the number one song. And Cohen said, dentally people coincident,

are talking a year before Kiss though. This was my

(12:15):
very first rock band. Guess my dad kind of guided me,
uh and whatever. But but anyways, if I.

Speaker 6 (12:25):
Go ahead, Rolling Stones missed you, Jis Downing cut it.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
No, No, my first my football yeah, first of all,

so before fucking seeking Samiy sings a podcast.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
All right, so the song, so the song, but.

Yeah, this Paul McCartney wings, I love him, but the
number one song in the United States of America May
twenty fifth, nineteen seventy eight, the year of our Lord,
Paul McCartney and Wings.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
The song is called with a little luck.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Oh cool, that's a great pot I would have got

Oh hell yeah, man, Hey, well, let's get into something.
I do know something about this album. Man, all right,
I ride, Let's get into this.

Speaker 3 (13:39):
You ready, I'm ready, brother, all right?

Speaker 2 (13:42):
Man?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Track one rock and roll damn Nason, Oh man, dude,
this is a cool rocking tune. Definitely not reinventing the wheel.
I mean, it's typical ac DC, but goddamn man, this
song got stuck in my head. Man, I freaking loved it.
Rock and roll damnation. They got a cool little live

(14:02):
video for it. Too, man, what do you think? What
do you think of rock and roll Damnation? Way?

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Yeah, I mean those videos as the years keep marching on,
they keep popping up, but that one's been around a while.
That is so sick as fuck. Yeah, I think it's definitive.
I think it's prior to you know, a little tidbit
of fame. They're still dirty, they're still hungry and everything

(14:29):
and uh and then the song title just says it all.
Rock and roll Damnation basically a celebration of the power
and rebellious spirit of rock music generally, while acknowledging its potential.
It's potential for excess and self destruction. And if anybody

(14:50):
really knows the situation with Bond, Scott enough set.

Speaker 1 (14:56):
So oh yeah, rock and roll Damnation.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
Yeah. And on the real on the out live album
that came out a few months later, if you want blood,
holy shit, it's like ten times more combustible, more like
fucking crazy heavy. But yeah, yeah, on the reel, but
that whole album is sick as fuck.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
I think I've listened to that album.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Yeah, I believe that, not that I believe I haven't
got rid of it comes out later in this year.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Oh, okay, cool.

Speaker 2 (15:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Yeah. Unfortunately I don't have good notes, but it comes
out like in September of October, but it's sick as fucked. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
And here's the deal. Rock and Roll Damnation five out
of five, Chop.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Six, Hell yeah, why don't you take a track number two?
Down Payment Blues.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah. Bond's lyrics, I mean the thing about like I
don't have to read some stupid notes to say this,
but his lyrics are just I mean, as a kid,
I didn't get him, but they're just so clever and
so amazing and everything and and and they're like they're funny,
and they're fucking at times dark, I mean just I mean,

(16:14):
I I really don't have much to say about Down
Payment Blues except.

Speaker 4 (16:20):
Five out of five top six.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
By hell yeah, I got something to say about Down
Payment Blues. Happened to me as simple as the as
this song and these songs are they just rock man,
the soul of freaking rips man. You can tell the
angus is just cranked to eleven and just freaking going off.

Speaker 2 (16:43):
Man.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I mean, he's he's really hitting his his lead guitar,
playing stride by this album. You know, he's really really
starting to refine it, man, and he's just you can
tell he's just going off man. And man, I gotta
ask you a question about this song of this album.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
Way are you a bro? Well, yeah, I'm always ready.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
Ready okay, Wang check it out. What famous guitar player,
what famous guitar player is this?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
This is his favorite ac DC song down Payment Blues,
and he loves the Power Rage album, but this is
his favorite ac DC song of all time and off
of this album. What famous guitar player am I talking about?

Speaker 3 (17:36):
I would say Kurt Hammon.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Eh no, nope, nope, nope, nope. Well I'm gonna put
the clip up here in a minute, but it is
Eddie van Halen. Oh wow, Eddie van Halen came out, man,
and he said this is his favorite song and here's
what he had to say about it.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
And favorite easy easy songs off of an album called
Power Ridge called Boumpy Loose.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Just a power sure.

Speaker 1 (18:11):
It just didn't gold Field.

Speaker 8 (18:12):
It's like, you know, he just feel it, you know,
and it makes you vibrate.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Yeah, man, that's what Andy had to say about it. Man.
He just loves this song man. And yeah, man, that's awesome. Man,
that's awesome, dude. Yeah, I had to had to throw
that little tidbit in there.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Oh that that was.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
That was brilliant, secret tell me. And I am really
pissed off at myself for not getting that because.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Dude, I didn't know. I didn't know either.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
I literally no, you're the producer, so you figured that out.

