1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: You're saying the jobs, jobs Report, job information, things are

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: not going well with jobs.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 2: Yikes is the word. You're looking for. Job cuts for

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: October totaled one hundred fifty three thousand and seventy four,

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 2: a one hundred and eighty three percent surge from September

6
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: and also one hundred and seventy five percent higher than

7
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: the same month a year ago.

8
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, I mean, I think this reinforces what we've

9
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: been saying for a long time on this program, dating

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: way back before the Trump presidency, even that structurally the

11
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: economy is broken, and you know, you can mask it

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: just like they masked you know for years that oh,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: hey we shut society down and no one felt any pain, right,

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 1: and then obviously a year or two into it, everybody,

15
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: oh why is everything so expensive? It turns out if

16
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: you just print trillions of dollars and throw it at people,

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: things are going to get more expensive. The same thing here.

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: You have an economy that has been boosted in large

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: part for years now based on totally ridiculous, out of

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: control government spending, and then when you couple that with

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: the fact that the money Spicott got turned off, then

22
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 1: you put that on top of that that AI is

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: now front and center in this economy and it's a

24
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: recipe for abject disaster. Yeah, which is what appears to

25
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: be going on.

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 2: So the technology sector laid off more than thirty three

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 2: thousand people. That was up six times since September. October

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: was not a good month for jobs layoffs linked to

29
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: AI integration like you mentioned, and also staffing recalculation. It

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: was the highest level of job cuts since October of

31
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: two thousand and three and has been the worst year

32
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: for layoffs since two thousand and nine.

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: Isn't it fascinating though? Like this happens, So these are

34
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: real people losing their jobs, outside of people talking about

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: it on the radio or whatever. Some lawmaker crying for

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: these people like they're crying for the federal employees. Is

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: anybody And I'm not saying those federal employees I want

38
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: them to lose their jobs or be in a bad position.

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: But you don't hear a word about it. When it's

40
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: a private sector, you don't hear anything. We've talked about

41
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: this with the Obamacare stuff. No one gives a damn

42
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: about our premiums. No one's fighting for us and going Man,

43
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: it's twice as expensive for those guys as it was,

44
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, four or five years ago. We got to

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: do something about that. Oh, but these Obamacare people, they'll

46
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: shut the government down. Same thing here. When it's a

47
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: private sector job, nobody cares at all. But when these lawmakers.

48
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: But when it's a government person, well, this is a tragedy.

49
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. So hiring freezes and the belt tightening among companies,

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: it's not only because of AI, but it's also because

51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: of rising costs. Not only are we paying more for stuff,

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: but so are companies, which means they can hire less people.

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: Well, and it's this you're also on top of this,

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: these these tariffs which at a time or inflation is

55
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: out of control. This is like the worst thing you

56
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: can could have done. And I mean, I think Trump's

57
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: going to lose at the Supreme Court now they're they're struggling.

58
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: Those oral arguments in this tariff case were fascinating because

59
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: the judges basically said or Amy Cony Barrett said it

60
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: out loud. And so what it was happening here is

61
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: these Democrat attorney generals and the and this business business

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: groups are suing over these tariffs. And you know from

63
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the sound of it, I think they're going to win.

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: But one of the things the judges are appeared to

65
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: be struggling with is if they win, these people are

66
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: going to be entitled to all this money back, and

67
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: they're saying, how do you get the money back? Who

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 1: pays it back? How do we do this? We don't

69
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: under you know, we're really struggling with how you do this?

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: And the people that are suing even admitted they said, yeah,

71
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: it's going to be a disaster, total nightmare. Not our problem. Well,

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: got enforce the law.

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 2: Donald Trump just yesterday he was saying that if the

74
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Supreme Court takes down his tariffs, it's going to be

75
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: the American people who are going to have to pay

76
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: back trillions.

77
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: It could be several weeks. Are you going to lay

78
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: out any new additional time. I don't want to talk

79
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: about it.

80
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to hope that we win. I can't imagine

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: that anybody would do that kind of devastation to our country.

82
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 3: You know, we'd have to pay back trillions of dollars.

83
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 3: We've taken entrillions. We haven't taken ambillions. We've taken in

84
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 3: trillions of dollars. We've made trade deals based on that.

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:24,799
Speaker 3: That give us as an example, European Union nine hundred

86
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: and fifty billion dollars, Japan six hundred and fifty billion dollars,

87
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: South Korea three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Without this,

88
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: we're not talking about that kind of money.

89
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: And they're okay, they're satisfied.

90
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 3: They love us. I just left. They all love us,

91
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 3: so it's not like we're such bad people. But they

92
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 3: were doing it to us until I came home.

93
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: Okay, it's not about whether anybody likes it. It's not

94
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: about whether it's good. It's about whether it's legal or not.

