Speaker 1 (00:00):
Speaking of people writing songs for other people, let me
do something. I'm gonna go stab Blazer in the van
Halen iye right now as he finds this out the
song I'll Wait That was during the David Lee Roth era.
Are you familiar with our wait Till the Sun Comes Down? No?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
And I'm glad of not. I mean I heard it.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
But I mean it's pretty good. So it was good
van Halen song. But they got they got through the song,
or about three quarters away through the song, and they
couldn't finish it. They just they came. They had a block,
a mental block, if you will, when it came to
finishing the song I'll Wait. And so the the producer
Ted Templeton said, I know a guy, and he calls
(00:44):
in a guy who ends up writing pretty much like
the last third of our Wait for van Halen. But
he didn't get any credit for being a co writer
on the song. However, as I understand it, the royalties
he made from the song made him more money than
any other song he'd written, so he was okay with it.
(01:06):
He the most ununderstandable person in American popular music during
my lifetime, but ridiculously successful. You know who that is
Michael McDonald, Oh, from the Dewie Brothers. That's who they
called in to finish writing. I'll wait for van Halen.
(01:27):
I just I got music in my head right now
because Blazer. Blame Blazer. While I'm thinking about van Halen.
Sammy Hagar is going to play five dates in the UK.
It's a big deal because he hasn't done it for
like a quarter of a century, but he's going to
go back and he says, this is it done, touring, done, concerting,
(01:48):
finished with it, and he's going to do a deep
dive into his van Halen era stuff.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh that's exciting.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Yes, it was forty five years ago. I believe to
night if I'm not mistaken that the NBC television movie
was Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Opera.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Didn't I do a Christmas one?
Speaker 1 (02:13):
No, that was just made up that you're thinking of
the Scooby Doo episode or the South Park episode.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Where I don't know, I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Our family guy episode, Kiss Saves Christmas, That's what it was, Loish,
I gotta watch Kiss Saves Christmas. Yeah, that was that's
that was completely made up. That's awesome, Thank goodness for that.
And I've had five messages now from people who wanted
to say, you didn't take any phone calls when we
(02:41):
were talking about what's her name again, the.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
The Good Jeans girl, Sidney Sweeney.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Sidney Sweeney, Yeah, and her being approached about being a
Bond girl. So Mark and I were kind of talking
about the talking about, you know, the whole Bond theme
song thing, and so people starting you didn't take any podcasts.
My favorite is oh stop it, except for the two
(03:07):
people who said live and let Die, which was probably
the Bond song that I hate. Well, not quite as
much as the Duran Durand song, but I hated that song.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
I've never actually watched an entire Bond movie.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
What I remember watching with my brother and my dad
as a kid, but I I've never sat down and like,
watched a Bond movie.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
That's crazy. You're nuts too, and I just I'll tell
you what. There has not been a better all all
around James Bond as far as I'm concerned, than Daniel Craig.
He he was Bond, he did it beautifully.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
I started to watch one of his when the bad
guy was the guy from a No Country from Old Men.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
I think it was quantumous Is that right, quantumus si?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
I can't remember, but the beginning of it was good.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
But he was He was a wonderful Bond. I'm sorry
that he has now left the franchise. I grew up
with Roger Moore, and I really liked Roger Moore basically
because of the sense of humor that he that he
brought to the character. He was kind of a a
clown Bond, which was cool, unlike the you know, Sean
(04:25):
Connery who was just wanted to be thin and suave.
Pierce Brosnan. I did not dislike, however, I just I
felt like I was watching Remington Steel on a bigger screen.
He just he never really caught on with me. And
(04:47):
whoever the next woman is going to be to play
James Bond, I don't know if I like or not.
That's what they keep talking about, having a James having
a woman James Bond, which is wrong. It's sacrilege. Shouldn't
be done. I Ian Fleming wrote, James Bond, not Jane Bond.
(05:08):
And I say this about the superheroes every time they
want to make a superhero black instead of white, or
gay instead of straight, or whatever, come up with something
new and stop appropriating my stuff. You've already well Black
Panther wasn't that pretty successful at the box office? Yeah,
(05:29):
like a billion? Okay, So it's not like people who
are into the comic books and the superheroes and stuff
are gonna, oh no, I can't, I can't go because
that's a black person.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
That was a huge movie.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Okay, So they don't care. They just want the entertainment,
they just want the action, and just come up with
another Black Panther. Come up with another something. But stop
this ridiculousness where you go, well, yeah, Superman needs to
be black. It's time for a black Superman. No. First
of all, I don't know if there were black people
(06:02):
on Krypton because it had didn't have three sons. I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
I can't remember that. Yeah, I don't know, because everybody
may have like no melan them because of that powerful son,
the Krypton son happens, So there may not have been
black people on his planet for all I know. Stop
trying to change what has already been. And uh, and
then there's always some you know, intellectual comic book PhD
(06:31):
that because we were to the original intention of the
Superman characters. Sit down, shut up.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Man Comic book nerds are nerd. I'm a nerd about
a lot of stuff or certain things, but Man comic book.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
And they talk like it's real stuff. Well, but you
don't understand it's Collel's father, Jorel was actually a descendant
of No, you don't know that. Stop making stuff up
to fit your agenda. Speak about real craziness instead of
fake craziness and leave mine alone. Get your own. I
(07:07):
still can't get sugar Walls out of my head. I
know it's funny, and it is funny, as much as
I hate that song and is now just it's bouncing,
it's bouncing around my head anyway. Yes, I will get
onto stuff that is more.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
There's nothing more important.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Why there's nothing more important out there than what we're
talking about now.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I want to talk a little bit about the police
officer who is now a police officer again? Is that okay?
Do I have your blessing to do that? I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
We'll see during the break.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
No, I want to know now because if it's if
I don't have your blessing, I'm not going to do it. Seriously, yeah,
I hate you so much.
