Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the after show decompression session, doing what they do best,
glabbing their gums. Okay, I don't know about y'all. It's
been a brutal week. Just a brutal week, it really.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Do you think it's because of the heat or just
because of our schedule?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
A little both. Probably more of the schedule. I can
take the heat. I'll manage it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Had a lot of bad things going on this week.
You know, a friend of mine now her mom lived
to be almost one hundred and three years old. But
my best friend from San Antonio lost her mom, and
then my best friend here in Dallas, her son has
been in and out of the hospital, so he's just
been super tough.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Damn well. And then we lose Greg Ken and Jack
Jack Russell and Russell.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We found a crush on Greg Can after I met him.
Oh yeah, you know, the young Greg Can kind of
looked a little like Steve Perry.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, it kind of had that Rick Springfield look about him,
with the guitar and the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Law hair, which is funny because he used to open
for Rick Springfield all the time back in the eighties.
And then I was telling bo his last tour was
twenty twenty two and he opened for Rick Springfield.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh nice, Okay, so yeah, they were kind of a
little influence on each other. I thought what you did
for the memory of Greg Ken today was an absolute
highlight of the show. We had this funny segment where
he called in and Bow and Jim lost a bet
and then we went right into the breakup song and
them and that was just cool as hell.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Bo, nice job.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's the only time I've had any conversations with Greg Kin,
but it was well other than setting it up and
doing the betting on the air, but that was the payoff.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The last time he played it was on his birthday. Well, yeah,
his birthday. Yeah, that was still a lot. I did
not know he had Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That was heartbreaking.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That must have been really hard on a guy with
a brain that size. You know, he's got a lot
of creativity going on up There so.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Many people, more and more people being ignosed with Alzheimer's. Question.
I think I lost my mom to Alzheimer's an aunt,
So it's just hitting so many more families and young
people too.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Bo, Yes, yeah, extra son.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I thought you also took it really easy on the
King today.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Bo oh well, yeah, well Beulah got upset and she
came in here to let me know it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well that's a given.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But yeah, well we'll go ahead and put brother E
up here on the camera one more time for everybody
streaming the after show and just take our hats off
to the man. I hope everybody who hasn't visited Graceland
gets a chance to do so.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know what, the very first time, the first time
I went to Graceland was with a dear friend and
we were kind of like laughing about there's peanut butter
give and people in line are upset. You don't you
(03:02):
show respect? It was like we got told.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you know the part of the tour where you
go to the grave and there's the grave right there.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I was going, oh, man, I'm dead. Some ladies heard
me say that, and they were none too pleased. You
show some respect to Elvis, and.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, they'll slap your hand. Man, It's like, do not.
We were having a great time, all honor to Elvis,
but yeah, we were laughing.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It's not like it's too soon. Oh I know, seventy seven, man.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know, I think that if the King could have
anything to say about this, he would go, man, laugh
it up.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So went out like that, And I think it's kind
of funny. Saw you die on the toilet. I'd make
fun of you.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Too, exactly. He'd bust our balls if we went out
that way.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The King pinched his last loaf on the sh I
love watching those old Elvis movies, the young Elvis, not
the you know, but the Vegas and Hawaii Elvis.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You start thinking, how damn silly they are.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But he's so cute. Okay, when Anne Margaret was in him,
Mary Tyler.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Moore, Okay, Elvis banged every one of his female co.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Stars except one, Mary Tyler Moore. Mary Tyler Moore, you
got too much respect for her.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, she wouldn't give up the bloomer pudding. He hit
on her, but she wouldn't give it up.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And he was a married man at the time. Yeah,
holy shit, I didn't know that he was married to
Priscilla from pretty early on, I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, you know, think about it. If he and Priscilla
had been around in this day and age, it would
have been all over the news. Because she was a
little teenager ought her to grace Land, she went or something.
