I'm sorry, it's a.

Really complicated lunch today.

I have homemade beef stew so good watching heat up.
Then I had vegetables. I got a broccoli holliflower mix.
Then I had to get some some iceberg lettuce.

Rinsed and ready to go.

For Life Source. Are you a donor on your driver's lessons?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yes, I am as.
Speaker 4 (01:12):
Well, and we have some people coming in for Life Source.
I just was talking to her. Her son had to
have a kidney transplant when he was like eighteen months,
and like, I asked her how long before? It was
like a year. I said, that had been the hardest
part of Oh, comparable and just waiting and waiting and
(01:35):
then you get the call, and she said, and then
it was during COVID because he just celebrated his is
uh fifth.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Kidney anniversary it's five years so he's.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
She said he's seven years old now because I think
it was two years old by the time he got transplants.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
So pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Anyway, let's go ahead and.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Do a little five three four here time Now four.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I have questions, Well actually three, but five sounds like
more than four.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Question number one.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Time now for an in depth look at the state
of the state of hockey as we're falling.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Then I got the day Boars ninth in the stage
the state at a hockey.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Juce and I were talking this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We need as soon as we find out what the
parade route is, he's gonna have to work remotely because
he's gonna have to sit on the person we save
our spot.

Speaker 4 (02:37):
And then when I get off the air, I'll sit
the paride round till eleven. He'll come then I'll sit there,
He'll sit there till three, then I'll come back.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Now, doing it twenty four hours a day might be hard,
but we want to be there for the parade anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Sorry, you had the wild blank the Washington Capitals five
nothing last night at Grand Casino Arena. Vladimir Tarasenko scored
twice and added an the system knowly europ tally to
goal in two assists. Coroll capriesofs at a franchise record
for most powerplay goals while also moving past Miko Koibu
for the second most goals all time for the Wild.
Matt Boldy scored a shorty and Philip Gustafson made twenty
(03:12):
five says for his third shutout of the season. The
Wild extended their points streak at home to thirteen games,
which is tied for the longest in franchise history, and
since November first, the Wild, they're seventeen three and two
common What sticks out to you from last night's Wild
win where you.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Just took every note I I took about the game.
You covered all of it. There's not much more to add.
I did mentioned Quinnhughes other than other.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Than seventeen three and two since remember first, I mean, that's.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I don't know what the NH seventy Coppie could look
it up. They have records for everything. What's the best wins, lost,
ties or I guess that would be winning percentage for
a team in a month of hockey, because.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That has to be I think we're not even best
this year because I think Colorado is okay better than that.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
But yeah, but it both Colorado and one they must
be near. I mean, I just it doesn't that seems
extraordinarily good. Now you follow the league close more closely
than I do now and forever, but that just seems
like that's just astonishing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I mean, that's like, well the while they're doing it
through injuries right now, correct, I know their core guys
are healthy.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, they lost two guys last night. There was like
sixty seven guys.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Did they lose two guys last night's injury as well?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That I see? They lost one?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, I thought they lost another defenseman, which they're already
like three four shorts on the blue line. So quin
Hughes had to played like half the game, which is
it sounds great to me signing me up for that?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Twenty nine minutes he played? What what's normal tend.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
To be if a team is at full strength, you know,
they have all the player most of their players, and
it's just a you know, regular you know four I mean,
there's no I don't know if there's such a thing
as a regular game.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But what a favorite Hughes.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think I saw the graphic on Fendles Sports that
Work the other night that they're averaging around twenty five
minutes on the season, which was like top five in
the league. It's obviously defenseman. There's there's never forwards playing
that much. But yeah, especially if you're in the power play,
he's gonna be out there. He's gonna take up a
bunch of the power plays time.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He's on another level man. He makes everyone around him better.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I got trouble, Oh, I can't find my pink Himalayan.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Salt, but I found it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's so important.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean, Quinn Hughes, he's a one man breakout. Every
time it looks like he's going to be in a
bad spot and he finds a lane to a teammate
that just they seamlessly get out of the zone. That's
what happened in the first goal last night is Quinn
Hughes didn't get a point on it, but him in
Favor's ability to break the puck out with ease got
them into the offensive zone. He's also a lead on
(05:54):
the power play, so that's where Capri Staff got his
rebound goal because Quinn Hughes can get that thing to
the net as well as anybody. I'm extremely excited to
watch him the rest of the way because we have
you know, we've always been talking about here. How you
look at Colorado and they've got McKinnon at center and
macar at defense, and there's nobody in the league that
(06:17):
can replicate, you know, arguably two of the three best
players in.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The league until now.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'm not ready to put Caprice off Quinn Hughes on
that level, but we're as close to that as there
is in the league. Now, we've got two legit superstars
at the forward position in the defense position.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Here's what sticks out more than anything. Tara shink goes back.
He's beating father to He's turned the clock.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But he have two goals last year and well, his
assist was his best play. He went through the legs
and then backhanded just for a tap in for Europe.
He was great last night. He hasn't been very good
this season, and I need to see it more than
one game. I'm not ready to get super excited after
just one performance, but I'm getting pumped out if you
can somehow get that up that performance. Last name from
Tarasenko moving forward, I'll take.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Your share of whatever excitement that you're not ready to
heap upon it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'll take it. I'll double that one and then blame
me when they fall apart. Yeah. I love the kid.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, he's not a kid, he's an old man. He's
at the Phil Rivers of the National Hockey League. I
just love it. It's all coming together for us. This
is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Like I said, they're so beat up physically. They're doing
this all with a bunch of injuries.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm teasing deuced too. He had a game last night.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It was it was Lakeville North against Lakeville South girls hockey.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Right, two teams that don't like each other very much.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Right, And he he texted me and he goes, hey,
could you record the wild game for me? And I
wasn't that funny two weeks ago you weren't asking for
Wild recorded. He's jumped on the band. Everybody's on the
bandway and including me.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
This is now.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
We're gonna somehow turn this into Twins conversation. For years,
the Twins have taken the previous year's attendance and then
tried to size their payroll based off of previous year's attendance.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Revi've always said.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know, occasionally you got to go out and spend
money on a guy and get the fan base excited,
and then they're gonna show up. Like they're always reactionary
to their attendance as a post to right, Like to
your point, Guys like Deuce that might be casual hockey fans,
they're gonna tune in more now because the wild they're
winning and Quinn Hughes is fun to watch, and now
(08:12):
you're gonna bring more of those casuals in, and then
you're gonna get more jerseys sold and you can get
more butts in the seats. Sometimes you gotta spend money
to get money. Maybe where Tom Poladz do the opposite.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Maybe instead of Tom Pohlad taking over in the headshare, you.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Should get that spot.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think I can't do any worse than what they've
been doing. I think you should be the guy that
run the trop put in a word for it.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Next time I run into one of the Plaineaiples is
now a member of that ownership group, so maybe maybe
he'll encourage them to start spending some money.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let's go question number two, my games, Let's win let's games.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
It's now time to take an in depth look at
the state of the school.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You gotta be pumped up. You should be pumped up.
I'm mostly excited about my lunch. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson currently has eight hundred
and thirty two receiving yards, so with three games of play,
he would need to average fifty six yards receiving per
game to reach one thousand yards. If Jefferson reaches one
thousand yards, he would become the third player in NFL
history to reach one thousand yards in each of his
first six seasons. Common will Jefferson get to one thousand
(09:15):
the season, which seems bizarre to ass Well never would imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It seems bizarre too.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It seems as though, I said, well, one of the
in this bright spot that has been the Vikings last
two games with the with the with the anointed franchise quarterback,
has been the one thing that the one negative I
guess has been that there's no relationship on the field
(09:41):
as far as passing and catching that's been established. Any
chemistry between Jets and JJ I would think that would change.
I know that Jets you know that one pass in
the end zone. Was it an end zone pass that
skipped off his fingertips? Yeah, I know, Jets, he took one.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
For the team.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
He said, yeah, you know I should catch that one,
but you know what, and yeah, you could catch it,
but that thing was thrown at about him. You know,
I don't know, this is one hundred and fifty. Yeah,
it's like you can't throw it that hard. But I
don't know if it doesn't seem like what we've.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Heard out of the locker room and from.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Jefferson himself and what we've seen that this is something
that is gnawing at him that he wants to get
to that yardage mark. I think he probably does, but
I don't think it's like he's losing sweep over it.
