Get us driving around.
It's sure a pretty day out here.
Pretty good day for a green screen.
Oh!
What?
Did I just hear something on the CB there?
Yeah, I'm sorry son, I was just hooking you up.
(00:32):
Well that smells like a Smoky.
Do I smell?
No, it ain't no Smoky.
I think I smell bacon.
Yeah, you're burning your bacon right now.
Well now listen Smoky, I need to get this beer all to Tex Art Canada.
Do you think you can help me with that?
Well now I'm here to interrupt that son.
(00:52):
I'm here to shut you down and I'm going to pull you over.
Well that doesn't seem like a kind thing to do.
We're on our way to Atlanta.
I thought you were going to Arkansas.
Well I got back from Arkansas and now I'm going to Atlanta.
You got a problem with that?
Well I'm going to shut you down.

This rabbit done garden the hen house.
It's guarding the rabbits, it's guarding the chickens, it's guarding the eggs, okay?
That's what this rabbit's doing here.
Alright, alright.
(01:34):
Woah!
Fancy little solo bride out there wandering the streets by herself.
I wonder if she needs a ride?
Hey there, ma'am.
Hey, there's a handsome looking little lady right there.
Well, the name is Bert, that's right.
Good guess.
I didn't know how you knew me.
I've never seen you before in my life.
(01:57):
Well, um...
You have such beautiful legs.
Thank you.
It's a good thing we're driving in England, because otherwise I'd be on that side of the wheel.
But we're in London now, and oh my goodness, this cop is still...
I'm on your ass. I am gonna get you, bitch.
(02:18):
I am on your ass. I'm coming up on you, come on, come on.
I'm coming home. I'm coming home.
Coming home.
Now I got me this runaway bride.
Now where are you?
I'll tell you...
It just makes me feel like... I gotta get back.
Is she a sister?
She's uh... It's over the state lines, it's all good now.
(02:40):
You can talk to J. Edgar about that.
We're going to talk about heading west.
Everyone go westbound? Let's do some westbound.
Uh huh. Come out a little westbound.
Let's get westbound and down.
Hey, do you have a guitar around?
Why?
That might help.
(03:01):
I do.
Well, I'm done.
That's the best thing in the world.
You gotta go home for you now.
Let's get a little guitar action on here.
Come on now.
And... westbound...
I kinda like that. I kinda like that.
It's uh...
(03:22):
And down...
It's a little tune that goes out to our friend Bert.
Fu-fu!
(03:45):
We're all the way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
You thought we were on the middle zone
But we're on the mix
Let it all hang out cause we got a run in big
No one's gonna stay in the house
And we're gonna play with spirit and text all day long
(04:08):
We're way back in the battle world
It's a game of speed
It's fast and down
It's a game of speed
We're way back in the battle world
It's a game of speed
It's a game of speed
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
(04:53):
We're way back in the battle world
(05:15):
It's fast and down
18 wheels rolling
We're gonna do this, it can't be done
We got a long way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
We're so pissed off at his name
He's part of our own tree
(05:37):
He ain't gonna fail, he ain't gonna kick
So we got the cards and we got the stuff
Oh, we got that diesel truck in the back
It's a little bit of a ride in heaven, yeah
It's a game of speed
It's a game of speed
We're gonna do this, it can't be done
(05:58):
We got a long way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
We're so pissed off at his name
(06:29):
We are 27 years away
From the planet blowing us away
If you really don't want to stay
We'll let you float off in the Milky Way
As we run past an evolution plan
When it's time to really understand
(06:53):
And the truth of our mission
Is to kneel under the vision
And join our hands and stand
And kneel under the vision
Join our hands and revolution band
(07:23):
Well, the status quo just can't stay
We gotta go get the hell away
Well, I tried to get me some peace today
But the future seems so far away
We're against an evolution plan
When it's time to really understand
(07:47):
And the truth of our mission
Is to flee under the vision
And join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
(08:09):
Join our hands and revolution band
Yeah.
Funky shitter.
Yeah, it was a very funky shitter.
Which, is the shitter in Salem?
No, Red Bone.
Red Bone.
(08:30):
Yeah.
I haven't been there.
But I found...
I bet Stu knows him, because he knows everybody.
A Red Bone, it sounds familiar.
Yeah.
I once saw it in the...
We were doing a gig in Salem
And it said on the bathroom wall,
Jeff Dodge sucks.
It was like the...
Oh, we're back!
(08:50):
Hey everybody, we're back.
Welcome to the show.
It's so good to have you.
We've been...
We've been going through some major changes here
at the Trench Digger Productions recording studios.
There's kind of some tasseling over sponsorship.
We're still working with the Russians,
(09:11):
but there's actually been some Paraguayans
that are interested in sponsoring some things.
Okay.
And...
Spitting wars.
Well, yeah, yeah.
And I like to diversify,
spread our love around the universe there.
So, anyway, we're going to be going through
(09:33):
a few different looks until we get to Season 4
and working it out.
There's been a whole lot of news lately.
Sure.
Have any of you guys been following
this Supreme Court justice stuff?
Yeah.
Yeah, it makes it look like guys your age
are just a bunch of dicks.
Oh, because of the Clarence Thomas pubic story?
(09:57):
Is that what you're talking about?
No, there's another thing going on,
but I guess we really can't make jokes about it.
But...
I...
Pubic hair is nothing to joke about.
That's true.
It's disgusting, and you find it everywhere.
You know, your hamburgers when you're eating.
Well, you're a sound guy.
I quit eating hamburgers because of too many pubic...
I didn't know that.
Okay.
Yeah, years ago.
All right.
I was in high school, and Steve and I...
(10:19):
I don't know if you knew this, Rich,
but Steve and I were actually biology partners
in high school.
Is that right?
Yes, we were lab partners,
and we had to cut up the fetal pig.
Did you get fetal pigs?
That was an 80s thing.
No.
They switched the frogs on you.
Didn't you guys go to Catholic school, though?
Yes.
So did they abort a pig for you guys to do that?
(10:41):
No, that would be sacrilegious.
So they would let the kids become of, like,
the piglet, I should say, would get to, like,
about the ripe age of three months,
and then they would take it to an altar
and see if God would stop them from killing them.
And usually it did it, and then we'd get a fetal pig.
So the pig's father was Abraham?
Abrahamic, yes.
(11:02):
Abrahamic pigs, we used to call it.
Oh, wow.
Point is, I had to slice the pubic bone.
Do you remember that, Steve?
It was very...
Abraham's brother.
The only time I haven't heard of pubic hair is pubic bone,
and both of them make me very uncomfortable.
So on that note, yes, the Kavanaugh's a Catholic kid, isn't he?
Yeah. Yeah.
(11:24):
Yeah.
So there you go, 80s?
80s Catholic kids, yeah.
I don't know of a more dangerous pack of guys
I wouldn't want to run into on a Friday or Saturday night, you know?
Yeah, I know, especially with all those movies I watched
from the John Hughes stuff to the Karate Kid movies.
I mean, they really nailed these kind of white guys from that period.
And what was bigger was there's really a more accurate portrayal,
(11:49):
I think, of the times, because it was very glossy.
They used smear Vaseline on the outside of the lenses and stuff.
Sure.
And everything's happy, but it was more...
That 80s period was more, from my recollection, like Boogie Nights.
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Oh, sure, sure.
When Dirk Diggler is down on his luck,
and he's getting paid to do things.
(12:11):
Right, and then they beat him up.
And then they pay him and then they beat him up and take their money back.
And then they play some ELO and he makes his way back.
And who takes him back in?
He did things he didn't want to do.
Tim...Weatherspoon? No. Tim Meadows.
No, that's the wrong movie.
Yeah.
I was thinking...
(12:33):
Actually, who was it? Was it Jack? Was that his name?
Little Jack Horner, played by your...
Yes, and that brings us back to Burt.
He did take him in, but on certain conditions.
