Speaker 1 (04:40):
That's what everybody wanted to Finally, on the fifth week
of September, he's here. Tom Cadle's back.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
I know a secret until Tom know a secret, A
secret to.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
The well.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Wow, I forgot about that seafood line.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Are you too about it?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Yeah? I forgot where it was going. I should have known.
But Tom, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
Thanks for having me back.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
Great, you told me a fact outside that. I can't
believe it's been two years since you've been here.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
It has since the September of twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I knew you missed last year because of the train
issue that we had. Was it the track started on fire?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, the track started on fire or something in Hagwish.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, which, how does that even happen this time of year,
the most mild weather we get, a little.

Speaker 3 (05:40):
Brush fire took over.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
I don't know, Hagwish.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Random arson occurred in the air.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
I think Nick's onto something. Blame it on Hagwish.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
I mean, well, yeah, if someone says it happened in hagwish. Oh, well,
I don't need to know exactly what the detail is believable,
it's entirely plausible at that point.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
But I, for some reason in my mind, I thought
you you were with us in between that and I
haven't even seen you in person in two years.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
That's when I'm learning maybe I think, I think a
couple of times.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
Okay, I hope. So it's gonna say, I felt like
I've seen you.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well when we talk all last year. I'm sure we
saw each other. Why what happened in October of last year?

Speaker 3 (06:21):
Yeah? Oh that's right, that's right, that's right.

Speaker 1 (06:23):
Okay, well that must have been it. Well, Tom, we're
glad to have you back for the fifth and final
week of September. Do you have any thoughts on like,
is this the song you were gonna do last year?
Is this a new discs? Like what's what's where are
you coming from with what you're bringing us this week?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
No, it's it's something that hasn't been in the rotation
the last few rounds. Actually, a couple of the other
ones that I had thinking about this year. We're in
the rotation before and got dropped and they got dropped again.
So wow, just then, it's a hard Like I was
telling Nick early, it's a hard it's a hard decision
to make. There's a lot, there's a lot of stuff

(07:06):
to go through.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
He's got a long career on tom zones.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
But it's also, at the same time relatively easy because
it's a safe bet that Tom Jones song is going
to have some element of horniness in it.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Absolutely, that's a good point. I guess it just depends
on how I'm feeling. And I had it down to
three this morning, so made the decision on the way here. Wow,
there you go.

Speaker 4 (07:30):
Those are oftentimes the best decisions, and.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
So your choice is locked in.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
It's locked You want to get you want to get
looped up a little bit? Here I do all right,
did you bake it? Well, it's part of it.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Heart.

Speaker 5 (07:52):
You can put that on me.

Speaker 1 (07:54):
Let's leave some mystery here. You can put it on me. Tom,
What do you got over there?

Speaker 4 (08:00):
Some ass and ween my ice cream Sunday soda.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
It really is. But he wasn't joking last time I
talked him about this. Look at that.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
It's not even diet either. One hundred and fifty calories
of that care.

Speaker 3 (08:17):
And then then we had a slice of pie of
some sort.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
That was messaging with Tom about that soda and figured,
let's have some tonight.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
What's up with this pie?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Nick trying out a different flavor combo? The uh, we
have a gram cracker crust and directly got pie. Directly
on top of that, we have my tried and true
peanut butter cream cheese layer. Decided to reserve half of that,

(08:52):
did not put peanut butter in half of the mixture
through in some apple cider and some apple pie spice.
People like to dip their apples and peanut butter. That's
the logic I'm going.

Speaker 4 (09:03):
Was that euphemism for something?

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Or we'll see what song Tom pics and where this
might apple.

Speaker 4 (09:10):
Dip and is the recipe of the day. So so
should we like do like group your float.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
Style pour this or that would be chaos. It would
be but I'm not going to say don't do it.
But that's not the intent.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I'm not sure I could do that without making a mess.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
That would be a story of my life.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
But yeah, that way.

Speaker 4 (09:35):
So you guys were talking about acid and ween or
ice cream Sunday soda and you decided to bring some over.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
Yeah, and I was under the impression that you said
you had some and it was good.

Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, it was good. Okay is this new?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Yeah, it's new. You know.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Our friend Arturro was texting me about it last night,
so it's getting around.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
The interesting thing about it is I'm like, oh, okay,
roop your float right, and I'm like, wait a minute,
that's chocolate sauce illustrated on the top of the can there. Yeah,
what is this going to be?

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Like?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah, it's uh, yeah, you can't go wrong with acid. Wiener,
I'm still talking about that drink. Of course. Here's the
label at A and W ice Cream Sunday that underneath
it ice cream Sunday Soda? Is that necessary to have
another line in parentheses?

Speaker 1 (10:26):
And Wiener?

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Yeah, I mean I get why you have to have
artificially flavored here, but why this why ice cream Sunday
soda right under ice cream Sunday? Some asshole in the
legal department insistent.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I'm sure our friend Bev and the chances I'm drinking
ice cream soda flavor pepsi is this?

Speaker 4 (10:50):
Is this the newest thing?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Ice cream?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
It made its way across the pond is pepsi or
like a cola and ice cream? Is that a brown cow?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
Or I think you're correct?

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Okay, so it's a brown cow. Soda brown over there
straight probably straight from monster to you bev from there.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
We have a pepsi bottling plant not far from Mana
Zuma Studios.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
She's got the sugar free. She's doing it right, Nick,
she is fattening us up over here.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
Thanksgivings coming.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
Maybe there's a high V brand.

Speaker 1 (11:25):
Maybe maybe there's a block strums or whatever you said.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
Wild Wood.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
We'll come back out of nowhere.

Speaker 4 (11:31):
MUG needs to get on board with this trend.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Should they do. Mug is a great social media they
are account Yeah. Okay, so time you got your song
picked out? We got our treat here, Nick, thank you
for that. Time to get down to business.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Are you ready?

Speaker 1 (11:47):
Tom's reveal what it is?

Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm ready?

Speaker 1 (11:49):
All right, you got the information in front of you.

Speaker 3 (11:52):
I do.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Let's turn the microphone over to Chris Jericho.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Hell, this one's Cold Love Me Tonight, off of the
best of Tom Jones by the band Tom Jones Up.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
All right, are you guys familiar with this one?

Speaker 1 (12:12):
I don't know if I am I.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
Know this, it's such a I do not. I am not.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
It's kind of a vague title.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
So it only appeared on his best of collection. It
wasn't on so they.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
Didn't see that it was on an album. It was
a single that was released in sixty nine. Yeah, I
didn't see it on any other album, so I didn't
want to say single a lot of it.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Yeah, it seemed like there weren't always you couldn't count
on everything being an album track back.

Speaker 4 (12:38):
Then, Yeah, correct, okay, so originally called sixty nine Me
Tonight in honor of the year that it was released,
but then again another legal department intervention said you couldn't
do that. So by the same guy who works at
assid ween or you gotta have a ice cream Sunday

(13:02):
on there twice just to make sure people know.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
Because it's ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
I said, this kind of this is the kind of
thing that gets me worked up. This was uh it
says ice cream Sunday soda right under ice cream sun.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
It's like, what the fuck is that a translation?

Speaker 3 (13:20):
What was it? Recently? Like on milk they had to
they had to say something like this contains dairy products,
Like yeah, I believe.

Speaker 4 (13:28):
All it just it's it pisses me off. Like on
a zero sugar can? Does it say zero sugar soda
right under zero sugar?

Speaker 7 (13:39):
No?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Why is this on?

Speaker 4 (13:42):
It's rat?

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Do you need to keep this can as a commemorative
piece here? Maybe it's a misprint, like like a rare album.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
What do you think of it?

Speaker 4 (13:53):
I haven't tried it yet.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
I haven't try right now.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Andy, have you tried it?

Speaker 1 (13:57):
No yet, not before today, and not yet today, but
I will shortly. Chris thoughts it's pretty rich.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
I'm not used to non diet or full sugar soda,
so it's very rich. I'll say, take a few more
SIPs before I get my final assessment of it.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Legals listening, Yeah, fuck legal, there's a lot going on
in that soda. There is.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I can already tell this reached Love Me Tonight reached
number thirteen on the Billboard Hot one hundred in July
of nineteen sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's pretty good, number thirteen. It's not bad, not bad.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
On the way here, I had a feeling you're gonna
get into that we saw.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know if I can find it now. We
saw that limp biscuit has a number one single right now?

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Really? Oh? The title is I Love Me Tonight.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Making love to Morgan Wallen.

Speaker 2 (15:04):
I remember the video like I remember when it came out.
I saw an article about it.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, I did too.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Okay, Well, olymp Biscuit doesn't care, so why not?

Speaker 4 (15:12):
Who is Morgan Wallan?

Speaker 3 (15:14):
He's a country artist. Oh, never heard of them.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Apparently they're making love to him number one single.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
Jackie piling on she hates lymp Biscuit.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
But number one, number one, So that's twelve times better
than this song by my man, So we'll see.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
I haven't heard chart in other countries. The Tom Jones song.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Uh yeah I did. Let's see here says it was
on the UK chart as well.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Where was the.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
This doesn't have It's not like the regular Wikipedia article.
It says number nine on the UK Singles chart.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
Let's see where Olympus gets charted in the UK.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
And I don't know if number higher than one it was.
I think national anthem is a number higher than one.
It Love Me Tonight reached number two on the Adult
Contemporary chart. Whether Olympiscuits new song is on that chart
or not has yet to be determined. This song was
written by three Italian fellows and a brit named Barry Mason.

