Episode Transcript

(00:02):
Now now I say you start,Oh, I get to start this one.
Hey guys, we are back withanother play Pants podcast. This is
episode one on one. That's JasonGinty. My name is rod Ryan,
and uh we're a couple of daysout from Halloween. Wait back up,

(00:22):
one hundred and one podcast. That'sa shit ton? Is it a lot?
It feels like a lot. Idon't think if you looked. I'd
like to know the numbers, becausewe all know there's a million podcasts out
there, and they start up andthey tend to fizzle out, and you
know, maybe this one should havefizzled out. But how many podcasts?

(00:45):
What percentage of podcasts of all ofthem made it to one hundred episodes?
Do you think? I mean,I don't have the numbers, so I'm
just wondering what you think. I'mcurious, you know what, I'd be
willing to bet it's probably, likeyou know, you'd have to do percon
wise, I would say maybe twentypercent. Really think, Oh yeah,

(01:06):
I think it's way less. Ireally do. It's a good question because
there's so many. I mean,you've got to take into consideration every stinking
podcast, everyone, the people thatdid five and pieced out the people that
did three and pieced out. Yeah, yeah, no, people don't a
podcast. I think it's less thanten. I think it's I think it's

(01:26):
around ten percent. My guess again, I have no idea the these numbers.
The believe me. Every week it'sWednesday afternoon, I'm like, and
we should probably peace out on thisthing. Every Wednesday. I'm like,
you know, I'm not gonna bethe guy to say it, and I
don't think Rod's gonna be the guyto say it. We're gonna end up

(01:46):
doing this until we're dead because neitherone of us are gonna say no,
I'm out. That's what's gonna happen. We're gonna be like ninety five years
old. He goes, keep going, yes, keep going. Nothing.
But but you're right because a lotof people get a great idea, they're
like, we're gonna do this,but they don't realize the commitment and the
time and you have to keep deliveringthe goods. I know we don't do
it every week, but most weekswe get it done. And it is

(02:09):
it's a commitment. This is anotheraspect of a job. It really is.
Like, but I'm committed. Ihaul ass for my other job to
come here and get it done.You got other commitments. We make time
for this. You have to treatit like a job. Alex I think
might be on four hundred with Pastthe Gravy, but he does more than

(02:30):
Yeah, I mean that's insane.He's been doing it for so long.
I mean he's been doing it sincebefore he was on with me, and
he's been on the morning show withme I don't know six years now,
at least six seven years. Soyeah, he's been podcasting like a long
long time. And then he doesHe's obsessed with Big Brothers, so he
does Past the Gravy bro where hetalks about the show, and then he

(02:52):
jumps on these Giants podcasts. Imean he does probably out of seven days.
He probably does Horrified podcast a weekon top of doing the morning show.
I mean he's I mean he's ahostler. He's a hostler for sure.
I mean I don't know how.I mean, good god, I
don't know how you can talk aboutthe Giants, but yeah, he bust

(03:14):
his ass on these things. Soyeah, I just one on one today
is uh today, I never evensaw this. This morning. It's International
Artist Day. And I'm sure it'sbecause it's Pablo Picasso's birthday, right.
And the thing about Picasso, youknow, I feel like, you know,

(03:36):
I took art history, and youthink Picasso is just one of these
guys from a long time ago.He died in nineteen seventy three. Picasso
was making stuff, he was activein the fifties and the sixties. It's
just such a huge name, youknow, because we look at something,
Oh okay, it's a Picasso.You know, that's like the go Too.

(03:57):
I mean, you know, there'sVan Goes and all these other the
these names that have been around acouple hundred years. But Picasso is,
you know, not that old,fairly recent. I mean when you think
about the art going back to thefifteen hundred and sixteen hundreds and stuff.
Yeah, no, it's it's it'sspectactic. And you've obviously seen Picasso's up
in person, right, You've seenthem. Yeah. And the other thing
that's interesting is is Salvador Dali isanother one that is not that old.

(04:23):
I mean, he was making artin the sixties and the seventies, kind
of Andy Warhol. You know,I don't think of any Warhol as being
I mean Andy Warhol is old deadprobably, But I don't think about like
I think about some of these otherartists in history, you know. But
his name is up there, it'sin there. I just always assume that
Pablo Picasso was so much just youknow, one hundred years ago, but

(04:46):
it wasn't like that. Do youhave a favorite artist? Wow? You
know you know what that not knowingabout art? And I say it all
the time, but I don't knowshit about art. But you look at
something and you like it, Well, guess what you like art? I
mean, you need it. Withoutart, what's the point of living.

(05:09):
That's what I always say. Andart is also music. It's obviously art
in the music world. That's whatwe're all about. Yeah. But like
visual art, I love like uh, I don't love, but I like
Picasa. I think it's cool asshit. I love Dolly and his use
of colors and all the drippy shit, and it's like wow, acid,
Okay, So that's what it's like. I don't need to take it right,

(05:29):
very cool, you know, justfrom going to different art museums around
the world, the Louver and youknow, and the Van and Go Museum
in Amsterdam and all these different placesagain, don't know shit. I'm just
a dumb America on my headphones onlearning about shit looking stuff going. Oh,
and when someone explains art to you, when you're looking at it,

(05:50):
then you get it. It's likewhen you've done a wine tasting or a
beer tasting and the summo eir whateverthey call that do that shakes the shit
around. It explains to you whatyou're drinking and goes Okay, now you'll
taste the oak barrel and then you'llhear, you'll feel, you'll taste the
plumb, and you'll taste and you'relike, the fuck's this guy talking about?
But then as he's explaining it,you're like, oh, dude,

(06:11):
right on, man. But withouthim explaining it to you, you don't
get it. But same thing withart, when someone's explaining it to you,
you're like, oh, fuck,no way, yeah, that makes
it great. One of the coolerthings that happened to me. You know,
people ask, you know, whowas the coolest rock star you interviewed
or you met, and you knowwe all have those, but you know,
we've gotten a chance to talk toother people too. And man,

(06:32):
I had such a great experience withPeter Max Peter Max is known for his
colors. You would have thought thatmaybe he would have done the Beatles stuff,
like those Beatles cartoons, because itlooked just like his stuff. He
did that real sixties acid kind ofjust like the pop art. And Peter

(06:54):
Max came on the show when Iwas in New Orleans and I interviewed him
way back when he did the backdropfor the main stage at Woodstock ninety nine.
That's right, So that was thatwas all Peter Max. And because
I have a painting of the mainstage that Peter Max did that I bought

(07:15):
at the gallery when he was there. He he did all of this stuff.
He's responsible for the rebuilding or thereconstruction of the the Liberty Statue,
Liberty Statue of Liberty, Thank You. When they had that thing all like

(07:39):
they had all of the scaffolding andeverything. They redid the Statue of Liberty.
He was responsible for that. Hekind of like spearheaded that whole thing.
And he's painted that several times.He's painted about six or eight presidents.
His stuff is still hanging up inthe in the in the White House.
So I did a radio interview withhim. You'll know how long ago

(07:59):
it is by how he got incontact with me. I did an interview
with him, and you know,back then when we used to just interview
anybody, he stars sixty nine tome back. Okay, how long ago
is that? Twenty some years?And he's like the hotlines ring and I
go into a song and the hotlinesringing, and it's like, hey,

(08:20):
Rod, he had a German accent. He has a German accent. He's
still alive. He has dementia,and he's in his nineties and I guess
he's not in a good way rightnow. But he stars sixty nine to
me back, and he said,Rod, I really love that interview.
He said, thank you so much. Listen, is there any way I
can get a copy of it?And I said, yeah, I can
put it on a cassette for you. He's like, listen, I'm going

