One day
The sun went down
I heard the radio
I missed you
I tried to move on
But being there was a singer
I looked right away
(03:52):
I missed you
I missed you
And I'm running down a dream
That it would come away
Working on a mystery
Going where everybody's
Running down a dream
(04:18):
I feel so good
Like anything that's possible
I hit a crazy stroke
With all my might
And I see the news
That the limits of the sun are old
It is always cold
And there's so much shadow
(04:42):
And I'm running down a dream
That it would come away
Working on a mystery
Going where everybody's
Running down a dream
(05:24):
Yeah, it's a wide open
And even when you're tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
(05:54):
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
(06:17):
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
If you keep
(06:40):
People come, people go
Some grow young, and some grow old
I was up in between
A dream and a dream
(07:06):
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(07:55):
My old man was built to rock
He's still trying to beat the clock
Think of me, what you heard
I've got a little space to build
(08:16):
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(08:38):
If you keep
People come, people go
Some grow young, and some grow old
Oh, you don't know how it feels
To be me
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(09:01):
If you keep
(09:24):
We are 27 years away
From the planet blowing us away
If you really don't want to stay
We'll float off in the Milky Way
(09:45):
As we pass an aboriginal land
Where we kind of really understand
That the truth of our mission
Is to peel off the division
Join our massive revolution band
(10:18):
Well, the status quo just can't stay
It's gotta go the hell away
Well, I tried to give me some peace today
But the future sees how far away we're
We're a massive revolution band
(10:39):
We're just trying to really understand
That the truth of our mission
Is to peel off the division
Join our massive revolution band
(11:12):
And, and we're back
We're back
And, yeah, yes we are
Rich, I've been out of town, Steve
It's so good to see the both of you
I missed you guys
Great to be back on the air here
Yeah, yeah, how'd it go while I was gone?
(11:35):
I tried to, I called in and we got interrupted or separated
I had like a whole other spiel I was gonna do
And I got cut off by that host
Right, right, no, it was pretty solid
He was nice, yeah
He was a cool cat, you know
You can't beat those Minnesota gentlemen
Yeah
You know
Well, they put something weird in the milk out there in the Midwest
(11:56):
Well, you guys told me ahead of the show that he was a sound guy
Yes
And I have to concede that that was my experience the entire time
He was a sound guy
And sound, pragmatic, yes
Absolutely reliable, ethical
Yep, yep
And boy, I'm very, in fact, we, I don't know if you've noticed
But Trench Digger's doing some major retooling
(12:20):
I guess the adpocalypse that they're talking about on YouTube is affecting our program too
David is, I think maybe next episode he might have more info
We might be getting a Patreon together
But we're having a really hard time keeping our sponsorship
And we want to point out the good sponsors that we've had over the couple years here have been great
(12:43):
And if you're interested in sponsoring the show, visit trenchdigging at gmail.com
And we can hook you up, man
Like all sorts of things, we advertise anything
Because it's adpocalypse
Anyway, on that note, we're also, I had some memos I was given
On this whole YouTube thing that we do here, there's a delay
(13:08):
But yeah, see this thing? It's called chat
Oh
You guys heard of that?
Yeah
It's like, you can, I'm gonna go ahead and try and try this
I'm gonna make a little emoji maybe
Okay
I think that's how it works, did I do it?
Oh yeah, look at that
I can do all that and boom, yes!
I've just officially chatted on our YouTube
(13:32):
So I guess this is something Trench Digger wants us to submit questions every now and then
To get viewership
And they had a list of questions for me
I'm supposed to do this
Well I got a question for Trench Digger myself
Yes, I do, I have a lot, what is it?
Well, I heard they cut covering the cost of birth control for all the female employees, is that true?
(14:00):
It's actually, it's not true, the birth control is still available
It's just that both our male and female employees have kind of aged out of the birth control process
Oh, is that what's going on? I thought they were taking advantage of that
It's real weird, the men too, I feel like there might be something in the pipes
(14:21):
But everyone, no kids, no child philosophy at Trench Digger
Well, you know, I've seen children raised by people in the media
And you wouldn't like how they turn out
I have no idea what that would be
I do have these questions, the first question they had that we are supposed to get feedback on
Question number one
(14:42):
Certainly
We love watching your program, especially the guest host, who are your favorite hosts?
I don't, is that, that doesn't seem like an appropriate question to comment on
Who's favorite hosts?
Oh, we got, but best of all, we have, the Dears Souls are here, they're thrashing the green room right now as I speak
(15:10):
It's going to be very exciting, so we should probably move along to that
But I did want to get your impression on the political situation, Rich
What the heck is going on?
I don't know, I mean, they're probably going to get a couple of guys in trouble, but the overall power structure will remain intact
(15:31):
That's my best guess
It seems familiar, there's all these, there's just so much news, it's really hard to cover
Oh, what's that? We got a phone call, we got a phone call
Hello?
Oh, Julian Assange, it's our buddy Julian Assange is back
(15:52):
Whose buddy?
He has a direct link with, I guess, this guy Paul Manafort is in the news
We're going to get a live link of Paul Manafort, thank you Julian, hang on a second
As long as Julian knows that suddenly sexual assault and harassment is no longer cool in our society, is Julian clear on that?
(16:13):
Like, it's not just a problem in Sweden, it's a problem over here now too, for like three weeks
I thought that was a hurricane of stuff going on
No, it's just suddenly not cool, like it was cool for like 241 years, but now
It was really cool in the 80s, it seemed like, the 80s and 90s
(16:34):
But just so Julian knows, like, he's got to behave himself if he's coming back over
Well, I'll see if I can, he's gone, it's so hard, you know, and you can't like, star 69 them
Because they got all their different
He loves star 69, he always found that hilarious
Yeah, it's a cool number
But yeah, so Paul Manafort is here with a special download link, we're going to take a look
(16:57):
And Paul, Paul, can you talk to us for a minute?
I've been advised not to talk about Trump's golf game
Oh, well, okay, I guess we kind of pulled a funny on you
We don't have Paul Manafort, we have Steve here, who is doing the voice of Paul Manafort
(17:23):
But it's true, you did talk to Paul, and he had nothing to say about what's going on
Other than, don't talk about the golf game
Yeah, don't talk about the golf
No, I heard he's, the President's good at golf
At least as good and fast and able as Taft was
(17:46):
Taft was a heck of a golfer too, you know
Isn't he the one that got stuck in the bathtub, isn't he?