Just like Henry Hill, he sold him out.
Broke those rules.
But yeah, Burt Reynolds.
Now there's a guy.
Art Hero. Gen X Hero, for sure.
(12:57):
But then it's one of those things.
His car had the Confederate license plate, I was noticing the other day.
It's not the Union Jack, they just call it the Confederate flag.
The Stars and Bars.
Right.
But he was from Florida.
(13:18):
Was he from Florida?
Yeah, he played football.
He was almost heading to the NFL.
So he was a very good old Southern boy.
He was injured and then had to become a famous actor.
Right.
It's a great trade off.
He admired his career for its ups and downs.
Peaks and valleys and everything.
(13:40):
I liked his chest hair.
The chest hair was pretty good.
It was an inspiration to me.
Do you have a lot of chest hair?
Sadly, yeah.
I've been getting some negative feedback at work on these super hot days
when I choose not to wear an undershirt.
And kind of let that button down.
Not making a lot of sales on those pants.
(14:03):
I was nine years old.
It was very disruptive.
Dang.
I've been dealing with this for a while.
Maybe Burt is not the best icon for everybody.
For those of us chest hair challenged on the other side.
It became really popular not to have any chest hair whatsoever.
(14:25):
You notice that?
Oh yeah.
That's not going to do any good.
I did an interview when I was in high school.
Which would have been several years after you guys, of course.
This is about 1993 or so.
He did some Good Morning America interview.
He came out and he was wearing a blazer that was too small.
His pants were basically held shut by his belt.
(14:48):
Nothing was exposed, but you could see he couldn't fit into his pants.
This was probably about halfway between a movie called Switching Channels.
Which was him with Christopher Reeve and Kathleen Turner.
About halfway between that and Boogie Nights.
They made fun of him.
There was no real internet back then.
Although I guess the kids in Alaska up there on whatever internet they had,
(15:10):
maybe they made fun of him that way.
Speaking of Alaska, we have a special guest with us tonight.
They had the internet way before anybody else.
I think they had HBO too.
No, I think they got it ahead of time.
According to Sarah Palin...
Where are you from up there?
Downtown.
(15:31):
Oh, downtown Anchorage?
Yeah.
Like the streets?
Hardcore.
Oh, I knew it.
You know, upper middle class hardcore.
Right, right.
It was tough.
Oh, it's our lawyer.
Our lawyer is calling here.
Is Alaska suing us now?
Yeah, it's our lawyer Michael Cohen.
(15:54):
Remember we got cut off from him last episode.
Michael Cohen.
Yeah, we wanted to talk to you because things have been seeming pretty dicey.
How are you, Michael?
Aw, so wonderful.
Thanks for having me again here.
This is Rex Tillerson.
Rex?
I wanted to tell you a little bit about...
Rex, I was looking for Michael Cohen, our lawyer.
(16:15):
I've been playing the back nine lately.
Well, I've found that the way to put a little spin on the ball...
You know what spin is.
Rex, have you been drinking again?
If you put spin on the ball, I mean you actually put your hands in your mouth and you gather up a little bit of spin.
(16:39):
Okay, some real loogie put onto the golf ball.
Golf or baseball?
What are we talking about, Rex?
Rex, I'm going to try to reach our lawyer.
I'll tell you what, I'll keep you on my cell phone here.
I'm going to try and get hold of our lawyer on the other phone, the landline, okay?
Hang on just a second.
(17:00):
This is so ridiculous.
I have to landline this fucker.
Oh, did I say that?
Okay.
Cohen, is that you?
Michael.
Michael, are you there?
Michael?
Michael Cohen.
Michael Cohen, yeah.
So I know you're busy.
You've got a lot of legal things going on.
(17:21):
But I needed to talk to you about our case.
They're trying to bring us down with the Russian advertising.
Well, that's not a sicky wicked.
Hey, this isn't Michael Cohen.
This is Michael Cain again.
Michael Cain, what are you doing answering Michael Cohen's phone again?
(17:43):
Well, you know, it's the easiest way to be popular in the States.
You should really...
Do I have the wrong number or...
Hang on a second.
Did I tell you about my sequel to Death Trap?
I think...
Let me check myself.
Rex, Rex, are you still there?
Rex?
Hello?
(18:04):
Yeah, Rex.
I got Michael Cohen on the landline.
I'm going to have to let you go, okay?
All right.
Okay, it's good talking to you.
Drink some coffee.
Oh, what's that?
Yeah, I knew.
Senka might be your brand, Senka.
Michael Cohen, or Michael Cain, I should say.
You ever had a poach?
(18:26):
Bridge on the River Kwai, were you in that?
No, you're thinking Sir Alec Guinness.
Sir Alec Guinness, okay, okay.
Well, that was all I had for you.
We need to get going.
We got a show we're doing here.
Special, great Alaskan guest coming in next.
Do you have any Alaskan questions for him?
Alaskan questions?
(18:48):
How do you get salt?
How do you get salt?
How do you get salt?
I'll ask him that.
Like kippard herring, that kind of thing?
Well, thank you very much, and good night.
Good night, Michael Cain.
Thank you for calling in.
Bye-bye.
I tell you, it's just crazy these days.
(19:09):
All the technology and the things you can do.
One of these days we're going to figure out this video conferencing thing.
I keep hearing so much about it.
I've got a guy for that if you need.
You know a guy.
Yeah, but he's also a sound guy.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll put you in touch.
Sure, I'd love that.
And his name's Stu?
(19:32):
He can't trust that guy.
I know not what you speak of.
I wept.
I wept.
We've got to go pay some commercials, but when we come back, a very special guest, a friend,
a part of the family of Trench Digger Productions.
I'm very excited to have him here.
(19:53):
And with that, we'll be right back after these messages.
Hey, all right.
What do you think this, since you've been trying to get this recording, is this my second
or third cup of coffee?
What, what?
Anyway, yeah, I mean, just trying to get, you know, just getting motivated for all this,
(20:19):
you know, trying to, well, you know, you know the drill by now.
And I don't, you know, it's just not a peasant revolution band variety hour show without
me, Sid Sebastian, doing a promo for Safford Brothers, downtown blend, taste of city coffee.
I mean, that's, that's just what we do here.
(20:41):
I've been drinking a lot of coffee this morning, just trying this morning.
It's practically almost the evening.
Just trying to get moving, you know.
Oh, and well, let me tell you something.
It's good.
You know it.
Safford Brothers, downtown blend, taste of city coffee.
It's good.
No, he's talking about moving.
Smoke it for hours, door to door, boat to boat, cheap white wine, cheap sugar.
(21:14):
Just brined in like a brand name soy sauce and cheap white wine, cheap sugar and salt.
Little herbs in there and brined overnight.
Let it dry out and form a nice pedicle, they call it in the biz.
(21:35):
You know, nice sort of protective skin on the membrane.
Then we'll smoke it for hours on end and just drink beer and wait.
Line cod, barbless hook, line cod, barbless hook.
(21:58):
Smoking to dry it out, give it a little smoky flavor.
Door to door, boat to boat, free range line cod, barbless hook.
Where are you guys going?
We're still attending.
Class.
(22:19):
Yeah, it's kind of a whole strange thing.
It's okay because you were sending your kids to Jesuit anyways, right?
So, I looked on the chairs, I looked on the tables, and the next one is I asked Bobby Dillon, I asked the Beatles.
That seems right.
What's the third one?
Oh, we're back, we're back.
(22:40):
You've got to go outside and we'll introduce you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're back.
Welcome everybody to the Peasant Revolution Band Variety Hour.
The man I introduced to needs no further introduction, but we'll give him one anyways.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Farrell.
Yeah, that's great.
(23:13):
That's just a little like what we like to call in the business a teaser.
No, there's a look on the chairs, look on the tables, and the next one is I asked Bobby Dillon, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary, he couldn't help me either.
