59:01.689
was over, all of them were returned to the people

01:59:01.689 --> 01:59:04.930
that owned them. And like hot rodders do, they

01:59:04.930 --> 01:59:08.130
continued to modify them. So within a year or

01:59:08.130 --> 01:59:10.010
two, none of them looked like the way they did

01:59:10.010 --> 01:59:12.329
in the movie. And none of them even had the same

01:59:12.329 --> 01:59:15.989
parts as when they were in the movie. So there's

01:59:15.989 --> 01:59:18.090
a ton of them that have been... made as copies

01:59:18.090 --> 01:59:20.090
of the one that was in the movie, but there's

01:59:20.090 --> 01:59:23.250
absolutely no way to verify the ones that were

01:59:23.250 --> 01:59:25.729
actually used in the film. Because they've all

01:59:25.729 --> 01:59:28.630
been modified so heavily. And some of them probably

01:59:28.630 --> 01:59:30.609
crashed because they were cars people drove.

01:59:33.329 --> 01:59:38.029
Christine. Stephen Kingsman. 58 Plymouth Fury.

01:59:38.449 --> 01:59:44.590
Oh, I love that car. It's kind of up for debate

01:59:44.590 --> 01:59:46.880
how many of them they made for the movie. Some

01:59:46.880 --> 01:59:52.140
say 23, some say 27. Yeah, either one of them

01:59:52.140 --> 01:59:54.699
sounds about right to what I've heard. Because

01:59:54.699 --> 01:59:56.619
they wrecked a lot of them. Yeah, they did. And

01:59:56.619 --> 02:00:00.239
not all of them were actually 58 Plymouth Furies.

02:00:00.899 --> 02:00:03.800
There were a number of them that were similar

02:00:03.800 --> 02:00:08.779
models, cars that were in the same line as the

02:00:08.779 --> 02:00:11.840
Plymouth Fury, that they could modify and make

02:00:11.840 --> 02:00:14.079
it look like a Fury, especially if it was a 19.

02:00:16.250 --> 02:00:20.229
So they did a lot of that. Cars one through four

02:00:20.229 --> 02:00:23.470
are missing, and nobody has any idea whatever

02:00:23.470 --> 02:00:25.510
happened to them. The rest of them they know.

02:00:25.510 --> 02:00:27.510
It's like, yeah, that was all mashed up. We scrapped

02:00:27.510 --> 02:00:30.029
it. This one, you know, so -and -so took home.

02:00:30.189 --> 02:00:33.210
This one was also destroyed. Yeah, it makes you

02:00:33.210 --> 02:00:36.770
wonder if the people that stole them, like, just

02:00:36.770 --> 02:00:40.149
put them somewhere just to have. I mean, like

02:00:40.149 --> 02:00:43.899
in a barn somewhere. Yeah, and it's like stolen

02:00:43.899 --> 02:00:45.859
guitars. Some of them wind up under somebody's

02:00:45.859 --> 02:00:47.840
bed, and they'd sit there for so long, no one

02:00:47.840 --> 02:00:49.659
ever remembers whose it was in the first place,

02:00:49.760 --> 02:00:51.359
and it just winds up being just another guitar.

02:00:51.600 --> 02:00:54.380
It was like that Mustang that someone stole the

02:00:54.380 --> 02:00:57.119
first year of their inexistence, like 57 or something,

02:00:57.260 --> 02:01:01.600
and the guy took it home. He didn't have insurance

02:01:01.600 --> 02:01:03.500
on it yet or nothing, because that's back when

02:01:03.500 --> 02:01:07.319
you couldn't just call or do internet or something.

02:01:07.479 --> 02:01:11.729
He took it home, and someone stole it. And approximately

02:01:11.729 --> 02:01:16.289
15 years ago, it was found in a garage in an

02:01:16.289 --> 02:01:19.310
old barn in mint shape. And they gave it back

02:01:19.310 --> 02:01:21.989
to him, and it was worth like 300 grand. But

02:01:21.989 --> 02:01:24.329
he was like 90. The guy who stole it probably

02:01:24.329 --> 02:01:26.510
just parked it there and left it. Yeah, that's

02:01:26.510 --> 02:01:27.930
what happens all the time. They're just like,

02:01:27.949 --> 02:01:30.109
oh, that's cool. And then they go to jail or

02:01:30.109 --> 02:01:32.930
something, and no one remembers. It's not so

02:01:32.930 --> 02:01:35.090
much, I want that. It's more like, I don't want

02:01:35.090 --> 02:01:36.630
you to have it, so I'm going to take it from

02:01:36.630 --> 02:01:41.609
you and stick it somewhere. Yeah, yep. Here's

02:01:41.609 --> 02:01:44.890
one from the 60s. Herbie the Love Bug. Oh, yeah.