She went to a Catholic school there in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I won't take you home and wait till you grow up,
trid and fuck you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I remember one.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That's exactly what basically what it was.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I remember one of the documentaries where they said Elvis
just hated those movies though he thought they were all
pretty bad and it kind of brought him down.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Colonel Tom Parker made him do all those movies.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yeah, he'll be a star.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Son twisted his Austin Butler did such a great job.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And Tom Hanks too.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, Tom Hanks had a funky accent. But I thought
he was good, but the accent was kind of off putting.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh huh, Well, I didn't see the movie. But as
you know, Colonel Tom Parker was not an American citizen.
He was from the Netherlands, I think, and that's why
Elvis never went on tour because Colonel Tom Parker didn't
have a passport and didn't want to get one.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Law he could have been was a con artist, he
really was.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
He was a shady guy.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He came from the circus.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, that should have been a clue right there, people, But.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He did recognize Elvis's talent. He's the one and then
he you know, monetized it.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And he said, I can make some money off this boy.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And he did, and he probably stile from him.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, damn right, he did.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You guys remember a radio host that used to work
around here named Danny Bayliss, Yes, yes, I did. Danny
who's also a great musician. His father his father's martial
arts instructor, Elvis's national artstruct.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The one that ran off with Priscilla.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I think it was a different one. But when Danny Bayliss.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Was a kid, he got to shake Elvis's hand at
the Karate studio.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh how cool is that?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
They said, Elvis, come on over here and meet my son.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, deny to meet you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Dan Rather has one of the best Elvis stories. So
Dan Rather was like bragging. He was with his wife
at some big event and he was bragging about how
he had met Elvis and he got to interview Elvis
and blah blah blah, and his wife was just standing
there and all of a sudden, she goes, well, I
can do one better. She goes, I went to a
high school dance with Elvis. She I grew up here
(06:55):
in Texas, in Central Texas and Elvis was playing. It
was before he was famous. And she's like, would you
go to the high school dance with me? And he
went to the high school dance with her.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Wow, oh are you show tonight? Take off your skin
is tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So dan Rather's wife probably do with Elvis. What are
you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't know. I don't want to speculate.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Elvis. Keep that Pelvis far from me.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I gonna need you to get on top. I'm kind
of kind of worn out.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You see who's on the phone. Maybe it's Elvis, Elvis Central? Hello?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oh they did?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh hello boy them show well this Diane, Hey Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
What you know?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Well, I'm heavy white. Pick up my jersey, I one,
what do you want a hat?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, well the Donas Garcia one here?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh look at you girl.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Anyway, y'all talking about Elvis' birthday today. And I was
working big state record distributing at the back in the
day when he passed. Well, the promotions lady, you know
how everybody had a girl in every city they've been at. Anyway,
she dated Elvis, but when he passed, they called her
some Sun records to let her know before she heard
(08:18):
it on the news. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I wonder how many calls they had to make. Diane.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, oh, I know I've told this story before. My
great aunt Ruth, the weird woman that had all the dolls.
She used to own a record shop. Of course, again
I called the record shop, and Elvis would stop in
every once in a while. I just want to make
sure you got my latest single, Miss Ruth going from
Dallas to Houston or otherwise he'd stopped there because she
(08:48):
had a pretty sick Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, wow, that's super cool.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
When you visit Graceland, his tombstone doesn't have his name
spelled right, so I think he's alive.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I see, And that's the thing, Aaron is misspelled. Yeah,
so it's spelled Aron Aron.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Do you guys think that maybe I'm in trouble with
some sort of an Elvis curse, because the first time
I stopped at his gravesite, I squatted down, I dropped
my left hand and I pinched up just a little
bit of that soil from his from his grave, and
I kept it as a souvenir.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You think is that bad?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I'm all haunt you, baby, Elvis is going to be
in your bedroom and they didn't catch you.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's just dirt.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No, I was super sneaky and I really wanted it. Yeah,
I still got it in some little jewel case or
something somewhere put away.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Elvis is dirt.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah, his house reminded of some sort.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But well, now, no, she's talking about Grace.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Graceland is not a very big house or a pretty house.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Also, one time when I visited Graceland, they take into
the jungle room. There's a jungle room, and I'm just
kind of looking around and the guide is explaining shit,
and I look down and there's a toenail in the rug.