There's a third lyric, I'm pretty sure.
(23:37):
But we probably only need two.
Hey, where'd that microphone go I was giving you?
I dropped it down to somebody.
Well, you know what, we'll just put this between us and I think we can do it.
I think this because this is called a condenser mic.
Yeah, okay, that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna just do this and turn it really loud so that it feeds back.
(24:01):
And how does that work for you, David?
Well, it just works lovely.
It's lovely.
Do you prefer David or Dave?
I've always wondered that about you.
Did I lose Jeff as a friend?
No, we're doing a talk show.
Oh, are we live now?
(24:22):
We're live, we are live.
Oh, that's great.
Oh, we're gonna, yeah, yeah.
Groovy, groovy, so I'd be standing.
No, this is great, I think we're coming out fine.
I'm gonna have to stand.
You wanna stand and talk?
Well, I mean, we're doing the hooves.
Not yet, not yet, we're gonna talk a little bit about you.
Oh, we are?
We're gonna talk a little bit about you, yeah.
I'm pretty interesting.
Yes, you are.
Yeah, I'm pretty interesting.
(24:44):
Let's talk about me.
Yes, so you hail from Anchorage, Alaska.
That is true.
What was it like going from there to Oregon, and when did you come here?
Well, I graduated high school on a Wednesday.
(25:10):
Was it in the fall or summer?
When do you graduate high school, smarty pants?
Well, during war years, sometimes they graduate them ahead of time.
War years, we're there.
I've met some World War II people, and they said that, you know, it's like, I graduated in the winter.
(25:31):
I basically graduated high school on a Wednesday and ate acid for two days.
In LSD, for some may not know what that is.
And then went to bed after two days of it on a Friday, and then Saturday morning was awakened by my father who said,
(25:57):
if you want to go to the halfway house, as opposed to the real jail, you better get your ass up.
So that's what I did.
So acid for two days, jail for two days, and then two days later I moved to Eugene, Oregon.
Oh man, that's good.
And then you rushed a frat, isn't that what happened next?
(26:20):
That would be weird if I did, but I actually lived in one.
Didn't you and Dave Brum, another David I know.
Oh, Brum.
Weren't you guys frat guys?
No.
I thought you guys rushed a frat for like a week.
What was the frat?
I didn't rush anything.
I'm a slow roller.
(26:42):
Pace yourself.
Yeah, I pace myself.
But I did live in the beta house in the summer.
The beta house.
Yeah.
And I thought it was really cool.
Because there were no frat boys there.
Okay, because it was summer.
And so it seemed like just a few people, house cleaning, this is Mello.
(27:03):
We were surfing down the stairways.
It was cool.
How many were there living there that summer?
Two.
Just two of you?
Just you and Dave?
No, Dave wasn't there.
Mitch Tankersley.
And yeah, it was really, really cool.
Until I realized what fraternity life was like and what the people were like.
(27:33):
And I was like, grossed out by it.
So I never did it again.
They would never have me near them.
But I did go to a couple frat parties when I was at Western Oregon.
I don't believe it.
Rich, have you ever been to a frat party?
I got kicked out of a couple.
Bingo.
Yeah.
Can I get a snare?
(27:55):
Oh, god damn it.
You're going to make him work.
That's an extra $5 that I can pay you back.
Thank you, Richard.
You bet.
Yeah, I got kicked out of a couple down there just trying to visit some friends.
At U of O.
Yeah, and I was like, listen, have you ever even heard of sea lion caves?
Of course they hadn't because they were from out of state.
(28:17):
Right.
So they just, you know.
Right.
They were all Californians.
I actually helped a couple of them tie their ties because they didn't know how to tie it's
high.
It was hilarious.
They still made me leave.
So.
So.
If you feel more comfortable with the guitar, please.
Yeah.
I'm just kind of finger banging that a little bit.
(28:39):
I've seen this kind of thing before.
It happens.
Yeah.
It's a thing.
It's a thing.
Oh, yeah.
Man, are we.
There we are.
How long has that been going on?
Poor Natalie.
Too long.
Way too long.
No, it was only about a minute or two.
(29:02):
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That's great.
So.
So, you were on acid and you joined the frat.
Well, I'm just trying to.
I did not either.
No, you didn't join the frat.
No, I didn't.
But you stayed with them, checked it out, and then the frat boys showed up and everything
(29:22):
wasn't cool.
No.
In the fall.
No, no, no.
I didn't know.
The winner.
You graduated winner, right?
And anyway, so you were.
You're making just random stuff up and that's awesome.
Yeah.
No.
I spent two weeks there because it was free lodging.
And.
Did you.
(29:43):
They were all douchey when they showed up and I never went back.
But that was your freshman year.
So you went.
No, no.
That was the summer before my freshman year.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I was a smarty pants guy.
Okay.
I went to a pre-freshman program.
Oh.
So you were ahead of us all.
Yeah.
(30:04):
Okay.
But you were class of 88.
No.
That's right.
You're a rooster.
What?
We got us a rooster in here.
That's a rooster.
A year of the rooster, which you had your year last year.
87.
87, sir.
87.
88 and 87, there was always a lot of tension between us, you know.
(30:25):
Yeah.
At our school, at Central Catholic, I don't know how it was in Anchorage, but.
In Alaska, there was always tension because it's a very violent place where people die
a lot.
So when you speak of the halfway house, that was a very regular alternative for a lot of
(30:46):
people at that point, for high school students.
Oh, it was great for me.
I learned to play UNO.
Okay, sure.
That's a great game.
We played that a lot.
Was that like the drunk tank?
Is that what you're talking about?
No, no.
It was either that or jail.
Okay.
I was very fortunate in that we fucking played UNO.
(31:11):
Did you have a pool and people bring you drinks?
They were not alcoholic.
You were still confined.
Okay.
It was very relaxing.
It was relaxing.
You know, the funny thing is that they had like a wake room and shit, and then they had
(31:37):
also a pool table.
And when I went to the pool table, I was like, what does it cost?
And somebody goes, are you fucking kidding me?
And yanks it down.
I'm like, oh, you're all criminals.
Of course.
Why would we pay for a pool?
(31:59):
Wow.
It was pretty fun.
So did you, in that criminal realm of Anchorage and the various people you might have known
or grown up with, did you...
Basically, I grew up with criminals.
Okay.
Did you take any of that criminal knowledge and apply it to your experiences in Oregon?
(32:20):
And if so...
Very poorly.
Yeah.
I stole a lighter.
Well, I didn't even mean to steal it, but I stole a lighter from Albertsons and I had
$63 in my pocket.
And I put the lighter in my pocket as I grabbed a 12-pack of beer that I was underage and
not allowed to buy.
(32:42):
And I was giving it to my buddy, but I put the lighter in my pocket and I forgot about
that.
So when we left this market, they attacked my friend for stealing.
Yeah.
And it turned out it was me.
(33:03):
Did they...they couldn't find the lighter and they're like, I know you took that lighter.
Yeah, but they did bust...
But it was your friend.
It was the wrong guy.
No, but they busted me and I was fined $350 for a 99-cent lighter.
Wow.
That's what happens.
Was that at...
I don't know.
What are you doing?
Don't break the law.
I...
Don't break the law.
(33:24):
Was it the 7-Eleven there on 13th Street?
Well, I was going to say you said it was Albertsons.
Albertsons.
Albertsons.
Albertsons Chambers.
Albertsons.
What?
30th and Hilliard?
No, it's by where the...
Out on the way to LCC.
Phil Knight's Kids Center is.
Right.
Right.
The old Otson...
(33:45):
Or Mac...
Wasn't that...
Mac Court, right?
I thought that was a Price Chopper.
Wasn't that Price Chopper?
No, not Mac Court.
They have a new place.
Yeah, it's over by the original Romania Chevrolet, which was originally Silva Chevrolet.
Silva?
