Apparently not something for every budget over there on patreon

all those tears, so nice, so many, so many choices. Maybe, uh,
when the trigger treaters come by this year, you drop
that in their baskets.

Speaker 1 (00:57):
I don't know that would be great.

Speaker 5 (00:58):
Would We should have thought of that ahead of time
and come up with like the coupons that you used
to get from McDonald's for Oh, there you go for
a free shake or whatever at Halloween.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Yeah, okay, we can still do that.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
It's not too late.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
We can do it. We can make it happen.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Public interest is at a deafening volume, then.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
I guess it is good to hear from you, Nick.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Thank you. You're trying to do something.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
This is the Conga King of Northwest Indiana. Hey, put
away those clacker fans, none of that here.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
You better watch your back. ICE is in the region.
I don't know if you've been reading.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
The headlines, but they're around round.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
And people up in ham and East Chicago. I would
I would think the Conga King uh oh would be
squarely in the crosshairs of that.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
So you gotta hide in the basement.

Speaker 5 (02:10):
I legitimately thought you met. Body Count was playing in
the region.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Iced Tea was in the area.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
I keep seeing ads to join ICE. What do you think?

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Can you just join up? I thought you had to
be like.

Speaker 4 (02:24):
You just sign up, then they train you and then
you're off and running.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I'm sure they're trade I guess just totally extensive.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
I've been seeing commercials on TV.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
I've been seeing those two. I haven't paid close attention
to them. So you just join up.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
It says no undergraduate degree required previous law enforcement.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
That doesn't.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Yeah, you just call and they train you up whatever
that means, and then you're off and running. But anyway,
ladies and gentlemen, focus behind me. He's gonna do something
for you. I don't know sure exactly what's going on here,
but let's find out.

Speaker 5 (03:18):
Nick.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Nick Pollock has entered the program.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
I think I don't know who that is.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Someone.

Speaker 4 (03:23):
I don't know what happened there.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh, there he is. It is him.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
There's a phantom that escaped into the media room. Here
there he is.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Look at that. If you had this, was this one
of your Halloween costumes.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
In thee the Paul Stanley Phantom of the opera half Mask.
I'm not doing a good job holding it up here
on camera.

Speaker 5 (03:44):
There it is.

Speaker 4 (03:46):
Geez, what was that like two thousand, two thousand and one,
something like that, later in two thousand and two, and
then yeah, when he did it?

Speaker 5 (03:53):
Was it the nineties? Oh?

Speaker 4 (03:54):
Is it that long? I don't even know.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
I don't remember.

Speaker 1 (03:57):
It might have been the nineties, I think, so, I
don't know remember the year, but it was a while ago.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
Already, Well, there you go.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Nick's here. Glad to have you and two next immediate left.
You want him? We got him?

Speaker 6 (04:16):
God, can have it every day, can have it?

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Get out of our way? Yeah, fuck you put.

Speaker 4 (04:31):
Your hands together. A breakout star at the podcast medium.
He's here today.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
He's in a mood a little bit a little technical difficulties.
Whoever decided that podcasting should be a visual medium. I'd
like to choke that motherfucker right now. Grab that individual,
buy the throat and fling them through something made of glass.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Not necessary? Huh, you don't like it? Too many, too
many hoops to jump through to get this going.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Just you know, something with no moving parts and whatsoever
has decided to just stop working? How does that happen?

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Woke up today and decided I'm done?

Speaker 5 (05:15):
That's that's like. It's like if you've got multiple chords
or something like that and all you do is lay
them in a bag together. Yeah, somehow, somehow, it's like
an around each happen.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Yes, yeah, that happens to us a lot. When we
move stuff around, we go do these shows, like if
we go do a hotel with our pals Chris, PJ
or whatever, Charlie. We come back and then one of
the cables is buzzing. It's like, how what happened?

Speaker 5 (05:43):
Did this happen?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
The shipthles I lived in in college and during the
band days, none of this shit ever happened.

Speaker 4 (05:51):
It all worked.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
It's just stayed together. It worked like one day, like
when you heaven landline. It's like, well, I moved the
phone two inches and now it's not working. It never happened.
That's a ship back in the day. Oh my answering
machine with the cassette tape in it. I was dusting

(06:13):
and I moved it an inch one way in the
wrong direction. Now it's just not working. It'll never happen
and it can't be repaired. Right, Just throwing the trash
and get a new one.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
This little tiny egg rolled about one inch into the
USB cable sticking out of.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
The computer dead. We've we've sat here and watched it.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
And knocked my camera off for five minutes.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
And he was off grid for christ Man.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
It's all takes fucking strangle somebody.

Speaker 4 (06:40):
The wind blows the wrong way and everything goes heywire.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
Anyway, we're gonna try to get through it today.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
Well, a lot of it will be contingent on what
song comes up. I'm in a mood that would probably
could be conducive to something really lousy, which is under
the new spook toe format is entirely possible, And do
you want to go back over that? For people, it
might be just tuning in for the first time.

Speaker 4 (07:07):
If you're here for the first time. Previous years, for
the month of October we've done Spooktober and chosen songs
that fit into a spooky or strange vibe interpreted by
the songs selector here in the room. And this year
we decided the spookiest option of all was to go
to the listener submission list, which you can access on
patreon dot com slash pot of Thunder and have one

(07:30):
pool randomly chosen between the seven hun I'm sorry, seventeen
hundred and fifty two options that are on there. Now,
that's about one hundred more than last Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
Yeah, people are people are on board with me. Yes.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
I was informed by a couple of people just today
that they spent a little bit of time sandbagging that.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Hey, well, hopefully it was a little bit of time.
But then again, the mood I'm in, I'm kind of
hoping I got something completely destroy it.

Speaker 5 (08:02):
Speaking of which, you guys hungry.

Speaker 4 (08:04):
Sure, why do you say that, Nick Lowsy.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
I don't know if it'd be lousy.

Speaker 4 (08:08):
Well, let's find out together.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
You guys can share this here, share it one each.

Speaker 4 (08:26):
There had a bag of meat.

Speaker 5 (08:27):
It looks like meat, So we have a dehydrator. Oh no,
So I experimented and made fruit leather. Okay, I had some.
It's pumpkin apple maple fruit leather.

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Thank you.

Speaker 5 (08:45):
This is the first time trying to make this, No,
I mean I tried it. I didn't think it was bad,
but but it's maybe not for everybody. And he's trying
to figure it out difficult extra perhaps I think I
probably should have made it thicker.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
But but yeah, it's like a fruit roll up kind
of right.

Speaker 5 (09:10):
Yeah, let's spoke to it.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
So but it's almost like if you ate human skin too.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Could be that says that just as I'm putting it
in my mouth.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well, I'm just warning you. M As far as the bite, it's.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
It's yeah, maybe a little tough texture wise, but it
actually tastes good flavor wise. I thought it turned out
all right.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
You know, the ingredients sound like I'm not saying that
this is bad in any way, but that sounds like
what you would read on a package of dog treats.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
Well, it's like apple pumpkin.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
And that's the thing is it's so simple.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Nothing that would upset the dog's stone.

Speaker 5 (09:44):
No nonsense in it, No diarrhea in.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
The house, hopefully none in this room.

Speaker 5 (09:49):
Hopefully.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yeah. Yeah, let's start with this. Start there.

