Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Never me either.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
I have not made it up there.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
I have never made it either. There's an SNL Ladies
and Gentlemen fifty Years of Music exhibit that's going on there.
It's going in there, I should say, it's coming to
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and it's opening
May twenty third. You'll be able to walk through a
recreation of Studio eight h the stage there, and then
(00:27):
revisit the key musical moments from the long running Scutch
Show and the costumes and all of that from the
show's history. I think it's going to be pretty cool,
especially if they're going back to like buck Wheat and
if we're going to go back to when it when
it was real and when it was good and Chevy
Chase and you know, Steve Martin and the two wild
(00:48):
and crazy guys. I'm an Acroyd. If we're going to
go back to all that and see like outfits and
stuff from there, I think that would be fascinating. That's
you know where I'm at. I'm not I don't want
to put words in your mouth.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
To celebrate because of the line of work that we're
in here to celebrate fifty years of Saturday Night Live.
It must include in order for me to think it's good,
Don Pardo out audio, I've got to hear They've got
to have something.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
There Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
He was the guy low from New York Kids Saturday Night.
He worked until he's like eighty four years old.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Man.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Yeah, he was awesome, and that is more than the
big on camera stars. I'd have to hear his voice.
As part of that exhibit.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Questlove has a documentary that is about twenty minutes and
they call it the Edit, and so footage not seen
in the version that's streaming on Peacock will be featured
there as well, in addition to all the other stuff.
But you would think that they're going to have that
audio going, Pardos audio going, you know, on a loop
(01:52):
or whatever in the well as you walk through and
watch it.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
But there was an era of Saturday Night Live too
that's completely forgotten, which kind of bugs me because I
thought it was entertaining. But it was that between the
seventies origins, when it was hilarious and raucous and and
you know when it went downhill, Mary Gross, Tim Kazarinski,
(02:17):
these it was they were during but they were overshadowed
by two guys, Joe Piscopo and Eddie Murphy, who were
in the cast at that time. But there were a
lot of really funny characters and good bits on Saturday
Night Live during that era, and people have forgotten all
about those those comedians because you know, Murphy and Piscopo
took everything.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
I also like the you know, Will Ferrell, I like
that that Chris Catan, some of that stuff was was
funny as well. I always liked and I like this
about Carol Barnette too, because Harvey Korman would bust up
everybody and Tim Conway that I would love when you know,
Carol Burnett would start laughing and Vicky Lawrence, they would
(03:00):
get them going and that was that just added to
the giggle factor when you're watching it. Yeah, I'll never
forget when she comes in wearing that curtain rod and
it was like a shoulder Yeah, sketch as ever man
and so I loved on Saturday Night Live when they'd
(03:20):
be trying to get each other to laugh and stuff.
I just feel like it adds two or three more
layers to the skit. And when they're doing that and
watching them try to stay straight, and it seems like
they could never get Conway. He would always stay pretty straight.
If I'm remembering that right away.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
He was the one who messed everybody up because he'd
play it straight during rehearsals and then during the live show.
And they had they did two Carol Burnett shows every week.
Most people don't know that because he would do stuff
so outrageous sometimes they would lose it to the point
where we have to do the show again. Yeah, so
they had two live audience shows each week just to
compile one on tape for air.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So good, so good man. They just don't do that.
They don't make him like that anymore.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
You know. I just I think I think there are
people out there who have that same ability, that same
talent and humor and everything. But what passes is entertainment
has changed so drastically that there's really no place for them.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, it's like it's got to be now. Today entertainment
is like a bunch of dirty comments and there's there's
no real comedic underlying, you know, cerebral stuff that you
have to kind of think, oh, I get what they're
doing there, which makes it even funnier. But I long
for those which would never work in today's climate with
(04:41):
you know, Archie Bunker and Sanford and Son and we
can go over the whole list.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, but if Norman Lear were still doing his thing
to be assassinated, right, yes, yes, but God bless him
for having the audacity to do what he did with
the characters that they put together. I mean, by today's standards,
James Evans on Good Times, it was an abusive father
because he told JJ exactly what he's gonna do if
(05:07):
he didn't get off the streets, kept playing them gangs,
mom and dad both raising their children together in the
Chicago Project. Yep, that that was awesome stuff, man. And
for you know Jenna Jackson, Oh yeah, Janet was, Yeah, man,
she was. That's a cutie. Back then. Yeah, it couldn't
be done today, and Norman Lear would be just just despised, hated.
(05:29):
Nobody would like this guy. And back then, back then,
he was the liberal, he was the left, he was
the Democrat. He that was the icon that kind of stuff.
And by today's standards, they're exactly the people that would
shut him down and say you can't do this. That's
(05:49):
that's weird stuff I love. Oh my gosh, I mean
that the Chris Everybody Hates Chris. I didn't watch that
till was in reruns, and then you were like, Oh,
that's pretty funny. That's Roger from that, that's my mama
is the funeral director guy that lived upstairs from Everybody
Hates Chris. And then I started noticing he used a
(06:11):
lot of those old school actors that you hadn't seen forever.