(08:41):
to be at the gallery. Thatwas one of the reasons I was talking
to him, because he was inNew Orleans and he was at like the
Hansen Gallery or something. He said, if you bring it by, I'll
scribble a little something for you.I just I love that interview so much.
I would just if you could bringthat to me. I would love
it. I'm like Peter Max.Of course I will. Right when when

(09:03):
they were just again, just togive you an idea of like the how
big Peter Max is. When theywere doing Yellow Submarine the Beatles, John
Lennon called him and asked him todo it, and he wasn't able to
do it, but that was thelook and the style they wanted. If
you look at that cartoon, thatwas in the style of Peter Max.
Max couldn't do it. John Lennonwanted him to do it. So that's

(09:24):
how big this guy is. SoI go down and I meet him,
and I give him the cassette andhe grabs. He grabs like one of
the little flyers there and he's liketwo rod draws a face on it.
Love Max, thank you so much. And then I ended up buying a
painting that night and he flipped itover and he's drawn and he's writing all

(09:45):
over it. Dude, it's amazing, it's amazing. I have two Peter
Max's. They're not originals, they'rewhat's called mixed media, so it's like
a poster and then he paints ontop of it, and I mean,
they're worth some money. But PeterMax is my favorite artist. Just for
the interaction that I had with him, we were actually going to do something

(10:05):
with that. He had access tothe backdrop for Woodstock ninety nine, and
it was always looked upon as likebeing such a negative thing that he wanted
to kind of cut it up andsell it or and he said, you
know, we can do something onyour show, and maybe we could,
you know, do something. I'mlike, holy shit, Peter Mags wow
is giving me access to this Andwe never were able to put it together.

(10:28):
But course, go look up hisstuff. It's just again I can't
explain anything. I like a lotof colors. He paints the American Flag,
he paints the Statue of Liberty,he paints hearts. You know,
I don't know some of the stuffis in that gallery down in Royal Street.
Still, yeah, I've got acause when you did that. We

(10:50):
were there that night and I gotto talk to him for a brief second
and I got like a you know, a poster signed by him, and
I got that here in the housesomewhere. I don't even know what the
hell it is. And he hada book. He's got a really cool
coffee table book, I believe.Yeah, we all got that sign,
got those side and stuff. Soyeah, no, he was cool as
ship. And he did a jazzFest poster, didn't he back in the
day? Good question. I thinkour friend Steger had one. I'm almost

(11:15):
positive that he did a jazz Festposter back in the day. I'll need
to go look that up. You'llhave to look that up. That is
coolest shit. You know. Who'sreally good too, locally is a guy
named Terence Osborne. He's done ajazz Fest poster within the last three or
four years. I have it.I got it one of the first year's
I ever bought a jazz Fest poster. And his ship is full of like
really bright, vibrant colors. Hedidn't do the one this year with the

(11:37):
French Quarter, did he? BecauseI bought that one and I love him,
I remember, but bright color andhe works a lot of New Orleans
elements into it. We've got acouple of his things again, not the
originals, you know, because thatshit's crazy expensive, but we got some
of that mixed medium stuff and hesigns it and all this shit. But
the colors are beautiful, I meanabsolutely spectacular the color he works with.

(12:00):
And he's got a gallery on MagazineStreet. So we went in there one
day and we were just walking upin Magazine's up and down Magazine Street,
just you know, getting the coffeeand wading around, and I'm like,
oly, shit, he's got agallery. Walk in there and he's just
fucking chilling, Like he's chilling.It's his gallery, right, and he's
not that old, he's fairly young. Dude, walk in and we're looking
at shit. He comes over,he goes, hey, you know,

(12:20):
I painted this one. This ismy wife I worked in. It's not
exactly what she looks like, butthis is my wife and she inspired this
and I painted and it's like hiswife's head just got like this cool dress,
but all this New Orleans shit workedinto the dress. And then like
she's got this big hat like likeheaddress type thing that goes up and it's
all like it looks like it's arap right, that goes real tall,

(12:41):
but it's all these New Orleans housesstacked on each other. But that's cod
and it's absolutely stunning. And he'stelling us all this shit. I'm like,
dude, that's awesome. And thenhe had another one where there's like
a picture of a bridge and it'son Bayou Saint John, which is this
small like river right here up byCity Park in New Orleans. And there's

(13:03):
a brass band coming out, andthere's a couple in a in like a
kayak, and uh. And hestarts telling us a story about that one.
So I love that, dude,because the same example of your Max
story is I'm talking to the guyhe's telling me the inspiration for these paintings,
a guy connected to it. Hegoes, this is just a wedding
party, and I got inspired andI knew the guy in the boat and

(13:26):
all this shit, and I paintedthis. I'm like, dude, that's
it. Huh, that's the thing. He goes, Yeah, you just
never know. I'm like, holyfuck. H The twenty fifth New Orleans
Jazz and Heritage Festival, nineteen ninetyfour. Peter Max, Well, I
was way before I was here,so uh that way you're here for yeah,
just a couple of years before wegot down there. And then do

(13:48):
you have any do you have anyblue dog any blue dog stuff at yours?
George Rodrigue is the artist. He'sa Louisiana guy. He was born
over in the Lafayette Cajun Country andstumbled into the blue dog thing. Wasn't
something he set out to do.He actually paints really cool shit or painted.
Yeah, he's no longer around,and he's got the gallery right there

(14:09):
on Royal Street, right behind JacksonSquare, And I got none of that.
I'm never a fan. I thoughtit was cool. I was never
into it until until Hurricane Katrina.I bought one and it was the one
where the dog was underwater. Yeah, and uh so rod Rieg right,
Yeah, George Roudger's saying it right. He Uh, he paints this blue

(14:31):
dog and it's always got yellow eyesand he's only done the eyes red twice
once after nine to eleven, andhal Captain Cash has that one. And
then I bought I bought the onethat he did with the flag and it's
underwater and the dog's underwater but justhis head is above the water. And
that one was it was kind ofspecial. And uh, you were probably

(14:54):
a little too busy, uh tobuy that one at that time. Yeah,
didn't have your life was disrupted aroundthat time. But it came out
shortly afterwards that I believe it benefitedit was Hurricane Katrina. Some kind of
a benefit that he did. Butyeah, I grew to like the Blue
Dog. I never was. Inever gravitated towards it until after I moved

(15:15):
away. And then I thought thatthe nine to eleven one was cool that
he did. But something about theHurricane Katrina one, I just it turned
me and I said, okay,I just I needed to get it,
and I have it right around thecorner form more. I'm doing the podcast
right now, and I love itnow and now I love it. But

(15:35):
I never bought any more, rightright, I thought he was an interesting
artist. He's one of the morefamous guys in Louisiana from Louisiana, and
then one of my favorite artists inLouisiana actually is a neighbor now, Jeremy
over the Dirty Boys right on ChartersStreet. I love him. Okay,
so he did. And if you'rewatching on the YouTube channel, you could

(15:56):
see in the background behind me isthis great portrait of Eddie van Halen,
right, and that's that's an oldNew Orleans window. And then Jeremy does
somehow to somehow draws the stencil andputs the stencil on their spray paints and
shit, and it's fucking amazing.And I know you've got a couple of
his pieces in your place. Yeah. I started buying stuff from him years

(16:18):
ago, so much that what Icommissioned him to so he didn't have He
had never done anything for the Dungeon, which is a place that Jason and
I went to when we first startedwhen we first moved to New Orleans,
and he had never done the Dungeonbefore, so I had commissioned him to
do that. But yeah, no, he's awesome. I love his stuff.

