What happens when you mix high-potency mushroom gummies, helicopter dangling, and forgotten hits from the 1970s? The latest MT Alternative Podcast delivers all that and more as Mike and Tom embark on another mind-altering journey through random topics and musical nostalgia.
The hosts kick things off with their ongoing "scientific experiment" involving mushroom gummies, creating the perfect mindset for their signature tangential conversations. They quickly dive into a passionate rant about Tesla protesters who destroy the very electric vehicles they once celebrated – a perfect example of what Mike and Tom see as leftist hypocrisy in action. As they note, "The irony or the hypocrisy, or both... you already paid for it, you stupid ass."
The highlight of this episode comes in two parts. First, Troy joins for an interview where he details his long-standing feud with Squeak – a rivalry that began when Squeak catapulted "an ungodly amount of marshmallow fluff and rainbow sprinkles" onto Troy's beloved 1995 Civic. The animosity between them has now reached legendary status, with Troy declaring, "Some grudges are bigger than us."
Later, the podcast showcases five forgotten gems from 1970, including Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows" and Marmalade's "Reflections of My Life." Tom and Mike's genuine enthusiasm for these tracks reveals their deep appreciation for an era when "songs told stories" instead of today's "gibberish." Their musical journey is punctuated by personal memories that demonstrate how these songs became interwoven with their life experiences.
The madness reaches its peak when Squeak himself appears, recounting his harrowing journey to the studio – dangling from a rope beneath Troy's helicopter after a mid-air mishap. His indignation at this "ride" provides some of the episode's most hilarious moments.
Whether you're a nostalgic music lover or simply enjoy listening to two friends ramble through whatever topics strike their fancy, this episode delivers the unfiltered, unpredictable entertainment that MT Alternative fans have come to expect. Join us again next time for forgotten hits from 1971!

Speaker 4 (11:17):
We've been watching, we watched.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
How do you have time for all this TV?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I watch a couple hours a night.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Oh crap man.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
We have a couple.
We don't really watch anythingelse.
Speaker 3 (11:28):

anyway, this outlast is thesepeople and this woman.
She's like evil because it's amillion dollars.
I mean my team's going to win amillion dollars.
I mean my team's going to win amillion dollars.
But you know, some of thesepeople that are out there are
just wonderful people, but thismoney has turned them and
they're out there stealingpeople's sleeping bags in
(11:55):
30-degree weather and they'reburning down their damn houses
in 30 degrees.
You know.
That doesn't sound like a fair.
No, it doesn't really at all.
I'm like why are they doingthat?
Because money changes people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Money does.
Money does, tom Stupid, moneydoes.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
That's where our government's at.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But anyway, yeah, pretty much there.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Back to the other great stuff that makes us happy.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Then another thing I'm happy about is the Board of
Education kind of gettingknocked down a little bit?
Yes, step down.
Where's that money going?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
for real.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, excuse me, funny, since Carter put that in
in 1979 for, of course, favorsfor unions, but anyways, test
scores.
Kids graduate and have gonedown?
Oh, I shouldn't say graduate,because they'll just let anybody
pass.
Now, oh, we got to make it fair.
Well, that's.
And have gone down?
Oh, I shouldn't say graduate,because there's just let anybody
pass.
Now, oh, we got to make it fair.
Well, that's not how schoolworks.
Not at all the stories you hearabout kids that get their first
(12:53):
job, can't handle money becausethey're so used to that common
core math or whatever the hellthat crap was.
One plus one is two.
I don't have to all this figureout shit.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Exactly, it just is, but it's just stupid, I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
that's why I do believe in my heart of hearts
that it should be in the states,because each state has their
own agenda, whatever you want tocall it.
Exactly, let them do theirteaching their way.
Let's go back to reading mathscience history.
You know history is fine.
You can teach all that historystuff.
That is history.
I don't care.
You know the slaves.
Yes, you can go through allthat.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
But let's get real about everything.
Let me ask you this how wouldyour hate progress?
The hate that you carry in yourheart would progress, if we
didn't tell history?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That's what's pushing your hate, you idiots that's
what's pushing your hate.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You idiots.
You, you get rid of history.
All you do is repeat yourselfover and over and over again.
Yep, you never learn.
Let's get rid of this, let'sget rid of that bullshit.
But yeah, department ofeducation with that weinberg,
whatever freaking name is there,lady, just I'm doing it for the
kids.
No, you're not, lady, you getall this money and it.
I guess they compared us tolike New York, 40th in the
(14:07):
nation or whatever it was ineducation.
It's like where's all thatmoney going?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Where is it going the ?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
extra money is not there.
You look at other countries howgood they are and they spend
only so much for a child.
We're spending an average of$36,000, $37,000 a child a year,
a year.
Other places there's somestates, that was it.
I can't remember and I shouldhave remembered this, but did
you ten thousand dollars a kid?
I don't think.
I don't know if I sent that toyou, tom.
(14:37):
There's other things I havesent, but I don't believe that
was one of them.
Speaker 4 (14:40):
I don't know, but I remember that though yeah
specifically.
So maybe, but you know, like Isaid, again.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
Guys, it's us.
You know research, yeah, notour best tool.
We try to remember, but shegets in the way.
We're not trying to bedishonest probably the research
again, do your own research.
Yes, I have.
You have it well.
Yeah, it's going quite well forme too right now.
(15:06):
So far so good, this beverages,frosty beverages, going down
quite nice, you have a frostyone.

Speaker 4 (15:19):
Oh.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
My beer stays chill.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
Oh chill.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You know we don't like sweaty beer.
Yeah, nobody likes a sweatybeer Fuck that it's gross.
Or well, yeah, anything else.
So Anyway, march Madness.
Oh, okay, let's talk aboutKansas.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
They lost.
Oh why they had less pointsthan the other team.
Oh, that's sad.
Well, it certainly was.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
They got knocked out pretty damn early.
Now North Carolina's knockedout also, really.
Yeah, they beat last night bywho?
Arkansas?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
No, that was Kansas.
Kansas got beat by Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well, well, let's look.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Well, kansas got beat by Arkansas.
Well, well, let's look.
Well, maybe in the second round, because Arkansas beat Kansas.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
No, no, no, no.
I mean I'm not arguing with you.
I don't think it was.
Let me just double check here.
Uconn won last night, so I kindof root for Sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
No problem, everybody's got their.
I was kind of hoping.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Bryant College was going to win last night, but no,
they played Michigan, and Idon't even know how that went,
so anyways, anyway, let me justgive this a.