Yeah, same family that the Silva Concert Hall was named for in the Holt Center.
Okay.
There you go.
Wow.
Wow.
(34:06):
There's...
Moving right along.
Yeah, moving right along.
Here we are.
The acid thing...
No.
Okay.
It's a thing.
It is a thing.
It's a thing.
No, I was thinking though...
Do you remember Waking the Patriot?
Yes.
So I always...
We don't...
No, no, no.
I was going to talk about...
(34:27):
Are we going to go there?
I was going to talk a little bit about how we know each other, which is I met you, which
must have been your junior year then, or senior year at U of O when you had the Mohawk.
Just back from France or something is the way I recall it.
And it was right before I left and we had just...
The Butler and His Freaks.
(34:47):
There was a big...
I was in this band called The Butler and His Freaks and Steve was in it.
Look at his face.
Steve was in it and we were...
It was...
Boy, there's some footage I can show you from that.
We need to check in with a few people before we do that.
But yeah, great band and it was over by the time I met you.
(35:08):
It was like a flash in the pan thing.
They decided I was not fitting the bill enough.
You weren't freaky enough.
Things change.
Things change in a relationship.
And a band is like having a relationship with four or five, six people sometimes, right?
It gets sweaty.
It's gross.
It gets really gross.
It's a personal...
(35:28):
Hairy, sweaty.
Hairy chest, yeah.
And so anyway, then we meet and...
We start rebuilding things so The Butler turned in this band called Marshall Plan, which was
very rockin' and very popular in Eugene.
(35:50):
Your best moment, I think, was when you stole...
Oh, the Crossroads thing?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
That was during...
Yeah, that was a very tense time.
What was that band?
Who is that?
Who is that?
Lance.
Wasn't it...
Lance on drums.
Did you have that guy, Lance, for a while?
No, it was Moist.
There was Moist Boy who was in there.
(36:10):
No, I don't think Moist wasn't...
I mean, he lived there, but he didn't play anymore.
He was the first to leave The Butler and his Freaks, because he...
Again, I don't want to go too far into his past, but...
Whose guitar did he steal?
Oh, yeah.
That was...
It was some hot shot, and I took his guitar and...
(36:32):
And I remember it very clearly.
That was Nathan Hilly?
No.
It was one of those guys, though, I think.
It was at your house.
It was at Whitebird, too.
It was...
It was...
The fucking...
We might have to bleep that out.
This is YouTube.
Oh, sorry.
I don't...
There's families watching this hour right now.
(36:54):
Go on, man.
So, no fucking swearing.
It's okay to talk about that.
Sit down.
LSD is...
They're doing stuff with LSD that's helping with PTSD people now.
Have you heard about that, the micro-dosing?
The Silicon Valley is all about it.
But I don't think they really have PTSD.
They think they're gonna get smarter.
(37:14):
Okay, see...
It's in the Waldorf School.
I'm like, seriously.
That keys and stuff.
You're making millions in Silicon Valley, and you need to get smarter through acid?
Yeah, I think it's...
They're just trying to join the computers.
It's an AI thing, right?
They're trying to...
I mean, look at Zuckerberg, he's halfway there.
(37:35):
Did I say that out loud?
Not on YouTube, I didn't say that.
And I think it sounds like we should take a commercial break.
So we're gonna take a commercial break, and we'll be right back with the captain, Mr.
David Farrell.
939.
So do you think it was only a minute we lost?
(37:57):
Oh, I still don't have this.
Hang on.
Block two.
I'm trying to...

Worcester's Pizza is everything you love about pizza
It starts with our golden crust
(49:16):
Of course you're going to want cheese on that
Then it's whatever toppings you want
Pepperoni, always a favorite
How about the green peppers?
You want something blue? No one ever put anything blue on a pizza
(49:40):
But it's colorful
Try the roasted garlic
And don't forget the black olives
We make them the way you want them
Worcester's Pizza, Italian by marriage
(50:02):
Yeah, uh
I was going to tell him about the show
Oh yeah
Do you think he'd come on it or?
He'd know what's his name like since the show
Sam and Charlie, they're like fans of his
Oh right, Charlie
Oh, that Charlie Hales
That guy's
Oh, we're back, we're back, we're live
We're live
(50:24):
Yeah, sorry, we've been having some technical difficulties
Like I said, we've got this Russian advertising that's been working well
But apparently Paraguay might be involved with sabotage here
We're not quite sure, we're checking our data banks
And have our IT department heavily invested in sorting this out
(50:46):
But the commander here was telling me a little story
The best band on the block, the Peasant Revolution Band
Mr. Rich Reese on the drums, Stephen Sabilo on bass
And the commander, as always on the harmonica
Commander, how are you?
I'm a little disgruntled, I'm trying to figure out what to do with the Burnside Bridge
(51:07):
It's been put forth, I'm not sure who put forth
Are you talking about the Borg thing on there?
No, I'm talking about the bridge itself
I'm figuring out that I have to figure out what to do with it
And I was racking my brain
And I'm really not sure who put me to task
(51:31):
It could have been Wheeler, apparently
He's been keeping an eye on Steve
What kind of a task are you doing?
Goodbye Captain, ride Captain, ride
Are you going back to Alaska?
I wish flames would...
I can do that, there will be flames there
There will be flames
So said he
(51:52):
Take care
All right, all right, busy, busy night here at the old Trench Digger studios
I wasn't prepared for that
I do know that at this time
I am rolling out a plan that I'm pretty sure needs to become accepted by local landscapers and engineers
(52:16):
And we're going to turn the Burnside Bridge into a driving range for everybody
Wow, so it's no longer a bridge, it's a driving range
Or is it a... you can drive through the driving range
It's that kind of a driving range, Jeff
But if you're in a golf car you can drive across
I know, it's confusing
I've never played golf, did you know that?
(52:38):
We've got to go
I'd love to, I've heard such great things and I'm a huge fan of Caddy Shack
So I want somebody who can take what's in my head and create it there on the Burnside Bridge
Because I'm just a harmonica player
But like I said, I came up with this
(53:02):
And don't ask me why, I don't remember who put it forth
But I know there's a sign, there's a sign that said I had to figure it out
I mean, you had to figure it out, you just didn't know it
Right, right, and that's maybe I'm waiting for my sign to collaborate with your sign
So now it's time, we've got, you know, and it sounds kind of communist, I know
(53:27):
I could see it working, maybe you should do like the Seattle thing
Where you drive underneath it but they're playing golf on top of the freeway
Because I could see that working
I think they have a real lollipop sort of texture to it that I would put behind
Well they build a walking bridge, so why not, right?
I can feel that
They'll build anything in this city if enough city commissioners are into it
(53:49):
And getting greased enough, I mean it's a good public cause
It's a lot to get those shiny, well-heeled shiny boys down there
Amongst our local crowd
You know, OHSU spent a ton of money for our community
And has really improved that community right there
In the old Ross Island sand gravel pit there
(54:10):
That's, you know, so there's investments
I think Portland's like a sponsor thing, they want to have like a sponsor name
It'd have to be like the commander's driving, Burnside driving range
With, you know, also Moda Health or something
I know it sounds controversial
It's gonna be a lot to swallow
(54:31):
But she's gonna...
I'm with you, I'm with you, it sounds like a great idea
You know, our community needs a driving range right in the goddamn middle of its city
You know, I don't even know how to play golf when I'm with you
Love it, love it
That's right, and it's about community
And, you know, I...
(54:52):
No one wants to get punched
Well, I'll tell you who wants to get punched
This mayor that we used to have, he was just cruising for a bruising
But now we got this new mayor, and I guess he's not so new
A couple years in
Steve, did you say you saw him recently?
Oh, I sent him, yeah
Well, he's at the old stop there, huh?
(55:13):
Yes, and he looked good, he was sort of dressed down
Is he khakis or something?
