59
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: I always wanted to start with. What did you have

60
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:44,120

00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: I had U pancakes you have in syrup you cook

62
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 2: them more, you know, I had. I had a meeting

63
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: this morning. What time do you wake up? Man? I

64
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: don't want to wake up, but the kids wake me up.

65
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: They it's insane right now. I have a six year

66
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: old and the four and a half year old, and

67
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: they get in bed around probably four in the morning.

68
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Usually wait what I know, and I'm just like, dude,

69
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 2: I gotta sleep, but we show biz kids. My wife

70
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: is like, no, no, they go to sleep at like

71
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 2: seven or at night, but in their room. But then

72
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 2: at four in the morning, they walk into our bedroom

73
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: and come into bed with me and my wife and

74
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 2: just want to sleep in the bed with us. And

75
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: I was like, we got to just tell them no,

76
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: and they got to go back to the room. My

77
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 2: wife's like, they won't do it forever. There's no you know,

78
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: thirty year old kids sleep with their parents. She's eventually

79
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: they figure it out. She goes, one day we'll be

80
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: wanting our kids to come in and send it laying.

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: So anyways, so they come in around four, I try

82
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: to I toss and turn till about probably seven, and

83
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 2: then we wake up around six thirty seven.

84
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: When he's not out of school age now she in

85
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: first grade.

86
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 2: She's in first grade, and she still wants to get

87
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: up at six in the morning. Oh yeah, they got

88
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 2: up at six in the morning. They play for they're

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: excited and they love it. They play for an hour

90
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: like all their toys, and then we brush our teeth

91
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: and that we have breakfast. We usually make them breakfast,

92
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: but I didn't eat with them because I had to.

93
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 2: But normally what I would do is you know what

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: I've been doing is the gross apple cider, vinegar, lemon,

95
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: hot water. I love that now you do, and I'm

96
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: used to it. I'm still not used to it. It's

97
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: disguis's honestly painful for me, really to drink vinegar every morning.

98
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: It sounds like torture. Why did we do that to

99
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: each other?

100
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: Or do you put a little bit of honey in it? Yes,

101
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: and it's still hard.

102
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: It's getting better a little bit for me, but I

103
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: think I was maybe I was putting too much vinegar

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: in mine. Oh okay, I was just drinking like hot vinegar.

105
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: It was pretty gross. But you do it every day.

106
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: I look forward to it.

107
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 2: You do.

108
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I put Kian pepper.

109
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do that never now and then I throw

110
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 2: that in there. But anyways, so that's normally I would

111
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: not have breakfast. I would just have that, but I

112
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: had a meeting about the show today, so I had

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,799
Speaker 2: to go order something to just be rude.

114
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 1: So your morning routine usually starts at seven, yeah, and

115
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: then because the thing is is that sometimes I'll say

116
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: most of the time, unless we're talking about a sketch

117
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: or some sort of whatever, the format of what we're

118
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: gonna do later, I never see you, so I never

119
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: know what your morning routine is from nine from eight

120
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: in the morning till three or two. Yeah, because usually

121
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: I'll say that I used to probably up until like

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, I used to go

123
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: to bed at five and then wake up at nine.

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: But now I'm on a whole new regular schedule. Like

125
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: this is the most regular I've ever been in. You know,

126
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: my my girl won't allow me to. She wants it

127
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: lights out at eleven o'clock and no Soul train on

128
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 1: loop either, Like, wow, I watch soul train.

129
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, usually when I walk in, you got, she asked me?

130
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: She has me all like maybe I'll say, like I

131
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: could probably do three episodes a week a week, that's it.

132
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: I used to do three hundred a day. Gosh, like

133
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: she used to be my jukebox or that sort of thing.

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: So I go to bed as soon as I can.

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: I go. I'm one of those people now I go

136
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: out to dinner. If I go out to dinner with Nancy,

137
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 2: we go out at like I'm there at five o'clock.

138
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: So you like, I can't wait to go to sleep.

139
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: I love sleep, I.

140
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: Started I hate I mean, I'm afraid that sleep is

141
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: I feel like me is saying like, oh man, I

142
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: can't wait to go to bed?

143
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: Is last of time?

144
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: Well, no, I just feel like it's it's me admitting

00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 2: You're trying to learn harmony to the song called Zoom

191
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: because like zoom zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, zoomzoom,

Speaker 2: zoom zoom zoom zoom.

193
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 1: The same format. I've never heard this song in my life,

194
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: but I knew it, so I.

195
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: Was trying to. So he would try to teach me

196
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 2: and my sister to sing Zoom so we could like

197
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: harmonize and be like, you know, I don't know the

198
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 2: Osmonds or whatever some towns. No, I was Marie, but

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 2: I was. It's like so my sister immediately was like,

200
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: I'm out. I don't even I don't get harmony. I

201
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 2: don't like this. I'm out of the out of the group.

202
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 2: But me and my dad were even rebel. I mean yeah,

203
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: Gloria was the rep. So me and my dad could

204
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: sing zoom pretty well. Uh. And so that was just

205
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: I would just start learning all these harmonies and then

206
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: getting in the trick your harmonies and trying to like,

207
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I just loved it.

208
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: I just so would he would he go to all

209
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,680

00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 2: which is upstate by Kingston, p Keepsie, Woodstock, that area.

213
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: So there was a place called Ulster Performing Arts Center,

214
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,760

217
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: into concert was with the whole family. We went to

00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: you know.

220
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Chances are it was a Dick Fox production.

221
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Larry Chance and the Earls were there.

222
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, member Rember.

223
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: I saw Joey D and the Starlights star Lighters they

224
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: got another dancing the dance the peppermn.

225
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Side note all right, So not many people know that

226
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: Hendricks used to play in Joey D and the star Lighters.