(16:27):
Barry Mason, Barry Mason.

Speaker 1 (16:29):
Who.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
A lot of one thing that that swayed me for
the song too? Is there is a Johnny Mathis version
of this song?

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Really? Oh yeah, I think there's a Johnny Mathis version
of every songs that you wouldn't even.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Like.

Speaker 2 (16:48):
When that that Michael Jackson Paul Anka song came out posthumously,
Love Never Felt So Good, it's like, Oh, Johnny Mathis
did this in the mid eighties. Of course he did. Yeah,
who's had a longer career between Tom Jones and Johnny Mathis.

(17:10):
I'm gonna say, Johnny Mathis.

Speaker 3 (17:13):
Is he's still among us?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I think he's just I think he's just retiring from
live performances, like fairly recently.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
All right, Frankie Valley should take a note Frank Gott
to hang it up.

Speaker 4 (17:26):
Frankie Valley doesn't make any decisions for himself. Whoever is making.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
Those handlers take note they should.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
He just bugs his eyes out of his head and
walks around.

Speaker 4 (17:37):
The only notes they care about our Federal Reserve. Notes
are sent their way after each shockingly unfortunate appearance by
Frankie Valleys right in front of on full display people

(17:58):
paying to see it. Mhmm, all right, so love me tonight.
This one rose to the top of your group of
three finalists. Hornier than the other two, I hope.

Speaker 3 (18:16):
Yeah, hornier and the other one. There's a toss up
between between another one the third one upcoming years. Yeah, yeah,
I think I'll have to do the other one since
it's finished runner up a couple times already, so I
might have to make my decision now for next year.

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Always a bridesmaid.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
All right, Well, I'm Nick. Do you know the song
you had this great?

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah? Oh yeah, I have that.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
I have that one that was that you could order
through TV back in the late nineties.

Speaker 3 (18:48):
I got that for Christmas, Nick, Nick up at three
in the morning ordering Tom Jones c D. This is
the one.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, I got it as a gift, but I saw
the commercials several times.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
And was I might have had something to do with
you getting that as a gift. I might have been
You've helped pull the trigger that Nick wants.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
This still have it?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (19:03):
Of course I remember listening to this because I'm looking
at the track listing. I remember the order, but I
so this is right after Delilah. I can't think of
how this goes right now, but I bet I'll recognize.

Speaker 3 (19:13):
It right away.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Yeah, because I'm sure we would have played through Delilah
right into this, you know. So let's find out. But
let's take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back
with more. Tom Koldle kind of has a like a

(19:40):
Greek party vibe to it.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
So yeah, it's very sixties.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Oh yeah, like extremely sixties, swinging sixties.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Me tonight heading to the Parthenon.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, it's uh, it's it's exotic and of its time.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
Thing that like the kind of just song that inspired
the entire Austin Powers Franchi.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
Yah. Yeah, yeah, like you could. I mean, I'm not
an expert on Bert Becherac everything he wrote, but you
could tell me this was written by him, and I
believe it just here just hearing that part.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yes, I was gonna say, it sounds like something that
Herbalport would have done to Yeah. Yeah, all the same
Wheelhouse exactly.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
I like it.

Speaker 8 (20:27):
Let's keep going.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
I know that it's late and I really must leave
you alone.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
Are we sure this is not Herb's band?

Speaker 2 (20:53):
I'm gonna look it up.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
It sounds a lot like.

Speaker 3 (20:59):
M We're gonna find out. But I don't think there's
a lot of information.

Speaker 4 (21:03):
There ain't much uncredited studio guys.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
You know what I'm I'm going to look up in
another place here.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
Maybe you should add it to Wikipedia.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
For some dispute it Well, we know some people who
can edit Wikipedia if we if we uh, politely ask
if we come up with anything that sounds at all real.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
So the first line of this, if you fast forward
twenty to thirty years, this is like the opening self
oh of a booty call at like three in the morning.
He's taken this soft approach to say, acknowledging that it's
ridiculously late and he really shouldn't be doing this, but

(21:49):
he's going to continue on with the call.

Speaker 3 (21:53):
It's ridiculously late. Would you like to buy my CD
from TV now? Please? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
You can't come over right now. I'm buying a Top
Joey CD. I'm on the phone. Yeah, In fact, I
can't click call waiting. I was on the one eight
hundred number trying to sell me something else. But but no,
this is this is this type of language ended up

(22:23):
twenty thirty years later in your typical booty call is he?

Speaker 2 (22:27):
And I was getting the impression that he was there already, Like, oh,
I know I should be going sort of a thing.
But I like the idea of he's on the phone.
Now he's springing this on her over the phone.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
All of a sudden, he's on the rotary.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Could be either one, Yeah, we'll find out.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Well.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
You know, this is before the days of texting, when
you could simply fire off a U up and then
just you know, if nothing happens, who cares. But you
actually had to place a call and hope that it
was answered on the landline.

Speaker 3 (23:00):
You go into your spiel and hopefully the switch operator
didn't screw up your call. Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
So I used to just call and scream egg plant
over and over into the phone. I hope that it
would work.

Speaker 3 (23:12):
That did it? No?

Speaker 7 (23:13):
No, but hold feels such a long way from a home.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
See it's the he's doing he's doing a chriss l
vocal thing there, or he's he's slowing it down.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Elongating the h.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Like like yeah, going going slower than than the beat.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
I like how you're saying that Tom Jones is doing
a vocal siling of mine. I mean he is yeah,
not wrong, but yeah, but you know he's whether he's
there or not, whether he's nix the serious correct that
he's with this woman and he's trying to not be

(24:05):
kicked out or asked to leave or whatever, or he's
placing a booty call. He's taking what I feel would
be an effective approach. It's like he's acknowledging that he's
probably out of order a little bit, but he's playing
it kind of playing it safe, but pumping good to hold.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
He's being sympathetic to what what might be the difficult
decision for her.

Speaker 4 (24:36):
And playing up to the woman as the caretaker role.
It's like, I'm a long way from home. I don't
have anywhere else to go. You know, he's playing on
that that vibe.

Speaker 9 (24:58):
But I'm from it's gold of its true mistake.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
Don't just send me away?

Speaker 9 (25:08):
No?

Speaker 4 (25:08):
No, okay, okay, we gotta stop are Yeah, he's there,
let me stay. So we know that now. So is
this is this conversation happening right by her door as
she like moved him toward the door, hinting that he
should be leaving.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
That could be complicated, I'm sure, or a second round.
Oh my oh it's Tom Jones.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
To my goodness, what are these rounds?

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Speak? It's golf minilf another round of acid wiener? Oh
well wow, just root beer? Okay, so can I have
some more ice cream?

Speaker 2 (25:48):
Sunday? Ice cream Sunday?

Speaker 3 (25:50):
So? Oh sorry, God, I'm gonna get dragged out here,
out of here.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Yeah, okay, I'm just trying to catch up lyrically.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
I don't know. I'm thinking he's still in the living room.

Speaker 4 (26:04):
They're not all the way by the door yet.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
What's he drinking?

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Cognac or something?

Speaker 2 (26:10):
That seems to be where my mind went.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
To brand perverts drink something in a sniff?

Speaker 3 (26:16):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
I see a lot of people talking about being sitting
there drinking konnak in the live chat currently. Actually, yeah,
a bunch of perverts.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
It checks out.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
They don't have my glasses on. But I think I
see cognac written over and over there.

Speaker 1 (26:35):
Yeah, something sniffed or emojis to each other.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Anything that would involve swirling in a you know, in
a shaped.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
Glass would be this part of the romance.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Right, Well, I mean, but he's at her place. Do
you think do you think she has cognac and sniffers
on hand, and women keep that kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (26:58):
Her husband probably does well. He probably scandalous.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
Probably he probably had a suitcase. Probably yeah, with all
this stuff be in there.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
So did he do gift bags as well?

Speaker 4 (27:15):
He might?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Was that Jeter?

Speaker 3 (27:18):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (27:20):
I could see Tom Jones doing that.

Speaker 4 (27:22):
What's with the gift bags, Derek Jeter?

Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, we we talked about it was that last week
or two weeks ago, weeks ago that there was a
story back I don't know, the turn of the century,
probably that that he would give out gift bags to
women he spent the night with.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
And I completely blanked in that conversation. That sounds like
something you would do.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Yeah, like, thanks for spending the time with me. Here's
some gifts. You'll be on your way now.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Yeah, Uber gift card. Hint hint, get the.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
Fuck out Starbucks gift card.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Yeah, go sober up, something to the the y w
take a.

Speaker 4 (28:03):
Shower, Walgreen's gift cards so you get the morning after pill.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Wouldn't surprise me. Those guys, those professional athletes just sniffed
or shakers shirlers.

