Is that Putin, Robbie?
Or Is that.
No, no, it's a Putin Quebecois.
It's not a Putin Nouveau Brunswick.
Okay, so this is like a fake poutine.
Okay.
Controversial.
Yeah, I guess it's the same aswhen they call football soccer.
It's the same thing, isn't it?

(03:58):
They call it the same, butit's not.
What does Kevin Brown have tosay about this?
It depends where you're from.
I. I do like soccer and it'sthe sport.
This is what I will watch.
I used to be a big baseballguy growing up, you know, with dad.
And stuff, but married intothe Portuguese family.
Of course, that's.
That's a prerequisite now.

(04:19):
Yeah, it's soccer.
Oh, yeah.
Or.
Or is it soccer?
No, sorry, football.
Yeah, is it football or is it soccer?
It's definitely soccer.
Oh, it's soccer.
Okay.
Oh, yeah.
It's not football.
Well, who says.
Who plays?
Who says it's football?
No, no, sorry, they.
Sir, sorry.
They say it's football.
My mistake.
Okay.
They call it football, right?

(04:40):
Okay.
Yeah.
With a different type of ball.
The only ones you can do with.
Okay.
If you say they've got theball and they have your foot.
Okay, so now if you went tothe oblong football version, if you
were to change the name, would.

(05:01):
Would you.
Would you call it pass ball,throw ball?
Because it throws better thanit kicks.
Really?
I mean, it's not like you can.
Oh, yeah.
You try and run after what is ball.
You can't do anything with it.
It bounces.
It goes cockeyed when it lands.
Exactly.
It's.
It's like.
It's like a 12 year old.

(05:21):
12 year old pubescent boy.
You get no coordination whatsoever.
That's a.
That's a oblong ball.
It's a Weeble Wobble.
It just.
Weevil wobbles everywhere.
Weeble Wobble Ball.
Wait, that has way, way morecommercial appeal.
There we go, another nailingsomeone else's.
Name and sounding arrogantabout your sport.

(05:43):
There.
We have another name for a shirt.
The Weeble Wobble Ball.
The Weeble Wobble Ball.
So when we get our notes offof this, the transcript, I'm gonna
have to remember that one.
Yeah.
Oh, my word.
Yeah.
So.
So yesterday.
Oh, shit.

(06:03):
Okay, this is.
I know what you're gonna talkabout because Sylvie said, have you
talked to Todd yet?
I said, no, no, no.
I don't think anybody knowsabout this.
No.
Okay, yesterday, Monday.
So I.
We've been off.
This was our week off.
Right.
So this was Monday, was ourfirst day back.

(06:25):
So we leave Here, first thingwe see, I guess is a, I guess a cat
or something got run over or something.
So that was like, okay, wellthat's not good.
So I'm getting towards workwhere I turn left at the lights and
further up the street there'sa crosswalk.
So as soon as someone hits acrosswalk, everybody stops.

(06:48):
Hey, I got all kind kinds of time.
I can turn right.
Some guy blasts out of theparking lot just on this side of
the lights, guns it.
So now I have to wait.
And then he pulls out in frontof me, trying to go into the parkade
where I'm trying to go.
Good thing it wasn't slippery.
Yeah.
So I get behind him, he goesin and I guess before.

(07:11):
So the way it works now iswith all the security that we have
when you put your, your tagonto the, the thing to open up the
gate.
So you have an arm that comesup and then you have an actual roll
up gate that comes up, right.
And then you drive through.
So he went up to the, thething, put his tag in, the gate came

(07:35):
up, then the roller gate cameup and then he drove through.
So I tapped my thing, the gatecomes up, the roller gate comes down
and I'm like, what the hell'sgoing on?
So I try and creep up a littlebit more maybe I thought it was a
sensor thing, so I had to back up.
So I use my tag again.
It says, oh no, you can't useyour tag.
You're already inside.

(07:58):
So.
So I guess that's so peopledon't back or whatever.
Yeah, yeah.
Here's my card.
Here's my card.
You can come in.
Yeah, yeah.
So there's like, oh, forfrick's sake.
So I had to press the buttonto get a ticket for the, the thing
to open.
So.
Okay, well that's fine.
So I was like, well, this is agreat morning so far.
So I drive in, I was able to park.

(08:19):
Okay, that was fine.
We get to the elevator, it'sall good.
We get to the doors, I go inside.
Now during my time off, we hadbought bananas.
So you know, after a while,bananas, they start to, you know,
they go from green to yellowto the spotty and then they get darker
spotties.

(08:40):
And as it gets darker spotty,the skin gets, I want to say mushy,
but just it's not as firm.
It's not, it's not heldtogether as much as well.
Okay, so, so I get into myoffice, I put my stuff down, I grab
my bananas and my lunch.
Now this Isn't a euphemism.

(09:01):
Right?
You grabbed your bananas.
Grab my bananas now from whereI am, because there's two areas.
There's the area that I'm inand then there's the dispatch area,
and that's where the.
That's where the fridge is.
So I take my key and I've gotone of those retractable key things.
So it's like a fob on my.

(09:21):
On my side.
So I put the key in, I turnit, I open the door.
And then I noticed that one ofmy bananas has now peeled itself
and now has hit the.
Hit the ground.
So the raw part of the bananahit the ground.
So an.
Oh for crap.
So I grab it and then theother one started rolling out, so

(09:43):
I went to grab that.
And meanwhile, while this ishappening, I'm walking in the door.
The door closes behind me.
My key is still in the lock onthe other side of the door with the
rope hanging on this side ofthe door.
And the only way to open it isto have the other key on the other
side to open it with.
So then I had to.

(10:04):
I unbuckled myself, and thenfrom there I threw myself in the
fridge.
I says, oh, this is going tobe a great Monday.
So then I go around on theoutside of the area, and then I use
my.
I've got a badge that I canscan in to my area.
So I scanned in, went back tothe door where the key.

(10:25):
I left it in.
Then I had to open up thedoor, take it off, put it back on.
Yeah, it was.
It was quite the.
It was quite the morning.
You know, you have thosemornings, like, well, there's three
things.
It's like, well, what are thethree things?
So I think that was it at that point.
And after that, I think I justlocked myself in the office and did

(10:46):
my emails because it, youknow, when you're on holidays for
a week, they tend to pile up.
So, yeah, so that's my story.
And I might have a couplepictures I can probably send you
so you can kind of visualize what.
What had happened.
I've got a stringy banana peeland the keys are in the door with

(11:07):
the lock on the wrong side.
So I'll.
I'll.
That'd be a great cover forthe episode.
Y.
Great thumbnail for the episode.
Maybe that's what we need.
I'll send you those.
So what was it.
What was it you were sayingthat I was going to say, I don't.
Know if you're allowed to talkabout this.
On air.
This might be a private.
Or not private based on whereyou work.

(11:29):
So apparently somethinghappened today.
It's going to screw you over,I guess, until things are resolved.
Oh, they got hacked.
Are you allowed to talk aboutit or.
No, no one said I couldn't.
Okay.
It's in the news already.
Already.
Yeah, it's in the news.
I guess they.
I'm not sure.
They.
They hacked into the system somehow.

(11:50):
I guess it must have been aport open or something, so.
It's so easy to do.
Like anybody.
Like, they're so freaking talented.
Yeah.
Just affecting the door access and.
And the ventilation.
So, I mean, whatever wasonline at the time is on.
Yeah, but you can't change anything.
So I guess they're working on that.
So that's.

(12:11):
That's.
That's what's happening there.
So that's happened at workbefore, too, for me.
Because Monday morning, it's crazy.
We have a management meetingin the mornings on Monday morning.
So that came about.
We're all.
We're all on Zoom, right?
There's about 18 peoplewaiting and.
And the big boss is not thereand the second in command is not

(12:34):
there.
So.
So one of the other guys justcalled it.
I says, yeah, I think they're.
They're tending to this.
This.
This incident that happened.
So I guess we'll just cancelthe meeting for now.
So.
Jeez.
Yeah, so that was my.
That was my Monday.
Today wasn't so bad, but it feels.
Like it's been like.

(12:54):
Like we're recording onThursday or something.
Like it feels like it's beenlike four days this week so far.
Well, it's only Tuesday and wealready have our libations.
Yeah, I'm already halfwaythrough the first one.
This is going to be a rough episode.
Oh, geez.

(13:16):
So my.
My note taker thing kind offumbled the ball here, it looks like,
because what I've been doingis I've been taking the transcript
and.
And basically up.
But we talked about this before.
What do we need to follow up on?
What have we not talked about?
What do we need?
Because we would every.
Every time we record Todd, andsometimes we'd have like a two, three

(13:38):
week break between recordings.
We have no idea what we talkedabout last time.
Ongoing saga according to the.
The charts and.
And stuff.
People need to know what'sgoing on and they need.
When we offer a cliffhangerlike, I'm about to build my shed,
and then you don't follow upwith it.

(13:59):
You don't follow through.
Whatever happened to the Shed.
Yeah, there's called somethingcalled fan service.
And this you for fan serviceis to tell us where are you with
your shed?
Well, as you know, like Isaid, I had last week off, so it
was quite the busy week.

(14:21):
But every time I was going togo figure, well, maybe I should go
and pick up, you know, thelumber and maybe start the base of
it.
Sure.
And it's been overcast andit's, it's always been chances of
thunderstorms.
And it's like, okay, well Idon't want to start this because
it's not pressured like the,the, the base isn't going to be pressure

(14:42):
treated like the underneath.
Well, but not the actual floor.
So that's all I need is to getthat built.
And then it starts pulling, pouring.
So I was like, ah, I'll wait.
So now it's to the point whereI, I might wait till it's, you know,
cooler weather and maybe someless, you know, less chances of rain

(15:04):
because that's all they seemto be forecasting lately.
Although knowing now that itdidn't really rain a whole lot on
holidays, it was just kind ofa sprinkler here.
Sprinkler that like theweather itself was great.
So we took advantage and, youknow, sat outside.
We've got this squirrel.