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: And you have invoked a statute that is centered around

96
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: emergencies that there was not an emergency. You could make

97
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: a compelling case probably on the Mexico and the Canada

98
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 1: because of the fentanyl stuff. I think somebody, a reasonable

99
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: person might buy that. But when you're doing all these

100
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: countries that are allies of us, and like, there's no

101
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: emergency and we just got accept going forward, Like there

102
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: are some people who don't want to admit we live

103
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: in a world economy. Now that ship has sailed. Oh yeah,

104
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: we stopped making stuff and doing stuff here a long

105
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 1: time ago. And it's one thing to have a goal

106
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: to bring that back over the long term. But you're

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: not just gonna just punish it. So and by the way,

108
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: what happened all these this money that's coming in?

109
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 2: Right?

110
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: I thought we were supposed to get money back. Have

111
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: you gotten any money back? Oh? I haven't. I thought

112
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: we're supposed to paying down the debt. Has any debt?

113
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: And let's see what the debt is right doing with

114
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: us debt? Okay, it's saved right there, very good. The

115
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: debt is currently at thirty eight trillion, one and sixty

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty nine million. So no, no, they're not

117
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: paying down any debt. So where'd the money go?

118
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 3: Right?

119
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: What is that money going to?

120
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: Right? The answer is what they're doing is they're in

121
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: the legalized vote. They're giving it away to people during

122
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: this government shutdown to try to make you think, or

123
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: at least that's what they proposed they want to do. Remember,

124
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: originally they proposed to give it back to us. But

125
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: if you have a spin it, then you should just

126
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: be able to give it back and no big deal

127
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 1: unless you've spent it and then you don't have right.

128
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: Well, Trump says that the tariffs equal national security.

129
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: Look, I'm ending war because of these tariffs. The Americans

130
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: would have to fight in some of these wars. They're

131
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 3: gaining and national security, they're gaining, in economics, they're gaining

132
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,239
Speaker 3: in so many different ways, and they're gaining in self

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 3: respect for our own country with other countries used to

134
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 3: laugh at us. They would charge as terffs. Japan was

135
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: charging as massive tariffs, and yet they wouldn't allow our

136
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 3: cars to be sold in Japan. But they were selling

137
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: nine million cars here, but they wouldn't allow one car.

138
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: Not one car was sold in Japan. They don't laugh

139
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: at us anymore. This is really a matter of This

140
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: is national security. And by the way, going bankrupt is

141
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: national security. You know, our country is really in trouble

142
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 3: going stop.

143
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: I will blow a gasket if we don't stop that.

144
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: That infuriates me. Casey, this guy has racked up at

145
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: this point. You tut what he did the first term,

146
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: what he's doing now. We're well over ten trillion dollars

147
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: in his presidencies alone, and he has the audacity to

148
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: talk about being concerned about going bankrupt.

149
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 2: Well, it's either that or if we don't have the tariffs.

150
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Sons and daughters are going to have to go to war.

151
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: Which country was that in, mister President? What country were

152
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: we going to be invading? If we don't have the

153
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: tariffs periff money. And it's not whether it's right or

154
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: it's wrong, it's whether it's legal. If these tariffs are

155
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: so great, then there's a process by which you're supposed

156
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: to go through and get approval on that, and then

157
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: the otis becomes on the United States Congress, which is

158
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: where the authority should lie to approve those things. Most

159
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: of these things are clearly not emergencies. They never should

160
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: have been done this way. He got called out on it.

161
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 1: He's probably going to lose. And instead of looking in

162
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: the mirroring, yeah, you know, I screwed up on that,

163
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: we should have done it this way. Maybe this isn't working.

164
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Heat just starts throwing everything out of Oh we could

165
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: go bankrupt, does it? Oh so the twelve thirteen for

166
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: whatever number right now? Trillion you added, that's not going

167
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: to bankrupt us. It's the tariff deal that's going to

168
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: get out of here. That is so insulting and I

169
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: everyone should just be outraged that he said.

170
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: That seventy five percent of Americans are more stressed about

171
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: the country's future than before. And you've got two thirds

172
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: of young Americans have considered moving abroad. I don't know

173
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 2: where they're planning on moving to.

174
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: Where's it going to be better?

175
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 4: Right?

176
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: What country do you look at and go? They really

177
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: got it, They really got a firm grasp on what's

178
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: going on exactly.

179
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: So some of the top stressors for people economy number

180
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 2: one seventy five percent, money sixty six percent, and then politics,

181
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: housing and a crime at sixty five percent.

182
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,559
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break. When we come back. Oh,

183
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: he's back a friend of the show. He's back for

184
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: his fourth consecutive year. He does this every year and

185
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 1: it is such a big event. Recording legend Billy Dean

186
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: is going to be with us. He's coming back to

187

Speaker 1: to get invited back.