227
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: What yeah, Hendricks. Joey always tells that story, like when

228
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: when I see him. Joey D had a son that

229
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: was in the star Lighters was my age, and so

230
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: at one point in nineteen eighty five, my dad had

231
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 1: this idea like, Okay, we're gonna get Joey D's son,

232
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: Gary us Bond's daughter. But my maddle name is Middle's sister,

233
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: right right, his two nieces, my sister and I. It

234
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: was like a eight It was like an eight eight

235
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: kid group of all duop legends, and they wanted to

236
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: call it UBI the next Generation. Oh like Redo Duop

237
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: called UBI. I don't know if we were redoing duop,

238
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: but it was just a thing like, let's put a

239
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: supergroup together of all like the legends. We did one

240
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: session at the studio that's now that used to be

241
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: Sony on fifty fourth and eleventh Avenue. So somewhere in

242
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: their files in nineteen eighty six there's like a four

243
00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: song oldies do op demo from the Legends of Douop.

244
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: I think that was like my first studio session ever.

245
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 2: No way, yeah, was it a cappella? Was a duop?

246
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: Or is it? No? We played like I drummed and

247
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: see I could see that working. But that's because I

248
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: think I grew up brainwashed that duop was the only.

249
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: Music I thought, right right.

250
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 2: My parents tricked me as well, because well, my dad

251
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: was in Vietnam, so he was like he had these real,

252
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 2: real tapes of him and his group on the ship

253
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 2: singing duop. So I always thought that Vietnam everyone sang

254
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 2: duop songs. And then I'm watching these movies. I watch

255
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 2: Apocalypse Now or whatever, and no one's singing any duop

256
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm here like the doors, and right,

257
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: did I go? What is this music? I know for

258
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 2: a fact people sang do op until she turns out.

259
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 2: My dad was just like a nerd to me.

260
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: No, we got tricked, man, we got trick right, because

261
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: in my first grade class, my first homework assignment was

262
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: bring in in your favorite forty five. The next day

263
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 1: everyone came in with contemporary stuff and he gives I

264
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 1: just want to be everything disco duck yeah, rick D's

265
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And I came in with why do

266
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: Fools fall in Love?

267
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: What fools?

268
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: And my teachers were like, oh, this is from my era,

269
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: and none of the kids knew my record. And wait

270
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: a second, right, my teacher explained, like, well, a mere

271
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: like when I was your age, this is what I

272
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: listened to.

273
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: And I'm looking like, how come this isn't resident if

274
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 2: you guys this happened to me? But such later in life,

275
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: I was like, I was actually in high school or

276
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: college people do that now.

277
00:14:55,600 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I remember at one point, uh Comal decided that he

278
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: was going to make his kids think that Michael Jackson's

279
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: Off the Wall was a brand new album. So I

280
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: know kids that do that now, like just put their

281
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: kids in the time warp and don't listen. You know,

282
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: there's nothing for it.

283
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, did it work for a little bit.

284
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: Well, it's weird now because I'll say that of all

285
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: the Roots kids, Kamal's kids are the weirdest. Yeah, his daughter. Now,

286
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: as this taping, your Your Grateful Dead experience will be over.

287
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 1: But Kamal's oldest daughter is and she I think she

288
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: just turned twenty. She's like a total deadhead, like she

289
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: knows American beauty. She went to college one year and

290
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: then they just put her on to like the first

291
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: four Grateful Dead records because she had all these quotes

292
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: on her social media. I'm like, wait a minute, what

293
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: do you know about Cherry Carsia?

294
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: Dude. I think it's changed my life a little bit.

295
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: I've never listened to him at all, and I'm really

296
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: into it. I dig it, I get it all right,

297
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 2: I totally get it.

298
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: And then Kamal's son is straight up country what yo, No,

299
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: I think your kids. Your kids are going to be

300
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: the total opposite of what you are, which explains it

301
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: because even Kirks Kirk's son is into like the hardest

302
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: trap music of all time. Really, like when when certain

303
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: acts come on the show and kirk Son doesn't show up,

304
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, Yo, you didn't want to see Da Da

305
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: Da Da Da. You'd be like, Nah, that's too commercial

306
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: for me.

307
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: I'm like, what, like like the underground stuff?

308
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: He if it's if it's if it's too mainstream, he

309
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: won't he won't mess with it.

310
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: I just realized I gotta teach you when he had

311
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,480

00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: don't want them controlling, like what the search.

324
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,719
Speaker 2: I was watching one thing and I just said, hey,

Speaker 2: maybe no more YouTube because it was no It was

326
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,840

327
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,360
Speaker 2: like that's it, dude. And they were obsessed with this show.

328
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,560

329
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,199

Speaker 2: on YouTube and kids like it. Don't know how they

336
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,479

00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 2: want to soothe these people. It's like I don't like it.

343
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't want it in my house.

344
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,360

351
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: America learns how to dance. That's it, Yes, that's how

352
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: they learned. Hey, do you remember the first mixtape you

353
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: ever made for someone?

354
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has a big deal.

355
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: How long did it take you to craft it?

356
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 2: Oh? I mean plusing play record and pause and having

357
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 2: the record startup. And it wasn't even a great mixtape.

358
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 2: It was just my stuff, which is all weird stuff.

359
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: And I would take it because I had this thing

360
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: when I was a kid that I didn't and this

361
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 2: is you could ask my sister. I wouldn't let anyone

362
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: copy my music. Why because I thought it would affect

363
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 2: the record industry. Wait what because I must have seen

364
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: someone talk about it on TV or so. I said,

365
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 2: you're going to ruin the record industry if you record

366
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: a song, if you take my song, you have to

367
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: buy the record. You can't just take the song off

368
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 2: of by record. The eyebaught He's going to ruin the industry.

369
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 2: And my sister was like, you're the worst, You're the

370
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 2: weirdest kid. And so I would have to take my

371
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: music to the party. I play my mixtape, then I

372
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,920
Speaker 2: take the tape home. I would just I would own

373
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 2: my mixtapes.

374
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 1: You wouldn't give it to no one, No, no, shut up, Bill,

375
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: no boss. Bill's in the other room, like, yes, I

376
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: agree with you.

377
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 2: Right right, I would I. I wouldn't give it to anyone,

378
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 2: not even my sister.