(15:24):
My man got us a Winnipeg jetsbird feeder.
So we use it as a nutdispenser for the squirrels.
So there's one squirrel, he'svery vocal and you come out and he
sees it, he gets all excited,especially first thing in the morning
right where our window is.
As soon as we open up thewindow, he's on the fence looking

(15:46):
in and he's going, I'm here,I'm waiting for my nuts.
So then we come out, we givehim a handful of nuts and then the
same thing when we come home,he's chirping away and he's running
up and down the branchessaying, hi, I guess you want to say.
So I'll give him some, somemore nets and then Winston will go
outside and then it won'tbother him at all, which is weird

(16:08):
because he'll just lay, helikes to lay under the truck.
And then one of the days I wasoff, I was just kind of sitting there
and this brown squirrel comesup and fairly, fairly big.
He comes up beside me on theleft hand side where the barbecue
is and I see him there.
So, okay, so I went andgrabbed some nuts and I gave him

(16:29):
a nut.
And then you take off.
Then he'd come back, give himAnother and take off.
And then he made the mistakeof going around the other side of
the house where the othersquirrel is.
As soon as he saw him, he justchased him off.
But Winston just kind ofwatches the.
Watches the show.
How does he react to it?
Does he get like.
Oh, my God.
Does he get all, like, freakedout or what?

(16:49):
Well, he kind of gets the.
Like, his instinct kicks inwhere it's like, I should be doing
something chasing him.
Like, he.
He gets kind of like a.
Okay, semi pounce.
Or he kind of gets down low tothe ground, but he's more so watching.
He's not really, you know.
Sorry, I'm playing Come to my window.

(17:10):
Oh, okay.
I thought it was appropriate anyway.
Go on.
Yeah.
And then we have anothersquirrel that usually comes out to
the front yard.
And the front yard we've got.
Well, the door we have in thefront has glass all the way from
the top to the bottom.
So Winston will sit there andhe'll watch the squirrel as he comes
and grabs one nut at a time.
He'll grab it, take off acrossthe street, come back, grab another

(17:32):
one.
So that's kind of hisentertainment, too.
Simon would lose his.
He howls, he's crying.
He starts pouncing on thewindow to try to get through.
Oh, he loses his.
It's.
It's crazy.
It's not good.
Not good.
No.
Well, a little different.

(17:56):
So what else has been going on?
Let's see.
We need to get a reaction fromKevin Brown on this tribute song
or the.
This song.
But that'll be next week.
We got him and CoreyMorrissetter coming in next week
to chat.
Sweet.
That should be fun.
Yeah, that should be great.
Yeah, I've got.
I've got a lawnmower I'm goingto be selling.

(18:18):
Okay.
Oh, the electric one.
No, not the electric.
No, the.
The gas one.
But I want to get this sheddone first so I can get stuff out
of the garage.
Yeah, yeah, because my garageis getting smaller, and it's.
It's just a matter of justgrabbing stuff and putting into a
shed.
So mom was trying to get me tobuy a gas lawnmower.

(18:41):
Like, why?
Why?
Well, I don't know.
What do you have right now?
I have an electric one.
You plug it into the wall, andBob's your uncle.
Yeah.
I mean, they're.
They're.
You don't have to worry about gas.
Well, that's the thing.

(19:02):
I don't want to.
Like, we're going.
We're going into a gaslesssociety, you know?
Well, more so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I like my battery one.
That's.
That's good.
I used to have electric one.
I remember I used to have thatstupid long cord like when.

(19:22):
Yeah, we were in Riverview.
I. I'd mow the lawn and I'dhave to, you know, take the cord
and flip it back.
And then you had to cut thelawn a certain way so you didn't
run over the cord.
You had to keep moving all the time.
I have a question for you withyour Nissan.
Sorry, I don't know why I'mthinking about this right now, but
you're pulling up with the car.

(19:42):
We're talking about pullingthe cord.
Talk about gas mowers.
Right?
So I was talking to some guy.
I'm not going to say who it was.
We'll just say he was a car guy.
Okay.
On the selling side.
And apparently the ToyotaRAV4, no more gas.

(20:05):
Pure hybrids.
They're.
They're making them as hybrids only.
Oh.
So hybrid.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So basically the equivalent ofyour vehicle, but for Toyota and
I think the Honda's CRVs aregoing the same way.
Which is the other equivalent.
Well, mine's full gas.
The Rogue is full gas.

(20:28):
It's it.
Out of all the ones that aregas, it probably has a higher miles
per gallon or per liter,depending where you're from then
the others.
It.
It's kind of closer to thehybrids, but not, you know, not that
good.
But still.
Still pretty good.
Yeah.
Mine has an eco function on it.

(20:49):
This crazy thing which.
Which I realized when I'm onthe highway driving a lack to Bonnie
and I want to pass somebody.
Oh yeah.
Okay.
Let's slowly pass this car.

(21:12):
We'll take our time.
There's oncoming traffic.
It's only a two lane highway.
You don't have a switch.
Well, I gotta turn it off.
Oh, okay.
I got a big green button I canturn off.
Okay.
As opposed to the big red button.
But yeah, I had went jammingone day and my gas was.

(21:34):
I was like a quarter tank,maybe a little less.
I was like.
So I put it in eco mode andwhat it does is every time you stop
the car, it tells you what thebest trip was.
Right.
Okay.
So that one comes up everytime because I put it in eco mode.
No balls whatsoever.
You know, limping your wayhome pretty much.

(21:56):
But it didn't use as much gas.
Are you suggesting ecologistshave no testicles?
Todd.
What?
Ecologists have no testicles.
Well, you just said they gotno balls.
You said your eco has no Balls.
So.
Oh, my.
So are you making adisparaging comment about ecologists
or.
Or oncologists?
I don't know what the frick'san ecologist?

(22:19):
Just talking out of my ass.
Just like.
Just like normal.
So, like E stem.
What is that E.
What's this thing?
I. I've got all these thingshere, but unfortunately, I don't
have my.
What's this Here.
Okay, so.
Oh, my God.
Okay, so that sound clip.

(22:40):
Yep.
I don't know if you heard itthere or not, but I'm talking to
Peachy Peach about Kissy Kiss.
One of my favorite lyrics ofall time in a song.
Favorite, favorite, favorite.
It's the one I quote all the time.
Never heard you say it before.
Well, now you've heard it.
And this is.
I'm gonna play it again.
Take a look.

(23:01):
Well, you know what?
Fuck it.
I'm gonna play the song.
One of my favorite songs ofall time.
Who's it by?
I don't think anybody else hasprobably heard it.
Oh, see, nobody likes my music.
You know what?
Okay, wait, hang it.
You have a different taste.
Can we.
Can we address some fuckingcontroversy here again?
Do I need my rap music?
Okay, okay, your turn.

(23:21):
Where's my rap music?
Okay, so I've got.
This is extended 1 1/2 minutes.
I got 1 1/2 minutes.
The voicemaker plate.
Okay, so there's this chat,and I don't know if it's mixtapes

(23:42):
from hell or from.
And the podcast where.
I don't know.
I'm in so many fucking chat rooms.
Okay?
This is my rant.
I'm in too many fucking chatrooms that half the time I don't
know if I'm on.
We're on our channel orsomeone else's channel.
I have no fucking idea.
So anyway, they're talkingabout the greatness of saxomophones.
I don't like saxophone.

(24:03):
You don't like saxophone.
I don't don't like you.
Lewis in the news.
Yeah, but that's proper use of saxophone.
See, there's proper saxualsatisfaction in a song.
Unfortunately, most of thetime people are going for the quick
pop on the saxual satisfaction quick.

(24:26):
You know, like in.
I don't know, a Madonna songwith a saxophone in it.
Like, what's the point?
It doesn't service anything.
But generally, my complaintabout saxophone is that you'll have
a band to get together.
Careless Whisper.
Hell,.

(24:46):
I might have to insert somesound clips later.
But anyway,.
It's like an orchestra.
Okay, Anyway, generally.
See, this is My thing in the80s, right?
So in the 70s, you had allthese Leonard Skinner and all these

(25:10):
Southern fried rock bands, youknow, dual guitar, sometimes three
guitar players in a band, you know?
But then you get bands likeold ZZ Top, like, very guitar.
Like it's not just chunky,like stanky guitar, you know?
And that is the hook.
The guitar that.
There's a little hook in that.

(25:31):
In that.
In that guitar line.
That's the hook of the song.
That's the meat of the song.
And it's ballsy and it's sexyand it's stanky.
Right?
Not like Harris Wilfred.
Not like Carolus Whisperer.
That is so limp.
One is an erection, one is aflaccid penis.

(25:51):
That's the difference between.
It's catchy.
It's got a hook.
It is catchy.
It is a hook.
That's.
That's the hook for the song.
But the hook doesn't change.
It remains constant throughthe whole song.
So there's no variation.
Well, that's true.
I must put on.
Now, if.
If we.
If we hear Careless Whisperand compare it to Panama, which has
the better hook?

(26:11):
I don't think Panama hassaxophone phone.
No, no.
Although.
And which was that commentthat I sent to you?
I said, what was that great.
Was that great Van Halen songwith the sax solo?
You remember the one?
No, no, because there wasn't one.
The clarinet.
Yeah, through the clarinet.

