WEBVTT

00:00:01.550 --> 00:00:04.410
Hey there, slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:09.730
Music News. Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This

00:00:09.730 --> 00:00:13.369
is Johnny Rohypnol with your music news. Known

00:00:13.369 --> 00:00:18.269
asshole and constant complainer and social preaching.

00:00:19.210 --> 00:00:23.969
Hypocrite Neil Young has canceled all his 2026

00:00:23.969 --> 00:00:28.250
tour dates. Most in the U .S. still proving.

00:00:29.019 --> 00:00:34.539
If you hate America so much, stay the fuck out

00:00:34.539 --> 00:00:40.140
of it. Bye -bye, male Felicia. This is Johnny

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.340
Rohypnol. That was your music news. And remember,

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:51.200
bar chords are bullshit. Oops, getting my drumsticks

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.469
out here. Is it good? Hang on a second. Okay,

00:00:58.509 --> 00:01:09.189
it's going. Way. Art. Music. Creeps. Way. Art.

00:01:09.609 --> 00:01:14.390
Music. Creeps. All right. You always get me with

00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:21.200
the E. Oh, that's funny. Alright, always, always

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.180
timeless, right? Timeless. Alright, this is Music

00:01:25.180 --> 00:01:28.420
Creeps, as you probably know. Yep. With that

00:01:28.420 --> 00:01:30.480
kind of intro, you ought to know by now. Yeah,

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:34.359
yep. Yep, if you haven't turned it down, you

00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.760
know, or off. Alright, you got something you

00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:40.439
want to go into? Yeah, this was a really good

00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:43.879
story that I caught my eye recently. Here's the

00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:46.620
headline. The songs and the listeners were fake.

00:01:47.159 --> 00:01:49.659
but the millions of dollars stolen was real.

00:01:50.140 --> 00:01:53.980
Okay. This is definitely something we cover here.

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:58.280
An American fraudster earns $8 million. Well,

00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.140
he didn't earn. He stole $8 million streaming

00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:05.739
AI songs that no human has ever listened to.

00:02:06.819 --> 00:02:10.599
A U .S. man pleads guilty to defrauding musicians

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:15.960
and music streaming platforms. frauding them

00:02:15.960 --> 00:02:18.379
out of millions of dollars via the AI creation

00:02:18.379 --> 00:02:22.060
of hundreds of thousands of songs, which were

00:02:22.060 --> 00:02:26.439
then streamed billions of times to AI -created

00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:30.759
fake accounts. So it was fake music being streamed

00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:34.460
to fake accounts, and he was paid for every one

00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:38.060
of those billions of times it was streamed. Now,

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:41.000
okay, do you enjoy this as much as I do? I do.

00:02:41.139 --> 00:02:46.750
Yes. I do. Mostly what I don't like about it

00:02:46.750 --> 00:02:51.409
is the eight million he stole. He didn't create

00:02:51.409 --> 00:02:54.469
any of that money. Actually, that came out of

00:02:54.469 --> 00:02:57.009
the pool of money to be paid to artists for their

00:02:57.009 --> 00:02:59.629
streaming royalties. Oh, yeah. So he got that

00:02:59.629 --> 00:03:02.069
$8 million, and that meant other musicians who

00:03:02.069 --> 00:03:04.669
actually made music that was streamed by real

00:03:04.669 --> 00:03:07.370
people, they got nothing. Because he'd already

00:03:07.370 --> 00:03:09.969
stolen it. He'd stolen it. What a piece of crap.

00:03:10.270 --> 00:03:14.090
Oh, man. Okay, Michael Smith, 54, of Cornelius,

00:03:14.129 --> 00:03:16.590
North Carolina, admitted to one count of conspiracy

00:03:16.590 --> 00:03:18.949
to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum

00:03:18.949 --> 00:03:22.020
sentence of five. years in prison. He will learn

00:03:22.020 --> 00:03:24.639
his sentence in July. Smith also agreed to pay

00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:31.259
back royalties of $8 ,091 ,843 .64, all of which

00:03:31.259 --> 00:03:34.460
obtained fraudulently. Wow. Smith has to pay

00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:37.560
back all of it? He's got to, yep. Who knows if

00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:40.819
he will or he can. I was just getting ready to

00:03:40.819 --> 00:03:42.979
say, did he invest the money and come up with

00:03:42.979 --> 00:03:45.449
more? He probably spent a lot. I would think

00:03:45.449 --> 00:03:48.770
so. But Smith sent thousands of accounts on streaming

00:03:48.770 --> 00:03:51.409
platforms and created software to continuously

00:03:51.409 --> 00:03:54.569
stream hundreds of thousands of fake songs that

00:03:54.569 --> 00:03:58.409
he himself generated via AI. Explaining the exact

00:03:58.409 --> 00:04:00.870
nature of Smith's offense and how it was perpetrated,

00:04:00.909 --> 00:04:03.129
a statement on the Department of Justice website

00:04:03.129 --> 00:04:06.590
reads, Music can be streamed through music streaming

00:04:06.590 --> 00:04:09.849
platforms such as Amazon, Apple, Spotify, YouTube.

00:04:10.830 --> 00:04:13.250
Each time a song is streamed through one of the

00:04:13.250 --> 00:04:15.229
streaming platforms, the songwriter who composed

00:04:15.229 --> 00:04:17.610
the song, the musician who performed it, and

00:04:17.610 --> 00:04:19.930
in certain cases, other rights holders are entitled

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:23.509
to small royalty payments. They are pretty small,

00:04:23.569 --> 00:04:27.209
but they add up. Now, the royalty payments are

00:04:27.209 --> 00:04:29.990
made proportionately to musicians and songwriters

00:04:29.990 --> 00:04:33.230
from a pool of funds. So the pool is finite.

00:04:33.810 --> 00:04:36.329
And if you get streamed more than somebody else,

00:04:36.350 --> 00:04:40.110
you get a bigger share. But you can't increase

00:04:40.110 --> 00:04:43.740
the size of the pool. Yeah. As a result, streaming

00:04:43.740 --> 00:04:47.399
fraud diverts funds from musicians and songwriters

00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:49.879
whose songs were legitimately streamed by real

00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:52.519
consumers, and it funnels it to those who use

00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:54.980
automation to falsely create the appearance of

00:04:54.980 --> 00:04:57.860
legitimate streaming. Michael Smith generated

00:04:57.860 --> 00:05:00.579
thousands of fake songs using artificial intelligence

00:05:00.579 --> 00:05:03.040
and then streamed those fake songs billions of

00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.779
times, U .S. Attorney Jake Clayton said. Although

00:05:05.779 --> 00:05:08.339
the songs and the listeners were fake, the millions

00:05:08.339 --> 00:05:11.420
of dollars Smith stole was real. Millions of

00:05:11.420 --> 00:05:13.600
dollars in royalties that Smith diverted from

00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:16.660
real deserving artists and right holders. Smith's

00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:19.100
brazen scheme is over as he stands convicted

00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:21.800
of a federal crime for his AI -assisted fraud.

00:05:22.540 --> 00:05:25.240
According to the American Music Industry Bible,

00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:30.019
Billboard, the AI music generator platform, Suno,

00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:35.220
generates 7 million songs per day. An AI music

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:38.959
generating platform creates 7 million songs a

00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.990
day. According to The Guardian, the streaming

00:05:41.990 --> 00:05:46.389
site Deezer has 60 ,000 fully AI -generated tracks

00:05:46.389 --> 00:05:50.490
delivered daily. Wow. So a ton of the content...

00:05:50.490 --> 00:05:56.490
Wow. So a ton of the content out there is AI

00:05:56.490 --> 00:05:59.509
-generated and fake. But if you identify it as

00:05:59.509 --> 00:06:02.769
such, you're okay with it. But if you pretend

00:06:02.769 --> 00:06:04.870
that it was real songs written by real humans,

00:06:05.029 --> 00:06:07.769
then that's when you get into the fraud. Yeah.

00:06:09.550 --> 00:06:12.269
Wow. So interesting. I'm sure he is not the first

00:06:12.269 --> 00:06:17.230
and he won't be the last. I got a little thing

00:06:17.230 --> 00:06:19.449
here. I just want to talk a little bit about

00:06:19.449 --> 00:06:22.430
Gene Simmons and his retirement. Oh, yeah. Well,

00:06:22.550 --> 00:06:25.910
he never really was one to hold back. Yeah. Okay.

00:06:26.110 --> 00:06:28.870
But now in his retirement, he really doesn't

00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:31.009
really have that much that he has to really care

00:06:31.009 --> 00:06:33.610
about whenever he says something that he feels,

00:06:33.750 --> 00:06:35.980
and I love it. Because you're getting the true

00:06:35.980 --> 00:06:38.180
honest opinion and he doesn't back down from

00:06:38.180 --> 00:06:40.319
it. That's true. His filters are dropping away.

00:06:40.600 --> 00:06:44.360
Yep. He's one of the few honest celebrities left.

00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:48.399
Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, so Gene Simmons wants

00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.399
celebrities like Ben Stiller, Mark Ruffalo to

00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:55.279
stop lecturing the fellow Americans about politics.

00:06:55.459 --> 00:06:59.430
Heck yeah. Oh, I agree with that 100%. Do your

00:06:59.430 --> 00:07:01.430
art and shut up. Nobody's interested in your

00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:04.750
opinions. That includes me, who I vote for, who

00:07:04.750 --> 00:07:07.970
I like. Who the fuck do people think they are?

00:07:08.089 --> 00:07:11.149
And I agree with it. People in America work hard

00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:13.370
for their living, and they don't want to be lectured

00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:16.430
to by people who live in mansions and drive Rolls

00:07:16.430 --> 00:07:19.750
Royces. It's time for everybody in the entertainment

00:07:19.750 --> 00:07:22.350
industry to shut their pie hole and just do your

00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:27.129
art. Nobody cares what you think. I don't. So

00:07:27.129 --> 00:07:29.189
we've been screaming this for four -plus years

00:07:29.189 --> 00:07:32.949
now. Bravo, Gene. I love the fact that he doesn't

00:07:32.949 --> 00:07:35.310
care. He doesn't hold back now. He says what

00:07:35.310 --> 00:07:37.949
he feels like. And I like the fact that a lot

00:07:37.949 --> 00:07:39.550
of these people are starting to get backlash

00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:42.189
when they try to do their virtue signaling and

00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:44.290
tell everybody what to do. People are saying,

00:07:44.410 --> 00:07:47.550
you know what? Shut the hell up. You don't know

00:07:47.550 --> 00:07:50.389
what I'm going through. Just shut up. Well, it's

00:07:50.389 --> 00:07:53.949
like the latest one was Billie Eilish about that

00:07:53.949 --> 00:07:56.920
whole deal. What have you heard from her since

00:07:56.920 --> 00:08:01.240
the native tribe said, well, you're on our land,

00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:03.839
so let's figure something out? Nothing. Suddenly

00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:06.319
nothing. Suddenly it doesn't matter. She never

00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:08.180
believed it in the first place. Imagine that.

00:08:08.500 --> 00:08:10.480
Someone told her to say that, or she took it

00:08:10.480 --> 00:08:12.699
upon herself to say that. Yeah, don't forget

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:15.540
she also said, fuck ice in the same way. Oh,

00:08:15.540 --> 00:08:17.879
yeah, that's right. In the same, yeah. So she

00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.339
was trying to virtue signal to... couple different

00:08:20.339 --> 00:08:23.019
groups well I got an adopted project for her

00:08:23.019 --> 00:08:26.259
just like I have the adopted judge project yeah

00:08:26.259 --> 00:08:28.500
you know so like if she really believes us I

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.879
want to see her out there helping her yeah I

00:08:30.879 --> 00:08:33.759
want to see her out there helping yeah build

00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.080
them shelter, food, give them money. So anything

00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.500
short of that. She should also spend every penny

00:08:39.500 --> 00:08:42.779
she owns investigating to see if the Tongva people

00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:45.559
really were the original first owners or maybe

00:08:45.559 --> 00:08:48.100
they took the land from somebody else. Oh, and

00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:50.279
if that happens, then what? And then you have

00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:52.570
to see if those people... paid for that land

00:08:52.570 --> 00:08:55.149
or stole it from the people before them. I mean,

00:08:55.149 --> 00:08:58.169
you probably have to go back 300, maybe 400 ,000

00:08:58.169 --> 00:09:01.350
years to determine who is the actual first human

00:09:01.350 --> 00:09:03.590
being that set foot on that land and said, this

00:09:03.590 --> 00:09:06.029
is mine. And then you've got to make sure every

00:09:06.029 --> 00:09:08.610
transaction since there was completely legal

00:09:08.610 --> 00:09:13.039
and recorded. Yeah. Bullshit this is. Yeah. Yep.

00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.100
So I think she's going to end up just giving

00:09:15.100 --> 00:09:17.299
the land back to God and saying sorry. Well,

00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.379
that would be a good choice. Yeah. Or surrender

00:09:20.379 --> 00:09:23.059
it to the U .S. government. That would be, okay,

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:28.500
there you go. They thank their God. Oh, yeah.

00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:31.299
So, yeah, I love it because there is starting

00:09:31.299 --> 00:09:33.919
to be a backlash. Yep. Very much so. And there

00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:36.299
should have been a long time ago. But people

00:09:36.299 --> 00:09:38.960
were, I'll tell you what I think it is, is people

00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:40.960
are at their end now. They're like, you know,

00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:43.120
I've dealt with this and I turned the cheeks

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:45.700
so long. Now I can't do it anymore. Well, the

00:09:45.700 --> 00:09:47.940
period of time when people were willing to let

00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:50.200
celebrities lecture them and make them feel bad

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:52.299
and guilty about things, that's pretty much over.

00:09:52.940 --> 00:09:55.419
You know, people don't want to be lectured to

00:09:55.419 --> 00:09:58.480
and made to feel bad or guilty by anybody. No,

00:09:58.539 --> 00:10:01.120
well, they've been proven to be hypocrites. Yeah.

00:10:01.709 --> 00:10:03.809
That's the number one thing. Whatever they're

00:10:03.809 --> 00:10:06.309
saying, they're not willing to do. Number two,

00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:07.990
they don't even have an idea what they're talking

00:10:07.990 --> 00:10:12.850
about, generally. Number three, they don't give

00:10:12.850 --> 00:10:15.649
a shit. They try to act like they do. This virtual

00:10:15.649 --> 00:10:19.590
signaling is their own guilt. And how they've

00:10:19.590 --> 00:10:22.590
probably fucked people over and taken money and

00:10:22.590 --> 00:10:24.769
all this stuff. Or at the very least, it's a

00:10:24.769 --> 00:10:27.690
career boost. Yeah, or a career boost. Either

00:10:27.690 --> 00:10:31.360
way, cheap. And not needed. No. And there's no

00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.720
value there. Nothing is accomplished. Nothing

00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.379
happens. Nothing is made better. No. They just

00:10:36.379 --> 00:10:40.159
whine publicly and people go, yay, or boo, and

00:10:40.159 --> 00:10:42.120
that's the end of it. And that's it. Nothing

00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:45.220
happens. Nothing changes. It's useless. Yeah.

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:48.519
Utterly useless. Oh, well. Celebrities are basically

00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:51.320
utterly useless anyway. Utterly useless pieces

00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:53.639
of fucking skin, let's be honest. I mean, there

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:58.570
are musicians and actors. that I think are incredibly

00:10:58.570 --> 00:11:01.029
talented and I really love what they produce,

00:11:01.149 --> 00:11:03.090
but they are not famous and they are not celebrities

00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:05.509
and most people don't know who they are. But

00:11:05.509 --> 00:11:07.950
their art is still wonderful and they don't need

00:11:07.950 --> 00:11:12.149
to be celebrities. That part is optional. Taylor

00:11:12.149 --> 00:11:15.049
Swift's music would still be just as good even

00:11:15.049 --> 00:11:17.549
if most people had never heard of Taylor Swift

00:11:17.549 --> 00:11:19.970
before. If she had never become successful, her

00:11:19.970 --> 00:11:22.529
music would still be just as good. The celebrity

00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:25.570
part doesn't matter. It just doesn't. Anyway.

00:11:25.909 --> 00:11:32.129
No, I agree. I got bullet points, or you got

00:11:32.129 --> 00:11:35.990
something? Yeah, let's do the bullet points.

00:11:36.250 --> 00:11:40.710
Okay. Where is the music industry headed? Wow.

00:11:41.909 --> 00:11:46.909
I know, that's... You know, it's really tough

00:11:46.909 --> 00:11:51.330
to say because wherever it's headed, it has to

00:11:51.330 --> 00:11:55.080
be just... completely monetized to within an

00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:58.080
inch of its life. I think this coincides with

00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.960
what we're talking about FM radio finally becoming

00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:04.580
a subscription depending on who owns the rights

00:12:04.580 --> 00:12:07.879
to what. Yeah. Okay. I can see that happening

00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:10.279
and I can see the music industry being a part

00:12:10.279 --> 00:12:14.379
of it. Yeah. I think I see the music industry

00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:17.220
becoming pretty much irrelevant because people

00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:20.220
are going to find a way around it. They have

00:12:20.220 --> 00:12:24.009
been forever. Yeah. I mean, you know, the best

00:12:24.009 --> 00:12:25.909
thing they could do for a long time is like when

00:12:25.909 --> 00:12:27.850
people are ripping off from limelight, they put

00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:30.669
a nasty virus in there. Got a bunch of computers.

00:12:32.950 --> 00:12:35.980
Napster, you know, same thing. Well, you've heard

00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:38.879
of vanity publishers. I'll see ads for them all

00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.519
the time. They say, if you've got a manuscript,

00:12:40.840 --> 00:12:43.340
we'll get it published for you. Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.340
I did see that. Yeah, and they make it sound

00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.240
like they're going to sign you and your book's

00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.320
going to go out there and be published and sold

00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:51.539
and just you're going to make money. No, you

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:54.480
pay for every step of that because it's a vanity

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:57.159
project. You want your book published. You want

00:12:57.159 --> 00:12:58.980
it distributed. You're paying for every bit of

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:02.639
it. They will do it for you, but it's not like

00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:09.480
a bunch of people want your book. My grandfather's

00:13:09.480 --> 00:13:12.960
brother, I think Walter Hughes, wrote a book

00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:16.259
about his time in World War II as a bomber pilot.

00:13:17.059 --> 00:13:19.039
And it was really interesting. It was really

00:13:19.039 --> 00:13:21.740
informative. In fact, Stephen Ambrose quoted

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:27.000
it in one of his books about World War II. But

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:29.799
it was a vanity project. It was basically he

00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.279
had about 1 ,000 copies printed up, and he gave

00:13:32.279 --> 00:13:34.559
them away to people he liked. I think the music

00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.899
industry is going to turn that way. You have

00:13:36.899 --> 00:13:38.799
an album you want to put out, and you do it all

00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.480
yourself. You pay it all yourself, and you directly

00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:44.000
market it, and you get the money back. There

00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:47.080
doesn't need to be a big overarching music industry

00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.019
taking 75 % of every dollar earned. I think people

00:13:51.019 --> 00:13:53.480
are going to realize we don't need that big monstrosity.

00:13:53.919 --> 00:13:56.019
Music's going to be easier to get and cheaper

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:58.860
to get if we just avoid them altogether. Yeah,

00:13:58.899 --> 00:14:01.919
I agree. I think that's probably where it's going

00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:04.600
to go. There will still be a music industry that's

00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.279
putting out absolute bullshit, and small -minded

00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:12.919
people will jump on board. With so many people

00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:15.440
on the planet, you can probably find a million

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.429
or three that will... Buy whatever you're selling.

00:14:19.370 --> 00:14:21.990
We could have gold -plated dog turds, and we

00:14:21.990 --> 00:14:24.409
could probably sell to about 100 ,000 people

00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:26.330
on the planet because there's just that many

00:14:26.330 --> 00:14:30.470
people. That many people would be it. Doesn't

00:14:30.470 --> 00:14:32.789
have to be a good idea anymore. I mean, if you're

00:14:32.789 --> 00:14:35.149
in a village of 10 people, you really got to

00:14:35.149 --> 00:14:36.750
know what they want and give them what they want.

00:14:36.870 --> 00:14:39.070
If you're on a planet with 8 billion, it doesn't

00:14:39.070 --> 00:14:40.870
matter what you make. Somebody's going to want

00:14:40.870 --> 00:14:43.830
it. Somebody's going to want it, yep. All right.