Speaker 3 (18:46):
But all that van Halen ship by Sam lowis the
van Halen guy. If you recall backstage, I believe in
New York Madison Square Garden, they were playing the Rolling
Stone some and ac DC power aggs.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
That's cool, that's cool. But what's ironic about this is you.
You suggested to review this album like a few days,
you know, last week.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
And literally literally.

Speaker 5 (19:18):
Just days before you said this album, I saw that
y van Halen.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
Clip and I was like, no way. I was like,
no way, this is cool, man, this is cool.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Fuck out?

Speaker 3 (19:29):
No fuck yeah, dude, fuck out.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
Man.

Speaker 1 (19:32):
So so there you go, ac DC van Halen connection.

Speaker 5 (19:36):
Oh track that three, give me a bullet, oh man,
thumping little bass and drum, intro guitar and vocals kicking
in give another you know, it gives it another typical
ac DC song.

Speaker 3 (19:52):
But who cares?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Man, You know thinking, you know, they didn't. They didn't
reinvent the wheel on this album. They didn't have any
big hits.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
But this, this.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Album freaking rocks, man. It just it just rocks. Man.
What do you think could give me a give me
a bullet way?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
I think Bomb Scott was the most amazing lyricist, so
fucking badass, I mean, and this song, I mean just
so I think he at the time it was so
whether people nowadays ac DC's mainstream and everything, but trust me,

(20:31):
but trust.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Me, in nineteen seventy eight, there were not in the.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Very few thirty year old people were rocking the ac
DC power age. If you deny that once again, suicide
ac all this music only teenagers and very early twenties.
There was not. This was considered anyways. The song is
sick as fuck, dude. I love this shit, and I mean,

(21:02):
what is it about? And I'm with smart bands with
smart lyrics. I like to dissect the lyrical content. Obviously,
you know, I'm not going to dissect a fucking kiss
song or a Motley Cruz song or whatever. But but
this motherfucker was so fucking badass, and it took me

(21:23):
as an adult to get it but I mean, what's
the song about. I mean, just the fucking lines are
just literally talking about biting on a bullet and everything.
But I mean, if you want to give a basic observation,
what my interpretation of the songs about, It's about a
man struggling with the calculated cruelty of a recent breakup.

(21:51):
Five top sis.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Yeah Man, Yeah Man, Bond and Bond wrote some thought
provoking lyrics.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Man.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I gotta say that that man. I didn't dwell into
him too, too deep or anything, because, like I said,
I never heard this album before, so I just was
kind of checking out the music. But yeah, man, he
he he lived life on the edge man and wasn't
afraid to talk about it.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
That's oh he wasn't, man, which makes him so much
of a legend.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Hell yeah, hell yea brother, fuck yeah brother hell yeah.
Track number four riff rap won don't you go ahead
take riff raff?

Speaker 3 (22:29):
Way yeah man, riff raff. I mean, there's really not
much to say about it though that it's sick as
fucking fuck. It's one of my favorite AC songs. It
has been since I was you know, they're.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Set for a while too, from what I believe.

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh cool, yeah man. I mean it's
so trippy that the lyrics are just so simple and everything,
but how do we know what they were really talking about?
But my interpretation, the layman's term of my interpretation, it's

(23:09):
about the band's struggles and hardships they faced while touring
and playing that kind of music, and people always trying
to fucking shist them and fuck them over and everything,
and and and again. Not to keep repeating myself again,
I love this album, but this song on the live

(23:29):
album that comes out in a few months down the road,
if you want blood, holy fuck holy, it just it's
it's it's not as extreme as the the first three
Kiss albums, and then Alive makes them like ten billions.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
It's this is still close enough, but no way, jose Man.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
That live album makes riff rap just so much heavier
and everything. But our focus is on this and it's
sick as fuck. I love it.

Speaker 4 (24:03):
Five out of five toxics.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Hell yeah man, riff raff Man I wrote, I wrote.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
A guitar chord cacophony of an intro man. He's just
playing those chords, just building it up to a cool,
up tempo riff and.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
It's just dude, Angus is just again just letting it
rip on this solo.

Speaker 3 (24:24):
Man.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
I mean, holy cow, I mean, I just can't say
enough about his lead playing. Man, I mean, holy shit.

