Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We got one more hour before we hand it over
to George Norian Coast to coast. Been keeping my eye
on some of the national news. Anti ice protesters still
in Minneapolis, third night in a row now demonstrating after
the shooting that happened over the weekend. Not a lot
going on, a lot of people standing around right now.
(00:27):
But as far as what's what is to come overnight
as it's very cold, is a big question mark. But
if anything happens, we will let you know. Back here,
it's also cold, though nowhere near as cold as it
is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We're in the middle of a
wind event and it is blown.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's more winded than usually, like super cold. Like I
feel like I'm like probably go a norpole or something
because the wind is like that cold and it feels
like a through your whole body.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I love this sound. Kim from KTLA, when she got
this out of she had to know. She's like, this
is great, great, great person to put on the dunes.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
The wind and Porter ranch created more work for Carla Flores,
a manager at roll them up to Keto's.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Constantly knocking out of chairs five minutes. We gotta go
back and do it against It's like a work god.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Ut.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
We tell people no, I don't you know sign because
it's windy. They don't listen. So they come back in
not eating their food, but way in their food, and we're.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Like, we told you, yeah, roll them up and blow away.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
At Mediterranean bistro, the owner noticed some damage to his
patio heater. What happened, I don't know. The many in
southern California are experiencing strong wind. There's concern that saturated
soil from the recent storms could create a risk of
gusty winds blowing down trees or power lines. For many,
the wind made for a tiring day.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The leaves have been falling everywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
The trees have been falling everyone. We have to clean
up all in our driveway or pool. Like there's all
leaves everywhere, wake up in them.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
My dad's like, hey, you gotta go clean this up
right now.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
I was like, no, no, I don't not want to
clean it up.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's never been this bad. This already like fell four
times here and the choices every word, I said.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The craziest thing people chasing their dogs to.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I would just listen to her talk all day. So
funny wind will be with us all the way until
the weekend. As you know, the wind advisory in effect
up until Sunday, So you're talking about potentially gouts up
to seventy miles an hour for parts of the San
Gabriel Valley. Now, the good news is, we don't have
(02:37):
any red flag warnings because of course it's been raining
so much. The ground is saturated, all of the brush
not so dry. Compared that to a year ago, where
of course winds were more intense but also had a
lot of dry brush, and then of course we had
to eat and fire and the Palisades fire. Would you
(02:58):
believe that? In addition to calling Jessica's the new Karen
not drinking much, gen Z is also halving a problem
rather approaching women. Like many American men of his generation.
Ryan Kessler, who's twenty eight, is terrified of talking to women,
so he tells the New York Post. But it's not
(03:18):
a lack of smarts or swag that makes this single
manhattanite hesitant to approach women in the wild. It is
the fear of being mistaken as a toxically macho, bone
headed creep if I only knew that that was an
excuse that I could have used when I was younger
for why it didn't work out for me, why I
couldn't muster up the guts to go talk to somebody
(03:41):
in public. Kessler says that trying to win over a
potential love interest. When he is trying to win over
a potential love interest, the last thing he wants to
be is considered a jerk who makes ladies cringe rather
than swoon with a clumsy pickup line and unwelcome advances. Now,
I know that there's no women in the in the
room here with us. It's a bit of a festival,
(04:05):
I know. But do you think it helps his case
or hurts his case by being in this article? Oh? Hurts? Yeah?
