All right, welcome to another upper total Buzzard Radio or

Speaker 3 (01:10):
We're the morning radio show. That's not a not even

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, we could do the afternoon drive home.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We could do the five o'clock drive time.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, that'd be good.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Dave called Dave, did call Dave was absent without permission,
But that's Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah. He mentioned the big Oklahoma Boys concert we
had last weekend, not this last weekend, the weekend before last. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He had no clue who they were, and I'm assuming
in unless unless you are from still Water or went
to still Water OSU, you probably have no idea who
we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I find that interesting that they are. There were so
many tickets sold, one hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Eighty thousand and four stadium nights sold out.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean that's crazy. I mean, how did there blue
I got word vomit going if they sold that many tickets.
I mean, there hasn't been one hundred and eighty thousand
students go through still Water since they were, you know,
playing back in the day. That was back in the nineties, right, yep, yep,
(02:41):
late nineties. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So basically what it was was, you know, a bunch
of guys from Oklahoma. I think almost everybody in all
the bands was from Oklahoma, but they all ended up
at Oklahoma State University and a lot of them had
bands or were in bands. And this guy named Mike
McClure started a band called the Great Divide, and he
(03:04):
wrote a lot of songs and he started a sound
which was kind of country mixed with a lot of
rock and roll, which became red dirt rock and roll,
red dirt music. And so because of his influence in
his band, the Troubadours, the Turnpi Turnpike Troubadours, and Cross
(03:34):
and Ragweed, all these other bands sprouted up and so
it became and so in and around that area of
Oklahoma it is all red dirt. I mean you literally
can go out to a field and the dirt's like red.
So that's where the name came from. But it was
a sound. So there's a bunch of venues in Stillwater
(03:55):
where all these bands used to play. So the years,
the four years that they were all going to school there,
they were the most popular bands in Stillwater.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And they didn't all go still at the same time though, No, No,
this was kind.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Of spread out over a couple of decades. But a
Cross Canadian Ragweed got and great divide. They got big
enough that they made albums and actually toured mostly around
you know, Oklahoma, Texas, kind of that general area. So
a lot of the fans weren't fans that went to OSU.
(04:31):
They were fans that heard them in Texas or Kansas
or Arkansas or you know, wherever they were touring at.
But anyway, then they all broke up. I think the
so Cross Canadian this is something I found out. I
just assumed because we have a county in Oklahoma called
(04:52):
Canadian County, and so I just assumed there was some
weird plant or something and that's what it was named after.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I guess I didn't even think about it. But the
lead guitarist and singer and the guy that started the band,
his name is Cody Canada. So anyway, Cross Canadian Ragweed
is a guy named Cross. His last name is Cross,
Canadian is Canada, and then Ragweed is one of the
(05:22):
guy's last name was Ragsdale and the other guy's name
was Whedon. So they came up with Cross Canadian Ragweed
out of all four of their last names. There you go.
And so, but anyway they broke up. I guess the
one of the guys in Cross Canadian Ragweed wanted to
spend more time with his kid or something, so they
(05:42):
kind of all broke up. But immediately Cody Canada started
Cody Canada and the Stragglers, and so they kept touring
and then anyway, somebody his why, somebody said, why don't
you after fifteen years? Somebody said, why don't you guys
get together? And so they decided to get back together.
(06:04):
And while they were doing that, they decided to call
all of the other Red Dirt bands and asked them
to come. And then all of a sudden, when the
word got out that all of the Red Dirt bands
from all these decades were all getting back together again,
I mean, people were frantic trying to get tickets, and
so they were talking about they were doing videos and saying, hey,
(06:27):
tickets are going to go on sale this day, but
you know, you're gonna have to be patient. They're going
to sell out fast. We you know, we've we've been
getting indications that they're going to sell fast. And they
didn't They didn't know though, They just assumed, and so
they were kind of they were they were still trying
to promote the concert. They were saying, like, you know,
we think they're going to sell out fast, but you know,
(06:48):
get tickets. And then they they I guess they did
like a deal where you could oh that was it.
They said sign up at this email and we will
notify you. I think when the tickets go on sale,
and they had so many people sign up for that
notification that they immediately knew the first show was sold out,
(07:11):
so they decided to add a second show. Well, the
notifications the leftover from the first one in combination with
the new ones, sold that one out and then I
think those tickets might have gone on sale, and then
because they sold out so fast, they added the two
other nights. So anyway, so yeah, so it was basically
(07:34):
just bands that probably nobody that's not from Oklahoma had
ever heard of, just getting together and people reminisce. I mean,
I think we talked about it quite a bit last time,
so I don't want to go back in detail, but yeah,
there was people there from all over. They've got a
map that they've been showing on social media. There was
somebody from every state that came bought tickets and came
(07:58):
from every state in the Union, and then several other countries.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We'll be done.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, so that there was not one state where somebody
did not buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So anyway, so that that's you probably never did hear
of any of those bands, and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I honestly I couldn't if you played one of their songs.
I couldn't tell you whose it was.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
What I knew most of the bands by name. I
couldn't have told you the name of a song either.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I just wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Because I'd never been to an outdoor stadium concert. I've
been to outdoor concerts at like Zoo Amphitheater, but I'd
never been to a stadium, and so I thought, I
was like, well, how much fun would that be to
go to Stillwater. So anyway, so that's why we went.
It was a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Good time was had by all.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, and Avia, I'm working on a news Winkies episode,
so coming up soon.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah. Gretchen, see she's scared of AI said something about
Bernie at Cocachella. Coachello, Yeah, they got Bernie Bernie on stage,
and my son just got back from there today, yesterday, yesterday,
he was there for the second weekend. Yeah. And then
(09:12):
Gretchen was wondering, like the rest of the world, what's
the big deal about putting women in space? Why are
they making such a big deal out of it? And
why does that thing look like a wiener?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
These are questions we may never know. She also tried
to watch the Oklahoma bombing documentary and couldn't finish watching.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I guess there are several of those, and there are different. Yeah,
they all look the same, but there's a lot different.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, And I can tell you that the Oklahoma City
Bombing Memorial is a tough museum to make it all
the way through.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, there's the thing outside which is free. Anybody can
work through. That's not so bad. But yeah, it get
you a clap going through.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The Yeah, they especially when you get to the nursery part.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So anyway, and then she talked about ghost how you
had for gotten that you and her, yes yet had
been going through old ghost episode.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I wonder she's caught up. Are you caught up, Gretchen?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh yeah, So Dave had jokingly said, don't do a
seventies buzz podcast about popes in the seventies. And the
reason he brought that up, of course, is because the
pope passed away Yester the night after Easter after literally
speaking on Easter, and then that night he had a stroke,
(10:29):
went into a coma, died of a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I was always wondering, why do they pick such old guys,
Why don't they do like the movie. We watched some
young dudes he you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Know, yeah, I was watching one guy given some history
on and the pope's stuff is kind of fascinating. But
I guess when the cardinals turned seventy five, they have
to submit their resignation to the pope, and then the
pope decides whether he's going to let him retire or not.
(11:03):
And then I think it's just seniority. I think that's
why so many popes are old. Because so I'm going
to say, watch the movie Conclave if you want to
know anything about how a pope is selected. Now, I
don't know, you know how close it is to the
real thing. I think it's fairly close, but you know,
(11:24):
ignore the story or whatever, but it gives you an
idea of what happens. And what happens is they take
a vote. All of the cardinals get sequestered and they
all have to take a vote, and the first vote
is like a shotgun. It's like, you know, thirty different
guys might be nominated and you can nominate yourself, and
then then and then they just over several days, they
(11:47):
just keep voting and then it gets small, you know
the number of people that are nominated to get smaller
and smaller, and each guy starts to get more and
more votes, and so what I think happens is and
I think what happened to Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I think he was like.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
One vote from being Pope the prior time, and so
I think what happens is these cardinals you kind of
know who got the most votes the last time. Well,
Pope's lived for quite a while, and so by the
time they come around to another vote, you kind of
know that that one guy got so many votes the
(12:26):
last time, so why not vote for So I think
that might be part of the reason too. Now they're
kind of wondering this year because they're sixty one million
Catholics in the United States and we have the second
highest number of cardinals after Italy, that maybe a cardinal
(12:48):
from the United States might become pope. I don't know
that that would ever happen, But Francis was the first,
I guess Jesuit from Argentina. He died at the age
of eighty eight, twelve years. I can't believe he was
pope from twelve Yeah, it didn't seem like that's crazy.
The first non European pope in nearly thirteen hundred years.
(13:12):
The United States has seventeen cardinals, ten of whom are
eligible to vote in the election of the next pope.
The country with the most cardinals is Italy, which has
fifty one. If you're ever wondering why there are a
lot of Italian popes, including seventeen, eligible to vote for
(13:32):
the next pontiff, well, I guess that's tied with the US.