(26:35):
But that is possibly one ofthe best solos of any kind on any
Van Halen album, because itwas Jan Van Halen playing.
And if there was no Jan VanHalen, there would be no Eddie Van
Halen or Alex Van Halen islandfor that matter.
So, you know, it was his.
Their dad.
Because of their dad, they hadthe chops.

(26:55):
Yeah.
What was the mom's name?
Oh, I can't remember now.
Trivia.
Trivia question.
What's Ellie, Eddie and Alex'smother's name?
All right, you know what talks about.
I'm sure Dwayne is yelling atthe radio right now.
Wow.

(27:16):
Or Josh.

Tonx pedal, and I couldn'treally get it to work properly.
So our spin.
Spin the wheel.
Little Clip that we have.
That's.
That's what I actually used.
I use a Tonx pedal for that.
But just a little blurb.

(28:02):
You got a lot of springs inyour area.
Every time you type, it soundslike you're in a.
You get like shock absorbersprings that are in the background.
Ringing.
Or is it.
That's that this thing typing.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
So apparently someone's gonna.
We can.
Okay, they're recording now.
Those that end the podcastwill rock.

Totally your cup of tea.
Obviously in your wheelhouse.

(31:03):
You definitely have differenttaste in music.
I don't even.
What.
What.
How many BP.
What was the beat like?
How many BPMs was that?
It wasn't very fast.
I. I couldn't even figure outwhat kind of a beat that was,.
Which was emulated by.
On a song by the Dandy War.

(31:24):
Or.
Wait, Dandy Warhols.
No, Dandy Warhol by SpoonSpoon emulated that beat on one of
their other songs.
Except they didn't.
The drummer wasn't there forwhatever reason.
I'm not sure why, but instead they.
Played the bucket or something.
No, they.
They.
They mouthed.
They mouth the mouth.

(31:44):
They mouthed both the drums.
Wow.
Wait, come.
I mean, I've heard of someone,like, humming, you know, a tune or
you know the lyrics, but nothumming the drums.
Okay, well, here we go.
Here's the.
Here's the other song.
Emulates the beat I'm makingup, by the way.
Oh, no, that's wrong.

(32:05):
What?
I don't want A live clip.
I want the actual album.
This is their voices emulatingthe drums.
Oh, here we go.
Hang on.
Okay,.

(33:00):
Can you hear the bass?
I think someone's going.
Instruments.
We don't need no stinking instruments.
We got a live mic.
That's all we got.
Can we use the live mic?
You know?
Yeah, that's like the.
That's like the guy fromPolice Academy.

(33:21):
He was.
Who was doing the.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Doing the whole thing.
Yeah.
Holy whole band.
Your cat's loud.
Oh, yeah.
Well, what's he.
What's he pissed off about?
Oh, because I'm.
Because, I mean, here he likesto sit in my lap and give you.

(33:43):
Sometimes he.
He lays on my.
On my stomach and falls asleep.
But he can do that later.
Oh, boy.
So you don't like either oneof those songs?
I'm.

(34:05):
Not something I'd have on myipod playlist.
Let's just put it that way.
No.
Yeah.
Or pay money to go see.
Wow.
Yeah.
Although there's not very manybands that I would pay to go see
now because it's just.
It's just astronomical.
The price tag.
Yeah.
Crazy.
It's like, oh, wow.

(34:26):
Rush would have been a goodone if I would have went to one.
But it's like you have to payfor accommodations.
You have to pay for theflights, then you have to pay for
the exhaust tickets.
Yeah.
And you're in a wholedifferent place.
It's in Toronto whereeverything is like four times the
price.
Because we're Toronto.
I don't understand the appealof Toronto.
Like, everything's so expensive.
Why?

(34:47):
Yeah, but what's the appeal?
Well, yeah, it's the biggest.
You know, it's the biggestcity in Canada.
I'm sure.
But I don't know, it's kind ofa turn off.
You're paying for.
You're paying for being in the.
In the heart of it all, I guess.
You know what Toronto is theequivalent of?
It's me wearing a suit.

(35:08):
Right?
You're wearing a suit.
Wearing a suit.
Hang on.
And then I take the suit off,you're like, oh, that's all.
That's equivalent of Toronto.
It's dressed up really nice.
But why?
I'm going to get a lot of hatemail now.
Or as they say in the U.S. theman from Toronto.

(35:30):
Toronto, Ontario.
L45QA.
Have you seen that?
Yeah.
Have you seen that movie?
Which one?
From Toronto.
No, I haven't.
Is it any good?
No, I watched it.
I don't Remember?
So it couldn't have been that.
Yeah.
Memorable.
Not memorable at all.
Yeah.

(35:51):
So neither one of those songsappealed to you?
Didn't like the fake drumsthat I got.
Good.
You know what, if I had topick between both of them, I would
say the second one.
Yeah, it is a little morecommercially appealing.
Trying to think.
Okay, well we're on this samebent here.
So let me know if you likethis one.

(36:13):
And this will be the last.
So these are all Skelly songs,I guess, songs that Skelly introduced
me to.
So I'm gonna play this one.
You may have heard this one.
So let me know if you likethis one.
Y5O Nice.
The original.

(36:48):
The stones.
Wow.
They don't have keyboards.
Fit today.
I used to have one too.

And he doesn't get bit aboutsleeping on the couch when I'm there.

(38:42):
You have not put your hand uponce, sir.
So I get a feeling you'reactually enjoying this one.
This one's a head bopper.
Yeah, it's out of all three ofthem I listened to so far, this is
the best one.
Yeah, it's actually got pulledinto the Flushed Away movie.
The animated movie about ratsthat live in the sewer.

(39:03):
They actually had a veryalternative soundtrack.
So this is a very alternative band.
So that was the.
That was Bohemian.
Bohemian like youe by theDandy Warhols.
The song before was Stay,Don't Go by Spoon King.
And the reason I'm saying thisis because Mighty K, also known as
Gibraltar, is going tocomplain that we didn't list the

(39:25):
song titles.
And then she.
What song was it?
And then the first song wasBone Machine by the Pixies.
So the reason that we startedwith this whole thing was the Pixies.
The first song was the Pixies.
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
It was their really lesscommercial outing, which is my favorite

(39:47):
album.
Oh, okay.
Surfer Rosa is the name of thealbum with a nude lady on the front
in a Mexican dress.
You know, the flamenco.
She wearing a dress or was she naked?
No, she's wearing the dressbottom and not the top.
Oh, okay.
It's like very risque cover.

(40:07):
Now everyone's gone to check the.
Chaz Charles is going to bewhacking off to this episode because
that's what he does.
They're all googling the albumcover now.
Yeah, Pixie surferosa.
Anyway, don't Google hemispheres.

(40:31):
Are you gonna grab it?
You're gonna show people.
I'm sure Chaz Charles hasnever heard that album.
No, you think?
No, probably not.
And he wasn't just in Torontowatching Rush in Toronto.
I'm so jealous he was there.
And Kevin from In Obscuria wasthere too.
Oh, my daughter got me a forChristmas one year.

(40:54):
It was.
Well, back when I guess albumswere kind of going out of style.
People were taking albums andthey were making clocks out of them.
Kind of similar what they'redoing with the CDs and DVDs.

When you split up.
Skelly sent me this song.
I'm like, what the fuck?
This isn't you.
This is nothing like you.

(43:21):
What the heck is going on?
So that was.
I'm a Robot.
Well, at the very beginning,it was like a car going from one
ear going, you know, throughthe other ear.
So I was like, that's pretty cool.
Yeah.
And then.
And then the techno stuff comeup and it's like, okay, well, this
would be good.
This would be a good song forthe bar, you know, with the lights

(43:42):
and the whole thing going.
Yeah, yeah.
But yeah, it's more of a rappish.
And that's.
Rap isn't really my.
My bad.
But it was.
I mean, it was like white rap.
So it was like.
But for, you know, for a song,for song sakes, it was.
It was decent song.

(44:03):
I like it.
I don't know why.
It was one of, I thinkSkelly's daughter and brought that
song into the house.
Or.
No, this is more.
This would be an 80s.
It feels 80s, but it's not.
It's a 80s.
Two thousand and tens.
Two thousand and tens or 22 thousands.
I don't know.
Let's look.
It actually gets to the year,doesn't it?
Let's see.
Oh, no.

(44:25):
What type of album cover?
Does this have anything worse?
It's just the name now.
Oh, okay.
No, but that's the thing.
Skelly would.
Would bring interesting thingsto the table.
Black Jeddah.
Yeah, maybe.
No, it just says I'm a robot.
I am a robot.

(44:47):
Okay.
Like a movie.
I am robot.
Yeah, pretty much.
Yeah.
But this is the knockoff.
I am a robot.
Yes.
Yeah.
Like Sony and Sanyo and SanYono and Panasonic and, you know,
all the knock Bait men.
Bait Man.
Instead of Batman.

(45:08):
Bateman, You, Mary.
They always have those actionfigures, those.
Those knockoffs.
Instead of Batman it was B A TE Man.
Or instead of Batman it wasSpidey man or something.
Or they'd always have like bad knockoffs.
Yeah.
Like borderline, like legal, I guess.
And those are the ones wherethey had the plastic.

(45:29):
It Was toxic plastic.
Plus it had, like, the armsand stuff.
They would have that big seamdown the middle, like where they
would fuse the plastic together.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
And it was really sharp.
So then you'd end up cutting yourself.
You know the ones that sellthe doll of all the.
Yeah, those ones.
Yeah, those ones.
Remember, dad used to chew thehands off them and the fingers.
By the time he was done, thefingers were like this long.

