All right, before we getstarted, let me just tell you
what the question of the day is,so I don't forget to do that.
Question of the day who is amusician that you would like to

(01:20):
see come back from the dead?
Who is a musician that you wishwere still alive?
Fair enough.

Tiffany Mason (01:23):
I like it.
I like it.
Let's resurrect some people.

Jay Franze (01:26):
There you go.
All right, let's just jump in.

Who would you resurrect or watch in hologram?

Jay Franze (01:35):
now, because you wish you could bring them back
to life.
It is Easter, is it Easter?
Yet When's Easter?
Easter's next month?
Right, that's wrong.
We probably shouldn't be doingthat.

I was going to say you're hopping ahead a
little.

Jay Franze (01:48):
Hopping ahead.
Lightning will strike tonight,folks, All right.
Well, let's say back in, Iwould say the 90s, Maybe early
90s.
I used to live in New York.
I had a recording studio in NewYork and I would just go see
live.
Bands spend a lot of timeworking with the bands from the

(02:09):
area, from the New York area,and I had a chance to go see
this band.
It was a five-piece band that Ireally enjoyed.
I thought they were really good.
I bought their first couplealbums.
I just really liked their music, their music.
However, they ran into somestruggles, so they were losing
players, so they would loseguitar players and they would

(02:29):
lose drummers on a frequentbasis, leaving just the bass
player and the singer.
So after rounds and rounds oflosing musicians, they decided
to go ahead and try them as aduo.
So the bass player learned toplay guitar and then he plays
bass with pedals like an organplayer would, and then the

(02:54):
singer plays flute, plays drums,plays bass on a trigger pad and
whatever else is neededthroughout the night, and these
two musicians together soundlike a full band when they
perform live, which is veryimpressive.
So I became good friends withthese people, so much so that I

(03:18):
recorded a record for a girlnamed Mindy Regal Mindy Jo Regal
for a girl named Mindy Regal,mindy Jo Regal and I asked the
singer of this band to come inand sing background vocals.
So I had a brief moment spentin the studio with this person.

So I'm giving the backstory of a band called
Circe S-I-R-S-Y S-I-S.

Jay Franze (03:43):
S-I-S no, s-i-r-s-y Sound it-S, no S-I-R-S-Y.

Sound it out, people.
Sound it out with us.
Sir C, sir.

Jay Franze (03:51):
S-I-R-S-Y.
S-i-r-s-y, a nickname that wasgiven to her, I believe, by her
sister.
Probably could not pronouncesister.

Aw Cute.

Jay Franze (04:00):
Anyways.
So this band has been afavorite of mine For a long time
.
We've become friends, I'vefollowed them throughout the
years and I've recommended toseveral people to go check them
out whenever possible, andeverybody has always come back
with some sort of a positivereview.
So, miss Tiffany, they came toyour area and I recommended that
you go see them.

(04:21):
So tonight I'm expecting afull-blown book report on what
you thought of the show.

Well, jay, I can do you one better.
I did a whole podcast episodeabout it, nice.
So it's not going to come outuntil March 27th, though, so I
will give you some cliff notes.
It was in Daytona Beach, so wehad to drive down there.
It was a windy evening inDaytona Beach.
It really was.
Actually, we were verysurprised to pull into town late
.
We were shocked as we pulledinto town and there were police

(04:55):
motorcycles everywhere.
We were like what's going on?
And then it dawned on us it wasbike week.

Jay Franze (05:01):
Yes one time to be driving around in Daytona.

Oh gosh, yeah.
Well, I was expecting, you know, some kind of weird brawl of
some sort, but that never didhappen.
There were a lot of motorcycles, a lot of different types, a
lot of different combinations ofguys riding together, or dudes
with their wives or girlfriends,or side by side, or all the
different bike types.
But we got to the hotel, foundwhere we were going to watch

(05:29):
Circe.
I had in my head it was goingto be like concert-ish, like
there was going to be a stage,it was going to be on the sand
and we were going to be likedancing or whatever, and instead
it was on like a very largebalcony and because it was windy
, I think it didn't drown themout, but I don't think that they

(05:51):
got the best sound, becausethey were playing all these
musical instruments.
And then they had like thiscrazy seating policy and you had
to be seated with menus or youcould be served.
It was was a whole thing thatwe were like what?
Because there were open tables.
So we were like, why can't wesit here?

Jay Franze (06:12):
So that was a whole thing.
Just put the menu in that chairover there, yeah.

So then they did break and went up and met them
and talked to them.
Melanie couldn't have beennicer.
Rich was engaged inconversation with another patron
of their event, but theirstories were great and it was
funny because Rich was sayinghow the bass guitarist never
gets the girl.
But he did.
And then they made a joke thatnow he's not the bass guitarist

(06:37):
Well, I mean, he kind of is, butyou know he's doing that with
his foot pedals.
But I guess there was one oftheir other friends was there
attending as well, and you know,rich was like that's another
guy he got.
He got the girl too as abassist and he was sitting right
next to us.
So that was pretty cool.
But I think that they wereprobably expecting like this hot
evening.
So they had everybody on thebalcony, but what I think they

(07:00):
should have done was have theminside, because then we would
have gotten like the full, likewe would have heard all the
instruments, we would have feltthe music.
It had that feeling like youwent out for dinner and there
just happened to be a band onthe patio.
It felt more like that, whichwas a little disappointing.
So I think I'd rather see themin an indoor venue.

(07:21):
I think that they're worth it.
I think that that they have thetalent, but, like I said, it
was outside, so I feel like it.
Just you know.

Jay Franze (07:28):
Kind of goes back to what we were talking about last
week performing indoors versusoutdoors.

Exactly.

Jay Franze (07:33):
Indoors you get the reflections and everything
Outdoors you don't Sound, justkeeps going and going and going.

Yeah, but she couldn't have been nicer.
We took a picture together,sent it to you, of course, and
yeah, I mean it was a greatnight out, no complaints here.

Jay Franze (07:47):
What about the music itself?

Yeah, and so we listened to some of it on the
radio on the way down so that wewere maybe familiar with a song
or two.
When they played it, which theydid, there was two that came up
that I was like wait, we heardthis.
But you know, I'm a lyricsperson, so I need to know what
the story is, and I didn't getto catch the story of really any
of the songs.
So, yeah, I need to listen tosome other stuff and then go see

(08:12):
them, I think.

Jay Franze (08:14):
One of the ones that I like is Like a Drum.
We used it as a theme song fora little while until you know
Apple and Spotify and YouTubegets mad at us for doing so.

Now we had permission, even though you had
the rights yeah.

Jay Franze (08:27):
But still they don't accept that as an answer.
So we just stopped using itjust to try to get away from
that.
But it has a good story.
I liked it.
It's, you know, about mentalchallenges, so you're going to
beat it like a drum, so I likethat they had another song
called dry, which is aboutalcohol issues.

(08:48):
That was an early one, that'swhen they were a full band okay,
so I liked it but what do youthink the the overall
musicianship of being able to doall that stuff as two people?

I think it's pretty incredible.
I always think it's incredibleperiod if you can play one
instrument and sing, but he hastwo instruments that he can play
and she's got like about fouror five that she can play.
I think one you didn't mentionand maybe it's the same thing as
the flute, but the melodica.
Okay, I think that's what itwas.

(09:19):
I was reading like a bio orwhatever, maybe Wikipedia about
them.
They have their own Wikipedia.
It's like wow, you've reallymade it if you've got your own
Wikipedia.
I know.

Jay Franze (09:31):
George is in the house tonight, by the way, so
say hi to George.