So wouldn't that be interesting? Eight wouldn't that that would
be That would be so weird. An American pope. That's
a movie. I just that's a movie, right there, say
American pope. Damn, somebody American pope dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You better get it in.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm not yeah, I'm not kidding. That could happen, Okay,
So anyway, we'll see. So they do that whole thing
where they get sequestered and after the funeral, and then
they lock them in and they do a vote, and
if they don't select a pope by majority, they send
up a certain color of smoke. I forget which color
(14:15):
it is. And they keep doing that until they select
a pope, and then they different color smoke goes up
and then everybody in the crowd screams and yells, and
they know that they have a new pope.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Black means pope.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I think black means there's some pope, white means or
not or something something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, so and then it's a big deal. Then they
make a huge big deal of.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You know that stovepipe that comes out of that's not
there all the time. They have to stick that through
the roof.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, you know they have like police that like once
they go in, they like seal the doors and windows. Yeah,
it's kind of cool, kind of cool. Watch conclave. It's
kind of cool. Let's see, did you watch anything exciting
over the week.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I've been watching a lot of TV. It's like, if
you ask me what to watch, I couldn't. I want
to know.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's what I keep telling myself. I need to drop
down what I'm watching on the weekend. But one thing
I did watch and remembered so I could save you, guys,
two hours of your life. You Wolfman.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Didn't know there was It's like the new.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Horror monster movie. I can't remember what I think it
might have its either Netflix or Prime. It's called Wolfman.
Don't waste your time?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Who's in it?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I can't even nobody that I could name off the
top of my head, just I don't know. It had
its moments, but overall bad storyline, confusing, just yeah, save
your save your savior Nickel when you're go watch something else.
(15:49):
So yeah, going back to Gretchen real quick. She did
watch Adolescents that oh yeah, that series limited series. I
was asking you guys if anybody had watched She she
was kind of like me, you got sucked in by
the first episode, and like I said.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You should have.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You should quit watching after the first episode because there's
no intrigue or anything after that. It doesn't hold you.
But I guess she got was disturbed by the school episode,
how casual the students and teachers and everybody. It was
just a weird. It was just it's just a you
(16:29):
almost have to watch it to know what we're talking about.
What's it called again, adolescence And it's like four three
or four episodes, I think it's four episodes, and each
episode is shot in a single shot, so so the
you know, the camera never leaves, there's no no break. Yeah,
no break, no going from one spot to another without
(16:51):
the camera going along.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
For the ride.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean they don't have to edit.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
There was really no way to. Yeah, I mean, what
would you have edited?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
It's kind of kindic we do with this podcast, just
fly by it.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Although yeah, I'm sure they had to rehearse a million
times to get the entire thing without screwing up, because
I mean, if somebody screwed up their line, you'd have
to start over.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh yeah, yeah. So how long were the episodes?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I think they were about an hour? Jesus is yeah,
I mean, and that was the that was if you
want to watch it for that aspect, it's kind of cool,
But as far as the storyline and characters, it was lacking.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, okay, I'll pass.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
So that was the main That was the main thing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Other than more reruns of Leave It to Bieber, I
have been catching up on the old like the twenty
fifteen Daredevil series, because it came back again with their
dar Devil Reborn, and I watched all of it, and
I was like, you know, I never watched the one,
not not with ben Aflack, but the one with I
(17:56):
can't remember's name. What's fun? All these actors that do
all these shows and TV series and all this stuff
over here, so many of them are British and when
you see him in the interview and they got that
British accent, like what, yeah, where was that in the movie? Yeah,
like Spider Man, you know, he's got a real heavy
(18:18):
British accent, and Dared Devil's got a heavy British act.
All these guys.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I had no idea Sean Connery double O seven.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, but he never did an American accent.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Though, well kind of. I mean he wasn't as heavy.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
What was he.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Scottish, Wes Welsh Welsh? I guess yeah, I mean it
wasn't as heavy as in normal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
This is for Dave.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I decided to if you guys, So Dave, if you
guys are on TikTok and you're getting all these weird
bad people to follow, I'm going to give you my
quick list of who should check out these these accounts.
This is this is what's popping up on my feed.
(19:11):
I'm gonna go from bottom to top. So a guy
named Damon Darling, I think his account is Damon Darling TV.
He's a stand up comedian. But he goes into like
grocery stores and he'll ask people go dollar, go dollar,
and they'll say no thinking he's begging, and so he'll
whip out like a wad of money and start giving
them money and they'll be like, well, I don't need that,
(19:33):
and he'll be like, well, I thought you were poor.
He said you didn't have a dollar, And anyway, he's funny.
And then there's the gal. Her account is kat c
a t GPT and she's the one that talks about chat,
GPT and AI and she does it real so you
(19:54):
can understand. She dummies it down and now and the
new account that I've just recently started popping up is
called Eli Shiva. And so Eli Shiva is this college girl.
This is going to sound weird. She pretends like she's
a foreign exchange student and that her American roommates video
(20:16):
her doing all these funny goofy things, when in reality,
she's really an American college student pretending to be. But
they don't want you know. Of course, they don't want
you to know that she's not really a foreign exchange student.
How do you know this, well, because at the bottom
of the video it says listen to Eli Shiva's real voice,
(20:37):
and then you go to videos of her interviewing people
before she became Eli Shiva and she's just this normal girl.
So but it's just a fun account to follow because
she does these funny goofy.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know what I think is weird about Oh, go ahead,
go ahead, okay real quick.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
And there's this one guy called Lulu Lu Lu and
he I can't even describe. Just go to Lulu he Oh,
that guy over dramatizes anything. Yeah, he's really weird. Okay.
A new guy that's been popping up for several months
now Hugo Hamlet. He is wacky, so find Hugo Hamlet.
(21:16):
And then another guy is Joey Brow. His last name
is b r E a u X from Louisiana, Joey
bro and he he he's got the long rock and
roll hair and he thinks he's a rock and roller,
but he can't sing worth a damn. But he sings
(21:37):
every every video you know, it's it's like and it's
just really bad. And then the newest one, which just
popped up like within the last day or two is
called Air Dot Lady Dot Jet and it's fascinating because
it's this this really nice looking gal that's got to
be at least six foot, if not taller. Slim, nice build,
(22:02):
and she walks through malls and airports in this nineteen
fifty sixty style stewardess outfit that's really high cut, so
you can see her long legs, high heels, and she's
usually wheeling a suitcase and there's somebody behind her that videos.
(22:22):
And it's funny because it's usually just her back going
through an airport and all these people just say, bumping
into things, staring at her walking by. It's just crazy.
And she goes up and down escalators and you can
see all these guys just turning around, even girls. But
I don't know what it is about her. So anyway,
(22:43):
those are some of those are entertaining accounts on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm always amazed on how you'll so like those names
and they never crossed my feet. Or I'll say the
homebody like just In Danger Nunley and you don't yeah,
yeah you know him, oh huh huh or the or
the uh what no way guy? What no way? That guy?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
So I follow these two guys. One lives in like
Minnesota or something, and and and Justin Dangers Nonly he
lives in Destin, Florida. By my sister and it's car stuff.
You know, a lot of his car stuff, a lot
of Justin is. He's just funny. Anyway, they become friends
(23:28):
and they're doing like a race car challenge where drag
race or drag race. So they're both talking about it
and giving each other smack, and I'm like, that's so weird.
I mean, I guess that's the algorithm, you know, like
like like like like you know, I guess So I
thought that was weird. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I think TikTok does a better job than anybody in
connecting people and.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Things that you like.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So, okay, before we're gonna have Christopher Todd on here
in a sec real quick, do you remember do we
ever have a class on like space space that talked
about the Sun and the moon because of the fact
that we didn't know that the Sun wasn't made of
fire and there was no fire at all on the sun.
(24:13):
Do we ever have a class that taught us stuff
like science? Is that what I mean? But class so
science wasn't like was that what inside? Okay, so do
you remember back? Do you know what causes gravity?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Do you remember anybody ever trying to explain what caused gravity. No,
I always wondered or what would happen if we didn't
have gravity.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Float off the Earth.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
For some reason. I just I don't know why. I
think I remember somewhere or somebody and it and I
looked it up. People have been told or believed that
the spinning of the Earth causes gravity.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, which is kind of counter You think spinning Earth
it throws off.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, but it's not. I mean, the spinning of the
Earth has nothing to do with gravity. And so if
the Earth quit spinning, actually gravity would get stronger.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh it would. Yeah, so we wouldn't fly off like
are both takes. We would get squished.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Now if gravity stopped, we would, but if the Earth
spinning stopped, we wouldn't go anywhere. Okay, because look at
because look at the moon. The moon doesn't spin.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And it has gravity. It's also hollow anyway, So what
calls the gravity cards?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
If I could answer that, I would be a gazillionaire,
because that is the question. They don't even know what
gravity is. Yeah, they of course, you know, you got
your Einstein. They think he thinks it had something to
do with it's it's mass. Objects that have a lot
of mass pull other objects with a lot of mass
(25:54):
to them. So I'm thinking, so, what got this whole
thing started was black holes. They're starting to get more
and more information on black holes, and so if you
get close enough to a black hole, it sucks everything in,
even light and it can't get out. So I'm thinking,
So I was thinking, well, if things get sucked into
a black hole, there's got to be because I was
(26:14):
thinking part of what caused gravity was the spinning of objects,
because when you're like on a merry go round and
it spins, you get sucked down. So I don't know.
For somewhere along the line, something was explained to me
that gravity had to do with the spinning of the Earth. Yeah,
I think it doesn't, so I was thinking there, but
at the time, I was thinking there had to be
(26:35):
some I'm like, what would be spinning in a black hole?
