Hey there, slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps
Music News. Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This
is Johnny Rohypnol with your music news. Known
asshole and constant complainer and social preaching.
Hypocrite Neil Young has canceled all his 2026
tour dates. Most in the U .S. still proving.
If you hate America so much, stay the fuck out
of it. Bye -bye, male Felicia. This is Johnny
Rohypnol. That was your music news. And remember,
bar chords are bullshit. It gets worse every
time, doesn't it? It does. They could be doing
it the other way, getting better. It's proof
positive that I really don't care what people
think about me. I concur. Same here. Embarrassed?
Nah. I say stand in line. Stand in line. There's
plenty more where you came from. Now, I try not
to embarrass my wife too much, but I will embarrass
my kids. Oh, of course. Of course, they embarrass
me, so it all works out. Well, I mean, it's called
get back. Yes. It's like, remember when you ran
over the, I told you to put away the crescent
wrench and you hit it with an arm? Yeah. Remember
that? That's just a small sample of what you
got coming. Okay. All right. We are the Music
Creeps. I am Topher. I'm Mark. We are these two
sick creeps that are on this show. So, you got
something you want to go into? Yeah, I wanted
to talk about the guitarist for Met Motorhead,
Phil Campbell, who recently passed. Yep, God
rest his soul. I mean, he wasn't anything special,
but man, he was so good in Motorhead. Yes, he
was. So, I've got a little story in retrospect
about him. Very beloved guy, too. Yeah, yeah.
Phil Campbell, the guitarist who spent more than
three decades as a member of the legendary hard
rock band Motorhead, has died at age 64. He was
also part of Campbell Soups. Yeah. He was one
of the founding members. And he posed for that
little kid, the Campbell Soup kid with the rosy
cheeks. That was him, wasn't it? Okay, the musician
died following what his family described as a
long and courageous battle in intensive care
after a complex major operation. Pretty vague.
Yeah, and I... Okay, also read where he had cancer.
Yes, he did, yeah. Okay. Now, his family did
not disclose further details on the medical procedure,
which seems odd since Phil was not hiding the
fact that he had bladder cancer. And usually
a family will promote charities tied to the underlying
disease as a means of remembrance. But in this
case, they completely wouldn't even mention it,
just said vague things about intensive care and
operations. Isn't that odd? That's very odd.
Usually it's like, yeah, he died of bladder cancer,
make donations to these cancer organizations,
but none of that. What a better way to, you know,
to celebrate his life. And that's kind of what
we've gotten used to, you know, that kind of
thing. Yeah, wow. Anyway, Campbell's sons Todd,
Dane, and Tyler announced his death through their
Facebook page of their band Phil Campbell and
the Bastard Sons. They listened to us on the
Sports Bastards. Yeah, I remember him asking
for permission. I was like, sure. I mean, I know
you were there too. Now, the Welsh -born rocker,
hey, I'm Welsh, hardly, founded the metal band
Persian Risk in 1979 before joining Motorhead
in 84 as a replacement for Brian Robertson. Campbell
recorded 16 studio albums over 31 years with
Motorhead, beginning with 86's Orgasmatron. He
contributed riffs to songs like... I love that.
There was a movie. Lemmy was so fucking cool.
There was a Woody Allen movie, I think it came
out in 72, called Sleeper and an Orgasmatron.
Like your stepdaughter? Oh, okay. It's a guy
who goes to sleep and wakes up in the future.
And in the future they have things called an
Orgasmatron that they pass around at parties.
Is it a Woody Allen movie? Yes. Of course. Yeah.
All right. Let's see. Okay. Aguas Mitraju contributed
riffs to songs like Death Forever, Eat the Rich,
and Born to Raise Hell before the band breakup
following frontman Let Me Kill Mr. Death in 2015.
Was Death Killed by Death? Is that the same song?
No, this was Death. Oh, Death Forever, okay.
Yeah, D -E -A -F. Okay, there's some good songs
in there. Yeah. The official Motorhead social
media account shared a tribute to Campbell on
Saturday morning, the Saturday that he died.
Phil was a wonderful guitarist, writer, performer,
and musician who had Motorhead in his veins,
the post read. He always led with his gift of
guitar and carried a great sense of humor, but
most of all, Phil led with his heart. You could
not be around him without a chuckle or twenty.
because, quite simply, Phil loved life and lived
it with great joy. That's what everybody says.
Phil is also credited with providing crucial
musical stability, acting as a key songwriter
and right -hand man to Lemmy. and contributing
many of the riffs and hooks for songs, having
a versatile rock -heavy sound that complimented
Lemmy, and added stability during lineup changes
over the years. I remember they had Phil the
Filthy Animal Taylor on drums, and the guy just
really couldn't play. He had a great name. He
did have a great name. And he looked cool. He
just couldn't play. Campbell's debut solo album,
studio album, Old Lions Still Roar. was released
on, oh wait, I skipped a paragraph. In February
2016, Campbell entered the studio along with
former Slipknot percussionist Chris Fane to record
a new solo album. The solo album came out as
Old Lion Still Roar, released on 25 October 2019,
fully three years after he started it. Wow. And
features guest vocals from Alice Cooper, Rob
Halford, Dee Snider, and Benji Webb. Wow. He
also had a band called Phil Campbell and the
Bastard Sons. The second Motorhead's motorboat
was a themed five -day cruise from Miami to the
Bahamas. Oh, I remember those. Yeah, it featured
Phil Campbell's all -star band, Star of the Two
R's. One of the many support acts to headline
Motorhead, Frank Anthrax, and Slayer, he became
Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons. In November
2016, his new project, Kill Camber and the Bastard
Sons, released their first recording, self -titled
EP. Alright, short pause because somebody down
the road was peeling a child. Yes, they didn't
peel him enough, he's still making noise. Yes.
Alright, anyhow. Okay, they released their first
self -titled EP. The band has subsequently performed
in supporting slots with Guns N' Roses, Hawkwind,
Saxon, and Airborne. Oh, wow. In August 2017,
Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons announced
they were to start recording their debut album.
On 26 October 2017, Phil Campbell and the Bastard
Sons announced the title of the debut album as
The Age of Absurdity, which was released 26 January
2018 on Nuclear Blast Records. The album was
produced by Romesh Dodengoda, who also provided
some percussion and keyboards. The band's lineup
for the inaugural album featured Phil and his
three sons, together with former Attack Attack
vocalist from South Wales, Neil Starr, with two
R's, which is why it's called the old Starr band.
Neil was replaced with vocalist Joel Peters in
late 2021. The lineup was Phil Campbell, guitar,
Todd Campbell, guitar, harmonica, Dane Campbell,
drums, Tyler Campbell, bass, Joel Peters, vocals,
Romesh Dodangoda. percussion and keyboards on
Into the Dark. He discovered the cheese, Gouda
cheese. Dave Brock, guitar and vocals on Silver
Machine. The candy guy. They released a cover
of Hawkwind's Silver Machine in 2018 for Record
Store Day. It was previously available as a bonus
track on some CD versions. The second album,
We're the Bastards, was released in 2020, again
featuring Neil Starr and vocals. The third, a
live album called Live in the North featuring
Joel Peters on vocals, was recorded in Sunderland
on 2021 and released two years later, March of
23. The fourth album, Kings of the Asylum, was
released on the 1st of September 2023, supported
by three videos in the build -up featuring the
tracks Schizophrenia, Hammers and Dance, and
Strike the Match, recorded at a special invite
-only event in Cardiff. Okay. Campbell used an
LEG Explorer signature model guitar, both live
in the studio. He also used DBZ, Charvel, Comparison,
a couple of famous custom shop guitars. I didn't
know he did a Charvel in there. Yeah. Along with
the occasional acoustic Dean guitar. He was also
known to play ESP, PRS. Maneric Infernos, Tokai
Love Rock, and Parker Nightfly guitars. Parker
Nightflys were just hideously expensive. They
were over -engineered to death. They were just
really expensive. I really didn't think their
sound was all that for everything that they put
into it. They really didn't get banged for their
buck. He also used guitars built by Luthier T
.C. Ellis. Ellis built him one modeled after
Lemmy's custom -built Rickenbacker. Oh, yeah,
yeah, yeah. The guitar that looked like his bass.
Yes, I love that one. So you've seen it, yeah.
Like Lemmy, Campbell used Marshall amplifiers
and cabinets when playing live. In the studio,
he's known to use Line 6 modeling amp, Engel,
Wagner, and LaBoga amps. Early in his career,
he occasionally played Galleon Kruger, which
I mostly associate with bass guitar. Okay. Well,
you know, I was always a Motorhead fan. I just
wasn't one of those people that went around screaming
their name and wearing their shirts all the time.
No, no. I'd listen to their music and I'd enjoy
it, but I wasn't out there promoting it the way
I did Alice Cooper. No, no, no. In some way.
I was a total Alice Cooper geek for a long time.
Yeah, and I was like that with Ozzy. And we both
really liked the other artists. I used to be
into Cooper a hell of a lot more, but then we
talked about it before. He really didn't change
his style that much. And then Ozzy, I really
dipped off of him in 2000 to about 2013 until
he came back to Sabbath after Theo passed away
and all that. Because he started getting to where
he was having... Zach Wilde do the down tuning.
And it sounded horrible. There wasn't anything
to the music at that time. Alice Cooper did a
whole album where everything was down tuned.
There's some good tracks on there, but they could
have done without that gimmick. Oh yeah, and
the way that Ozzy corrected it, and then Alice
corrected his too. But the stage show is still
pretty much the same, which is fine. But I'd
seen it so many times. The thing is... Ozzy corrected
it by not having Zach in the last... He had Zach
on the last couple albums, but not in that much
of a facet. He wasn't songwriting or nothing.
The songs were gave to him, and he was putting
his stuff into it. Yeah. You know, so... Anyhow,
he's starting to sound like Black Label Society
is what it was. Pretty much. Oh, but anyhow,
I got sidetracked. Go ahead. Oh, that was the
end of my... That was it? Okay. My Lemmy. Well,
Phil Campbell, we both enjoyed him. He's a great
guy, obviously, and it's too bad. And he was
a good musician. Yeah. I mean, it's kind of like,
you know, the songs that they did didn't need
anything else. Yeah. It was what it was, and
he didn't bother. He was like, I don't need to
get fancy on this. I don't need a huge lead.
This is, you know, punch you in the face rock.
Yeah. That's it, you know. I was reading a bit
of an article today about Chief Trick because
I was trying to figure out why the drummer parted
ways. Bunny Carlos? Yeah. He was a dick, supposedly.
Yeah. His son's in there now, right? No, Wikipedia
incorrectly listed it as his son. It's Rick Nielsen's
son. That's right. I remember you telling me
that. I thought it was Bunny Carlos. I'm like,
well, if they hated him, why'd they put his son
in there? But they were talking about in early,
like in 76, when the band was really starting
to get going, he was listening back to one of
the shows. And he was always trying to throw
in extra stuff and play as many fills as possible
and really overplay. And when you listen back
to a tape of the concert, he's like, wow, I'm
really stepping all over everybody. I'm messing
this up. So he started recording every show and
pulling back and pulling back and learning when
to play just enough at just the right time. Because
he started out playing like crazy. And then they
were on tour with, I forget who, but the drummer
was Billy Cobham. And Billy taught him how to
be ambidextrous at drums. So instead of right
-handed or left -handed, it didn't matter. He
could just go either direction, anywhere. And
that really opened up his drumming. Yeah, he
was really good. I mean, his look wasn't really
there, but I mean, he was a really good drummer.
