And all right, got it,lady, got it. Let's rip this
thing off. Let's go. Welcomeaboard, everybody play pants. The podcast,
episode number eighty five. He's JasonGinty, my name is rod Ryan.
A couple of things that we wantto talk about. I got an
email that was sent to us,and this guy's wondering why we haven't brought

(00:21):
something up very specific on the podcast, So I thought we would address that.
Jason said he's got some Southern stereotypethings to talk about. I would
like to maybe take a look atwhat people thought about our Aerosmith lists.
Apparently we forgot a bunch of songsthat people really like by Aerosmith last week,
so that's always good. I didwant to just touch upon. I

(00:46):
wanted to mention the sex pistols.There is an anniversary today and then Mother's
Day. Tick tick tick tick ticktick tick Mother's Day this weekend. Okay,
mothers are awesome. At this pointwhen you're listening to this podcast.
If you got to mail out acard, it is not getting there on
Sunday unless unless and I have resortedto this before, I have fedext a

(01:08):
two ninety nine Mother's Day card thatcosts me twenty four dollars to get to
north Tonawanda, New York. Itdoes not count. If the Mother's Day
card shows up on Monday, andMother's Day we all know is on Sunday,
it doesn't count. You might aswell have not sent one. It's

(01:29):
got to get to You can senda Mother's Day card and it get there
two weeks ahead of time. You'recovered in my house. It's the way
it works. The day after you'redead to me, Well, you know
what it means, are dead tomy mom. Your mom knows you have
continued throughout your entire life to continuallybe a giant pilot garbage. Mom's just
pretty much it's about right. It'sabout right this kids. I've done nothing

(01:53):
for this kid all these years later, But you know, now things have
changed, having my own kid andthen her having to get stuff to her
that has kind of really kicked mein the ass a little bit. So,
you know, we got to makesomething. So we had to do
arts and crafts last weekend, andthen the frame and the paint and you
know, and we got to gluethe Galveston seashells to the frame and pick

(02:16):
out the picture. Gotta get allthat stuff in the mail. So I'm
good about it now. But Idid wait until today to do the flower
thing. Now, this is nota commercial. If they want to endorse
this podcast, that would be great, But I do kind of flip flip
flop between ProFlowers dot Com and oneeight hundred Flowers. I just kind of

(02:38):
go back and forth between the two. I don't price shop whatever one.
Whatever one I plug in, that'sthe one I'm buying from that day.
I don't know that one's better thanthe other, but I can tell you
one eight hundred flowers they were like, fuck you, We're not getting any
flowers to your mom before day.So I started so I started to panic.

(03:01):
That was one eight hundred flowers.I went to ProFlowers dot Com and
uh, and no problem. AndI mean, do you know of another
really big one? Those are thetwo biggest ones, right, I usually
in the one eight hundred flowers guy. I've been using those guys for years
and they're they're great. I've neverhad a problem. They They've got the
little reminders that pop up, Ohit's your wife's birthday, yeah week,

(03:22):
oh shit, it is. ThankGod for one hundred flowers due so I
did something and here's a little prohack. Maybe everybody knows this. I
don't. Again, I don't knowwhich one does which. But I remember
even when Rush Limbaugh was on Who'sDead, I still promo code. I
type in Limbaugh, I type inHannity. On Hannity, I still put

(03:46):
Dinah in there. Who God resther soul has been gone for years,
but it worked for years after shedid the endorsement. So I would,
you know, even if it wasget a free vase, I would always
tell Dina, hey man, justuse your name. It's still in the
system. I don't remember which one. Nothing was working, you know,
Rush Limbaugh is dead. So thenI'm like, wow, maybe the other

(04:08):
guy that the other guy that justgot booted. I tried his name because
I know for some reason they wouldadvertise on Fox and nothing was working.
So I googled pro I would seewhat did I say? I went with
pro Flowers. I googled pro Flowersdiscount code boom. I found one that
was twenty percent off. Isn't itweird that someone takes the time to actually

(04:30):
put those out there on the internet. Yes, and it was very nice
of them, And I just thoughtfor sure, Okay, I'm gonna click
on this and it's gonna be okay. They're just gonna get into all my
ship now and it's gonna be somekind of malware and I still to be
determined if that is the case.But their code worked. I got twenty
bucks off the flowers, and thatone's getting there tomorrow as a matter of

(04:53):
fact. So why don't you justgo ahead and text me that code right
now? I can get my twentypercent off in life is good and can
do I dig it? I digit because I'm gonna need to get that
done. I want to do myfinal thought. Rod, let's wrap it
up. Whoa whoa final thought already, dude, we got some stuff we
gotta do today. No, no, I just want to bring it up
now because I'll forget by the endof the podcast because I'm that kind of

(05:15):
guy. And if I really dowant to do your final thought, Okay,
I'm get my final thought right now. Let's go out of order today.
Let's be zany, let's be wacky. Okay, Okay, I love
it. Final thought today from Ghintyis this as we're getting started. If
you drive a pickup truck, Okay, you're dude, you got a pickup
truck. I've driven pickup trucks again, SUV. Here's what I saw today.
Here's what I saw today. Andthis is not okay, it is

(05:39):
judgment. Okay, it is judgment. Okay. I'm in a parking ramp
right park garage, and the spotsare tight and all this shit right,
So I'm watching this dude, andagain it's tight. I got no judgment
because of paying the park in thisparking garage. He's got a big,
full size pickup truck. All good, gonna fit. He pulls up right
and he's gonna back into us.Bot. I'm like, my man,

(06:00):
you're thinking easier to pull out myguy? So far it's so good.
Like that guy pulls out like youwould, get your mind right, get
the car straight, go straight back. Life is great, man. Okay,
well, okay, there's the phrase. Right, he is a dude.
How is he backing up to seebehind him? Which I get it.

(06:23):
It ain't the easiest trick, andyou don't want to scratch up your
fucking car or your or the otherperson's car. Our boy, here,
he's got the driver's side door openand he's looked behind him. It's this
a late model truck we're dealing withhere. Twenty twenty two, twenty twenty

(06:43):
one. Maybe he's gotta have abackup camera on it. Okay, someone's
not working. In all fairness,that's that. Okay, maybe the camera
doesn't work, but you know whatyou do have, right mirror. Yeah,
the dude's got the door open andhe's looking. You couldn't rolled the
window down at least if you've gotto go old school and go like not
the best driver and you gotta stickyour head out, which, by the

(07:06):
way, learn to use your mirrors, just saying that's why they're there.
Yeah, No, Pat Ryan usedto hang out. Pat Ryan used to
hang outside in the car and backthat sucker up my dad. I remember
him. Half his body was hangingout the door, the door open,
looking funny, and I'm like,I'm just sitting there and I sort of
got because I've gotten to a pointin my life where I just stand there

(07:27):
and I just go, what thefuck is happening. I'm literally standing and
watch this guy. I'm shaking myhead and I don't realize I'm shaking my
head. I get into this withAlex a little bit he thinks that it's
some sort of a weird flex ofmine to back in, And I said,
dude, all signs, all signslead to benefits for backing in when
you have a truck. My truck'snot huge, but trucks are just big.

(07:48):
Now trucks are big. They're big, so you know I've got the
big It's a tundrug, not jackedup or nothing like that. Now,
I would say, in the lasttwenty years, the greatest advancement. Now,
if you live up north, you'regonna go heated seats on this one.
Maybe heated steering wheel in the lasttwenty five years. Okay, power

(08:11):
steering power breaks has been around twentyfive years. The backup camera has to
be the absolute greatest thing on thevehicles, right. I mean, there's
some awesome things that now come withvehicles, but the backup camera is the
sickest thing. It's not a flex. It's safer. Alex guse me ship

(08:31):
because he gets stuck behind people thatcan't back up. And I told him,
I said, then maybe I'm justfucking awesome at it. But I
can go. I'm a one takejake, there you go, ye out.
I can do it. But becauseof the cameras, right, So
it's not a flex. Guys,if you're wondering, why is this guy

(08:54):
backing in? Because I don't wantto kill anybody when I fucking leave wherever
it is that I'm parking, Andit's just way. It's absolutely way safer.
Everything about it is better. Asa matter of fact, oil and
gas guys will chime in on this. They have to back in when they
go to work. If they're atthe refinery, you gotta be able to
get out of dodge good point.You absolutely have to back in at some

(09:18):
of these places. It's a rule. So, um, you gotta get
good at that. And I understandif you're you and you're waiting for this
jackass hanging out of his fucking opendoor trying to back in, that guy
needs to. I can see ifit was an Uncle Jesse Duke's a hazard
truck. They got mirrors. Yeah, those got mirrors on him. You're

(09:41):
right, they get mirrors. Youknow what, It's funny, It's like
I come from a line of dudeswho use the mirrors all the time.
In fact, remember one I waslearning to drive my dad, I was
looking out the window trying to backhim and he goes and he says,
stop the car. He goes,if I ever see you do that again,
you'll never drive my car. He'slike, use the mirrors. It's
easier. Once you figure it outand you got your mirror set up,

(10:05):
it's easier. You'll you'll look likea rock star when you back into places.
You're gonna be fine. And I'mlike, this dude had the door
open hanging out. I'm like,he's gonna kill He's gonna chop his fucking
head off, dumbass. So finalthought, Dad was Obi Wan who he
put the mask. He put thehelmet on Luke with the blast shield over
there, and then Luke said theblast shield, I can't say anything.