So will the will the quarterback and the coach try
to maybe force the car because the games are kind
of meaningless, not while they are meets, right other than
just seeing how much team can gel a little bit
(10:41):
particular in the quarterback, Will they try to, you know,
get Jefferson that spot.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
They might very well do so, so, so we'll see.
I don't know if he'll make it or not. That's
that's the ratest going on.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, but like I say, things could change here in
the next next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And that's it for today.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
He's an edition of five Questions, well actually three questions,
but five sounds like more than four.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Rock Talk along with Rock Rank, Rock Rank, Rock Rank.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Coming up next year in the common Man program Fan.
Speaker 2 (11:24):

Speaker 3 (11:55):
It's time now for rock Talk. Excited and delighted to
be joined in studio.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Bye the better half of rock Talk, another than Bryan o'
good man.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I always look forward to coming in here and I
don't know about you. The world is literally on fire
right now, but I have somehow managed to find this
Christmas spirit. You know, it's a weird year for me.
My first year being away from the former family and
it's I was worried it was going to be a
tough one. But despite the fact that everything's literally on fire,
(12:25):
I feel good, man.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So I'm happy to be here. It's good to see you.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We'll talk about your podcast here at another show, because
you do have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
How many episodes?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All? Let's see where now?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
We just know today episode five and forty just published
first thing this morning, so I and some really good
ones this week.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I'll give you the details coming up in a bit.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
So.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
To me, the biggest music story of the week to
me is Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist got engaged
with an on stage proposal.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Did you see it?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I'm afraid that I missed that one. You know, looking
at some I do have some blind spots when the
world of celebrities and music, especially when it comes to
their personal lives. Young Thug and who Mariah her name
is not Mariah Carres No, Mariah the Scientist, Mariah the
Scientist and Young Thug. Well, like all young hopeful couples,
I all I can do is wish Young Thug and
(13:18):
Mariah the Scientist the very best in what's to come.
I mean marriage in the best of circumstances, is trying
in the midst of celebrity and attention that one doubt,
undoubtedly one day will wane.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Tennaby, you're underdog fantasy higher or lower that young Thug
and Mariah the center. We'll actually say I do it
and we'll even get to a wedding ceremony. Or do
you think they'll decide not to get murder before they
even get that.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I'd say that's a better chance. I'm having it till
death to his part.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Where did you say they did the stage right on?
Of course they did. Yeah, No, it's I'd love to judge.
But I asked my ex wife to marry me on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So I know better. I know better.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I'm no better than young thug. Yeah I did that
back in what that would have been ninety five, I think.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, I asked for my wife's hand in marriage in
ninety seven, right on the shores of the North Sea
in the shadows of the Firth of Fourth near Saint Andrews, Scotland.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now see that that's how you're supposed to do it.
But because I am I'm a radio clown. And so
of course I did it on the radio for a
bit because and it wasn't a bit I meant it.
But of course, why would I take one of the
most private and amazing and personal moments of my entire
adult life and put it out on.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
A station that no one was listening to. Wasted opportunity.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Well let me ask you this, when you asked for
the radio, did you get down on bendedtne was a
microphone too high?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
On?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The microphone was too high.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
However, when she did call back in to say yes,
we were still running tape back then, so we couldn't
just take the phone call and put it, you know,
like in a digital file or a chop it up
that way.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We had to get out.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
There with the razor blades and the tape and put
the tape together to play it back on the air.
So it was that long ago enough that went down.
Nobody beats father time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The Rolling Stones have canceled their twenty twenty six tour.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
You saw that it was supposed to be a big,
epic European and UK tour. They were just supposed to
blanket it and this was going to be the big one.
But and again the only thing I saw about it
was that the reason there and it was never officially announced,
but everyone knew it was coming. Is that Keith Richards.
You know his arthritis. Father time is catching up with him,
(15:26):
his arthritis. Said, you've seen his hands for the last
twenty years. I can't believe he can even play a guitar.
Apparently he changed his playing style so he can still
do a semblance of it, but his hands are so narrow.
I can't I can't imagine. He can't do another guitar.
He knows I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He can do a couple of songs here and there,
had a coffee shop, better than that.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
He just can't do it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
And again one of the most iconic riffers of all
times and certainly in the world of rock and roll.
But again, none of us beat it. Man, it's the
one thing we all share. It is what common human
trait that we are all going to check out at
some point. But that said, in his eighties, considering the
life he's led, miraculous right there. The guy's bulletproof, just unbelievable,
(16:06):
and he leaves behind an amazing legacy even if he
never plays live again.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I mean, like a truly unparalleled legacy. What's you know?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I oftentimes wear a headband, right, Yeah, so I had
a headband when I went to a VP gas.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Station one time. I walked in.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I'm not making this up. The kid looks at me
and he goes, He goes, you look like Keith Richard.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I said to him.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I said, walm Keith Richards and for.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
A splits right he went.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And I don't know if I should have taken that
as a compliment or slashed the tires on his car.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, I mean again, Keith.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Got a lot of He's got one hundred miles of
bad rail off.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
He looks like he's been around the block a couple
of times, for sure. I'm kind of surprised. Well, if
your hair was longer, maybe they would have said it.
I would think that younger people might go more for
an axle rose of guns and roses, but no, with
the way you wear your hair. Yeah, Keith Richards and
Keith it is Keith Keith.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Now one other thing before we go to break and
you've got a couple of things to get to rock
ranking a new game I came up.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I love new games.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Who was the first one to do it, but well
maybe it was when Mike Jackson bought all the Beatles
the rights to all their.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Music, oh right, right, and now also selling back catalogs, are.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Selling their back catalogs.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
The Weekend sold his music catalog to Lyric Capital in
a massive deal, and I don't have the specifics, but
that seems kind of strange because he's still kind of
hip now with it on young right, So I'm like,
I can see some of these other peoples, like, you know,
the the aging guys that are in their seventies and
then their eighties, and they're going, you know, I gotta
(17:42):
you start downsizing your life, you know, taking care of
your your your financial things so that you don't But
he's doing it all. The Weekend is already doing it.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I would need to see the particulars because if he's
only it makes sense to me if he's only selling
everything he's done up until today, right, Like, so if
he's giving away the rights of that to somebody else,
that is already a rich and highly profitable catalog. But
he's young enough and still a big enough deal that
he's going to make a lot more music that he
might possibly own. Unless he's given up his rights in perpetuity,
and then I would want to see what the grand
(18:13):
total is of what he's getting paid, because it's like
winning the lottery, right, Do I want to take an annuity?
Or am I taking all my money right now? And
he's probably going to get a freakish nine figure deal
for all that bull that rip music.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Are you willing to sell the rights to your podcast?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Let's just talk. Let's talk. I figured I need to
see numbers.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
We'll take a break, we'll come back.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
We got more rock talk to go all this side
of the break here on the common.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Man program on the fan.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Want to chime into what's happening with your favorite Campan program.
We'll make your voice heard on the Bradshawn Bryan textline.
Wells the time we have to say by texting your
message A six four six eight six. That's six four
six eight six standard message the data right supply.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Talk continues here in the Phantom Comedy's ten to me
Brian Oak with us as well. No offer you talk
to one of the topics you wanted to discuss, and
you know how to run the control board?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I do, I mean not well, but I do.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I think Tenabe would be willing to pay you to
run the control board on Christmas Day for the Vikings
game on Saturday twenty fifth, so he could be there
to watch the halftime entertainment.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I was going to say that sounds like a great
offers no time with my kids, but mone come on, man,
I mean you can always spend time with your kids.
How often do you get to hang out with Snoop Doubleg.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can introduce my kids to Snoopy Owg. Oh there
you go. Well, that's actually probably the best plan of
all of them. Right there, drop it wild, it's hot exactly.