I think so too. There's no question. He says that
these days, interactions with women are very few and far between,
but he's still on the hunt for a happily ever
after he's twenty eight. Yeah, he still thinks he's going
(04:27):
to find the one. Considering himself a good guy, but
does not have the courage to approach women and coffee shops, bookstores,
or even subway platforms.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Yeah, somebody tell this guy to quit wasting his time
and just join a monastery already.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It is fair though. I mean, I haven't been single
in a long time, which I'm happy about. But I remember,
especially once the internet dating things started happening and I
was kind of like single in my twenties and I'm
smacked out in the middle of that exploding, it felt
a lot like that was the only way that you
could be sure that you were meeting somebody who was available,
(05:05):
because you thought, well, I don't know if this person
is taken. I don't know if they if they're they
won any of the attention. It just felt like the
whole pressure was off, which I think was was nice
about online dating, But I can also see how now
ten years or whatever plus of that, people don't have
(05:25):
the social skills to go up and introduce themselves. And
I definitely think that that whole pickup artist thing is
super gross. But I'll tell you what, if you're at
a place I don't know, I hesitate to be like,
here's how you do that, here's how you talk to
a stranger. It's always different. But most of the time,
(05:51):
if you're at a ware person, there will be something
that happens in a place, and you can comment on it,
and in that moment you will either have a person
who's wanting to talk to you pick up on that
and then continue the conversation, or they won't. The key
is if they don't, you gotta just move on. Otherwise
(06:15):
I think that's when you become the creep. But I
do feel bad for people who are in that generation
because they can't use the bathroom at work, they're afraid,
they don't know how to talk to each other. They're
going to you know, they spent most of their social
years in the pandemic being isolated. That's tough.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Well, everybody's looking for a shortcut and they don't understand
that nothing worthwhile is easy.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The stark terror is part of the whole ritual bingo. Yeah,
and I feel like that. You watch movies and TV
shows growing up thinking like you need that meet cute,
you need to be able to have that sort of
serendipitous thing where somebody says a witty comment and someone
else responds, but like, life isn't really like that. If
that happens, that's great. Yeah. Boy, the James Bond movies too,
(07:01):
they're bad for that. Yeah, that's true. That's kind of
in that pickup.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Artist realm consent is kind of ignored in some of
the Bond films.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, it's fiction. He also murders people, This is true.
So it is what it is. I guess. Do you
have any recommendations Runner for talking to people in public?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Oh? No, I've always been terrible at that. In fact,
I did a piece when I was a newspaper guy
with a supposed pickup artist and I made him walk
around downtown with me and just pointed him at people,
and I'm like, Okay, go to work on that one.
I just stood there and watched and cringed. It's painful.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, it is painful. I think here's the other thing.
And I've learned this from being a reporter and doing
live shots and stuff like that. I will talk to anybody,
and I can talk to anybody, but I want to
talk to them and have it just be about doing that.
If you approach somebody, no matter what it is, with
an ulterior motive, whether that be try to date them
or try to get them to do something or be
(07:59):
sell whatever, they will pick up on that it will
be weird. I feel like if you approach situations with
people about trying to just have a fun conversation and
say whatever will go from this, will go from this. Great. Also,
the law of averages does work.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
So what you and I might look at and find
just unbearably cheesy that would make our skin crawl, you know,
one person out of one hundred, oh is going to
respond to it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Brother man, I have known musicians. I've known guitar players
for a long time in my life, and I will
Jack Brinvera's here at studio with us now, and I
do you know who I'm referring to? There are people
who I have known, guitar players perhaps who It's just
like a numbers game. You know, you just if you,
if you, if you cast a wide enough net, you
(08:47):
will catch a fish.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Oh yeah, my oldest friend was like that, just an
unbearable cretan. But some women would respond to this and
he would work the numbers. Yeah, broken clock, I saw
this happen.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, well, all right, enough of that coming up by
New Music Friday for people who don't like new music,
and we're soloing the solo.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And we are alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app alongside fouj,
Jack Primavera, Mark Ronner Ritchie. On the ones and twos,
we got callers on the line. It is time to
play solo, the solo. That's where I play a solo.
I have you call in one five two zerre A
one five three four, and you got to tell me
(09:37):
what the artist is, what song it is, and for
a bonus point, who the guitarist is. This is a
pretty fun game that I feel like is kind of
hard to fake your way through.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it's surprising because even though it sounds like a
coffinist nightmare, as if you stepped into a guitar center
on an afternoon, it also is cool because there's songs
that you're like, oh, I know that, but I don't
know where that's from. We'll start out with one for
the boys in the room. Foosh, Runner, Jack, Ritchie. We'll
play this song and if you know the solo, say
(10:14):
your name, but give it a beat. Just take a listen, anybody.
(10:38):
I mean, it's it's so hard. This one's nuts. No no, no, no.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I feel like it's trick like do you know it?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Ronner I might. Do you want to guess is it
van Halen? Who it is? Is it jump?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
It's jump?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, that's great. And you know how you can tell
right here at the end that that I was thinking,
very very good. So that's how you play the game.
