1:36

took my buddy Kevin Hinch, uh, good good

1:38

guy, works hard, need a little

1:40

break, loves music. It's great. It's

1:42

good to go to a show

1:44

with someone who digs it, know

1:46

what I mean? digs I mean? And also... He's

1:48

a guy wrote the hammer with and wrote, hard with and

1:50

just, we don't, it's one of those,

1:52

we don't get enough time. time

1:55

together. No bro out enough. Yeah,

1:57

so so we were

1:59

able to bro

2:02

out and was at the the

2:04

forum. And I forgot that they've

2:06

girl broke his ankle and was in

2:08

a walking boot, but not walking, but

2:11

still rocking. And that boot built a

2:13

giant throne, just went crazy on the

2:15

guitar from atop the throne, which was

2:18

adorned with spinning lights and... pyrotechnics and

2:20

stuff and and would go out to

2:22

the end of the catwalk into the

2:24

middle of the forum floor and then

2:27

in the pneumatically come back again and

2:29

then go back out again and it

2:31

was it was sort of fun watching

2:34

a guy yeah it was fun to

2:36

watch a guy just early guys just

2:38

rock out yeah on top of recliner.

2:40

Rock essentially. Yeah, it's rocking in a

2:43

seated position. That's like the litmus test

2:45

for how well you rock. Like when

2:47

Billy Idol got in that horrible motorcycle

2:50

accident whenever it was 1990 or something,

2:52

he went on tour like two months

2:54

later in a cane and like full-on

2:56

like you know he was Billy, he

2:59

was peak Billy Idol. Well this is

3:01

very, as you watch the show and

3:03

enjoy the Foo Fighters and Pat Smear,

3:06

the guitar player. Pat's a guy played

3:08

with Nirvana. If you ever watch, I

3:10

don't know, Nirvana, MTV unplugged, and you

3:13

see the guy who doesn't look like

3:15

one or the others playing like the

3:17

red, white, and blue acoustic guitar. That's

3:19

Pat, who's with the germs. And Pat's

3:22

just one of these guys. He's just

3:24

a good guy. It turns out he

3:26

and his wife live fairly close to

3:29

where we live, and he just want

3:31

to, he spends a lot of time

3:33

on the road. A lot of time

3:35

on the road equals him reading books

3:38

of mine and watching movies and things

3:40

like that. So I just get these

3:42

random emails, you know, I haven't talked

3:45

to him in two years, but like,

3:47

I'm in Australia, I've just got done

3:49

watching Road Hard, loved it, you know,

3:51

blah, blah, and then I do the

3:54

hey, when you're back in town. You

3:56

know, so, um, and got me to

3:58

a concert. He reached out. Yeah, we

4:01

want to be on the guest list

4:03

and let's get together. Yeah, that's how

4:05

it works. And I'll write another book.

4:07

So, um, we went out and, no,

4:10

we went over to his house, brought

4:12

the mangria and the wives and the

4:14

wives and all that. So, um, he

4:17

invited me and then gave me the,

4:19

you know. VIP passes and all that

4:21

kind of parking and all that kind

4:24

of stuff so it was really nice

4:26

footnote the new the forms have been

4:28

like redone right isn't like a used

4:30

to be in a it was in

4:33

a state of disrepair for many years

4:35

it was falling down hard times yes

4:37

and and the great western form of

4:40

the like used to play mhm the

4:42

home that Jack Kent Cook belt or

4:44

I think Chick Hearns would say back

4:46

yeah I think he owned the Lakers

4:49

or the former. You may have. Okay.

4:51

Anyway, uh, I don't know. Jack Kent

4:53

Cook, Jack. Jack. Jack Cook. Yeah. So,

4:56

um, went to the concert, um, Had

4:58

that thing that happens at every concert,

5:00

walked in through the sort of form

5:02

club at the bottom, ran into a

5:05

bunch of radio folks, I haven't seen

5:07

a million years, had a beer, turned

5:09

to the way and ran. And then,

5:12

no, actually the handful of ones I

5:14

like, I saw Kevin or Kevin and

5:16

Bean and all that. Now I had

5:18

this moment. You guys tell me where

5:21

you are with this moment. It's LA,

5:23

it's the food fighters, you know there's

5:25

going to be some special guests coming

5:28

up on stage. So Kevin of Kevin

5:30

and Bean, said. Do you want to

5:32

know who's coming out? And my first

5:35

impulse is always, oh yeah, for sure,

5:37

tell me. And then I thought, why?

5:39

Why? Why do I want this? Why

5:41

do I? It's like, in a certain

5:44

point, everyone wants to open their presence

5:46

on Christmas Eve. But you know, it's

5:48

better. It's better. You're cheating yourself. Sleep,

5:51

wake up, go over there and tear

5:53

them open in the morning in your

5:55

little jammies and enjoy it. someone I

5:57

wouldn't exactly know who it was like

6:00

oh this guy's a really talented blah

6:02

blah blah blah from from Europe he's

6:04

like well tell me so I know

6:07

it's a kind of expect but otherwise

6:09

I want to be you know surprised

6:11

oh yeah you own the Redskins I

6:13

forgot about that you know the Kings

6:16

and the Redskins and the Redskins there

6:18

you go yeah Kevin of Kevin and

6:20

Bean you own the Jack and Cook

6:23

of course Jack yeah it was a

6:25

red skin oh yes okay yeah but

6:27

yeah but I knew that wasn't going

6:29

to happen because no one would say,

6:32

do you want to know who it

6:34

is? Because you don't know who it

6:36

is. It can't be the guy who

6:39

plays a sitar from Bangladesh who has

6:41

nine names you've never heard of because

6:43

that doesn't. So obviously it's somebody. I

6:46

knew he's sitting on top of a

6:48

name and he's dying to tell you.