Hi George.

Jay Franze (09:34):
George doesn't know this yet, but he said he was
going to go ahead and create aWikipedia page for us.
It'll make us feel special.

Oh my gosh, thank you, george.
I oh my gosh, thank you.

Jay Franze (09:41):
George, I know.
Thanks, george, we appreciatethat.

It makes sense yeah it does.
Yeah, we should have somethinglike that.

Jay Franze (09:47):
He is our number one .
If you don't know who George is, let's take a moment to
recognize George.

Yes.

Jay Franze (09:52):
George is by far our number one fan here.
He comes here every week.
We appreciate George very much.
Thank you, George, for spendingtime with us.
Thank you for sharing your timeon socials.
Thank you for always beingthere for us.

I have to add also, when he connects with us
on social, it's genuine question, comment, interest, engagement
and, I think, the same thing onthe show.
He's always really adding valueto our conversation.

Jay Franze (10:20):
So thank you, george A nod to you tonight and then
he follows that up with oh, Iforgot.
We're saying how great you are,George, and then he tells us
you forget about us.
I get it.
He forgot he was going to makethe Wikipedia page.
It's all right, Thanks.

It's okay, we'll remind you on socials.
Thank you, just keep remindingyou.

Jay Franze (10:48):
So I think it's not only impressive that they can
play all those instruments anddo it all at the same time, so
it sounds like the band isplaying at one time but I also
think it's impressive that she'splaying the drum standing up
why?

why is that?
Why is that a thing?

Jay Franze (10:58):
well, she's a singer and wants to be able to project
her voice.
And she, she's got a verypowerful voice.
Yes, I mean a very, verypowerful voice.
So it's always better as asinger to stand and project that
voice and I'm sure as a frontperson, she's used to being the
person standing at the front ofthe stage.
So I'm sure all of that playedinto this and I know they had to

(11:18):
rig the drum kit in a way thatit made it so she could stand.

Is it hard to play the drums standing up?

Jay Franze (11:25):
Well, I'm not a drummer, but I'm assuming it
would be.
I would assume pressing thekick pedal would be a lot harder
standing up than it would besitting down, because your leg
is more relaxed and you can moveyour foot to the beat from
sitting down.
If you're standing up, youalmost have to be moving your

(11:46):
body and moving your whole,putting your whole leg into that
pedal.

I don't know well , the other thing is that they
are so experienced and they'vehad so much time together that
it's a lot of muscle memory.
Probably at this point you knowwhere they've played the same
songs and you know you start tomove without thinking almost you
know so probably a little bitsame songs and you know you
start to move without thinkingalmost you know so probably a
little bit of that plays into ittoo and practice and all the

(12:10):
things.
But very, very talented.
Super cute that they're stillso in love.
Is he a little bit older thanher?

Jay Franze (12:19):
no, he started to look like it, but I wouldn't say
too much older.
I mean okay.
I mean when I met them, theyboth were much younger.

I mean it was almost 30 years ago, when I
first met him yeah I mean damnthing about that was almost 30
years ago I know, isn't it crazyat our age to start thinking
about things like that?
Like I have a shirt from highschool and I'm like, oh yeah,
it's like 10 years old well,it's a little bit older than
that yeah, I mean, I know I'vegone bald.

Jay Franze (12:48):
I believe he has gone gray yeah, so yeah, I think
.
I think gray probably makes youlook a little older than bald.
Yeah, especially if you're baldyou put a hat on, you don't
really notice.

Gray, it's kind of there at all times I think he
had like a page boy hat on yeah, that's his, his style yep, yep
, and you know women, we coulduse hair color.
So, although she looks like nota day over 40, no, she's a very
pretty girl yeah, yeah, it'sreally nice great personality.

Jay Franze (13:21):
As a bass player, he's a very lucky man.

Yes, yes, he is.

Jay Franze (13:25):
But no, to be fair, he is a guitar player now, and
guitar players get all thechicks.

Yeah, yeah but at heart.

Jay Franze (13:32):
He is a bass player.

It's all that finger play.

Jay Franze (13:34):
Yes, we're already there.

Tony Scott (13:40):
Left in awful early in the show tonight.

Jay Franze (13:43):
I'm sure he is good with his fingers.

He's got coordination, a lot of dexterity
, a lot of muscle.

Jay Franze (13:52):
A lot of muscle memory.

A lot of muscle memory.
They've been married a longtime, so yes, that's the other
thing.

Jay Franze (13:59):
We didn't mention that, but they are now married.
They were not married when Imet them, they were just getting
to know each other.

when I met them, yeah, and how cool like they're
just married living their bestlife just traveling around.
Yeah, it's great becausethey're literally traveling all
the time.

Jay Franze (14:17):
There's hardly ever a moment they're not on the road
yeah and they like they travelout to the west coast and
they'll spend to like 20 showsup and down california and every
place in between.
But yeah, you want to talkabout dedicated fans.
We have George, which is allthat matters to us.
But they have a like their fanbase, they pitch in money for

(14:51):
their travels, I mean everything.
They're a very smart duo.
Their fans sponsor their milesInteresting.
On social media you'll hear oh,thanks to so-and-so for
sponsoring the last 200 miles.
So it's very clever that theirfan base is very strong, a very

(15:12):
good, strong group of peoplewhich, like I said, they had a
record deal.
At one point they gotthemselves a record deal and
then chose to let it go becausethere's nothing they can't do on
their own.

Tony Scott (15:22):
Yeah.

Jay Franze (15:23):
They don't need that backing.
They're not looking to be thenext Taylor Swift style show.

Right.

Jay Franze (15:31):
So they do very well .
And as far as the musicianshipin the booking, like she books
all the shows he drives.

She's booking shows while they're driving, Ah
sure, oh my gosh, speaking ofthat when we were there, they're
driving.
Ah sure, oh my gosh, speakingof that.
When we were there, there wasthis older lady, dottie, and
when they broke you know, inbetween their sets or whatever,
my friend and I walked up thereand I said, oh, I want to
introduce myself.
And she was in the process oftalking to this older lady and

(16:02):
this older lady she grabbed bothmy friend and I's hand and
she's just talking to us and herfriend is, like you know,
hanging her head in shame.
And I guess that this ladyDottie was a booking Melanie at
a gig, as they were just like inthe middle of their set.
She's like 85 years old or 87.
She was older, said her secretto life was Dew doers, scotch.

(16:24):
And yeah, she was just bookinga booking a show for melanie and
rich right there on the spotcersei, I should say cersei
s-i-r-s-y s-i-r-s-y.

Jay Franze (16:41):
George says that he would imagine they'd have to
maneuver the drum kit to meether needs and they did.

They customized the entire thing, including the
trigger pads, and I don't thinkshe's really that tall.

Jay Franze (16:50):
No, I mean she's average height.
I mean I would say she'sprobably a little taller than
you.

I think she's a little bit shorter.

Jay Franze (16:57):
Short no.

No.

Jay Franze (16:59):
No, now you're going to make me pull up a photo.

I have her email, I'm going to email her.
That's awesome.
Excuse me, I would like to askyou how tall are you?

Jay Franze (17:10):
It has nothing to do with your music.
It's probably on the Wikipediapage.

It probably is.

Jay Franze (17:14):
Oh no, she's taller than you by about an inch.

Five six.

Jay Franze (17:18):
I don't know, I'm just going by the picture.

Oh, that's because I bend down.
Oh, is that what it is?
Yeah, yeah, I'm not likestanding straight up.