Speaker 4 (28:16):
Are okay, Well, let's see what's going on. Because he's
he's asked nicely. Please let me say stay, so don't
you send me away? So we'll see how she reacts.

Speaker 9 (28:34):
Tell me maybe say you never met.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Andy. Didn't want to stop it. He knew you guys
were pointing at him.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
What's up.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
Well, he's scroll up a couple. He's like, say, you'll
never leave me. Well, of course I'm not leaving. I
live here. You're the one leaving.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, but you say that, it's it's like a lot
of the kiss lyrics that we've talked about. You take
control of the situation. It's a bit of gas lighting.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
No, it is absolutely yeah. Yeah, we're interpreting that the
same way the uh.

Speaker 2 (29:18):
I love the fact that the Delilah esque horns are
in this chorus as well.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
I wonder which one came first.

Speaker 3 (29:26):
Probably Delilah, I think Delilah did.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
I'm assuming, Yeah, I think Delilah was sixty eight. Chances
are this woman is unmarried. He probably if you listen
to Delilah.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Yeah, well it's the swinging sixties.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Nick, you never.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, yeah, but.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
This ain't Pleasantville, No, I guess not.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
But you think that swing in sixties thing was real?
I think just some extent, some extent, you know, like
more so than now.

Speaker 3 (30:04):
I don't I don't know. Yeah, this is the horror
in twenties, I guess.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
So really I know that was going on. Horr twenties,
that's what I call it. I'm just made up a term.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
It's clever.

Speaker 3 (30:16):
That is good. I like that.

Speaker 4 (30:18):
Whether or not that's going on, who knows. Don't travel
in those circles.

Speaker 3 (30:24):
But yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
It's just something that got played up in pop culture.
So I think naturally people would just do it to
get with the crowd that they think that that sort
of thing is going on everywhere.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Yeah, But I mean a lot of the movies that
were out around this time, they were all like you
would get these stars from the previous generation and put
them in a quote unquote sex comedy. You'd have Bob
Hope and Lucille Ball in a sex comedy. Doris Day
was in like fifteen of them.

Speaker 3 (30:55):
What's the sex comedy? Uh, it's just especially back then.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Back then, I mean, it was just I guess it
was mainly like the themes of what was the situation
was more of the mature part, not necessarily you know
what was being shown on screen.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
Right, A lot of cheeky illusions.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
The storyline and the situations.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Were risk compared to just make love and then just laugh.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
I'd watch that.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
I know. I knew that would get in and I
knew that would interest Andy. Yeah, that's right up.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Into that. All right, let's see what's happening next. You know,
I'm thinking of reading these lyrics. Maybe there's some kind
of natural disaster happening outside and he doesn't want to
be he doesn't want to walk home in it. It's
an earthquake, like, you know, this is.

Speaker 4 (31:45):
La riots going on outside?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Yeah, there was what were those riots in the sixth.

Speaker 4 (31:51):
Whether they had the sixty seven riots in Detroit?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
Yeah, Watts Watts was happening. Yeah, there's a lot unrest.

Speaker 4 (32:00):
Yeah, civil unrest. You just want to get true.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
This was around that.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
Time the Manson family murders going on.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Yeah, maybe he was gonna leave because he was you know,
he's Tom Jones, he's a player. But then he's like,
wait a minute, I think I see someone outside.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
I can be killed?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
Is that Charlie outside?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
I can be killed?

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Hey, baby, don't let me go? Could be it.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Sixties were wild, not in a good way.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
What's the Tarantino movie? Once Amount of time in America?
Is that what it's called Hollywood?

Speaker 3 (32:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (32:33):
Yeah, somebody like three strangers out in his drive he
sees them in the driveway. Yeah, I don't think I
want to go out there tonight.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Having second thoughts here about leaving. Please don't leave me, baby, Tom,
till the.

Speaker 9 (32:49):
Dawn and breaking tonight.

Speaker 6 (33:00):
Can I can let you out of my sounding me
to know?

Speaker 2 (33:11):
Tom we All, I noticed, I noticed a reaction. What's
burning deep inside.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
The chlamydia could be?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
What's the sixties?

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Right?

Speaker 2 (33:24):
Goes with the territory? I suppose? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:27):
Or just his passion? Both? Both?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Why not both?

Speaker 3 (33:33):
You're mutually exclusive?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Que the tortilla commercial? Why not both goes? It goes
well with the Tijuana brass sounding is there. It doesn't
really make sense on paper, but it makes perfect sense
when you're hearing it. You've got this guy from Wales
who's an incredible soul singer. Put some mirry horns, like,

(34:01):
put some Mexican flavor on that, and it works. It
wouldn't make sense if someone pitched it to you without
hearing it, but it's worked time and time again for
Tom Jones.

Speaker 1 (34:12):
You're right, I don't know why I don't know if
it would work for anybody else, though it might be
a one off.

Speaker 4 (34:19):
A lot of things work for Tom Jones, it wouldn't
work for anybody else on the planet, so this might
be one of them.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Yeah. I could just imagine like being at the local
El Salto and the mariachi band comes up to the
comes up to the table, and he starts playing Love
Me Tonight.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Yeah, it makes perfect sense.

Speaker 3 (34:37):
They would do that to you, wouldn't they, Tom? They would.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
This is from uh we lost track of which lady
it was that that sent this request, but uh, like
sending champagne to your table.

Speaker 4 (34:51):
And perverts drink of some story to the table.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
Can you imagine that you get sent a snifcher of coal.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
Jack across the room like it's happening.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
It's a clear message right there.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
Yeah, all right, let's keep going.

Speaker 7 (35:18):
Wait, it's so long for the girl of my dreams
to be.

Speaker 3 (35:27):
And now I.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
Can hardly believe that's you really.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Sounding. H How would you say, like like Peppi la pew,
Doctor Jekyll's turning into mister Hyde a little bit here.

Speaker 3 (35:41):
Yeah, the story kind of I don't know whence somewhere.

Speaker 1 (35:45):
He's over there he's overcome with horny news.

Speaker 4 (35:48):
Yeah, the burning, the burning sensation is taking over.

Speaker 3 (35:53):
It's taking over his brain.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Yeah, I went from his loins up to his brain.

Speaker 4 (35:58):
He's laying it on to this woman he is, which
you know sometimes you gotta sometimes you have to sensing
that she's would prefer that he leave, and he's he's
not halving.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
It long belong.

Speaker 9 (36:21):
How can the feeling be wrong?

Speaker 3 (36:26):
Dalling be kind?

Speaker 8 (36:28):
I'm out of my mind.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
There goes the mind amazing.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
Yes, yeah, I mean, there's he's I think I probably
say this every year on this episode. He's an uninhibited vocalist.
And hence the whole month that we're celebrating and the
theme of it. There's there's no inhibition to his his

(36:59):
vu performances.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
There's more to it than horniness. Yeah, I mean, I
mean the whole like September, the September kind of thing.
There's there's more going on with him.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, And I respect respect, like he wants my respect.
But the fact that it's almost like he'll go way
over the top. You know, it's like Jim Carrey, but
he's not a comedian. But you know what I mean,
Like about al Pacino, Chris so not like a best
of al Pacino cursing people on yeah, where it's like
over the top, but it works for who this guy is.

(37:34):
Yeah yeah, where it's still kind of humorous, but it's
not turning it into a joke.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
Yeah yeah, which I'm sure is a fine line.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah, because if you were like, oh, I'm gonna do
I'm gonna do what that guy does, it would just
be too much.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
It would be wrong, you know.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
But like you said, they're dancing right on the line
of taking it as far as you can go.

Speaker 4 (37:53):
Well again, Tom Jones, there's a long list of things
that he's the only guy in the planet who could
get away with things on that list then and now
so and this is probably falls into that category.

Speaker 7 (38:11):
Oh tell me, baby, cat, you need me say you
never leave me? Love me tonight, maybe all the babe,
it's longer.

Speaker 9 (38:24):
I can wait a little bit longer, love me tonight.

Speaker 10 (38:30):
Sobbing burning inside, sobbing reading night, I can let you
out of my sounding love me Tonight.

Speaker 2 (38:47):
I really enjoy the uh juxtaposition between the rest of
the song and then when we get into the chorus,
it goes into like the it's not at least it
doesn't sound like it's close miked on the drums, you know,
like we don't have like, uh, well, I guess what.

(39:08):
The Beatles are usually credited for what like Tomorrow Never
Knows or something like that, for the big closed, close
mic drum sound.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
So they're the ones who ruined everything. Well started there,
went downhill. But this doesn't sound like it has that.
But if you, if you, if you really focus in
on the drums, it's straight up like that's a funk beat.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
I mean that's like the chorus. Yeah, I mean if that,
if they close mic that and isolated, that's gonna get
sampled and rap songs. I think if you, if you
listen to it, I mean, it's just not as prominent,
but it I love the fact that it's kind of
like a like a little more up tempo and then
all of a sudden, it's like it actually it's pretty funky,

(39:56):
but it's but it's some sort of Italian music with
like Mariacci And actually I was just looking it up.
Apparently this is a rework of an Italian song, which
is why you have three Italian gentlemen as writers. But
then you've got a British fellow. So he probably wrote, Yeah,

(40:19):
rewrote it with different English lyrics. It was called I'm
not gonna do it a la fine della strada to
the end of the road, So.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
It sounds a little more romantic. It does, but.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
Yeah, I'm guessing it's not as much about.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
What this one is burning.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
Yeah, this is more lifetime commitment sounding kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (40:50):
He also spoke to the pain earlier. What what pain
exactly do you think he's talking about now? Again, we
can go back to the STD pain, the pain of
blue balls, as it's referred to.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
He got hit in the head with a cinder block
on the way over.