Speaker 4 (09:53):
It's the last thing we need after all these technical problems.
So well, thank you, Nick, You're welcome. Let's see if
somehow this fruit Leather coincides with this song. You know,
I don't sure if I finish what I was saying.
I think I did. But we only get one pull
from the listeners submission list. So the scary part is

(10:15):
whatever you've added, we can't say no. Usually we get
three choices.

Speaker 1 (10:21):
Or we just decide, or we just pick anything on
the screen. Yeah, there's no limit to the choices, right right.
But now, so is it technically my turn? Really? No turn?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
It just gets settled, all right, But it's your turn,
so all right.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
Well, I'm not gonna look at the screen, Andy and Nick,
so keep your poker faces on. It'll be researching the
other thing once the number comes up, and.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Then I'll just read it out loud for you.

Speaker 5 (10:47):
Yeah, okay, I will not be looking so all right, Okay,
I hope it's no. I hope it's no life till
fruit Leather. No, that's not even a song.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Fruit Leather is a theme night at Dick's. Are you crazy,
I think every Thursday.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Actually, what are we doing here?

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Well? Can we get an uber over the end? He's
avoiding ice in the air, that's true.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
Yeah, that.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Shows up at dis Are you crazy? He's getting locked up?

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Actually, isn't this sort of uh what edible underwear are
made out of? Isn't it like a roll up?

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You put it?

Speaker 5 (11:28):
So you put that on?

Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, and then someone eat it off of your bare ass?
Someone could, someone would put that on. I I've never
gone down that path, But isn't I think it's some
type of roll up, the type of thing that, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
You've stumbled onto something.

Speaker 5 (11:48):
App the other way immediately.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
You got pumpkin everything else around this time here? Why
not pumpkin edible underwear?

Speaker 4 (11:57):
You're right, You're right.

Speaker 5 (11:59):
I would just take one with me to lunch.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Underwear.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
It's my Friday tree.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Sitting there.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
You want some.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Eating a box or short? What are you eating some edible?

Speaker 2 (12:17):
You know?

Speaker 5 (12:18):
The expiration date on the best best by a date
on these is coming up, and I don't see them
being used anytime.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
And then you few, I gotta better choke them down.

Speaker 5 (12:28):
I don't want to throw these out.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
I bought way too many starts in the crotch and
works his way out toward the waist. Band doesn't eat
the crusts, right.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I was just about to say that, but I couldn't
figure out a way to verbalize. But yes, people eat
Some people eat bread from the middle out. How Nick
eats his edible under I fold.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
It like a New York slice.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
And at work, so someone would probably still take that
out of the refrige.

Speaker 5 (13:02):
Yes, they would steal.

Speaker 1 (13:04):
It doesn't matter what it is. It could be, it
could be in the shape of a penis. It would
be gone, just because that's what people do in the workplace.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I've heard of that. I've never had it happen to me.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
It's never happened to me. I did one time. I
don't know if I told this on the show, but
just I'll just real quick get into it. One time
I did just barely nudge someone's to go, uh, you know,
carry out package.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
So it was like a USB device, just barely barely
touched it and empty.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
The thing jumped off of jumped out of the fridge
onto the floor. It was a salad oh all over
the floor.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
It was like, so fusius leave it there?

Speaker 5 (13:50):
No, I picked it up and I wrote a note
and I put it in there. Nobody ever got back
to me.

Speaker 4 (13:55):
I dropped this on the floor.

Speaker 5 (13:56):
I'm very sorry. I'll buy you another one.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
Did you throw most of it in the garbage or
did you put it all back in there?

Speaker 5 (14:01):
I think I threw it away. I don't, yeah, because
I don't want anybody accidentally yeah, eating that, but it
was like front loaded. Yeah, it's like you nudget and
I think flipped right out of the fridge.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
I was set up, put their blue cheese dressing on
the side, and the tomato, all the heavy stuff, and
then it just flipped right out of there.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:20):
So I'm blaming it on poor refrigerator placement.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
That's fair. Yeah. I would have just left it there.
I would just send them, send them message, just tear
the door off the fridge. The person comes back, just sayings,
you think you angrily flung their salad just on the
floor of the.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Crew, We'll just start throwing everybody else's stuff on the floor.
I guess, go for broke at that point.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Write a note that says you took my parking spot
and put it on the salad.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
Well, there you go.

Speaker 4 (14:48):
They would have no idea.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
What was going on?

Speaker 4 (14:51):
Okay, it's time, Nick, Are you ready to pull the
lever that reveals Chris's spooktober choice here? It is all right,
pull it. I'm just getting the delicate one this week
because nice, you know, it goes. It feels good, all right, Chris,
gip's the number one ninety nine up near the top here.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Ninety nine? Holy shit balls? Yeah? Was there a pope
back then? Finely? Absolutely? Oh got it? One ninety nine.

Speaker 4 (15:26):
Okay, I found what it is.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
I'm not even looking, not looking.

Speaker 1 (15:31):
Well. The good news is I've got to hit, so
i'll maybe more spop up.

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Up.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
It is all right.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Finally I got straight up hit for Pope stuff as
his customary, Nick.

Speaker 5 (16:08):
Boy, and he guesses, I'm oh for everything.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
There are two possibilities here, Okay, you're one man.

Speaker 5 (16:18):
That's early. I'm gonna go. I don't know if they
had popes of this name this early on, but I'm
gonna throw innocent out there and incorrect.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Pope Zephyranas Well that was Zephyr with I n us
at the end. Pope's Zephyrus. Have you heard of that name? Yeah? No,
I can't say that I had hope Zephyrus succeeds Pope
Victor the first has the fifteenth Pope.

Speaker 4 (16:56):
There we go, Okay, right, yeah, hope Aaronitis.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Fifteenth Pope. Huh, that shit's been in effect for a
long time.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Yeah, all right, okay, are you ready to find out?

Speaker 1 (17:22):
I am a good good job on the poker face?
I have no read on this whatsoever.

Speaker 4 (17:27):
No, nope, all right, Well, let's turn the microphone over
to Chris Jericho. Hell, this one's called are You Mine?
Off of a m by the band Arctic Monkeys.

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Oh okay, okay, there's been talk about these guys never.
I can't think that I've ever heard a note from
this band.

Speaker 5 (17:58):
So I've heard a little and it's due to one man,
and I'm guessing he's the one who submitted this, but
I could be wrong.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
You're wrong, Okay, who was the one that?

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Say?

Speaker 2 (18:09):
It?

Speaker 5 (18:09):
Was Colin?

Speaker 4 (18:10):
So I see a couple Colin submissions. I see a
lot of Mike Caruso submissions for Arctic Monkeys. Those are
the two guys who have submitted Arctic Monkey's songs.

Speaker 5 (18:20):
So this is a This is.

Speaker 4 (18:22):
A Mic Caruso and he says absolutely love this band.
I think you guys will at least appreciate them. I
would absolutely encourage seeking out their catalog.

Speaker 5 (18:34):
Okay, I let's see, I'm looking. I don't know. This
is the cover art. I think it is. It's pretty
cool actually, so I'll give that. It's like, uh, got
some sine waves, some sound waves. But it looks like
like sunglasses.

Speaker 1 (18:51):
I was thinking it looked like a strapless bikini time.

Speaker 5 (18:55):
Could be that too, a bra some nature or of
those little glasses that you put on when you go tanning, and.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
I know about those?

Speaker 5 (19:03):
What those are?

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Smith? Getting that? Getting that?

Speaker 2 (19:09):
Ba?

Speaker 5 (19:10):
So Are You Mine? Looks like it was a single.
I'm trying to see if it was the lead No,
it was not the Oh yeah, it looks like it
was the lead single off this one.

