Oh oh my god. 14 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: This was. 15 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: This was with the inaugural class. It's a story because 16 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: I was surprised at the name. If you were to 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: tell me in nineteen eighty six, all right, we're gonna 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 2: have a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It's gonna 19 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: be great, throw a big party every year. We're gonna 20 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 2: in duct people. But let's have the let's have the 21 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: first inductees. None of these names would have come to 22 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 2: mind now doesn't mean they're bad. It just wouldn't. I 23 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't have thought of these people. 24 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:17,919 Speaker 1: Yeah. 25 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: Uh maybe Elvis, you got it? Wow? Really you Hey, 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 2: he was in the inaugural class. Mark Ronner, throw me 27 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: a name that in nineteen eighty six, you would say, 28 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: this should this guy, this girl, this act should be 29 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 2: in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, no question. 30 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's funny. What I remember from the time, 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 3: and my memories are pretty skeletal, is that everybody was 32 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 3: just baffled that it was in Cleveland, Okay, right, because like, 33 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 3: why the hell else would you ever go to Cleveland 34 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 3: for anything. My guess, and I don't remember any of 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 3: the names, my guess is the Stones. No, all right, 36 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: I would have said the Rolling Stones. 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: I mean, if we're having a rock and roll Hall 38 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 2: of Fame, we're going to start it right now, it 39 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: would be something like the Rolling Stone Ones. No. Oh, 40 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: that's insane. I mean, they're in the Rock and Roll 41 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,760 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. But the first year they were not, 42 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 2: It wasn't. They didn't come to anybody to say, you know, think, yeah, certainly, 43 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: let's start this off, right, let's let's go ahead and 44 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: go I mean the Stones are still performing in eighty six, 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 2: but still by then they had to earn their place. 46 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 3: In the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Oh, the 47 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: whole enterprise is invalid. 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: Man oh man. All right, here's the list. 49 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 4: The class of nineteen eighty six made up much of 50 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 4: the foundation of rock. 51 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: And roll, much of the foundation of rock and roll. 52 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,959 Speaker 2: So there's a bit of a clue. So they went 53 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: back to the foundation of rock and roll, which I 54 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: would argue is impossible because somebody influenced Chuck Berry, somebody 55 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 2: influenced Elvis, So to say that these individuals are the 56 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 2: foundation of rock and roll is unfair. But I mean, 57 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: so is lifting a lot of songs from Robert Johnson 58 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 2: for Led Zeppelin. 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 4: Right, Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley, Little Richard FA's Domino, Buddy 60 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 4: Holly Ray, Charles James Brown, Sam Cook, and Jerry Lee Lewis. 61 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Well, there you go. That's the inaugural class. Sam Cook, 62 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he had a couple hit songs in the fifties, 63 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: but they were chosen. This list was chosen because they 64 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: felt this laid the foundation. There would be no Rolling Stones, 65 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 2: there would be no Eagles, there would be no anybody. 66 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: If it were not for this twelve Chuck Berry, Elvis Foosh, 67 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: you got it, man, I can't believe it. There'd be 68 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: no rock and roll without Elvis. There'd be no rock 69 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 2: and roll without Little Richard, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Everly Brothers, 70 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: Sam Cook, Ray Charles, James Brown, and Jerry Lee Lewis. 71 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: And I thought, ah, I'm not sure they're all. Some 72 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: of them are kind of one hit wonders. Now, they 73 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 2: did have a sound, and I'll give you that. Whatever 74 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: happened to Marvin Berry. We learned about Marvin Berry in 75 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: Back to the Future, heard from him again. I mean 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 2: he he was, you know, playing guitar for a while, 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 2: scratched his hand trying to get fox out of the 78 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: back of that trunk, and we never heard about him again. 79 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 2: And he really discovered the Chuck Berry sound, Marvin Berry. 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 2: But Elvis's name kind of jumps off the page. 81 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 5: Uh. 82 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: Everly Brothers. I mean, I guess they had a sound. 