The name of the 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: albums The Boys of Dungeon Lane, and it's all about 59 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 2: meeting together and sticking together writing all those songs.

Comes out May twenty ninth, and the 63 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: first single from the album is kind of like snuck out. 64 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: It's called the Days We Left Behind. Here's a little 65 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: clip problem you like it? 66 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Here he is. 67 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 2: Glad you like it. 68 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: That's McCartney playing right, so far, so good. 69 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it flashes back, but I mean it's 70 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 2: got it's got a great theme to it, and it's 71 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: you know, it's him kind of I guess, pouring forth 72 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: about him growing up when they were kids, and I 73 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 2: don't know, you saw the the series where he took back. 74 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 2: He went back and showed everybody where he lived and 75 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 2: some of the pubs he would sing in and all 76 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 2: that kind of thing. I think this is going to 77 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: be probably the best album he's done in a few years. 78 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: Well all right, but he didn't set the bar very 79 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 1: high album wise in the last few years. And I 80 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: don't mean I'm not picking on him. It's just when 81 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: you're the superstar legend Elder Statesman Mick Jagger, Billy Joel 82 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: Paul McCartney, you can tour the world and it's incredible, 83 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 1: but you're not going to have hit albums anymore, are you?

He tells 169 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: him to get out and take the body with him. 170 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 2: They said, no, tell you what. We're going to get out, 171 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: but we're not taking the body. They take off running 172 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 2: and I don't know how long they ran, but they 173 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 2: ran into a cop car and he thought they told 174 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: them what was going on. Now. This is Dayton Weber. 175 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: The guy he shot was Braderick Michael Wells twenty seven 176 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: Bout twenty seven and then what happened. I don't know 177 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 2: how he did this either. He pulled into a residential 178 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: area and somehow managed to get the body out of 179 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 2: the front seat into some guy's yard. 180 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 1: All right, sounds like an episode of Breaking Bad. Sounds 181 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: like Walter White Waiter. 182 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: Wait minu, it's not over yet. He keeps driving. He 183 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 2: drives the Charlottesville, Virgini and no one's caught him yet. 184 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 2: He checked in and check it, and he went into 185 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 2: the emergency room at the hospital. He needed treatment for something. 186 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: I don't know what it was, and that's where the 187 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: cops got him. But I mean, think about that just 188 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 2: for a second. It's hard to even drive a car. 189 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,360 Speaker 2: And then he shoots a guy and then he pulled 190 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 2: him out of the car and dumps him in somebody's yard. 191 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 1: Unbelievable.
