1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: I guess tend Toby.

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: That's the definition of the old college try. They're twelve

3
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 2: and fourteen gin number.

4
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 3: Two, all Vikings, Let's win this game.

5
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 4: It's now time to take an in depth look at

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 4: the state of the school.

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: Aaron Shatz of ESPN dot dot com put together a

8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: list of one player from each team that could use

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: a change of scenery inlist Vikings. For the Vikings, he

10
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 3: listed JJ McCarthy. He said. He said this is likely

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 3: never going to happen because it would be ridiculous for

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 3: the Vikings swim load a player who still has first

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 3: round upside after ten starts. However, a fresh start for

14
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: McCarthy with a different organization might be the best thing

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: for his career. Yes, you want a young quarterback to

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 3: be with an offensive mind such as Minnesota coach Kevin

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: O'Connell for the purposes of his development. However, things went

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: so badly for the Vikings with McCarthy last season that

19
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: it might be best to get him out of the

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: shadow of Super Bowl winner Sam Darnold. Common should the

21
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 3: Vikings send JJ McCarthy away this offseason, Well, you.

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: Know, he kind of contradicts himself there a little bit

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,559
Speaker 2: by saying, you know, you've invested this time in enemy's

24
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: with a good offensive mine, but still you should do it.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: I mean I I I guess you could make that

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: argument that he tried to do. You know, gosh, it

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: seems like it's it's it's it's a never ending question.

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: We discussed it early off and late, and it's and

29
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: we're going to continue to.

30
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: Talk about it.

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: I I don't know what if you're the Vikings, every

32
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 2: team is trying to find a franchise quarterback and get

33
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: him on a rookie deal. Of course, his rookie deals

34
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: not really much of a rookie deal for much longer.

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: Is this is how many years has he been in

36
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: the league now? Is it three or two?

37
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah? Just two two? So you know, it's like it

38
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: seems like it's a little early to get up on them.

39
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 2: It man, if you don't win, and you know, you know,

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 2: his his poor play has been so bad. Even his

41
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 2: good play hasn't been spectacular. He had one great quarter

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 2: against the Bears. Even even when he's played well, it's

43
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 2: not like he's been just spectacular.

44
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: And you go, WHOA, But I don't you know, we've

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: told I don't know what you.

46
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 2: Do we I said it to you yesterday, and this

47
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: is something we've discussed before. I literally, of the thirty

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: two starting quarterbacks in pro football, there's ten or twelve

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 2: I like, and after that, it's like most of the

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 2: guys should probably just be backups or they're just they're

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: they're they're they're okay, but you know they're they're they're good,

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 2: but they're not great.

53
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: So I don't know, how do you replace them? Who

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: do you?

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 2: Who do you play instead? You know, I'm not excited

56
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 2: about the kirk Cousins of the world and some of

57
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: those other you know, the rivers is Is and the Flacohs.

58
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 2: I mean, those are just stop gap measures to me.

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: And you know too, coming off of the year we

60
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 2: lost back to back, we lost to the Lions and

61
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: we lost to the Rams and Darnald left.

62
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: If you're coming off a season like.

63
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: That when you were thirteen and four, you can I

64
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: think you can make the argument stop gaps.

65
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Okay. You know that's why you and I were not.

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 2: Just for the entertainment factor of Aaron Rodgers and his

67
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: news conferences and ayahuasca and his smarminess in his ego,

68
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: but it kind of felt like this team is built

69
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: to win now, and you want a guy that that's ready.

70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 2: I just don't know how many of those guys are

71
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: out there. The cousins Is of the world don't interest me,

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: so I think you almost you got to try to

73
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: find some veteran quarterback. You know, you and I disagreed yesterday.

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: I think Cousins wants to be guaranteed a starting job.

75
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: If he doesn't have a guarantee of starting job, it

76
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: still wants to play.

77
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: I guess I could be okay with him being here.

78
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: But the team seems like it needs so They seem

79
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 4: so far away from thirteen and four after what I

80
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: saw last year. You know, it just changes so quickly

81
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: that slide in and Aaron Rodgers or a Kirk Cousins.

82
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Do I think this team is ready to contend?

83
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: I'd say no, they need help at so many different positions.

84
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't know. I don't. And what could you

85
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: get from her? Do you just release him?

86
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody's going to trade for Is there

87
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 2: anybody out there that you're going to get a What

88
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: would you get for him on the trade market? I

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 2: don't think you could get much. Could you, well, what

90
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: would you get for him?

91
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: So low draft pick?

92
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I would know, I would. I would.

93
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 3: I would maybe someone out there would give you a

94
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: fourth round or for him.

95
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: I would. I think you bring them the plan that

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: everybody's reporting. The people that are.

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: That are insiders, you know with the vikings and follow

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: football for a living, seem to suggest they're going to

99
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: keep McCarthy. But they are going to go out and

100
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: get a Kirk Cousins type of guy that can push

101
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: McCarthy for the starting job. And if the veteran beats

102
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: him out, then he's got to wait again. And maybe

103
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: maybe some pushing from somebody now, so you're not just given.

104
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: The starting job. Maybe it gets more out of McCarthy.

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 2: Maybe during this offseason and oda's and mini camps and

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: training camp, he starts to get the mechanics down better

107
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: and he gets to become a better player.

108
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't completely give up on him.