You know we're going to hear that.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
So, like most halftime performances, if people haven't heard, Snoop
Dogg will in fact be in the six to one
Dukes coming up on Christmas Day, he is the halftime
entertainment at us Bank Stadium when the kiddies take on
the Purple and A. I know that we don't have
as much to play for, but it's always enjoyable that
vindictive part of every sports fan, especially Vinkings fans, where
(20:06):
you get to play spoiler at the end of the
season because we know the feeling really well.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
It should be a good game. It's going to be
Christmas Day.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
People are hat fat and happy, looking for an excuse
to not talk to rellies, and who else is going
to be there to guide you through it but the
dog Father.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I'm excited, man. I think it's a great paint. You
think the dog Father we'll do.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Some Christmas songs strictly be off of his his body
of work.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's Christmas Day, so I don't know that he's going
to do any but I'm certain he'll be rocking a
Santa hat. I mean, you know something are something along
those lines. There's obviously going to be a Christmas thing
to it, but I don't know if I'm going to
see if I see him doing a Perry Como Robert
Goulay style holiday medley.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't know if you're going to answer this or
if tend to be ken. But generally speaking, other than
the Big Game, and I guess probably Thanksgiving, NFL games
never have halftime shows. They just don't. But they're doing
one for Christmas. So this is a very special event,
right because like a regular season game, there's no halftime shows.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Well, I'm sure part of it is they were able
to find some extra money, because this is one of
those Netflix shows too, and so Netflix, which has no
shortage of money right now, UH, probably ponied up a
ridiculous amount to say, hey, we we don't just want
the game, especially with where the Purple's at. We need
a little more juice on this one, exactly, And so
the doge is going in exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Thank you, Tenna.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
I say that common you pull the considerable strings that
you have access to and get us.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Let's meet the dog. Let's do it, let's get let's
get a little.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I'm going to be at the game.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
This is Snoop DOGG. Are you really nice?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
So?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I guess it's one of those where I've heard one
Snoop dog song in my life. Yeah, drop it like
it's hot. There, He's he's got a lot. I'd like
like twenty fifth on his listening. I was going to
say the exact same thing to tell.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Me I'm not a big I'm not a rap guy.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I understand hip hop.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I'm just not a ho right right, But I probably
will as long as i'm there.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I'm not going to put in some ear plugs and
I listen to this as long as I'm there, I
guess I'll get my it want to be about a
ten minute dose.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Of I'm curious. I was going to clean up a song? Well,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, that's that's well.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
If there's anybody, though, who's who's expert from deep in
the world of hip hop to cross over into squeaky
clean America and become a pretty singular icon, there's nobody
that occupies the same place that Snoop Dogg does.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh well, he's on one of those, one of those
the voice or one of those.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's why he's done that.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
But I mean even just his like daytime work with
Martha Stewart and Snoop is a genius at branding himself,
and he knows this will be a big stage. I'm
I don't know how he's going to clean him up either,
and I think song selection is going to be pretty important.
But he's got enough hits, enough rich Since he's doing
med leaves, he can hit mostly choruses and navigate around it.
(22:57):
I'm sure they have that mapped out long ago before
we do a little. So I also have the fact
that you know, tragically over the weekend, Rob Reiner and
his wife, longtime producer, both lost their lives being murdered
in their own California home, and the celebrity outpouring has
been unbelievable to the director. You know, Rob Reiner, he
(23:19):
did everything from Spinal Tap to Stand By Me, Misery
When Harry Met Sally, and a movie that's in my
top ten all time, Princess Bride, just one of the
greatest films I've ever seen in my life. And this
guy could do everything, and he was amazing. But Spinal Tap,
if that had been his very first major motion picture,
if that had been the only thing he'd ever done,
he would still be worthy of our praise and our honor.
(23:42):
But people like Paul McCartney came out of the woodwork
because Paul McCartney had a cameo in Spinal Tap two.
The end continues. Yeah, and so on Monday, just a
couple of days ago, McCartney posted on Instagram what a
tragedy the death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle is,
because he, you know, he got to know them pretty
well over that year and a half. He said, it's
so shocking in many ways, but for me especially so
because over the last year I'd been working with him,
(24:04):
he was such an upbeat lovable man. Life can be
so unfair, and this tragedy proves it. His father, Carl Reiner,
was a great humorous before him, and Rob followed in
his dance footsteps, doing a terrific job at making many
great films. I will always have fond memories of Rob,
and the idea that he and his wife will no
longer be in the world with us is heartbreaking. So
I mean, Paul McCartney doesn't get much bigger than that
(24:25):
in the world of rock and roll, coming out as
just an ardent supporter and lover of a man who
clearly loved life and was a great, great artist. Even
Jack Black came out with a little music angle and said, Hey,
any young people that have yet to see Spinal Tap,
do yourself a favor. He said, there's no movie school
of rock without Spinal Tap, and there is no Tenacious D.
(24:45):
I don't want to think of a world where there's
no Tenacious D. So get out there, as Jack Black instructed,
and watch yourself some Spinal Tap. And then finally, I
have one last little note before we get into your
game or rock rank. Here, we all know that in
the modern era, the number one most recognized figure associated
with holiday music. Unfortunately is Mariah Carey, and she's got
a little song that's awesome. Well why unfortunately, Well, because
(25:09):
it's Mariah Carres is excellent?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, well excellent, Yes, yes she is. Well. Her sales
and records prove that.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So regardless of one's personal opinion, you're the fact that
you just said cannot be denied. She said, another record
with All I Want for Christmas, which is now broken
the all time record four weeks at number one, twenty
weeks at number one. No other song has ever done it.
So congratulations to the self proclaimed Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey,
(25:36):
for an achievement that I don't think will be broken
in our lifetime.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
How much timey?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We have?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Ten?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Because I was gonna squeeze in my little game too,
any one. I just came up with, Yeah, we had
like ten minutes, tall minutes. Okay, then I wish you
had the music play the rock rank open and I'll
just talk over the We haven't put an open for
this together yet, but it's gonna be really good.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Yeah, rock words rock ran rock words, rock rock words,
rock rock words rock.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I'm going to give you a lyrics some songs before
you tell me about this game. You know how some
songs they nail it so hard on the demo, like
Adele's someone Like You, that they don't go back and
re record it, They just use the demo.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I think that we were just all present for that
right there. We just did. Okay, what is what are
rock words?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Rock words?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I'm gonna give you some words to a lyric. You
tell me the artist and the song.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
We're going to do some rock work on this title.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Okay, you're ready? Okay, still don't know what I was
waiting for and my time was running.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Why do you want me to stop you as soon
as I know? Or do you want me to Is
that the game? Like the second I know, because as
soon as you said I still don't know, I already
knew the answer. It's David Bowie's changes.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I knew you'd get that one.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, we started, we'd easy win.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
But I thought I wanted I didn't know if you
wanted to let the lyrics breathe and have me answer
at the end, or you want me to beep in
as soon as.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know, I bee in it? Does want to say
to the rest of us you should just let let
it breathe. I agree. So the rest of us nine time.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Was running why the million dead end streets, and every
time I thought I got it made the taste, which
seem the taste was not so sweet. So I turned
myself to face me. But I never caught a glimpse
of how the others see the faker. I am much
too fast to take that test correct to changes. Okay,
(27:19):
the next song I have for you here, Okay, hold
on because I just added that once. I have to
scroll because I made sure I put these down so
I wouldn't screw them up. Okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Here's my next one. No, that's a football quote.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Of that one. I will this one all right. Regrets.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I've had a few, but then again too few to mention.