Pretty simple. We're gonna play another one. We've got people
online already to see if they can guess what is
the solo on solo the solo? People in the room,
(11:12):
I'm sorry you can't guess anymore, but thank you for
being here. These are like hard, These are two very
(11:34):
hard ones back to back.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
I feel like this is a very hard one.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
This is too hard.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
You think I will be very surprised. And this is
coming from uh huh.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, all right, let's see if Marshall from Recita, our
friend Marshall. Hey, how you doing, buddy, you're on campus.
Speaker 9 (11:50):

our Friday night.

Yes, thank you. It's fun to be here. It's also
fun to hear you. Okay, do you have a guest
here for this song?

No?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Thank you? A shout out to Robert.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, give a shout out to Robert Pointe.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Okay, Hey, Robert, I hope you're feeling better and break
a leg.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
A very funny. Robert Point just had surgery on his hip,
So that's the that's the joke. There you go. Well,
thank you all. We'll tell them.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
That's because of the hipster.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's right, it's Torn Labrahm. He's the most intense hipster
that there ever was. All Right, do you want to
guess Marshall or no? I couldn't figure out. Can you
play one we're talking about? Sure? Here we go. This
(12:36):
is so hard, this is really hard.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm mad at myself for I'll also say that it
is not this person that plays the solo is not
the lead guitar player in this group.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
There you go. Okay, Marshal, any guesses I thought it
was BB King, but it's not.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Okay, I'm not I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's not BB King, it's not. But thank you for
Colin Marshall. We really appreciate you. Call us again sometime soon.
Let's let's go with DJ in Laverne, California. DJ, you're
on KFI. Do you know who played that solo? On solo?
The solo?
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Oh, that's something from the fifties or something.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, we'll play it. One more time here and then
if if nobody gets this one, I'm gonna I might
jump to Ryan, who just called after this It sounds
like SpongeBob square Fit and he guesses, God, I'll tell
(13:39):
you what DJ you hang on the line here. We're
gonna see if Ryan from Fullerton knows what it is.
This one is so hard. I hate to like have people,
you know, hang up because they don't know. Do you
have a do you have a guest, mister Ryan, not
a clue? That's brutal. I know it's too hard, all right, hard,
but it's a fun one. It's a fun well let's
let's should we just give away Jack? Jack knows it.
(14:01):
He guessed it met me.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Do you know it sounds like Les Paul Ooh, so
I will help you out here.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It is not a Less Paul, but it is an epiphone.
And I think it's an epiphone one seventy five. Oh
you buried the lead there with the epiphone. Yeah. And
this man was also known to play I guess Gibson's
and he played some Gretchen.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Definitely, and some Ricker rickenbackerrick En Boker, not the most
famous of the group that played the Rickenbaker.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh yeah, that should that should help. Foush. What language
are they speaking right now? All right? If we have
no guesses?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
It is the one the only John Lennon from the
Beatles on the song honey Pie from the White album
otherwise the Beatles album.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
John is playing rhythm and lead on this.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, George is playing the six string bass, and Paul's
on piano and vocals.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
It's a very crazy, very hard.

One, crazy stuff. Jack Rivera got it. That's you're you're insane.
Here's the next song. We've got people on.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
The line here.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
This is brutal, is that Yoko?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Well but.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
This is almost not even fair this one. Okay, this
is too hard. Nope, we're moving on too hard. You
have to tell what it was that was? Well, maybe
I can. I can probably put it here. Maybe maybe
you'll try again with this part of it now, I'm
(15:36):
not gonna do that. That's the chain by Fleetwood Mac
Too hard, all right, I.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Think I think actually there's certain parts like that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, I know, I just think that was too it's
too crazy. Here is the next one. We've got callers
on the line here. We've gotta have Julia Julia. Playing
for this next one? Julia, do you have any guesses?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The only thing I can think of is, well, the
songs from Back to the Future.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh, it's very close in time. But I'll tell you what.
Stay on the line here. When we come back. We'll
continue to play solo the Solo on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
As we continue our solo the Solo, I've decided to say,
just change gears a little bit, make it a little
bit more palatable, a little less screechy. I don't know
why I thought earlier when I previous to these are like, Oh,
everybody's gonna get these. How wrong I was. Here's the
next one playing from San Antonio, Texas. Is Julia Julia.
(16:53):
That's cool. I was born in San Antonio.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Are you there, Julia?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Are you? Are you calling from San Antonio, Texas? That's
what it says here on the on the call screening. Yes,
that's amazing, that's good. Well, I will never forget the ALBUMO.