109
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Bad loss for team Pat Peterson, by the way, the

110
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 3: hammer and gave up two in the final end. What

111
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 3: phenomenal throw by the great Britain. I mean the throw

112
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: she made at the end was unbelievable. Oh no, but yeah,

113
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 3: are we just lost and are we done. I'm not

114
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: sure where they are in pool play, and I know

115
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 3: they were five and two at one point. Oh, they'll

116
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 3: have to look at the standings.

117
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: What happened? I wasn't watching.

118
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 3: If they show the Great Britain throw again? It was

119
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 3: high level?

120
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: No?

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, bad loss? Oh no, they're up seven to four.

122
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 3: What going in the ninth? Then here it is, Oh,

123
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: this is to the US throw that oh wanted to

124
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 3: bump their own to break that up?

125
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: Do we distance ourselves not from Tcson? What do you think?

126
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if it's over you No, they're Olympians,

127
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: they're so great.

128
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 1: All right, Well you know me, I'm a front runner.

129
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: Right yeah, that's too bad? Yeah wow? Well yeah, question

130
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: number three over or under?

131
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 3: I forgot to mention earlier by when were talking go

132
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,039
Speaker 3: for men's basketball to go for women are on the

133
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: fan tonight. You can listen to that game. That's a

134
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: seven o'clock start. They're playing number ten Ohio State. We're

135
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 3: number twenty three. We're ranked twenty three. They're ring ten,

136
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 3: so big one tonight.

137
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: And we have I think our next game after that

138
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: is a big ten ranked team. So we got we

139
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: got two really and you know what, tanneby.

140
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: Work Us is still a fourth here for the women,

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: but obviously that would have been a big win for

142
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 3: them if they go pull that one.

143
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, we're still a round robin. Okay, everything's cool. Yea. Yeah,

144
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: it's a team that I talked to JG briefly about.

145
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: We didn't break it down position by position, but he

146
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: says they're they're playing really good basketball. They're a really

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: good team. So yeah, I like it. Well, what was

148
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: your question about him? I'm sorry, I wasn't going to

149
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: ask about them. I just forgot to mention that earlier,

150
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: so I just I'm sure I was going to ask you.

151
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: Or under? The win total in Las Vegas for your

152
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: Minnesota Twins this season is seventy three and a half

153
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 3: common seventy three and a half wins for the Minnesota Twins.

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 3: Would you take the over.

155
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: Or under? And do you come from a Lendown under? Dude?

156
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: I take the under, Tom.

157
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: Polead He's going to learn in a real hurry that

158
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: anything you say gets magnified.

159
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: You know, first was oh, can we stop talking about payroll?

160
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: And then he got ripped for that, so then he

161
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: said he knew he then he came back the other

162
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: day and said, I don't pay roll is important to

163
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,239
Speaker 2: the Yeah, of course it's important to the to the fans,

164
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: he didn't realize that. And then he came out with

165
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 2: the uh, well, we we made a run at Frambler,

166
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 2: and I don't think anybody believes that. Is it Frambler?

167
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: Is that the kid's name? Who is he got the picture?

168
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 3: Then?

169
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again I maybe we did. My guess is

170
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: we lowballed him. We didn't offerm a competitive offer. And

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: then he uh, he was just he was beside himself

172
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: when he heard what that the the over under number

173
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: was seventy three. He couldn't believe it. He said, well,

174
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: that's just he basically said, it's preposterous.

175
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: Just because you want.

176
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: To compete, and just because your your manager and your

177
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: general manager and other people tell you got a really

178
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: great farm system and things can change in a hurry,

179
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: doesn't mean it's going to happen that way.

180
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: I know, I call it wishful thinking. I don't think.

181
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: I especially now with Lopez looks like out for the year.

182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: I mean tend Toby Moon in the seventh house, Jupiter

183
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: lines with Mars.

184
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: If all of a.

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 2: Suddens brilliant over comes back. And these young pitchers that

186
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: Sue Anne was su had a list of pitchers like

187
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: ten of them that are supposedly really good young pitchers.

188
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: If two of those guys with very little, if any,

189
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: big league experience can burst onto the scene, okay, then

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: you probably will win over seventy three games. But I

191
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 2: just don't buy it. I don't And I'm a baseball

192
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: guy first and foremost were ball guys.

193
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: I helped coach little league championships.

194
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 2: You played on a state championship, AAU baseball team. We

195
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 2: understand the game. But I find it hard to believe

196
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: that they can win over seventy three games.

197
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 3: Unless seventy three is not a lot. Though a lot

198
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 3: of bad Major League baseball teams, I can get the

199
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: seventy three.

200
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: I know, but we're really bad. I think there's just

201
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 4: nothing there.

202
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: Lost of Lopez. It's not great for that. But I

203
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: think the Tom Pola needs to understand because he's trying

204
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 3: to do a lot of talking. The fan base has

205
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: gotten past the point of we don't want to hear

206
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: you talk anymore. We want actions, not words. Yes, until

207
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 3: you give actions, no one's gonna care about any of

208
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: the words you say, whether it's positive, negative, good, payroll,

209
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: bad print, no one's no one's gonna listen to it,

210
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: even if you are pure in your intentions.

211
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: When you're right, you're right.

212
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 3: They want the actions.

