Speaker 1 (00:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (00:09):
So the Rock and the Hall of Fame was Saturday
night and the big induction ceremony and it was on
Disney Plus. And like what they do now is they
take it and run a very condensed a version of
it around the holidays. I don't love. So I watched
it all streamed it. I want to make sure I
cover everything here. It started at four o'clock, okay, so

(00:32):
they know it's started at seven. They had we had
a misprint in our I Heart email. Yeah, because I
was like.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
What, yeah, call him out rad MESSI.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
So they opened with a tribute to slic Stone, which
is you know he passed away, so you have questlove
on the drums. Stevie wonder Beck's playing guitar. Maxwell and
Jennifer Hudson come out flee on bass, just jumping around.
One of all these people is not like the other
and it's flea. He was the only shirtless one.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
He did fumble his line on dance to the music,
but we're gonna let him. All he had to say
is I'm gonna add some bottom and uh he didn't
get it out.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
It was very weird.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
So Mick Fleetwood comes out looking like Santa Claus and
he inducts a bad company. Bad Company had Ryan Adams
and Chris Robinson doing the singing though.

Speaker 5 (01:20):
Oh, Chris Robinson's a great choice to do Paul Rodgers.
They've got very similar voices.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
They feel like making love blah blah blah. That's how
the show starts.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Wildcatter, Uh, Paul, I don't know that I consider him
a wildcatter because he said he was more in the
I don't want to say in the pocket. That sounds rhythm,
but he didn't do the high reaches that wildcatters are
known to do.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
There's a whole wildcatter wildcatter portion of of the night,
and we'll get to in a second.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Missy Elliott inducted Salt and Peppa. They brought out in
Vogue and kid and play perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
That was really fun and I was like sitting there going,
that's kind of lit, like this is this is a
long event, so you want some energy towards the back.
Was a little nervous that we were a little top
heavy there.

Speaker 5 (02:06):
Okay, when Sultan Pepa went up to do their speech,
did Dallas Residence Spinderella join them on stage?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
She absolutely did badass, absolutely badass, of course, no, the
whole Yes, I love it. Yes, And she is the
first female DJ and inducted into the rock and roll.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Oh that's kick ass. That's great. You know what's great.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
About this is you have the induction speech, you know
from some legend, but then they show you a ten minute,
you know, short film of the band's career and it's
all so good.

Speaker 5 (02:34):
And I think for most people they probably know them
from What a Man, What a Man, What a mighty
good Man within Vogue. But you guys got to understand
before you were born, when Ben and I were going
to spring break in South Padre Island, there was no
bigger song than Push It.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh no, I mean it was so massive. Yeah, it
was so massive. Uh.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
David Letterman inducted Warren Zevonne and the speech was really long,
but it was great. And then the killers came out
and laid lawyers, guns and money. Okay, I'm gonna play
you a little David Letterman audio in the next segment.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
In the Big Finish cool Iggy Pop inducted the White
Stripes makes sense.

Speaker 3 (03:10):
I'm gonna play you some iggy Pop audio that you
have to hear in the next segment, because man, that
was a wild ride of a speech.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Good lord, he's a real wild one, Kevin said.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
Then Olivia Rodrigo and Feist play I believe that we're
gonna be friends. And then the twenty one Pilots played
seven Nation Army, and that's when it kind of hit me. Man,
some of these artists probably hate when these people go
out and do tributes to them.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Because I had to tell you, I kind of am
okay with all of these artists.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
I really like Fists, twenty one pots and it sucked
like the twenty one pilots made seven Nation Army about themselves,
had the cameras come in on their face.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
They put added a little piano part to it. Yeah,
and I was like, why, why why.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I saw a lot of controversy on that, and they
were like, this is what artists do you know. They
put their own spin on it. I'm like, not, they're
getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Thing of the night is tonight. It's not about can
I can I? I think all this is fair.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Let me just say I think the greatest moment in
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame history is when
Prince made while my guitar gently weeps about himself, and
I still think it's the greatest thing I've maybe ever
seen on stage. Sure no one knew he was doing it.
Bally appeared on stage. He threw down a solo that
made everyone weep, and then his guitar disappeared into space