The current, or the, no, okay
Anyway, I know we had a special bathtub made of gold, the gold throne
You know what, speaking of Adpocalypse, we've got some bills to pay
(18:08):
We're going to take a break, but when we come right back, we're going to bring in the Deersouls
I'm so excited, they are here for the rest of the hour, and we're going to have some fun
They're going to play live in the studio, when we come back
That was the President Revolution Band Variety Hour, thanks for watching
After 47 years, it's time to close Dot's Decorative Squash Store
(18:35):
We suffered through a disastrous squash crop this year, which made us realize it was time to hang it up
The good news is everything will be on sale
75% off
We have very little decorative squash for sure
(18:57):
But we still have books, gardening supplies, and more, all for sale
We're sad to be closing our doors, but as they say in the decorative squash business
All good things must come to an end
Hello, Dot's Decorative Squash, Dotty speaking
(19:23):
You've all heard me talk about crunchy raisin bran cereal and how much I love it
Now, you know, I tend to just eat bowl after bowl after bowl, which eventually becomes a box
Which eventually becomes some more bowls out of another box
(19:44):
And pretty soon, you know, I'm going back to the store to get more crunchy raisin bran
Because I just can't stop eating it
It's incredible, and you know, I think the secret is it's better with each bite
And I tell you what, I think that's got to be the new slogan
(20:06):
I'm hoping somebody who's listening to this right now is writing it down
And that's the new slogan for crunchy raisin bran because it is better with each bite
And I'm not saying each bowl or each box
I'm saying each bite is better than the other
(20:30):
Ladies and gentlemen, we got us some deer souls, yeah!
Yeah!
Alright, please have a seat, you guys
(20:52):
Thank you so much
Wow
Hi
Watch the mic in your back
Oh gosh, we can do something with that
Yeah, put it in my back
Give it to you
Yeah, man, how was your trip over here?
Well, we got lost
Yeah?
Alberta can be that street
(21:14):
Which street did you take?
30 seconds
30 seconds, see that is, I wish there were more people like you
Because everyone takes the other one
This is the busiest street ever
Yeah, there's lots of parking, I've walked over
Exactly, it's so obvious, I know
But everyone's like, oh I missed it, I missed it
So they never go left
But, well so, Kevin and David, is that what I've got?
(21:37):
Or David and Kevin?
Carl
Carl, God, I lost it already
Carl, I'm Jeff, it's nice to meet you
And David, I feel like we've maybe worked before together maybe
Do you play around town?
Uh, a little bit
Okay
I do sound with, I see you guys both are familiar with our host from last month, Scott
(22:02):
Yeah
Yeah, so how do you all know each other?
John Henrys
Yeah, John Henrys
John Henrys
Back in Eugene, Oregon
Wow, so that goes way back, so did you two do John Henrys together way back?
Yeah, we were all there
Okay, okay, well let's get into it
How did you two meet?
What is the Carl David story?
(22:24):
Yes
What was that, New Year's Eve?
No, what?
When I was wasted and fell on top of that girl
No, that was at a Whiskey Town show
Whiskey Town
Ryan Adams Band
Yeah
Had good times
Had good times
I remember good times, yeah
And we didn't get off on the best foot
I fell on top of one of his girlfriends
(22:47):
And then at the end of the night, everyone cleared out and I was all of a sudden alone
So I went into the parking lot, I wanted to go to the party and I saw a little truck
And I was like, hey man, where's the party?
And Diesel, like, you, and drives away
That was my first impression
Wow, that's such a classic musical story
It gets better
(23:08):
Then I'm asked to play guitar in this band that's going to tour
And they lose their guitar player last minute
And Bruce said, can you play, we're going on tour, the tour's booked
And I'm like, no problem, and I show up
He's the bass player, but he doesn't recognize me
So I'm like, oh, it's that one guy
And we went on tour
(23:29):
And this is all immediately at that point?
Yeah
Okay
We go on tour, he still doesn't recognize me
So we're partying together, I'm like, you don't remember me, do you?
I'm like, I'm that guy from good times
They're like instant best friends on tour
How long had it been since the good times incident and the tour?
Not long
Okay
Six months
(23:50):
I just have poor memories
And what was the tour, where was that?
Southwest with Mechs Pistols
Okay, Mechs Pistols
I know Scott has a relationship with Bruce, I believe, too
Oh, yeah
He saw old John Henry stuff, right?
Yep
Well, so how many years did you play in Eugene then?
(24:12):
Or did you play together at that point, or was that the beginning?
Yeah
The first time you played together, the tour was
That's, yeah
And ever since, you've had a thing, a thing going
We played in different bands
Yeah, a bunch of different bands
We just got rid of the bands and it's us
Okay, okay
And so when did Dear Souls origin pop in?
(24:36):
We got that together for a friend's wedding
We just put a couple songs together and debuted it
Jeff Unger
Oh, that's right
Yeah, that was Eugene Connection as well
Uh-huh, was that up here in Portland at that point?
So, Dear Souls is a Portland band
Oh, yeah, definitely
Were there any less pleasant experiences in Eugene?
(25:01):
Or the bands that didn't work out, those are always fun
Yeah
Was it a
All of them
You guys worked No One Else Would, is that?
Or was there some good
Was there a good run with one of them somewhere in there, a little three week run
It was good enough
Yeah, I think this might happen
Those tours were pretty fun
Yeah, those were great
The tours were good
Completely funded for DMs
(25:23):
They paid our rent when we were gone
Yeah
That's crazy
Wow
Our rent, which was like a hundred bucks at the time
Oh man, I remember those days
Yeah, was that a record label then at that point?
There was one out of San Francisco, I think
Is any of your past works available online or in those
(25:47):
Sure
Okay, should I throw some band names out there if anyone wants to look?
Former Dear Souls work, the early years
Max Pistols
Max Pistols
Cocaine Unicorn
Cocaine Unicorn
Best name ever
That is, what happened to Cocaine Unicorn?
Yeah, it druds
I should be singing a song about that tonight
(26:08):
I should have known, I should have known it was right there
Okay, good, it evolved into a work that you have tonight
That's great, let's see, well, did you go to school in Eugene?
Were the two of you down there at the UFO or were you just hanging out?
He got his GED there
Okay, sure
I grew up there
(26:29):
Okay, why? South Eugene High?
I went to North Eugene and Sheldon
North and Sheldon
I would have gone to Sheldon
Okay
Yeah
And then you moved to Salem
I moved to Salem
But you started there in Eugene
Oh, sure
What year was it?