Speaker 4 (41:09):
As possible, jarl and rest sat on his balls in
the bathroom because he didn't want to lift a toilet
seat and a woman's place. I mean, there's a go
down the list of possibility.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Maybe he smashed his sniffer, was getting angry and next yards.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
Maybe he was a temple. The passion over took him
and he squeezed the sister and shattered in his hand.

Speaker 1 (41:33):
That's no good.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
You don't want that, that's not Maybe Jim Gellette was
rehearsing next door. Maybe Jim Gellette was being born next door.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
His cry and sieved.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
His cryes as an infant were breaking glasses all over
the place.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
Every time he needed a changing, he was breaking windows.

Speaker 7 (42:03):
Love you do not love me?

Speaker 3 (42:15):
Wow, big finish. How you do it? That's how you
do it?

Speaker 2 (42:19):
Overdrive on his I mean, I'm guessing that's just he's
he's singing so loud into the mic that it's overdrove
the desk.

Speaker 1 (42:27):
Yeah, it's the Andy Jones effect.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
It is the Andy Jones jim Ji.

Speaker 3 (42:33):
Let just went shooting right into the wall.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
All right, it's time to vote. Sweet Surrender are kicking
the crotch? Tom, you brought this one to us, Gonna
need you to vote first. What's it gonna be?

Speaker 3 (42:47):
Sweet Surrender? Of course? Hell yeah? Yeah that ending too?
That what ten or fifteen second belt that he did?
That kind of put it over the edge for me
as well. I do recall the song. I haven't heard
it in a long time, and when it popped up
on shuffle, I'm like, this has to get added to

(43:08):
the list, and it won.

Speaker 2 (43:11):
So the cream always rises Tom.

Speaker 4 (43:14):
The ice cream someday, Tom, your thoughts on the.

Speaker 3 (43:19):
Soda, Oh it's good, I've had it before.

Speaker 4 (43:24):
Oh okay, yeah, the pie have you had I did
have one.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Yeah, pie worked out.

Speaker 4 (43:31):
Yeah, Yeah, the pie was great. Soda, I'm not too
enthused about it. It hits immediately with this weird artificial
chocolate flavor that's not pleasing to me really.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
So it looks like a sort of a thing where
it's a kitchen sink drink where it's all kind of
in there. But if you make a float with it,
it's actually actually works, I believe, because I thought it's
going to be too much if it's with a well, no,
it actually works.

Speaker 7 (44:00):
Well.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
It's actually too much on its own. It needs to
be blended with something. I think. That's why I initially yeah,
there you go. That's why I initially asked if I
should pour it on the pie. I should have been
swirled it around proper perverse.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
I think that would have been the actual recipe for chaos,
the formula for chaos.

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, just drinking it straight I couldn't stomach. I'm not
gonna be able to finish it.

Speaker 3 (44:28):
Not my bag.

Speaker 4 (44:30):
Thanks for bringing it though, Nick.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
Sweet Surrender. Hell yeah, yeah, I love that this song
is as I kind of talked about already, But I
love that there's so much going on. It's an Italian song,
and you could tell there's like an Italian folk kind
of whatever flavor to it, the mariachi, the soul singing,

(45:00):
the like sixties movie credits background vocals that you know,
it's it's like it's it's a song that it comes
together very nicely, but man oh man, like if you
break it down that way, it's stuff that you wouldn't

(45:20):
think you're gonna pack into one.

Speaker 3 (45:22):
Song, kind of like this soda.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
It's the this it's the ice cream sundae soda of music,
pop music, Tom the wait, no you already want.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
Chris Sweet Surrender for me? Hell yeah, I mean a
great vocal and then the way he finished it out,
it's just takes it to a superior vocal in my opinion.

(45:56):
And one thing we didn't talk about, but I'm gonna
give some props to is those glossandos on the harp. Yeah,
went through three or four times, very very effective and
something you don't hear. That's another thing, like like a
good sack sol We need more harp playing and pop music,

(46:20):
I think.

Speaker 2 (46:21):
And that's I mean, if you heard it now, chances
are you're not going to have a an acoustic harp
in the studio being recorded.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Probably not mostly is.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
There anybody out left on the planet who still knows
how to play one? Probably a handful of people.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
But yeah, I've seen it. I can't remember the last
time I have, but I've.

Speaker 2 (46:41):
Seen it at like the Chicago Symphony and stuff like that.
But as far as like.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
As far as you know, Bullpen Luxury Bar, they got
the the open mic with the with the harp.

Speaker 2 (46:53):
That would be great, that would confuse the entire entire clients.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
All yeah, could you even fit that through the door
of an establishment?

Speaker 3 (47:06):
Inside? They're not open yet, They're still building the harp.
It just says on the instruction delays, still building the.

Speaker 1 (47:17):
Harp my turn. Huh Sweet Surrender or kicking the crash?

Speaker 3 (47:22):
Hm?

Speaker 1 (47:23):
Sweet surrender? Well yeah, there was no debate there, that
was just theater. But yeah, Nick said, it's an Italian
song that's reworked for Tom Jones. My initial thought was Greek.
I guess it's all Mediterranean. That vibe sounds like.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
There's some there's some sort of olive oil involved.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
There's olive oil involved. There's some kind of wild dancing,
hip shaking, twirling like like light scarves, scarves, fingers, finger
symbols potentially getting into the Middle East. I don't know
what side of the Mediterranean are we on?

Speaker 2 (48:03):
I don't know, but it's again, this song is all
over the place.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
It is with hints of Mexico. Yeah and the two Yeah,
which side of the Atlantic Ocean are we on?

Speaker 1 (48:16):
It can't decide, It doesn't matter. It all works though.

Speaker 3 (48:18):
Yeah, it's just a you know, global appeal is what
it's got. You're right.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
You can imagine people breaking plates to it. Yes, yeah,
it's just screaming drunkards.

Speaker 3 (48:29):
Can you be playing the hard rock?

Speaker 1 (48:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (48:31):
Right, possibly chickens fighting to it. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Why not.

Speaker 3 (48:37):
They don't have a harp.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
They don't have a harp at the hard rock. They
don't have a venue harp that people use.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
They don't have one on the wall from I don't know,
from this, from hark session, from this hung Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Well, hey, four sweet surrenders. I got a question for you,
Paul All Stanley wants to know. He needs to know.
Let him know if Love Me Tonight is a rock

(49:12):
and roll boner classics.

Speaker 2 (49:14):
I'm thinking about it because you usually asked the question.
Paul Stanley wants to know. Should he be doing this
song at this year, you know whatever. His star Child character,
there's a bit of Tom Jones in it.

Speaker 1 (49:30):
I would say I could see that, I mean in
spirit the Bravado dancing around, dancing. Yeah, Jean took that part.

Speaker 2 (49:47):
Yeah, he wasn't. He wasn't breathing fire just out of
his face.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
It seems to make sense that a around the time
period to come up with that character of the star child,
the lover whatever you want to call him. Yeah, I
mean you look at who would he model it after
that was a contemporary.

Speaker 4 (50:17):
That's probably a long list there, but probably so.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
But I'm thinking on that list there's got to be
influenced from mister Tom.

Speaker 3 (50:27):
I'd be surprised if there was n't. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:31):
Also another hairy man.

Speaker 4 (50:32):
Yes, penchant for gold medallions, uh rest nestled among the
chest pubes. Now there's similarity there.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
How's your gold medallion collection coming, nick?

Speaker 2 (50:49):
I got a lot of medals on my chee.

Speaker 1 (50:53):
They're not a huge, but it sounds like the dog park.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
I got a lot of metals.

Speaker 2 (50:58):
So sometimes it sounds like a squirrel got into the door.
Sometimes taking it off, it's like a snag.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
All right. My votes in.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
It has to be unanimous. We'll see everyone's gonna cast
their votes momentarily.

Speaker 3 (51:15):
M yeah, my votes votes in. My vote is in.

Speaker 1 (51:26):
My votes in.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Are you sure? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (51:31):
I'm just staring at this kiss poster on the wall
from the Parthenon Theater that our dear friend Kelly Lincoln
gave us five fifty tickets.

Speaker 3 (51:44):
Nineteen seventy four.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Oh, I think I think you could have gotten Nosebleeds
for five fifty at some of that last tour.

Speaker 1 (51:55):
Yeah, say five dollars and fifty cents? You guys ready?

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (52:07):
What order?

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Are we going in?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Same order?

Speaker 1 (52:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:09):
It was it Tom, Chris Nick? Me?

Speaker 4 (52:12):
I think it was Tom Nick.