It must be the king's toenail. Y'all could clone him
if you just get it. It was a toenail. I
(10:16):
could tell it was a clip toenail. Colonel hand me
to clippers.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, for whatever reason, he didn't want to trim his
nails while sitting on the john.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I guess not. Well, that's when you should trim your nails.
You wipe and scratch that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Nasty, nasty. Now, I do love a good peanut butter
fried like he had liked it.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I took all his recipes. But did y'all go in
the room where you had to put on the white
gloves to touch anything and do it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh no, that they just told us not to touch anything.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
How about the room with all the TVs so he
could watch all of his spoils downstairs?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Basement right, super claustrophobic. It's a narrow stairway you go down,
and then that party room downstairs.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's kind of small. You kind of you feel boxed
in down there.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
His kitchen remind me of my grandmother's kid.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I love the kitchen. I think that was my favorite part.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I remember we couldn't go upstairs because there was someone
living there stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Delta lived upstairs, so you couldn't go upstairs.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, Elvis, rest in peace, and thank you for the
memories and the music.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, brother put them on camera here one more time.
Thank you, Diane. That was a nice contribution.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Well, y'all have a great weekend, and I'll be seeing you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
He seen you on social media. You're going to go
to some more fabulous restaurants this weekend, Diane.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, probably most likely.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I want to.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Start hanging out with Diane because she goes to some
great restaurants.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Bring us a doggy bag sometimes.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Love you, Diane, Love you.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Okay, the work thing.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Her phone was cutting up just a little bit. But
that was very useful and interesting stuff from Diane.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The friend that I stayed with in Memphis. He was
an independent record promoter, so you know their reputation. Oh yeah,
Howie Goodman and I absolutely loved Howie and he lived
in Memphis. But he had been big baseball star when
he was in high school in college and the New
York Yankees were trying to draft him, but then he
(12:13):
messed up his arm. But Elvis met him and liked
him so much that he wanted him to be part
of the Memphis Mafia. Oh really, yes, and how he said, no, no,
I'm not into that. But then he got into the
record business.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Uh huh, now would you?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
How would you turn down being a part of Elvis's
Memphis Mafia.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They remained good friends until Elvis died, you know, but yeah,
he didn't want to be part of that group.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's kind of a loner kind of guy. Very fun.
On a restaurant in Memphis, how he did it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
State have you ever had Memphis barbecue?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, it's like a dry rub thing, It's not wet barbecue.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it's good, but it's really hot. They have hot barbecue,
and I got barbecue spaghetti one time, and oh it
was greatness because I like it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't like that Ohio spaghetti where they.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Put Cincinnati chilli spaghetti and stuff. All right, to go
back to the Memphis Mafia real quick. Bo, Did you
and Jim never get a chance to talk to people
like Sonny?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Or we talked to both of them.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Sonny was at the state Fair one year and we
went and hung out with him a little while. No kidd, Yeah, okay.
Elvis stories, there's.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So many Elvis stories.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
May he rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
When you were talking earlier about where we were when
we found out that he died, where were you both?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I was at my radio station in New Orleans. And
the lady at the front desk, God, I can't remember
her name, she comes crying. I thought, God, what happened?
Did she lose a family member? Elvis just died.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
And this was right after the Leonard Skinner crash. Oh
well yeah, yeah, the Leonard Skinner crash was after Elvis's death.
Because the Skinner crash was October twentieth, that was my birthday.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Impactful though very close on the timeline, and for rock
and roll people, that sucks when stuff like that happens.
You know, Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell both unlive themselves
right around the same time, and it was like, wow,
double whammy.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh and Tom Petty and Eddie Van Halen when they.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Died, Yeah, it hurt.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So I remember that Tom Petty was around the time
at the Las Vegas shooting of that music festival, A
real yeah, And it was just you were already depressed
because the shooting in Vegas, and then when you found
out that Tom Petty had died, it was just that
whole month sucked for.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, A blind side, yeah, for sure. Super cool show today.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
We had a lot of dark news that we are
responsible for getting out to you about passings and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But yeah, but had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
We paid tribute to each and we want Yeah we did.