86, my sister was class of 86 at Sheldon
She actually took acid for the first time on the school bus
(26:52):
It was like that kind of 80s
Right
Oh yeah
That's interesting, because our old friend Dan had a roommate that used to sell acid
and he was down there at South Eugene High
He got through
You know I always want to go to South Eugene, that's where all the cool kids were
He was pretty cool
Yeah, totally, definitely
Yeah
Wait, now was it the river that separated the cool kids from the bad kids?
(27:16):
Or is it more like an east-west thing?
Well, was it south?
South north
South and everyone else
It was the social capital thing
Well, the south has the hills, doesn't it?
All of the like
Skinner's Butte and stuff
All the like country fair royalty, all those kids that went to south and all the professors' kids went
Right
Three degrees of separation from Ken Kesey family and stuff
(27:40):
All those kids all went to Pleasant Hill
They were all Pleasant Hill hillbillies
Anyway, back to these guys
Sorry to interrupt with some emerald empire trivia
So you grew up in, not Eugene
In Moscow, Idaho
Oh, okay, so Idahoan
Idahoan
That's the built to spill kids are from there, aren't they?
(28:03):
Southern Idaho
Okay
Now what was life like in Moscow?
College town, 16,000 people, beer and trucks
My wife Jamila grew up in Pullman or went to high school there
Oh yeah, that's eight miles away
That's similar cultures, isn't it?
Absolutely
So what was the overlap? Was there a rivalry even between Moscow and Pullman?
(28:28):
Football
It's Moscow, not Moscow
Moscow
Moscow, I caught myself
It's, you know, because all the Russian stuff's got stuck in Moscow
I was worried about the little red hiding under my bed
Well, so what got you from Idaho to Oregon then?
(28:50):
A friend died and at the funeral friends from, who had moved to Eugene said you should move
Yeah
It's too small of a town
And they were going to school there or?
They were in Eugene and they said they had a room that I could move into immediately
Yeah
So a month later I moved there
You were there and that was it? Never turned back? You've been in Oregon ever since?
(29:13):
Texas
Oh, Texas. What was the Texas spell like? I don't want to be there for, hot?
About a year
Okay, and what part?
Austin
Austin, I so always wanted to go to Austin
Oh, that's cool. There's not a lot of people from Texas there
That's, okay. I heard it's a little oasis
It is
Yeah, yeah
Beautiful
(29:34):
What did you do in Austin? Just music or just hung out?
Didn't work a day
Wow
I had unemployment from Oregon while I lived in Austin the whole time
Oh, that's a good deal
It was lovely
Yes
Perfect
Yeah, too hot
I've heard about if you can get it just right, get the food stamps, the unemployment
Yeah
Coming from two different states
I guess the baby boomers invented that in the 60s. Did you know that, Rich? I heard that
(29:59):
You know, I've got an Obama phone right there
An Obama phone?
Yeah
Is that like replacing the Google phone or?
That's just what like all the right-wingers got really upset about
Obama phones
Look at those Obama phones
Obama phones
I know they were trying the healthcare thing, but I didn't know he moved into phones
Yeah
Obama phone
I might, you know
(30:20):
Can you at least get the app?
Test it out
Well, you know, I'm, gosh, look at that. The time is flying
Why don't we get some music out of you guys
Yeah
We're going to take a little break here
This is a special short film that was, I don't have time for all of it
We're going to get set up
But this is our, Jamila and I went to Knott's Berry Farm with our friend Dan
(31:10):
They don't advertise for killers like they used to on Craigslist anymore
That's my profession
My name is Bick Dickhart
(31:32):
I'm a replicant runner
Halloween time in Los Angeles, also known as the day of the dead
Protesters, rallies, hippies
Life hasn't really changed much since 1982
I just renewed my prescription of Vicodin after enduring a morning of dental torture
(32:00):
I feel like I'm on drugs
As the nova cane began to wear off, my partner Dan and I decided we'd play hooky from work
And visit a renowned replicant park in Pointe-A-Vista
A new life awaits you in sunny San Diego
(32:28):
Welcome to Westworld
Westworld, huh?
Supposed to be like animatronic humans or something?
Right
In history books, Dan's the type of cop who used to call honkies hot turkeys
At Knott's replicant park, they had more of a western theme going
(32:49):
Replicants of all types
Short, fat, skinny
Hired to do your bidding
Go ahead and be
I suppose in a different time they might have referred to these as brothels or motels
Not that any of that was my problem
(33:10):
Ever since Jemmy left me three years ago
She took everything
The kits, the microwave, the hovercraft
It hasn't really been the same ever since
I guess I thought maybe hooking up with some bimbo replicant was just what this toothache required
Oh, I can do this all day
(33:32):
It's like White River Rapids
Yeah!
I'll tell you, Nad, these replicants are great
This is a new girl I met named Dolores
Hey, Dolores
Hi
See, I was picking up a can that she dropped
This newer model was very lifelike
I'm with my replicant Dolores
(33:55):
We have taken her from Westworld and are now in Bigfoot country
Oh, what a, what a seat that I came off
Anyway, she was very lifelike
What a beautiful day
I love to see the beauty in the world
Still, my heart yearned for the affections of the park's older models, too
I mean, relationships are difficult, you know
(34:17):
It's not easy
It's tough
Replicants are just not giving me what I need
So, I know you don't look like much...
Dolores! Oh my God!
It was a difficult choice to make
Susan, I mean, Dolores or Rachel
She reminded me of Jemmy before things went to hell
(34:42):
My name was Dolores, I loved her
Replicants weren't supposed to have feelings
Then suddenly I noticed something
Wait a minute, this log flume
I've been here before, I've been on this ride
That old prospector, why does he look so familiar to me?
(35:04):
That old prospector, he used to teach me when I was young
So did that guy
Why, I used to run around here as a child
Just who the hell are Dan?
And Dolores or Rachel or Susan?
(35:25):
Wait a minute, how long have I been coming to this park?
It's like some kind of tape loop we're on
This loop must end, Dan is the source of it
We're gonna need to finish this like men
Well, if it isn't Sarsaparilla Dan
(35:46):
I told you I don't like you coming to these parks no more
No, you can't have it, I know where the bushels are
Get a Sarsaparilla out of your teeth, varmint
I never thought I'd come down to this park
Well, I gotta tell you something
Where am I coming from? Why do I come?