02:01:45.170 --> 02:01:48.310
The little Volkswagen Beetle. Was that the 60s?

02:01:48.470 --> 02:01:51.229
Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Because the bug itself was

02:01:51.229 --> 02:01:56.630
a 63. Yeah. And the storyline was it was a Volkswagen

02:01:56.630 --> 02:01:59.750
Beetle, painted white with some racing stripes

02:01:59.750 --> 02:02:02.689
and the number 53 on it, and the car was alive

02:02:02.689 --> 02:02:06.250
and intelligent. And he was kind of the underdog

02:02:06.250 --> 02:02:11.020
hero of the movie. Yeah. It was a 63 VW Beetle.

02:02:11.260 --> 02:02:14.960
They bought 26 for the production of the movie.

02:02:15.479 --> 02:02:18.600
The very first one that they modified is the

02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:22.979
one they can't find. All the other 25 are accounted

02:02:22.979 --> 02:02:25.560
for. Except for the very first modified one.

02:02:25.619 --> 02:02:27.779
And the very first one was the one that they

02:02:27.779 --> 02:02:31.479
modified to be an everyday driver. A lot of the

02:02:31.479 --> 02:02:35.399
other ones were built for stunts. the hood would

02:02:35.399 --> 02:02:37.699
pop up, or the doors would flap, or this one

02:02:37.699 --> 02:02:39.720
was designed to crash into something, or blah,

02:02:39.779 --> 02:02:42.199
blah. But the first one was the nice one and

02:02:42.199 --> 02:02:44.560
the good one, and somebody walked off with it,

02:02:44.619 --> 02:02:48.899
or drove off with it. That's funny. And at this

02:02:48.899 --> 02:02:51.000
point, there's absolutely no way to, I mean,

02:02:51.020 --> 02:02:53.600
there's been like a dozen over the years. People

02:02:53.600 --> 02:02:55.439
say, yeah, this is it. I found it. This is it.

02:02:55.600 --> 02:02:57.939
There's no way to verify. There's just absolutely

02:02:57.939 --> 02:03:00.020
no way. Like someone could have been at the bottom

02:03:00.020 --> 02:03:02.380
of a lake or something just to be a dick. They'll

02:03:02.380 --> 02:03:04.840
never get it now or they'll never catch me or

02:03:04.840 --> 02:03:08.939
whatever, you know. And then the honorable mention

02:03:08.939 --> 02:03:11.699
for this list is the Captain America motorcycle

02:03:11.699 --> 02:03:16.619
from Easy Rider. Yes. It's the red, white, and

02:03:16.619 --> 02:03:19.460
blue Stars and Stripes motorcycle that Peter

02:03:19.460 --> 02:03:22.880
Fonda drove. Yeah. And I believe there's only

02:03:22.880 --> 02:03:27.770
one of them. And after the movie wrapped. It,

02:03:27.789 --> 02:03:30.250
along with a number of other things from the

02:03:30.250 --> 02:03:32.529
movie, were put in a storage facility, and it

02:03:32.529 --> 02:03:36.949
was stolen that night. So somebody who knew it

02:03:36.949 --> 02:03:39.729
was being stored there went back that night and

02:03:39.729 --> 02:03:42.130
took it. Inside job. Never been seen since. Inside

02:03:42.130 --> 02:03:44.630
job. Now, there have been a ton of replicas made,

02:03:44.770 --> 02:03:46.729
and they don't drive very well. Apparently, as

02:03:46.729 --> 02:03:48.689
Peter said, that bike did not drive very well

02:03:48.689 --> 02:03:51.210
at all. It was made to look cool on film, but

02:03:51.210 --> 02:03:56.050
it was a nightmare to drive. But somebody could

02:03:56.050 --> 02:03:59.449
have that. Or it could be something that was

02:03:59.449 --> 02:04:01.989
modified and modified and somebody didn't realize

02:04:01.989 --> 02:04:05.310
what they had and just jumped it. You never know.