Speaker 3 (24:33):
This album went from a guitar player right sick it's down.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
I was very blown away by listening to this, because
what what album came before this? Let there Be Rock,
Let there Be Rock? Okay, that was rocking. I remember
some of the tunes before that, and before that was
Dirty D's Done, Dirt cheap right well no, no, well
was before Let there Be No No.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
No, but yeah in Australia, but in America, as you
and me talk to other.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Name, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter what what album
was it It was Dirty Deeds, then Let there Be Rock,
and then power.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
Age, right yeah technically yes.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
Yeah yeah yeah. So anyway, anyway, what I'm getting at
is his guitar.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Yeah, what the fuck are you getting that?

Speaker 3 (25:23):
Anyways?

Speaker 1 (25:24):
How much his guitar playing matured from freaking the infancy
of like the first albums up to Dirty Beds, Because
I mean he he was not playing this this technical
in this precise man. He was just on this album. Man,
he just she's unloading. Man, it's fucking awesome, dude.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Well, first of all, as I've said it, you're the
guitar player, so fucking right on, brother, Yeah, man, I mean,
and and and on top of that, you're the guitar player.
And you just admitted to the world, all the millions
of people watching our podcast you never heard no hold

(26:10):
on that you never heard this record in full up
and til the research to this album. You know. That's
that's pretty admirable and everything that you would say that.
So I'll respect brother.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Yeah. And I could just hear the progression in his
playing from from the albums that I'm used to prior
to this album, and it's just it's just insane, man.
I mean, he's just like fucking letting it written. Man.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
It's awesome, brother, Hey, yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
All right man.

Speaker 5 (26:41):
Track five sid City Man another cool rocking tune. No
US singles were released, but if if they were, I
would I would I would think.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
That, uh, this would have been the best candidate in
my You No Tell tells of the allure of the
allura dangers of a metaphorical city of sin, not necessarily
Las Vegas and all its trappings. You know, YadA, YadA, YadA.
But man Killer, saw Man, Killer Rocking saw Man. What

(27:11):
do you think of Sin City? What?

Speaker 3 (27:14):
Well, first of all I want to give I want
to bow down when you come to our town. You
just used a fifty word. Did you just say a metaphorical.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
Way, Yeah, metaphorical city?

Speaker 2 (27:30):
That was.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Hell yeah man, because it's they're not talking about Vegas,
They're just talking about any any old metaphorical city that
they're in. They're going to turn it into Sin City.
You know.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
It's like, yeah, man, Mega, I'm playing. I'm not trying,
I'm not being serious. You are the man, my brother,
Hey man, I'm serious. I'm telling you, DC man. They
deserve to be taken serious. And I respect the official

(28:06):
respect that you're giving it and giving this a professional
podcast of ours.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
But when I heard metaphorically speaking or whatever, the the
the alarm bells when I'm off, holy shit, I mean
it was like you might as well have said gymnasium man.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, well you're spot on, bro, spot on.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
And not to keep repeating myself, it's cool talking to you.
You doing this pocket. You never heard this fucking album before.
You heard, like I believe, like two or three songs.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Yeah, So so that's cool, that's cool.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
I fun this album once on YouTube while I was
driving around.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
But you know, just right.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
On, brother, right on, right on. But I wasn't.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
I wasn't giving it. I wasn't giving it, you know,
or listen to like where I was gonna dissect it
or anything right right now?

Speaker 3 (29:00):
No, right on, brother, right on. So my take on
Sin City is I believe that it was written about
and dare I'm not. I'm gonna say something different it.
The obvious pick is what you just said, las Vegas,

(29:21):
not me, not me. I think this basically had a
genesis and a real life experience a Bond Scott in
Sun City, Sun City, South Africa, South Africa. I mean,
do you you know? So yeah, I mean it's the

(29:46):
obvious take is Vegas. But I think it's a real
life experience for Bond Scott in South City in South Africa.
So I don't know. I don't know if you know
about the I'm not gonna do a quiz, but are
you aware of the history of South Africa?

Speaker 1 (30:05):
No? No, I heard, so you're you're unaware of a part.
I know that I know that Little Steven got together
and wrote a song about it and they boy cotted
it for some reason.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Okay, right on. So but you're you're not you're not
you're not a scholar.

Speaker 1 (30:22):
You can't find it, all.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
Right, cool? Right on, brother, honestly the best policy. So yeah, man,
So yeah, I that's what I think. And I know
that's a on the A C in the A C
D C. Like like us with kiss we're like, you know,
retarded kiss heads, right, we are like basically embarrassing, be

(30:48):
honest about it is what it is. So A c
DC fans they listen when I say that, like even
way more hardcore ac DC fans would me. You know,
I say, sounds like talk myself. You know, it's like wow, interesting.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
So yeah, So there you go, man, five out of
five top sis back?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Hell yeah? Cool way take number six. What's next to
the moon?