6:50

That's going to be household naming. 15

6:52

years ago, I wouldn't want to tell

6:55

me, but now I just went, no,

6:57

I don't want to know. I want

6:59

to enjoy. I want to just go

7:02

experience it. And also it was kind

7:04

of fun. I started sitting there going,

7:06

when's this person coming out? Jack Black

7:08

came out, so, oh yeah. You should

7:11

have a song, don't play it yet,

7:13

but we should have a song that's

7:15

cute up. Jack Black came out, sung

7:18

half a Tom Sawyer, and that was

7:20

fun. He just went running down the

7:22

stage and sort of mocking Dave Girl

7:24

who's doing everything with a boot on.

7:27

A big walking cast. He went full

7:29

Jack. Yeah, and he was just rocking

7:31

out the car. Now, before I tell

7:34

you who this was, the thing I

7:36

love most about Dave and... I ran

7:38

into his mom backstage, a little bit

7:41

uncomfortable. I'll tell you the story there.

7:43

It's the work ethic. You don't really

7:45

realize it. I mean, what's the difference

7:47

between him and everybody else? Yeah, and

7:50

you go, well, he's a real talented

7:52

musician. Yeah, there's lots of real talented

7:54

musicians. And he's a good songwriters, a

7:57

lot of good songwriters and blah, blah,

7:59

blah, blah, blah. But you know, when

8:01

you listen to the... fighters, it's, they're

8:03

good solid rock and roll songs, but

8:06

no one, you're not sitting there mind

8:08

blown, you know, like what, no, this

8:10

guy, this Lenin and McCartney, no, it's,

8:13

it's calories burnt. Yeah. He never stops

8:15

rocking, and he, in front of, I

8:17

don't know, 15,000 people, On

8:19

like a number of occasions, like

8:22

you could tell he wasn't going

8:24

to leave until everyone left satisfied.

8:26

That's the thing. That's all he

8:28

has. His reputation is all he

8:30

has. I mean, I've seen him

8:32

on a million award shows. I've

8:34

seen in a million different venues,

8:36

and I saw him last night.

8:39

He's not going to take his

8:41

foot off the Accelerator. Here is

8:43

Dave Girl's greatest fear, lament, and

8:45

phobia. It's two people. walking back

8:47

to the car in the parking

8:49

lot and so and go, what

8:51

do you think? And he goes,

8:54

it's pretty good. I mean, he

8:56

was kind of hobbled, so maybe

8:58

it wasn't really that into it

9:00

or maybe he's on some pain

9:02

med or I mean, obviously he's

9:04

not young anymore. He's probably getting

9:06

near 50. He's not Dave Grold.

9:08

I mean, it's a good show,

9:11

but if you're a food fighter

9:13

fan, but you know, no, he

9:15

will not, he cannot go back

9:17

to his home. and see a

9:19

tweet that went six and a

9:21

half seen better mediocre can't do

9:23

it can't do it so he's

9:26

just going to fucking go and

9:28

that's all he does that's all

9:30

he did so great show and

9:32

then I'm sitting there waiting for

9:34

the guest right and I got

9:36

I just in a jackbok it's

9:38

not yeah because jackbok came out

9:40

early did half a song and

9:43

okay ran off like a little

9:45

sprite off the stage. Well, appetizer.

9:47

The first time I said, Jack

9:49

Black, my mind heard Jack White.

9:51

Like, that's a pretty good get.

9:53

I'd rather see Jack Black sing

9:55

Tom Sawyer. So I am, me

9:58

too. So I am sitting there

10:00

going, well, half a song. No,

10:02

that's not what we're talking. I'm

10:04

waiting for somebody to come out

10:06

and I've seen. all the other,

10:08

on TV, the other concerts and

10:10

the news and stuff, you know,

10:12

Taylor Swift and all the whatever.

10:15

So, I got it right down

10:17

the name, I didn't know. All

10:19

right. So I'm sitting there and

10:21

I'm thinking, well, this is LA.

10:23

I mean, we could have anybody

10:25

in this fucking letter. Brian Wilson

10:27

could come out here, but I'm

10:30

thinking, you know, is it? Is

10:32

it Tom Petty? Is Tom Petty

10:34

going to come out here? Brian

10:36

Wilson will be a huge get.

10:38

Yeah, but Dave Groll's, Dave Groll's

10:40

and you're playing the forum and

10:42

when Dave Groll says, hey, when

10:44

I come sit in, it's going

10:47

to first round draft. I'm going

10:49

to do it. And then I'm

10:51

thinking, oh, maybe somebody more interesting,

10:53

like Ben Foulds or Robert Craig

10:55

or somebody of that nature. Someone

10:57

he likes. He's going to come

10:59

tear it up and they're up

11:02

and they're going to go together

11:04

and they're going to go together.

11:06

First out onto the stage comes

11:08

the HIMS. I don't know who

11:10

the HIMS were. Is it H-A-I-N?

11:12

Yeah, the HEMS, the HIMS, the

11:14

HIMS, the HIMS, the HIMS, the

11:16

HIMS, the HIMS, the HIMS, the

11:19

HIMS, these chicks. These chicks, and

11:21

they're on the radio, they're great.

11:23

Okay. Other than that specific scenario

11:25

though. All right, so here comes

11:27

the Hames. I'm sitting next to

11:29

Kevin Hinch and I said who,

11:31

and he said, they spell it,

11:34

A-G-I-N, whatever, and I'm like, I

11:36

don't know if it's Hames or

11:38

Himes or if they're sisters or

11:40

whatever it is. And I said,

11:42

well, how do you know? And

11:44

said, well, they opened for Taylor

11:46

Swift, you know who they are,

11:48

but for me, you don't. Right.

11:51

And then comes Stevie Nix. Was

11:53

it Stevie Nix from 1972? No,

11:55

it was Stevie Nix from 2023.

11:57

Oh, fuck. ghost like Tupac style?

13:30

yeah so he's walking out to the turbus. Or am I going next?

13:32

They're probably probably out of the entire the form.