00:14:43.909 --> 00:14:46.629
Do you believe that once the 90s rock bands retire,

00:14:47.309 --> 00:14:50.850
Will that be it for rock music? No, I don't think

00:14:50.850 --> 00:14:54.149
so. Rock music is always done best when it's

00:14:54.149 --> 00:14:57.110
the outsider, when it's not the big thing. That's

00:14:57.110 --> 00:14:59.509
what makes this comeback. Whenever it becomes

00:14:59.509 --> 00:15:02.889
mainstream, it destroys it. And, I mean, look

00:15:02.889 --> 00:15:05.809
at the 80s and look at the 90s. I mean, all of

00:15:05.809 --> 00:15:10.250
this great music, the 70s, all this great music

00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.330
and all of the protest music and the anger music,

00:15:13.490 --> 00:15:16.059
all of a sudden when it started hitting, radio

00:15:16.059 --> 00:15:19.340
waves and became huge, that's when the band started

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:23.419
following suit, but not doing what they felt.

00:15:24.940 --> 00:15:27.059
Bands doing what they feel because they have

00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:29.659
nothing to lose is what rock music is based on.

00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:34.620
Think of the 70s when you had these huge super

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:40.940
groups like The Stones and ELP. Genesis and all

00:15:40.940 --> 00:15:44.320
these massive tours and overblown music and disco

00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:46.879
and all that. And then punk music came along

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.360
and said, we don't need all that crap. We need

00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:51.299
four or five guys, doesn't matter if they can

00:15:51.299 --> 00:15:53.600
play, playing shit instruments they bought at

00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.639
a garage sale, and it can still be compelling.

00:15:55.960 --> 00:15:58.799
And it's all attitude. And it killed that whole

00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:02.929
big bloated 70s scene. Punk ran its course, and

00:16:02.929 --> 00:16:05.129
then we had hair metal in the 80s, and then everyone

00:16:05.129 --> 00:16:07.450
got sick of the posers there. And hair metal

00:16:07.450 --> 00:16:14.190
was actually pretty much derived from punk. It

00:16:14.190 --> 00:16:18.370
was part punk, part rock, a little twist on it.

00:16:18.529 --> 00:16:21.129
They had to do something different, and that's

00:16:21.129 --> 00:16:24.330
what they did. Because that's the earlier...

00:16:25.129 --> 00:16:28.470
Ones that became hair metal, like the Quiet Riots

00:16:28.470 --> 00:16:31.289
and stuff like that. They weren't exactly glam.

00:16:31.549 --> 00:16:34.169
They were more like sleaze rock or something

00:16:34.169 --> 00:16:36.769
you called it, which came from punk. Yeah, absolutely.

00:16:37.129 --> 00:16:41.789
But I think since the mid to late 90s, it's not

00:16:41.789 --> 00:16:46.850
anymore what the public wants. what they are

00:16:46.850 --> 00:16:49.509
going to give us. The music industry decides

00:16:49.509 --> 00:16:51.590
what's going to be current and popular and hot,

00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:54.049
and that's the only thing they provide, and people

00:16:54.049 --> 00:16:57.210
no longer go looking for good music. They just

00:16:57.210 --> 00:16:59.549
take what they're given. Yes. Yeah, I agree.

00:16:59.789 --> 00:17:02.169
Yeah, and you create a great story for the artist

00:17:02.169 --> 00:17:04.410
or the band or whatever, create a couple fan

00:17:04.410 --> 00:17:08.049
clubs, maybe get a music project going, and it

00:17:08.049 --> 00:17:09.890
doesn't matter if the music's any good because

00:17:09.890 --> 00:17:12.950
there's nothing any better. You know, this is

00:17:12.950 --> 00:17:16.410
all we're offering you. Take it or leave it.

00:17:16.490 --> 00:17:20.369
Take it or leave it, yep. As the outsider, rock

00:17:20.369 --> 00:17:27.390
will do fine. Okay. All right. With so much talent

00:17:27.390 --> 00:17:30.329
and personalization taking out of new music,

00:17:30.470 --> 00:17:33.490
will this be a key factor in rock's huge decline?

00:17:34.470 --> 00:17:36.829
Yeah. I think so. We're going to go through a

00:17:36.829 --> 00:17:39.930
period where it's just like... Nobody cares about

00:17:39.930 --> 00:17:42.150
the music of this era because it all sounds the

00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:44.490
same. It's all fakey garbage. It's all written

00:17:44.490 --> 00:17:48.269
to a formula. Half of it's called O'Toon and

00:17:48.269 --> 00:17:52.670
sequencers and AI. And the formula rock, I think,

00:17:52.690 --> 00:17:55.109
is really what destroyed it more than anything.

00:17:55.250 --> 00:17:57.589
It's because everyone started recognizing patterns

00:17:57.589 --> 00:18:00.470
to every song. There really wasn't that much

00:18:00.470 --> 00:18:02.529
difference in the way they sang to the instruments

00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:05.970
and how they were played. Pretty much everything.

00:18:06.809 --> 00:18:10.210
reminded you of another song almost exactly.

00:18:10.609 --> 00:18:13.150
And I think that was intentional. Keep people

00:18:13.150 --> 00:18:15.609
right in the middle of their comfort zone. I

00:18:15.609 --> 00:18:18.650
kind of compare it to the steroid era in baseball

00:18:18.650 --> 00:18:21.509
because all those players are no longer thought

00:18:21.509 --> 00:18:24.089
of as heroes and great players and they're not

00:18:24.089 --> 00:18:26.990
celebrities. It's all just like a bunch of drug

00:18:26.990 --> 00:18:31.190
doers. They injected and snorted and did whatever

00:18:31.190 --> 00:18:33.329
it took to fake their way into these numbers

00:18:33.329 --> 00:18:36.069
and so why should I care about it? I think this

00:18:36.069 --> 00:18:37.849
big chunk of music is going to be exactly like

00:18:37.849 --> 00:18:43.190
that. Yeah, I think so. All right. Guns N' Roses'

00:18:43.289 --> 00:18:49.569
new hit, Nothin', N -O -T -H -I -N -O -G, is

00:18:49.569 --> 00:18:53.329
holding on the charts for a few months now. Guns

00:18:53.329 --> 00:18:57.670
is still a huge band. Is this why it's doing

00:18:57.670 --> 00:19:00.109
so well, or they just put out more honest music?

00:19:02.829 --> 00:19:04.630
You know, there's something to be said about

00:19:04.630 --> 00:19:06.869
the fact they're putting out honest music. You

00:19:06.869 --> 00:19:09.710
can tell that it's performed by real musicians

00:19:09.710 --> 00:19:11.549
with real instruments. And they're trying to

00:19:11.549 --> 00:19:15.309
make something that actually is good, as opposed

00:19:15.309 --> 00:19:17.750
to Motley Crue just throwing out bullshit just

00:19:17.750 --> 00:19:20.930
to say they put out an album. And people see

00:19:20.930 --> 00:19:23.470
that and identify with it, and they like that.

00:19:24.170 --> 00:19:26.809
Now, is this the best song they've ever did?

00:19:26.869 --> 00:19:29.920
No. Not by far. But it's a lot better than what

00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.200
they could have given us. Bingo. That's it. So

00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.819
it is holding on to rock charts fine, and it's

00:19:35.819 --> 00:19:38.259
selling. Yeah. So that tells me that there is

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:41.909
still something there, just like you said. An

00:19:41.909 --> 00:19:44.730
authentic product, I think, will sell. Exactly.

00:19:44.890 --> 00:19:47.130
You may never be a multi -millionaire off of

00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:49.930
it, but it will sell. It will sell. And, yeah,

00:19:50.009 --> 00:19:53.450
if you compare the sales of this to, I don't

00:19:53.450 --> 00:19:56.390
know, Appetite or Use Your Illusion, it's not

00:19:56.390 --> 00:20:00.710
going to be close. Yeah. But nothing is. Nothing

00:20:00.710 --> 00:20:03.549
is. Nothing sells like it does. Hello, this is

00:20:03.549 --> 00:20:07.650
Phineas J. Altaris III. I'm here to deliver your

00:20:07.650 --> 00:20:18.599
music news this evening. Hold the line. Toto's

00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:23.259
U .S. tour is coming together just fine. I didn't

00:20:23.259 --> 00:20:25.759
write that. Legendary rock band Toto will be

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.779
touring as an evening with Steve Lukather and

00:20:27.779 --> 00:20:30.380
Joseph Williams. They have curated a set list

00:20:30.380 --> 00:20:33.700
for this entire excursion. February 18th, the

00:20:33.700 --> 00:20:35.980
tour kicks off in Milwaukee and will wrap up

00:20:35.980 --> 00:20:38.279
in Buffalo, Michigan. Our home base of Kansas

00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:40.619
City is getting snubbed, unless you feel like

00:20:40.619 --> 00:20:43.970
traveling to Tulsa, Omaha, or Des Moines. That's

00:20:43.970 --> 00:20:46.430
not very far to travel, so if you love Toto,

00:20:46.569 --> 00:20:50.730
there you go. This is Phineas J. Baltaris III.

00:20:52.390 --> 00:20:54.829
That has been your music news for this evening.

00:20:55.490 --> 00:20:59.130
I have one burning question for you all. Do people

00:20:59.130 --> 00:21:03.390
really skip around the Maypole? It's a completely

00:21:03.390 --> 00:21:05.930
different time. But the fact that they put out

00:21:05.930 --> 00:21:10.170
a song that makes a difference in 2026. Being

00:21:10.170 --> 00:21:14.009
a late 80s band like they were really means something.

00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:16.650
And it's honesty, like you said. They're putting

00:21:16.650 --> 00:21:18.910
out an honest product and people are responding.

00:21:19.390 --> 00:21:22.309
I can't see Pearl Jam putting anything out that

00:21:22.309 --> 00:21:24.410
would have any kind of relevance ever again.

00:21:24.470 --> 00:21:26.569
That's a great example. Pearl Jam is a perfect

00:21:26.569 --> 00:21:30.029
example of that. They had their time and they're

00:21:30.029 --> 00:21:33.069
all done. Most people just kind of don't give

00:21:33.069 --> 00:21:35.789
a crap about Pearl Jam anymore. It's like the

00:21:35.789 --> 00:21:38.579
girl you dated when you were 17. And you're in

00:21:38.579 --> 00:21:41.900
your 70s now. It's like, yeah, that was fun,

00:21:41.900 --> 00:21:44.119
but who cares? Well, yeah, I look back at ex

00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:46.279
-girlfriends and kind of scratch my head and

00:21:46.279 --> 00:21:49.359
go, what was I thinking? Yeah, I guess it was

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:51.079
fun at the time, but I ain't going back there

00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.299
again. Yeah, no, it's like, boy, I'm glad I got

00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:56.099
through that. That's kind of what Pearl Jam is.

00:21:56.220 --> 00:21:58.420
Yeah, exactly. People are going, you know, they

00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:00.920
were okay for a minute, but I really don't want

00:22:00.920 --> 00:22:05.119
to go back and listen to them. Okay, who was

00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:10.859
the... Greatest guitar band ever. That's tough.

00:22:11.240 --> 00:22:13.500
That is tough. I would say Aerosmith would be

00:22:13.500 --> 00:22:15.839
one of them. Aerosmith would be a good example.

00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:22.000
At one time, Motley Crue. Yeah. Bad Company.

00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:24.819
Bad Company. Judas Priest was really good at

00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:29.140
guitar rock. Yeah. Bad Company. Definitely Bad

00:22:29.140 --> 00:22:32.200
Company. Matter of fact, Band Company would probably

00:22:32.200 --> 00:22:35.119
be the more mainstream, shiny example of guitar

00:22:35.119 --> 00:22:38.279
rock. I can't really say Foreigner because they

00:22:38.279 --> 00:22:40.400
had a lot of other elements, synthesizers and

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:43.420
saxophone mainly. That's true, that's true. But

00:22:43.420 --> 00:22:48.240
just basically guitar -based rock. Yeah. Van

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:51.700
Halen until they got to synths. Yeah, Van Halen

00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:54.160
at first was a really good example. Pretty much

00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.000
anything Sammy Hagar did from Montrose to his

00:22:57.000 --> 00:23:00.829
solo stuff was just heavily... Guitar -based.

00:23:01.009 --> 00:23:03.529
Yeah, it was all pretty much based on guitar.

00:23:04.890 --> 00:23:07.670
Black Sabbath, of course. Black Sabbath, yeah.

00:23:09.349 --> 00:23:12.529
Queen. Queen is a good one. They used some piano,

00:23:12.589 --> 00:23:15.190
but they never used any synthesizers. No, no,

00:23:15.210 --> 00:23:18.109
no. And the piano was just, you know, that was

00:23:18.109 --> 00:23:20.809
pretty much Freddie Mercury's creativity to the

00:23:20.809 --> 00:23:23.170
song. Yeah. Because that's what his instrument

00:23:23.170 --> 00:23:25.569
made as well, besides singing, you know, being

00:23:25.569 --> 00:23:29.069
such a good singer. Yeah. So, yeah. It's funny,

00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:31.809
piano kind of qualifies as a percussion instrument.

00:23:32.410 --> 00:23:34.670
Because you hit those keys, and that makes a

00:23:34.670 --> 00:23:38.130
hammer hit the string. So it's like a hammered

00:23:38.130 --> 00:23:42.130
dulcimer, at least. Pretty much. But also, pianos

00:23:42.130 --> 00:23:44.230
are considered part of the rhythm section with

00:23:44.230 --> 00:23:46.769
the bass and drums. I can see that, too. Yeah,

00:23:46.769 --> 00:23:50.109
isn't that weird? Yeah, no, it is. But, I mean,

00:23:50.210 --> 00:23:52.910
personally, if piano's done right, you can't

00:23:52.910 --> 00:23:59.579
beat it. One of the best instruments. So, okay,

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:03.400
who was the coolest looking rock star ever? David

00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:05.859
Lee Roth, when he was younger, was very cool.

00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.599
Yeah, he was like the perfect front man image.

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:12.799
Vince Neal was another one. Vince Neal was like

00:24:12.799 --> 00:24:15.619
the perfect rock and roll guy. Going back to

00:24:15.619 --> 00:24:19.259
the older, I think Mark Bolan from T -Rex. Some

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:22.539
of the early glam bands had a really good look.

00:24:23.019 --> 00:24:28.119
Ian Gillen, he looked like a rocker. Let's see.

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:33.619
Yeah, there have been a lot of them. But there's

00:24:33.619 --> 00:24:36.119
some that just didn't look. I mean, Elvis Costello

00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:38.859
never looked like a musician. No, and to his

00:24:38.859 --> 00:24:41.519
credit, he never did try to be the good -looking

00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.160
fucking front guy. He was always the nerdy. He

00:24:45.160 --> 00:24:49.400
was kind of Buddy Holly. Yeah. Nerdy -ish. Yeah.

00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:52.700
Yeah. And, I mean, his music didn't exactly,

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.319
you know, was it like guitar? idol type of guy

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.480
no he was never trying to be the biggest act

00:24:59.480 --> 00:25:03.299
in the world no no he had his I enjoy a lot of

00:25:03.299 --> 00:25:05.660
his stuff I think he was very talented I think

00:25:05.660 --> 00:25:09.079
so too yeah I was trying to remember his name

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:13.079
his name is Declan something Declan shoot McManus

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:14.839
I think yeah I think that sounds about right

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:18.549
Declan McManus I think is his real name I still

00:25:18.549 --> 00:25:21.509
love it. Elvis Costello is a great stage. It

00:25:21.509 --> 00:25:25.029
really is. It's an awesome stage. It is. People

00:25:25.029 --> 00:25:28.269
look at him and go, that's Elvis Costello? Yeah,

00:25:28.289 --> 00:25:30.069
yeah, a nerdy -looking guy with glasses. That's

00:25:30.069 --> 00:25:35.430
him right there. All right. Brian May had a stroke

00:25:35.430 --> 00:25:39.250
a year ago. He is recovering nicely. Will he

00:25:39.250 --> 00:25:43.269
ever tour again? You know, I really don't think

00:25:43.269 --> 00:25:45.930
he's going to. the urge to do so. He could, I

00:25:45.930 --> 00:25:48.049
think. I think he could if he wanted to, but

00:25:48.049 --> 00:25:50.789
I really don't think he cares to. They have not

00:25:50.789 --> 00:25:53.670
said any plans at all because they have a...

00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:56.569
Oh, what's his name from American Idol? He's

00:25:56.569 --> 00:26:01.950
been doing it for a while now. Lambert? Adam

00:26:01.950 --> 00:26:05.150
Lambert. And they do very well with him. George

00:26:05.150 --> 00:26:10.329
Michael was the best post -Freddie Mercury. Nobody,

00:26:10.329 --> 00:26:13.509
me, nobody knew the guy had that much range and

00:26:13.509 --> 00:26:18.049
that much talent until he joined Queen and people

00:26:18.049 --> 00:26:20.650
were going, gosh, if there was someone that could,

00:26:20.769 --> 00:26:25.069
you know, kind of not replace. Or at least carry

00:26:25.069 --> 00:26:27.549
on. Carry on, yeah. It would have been George

00:26:27.549 --> 00:26:30.089
Michael. But then he died young, too. Yes, he

00:26:30.089 --> 00:26:34.349
did. Yeah, heart attack, though. Yeah, not AIDS

00:26:34.349 --> 00:26:37.490
or nothing like that. He had a problem with bathrooms.

00:26:37.750 --> 00:26:40.210
He did have a little difficulty with public restrooms,

00:26:40.230 --> 00:26:43.109
yes. Yeah, they don't like you exposing yourself

00:26:43.109 --> 00:26:46.150
and asking for sexual acts, I guess. No. Yeah,

00:26:46.190 --> 00:26:50.529
they look down on that. All right. Yeah, I don't

00:26:50.529 --> 00:26:52.630
think he is either. I think that's it. I mean,

00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:55.309
the mere fact that he had a stroke and he's recovering

00:26:55.309 --> 00:26:58.829
would tell me that he's probably, he's almost

00:26:58.829 --> 00:27:02.930
80. He's like, no, no. Let's put the brakes.

00:27:03.390 --> 00:27:08.089
Let me jump in and mention. Brian Setzer, formerly

00:27:08.089 --> 00:27:11.670
of the Stray Cats. He's wanting to get back together

00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:14.109
with the Stray Cats. I thought he was. Yeah,

00:27:14.250 --> 00:27:18.690
yeah. He had that autoimmune disease that was

00:27:18.690 --> 00:27:21.789
messing up his ability to move his muscles and

00:27:21.789 --> 00:27:23.750
fingers and actually play, but he seems to be

00:27:23.750 --> 00:27:27.309
pretty much over that now. But he said a second

00:27:27.309 --> 00:27:29.470
thing that was screwing him up, he actually had

00:27:29.470 --> 00:27:32.690
to go to rehab for, was that over -the -counter

00:27:32.690 --> 00:27:38.980
drug known as Kratom. K -R -A -T -O -M it's not

00:27:38.980 --> 00:27:42.339
all that well regulated because it's not considered

00:27:42.339 --> 00:27:45.960
a real drug or anything but he was it's supposed

00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:48.579
to be like an energy booster and he was using

00:27:48.579 --> 00:27:51.480
that like constantly and it really started screwing

00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:54.339
up his body and he couldn't just quit he had

00:27:54.339 --> 00:27:57.559
to get medical help to get off of it wow yeah

00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.839
so I don't know how much he was doing or whatever

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:02.460
else might be mixed in with it but it makes me

00:28:02.460 --> 00:28:05.920
want to stay way away from that stuff Wow. Yeah.

00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:12.319
Wow. Yeah. I didn't know that. I knew he had

00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:14.220
the autoimmune disease, but I didn't know all

00:28:14.220 --> 00:28:16.759
that other. No, it just recently came out. He

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:20.059
said, I actually had to go to rehab and get medical

00:28:20.059 --> 00:28:23.339
help to get off it. And I really like Brian Setzer.

00:28:23.380 --> 00:28:25.759
I've always liked the stray cats. They go to

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:27.710
their own. They beat. You know, they go to their

00:28:27.710 --> 00:28:31.150
own drum beat. And, I mean, they broke the market.

00:28:31.289 --> 00:28:34.130
Oh. Big band swing music. Yeah. I mean, it was,

00:28:34.210 --> 00:28:37.869
people loved it. Yeah. They were a rage. Yeah,

00:28:37.950 --> 00:28:39.890
the Brian Setzer Orchestra was pretty awesome

00:28:39.890 --> 00:28:42.230
stuff. They got some great songs. I love that.

00:28:42.329 --> 00:28:46.650
Yes. Yep. The Dirty Boogie and Ba Ba Boom, I

00:28:46.650 --> 00:28:48.950
think. Ba Ba Boom, yeah. A couple albums I remember.

00:28:49.190 --> 00:28:51.750
And he wrote all the arrangements. Oh, I know.

00:28:51.750 --> 00:28:54.519
He's so talented. Yeah. And then seeing them

00:28:54.519 --> 00:28:57.099
live on a video special, that was pretty amazing

00:28:57.099 --> 00:29:00.480
too. Oh, I would love to see that. See if I can

00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:05.799
find that on YouTube somewhere. That's one of

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:10.119
the things is I love... Oh, what's wrong? I'm

00:29:10.119 --> 00:29:12.079
trying to see how much time we have. Okay, it's

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:14.539
about noon real time, so we've got two hours.