Take a listen to our next song here and try
to guess if you can solo the solo. Do you
(17:31):
have a guess, Julia.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I have not heard that song before.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You've never I promise you you've heard it before. Do
you want to hear the solo one more time?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
No, that's okay, you're just gonna give up, all right, Okay,

then did you you get them this one that you
just listened to? Oh and that's rolling, yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
And the and the solos at the start of the song,
which doesn't.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Happen very often, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
And Tears for Fears head over Heels, got it?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yes, that's a that's a clean sweep. That's a clean
sweep on one that I gave up on, which I
feel like I've never seen Jeopardy where like Alex would
have been like, no, we're done with that question. That's
not even a fair one. And then someone came back
and got it right. That is amazing. So well, you
truly are a music head DJ. Thank you so much
for calling are you? Are you a guitarist yourself?
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Drummer? Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Wow? Cool? Cool, cool, that's good though, I mean that's
you know your parts. Yeah, I even know that.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
You'd probably know the backstory of Warren De Martini and
how he helped out George Lynch when he was trying
out for Ozzie's band. Oh you didn't hear about that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I may have missed that one. Well.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
George Lynch was having a fallout with Dawkin Randy Rhodes
has passed away, I believe is, and he went to
Warren De Martini who helped him out with you know,
getting the style of the solos, and George Lynch just
cut his hair short, pretty short.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Did he take a picture with him.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
I man, I think he did. I think that turned
off that he cut his hair, you know, and he
went with a went with a guitarist from I forgot
what band he was from, but I you know, I'd
have to look it up on the internet.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's a crazy story. Yeah wow, Well, thank you so
much for calling, and I appreciate you. We'll see you
out there playing the drum sometime. DJ all right, brother,
there you go. Okay, I'm gonna bring Julia back in
from San Antonio, Texas. Julia, we got two other songs
that you can guess. Are you ready? All right, here we.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Go and he guesses Julia.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Ooh close, right era another l band Yep, I'm blowing up.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I'm really bad.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's okay, No, you're great. This is fun, Ronerd, do
you know I don't got it? Foosh, no idea, Jack knows,
Jimmy Page, led Seppling, that is right, okay, all right,
here's the last one led Zeppelin? What which song? Oh dog?
Oh no, heartbreaker? Oh gosh, uh leave, I got you
(21:19):
don't belong here anymore.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
He said it so confidently.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I know, I know. Well, thank you Ronner for keeping
us honest as well. Going back to Julia, though, here's
your last, your last opportunity. This is not a solo.
This is just solo guitars with a backing track. So
if you can guess this, we'll all win and go
to bed and sleep well, nice, sleep well tonight when
we go to bed and he guesses three, you got one?
Speaker 9 (22:03):
No three?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh that's okay. Hey tell you what you are more
than welcome to call back anytime and keep playing solo
the solo. Does anybody else know in the room potentially
what that is?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Who's that lady?
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's close. Would have been the same era, maybe a
little bit older. This is from the original eight track recording,
two guitars. This is crazy because it's one of those
things like you can't believe that this is going on
in the background of this song, but once you hear it,
you're like, oh yeah, totally. Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell, ain't
(22:45):
you no mountain high enough? There you go, There you go,
very good. Thank you so much for calling DJ Julia, everybody, Jack,
thank you for being here as always for the new
music Friday for people who don't like music and playing
solo the solo. Mister Mark Ronnert, it is so wonderful
(23:05):
to be reunited. Always a pleasure. What do you say
we do this next Monday? Let's give it a shot.
Let's try it. Foosh are you in? I will be here. Ritchie,
are you on the skuy I have no idea. If
I am, I'm down, okay good. If you're not, I
also need you to be down or down as you
just said. It's KFI AM six forty. I'm Andy Riismyer.
(23:26):
Thanks for being with us. We are live everywhere as
always without fail, twenty four to seven, seven days a
week on the iHeartRadio
Speaker 1 (23:33):
App, KFI AM six forty on demand
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
We got one more hour before we hand it over
to George Norian Coast to coast. Been keeping my eye
on some of the national news. Anti ice protesters still
in Minneapolis, third night in a row now demonstrating after
the shooting that happened over the weekend. Not a lot
going on, a lot of people standing around right now.