13:34

They're people in two There are probably two

13:36

people that, that himself was just I was

13:38

just staring and she just turned around and

13:40

14:10

a little bit sad and

14:12

not on... You gotta be

14:14

70? She got started early

and often but she could

14:19

be getting close and you

14:21

know did a fair bit

14:23

of drugs back in the

14:25

day and uh... She was

14:27

having trouble when she was

14:30

I remember a famous story

14:32

when she was doing the

14:34

video with Tom Petty stop

14:36

dragging my heart around She

14:38

didn't remember the she recorded

14:41

the lyrics like you know

14:43

four months earlier. She had

14:45

no idea what the lyrics

14:47

were. She's come mumbled her

14:49

way through those you know,

14:52

they're all swayed and whatever

14:54

mumbled away Because at this

14:56

point could she does she

14:58

have the wherewithal to memorize

15:00

a food fighter song or

15:03

did she sing one of

15:05

her songs? What do you

15:47

before you get from the campground

15:49

to the front entrance where they

15:51

15:58

hour period. I mean the sun

10-minute walk. I got you. No,

16:02

16:11

plus hours. It brought nobody out.

16:13

Nobody out. You dodged your bullet.

16:16

And was he in the throne?

16:18

16:20

time. And the, but Manic I

16:46

in Washington but three hours and

16:48

just a great show, right? It

16:51

was perfect. Yeah, no special guests

16:53

or breaks or breaks or anything.

16:55

Yeah. Yeah. Gary Clark Jr. opened.

16:57

Yeah. Oh wow. But it was

16:59

really awesome. Yeah. And he's the

17:02

kind of guy would have liked

17:04

to see Step Out. Is that

17:06

a total coincidence that you mentioned

17:08

Gary Clark or did he open

17:10

for them? No, I saw I

17:13

said Robert Craig, which is his

17:15

older, his uncle. Yes, basically. And

17:17

Adam, I don't know if they

17:19

did it with you guys either,

17:21

but did, at either show, did

17:24

they do they do the under

17:26

pressure with Taylor singing? very very

17:28

hard a lot of calories burning

17:30

I decided as a drummer that

17:32

is the number one job where

17:34

you can wear whatever you want

17:37

like you can there's a lot

17:39

of if anything yeah I mean

17:41

you could go there in a

17:43

diaper barefoot if you want it

17:45

but I mean there's a lot

17:48

of jobs where it's like Tommy

17:50

Lee just go yeah he's a

17:52

lifeguard you go all right well

17:54

he just all right but he

17:56

has to wear trunks or whatever

17:59

it is or he works at

18:01

a gas to wear jeans and

18:03

a shirt you know Drummer is

18:05

a job where you can put

18:07

a suit and tie on if

18:10

you're trying to hurt hermits. or

18:12

whatever, or you can literally just

18:14

wear nothing or cutoffs or one

18:16

flip-flop, like it is really the

18:18

one job or nothing will ever

18:21

be said or even commented upon,

18:23

good or bad or anything and

18:25

just wear whatever you want. Yeah,

18:27

you're immune. You're immune. Yeah, Taylor

18:29

was great. That was fun. Talk

18:32

to him and Pat, his wife,

18:34

backstage for a while. Sweet, super

18:36

sweet guy, everyone in the band's

18:38

really nice. When he's up there

18:40

wailing on those drums, and I

18:42

mean this in the nicest possible

18:45

way, he is animal from the

18:47

muppets. Yeah, but it's so visceral,

18:49

it's so visceral, and we're having

18:51

that talk backstage, but anyway, Danielle?

18:53

Yeah. How's the mangria treating you?

18:56

Awesome, I love it. Good answer,

18:58

baby. All right, what you guys

19:00

can do is the can hashtag

19:02

at angry moment name. Lynette'll find

19:04

it and see it and get

19:07

back to you and and all

19:09

that good stuff. Thanks baby doll.

19:11

Thank you. Love that. Yeah. Mangrier

19:13

moments. All right so Haim or

19:15

Haim or the chick band gets

19:18

up there and that's fine but

19:20

it's not neither here nor there

19:22

for for me because I don't

19:24

know who they are. And then

19:26

Stevie. takes the stage handing her

19:29

purse sunglasses. Hard candies. And everything

19:31

to a lead guitar player. And

19:33

Foo Fighters. And they do stop

19:35

dragging my heart around. Oh. And

19:37

they do a nice job of

19:40

it. And it's really, it's hard

19:42

to fail up there because you

19:44

have such a great wall of

19:46

rock just going on. You have

19:48

another guitar player. There's a guy

19:50

on the keyboards. Dave's doing, Dave's

19:53

doing Dave and Taylor's doing Taylor.

19:55

Pat's doing Pat and you don't

19:57

have to be you know you

19:59

have to be as in tune

20:01

or as in anything It's just

20:04

a moment. There's a musical net

20:06

there. Right. And you know, I

20:08

like that song. I don't love

20:10

that song. It's not a good

20:12

song. It's a good song. It's

20:15

a little, like a little, looking

20:17

for a little more up-tempo. And

20:19

that's one song. And then we

20:21

slide into the other song, which

20:23

was the only song that Stevie

20:26

basically just did solo. I

20:29

was in my car thinking about how

20:32

much I hate this song the other

20:34

day and never really articulated it. How

20:36

much like there's a Fleetwood Band is

20:39

Fleetwood Maxik Good's band with a handful

20:41

of songs I hate. And for some

20:43

reason those get the Spotlight Shine quite

20:46

a bit by yeah. This and don't

20:48

stop thinking about tomorrow. This is one

20:50

of those first of any song that

20:53

says with your silver spoon, I can't,

20:55

I hate Silver Spoon, anything from songs.

20:57

I just remember thinking how much I

21:00

hate this song because I was explaining

21:02

it. Kevin Hinch, it's not really a

21:04

song. It's just sort of a thing.