(10:26):
Yea pruss me, Luke. Usethe false It served me well for many,
many years. So anyway, Ijust wanted to get it out there
because it was gonna and I wouldhave been mad afterwards if I'd forgotten,
because usually I do forget. Thefinal thought. We get there and I'm
like, fuck, I forgot,And you think I could write it down.
That's not happening, dude. Sowhat's this? Uh? What's up
with the Erroosmith Man? Because Iactually went in and listen to some more

(10:46):
Erroosmith after the last episode, anduh, it just got you know what.
I've never been super Aerosmith fan,but I got into a couple of
tunes it were good. Uh.I actually went back and listened to Kings
and Queens again. I forgot howgood that was a great song. It's
an absolute, absolute banger. KennethHarris chimed in very very early on episode

(11:07):
eighty four Aerosmith Top five. Where'sIron Maiden and Feet? Now this is
directly from our YouTube channel, thePlaypants Pod YouTube page, because you can
also listen download you know, whereveryou get your Playpants wherever you get your
podcast, but we're also on YouTube. Kenneth Harris, So, I love

(11:28):
the old stuff. Like my numberone would be Last Child, but not
even a mention of my favorite albumoverall. I loved Nine Lives by far
my favorite album they've ever done.Therefore, my number two would be Ain't
That a Bitch? Three is amazing, four Sweet Emotion, five Living on
the Edge. So many other greatsongs by them, it's hard to only

(11:52):
do five. Welcome to Our Worldone of my favorite bands growing up that
my mother introduced me to another.One of her favorite bands was Triumph.
I don't know if I would upbore you guys, but I would love
to do on top five Triumph.I would absolutely that would be my favorite
podcast ever to say, well,maybe if we did a tragically Hip top
five that would be even more deep, but a Triumph top five would really

(12:16):
would put a smile on my face. You know, we are trying to
get more people to download this,not less, right, you know this
is We're not trying to get less, We're trying to get so it's you
know, And then shout out tocool Karen because she plays by the rules
and she's always commenting and listening.She gives me her top five. And
then you know how like we alwayskind of give you know, well,
here's what came close. Here wasjust like bubbling under people to be bad

(12:41):
at this. Yeah, so sheshe did good, good job, she
did her top five and then andthen proceeded to type out sixty four other
Aerosmith songs. I know they hadsixty four, maybe it was fourteen,
but still, come on, Ithink I think she typed out another fourteen
of her like this is what justmissed fourteen songs, did not just miss

(13:01):
your top five. Gotta him somesort of respect for the for the five,
right, see a couple of acouple of tuns here and there.
But we get long winded after ourtop five two so I can't bust her
balls that much. But thank youguys, man, I really I always
love you guys. Adding um,Kevin was so disappointed my favorite Aerosmith song,

(13:24):
chip Away at the Stone, didnot even get one of your honorable
mentions. Man, that's true.That's a pretty great song. And then
he said Pump is their best secondera album. Um, yeah, and
everybody agreed that Aerosmith with the firstin the second era and we had that
split proper um. But yeah,a couple of songs that we just kind

(13:45):
of totally missed the mark on whichwe'll probably do that again today as we're
getting ready for Mother's Day. We'regonna talk about our mother. Our top
five songs about mothers mentioned mothers mothersin the title. I did run through,
ran through this exercise with my neighbors. I got a little six year
old birthday party going on across thestreet. But before we get into that,

(14:09):
a quick little email from Mark andI get some of these to my
regular radio station and people email mejust rot at the buzz. And there's
been a lot of talk about AIlately, and I don't know what you've
been doing with that or chat GPT. We're not going to sit here and

(14:31):
get into a deep dive on thispodcast, nor would nor would either one
of us I'm sure be able to. But there has been a few things
that have happened in AI with radioand He's saying, listen, I haven't
heard you guys talk at all aboutAI. Rod have heard you mentioned it
on the Houston Show, But I'mjust curious what you and Jason would talk
about on the play Pants podcast ifit's something that you would discuss at all.

(14:54):
I mean, artificial intelligence is it'sit's not to the point where it's
freaking me out, and maybe that'smaybe it should be. Two things that
happened. Number One, my companyhas said that they plan on using AI
to the fullest. Now what doesthat mean if somebody's just tuning in and
I promise we're not going to spenda lot of time on this, but

(15:16):
artificial intelligence is just exactly that.There could be a personality a jock a
DJ on the radio, and itmight not be a human being, and
it would sound like a human beingis talking and what we call front selling
a song. And I think mostpeople that listen to this podcast are at
least knowledgeable enough to know some ofthe terminology in our business. So it

(15:37):
wouldn't be like a for now fornow, everything's for now, wouldn't be
like a full on morning show.But if you hear somebody on the weekends
just kind of getting in and outin front selling songs, and you really
wouldn't do weather, although you probablycould, but you could you could localize
it. It could sound like Hey, Houston, what's going on? And

(15:58):
it wouldn't sound robotic. M Mycompany and other companies have said that we
plan on looking at this and usingit to the fullest. That's got I
mean, people are going to losetheir jobs. You know, these companies
work man, they want to savemoney, and chances are it'll sound pretty
damn good. There there is acompany already that has put together their business

(16:25):
model and are already saying we're providingthe service. So if you have if
you're in a much smaller market,and again, for now, because it
could go on all the way upto the you know, the top ten
markets right now. There is acompany that you can buy a radio personality

(16:48):
from them that would not be real, and they will customize it for you,
probably written by chat, g GPSor GP whatever it is. Um.
I'm not I'm not losing my mindover it. I'm not losing any
sleep over it. But when youhave people like Elon Musk and when you
have people like Steve Jobs and theytalk about like this is the the most

(17:14):
either dangerous or this is the mostum significant advancement since the wheel, you
know that type of thing. Whenthose guys talk, um, it does
get you a little worried. Someguy from Google just quit, Yeah,
and the sole purpose of quitting wasto whistle blow how dangerous what he was

(17:38):
involved in creating. I mean,think about it this way. That's where
I started to lose it a littlebit. I was like, Okay,
if I can write some some promosfor me or and I've I've messed around
with the chat, GP T youor whatever it's called. And I tell
you what, it fucking does agood job. It'll write my ass every
time, And it's frustrating. That'sscary. It's fucking makes me miserable.

(18:00):
You know. It's like you justtype in kind of like a guide of
what do you want, and thenit just fuck goes Lulu and you're like,
oh ooh, that's good shit,I'm out of work, you know
what I mean? That part's scary. If again, like anything else,
if you use it as a tooland you use it for good, it
can enhance things. It can makemy job better, your job better.
When I got freaked out was whenthat dude from Google quit and said this

(18:26):
shit, we ate ready for this. I was just like, how is
it that isn't five minutes from nowthat fucking AI can just start going into
the code and start launching missiles?Like how is it that it can't do
that already? Like that's the partthat's freaking the fuck out. How is
it that someone can go, hey, go do this and break all the
codes and hey, good night,But give me, give me just a

(18:49):
time frame off the top of yourhead, when will in the top fifty
markets. So New York is numberone, LA is two, New Orleans,
Chicago is three, New Orleans isfifty. To give you an idea,
so all the other cities that youcan think of Minneapolis and Saint Louis

(19:11):
and Buffalo and blah blah blah,all these cities. Okay, they're all
they're all in there, right,Well, Buffalo might be smaller, Buffalo
sixty. Geez. I know howlong until top fifty markets are using artificial
intelligence on the just let's just saythe weekends so that you don't have to

(19:33):
pay anybody to come in on theweekends, which they don't know anyways.
What month is this we're in?What month we're in? May? Yeah?
Do you think by the end ofthe year, Yeah, artificial intelligence
voices will be heard on radio stationsin the top fifty markets. Man,

(19:55):
I tell you highly likely. Iwould say we will hear it by the
end of the year, because thesecompanies want to save a buck. Look,
I would be guilty of it ifthey say, Guinty, we've got
this service through our company. It'sAI. You could throw it on on
the weekends. I could have anovernight jock again, are you kidding me?

