Speaker 2 (01:09):
Good dude to it.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
He was actually cooking for us at the at the
Sunset Walk event the best of a challenge. Chili did
a good job, very delicious chili and so he we
put a Facebook post up every time that comes around
for the listeners, and Remy chose the Tower of Power
concert on NPR's Tiny Desk. Now, I love the Tiny
Desks series about Ryan. Are you a Tiny Desk guy?
Speaker 5 (01:31):
Love it?
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's great, right, Yeah, you know what you do that's
new should just be around Tiny Desk because if you
don't know about it, we are talking about something that
could change your life.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
The wet Leg show from Tiny Desk was as good
as it gets, so good. I mean, there are so
many great tiny leg or a tiny leg tiny Desk shows,
tiny legs, but as so many good shows, this was
a Tower of Power. I remember them as a It's
like a power funk soul band, right, That's kind of
what I remember. And I, you know, tuned in saw
(02:03):
the and saw it and that's exactly what it is.
You know what it reminded me of. It reminded me
of James Brown's backing band.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Oh see, it reminded me of War.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh did it really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah? Uh did you see some of it Ross? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, I just watched it on the break, and it
reminded me of the band that works at snl.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh really oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Lots of noise,
like lots of things going on, lots of saxes and
trumpets and you know, pianos, two or three guitars.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It was crazy. Did you happen to see any of it?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Ryan, I haven't seen this specific one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Ross was playing it in the background, so it sounded good,
which is is the most important part.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But they do a good job at tiny desk doing that.
Whoever engineers their shows, because the room really isn't that big,
you know that. Have you ever seen a shot from
the from the performers aspect?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I have, and it's very Yeah, that's that's the nerd
part where I nerd out on these things because to
Mike that many things, especially if they're doing drums and
other stuff, stuff that would bleed over enough and there
and they're not. There's no compression bleed or anything. So
it's it's fantastically well done. The one I saw recently
was like the was it Sesame Street? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, they did one.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
With the Muppets.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, but it wasn't there a was there a guest
host on that one? I cannot remember.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know it was that it was so cool
to see them just do the puppets in a room
full of crowded people and children and stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And I was watching that, I was like.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Is this ruining for the kids though? If they can
see all the.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I don't think they can see them though. Don't they
create like a facade there where they can They can't
see the puppet?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You think the camera you couldn't see the pump The
pumpetteers a very different video.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Here for that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, but when they get up and you know, after
the cameras are off, imagine they're they're seeing it. I
was like, maybe this is ruining their childhood. But like
my favorite ones are always like like Tee Paint. If
you see the t Paint one great. He is such
a likable dude. The guy from Third Eye Blind. Third
Eye Blind did it one even and he's crazy. But
they had They had an amazing tiny desk concert in
(03:55):
Florence and the machine were my top.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That guy Steve and I forget what his last name is,
the Leits or Third Eye Blind. Somebody told me that
one of the rooms here in Orlando, one of the
bigger rooms when he played their years and years and
years ago. Was the worst person he had ever Jenkins, Yeah,
he's insane. He was the worst human being he had
ever encountered his entire life.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I want to say.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
He was the stage manager for a House of Blues
at the time. This would have been fifteen fifteen years ago,
and he said the guy was a tyrant of a
human being.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They did the Orlando Music Festival back in the day
and The Third Eye Blind was the headliner, and everybody
came away stories of like, Steven Jenkins is the worst.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That cat is the poison.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
His third eye is blind.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeahah, he can't.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He has no spiritual feelings.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The other one that was kind of fun is Juvenile
did a show durprisingly good.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Juveniles was really really good.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I didn't know what kind of shape that cat was in.
I haven't heard that name in forever. I saw it
pop up, I was like, let's see it. And he
killed it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And So if you don't know what Tiny Desk is,
it's brought to you by and produced by MPR. They
grab a band, they put it didn't know what is
it like a office? It looks like an office space
and they record a live special.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Taylor Swift did one. Yeah, I mean here's ago Taylor
Swift did one. So, I mean it's the biggest artist
out there. Do it. It's very cool. It's kind of
like the new you made it.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
If you do a tiny desk, you've hit a different
stratosphere that other entertainers have not entered.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is it Nile Rodgers, the guy from Chic the guitar
player who wrote a lot of that?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is it? That is that?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Who?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That is deb who wrote a lot of that stuff
for Chic the disco stuff back in the day.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Aw freak out.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I'm happy to say I know the answer to that,
and the answer is yes. And because I went down
to Niles Rogers wormhole when Daft Punk picks up on
him and started working with him.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Matter of fact, that's exactly like.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So if you watch the Niles rot Nile Rodgers one
the NPR Tiny's NPR dot org. By the way, I
believe when you want to check it out, there's some
there's a really special side thing that happens in there.