379
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, I was the opposite. I feel I

380
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: am Spotify like the the The amount of work I

381
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: don't have to do now in the age of streaming

382
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: is mind boggling because back when you we had to

383
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 1: make mixtapes and mix you have to listen to the

384
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 1: whole song. I was the guy you had to come

385
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: to to make whatever, Like I was the king of mixtape,

386
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 1: make it. But you never made a mixtape for anyone.

387
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I might have done like earlier, because

388
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: I remember I used to listen to the radio all

389
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 2: the time. I was like, I loved it. I had

390
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 2: a boombox and I'm trying to think of the brand,

391
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 2: the brand name of my boombox. I forget. I mean

392
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: I remember it in my brain looking at it. Just

393
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: to listen to this radio station, have play record and pause,

394
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: just there, just in case a song came on the radio.

395
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: Ghostbusters was my jam. I was like Ray Parker Junior, Ghostbusters.

396
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: If I hear that, I would run over and like

397
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: try to record it.

398
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: And I was like, oh.

399
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 2: And then like I remember listening to another like my

400
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: dad would play radio and I would bring the boom

401
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 2: box over to his speaker so I could record the

402
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 2: song from his speaker onto my cassette player so I

403
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: can tape it that way, like if there was like

404
00:20:57,280 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 2: a special Beatles thing. I was really into the Beatles

405
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 2: at one point, right, so I had those type of mixtapes.

406
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: And then I remember listening to Doctor Demento. Do you

407
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: know him at all?

408
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: That's how weird Out got to start, right, Yeah, Okay,

409
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: He's just was the legend of Doctor Demento.

410
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: He played novelty songs and novelty record so any comedy

411
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 2: song there was a whole mess, a whole different. They

412
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: don't do it anymore as much, but in the seventies,

413
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 2: especially in the eighties. Uh, it was all comedy joke

414
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 2: songs like that was the birth of weird al But

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: it was like Steve Martin, you know, doing King tut

416
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: that was like it charted that That's all Duck. Yeah,

417
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 2: that disco Duck was a hit. So, I mean, that's

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: a novelty record. All these like but do you remember

419
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,240
Speaker 2: he would just play novelty records. Do you remember the Coasters?

420
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 2: They had that song well jobing cad like what dun.

421
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 2: It was called beat Beep and then by the end

422
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 2: of the song it gets faster, so it's like that

423
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 2: that don that then that betpep bet beep, the hormone

424
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: beat beep beep, and now I'm going to one hundred

425
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 2: and and so it was like a song about a race,

426
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 2: but the song it was not a real it was

427
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:08,879

430
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: like that and very it was very more seventies than

431
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: anything else. But I would listen to that Sunday nights

432
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 2: and and and just try to record all these funny

433
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: songs and then see if I can start writing them myself.

434
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: See you write them down and perform the school.

435
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 2: The first song, my first parody song I ever wrote,

436
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: was awful, but it was what's your what's your defto?

437

Speaker 2: Like I wish I was King Kong Bundy. That would

442
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 2: be a fun or whatever. And it was like it

443
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: was awful. And I remember writing it like and I

444
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 2: had my eraser, my papermate, eraser mate, and like rewriting

445

Speaker 2: like I'm gonna be weird out and that's what I

447
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 2: and I remember writing it was just I thought it

448
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 2: was so clever and fun. Then I was too embarrassed.

449
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,959

00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: had a fake rap group that was terrible. What was

467
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 2: the name of the group? We were called the minute

468
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 2: Man and I don't know why, and we not even

469
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: knowing there already was a punk band called the minute Man.

470
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: We were we just thought and I can't even tell

471
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 2: you it's honestly, it's is worse than uh death money, dude.

472
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: My name was Jim Hat and the room is explosive there.

473
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: I was like Jim Hat with that B Boys style,

474
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: wild dude, it was awful. I thought, Jim Hat, I know,

475
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 2: like that makes logical sense. I wouldn't have wanted to

476
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 2: be Colgate. I thought that would be a cool rap name.

477
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: Colgate.

478
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like I thought people could have the logo on

479
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 2: the shirt, like the toothpaste.

480
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: And they still make Colgate half Colgate still.

481
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 2: I don't you know.

482
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: One day, like whenever I land in La X, the

483
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 1: first time I make is that I go to pharmacy

484
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: to do the trial size stuff like the things I

485
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 1: need toothbrush, toothpage, and I was just noticed and like

486
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: brands that only exist there. Well, no, well, brands that

487
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: I thought were out of you know, like Safeguard or

488
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: like they trail like seventies brands.

489
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cam they still they exist in trial size. So

490
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 2: what other what other concerts did you go to when

491
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: you were uh uh weird? I saw, oh gosh, it

492
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,320

00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: come go with me. Whoa you saw Expose? They had

494
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 2: a song that was really I loved it. It wasn't

495
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 2: come go with me, but it was a point and overturn, yes,

496
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 2: the point of uh, you're taking me right? Yeah?

497
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: And they had seasons change, Seasons Change.

498
00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 2: I love that song.

499
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: I was a member of Columbia House to me too,

500
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 1: but I was the I would never return the all right.

Speaker 1: If you, yeah, this this was our Spotify you you

504
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: were basically they will offer you twelve cassettes or CDs

505
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: for a penny.

506
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: You would tape Scott's tape of penny.

507
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,720

00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 1: records you had to I forgot what the check was

511
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: like for. You know, for a dollar ninety eight more,

512
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: you can get three more. See, so you can get

513
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: fifteen all together for under the low low price of

514
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: three bucks. Yeah, and then you were part of this

515
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: club in which every month they would send you product

516
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: and you had, yeah, like two.

517
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: Weeks to mail it, not even yeah something like that. Yeah,

518
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 2: you either liked it or mail it back. If you

519
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 2: kept it, it was like twenty bucks a record.

520
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you kept it, it was definitely like seventeen

521
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: ninety nine or something like that. But if you mailed

522
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: it back, and I think between that and the first

523
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: two years of trying to catch Michael Jackson videos on

524
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: MTV was how I developed my vocabulary for pop music

525
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 1: because I would never mail back Debbie Gibson's Out of

526
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: the Blue or.