(20:15):
To get all my promotional shit andthis concerts coming up and all that
stuff. I'd fucking be the firstguy to go figure it out, because
I would make my because I onlyhave X number of humans right, I
got ship piped in. It's likeif I could take what I do and
if I had more people, likein the old days we used to have
people. We used to have anovernight jock at seven at midnight jock and

(20:36):
all the ship like a live bodyin the room in the room if this
think, I think ninety percent ofthe people that are listening to this podcast
right now think that when you hearsomebody on the radio. I think a
lot of people feel that that personis standing there in real time and they're
talking to them between even three pmand seven pm. And I can tell

(20:59):
you that, and Jason doesn't mindtelling you no it in most cases that
person is not live in most cases. And that's on through the top ten
markets, of which Houston is Idon't know six or something like things.
Yeah, you know what, Here'swhy I say this will be sooner than
later. Remember when we started doingvoice tracking back was it fifteen years ago?

(21:21):
It started happening, They started takingit and do it in smaller markets,
and we got the computer software andeveryone's like, oh, it'll probably
just be like weekends and into smallmarkets. And then now we'll look at
it. You know, New Yorkhas got voice tracking, Chicago's got voicetracking.
And what he means by that isvoice tracking is prerecorded, all going
in ahead of time. Yea,hey man, what's up here is imagine

(21:41):
dragons on your favorite radio station hitit. Yep, you lay that down
and then that could be played fourhours later, that could be played a
week later. Yeah, absolutely,and you wouldn't know the difference. It
sounds great because it's an art forVoice tracking is a different way of doing
radio, and it works, andI have no problem with it. I
do it. There's been times whenI've had to go to meetings because I
gotta fucking go to meetings, andI'll go do an hour and I'm doing

(22:04):
my show. I'm sitting in ameeting and I'm on the air at the
same time. It's it's the natureof the beast right now because you don't
have as many people as you usedto. So I would take this AI
and I would have an overnight jock, and I would have all kinds of
weekend shit going on. I youknow what, I've already got it figured
out what I want to do.I can't wait where is it, but
it might be funas is looking forwardto it. It freaks me out in

(22:26):
the way that what we do asfar as the rod Ryan Show, I
mean, it's not happening everywhere likethat. I mean there's plenty of morning
shows that are now just voice trackedand just more music. And you know,
we still do something that four livebodies come together and it is live.

(22:48):
It is without a net, itis unscripted, it is it is
reality TV before reality TV. It'sreality radio. I mean, that's exactly
what we do every morning, andand that's been going on for a long
long time. And I get it, man, it's a I'm it's a
dying thing, you know. Imean, it's still very successful. But

(23:11):
they just like you said, everybusiness out there wants to cut corners.
We just did a story today AMCmovie theaters. They don't want to pay
Smarties or they don't want to payTwizzlers for their candy. The candy companies
are charging too much and that they'renot going to pay more for candy and

(23:33):
not charge you more for your movieticket. So they're trying to do everything
they can to keep the movie ticketdown so you're not gonna get twizzlers.
You're gonna get jizzlers. You know, they're gonna come up with their own
candies now, So it's not gonnabe it's not gonna be smarties. It's
gonna be dummies, you know,and you know, sour patch children,
that sort of thing. It's notlike the Buddy systems. Everyone's looking to

(23:56):
cut corners everywhere. Radio has beendoing this for a long long time.
They are cutting corners. We arerunning these radio stations so unbelievably lean.
I'm just happy to do what Ido. I just want to make this
very clear. Do I want todo it? No? Would I rather
have a bunch of live human beingswho are uber talented like I do,
and have more of them? It'sjust not fuckinglutely, it's not in your

(24:18):
budget. It's not your fault.Of course, you want live bodies.
You would love to hire a tonof people. I would love to have
ten people on my morning show.I would love to have somebody that researches
some of the shit we talk about, so at least we sound like we're,
you know, somewhat intelligent. Us. Yeah, well that's the problem,
man, But but what I yeah, you know, what if they

(24:38):
said, Ginze, we want youto run post point on this fucking thing
for our company. I'd be like, all right, I'll get this figured
out, man, because, believeme, I can. I can find
ways. I mean, I've goteveryone on my team is super fucking talented
and awesome, and we just findways to get shit done. And sometimes
it's very unique, but we getwe make it sound huge with very little.

(25:00):
That's the goal. And if Icould get some voices and they'd have
to sound good, believe me,they're gonna have to have a certain quality
level and all that shit. Butif I can figure out how to program
it where it's banging through the tunesand nobody can tell the difference, you
bet your ass. I'm doing itbecause it's going to ultimately help me get
more ratings and more revenue. Andthere you go. That's all My job
is ratings and revenue. The restof it. How we do it don't

(25:22):
matter. Good afternoon, everybody.This is Jason Ginte, right, and
here comes linkin Park. Thanks forlistening. But that's the thing. If
they got it so it doesn't soundlike that, you know, and I
don't think it will. I thinkit Oh it doesn't great. There was
a guy we were talking about howthey're they. I didn't want to talk

(25:45):
all this. I didn't want totalk this long about it. But I'll
say one final thing and then yousay whatever you want. They can clone
like they do these deep fake videosand they put your faces on these other
videos, and I love looking atthem. I can't. It's unbelievable.
They put Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice on allthese different movie characters and his voice and

(26:07):
everything, and I love these videos, these YouTube videos. These deep fakes
are unbelievable. The stuff with TomCruise and when Bill Hayter, They've got
old clips of him doing all thesedifferent voices on you know, like on
talk shows, and then the facechanges. These deep fakes are unbelievable.
They don't need to go in andget you saying all these words, and

(26:27):
they chop and pace that was olddays. They need you talking for about
twenty seconds, So start the timer. Here we go. Hey, what's
up man, My name is rodRyan. Listen. This is the Playpants
Podcast. I appreciate everybody being heretoday. You can get this podcast wherever

(26:48):
you download podcast. We'd love foryou to watch the YouTube channel where you
can actually see us and see howsilly we look as we're talking to you.
That was twenty seconds, right.They can take that and they can
create conversations with my voice. Theguy did it. He took something that
I was talking about on the airand he's like, hey man, it's
robbed Ryan blah blah blah blah.It sounded like me, dude. And

(27:10):
then he made us and then hemade us fake liners and I can't remember
it he did um, I can'tremember what celebrity he did, but he
says, hey, this is suchand such and you're listening to the Rod
Ryan Show on the bus. Itwas not that person, and it wasn't
It wasn't you know, a greatimpressionist like Bill Hater or something like that.

(27:30):
It was done on his computer,on a free software program that is
available to everybody. Now. Idon't know if I should be mentioning this,
but we actually had from the topdown saying we cannot as DJ's use
that shit on the air. Likeso if I want to have, if
I want to go fake an interviewwith fucking you know, Freddie Mercury,

(27:52):
I could do it now through AIokay or a living rock star. You
know, chances are I'm never gonnaget an interview with David Lee Roth or
you know whatever. As an example, I can have one. Now,
I can do it through AI andour company said, look, you are
not to do that at all.Wow, Because the fear is is that

(28:15):
all these celebrities now could go comeback and sue the radio company because hey,
that wasn't me, and you're usingtheir like this. And that's where
this gets scary as shit, man, because now guess what, I'm endorsing
fucking bombs, you know what Imean. Next thing, you know,
rod Ryan bro is endorsing this productthat's killing people, or rod Ryan loves
Jisslers, you know, and it'slike, wait, no, I don't

(28:37):
love Jisslers, you know. Sothat's where it's gonna get. You gotta
do what you gotta do late atnight, but things happen. Well,
I'm going to stop us because itreally it's it's insane and I don't know
how many people find it fascinating,how many people think that it's something to
be worried about or excited about.Mark, I appreciate the email. Well,

(29:03):
what must imagine my sister had thesame discussion you know at General Motors
when they were rolling in the robots. You know, I mean, Sue
is still on the line at GeneralMotors. You know, she's on the
line. There are things that humansneed to do still to assemble that Corvette
engine. But the amount of automationthat's in there now, she says,

(29:26):
it keeps getting more and more andmore. And you know, so these
conversations have been happening for a longtime in so many different industries, but
this is such a personal not onlypersonal to us, but for artificial intelligence
to have a personality, you know, and and to be writing things and
to be thinking about things, thatis fucking scary. And yeah, that

(29:52):
is the whole thing of a terminatortaken over. Well that's where like we
gotta end it. We gotta ended. But I wanted to say this.
It's it's very just heartening when ohthis AI and literally this is all coming
out of like it's been around fora while, but like the last few
months, it's really kind of exploded. Yeah, then you're hearing things about
the government going we should have ameeting about this. I'm like, the
fucking door is open and the horsesare long gone. We're fucked that with

(30:19):
what's happening in this text, Ithink about it. We went from we
went from you know that old shittyTV, and then we got VCRs,
and then we got CDs and DVDsand then your iPhones, and it's like
it moves very quickly, and itjust seems to move faster and faster and
faster again. It's the old.If it give a use for good,
I'm all for it. It's whatcan it be due to fuck things up?