Yeah. So what was the rift? What it said was
in 2017 or so. I think I'm getting that right.
Maybe it was 2010. I think it's 2010. He's been
on the band a long time. The band was deciding
how to proceed, whether they were going to continue
with a strong touring schedule or cut back. And
the singer, Robin Zander, wanted to cut back
and spend more time with family. And also his
voice. He's still like that to this day. Of course,
he's quite a bit older, too. But one show he'll
be on, one show he won't have it, and that's
what you get at that age. That's what Stevie
Nicks does. You'll notice she only does a show
every three or four days. Very wisely. Because
she has to rest her voice in between. She can't
do two nights in a row. She used to be able to,
but she cannot anymore. And she's doing the smart
thing. Yeah, and that's pretty much what Robin
Zander wanted to do back in 2010, and he is right.
And Bundy Carlos was like, nope, I want to keep
going, play as much as possible, keep touring,
and they just couldn't... Come to an agreement.
Yeah, so he was out of the band, and then they
started removing him for all their businesses
and all that stuff. So all that stuff about him
being a dick was false? Probably so. Okay. But
he eventually did file a lawsuit against the
band, saying, you know, I still deserve the royalties,
I still deserve to be part of the... the companies
and the businesses to be built, et cetera, et
cetera. And the lawsuit was settled as Carlos
is still in the band, but he doesn't perform
on the albums and he doesn't go on tour. So he's
just kind of there, and they still pay him for
all the stuff. I wonder if the percentage of
the new drummer comes from him then. I would
imagine that the drummer they have is just paid
by the show. Just by the show, okay. He's probably
not a real member of the band. Oh, no, no. Even
though he is Rick's kid, he's probably just a
hired gun. Yeah, and that's what they do now,
too. Whenever an original member like Vince Neal,
he is not a member. He is a paid singer. An independent
contractor. An independent contractor. He got
quiet all of a sudden, didn't he? I think everyone's
drunk and went home. I think so. That's why those
kids were so noisy. Those little kids, they were
drunk off their asses at the St. Patrick's Day
parade. I noticed that one pissed his pants.
A little beer in the sippy cup. Yeah, yeah. No
wonder the old bastard was so annoying. So I
started off on that, you know, to talk about
Carlos learning how to underplay and not go stepping
all over everybody else. That's interesting because
usually it happens the other way. They start
learning more and going, hey, watch this. And
everyone's like, whoa there. Hang on. Hang on.
Yeah. This is not a drum clinic. No, no, no,
no. And it's interesting because drummers tend
to do that. Yeah. They tend to go a little crazy.
Yeah. I understand. You're beating the shit out
of this, you know, and it's like, hey, check
this out, guys. And everyone's like, thank you,
but no. And usually when it's a fill or a lick
they're really excited about, they'll speed up.
Yeah. And everyone's like, what? The song? The
song? I remember I was in a band called Weatherhead
for like, three years or so. And then they asked
me to leave because I wasn't all that reliable
for live shows anymore. I was getting a lot of
headaches. And about six months later, I was
hanging out with the guys. They'd already gotten
a new drummer and were doing stuff. And I remember
the guitar player was saying, I don't remember
you ever speeding up and slowing down in songs,
but every drummer we've had since you, that's
all they do. They speed up, they slow down. They
stuck to the script. Yeah, and I said, well,
I paid attention to that and made a conscious
effort to not speed up and not slow down. Not
everybody has that discipline. I noticed, who
was it that did that? It was Kiss and Makeup,
and it was Peter Criss. This is their reunion
tour. Peter Criss did that quite a bit, but he'd
always quail it back. Because I'm sitting there
listening, I'm going, okay, okay, oh, wait a
minute, wait a minute. And then he would, it
was kind of like a signal or something. You'd
see Paul Stanley turn around and look his way.
And then you'd see him start slowing down again.
And I think it's natural for a lot of drummers.
Peter Criss is a great drummer, a fantastic drummer,
a jazz drummer. But he falls victim to that,
too. And he's a jazz drummer. So, you know. I
remember Emerson Lincoln Palmer. The song Welcome
Back My Friends to the show that never ran. They
like pinball machines. Yeah, they do. Oh, I've
got that story. I'll tell you a little bit. In
that song, there's a break and the drums take
over. As soon as the drums take over for this
little Phil solo thing, the speed goes way up
and you can hear it. It's just like... And then
it goes... It's going that much faster. Yeah,
I think I... And then at a certain point, the
vocals come in over the drums, and it slows down
for that. And then when the rest of the band
comes in, it slows all the way back down to the
original tempo. That's right. Which tells me
they recorded it in three different sessions.
And I remember pointing that out to someone else,
and when he was listening, he was like, I've
never heard that before. Now I can't unhear it.
Thanks for running the song for me, man. Actually,
I think I know exactly what you're talking about,
because that song, I've heard it so many times,
I think I... Yeah, he speeds way, way up when
he's doing this drum thing, and then they ratchet
it back for the vocal line, and then they ratchet
all the way back for when the band comes in.
You know how annoying that's got to be for the
bassist and guitarist? The singer, he doesn't
care. He can improvise or whatever. But the bassists
and guitarists are probably like, fucking come
on now. And what that tells me is that even in
the studio with unlimited retakes, they couldn't
get Karl Palmer to keep it a steady tempo. He
always sped up and they always had to rein him
back in. And there's, well, maybe it was intentional.
No, it wasn't intentional. I'll tell you one
guy that would never do that is Ginger Baker.
He was fucking anal about his stuff. Oh, yeah.
I think that's part of the reason people didn't
like him is because he held everyone to the same
standard he held himself. Well, he was kind of
insufferable, yes. Yeah, yeah. But he was such
a perfectionist that made him insufferable. Kind
of like Buddy Rich. Buddy Rich, yeah. Another
good one. Yep. There's the old joke of when Buddy
Rich passed away, this musician saw it in the
newspaper. Slash was on Eddie Trunk's Trunk Nation
the other day. Eddie asked Slash if they planned
on doing any U .S. dates next year. Slash's reply
was, yes, we are doing a U .S. tour next year
as well as another album. He said they have more
than enough material for a full album. This is
great news for all the Guns N' Roses fans, including
myself. So he called up Buddy Rich's home. And
the woman answers the phone. He said, is Buddy
Rich there? And she said, oh, no, I'm sorry to
tell you, but Buddy passed away. We buried him
yesterday. He's like, oh, okay, thanks. And he
hangs up. He waits a few minutes and calls her
again. He said, buddy, please. And she says,
he's gone. He died a few days ago, and we've
already had the funeral, so buddy's gone. He
said, okay, thanks. And he hangs up, waits a
few more minutes, calls her up again. Hey, I'd
like to talk to buddy. And she recognizes his
voice, and she says. I've already told you. He's
dead. He's gone. He's not coming back. He's deceased.
He's buried. He's in the ground. Why do you keep
calling me? And the guy said, I just love hearing
you say it. Oh! Well, you see, that's funny,
but then again, she had nothing to do with what
you're doing. Yeah. From what I read, he was
that kind of a guy. He would strike anybody's
anger because of things like, you know. James
Brown as well. Oh, James Brown, yeah. A lot of
his is fueled by alcohol and drugs and stuff.
You make one little mistake and he fired you
on the spot. Yeah. Boom, gone out. Yeah. The
rumor was if he was hungover, he would come in
and he would start firing people because he didn't
feel like it. Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Okay, what were
we on now? I lost track. I lost track, too. Okay,
I got some stuff. Sure, go ahead. How about Change
the Station songs? Oh, yeah. These are songs.
This was voted. This was an actual poll. These
are songs that if they come on the radio, most,
well, a good number of people change it. Yeah.
The first one, We Built This City by Starship.
It is. It is so campy, especially like, it's
good morning here in the Bay Area and all that.
Yeah, the voiceover by the DJ was such a bad
choice. Horrible, horrible. Yeah. Well, Grace
Slick admitted that the whole album was designed
from the ground up to be nothing but hits and
make a shit ton of money because she intended
for that to be her last album and last tour.
Oh, okay, that makes sense. And she said, I want
to go out with a lot of money, and I want something
that's going to keep earning me mailbox money
for a while. So it did. It took a while. A whole
corporate rock album. It took a while, but, man,
they get all kinds of mailbox money off of that
now. Right now that song, We Built This City,
is being used to sell toilet paper. We quilted
this city. Well, and it's pretty much became
the gay national anthem over. over uh we are
the champions yeah you know and how that happened
i'm not sure but it became a gay national anthem
so all right the next one would be achy breaky
heart oh god yes yeah oh yeah that's horror and
it's not even he didn't even write that song
it's a remake i know it is people don't know
it though it is a remake and then his daughter
went on to do I mean, it's not even comparable.
Yeah, he's like a little insect in the dust compared
to her career. Oh, yeah. Well, she started out
as Hannah Montana and then went into Miley Cyrus.
And then she went insane. And now I presume she's
still insane. They just told her to stop. And
rumors persist about what a perverted, sadistic
scumbag Billy Ray Cyrus is. Yeah, I'd heard that
too. I mean, I don't know, but yeah. And a lot
of people quietly talk behind their hands that
he basically raped the snot out of Miley growing
up. Yeah, this is allegedly, and we don't know
for sure. Yeah, don't know for sure, but those
stories and rumors have never, ever died down.
No, they say that, so yeah. The next one would
be A Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney.
Oh, God. I agree. You know, the funny story about
that is that the company that made the synthesizer
that he played on that thought, this is great.
You know, we'll have Paul McCartney using our
product on a song. And all he used it for was
that same little, like, do -do -do -do, do -do
-do -do, over and over and over. I think it was
Roland or something. The company was, like, utterly
pissed. Yeah, I think it was Roland. They were
so pissed. It was like, it's our flagship product,
and that's what he does with it. People are going
to think we're a joke. It's like, we want compositions,
not that. Well, to me, that was the difference
between Paul McCartney and John Lennon. John
Lennon went into writing intricate stuff. Paul
McCartney went into writing pop songs. Yep, radio
-friendly pop songs. Okay. That's his choice,
but I don't really respect that. I never really
cared for his... I liked some of the wings, but
that was it. Some of the wing stuff was good.
But other than that, he was starting to go that
way. And I think that's when he felt direct competition
with John Lennon. But then after John Lennon
was killed, pretty much just pop. Alright, how
about My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion. That
song hurts me even in my head. It's so overplayed
and so overblown. And it's not all that great
a song to begin with. If it was never associated
with that movie, it never would have gone anywhere.