Speaker 3 (31:12):
Yes, And before I get to What's next to the Mune,
I want to ramble off some musical and a few
real life shit of what happened in nineteen seventy eight,
the year of Our Lord.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Hell yeah, let's do this.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Yeah yeah, yeah, for show for show. So on January fourteenth,
nineteen seventy eight, the Year of Our Lord, the sex
Pistols played their very final show in San Francisco at
the Winter Lamb Ballroom, and all us Kiss nerds know
all about the Winter Lamb Ballroom. Yeah so, and yes,

(31:51):
I know before you all written me that's not their
last show, but it really is. I mean the reunion
shit in ninety six. I'm sorry, yeah, yeah, I mean
it was cool.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
I wish I was there, but it was a statement.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Kiss was at the Shoreland. No at the that was
a arena anyways.

Speaker 1 (32:11):
So all right.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
So then then on January thirtieth, Journey released the Infinity
album Oh Cool Yeah, And then on February fourth, Beg's
the BG Stump the BEG songs stay in a Line
Alive Excuse Me hit number one on the Billboard one

(32:35):
hundred hell yeah yeah. And then on February tenth, the
year nineteen seven, eighth Year of Our Lord, Varon Halen's
debut album was released, and coincidentally, Judas Priestous Stained Glass
Class came out, and then on yeah absolutely, and then
on April second, this one goes out to Seek It

(32:58):
Stanley the.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
The the.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Television program that basically started everything as far as primetime
soap operas takings down his favorite Dallas makes his debut
Oh Scott b s d Seekings Down all Right, and
then on June sixth, nineteen seventy eight, The Amazing Car's

(33:24):
debut album was released. Then and then and then on
June ninth, Stone Rolling Stones, Some Girls. August fifteenth, Boston's
second album, Don't Look Back. August twenty, first, The Who
Who Are You comes out, and then about three weeks later,

(33:46):
The Who's Keith Moon is found dead at thirty two dead,
and then on September eighteenth, nineteen seventy eight, then the
Kiss solo albums are released, then Yeah, and then a
few more here, and then on September twenty ninth, nineteen
seventy eight, Black Sabbath releases Never Say God, Never Say God,

(34:11):
and then a little twist here. On October fourteenth, nineteen
seventy eight, US President Jimmy Carter signs a bill allowing
the United States citizens to make beer and their home
and allowed come brewing, and for the most part, basically
was the torch that lit the fire of the home brewing.

Speaker 4 (34:34):
Crap year that followed.

Speaker 9 (34:36):
If it was not for Jimmy Carter, but he did,
That's about and then and then two more on October
twenty fourth, Rolling Stone's Keith Picture Keeps Guilty The herold Protected,
and then on November seventeenth.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
The police gave new album Please an amazing album. November seventeenth,
Uhlandos de War, ain't go see Stanley. It sounds like
it's rained there.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
Yes it is.

Speaker 4 (35:09):
I get here and it just stopped there.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
You go?

Speaker 3 (35:14):
All right?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Man? So, uh, what do you think of What's next
to the Moon?

Speaker 3 (35:18):
Mag Ai brother? It's getting me refocused? Well, ho, hold
on before I get to that. What'd you think about
all that shit? What did you think about nineteen seventy
a dude, awesome year, man, awesome year, anything except for
that Dallas bullshit fucked ells? Alright, alright, what's it next

(35:41):
to the moon? Lyrics are a massive trip? I don't know, man.
It sounds to me like Bog's lover didn't satisfy him
so he killed her.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
I mean I could get I can go and talk
about the.

Speaker 4 (36:00):
Fall of the Roman Empire meets You and overtones, but
I won't. I got a five chough sy.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Hell yeah, What's next to the Moon? For me? It
sounds just like another stock ac DC song.

Speaker 10 (36:16):
Will this album rocks hard. It's no highway to Hell
or back in black. Unfortunately, you can't hit the bull's
eye every time. But this is still a great a
CDC album and.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
A great song.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
So there you go, Oh, there you go.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
All right.

Speaker 1 (36:33):
So what track number seven? God Shooting? Alright? Cool? Cool
repetitive guitar riff? Yeah, yeah, that guitar riff that was
used at nausea man, God Shooting Man, Yeah, cool tune.
But many that's just it's just so repetitive. Wang, what

(36:54):
do you think of God Shooting?