And that's when I learned that it's gravity keeps things
from coming out of a black hole because it's just
super super super dense. And so then I started thinking, well,
if gravity doesn't have anything to do with spinning, how
are we stuck to the Earth? And yeah, they don't know.
(26:58):
Nobody knows. So then I got to thinking, well, if
gravity is so strong and it pulls things towards each other,
how come the Sun hasn't pulled us right in? And
that's a whole other thing trying to So we haven't
gone into the sun because we're speeding straight, but because
(27:21):
of gravity, we curve and so we're actually going straight,
but we're orbiting the Sun, but we're going straight.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, so anyway, it'll make you go bonkers.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, So anyway, let's call Christopher dog maybe knows
the answer. He had to be he's got band practice. Yeah,
so he was, so he may be in his car.
I'll make him honk his worn. Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You sound clean your car?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I am like, can you honk your horn? No?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Because then.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Come outside?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Hey, do you have a good easter?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I did?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, what do you guys do?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We went for a drive up north here to a
place called the Connor and just had lunch. Yeah. It's
just kind of nice. It's cool and I cool, very cool.
What did you all do?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I went to I picked up my granddaughter and I
went to my other son's house and there was like
fifteen sixteen of us there and had lots of food
and hang out. It was pretty nice. It was it
was rainy, you know, it's crappy weather. And then all
of a sudden at noon, the clouds just went away
and it was nice. And then my my daughter in law,
(28:52):
god lover, she made all the kids, see all the grandkids.
The youngest one is like, well, uh or Eastern and
there's like thirteen. She's made them go honey Striggs and
they're like, we really don't want to do this, but
there was lots of candy.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We made our girls at that age too.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Not now, but I think this may be the last
year for for the uh yeah, for the households to
honey Easter eggs. Just give them some money, just give
them twenty bush.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You know. It's funny. I don't remember being excited about
hunting for Easter eggs either.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh I did.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I did, and back when they were deviled eggs, I say,
But back then they were like real eggs, hard bulled eggs.
Yeah yeah, right, you just stuff your face and get sick.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And far what do you do now? I just put
those plastic eggs.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
We usually put money. As our girls got older, we
just would fill them with money.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, there you go for that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, so here you're putting out a new album.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah we knew that, so close to being done finally.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Okay, So so I've been looking online and there's actually
a printer there in your area, a presser or whatever
you call them. The press is vinyl. Have you checked
on prices.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I haven't. Not on vinyl.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I'm finding now I don't know everything, everything everything, but
I'm finding like for one hundred albums with a cover
with a jacket, jacket with the spine for one hundred
copies is around twelve hundred bucks. Twelve That's that's what
I'm seeing online. So investigate for us, and we can
(30:35):
get this done. We can get Vinyl done on your album.
I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'll have to talk about it when the time cones.
I saw a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Though, well that yeah, But if a bunch of if
a couple of us pony up some money and you know,
we decide what you're going to sell the album for,
you're gonna make the money back. I promise you. I
mean you're gonna sell You're gonna sell a hundred albums.
I guarantee, you.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Oh sure, So anyway, I thought that before I have
I have several boxes of my album I made.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Hey you got the seventies?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Both podcasts, Buddy, we got a hundred listeners that will
buy an album?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, yeah cool? Yeah we could do that absolutely hocket
for me. Yeah, our T shirts, we can make T shirts.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Singing really good though. I'm so happy with it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Finally, just so, is it going to be available online
and then maybe press them?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Oh yeah, he's gonna do d CD CDs.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh okay, cool. I figure it will take me a
couple of weeks to get finished recording what needs to
be done. There's not a whole lot that needs to
be done. It's just lining up the time. Because I
don't like to singing my own backing vocals. I have
on a few songs on it. I like to get
other people involved, and it's up lining up schedules, like
(31:54):
tomorrow night. I finally got a session scheduled with some
friends that are gonna sing honest song. But that took
literally a month.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Now are you are you having a book studio time
to do this or do you have a studio that
you use?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
This record has cost I mean it has cost because
I've you know, paid some Mostly it's friends who you know,
you like me, If a friend asked me to play
out the record, I charge anything. So luckily I got
a lot of friends in the same way. And you know,
but I you know, like I there's a website called
(32:33):
fiber dot com. Yeah yeah, and I got some dude
from over and I think one of the guys is
some Russia played cello on one song. Oh wow, guy
from Nashville played cello on another song. Yeah, it doesn't
it's like varying prices, but they go by like thirty
(32:55):
minute or thirty second, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
So, so do you mix the stuff at home or
do you have a studio you go to No?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
No, I mean we all have home studios.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so it's all done at home. And you know,
so I started recording it January of twenty four, and
you know that hasn't been constant recording, of course. I
mean you burn out on it and get to take
a month off and even listening to it. But you know,
(33:31):
it's like it's one thing when you can go in
with a full band and just lay down tracks and
a couple of days you're done. This is you know,
most of it's me and my buddy Norm playing on it.
And then you know, again lining up, like I'll send
tracks to friends of mine and her bass players and go, okay,
(33:53):
you know, here's the basic idea. Like I'll lay down
the basic idea of what I went to the basis
sound like, and then I just don't consider myself a
bass player. I enjoy coming up with bass parts, but
it feels different and sounds different when a real bass
player plays on it. Yeah, and plus I like other
people's kind of they're flair on stuff, so it doesn't
(34:16):
all sound like me. Just think it makes it sound
like a better record. And so I'll just send it
to them. And they got their home studios and they
lay tracks. They'll send it to me and I go, oh,
it's so close. How about doing this here? Okay, you know,
and then let's come back with another take and yeah,
it usually only takes a couple of takes and then yeah,
(34:36):
so it's been done like that, so you know, it's
not just me going home every night and sitting down
and working on it. It's like, you know, friends, you know,
they got to work out their schedule to play.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
On her as well.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Sure, but yeah, it's I'm just down now to some
backing vocals and on like two songs, three songs, and
then I need to find another cello player for another song,
and so I'll probably use that fiber again.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So the name of the album is Love in Space,
is that right?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Love in Space?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Love in Space, and all the songs are all space.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, it started. You know, it's funny. I was just
back in January twenty four. I just I was sitting
down to go to bed one night, and I was like,
I like to do, like, okay, I'm not going to
go to bed until I put down it at least
an idea, and then I can listen to it tomorrow
work and see if I can think about what it
(35:40):
should be. So I just put down this like twelve
seconds of music. You know, well that sounds interesting, but
I don't know what it is, and I didn't have
any lyrics. So I just called it Taco Strut because
it kind of had this groove to it, and I
called it Taco strip because KP calls me taco. And
(36:01):
then the next day I kind of figured out that's
kind of spacey, and so I came up with lyrical
concept high above the Moon. And then then I sent
it to Norm. You know, I came home, I flushed
out the arrangement, recorded the basic basics of it, and
I sent it to my buddy Norman. He was a
keyboard player, and he put all these really awesome, you know,
(36:22):
lush keyboards on it. I was like, oh, this is great.
So that turned into this song, and I'm like, I
really like this song. And then I just well, I
got this other piece of music. I'll turn that one
into I'll call it Superstar and just kind of and
so it just became there. For a while I was writing,
(36:42):
you know, you know, for like a couple of weeks,
I was writing like a song a night, you know,
and just one night, I wrote two songs in one night,
you know, and just I'd record them, send it to Norm.
He'd put the keyboards on it. You know. We go
back and forth like how about this, how about that?
And then it just yeah, so that's cool. It just
(37:03):
turned into this and then I just decided, well, this
is all going to be a thematic album. At least
at that time, it was like, it's all going to
be the songs about with a spacey kind of concept
to them, and then I came up with I don't
know if I put this song here in the song here,
in that one there, and it actually became somewhat of
a story, you know, so it's actually has a story
(37:27):
to it. I don't know if you could follow this
story from listening to the album, but there's a basic
you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Is this artwork that you posted on Facebook? Is that
going to be on the album?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
That's going to be the album cover. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah, So I'm looking at it here and on the
right there's like a sign or something on a building.
It's kind of green.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It's called the landing. Yeah, oh, the green. I don't
know what that green is.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That that was just in the artwork, Okay, it was
like it looks like a little grimlin or something.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I don't know, I don't know what that is. But
I had another friend put it. Originally did it was
just a sign on the other side, but I had
him put the landing because at the beginning of the album,
it starts with all this chaos because the ship is
landing and KP does this like radio announcer, you know,
(38:21):
thing like about you know, the ship is just you know,
dropped out of the sky above the Landing Back Club downtown.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Did she did she sing on any of the songs?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
She hasn't yet. We're discussing it the other night. It's
just really because I don't have a portable. It's it's
just that's the only reason I haven't had her singing
on it. Is like I always go to her place,
you know, it's more difficult for her to get to
my place just because of work schedules and stuff and
(38:59):
you know times that I have where I'm able to record,
and so it just hasn't happened yet. But I really
want to try and do that before it's done, you know.