No, I agree. Yeah. Yeah, that's all you can say
about that. It's a really good movie, and it
has dragged that pathetic song along behind it
for too long. And if it wasn't for that movie,
that song would have never done shit. Nope. Bottom
line. How about the Macarena? Oh, God. And we
know what the Macarena is about because you explained
it. Yes. I think they need to have an English
translation of that song every time it's performed
where she sings about her boyfriend's overseas
deployed in wartime so she's fucking his two
buddies who are draft dodgers at the same time.
What a great song to have your kids dance to.
And how about those two old fuckers that do the
Macarena? Oh, my God. Yeah. Yeah. They're probably
allegedly pedophiles. Yeah, allegedly. Allegedly,
but I have my own thoughts on it. Yeah. Yeah.
How about the final countdown? Oh, God. Europe.
Europe, that's the... Oh, God. Horrid. Joey Tempest
and a fucking smile. It was held up as the poster
song for safe hair band music. Yes, because...
Oh, this is safe and friendly and it's okay for
your kids to listen to. And that's because Shock
Rock was still part of the hair metal band and
stuff. You know, yeah. The fringe bands, you
know, like Wasp and stuff like that. No one wanted
to let their kids go see Wasp or Twisted Sister.
It's like, oh, Europe, they're so nice and friendly
and they're so fun. Yeah, yeah. But it's the
kiss of death when your parents like it. Really,
how come Europe really, they did okay, but they
never got huge. And that's because they were
too safe. I mean, at least Whitesnake had Tawny
Contain with hardly anything on, spreading out
on top of a bed or something, you know. That's
a good point. A lot of bands fail because they
never take chances. Yeah, exactly, yep. Yeah.
They just get boring. And also, I think that
David Covido being a part of Deep Purple for
a while actually gave them a little credit, a
little street credit. This bad boy outlaw band
that did all this shit. Yeah. Of course, I'll
listen to any band with Ainsley Dunbar drumming.
Oh, fuck yeah. Yep. And that was White Steak's
first incarnation. And then they took over. Aldridge.
Tommy Aldridge. He left Ozzy, did something in
between, and then went to Whitesnake. Yeah, before
that he was in the Pat Travers band. Yeah, he
was. His first time I saw him was Pat Travers.
I enjoy the hell out of Aldridge. I think he's
a great drummer. He doesn't really get that much
credit. No, he really doesn't, but at the time
he was about the most fluid. drummer playing
in that fast, intricate style. Because I hadn't
heard a whole lot of Neil Peart yet. Neil Peart's
Neil Peart. I remember the concert at Royal Stadium
back in, what, 79? I think it was. Pat Travers
opened. And then the Little River Band. And then
Santana. And then REO Speedwagon. They just had
that on the KY102 Remembrance page. Summer Jam,
maybe? Yeah. And the heavens just... opened up
in rain when REO came on. Riding the storm out?
They started with riding the storm out. They
never start with riding the storm out. But since
it started storming, they're like, here you go.
I bet that crowd went nuts. You better believe
it. A lot of times during the show, the stadium
kept turning the lights on and trying to end
the show because you could see the stage was
getting soaked. There were leaks coming down.
Players were getting wet. And Kevin Cronin stepped
off the mic and said, are you guys done yet?
And everyone was, no. Well, you tell them to
turn those fucking lights off because we're staying.
And the crowd screamed for about 30, 45 seconds,
and the lights went back out. And the band kept
going. And Kevin Cronin is still playing. Yes,
he is. REO retired, but Kevin Cronin is still
playing REO stuff. Yeah. And honestly. Who gives
a shit? Kevin Cronin has always been the voice.
He's got that voice that nobody, you know. I
mean, ever since High Infidelity and all that
classic stuff. You can tune a piano. Yeah, tune
a piano, but you can't tune a fish. Yep. Yeah,
all that stuff you remember in the back of Friends
Monte Carlo? Yeah. Fucking smashed. Yep, trying
to get a rub from the fucking chick next to you.
Here's how long ago that concert was. On the
way home, we drove down Raytown Road to get to
Grandview because Longview Lake hadn't been built
yet. Oh, wow. So the road we rove on when a friend
of mine took me home is underwater now. Yeah.
It's at the bottom of the lake. Yeah, it is.
It is. I know that road well, yeah. I think Longview
came into existence like 85, maybe, something
like that. And they thought it would take a couple
years to fill. Oh, it took us one good rainstorm.
One good rainstorm, and it was already there.
Already full. Yep. All the way up. Because Turkey
Creek and what was the other creek? There's Little
Mouse. Little Mouse, and then there's another
one. Little Blue, I think. Little Blue, Indian
Creek. Yeah. Tomahawk Creek. There are several
creeks that go into there, and every one of them
flooded bad. And a lot of drainage area that
drains down in there. There's a whole big swampy
area back there that's excellent for fishing,
but you can't get there unless you're in an inflatable
raft. Yeah, because there's part of the lake
essentially, but not the gutter. Kind of looks
like the Everglades in a way, back in there.
It's Missouri's Everglades. With no alligators.
Even better. What we think. Allegedly. Yeah,
allegedly. It's the new morphed alligators from
Asia. They have six eyes and two mouths. And
they like to trick humans. They wear clothes
and hats. And then when they come up to you,
then they eat you. You can tell by the puddle
of water sitting around them. Yeah, yeah, that's
how I identify them. Wait a minute, that guy's
all wet and his clothes are wrinkly like you
just ate somebody and threw them on. No, I'll
pass. Oh, those must be the reptilians that the
conspiracy theory is talking about. You know
what's weird about that? I just realized there's
an episode of Doctor Who that plays right into
that. They probably got that. They may have gotten
it from that. But yeah, in this episode of Doctor
Who, I forget what timeline of the planet it
is, but under the planet is a whole reptilian
race that used to live on the surface, but migrated
underground, and then let the humans take over
the surface and are using this food. Ah, okay.
So that was the plot of this Doctor Who episode.
and eventually he made some sort of friendly
arrangement agreement with the queen of the lizard
people and she wound up showing up in a few more
episodes with her little pet human that she kept
brought around with her. She liked her too much,
she wasn't going to eat her yet. You're safe
for now. Yes. So I don't know which came first,
the conspiracy theory of reptile people among
us or that episode. I don't know. The reptile
people have been around at least since the early
90s, if not before. But I know Doctor Who was,
what, 70s? Yeah, it's been around in several
different incarnations since the 60s. Yeah, that's
what I thought. This is one of the more recent
ones, but yeah, who knows. Oh, it is a more recent
one? Yeah, they had a reboot around 2009 or 2010.
Okay, all right. They probably did get it from
that then. Yeah. Okay. All right, the next one
would be All I Want for Christmas is You. Of
course, Mariah Carey. Or the demon masquerading
as Mariah Carey. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's common
knowledge. She's a demon. Yeah, and her purpose
is to get you to hate Christmas because she over
-sings that song and makes you hate the song,
therefore you hate Christmas, and it plays right
into the enemy's plans. Allegedly, the only reason
she got her music career was because of Tommy
Mottola and sleeping with him. But that's allegedly.
And allegedly, after she broke up with him, she
didn't have a career. Wow, weird. I don't believe
any of this stuff. Amazing how that allegedly
happens. I know, just allegedly, yeah. Yeah,
you hear stuff all the time, right? Yeah. All
right, the next one. Who let the dogs out? Oh,
yeah. Yeah, Baja, man. Yeah, I would leave any
place. I would leave a surgery if the doctor,
the surgeon was playing that. I'd jump up and
go, no, no. How about Photograph Nickelback?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, not the good Photograph. Yeah,
not the one by Def Leppard. Yeah, there's also
one by Ringo Starr. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like
that song too. Yeah, that was a nice song. Yeah,
I think Ringo Starr will never get the credit
he deserves. On the other hand, Ringo Starr got
away with one. Because remember his song, You're
16, You're Beautiful in Your Mind? Oh, yeah,
that's right. Pervert. Pervert. It was an old
man drooling over a 16 -year -old and then singing
about it on the radio. I don't want to hear it.
Well, Christine 16. I mean, it was widely known
back then. Kip Winger has a song called She's
Only 17. Yes. There are so many songs about young
girls. Evidently, this stuff has been going on
for a long time. Yeah. There's a police song,
Don't Stand So Close to Me. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's
about obsession. A teacher lusting after one
of his students. Yep. Yeah. It's all over the
place. And that's from that nice boy, Sting.
Yes. Apparently, the other two can't stand anymore.
No, no, no. He's a pompous asshole, which we
knew. Allegedly. Allegedly. All right. Baby Shark
by Pink Fong. Yes. Yeah. Pretty bad. What was
it? Baby Shark or something like that. Something
fucking horrible. Okay. All right. All right.
The Oh No Not Again. Brown Eyed Girl. Uh -huh.
Yeah. Van Morrison, of course. Yeah. And someone
else played that, too. I can't think of who it
was. But anyhow, the most famous one that you
hear on any classic rock station USA would be...
By Van Morrison. There was a rumor that originally
it was Brown Skinned Girl. Yeah, I don't think
it was. I don't think it was true, but the rumor
was it would never get a radio airplay. Well,
Brown Sugar is still played everywhere, and just
listen to the lyrics. I will tell you what that
song's about. It's about slavery in the U .K.
Brought and sold in New Orleans. Yeah, well,
the U .S., yeah, New Orleans. Another one is
Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl. Yes. About the drummer
dating a black girl. I'm in love with a cinnamon
girl. Yeah, it's amazing some of these songs,
or now to this day you can still hear the who
the fuck are you loud and clear as day on any
radio station. David Lee Roth snuck one into
the song Everybody Wants Some. at the ending
where you see something like, yeah, I always
kind of like those high -heeled shoes. No, no,
no, leave them on, don't leave them on, don't
take them off. And at the very end, just as the
song is trailing out, he's saying, look, I'll
pay you for them, what the fuck? Yeah, yeah.
And that's my favorite part of the song. And
the song's going, tune it down, and he goes,
what the fuck? Did you know the song Ain't Talkin'
About Love, off their first album, major hit?
Yeah, I love it, it's a good song. Eddie Van
Halen wrote that. as a diss track to punk. Oh,
I think I read something about that. Yeah, because
he was talking about punk rock. He said they
get like two, three chords, and they just bash
those same two, three chords over and over, and
they call it music. But that song is good, though.
It's two chords. Yeah. A and G. That's it. Never
goes anywhere. Wow. You go A, A, G, then just
a little... See, and that's the difference between
a songwriter and someone that just plays guitar.
Yeah. Eddie Van Halen was a magnificent songwriter.
Plus, maybe the greatest guitarist ever. I mean,
that can be argued, but you know. All right.
Old time rock and roll. Oh, God. Yeah, the Bobster.
Oh, God. I've played that so many times, it just
makes my teeth fall out. When you first hear
that piano run, it's like, no. Oh, God. It's
like, no, no, I'm done. I'm done. It's so boring
for a drummer, too. It's like, thump, whack,
thump, whack, thump, whack, thump, and you just
never stop. It's so boring, it's not even hypnotizing.
