Ready for a podcast that bounces between courtroom scandals and Chuck Berry's only number one hit without missing a beat? We've got you covered.
The gavel comes down hard in this episode as we tackle the bizarre case of two Democratic judges arrested for harboring illegal immigrants. One judge allegedly helped an undocumented defendant escape ICE agents through a courthouse back door, while another kept a suspected Venezuelan gang member as a "handyman" in their guest house. As we unpack the legal and ethical implications, we can't help but wonder what motivates supposedly impartial judges to risk their careers and freedom for such actions.
But this isn't just a current events show. We take a delightful detour into the musical treasure trove of 1972, sharing personal stories about iconic tracks that defined an era. From Don McLean's "American Pie" (no, it wasn't about Lynyrd Skynyrd) to Badfinger's Beatles-esque "No Matter What," these songs carry powerful memories. Mike recalls making out to The Raspberries' "Go All the Way," while Tom shares how Dr. Hook's "Sylvia's Mother" became the soundtrack to lonely summer days on his sister's farm, played endlessly on an 8-track player.
Of course, our resident troublemakers Pip and Squeak crash the party with their own questionable 1972 selections. Chuck Berry's innuendo-laden "My Ding-a-Ling" makes an appearance, as does something about a dead skunk in the middle of the road. The segment culminates in our discovery of perhaps the strangest song of 1972 – a track called "Jungle Fever" that leaves us genuinely wondering if we're hearing torture, kidnapping, or something else entirely.
Whether you're a music enthusiast, a news junkie, or just someone who appreciates unfiltered conversation, this episode delivers on all fronts. Subscribe now and join us next week as we explore the musical landscape of 1973!

They had another judge.
You got to hear this story.
It's messed up.

Right, she finds out that ICEis in the building in the
(05:07):
courthouse, goes out and freaksout on him, tells him they got

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Go out this door.
Guess what.

Let me read this quick.
Okay, judge Hannah Dugan.
This is the one in Wisconsinthat let the guy go out the back
door.

Dugan was arrested by the FBI oncharges of obstruction and
concealing an individual toprevent arrest.
(06:05):
According to the federalprosecutors, dugan allegedly
helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz, anundocumented immigrant, avoid
arrest by immigration andcustoms enforcement agents at
the courthouse.
She's accused of directingFlores Ruiz and his attorney to
exit through a side door,thereby evading ICE agents who
were waiting to detain him.
Flores-ruarez was laterapprehended outside the building
(06:28):
.
Dugan has been charged with twofelony counts obstructing or
impeding a federal proceedingand concealing an individual to
prevent discovery or arrest.
Her attorney has stated thatthe arrest was unjustified and
not in the interest of publicsafety Bullshit.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah well, yeah see, she's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, a little bit, you think.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
This is perfect, but oh boy.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Then you got this other guy, former Judge Joel
Cano, whatever his name is Right.
I can't even pronounce this.
Former Donna.
A Neck County Magistrate, judgeJoel Cano and his wife Nancy
were arrested for allegedlyharboring Christian Ortega Lopez
, a suspected member of theVenezuelan gang Tren de Argua
(07:16):
and an undocumented immigrant.
Ortega Lopez has been residingin the couple's guest house
after being hired by Nancy Canoas a handyman.

their home and they are accusedof attempting to hide evidence
related to the ortega lopez'spresence on their property.

Speaker 4 (07:54):
It's very handy yeah, man sounds like it let's see.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
attorney general uh pan bondi has issued a stern
warning the judges who challengeor obstruct the trump
administration's immigrationenforcement policies, declaring
that they will be heldaccountable under the law.
These arrests have beenintensified tensions between the
judiciary and the federalgovernment, highlighting the
broader conflict overimmigration enforcement and the
role of local officials.

the other, what he's going to dowhen he gets in here.

points.

wanting to talk about earlierand it left my mind.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Where'd it go.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, if it was in my mind, there's a lot of places
it could have went.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You have no idea where it went.