(16:38):
The Dirty Boys, that's kind ofright around where you'll see if you
go to the French Quarter, you'llsee Jason right now. He's in the
Quarter. He's at six oh sevendo Main Street. So right next door
is the Dirty Boys, and yougot to go check out their artwork.
They're awesome. So since it's justat this point, nobody listening, it's
just me and you talking, dude, So as we talked about fucking are

(17:00):
for twenty minutes, Yeah, art, So what else you want to talk
about? My man? How youbeen? Ain't nobody listen? Wonderful?
I didn't really think the art conversationwould go longer than thirty five forty seconds.
International Artist Day. Bro, Hey, we're one hundred and one episodes
in We're gonna go to the moreeyebrow from now on. Man next week,

(17:22):
fucking science. Yeah, one rockbirthday I wanted to mention is Glenn
Tipton seventy six, Judas Priest guitarist. He's now battling Parkinson's. Apparently he
made an appearance at the big whatwas it, power Trip, the big

(17:42):
show in Indio, California. Yeah, I think he got up on stage
and played a couple of tunes withJudas Priest. Because he's not in the
band anymore, right, right,right, So apparently you know, he's
bravely fighting this thing. But yeah, he got up on stage and jammed.
That's awesome. Good for him.Man, that sucks. So reviews
were great. Everybody was saying thatac DC sounded great. I mean,

(18:06):
Metallica, you know, they're activelytouring right now. So for me,
the big story from that show wasa C d C. And we still
haven't heard anything yet as far asthem going out on tour or a new
album or whatever. I mean,you know, we talk about how the
Foo Fighters, you know, they'resuch a tight lipped camp. A C

(18:26):
d C is similar. They justyou know, they'll let you know when
you need to know. But there'sno way that they did all of this
for one show. A c dC has to tour next year. I'm
thinking the smart thing to do woulddo something maybe in the sphere. Yeah,

(18:47):
yeah, and just do a residencyand a C d C. Let
people come to you. The grindof being out there on the road and
all of that. You know,I don't know who wants to do that
at that age. I think BrianJohnson. It might be seventy six.
Now, yeah, they're all asfuck. They're old. Dude, Who
wants to do that for two hoursa night? You can't. That's my
guess. That's my guest for who'sin the sphere next. By the way,

(19:11):
I just bought tickets. I'm goingto you too. I saw them
go on sale today. They addeda bunch of more dates through February,
and I didn't get a chance togo look at the cost on those,
and I was like, they gottabe expensive as shit. It is expensive
as shit. But I just feellike I need to go the reviews of
the sphere in Vegas. The everybodyis just there's nobody that there's nobody that

(19:36):
just went, oh, you knowwhat, you know, there was a
lot of hype and it was justokay, even if you don't love you
too, I think this is justan experience. And I do love you
too, and I think they're playingOctung Baby, and then they always play
a bunch of other hits. Yeah, I just I need to see it.
I need to see it. SoI don't know specifics, and I'm
not going to sit here and juststudy and you know, do all this

(20:02):
research. I had a chance tobuy. I bought tickets. I don't
get there's no deals for me.I had a chance to buy in front
of the stage. There's there's apit where you can stand. There's a
floor there, which I don't needto be that close. I want to
take in the whole sphere, rightcorrect. I want to be in a
seat. I want I want tohear what it sound like, and I
want to I want to I wantto be in a seat. Okay.

(20:25):
First of all, I had achance to buy a ticket in the one
hundred level, which was pretty closeto the stage. There's only there's one,
two, three, and four hundredlevel. I had a chance to
get in the one hundred level,and it seems sketched that they were as
cheap as they were. I'm like, why is that the same price as
the one in the four hundred level. I opted for the four hundred level,

(20:45):
which is the last level. It'snot that the place is huge,
but I want to be a littlefurther back and I want to take in
the whole damn thing. Correct,obviously, two in three hundred levels,
those are the most expensive, youknow, when you're in the middle.
So I'm in the middle four hundredlevel, got an aisle seat, and

(21:06):
I can't wait. I absolutely can'twait. I can't wait either. Dude,
that's so cool. If you boughta stickets, that's awesome. Bro.
Yeah, your buddy Jason. Youknow, I haven't been in Vegas
in a while and I like youtoo, so this is good. We
could actually, you know what,we could do it. We could write
it off. We could do apodcast out there afterwards and talk about it
to a special version. I don'tthink I've been to Vegas in ten years.

(21:30):
Yeah, it's been a minute forme too. I love it.
I love it out there for threedays, I love it. It's amazing
what happens when you have a child. Yeah, yeah, no' that'll do
it, man, that'll freaking doit. You take the age of your
child, and then you tack onanother year, you start to realize,
hey, that's the last time Idid something. The age of your child

(21:52):
plus one, that's the last timeI did something. It's the last time
I rode a motorcycle. That's thelast time I went there. That's the
last time I did this. Yeah, it's very complaining. I'm not complaining.
I'm just saying, it's amazing howmany times you catch yourself saying that,
yeah, yeah, yeah, WellI'm getting the point now. Or
my my son's fifteen. So nowit's kind of like we're kind of inching

(22:15):
up on the other side of it, you know what I mean. Like
he's old enough to hang so now, like me and the wife have gone
out to a few dinners by ourselves, you know, and we've done a
few things, and I'm like,this is fucking weird, you know what
i mean. It's just weird.It's bizarre. It's cool. But you
know, because he always likes togo with us, and we're like,
cool, bro, come on,let's do it. But now he's like,
nah, I want to stay home. I'm like, I don't want

(22:36):
to know what you're doing when you'restaying home. So cool. Yeah,
we'll go out to dinner by ourselves. It is a weird thing, dude.
So yeah, what's the data onthat YouTube? I got? I
gotta check my schedule here man nextweek, dude, you're busy, No,
I can go. I'm wow,it's so nice. Who plays the
sphere next? I heard Fish?Yeah, I don't care about that.
I hope it's ac DC, somefishy dead heady Dead and company with that

(23:02):
bed with the dirty fuckers in thatplace that's brand new. You know what,
those dirty feet fuckers in there.That's gross. I do feel that
Fish and the Dead and Company thatis an outdoor dirty feet kind of deal.
It seems a little too high tech. I think you too, was
brilliant and perfect to open this thing, you know. I just hope it

(23:25):
doesn't become some fucking house of Ed M. You know. And you
know Steve Aoki is there every night. That's not bad though, but yeah,
I mean it's it's just that's whyI want to get in there now,
because I don't know what the futureis. But I'm just I can't
wait to see this thing. Onemore concert thing. Eagles announced that they're
coming. They're going out the LongGoodbye, which I corrected myself when I

(23:48):
said it this morning. I'm like, man, this is the longest goodbye
ever. No, kiss is thelongest goodbye ever. Yeah, Eagles,
Long Goodbye, Final Tour, SteelyDan. They're coming in February. I've
never seen the Eagles before. DoI need to see the Eagles? Yeah?
You got to see the Eagles,man, you do. I need
to see the Eagles. What we'vealways said, they're legends. These are

(24:11):
Is it the Eagles anymore? Notreally that much? Is it the Eagles?
Is it more of Fries dead?Right? Yeah? Yeah? And
the base player's gone, so yougot your basic core. I don't know.
I don't know if I need tosee the Eagles. I sit on
the air today and I people alwayslike to challenge me on this. They're

