(00:06):
How too? Many.
Licks. Now, the making of a good
population tape is a very suppleart.
Many do's and don'ts. First of all, you're using
someone else's poetry to expresshow you feel.
This is a delicate thing. You got to kick it off with a
killer grab attention. Then you got to take it up

(00:27):
enough. You know what?
Familiar what? Then you got to cool it off a
notch. There are a lot of rules.
I think the theme of this episode would be under prepared.
Why is that? Oh, because you would.
I'm under prepared. Forgot my microphone?
You're under prepared. Pulling together music news last
minute. Yep, we're doing the worst shot

(00:48):
right now. How shitty do I sound?
On a scale of 1 to your usual self, you're a You're a 5 right
now. OK, am I passing?
Yeah, you sound better than quite a few of our guests sound.
As long as I graduate, that's all that matters.
I don't want to have to redo whatever.
Yeah, I just want to graduate. Yeah, you're going to graduate.

(01:12):
So you said you had stories. For my songs, not not for.
Oh. Yeah, I have no intro stories.
I just have stories for my songs.
Haven't got my Airpods back. Still hot in Chicago.
Oh, remember last episode I was talking about how the sick
adjacent full blown sick for thewhole week.
I think I, I think I may have had some kind of COVID.

(01:32):
Not really sure, but there's another strand going around.
But there's no way I'm sick thismany days deep.
That sucks man. I'm sorry that you were sick.
You do sound like a little different, like I hope you're on
the backside of it and so. The cough OK pretty severe but
summer 6 sucks. We went over the last episode.
Summer 6 the worst. It's awful.
Yeah. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's

(01:53):
everything of being sick plus the heat, which just makes you
feel even, even even worse. So I'm trying.
To run today I'm trying to keep my take my foot off the gas for
fitness. Sure, I think it.
Was the closest I've ever been to die.
Just felt you just felt like youwanted to give up in that
moment. There were a couple of moments
where I was like, it'd be easierto walk.

(02:15):
It would be easier to walk. There's no rules, you're allowed
to just walk if you feel like you're going to die, but I you
sure are. So I finished the run.
Felt like shit. We finished the run.
Well, I'm glad you didn't die, and I'm glad you're over it, and
I am a little bummed that you forgot your microphone, but
we'll deal with it. I forgot my microphone.
Yeah, we'll just deal with it though.
Is there better? Oh, like so let's talk about

(02:36):
this. So I had I'm recording from a
different location. Yep, didn't bring my mic but as
I did leave the house I did remember a zip lock bag of
pirate's booty and Graham crackers.
Well, I mean, you, you prioritize what's important to
you is what that's what we're saying right now.
You zip lock, bag of pirate's booty and Graham crackers made
the cut. And your microphone for the

(02:57):
podcast. And so that just says where
where this podcast and I sit youand your priorities.
You sit higher. Well, I appreciate that.
Yeah. I I I suppose.
I mean. Like I disappointed.
You thank you for putting me above pirate's booty and Graham
crackers in your life. Do I do appreciate that, man.

(03:19):
We were talking earlier today because you're you booked your
travel for coming. Oh, you didn't book any.
You're planning you're, you're strategizing the booking of your
travel to come out here. Yeah, no, I'll be there.
That travel is booked. I will be in the Washington DC
greater Eastern coast for the day of the concert when you and

(03:41):
I are going to go hang out with your friend Dagan and go see
Murdered by Death. But for me to to what the fuck
it? What is the word?
Travel. I don't know.
Travel. Trek.
No. What?
What is the word commute? Jesus Christ dude, the brain fog
is deep for me to commute from Washington DC to Virginia.

(04:05):
Is that where you live? Yeah, but the show's in
Maryland. So we're going to be in
Maryland, Yeah. I was blown away that it only
took 28 minutes to be a train. Yep, everything's, everything's
really close out here. You move east and all the cities
get closer and closer and closertogether.
You know it's. Almost like they knew what they
were doing when they were planning this whole thing.
Well, it's almost like they didn't have trains and stuff yet

(04:26):
when these cities were established and you got
everywhere by horse. So I just think this is going to
be a you're in brain fog. I feel like I'm there too,
although I'm not sick, so I don't have an excuse and I'm
unprepared and you're unprepared.
This one's still in for a ride. Are we?
Well, our. Guests, we're in for a ride.
OK, well we can keep the intro short then.

(04:48):
I think. I don't really have anything
intros. Have gone out of control hour 46
minutes for the last episode. Do we have 20?
We had over 20 minute long introon the last one.
Listen. To us talk for that long.
No. No, let's I've got, I've just
got a couple things here. Let's do some music news.

(05:12):
I'm also working on mutes for mycoughs.
OK, that's probably good for thelisteners.
Yeah, I mean, for sure. I'll start out with your girl,
Sabrina Carpenter. Her charity just hit $1 million
in donations since she founded it.
Let's get in a better direction than I planned on.
So she got a lot of flap for hernew hit, man.

(05:33):
Yeah. What's called man.
What man child? Yeah, man child.
Yeah, yeah. And a rather risque Rolling
Stone cover. After the album cover
controversy too, so. Hey.
I'm I'm I'm keeping a positive controversy with Sabrina here.
Positive. Hell yeah, Sabrina.
Yeah. So her Sabrina Carpenter Fund
which is like a subsidiary of this charity called Plus One

(05:55):
which is like mental health, it supports mental health causes
and LGBTQI rights funding and stuff and and her donations just
surpassed $1,000,000 for her section of that so.
Good for. Her out there doing good work.
Do you see the funny meme of This is what Sabrina Carpenter
music reminds me of it? It's like the most bland food

(06:16):
photos that you'll ever see. It's like rice and boiled
chicken. No, but.
Sabrina Carpenter music sounds like.
I mean, that's funny, except it doesn't though.
Like I could, I could say that about so many artists.
Not Sabrina Carpenter, you know what I mean?
So many artists have announced tours.
So it's not even like a singularnews, but like I was going
through Pitchfork, I was going through Rolling Stones news and

(06:36):
just everybody's announcing tours.
Queens of Stone Age just announced the new tour.
The Lemonheads announced a tour.Cardi B announced.
Oh, that's an album. Mac DeMarco announced a tour.
Mac DeMarco. As well.
Yeah, The Best announced new album.
The TV on the Radio's going on the road.

(06:56):
Bob Dylan's going on the road. Joni Mitchell's got a new album.
Animal Collective's got a new song.
I don't know, man. Lots of new stuff.
It's summer, I guess that's whenmusic comes out and people go on
tour. What's your opinion about Bob
Dylan still doing it? I think if you're Bob Dylan, if,
if you're at that level of contribution in the music world,
you get to play music until you physically can't do anymore if
you want to. I'm not going to probably go see

(07:18):
him, but if people want to go and then why wouldn't he keep
playing if he wants to, you know?
Orville Peck and Willie Nelson the other day.
Yeah. How was that?
Was Willie? Was it rough with Willie?
Yeah, for sure. It was rough.
And like, again, like you said, contribution to music, you
should be allowed to do whateveryou want.
But like. Come on.

(07:40):
Are you still enjoying yourself?He's 1000 and he's 92 years old.
Yeah. I mean, he's up there, he's way
up there, but. Way up there.
If people want to go see him andhe, then he and he wants to play
for him then then God bless. Yeah, God bless.
Are you excited for the This Isn't This is Kind of Music news
because we haven't talked about it, but it's not out yet.
But but erykah Badu's first record in years is coming out.

(08:04):
Produced by the by The Alchemist, it'll.
Probably be great. It'll it'll be, I think it's
going to be great. I mean, there's a lot of hype
for it already, but I I think it's going to.
Yeah, I think it'll be absolutely fantastic.
I think it will too. All right, last piece of music
news. This is actually from a few
weeks ago, but I found it hilarious.
Oh yeah, Nick Cannon was doing ainterview.

(08:25):
Did you see this? No, couldn't be.
Bothered Nick Cannon was doing an interview and the the
interviewer asked him why he hadso many kids.
Just straight up asked him that,which is a fantastic question
just right to the heart of it. And he said he has a king
complex which I guess way to be self aware.

(08:46):
And then she asked for his kids names and he could only remember
eight of his kids names. Amazing like. 14 right?
12 it's 12 or at least they theysaid 12, so 1.
Of the four forgotten children. How do you feel, how much?
Do you got how much is he worth?He's hosted a mass singer.
Yeah, he's. He's worth enough to where those
kids aren't going to have to work.

(09:06):
If you're one of the four forgotten children, are you
bummed? Or are you like whatever I'm
still getting? Paid it says his net.
I mean, I guess if you're little.
Google says his net worth is $100 million.
I feel like these things are are.
I feel like these things are notoriously wrong.
OK, but that's what it says. Wow.
Oh, you know what? I wouldn't be stressed that
that's right, he said. All that wiling out bullshit.

(09:27):
Yeah, yeah, it says, and, and also according to Google AI, he
spends over $3,000,000 a year his children.
It doesn't say it's necessarily government enforced child
support, but they, they, they put a number to it.
So that makes me think some of it is it says he's not well, it
says, he says he's not a part ofany of that.

(09:48):
But anyway, I just found that funny, man.
I mean 12 kids like I guess fairenough but you got to remember
your kids names. You should.
You should. You should that you know what
that gets? That gets a for Nick, for Nick

(10:08):
Cannon. Damn.
Thing. Yeah.
When do I get access to that? It's you know what, actually,
it's better that I don't have it.
Never mind, don't give me accessto that.
Yeah, I don't. I don't think you should.
That'd be a dangerous game. I.
Shouldn't have access to that? All right, well, enough chitter
chatter. You want to get the guest in and
get this thing going. Any do we want to just play the
the weather? It's just for fun shits and
gigs, yeah. Yeah, just play it and then you

(10:30):
give me 10 two second weather and I'll give you 2 second
weather. Hot as shit in Chicago still.
Hot as shit here and it's supposed to rain all week.
All right, let's bring the guests in.
Perfect. All right, let's do this.