Speaker 4 (19:22):
Was it released?

Speaker 5 (19:25):
Uh in February twenty twelve, so and the the album
didn't come out until September twenty thirteen. Oh wow, So
are You Mine?

Speaker 2 (19:35):
Was?

Speaker 5 (19:36):
I guess did they just put it out as a
single for a while first and then.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
And we have suck it and see as the name
of another album there is.

Speaker 4 (19:44):
I kind of like that and it's not bad. I
remember these guys, man, what would it have been. It's
probably one of the first things that they put out
video on MTV, but I'm not sure what it would
have been. And that's all I know by them, just
probably mid two thousand, remember thinking, okay, it's a weird name.
That was my only thought.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Really mid two thousands. When do they get started.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Let's see, first album was two thousand and six, so
maybe it was in two thousand and seven and six.

Speaker 5 (20:15):
There's these guys are like twenty Yeah, they were young guys.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Huh yeah, British guys.

Speaker 5 (20:20):
I mean yeah, uh, looks like uh everything written by
Alex Turner lead guitar, lead vocal.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Okay, lead guitar, lead vocal. Yeah, and this is a
four piece band.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yep, you know that's what it looks like.

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Looks pretty uh, you know, basic four piece rock and
roll configuration.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
So kind of similar to the Darkness with the lead
guitarist being the lead vocalist. So Y and T had
that set up right. Not often you get the lead player.

Speaker 5 (21:04):
I think I think Airborne is like that too.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Yeah. I think you're right.

Speaker 5 (21:09):
Oh really, I think he usually takes the leads.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Yeah, these guys have brothers too.

Speaker 5 (21:16):
That's a good question.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
No, no, brothers.

Speaker 5 (21:20):
Well, all right, most creative ventures are better that way.
But yeah, we'll still give him a little bit of slack.
So yeah, I it's about all I all I got.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
So you haven't heard this one.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
I doubt it, don't you know?

Speaker 4 (21:38):
You don't know for sure.

Speaker 5 (21:38):
I think I think even or twelve years ago, I
was well out of the game as far as paying
attention to what was happening.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Me too.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
I just thought maybe this is one that Colin sent you,
But know no.

Speaker 5 (21:50):
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
So. Okay, Yeah, there's been a lot of talk about
these guys amongst our listeners, and yeah, I mean I
don't expect this to be a complete disaster, so that's
that's a good thing. I think. I think we're two
for two. Well I don't. I don't speak too soon,
but so far, it's looking like we're two for two

(22:14):
in spook to over in terms of avoiding complete garbage.
But we'll see. Who knows.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
What is this one hundred best Albums Apple Music?

Speaker 1 (22:25):
Is that?

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Are they saying one hundred best albums Alternative that this
is one of them? Possibly?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Well, I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, these guys have
a lot of uh Okay, a lot of how would
you say a clean it seems so well, I'm.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Up for it.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, well, you've got no choice, no choice?

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Yeah, features, Oh well, I don't know about this particular song,
but this album, I never get his name right. I
never pronounced it right. But Josh a me joh, he's
a He makes an appearance on the album. I don't
know about the song. And then one of my favorite
rock drummers is actually on this album, Pete Thomas from

(23:06):
Elvis Costello. Yeah, apparently he makes a guest appearance on
something or other. I don't know what.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
Yeah, the Attractions were a great band, absolutely, and I meltdown.
Pronounced it Josh Homie.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
I don't know if I've heard homie Homie. I like Homie.

Speaker 5 (23:29):
I'm going silent.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
H's going oh me?

Speaker 5 (23:35):
Uh, Cosmopolitan not my problem.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
I don't like people with messed up names.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's hard, and if you have one, put it out
there pronounced to establish that it pronounce.

Speaker 4 (23:49):
Make it clear.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
I mean, you guys are last name Jones. There's no
real debate there.

Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yeah. One time a lady asked me to spell it
on the phone, and I politely.

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Just said, it's it's Jones Jones.

Speaker 5 (24:03):
The way that you're Yeah, like I politely refused to
spell it for her.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Yeah, well, one time I ordered this way back from
Larry's Pizza back in the day, I ordered a pizza
for Jones, picked it up, it said j O a
n apostrophe s It's.

Speaker 5 (24:20):
Like, okay, it belongs to Joan.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know this is Jones Pizza. All right, you guys
ready to do it?

Speaker 5 (24:29):
Yeah, let's go.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll be right back
with Are you mine.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'm gonna out of the morning.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Here is off the hook, already off going on here.

Speaker 5 (24:56):
The chain, if you will. I mean, it's definitely got
that noise rock I guess that's the term. I don't know,
but like your strokeslers.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Kind of thought they're really noise rock host, I have
no idea. Yeah they're not.

Speaker 5 (25:15):
I don't know what the term is, but it's just it's.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Rock and roll for the modern day. I mean, I
guess if it makes sense that Josh Homie would be
on this because it's I'm getting some queens this stone
age vibes from the fuzzed out bass guitar and just
the off kilter nature of.

Speaker 4 (25:33):
It and that vocal effect though, sounds like whatever they
used on the Strokes voice.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Yeah, delivery, Yeah yeah, I kind of like I just.

Speaker 4 (25:45):
That distorted yeah yeah, like they're singing through uh like
guitar pickup.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Not quite that extreme megaphone Wiland used to do. Yeah, yeah,
we did. We tried to get something like that on
song and we recorded back in the day and it
turned out to be an EQ thing. The engineer just
did some radical stuff with the sliders and got like
that AM radio sound to it. So that's another way

(26:13):
you can achieve it if you don't want to go
actual megaphone.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
With it, if you don't want to go to radio
check equipment.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
There was, and be sure not to move the megaphone
an inch because it'll won't work the next time you.

Speaker 5 (26:26):
Pick it up.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
Yea, fuck man, what are you gonna say?

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (26:30):
I always assumed there was some clipping involved.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
But like intentional Yeah, I know that there.

Speaker 5 (26:36):
That does get you sometimes, but I don't know in
this case, probably not.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
This.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
It sounds fuzzy, but it sounds clean at the same time.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Yeah, let's keep going radio.

Speaker 6 (26:52):
In my mind when he's on.

Speaker 5 (27:12):
I have no idea why, but I'm getting like there
were a few parts of the vocal that reminded me
of Amy Weinhaus, not necessarily like, oh, it sounds just
like her, but sort of similar effect on I think
it was like word of her first album. It kind
of had a little bit of this sound to her voice,

(27:33):
this effect and just the way that he's singing a
couple of the lines here. For some reason, she popped
into my head.

Speaker 4 (27:42):
Well, Colin, cover your ears for a second. From the
same area. They all sound the same, sounds like Oasis.
I can't tell the difference.

Speaker 5 (27:50):
There, you have it, you.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
Can come back, Colin. All Right.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
A lot of lyrics here. He's really rattling him off.
I'm a puppet on a string. I don't know what
it's Tracy Island. I was thinking that must be somewhere,
I don't know, time traveling, diamond cutter shaped heartaches.

Speaker 5 (28:08):
Yeah, it's it's word salad. It's just way too much
to even try to follow.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Yeah, that come to find you for in some velvet morning.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I don't know what's going on. Yeah, there's a lot
spilling it out here. Yeah, the quintessential word salad is
the phrase for it.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Yeah, he's just trying to see if anything will stick.
Desperately trying to appeal to.