(36:13):
I don't know why he saved my life
Not told me Rachel, Susan, Dolores, whatever her name was special
No expiration date
I guess in some ways we're all special
Who knows how long and how long it's gonna take
(36:35):
How long any of us have all got
More time than that guy
(37:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, the Dears Souls
Three, four
One by one the ants go by
And I leave them alone
Seems that they have work to do
And I should be headed home
(37:33):
I cut across the grassy field
And race the setting sun
Then up the stairs and through the door I run
My mother's making apple pie
(38:13):
I ask her for a piece
She pours a glass of ice cold for me
I drink the milk and eat the pie
And wipe my mouth with my sleeve
(38:34):
I see an ant there on the floor
And crush it with my feet
I ask to go up to my room
And for some reason why
I can't fully comprehend
(38:56):
I cry
Whistling
(39:22):
Fabulous, wow, thank you.
Can we get one more? You got one more?
Sure.
Alright, let's hear it, let's hear it.
Dears Souls
(39:44):
We got on our bikes
And raced downhill
We met with our friends
Jovet and Phil
I remember the sleeping of our minds
(40:08):
That night
We loaded our packs
With ice cold beer
We spent in the dark
And disappeared
(40:29):
We rode to a house
That put on shows
I promised a friend
That I would yell
I remember the plans were just alright
(40:55):
That night
We got on our bikes
And raced downhill
(41:21):
We met with our friends
Jovet and Phil
I went out to smoke
And saw her there
(41:44):
Framed by Christmas lights
Glowing in air
I remember asking for a light
That night
(42:08):
I went back inside
To grab a beer
She ghosted the fence
And disappeared
I looked for her
But she was out of sight
(42:34):
That night
Jovet and Phil

Dear Souls
I'm hearing all sorts of things when you play and influences.
Is there some Simon and Garfunkel at all?
Oh, sure. Yeah.
And who else am I hearing in there?
(43:37):
Aside from your own original creations,
but I feel that there's on the shoulders of giants who have built this.
Folk music?
Just, okay.
Any folk music in particular?
Beautiful harmonies.
It must be from the... how many years have you been playing together?
(44:00):
He just started.
Cool.
And I wanted to learn how to sing, so he picked up guitar and I started singing.
Yeah, I'm a bass player.
So you started from bass to guitar just recently?
A couple years ago.
Okay.
But for this band?
For this band.
How was that transition?
It's all right. I don't play a lot. I just kind of pepper it a little bit.
(44:23):
Do you have impulses to do something, like want to go into the space?
Yeah, I always want to kind of thump on it a little bit.
Which in folk music can be good, but also very distracting for a long guitar.
He's a guitarist, so yeah.
And have you always been more of a folk influence or...?
No, I started with metal.
(44:44):
In Moscow, Iowa?
Yeah, Afro, mullet, pimples.
Wow, what kind of metal were you listening to?
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, back in the 80s.
Now, yes, Gen X. All praise to Gen X. I love it.
Did the metal make its way into your guys' stuff?
Yeah, we've had some other songs that...
(45:07):
Definitely some minor...
Gosh, golly. Well, boy, we're getting there. Can you guys give us one more?
This is our dance tune.
Okay, here we go. The Dear Souls, their dance tune.
Do you want to sing with me?
Okay.
(45:29):
Light another will, you dear. Turn up the music, won't you, baby, I can't hear.
They're playing our song, let's both sing along.
The chorus starts right here.
And we sing.
(46:17):
Can you roll your window down?
We passed another nameless, faceless, ghosted town.
It's not on the map that you've got in your lap.
I guess no one's stuck around.
(46:44):
Ease your seat back and I'll pick out the tune.
Look out your window at the light of the moon.
(47:18):
We've got miles and miles to go.
If we drive all night, we might just make it to the show.
We'll meet with our friends and spend a whole weekend.
(47:42):
Cheering for the bands we know and we sing.
(48:12):
I've never felt so tired.
If we get home late, I'd hate to think that I'll be fired.
(48:37):
But oh man, what a show. I'm so glad we could go.
And I'm feeling so inspired.
And we sing.
(49:19):
Holy hell fire! That was great, you guys.
Wow! We're going to take a few commercial breaks here.
(49:44):
We'll be right back to wrap this up.
Thank you, dear souls!
Everybody's been asking me,
Sid, you know, what are you up to?
And you know, I'm always happy to tell them that I've got this great gig promoting crunchy raisin brand cereal.
It's the greatest gig of all.
Not only do I love the stuff, I don't think a lot of spokespeople really love what they're promoting.
(50:08):
I mean, I think it's obvious.
You can tell. But for me, I love it.
And they say, but Sid, you got this great gig.
But don't you miss, don't you miss those days, those days of the cocaine and the prostitutes and the motel rooms?
And I got to say, you know what? I don't.
(50:31):
Because I got this great gig.
I'm getting paid to talk about cereal.
I'm getting paid to eat cereal.
In the old days, the rooms were always so damn cold.
You had to have two bodies next to yours to keep from freezing.
(50:52):
Guys, look, you know, I told you we should have just, just kept going.
We should have done all three of the commercials at once because, you know, then we take that lunch break after the first two.
I'm not feeling well. I don't know what I ate.
You know, it wasn't crunchy raisin bread because if I ate crunchy raisin bread, I would feel really good.
(51:20):
But excuse me, guys, you can maybe cut that out because I'm not feeling it.
I'm feeling terrible. But let me just throw this out.
You know, crunchy raisin bread is awesome.
(51:41):
Better with each bite. It's delicious.
And I'm telling you, and you know it, if you've ever had one bite, you haven't stopped eating it.
You're like me. You're eating it, eating it, eating it.
How many times a week do you go to the store for crunchy raisin bread?
After 47 years, it's time to close Dot's Decorative Squash Store.
(52:08):
We suffered through a disastrous squash crop this year, which made us realize it was time to hang it up.
The good news is everything will be on sale.
75 percent off.
We have very little decorative squash for sure, but we still have books, gardening supplies, and more all for sale.
(52:38):
We're sad to be closing our doors, but as they say in the decorative squash business, all good things must come to an end.
Hello, Dot's Decorative Squash. Dottie speaking.
(52:59):
Oh boy, I'll tell ya. I tell ya, I love me some deer soles. That was just very heartwarming and very sweet.
It's been a busy season this year. We got Halloween coming up.
(53:21):
I'd just like to point out at Halloween time how efficiently our city runs with the city councilor system.
It actually started in Galveston, Texas. I don't know whose bright idea it was to hang on to that,
but something makes me suspect that the mayor, Ted Wheeler, might have the propensity to change it if he can only...
(53:46):
Oh hi honey. How are you doing? My wife, Jamila, is here. Say hi to the lovely audience.
Say good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(54:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(54:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.