(30:40):
That's where it gets really scary.You know, we need superheroes,
that's what we need. Hey,uh, it's Sid Vicious's birthday today.
Were you ever did you ever havea moment of time where you got into
punk and you got into the sexpistol? Did you have a moment a

(31:00):
big safety pins on my nose?Yeah, back in the day, no,
I fucking you know what. Iwas too young for when the sex
pistols were hot and like seventy seven, it didn't resonate. I was six,
so it didn't make any sense.Well he you know, but punk
for me it hit me. Ofcourse. The sex pistols had come and

(31:23):
gone already, and I wasn't listeningto the Sex Pistols in nineteen seventy seven.
But you know, when you gotinto high school and you started,
you know, rebelling and looking forthings and doing everything. You know,
your metal head and you started thesepunk kids were kind of cool, and
you started listening to what you know. And I had I had a year
and a half, two years whereI really kind of immersed myself into it

(31:44):
and man, I was I mean, I was into it. I was
into it, man, the sexPistols. That was a big, big
deal for me. I just sawSid Vicious. Yeah, he died of
a heroin overdose. I think maybethat's the anniversary today of him passing.
Um my neighbor I asked him aboutthe sex Pistols. There was a maybe
a five or six part series thatwas done by Danny Boyle, who's really

(32:07):
really well known. He's done alot of great stuff. But it was
called Pistol and it was on FXand nobody talked about it. Nobody talked
about it, and he said hewatched it. He said it's amazing.
So I'm putting that on my hitlist. I didn't want to get into
a whole thing about the sex pistols, but he said it's really, really
good. I'm fascinated by the band. It's I want to know more about

(32:30):
it. I think I've read acouple of books on it. And Jonesy
is still around. The guitar player, Steve Jones still does radio out in
Los Angeles. Yeah, and youknow, he's this iconic guy on the
radio and he has people come inand he jams with them and stuff.
Yeah, it's a pretty amazing storyfor a band that had one album.

(32:52):
And you have Noel Gallagher, whowrote six or seven Oasis albums, and
he said, he goes, Iwould trade it all for one if I
could, if I could have thesongs from never Mind the Bullocks, think
about think about what he wrote.He said, I would trade them all
for that one album. Jesus Um. I don't get it, man.

(33:12):
I've tried to listen to that shitand it's like, I just I love
it, you know, I triedto love it, listen to everything,
and I'm just like, Okay,got it. I mean, I don't
know it just it never resonated withme. That never fucking resonated. I
always thought, like sid Vich,I said, these guys are just a
bunch of fucking assholes. Yeah,you had ethic. I get it.
I guess that's the punk thing.But it's like you had to be young,

(33:34):
you, I mean you there's certainlyI don't think there's any latent life
punks, you know, but ifit hits you at a point where you
are rebellious and you're I mean,it's meant to be young. Everything is
geared towards young and revolt and everything. Um. And I probably got into
it late, and I was,you know, seventeen eighteen, you know,
and I started to get into it, and then I started listening to

(33:57):
stuff like Bad Brains, and youknow, that stuff really did bridge right
into it, bridged beautifully into Jane'saddiction and into into what happened, you
know, with with grunge and Nirvana. Um, it is it's a It's
a really natural bridge when you lookat the history of music. So yeah,
the sex pressol is very important.Uh, just throwing it out there.

(34:17):
Um, I'm gonna watch I'm gonnaput that. That's on my watch
list. I gotta get done withthis fucking Succession show. Are you watching
Succession? I watched the first fewepisodes. I kind of get bored.
I just was like, yeah,are horrible people, dude, these are
horrible people. I want I can'twait for it to be over. I
can't wait it more horrible people.There's enough horrible people in the world.

(34:37):
I yeah, fucking watch more.But I think that's what all television is
now. It's it's it's about makingyou anxious. I don't I mean,
that does seem to be the goalof these TV shows now. It's the
anxiety. Yeah, these are horriblefucking people. I hate everybody on that
show. I like Greg, He'sthe one guy like sorry, that's it,

(35:00):
the only guy like everyone else.They're horrible people, and Greg's even
a piece of shit, but Ilike them. Well, when you when
everyone's a piece of shit, youknow you've you've got a new perspective.
The bar has been changed. Sothe least piece of shit is kind of
your favorite guy. And it's scarywhen you think about it. When you
break it back down body, theguy's still an asshole. But that's what's
so great about TV like that.Yeah, I've been watching The Fuck is

(35:21):
the Zombie Show? The Last ofUs? Right? Okay, I finished
that. I thought it was good. I don't think it's great. I
thought it was good. It's notgreat, but I like how they do.
And I'm not going to ruin anythinghere. If you haven't watched it,
no spoiler alerts. But I likehow each episode really kind of takes
a different story, you know,And I think that's pretty cool how they
weave it all together. Well,it's like the video game. You're in
different rooms and you're in different campaignsand whatever. I mean, so people

(35:43):
that play the video game, whichthat video game just went into the Video
Game Hall of Fame in Rochester,New York this week. Last of Us
has been around. I this avideo game. It's been around for a
long long time. But I mean, but this Pascal guy is everywhere.
Great, Pedro Pascal, He's themaster. And by the way, I've

(36:04):
got it figured out. Dude,I know what we're doing. You and
I here's what we're gonna do.Okay, We're gonna do mushrooms and drive
around like him and uh Nicholas Cageand a convertible. That's a better idea
than I just had. I gottabe honest. That sounds fucking great,
dude. We should do that.But no, um no, you know
what we're gonna do it. We'regonna rewrite Cannonball Run and Pedro Pascal is

(36:27):
basically Burt Reynolds. You look athim, and every time I look at
him with a mustache, I'm like, that's fucking Burt Reynolds. Put a
cowboy head on that dude. He'sBurt fucking Reynolds when you look at him.
I never saw it until right now. You're on. I'm like,
Run, We're gonna redo Hooper.We're gonna do all of it. Man,
We're gonna go out there and we'regonna do the whole Burt Reynolds catalog,
and we're gonna make it better,you know, re envision it,

(36:51):
and then this dude's just gonna befucking doing Burt Reynolds movies for the rest
of his life. I do thinkthat you could. I do think that
you could bring back smoking in theBandit. Come on. It would be
a tough one, but you coulddo it more modern. But you gotta
do it right, you know whatI mean? But Hooper, are you
kidding me? Hooper is a greatfucking movie, But nobody knows Hooper.
You would have to if he's goingto go in that direction. He's got
to be the bandit dude. Acannonball run. There's gotta be a way

(37:15):
you could do it, man,it would have to be done Ocean's eleven
style. You know, if youget a Listers. I was gonna say,
if you can get a Listers,and if you could get ben Affleck,
and if you could get you know, all of it, you could
get everybody to take their salaries andcut it in quarter and then just say,
listen, we got everybody in,we're low balling it, and we're
gonna do a cannonball run. Thatwould be awesome. I think that'd be

(37:37):
awesome. You got your Bert runolds. I've got Pedro pretty much locked in
for the next twenty years with allthis, although I think he's doing okay
so it doesn't eat my dumbads helpinghim. I think I've eaten too many
dummies, way too many dummies.So ron I was doing so. I
was just looking at shit for totalk about tonight, because you know,
there wasn't much out there today.Is it a rough put? Man?