Jay Franze (17:31):
Take my picture, dear god you're.
You're taller.
Okay, I get it, you're taller,man.
Sure people do really worryabout every inch they can get,
don't they?

oh no, I just love a good argument.

Jay Franze (17:43):
Is that what it is, george?
Please help me, buddy.
All right, anyways, that's allI want to talk about.
I just want to see what youthought of Cersei.

Yeah, Well, I mean I would definitely listen
to them again.
I agree that on the radio theysound amazing, or like when I
stream them or whatever.
She does have a very powerfulvoice, and you know I'm a sucker
for a nice powerful voice, so Iwould definitely go see them
again, without a doubt but I'dwant to see them indoors and
rich.

Jay Franze (18:10):
He records them and produces them and you know she
writes the songs.
I mean he helps she writes thelyrics and part of the music.
He writes the music, but heproduces the projects, he
engineers the projects.
They do it all out of theirhome.
I mean it's very impressiveoverall.
They run their own website,they run their own merch.

I mean everything wow, I think I'm gonna get some
of their merch.
I felt bad.
I didn't do it when I was thereand I was like the thong or I
was going to.
There's a cersei thong it wasit'sikers Week Hello.
It is Bikers Week, to bewearing a thong, nothing wrong
with a whale tail hanging outwhile you're in Bikers Week.
Okay, nice.

Jay Franze (18:51):
Oh boy, it's too early in the night to be going
so far left.

Okay, well, let's bring it back over.
I'm going to share some newswith you, okay.

Jay Franze (19:01):
Are you ready?

Tony Scott (19:01):
Yes, lay it on you.

I'm going to share some news with you, okay,
are you ready?
Lay it on you, okay.
Do you know how old the GrandOle Opry is this year?

Jay Franze (19:09):
26.

100.
The Grand Ole Opry is turning100 this year 226.
I already gave you the answer.

Jay Franze (19:22):
So 100 was my final answer.

Well, I'm telling you, you didn't guess 100 at
all, so I'm just telling you.

Jay Franze (19:29):
Final answer 100.

That's the final answer 100.
So yes, so I thought that thatwas interesting.
They are planning to do allkinds of stuff throughout the
year to commemorate that andcelebrate it.
So lots of people will be, inthere.
They're going to play a lot ofmusic, yeah Well, speaking of

(19:54):
music, okay, I'm going to readthis little blurb Country music
legend Randy Travis announced atthe Grand Ole Opry that's going
to be a hundred years old thisyear.

Jay Franze (20:01):
Oh, George was right , caden says 100.

Oh hey, caden, Caden from last week, great to
have you here.
Don't believe me, don't believeyou.
I believe the internet newsinstead.

Jay Franze (20:15):
I don't think you believe that either.

but you know what I don't think, so so he
announced that at the Grand OleOpry that his life will be
turned into a biopic titledforever and ever amen.
Fellow country star clay walkerwill portray travis in his
later years, while the actor ofhis younger life has yet to be
announced.
This film is based on travis's2020 memoir and is currently in

(20:38):
production.
Travis, who suffered a nearfetal stroke in 2013, which I
know we've talked about before,has continued touring and
extended his more-life tour into2025.
Though the country legend won'tsing in the shows due to his
stroke, he and his wife, maryDavis, will be on stage and
interact with fans whilevocalist James Dupree performs

(21:01):
with Travis' original touringband.
So he just hangs out on theside and sees all of his loving
and adoring fans and then, likeI said, they're going to.
I never heard of this.
A biopic, so a biographypicture.
I think that's what that's.

Jay Franze (21:16):
Biopic.

Combined, smashed together.
Yes, so I know we talked aboutthat.
He's using AI to reproduce hisvoice and cut albums, so he's
going to go on tour.

Jay Franze (21:30):
How do you feel about using AI to recreate a
voice like that?

I mean I don't want to say I don't like it, but
I feel like I don't like it.
I want to see the person onstage.
I want to see them holding themicrophone and dancing and
connecting with the fans, whichI know like he can't help it,
that he has this injury.
So then I guess the other sideof that argument is there's
still a valuable person, so youdon't count them out just

(22:01):
because they can't hold themicrophone and interact with the
people.

Jay Franze (22:05):
In a case like this.
I think it's good.
It allows him to connect withhis fans and having other
musicians up there singing songsand stuff, I think that's a
good thing, especially for him.

He deserves it at this point in his career.
And I can't remember if it wasTrey Walker or James Dupree, but
I think it's Trey Walker.
I meant Clay Walker.
I think that it's Clay Walker,that they've been family friends
for a long time, so this is notsomething really just like out
of the blue.
They have a connection, soshould turn out pretty good, I
would think.

Jay Franze (22:34):
Clay Walker was here in town just a little while ago
and Jason Hale was there withKyle Fields.
They were opening up so I gotto go to that show.

Oh, that's nice.
When was that?

Jay Franze (22:46):
It was about six months to a year ago.

Oh, okay, I thought it was during the show,
because we've only been doingthis since January, and I was
like, dude, you went and sawcool music and didn't tell me
about it.

Tony Scott (22:58):
Hmm.

Because we've established we're friends.

Jay Franze (23:02):
Did we ever decide if that was going to be the case
?
We said we would ride out therest of that episode.
I don't remember making thedecision.

George.

Jay Franze (23:10):
Caden is Tiffany a friend.

Yes, we don't even.
Yes, we don't even need to askno.

Jay Franze (23:16):
I think a little confirmation would make me feel
a little bit better.
When a woman states something,it's facts now, trust me, I'm
married, I know how that works,okay.

Well, speaking of being married, cole Soendel and
his wife Courtney announcedthat they are expecting their
first child.
They posted the test and asonogram, and this is
immediately making me think ofthat his life is over.

Jay Franze (23:48):
No Life as he knows it will now be over.

No, no, it's going to be amazing, but
somebody I know took a pregnancytest and they were telling
their family that they werepregnant and so they put the
test in the cake and the peoplecut into the cake and they were
like, is that the actual testyou took?

(24:11):
And the mom was like, yeah, andthen they were like, but you
didn't like wrap it up oranything.
Yes, so I think that they justdiscarded that piece of cake but
if it was me, I'd have a hardtime with the whole cake then
discarded that piece of cake.

Jay Franze (24:26):
But if it was me, I'd have a hard time with the
whole cake, then caden saysyou're all right am I, yeah, I,
I passed the bill.

Oh, he's saying, at least he recognizes that
you're always right right.
He's not saying I'm all rightor I.
He's saying that I was alwaysyour all right.

Jay Franze (24:42):
I figure, if he's siding with you, then he
probably thinks you're all right.

Yeah, true Okay.

Jay Franze (24:49):
True statement.

Fair enough, true story.
True story, okay.
Do you remember, oh my gosh,the Super Bowl and we got to
watch Kendrick Lamar and SZAsing together.

Jay Franze (25:01):
Well, their collaboration.
What is this thing you call theSuper?

Tony Scott (25:03):
Bowl.

They take a.
Anyway, they collaborated andproduced a song called Luther
and it has reached the numberone spot in the Billboard Hot
100 for the week of March 1st.
So it's slightly old newsbecause March 1st, but I thought

(25:25):
that was interesting, Not toofar after Super Bowl.

Jay Franze (25:28):
Hold on.
George says yes, she's my bestfriend when I'm in this chair.

Tony Scott (25:34):

This is too much effort.
This is too much effort, thisis too much.

Tony Scott (26:52):
There's so much stress.

Taylor Swift's.

Nobody wants to hear these sound effects anymore.
Wait, wait, wait, we've gotnews.
We've got news fresh off thewire, caden says that I'm his
best friend, so that kind ofoutweighs things.