83 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: This sounds like the fifties version of the Rock and 84 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: Roll Hall of Fame. Maybe they should have done it 85 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: by decades. I don't know, but it is forty years 86 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: old now. And you're right. Cleveland was the location I 87 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: don't know how they decided on Cleveland. Did it have 88 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 2: something with w KRP and that Cincinnati, So I'm not 89 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 2: exactly sure how Cleveland got it, But that's there. I've 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 2: not been. I would like to go. That does sound 91 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: like a cool thing. Is that something like this? iHeart 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 2: ever do events at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 93 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: I know we got you know, the Jingle Ball and 94 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 2: all these music festivals all the time, but I never 95 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 2: see them do anything at the Rock and Roll Hall 96 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 2: of Fame, and you would think they would. 97 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,159 Speaker 3: I'm down for that, and I demand a ticket if 98 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 3: they do. You know, I can get behind James Brown 99 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: being in that first class. That's a solid choice. Yeah, 100 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: I would argue that's true because of the sound. That's 101 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 3: what I think I'm looking for. I'm always looking for 102 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 3: bringing something new that didn't exist. That's why I'm a 103 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 3: huge fan of Jimmy Hendrix. Jimmy Hendrix was I mean, 104 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: nothing sounded like that at the time. I'm sure people 105 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 3: that were musicians were like, what's the deal. 106 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: He's way too loud, Everything is overdriven and it's distorted. 107 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 2: Why is that like music? But he was able to 108 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 2: turn distortion and way too loud guitars directly in front 109 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: of the amplifier, which you're not supposed to do. You're 110 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: not supposed to if you play guitar electric guitar, then 111 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: you know this, you get feedback. You're not supposed to 112 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: stand in front of the amplifier. Hedrick's always did and 113 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: was able to turn that noise into well what he 114 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 2: considered to be music, and everybody thought, wow, this is 115 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: fantastic stuff, this is wild. So he changed the way 116 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: the instrument was used and created music out of it. Right. 117 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 2: Eddie van Halen with the tapping, used that technique which 118 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: he didn't invent, but made music out of it. And 119 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 2: so that's unique. Same thing as you said, I mean, 120 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 2: there's certainly James Brown just I mean an unbelievable stage 121 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: presence and screeching into the microphone turned that into music. 122 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: That's Domino two. I guess Ray Charles, I don't know. 123 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: The movie kind of soured me on Ray Charles's life, 124 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 2: all right, But there's more, believe it or not, there 125 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: is actually more rock and roll music in the news. 126 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: The Eagles' Greatest Hits album has just crossed a threshold. 127 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 2: You're not gonna believe it. You're not gonna believe what 128 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: happened the Eagles today and it's coming up next. 129 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM sixty on demand. 130 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: Pop quiz on music culture, Mark Ronner, what is the 131 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 2: number one selling album of all time in the United States? 132 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: Well and educated guests, Based on what you said before 133 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 3: the break, I'll say the Eagles greatest hits? 134 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I get too that. See I that's a 135 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: bad tease? Was I cheating? 136 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,119 Speaker 6: Now? 137 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: You just read into the tea's because I tease too much? 138 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 2: Doesn't everybody own that? Though? By law you have that, 139 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 2: don't you? I have it? I I am. I continue 140 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 2: to be fascinated with the Eagles. People don't realize how 141 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: many hit songs they had, Like they just categorized the 142 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: Eagles into oh, it's like a big seventies band, right, 143 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 2: like you know Around the Doors and Fleetwood Mac No, yeah, 144 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: I mean those other bands were great. The Eagles just 145 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 2: came out with hits, three hits per album. Do you 146 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: know how many bands have one hit on an album 147 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 2: and then they go on to make three or four 148 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 2: more albums. The Beatles had hits on every single album. 149 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 2: And you're right, the greatest Hits album from the Eagles 150 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: is now the number because people are still buying Eagle songs. 151 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 5: The Eagles their Greatest Hits nineteen seventy one to nineteen 152 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 5: seventy five, has become the best selling album of all 153 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 5: time in the US, officially selling forty million units. 154 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: Forty million units. It used to be forty million copies, 155 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: but it's not a copy anymore. That refers to a 156 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: pressing of a vinyl, so a unit would be anyway. 