Speaker 3 (52:14):
Okay, Chris you okay?

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Rock and roll, big ass boner, expect nothing less here

(52:42):
on the final week of September, when our friend t
K the Turtle Killer brings a song with him.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
What an accusation?

Speaker 4 (52:51):
That was Turtle's dad, right?

Speaker 1 (52:55):
Extremely might not be Tom, I have just thought it
was dead. Put it in the garbage, still waiting for time.

Speaker 4 (53:02):
You put it in the garbage.

Speaker 3 (53:05):
I have it end up with your hip.

Speaker 4 (53:10):
The garbage. That's where it ended up.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
I don't remember what we did with him. He didn't
go in the garbage. I'm sure we buried him like
all our other animals in the backyard murder. I think
there were just three, a turtle and the other two turtle,
a cat and a rabbit.

Speaker 4 (53:31):
All right, cheaper than what it costs to dispose of them,
and by professional means.

Speaker 3 (53:39):
Ask me how I know.

Speaker 4 (53:43):
I believe it?

Speaker 3 (53:45):
You get him? What can I think of the word? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (53:51):
Yeah, all right, does anybody know anyone? Just I remember
hearing an expression, never get your your pet taxi journeyed.
I don't know. I don't know anybody who's done that.

Speaker 3 (54:10):
Who's done that?

Speaker 4 (54:11):
I mean they're they're they're kills from hunting, Yes, but
like a family pet.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
I've never heard of that.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
I've heard of it, but I don't know anyone who's
actually done it.

Speaker 3 (54:22):
Yeah, not me.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
We were such a happy note that weird.

Speaker 3 (54:32):
Well, yeah, what happened? If you disagree with.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Us, just mounted on the wall, fucking ten dog heads
up there.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Let's let it be quiet as long as we can.

Speaker 2 (54:52):
I don't even know who said what.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
All right, Hey, so last week we had a conversation.
We're talking about bull Tom. I don't know if you
heard it yet. If you did, and that's okay, why
I did? Okay, So Chris was saying, there's no way
you could be on the tour. What do you think
talking about pro bowling?

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Zero chance?

Speaker 1 (55:09):
Zero chance? Tell me zero chos. But we mentioned that
we were going to discuss it, So let's talk about why, why,
and what the ins and outs are and what the
difference is.

Speaker 4 (55:18):
Well before we get into this, that's just you know,
re establish Tom's credibility as a bowler. How many career
three hundred games?

Speaker 3 (55:28):
Fourteen? Okay?

Speaker 4 (55:31):
And last week you had what a two sixty eight? Yeah,
which I disappointed. Over the past week, I've realized that
you were intentionally mocking me with that because my highest
game ever is a two sixty seven. So just on
some random Tuesday, you fucking beat me by one pint.

Speaker 3 (55:50):
I needed the last nine strikes in that game to
get that.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
So why had the first nine strikes of a game
ringing seven pin on the first shot of the ten frame?
Because I'm a lefty and of course I missed it.
So yeah, but okay, So clearly you're an exceptional role
or why is the professional tour next level for in

(56:16):
terms of somebody like you? Who thinks that they could
they could possibly.

Speaker 3 (56:22):
Do it because it's hard, it really is. I mean
what makes it hard though, the patterns. I mean you're
not bowling on a typical house shot. So that's uh,
that's one problem. And they switch every week.

Speaker 4 (56:37):
Sometimes they got two different ones they have done the
same change.

Speaker 2 (56:41):
Yeah, they'll have like the pattern and viper by design
just to throw people off.

Speaker 4 (56:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, and people know what it is,
but you have to adjust your equipment, your whole approach.

Speaker 3 (56:53):
It would be better if they didn't know. Yeah, here here,
go out here, figure it out. See what it is.
But I mean it's it's it's hard, it's it's rigorous.
I I right now, I can't even bowl bowl six
games and I'd be dead. I'm just not in shape anymore.
I mean it takes it takes some physical that's prowess

(57:14):
to bowl sixty games in a week.

Speaker 4 (57:16):
Oh my god, no kidding, right, And also, you know
you're not always assured playing league play in Northwest Indiana
that the lanes have been properly oil.

Speaker 3 (57:29):
They just assumed, Oh this is especially these days. I
mean there's I mean, there there's such a shortage of
workers at the bowling alleys. So I mean, you don't
know what you're gonna get you. They might not put
any oil in the machine and it beat bone dry exactly.

Speaker 4 (57:43):
So so you go on the tour. You got a
fresh ice rink every time you're out there, and it's
an ice rink. It is an ice rink, and the
margin for error is near zero because they do.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
I mean, they still do have these have these leagues
around here that do the sports shots and all the
all the professional oil patterns. And I've done it a
few times, and I mean it's hard. I mean, I
struggled to shoot a two hundred, right, you ain't.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
You ain't firing off a three hundred, no kind of
pro level oil.

Speaker 3 (58:14):
No, No people did. But I mean, I mean, and
this is the way they break down to. It's it's tough,
and it's it's it's not cheap.

Speaker 4 (58:22):
I mean, you got to you gotta get sponsors, and
you get you gotta pay for your to travel and
you get that side of your own pocket.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
Yeah, these days, you got like they're not that young anymore.
They're probably like pushing thirty now, but you got all
these all these guys, they just become friends and they
just get an Airbnb and it's like twelve of them
in a house.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
Right, that's the tour.

Speaker 4 (58:42):
Yeah, but before Airbnb, they would be they room together
and red roof in.

Speaker 2 (58:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:48):
And you know it's not they're not staying at the fucking.

Speaker 3 (58:51):
I mean, they're not the seniors that come up come
over to Olympia and got that. They don't have r vs.

Speaker 2 (58:55):
Yeah. So so the whole thing with the oil patterns
is that just to separate the men from the boys,
Like where you've got, however many in every town, at
every bowling alley, you've got probably at least a handful
of guys who can put up those numbers under normal circumstances.
Is that just basically like all right, there has to

(59:17):
be an additional challenge on top of that, just so
we can see who the pros are.

Speaker 4 (59:21):
Well, yes, and and in short, yes, the answer to
your question.

Speaker 3 (59:25):
Yeah, but if you're if you're going to other other centers,
I mean house shots pretty much a house shot going
from going from place to place, it's not really that different.
The raines could be different because I mean, we boil
on wood lanes. That's one of the only wood lane
centers around and then you go over the synthetic and
that's that's completely different ballgame. There's so much easier to

(59:45):
boil and synthetic because the wood breaks down so much
faster than like somewhere like Plaza.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
Hmmm, whereas the wood lanes that you bowl out start us,
start us. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:58):
But yeah, And it's it's the travel, it's the and
they're probably on the Pro Tour, probably eight oil patterns.

Speaker 3 (01:00:06):
At least at least you can name.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
I mean, one of the one of the things they
do on the tour is they have a five week
series where each tournament is on a different pattern.

Speaker 3 (01:00:17):
Oh the World Series, right.

Speaker 4 (01:00:18):
Right, So you have to you have to have different equipment,
you have to you have to adjust your shot differently,
you have to aim differently every week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:29):
And you said they have names like Viper.

Speaker 4 (01:00:31):
Yeah, Scorpion is one. I can't think of the others.

Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Offen.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, but these guys, like if they say, hey, we're
doing scorpions today, they know what it looks like.

Speaker 3 (01:00:38):
They know oh yeah, they have.

Speaker 1 (01:00:39):
An idea where I'm gonna They know exactly what it's.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
It's not a surprise.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
You know what it is and what they have to do.

Speaker 4 (01:00:47):
But you have to adjust your whole game, and they're
still into balls. And then, like I said, there are
other tournaments where you know how they be bawling pairs.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
So you're on a pair of lanes.

Speaker 4 (01:00:59):
Each lane has a different oil pattern, so within the
same game, you have to have a completely different approach
from one frame to the next. So, yeah, your your
your normal club bowler in Northwest Indiana. Ain't ain't cutting
it on the pro tour. No.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
And that's like I said, I got fourteen. That's not
a lot compared to a lot of the people. Oh god,
there's a guy I know, he's got like eighty five
and that's it. That's the other thing.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):
And this is coming from someone who would give his
left one to roll with one three hundred games, Like, yeah,
I get these reels, these guys finishing out, they're three
hundred games, No joy whatsoever. I'm just like, yeah, you know,
like this, it's like fucking like I said, I would
probably fall to my knees and start weeping.

Speaker 3 (01:01:50):
He would, he would fall those knees in fall. Yeah,
exactly two ninety.

Speaker 4 (01:01:56):
But you know when I had nine strikes in a
row coming up and had tenth, I was like, holy shit,
this is within reach, and that tenth shot was right
in the pocket.

Speaker 3 (01:02:05):
Are you feeling it?

Speaker 10 (01:02:06):
No? I was.

Speaker 3 (01:02:07):
I was.

Speaker 4 (01:02:07):
I was in his zone.

Speaker 3 (01:02:09):
Obviously. Every time it comes and I still feel it,
I get nervous up there.