Speaker 1 (28:36):
This in every word out there, talking is way out
of a sale. As we've talked about.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Before, showing off his vocabulary.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
All I want to hear is her say, as are
you minde? Well I might be if you just shut
your yap a little bit, right, Jesus, talking for the
sake of talking, for the sake of hearing your own voice.
Just kind of what we do this podcasters, you know.

Speaker 4 (29:05):
Yeah, all right, So I want to hear her.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Wait. All I want to hear her say is are
you mine?

Speaker 4 (29:11):
So there you go.

Speaker 5 (29:12):
So he wants her to ask the question, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
interesting kind of games?

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Is this guy playing with this woman? I don't know
that going to end well for him. This guy's a
gas lighter, can tell fucking playing mind games at this person.

Speaker 4 (29:32):
He is, let's find out what happens. And it's chorus.

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Okay if you have to ask more than once and
the answer is it coming? You wait hers and she
ain't yours? So yeah, yeah, you might want to move
on after this. Stop spewing it puking out notes the
equivalent of Mark Saint John's guitar playing with your discordse

(30:16):
and just move on to another woman because it's not
worth the effort.

Speaker 5 (30:20):
I don't think, yeah, I'm getting again, this isn't and
this isn't a band that I'm hugely versed on either,
but I'm getting some big White Stripes vibes from the chorus.

Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah. I think with once Say It came on the scene,
they kind of changed the whole landscape sonically and you know,
the whole.

Speaker 5 (30:40):
Approach well and just it's a to me, to my ears,
it sounds like a similar type riff that you would
hear the chorus riff, at least you would hear that
and something along the lines of a White Stripes sports anthem.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
It says twenty twelve they spent some time doing an
arena tour with the Black Yeah them. I hear them
and they're too okay.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, And to be honest, none of that style of
music really appeals to me. First of all, I'm not
I'm not a fuzz tone guy. It's a little too
flubby sounding for me, for lack of a better word,
There's there's no tightness in the low end. It's just
kind of like it's sonically it's a mess for me.
I don't enjoy listening to it, and also just not

(31:32):
so much this. This is a little little more like
sounds like everybody in the band can actually play, and
but like Black Keys, White Stripes, I know they can play,
but it those bands always struck me like they can play,
but they're slumming it technically to achieve a goal in

(31:53):
terms of the style of music. It just doesn't work
for me. I'm not a fan of that. Don't they
say that about Rivers Cuomo, that he's actually an accomplished shredder,
but he just scales it all the way back to
the rudimentary, most rudimentary guitar playing he can pull off. Yeah,

(32:15):
I saw it, because that's what Weezer is supposed to be.

Speaker 5 (32:18):
I saw a clip where he was talking about how
when he was younger he loved Ingvey Momstein and he
had his guitar with him while he was doing this
interview or whatever, and he played like it wasn't like
it was a Ingvey esque type. It was from an
Ingveay song. Impressive though, Like it's not like he played
a full solo or something like that, but yeah, he did.

(32:42):
He did peel it off and it was like whoa, Okay.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
Yeah, I don't really follow Weezer too much, but I
think the album they put out a couple of years
ago was supposed to be like arena rock, flying vegue
guitar solo stuff, but I don't I never listened to it, yeah,
but that's how it was promoted, like.

Speaker 5 (33:00):
Weezer and a lot of bands in this style that
we mentioned.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Uh, I get it.

Speaker 5 (33:08):
I think it's really cool the sound that they have,
but for some reason, it's not something that I that
I ever really latched onto and really got heavily into.
But that being said, I would never say that. I
would never say anything derogatory about this style of music
and production or anything like that. It's it's it's very cool.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
It's just for whatever reason, it became the sound of
the decade and it's continuing on. I just I don't
particularly care for it.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
Yeah. I like that Blue Weezer album, the one that
was like the big first one. Yeah, But I never
I never, I never like really listened to anything else
other than stuff you'd hear on the radio for a while,
like the Beverly Hills song. Oh I didn't like that
I'll scorch oftful that might have been Okay, I'm trying

(34:04):
to remember. Was that on the next one after that
was the second album.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Yeah, the follow up.

Speaker 1 (34:08):
Wasn't It wasn't that pink, And it was like it
turned a lot of listeners off because it was like,
I don't know what the reason was, but I know
that's a it's a polarizing album in the Weezer camp.

Speaker 4 (34:22):
Maybe one time I heard someone say that, uh, every
time a Weezer album comes out, it's Weezer fans least
favorite album. And then like ten years later they're like,
I liked that one, and then a new one comes
out or whatever, and they're like, well, this one sucks,
but that one was all and it just they just
catch up eventually.

Speaker 5 (34:39):
That's a really cool gimmick to have.

Speaker 1 (34:42):
Yeah, you know, who the hell is? All I know
is Beverly Hills. It's horrible. Island in the Sun is horrible.

Speaker 4 (34:52):
That's that's right.

Speaker 1 (34:53):
That was one. When he does that hip hip, I'm like,
oh my god, I want to fucking punch this guy
for doing that.

Speaker 4 (35:01):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
That's another one of those situations where if you're the producer,
which maybe they produced the album theirself, he does that
once in the vocal booth, you stop the session. See,
you don't ever do that again. I'm not I'm not
going to be involved in a recording where somebody does that,
where someone does hip hip you know, you're gonna have
to find somebody else or stop doing it. It's one

(35:24):
of the worst things ever done on a rock music recording.

Speaker 4 (35:29):
Awful, Jackie says. The Weezer album. I'm talking about the
rock and roll one. It's called Van Weezer M twenty
twenty one.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
So there you go through interesting interested. I would like
to punch that up one of these days.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Yep, yeah I didn't. They had a logo at times
which was resembling the Van Hale and logo with the wings. Yeah,
so yeah, I got some Uh I can respect that,
but yeah, they've had some off the chart awesome stuff

(36:05):
and some of the worst music ever released to my ears,
So yeah, they're like all over the complete spectrum for me.
But yeah, in general, I'm just yeah, this is this
was past me so to speak, in terms of like music,

(36:26):
I was gonna like, yeah, and the thing the band
from this era that's still going. That's one of my
all time favorites. Rival Sons. One of the thing I
like least about that band is the guitar playing, because
he's a fuzz tone guy, and I'm just I don't
like the fuzz tone. I'd rather just have a straight

(36:48):
overdriver distortion. It's got a tighter bottom end to it.
Fuzz is just too too, too flubby for me.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
I guess what I'm trying to say. I need the
deep end.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Keep imagining meets and wish to away entire lot of
times until we're not someone I'm mispeaking. Hey in stays
great Escape Blast, second Time and Space, and she's a silver.

Speaker 1 (37:21):
Lining Time and mine.

Speaker 6 (37:23):
He's aurund God places, He's a howl of the inside,
he is fahine.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
It feels like a dis remembery.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
The hun myself, wh what ever?

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Says? Are you.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
Well? Are you min?

Speaker 5 (37:48):
Why are you.

Speaker 4 (37:51):
Listening to that verse?

Speaker 1 (37:52):
And that whole other.

Speaker 4 (37:54):
I don't know if that was a pre chorus or whatever,
but that seemed like it'd be a little bit of
a pain in the ass to play that one. You're
singing lead like you're doing vocals.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Like it's true.

Speaker 4 (38:05):
It's not you know, it's not following exactly. And I
know these guys who are pros can do that, but
that just you know, that's patting your head and rubbing
your tummy.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
You know that.