One day
The sun went down
I heard the radio
I missed you
I tried to move on
But being there was a singer
I looked right away
(03:52):
I missed you
I missed you
And I'm running down a dream
That it would come away
Working on a mystery
Going where everybody's
Running down a dream
(04:18):
I feel so good
Like anything that's possible
I hit a crazy stroke
With all my might
And I see the news
That the limits of the sun are old
It is always cold
And there's so much shadow
(04:42):
And I'm running down a dream
That it would come away
Working on a mystery
Going where everybody's
Running down a dream
(05:24):
Yeah, it's a wide open
And even when you're tonight
I'll take you on a moonlight ride
(05:54):
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
(06:17):
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
If you keep
(06:40):
People come, people go
Some grow young, and some grow old
I was up in between
A dream and a dream
(07:06):
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(07:55):
My old man was built to rock
He's still trying to beat the clock
Think of me, what you heard
I've got a little space to build
(08:16):
It's a gift to the point
We had a stroke another time
And it's taking all out
So well, we've had
And you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(08:38):
If you keep
People come, people go
Some grow young, and some grow old
Oh, you don't know how it feels
To be me
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
Oh, you don't know how it feels
(09:01):
If you keep
(09:24):
We are 27 years away
From the planet blowing us away
If you really don't want to stay
We'll float off in the Milky Way
(09:45):
As we pass an aboriginal land
Where we kind of really understand
That the truth of our mission
Is to peel off the division
Join our massive revolution band
(10:18):
Well, the status quo just can't stay
It's gotta go the hell away
Well, I tried to give me some peace today
But the future sees how far away we're
We're a massive revolution band
(10:39):
We're just trying to really understand
That the truth of our mission
Is to peel off the division
Join our massive revolution band
(11:12):
And, and we're back
We're back
And, yeah, yes we are
Rich, I've been out of town, Steve
It's so good to see the both of you
I missed you guys
Great to be back on the air here
Yeah, yeah, how'd it go while I was gone?
(11:35):
I tried to, I called in and we got interrupted or separated
I had like a whole other spiel I was gonna do
And I got cut off by that host
Right, right, no, it was pretty solid
He was nice, yeah
He was a cool cat, you know
You can't beat those Minnesota gentlemen
Yeah
You know
Well, they put something weird in the milk out there in the Midwest
(11:56):
Well, you guys told me ahead of the show that he was a sound guy
Yes
And I have to concede that that was my experience the entire time
He was a sound guy
And sound, pragmatic, yes
Absolutely reliable, ethical
Yep, yep
And boy, I'm very, in fact, we, I don't know if you've noticed
But Trench Digger's doing some major retooling
(12:20):
I guess the adpocalypse that they're talking about on YouTube is affecting our program too
David is, I think maybe next episode he might have more info
We might be getting a Patreon together
But we're having a really hard time keeping our sponsorship
And we want to point out the good sponsors that we've had over the couple years here have been great
(12:43):
And if you're interested in sponsoring the show, visit trenchdigging at gmail.com
And we can hook you up, man
Like all sorts of things, we advertise anything
Because it's adpocalypse
Anyway, on that note, we're also, I had some memos I was given
On this whole YouTube thing that we do here, there's a delay
(13:08):
But yeah, see this thing? It's called chat
Oh
You guys heard of that?
Yeah
It's like, you can, I'm gonna go ahead and try and try this
I'm gonna make a little emoji maybe
Okay
I think that's how it works, did I do it?
Oh yeah, look at that
I can do all that and boom, yes!
I've just officially chatted on our YouTube
(13:32):
So I guess this is something Trench Digger wants us to submit questions every now and then
To get viewership
And they had a list of questions for me
I'm supposed to do this
Well I got a question for Trench Digger myself
Yes, I do, I have a lot, what is it?
Well, I heard they cut covering the cost of birth control for all the female employees, is that true?
(14:00):
It's actually, it's not true, the birth control is still available
It's just that both our male and female employees have kind of aged out of the birth control process
Oh, is that what's going on? I thought they were taking advantage of that
It's real weird, the men too, I feel like there might be something in the pipes
(14:21):
But everyone, no kids, no child philosophy at Trench Digger
Well, you know, I've seen children raised by people in the media
And you wouldn't like how they turn out
I have no idea what that would be
I do have these questions, the first question they had that we are supposed to get feedback on
Question number one
(14:42):
Certainly
We love watching your program, especially the guest host, who are your favorite hosts?
I don't, is that, that doesn't seem like an appropriate question to comment on
Who's favorite hosts?
Oh, we got, but best of all, we have, the Dears Souls are here, they're thrashing the green room right now as I speak
(15:10):
It's going to be very exciting, so we should probably move along to that
But I did want to get your impression on the political situation, Rich
What the heck is going on?
I don't know, I mean, they're probably going to get a couple of guys in trouble, but the overall power structure will remain intact
(15:31):
That's my best guess
It seems familiar, there's all these, there's just so much news, it's really hard to cover
Oh, what's that? We got a phone call, we got a phone call
Hello?
Oh, Julian Assange, it's our buddy Julian Assange is back
(15:52):
Whose buddy?
He has a direct link with, I guess, this guy Paul Manafort is in the news
We're going to get a live link of Paul Manafort, thank you Julian, hang on a second
As long as Julian knows that suddenly sexual assault and harassment is no longer cool in our society, is Julian clear on that?
(16:13):
Like, it's not just a problem in Sweden, it's a problem over here now too, for like three weeks
I thought that was a hurricane of stuff going on
No, it's just suddenly not cool, like it was cool for like 241 years, but now
It was really cool in the 80s, it seemed like, the 80s and 90s
(16:34):
But just so Julian knows, like, he's got to behave himself if he's coming back over
Well, I'll see if I can, he's gone, it's so hard, you know, and you can't like, star 69 them
Because they got all their different
He loves star 69, he always found that hilarious
Yeah, it's a cool number
But yeah, so Paul Manafort is here with a special download link, we're going to take a look
(16:57):
And Paul, Paul, can you talk to us for a minute?
I've been advised not to talk about Trump's golf game
Oh, well, okay, I guess we kind of pulled a funny on you
We don't have Paul Manafort, we have Steve here, who is doing the voice of Paul Manafort
(17:23):
But it's true, you did talk to Paul, and he had nothing to say about what's going on
Other than, don't talk about the golf game
Yeah, don't talk about the golf
No, I heard he's, the President's good at golf
At least as good and fast and able as Taft was
(17:46):
Taft was a heck of a golfer too, you know
Isn't he the one that got stuck in the bathtub, isn't he?