Speaker 4 (01:02:13):
It makes sense, Yeah, I mean I obviously I was nervous,
but not to the point where I completely watched the shot.
It was right buried in the pocket and had a
ringing seven pin, and of course I fucked that up.
But yeah, I couldn't believe it. It was like nine
going into the tenth frame with a perfect gamet.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Did Jay ever get a three hundred? Didn't he have?

Speaker 7 (01:02:37):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Aw, I think that was it. I don't think he
had a three hundred.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
Tom I bowled with.

Speaker 3 (01:02:46):
Those guys a few times. Yeah, oh geez, that's a
good thing. I lived across the street.

Speaker 4 (01:02:51):
I watched the ogs for just the Mountain of beer cans.

Speaker 3 (01:02:55):
Yeah, Mountain of beer cans.

Speaker 1 (01:02:57):
Yep, I remember that wild Turkey and beer cans. Its rough.
And then I'd show up at the open mic at
Chris's Cafe.

Speaker 2 (01:03:08):
So it's all Jay's fault, Tommy. I had to bring
up Stardust right next door.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
Oh that's not my startist anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
Oh that's not your startup.

Speaker 3 (01:03:21):
Yeah, I'm in Maryville.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
Oh you're all the way up in Meryllville.

Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Nick's favorite grocery store is being purchased by another grocery
store group. That might not be big news. That might
not sound like big news to you, but you should
know how much Nick loves his grocery.

Speaker 4 (01:03:37):
Store eighty eight years the same ownership.

Speaker 1 (01:03:43):
How often you go to the grocery store, Nick, As
often as I can? Three four times a week? Yeah, day, right,
you go often.

Speaker 4 (01:03:50):
I've been.

Speaker 2 (01:03:51):
I've been a few times a day on weekends. Gotta
gotta go to this, gotta go to this one for this,
this one for this.

Speaker 3 (01:03:56):
That's true, that's what we do.

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
But I enjoy my Waltz and do your regular al
d run and then get all this stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:04:03):
You can't get it all. Yeah. I remember the last
time we went to walls, we ran into your mom.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
Yeah, well, good luck. I hope everything's okay with walt
We'll see. I hope they'll get some bean counters coming
in there saying let's make these aisles narrower. We can
squeeze more product.

Speaker 4 (01:04:19):
And I don't thought you were going to say something else.
It's gonna be like a easy guy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
No easy, Okay, time you got time for yardo questions?

Speaker 3 (01:04:30):
I do.

Speaker 1 (01:04:31):
All right, Well, we've got one that was sent in today.

Speaker 4 (01:04:35):
Already had one question about the Bowl, and so this
will end up being a four something.

Speaker 3 (01:04:40):
I guess. All right, we'll be right back dear John's questions.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Yes, Chief.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Turning on. How about it?

Speaker 10 (01:05:03):
Tom?

Speaker 3 (01:05:06):
How about it?

Speaker 1 (01:05:07):
How about what the Cubs are going to the playoffs?

Speaker 3 (01:05:09):
I'm good? Yeah, are you excited about that? Or oh
they're I mean, I know, I know who your team is.

Speaker 4 (01:05:16):
Well, I like a fucking epic historic I'd.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Like to say that we're running on fumes. Oh my god,
I can't believe what's going on with the Tiger.

Speaker 4 (01:05:24):
At least say one tonight, so it's tied. Yeah, but
they well Cleveland is a type bread, do they?

Speaker 3 (01:05:31):
So they basically have.

Speaker 4 (01:05:32):
To win at least two of three. The next three
in Cleveland has to lose to it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:37):
And how's that? How's that last wildcard spot looking? They're
a game up on Houston Houston. Okay, yeah, that's all
the balance. But if they don't make the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (01:05:46):
It'd be a historic collapse, the biggest collapse since they
went to divisions in nineteen sixty nine. So not good,
but it could still happen. They can still make it.
It can still win the division.

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
You guys are in, all right us, Yeah, just playing
for home field advantage in that wildcard round. So all right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:13):
This week's Yardo Questions comes to us from Tom Codle's
bowling ball. That's what it says.

Speaker 4 (01:06:23):
That's funny because I was just about to ask. That's
That's the other thing with the you know, it's all
these different laying conditions. You got to have an arsenal
bowling balls. How many bowling balls you own?

Speaker 3 (01:06:34):
Seven? Seven? That's it. Yeah, I've got I got a
friend of mine he's got twenty five. My brother in
law has a ton. I mean all four of them bowl.
So they got a house full of bowling balls. But
I only have seven. I only buy one every couple
of years. There's two fifty three hundred bucks.

Speaker 4 (01:06:50):
Yeah, they're up there now.

Speaker 3 (01:06:51):
So I mean, I'm no pro I don't have a
sponsor to buy any balls. So yeah, I mean you
got to pick and choose, and sometimes you even wrong
and the ball just doesn't work and it's like, well,
there goes three hundred bucks.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
Yeah, exactly right, sell them when you get a new one.

Speaker 3 (01:07:08):
No, not necessarily, can You're you're only gonna get like, hey,
it depends on who's buying it. If you sell to
ap proach out there and give you like forty bucks
for it.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
Yeah, it's like going to funk Land.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
Yeah, but maybe like you hold on like the one
I'm the most recent I bought. It didn't work last year.
I only used it three weeks And that's the ball
I bowled my three hundred with a couple of weeks ago.
I've been using it there for a week. Weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (01:07:31):
You had a three hundred. Yeah, asshold, I hate this guy.
This week I just fired off at three hundred the
ball that didn't work for me a year ago. Womp,
take care, I hate you.

Speaker 3 (01:07:51):
It was it was posted in the Republic of pod thunderstand.
I didn't somebody somebody took a picture of it at
the blowing Alleys to Dave Tomko posted it. I didn't
see that.

Speaker 4 (01:08:03):
I'm kind of glad I didn't, or you wouldn't have
been allowed this year? Was that during league play?

Speaker 3 (01:08:11):
Yeah? I don't open bowl beneath you. No, I don't
have I mean I don't have time to so it's
also beneath you. Yeah, okay, well we'll go with it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:23):
So it was every was everybody excited or was this
another one of those joyless three hundred games?

Speaker 3 (01:08:29):
It's everybody's like whatever, Oh no, they were excited. I
was joyless, just like I hate what I don't know's
I've been there, done that to smile and the smile?

Speaker 1 (01:08:42):
Which game was it?

Speaker 3 (01:08:43):
In the three game series? Game?

Speaker 8 (01:08:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:08:45):
That's good? So what was your series seven? O? Seven? Okay,
so you know downhill? Yeah? After that?

Speaker 2 (01:08:52):
Yeah, you made your made your point though right at
the bit.

Speaker 1 (01:08:57):
All right, So this bowling ball sent ama all to us,
it says, dear boners. In honor of Tom Codle being
on the show today, I submit these bowling related questions
for consideration. Question one, if you could bowl around with
any band slash artist, who would it be? And why?

Speaker 3 (01:09:16):
That's a good one.

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
I mean, Tom, you gotta you gotta say death lepard.
I think Rick.

Speaker 3 (01:09:33):
Why not?

Speaker 4 (01:09:34):
Well, he ain't going to be a two hand or
that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:09:36):
Yeah, yeah, we'll go with what We'll go with.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Rick Allen from dub Lebert, Rick Allen ain't copp and
Jason Belmonte's approach.

Speaker 3 (01:09:46):
Those days are over for him. What a what a
good deep bowling joke, not very deep and now bowling.
He's like the king of the two handed a propoacha,
which is getting somewhat much bowling.

Speaker 4 (01:10:04):
Yeah, bulling somewhat controversial in bowling circles, right, I think people.

Speaker 3 (01:10:10):
I think people need to get over it, and people
need over it. It's fine, it's it's a perfectly legal
yes exactly. I mean nothing wrong. If you're jealous, do
it yourself.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
Yeah you're not, You're you're not too many.

Speaker 3 (01:10:22):
No, I've never even tried it. I think I might
hurt myself. Yeah, it's not worth it. But yeah, Rick
Allen ain't doing it. We don't that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:32):
But uh yeah you know Phil could bowl with his shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:10:36):
Off, oiled up.

Speaker 2 (01:10:38):
Yeah, what pattern would he have on his as the viper?

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
Rick Savage of course would have the wrist brace on
like he plays bass with Grandma Savage.

Speaker 2 (01:10:51):
Yeah, they're all they're all turning into Grandma's they are.

Speaker 3 (01:10:56):
It's sad.

Speaker 4 (01:10:57):
Are you going to the hard rock show?

Speaker 3 (01:10:59):
I'm not.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
It's just too expense to expensive. Are the tickets is
fucking three four hundred.

Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
Bucks right now they're at like six hundred. Yeah, I
mean to see him in that intimate a venue, Oh,
it would be great. I should have jumped on it
when they were I think pre sale, they were like
one yea or something, and I was like, people will
sell them and I'll get them cheaper. That was wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:11:23):
Yeah, that's the thing you have, kind of like your
bowling ball gamble. That's the same reason I didn't go
to see pittfall.

Speaker 3 (01:11:32):
There would have.

Speaker 4 (01:11:32):
Been fucking amazing to see him at that venue.