I mean, you have history, it evens things out.
It doesn't outweigh anything,but it evens it out, it evens it
out.
Now we both have a best friend,yeah, yeah.
So I got George, you got Cadenin your court.
Well, that's all I have forinteresting news.
I am very excited they listed awhole bunch of artists that are

(28:00):
going to be performing for theour I heart radio music Awards,
and it was a lot of people Iwould like to see actually.
So I might tune into it, mightactually give it a shot, because
, okay, I'm foolish to thinkthat it hasn't gotten political
yet, but it doesn't feelpolitical yet well, don't worry
about yeah, right, right, giveit a couple more years.

Jay Franze (28:15):
Before we leave the topic of news, can we just
briefly discuss CarrieUnderwood's American Idol debut?

yes, oh god did I love it so you're a fan in, I'm
in for this season.
I, I'm in, okay, yeah.

Jay Franze (28:34):
I enjoyed it.
I did.

Tony Scott (28:36):
Yes.

Jay Franze (28:37):
I liked seeing her personality come out.
I liked seeing her get up andsing with contestants and stuff.

I loved seeing that she really is Jukebox.
Carrie yeah, she could singalong to every single song that
came on, even like the reallyhard rock.
I was like, oh my gosh, asideof Carrie I never knew existed,
so that was cool.
And then seeing her with thatlittle boy, that was super sweet
.
And even Luke Bryan with thelittle boy.

Jay Franze (29:05):
Yeah, no, it was a great job.
They did good.
I really appreciate it.

And I thought it was really cool how Lionel
Richie pulled up Patti LaBelleto sing with that lady and then
she got to go sing the nationalanthem and I need to read up on
what these platinum passes arebecause I don't remember them
from the past.
But she went out, she sang thenational anthem and then they
gave her a platinum pass andthen they said in this next

(29:30):
episode they're going to do itagain and I was like what?
Okay?

Jay Franze (29:35):
He just got her to the front of the line, Right.
That's what I'm thinking.

Yeah, at Disney.
Okay, well, she gets to meetMickey.

Jay Franze (29:42):
George says she cried.
He didn't think she would.

She was soft like I thought she would be.
I don't remember her saying noto anybody.

Jay Franze (29:51):
Huh.

I remember her wavering on a couple, remember
her saying no to anybody.
I remember her wavering on acouple, but and then I know I
sent you a couple of people thatI was so impressed with.
Oh so, impressed with, and oneof them was the guy that made
her cry, the guy that sang abouthis teacher's um son that has
passed yeah, I, I was almostcrying before they showed

(30:14):
anybody else crying and I waslike, oh, this kid's a real deal
, because I was already gettingchoked up and I was like, oh my
gosh, yeah, yeah, traces of you,something like that.

Jay Franze (30:23):
I think that's what it was.
That's exactly it yeah, allright folks, let's do it, let's
move on unless you got more tosay.
Did you have more to say?
I don't want to cut you offnope, oh, I will.

Well, I'll throw this you already said no I know,
I know I take it back, okay.
So we were sitting there on thecouch and my husband ended up
watching it with me and he has athing for big lips, right and I
was like I don't know.
She got a lot of filler inthose lips and he didn't really
say anything.
And I was, like you, like thosefull lips, but I thought it was

(30:58):
just a little bit too much.
You're a big fan of the fulllips too.
No, no.

Jay Franze (31:04):
Not at all.
I don't understand why peopledo that to themselves.

Yeah, it's just a little too much.
And I think the problem is youdo a little bit and it's like,
oh, they look inflated again orthey look normal again or
whatever, and then the next timethe person talks you into just
a little bit more and a littlebit more.
I have a friend right now andshe's gone a little too far.
You know, there's somethingabout aging gracefully, yeah,

(31:30):
and you can tell when she getsher lips filled like, oh, you
just went and did that.
Yes, All right, yes.

Jay Franze (31:42):
Moving on to the question of the day.
All right If you are out there,if you're still with us, if
you're hanging on, if you'd liketo put some comments in there,
we would love to read them off.
Question of the day Name amusician that you wish was still
alive I like the caveat thatyou would watch them on hologram
.

Who do you want to see on hologram?
I think it's our science centernearby.
They're doing a michael jacksonhologram and I'm like really
people are gonna go pay money tosee this hologram of this
person, but I guess it's just amonkey yeah, I think it's just a

(32:24):
little wrong.

Jay Franze (32:25):
His chimp, whatever the hell.
He had bubbles to see bubbles.
I think it was a stripper namedBubbles.

Well, with whatever he had going on in his
house, he might have had Bubblesthere.

Jay Franze (32:41):
He may have had Bubbles.
Yeah, all right, I'm going togo ahead and kick it off.
To me, being from Boston, theband Boston with the singer Brad
Delp, not only was he amazingin that band, he had one of the
most unique and best voices, Ithink, in rock music.

Okay, Well, I wrote down Karen Carpenter you
know that I just bought herrecord and she is clocked as one
of the purest voices in history, and I believe that and I like
her music and so I would like tohear her again not on hologram,

(33:23):
though because not as ahologram like somebody.

Jay Franze (33:30):
If they like alive for one more day that you can go
see them play.
Unless we can can say live intheir prime is fine, I don't
want to see all this.

I mean, Karen Carpenter might be a little bit
of a dud.

Jay Franze (33:42):
All right.

Might be a little lackluster.

Jay Franze (33:45):
George says how about Buddy Holly?

I thought about that too, that would be fair.

Jay Franze (33:50):
I thought about that too.
Fair enough?

I think all those guys because, yes, before my
time.
It's kind of like I say, though, like I feel like I've said
this maybe as a broken record,but you know, just missing the
time when there were like fancrazes.
You know, like you just youdidn't miss it, you got taylor
swift right now I know, I knowthat's what you always say too
we're broken records, but I dothink that there's something to

(34:18):
be said for that.
Like you know, like it just itwasn't as easy to travel and
everything wasn't as accessibleas it is now and it was so much
more of a treat, and you knowjust all the things.
So I was thinking about thoseguys, because I love that movie,
la bomba yeah, I remember thatabsolutely.

Jay Franze (34:37):
Christina says she agrees with brad delp.
Wendy also agrees with braddelp.
There you go.

Are they from boston as well?
These ladies, I don't know.
We need to know where you guysare from.
Come on.

Jay Franze (34:50):
Wendy, chime in and let us know.
All right, I think it's MillieM-I-L-L-I.
Yeah, millie, she says Janie.
Lane, I don't know.
I'm waiting for the blanknessto go over your face right now.

The band Warrant.
I've heard of it.

Jay Franze (35:15):
I remember when I was in Orlando Jamie Lane lived
in Orlando and they wouldperform in the street festivals
in Orlando how cool yeah you gotto live a little bit of that
like with your little Matchbox20 thing and they were also
Orlando.
Now that's one of the mostunique voices there is is Rob
Thomas.

I know you kind of wanted to duel it out last
time.

Jay Franze (35:39):
I know, I'm saying, he really does have a unique
voice.

I was thinking it's not a singer, but we could
add Trump to that.

Jay Franze (35:45):
Add Trump to what.

Our most distinctive voices list.

Jay Franze (35:51):
I don't know.
Let's see Trump.
Where are you, trump?
I'm pressing buttons.
Let's see Trump.
Where are you, trump?
I'm pressing buttons.
Nothing's happening.

Guess guess.

Tony Scott (35:59):
Tiffany, you're fired.

Jay Franze (36:03):
It's fairly unique.