We kind of poked at Elvis a little bit, but
we've been doing that for years.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That was fun though, and I think Elvis would have approved,
I really do.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I still feel so bad that everybody knows that he
died on the jawn. That to me is just, oh God,
give him some dignity.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If he walk in here, he'd laugh about it too.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I guarantee I can die in mid hunker.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Okay, not want to. If I go that way, you
have to promise me that you will cover it up.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
You will not.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You will make sure that nobody knows that that's how
I died.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Hell no, I'm gonna take pictures of the toilet and
watch him.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Wants us to drag her dead body into another room
so that she doesn't yes.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The same reason why when I fell out of the attic,
I drug myself through glass to get to to ask
somebody to help me come by, so that the ambulance
people wouldn't see me in my skimpy pajama.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You didn't want to be found that way, No way,
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They should have moved Elvis's body.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, listen, if any of y'all get a wild hair,
I'm gonna get my fat ass up a little early tomorrow,
and I'm gonna get to one of the Alien movie.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh yeah, I kind of I want to see that too.
I've seen all the Alien movie.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, I've been reading the reviews and they're mixed.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Uh, it seems to be leaning more in a horror
movie direction than say, you know, the hr Giger art
and Wrigley Scott's vibe and all that. It seems to
be more about blowing up and shooting people in the
face and getting eaten up and well all that. It's
an action alien movie.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You really should see Deadpool and Wolverine first.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, I need to do that, and see.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
It in three D if you can see it in
three D.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Okay, all right, just a little for you. That's about
all I got on the schedule this weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Because you're in the air conditioning. Be way too hot, people,
take care, take precautions.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, please do be careful, have a good and safe weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
We'll see you back on Monday.
It's the after show decompression session, doing what they do best,
glabbing their gums. Okay, I don't know about y'all. It's
been a brutal week. Just a brutal week, it really.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Do you think it's because of the heat or just
because of our schedule?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
A little both. Probably more of the schedule. I can
take the heat. I'll manage it.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Had a lot of bad things going on this week.
You know, a friend of mine now her mom lived
to be almost one hundred and three years old. But
my best friend from San Antonio lost her mom, and
then my best friend here in Dallas, her son has
been in and out of the hospital, so he's just
been super tough.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Damn well. And then we lose Greg Ken and Jack
Jack Russell and Russell.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We found a crush on Greg Can after I met him.
Oh yeah, you know, the young Greg Can kind of
looked a little like Steve Perry.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, it kind of had that Rick Springfield look about him,
with the guitar and the.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Law hair, which is funny because he used to open
for Rick Springfield all the time back in the eighties.
And then I was telling bo his last tour was
twenty twenty two and he opened for Rick Springfield.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Oh nice, Okay, so yeah, they were kind of a
little influence on each other. I thought what you did
for the memory of Greg Ken today was an absolute
highlight of the show. We had this funny segment where
he called in and Bow and Jim lost a bet
and then we went right into the breakup song and
them and that was just cool as hell.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Bo, nice job.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
That's the only time I've had any conversations with Greg Kin,
but it was well other than setting it up and
doing the betting on the air, but that was the payoff.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The last time he played it was on his birthday. Well, yeah,
his birthday. Yeah, that was still a lot. I did
not know he had Alzheimer's.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
I didn't either.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
That was heartbreaking.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
That must have been really hard on a guy with
a brain that size. You know, he's got a lot
of creativity going on up There so.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Many people, more and more people being ignosed with Alzheimer's. Question.
I think I lost my mom to Alzheimer's an aunt,
So it's just hitting so many more families and young
people too.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Bo, Yes, yeah, extra son.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
I thought you also took it really easy on the
King today.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Bo oh well, yeah, well Beulah got upset and she
came in here to let me know it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well that's a given.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But yeah, well we'll go ahead and put brother E
up here on the camera one more time for everybody
streaming the after show and just take our hats off
to the man. I hope everybody who hasn't visited Graceland
gets a chance to do so.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
You know what, the very first time, the first time
I went to Graceland was with a dear friend and
we were kind of like laughing about there's peanut butter
give and people in line are upset. You don't you
(03:02):
show respect? It was like we got told.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
So you know the part of the tour where you
go to the grave and there's the grave right there.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I was going, oh, man, I'm dead. Some ladies heard
me say that, and they were none too pleased. You
show some respect to Elvis, and.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, they'll slap your hand. Man, It's like, do not.