213
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: And I don't know who've ever been wrong. And that's

214
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: it for today's edition of five questions, Well, actually three questions,

215
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: but five sounds like more than Have you been in

Speaker 1: For Rock Talk.

234
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: You got a podcast? I'm told I do, in fact

235
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 4: have a podcast. Hi common Hitana. Yeah, it's called The

236
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 4: Brian Oak Show. It's pretty inventive name. But when I

237
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 4: left radio, I decided that people should be able to

238
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 4: find it, and they have and for more than six

239
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 4: years now, I've been doing it. Just recorded episode five

240
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty four this morning, highlighting the upcoming festivities

241
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 4: of the Minnesota Bluegrass Association, talking about washboards and jug bands,

242
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 4: and it was pretty cool. And as you know, we

243
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 4: have been nominated for the Minneapolis Saint Paul Magazine Best

244
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 4: Podcast in the Twin Cities Award, and although nothing will

245
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:55,040

246
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: good things for the.

247
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,839
Speaker 1: Brian Oaks Show. That's all I can say. Were you

248
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: way green?

249
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: Just wait if I happened to win something, just to

250
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 4: wait tennant.

251
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: Well, and here's the thing. I think they will enjoy it.

252
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: But you don't have to like the podcast, but you

253
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 2: have to respect.

254
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: You well, you know.

255
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not like I'm bringing thirty years of

256
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 4: radio experience and artist experience and interviewing experience to bear,

257
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: but I am so yeah, you don't have to enjoy it,

258
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: but I would appreciate it if you occasionally listened.

259
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: To Were You a Green Grass and High Tides Forever guy? Yeah?

260
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: The song?

261
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely? Outlaws?

262
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,839
Speaker 4: Oh yeah? Were you more of a Marshall Tucker guy

263
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 4: or Outlaws guy? I like Marshall Tucker b plus because

264
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 4: I just think they had they had, they had more hits.

265
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 4: I think, well, I think they were a better band too,

266
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 4: But again that's not entirely fair of me because I

267
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 4: don't go super deep on the Outlaws, not that version

268
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 4: of the Outlaws. There was another collective that called themselves

269
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 4: the Outlaws. That was Waylon Jennings and Jesse Colter and

270
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 4: Willie Nelson. But those Outlaws, I think they're great and

271
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 4: that song is fantastic, but I probably don't go very

272
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: deep on that band. So yeah, I would definitely go

273
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: Marshall Tucker band. Can't see Yeah, that's so good. Oh

274
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 4: it's the greatest heartbreak, pull your heart out. It's all over,

275
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: Everything's ruined forever and I'll never be okay again.

276
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: Song.

277
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: When was the last time we talked? Was it pre

278
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl?

279
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: Because I wanted to get two weeks ago okay, because

280
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to get your review on Kid Rock and

281
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: those Cowboys singers. They had their show and then and

282
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 2: then I got to admit bad break for me. I

283
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: missed the Ricky No, not Ricky Martin. What was this

284
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 2: bad Bunny Bunny, Blue Bunny, bad bad Bunny.

285
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: I missed him.

286
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: My boy called from the Ohio State during halftime.

287
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: We were eating dinner, so I missed it.

288
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: I've missed now I think twenty four or twenty five

289
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 2: consecutive halftime.

290
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 4: So the last time you were watching the halftime show,

291
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 4: Up with People was still doing it erect Either that

292
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 4: or who are the Ymcapple after Village People last time? Yeah,

293
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 4: very very different group the Village People from Up with People.

294
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 4: The halftime show was spectacular, the bad Bunny one I'm

295
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: talking about here, all those great I mean, rickyr was

296
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,560
Speaker 4: there and that was fantastic. There were there were a

297
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 4: lot of really incredible moments. And what I liked was

298
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: the message of unity at the very end when he

299
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 4: ran down and listed off from south to north every

300
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 4: single country in the Americas, in South and North America

301
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 4: as a show of unity of solidarity. There were all

302
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: one people and what what had already been a I mean,

303
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 4: the dancing and the fun and the explosions and all

304
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 4: of it, the waving grass people it was. It was

305
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 4: a very very cool halftime performance, the greatest of all time,

306
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: but certainly not worthy of all the nonsense people were

307
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: talking about.

308
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: You want to talk about nonsense? Yeah, I'm just not

309
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: into explosion. Guess the explosions.

310
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 4: Weren't the highlight. The celebration of life. Dancing and singing

311
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: is what rock and roll is, my good man. No, yeah,

312
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 4: you're going to tell me right now?

313
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: Is in the musical. That's where I want to say.

314
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: If if I want to watch a dance troupe, I

315
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: watch a dance troupe, you.

316
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: Know in high I want to watch it. I was

317
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 4: in Oklahoma, and I can tell you right now I

318
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 4: learned how to scoot my boots pretty well. For that

319
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 4: particular production. I was pawcorns. So I had a song

320
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: the farmer and the cowman should be friends. You're welcome

321
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 4: the farmer, and oh, the farmer and the cowman should

322
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 4: be friends.

323
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: See, you don't even know Oklahoma man? You know who

324
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: you sound like? Robert Gulay?

325
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: No, well that, but no, the guy from Oakridge Boys,

326
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: the really deep boys.

327
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: Oh you should be.

328
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: In like the low voice and like a barbershop quartet does,

329
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: like the base.

330
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 4: In high school I was in a select coral ensemble

331
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: as a baritone.