527
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 2: Or Timpany's first record. I think I got tricked into

528
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: that one toil. Yeah, I know you know what.

529
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: I think she thinks I'm being sarcastic, like I'm cool

530
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: with her now, But in the beginning, I think in

531
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: her mind it was like, what you're trying to told me?

532
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: What you're saying that? Yeah, my first I was like, yeah,

533
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: I had Out of the Blue Eyed, Electric Youth, Electric Youth.

534
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 2: I was like they were a first War right. I

535
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 2: was like, no, I really was.

536
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:04,760
Speaker 1: I was a fan of yours, and she was just

537
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 1: looking like, Okay, where's where's the Where's ash? Yeah? Right,

538
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: she's cool though she didn't believe. She didn't believe it

539
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: for the longest, but then I think she realized, like,

540
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: oh you are.

541
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 2: But every album back then I loved it, even if

542
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: he had like one hit song on there. I remember

543
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 2: I was trying to I didn't know what music I

544
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: was going to be into, right, so I tried every

545
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 2: type of genre and like, oh, maybe I'm in the metal,

546
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 2: Is it really? Yeah? I was like, dude, maybe I

547
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 2: should like worship with the Devil, and like, what am

548
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 2: I talking about? I'm an altar boy.

549
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 1: I think it's I think the weird thing is that

550
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: I think between twelve and seventeen, you're open to anything,

551
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: which you know I can't like. Now I really have

552
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: the patience to like sift through records and see what

553
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm into, and the way that I used to do

554
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 1: back in the day, Like I would listen to an

555
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: entire Mina Me sal Machine record, whether I like the

556
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: song or not too, because you didn't want to go

557
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: up to the cassette and fast forward. Okay, I don't

558
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: like this song, What's what else is it?

559
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,960
Speaker 2: Like? You would just play the whole thing? Yeah, exactly, Like, yeah,

560
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: I don't want to. It's easier to lift the needle

561
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 2: to move that back, but no, I would listen to

562
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 2: the whole album. Then I'd like the B sides. I

563
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 2: would know what song follows what song too, in order.

564
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: See. That explains why sometimes when an artist comes on

565
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: and then you ask for the deep cut and I'm like,

566
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, what what about the hit the hit joint?

567
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: And you like, Nope, I want the Yeah, that's the

568
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 2: secret one that you go like, oh, like like if

569
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 2: you buy Cyndi Lauper, you just sing she Bop, you know,

570
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 2: it's like that's the that's the secret song off of

571
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: Right the Girl.

572
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: Right Right? Do you have a top five like performances

573
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 1: on the show for us?

574
00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: God, there's so much now we've been done. We've done

575
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:53,560
Speaker 2: so many shows now, it's crazy.

576
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: I mean you, I have a top five, I have

577
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: a top five of me performing and a top five

578
00:29:59,000 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: of me watching.

579
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: Was one of your top five recently? Dog Dude Miller?

580
00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 1: I almost sometimes It's it's hard not to because I'm

581
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 1: so connected to music and the memories that it brings on.

582
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Because whenever I hear fly like an Eagle, I instantly

583
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 1: think about the first month of school, and I'm thinking

584
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 1: of like my parents not conning me, like Okay, we're

585
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: going to take you to this brown building and you're

586
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 1: going to stay in here for the next seven hours

587
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna come and get you at three o'clock.

588
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: And you know, like I was just never explaining the

589
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: concept at school. It was just like, huh wait, I'm

590
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: playing with them, and so I think during like one

591
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 1: of those explanations, it was the radio was just playing

592
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: like Billy Davis and Marilyn mccoo's you Don't Have to be.

593
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: A Star, and then like you I am radio at

594
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 2: this point, FM you know what?

595
00:30:55,840 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: So Philly, Philly was really good with Fmrie On the

596
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: weekends though, FM radio turned religious and then you'd have

597
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: to live and listen to AM radio, so we'd have

598
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: to switch a wizard one hundred. And the thing is

599
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: is that I lived in a don't touch my stereo household,

600
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: So again a big part of my palette is the

601
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: fact that I had to listen to what my sister

602
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: wanted to listen to and what my dad. I didn't

603
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: control the car radio nor in my bet you know

604
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: the room that my sister and I shared, so like

605
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: I just remember, like.

606
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 2: I remember pressing, like being able to press the button

607
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 2: to my dad's car that would it would be a plastic,

608
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 2: hard plastic button that you would actually switch the station.

609
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 2: You would see the zip to the one side right

610
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 2: and I actually tuned. I mean this is pre digital

611
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 2: scan and seek for something. It was actually press the

612
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: button and you would feel like gears moving to the

613
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: radio station that you want to yeah, and I was like, oh,

614
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,720
Speaker 2: I just to hope to hear like the Rolling Stones

615
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: or something like that. And yeah, so fly like an eagle.

616
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 2: It was definitely, dude, you crust that one. And I

617
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 2: was like, dude, I actually had to look over to

618
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: see what your face was doing because usually I can't

619
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: see the drummer.

620
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: I was doing every I had two moments in which

621
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: I kind of had a I might cry moment.

622
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 2: It was awesome, dude. It was honestly, it just clicked,

623
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: like because you did the first like.

624
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, in the space. I had to beg for those

625
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: extra because at first they were like three minutes and

626
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, you know, and I'm like, wait a minute, guys,

627
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: not for this one. You don't understand, like the most

628
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: important part of the song is like the beginning. We

629
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: gotta do that.

630
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 2: So you did didn't did out, So it was so yeah,

631
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 2: I didn't want to end. And he was having fun. Yeah,

632
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 2: and he was having and he was so look at it,

633
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 2: because you know, we have these guys on that like

634
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: they don't play with anyone else but their band, and

635
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 2: they're jaded and they're like, oh well look, it's almost

636
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 2: feel like they're cheating on their band, but then when

637
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: they see how much love and how much work you

638
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: guys put into that song, like Eddie Grant, Oh.

639
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: I forgot.