00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:16.319
Before we get kicked out, I think we're going

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:20.640
to be fine. Yeah, we'll be fine. Okay, I forgot

00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:23.200
where I was at, but okay, I've got a final question

00:29:23.200 --> 00:29:25.960
here. Kansas City supports two rock stations.

00:29:26.500 --> 00:29:29.380
Both are currently in the top ten. 101 the Fox

00:29:29.380 --> 00:29:31.900
is number two and The Rock is number seven. So

00:29:31.900 --> 00:29:34.140
why is it the rock shows don't sell in Kansas

00:29:34.140 --> 00:29:38.819
City? There's an audience. Yeah, I guess it's

00:29:38.819 --> 00:29:40.279
because they're getting their rock music another

00:29:40.279 --> 00:29:43.119
way. I blame the stations. I don't think they're

00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:45.420
promoting it correctly. Well, that's true too.

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:48.779
And their playlists are so limited. That's the

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:51.460
other thing too. It just makes me sad to hear.

00:29:51.559 --> 00:29:56.640
You tune in on day one of the week and you hear

00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:58.720
some songs and then you tune in the next day

00:29:58.720 --> 00:30:00.579
and you hear about half of those songs again.

00:30:01.039 --> 00:30:03.200
Yeah. There's not a lot of songs I want to hear

00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:05.559
every single day. Oh, yeah. Well, to me, they're

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:07.279
like people that don't really care that much

00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:09.700
about music listening to radio, modern radio,

00:30:09.799 --> 00:30:12.720
like terrestrial radio. The reason is, is because

00:30:12.720 --> 00:30:15.539
they want the same thing fed to them every day.

00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:19.059
People that actually care about music, in my

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:21.019
opinion, are like, I don't want to hear this

00:30:21.019 --> 00:30:23.160
shit again. They're going to come up with something

00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.690
different. Yeah. And there are people also, like

00:30:26.690 --> 00:30:28.529
you were saying, that use music as something

00:30:28.529 --> 00:30:30.329
other than something to focus your attention

00:30:30.329 --> 00:30:32.930
on. Like last night I was working on a number

00:30:32.930 --> 00:30:35.930
of the podcast stories. I was down in my studio,

00:30:36.089 --> 00:30:38.849
and it was pretty quiet down there, and I was

00:30:38.849 --> 00:30:40.950
getting a little lonely. Because I could hear

00:30:40.950 --> 00:30:43.089
Cindy moving around upstairs, and I could hear

00:30:43.089 --> 00:30:47.569
Paisley trotting around. So I turned on the TV

00:30:47.569 --> 00:30:50.950
and put on reruns of M .A .S .H., which was a

00:30:50.950 --> 00:30:55.200
medical show from the 70s. And I put it on low

00:30:55.200 --> 00:30:57.259
enough that I could hear the people talking,

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:59.480
but unless I paid attention, I couldn't really

00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:01.539
tell what they were saying. But that was enough

00:31:01.539 --> 00:31:05.440
company that I didn't feel lonely down there

00:31:05.440 --> 00:31:09.019
anymore. So people use music for the same thing.

00:31:09.119 --> 00:31:10.839
It's like, it's too quiet in here, I've got to

00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:14.470
have something on. I think that's a lot of radio

00:31:14.470 --> 00:31:17.210
listeners is that. I think so too. I like your

00:31:17.210 --> 00:31:19.210
right background noise. Because when I want to

00:31:19.210 --> 00:31:21.450
hear, when I want to actually listen to music,

00:31:21.509 --> 00:31:23.970
I know what I want to hear and I go find it and

00:31:23.970 --> 00:31:26.369
I play it. I don't turn on the radio and just

00:31:26.369 --> 00:31:28.650
hope they play something I might like eventually.

00:31:29.109 --> 00:31:32.329
Yeah. It's just too much of a crapshoot. No,

00:31:32.329 --> 00:31:35.309
that's the same here. Yeah. And like, oh, if

00:31:35.309 --> 00:31:37.950
I'm working out in the yard, sometimes I'll turn

00:31:37.950 --> 00:31:41.789
it on. Yeah. just for something. But, you know,

00:31:41.849 --> 00:31:44.450
when the same song comes on, I don't necessarily

00:31:44.450 --> 00:31:46.490
give a shit because it's not the focal point.

00:31:46.569 --> 00:31:48.630
It's just like, okay, it's back there, whatever.

00:31:48.910 --> 00:31:51.910
Yeah. And I hate it getting invested into a song

00:31:51.910 --> 00:31:55.450
and then somebody talks over the ending or they

00:31:55.450 --> 00:31:59.849
play the edited version. That pisses me off more

00:31:59.849 --> 00:32:02.890
than anything. Waste my time. The edited version

00:32:02.890 --> 00:32:05.190
is like cutting out usually the best parts of

00:32:05.190 --> 00:32:06.710
the song. Yeah, they always cut out the guitar

00:32:06.710 --> 00:32:08.490
solos. You know what I'm saying? It's like...

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:10.660
They think people listening at work don't want

00:32:10.660 --> 00:32:13.839
guitar solos. I do. Yeah. I used to listen to

00:32:13.839 --> 00:32:16.299
radio at work. I wanted guitar solos. Yeah, I

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:18.420
did too. And I'm like, yeah, this ain't working.

00:32:18.660 --> 00:32:22.759
Yeah. Yeah. All right, that's all the bullet

00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:25.960
points that I had. Okay. I've got stories about

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:29.799
some songs that initially flopped. Or underperformed

00:32:29.799 --> 00:32:32.359
on their first release, but then had massive

00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:37.460
success later. Okay. Take On Me by A -Ha was

00:32:37.460 --> 00:32:41.859
released in 84 and just utterly failed. One year

00:32:41.859 --> 00:32:45.579
later, they re -recorded it and paired it with

00:32:45.579 --> 00:32:48.480
an iconic video. Is it the same band? Yeah. They're

00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:52.579
both called A -Ha. Okay. When they had their

00:32:52.579 --> 00:32:55.630
smash hit with it, it was just... Two of the

00:32:55.630 --> 00:32:57.410
guys you see in the video were actually in the

00:32:57.410 --> 00:33:00.490
band. The guy playing the drums was not a member

00:33:00.490 --> 00:33:02.470
of the band, and he was just there to mime along

00:33:02.470 --> 00:33:05.509
because it was actually a drum machine. Oh. Okay.

00:33:05.890 --> 00:33:08.569
So that third guy in the video playing the drums,

00:33:08.650 --> 00:33:12.650
yeah, he was just there for looks. Okay. When

00:33:12.650 --> 00:33:16.670
I'm With You by Sheriff, released in 83, failed

00:33:16.670 --> 00:33:20.549
to make the U .S. Top 40, but a 1989 re -release

00:33:20.549 --> 00:33:23.230
went to number one after a DJ started playing

00:33:23.230 --> 00:33:30.000
it. The one, I'm Gonna Be. I'm gonna walk 500

00:33:30.000 --> 00:33:34.019
miles. Yeah. That one was by the Proclaimers.

00:33:34.019 --> 00:33:36.940
They released it in 88, and it was a hit in the

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:39.680
UK and Australia, totally flopped in the US,

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.240
until its inclusion on the Benny and June soundtrack

00:33:42.240 --> 00:33:45.680
in 1993. And then it went to number three. Didn't

00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:48.359
realize that. I thought it was a hit before that.

00:33:48.660 --> 00:33:51.039
Movie soundtrack. This next one, the same thing.

00:33:51.099 --> 00:33:53.660
Holiday Road by Lindsey Buckingham. Oh, yeah.

00:33:53.960 --> 00:33:57.799
Released in 83. Peaked it on the number 82. But

00:33:57.799 --> 00:34:00.059
then it become a beloved classic because it was

00:34:00.059 --> 00:34:02.700
in National Lampoon's Vacation. Yeah. And now

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:04.420
you hear it all the time whenever people are

00:34:04.420 --> 00:34:06.180
talking about holidays or something. You hear

00:34:06.180 --> 00:34:08.829
that. And Lindsey Buckingham gets a little extra

00:34:08.829 --> 00:34:11.570
money every time. Yep. And I'm not a huge fan

00:34:11.570 --> 00:34:14.349
of that song, but, I mean. It's okay. If it's

00:34:14.349 --> 00:34:16.809
a holiday song, it's good. If it's a regular

00:34:16.809 --> 00:34:20.809
song, eh. Yeah. So. Running Up That Hill by Kate

00:34:20.809 --> 00:34:24.329
Bush. Initially released in 1985, and it was

00:34:24.329 --> 00:34:27.130
modestly successful. Yeah. But then it was re

00:34:27.130 --> 00:34:30.329
-released in 2022 after being included in the

00:34:30.329 --> 00:34:33.230
show Stranger Things. Went right to number one.

00:34:33.739 --> 00:34:35.619
That does not surprise me. And all of a sudden,

00:34:35.619 --> 00:34:38.440
everybody wanted to hear more by Kate Bush. Stranger

00:34:38.440 --> 00:34:40.280
Things brought back New Coke for a little bit.

00:34:40.440 --> 00:34:46.800
It did. Well, you had to order it, but yes. Tempted

00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.699
by the Squeeze, released in 1981, did not achieve

00:34:51.699 --> 00:34:54.280
high chart success upon release, but gained popularity

00:34:54.280 --> 00:34:57.179
later through compilation albums, media exposure,

00:34:57.579 --> 00:35:02.570
and being included in the best of albums. It

00:35:02.570 --> 00:35:04.909
got way more distribution doing it that way than

00:35:04.909 --> 00:35:09.210
it ever got on its original release. Another

00:35:09.210 --> 00:35:13.030
example is the Talking Heads' Once in a Lifetime.

00:35:13.190 --> 00:35:16.289
It failed on initial release, but eventually

00:35:16.289 --> 00:35:20.750
it grew. Duran Duran's Girls on Film failed on

00:35:20.750 --> 00:35:22.989
the first release because I think it was on their

00:35:22.989 --> 00:35:25.510
first album. And then their second album was

00:35:25.510 --> 00:35:27.369
the one where they broke. That was the one that

00:35:27.369 --> 00:35:29.190
broke. And then they went back to their first

00:35:29.190 --> 00:35:30.969
album and started re -releasing stuff. Hungry

00:35:30.969 --> 00:35:34.010
Like the Wolf was the big break. Yeah, that sounds

00:35:34.010 --> 00:35:36.090
about right. Yeah, but Girls on Film was the

00:35:36.090 --> 00:35:39.190
previous album. Yeah, but it came back after

00:35:39.190 --> 00:35:41.449
that. Because I remember when it did, I mean,

00:35:41.469 --> 00:35:45.570
yeah. It was like, oh shoot, Whitesnake did the

00:35:45.570 --> 00:35:48.750
same thing. Yeah, yeah. I think they've got them

00:35:48.750 --> 00:35:52.150
coming up, too, actually. Okay. I Melt With You

00:35:52.150 --> 00:35:54.590
by Modern English. I Stopped the World and Melt

00:35:54.590 --> 00:35:56.869
With You. Barely chartered upon its 82 release.

00:35:57.269 --> 00:35:59.409
And then a year later, it was featured in the

00:35:59.409 --> 00:36:02.409
movie Valley Girl and took off. Yeah. Yep. Yep.

00:36:03.269 --> 00:36:06.489
Blue Monday by New Order was not a massive hit

00:36:06.489 --> 00:36:08.969
on its first release and purportedly lost money

00:36:08.969 --> 00:36:12.409
due to its expensive packaging, but slowly became

00:36:12.409 --> 00:36:15.619
more and more popular. It had multiple re -releases

00:36:15.619 --> 00:36:18.519
and re -mixes and is now considered the 69th

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:22.380
best -selling single in the UK ever. Wow. For

00:36:22.380 --> 00:36:24.219
a song that flopped out of the game. For a song

00:36:24.219 --> 00:36:25.599
that flopped out of the game. That's pretty good.

00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:29.000
Don't give up on your song. Yeah. Here's one

00:36:29.000 --> 00:36:32.480
by a little band called Guns N' Roses. Paradise

00:36:32.480 --> 00:36:35.519
City got little airplay in the spring of 88,

00:36:35.739 --> 00:36:39.780
at least down south where this person was listening.

00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:42.780
But it was quickly forgotten until Sweet Child

00:36:42.780 --> 00:36:45.900
took off in that fall, and then the whole album

00:36:45.900 --> 00:36:48.460
almost a year old before it finally caught on.

00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:51.800
Yeah. So Paradise City was supposed to be their

00:36:51.800 --> 00:36:55.639
first hit single. It just didn't work. It took

00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:58.360
a year for it to break. Okay. I didn't know that

00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:00.199
that was supposed to be their first one, but

00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:02.699
I know that it was being pushed ahead of time.

00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.860
Yeah. But it didn't really hit because, let's

00:37:05.860 --> 00:37:07.579
see, Welcome to the Jungle was the inaugural.

00:37:09.130 --> 00:37:13.809
hit. So that hit big, but then they started playing

00:37:13.809 --> 00:37:19.909
Sweet Child of Mine because for some reason people

00:37:19.909 --> 00:37:24.690
liked that guitar at the first and it was catchy

00:37:24.690 --> 00:37:27.590
and it was a great radio song because it wasn't

00:37:27.590 --> 00:37:32.630
real long in length and people remember it. So

00:37:32.630 --> 00:37:35.650
then Paradise City came a long time later and

00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:37.809
it's probably a year or so after like it said.

00:37:38.489 --> 00:37:40.969
It was easier to remember the hook to Sweet Child

00:37:40.969 --> 00:37:44.590
than it was the hook to Paradise City. Yes. But

00:37:44.590 --> 00:37:47.329
once people liked the band, they put forth the

00:37:47.329 --> 00:37:50.929
extra effort to memorize the hook of other stuff,

00:37:50.989 --> 00:37:52.809
too. Yeah, there's more hits off that album,

00:37:52.909 --> 00:37:56.349
too, because Rock Radio started playing about

00:37:56.349 --> 00:38:00.329
everything they could find on that album. Pour

00:38:00.329 --> 00:38:04.050
Some Sugar On Me, Def Leppard. It tanked on release.

00:38:04.369 --> 00:38:07.699
Utterly tanked. but then every strip club in

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:10.099
the English -speaking world bought a copy. Yep.

00:38:11.980 --> 00:38:15.360
Because that was a great strip song. Yes, apparently

00:38:15.360 --> 00:38:18.860
it was. Here's the one, Here I Go Again by Whitesnake,

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:22.000
released in 82, but then it was re -recorded

00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.519
in 87, and it hit number one on the Billboard

00:38:24.519 --> 00:38:28.059
Hot 100. Yep, that was off of Saints and Sinners,

00:38:28.099 --> 00:38:31.039
I think. I believe so. Yeah, and that was okay

00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.900
to be fair. They were huge in Europe and not

00:38:33.900 --> 00:38:38.380
that big over here yet. Yeah. And one of the

00:38:38.380 --> 00:38:44.139
reasons is because they were kind of like the

00:38:44.139 --> 00:38:48.320
secondary deep purple. Yeah. They were not this

00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:50.460
famous. And I'm talking about Glenn Hughes and

00:38:50.460 --> 00:38:54.199
David Coverdell. Yeah. People were aware of them

00:38:54.199 --> 00:38:57.369
and they liked their talent. Everyone was fond

00:38:57.369 --> 00:39:00.889
of Roger Glover and Ian Gillen more and more

00:39:00.889 --> 00:39:04.769
familiar with him. So the people in Europe didn't

00:39:04.769 --> 00:39:08.570
care. They loved all of it. So when David Coverdell

00:39:08.570 --> 00:39:10.829
came out with his group, he hit in Europe but

00:39:10.829 --> 00:39:13.510
did not hit here at all. I mean, as a matter

00:39:13.510 --> 00:39:15.929
of fact, it went nowhere at first, like it said.

00:39:16.110 --> 00:39:18.869
Yeah, funny. And they didn't even get a record

00:39:18.869 --> 00:39:21.590
contract over here until Geffen took him up in

00:39:21.590 --> 00:39:26.349
87 with the... I had self -titled one, even though

00:39:26.349 --> 00:39:29.230
it was like their fifth album. That's not uncommon.

00:39:29.409 --> 00:39:30.750
There's a number of bands that have put their

00:39:30.750 --> 00:39:32.949
self -titled album out late in their career.

00:39:33.090 --> 00:39:37.190
Motley Crue. Motley Crue, yeah. Let's see. And

00:39:37.190 --> 00:39:40.070
the last one is a pretty well -remembered one.

00:39:40.429 --> 00:39:43.690
Aerosmith's Dream On. It was released in 1973

00:39:43.690 --> 00:39:46.869
on their first album and just bombed. Bombed.

00:39:46.949 --> 00:39:48.929
It was panned by the critics. They thought it

00:39:48.929 --> 00:39:52.090
was sappy and stupid and poorly done. Two years

00:39:52.090 --> 00:39:54.780
later, when they... The album Toys in the Attic

00:39:54.780 --> 00:39:57.280
came out, and they started having hits with Walk

00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.000
This Way and Sweet Emotions. All of a sudden,

00:40:00.059 --> 00:40:02.400
the re -release of Dream On, and it just became

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:04.820
enormous. You couldn't get away from it. Yeah,

00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:07.739
and now you can't get away from that song. Yeah,

00:40:07.739 --> 00:40:10.599
and now I've heard it enough times that I'm okay

00:40:10.599 --> 00:40:12.239
not ever hearing it again. I'm okay not ever

00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:13.920
hearing it again. It's still a good song. That

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:18.500
was the ones that flopped on the initial release.

00:40:18.820 --> 00:40:25.219
That was really good. I have an old radio stunt

00:40:25.219 --> 00:40:28.980
here that I, full disclosure, I found this on

00:40:28.980 --> 00:40:32.980
the KY102 tribute website yesterday. And I thought

00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:35.659
this would be a good thing to cover. But, you

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:39.920
know, we all had our local morning shows that

00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:41.739
did very well. And some of them were a little

00:40:41.739 --> 00:40:44.739
bit more shocking than others, of course. So

00:40:44.739 --> 00:40:48.099
one of the ones that were actually probably best

00:40:48.099 --> 00:40:53.409
at it locally. Was Max Hannon Moffitt. Yeah.

00:40:53.510 --> 00:40:59.449
Of KY -102. Yeah. And so, this is from her Christopher

00:40:59.449 --> 00:41:04.010
Jr.'s column back, you know, I'm not even sure

00:41:04.010 --> 00:41:07.110
what year this was, but it was 99 -7, so it was

00:41:07.110 --> 00:41:10.570
later on, it was in the 90s at some point. So,

00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:15.809
and this is regarding Smurfing. Oh. So, or later

00:41:15.809 --> 00:41:19.690
on turned into Porky Pig. He's Porky Pigging

00:41:19.690 --> 00:41:23.989
it. Yeah. So here's the article, and this just

00:41:23.989 --> 00:41:26.969
happened, so it's going to say last week and

00:41:26.969 --> 00:41:30.369
stuff like that. So last week, 99 .7 KY Morning

00:41:30.369 --> 00:41:34.630
Show personality Max Floyd and Larry Moffat exported

00:41:34.630 --> 00:41:41.210
a pair of exotic dancers from the Gala Gentlemen's

00:41:41.210 --> 00:41:43.849
Club in Olathe for a little smurfing session.

00:41:44.230 --> 00:41:47.110
That's where topless women take a victory lap

00:41:47.110 --> 00:41:50.250
around a limo. During the broadcast. Oh, gosh.

00:41:50.809 --> 00:41:54.170
Olathe police saw it, pulled the group over,

00:41:54.230 --> 00:41:56.969
and referred the matter over to the city prosecutor's

00:41:56.969 --> 00:42:01.710
office. So, here is basically what it's saying

00:42:01.710 --> 00:42:04.849
here is they did not have a law to cover it,

00:42:04.869 --> 00:42:06.789
and they had to come up with a law to make sure

00:42:06.789 --> 00:42:09.050
that it didn't happen again. That's funny. There

00:42:09.050 --> 00:42:12.590
is no law against smurfing or porky -pigging

00:42:12.590 --> 00:42:17.230
up to that date in Olathe. And it took 99 .7

00:42:17.230 --> 00:42:20.949
to figure that out, and they did, and they exploited

00:42:20.949 --> 00:42:26.010
it. So they said, we are writing new ordinances

00:42:26.010 --> 00:42:28.670
to specifically address smurfing or what they

00:42:28.670 --> 00:42:31.909
call porky -pigging, because who would want topless

00:42:31.909 --> 00:42:34.230
or bottomless women in a private parking lot?