No. You know how some beats will be pretty plain
but hypnotizing? Yeah. I mean, John Bonham was
fucking classic at that. I mean, his stuff was
just like polarizing, but nothing special. But
even like a disco beat is super simple, but at
least it's fast enough to get you excited. But
it's fast and catches your attention. Yeah. Old
time rock and roll just plods along. It's like
a blues song gone wrong. Yeah. It's like, let's
speed this blues song up a little bit. I liked
it the first five or six times I heard it. And
then after that, it's like, all right, that's
enough. Yeah, there's just not enough there to
keep my interest. It's an overrated song. It
is. It always has been an overrated song. All
right. Don't Stop Believing. Oh, yeah. And, I
mean, look. I mean, the song was gone and buried
until the Sopranos did their last episode, the
Fade to Black. And then it came back as the number
one hit. And now it's been torturing us ever
fucking since. Yeah. Yeah. And there's also the
porn version of that song, Don't Stop Conceiving.
Oh, yeah, yeah. I like that one better. I like
that one better. Hold on to that semen. Yeah.
Don't ever let it drip out. You never know if
that's a drop that gets through. Mash that shit
back in there. She's just a small town girl making
money on OnlyFans. She shows her asshole for
it. $30 a month. You can see your butthole anywhere.
All right, next bit. Write it down. All right.
Mambo No. 5, Lubega. Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I
don't know what else to say about that. Yuck.
How about Barbie Girl by Aqua? Yeah. Yeah, that's
another horrible one. And then finally. I agree.
100 % cannot concur more. It is a Hanson mmm
bop. Yeah. Yeah. Those little chicks, I tell
you what. Yeah. Well, I've got my list of songs
that will make you leave a bar. Oh, cool. Cool.
Well, first off, anything that's edited or shortened.
Yes. I'm glad you said that. It just pisses me
right off. Yep. It's like I want my money back
because that's not the whole song. Okay, I've
got some, too. Do you want to do back and forth?
Yeah. Okay. I agree with you. I hate shortened
songs. It's like, no, you do that on the radio,
nothing else. And Spotify is doing it now, too,
which pisses me off. It's like, no, Spotify.
No, you don't do this. Series XM is doing it.
Oh, yeah, I kind of figured. Yeah, they're, yeah.
I don't know, get to the commercial break faster?
I don't know. People that buy radio like that
and buy Spotify like that want the full song.
They don't get it. Absolutely. These are music
bands. That's why they're buying it. They want
the full song. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, this is off
of me and Mac's prank that went so well. It's
R .E .M., Shiny Happy People. Oh, yeah. I hear
that and I'm going, not just because of the song,
but the clientele that's going to follow. Yeah,
obnoxious fucking ironic fucking poets. No, thank
you. That dark -haired chick from the B -52s,
she sang on that song, and she was interviewed
later, and she said, Michael Stipe is so weird.
I never want to work with that guy again. I don't
care how much it pays. I'm never working with
that guy again. There's something really off
about you. When people start, stop talking about
his health, he was looking frail and he was staying
out of the spotlight. And the rumor was he had
AIDS or something or cancer. And then when people
quit asking, he was pissed off because people.
Kept asking him. And then when they quit asking
him, he got mad because they quit asking him.
It's like, what is it, asshole? Do you want people
to ask you or not? All right. My next one is
Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffett. Oh, God. How
could I have missed that one? Oh, God. You talk
about someone that built an empire on nothing.
I remember that song. 50 years ago in 1975. Yeah.
It was just like, what the hell is this? You
got all the parrot heads. Whenever that comes
on, they act like it's the first time they heard
it. Have you ever been to a Jimmy Buffett concert?
I haven't. No, I never planned on it. Well, I
can't now. Yeah. The bass player I used to work
with, Kurt, and his wife used to go to Jimmy
Buffett concerts. But even he said, you know,
the parrot heads, you know, follow them around.
It's mostly drunk -ass moms in their 40s. So
that's pretty much the core audience. Yeah. And
they're out there hammered off their heads, wobbling
and waving around. They're in Johnson County
and think they're real rebels. Yep. They drive
up in their fucking... Acura and Beamer. Yeah,
their Escalades. Yeah. I'm a real rebel. Look,
I'm wearing leather. Yeah. I got a Harley at
home. Yeah. You get some in -her -forties mom
throwing her ass around like she's 17. Yeah.
It's like, stop. You're past that. It's no longer
valid for you to do. Now, when I was in my 40s,
I thought 40 -year -old women were hot. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. Now that I'm in my 60s, I think 60
-year -old women are hot. It's weird how that
happens. It is. The no fucks on me came all of
a sudden. Yeah, you know what? Yeah, you know
what? Yeah. I think I could. And, you know, I
look at a woman in her 20s and 30s and think,
I have nothing in common with her. That's what
I do, too, because I always think about that,
too, man. If I suddenly thrown back into the
dating pool and I got introduced to a younger
one that was interested, I'm like, what would
you say? I know. You start. Yeah, it would really
be, yeah. I'm very happy to not be dating. Me
too. Well, you've got a fantastic wife, and so
do I, so we are lucky. We both married way up.
We did, yes. Yeah, we know it, and we respect
it. Yep, we know this. All right, your turn.
Hopefully you'll listen to this one, right? Yeah.
My next one would be Nickelback, Doesn't Matter.
It does not matter. It's kind of like Limp Bizkit.
Limp Bizkit's the same thing. You get that and
it's like, I'm gone. You call me when they quit
playing this bullshit and I might consider coming
back. It's the kind of music that makes you start
praying for a blackout. Or death. God, if you're
going to take me soon, just go into it right
now so I don't have to endure this song. I remember
when I worked at the Rosedale station, they'd
have a radio playing, and sometimes it was a
really, really obnoxious song, and I'd tell the
person next to me, please, either go change the
radio station or just kill me. Either one, it
doesn't matter. I have to promote it in a while,
I probably better. All right, we're getting our
picture taken. Yeah, there we go. A brief pause
for picture taking. All right. All right, my
next one, Freebird. Oh, yes, yes. Heard that
way too many times. And, you know, the majority
of these songs, it's not that I object to the
artist or the band or something. It's just that
I've heard them so many times, and they really
weren't all that much to begin with. I mean,
Freebird's a really good song. It is, but, I
mean, it's enough. Enough. Yeah. All right, my
next one would be Sean Cassidy, the do -run -run.
Oh, yeah. I remember hearing that for the first
time, and I remember thinking, is he really on
the radio saying, do -run -run -run, do -run
-run? I thought, how does anyone think that's
cool? I don't know. Baby talk on the radio. I
think it was a way for Sean Cassidy to shake
his ass on video, and women buy it. Now, when
I heard the original version of a girl group
from, like, the 60s singing it, that sounded
kind of cute. But for a teenage boy to sing it,
it just sounded creepy. Yes. It just really did.
All right, my next one up is Who Let the Dogs
Out? Oh, boy. Man, okay. Yeah, that one's fucking
horrible. Yeah. I agree with that one. Matchbox
20, Anything. Anything, Matchbox 20, yep. I'm
going to go with Thunder Rolls by Garth Brooks.
Oh, yeah. There was one summer where everywhere
my band played, that was on the jukebox about
six times a night. I was so sick of that. It
got to the point where we'd go up to start playing
again at the end of the break and that song would
be on. We'd just start playing along with it
and drown it out. That was actually kind of fun.
Oh, God. I used to spend good money drowning
that shit out. Yeah, yeah. Yep. All right. My
next one would be ABBA. Oh, yes. Dancing Queen.
Yeah. Specifically, but really, actually, there's
a lot of ABBA songs that would fit that bill.
Yeah, yeah. But Dancing Queen is probably my
most annoying one. Yeah. I'm going to go with...
The Ugly Kid Joe version of Cats in the Cradle.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I like the original, but I don't
want to hear it anymore. No, I don't either.
The Ugly Kid Joe version, I skip over it every
time it comes up. It's horrible. Nope, nope,
nope, nope, nope, nope, not that one. It's just
not good. No. There's nothing very good about
it. There's so many better songs on that CD,
too. It was America's Least Wanted. Yeah, that
was a great CD, and Hate Everything About You
became a huge hit. Yeah, but like Busy B and
Come Tomorrow, they were much better songs. Come
Tomorrow was a really good... Well, actually,
yeah, that whole album was pretty solid. Yeah,
well, except for the final track, Music Man,
which was just garbage and throwaway. Yeah, that
was. I think the drummer wanted to sing one on
the album, so they put that piece of crap on
the album. They should have made it a bonus track.
They should have. Do you know how they got their
name? No. Oh, yes. Yes, I think I do. Yeah, okay.
They were opening up for Pretty Boy Floyd, and
they didn't have a name. So they're like, well,
we're not glam like those guys. We're kind of
ugly. Ugly Kid Joe. That's how they got their
name. That's pretty good. Yeah, it was really
good. I enjoyed their name like that. It's just
kind of like, let's do the opposite. All right.
Is it Mike? It's your turn. Okay. My next one
would be Baby Shark. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know
if you're going to hear that in a bar, but if
you do, you're running. Yeah. Yeah. Because you
don't know what's coming up next, and it's time
to go. This next one, Highway Song by Blackfoot.
Yeah, yeah. It is basically the exact same song
as Freebird. but with different chords and different
words. It really is. The structure is exactly
the same. You know, a long, slow beginning part
with a line they repeat over and over, and then
it builds up into the fast part, and they go
through, you know, just the same, and they have
a stop and a breakdown in the middle, just like
in Freebird. It's just like they copy Freebird.
Yeah, and also the song's not that good. It's
kind of long and overdrawn out, and just kind
of like just keeps going on, and really doesn't
have a point to me. Yeah, yeah, Skinner's zone,
won't you fly, free bird, fly. And Blackfoot
is saying, it's a highway song, going on and
on, on and on. It was really horrible. It's just
so awful. And then Freebird became something
that it wasn't. It was like, oh, this was their
song saying they were going to die because they
made a pact with the devil. Yeah. Yeah. It actually
has nothing to do with that. You can't even stretch
it to make it. No. Okay. Oh, this is their saying
that. Look, look. They said Freebird. Yeah, that's
what it means. Okay. Yeah. All right. My next
one would be Achy Breaky Heart. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah. Yeah. All Summer Long, Kid Rock. Oh, yeah.
It's basically Sweet Home Alabama with stupid
words on top of it. We were 1969. We were young.
Let's see. We were young and crazy things, smoking
crazy things or something like that. Yeah, something
like that. My favorite part is where he tries
to rhyme the word bottle and tomorrow. Oh, yeah.
It does not work. Yeah, we were drinking from
the bottle, not worried about tomorrow. So either
it's bottle and to model, or it's borrow and
tomorrow. But to try to make it pretend that
that rhymes, it's just, it's bad songwriting.
It's lazy, sloppy songwriting. And personally,
I think we deserve better than that kind of knockoff
shit. Put some effort into it. Oh yeah, I agree.
And also, I mean, actually his whole career was
kind of built on really just kind of being...
Everything he wasn't. Yeah, everything he wasn't,
yeah. He claimed he was, you know, some southern
poor kid, grew up in the... He's from Michigan,
which he admitted in the song, you just said
the name of it. And his parents were fairly wealthy.