640
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: He was so nervous. I know, he was so nervous,

641
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: like Jimmy I, I I don't I only play with

642
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: my band. I I'm these guys are great, but I

643
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 2: don't know them. And you know, to play with my song,

644
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 2: you know, electric Avenue, And so he goes, do you

645
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 2: remember you brought a harmonica?

646
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: Yes? Oh?

647
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: Did you wait?

648
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: When we're sound checking? Are you watching on close times?

649
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: I'm watching, damn it.

650
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes I am, but sometimes I'd like to be surprised.

651
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: But we're doing sound check. It was like a ten

652
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: minute version and we're like looking at each other while

653
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: I was.

654
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: Like, paying harmonica do electric Avenue? Like who is to blaming?

655
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: I like, dude, stop. But so I saw him and

656
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: he goes, yeah, I'm just gonna bring this just in case.

657
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 2: I go, Eddie, you don't need a harmonica. The roots

658
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: will got you covered. Trust me, man, it's gonna me fun.

659
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 2: And he did the song, didn't do harmonica, and he crushed.

660
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 2: It was great, And I went over to say thank

661
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 2: you for being on the show and want to shake

662
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: his hand and what was in his hand harmonica? Yeah,

663
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 2: that's the case.

664
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: You know what.

665
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: It's also like a big part.

666
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 1: I'm always nervous about the legend because one you don't

667
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 1: want to ruin like the thought in your head of like, uh,

668
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 1: what's it gonna be or what's it not going to be?

669
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,919
Speaker 1: It's just that sometimes all right, I met we had

670
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: one guess that walked away, do you remember, Yeah, Cinthy yea,

671
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: Just because I think, okay, in our minds, in their minds,

672
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,239
Speaker 1: it's like, okay, I'm gonna play with the roots. So

673
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: they think like I'll take my song and filter it

674
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: through and I'll rutify it. Like that's the one word

675
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: we hear the most inside the rehearsal room, like you know,

676
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: don't don't do the normal version, like rutify it. And

677
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, what you don't get is that us

678
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: rutifying it is doing it just like your album version.

679
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 2: That is roots fact, because we want the yeah, I mean,

680
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 2: we want the exact sound. We want Eddie Grant to

681
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 2: go out in the streets if he if he yeah,

682
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: he doesn't want to do that. Anymore. He goes, I

683
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 2: don't do that. I haven't done that for twenty five

684
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 2: years ago.

685
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, bring it back.

686
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: That's the part of the song that we love, those

687
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: little nuggets, those little awesome little eggs, those easter eggs

688
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 2: where you're like, oh no, that's the one part you

689
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 2: gotta do, like right, like on the dock side of town,

690
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 2: yeah or something. You didn't do that, and he was like, uh,

691
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 2: like when we have it, was it crowded house or

692
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: something came on. I'm like, all I want to hear

693
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 2: is that base I go Boodoo do doo. That was

694
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: freedom a little bit. If you don't hit that baseline,

695
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 2: and that's just ruin. I need that. It's part of

696
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 2: my whole thing of loving that song. It's like, but

697
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 2: we usually hit it like ninety nine percent of the time, right.

698
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,320
Speaker 2: We convinced the people tore like, come on, you gotta

699
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: do that part and like, oh, I don't hit that

700
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 2: note anymore. It's like, yeah, but try it. Just go

701
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 2: for it because trust me, we'll get your back. And

702
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: then they do it in the scores.

703
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: Well, probably the one humorous movement for us was definitely

704
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: in the Air Tonight, where that was the only time

705
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: I saw you being nervous, dude, twice twice in my life.

706
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 1: But I've talked myself into major sabotage.

707
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 2: I was.

708
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't helping them like I well see, I didn't

709
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: know about meditation back then. What I should have been

710
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: doing was basically deep breathing. Get out of your head.

711
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: Just hit these three times the way you've always done

712
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: it all your life.

713
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: In the basement.

714
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: And for some reason, right when Phil Collins is like

715
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: and I remember, and I was like, don't mess up,

716
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: don't mess it.

717
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 2: I remember, don't worry all right, don't fuck up, don't

718
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 2: fuck it? How good I ever.

719
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Jimmy. Jimmy's looking left.

720
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 2: I went from behind my desk to the front to

721
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 2: look at your face. I know, love it. And I'm

722
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: looking at the band standard for the roots members and

723
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 2: I says.

724
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:45,080
Speaker 1: Silence up, oh boy, no using fool me, oh dann

725
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: cameras he's looking at me.

726
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 2: The heart doesn't so you're looking at it.

727
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,760
Speaker 1: The pain still grows sustainious dudems.

728
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 2: And I hit that symbol and was just drop a

729
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: stick or something. No, my my my ride symbol. Oh yeah,

730
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:11,360
Speaker 2: I fell fell down dude. It was the fell I

731
00:37:11,440 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 2: broke in pieces.

732
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:14,320
Speaker 1: I was gonna let it slide and just be like

733
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: I'm going home. I failed and then shout out to

734
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: Sugar Steve. Steve's like, no, man, I can't let this happen.

735
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna fix this. And I was like, well, we

736
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 1: can't go back and tape it like it's over, and

737
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: he says, I bet you. They have sound check on tape.

738
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: So we basically.

739
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: Spent at least an hours editing. Oh god, you remember

740
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: that he was here. He was there to five in

741
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 2: the board.

742
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 1: We're the only show that gives that autonomy, like gives

743
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: that power to guests to come and edit their own

744
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: thing and mix their own thing. Any other show like

745
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: I've done Letterman. But I'm like, okay, so we want

746
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: reverbal and you know, verse.

747
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 2: Two and then already and they're like it's already, can't

748
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 2: touch it right, They're like, no, it's gone.

749
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: It is what it is.

750
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 2: And we let everyone like go in listen to it

751
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: and mix it. But we usually we have the right

752
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 2: sound between you know, we we have the best sound.

753
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: I feel like we have the best sound mixing and engineering.

754
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: Yeah that al Simon stayed up until right before his segment,

755
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: which is unheard of. Right.

756
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: We were nervous because we got to deliver the show.