02:04:06.350 --> 02:04:08.949
Probably. Most of the times they either chicken

02:04:08.949 --> 02:04:11.289
out or they'll never get it or something like

02:04:11.289 --> 02:04:14.029
that. They do something with it that no one will

02:04:14.029 --> 02:04:15.949
ever find it. Or just, I don't know, sometimes

02:04:15.949 --> 02:04:17.609
you never know. They might have had it chopped

02:04:17.609 --> 02:04:22.289
up or something. That was my list. Okay. Their

02:04:22.289 --> 02:04:25.289
little serial plate VIN number is probably sitting

02:04:25.289 --> 02:04:29.829
on somebody's fucking dresser. Yeah. All right.

02:04:29.949 --> 02:04:33.510
So, we have an Idiot of the Year contestant here.

02:04:33.630 --> 02:04:36.609
All right. All right. On November 7th at Louis

02:04:36.609 --> 02:04:39.090
Armstrong New Orleans International Airport,

02:04:39.449 --> 02:04:43.229
Corey Johnson, 35, of Alexandria, Louisiana,

02:04:43.529 --> 02:04:47.149
tried to exit the short -term parking lot, but

02:04:47.149 --> 02:04:50.170
he wasn't able to pay the fee. Okay, so he's

02:04:50.170 --> 02:04:51.729
kind of like, oh shit, I didn't know it was going

02:04:51.729 --> 02:04:55.069
to cost this much or whatever. So People Magazine

02:04:55.069 --> 02:04:58.770
reported that Johnson at first refused to move

02:04:58.770 --> 02:05:01.390
his Jeep out of the exit lane, but later agreed

02:05:01.390 --> 02:05:05.210
to pull aside. And while Johnson was still stuck

02:05:05.210 --> 02:05:07.909
in the parking lot, the airport's aviation communications

02:05:07.909 --> 02:05:10.760
center... received a threatening phone call.

02:05:10.899 --> 02:05:12.939
Ooh. Yeah, so he's out there and he's pissed

02:05:12.939 --> 02:05:15.539
off. He doesn't have enough money. So he decides

02:05:15.539 --> 02:05:18.020
to call the aviation center and threaten them.

02:05:18.159 --> 02:05:21.420
Oh, smart man. Well, he goes on from there. Oh,

02:05:21.420 --> 02:05:25.579
God. Suggesting a bomb would be detonated if

02:05:25.579 --> 02:05:29.399
the operator did not page Hassan. Oh, my God.

02:05:31.340 --> 02:05:36.399
Yes. Oh. The center received another call around

02:05:36.399 --> 02:05:40.520
1035 saying, He wanted Hassan to bring the bomb

02:05:40.520 --> 02:05:47.079
to level three. Dig that hole. Just keep digging.

02:05:47.460 --> 02:05:50.680
He's already in it so far now that dirt's coming

02:05:50.680 --> 02:05:54.979
on him. Deputies, of course, pinged the phone,

02:05:55.039 --> 02:05:57.100
making the calls, and traced it back to Johnson.

02:05:57.220 --> 02:06:00.600
By 11 p .m., he was under arrest on November

02:06:00.600 --> 02:06:04.930
20th. Johnson was indicted for willfully conveying

02:06:04.930 --> 02:06:07.250
a bomb threat. He could face up to 10 years in

02:06:07.250 --> 02:06:10.649
prison, a $250 ,000 fine. He would have been

02:06:10.649 --> 02:06:13.170
better just having a car towed or whatever, or

02:06:13.170 --> 02:06:18.029
plead mercy or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, moron.

02:06:18.109 --> 02:06:22.329
I know. I know most of those places, all you

02:06:22.329 --> 02:06:24.409
have to do is sign a piece of paper saying, I

02:06:24.409 --> 02:06:26.029
promise I'll send you the money in the mail,

02:06:26.109 --> 02:06:28.149
and no one ever does. Yeah, and it would have

02:06:28.149 --> 02:06:31.869
been easily. Easily resolved. He wanted to die

02:06:31.869 --> 02:06:34.069
on that hill, apparently. I guess so, and he

02:06:34.069 --> 02:06:41.350
did, too. Okay, I got another one. Okay. This

02:06:41.350 --> 02:06:43.489
is a runner -up, or I don't know, just a stupid

02:06:43.489 --> 02:06:46.250
story or whatever. Police in Auckland, New Zealand,

02:06:46.329 --> 02:06:49.510
are holding a man in custody, presumably awaiting

02:06:49.510 --> 02:06:52.810
a certain biological development. After he was

02:06:52.810 --> 02:06:56.210
accused of swallowing a $19 ,000 Fabergé egg

02:06:56.210 --> 02:07:01.479
pendant on November 28th, the BBC reported. Officers