(37:57):
Tell you about doing the research.Some days you're like, well, buck
well, we've been blathering for anhour about nothing. That's every episode,
dude, it seems to be someshit to talk about every fucking episode.
Well, we could do that tomorrowwith it down with a beer or drinking
or eating mushrooms, cruising around ina convertible. So I just I stumbled
across this thing about Southern stereotypes.And I don't want to go too far

(38:22):
down this because I think it'll getus in trouble. But I thought it'd
be interesting from our perspective as Yanksfrom Buffalo, New York, moving to
the South twenty six years ago,and we've had a long time to be
in the South. We had along time up north. And I want
to start with is Houston. Iguess it's in the South, But Houston

(38:45):
feels Texas. It doesn't feel southern. Is that a fair assessment? Because
when I think of southern, Ithink South Carolina, all of Louisiana,
Mississippi, Louisiana, parts of Florida, the goal that always feel southern to
me. The rest of it,you get the Texas, it feels different.
I don't know if that's Texas isTexas. It's so because because I've

(39:08):
lived all three now think about that, you know, I've you know,
grew up up north, lived inthe South. Now I live in Texas.
Yeah. Now, when we livedin Buffalo, Texas was the South,
right, Yeah, everything below,like Pennsylvania was the fucking South.
Correct, correct, it was.I didn't go anywhere. Yeah, I

(39:30):
mean there's a lot of things thatcarry over, the hospitality and stuff like
that. But yeah, Texas isits own thing, you know. For
for love or hate, it's itsown thing, that's for sure, man,
right right. So one of thethings that you know, the Southern
draw you know that that that Southernaccent, which really is interesting because in

(39:51):
New Orleans we don't have it.It's not in New Orleans. The Southern
draw that hey, y'all, that'sreally the South, Carolina, Georgia,
you know, Alabama, missipiything.New Orleans is like a circle. You
can cut out New Orleans and we'rejust a separate world, okay, from
the South. We are not theSouth. You come to New Orleans,
it is not the South. Itis its own world. We would always

(40:12):
joke that it was Mars. Itwas another planet. It basically is,
and believe me, every damn remindedof it. But you could draw a
large circle around New Orleans, andit's almost like a cliff. You just
go right through this wall and nowyou're in the South, and then you
leave, you come back, you'rein New Orleans. So the big thing
about the South is, of course, all we eat down here is fried
food. Fried food is everywhere,fried catfish, fried chicken, fried everything.

(40:37):
Which is why in the South,and there's a lot of correlations here
is you know, we're the heartattack capitol down here in the Deep South.
It's because of the fried food.Now, is it a stereotype,
I know, it's it's the fuckingtruth. It's it's all about the fried
food. And I see it inrestaurants and I haven't had fried food in

(40:57):
so long. I boil things,you know, crawfish oils. I give
them fried food a long time ago. It is the same thing in Texas.
Are you frying every fucking thing?You're shrimp and you're fish and shit,
Yeah, you know it would bebarbecue first, right and then fried
second, you know, but yeah, barbecue by far and away. Everything

(41:19):
is in a fucking smoker here.I mean everything is in a smoker.
Everything is smoked. Yeah, there'sa lot of just it's a lot of
everything here. But you're right asfar as there's definitely a difference between the
fried food there and the amount offried food here. It's just not everything
is fried in New Orleans. It'sbrutal. When you go to a restaurant,

(41:42):
you just see this fucking everything crablegs. Everything's fried. They're just
fucking legs of all kinds of creaturesfried. It's like Jesus, you wonder
why people look like they do inNew Orleans. Man, the soft shell
crab I could never get. Icould never get into the soft shell crab,
just eating a fucking head of acrab and the legs and everything,
and like the outer part now Irealized, like the country part is kind

(42:05):
of gone. But I just couldnever get. I could never get into
soft shell crabs. I thought itwas thought they were disgusting. First time
I had it. It's just socrab. Ooh boys, someone ordered it.
So you get the soft shell crabhere, And I've only been in
New Orleans about six months, andI go, okay, I did,
And I look at it. I'mlike, well, this motherfucking thing's fried.
But then it's got the it's gotall the shit on it. The
shell. Yeah, I got thething peeled apart, and I'm operating on

(42:29):
this thing trying to eat the stuff, and the dude's like, the fuck
are you doing? Just picking upand eat it. I'm like, it's
got all this stuff on it.And that's the last time I ever had
soft shell crab. I couldn't doit. I couldn't get over that ship
man. One more, two morethings. The South loves country music.
It's all about country music down herein the Deep South, man, which
actually, if you think about it, it's not that's the stereotype. You

(42:51):
know. The South loves its countrymusic. It does, and a lot
of that music comes from the South. But country is huge all over the
country nowadays. It's fucking massive.Ye oh yeah, yeah, yeah shit.
Oh. The Bible Belt. Ican't really speak to this one,
but it's the South is known asa Bible Belt. I don't know if

(43:12):
it's like that in Texas. Idon't go to church very often ever,
so I don't know. Is churchstill getting populated to people still go to
church. I'm bad. I thinkthe church nationally probably is in crisis right
now because people aren't finding the timeto go and do it. Not they

(43:34):
just don't have the discipline. Aton of people go to church, right,
A ton of my friends go tochurch. I grew up going to
church. I didn't. I don'tas an adult. Yeah, I think
church. I think the church populationis way down. But then you then
you talk about Houston though, andwe got Joel Olstein, who his church

(43:55):
is where the Rockets used to play. His church. Think about that for
a second. You're what Smoothie KingCenter, our Toyota Center which used to
be the Compact Center, which isnow where Joel Alstein holds Sunday Mass.
It's in a fucking arena. It'sa seventeen thousand seat arena. Now you

(44:17):
do notice it's not full. WhenI got here, it was full pre
pandemic, probably a little before thepandemic it was full. And then I
think the pandemic also everyone took ahit. Everything has changed and we're in
a different world now. But Ithink people just said, you know what,

(44:37):
kind of didn't go to church fora year and a half. Let's
just not go to church anymore.I think the I think church attendance is
down nationally. Is that really church? Those big fucking places like that that
doesn't feel that feels like there's justa money grab there, you know what
I mean. I guess I meansomething out of it. It's okay,
I'm not I'm not shooting out.If you go to this thing, that's

(44:59):
fine, you do you. Butso Joel's Joel Olstein does not have a
one eight hundred number on the screen, and he doesn't ask for money.
He doesn't look in the camera andsay, send me money. Right,
So it's a little bit different thanwhat seven hundred Club and some of those
other guys used to do back inthe day when you had Jim Baker and

(45:21):
all those other places. Joel isa little different, don't get me wrong.
People are sending him a ton ofmoney. I don't know where he's
asking for it, but they're sendingit to him. But he does not
even have a one eight hundred number, and I don't think even a website
up on that screen, even inthe corner. I don't think he has
it somehow, To believe me,people are sending that dude money because somebody's

(45:44):
funding that thing. Yeah, that'sa lot of money though, just to
keep the lights done. Oh god, yeah, I mean, like he
does he own the building now oris he just like rent that shit out.
No, it's his it's his endthat show his sermon. You probably
have it on your TV on Sundaymorning. I mean, it's a nationally
syndicated mass that he does so becausehe does say, he's like, hey

(46:08):
man, when you're if you're herein Houston, please become a part of
the audience that's carried everywhere that's notin New York. It's not in Buffalo
on Sunday afternoon, you know,from from here. So there's megachurches that
are still packed, you know.But I think I think there is something

(46:29):
to the Bible Belt. I thinkthere is still when you get deep into
some of these Carolinas the world,there's still some very very Bible Belt things
that are happening down here. AndI think if you looked at church attendance
regionally, the South has probably takenthe least hit as far as attendance,

(46:49):
right, But I think the numbersare down everywhere. You know, what,
what if AI comes for Joel Ulstein, see that's there, you go,
it could well, well, Idon't know that you're gonna have to
get into holograms then too. Imean, because it's him. We got
it. People are going to seehim. Yeah, that's true. I
was throwing that back around. I'mlike, yeah, this this AI think

(47:10):
and fuck everything up. But maybehe just becomes like Oz and like just
fucking Joel Olstein's big fucking head.It's just me and then he's got the
fucking flames going on everything, justlike Oz. I don't think the AI
voice. They can just do anormal voice that doesn't have to be big,
creepy, scary guy. I don'tthink if you're gonna be the big

(47:32):
head like Oz, you gotta youknow, you gotta have the big head,
you know, the little AI guybehind the levers, behind the curtain.
Dude, I think there's any leversof the AI. I think it's
just it's just they're doing its ownthing. Man. Oh, one's got
a program. It's somewhere crazy behindthe curtain. Somewhere, Okay, somebody.
I don't care if they're a computerprogrammer, they're behind the curtain.
Okay. One more thing on theSouth, women are hotter in the South.