Oh, I stand corrected, it wasOle Miss Tom that beat North
Carolina.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Ole Miss, ole Miss.
Yeah, because I watched theKansas Jayhawks get put out by
Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Did you?
Yeah, it was sad Sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah, it was sad, Sad .
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Not a good year for Kansas, right?
Yeah, it's been rough.
Oh well, what are you?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
going to do.
Well, okay, you can't lose athome 90% of the time and keep a
fan base.
It's not a good year.
That's all Tough.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That's all it's tough , it is.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Rebuild.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Anyways, what I want to do is let's get Troy in here,
because I want to hear hislittle venting.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
So we'll get that going, let's get him in and out
of here before the world findshim.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Hope you have something interesting.
I mean, Troy did bring Squeak'sass, so Squeak's got to be
around somewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Somewhere he's here.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He was supposed to get a ride with Troy, anyways,
anyways, folks, we got thistaped interview, so hope you
enjoy it and we'll be back Allright, folks, we're back with
Troy.
Hey, troy.
What's up, Troy?
What's going on bud?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Good to have you with us.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Hello guys, it's about time you asked me back,
considering you made me givethat runt a ride.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All right, Troy, let's cut to it.
What exactly is your beef withSqueak?
Where did all this tensionstart?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You know what that little runt did to me, mike?
He declared war, full-on crazywarfare.
You guys remember my car, right, my 95 Civic with the busted
taillight and that slight deathrattle when I hit 60.
A classic.
Well, apparently that carwasn't good enough for Squeak,
because one day I walk outsideand boom, there's my Civic
(18:20):
Covered, absolutely drenched inwhat can only be described as an
ungodly amount of marshmallowfluff and rainbow sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Holy shit, damn.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Oh, that's just the opening shot.
My friends Turns out Squeak hadengineered some kind of
miniature catapult and I'mtalking medieval level accuracy
and fired bucket loads of thestuff onto my car from the roof
of the convenience store downthe street.
I guess he thought it would befunny to turn my Civic into a
giant dessert, and the grandfinale was the giant melon to
(18:52):
the side of my car.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I could imagine the tension on that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, that catapult incident was pretty.
Uh, that would piss me off too.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, punking in the car.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, it doesn't do good at all.
Some people say Squeak's justmisunderstood.
Do you think there's any truthto that, or is he as annoying as
you make him sound, troy?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Look, I get it.
Some people think Squeak ismisunderstood, Like he's some
deep, complex soul just waitingfor the world to appreciate him.
But let's be real here.
He's not a tortured artist.
He's not a tortured artist.
He's a guy who chews with hismouth open, talks during movies
and once tried to fix thetoaster with a spoon
Misunderstood Maybe.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Annoying.
Definitely I stand by that.
I'm with Troy, I gotta say he'sannoying.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
He's an annoying little guy.
He's got that cute littlepossum.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Got a heart.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, sometimes he does.
For some reason, pip hangsaround with him.
I don't get it, but whatever,do you think the feud is
something that could be settled,or are we talking a lifelong
rivalry?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Look, I'm not saying it's impossible, but let's just
say Squeak and I havefundamental differences like oil
and water, cats and vacuumcleaners.
You know, we've tried to hashthings out before, but somehow
it always ends with Squeak,making some snide comment, and
then I respond and next thing,you know, we're back at square
(20:25):
one.
I mean, at this point it'spractically tradition.
If we suddenly got along,people would think something was
wrong with the universe,planets would fall out of orbit,
dogs would start meowing Chaos.
Hey, some grudges are biggerthan us.
Guys, I don't make the rules,wow.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Okay, that long oh, okay, wow geez, well I'm.
I'm just wondering if, if doeshe have all the friends that he
says he does, where you pick himup and you drive him here, fly
him here over the river andthrough the woods, like I said
the other day, but what is hisdeal?
(21:08):
I mean, fill us in.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, troy, what do you know?
I mean, we know little aboutSqueak.
I know very little I don't knowabout Tom.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
We tolerate him for Pip, actually Pip seems to be
level-headed.
Yeah, as can be.
God bless him for toleratingthat squeak, but hey, you can't
pick your friends, but you canpick your nose.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Can you think of a redeeming quality?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Troy, that Squeak might have, or is it all
downhill from here?
Oh, squeak definitely hasredeeming qualities, like that
time he opened a jar of pickleswithout spraining anything
Absolute hero.
Or how he's somehow survivedthis long, despite making every
conversation feel like alive-action disaster movie,
where the only plot twist is howfast people can escape the room
.
That's a talent, right.
And let's not forget his knackfor saying the absolute worst
(22:03):
thing at the exact wrong moment.
It's almost impressive, likewatching someone juggle flaming
swords poorly, but hey, at leasthe's consistent.
He's like that squeaky shoppingcartwheel.
You hate it, but after a whileit's kind of part of the
experience.
So yeah, redeeming qualities,totally.
(22:25):
Just, you know, buried underseveral layers of chaos, bad
timing and questionable lifechoices.
But hey, he once found that bagof chips on a road trip and you
better believe we're stillhearing about it.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Oh, good answer, Troy .
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Wasn't expecting that .
I wasn't either.
I got one question, One finalquestion for Troy Tom.
Okay, you were stuck on adesert island, Troy, and you
know you had to fight in a cagematch with him.
Who do you think would come outa winner?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
and you had to fight in a cage match with him.
Who do you?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
think would come out a winner.
Oh, that's easy Me, no question.
Look, squeak's scrappy.
I'll give him that.
But he's also easily distracted.
All I'd have to do is point ata coconut and say, hey, does
that look like it's shaped likeAbraham Lincoln?
And boom, he's off on a tangent, giving the coconut a full
character backstory.
(23:18):
Meanwhile, I've already won thematch.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Here's what I think Troy, oh yeah, and what's that?
Tom?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think you better watch out for Pip, because he's
somewhere close oh okay, youknow the old Cain and Abel match
.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah right, where'd he come from?
Tom?
You got any?
One last question for Troy.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Well, troy, I'm just wondering what it's like when
you bring him over to thatdaggum river, fly him every day
to work.
Do you bicker the whole way?
Does he try to backseat flyyour plane or helicopter?
Excuse me, I just wonder whatit all is about.
When you come.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Well, how do you think it went, Tom?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Wait a minute, Troy.
It was supposed to be just fromthe river.