Speaker 5 (38:17):
It seems like I don't know this, but I'm guessing
that in a live setting there's so much going on
vocally or at least lyrically. It's just so they're so
uh packed full of lyrics that I'm sure there's a

(38:41):
in a way, there's probably a lot of a lot
of room for doing it whenever, you know, like seeing
this line, however fast or slow you fit it in. Yeah,
basically almost like I get the impression it could be
kind of like a mega death sort of a where
you get the feeling that the lead vocalist is making

(39:06):
sure the guitar part is he's nailing that, Yeah, and
the vocals second kind of can be they can kind
of they don't have to be like the record. They
could kind of be put in there whenever the vocalist
gets to it. Again, I'm just speculating, but it seems
like that kind of song where you could just you
want to make sure the guitar part's right. But unless

(39:30):
you have some diehard fans who are going to be
upset that he's not saying everything in the exact place
that he's saying it. I have a feeling there's some
there's a little bit of room.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
They're all blasted on Molly A fuck, what are you
singing anything? And chances are in the studio he just
did the vocals. Oh yeah, and then you worry about
performing live later. But yeah, on stage, the whole crowd
is whacked out on hallucige and say, I don't give

(40:00):
a fuck what's going on up there.

Speaker 4 (40:02):
That's nice for the performance it is.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
You know that that works to their advantage for sure. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:08):
I remember trying to do this kind of thing when
Nick and I had our band before Flying Errands, and
I played bass, where if I was singing something and
playing like a nody thing at the same time, it
was like such a pain in the ass where you'd
have to go like half speed and do it a
million times until it becomes like muscle memory, and then

(40:30):
and then you go from there and try to work
even little I wasn't like a good singer, just getting
like the rhythm of your vocal in with while you're
still playing with incorrectly. It was difficult because you know,
it wasn't exactly matching what you're doing.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Yeah, no, I've never been able to do that. Even
barking out a backing vocal was tough for me while
also playing guitar.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
It's like a sting sort of a thing. I remember
reading an interview somewhere where he talked to about that,
how he would just he wouldn't be able to do well.
I don't I might be putting words in his mouth,
but I got I got the impression from reading it
that he did them both, like he had to be

(41:17):
doing both at the same time. That's how he learned it. Oh,
he couldn't just sing it, I like it would It
would have been awkward for him if he wasn't playing
bass and singing this song. Like I'm sure he had
done it, learned it whatever, But I remember it's something
to that effect being in an interview.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
He's a bullshitter.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Yeah, tric sex thing.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
You know.

Speaker 1 (41:38):
He also claims to have non stop sex for like
forty hours straight. It's like, yeah, that's not happening. You're alive.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
Money lives in a castle.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
It's a known liar.

Speaker 1 (41:49):
He's coming to the hard rock right down the street
here soon. Yeah, he's doing it. He's got a trio.
So that's I mean, they're getting some great shows over
there afforded they're so, I mean this weekend is deaf
Leopard I would love to see in that small venue.
By tickets are four hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (42:09):
I think it's ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (42:11):
You were a complaining about KFC or expensive It is
KFC multiple times. Yeah you really could. You could cater
deaf Leopards backstage with KFC for the price of one ticket.

Speaker 5 (42:25):
A lot of chicken for Phil Colin.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
Rub it all over his upper tour so to get
that glisse.

Speaker 4 (42:32):
Look, he pulls the skin off and rubs it on
his body, eats the rest. All right, let's keep going
heres ways.

Speaker 6 (43:02):
So he sounds mistaken, say cognantly, are your mind?

Speaker 1 (43:16):
And she's a.

Speaker 6 (43:22):
Silver lining loon ranger riding through an open space.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
In my mind when she's not right, that beside me
go crazy. Here is a wow.

Speaker 6 (43:35):
At just the faction feels like disamemmorate silver.

Speaker 1 (43:43):
Why, e says, are your mind?

Speaker 5 (43:47):
Pretty cool to just have the vocal for that part
of the verse. The effect it made it where even
though when the instruments came back in, the drums and
the bass and the guitar.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
It was pretty.

Speaker 5 (44:06):
Thunderous, but the effect on the vocal it didn't really
sound like everything it didn't have that sort of a
effect like everything dropped out and it's quiet now, Like
it still sounded like bombastic, I guess would be the word.

Speaker 1 (44:26):
Not the dynamics of the nineties, where would be like
full tiled and then oh whis quiet exactly? Yeah, different
type of dynamic feel there.

Speaker 5 (44:40):
Yeah, and it's cool. I mean, I like it when
bands do that, when an instrument will drop out on
the like the last verse. For usually it's like half
of a measure or a you know whatever, maybe a
measure a couple of lines at the most. But this
this was taking it a little further and pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (45:01):
All right, Well, we've only got a little bit more
to go here. Are you mine tomorrow or just mine tonight?

(45:37):
That's what the background vocals, those high background vocals.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
Will you still love me tomorrow?

Speaker 1 (45:45):
Interesting?

Speaker 5 (45:49):
How do you write a song like that? Yeah? That's
like someone mentioned, uh, I think Andy put the comment
up from the live live chat there stream of consciousness. Yeah,
that's got to be the way you do this, right, sure, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:06):
That's exactly what it is. It's just there's a lot
of consciousness he's streaming out there. He's packing a syllable
into every possible slot there.

Speaker 4 (46:18):
So all right, well, Chris, you pulled this song from
the Random Song Generator by way of Mike Caruso Sweet
surrender of kicking the crotch.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I can't really kick it, so I'm gonna give it
a sweet surrender.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
It got better as it went along, and like the
hearing the chorus the second and third time, it started
to latch on a little bit. You know. First time through,
I didn't really didn't really grab me, but it got
better as the song went along, and and you know,
I can totally underst stand how people get into this

(47:02):
and enjoy it. It's just not really in my wheelhouse.
But I can't, in good conscious conscience kick it because
there's obviously some quality there. You know, people are wild
about this band, and that counts for something, counts for

(47:25):
a lot, actually, But so for that reason I could.
I'm not gonna be that guy and kick it just
because it's not something that's you know, instantly a hit
with me. But you know, you can you can tell
the qualities there.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
Nick, I'll give it a sweet surrender as well.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Hell yeah, I liked it.

Speaker 5 (47:58):
It's still it's just not my style of music that
I listen to very often. But I will say I
can for as well produced and there's a rawness. It's
well produced, but yet there's a raw quality to it,
very big and raucous and all that stuff. For as

(48:21):
well as it sounds like they captured that sort of
a spirit, I guess would be the right way to
say it. I have a feeling that in a live
setting that it's it's an experience. I have a feeling, yeah,
It just it seems like something that like, this is

(48:42):
a song that you don't have to know going into it,
and probably it's an experience just to be in the crowd,
to be hot and sweaty, and to hear this song
with all those people in attendance. It just sounds like
it's really well tailored for that type of experience.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I mean, they've certainly played Lallapalooza, right, I'm sure. I
don't know.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
Colin told me. I think it was when they were
fairly young. Still they headlined was it Glastonbury or something
like that, like a big, big show over there.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
This just strikes me as you know, this style of
music is like, this is the lalapalooza sound, or what
I imagine it to be, which is again among the
many reasons why I simply don't go. Yeah, you know,
going down the list too expensive. I need a fucking seat.
All they says, I'm ninety years old compared to anybody

(49:44):
else there. They don't need me there. I don't need
to be there, So that's that. But just this strikes
me as the lala sound for lack of.