(45:54):
Spaghetti.
What are you doing?
Like you didn't have his ice.
He didn't have his ice.
That's why.
Because when he has his ice,he was a cruncher.
Yeah, he broke.
I don't know how many teeth hebroke just by.
Because he had softer teeth,too, on top of that.
But yeah, he liked to crunchhis ice, but then he liked to gnawing
the fingers of.
Or what do they call it?

(46:16):
Which basically translate as men.
Men.
Men.
The English.
In French.
Yeah, Men.
Or in English would be.
Or men.
Oh, man.
In English.
Because French and English is back.
Well, that's.
That's a woman.
In Portuguese.
Is all men.

(46:37):
Really?
Yeah.
Well, isn't that weird?
Or man.
Woo.
Woo.
Man wool.
Holy.
We're totally off, off track here.
Okay, what do we want to do?
Oh, wait.
Is there a topic recently thatyou added that you really want to
talk about, or do we want tojust go and spin the wheel of spite?

(46:58):
Let's spin the wheel so itcomes up.
Get up on Adrian and so youcan write and on all your topics.
Aren't you all wheel.

(47:24):
Oh, yes.
The best wheel spin song inthe business.
Not.
It was good.
Todd.
Todd.
Stuff's awesome.
Especially that dive bomb.
This what gets me every time.
Oh.
Oh, that beat.
Which one?
The last one.
The beat.
The middle one.
The down or the up?
The wheel or the grunt?

(47:44):
Is it the elephant or the.
The horsey?
The man horses at the end.
The manatee.
I don't know.
Oh, God.
I remember the first.
When I.
You were playing at LJR school.
I think the curtain was drawn.
The curtain had been pulled back.
And I'm sitting in the frontrow because I can sit in the front
row.
It's excited.
You know, I'm sitting in thefront row.

(48:06):
Well, you're.
You're with.
With Brian and.
And Richard and everybody atthe time.
No.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But I remember you're behindstage and you're doing all these,
like, sound effects and.
And I remember you doing,like, the.
You're doing all.
A whole bunch of different animals.

(48:26):
I think you did an elephant.
You did the Horse.
And everyone's like, what thehell is.
That the race car?
Or actually in France.
Noise level.
I got the Willy Waller 2000.

(48:48):
All right, let's spin this wheel.
So I gotta see if I can findthe last time I hit the F9 button.
The last time I hit the F9button on the wheelo spite, it turned
off my touchpad on my computer.
Oh, yeah.
So I gotta make sure I do itvery carefully here.
There's a glitch.

(49:10):
So the F9 key is northwest ofthe 9 button.
You can probably hear the background.
Do you say the F9 key is northwest?
Northwest, yeah.
Be northeast, wouldn't it?
That's actually northwest ofmy number nine button.
My number nine.

(49:31):
Above my number nine is F8.
And to the right, see?
Yeah, mine.
Mine is staggered to the left.
I got one of these wirelesslogitech keyboards.
Yeah, see, that's better thanwhat I got.
Mine's cry.
I got it.
I should actually plug a. Imuch prefer.
That's good.
Very thin.
And it's got the little pad here.

(49:53):
Very thin too.
Especially if you're gaming.
Having on your lap.
Like, I've got a gaming1.corsair1.
It's.
It's made out of metal.
It's like a tank.
What.
What the hell did I buy that for?
And it has this huge cord thatcomes on it.
And it's.
It's one of those.
Oh, let's put a heavy dutycord on it, make it really thick.
And then they've got thismaterial over it, like old.

(50:16):
Old wiring where they have theknob and tube.
It's got that material, likeit had that all over it.
And it's all frayed just bymoving it around.
I should have just kept thisto use in the.
On my gaming computer in theliving room.
Okay.
I found it.
I found one.
So I. I spun the wheel.
Okay.

(50:36):
Spun the wheel.
Oh, okay.
I didn't hear it, but okay.
Well, no, there's no sound.
Oh, okay.
I'm working on it.
I'm working on it.
I gotta come up with a. I need.
I need a sound.
A sound effect for that.
But that's probably as closeas it gets.
Yeah.
Grab the one off of A Price isRight when they're spinning the wheel.

(50:58):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure there's asound bite out there for that.
Okay, so this is topic 20 onthe board.
Oh, and the category is Rant.
Okay.
Which means Todd entered thisinto our to do.
Oh, my God, Am I gonnaremember this one?
Okay.
I don't know.

(51:19):
I better open up to do.
Because there might be abetter spelling.
Oh, it's one of those.
You get mad and then you'rejust typing so fast that you can
understand.
What the hell is saying.
So here, here's what it says.
Stats Canada asking for asurvey voluntarily, but keep calling

(51:41):
to.
They call.
Sorry, they call my work,which is unprofessional.
Call other residents in thesame house.
Now it's just harassment.
Yeah, well, okay, so you getStats Canada, okay?
Sometimes they send out asurvey and it's mandatory, right?

(52:03):
So they send this in the mailbecause everybody in Canada or wherever,
they all have to fill out the census.
You have no, you have no option.
You have to do this because I,you know, against the law, apparently.
Yeah.
So they sent this other onewhich was.
And it says right on there,it's voluntary.

(52:23):
Wait, does it really?
Yeah, well, this particularone was a voluntary one.
So it wasn't myself, actually done.
I had gotten it and.
So the hell are you drinking?
Sorry, I can't hear it.
That's good.
Sorry.

(52:44):
Yeah.
So it's like being waterboarded.
Yeah.
So.
So, so basically it comes inthe mail, okay.
So you open it up and it saysit's totally voluntary.
Okay.
So she threw it out.
So then she gets anotherletter in the mail while back later,
I don't know, a couple weeksmaybe or so, and then she sees it,

(53:08):
it says voluntary.
So she throws out again.
So then about a week or solater, they.
She gets a phone call sayingthat they want to do this survey,
and then she says no, it says it's.
It's.
Says it's voluntary, I'm notgoing to be doing.
Well, you need to do it.
And you know, they'rebasically pushing for her to do it,

(53:28):
and she says, no, I don't havetime right now.
Anyway, so that was it.
So then they called back againlater on and asked her to do it again.
She says, listen, it says, itsays it's voluntary.
I don't have to do the survey.
Stop harassing me.
So then a couple weeks later, I.
Get a call asking, so whichphone number were they calling?

(53:51):
Sorry.
Now, is it me?
Did they call me or, you know,this was a while back.
They either call me or I got aletter or something rather, saying
that they wanted her to fillin this thing.
And that's when I, that's whenI wrote it down.
I was pissed off is, what thehell's this got to do with being
voluntary?
You know, like, do not.

(54:13):
You know, when someone callsyou One of those solicitors you say,
put me on the do not call backlist because I don't want to hear
from you again.
You know damn well I'm notgoing to give you dick.
All.
So all you're doing is you'rewasting your time and you're wasting
my time.
So to send these surveys inthe mail.
Right.
What's that?
So they called you at work, though.
Was it work?

(54:33):
Yeah, they called my work,which is unprofessional.
What?
Yes, they called my work number.
How did hell did they get my.
What, did they go into herfile and go, oh, who lives with her?
Oh, okay, let's see.
He lives with her.
Oh, what phone numbers do wehave for him?
Oh, let's call him at workduring the day.
I don't think.
I think that's more than unprofessional.

(54:55):
That, that is.
That's harassment, too,because they're pulling you.
They're pulling you away fromyour work.
Well, it's just.
Which you get in trouble forslacking off.
Unethical, regardless.
Yeah.
How'd you get number.
Like, if we had a thirdperson, like, say, when Tegan was
here, if they would havegotten a hold of her to try and do

(55:18):
the same thing.
It's like, what are you doing?
What does.
Voluntarily.
What does.
You know, what does that meanto you?
Because I think I had.
Because I had heard what wasgoing on and I. I told him.
I says, this is harassment.
I says, why are you calling me?
First of all, the survey's gotnothing to do with me.
Plus, it says it's voluntary.

(55:39):
Told you not to call back.
Didn't mean that you couldcall me.
It should have been justdropped and says, you know what?
Move on.
And that's my rant.
I have.
I have a lot, not a lot ofissues, not with what you're saying.
I actually.
I wholeheartedly agree.

(56:02):
Now, I. I do have devil's advocate.
Devil's advocate?
Is that what it's called?
Okay.
Where you have the.
The.
The other.
See the other side.
Yeah.
Sorry, I'm tired and I'm drinking.
Neither of them are good on aTuesday night.
But a friend of mine, verygood friend of mine, he worked for

(56:22):
a company that called peopleto get information exactly like we're
talking about here.
And he worked.
It was.
So they get contracts for thegovernment to randomly call people,
usually related to politicalthings, not necessarily for politicians,
but it might be for anupcoming change that's going to happen

(56:46):
to the city.
Are you in favor of.
Are you against can we ask afew questions, like that sort of
thing.
So he worked for a company andhe would hire the people to do the
phone calling and reach outand get as many calls.
And they would have protocol.
You have to call so many people.
We need so many responses.

(57:07):
It needs to be enough.
You need to get enough answersto support it, Right?
So he would tell me his side,what it was like being on that side
of the call center and calling people.
And it's one of those thingsthat, look, the government hired
your company to solicit all ofus to get the information, okay?