I did what I thought I had to do, and
I saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course,
each careful step along the byeway.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
The most famous artist to ever do that song, of course,
would be Frank Sinatra's My Way Correct. Yeah, but it's
not for get that Sid Vicious did a pretty of
the sex Pistols. He did a pretty great solo version
of that as well. Yes, I'm kidding, he did not.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Okay, next, see if you can get this all right,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
It's so easy to blow up your problems. It's so
easy to play up your break down. It's so easy
to fly through a window. It's so easy to fool
with the sound. It's so tough to get up. It's
so tough. It's so tough to live up. It's so
tough on you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It's it's a shame that I can't sing along in
that sweet, sweet croon that Benjamin Orr had, But that
would be the Cars Moving in Stereo, an all time
classic off one of my favorite albums of all time.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
See if you get this one, okay, hit me, because
in my head there's a greyhound station where I send
my thoughts to far off destinations, so they may have
a chance of finding a place where they're far more
suited than here. I cannot guess what we'll discover when
we turn the dirt with our palms cup like shovels,
(29:07):
but I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
and not one speck will remain.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Man, I thought I had it right away, and now
I'm not so sure, So I'm going to just guess
what my gut went with. Originally, I those sound like
the words of one Paul Simon, so I'm going to
go with it's not It's two.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Thousand and eight City's ninety seven special. That's why I
pulled this one out of No.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
When you hit me with the first stands again the
first four lines.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Because in my head there's a Greyhound station where I
send my thoughts to far off destinations, so they may
have a chance of finding.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
A place where they're far more suited than here.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I cannot guess what we'll discover when we turn the
dirt with our palms cup like shovels, but I know
our filthy hands can wash one another's and not one
speck will remain.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I got nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
The song is called Soul meets Body, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
By Death Cab for Cuty. I guess I never listened
to that part closely enough. Yeah, yeah, no, I know
the song Death Cab Cuty, Death Cab for Cuty. Actually
didn't think allowed that in me.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
A little shout out to Walla Walla, Washington and our
good friend Ben and Gibberd and his band Death Cab
for Cutie They're a great, great band.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He's a good singer songwriter. He was in studio Cee.
I can't I can't believe I didn't get that one.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, I thought I didn't know because I know that's
right in your wheel. It's because of where you work. Yeah,
but we'll do that, you know.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And so I wanted to make I took something from
Sinatra in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And then we jumped to what was this, Oh we
did a bowie Yeah from seventies, yep cars from eighties.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Look in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
See what what demo doesn't the common man appeal to?
We appealed to them all exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And it's time now for.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Rock Rock Rank Rock Rock Rank Rock, Rock, Rank Rock Rock.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm not sure if we're gonna have Oak in or
not next week. So I kind of did a week
ahead and went with the holiday them. And after listening
to Oak talk, I already know that one of my
top five songs will not be in the less but
we're gonna we're gonna go Christmas related today. Oak your
top five Christmas songs all the time, I dig it.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
Some of these are well known, others are not. But
these and again this is almost impossible. I collect a
holiday music, and I have for many, many years. There
are so many variations, there are so many absolute landmark
classic albums, it's impossible to boil it down to five.
But as of yesterday, this was my favorite five Christmas
songs that I could think of. Number five on my
list is actually a Minnesota band called Low mostly known
(31:40):
for their low fi indie style drone. It made them
actually internationally acclaimed. But they put out an EP some
years ago called Christmas Simply, and it's five songs, some
very sacred, some secular, and there's a song on there
called just Like Christmas that maybe puts me in the
mood faster and better and more effectively for the holidays
anything else. I wish we could play some of it,
(32:02):
but of course we can.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
How about you. Are you guys doing it?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
No, I don't know in your opinion? Then okay, fine?
Then ndn't be Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas?
Well I and again she's absolutely an honorable mention. I
don't love that song, nor do I like Wham's Last Christmas, nor,
speaking of Paul McCartney, do I care for simply having
a wonderful Christmas time. I don't hate them, but there's
so much else out there that is just as good.
(32:28):
It's just not as popular.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So number four, though everybody here loves, okay, well like
some Number four for me is Darlene Love.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Minds Frosty the Snowman, remember a lot?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
What's wrong with that? Although your shirt it's burr lives.
I think that's Rudolph the Red Nose rand Okay, very good?
Do you have a number five? I didn't know you
had a list, So Darlene Love, I'll tell you. I'll
mention mine here, Darlene Love at number four. Christmas Baby,
Please come home. The big giant phil Spector Wallace sound
the bells come chiming in and the opening line is
(33:01):
there's snow coming down. I mean it's baby, please come
home for Christmas. This is when I'm walking around, you know,
as the shoppers rush home with their presence, and it's snowing,
and it's holiday time and it's crunch time. I don't
know if there's a more definitive song than Darly and
loves Christmas Baby Please Come Home.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Isn't frost of the Snowman in Rudolf the Red noles
or any of the same song, just different lyrics. Rude
off the red nose right pretty close though you're not bad,
jolly Alli soul pipe and a button nose of col
There must have been some magic and okay, we're not
(33:40):
doing that right now. Number three for me is The Carpenters.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
The Carpenters have two separate Christmas absolute opuses. They have
a couple of albums. Karen Carpenter's voice either you love
it or you don't, But the way she sings love it.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
You're crazy.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I couldn't agree more. But the Carpenters have yourself a
merry little Christmas. That time where you are or everyone
else is asleep, You're sitting there looking at the lights,
drinking your drink or maybe some peppermint tea, snuggled in,
You got fifteen quiet minutes to yourself. Carpenters always works,
and have yourself a Merry Little Christmas is the definitive
(34:14):
rendition of that song, at least in the Oak household.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Number what an armory on out?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Number two Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash is a whole host.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Oh yeah, so sorry, We're a couple of miss fits
from Rudolf.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The familiar with it.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
That's both Rudolph and Hermie singing that they're not, but
they both ran away because they were misfits.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
We're a couple of miss fits. Second favorite Christmas song.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Think about the lesson of that movie though, and that song.
You are such an outcast, so different from everyone else.
We've driven you away, Oh wait until we really need
you for something, and then we have, we welcome you
back with open arms, and all is forgiven. Not cool
man number two Johnny Cash, when you talk about the
legacy of Christmas and what it really means. Because the
shopping and the lights and the crazyiness and the tunes,
(35:00):
they're all very fun, but really this is a time
about reflection and thinking about what we've done, where we're going,
and at the coldest, darkest time of the year, reaching
out and showing a caring hand for your fellow man,
whatever form that may take. And Johnny Cash writes a
song about Christmas when he was young as a sharecropper
and what it was like for his families and just
how poor those people were. He has a great song
(35:21):
called what Christmas Means to Me. If you got any
scrooges in your life who need to be reminded that
there are good stories out there, and there are important
and real reasons for celebrating this season. Uh, you should
listen to Johnny Cash what Christmas means to me?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Here's my number two? Or did already you did hit
it again? Well here's my number one?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Are you ready? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
We are Santazel.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Now we are Santazel. I have this soundtrack at home.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Do do do do?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We are Santazel.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
We don't like to bray.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
But dude, you, I mean you're literally singing back to
me what I listened to last night. I have that
whole record. I put together a music list for the
record store I work at and I DJ every Saturday
from ten to two. Now that it's the holiday season,
I am spiking in all the holiday music with the
regular stuff. And we are Santa's Elves already has a
place on this Saturday's list.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It's ho ho at the very end. It's fantastic number
one for me all time.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
You know who did go on we are Santa's Elves
video Craft chorus.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
That videocraft course, that's the name of them. Did you
just look that up on your handheld computer? I didn't
know that.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I'm not going to plaim that I knew that I
have all their albums.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Well, all you need really is the one and number
one for me is Bing Crosby and David Bowie. The
last thing that Bing Crosby ever did. They did that
for a TV special and they did a mashup of
two songs, Peace on Earth and Little Drummer Boy, and
you can tell that bings at the end. But David
Bowie is still very much in his vital prime. But
it's sweet, it's heartfelt, it's sacred, it's secular, and it
(36:51):
is to me, the definitive holiday song of the modern era.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Honorable mentioned for me would be All I Want for
Christmas is my two front teeth.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Now you have a podcast, I do five hundred and
forty episodes deep. The Brian Oaks Show podcast is very
locally focal focused Minnesota type things. Earlier this week we

uh fifth.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Kidney anniversary it's five years so he's.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
So pretty cool.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Anyway, let's go ahead and.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Do a little five three four here time Now four.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
I have questions, Well actually three, but five sounds like
more than four.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Question number one.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
Time now for an in depth look at the state
of the state of hockey as we're falling.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Then I got the day Boars ninth in the stage
the state at a hockey.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Juce and I were talking this morning.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
We need as soon as we find out what the
parade route is, he's gonna have to work remotely because
he's gonna have to sit on the person we save
our spot.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Sure between now and when will the praibe in June?