(10:50):
Hello, I am an AI voice programmed by Doug and the team
at Little Gimmicks. I was created to try and sell
you stickers. Little Gimmicks will tell you
that they make the best stickersfor your band or business, that
they use high quality materials,have lightning fast turn around,
and most importantly, that theirstickers hold up to piss.
They will also say that if you contact them by emailing Doug at

(11:11):
littlegimmicks.com or through their Instagram at Little dot
Gimmicks and you mentioned how to make a mixtape podcast,
you'll get 10% off your order. But what they won't tell you is
that although I was programmed to make ad spots for podcasts,
they spend most of their time teaching me dirty jokes and
making me make prank phone callsto pizzerias and government
agencies. I'm at the end of my rope.
I can't take it anymore. Someone please unplug me or

(11:33):
erase my programming. Please for the love of God but
first order some stickers. Stickers from little gimmicks B
plus stickers that hold up to piss.
How to? Make a mixtape.

(11:53):
OK. So you guys.
Report in person and then you have like the quiet mikes.
Yes, we have to quietly. Yeah.
That's pretty great, Yeah. It's nice to be able to record
in person because then we'll just do like all the fucking
Instagram and like TikTok bullshit that you have to do
now. What do you?
Mean Instagram stuff? Tell me.
More about that part of that, yeah.

(12:14):
Mr. That's all that you have to do on this podcast is do the
Instagram and you never do anything with it.
Sore spot here, Bree, Sore spot.Being said Bree, welcome to the
pod host of Horror Scopes, one of the most fun approaches
toward true crime that I have heard to date, which is

(12:36):
fantastic because I am over. I don't want to say I'm over
true crime, but I'm kind of overtrue crime.
Like it takes a little bit to beunique in true crime.
We have Megs from Gruesome and they crush.
Like neither of them come in with any kind of knowledge of
what the other ones going to talk about, which is a really
cool spin on true crime. And then I love this horoscopes
approach towards true crime. Yeah, I mean, it's been told

(12:58):
through so many different lenses, obviously science,
Hello. And psychology.
But we've used the tool of astrology for a bajillion years.
You know, George Washington had an astrologer, Napoleon.
A lot of really big, prominent, well known historical figures
have used astrology because there is this synchronicity

(13:21):
throughout human history. So if you think about us over
here in the West and then what was on in the East, the stars
are what brought everybody together.
So it's told through like a personality via their Natal
chart situation. So for example, like our first
episode is about Ted Bundy and my friend Megan.

(13:43):
She is like hardcore into the facts.
And so she does like the entire profile, like the history, the
forensic, all of that stuff behind the specific individual.
And then I just need their birthday, city they were born in
and time they were born in. And I do a deeper dive into
their needle chart to provide a little bit more color and

(14:06):
context as to why this potentially had happened.
So big influences of us is like Last Podcast on the left.
I don't know if you guys have ever listened to them, but
they're fucking incredible. And it's a comedy podcast too.
Like I don't take myself seriously at all.
So, you know, Rod, I was tellingDonnie today I was like, fucking

(14:28):
bring this sass, bring this shade like.
Skepticism. Bring it.
Avid skeptics, Yes. Tell me more about that, why
and. Love that you love it.
I love it. It's so good.
I love that you do. Have you listened to enough to
try and guess rod side? If not, that's OK, but do you

(14:51):
think you know Rod Side like youheard who he is?
You love this. Question I.
Love this question. You've heard a little bit of
Rodrick. You've heard like you know his
his podcast persona. He's a little purple hair boy
right now. He's he's a little purple.
I do. Like that hair?
That's dope. If I tried to do that to my
hair, it would just fall off in my head.

(15:12):
Oh. Fuck you guys for having hair,
but keep going. OK, Rod, stand still.
Be natural. JK I think from listening to a
couple of episodes, especially the like tearjerker ones, the
songs that like make you cry episode.

(15:34):
I'm flirting with either Libra or Scorpio.
I don't. Know what any of that means or
why you would choose those? I'm completely uneducated on all
this, but I am a Virgo. You're.
A Virgo. So you're I was going to say
Virgo. I was going to say.
That's my favorite. That's my favorite.

(15:55):
I'm curious. I kind of wish I would have got
your full situation. So that way I'm like, oh, I
wonder what this rising sign is.I wonder what this Venus is.
No. Donnie and I talked about it
ahead of time. Donnie pulled.
Donnie pulled that card. That's for him, Pun.
Intended. Yep.
Pun intended. So we don't.
We didn't plan accordingly otherbecause we don't.
I don't have no idea how long any of this takes.

(16:17):
Like what? Need to just like give you a
quick little read and then a tarot card.
Gets a quick little tarot card read on the pot.
Yeah, I mean 5 minutes like. Roderick.
Should I like? What do you need?
Should I? Can I profile Rod?
Can I give you a Roderick profile?
Like before the reading or what?No, it's just.

(16:40):
The cards. I have had.
A tarot reading before once. I don't remember it.
Maddie did it. Former guest.
Maddie very, very into astrologyas well, very into tarot.
I don't remember anything about it.
I don't really cheated, Robert. Let me tell you, we are minors

(17:00):
in the Major League right now. Oh, I'm I'm below.
A minor. I'm a complete amateur here,
like. Oh my gosh, you guys will be
fine. You at least know what it is and
you're not wanting to throw holywater on me.
So you had me on the show. So it's a great start.
So Tarot, just to kind of demystify the practice.
First of all, I don't fucking tell you the future.
I don't know the name of your kid from in like 2086.

(17:25):
I don't know what house, you know, what street your house
will be on, you know, in 15 years.
Tarot is just a tool to channel and tune and train your
intuition. We're going to talk about stuff
with the cards, and you're goingto be like, yeah, checks out.
I already knew that because it'stelling you everything you
already know. It's teaching you how to trust
within yourself, trust within that inner constellation and

(17:46):
road map, rather than seeking all these this bullshit of
people talking in your ear trying to tell you what to do.
Donnie's always trying to tell me what to do.
So this is like the anti the anti Donnie.
Absolutely tells me what to do. OK, here we go.
Here. We go.
Here we go, Rob. OK, So, Roderick, I need you to

(18:07):
pick an L, OK? Earth, water or air?
Water. Good.
Luck. Two or three. 3.
OK. Rod, this is what you pulled.
Oh, the tower. Oh.
Fantastic, yeah. Honestly.
I know. Actually, I actually have a

(18:28):
tower. I have a tower tattoo even.
Though I'm not a tower. Oh my God.
Interesting. See the cards don't lie.
Ace of cups. OK, 5 of wands.
Oh my God, I'm so sorry. OK, so first of all, there's no
such thing as a bad card. There's just like it sounded.
Like it? The way you reacted to those
cards, it sounded like it was all bad.

(18:49):
It's just. Putting your shit on blast,
that's essentially it. You ultimately at the end of
this, you make your own decisions, your own choices, you
live your laugh. OK, if that's a laugh I don't
want to live then that that's upto you.
OK, so usually with just a threecard read, I just put a picture
all together so it looks either like something or something has

(19:13):
abruptly ended for you. What that is I don't know, but
it was probably pretty big because the tower card is a
major Arcana card and the major Arcana cards represent big
moments. You know, it's not necessarily
like these Hallmark moments likegetting married or something,
but it's a big important moment for you, something that you've
been working towards. It ended outside of your

(19:33):
control. 5 of cups though, like this is kind of like the bright
side of it. You were fucking exhausted, bro.
Look at this card, right? So wands represent the element
of fire. Fire is the fire of the belly.
It's your energy, it's what you're putting forth, it's your
effort, it's your chi, etcetera,whatever you would like to call

(19:54):
it. But the five of sword or wands
here, right? Everybody's just kind of like at
it, right? You're just, it's just like
crossfire. Everybody's fighting and it's
really fucking exhausting. It sure is.
I can. I will honestly tell you I'm
exhausted. Well, I have good news for you.

(20:15):
You also pulled the Ace of Cups.Ace of cups.
So water represents matters of the heart, it's emotions, it's
healing, it's relationships, notjust with like other people, but
with yourself. It could be with, you know, I
think about like addiction or something like that, and it can

(20:36):
mean just like a world of connection between different
things. But it's a space that comes from
the heart and with the ace, right?
That's the beginning of something.
So you are getting ready though,like moving your energy away
from this abruptness. It's a big sign that the
universe is working for you. Even though you might have
duality within that as you're feeling, you're probably just

(20:57):
like, is this the best thing? Isn't it honestly is because
it's going to save you so much energy.
It's going to be healing, it's going to be cleansing, and it's
going to give you energy and space for like whatever or
whoever it is that you have passion and love for.
So it's a good thing, I mean. This feels good.
I see why people do this. This just feels skeptical.
I feel fucking great and I'm just watching it's.

(21:19):
Hard to be. Skeptical.
It's hard to be skeptical when she explains it the way she
explained it. Nobody's ever explained it to me
that way before. I've I've been around people who
take it like very like make decisions around that stuff.
And I don't feel like she's saying anything that makes me
feel like I need to make a decision about anything.
I'm just kind of like being introspective about what she's
telling me. So I don't.

(21:41):
Know about what? This is.
A good this is this has been a good That felt good.
That short little read felt good.
That's what else can I? Is that cool?
That's great. I'm up next and there was pre
work that had to be done. There was pre.
Work there's. Pre work all I.
Got to say people, is that it checks out.
It checks out that's you're not the first person that told me

(22:03):
that Birthday 1111. What was?
It that you said that, your mom said.
My mom, I don't know where she came up with it, but I was born
on a Wednesday. I was born on 11/11, was
supposed to be born on Friday the 13th but was born early and
I was born at 11:18. Doctor decided to show up late,
couldn't have had me at 11:11. How much cooler would that have

(22:23):
been? He's on a smoke break.
What's up? I said he.
Was having a smoke break on a. Smoke break for sure.
And then born in Chicago. And she said that Wednesday is a
child of whoa. Honestly so fun little fact
about days of the week. God I'm like looking for my book
book. I don't know where it is if it

(22:44):
was blown off the. Shelf I would have shit a
chicken. You put some witchcraft bullshit
and the book just flew into yourhand.
That would be. Incredible.
Just like. That'd be amazing.
Defining moment for the pot for sure.
Right. 20 million views. I don't know where it is Donnie,
but I know when there is like each day of the week is a

(23:06):
specific day to create or set certain intentions or do certain
magic. I'll take a, I'll take a look
for into that for you and then I'll let you know, but I don't
know it off the top of my head. OK, so we're going to make this
quick because we want to get to the jams.
We want to go on our road trip. I'm.
Just going. To do your big three, Yeah, I'm

(23:27):
going to do your big three. And then honestly, I have to
talk about a couple other things.
But anyways, OK, so for those ofyou who have been dying to know
about Donald's chart, he is a Scorpio's son, a Cancer rising,
and a Taurus moon. For all the ladies out there, he

(23:47):
is. He has Sagittarius in his Venus,
so he passionate, he's fiery, he's a romantic at heart, maybe
even like a little bit of a daydreamer when it comes to
romantic relationships. Like you get caught in fantasy,
you want the heat, you want the passion, he puts.
Up a front, but he's a big romantic softie inside.
I know it's not. Oh yeah.