332
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: We were called Vision. You're welcome.

333
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 4: We wore cumber bunchs and saying it old folks homes.

334
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: At old folks homes. Yeah, guys, old folks home need

335
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Oh that's a that's a whole thing.

336
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 4: There are people who make their livings entertaining people at

337
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 4: retirement communities and assisted care facilities, and we just went

338
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 4: in there to bring them the joy of our teenage

339
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 4: shining faces and our music.

340
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: Oh ten to be. Go to a song, see if

341
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 2: it's in our system. It's called dream On by the

342
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: Oakridge Boys.

343
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 3: Dream On not by Aerosmith.

344
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 2: No, not the Aerosmith. This is this is better? Well

345
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 2: it's it's it's cheesy love song.

346
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Okay, who doesn't love a cheesy love song? Just is

347
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: it in the system?

348
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 3: I haven't even got some point reckon. It takes a

349
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 3: while to load itself up because.

350
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 4: I want I want you a deep voice, guy. I

351
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 4: don't remember the Oakridge Boys had one. Statler Brothers had

352
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: one too, though, you know the.

353
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 3: Count and Flowers as an Oakridge Boys version in the system.

354
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's just sad. That is sad.

355
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 4: On the other end of the spectrum, though, on the

356
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 4: Aerosmith version of Dream on those dizzy high notes during

357
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 4: the crescendo, pretty amazing.

358
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, they certainly were.

359
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: Huh, what can you tell me about hold On? I

360
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: tend to be searches for that song. I just want

361
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: to his voice is it's it's almost too low, it's creepy.

362
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: Well wait, I'm sitting right here. No, but I mean no,

363
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm one of guys singing like in this. I love that. Yeah,

364
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: it's really good. This is actually a really good song.

365
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: I played it all the time it was at radio station.

366
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: This was a hit. So you play the hits right

367
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: home of the hits. Now listen how deep this voice is?

368
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, get cold, Oh be cute, trouble fall from.

369
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:36,719
Speaker 1: Whaous I've never heard before? And then everybody comes in.

370
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: It comes in a goodtle violin. Right.

371
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 4: This sounds almost like the cow Sills or the Poppy

372
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: Family or something right here.

373
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: Oh, I have heard this song. Yeah, really good. I

374
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: just I guess I didn't realize that deep. That's as

375
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: deep as I go on the oak well.

376
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 4: And then you know, I'll be honest, though, that was

377
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 4: a nice deep baritone right there. But if we're going

378
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 4: to talk all time, great, if we're going to talk

379
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: the goat of the deep voice singing, it's got to

380
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 4: be Barry White. I mean, Arry White is just you know,

381
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:06,400
Speaker 4: there's a lot of great deep voices out there over

382
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 4: the years. But oh man, you want to talk about

383
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 4: love news. Do you want to talk about some special

384
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 4: time alone with your special someone that's Verry White time.

385
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: I can't argue with that.

386
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 4: I saw a story I'm so out of you know,

387
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: if it was a recorded after nineteen seventy one, of

388
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 4: course that was nineteen seventy nine.

389
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: Oh rich boys. So I guess I'm kind of a

390
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: I get.

391
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: Asked all the time about what it's like to hang

392
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 4: out with common because you guys seem to enjoy talking

393
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 4: about music, and.

394
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm like, we do.

395
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 4: We both love a lot of the same music, but

396
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 4: we also teach each other about things the other one

397
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 4: didn't know. But I do describe you as the guy

398
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 4: whose music tastes sort of stopped evolving around nineteen eighty

399
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,880
Speaker 4: one eighty two. Is that fair eighty seven, eighty seven,

400
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 4: eighty eight, Okay, in the eighties.

401
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: Though, I guess this is a big story because on

402
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: the music news of the day this was the headline

403
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: shine Down. Are you familiar with the band named Shendavi?

404
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely an extensive twenty twenty six world tour and a

405
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 2: new album.

406
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: What can you tell me about shine?

407
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 4: All I can tell you is that they are one

408
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 4: of the biggest popular rock acts and have been for

409
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 4: a very long time. Shine Down occupies that sort of

410
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 4: it's not even really new metal, it's just hard rock

411
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 4: modern era. You know, there's other stations in town. I

412
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: know that it's somewhat of a boating to even acknowledge

413
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: that they exist, but they do, and the rock station

414
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 4: in town ninety three x. They would absolutely be a

415
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: core artist over there. I also know, though, if I'm

416
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 4: not mistaken, Shine Down ended up pulling out of that

417
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: big festival down in the South that was Kid Rocks Festival,

418
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 4: and as a result that kind of like pulled out

419
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 4: the pin that deflated the whole thing. Okay, but what

420
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 4: what's up with Shine?

421
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 6: No?

422
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 4: Just I said that when they anounced a twenty twenty

423
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 4: six world tour.

424
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the album, and it's very huge.

425
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 4: I mean again, I couldn't name a song with a

426
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 4: gun to my head. That's not really in my wheelhouse.

427
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 4: But I've been hearing their name for at least twenty

428
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 4: plus years, and yeah, they're absolutely a staple.

429
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: But again, it's nothing that I get excited about it.