(04:29):
and he was gone.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Also, Prince, I know, I know. I'm just I'm with you.
I'm with you. I'm just saying, you know.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Donald Glover inducted outcast. By the way, I'm sorry, Meg
White was not there. Donald Glover inducted outcast. Big Boy
performed with Killer Mike, Janelle Monet, Jesus Dude. She ruined, Hey,
ya made it about herself on the planet Man miss
some lines. Tyler the Creator was great when he came out,

(04:55):
Andred three thousand was there and did the speech but
did not perform.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
This kind of weird that one of them would go perform.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
I got it.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
He also cried ye.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Jim Carrey inducted Soundgarden, Taylor Momson did Rusty Cage, Brandy
Carlile did Black Hole Sun, and then Chris Cornell's daughter
Tony sag Fell on Black Days Wow with one of
the Heart Chicks.

Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah the Wi.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
Wow uh.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Chapel Rone inducted Cindy Lauper. She did true colors time
after time and girls just want to have fun. And
then Salt and Peppa came back out, and Avril Levine
was there was very weird. Chapel Rone is wearing the
weirdest thing to which everyone goes, honey tonight, it's just
not about you.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
And then Brian Adams inducted Joe Cocker and this was
the wildcat portion of the night. A thing, a rate lift,
teddy swims all came out and then they ended with
with a little help for my friends.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
And that's how the night end. How did you enjoy
the wildcatterpart?

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I was so tired and ready for it. I just
thought like outcast or solid Devo or the white stripes
should have been at the end.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
And view Samseel Albert sucked the life out of the room.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, whether speech or just or And then well the
songs too, I mean true colors and time after time.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
They're snoozers, but they're pretty so. But but coming up
next is the highlights portion, along with another Romo gasm
of the Week, Iggy Pop's speech was insane and I
have that for you and and skin Show ninety seven
point one the Eagle. This segment right here is brought
to you by Rollertown Beer Works. That's the brewery that

(06:37):
Ben and I are partners in, right there on Main
Street and Frisco by Toyota Stadium, right there at the
base of the silos and Ben, you were there on
Saturday and said it was just unbelievable. Yeah, it was
awesome all day long, kids, baseball teams, just families out
there having a great time. And then Saturday night it
was a free music show and Paul Saddi was there.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
I think that's his name.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
Taylor Swift's guitarist, and he has an Eagles tribute band
and a Tom Petty tribute band, so he did two
different sets and it was their first time to get
out and do shows together with that band, and dude,
it was phenomenal. And then the drone show after and
then there was a drone show that happened while they
were on stage performing. It was really special, and so
there's all these cool events coming up. The music events

(07:21):
aren't always free. Sometimes they are Follow roller Town on
social media to find out more about that, but I
actually bought tickets on Friday night to go see Ryman
and Steeling Beastie Boys cover band. We love these dudes.
Some of these guys are listeners of ours. I think
they live in Austin now, but they're coming to town
to Perry rod Towse.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
They're so good.

Speaker 5 (07:37):
They look and sound just like the Beastie Boys. Sau
go get your tickets now before it sells out. Yeah,
that's going to be an absolute party. Always have great
food options, valet parking, free valley parking on the weekends
for during the shows and stuff.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
So more gra is.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
And of course, as you're out and about at your
favorite restaurants or bars, asked for Rollertown beer Works by
name Benny Keith as our distributor, Bennie Keith Distributor to
make sure that your favorite restaurant or bar has Rollertown
beer Works.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
But right now it's time for this kill and that's big.

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Big told you that Iggy Pop did the speech for
the White Stripes, and I just basically pulled a montage
of his speech, the weird stuff from his speech if
you hear another voice in there too. I also was
also had a separate file. I was working on of
pulling every time someone mentioned Meg White's drumming by passively

(08:34):
offending her. Okay, just like accident. No one has played
more simplistically like all that type of stuff. It happened
so many times. So but this is the wild iggy
pop speech and montage.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
There will be drop scalore from this, Christina, I gotta
get this out of my system.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
Don't don't dn't don't don't duh.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Duh dun dunt dunt dun du the top top top top.
I wrote a speech that's more boring. All right, let
me see if I can read this shit.