00:42:34.369 --> 00:42:37.730
That's what he said, but I could tell him who

00:42:37.730 --> 00:42:41.039
wants that. So anyhow. Luckily for the KY gang,

00:42:41.380 --> 00:42:44.639
they're all off the hook legally this time. Actually,

00:42:44.679 --> 00:42:48.440
we don't have any anti -nudity ordinance. Dickie,

00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:52.000
who was the city council at the time, said that

00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:54.139
they're going to have to work harder to come

00:42:54.139 --> 00:42:56.800
up with pranksters doing stuff like this in a

00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.420
way to cover it and to come up with some ordinances

00:42:59.420 --> 00:43:02.900
that would discourage this happening in the future.

00:43:03.659 --> 00:43:10.019
Wow, this is so old that... 96 .5 The Buzz just

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:13.579
came about. Oh, wow. It was just incarnated.

00:43:14.340 --> 00:43:20.159
And KLZR just switched to The Zone. Oh, I remember

00:43:20.159 --> 00:43:23.019
KLZR. Yeah, because they used to be an indie

00:43:23.019 --> 00:43:28.219
kind of alternative station. They just played

00:43:28.219 --> 00:43:30.219
what they wanted because they were college. And

00:43:30.219 --> 00:43:33.039
they were very good because they played stuff

00:43:33.039 --> 00:43:35.969
that no one else would. They didn't care. And

00:43:35.969 --> 00:43:38.389
this is when they flipped formats, and I don't

00:43:38.389 --> 00:43:39.650
know what they are now. I don't even know if

00:43:39.650 --> 00:43:42.630
they're still around. It's tough to know. Yeah,

00:43:42.650 --> 00:43:47.570
so. You know, that kind of raises an interesting

00:43:47.570 --> 00:43:52.989
question, is at what point does it become not

00:43:52.989 --> 00:43:56.949
okay for a woman or a female human being, I'll

00:43:56.949 --> 00:43:59.510
say it that way, a female human being to have

00:43:59.510 --> 00:44:02.590
bare breasts in public? I don't know. Well, a

00:44:02.590 --> 00:44:05.760
wife is. I guess has it covered now, but it didn't.

00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:09.139
But think about if a little two -year -old girl

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:11.219
is running around with her shirt off and just

00:44:11.219 --> 00:44:13.639
a diaper on, nobody cares. Yeah, that's true.

00:44:14.059 --> 00:44:17.099
So at what age does it suddenly become a problem,

00:44:17.179 --> 00:44:22.820
or is it breast size? Is it written in the law

00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:28.260
exactly at what point it becomes indecent exposure

00:44:28.260 --> 00:44:30.880
and against the law for a female human being

00:44:30.880 --> 00:44:33.179
to have her shirt off? How can you define something

00:44:33.179 --> 00:44:35.420
like that? I know. I think it's all just kind

00:44:35.420 --> 00:44:38.039
of vague. Well, that's what they took advantage

00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:40.420
of, is that right there. Because, you know, I've

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:45.400
seen an episode of the medical show ER. I saw

00:44:45.400 --> 00:44:50.079
an episode of that where they had an infant who

00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:53.300
was a girl, and they were moving her from one

00:44:53.300 --> 00:44:55.599
place to another, and this little girl was completely

00:44:55.599 --> 00:44:58.659
nude. You know, she was probably, you know, in

00:44:58.659 --> 00:45:00.679
the show she was supposed to be a few hours old,

00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:03.000
but in reality she was probably six months old.

00:45:04.340 --> 00:45:07.800
But you saw her completely bare chest, and you

00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:11.280
actually could see the slit of her vagina. Oh,

00:45:11.300 --> 00:45:14.380
my God. So there was full frontal nudity of a

00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:16.840
six -year -old girl on TV, and it was nobody

00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:18.920
cared. It was no big deal. It was not an issue.

00:45:19.820 --> 00:45:24.340
So at what age does it become a problem? At what

00:45:24.340 --> 00:45:29.500
age can you not show? Is it age? What about little

00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:32.079
boys? At what age can you not show a little boy's

00:45:32.079 --> 00:45:35.039
bare ass on TV before it becomes inappropriate?

00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.599
Do they actually have that written in law somewhere?

00:45:38.679 --> 00:45:40.300
I don't think they do. I don't think they do

00:45:40.300 --> 00:45:43.239
either. And another good example is breastfeeding.

00:45:43.460 --> 00:45:45.840
There are a lot of places where they say it's

00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:48.360
completely legal for a woman to breastfeed in

00:45:48.360 --> 00:45:52.440
public. But they never say how old the kid can

00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:57.010
be. So if you've got a woman whose kid is 17

00:45:57.010 --> 00:46:00.969
years old, she could legally whip her shirt off,

00:46:01.050 --> 00:46:03.929
the kid could latch on, and whether or not he's

00:46:03.929 --> 00:46:06.190
getting anything doesn't matter because it's

00:46:06.190 --> 00:46:09.349
legal. Or is a 17 -year -old suddenly illegal

00:46:09.349 --> 00:46:12.670
now? Good question. Because, you know, there's

00:46:12.670 --> 00:46:14.230
going to be somebody who's going to test it.

00:46:14.309 --> 00:46:16.730
It's like, oh, breastfeeding's okay, then I'm

00:46:16.730 --> 00:46:18.250
going to do, then I'm going to go out because

00:46:18.250 --> 00:46:20.280
you never said it had to be a woman. There's

00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:22.679
all sorts of ways you can take advantage of the

00:46:22.679 --> 00:46:24.860
law and just push it and say, all right, now

00:46:24.860 --> 00:46:27.739
you've got to very clearly define exactly what's

00:46:27.739 --> 00:46:31.360
illegal and what is okay. Yeah. I can see that

00:46:31.360 --> 00:46:34.920
becoming a giant mess. Yeah, the thing is, is

00:46:34.920 --> 00:46:37.579
how do you govern something like that? It's virtually

00:46:37.579 --> 00:46:39.780
impossible to. Yeah, because it's a judgment

00:46:39.780 --> 00:46:44.219
call. Yeah. And this goes back to everything.

00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:47.760
The judgment call goes all the way back to the

00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:52.789
people versus Larry Flint. Yep. What person views

00:46:52.789 --> 00:46:56.150
as smut, another person might view as art. Yep.

00:46:56.289 --> 00:46:59.869
And how can you prove any different? Yeah. It's

00:46:59.869 --> 00:47:02.909
virtually impossible to prove. Yeah. I'm sure

00:47:02.909 --> 00:47:05.449
there's all sorts of stuff that just slides all

00:47:05.449 --> 00:47:07.349
the way through the cracks because they can't

00:47:07.349 --> 00:47:09.849
nail it down. And they don't even want to try.

00:47:10.010 --> 00:47:11.909
Yeah. Because then they spend all their time

00:47:11.909 --> 00:47:14.670
in appeals court. Yeah, unless you're a Latham.

00:47:14.769 --> 00:47:16.610
Yeah. I guess they've got it figured out about

00:47:16.610 --> 00:47:19.989
smutting. Do you remember the, it was a copper

00:47:19.989 --> 00:47:25.170
tone suntan lotion. And their commercials, their

00:47:25.170 --> 00:47:29.489
print ads were always a girl about maybe five

00:47:29.489 --> 00:47:34.769
years old in a yellow bikini. And a dog was grabbing

00:47:34.769 --> 00:47:37.210
her bikini bottom and pulling it down and showing

00:47:37.210 --> 00:47:40.150
most of her ass. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And showing

00:47:40.150 --> 00:47:43.920
that she had tan lines. Yes. Yeah. Here was this

00:47:43.920 --> 00:47:47.199
advertisement in major magazines showing a five

00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:49.699
-year -old girl with her ass hanging out. Uh

00:47:49.699 --> 00:47:52.119
-huh. And supposedly that was okay because you

00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.619
were selling suntan lotion. Yeah. Really? Yeah.

00:47:57.099 --> 00:47:59.659
I'd forgotten all about that. Yeah. Oh, man,

00:47:59.739 --> 00:48:02.019
yeah, that was something else. What about the

00:48:02.019 --> 00:48:04.219
little cartoon pictures on the backs of people's

00:48:04.219 --> 00:48:06.400
pickup trucks that show a little boy pissing

00:48:06.400 --> 00:48:09.099
on something? Yes. That's a good point. Isn't

00:48:09.099 --> 00:48:11.920
that child pornography? If you've got pictures

00:48:11.920 --> 00:48:14.980
of little boys peeing on things, isn't that child

00:48:14.980 --> 00:48:17.039
pornography? I would think so. But here it is

00:48:17.039 --> 00:48:18.679
on the back of your pickup and you're making

00:48:18.679 --> 00:48:21.659
a statement. Because he's like pissing on a commie

00:48:21.659 --> 00:48:24.840
flag. Or a Raiders. Yeah, pissing on a Raiders

00:48:24.840 --> 00:48:28.199
logo. Still, you've got a picture of a little

00:48:28.199 --> 00:48:30.800
boy peeing on something. It was pants down, peeing

00:48:30.800 --> 00:48:33.380
on something on your truck. That's pornography.

00:48:33.639 --> 00:48:35.860
That is child pornography. And I don't think

00:48:35.860 --> 00:48:37.599
they do that anymore, do they? I've not seen

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:39.900
that in a long time. I started spreading the

00:48:39.900 --> 00:48:43.179
rumor that that's how pedophiles recognize each

00:48:43.179 --> 00:48:45.079
other because they've got a little picture of

00:48:45.079 --> 00:48:47.199
Calvin urinating on something in the back of

00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:49.139
their... That was Calvin from Calvin and the

00:48:49.139 --> 00:48:51.199
Hawks, right? Their big lifted pickup with the

00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:53.639
fake latex balls hanging from the trailer hitch.

00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:56.519
That's how pedophiles recognize each other in

00:48:56.519 --> 00:49:02.030
public. The transgendered truck. Yeah, that's

00:49:02.030 --> 00:49:03.730
a transgendered truck because it wasn't born

00:49:03.730 --> 00:49:06.050
with those latex balls hanging from its trailer

00:49:06.050 --> 00:49:09.090
hitch. Those were added on in a sex change operation

00:49:09.090 --> 00:49:12.050
for your pickup truck. So all those rednecks

00:49:12.050 --> 00:49:14.769
out there, they are fully supporting trans rights

00:49:14.769 --> 00:49:17.070
for pickup trucks. Yes, they are. And also, I

00:49:17.070 --> 00:49:19.849
would like to know, did they make sure that it

00:49:19.849 --> 00:49:22.570
was okay with the truck? Did they have legal

00:49:22.570 --> 00:49:26.219
consent? To do this? Did they fondle those latex

00:49:26.219 --> 00:49:27.559
balls while they were putting them on their truck?

00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:29.219
I would like to know that. Yes, I would. I would

00:49:29.219 --> 00:49:31.400
like to know that. Yeah? Yeah, I would like to

00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:36.539
do a saliva test too. And you know, if a woman

00:49:36.539 --> 00:49:38.619
is driving a pickup truck, does she get to hang

00:49:38.619 --> 00:49:41.059
like a latex vagina off the back of her trailer

00:49:41.059 --> 00:49:44.349
hitch? You know, I'm all for that. I think that's

00:49:44.349 --> 00:49:46.250
a great idea. Although if you want the analogous

00:49:46.250 --> 00:49:48.449
structure, you know, where the guy has testicles

00:49:48.449 --> 00:49:50.389
hanging from his pickup truck, then a woman should

00:49:50.389 --> 00:49:53.469
have, like, ovaries hanging from the back of

00:49:53.469 --> 00:49:55.530
her pickup truck. I think that's a great idea.

00:49:55.630 --> 00:49:58.170
I think it's a good idea, yeah. I mean, just

00:49:58.170 --> 00:50:00.329
make things even. Just make things even. You

00:50:00.329 --> 00:50:02.269
know, a little couple of ovaries hanging by their

00:50:02.269 --> 00:50:04.250
fallopian tubes, bouncing on the road, you're

00:50:04.250 --> 00:50:08.289
driving along. Why not? Yeah, I agree. Get a

00:50:08.289 --> 00:50:12.460
couple of big... veiny latex balls on your truck.

00:50:16.659 --> 00:50:20.079
I'm so glad that fat is gone. So am I. That was

00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.059
just ugly. But, you know, at least it helped

00:50:23.059 --> 00:50:25.719
you identify who the tools were out there. Oh,

00:50:25.739 --> 00:50:28.820
absolutely. Yeah. Balls on his pickup? Oh, yeah.

00:50:29.000 --> 00:50:30.900
Yep, yep. It's like, I'm staying away from this

00:50:30.900 --> 00:50:33.199
idiot. Don't make eye contact. Yeah, don't make

00:50:33.199 --> 00:50:34.920
eye contact. Don't engage him in a conversation.

00:50:35.300 --> 00:50:40.380
Yeah, don't bend over either. Well, I got a list

00:50:40.380 --> 00:50:43.159
of some songs that were either regretted or actively

00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:45.920
disliked by their creators. Oh, that guy sounds

00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:49.500
great. All right. Up first, we have Lana Del

00:50:49.500 --> 00:50:53.239
Rey with a song called Ultraviolence. I don't

00:50:53.239 --> 00:50:56.199
think I'm familiar with this. Initially, it had

00:50:56.199 --> 00:50:58.860
the lyric in there, quote, he hit me and it felt

00:50:58.860 --> 00:51:02.719
like a kiss. And she decided, you know, maybe

00:51:02.719 --> 00:51:05.139
it's not a good idea to sing that line anymore.

00:51:05.380 --> 00:51:08.139
I would say she's probably right on that aspect.

00:51:08.739 --> 00:51:11.320
Officially, she said she no longer supports the

00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:15.119
sentiment. And I was thinking, when would you

00:51:15.119 --> 00:51:18.840
have ever supported that sentiment? Yeah. He

00:51:18.840 --> 00:51:22.739
hits you and you feel loved? What? Oh, okay.

00:51:22.960 --> 00:51:26.079
Yeah, I don't think so. Katie Perry, I kissed

00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:29.070
the girl. expressed that she changed the lyrics

00:51:29.070 --> 00:51:31.949
due to stereotypes about bisexuality that evolved

00:51:31.949 --> 00:51:35.269
since 2008. No, I think the record company told

00:51:35.269 --> 00:51:38.510
her to. But it lets you know that she was trying

00:51:38.510 --> 00:51:42.730
to capitalize on the way the public felt about

00:51:42.730 --> 00:51:45.570
bisexuality at the time. That's why it was included

00:51:45.570 --> 00:51:47.869
in the song. When it stopped working for her,

00:51:47.909 --> 00:51:49.730
she took it back out. She took it back out, yep.

00:51:49.769 --> 00:51:52.510
It never meant anything. It never meant a thing.

00:51:52.670 --> 00:51:54.670
And she probably said that after she joined American

00:51:54.670 --> 00:51:59.550
Idol. Yeah. Lady Gaga, her song Telephone, featuring

00:51:59.550 --> 00:52:03.730
Beyonce. She just plain hates the song and can't

00:52:03.730 --> 00:52:06.170
even listen to it. She just thinks it's an awful

00:52:06.170 --> 00:52:09.329
song. No particular thing wrong with it, she

00:52:09.329 --> 00:52:13.829
just doesn't like it. But you know, an actor

00:52:13.829 --> 00:52:15.909
doesn't have to always like the movie he's in.

00:52:16.369 --> 00:52:19.510
No. It just kind of doesn't matter. No, it doesn't.

00:52:19.510 --> 00:52:23.199
You're right. Here's Paramore. Misery Business.

00:52:23.460 --> 00:52:25.500
Hayley Williams stopped performing this hit due

00:52:25.500 --> 00:52:34.579
to regret over the slut -shaming lyrics. Ariana

00:52:34.579 --> 00:52:38.639
Grande, Put Your Hearts Up. She called her debut

00:52:38.639 --> 00:52:41.460
single inauthentic and fake, and she says it

00:52:41.460 --> 00:52:44.519
gives her nightmares. She just hates that song.

00:52:44.880 --> 00:52:47.559
Wow. Yeah. Well, I'm sure she had absolutely

00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:49.860
nothing to do with writing it or arranging it.

00:52:49.900 --> 00:52:52.519
They got her in the studio and said, do this.

00:52:52.960 --> 00:52:58.119
And she did. Because she was obligated. James

00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:00.900
Blunt, You're Beautiful. He believes the song

00:53:00.900 --> 00:53:03.599
was marketed poorly and became utterly annoying

00:53:03.599 --> 00:53:06.599
to absolutely everybody. I would agree it became

00:53:06.599 --> 00:53:08.840
utterly annoying. It's kind of like Neil Diamond

00:53:08.840 --> 00:53:11.599
regretting how Sweet Caroline became so annoying

00:53:11.599 --> 00:53:14.300
to everybody. Yeah. Because it was just overexposure.

00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:18.829
Yep. Mandy Moore in the song Candy said her early

00:53:18.829 --> 00:53:22.210
pop work was awful and joked about giving refunds.

00:53:23.849 --> 00:53:26.130
I think a lot more bands should issue refunds.

00:53:26.130 --> 00:53:28.849
I think so, too. I think Metallica has to offer

00:53:28.849 --> 00:53:31.090
refunds for about four different albums, don't

00:53:31.090 --> 00:53:34.389
they? Yeah, if not more. If not more. I mean,

00:53:34.409 --> 00:53:36.449
actually, they need to pay pain and suffering,

00:53:36.550 --> 00:53:37.949
too. Yeah, that's true. I mean, it can't just

00:53:37.949 --> 00:53:39.809
be an even plunge. They've got to pay a little

00:53:39.809 --> 00:53:41.849
bit more. That was a lot of pain and suffering.

00:53:42.090 --> 00:53:46.460
Yeah. Radiohead in their song Creep. often felt

00:53:46.460 --> 00:53:49.480
forced to play their biggest hit, which they

00:53:49.480 --> 00:53:54.539
became bored with and grew to despise. Hey there,

00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:57.519
slap nuts. It's time for the Creeps Music News.

00:54:00.139 --> 00:54:02.639
Hey, my little pumpkin seeds. This is Johnny

00:54:02.639 --> 00:54:06.940
Rohypnol with your music news. John Karabi, former

00:54:06.940 --> 00:54:10.659
lead singer of Motley Crue and The Scream, has

00:54:10.659 --> 00:54:13.400
a new album coming out on April 24th called New

00:54:13.400 --> 00:54:16.420
Day. You can pre -order the album online. The

00:54:16.420 --> 00:54:19.340
effort features guitars like Richard Fortis from

00:54:19.340 --> 00:54:22.179
Guns N' Roses, Paul Taylor from winger Steve

00:54:22.179 --> 00:54:26.019
Perry on keyboards, Marty Freckerson, producer

00:54:26.019 --> 00:54:28.659
of Multi -Instrumentalist, and Charlie Starr

00:54:28.659 --> 00:54:31.579
from Blackberry Smoke on guitar solos, alongside

00:54:31.579 --> 00:54:35.199
Evan Freckerson on drums and bass. This should

00:54:35.199 --> 00:54:37.739
be a pretty good album. Sure has a lot of talent

00:54:37.739 --> 00:54:41.619
to go with it. This is Johnny Rohypnol. That

00:54:41.619 --> 00:54:44.480
was your Music News, and remember, Our chords

00:54:44.480 --> 00:54:49.920
are bullshit. Oh, I knew that, yeah. In fact,

00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:51.880
the guitar player hated it from the beginning.

00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:53.719
If you'll notice as they're leading into the

00:54:53.719 --> 00:54:56.260
chorus, he starts hitting those jangly, rough

00:54:56.260 --> 00:54:59.460
chords. Yeah. He was trying to sabotage the recording,

00:54:59.659 --> 00:55:02.219
but it didn't work. Yeah. It actually made the

00:55:02.219 --> 00:55:04.300
song sound a little bit better. It actually kind

00:55:04.300 --> 00:55:06.800
of worked, yeah. I remember playing it in the

00:55:06.800 --> 00:55:08.840
cover band, and the guitar player couldn't figure

00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:10.800
out the timing of that, and he always screwed

00:55:10.800 --> 00:55:17.610
it up. I thought it's not that tough. I don't

00:55:17.610 --> 00:55:19.469
know what would make it so tough. I don't think

00:55:19.469 --> 00:55:24.630
so either. Taylor Swift in her song Picture to

00:55:24.630 --> 00:55:27.449
Burn. She changed the lyric in the song that

00:55:27.449 --> 00:55:30.840
she deemed was homophobic. Of course. It's like,

00:55:30.860 --> 00:55:33.280
why would you put it in the first place? Yeah,

00:55:33.320 --> 00:55:35.679
that's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah, and so what

00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:37.880
happens is somebody suggested something, and

00:55:37.880 --> 00:55:40.519
she's like, I better go take it out. Yep. Yeah.