430
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to put you on the spot there. Okay,

431
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: let's do this. I got several other topics I want

432
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: to get and do you Abaheim, I got a couple

433

Speaker 1: as well, and two of them Olympics related. Yeah, and

434
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: there was there You Are, the Grum Reaper, the Angel

435
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: of Death, the Angel of Death. There was a significant

436
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 1: death of a bass player that I'm sure you're familiar with. Okay,

437
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: if you caught that one, we'll take a look at that.

00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 2: tendebe Bryan Oak Little Rock Talk here in the fans,

449
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 2: So I mentioned Fred Smith bass player.

450
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,640
Speaker 4: So fred Smith was an important part of the in

451
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 4: the mid seventies really with its very beginning in the

452
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: earliest parts of the seventies with bands like New York Dolls.

453
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,439
Speaker 4: The seventies was a very, very crucial time in the

454
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 4: development of Western music, and one of the crucibles was

455
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 4: New York City, the art rock that we think of

456
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 4: coming out of that place at the time, with bands

457
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: like the Talking Heads, like the Ramones, like Blondie in particular,

458
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 4: bands like Television that aren't as big as named because

459
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: they never really had a giant crossover hit, but among

460
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 4: music Heads are deeply, deeply respected and their landmark Marquee

461
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 4: Moon album is considered one of the all time sort

462
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 4: of formational post punk greats in American music history. And

463
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 4: so fred Smith was originally in the very very beginnings

464
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 4: of a band called Angel and the Snake. They would

465
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 4: change their name to Blondie and the Bonzai Babies, and

466
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 4: then simply Blondie. But he quit in nineteen seventy five

467
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 4: because it was time to go and his favorite band

468
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 4: actually had an opening on bass and he wanted to

469
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: go play with them instead. Blondie hadn't had a hit yet,

470
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 4: Blondie hadn't blown up. They were just another one of

471
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 4: these bands struggling in the New York City scene, trying

472
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 4: to make a name for themselves. Although they were obviously great,

473
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 4: they were still considered outside of that scene, nothing special.

474
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 4: Right then, of course that would change. They would blow

475
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 4: up multiple top ten hits. They did very, very well,

476
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 4: whereas Television wouldn't go onto those dizzying heights, but remains

477
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: critically respected deeply to this day. And so he went

478
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 4: over to be with the band Television because the band

479
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 4: Television had lost their guy, Richard Hell, who would go

480
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: on to form The Heartbreakers with Johnny Thunders and you

481
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 4: know all that weird connective tissue in the background. But

482
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 4: this was a super fertile time in the New York scene.

483
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 4: So to get into one of these bands, you had

484
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 4: to be good, you had to be known, you had

485
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 4: to be a name, And that's really how we are

486
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 4: still talking about him today was his time in the

487
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: band Television.

488
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with Blondie.

489
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 2: I'd heard the band Television, but I'd never listened to

490
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: a song of theirs.

491
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: And he says he does not regret leaving. It's one

492
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: of those you know, as far.

493
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 2: As if you're talking about success, as far as may

494
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 2: and money and gets and all that, he did make

495
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 2: the right choice because Blondie obviously distance Television by a lot.

496
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: But he liked the music they played, and apparently he

497
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 2: fit in with the guitars. Is Tom Verlaine, Tom Ralane? Yeah, yeah,

498
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: and he fit in brilliantly. And I did listen to

499
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 2: a song from that. Was it called Marquee Moon.

500
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 4: Marquee Moon is It's considered an absolute landmark in American music.

501
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 4: So if people haven't checked it out, is that what? I? Yes, exactly, Marky.

502
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 4: It's a long song.

503
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:29,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. I didn't get through all of it. I got

504
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: to well, you know what, I'm gonna be honest.

505
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 4: As much as they're well revered to talk about a

506
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: perfect example, if you don't have to love it, but

507
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 4: you have to respect it, I'm very much in that

508
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: camp when it comes to the band television. No disrespect

509
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 4: at all. It's just it doesn't hit that big red

510
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 4: button in the middle of my brain.

511
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: You know, I got you.

512
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, so now you had some mom. I got a

513
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: couple of little tidbits for you here, nothing too juicy.

514
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 4: But I do have the fact that the Olympics, right,

515
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 4: the greatest sporting get together of humanity across the world.

516
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 4: The Olympics are cool, and everybody's into it, and everybody

517
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 4: takes part. And it's a chance once every four years

518
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 4: for the winter stuff, obviously different, alternating four years for

519
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 4: the summer stuff, to show that we all still are

520
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 4: striving for the same things. That no matter where you're from,

521
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 4: what you look like, we're all human beings and we

522
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,479
Speaker 4: all want to compete. We all want to win, man,

523
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 4: But there's a camaraderie, there's a spirit there, and people

524
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: get really caught in up up in it. You know

525
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 4: that people start to absorb nationalism, you know, USA number one,

526
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: USA number one. But there's this sense of healthy competition,

527
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: right like in the NFL among the sporting teams, right,

528
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: nobody actually hates anybody else, no one actually wants to

529
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 4: hurt anybody else, but they want to win and they'll

530
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 4: do it at any costs. Well, everybody gets in on

531
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 4: the Olympics, and so when celebrities come in, like Taylor

532
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 4: Swift herself. The Taylor Swift came in and dropped a

533
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: congratulations on one of the Olympic skiers who announced her

534
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 4: engagement and you know, apparently just absolutely melted down and enjoy.