So we were talking about the other day, trying to
get her at least singing back ups one song, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
So, yeah, it's it's come along. I it sounded like
I don't. I sent you guys a track a long time.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Like you should hear that track down. Oh my god, Yeah,
I don't know. Several months ago, my buddy Danny said, hey,
let me let me do this and let me tweak
something on this, you know, send me the tracks, let
me tweet this. And now it's daily. It's great because
(39:52):
I can be working on the album while at home
because Danny's working on it, you know during the day.
You know, I can just He'll send me mixes and
I'll go turn this up, turn this down, how about
you know this idea? And so we've been working, you know,
on it constantly. He's just got it. He's been able
(40:13):
to dial in sounds. It's like, well, this sounds so
much better than I thought it so cool. So yeah,
it's been really cool.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, we are excited.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Is it okay?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
So done? If I can move on to the next thing?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Is it now? I asked if it's going to be
available online? But can you like do a digital download
of it?
Speaker 2 (40:33):
That's that's where it'll go first, is the digital download.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Stuff, and then and hopefully that does well and that
could help pay for some pressings. Yeah, And like I only.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I only planned on printing up initially, like one hundred
CDs because you know, not making people use CDs anymore.
I think I figure most people are going to download it,
so yeah, but I like to have a physical copy
in my hand, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Well, and I won a vinyl copy, so we're gonna
we're going to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah, yeah, that would be fun. But yeah, like just
to give you an idea, one hundred c is gonna
cost me like three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, oh that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
So you know, there's the difference between cvs and vinyl. Yeah,
so much more expensive to do vinyl. But man, how
cool would it be to have an actual vinyl copy
of it? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
There's some guys in Enid that started a band and
it was when I think it was Bush or somebody
came out against raw some rock and roll song and
so they named their group the Satanic Republicans and they
recorded an album and somehow somebody gave it to me,
(41:54):
like probably twenty thirty years ago, and somehow got stuck
in a box and I unboxed it, I don't know
a year ago, and I had like a Kansas album
in there, and I had that Satanic Republican's unopened album
and it's it's so damn good. Yeah, it's got Dave
(42:18):
Dave Gingy on it.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, and the album is so good.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
I listened to it all the time. But it's it's
so cool that it's a vinyl album of these guys
just and they didn't even I don't even know they
were together very long, I don't think so. Yeah, he's
been in a bunch of bands longer than that one.
I don't think that one was together even a year.
But so I've thought about talking to him and finding
out where he got got his printed. Of course it
(42:44):
was a long time ago, so but anyway, it just
it's just cool to have vinyl. Oh yeah, I mean
I love it, and with the resurgence, I think I
think it would sell more than a CD.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Would I mean, it might, it might.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, we'll figure it out, but.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
That would have to be like a GoFundMe thing.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah, but you got it.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
We've all got a lot of friends out there, so
we'll we'll we'll investigate this and let everybody know.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Everybody donate ten bucks.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
I was gonna say it, you're gonna pay thirty bucks
for an album anyway.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So if everybody paid, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I know, but I'm doing it. Everybody's doing it. If
you want an album, that's what you got to pay
twenty five thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
For a new album for a new album, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
So.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Uh So anyway, well we're going to get it figured out.
Keep in touch.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Who did your artwork, you know, buddy of mine was
messing around. His name is Kevin O'Connell. Never met him,
lives in Florida, just internet, you know, Facebook friend, and
he was sending me stuff that he was creating with AI,
and I said, you know, hey, tell it to create
(44:04):
a guy standing in the middle of a city street
looking up and there's a heart shaped spaceship above.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yeah, and it came back pretty close to that. But
what you're looking at, what you see, that heart shaped
spaceship was created, you know, and put over the one
that was that AI created.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
So there's been some alterations to that, to that picture
from what Kevin originally created.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
But it kind of reminds me of the Boston album.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
If you guys go to Christopher Todd Davis, yeah, his
Facebook page, you'll see what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Somebody said it mind him of a Blade Runner.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Oh yeah, for you know, the colors.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
When I first saw it without looking, I mean, it
just came across my screen really quick. Stranger things.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
It hit me as it hit me for some reason,
I was like, what does he do? Is he sharing
his stranger things? And then when I looked at it closer,
I realized what it was. But it struck me as
a stranger thing.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
It has.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It has that stranger things feel to it.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Vibe to it.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Yeah yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Else it looks like a like a pulp fiction and
you know forties pulp fiction novel.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Yeah yeah, it's got a good cool vibe to it.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
So heart shaped spaceship, that's cool, huh yeah yeah, And
that's all in the intro to. You know, somebody's been
saying it's shaped like a giant metallic hearts. KP did
a great job. It was funny. I just said, I
wrote out the script. This is how this recording has gone.
Some of this stuff. I just wrote out the script
(45:38):
one day. It worked. You know, I want this is
what I want, you know, you know, the loud speaker
voice to be saying. I kind of pictured as a
loudspeaker voice going out over a city, you know, when
there's chaos going on. So there's all these people screaming.
And I just sent it to her and said, you know,
(45:59):
you're a uh you're a newscaster or you know, just
say just read these lines. And so she dated into
her phone and then I just flew it into the session.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Cool? It ever reminds me of H. G. Wells or
The World?
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, it's so yeah,
it starts like that, and yeah it's really I say,
you know, I don't know if anybody else is gonna
like it, but I'm really proud of the songs, you know,
especially lyrically. It's like, hey, I kind of like all these.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Kind very cool, very cool. I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah, looking forward to it. Uh, have you seen anything
on TV?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Good?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
Bad? Ugly?
Speaker 2 (46:49):
What's that new Wallberg movie yesterday?
Speaker 1 (46:51):
That one Risk and the Plane? Yeah, that's disturbing because
I don't like see any bold.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I've been wanting to see that.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
How was it?
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah? I think I said this for my buddy, and
I have a saying that like movies that aren't great,
it's a good way to kill an hour and a half. Okay,
it wasn't great, but it was entertaining and you certainly
found yourself going what the hell are you doing? You know?
But it Yeah, it was entertaining. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Would you watch it again?
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah? I think i'd watch it.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Okay, we'll save two hours and don't watch wolf Man.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Wolf Man I never heard it. If you and I
have started watching uh black mirror, black movie watching that
sounds from it sounds familiar, kind of like it's kind
of like I wouldn't say twilight Zone. Really some episodes are,
but you know it's not. It's a series, but it's not.
(47:52):
They're not connected, so you can watch any episode in whatever,
kind of like twilight Zone. They're different stories, you know
what I mean. And some are pretty pretty strippy, like
one with Bryce Dellis Howard was people rate you like
with their phones, like like like let's say that we
(48:14):
had a conversation, you know, I met you one of
you on the street and we had a conversation. I
would walk away and I would rate that conversation, which
went across all social media. And your rating is and
so your rating is how you do everything in life.
(48:35):
Like I'm sorry, we can't let you in this house.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Your ratings, Oh wow, interesting you to get up to
a four point.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
You so you purposely, you know, so you have to
be extra friendly to people so they give you a
better rating.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
That's the idea. We should do that, so everybody it
was it was a.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Cool little story. I really enjoyed. It was, you know,
and of course you know, at some point, you know,
you kind of lose your ship and go on on
somebody and all of a sudden rating coasts. So it's
it was a good little episode. I liked it. But
I do like too that it's not it's you can
(49:17):
watch in the episode whatever order you want, So.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
I think I might try to find that up. I
like Bryce Dallas Howard.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Check her out.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Okay, man, the whole band is here, so I got
to jump.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Okay, I said, we got to get out of here too.
So appreciate you, and we'll keep everybody updated on the album.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
All right, fellas, love you, bye bye.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I'm excited.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
Clay crazy phones?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
All right, welcome to another upper total Buzzard Radio or
your founder. What do you say? What do you called us?
Speaker 3 (01:10):
We're the morning radio show. That's not a not even
a radio show. We're just two guys sitting in a
room talking. But if you'd like us to be on
your radio show in the morning or the evening, maybe
even the afternoon, give us a ringy dinghy at five
eight oh five, four one three eight oh five or
email buzz bothidmedia dot com. We'll get back with you.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, we could do the afternoon drive home.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
We could do the five o'clock drive time.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Yeah, that'd be good.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Dave called Dave, did call Dave was absent without permission,
But that's Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, yeah. He mentioned the big Oklahoma Boys concert we
had last weekend, not this last weekend, the weekend before last. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
He had no clue who they were, and I'm assuming
in unless unless you are from still Water or went
to still Water OSU, you probably have no idea who
we're talking about.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I find that interesting that they are. There were so
many tickets sold, one hundred and eighty thousand.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Eighty thousand and four stadium nights sold out.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
I mean that's crazy. I mean, how did there blue
I got word vomit going if they sold that many tickets.
I mean, there hasn't been one hundred and eighty thousand
students go through still Water since they were, you know,
playing back in the day. That was back in the nineties, right, yep, yep,
(02:41):
late nineties. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
So basically what it was was, you know, a bunch
of guys from Oklahoma. I think almost everybody in all
the bands was from Oklahoma, but they all ended up
at Oklahoma State University and a lot of them had
bands or were in bands. And this guy named Mike
McClure started a band called the Great Divide, and he
(03:04):
wrote a lot of songs and he started a sound
which was kind of country mixed with a lot of
rock and roll, which became red dirt rock and roll,
red dirt music. And so because of his influence in
his band, the Troubadours, the Turnpi Turnpike Troubadours, and Cross
(03:34):
and Ragweed, all these other bands sprouted up and so
it became and so in and around that area of
Oklahoma it is all red dirt. I mean you literally
can go out to a field and the dirt's like red.