00:55:41.280 --> 00:55:43.179
Beastie Boys, you got to fight for your right

00:55:43.179 --> 00:55:46.559
to party. They were trying to make fun of the

00:55:46.559 --> 00:55:50.000
frat boy culture, but it wound up being the anthem

00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:52.679
for the frat boy culture. The very people they

00:55:52.679 --> 00:55:56.250
were making fun of adopted it as an anthem. Wow.

00:55:56.570 --> 00:55:58.809
Yeah, they were always trying to make you think,

00:55:58.869 --> 00:56:01.130
this is stupid, don't do it. And people said,

00:56:01.289 --> 00:56:04.289
wow, this is great, I'm going to do it. They're

00:56:04.289 --> 00:56:07.170
really fighting an establishment. I'm picturing

00:56:07.170 --> 00:56:09.650
Travis Kelsey saying it over and over and over

00:56:09.650 --> 00:56:11.510
because he just didn't get it that they were

00:56:11.510 --> 00:56:13.789
making fun of people like that. He did not get

00:56:13.789 --> 00:56:17.840
that. He did not. Good at football player. Kind

00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:21.179
of unaware socially. I think so. I think so.

00:56:21.539 --> 00:56:24.579
And last on the list is Jay -Z with the song

00:56:24.579 --> 00:56:28.880
Big Pimpin' has expressed regret over the misogynistic

00:56:28.880 --> 00:56:33.739
lyrics. But you look at a lot of rap and they

00:56:33.739 --> 00:56:37.199
treat women pretty badly in the lyrics of a lot

00:56:37.199 --> 00:56:40.719
of rap songs. I think there's a whole bunch you

00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:48.679
can be angry about. Yes, very easily. Yeah? Yeah.

00:56:49.119 --> 00:56:51.280
Okay. All right. Thank you. That was good. Thank

00:56:51.280 --> 00:56:56.340
you. All right. Let's see. I don't know if I

00:56:56.340 --> 00:56:58.940
want to go into anything too heavy here. I got

00:56:58.940 --> 00:57:03.159
a bunch of things that rock bands and rock stars

00:57:03.159 --> 00:57:05.500
did that got them in the most amount of trouble,

00:57:05.619 --> 00:57:08.179
as opposed to some of the stuff that they did

00:57:08.179 --> 00:57:10.519
that got them in some trouble. But I'm just going

00:57:10.519 --> 00:57:14.699
to do some stories, just random stories. Sounds

00:57:14.699 --> 00:57:18.230
good. All right. Okay, this one's saying, talk

00:57:18.230 --> 00:57:23.030
about making lemonade. Javier Yacht, a 23 -year

00:57:23.030 --> 00:57:25.530
-old mechanic in Brooklyn, New York, is lining

00:57:25.530 --> 00:57:28.929
his pockets of cash after setting up a tire station

00:57:28.929 --> 00:57:33.369
next to a huge pothole. Isn't that great? That's

00:57:33.369 --> 00:57:36.190
like the kids selling Girl Scout cookies next

00:57:36.190 --> 00:57:39.170
to the weed dispensary. Yes, it is capitalism.

00:57:39.269 --> 00:57:41.809
You figure something out, you find a market,

00:57:41.949 --> 00:57:50.320
and you do it. Wow. Okay, so this mechanic in

00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:52.420
Brooklyn is lining his pockets with cash after

00:57:52.420 --> 00:57:55.340
setting up a tire station next to the huge pothole.

00:57:55.460 --> 00:57:58.440
The New York Post reported March 17th, Yacht

00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.519
works out of his van and typically runs out of

00:58:01.519 --> 00:58:04.639
replacement tires each night. Wow. Isn't that

00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:07.380
something? So he has the tires right there and

00:58:07.380 --> 00:58:09.710
everything. He's probably paying the city not

00:58:09.710 --> 00:58:13.369
to fix the pothole. Yeah, I would. I would too.

00:58:13.809 --> 00:58:16.469
Do you want to keep getting tax money? I'd be

00:58:16.469 --> 00:58:18.230
contacting the street department and say, hey,

00:58:18.230 --> 00:58:20.010
forget this pothole and I'll give you 20 bucks

00:58:20.010 --> 00:58:28.349
a day. So he says I have to pay a runner to go

00:58:28.349 --> 00:58:30.530
back and forth to the shop and pick me up what

00:58:30.530 --> 00:58:33.980
I need, Yacht said. I think the pothole is approximately

00:58:33.980 --> 00:58:37.280
60 square inches by 12 inches deep. That's a

00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:41.260
big son of a bitch, he said. He arrives in the

00:58:41.260 --> 00:58:43.820
area around 12 .30 a .m. and stays there until

00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:47.440
10 a .m., changing 15 to 20 tires each night

00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:50.920
and charging between $150 and $300 per tire.

00:58:52.320 --> 00:58:56.820
Yep, one man's misfortune and another man's blessing,

00:58:57.079 --> 00:59:00.340
Yacht said. That is great, isn't it? Oh my gosh.

00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:03.599
You know, if the city's not going to fix it,

00:59:03.679 --> 00:59:06.380
why not? Well, and people are on board, obviously.

00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:08.820
Yeah. They're like, oh, you'll fix it right now?

00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:11.360
He's providing a needed service that people are

00:59:11.360 --> 00:59:13.360
willing to pay for. I hope no one's interfering

00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:16.059
with him. Oh, no, I believe people are probably

00:59:16.059 --> 00:59:18.500
thanking God he's standing there. Yeah. You know

00:59:18.500 --> 00:59:20.960
how many people, like 3 a .m., do not want to

00:59:20.960 --> 00:59:24.599
change a tire? Yeah, or have no idea how or are

00:59:24.599 --> 00:59:26.840
physically unable to. Yeah, well, that's another

00:59:26.840 --> 00:59:29.409
thing, too, is they don't have an idea. He's

00:59:29.409 --> 00:59:31.269
got everything right there, the floor jack, the

00:59:31.269 --> 00:59:33.809
tire, and everything. He throws your tire that's

00:59:33.809 --> 00:59:36.730
destroyed in your trunk, has a new tire on there,

00:59:36.829 --> 00:59:39.989
you're on your way. Hell, I swapped out a garbage

00:59:39.989 --> 00:59:42.329
disposal yesterday, and that was difficult enough,

00:59:42.409 --> 00:59:44.550
and I've already done it three times. Oh, shit,

00:59:44.630 --> 00:59:48.349
yeah. Oh, I've got my work cut out for me. I'm

00:59:48.349 --> 00:59:54.190
going to have to, since I'm buying my next automatic

00:59:54.190 --> 00:59:58.360
dishwasher from Costco. Well, someone said that

00:59:58.360 --> 01:00:01.340
they do tearouts, but I read on the webpage when

01:00:01.340 --> 01:00:03.719
I was getting ready to pay for it that it said

01:00:03.719 --> 01:00:06.579
that you have to have the old one ready to be

01:00:06.579 --> 01:00:10.219
taken on the truck and disposed of, and then

01:00:10.219 --> 01:00:14.199
they'll install the new one for free. So I have

01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:16.780
to tear out the old one and then keep it as is

01:00:16.780 --> 01:00:20.199
until they come and put the new one in. Yeah.

01:00:21.429 --> 01:00:24.329
I think there's just like a few screws holding

01:00:24.329 --> 01:00:26.909
the front arm to the cabinetry. And then there's

01:00:26.909 --> 01:00:30.630
like one electrical cord, water supply, and a

01:00:30.630 --> 01:00:32.449
water drain. I think that's about the only connection.

01:00:32.449 --> 01:00:34.250
Yeah, I think the water supply and the water

01:00:34.250 --> 01:00:38.570
drain is going to be the most, you know, let's

01:00:38.570 --> 01:00:40.829
see, involved. And then you want to make sure

01:00:40.829 --> 01:00:42.670
you don't scratch up your floor pulling it out

01:00:42.670 --> 01:00:44.210
because they're not really designed to treat

01:00:44.210 --> 01:00:46.429
your floor nicely. Oh, no, no, no. They've probably

01:00:46.429 --> 01:00:48.369
got, like, metal runners on the bottom of them.

01:00:48.389 --> 01:00:50.929
Yes. Yeah, there's no wheels on those things.

01:00:51.369 --> 01:00:54.030
Well, that's where the dolly comes in. As soon

01:00:54.030 --> 01:00:58.230
as I get that thing detached, it's going on that

01:00:58.230 --> 01:01:04.530
dolly. The back saver. Yeah, yep. Anyhow, you

01:01:04.530 --> 01:01:06.690
got something? Yeah, I got a story about the

01:01:06.690 --> 01:01:09.570
Fender Musical Instrument Company has been in

01:01:09.570 --> 01:01:14.070
court. Okay. And they've secured a major legal

01:01:14.070 --> 01:01:19.329
victory. Okay. As of March 26, 2026, Fender has

01:01:19.329 --> 01:01:21.650
secured a major legal victory in Germany with

01:01:21.650 --> 01:01:24.130
a court ruling that the Stratocaster body design

01:01:24.130 --> 01:01:28.409
is protected under copyright law. This allows

01:01:28.409 --> 01:01:31.090
Fender to stop the sale and import of infringing

01:01:31.090 --> 01:01:35.019
Strat style... guitars into the European Union

01:01:35.019 --> 01:01:37.980
aimed at curbing counterfeiters and copycat manufacturers.

01:01:38.940 --> 01:01:42.340
The ruling by the Regional Court of Dusseldorf

01:01:42.340 --> 01:01:45.260
prohibits Yiwu Philharmonic Musical Instrument

01:01:45.260 --> 01:01:49.059
Company, which is a Chinese affiliated with AliExpress,

01:01:49.280 --> 01:01:52.099
from selling guitars featuring the Stratocaster

01:01:52.099 --> 01:01:55.440
body shape in the Germany or the European Union.

01:01:56.889 --> 01:01:59.750
The Stratocaster body was deemed a work of applied

01:01:59.750 --> 01:02:02.449
art rather than merely functional, granting it

01:02:02.449 --> 01:02:04.570
stronger protection than standard trademarks.

01:02:05.710 --> 01:02:09.469
Violations can result in fines of up to 250 ,000

01:02:09.469 --> 01:02:13.630
euros per instance or imprisonment. Okay, so

01:02:13.630 --> 01:02:16.710
this is for the shape, the shape of the body.

01:02:16.789 --> 01:02:19.190
Now, the headstock shape has been declared public

01:02:19.190 --> 01:02:22.150
domain. Okay, that's what I was getting at. So

01:02:22.150 --> 01:02:25.849
the headstock, no one can see. Because straps

01:02:25.849 --> 01:02:28.269
have... I'm sorry, it's the opposite. The headstock

01:02:28.269 --> 01:02:32.250
is copyrighted. Yes. But the body shape in the

01:02:32.250 --> 01:02:35.190
U .S. is considered public domain, along with

01:02:35.190 --> 01:02:38.550
Les Paul body styles, Telecaster body styles.

01:02:38.690 --> 01:02:41.469
Those are all SG. Those are all considered public

01:02:41.469 --> 01:02:44.170
domain. That's why all the other sorts of places

01:02:44.170 --> 01:02:47.210
make them. But headstocks are protected. Yeah,

01:02:47.369 --> 01:02:50.949
true. Yeah. This ruling establishes a strong

01:02:50.949 --> 01:02:52.809
precedent for protecting Fender's intellectual

01:02:52.809 --> 01:02:56.030
property, potentially impacting various manufacturers

01:02:56.030 --> 01:02:59.050
producing similar, cheaper, or lawsuit -era style

01:02:59.050 --> 01:03:02.530
instruments. And then I had a little recap on

01:03:02.530 --> 01:03:08.570
the lawsuit era. Okay. Its origins are the Ibanez

01:03:08.570 --> 01:03:13.269
lawsuit in 1977. It was actually filed by Gibson

01:03:13.269 --> 01:03:17.409
against Ibanez. At that time, Gibson was owned

01:03:17.409 --> 01:03:20.880
by... Norlin, and Ibanez was owned by Hoshino.

01:03:21.599 --> 01:03:24.820
And they copied Gibson's open book headstock

01:03:24.820 --> 01:03:27.380
design. I think I remember a little bit about

01:03:27.380 --> 01:03:30.500
that, even though I wasn't really that aware

01:03:30.500 --> 01:03:32.860
of lawsuits at the time. I remember reading something

01:03:32.860 --> 01:03:35.309
about that. And that was kind of groundbreaking

01:03:35.309 --> 01:03:39.530
on the design of guitars and how, you know, it's

01:03:39.530 --> 01:03:43.369
proprietary. Yeah. In fact, if you go on the

01:03:43.369 --> 01:03:48.090
used instrument sites, you can see lawsuit -era

01:03:48.090 --> 01:03:51.530
guitars marketed as lawsuit -era guitars, and

01:03:51.530 --> 01:03:54.090
they look exactly like the thing they're copying,

01:03:54.230 --> 01:03:57.250
down to every detail. Oh, wow. And that's what

01:03:57.250 --> 01:03:59.400
got him in trouble. It's like, eh, you're not

01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:01.659
even trying. You're just doing a straight -up

01:04:01.659 --> 01:04:02.500
counterfeiting. Yeah, you're just completely

01:04:02.500 --> 01:04:05.800
counterfeiting what I'm saying. So, anyway, that

01:04:05.800 --> 01:04:09.960
protects Fender in Europe. Okay. Yeah, but not

01:04:09.960 --> 01:04:12.739
here. Not here. Not here. The Strat body is public

01:04:12.739 --> 01:04:15.440
domain. And obviously you can tell it is because

01:04:15.440 --> 01:04:18.340
it's everywhere. Yeah, Yamaha makes a guitar

01:04:18.340 --> 01:04:21.000
called Pacifica that looks almost exactly like

01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:25.699
a Strat. Yeah, yep. And then there's... PRS Silver

01:04:25.699 --> 01:04:27.880
Sky. Yes. Different except for the headstock.

01:04:28.099 --> 01:04:30.659
I mean, same except for the headstock. Same except

01:04:30.659 --> 01:04:35.300
for the headstock, yeah. Okay, is that it? That

01:04:35.300 --> 01:04:40.650
was it. Okay. Here are some things that... that

01:04:40.650 --> 01:04:43.050
people don't realize happened, some famous arrests

01:04:43.050 --> 01:04:45.409
and stuff like that? Oh, cool, yeah. Okay. Well,

01:04:45.530 --> 01:04:49.250
Keith Richards bounced with the stuff of rock

01:04:49.250 --> 01:04:52.329
and roll lore. His bandmates, Mick Jagger, Brian

01:04:52.329 --> 01:04:54.840
Jones, and Bill Lyman. are all in the books for

01:04:54.840 --> 01:04:58.099
the silliest legal run -in in the Stones' history.

01:04:58.320 --> 01:05:02.179
Oh boy. Yeah. On the night of March 18, 1965,

01:05:02.840 --> 01:05:05.420
along the way home from the gig, the band stopped

01:05:05.420 --> 01:05:10.980
at a gas station in East Ham, UK, and asked if

01:05:10.980 --> 01:05:13.570
they could use the restroom. When the attendant's

01:05:13.570 --> 01:05:15.949
Charles Keeley, who didn't care for the long

01:05:15.949 --> 01:05:18.750
-haired sort, refused to hand over the lavatory

01:05:18.750 --> 01:05:22.230
key, Jagger uttered the immortal words, We'll

01:05:22.230 --> 01:05:28.429
piss anywhere, man. Which the rest of the Stones

01:05:28.429 --> 01:05:32.909
took up as a chant and once danced to that phrase.

01:05:33.389 --> 01:05:36.530
A traumatized Keeley later recounted in court,

01:05:36.690 --> 01:05:40.670
while Wyman relieved himself on the station wall.

01:05:41.309 --> 01:05:44.130
Jagger, Wyman, and Jones were fined five pounds

01:05:44.130 --> 01:05:47.170
and change, a small price to pay for their incident

01:05:47.170 --> 01:05:49.429
that significantly burnished their rebellious

01:05:49.429 --> 01:05:51.869
credentials. Oh, yeah. You can't buy publicity

01:05:51.869 --> 01:05:54.469
like that, man. That's awesome. No, no, no, no,

01:05:54.550 --> 01:05:59.309
no. So it sounds to me like only one of them

01:05:59.309 --> 01:06:01.510
was pissing, and that was Wyman. Yeah. And the

01:06:01.510 --> 01:06:03.570
rest of them were, like, threatening to piss.

01:06:06.440 --> 01:06:08.860
But listen, if that old bastard that wouldn't

01:06:08.860 --> 01:06:11.039
let him go piss wouldn't have done that because

01:06:11.039 --> 01:06:13.559
he didn't like long hairs, this whole thing wouldn't

01:06:13.559 --> 01:06:16.659
have happened. Being able to pee is like a basic

01:06:16.659 --> 01:06:18.900
human right, I think. Yeah, I don't care if you

01:06:18.900 --> 01:06:21.320
like long hairs or not. And also, they were the

01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:23.059
stones. If they tore it up, they were paying

01:06:23.059 --> 01:06:25.559
for it. Oh, yeah, they had plenty of money. Yeah,

01:06:25.599 --> 01:06:29.059
so, anyhow. That's fun. Yeah, I think if I was

01:06:29.059 --> 01:06:30.699
them, I would have pissed on it too and said,

01:06:30.760 --> 01:06:33.440
all right, that's okay. We'll do this the other

01:06:33.440 --> 01:06:38.630
way. Alright, one of the greatest drummers in

01:06:38.630 --> 01:06:40.789
rock history, the Who's Keep Moon, was equally

01:06:40.789 --> 01:06:44.489
legendary for the epic swath of destruction he

01:06:44.489 --> 01:06:47.909
left in his wake during his brief time on Earth,

01:06:48.010 --> 01:06:51.590
which he did die very young. Was it alcohol poisoning

01:06:51.590 --> 01:06:53.690
or was it drugs? I think it was alcohol. Yeah,

01:06:54.030 --> 01:06:56.389
and he was taking another medication and the

01:06:56.389 --> 01:06:59.409
two didn't agree very well, but he did drink

01:06:59.409 --> 01:07:03.619
way too much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was drinking

01:07:03.619 --> 01:07:05.820
way too much with the medication, that's right.

01:07:06.019 --> 01:07:09.000
His legend was officially cemented on August

01:07:09.000 --> 01:07:13.500
23rd, 1967, when he was arrested after celebrating

01:07:13.500 --> 01:07:17.440
his 21st birthday. It was really only his 20th

01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:19.420
that Keith wanted to be able to have a drink.

01:07:19.949 --> 01:07:22.090
with a food fight at a Flint, Michigan holiday

01:07:22.090 --> 01:07:25.909
inn that escalated into full -scale mayhem. Rooms

01:07:25.909 --> 01:07:28.789
were trashed, toilets exploded, fire extinguishers

01:07:28.789 --> 01:07:31.329
set off, and a Lincoln Continental rolled into

01:07:31.329 --> 01:07:33.929
the swimming pool with a naked moon behind the

01:07:33.929 --> 01:07:40.309
wheel. That's a rock star. Yeah, that's rock

01:07:40.309 --> 01:07:44.269
star quality. Yes. Before jailing him, the Flint

01:07:44.269 --> 01:07:47.369
police escorted Moon, who broke into a tube while

01:07:47.369 --> 01:07:50.960
attempting to flee. To a local dentist. Well,

01:07:51.059 --> 01:07:52.980
he got a little preferential treatment there.

01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:57.059
Yeah. So, yeah. So, anyhow, someone doesn't know

01:07:57.059 --> 01:08:00.000
how to control their face. Yeah. Somebody's farting

01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.039
really, really loudly in his car. Yeah. Yeah.

01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:06.599
Okay, the droner was supposedly so drunk that

01:08:06.599 --> 01:08:11.099
he didn't require Novocaine. I can see that.

01:08:11.199 --> 01:08:14.380
I can too. The whole day in chainset, he went...

01:08:14.619 --> 01:08:18.539
The Who owed $24 ,000 in damages, banned a group

01:08:18.539 --> 01:08:21.199
from further stays of any of their motels, not

01:08:21.199 --> 01:08:26.920
just where that happened, but anywhere. And...