Yeah, and his parents were actually... So he
had a very wealthy, privileged childhood, but
then he came off as, Oh, I'm Kid Rock. I'm from
the street. At least Eminem really did have a
bad... Eminem was legitimate. He had a story,
yeah. Kid Rock was a poser. Yeah. He still is.
I agree. All right. That was... Yeah, Ivan, it's
your turn. The Macarena. Yeah. Of course. The
Macaroni. Yeah. Here's the good one. The Chicken
Dance. If that comes on, I'm leaving the bar.
I think I got that on here, actually. Even if
I've paid for a drink and it's on its way, I'm
still leaving. I'm sticking around for the chicken
dance. I'm picking the coolest guy in there and
saying, give the drink to him. Now, it's kind
of funny seeing people do it on TV shows, but
in real life, it's just, wow, cringe. It's just
such a cringe fest. Oh, it is. My next one is
Marilyn Monroe, I Just Want to Be Loved by You.
Oh, yeah. I just want to be loved by you. Marilyn
Monroe could not sing. No, no, no. Yeah. Here's
another one, YMCA. Ooh, yeah. Yeah. Horrible.
I remember when people used to flood the dance
floor and start forming the letters over their
heads. That's how popular it was. My wife can
still do it. I wanted to flamethrower so bad
about them. Oh, yeah. Yeah, just like burn them
all up. That's what you get. I remember at the
beginning when that song got popular, the actual
YMCA objected to their name being used in the
song. I do remember that. Especially to supposedly
promote the gay lifestyle. But then they realized...
Oh, shit, this is excellent advertising. People
are talking about this. Plus, they couldn't stop
them. Yeah, there's really nothing you can do.
You can have a good meal. You can get yourself
clean. You can hang out with all the boys. A
little innuendo there. No girls, just boys. Well,
that's at the YWCA. Oh, yeah, that's right. I'd
rather be there. Where they eat at the Y. With
all the bad girls. Okay. All right. What's new
pussycat? Tom Jones. Tom Jones is always a bad
choice. The man is supposedly with the hugest
penis in music. Yeah. Another Welsh singer. Yeah.
What was the song I heard from him the other
day? It was a slower ballad song. It was on a
reaction video, and the guy just nailed it. It
was just so awesome. Oh, no. It was a slower,
more relaxed written song. It came off a lot
better. I could see that being a little bit better
than, what's new, what's a gap? Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Nah, nah, no, no, no. The last one I have is
All Star by Smash Mouth. Oh, yes. Oh, so overrated.
You're an all -star. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,
stupid song. And that was when, the only reason
that song was big is because music didn't know
what it was doing at the time. Rock music was
in shambles because grunge just fell apart at
the seams. And they were actively trying to destroy
it now after, I agree with Billy Corgan 100%.
They were trying to destroy it. Corporate rock
was trying to destroy it to more controllable
subjects, which I agree. So, yeah. All right,
my next one. I was going to say, we did see them
shift to suddenly music was created by sequencers
and machines. not real musicians anymore. It
was all sorts of machines making the music and
then a singer. And that's what they wanted. That's
what they wanted. They wanted one person creating
all of it. And then you give the song to the
person you elected to be the superstar. And they
do what you say because they would not be the
superstar without you. And they take the pay
that you give them. And then you give songwriting
credits to like five or six different people.
So the person on the album barely makes any money.
So they have to keep working for you. Yes, they
have to keep working. You see how that works?
You become a wage slave. You're making millions,
but you're still a wage slave. Yeah, and people
thought that destruction of record companies
was going to lead to people getting better deals.
No, it's worse. Metallica, anything from Lode
on. Yeah, yeah. They just, oh. Career suicide.
If you want to see a definition, that's Metallica.
And you know, if Hetfield and Ulrich hadn't been
so wasted, they would have done a lot better
job of steering that band into creative ways.
I didn't know that then, but I'm getting that
now. Especially when they did that big special
on them in rehab and stuff. It's like, that's
why their music started sucking. It's because
they were too messed up. They couldn't really
do it. Yeah. And if they hadn't been so messed
up, they wouldn't have picked on Jason Newsted
so much, and he probably would have stayed in
the band. He had nothing to do with Cliff Burton
dying. No. They were so bitter about it. I mean,
they were trying to kill the bus driver, and
the bus driver said it was icy, and there's other
people that said, yeah, it was icy. Hey there,
slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News.
Hey, my little pumpkin seeds, this is Johnny
Rohypnol with your music news. John Karabi, former
lead singer of Motley Crue and The Scream, has
a new album coming out on April 24th called New
Day. You can pre -order the album online. The
effort features guitars like Richard Fortis from
Guns N' Roses, Paul Taylor from winger Steve
Perry on keyboards, Marty Freckerson, producer
and multi -instrumentalist. and Charlie Starr
from Blackberry Smoke on guitar solos, alongside
Evan Preckerson on drums and bass. This should
be a pretty good album. Sure has a lot of talent
to go with it. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That
was your music news. And remember, bar chords
are bullshit. It was not. You fell asleep. They're
trying to blame his death on something besides
just a freak accident. Well, Hetfield said he
walked back along the road looking for the ice
and never found it. But who knows if that's true.
I don't know if that's true or not because who
was it? One of the equipment guys or something
that was on the bus with him said, no, it was
icy in spots, and it probably was just an accident.
Yeah, and once the bus gets sideways, it's going
to flip. Yes, and also that was almost the guitarist,
what's his name? Hammond. Yeah, that was almost
his spot. Yeah, yeah, because he lost a poker
game. And Clifford actually offered it to him
anyhow. He said, no, you can have it. Hammond
said, no, no, no, no, you want it. It's yours.
And that person that was in that upper cabin
there was the one that would slip out and land
under the bus. And the bus landed on him. And
then when they tried to pick the bus up, it slipped
out of the crane and landed on him again. I know.
I don't think he was alive, fortunately. No,
no. Because he would not have been after that.
But that would still have been a really horrible
thing to see. Oh, yeah, because they're standing
there. They're like, you know. Get my friend
out. Get my, ooh. Oh, yeah. It's like, forget
it. Yeah. Real big fish sell out. Yeah. Yeah,
that was fun for a couple of times listening.
Now I have no interest in it at all. Everybody
hurts. Yeah, yeah. Time of your life. Yes. Green
Day. You talk about a horrible song that people
think are great. I think most of Green Day's
material is that. It's shit that people thought,
oh, these guys are so punk. No, they're not.
I tried telling a friend of mine, he goes, oh,
he got so mad when they called him pop punk.
And I go, he is pop. He was pop punk. They are.
What do you call pop music? Popular music. Green
Day sold a lot of albums. That would make it
pop. Yeah. And the definition they use is punk.
Pop punk. You could say pop with a few punk influences.
Yeah. But they were nothing to do with punk.
No. Not at all. No, no, no. Punk is anti that.
Punk is five people at your show fucking throwing
stuff at you. Nirvana was punk. Yes, they were,
and then it got kind of promoted into grunge.
Yeah. And that's all they wanted to do. They
wanted to do punk music, and that's one of the
reasons why Kurt Cobain was ready to quit. Yeah.
He was like, you know, this turned into something
I didn't want it to, and record companies making
all this money, and I despise them. Yeah. Yeah,
I think that's what pissed Kurt off the most,
is that... He was making so much money, but other
people were siphoning it away. Yeah. And he was
thinking, I don't want to be here being used
by them to get rich. I'd rather do nothing than
help make them rich. You're talking about a band
that turned down Guns N' Roses in their prime.
Yeah. They were doing stadiums. They're like,
hey, Guns N' Roses came and said, we want you
to open up for us. And they're like, no. No.
You're not our people. Yeah. That's what they
said. They said, you guys are corporate rock.
We are not. Yeah. And then they became corporate
rock because, not because of them, but because
Geffen signed them. Yeah. You know, so. All right.
Nothing compares to you. Oh, gosh. Yeah. And
then my final one, Leif Garrett. I was made for
dancing. Whoa. You're talking about a bowl of
shit. Yeah. Hot, steaming, and chunky. Yes. All
right. Your turn. All right. Remember Kip Winger?
Yep. Bass player, little short guy. He became
the... Great smile. Yep. He became the poster
boy for everything that was wrong with glam and
hair metal and all that stuff. Beavis and Bud
had made fun of him, etc. Constantly ridiculed
him. Well, it turns out he ain't doing too bad.
Oh, no, I know. Actually, go ahead. When grunge
unseated hair metal at the dawn of the 1990s,
many metalers suddenly found themselves out of
work. Piff Wigger was one of the first ones.
Yeah. Because they were ostracized so bad by,
you know, stuff like Beavis and Butthead. Yeah.
And like... One or two years earlier, he had
left the Alice Cooper group. He was part of the
stage band. Yeah. And here he's going solo, put
his first album out, which kind of did okay.
I think he did double platinum, which is actually
pretty... I mean, at the time, it wasn't nearly
as good as it sounds now. You're right. It went
platinum. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let me get ahead
here. Few felt the sting more than Kip Winger,
the singer, bass player, and guitarist for the
band Winger. Almost overnight, he became a punchline,
most famously mocked on the animated hit Beavis
and Butthead. Ironically, Winger became commercially
successful just as the tide was turning. Their
88 self -titled album went platinum thanks to
the hit 17, which was about lusting after a little
girl. She's only 70. He landed the group's support
slots with the likes of Bad Company, Cinderella,
Bon Jovi, and Poison. Those are not bad. The
Bad Company one is the one that kind of got me.
It was like, wow. Yeah, that just seemed like
a good fit. Yeah, Bad Company was 70s no -nonsense
rock. Yeah, so that makes it sound like Bad Company
was trying to get some younger fans. They were,
they were, yeah. The follow -up 1990s album In
the Heart of the Young also topped one million
U .S. sales, but as the band found itself in
the spotlight, it also experienced the backlash
that came with Hair Metal's sudden fall from
favor. Quote, Kip was chosen as the poster child
of all things to make fun of in hair bands, former
winger drummer Rod Morgenstern tells 101RF. He
was so unfairly treated as a talentless hack.
Now, I remember Rod Morgenstern, he played for
the Dixie Chicks, not Dixie Chicks, the Dixie
Dregs. Roda Morgenstern's brother. Roda, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mary Tyler Moore and her own
show. But yeah, Rod's an awesome drummer. Since
2009, however, Winger has reinvented himself
as a composer of modern classical music. Yep,
I knew that. His debut orchestral work, Ghosts,
was written for a ballet, earned him a nomination
for an Isadora Duncan Dance Award for Excellence
in Music. Now, I've heard of Isadora Duncan.