And the side thing that happens in there is very
fun because what you don't realize is Niles Rogers band
wrote that song so Glow soul Glow for Coming to
(06:07):
America the Eddie Murphy movie, and when the guy has that,
you know, the the Afro sheen kind of stuff, the
treatment for African American hairdoos right right, it's that whatever
that the sheen is. It was called soul Glow in
the movie. And they played an entire like clip of
soul glow. Well, that band does that song and the
(06:29):
keyboard player is the singer of that song, and they
do it during his tiny desk and it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It sounds exactly like the movie.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So what did you say. I've never heard of Tower
of Power. When you guys first said Tower of Power,
I thought of Goofy movie.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah. No, I thought it was actually a backup band
power Line.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, power Lines. Yeah. I wasn't that far off.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I thought it was like a backup band for years.
But I don't think that's the case. But again, it's
it's good music. It's again it's it's like power funk
soul kind of music. It is like James Brown's backing
band kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The thing for me is is a lot of it
sounds alike to me, like a lot of the songs
wind up kind of sounding alike.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
So yeah, just that style.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's just that style.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I mean, you could probably make that argument with a
number of bands, but for some reason, this one just
kind of hit me as a bit monotonous. I love
the first like maybe twenty minutes of it, and then
after that I was like, oh, it's the same kind
of song, but still good.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Eighteen minutes long.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well I watched half of it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I watched half of it and then and then
fast forward and see if it was any different. It
was the same stuff, so uh, still good and very entertaining,
very emotional driven music. It makes you want to run
out in like a white T shirt while it's raining
and just sing into the into the clouds.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That's whatever I hear. Really Yeah, whenever I hear this music,
I get like DiAngelo music video real fast.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh do you just say that what he died today?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
He did not Angelo.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I died today, fifty one years old. It's amazing you
dropped that and did not know that. Yeah, D'Angelo died
pancreatic cancer. He'd been fighting it for a while or
not a while. Pancreatic takes up pretty early, but yeah,
he'd fought pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And you just killed D'Angelo.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I haven't said the word thought of wow, name di'angelo.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Front page news this morning in a decade.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I've been busy all morning. I haven't looked at a
computer screen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm not dogging you.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I just seemed kind of blown away with my powers.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah all right, so I've got a little something. Thanks
for me, by the way, we appreciate the heads up.
And then I tell you that real quick.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Just on that topic of soul music, because I hit
a rabbit hole that I'm so glad I hit. And look,
say what you want about AI. Okay, like AI music
is going to be a controversial. But this dude on
YouTube named the Professor started to take in like rock
songs and turning them into soul songs. And I just
like heard corns Freak on a leash as a soul song.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Just check it. Just a quick clip of that's.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh yeah, sure I've heard. I just heard this down
to another song that is great and.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It's going to uber viral. Yeah, it's it's wacky. How
good this is though?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Something takes dude something never it's too good.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Time to lose AI.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
This is all AI's not a real voice.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And this is unprecedented to me because I've never enjoyed
an AI song until this went viral. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, the mashups with the beat there being the same
that went around for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That was great. That's crazy, dude.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yeah, it's too good.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And I'm a hater of AI music, even though like
I make it, I'll do it. I'm rejoins for sometimes
with the Monsters because it's quick and it's fast and dirty.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But I don't like.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know that there's songs that have been released like that,
but like I've missed out on soul music.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Like, to be honest, it fully missed me.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And I must have listened to fifteen of these AI
songs and then started listening to soul music.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I f in love it, dude. That is get down music.