Why are you going to his houseto pick him up?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Well, somehow that little bastard tricked me.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No, it was supposed to be across the river only Now.
Troy's telling us he's going tohis house to pick him up.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Well, here's the thing I thought he was Anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Wasn't it in the contract there?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
is no contract Tom.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
There was no contract with him, we just gave it to
him.
We felt bad for him Pitchingand whining.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You're living a hole, for goodness sake.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I think I put in a good word for you, the juice
feeds off.
So is it like bringing Squeakto the studio today.
Give us a little play-by-play.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
All right, guys, buckle up, you won't believe
this one.
So I'm coming in hot to thestudio today, right In my
helicopter.
Yeah, you know the usual, butapparently someone forgot to
mention to Squeak that he wasn'texactly on the flight plan
today.
I'm cruising along minding myown business when I look down
and I see Squeak running alongthe tarmac like he's in a damn
(25:01):
action movie.
No Uber, no rideshare, no,nothing, just Squeak, full
sprinting it towards me likehe's trying to break some sort
of speed record.
So, like any good friend, Idecide to help him out.
I lower the ladder and there heis yelling up at me talking
(25:22):
about how traffic's awful, anddon't get any ideas.
He's about halfway up theladder when suddenly, bam, he
trips.
And not just a little stumble,oh no, my friend.
And not just a little stumble,oh no, my friend.
Squeak, in all his glory, fallsout of my helicopter.
(25:44):
I'm talking full-on freefall.
It's like one of those momentsyou see in slow motion, except
instead of some heroic musicplaying, I'm screaming Squeak,
no.
But here's the kicker.
This man, this absolute lunatic, somehow manages to grab the
damn rope midair, like some kindof circus act gone wrong.
Now I've got Squeak danglingfrom the helicopter spinning
(26:06):
like a ragdoll, screaming thewhole time about how this wasn't
part of the plan.
And how does a guy end up inthese situations?
Meanwhile I'm just trying tokeep my cool, piloting this
thing like it's business asusual, but in the back of my
head I'm thinking how the helldid I get here?
Eventually I circle back aroundand there he is, hanging from
(26:27):
the rope like it's no big deal,still complaining that he could
have taken the bus.
But at least this was morescenic in the bus.
But at least this was morescenic.
So we finally land, squeak,still clinging to the rope and
me trying to pretend I didn'tjust witness the most ridiculous
thing ever.
And he gets off like it'sTuesday, says well, that was a
(26:49):
ride, and walks straight intothe studio.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well, that doesn't surprise me, Typical Squeak.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Anyways, traps whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Sure, it's been a pleasure.
We'll talk again and thanks forcoming in again, buddy.
Thanks again.
Bye now, mike.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Tom, this has been wild.
I got to get back to thehelicopter.
You know the usual Don't letthe fame get to your heads, all
right, but seriously, it'salways a pleasure.
I'll leave you two to clean upyour mess from this interview.
Catch you later.
Gentlemen, stay grounded, or,you know, not in my case.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
All right, that was interesting.
Yeah, well, troy had some goodpoints too.
Yeah, he did.
You know he's doing us a favoractually.
Yeah, he really is some goodpoints too.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah, he did you know he's doing us a favor actually.
Uh, yeah, let's wind him fromsqueak.
We hope, of course.
I guess up there in the air andall that sound and noise, you
don't hear him too much yeah,yeah, that's true, probably
mutes his little uh headset micand everything.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But uh, yeah, it was interesting and uh, all right,
tom.
So, uh, we discussed, we wantedto talk about music from the
70s.
We were going to do top 10songs from the 70s that were
popular, that people seem toforget about, right?
But we decided to break it downby a year in the 70s Exactly.
We're going to start off at1970.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
All right, so I guess the first song we're going to
do is by Edison Lighthouse LoveGrows, and we both loved that
song.
Yeah, it was a good song.
It was a good song.
I know the song.
You know the song.
Yep, your first memory of thesong, do you have any?
I know you got older brothersand sisters.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
It's just, I was really young when this one came
out.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
You were born in 67, so three years old I was seven.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I was three years old when this song came out, but
it's the time after.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Like when I was five to seven, when I was in
different parts.
I mean I had six older sisters,two older brothers, right right
, right, so you've got a lot ofdifferent musical interests
genres, and then a dad that wasfrom the South, so there's
country thrown in there.
It was amazing of everythingthat I got.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But this was a big staple on 70s radio back then,
you know.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, partridge family kind of deal.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, exactly that's what it reminds me of too.
But yeah, good song, good song.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, for back in the day, and we'll skip into this
part for a minute and just butyeah, good song, good song, good
song, yeah for back in the day.
But yes, I enjoy things.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And we'll skip into this part for a minute and just.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I just got to tell her that I love her
endlessly.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Because love grows where my rosemary grows.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Excellent, excellent song.
We both admit we like that one.
Yeah, that's good.
Excellent song.
We both admit we like that one.
Yeah, that's good.
All right, and let's move on toour next song that we picked
out.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Rolling right along.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We have Reflections of my Life by Marmalade
Marmalade I myself have notheard of it.
You have Yep.
I don't know why I haven'theard of it.
I'm surprised actually, becauseI've heard of Marmalade, I know
who they are and see honest, Ididn't know who it was.
Oh, you didn't know the name ofthe band, you just know the
(30:05):
song.
I just know the song.
That's usually how it goes withyou and I.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Well, in the backseat of a Fairlane 500, you hear all
kinds of music.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What are you doing in the backseat of a Fairlane?
Well, my brother-in-law and mysister had the babysit you.
Yeah, and I was in the back.
Oh, that's sad, not really.
I got to hear the cool music.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You got to hear cool music, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I didn't want to hear all that other crap up front.
I'll do anything.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
See now, like I said, I'm surprised I've heard a lot
of music from this one.
Just for some reason skipped me.
I do like the harmonizing inthe song, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Very good song, yeah the changing.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Does it take you back ?
Speaker 4 (30:52):

It's got that sound, thatnostalgic type sound to it and
also it brings my sister in mind.
Okay, she's in this era also.
She lives upstate.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Okay, so this isn't the sister that passed.
No, okay.
Speaker 4 (31:08):

Washington State.
She's who I got my spiritualbackground from.

I'm not learning, I'm justknowing.
(45:02):
I said your math, whicheverybody knows.
Again, we discussed this.
Tom and Mike have broken thisdown.
Mike's right.
