Speaker 1 (00:01):
Dumb in the Morning with Melissa Moore, the podcast on Cool.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
One oh five, and we got this note from Shay.
She is listening in littleton Melissa. She says, I'm going
to your eighty show tonight. I can't wait to finally
meet you guys. Oh that's sweet, sweet, We look forward
to meeting you too. A couple of people, in fact,
have written and say they're going and they're like, how
do we find you? Well, we'll be wearing cool little
(00:26):
five gear. Plus I think we'll probably be up on
stage a couple of times, so pick out what we
look like, and then you know, accost us after we
come off the.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Stage, and if you're like is it you just just ask.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Just come up say hi. We love that. Yeah. But
she says, we went to a concert earlier this summer
where everyone stayed on their feet for the whole show.
I'd had a really long week and wanted to sit
for at least a few songs. But all I would
have seen is the man's butt in front of me.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Oh, that's the worry.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
She goes, It was not a great butt, and then
she adds, I like to stand sometimes too, but not
all the time. Just wondering if I'm the only one
love your show, Shae and littleson Shay, we love you back,
thank you. That's interesting, isn't it, the standards versus the sitters.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
No, And I get it because I feel like there's
other camps too. There's the standards in the sitters, there's
the talkers and the non talkers, and then there's the
singers and the non singers.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Singers Melissa singers.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, singers who know every single word to every song
and they sing it at the top of their lungs.
As you can tell. That is not me. Okay, So
I'm one of those people. And it's so hard because
I don't want to be the fun killer, you know.
I don't want to be that person's like shut up
(01:44):
and sit out. We're at a show. But at the
same time, I was like, I really wanted to hear,
like I was. I saw Sarah McLaughlin last summer at
Red Rocks, and I had been waiting for this show. Okay,
this is like an anniversary show and she's doing my
favorite album and here we go, and the couple next
to us not only did they eat cherries through the
(02:04):
whole entire thing is the problem. No, no, but then
they sang too oh top of their lungs in every song, Oh,
this is my favorite, and I was like, oh, come on, nope.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
I paid to hear her, I know.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then I feel badly because I'm like, you know,
I don't want to be that person. And so it
kind of comes down then to the standers and the sitters,
and there's this whole viral thing going on TikTok right now,
saying can't we all just agree that number one, the
show should not be as long as they used to be,
and number two, we should all sit.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
And I was like, I like to stand sometimes, I
like to sit sometimes. I mean the moment hits during
a concert where you just can't help it and you
jump to your feet.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Everybody's doing it.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
And I'm not an over the top, you know, dramatic person,
but I will get to my feet because I'm just
excited to hear.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
The song, right, And they're usually upperbeat songs, and they're
fun and you can tell that everybody's on the same page,
like this is the song you stand to, and.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
You know the time that you know everyone sits down
is when the artists play their new stuff that nobody's
heard before it. It's like they play their greatest hits.
Everyone's on their feet. They go, Okay, now we're gonna
try something new on you. We just wrote this the
other day, and everyone just like sits.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Down, that's right, and we're here. I'm gonna drink.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
One of my funniest memories was when the Eagles started
touring again back in the nineties.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Oh yeah, the hell Freeze is over tour, the.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Whole thing, and they came I think it was it
Fiddlers as I recall, and I was like, well, I
haven't seen these guys in forever. This is gonna be great.
And I had pretty good seats, they're pretty close whatever.
But the row in front there were two people who
were they how do I say this nicely? They were
the horrible flailing around dancers. Oh yes, and every song
(03:50):
the entire show they're on their feet, arms in the air, swaying, jumping,
turning around facing us and dancing in our face the
entire show. So I rare really saw the actual band
on stage until I finally got out into the aisle
and walked around a little bit. Yeah, just so I
could see it. Because I went to the show, and
(04:10):
I was treated to the two dancers in front with
their arms right, their arms never came down.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
They're like those inflatable things in the car lots.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Yes, you know, exactly like that. And so you are
exactly right because if you say something then you're labeled
no fun correct, And it's like, well that's a bunch
of Oh look, I'll just say it, that's BS.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Right, I am fun. I would just like to see
the show. And to me, it's kind of that thing
where you look around. It's like, if everybody's sitting in
your standing, then sit. And it's not because we don't
want you to have fun, but you're blocking somebody. Yeah,
that's how I always look at it. But then once again,
I don't want to be the fun killer. And if
you say anything or even saying this on I'm just
(04:53):
waiting now for people are like most is the fun killer.