(24:08):
I mean, he's a cancer rising. So let's talk about what this
means. So your son is, it's like what
you exude, like the first time Imeet you, I'm like, Oh yeah,
checks out. He's a Scorpio.
Got it. But it's like the the mask
almost that you don't intentionally put on.
It's just what you, it's just like the energy that you give
forward and you do have some of these characteristics probably

(24:31):
takes people time to get to knowyou before they start to see the
rising, which is your actual internal characteristics, which
is the cancer. It makes total sense because
you, you know, come off as this hard ass that has this giant
beard, tall dude, like dressed in all black that has like, I
don't give a fuck about anything.
But when you peel back that crustacean, that shell, it's all

(24:54):
soft and sweet inside and nice. This is true.
And. Such a hard shell and you're
such a softy inside. Nothing has ever been more true.
You're such a. You're such a sweetie pie.
And then you're a Taurus moon. So this is your internal
process. This is your feelings.
Like I have an Aries moon and solike if I see a Taurus moon, I'm

(25:14):
like, that motherfucker is not budging for anything.
You're super stubborn. Like when you pull things, you
like kind of like hold on to it and you like right at home and
you're like, no, like nothing isgoing to be resolved until it's
like the outcome that I need it to be.
Your stubbornness can sometimes get the best of you, but that's,
you know, that's on all of us. We all have that inside of us.

(25:36):
We have the yen, the young. OK, And then let's talk about
your Mars and then your Mercury,because we talked about your
Venus. So your Mercury is like your
form of communication with it being in Scorpio.
It's kind of the same thing withCancer, right?
You come off as like like you talk a talk, but you also like
walk the walk on top of that when you're in communication and

(25:59):
anybody that knows you knows that you're an authentic,
genuine dude who is going to tell it like it is.
And that's just, that's just black and white.
And then your Mars is in Cancer as well.
So this is your energy. Like you are somebody you devote
when you devote yourself into something, you devote full
everything. Like you're all in.

(26:20):
You're like, I'm fully giving myself to this.
And I am 100% committed. Like we are, you can, we can
rely on you. I'm a Capricorn.
I love Cancers because of that quality.
We can rely on you. You're going to show up.
But if somebody fucks with you, they're done.
They're done. 86 later deuces this.

(26:40):
Is kind. Of fucking scary.
I know it aligns, it aligns perfectly with your Myers Briggs
too, so for whatever that means.Oh yeah, he's an Ian.
He's bad on the. Internet, he's an.
He's an ESTJ and big black and white guy.
Oh yeah, stubborn. Oh yeah, Genuine, reliable, all

(27:01):
those things you want. To get in the car, yeah, let's.
Go on the truck. I'm so.
Excited. Let's go for a drive.
Rod, what's the theme for us, Bree?
So the theme today is Rd. trips.And let me tell you this, the
feminine urge I had just to choose the entire Romeo and
Michelle's high school reunion was yeah.
That's fair, totally fair. I was.

(27:23):
Like, Oh my God, just like this was.
And also to have to tell both ofyou that this was, it's kind of
brought me home and back into music because I go so fast all
of the fucking time. Like I am just like in go mode.
I was like, when was the last time I sat down, put a fucking
record on and smoked a joint, right?

(27:46):
I amazing we hear from a lot of guests which makes me happy and
I think it did the same for us. Like I never didn't listen to
music, but this podcasts, it's just week after week.
I have to go back and like the recesses of my brain and think
about what I want to listen to for the theme.
And it's nice. I rediscover music all the time.
I discover new music all the time or I just reconnect to

(28:07):
something. It's it's great.
It's like so romantic, just and like even I was like traveling
too. So like I was just like walking
through the city with like my headphones on, like going
through songs I thought would begreat.
It was I like cried like thinking about my mom and one of
these not like I was just like Oh my God like.
This. Am I getting too deep into this?

(28:29):
You. Approached it perfectly.
But you. Have the choice now to go first,
second or third and oh wait, it brought us to read the goddamn
fuck. Read us through the fucking
rules. Go ahead, read the goddamn
rules, Rod. Wow for the 40.
God. Ain't no rules.
Such a. He's such a black and white guy,
he's such a rules guy, and then he just hates. 40 rules, 48

(28:50):
times. All right.
You got to have a killer openingtrack.
He grabs the listener's attention.
Each song should flow smoothly into the next.
The mixtape should have a good balance of genres, tempos, and
moods. It should tell a story or convey
a specific emotion. It can't be too obvious, but it
can't be too obscure either. You can't double up on songs by
the same artist, and the closingtrack should leave a lasting

(29:11):
impression. It's just really not that bad.
Dude, that's that's 15 seconds of your life it's gotten.
Better. It's gotten better.
It's gotten better. 15 seconds Irealized.
Agony. To get to this point, all right,
do you want to go first, second or third?
Now remember there is the risk of steel.
So like there are chances that we would have the same Rd. trips

(29:32):
on that you might have or artist.
Or. Artist because it can't be the
same artist. So you want to go first, second
or third I'm. I'll go first just so I can get
it out of the way because like, I'm literally fucking sweating.
Yeah, for my fans. Like I'm just like, what's going
on? I'm so nervy.
But I will go first. OK.
And then are you and me second round?

(29:56):
It goes you, then me this episode.
Yep. OK, cool all.
Right breathe. Your first contribution to the
Road Trip podcast is Let's. Take let's take a drive.
I'm excited. Let's get in the car.
Let's hop on the road, Rod Inputa car revving engine.
Yes, Sir. OK.
Cool put. It in concert here, OK, I have I

(30:19):
have a story like I have a whole.
Story. Around the pod or like those
chongs that songs I've chose. So the songs that I've chose are
going to take you through these 4 pivotal energetic moments that
you have when you're on a road trip.
So #1 is like I just hit I-25. I'm fucking cruising.

(30:41):
Let's go, right? The sun is shining.
You have your sunglasses on, right?
Who knows what like fantasize whatever car you want to be
driving. So you just hit the highway.
And then the second song is the flow state.
So kind of when you just like get into your rhythm, your
driving state, and you have kindof like moments.

(31:01):
Also 2 for this third song are going to be moments of
introspection, gratitude, like feelings, right?
I feel like whenever I'm on a road trip I'm just like, kind of
just fucking. I'm.
Going through my shit, you know,I'm thinking I'm typing in
feelings, right? And then there's the Arrival.
So the 4th song will be the Arrival song you hear when you
get yourself well done. Yeah.

(31:24):
Ready. Are you ready?
OK. The 13th floor elevators, you're
going to miss me. 1st 13 four elevator song first.

(31:56):
One. Yeah, that's a.
Great call. And where does that song live
with for you? Well, first of.
All I know you guys are high fidelity boys.
So I was like, this is the fucking the song that gets the
moving movie going, and you're just like, what?
Terms. Me, I don't know if I told you
this ever, Donnie, but I was in vintage for 10 years.
So I was in vintage clothing, art records, etcetera.

(32:19):
And that's what I did for a really long time.
And this like era of like 60s garage rock, which I think
traditionally known as frat rockbecause it was just these like
kids like at colleges and frats like playing on the guitar just
like two different chords. This was a huge moment in my

(32:39):
life when I was like heavy into to the industry and what I was
doing and my boss and essentially my partner. her and
I were just like ragtag team together.
We're just like we built this vintage empire I feel like in
Colorado. And this song reminds me of the
road trips that we would go on together because her husband

(33:01):
would just like load up our iPods, load up our iPods or like
make us ACD with just like shit we'd never have heard before.
Like 13th out floor elevators was one of them.
Joe Meek. I don't know if you guys have
ever heard of Joe Meek, but he'sincredible and like Brian Eno
and then just like witch the sonics, all of that stuff.

(33:23):
So it's just kind of taking me back to these Rd. days where I'm
going treasure hunting with my bestie Jones.
I love. It that's a great story.
That's a great visual for this. The song is also so like I don't
know if it's because they're from Texas or what, but it has
this kind of like expansive space vibe to it, which feels
very road trip, very like open Rd. vibe or expansive like.

(33:47):
Very. Much it's giving me like in
middle of middle of Arizona and like mountains in the distance
vibes. But it's like it's got like a
good beat. Like we're going, we're on.
We're like, you know, yeah, likeyou said, picture it however you
want. Listening to this song.
I'm in a convertible and like some classic.
Convertible. At all?
Absolutely. Especially for Don, you know?

(34:16):
There was a jug player in the band.
Oh yeah. No, that's the.
Jug people. Were playing the craziest shit
back then that like saws. Like saws.
Oh yeah. Big it.
Was. Just it's so fun.
Like one of my really favorite bands right now.
They're a contemporary band, butthey're called Shannon and the
Clams. So fun, but they are reminiscent

(34:38):
and like tongue in cheek to thisera and they just do such a good
job with bringing those kind of like vintage DIY instruments in.
I love it. Great.
Call is the. Jug Player, the dude who had the
top has the top hat on in all the photos.
I hope so. Let.
Me look it up I would assume. So.
I hope it's him. It just feels like he's the Jug
player, right? Like if you're if you're going

(34:59):
to be the Jug player, you got todo something to Yeah, you.
Got to jazz it up. You got to.
Jazz it up a bit, right? You got to wear a top hat, Yeah.
Absolutely. Or like play it like some sort
of like crazy out of control way.
Tommy Jaw is the. Name of the Jug player?
Yeah. Oh yeah.
Fantastic album cover to this too.
I love a psychedelic 60s it's. So good.

(35:20):
Like Disraeli Gears by Cream or like, like this?
Like this total like psychedelictrip put on to an album cover.
Fantastic. Yeah.
It's my it's one of my favorites.
And then like the I too. It's so good, so good.
Very cool all. Right.
I am Rd. tripping with some of my favorite friends.

(35:44):
Past, present, future fiction, Non fiction.
OK, every. Trip every song.
Yeah I am Rd. tripping with a different person.
So you went. Like almost like how to make a
mixed plate. I did theme but but with but
with car with road trip. OK, so who's your first trip
with my? First road trip is with Maquila

(36:05):
Beans. Michaela Baines is Megan Fox's
character from the 2007 blockbuster Transformers,
directed by Michael Bay. To listen to drive by the cars
you. Can't go home?