You know. Hell yeah, how's your girl feel about it?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, dude, that's that's a great I mean, after six
o'clock some bourbon, there ain't.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Nothing in the world like some soul music.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Sip some bourbon, put on my gators and start cutting
a rug.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I learned a little new about Ryan Holmes. Had no
idea it was a soul man. I love it.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Yeah, like as somebody who know, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
There's tom I for you guys, always in silence, never
put on music while I'm getting down, And since I
found out about soul music, the.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Entire weekend was great.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. Really, you're a silent banger.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I always have been.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Real.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I get taken out of it, like I'll start humming along.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Definitely been a problem when I do start mouthing the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Oh my god, that's even worse.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Oh no, So it's got to be a dark scenario too, right, you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Ever been in this?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Yeah, no lights on?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, no, no lights on, Like we're in a ca
man hiding from bears.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're in time out.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Yeah that sounds so properly Protestant.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
It's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And right has time out sex.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Yeah, it's all missionary at the corner.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That style.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It's not good too, because we're in the YouTube generation.
So you'll put on music via YouTube. So and then
halfway through you get like a like a weird musin
ex commercial recruited by Ice every time.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, hold on, I gotta skip ad Ice ads.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I get horny. It's I gotta get bang too, A
bun jorno bit now and.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Then you have to wait forty five seconds to skip
in ads and now you're just standing naked.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And for us, it's like we'll be letting in bed.
Then of course, all of a sudden you'll start kind
of caressing each other. It will start happening. Half of
my sex happ happens to paused ninety D fiance, like
where we're watching and then we pause it. Yeah, and
then that's the still shot of that is what I get.
So it's some dude mid slap. Yeah, ours a lot
of love is blind. But yeah, oh my wife loves
(11:57):
that one too. Oh have you watched it all this season?
Let me tell these people are the worst ones I've
ever picked. Let me tell you, man, it's wild. I've
said this a thousand times. You'll start like I'll be
on my phone my wife or with the show. We
have a and I'm gonna talk about this a little
bit later, but we have an agreement. Like there's a
story I have today about a guy who gets super
pissed off because his wife doesn't watch football with him.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Writer, his girlfriend doesn't watch.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Football, and my wife hates football as well, but she
will lay there and let me play with her hair
and you know, or do whatever while we watch football.
But we have we have a one to one TV
ratio agreement that if I get to watch an entire
day of football, that means whatever she chooses hour by
hour to watch, I have to just deal with it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And that's kind of how we deal with the breaking
up the TV stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, A lot of guys don't have that, Like they
don't like doing that. Like your wife wants to watch
football with you, A lot of guys don't even like that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I love it. My wife's hangs out watch football with me.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I'm very much a believer in the mirroring whatever
I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
That seems to help.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Like so even though she's not paying attention to me
when I'm in watching you hear whatever, it's like that
she's there right as he's not hanging out.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The presence matters. All Right, I'm gonna give your what
you do this soon for next week. You're gonna love it?
You ready, yes, just getting just kidding, all right, just
getting premature.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I get so excited premature. Did you open in some
soul music?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
That's how my son happened?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
All right? W you ready? All right?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think this is the most important hip hop band ever.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
This is my opinion.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Oh no, Blackhound Gang.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No, I am punching you and your beard as soon
as we get done with this segment. A swift punch
to the beard. This is the most important hip hop
band ever. According to Jim Colwart, I want you to
listen to it. Takes a nation of millions to hold
us back by public enemy. Okay, it is when you
got to remember, this record was made and I believe
(13:54):
eighty four or five or six something like that in
the mid eighties, and it is a It is an
album of pure rebellion. And if you want to hear that,
what I think hip hop started as, and this is
what rock and roll would have started as, is a
music of rebellion. I think Chuck d has the best
hip hop voice of all time, and I do believe
(14:15):
he's one of the better lyricists.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
But because of the nature of their hip hop, it
doesn't have a lot of bass or anything like that
in it. It is just very street and I want
you to listen to it. It takes a nation of
millions to hold us back by the great public enemy.
That's my that's my suggestion. For next week.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
All right, all right, four.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh seven nine one six one four one text us
at seven seven zero three one. Grady Judd is in
a little trouble. We love Grady, we love the thermist
stories from Grady. But this one is a little bit,
a little bit different for Grady. I'll explain next.

The wet Leg show from Tiny Desk was as good
as it gets, so good. I mean, there are so
many great tiny leg or a tiny leg tiny Desk shows,
tiny legs, but as so many good shows, this was
a Tower of Power. I remember them as a It's
like a power funk soul band, right, That's kind of
what I remember. And I, you know, tuned in saw
(02:03):
the and saw it and that's exactly what it is.