That's pretty much what we could say, but I like
the other saying better.
Speaker 3 (14:40):

The song's funny.
And here's something elsethat's funny about the song.
Of all the songs, you ever getto that part where he's swimming
across Turtle Creek, yeah, andit's hard getting across that
creek, yeah, and both handsholding his dangling leg.
Could you imagine somebodyflopping around out there with
(22:33):
both hands down under the water?
And what was he doing floppingaround?
There's something wrong withyou, squeak.
Yeah, there's something wrongwith him too.
Let go of the ding-a-ling andswim ashore, you stupid.
Yeah, well, give me a squeak.
I think that's funny as, anyway, it's Swim.
Sure, you Scream.

It was a popular song.
I live with my ding-a-ling allthe time, not your ding-a-ling,

Yeah, but if you're ever in thewoods, yeah, just follow a
possum, why They'll take you tothe road.
Oh goodness gracious, what aboutsquirrels?
They do the same thing.
You can't follow a squirrel.
Why.
You're going to jump aroundtree to tree.
That'd be fun, and hop aroundhere and fly over there.
(24:44):
I think that would be prettyfun, sweet, well, it'd be fun,
but you can't do it.
You know what else?
If I was a squirrel, I couldvisit the old Keebler.
If you were a squirrel, I wouldgo visit the Keebler elves.