195
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: Places really never happened to you before.

Speaker 1: We can regret singson, They get the experience once and

197

Speaker 1: Also known as your celebrity boyfriend.

203
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. It's been a long time crush.

204
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 2: He's aware of it, by the way, so it won't

205
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: make him uncomfortable anymore.

206
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: Well, we're going to ask him about it here momentarily,

207
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: but before we do, Billy Dean coming back again November

Speaker 1: thirtieth this year, seven pm at the Royal Theater in Danville.

209
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: This is always such a great event. I'm going to

210
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 1: be a part of it again this year as well.

211
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to those details in just a second, but

212
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: let's welcome legendary recording artist Billy Dean on the WIBC hotline. Billy, Hello,

213
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: Hey guys.

214
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: It's such an honor to be invited back up there.

215
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 5: Man.

216
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 4: It's for such a great cause and as you know,

217
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 4: rob Man, we've raised a few We've raised a few

218
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: dollars with a couple of special items that we bring.

219
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 4: I usually autograph of a not just autograph of guitar.

220
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: We usually take and I've only done it just a

221
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,079
Speaker 4: half a dozen times. Where I write the lyric of

222
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: a song like let Them Be Little or Billy the

223
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: Kid or you know somewhere I'm Broken Heart, I'll write

224
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 4: the whole chorus on the guitar. And I've only done

225
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: that just a handful of times, you know, to keep

226
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 4: it kind of valuable. And we raised little money for

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 4: the area there, the shop with the cop and the

228
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 4: different programs they have, And first of all, I can't believe.

229
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: I can't believe they invited me back year after year

230
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 4: if they only knew how smelly my socks were sometimes

231
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 4: when I take these boots off.

232
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, this year, fourth year coming back to dan

233
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: And like you said, all the money goes to charities

234
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: in the greater Danville area. So I'm curious at this

235
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: stage of your career when you decide you're going to

236
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: go places because you live down there in Florida, when

237
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: you decide you're gonna Hey, I'm gonna come to Indiana

238
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: and do this event. What's the scheduling process like for you?

239
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 4: Well, you know, first of all, my buddy Alan Kiger

240
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 4: has been in my court man. He's helped me and

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 4: played my records for years and years as a DJ.

242
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 4: And I just, man, I'm at that stage of my

243
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: career now where it's time to say thank you and

244
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: pay back and pay it forward. You know, we're coming

245
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 4: up on thirty five years of my first release, my

246
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: first album, and we're getting busy again. And so I

247
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 4: just moved to Florida thinking that this. You know, hey,

248
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 4: it's time to sunset the career, maybe a slow down

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 4: a little bit, and then all of a sudden the

250
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: nineties come roaring back. And in fact, I just did

251
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 4: the UH. I did the Rhymens last couple of nights

252
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 4: with Ernest. He's a kid I've known since he was

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: in UH. You know, he went to elementary school with

254
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: my son. He wrote. He's written now eleven number ones,

255
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: a lot of mostly from Morgan Wallen and and he's

256
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: called me and said, hey, man, we come up to

257
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: Nashville and UH and do a couple of nights at

258
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 4: the Rhymen with me I said, yeah, yeah, I will,

259
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: And then we had Danville coming up, and we had

260
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 4: a couple of other things, cause anyway, it totaled to

261
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: be three weeks away from from the island there in Florida,

262
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 4: and I told my wife, I said, well hang on, man,

263
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: because here it comes again. But the only thing is

264
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: I'm not thirty anymore. But but I love it.

265
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 2: Hey, Billy, you mentioned the guitar that you normally autograph

266
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 2: and put a verse to a song on. I'm curious,

267
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: have you picked the song for this year.

268
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 4: I'm thinking that you don't count the cost might be

269
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 4: a good one, and it's a toss up between I

270
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: don't think I've done only here for a little while,

271
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: and I think this year I'm gonna do gonna hold

272
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: who needs hold? And men what needs men? And walk

273
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: what needs walking? Though it means an extra mile, say

274
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: what needs saying, Pray what needs praying. We're only here

275
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 4: for a little while. I just think that message. I

276
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 4: think we need that message hanging on a wall somewhere

277
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 4: to walk by and look at it, because I just

278
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: think thirty five years ago that was the first song

279
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 4: we released, and our country had just went into a desert.

280
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: Storm, and it was.