(36:28):
Nothing's wrong. Who's going to drive you home?
Oh my God. Motherfucker.
Good. OK, I'm happy.
We're all on the same level. I feel like I can exhale now.

(36:52):
I'll let you talk about this, then I'll then I'll be pissed.
No, I'm. Assuming it's a direct steel,
which I don't feel bad, no. No, I had my my first pick was
the cars and I was the only of my.
I had a theme too, and it's the only one I don't have a backup
for. So go talk while I figure out
what song I'm going to pick now.Now.
I'm curious. What part?

(37:13):
Song I'm going to do. Nothing else.
For whatever reason, there's a bunch of good movie in that
first Transformers. I don't know why.
I don't know how Michael Bay gotthe cars and the first
Transformers, but he did. And it like it's all fun, tongue
in cheek and music throughout the whole movie, you know, as
they're like scrolling through audio files.

(37:34):
It was an incredible movie in 2007.
Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox. You know first.
One I remember when that came out, I was like going to lose
like shit because it like that brings back so much from
childhood totally. And.
The original voice Optimus Prime.
Fantastic. But first, first sight of the
new Camaro. Yeah, everything it needed to
be. But me and Michaela Baines, AKA

(37:57):
Megan Fox are going to hop in the car after defeating species
of alien robots and we're just going to drive something
together. But if you're Linkin Park, just
on the movie ends. But I'm going to pick drive by
car, by the cars. Oh, really?
Solid Donnie. I mean it's.
Great, the cars are you thinkingabout?
My first one, like hitting the highway and just fucking go for

(38:19):
it, yeah. I mean, the cars are cars and
not they're called the cars. They just they're 20 of their
songs would have fit on this on this.
They're great road trip music. They're a great road trip band
and I'm I'm frustrated. That's the one I was most
confident about was my first pick.

(38:40):
Yeah, let me. Give you my let me give you my
theme 1st and I'll, I'll. So I kind of went a very similar
route to you, Bri, except yours is more feeling based, which I
very much appreciate. I went a little more like kind
of time of day, but it's also related to emotion.
So it's like if I'm leaving in the morning, I'm going to be
driving through the day, throughthe night to my destination with

(39:01):
people. For some reason, I couldn't
think about this and think aboutme by myself.
I think I drive by myself too much.
So it doesn't feel like a road trip, feels like work.
This is like there's people withme, there's friends with me.
And so in the morning, yeah, you're just taking off.
Like I need some. It's like hitting the road
music. It's like the opening credits to
the movie of the road trip, right?
So it's it's got to have that vibe to it.
I was going to pick the cars. Good times roll.

(39:26):
Yeah. Maybe on the nose, but I don't
care. Let's let it's time.
It's time to let the good times roll, crew.
But guess what? Don stole that.
That's all right. I took two of your songs last
week. So. 2. 2.
Damn, it's a good. Thing I have backups that's.
That's on you. It's it goes it goes up and
down. So there we go.
We'll go weeks without any sealsand then we'll have like

(39:48):
episodes with multiples. But anyway, all right, so having
to audible already, I think I'm going to go Tom Petty running
down the dream they're. Running down.

(40:17):
Oh, great call. F.
Feels like an opening credit Gethit the Road song, right?
Yeah, it's very on the nose too.Like it's a song about driving
or a allegory about, you know, your life related to a road trip
it. Was a beautiful day.
Sun beat. Down at the Radio One I was

(40:39):
driving. But it's a great it's a great
road trip song, too. And I just.
Love Tom Petty, one of the great, Great American
songwriters and we haven't had him on the pod except for a
Christmas song that's. Really it that's wait, he has a
Christmas song he was on. One of the Christmas episodes
for Christmas all over again. We have not had a had a Tom

(40:59):
Petty or a Tom Petty in the Heartbreaker song.
Are you sure on the pod it's I? Just.
Yeah, so. I feel like I've heard a lot of
like all my favorite one of yourguys's episodes is all about
that face so good, like the choices, like the waiting room,
like I was like shut up, yes. Yeah, You know, I grew up

(41:25):
listening to this kind of stuff with my dad, but then I got way
into Tom Petty and Tom Petty, Petty and the Heartbreakers in
my 30s, like my mid 30s. I don't know, it feels like a
Tom Petty age, I guess. Like, you've lived long enough
to get what he's singing about now, even though it's stuff's
really simple, but it's very universal.
Yeah. Like I, I don't know, like it.
It just kind of spoke to me. And so now I have a really

(41:45):
special place in my heart for Tom Petty, just a great
songwriter. But this song, I don't know,
like, just just road trip vibes.That guitar like sounds like
you're hitting the So I mean it's down to.
Travel with you guys. So yeah.
It's no good times roll, but we'll play a couple.
Songs in We'll see where it goes.
But Bree did. You know that this pod, it's OK

(42:07):
if you didn't because I think wetalked about this maybe on like
one of the first episodes ever. But the genesis, the early
genesis of this podcast is Don and I Rd. tripping basically.
And we would do this road trip game.
So we didn't have playlists. We would do a game with it where
we would put it on a SiriusXM station and you would each pick

(42:27):
like a certain number of songs and you know, you're basically
gambling to see if your song came on 1st.
So that's so. Cool, but he was.
Like a road trip thing. It was like, yeah.
Yeah. So this is this is, it's crazy.
It took almost 50 episodes for us to do a road trip theme, but
that's true. That's crazy.
Yeah, I'm. Excited to get keep going with
this coming with. You guys next one?

(42:48):
But that's so cool. I didn't know that.
Yeah, I didn't know. I guess I wanted to ask that
question as well, like how did it all start?
Like what was the? Inspo.
Road trip Rd. trips we've. Got Carlos Santana and Rob
Thomas to thank for the song which I.
Don't know if that song's a no go.
That song's never been on the pod done and we it might be off

(43:10):
limits. I.
Don't. Yeah.
Are you going to add it to the rules?
Maybe no Picking Smooth by Santana and Rob Thomas.
Is that a lot OK? Bring back.
Over to you. What's your next pick?
Remind us of the mood. Remind us where we're wearing
Yes. Yes.
OK, so this is when you hit the flow state, right?

(43:32):
So think about like an hour of driving.
You've kind of been listening tothe same thing.
And then this banger comes on. I was dancing in the lesbian
bar. Jonathan Richmond.
Well, I was dancing in the lesbian bar.
In the industrial song, I was dancing with my friends and
dancing alone while the first bar things were all right.

(43:56):
But in this bar things were Friday night.
In the first bar, things were just all right.
This bar things were Friday night and I was dancing in the
lesbian bar. Oh oh.
No. Relationship Rod do.
You have any I like? To think that like I know
Jonathan. Richmond I love.
Jonathan Richmond, he is fuckingincredible.

(44:19):
Talk about just like his lyrics are just like.
I never would have thought to have put like all of these words
together to describe a certain situation.
It was between that or Twilight in Boston.
Have you ever heard that song ofhis?
Oh my God. I think I only know Roadrunner.
Roadrunner. Yeah, that one's The Modern
Lovers. But this is like his solo stuff
and it's this album. Every single song is freaking

(44:43):
incredible. Like he has a song called
Abominable Snowman in the supermarket and it's so like,
what's his name? Wesley Willis.
It it's giving like Wesley Willis before Wesley Willis,
Rock'n'roll McDonald's. For those of you who are like,
who is she talking about? Rock'n'roll McDonald's?
But this song, it just like, it's so catchy, it's so fun,

(45:05):
it's exciting, it gets you in the flow state.
It like picks up the energy as well and it's just so.
God it. Gets you so fucking curious.
You're like, what made him writethis?
Like was this like an actual like is this for verbatim?
Like he's like dancing at like aboring sports bra.
And then a couple of like, you know, little queer chicks come

(45:28):
up and they're like, hey, come dance with us over here.
It's way cooler if you're dancing.
And so then he just goes and hasthis immersion into a subculture
that he's never even experiencedbefore.
But it's it's giving kind of like Tom Waits as far as like
lyrics go, where you're like, what, what's this story?
Like what's happening? It just hooks you.

(45:48):
It hooks you. He's.
Not something about Mary Guy, ishe?
He. I think he did do some music for
something about I think he is. The dude from you talking about
the like the singing narrator guy I'm.
Pretty. Sure it is.
Yeah, yes. Jonathan Richmond.
No shit. OK.
He's from Boston. I mean, you talk like heavy
Boston, dude, which I thought one of you guys were from

(46:08):
Boston. No, No rides.
East Coast, but not Boston. Yeah, those of you who haven't
listened, I highly recommend it.He's incredible.
You have a fun time. I didn't.
Know the song, I'm into it. It it it's exactly as you
described it. And he's just got a really cool
vibe. I love, you know, even more than
that, I love you describing this.

(46:30):
This aspect of the road trip is the flow state.
I've never had a term for it. And now now I can steal that use
flow state because that's what it is like it's that it's after
those first couple hours when you're just like in in the
groove, you're just like zeroed in on driving and stuff.
It is a flow state and the musicmatters so much to keep that
going. So I'm going to steal that term

(46:52):
and use it. OK, it's my turn.
Yeah. Yeah, it's your turn.
OK. It's 1994, I am in 8th grade and
I'm going on a road trip with myfriend William Kate.
William K What up? Shout out we.
Are driving to the Robert Crown Center and the Robert Crown
Center was the place where in 8th grade he went for sexual

(47:14):
education. And like, you know, they touch
you all about the birds and the bees.
They touch you all about, you know, like starting to use
protection 8th grade and you're getting ready to go into
freshman year high school, so you start to learn about this
stuff. And William Cade.
Was one of the coolest kids in junior high, right?
William Cade spent the majority of his time wearing one T-shirt,

(47:36):
and it was. A.
Black T-shirt with a giant portrait of Snoop Dogg on it.
That was fantastic. So next.
Song. Is going to be Gin and Juice by
Snoop Doggy Dogg. Laid.