535
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 4: That is what I'm talking about there. And there was

536
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 4: another one that I I'm trying to find right here.

537
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 4: I think got it here somewhere. Oh Amber Glenn, who

538
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 4: we were counting on so much, so many of American

539
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 4: Olympic hopeful's dreams were pinned on her short program. She

540
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 4: had been warming up and she had been performing to

541
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 4: a Madonna song, and Madonna herself reached out the night

542
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 4: before and said so strong, so beautiful, so brave in

543
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 4: a video clip. Amber was losing her mind. She was

544
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 4: crying her eyes out. Unfortunately, the next day, Amber had

545
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 4: some pretty rough spots in her short competition and ended

546
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 4: up thirteenth on the total, so out of the medals,

547
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 4: but got a go get them kid from Madonna, arguably

548
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 4: one of the biggest names in the last fifty years

549
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 4: in American music.

550
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: I think I've stumbled across something that's.

551
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: Been happening lately that I've not a defensive back for

552
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. Back when I was a kid, a

553
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 2: guy named Lem Barney, terrific player, Hall of fame. So

554
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 2: about six eight weeks ago, a story came out that

555
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 2: Lem Barney had died, you know the you know, socials

556
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 2: filling and all of a sudden was announcement, No, Lem's

557
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 2: still alive.

558
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Right, that's happening a lot now.

559
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and how about this, So I'm going I

560
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: always before you come on, I always music news today

561
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: and the last item says deaths and tributes. Industry tributes

562
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: are pouring in for the late Cindy Lapper, reports American songwriter.

563
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: I'm like, lot's news to me. So I I google

564
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 2: her name and Wikipedia page car it says she's still

565
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: alive and I don't know, but so, but why does

566
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: it say that here?

567
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: Now?

568
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 2: I know that you can make mistakes, but I think

569
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: this is another in the case of where somebody you

570
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: can send anything out on a tweet, right of course,

571
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: and just send whatever you want and then people will

572
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 2: jump on it and then there's a repeating that's what

573
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: they did with and it's not just the lembarney.

574
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: When that's the one that stuck out to me. I've

575
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: been told by this oh that that happens.

576
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 2: Frequently when people will do that, that must be what's

577
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 2: happening here. Because I think she's still alive, and now

578
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,919
Speaker 2: I know she's in her seventies. I think, so it

579
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 2: could happen with someday, but well will someday.

580
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: But I just well, I don't see it anywhere else.

581
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: A couple of things.

582
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 4: Either one, you know that person actually has intel that

583
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: has not reached the rest of the world yet and

584
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: broke a confidence or got there first. That is always

585
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 4: a possibility, But much more likely is that someone heard

586
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,879
Speaker 4: something and in I think where we see a lot

587
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 4: of inaccuracies these days because everything's so immediate, because the

588
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: news cycle is so tight, people race to get their first.

589
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 4: They want to be the breaking news, they want to

590
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 4: be the retweet, they want to be the headline, and

591
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,959
Speaker 4: sometimes a lot of fact checking is overlooked in an

592
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: effort to get to the sensational part of it. That

593
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: would be my guess right there, But you know, and

594
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 4: who knows, might be real. But I haven't heard a thing.

595
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 4: But if it is. I promise you we're going to

596
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: do a much longer grum reaper segment on that.

597
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 2: This one before we get to rock. Rank says, I

598
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,919
Speaker 2: thought Blondie only had called me for hit song. What

599
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: are some of the other big hits? Oh that we're

600
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 2: playing rap?

601
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 4: The tide is high rapture one way or another. Heart

602
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 4: of Glass was a top ten media number one hit.

603
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: That was number one they and I'm trying to think,

604
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 4: and then there's a bunch of other sort of mid

605
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 4: level ones that I wouldn't call radio hits. But no,

606
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 4: Blondie was a significant force in popular music from the

607
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: late seventies into the early and some people don't harlel

608
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: Lines is in my top ten albums of all time.

609
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 2: Debbie Harry was the lead singer, and a lot of

610
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,719
Speaker 2: people thought it was called Blonde because she was had

611
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 2: blonde hair. Right, No, she's not blonde. She's a part

612
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:23,640
Speaker 2: of a band called Blinde Exactly.

613
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 4: I much like the comic strip Blondie, right like where

614
00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 4: Blondie is absolutely a character in it, but Dagwood Bumpstead

615
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 4: is the main character in that, and Blondie just happens

616
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: to be where they get the.

617
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: Name Yeah, should we go ahead? Tennabe, You're ready for it.

618
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: Here we go.

619
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 4: Rock crack, rock, rock, rock, rock, Rock, rock, rock, rock Rock.

620
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: Now Today's rock Rank. Obviously, last week we couldn't have

621
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: Brian Okain because we had the preposterous Save and Tournament

622
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 3: selections show that was big. And last week was Valentine's Week,

623
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: Valentine's Day week, and I wanted to have a Valentine's

624
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: Day theme rock rank. So today and this could be

625
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 3: a long lest Hero your top five favorite love.

626
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 4: Songs of all time? Yeah, baby, Well I've got them

627
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 4: and I'm ready to go. And of all the criteria.

628
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 4: By the way, I just looked up Cindi Lauper on

629
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 4: American Songwriter. She's mourning the death of a legendary Hall

630
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 4: of Fame songwriter that came out in a tweet just

631
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 4: a few hours ago.