I think that you hear it anywhere.

Jay Franze (36:07):
I think it's the cadence of his voice that makes
him unique.

Yeah, I don't know.
Sometimes I like to watchpeople speak and he's a person I
like to watch speak.

Jay Franze (36:16):
He's very animated.

It's like his little mouth and how his teeth
move or something.
His teeth don't move, but Imean, you know what I'm saying.

Jay Franze (36:28):
How his mouth moves when he speaks.
He forgave little hand guy.
Anyways, we're not a politicalshow and we're not picking sides
, we're just pointing outobservations.

Tony Scott (36:45):
But if you do have any hate mail, just send that to
jayfrancycom, there you go.

Jay Franze (36:53):
Tony says Randy Rhodes, that is a good one.
Do you know, randy Rhodes,you're going to say no, huh, you
really do deserve to be fired,Tiffany you're fired.
Thank you, AI Trump.
Since Tiffany gets fired sooften, I think Jay needs to be
my best friend.

Thank you George?
No, George, we're alreadybreaking up.

Jay Franze (37:18):
I've already lost my , my friendship cred.
I just want to point out thoughI wasn't first, so yeah.
I do like to be first.

Tony Scott (37:29):
Wait, who is that?

Jay Franze (37:29):
person Randy Rhoads.
Randy Rhoads was the guitarplayer for Ozzy Osbourne.
Person randy rhodes.
Randy rhodes was the guitarplayer for ozzy osbourne.
Oh, he was the one that didcrazy train.
Blizzard of oz was the name ofthe album oh funny he was very,
very young and very, verytalented and died way too soon.

(37:51):
I believe it was any plane or ahelicopter crash, I don't know.
I don't know which one but itwas unfortunate nonetheless yeah
, okay.

Well, next on my list was Toby Keith.
I know he passed recently, butI was a really big fan of all of
his patriotic music.
Not to be political, but we dohave a lot of freedoms and it's
because of everybody who hassomebody in their family that
went and was braver than I am tofight for my freedoms and I

(38:22):
appreciate that very much and soI wish that that he was still
making that patriotic music andI think he did a lot for the
troops and kept their spirits upand just all kinds of things
for veterans, and I just thinkhe was a good advocate for
America.

Jay Franze (38:39):
I never met him.
Bob did one of his projects,but I never met him.
It was before my time.
But I hear he was nothing but anice guy.

Yeah, yep, so it's too bad.
I would like to hear him keepmaking music.
It makes me think of you, know,living in your radio.
How do you like me now?
Yeah and he's only in our radionow and I wish he was around
making music still yeah, he madeit right up to his last day too
.

Jay Franze (39:10):
Anyways, doug says ronnie james deal now.
To be fair.
He just said deal.
Anyways, doug says Ronnie JamesDio, now.
To be fair.
He just said Dio, ronnie.

James, you filled in all the blanks.

Jay Franze (39:21):
Ronnie James Dio.
So what are your thoughts onRonnie James Dio?
You didn't do your homework,did you?
We brought him up once before.
You were supposed to go backand research him.

Randy Dio, you starting to write, oh there you
go george conway twitty oh, mydad was a big fan of conway
twitty.
Well, I did.
Uh, how did that come up?
Oh, it was was from the episodethat's coming out tomorrow for

(39:58):
Memories with a B.
We went and saw some music andwe reviewed it, and Sinead
O'Connor was on there and shepassed away in 2023.
So not too long ago.
I was actually shocked to hearthat, but I liked her music.
I'd take more of it.

Jay Franze (40:15):
Would you?
She was never one of myfavorites.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (40:21):
Part of it is she went political.

Oh yeah.

Jay Franze (40:24):
I'm not a fan when people go political, unless
that's specifically what they do.

Yeah, yeah.

Jay Franze (40:32):
I agree with that.
I know they do.
Yeah, yeah, you know, I agreewith that.
I mean, I know, come and sing,because that's what we paid
money for and we didn't reallycome to hear your political I
mean again, I don't mind it ifthat's the angle you're taking,
if that's your approach, but,like you two, that was their
thing yeah, yeah.

Well, the people that I think of are right like
from 90s kind of, so that putsher right there.
That's, that's the music thatstands out to me or that I, you
know, remember connecting withor whatever is, because that's
what life was then.
You were more carefree and justkind of pay attention to your
music and stuff.
So I also heard yesterday, uh,the Cranberries zombie and I was

(41:20):
like, oh God, I just love whena voice like doesn't crack, but
it's like folk, ish, I love thatso much.

Jay Franze (41:28):
So I think that song that gets covered a lot.

Yeah, it does, and I I usually tend to like the
renditions.

Jay Franze (41:38):
Susan says Elvis.

Yeah, I would really have liked to, because I
think that he was putting out alot of great music, he had a
good following, he was goodlooking, he had the it factor,
like they say on American Idol,and so I think I would have
enjoyed all of his stuff, Idon't know from costumes to

(42:01):
showmanship, to actual voicetalent.
What do you think would youlike to see?

Jay Franze (42:07):
elvis.
George says yes, we need elvis.
Um, I would like to see elvis,but I would like to see him in
his prime, obviously.
Yeah, I know that again.
Before my time barely, butbefore my time.
I remember growing up and goingto my grandparents' house and
they had Elvis A-tracks andstuff at the house or albums.
So I know they were big fans,even though I never once heard

(42:30):
them play anything.
But they were big fans.
I would go for some Elvis.

Yeah, I think I would too.
I also had Whitney Houston onhere.

Jay Franze (42:43):
I like it.

Again, jay.

Jay Franze (42:47):
No, I'll give her all the credit in the world
she's one of the most talentedsingers ever, but I am not a fan
.

No, did you see her movie?

Jay Franze (42:56):
Which one Bodyguard?

No, there was a Whitney movie, like I don't know
, maybe in the last five yearsthat was kind of documenting her
.
I guess it was a biopic, aswe're saying now Biopic.

Jay Franze (43:09):
It's like you're a little late to the game, but
it's okay.

As the kids say, as the young kids, say as the
young 40-somethings say I swearI could not find where I was on
this list.

Jay Franze (43:29):
I'm going to be leaving a whole lot of people
out tonight and I'm just goingto say sorry, just sorry in
advance.
Are they coming in fast andfurious?
Yeah, I just it just went toofast and I passed it.
I'm sorry, sorry for anyone.
Jay francie, you're fired Iwish I could tonight.

(43:50):
All right, how about lemmy?

joe says lemmy I don't know, let me think, let me
kill mister.

Jay Franze (44:01):
I think it is.
He was the singer frommotorhead oh think of motorhead
as your bike week would probablybe an artist you would see at
your bike week, for sure got it.

It was funny she, I don't think I said who I
wanted to go see and she waslike are we gonna go see like
Marilyn Manson or somebody crazylike that?
She's like I still would havebeen in but and I was like no,
nobody, no, I don't rock thathard.

Jay Franze (44:29):
I saw Marilyn.
I don't consider him rockreally, but I saw him because he
opened up for Five Finger DeathPunch and he was better than I
expected him to be, but stillnot my thing.

Tony Scott (44:41):
Yeah.

Yeah, I don't think he would be my thing.

Jay Franze (44:47):
Maybe Brian says Ronnie James.
I'm assuming he means RonnieJames Dio as well.
See, let's get the full names.
They worked hard for thosenames.
See, let's get the full names.
They worked hard for thosenames.
No, they didn't.

Tony Scott (45:01):
But yes, Brian says Ronnie James.

Jay Franze (45:02):
Dio Neil says Phil, why not?
We need Google now.
I don't know who that is.