The current, or the, no, okay
Anyway, I know we had a special bathtub made of gold, the gold throne
You know what, speaking of Adpocalypse, we've got some bills to pay
(18:08):
We're going to take a break, but when we come right back, we're going to bring in the Deersouls
I'm so excited, they are here for the rest of the hour, and we're going to have some fun
They're going to play live in the studio, when we come back
That was the President Revolution Band Variety Hour, thanks for watching
After 47 years, it's time to close Dot's Decorative Squash Store
(18:35):
We suffered through a disastrous squash crop this year, which made us realize it was time to hang it up
The good news is everything will be on sale
75% off
We have very little decorative squash for sure
(18:57):
But we still have books, gardening supplies, and more, all for sale
We're sad to be closing our doors, but as they say in the decorative squash business
All good things must come to an end
Hello, Dot's Decorative Squash, Dotty speaking
(19:23):
You've all heard me talk about crunchy raisin bran cereal and how much I love it
Now, you know, I tend to just eat bowl after bowl after bowl, which eventually becomes a box
Which eventually becomes some more bowls out of another box
(19:44):
And pretty soon, you know, I'm going back to the store to get more crunchy raisin bran
Because I just can't stop eating it
It's incredible, and you know, I think the secret is it's better with each bite
And I tell you what, I think that's got to be the new slogan
(20:06):
I'm hoping somebody who's listening to this right now is writing it down
And that's the new slogan for crunchy raisin bran because it is better with each bite
And I'm not saying each bowl or each box
I'm saying each bite is better than the other
(20:30):
Ladies and gentlemen, we got us some deer souls, yeah!
Yeah!
Alright, please have a seat, you guys
(20:52):
Thank you so much
Wow
Hi
Watch the mic in your back
Oh gosh, we can do something with that
Yeah, put it in my back
Give it to you
Yeah, man, how was your trip over here?
Well, we got lost
Yeah?
Alberta can be that street
(21:14):
Which street did you take?
30 seconds
30 seconds, see that is, I wish there were more people like you
Because everyone takes the other one
This is the busiest street ever
Yeah, there's lots of parking, I've walked over
Exactly, it's so obvious, I know
But everyone's like, oh I missed it, I missed it
So they never go left
But, well so, Kevin and David, is that what I've got?
(21:37):
Or David and Kevin?
Carl
Carl, God, I lost it already
Carl, I'm Jeff, it's nice to meet you
And David, I feel like we've maybe worked before together maybe
Do you play around town?
Uh, a little bit
Okay
I do sound with, I see you guys both are familiar with our host from last month, Scott
(22:02):
Yeah
Yeah, so how do you all know each other?
John Henrys
Yeah, John Henrys
John Henrys
Back in Eugene, Oregon
Wow, so that goes way back, so did you two do John Henrys together way back?
Yeah, we were all there
Okay, okay, well let's get into it
How did you two meet?
What is the Carl David story?
(22:24):
Yes
What was that, New Year's Eve?
No, what?
When I was wasted and fell on top of that girl
No, that was at a Whiskey Town show
Whiskey Town
Ryan Adams Band
Yeah
Had good times
Had good times
I remember good times, yeah
And we didn't get off on the best foot
I fell on top of one of his girlfriends
(22:47):
And then at the end of the night, everyone cleared out and I was all of a sudden alone
So I went into the parking lot, I wanted to go to the party and I saw a little truck
And I was like, hey man, where's the party?
And Diesel, like, you, and drives away
That was my first impression
Wow, that's such a classic musical story
It gets better
(23:08):
Then I'm asked to play guitar in this band that's going to tour
And they lose their guitar player last minute
And Bruce said, can you play, we're going on tour, the tour's booked
And I'm like, no problem, and I show up
He's the bass player, but he doesn't recognize me
So I'm like, oh, it's that one guy
And we went on tour
(23:29):
And this is all immediately at that point?
Yeah
Okay
We go on tour, he still doesn't recognize me
So we're partying together, I'm like, you don't remember me, do you?
I'm like, I'm that guy from good times
They're like instant best friends on tour
How long had it been since the good times incident and the tour?
Not long
Okay
Six months
(23:50):
I just have poor memories
And what was the tour, where was that?
Southwest with Mechs Pistols
Okay, Mechs Pistols
I know Scott has a relationship with Bruce, I believe, too
Oh, yeah
He saw old John Henry stuff, right?
Yep
Well, so how many years did you play in Eugene then?
(24:12):
Or did you play together at that point, or was that the beginning?
Yeah
The first time you played together, the tour was
That's, yeah
And ever since, you've had a thing, a thing going
We played in different bands
Yeah, a bunch of different bands
We just got rid of the bands and it's us
Okay, okay
And so when did Dear Souls origin pop in?
(24:36):
We got that together for a friend's wedding
We just put a couple songs together and debuted it
Jeff Unger
Oh, that's right
Yeah, that was Eugene Connection as well
Uh-huh, was that up here in Portland at that point?
So, Dear Souls is a Portland band
Oh, yeah, definitely
Were there any less pleasant experiences in Eugene?
(25:01):
Or the bands that didn't work out, those are always fun
Yeah
Was it a
All of them
You guys worked No One Else Would, is that?
Or was there some good
Was there a good run with one of them somewhere in there, a little three week run
It was good enough
Yeah, I think this might happen
Those tours were pretty fun
Yeah, those were great
The tours were good
Completely funded for DMs
(25:23):
They paid our rent when we were gone
Yeah
That's crazy
Wow
Our rent, which was like a hundred bucks at the time
Oh man, I remember those days
Yeah, was that a record label then at that point?
There was one out of San Francisco, I think
Is any of your past works available online or in those
(25:47):
Sure
Okay, should I throw some band names out there if anyone wants to look?
Former Dear Souls work, the early years
Max Pistols
Max Pistols
Cocaine Unicorn
Cocaine Unicorn
Best name ever
That is, what happened to Cocaine Unicorn?
Yeah, it druds
I should be singing a song about that tonight
(26:08):
I should have known, I should have known it was right there
Okay, good, it evolved into a work that you have tonight
That's great, let's see, well, did you go to school in Eugene?
Were the two of you down there at the UFO or were you just hanging out?
He got his GED there
Okay, sure
I grew up there
(26:29):
Okay, why? South Eugene High?
I went to North Eugene and Sheldon
North and Sheldon
I would have gone to Sheldon
Okay
Yeah
And then you moved to Salem
I moved to Salem
But you started there in Eugene
Oh, sure
What year was it?