Casual pants
Khakis and a casual eyesawed, maybe
Hadn't shaved in a few days, maybe
Right, right, and that's, you know, not shaving in Portland, that's a big thing
But let me tell you, there's a few things I'd like to talk to him about
Oh, yeah
Oh, it's my lovely wife Jamila, how are you?
(55:36):
I'm doing great
I haven't seen you since you were doing Sally Fields
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What's up?
Oh, time to say goodnight
Ted Wheeler
Alright, well, I guess it's that time
Goodnight Ted Wheeler, goodnight
(56:25):

Just driving around.
(00:09):
Just driving around.
Get us driving around.
It's sure a pretty day out here.
Pretty good day for a green screen.
Oh!
What?
Did I just hear something on the CB there?
Yeah, I'm sorry son, I was just hooking you up.
(00:32):
Well that smells like a Smoky.
Do I smell?
No, it ain't no Smoky.
I think I smell bacon.
Yeah, you're burning your bacon right now.
Well now listen Smoky, I need to get this beer all to Tex Art Canada.
Do you think you can help me with that?
Well now I'm here to interrupt that son.
(00:52):
I'm here to shut you down and I'm going to pull you over.
Well that doesn't seem like a kind thing to do.
We're on our way to Atlanta.
I thought you were going to Arkansas.
Well I got back from Arkansas and now I'm going to Atlanta.
You got a problem with that?
Well I'm going to shut you down.
(01:12):
I'm going to shut you down son.
I'm going to shut you down.
I'm about to shut you down.
I'm about to shut you down son.
This rabbit done garden the hen house.
It's guarding the rabbits, it's guarding the chickens, it's guarding the eggs, okay?
That's what this rabbit's doing here.
Alright, alright.
(01:34):
Woah!
Fancy little solo bride out there wandering the streets by herself.
I wonder if she needs a ride?
Hey there, ma'am.
Hey, there's a handsome looking little lady right there.
Well, the name is Bert, that's right.
Good guess.
I didn't know how you knew me.
I've never seen you before in my life.
(01:57):
Well, um...
You have such beautiful legs.
Thank you.
It's a good thing we're driving in England, because otherwise I'd be on that side of the wheel.
But we're in London now, and oh my goodness, this cop is still...
I'm on your ass. I am gonna get you, bitch.
(02:18):
I am on your ass. I'm coming up on you, come on, come on.
I'm coming home. I'm coming home.
Coming home.
Now I got me this runaway bride.
Now where are you?
I'll tell you...
It just makes me feel like... I gotta get back.
Is she a sister?
She's uh... It's over the state lines, it's all good now.
(02:40):
You can talk to J. Edgar about that.
We're going to talk about heading west.
Everyone go westbound? Let's do some westbound.
Uh huh. Come out a little westbound.
Let's get westbound and down.
Hey, do you have a guitar around?
Why?
That might help.
(03:01):
I do.
Well, I'm done.
That's the best thing in the world.
You gotta go home for you now.
Let's get a little guitar action on here.
Come on now.
And... westbound...
I kinda like that. I kinda like that.
It's uh...
(03:22):
And down...
It's a little tune that goes out to our friend Bert.
Fu-fu!
(03:45):
We're all the way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
You thought we were on the middle zone
But we're on the mix
Let it all hang out cause we got a run in big
No one's gonna stay in the house
And we're gonna play with spirit and text all day long
(04:08):
We're way back in the battle world
It's a game of speed
It's fast and down
It's a game of speed
We're way back in the battle world
It's a game of speed
It's a game of speed
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
(04:53):
We're way back in the battle world
(05:15):
It's fast and down
18 wheels rolling
We're gonna do this, it can't be done
We got a long way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
We're so pissed off at his name
He's part of our own tree
(05:37):
He ain't gonna fail, he ain't gonna kick
So we got the cards and we got the stuff
Oh, we got that diesel truck in the back
It's a little bit of a ride in heaven, yeah
It's a game of speed
It's a game of speed
We're gonna do this, it can't be done
(05:58):
We got a long way to go
And it's short time to get up
And we're spelled as Walter and Anna
We're so pissed off at his name
(06:29):
We are 27 years away
From the planet blowing us away
If you really don't want to stay
We'll let you float off in the Milky Way
As we run past an evolution plan
When it's time to really understand
(06:53):
And the truth of our mission
Is to kneel under the vision
And join our hands and stand
And kneel under the vision
Join our hands and revolution band
(07:23):
Well, the status quo just can't stay
We gotta go get the hell away
Well, I tried to get me some peace today
But the future seems so far away
We're against an evolution plan
When it's time to really understand
(07:47):
And the truth of our mission
Is to flee under the vision
And join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
Join our hands and revolution band
(08:09):
Join our hands and revolution band
Yeah.
Funky shitter.
Yeah, it was a very funky shitter.
Which, is the shitter in Salem?
No, Red Bone.
Red Bone.
(08:30):
Yeah.
I haven't been there.
But I found...
I bet Stu knows him, because he knows everybody.
A Red Bone, it sounds familiar.
Yeah.
I once saw it in the...
We were doing a gig in Salem
And it said on the bathroom wall,
Jeff Dodge sucks.
It was like the...
Oh, we're back!
(08:50):
Hey everybody, we're back.
Welcome to the show.
It's so good to have you.
We've been...
We've been going through some major changes here
at the Trench Digger Productions recording studios.
There's kind of some tasseling over sponsorship.
We're still working with the Russians,
(09:11):
but there's actually been some Paraguayans
that are interested in sponsoring some things.
Okay.
And...
Spitting wars.
Well, yeah, yeah.
And I like to diversify,
spread our love around the universe there.
So, anyway, we're going to be going through
(09:33):
a few different looks until we get to Season 4
and working it out.
There's been a whole lot of news lately.
Sure.
Have any of you guys been following
this Supreme Court justice stuff?
Yeah.
Yeah, it makes it look like guys your age
are just a bunch of dicks.
Oh, because of the Clarence Thomas pubic story?
(09:57):
Is that what you're talking about?
No, there's another thing going on,
but I guess we really can't make jokes about it.
But...
I...
Pubic hair is nothing to joke about.
That's true.
It's disgusting, and you find it everywhere.
You know, your hamburgers when you're eating.
Well, you're a sound guy.
I quit eating hamburgers because of too many pubic...
I didn't know that.
Okay.
Yeah, years ago.
All right.
I was in high school, and Steve and I...
(10:19):
I don't know if you knew this, Rich,
but Steve and I were actually biology partners
in high school.
Is that right?
Yes, we were lab partners,
and we had to cut up the fetal pig.
Did you get fetal pigs?
That was an 80s thing.
No.
They switched the frogs on you.
Didn't you guys go to Catholic school, though?
Yes.
So did they abort a pig for you guys to do that?
(10:41):
No, that would be sacrilegious.
So they would let the kids become of, like,
the piglet, I should say, would get to, like,
about the ripe age of three months,
and then they would take it to an altar
and see if God would stop them from killing them.
And usually it did it, and then we'd get a fetal pig.
So the pig's father was Abraham?
Abrahamic, yes.
(11:02):
Abrahamic pigs, we used to call it.
Oh, wow.
Point is, I had to slice the pubic bone.
Do you remember that, Steve?
It was very...
Abraham's brother.
The only time I haven't heard of pubic hair is pubic bone,
and both of them make me very uncomfortable.
So on that note, yes, the Kavanaugh's a Catholic kid, isn't he?
Yeah. Yeah.
(11:24):
Yeah.
So there you go, 80s?
80s Catholic kids, yeah.
I don't know of a more dangerous pack of guys
I wouldn't want to run into on a Friday or Saturday night, you know?
Yeah, I know, especially with all those movies I watched
from the John Hughes stuff to the Karate Kid movies.
I mean, they really nailed these kind of white guys from that period.
And what was bigger was there's really a more accurate portrayal,
(11:49):
I think, of the times, because it was very glossy.
