Speaker 1 (00:00):
Incredible Mother's Day for the stars. We'll talk about it
here in thirty minutes when we go around the sports.
But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Oh it's ready, it's ready, it's ready.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Here goes here he.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Goes everyone ready, Yeah, ready? Oh what there it is?
Speaker 1 (00:15):
That's good.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
I've done this segment in about eleven years, so it's okay.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
But heard or what Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates,
he's man. Uh he did an interview on something called
the Broken Record podcast and listen, Oh, broken Record is
the one that Rick Rubin started. He started, okay, Malcolm Gladwell,
but they don't host it anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah they yeah, and they started it. Now two guys,
no one's ever heard of run it.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Okay, the guy seem pretty knowledgeable.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, listen to it's music nerddom. It's a good podcast,
and this is getting all the music headlines or whatever.
So I was like, okay, let's go see what this is.
And I went and listen to it. It's pretty good podcast,
films all of it, but yep, it's good.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Like the Doobies, there was a lot there was a
number of groups like that that they kind of got
eventually pigeonholed as yacht rock, but really what it was
was just R and B. Guys, they're just making R
and B records and they were white, and so this.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
Is something I don't understand. First of all, yacht rock
was a joke by two jerk offs in California, and
suddenly it became a genre and I don't even understand it.
I never understood it, and I totally man, I'm glad
you say that it's just R and B. It's just
another with some maybe some jazz in there. It's mellow
(01:24):
R and B. It's it's it's it's it's smooth R
and B. Yeah, I don't see what the yacht part is.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah, Okay, I'm glad that he's butt heard over this.
And it's funny because he's right, that's what yacht rock is.
It's smooth R and B. However, this is really more
of a conversation around how record labels market stuff and
how people follow trends. Right, Like, I can tell you
(01:53):
a number of songs from that era, and some of them.
On Thursday night, I'm hosting yacht rock music Trivia at Rollertown. Okay,
you jerk off, you know, and as I was, as
I was putting together the list of the songs I'm
gonna play and all that, there's certain things I'm like, man,
this is just R and B, but I'm including it
because people associate it with yacht rock. But the whole
(02:14):
thing is people, hey, this is popular. He is singing
about binging on a boat. I'm gonna do the same thing.
There's a bat. Norman Connors is a badass jazz R
and B artist, and he has an album called You're
My Starship, and he is standing on a yacht. He's
a jazz dude and he's standing on a yacht in
white pant pants with a captain's hat, because that was
(02:35):
selling music at the time. Like this, it's really more
about like when you go back and you look at
something and you ascribe a name to it because it
has all these connotations that they weren't purposely doing at
the time.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
But he's right, it's smooth R and B. But I
think it's a butt hurt response. And he seems perpetually
butt hurt, like I think that I think of him.
He's got a sour taste in his mouth, and he's
butt hurt about something. That's just the way I view
him from afar. It may not be fair, but it
just seems like he's always buttered about something. I would assume, like,
(03:08):
why not just go hey, man, that's a pretty cool thing.
Honored to be a part of it. Man, whatever he like,
who cares?
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (03:13):
And have you guys seen any of you guys probably
saw the documentary. That's why Michael McDonald is so great.
Michael McDonald is and he is the face of yacht rock.
And did y'all see the story where Paul Rudd came
up to him in an airport? Was like, man, I
am so sorry about that scene in forty year Old
Virgin and I hope it didn't offend you. And he goes, man,
(03:34):
I think it's really funny. And I've got my kids
making fun of me about it, and I laugh every time.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
I say.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
The best thing that happen for him, Yeah, said, if
I have to hear this one more time, y'all will
burn the place down or whatever.
Speaker 5 (03:44):
He says, shoot everyone in the store.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
That's but Michael McDonald, who is the face of yacht rock,
has a sense of here.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
He know what he says.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
He says, if it wasn't for that, people wouldn't be
thinking about me right now. Why take yourself so seriously?
Speaker 5 (03:58):
Yeah that you can't like joke around or look at
it through a different lens. Like if someone came up
to me and they're like, man, your rap career sucked
ask so bad it was yacht rap, I'd be like, awesome,
that's great, Yeah, I love it. Let's have fun with it.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
And you know the other guy who's perpetually butt hurt
and always has been Fagan from Steely Dan. He wants
nothing to do with but.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
That guy's always been an a hole time.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
My guy, John Oates is the real hero here.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Yeah, yep, there he goes.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