632
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: So just to be.

633
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 4: Clear, she still wants to have fun. She's still out

634
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 4: there very much making it happen. She was paying tribute

635
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 4: and mourning the death of someone else love songs.

636
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: She's just showing her true colors. Well done, Tanna, time

637
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 3: after time, brilliant, Yeah more, I don't I can't go

638
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 3: past three. Cindy Lapersons.

639
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, well, but that's deeper than most I

640
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 4: would guess, so well done. There's probably not been a

641
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 4: subject that has been written about or extolled upon, both

642
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,719
Speaker 4: positive and negative then love in the history of music.

643
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 4: So boiling it down to my five favorite love songs

644
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 4: is impossible. But when it time to come, I just

645
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 4: picked five that are absolutely bulletproof. Well technically six, but

646
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 4: five sounds like more than three, and I wanted to

647
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 4: but I've got a list of honorable mentions that's two

648
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 4: page long, and so it's hard to imagine that I've

649
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 4: put together a list that doesn't include the carpenters close

650
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 4: to you, Modern English has Melt with You, Dusty Springfield,

651
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 4: The Look of Love, Whitney Houston, Dolly Partons, I Will

652
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: Always Love You is not in my top five. Wow,

653
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 4: it's rich out there. This is a thick thick in

654
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 4: the field. But they're all great. I mean, they all

655
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 4: were in consideration. So coming in at number I know

656
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 4: I post only do five, but number six this had

657
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,479
Speaker 4: to be on the list, but there wasn't room four

658
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: it on the list, So I am bending the rules

659
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: and giving you six, number six. Joni Mitchell famed Canadian

660
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: singer songwriter with her song A Case of You. It

661
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 4: is so heartfelt, it is so touching. None other than

662
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 4: his Royal Purple Majesty Prince himself does a legendary solo

663
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 4: cover of him at a piano of doing this song,

664
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 4: Joni Mitchell. A Case of You is definitely number six

665
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: at my on my list, Number five is a more

666
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 4: modern era band Tenny. You're gonna know who this is common.

667
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: I'm not certain you will. But Ben Gibbard of the

668
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 4: band Deathcap for Cutie, who has gotten very popular over

669
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 4: the years from very humble indie beginnings, had a side

670
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 4: project called The Postal Service, and The Postal Service has

671
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: a song called Such Great Heights. I wish we could

672
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 4: play that all these songs on here to give people

673
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 4: a taste, but it is of the modern era. One

674
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 4: of the most touching and sincere and heartfelt missives to

675
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 4: love and the specifically love to one other person that

676
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 4: I've ever heard.

677
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: It sticks with me.

678
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 4: And anytime I think of, like in a mixtape mode,

679
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: like this would go great with this theme or this

680
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: song or this mixtape, that song always is on there.

681
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 4: The Postal Service, Such Great Heights at number five, Number four.

682
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to think of my list, I mean, cause

683
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: mine's going to be quite a bit different than yours.

684
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 2: Coming in Number five for me would be Archie Sugar.

685
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 2: Sugar also a fantastic choice. That's the thing is there

686
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 2: are so many songs on What about England? Dan and

687
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: john Ford Coli'S I'd really love to see you tonight.

688
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: That's not really love. Well it's oh, it's not too smalty,

689
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 2: it's just not really about love. It's more about hooking up.

690
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: Number four and again from the more modern era, and

691
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 4: I think Tenny, you might back me up on this one.

692
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 4: Beyonce and jay Z with crazy in Love. Ah yeah,

693
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 4: I'm not a fan of that song.

694
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: How can you not be a fan of that song?

695
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

696
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 3: Okay, well, we'll talk about that later, and we will

697
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 3: talk about that.

698
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 1: How about Van Morrison? Have I told you lately that

699
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: I love you?

700
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: Beautiful? There's nothing yeah, exactly in touching. That's that kind

701
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 4: of slow dance, wonderful tonight, kind of vibe your throne

702
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 4: out and I get it, and you know, and some

703
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: of these were definitely heading in that direction. Number three

704
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 4: for me, they have so many good ones to choose from.

705
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 4: But their song their music embodies rock and roll, but

706
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 4: in bodies beauty embodies complex harmonies and real emotion and haft,

707
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: which is why they are also one of the most

708
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 4: important American bands that ever lived. The Beach Boys with

709
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 4: God only knows, God only knows what I'd do without you.

710
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: It is when you get down to the essence of

711
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 4: what love is tempers.

712
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: We'll call it the best song of all time.

713
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I mean God only knows is

714
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: it's up there?

715
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 4: And as love songs go, I am certain that it's

716
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 4: been used in hundreds under It's hundreds of weddings over

717
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: the years, if not thousands. It's just it's a really,

718
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: really better harmonies than that song.

719
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: Exactly agree. How about Partridge Family, I Think I Love You.