That's awesome and that was very cool of him to
do that.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, once again. The SNL Ladies and Gentlemen Fifty Years
of Music Exhibit up in Cleveland at the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame opens May twenty third.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
You will go, if you will go?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
You want to check it out?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Hell?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Does let go?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Yeah? Yeah, I'll definitely go.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I'll be on the back of your bike.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
How about yeah, right, we'll go up on the Harley.
That'll be great. We'll pick a day when it's not raining, hopefully.
So how about one of the congress people was saying,
I think it was a congressman going, if you need
a little pick me up during the day, just check
out the Tesla shares and see how they're plummeting and
I'll give you a little pick me up. Oh my gosh, dude,
(06:53):
I'm not kidding. I might be paraphrasing a little bit there,
but that was the gist of his comment. I said,
these people are so freaking evil right now. They just
want to see Elon Musk explode. And the problem with
that is for them, that'll never happen. The guy's worth
way too much money. And so with Tesla and all
(07:16):
of the stuff going on with them. As you saw
yesterday later in the show, we saw some of the
dealership in Las Vegas. People are throwing molotov cocktails and
these cars were burning. There were shots fired into the
vehicles that were there on the lot. And Elon Musk,
I mean, these violent attacks on the dealerships. He really
(07:40):
seems dumbfounded. Here's the interesting part of this whole thing.
I feel like during this whole time leading up to
this election, he watched what was happening with President Trump,
and I feel like he started to relate with him
and going, wait a minute, this is about saving America
because we're seeing how bad the decline right in front
(08:01):
of our eyes in real time. He was watching that
happen and he's a guy who can affect change. Think
about this. He could just continue on with his and everything.
The Left was pushing him, and you know, he's part
of this clean energy and Tesla and Elon Musk can
do no wrong and so on. It's to the point
the left isn't even most of the mainstream legacy media
(08:24):
wasn't even carrying this. Yesterday. They when the astronauts splashed
down in the Gulf of America, they weren't covering it.
They don't want to cover any of it because it's
shining a positive light on Elon Musk and his shuttle
that brings them back. I mean, it was, it was.
It is so sad to me that they are just
skipping over them, just skipping over that.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
I'm sorry for the grimace on my face. As we
have new screens on in here and I'm watching Tim
Walls parading around on a stage like he's a WWE
and the quote is he's talking about Republican politicians. I
would kick any of their asses. Yeah, what is wrong
with these people?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Please run Tim?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Please?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He's delusional.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Doesn't he understand the referendum that happened with him and
Kamala Let me guess. Let me guess. Tampon, Tim, you
think it's Kamala's fault. That's why you lost. He's going
if I would have been with somebody else, or if
I would have been the presidential nominee and she was the.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
VP, Well says, he scares masculine man or mega men
with his masculine.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Says the guy who loads the tampon into a shotgun.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Oh my god, come on, what a clown show. This
guy is, idiot. You know it's you talk about Musk
being able. He could have just taken the accolades and
the Trump's the same way. Yes, we as America, we
are a big house. We're a really big house with
a whole bunch of leaks in our basement. Or wonder
why the water bills one thousand dollars a month. This
(09:50):
guy is a professional plumber who says, I will come
in and fix all these leaks. We want to grouse
about the noise he's making in the basement, instead of
being appreciative that our water bills about to go down
nine hundred dollars a month. Right, And I don't get it.
I don't understand people being upset about that.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Here he is on Hannity last night. This is a
little clip of him basically just you know, talking about
He almost seems he almost seems confused during it, because
almost like, I haven't done anything wrong. I don't understand
why I'm being so persecuted.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
That there's this level of really hatred and violence from
the left.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I thought the left.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Of the Democrats were supposed to be the party of empathy,
the party of caring, and yet they're burning down cars,
They're fire bombing dealerships, they're firing bullets into dealerships, They're
just you know, smashing up Tesla's. Tesla is a peaceful company.
We've never done anything hawful. I've never done anything howful.
(10:52):
I've only done productive things. So I think we just
have a deranged It's there's there's some kind of mental
illness thing going on here, because this doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, welcome to the Welcome to the show. The illness
that is the left that we have been experiencing. On
the front row seat. He is almost childlike in his assessment, isn't.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He That's exactly the term I would use.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yes, He's like he's like, uh, yeah, I don't understand
why this's happening, you know, like I've never done anything bad.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
But that hatred that Don was talking about a little
while ago. And see, I can't say there's I see
a bunch of righties that say I hate him, I
hate him. We don't understand you. We think you're nuts.
We wish you'd listen, grow up, think about things, but
we don't hate you. But there's plenty of people on
the other side. It's like, I hate those damn Trump
loving Republican mega racist nazi fats. See, we don't get that,
(11:48):
and and it's hard for us to understand that. And
especially if you live in an isolated world where everything
is perfect. Elon's probably like, what what did I do?
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Right?
Speaker 2 (12:00):
He doesn't get it.
Have you been to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Never me either.