Speaker 4 (02:37):
And then when I get off the air, I'll sit
the paride round till eleven. He'll come then I'll sit there,
He'll sit there till three, then I'll come back.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Now, doing it twenty four hours a day might be hard,
but we want to be there for the parade anyway.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Sorry, you had the wild blank the Washington Capitals five
nothing last night at Grand Casino Arena. Vladimir Tarasenko scored
twice and added an the system knowly europ tally to
goal in two assists. Coroll capriesofs at a franchise record
for most powerplay goals while also moving past Miko Koibu
for the second most goals all time for the Wild.
Matt Boldy scored a shorty and Philip Gustafson made twenty
(03:12):
five says for his third shutout of the season. The
Wild extended their points streak at home to thirteen games,
which is tied for the longest in franchise history, and
since November first, the Wild, they're seventeen three and two
common What sticks out to you from last night's Wild
win where you.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Just took every note I I took about the game.
You covered all of it. There's not much more to add.
I did mentioned Quinnhughes other than other.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Than seventeen three and two since remember first, I mean, that's.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
I don't know what the NH seventy Coppie could look
it up. They have records for everything. What's the best wins, lost,
ties or I guess that would be winning percentage for
a team in a month of hockey, because.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
That has to be I think we're not even best
this year because I think Colorado is okay better than that.
Speaker 4 (04:01):
But yeah, but it both Colorado and one they must
be near. I mean, I just it doesn't that seems
extraordinarily good. Now you follow the league close more closely
than I do now and forever, but that just seems
like that's just astonishing.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
I mean, that's like, well the while they're doing it
through injuries right now, correct, I know their core guys
are healthy.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Well, they lost two guys last night. There was like
sixty seven guys.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Did they lose two guys last night's injury as well?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
That I see? They lost one?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
Okay, I thought they lost another defenseman, which they're already
like three four shorts on the blue line. So quin
Hughes had to played like half the game, which is
it sounds great to me signing me up for that?
Speaker 5 (04:41):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Twenty nine minutes he played? What what's normal tend.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
To be if a team is at full strength, you know,
they have all the player most of their players, and
it's just a you know, regular you know four I mean,
there's no I don't know if there's such a thing
as a regular game.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
But what a favorite Hughes.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think I saw the graphic on Fendles Sports that
Work the other night that they're averaging around twenty five
minutes on the season, which was like top five in
the league. It's obviously defenseman. There's there's never forwards playing
that much. But yeah, especially if you're in the power play,
he's gonna be out there. He's gonna take up a
bunch of the power plays time.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
But he was.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
He's on another level man. He makes everyone around him better.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
I got trouble, Oh, I can't find my pink Himalayan.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Salt, but I found it.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
It's so important.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I mean, Quinn Hughes, he's a one man breakout. Every
time it looks like he's going to be in a
bad spot and he finds a lane to a teammate
that just they seamlessly get out of the zone. That's
what happened in the first goal last night is Quinn
Hughes didn't get a point on it, but him in
Favor's ability to break the puck out with ease got
them into the offensive zone. He's also a lead on
(05:54):
the power play, so that's where Capri Staff got his
rebound goal because Quinn Hughes can get that thing to
the net as well as anybody. I'm extremely excited to
watch him the rest of the way because we have
you know, we've always been talking about here. How you
look at Colorado and they've got McKinnon at center and
macar at defense, and there's nobody in the league that
(06:17):
can replicate, you know, arguably two of the three best
players in.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
The league until now.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I'm not ready to put Caprice off Quinn Hughes on
that level, but we're as close to that as there
is in the league. Now, we've got two legit superstars
at the forward position in the defense position.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Here's what sticks out more than anything. Tara shink goes back.
He's beating father to He's turned the clock.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
But he have two goals last year and well, his
assist was his best play. He went through the legs
and then backhanded just for a tap in for Europe.
He was great last night. He hasn't been very good
this season, and I need to see it more than
one game. I'm not ready to get super excited after
just one performance, but I'm getting pumped out if you
can somehow get that up that performance. Last name from
Tarasenko moving forward, I'll take.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Your share of whatever excitement that you're not ready to
heap upon it.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
I'll take it. I'll double that one and then blame
me when they fall apart. Yeah. I love the kid.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
Well, he's not a kid, he's an old man. He's
at the Phil Rivers of the National Hockey League. I
just love it. It's all coming together for us. This
is a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Like I said, they're so beat up physically. They're doing
this all with a bunch of injuries.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
I'm teasing deuced too. He had a game last night.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
It was it was Lakeville North against Lakeville South girls hockey.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Right, two teams that don't like each other very much.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
Right, And he he texted me and he goes, hey,
could you record the wild game for me? And I
wasn't that funny two weeks ago you weren't asking for
Wild recorded. He's jumped on the band. Everybody's on the
bandway and including me.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
This is now.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
We're gonna somehow turn this into Twins conversation. For years,
the Twins have taken the previous year's attendance and then
tried to size their payroll based off of previous year's attendance.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Revi've always said.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
You know, occasionally you got to go out and spend
money on a guy and get the fan base excited,
and then they're gonna show up. Like they're always reactionary
to their attendance as a post to right, Like to
your point, Guys like Deuce that might be casual hockey fans,
they're gonna tune in more now because the wild they're
winning and Quinn Hughes is fun to watch, and now
(08:12):
you're gonna bring more of those casuals in, and then
you're gonna get more jerseys sold and you can get
more butts in the seats. Sometimes you gotta spend money
to get money. Maybe where Tom Poladz do the opposite.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
Maybe instead of Tom Pohlad taking over in the headshare, you.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Should get that spot.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
I think I can't do any worse than what they've
been doing. I think you should be the guy that
run the trop put in a word for it.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Next time I run into one of the Plaineaiples is
now a member of that ownership group, so maybe maybe
he'll encourage them to start spending some money.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Let's go question number two, my games, Let's win let's games.
Speaker 6 (08:46):
It's now time to take an in depth look at
the state of the school.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
You gotta be pumped up. You should be pumped up.
I'm mostly excited about my lunch. It's so good.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson currently has eight hundred
and thirty two receiving yards, so with three games of play,
he would need to average fifty six yards receiving per
game to reach one thousand yards. If Jefferson reaches one
thousand yards, he would become the third player in NFL
history to reach one thousand yards in each of his
first six seasons. Common will Jefferson get to one thousand
(09:15):
the season, which seems bizarre to ass Well never would imagine.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
It seems bizarre too.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
It seems as though, I said, well, one of the
in this bright spot that has been the Vikings last
two games with the with the with the anointed franchise quarterback,
has been the one thing that the one negative I
guess has been that there's no relationship on the field
(09:41):
as far as passing and catching that's been established. Any
chemistry between Jets and JJ I would think that would change.
I know that Jets you know that one pass in
the end zone. Was it an end zone pass that
skipped off his fingertips? Yeah, I know, Jets, he took one.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
For the team.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
He said, yeah, you know I should catch that one,
but you know what, and yeah, you could catch it,
but that thing was thrown at about him. You know,
I don't know, this is one hundred and fifty. Yeah,
it's like you can't throw it that hard. But I
don't know if it doesn't seem like what we've.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Heard out of the locker room and from.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Jefferson himself and what we've seen that this is something
that is gnawing at him that he wants to get
to that yardage mark. I think he probably does, but
I don't think it's like he's losing sweep over it.
So will the will the quarterback and the coach try
to maybe force the car because the games are kind
of meaningless, not while they are meets, right other than
just seeing how much team can gel a little bit
(10:41):
particular in the quarterback, Will they try to, you know,
get Jefferson that spot.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
They might very well do so, so, so we'll see.
I don't know if he'll make it or not. That's
that's the ratest going on.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
No, but like I say, things could change here in
the next next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
And that's it for today.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
He's an edition of five Questions, well actually three questions,
but five sounds like more than four.
Speaker 4 (11:06):
Rock Talk along with Rock Rank, Rock Rank, Rock Rank.

It's time now for rock Talk. Excited and delighted to
be joined in studio.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Bye the better half of rock Talk, another than Bryan o'
good man.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I always look forward to coming in here and I
don't know about you. The world is literally on fire
right now, but I have somehow managed to find this
Christmas spirit. You know, it's a weird year for me.