281
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 4: It was a lyric that people started gravitating towards and two,

282
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 4: and I just think that it's needed again thirty five

283
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 4: years later. I feel like our country kind of needs

284
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 4: those words again, you know, to kind of help bring

285
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 4: people together with music. So I think that might be

286
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 4: the one I'm gonna do. We were re releasing a

287
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 4: brand new version of it, which is one that I

288
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 4: you know, they said, my team said, can you reimagine

289
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 4: some of your old hits? I was like, what does

290
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: that even mean? I'm saying the same way for thirty

291
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: five years reimagined it. But it's interesting because I just

292
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,079
Speaker 4: printed the lyric of only here. For a little while,

293
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: I printed it.

294
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: Out and I looked.

295
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 4: I was just staring at it, and I just happen

296
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 4: to have my guitar on my lap, and as I'm

297
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 4: reading it, I'm just kind of subconsciously noodling with the guitar.

298
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: And I realized, Man, this lyric hits me a lot

299
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 4: different than it did when I was, you know, twenty eight,

300
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 4: twenty nine years old. When I sang it, it means

301
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: has deeper meanings for me now, and so it just

302
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 4: kind of kind of flowed through my fingers. A few

303
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: little different chord changes slowed it down a little bit,

304
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: and so I hope people will like you know, you know,

305
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 4: it's hard to mess with with songs that have been

306
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: classics or you know, I'm not saying that's a classic,

307
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 4: but I'm just saying, you know, it's hard to mess

308
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 4: with something that's worked before. But I really think people

309
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: will see this and hear this almost as a new song.

310
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,800

Speaker 1: the list. But I'm curious, Like you know, the Fogelberg

321
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: the Spring Sea movie came out. You're a phenomenal song, right, like,

322
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: how do you put together a great song? Like when

323
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: you're writing a song, you're like, oh, that's gonna be awesome.

324
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: Where do you get done? This song go? That stinks? Like,

325
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: how do you how do you put together a yeah, you.

326
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: Know one, I kind of you kind of know right away,

327
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 4: you know, you you write through the bad ones and

328
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 4: then the good would the good ones come kind of

329
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: roaring to become obvious, you know. I had a great example.

330
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 4: Buddy mine had his grant, his daughter had twins. He

331
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 4: had another grandson that was a little older. He said, hey, Billy,

332
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: we're going to get to keep our grandson all week long,

333
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: you know, while the twins, you know, and Molly are

334
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 4: in the hospital. And and so I was so happy

335
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 4: for him, and I said, well, man, when that week

336
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 4: is up, buddy, and you have to put that little

337
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 4: booger back in the car and send him back to mom.

338
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 4: I said, you don't need a handkerchief. And it hit

339
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 4: me so hard that young guys, you know, don't have handkerchiefs.

340
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 4: You know, it's like you got to live a little bit.

341
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: All of a sudden, this idea of this handkerchief being

342
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: a metaphor for a life, Well, lived. It hit me

343
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 4: so hard. In course, he's one of my best friends,

344
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: but I was trying to hear his story. But when

345
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: I said that, I said, hey, man, I got to go.

346
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 4: I got a song idea.

347
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 1: Like when you're on stage, like Casey and I say

348
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: this all the time, we're just stealing money from our employer,

349
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Like we get paid to come in here and talk

350
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: each day. Do you ever think about out of your

351
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: career You're like, I'm just having fun of her. I'm

352
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: stealing money from everybody totally.

353
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 4: Man, I'll be on stage singing, just loving it and going.

354
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: You know, you're not getting paid for this night right here.

355
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 4: You're getting paid for the canceled flight that you had

356
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: on the.

357
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: Way up here.

358
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's like Fogelberg said, the audience is heavenly,

359
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 4: but the traveling was hell.

360
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's awesome.

361
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 4: So that's why you kind of you get paid for

362
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: being away from your loved ones and traveling. But man,

363
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 4: it makes it all worthwhile when you're standing up there

364
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 4: and people really are receiving you know what you're singing about.

365
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 4: And you mentioned the folks Burg thing. I even added

366
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 4: this Robi, So in the middle of Firing the Dark.

367
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: A couple of months ago, I was like, man, these

368
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,199
Speaker 4: are the same kind of chord changes for in the

369
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 4: cool of evening. Everything you're getting kind of so I part.

370
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 4: I put spooky with Fire in the Dark and now,

371
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 4: and I put Old Black Water with Billy the Kid,

372
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: all kind of you know, Old Blackwall who keep on

373
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 4: roll some of these old classic rock songs that I

374
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: I grew up with. And I realized these songs were

375
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: the reason that I wrote songs like Billy the Kid,

376
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 4: or that I chose songs like only the Wind. They

377
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: came from a you know, like we always say the

378
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 4: nineties was the sixties turned upside down, it really was, Billy.

379
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,120
Speaker 2: I'm curious. As Rob mentioned, this is the fourth time

380
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 2: they've invited you back for this event. What motivates you

381
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 2: to keep coming back?