I've heard of my ding-a-ling, Chuck Berry.
That's freaking awesome.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yeah, have you heard of?
Speaker 4 (29:16):
it ding-a-ling, chuck berry.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
That's freaking awesome yeah uh, yeah, have you
heard of it ding-a-ling?
Speaker 4 (29:19):
no, that ding-a-ling the dead skunk in the middle of
the road.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You have heard of that, yeah tom, I gotta admit
I've never heard of it there's,there's a lot.
Yeah, I always thought you andsqueak were kind of like no, no,
no, kind of the same, somewhatNot the same at all You're not
as angry as Squeak.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
A little different there oh a little.
But the good thing is he stuckto the program.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
He did, he did.
Those are songs from 72.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yep, they did.
We'll give him credit.
Grumbled a little bit about it.
Yeah, we let him do what hewanted.
He'd be picking songs from nowtill bouncing around everywhere,
but anyways, now we get to gointo our 72 segments, yeah,
which I'm excited about.
Damn, there was a lot of songsfrom 72 a lot of great songs a
lot of songs yeah yeah, it wasso many.
(30:07):
Uh, you have any from 72.
Now, it was a long list ofsongs, tom, we could have picked
any, but we, both of us hadthat.
We picked two songs each people.
We went to the top 100 songs of72.
Each of us said, you know,let's find two songs, that
there's a lot of songs we alllike, we both liked, yeah, we
both love so many 80.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I'd say again, but oh , yeah, but uh, two songs that
kind of stuck out to both of usand those are the ones we're
going to talk about right so, uh, you go ahead there first tom
well, I think the first one thatI'm going to talk about a
little bit is the, the americanpie ah, don mclean, classic that
is a good song, and another oneof my favorites well, I think
(30:52):
the reason that it stands out somuch to me is because I'm such
a Skinner fan and most of thepeople think that this song was
written about the Lynyrd Skynyrdplane crash.
Nope, you're right, but that'sreally not what happened.
But that's every time I hearthe song.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Usually, I think it's about Buddy Holly, right yeah
it was the Big Bopper.
Big Bopper Buddy Holly.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
But people want to transfer the tragedy for oh,
that meant this, and that's like9-11.
Everything means this, Rightright right this right, right,
but you know, and, but I'm justsaying this song makes me think
(31:40):
of the plane crash and how ittook out so many great great
yeah who knows what would havebeen you know what would have
been uh exactly, and to me thatwas the guy that the labamba guy
was on that plane, buddy holly,and uh, um, uh, was it richie
balin or richie, something likethat big bopper?
yeah, the La Bamba guy was onthat plane too.
Yeah, buddy Holly, buddy Holly.
And.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Was it Richie Balin or Richie, something like that
Big Bopper, yeah A lot of themand just so many young people.
Now the song itself, though, isjust a great song Snuffed out.
Yeah, you know that I've heardforever.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
What the hell was that?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, I'm not sure that was a long, long time.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, that's YouTube doing its favorite.
Let's throw a commercial inevery two seconds.
There you go Buy our product.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
But anyway.
That was a great song in my eraand it just reminds me of so
much, a lot of good times andthings.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It is one of those nostalgic type songs, whether
it's thinking about that or justhanging around with friends and
reminiscing about thingsAwesome.
Let's play it out a littlethere you go.
Great story through the songExcellent song Tom.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Excellent song.
Love that song.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Anybody who grew up in that era pretty much
remembers that.
Okay, so I myself.
You know who Eric Carman is,sure, well, he was in a band
back in the day called theRaspberries Right, a song that,
(33:29):
like I was saying, my song istalking about Eric Carman when
he was with the RaspberriesRight Go All the Way, which I
thought was my song, is talkingabout Eric Kierman, which is
Raspberries Go All the Way,which I thought was a great song
.
I remember being, you know, oneof my first girlfriends
listening to this, but this isalways it's just one of them
songs that always has anostalgic feel to me.
I love the song and, like Isaid, I remember one girl in
(33:52):
particular.
I'm not going to mention anynames, it's a song playing Some
other girl you know a littlemaking out in the back seat,
some other girl which we were inthe front seat, but it's just
that song just stuck with me, Iunderstand, and, of course, eric
Carman, which at the time Ididn't know Eric Carman, was in
that band.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I had no idea.
You even lived back then.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Great song.
You see what I'm saying.
You feel it, man.
It's just it was perfect time,perfect song.
It was like and of course yougo home after like Lovey, dovey
and shit, you know, Stars inyour eyes yeah, exactly that
feeling.
That's what this song does forme and to this day I'll still
(34:35):
listen to this song.
Not because of that, it's justI like the song, but it does
bring back those memories.
It sure does.
I remember when I first heardthis, but that was one of mine
and yours was.
What was your next one?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Well, you know, we always got to go back to good
old Dr Hook.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Dr Hook.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Good old Dr Hook.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Dr Hook and the song.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, in the 70s.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Sylvia's.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Sylvia's mother.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Sylvia's mother.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
And every time you go to a 1970s, 1971, 1972, every
year you're going to find a DrHook song Right, and every one
of them always brings somethingback to me.
And once again it's when I wasyoung.
(35:29):
I stayed and spent a lot oftime with my sister and her
husband.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
And they had these in 8-track.
Ah, 8-track, I would sit attheir farmhouse in the summer
for hours on end and listen tothese Because they would go to
work.
And there I was, on this farm,miles from anywhere.
That's all I had.
It was Dr Hook on an 8-track,and so these songs.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I can remember.
You obviously are a Dr Hook fan.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yeah, I am Most of their songs are really good.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
I know a lot of their songs.
You actually told me many songsI never even realized was Dr
Hook.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I was shocked.
I'm like thinking of them asthis weird-ass band.
I'm pretty much a Dr Hook fan.
Yeah, I'm like Rolling Stoneand all that crap.
I'm thinking that and you'retelling me what.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Cover the Rolling Stones.
And yeah, the other one youcouldn't believe was when You're
in Love with a.
Beautiful Woman.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
When You're in.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Love with a Beautiful Woman.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
That's them, Yep yep, that's them.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
So what's this song actually about?
He's calling up hisex-girlfriend and he's getting a
hold of her mom.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
And she's like no, she's upstairs and she's packing
, she's going to be leavingtoday.
She's got her another fella.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
You're dead.
Is she a hoe?
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
Well, he treated her like shit.
He probably did.
Now her mother's like no, she'sgoing to do better.
She's been marrying a felladown Galveston Way.
Yeah, as the song would say, ohthat's kind of sad.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, it is a sad song.
Well for him, I guess.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Well, sylvia, she seems to think it's okay, but he
keeps screaming so she's hadenough, yeah.
And he keeps screaming to theoperator, hey, no, 20 cents more
.
And he keeps dumping quartersin the phone.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Ah, okay, all right, so mine is.
I don't know if you know thisone.
You've heard of Bad Finger.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, okay, I have a Bad Finger.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
They have a song called no Matter what.
Well to me.
I remember when I first heardthis this is why this song
sticks out to me I thought forsure it was the Beatles.
Ah, I thought it was a newBeatles song At that time.
At that time I was starting tomy aunt.
I remember going to their housethey had 45s of Beatles.
(37:59):
Yeah, so I listened to thoseand that's when I started
getting into the Beatles.
You know, you get into thosedifferent bands at that age, but
anyways, badfinger, when Iheard that song playing I'm
(38:21):
sorry, this sounded like PaulMcCartney to me a little bit,
just a little bit Back then tome that's who I thought it was.
Especially the harmonizingcomes in.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
This is such a good song too.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
To me at that time, this song was freaking kick-ass.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
There's so many good 72 songs Again.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Tom 72,.
We had so many we had to pickout, we threw them all.
Both of us went through themall.
Yeah, it was tough.
I could have picked out 30 or40 of them.
Yeah, but the ones that stickout, like I said, uh, raspberry
song, because of that moment andthis, I was a beatles fanatic
(39:00):
back then still like the beatles, just not as much.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
This sounds like the beatles to me.
Yeah, it does me too excellentsong though great song and again