157 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 2: The Eagles made money from you buying it, So whether 158 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: it's a CD, a cassette, an eight track, whether you 159 00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: downloaded it to your iPod, or if it's where however 160 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 2: it's in your house or in your life. Forty million. 161 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: That is some good. 162 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 5: Songs, according to a new certification from the Recording Industry 163 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 5: Association of America. It was also announced the band's nineteen 164 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 5: seventy six album Hotel California has been certified twenty eight 165 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 5: times platinum, maintaining its position as the third best selling album. 166 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: So the third This is amazing to me. I think 167 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: there's a couple of things that are going on here 168 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: because the Eagles are not like you don't see many 169 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: other artists. You know, doing an homage to an Eagle song. 170 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: That was like a big thing for a while. That 171 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: was a formula in the eighties for a lot of 172 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: rock bands. They would put out an album and do 173 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 2: one cover tune, right, Van Halen had all originals and 174 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: you really got me, you know, I think somebody did, 175 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: like like a Bruce Springsteen song, Like everybody had one 176 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: cover tune on there. And you don't make money on 177 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 2: the cover tunes because you got to pay the kinks 178 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: when you know when that song is so you know, 179 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: but it's it's you know, it's hookie and uh, you know, 180 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 2: people might like it because it's nostalgic. So there was 181 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 2: a thing going on. There was another what was the 182 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 2: one that Blinded by the Light was a cover tune 183 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: done in the eighties, so it was kind of a formula. 184 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 2: But the Eagles. Nobody really covered any Eagles songs on 185 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: their albums that I can recall. But I do know 186 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 2: this when cover bands play. There's a number of venues 187 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles, in Orange County and San Diego, and 188 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: I like going to go see cover bands. I think 189 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 2: it's a lot of fun. These are people that dress up, 190 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: they've changed their hair to look like you know, the performers. 191 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 2: They have all the moves down, and it's the music 192 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: played by people that love the music so much that 193 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: they have a career in looking exactly like you know, 194 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: Mick Jagger or David Lee Raw or you know whoever, 195 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 2: and it's it's real. 196 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: WoT. 197 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 2: I think it's a good night out. And you know, 198 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 2: it doesn't cost you what it costs to go see 199 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 2: the actual band. And usually, you know, when you go 200 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 2: see the actual band on a reunion tour or you know, 201 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: their final tour or whatever, these guys are in the 202 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 2: sixties and seventies, and it's just, you know, it can 203 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: be disappointing. Now you can say I finally saw the Eagles, 204 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: but you really didn't because some of them aren't even 205 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: with us anymore. But you go watch an Eagles cover band, 206 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: what a night. There's a venue I think it's I 207 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 2: think it is down where where Handle lives in San 208 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: Juan Capistrano, called like the Coach House, and that's all 209 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: they do. It's a huge venue. It reminds me of 210 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: the venue that the guys in the Blues Brothers played 211 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: in in that final scene of the Blues Brothers it's 212 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 2: like a great, big haul and that's all people do 213 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 2: is sit and eat and drink. And then there's a band. 214 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: And I've been there a number of times and it's great. 215 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: I mean, it's so great to watch a band that 216 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: isn't the band play the band's music and just do 217 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: it perfectly, Like every note in the solo is exactly 218 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: the way it is on the record. They don't take 219 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 2: any creative license. They did do it perfectly, and I 220 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 2: notice of all. And they it is so popular, at 221 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: least at this venue that they put out the list 222 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 2: of bands that are happening for half a year, like 223 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 2: the January the twenty sixth list came out and it 224 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 2: goes until July thirty first, and then somewhere around April 225 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 2: they'll come out with the back half of the year. 226 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 2: And who's playing New Year's Eve? I mean, they're open 227 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 2: like every weekend and even holidays, and there is of 228 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 2: all the fifty two acts, well it's like one hundred 229 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 2: and four because it's a different one Friday and Saturday night. 