You know what it reminded me of. It reminded me
of James Brown's backing band.
Speaker 6 (02:09):
Oh see, it reminded me of War.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Oh did it really? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Yeah? Uh did you see some of it Ross? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:15):
Yeah, I just watched it on the break, and it
reminded me of the band that works at snl.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Oh really oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Lots of noise,
like lots of things going on, lots of saxes and
trumpets and you know, pianos, two or three guitars.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
It was crazy. Did you happen to see any of it?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Ryan, I haven't seen this specific one.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Ross was playing it in the background, so it sounded good,
which is is the most important part.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
But they do a good job at tiny desk doing that.
Whoever engineers their shows, because the room really isn't that big,
you know that. Have you ever seen a shot from
the from the performers aspect?
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I have, and it's very Yeah, that's that's the nerd
part where I nerd out on these things because to
Mike that many things, especially if they're doing drums and
other stuff, stuff that would bleed over enough and there
and they're not. There's no compression bleed or anything. So
it's it's fantastically well done. The one I saw recently
was like the was it Sesame Street? Oh?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, they did one.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
With the Muppets.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Yeah, but it wasn't there a was there a guest
host on that one? I cannot remember.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't know it was that it was so cool
to see them just do the puppets in a room
full of crowded people and children and stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
And I was watching that, I was like.
Speaker 5 (03:20):
Is this ruining for the kids though? If they can
see all the.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I don't think they can see them though. Don't they
create like a facade there where they can They can't
see the puppet?
Speaker 3 (03:27):
You think the camera you couldn't see the pump The
pumpetteers a very different video.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
Yeah, that's.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Here for that.
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, but when they get up and you know, after
the cameras are off, imagine they're they're seeing it. I
was like, maybe this is ruining their childhood. But like
my favorite ones are always like like Tee Paint. If
you see the t Paint one great. He is such
a likable dude. The guy from Third Eye Blind. Third
Eye Blind did it one even and he's crazy. But
they had They had an amazing tiny desk concert in
(03:55):
Florence and the machine were my top.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
That guy Steve and I forget what his last name is,
the Leits or Third Eye Blind. Somebody told me that
one of the rooms here in Orlando, one of the
bigger rooms when he played their years and years and
years ago. Was the worst person he had ever Jenkins, Yeah,
he's insane. He was the worst human being he had
ever encountered his entire life.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I want to say.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
He was the stage manager for a House of Blues
at the time. This would have been fifteen fifteen years ago,
and he said the guy was a tyrant of a
human being.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
They did the Orlando Music Festival back in the day
and The Third Eye Blind was the headliner, and everybody
came away stories of like, Steven Jenkins is the worst.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
That cat is the poison.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
His third eye is blind.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Yeahah, he can't.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
He has no spiritual feelings.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I will tell you.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The other one that was kind of fun is Juvenile
did a show durprisingly good.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Dude.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Juveniles was really really good.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
I didn't know what kind of shape that cat was in.
I haven't heard that name in forever. I saw it
pop up, I was like, let's see it. And he
killed it.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
And So if you don't know what Tiny Desk is,
it's brought to you by and produced by MPR. They
grab a band, they put it didn't know what is
it like a office? It looks like an office space
and they record a live special.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Taylor Swift did one. Yeah, I mean here's ago Taylor
Swift did one. So, I mean it's the biggest artist
out there. Do it. It's very cool. It's kind of
like the new you made it.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
If you do a tiny desk, you've hit a different
stratosphere that other entertainers have not entered.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Is it Nile Rodgers, the guy from Chic the guitar
player who wrote a lot of that?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
Is it? That is that?
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Who?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That is deb who wrote a lot of that stuff
for Chic the disco stuff back in the day.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Aw freak out.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
I'm happy to say I know the answer to that,
and the answer is yes. And because I went down
to Niles Rogers wormhole when Daft Punk picks up on
him and started working with him.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Matter of fact, that's exactly like.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So if you watch the Niles rot Nile Rodgers one
the NPR Tiny's NPR dot org. By the way, I
believe when you want to check it out, there's some
there's a really special side thing that happens in there.