I have, too. He followed it with the four -part
work C .F. Kip Winger Conversations with Nijinsky,
inspired by the legendary dancer and choreographer
Voslav Nijinsky. The album was nominated for
Best Classical Contemporary Composition at the
59th Annual Grammy Awards. There's no shortage
of rock and metal acts who have dabbled in orchestral
products. Bands from Deep Purple to Kiss to Metallica
have reimagined their electric guitar -driven
music with symphonies, but Winger stands apart
for composing original classic works rather than
simply arranging rock songs for orchestra. Another
one who tried it but wasn't quite as successful
is Richard Marks. Fred Curry, do you know about
him? No. He writes musical scores for Disney
and other... Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And he makes
so much money that they kept trying to get him
to come back to Cinderella, or now it's Tom Kiefer's
band or whatever. Tom Kiefer, I think. Keef.
Keef, yeah, whatever it is. um that he's like
no he's like i'm making too much money i'll never
have to drum again yeah yeah and oh my boss told
me that's one of my bigger bosses and she's a
huge icp fan although she looks like she would
not be and i told her they're playing rocklahoma
and she's like wow we're really she's actually
seen them before did you know that disney originally
signed them because they heard clowns and they
thought it was like this really kind of, I don't
know, childish clown act. And they signed them,
and then they found out what they were, and like,
oh, let's go ahead and cut our ties with those
guys. I was like, that is fucking beautiful.
That's awesome. I have some bullet points. Okay,
good. All right. Where is the music industry
headed? I think we're going to see a lot more
of the... Kind of corporate -driven, pre -manufactured
music coming out with just singers over a bunch
of pre -made crap. I agree. We're going to see
giant, massive tours. that are super spectacle,
blah, blah, blah. That's where the money is.
And then there will be nothing between that and
your local band playing at the local bar. Nothing.
There will be nothing in between. There will
be no more acts coming at small clubs, no more
acts touring at the smaller medium venues. They're
already getting pinched out as it is. You just
can't afford it anymore. And one of the big parts
is the insurance. The insurance is just getting
enormous. Well, how about like Wasp, okay? I
have to go to Wichita and Tulsa to see them.
I can never see them in Kansas City. That's because
the insurance around here is too high. You get
to Wichita or Tulsa, smaller metroplexes, and
the insurance is much lower along with the rent.
But the rent is part of the insurance. It's all
figured in. So you have to play the Tulsa Ballroom
and the Cotillion instead of the Uptown Theater.
That's the difference. Yeah, I think unless your
town has a local music scene, you're just not
going to see live music except for the giant,
big, spectacular concerts that are going to cost
you at least $500 for a ticket. Well, how about
like Lita Ford is playing the Kansas Crossing
Casino in Pittsburgh, and then there's other
bands like her from the 80s kind of left over
that did okay. They're playing down there for
$30 a pop. And that's because they already own
it. They already have insurance on it. So they
can go in there and fill up that place and have
people gambling. They may break even on the concert.
Maybe they'll make some money. But they have
everybody there in their hotel gambling for a
couple of days. Yeah, that's going to be another
good source for places to play. As you said,
they own the venue, so it's already part of the
insurance that they're already doing. But the
separate standalones, like... Memorial you're
never gonna see concerts there anymore. It's
just too expensive. Yeah. Yeah, and so it's all
gonna be relegated to these Prairie band casino
and stuff like that out there pretty much not
in the middle of nowhere But kind of close to
it a fairly good sized city like Pittsburgh,
Kansas as a college Yeah town and it's fairly
good size, but people come from here They come
from Springfield. They come from Tulsa. They
come from Wichita, Topeka, to go there to watch
Lita Ford and Gamble. Yeah, yeah. One of the
bands I really like and would like to see live
is Monster Magnet. Oh, I would love to see them.
Love to see them live. But they tour in Europe
because live music is still supported there.
But here, they could never draw the big crowds
to make it worthwhile. So if they tour, they
go to a few small, you know, 100 to 200 seat.
clubs and do a tour like that and i'm sure they
don't make any money at all well i'm pretty sure
that's why glenn hughes was canceled his whole
tour yeah because the thing is is where he messed
up is he's doing concerts now yeah he's doing
different ones he's not doing his tour that tells
me this minor minor medical issue might have
been true yeah but not to the extent of what
they put it was a convenient excuse i'm sure
it was i'm sure and the reason is because it's
not supported over here like it is in europe
yeah you know so Oh, hey, how you doing, Franco?
How are you? Good. So? Well, I mean, Justin Fields,
what do you think? He's a good backup. I think
so, too. I think he'll be better than Minshew.
Yeah. I think a kick in the nuts is better than
Minshew. So, yeah. I've been seeing a lot, though.
They've been talking about Cameron Jordan, the
guy from the Saints. Oh, okay. I've been seeing
it. Is he a quarterback? He's a defensive end.
A defensive end, okay. He's their Perch Jones,
pretty much. Okay, I don't know that much about
him. But look, I mean, I have no choice but to
believe him. I think Spagnuolo is a genius. I
mean, they let all our defensive. But we're getting
rid of people, we're getting people. So I like
that. It's not that we're just getting rid of
people and we're saying, okay, we got this guy,
we'll try to fill the spot. I've got a great
example. They drafted all the people, they just
let go. Yeah. Yeah, they drafted all of them
and they were great. From Brian Cook to McDuffie.
All of them. Watson. Yeah, they did get a corner.
They got the corner from the Dolphins. Yes, and
he's good. And then they got a running back,
too, I think. Kenneth Walker from the Seahawks.
Yeah, and then they got a guy behind him. They
got another running back. Was he from the Dolphins,
too? I think he was from the Dolphins, maybe.
DeMarcus? DeMarco or something like that. Yeah.
I guess he's pretty good. Yeah, so I think Hunt.
Well, we know Pacheco's gone, but I think Hunt
is probably gone also. So you think to fix the
left tackle situation, are they going to do that
in the draft? Okay, the draft, supposedly, we're
getting an edge rusher. Oh, shit, I threw it
away already. Reuben something. Reuben Bain.
Oh, Bain. Reuben Bain Jr. Oh, so they're saying
that he might fall. Number nine is what they're
predicting, and that's us. Oh, okay. Personally,
from what I've seen and read, I didn't watch
him too much, but from what I've seen and read,
I think he, you know, yeah. So how do you feel
about Kenneth Walker? Oh, I love it. Love it,
love it, love it. I remember watching the Super
Bowl and going, how come we can't have a running
back that runs like that? Really? I mean, he
would have had over 200 yards if it wasn't for
that penalty. He broke that 30 -yard run. Yeah.
And made it in the end zone, and then the flag
came out. Probably a week after, no, no, either
the same week or the next week. People were talking
bad about the Chiefs on ESPN and stuff like that.
They were saying that Kenneth Walker, you know,
he's just a normal guy. There's nothing special
about him. That's what this guy was saying. It's
like, what the heck are you talking about? He's
definitely a special guy. I mean, he was the
top guy coming out of more free agents. These
are the same people that think Mahomes is average.
Oh, yeah. They think he's done with already.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, so I don't take any credibility
from that at all. I mean, honestly, I've said
this. Skip Bayless, I can't stand him. Oh, Skip
Tart? Oh, we just roasted him on the last show.
Oh, you did? Yeah, we do this thing called Bigger
Threat, and it was like, I don't know, nuclear
holocaust, global collapse, or Skip Bayless moving
in next to you and gardening in spandex shorts.
That was the biggest threat. He won by far. And
then we had like cowboy boots and spurs. And
all the little points on spurs were like little
tiny penises. And all of them looked like Shannon
Sharp's penis. Yes. Well, he's used to that.
Or Jerry Jones, either one. Or Jerry Jones, yeah.
Yeah, he's all cowboys, yeah. Oh, yeah. Skip
Tartan Bolas is what we call him. I can't remember.
Two, three years ago was, oh, man, one of the
seasons where Mahomes had a great season and
everything was, oh, Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott,
yeah. Oh, no, Prescott, yeah. This statistic
compared, it's like, dude. Yeah, I remember that.
He was trying to. Start the argument that Prescott
was at least equal to Mahomes and should be getting
all the attention Mahomes gets. I will say, Prescott,
I think he could be a good quarterback. Well,
he's a good quarterback. He just needs to get
out of Dallas. It's a decision over there. It's
like anybody that goes to the Raiders. Derek
Carr was a great quarterback. But they wasted
him? Yeah. That Prescott needs to win in the
postseason to get any credibility at all. Because
right now, he's one of the great regular season
quarterbacks, but then you get anywhere else.
I mean, he's no different than a Kirk Cousins.
Yeah, that's true. And I like Kirk Cousins a
lot. But, I mean, you get him to the next level,
and they simply cannot do it. They're not the
guy. I mean, he's got a great arm and everything,
kind of like a Trent Green. Trent Green was great,
but he – Yeah, yeah, that's a good – that's probably
– One of the best comparisons. They can't handle
elite defense, and elite defense shuts them down.
And that's it. Dak Prescott is that guy. He'll
come out there and he'll throw three interceptions
because they're knocking the shit out of him,
trying to win a game. I still think Mahomes needs
to pump the brakes a little bit. I think you're
going to maybe see that, him being 30 and a major
injury, two major injuries at once. I hope his
wife is ready. That's exactly what you just said
is exactly what me and my dad were talking about
yesterday. It's like if he rushes into it. He's
going to get injured again, and it's going to
be even worse. That's why we got Justin Fields.
That's why we gave up our sixth round. And to
me, this is where Andy Reid and the enemy need
to be coaches, and they need to say no. Well,
because the enemy's back, I think it's going
to get done, because the enemy's going to tell
him, I'm telling you no. And I hope that's what
he does. I think that is going to happen. I know
Mahomes is the greatest, or he's one of the greatest,
but. Somebody needs to tell him, hey, slow it
down. I really hope his wife is in his ear telling
him, look, I want you to have a life after football.
I want you to have a mind and a body and all
that, so quit risking it all. Do you want to
carry your kids around, or do you want to walk
your daughter down the aisle? Yeah. I mean, what
was it, the first season he dislocated his kneecap?
His first full season, yes. Was that his... I
don't know if that's the same leg or not. That's
what I was just going to say. Is that the same?
I kind of remember him having a hurt left leg
before. This time I think it's the right. I think
this is the other leg. Then the ankles. I think
he had both ankles messed up. Yeah, he did. Yeah,
he just needs to. The ankle stuff, he seems to
get over really quick. I mean, I wish more athletes
had that kind of passion like Mahomes does where
it's like, hey, I want to. you know, I want to
play. That's a great one, but there's a point.
I mean, they say it's 12 weeks to Hill, or no,
12 months to Hill from the ACL. That's a normal
person. I don't know about him. I mean, I'm just
saying, it shouldn't matter. I mean, yeah, if
he wants to practice, let him practice. They
got Justin Fields, so that tells me that they're
at least considering having someone else start.
First couple of games. Yeah, first two. I'm cool
with that. And then the first, yeah. I feel comfortable
that Phil is going to be there for those two.
I mean, because he could probably work in the
scheme that Andy Reed, you know. Oh, I think
so. We talked about this. Okay, you could do
all different kinds of stuff. You know, you could
have him be over. Alex. Oh, okay. Hey, how you
doing? I'm Mark. Good to hear. Tovert. Alex.
Hey, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. You
can even do some design trickery. You know, you
can have Mahomes and Fields in the backfield.