230 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 2: There is no act that does two nights in a 231 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: row except the Eagles cover band, and I don't know 232 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 2: their name. It's probably Witchy Woman or you know Hotel 233 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: California or you know something like that, Like it's some 234 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 2: playoff of a song usually is the way that works. 235 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 2: But they have I mean they have Elton John cover band, 236 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,439 Speaker 2: they have Motley Crue cover band, they have Billy Joel 237 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 2: cover band. They have all these cover bands and they 238 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 2: play once one time only, one night only, and the 239 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 2: Eagles is always two nights because that's how popular these 240 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 2: songs are. Like you could go to an Eagles cover 241 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 2: band concert and every single song you'll know, and if 242 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 2: people aren't Eagles fans, they'll realize that they always were. 243 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 2: That's how great this band was. By the way, everybody 244 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 2: that is not familiar with the greatness of the Eagles 245 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 2: certainly knows Hotel California. Ronner am I right. Even people 246 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 2: that are not Eagles fans, they if they've heard the 247 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 2: word the Eagles, they know that the Eagles wrote Hotel California. Yeah, 248 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: it's inescapable, inescapable, right. It's kind of like Sweet Home 249 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 2: Alabama and Leonard Skinner, Like I don't know any of 250 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: the songs, but I know they know that song. Same thing. Eagles, 251 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 2: Hotel California, the Hotel California. Album that made the Eagles 252 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: famous came out after their greatest hits Let That Sink In. 253 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: They had already released a greatest hits album before Hotel California. 254 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: Most people think, oh, that was their Opus, that was 255 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 2: the you know, that was their Stairway to Heaven. That 256 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 2: was you know, they were the biggest, biggest song. No, 257 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: they already had a greatest hits album and now people 258 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 2: are still buying that album now that as you heard 259 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 2: there is now number three. 260 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 5: It was also announced the band's nineteen seventy six album 261 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 5: Hotel California, has been certified twenty eight times platinum, maintaining 262 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 5: its position as the third best selling album, third. 263 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 2: Best selling album in US history, and right in the middle. 264 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 2: Should be no surprise is Thriller by Michael Jackson. So 265 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 2: in the top five best selling albums of all time 266 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 2: in the United States, the Eagles show up twice, in 267 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: first place and in third place. Absolutely unbelievable to me. Yeah, 268 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 2: so good, so so good. I would argue that you 269 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 2: could not write and perform Eagles song. I think they 270 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: would get in all kinds of trouble. I mean, when 271 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: you consider the songs that are getting pulled like the 272 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: Christmas song. What's that Christmas song? 273 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 3: You know? 274 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 2: Because I want to stay? Baby it's cold outside. Oh, 275 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: Baby it's cold outside. That's the song. Oh not their song, No, 276 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: not their song. I'm saying in this culture now where 277 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: we can't have songs like baby it's cold outside because 278 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: she asks what's in this drink? And the concern is 279 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: that somebody slipped her mickey and he's trying to keep 280 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: her to stay, which is, you know, Quoi's eye sexual assault. 281 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 2: But when you think about what the Eagles wrote about, 282 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 2: Lion Eyes could be taken as a pretty misogynistic song. 283 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 2: City girls seem to find out early how to open 284 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: doors with just a smile a rich old man and 285 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 2: she don't have to worry. Dresses up and lace and 286 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: goes in style. I'm not sure that would fly with 287 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 2: the feminist crowd right now. I don't know. 288 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six forty on demand. 289 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: The Eagles making history. Somebody called me during the break. 290 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 2: You know, Hollywood, there's always going to be somebody that 291 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 2: wants to make the correction. The Eagle's Greatest Hits is 292 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: not an album. Mark Ronner, The Eagle's Greatest Hits is 293 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 2: a release. Oh what's the difference? An album is music 294 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 2: that has created for the album, A Greatest Hits is 295 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: a release of a collection of hit songs. 296 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: Well, if we know one thing about rock and roll, 297 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: it's that it's based on being completely literal minded about everything. 