Phil, why not?

Jay Franze (45:10):
L-Y-N-O-T-T.
A lot of people saying Dio, dio, dio, dio, dio.

Irish musician, songwriter and poet, Co-founder,
lead vocalist, bassist, primarysongwriter for the hard rock.
Just a minute hard rock bandthin lizzy thin lizzy.

Jay Franze (45:31):
Okay, there you go.
Scott says jerry lee lewis, didyou like jerry lee lewis?

I don't know enough before my time it's
before both of our times.

Jay Franze (45:45):
and how do you not know who jerry lee lewis is
Before my Time?
It's before both of our times.

How do you not know who?

Jay Franze (45:48):
Jerry Lee Lewis is it's like on a lot of things.

Great Balls of Fire.
Oh, okay, I like that song.
I was going to say, if you cangive me a song, I can usually
tell you if I like him or not,but just on their own, I don't
know why it's not something thatsticks.
Lyrics stick with me and Idon't know songs, but not
artists.

Jay Franze (46:05):
He was before my time, but I did get a chance to
work on one of his projects, butobviously he was not around
this was a remaster.

How did you get that?
I want you to tell me moreabout that.

Jay Franze (46:24):
I was working for a producer in Nashville, a guy
named Richard Pittman, andRichard Pittman, he knew of this
rumor that there might be somerecordings stored in a barn in
Pennsylvania, so he spentseveral years trying to find out
if it was true.
And one day he was at a gasstation in Pennsylvania and he
talked to somebody and hementioned the rumor and they
said that it was true and theyknew who it was.

(46:47):
So they took him and he foundthe rumor and they said that it
was true and they knew who itwas.
So they took him and he foundthousands of old recordings in
this barn that had been therefor years.
So think heat, summer, winter,over and over again for years
and years and years.
Yeah, in metal tins he convincedthe now owner, which is the
family of this engineer, to sellhim those recordings.

(47:10):
So they didn't do it at first.
A year or two later they calledhim and made him an offer.
Richard accepted it, purchasedthe tapes and what happened was
it took a couple pickup trucksto haul out those recordings.

Tony Scott (47:26):
So that's how many tapes there were.

Jay Franze (47:27):
I mean there were thousands of them, and Richard
hired me to go in and master allof those recordings.
So there were a lot of very oldlive performances, so Dolly
Parton, jerry Lee Lewis, johnnyCash.

How cool.

Jay Franze (47:47):
So it was a big deal .
They did a huge write-up in theBoston Globe and I got to go on
a radio tour around the countrytalking about it.
It was very fun and Richardmade a deal with the Hall of
Fame to donate those recordingsand at one point because the
project wasn't finished yetbeing mastered, because it was
thousands of tapes- that theywanted to put me in one of the

(48:10):
glass rooms and use me as anexhibit as I finished mastering
those recordings that you couldwatch me do it through the glass
.
But it never went through.
We never closed the deal onthat.

Wow, how cool is that.

Jay Franze (48:32):
So there you go.
What did they do with themafter you remastered them?
I didn't keep up with it.
My understanding was they weregonna turn them all into digital
recordings, put them out, youknow, as singles, uh-huh but, I
don't know if they ever did.
A lot of those recordings werehard to recover period, because
tape when it gets hot it stickstogether yeah so we had to bake
tape.
We had to buy a special tapemachine.

(48:52):
That was the tape machine thatthey used at that time.
So my myself and my assistantswe had two assistants that
helped me with the project andwe went through and logged them,
you know, tried to them getthem to work again, constantly
cleaning the tape machines.
It was a big, big deal for awhile.

How long did that take?

Jay Franze (49:13):
A lot of my time.
It took a few years and luckily, if you want to talk about
timing, I'm not lucky for mymother.
My mother was very sick.
I was working in Nashville.
My mother needed a double lungtransplant so she needed
somebody to go home and takecare of her while she was
waiting for that transplant tocome through.
So I went home to Boston totake care of my mother.
That's when we got those tapes.

(49:34):
So those tapes held us throughthat entire time and that's also
when I got to record the AlisonPiccioni now Rocky Rose her
record.

Uh-huh.

Jay Franze (49:46):
So those two projects one fun production
project and then one extremelylong, tedious transfer and
mastering project.

Yeah.

Jay Franze (49:58):
But it kept us busy while I was in Boston taking
care of my mother.
So I cannot thank Richardenough for landing that project
when he did.

Wow, that's really cool Jay.

Jay Franze (50:09):
Very cool.

Well, um, oh, I did.
I had Janice Joplin.
That's another person I wouldlove to see her in person.
I oh, I bet she was amazing onstage and it was like a very uh,
not unsent, like an unpolicedconcert-ish kind of time, so

(50:34):
kind of the Wild West.
It wasn't really.

Jay Franze (50:37):
Powerful voice too, for sure.

Yeah, oh, and I love how raspy it is.
Oh, yeah, I would have beenthere in a heartbeat, I would
have drove in.
I would have drove in there,you would have drove in there.
Oh, I would have been there ina heartbeat, I would have drove
in, I would have drove in there,you would have drove in there.

got a bad rap for nobodyrecognizing any of the movies or
things that were in it that'swhat happens when politics get
involved that's what happenswhen bodies start slapping go
ahead.

That's what happens when people start
digging into their deep pocketsall right pay things off.
so yeah, march 13th, we arefinally having astronauts go up
and save our people.
So it says there will be arescue mission from the Kennedy
Space Center here in Florida.
The mission will help bringback NASA astronauts Sunita

(53:41):
Williams and Barry Wilmore afterthey got stranded in space due
to a technical issue with BoeingStarliner.
So I know Elon Musk's ship iswhat's going or spaceship, I
should say, I don't know, forsome reason it is spaceship.
But when I said just ship, itfelt like a boat.
So, anyways, his spaceship isgoing to go up and they're going

(54:02):
to finally rescue them, and Ican't imagine what that does to
your body being in zero gravityfor that long I mean, how long
has it been?

Jay Franze (54:11):
what was the total time?

Tony Scott (54:14):
I don't know tiffany , you're fired, goodbye it's
been months.

Let's see when they got stranded all right.

Jay Franze (54:24):
George says nine months, you don't have to look
it up anymore.

Oh God.

Jay Franze (54:28):
Nine months Long time, it's been a long time.

I remember they were going to try to rescue them
shortly after, and I thinkweather played into it and so
they had to cancel it and thenit got pushed off a long way.
Okay, I am really excited totalk about this next story.
Do you remember the Octomom?

Jay Franze (54:50):
Yes, you know what I do?
Remember that.
There you go, don't tell methere's any more.

So I'm going to give you the backstory.
In 2009, the world wasintroduced to Nadia Solman, a
single mom of six who gave birthto eight living children at one
time via in vitro fertilization.
The public fascination in thewoman dubbed Octomon Octomom
quickly became vicious andjudgmental.

Jay Franze (55:17):
I just want to say Octomon.
That sounds like a superherotype character.

A villain Octomon , Okay sorry, octomom octomom.
Okay.
So, uh, soulman had no job andrelied on the government
assistance, so she was declaredirresponsible, unfit to raise 14
kids.
She did capitalize on theattention with her book deal,
tabloid deals and paid tvappearances, but within a few

(55:44):
years she'd declared bankruptcy,turned to pornography to earn
money and was accused of welfarefraud by the state of
California.
A new six-part series calledConfessions of Octomom looks
back at that turbulent time andhow Suleman and her 14 kids made
it through.
It debuts Wednesday on Lifetimeand streams on Hulu Live 14

(56:14):
kids all by yourself, no, no.
And she got eight from in invitro, and I didn't think that
they would let eight viablebirths go like that.
I thought that they would likeselectively remove an egg or
whatever fertilized egg.