(57:33):
And it's a job.
And it's one of those thingslike if you don't follow through
on this, right?
If you get you or me going thehell off, this is my private number.
Don't call me again.
They still have to meet their quote.
They have a quota to meetbecause this is paid for by the government.
And it's information that weas taxpayers, we as citizens of Canada,

(57:59):
we are asking the governmentfor stats on this particular issue
and they need to report thosestats of do we.
Are we in favor of thembuilding the bridge on Abinoji Makana
or whatever?
Like, were we in favor of thator are we against that?

(58:20):
Like, they need to get thisinformation because sometimes these
things require a public vote, right?
So.
So he's.
So he's on the side.
I gotta get these answers, butnobody wants to talk to these people,
right?
So.
So I.
He would tell me thefrustrations, like, look, this is
something we have to do.
It's not.
You're not obligated to answerthe questions.

(58:41):
But if we don't get enoughanswers to the survey, and you guys
really want this bridge built,we can't build that bridge.
So where does information andharassment line meet so well?
Okay, so that's that side.
The other side of it is ifsomeone has my phone number and is
calling me a.

(59:02):
How'd you get my number?
You like, I keep getting callsfrom Telus.
I haven't been with Telus.
I've never been with Telus.
Never been with Telus.
But I get calls from Telus.
How do they have my number?
And it is Telus.
It's not fake, it's not phony.
Right?
Telus.

(59:22):
It shows up as Telus.
Like, it's not the scam call,but I get these calls all the time,
selling me to, trying to getme to switch over.
How do you get my number?
Good question.
Call center.
I don't know, because, I mean,Danica used To work for a call center.
And that was her job.
Did she really?
Okay, yeah.
And she, you know, at nightshe'd, she'd work.

(59:44):
I can't remember for what,what company.
But yeah, they, they'd coldcall people and, and she would get
that all the time.
Like the hang up on her oryell at her or whatever.
I mean it's like, it's likesomeone showing up at your door nowadays.
Who the hell's gonna answerthe door?
Like door to door salesman.
No one answers the door.
I, it's just by the neighborhood.

(01:00:06):
Like you don't want to openthe door anyway.
No, this is the nature of societies.
You don't answer your doorunless you know who's at the door
nowadays because of, I meanthere's home invasions going on.
You get these, these porchpirates stealing your shit.
Like there's.
It's not safe.
It's not, it's less safenowadays because people are more

(01:00:27):
desperate to pull shit andpeople are more elaborate in the
ruses to get into your house.
So are you going to answeryour door?
You know, they've got theirID, which anybody can create ID,
ID, doesn't mean anything.
Yep.
You know, but some places,.
Well, they'll have the personthat comes by for the, the water

(01:00:50):
reading.
Yeah, hey, I send it in allthe time.
It's accurate.
If you don't like it, then youknow what, make an appointment and
then yeah, sure that this dropin shit, it could be anybody.
Oh, guess what?
They're doing this areabetween this, this, this date and
this date.
So we're going to canvas thatarea as pretending but hang on with

(01:01:12):
a water meter.
So you, you raised an issuethere is that if they're going to
come by, if they're going tomake an appointment to come by, they're
going to call you to make that appointment.
Are you going to take that call?
Fuck no.
Probably not.
I don't recognize the number.
But if it shows up in yourbill and the bill says, you know,
such and such a person,whatever, call.
Them and schedule anappointment to have it looked at,

(01:01:34):
I guess.
And then have.
Yeah, so you're calling themnow with all the spoofs and all the
AI and the voices.
I mean just if someone wentonline and just took your voice and
my voice make a whole thing.
They make a ton of money withour voices, let's be honest.
Called mom and said, oh, youknow, I'm in jail or whatever, I

(01:01:55):
need money right away.
But we've already, we'vealready kind of half Spoke that saying
that if that ever happens, thefamily needs a password.
So that's.
That's.
That's the only out.
So if anybody out there getsthat frantic because I think I had
it one time, or Donna had itone time saying, oh, such and such

(01:02:21):
is, you know, in trouble.
Or the car broke down andthey've got a thing there and they
don't have the card.
So can you wire me some moneyright away?
It's always now, now, now, now.
Yeah, yeah.
Always talk to the person thatis supposed to be in your family
that that's doing this and askthem for the password.
If they don't know thepassword, then obviously it's bogus.

(01:02:43):
Yeah, Yeah.
I hate that scam.
That's the worst.
Yeah, that's my public announcement.
On the.
On that same vibe.
We're gonna play anotherSkelly song.
You ready?
Yep.
Okay.
Related to exactly what you're saying.
So this will be against theother one, the last one.

(01:03:06):
Oh, shit, I fucked it up.
My apologies.
This from the Pump up theVolume soundtrack.
Really?
Hello, dad, I'm in jail hello,dad, I'm in jail hi, dad, I'm calling
you from jail hi, dad, happybirthday I'm in jail Jail, jail Good

(01:03:34):
use of socks.
Do you know.
You know what band that is?
Was not.
Was.
Was Not.
Was is the name of the band.
Yeah.
No, never.
Never heard of them.
Oh, yes, you have.

(01:03:54):
Was not.
Was.
Okay, you ready?
Okay, here's a big hit.
O.

(01:04:15):
Is this brick House?
Sure sounds like it.
House.
I'm gonna guarantee there's noguitar solo in the song, but I was
just probably a sax solo.

(01:04:36):
Oh, yeah, Horns.
It's got a horn section for sure.
You know, I don't know whatthe need is to have a guitar to song.
I think it'd be much better ifeverything was replaced with a sax.
The sax is an unsexy sex.
That's kind of like a cool inthe gang type of groove to it.
Well, cool in the gang.
See, that was proper use of horn.
Yeah.

(01:04:56):
See, that's probably James Brown.
Today I saw someone on YouTubecreate a song.
They had a pen that clicks, right?
So they did the click, click,click thing.
And then he had a scrape orsomething and scraped something by
the speaker where the computer was.

(01:05:17):
And then that was kind of thebeat of the song.
And then they looped it.
Oh, nice guitar.
And they.
So you can make music with anything.
You can't.
Pretty much.
Yeah.
Yep.
Okay.
Be creative.
Because.
Because you said that.
Proper use of.

(01:05:37):
So there is the Impracticaluse of sax.
And there's the practical useof sax.
And when sax is usedcorrectly, sax can be sexy.
Whoa, that rhymed.
Okay, this is proper use of sax.
You read.

(01:05:58):
James brown.
I don't care.
Oh, yeah.
Jump back.

(01:06:22):
The James saying.
I don't care.
We're getting paid.
Keep singing.
I just won't.
Oh, my God.
He's such a good singer.
He's such a good singer.
Okay, so.
Okay, so the sax in this song,this isn't.
What's that?
Who's that?
Sax player G. Kenny G. KennyG. This is not Kenny G. No, no.

(01:06:46):
This is ballsy.
This is sexy socks.
This is swinging sacks.
Because they're not juststanding there.
They're moving.
No, no.
And it's percussive.
Like it.
It's.
There's something going on.
It's not just.
Blowing in it there.

(01:07:09):
Yeah, they're blowing hard in it.
They're just blowing on it.
You don't always want to justblow on it.
Sometimes they're blowing hard.
Oh, my God.
And abruptly stopping andblowing again.
And just.
Just like a.
It's like a car horn.
We were talking aboutsaxophones, right?
Yeah, saxophones.

(01:07:29):
See, that sucks to me.
That's a horn section.
Three horns usually is pretty good.
We.
When we had on Apollo Sons.
Remember the.
The.
The horns in that?
Yeah, like, that was great.
See, that's proper use of horn.
I feel often in pop music,we'll just throw.

(01:07:52):
We'll have a bunch ofkeyboards and program drums, and
then we'll just throw some saxin there just to overlay.
Because we don't really need a guitar.
We just need, you know, like.
I don't know.
Well, Pink Floyd did, and theystill had a guitar.
Yeah.
But dude, when they play.
When they.
The sax in.
That is not the sax in Tiffany.
No.

(01:08:12):
You know.
No, it's.
It's a whole different.
It's like you talk different genres.
Different genres for sax,different genres for guitar, different
genres for bass.
You know, you get the poppingbass, a slap base, or, you know,
jazz bass.
Just regular, you know,walking bass.
It's all different styles,same instrument.
You can have multipledifferent styles.

(01:08:34):
I don't know if I've everheard sax in a country song, because
I.
Don't think this doesn't.
Yeah, that would.
That would blow up, wouldn't it?
No.
Steel guitar.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the video he ran, he runsover his dog and the socks.
So.
So I have a question.
Like, I don't know how muchJames Brown, you know, but I have

(01:08:54):
I have a whole bunch of JamesBrown in my collection.
I've listened to a lot ofJames Brown.
Were you familiar with thatsong we were playing?
I think I may have heard it.
Okay, so I'm gonna play for asecond more.
I want you to focus on thedrums and the bass, okay?
It kind of absorb it.
Okay.

(01:09:16):
To satisfy your balls.
Ow.
When you kiss me when you maskme hold my hand make me understand

(01:09:41):
I break up in a.
Okay, so do you have it therein your medulla?
On blangata.
Was that Nika Niles playingdrums there?
That's kind of.
See, See, she does a lot ofthat, right?

(01:10:03):
She does the.
The stuff that she playedbefore she was with Rush.
Yeah, it's good.
Oh, very good.
It's so good.
Yeah, yeah.
I listened to a whole bunchafter we played it on our episode.
Okay, so.
So you.
That's not Getty Lee bass, though.
That's a whole.
No, no, no.
That's a whole different style.
Okay, so you get the rhythm section.
You get.
You got it absorbed, and it'sin your medulla obliganda or whatever.