(24:33):
the biggest American rock band of alltime, two hundred million albums. If
again, it's not the only metricsyou use, but they're the best selling
rock band that America has put outthere? Right? You know all the
big ones aren't ours? Right?Fighting for that would be Aerosmith, I

(25:00):
would say, you'd have to mentionthe Beach Boys. And at this point
you got to talk about Metallica.Some guy emailed me and said, Rod,
Metallica will overtake them. I said, no, they won't. People
aren't buying albums anymore. If we'reusing the metrics of album sales, Metallic
has sold one hundred and twenty fivemillion albums. Eagles have sold two hundred.
These are just ballpark numbers. Sure, Metallica is not going to sell

(25:23):
another seventy five million albums. They'renot going to catch up to the Eagles.
But then the guy emailed me backand he said, well, you
always say that Nirvana is the biggestgrunge band, And they said, let
me go take a look. Nirvanasold seventy five million albums, obviously not

(25:45):
selling anymore. Right, Pearl Jamhas sold ninety five million albums. Are
they the biggest grunge band? Imean, if you look at that match,
and plus Pearl Jam's put on alot more albums. I mean Nirvan
only had what four? Correct,But yeah, but we always talk about
Nirvana. You know that's the groundfloor and that's what kicked in the door,

(26:06):
and we know that bands came beforethem, but we just always look
at Nirvana is the one that bustedthis whole thing wide open, But you
look at a band that because Ithink his argument to me was, you
know, Credence Creden's Clearwater Revival,and if you look at what they put
out in the time that they weretogether was unbelievable, right, a lot
of great albums, but they justdidn't stick around long enough. And that

(26:29):
was you know, that was hisargument where it's like you at least got
to mention them as being one ofthe biggest American rock bands of all time.
And then it got me thinking aboutthe Nirvana thing. Is pro Jam
the biggest grunge band? Is proJam the biggest band from that era and
that music if you look at thealbum sales. Yeah, but this is
where, and I hate to bringthis phrase up, this is where the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame getsweird is because what's your criteria when you

(26:52):
say something like the biggest you know, if you go to album sales,
well, that's just part of it, you know. Yeah, pro Jam
may have more album sales, butwho's the the godfather the kingpins of the
grunge movement? Well that was Nirvana. They were the ones that got the
first success. And it's like anythingelse. If you're first, guess what,
you're the one that's gonna be remembered, you know what I mean,
the first before somebody emails, thefirst huge success. Okay, Ellison Chains

(27:17):
had been signed sound Garden, thesebands were all signed, but they didn't
kick the door in and they didn'tmake it happen without Nirvana. Those bands
are just kind of like, ohyeah, cool sound Garden. I remember
them, you know, it's notjust blew the whole thing up. So
okay with the same. So doI need to see the Eagles? Yeah,
you do, because I don't givea shit about the Eagles. And

(27:37):
I saw him at jazz Fest afew years ago, and I was pleasantly
surprised because the Eagles to me,sounds like just background music. None of
their songs get me excited. It'sjust nice, very nice, easy.
I look at it. It's easylistening music. You see them live and
they're good. They're really fucking good. When Joe Walsh takes over strap In
Daddy, it's gonna be great.Joe Walsh takes and again, not a

(28:00):
Joe Walsh fan, it's different whenhe when he goes all right, boys,
my turn. I've heard that I'lldo this version. I've heard that
about this version of the Eagles,that like Don Henley is fine with just
cashing the checks and not being theguy that's running the show. And I've
heard that Joe Walsh is kind ofrunning things and when he does his stuff,

(28:21):
You're like, this is cool asballs. Yeah, no, you
got to see him. I mean, like we always say, go see
the Legends, man, because thetop the clock is ticking. Don't miss
it. Yeah, they're not gonnabe at the peak of their powers,
of course, but it's worth itto go see it. I mean,
I was lucky I saw him atjazz Fest. I would have never went
and paid to see them, butthey were there, and I'm like,
well, this is one of thebiggest bands in the world, so I
will go see them. And Idid, and I'm glad I did.
I mean maybe the crazy money togo see them, though, No,

(28:45):
I gotta get this. I gottawork some kind of a deal with this
one. So all right, we'retalking music, Let me hit Let me
hit you a couple quick things.The brand new Green Day came out this
week. To me, it soundslike Green Day, but I like it.
You guys must be banging the shitout. It's called the American Dream
is killing me. Yeah, Ilike it. I mean I like it.

(29:08):
It needs to be on the radio. It just needs to go into
a power meaning like a heavy rotationright away boom. You know what was
interesting about taking the calls on it. We live in such a weird political
climate right now that everybody is soI don't know, on edge right,

(29:30):
and I had to explain to theaudience that punk rock has always been anti
establishment, going all the way back, and the sex Pistol didn't invent it,
but they were just an easy example. God save the queen anarchy in
the UK. That's what punk is. Anti establishment. So they're not doing

(29:55):
anything new. They're old guys.They have made a ton of money by
profiting off the American Dream, butthey're still trying to be punk. But
the world that we live in andthe way that we approach politics now it
turned a lot of people off.Dude, really, yes what I mean,

(30:17):
and I mean American idiot all youknow that people are saying that they're
tired of these guys if you don'tlike it, leave it really is,
get off my lawn. I gota ton of that. I couldn't believe
it. You don't like it,don't listen to it. That's the other
answer. Yeah, that's the realanswer. It didn't go over as well
as I thought because it has amessage to it, and the political climate

(30:41):
out there is just nothing. It'slike nothing we've ever seen before. And
that's the truth. Okay, There'salways been political tension, there's no doubt
about that. That's always been happeningsince politics were invented, right, But
right now it's just weird. It'sjust really weird. In the last fifteen
years, it's gotten really really weird. Yeah, so very very brutal.

(31:03):
I was. I was surprised atpeople's reaction to the song. The first
five calls I took Boom, Ilove it sounds like Green Day. I
liked it. I didn't love it. I'll tell you what I love is
that fucking some forty one song night. I absolutely love it. It's great.
It's great. I can't wait tohear it again on the radio.

(31:26):
You know, like it. It'sawesome. And going back to other new
music, blink wid eighty two.You know, it's like Alex's favorite band.
He power ranked the album and uhone more time he has it as
number five or six. On thealbum, he said, there's four better
songs on the album. There areone time there are. They're totally there's

(31:47):
some great fucking I mean, I'mnot a I'm a I'm a fair weather
Blink fan. I like them.I don't really run around blairing their ship
at the house. That new albumis fucking sick. It's so great,
though, I lose the whole funk. It's the last time I listened to
a whole album. Over the weekend, I listened to the new Blink album.
I love it. I fucking now. It's got their goofy shit and

(32:07):
they're telling dick jokes stuff quick littlesongs here and there, but that's blank.
They got some great song and theway you put some head, dude,
when you listen to it, especiallybeing clickity clack guy banging in the
thump thumps, you know the drummer. Listen to the way it's produced and
listen to the Travis Barker, who'sfucking nuts right, he produces the album.
Plus he's the drummer listen to thatshit. He is fucking I mean,

(32:30):
he produced the shit out of thisalbum too. It just sounds great.
There are some banging tunes on thatthing, man. Yeah, and
I'm not even a blank fan andI fucking love it, which is cool,
mister program director. Anything else droppingbefore the end of the year,
yo, let me tell you ifyou heard the new Struts song. I
can't remember the name of it,of course, because I didn't prepare it,

(32:52):
but it just came. It's noteven no one's really playing it yet.
It just got released. Fuck,I wish I were. Guys can't
fucking get it, and they cannotget to the next level. They're so
awesome. Every band and musician outthere loves them. I love them.