Speaker 4 (09:13):
Ye has some kind of fun secret, Like they stole
some cookies from a cookie jar?

Speaker 2 (09:18):
They look really young? Is he turning into Bill Walton?
This ses laugh? Cookie jar? They look really young. That's
the same guy he is laughing.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
He brings up a good point though, by the way,
about seven Nation Army, you can make a strong argument
that it's the greatest riff in rock history.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Also that clip, Jack White looked like he was tearing
up when the entire crowd started doing that along with him,
Like it's a really cool moment.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
Basically, I was looking at a twenty first century Adam
and Eve who had started a rock and roll band.
I thought, cute kids probably goalplace, and they did.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
They did god places.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
They played with bands like the Goryes and the Dirt Bombs.

Speaker 2 (10:07):
I love that, dude. Dirt Bombs.

Speaker 5 (10:10):
Yeah, have y'all heard the Dirt Bombs. They're badass. They're
a Detroit garage rock band. They're dope like that. That's
that was the thing that was happening when they came up,
was the revival of garage rock. Y'all, y'all should check
out the Dirt Bombs. They're pretty cool, man.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
I love the name.

Speaker 7 (10:25):
Yeah, Meg White, Meg White, Meg White, who is a
timeless beauty. Meg White, who gave her name to the group,
was a charismatic, naturally likable person.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
I met her once. That's the story. Matter on story, dude, Jack,
I matter once.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Please understand that it is a miracle that you got
Iggy Pop to just get up there.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
And you know, Jack, is he wearing a shirt? Yeah? Okay.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
Jack could screech like an owl. He could twang like
a hillbilly. She played the drums for the benefit of
her band. She gave the drum kid a good whack.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Just crazy. He's right, she gave it a good whack.

Speaker 5 (11:30):
I mean, I don't know a lot about the band,
but my perception is always that Jack just like, no, just.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Get back there and play drums. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (11:36):
Yeah, I mean that's the whole thing is Like she
was like, I want to be a drummer. He's like, no,
just go play drums.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Will be fine.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Yeah, that's exactly what it was. And he liked the
idea of having two people in a band. He'd played
in tons of bands, a bunch of people. He's like, well,
if we just had two also, probably just.

Speaker 2 (11:49):
Let him go.

Speaker 3 (11:49):
Look, I'm effing awesome. Okay, I'm a prodigy here, but
he is put that back behind me.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
I don't make it happen.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
This is another case of celebrities being unable for a
second to not make it about them. Jim Carrey, he
had a really good speech for Soundguard, by the way,
and you could tell he was a real fan.

Speaker 6 (12:10):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:10):
He hosted Saturday Not Live with Soundguard in nineteen ninety six.
But I didn't have Fire Marshall Bill on my bingo card.
I did whoa he did?

Speaker 5 (12:20):
I remember I said, what if Jim Carrey does the
speech as fire Marshall Bill.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
He did say that, well, here we go.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
After the show, they handed me what is to this
day one of my most prized possessions, the Fender telecaster
Chris played.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
On the show, signed by the whole band. Pay no
attention to the burn marks on the pit guard.

Speaker 6 (12:39):
Someone backstage unless you're playing with matches.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's what Brandon Carlisle sounds like.

Speaker 3 (12:51):
Great, it was kind of cool too, the whole Taylor
Mom's the thing, and we talked about it last week.
But just the fact that she was in the branch
as the kid and came out into the song and
he did the speech, yeah, which I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Soundguarden didn't have any ties to the Grinch movie, I
guess was that coincidence or on purpose?