So that's where the name came from. But it was
a sound. So there's a bunch of venues in Stillwater
(03:55):
where all these bands used to play. So the years,
the four years that they were all going to school there,
they were the most popular bands in Stillwater.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
And they didn't all go still at the same time though, No, No,
this was kind.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Of spread out over a couple of decades. But a
Cross Canadian Ragweed got and great divide. They got big
enough that they made albums and actually toured mostly around
you know, Oklahoma, Texas, kind of that general area. So
a lot of the fans weren't fans that went to OSU.
(04:31):
They were fans that heard them in Texas or Kansas
or Arkansas or you know, wherever they were touring at.
But anyway, then they all broke up. I think the
so Cross Canadian this is something I found out. I
just assumed because we have a county in Oklahoma called
(04:52):
Canadian County, and so I just assumed there was some
weird plant or something and that's what it was named after.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Huh.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I guess I didn't even think about it. But the
lead guitarist and singer and the guy that started the band,
his name is Cody Canada. So anyway, Cross Canadian Ragweed
is a guy named Cross. His last name is Cross,
Canadian is Canada, and then Ragweed is one of the
(05:22):
guy's last name was Ragsdale and the other guy's name
was Whedon. So they came up with Cross Canadian Ragweed
out of all four of their last names. There you go.
And so, but anyway they broke up. I guess the
one of the guys in Cross Canadian Ragweed wanted to
spend more time with his kid or something, so they
(05:42):
kind of all broke up. But immediately Cody Canada started
Cody Canada and the Stragglers, and so they kept touring
and then anyway, somebody his why, somebody said, why don't
you after fifteen years? Somebody said, why don't you guys
get together? And so they decided to get back together.
(06:04):
And while they were doing that, they decided to call
all of the other Red Dirt bands and asked them
to come. And then all of a sudden, when the
word got out that all of the Red Dirt bands
from all these decades were all getting back together again,
I mean, people were frantic trying to get tickets, and
so they were talking about they were doing videos and saying, hey,
(06:27):
tickets are going to go on sale this day, but
you know, you're gonna have to be patient. They're going
to sell out fast. We you know, we've we've been
getting indications that they're going to sell fast. And they
didn't They didn't know though, They just assumed, and so
they were kind of they were they were still trying
to promote the concert. They were saying, like, you know,
we think they're going to sell out fast, but you know,
(06:48):
get tickets. And then they they I guess they did
like a deal where you could oh that was it.
They said sign up at this email and we will
notify you. I think when the tickets go on sale,
and they had so many people sign up for that
notification that they immediately knew the first show was sold out,
(07:11):
so they decided to add a second show. Well, the
notifications the leftover from the first one in combination with
the new ones, sold that one out and then I
think those tickets might have gone on sale, and then
because they sold out so fast, they added the two
other nights. So anyway, so yeah, so it was basically
(07:34):
just bands that probably nobody that's not from Oklahoma had
ever heard of, just getting together and people reminisce. I mean,
I think we talked about it quite a bit last time,
so I don't want to go back in detail, but yeah,
there was people there from all over. They've got a
map that they've been showing on social media. There was
somebody from every state that came bought tickets and came
(07:58):
from every state in the Union, and then several other countries.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
We'll be done.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yeah, so that there was not one state where somebody
did not buy tickets.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
That's crazy. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
So anyway, so that that's you probably never did hear
of any of those bands, and.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
I honestly I couldn't if you played one of their songs.
I couldn't tell you whose it was.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
What I knew most of the bands by name. I
couldn't have told you the name of a song either.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I just wanted to go.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Because I'd never been to an outdoor stadium concert. I've
been to outdoor concerts at like Zoo Amphitheater, but I'd
never been to a stadium, and so I thought, I
was like, well, how much fun would that be to
go to Stillwater. So anyway, so that's why we went.
It was a good time.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Good time was had by all.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Yeah, and Avia, I'm working on a news Winkies episode,
so coming up soon.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah. Gretchen, see she's scared of AI said something about
Bernie at Cocachella. Coachello, Yeah, they got Bernie Bernie on stage,
and my son just got back from there today, yesterday, yesterday,
he was there for the second weekend. Yeah. And then
(09:12):
Gretchen was wondering, like the rest of the world, what's
the big deal about putting women in space? Why are
they making such a big deal out of it? And
why does that thing look like a wiener?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
These are questions we may never know. She also tried
to watch the Oklahoma bombing documentary and couldn't finish watching.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I guess there are several of those, and there are different. Yeah,
they all look the same, but there's a lot different.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah, And I can tell you that the Oklahoma City
Bombing Memorial is a tough museum to make it all
the way through.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Yeah, there's the thing outside which is free. Anybody can
work through. That's not so bad. But yeah, it get
you a clap going through.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The Yeah, they especially when you get to the nursery part.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So anyway, and then she talked about ghost how you
had for gotten that you and her, yes yet had
been going through old ghost episode.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
I wonder she's caught up. Are you caught up, Gretchen?
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Oh yeah, So Dave had jokingly said, don't do a
seventies buzz podcast about popes in the seventies. And the
reason he brought that up, of course, is because the
pope passed away Yester the night after Easter after literally
speaking on Easter, and then that night he had a stroke,
(10:29):
went into a coma, died of a heart attack.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I was always wondering, why do they pick such old guys,
Why don't they do like the movie. We watched some
young dudes he you.
Speaker 3 (10:40):
Know, yeah, I was watching one guy given some history
on and the pope's stuff is kind of fascinating. But
I guess when the cardinals turned seventy five, they have
to submit their resignation to the pope, and then the
pope decides whether he's going to let him retire or not.
(11:03):
And then I think it's just seniority. I think that's
why so many popes are old. Because so I'm going
to say, watch the movie Conclave if you want to
know anything about how a pope is selected. Now, I
don't know, you know how close it is to the
real thing. I think it's fairly close, but you know,
(11:24):
ignore the story or whatever, but it gives you an
idea of what happens. And what happens is they take
a vote. All of the cardinals get sequestered and they
all have to take a vote, and the first vote
is like a shotgun. It's like, you know, thirty different
guys might be nominated and you can nominate yourself, and
then then and then they just over several days, they
(11:47):
just keep voting and then it gets small, you know
the number of people that are nominated to get smaller
and smaller, and each guy starts to get more and
more votes, and so what I think happens is and
I think what happened to Pope Francis.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I think he was like.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
One vote from being Pope the prior time, and so
I think what happens is these cardinals you kind of
know who got the most votes the last time. Well,
Pope's lived for quite a while, and so by the
time they come around to another vote, you kind of
know that that one guy got so many votes the
(12:26):
last time, so why not vote for So I think
that might be part of the reason too. Now they're
kind of wondering this year because they're sixty one million
Catholics in the United States and we have the second
highest number of cardinals after Italy, that maybe a cardinal
(12:48):
from the United States might become pope. I don't know
that that would ever happen, But Francis was the first,
I guess Jesuit from Argentina. He died at the age
of eighty eight, twelve years. I can't believe he was
pope from twelve Yeah, it didn't seem like that's crazy.
The first non European pope in nearly thirteen hundred years.
(13:12):
The United States has seventeen cardinals, ten of whom are
eligible to vote in the election of the next pope.
The country with the most cardinals is Italy, which has
fifty one. If you're ever wondering why there are a
lot of Italian popes, including seventeen, eligible to vote for
(13:32):
the next pontiff, well, I guess that's tied with the US.
So wouldn't that be interesting? Eight wouldn't that that would
be That would be so weird. An American pope. That's
a movie. I just that's a movie, right there, say
American pope. Damn, somebody American pope dot com.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
You better get it in.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
I'm not yeah, I'm not kidding. That could happen, Okay,
So anyway, we'll see. So they do that whole thing
where they get sequestered and after the funeral, and then
they lock them in and they do a vote, and
if they don't select a pope by majority, they send
up a certain color of smoke. I forget which color
(14:15):
it is. And they keep doing that until they select
a pope, and then they different color smoke goes up
and then everybody in the crowd screams and yells, and
they know that they have a new pope.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Black means pope.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
I can't remember.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
I think black means there's some pope, white means or
not or something something like that.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Yeah, so and then it's a big deal. Then they
make a huge big deal of.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
You know that stovepipe that comes out of that's not
there all the time. They have to stick that through
the roof.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Oh really?
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Yeah, you know they have like police that like once
they go in, they like seal the doors and windows. Yeah,
it's kind of cool, kind of cool. Watch conclave. It's
kind of cool. Let's see, did you watch anything exciting
over the week.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
I've been watching a lot of TV. It's like, if
you ask me what to watch, I couldn't. I want
to know.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
That's what I keep telling myself. I need to drop
down what I'm watching on the weekend. But one thing
I did watch and remembered so I could save you, guys,
two hours of your life. You Wolfman.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Didn't know there was It's like the new.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Horror monster movie. I can't remember what I think it
might have its either Netflix or Prime. It's called Wolfman.