382
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: Well, man, a little bit has to do with that

383
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 4: Mayberry cafe up there that they got. You get a

384
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: home cooked meal made you get real green beans and

385
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 4: not out of a can, and real mash potato is

386
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: not out of a box. I love that.

387
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: And the other thing I love Casey is Billy when

388
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 1: he comes, he doesn't just like jet in and jet out.

389
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: This's not some U two affair. Billy was like pounding

390
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: Bruis at the local pub. I mean it was great, Billy.

391
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: We love it, man. November the thirtieth is the date,

404
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 3: Hey.

405
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Steve Perry everybody. Yeah, better known as the

406
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 1: guy who wrote in sang most of the songs and Journey.

407
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. So Journey has announced their farewell tour.

408
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: Oh they're on one now too.

409
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Kicks off February twenty eighth in Hershey, Pennsylvania. They're

410
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: going to be in Indianapolis March seventeenth. Is that the

411
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: day March seventeenth, I believe? Yeah, okay, Gamebridge.

412
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: So you know how I feel about these bands. Now,

413
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna you're the music radio experts. I'm gonna let

414
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: you either say, Rob, You're totally validated in your belief

415
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: system or you are totally off in your belief system.

416
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: Either way is fine. We can either just agree and

417
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: move on, or we have a spirited debate. If the

418
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: guy who wrote and sang, now, this is true with

419
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: the with the Foreigner, It's certainly true with Styx. Yeah,

420
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: are you Speedwagon now that Kevin Cronin is not there?

421
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: And Journey, like, I feel like those are the four

422
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: big ones that in the seventies and eighties were just

423
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: these juggernaut, larger than life bands. If the guy who

424
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: wrote and sang and so in this case it's Steve Perry.

425
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: Most of the songs, yeah, like every one of the

426
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: on Journey's greatest hits, all but two of the songs

427
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: Steve Perry has a writing credit, and I think all

428
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 1: of them except for maybe one of them, he's the

429
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 1: vocalist on Does he.

430
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 2: Have singular writing credit or is it he's just one

431
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: of the many.

432
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: It's shown Neil shown in that Jonathan Cane Doud who

433
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: still the band. So, by the way, Journey only has

434
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 1: one original guy. It's the Neil showing the guitar players

435
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: there either. Well, he's there, but he's not original. Now,

436
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: I will give you credit for him because he was

437
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: there at the height of Journey the eighties. He joined

438
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: in the early eighties, so we'll count him, right, So

439
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: you got two dudes of what at the height was Journey. Yeah, okay,

440
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: but I have a real problem when the guy who

441
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 1: wrote and sang the majority or all of the songs

442
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: is not in the band anymore.

443
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's just not the same. It's like

444
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 2: the you know, and it's not a thing like where

445
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: where you know?

446
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: Okay, Queen Freddie Mercury dies right, and then fifteen years

447
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: later they come back and they're like, well, obviously he

448
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: ain't performing. Let's get an equal replacement. They brought Paul

449
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: Rodgers in from Bad Company. And you're like, Paul Rogers

450
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: is freaking awesome. Nobody's gonna be Freddy Mercury. But this

451
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: guy's pretty darn close. I accept your offer because this

452
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: guy cannot perform. It's just you know whatever, all these

453
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: guys it's some different thing. It's usually he can't get

454
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: along and guy hijacks a band or something. But am

455
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: I wrong? Am I just? Am I just an old

456
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: man who yells at clouds? Or Do I have a

457
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: case here?

458
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 2: I think you have a case here. But I think

459
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 2: that there's many people like, Hey, this is your last

460
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: chance to ever see Journey in any Neil Shown and

461
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 2: Jonathan Kane, Right, it's your last chance to see those

462
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: two guys in any sort of combination of Journey on stage.

463
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I've been hung up on this for years.

464
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, I really got it hung up on this

465
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: when I was Overnight's Casey. Most people know Casey and

466
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,879
Speaker 1: I once upon a time that we did not work together.

467
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: We worked for the same guy at one point. Yeah,

468
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: that was my first real full time job. And he

469
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: did he did. He liked you much better than he

470
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,239
Speaker 1: liked me. Did you ever get a hotline call at

471
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: three am?

472
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 3: No?

473
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 2: No?

474
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. But anyway, when I just sit there in my

475
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 1: own stew you know, in two thirty in the morning,

476
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: with nothing else to do, and I would ponder things

477
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: like this, and I would see these, you know, songs

478
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: come up and these bands have been doing this for

479
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: so long now. I was like, that just doesn't seem right.

480
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: It's not the band, the out the guy who wrote

481
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: and sang most of the song, the front man.

482
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: So I think Journey didn't did. They kind of go

483
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 2: off the off the off the rails. When they had

484
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 2: what was his name, Steve Cherry who full in for

485
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 2: Steve Perry, they hired.