(00:27):
But as far as what's what is to come overnight
as it's very cold, is a big question mark. But
if anything happens, we will let you know. Back here,
it's also cold, though nowhere near as cold as it
is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. We're in the middle of a
wind event and it is blown.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
It's more winded than usually, like super cold. Like I
feel like I'm like probably go a norpole or something
because the wind is like that cold and it feels
like a through your whole body.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I love this sound. Kim from KTLA, when she got
this out of she had to know. She's like, this
is great, great, great person to put on the dunes.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
The wind and Porter ranch created more work for Carla Flores,
a manager at roll them up to Keto's.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Constantly knocking out of chairs five minutes. We gotta go
back and do it against It's like a work god.
Speaker 5 (01:20):
Ut.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
We tell people no, I don't you know sign because
it's windy. They don't listen. So they come back in
not eating their food, but way in their food, and we're.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Like, we told you, yeah, roll them up and blow away.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
At Mediterranean bistro, the owner noticed some damage to his
patio heater. What happened, I don't know. The many in
southern California are experiencing strong wind. There's concern that saturated
soil from the recent storms could create a risk of
gusty winds blowing down trees or power lines. For many,
the wind made for a tiring day.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
The leaves have been falling everywhere.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
The trees have been falling everyone. We have to clean
up all in our driveway or pool. Like there's all
leaves everywhere, wake up in them.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
My dad's like, hey, you gotta go clean this up
right now.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
I was like, no, no, I don't not want to
clean it up.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
It's never been this bad. This already like fell four
times here and the choices every word, I said.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The craziest thing people chasing their dogs to.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I would just listen to her talk all day. So
funny wind will be with us all the way until
the weekend. As you know, the wind advisory in effect
up until Sunday, So you're talking about potentially gouts up
to seventy miles an hour for parts of the San
Gabriel Valley. Now, the good news is, we don't have
(02:37):
any red flag warnings because of course it's been raining
so much. The ground is saturated, all of the brush
not so dry. Compared that to a year ago, where
of course winds were more intense but also had a
lot of dry brush, and then of course we had
to eat and fire and the Palisades fire. Would you
(02:58):
believe that? In addition to calling Jessica's the new Karen
not drinking much, gen Z is also halving a problem
rather approaching women. Like many American men of his generation.
Ryan Kessler, who's twenty eight, is terrified of talking to women,
so he tells the New York Post. But it's not
(03:18):
a lack of smarts or swag that makes this single
manhattanite hesitant to approach women in the wild. It is
the fear of being mistaken as a toxically macho, bone
headed creep if I only knew that that was an
excuse that I could have used when I was younger
for why it didn't work out for me, why I
couldn't muster up the guts to go talk to somebody
(03:41):
in public. Kessler says that trying to win over a
potential love interest. When he is trying to win over
a potential love interest, the last thing he wants to
be is considered a jerk who makes ladies cringe rather
than swoon with a clumsy pickup line and unwelcome advances. Now,
I know that there's no women in the in the
room here with us. It's a bit of a festival,
(04:05):
I know. But do you think it helps his case
or hurts his case by being in this article? Oh? Hurts? Yeah?
I think so too. There's no question. He says that
these days, interactions with women are very few and far between,
but he's still on the hunt for a happily ever
after he's twenty eight. Yeah, he still thinks he's going
(04:27):
to find the one. Considering himself a good guy, but
does not have the courage to approach women and coffee shops, bookstores,
or even subway platforms.
Speaker 7 (04:36):
Yeah, somebody tell this guy to quit wasting his time
and just join a monastery already.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It is fair though. I mean, I haven't been single
in a long time, which I'm happy about. But I remember,
especially once the internet dating things started happening and I
was kind of like single in my twenties and I'm
smacked out in the middle of that exploding, it felt
a lot like that was the only way that you
could be sure that you were meeting somebody who was available,
(05:05):
because you thought, well, I don't know if this person
is taken. I don't know if they if they're they
won any of the attention. It just felt like the
whole pressure was off, which I think was was nice
about online dating, But I can also see how now
ten years or whatever plus of that, people don't have
(05:25):
the social skills to go up and introduce themselves. And
I definitely think that that whole pickup artist thing is
super gross. But I'll tell you what, if you're at
a place I don't know, I hesitate to be like,
here's how you do that, here's how you talk to
a stranger. It's always different. But most of the time,
(05:51):
if you're at a ware person, there will be something
that happens in a place, and you can comment on it,
and in that moment you will either have a person
who's wanting to talk to you pick up on that
and then continue the conversation, or they won't. The key
is if they don't, you gotta just move on. Otherwise
(06:15):
I think that's when you become the creep. But I
do feel bad for people who are in that generation
because they can't use the bathroom at work, they're afraid,
they don't know how to talk to each other. They're
going to you know, they spent most of their social
years in the pandemic being isolated. That's tough.