Yeah. And it'd be like, all right, everyone's
coming to me, Mahomes. Toss it to Fields. Fields
has a guy over here he can dump off to, or he's
got a guy way down here. You know, whatever's
open is what he does. And then that divides all
of the edges. And I mean, there's all different
kinds of stuff you can do with someone like him.
You can bring back maybe possibly the wildcat
too. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Something
kind of like that or a deviation from it. Something
that splits the pass rush. Yes. Yeah, that's
going to be big. Yeah. That would be interesting
to see what happens. Yeah, it will be. So I think
that they got Fields. They're at least entertaining
the thought of another quarterback, you know,
to kind of take some of the snaps off of him,
if not do the first part of the season, first
couple. And Fields is the first one I've seen
in years that it looks like the Chiefs are planning
to keep him more than one year. Yeah. That's
the other thing, too. Yeah, he should stick around.
Yeah. Get a Super Bowl. Well, I mean, he was
with the Jets. You know, as soon as he found
this out, he was like, oh, fuck yeah. Well, he
came from Chicago. Chicago. Yeah, yeah. And they
ruined him there. That was the graveyard of quarterbacks.
Yeah, he was there before Bien -Aimé was over
there, yeah. Yeah, the only quarterback that
stuck in the last 30 years is probably Caleb
Williams. And you know that he was their passing
leader. Well, who was the one that was before?
Trubisky? Trubisky. Trubisky, yeah. Trubisky,
yeah. And he's a backup for Allen, Josh Allen,
or he was. Yeah. He's so, wow, I didn't even
know. He's a backup. He might even be third stringer,
I don't know. He was drafted ahead of Patrick.
He was, yeah. Patrick, yes, yes, yes. Not his
fault. That was Matt Nagy. Matt Nagy liked him,
yeah. So Fields has the talent. Trubisky, I'm
not so sure. Fields has the talent. Okay, so
Caleb Williams is our all -time passing leader.
17 games, we have an extra game. And he just
hit 4 ,000 yards, and that's their all -time
leader at 4 ,000 yards. They are not a quarterback
city. I mean, Jim McMahon was fair. He's our
defense. Well, now it's a whole different. Yeah,
yeah. So, I mean, they are not a – they've never
been a quarterback town. They've always been
a defense town. Yeah, yeah. It's like the Rams
have always been about the quarterback. Yeah,
yeah. Kurt Warner and Trent Green even. Was it
Sonny Jurgensen? Yeah. A way back when. Oh, no,
Dan Fouts' Chargers. Yeah, Dan Fouts was – Yeah,
they've always had – Yeah, Everett. Yeah. So,
yeah, I like what they're doing. And now they
have plenty of picks. And I think you're going
to get an edge rusher first. And then number
29, I forgot what was it. So what's been the
talk for the left tackle situation? I mean, I
haven't paid really much attention. I think free
agency of some sort. I mean, I don't know what
else you can do. There's really nobody on the
board unless there's somebody. That they're looking
at. Yeah, or a Division II or a practice squad
guy or something. They're like, you know, that
guy is not there yet. We're training him. Well,
because as of right now, we got, what was the
guy that filled in towards the end? Poley? Yeah.
And Simmons. And Simmons, yeah. Is he the one
that? Josh Simmons. And then who was Morris?
Wanya Morris. Wanya Morris, yeah. He got injured,
didn't he? Yeah, yeah, but he was doing much
better. He was encouraging. Poley is encouraging.
Simmons. He needs to keep doing what he's doing.
He needs to build on what he's doing. Yeah, and
I know family's family, and I agree with him
100%, but he needs to stay here. He needs to
play the full season, not get injured. All right.
Jawan Taylor's going to go jump offside for somebody
else's team. Yeah, good riddance. He's going
to full start somewhere else. Nice to have him.
Mr. Automatic Penalty. All right, take care.
Yeah, I don't get how we kept him. so long and
how Andy Reid or nobody, because you know how
Andy Reid, he's always lineman. The only thing
I could think of was that there was nobody better,
which is an indictment of Andy Reid's preparation.
He should have had somebody. Why wasn't there
coaches or someone, offensive line coach, saying,
hey, stop the nose. Lay off him with this jumping
crap. And lining up too far back. Well, I don't
think he could. If they haven't coached it out
of him now, will they coach it out of him? I
don't think so. No. Someone else is going to
get him and think they can do it, and it's not
going to happen. Okay, let me ask. That's a good
question. Was he like that in Tampa Bay? Yeah,
that's a good question. I mean, I don't know.
Well, they let him go for a reason. And he was
– I think he was part of the Super Bowl team.
Yeah. So. Jawan Taylor wasn't their first pick.
Oh, really? No, what is the name that went to
Cincinnati? Orlando Brown. Orlando Brown. Orlando
Brown Jr. Yeah, Orlando Brown Jr. That was our
first choice. What's that guy, Trent? Oh, Trent
Williams. They said they're keeping track on
him, just like they are Tyreek Hill. But to me,
that tells me they're not interested at all.
I've been seeing stuff about Tyreek, too, where
they're showing him. training and stuff. It's
like, I don't, yeah. Why would you pay that much
for a receiver that that old and has had that
many injuries? Yeah. No, he needs separation.
He's not going to separate from anybody. No.
I mean, he'll probably still be good. He'll be,
you know. Do you want that kind of distraction
for an 800 -yard season or less? No. Probably
700, 600 yards. No, I'm sorry. I think I've told
you. I want that bigger body. Mahomes needs to
have that, like, Michael Irvin. We need that
Jamar Chase guy, that huge guy that just, like,
grabs the ball. Nobody else can get to it. And
Mahomes can do that perfectly, just like part
of Burrow's success is that. He throws the ball
way up there. Boom. The guy just levitates to
go get it. Yeah. He knows he's the only guy that
can go get it. And if he misses it, they'll try
it again. Yeah. I mean, it's actually the perfect
scenario. It's like you're not going to get picked
off. And if it works, you got a touchdown. And
if it doesn't work, then, you know, you'll do
it again. None of these little guys in this.
I mean, yeah, it's good to have speed and stuff
like that. Reed was always a speed guy, but it
seemed to me like maybe the philosophy is changing
a little bit. And I think they're going to be
like more of a smash mouth football team, the
run and touch deal. I think so. And I like Kenneth
Walker. I mean, he's kind of built like Adrian
Peterson was. And he's somebody they're not going
to have to take out every other down. Oh, yeah,
yeah. He can leave them in. AP is a great comparison,
actually, yeah. And it'd be good, too, on the,
you know, second and three or second and two.
Yeah, yes. You know he can pound, you know, he'll
be able to. Well, like I said, I remember watching
the Super Bowl and having our two guys that couldn't
do anything at the end of the year. And I'm like,
why in the hell could we not get a guy like this?
You know, no knock on Isaiah Pichai. He's good,
but for what they were trying to do with him,
it's like, why are you doing this? That's the
problem. After his knee was hurt, he wasn't a
finesse guy at all. And so he's not, he doesn't
have that body that commands pushing people out
of the way. And Detroit hired him and acted like
he was like that. And it's the same like with,
who's the other one that we had, had the three
names. Edwards Allaire. Yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah,
yeah. I mean, again, that's another one. He's
good, but. When it's a goal -running situation,
you're going to try to put the guy that's five,
I don't know, I can't remember how tall he was,
5 '8", 5 '7". It's like, are you serious? His
running style was atrocious. Whenever he ran,
it wasn't fluid. It was like an old man trying
to fucking navigate down a sidewalk. He was kind
of like, yeah. Like I said, we addressed a lot
of areas that we needed. Since the wide receiver,
we still – Well, you know what? They shook up.
And I kept reading about how the Chiefs are going
to reinvent the team, reinvent the team. I'm
like, I don't believe it. I don't believe it.
I believe it now. Yeah, I do too. When my brother
told me Kenneth Water, I was like, what? Yeah,
that's not us. We don't sign that big guy. We
let him go. Yeah. Yeah, I'm all for it. You know
what? I mean, they got to do something. And it's
like you said, they're getting rid of people
and they're filling the spot. So, yeah. They're
rebuilding a team in the way they want it, and
I have trust in them. I feel like they're making
good decisions. It's not like Carl Peterson when
we go and give a guy a bunch of money and the
guy's already done his career. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like a Marcus Allen. Peterson's like the big
flashy guy, big flashy signing, so he can get
his picture in the paper. Yeah. They look good
in their underwear. That's what they used to
say. Anybody that looked good in his underwear,
they were there. They're like, oh, hell yeah.
It's just like, who was that big, the big, not
center, was it right tackle? Huge right tackle.
Oh, John Ault. Yeah, well, John Ault was good.
There was another one. Fisher? Yeah, Fisher was
one of them, but that was in a shot. You're talking
about Schoenheimer? Yeah, yeah. And I can't remember
his name, but they were in love with him. There
was, let's see, it was John Off, Will Schubert,
Tim Grunhardt. Yeah, that was one of them. Tim
Grunhardt, Dave Zott. Willie Roof. Willie Roof,
yeah. I forgot, but that was Trent Green, or
that was Dick Rubio. That was Rubio, yeah. And
they got him from New Orleans, I believe. I think
Willie Roof started as a punter. He did. He did
start as a punter. Willie Roof? Yeah. And then
he moved on to offensive line. Then they're like,
this guy's pretty damn good. He was a punter.
You can look it up. Yep. Didn't catch on as a
punter. Well, anyhow, Sean Iver was – he was
famous and Peterson were famous for liking –
if they look good in their underwear. If there's
a restroom right over here on this side, is it
the only one all the way down here? All the way
down or there's one inside the Steamboat Arabia?
Oh, actually, there's another one over there
on the other side of Pigwich. If you go straight
in there. I was just – Yeah, there's like a visitor
center there. Yeah, that's actually the cleanest
one. Yeah, that is actually the cleaner one.
They actually keep tabs on that one. Yeah, this
one down here. Oh, God, there's always some homeless
slug in there. Well, they remodeled the one inside
the steam bug. Oh, did they? I didn't know there
was one down there. Yeah, there's one if you
go out Pigwitch back door. It's right there in
the hallway. It's just over there. Yeah, there's
like the pictures of the area and the maps and
stuff. Yeah, there's a couple restrooms there.
Yeah, it's just like right on this side of Enzo.
Oh, okay. Yeah, you know what? I think we're
going to have a pretty good season. The biggest
problem I see is our schedule again. Our schedule
is not... I think they've released the opponents.
The opponents, not the days. And the opponents
are, oh, my God, man. Pretty tough. It's as bad
as last year. Yeah. I'll have to look at that.
I haven't seen anybody. Oh, it's horrible. So
let me guess. We got everybody that was in the
playoffs. Yeah, yeah. Pretty much, yeah. Yeah,
we're number nine pick, and we have that schedule.
All right, well, we'll just have to kick everybody's
ass again. I guess so. I say go look at the Bills
and see their schedule. Yeah. Yeah, you know,
look at one of the teams that made it and see
their schedule. I bet you New England's isn't
that tough. Oh. Yeah. Well, it was never even
that tough when we won against Brady. No, I know.