486
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: Some song like I thought Arnell Panada guy or whatever

487
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: his name is had been there was the guy I

488
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: think said there.

489
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: Was somebody else in between Steve Perry.

490
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: They've been doing this for a while now.

491
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 2: Right when Steve Perry left, they had some other guys.

492
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: Because that Arnellaneda Panada whatever is Potato Potato, let's call

493
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: him there for a while. Let's call the whole thing off,

494
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: all right. But what he was a somewhat I mean

495
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: he was it's not like we're bringing to Paul Rodgers, right,

496
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: but he was a kind of a known quantity because

497
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 1: didn't van Halen do this too? Not after Roth and

498
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 1: then Hager left, they brought some other dude in and

499
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: it was a disaster, but they were still running around

500
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 1: his Van van Halen and they were like, that's not

501
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: goal work. We got to bring one of these guys

502
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: back Cave. You're the musician here, you tell me, Am

503
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: I off base on this?

504
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 5: Well, I think Arnell Pinedo was just a super fan

505
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 5: and he's from the Philippines. Yeah, and just came from

506
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 5: humble beginnings and somehow he was.

507
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: Like some sort of accomplished singer. Though, is that not true?

508
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: Did I imagine that they just pulled him out of

509
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: a win a Sing for Journey contest?

510
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, he might have won some kind of contest, but

511
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 5: I don't know. I thought I thought he just like

512
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 5: they saw one of his videos that he uploads this series.

513
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Neil Showan began searching YouTube for a new

514
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 2: lead vocalist. Are kidding? Ready?

515
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,479
Speaker 1: No, They're like, that guy's pretty good. Where's he at? Well,

516
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: he's in the Philippines, Sir, get him.

517
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 2: Let's hire that guy and bring him on tour. Yeah.

518
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's extremely talented. I will say that that's.

519
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: Fine, But I would like to think that Journey could

520
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: have done something to carry on the legacy of Steve Perry.

521
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: Not that he's no longer with us. I think he's

522
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: still very much with us. With some guy other than

523
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: a fan winning a contest.

524
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 2: That's what they should do. If this is really the

525
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: farewell tools, they should bring Steve Perry back, if he

526
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 2: would do it, you know, if nothing else, at the

527
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: end of every show, come out, do one song.

528
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: The end of every show.

529
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 2: It was the show, faithfully, I know. But I mean

530
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: he left the band.

531
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna have this fan do the whole concert,

532
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 1: and the guy that you remember seeing in the heyday, We're.

533
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: Bringing the one guy that you really the reason you

534
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 2: you loved us because of his vocals still sing one song.

535
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: So yeah, I mean, Journey so much success they had,

536
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: they sold so many records, like over one hundred million globally.

537
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Steve Perry's really good case at a.

538
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 2: Time when you actually had to spend your money to

539
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: buy the cassette or the album. I used to have.

540
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: Which one was Stone in Love on? Uh not Infinity?

541
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 2: I can't remember which was.

542
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: I just had this up. Let's see here, I just

543
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: I just literally had this up because we were talking

544
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,120
Speaker 1: about great uh, great Journey songs. Hang on here because

545
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:56,200
Speaker 1: they have so many uh what is this scape?

546
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 4: Escape?

547
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, that's it? Yeah yeah, yeah, Escape. So I

548
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: had but I used to buy albums, I believe.

549
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: It or not, Rob how we did it in the fifties.

550
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 2: Eyeing albums, and I took the album and hung it

551
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: up in my.

552
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: Locker because, like I said, I mean with Sticks, Okay,

553
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 1: what are the songs you think of with six Babe Lady,

554
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: Best of Times, Come sail Away? They're all dennist Young songs.

555
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: I'm not disputing that Tommy Shaw had and James Young

556
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: had some songs that were reasonably you know, a blue

557
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: collar man, too much time on my hands. So those

558
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: obviously have been played for years on radio. I get that,

559
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: But then you can't in the case of Sticks, they've

560
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: been horribly rotten to Denisty Young and then play all

561
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 1: those songs with some of their guys singing You're gonna

562
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: be rotten to the guy and say, oh, it didn't

563
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: matter that he's not here anymore. That don't play the songs.

564
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: You know how well that concert go over if it

565
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: was just too much time on my hands and man

566
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: in the wilderness, everybody walk out.

567
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: I think Jersey's got more hits though, than Styx did. No, Yeah,

568
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 2: I think so.

569
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: Remember in the Big Daddy movie with Adam Sandler where

570
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: he teaches just the kid and the kid asked, like

571
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: what he learned or something, and he goes. Stix is

572
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Most

573
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: critic and critics are just cynical a holes, that's right.