(33:12):
I love their stuff. They're sogreat live. They just crush and they're
fucking playing in the middle of theday on these festivals, including ours.
They absolutely crush it on stage.They've got hits, they've got big songs,
but they've only had one big radiosong. And uh god, they're
so great live. I like theguys. They're hardworking. I don't know

(33:37):
what needs to happen why they're notbeing widely accepted. They is taking so
long for us to accept the Strutsas being the next level band. They
can't write a hit, dude,they can't get that perfect. They can't
get that hit. Yeah, becausethey got everything going. They look great
the Killer live. The new songis called Pretty Vicious. Look it up.
Okay, you're gonna you're gonna hearand I don't want to rule it

(34:00):
for you, but you're gonna geta very cool Inxcess vibe out of it.
And I know what, ann Cessfan, you are. Pretty vash
is the name of the song.I want you to check it out because
as soon as I heard, I'mlike, fuck, I's gonna love this,
you know. Is it a hit? I don't know about that,
but it's cool song. That's cool. Uh, there's a song. And

(34:22):
you may have brought this band upbefore, and I don't recall. I
just we just put it in thisweek. The band's called Dirty Honey,
dude. I love Dirty Honey.Fuck it. I a that's just a
rock band. That's just a rockband, dude. Check out the song.
It's it's out now. Won't TakeMe Alive is the name of the
song. I'm writing all this down. Won't take Me Alive? From Dirty

(34:44):
Honey. Listen to the guitar workin that song. Now, there's not
a huge hook, so I don'tthink it's gonna go real far. I
love them, Holy balls, dude, Listen to guitars in that song.
Holy shit, is it fucking It'sgot swagger. You know when when I
say swagger, I mean like VanHayes then always had like a cool swagger
to their songs. You know,you just there was an edge, but
it wasn't like it just it justfelt like they were having fun. You

(35:07):
could feel something in the way Eddievan Hannen played. These guys got that
kind of cool swagger that's sort offun yet badass guitar sound. Holy shit,
that song is fucking crazy. Notgonna be a hit. Oh I
really really like that band. Ilike them, damn it. That's a
cool bunch of fucking music right there. So yeah, we're heating up now.

(35:27):
I think Pearl Jam will get somethingmaybe at the end of the year,
near the front end of the year, more green day, more blank.
You know, you're getting in thatweird part of the year where there
may be a surprise or too.But once you got seven weeks left in
the in the record world, andthen once the holidays start, it just
fucking shuts down. So you mightget something in the next couple of weeks.

(35:50):
I don't really know if there's anythingmajor, Okay, so it might
be after the first year before wereally get anything. I mean, it's
been nice right now. I meanthey've been I mean they've been throwing us
some bangers right now. You knowwhat. I actually set it on the
air the other day. I'm like, I'm like, hey, man,
I just played the brand new blankny too. I'm playing some new stain

(36:10):
coming up. I got new GreenDay. I'm like, what fucking year
is it? Yeah, it's reallyreally cool now doesn't resonate with a younger
audience, don't know. I don'treally give a shit either, because I
fucking love it. I think it'sgreat Aysan's personal jukebox. But you know
what's great about it too, though, is I you know, we're we're

(36:31):
we're fans of the music. We'refans of these bands. I want them
to put out good music. Youknow how many times have some of these
bolder bands put out shit and youlisten to it and you're like, oh,

Pumpkins coming out with anything new theyit's gonna be. Yeah. They put
out that double album last year calledAutumn at u M, and they had
a couple of really cool songs onthat they didn't really do real well,
but we played a few of them. I liked them. I thought they
were cool, but they were kindof a return to form there with the
Pumpkins as well. So there's beena lot of cool shit out and I'm

(37:15):

(42:05):
Like if you're watching if you're watchingus on the YouTube channel, you see
Jason shows up like fresh from atour, and you could tell he's like
washing his face quickly to get onhere with us. And uh, every
now and then there's just a littleI see a little pirate there, a
little extra stank on me man.So you know, growing up in New
York outside of Buffalo, New York, Man, fall meant something. You

(42:29):
know, the leaves would change colors. Here in the south, the leaves
don't do that. So up north, the leaves would change in the fall,
and then you'd start to smell likefarmers. Where I grew up,
there's a bunch of fucking farmers aroundmy house. They'd be burning the leaves.
People would rake leaves in their yardand they would burn the leaves.
And you know that sounds crazy,but that gives off some of the best
smell in the world. The smellof burning leaves takes me immediately back to

(42:54):
being a kid in western New Yorkbecause you smelled it all over the place
in the fall, little crisp inthe air, little chili, you know,
playing football in the yard, playingsome street hockey. And then I
never really did this. I didit a few times growing up there,
but I did it a few yearsago when I went back to visit some
friends. You're gonna get some ofthe best goddamn apples in the world.

(43:16):
In Western Ego. That is applegrowing country up there, man, That
is God's country for apples. Forsome damn reason right, it's the weather
and everything, and you see allthe farmers on the side of the road
because my dad would work where Jasongrew up and it does get a little
rural, and he would always bringhome apple cider. Well, totally different

(43:37):
than apple juice. It's just waymore like intense apple cider. Man,
it was just fucking like cocaine.Yeah, it can be like that.
Actually, So when I went backa few years ago, we went to
an old apple orchard down you know, way out in the middle of nowhere
basically, and you go in thefall. What's cool about this, this

(44:00):
little down home shit is you goto these apple orchards, right, you
go in, you pay a fewbucks or whatever it is, You buy
a ticket, and then you grablike a bushel basket or a giant bag,
whatever you got, and then youjump, I swear to god,
you jump on the back of afucking tractor, like old school farmer tractor
pulling a trailer. And then nextto you know, you're being driven around

(44:22):
this orchard and then they go allright, jump off here. These trees
haven't been really that picked yet.Go pick some fresh apples off the fucking
trees. So you're running around rippingapples off trees, humming the old rotten
ones at each other. It's ablast. Put them in your bags and
you've got a bag of the greatestapples you've ever had in your life.
You go in, you pay forthem, and then of course they got

(44:44):
a bar with apple sider, differentflavors of apple cider, you know,
and then they got the hard shitand do it. Let me tell you,
that hard shit kick your ass.It will kick your ass. It
is so fucking strong. Taste it, but it'll wreck you. It'll wreck
you good. So that's why anytimefall. We were talking about the seasons

(45:06):
the other day, I've always likedfall because of that. Now in the
South, it's like it goes fromone hundred and ten degrees to eighty degrees
and then we get a couple ofnights where it's sixty. You know how
it goes, But it's not thesame. The one thing I do missed
about the South is the fall doesn'thappen, you know, you don't get
the leaves and all that that feelingyou get up north. Yeah, because

(45:28):
it's actually a season. It's nota week. Yeah, there's no season
here. So it feels like itgoes from ninety to all the leaves drop
in in five days. Yeah,and then that's that and then you get
ready for summer. A different vibe. Yeah. Fall, I mean we
just kind of went. I tookLondon. This place a dewberry farm,

(45:50):
and it's kind of like what you'retalking about, pumpkin patch. We'll go
back there probably before Christmas. Youcan go cut down a Christmas tree and
do all of that. But it'sjust like an outdoor and yeah, the
fall is being outside and not sweating. We had so many one hundred degree
temperature days that I cannot wait tojust have the doors open in the house.