21:07

Yeah. There's nothing. I couldn't. I really,

21:09

if you gave me a stedo pad

21:11

and a thousand golf pencils, I couldn't

21:14

come up with this song like when

21:16

they said, when I was in, Robert

21:18

Crais coming out or Ben Foltz is

21:21

coming out mode. Yeah, expectations were surging.

21:23

This song would have been, oh no,

21:25

no, not doing it for you. Well,

21:28

by the way, why would you do

21:30

that to a live? We're two hours

21:32

and 10 minutes into a two and

21:35

a half hours. We're at the end.

21:37

This is it. This is the big...

21:39

Oh, man. And you have to assume

21:42

she requested this. They didn't ask her

21:44

to sing this song. I would have

21:46

rather heard Row Your Boat. In the

21:49

round. Dave Groll is the bacon of

21:51

rock and roll. I don't know

21:53

it tastes delicious. it tastes

21:56

liver tastes like chicken

21:58

liver tenderloin. You know

22:00

what mean? There's

22:03

vitamins with some bacon.

22:05

the there's nothing he

22:07

can't. just wrap

22:10

a little there's nothing he can't,

22:12

you just wrap a little, Dave,

22:14

growl. Savory. Yeah. I don't hate

22:17

this song. I've only heard it 5% it often

22:19

as often as you, I didn't grow up

22:21

in up in the song. No, you don't hate this to Let us

22:23

song? I would not go to the

22:25

map for this song. song. I would not

22:27

go to the map for this

22:29

song. No. It's not grating a

22:31

clowing and annoying like Don't you

22:33

want me baby or you want

22:36

me, like this? You know one of the shitty

22:38

80s songs. It's just shit. But

22:40

there's nothing never takes off. It

22:42

perpetually taxis like push off from

22:45

the gate. Would you? It idols.

22:47

No, and I'm not even saying

22:49

this is this isn't bad if

22:52

you're smoking a little weed and

22:54

You're hanging out with you

22:56

guys are having a glass of

22:58

wine in your hand, but this are

23:00

having a glass of blowing the roof off

23:02

this but this think of a word.

23:05

This is to get the crowd to leave. the is

23:07

to disperse a rowdy crowd. You

23:09

couldn't think of a

23:12

word. This is to

23:15

get the crowd to

23:17

leave. This is to

23:20

disperse a rowdy crowd.

23:23

Well, they're telling this.

23:25

I'll take You know what

23:27

the equivalent is, I think? You know how you're

23:29

always saying, jammin' worst Bob Marley song ever? This

23:32

is the equivalent. Goldust Woman is the equivalent

23:34

to jammin'. Yeah. It just never goes anywhere.

23:37

I'll take plenty of... I'd

23:39

rather hear Tusk, change, come

23:41

up there and not sing Tusk.

23:43

You don't love Tusk with the U .S .C. mark. I'm

23:45

fine with many Fleetwood

23:47

Mac songs. Gold

23:50

Dust woman, just I just remember

23:52

hearing, I just remember hearing, I have a list have

23:54

a list of songs I never stop

23:56

complaining about. I never really put it

23:58

in my of of songs stopped complaining. and I've

24:00

thought made a mental note like hmm

24:02

got to put that in there and

24:05

that's in my fate was sealed I

24:07

think right there so the show was

24:09

great sounds like it's special guest it's

24:12

better that you didn't know because you

24:14

still got to live with all that

24:16

anticipation as opposed to yes true what

24:19

it has to Paul over the concert

24:21

never thought gold dust woman in a

24:23

million years out there you could have

24:26

been hoping for you know The chain

24:28

or something. There's a million Fleetwood Max

24:30

songs that would have been. I love

24:33

it. If you didn't have taken a

24:35

rock version of Gypsy. I really would

24:37

have. Anyway. Let's see. I went backstage,

24:40

saw a big celib. I hadn't seen

24:42

in a while. I'll tell you about

24:44

that. All right, so I went backstage

24:47

Pat and said hi to Pat and

24:49

Taylor Dave was Probably rehydrating with an

24:51

IV in his foot in a sling

24:54

or something because I Was I was

24:56

saying this a doctor drew earlier I

24:58

saw him today, but I said the

25:01

number one thing doctors tell you which

25:03

is always fucking horrible is no matter

25:05

how you injure yourself they go well

25:08

no more that for six months or

25:10

whatever it is or knock it off

25:12

like you tell you could be a

25:15

professional snowboarder and they just go well

25:17

no more snowboarding and you're like yeah

25:19

that's great except for I have to

25:21

I have to do it that's so

25:24

so Dave heard himself rocking out and

25:26

the doctor said well no more rocking

25:28

for you for a while and the

25:31

guy probably had pre-sold tens of thousands

25:33

of tickets and I'm can't be exaggerating

25:35

tens of thousands of tickets probably many

25:38

families on you know we're counting on

25:40

that tour oh not just the band

25:42

they're taking care of the roadies and

25:45

the tax and everybody else it's an

25:47

industry and no he cannot take seven

25:49

weeks to convalese he can but nobody

25:52

else can so he got the throne

25:54

made with the weird kicker for the

25:56

leg and he went and rocked out.

25:59

He was rehydrating. I was talking to

26:01

Pat and Taylor and all that stuff.

26:03

Pat was funny. I was always nice.

26:06

It's funny when you see a guy.

26:08

I took a couple of pictures of

26:10

the concert Gary, which you may have.

26:13

I'll throw up there. They're not fantastic,

26:15

just shots from where we're sitting. It's

26:17

just sort of, you could see Dave

26:20

out there in a sing, but ran

26:22

into Pat. Pat. I'm thinking about you

26:24

up there. You are? And he said,

26:27

yeah, I want to know if you're

26:29

coming or not. I wanted to know

26:31

where you were. Like, oh, I didn't

26:34

see it before that. I was like,

26:36

well, I didn't want to come in

26:38

before and bug you. I thought we'd

26:40

see after. Well, I was thinking about

26:43

you. I was thinking about you. I

26:45

was like, oh, that's nice. Very comfortable.