Speaker 3 (13:08):
Probably on purpose, yes, And she was qualified to go
sing their song She's a rusty Cage, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
So basically the.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
Idea is that whoever's going into the Hall of Fame,
they don't perform, and everybody comes out as a tribute
to them and performs their stuff. Well, they play if
they're there, right, Okay, There's also been bands that have
been there that didn't play. Yeah, Soundgarden played just without
Chris Cornell, and she usually like a bunch of people
in a big jam though, like they mix it all up.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
Jack White was put in a position with Meg not
doing it, that it's weird if he does it. He
could have gone out and played and someone playing the drums.
But when you're a duo, I mean, it's it's like
so it's like the outcast thing was a little weird
because he's in the building.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Yeah, and you know, it's just kind of kind of strange.
That's kind of part of their dynamic. Though his big
boy has always been like, Hey, that's my homie. I
know he's weird to everybody, but that's my homie. I
I do me, he does he, and that's how we are.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
David Letterman tells his quick Warren zevonn story and about
a guitar that Warren Zevon gave him.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Well, Austin, sorry, the.

Speaker 6 (14:12):
Last time I saw Warren. He's got a guitar there
that he's used every time he's appeared on our show.
He hands it to me and he says, take care
of this for me. So for twenty two years, I
have taken care of the guitar.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Tonight, it's going back to work.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
I'm again.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
To the killers. That's awesome.

Speaker 7 (14:33):
I'm a desperate man.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
His video was very cool.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
But because I didn't know a ton about Warren Zyvon,
but I knew the David Letterman connection, but I forgot
he went on his show to say that he's got
lung cancer.

Speaker 5 (14:47):
That's the last show he ever played. Wasn't that His
last public performance was on Dave. I don't know if
that's efficial, but I think I thought it was, but
I could be wrong, and it is.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
You know, in Dave's last forty days of shows too
on CBS and and the Big Takeaway, I mean, he's
like interview and even like he's up there and they
show it in the film and he goes, man, your
life has changed drastically. He talks about it, and the
quote that he said multiple times and Dave said multiple
times to speech was enjoy every sandwich.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
That's what he learned. That's fantastic.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
That's incredible, great way to think about it. So it's
so good, very good. You can watch it whenever you
want to and wherever you want to get it, if
you want to pay for it. Heyse pluses raised and
the prices though, so I don't.

Speaker 5 (15:26):
Know the other takeaway, great things start in small rooms.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Oh yes, that was great. That was great.

Speaker 5 (15:32):
That was Andre's big takeaway quote, great things start in
small rooms.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Did Jack White say that too or something?

Speaker 3 (15:39):
I think he was setting yeah, because Alkas he was
like Jack, we love you man.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
And then so I don't know if that's exactly what
Jack said. There's a Jack speech was long too, so
it was like just you.

Speaker 5 (15:50):
Know, for context, when out Cast came out, they were
from the South, and then there's this whole New York
hip hop aesthetic and they were all like, well you
didn't come up in the parks and all this stuff.
And Andre, I don't want to butcher, but actually had
a rhyme about, hey man, we grew up doing what
y'all did. We just did it in apartment buildings. You know,
we drew we did it in our little small room.
He didn't say small rooms, but that was the implying, like, hey,

(16:11):
that was our environment, man, we weren't trying to do it.
So it kind of ties back to Outcast history of
getting booed when they went to New York and all
this stuff.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
So what song did Outcasts do. They did pretty much everything,
so they just left his verses out. No what they
had people out there to do, I mean his verses on.
But they did. They did. Hey, I like the way
you move the whole world. They kind of went in order.

Speaker 3 (16:35):
They did Italians. Oh what did they do after that?
That that they did? Miss Jackson?

Speaker 2 (16:40):
Who they would have to I mean, that's sore, so
they would have to. Yeah, it was. It was good.
It was really good.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
I thought they should have been last, honestly, because that
was like the party vibe type thing. They haven't played
together since twenty fourteen. Wow, bad gum. Do we have
time for the remogasm of how long is it twenty second?

Speaker 6 (16:58):
Do it?

Speaker 3 (16:59):
Yeah, it's not really a gasm, do it? We don't
have time. We'll do it tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I'm some time. Look, you got to leave them once
and more.

Speaker 5 (17:06):
I'll never forget the time KT left us with blue ears.
He looked us dead in the eye, and he said
pretty much every morning.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
For breakfast, I have a protein chick. And it changed everything.
Short show, Christina, we got MAVs.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
Very short, about an hour long.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
All right, hang with our homie for the next hour.
Right here on the eagle. There you going.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Well, sorry, I'm gonna get some cheeks after this horse
powers joint.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