Jay Franze (56:27):
I don't know.
It seems like wait.
I mean, I have three kids.
Three kids and I have to takeevery day, one at a time.
I can't imagine having 14 kids.

I know I have three kids and the two older
boys are off doing their ownthing, living their life, and I
can barely keep up with one kidin two sports, I mean.
And those kids no opportunity?
Like I don't know, I don't know.
She's playing into thestereotype, unfortunately.

Jay Franze (56:57):
So it'll be interesting to see confessions
of an octomom for her to land ashow and pay for the kids yeah,
I don't know.

It'll be interesting.
And how did she take?
I mean, I guess she used theother six kids to help her with
the eight new kids, I don't know.
Oh, that's a house I don't wantto live in it's not the house
that was built.

Jay Franze (57:20):
What was?
What's that song?

the house, that something built the house that
built me, the house that builtme it's a house that built me,
the house that built me.
It's the house that built mybaseball team, right Okay.

Jay Franze (57:32):
We're going to pass on the Octomom program.

Oh, George is going to pass Too much time for
me, like not even give itratings.
Yeah, I don't know if I'll catchit live, but I'm probably going
to watch it.
That's the kind of crap TV Iwatch.
Nice, it reminds you life isgood, okay.
March 9th a couple days ago,all elite wrestling aew held its

(57:55):
annual pay-per-view eventrevolution at the cryptocom
arena in los angeles.
Everything's in los angeles,cheapers.
The main event featured youguys.
Please don't get mad at me if Ibutcher these names.
Jon Moxley, successfullydefending his AEW World
Championship in a three-waymatch against Cope and Christian

(58:18):
Cage.
Do you know anything aboutwrestling?
No, no, so I wonder if Cope andChristian are on the same team,
because maybe they fought themseparately.
Who knows, who knows?
Well, I thought it wasinteresting because my dad was
always into WWE wrestling and soit kind of caught my eye.
And I know that a couple ofyears ago, probably six years

(58:39):
ago, was the last time I went toa paid boxing match, so it kind
of made me think of those twoevents that I whatever.

Jay Franze (58:47):
UFC.

I like the ufc yes, yes, that was the paid one
that I watched.
Yep was ufc.
What do you like about ufc?

Jay Franze (58:56):
well, it's been a long time, but I've been
watching it since the verybeginning, dana white another
bostonian, by the way.
Throw that out there whenever Ican.
But I've had a chance to meet alot of them through the years.
My brother's good friends witha lot of the people from UFC.
When Frank Mir was theheavyweight champion of the
world, I got to meet him.
I just appreciate their talent.
Like everything else, boxing isgood, karate is good,

(59:19):
kickboxing is good, wrestling isgood but when you put it all
together, I think it's just morefun for us to watch it for sure
altogether.

I think it's just more fun for us to watch it,
for sure.
Yeah, well, I used to likewatching wwe with my dad until
somebody whatever you know,probably some kid at school told
me that it was all like actedout and I was like, wait what?

Jay Franze (59:39):
and that's when the illusion died for me that's what
I don't like about that, but Ihad a good friend of mine
growing up who still loves it tothis day.
I just don't get it.

There is actually a following for it.
You know, like, do you listento a million podcasts?
Because I listen to a millionpodcasts, and then you have to
try to remember what you werelistening to.

Jay Franze (01:00:04):
It is sad at this point, but I have long commutes
so I listen to podcasts all daylong all day I run out of them
sometimes oh gosh, I havedecided I I'm putting my stake
in the sand.

Tiffany Mason (01:00:20):
I'm going to be more disciplined.
I follow like 20 shows, but Ionly listen to like I don't know
six or eight of them.
And so I have it now where I'mgoing to test myself or commit
myself.
Commit myself to the insaneasylum you do need to be
committed.
But I'm going to listen to theepisodes as they come up in

(01:00:40):
queue.
I'm not going to like choosewhat show I'm going to watch or
listen to.
I could not do that what showI'm going to watch or listen to.
I could not do this, so I'mgoing to have some serious
self-discipline.
I only follow, like I said,like 20, 20, 25 shows maybe.
So I feel like oh, I definitelyhave a disciplined amount.
I go through from time to timeand I clean it up and I'm like,

(01:01:01):
okay, I'm not really listeningto this one.
Or sometimes I meet someone andI'm like, usually what I
honestly do is I follow the showso I don't forget and it'll
just pop up in my queue, but ifI don't like it then I unfollow.
So I've got them in there and Igenuinely I like listening to
my entertainment podcasts a lotand my ones to like learn and be

(01:01:25):
a better person and be a betterbusiness person.
You know, I'm like, so I'mdisciplining myself to get don't
really want to get better funones, I gotta listen to.
The other ones, I do want to, Ido want to.
So this will force me if Idon't jump around, jump around,
jump around, get up, get up.

I used to used to listen to all the business one
and the self-improvement ones.
First I was into those first,but I think after a while they
all start sounding the same.

Yeah, and I think that's probably what happened
with me as well.
So I've found a few podcaststhat are just sheer
entertainment, including the jayfrancy show not including that.

Better be at the top .
So I'm saying I mean now you'rein full rotation, okay, sorry,
bro I've got them all brokendown into categories, but my
podcast about podcastingcategory is probably get 20
something shows in it by itself.

It's ridiculous what app do you use to listen to
podcasts that you can sort them?

I use just the apple app.
I've tried a couple others.
I have probably a ton of themon my.

I've got a ton of apps on my categories oh yeah,
I sort them all the time.

I've got podcasts about podcasting, I've got
entertainment.
I've got music.

You saying, oh yeah, I sort them.
All the time it sounds likeyou're just like okay, it's time
to sort my podcast again.

Yeah, fine.
Yes, I'm a very anal andorganized person.
I hear it from my wife, I'llhear it from you.
I am anal, I got it.
Not that I prefer anal oranything.

Jay, I was laughing, trying to disguise
where I was trying to take aleft turn.
I had my blinker on, I wastrying to take left, but your
car was there no, I heard it allday long.

People bust on me about it at work, today too well
, that's probably what makes youan amazing engineer, though
well, I'll take the compliment.
But yeah, I think organizationis definitely a big plus when it
comes to engineering andproduction and all that stuff
yeah, especially when it comesto file management and all the
fun things we should talk.

I'm not very good at file management.

Unfortunately, I'm very good, very anal, anal again
.

Okay, guys, if you have a cocktail every time.
You heard the word anal take asip that would be so wrong.

What kind of drinking game is that?

Take a swig from your token hole token hole or
your smoking hole.

I said um glory hole last week and I get comments
about it.
The mail came in folks.
What do you mean, glory hole?
I'm like it was saturday nightlive.
People were talking about thesmoking hole in the token hole.

Yeah, sorry you know they were talking about
holes.
Well, speaking of speaking ofholes this is not really
speaking of holes, but I wastrying to make a cool segue, but
there's whoever it is I'm,they're bound to have holes.
Well, it's scientists, and theyhave discovered a new part of

(01:04:53):
the immune system thatresearchers have identified a
previously unknown component ofthe immune system, potentially
leading to advancements inmedical treatments, which I
thought was good because youknow, thanks, george.
George says right now I'm hisfavorite.
It makes sense.

It makes sense.

I don't know why you tried to go back on it,
though, George.
That's not cool, so I'm excitedabout that.