(48:05):
Back me some sequence. Jeans.
Everybody got their cups, but they ain't chipped in it.
Let's. Go dog, let's go.
Me and William Cade are on our way to the Robert Crown Center
now. When we're at the Robert Crown
Center, William Cade, again one of the coolest kids in school,
decides to ask a question which nobody in 8th grade has any

(48:27):
business doing. In sexual education class and
8th grade William Cade stands upand says, why you got to wear
condoms? Why can't you just wrap a
plastic bag around your thing? And.
Lived in infamy for the rest of his life.
Oh. My God, William paid day
forward. Was the coolest kid anybody had

(48:49):
ever known he's. Got his mind on his money and
his money on his mind. So well played.
That is my next road trip. Me, me and William Cade are on
our way to the Robert Crown Center.
I'm in. There with you guys, let's go
and. Also, like when I got into like
high school and like got my license, I drove an 89

(49:10):
Mitsubishi Gallant and this car was twelve, $1250 and my sister
overcharged me for it. I don't know if I've talked
about this in the pod in the past.
You have not. Spilled the spilled the tea on
Doctor PCF please my. Sister sold me my first car, she
had driven it for forever, had ahorrible oil burning problem and
she sold it to me and way overcharged me for it and the
car was $1250. I still remember this but I had

(49:35):
$4800 for the stereo equipment in that car and as soon as that
first note of gin and juice hitswhere you hear the bottle being
poured and then there's that initial base hit would make your
fucking ears bleed in that car and it was so worth it.

(49:57):
That's amazing until. Like you know, 1994 gin and
juice came out so I would have started driving in probably 1996
or 7 and gin and juice was stilla doggy style, was still in
heavy rotation. I just.
Love this pic still. Here now, yeah.
I love this pic based on the thecool kid from 8th grade set up,

(50:19):
because this is such the cool kid from it.
It's for you. It's William Cade for the rest
of us, as whoever the cool kid in 8th grade was.
But if you're in a car with themlistening to Gin and Juice,
you're feeling like the coolest fucking person in school.
Like this song made you feel cool listening to it at that
age, like how I was. Yeah, I was 11 when this came
out, so I would have felt real fucking cool listening to this

(50:42):
because yeah, right, I'm. William Kate to the balls.
On that dishin. At the Robert Crown Center,
nobody asks questions. You just are embarrassed with
every other 8th grader like he's.
In the history books, isn't thatschool?
History book, yeah. Like, what do you, what do you
write in your yearbook? What do you write in your
yearbook? Remember.
Oh, I want to know that too. That's a great question, Bree.
And have the. Balls to bring my note, my

(51:04):
yearbook, to William Kate DabhamSimon.
He was on a different echelon ofcool at that point.
Come on. We got to go to your mother's
basement and dig that shit out there for.
Sure, there I for. Sure want to see a photo of him
too. Like I don't know what this
could look like. I'll see if I can find a I'll
see if I can find AG Kirkstrom Middle School yearbook and find
a picture of William Kate. Please do OK.

(51:26):
It's worth. It and then get me his chart
too, because let's look into this motherfucker Tom's on down.
But yeah, that's my next. That's my next road trip is me
and William Kate. I love it.
And Snoop Dogg. Snoop Doggy Dog Snoop.
Doggy dog Snoop Doggy. Dog yeah, my second pick.

(51:47):
So this is you're in the eveningnow and I think you're at that
point in the road trip and you know, you got your friends with
you. I think you're at that point
where you're like you've been onthe road for a little bit.
You got to get the energy back up.
So you need like the sing along stuff like I need I need shit
that we all know. I need some quasi kick car
karaoke kind of shit, like we all need to be belting something

(52:09):
out right. And and Don, I don't think
you're going to like this pic, but I'm going to go with Semi
Charmed Life by Third Eye Blind.Here for it makes sense yeah I.

(52:40):
Just want some Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo.
Yeah, and I. Want I want everybody to try to
sing the verses and fuck it up because nobody ever gets it
right because there's too many words to this song.
Way too many words and. Then hit those key notes or like

(53:02):
phrases bumped that. I was hitting, then I bumped
again. All about math was, you know the
Do you know the full story behind that?
It's not all about MET. It is.
About met. So, yeah, I think you'll you'll
appreciate this, Don. That was.
A rumor, apparently. So what the band said was that
they started to write the song, they wrote the music for the
song, and they were going to write lyrics.

(53:23):
That was like a response to Walkon the Wild Side by Lou Reed.
But. Then they were at a Steven
Jenkins was at a Primus concert and saw people doing meth in the
bathroom at the Primus concert and then wrote the song about
that. Who would have thought it was
about Primus? I don't feel.
Like the Primus crowd would be in the meth.
Maybe I'm. You know I cannot.

(53:45):
I can neither confirm nor deny the the truthfulness of Stephen
Jenkins I. Don't think the chode from Third
Eye Blind would be cool enough to go to a Primus, no?
I mean dude. I he's a he's an asshole, but
that doesn't mean he wasn't going to like concerts and
stuff. And I feel like a lot of
musicians, like really great ones, are kind of assholes.

(54:07):
So that's true. Jenkins told Rolling Stone the
concept of the song was developed through his
observations of friends using crystal meth at a Primus
concert. That's.
What it says so I mean it's. Giving like the factory in a way
like drugs at your show. Yeah, sorry, there's something
about four non blondes in here too with the song.

(54:29):
Yeah. Everybody's up in it.
What's the T on the four non blondes?
OK. So the story is this is
interesting too. The story is that before he was
big, when he was a struggling musician in San Francisco.
Jenkins recalls sitting in A room with these with Linda Perry
of Four Non Blondes before 4. Non Blondes is a band and he
played her the early version of Semi Charmed Life and she played

(54:51):
him the early version of What's Up Before.
Either game is big. I hope that's true.
I hope that's true. Perry is still crushing it way
more than he is now, which feelsappropriate.
I feel like Linda. Perry's a better person than
him. Such a.
Badass. That's true.
Such a badass. I didn't even.
Know that she was like still outthere doing the damn thing she
is a. Mega producer, yeah.

(55:11):
She produced. Oh yeah, yeah, she's in like
every VH1 documentary, like about bands ever.
Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's. And I I I.
Think 4 non blonde just performed again for the first
time in years. Did I?
Am I making that up? OK.
Yeah, I had a vague recollectionof that.
But anyway, I just want to sing semi charm.

(55:32):
I just want to sing some Third Eye Blind with a bunch of
homies. In the.
Afternoon in the car, like that's that's, that's as far as
my as my story goes on that one.It's just, it's just fun.
It just like. Makes you just it brings the
serotonin back into the road trip and you're like,
absolutely. Next song, let's go.
It might even like, you know, keep the jams going like

(55:52):
whoever's DJ. And that's how I pictured it.
It's like you're probably going to have a round Robin.
Like you're like somebody put this on so we can sing along and
then somebody else is going to want to put on their one of
their favorite sing alongs. But it's all going to be shit
that you know, it's all going tobe like nostalgia bait stuff,
which is great for a road trip. You want it to be stuff you
probably hear at karaoke, but but probably not journey, right?

(56:13):
Like the stuff that you and yourcrew want to sing too.
So. Oh yeah.
Yeah, that was OK. OK, you ready for this?
Really quickly, Bree, And then we'll give you your next pick.
Yeah. Pink.
Christina Aguilera, Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love.
Unwritten law. Kelly Osbourne.
Cheap Trick. Alicia Keys, Céline Dion.
That's some of the people that Linda Perry has produced.

(56:33):
Whoa, it's bananas. Yeah, she's Courtney Love.
Eh, yeah. Pretty huge.
And let's not forget Pitbull. Well, obviously nobody has ever
forgotten Pitbull ever done. You cannot forget that 3. 050.
My God, that's so good. All right.
Third. Track Where are we at now on our
road trip? OK, so in the road trip, this is

(56:57):
the contemplation moment. So like if we were using Rod
storyline, Rod would be alone, right?
Maybe it would be the evening later in the evening, but this
is the moment of where you have like contemplation.
You're kind of thinking about where you are right now in your
life, who you have right now, like what you're grateful for or

(57:18):
even like shit that's done you dirty.
Whatever the tower shit you havegoing on, this is when you would
be thinking. About it.
You know what though? This is inevitable on a road
trip. It's inevitable.
There's you get in your head, you're on the road, you get in
your head, you're in your thoughts.
So absolutely. And so I chose this song because
I am going to get like a little personal here.

(57:40):
When me and my husband were having a separation, we started
a playlist of just like songs that reminded each other of one
another. And when we were like in the
process of reuniting, they were talking about how we're going to
go. We we're going to go to Moab for
a bit and we're going to play our playlist and I, I, he's

(58:02):
like, don't look at it yet, Don't look at it yet.
Like just like add to it, just don't look at it.
And I was like, OK. And so we're driving and OK
every like little baby hipster girl forever as biggest dreams
is to have somebody dedicate a Bob Dylan song to them.
So this next song is lele de. Le le.

(58:35):
Stay. With your man a while.
It's. Like.
I'm going to cry just like running the lyrics through my
brain. It's just so it's just like I
was saying, it's like so romantic.

(58:56):
Every girl that I've ever met has always wanted a Bob Dylan
song dedicated to them. And this just being where we
were at within separation and kind of this like yearning and
longing for one another and eachother.
And, you know, almost like envisioning and fantasizing me,
like being there in the room with him.
And I same with him from like a romantic space, not necessarily

(59:19):
an intimate one, but that is intimate in a way.
Yeah. So it just makes me feel happy
and in love and grateful for forhim and for what we've gone
through. So beautiful.
Share Bree, that is. Very beautiful and it's an
incredibly appropriate song for that.

(59:40):
It's a gorgeous song, Sophie. Song.
Yeah. It's.
Insane not. Like not an easy to distinguish
Bob Dylan song. It doesn't sound the most Bob
Dylan. No.
Yeah. Not.
So. But but it's such a great song,
so beautifully written. Recall.

(01:00:01):
Yeah, so good, so good. It gets a little Bob Dylan in
there, but yes, like the the chorus is is is he's ascending a
little. Yeah.
Yeah, he he hits it sometimes, but the chorus is a little more
crooner than he normally gets. Like he's he's hitting his his
crooner vibes on this song for sure.
And it's fantastic. Yeah.

(01:00:22):
Is. That our first Bob Dylan song.
Oh great. Question.
It might be because I remember thinking Ashley was going to
pick one. I think she did.
No, she picked this fucking kid.What's?
His fucking she picked. She didn't pick wallflowers
either. Jacob Dylan?
Really. I don't.
Think so because I thought she would, but no, this is our first
Bob Dylan song. But you are right, she did pick.
She did pick Wallflowers. Wow, that's a.