26:47

Pat was doing that. And I. Talking

26:50

to Taylor and it was all very

26:52

nice and then I looked across the

26:54

room and saw a young gal had

26:57

not seen in a long time in

26:59

her tall drink of water for her

27:01

husband and Josh Dumel and Furgelicious over

27:04

there Furgi sighting yeah, and And I

27:06

finally I kept looking up and she

27:08

was looking at me and I was

27:11

like oh she's looking at me for

27:13

and then I sort of realized we

27:15

had a little at a little moment

27:18

at a party. I'm sorry what many

27:20

years ago Furgie used to be in

27:22

a band, a band was called Wild

27:25

Orchid. Oh yeah. They used to come

27:27

on to Love Line on MTV years

27:29

ago. We never consummated anything. No, we

27:32

never, we never, we shook hands, but

27:34

there was a little moment at a

27:36

party where, I was seeing Lynette at

27:39

the time, but there was a little

27:41

moment where... It couldn't shake it a

27:43

happen. We're having a conversation. Okay. Enough

27:46

said, fine. And I don't... I took

27:48

the pieces and landed with that dumel

27:50

care. Yeah. Slopy seconds for the model.

27:53

And uh, yeah. And I only know

27:55

it. I... I would have washed it

27:57

from my memory, but Lynette like got

27:59

in between at some point when like,

28:02

hey, back off. That's how I remember

28:04

it was, it was, it had been

28:06

witnessed by another human being. It actually

28:09

happened. Yeah. But super sweet, Josh is

28:11

one of the nicest, he's a regular

28:13

dude. Super regular, was there with his

28:16

regular dude friends and had nice conversation

28:18

and she was real sweet. Nice time

28:20

back there and yeah when you you

28:23

the pictures that I can show you

28:25

is one with the throne out at

28:27

the end of the catwalk in the

28:30

middle of everything and then at and

28:32

it would retract and go back to

28:34

where the stage and everyone else was

28:37

as well and that's a sort of

28:39

bad picture of the throne there and

28:41

uh... You said you had audio of

28:44

Jack Black? No, I somebody must. I

28:46

think Lynette did, actually. Oh, maybe Lynette

28:48

did. Now, I try to take a

28:51

picture. I took a picture with me

28:53

and Furgi just so I could make

28:55

my daughter cry. That was backstage too.

28:58

Yeah, that was backstage. But I. I

29:00

really don't want to be one of

29:02

the people that's holding the camera over

29:05

my head for the entire show. I

29:07

usually just shut my phone and put

29:09

it away, but I do realize that

29:12

there's a certain responsibility for you guys

29:14

that are listening, which is when I'm

29:16

trying to explain, hey, there's this throne,

29:18

and it goes to the end of

29:21

the thing. I just, I'll take a

29:23

picture of it, just so you kind

29:25

of know, go down and go down

29:28

for a couple of things. What I

29:30

hate that because you're supposed to you're

29:32

there your fan of the band or

29:35

the artist or the whatever the music

29:37

get lost in the music don't worry

29:39

about like oh I got to get

29:42

a good shot here I got to

29:44

make sure put the phone away turn

29:46

the phone off. Well not only that

29:49

but you go to these kids events

29:51

and they're doing the player they're doing

29:53

this skip rope competition or whatever it

29:56

is you have the moms and dads

29:58

holding the tablets in front of their

30:00

face and they can see the image

30:03

of what their kid is doing if

30:05

it's Lynette it's on its side but

30:07

they can see what the kid is

30:10

doing on this on the tablet and

30:12

then you realize the only version of

30:14

this you've ever experienced is via the

30:17

screen now memory is going to be

30:19

that tablet yeah well later on you

30:21

can watch it on your TV at

30:24

home but it's still going to be

30:26

watching on a screen you're never physically

30:28

there and then it's like well we're

30:31

a Texas stadium staring up at the

30:33

big screen watching the winning touchdown or

30:35

Don't, especially at a concert, don't you

30:37

want to, whether it's a concert or

30:40

your kids recital, don't you want to

30:42

see you were there? Don't, don't they

30:44

want to look out into the small

30:47

auditorium if it's the kids recital and

30:49

see daddy preening rather than daddy holding

30:51

a lunch box over his head? Do

30:54

you know what I'm saying? Of course,

30:56

and especially if it's a big concert.

30:58

You might as well throw your phone

31:01

away because you're going to go home

31:03

and the audio is not going to

31:05

be as good. The video is not

31:08

going to be as good. Take a

31:10

picture, remember it, and watch the show.

31:12

31:15

there? Like just go do the paper

38:37

I'll I'll hit you up. David

38:39

will talk to you. Thank you.

38:41

Nice. He's a nice. He's very

38:43

agreeable question. Is he literally the

38:45

nicest guy on the planet? Look.

38:47

I'm a mench. I will say

38:49

this And when I say it,

38:51

I'll be talking to myself half

38:53

the time. First off, if you

38:55

just act nice all the time,

38:57

you just become that, you're just

38:59

a nice guy. I don't... I

39:01

don't know. It's like saying, is

39:03

he really clean or is he

39:05

just shower three times a day?

39:07

And it's like, I don't know.

39:09

He showers three times. He's what

39:11

he lives the life. He's what

39:14

you are when you do that,

39:16

when you're always in a good

39:18

mood, when you're always upbeat, when

39:20

you're always upbeat, when you're always

39:22

friendly, when you're always friendly, when

39:24

you're always friendly, maybe the world's

39:26

awful. I feel you don't seem

39:28

like you really hate it. And

39:30

also, why not? He did his

39:32

show, he made a lot of

39:34

money, he loves travel, he loves

39:36

food, and he's out doing what

39:38

he wants to do. He's not...