They used smear Vaseline on the outside of the lenses and stuff.
Sure.
And everything's happy, but it was more...
That 80s period was more, from my recollection, like Boogie Nights.
I don't know if you're familiar with that.
Oh, sure, sure.
When Dirk Diggler is down on his luck,
and he's getting paid to do things.
(12:11):
Right, and then they beat him up.
And then they pay him and then they beat him up and take their money back.
And then they play some ELO and he makes his way back.
And who takes him back in?
He did things he didn't want to do.
Tim...Weatherspoon? No. Tim Meadows.
No, that's the wrong movie.
Yeah.
I was thinking...
(12:33):
Actually, who was it? Was it Jack? Was that his name?
Little Jack Horner, played by your...
Yes, and that brings us back to Burt.
He did take him in, but on certain conditions.
Just like Henry Hill, he sold him out.
Broke those rules.
But yeah, Burt Reynolds.
Now there's a guy.
Art Hero. Gen X Hero, for sure.
(12:57):
But then it's one of those things.
His car had the Confederate license plate, I was noticing the other day.
It's not the Union Jack, they just call it the Confederate flag.
The Stars and Bars.
Right.
But he was from Florida.
(13:18):
Was he from Florida?
Yeah, he played football.
He was almost heading to the NFL.
So he was a very good old Southern boy.
He was injured and then had to become a famous actor.
Right.
It's a great trade off.
He admired his career for its ups and downs.
Peaks and valleys and everything.
(13:40):
I liked his chest hair.
The chest hair was pretty good.
It was an inspiration to me.
Do you have a lot of chest hair?
Sadly, yeah.
I've been getting some negative feedback at work on these super hot days
when I choose not to wear an undershirt.
And kind of let that button down.
Not making a lot of sales on those pants.
(14:03):
I was nine years old.
It was very disruptive.
Dang.
I've been dealing with this for a while.
Maybe Burt is not the best icon for everybody.
For those of us chest hair challenged on the other side.
It became really popular not to have any chest hair whatsoever.
(14:25):
You notice that?
Oh yeah.
That's not going to do any good.
I did an interview when I was in high school.
Which would have been several years after you guys, of course.
This is about 1993 or so.
He did some Good Morning America interview.
He came out and he was wearing a blazer that was too small.
His pants were basically held shut by his belt.
(14:48):
Nothing was exposed, but you could see he couldn't fit into his pants.
This was probably about halfway between a movie called Switching Channels.
Which was him with Christopher Reeve and Kathleen Turner.
About halfway between that and Boogie Nights.
They made fun of him.
There was no real internet back then.
Although I guess the kids in Alaska up there on whatever internet they had,
(15:10):
maybe they made fun of him that way.
Speaking of Alaska, we have a special guest with us tonight.
They had the internet way before anybody else.
I think they had HBO too.
No, I think they got it ahead of time.
According to Sarah Palin...
Where are you from up there?
Downtown.
(15:31):
Oh, downtown Anchorage?
Yeah.
Like the streets?
Hardcore.
Oh, I knew it.
You know, upper middle class hardcore.
Right, right.
It was tough.
Oh, it's our lawyer.
Our lawyer is calling here.
Is Alaska suing us now?
Yeah, it's our lawyer Michael Cohen.
(15:54):
Remember we got cut off from him last episode.
Michael Cohen.
Yeah, we wanted to talk to you because things have been seeming pretty dicey.
How are you, Michael?
Aw, so wonderful.
Thanks for having me again here.
This is Rex Tillerson.
Rex?
I wanted to tell you a little bit about...
Rex, I was looking for Michael Cohen, our lawyer.
(16:15):
I've been playing the back nine lately.
Well, I've found that the way to put a little spin on the ball...
You know what spin is.
Rex, have you been drinking again?
If you put spin on the ball, I mean you actually put your hands in your mouth and you gather up a little bit of spin.
(16:39):
Okay, some real loogie put onto the golf ball.
Golf or baseball?
What are we talking about, Rex?
Rex, I'm going to try to reach our lawyer.
I'll tell you what, I'll keep you on my cell phone here.
I'm going to try and get hold of our lawyer on the other phone, the landline, okay?
Hang on just a second.
(17:00):
This is so ridiculous.
I have to landline this fucker.
Oh, did I say that?
Okay.
Cohen, is that you?
Michael.
Michael, are you there?
Michael?
Michael Cohen.
Michael Cohen, yeah.
So I know you're busy.
You've got a lot of legal things going on.
(17:21):
But I needed to talk to you about our case.
They're trying to bring us down with the Russian advertising.
Well, that's not a sicky wicked.
Hey, this isn't Michael Cohen.
This is Michael Cain again.
Michael Cain, what are you doing answering Michael Cohen's phone again?
(17:43):
Well, you know, it's the easiest way to be popular in the States.
You should really...
Do I have the wrong number or...
Hang on a second.
Did I tell you about my sequel to Death Trap?
I think...
Let me check myself.
Rex, Rex, are you still there?
Rex?
Hello?
(18:04):
Yeah, Rex.
I got Michael Cohen on the landline.
I'm going to have to let you go, okay?
All right.
Okay, it's good talking to you.
Drink some coffee.
Oh, what's that?
Yeah, I knew.
Senka might be your brand, Senka.
Michael Cohen, or Michael Cain, I should say.
You ever had a poach?
(18:26):
Bridge on the River Kwai, were you in that?
No, you're thinking Sir Alec Guinness.
Sir Alec Guinness, okay, okay.
Well, that was all I had for you.
We need to get going.
We got a show we're doing here.
Special, great Alaskan guest coming in next.
Do you have any Alaskan questions for him?
Alaskan questions?
(18:48):
How do you get salt?
How do you get salt?
How do you get salt?
I'll ask him that.
Like kippard herring, that kind of thing?
Well, thank you very much, and good night.
Good night, Michael Cain.
Thank you for calling in.
Bye-bye.
I tell you, it's just crazy these days.
(19:09):
All the technology and the things you can do.
One of these days we're going to figure out this video conferencing thing.
I keep hearing so much about it.
I've got a guy for that if you need.
You know a guy.
Yeah, but he's also a sound guy.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll put you in touch.
Sure, I'd love that.
And his name's Stu?
(19:32):
He can't trust that guy.
I know not what you speak of.
I wept.
I wept.
We've got to go pay some commercials, but when we come back, a very special guest, a friend,
a part of the family of Trench Digger Productions.
I'm very excited to have him here.
(19:53):
And with that, we'll be right back after these messages.
Hey, all right.
What do you think this, since you've been trying to get this recording, is this my second
or third cup of coffee?
What, what?
Anyway, yeah, I mean, just trying to get, you know, just getting motivated for all this,
(20:19):
you know, trying to, well, you know, you know the drill by now.
And I don't, you know, it's just not a peasant revolution band variety hour show without
me, Sid Sebastian, doing a promo for Safford Brothers, downtown blend, taste of city coffee.
I mean, that's, that's just what we do here.
(20:41):
I've been drinking a lot of coffee this morning, just trying this morning.
It's practically almost the evening.
Just trying to get moving, you know.
Oh, and well, let me tell you something.
It's good.
You know it.
Safford Brothers, downtown blend, taste of city coffee.
It's good.
No, he's talking about moving.
Smoke it for hours, door to door, boat to boat, cheap white wine, cheap sugar.
(21:14):
Just brined in like a brand name soy sauce and cheap white wine, cheap sugar and salt.
Little herbs in there and brined overnight.
Let it dry out and form a nice pedicle, they call it in the biz.
(21:35):
You know, nice sort of protective skin on the membrane.
Then we'll smoke it for hours on end and just drink beer and wait.
Line cod, barbless hook, line cod, barbless hook.
(21:58):
Smoking to dry it out, give it a little smoky flavor.
Door to door, boat to boat, free range line cod, barbless hook.