Don't waste your time?
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Who's in it?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
I can't even nobody that I could name off the
top of my head, just I don't know. It had
its moments, but overall bad storyline, confusing, just yeah, save
your save your savior Nickel when you're go watch something else.
(15:49):
So yeah, going back to Gretchen real quick. She did
watch Adolescents that oh yeah, that series limited series. I
was asking you guys if anybody had watched She she
was kind of like me, you got sucked in by
the first episode, and like I said.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
You should have.
Speaker 3 (16:09):
You should quit watching after the first episode because there's
no intrigue or anything after that. It doesn't hold you.
But I guess she got was disturbed by the school episode,
how casual the students and teachers and everybody. It was
just a weird. It was just it's just a you
(16:29):
almost have to watch it to know what we're talking about.
What's it called again, adolescence And it's like four three
or four episodes, I think it's four episodes, and each
episode is shot in a single shot, so so the
you know, the camera never leaves, there's no no break. Yeah,
no break, no going from one spot to another without
(16:51):
the camera going along.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
For the ride.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I mean they don't have to edit.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
There was really no way to. Yeah, I mean, what
would you have edited?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
It's kind of kindic we do with this podcast, just
fly by it.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Although yeah, I'm sure they had to rehearse a million
times to get the entire thing without screwing up, because
I mean, if somebody screwed up their line, you'd have
to start over.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
Oh yeah, yeah. So how long were the episodes?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
I think they were about an hour? Jesus is yeah,
I mean, and that was the that was if you
want to watch it for that aspect, it's kind of cool,
But as far as the storyline and characters, it was lacking.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, okay, I'll pass.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
So that was the main That was the main thing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Other than more reruns of Leave It to Bieber, I
have been catching up on the old like the twenty
fifteen Daredevil series, because it came back again with their
dar Devil Reborn, and I watched all of it, and
I was like, you know, I never watched the one,
not not with ben Aflack, but the one with I
(17:56):
can't remember's name. What's fun? All these actors that do
all these shows and TV series and all this stuff
over here, so many of them are British and when
you see him in the interview and they got that
British accent, like what, yeah, where was that in the movie? Yeah,
like Spider Man, you know, he's got a real heavy
(18:18):
British accent, and Dared Devil's got a heavy British act.
All these guys.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
I had no idea Sean Connery double O seven.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
Yeah, but he never did an American accent.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Though, well kind of. I mean he wasn't as heavy.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
What was he.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Scottish, Wes Welsh Welsh? I guess yeah, I mean it
wasn't as heavy as in normal.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
This is for Dave.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
I decided to if you guys, So Dave, if you
guys are on TikTok and you're getting all these weird
bad people to follow, I'm going to give you my
quick list of who should check out these these accounts.
This is this is what's popping up on my feed.
(19:11):
I'm gonna go from bottom to top. So a guy
named Damon Darling, I think his account is Damon Darling TV.
He's a stand up comedian. But he goes into like
grocery stores and he'll ask people go dollar, go dollar,
and they'll say no thinking he's begging, and so he'll
whip out like a wad of money and start giving
them money and they'll be like, well, I don't need that,
(19:33):
and he'll be like, well, I thought you were poor.
He said you didn't have a dollar, And anyway, he's funny.
And then there's the gal. Her account is kat c
a t GPT and she's the one that talks about chat,
GPT and AI and she does it real so you
(19:54):
can understand. She dummies it down and now and the
new account that I've just recently started popping up is
called Eli Shiva. And so Eli Shiva is this college girl.
This is going to sound weird. She pretends like she's
a foreign exchange student and that her American roommates video
(20:16):
her doing all these funny goofy things, when in reality,
she's really an American college student pretending to be. But
they don't want you know. Of course, they don't want
you to know that she's not really a foreign exchange student.
How do you know this, well, because at the bottom
of the video it says listen to Eli Shiva's real voice,
(20:37):
and then you go to videos of her interviewing people
before she became Eli Shiva and she's just this normal girl.
So but it's just a fun account to follow because
she does these funny goofy.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
You know what I think is weird about Oh, go ahead,
go ahead, okay real quick.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
And there's this one guy called Lulu Lu Lu and
he I can't even describe. Just go to Lulu he Oh,
that guy over dramatizes anything. Yeah, he's really weird. Okay.
A new guy that's been popping up for several months
now Hugo Hamlet. He is wacky, so find Hugo Hamlet.
(21:16):
And then another guy is Joey Brow. His last name
is b r E a u X from Louisiana, Joey
bro and he he he's got the long rock and
roll hair and he thinks he's a rock and roller,
but he can't sing worth a damn. But he sings
(21:37):
every every video you know, it's it's like and it's
just really bad. And then the newest one, which just
popped up like within the last day or two is
called Air Dot Lady Dot Jet and it's fascinating because
it's this this really nice looking gal that's got to
be at least six foot, if not taller. Slim, nice build,
(22:02):
and she walks through malls and airports in this nineteen
fifty sixty style stewardess outfit that's really high cut, so
you can see her long legs, high heels, and she's
usually wheeling a suitcase and there's somebody behind her that videos.
(22:22):
And it's funny because it's usually just her back going
through an airport and all these people just say, bumping
into things, staring at her walking by. It's just crazy.
And she goes up and down escalators and you can
see all these guys just turning around, even girls. But
I don't know what it is about her. So anyway,
(22:43):
those are some of those are entertaining accounts on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
I'm always amazed on how you'll so like those names
and they never crossed my feet. Or I'll say the
homebody like just In Danger Nunley and you don't yeah,
yeah you know him, oh huh huh or the or
the uh what no way guy? What no way? That guy?
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (23:06):
So I follow these two guys. One lives in like
Minnesota or something, and and and Justin Dangers Nonly he
lives in Destin, Florida. By my sister and it's car stuff.
You know, a lot of his car stuff, a lot
of Justin is. He's just funny. Anyway, they become friends
(23:28):
and they're doing like a race car challenge where drag
race or drag race. So they're both talking about it
and giving each other smack, and I'm like, that's so weird.
I mean, I guess that's the algorithm, you know, like
like like like like you know, I guess So I
thought that was weird. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
I think TikTok does a better job than anybody in
connecting people and.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Things that you like.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
So, okay, before we're gonna have Christopher Todd on here
in a sec real quick, do you remember do we
ever have a class on like space space that talked
about the Sun and the moon because of the fact
that we didn't know that the Sun wasn't made of
fire and there was no fire at all on the sun.
(24:13):
Do we ever have a class that taught us stuff
like science? Is that what I mean? But class so
science wasn't like was that what inside? Okay, so do
you remember back? Do you know what causes gravity?
Speaker 1 (24:27):
I don't think anybody does.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Do you remember anybody ever trying to explain what caused gravity. No,
I always wondered or what would happen if we didn't
have gravity.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Float off the Earth.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
For some reason. I just I don't know why. I
think I remember somewhere or somebody and it and I
looked it up. People have been told or believed that
the spinning of the Earth causes gravity.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, which is kind of counter You think spinning Earth
it throws off.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
Yeah, but it's not. I mean, the spinning of the
Earth has nothing to do with gravity. And so if
the Earth quit spinning, actually gravity would get stronger.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
Oh it would. Yeah, so we wouldn't fly off like
are both takes. We would get squished.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Now if gravity stopped, we would, but if the Earth
spinning stopped, we wouldn't go anywhere. Okay, because look at
because look at the moon. The moon doesn't spin.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
And it has gravity. It's also hollow anyway, So what
calls the gravity cards?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
If I could answer that, I would be a gazillionaire,
because that is the question. They don't even know what
gravity is. Yeah, they of course, you know, you got
your Einstein. They think he thinks it had something to
do with it's it's mass. Objects that have a lot
of mass pull other objects with a lot of mass
(25:54):
to them. So I'm thinking, so, what got this whole
thing started was black holes. They're starting to get more
and more information on black holes, and so if you
get close enough to a black hole, it sucks everything in,
even light and it can't get out. So I'm thinking,
So I was thinking, well, if things get sucked into
a black hole, there's got to be because I was
(26:14):
thinking part of what caused gravity was the spinning of objects,
because when you're like on a merry go round and
it spins, you get sucked down. So I don't know.
For somewhere along the line, something was explained to me
that gravity had to do with the spinning of the Earth. Yeah,
I think it doesn't, so I was thinking there, but
at the time, I was thinking there had to be
(26:35):
some I'm like, what would be spinning in a black hole?
And that's when I learned that it's gravity keeps things
from coming out of a black hole because it's just
super super super dense. And so then I started thinking, well,
if gravity doesn't have anything to do with spinning, how
are we stuck to the Earth? And yeah, they don't know.
(26:58):
Nobody knows. So then I got to thinking, well, if
gravity is so strong and it pulls things towards each other,
how come the Sun hasn't pulled us right in? And
that's a whole other thing trying to So we haven't
gone into the sun because we're speeding straight, but because
(27:21):
of gravity, we curve and so we're actually going straight,
but we're orbiting the Sun, but we're going straight.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
Yeah, so anyway, it'll make you go bonkers.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Yeah, yeah, So anyway, let's call Christopher dog maybe knows
the answer. He had to be he's got band practice. Yeah,
so he was, so he may be in his car.