Y'all send us some of your favorite 72 songs, yeah
exactly, and this journey willcontinue.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
We could do a whole few hours on this, but it'd be
like listening to a radiostation, obviously with the
rules and all that.
We can't do that, can't playother people's songs and just
play them without royalties.
We can't do that.
Can't play other people's songsand just play them without
royalties.

You hear about those two judges?
Yeah, democratic judges, Ishould say progressive, which is
stupid.
Are they really progressive?
Speaker 4 (04:42):
Progresso.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
They're trying to be.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
They're probably going to end up.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, so you had one that had gang members living at
their home Right, he was aretired judge.
They had another judge.
You got to hear this story.
It's messed up.
Trial for this guy Right.
He's been deported once, cameback Uh-huh Many assault charges
on him.
Right, she finds out that ICEis in the building in the
(05:07):
courthouse, goes out and freaksout on him, tells him they got
to go see the chief judge.
Meantime she brings back in thecourtroom, takes his defender
and him in her chambers, letshim go out the back door.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Go out this door.
Guess what.
They caught the stupid ass andshe got arrested right in the
court by the FBI.
Speaker 4 (05:29):
See, and that's the way the system ought to work.
Look, I don't care where you'resitting, it doesn't matter what
your name is.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Nope, you've got to go by the law.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
Exactly If.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
ICE is there.
They're there for a reason.
This person's been deportedbefore.
Let me read this quick.
Okay, judge Hannah Dugan.
This is the one in Wisconsinthat let the guy go out the back
door.
On April 25th 2025, milwaukeeCounty Circuit Judge Hannah
Dugan was arrested by the FBI oncharges of obstruction and
concealing an individual toprevent arrest.
(06:05):
According to the federalprosecutors, dugan allegedly
helped Eduardo Flores Ruiz, anundocumented immigrant, avoid
arrest by immigration andcustoms enforcement agents at
the courthouse.
She's accused of directingFlores Ruiz and his attorney to
exit through a side door,thereby evading ICE agents who
were waiting to detain him.
Flores-ruarez was laterapprehended outside the building
(06:28):
.
Dugan has been charged with twofelony counts obstructing or
impeding a federal proceedingand concealing an individual to
prevent discovery or arrest.
Her attorney has stated thatthe arrest was unjustified and
not in the interest of publicsafety Bullshit.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
Yeah well, yeah see, she's an idiot.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Yeah, a little bit, you think.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
This is perfect, but oh boy.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Then you got this other guy, former Judge Joel
Cano, whatever his name is Right.
I can't even pronounce this.
Former Donna.
A Neck County Magistrate, judgeJoel Cano and his wife Nancy
were arrested for allegedlyharboring Christian Ortega Lopez
, a suspected member of theVenezuelan gang Tren de Argua
(07:16):
and an undocumented immigrant.
Ortega Lopez has been residingin the couple's guest house
after being hired by Nancy Canoas a handyman.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, handyman.
All right, you want toelaborate on that, don't you,
tom?
Speaker 4 (07:33):
Yeah, go ahead, buddy Handy with the ladies.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, he's handy, all right.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Yeah, that's what's up.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
All right Federal agents arrested the Canos at
their home and they are accusedof attempting to hide evidence
related to the ortega lopez'spresence on their property.
Don't let them find the videoof him being a handyman.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
It's very handy yeah, man sounds like it let's see.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
attorney general uh pan bondi has issued a stern
warning the judges who challengeor obstruct the trump
administration's immigrationenforcement policies, declaring
that they will be heldaccountable under the law.
These arrests have beenintensified tensions between the
judiciary and the federalgovernment, highlighting the
broader conflict overimmigration enforcement and the
role of local officials.
Yeah, Well.
(08:21):
You know it is what it is Legalimmigrants.
I just find this.
Well, you know it is what it isLegal immigrants.
I just find this Interesting.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Well, yeah, because everybody's always.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Why here's my why are these people so into the thugs
from other countries?
Gang members, what is thisMoney?
You know what it is Money.
They want to have their ownlittle army.
I guarantee it.
I'm on a little conspiracything here, but get all these
gang members in.