Speaker 4 (49:54):
Okay, who oh man, my turn to vote under a
kick in the crotch from the heart andy kicking it.
If I was out at a bar or something already

(50:16):
a couple drinks in and it came on, i'd be
okay with it. But just sitting here listening to it,
it's not for me. I don't I don't even need
to hear this again. I didn't hate it. But if
there was a third option that was like a fine,
but I don't ever want to hear it again, I
would pick that.

Speaker 1 (50:36):
But if it's just it's kind of where I was
at that that not was it's that's exactly where I'm
I'm at with it. Yeah, I just I didn't kick
it because I can recognize the quality and the appeal
of it. It's just it's not appealing to me personally.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
And another reason why I didn't kick it a feeling
you would and falling that sorde for me. Yeah. And also.

Speaker 4 (51:05):
I didn't want to build suspense to take it to
the next round when it wasn't gonna you know, there's
no way it wasn't.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
No, I would, I would have just I would have
said no boner immediately if it if once you kicked
on the Peter Chris drums. But yeah, you know I've
heard now, I've heard it, can say I've heard Arctic Monkeys,
and I don't really need to hear it again. Yeah,
it's kind of where I'm at with it.

Speaker 5 (51:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (51:30):
It's like that, I don't know if like Kings of Leon,
I don't know if it's exactly the same thing, but
it's like you hear the radio hit. It's like, Okay,
I get why people like it, and I can sense
that you know, this is a top level band, but
I don't really need to hear it ever again.

Speaker 4 (51:51):
Yeah, not for me? All right, Well, if you disagree
with us, we sorry.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
It is I don't know what to tell you. Deal
with it.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
You know what else you're gonna deal with? New segment?

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Oh good, Yeah, I almost forgot about this. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:13):
Last week Nick introduced a brand new segment for this
month of October, Hit the Music, the.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
Jokes Come out.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
Nick's got some Halloween jokes for us.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
So before you get into it, I was thinking about
this today. My my, I've talked about him on the
show before. My friend in college, Ricardo, who is the
guy who interested introduced me to Living Caller. Before we
would go out prowling around the parties or stuff, he

(52:51):
would sing, the freaks come out at night, but instead
of freaks, he would say frecks. And I it was
just some sort of like different drawl to put on
that word, and that was like his spin on it.
But just like I was singing that all day today,

(53:12):
the frecks come out and the frecks come out at night.
And every time we would go out in search of frecks,
he would sing that.

Speaker 4 (53:22):
Was that the natural way he would say it or
was he just being funny?

Speaker 3 (53:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (53:25):
I think you a little bit of both. I think
it was like a like a like a like an
urban way of a twist on a word like, like,
the only comparison I can think of off the top
of my head is Nelly the way he pronounced here, yeah,
and hot in her or like Tyler Perry or something

(53:45):
like that. Just intentionally mispronouncing a word to make it
your own. It's had to be in it. I never
I never quizzed him on it. I just thought, Okay,
I like this. The fricks come out at night. It
was just became fres That was it. That's good question it?
So I like that. Yeah, No, we all liked it.

(54:06):
It was like our our rallying music to go out
and try and round up some female companionship in college.
So anyway, yeah, and I don't think i'd heard that
song since since college until last week when the theme

(54:28):
song came out and it just just jogged all these memories.

Speaker 5 (54:33):
Well I've got two more, all right, Nick, let's hear
them all right? Here goes nothing. What is a bossy
vampire's favorite beverage?

Speaker 1 (54:46):
Bossy vampire? See this is where you need the theme song.
No vocals going kind of like the hope stuff.

Speaker 5 (54:59):
See if I and maybe make that happen, but for
next week.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Awkward silence. Figure out these jokes.

Speaker 5 (55:06):
What is a bossy vampire's favorite beverage.

Speaker 1 (55:09):
I got no clue.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Type a blood, type of personality. Okay, there you go,
you got us. All right, how about one more? I
thought you thought that one was something?

Speaker 6 (55:27):
Ah?

Speaker 5 (55:29):
Why was the ghost groaning as he left the gym?
Why was the ghost groaning as he left the gym?

Speaker 4 (55:41):
You had to take a sheet?

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Nope, it's good. I don't got it.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
He tore his spectoral muscle.

Speaker 4 (55:53):
I don't get It's like a specter. Oh.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
I know it's not the greatest.

Speaker 1 (55:59):
It's good.

Speaker 5 (56:00):
But the jokes came out at night, the jokes.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
The.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Jokes.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Yeah, I just pull the vocal loop it.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
I'll see what I can do for next week.

Speaker 4 (56:16):
All right, why don't we take a quick commercial break.
We'll be right back with a yard.

Speaker 7 (56:22):
Oh questions, dear John's of questions, Yes, Chief.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
That Yeah, that's spectoral one. Well I told it.

Speaker 1 (56:52):
I tested it out.

Speaker 5 (56:54):
I'm my wife, and she was like, I get it,
but I don't know if anybody else want fifty Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:01):
We got it. Who's the original artist on the Freaks?
Come out at n oh? Right right, right, right, right,
right right?

Speaker 4 (57:11):
We did that song at your place?

Speaker 5 (57:14):
Yeah, we did really. Yeah, we did a Halloween medley
in it included that one.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
Back in the day, I remember that thriller Werewolves of.

Speaker 5 (57:24):
London Freaks comes come out, and I thought there was
something or spooky I think was in there.

Speaker 1 (57:32):
I think that was part of it. I don't really either.
Soft rock song.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Yeah in the cool of the Yeah, yeah, that was
in there too. Nice chords in that one.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
Yeah, did anyone else know how to play it?

Speaker 1 (57:49):
But you Atlanta rhythm section.

Speaker 5 (57:52):
That was one of the Yeah, that was probably the
biggest version of them. Yeah, there's a nice Chris Montes
version for name Chris. Who is a fan of Chris Montes.

Speaker 1 (58:04):
I didn't know he did that. Yeah, that was he
was in the fifties, right or was it?

Speaker 5 (58:09):
Yeah, he was I think early sixties. I think he
toured with the Beatles on like their first US tour
or something like that. So yeah, I didn't know he
did over agin after little bit, He's got some his
Boston Nova type stuff.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
Is really you should delve deeper into Montez. He's he's great.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
I'm a fan.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
He's uh, you know, he's the uh the Rolling Stones
to uh. Richie Vallen's basically.

Speaker 5 (58:37):
Or Chan Romero would be in there too.

Speaker 4 (58:39):
Yeah, yeah, all right, we got two yards of question
sent in today. I think we should choose one of
these two. I'm not going to read them before we
choose which one I'm gonna go with. Okay, I'm going
to tell you the two names of these people, and
you guys tell me which one we want. All right,

(59:00):
Halloween Hank Thompson, Shane, the real deal, O'Neill. Was it Halloween, Hank, Yeah,
that's the winner.

Speaker 1 (59:08):
Did they add those or did you add those they
submitted with a nickname?

Speaker 4 (59:13):
Yes, Halloween Hank Thompson.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
I'm voting for Halloween, Hank.

Speaker 4 (59:17):
Yeah, I'm gonna vote, all right, Shane will get you
next week, Halloween, Hank.

Speaker 5 (59:23):
That's a great moniker.

Speaker 4 (59:25):
All right, Halloween Hank Thompson, Shane, don't worry, we got you,
got it dog eared for next week, no matter what
comes in. Okay, Halloween, Hank says Bewitched Boners. I have
to say I'm digging the Newspotober random song choice format.