Speaker 3 (36:58):
And I mean this sincerity, brother man, but these songs
are just I mean the bonde Scott aspect of the
lyrical content and everything. I understand the riffage and the
simplistic sort of thing, but and I understand that this
is the first time you heard it, but you know,

(37:20):
diving into these songs and the way the man wrote
his lyrics and everything, it's like it makes the simplistic
riffage just ten times. It just so fucking badass, dude.
But I respect yeah, well yeah, I mean, I mean,
tell me, tell me, preach, tell me, tell me. Well, no,

(37:40):
it isn't like I'm gonna get on my soapbox and everything.
But it just yeah, it's it's simplistic sort of. But anyway,
this song in particular, man, obviously at first you would say, oh,
it's about shooting up heroin. Yeah, for me, it is.
And it's also about Bond Scott talking about having a
junkie ass fucking girlfriend, and it's just it's so good.

(38:05):
It's so good. And that's a very simple, simplistic way
of describing this song. But come on, it is what
it is.

Speaker 9 (38:13):
Five out of five chompsysam hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Number eight up to my neck in you Wang, go
ahead and take up to my neck in you. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:24):
Well, I've been up to my neck in trouble, up
to my neck and strife up to my neck and
misery bam, bon Scott so clever, amazing. I'm gonna give it.

Speaker 4 (38:43):
Four to five chompsys bub bub bub bub bub bye.

Speaker 1 (38:48):
Hell yeah man. This is a cool of feat song,
you know song. You know I'm fond talking about getting
into trouble and strife again with women. I mean, yeah, man,
coolest too, man, I dig it. Yeah, I like this one.
Hell yeah, right, all right, all right, Number nine kicked

(39:08):
in the team. Yeah, man, I like this song, man,
I like this song.

Speaker 2 (39:18):
Man.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
It sure it is seen that that Bond had some
trouble and issues with women, man, but uh this is
just a killer rocking tune with just Angus tearing it
up again, man, yeah again again. You know, in all honesty,
I focused more on the music than the lyrics for
this song.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
For this that's understandable. You gotta remember Homeboy, Homeboy, Homeboy.
I've lived with this album since it was.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Hell yeah yeah to live yeah, hell yeah. Man, this
song is awesome man, I mean this, I mean I'd
like to dwell into the lyrics a little more, man
and digest them. Yeah. Oh yeah, fuck yeah brother fuck
oh yeah yeah Wang. What do you think of Kicked

(40:07):
in the Teeth Man, that's a strong, strong closer by
the way, Oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah exactly. And I always, I always get all bits
like when when the songs end, and they're not so great.

Speaker 9 (40:18):
As I've said on almost fifty fucking episodes that were
coming up to.

Speaker 3 (40:24):
I don't know, man, it to me the song being
betrayed or you know, or hurt by someone, particularly someone
who has a two faced or deceptive nature, you know,
just a backstabber jack last bitch. Just yeah. You know,

(40:49):
I'm a jack last bitch and I hear that raining stant.

Speaker 1 (40:53):
It's start to come down.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
I told you it was coming awesome.

Speaker 3 (40:56):
I love him, my brother, but yeah two fish, Jack
last bitch fig five out of.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
Hell. Yeah. Man, I just want to say, man, you know,
this is my first time really listening to this, But
I mean this this, I mean it's just sleazy down,
a dirty, rough and tough rock and roll. I can
just picture them playing any hole in the wall bar,
whether it be a local trailer park bar, a biker bar,

(41:26):
roadside bar in the middle of nowhere with a local
glory hole.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Just just play it away while the crowd rocks out.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Yeah yeah, fights and drinks their worries away.

Speaker 3 (41:39):
Man.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
That that's man.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
It's just fucking just this is just just good barroom
brawling rock and roll. Man.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
Just damn straight, my brother, damn straight.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Ye footba Australia, no doubt many sir, Yeah got it.
They gotta rough down.

Speaker 3 (42:01):
Man, man, got got got gotta got a.

Speaker 1 (42:06):
Hell yeah man, you got anything else to that way?

Speaker 4 (42:10):
No, I don't got ship, brother, I ain't got ship.

Speaker 1 (42:13):
We're gonna have to wrap this up before this thunderstorm
puts us out of business anyway.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Take it up, brother, take it up. You know what
I'm saying, ba ba up.

Speaker 1 (42:23):
All right man. We'll then conclude another episode of the
Second Wag Show.

Speaker 4 (42:28):
We'll see him next time.

Speaker 1 (42:35):
This has been a think army production.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
Bam.