Yes, yes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):

Speaker 4 (13:12):
Squeak's probably been arrested twice.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
He's on our show Kind of gives us a bad name.

Is he going to stick to theyear, or is he just going to
ramble off songs that he likes,Because we can do that too, you
know?
Is he going to stick to theplan?
Speaker 4 (13:35):
He all knows what he's going to do.

the other, what he's going to dowhen he gets in here.
I did leave notes for him totry to go by little bullet
points.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Well, yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:52):

Smoke gets here.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Yeah, it got in my eyes, all right.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
But no, I just I was trying to think of what I was
wanting to talk about earlierand it left my mind.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Where'd it go.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, if it was in my mind, there's a lot of places
it could have went.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
You have no idea where it went.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
That's pretty much what we could say, but I like
the other saying better.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
Okay, we don't know where it went.
All right, we will discuss this.
Speaker 4 (14:46):

Speaker 4 (15:02):
Had lyrics.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Of course, again, I was only 9 years old, so it's
not like I have a fond memory,but it's the songs that I grew
up listening to after.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
I would have been scarred if I would have heard
this song at nine years old.
Yeah, I would have been scarred.
You folks are just going tohave to wait and listen.
This is crazy.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
But anyways, I hear some rumbling.

Well, there's still AmericanPie all over the damn place.
That's not what the song'sabout.
(20:25):
Squeak, well, what is the songabout then?
It says it right there in thetitle.
I think both of those guys Ithink Mike and Tom both explain
what the song is about.
Well, have you heard Tomexplain?
Shit, it gets a little old.
I don't know what happened.
And it goes over the mountainand through the valley.
(20:45):
He did slump a little, a little.
He's got backstories.
Have you heard?
This guy's an idiot.
He couldn't say the ABCswithout going through the damn I
don't know.
Okay, so, screech, what songsdid you pick?
And you stuck to 72, right, ofcourse I did.
(21:09):
Okay, what's your first one?
My dang-a-lang.
Ah, squeak, no, no, no.
Of all the Chuck Berry songs.
That's what you pick.
Yeah, because you know why.
Why, it's the only number onehe had.
He had that.
It was the only number one songhe ever had.
Okay, that's pretty sad.
(21:29):
He had that.
It was the only number one songhe ever had.
Okay, that's pretty sad.
Yeah, well, that's the onlynumber one thing I have.
Why?
Why do you like this song,squeak?
Why would it be sad if that wasthe only number one thing I had
?
Okay, is that the only reasonyou like it?
Because of my dangling?
Yeah, because it was the onlynumber one hit from Chuck Berry.
(21:52):
No other reason you like it?
No, it's got nothing to do withChuck.
Oh, it's because he's singingabout his dangling.
That's why I like it.
You're pretty juvenile.
Well, that's why everybodyliked it.
It was the dangling song.
So screw Chuck Berry.
(22:12):
The song's funny.
And here's something elsethat's funny about the song.
Of all the songs, you ever getto that part where he's swimming
across Turtle Creek, yeah, andit's hard getting across that
creek, yeah, and both handsholding his dangling leg.
Could you imagine somebodyflopping around out there with
(22:33):
both hands down under the water?
And what was he doing floppingaround?
There's something wrong withyou, squeak.
Yeah, there's something wrongwith him too.
Let go of the ding-a-ling andswim ashore, you stupid.
Yeah, well, give me a squeak.
I think that's funny as, anyway, it's Swim.