86, my sister was class of 86 at Sheldon
She actually took acid for the first time on the school bus
(26:52):
It was like that kind of 80s
Right
Oh yeah
That's interesting, because our old friend Dan had a roommate that used to sell acid
and he was down there at South Eugene High
He got through
You know I always want to go to South Eugene, that's where all the cool kids were
He was pretty cool
Yeah, totally, definitely
Yeah
Wait, now was it the river that separated the cool kids from the bad kids?
(27:16):
Or is it more like an east-west thing?
Well, was it south?
South north
South and everyone else
It was the social capital thing
Well, the south has the hills, doesn't it?
All of the like
Skinner's Butte and stuff
All the like country fair royalty, all those kids that went to south and all the professors' kids went
Right
Three degrees of separation from Ken Kesey family and stuff
(27:40):
All those kids all went to Pleasant Hill
They were all Pleasant Hill hillbillies
Anyway, back to these guys
Sorry to interrupt with some emerald empire trivia
So you grew up in, not Eugene
In Moscow, Idaho
Oh, okay, so Idahoan
Idahoan
That's the built to spill kids are from there, aren't they?
(28:03):
Southern Idaho
Okay
Now what was life like in Moscow?
College town, 16,000 people, beer and trucks
My wife Jamila grew up in Pullman or went to high school there
Oh yeah, that's eight miles away
That's similar cultures, isn't it?
Absolutely
So what was the overlap? Was there a rivalry even between Moscow and Pullman?
(28:28):
Football
It's Moscow, not Moscow
Moscow
Moscow, I caught myself
It's, you know, because all the Russian stuff's got stuck in Moscow
I was worried about the little red hiding under my bed
Well, so what got you from Idaho to Oregon then?
(28:50):
A friend died and at the funeral friends from, who had moved to Eugene said you should move
Yeah
It's too small of a town
And they were going to school there or?
They were in Eugene and they said they had a room that I could move into immediately
Yeah
So a month later I moved there
You were there and that was it? Never turned back? You've been in Oregon ever since?
(29:13):
Texas
Oh, Texas. What was the Texas spell like? I don't want to be there for, hot?
About a year
Okay, and what part?
Austin
Austin, I so always wanted to go to Austin
Oh, that's cool. There's not a lot of people from Texas there
That's, okay. I heard it's a little oasis
It is
Yeah, yeah
Beautiful
(29:34):
What did you do in Austin? Just music or just hung out?
Didn't work a day
Wow
I had unemployment from Oregon while I lived in Austin the whole time
Oh, that's a good deal
It was lovely
Yes
Perfect
Yeah, too hot
I've heard about if you can get it just right, get the food stamps, the unemployment
Yeah
Coming from two different states
I guess the baby boomers invented that in the 60s. Did you know that, Rich? I heard that
(29:59):
You know, I've got an Obama phone right there
An Obama phone?
Yeah
Is that like replacing the Google phone or?
That's just what like all the right-wingers got really upset about
Obama phones
Look at those Obama phones
Obama phones
I know they were trying the healthcare thing, but I didn't know he moved into phones
Yeah
Obama phone
I might, you know
(30:20):
Can you at least get the app?
Test it out
Well, you know, I'm, gosh, look at that. The time is flying
Why don't we get some music out of you guys
Yeah
We're going to take a little break here
This is a special short film that was, I don't have time for all of it
We're going to get set up
But this is our, Jamila and I went to Knott's Berry Farm with our friend Dan
(31:10):
They don't advertise for killers like they used to on Craigslist anymore
That's my profession
My name is Bick Dickhart
(31:32):
I'm a replicant runner
Halloween time in Los Angeles, also known as the day of the dead
Protesters, rallies, hippies
Life hasn't really changed much since 1982
I just renewed my prescription of Vicodin after enduring a morning of dental torture
(32:00):
I feel like I'm on drugs
As the nova cane began to wear off, my partner Dan and I decided we'd play hooky from work
And visit a renowned replicant park in Pointe-A-Vista
A new life awaits you in sunny San Diego
(32:28):
Welcome to Westworld
Westworld, huh?
Supposed to be like animatronic humans or something?
Right
In history books, Dan's the type of cop who used to call honkies hot turkeys
At Knott's replicant park, they had more of a western theme going
(32:49):
Replicants of all types
Short, fat, skinny
Hired to do your bidding
Go ahead and be
I suppose in a different time they might have referred to these as brothels or motels
Not that any of that was my problem
(33:10):
Ever since Jemmy left me three years ago
She took everything
The kits, the microwave, the hovercraft
It hasn't really been the same ever since
I guess I thought maybe hooking up with some bimbo replicant was just what this toothache required
Oh, I can do this all day
(33:32):
It's like White River Rapids
Yeah!
I'll tell you, Nad, these replicants are great
This is a new girl I met named Dolores
Hey, Dolores
Hi
See, I was picking up a can that she dropped
This newer model was very lifelike
I'm with my replicant Dolores
(33:55):
We have taken her from Westworld and are now in Bigfoot country
Oh, what a, what a seat that I came off
Anyway, she was very lifelike
What a beautiful day
I love to see the beauty in the world
Still, my heart yearned for the affections of the park's older models, too
I mean, relationships are difficult, you know
(34:17):
It's not easy
It's tough
Replicants are just not giving me what I need
So, I know you don't look like much...
Dolores! Oh my God!
It was a difficult choice to make
Susan, I mean, Dolores or Rachel
She reminded me of Jemmy before things went to hell
(34:42):
My name was Dolores, I loved her
Replicants weren't supposed to have feelings
Then suddenly I noticed something
Wait a minute, this log flume
I've been here before, I've been on this ride
That old prospector, why does he look so familiar to me?
(35:04):
That old prospector, he used to teach me when I was young
So did that guy
Why, I used to run around here as a child
Just who the hell are Dan?
And Dolores or Rachel or Susan?
(35:25):
Wait a minute, how long have I been coming to this park?
It's like some kind of tape loop we're on
This loop must end, Dan is the source of it
We're gonna need to finish this like men
Well, if it isn't Sarsaparilla Dan
(35:46):
I told you I don't like you coming to these parks no more
No, you can't have it, I know where the bushels are
Get a Sarsaparilla out of your teeth, varmint
I never thought I'd come down to this park
Well, I gotta tell you something
Where am I coming from? Why do I come?