Speaker 3 (01:11:35):
I don't think I would't even remember him being there. Yeah,
it was like two years ago.

Speaker 4 (01:11:40):
The tickets were off, the bat were three hundred bucks.
He's I just couldn't justify it. To see him in
that small of a venue. It'd been awestome.

Speaker 1 (01:11:50):
Phil Colin had the viper oil pattern on his stomach
after he did a hand Dad, Yeah, he did.

Speaker 3 (01:12:00):
Who would you guys bowl with? Uh?

Speaker 2 (01:12:06):
If I could, I'm gonna I'm gonna pick three guys
all right, from the same era. But if I if
I if we had two lanes and the four of
us to be me Dean Martin Louis Prima and Phil

(01:12:32):
Harris of the Jack Bennie Show.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
That's an interesting group.

Speaker 2 (01:12:38):
All from what I'm pretty sure they are all somewhat
acquainted with each other. Seemed like I just those are
three guys that there's gonna be some laughs plus from that.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
Era, you know, like we're gonna be laughing at you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:56):
They would be laughing because I'd be terrible. That's fine,
don't care. Oh yeah, yeah, Tom knows. Tom knows better
than anybody here. How I have zero bowling ability.

Speaker 4 (01:13:12):
I don't even remember we need to do a pot
We need to do a pot bowling outing. I mean,
I know open bowling is beneath you, Tom, but I think.

Speaker 2 (01:13:21):
The four of us should make go and maybe some
red pin.

Speaker 4 (01:13:24):
Get some get some social media content from it.

Speaker 3 (01:13:29):
Be fun Oh, it would be funny because I don't
have the greatest form at all. So I laugh at
myself all the time. Like they'll take a video of
me when I'm shooting three hundred. I'm like, don't show
me that. I don't want to see myself bowl.

Speaker 2 (01:13:41):
I don't want to. I don't want to see how
bad I looked when I throw that through that strike
just now, twelve in a row. Yeah, I looked increasingly
awkward with every strike.

Speaker 1 (01:13:53):
Hey, our friend Jackie says that there's a deaf Leopard
cover band playing in Griffith November fourteenth, avin.

Speaker 3 (01:14:00):
Ave nine Knights. Well, it's not going to and they
want a bowl or what I'm thinking about it?

Speaker 1 (01:14:05):
I go over to set them up right afterwards, maybe
Chris who got uh?

Speaker 4 (01:14:13):
So it's obviously they don't have the same members because
two of them are dead, But I would like to
uh bowl with Alice in Chains and see if we
can recreate the goofiness of their water park trip from
the head hair Headbangers Down.

Speaker 3 (01:14:32):
That's a good one.

Speaker 2 (01:14:33):
Yeah, I thought of that too, because that's a that
was a great episode. Yeah, Ricky Rackman had no idea
how to handle just all the shenanigans going on around him.

Speaker 4 (01:14:46):
Yeah, so I'd like to see if we recreate that
at a bowling alley. It's all sorts of potential for
zaniness at a bowling center.

Speaker 1 (01:14:55):
So how are you sticking with def Leppard?

Speaker 3 (01:14:59):
I'm gonna throwing an honorable mention. I'd like to bowl
with Mookie Betts. Oh yeah, he plays for the Dodgers.
He's a baseball player and he's also bowld on the
tour before. Yeah, he's a really good bowler.

Speaker 4 (01:15:14):
Could be pro.

Speaker 3 (01:15:15):
Yeah, no, kidding, absolutely all right.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
Question two, if you were in a bowling league and
they had walk up music, what song would you pick?
Or for Tom, which def Leppard's song would he pick?

Speaker 4 (01:15:29):
You've been pigeon holed Thom's type cast?

Speaker 3 (01:15:34):
Yeah, I always I always thought armagetnet would be a
walk up song for me, Like you always think about baseball,
you know, wanting to be a baseball player, and you
always think about that, you know, walk up song, the
armagednet but.

Speaker 2 (01:15:47):
Maybe a little well what would go what kind of
different What would be the difference between what do you
what you want in a baseball walk up as opposed
to a bowling walk Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:15:58):
Nothing, it's the same energy, but you want you want explosive.
Oh yeah, it's energy.

Speaker 2 (01:16:01):
Okay, I didn't know. I didn't know if you wanted
to ease into it a bit more.

Speaker 3 (01:16:06):
Oh no, no, oh no, no, pump it out. It's
the same mindset, sorr. Yeah, yeah, I'm going arm again
it since I'm pigeonholed the deaf leopard and that's fine.

Speaker 2 (01:16:18):
Thanks, question asker, Well, I think I know who's one
of your bowling balls.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
I think I think I know who it is. I
know who it is.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Let's just say, uh, let's just say it's a product
that you're considering buying, which I think you still have
a few minutes to buy that capo that you are
eyeballing on Amazon.

Speaker 3 (01:16:37):
Oh no, that was for you, That was for me,
you said, no.

Speaker 2 (01:16:40):
Yeah, I think we have a serious capo user asking
the questions.

Speaker 4 (01:16:47):
Never once used wanted my entire line either.

Speaker 2 (01:16:54):
Tom gave me my answer, because they're beneath you, like
open bowling right up.

Speaker 3 (01:17:00):
Now you're getting it.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
I want to hurt my fingers playing that entire f major.

Speaker 4 (01:17:10):
What'd you say? Tom stole your a?

Speaker 2 (01:17:12):
Tom gave me my hands.

Speaker 3 (01:17:13):
Oh what is it?

Speaker 2 (01:17:15):
Tom used a phrase and basically talking about what effect
he wanted from his walk up song, and he used
the phrase pump it up. I'm going Elvis Costello, pump
it up. Something about bowling makes sense with once once
that organ the keyboard comes in, it makes sense in

(01:17:37):
a bowling alley. So that's what I'm going on.

Speaker 4 (01:17:41):
Yeah, I know you're that's a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:17:44):
Chris Well my Yeah, I'll my.

Speaker 4 (01:17:48):
Baseball walk up. Any walk up music for any uh
you know competition event is always the same. It's ballad
of a hard Man Thin Lizzie closing track on the
Fighting album. But if I had to pick another one,
since I've talked about pit Bull, I would go with

(01:18:09):
Kool Oh.

Speaker 3 (01:18:12):
That would be a good one. It would get a
rise on the people in the ball La Center.

Speaker 2 (01:18:17):
Pip would be a good one.

Speaker 1 (01:18:20):
Surprise Pitbull hasn't been embraced by the Pro Bowling Tour.

Speaker 3 (01:18:25):
Well one Tom. One of my bowling balls is the
DVA pit Bull.

Speaker 4 (01:18:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:18:30):
OK.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
Once I saw that was a model, I'm like, give
me that one. I don't care what it does, what
it's made of. This want of pit bull bowling ball
in my ears.

Speaker 3 (01:18:40):
I know people don't do it anymore, But did you
have your name engraved on it?

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
I dal, people don't do that anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:18:48):
No, No, No, that's that's that is. It never occurred
to me that they don't. But yeah, but back in
the day, my first bowling ball had my initials there.

Speaker 1 (01:18:59):
Of course, was part of the excitement.

Speaker 4 (01:19:01):
I agree.

Speaker 3 (01:19:02):
Somebody stole your ball, Andy, What are you talking about?

Speaker 10 (01:19:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:19:07):
That one I had I don't know. Yeah, you're walking
into it. I'm not accusing you of anything. Yeah, no,
I can steal them all. Yeah, you didn't steal them.
What are you talking about? I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:19:21):
A seth deterrent if you had your own name and
initials carved into it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:26):
Did you steal Mondo's ball or did he give you that?

Speaker 1 (01:19:28):
I bought it off. Well, he gave me one his
Harlem Globetrotters. He gave me one that was like the
ABA basketball, but it was a spare ball, and then
I used it in their league. And then I got
a Pantera from our friend Joe, who won't be on
the show, even though I asked him all the time
to come on. He sold me a Pantera for like

(01:19:49):
fifty bucks or something. And I think I got Jumbug
written on it for no reason, just a picking name
that wasn't mine, just in the mood at the time
when they said what name do you want?

Speaker 3 (01:20:02):
June?

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
And I don't have that one anymore. A friend had it,
and I don't know if it stayed in his parents'
home after he moved.

Speaker 3 (01:20:12):
I don't know, it's gone.

Speaker 2 (01:20:15):
I've never owned a bowling ball, never, never, Why would
I own a bowling ball?

Speaker 3 (01:20:19):
Why wouldn't you?

Speaker 2 (01:20:20):
They've got him there at.

Speaker 3 (01:20:21):
The Those balls are garbage. Come on, even trash down
the lane. Yeah, that's Nicks. We'll throw a submarine sand
much time it throws it down the lane and goes,
goes get some bread from Waltz.

Speaker 2 (01:20:36):
We saw that cheese that they put on over at Olympia.
Knocked down all ten bins those subs.

Speaker 3 (01:20:43):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:20:45):
Question three? Which member of which band pastor present do
you think is the best bowler? Or which member of
which band looks the most like a pro bowler? And
while you think of your answer, congrats Tom on rolling
your latest three hundred. Big thanks to the dude who
posted the picture and let us all know he's awesome.