(47:55):
They are good lord and more friendlyyet more friendly, let me tell
you very friendly. Now. Idon't know. Listen, it's two generations.
Okay, we left, we weregen X, that was it.
Boom. Millennials have now come andgone in Buffalo, and now gen Z

(48:19):
is out there in Buffalo where welived. I don't know how they act,
but I can tell you the assholesthat were our age. A girl
that was a five in Houston wasacting like an eleven in Buffalo and completely
unapproachable. Yeah, fucking mean,they were mean, man. Yeah,

(48:43):
well, I mean, I listen, I'm not making time with any of
them, but at least the hotones here they feel like you got a
chance. They're nicer about it.Just mean up north. Yeah, but
I get shit all the time still, after all these years in the South.
My wife's like, oh, there'sthe Buffalo. There's the Buffalo,
and you cold, ah, urseto the point, you know, not

(49:08):
friendly and warm. I'm like,yeah, well, that's just that's how
I grew up. That's how everybodywas. No hugging, no kissing,
it was just fucking we got shitdone. It was all about the biz.
There's no touchy feely, and I'vehad to soften that over the years,
and I still still got that Buffalofucking let's go, motherfucker, let's
go, you know, and Iget ship. My wife gives me.

(49:29):
Would you relax? You have tobe so damn direct all the time.
Didn't you watch the no Way Guyfrom Canada? You know what, I
gotta go find that dude. Ilove that dude. Did you watch any
of these videos for fuck's sake?Ah? Yeah, it could have been

(49:50):
any of our buddies that we drankwith. He watches some hack on the
internet and then he's like, whatno way goes for fuck's sake, meaning
there's no way that works. Andthen he goes and he tries it.
Something simple in his garage, somethingit could be. It could be something
in a caulking gun or something.You know, he's a worker guy.

(50:15):
Just every video, every video hesays, for fuck's sake, and it's
just such a northern thing. Andnow he's full blown can't Canadian, So
I mean he sounds I get it. I get called Canadian all the time.
I'm an American, by the way, But man, look up the
no Way Guy. Just you lookhim up on Facebook. He's so funny.

(50:37):
I'm telling you, you cannot watchone of his videos, You've got
to watch eight of them. They'reso unbelievably funny of the exact same thing.
He does the exact same thing.He just tries something different each time.
But there was a black guy thatwas really doing well on YouTube or
I'm sorry, yeah, no,it was Instagram reels. He was the

(50:58):
black guy and when somebody did somethingupid, he would do like a normal
application of it. And he hada real expressive face. He was any
black guy guy, and he wouldjust and he would just present his hands
like all he had to do wasjust turn off the knobs on your on
your fawcet and he would point withhis hands right. He was grazy.
This is the Canadian version of thatof a guy. You know. It's
so fair and shit, you knowwhat's funny. As I watched him,

(51:22):
going, oh my god, thisliterally is me fumbling around doing shit in
my in my dad's garage as akid, and he'd come out and go
he would just give you that andhe'd go like this, and then he'd
show you the little trick and you'relike what, No, I hadn't felt

(51:43):
that way. I have not heardone Texan. I've not heard one person
from Louisiana want not one New Orleaniansay for fuck's sake, just doesn't happen.
Man, It's just something that saida lot up there, and uh,
it's just really really funny that hekeyed in on that as his like

(52:05):
complete it's his catch He's got threecatchphrases, but that's one of them,
and it's just I look forward tohim saying it every time. He's great.
He is fucking great, and it'sso true. Like the shit he
does, it's like it's all simplestuff and you're like, oh, like,
I've learned three things from that dudejust by watching his videos with Oh,
I didn't know that about a cuckinggun? What the hell it was?
How it cut the tip off?Yeah, he's like what he like

(52:29):
he couldn't use in such disbelief thatthere's a little thing he cuts the tip
you don't need. I always usethis like scissors or a knife and end
up cutting half my hand off.I want to hang out with that guy,
dude with a lot of fun.I so want to hang out with
that guy. He tries to useuse his w D forty to take pain
off of a truck. It's like, what, no way, for fuck's

(52:51):

Yeah, okay, then anyway,yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(57:35):
and I think when I throw theseover to you, you panic, You're
like, there can't be that many, and then you spend two minutes and
then you say, oh, okay, yeah, this wasn't so bad.
There's a million. I spent abouta minute thirty on this one, and
I was, come on, Iwas struggling, dude, he struggled on
this. I did. But Ithink once you start talking about it,
I'm gonna be like, oh,yeah, I forgot that one, forgot

(57:57):
that one, forgot this one,forgot that one. Yeah, No,
I dug a round. I foundsome shit. So my neighbors were all
out there. I mentioned earlier,there's a six year old birthday party,
kind of an impromptu thing. Heyman, just would you come out and
sing and blah blah, you know, you just kind of need that.
Everybody's here for everyone's kids. Anduh so, I tell Matt, my
neighbor, I'm like, dude,top five Mother's Days coming up, Top

(58:19):
five mother songs. And they knowthe podcast, they know the format,
we do top fives. I don'tthink they've never listened. And what does
Matt says, day had time tolisten to your dumb podcast. I lived
next door to you. You say, enough dumb shit over the fence.
What do I want to get ashow in my ears through headphones? I'm

(58:40):
like, dude, top five mothersongs and he goes he starts dancing you
sexy motherfuck. I'm like, no, that's great, like maybe some rock
songs. That's the first thing thatcomes out of your face. That's a
good one, though, says mom. Yeah, it counts, it counts.

(59:00):
What is that song? Good?It's a print song. Oh it's
good. It's fukay. Yeah,you want to you want to get a
party turned? Put that on,dude, put that one on. People
lose their minds. It's great song. It's got some potty words in it,
but it's a good song. Andthen the next thing out of his
face was Mama, Mia, myabba counts. I mean he was spewing

(59:25):
counts. That's just a shitty song. I know I'm down for some abba,
but mama, you know what itis. I think that stupid movies
ruined it for me. When Isaw him singing that and dancing in Greece,
I was like, you can holda gun to my head. I
wouldn't watch that movie. I wantnothing to do with that. Or I
never saw it. I never sawit, never gonna don't care who wants

(59:47):
to go first. Let me gofirst, because mine's gonna suck. You
mean it's gonna suck. Let mejust start with I meanumber five. You
spend a minute and a half ona list, of course it's gonna suck.
Yeah, it's about how I doeverything though, all right, number
five, number five, I knowit doesn't it's not about your mom.

(01:00:08):
But I was actually listening to ittoday, and I've been a year away
from classic rock, right, soI've got some cleansing that's happened. I
haven't listened to a lot of classicrock. I feel like a judgment coming
here, okay, and please,I actually heard for the first time in
about a year Bohemian Rhapsody from Queenthat was brought up at in my dad's

(01:00:30):
circle. That was certainly brought up. I put it number five because I
knew it's a little fringe. It'snot about your mom, but mama me,
and I'm like, you know thewhole brand. Mama just killed man.
It's a story. He's confessing tohis mother that he fucked up.
It absolutely counts your five. Gotabout how great that song was, but
I don't need to hear it againfor a while. So that's number five.

(01:00:52):
Bohemian Rhapsody from Queen's just gonna writedown Queen, so I don't forget
that was number five. Number four. Wow, I really wet classic on
this one. Mother's Little Helper fromthe Rolling Stones. It's a great song.
It's a great song. I don'tknow it has much to do with

(01:01:12):
Mom. I didn't really pay attentionto the lyrics, but I love the
song Mother's Little Helper. You don'thear it a lot. It's a great
jukebox too. If you get intoa bar Mother's Little Helper from the Stones.
Do you know what the song's about. No, they look it up.
I had a minute and a half. It's about mom's taking drugs.
Yeah, see it is cool.I knew Mother's Little Helper is, you
know, and this has been goingon forever. Mother's Little Helper is the

(01:01:35):
thing that gets you through the braddykids and the frozen steaks and whatever they
else. They say, I'm nota lyric guy either, and it's one.
It's specifically about a drug that wastaken in the sixties, buy Moms,
and you know, they would callhim happy pills, and it just
got you through the day. Andthat's what kept a smile on your face.
And you greeted your husband when hecame home from work, and you

(01:01:58):
had braddy kids all day. Mother'sLittle Helper were the where the pills?
Brilliant, brill Yeah, you're handin the husband the high ball, You
take off his shoes, you rubhis feet, you make sure his laundry's
done. I got you, No, I get it, man, Mother's
Little Helper great song. I waslooking at it just as a song standpoint
that the lyrics are great. Numberthree Lenny Kravitz always on the run.