What About the beer?
What are you right about?
If I had two 12-ounce beers,I'd drink those.
(45:23):
That's all I had.
And you had that one 24-ouncebeer.
We drank the same amount ofbeer.
That's all I'd have, but wedrank the same amount.
Yeah, just because you openedone and I'd have, but we drank
the same amount.
Yeah, just because you openedone and I opened two.
That's still the same, notreally.
Twelve and twelve istwenty-four.
What's that?
Savings?
(45:44):
Twenty-four Savings?
I don't know savings?
You have two bottles, I haveone.
Okay, yeah, I'm saving MotherEarth.
Oh goodness, sweet, you're notdoing shit.
I jumped on that bandwagon.
Now, who the hell are youfreaking?
Oh, come on, I have free-rangechickens.
(46:05):
I'm telling you, those are yourneighbor's chickens.
No, no, no, my free-rangechickens don't wear underwear or
nothing.
They just free range all overthe yard and stuff their ass.
Yeah, okay, have you never evenseen a bare ass chicken?
(46:25):
I have, I have.
Yeah, that's what mine looklike.
But again, you can't keeptaking your neighbor's chickens
just because they'refree-ranging to your yard.
Yeah, you can't do that.
So what about all these?
I'm not going to go there.
But there's these people thatare really not supposed to be
(46:47):
here.
Yeah, who Are they free-range?
If they wander in here, we takecare of them.
Yeah, you can, really.
That's because they don'tbelong to anybody.
They do belong to their ownplace.
Then they need to go back totheir own place.
And then they can come here andstuff.
(47:10):
Anyway, we ought to gosomewhere else.
What are you saying?
Go somewhere else.
Yeah, before it gets out ofhand.
What are you saying?
Do you even know what you'retalking about?
Go there, it goes.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
That's what I was talking about.
Well, you're kind of like well,I need to go somewhere.
Well, I didn't want to hurtanybody's feelings.
Everybody talks about what abitch I am.
Wait a minute.
Squeak is all of a suddenworried about feelings.
What the hell's wrong with you?
Did you hit your head on thathelicopter ride or some shit?
(47:48):
I think I'm still coming downfrom the ride.
Ah, so it was an excellent high.
Have you ever hung from a ropeSwinging in, did you?
Oh yeah, I'm telling you it wasa ride that I don't want to
take next week.
(48:09):
But they had you in that basketthing.
Where was the basket?
People get rescued from thatall the time.
They put them in that basketand they carry them away.
No, no, no, there was no basket.
No, oopsie, these are a verygood pair of gloves.
Just hold tight to the rope.
(48:29):
There's a knot for your feet tostand on.
Woo-hoo, ah, no, let me tellyou, I've flown here, I've flown
there, but I will never flythere again, motherfuckers.
And now I'm telling you, ifthey don't send me a ride, a
real ride, no, I don't.
(48:51):
People would pay for that kindof ride Exhilarating.
You know.
The only thing keeping me here.
What's that?
Squeak Is knowing Me?
Nope, it's knowing that nexttime we come here I get to talk
about music, because, oh, didthat thing bummed you out today?
Did you hear them?
(49:12):
Dumbass songs, that is somegood songs.
Well, I got some good songs.
Squeak, why are you somiserable?
No, no, this is happy songs.
Obviously, folks, squeakcouldn't handle a little
helicopter ride.
He got a good ride from Troy,but nope, troy don't know how to
fly a damn helicopter.
(49:32):
And, by the way, by the way, Imight add, that's an uh-oh that
they forgot the basket.
Should have been a basket foryou.
There should have been.
Well, or, or hear me out, youcould bring your own seat.
No, why would I have to do that?
Listen, oh, troy, it was anuh-oh that he forgot the basket.
(49:55):
Yeah, see, I can just hear thatnow at my funeral.
Here lies Squeak.
He died of an uh-oh.
What the hell is that?
You know what?
Let's move on to the music, allright, folks?
Yeah, we're going to run alongnow.
(50:17):
Squeak's a little uptight still.
I'm a little irritated, gottatell you.
We'll be back in a couple weeks.
At least I will.
Yeah, Hopefully you have abetter ride.
Squeak, yeah, or the obituarywill be very sad.
Ah, later folks.
Bye.
Speaker 3 (50:39):
Oh boy, a little wound up.
A little wound up for sure.
Squeak Falling out of ahelicopter.
Only Squeak can pull that oneoff.
Speaker 4 (50:48):
I wonder how far he really went on the end of that
road Exactly.
Speaker 3 (50:52):
Give him the little squirt.
Freaking kudos, Manny Hang on.
Speaker 4 (50:55):
Why is there never videos for that?
Speaker 3 (50:57):
I don't understand either.
That's the ones we need videosfor, yeah, and then, what Didn't
like our music?
Speaker 4 (51:04):
Yeah, what kind of music is he listening?
Speaker 3 (51:06):
to oh boy.
Speaker 4 (51:07):
One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, Two fish
two fish, red fish, blue fish,dr.
Demento hour for him or someshit.
Speaker 3 (51:12):
I guess we're going to find out Right, but that was
a good podcast today, I thoughtTom yes, it was, I enjoyed it.
It was very enjoyable listeningto Squeak's little journey over
here.
Speaker 4 (51:24):
And the nostalgic music that was a place for me.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
Yeah, I dig that too.
I dug that, that was good.
Speaker 4 (51:30):
That's why I can't wait until next time.
Speaker 3 (51:31):
We'll be talking about 71.
So that'll be nice.
Speaker 4 (51:35):
Yep.
Next time it'll be 71.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
Yeah, do a little reminiscing.
See well, geez 71.
I was eight years old.
Speaker 4 (51:43):
Yeah, I was.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
You're still young.
I was, we're still young.
What am I saying?
Speaker 4 (51:48):
We're both still young, but everybody wonders how
do you like music?
A little background.
I was accompanied with many,many older siblings.
I was the youngest of nine.
Speaker 1 (52:04):
Damn.
Speaker 4 (52:05):
And I was born in 67, so if that tells you anything,
yeah, yay.
Speaker 3 (52:10):
Not me.
The oldest Four Sounds so sad.
Speaker 4 (52:17):
You guys probably had leftovers, yeah right.
Speaker 3 (52:22):
Looking forward to that next time, Tom.
In the meantime, everybody, youcan listen to us on our website
, mtalpodcom.