We were having a great time, all honor to Elvis,
but yeah, we were laughing.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
It's not like it's too soon. Oh I know, seventy seven, man.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
You know, I think that if the King could have
anything to say about this, he would go, man, laugh
it up.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
So went out like that, And I think it's kind
of funny. Saw you die on the toilet. I'd make
fun of you.
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Too, exactly. He'd bust our balls if we went out
that way.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
The King pinched his last loaf on the sh I
love watching those old Elvis movies, the young Elvis, not
the you know, but the Vegas and Hawaii Elvis.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
You start thinking, how damn silly they are.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
But he's so cute. Okay, when Anne Margaret was in him,
Mary Tyler.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Moore, Okay, Elvis banged every one of his female co.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Stars except one, Mary Tyler Moore. Mary Tyler Moore, you
got too much respect for her.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
No, she wouldn't give up the bloomer pudding. He hit
on her, but she wouldn't give it up.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
And he was a married man at the time. Yeah,
holy shit, I didn't know that he was married to
Priscilla from pretty early on, I believe.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, you know, think about it. If he and Priscilla
had been around in this day and age, it would
have been all over the news. Because she was a
little teenager ought her to grace Land, she went or something.
She went to a Catholic school there in Memphis.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I won't take you home and wait till you grow up,
trid and fuck you.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
I remember one.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
That's exactly what basically what it was.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
I remember one of the documentaries where they said Elvis
just hated those movies though he thought they were all
pretty bad and it kind of brought him down.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Colonel Tom Parker made him do all those movies.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Yeah, he'll be a star.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Son twisted his Austin Butler did such a great job.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
And Tom Hanks too.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Huh.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, Tom Hanks had a funky accent. But I thought
he was good, but the accent was kind of off putting.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Uh huh, Well, I didn't see the movie. But as
you know, Colonel Tom Parker was not an American citizen.
He was from the Netherlands, I think, and that's why
Elvis never went on tour because Colonel Tom Parker didn't
have a passport and didn't want to get one.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Law he could have been was a con artist, he
really was.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
He was a shady guy.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
He came from the circus.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
Yeah, that should have been a clue right there, people, But.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He did recognize Elvis's talent. He's the one and then
he you know, monetized it.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And he said, I can make some money off this boy.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
And he did, and he probably stile from him.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, damn right, he did.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
You guys remember a radio host that used to work
around here named Danny Bayliss, Yes, yes, I did. Danny
who's also a great musician. His father his father's martial
arts instructor, Elvis's national artstruct.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
The one that ran off with Priscilla.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
I think it was a different one. But when Danny Bayliss.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Was a kid, he got to shake Elvis's hand at
the Karate studio.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Oh how cool is that?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
They said, Elvis, come on over here and meet my son.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, deny to meet you. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Dan Rather has one of the best Elvis stories. So
Dan Rather was like bragging. He was with his wife
at some big event and he was bragging about how
he had met Elvis and he got to interview Elvis
and blah blah blah, and his wife was just standing
there and all of a sudden, she goes, well, I
can do one better. She goes, I went to a
high school dance with Elvis. She I grew up here
(06:55):
in Texas, in Central Texas and Elvis was playing. It
was before he was famous. And she's like, would you
go to the high school dance with me? And he
went to the high school dance with her.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Wow, oh are you show tonight? Take off your skin
is tonight.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
So dan Rather's wife probably do with Elvis. What are
you doing?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I don't know. I don't want to speculate.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Elvis. Keep that Pelvis far from me.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
I gonna need you to get on top. I'm kind
of kind of worn out.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
You see who's on the phone. Maybe it's Elvis, Elvis Central? Hello?
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Oh they did?