Speaker 4 (29:16):

That's freaking awesome yeah uh, yeah, have you
heard of it ding-a-ling?
Speaker 4 (29:19):

the road.
Speaker 3 (29:20):
You have heard of that, yeah tom, I gotta admit
I've never heard of it there's,there's a lot.
Yeah, I always thought you andsqueak were kind of like no, no,
no, kind of the same, somewhatNot the same at all You're not
as angry as Squeak.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
Well.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
A little different there oh a little.
But the good thing is he stuckto the program.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
He did, he did.
Those are songs from 72.
Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yep, they did.
We'll give him credit.
Grumbled a little bit about it.
Yeah, we let him do what hewanted.
He'd be picking songs from nowtill bouncing around everywhere,
but anyways, now we get to gointo our 72 segments, yeah,
which I'm excited about.
Damn, there was a lot of songsfrom 72 a lot of great songs a
lot of songs yeah yeah, it wasso many.
(30:07):
Uh, you have any from 72.
Now, it was a long list ofsongs, tom, we could have picked
any, but we, both of us hadthat.
We picked two songs each people.
We went to the top 100 songs of72.
Each of us said, you know,let's find two songs, that
there's a lot of songs we alllike, we both liked, yeah, we
both love so many 80.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I'd say again, but oh , yeah, but uh, two songs that
kind of stuck out to both of usand those are the ones we're
going to talk about right so, uh, you go ahead there first tom
well, I think the first one thatI'm going to talk about a
little bit is the, the americanpie ah, don mclean, classic that
is a good song, and another oneof my favorites well, I think
(30:52):
the reason that it stands out somuch to me is because I'm such
a Skinner fan and most of thepeople think that this song was
written about the Lynyrd Skynyrdplane crash.
Nope, you're right, but that'sreally not what happened.
But that's every time I hearthe song.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Usually, I think it's about Buddy Holly, right yeah
it was the Big Bopper.
Big Bopper Buddy Holly.
Speaker 4 (31:19):
But people want to transfer the tragedy for oh,
that meant this, and that's like9-11.
Everything means this, Rightright right this right, right,
but you know, and, but I'm justsaying this song makes me think
(31:40):
of the plane crash and how ittook out so many great great
yeah who knows what would havebeen you know what would have
been uh exactly, and to me thatwas the guy that the labamba guy
was on that plane, buddy holly,and uh, um, uh, was it richie
balin or richie, something likethat big bopper?
yeah, the La Bamba guy was onthat plane too.
Yeah, buddy Holly, buddy Holly.
And.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Was it Richie Balin or Richie, something like that
Big Bopper, yeah A lot of themand just so many young people.
Now the song itself, though, isjust a great song Snuffed out.
Yeah, you know that I've heardforever.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
What the hell was that?
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Yeah, I'm not sure that was a long, long time.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Yeah, that's YouTube doing its favorite.
Let's throw a commercial inevery two seconds.
There you go Buy our product.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
But anyway.
That was a great song in my eraand it just reminds me of so
much, a lot of good times andthings.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It is one of those nostalgic type songs, whether
it's thinking about that or justhanging around with friends and
reminiscing about thingsAwesome.
Let's play it out a littlethere you go.
Great story through the songExcellent song Tom.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Excellent song.
Love that song.
Speaker 3 (33:08):
Anybody who grew up in that era pretty much
remembers that.
Okay, so I myself.
You know who Eric Carman is,sure, well, he was in a band
back in the day called theRaspberries Right, a song that,
(33:29):
like I was saying, my song istalking about Eric Carman when
he was with the RaspberriesRight Go All the Way, which I
thought was my song, is talkingabout Eric Kierman, which is
Raspberries Go All the Way,which I thought was a great song
.
I remember being, you know, oneof my first girlfriends
listening to this, but this isalways it's just one of them
songs that always has anostalgic feel to me.
I love the song and, like Isaid, I remember one girl in
(33:52):
particular.
I'm not going to mention anynames, it's a song playing Some
other girl you know a littlemaking out in the back seat,
some other girl which we were inthe front seat, but it's just
that song just stuck with me, Iunderstand, and, of course, eric
Carman, which at the time Ididn't know Eric Carman, was in
that band.
Speaker 4 (34:09):
I had no idea.
You even lived back then.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Great song.
You see what I'm saying.
You feel it, man.
It's just it was perfect time,perfect song.
It was like and of course yougo home after like Lovey, dovey
and shit, you know, Stars inyour eyes yeah, exactly that
feeling.
That's what this song does forme and to this day I'll still
(34:35):
listen to this song.
Not because of that, it's justI like the song, but it does