And the side thing that happens in there is very
fun because what you don't realize is Niles Rogers band
wrote that song so Glow soul Glow for Coming to
(06:07):
America the Eddie Murphy movie, and when the guy has that,
you know, the the Afro sheen kind of stuff, the
treatment for African American hairdoos right right, it's that whatever
that the sheen is. It was called soul Glow in
the movie. And they played an entire like clip of
soul glow. Well, that band does that song and the
(06:29):
keyboard player is the singer of that song, and they
do it during his tiny desk and it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It sounds exactly like the movie.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
So what did you say. I've never heard of Tower
of Power. When you guys first said Tower of Power,
I thought of Goofy movie.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah. No, I thought it was actually a backup band
power Line.
Speaker 4 (06:46):
Yeah, power Lines. Yeah. I wasn't that far off.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I thought it was like a backup band for years.
But I don't think that's the case. But again, it's
it's good music. It's again it's it's like power funk
soul kind of music. It is like James Brown's backing
band kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
It's good.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
The thing for me is is a lot of it
sounds alike to me, like a lot of the songs
wind up kind of sounding alike.
Speaker 5 (07:08):
So yeah, just that style.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
It's just that style.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
I mean, you could probably make that argument with a
number of bands, but for some reason, this one just
kind of hit me as a bit monotonous. I love
the first like maybe twenty minutes of it, and then
after that I was like, oh, it's the same kind
of song, but still good.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Eighteen minutes long.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Well I watched half of it.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, I watched half of it and then and then
fast forward and see if it was any different. It
was the same stuff, so uh, still good and very entertaining,
very emotional driven music. It makes you want to run
out in like a white T shirt while it's raining
and just sing into the into the clouds.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
That's whatever I hear. Really Yeah, whenever I hear this music,
I get like DiAngelo music video real fast.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Oh do you just say that what he died today?
Speaker 4 (08:00):
He did not Angelo.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I died today, fifty one years old. It's amazing you
dropped that and did not know that. Yeah, D'Angelo died
pancreatic cancer. He'd been fighting it for a while or
not a while. Pancreatic takes up pretty early, but yeah,
he'd fought pancreatic cancer.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And you just killed D'Angelo.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
I haven't said the word thought of wow, name di'angelo.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Front page news this morning in a decade.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I've been busy all morning. I haven't looked at a
computer screen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm not dogging you.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
I know.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I just seemed kind of blown away with my powers.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Yeah all right, so I've got a little something. Thanks
for me, by the way, we appreciate the heads up.
And then I tell you that real quick.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Just on that topic of soul music, because I hit
a rabbit hole that I'm so glad I hit. And look,
say what you want about AI. Okay, like AI music
is going to be a controversial. But this dude on
YouTube named the Professor started to take in like rock
songs and turning them into soul songs. And I just
like heard corns Freak on a leash as a soul song.
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Just check it. Just a quick clip of that's.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Oh yeah, sure I've heard. I just heard this down
to another song that is great and.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
It's going to uber viral. Yeah, it's it's wacky. How
good this is though?
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Something takes dude something never it's too good.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Time to lose AI.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
This is all AI's not a real voice.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
And this is unprecedented to me because I've never enjoyed
an AI song until this went viral. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Well, the mashups with the beat there being the same
that went around for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That was great. That's crazy, dude.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Yeah, it's too good.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
And I'm a hater of AI music, even though like
I make it, I'll do it. I'm rejoins for sometimes
with the Monsters because it's quick and it's fast and dirty.
Speaker 5 (09:50):
But I don't like.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
I know that there's songs that have been released like that,
but like I've missed out on soul music.
Speaker 5 (09:55):
Like, to be honest, it fully missed me.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
And I must have listened to fifteen of these AI
songs and then started listening to soul music.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
I f in love it, dude. That is get down music.
You know. Hell yeah, how's your girl feel about it?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Yeah, dude, that's that's a great I mean, after six
o'clock some bourbon, there ain't.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Nothing in the world like some soul music.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Sip some bourbon, put on my gators and start cutting
a rug.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I learned a little new about Ryan Holmes. Had no
idea it was a soul man. I love it.
Speaker 5 (10:23):
Yeah, like as somebody who know, Like.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
There's tom I for you guys, always in silence, never
put on music while I'm getting down, And since I
found out about soul music, the.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
Entire weekend was great.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Yeah. Really, you're a silent banger.