No, they always had an easy walk in their division.
Oh, yeah, back then. Shoot, that was the easiest
division there was. Oh, Buffalo was pretty much
a floor mat, and so was... So right there, there
was already, what, eight, nine wins already.
Yeah, that was nine wins just in their division,
eight wins. Yeah, because you had Bills, what,
the Jets were in there. Jets are terrible. The
Bills, the Jets. Patriots. The Patriots, yeah.
And the Dolphins, no. They used to be. The Dolphins.
Yeah, the Colts got moved out to the AFC South.
No, it's the South here. No, the South. Yeah,
AFC South. I'm curious on how the Dolphins are
going to be this year. They have that quarterback,
that young quarterback they're really high on.
I can't think of his name. They say they think
he's all that and then some more, so we'll see.
Who's the coach now? Who is the coach? I don't
remember who took the Miami job. Let's see. I
was thinking about the schedule. You have six
games guaranteed against your division opponents.
Which is not going to be easy. Yeah. Even the
Raiders play us hard. And then every season you
play a complete AFC division and a complete NFC
division, which is eight more. So there's 14
of your games. So there's only three games that
they can adjust to reflect your schedule. The
other 14 are already set. Jeff Halfley. Jeff
Halfley? Oh, yeah. Oh, he was part of the Ravens.
Ravens, Ravens, yeah. That was at Ravens, wasn't
it? Was he the offensive? Harbaugh hired most
of those. Yeah, he did, yeah. I'm telling you,
I'm going to wrestle and see them with the Giants.
The Giants are going to not be a block. I really
think they're going to surprise everybody. They're
going to play well. I think that's going to be
that sneaky team that's going to be in the playoffs.
He's got Jackson Dart and hopefully Scadamon.
If he's got those two with a decent defense,
he's going to win half of his games at least,
if not more. Is it snowing again? Yeah, it's
supposed to. It's a light snow. What the heck?
But it's going to warm up later and become rain
overnight. It's weird just doing a warm -up at
night. I know. Crazy -ass weather. The Chargers,
I think we can manhandle them enough. The Broncos,
I think we can take one game from them. And the
Raiders, we can take both if we're on a game.
So I think if we get out of that four and two,
I would be very happy with that. I would settle
for three and three, and then we'd play a lot
of other teams that we could just kick their
ass. And hopefully they learn from, okay, we
win a Super Bowl, we still need to prepare for
the next season. I'll tell you what, the emphasis
is because this is Kelsey's last year. And they
want him to go out with a ring, and he wants
to go out with a ring. And I'm pretty sure that
was part of the discussion when he came back.
He said, you know, I kind of like to play, but
not for nothing. And they're like, well, all
right, well, what would you like us to do? Now,
I've been being asked, didn't they give him a
bunch of money? $12 million with incentives up
to $15, $16 million, something like that. So
really, not really. Of course, this does set
us up for all season long. People are going to
say, see, they want Kelsey to retire with the
ring, so they're going to make the Chiefs win.
So anytime there's anything questionable, people
are going to just, see, it's so Kelsey can win
the Super Bowl. That's going to be the refrain
because they've set that up as an excuse for
every team that fails. Yeah, I can hear it now.
Oh, I can too. Oh, it's fixed, man. They want
the Chiefs to win. You were telling me that one
time, wasn't the something? Oh, man, what was
it? We were talking about this, and you said
that the league or something with the fans, they
made it where it's an entertainment. Yeah, it
is an entertainment league instead of a sports
league. It's the same league as the WWE. It's
the same classification, sports entertainment.
not actual sports. Yeah. So they can rig a game
and not get sued. So like the PGA Tour can't
fix anything without getting sued. Yeah. But
the NFL can because they're entertainment. There's
definitions. Just like Hollywood. Yeah. And that's
why wrestling changed a long time ago. Well,
you know, that being said, though, too, if the
NFL was on that, then, you know, probably MLB,
well, basketball, of course. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,
there are some good books written on basketball
rigging their games. They might be the worst.
Did you see the Epstein email about the Chiefs?
No. There was an email from Epstein to, I think,
someone in the NFL League office saying, you
know, complaining about the outcome of a game
and the way the call went. He said, what the
hell are you doing over there? We need the Chiefs
to win so Vaccine Boy can be. You know, be popular.
Kelsey. Remember when Kelsey was doing all those
vaccine commercials? He did the double fucking
bandage. So there's an Epstein email saying,
no, no, no. Remember, the Chiefs are supposed
to win, so vaccine boy gets real popular. Really?
So the implication is they're making the Chiefs
win so we'd all get vaccinated. Which would tell
me how useless and worthless the NFL is, if that
were true. If that's true, which I don't believe
it, if that's true, then yeah. It was probably
some Raiders fan that typed that up. Oh, I'm
sure. All the stuff that's redacted, left out,
taken out, scratched out, I don't believe a fucking
thing on it right now. No, the only thing I believe
is Bill Clinton was there probably 30 fucking
times. I believe that. Obama was there a lot
too. No arrests. No arrests? Oh, there's a big
sign on State Line, State Line and Blue Ridge.
There's a big sign that's on one of those little
electric boxes that says, release all of the
Epstein files now and prosecute. Really? It's
a huge sign, yeah. Yeah, that's how it should
be. It should be. I love the fact that the people
are revolting. They're like, no, we want names
and we want to prosecute them. That's how it
should be. No, it won't happen. It's a gentleman's
agreement. rat each other out for votes. That's
one thing I've learned from my life as I got
older. Any kind of Republican, Democrat, they're
all crooked. They're all crooks. And they're
all helping each other stay in the system. Exactly.
It's organized crime. It is. It is. But it's
legal for them to do it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyone
else wants their cut? Oh, no. No, no, no, no,
no. Yeah. I was telling my dad this the other
day. It's like, you know, you guys, I'm pretty
sure you guys work at places where you don't
like certain people or a boss or whatever. Oh,
all the time. Right now. Yeah. Well, all these
Congress people, you know, the president, that's
the boss. Won't they do what they, you know,
what he has to say? But no, instead they're arguing,
no, we're against that, no. Nobody gets along
with nobody. I thought this for a long time.
I'm pretty sure it's true now. They have a gentleman's
agreement. It's like, to harvest votes, you can
rat me out, but you do not prosecute. Yeah. So
you can tell on anybody. That's fine. That's
within bounds. But prosecuting, no. You know,
if they don't prosecute Tim Walz, the governor
of Minnesota, if they don't prosecute him, then...
Oh, Walz? Yeah. I mean, whatever, you know, if
that is. But it's the fact of the matter is Epstein
got caught. All these emails and everything,
it's right there in plain sight. So it's like...
Okay, the guy that's holding all of our information
just got caught. I want to know this. Who had
Epstein doing this? They were honeypotting him.
They had stuff on everybody so they could get
what they need to. Supposedly he was an Assad
agent from Israel. Okay, bye. Yeah, he definitely
wasn't working for himself. No, no, no. He had
way too many resources. Someone had him doing
that. Epstein was kind of like the, well, I don't
know. I'm not 100%, but I feel like Weinstein,
the P. Diddy, Epstein, it's all one. All connected.
It's all connected. I mean, P. Diddy is just
a branch off of what Epstein. Just a part of
it, yeah. Well, and that's a whole other story.
It's Hollywood and the actors. Oh, those folks,
yeah. Yeah. Everything that's going on with Epstein,
that's what all these producers and all those
directors. And all the conspiracy theorists were
right. Yeah. I heard this for years about this
big pedophile ring, satanic ritual abuse and
sacrifices. I was talking with somebody not too
long ago. It goes back to Marilyn Monroe. Yeah.
That was all one of those mystery, like how she
died. Who was the original Superman? Oh, Reeves.
George Reeves. George Reeves. Yeah, that's another
one. He mysteriously died somehow. Both of them
were suicide. Both of them were suicide. Now
it's all kind of like, okay, hey, this is kind
of what's all coming out now about all these.
All of these guys were supposed to, all the way
to Chris Cornell, were supposed to rat out this
ring, this Pev following. Chris Cornell is writing
a book about this. Soundgarden. Yeah, Soundgarden.
And there's something about the significance
of the black tie that they use. It's supposedly
sending a message to anyone else that wants to
do it. You hang yourself with a black tie, like
Epstein supposedly did, like Chris Cornell supposedly
did. There's a lot of other famous ones, too,
that supposedly did it like that. That is a message
to the rest of them saying, this will happen
to you if you rat us out. Well, another one is
Prince. I think Prince had a lot of, because
he's another one. Yeah, I've heard that. I never
read up on it, but I've heard that, yeah. And
now it's starting to, I've been seeing a lot,
too, now it's coming out that Michael Jackson.
Yes, he was actually protecting children. Yeah.
And that's why they set him up to take the fall.
Yeah. And it's weird. There's one of the songs,
I can't remember. He was telling people that
he was going to be murdered, actually. Yeah.
And then you can get into the whole Red Shoes
Society. Oh, yes! Red Shoes? Go ahead. Yeah,
well, Red Shoes, you can find it all over the
internet. There's a whole bunch of entertainers
and celebrities together showing off their red
shoes. Okay. And they are, according to the theory,
those are made from the skin of children that
they've sacrificed. Oh, yeah, I've been hearing
all the stuff. Also, this. Yeah, the little hard
hand things. Yeah. It has always meant that.
This made you like little boys. Or the triangle
one. Or the triangle one. But you have the heart
hands that they introduced. It has always meant
that you're into little girls. Actually, yeah,
yeah. This is girls. This is boys. And you see
prominent people do this all the time. And they
wanted to hide in plain sight, so they introduced
it as a fad that everyone did and took pictures
of. Well, that's like the pizza thing. Pizza
parties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pizza parties where
female hot dogs met little boys. Yeah, they've
been hiding in plain sight for a long time. Yeah,
they developed this so they have the ability
to do this in front of everyone. And only certain
people know what they meant, and everyone else
like us didn't. We're just like, oh, okay, they're
saying I love you. It's like, remember when Snoop
Dogg went up on some award show and did the Crip
Walk? I don't know what that looks like, so it
would have been blown right past me. But secret
signals like that have been around for centuries.
All right, well, we've got to wrap this up. Hey,
good talking to you. Nice seeing you guys. Thanks
for stopping by. But, you know, he did the crip
walk as a secret message to all his buds, and
we just happened to know about it mostly. But
half of what you see out there, remember Johnny
Carson on a show? He'd stop for a minute and
then wipe his nose. That was a signal meaning,
you know, I want more Coke. Get the Coke ready
for the next commercial break. Oh, I didn't know
that. Yeah, he and Ed McMahon snorted Coke on
every commercial break. And that was a Ziggy.
That was a signal. And it was a way to tell people
who might be watching, I'm into Coke. So if you
want to get to know me, bring me some Coke. Ah,
okay. All right, how long we have? Hang on a
second. Okay. Okay. don't know where we're at
we don't give a shit we gotta go so everybody's
cold yes thank you everybody for listening we
appreciate it you guys are listening in droves
and numbers because people like you are giving
a shit and telling other people and that being
said all of you go fuck yourself