39:40

Can't complain. Going to work at

39:42

a sewage treatment plant in El

39:44

Monte every day. He would still

39:46

probably be one of the happier

39:48

workers there, but he's not fish.

39:50

fucking tampons out out of filters

39:52

all day he's going in New

39:54

York and eating pizza so he

39:56

should be in a good mood

39:58

and we should all take a

40:00

page out of Phil Rosenthal's book

40:02

and match so we'll tell Matt

40:04

write that down I'll find some

40:06

pizza time with Phil. All right

40:08

so let's see so I went

40:10

backstage one of the first people

40:12

I ran into was Dave Groll's

40:14

mom who came right up to

40:16

me and said, hey Adam, I

40:18

said, hey Dave, girls mom. And

40:20

she said, yep. And I said,

40:22

yeah, I know you. I said,

40:24

yeah. She said, yeah, because you

40:26

lived, you lived across the street

40:28

from my daughter. And then I

40:30

did that thing where it's like,

40:32

oh, we should dedicate a little

40:34

daughter time in here, because otherwise

40:36

it's going to be all, hey.

40:38

All Dave talk? All Dave talk

40:40

all the time, you know? So

40:42

I did that thing where it's

40:44

like, oh, what she do? How's

40:46

she, blah, blah? Oh, that sounds

40:48

great. It must be proud of

40:50

her, but I'll try to get

40:52

a little over-compensation daughter talk in

40:54

there. And then it reminded me

40:56

of the story where I ran

40:58

into Dave. And I'm sure Dave

41:00

will tell the story differently and

41:02

this is how time works. Neither

41:04

one of us is lying, but

41:06

I think I ran into him

41:08

at the Kayrock's Acoustic Christmas, circuit

41:10

2001, maybe 2000, and I said,

41:12

hey Dave, he's a really friendly

41:14

guy. And I think I said,

41:16

and where do you? I think

41:19

he was living in Washington or

41:21

Seattle, Washington or somewhere at that

41:23

time. And I said, where do

41:25

you stay when you're in town?

41:27

And he said, I stay at

41:29

my sister's house. And I got

41:31

into one of those, oh, where

41:33

is she? She's down in the

41:35

valley. I'm like, oh, she's on

41:37

whatever street. Oh, I got a

41:39

place there. Oh, really? What's her

41:41

address? I think she's crossed, I

41:43

think she lives, that's at the

41:45

house with the wood thing and

41:47

the thing and the thing and

41:49

the thing. Yeah. party house back

41:51

in the day. Okay. Familiar with

41:53

I'd never been there, but yeah.

41:55

The party. I got any parties.

41:57

Don't tell BB party. The party

41:59

house was built because I lived

42:01

in a house up in the

42:03

hills that I liked as a

42:05

sort of bachelor, but I didn't

42:07

have a swimming pool, didn't have

42:09

a basketball hoop on the side

42:11

of the hill. Which was nice,

42:13

but I like building and I

42:15

like property and I said, I

42:17

want a place we all hang

42:19

out. And by the way, as

42:21

a guy who was poor his

42:23

entire life, never had a basketball

42:25

hoop or fucking dog or swimming

42:27

pool or anything, I'm fucking, I

42:29

earned it. So I built this

42:31

old ranch house, I refurbished it,

42:33

put a big basketball hoop back

42:35

there and had Saturday games with

42:37

guys and stuff. Who by the

42:39

way had no problem throwing an

42:41

elbow into my sternum knocking me

42:43

down me saying charge and then

42:45

yelling you're fucking pussy and slamming

42:47

the ball down and walking back

42:49

to the end of my basketball

42:51

court and then later on announcing

42:53

where's the barbecue and I'm going

42:55

to take it a dip in

42:57

the pool. You really are just

42:59

another guy. I do love how

43:01

guys. It's a regular guy. Some

43:03

of them would actually be like

43:05

interns from the man like literally

43:07

slammed the ball down. A fucking

43:09

pussy as I was taking the

43:11

ball out as I was taking

43:13

the ball out. I So I

43:15

was over at the party house

43:17

the day after like the weenie,

43:19

no the acoustic Christmas and I

43:21

thought all right, well Dave's over

43:24

there, sleep and we talked about

43:26

it the other day and It's

43:28

noon. It's been long enough. I'm

43:30

not gonna go throw a rock

43:32

on his window at 845 in

43:34

the morning, but I think we're

43:36

into like 1230 or 1 maybe

43:38

I'm gonna go tap on the

43:40

door, see what happens. See what

43:42

rock and roll looks like in

43:44

an AM. And I tapped on

43:46

the door in a fairly disheveled

43:48

hot blonde chick, answered the door,

43:50

and I was like, Dave here?

43:52

He's sleeping. I was like, oh,

43:54

okay. And again, it was 12.

43:56

All right, well, tell him his

43:58

neighbor Adam came by sister's house

44:00

and she's like, yeah, all right,

44:02

and she shut the door. And

44:04

later on, we were doing love

44:06

line that night. I was like,

44:08

I went to girl's house and

44:10

went as flusies to answer the

44:12

door. Well, you know, it's rock

44:14

and roll, you know, blonde hair

44:16

and all dishevel, not rocking out

44:18

last night. They were getting married

44:20

or something. So I was trying

44:22

to explain that Flusie was a

44:24

term of endearment. Yeah. How did

44:26

that go? Not good. What was

44:28

the sense of humor rating on

44:30

that with the family, with the

44:32

girls? Not high? High. I don't

44:34

know. How it all ended up.

44:36

I think Dave came on love

44:38

line and maybe we had a

44:40

laugh about it or maybe didn't

44:42

we didn't have the pretty low

44:44

on the scale I can't remember

44:46

he's a nice guy and I

44:48

think it all it all turned

44:50

out pretty good but that was

44:52

as I was talking to Groll

44:54

Mrs. Groll I was trying to

44:56

wonder if that's part of the

44:58

story that's how much of this

45:00

story did she know or did

45:02

she just know the part about

45:04

living next door so I just

45:06

I kept it under my cap.