My first year being away from the former family and
it's I was worried it was going to be a
tough one. But despite the fact that everything's literally on fire,
(12:25):
I feel good, man.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
So I'm happy to be here. It's good to see you.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
We'll talk about your podcast here at another show, because
you do have a podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
How many episodes?
Speaker 1 (12:32):
All? Let's see where now?
Speaker 6 (12:34):
We just know today episode five and forty just published
first thing this morning, so I and some really good
ones this week.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
I'll give you the details coming up in a bit.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
So.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
To me, the biggest music story of the week to
me is Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist got engaged
with an on stage proposal.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Did you see it?
Speaker 6 (12:55):
I'm afraid that I missed that one. You know, looking
at some I do have some blind spots when the
world of celebrities and music, especially when it comes to
their personal lives. Young Thug and who Mariah her name
is not Mariah Carres No, Mariah the Scientist, Mariah the
Scientist and Young Thug. Well, like all young hopeful couples,
I all I can do is wish Young Thug and
(13:18):
Mariah the Scientist the very best in what's to come.
I mean marriage in the best of circumstances, is trying
in the midst of celebrity and attention that one doubt,
undoubtedly one day will wane.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
We'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
Tennaby, you're underdog fantasy higher or lower that young Thug
and Mariah the center. We'll actually say I do it
and we'll even get to a wedding ceremony. Or do
you think they'll decide not to get murder before they
even get that.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
I'd say that's a better chance. I'm having it till
death to his part.
Speaker 6 (13:47):
Where did you say they did the stage right on?
Of course they did. Yeah, No, it's I'd love to judge.
But I asked my ex wife to marry me on
the radio.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
So I know better. I know better.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
I'm no better than young thug. Yeah I did that
back in what that would have been ninety five, I think.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Yeah, I asked for my wife's hand in marriage in
ninety seven, right on the shores of the North Sea
in the shadows of the Firth of Fourth near Saint Andrews, Scotland.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
Now see that that's how you're supposed to do it.
But because I am I'm a radio clown. And so
of course I did it on the radio for a
bit because and it wasn't a bit I meant it.
But of course, why would I take one of the
most private and amazing and personal moments of my entire
adult life and put it out on.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
A station that no one was listening to. Wasted opportunity.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Well let me ask you this, when you asked for
the radio, did you get down on bendedtne was a
microphone too high?
Speaker 2 (14:41):
On?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
The microphone was too high.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
However, when she did call back in to say yes,
we were still running tape back then, so we couldn't
just take the phone call and put it, you know,
like in a digital file or a chop it up
that way.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
We had to get out.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
There with the razor blades and the tape and put
the tape together to play it back on the air.
So it was that long ago enough that went down.
Nobody beats father time.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
The Rolling Stones have canceled their twenty twenty six tour.
Speaker 6 (15:05):
You saw that it was supposed to be a big,
epic European and UK tour. They were just supposed to
blanket it and this was going to be the big one.
But and again the only thing I saw about it
was that the reason there and it was never officially announced,
but everyone knew it was coming. Is that Keith Richards.
You know his arthritis. Father time is catching up with him,
(15:26):
his arthritis. Said, you've seen his hands for the last
twenty years. I can't believe he can even play a guitar.
Apparently he changed his playing style so he can still
do a semblance of it, but his hands are so narrow.
I can't I can't imagine. He can't do another guitar.
He knows I can't do it.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He can do a couple of songs here and there,
had a coffee shop, better than that.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
He just can't do it, you know.
Speaker 6 (15:44):
And again one of the most iconic riffers of all
times and certainly in the world of rock and roll.
But again, none of us beat it. Man, it's the
one thing we all share. It is what common human
trait that we are all going to check out at
some point. But that said, in his eighties, considering the
life he's led, miraculous right there. The guy's bulletproof, just unbelievable,
(16:06):
and he leaves behind an amazing legacy even if he
never plays live again.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I mean, like a truly unparalleled legacy. What's you know?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
I oftentimes wear a headband, right, Yeah, so I had
a headband when I went to a VP gas.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Station one time. I walked in.
Speaker 4 (16:21):
I'm not making this up. The kid looks at me
and he goes, He goes, you look like Keith Richard.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
I said to him.
Speaker 3 (16:28):
I said, walm Keith Richards and for.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
A splits right he went.
Speaker 4 (16:35):
And I don't know if I should have taken that
as a compliment or slashed the tires on his car.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Yeah, I mean again, Keith.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Got a lot of He's got one hundred miles of
bad rail off.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
He looks like he's been around the block a couple
of times, for sure. I'm kind of surprised. Well, if
your hair was longer, maybe they would have said it.
I would think that younger people might go more for
an axle rose of guns and roses, but no, with
the way you wear your hair. Yeah, Keith Richards and
Keith it is Keith Keith.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Now one other thing before we go to break and
you've got a couple of things to get to rock
ranking a new game I came up.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I love new games.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:09):
Who was the first one to do it, but well
maybe it was when Mike Jackson bought all the Beatles
the rights to all their.
Speaker 6 (17:16):
Music, oh right, right, and now also selling back catalogs, are.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Selling their back catalogs.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
The Weekend sold his music catalog to Lyric Capital in
a massive deal, and I don't have the specifics, but
that seems kind of strange because he's still kind of
hip now with it on young right, So I'm like,
I can see some of these other peoples, like, you know,
the the aging guys that are in their seventies and
then their eighties, and they're going, you know, I gotta
(17:42):
you start downsizing your life, you know, taking care of
your your your financial things so that you don't But
he's doing it all. The Weekend is already doing it.
Speaker 6 (17:51):
I would need to see the particulars because if he's
only it makes sense to me if he's only selling
everything he's done up until today, right, Like, so if
he's giving away the rights of that to somebody else,
that is already a rich and highly profitable catalog. But
he's young enough and still a big enough deal that
he's going to make a lot more music that he
might possibly own. Unless he's given up his rights in perpetuity,
and then I would want to see what the grand
(18:13):
total is of what he's getting paid, because it's like
winning the lottery, right, Do I want to take an annuity?
Or am I taking all my money right now? And
he's probably going to get a freakish nine figure deal
for all that bull that rip music.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Are you willing to sell the rights to your podcast?
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Let's just talk. Let's talk. I figured I need to
see numbers.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
We'll take a break, we'll come back.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
We got more rock talk to go all this side
of the break here on the common.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Man program on the fan.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Want to chime into what's happening with your favorite Campan program.
We'll make your voice heard on the Bradshawn Bryan textline.
Wells the time we have to say by texting your
message A six four six eight six. That's six four
six eight six standard message the data right supply.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
Talk continues here in the Phantom Comedy's ten to me
Brian Oak with us as well. No offer you talk
to one of the topics you wanted to discuss, and
you know how to run the control board?
Speaker 1 (19:10):
I do, I mean not well, but I do.
Speaker 4 (19:12):
I think Tenabe would be willing to pay you to
run the control board on Christmas Day for the Vikings
game on Saturday twenty fifth, so he could be there
to watch the halftime entertainment.
Speaker 6 (19:23):
I was going to say that sounds like a great
offers no time with my kids, but mone come on, man,
I mean you can always spend time with your kids.
How often do you get to hang out with Snoop Doubleg.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
I can introduce my kids to Snoopy Owg. Oh there
you go. Well, that's actually probably the best plan of
all of them. Right there, drop it wild, it's hot exactly.
You know we're going to hear that.
Speaker 6 (19:44):
So, like most halftime performances, if people haven't heard, Snoop
Dogg will in fact be in the six to one
Dukes coming up on Christmas Day, he is the halftime
entertainment at us Bank Stadium when the kiddies take on
the Purple and A. I know that we don't have
as much to play for, but it's always enjoyable that
vindictive part of every sports fan, especially Vinkings fans, where
(20:06):
you get to play spoiler at the end of the
season because we know the feeling really well.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
It should be a good game. It's going to be
Christmas Day.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
People are hat fat and happy, looking for an excuse
to not talk to rellies, and who else is going
to be there to guide you through it but the
dog Father.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
I'm excited, man. I think it's a great paint. You
think the dog Father we'll do.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Some Christmas songs strictly be off of his his body
of work.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
It's Christmas Day, so I don't know that he's going
to do any but I'm certain he'll be rocking a
Santa hat. I mean, you know something are something along
those lines. There's obviously going to be a Christmas thing
to it, but I don't know if I'm going to
see if I see him doing a Perry Como Robert
Goulay style holiday medley.