298 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,040 Speaker 2: Ah well this guy was. Yeah, So like in the 299 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 2: Eagles discography, the Greatest Hits isn't in it because it's 300 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,199 Speaker 2: a release. It's not its own album, all right, So 301 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 2: they go, all right, Well, so the Eagle's Greatest Hits 302 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 2: release is the number one selling piece of units or 303 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: whatever they call it, sold more units than anything else, 304 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 2: number one biggest. People are still in love with the Eagles, 305 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: and I don't blame them. I just I is there 306 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,680 Speaker 2: maybe I should watch this when I go home tonight 307 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: on Netflix. Is there a Becoming the Eagles special? I 308 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 2: know there's like this Becoming led Zeppel and that was 309 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 2: pretty good, But there's got to be somebody has had 310 00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,640 Speaker 2: to do a documentary on how unbelievably good the Eagles were. 311 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 3: Well, now you've got me curious, and I'd watch one 312 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 3: because I want to know how the surviving members of 313 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: the Eagles live. I mean, they must be richer than 314 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 3: Sultan's right. 315 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 2: Well now, because the artists, so, I mean, they were 316 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 2: not in it for the money. Most of the founding 317 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: members of the Eagles were already successful musicians in Los 318 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: Angeles and they were backing up not Carly Summon, who's 319 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 2: that girl that was big she dated Jerry Brown, Linda Ronstone. Shoot, 320 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: they were like they you know, they backed her up. 321 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: They were on stage with Linda Ronstaff for Crying Out Loud, 322 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 2: and you know, they were writing songs with j. D. Souther. 323 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 2: I mean, they were already big, so they just started 324 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 2: to be bigger together and they just had hit song 325 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 2: after hit song after hit song every single album. I 326 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 2: mean One of These Nights, which was the album that 327 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 2: really put them on the charts, was their fourth album, 328 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: and that's the one that had Lion Eyes, which I 329 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 2: like that song very much, so I'm not bothered by it. 330 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: But I wonder if somebody came out with a song 331 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 2: like Lion Eyes now and what the National Organization for 332 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: Women would say, or I mean, would they be canceled 333 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: because of the way they care? Like the girl in 334 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 2: Lion Eyes is not a good girl. I mean, she's 335 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: she's got a sugar daddy, and she uses him for 336 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 2: his money and his hands are as cold as ice. 337 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 2: So she lies and says she's going to go visit 338 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 2: a girlfriend who's you know, blue, but she's really headed 339 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,400 Speaker 2: for the cheating part of town. And she has sex 340 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 2: with this boy and then she goes back and drinks 341 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 2: his booze in the middle of the kitchen in the 342 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 2: middle of the night, and you know, it's just that 343 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 2: she's a hot mess. 344 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 3: It sounds like the kind of thing Taylor Swift would do. 345 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 3: The shoes on the other foot now, right. 346 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 2: See like Taylor Swift has like these same kind of storylines, 347 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: but they're they're pleasant. Lion, I's a great song. 348 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:13,960 Speaker 7: See. 349 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 2: That's also the part that I think defines the Eagles 350 00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 2: is the orchestration of rock music. It is it's I mean, 351 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: it's it's put together like classical music because they knew 352 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: what they were doing. They were truly musicians. 353 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,160 Speaker 8: And I feel like that's kind of when they were 354 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 8: more like country based and then they kind of went 355 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 8: more rock. 356 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: Well that was the Joe Walsh aspect. Right then you 357 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 2: get that going on, right, you have you see artists 358 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: doing this all the time. Madonna is the is the 359 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: best at this Ever, she reinvents herself, right. She becomes 360 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 2: the latina diva, uh, you know it, right with the 361 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 2: songs of La Bonita, and then she becomes the cowgirl, 362 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 2: and she was, you know, the dance club girl in Holiday, right, 363 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 2: And so she's constantly reinventing an image for the album itself. 