01:08:26.920 --> 01:08:31.220
Got something you want to go into? I got a bunch

01:08:31.220 --> 01:08:33.739
of them. Yeah, I got something I want to tack

01:08:33.739 --> 01:08:37.500
on there. I remember... I'm trying to remember

01:08:37.500 --> 01:08:40.100
who wrote the book. I think it was Bob Gruen

01:08:40.100 --> 01:08:42.859
who was writing this story about the time when

01:08:42.859 --> 01:08:46.029
he actually... went on tour with the Alice Cooper

01:08:46.029 --> 01:08:49.430
group and played Santa Claus during the stage

01:08:49.430 --> 01:08:53.949
show. He said there was one hotel where they

01:08:53.949 --> 01:08:57.109
were staying and the gig had gotten canceled

01:08:57.109 --> 01:08:59.789
because the town decided they didn't like these

01:08:59.789 --> 01:09:02.130
long -haired weirdos from Alice Cooper coming

01:09:02.130 --> 01:09:05.970
in and playing in their town. So they were at

01:09:05.970 --> 01:09:08.510
the hotel, they were bored, and the drummer,

01:09:08.569 --> 01:09:10.489
Neil Smith, decided he was going to trash the

01:09:10.489 --> 01:09:13.510
hotel. Now, Neil Smith was a big fan of Keith

01:09:13.510 --> 01:09:17.750
Moon. This was before his football days. And

01:09:17.750 --> 01:09:21.170
he was white then. Yes, and about 6 '5". And

01:09:21.170 --> 01:09:23.409
Keith Moon was also a big fan of Neil Smith.

01:09:23.729 --> 01:09:26.409
They had a very friendly rivalry going on about

01:09:26.409 --> 01:09:28.750
who could have the biggest drum set and stuff.

01:09:29.609 --> 01:09:32.689
So Neil Smith wanted to try to outdo Keith Moon

01:09:32.689 --> 01:09:36.670
as far as hotel trashing. So he was running around

01:09:36.670 --> 01:09:42.529
this hotel. They were in Utica, New York. And

01:09:42.529 --> 01:09:45.510
they had refused to let them play. So he was

01:09:45.510 --> 01:09:49.210
running around swearing and cursing at Uterus,

01:09:49.210 --> 01:09:55.909
New York. And he was breaking TVs. He was flooding

01:09:55.909 --> 01:09:58.710
rooms. He was ripping walls. He was doing all

01:09:58.710 --> 01:10:02.430
sorts of terrible shit. And one member of the

01:10:02.430 --> 01:10:04.890
crew was running around behind him with a clipboard

01:10:04.890 --> 01:10:08.319
writing down all the damage he did. to keep track

01:10:08.319 --> 01:10:10.380
of it. Because they were going to charge him

01:10:10.380 --> 01:10:11.779
for it. I mean, the band was going to have to

01:10:11.779 --> 01:10:13.439
pay, but they were going to take it out of Neil's

01:10:13.439 --> 01:10:16.000
personal funds. Good. And he was like, you know,

01:10:16.020 --> 01:10:17.939
dude, you can do whatever you want. You can break

01:10:17.939 --> 01:10:19.640
as much stuff, but you're paying for every penny

01:10:19.640 --> 01:10:21.819
of it. I think I would have done the same thing.

01:10:21.840 --> 01:10:24.800
If you want to do that, then okay. So for like

01:10:24.800 --> 01:10:26.960
two hours, he ran around the hotel destroying

01:10:26.960 --> 01:10:29.420
things. And then he went back to his room and

01:10:29.420 --> 01:10:31.659
fell asleep. And the next morning, about 7 o

01:10:31.659 --> 01:10:34.260
'clock, he woke up with his just most brutal

01:10:34.260 --> 01:10:38.670
hangover ever. And he said the drummer was sitting

01:10:38.670 --> 01:10:41.789
on his bed with sunglasses on while a religious

01:10:41.789 --> 01:10:44.069
program was showing on TV because it was Sunday

01:10:44.069 --> 01:10:47.529
morning. And the hotel manager came busting in

01:10:47.529 --> 01:10:50.930
to look for more damage. You know, he was checking

01:10:50.930 --> 01:10:53.850
the damage. And he looked in and saw the room

01:10:53.850 --> 01:10:56.529
was fine and Neil Smith just sitting there watching

01:10:56.529 --> 01:10:59.289
a religious program. And he said, now see if

01:10:59.289 --> 01:11:01.050
the rest of your group would just behave like

01:11:01.050 --> 01:11:03.329
this young man here, we wouldn't have these troubles.

01:11:07.460 --> 01:11:11.479
Oh, yeah. Yeah. I try to talk to them every day.

01:11:13.779 --> 01:11:16.640
Oh, I love that. That was one of my favorite

01:11:16.640 --> 01:11:21.800
stories. Anyway, I got a list of musicians who

01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:24.199
were fired and then went on to have great success.

01:11:24.560 --> 01:11:31.020
Oh, I like that. That's really good. Occasionally

01:11:31.020 --> 01:11:33.479
we get people who... just decide that they want

01:11:33.479 --> 01:11:35.300
to be noisy just for the hell of it as they're

01:11:35.300 --> 01:11:38.020
walking by the table. They're easy to spot. Yeah,

01:11:38.020 --> 01:11:41.600
they are. They're the ones with not much going

01:11:41.600 --> 01:11:44.939
on in their lives. Exactly. Okay, musicians who

01:11:44.939 --> 01:11:47.859
succeeded after being fired. Pretty common one,

01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:51.439
Dave Mustaine. Yes. Fired from Metallica. Went

01:11:51.439 --> 01:11:55.159
on for Megadeth and has had a great, great run

01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:57.760
with Megadeth. And is not as embarrassed over

01:11:57.760 --> 01:11:59.960
their body and work like Metallica should. Yeah,

01:11:59.960 --> 01:12:02.729
that's true. Megadeth didn't have a stretch of

01:12:02.729 --> 01:12:04.550
really crappy albums that they were trying to

01:12:04.550 --> 01:12:08.850
make. Fired from Metallica due to issues with

01:12:08.850 --> 01:12:11.489
alcohol and infighting, Mustaine formed Megadeth,

01:12:11.550 --> 01:12:13.609
which became one of the most successful heavy

01:12:13.609 --> 01:12:15.869
metal bands in history. Now, what I had heard

01:12:15.869 --> 01:12:18.869
was that not only was it alcohol, but that he

01:12:18.869 --> 01:12:21.369
was a mean drunk. And the rest of the guys in

01:12:21.369 --> 01:12:24.109
Metallica were happy drunks. So they just didn't

01:12:24.109 --> 01:12:28.609
get along. Well, he admitted that he was not

01:12:28.609 --> 01:12:31.640
a very... Easy person to get along with. Yeah,

01:12:31.640 --> 01:12:36.520
yeah. Next up, very obvious, Ozzy Osbourne, who

01:12:36.520 --> 01:12:38.720
got canned from Black Sabbath and went solo.

01:12:40.270 --> 01:12:43.090
Fired in 79 due to severe drug and alcohol abuse,

01:12:43.350 --> 01:12:46.310
he reinvented himself as a solo artist and reality

01:12:46.310 --> 01:12:50.010
TV star and launched the very successful OzFest.

01:12:50.130 --> 01:12:54.409
Yes. And we've talked about this before. Black

01:12:54.409 --> 01:12:57.829
Sabbath firing Ozzy gave us two great bands instead

01:12:57.829 --> 01:13:00.390
of one. Yes. So they did the world of rock and

01:13:00.390 --> 01:13:03.050
roll an enormous favor. They went on with Dio.

01:13:03.689 --> 01:13:07.050
To me, that was my favorite form of Black Sabbath

01:13:07.050 --> 01:13:09.590
was with Dio. I love the Ozzy stuff in there.

01:13:09.680 --> 01:13:12.779
I prefer Ozzy, Solo, and Sabbath with Dio. Yeah.

01:13:12.880 --> 01:13:14.920
I just thought that each one of them did better

01:13:14.920 --> 01:13:20.819
music apart. Yeah, yeah. I agree. Next, Lemmy

01:13:20.819 --> 01:13:24.180
Kilmister was fired from Hawkwind. Hawkwind,

01:13:24.260 --> 01:13:27.380
yeah. Or the Motorhead. Yep. After being fired

01:13:27.380 --> 01:13:30.399
from the space rock band Hawkwind in 1975 for

01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:34.479
drug possession, Lemmy founded Motorhead, becoming

01:13:34.479 --> 01:13:39.020
a heavy metal icon. Next up we have Jimi Hendrix.

01:13:39.720 --> 01:13:43.100
Did you know he got fired? He was a backup musician

01:13:43.100 --> 01:13:47.359
for Little Richard. Wow. Yeah, it's funny to

01:13:47.359 --> 01:13:50.420
see pictures of it. I bet. He's there looking

01:13:50.420 --> 01:13:53.079
completely normal and straight, standing behind

01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:59.170
Keith Richard playing guitar. Anyway. Little

01:13:59.170 --> 01:14:02.470
Richard fired him in 1965. His guitar style had

01:14:02.470 --> 01:14:04.390
to have been completely different. Yeah, yeah.

01:14:04.510 --> 01:14:07.149
I mean, when you're in Little Richard's band,

01:14:07.270 --> 01:14:10.189
you play what he tells you. So he wasn't able

01:14:10.189 --> 01:14:13.029
to really do a whole lot. Still, he was fired

01:14:13.029 --> 01:14:15.189
because he was upstaging Little Richard every

01:14:15.189 --> 01:14:19.729
show. It's like, no, I'm the star. Which is hard

01:14:19.729 --> 01:14:23.529
to do. Little Richard was pretty eye -catching.

01:14:23.649 --> 01:14:28.810
He was, yeah, very flamboyant. Former hairdresser.

01:14:29.010 --> 01:14:33.369
Yeah, yes. And rumors persist about his sexual

01:14:33.369 --> 01:14:36.430
tendencies, but really, who cares? Yeah, now

01:14:36.430 --> 01:14:39.310
it doesn't care. Doesn't matter. But, yeah, back

01:14:39.310 --> 01:14:42.569
at the time, a gay black man... putting out rock

01:14:42.569 --> 01:14:44.510
and roll for the youth of America, that was a

01:14:44.510 --> 01:14:47.510
big deal. Yeah. That was a big deal. They had

01:14:47.510 --> 01:14:49.750
to look at the rule book and see if that was

01:14:49.750 --> 01:14:52.029
allowed. Yes. Like, hang on, someone go look.

01:14:54.090 --> 01:14:57.949
Here's a bizarre one. Courtney Love was fired

01:14:57.949 --> 01:15:01.649
from Faith No More. Huh? She was the lead singer

01:15:01.649 --> 01:15:03.810
of Faith No More for a while. Was it Mike Patton?

01:15:03.930 --> 01:15:06.770
Yep. There's actually somebody else in between

01:15:06.770 --> 01:15:10.380
than Mike Patton. Wow! Yeah. She basically, she

01:15:10.380 --> 01:15:12.220
saw one of their gigs, I think they were based

01:15:12.220 --> 01:15:15.439
in San Francisco at the time, and she bullied

01:15:15.439 --> 01:15:18.899
her way onto stage and convinced them that she

01:15:18.899 --> 01:15:21.079
knew exactly what they needed a lead singer and

01:15:21.079 --> 01:15:24.539
she could do it. But the band said it quickly

01:15:24.539 --> 01:15:26.800
became the Courtney Love Show. Everything was

01:15:26.800 --> 01:15:29.260
about her center of attention, everything had

01:15:29.260 --> 01:15:32.510
to be done her way, and she was just awful. It

01:15:32.510 --> 01:15:35.369
was like, yeah, you came in and took over our

01:15:35.369 --> 01:15:39.810
band, and you're ruining things, so bye. And

01:15:39.810 --> 01:15:42.710
she went on to great success with Hole as the

01:15:42.710 --> 01:15:45.689
solo artist, and then she buried into a lot of

01:15:45.689 --> 01:15:49.510
wealth and success as well. Yeah, true. Guitar

01:15:49.510 --> 01:15:53.689
player Ronnie Wood was fired by Jeff Beck almost

01:15:53.689 --> 01:15:59.180
daily. Oh, yeah, that's true. Eventually moved

01:15:59.180 --> 01:16:05.039
on to the Rolling Stones. Yes. And it was about

01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:09.979
Daley. He was fired. Another person that got

01:16:09.979 --> 01:16:13.079
fired over and over and over again was John McVie.

01:16:13.460 --> 01:16:17.800
Was fired by John Mayall. Mayall and the Blues

01:16:17.800 --> 01:16:20.680
Breakers. And he kept getting fired and then

01:16:20.680 --> 01:16:23.199
rehired and then fired and rehired. And finally

01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:26.539
he stole the drummer. Mick Fleetwood and said,

01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:30.840
hey, let's go form our own band. Yep, which did

01:16:30.840 --> 01:16:37.840
very much better. And then electronic music artist

01:16:37.840 --> 01:16:42.880
and producer Brian Eno was once a member of Roxy

01:16:42.880 --> 01:16:46.500
Music. Wow. And Brian Ferry didn't like him anymore

01:16:46.500 --> 01:16:49.539
and said, you're out. And Brian Eno went on to

01:16:49.539 --> 01:16:52.760
massive success. Yeah. And Roxy Music has still

01:16:52.760 --> 01:16:55.119
got a following, but they were never really all

01:16:55.119 --> 01:16:58.380
that big. No. Great music. I mean, it's got some

01:16:58.380 --> 01:17:00.859
amazing stuff. It just never really hit mainstream.

01:17:01.159 --> 01:17:04.560
One of their songs called More Than This has

01:17:04.560 --> 01:17:07.260
been redone by a country artist, and it was actually

01:17:07.260 --> 01:17:10.380
done really well. Really? Yeah. I thought he

01:17:10.380 --> 01:17:13.779
did an excellent job. I mean, well, there are

01:17:13.779 --> 01:17:16.800
country artists that cover some stuff. Like whoever...

01:17:17.039 --> 01:17:22.100
Who covered Tracy Chapman's Fast Car? Oh, I can't

01:17:22.100 --> 01:17:24.119
remember, but I saw it just the other day. It

01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:27.100
was a guy, not a girl. Yeah, and it did it really

01:17:27.100 --> 01:17:29.579
well. And then there's Air of the Night by Phil

01:17:29.579 --> 01:17:34.539
Collins, covered by Chris Stapleton. Yeah, there's

01:17:34.539 --> 01:17:37.100
something about country artists covering some

01:17:37.100 --> 01:17:39.779
of these mainstream songs that seem to do it

01:17:39.779 --> 01:17:45.119
very well. They don't half -ass it. Al Cooper.

01:17:45.930 --> 01:17:49.350
Cooper with a K. Keyboard player for Blood, Sweat,

01:17:49.350 --> 01:17:51.890
and Tears. Now, depending on who you listen to,

01:17:51.989 --> 01:17:54.510
he either left on his own or was fired. Yeah.

01:17:54.630 --> 01:17:58.090
But he went on to have a massive career. In fact,

01:17:58.090 --> 01:18:02.149
he still does. Songwriter, producer, session

01:18:02.149 --> 01:18:06.649
musician, solo artist. Just enormous amount.

01:18:06.710 --> 01:18:09.409
I started looking at his body of work to try

01:18:09.409 --> 01:18:12.109
to, you know, there's just too many pages. It

01:18:12.109 --> 01:18:14.810
was like page after page. The guy has never stopped

01:18:14.810 --> 01:18:17.430
working. I mean, getting fired from Blood, Sweat,

01:18:17.430 --> 01:18:18.890
and Tears was probably the best thing that ever

01:18:18.890 --> 01:18:20.489
happened to him because that band went nowhere.

01:18:20.750 --> 01:18:24.229
Yeah. Everyone likes Chicago better. Yeah. Yeah.

01:18:25.550 --> 01:18:27.710
And they were better. Yeah, they kind of were.

01:18:28.909 --> 01:18:32.029
Let's see. Cab Calloway fired Dizzy Gillespie.

01:18:32.250 --> 01:18:36.130
Wow. For throwing spitballs behind his back on

01:18:36.130 --> 01:18:38.550
the bandstand and then getting into a knife fight

01:18:38.550 --> 01:18:42.680
with him. I think if a guy gets into a knife

01:18:42.680 --> 01:18:44.300
fight with me, I'm going to fire him too. I think

01:18:44.300 --> 01:18:46.720
I'm going to too. The spitballs are questionable.

01:18:46.920 --> 01:18:49.079
The knife fight, yeah, that would be the turning

01:18:49.079 --> 01:18:55.800
point. James Brown fired Bootsy Collins. Actually,

01:18:56.060 --> 01:18:58.420
I knew that. Who went on to fame, if not fortune,

01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:01.760
on his own and with George Clinton. There's another

01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:05.000
enormously underrated artist as George Clinton.

01:19:05.000 --> 01:19:08.720
I would agree. That guy was an absolute monster

01:19:08.720 --> 01:19:11.039
of music. He kind of got pigeonholed, in my opinion,

01:19:11.180 --> 01:19:14.180
of the type of music that he did. He actually

01:19:14.180 --> 01:19:17.000
probably should have extended and expanded out

01:19:17.000 --> 01:19:20.359
further than what he did. So Erwin kind of looked

01:19:20.359 --> 01:19:22.520
at it as, what would you call it, kind of like

01:19:22.520 --> 01:19:27.939
Rastafarian. With a little psychedelic and a

01:19:27.939 --> 01:19:30.579
lot of funk. Yeah, they weren't considered niche

01:19:30.579 --> 01:19:32.439
when they actually could have been a lot more

01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:36.960
mainstream. So yeah, I would agree. Yeah, I'm

01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:39.359
definitely going to look into more George Clinton.

01:19:39.640 --> 01:19:44.300
Yeah. Let's see, John Coltrane. He did pretty

01:19:44.300 --> 01:19:49.739
okay after being fired by Miles Davis. Oh, wow.

01:19:49.939 --> 01:19:52.340
John Coltrane and the Love Supreme. I didn't

01:19:52.340 --> 01:19:54.340
know he was fired by Miles Davis, but yeah, he

01:19:54.340 --> 01:19:56.600
did good. I think Miles Davis himself was fired

01:19:56.600 --> 01:20:00.239
by somebody. Probably. Let's see, here's one

01:20:00.239 --> 01:20:03.609
that's kind of a thing in reverse. Vinnie Vincent

01:20:03.609 --> 01:20:07.170
Invasion. They fired Vinnie Vincent and rebranded

01:20:07.170 --> 01:20:09.890
themselves Slaughter. And had a great career.

01:20:10.390 --> 01:20:14.210
So they didn't get fired, they did the firing.

01:20:14.350 --> 01:20:17.189
And Slaughter, Mark Slaughter actually joined

01:20:17.189 --> 01:20:19.409
the band on the second album. He wasn't originally.

01:20:19.649 --> 01:20:21.890
I think it was Robert Fleischman was the first

01:20:21.890 --> 01:20:24.510
singer. Oh yeah, and I think he worked with Journey

01:20:24.510 --> 01:20:27.170
too. He did work with Journey. He worked with

01:20:27.170 --> 01:20:30.350
some other bands too. Kind of the bridesmaid,

01:20:30.350 --> 01:20:34.699
never the bride. Yeah, yep. So, yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:20:35.380 --> 01:20:38.159
So then when Mark Slaughter joined the band and

01:20:38.159 --> 01:20:40.300
he had everybody else in Vinnie Vincent and Basie,

01:20:40.439 --> 01:20:43.420
all they needed was a guitarist, and they found

01:20:43.420 --> 01:20:47.060
one. What was it, Red Beach? Red Beach, I think

01:20:47.060 --> 01:20:51.819
it was. Red Beach, yeah, Red Beach. Let's see,

01:20:51.859 --> 01:20:54.880
in 1938, Billie Holiday was fired from the Count

01:20:54.880 --> 01:20:58.880
Basie band. She had a massive career. Wow. Okay,

01:20:58.920 --> 01:21:01.520
I didn't know that. She also had a pretty heartbreaking

01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:05.619
life. She was horribly abused by the band in

01:21:05.619 --> 01:21:07.260
her life. Yeah, I didn't know that. It was too

01:21:07.260 --> 01:21:10.779
bad. And then the last one I got, Neil Sean was

01:21:10.779 --> 01:21:14.340
fired from Santana. And he went on to some San

01:21:14.340 --> 01:21:16.880
Francisco band you might have heard of. Oh yeah,

01:21:16.939 --> 01:21:20.739
Journey. Journey, yeah. Actually, he and Greg

01:21:20.739 --> 01:21:24.520
Raleigh were in Santana. and then Journey. Yeah,

01:21:24.699 --> 01:21:27.399
I think Greg Raleigh left Santana and Neil Sean

01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:29.460
was fired. Yeah, and I think they're actually

01:21:29.460 --> 01:21:31.619
on their final tour, aren't they? I think so.

01:21:32.819 --> 01:21:39.119
Or is it the... Oh, the singer, the Filipino

01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:42.699
singer, he's retired. Yeah, I think he's fired.

01:21:42.840 --> 01:21:45.420
Okay, he's retired, but Journey is not. Yeah.