Where are you guys going?
We're still attending.
Class.
(22:19):
Yeah, it's kind of a whole strange thing.
It's okay because you were sending your kids to Jesuit anyways, right?
So, I looked on the chairs, I looked on the tables, and the next one is I asked Bobby Dillon, I asked the Beatles.
That seems right.
What's the third one?
Oh, we're back, we're back.
(22:40):
You've got to go outside and we'll introduce you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We're back.
Welcome everybody to the Peasant Revolution Band Variety Hour.
The man I introduced to needs no further introduction, but we'll give him one anyways.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. David Farrell.
Yeah, that's great.
(23:13):
That's just a little like what we like to call in the business a teaser.
No, there's a look on the chairs, look on the tables, and the next one is I asked Bobby Dillon, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary, he couldn't help me either.
There's a third lyric, I'm pretty sure.
(23:37):
But we probably only need two.
Hey, where'd that microphone go I was giving you?
I dropped it down to somebody.
Well, you know what, we'll just put this between us and I think we can do it.
I think this because this is called a condenser mic.
Yeah, okay, that's what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna just do this and turn it really loud so that it feeds back.
(24:01):
And how does that work for you, David?
Well, it just works lovely.
It's lovely.
Do you prefer David or Dave?
I've always wondered that about you.
Did I lose Jeff as a friend?
No, we're doing a talk show.
Oh, are we live now?
(24:22):
We're live, we are live.
Oh, that's great.
Oh, we're gonna, yeah, yeah.
Groovy, groovy, so I'd be standing.
No, this is great, I think we're coming out fine.
I'm gonna have to stand.
You wanna stand and talk?
Well, I mean, we're doing the hooves.
Not yet, not yet, we're gonna talk a little bit about you.
Oh, we are?
We're gonna talk a little bit about you, yeah.
I'm pretty interesting.
Yes, you are.
Yeah, I'm pretty interesting.
(24:44):
Let's talk about me.
Yes, so you hail from Anchorage, Alaska.
That is true.
What was it like going from there to Oregon, and when did you come here?
Well, I graduated high school on a Wednesday.
(25:10):
Was it in the fall or summer?
When do you graduate high school, smarty pants?
Well, during war years, sometimes they graduate them ahead of time.
War years, we're there.
I've met some World War II people, and they said that, you know, it's like, I graduated in the winter.
(25:31):
I basically graduated high school on a Wednesday and ate acid for two days.
In LSD, for some may not know what that is.
And then went to bed after two days of it on a Friday, and then Saturday morning was awakened by my father who said,
(25:57):
if you want to go to the halfway house, as opposed to the real jail, you better get your ass up.
So that's what I did.
So acid for two days, jail for two days, and then two days later I moved to Eugene, Oregon.
Oh man, that's good.
And then you rushed a frat, isn't that what happened next?
(26:20):
That would be weird if I did, but I actually lived in one.
Didn't you and Dave Brum, another David I know.
Oh, Brum.
Weren't you guys frat guys?
No.
I thought you guys rushed a frat for like a week.
What was the frat?
I didn't rush anything.
I'm a slow roller.
(26:42):
Pace yourself.
Yeah, I pace myself.
But I did live in the beta house in the summer.
The beta house.
Yeah.
And I thought it was really cool.
Because there were no frat boys there.
Okay, because it was summer.
And so it seemed like just a few people, house cleaning, this is Mello.
(27:03):
We were surfing down the stairways.
It was cool.
How many were there living there that summer?
Two.
Just two of you?
Just you and Dave?
No, Dave wasn't there.
Mitch Tankersley.
And yeah, it was really, really cool.
Until I realized what fraternity life was like and what the people were like.
(27:33):
And I was like, grossed out by it.
So I never did it again.
They would never have me near them.
But I did go to a couple frat parties when I was at Western Oregon.
I don't believe it.
Rich, have you ever been to a frat party?
I got kicked out of a couple.
Bingo.
Yeah.
Can I get a snare?
(27:55):
Oh, god damn it.
You're going to make him work.
That's an extra $5 that I can pay you back.
Thank you, Richard.
You bet.
Yeah, I got kicked out of a couple down there just trying to visit some friends.
At U of O.
Yeah, and I was like, listen, have you ever even heard of sea lion caves?
Of course they hadn't because they were from out of state.
(28:17):
Right.
So they just, you know.
Right.
They were all Californians.
I actually helped a couple of them tie their ties because they didn't know how to tie it's
high.
It was hilarious.
They still made me leave.
So.
So.
If you feel more comfortable with the guitar, please.
Yeah.
I'm just kind of finger banging that a little bit.
(28:39):
I've seen this kind of thing before.
It happens.
Yeah.
It's a thing.
It's a thing.
Oh, yeah.
Man, are we.
There we are.
How long has that been going on?
Poor Natalie.
Too long.
Way too long.
No, it was only about a minute or two.
(29:02):
Oh, okay.
Okay.
That's great.
So.
So, you were on acid and you joined the frat.
Well, I'm just trying to.
I did not either.
No, you didn't join the frat.
No, I didn't.
But you stayed with them, checked it out, and then the frat boys showed up and everything
(29:22):
wasn't cool.
No.
In the fall.
No, no, no.
I didn't know.
The winner.
You graduated winner, right?
And anyway, so you were.
You're making just random stuff up and that's awesome.
Yeah.
No.
I spent two weeks there because it was free lodging.
And.
Did you.
(29:43):
They were all douchey when they showed up and I never went back.
But that was your freshman year.
So you went.
No, no.
That was the summer before my freshman year.
Oh, really?
Okay.
I was a smarty pants guy.
Okay.
I went to a pre-freshman program.
Oh.
So you were ahead of us all.
Yeah.
(30:04):
Okay.
But you were class of 88.
No.
That's right.
You're a rooster.
What?
We got us a rooster in here.
That's a rooster.
A year of the rooster, which you had your year last year.
87.
87, sir.
87.
88 and 87, there was always a lot of tension between us, you know.
(30:25):
Yeah.
At our school, at Central Catholic, I don't know how it was in Anchorage, but.
In Alaska, there was always tension because it's a very violent place where people die
a lot.
So when you speak of the halfway house, that was a very regular alternative for a lot of
(30:46):
people at that point, for high school students.
Oh, it was great for me.
I learned to play UNO.
Okay, sure.
That's a great game.
We played that a lot.
Was that like the drunk tank?
Is that what you're talking about?
No, no.
It was either that or jail.
Okay.
I was very fortunate in that we fucking played UNO.
(31:11):
Did you have a pool and people bring you drinks?
They were not alcoholic.
You were still confined.
Okay.
It was very relaxing.
It was relaxing.
You know, the funny thing is that they had like a wake room and shit, and then they had
(31:37):
also a pool table.
And when I went to the pool table, I was like, what does it cost?
And somebody goes, are you fucking kidding me?
And yanks it down.
I'm like, oh, you're all criminals.
Of course.
Why would we pay for a pool?
(31:59):
Wow.
It was pretty fun.
So did you, in that criminal realm of Anchorage and the various people you might have known
or grown up with, did you...
Basically, I grew up with criminals.
Okay.
Did you take any of that criminal knowledge and apply it to your experiences in Oregon?
(32:20):
And if so...
Very poorly.
Yeah.
I stole a lighter.
Well, I didn't even mean to steal it, but I stole a lighter from Albertsons and I had
$63 in my pocket.
And I put the lighter in my pocket as I grabbed a 12-pack of beer that I was underage and
not allowed to buy.
(32:42):
And I was giving it to my buddy, but I put the lighter in my pocket and I forgot about
that.
So when we left this market, they attacked my friend for stealing.
Yeah.
And it turned out it was me.
(33:03):
Did they...they couldn't find the lighter and they're like, I know you took that lighter.
Yeah, but they did bust...
But it was your friend.
It was the wrong guy.