Most don don't like to have fun.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
It's unfair and it it's bogus and it's BS and
those people need to get punched in the nose.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Why it isn't always end with a punch in the face.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, because some people just need that. Why can't we
just say because you stand when you should stand, you
see when you should sit, and you never sing so
loud over every song that people who paid money to hear.
You know Rick Springfield sing, I.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Want to hear him sing Jesse's Girl tonight. All right,
I'm just gonna throw that out there.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
I said, he's not doing that song anymore.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Stop it, you just stop it. That's just it's a lie.
By the way, every woman's like.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
I'm just kidding. No, So what do you think three
oh three, five oh four O one oh five when
everybody goes and Wang Chung's tonight at Siddler's Green with
this song.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
And this is a stand up song, by the way,
this would be perfect to stand.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I would stand up and I would Wang Chung to
this exactly. Shay from Littleton rode in. She was talking
about going to a concert where she didn't mind standing
for a few songs, but sometimes she wanted to sit down,
but all the people in front of her never sat.
She goes. All I would have seen is the man's
butt in front of me. It was not a great butt.
So we were talking about the standards, the dancers, the
(06:08):
singing at their top of their lungers. Danelle says, I
like to have fun, but sometimes I just want to
rest and enjoy the music.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I know.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
I Yet you feel you feel like the party pooper
because you can't really say anything. I mean, everybody's there
just to have a great time, and that's how it
should be.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I think that's unfair.
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Do you you feel like you should be able to
say something to somebody? No?
Speaker 2 (06:30):
No, no, I think it's unfair that you're labeled a
party pooper just because you're not over the top. And
it's like people rate how big of Like I might
be a bigger fan of that band than you are.
I might have every song they've ever done. I might
have been to fifty of their concerts. I'm a bigger
fan than you are. But just because I'm not jumping
(06:53):
around and you know, throwing my shirt in the there,
and so it's like that doesn't make you a bigger fan,
right right.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
But here's my question for you though. So you're buy
somebody and maybe they don't stop singing or they stand
up the whole time, do you say something or do
you just say, Hey, that's them just living their best life.
I'm gonna let them do them and I I'm gonna
sit and that's my choice. And I guess I just
won't see part of it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
If I felt like it would make a difference, I
would say something, but it wouldn't. So why waste your
breath If you turn to somebody, say listen, I really
paid to hear them saying they would flip you off
and do whatever, And then that what you're gonna fight
at a concert? I don't want to that. So here's
the worst. Jaren is listening and wrote in and said,
(07:37):
went to zz Top the other night and was next
to a very obnoxious whistler. What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
That he must have been a good whistler to hear
a whistler over zz Top.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yeah, those people who put like their fingers in their
mouth and do that. Oh that kind of like they're
calling pigs or something. Yeah, they're not whistling along with
their music.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
I'm gonna say, dad gone.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
They're doing that piercing whistle.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Oh oh. But at the same time, I don't know.
Then there's it's kind of like we were talking about
earlier in the show, people not dressing up for anything anymore.
Do you just let people be people to say whatever?
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know what, here's what I think.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
We're all here to have a good time, so just
let people do what they do.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Is it possible? Is it possible to segregate people at
a concert? We'll hear me out now, because you've got
all these different sections, right, what if this section was
the singing and dancing.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Group, So we'll call them the wooers.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
The woo hoos, the I'm not just woo hooers, they're
over there. How do you really feel? The people who
occasionally get up, like like you and I do, like,
oh that's a great song. I'm gonna get up and whatever.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
We'll call those the church goers. They're up and down
from the pews.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
Helljah, it said Jesus.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yes, yeah, you feel it and then you sit back down.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
And then the third section is the people who just
want to go. They're tired or maybe they're older or whatever,
and they just want to sit but still enjoy the show. Right,
why can't we have it segregated like that?