Speaker 4 (52:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (52:31):
Little microphone on the bottom you can leave
comments and don't be too nasty.
But it's okay, we don't mindcriticism.
We actually would appreciatesome input, yeah yeah, some
feedback.
Exactly, and you can listen tous on Spotify iHeart, Amazon,
Deezer, DeepCastFM.
Speaker 4 (52:51):
Yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (52:53):
That's a really good one.
If you actually read thedescription about our podcast,
that one nails it.
We're on Buzzsprout too, yep,but I guess that's it Until next
time, tom.
Speaker 4 (53:03):
I'm excited about next time.
Absolutely there you go, andlet's always thank God for the
gift of Gab.
Speaker 3 (53:10):
Absolutely Tom, Everybody.
God bless, Take care Until nexttime.
Speaker 2 (53:15):
Later.
And that, dear listeners, wrapsup another deeply confusing,
mildly entertaining andaccidentally insightful episode
of the MT Alternative Podcast,where the only thing more
questionable than our facts isour sense of direction.
Huge thanks to Mike and Tom foronce again proving that two
(53:35):
brains are just barely enough.
Thank you, and, enemies alike,you can find us wherever quality
podcasts go to question theirlife choices Spotify, amazon
(53:55):
Music, iheartradio, deezer,deepcast, buzzsprout and, of
course, our digital mothership,m-t-a-l-t-p-o-dcom.
Until next time, I'm Danielsigning off before Mike tries to
explain economics again.
Stay weird, stay sceptical and,for the love of all things
(54:17):
logical, lower your expectations.
It really helps.
well, look who decided to show up again.
It's the mt alternative podcast, where mike and tom continue
their tireless mission to bringyou the finest blend of banter,
useless facts and whatevergummy-fueled thoughts pop into
their heads.
Yes, it's the podcastequivalent of a late-night snack
you regret in the morning.
(00:36):
This week they're back on theirfavorite topic forgotten music
from 1970, because apparently,if they can't remember it, it's
worth an entire segment.
Expect bold claims, foggymemories and at least one song
that sounds like it was recordedin a garage with the door
closed and a raccoon in thebackground.
(00:57):
But wait, there's more Troy.
Yes, the Troy is joining us foran interview.
That's right.
He's flying in, probablyliterally knowing Troy to add
some class or, at the very least, a third opinion.
That's just as questionable asthe first two.
So grab your favourite snacks,lower your standards and prepare
(01:19):
yourself for another episode ofthe MT Alternative Podcast,
where the facts are fuzzy, thelaughter is real and the point
well, we're still looking for it.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Welcome back to the MT Alternative Podcast.
Tom yes Happening.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Oh, everything is going on.
This is amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
This is amazing.
Yes, hopefully that sound willbe a little better this time.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
We're still tweaking stuff.
Hey, no, we're not tweaking.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
No, that's twerking.
We're not twerking, tweaking,we are tweaking.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
I twerk.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I mean not tweaking Like we're on meth or anything.
Speaker 4 (02:07):
Yeah, see, that's what I was saying, that's where
you were going I got you, I gotyou None of that.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
There'll be none of that, nope.
So what the hell's up?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Well, I was just sitting here, sitting here,
thinking oh crap, All right, goahead.
Oh, that's it.
I was just thinking.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Nothing in particular .
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Nothing at all.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Well, I thought about one thing.
I was just wondering about.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Wait a minute.
You only thought about onething.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Well, I get confused if I think about a couple things
, multiple things.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Okay, I got you, I got you.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
And the most confusing thing is when I'm
talking to myself.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
And I have to go back and repeat it because I realize
I wasn't listening to me.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Well, that's pretty sad, but you're not listening to
yourself.
Yeah, but I get it.
I have an issue with that, Iunderstand.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Yeah, well, yeah, with that I understand.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
Yeah, well, yeah, first of all, we should let
people know what we're doingtoday for this podcast, for our
research.
So I myself have went with theWonder.
It's a mushroom gummy 1200milligrams high potency blend
(03:27):
per gummy, oh, and it's gotstrawberry banana flavor.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, ultra-high potency.
I think this is more of apsychedelic than the other stuff
we took with the kava oh yeah,so that was mine.
What do you have today?
I have with the Monster SlimJim no no, no, tom, no, no, no,
we're talking about the gummies.
Gummies time oh the Monster.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Slim Jim can wait till later.
Oh sorry.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
I know You're confused easily, yep.
I thought we were Also good,also good.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Yeah, I was just wondering what you were talking
about there.
But I am going, I have wentwith a I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I think I think I hit on this the last podcast at the
end.
Yeah, that's when the exercisecame.
Whatever else came turned on me.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Well, I'm thinking.
Well stupid, you took way toomuch.
That's all that was.
But it must be pretty good,because it took you to another
level Right.
At first I giggled.
I had good times.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You were having a good time.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
And then it turned on me, but anyway.
So I thought, well, what elseto do?
Take a smaller dose.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Go back to that.
Yeah, and let me.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Okay, when your gun shoots off a little bit, you
know, go buy a new gun, youtwerk that gun okay, why are we
twerking?
Speaker 3 (04:54):
why we're doing it?
Speaker 4 (04:55):

As you said, tweaking it backdown, okay, a little at a time,
okay, and you're getting itright.
So that's what I'm doing Get itright.

Oh yeah, I got rid of my teslaand I bought myself a chevy
tahoe.
Okay, awesome, buddy, that'sawesome.
I agree with that.
It's a gas guzzler yes so allof a sudden now, well, the tesla
(10:47):

Wasn't that what you bought thetesla for was to go away gas.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Yeah, you get away from it, yep.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
But dumb now.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
I don't like it that way, I want my cake and eat it
too so you went from going greenyeah to to getting a gas
guzzler.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
It's kind of like Way to show it to the man.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's kind of like Stick it to the man New show
that I told you my wife and Iwere kind of watching this
Outlast.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Supernatural Nope.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
What happened to?
Speaker 3 (11:16):
that.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
We've been watching, we watched.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
How do you have time for all this TV?
Speaker 4 (11:21):
I watch a couple hours a night.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Oh crap man.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
We have a couple.
We don't really watch anythingelse.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So go ahead.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
You know we watch a little bit of everything but
anyway, this outlast is thesepeople and this woman.
She's like evil because it's amillion dollars.
I mean my team's going to win amillion dollars.
I mean my team's going to win amillion dollars.