574
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Dennis de Young is a saint. Casey a saint.

575
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 2: Don't stop believing, faithfully, separate ways, wheeling the sky, who's crying?

576
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 4: Now?

577
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: Anyway you want, that's the way you need it.

578
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: I would put the Mount Rushmore sticks up against Journey

579
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: any day. Like, what do you say are.

580
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 2: The top four Jurney songs?

581
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: What are you pick it as the top?

582
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 2: And love and Squeeze and feeling that way, send her

583
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: my love. I mean, I'm on the thirteen and these

584
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: are all major hits.

585
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: But I just said I would put the Mount Rushmore

586
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: of Sticks up against the Mount Rushmore of Journey any day.

587
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: What are you going with? What are your top four

588
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: Journey songs?

589
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 2: Hop four, don't stop believing, faithfully, open arms, and then

590
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: that fourth one you could probably there's plenty to choose from.

591
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I've got my personal there.

592
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Are lots of presidents to pick from, and they picked

593
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: a guy. They picked Roosevelt. Yeah, uh yeah, Teddy Roosevelt.

594
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,120
Speaker 2: Any way you want it, Okay, that's my four.

595
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: I would say, come sail away, babe, best of times lady.

596
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Isn't it interesting that you these are rock bands, arena

597
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: rock bands that we're talking about, and we both said

598
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 2: their top four songs are these rock ballads.

599
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, because love songs. Most people are lazy and they

600
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: don't want to listen to the lyrics, and the lyrics

601
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: are where it's at. Casey, don't be a lazy musical consumer.

602
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 2: I won't.

603
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: All right up next, you're going, aren't you? You're gonna

604
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: go to go see Journey.

605
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: I've seen them. I saw them on a military base.

606
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: Real Journey or pretender.

607
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 2: It was pretend Journey. It's still good though, because you

608
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: knew all the songs in all the words.

609
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this thing will sell out. People love it.

610
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: Good for them. We're just having fun.

611
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: Speed Dome, that's the thing.

612
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 1: Yes, we're gonna talk all about an Indiana institution you

613
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: may have heard of but not know a lot about.

614
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: When we come back.

615
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 2: It's Kendall and Casey on ninety three w IBCs.

616
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 1: Just Casey, there's an institution in the city of Indianapolis.

617
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: A lot of people probably heard the name of it,

618
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 1: but maybe they don't know exactly what it is.

619
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: And I'm one of those people, so please start explaining.

620
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, that's a great thing about our city

621
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: is there's so many super cool things that sort of

622
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: become a part of the lexicon, and yet many people

623
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: have never had an experience with it. And that's our

624
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: next segment because we're going to learn about it and

00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: The Indianapolis speed Drome has been entertaining race fans not

00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: just across Central Indiana, but across the Midwest. And they

Speaker 6: How are you my man?

637

Speaker 1: Doing? Great? So tell us about the speed Room because

638
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: I have heard about this place for years, and it's

639
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,959
Speaker 1: been there since nineteen forty one, and people are still

640
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: flooding in there. What is the speed drom. Let me

641
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: tell you something.

642
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: The speed drom is a one fifth paved paved my

643
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 6: I guess one's a mile sorry, paved oval and Figure

644
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 6: eight on the east side of India at fifty two

645
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 6: and Kittley. And it's been there, like you said, for

646
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 6: like eighty years, for over eighty years, in fact eighty five.

647
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 6: All going on in twenty twenty six and they it's contested,

648
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 6: But apparently the sport of figure eight racing was created

649
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 6: at the Indianapolis seed Room. Now, I know there are

650
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 6: some people in other states, like New York that might say, no,

651
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 6: it wasn't it was created here, But we're not here

652
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 6: to talk about that. We're here to talk about the

653
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 6: Indianapolis Speedroom. You know, Indianapolis is a city built on

654
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 6: the backs of bricks and sweet mother speed. But it's

655
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 6: not just home to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It's also home,

656
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 6: as you know, to the Indianapolis Speed Room.

657
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's talk about Figure eight racing for a second.

658
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Obviously the racing capital of the world. Case he thinks

659
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: about the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, tell us about Figure eight

660
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: racing because this is fascinating for sure.

661
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

662
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 6: So when a lot of people think of figure eight racing,

663
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 6: they think of a bunch of hillbillies going out and

664
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 6: getting cars and wrecking them.

665
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 2: Wrong.

666
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 6: These are purpose built race cars. Some of these cars

667
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 6: cost anywhere from thirty to fifty to seventy five thousand

668
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 6: dollars and they race them in a figure eight race.

669
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 6: And they have several across the season. They have about

670
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 6: twenty during the season, and they have a major one

671
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 6: in September towards the end of the season called the

672
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 6: three hour Figure eight and that's three hours of outlaw

673
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 6: figure eight racing at the Indianapolis Speed Room.