I'll make him honk his worn. Hey, what's happening?
Speaker 1 (27:59):
You sound clean your car?
Speaker 3 (28:01):
I am like, can you honk your horn? No?
Speaker 1 (28:06):
Because then.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Come outside?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Hey, do you have a good easter?
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I did?
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah, what do you guys do?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
We went for a drive up north here to a
place called the Connor and just had lunch. Yeah. It's
just kind of nice. It's cool and I cool, very cool.
What did you all do?
Speaker 1 (28:32):
I went to I picked up my granddaughter and I
went to my other son's house and there was like
fifteen sixteen of us there and had lots of food
and hang out. It was pretty nice. It was it
was rainy, you know, it's crappy weather. And then all
of a sudden at noon, the clouds just went away
and it was nice. And then my my daughter in law,
(28:52):
god lover, she made all the kids, see all the grandkids.
The youngest one is like, well, uh or Eastern and
there's like thirteen. She's made them go honey Striggs and
they're like, we really don't want to do this, but
there was lots of candy.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
We made our girls at that age too.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Not now, but I think this may be the last
year for for the uh yeah, for the households to
honey Easter eggs. Just give them some money, just give
them twenty bush.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
You know. It's funny. I don't remember being excited about
hunting for Easter eggs either.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Oh I did.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
I did, and back when they were deviled eggs, I say,
But back then they were like real eggs, hard bulled eggs.
Yeah yeah, right, you just stuff your face and get sick.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And far what do you do now? I just put
those plastic eggs.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:35):
We usually put money. As our girls got older, we
just would fill them with money.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Yeah, there you go for that. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yeah, so here you're putting out a new album.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Yeah we knew that, so close to being done finally.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Okay, So so I've been looking online and there's actually
a printer there in your area, a presser or whatever
you call them. The press is vinyl. Have you checked
on prices.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
I haven't. Not on vinyl.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
I'm finding now I don't know everything, everything everything, but
I'm finding like for one hundred albums with a cover
with a jacket, jacket with the spine for one hundred
copies is around twelve hundred bucks. Twelve That's that's what
I'm seeing online. So investigate for us, and we can
(30:35):
get this done. We can get Vinyl done on your album.
I guarantee you.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (30:39):
I'll have to talk about it when the time cones.
I saw a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Though, well that yeah, But if a bunch of if
a couple of us pony up some money and you know,
we decide what you're going to sell the album for,
you're gonna make the money back. I promise you. I
mean you're gonna sell You're gonna sell a hundred albums.
I guarantee, you.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Oh sure, So anyway, I thought that before I have
I have several boxes of my album I made.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Hey you got the seventies?
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Both podcasts, Buddy, we got a hundred listeners that will
buy an album?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Yeah, yeah cool? Yeah we could do that absolutely hocket
for me. Yeah, our T shirts, we can make T shirts.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Singing really good though. I'm so happy with it.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Finally, just so, is it going to be available online
and then maybe press them?
Speaker 3 (31:29):
Oh yeah, he's gonna do d CD CDs.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
Oh okay, cool. I figure it will take me a
couple of weeks to get finished recording what needs to
be done. There's not a whole lot that needs to
be done. It's just lining up the time. Because I
don't like to singing my own backing vocals. I have
on a few songs on it. I like to get
other people involved, and it's up lining up schedules, like
(31:54):
tomorrow night. I finally got a session scheduled with some
friends that are gonna sing honest song. But that took
literally a month.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
Now are you are you having a book studio time
to do this or do you have a studio that
you use?
Speaker 2 (32:10):
This record has cost I mean it has cost because
I've you know, paid some Mostly it's friends who you know,
you like me, If a friend asked me to play
out the record, I charge anything. So luckily I got
a lot of friends in the same way. And you know,
but I you know, like I there's a website called
(32:33):
fiber dot com. Yeah yeah, and I got some dude
from over and I think one of the guys is
some Russia played cello on one song. Oh wow, guy
from Nashville played cello on another song. Yeah, it doesn't
it's like varying prices, but they go by like thirty
(32:55):
minute or thirty second, you know.
Speaker 4 (32:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
So, so do you mix the stuff at home or
do you have a studio you go to No?
Speaker 2 (33:05):
No, I mean we all have home studios.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, so it's all done at home. And you know,
so I started recording it January of twenty four, and
you know that hasn't been constant recording, of course. I
mean you burn out on it and get to take
a month off and even listening to it. But you know,
(33:31):
it's like it's one thing when you can go in
with a full band and just lay down tracks and
a couple of days you're done. This is you know,
most of it's me and my buddy Norm playing on it.
And then you know, again lining up, like I'll send
tracks to friends of mine and her bass players and go, okay,
(33:53):
you know, here's the basic idea. Like I'll lay down
the basic idea of what I went to the basis
sound like, and then I just don't consider myself a
bass player. I enjoy coming up with bass parts, but
it feels different and sounds different when a real bass
player plays on it. Yeah, and plus I like other
people's kind of they're flair on stuff, so it doesn't
(34:16):
all sound like me. Just think it makes it sound
like a better record. And so I'll just send it
to them. And they got their home studios and they
lay tracks. They'll send it to me and I go, oh,
it's so close. How about doing this here? Okay, you know,
and then let's come back with another take and yeah,
it usually only takes a couple of takes and then yeah,
(34:36):
so it's been done like that, so you know, it's
not just me going home every night and sitting down
and working on it. It's like, you know, friends, you know,
they got to work out their schedule to play.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
On her as well.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Sure, but yeah, it's I'm just down now to some
backing vocals and on like two songs, three songs, and
then I need to find another cello player for another song,
and so I'll probably use that fiber again.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So the name of the album is Love in Space,
is that right?
Speaker 2 (35:13):
Love in Space?
Speaker 1 (35:14):
Love in Space, and all the songs are all space.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, it started. You know, it's funny. I was just
back in January twenty four. I just I was sitting
down to go to bed one night, and I was like,
I like to do, like, okay, I'm not going to
go to bed until I put down it at least
an idea, and then I can listen to it tomorrow
work and see if I can think about what it
(35:40):
should be. So I just put down this like twelve
seconds of music. You know, well that sounds interesting, but
I don't know what it is, and I didn't have
any lyrics. So I just called it Taco Strut because
it kind of had this groove to it, and I
called it Taco strip because KP calls me taco. And
(36:01):
then the next day I kind of figured out that's
kind of spacey, and so I came up with lyrical
concept high above the Moon. And then then I sent
it to Norm. You know, I came home, I flushed
out the arrangement, recorded the basic basics of it, and
I sent it to my buddy Norman. He was a
keyboard player, and he put all these really awesome, you know,
(36:22):
lush keyboards on it. I was like, oh, this is great.
So that turned into this song, and I'm like, I
really like this song. And then I just well, I
got this other piece of music. I'll turn that one
into I'll call it Superstar and just kind of and
so it just became there. For a while I was writing,
(36:42):
you know, you know, for like a couple of weeks,
I was writing like a song a night, you know,
and just one night, I wrote two songs in one night,
you know, and just I'd record them, send it to Norm.
He'd put the keyboards on it. You know. We go
back and forth like how about this, how about that?
And then it just yeah, so that's cool. It just
(37:03):
turned into this and then I just decided, well, this
is all going to be a thematic album. At least
at that time, it was like, it's all going to
be the songs about with a spacey kind of concept
to them, and then I came up with I don't
know if I put this song here in the song here,
in that one there, and it actually became somewhat of
a story, you know, so it's actually has a story
(37:27):
to it. I don't know if you could follow this
story from listening to the album, but there's a basic
you know, yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Is this artwork that you posted on Facebook? Is that
going to be on the album?
Speaker 2 (37:40):
That's going to be the album cover. Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Yeah, So I'm looking at it here and on the
right there's like a sign or something on a building.
It's kind of green.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
It's called the landing. Yeah, oh, the green. I don't
know what that green is.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That that was just in the artwork, Okay, it was
like it looks like a little grimlin or something.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I don't know, I don't know what that is. But
I had another friend put it. Originally did it was
just a sign on the other side, but I had
him put the landing because at the beginning of the album,
it starts with all this chaos because the ship is
landing and KP does this like radio announcer, you know,
(38:21):
thing like about you know, the ship is just you know,
dropped out of the sky above the Landing Back Club downtown.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Did she did she sing on any of the songs?
Speaker 2 (38:37):
She hasn't yet. We're discussing it the other night. It's
just really because I don't have a portable. It's it's
just that's the only reason I haven't had her singing
on it. Is like I always go to her place,
you know, it's more difficult for her to get to
my place just because of work schedules and stuff and
(38:59):
you know times that I have where I'm able to record,
and so it just hasn't happened yet. But I really
want to try and do that before it's done, you know.
So we were talking about the other day, trying to
get her at least singing back ups one song, you know.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (39:15):
So, yeah, it's it's come along. I it sounded like
I don't. I sent you guys a track a long time.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Yeah, and it.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Like you should hear that track down. Oh my god, Yeah,
I don't know. Several months ago, my buddy Danny said, hey,
let me let me do this and let me tweak
something on this, you know, send me the tracks, let
me tweet this. And now it's daily. It's great because
(39:52):
I can be working on the album while at home
because Danny's working on it, you know during the day.