Speaker 7 (06:33):
Well, everybody's looking for a shortcut and they don't understand
that nothing worthwhile is easy.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
The stark terror is part of the whole ritual bingo. Yeah,
and I feel like that. You watch movies and TV
shows growing up thinking like you need that meet cute,
you need to be able to have that sort of
serendipitous thing where somebody says a witty comment and someone
else responds, but like, life isn't really like that. If
that happens, that's great. Yeah. Boy, the James Bond movies too,
(07:01):
they're bad for that. Yeah, that's true. That's kind of
in that pickup.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Artist realm consent is kind of ignored in some of
the Bond films.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Yeah, it's fiction. He also murders people, This is true.
So it is what it is. I guess. Do you
have any recommendations Runner for talking to people in public?
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Oh? No, I've always been terrible at that. In fact,
I did a piece when I was a newspaper guy
with a supposed pickup artist and I made him walk
around downtown with me and just pointed him at people,
and I'm like, Okay, go to work on that one.
I just stood there and watched and cringed. It's painful.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Yeah, it is painful. I think here's the other thing.
And I've learned this from being a reporter and doing
live shots and stuff like that. I will talk to anybody,
and I can talk to anybody, but I want to
talk to them and have it just be about doing that.
If you approach somebody, no matter what it is, with
an ulterior motive, whether that be try to date them
or try to get them to do something or be
(07:59):
sell whatever, they will pick up on that it will
be weird. I feel like if you approach situations with
people about trying to just have a fun conversation and
say whatever will go from this, will go from this. Great. Also,
the law of averages does work.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
So what you and I might look at and find
just unbearably cheesy that would make our skin crawl, you know,
one person out of one hundred, oh is going to
respond to it.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Brother man, I have known musicians. I've known guitar players
for a long time in my life, and I will
Jack Brinvera's here at studio with us now, and I
do you know who I'm referring to? There are people
who I have known, guitar players perhaps who It's just
like a numbers game. You know, you just if you,
if you, if you cast a wide enough net, you
(08:47):
will catch a fish.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
Oh yeah, my oldest friend was like that, just an
unbearable cretan. But some women would respond to this and
he would work the numbers. Yeah, broken clock, I saw
this happen.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Yeah, well, all right, enough of that coming up by
New Music Friday for people who don't like new music,
and we're soloing the solo.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
And we are alive everywhere on the iHeartRadio app alongside fouj,
Jack Primavera, Mark Ronner Ritchie. On the ones and twos,
we got callers on the line. It is time to
play solo, the solo. That's where I play a solo.
I have you call in one five two zerre A
one five three four, and you got to tell me
(09:37):
what the artist is, what song it is, and for
a bonus point, who the guitarist is. This is a
pretty fun game that I feel like is kind of
hard to fake your way through.
Speaker 8 (09:49):
Oh yeah, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
And it's surprising because even though it sounds like a
coffinist nightmare, as if you stepped into a guitar center
on an afternoon, it also is cool because there's songs
that you're like, oh, I know that, but I don't
know where that's from. We'll start out with one for
the boys in the room. Foosh, Runner, Jack, Ritchie. We'll
play this song and if you know the solo, say
(10:14):
your name, but give it a beat. Just take a listen, anybody.
(10:38):
I mean, it's it's so hard. This one's nuts. No no, no, no.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
I feel like it's trick like do you know it?
Speaker 2 (10:44):
Ronner I might. Do you want to guess is it
van Halen? Who it is? Is it jump?
Speaker 6 (10:51):
It's jump?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Okay, that's great. And you know how you can tell
right here at the end that that I was thinking,
very very good. So that's how you play the game.
Pretty simple. We're gonna play another one. We've got people
online already to see if they can guess what is
the solo on solo the solo? People in the room,
(11:12):
I'm sorry you can't guess anymore, but thank you for
being here. These are like hard, These are two very
(11:34):
hard ones back to back.