Speaker 4 (20:44):
I don't know if you're going to answer this or
if tend to be ken. But generally speaking, other than
the Big Game, and I guess probably Thanksgiving, NFL games
never have halftime shows. They just don't. But they're doing
one for Christmas. So this is a very special event,
right because like a regular season game, there's no halftime shows.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Well, I'm sure part of it is they were able
to find some extra money, because this is one of
those Netflix shows too, and so Netflix, which has no
shortage of money right now, UH, probably ponied up a
ridiculous amount to say, hey, we we don't just want
the game, especially with where the Purple's at. We need
a little more juice on this one, exactly, And so
the doge is going in exactly.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Thank you, Tenna.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
I say that common you pull the considerable strings that
you have access to and get us.
Speaker 1 (21:33):
Let's meet the dog. Let's do it, let's get let's
get a little.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I'm going to be at the game.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
This is Snoop DOGG. Are you really nice?
Speaker 7 (21:40):
So?
Speaker 4 (21:40):
I guess it's one of those where I've heard one
Snoop dog song in my life. Yeah, drop it like
it's hot. There, He's he's got a lot. I'd like
like twenty fifth on his listening. I was going to
say the exact same thing to tell.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
Me I'm not a big I'm not a rap guy.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
I understand hip hop.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
I'm just not a ho right right, But I probably
will as long as i'm there.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
I'm not going to put in some ear plugs and
I listen to this as long as I'm there, I
guess I'll get my it want to be about a
ten minute dose.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Of I'm curious. I was going to clean up a song? Well,
that's it.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Well, that's that's well.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
If there's anybody, though, who's who's expert from deep in
the world of hip hop to cross over into squeaky
clean America and become a pretty singular icon, there's nobody
that occupies the same place that Snoop Dogg does.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh well, he's on one of those, one of those
the voice or one of those.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
That's why he's done that.
Speaker 6 (22:37):
But I mean even just his like daytime work with
Martha Stewart and Snoop is a genius at branding himself,
and he knows this will be a big stage. I'm
I don't know how he's going to clean him up either,
and I think song selection is going to be pretty important.
But he's got enough hits, enough rich Since he's doing
med leaves, he can hit mostly choruses and navigate around it.
(22:57):
I'm sure they have that mapped out long ago before
we do a little. So I also have the fact
that you know, tragically over the weekend, Rob Reiner and
his wife, longtime producer, both lost their lives being murdered
in their own California home, and the celebrity outpouring has
been unbelievable to the director. You know, Rob Reiner, he
(23:19):
did everything from Spinal Tap to Stand By Me, Misery
When Harry Met Sally, and a movie that's in my
top ten all time, Princess Bride, just one of the
greatest films I've ever seen in my life. And this
guy could do everything, and he was amazing. But Spinal Tap,
if that had been his very first major motion picture,
if that had been the only thing he'd ever done,
he would still be worthy of our praise and our honor.
(23:42):
But people like Paul McCartney came out of the woodwork
because Paul McCartney had a cameo in Spinal Tap two.
The end continues. Yeah, and so on Monday, just a
couple of days ago, McCartney posted on Instagram what a
tragedy the death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle is,
because he, you know, he got to know them pretty
well over that year and a half. He said, it's
so shocking in many ways, but for me especially so
because over the last year I'd been working with him,
(24:04):
he was such an upbeat lovable man. Life can be
so unfair, and this tragedy proves it. His father, Carl Reiner,
was a great humorous before him, and Rob followed in
his dance footsteps, doing a terrific job at making many
great films. I will always have fond memories of Rob,
and the idea that he and his wife will no
longer be in the world with us is heartbreaking. So
I mean, Paul McCartney doesn't get much bigger than that
(24:25):
in the world of rock and roll, coming out as
just an ardent supporter and lover of a man who
clearly loved life and was a great, great artist. Even
Jack Black came out with a little music angle and said, Hey,
any young people that have yet to see Spinal Tap,
do yourself a favor. He said, there's no movie school
of rock without Spinal Tap, and there is no Tenacious D.
(24:45):
I don't want to think of a world where there's
no Tenacious D. So get out there, as Jack Black instructed,
and watch yourself some Spinal Tap. And then finally, I
have one last little note before we get into your
game or rock rank. Here, we all know that in
the modern era, the number one most recognized figure associated
with holiday music. Unfortunately is Mariah Carey, and she's got
a little song that's awesome. Well why unfortunately, Well, because
(25:09):
it's Mariah Carres is excellent?
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Yeah, well excellent, Yes, yes she is. Well. Her sales
and records prove that.
Speaker 6 (25:15):
So regardless of one's personal opinion, you're the fact that
you just said cannot be denied. She said, another record
with All I Want for Christmas, which is now broken
the all time record four weeks at number one, twenty
weeks at number one. No other song has ever done it.
So congratulations to the self proclaimed Queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey,
(25:36):
for an achievement that I don't think will be broken
in our lifetime.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
How much timey?
Speaker 2 (25:40):
We have?
Speaker 1 (25:40):
Ten?
Speaker 4 (25:40):
Because I was gonna squeeze in my little game too,
any one. I just came up with, Yeah, we had
like ten minutes, tall minutes. Okay, then I wish you
had the music play the rock rank open and I'll
just talk over the We haven't put an open for
this together yet, but it's gonna be really good.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
It's gonna be great.
Speaker 7 (25:54):
Yeah, rock words rock ran rock words, rock rock words,
rock rock words rock.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
I'm going to give you a lyrics some songs before
you tell me about this game. You know how some
songs they nail it so hard on the demo, like
Adele's someone Like You, that they don't go back and
re record it, They just use the demo.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
I think that we were just all present for that
right there. We just did. Okay, what is what are
rock words?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Rock words?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
I'm gonna give you some words to a lyric. You
tell me the artist and the song.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
We're going to do some rock work on this title.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Okay, you're ready? Okay, still don't know what I was
waiting for and my time was running.
Speaker 6 (26:33):
Why do you want me to stop you as soon
as I know? Or do you want me to Is
that the game? Like the second I know, because as
soon as you said I still don't know, I already
knew the answer. It's David Bowie's changes.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
I knew you'd get that one.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Yeah, yeah, we started, we'd easy win.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
But I thought I wanted I didn't know if you
wanted to let the lyrics breathe and have me answer
at the end, or you want me to beep in
as soon as.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
I know, I bee in it? Does want to say
to the rest of us you should just let let
it breathe. I agree. So the rest of us nine time.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
Was running why the million dead end streets, and every
time I thought I got it made the taste, which
seem the taste was not so sweet. So I turned
myself to face me. But I never caught a glimpse
of how the others see the faker. I am much
too fast to take that test correct to changes. Okay,
(27:19):
the next song I have for you here, Okay, hold
on because I just added that once. I have to
scroll because I made sure I put these down so
I wouldn't screw them up. Okay, Okay, here we go.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Here's my next one. No, that's a football quote.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Of that one. I will this one all right. Regrets.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
I've had a few, but then again too few to mention.
I did what I thought I had to do, and
I saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course,
each careful step along the byeway.
Speaker 6 (27:53):
The most famous artist to ever do that song, of course,
would be Frank Sinatra's My Way Correct. Yeah, but it's
not for get that Sid Vicious did a pretty of
the sex Pistols. He did a pretty great solo version
of that as well. Yes, I'm kidding, he did not.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It was terrible.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Okay, next, see if you can get this all right,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
Let's go.
Speaker 4 (28:15):
It's so easy to blow up your problems. It's so
easy to play up your break down. It's so easy
to fly through a window. It's so easy to fool
with the sound. It's so tough to get up. It's
so tough. It's so tough to live up. It's so
tough on you.
Speaker 6 (28:33):
It's it's a shame that I can't sing along in
that sweet, sweet croon that Benjamin Orr had, But that
would be the Cars Moving in Stereo, an all time
classic off one of my favorite albums of all time.