(46:12):
I'm that weird guy that has mydoors open in my house. Yep,
really see anyone else in my neighborhood. Now, I have a gate
in the front, so I canfeel pretty comfortable able about having the door
open. But like the door isopen, I don't care how many fucking
bugs come flying in here. Ineed fresh air in my life, man.
Yeah. And the back door andit goes all the way through and

(46:32):
I don't see anyone else doing that. I just I don't really have like
windows that open. I don't know, maybe I do. I just I
open the door. I love havingthe door open. Dude, do you
have and I don't know? MaybeI just because my house doesn't have any.
Do people still have screen doors ontheir houses? Am I just living
in a weird house because I don'thave those? No, I've not had

(46:53):
a screen door since I lived downsouth. Yeah, but like the screen
door when you're regular door and thenyou've got the screen door and then you
can have your door open and allthe fucking bugs don't come in. Like
I don't have one of those.Well, up north it was it was
not only called a screen door,it was called the storm door. Correct.
It will kind of protect give youthe first layer of protection, right,

(47:15):
yes, right, but a screendoor, Yeah, I don't.
I mean, like, why wouldn'twe have them in the south? It
makes more sense down here and allhouses up north they got screens on every
window. You could open up everywindow in the house and there's screens,
and to the south must be wejust gave up and said, fuck it,
we're gonna run air conditioning twenty fourto seven, three sixty five.
I think that's what happened. Idon't think I have any screens in this

(47:36):
house. I do have some,and when they blow away, I kind
of go, all right, thereyou go. I don't think I have
any screens in this house. Ihave opened them up, but you know
what, I haven't opened these windowsand so long they're hard to open now
at this point. So yeah,yeah, well screen that. I'm just
French doors open, boom, giveme the air. Let the bugs in.
I don't care, right, allright. Jason Ginty song's about fall

(48:00):
that contained the word fall talking aboutfalling anything. I'm wide open on this.
I got some good ones. Igot some really really I went deep
on this one. Dude. You'regonna be like, what, get the
fuck out of here with that one? Yeah? I went crazy on this
one, dude. Okay, goodship. You want to go first?
I can't. Number five is awesome? Well I didn't say it's awesome.

(48:22):
I just said I went deep onit. So, uh, number five,
this one, this one, noway? You got this one?
No way? Okay? Neil DiamondSeptember Yeah, no, no, no,
no, no no. I don'tknow any of the words, but
you want well, I'll tell you. Here's one of the great lines from
this song and this is why NeilDiamond is the man quote we danced until

(48:46):
the night became a brand new day. What dude? Fuck so good?
I mean that's romance and a songright there. September Morning, see September
morn is a great song. Itdidn't make the cut. I wrote it
down. It definitely was in mybubbling under. I love the diamond.
The diamond cool and man, youwatched that video and do it live?

(49:07):
Woof. That is definitely dated stuffright there. But that's all right.
It's a diamond. He gets awaywith it. That was number five,
number four. I kind of wentaround and around on this one, but
I was like, well I kindof need it, so I went with
it. Green Day and wake meUp when September ends. Now it's a
cliche at this point, you know, ha ha October first, wake up
the Green Day guy. But it'snot about fall. It's about like his

(49:30):
dad having a heart attack and diein it. It just it was a
miserable fucking month and he's like,just let me get this month over with.
So I look at it from thatstandpoint that he poured out his energies
and its feelings into that song,So I kind of see it from that
angle, even though we play theshit out of it, and I feel
like Green Day also, I mean, that song was out, and you

(49:51):
know, Hurricane Katrina happened in August, and September was a hell of a
month, you know, that yeartwo thousand and five, rude, And
I also remember that song taking onanother meeting wake me up when September ends.
It was just, you know,for many people in New Orleans,
it was the worst month of theirlife, you know. And I felt
like that song was playing and ittook on a different meaning. Wait,

(50:14):
that's when it came I came outin two thousand and five. I don't
know when it came out. I'llhave to look that up, but I
know that it was out, Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, wow.
Because that's crazy because I don't rememberwhen it came out. Maybe that's
why, because I wasn't dealing withI didn't give a shit about music or
radio. I was worrying about,you know, the city and doing shit
here. That's crazy. Okay.So that's number four, great song,

(50:37):
number three, And for some reasonI always love this tune. I think
it's because it's such great harmonies andstuff. The mamas and the Papa's California
Dreaming. It's great, all thelead and you know what, God damn,
I love that lyric. I lovethe the Mama's and the Papas,

(50:59):
the South owned, so great meldingof all of those voices. Man,
it was fucking Butter. It wasgreat. It was just absolute like acid
and butter. There's a It wasgreat. Remember think about this, This
is like mid sixties I want togo with. And you think about the
recording technology compared to it today.It's not even close. So when you're

(51:22):
doing this shit, you're doing itreal. There's no edits really or anything
like that. I think it's thissong California Dreaming that they're near the end
and somebody false starts. When theycome back after a little musical interlude,
they fall start and they leave it. They left it in. Oh I
don't remember that, but it soundsgreat. It's like one of the dudes
goes all the and then you hearthe false start, like it's right there

(51:45):
in the front, it's not buriedin the mix or anything. And then
then it comes back around. Butthe way his timing was it worked,
and it sounds cool. It's like, oh, hey, what's that?
And then they kick in It's reallyneat. You have to listen to that
song again. See that's like KurtCobain coming in early on Polly. He
screwed up on that and they leftit in there. You go listen to
Polly and he's like Polly, Polly, wanta crack. They could have left

(52:09):
it early and they left it.So I didn't know that about the Moms
in the Papas. That's a greatsong. Yeah, that was totally off
my radar, but yeah, Ilove that song. So those are my
seasonal one. There's three of myseasonal ones. This one I went with
just because the song I think peopleneed to know and it has the word
fall in it. Number two fromthe Goo Goo Dolls. The song is

(52:31):
called falling Down from uh that Superstarcarwash. I believe, yes right?
Oh no, so dumb I sucksyour list? Jack asked, I don't
know either way. It's good fallingDown, great freaking song. Love that
damn tune. The Goo Dolls hasnothing to do with seasons. It's got

(52:52):
the word fall in it. Sothat you said that was okay, So
I went with that for number twoand number one. This maybe the one
we both have. Actually, ChrisCornell in the song called Seasons. It's
a great song, and I figuredit's from the single soundtrack, so that's

(53:12):
why it's so great, you know. It's such a great fucking song man,
Chris Cornell Seasons. Now, Idon't know if he necessarily talks about
fall in It, but I figured, you know, what our list we
can do we want. I wentwith Chris Cornell doing Seasons because that song
is underrated. Most people don't knowabout it, and everyone in the world
should know about it because it isthat freaking awesome. And there you go,
Top five songs with fall in Itor about fall Really good list,

(53:37):
dude, Yeah, I know,that's why I did it. Really good
list, Superstar car Washed nineteen ninetythree, fall in It down. That
album. Nobody knows it outside ofBuffalo, New York. Fucking album's great.
I love it. Wake me Upwhen September ends. Two thousand and
four, so that song definitely wasaround in two thousand and five. It

(53:58):
probably was a single at that time. Yeah, yeah, I remember that
song taking on a much more.It just became bigger, you know,
and then you know, Green Daykind of had that when you know they
played when they reopened the super Dome, and immediately you know that's a special
moment for the city of New Orleans. So Green Day is you know,

(54:21):
kind of like a it's it's aspecial band, I think for the city.
Okay, well, let me fixthe moments in Papa's thing. It's
not California Dreaming. The song iscalled I saw Her Again last night?
Right, I saw her again lastnight. I can't sing. So anyway,
they come back, they're doing thesong and they come back. It
was wonderful. I thought it waspretty good myself. Actually, they come