720
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 4: It's on my honorable mentions. It is, in fact, the

721
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: Partridge Family is right next to Herb Albert. This guy's

722
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 4: in love with you, Captain and taneil Leve will keep

723
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 4: us together. Edit James at last, But back to the

724
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 4: list at hand. No, no, no, that's okay, all Man three, Yeah,

725
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: we are at No. Number three was the Beach Boys

726
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 4: God only Knows? Number two this one. I think we're

727
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 4: going to see very eye to eye on again. A

728
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 4: band that has dozens of songs that would qualify for

729
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 4: this list, but I had to pick one, and I

730
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 4: picked the George Harrison composition Something by The Beatles. The

731
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 4: Beatles Something is when I think about what love means

732
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 4: to me, how love makes me feel both calm and

733
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,800
Speaker 4: exhilarated at the same time, and it hits you somewhere

734
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 4: that nothing else hits you like that. That's the song

735
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 4: that the Beatles, the Beatles did that makes me feel

736
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 4: that way more than any other.

737
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 2: Frank Sinatra called it the greatest love song of all time?

738
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: Something? Yeah? Did he really? I like it? But I don't.

739
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: I don't speaking of love. I don't love it, but

740
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: I like it very much. But I understand it.

741
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't understand why I under I get

742
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 2: all that well.

743
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 4: And so just a few more honorable mentions before we

744
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 4: get to my number one. How do you feel about

745
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 4: the Rolling Stones Wild Horses?

746
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. Elton John's your song that is in

747
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 1: my top five.

748
00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 3: That's what I was, I said, common one of my

749

Speaker 4: I don't have a song anyway, walking into a Sacco

756
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 4: and Vanzetti bit back there.

757
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: So your song is a top five.

758
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 4: That is yeah, okay, so Edda James at Last, the Birds,

759
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 4: John Riley, and then there's the kind of fun, dancier

760
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 4: end of the love songs like Donna Summers, I Feel Love,

761
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 4: Ohio Players Love roller Coaster Again, there are exactly that

762
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:24,319
Speaker 4: the Red Hot Chili probably song.

763
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: It's called Love roller Coaster. Yes, it's a love song.

764
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 4: It's not a smallty romantic, it's not a slow down

765
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 4: to the way we took a sap ballads. Okay, that's

766
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,400
Speaker 4: what I went with, And I'm gonna give you my

767
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 4: very favorite love ballad of all time at number.

768
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: One, number one, number one one.

769
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: Wow, it was.

770
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 4: It's hard for me to believe when I hear this

771
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 4: song that the music was all written, mastered, mixed and

772
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 4: finished before lyrics were even considered. Because for all three

773
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 4: of the albums he recorded in Berlin in the late seventies,

774
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 4: Bowie did all the music for Had Everyone Come in,

775
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 4: laid down all the music and didn't come up with

776
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 4: the lyrics in some cases until weeks after the song

777
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 4: was finished, which to me was mind boggling, especially when

778
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 4: you consider the poignancy, the emotional haft, how it reflected

779
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 4: his life at that time, the sort of timeless nature

780
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 4: of love against all odds, and how often it pops up.

781
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 4: David Bowie's Heroes is my number one love song of

782
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 4: all time. Years later, covered for some big movie Godzilla

783
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 4: or something covered by the Wallflowers, but David Bowie's Heroes

784
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 4: is I've never heard a song that exemplifies both the

785
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 4: bitter and the sweet elements of love better than that.

786
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: Mabe, you have a number one love song of all

787
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: time for me? Yeah?

788
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 2: For you.

789
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 3: I'm going to Make You Love Me by the Jayhawks.

790
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 1: Oh great? Mine would be Sam Cook's Cupid. Also excellent.

791
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: You heard it that's wrong with Cuban.

792
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 6: Let's talk about I can't help falling in love Cupid.

793
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 6: Draw back your bowl and let my arrow flow to

794
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 6: my lover's home. It's so it's simple, happy.

795
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 4: It sounds like a it sounds like a Valentine's Day

796
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 4: cards from homework.

797
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: It is so rare.

798
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 3: I felt like every song. Before in nineteen seventy was

799
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: all just simple love songs. Oh yeah, but like the

800
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 3: caravels Tonight you belonged to Me. Oh man, it's simple.

801
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: But some of them are so haunting and so poignant.

802
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 3: And if you again, context is crucial for those songs.

803
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,919
Speaker 3: If you go back before the era of media saturation, Yeah,

804
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 3: you had a TV in the house that you watched

805
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: every now and then. Otherwise, you read magazines, you talk

806
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: to your friends, you listened to what was popping on

807
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 3: the radio, and so it was simpler. There was less assault,

808
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 3: There was less demand for these super sophisticated or crazier

809
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 3: edgy things.

810
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: It was okay to just hear a sweet.

811
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 4: Song and walk along holding your special someone's hand. And

812
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 4: you know, granted, there was lots of other stuff going

813
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: on as well, but I think the music is reflective

814
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 4: of what was needed at the time and people. We

815
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 4: were into it. Man, love was love.

816
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: It's great coming. What about Crimson and Clover or thunder Island.

817
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I thought, right, it was very very good. Yeah, those

818
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: are really good love songs. Someone someone suggested, maybe I'm

819
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: amazed by Paul McCartney exactly.

820
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: Again, I can't take umbrage with any of these. And again,

821
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 4: the list is literally never ending because fifty percent of

822
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 4: all songs were love songs. Yeah, at least fifty percent.

823
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: So familiar with a song called the Garden by Van Morris,

824
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: I am not. Well. I may have heard it before,

825
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:28,520

Speaker 1: get into your car, yeah, put it on, and that'll that.

827
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 3: Should Oh I don't have a phonograph of my car.

00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 1: Get you into the into the it should get into