757
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 2: And this is when we were doing twelve thirty five, right,

758
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: so we had an extra hour. But it was like

759
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 2: I think it was up to like it was actually

760
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: up to midnight.

761
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: Right, it was ripe two commercials before you were actually

762
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: covering more.

763
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 2: So he spent we take that five or six, right,

764
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,359
Speaker 2: and he engineered it like it was a real song

765
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: for five hours. It must be the best engineered song

766
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: of all time. I don't even I kind of remember

767
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: what it was that wasn't the one with stomp was it?

768
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 2: We don't even remember. That's the thing. It's just now

769
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 2: I got to go back in the archives and he

770
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 2: really spent the time in that one. But but then

771
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: back to the Phil Collins thing, because you ended up

772
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 2: nailing it on when you see it on TV, because

773
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 2: all a pack a lot.

774
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that to me, that that was a moment.

775
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 2: I mean, I love that. I love Jim James. I

776
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 2: was from Late Night. I love that. That's right.

777
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,399
Speaker 1: He did another life with all of his presentations.

778
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 2: Whenever Jim James comes on. I also liked when you

779
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 2: guys come when the roots come on, and we spend

780
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 2: extra time like making a production and it's actually it's

781
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: almost like a music video.

782
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: Or musical musical. Yeah, my three moments from that. I

783
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,000
Speaker 1: don't know why. Once I realized that we had a

784
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: lot of I didn't realize the power of how Dave

785
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: is as as a director Dave de Meti and and

786
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: and directing and doing tricks and all those things. So

787
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 1: I thought, like, I wonder how we could pull off

788
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,960
Speaker 1: a song that makes us look like we're playing in

789
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: slow motion like the Beastie Boys always do. Like so

790
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: what you want video was like the ipetus of it,

791
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 1: like of them performing in you're hearing the song in

792
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: real time, but it's like them doing it slow motion.

793
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: So when Usher was on the show, yep, you know,

794
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: I knew it was going to confuse the audience, like

795
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: we had to do that Usher song like chipmunks.

796
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: Dude, it was like.

797
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: And he's dancing really super fast and he caught and

798
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 1: he caught like he was dancing, And really that's the

799
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: thing I thought, like do you need to practice this?

800
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: Like do you need to figure out your splits and everything?

801
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 2: It looks so weird and so you're almost laughing at.

802
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: Him, right, but then when you watch it, it was, oh, it's.

803
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 2: Magical, dude. He's like slow motion doing the perfect dance

804
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 2: moves and singing on the you know, on the ring

805
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 2: exactly right. Yeah, it was insane. That was That was

806
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:38,439
Speaker 2: a cool moment.

807
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: Yeah. The second time, Tyler, Tyler, they created To See

808
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: You Again with Caliuchis and he created Yeah, this it

809
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: was almost like a surreal musical. But it's it's to me,

810
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 1: that was like a moment, dude. Get we have to

811
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,200
Speaker 1: talk about Prince.

812
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 2: There's there's two films, there's so many.

813
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. For me, the best part of the craziest memory

814
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: is definitely the Ping.

815
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 2: Pong with the pea pong story. But even goes on

816
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: before that. Do you remember bring me on stage at

817
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 2: the garden, Oh, Madison Square Garden. So Chris Rock comes

818
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 2: on and he goes, he goes bah blah blah blah.

819
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 2: He goes, well, of course Prince is my favorite concert.

820
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 2: I've never seen him. Go. You've never seen Prince like you.

821
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: You love music and you've never seen Prince in concert?

822
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,719
Speaker 2: What are you talking about? How could you even say that?

823
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,759
Speaker 2: You're a fan of what do you. I can't talk

824
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:35,759
Speaker 2: to you until you see Prince, all right, And so

825
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 2: I go, all right, I gotta go see Prince. And

826
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 2: you're like, dude, I can't believe you. I haven't seen him.

827
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 2: So anyways, I go to the garden see Prince and

828
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 2: he is unbelievable. He really is. I remember Madonna was

829
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 2: at the concerts in the audience watching Prince stoneface, just

830
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 2: going like wow, I got up my game. He's just

831
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 2: so magical. And she's great too, Yeah he was. So

832
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,840
Speaker 2: he's crushing it. And Prince's manager or whoever this was,

833
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: came up to me, Yeah, hi, I'm a princess manager.

834
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 2: I don't even think it was Cairo was someone to say, like,

835
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 2: Prince would really love you to get on stage at

836
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: the end of the concert and dance with him, like

837
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,360
Speaker 2: he gets a bunch of celebrity friends and to go

838
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 2: on stage and dancing at the end. I go, that's

839
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 2: not really my thing. I'm not really a big dancer,

840
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 2: but thank you. So I'll just watch the concert. Next song,

841
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 2: someone else comes out like, hy how you doing. I'm

842
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 2: working for a princess A different person, Yeah, different person.

843
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 2: I go, Prince would really love for you. I go, yeah,

844
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I mean, that's not really my thing.

845
00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: And I don't even think he really wants me to

846
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 2: dance with him anyways. So that happens to me maybe

847
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 2: two more times during the whole concert. End of the concert,

848
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, I see you, because I didn't see you

849
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 2: if the whole concert go what's up dude? You go,

850
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get on stage at the end of the concert.

851
00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 2: I go, oh, if you're getting up there, I'll go

852
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 2: up with you then. So they all right, so you

853
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:44,879
Speaker 2: get up, I get up, you go behind a drum set.

854
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

855
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,839
Speaker 2: And as I get up and you get behind drums set,

856
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: Prince leaves. He's keep his he's on a keyboard and

857
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: it goes and sinks into the stage side of the stage,

858
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 2: and I could see him down there, almost getting in

859
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: his limousine right there, and I'm like, and I'm looking

860
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 2: around and there's no one else on stage dancing but me. Right,

861
00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: it's just me dancing and you're playing. I go, oh my,

862
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 2: that's exactly why I don't say yes to this stuff.

863
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:08,279
Speaker 2: So I think it kind of started there. And then

864
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 2: when Prince came on the show, it was always fun, right.