But you know, some of thesepeople that are out there are
just wonderful people, but thismoney has turned them and
they're out there stealingpeople's sleeping bags in
(11:55):
30-degree weather and they'reburning down their damn houses
in 30 degrees.
You know.
That doesn't sound like a fair.
No, it doesn't really at all.
I'm like why are they doingthat?
Because money changes people.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Money does.
Money does, tom Stupid, moneydoes.
Speaker 4 (12:12):
That's where our government's at.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
But anyway, yeah, pretty much there.
Speaker 4 (12:16):
Back to the other great stuff that makes us happy.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
Then another thing I'm happy about is the Board of
Education kind of gettingknocked down a little bit?
Yes, step down.
Where's that money going?
Speaker 4 (12:28):
for real.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, excuse me, funny, since Carter put that in
in 1979 for, of course, favorsfor unions, but anyways, test
scores.
Kids graduate and have gonedown?
Oh, I shouldn't say graduate,because they'll just let anybody
pass.
Now, oh, we got to make it fair.
Well, that's.
And have gone down?
Oh, I shouldn't say graduate,because there's just let anybody
pass.
Now, oh, we got to make it fair.
Well, that's not how schoolworks.
Not at all the stories you hearabout kids that get their first
(12:53):
job, can't handle money becausethey're so used to that common
core math or whatever the hellthat crap was.
One plus one is two.
I don't have to all this figureout shit.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Exactly, it just is, but it's just stupid, I mean.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
that's why I do believe in my heart of hearts
that it should be in the states,because each state has their
own agenda, whatever you want tocall it.
Exactly, let them do theirteaching their way.
Let's go back to reading mathscience history.
You know history is fine.
You can teach all that historystuff.
That is history.
I don't care.
You know the slaves.
Yes, you can go through allthat.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
But let's get real about everything.
Let me ask you this how wouldyour hate progress?
The hate that you carry in yourheart would progress, if we
didn't tell history?
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Exactly right.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
That's what's pushing your hate, you idiots that's
what's pushing your hate.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
You idiots.
You, you get rid of history.
All you do is repeat yourselfover and over and over again.
Yep, you never learn.
Let's get rid of this, let'sget rid of that bullshit.
But yeah, department ofeducation with that weinberg,
whatever freaking name is there,lady, just I'm doing it for the
kids.
No, you're not, lady, you getall this money and it.
I guess they compared us tolike New York, 40th in the
(14:07):
nation or whatever it was ineducation.
It's like where's all thatmoney going?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
Where is it going the ?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
extra money is not there.
You look at other countries howgood they are and they spend
only so much for a child.
We're spending an average of$36,000, $37,000 a child a year,

So maybe, but you know, like Isaid, again.
Speaker 3 (14:46):

So Anyway, march Madness.
Oh, okay, let's talk aboutKansas.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
I don't want to.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
What happened?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
They lost.
Oh why they had less pointsthan the other team.
Oh, that's sad.
Well, it certainly was.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
They got knocked out pretty damn early.
Now North Carolina's knockedout also, really.
Yeah, they beat last night bywho?
Arkansas?
Speaker 4 (15:58):
No, that was Kansas.
Kansas got beat by Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
Well, well, let's look.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Well, kansas got beat by Arkansas.
Well, well, let's look.
Well, maybe in the second round, because Arkansas beat Kansas.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
No, no, no, no.
I mean I'm not arguing with you.
I don't think it was.
Let me just double check here.
Uconn won last night, so I kindof root for Sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:19):
No problem, everybody's got their.
I was kind of hoping.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Bryant College was going to win last night, but no,
they played Michigan, and Idon't even know how that went,
so anyways, anyway, let me justgive this a.
Oh, I stand corrected, it wasOle Miss Tom that beat North
Carolina.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Ole Miss, ole Miss.
Yeah, because I watched theKansas Jayhawks get put out by
Arkansas.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Did you?
Yeah, it was sad Sorry.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Yeah, it was sad, Sad .
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Not a good year for Kansas, right?
Yeah, it's been rough.
Oh well, what are you?
Speaker 4 (16:55):
going to do.
Well, okay, you can't lose athome 90% of the time and keep a
fan base.
It's not a good year.
That's all Tough.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
That's all it's tough , it is.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Rebuild.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Anyways, what I want to do is let's get Troy in here,
because I want to hear hislittle venting.
Speaker 4 (17:14):
So we'll get that going, let's get him in and out
of here before the world findshim.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Hope you have something interesting.
I mean, Troy did bring Squeak'sass, so Squeak's got to be
around somewhere.
Speaker 4 (17:25):
Somewhere he's here.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
He was supposed to get a ride with Troy, anyways,
anyways, folks, we got thistaped interview, so hope you
enjoy it and we'll be back Allright, folks, we're back with
Troy.
Hey, troy.
What's up, Troy?
What's going on bud?
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Good to have you with us.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
Hello guys, it's about time you asked me back,
considering you made me givethat runt a ride.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
All right, Troy, let's cut to it.
What exactly is your beef withSqueak?
Where did all this tensionstart?
Speaker 5 (17:56):
You know what that little runt did to me, mike?
He declared war, full-on crazywarfare.
You guys remember my car, right, my 95 Civic with the busted
taillight and that slight deathrattle when I hit 60.
A classic.
Well, apparently that carwasn't good enough for Squeak,
because one day I walk outsideand boom, there's my Civic
(18:20):
Covered, absolutely drenched inwhat can only be described as an
ungodly amount of marshmallowfluff and rainbow sprinkles.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Holy shit, damn.
Speaker 5 (18:29):
Oh, that's just the opening shot.
My friends Turns out Squeak hadengineered some kind of
miniature catapult and I'mtalking medieval level accuracy
and fired bucket loads of thestuff onto my car from the roof
of the convenience store downthe street.
I guess he thought it would befunny to turn my Civic into a
giant dessert, and the grandfinale was the giant melon to
(18:52):
the side of my car.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
I could imagine the tension on that.
Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, that catapult incident was pretty.
Uh, that would piss me off too.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
Yeah, punking in the car.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, it doesn't do good at all.
Some people say Squeak's justmisunderstood.
Do you think there's any truthto that, or is he as annoying as
you make him sound, troy?
Speaker 5 (19:12):
Look, I get it.
Some people think Squeak ismisunderstood, Like he's some
deep, complex soul just waitingfor the world to appreciate him.
But let's be real here.
He's not a tortured artist.
He's not a tortured artist.