45:08

Well when she said something to

45:10

you, did she say hi Adam

45:12

or hi Adam? No she was

45:14

friendly because... Hello Adam. Exactly. Like

45:16

hello Newman. I thought I was

45:18

neighbors with her daughter. Okay. And

45:20

didn't realize. I don't think she

45:22

knew the flusy part and I

45:24

don't think she knew the I

45:26

didn't live there. Pretty part. Yeah.

45:29

Can I flood of theory to

45:31

you? Pretending the Dave Groll. Something

45:33

you mentioned earlier. I want you

45:35

thoughts on this. That song. Is

45:37

Dave Groll, okay you mentioned he

45:39

was a super high motor, he

45:41

has the energy, he was obviously

45:43

super talented, he's a great songwriter,

45:45

he's a great musician. Is he

45:47

also a, because he was in

45:49

Nirvana and I think he replaced

45:51

a drummer at the last minute

45:53

for that kind of blew up,

45:55

is he a clubhouse guy like

45:57

they say in baseball like a

45:59

guy that makes extra sense to

46:01

have him on the... roster because

46:03

they're good in the clubhouse they're

46:05

glue you know what I mean

46:07

they're they keep the people's they're

46:09

good to have around you like

46:11

being around them like is he

46:13

a clubhouse guy well I mean

46:15

obviously he's talented but you're saying

46:17

a lot of people are talented

46:19

you know there's there's something after

46:21

that makes you over the hump

46:23

in terms of you know super

46:25

famous or super successful or whatever

46:27

his motor is that thing but

46:29

you know band is a family

46:31

of a lot of many people

46:33

that has to travel. It's pretty

46:35

easy for everyone to get on

46:37

everyone's last nerve pretty quickly in

46:39

that environment. If we've seen time

46:41

and time again, I don't think

46:43

Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagar

46:45

are playing darts anywhere right now

46:47

over a pint. It's real easy

46:49

and he has to... Be

46:52

the lead singer but also has to

46:54

be you know Henry Kissinger too as

46:56

then sort of dead mom and keep

46:58

everyone together and make everyone happy and

47:01

all the wives feel good and all

47:03

the whole now there's kids involved and

47:05

all that kind of stuff and That's

47:07

part of that magic I think of

47:10

is keeping everybody everything's copacetic everyone's together.

47:12

No one's coming and going and going

47:14

and going and going and leaving and

47:16

you know is the out of Corolla

47:18

role of the band Yeah, shut up

47:21

all they're fucking talking about. Making sure

47:23

everyone's on the, on a cup of

47:25

a sec. Well, I'm saying is, yes,

47:27

theoretically, he, he, you know, you talked

47:30

to Pat Smear after the show, it's

47:32

like, he's happy. Yeah. And he's, you

47:34

know, they're going back out on the

47:36

road and then they're coming back to

47:39

Anaheim at some point, and we'll see

47:41

him there. And, you know, it's real

47:43

easy. for those kind of guys to

47:45

go real fast, you know, yeah, well,

47:47

his Highness is in the next room,

47:50

you know. Picking the Green Amendment. Yeah,

47:52

right. You want to say hi to

47:54

him? Good luck. Nobody ever said. Dave's

47:56

Dave. Nobody said Dave's Dave. All right.

48:02

All right, this Adam Quillow,

life hammer in the trunk of

52:07

the car. Now the two presents,

52:09

well Adam got two, Brian got

52:11

one, you're welcome. This is a

52:13

little bit of a dig but

52:16

also you can use it. This

52:18

is a reminder, just because I

52:20

know Brian likes socks I got

52:22

on these, but a reminder to

52:25

Adam to do his 12-hour walk.

52:27

Oh, did you get me the

52:29

darn tough wool socks? I swear

52:31

to God. thought about that 26

52:33

times. I got a order of

52:36

hair of those socks. I'm going

52:38

to take that walk. These are

52:40

the very fancy socks that Venice

52:42

said I could wear for 12

52:45

hours headed to New York in

52:47

a matter of days. There you

52:49

go. Oh, my God. Oh, that

52:51

is that is perfect. It's the

52:54

antithesis of a thoughtful gift because

52:56

and it is because for that.

52:58

It's not an expensive gift. It's

53:00

just a gift that I really

53:02

want and would have been way

53:05

too lazy to go online, find,

53:07

order, receive and take my 12-hour

53:09

walk. I would have doubled up

53:11

on some shorty hands. I'm so

53:14

glad. And the last little thing

53:16

for you just as another, just

53:18

to remind you to go on

53:20

your walk, is just one of

53:22

those little, instead of the stainless

53:25

steel canteens that we're all sick

53:27

of, this is the bag one.

53:29

It's just a water bag that

53:31

you can Caribbean that you can

53:34

Caribbean. your little belt loop sustainable

53:36

yeah so it's instead of carrying

53:38

a big heavy water bottle it's

53:40

just a little water bag beautiful

53:43

collaps silicone water bottle holds up

53:45

to I think 36 good for

53:47

so yeah yeah so go on

53:49

your walk and everybody keep yourself

53:51

from drowning in a car I

53:54

love it I'm ready to go.

53:56

And now I'm locked and loaded

53:58

and I cannot disappoint. Brian, did

54:00

you have something? I wrote down

54:03

what I think it is and

54:05

I hope I'm right. I think

54:07

Gina is going to be right.

54:09

Goodness, something to count earlier in

54:11

the year and as soon as

54:14

I mentioned it, no one had

54:16

even heard of this thing. I

54:18

was like, well, I don't want

54:20

my gift as for everyone. should

54:23

have. Yes, it's what I wanted.