01:21:45.560 --> 01:21:48.579
Okay. So that's all my music creep stuff, but

01:21:48.579 --> 01:21:52.550
I still have some... Some stuff left over from

01:21:52.550 --> 01:21:56.550
about TV shows, which kind of fits. Okay. I can

01:21:56.550 --> 01:22:03.029
do another law -breaking. Oh, nice. Okay. This

01:22:03.029 --> 01:22:04.829
is Yngwie Malmsteen. You don't hear that much

01:22:04.829 --> 01:22:07.390
about him breaking the law. No, just, you know,

01:22:07.409 --> 01:22:10.289
breaking people's laws. Yeah, yeah. You hear

01:22:10.289 --> 01:22:13.130
about him being a snob and, you know, conceited

01:22:13.130 --> 01:22:14.710
and all that, but you don't hear so much about

01:22:14.710 --> 01:22:17.710
him breaking the law. Yeah. Robert Knight Archive.

01:22:18.909 --> 01:22:21.350
is where this is from, and this is at the first

01:22:21.350 --> 01:22:23.750
of the articles, so I'm reading it to let you

01:22:23.750 --> 01:22:26.930
know. In August 1993, a SWAT team was sent to

01:22:26.930 --> 01:22:30.210
the Miami Shores, Florida home of Yvette Malmsteen,

01:22:30.310 --> 01:22:33.409
after Elaine Potter, the mother of his then 19

01:22:33.409 --> 01:22:36.630
-year -old girlfriend, Amber Landon, accused

01:22:36.630 --> 01:22:39.689
the Swedish guitar god of holding her daughter

01:22:39.689 --> 01:22:42.630
hostage while equipped with a small arsenal of

01:22:42.630 --> 01:22:45.289
firearms. Whoa, that's not good. This got by

01:22:45.289 --> 01:22:47.729
me. I never heard that. No, he... Apparently

01:22:47.729 --> 01:22:50.550
had that covered up successfully. I guess. She

01:22:50.550 --> 01:22:53.010
also claimed Malmsteen pointed a shotgun at her

01:22:53.010 --> 01:22:56.350
and threatened her life. No. After a tense four

01:22:56.350 --> 01:22:58.569
and a half hour standoff, Malmsteen surrendered

01:22:58.569 --> 01:23:01.550
and was ushered out of his house by police, wearing

01:23:01.550 --> 01:23:04.970
only sunglasses and a bathrobe open to his stomach.

01:23:06.850 --> 01:23:09.510
He was charged with aggravated assault with a

01:23:09.510 --> 01:23:13.430
deadly weapon and jailed on $7 ,500 bond. Wow,

01:23:13.489 --> 01:23:15.609
that ain't much. No, it isn't. I guess they didn't

01:23:15.609 --> 01:23:18.529
figure he's a flight risk. I guess not. Even

01:23:18.529 --> 01:23:22.210
though he, what is he, Swedish? I think he's

01:23:22.210 --> 01:23:26.670
Swedish. Swedish, yeah. But that's about as far

01:23:26.670 --> 01:23:29.270
as the thing went. Landon, who later became his

01:23:29.270 --> 01:23:32.090
wife, gave a statement to police denying she'd

01:23:32.090 --> 01:23:36.130
been held against her will or assaulted, which

01:23:36.130 --> 01:23:39.170
explains why, as the Bathrobe Mounds team was

01:23:39.170 --> 01:23:41.649
being cuffed and carted off, the Associated Press

01:23:41.649 --> 01:23:44.449
quoted him as saying, I have no idea what's up.

01:23:44.800 --> 01:23:49.760
And he really didn't. I guess so. But I love

01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:52.579
the fact that it was unbuttoned all the way down

01:23:52.579 --> 01:23:56.659
to the mid. He just had to be a rock star on

01:23:56.659 --> 01:23:59.539
the way out. He's probably waving his hair in

01:23:59.539 --> 01:24:01.960
the wind, too. Yeah. Yeah, this is me. I'm getting

01:24:01.960 --> 01:24:04.520
arrested. He's trying to sign autographs. Yeah,

01:24:04.520 --> 01:24:06.279
yeah, yeah. He's like, hey, can you let me out

01:24:06.279 --> 01:24:07.840
of the coach for a second? I've got to sign this.

01:24:09.979 --> 01:24:12.699
Hey, my fellow heavy breathers. This is Dash

01:24:12.699 --> 01:24:18.159
Riptide. with your music news. Glenn Hughes,

01:24:18.640 --> 01:24:23.539
the legendary bassist, lead singer of many, many

01:24:23.539 --> 01:24:27.260
great bands, such as Deep Purple, Black Sabbath,

01:24:27.520 --> 01:24:31.180
Black Country Communion, California Breed, and

01:24:31.180 --> 01:24:34.920
so on and so on. He had a U .S. tour planned

01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:37.840
for this April. Glenn unfortunately had to cancel

01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.520
due to what had been described as a minor medical

01:24:40.520 --> 01:24:43.640
issue. I already had seats for legendary rocker

01:24:43.640 --> 01:24:46.779
Knuckleheads, but like most times, I try to see

01:24:46.779 --> 01:24:49.920
him, and it gets canceled. Glenn, I love you,

01:24:49.979 --> 01:24:53.199
but no more. Third time getting jerked is enough.

01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:56.380
We do wish you a full and speedy recovery, and

01:24:56.380 --> 01:24:59.220
hopefully a full and speedy recovery of my fucking

01:24:59.220 --> 01:25:04.479
money. Again, sorry, not sorry. This is Gash

01:25:04.479 --> 01:25:07.970
Riptine, and that was your music news. If it's

01:25:07.970 --> 01:25:10.409
too loud, you'd probably have ear damage, just

01:25:10.409 --> 01:25:21.569
like me. Always the celebrity. Yeah, oh yeah.

01:25:21.949 --> 01:25:23.970
Anyhow, go ahead. I'm going to be doing these

01:25:23.970 --> 01:25:27.590
periodically. Next show, too. I'm digging the

01:25:27.590 --> 01:25:30.850
violin that we got going here. I am, too. A nice

01:25:30.850 --> 01:25:33.270
little addition. Yeah, we've had several people

01:25:33.270 --> 01:25:40.240
over the years come down and play violin. As

01:25:40.240 --> 01:25:42.960
I teased earlier, I have a list of some TV shows

01:25:42.960 --> 01:25:46.479
that were really big and then disappeared. Okay.

01:25:47.380 --> 01:25:50.180
Some of these I remember, some of them sort of

01:25:50.180 --> 01:25:54.600
not. First one is, do you remember a show called

01:25:54.600 --> 01:26:01.529
Dinosaurs? Exactly. From 91 to 94. It was a puppet

01:26:01.529 --> 01:26:04.470
kind of thing. It was like a family of dinosaurs.

01:26:04.470 --> 01:26:07.789
I think the tagline was not the llama or something

01:26:07.789 --> 01:26:11.449
like that. Something stupid. The baby used to

01:26:11.449 --> 01:26:14.729
say that and it didn't really make sense. Like

01:26:14.729 --> 01:26:17.670
it's leading to that's not his mom. I don't know.

01:26:17.930 --> 01:26:22.050
It was stupid. Basically it was just like every

01:26:22.050 --> 01:26:25.039
other show about... A young family with a little

01:26:25.039 --> 01:26:27.439
kid, except in this case they were dinosaurs.

01:26:27.859 --> 01:26:31.760
The young dinosaur was Beaver instead of Jerry

01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:37.300
Mathers. Here's another one that was huge at

01:26:37.300 --> 01:26:39.300
the time and now it's just completely forgotten.

01:26:39.779 --> 01:26:44.699
Murphy Brown. Oh, wow. That was enormous at the

01:26:44.699 --> 01:26:48.159
time. I remember Vice President Dan Quayle making

01:26:48.159 --> 01:26:50.199
a comment on the Murphy Brown storyline. They

01:26:50.199 --> 01:26:53.489
addressed him. on the show. Yeah, as if the Murphy

01:26:53.489 --> 01:26:56.250
Brown character was actually real in real life.

01:26:56.449 --> 01:26:58.710
Yeah. He was making a comment about the writing

01:26:58.710 --> 01:27:01.770
of the show, and then they had the character

01:27:01.770 --> 01:27:05.590
Murphy Brown respond as if, how dare you insult

01:27:05.590 --> 01:27:07.970
me, I'm a single mom trying to raise this baby.

01:27:07.970 --> 01:27:09.689
Yes, that's what it was. That's what it was.

01:27:09.810 --> 01:27:11.829
It was utter bullshit, but of course it made

01:27:11.829 --> 01:27:14.430
the bleeding hearts go, uh -huh. What Dan Quill

01:27:14.430 --> 01:27:18.390
was saying was it was horrifying being a single

01:27:18.390 --> 01:27:20.829
mom, I believe is what he was saying. He actually

01:27:20.829 --> 01:27:23.109
said it's kind of sad that they're holding up

01:27:23.109 --> 01:27:25.810
being a single parent as the preferred way to

01:27:25.810 --> 01:27:30.270
be. Yes. Yeah. And then your Murphy man says,

01:27:30.470 --> 01:27:33.909
why are you attacking my baby? But he did not

01:27:33.909 --> 01:27:37.529
know how to spell potato or tomato. No, he didn't.

01:27:37.550 --> 01:27:39.770
It wasn't potato. I think it was potato. Yeah,

01:27:39.770 --> 01:27:42.189
yeah. He tried to put an E on it, I think, or

01:27:42.189 --> 01:27:44.630
something. Yeah. The joke was that the Secret

01:27:44.630 --> 01:27:47.409
Service had standing orders if somebody assassinated

01:27:47.409 --> 01:27:49.350
George Bush, they were supposed to shoot Quayle.

01:27:51.810 --> 01:27:54.010
It's like, not this guy. We're going to speaker

01:27:54.010 --> 01:27:55.590
the house before this guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:27:55.630 --> 01:27:59.770
This isn't going to work. And I think that old

01:27:59.770 --> 01:28:03.909
man Bush had him specifically as insurance. Yeah.

01:28:05.970 --> 01:28:08.930
Here's another one that was huge and is all gone.

01:28:09.069 --> 01:28:16.239
Ally McBeal. From 97 to 2002. And it's just nothing.

01:28:16.340 --> 01:28:18.800
There aren't even any reruns on anywhere. Oh,

01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:21.760
yeah, yeah. Apparently it was good for the time,

01:28:21.779 --> 01:28:25.279
and now it's just utterly out of touch. Clarissa

01:28:25.279 --> 01:28:27.840
Flockhart was not a very appealing character

01:28:27.840 --> 01:28:31.359
to me. She was squeaky, mousy type of a... Yeah.

01:28:31.779 --> 01:28:34.220
I saw her on commercials, and then she all of

01:28:34.220 --> 01:28:36.359
a sudden got a TV show because of her commercials,

01:28:36.520 --> 01:28:38.800
and I thought, well, this is stupid. Yeah, and

01:28:38.800 --> 01:28:42.760
it never was that good. Here's one that's kind

01:28:42.760 --> 01:28:45.460
of surprising, but it's true. Game of Thrones.

01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:51.399
From 2011 to 2019, it was really just huge. People

01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:54.479
were naming their kids after characters and dressing

01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:57.239
up and holding parties, and now it's just nobody

01:28:57.239 --> 01:29:00.600
talks about it. Okay, yeah, that's a good one.

01:29:00.619 --> 01:29:03.619
Wow. No, and that was so huge. You could not

01:29:03.619 --> 01:29:07.060
walk anywhere without it. Chris, do you watch

01:29:07.060 --> 01:29:09.399
Game of Thrones? Do you watch it? Yeah, and I

01:29:09.399 --> 01:29:11.720
can't have it until everybody knows. And don't

01:29:11.720 --> 01:29:13.899
ask again. I'm not going to be watching it next

01:29:13.899 --> 01:29:17.029
either. Because it kind of replaced Breaking

01:29:17.029 --> 01:29:19.449
Bad, remember? Yeah, I did. There was kind of

01:29:19.449 --> 01:29:21.810
like a concession where like after The Sopranos

01:29:21.810 --> 01:29:23.710
and there was, you know, there was like these

01:29:23.710 --> 01:29:28.829
cornerstone TV shows that everybody knew something

01:29:28.829 --> 01:29:31.789
about. Yeah. And that was them. Yeah. And it

01:29:31.789 --> 01:29:34.170
kind of replaced Breaking Bad and that over.

01:29:34.350 --> 01:29:36.029
Yeah, it did. Because I think it was like The

01:29:36.029 --> 01:29:38.930
Sopranos and The Shield was one of them. And

01:29:38.930 --> 01:29:41.449
then it just kept going on down there. Yeah,

01:29:41.449 --> 01:29:44.710
and then when it came into existence, it kind

01:29:44.710 --> 01:29:46.869
of took over everything. There was really not

01:29:46.869 --> 01:29:50.750
another show that commanded that much God or

01:29:50.750 --> 01:29:52.989
people talking about it. So yeah, it disappeared

01:29:52.989 --> 01:29:56.850
into nothing. Yeah. Now, according to Jesse,

01:29:57.090 --> 01:30:00.189
towards the end of the run, the show creators

01:30:00.189 --> 01:30:02.930
were starting to get distracted by some Star

01:30:02.930 --> 01:30:06.010
Wars movie that they were going to be doing.

01:30:06.470 --> 01:30:08.789
So they were not paying attention to Game of

01:30:08.789 --> 01:30:12.350
Thrones. And the show started suffering. And

01:30:12.350 --> 01:30:15.029
then it turned out their Star Wars project failed

01:30:15.029 --> 01:30:19.189
anyway. It was decided not to make it, so they

01:30:19.189 --> 01:30:22.609
kind of screwed themselves over. Oh, I love that.

01:30:22.789 --> 01:30:27.609
Yeah. Whoops. Here's another one. This one is

01:30:27.609 --> 01:30:30.069
just because they did things wrong. The Drew

01:30:30.069 --> 01:30:34.930
Carey Show. From 95 to 2004. Wow, you don't see

01:30:34.930 --> 01:30:39.220
that anywhere. The problem was it qualified for

01:30:39.220 --> 01:30:42.420
syndication while it was still making new episodes.

01:30:42.880 --> 01:30:45.220
To qualify for syndication, you have to have

01:30:45.220 --> 01:30:48.380
100 episodes. That way a TV station can pick

01:30:48.380 --> 01:30:51.020
and choose and have at least three or four seasons

01:30:51.020 --> 01:30:53.739
worth that they can show on a rotating basis

01:30:53.739 --> 01:30:56.619
as reruns. But they started doing that while

01:30:56.619 --> 01:31:00.119
the show was still making new episodes. So suddenly,

01:31:00.300 --> 01:31:04.430
Drew Carey reruns were everywhere. And you couldn't

01:31:04.430 --> 01:31:06.949
turn the TV on without having Drew Carey in your

01:31:06.949 --> 01:31:09.869
face. So the new episodes, everyone just ignored.

01:31:10.489 --> 01:31:13.270
The ratings on them tanked, and that's what canceled

01:31:13.270 --> 01:31:16.109
the series. It's like, why should I wait around

01:31:16.109 --> 01:31:17.970
for a new episode? Look at all these ones I can

01:31:17.970 --> 01:31:19.949
watch any time I want. And that show was funny

01:31:19.949 --> 01:31:22.050
as hell. Yeah. I thought that was a good show.

01:31:22.050 --> 01:31:26.489
It was really highly rated. Who was his counterpart

01:31:26.489 --> 01:31:29.859
nemesis, the chick, the big guy? I can't remember.

01:31:30.079 --> 01:31:32.239
I'm picturing her in my head, but I can't remember.

01:31:32.579 --> 01:31:35.060
You're talking about what a strong character.

01:31:35.300 --> 01:31:39.300
Yeah. I remember one episode that I cracked up

01:31:39.300 --> 01:31:41.619
so loud where they were having phone sex, but

01:31:41.619 --> 01:31:43.779
they didn't notice each other. Then they found

01:31:43.779 --> 01:31:48.020
out it was each other. It shows Drew in the shower

01:31:48.020 --> 01:31:54.810
with his clothes on, crying in the corner. You

01:31:54.810 --> 01:31:56.810
see how good that show was? Yeah. I remember

01:31:56.810 --> 01:31:58.970
little parts of it that were fucking fantastic.

01:31:59.350 --> 01:32:03.949
So, anyway. Another one was Lost. Oh, wow. Yeah,

01:32:03.989 --> 01:32:07.550
yeah, yeah. 2004 to 2010. It's like everybody

01:32:07.550 --> 01:32:11.050
went to work and talked about it because it was

01:32:11.050 --> 01:32:13.770
the big deal. Now they don't even show reruns

01:32:13.770 --> 01:32:16.689
anywhere. What's the point? Everyone knows. It's

01:32:16.689 --> 01:32:18.649
so easy to find out what happened. There's no

01:32:18.649 --> 01:32:23.569
suspense anymore. 24 with Kiefer Sutherland.

01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:25.840
That was on the show for like 10 years, from

01:32:25.840 --> 01:32:36.000
2001 to 2010. St. Elsewhere, from 82 to 88. A

01:32:36.000 --> 01:32:38.319
lot of people got their start on that show, and

01:32:38.319 --> 01:32:40.600
it was like the big feel -good show. A lot of

01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:42.939
people did cut their teeth on that show, that's

01:32:42.939 --> 01:32:50.260
right. St. Elsewhere, yeah, 30 -something, from

01:32:50.260 --> 01:32:54.079
87 through 91. That was big for a while, but

01:32:54.079 --> 01:32:58.020
it lost out to Friends. When Friends came along,

01:32:58.279 --> 01:33:01.739
nobody wanted to watch 30 -something reruns anymore.

01:33:02.020 --> 01:33:05.380
Because they were all tragic and dramatic, and

01:33:05.380 --> 01:33:08.260
there was all sorts of hurt feelings and people

01:33:08.260 --> 01:33:11.619
being upset. Friends was fun. So they watched

01:33:11.619 --> 01:33:16.060
Friends instead. And here's the whole genre.

01:33:16.859 --> 01:33:20.119
Saturday morning cartoons. They're just gone.

01:33:20.439 --> 01:33:22.539
Every Saturday morning you get up and there's

01:33:22.539 --> 01:33:24.979
none of my cartoons. Oh, I used to look so forward

01:33:24.979 --> 01:33:28.079
to that. I know you did everything. Yeah. But

01:33:28.079 --> 01:33:29.920
now it's just not a thing. There's usually Warner

01:33:29.920 --> 01:33:34.880
Brothers. Yeah. Yeah. Hanna -Barbera too. Yeah.

01:33:35.340 --> 01:33:37.859
But now you've got whole channels devoted to

01:33:37.859 --> 01:33:39.819
nothing but cartoons and it's on all the time.

01:33:39.939 --> 01:33:41.899
You can watch it any time you want. Saturday

01:33:41.899 --> 01:33:45.020
morning isn't special anymore. I used to miss

01:33:45.020 --> 01:33:50.449
that. So true. We also got some TV shows that

01:33:50.449 --> 01:33:52.310
were cancelled before the very first episode

01:33:52.310 --> 01:33:58.510
aired. This is some pretty bad ones. This one

01:33:58.510 --> 01:34:02.029
cracks me up so much. The show was called The

01:34:02.029 --> 01:34:05.750
Activist. And it was supposed to premiere in

01:34:05.750 --> 01:34:09.729
October of 2021. Created by Global Citizen and

01:34:09.729 --> 01:34:13.609
Live Nation. This reality competition show hosted

01:34:13.609 --> 01:34:17.090
by Usher. Priyanka Chopra and Julianne Hough

01:34:17.090 --> 01:34:21.989
was to focus on six activists working to bring

01:34:21.989 --> 01:34:24.770
meaningful change to one of three urgent causes.

01:34:24.989 --> 01:34:29.390
Oh my god. I do not think the more boring. Yep.

01:34:29.529 --> 01:34:31.710
Either health, education, or the environment.

01:34:31.869 --> 01:34:35.890
With the finalists attending the 2021 G20 Summit

01:34:35.890 --> 01:34:38.949
to raise funds for their cause. And the one raising

01:34:38.949 --> 01:34:42.340
the most funds being crowned the activist. So

01:34:42.340 --> 01:34:45.239
they're telling you five years ago that these

01:34:45.239 --> 01:34:47.880
were all paid protesters. Yep. They were going

01:34:47.880 --> 01:34:50.840
to show you exactly how it works. Anybody who

01:34:50.840 --> 01:34:52.720
does their research would know this. The people

01:34:52.720 --> 01:34:54.960
who don't want to know, don't know. That's it.