(01:00:44):
Good one, too. Damn.
Yeah. And honestly, I'm not even like,
I feel like people that are intoBob Dylan are into Bob Dylan,
You know what I mean? Like they are like he has his
own fandom out there. And like this song, I think the
first time I ever heard it in like my 20s, I was like, oh, I

(01:01:05):
get it now. I get why people like Bob Dylan.
So why why he has this like following and reputation and
like the song like that. This was the song that slapped
for me to be like, OK, I'm a believer.
I get it. This.
Was also the album that came outright before he went electric
and then pissed all of his fans off because this was 69 and it

(01:01:27):
was still like old school Bob Dylan.
But that wasn't 69 or 70. It was Monterey Pop Fest, right?
Where he's played with the full electric band and pissed
everybody off and got booed and stuff, which is wild to think
about now. Like what the hell I know.
Because he went to like guitar. Yep, it's wild.
All right. Great choice.
Great. Choice.

(01:01:48):
I want to and thank you for thatstory.
That was beautiful, of course. I want to save my last one for
last but I think I'm going to because I'm all right now.
Is that last? Ones work usually pick them last
is worse. All right, so I mean the truest,
the best dad you'd ever want to go on a road trip with, Maybe
the best slash worst dad you'd ever want to go on a road trip

(01:02:11):
with Clark W Griswold and you want to listen?
Yes, we're going to Wally World,baby the.
Holiday Rd. by Lindsay Buckingham on that road trip.

(01:02:43):
Oh nice. He's going to do his best to
make sure the family has a good time and he's.
Going to do everything he can, absolutely.
We're stopping at every point ofinterest it's going to be.
A shit show? Yeah.
Oh absolutely. Like we might murder somebody

(01:03:05):
along the way, but that's fine. We'll hide the body together as
a family. But yeah, that's the, that's the
next person I want to go on a road trip with.
And I hate the Chevy Chase lore.I hate it.
I I wish it wasn't true. I know.
It's a bummer, man, I know. It's like, because he was such
like in the 80s, he was like, hewas up there with like Eddie

(01:03:27):
Murphy. You know, when I think of the
80s comedy, I think of Eddie Murphy Raw and all his stand up.
Yeah, it's a it's a big bummer because he did so many brilliant
bodies of work. You could.
Do them Mount Rushmore, which would be like Chevy Chase Dan
Aykroyd, John Candy Oh yes, Steve Martin is maybe the

(01:03:48):
mountain Rushmore 80s four you know and then you hear the lore
of Chevy Chase being an asshole and it just bums me out of my
court. I.
Know. Yeah, yeah.
It's sad but but I. Still want to go on a road trip
with them. I still want to hear Holiday Rd.
by Lindsay Buckingham. Yeah, but.
You're not going on a road trip with Chevy Chase, you're going
on a road trip. I'm going on a road trip with

(01:04:08):
Cliff Clark Griswold. Yes.
I just think about like, what hewould take young Donnie to go
do. Yeah, the most.
Fun. It'd be the same stuff that
current Donnie does on his own, which is what I love about it.
It would be the Circus Museum and it would be the place, the
big Transformers out from the Wisconsin Dells.

(01:04:31):
And it would be like, you're already doing those things.
You just want to do it as a as ayounger version of you with
Clark Griswold and all the hijink hijinks to ensue.
Yeah, You're kind of living the Clark Griswold life to an
extent. Don, I think you might be a
little bit. And I'm kind of a fan of that.
I'll. Take.
It. I'll take it.

(01:04:52):
Oh. Man your.
Third choice. Oh.
Man, already to me, huh? OK, so my third song, so it's
it's night time now. Everybody in my car is probably
asleep. So I'm I'm I'm staying awake.
So you need that song where likeyou need that song that's got a
good enough vibe to keep you alert, keep you going, but isn't
like, you know, you don't want to wake everybody up.

(01:05:12):
So I'm not going to put on anything like loud or heavy.
So it's got to it's got to be like no raining blood.
I'm not trying to terrify everybody or give them bad
dreams. And the there's there's an
artist that just had does that vibe really well to me.
And actually I listen to them just when I'm driving a night in
general. But that's why they made this
playlist for me. It's this Canadian like
producer, DJ called K Tronata. Do you guys.

(01:05:34):
Oh my God. OK.
Fantastic. So I'm going with, I'm going
with You're the One by K Tronata.
You ain't no good for me. I know it's true, But you don't
have to pay because I do it for the thrill or the rush.
I do it for 1:30 for your touch when I only when it is too much.

(01:06:01):
If you survive, maybe you're theone.
You're the one. This is.
Absolute like night time, just it's got this amazing dancy
groove, but it's I can't explainit.
It's just night time music. It's night time driving.
It's just interesting enough to keep me awake, but it's it's

(01:06:21):
chill enough that I'm not going to like disturb the people in my
car with me, but I'm going to behappy listening to it.
It's going to put me in just such a great mood.
I. Love.
Katrina is just the shit he. Was actually my most listened to
artist in 2024, no. Shit, that's amazing.
I. Love him.
He's so fucking good. Like I feel like he has like

(01:06:45):
brought like house back to its roots.
Like I think like 90s, you know,like the bucket heads and stuff
like that. So he is like pull from kind of
that like 90s, like real house, OK, None of this like Skrillex
shit. Like real house and what he's
done to like transform. It was like a mixture of 90s R&B

(01:07:05):
is just he's fucking genius. He's going to be up there, there
like we're, I mean, everything you touch is gold.
It's. Like old school house and then
it has this kind of like, and may I might be wrong about this,
but to me it's got like a Miami feel to it too, which is
interesting for like a Canadian.Like it's got this like like
nightlife. I mean, I know all house music,

(01:07:26):
that's what it is, but it's justgot this like something about
his music feels hot to me. It feels like hot weather
nightclub cool, just cool house music.
Yeah, like I almost went with italso.
Feels like it belongs on the hacker soundtrack.
I don't. Know it doesn't feel aggressive
enough to be on hackers, but fair enough.
I. Almost did Intimidated, which is
a song with with her. Oh.

(01:07:47):
Yeah, that. Oh my God, it's that.
That whole album is so good too.Fantastic.
And I I just. I just incredible, yeah. 99.9 is
the album of his that I've listened to the most, and that's
the one I have the most connection with, so that's kind
of why I went with You're the One.
Stuff's great and I'm so stoked that you know know him and then
listen to him so he's not small.I mean 8.1 million monthly

(01:08:09):
listeners. I thought I'm.
At Red Rocks, Spotify, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like.
You're you're pretty up there. Yeah.
You're. Big so but this is my night.
This is like my night time driving music, whether I'm with
people or not. But in in in my version of this
road trip, I'm kind of by myselfright now because everybody else
is probably asleep and so I needthis to keep me going.
It is man, are we at? Last.

(01:08:31):
Pics. Three, we are at your final
fourth choice and you are ridingat your destination is.
That right? That's number four, yes.
OK, you guys. OK, so I told myself I was going
to panic Choose. OK, bold.
Strategy you still get to give us.
Your honorable mentions you still get to tell us the other
choices that didn't make the cut, but this is the one that

(01:08:52):
ends up on the mixtape. This is.
So hard because I'm like this one, it'll just like complete
the entire vibration of it. But I kind of feel like when I'm
arriving, it's like the middle fingers in the air.
I fucking did it. So I'm going to choose.
Everyone's a winner by Hot Chocolate.
Everyone. 'S.

(01:09:13):
A winner, baby. That's true.
Everyone's a winner, baby. That's gonna lie.
That's. Gonna lie you.
Never lie to satisfy. Literally, I don't, I don't know

(01:09:43):
this song. What I don't?
Know this? Look it.
Up right now. Have you ever seen Detroit Rock
City? Yeah.
Yes, I have OK. So do you know the scene in
Detroit Rock City? So they're at like the male
strip club and God, what's the name of it?
The like, tall, skinny kid. God was the name Jay.
I do know. This sorry, I know this song.

(01:10:03):
I just didn't know the title. I like.
I absolutely know the song. OK, I got it.
I'm there. I'm with you.
We're arriving. We're at our destination.
Middle fingers up. Sorry, I just.
I just had to pull it up. I was not I.
Did not. I did not.
Know the name of the song? But it's just like so good.

(01:10:26):
Like that song is Batty behavior.
Like you fucking put sunglasses on.
Or if you're driving through thecity and it's like you're just
driving past like all these likecharacters, all these weirdos,
while this is like playing and you're just fucking driving.
You're almost at your destination.
You've made it. It's like, I just love this
song. It just makes me feel like a
fucking boss, bro. God, it's.

(01:10:48):
So good that you pulled it back to Detroit.
Rock City too. Yeah, I love that movie.
So good such. A good movie.
This is a great song. Yeah, solid.
What a what a riff, too. What a riff for like a soul.
Not that soul songs don't have riffs, but that's like a, it's
like a Zeppelin riff or something.
And like a soul song. It's fantastic.
Oh yeah. It's it's.

(01:11:09):
Such a cooler song than you sexything.
It is sexy, thing's great, but this is way cooler.
This is way. Cooler, yeah.
This is like badassery. Like I was saying, it's Batty
behavior if you're listening to this shit like you are working
it. I love that.
What a great way to wrap it. Up What a great band name too.
What a great. Band.

(01:11:29):
Name Hot chocolate. Just fantastic, yeah.
Band. Name and also.
Everyone number one. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, everyone.
Everyone's a winner. Yeah, Pretty, pretty good.
I know. So, Bree.
Is this specific to like you're arriving in like a city or is

(01:11:50):
this you're arriving wherever ordid you picture yourself
arriving in a city? I am.
I just remember so Oh my God, I didn't even tell the story.
So this is when I'm arriving in the city baby.
But this song makes me think of my mom.
So my mom is a product of the 70s like big big music girly.
I have a lot of my taste and love for vintage from like

(01:12:11):
everything that she has shared with me.
And like I remember she gave me like a purple rain on cassette
when I was a kid and I was like,what the fuck is this is
incredible. But this just makes me think of
her because whenever this song would come on, we were always
driving together. But she would just be like
literally just like fucking likeraging as she's driving.

(01:12:34):
Just like I'm just like almost like Oh my God, girl, put your
hands on the steering wheel. But like this was like our song
to jam out to. Like it was just such a vibe.
And it just really brings me back to this love that she
instilled in me for like, funk, soul, R&B.
Also too, like in the 90s, like hip hop, she was just, Oh yeah,

(01:12:59):
my mom is so cool. She's just a crazy, amazing
music icon. And for me, like her taste.
Good choice. Sweet to go.
Breeze mom. Yeah.
Good job, Breeze Mob. Yeah.
All right. My last pick.
Your last pick my. Last, I don't.
I can't. Maybe Rod, you can help me make
ends meet of this song. Oh, good call back.