Speaker 5 (59:46):
So far, so good.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
We have we've so far avoided a complete dog shit.

Speaker 4 (59:54):
That'll be next week, I hope. So I'm kind of yeah,
I don't want to say disappointed, but I was hoping
for something out ready.

Speaker 5 (01:00:00):
Dollars to donuts.

Speaker 1 (01:00:02):
Yeah, there's a lot of on the list. It's not
sugar coated. Our listeners listening musical tastes are garbage.

Speaker 4 (01:00:12):
So it's not getting me as horny as February or September.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
But you know you're it's not what it's supposed to do.

Speaker 4 (01:00:22):
You know your old buddy Hank stays ready for takeoff
in the upright and locked position, Halloween Hank, especially when
I get my questions red on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:00:32):
Here you have, especially when the frecks come out at night.
Gotta be ready exactly. I question one.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
I don't think anyone has ever asked, what.

Speaker 1 (01:00:42):
Is your favorite color?

Speaker 5 (01:00:49):
I'm a like I like my oranges and browns, my
fall colors, I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
So I go with earth tones.

Speaker 5 (01:00:58):
Yeah, earth tones, I guess. If I had to pick
one specifically, I go orange.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
That's a good choice. Back in the day, I would
say it was green because at my bedroom was painted green,
not like a bright like more of an earth tone green.
And then I went to a college where green was

(01:01:25):
one of the two primary colors. So I'll say green.

Speaker 5 (01:01:30):
There you go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:31):
Green's good. Green's here's the thing, like we've been asked before,
like a what's a a deal breaker when it comes
to buying owning a guitar? Greens and blues are out
for me. Not a fan of those colors on guitars.

Speaker 4 (01:01:50):
I like greens, not only blues.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
Yeah, I would not choose a guitar and either those colors,
all right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:02):
Question two, if today's song was a kiss track, who
would sing lead? Who would sing? Are you mine? Peter?

Speaker 5 (01:02:15):
I'd say Peter, and then and then it would have
been capably handled by Eric afterwards, both Eric both Eric's Yeah,
so it's a it's a drummer lead vocal.

Speaker 1 (01:02:28):
I'm gonna say Paul, simply because I can hear it
being like a sister song that is that you Yeah,
just asking the question. And it would also be something
that would be apropos for his Soul seventy eight solo album,
because that's song has got a or that album's got
a few songs on there that where he's like questioning

(01:02:52):
his his position and relationships, you know, some vulnerability, right exactly.

Speaker 5 (01:02:58):
Lyrically, I would agree Paul, but I'd say hearing it,
I'd have to say Peter, No, it's got a bit
of a motown ye kind of riding.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
Now you're right about that. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:03:13):
Question three, what are your feelings about Bad Bunny performing
at the super Bowl. He is a huge global star
and I am a fan. But with the game in
San Francisco and them coming off a huge stadium tour,
wouldn't Metallica have made more sense? Halloween Hank Thompson.

Speaker 5 (01:03:36):
So this was on our Patreon call last week, and I'll.

Speaker 4 (01:03:43):
Just repeat what I said because you can't say that
on the show.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Yes, we don't use watching me. This is a race kissed.

Speaker 5 (01:03:53):
What I said was people were talking about it, and
I honestly, hundred percent I know. And it's funny because
Halloween Hanks said, what the phrase global superstar? Yes, truth
is I didn't know if it was a guy or
a girl. I was like, I was like, Bad Bunny
sounds like a girl, and it's like, no, it's a guy.

Speaker 1 (01:04:16):
Oh that's how out of touch I am. The scenario
that I like to I like to.

Speaker 5 (01:04:21):
Hypothetically go to, is this guy's a global superstar. If
I ended up with an in an elevator with him,
just the two of us, he'd probably be a little
bit on edge. Is this guy gonna ask me for
something and I would have no clue who he is. Meanwhile,
I'm completely clueless. I'm not, you know, completely oblivious, no idea.

(01:04:47):
So I have no idea. But so I can't say
whether or not I think he's gonna be good or
not or he's I mean, super Bowl halftime show is
just kind of it's just an attention grab, right, Like
you want someone who's going to be slightly outrageous.

Speaker 1 (01:05:04):
Well, you also want somebody who's going to draw in
a different audience. People are into Metallica are already watching
the game, right, so you don't need to have a
halftime show that appeals to them because you've already got them.
So you've got to bring in. The trend for the
probably close to the last decade has been to have

(01:05:30):
an act that has more crossover appeal to people who
normally aren't football fans and would could care less about
the Superman. It's the whole thing they're trying to do
is expand the viewership. So yes, it makes sense to
have Metallica play at San Francisco.

Speaker 5 (01:05:51):
But.

Speaker 1 (01:05:53):
Metallica people are already watching it.

Speaker 5 (01:05:56):
That's neat to see it again.

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Yep.

Speaker 4 (01:05:59):
And also so now as we're heading towards twenty twenty six,
which is when the Super Bowl will be, how easy
is it to just put on your favorite concert for
a half hour, Like you could just press a couple
buttons and watch whatever the hell you want for the
halftime show.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Go, you know, eliminate those nachos you had in the
first quarter, or go to the bathroom or do something.

Speaker 4 (01:06:28):
Yeah, you know, but it's not like it's impossible to
see Metallica if you want to, if if that's your thing,
when the commer, when the whatever the the buzzer goes off,
the whistle's blown at the end of the second quarter,
fire up some Metallica live pro shot concert.

Speaker 5 (01:06:45):
On YouTube from eighty one with Misstaine.

Speaker 1 (01:06:47):
There you go, show yourself.

Speaker 4 (01:06:49):
Watch that and then when you're you know however long
you know how much time they have, then go back
to the game.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
You'll be fine. There you go, solved it for you.

Speaker 5 (01:06:57):
It's perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:06:57):
If somebody mentioned it, and it's you know, it's it's
on par with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees.
It's the same gnashing of teeth every year about both shows.
Things here's here's the here's the thing. White men who
are football fans. This complaining about the Super Bowl halftime

(01:07:22):
show not appealing to you is like tuning in too
be et and being like, there's no shows on here
aimed at me. Why is that? Because it's not for you,
even though it's sandwiched in between something that is for you.
That's not what they're trying to do with this halftime show.

Speaker 5 (01:07:42):
And quite frankly, somebody with the name Bad Buddy makes
more sense that he'd be playing the Puppy Bowl halftime show.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
I mean, I I don't think I've heard a note
of his music. I've seen him a couple of times
on SNL where he's been host. He's like like this
the he's in premiere last week. He didn't even they
had a separate musical gain. He was just the post
and he was in a bunch of skits, which, by
the way, did you see that?

Speaker 4 (01:08:09):
I saw just the Demon Hunters thing.

Speaker 1 (01:08:14):
Okay? I tapped out halfway through last year. I was like,
it's finally happened. I've reached the point where none of
this appeals to me. I decided to give it another chance.
It was fucking terrible, well really not funny at all.
I thought you were gonna say it was great that.
I thought you were going to absolutely not. You know,

(01:08:35):
I was hoping it would be. But it's just like,
I don't know if the if younger generations actually think
that comedy is funny, but it's just not funny, you know,
it's not well written. I don't get the impression that
younger generations even watched it.

Speaker 4 (01:08:53):
That's the weird thing. I don't know who it's even targeted.

Speaker 1 (01:08:56):
To any Yeah, you got a good point there.