364 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: The Eagles, right, they had they had kind of a 365 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 2: country blues sound, which made them a huge hit because 366 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 2: that's where albums are sold at that time. But then 367 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: they said, you know, we want to get a kind 368 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 2: of a bluesy thing going on here. Joe Walsh is 369 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 2: pretty good on the guitar, and you know it just 370 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 2: it took off and it's still taking off. I mean, 371 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: that's the point. That's the That's why I brought it 372 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 2: up tonight. I mean it's one thing to you know, 373 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: have a Record Hall of Fame forty year anniversary, but 374 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: for the Eagles' Greatest Hits to now move into first 375 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: place of all albums sold in the United States ever 376 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 2: and climbing, like the only thing that would be better 377 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,359 Speaker 2: is if Hotel California outpaced the greatest Hits and they 378 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 2: were in first and second place. But yeah, that's a 379 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,160 Speaker 2: that's a pretty darn good songwriting there. 380 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 7: Thu Penrose on in the evening so I can listen 381 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 7: to him. He is on one of my faves. But anyway, 382 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 7: I'm so glad that he's on. Yay for you guys 383 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 7: to put him on, keep him on, Thank you, Bye bye. 384 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, Hey, Lou, your show's not so bad. 385 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: Talk music more? 386 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: All right, all right, rock talk on AM six forty. 387 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 6: None of that stuff would fly with the feminists as 388 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 6: far as song lyrics and everything else. But I mean, 389 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 6: you're kind of not hitting the elephant in the room, 390 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,400 Speaker 6: which is like almost all of hip hop culture. I mean, 391 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 6: feminists seemed to be absent in any kind of press 392 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 6: on all hip hop culture. 393 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 2: It's just interesting, great show, Thank you. So the way 394 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 2: this works, I'll tell you what I've been told, and 395 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 2: you have to understand it. Every artist is reflecting their 396 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 2: point of view. So you don't ask the question, hey, 397 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 2: how come you're not allowed to, you know, talk smack 398 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 2: on women. And then this guy's got a song talking 399 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 2: smack on women, and it's okay, Like that's not the 400 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: way you look at it. You look at it as 401 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 2: how is the artist reflecting their point of view, and 402 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: it's just different in those songs. Now you could ask 403 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: why aren't they are Why aren't the artists criticized and 404 00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 2: condemned for referring to women like that? And that's fine, 405 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 2: but I am full freedom. I think artists ought to 406 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 2: express themselves. I mean, nobody thought Jim Morrison really wanted 407 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 2: to have sex with his mother. He was like as 408 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 2: an artist, bringing Oedipus into the song and it was 409 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 2: shocking and jarring, But like, you didn't think that Jim 410 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 2: Marson really wanted that. So it's the same thing. You 411 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: don't think some of these hip hop artists actually want 412 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: to smack women in their head. They're just reflecting culture 413 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: and that's really important. So no restrictions on lyrics. This 414 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 2: is the last place we have in American culture where 415 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: people are free to do what they want and look 416 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 2: at the results. You have squeaky clean music with no 417 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 2: bad words, you know, enjoyed by everybody. You have music 418 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: by women artists that talk about their own private parts 419 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:25,040 Speaker 2: and it's a big song, and you have guys talking 420 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 2: about women's body parts, and sometimes it's a hit songs, 421 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: sometimes it's time. So it's all about what is attractive 422 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: to the audience, and I don't think we should ever 423 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: get in their way, but I appreciate the call. 424 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,120 Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand. 425 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: We are midway between the holidays and Valentine's Day, and 426 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 2: a lot of women were disappointed that there are a 427 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: lot of single women were disappointed that there wasn't a 428 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 2: ring under the tree. But New Year's Eve is coming up, 429 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,679 Speaker 2: and maybe he's going to pop the question on New 430 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,359 Speaker 2: Year's Eve. And the only thing that got popped with 431 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: is champagne. So the only thing laughed really for these 432 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 2: single women who think this is it, this has got 433 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: to be it. I mean, it's been quite a number 434 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 2: of years now, and you know, my parents are asking 435 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 2: and my girlfriends are asking what's going on with us, 436 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: and it's starting to get embarrassing. So I really hope 437 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 2: that he is waiting for Valentine's Day. So we're halfway through, 438 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 2: and believe it or not, a number of women are 439 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 2: taking to social media and airing this out and everybody 440 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,280 Speaker 2: loves my rules. In fact, Tim Conway Junior was talking 441 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: about the rules that I explained to single women who 442 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 2: are homeowners now when did we do that? Foosh? When 443 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 2: did I give out those rules? I can't even remember. 