Medical treatments advancement in medical
treatments would be very good.
I would really appreciate itright now.
That would be very helpful.

In allergy medicine.

Well, for me yeah, I was thinking more for my
daughter, but for me I'm like.

Yes, joe has.

I feel like I need to sneeze.

Jay has a case of the sniffles because Joe.
Yeah, joe, yeah, joe, tiffanyget fired, Jay aka Joe.
Has allergies attacking him, sohe is making beautiful elephant
sounds.
Although he's smart enough tohit the mute button, he's not

(01:06:02):
making you guys listen to it,like I did when I was not on my
A-game.

Apparently, I didn't know how to use the mute button
.
I feel like I'm crying, tiffany, you keep making me cry right
now.

It's a beautiful show.
You don't have to cry about it,though.

It makes me happy.
Happy tears.
I walked in my office today andI had tissues and someone says
what's with the tissues?
I said don't worry, they'rehappy tissues.

Tony Scott (01:06:24):
No.

What movie was it, george, help me out?
What movie was it when theysaid Are those happy tissues?
No, what movie was it, george,help me out.
What movie was it where theysaid are those happy tissues or
sad tissues?
Tell us your next story andI'll Google it.

Well, my next story is actually what I was
doing before I came on thepodcast.
So we have the TPC.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall With Average Joe.
So we have the tpc forgettingsarah marshall forgetting sarah
marshall, with average joe thesinger in the, the hotel lounge.
Okay, so do you know?
Actually fun fact, fun fact tono tell.
When you cannot recallsomething, you have all these
little neurons that go throughall the files in your brain and

(01:07:09):
they're just looking, looking,looking, they're looking, and so
you go on to like making dinner, driving home from work,
whatever you're doing, playingwith your kids, and then you
know, like two o'clock in themorning, you go to the bathroom
like oh my gosh, saving SarahMarshall, because your brain has
been working that entire timeto find that answer, like in the
background, you know, like whenyou have screens that you can't

(01:07:30):
see on your computer screen butthey're still working in the
background.
It's like that.

So your little neurons are you are very
informative this evening.

Thank, you call me dr tiffany or no, this show
has not become a medical show.

Last week it was culinary.
And what else did we do lastweek?
Oh, purses.

Handbags.

Yes, jay shared his infinity for leather bags,
for leather purses.

It doesn't have to be leather, but Quality Quality.

You said quality Quality bags.
Anyways, where you could bringa quality bag would be the TPC,
because it's where all thegolfers are going to be for this
next week, until Sunday, and Iguess that they stay there
playing, even if it gets delayedinto Monday.
I guess it's not 100% for suredone on Sunday, but if there's

(01:08:21):
rain or slow play, they'll gointo Monday.
Anyway, slow play and so slowplay.
So they invited the FloridaCoffee Peddler out to serve
their volunteers so our Floridacoffee peddler was that is one
of our little side hustles.
We serve the great folks of theJacksonville area some pretty

(01:08:44):
stellar coffee and they asked usto come out and serve their
volunteers.
So it's a foot in the door andshow what we got and what we can
do.
And maybe we'll be on thecourse next year, who knows?

can I tell you a little story about coffee?

little diddy story.

that means absolutely nothing, but I've
never been a coffee fan, neverliked it.
My parents loved it.
I have never liked the taste ofcoffee or tea, but coffee in
this instance.

I'm going to interrupt you.
So ever since I got sick, liketwo weeks ago, I feel like I
don't like coffee.
That's probably not good forbusiness.
I know everything else is fine,Everything else tastes fine,
but for some reason I make a cupof coffee every morning and I'm
like it just doesn't do it forme.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm very sad about it becauseI've always been a coffee lover.

(01:09:36):
Please continue.

I have not Never been a coffee lover, probably
never will be.
But my daughter, my eldestdaughter, 14, about to turn 15.
She has introduced me to thisthing they call the McDonald's
app, and she likes the coffee.
Yes, but the McDonald's app, Ihave gotten used to using it
because I'm a sucker for beinggamified on my phone.

(01:10:00):
Yes, and McDonald's knows whatthey're doing.
They're playing games with meand they're making me keep going
back to that stupid app.
But I wanted a milkshake theother day.
So I was at McDonald's and Iordered my thing and I said I'm
going to see if I have, you know, some sort of reward points and
get this milkshake.
And no, you can't get amilkshake with your rewards

(01:10:20):
point, which is dumb.
If I have rewards points, Ishould be able to use them on
whatever I want.
Yes, take a certain amount ofpoints away from me.
I get it.
No, yeah, but they did have thefrappes on there.

Okay.

So I decided to get one.
I was very hesitant, but Idecided to get one.

And Are we having coffee talk?

Coffee talk Usually conversation over coffee, but
this is a conversation aboutcoffee.
Yes, however, I tried it.
It wasn't bad.
It's still not my favoritething in the world, but it was
tolerable and I ended up gettingone the next time.
I went to McDonald's as well,because I wanted the milkshake
again and, of course, can't doit.
So I got the frappe.
Tastes enough like a milkshakethat I was okay with it, even

(01:11:03):
though it was coffee flavored.

It tasted enough like a milkshake that I was okay
with it, even though it wascoffee-flavored, but still, I
think it's really funny whenpeople come to the cart, the
coffee peddler, and they say Iwant a latte, but I want it
really sweet because I don'tlike the taste of coffee, what.
Or I have people come up sonormally I put three pumps of

(01:11:25):
syrup in a drink and somebodysaid, oh, I don't like my coffee
very sweet.
And I said, okay, well, Inormally do three pumps, is that
okay?
And I said oh, yeah.
And then they said you have anyregular sugar too?
And I was like I do.
And they said, okay, yeah, I'lltake some regular sugar too.
And I said, okay, how manywould you like?
And they added four packs and Iwas like, um, okay, very sweet

(01:11:50):
On the borderline of very.
So you want to get diabetestoday.

That's in my future.
I'm just throwing that there.

Well, yeah, if you're eating drawers full of
Kit Kats and Twizzlers and SourPatch Kids, I ate a whole
handful of Kit Kats today.
I looked through that drawerand I was picking out Kit Kats.
All right, move on to yourstories.

Leave me alone with my.
George says he likes his coffeeblack.

I do too.
If I drink coffee at the house,I always have black coffee.
If I'm at Coffee Peder servingpeople, I do mix.
If I drink coffee at the house,I always have black coffee.
If I'm at coffee peddlerserving people, I do mix it up.
I do all kinds of concoctionsand I love them all, and I
always do with half and half,because it makes it nice and
creamy, so I feel like creamycoffee.
Okay, tpc, it is a huge, huge,huge.

(01:12:45):
Like the town shuts down forthis, like every I feel like
every town has that one event.
This is the one event and itused to be in, I think, june,
and it was brutal hot, so nowthey moved it back to March.
It's lots more tolerable.
Today it was like 76, breezy,sun out, 100%, no clouds in the

(01:13:07):
sky.
It was awesome and so I'mexcited to be out there serving.
I'm going to have the sameweather and I'm very excited
about that.
They do a thing last night theydid it where it's a thank you
to veterans and veterans, Ibelieve, get in free.
But then they also have a showand Jordan Davis was there
performing for everybody.
We went two years ago, I can'tremember who was there.

(01:13:28):
The bigger news story for uswas Trevor Lawrence was there,
and that was when we were havingan awesome season with the Jags

watching the same concert thatwe were at.

fun doing that.

(01:16:15):
behind it, so it was a goodconversation.

Good, I know he shared a little bit with us last