Speaker 4 (28:46):
See if you get this one, okay, hit me, because
in my head there's a greyhound station where I send
my thoughts to far off destinations, so they may have
a chance of finding a place where they're far more
suited than here. I cannot guess what we'll discover when
we turn the dirt with our palms cup like shovels,
(29:07):
but I know our filthy hands can wash one another's
and not one speck will remain.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
Man, I thought I had it right away, and now
I'm not so sure, So I'm going to just guess
what my gut went with. Originally, I those sound like
the words of one Paul Simon, so I'm going to
go with it's not It's two.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
Thousand and eight City's ninety seven special. That's why I
pulled this one out of No.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
When you hit me with the first stands again the
first four lines.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Because in my head there's a Greyhound station where I
send my thoughts to far off destinations, so they may
have a chance of finding.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
A place where they're far more suited than here.
Speaker 4 (29:44):
I cannot guess what we'll discover when we turn the
dirt with our palms cup like shovels, but I know
our filthy hands can wash one another's and not one
speck will remain.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
I got nothing.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
The song is called Soul meets Body, Oh.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
By Death Cab for Cuty. I guess I never listened
to that part closely enough. Yeah, yeah, no, I know
the song Death Cab Cuty, Death Cab for Cuty. Actually
didn't think allowed that in me.
Speaker 6 (30:10):
A little shout out to Walla Walla, Washington and our
good friend Ben and Gibberd and his band Death Cab
for Cutie They're a great, great band.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He's a good singer songwriter. He was in studio Cee.
I can't I can't believe I didn't get that one.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Yeah, I thought I didn't know because I know that's
right in your wheel. It's because of where you work. Yeah,
but we'll do that, you know.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And so I wanted to make I took something from
Sinatra in the sixties.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
And then we jumped to what was this, Oh we
did a bowie Yeah from seventies, yep cars from eighties.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Look in two thousand and eight.
Speaker 6 (30:42):
See what what demo doesn't the common man appeal to?
We appealed to them all exactly.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
And it's time now for.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Rock Rock Rank Rock Rock Rank Rock, Rock, Rank Rock Rock.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
I'm not sure if we're gonna have Oak in or
not next week. So I kind of did a week
ahead and went with the holiday them. And after listening
to Oak talk, I already know that one of my
top five songs will not be in the less but
we're gonna we're gonna go Christmas related today. Oak your
top five Christmas songs all the time, I dig it.
Speaker 6 (31:18):
Some of these are well known, others are not. But
these and again this is almost impossible. I collect a
holiday music, and I have for many, many years. There
are so many variations, there are so many absolute landmark
classic albums, it's impossible to boil it down to five.
But as of yesterday, this was my favorite five Christmas
songs that I could think of. Number five on my
list is actually a Minnesota band called Low mostly known
(31:40):
for their low fi indie style drone. It made them
actually internationally acclaimed. But they put out an EP some
years ago called Christmas Simply, and it's five songs, some
very sacred, some secular, and there's a song on there
called just Like Christmas that maybe puts me in the
mood faster and better and more effectively for the holidays
anything else. I wish we could play some of it,
(32:02):
but of course we can.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
How about you. Are you guys doing it?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
No, I don't know in your opinion? Then okay, fine?
Then ndn't be Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas?
Well I and again she's absolutely an honorable mention. I
don't love that song, nor do I like Wham's Last Christmas, nor,
speaking of Paul McCartney, do I care for simply having
a wonderful Christmas time. I don't hate them, but there's
so much else out there that is just as good.
(32:28):
It's just not as popular.
Speaker 6 (32:30):
So number four, though everybody here loves, okay, well like
some Number four for me is Darlene Love.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Minds Frosty the Snowman, remember a lot?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
What's wrong with that? Although your shirt it's burr lives.
I think that's Rudolph the Red Nose rand Okay, very good?
Do you have a number five? I didn't know you
had a list, So Darlene Love, I'll tell you. I'll
mention mine here, Darlene Love at number four. Christmas Baby,
Please come home. The big giant phil Spector Wallace sound
the bells come chiming in and the opening line is
(33:01):
there's snow coming down. I mean it's baby, please come
home for Christmas. This is when I'm walking around, you know,
as the shoppers rush home with their presence, and it's snowing,
and it's holiday time and it's crunch time. I don't
know if there's a more definitive song than Darly and
loves Christmas Baby Please Come Home.
Speaker 4 (33:18):
Isn't frost of the Snowman in Rudolf the Red noles
or any of the same song, just different lyrics. Rude
off the red nose right pretty close though you're not bad,
jolly Alli soul pipe and a button nose of col
There must have been some magic and okay, we're not
(33:40):
doing that right now. Number three for me is The Carpenters.
Speaker 6 (33:43):
The Carpenters have two separate Christmas absolute opuses. They have
a couple of albums. Karen Carpenter's voice either you love
it or you don't, But the way she sings love it.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
You're crazy.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
I couldn't agree more. But the Carpenters have yourself a
merry little Christmas. That time where you are or everyone
else is asleep, You're sitting there looking at the lights,
drinking your drink or maybe some peppermint tea, snuggled in,
You got fifteen quiet minutes to yourself. Carpenters always works,
and have yourself a Merry Little Christmas is the definitive
(34:14):
rendition of that song, at least in the Oak household.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Number what an armory on out?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Number two Johnny Cash, Johnny Cash is a whole host.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Oh yeah, so sorry, We're a couple of miss fits
from Rudolf.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
The familiar with it.
Speaker 6 (34:30):
That's both Rudolph and Hermie singing that they're not, but
they both ran away because they were misfits.
Speaker 3 (34:35):
We're a couple of miss fits. Second favorite Christmas song.
Speaker 6 (34:39):
Think about the lesson of that movie though, and that song.
You are such an outcast, so different from everyone else.
We've driven you away, Oh wait until we really need
you for something, and then we have, we welcome you
back with open arms, and all is forgiven. Not cool
man number two Johnny Cash, when you talk about the
legacy of Christmas and what it really means. Because the
shopping and the lights and the crazyiness and the tunes,
(35:00):
they're all very fun, but really this is a time
about reflection and thinking about what we've done, where we're going,
and at the coldest, darkest time of the year, reaching
out and showing a caring hand for your fellow man,
whatever form that may take. And Johnny Cash writes a
song about Christmas when he was young as a sharecropper
and what it was like for his families and just
how poor those people were. He has a great song
(35:21):
called what Christmas Means to Me. If you got any
scrooges in your life who need to be reminded that
there are good stories out there, and there are important
and real reasons for celebrating this season. Uh, you should
listen to Johnny Cash what Christmas means to me?
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Here's my number two? Or did already you did hit
it again? Well here's my number one?
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Are you ready? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (35:40):
We are Santazel.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Now we are Santazel. I have this soundtrack at home.
Speaker 7 (35:46):
Do do do do?
Speaker 3 (35:47):
We are Santazel.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
We don't like to bray.
Speaker 6 (35:51):
But dude, you, I mean you're literally singing back to
me what I listened to last night. I have that
whole record. I put together a music list for the
record store I work at and I DJ every Saturday
from ten to two. Now that it's the holiday season,
I am spiking in all the holiday music with the
regular stuff. And we are Santa's Elves already has a
place on this Saturday's list.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
It's ho ho at the very end. It's fantastic number
one for me all time.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
You know who did go on we are Santa's Elves
video Craft chorus.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
That videocraft course, that's the name of them. Did you
just look that up on your handheld computer? I didn't
know that.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
I'm not going to plaim that I knew that I
have all their albums.
Speaker 6 (36:29):
Well, all you need really is the one and number
one for me is Bing Crosby and David Bowie. The
last thing that Bing Crosby ever did. They did that
for a TV special and they did a mashup of
two songs, Peace on Earth and Little Drummer Boy, and
you can tell that bings at the end. But David
Bowie is still very much in his vital prime. But
it's sweet, it's heartfelt, it's sacred, it's secular, and it
(36:51):
is to me, the definitive holiday song of the modern era.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Honorable mentioned for me would be All I Want for
Christmas is my two front teeth.
Speaker 6 (36:57):
Now you have a podcast, I do five hundred and
forty episodes deep. The Brian Oaks Show podcast is very