(01:10:27):
Okay, so now.
Okay, now keep it going.
Can you.
Can you hear it?
Can you hear it going?
Okay, keep it going.
Keep it going, keep it going,keep it going, keep it going.
Now I'm gonna play something.
You're gonna keep that beat going.
You ready?
Keep that beat going.

(01:10:47):
And superimpose it.
Ah.
Wow.
Doesn't go, eh.
Now, if you had AI and yousaid, you know what?
This.

(01:11:07):
And put it.
Okay, so after you and Toddoff of Classic Empires, when you
guys took off, I was stupidand stayed with the band, right?
Me and who?
You and dad took off fromClassic Embers.
And I stayed in the bandbecause I was having.
Even though I wasn't exactlyhappy in the band, I did enjoy performing,

(01:11:28):
and I did have a lot offrustrations in the band because
I wanted my YouTube.
Let's play more Van Halen.
Let's play some more Rockysongs, and let's play, you know,
maybe a little less of thisand a little more of that.
Like, we always wanted to playa little bit more rock in there,
right?
Because we weren't playing any Journey.

(01:11:48):
We weren't playing any VanHalen, and we weren't playing.
It was like John Cougar, andit was like kind of the old standard,
like 60s stuff.
Like, we couldn't seem to getto a good.
Classic Embers.
Like, it's older stuff.
Yeah.
You know, the new stuff.
Classic Hot Rod or something.

(01:12:08):
Yeah.
What's that the new stuff fromthe 70s?
Yeah, we put a classic hair or something.
Yeah.
So I kind of felt like.
Classic.
I wanted to take it to thenext level.
So I stayed with the band.
When you.
So this.
No, nobody probably knows this story.
So you.
And.
So who left first you and thendad or dad, then you.

(01:12:32):
What was the story?
I. I think I did.
Or did.
I think you did first, thenthat dad said, if Todd's not there,
I'm gonna take off.
Yeah.
Because my kids were young andit was just too hard.
So how did that make me feel.
When we both left?
Well, no, no, if you leave.

(01:12:54):
Right.
And dad says, well, if Todd'sgone, I'm gone.
And I'm like, I'm still here.
You're the one who started it.
Dad's the one who dragged methere, lied to them, said I could
sing and said I could frontthe band.
He was one of the founding members.
Yeah, yeah.
So I stayed in the bendbecause I'm like, okay, you know,
like maybe.

(01:13:15):
I don't know, maybe thingswill change because.
Because Dick was gone as well.
So it was three.
So it was Embers.
Mbr.
Ember.
Would that stand for Todd?
E, M, B, E, R, S. Yeah, yeah.
But the abbreviation was MBR,as in McGinnity's Bane and Richard.

(01:13:40):
Ah, that's where the name came from.
Oh, I thought it was just a fire.
Embers.
Well, he took the initials andthen he kind of spoke it out.
Right.
So Ember.
Right.
So that's who it is.
Overload.
Yeah.
What was Overload?
Is it Overload, which was theone that.
My Toma.
My Toma.
That's Mitoma.

(01:14:01):
I still love that band name.
Todd and Mark.
Mark.
Oh, that was before Norm.
Yeah, it was before.
Okay.
Yeah, Right.
Is that right?
Mike, Todd, Mark, My Toma.
But anyway, so.
So the three.
So like the three likeoriginal, original members.

(01:14:23):
Cuz I wasn't an.
Was not.
But the, you know, three guys leave.
Right.
And the only one left is B. Bane.
Right, right.
But I'm still in the bank is.
I'm like, well, you know, weget some other guys in here, you
know, I mean, dad was a bitstodgy with like his picks, like
with the songs you want to play.

(01:14:44):
He was really pushing forcountry and I'm like, maybe there
was a new people in here.
Like maybe, maybe I canfinally get, you know, have a bit
more say and stuff.
But we lost a drummer, so Ihad to drum, so I wasn't going to
sing as much.
I mean, I could I. I don'tknow if I could do four sets of singing
and drumming.
It's very, very difficult.

(01:15:05):
Your cardio has to be real good.
So I ended up being the.
The singer on like 25 of thesongs at that point.
So anyway, so we brought newsongs in, brought some interesting
stuff, some, you know,interesting 90s stuff.
We brought in ahead by acentury, by the.
By the hip.
So I sang and played on thatone, which I will tell you is probably

(01:15:28):
the most complex song I eversang in Drumdon.
Was that song incrediblydifficult to pull off because the
singing the way.
Because he's singing reallyweird in that song.
You remember that song?
Yeah, we play that one actually.
Oh yeah, that's right.
You guys do.
So anyway, so it's a bit.
It's a bit different.
The.
The beat does not go with thevocal at all.

(01:15:50):
Right.
They're either opposite ofeach other.
So it's very, very difficult.
Difficult.
So.
But anyway, so we're in thisband, we got this bass player and
Whose name still escapes me.
I can't remember, but he was agreat guy.
Super funk jazz background.
Right?
And at this time, I'm playinga lot of James Brown.

(01:16:13):
I've got.
I've.
I've got like six James Brown CDs.
And I'm playing in my practice time.
I'm playing and playing alongand playing along and learning how
to play this stuff, learningreally, really well.
And Cold Sweat, I rememberjust because of the Eddie Murphy,
you know, Hot Tub.
Because it's basically.
He's doing that song, Hot Tubis Cold Sweat.

(01:16:34):
Right.
So I, I know that.
I know that song.
And you're pulling up on thehi hat.
Anyway, get it all figured out.
I know how to play it.
And during jam sessions when.
When the other guys wereplugging all their pedals and trying
to get everything.
Oh, I can't figure it out.
Like, they could figure outthe technical stuff.

(01:16:56):
And me, the bass player,they're like, we're just jamming
while they're trying to gettheir shit figured out, right?
And.
And he.
We would just jam, just himand I.
Because the bass player comesin plugs in.
He sets like he's ready to go.
And the same with me, like,there's no around when I play.

(01:17:17):
I'm like, full pedal board toset up.
No, no, very in.
At the time, Bane had hisVariax, which was super fun.
Like, you gotta know whatyou're doing.
Like.
One thing and then the whole thing.
Yeah, it takes an hour tofigure it out.
Yeah.
But anyway, so we played.

(01:17:39):
So you remember we playedFalcon Lake, or fucking, like, as
we called it, fucking Lake.
We played.
We played first night, therewas nobody there.
Second night, word of mouthgot around that there was a band
there, and we were there, andwe're actually pretty good.
And then the crowd, like, itwas packed.
I was actually watching video.
I found some video on Facebookof, like, worse.
I don't know who it was.

(01:17:59):
One of the people, one of ourgirlfriends or whatever, or wives,
kind of panned the crowd.
And this place was packed andeverybody was dancing and danica
was like 10 years old.
Yeah.
Or whatever it was.
It's a long time ago.
Crazy.
But anyway, so, I mean, my Van.
Halen shirt, that doesn't fitme anymore.
Yeah.

(01:18:19):
I had my D. I had my DirtyRotten imbeciles don't mosh shirt
on.
And it was.
It was great.
We had fun.
The year following that, andI've told part of this story before,
so the year following that,the embers had dissolved.
All that was left was me andBane and a whole bunch of new people.
Right, right.

(01:18:41):
And it was tough.
I don't remember how theauditions happened, but we brought
this Roger guy in, and webrought that bass player whose name
I can't remember.
Right.
And I think we were down to,like a four piece maybe at the time.
We had no keyboard player.
Roger sang and played guitar.

(01:19:02):
Not then.
No.
No.
So anyway, so it was a newband, and Roger wanted to bring in
a lot of the same sort ofsongs that you guys play in your
current band, the guys from work.
Yep.
A lot of kind of 90s stuff,which was nice.
Which.
I'm like, hey, I like this.
You know, we did.
We did Kryptonite, which waskind of fun.
We did, like, the Odds and,like, kind of bands like that.

(01:19:25):
So it was.
It was kind of fun, but it wasa downgrade because you and dad were
really, really good, and theseguys were good, but they were like,
you know, they were not asgood as you guys were.
So it wasn't fun.
But the bass player, on theother hand, was fantastic.

(01:19:46):
So anyway, so we're playingLying Eyes, and I've decided at this
point, Sylvia and I talkedabout it.
She bought me the T shirt,which I still have.
It says on the front, it saysI am the band on the front of the
T shirt.
And on the back, it says drummer.
Sort of like.
Like a jersey would be, youknow, where it says the person's

(01:20:08):
name on the back.
Yep.
So she made that T shirt forme, with the idea that.
Look, used to.
You used to front the band,used to sing for the band.
You're, you know, you're theshow person.
You brought the crowd in, andyou talk to the crowd and get the
crowd going.
You know, all that sort of stuff.
And now I'm just the drummer.
I was kind of relegated tojust the drummer.

(01:20:30):
So I had that.
I am the band.
As in, I'm actually moreimportant than you guys give me credit
for.
And the drummer on the backsaid, yeah, I am.
I don't even have a fucking name.
I'm just the drummer.
The drummer.
So it was a horrible gig.
Absolutely horrible gig.
And when I was mingling.
I'm not mingling with thecrowd, kind of walking around the
crowd, and they were like,well, I thought this was the Embers.

(01:20:51):
These guys suck.
They just used their name.
It's not even the same bandanymore, you know, they really suck.
They're not any good.
So people came out to see theEmbers, expecting the spectacle from
the year before.
And now I was like, wow.
They're actually callingthemselves the Embers.
And it's not even the same, guys.
Like, this is worse than theGuess who or Foreigner, I guess.