Speaker 8 (11:35):
I feel like this is a very hard one.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
This is too hard.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
You think I will be very surprised. And this is
coming from uh huh.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, all right, let's see if Marshall from Recita, our
friend Marshall. Hey, how you doing, buddy, you're on campus.
Speaker 9 (11:50):
It's fun to hear you got this other radio again
our Friday night.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yes, thank you. It's fun to be here. It's also
fun to hear you. Okay, do you have a guest
here for this song?
Speaker 7 (11:57):
No?
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Thank you? A shout out to Robert.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, give a shout out to Robert Pointe.
Speaker 9 (12:02):
Okay, Hey, Robert, I hope you're feeling better and break
a leg.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
A very funny. Robert Point just had surgery on his hip,
So that's the that's the joke. There you go. Well,
thank you all. We'll tell them.
Speaker 9 (12:13):
That's because of the hipster.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
That's right, it's Torn Labrahm. He's the most intense hipster
that there ever was. All Right, do you want to
guess Marshall or no? I couldn't figure out. Can you
play one we're talking about? Sure? Here we go. This
(12:36):
is so hard, this is really hard.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm mad at myself for I'll also say that it
is not this person that plays the solo is not
the lead guitar player in this group.
Speaker 2 (12:47):
There you go. Okay, Marshal, any guesses I thought it
was BB King, but it's not.
Speaker 9 (12:52):
Okay, I'm not I'm wrong.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
It's not BB King, it's not. But thank you for
Colin Marshall. We really appreciate you. Call us again sometime soon.
Let's let's go with DJ in Laverne, California. DJ, you're
on KFI. Do you know who played that solo? On solo?
The solo?
Speaker 9 (13:09):
Oh, that's something from the fifties or something.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
Okay, we'll play it. One more time here and then
if if nobody gets this one, I'm gonna I might
jump to Ryan, who just called after this It sounds
like SpongeBob square Fit and he guesses, God, I'll tell
(13:39):
you what DJ you hang on the line here. We're
gonna see if Ryan from Fullerton knows what it is.
This one is so hard. I hate to like have people,
you know, hang up because they don't know. Do you
have a do you have a guest, mister Ryan, not
a clue? That's brutal. I know it's too hard, all right, hard,
but it's a fun one. It's a fun well let's
let's should we just give away Jack? Jack knows it.
(14:01):
He guessed it met me.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Do you know it sounds like Les Paul Ooh, so
I will help you out here.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
It is not a Less Paul, but it is an epiphone.
And I think it's an epiphone one seventy five. Oh
you buried the lead there with the epiphone. Yeah. And
this man was also known to play I guess Gibson's
and he played some Gretchen.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
Definitely, and some Ricker rickenbackerrick En Boker, not the most
famous of the group that played the Rickenbaker.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
Oh yeah, that should that should help. Foush. What language
are they speaking right now? All right? If we have
no guesses?
Speaker 5 (14:38):
It is the one the only John Lennon from the
Beatles on the song honey Pie from the White album
otherwise the Beatles album.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Oh wow.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
John is playing rhythm and lead on this.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
Yeah, George is playing the six string bass, and Paul's
on piano and vocals.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
It's a very crazy, very hard.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
One, crazy stuff. Jack Rivera got it. That's you're you're insane.
Here's the next song. We've got people on.
Speaker 8 (15:02):
The line here.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
This is brutal, is that Yoko?
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Well but.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
This is almost not even fair this one. Okay, this
is too hard. Nope, we're moving on too hard. You
have to tell what it was that was? Well, maybe
I can. I can probably put it here. Maybe maybe
you'll try again with this part of it now, I'm
(15:36):
not gonna do that. That's the chain by Fleetwood Mac
Too hard, all right, I.
Speaker 8 (15:41):
Think I think actually there's certain parts like that.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Yeah, I know, I just think that was too it's
too crazy. Here is the next one. We've got callers
on the line here. We've gotta have Julia Julia. Playing
for this next one? Julia, do you have any guesses?
Speaker 1 (16:13):
The only thing I can think of is, well, the
songs from Back to the Future.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh, it's very close in time. But I'll tell you what.