He's a guy who chews with hismouth open, talks during movies
and once tried to fix thetoaster with a spoon
Misunderstood Maybe.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
Annoying.
Definitely I stand by that.
I'm with Troy, I gotta say he'sannoying.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
He's an annoying little guy.
He's got that cute littlepossum.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Got a heart.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, sometimes he does.
For some reason, pip hangsaround with him.
I don't get it, but whatever,do you think the feud is
something that could be settled,or are we talking a lifelong
rivalry?
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Look, I'm not saying it's impossible, but let's just
say Squeak and I havefundamental differences like oil
and water, cats and vacuumcleaners.
You know, we've tried to hashthings out before, but somehow
it always ends with Squeak,making some snide comment, and
then I respond and next thing,you know, we're back at square
(20:25):
one.
I mean, at this point it'spractically tradition.
If we suddenly got along,people would think something was
wrong with the universe,planets would fall out of orbit,
dogs would start meowing Chaos.
Hey, some grudges are biggerthan us.
Guys, I don't make the rules,wow.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Okay, that long oh, okay, wow geez, well I'm.
I'm just wondering if, if doeshe have all the friends that he
says he does, where you pick himup and you drive him here, fly
him here over the river andthrough the woods, like I said
the other day, but what is hisdeal?
(21:08):
I mean, fill us in.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, troy, what do you know?
I mean, we know little aboutSqueak.
I know very little I don't knowabout Tom.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
We tolerate him for Pip, actually Pip seems to be
level-headed.
Yeah, as can be.
God bless him for toleratingthat squeak, but hey, you can't
pick your friends, but you canpick your nose.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
Can you think of a redeeming quality?
Speaker 5 (21:40):
Troy, that Squeak might have, or is it all
downhill from here?
Oh, squeak definitely hasredeeming qualities, like that
time he opened a jar of pickleswithout spraining anything
Absolute hero.
Or how he's somehow survivedthis long, despite making every
conversation feel like alive-action disaster movie,
where the only plot twist is howfast people can escape the room
.
That's a talent, right.
And let's not forget his knackfor saying the absolute worst
(22:03):
thing at the exact wrong moment.
It's almost impressive, likewatching someone juggle flaming
swords poorly, but hey, at leasthe's consistent.
He's like that squeaky shoppingcartwheel.
You hate it, but after a whileit's kind of part of the
experience.
So yeah, redeeming qualities,totally.
(22:25):
Just, you know, buried underseveral layers of chaos, bad
timing and questionable lifechoices.
But hey, he once found that bagof chips on a road trip and you
better believe we're stillhearing about it.
Speaker 4 (22:38):
Oh, good answer, Troy .
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Wasn't expecting that .
I wasn't either.
I got one question, One finalquestion for Troy Tom.
Okay, you were stuck on adesert island, Troy, and you
know you had to fight in a cagematch with him.
Who do you think would come outa winner?
Speaker 1 (22:56):
and you had to fight in a cage match with him.
Who do you?
Speaker 5 (22:58):
think would come out a winner.
Oh, that's easy Me, no question.
Look, squeak's scrappy.
I'll give him that.
But he's also easily distracted.
All I'd have to do is point ata coconut and say, hey, does
that look like it's shaped likeAbraham Lincoln?
And boom, he's off on a tangent, giving the coconut a full
character backstory.
(23:18):
Meanwhile, I've already won thematch.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
What do you think?
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Here's what I think Troy, oh yeah, and what's that?
Tom?
Speaker 4 (23:30):
I think you better watch out for Pip, because he's
somewhere close oh okay, youknow the old Cain and Abel match
.
Speaker 3 (23:38):
Yeah right, where'd he come from?
Tom?
You got any?
One last question for Troy.
Speaker 4 (23:42):
Well, troy, I'm just wondering what it's like when
you bring him over to thatdaggum river, fly him every day
to work.
Do you bicker the whole way?
Does he try to backseat flyyour plane or helicopter?
Excuse me, I just wonder whatit all is about.
When you come.
Speaker 5 (23:59):
Well, how do you think it went, Tom?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Wait a minute, Troy.
It was supposed to be just fromthe river.
Why are you going to his houseto pick him up?
Speaker 5 (24:06):
Well, somehow that little bastard tricked me.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
No, it was supposed to be across the river only Now.
Troy's telling us he's going tohis house to pick him up.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
Well, here's the thing I thought he was Anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Wasn't it in the contract there?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
is no contract Tom.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
There was no contract with him, we just gave it to
him.
We felt bad for him Pitchingand whining.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
You're living a hole, for goodness sake.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
I think I put in a good word for you, the juice
feeds off.
So is it like bringing Squeakto the studio today.
Give us a little play-by-play.
Speaker 5 (24:38):
All right, guys, buckle up, you won't believe
this one.
So I'm coming in hot to thestudio today, right In my
helicopter.
Yeah, you know the usual, butapparently someone forgot to
mention to Squeak that he wasn'texactly on the flight plan
today.
I'm cruising along minding myown business when I look down
and I see Squeak running alongthe tarmac like he's in a damn
(25:01):
action movie.
No Uber, no rideshare, no,nothing, just Squeak, full
sprinting it towards me likehe's trying to break some sort
of speed record.
So, like any good friend, Idecide to help him out.
I lower the ladder and there heis yelling up at me talking
(25:22):
about how traffic's awful, anddon't get any ideas.
He's about halfway up theladder when suddenly, bam, he
trips.
And not just a little stumble,oh no, my friend.
And not just a little stumble,oh no, my friend.
Squeak, in all his glory, fallsout of my helicopter.
(25:44):
I'm talking full-on freefall.
It's like one of those momentsyou see in slow motion, except
instead of some heroic musicplaying, I'm screaming Squeak,
no.
But here's the kicker.
This man, this absolute lunatic, somehow manages to grab the
damn rope midair, like some kindof circus act gone wrong.
Now I've got Squeak danglingfrom the helicopter spinning
(26:06):
like a ragdoll, screaming thewhole time about how this wasn't
part of the plan.
And how does a guy end up inthese situations?
Meanwhile I'm just trying tokeep my cool, piloting this
thing like it's business asusual, but in the back of my
head I'm thinking how the helldid I get here?
Eventually I circle back aroundand there he is, hanging from
(26:27):
the rope like it's no big deal,still complaining that he could
have taken the bus.
But at least this was morescenic in the bus.
But at least this was morescenic.