You know, I can just He'll send me mixes and
I'll go turn this up, turn this down, how about
you know this idea? And so we've been working, you know,
on it constantly. He's just got it. He's been able
(40:13):
to dial in sounds. It's like, well, this sounds so
much better than I thought it so cool. So yeah,
it's been really cool.
Speaker 3 (40:20):
Well, we are excited.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Is it okay?
Speaker 2 (40:24):
So done? If I can move on to the next thing?
Speaker 1 (40:26):
Is it now? I asked if it's going to be
available online? But can you like do a digital download
of it?
Speaker 2 (40:33):
That's that's where it'll go first, is the digital download.
Speaker 1 (40:37):
Stuff, and then and hopefully that does well and that
could help pay for some pressings. Yeah, And like I only.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
I only planned on printing up initially, like one hundred
CDs because you know, not making people use CDs anymore.
I think I figure most people are going to download it,
so yeah, but I like to have a physical copy
in my hand, you know.
Speaker 3 (41:03):
Well, and I won a vinyl copy, so we're gonna
we're going to figure this out.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yeah, yeah, that would be fun. But yeah, like just
to give you an idea, one hundred c is gonna
cost me like three hundred dollars.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
Yeah, oh that's not bad.
Speaker 2 (41:17):
So you know, there's the difference between cvs and vinyl. Yeah,
so much more expensive to do vinyl. But man, how
cool would it be to have an actual vinyl copy
of it? Yeah.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
There's some guys in Enid that started a band and
it was when I think it was Bush or somebody
came out against raw some rock and roll song and
so they named their group the Satanic Republicans and they
recorded an album and somehow somebody gave it to me,
(41:54):
like probably twenty thirty years ago, and somehow got stuck
in a box and I unboxed it, I don't know
a year ago, and I had like a Kansas album
in there, and I had that Satanic Republican's unopened album
and it's it's so damn good. Yeah, it's got Dave
(42:18):
Dave Gingy on it.
Speaker 1 (42:19):
Yeah, and the album is so good.
Speaker 3 (42:22):
I listened to it all the time. But it's it's
so cool that it's a vinyl album of these guys
just and they didn't even I don't even know they
were together very long, I don't think so. Yeah, he's
been in a bunch of bands longer than that one.
I don't think that one was together even a year.
But so I've thought about talking to him and finding
out where he got got his printed. Of course it
(42:44):
was a long time ago, so but anyway, it just
it's just cool to have vinyl. Oh yeah, I mean
I love it, and with the resurgence, I think I
think it would sell more than a CD.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Would I mean, it might, it might.
Speaker 3 (43:01):
Yeah, we'll figure it out, but.
Speaker 2 (43:03):
That would have to be like a GoFundMe thing.
Speaker 1 (43:06):
I couldn't.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (43:08):
Yeah, but you got it.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
We've all got a lot of friends out there, so
we'll we'll we'll investigate this and let everybody know.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
Everybody donate ten bucks.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
I was gonna say it, you're gonna pay thirty bucks
for an album anyway.
Speaker 2 (43:23):
So if everybody paid, that's crazy.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
I know, but I'm doing it. Everybody's doing it. If
you want an album, that's what you got to pay
twenty five thirty bucks.
Speaker 1 (43:32):
For a new album for a new album, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
So.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Uh So anyway, well we're going to get it figured out.
Keep in touch.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
Who did your artwork, you know, buddy of mine was
messing around. His name is Kevin O'Connell. Never met him,
lives in Florida, just internet, you know, Facebook friend, and
he was sending me stuff that he was creating with AI,
and I said, you know, hey, tell it to create
(44:04):
a guy standing in the middle of a city street
looking up and there's a heart shaped spaceship above.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (44:10):
Yeah, and it came back pretty close to that. But
what you're looking at, what you see, that heart shaped
spaceship was created, you know, and put over the one
that was that AI created.
Speaker 3 (44:26):
You know.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
So there's been some alterations to that, to that picture
from what Kevin originally created.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
But it kind of reminds me of the Boston album.
Speaker 3 (44:36):
If you guys go to Christopher Todd Davis, yeah, his
Facebook page, you'll see what we're talking about.
Speaker 2 (44:42):
Somebody said it mind him of a Blade Runner.
Speaker 1 (44:44):
Oh yeah, for you know, the colors.
Speaker 3 (44:46):
When I first saw it without looking, I mean, it
just came across my screen really quick. Stranger things.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
It hit me as it hit me for some reason,
I was like, what does he do? Is he sharing
his stranger things? And then when I looked at it closer,
I realized what it was. But it struck me as
a stranger thing.
Speaker 1 (45:02):
It has.
Speaker 3 (45:03):
It has that stranger things feel to it.
Speaker 2 (45:05):
Vibe to it.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Yeah yeah, it.
Speaker 2 (45:09):
Else it looks like a like a pulp fiction and
you know forties pulp fiction novel.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
Yeah yeah, it's got a good cool vibe to it.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
So heart shaped spaceship, that's cool, huh yeah yeah, And
that's all in the intro to. You know, somebody's been
saying it's shaped like a giant metallic hearts. KP did
a great job. It was funny. I just said, I
wrote out the script. This is how this recording has gone.
Some of this stuff. I just wrote out the script
(45:38):
one day. It worked. You know, I want this is
what I want, you know, you know, the loud speaker
voice to be saying. I kind of pictured as a
loudspeaker voice going out over a city, you know, when
there's chaos going on. So there's all these people screaming.
And I just sent it to her and said, you know,
(45:59):
you're a uh you're a newscaster or you know, just
say just read these lines. And so she dated into
her phone and then I just flew it into the session.
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Cool? It ever reminds me of H. G. Wells or
The World?
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, yeah, that kind of thing. Yeah, yeah, it's so yeah,
it starts like that, and yeah it's really I say,
you know, I don't know if anybody else is gonna
like it, but I'm really proud of the songs, you know,
especially lyrically. It's like, hey, I kind of like all these.
Speaker 1 (46:36):
Kind very cool, very cool. I can't wait.
Speaker 3 (46:40):
Yeah, looking forward to it. Uh, have you seen anything
on TV?
Speaker 1 (46:45):
Good?
Speaker 3 (46:45):
Bad? Ugly?
Speaker 2 (46:49):
What's that new Wallberg movie yesterday?
Speaker 1 (46:51):
That one Risk and the Plane? Yeah, that's disturbing because
I don't like see any bold.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
I've been wanting to see that.
Speaker 1 (46:57):
How was it?
Speaker 2 (47:00):
Yeah? I think I said this for my buddy, and
I have a saying that like movies that aren't great,
it's a good way to kill an hour and a half. Okay,
it wasn't great, but it was entertaining and you certainly
found yourself going what the hell are you doing? You know?
But it Yeah, it was entertaining. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (47:23):
Would you watch it again?
Speaker 2 (47:26):
Yeah? I think i'd watch it.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Okay, we'll save two hours and don't watch wolf Man.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Wolf Man I never heard it. If you and I
have started watching uh black mirror, black movie watching that
sounds from it sounds familiar, kind of like it's kind
of like I wouldn't say twilight Zone. Really some episodes are,
but you know it's not. It's a series, but it's not.
(47:52):
They're not connected, so you can watch any episode in whatever,
kind of like twilight Zone. They're different stories, you know
what I mean. And some are pretty pretty strippy, like
one with Bryce Dellis Howard was people rate you like
with their phones, like like like let's say that we
(48:14):
had a conversation, you know, I met you one of
you on the street and we had a conversation. I
would walk away and I would rate that conversation, which
went across all social media. And your rating is and
so your rating is how you do everything in life.
(48:35):
Like I'm sorry, we can't let you in this house.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
Your ratings, Oh wow, interesting you to get up to
a four point.
Speaker 1 (48:43):
That's a good idea.
Speaker 2 (48:44):
You so you purposely, you know, so you have to
be extra friendly to people so they give you a
better rating.
Speaker 1 (48:51):
That's the idea. We should do that, so everybody it
was it was a.
Speaker 2 (48:56):
Cool little story. I really enjoyed. It was, you know,
and of course you know, at some point, you know,
you kind of lose your ship and go on on
somebody and all of a sudden rating coasts. So it's
it was a good little episode. I liked it. But
I do like too that it's not it's you can
(49:17):
watch in the episode whatever order you want, So.
Speaker 3 (49:20):
I think I might try to find that up. I
like Bryce Dallas Howard.
Speaker 1 (49:26):
Check her out.
Speaker 2 (49:28):
Okay, man, the whole band is here, so I got
to jump.
Speaker 3 (49:31):
Okay, I said, we got to get out of here too.
So appreciate you, and we'll keep everybody updated on the album.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
All right, fellas, love you, bye bye.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
I'm excited.
Speaker 3 (49:42):
Okay, everybody. Yeah, we're watching radar here in Oklahoma. We've
got uh wow, that one above us expanded. Of course
it expanded after it went past us, and then we
got a little Idoby one heading towards us. So we
got some severe weather here throughout oak Lahoma.
Speaker 1 (50:00):

doornated chasing come to Oklahoma in April May. It could
happen usually does Okay, anything else before we get out of.