Stay on the line here. When we come back. We'll
continue to play solo the Solo on KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
As we continue our solo the Solo, I've decided to say,
just change gears a little bit, make it a little
bit more palatable, a little less screechy. I don't know
why I thought earlier when I previous to these are like, Oh,
everybody's gonna get these. How wrong I was. Here's the
next one playing from San Antonio, Texas. Is Julia Julia.
(16:53):
That's cool. I was born in San Antonio.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Are you there, Julia?
Speaker 7 (17:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Are you? Are you calling from San Antonio, Texas? That's
what it says here on the on the call screening. Yes,
that's amazing, that's good. Well, I will never forget the ALBUMO.
Take a listen to our next song here and try
to guess if you can solo the solo. Do you
(17:31):
have a guess, Julia.
Speaker 5 (17:33):
I have not heard that song before.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
You've never I promise you you've heard it before. Do
you want to hear the solo one more time?
Speaker 5 (17:41):
No, that's okay, you're just gonna give up, all right, Okay,

That's awesome. Okay, well you definitely won that one. And
then did you you get them this one that you
just listened to? Oh and that's rolling, yes, sir.
Speaker 9 (18:26):
And the and the solos at the start of the song,
which doesn't.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Happen very often, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 9 (18:31):
And Tears for Fears head over Heels, got it?
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Yes, that's a that's a clean sweep. That's a clean
sweep on one that I gave up on, which I
feel like I've never seen Jeopardy where like Alex would
have been like, no, we're done with that question. That's
not even a fair one. And then someone came back
and got it right. That is amazing. So well, you
truly are a music head DJ. Thank you so much
for calling are you? Are you a guitarist yourself?
Speaker 9 (18:58):
Drummer? Actually?
Speaker 2 (18:59):
Wow? Cool? Cool, cool, that's good though, I mean that's
you know your parts. Yeah, I even know that.
Speaker 9 (19:06):
You'd probably know the backstory of Warren De Martini and
how he helped out George Lynch when he was trying
out for Ozzie's band. Oh you didn't hear about that.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
I may have missed that one. Well.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
George Lynch was having a fallout with Dawkin Randy Rhodes
has passed away, I believe is, and he went to
Warren De Martini who helped him out with you know,
getting the style of the solos, and George Lynch just
cut his hair short, pretty short.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
Did he take a picture with him.
Speaker 9 (19:45):
I man, I think he did. I think that turned
off that he cut his hair, you know, and he
went with a went with a guitarist from I forgot
what band he was from, but I you know, I'd
have to look it up on the internet.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's a crazy story. Yeah wow, Well, thank you so
much for calling, and I appreciate you. We'll see you
out there playing the drum sometime. DJ all right, brother,
there you go. Okay, I'm gonna bring Julia back in
from San Antonio, Texas. Julia, we got two other songs
that you can guess. Are you ready? All right, here we.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
Go and he guesses Julia.
Speaker 8 (20:44):
Ooh close, right era another l band Yep, I'm blowing up.
Speaker 6 (20:55):
I'm really bad.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
That's okay, No, you're great. This is fun, Ronerd, do
you know I don't got it? Foosh, no idea, Jack knows,
Jimmy Page, led Seppling, that is right, okay, all right,
here's the last one led Zeppelin? What which song? Oh dog?
Oh no, heartbreaker? Oh gosh, uh leave, I got you
(21:19):
don't belong here anymore.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
He said it so confidently.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I know, I know. Well, thank you Ronner for keeping
us honest as well. Going back to Julia, though, here's
your last, your last opportunity. This is not a solo.
This is just solo guitars with a backing track. So
if you can guess this, we'll all win and go
to bed and sleep well, nice, sleep well tonight when
we go to bed and he guesses three, you got one?
Speaker 9 (22:03):
No three?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Oh that's okay. Hey tell you what you are more
than welcome to call back anytime and keep playing solo
the solo. Does anybody else know in the room potentially
what that is?
Speaker 9 (22:13):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Who's that lady?
Speaker 7 (22:14):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:15):
It's close. Would have been the same era, maybe a
little bit older. This is from the original eight track recording,
two guitars. This is crazy because it's one of those
things like you can't believe that this is going on
in the background of this song, but once you hear it,
you're like, oh yeah, totally. Marvin Gaye, Tammy Terrell, ain't
(22:45):
you no mountain high enough? There you go, There you go,
very good. Thank you so much for calling DJ Julia, everybody, Jack,