Speaker 4 (01:09:00):
I'm sure people still watch it, but I don't know
if the target audience. I think it's being watched because
it's an institution more than it's can't miss TV.

Speaker 1 (01:09:11):
Yeah, most likely, what do I know? But yeah, it's
just you know, uh, it's uh funny is funny, and
it's just it's it's it's it's just not well written
from what I can ascertain. But could that could also
just be the old guy. I mean that this kind

(01:09:31):
of comedy it just isn't doesn't hit with me, and
it's not supposed to do. I'm not in the desirable
demographic anymore of anything. I mean, I'm fine with that,
but I decided to give another shot. It was fucking terrible.

Speaker 4 (01:09:46):
Well you know, yeah, did you see I don't know
what the sequence of sketches was on the show. The
only one I saw was when they had that k
Pop Demon Hunters thing.

Speaker 1 (01:09:58):
Yeah, did you see that? I did?

Speaker 4 (01:09:59):
Yeah, So, like Jackie on the chat said, got to
get a hun Tricks song on the list. So I
don't know if you know anything about that, but people
love that stuff. My kids can't get enough of that.
The k pop it's it's a specific movie on Netflix
called k Pop Demon Hunters. It's like a animated thing
where these singers use their songs to kill demons or something.

(01:10:22):
I watched part of it with them, but they listened
to the songs all the time. The group is called
Hunter Tricks in the show.

Speaker 1 (01:10:28):
Well, isn't there like fucking eight of them in the group?
I think they all? They all came out. It was like,
how many people are in this group? I saw it.

Speaker 4 (01:10:35):
It's three, but they had back up dancers and stuff. Yeah,
it was a force.

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
At least seven of them on the on the set
of Hell Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's I'm it's over.
I feel the same way. You know, I admit I
accept that, and I'm fine with it. But at some
point funny is funny, Not funny is not funny. Not

(01:11:04):
well written is not well written? Where do where is
there the disconnect? I mean is it can't just be
an age thing. Good is good and shit is shit.

Speaker 4 (01:11:14):
Yeah, I mean that's what I think. And what again,
I'm not in the demographic at all anymore. But when
I was watching that, and I've seen some stuff in
the last few years, I'm like, man, these people must
have just like had the right agents, Like there's they're
super lucky. It's not like, oh, this is the funniest
person who's lighting it up on the comedy clubs and

(01:11:36):
there's a bidding war, you know, like people all want
to get this person, you know, and and you know,
to make money on this.

Speaker 5 (01:11:44):
I wonder what the what is the strategy?

Speaker 1 (01:11:46):
Right? And it's the classic you know, chicken or the
egg thing. It's like a case in point Pete Davidson, Yeah,
you're telling me this guy was identified as a as
a major talent before they put him on SNL versus. Okay,

(01:12:07):
I've decided being I being Lorne Michaels or whoever makes
these decisions, I'm gonna this. I'm choosing this guy, and
I'm gonna force him down the public's throat to the
point where people think he's awesome, yeah, versus seeing a
seeing him and being like, this guy is undisputedly awesome.

(01:12:28):
We're gonna put him on our show and everybody's gonna
recognize him. Yeah, he's He's the the epitome of a
manufactured star to me, And I admit some of this,
some of the stuff makes me chuckle. But this, this
is a guy that somebody's plucked out of obscurity because

(01:12:49):
he just has this otherworldly to right see it.

Speaker 4 (01:12:52):
And this is gonna make me sound like such an
old fart.

Speaker 5 (01:12:54):
But like.

Speaker 4 (01:12:56):
None of the people on there seem to have like
the force of like Chris Farley or Norman MacDonald where
they're like where they have like an element of danger
or like you know, like there's something to them where
it can't be contained or something like it it shines
through whatever character they're playing. These guys just like I

(01:13:18):
don't know. To me, they all just blend together the
very vanilla like.

Speaker 1 (01:13:23):
I don't And it wasn't long ago where you had
the likes of Bill Hayder, Yeah, Jason Sadeikis, Kristin McKinnon,
Kristin wigg These within like as recently as four or
five years ago, legitimate talent coming out of there and
rightfully carry out their careers at being like you know,

(01:13:47):
major Hollywood stars. I don't see it in anybody on
that show. Yeah, and that's a huge cast too, Yeah
it is. And that's the other thing that the whole
with the intros, the the passive aggressive and featuring and
there's like six people or be like, Okay, we're gonna

(01:14:08):
put you on the B list and make it clear
that you're on the B list and you're out.

Speaker 5 (01:14:13):
They've been doing that for a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:14:15):
Oh, I know, they've been doing it forever. But that's like,
you know, Lauren Michaels' power play every buckets, it's like,
are they in the cast or not? Don't give me this?
And featuring they're either on the show, but.

Speaker 5 (01:14:27):
It not they're not featured if they're in that group,
I'm afraid.

Speaker 1 (01:14:33):
And of course since Bad Bonnie was on, they had that.
The Latino guy in the cast was in like almost
every sketch. Not funny if he's not funny funny.

Speaker 4 (01:14:44):
All right, Well, thank you Halloween Hank Thompson for your
yard o questions. If you want to submit a yard
o questions, go to potop thunder dot com, click that widget,
send it over three questions. I mean be uh, we'll
read them the week after next because we've promised next

(01:15:05):
week too.

Speaker 1 (01:15:07):
Was it Sean Sean?

Speaker 4 (01:15:09):
Yeah, Sean the real deal O'Neill, Yeah, any real deal
O'Neill's need uh yeah, no, I like they deserve it.

Speaker 5 (01:15:16):
Yeah, yeah, Shack's original. Well, we'll get into that next week.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Anyone who's named O'Neill needs to go by the real
deal going forward.

Speaker 1 (01:15:28):
Yeah, it's like, if your name is Steve, expect to
be called Steve Rio at some point. Don't object to classic,
deal with it.

Speaker 4 (01:15:39):
Why are there are certain nicknames that just go with people?

Speaker 1 (01:15:43):
Yeah, I'm trying to think it's a.

Speaker 5 (01:15:45):
It's just an evolution of the of the language really fast.

Speaker 1 (01:15:48):
Eddie.

Speaker 4 (01:15:49):
Yeah, I don't know what's that. I heard it many times?

Speaker 5 (01:15:55):
Yeah, Andy Panderson. We got a friend who used to
call Andy that.

Speaker 4 (01:16:02):
I don't know if anyone else ever got.

Speaker 5 (01:16:05):
I think he just made it up on didn't catch
on he said it.

Speaker 1 (01:16:11):
All right, that's gonna do it for us here.

Speaker 4 (01:16:16):
Should we do it again?

Speaker 1 (01:16:18):
Yes, all right, we'll be back next week.

Speaker 4 (01:16:22):
There's more pot of thunder.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
I'm on getting that bad what.

Speaker 2 (01:16:26):
Beat up pumping from the second hand store.

Speaker 1 (01:16:31):
Didn't know how to.

Speaker 2 (01:16:32):
Play it, but he knew for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:16:35):
Tough night for him that one pumpkin felt good in
his hand.

Speaker 2 (01:16:41):
Then's headlong to understand that one pumpkin slung way down
loo was one way ticket, only one way to go.

Speaker 1 (01:16:55):
So we start spooking.

Speaker 2 (01:16:57):
I ain't never gonna stop.

Speaker 1 (01:17:00):
I'll keep one.

Speaker 2 (01:17:00):
Spooking someday gone.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
They get to the top and be a spooked turba