(01:02:22):
Now, before you start saying what, the song has a lot of advice
from his mother to him in it, So that's why it's a bit of
Roxy Roker. Roxy Roker did JeffersonShe played the neighbor married to the white
guy that was like a big dealin the early seventies, or was at
mid seventies, late seventies, midmid to late seventies. Tom Willis was

(01:02:45):
the honkey that lived next door.You can't say honky anymore? Can you
not say honky? I don't know. I love that word, though.
I think calling a white dude tohonky should be brought back because it was
the honky. Now it's so,what was the English guy that always needed
spices that came over? Oh yeah, that weird guy. Man, he

(01:03:06):
was always just fucking weird. Butthey were you know what, when you
think about it, Normal Lear whocreated the series, his diversity was brilliant.
That ship wasn't happening on that TV. You had a black woman Mary
do a white honkey. You hada weird British guy, you had a
rich black couple who you know whatI mean? That ship wasn't happening on
TV and they were moving on upbecause they were moving on up from being
Archie Bunker's neighbors. Yea. Andthen the Cleaning Store hit and then you

(01:03:30):
know, yeah it was that wasa great show. That was a great
show, so great, So yeah, Lenny Kravitz absolutely hum Number three,
number two, My mo I'm ComingHome Ozzy Osbourne? Did you hear her
the cover song that came out thisweek? Who did it? Uh?
So? I don't know what they'redoing at Sirius XM, but Stern they

(01:03:52):
must have some new studios that openedup in Miami, and somehow they got
the old man to go down there. So Stern Stern did a couple of
days from Miami, which Holly gothim down there. But he had a
bunch of special guests and Carrie Underwoodwas one of the guests and they got
her to do and they must haveshe had to learn the song and they
had to get the arrangement right.She did, Mama, I'm Coming Home.

(01:04:15):
It's pretty fucking great. Wow,it's a great song. I mean,
she can sing the phone book,you know, it doesn't matter,
but that song, I've I wantto be on record as being the guy
that said it. Set it onmy radio show. I'll say it here
that nobody listens to. There areso many hair metal ballads that are just
waiting to be picked up by Christinaand all of these pop tarts, these

(01:04:42):
huge songs that are basically just popsongs that were done by these hair metal
bands. There's fifteen of them thatwould be massive. Kelly Clarkson could do
a whole album of them and itcould take her career, her singing career
to like the next level and shedon't need any help. But she's another
one that I think her voice isjust you know, it's I think it's

(01:05:02):
just next level, much like youknow Ozzie that song It isn't that hair
met Azzie's not really hair metal,but that song came out in that time
period when they were putting out allthese power ballads. All of these power
ballads are absolutely ripe to be redoneby Iggy Azalea and all the other ones

(01:05:24):
that are out there right now.Oh, I agree. And it's funny
because like Dolly Parton just released thetrack listing for her rock album. Yeah,
I mean I thought, oh,maybe she's gonna get it on this
track. Now she's just doing thesame little tired fucking songs. I don't
know it's gonna I don't. Imean, I listen to it, but
I'm hoping there's at least one ortwo cool songs in there. I mean,
I love Dolly and what she's done, but I'm just looking at it.
It's like, oh, we're gonnado a Journey song. It's oh,

(01:05:45):
really, are you? But withSteve Perry and everybody Steve Perry.
Yeah, No, I mean there'sgonna I can't shoot on it because I
haven't listened to it. So anyway, Number two, Mama, I'm coming
home. Number one, and thisis a deep cut that most people are
not gonna fucking get, so mightwill do the Triumph Top five. This
band out of Canada called The GloriousSons have a song from twenty fourteen called

(01:06:08):
Mama, and it's fucking great.It's all about their mom, a great
song down by the River and allthis shit. Dude, I'm telling you
right now, if you don't listento that song after the podcast is over,
by the way Glorious Sons, Mama, you're gonna be like You're gonna
be like just shuffling around and you'regonna be excited about it. You're just
gonna it's a great song. It'sa great fucking band. That's my number

(01:06:30):
one and there you go. Firsttwo Glorious Sons albums are amazing, unbelio
and nobody fucking knows him South,the fucking same tiny hicktown that brought us
tragically Hip Kingston, Ontario, greatfucking band, unbelievable. Man, I

(01:06:51):
really hope Kingston, Ontario. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So that's my
five. I you know again,I'm gonna hear yours and go, oh
shit, nah nah, you won't. There's some bleed over in it.
Number five. Let's get Aerosmith backon here, Mama, kin oh that
is I do like that song.I absolutely love that song. It's one

(01:07:13):
of my all time favorite Aerosmith songs. And that's going all the way back
to I think the first album rightseventy three, Mama canne at number five,
number four. Anybody that checks outour social media and a few of
you already did see this. Ialready posted the song on the Playpants Facebook
page. UFO oh here we go, mother Mary. So here's my posts

(01:07:39):
and I'm just gonna paraphrase. I'mprepping for the Mother's Day Top five list,
I have to include this one,and then I put Jason's response,
Yeah, I'm really gonna get intosome UFO. I'm gonna go check some
of that out and yet to doit. So y ufo, Okay,

(01:08:02):
number four, I'll get there.Uh. At number three, Mama,
I'm coming home Boom. Number twoLenny Kravitz always on the run, fucking
slash on guitar. On that reallyhe says, slash in the song.
You just haven't listened to all theway through in a while. He's like,
slash slash, doesn't all that's slashin the on that song? No

(01:08:27):
shit, Okay, that's slash allright. Uh. And at number one,
the number one mother song Judith APerfect Circle. See, Oh that's
a great one because it doesn't saymom. But that song is so powerful,
so powerful Maynard's mother. Her namewas Judith. She was paralyzed when

(01:08:54):
Maynard was ten or eleven, andshe remained paralyzed for the rest of her
life. It was another twenty sevenyears. This is why I know,
because it was ten thousand days.There's in a Perfect Circle song called ten
thousand Days, and it talks aboutthe whole time that his mom was paralyzed.

(01:09:15):
The song Judith, if you listento the lyrics, he is so
pissed off at her God. Howcould your God do this to you and
you didn't do anything wrong? Howdo you remain faithful to this? Look
what the world has done to you. It's such an unbelievably angry song and

(01:09:36):
it's so personal that I think it'sinto that category where he won't play it,
and he's just an asshole to beginwith. I don't mind saying that.
You can blow me up all youwant. I've talked to the guy.
He's a dick. It's their bestsong, it's their best small and
it's one of my favorite rock videos. And I think we've talked about it.

(01:10:00):
But that song is so fucking powerful, and yeah, it's it's about
his mom. So Judith is thenumber one mom song for me. Yeah,
you know what? That is agood one. That that still resonates,
that still is powerful. And Ididn't realize it when when it came
out many years ago. I didn't. I just thought it was a cool
song. I always loved the song, but then I was I watched an
interview with him or somebody and theywere talking about it. They broke it

(01:10:21):
down and I went back and listenedto the lyrics. I went, wow,
this has just gotten way better.It's unbelievably angry. It's so now
that you know the story, goand watch how great the video is.
And the sexiest bass player you've everseen. I don't know how to say
her name, it's Paz pause Um, but her play in the bass and

(01:10:44):
fucking doing her hair up. Andthe most important thing about that video,
because who is the guy Lynch,Not George Lynch, from David Lynch,
the director, David Lynch, Ibelieve made that video. That's my front
runner. That's Josh Freeze on drums, right, the thing that pulls that

(01:11:06):
fucking song together. And you reallycan see it by watching that video.
Go watch Josh Freeze, and thenyou tell me that he's not ready for
fucking prime time. He's too goodto be in the Food Fighters. Oh
yeah, wait, wait, toogood. I still think he's the guy.
I really do. If the kid, you know, if Queen's son
gets it, I'm not gonna bemad. I don't care. Dave Grohl

(01:11:26):
is gonna make the right decision.But if Josh Freeze gets that job,
I still think he's the right guy. But he was the drummer when a
Perfect Circle came out, and thatvideo and that song unbelievable still. It
just there's nothing dated sounding about it. Nothing. It's twenty years old,
right, it's gotta be twenty yearsold, gotta be close to it,