02:07:01.479 --> 02:07:04.659
went to Partridge Jewelers, no tree, and arrested

02:07:04.659 --> 02:07:10.439
the 32 -year -old man. Okay. Who has undergone

02:07:10.439 --> 02:07:14.020
a medical assessment. Talk about crap duty. An

02:07:14.020 --> 02:07:17.060
officer is assigned to constantly monitor the

02:07:17.060 --> 02:07:20.640
man. Oh, my God. Inspector Gray Anderson said,

02:07:20.699 --> 02:07:22.640
if this state's defendant has not been recovered,

02:07:22.960 --> 02:07:25.920
the egg is set with white diamonds. and blue

02:07:25.920 --> 02:07:28.399
sapphires, and has an 18 -karat gold miniature

02:07:28.399 --> 02:07:33.279
octopus inside. Yeah. Do you want to buy and

02:07:33.279 --> 02:07:35.560
own that after it's been through somebody's digestive

02:07:35.560 --> 02:07:37.840
tract? That's exactly what I was thinking, too.

02:07:38.279 --> 02:07:40.659
Why would you even want that damn thing after

02:07:40.659 --> 02:07:42.560
that? I don't think you could wash that enough.

02:07:43.020 --> 02:07:45.779
I don't either. No. And wouldn't it be tarnished

02:07:45.779 --> 02:07:49.100
because of the digestive acids? Well, I guess

02:07:49.100 --> 02:07:50.579
gold wouldn't tarnish, but silver would. No,

02:07:50.600 --> 02:07:53.460
gold wouldn't, but silver would. Yeah. I don't

02:07:53.460 --> 02:07:57.029
know about the jewels. And a lot of times adhesives

02:07:57.029 --> 02:07:58.829
are used to keep, you know, things together.

02:07:58.890 --> 02:08:01.409
That might be partly digested away. So, yeah,

02:08:01.430 --> 02:08:03.130
they might get the egg back. It's like, hey,

02:08:03.170 --> 02:08:05.270
we're missing two sapphires, man. That would

02:08:05.270 --> 02:08:09.229
not surprise me at all. So they have people on

02:08:09.229 --> 02:08:12.409
shit duty. Yeah. Ready to dig it out of his shit,

02:08:12.470 --> 02:08:17.229
but it hasn't happened yet. I guess you can make

02:08:17.229 --> 02:08:19.949
the guy wear a diaper, so, you know. Maybe that's

02:08:19.949 --> 02:08:22.229
what they're doing. I don't know. And every time

02:08:22.229 --> 02:08:23.909
he takes a dump, you might go, all right, give

02:08:23.909 --> 02:08:26.739
me the diaper. So I guess he was trying to shoplift

02:08:26.739 --> 02:08:28.600
it and thought, if I just swallow this thing,

02:08:28.619 --> 02:08:32.300
then they won't know. Yeah. But instead, now

02:08:32.300 --> 02:08:34.199
he's sitting somewhere waiting there, waiting

02:08:34.199 --> 02:08:36.359
to shit it out. Right next to the people who

02:08:36.359 --> 02:08:39.100
swallowed cocaine -filled condoms on the way

02:08:39.100 --> 02:08:42.619
into the country. Shoving drugs in their can

02:08:42.619 --> 02:08:51.800
to try to get a... Let's see. Rankin, Pennsylvania

02:08:51.800 --> 02:08:53.859
got his first snowfall this week, but it was

02:08:53.859 --> 02:08:57.800
less than prepared. KDKA -TV reported. Alas,

02:08:57.800 --> 02:09:00.560
Rankin has only one Public Works employee, and

02:09:00.560 --> 02:09:03.859
that employee isn't licensed to operate a snowplow.

02:09:07.960 --> 02:09:11.319
Yeah, it gets a little bit better. Still, Borough

02:09:11.319 --> 02:09:14.500
Resident Marcus Clay cut them some slack. They

02:09:14.500 --> 02:09:16.380
didn't do too bad. It was better than it was

02:09:16.380 --> 02:09:19.300
last year. Borough Council Member Walter Sewells

02:09:19.300 --> 02:09:22.310
hopefully noted. We're working through it, though.

02:09:23.270 --> 02:09:26.569
So the city subcontracted with local businesses,

02:09:26.630 --> 02:09:28.649
and in the spirit of the season, even residents

02:09:28.649 --> 02:09:31.010
chipped in, shoveling and salting their own blocks.