Speaker 4 (01:21:08):
So now I know who it is.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
It is mister Cape himself.

Speaker 4 (01:21:13):
Yeah, I have to bust his balls about the capo
the next time I see him.

Speaker 1 (01:21:22):
It's the cockering of guitars.

Speaker 3 (01:21:26):
I should have brought my capo and my tambourine around
my neck, around your neck.

Speaker 4 (01:21:36):
Well, since you mentioned Pantera, Nick, I would say Vinnie
Paul had a pro bowler of vibes to him just
by his look.

Speaker 3 (01:21:44):
Yah Zeke.

Speaker 4 (01:21:45):
Although it's kind of Bowlers are kind of like golfers.
They're in much better shape these days than they used
to be.

Speaker 3 (01:21:52):
Yeah, these days, eh yeah, maybe on the tour. There's
a lot of slobs out there. I'm talking about the tool.

Speaker 4 (01:22:00):
It's not fucking Northwest Indiana, Merrillville Stardust people. But yeah,
you're talking about.

Speaker 3 (01:22:09):
Like pro pro bowler vibes.

Speaker 4 (01:22:11):
You know Vinny Paul, who's basically, you know, an embodiment
of Mark Roth, classic bowler in their seventies.

Speaker 3 (01:22:20):
So I think I'm gonna go Phil Collins, Phil Collins. Yeah,
I think he'd roll up to the joint and roll
a one seventy and spit in your face and chug
a beer. Really sure, he's got the look he does.
He's got the.

Speaker 4 (01:22:40):
Look of the every man basically, I mean, obviously in
his prime. Nowadays he's he's got nine toes.

Speaker 3 (01:22:50):
In the grave. Yeah, we're going we're talking prime. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:22:55):
Yeah, he's just a regular, regular dude showing up for
league night.

Speaker 1 (01:23:00):
Yeah, Paul Stanley liked bowling, didn't he?

Speaker 3 (01:23:04):
Bolding that commercial?

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Bet nobody watched. You might have to repost that this week.
That's one of the very first I think uh, pot
of thunder YouTube videos had to be mm.

Speaker 1 (01:23:18):
Hmmm, I think so.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
Yeah, I don't even remember that. Yeah, I don't remember
it either. I just got hotter than grape stuck in
my head forever, so does everybody else.

Speaker 1 (01:23:26):
That's that came from somewhere else. I can't even take
credit for it, right, It's.

Speaker 4 (01:23:35):
Like all the classics. It was channeled through you from
the universe.

Speaker 3 (01:23:43):
Nick, I got two, All right, it's here.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
I'm going Tom's Phil Collins pick inspired my first one.

Speaker 3 (01:23:55):
I'm a lot of inspiration over here, aren't I know?

Speaker 2 (01:23:57):
You're jarring things loose? Jeez, I'm going Bunny Carlos.

Speaker 3 (01:24:04):
Oh great, it looks like a ball.

Speaker 2 (01:24:06):
I mean, who does he not look like a bowl.

Speaker 4 (01:24:08):
Complete with a cigarette hanging in his mouth. It would
be in his mouth during his approach.

Speaker 2 (01:24:13):
Yeah. Yeah, Back in the days when if you walked
in to pick up a sub to take home, you
smelled like cigarettes. By the time you got out of there,
it was a haze, a visible haze hanging in the
air at the bowling alley. What year did they approximately
did they say you can't smoke in the bowling alley anymore?

Speaker 4 (01:24:36):
Ten years ago?

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
I would say like twenty tennish, I don't know. Yeah, okay, ballpark,
so then you can still smell it. Yeah, it's still in.
There's still in it. It's not going anywhere.

Speaker 2 (01:24:49):
No, that's like I'm a cat sprayed all over the
place twenty years ago.

Speaker 3 (01:24:52):
It's still there.

Speaker 2 (01:24:55):
So my second pick a different so of a look
to this guy but growing up in Hammond looks like
a guy who would have been a good bowler in Hammond.
I don't know their music. I just see him on Blabermouth.
Randy Blythe from Lamb of God looks to me like

(01:25:17):
he would be an excellent bowler.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
I can't even picture him.

Speaker 1 (01:25:21):
He's got the vibe of a Hammond guy.

Speaker 2 (01:25:23):
He's got the vibe of the guy that I would
have seen at Olympia Lanes and who would have Yeah,
every game would have been a two something.

Speaker 4 (01:25:31):
Actually yeah. And along those lines, I would say the
guitarist Willie Adler, guy who always wears the backwards ball cap.

Speaker 3 (01:25:41):
Is he gives out bowler there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:25:47):
Which isn't inherently a bad thing. We're sailing but there.

Speaker 2 (01:25:51):
But there is a certain type where there's a look
where if the guy is a really good bowler. A
lot of times there's a certain look to him. It's true,
a guy's a garbage bowler. Then you're looking at him right,
looking at that Azzi shirt thanks to Andy. Yeah, I

(01:26:15):
like that Andy snag that one WrestleMania too spectacular t shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:26:22):
Very nice.

years again. I know we say this every time, don't we.
It's not two years but maybe one year.

Speaker 3 (01:26:56):
But yeah, it was. It was a blast like usual.
And hopefully we get me on before next up.

Speaker 2 (01:27:02):
Time come back for the Christmas episode. Yeah right, I
already know what song we're doing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:07):
We want Tom, and I think Tom.

Speaker 2 (01:27:09):
Could be here for this. I think he should be
that is, Yeah, and.

Speaker 4 (01:27:12):
You can tell us how many more three hundred games you.

Speaker 3 (01:27:15):
Roll between now and then three months seventy zero it's
usually one every other year, so I'm right on right
on target.

Speaker 4 (01:27:21):
And every other year. Yeah, there's three hundred game I
rolled a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 1 (01:27:29):
How old were you when you bowled your first one?

Speaker 3 (01:27:33):
Twenty two? Yeah? Was that in league?

Speaker 1 (01:27:36):
And only counts if it's in league, right, well, he
doesn't open it as a younger guy.

Speaker 3 (01:27:40):
Well, league and in tournaments, so that that one was
in league. It was. It was a summer league, and
it was terrible. I actually fell on my tenth ball
somehow stayed behind the foul line because this approaches were
so sticky. It was so humid in there, and you
still had a strike, still got a strike. His best
best shout. I threw all game and I'm on the floor.

Speaker 2 (01:28:03):
Wow, Chris doesn't feeling anything.

Speaker 3 (01:28:06):
Were you?

Speaker 4 (01:28:07):
Were you actually excited for your first one or joys to.

Speaker 3 (01:28:11):
Oh yeah I was. And they actually gave me a
pin from the rack, So that's nice. That's nice. Yeah,
you get a ring for it. Yeah for them.

Speaker 2 (01:28:20):
Everybody stops right or no, I've seen it.

Speaker 3 (01:28:24):
Yeah, a lot, dude set actually, like like in our league,
like most people just keep going. Yeah, you're not supposed
to make a big you don't want to try to
make a big deal because it might, you know, throw
them off, right, So you just kind of want to
keep things as.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
You're aware of it, but you don't make a right exactly.

Speaker 3 (01:28:43):
But then I mean there's there are people that still stop,
like and the whole bowling alley stops, and it's like,
why why did you do this?

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
I mean, to most people unlike you, it's a big
deal to see you three D game you. It's old
hat to you. We get it, you know, and and
the rest of your cronies at Meryllville start us. But
to a regular shlove like me, that's a big deal.

Speaker 3 (01:29:12):
Man, that's a big deal. It's no big deal.

Speaker 4 (01:29:16):
But you're not supposed to fucking make a big deal
out of it because you could distract the bowler or
jinx the bowler go down the list and stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:29:26):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:29:26):
I mean you're aware of it, you watch it, but
you don't. The whole place shouldn't come to a complete stop,
A hushed silence of someone's trying to roll that twelve
strike shouldn't happen.

Speaker 1 (01:29:39):
Agreed, Friend Jackie says, Randy from Lamb of God is
in town Saturday. So if you want to invite him
out to the bowling. This weekend is the time. Oh,
it's our outing be at the horseshoe. Put it out, yeah,
put the word out.

Speaker 4 (01:29:53):
Yeah, we'll just jet over to Olympia and they're playing
at the Horseshoe.

Speaker 3 (01:30:02):
Interesting.

Speaker 1 (01:30:04):
Yeah, all right, Well, thank you everybody who listened. Thank
you for enjoying September with us. Tom again, thank you
for being here in the room with us.

Speaker 3 (01:30:15):
Appreciate it. Always a pleasure. It's nice to hear another
great song. Choice.

Speaker 4 (01:30:20):
Absolutely, but again, how can you go wrong with anything,
Tom Jones. I mean it's you know, it's kind of
like rolling a three hundred game for Tom. It's like
just a turkey.

Speaker 2 (01:30:31):
Shooting falling off a lug.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
Yeah, exactly, life is falling off the bog.

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
All right, well, everybody, thank you. We'll be back next week.

Speaker 10 (01:30:46):
Bye bye.

Speaker 6 (01:30:48):