(01:21:12):
But anyway, so the bass playerwasn't happy either.
He was like, wow.
Like, I can't believe I joinedthis band.
Like, they're like, you know,I feel like I'm just.
You know, this is my day job.
I don't like my day job.
And we had kind of buttedheads a little bit with the other

(01:21:32):
guys in the band going like.
Like, come on, let's step it up.
Like, let's.
Let's try some stuff.
Like maybe change somearrangements and stuff.
But there was no changingarrangements because, you know, everybody'd
be lost.
Everybody would be lost.
And he and I as a rhythm section.
And I'm gonna say this now,and no offense to dad or anything,
but he and I gelled betterthan dad and I did.

(01:21:54):
Because dad often played withyou and I played with you.
But dad didn't always playwith me, if that makes sense.
He was more locked in on whatthe guitar player was doing.
I. I do.
Now that I'm playing bass withthe band.
Warren and I, we set the groove.

(01:22:15):
Yes.
And I was used to playing with.
Say, I'm following Dan, right?
I'm like, I'm not supposed tobe following him.
I was following with.
And when you switch fromguitar to bass, it's like, okay,
I'm.
I'm in the rhythm section now.
I've got to, you know, laydown the groove, I guess you could

(01:22:36):
say.
So it is a different thing.
And I've never played drums,so I don't know that aspect of it.
I always wanted to try it tosee, like, even to get an electronic
drum kit or something, just tobe able to do that.
I just don't have.
I mean, I don't.
I don't play the guitar asmuch as I used to or as much as I
should.
So to find time for that and,you know, it's just.

(01:23:01):
It's too bad, but when youswitch instruments, it's.
It's.
It's amazing how different itis in the overall song, like, what
you contribute.
And I'm sure when you playkeyboards, it's like a whole different
mentality again,.
Because, well, singing versusdrumming, too.
Completely different sides ofthe paradigm.

(01:23:23):
Yeah.
Like, it's not the same.
It's not the same.
It's.
You have a different role.
You have a different thing to fulfill.
And in some bands I was in,when I was singing, I was singing
and drumming.
So again, the dynamic was different.
Right.
So.
But when I played with thisguy, I think his name might have
been Dan, to be honest, now Ithink about it, and he played with

(01:23:46):
me the whole time on stage.
We're looking at each otherthe whole time, and then his like,
okay, I'm gonna do something here.
You know, kind of looking atand just feeding off each other.
So he does something and Ifollow along and then I do something
and he falls on it.
I never had that before exceptwhen I play with Dan, like, from

(01:24:07):
Salty Bear.
Dan and I always had to lockin because there's only two of us
most of the time.
Right.
So it was.
It was so much fun.
And I loved.
I stayed with that band for awhole year because I loved playing
with this guy.
He was so much fun.
So anyway, so we're playingLion Eyes.
Possibly the longest song ever recorded.
Yep.
Or, sorry, it's a long one.

(01:24:29):
It's the longest song everrecorded if you're playing it live
in front of a Whatever.
Right.
It is the most boring songever to play.
It's the most boring song everto sing.
Nothing happens in the song.
All they're doing is telling a story.
Right?
Telling a story.
And it moves really slow.

(01:24:50):
The story moves really slow.
Really slow.
And it.
There's not a lot going on inthe story.
It's really boring song.
Yeah.
If you have to go pee, that'sthe time to go.
Totally gonna go grab a drink now.
As a band, we always did thatsong as the first song, always.
Because was a good way to findour rhythm.

(01:25:12):
Right?
So anyway, so me and this Danguy are playing and we're like, like
we're into verse seven.
There's like 17, there's 10more verses to go.
I don't think we're gonna make it.
We're so fuckin bored.
So train is not gonna make the station.

(01:25:33):
Well, I mean we can, like.
I could walk more coal in the fire.
I could just put a loop on andwalk away.
Don Henley, he gets praised asthis great drummer and come up with
the most boring drum beat ever.
In that song.
There's nothing going on.
So anyway, the seventh versein, however many verses are on that
song, seventh verse comes inand I'm making up that number.

(01:25:55):
I don't know how many versesit is.
I just.
I just know when it's done.
Sometime after the guitar solo.
Yeah.
And let me tell you, Rogercouldn't guitar solo like you.
But anyway, so seventh versein, I look at Dan and Dan looks at
me like, this is like.
This is like water.
This is water.
What do you call it?

(01:26:15):
Waterboarding.
This is waterboarding.
This is the worst.
Yeah.
And then to hear the singernot even remotely pull it off and
it's.
Glenn Fry is not a great vocalist.
He sounds good, but there's nodynamic range to him.
And our singer couldn't evenpull that off.

(01:26:37):
So it was painful, right?
It's like, like, like verseafter verse and verse after verse
of those guys making mistakesand it doesn't sound good.
And.
And then you can tell thecrowds like, who the are these guys?
Because it's the first song ofthe night.
So we.
During practice a coupletimes, while we were waiting for
those bozos to get their gearplugged in, we would, you know, start

(01:27:01):
playing some funk and startplaying some jazz.
Backing off of each other,having some fun.
Like we're killing time.
And they'd always get mad whenwe do that.
It's like, well, fuck, we'rewaiting around.
You guys weren't ready when weshowed up, right?
You know, it's like we got todo something to kill the time.
Like we might as well leaveand come back in an hour, you know.
So anyway, so we knew, welooked at each other and we're like.

(01:27:23):
So I'm playing and I startlike lifting up the hi hat a little
bit and say, you know, So Istart doing that and it's like, that's
not part of the song.
But then it's Like, I startdoing that and he's like, boom, boom,

(01:27:49):
boom, boom, boom, boom, boom,boom, boom.
Oh, it's offbeat stuff.
All of a sudden, the crowdstops, goes, oh, this suddenly got
interesting.
And now we actually have.
The crowd is actually like,oh, okay.
Now they're actually interested.

(01:28:10):
So we, you know, we.
We play a line, maybe twolines, maybe.
Maybe we got into three lines.
And.
And it sounds good, man.
Lying eyes with that rhythmsection in it.
All of a sudden, it becomes agood song.
And the lyrics actually mean alittle bit more because when you
funkify things, it's a littlebit dirtier.

(01:28:30):
Right?
You know.
Yeah.
The singer or the singer.
The Bane, whatever.
And no offense, Bane.
And this is a long, you know,water at the bridge and all that.
But Bane turns around at me,but he turns around like you can
see me here.
He turns around like this.
So his mouth is still on the mic.
Yeah.

(01:28:51):
And he goes play the song.
And me and Dan are like, oh,all right.
He was so fucking lost.
Oh.
I bell just trying to strum the.

(01:29:12):
Good.
Because.
But all of a sudden, how do you.
You could play the guitar tothat and it would sound really good.
Yeah.
But you'd have to have practiced.
It, of course, changes.

(01:29:32):
But that's the thing too.
And I was.
I was.
I'm going to come out and sayI'd never said this before, but I
was an asshole about the whole thing.
I was pissed off.
I was.
I was not enjoying it like Idid when you and dad were in the
band.
And even though dad and Iclashed from time to time because
dad do fucking loud.
Yeah, yeah.

(01:29:53):
You're too fast, too slow, tooloud to this, to that.
Right.
All the time.
But he was just trying to make me.
Help me get better.
Right?
That's.
At the end of the day, that'swhat it was about.
Yeah.
And I did get better becauseof it.
So flashback your childhood.
I was.
Yeah, but I was like, I get it.
Like, this is what dad wastrying to show me.

(01:30:15):
Because when I was in a band,when the other people were not maybe
pulling their weight as muchas I thought they should be, I was
that guy before.
I wasn't pulling my weight inthe bend like I should have been.
I should have been playing alittle bit better.
Should have been playing alittle bit tighter.
I should have been flyingfollowing the direction of what the
other guys were doing.
I should have been doing a lotof things better.

(01:30:35):
And it was in that momentwhere it coalesced into like, I.
You know, dad was right Like,I should have not been like, hey,
I'm.
Playing on a stage.
Woohoo.
I should have been doing thework, you know, doing the work better.
It was at that point that Isaw like me and the base player,
the only ones doing the work here.
You know, we're not justplaying to the crowd, but.

(01:30:57):
But you got to play to the song.
Yeah.
You know, it's amazing whenyou're, when you're playing with
a bass player and a drummer,when they, when they lock in.
Yeah.
That is magical.
Oh, it is.
And then usually when, likewhen we lock in and then Dan and
Randy lock in, it's like.
Yeah.

(01:31:17):
Because usually if, whenyou're, when you're guitar player
and say you've got, you're.
You're trying to practice asong and you have the original song
playing in the background,you're playing with it.
I mean, it's on a record ortape or whatever.
It's, it's tight becausethat's the, it's the perfect take.

(01:31:37):
Correct.
So the drummer and the bassplayer are locked in.
Then it's up to you to lock inwith them.
So when you're practicing athome, it's like, okay, I can lock
in, no problem.
But if the bass player and thedrummer aren't locked in, when you
jam it, it doesn't feel as, Idon't say satisfying, but it's.

(01:32:01):
But when you lock in, it's.
It's like no other thing.
It's like you can just.
Your eyes can roll back yourhead and you can just kind of sit
back like you were, you know,just kind of enjoying the music because
you can feel it.
Like it just, it's like an energy.
It's, it's, it's.
Unless you've played in a bandwhere everything's locked in, it's,

(01:32:25):
it's amazing.
It's an amazing thing.
I'm actually putting a poll inour discord here because I think.
How important is the rhythmsection in a song?
100%, 50%, 10% or 75%?
Because I think.
Here's the thing, because I'vealways been a drummer and I've always

(01:32:46):
played to you or Dan.
Right.
I was always playing with aguitar player against the guitar
player.
To me, it was always key toplay with a guitar player because
I always felt like the guitaris the most important part of the
song.
It's more important than thevocal, more important than the bass.
More important because that iswhere the hook lies for me.