01:34:55.840 --> 01:34:58.100
Now, the way the contestants' success would have

01:34:58.100 --> 01:35:01.739
been judged was by social media engagement and

01:35:01.739 --> 01:35:04.680
the assistance by the host, etc. But when they

01:35:04.680 --> 01:35:06.939
started even talking about it and promoting it,

01:35:07.020 --> 01:35:10.479
intense backlash. And people were saying, oh,

01:35:10.560 --> 01:35:13.439
hell no. You're going to fake being sincere about

01:35:13.439 --> 01:35:15.819
something in order to win a competition? Fuck

01:35:15.819 --> 01:35:20.520
you. And they never ate it. Here's another really

01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:25.119
good one. All My Baby's Mamas. It was set to

01:35:25.119 --> 01:35:28.720
release in early 2013. An American reality show

01:35:28.720 --> 01:35:31.739
set to air on Oxygen starring rapper Shawty Lo.

01:35:32.560 --> 01:35:36.500
who actually died in 2016, showcasing his life

01:35:36.500 --> 01:35:39.260
as the father of 11 children by 10 different

01:35:39.260 --> 01:35:42.279
women. Wow. The series was canceled after an

01:35:42.279 --> 01:35:47.220
online petition and public outcry. I believe

01:35:47.220 --> 01:35:52.319
it. Oh, here's another one that was just utterly

01:35:52.319 --> 01:35:57.000
stupid idea. Confederate. In 2020, Confederate

01:35:57.000 --> 01:35:59.439
was a planned but never made American alternate

01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:02.739
history drama television series developed for

01:36:02.739 --> 01:36:07.800
the network HBO. And it was created by the same

01:36:07.800 --> 01:36:11.539
people who developed Game of Thrones. It was

01:36:11.539 --> 01:36:13.899
supposed to be set in a timeline where the American

01:36:13.899 --> 01:36:18.300
Civil War ended in a stalemate. And the Confederacy

01:36:18.300 --> 01:36:21.560
was still a thing. The announcement was followed

01:36:21.560 --> 01:36:24.640
by anger and criticism on social media with some

01:36:24.640 --> 01:36:28.760
people describing it as slavery fan fiction.

01:36:30.420 --> 01:36:35.119
You know, I agree 100%. There was no way they

01:36:35.119 --> 01:36:38.279
could do that show without glorifying the Confederacy

01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:42.060
and racism and the Klan and slavery. There's

01:36:42.060 --> 01:36:43.560
no way they could have done it. Who came up with

01:36:43.560 --> 01:36:45.979
that stupid idea? The same people who came up

01:36:45.979 --> 01:36:49.119
with Game of Thrones. Which is insane. Isn't

01:36:49.119 --> 01:36:52.199
that nuts? How could they be so clueless? I don't

01:36:52.199 --> 01:36:56.140
know. Because HBO traditionally has been groundbreaking

01:36:56.140 --> 01:37:00.340
on their shows. They cross all kinds of boundaries

01:37:00.340 --> 01:37:05.020
and thoughts. Wow, when they go to that. And

01:37:05.020 --> 01:37:07.640
here's one right along beside it. This is a show

01:37:07.640 --> 01:37:12.430
called Escaping the KKK. originally titled Generation

01:37:12.430 --> 01:37:16.770
KKK. It was supposed to release in January of

01:37:16.770 --> 01:37:20.369
2017. It was an A &E docuseries profiling Ku

01:37:20.369 --> 01:37:23.270
Klux Klan and members seeking to break away from

01:37:23.270 --> 01:37:26.949
it. A &E canceled the series on December 24,

01:37:27.350 --> 01:37:30.310
2016, just three weeks before its scheduled premiere,

01:37:30.510 --> 01:37:33.449
amid revelations that the show's producers made

01:37:33.449 --> 01:37:35.930
monetary payments to some of the participants

01:37:35.930 --> 01:37:39.380
for access. So they're buying their way into

01:37:39.380 --> 01:37:42.600
the Klan, giving money to the Klan in order to

01:37:42.600 --> 01:37:45.760
make the show about the Klan. Oh my gosh. How

01:37:45.760 --> 01:37:48.539
fucking tone deaf were they? Is that HBO 2? That

01:37:48.539 --> 01:37:53.479
was A &E. A &E, oh. Isn't that nuts? They were

01:37:53.479 --> 01:37:55.979
so determined to get the show that they were

01:37:55.979 --> 01:37:58.779
willing to give money and help support the Klan

01:37:58.779 --> 01:38:03.779
in order to get the show done. Wow. And I'm so

01:38:03.779 --> 01:38:08.079
glad they got called on it. So am I. Man. So

01:38:08.079 --> 01:38:12.939
am I. Here's another good one. Good grief. August

01:38:12.939 --> 01:38:16.140
of 2014, Lifetime had announced plans to debut

01:38:16.140 --> 01:38:20.220
the reality television series which would follow

01:38:20.220 --> 01:38:23.420
the owners of the Johnson Family Mortuary Funeral

01:38:23.420 --> 01:38:27.399
Home in Fort Worth, Texas. A reality show about

01:38:27.399 --> 01:38:31.859
funerals. Oh my God, man. How many people are

01:38:31.859 --> 01:38:34.659
going to let you film while they're grieving?

01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:39.420
No kidding. Okay, The Lifetime canceled the series

01:38:39.420 --> 01:38:43.319
altogether on July 24, 2014, like three weeks

01:38:43.319 --> 01:38:46.439
before it was set to air, after scheduling and

01:38:46.439 --> 01:38:49.420
filming issues. The program's scrapping ultimately

01:38:49.420 --> 01:38:52.920
came from the July 15 discovery of eight unattended

01:38:52.920 --> 01:38:55.920
and or decomposing bodies found at the funeral

01:38:55.920 --> 01:38:59.239
home by the camera crew. Oh my gosh. Which led

01:38:59.239 --> 01:39:02.939
to the arrests of owner DeAndre Johnson and his

01:39:02.939 --> 01:39:06.229
wife, Rachel Hardy Johnson. The funeral home's

01:39:06.229 --> 01:39:08.630
landlord, who was executing an eviction process,

01:39:08.850 --> 01:39:10.710
discovered the bodies and alerted authorities.

01:39:11.189 --> 01:39:12.670
I thought it was the camera crew. It was the

01:39:12.670 --> 01:39:14.930
landlord, who was there to evict them. And he

01:39:14.930 --> 01:39:16.789
stumbled across the bodies and called the police.

01:39:17.430 --> 01:39:20.090
Wow. And both Dondre and Rachel eventually were

01:39:20.090 --> 01:39:23.949
sentenced to prison terms. But that's how little

01:39:23.949 --> 01:39:25.989
they background check these people before they

01:39:25.989 --> 01:39:28.710
give them a reality show. Because they just don't

01:39:28.710 --> 01:39:30.430
give a shit, do they? No, they don't. They just

01:39:30.430 --> 01:39:34.720
want to get that show out there. Wow. Okay, got

01:39:34.720 --> 01:39:39.159
three more. Jingles in 2008, a CBS series produced

01:39:39.159 --> 01:39:41.720
by Mark Burnett in which teams compete to create

01:39:41.720 --> 01:39:44.500
new advertising jingles for brand name products.

01:39:44.960 --> 01:39:47.520
Wow. They really think we want to watch them

01:39:47.520 --> 01:39:49.939
coming up with advertising? My God, no, that

01:39:49.939 --> 01:39:52.680
sounds almost as boring as the other one. Yeah.

01:39:52.819 --> 01:39:56.800
Oh, okay. Here's the next one, NASCAR -wise.

01:39:57.579 --> 01:40:02.380
Oh, no. It was going to be just like the real

01:40:02.380 --> 01:40:07.079
lives of whatever, or love and hip -hop and whatever.

01:40:07.279 --> 01:40:10.260
Yeah, all that stupid shit. It was supposed to

01:40:10.260 --> 01:40:13.140
be shown as a special after the 2009 Miss America

01:40:13.140 --> 01:40:15.119
pageant, but the network changed its mind and

01:40:15.119 --> 01:40:17.560
decided to wait until after the 2009 Daytona

01:40:17.560 --> 01:40:20.810
500. The series never made it to air, despite

01:40:20.810 --> 01:40:23.810
being heavily promoted due to a conflict between

01:40:23.810 --> 01:40:27.010
the parties involved. It was reported that TLC,

01:40:27.310 --> 01:40:30.829
who was behind the project, wanted to create

01:40:30.829 --> 01:40:34.210
in -show conflicts that were along the lines

01:40:34.210 --> 01:40:37.210
of traditional reality programs, namely fights

01:40:37.210 --> 01:40:40.630
among cast members. They're straight up telling

01:40:40.630 --> 01:40:43.770
you, we create this shit out of nothing. We fake

01:40:43.770 --> 01:40:45.930
up these fights and conflicts to make it interesting,

01:40:46.050 --> 01:40:48.609
and we're going to do the same thing here. And

01:40:48.609 --> 01:40:51.529
NASCAR said, no, we're not going to have our

01:40:51.529 --> 01:40:56.949
drivers and their wives portrayed as bad people

01:40:56.949 --> 01:41:00.489
in any kind of negative light. So, no, we'll

01:41:00.489 --> 01:41:03.470
do it without that. Props to NASCAR. And TLC

01:41:03.470 --> 01:41:05.489
said, okay, well, then fine, we're just not going

01:41:05.489 --> 01:41:08.289
to do it at all. Because TLC wanted the drama.

01:41:08.550 --> 01:41:11.050
They wanted the fighting. They wanted that. Yeah.

01:41:11.810 --> 01:41:16.510
Well, I'm pretty happy with NASCAR saying that.

01:41:16.529 --> 01:41:19.489
Yeah, totally. And here's the last one. The show

01:41:19.489 --> 01:41:22.250
was supposed to be called Seriously Dude, I'm

01:41:22.250 --> 01:41:25.329
Gay. And it was supposed to come out in 2004.

01:41:25.590 --> 01:41:28.329
It was a two -hour reality television special

01:41:28.329 --> 01:41:31.130
planned for broadcast by Fox. Of course, Fox.

01:41:32.550 --> 01:41:36.869
It was abruptly shelved only 11 days before its

01:41:36.869 --> 01:41:39.270
intended broadcast. The special depicted two

01:41:39.270 --> 01:41:43.710
straight men in competition for a $50 ,000 reward

01:41:43.710 --> 01:41:47.529
over who could pass themselves off. as the more

01:41:47.529 --> 01:41:51.890
convincing gay man. Wow. So it was about lying

01:41:51.890 --> 01:41:56.390
to everybody about who you were for money on

01:41:56.390 --> 01:42:00.649
TV. God. In addition to competing in daily challenges,

01:42:00.710 --> 01:42:03.229
the two contestants were required to move into

01:42:03.229 --> 01:42:07.229
separate lots with gay roommates, come out to

01:42:07.229 --> 01:42:09.869
their best friends and family, and socialize

01:42:09.869 --> 01:42:14.810
at gay nightclubs. All for the sake of an entertainment

01:42:14.810 --> 01:42:18.930
show. totally faking everything about the gay

01:42:18.930 --> 01:42:22.869
lifestyle, making fun of the gay lifestyle, exploiting

01:42:22.869 --> 01:42:25.149
it for their own benefit, and in the end saying,

01:42:25.250 --> 01:42:27.569
ha ha, we're not gay after all, joke's on you.

01:42:28.149 --> 01:42:31.170
How stupid were these people? That is ridiculous.

01:42:33.369 --> 01:42:35.829
And you know, it makes me wonder, what are some

01:42:35.829 --> 01:42:37.449
of the ones that they wanted to come up with

01:42:37.449 --> 01:42:40.590
that they're afraid to tell us about? Yes, I

01:42:40.590 --> 01:42:45.800
agree. It really illustrates that TV will put

01:42:45.800 --> 01:42:50.060
out any kind of absolute horrible crap if they

01:42:50.060 --> 01:42:53.979
think people will watch it. They have no taste,

01:42:54.020 --> 01:42:58.420
no class. I remember back in the 90s, there was

01:42:58.420 --> 01:43:01.840
a short -lived reality show all about contestants

01:43:01.840 --> 01:43:06.739
that were given a disease. And then as the disease

01:43:06.739 --> 01:43:08.460
progressed, they were supposed to figure out

01:43:08.460 --> 01:43:13.239
what disease they had. How horrible is that?

01:43:13.840 --> 01:43:17.680
It actually started over in the UK. And they

01:43:17.680 --> 01:43:20.579
tried to bring it here. And it's like, oh, no,

01:43:20.800 --> 01:43:22.819
no, no. They thought that was, yeah, they thought

01:43:22.819 --> 01:43:27.060
it was great. In the US, most advertisers wanted

01:43:27.060 --> 01:43:30.000
nothing to do with it. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God.

01:43:30.020 --> 01:43:31.939
Would you not go the furthest away from that

01:43:31.939 --> 01:43:33.899
as you could if you heard about it? I'd be like,

01:43:33.899 --> 01:43:37.050
no, there's no way. Now, back in the early 70s,

01:43:37.050 --> 01:43:39.189
there was a comedy group called Fire Sign Theater,

01:43:39.430 --> 01:43:42.430
and they actually did a skit called Name That

01:43:42.430 --> 01:43:45.289
Disease, where they gave people diseases, and

01:43:45.289 --> 01:43:47.229
they had to guess what it was before they died

01:43:47.229 --> 01:43:50.329
from it. And then somebody actually created the

01:43:50.329 --> 01:43:55.529
show. That sounds about right, actually. It's

01:43:55.529 --> 01:43:58.850
more and more evidence that a lot of people will

01:43:58.850 --> 01:44:01.869
do absolutely anything for money and attention.

01:44:02.350 --> 01:44:05.449
Yeah. No, you're right. Absolutely. So anyway.

01:44:05.670 --> 01:44:08.210
Wow. I've got one last story here, and then I

01:44:08.210 --> 01:44:10.090
guess we can probably wrap it up. How long have

01:44:10.090 --> 01:44:12.710
we got? We've got an hour and 40 minutes. Okay,

01:44:12.729 --> 01:44:16.289
good. Wendy O. Williams. Oh, yeah. Remember her?

01:44:16.350 --> 01:44:19.989
Yeah. 1981, plasmatic provocateur Wendy O. Williams

01:44:19.989 --> 01:44:22.569
was arrested after a gig at Milwaukee's Palms

01:44:22.569 --> 01:44:26.569
Nightclub for simulating oral sex and masturbation.

01:44:26.670 --> 01:44:35.600
Oh. With a sledgehammer. Oh. Wow. Williams is

01:44:35.600 --> 01:44:38.399
charged with obscene conduct. I want to see that.

01:44:38.439 --> 01:44:40.880
How do you simulate that with a sledgehammer?

01:44:41.770 --> 01:44:43.909
I don't know. I don't have a simul. I know how

01:44:43.909 --> 01:44:46.189
she could actually do it. That requires some

01:44:46.189 --> 01:44:48.989
talent. Yeah. And be able to walk away from it.

01:44:49.130 --> 01:44:52.850
Yeah. So Williams was charged with obscene conduct,

01:44:52.949 --> 01:44:55.489
but that was only the beginning of her problems.

01:44:55.729 --> 01:44:58.149
A scuffle broke out during the post -show arrest,

01:44:58.390 --> 01:45:00.989
resulting in Williams and her manager, Rod Swenson,

01:45:01.189 --> 01:45:03.869
receiving a beating at the hands of policemen.

01:45:06.010 --> 01:45:08.770
Williams earned an additional count of battery,

01:45:08.930 --> 01:45:11.640
but photos taken of the assault led to all charges

01:45:11.640 --> 01:45:14.699
against her ultimately being dropped, which allowed

01:45:14.699 --> 01:45:19.140
the singer to carry on practicing Williams, her

01:45:19.140 --> 01:45:22.020
particular brand of performance art, just days

01:45:22.020 --> 01:45:24.300
after Williams was nabbed in Cleveland again

01:45:24.300 --> 01:45:28.199
for simulating sex acts on stage. Only this time

01:45:28.199 --> 01:45:30.180
we're wearing a bra made of nothing but shaving

01:45:30.180 --> 01:45:32.500
cream. Yeah, she used to do that. Yeah, she used

01:45:32.500 --> 01:45:34.500
to do that. And she also used to come out wearing

01:45:34.500 --> 01:45:37.600
nothing above the waist except strips of black

01:45:37.600 --> 01:45:39.760
electrical tape. Black electrical tape, yeah,

01:45:39.840 --> 01:45:41.840
I remember that. That would be down there and

01:45:41.840 --> 01:45:45.510
up here. Yep. Yes. I remember the... Didn't she

01:45:45.510 --> 01:45:48.390
kill herself? Yeah. Yeah, she was in her 40s,

01:45:48.390 --> 01:45:50.130
and she had quit rock and roll, and she was,

01:45:50.170 --> 01:45:52.810
like, living on a ranch with animals, and she

01:45:52.810 --> 01:45:54.590
just decided she was done with life. She was

01:45:54.590 --> 01:45:55.909
done with life. Yeah, that's what I thought.

01:45:55.949 --> 01:45:57.930
It was, like, well after the fact. Yeah. I remember

01:45:57.930 --> 01:46:02.829
that her manager discovered her when he walked

01:46:02.829 --> 01:46:06.109
into a bar, and she was working for the bar,

01:46:06.229 --> 01:46:09.750
and... She was entertaining the guests by shooting

01:46:09.750 --> 01:46:12.850
ping pong balls out of her vagina. I didn't know

01:46:12.850 --> 01:46:15.090
if that was true or not. That was true? Yeah,

01:46:15.229 --> 01:46:17.529
she was trying to hit targets with these ping

01:46:17.529 --> 01:46:23.810
pong balls. Well, anyhow, yeah, there's the plasmatics.

01:46:23.829 --> 01:46:25.850
And then that's why she eventually went solo.

01:46:26.050 --> 01:46:28.390
Yeah. Because she didn't need anybody else. Yeah.

01:46:28.800 --> 01:46:31.439
Yeah. Yeah, I remember, I think they came to

01:46:31.439 --> 01:46:33.460
Kansas City at one point. I didn't go see them,

01:46:33.520 --> 01:46:35.899
but I remember them being covered on the news.

01:46:36.180 --> 01:46:37.720
I would love to see them. They had just a brief

01:46:37.720 --> 01:46:39.619
little clip of her out there stumbling around

01:46:39.619 --> 01:46:42.420
stage with her black electrical tape over her

01:46:42.420 --> 01:46:47.500
nippers. And her JJ. Yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I

01:46:47.500 --> 01:46:49.279
remember the shaving cream when she'd come out

01:46:49.279 --> 01:46:51.020
and she'd do everything possible to get the shaving

01:46:51.020 --> 01:46:53.800
cream to melt and drop off. Oh, yeah. So by the

01:46:53.800 --> 01:46:55.920
end of the song, she was bare breasted. Pretty

01:46:55.920 --> 01:47:02.189
much. She was quite a character. Oh, yeah. Yep.

01:47:02.590 --> 01:47:05.829
And, I mean, yeah, she was a character, yes,

01:47:05.890 --> 01:47:10.670
but also she was warped enough to where some

01:47:10.670 --> 01:47:12.670
of that was not character. You know what I mean?

01:47:12.729 --> 01:47:16.090
Yeah. Some of that was her. Yeah, she was self

01:47:16.090 --> 01:47:18.250
-destructive kind of along the lines of Iggy

01:47:18.250 --> 01:47:21.590
Pop. Yeah. Who did a lot to hurt himself. I don't

01:47:21.590 --> 01:47:24.460
think Iggy Pop ever wanted to die. But he was

01:47:24.460 --> 01:47:26.800
willing to do just about anything to be entertaining.

01:47:27.100 --> 01:47:29.039
You know, he'd smash beer bottles on his chest.

01:47:29.180 --> 01:47:31.199
He'd crawl around in broken glass. He'd throw

01:47:31.199 --> 01:47:33.380
himself out in the audience to get beat up. Oh,

01:47:33.380 --> 01:47:36.220
yeah. He just didn't care. He didn't care. And

01:47:36.220 --> 01:47:39.619
he looks every bit of that, too. The guy looks

01:47:39.619 --> 01:47:42.220
used up. Oh, he's always looked like a hunter

01:47:42.220 --> 01:47:46.579
native. Always looked old and withery. But his

01:47:46.579 --> 01:47:49.060
credit, he's kind of like Keith Richards. That's

01:47:49.060 --> 01:47:50.539
true. He's looked old forever, but he's never

01:47:50.539 --> 01:47:53.340
looked any older. He's looked the same. Yeah.

01:47:53.420 --> 01:47:59.500
Oh. All right. Well, you got anything else? I

01:47:59.500 --> 01:48:01.199
think we're about wrapped up here. All right,

01:48:01.199 --> 01:48:03.159
everybody. Thank you for listening. The numbers

01:48:03.159 --> 01:48:05.399
are really showing how you guys are promoting

01:48:05.399 --> 01:48:08.100
this. We really appreciate it. And thank you

01:48:08.100 --> 01:48:10.039
so much for doing so. And go fuck yourself.