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And we could have that section sponsored by AARP. Well, well,
so what exactly it's like which section You're like, I'm
a woo hooer, I'm going over to the woohoers and.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
If you are in the you know, if you're in
a section that's for sitting and you're a woo hooer,
then you have to leave the show. You get thrown out.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Yeah, like, whoops, we may have miscategorized you.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I'm an idea man, so I think we've got this salt.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But you just have to be comfortable with whatever section
you're in, Like, don't feel bad that you're a woohoer,
You're just a.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Woo who Did you ever see Michael Jackson and coman?
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Oh my gosh, no, But I would have been standing
probably the whole time for that show. Yeah, except for
I'll Be There or whatever. That Jackson five song is
the slow one. I probably would have sat during that
that I would stand, you know. I was just thinking
about concerts. I saw Elton John It's been several years
ago when he add Pepsi Arena, and I remember seeing
(10:04):
him and nobody stood for anything really, and it felt
so weird.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Really, yes, not even like Saturday Nights all right out
rock anything.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Nobody stood and it felt weird. So I don't like
that either. And I was thinking about, like, how can
we all get along? How how can we just get
along people? And maybe it's a fact that if you're
a woo hooer and you knowice the people behind you
or just sitting the whole time, you ask them.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Give them a break for a few songs, or you just.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Say hey, am I blocking you? And then you just
say yeah, you know, and they're okay, I'll sit down for.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
A little bit, for a little bit at least, right, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Because I think everybody, I mean, tonight, it's gonna be
such a great show, and you've just got to go
and just got to leave all the stuff at the
door and just try to be nice to each other
and have a great time. Because we are so lucky
to have like these great shows that come to Denver
like this.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
Can't we all just get along? We just get along time?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
You know me, I'm like, can't we just get hugs
and get along?
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Talking about how she and her husband went to Aerosmith,
she goes, we're the only ones who stood up, she said,
we decided everyone around us was too stoned to stand right.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
That's probably actually legit.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I mean, if Steven Tyler, I mean, if he can
still be jumping around right at his age, I mean,
come on, you can do it. And then Micah. I
always like Micah's notes. She makes me laugh. She goes,
I have the answer, because I thought I had the
answer with my segregated sections. No, no, no, Mike, Micah says,
the answer is the concert shock caller. If they're too
(11:35):
loud or dance outside their seat boundary, they get zapped. Well, Micah,
that's funny. Me buy it this way on the radio, Micah,
I will say I'm appalled, and then privately I'll write
back to you and tell you what a great idea.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
He just wait, he's going to be giving you a
ding on the text line.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, then I'll just give you a d right.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
He's loving your shot color.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
It's very good idea. Anyway, it's all fun. You want
to reach out, you have something to say, you got
something to say. You talking to me.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Your impersonations this week are on fire.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Go make fun of me, Melissa. I not know.
Speaker 3 (12:15):
America's got talent. Watch out here he comes. I love
that song.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
Yeah I knew you did. I knew that was like
your favorite Tom Petty songs.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
You know what's funny is I always wanted to see
Tom Petty at Red Rocks. I always wanted to see him.
I was like, oh, I should go see him. I
should go see him, and then all of a sudden
it was too late, and I was like, well, Dak
gone it. I missed my chance to woo hoo it.
At the Tom Petty show.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
You've been doing the arms in the air, dancing and everything.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
That song, Yes, that song you have to do the
Stevie Nicks arms and dance around and absolutely all day long.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
We were talking about concert etiquette. If you're just tuning
in people who are on their feet for an entire concert,
or they're dancing, they're waving their arms, or they're singing
at the top of their lungs. Yep. Yeah. One person
wrote in so that they were next to a whistler,
you know, death is zz talk.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
That made me laugh because at first I thought they
meant like that kind of whistling, and then Dom's like, no,
I think they mean like calling a pig whistling.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
The yeah here listener Madeline wrote in something about Steve
win Move concert. I've got one of my favorite stories
about this, and I know this is going to make
me an outcast with so many listeners right now, what.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Wait a minute, you I'm sorry, Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Take two One of my favorite funny memories of the
behavior that we're talking about at a concert was a
Steve Winwood concert at Fiddler's Green Higher Love. I don't
remember which tour it was, but it was Steve winn
was okay anyway, And what was funny. I was with
a group of radio people and record company people and
stuff like that, and we were back towards you know
(13:54):
where the the walkway for those of you who've been
to Fiddler's Green, you know the where the seats are
and then there's a walkway and then there's the grass.