Speaker 1 (07:35):
Oh hello boy them show well this Diane, Hey Diane.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
What you know?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Well, I'm heavy white. Pick up my jersey, I one,
what do you want a hat?
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Yeah, well the Donas Garcia one here?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Oh look at you girl.
Speaker 5 (07:56):
Anyway, y'all talking about Elvis' birthday today. And I was
working big state record distributing at the back in the
day when he passed. Well, the promotions lady, you know
how everybody had a girl in every city they've been at. Anyway,
she dated Elvis, but when he passed, they called her
some Sun records to let her know before she heard
(08:18):
it on the news. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
I wonder how many calls they had to make. Diane.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Well, oh, I know I've told this story before. My
great aunt Ruth, the weird woman that had all the dolls.
She used to own a record shop. Of course, again
I called the record shop, and Elvis would stop in
every once in a while. I just want to make
sure you got my latest single, Miss Ruth going from
Dallas to Houston or otherwise he'd stopped there because she
(08:48):
had a pretty sick Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Yeah, wow, that's super cool.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
When you visit Graceland, his tombstone doesn't have his name
spelled right, so I think he's alive.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
I see, And that's the thing, Aaron is misspelled. Yeah,
so it's spelled Aron Aron.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Do you guys think that maybe I'm in trouble with
some sort of an Elvis curse, because the first time
I stopped at his gravesite, I squatted down, I dropped
my left hand and I pinched up just a little
bit of that soil from his from his grave, and
I kept it as a souvenir.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
You think is that bad?
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I'm all haunt you, baby, Elvis is going to be
in your bedroom and they didn't catch you.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's just dirt.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
No, I was super sneaky and I really wanted it. Yeah,
I still got it in some little jewel case or
something somewhere put away.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Elvis is dirt.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
Yeah, his house reminded of some sort.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But well, now, no, she's talking about Grace.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Graceland is not a very big house or a pretty house.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Also, one time when I visited Graceland, they take into
the jungle room. There's a jungle room, and I'm just
kind of looking around and the guide is explaining shit,
and I look down and there's a toenail in the rug.
It must be the king's toenail. Y'all could clone him
if you just get it. It was a toenail. I
(10:16):
could tell it was a clip toenail. Colonel hand me
to clippers.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, for whatever reason, he didn't want to trim his
nails while sitting on the john.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I guess not. Well, that's when you should trim your nails.
You wipe and scratch that stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Nasty, nasty. Now, I do love a good peanut butter
fried like he had liked it.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
I took all his recipes. But did y'all go in
the room where you had to put on the white
gloves to touch anything and do it.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Oh no, that they just told us not to touch anything.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
How about the room with all the TVs so he
could watch all of his spoils downstairs?
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Basement right, super claustrophobic. It's a narrow stairway you go down,
and then that party room downstairs.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
It's kind of small. You kind of you feel boxed
in down there.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
His kitchen remind me of my grandmother's kid.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
I love the kitchen. I think that was my favorite part.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I remember we couldn't go upstairs because there was someone
living there stairs.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Delta lived upstairs, so you couldn't go upstairs.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Yeah, Elvis, rest in peace, and thank you for the
memories and the music.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, brother put them on camera here one more time.
Thank you, Diane. That was a nice contribution.
Speaker 5 (11:26):
Well, y'all have a great weekend, and I'll be seeing you.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
He seen you on social media. You're going to go
to some more fabulous restaurants this weekend, Diane.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Yeah, probably most likely.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I want to.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Start hanging out with Diane because she goes to some
great restaurants.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Bring us a doggy bag sometimes.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Love you, Diane, Love you.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Okay, the work thing.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Her phone was cutting up just a little bit. But
that was very useful and interesting stuff from Diane.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The friend that I stayed with in Memphis. He was
an independent record promoter, so you know their reputation. Oh yeah,
Howie Goodman and I absolutely loved Howie and he lived
in Memphis. But he had been big baseball star when
he was in high school in college and the New
York Yankees were trying to draft him, but then he
(12:13):
messed up his arm. But Elvis met him and liked
him so much that he wanted him to be part
of the Memphis Mafia. Oh really, yes, and how he said, no, no,
I'm not into that. But then he got into the
record business.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Uh huh, now would you?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
How would you turn down being a part of Elvis's
Memphis Mafia.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
They remained good friends until Elvis died, you know, but yeah,
he didn't want to be part of that group.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
It's kind of a loner kind of guy. Very fun.