(01:33:06):
That's what I always felt itwas until later.
And you've been in a few bandsand you're like, you know, maybe
the vocalist is actually moreimportant than I give it credit for,
you know?
Yeah, but the, but I mean therhythm section alone, bass and the
drums have to be tight because that's.

(01:33:26):
The guitar should be following that.
You shouldn't be following the guitarist.
You're, you're, you're the anchor.
Yeah.
You're there.
I'm the one that's gonna setthe groove.
I'm the one that's gonna setthe mood.
Everyone else has to follow.
Get in line or get the fuck out.
Yeah, yeah.
You know that kind of a.
But, but I didn't realize ittill playing with this Dan guy because,

(01:33:51):
I mean, I'm gonna.
Dan and I played, we were twopiece, right.
So if he's playing bass orplaying guitar, I'm always playing
with him.
But when he's playing bass,he's playing it more melodically,
like more guitar.
Like, I guess because hedidn't know how to play bass.
Well, he didn't play guitar either.
But you know, he did the besthe could and I think.
But that's where originalitycomes in and, and this is where you're,

(01:34:14):
where both of your, what Icall it, like the chemistry between
the both of you when you're,when you guys are writing songs.
After a while it's justbecause it's only the two of you.
There's only that way to go.
You don't have to worry aboutanybody else.
You guys are the rhythmsection as well as you know everything
else.
Yeah, I just put the poll inher discord.

(01:34:37):
How important is the rhythmsection of song?
I put 100%, 50%, 10% or 75%.
Kevin Brown put a new poll in.
How important is ordering theoptions in polls?
Very.
Sean Geek.
Not at all.
Or Squirrel.
Oh my God, that's great.

(01:35:00):
Oh my God, it's hilarious.
They're not listening to ourpodcast and then critiquing it as,
as we're on, are they?
Oh my God.
Because that would be a wholedifferent podcast altogether.
Let's watch a live podcast andwe'll critique them in, in real time.
And then they can play it backlater and go, hey, what the hell?

(01:35:22):
Oh my God, that was hilarious.
But you know what?
I guess I, I have a deep appreciation.
Playing with that Dan guy waslike, was revelatory, you know?
Yeah.
It was like, ah, now then Iget it.
And then going back andlistening to James Brown after that,
like everything but the Rhythmsection wasn't just the bass and.

(01:35:43):
And drums.
It was the bass, drums and thehorns were part of that rhythm section.
Section.
They all played together.
It was fantastic.
It was fantastic.
It was like really good.
Yeah, sweet.
But anyway, We did our passing goes.

(01:36:05):
Yep.
We did our Wheel of Spite.
Yep.
Did our rants.
We did our rants.
No one's coming over to joinour show because they got more loyalty
to fucking Corey Morissetteand whoever.
Whoever's the fucking ringer.
Co host because Kamire's not there.
But no, you guys can go listento his show.

(01:36:27):
It's fine.
You know, just because herecords on our night anyway.
Whatever.
That's okay.
We'll have them.
George is like, listen.
Like even George is listeningto the show right now.
Really?
Georgia Lynch.
Yeah, whatever.
George Lynch.
Whatever.

(01:36:47):
No Georgia Lunch.
The real Georgia.
George lynch is a piker.
Georgia lynch is the real deal.
But anyways.
Well, I think I'm tired.
I'm on my second drink.
I'm tired.
I'm ready to go.
Ready to call it quits.
We gotta do.
We gotta do our.
Not our homework, but our.

(01:37:08):
Our.
So Patreon, join us on our Patreon.
Yes.
We've got three tiers and I'm going.
To make a correction as youread these and I'll point it out
when we get there.
Oh, okay.
So we have the tier onecertified geek, which is $5 a month
early access to episodes andfull unedited video up to a month
before public release.

(01:37:29):
Name mentioned on the show asa supporter.
Tier 2 is to True Geek, whichis $10 a month.
Everything in Tier 1,exclusive access to the Discord server.
Behind the scenes correction.
This is.
This is where we're going todo the correction.
Okay, so I realize having apaywall to the Discord is not a good

(01:37:49):
idea.
Actually.
No.
Because apparently that's whatend in the podcast will rock will
do.
And I wasn't on the Discordfor a long time, but I'm like, well,
I do want to support the show.
So I support the show.
And I got on their Discord and.
And the Discord for like, allkidding aside, I know we're taking
shots at Corey and stuff, butI love Cory to death.

(01:38:11):
He's one of my favorite human beings.
He runs a great show, he's gota great community, all that sort
of stuff.
This is all just in pun.
What he's built is fantastic.
Somehow he still built itbehind a paywall.
But I don't want to.
I don't.
I don't want our Discord to be.
To be behind the paywall.
So I'm opening up the Discordto all but.

(01:38:33):
Continue reading but it's aninvite only.
If you want to be on theDiscord, let me know.
I've sent invites to a lot ofpeople, but Continue reading?
The.
The $10 here.
So yeah, so that was exclusiveaccess to the Discord server, which
is a change behind the scenescontent and bloopers.

(01:38:57):
Yep.
Which is basically.
So basically that is everyepisode we release, you're getting
the unedited full version ofthe episode when I go in.
And after we're done recordingafter tonight, the episode is going
to be edited down.
I'm going to take out stuffand try to tailor it and be a bit
more professional.

(01:39:17):
But if you want the uneditedraw version, that version in video
format will be available onthe patreon.
Okay.
Tier three supreme geek, whichis $20 a month.
Everything in tier one andtwo, personal video message from
the host recorded just for youwhen you join.
Name handle featured on the show.

(01:39:39):
Social media as a top supporter.
Mm.
Yes.
So some changes to that.
What we're going to do.
I'm just to.
Going.
Going to.
Oh, come on now.

(01:39:59):
There we go.
I don't know if I. I don'tthink I've changed this yet.
Okay, so basically we'reoffering access to the Discord server
for free.
However, you have to get invited.
If you come in and disrupteverything more than Chaz Charles
would disrupt things, we'llkick you off more than.

(01:40:22):
More than.
So up.
Up to Chaz level is fine.
But what was that sound like a baseline?
No, as a car went by.
Oh my God.
Muffler.
Muffler.
But we won't.
We want to have people on.
We want to have people in.

(01:40:43):
So.
So we're opening the Discord.
But basically what you'regoing to get on these tiers and I'm
trying to see which the tearshere benefits.
You know everybody's loggedoff by now, right?
Oh yeah, probably.
Anyway, so.
But anyway, so if.
If you pay.
If you pay to be part of our Patreon.

(01:41:03):
Yeah, you get all that freestuff, all the content.
But we're going to offer thepass and go is going to be open to,
I believe the $5 tier,.
But.
The topics of conversation aregoing to be open to the next tier
up.
So if you want.
If you want.
Basically the idea is like ifyou want to bring a topic for us

(01:41:25):
to talk about on the show, ayou gotta pay.
So it gets it Gets you.
Wow, I'm losing my train ofthought here.
But basically, look, if youwant a topic on the show and you
want to talk about the topicon the show, we have people that
we brought in other podcastersthat are doing the work.
But if you're not a podcaster,you want to get on the show, you

(01:41:46):
want to find a way to get onthe show, and you get a really good
topic, we'll bring you on atthat higher tier, no problem.
I've extended this invitationto a number of people and we've had
a number of these people on,but it'll be on the Patreon.
You can just go over there.
But I want to thank thepatrons we currently have.
Let's see if my list is up to date.

Mixtapes from Hell.
So thank you all for your support.
Appreciate it.
We're learning how to do thispaid Patreon stuff, which I still
feel is bullshit, but I knowit's a necessity and it does help
us go in the air.

(01:43:09):
And I do want to say, I dowant to apologize because Gibraltar
brought it up, but there willbe ads on the show from here on out.
I decided to jump on thecaptivate ads thing because it is
expensive to run this show.
It's very expensive to run a podcast.

(01:43:30):
There's lots of costs, but wehave to find ways to mitigate those
costs.
The Patreons, thank you verymuch for your sponsorship, but the
ads will also bring someadditional revenue.
It'd be nice to break even,maybe make a couple of shekels, so,
you know, we can invest insome stuff.
I just invested in someequipment that came out of my personal
funds.
But Todd needs to invest.
He needs to get the newpodcast track P4.

(01:43:52):
I'd like to raise the funds toget taught a pod track P4 next.
Not schmickels.
But anyway, thanks for everybody.
I really appreciate everybodytuning in.
And I know you guys like andthe podcast Will rock.
And if we stolen.
Not stolen, but some listenersover there come over here to listen
to our show.
Thank you.
Yes, and the podcast Will Rockis phenomenal, but we're slightly.

(01:44:14):
But we're a slightly better show.
No, I'm just kidding.
Were marginally less than that show.
I do adore that show and CoreyMorissette, but next week when he
and Kevin Brown come on, we'regoing to be guns ablazing.
We're going to just shoot themdown like crazy.
Oh, sweet.

(01:44:36):
Somebody just texted me.
I wonder if it's one of those yahoos.
Is it?
No, it's just Gibraltar again,Mighty K. Okay.
All right, we'll sign off.
Thanks, Todd.
And I'm going to hit stop andthen you and I can talk about the
stuff going on in a couple of weeks.

(01:44:57):
Sure.
Good night.
Bye.