444 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. Like everybody is sick 445 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 2: at KFI, so I've been filling in for everybody that's sick. 446 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 2: How is Andy doing? By the way, I worry about. 447 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 8: Him, I guess according to mister Mark Ronner, I guess 448 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 8: he kind of got you know, oh this was a 449 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 8: little sick. But yeah, I guess he just didn't. He 450 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 8: didn't have he didn't have time to recover, so it 451 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 8: kind of yeah. 452 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 2: No, I got it. Yeah, I mean, you know you 453 00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 2: have voice here. I mean if you don't have if 454 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 2: you can't speak, you can't speak, You're done. Yea sore throat. 455 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 2: I mean, you're out so happy to do it. I'm 456 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: a big fan of Andy, but I want him to 457 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 2: get better soon. Anyway, one of the nights that I 458 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: was sitting in for Andy or Chris, and we gave 459 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,200 Speaker 2: out the rules because so many women are buying homes 460 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 2: and you got to know what you're doing. You can't 461 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 2: just be buying a home. If you're a single woman, 462 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 2: you have exposure. So I gave out those rules. But 463 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 2: now there's also rules for women who are chagrin that 464 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 2: they did not get a ring and a date on Christmas. 465 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 2: They can get a ring and a date on New 466 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 2: Year's Eve, and now here's Valentine's Day. On the way 467 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: am I getting a ring and a date? So I 468 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,919 Speaker 2: have rules for that too, so i'll share those with you. 469 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: Coming up, Plus the White House, So Usha is having 470 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: the fourth child. She is Jade Vance's wife. They're having 471 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 2: a baby, and they're I don't want to say they're 472 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 2: using her. The White House has elected her to be 473 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: the spokesperson of their agenda that is pro family. They're 474 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,960 Speaker 2: starting a whole bunch of tax cuts and baby bonuses 475 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 2: and a lot of things to try and help stimulate 476 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: people to expand their family or start a family, which 477 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 2: sounds nice on its face, but I actually think that's 478 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: a bad idea. I don't think government should be in 479 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: that business for the same reason. I don't think government 480 00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,640 Speaker 2: should be telling you not to have children, like that's 481 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: what the Chinese do. So we'll talk about it. That's 482 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: all coming up. Following the news at eight o'clock, let's 483 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: see here, Oh, did you see that? This is a 484 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 2: big story. So California was ranked as having the best 485 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 2: cuisine nationwide. California was voted in this poll of having 486 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:05,360 Speaker 2: the best cuisine across the board, whether it's Mexican food, burgers, shrimp, tacos, salads. 487 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 2: The state of California was voted of all the fifty 488 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: states having the best overall cuisine. Here's Frank Buckley of KTLA. 489 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 2: He said, you know that's true because whenever I'm out 490 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 2: of the United States and out of California, all I 491 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: can think about is California food. 492 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 9: Carne out of burrito, Oh wow, the whole time. Yeah, 493 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 9: just Biden with beans and rice and the whole thing. 494 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's what Buckley likes. The carne is 495 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 2: out of burrito. And it's true when you think I didn't. 496 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 2: I had not thought about it until I saw this report, 497 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 2: and I thought, you know, when you think about it, 498 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: we do have the best cuisine of all the states 499 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 2: because we're such a huge state. The food in San 500 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 2: Francisco is magnificent, like unbelievable sourdough bread. People in Boston 501 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 2: talk about sourdough bread. They can't hold a candle to 502 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: the sourdough you get out of San Francisco. And the 503 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 2: Italian food in Sanfaga is amazing. I mean, there are 504 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 2: areas of the country that have a broader range of 505 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 2: international restaurants, but as far as quality goes the food. 506 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 2: You know, they're about to have restaurant Week in Pasadena, 507 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 2: or rather cheeseburger Week in Pasadena, or maybe they just 508 00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 2: wrapped it up. I mean, what they're doing to the 509 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 2: cheeseburger in Pasadena is off the charts. Then you get 510 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 2: into some of the international festivals, and certainly Mexican food 511 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,280 Speaker 2: is better nowhere else in the United States. And I 512 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: started thinking that through Roder, what do you think? I 513 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 2: think that that is an accurate statement that California, overall 514 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,479 Speaker 2: of the fifty States, has the best cuisine of all 515 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 2: the foods you can get here. It's the best of everything. 