(54:45):
back to the end and like oneof the dudes is like, I saw
her, and then they all kickin I saw her again, and you're
like, oh, somebody fucked up. Bro, you fucked up. You
fucked up. And then there wasthis tape cost we're not doing this again.
Yeah, but they kept it inand it's like you hear the false
start and you're like, uh oh, yeah, they fucked up, and
that's what. Yeah, So Isaw her again. So now I go

(55:06):
to listen to Two Mamas and Papa'ssongs tonight, and you're gonna thank me
for it later. You got alot of homework to do, a lot
of fucking songs that listen to.We've hit some good shit tonight. I
cannot wait to hear your list allright in at number five, Falling to
Pieces, Faith No More. Ohyeah, baby, that is one of

(55:31):
my favorite songs, not favorite FaithNo More songs, favorite songs. Yep.
Fuck dude, And that's at numberfive, Hooker. We should have
collaborated on these lists. This isgreat stuff. This might be our all
times. So Falling to Pieces FaithNo More? And then how could I

(55:53):
not go right into Fall to PiecesVelvet Revolver. That's it. I suck,
I really suck at this those dude, Fall the Pieces. Go watch
that fucking video where Duff is takingcare of a little little scrunny ass Scott
Wiland in that video. It's soawesome. The video. You want to

(56:15):
see rock stars looking badass, lookup the video for fall the Pieces.
Goddamn, that song is so great. I went from Falling to Pieces to
Fall to Pieces in one move ofmy chessboard here, and that move makes
my five songs look like pieces asshit. Uh wow, fuck In at

(56:37):
number three great This man has notbeen mentioned ever on this podcast. I
really do like them. I likethat first album, fall Down Toad the
Wet Sprocket. Oh wow, numberthree, huh yeah, that's it in
my number three, man, Iabsolutely love that album man, and I
think it's Towed the Wet Sprocket's firstalbum. Yeah, I Would Walk on

(57:00):
the Ocean and Tie Her Down isa great out. Fall Down Toe the
wets Brocket in a number three init number two, can't help falling in
love Elvis. Great song if you'rekilling this one, dude. And then
my number one, and it's alittle obvious, but nobody's on the road,

(57:23):
nobody's on the beach. You canfeel it in the air. Summer's
out of reach. Boys of Summeris not about summer, right, Boys
of Summer is Summer is over andit's fall Nobody on the beach, feel
it in the air. Summer's outof reach, empty lake, empty streets,

(57:44):
sun goes down alone. Boys ofSummer is a masterpiece. I love
that song. I love the remakeof it, but the original I think
it's just it's the best thing thatDon Henley's ever done. I really do.
I guess you know. He wroteHotel California pro probably that's pretty abbn
too. I get it. I'dbe honest, that's pretty good. Wow,
that's a killer list. I'm surprisedat your number one. I thought

(58:06):
that'd have been like ustaposed with somethingelse. But that's wow. I really
do think that's an I think it'san incredible song. I think it takes
you back to when you saw iton MTV. I think the sound of
it, it really there's something timelessabout it, but it certainly sounds like
it's from. I don't know whatyear it is when it came out.

(58:27):
It's got to be eighties, huh, mid late eighties, it's got eighty
I'm just guessing here. I've guesseddone everything so far tonight. I've been
wrong every time, so I'm justgonna guess eighty six October twenty ninth,
nineteen eighty four. Yep, that'swhat I said. That's right, so
right there in the mid eighties.Yeah, that's I really think that's just

(58:47):
the construction of that song. Ithink everything about it is unbelievable. I
really do. I think it's justan unbelievable song. I just think it's
it's it's a better song. Imean Falling to Pieces, Fall the Pieces.
I love those songs. I thinkBoys of Summer is just it's a
better song man. No, that'sfair, it's just a great song.

(59:14):
I wrote down Green Day. Wehad no overlap. Is that the first
time ever? Yeah? I thinkthat's probably the first time ever. Although
both lists killer, totally killer lists. I mean, that's that gives you
ten songs right there that you you'regood, You're good for a while,
and that that's that's good. Iforgot Fall the Pieces from Valvarie Volvert.
God, I love that song likeI play ship that one. What else

(59:35):
you got bubbling under? Not awhole lot, dude. I could not
bring myself to put November Rain onanother list, right. I wrote it
down, wrote it down, Isaid, just to cover our asses for
somebody who. I can't believe youguys didn't mention November Rain. You know
what, because I've said it inthe last I don't know. That's been
on two of my lists recently.I couldn't give it a third because I'm
sick of it now. Yeah,I've burnt this song out of myself.

(59:58):
Put on the list not a wholelot, dude, I mean because I
didn't want to go barreling down somecrazy ass rabbit hole because it would have
taken me forever. Because if yougoogle fall songs, holy shit, how
many songs are to have the wordfall in it? Oh my god,
forget it. We were just talkingabout. Korn has had a couple of
anniversaries twenty five and twenty seven yearsfor their first two albums. Falling Away

(01:00:24):
from Me is one of my favoriteCoorn songs. Great song, holy shit,
yeah, awesome, awesome. FallingAway from Me is one of my
absolute favorite. If you go intothe lyrics of Moondance Van Morrison, he's
singing about the fall and that isa banger. I fucking love that song.
Yeah, it's great. I wrotedown the diamond fall on me,

(01:00:45):
rim, I wrote down nice.That was it. I mean free falling
was obvious Tom Petty, It's noteven a top ten Top Petty song for
me. Nah, it's cool,but good good, you know. And
you know this Toad the wet Sprocket. Yeah, there's this great, great
album called kiss My Ass. Itwas a tribute to Kiss. It came

(01:01:06):
out years ago, and Toad thewet Sprocket does I believe it's rock and
roll all night party every day,And when you hear it, you don't
know what it is at first,because they do it very slow and very
subtle, And the first time Iheard it, I'm like, the fuck
is this? Like, I didn'tknow what it was until I started listening
to lyrics. I'm like, Hey, isn't that rock and roll all night

(01:01:28):
party every day? But they slowedit down and it's awesome. Like,
it's fucking great. I love thatversion of that song. Totally unexpected.
I didn't expect the band like thatto be on a Kiss tribute album,
let alone do like arguably their biggestsong and slow it down to make it
completely unique. You've got to becareful when you're dealing with something that is

(01:01:51):
so recognizable. And they completely reimaginedthat song and it was such a bold
choice for them to do what theydid to it. It was awesome.
I mean, it really was.It was. It was awesome what they
did to it. That's a reallygood album. Garth Brooks is Garth.