865
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 2: So Prince came on the show and is, uh, probably

866
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,879
Speaker 2: is Kiran His manager, Yeah, says hey, Prince would really

867
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: have to play ping pong on the show. So we go, okay,

868
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 2: we don't really play ping pong. We played beer pong,

869
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 2: but if he wants to play ping pong, it's fine.

870
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: Then he calls back and he goes, you know what,

871
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 2: Prince does not want to play beer pong on the show.

872
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: He doesn't want to play ping pong. We go, okay, whatever,

873
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: he just come on play music. As long as he

874
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 2: has fun, we're good. He calls back. He goes, Prince

875
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,400
Speaker 2: does want to play ping pong. We rethought about it.

876
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 2: Go okay, we'll have it ready to go just in case.

877
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 2: Calls back. He goes he doesn't. He wants to play

878
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 2: ping pong, but he doesn't want to play it on camera.

879
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: He wants to do it, and I go, what's your obsession?

880
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: He goes, he just thinks, Jimmy, be fun to play

881
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,919
Speaker 2: ping pong with. I go, whatever, We'll have it ready

882
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: to go. If he wants to play backstage whatever. Man,

883
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 2: So he comes down. The show never brings up pong,

884
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 2: doesn't even mention it all right, it just comes on

885
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 2: and plays. He's great and he and he leaves and

886
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: it was a great show and it was awesome. I go,

887
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 2: that was interesting. So I tell the story on the

888
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 2: show about the whole ping pong thing, and I go,

889
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 2: by the way, the Prince, if you're watching, I would

890
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: probably kick your ass in ping pong or something like that,

891
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 2: all right, just joking around. So then I think that

892
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 2: week I'm at the dinner, right, and so this is

893
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: this is the rare night. No, this is when Winnie oh,

894
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 2: Whennie was being born. So I get a call.

895
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: It was around that time. I just remember, like it

896
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: was any moment, you know what I mean. And I

897
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: get a call at ten pm. Now I think I

898
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: was sick this night, because this is one of the

899
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 1: rare times I was in bed at like ten thirty

900
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: pm on a school night or whatever. And they're like,

901
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 1: Prince wants to play Jimmy now at Susan Sarandon's ping

902
00:44:53,560 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: pong spot. Yes, Spin Spin, And I was just like, oh, man,

903
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: you know he's about to kid da da da dah.

904
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'll let him know.

905
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,399
Speaker 1: And then like a minute later they're like, well he's

906
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 1: uh you know, he's down to do it right now,

907
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,319
Speaker 1: if you know available. And I was like, oh, maybe

908
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 1: they didn't get the message. I was like, no, no, no,

909
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy's about to have a kid, so uh, yeah it

910
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: might you know, it might be busy or whatever. And

911
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 1: then a minute later he says, okay, well, uh just

912
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: name the time and place and you know he'll be there.

913
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, they're just not listening or not

914
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:34,280
Speaker 1: taking a note for an answer.

915
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

916
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: So I was like, I'm not going to answer this.

917
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: So I went to bed for like twenty minutes and

918
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: over my eyes and I was like, I don't let

919
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,800
Speaker 1: me at least tell Jimmy.

920
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: So then I texted you.

921
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: I said, hey, uh, Prince wants to play in ping pong.

922
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 1: So I had no idea of this whole exchange that

923
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,879
Speaker 1: you just went through. I said, for some strange reason,

924
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 1: he wants to play in ping pong at Susan sarandom

925
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 1: spot and I told him that you're tied up with

926

00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 1: like it's it's a thirteen foot tall stage, and so

1079
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm literally sitting under the arrow that is his name. Meanwhile,

1080
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,960
Speaker 1: my dates like sitting with my friends in the audience,

1081
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: but I'm sitting like under the stage. And mid show,

1082
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: this assistant comes by and says, Prince wants you to

1083
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: throw him a party, and I was like, I have

1084
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 1: no resource, like right now. He said yeah, tonight, and

1085
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 1: I was like, well, well I would have to. Yeah,

1086
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: you can use our phones. But I'm like, I'm going

1087
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: to miss the concert. And now it's like, oh, I'm

1088
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,800
Speaker 1: working for Prince now, So I'm like leaving my concert

1089
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: going into gotta you gotta throw them a party, right,

1090
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: So I called my friends who I normally do parties

1091
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: with in Philly. I was like, look, Prince, hang on

1092
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: a second. He wants one pool table. Okay, hey, Prince

1093
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: wants to do a party tonight. So in like four hours,

1094
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: can you find me a spot? They said, we found

1095
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,879
Speaker 1: a spot. I said, okay, Now he wants a pool table.

1096
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: They're like, well, this is a five story walk up.

1097
00:54:50,480 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: Can't please?

1098
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 1: Can we please just make this happen? Please please? So

1099
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: they had to find a detachable pool table to carry

1100
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: up five flights to stairs. So then I rush home,

1101
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: get my records ready, get there. You know, Prince is

1102
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: like a late party. So this party's not starting to

1103
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: like one point thirty, and it's ten of us and

1104
00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 1: we're inside and basically he wants to control the door,

1105
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: and you know, there's a whole group of people waiting outside,

1106
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,200
Speaker 1: but they're inside. There's only like seventy people. Club shit

1107
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 1: hold about three hundred. Anyway, so I'm playing like a

1108
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 1: bunch of like fail out, you know, West African funk music.

1109
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, like, okay, I'm gonna educate Prince on Faialai.

1110
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: He likes James Brown, he likes George Clinton, and play

1111
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: the original you know, West African guy of funk and

1112
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: he'll be into it. And Prince wasn't into it. He

1113
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,480
Speaker 1: was just like what else he got? I was like, okay,

1114
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,920
Speaker 1: I playing another Faila song? What else he got? I

1115
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:50,879
Speaker 1: was like, damn, He's like, play some of your music

1116
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,560
Speaker 1: and I was like, I never played the roots in

1117
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: the club, Like I'm just scared to do that because

1118
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:55,720
Speaker 1: it's instant club.

1119
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:58,600
Speaker 2: So I'm failing.