Speaker 5 (10:39):
I always have been.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Real.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I get taken out of it, like I'll start humming along.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Definitely been a problem when I do start mouthing the lyrics.
Speaker 6 (10:47):
Oh my god, that's even worse.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
I know.
Speaker 6 (10:50):
Oh no, So it's got to be a dark scenario too, right, you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Ever been in this?
Speaker 5 (10:55):
Yeah, no lights on?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, no, no lights on, Like we're in a ca
man hiding from bears.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
You're in time out.
Speaker 6 (11:02):
Yeah that sounds so properly Protestant.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
It's the way to go.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
And right has time out sex.
Speaker 6 (11:08):
Yeah, it's all missionary at the corner.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
That style.
Speaker 4 (11:12):
It's not good too, because we're in the YouTube generation.
So you'll put on music via YouTube. So and then
halfway through you get like a like a weird musin
ex commercial recruited by Ice every time.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, yeah, hold on, I gotta skip ad Ice ads.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I get horny. It's I gotta get bang too, A
bun jorno bit now and.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
Then you have to wait forty five seconds to skip
in ads and now you're just standing naked.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
And for us, it's like we'll be letting in bed.
Then of course, all of a sudden you'll start kind
of caressing each other. It will start happening. Half of
my sex happ happens to paused ninety D fiance, like
where we're watching and then we pause it. Yeah, and
then that's the still shot of that is what I get.
So it's some dude mid slap. Yeah, ours a lot
of love is blind. But yeah, oh my wife loves
(11:57):
that one too. Oh have you watched it all this season?
Let me tell these people are the worst ones I've
ever picked. Let me tell you, man, it's wild. I've
said this a thousand times. You'll start like I'll be
on my phone my wife or with the show. We
have a and I'm gonna talk about this a little
bit later, but we have an agreement. Like there's a
story I have today about a guy who gets super
pissed off because his wife doesn't watch football with him.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Writer, his girlfriend doesn't watch.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Football, and my wife hates football as well, but she
will lay there and let me play with her hair
and you know, or do whatever while we watch football.
But we have we have a one to one TV
ratio agreement that if I get to watch an entire
day of football, that means whatever she chooses hour by
hour to watch, I have to just deal with it.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And that's kind of how we deal with the breaking
up the TV stuff.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, A lot of guys don't have that, Like they
don't like doing that. Like your wife wants to watch
football with you, A lot of guys don't even like that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I love it. My wife's hangs out watch football with me.
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Yeah, I'm very much a believer in the mirroring whatever
I'm doing.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
That seems to help.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Like so even though she's not paying attention to me
when I'm in watching you hear whatever, it's like that
she's there right as he's not hanging out.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
The presence matters. All Right, I'm gonna give your what
you do this soon for next week. You're gonna love it?
You ready, yes, just getting just kidding, all right, just
getting premature.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
I get so excited premature. Did you open in some
soul music?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
That's how my son happened?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
All right? W you ready? All right?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
I think this is the most important hip hop band ever.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
This is my opinion.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Oh no, Blackhound Gang.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
No, I am punching you and your beard as soon
as we get done with this segment. A swift punch
to the beard. This is the most important hip hop
band ever. According to Jim Colwart, I want you to
listen to it. Takes a nation of millions to hold
us back by public enemy. Okay, it is when you
got to remember, this record was made and I believe
(13:54):
eighty four or five or six something like that in
the mid eighties, and it is a It is an
album of pure rebellion. And if you want to hear that,
what I think hip hop started as, and this is
what rock and roll would have started as, is a
music of rebellion. I think Chuck d has the best
hip hop voice of all time, and I do believe
(14:15):
he's one of the better lyricists.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Of all time.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
But because of the nature of their hip hop, it
doesn't have a lot of bass or anything like that
in it. It is just very street and I want
you to listen to it. It takes a nation of
millions to hold us back by the great public enemy.
That's my that's my suggestion. For next week.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
All right, all right, four.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Oh seven nine one six one four one text us
at seven seven zero three one. Grady Judd is in
a little trouble. We love Grady, we love the thermist
stories from Grady. But this one is a little bit,
a little bit different for Grady. I'll explain next.