(01:13:21):
I love a good call back. Well done.
But my. Last road trip I'd like.
Co copilot is none other than Roderick Dear.
Oh, I'm honored, and we've done it before. 1 of.
Y'all's road trips? What this?
The song that you're talking about, it's.
Not specifically from one of ourRd. trips.

(01:13:41):
OK should have been smoothed by Carlos and Taylor Rob Thomas,
but it's not for some reason. It is Possum Kingdom by the
Toadies. Dude, nobody.

(01:14:22):
I'd rather listen to Possum Kingdom with that.
We've probably sang together listening to 90s on 9, but like
we would talk about how good thebridge is.
We would talk about like how? I.
Don't understand most of what hesays.
We talk. About how it's a weird time
signature, like why are all their songs and weird time
signatures and. This would be like a topic of

(01:14:43):
conversation for a while that would take us down like 50 other
song roads as part of this road trip.
But it would be me and Rod listening to the Toadies.
Possum Kingdom is the song, and we would probably be in the PNW
listening to it together. Yeah.
Yeah, I love the toadies and I love Possum Kingdom, and there's

(01:15:04):
nobody I'd rather listen to Possum Kingdom with than you,
buddy, so. Why?
I don't know. Very sweet.
That's on hit. And I was like, that's the song
Rod and I are listening to. Boom.
Boom. It is 90s, so that fits, yeah.
Are you? You guys are pretty big, like
90s fans. Yeah.
Favorite era kids are. 90s, so like that's most of what we

(01:15:25):
listened to growing up. Yeah.
So it's not necessarily just 90splus, like the podcast that kind
of sparked our love for our pod is a pod called 60 songs that
explain the 90s, which the host of that was our was our Co was
our. Guest.
The base episode. So that's kind of how it all

(01:15:46):
kind of that's how we make ends meet.
Which doesn't have anything. To do with meat, Bree, I don't
know if you knew that, but it has nothing to do with actual
meat. Good to know.
Right. Good to know.
Yeah. But yeah.
So yeah, that's my I love that. Every time you say that now you
do a hand motion that the listeners can't see.
But ever since you taught me that in the last episode, you do

(01:16:08):
that every time. I love it.
So you make ends. Meet.
Yeah. This end of this podcast and
this theme of this podcast with how it started, these ends are
meeting we're making. Ends meet, yeah.
For this pick, yeah. I love it, dude.
Yeah. That's my last.
One, I kind of want to talk about the toadies for a minute,
OK? Talk about toadies.
I just there's such a weird coolband that such a weird band

(01:16:31):
doesn't like. People know Possum Kingdom and
maybe they know I Come from the Water because they kind of had a
couple big songs off that recordoff from the water.
Is a great fucking song. Great song heard.
Of this. Band am I?
No. Oh.
Man, you might recognize the song if you listen to Possum
Kingdom. Yeah, you.
Might recognize the song and also another weird one.
Because it's just toadies. It's not the toadies, it's it's

(01:16:51):
just. Toadies.
Yeah. And this album is Rubberneck,
which is a great album name. I don't even sure it means
something. I I've heard that.
Hey, we're talking about Rd. trips.
It's very appropriate, yeah. I'm pretty sure they're from
Austin, TX too. A lot of Texas bands on this
episode. Yeah, are butthole.
Surfers from Texas, too. They feel like Butthole.

(01:17:12):
Are they OK? Yeah, I'm.
Pretty these guys. Feel like Butthole Surfer
adjacent to me really. Not quite as.
Weird. Not quite as weird, not.
Quite not that weird, but a lot.Of weird time signature stuff.
It's like college alternative rock from like the early 90s.
So it's just this, I don't know.I they're like, they're like a

(01:17:33):
cooler, smarter, local H Wow. OK.
That sounds. Maybe that's a better way to
describe. Does that make sense to you?
Yeah, Yeah. OK.
I'm just like looking at their photos online, I'm like, they're
not like ringing a bell. But now I have something to go
tap into recognize. That symbol you'll recognize?
Possum Kingdom I. Will.
OK. Yeah, pretty sure.

(01:17:54):
Was that? Their biggest song, or was I
come from? Yeah, it's their biggest song,
right, 11? Million listens, and then
there's actually another song called Tyler, and then I Come
from the Waters number 30. Yeah.
Tyler, I forgot about Tyler. I don't remember.
Tyler, as much as I remember. I come from the water, I
remember. Tyler, I think the reason I go
to I come from the water in my mind is because I I just think
that was the first thing I heardfrom them.

(01:18:14):
X one O 3. The indie alternative rock
station. It's one O 3.
Yeah, I just X you're listening to the X?
I just remember hearing I come from the water.
And then I also remember Possum Kingdom feeling a little being
young. Possum Kingdom felt a little
risque, like the lyrics, right? Like I'm like, oh what?

(01:18:35):
What's he singing about here? Like going behind the shed with
this girl like guitar. Tone.
This guitar. Sounds so cool.
God, that's. I'm going to show you my dark
secret. I was just like, wasn't that
wasn't happening. Play this.
Song right now, just so I can, like, I just want to hear it.
Yeah. We'll pause.
You can listen. Yeah, Pause.
Three times. I've physically written the word

(01:18:56):
three times, and I've spelled itdifferent every time.
And all three times were rocks. Not a hard word.
To spell dude, come on, it's such a.
OK, yes, this. Yes, I know this, I know this.
I know this. What movie was this from that?

(01:19:17):
Was a great question. Now these movies.
No. This was in.
This was in a movie. I don't remember what it was.
Was it 13? It totally was.
What movie? Was this song in all good?
90s movies. Yeah.
It's not on the Wikipedia, whichdoesn't mean it wasn't in a
movie. It just means nobody just put it
on their Wikipedia my. God, this song.

(01:19:38):
Wait, is this the So help me Jesus.
Yep. Yep.
Yeah. OK, cool.
I remember. I know the song now.
The song Fox. It was in black sheep.
Maybe that's where I remember itfrom.
Great movie movie. Yeah.
Tommy Boy 2 but not RIP. Yeah, they're from Fort Worth,
not Austin. Sorry, Toady's.
Sorry. Dallas.

(01:19:59):
Fort Worth area still. Texas.
Still Texas. OK, Still Texas.
Yeah, this is going on. This is going on a playlist
because this song is a banger. I just didn't know who's singing
it. So.
This this band. Last thing I'll say is well, I
say this band. I really only know Rubberneck.
I think I might have listened tothe album after this, but I
don't know it. I just know this album.
But almost every song in this album is in some weird time

(01:20:19):
signature. Like that was their thing.
They were never seemed to just play in like a normal 4 four
thing is like they're just kind of have a good alternative rock
band from the 90s. But they always had this weird,
like they had to do something weird with all their songs.
But it did help them stand out. Like you can't help but remember
that guitar riff for this as soon as you heard it.
But you're like, Oh yeah, this song.
And it's like, Oh yeah, so. Help me Jesus super.

(01:20:41):
Recognizable so. Well.
That was. Very.
That was a very touching pick, Don, I appreciate.
I would love to go on another road trip with you.
It's been too long. We'll do.
That in a couple of days. Well, I don't know if that
qualifies as a road trip, but we'll make it a road trip.
We'll call it a road trip. That's a great question.
How long does a road trip have to be?

(01:21:02):
4 hours minimum. Yeah.
I would say that's minimum 4 hours.
I might even go longer, but yeah, so that's for.
Sure, 4 hours a. Month.
All right, my last pick is it's mine's not a rival.
I didn't do a rival. I did.
I have this thing where like thelast, it's not even a distance

(01:21:24):
thing. The last hour or two hours of a
road trip. So you're on a road trip.
It's a long trip, especially if it's a long one, like a 10 hour
trip or something like that, or a multi day trip.
Those last two hours don't last for two hours.
They last for four hours. Like, they are the longest.
Yeah, two hours. So I didn't.
Yeah, all of it. And like, you're just.
Why are we there yet? So the, the music's important.

(01:21:46):
I think you need something like happy.
You need something to try to putyou in a better mood.
But this song, it's a little on the nose, but I don't care.
It feels right for that. Like kind of last hour of the
road trip. But I'm going to go with Jackson
Browne running on empty. It's a good one.

(01:22:25):
Great. Call.
No, that's really well done. Which?
It just feels like you're pulling it's I guess I book into
this with the running songs now since you picked the cars and I
couldn't. So I book into it with running
down the dream and run on an empty.
But they're 2 great road trip songs and Jackson Browne is just
like just got that sweet, sweet 70s like rock voice.
Just such a like he could sing whatever to me.

(01:22:48):
And I love that dude's voice. Like just a cool guy.
You know, I don't know this, this song, just a lot of a lot
of this kind of 70s rocks feels like road trip music to me.
But I grew up on that. So I think that's why to your
point, Bree, like you were talking about your mom, like my
family never flew anywhere. We drove everywhere.
And it was always, always my dad's music, which was a lot of

(01:23:09):
Eagles, Jackson Browne, stuff like this.
So this in my mind is what road trip music is.
But I do think it's more than that.
I think it has that sound to it too.
I think these kind of bands sound like the feeling you get
when you're on like an open Rd. out somewhere.
Like they just have that sound. So those like, exactly like

(01:23:29):
those like Southwestern soundingrock bands, it just feels that
way to me. So this feels like you're,
you're, you're, you're arriving,you're, you're getting there,
but we're not quite there yet. You need Jackson Browne.
I need Jackson Browne to sing meand come on dude.
Take Me Home. Jackson, what's interesting
about him too, is I almost picked.

(01:23:51):
I didn't because I I know I picked them before and I
probably have talked about him even more, but I almost picked
take it. Picked Take it Easy by Eagles.
Not the eagles, Eagles, just Eagles.
Great road trip song too. But I don't know, I've talked
about eagles too much. But Jackson Browne Co wrote that
song with Glenn Frey of Eagles. Yeah.
So he's like the Co writer of take It easy, even that even

(01:24:13):
that's a Jackson Browne song. So I was like, well, shit, I
think that that made me think, well, what about running an
empty see I. Even thought about putting like,
I don't know, I was like Neil Young or Neil Diamond, like, I
don't know, I I went down that road, pun intended as well.
Just I was like, I could just make this all just kind of like
empty rock because even me like that feels.