516 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I did a story on it a day or 517 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 3: two ago, and I was going to try and find 518 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: the audio and subject you to that. But I mean 519 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: it makes sense because there's forty million people here, You're 520 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,320 Speaker 3: going to have more and better food here than you wouldn't, say, 521 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 3: you know, Wyoming, right, right, or like even. 522 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: Like bigger like or big states bigger. What we think 523 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 2: about is think of is more international states, right or 524 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,600 Speaker 2: like Florida or New York. I mean, yeah, there's a 525 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: lot of restaurants in New York, but if you ever 526 00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 2: see Dave Ramsey go to any of these restaurants, you'll 527 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: never go into a restaurant in New York again. Uh yeah, 528 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 2: I mean the the Thai food in California spectacular. Oh yeah, 529 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: you go to a Thai restaurant in Arizona. Forget about 530 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 2: him as gross, Like the fa the Vietnamese food in 531 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 2: Westminster in Orange County, like spectacular Korean barbecue in southern California. 532 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 2: So good, best, that's the best. 533 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 3: Well, you're both making me hungry and there's nobody here 534 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 3: that can go get us anything to eat. Thanks, thanks 535 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 3: for nothing. 536 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 2: Well foosh. You know down in San Pedro there are 537 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: some Italian delis in San Pedro that are off you 538 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 2: go in there. I've gone way out of my way 539 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 2: just to go to these Italian delis. And Italian they're 540 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 2: not really really restaurants. I mean, they're almost like stores 541 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 2: with a deli counter in it. And you'll get yourself 542 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: an Italian sub And you'll never eat an Italian sub 543 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,840 Speaker 2: at subway ever again, Like you won't be able to. 544 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 2: It's so good. Like the problem, like you said, California 545 00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,480 Speaker 2: is so huge, you have to have a guide, like 546 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 2: you have to have somebody to tell you where to go. 547 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,200 Speaker 2: I keep talking about this German restaurant in Big Bear. 548 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: There's a German. It's not even a it's it's like 549 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: I said, it's a kind of a grocery store, tiny 550 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 2: little market with a deli counter in it and the 551 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 2: liver worst sandwich in there that I get. I mean, 552 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 2: you think about it for weeks after because it's just 553 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 2: so delicious. Liver worst, really liver worst so good they 554 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,239 Speaker 2: make it in house. I don't even know how you 555 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 2: start making liverworst in house and U and they have 556 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: other worst that I can't even pronounce. Like that's as 557 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 2: deep as I go into German cuisine. But I mean, 558 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 2: forget it. You're not going to go into the supermarket 559 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 2: and get yourself bores head after that it is so good. 560 00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, Lou what you're in Instagram feeds like, 561 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 3: but mine is half cats and half restaurant reviews of 562 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 3: places all around California, A little hole in the wall thing, 563 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 3: places in the back of convenience stores, old timey family restaurants, 564 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 3: and I'm constantly looking these places up after I see 565 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 3: these videos and adding them to my Yelp list of 566 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: places to go and try out. California's got a gazillion 567 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 3: places that you would just love to go eat. 568 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 2: Gazillion places and it's good, Like it's really spectacular. I 569 00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 2: get it that. If you go to Texas, I'm sure 570 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 2: there is brisket that's off the charts, but that's pretty 571 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: much it. Right. You go to Boston and you're gonna 572 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: get yourself some clam chowder, get it right, I without, 573 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 2: I mean no question about it. Get it in the 574 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 2: bread bowl, go for it. New York's got the pizza. 575 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: New York's got the bagels, like they all have their 576 00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: little thing. You want to get yourself a cheese steak 577 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 2: and Philly, California has everything. So I think that is 578 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 2: a fair statement. I think California you can add that 579 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,200 Speaker 2: to the things that make California great, and that is 580 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: we absolutely have the best cuisine of all fifty states, 581 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 2: and I don't think it's even close.