So we were on the walkway there, just in front
of the grass, walking around stuff like that, and we
noticed that all of these people had gotten out of
their seats in the seated part and they were all
in the aisles dancing great. But it's Steve Wynnwood. I mean,
(14:18):
it's not like dance music, do you know what I'm
what you're saying. It's not Prince We're gonna play prints
here in a second, it's not you know, Janet Jackson,
and it's not you know, one of those shows. It
was Steve Winwood and the music wasn't even conducive to dancing.
You know what I'm talking about. They're still trying to
get their funk on, you know, and do that. But
(14:40):
it was it's not dance music, and we were just
laughing so hard. And if we had had cell phones
then with video capability, those would have been viral videos
because it was a bunch of old, drunk white people
dancing to music that they had no business dancing too.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
You have a few cocktails in your friends and you
feel like you are incredible. You feel like you're like,
I need to share these moves that are busting through
my body right now.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Go into the symphony orchestra, you know, and jumping out
in the island dancing. Lean'd be the best.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
No, go to the Colorado Symphony and wooo start.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
Dancing in the aisle. Put somebody on your shoulders. Oh yeah, yeah,
minute after nine o'clock. Listen, we've got to move on.
We can't talk about this anymore. However, yeah, big butt. However,
I think the new candidate for Text of the Day
because we've had so many good ones today.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
The Smell my Fart was winning before this.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
But it just got bumped to number two. Okay, Sandy
from Ourvada good old Triple o'er shared it. We were
talking about people at concerts who jump around and dance
and sing and stuff like that. Jump around, Sandy says,
when I was held hostage in Texas, as I refer
to my first marriage. You know, we're already off doing it. Start.
(16:03):
I was like da she said. I went to a
jazz festival in a park. I was on crutches, had
to sit on a blanket while everyone else stood. And
here's where she makes the text of the day. Okay.
She says, I saw a lot of Daisy Duke shorts
with cellulite, and the women were just as bad.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh my gosh, cid Oh, Cindy, Cindy, Cindy.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
She shoots, she's scored. Sidney from ARV had another daning
for you.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I still like, I think the other one's still my favorite.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
All right, Well, got one A and one BS that
that's fine, all right? Theny stories we didn't get to
today that we need to cover.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I don't think so. I feel like, I mean, we've
covered so much. I mean, we've talked, We've talked about
da we've talked about nuclear energy, we've talked about go
to the DCPA last night. See Mulan Rouge, amazing by
the Way again, concert coming up tonight, the heat, the wildfires.
I mean, what more could you want from a morning show?
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Dom Well, a melting glacier in Pakistan revealed the body
of a hiker who went missing twenty eight years ago.
How's that story?
Speaker 3 (17:14):
This story is incredible?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Okay, okay, let's.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Talk about the fact that his clothes were not even torn.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Yeah, he was just frozen, frozen. It's like when you
throw something in your freezer. I mean, it's I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Think he meant for that to happen.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Yes, that was not his plan.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It said he was trying to get away from like
a family feud or something they had. His family had
been fighting.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
There and so he took off to hike a clabe.
At times, I would rather be frozen in ice than
have to put up with some family stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
He fell through a crevice and that's it. That's all
she wrote.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Should I just leave it there?
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I don't know what I mean, Do you have anything
to add to that story? Because that was I just
wanted to know, like how long until he well, I
don't want to say he just stood there, but I mean,
just how awful you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I'll just leave it at the headline. The headline is planning.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
But I just wonder, was he like, hello, hello, Hello hoo?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
What you talking about? He's nuts, you can't hear.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
We're done.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Let it now?
Speaker 4 (18:22):
Yeah, all right, that's your best impression.