(36:13):
I don't know why he saved my life
Not told me Rachel, Susan, Dolores, whatever her name was special
No expiration date
I guess in some ways we're all special
Who knows how long and how long it's gonna take
(36:35):
How long any of us have all got
More time than that guy
(37:09):
Ladies and gentlemen, the Dears Souls
Three, four
One by one the ants go by
And I leave them alone
Seems that they have work to do
And I should be headed home
(37:33):
I cut across the grassy field
And race the setting sun
Then up the stairs and through the door I run
My mother's making apple pie
(38:13):
I ask her for a piece
She pours a glass of ice cold for me
I drink the milk and eat the pie
And wipe my mouth with my sleeve
(38:34):
I see an ant there on the floor
And crush it with my feet
I ask to go up to my room
And for some reason why
I can't fully comprehend
(38:56):
I cry
Whistling
(39:22):
Fabulous, wow, thank you.
Can we get one more? You got one more?
Sure.
Alright, let's hear it, let's hear it.
Dears Souls
(39:44):
We got on our bikes
And raced downhill
We met with our friends
Jovet and Phil
I remember the sleeping of our minds
(40:08):
That night
We loaded our packs
With ice cold beer
We spent in the dark
And disappeared
(40:29):
We rode to a house
That put on shows
I promised a friend
That I would yell
I remember the plans were just alright
(40:55):
That night
We got on our bikes
And raced downhill
(41:21):
We met with our friends
Jovet and Phil
I went out to smoke
And saw her there
(41:44):
Framed by Christmas lights
Glowing in air
I remember asking for a light
That night
(42:08):
I went back inside
To grab a beer
She ghosted the fence
And disappeared
I looked for her
But she was out of sight
(42:34):
That night
Jovet and Phil
(43:13):
Bandcamp
Dear Souls
I'm hearing all sorts of things when you play and influences.
Is there some Simon and Garfunkel at all?
Oh, sure. Yeah.
And who else am I hearing in there?
(43:37):
Aside from your own original creations,
but I feel that there's on the shoulders of giants who have built this.
Folk music?
Just, okay.
Any folk music in particular?
Beautiful harmonies.
It must be from the... how many years have you been playing together?
(44:00):
He just started.
Cool.
And I wanted to learn how to sing, so he picked up guitar and I started singing.
Yeah, I'm a bass player.
So you started from bass to guitar just recently?
A couple years ago.
Okay.
But for this band?
For this band.
How was that transition?
It's all right. I don't play a lot. I just kind of pepper it a little bit.
(44:23):
Do you have impulses to do something, like want to go into the space?
Yeah, I always want to kind of thump on it a little bit.
Which in folk music can be good, but also very distracting for a long guitar.
He's a guitarist, so yeah.
And have you always been more of a folk influence or...?
No, I started with metal.
(44:44):
In Moscow, Iowa?
Yeah, Afro, mullet, pimples.
Wow, what kind of metal were you listening to?
Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, back in the 80s.
Now, yes, Gen X. All praise to Gen X. I love it.
Did the metal make its way into your guys' stuff?
Yeah, we've had some other songs that...
(45:07):
Definitely some minor...
Gosh, golly. Well, boy, we're getting there. Can you guys give us one more?
This is our dance tune.
Okay, here we go. The Dear Souls, their dance tune.
Do you want to sing with me?
Okay.
(45:29):
Light another will, you dear. Turn up the music, won't you, baby, I can't hear.
They're playing our song, let's both sing along.
The chorus starts right here.
And we sing.
(46:17):
Can you roll your window down?
We passed another nameless, faceless, ghosted town.
It's not on the map that you've got in your lap.
I guess no one's stuck around.
(46:44):
Ease your seat back and I'll pick out the tune.
Look out your window at the light of the moon.
(47:18):
We've got miles and miles to go.
If we drive all night, we might just make it to the show.
We'll meet with our friends and spend a whole weekend.
(47:42):
Cheering for the bands we know and we sing.
(48:12):
I've never felt so tired.
If we get home late, I'd hate to think that I'll be fired.
(48:37):
But oh man, what a show. I'm so glad we could go.
And I'm feeling so inspired.
And we sing.
(49:19):
Holy hell fire! That was great, you guys.
Wow! We're going to take a few commercial breaks here.
(49:44):
We'll be right back to wrap this up.
Thank you, dear souls!
Everybody's been asking me,
Sid, you know, what are you up to?
And you know, I'm always happy to tell them that I've got this great gig promoting crunchy raisin brand cereal.
It's the greatest gig of all.
Not only do I love the stuff, I don't think a lot of spokespeople really love what they're promoting.
(50:08):
I mean, I think it's obvious.
You can tell. But for me, I love it.
And they say, but Sid, you got this great gig.
But don't you miss, don't you miss those days, those days of the cocaine and the prostitutes and the motel rooms?
And I got to say, you know what? I don't.
(50:31):
Because I got this great gig.
I'm getting paid to talk about cereal.
I'm getting paid to eat cereal.
In the old days, the rooms were always so damn cold.
You had to have two bodies next to yours to keep from freezing.
(50:52):
Guys, look, you know, I told you we should have just, just kept going.
We should have done all three of the commercials at once because, you know, then we take that lunch break after the first two.
I'm not feeling well. I don't know what I ate.
You know, it wasn't crunchy raisin bread because if I ate crunchy raisin bread, I would feel really good.
(51:20):
But excuse me, guys, you can maybe cut that out because I'm not feeling it.
I'm feeling terrible. But let me just throw this out.
You know, crunchy raisin bread is awesome.
(51:41):
Better with each bite. It's delicious.
And I'm telling you, and you know it, if you've ever had one bite, you haven't stopped eating it.
You're like me. You're eating it, eating it, eating it.
How many times a week do you go to the store for crunchy raisin bread?
After 47 years, it's time to close Dot's Decorative Squash Store.
(52:08):
We suffered through a disastrous squash crop this year, which made us realize it was time to hang it up.
The good news is everything will be on sale.
75 percent off.
We have very little decorative squash for sure, but we still have books, gardening supplies, and more all for sale.
(52:38):
We're sad to be closing our doors, but as they say in the decorative squash business, all good things must come to an end.
Hello, Dot's Decorative Squash. Dottie speaking.
(52:59):
Oh boy, I'll tell ya. I tell ya, I love me some deer soles. That was just very heartwarming and very sweet.
It's been a busy season this year. We got Halloween coming up.
(53:21):
I'd just like to point out at Halloween time how efficiently our city runs with the city councilor system.
It actually started in Galveston, Texas. I don't know whose bright idea it was to hang on to that,
but something makes me suspect that the mayor, Ted Wheeler, might have the propensity to change it if he can only...
(53:46):
Oh hi honey. How are you doing? My wife, Jamila, is here. Say hi to the lovely audience.
Say good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(54:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(54:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(55:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(55:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(56:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(56:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(57:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(57:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(58:26):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
(58:56):
Good night, Jeff.
Good night, Jeff.
