1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation.

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: These two songs that have stood the test of time.

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 3: Is there a bigger banger than this?

4
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: One of my favorite karaoke songs. And you know what,

5
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: you can hear it up close and personal because Toto

6
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: are going to be touring in April joining us. Now

7
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,279
Speaker 2: is Toto guitarist Steve Luke Lukafa prefers to go by

8
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: the name of Luke these days. Luke, how are you?

9
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 4: I'm going great? How are you going?

10
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: Well, We're great.

11
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 5: So I didn't realize that you had a problem with

12
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 5: the name Steve, so you preferred just to be Luke

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 5: all the time.

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't I don't have a problem. But nobody

15
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: calls me that, you know, anybody that knows me calls

16
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 4: me Louke. And the reason is that happened in high

17
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 4: school because there was ten views around.

18
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that Steve was a popular name back then.

19
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 5: You know, when I got in the surf, there's a

20
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 5: bunch of guys called Steve and they're all of a

21
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 5: similar age.

22
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: And it's like Steve and Steve stick. So there's a

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: mean Steve.

24
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: Now you have to call them Luke.

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to change it all to Luke.

26
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 4: It's funny, you.

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: Know, It's true.

28
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: There's a there's a whole lot of names that are disappearing.

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: And it's not those old fashioned names. Those are all back.

30
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: It's names like Steve and Kathy and Susan and Barbara.

31
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 2: They there's a whole generation that will never have those

32
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: the Keiths anymore.

33
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: People are trying too hard, but some of these names

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 4: are ridiculous.

35
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Well, a lot of kids are called Africa, probably thanks

36
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: to you.

37
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't to say that, to say a thing.

38
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm very grateful for this crazy little song.

39
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, if you're a band like us,

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 4: been around for a long time, and you have a

41
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: hit like this, and it's been a hit four or

42
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: five times, yeah, you know, it's not even just us.

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 4: We've had it a couple of times, and and then

44
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 4: you know, other people have cut the song and had

45
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 4: big hits with it. You know. Well, we recorded the song,

46
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 4: we never thought in a million years that would be

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 4: the one that follows us around. We thought this is

48
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: a great fun production thing. The lyrics were the last

49
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 4: thing put on it, so we were kind of like,

50
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: what the are you kidding me?

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,839
Speaker 5: Well, I remember it was a key when I had

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 5: the album High Drop, I just I was just in

53
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 5: love for the band.

54
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: I just thought that's why I discovered you.

55
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 5: And it was such a since George and the Dragon

56
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 5: was just such a great song my brother constantly, you know,

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 5: we whack it up.

58
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: Oh wow, man, I love that. You listen to the

59
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 4: deep cuts. Man, that's fun. Yeah, man, you know, we

60
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: were kids back then, but boy, we were having fun.

61
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 4: They gave they gave us money in the Keys to

62
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: the Kingdom to do whatever we wanted with these records,

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: and we produced ourselves and we loved every minute of

64
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 4: being in that studio man, recording and creating. You know,

65
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 4: I mean I still I still get that buzz, you know,

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: I mean, but back then it was new, you know.

67
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. And when you come to Sydney, you are going

68
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: to be well, you've got a special guest. Who is

69
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 2: Christopher Cross? Is he a mate of yours? Do you

70
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 2: musically connect with?

71
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: Then?

72
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 2: How did this come about?

73
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 4: We all play on all those records? Oh really, that's

74
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: the funny, yeah man, We all used to be taking guys,

75
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 4: you know. So we played on a million records and uh,

76
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 4: you know, and christ has been a dear friend ever since.

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 5: And but you guys now affectionately known as yacht rock,

78
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 5: how do you feel about being in that category?

79
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: It's funny, you mean, man, it's think it's silly, silly

80
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 4: title for something I haven't done in thirty years. You know,

81
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 4: I played on all those records a million years ago

82
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: with all those artists that are considered yacht rocks. Yeah,

83
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: but I have no problem with it. If Steely Dan's

84
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 4: in the same sentence as us, I think that is

85
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: a great compliment. I love the Doobies, I love all

86
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 4: the musical You can call it what you want. Yeah,

87
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 4: you know, yeah, I preferred West Coast. I mean that

88
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: didn't sound of goofy. But you know what the title is,

89
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 4: the title. We've got a silly name for our band too,

90
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: So what can I say?

91
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 2: It is my favorite genre, I must say, And you

92
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: guys are absolutely.

93
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: So.

94
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: I'd have to go and buy yacht now.

95
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I don't know what makes the difference

96
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: between like say, the Eagles of Fleetwood Mac are they

97
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 4: yacht rock or not? You know, I thought, oh God,

98
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 4: here we go. But you know, I don't care anymore

99
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 4: at my age. And you know, if people want to

100
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 4: call it this or that that's fine. They come dig

101
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: the music, it comes to us playing stuff. God bless,

102
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 4: call me dickhead.

103
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 5: I don't as long as as long as they're as

104
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: long as they're paying for the streams, you don't care.

105
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I said what I said. I hoping I'm

Speaker 5: I love the double kicks and hold the Line, and

113
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,560