1120
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: And twenty five minutes in and his assistant walks up

1121
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: and says, here, play this, and she gives me a

1122
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 1: DVD and it's Finding Nemo.

1123
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 2: And I was like, yeah, the movie, not the soundtrack,

1124
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 2: the actual movie.

1125
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,759
Speaker 1: And I was like, wait, what do I I don't

1126
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: there's not a DVD player here. She said, oh. She

1127
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: comes back gives me a portable DVD player. I was like, well,

1128
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 1: I say, it's a nightclub, they don't have it. His

1129
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: engineer gives me, like the chords. I said, yeah, but

1130
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: there's no projection. There's a projection screen.

1131
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 2: So suddenly.

1132
00:56:38,680 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 1: I put this thing on, but I'm still DJing, so

1133
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,400
Speaker 1: I figured like he just wants the visual of like

1134
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: the fish playing in the background. Yeah. And then they

1135
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: come over and they're like no, no, no, can you

1136
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: turn the volume up. I was like, wait, we're in

1137
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: a nightclub in Philadelphia.

1138
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:54,520
Speaker 2: You want to watch Finding Nemo?

1139
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 1: And he said yeah, just you know, just kill the

1140
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: music and put the thing up. And I was like,

1141
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 1: oh no, you set me up. So I got the

1142
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: opening DJ guy, I said, look and about five seconds

1143
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 1: do the transfer and put up the So suddenly we

1144
00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: go from like this this funk music talking about protesting

1145
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: the government in Nigeria to suddenly, like Ellen Degenero's voice.

1146
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 2: He just wants to watch Finding Nemo. Yeah.

1147
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: And it was like it's it didn't affect nobody and

1148
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,880
Speaker 1: his crew like this happens all the time every day,

1149
00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 1: and I'm just sitting there dejected, like.

1150
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 2: No one has this story, No one has this story.

1151
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:33,200
Speaker 2: That is the greatest.

1152
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 1: I just sat there like, yo, dude, like you're playing

1153
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: Finding Nemo in the club like popping bottles in a

1154
00:57:41,240 --> 00:57:43,240
Speaker 1: and you remember the club back in like in two

1155
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: thousand and four, like it was sexy back then. Nah,

1156
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: he wanted, we were watching Pixar in the Duck Club.

1157
00:57:51,680 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: Are you Duck Club? Are you? Did you read the

1158
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 2: Beautiful Ones yet?

1159
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: Yes? I read it and it it's ah man, it

1160
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: makes me so sick, like he he wrote that. Normally,

1161
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: when people write books, you do it with a collaborator,

1162
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: like with me, it was like going back to school,

1163
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: like chapter for chapter, Like my guy would say, like, Okay,

1164
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,080
Speaker 1: write about the first time he brought a record and

1165
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 1: then I write something and he goes and okay's run

1166
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: on sentence d D D no whatever. Or traditionally you

1167
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 1: just do a twenty hour interview with someone and then

1168
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 1: they write the words in your voice. But he wrote

1169
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: that book and he only wrote thirty pages, but it

1170
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 1: revealed so much about at least up until the age

1171
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 1: of four, which you know could have been but he

1172
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,360
Speaker 1: took a lot of photos, like so there's a lot

1173
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: of unanswered questions about his childhood. Uh, Maya Rudolph is

1174
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 1: really going to love this book because there's I guess

1175
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: if Instagram were out back then, Prince would have been

1176
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: on Instagram instead. Like he just kept photo books of

1177
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: all that as he made, like the process of making it,

1178
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: like my breakfast, my engineer sleep on the couch again.

1179
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: So there's a there's a picture where he Prince is

1180
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 1: driving down Sunset and there's a big giant ad of

1181
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:17,880
Speaker 1: Minnie Riperton's new album Stay in Love, like on Sunset

1182
00:59:17,920 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 1: Boulevard and Princes waiting at a red light and Flash

1183
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:24,919
Speaker 1: takes the photo. It's a perfect shot, like this would

1184
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: have been his iPhone back in nineteen seventy seven. And

1185
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: the caption was like this woman could cause a car

1186
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: crash and I was like, oh man, my Rudolph is

1187
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: really really going to love that? Yeah?

1188
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: Does he ever know that she loves him that much? Oh? Definitely,

1189
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 2: I think yeah. Yeah.

1190
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: Because he talks about even though he only covers the

1191
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: first four year of his life, he often jumps to

1192
00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: modern references. So there's a there is a mention of

1193
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: him watching h the Darling Nicky performance. Really that is

1194
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: also in my topic, that and Stevie Wonder. I'm just

1243
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: done for me personally. No, seriously, dog like, that was

1244
01:02:15,040 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: I always joke that not even joke because everyone asked like, well,

1245
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: how did you guys manage to do the show? And

1246
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I always tell them that we were prepared in the

1247
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,360
Speaker 1: nicest way possible to say no because we didn't want

1248
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: to burn a bridge and be like, Okay, when we

1249
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:34,080
Speaker 1: have a new album, ount we can come on said show,

1250
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: I said, But then you disarmed us in literally ten minutes,

1251
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 1: which no human being has ever done. I mean, we've

1252
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: had the finest of women, the finest of models, the

1253
01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: biggest of act I think there was a point where

1254
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 1: we were supposed to go fishing with uh George Clooney

1255
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:59,760
Speaker 1: at one point, like that's a typical backstage thing, like George, clue,

1256
01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: we're going fishing tomorrow whatever, and like we're so stand

1257
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: offish as a group, and literally in ten minutes you

1258
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 1: had us doing a human pyramid. That eight is enough

1259
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 1: human pyramid at UCLA, and only because Tarik was on

1260
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:19,400
Speaker 1: the bottom row. Who you know, his clothes are so expensive.

1261
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: It's like Treek is actually getting his Japanese denim dirty.

1262
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: And I looked at Rich like we're not getting rid

1263
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: of this guy anytime soon, and he's like, Nope, you.

1264

Speaker 2: Do it right there.

1265
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: I couldn't figure out what you did to disarm the

1266
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 1: roots in ten minutes flat, and I was like, oh,