674
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: Josh Malsak is our guest. He's here talking about the

675
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Speed Drum. They got a big event coming up

676
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: on Saturday, which we're going to get to. But like

677
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 1: thousands of people every year flood into this speed Drom.

678
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Rights like this is a major economic driver for the

679
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 1: city of Indianapolis.

680
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 6: I mean, it's gotta be man. It's a beautiful, wonderful facility.

681
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 6: The owners are fantastic, the management is great. You know,

682
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 6: It's one of those things sometimes often goes overlooks. Peoplere like, oh,

683
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 6: let's go to a Let's go to a PACER's game,

684
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 6: Let's go to a Colts game, let's go to a

685
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 6: let's go to an Indians game at Victory Field. When really,

686
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 6: in fact, for like one third the cost of going

687
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,719
Speaker 6: to a Colts game, you can go to the Indianapolis

688
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: speed Drome, pay for your ticket, and then you can

689
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 6: get your family in for another thirty or forty bucks.

690
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 6: You know you can't have that kind of fun for

691
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 6: less than fifteen bucks, You know what I mean.

692
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 2: Josh, I'm curious. How fast do these cars go?

693
00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 6: It varies, it depends. Sometimes they can go anywhere from

694
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 6: about seventy miles an hour. It doesn't seem very fast

695
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 6: when you see it, but when you're on a fifth

696
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 6: mile and there and the the outlaw cars are crossing

697
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 6: in front of each other, it's it's very uh Sometimes

698
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 6: it can be puckering, as they say. Uh so, I

699
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 6: don't know if we can use that word.

700
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Yes, the words you use.

701
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 6: Let's just say that you might need a spash, let

702
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 6: it get off your seats sometimes, you know what I mean?

703
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 3: Uh so?

704
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,479
Speaker 2: Uh So.

705
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 6: It not only do they have outlaws, salves to have

706
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 6: other classes like they race Crown Victoria's, they race four

707
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 6: cylinder cars, they race go cards, they race these things

708
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 6: called modified They're so cool, man. It's a beautiful, wonderful facility.

709
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Josh Malsek is our guest, and I love this segment

710
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 1: because this is what the speed Drobe is all about.

711
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: This dude didn't get getting paid to do this interview. Yeah,

712
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: he's not an employee. He's just some guy who loves

713
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 1: the Speed Drom and what it does.

714
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 2: An advocate.

715
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why we called him an advocate. And so

716
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,000
Speaker 1: that's a real quick to be we're talking about the

717
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: big event. That's what the speed Drom really is. It's

718
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: people who love racing, like these people who are racing.

719
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: It is some people who want to be professional racers,

720
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: but it's also these weekend warrior type people. It's people

721
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: who truly have a love of the sport.

722
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, and dare I say it, it's real money racing,

723
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 6: you know. Yeah, you've got your massive sponsors in Indian NASCAR,

724
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 6: But when you really think about it, the real money

725
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 6: is the people who are trying to say, well, do

726
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 6: I want to have steak for dinner or eat a

727

744
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 6: a car, you just knock out all the glass, so

745
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 6: that's like the windows except for the front windshield and

746
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 6: then the lights and everything, and then you can race

747
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 6: on a Noble. On top of that, we're doing something

748
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 6: called the Kevin Pringle memorial fifteen laps, figure eight. It's

749
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 6: it's adults on power wheels. Okay, Like remember those little

750
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 6: cars the kids have where you set a little battery

751
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 6: in there and you go, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, Lis

752
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 6: And here's the deal. It's fifteen laps. And there I

753
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 6: when my buddy Dave, my buddy Dave Hollinsworth came to

754
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 6: me and said, Josh, I want to put on this

755
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 6: event for my brother. Can you help me? And I'm like, dude,

756
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 6: yes a million times. Yes, you're a great friend. I

757
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 6: know that your brother was well known in our community.

758
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 6: He was one of those kind of guys that would

759
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 6: help people. He would help them whenever they needed it,

760
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 6: didn't matter who they were. He wasn't he wasn't worried about,

761
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 6: you know, being popular or anything like that, or siding

762
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: with one side or another. He would help out with

763
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 6: anyone in the pits. And that's that's a big deal.

764
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 6: And you see that a lot with short track racing,

765
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 6: where someone will need something and and they won't and

766
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 6: then they'll reach out and someone like yeah, I got that.

767
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 6: When he help you out, you know that, that's what

768
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 6: you see most of the time in short track racing

769
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 6: sometimes you know the sideways.

770
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: Excuse me, but real quick, Josh would tell us about

771
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,440
Speaker 1: the power wheels, like this race fascinates me. We're going

772