No, but they busted me and I was fined $350 for a 99-cent lighter.
Wow.
That's what happens.
Was that at...
I don't know.
What are you doing?
Don't break the law.
I...
Don't break the law.
(33:24):
Was it the 7-Eleven there on 13th Street?
Well, I was going to say you said it was Albertsons.
Albertsons.
Albertsons.
Albertsons Chambers.
Albertsons.
What?
30th and Hilliard?
No, it's by where the...
Out on the way to LCC.
Phil Knight's Kids Center is.
Right.
Right.
The old Otson...
(33:45):
Or Mac...
Wasn't that...
Mac Court, right?
I thought that was a Price Chopper.
Wasn't that Price Chopper?
No, not Mac Court.
They have a new place.
Yeah, it's over by the original Romania Chevrolet, which was originally Silva Chevrolet.
Silva?
Yeah, same family that the Silva Concert Hall was named for in the Holt Center.
Okay.
There you go.
Wow.
Wow.
(34:06):
There's...
Moving right along.
Yeah, moving right along.
Here we are.
The acid thing...
No.
Okay.
It's a thing.
It is a thing.
It's a thing.
No, I was thinking though...
Do you remember Waking the Patriot?
Yes.
So I always...
We don't...
No, no, no.
I was going to talk about...
(34:27):
Are we going to go there?
I was going to talk a little bit about how we know each other, which is I met you, which
must have been your junior year then, or senior year at U of O when you had the Mohawk.
Just back from France or something is the way I recall it.
And it was right before I left and we had just...
The Butler and His Freaks.
(34:47):
There was a big...
I was in this band called The Butler and His Freaks and Steve was in it.
Look at his face.
Steve was in it and we were...
It was...
Boy, there's some footage I can show you from that.
We need to check in with a few people before we do that.
But yeah, great band and it was over by the time I met you.
(35:08):
It was like a flash in the pan thing.
They decided I was not fitting the bill enough.
You weren't freaky enough.
Things change.
Things change in a relationship.
And a band is like having a relationship with four or five, six people sometimes, right?
It gets sweaty.
It's gross.
It gets really gross.
It's a personal...
(35:28):
Hairy, sweaty.
Hairy chest, yeah.
And so anyway, then we meet and...
We start rebuilding things so The Butler turned in this band called Marshall Plan, which was
very rockin' and very popular in Eugene.
(35:50):
Your best moment, I think, was when you stole...
Oh, the Crossroads thing?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah.
That was during...
Yeah, that was a very tense time.
What was that band?
Who is that?
Who is that?
Lance.
Wasn't it...
Lance on drums.
Did you have that guy, Lance, for a while?
No, it was Moist.
There was Moist Boy who was in there.
(36:10):
No, I don't think Moist wasn't...
I mean, he lived there, but he didn't play anymore.
He was the first to leave The Butler and his Freaks, because he...
Again, I don't want to go too far into his past, but...
Whose guitar did he steal?
Oh, yeah.
That was...
It was some hot shot, and I took his guitar and...
(36:32):
And I remember it very clearly.
That was Nathan Hilly?
No.
It was one of those guys, though, I think.
It was at your house.
It was at Whitebird, too.
It was...
It was...
The fucking...
We might have to bleep that out.
This is YouTube.
Oh, sorry.
I don't...
There's families watching this hour right now.
(36:54):
Go on, man.
So, no fucking swearing.
It's okay to talk about that.
Sit down.
LSD is...
They're doing stuff with LSD that's helping with PTSD people now.
Have you heard about that, the micro-dosing?
The Silicon Valley is all about it.
But I don't think they really have PTSD.
They think they're gonna get smarter.
(37:14):
Okay, see...
It's in the Waldorf School.
I'm like, seriously.
That keys and stuff.
You're making millions in Silicon Valley, and you need to get smarter through acid?
Yeah, I think it's...
They're just trying to join the computers.
It's an AI thing, right?
They're trying to...
I mean, look at Zuckerberg, he's halfway there.
(37:35):
Did I say that out loud?
Not on YouTube, I didn't say that.
And I think it sounds like we should take a commercial break.
So we're gonna take a commercial break, and we'll be right back with the captain, Mr.
David Farrell.
939.
So do you think it was only a minute we lost?
(37:57):
Oh, I still don't have this.
Hang on.

I'm trying to...

Are you talking about the Borg thing on there?
No, I'm talking about the bridge itself
I'm figuring out that I have to figure out what to do with it
And I was racking my brain
And I'm really not sure who put me to task
(51:31):
It could have been Wheeler, apparently
He's been keeping an eye on Steve
What kind of a task are you doing?
Goodbye Captain, ride Captain, ride
Are you going back to Alaska?
I wish flames would...
I can do that, there will be flames there
There will be flames
So said he
(51:52):
Take care
All right, all right, busy, busy night here at the old Trench Digger studios
I wasn't prepared for that
I do know that at this time
I am rolling out a plan that I'm pretty sure needs to become accepted by local landscapers and engineers
(52:16):
And we're going to turn the Burnside Bridge into a driving range for everybody
Wow, so it's no longer a bridge, it's a driving range
Or is it a... you can drive through the driving range
It's that kind of a driving range, Jeff
But if you're in a golf car you can drive across
I know, it's confusing
I've never played golf, did you know that?
(52:38):
We've got to go
I'd love to, I've heard such great things and I'm a huge fan of Caddy Shack
So I want somebody who can take what's in my head and create it there on the Burnside Bridge
Because I'm just a harmonica player
But like I said, I came up with this
(53:02):
And don't ask me why, I don't remember who put it forth
But I know there's a sign, there's a sign that said I had to figure it out
I mean, you had to figure it out, you just didn't know it
Right, right, and that's maybe I'm waiting for my sign to collaborate with your sign
So now it's time, we've got, you know, and it sounds kind of communist, I know
(53:27):
I could see it working, maybe you should do like the Seattle thing
Where you drive underneath it but they're playing golf on top of the freeway
Because I could see that working
I think they have a real lollipop sort of texture to it that I would put behind
Well they build a walking bridge, so why not, right?
I can feel that
They'll build anything in this city if enough city commissioners are into it
(53:49):
And getting greased enough, I mean it's a good public cause
It's a lot to get those shiny, well-heeled shiny boys down there
Amongst our local crowd
You know, OHSU spent a ton of money for our community
And has really improved that community right there
In the old Ross Island sand gravel pit there
(54:10):
That's, you know, so there's investments
I think Portland's like a sponsor thing, they want to have like a sponsor name
It'd have to be like the commander's driving, Burnside driving range
With, you know, also Moda Health or something
I know it sounds controversial
It's gonna be a lot to swallow
(54:31):
But she's gonna...
I'm with you, I'm with you, it sounds like a great idea
You know, our community needs a driving range right in the goddamn middle of its city
You know, I don't even know how to play golf when I'm with you
Love it, love it
That's right, and it's about community
And, you know, I...
(54:52):
No one wants to get punched
Well, I'll tell you who wants to get punched
This mayor that we used to have, he was just cruising for a bruising
But now we got this new mayor, and I guess he's not so new
A couple years in
Steve, did you say you saw him recently?
Oh, I sent him, yeah
Well, he's at the old stop there, huh?
(55:13):
Yes, and he looked good, he was sort of dressed down
Is he khakis or something?
Casual pants
Khakis and a casual eyesawed, maybe
Hadn't shaved in a few days, maybe
Right, right, and that's, you know, not shaving in Portland, that's a big thing
But let me tell you, there's a few things I'd like to talk to him about
Oh, yeah
Oh, it's my lovely wife Jamila, how are you?
(55:36):
I'm doing great
I haven't seen you since you were doing Sally Fields
Yeah, yeah, yeah
What's up?
Oh, time to say goodnight
Ted Wheeler
Alright, well, I guess it's that time
Goodnight Ted Wheeler, goodnight