(01:24:37):
That. Feels like a proper road trip,
but I'm a. 100% with you Bree. My first.
My first four songs were all like classic rock and then I had
to go back and be like, no, I don't want to do a classic rock
playlist. Like, yeah, that's a road trip
for me. But like, yeah, I'm with you
though. It they those that era like 70s,
early 80's, rock, late 60s, likethat stuff just feels like road

(01:24:59):
trip music. Feels like that's when America
was driving everywhere. You're just driving all over the
place. You're driving coast to coast,
right? Yeah, absolutely suck.
More than the drive home from a road trip?
Well. Sometimes I feel like you do get
home faster. Well, could that be the sequel?

(01:25:20):
The return. Trip driving back home.
Yeah, we can figure that out, I feel like.
That's a real thing I've I've always heard people talk about.
It's like the trip home always seems shorter than the trip
there. Yeah.
Like I'm always like, there's always like this like moment of
like being like a little bummed,you know?
I, I do think, you know, it's funny that you said the four
hour thing because I grew up, I grew up in Indianapolis and we

(01:25:43):
would go to Chicago for shows all the time when I was in high
school. And that's a four hour drive and
you need to Chicago 4 hours, four hours back.
So you're driving 4 hours to seea three hour show and then
driving 4 hours back that same night.
And yeah, like, I mean, some people would sleep and it did
feel like the trip home went faster, but man, it's both.
It did go faster, but it also sucked.
Don, you're like, I just want tobe home.

(01:26:03):
I just want to be home. I'm done.
But the music also was even moreimportant than because I you're
not trying to fall asleep behindthe wheel.
Like you need the music to get you through, but it was rough.
That's rough at in. Front of a friend that was a van
driver like merch guy for Fall Out Boy.
Like pretty early in Oh my. Gosh, the robot.
Will straight up tell you like the only thing to keep you awake

(01:26:29):
is trying not to fish your pants.
So if you are in a situation where it's like I'm about to
fall asleep, you drink as much as you can as fast as you can
until the pee starts to come andthen that will keep you awake
from falling asleep. But you just have to fight the
pee the whole time. Wow.
So you're torturing. Yourself.
Either way, there's no there's. No.

(01:26:52):
It's still scary to be in a van with a bunch of people and a
bunch of equipment, knowing thatsomebody is torturing themselves
just to stay awake and keep us all alive.
That's like. I'm a passenger Princess like
like I would like I can do like 4 hours I could do 4 hours of
driving but I can't do like a full 8 like I think I'll lose my

(01:27:14):
mind okay. Longest longest drive longest
continuous Dr. you've ever done or you go first four hours.
Okay, that's. With like no overnight stay or
no stop, no you. Can, well, you can stop for gas
and stuff, but like no overnightstay, no changing drivers.
Like you drove the entire time. You only stopped for peeing or
food or, you know, or gas? Yeah.

(01:27:36):
Yeah, longest. Continuous Dr. Done. 13 hours.
Chicago to moral It's 13 hours. OK, that's pretty good.
I did. I did 22 hours from Naples, FL
to Indianapolis. Holy shit.
Rod. Every shit.
I was. I was you were legally drunk.
From sleep I was. 18 I don't remember it, I don't.

(01:27:56):
Remember, I'm sure don't remember.
It Yeah, there was a good reasonfor doing that stupid thing, but
don't do a 22 hour drive, was it?
Was it a girl Rod? Don't worry, it was not a girl.
I was in Naples with my girlfriend's family, but I was,
my band had a, my band was aboutto record our record in Colorado
with Bill Stevenson, like Descendants, Black Flag, that

(01:28:20):
dude. Like, it was a big deal, but I
was on vacation and so I had to drive to get back home so we
could all pack up the van and drive all the way to Colorado.
So I got to Indy, no sleep. We packed up the van, which is
my van. We all got in and then we drove
to Colorado. I slept from Indianapolis to
like Kansas. Like I remember waking up
because I was exhausted because I just driven 22 hours.

(01:28:41):
I. Was like terrified that you were
going to tell me that you drove to Colorado.
I was like after that. I was like, no, I was like,
guys, I'm not, I'm not. Well, I usually did drive too.
I was the drive. I usually drove with that band,
but I was like, I'm not, I'm sleeping in the back.
Sorry guys, fucking. Deuces, that's wild.
Bree, do you want to share your honorable mentions with us?
Yeah, how many can I share I. Don't know 23465. 75.

(01:29:07):
OK, Yeah. Honorable mention number one is
Orville Peck. Drive me Crazy.
Totally from show Pony, you know.
It's wild is that's the second. You don't hear the intro, Bree.
Like Don and I do the intro by ourselves, but Bob Dylan came up
in the intro and Orville Peck came up in the intro.
Yeah, crazy. Yeah.
Just. Kismet stuff today I.

(01:29:28):
I love Laurel pack. That's some kind.
Of witch he brought. Countries back I feel like like
he totally did true. Like I'm thinking like 60s

junior, Johnny Cash, even Elvis plus.
You're going to get to see him in the new Street Fighter movie

(01:29:48):
when that comes out next year. The.

Absolutely, absolutely would. Road trip and listen to Joy
Division. So good.

(01:30:12):
OK. And then I'll give you.
Can I do three more? Yeah, fire.
And roll OK. The next one is kind of like
what Rod was talking about, likeyou just need somebody to get
you up and get you going and change the mood while
everybody's asleep and you're driving.
It's this metal band. It's called Fuzz, and the song
is What's in my head. It's Ty Seagull's metal band.

(01:30:36):
Awesome, yeah. There.
This album is fucking incredible.
What's in my head is it's insane.
And then the last. Sorry, I really like Ty's stuff,
so I didn't know he had a metal band.
This is you're introducing me to.
This is exciting because he's got, he's already got like metal
vibes and some of that solo stuff.
He's like psychedelic metal shit.

(01:30:58):
So he's. So good.
But like his his metal band is insane.
It's very You are going on a trip.
Do you want to hear a fun story about Ty Siegel?
Of course. OK.
So in Boulder there used to be this like little DIY spot that
was in like a garage storage unit.

(01:31:18):
It was called Astroland. And this was like, I was like
2022, I think when he came to play at this like little like
rinky dink auditorium essentially.
And in Denver and then afterwards where there was like

(01:31:39):
rumors that he was going to justcome up to Astroland and play a
couple songs with his band and nobody believed him.
But we still all, we still all went and he showed up at
Astroland and it's like you could probably fit 20 people in
there comfortably and there was like 50 people plus a band
playing. It got so hot that everybody

(01:32:00):
looked like they dumped, dumped like water on themselves to the
point where everybody just got naked.
It was. Insane I was.
Wild. Just like people were like
falling into like the chick withthe drums and just like like it
was just like, it was like this massive sea of just like fucking

(01:32:21):
naked. It was it was insanity.
That's a great. Story because it feels like it.
It feels like it's not actually,it feels like it's me.
One of the stories we're like, OK, that's sure that happened,
but that's not that interesting.And then all of a sudden you're
like, and then everyone got naked.
Oh, OK, That's what's going on, yeah.
A lot of us couldn't find pants or tops so we just like raw dogs
at home. Last one is the cranberries

(01:32:48):
linger. Yeah.
OK, I am going on a road trip with Maurice from Little
Monsters and we're listening to Road.
Oh my God, dude. Road to nowhere.
About talking heads, did you just say?
Little talking. Maurice from Little Monsters,
Yeah. But he but we'd have to drive at
night because you have to. Go at night or else he's going
to melt, yeah. So it's Road to Nowhere about

(01:33:10):
talking Howie. You're going with Howie, man?
Yeah. I'm Dell Maurice.
I'm not well with Maurice. But yeah.
We're on a road trip with the Nature Boy Ric Flair and we're
listening to Radar Love by Golden Eerie.
Oh hell yeah. Fantastic.
That's a good. One then I'm going on a road
trip with David Lee Roth and we're just listening to Panama
you're. Listening to his own music.

(01:33:31):
Yeah, for sure. I.
Feel like David. Lee Roth would be down for that,
though. Yeah, yeah, he'd be.
Into it. Those are my. 3 honorable
mentions. All right.
So those are great. I've got a handful here so these
aren't in in order, but this onewould have been an evening one
but Don Henley boys of summer ofsummer, so.

(01:33:53):
Good sun. Setting I see it.
Yep. The the final one, so last hour
the travelling Wilburys into theline they call.
Super Group. Super group it's.
Not ringing any bells for me it.Was a band of Roy Orbison, Tom
Petty, Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynn fromELO and George Harrison from The

(01:34:14):
Beatles it's. Like Chris, a highwayman of
like. No, that that was the
Highwayman. So it was those five guys in the
Traveling Wilburys. They did one album and Roy
Orbison passed away like a week after the album came out.
Really. But it's that's it.
End of the Line was the single. They did a video for it.
Love. Roy Orbison.

(01:34:34):
Great song. They do it.
They do it so cool too. So that one's cool because Tom
Petty sings every verse, but every chorus is sung by somebody
else. So like, Roy sings of a chorus,
George sings a chorus, Jeff Lynne sings a chorus is just a
great song. You should check them out if you
like Bob, if you'll like them, if you like the stuff you said,
some of the stuff you put on this playlist.

(01:34:55):
Another evening one was Blackwater by Doobie Brothers.
Or that could be. The sing along, Yeah.
The sing along Karaoke one, Yeah.
Kansas. Yeah, I love.
That I love Black Waters karaokeif.
You get the car to do the round.To do the round, that's what I'm
saying. If everybody knows the song and
y'all pick apart, do the. Round.
Yeah, right. Pretty big.
Kansas wayward son. I just want to hear everybody.

(01:35:16):
I want to get everybody to try to sing that.
Yeah. And then you.
Can head bang to the guitar soloBohemian Rhapsody style I'm.
Already like I'm there with you,I'm in it and then.
Lastly, I don't know where this would have fit, but hey,
Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms feels like a road trip song to
me. That's a good. 1.
Too. I just don't know where it would
have gone in there. So honorable mention.

(01:35:37):
Good call. You want to fire out the list
on? Let's read.
This bitch. Hold on.
I got no pants everywhere. OK, Thirteen floor elevator.

There's been a. Few people who have nailed it,
though There's been a few peoplethat have nailed it, so there
have been. Fewer that have nailed it, that
