Speaker 1 (00:03):
Okay. I saw this in the New York Times.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
It was the top twenty five most influential magazine covers
of all time, all right, which I was like, any
type of list will grab my attention pretty quickly. But
I really thought you could help with the historical perspective
on some of these. You should go through a few
in order. Here number one they have on there. Oh,
you're going in reverb. I'm just going regularly.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Fine.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
I don't think they were really trying to rank them all,
and they were collecting.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Them twenty five that really matter. This takes us to
April nineteen sixty eight with Esquire. It's got to be
the Moonlight. Wait, that's sixty nine, right, it's Muhammad Ali.
Is he standing over the dude?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Nope, it's not that he's actually standing, but he's got
a bunch of arrows being shot into him and he's bleeding. Wow.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
I don't think I've ever seen that. It looks really cool.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
So that after he refused the US Army draft, Yeah,
that was of he had religious.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Grounds that he went with. Yeah, and that was after
he had changed his name from Cassius clad I don't
know what year he did that. And they wouldn't let
him box for a few years. There's actually a documentary
on Netflix right now called Blood Brothers about the relationship
between Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X. And it's really really interesting.
And a guy that I know through our buddy, Paul Shaldon,
(01:24):
did the soundtrack and if you want to hear their music,
go see the Budos ban on November twenty first at
the Granada Theater. But Tom Brenneck of Amy Winehouse Fame,
Sharon Jones Budos Band, he did the soundtrack to it.
It's really really interesting stuff they have on here. National
Lampoon nineteen seventy three, okay, and it's got to be
a Nixon thing.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
It says if you don't buy this magazine, we'll kill
this dog. Oh my gosh, and not holding a gun
up to the head of a dog and was looking soundway.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He's like, oh ah, that's great. And that's all the
people that you know basically went on to start Saturday
Night Live. Yeah, they all came from National Earth, some
of them came from National Inputs. Look, you have to
buy it. We will do this. We're serious.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
So it's not a cartoon dog either, No, it's real, Okay,
that's amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
All you see is the hand and the gun up
to his head. Another one, A Moment of Joy twenty
thirteen is The New Yorker, and so it's basically when
they legalize gay marriage. But watching on a TV set
is Ernie leaning on Bert?
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Did you just say? It's like the back of their
heads watching the TV. Amazing, it's so funny looking.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
So that's where we got. That's where that all started, right,
They just assumed they were a gay couple, and so
now we all assume they're a gay couple.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
I think it probably started before that, and they're leaning
on on that, okay, you know, kind of pop culture riff.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I think it started when they were sleeping together. Yeah,
we were relatively they were adults. And you know what,
Bert gave this energy of the angry did gay man? Yeah,
you know Ernie, Hey, guys here, I am yeah, come
and get it Bertie.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Bert was bottled up. I think it was.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, uh speaking of gay nineteen ninety seven, Time Magazine.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Oh it's gonna be Ellen degenerous. Yeah, she's leaning out,
she's crouched and says, yep, I'm gay, I'm good. Yeah,
she's do you guys remember that y'all were six or
seven or I remember a little bit about it, but
not enough to care because I didn't really you know,
know who she was that Well, do you remember this
(03:38):
scene or have you ever seen the scene where she
the character came out on the show. I've seen it
in hindsight. It was her talking to Laura Dern and
she accidentally leans in on a microphone at an airport
and announces it to the whole airport. Okay, it's pretty funny.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I've seen Ben grabbed the microphone at Lax and start
telling people at the baggage claim and just start freestyle
it before.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
It's kind of crazy. It wasn't saying I saw it
do that. I saw Nick Cage do it on a
flight with Charlie Sheen, and Charlie Sheen had drug strapped
to his body.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
I don't know about this one. Nineteen sixty six Esquire.
It's just in quote to says, oh my god, we
hit a little girl, and it's a about the Vietnam War.
Oh Hi, shocking magazine cover.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
So what you have to realize about that is that
was the first time in American history where real images
and like film, like actual footage of the carnage of
war made it back to America, and so it that
moment changed the idea of patriotism forever. So they're leaning
(04:48):
in on Wait a minute, so when war children get killed.
I'd never really had to think about that before. It's
you know, the Horrors of War, New York.