On a restaurant in Memphis, how he did it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
State have you ever had Memphis barbecue?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Yeah, it's like a dry rub thing, It's not wet barbecue.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Yeah, it's good, but it's really hot. They have hot barbecue,
and I got barbecue spaghetti one time, and oh it
was greatness because I like it.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
I don't like that Ohio spaghetti where they.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Put Cincinnati chilli spaghetti and stuff. All right, to go
back to the Memphis Mafia real quick. Bo, Did you
and Jim never get a chance to talk to people
like Sonny?
Speaker 1 (13:17):
Or we talked to both of them.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Sonny was at the state Fair one year and we
went and hung out with him a little while. No kidd, Yeah, okay.
Elvis stories, there's.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
So many Elvis stories.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
May he rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
When you were talking earlier about where we were when
we found out that he died, where were you both?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
I was at my radio station in New Orleans. And
the lady at the front desk, God, I can't remember
her name, she comes crying. I thought, God, what happened?
Did she lose a family member? Elvis just died.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
And this was right after the Leonard Skinner crash. Oh
well yeah, yeah, the Leonard Skinner crash was after Elvis's death.
Because the Skinner crash was October twentieth, that was my birthday.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Impactful though very close on the timeline, and for rock
and roll people, that sucks when stuff like that happens.
You know, Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell both unlive themselves
right around the same time, and it was like, wow,
double whammy.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Man.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Oh and Tom Petty and Eddie Van Halen when they.
Speaker 4 (14:21):
Died, Yeah, it hurt.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
So I remember that Tom Petty was around the time
at the Las Vegas shooting of that music festival, A
real yeah, And it was just you were already depressed
because the shooting in Vegas, and then when you found
out that Tom Petty had died, it was just that
whole month sucked for.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Yeah, A blind side, yeah, for sure. Super cool show today.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
We had a lot of dark news that we are
responsible for getting out to you about passings and whatnot.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
But yeah, but had a lot of fun.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
We paid tribute to each and we want Yeah we did.
We kind of poked at Elvis a little bit, but
we've been doing that for years.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
That was fun though, and I think Elvis would have approved,
I really do.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
I still feel so bad that everybody knows that he
died on the jawn. That to me is just, oh God,
give him some dignity.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
If he walk in here, he'd laugh about it too.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I guarantee I can die in mid hunker.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Okay, not want to. If I go that way, you
have to promise me that you will cover it up.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
You will not.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
You will make sure that nobody knows that that's how
I died.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Hell no, I'm gonna take pictures of the toilet and
watch him.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Wants us to drag her dead body into another room
so that she doesn't yes.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
The same reason why when I fell out of the attic,
I drug myself through glass to get to to ask
somebody to help me come by, so that the ambulance
people wouldn't see me in my skimpy pajama.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
You didn't want to be found that way, No way,
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
They should have moved Elvis's body.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Well, listen, if any of y'all get a wild hair,
I'm gonna get my fat ass up a little early tomorrow,
and I'm gonna get to one of the Alien movie.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Oh yeah, I kind of I want to see that too.
I've seen all the Alien movie.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Yeah, I've been reading the reviews and they're mixed.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Uh, it seems to be leaning more in a horror
movie direction than say, you know, the hr Giger art
and Wrigley Scott's vibe and all that. It seems to
be more about blowing up and shooting people in the
face and getting eaten up and well all that. It's
an action alien movie.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
You really should see Deadpool and Wolverine first.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, I need to do that, and see.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
It in three D if you can see it in
three D.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
Okay, all right, just a little for you. That's about
all I got on the schedule this weekend.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Because you're in the air conditioning. Be way too hot, people,
take care, take precautions.
Speaker 4 (16:40):
Yeah, please do be careful, have a good and safe weekend.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
We'll see you back on Monday.