(01:11:46):
Yeah, early two thousands. Yeah, No, great's a great video.
You know what sucks about the writersstrike? You know, all the writers
of Hollywood on strike. Food Fighterswere supposed to play Saturday Night Live in
a couple of weeks. No,I think it would have been this begin
this weekend yet, because Pete Davidsonwas last, was gonna be last weekend,
and then it was gonna be Stifler'smom, Jennifer Coolidge yep, and

(01:12:08):
the food Fighters, and we wouldhave found out there's no way, you
know, we would have found outwho the drummer was in there. Ye.
Yeah, I was pissed about that. I brought that up too,
And I you know, I wonder, like anything we talk about, does
anyone else care like I'm I'm obsessedabout who is going to be the drummer

(01:12:28):
the Food Fighters? Is that somethingthat a normal fan cares about? I
think he's got to be some interestin it. Huh yeah. I think
if you're getting the chat rooms andshit. I mean, if you're a
fan, you want to know,you want to know who the damn drummer
is gonna be. You know,it's never I think when when you when
you see, you're just gonna gonnago, oh, okay, cool,
and you're gonna talk about it,and then you're gonna move on. And

(01:12:48):
it's the food Fighters. You're gonnabe happy that the food Fighters are back
doing what they do best, youknow what I mean. And I'm excited
about I love the new song.I can't wait to hear the rest of
it. Um. They keep throwingout dates every once in a while.
No New Orleans dates yet. Ikeep my fingers crossed. Hopefully down the
road they'll do well. They justadded ACL Austin city limits, so getting

(01:13:09):
closer anyway. Well, but thatjust takes a shit on Houston, San
Antonio and Dallas. There's a radius. I'm guessing what it is, but
I'm assuming it's a two hundred mileradius. And you play ACL, it's
guess what. You're not playing theseother places because it'll they want you to
travel to ACL. So that's apart of their contract, and I'm sure

(01:13:29):
they pay you. They bonus youfor not playing those other cities. But
yeah, that fucks us all herein Texas when they play ACL. Any
fringe do you have like sixteen motherfringe songs? I did not have many,
man, it was like a lotof them that really kind of grabbed
me. You know. It wasn'ta whole lot. Sorry not sorry.

(01:13:50):
Tie your Mother Down Queen is betterthan Bohemian Rhapsody. Oh that is a
good song too. It's better.It's just better. It's just got more
juice to it. Yeah, Ilike that song. It's a good um.
Mommy's a little monster social distortion Iwrote down not bad. Mama said
knock you out l L, whichL's in the air. Fucking great song,

(01:14:12):
mom. You know what. Youknow what I really revisited that song
and got I liked it a lotbetter. Is when LLL went into the
Hall of Fame a couple of yearsago. Yeah was it last year?
I don't know the last year Ithink he went in. Yeah, And
I'm like, and you know howthey showed the real about his whole career,
and I'm like, fuck, Ididn't know any of that shit.
That's awesome, so that I becamea fan of l And then when he
got up and performed, he smokedit. He was good, like he

(01:14:33):
was good. He's been a partof these like the you know, the
fiftieth Anniversary of Hip Hop. He'sbeen a part of these things that have
been on some of these awards shows. And yeah, I mean he's he's
awesome. He's just an og dude. Let's see social distortion. I wrote
down we both stayed away from Motherby Danzig. It's a great song.

(01:14:57):
Great, just one Danzig song thateverybody knows. Yeah, Mother Mother Tracy
Bonham. Oh yeah, I forgotabout that one. Mama, don't let
your babies grow up to be cowboysWillie Willie Nelson. Oh see, now
that's a bummer because that is athat's a great song. Late at Night,
yep, Mama by Genesis and Motherby John Lennon or the other ones

(01:15:19):
that I wrote down. There wasa ton of Mother's songs, man.
Yeah, and I'm sure we're missinga lot of the ones that are like
Judith that is it in front ofyour Face? Yeah, I mean,
I'm sure there's plenty other ones thatit's going to come out of the woodwork
now and then I'll be excited becausethen I get a bunch of music to
listen to. And even so theother neighbor, the English guy, when

(01:15:40):
we were talking about the mother,He's like, yea, mama says by
by Lenny Kravitz, and I said, wow, great song. The name
of the song is always on therun. But it would count for what
we do. That would absolutely count. Pretty much everything counts on this podcast.
We let it all the slide.Usually there's not much that doesn't count.
I agree, Yeah, we letit go. It's our rules.

(01:16:00):
We get do we want. Sohere's what I you know, a new
final thought, m rod, Anew final thought. Yeah, maybe talk
to the fucking guy who wants toadvertise on the about that. Yeah,
I got an email. Man,I feel terrible. I mean really,
I sup poor form to even tellyou that that slipped through the cracks of
mine. But I'd love to tellyou that I can get back to every

(01:16:23):
single email. I absolutely cannot.I would love to email everybody back.
I try to read them all.Um, I'm with you, but yeah,
it's still a couple hundred a day. So I saw. I don't
know how I would look that up. I will try to find it,
but if if you give me asecond chance, I promise you I'll get
back to you. But I cantell you that advertising on this podcast would

(01:16:45):
be a lot cheaper than you think. It's. Uh, it's it's not.
You know, you get a lotfor your money. You get a
lot for your money because it works. And as a testimonial, uh,
we get a lot of people fromHouston to take the Pirate Tour. So
and they I'll say I heard iton the podcast. Because we have a
little drop down when you book atour, it'll ask you how did you
find out about it? It was, you know, an advertisement, it

(01:17:08):
was a magazine ad? Was itthe Playpans podcast? And we get a
lot of that. We we've garnereda lot of business through this podcast,
no joke. Yeah, so weonly had the advertiser. We people will
keep the fucking lights on, payfor the zoom at least. Final thoughts,

(01:17:29):
man, a standard Mother's Day cardis like six bucks. I hate
to sound like the old man leavingthe show. I mean everything else I've
said it sounded like an old manman six dollars for fuck's sake, a
Mother's Day card six bucks? Whatno way? Oh, we're gonna burn
that into the ground now, dude, is six dollars a lot for a

(01:17:53):
fucking card. It's a lot ofmoney, right. I gotta get one
from the kid, one from mefor fuck's sake, twelve bucks, and
then it's like it's like ninety dollarsto mail it. You know what it's
worth it for me to get someplane tickets and come to Houston and literally

(01:18:14):
just go out into bars and youknow what we're gonna do all night is
that we will do that until peoplemurder us in the parking lot. We
will be sitting there buying a beerand some little thing will happen and we'll
just fucking all night. That's allWe're gonna do. What someone You're gonna
put down the beers and it's likewe're gonna be in some bar we've never

(01:18:36):
been to before. That's fourteen dollarsfor two fucking bud lights. What no,
it's gonna be birds. You knowhow we would do it, man,
it would be fucking awful. Wegotta contact that guy, we gotta
get him off. You know what, we've never had a guest on the
podcast. I don't know if Ihave the fucking technological savvy to pull that

(01:18:57):
off. Dude's would just think youjust invite them on, that guy will
come on with us. Can webring on a guest. I've thought about
it. I just don't know howwe do it where they'd be like,
why are the fuck are we onthis shit? Well, listen, we
should maybe get him on before wecall up Roth to get him to come
on. Maybe we should try,for fuck' sake, guy up in Canada
first, so that we don't lookcompletely idiotic in front of, you know,

(01:19:20):
somebody that sang for Van Halen.Because I thought, I've thought about
it. I'm like, man,there's a lot of guys that I know
that we're we could get guys onin the record business and just fucking because
what do we do We talk aboutall this shit, right, and we're
always talking about movies. There's peoplein the movie business we could get on
here, and then they're not goingto be celebrities, but they could fucking
guide us through some of this shipthat we could pound questions at. There's

(01:19:43):
a lot of opportunity there, Likewe could bring on Briggs for crying out
loud. It's that's better than anycelebrity. That fucking guy, our friend
will just talk. They'll take overthe whole place. I guess we could
figure that out. I don't knowwhat do we really want to interrupt the
incredible flow we have on this Ithink right now and the No Way guy

(01:20:05):
is this hot. I think wegotta get him on. He's hot right
now. Might be worth the DM, might be worth slipping into his DMS.
You know what's gonna happen when heopens it? What No Way?
We're gonna be on a podcast inNew Orleans and Houston listeners? Maybe an