bring back those memories.
It sure does.
I remember when I first heardthis, but that was one of mine
and yours was.
What was your next one?
Speaker 4 (34:51):
Well, you know, we always got to go back to good
old Dr Hook.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
Dr Hook.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
Good old Dr Hook.
Speaker 3 (34:58):
Dr Hook and the song.
Speaker 4 (35:00):
Yeah, in the 70s.
Speaker 3 (35:01):
Sylvia's.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
Sylvia's mother.
Speaker 3 (35:03):
Sylvia's mother.
Speaker 4 (35:05):
And every time you go to a 1970s, 1971, 1972, every
year you're going to find a DrHook song Right, and every one
of them always brings somethingback to me.
And once again it's when I wasyoung.
(35:29):
I stayed and spent a lot oftime with my sister and her
husband.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
And they had these in 8-track.
Ah, 8-track, I would sit attheir farmhouse in the summer
for hours on end and listen tothese Because they would go to
work.
And there I was, on this farm,miles from anywhere.
That's all I had.
It was Dr Hook on an 8-track,and so these songs.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
I can remember.
You obviously are a Dr Hook fan.
Speaker 4 (36:01):
Yeah, I am Most of their songs are really good.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
I know a lot of their songs.
You actually told me many songsI never even realized was Dr
Hook.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
Right right.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I was shocked.
I'm like thinking of them asthis weird-ass band.
I'm pretty much a Dr Hook fan.
Yeah, I'm like Rolling Stoneand all that crap.
I'm thinking that and you'retelling me what.
Speaker 4 (36:21):
Cover the Rolling Stones.
And yeah, the other one youcouldn't believe was when You're
in Love with a.
Beautiful Woman.
Speaker 3 (36:30):
When You're in.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
Love with a Beautiful Woman.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
That's them, Yep yep, that's them.
Speaker 4 (36:35):
So what's this song actually about?
He's calling up hisex-girlfriend and he's getting a
hold of her mom.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
And she's like no, she's upstairs and she's packing
, she's going to be leavingtoday.
She's got her another fella.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
You're dead.
Is she a hoe?
Yeah, no, no, yeah.
Well, he treated her like shit.
He probably did.
Now her mother's like no, she'sgoing to do better.
She's been marrying a felladown Galveston Way.
Yeah, as the song would say, ohthat's kind of sad.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah, it is a sad song.
Well for him, I guess.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Well, sylvia, she seems to think it's okay, but he
keeps screaming so she's hadenough, yeah.
And he keeps screaming to theoperator, hey, no, 20 cents more
.
And he keeps dumping quartersin the phone.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Ah, okay, all right, so mine is.
I don't know if you know thisone.
You've heard of Bad Finger.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, okay, I have a Bad Finger.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
They have a song called no Matter what.
Well to me.
I remember when I first heardthis this is why this song
sticks out to me I thought forsure it was the Beatles.
Ah, I thought it was a newBeatles song At that time.
At that time I was starting tomy aunt.
I remember going to their housethey had 45s of Beatles.
(37:59):
Yeah, so I listened to thoseand that's when I started
getting into the Beatles.
You know, you get into thosedifferent bands at that age, but
anyways, badfinger, when Iheard that song playing I'm
(38:21):
sorry, this sounded like PaulMcCartney to me a little bit,
just a little bit Back then tome that's who I thought it was.
Especially the harmonizingcomes in.
Speaker 4 (38:30):
This is such a good song too.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
To me at that time, this song was freaking kick-ass.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
There's so many good 72 songs Again.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
Tom 72,.
We had so many we had to pickout, we threw them all.
Both of us went through themall.
Yeah, it was tough.
I could have picked out 30 or40 of them.
Yeah, but the ones that stickout, like I said, uh, raspberry
song, because of that moment andthis, I was a beatles fanatic
(39:00):
back then still like the beatles, just not as much.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
This sounds like the beatles to me.
Yeah, it does me too excellentsong though great song and again
.
Speaker 3 (39:08):
So many flipping songs from the 70s that we could
just go over and talk about.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Y'all send us some of your favorite 72 songs, yeah
exactly, and this journey willcontinue.
Speaker 3 (39:21):
We could do a whole few hours on this, but it'd be
like listening to a radiostation, obviously with the
rules and all that.
We can't do that, can't playother people's songs and just
play them without royalties.
We can't do that.
Can't play other people's songsand just play them without
royalties.
We're not rich people.
But anyways, great song, greatfour songs.