(01:02:14):
Lenny Kravitz does some shit on there. The best thing on there is the
Mighty Mightighty Boss Tones. I thinkthey do the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, dude,
Detroit Rock City. I don't knowthat all the story about it,
but if you remember that song,He's looking for the CD. Now,
if you remember the Mighty Muddy bossTones, they played a message, a

(01:02:39):
phone message from Gene Simmons. It'slike, hey, Dicky, it's Gene
Simmons. Look, I know youwanted to do Detroit Rock City, but
I believe Mega Death has already takenthat song. So basically, you know
any other song from her catalog thatyou'd like to do, And then they're
like, fuck, you were doingit, and they cut Gene off of

(01:03:02):
his of his recorded message, andthey're just like Mega Death, fuck that
done. No, no no,and they go right into Detroit Rock City.
It's awesome. I don't know.I would love to run into Dicky
Betts one day and say, bro, what was going on? Was that
real or staged or yess? Sothe album is called Kiss My Ass,

(01:03:23):
and it's just all it's just thebands that were influenced and grew up loving
kiss. They all got a chanceto do a kiss song and it was
awesome when it came out. Itwas so great, really great versions too,
and some of them are pretty true. To form, but other ones
that are really interesting takes on.Shit, man, it's it's it's a
good good. We should do liketribute albums because remember there was the maybe

(01:03:46):
there's only two I don't know.Uh the Encomium tribute to led Zeppelin years
ago. That's the only two Iknow, So I guess I'm out.
Uh Stone Temple Pilots did Dancing Dayson that one. I think Sheryl Crow
did a song that One's pretty.That's a good album too. Anyway,

Rod the people that make Doggie pickup your poop bags got it. Quality

(01:04:54):
control has got to be there.Man. I went down to go scoop
up one of Woo's turds and therewas a big hole in the bag and
I just immediately felt the warmth onmy exposed finger. And I'm at the
furthest point from my house on ourwalk and you just got shit on your

(01:05:17):
hand. There's nothing you can do. There's nothing you can do about it.
You're walking back and you're passing peopleand you have shit on your hand,
shaking hands with everybody. Meat.It just happened to me today.
It's like, come on, man, you can't have a hole in these
things. And I'm thinking of thatfirst one. Sometimes that first one gets

(01:05:39):
a hole in it because you know, they come wrapped up in their taped
and sometimes the tape rips it,and I'm always very careful on that one.
No, this one just had ahole in it. It was a
defective bag went in there and Iimmediately felt vo's turdugh. But like,
really, like when you pick itup with a bag, you're still feeling
the heat off that thing and you'remushing around when you pick it up,
dude, you're feeling it. Itfeels like right now you're feeling it.

(01:06:02):
But I'll tell you after having akid, eh, it's not that bad.
I mean the horrific things that happenwhen you have a child, getting
shit on and pissed on and pukedon and picking up shit and just shit
dripping and just brutal, the changingof the bed and everything. It prepares

(01:06:26):
you for life. It really does. So I imagine if I had never
gone through the kid experience, thatwould have been a little bit more horrific.
But you know, I was scrubbingthe shit man nails. Yeah,
yeah, you got to get thatclean. That's gross speech, straight bleach.
There's nothing like you know, likeyou go to a park or something
and you see, like we've alldone this, you see a chick walking

(01:06:47):
a dog and you're like, wow, check out that chicken. That dog,
she's hot. Right then the dogjust ripped out a duke and she
bends over she's picking it up.You're like, yeah, that sucked the
cool out of that scene. Thatwas way cooler to the dog shit,
Like, wow, she went fromhot to not pretty quick. Not her
fall a part of life. Itis so running thought. I think I'm

(01:07:10):
done with uber drivers. I thinkI'm done with them. No, well
I don't know. You don't drinkanymore, so well no, no,
no, And I'm not saying fromfrom me using them. I will continue
to use them forever. I lovethat side of it. There is I
looked it up. There's no trainingfor an uber driver. You know that,
right, There's no training. There'sno like, hey, you suck

(01:07:31):
it drive. It doesn't matter.You can still be an uber driver because
I've learned, you know, AndI work in the Central Business District,
so I'm in the in the cityhere in New Orleans, a lot uber
drivers will just pull up, stoptraffic and let dopes out of the car,
fuck up traffic. Meanwhow I meanto the side of the road.
Of course, there's the park,right place to park. You could pull

(01:07:51):
over. You could pull over itand not fuck up everybody else's day.
Uber drivers don't understand that concept.They just don't quite get it. And
I'm I'm like, so I lookedit up. If you want to be
a cab driver, you got toget a license, and you got some
shit you got to go through.You got some hoops you gotta jump through.
Now, No, I'm not sayingcab drivers are good at driving either
that because they saw to. Butuber drivers, man, move your shit

(01:08:15):
over when you're dropping off, hoveryour shit over. You ain't get stop
in the middle telling you. Ijust I give everybody five stars. Yeah,
I'm not confrontational. I was goingto say, would you have done
this? I got a friend ofmine that smokes weed and he's completely nose

(01:08:39):
blind to it. I go,bro, you don't fucking even know I
could. I could smell you.I can smell your car going by with
your windows down. I can smellyou when you walk in my house.
I go, you don't I knowthat you just like ripped a joint or
whatever you do. I go,you don't smell that anymore. I got
into an uber and it fucking reeked. Weed doesn't smell like it was weed

(01:09:02):
years ago. It's different, superstrong, it's weird, it's skunky.
I don't enjoy the smell of it, like years going to jazz fest and
like it's never been a weed smoker. But every now and then I was
like, hey, man, thatsmells pretty good. It never catches me
like that anymore. Where it's like, hey that it doesn't smell so bad,

(01:09:24):
you know, I'll do this second. I really find it to be
pungent and offensive smelling, right,And I don't smoke it, that's fine.
But if you're if you're an uberdriver and you get in the car
and it reeks of that new weed, the new weed, the one that
you can smell on everybody, shouldI have to smell that shit all the
way? I mean I would youhave given them a less star and would

(01:09:47):
you have made a note car smelledlike weed? I guess it would depend
on my mood, because I don'twant to fuck up anybody's day. But
are used so it used to besmoking weed and driving. Doesn't it impair
you in some sort of way?I'm just I don't know. I don't
know. That's a good thing,you know what I mean? Like it
does make you a little bit differentin the brain acting. There wasn't any

(01:10:09):
His driving was fine. He didn'tseem like, you know, he was
high or inebriated or anything like that. It's just the car smelled of weed,
you know, I mean, It'sjust it, and it was pretty
strong. Maybe the person that hepicked up before me was smoking weed and
they got and it's still smelled inthere, so maybe it wasn't his fault.

(01:10:30):
Of course, five stars. Itook the high road, but it
was making me a little nauseous becausenot everybody likes the car at the temperature
that I like. And again Isit there in fucking misery. I should
have said, bro, turn theair on or something. It was a
little warmer than I would have liked, and it smelled of weed. Still
gave the guy five stars. Totally. Yeah, unless they kill me,

(01:10:53):
I'm give them five stars. ButI think that this No, I'm not
confrontational. I think it this way. For me in that situation, i'd
been like, whatever, you know, whatever, I don't give a fuck.
But if I put my sweet motherin law in the car, okay,
she's uber And now you know thatwe got them uberan because we don't
want the olds to drive at night. Freaks us all out. So do
I want my mother in law climbingin an uber that stinks like weed?

(01:11:15):
You think he's going to be realexcited about that ship. She's not gonna
be happy at all. So Ilook at it from that standpoint. You
know, dude, be better atthis job. Your job is to drive
ship people around. Don't smoke weed. That's why I look at it.
If that's your job you've chosen,let's just do it and don't stay in
the middle of the fucking street either, pull over. I'll tell dot.

(01:11:36):
If an uber driver that I'm inwants to stop in the mill of the
street, I'm like, hey,man, you could just just pull over,
come on, help the world.Help or are you not going to
say anything, or you're not goingto say anything and just get out where
he lets you out or she letsit get out and gives a shit.
But yeah, uber drivers don't getany training. That's a mistake. It's
just a mistake. I didn't thinkfor a second that there was any kind

(01:11:59):
of a fucking course that they gotto pass. Now there's not. I'm
sure there's a quick background check andeverything's done online and boom, here's your
license. Maybe there is, Idon't know, but it is convenience shit
when you need one. I tellyou what. I've used them many times
and I will continue to use it. But I just thought, man,
get out of the damn road,Come on now, help us out,
help a guy out. You knowyou can get this podcast anywhere, Rod,