02:09:31.750 --> 02:09:34.050
That's what happens in Kansas City, too. People

02:09:34.050 --> 02:09:37.170
get tired of waiting, and they're like, well,

02:09:37.210 --> 02:09:39.270
it's going to be in the 50s this weekend, so

02:09:39.270 --> 02:09:40.810
if it's going to be shoveled, it's got to be

02:09:40.810 --> 02:09:44.479
now, not on their time. And there's nothing worse

02:09:44.479 --> 02:09:47.100
when you're sitting there waiting. And then it's

02:09:47.100 --> 02:09:49.600
like 35 degrees and it's melting on its own.

02:09:49.659 --> 02:09:52.460
And then you see the plow go by. It's like, no,

02:09:52.720 --> 02:09:56.319
no, get out of here. We don't need you now. I

02:09:56.319 --> 02:09:59.920
delivered mail in KCK for 32 years, which is

02:09:59.920 --> 02:10:04.779
32 winters. And it was the policy there that

02:10:04.779 --> 02:10:08.739
when a snow was forecast and it was going to

02:10:08.739 --> 02:10:10.720
be significant enough that the snow plows would

02:10:10.720 --> 02:10:14.340
have to run, then they'd already informed everybody

02:10:14.340 --> 02:10:17.979
repeatedly, don't park your car on the street,

02:10:18.119 --> 02:10:20.420
park it in your driveway. We won't plow your

02:10:20.420 --> 02:10:22.380
street if there are cars parked on it because

02:10:22.380 --> 02:10:24.939
the liability is too high. So what does everybody

02:10:24.939 --> 02:10:27.439
do? They park their cars on the street. And then

02:10:27.439 --> 02:10:29.300
they bitch that their street didn't get plowed.

02:10:29.579 --> 02:10:32.140
And I started telling people, you know, I'm delivering

02:10:32.140 --> 02:10:33.859
the mail and they complain, yeah, they never

02:10:33.859 --> 02:10:35.600
plow our street. And I said, well, it's because

02:10:35.600 --> 02:10:37.819
cars are parked on it. They won't plow if there's

02:10:37.819 --> 02:10:40.779
a single car parked on it anywhere. And then

02:10:40.779 --> 02:10:42.819
they bitch and complain, well, I can park in

02:10:42.819 --> 02:10:44.960
front of my house if I want to. That's the weird

02:10:44.960 --> 02:10:47.020
thing about Wyandotte County. They'll have like

02:10:47.020 --> 02:10:50.140
a double -wide driveway and a two -car garage.

02:10:50.319 --> 02:10:52.399
So between that, they can get six cars parked

02:10:52.399 --> 02:10:54.579
in there. They'll park every damn car on the

02:10:54.579 --> 02:10:57.539
street for some weird reason. I guess none of

02:10:57.539 --> 02:10:59.539
them trust themselves to back out of the driveway.

02:10:59.779 --> 02:11:02.699
I guess. But everybody parked, you know, the

02:11:02.699 --> 02:11:04.180
car, when the car is in the driveway, are the

02:11:04.180 --> 02:11:05.979
ones that didn't run. Do you tell me when it

02:11:05.979 --> 02:11:08.020
snows, they can't all just park in the driveway

02:11:08.020 --> 02:11:10.930
until it's cleared? Yeah, they could. They just

02:11:10.930 --> 02:11:12.949
choose not to. Yeah, they just choose not to.

02:11:13.069 --> 02:11:15.890
And then they conveniently forget that the reason

02:11:15.890 --> 02:11:17.850
their street's not plowed is because they leave

02:11:17.850 --> 02:11:20.090
their cars parked on the street. And then they

02:11:20.090 --> 02:11:23.149
just bitch and whine. Conveniently. Yeah. I've

02:11:23.149 --> 02:11:24.989
got some more stories, but how long have we got?

02:11:25.109 --> 02:11:27.899
I don't know. Two hours and eight minutes. I

02:11:27.899 --> 02:11:29.699
think it's probably time to wrap up. I think

02:11:29.699 --> 02:11:31.720
so. We've been probably pretty tired of hearing

02:11:31.720 --> 02:11:33.460
our voices right now. Probably. They probably

02:11:33.460 --> 02:11:36.119
already shut it off a long time ago. But in case

02:11:36.119 --> 02:11:38.239
you didn't, thank you for listening. Our numbers

02:11:38.239 --> 02:11:40.659
are reflecting it. We really appreciate you.

02:11:40.720 --> 02:11:42.180
Thank you so much. Go fuck yourself.