So we finally land, squeak,still clinging to the rope and
me trying to pretend I didn'tjust witness the most ridiculous
thing ever.
And he gets off like it'sTuesday, says well, that was a
(26:49):
ride, and walks straight intothe studio.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Well, that doesn't surprise me, Typical Squeak.
Speaker 4 (26:58):
Anyways, traps whatever.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Sure, it's been a pleasure.
We'll talk again and thanks forcoming in again, buddy.
Thanks again.
Bye now, mike.
Speaker 5 (27:07):
Tom, this has been wild.
I got to get back to thehelicopter.
You know the usual Don't letthe fame get to your heads, all
right, but seriously, it'salways a pleasure.
I'll leave you two to clean upyour mess from this interview.
Catch you later.
Gentlemen, stay grounded, or,you know, not in my case.
Speaker 3 (27:28):
All right, that was interesting.
Yeah, well, troy had some goodpoints too.
Yeah, he did.
You know he's doing us a favoractually.
Yeah, he really is some goodpoints too.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
Yeah, he did you know he's doing us a favor actually.
Uh, yeah, let's wind him fromsqueak.
We hope, of course.
I guess up there in the air andall that sound and noise, you
don't hear him too much yeah,yeah, that's true, probably
mutes his little uh headset micand everything.
Speaker 3 (27:50):
But uh, yeah, it was interesting and uh, all right,
tom.
So, uh, we discussed, we wantedto talk about music from the
70s.
We were going to do top 10songs from the 70s that were
popular, that people seem toforget about, right?
But we decided to break it downby a year in the 70s Exactly.
We're going to start off at1970.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
All right, so I guess the first song we're going to
do is by Edison Lighthouse LoveGrows, and we both loved that
song.
Yeah, it was a good song.
It was a good song.
I know the song.
You know the song.
Yep, your first memory of thesong, do you have any?
I know you got older brothersand sisters.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
It's just, I was really young when this one came
out.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
You were born in 67, so three years old I was seven.
Speaker 4 (28:34):
I was three years old when this song came out, but
it's the time after.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
Like when I was five to seven, when I was in
different parts.
I mean I had six older sisters,two older brothers, right right
, right, so you've got a lot ofdifferent musical interests
genres, and then a dad that wasfrom the South, so there's
country thrown in there.
It was amazing of everythingthat I got.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
But this was a big staple on 70s radio back then,
you know.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah, partridge family kind of deal.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Yeah, exactly that's what it reminds me of too.
But yeah, good song, good song.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Yeah, for back in the day, and we'll skip into this
part for a minute and just butyeah, good song, good song, good
song, yeah for back in the day.
But yes, I enjoy things.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
And we'll skip into this part for a minute and just.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
And I just got to tell her that I love her
endlessly.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Because love grows where my rosemary grows.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
Excellent, excellent song.
We both admit we like that one.
Yeah, that's good.
Excellent song.
We both admit we like that one.
Yeah, that's good.
All right, and let's move on toour next song that we picked
out.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Rolling right along.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
We have Reflections of my Life by Marmalade
Marmalade I myself have notheard of it.
You have Yep.
I don't know why I haven'theard of it.
I'm surprised actually, becauseI've heard of Marmalade, I know
who they are and see honest, Ididn't know who it was.
Oh, you didn't know the name ofthe band, you just know the
(30:05):
song.
I just know the song.
That's usually how it goes withyou and I.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
Well, in the backseat of a Fairlane 500, you hear all
kinds of music.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
What are you doing in the backseat of a Fairlane?
Well, my brother-in-law and mysister had the babysit you.
Yeah, and I was in the back.
Oh, that's sad, not really.
I got to hear the cool music.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
You got to hear cool music, yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
I didn't want to hear all that other crap up front.
I'll do anything.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
See now, like I said, I'm surprised I've heard a lot
of music from this one.
Just for some reason skipped me.
I do like the harmonizing inthe song, oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:46):
Very good song, yeah the changing.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Does it take you back ?
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It does yeah.
It's got that sound, thatnostalgic type sound to it and
also it brings my sister in mind.
Okay, she's in this era also.
She lives upstate.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
Okay, so this isn't the sister that passed.
No, okay.
Speaker 4 (31:08):

Washington State.
She's who I got my spiritualbackground from.
Okay excellent, she was.
Speaker 3 (31:22):

(44:41):
Slim, jims and, and four beers,six beers, four, six.
I just opened this one, sothat's eight beers.
No four it will be when I'mdone, according to your math.
Okay, there you go.
See, you're learning, buddy,you're learning.
I'm not learning, I'm justknowing.
(45:02):
I said your math, whicheverybody knows.
Again, we discussed this.
Tom and Mike have broken thisdown.
Mike's right.
What About the beer?
What are you right about?
If I had two 12-ounce beers,I'd drink those.
(45:23):
That's all I had.
And you had that one 24-ouncebeer.
We drank the same amount ofbeer.
That's all I'd have, but wedrank the same amount.
Yeah, just because you openedone and I'd have, but we drank
the same amount.
Yeah, just because you openedone and I opened two.
That's still the same, notreally.
Twelve and twelve istwenty-four.
What's that?
Savings?
(45:44):
Twenty-four Savings?
I don't know savings?
You have two bottles, I haveone.
Okay, yeah, I'm saving MotherEarth.
Oh goodness, sweet, you're notdoing shit.
I jumped on that bandwagon.
Now, who the hell are youfreaking?
Oh, come on, I have free-rangechickens.
(46:05):
I'm telling you, those are yourneighbor's chickens.
No, no, no, my free-rangechickens don't wear underwear or
nothing.
They just free range all overthe yard and stuff their ass.
Yeah, okay, have you never evenseen a bare ass chicken?
(46:25):
I have, I have.
Yeah, that's what mine looklike.
But again, you can't keeptaking your neighbor's chickens
just because they'refree-ranging to your yard.
Yeah, you can't do that.
So what about all these?
I'm not going to go there.
But there's these people thatare really not supposed to be
(46:47):
here.
Yeah, who Are they free-range?
If they wander in here, we takecare of them.
Yeah, you can, really.
That's because they don'tbelong to anybody.
They do belong to their ownplace.
Then they need to go back totheir own place.
And then they can come here andstuff.
(47:10):
Anyway, we ought to gosomewhere else.
What are you saying?
Go somewhere else.
Yeah, before it gets out ofhand.
What are you saying?
Do you even know what you'retalking about?
Go there, it goes.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (47:28):