54:25

Turn the battery on, as I'm

54:27

below. It's the picnic table fly

54:29

getawayer. Oh, it's not one of

54:32

those stand-done cocksuckers? Kind of. Oh,

54:34

here you do. Yeah, it could

54:36

be. Oh, yeah, it could be.

54:38

Oh, yeah. It stands up about

54:40

a foot tall. It looks collaps.

54:43

It is. Yeah, because it's sort

54:45

of telescopic that way. Keep the

54:47

flies away plus that reflective stuff

54:49

on the tip so it confuses

54:52

the flies. Yeah, this is exactly

54:54

what I was hoping for. Thank

54:56

you. This is this is awesome

54:58

and yeah I said when I

55:00

did catch a contractor we'd be

55:03

in the bowels of hell and

55:05

Corona in July is 110 degrees

55:07

and they would always lay out

55:09

craft service and they would lay

55:12

it all out. and everyone to

55:14

show up and there's to be

55:16

flies over everything and then you

55:18

get the net thing. And then

55:21

that thing's okay but... Yeah, A,

55:23

you have to get it, B,

55:25

have to work it, and then

55:27

have to put it back on,

55:29

and it just never... And a

55:32

determined fly will find a fly.

55:34

Yes, this is awesome. It's going

55:36

to change your life. There comes

55:38

a hard time, no flies anywhere.

55:41

Do they have a radius? Like,

55:43

if you were at a banquet

55:45

outside, would you get one of

55:47

these for every five foot of

55:49

table or some version of that?

55:52

The restaurants I've seen these at.

55:54

So they go beyond just the

55:56

radius of the blade. Yeah, I

55:58

don't know if you guys heard,

56:01

but not too long ago, I

56:03

was in Maui. And at monkey

56:05

pod, this restaurant, every table had

56:07

those in the middle. Yeah, those

56:09

are great. It's amazing that it

56:12

took this long for us to

56:14

figure this thing out, but it's

56:16

great. As you can tell, super

56:18

flimsy, they're going to keep the

56:21

flies out of your finger. Yeah,

56:23

you won't lose it. for my

56:25

walk. Yeah. You're welcome. Thank you.

56:27

Wow. It's exactly what I wanted.

56:30

Now Chris, I asked every year.

56:32

So this is our 12th. This

56:34

is our 13th. Did we do

56:36

one the first year? Got beautiful

56:38

favorite. Okay. We did not do

56:41

one the first year of the

56:43

podcast. We have been doing it

56:45

since the radio show in 2006.

56:47

Oh, and then we took a

56:50

year off for the first when

56:52

you started the podcast. Oh, 2010,

56:54

more likely? 2010, I think. More

56:56

likely? I mean, I can say

56:58

for sure. If we did it

57:01

the second year, but I can't

57:03

say for sure either. Well, we'll

57:05

figure it out. Either way, it's

57:07

our 12th, maybe our 13th, maybe

57:10

our 16th. It's our bar mitzvah

57:12

episode. It's a great show because

57:14

most of the clips aren't selected

57:16

by me. And I, the way

57:19

I'm wired, have no recollection often

57:21

times of some of these conversations,

57:23

rants, jokes, reenactments, what have you.

57:25

So we'll start. It is a

57:27

great show. I think Bruska said

57:30

it best. It's a great show.

57:32

A lot of fun. You remember

57:34

what he was highlighting in the?

57:36

Vegas, right? Yeah. First Vegas live

57:39

show? Yeah. Real hype man, yeah.

57:41

Yeah, during the commercials. It's got

57:43

to hype it up. He came

57:45

in and he said, what again,

57:47

Ron? He was the one. He

57:50

was like, you know, I put

57:52

up, you know, you know, you

57:54

don't play in it. Do it

57:56

like this. It's a great show,

57:59

a lot of fun. Oh my

58:01

God. All right. Our first category.

58:03

This is the 16th one you

58:05

guys have ever done, and we've

58:08

done as a show, yeah. So

58:10

we did three. Three in the

58:12

radio show and we started 2010.

58:14

Uh-huh. Did we do three at

58:16

the radio show? Because we would

58:19

have done... Oh, 6-0-0-8? Oh, yeah.

58:21

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. The description says that's

58:23

our fifth annual ace award. And

58:25

that's 2011. All right. And then

58:28

after we did it in 2008,

58:30

we all got fired. Yeah. That's

58:32

right. Mm-hmm. Livedar lesson. All right.

58:34

We landed on our feet and

58:36

our first, first announced, first category

58:39

is Best Impression, short form. The

58:41

nominees for Best Impression, short form,

58:43

58:45

Chappelle, like, the funny thing about

58:48

Dave is, Dave didn't grow up

58:50

poor like that, right? And it's

58:52

so funny because you would think

58:54

that they did like initially like

58:57

it was like they must have

58:59

came from the hill. But he

59:01

was, I never forget when he's

59:03

59:05

59:37

little bit later when he came

1:01:54

Here's a real driver. All right.

1:01:57

Now we move on. to interview

1:01:59

of the year. First nominee. First

1:02:01

nominee. Our first nominee for interview

1:02:03

of the year, Gene Simmons. I

1:02:06

love my mom till the very

1:02:08

end. She lived to be 94.

1:02:10

She was in the concentration camps

1:02:12

of Nazi Germany. Wow. At age

1:02:15

14. In Germany. Yeah, right outside.

1:02:17

You know, they had. camps and

1:02:19

Poland. Yeah, I didn't even, did

1:02:22

they have them in Germany? Very

1:02:24

few. There were two. Matausen, I

1:02:26

think. Yeah, so Boji, sister, older

1:02:28

sister, had the same thing. My

1:02:31

grandfather got the fuck out of

1:02:33

Hungary in like 39 or something.

1:02:35

And little known fact is the

1:02:37

Hungarians had the black shirts, the

1:02:40

fascists, who lined up Jews by

1:02:42

the Danube, the Duna as they

1:02:44

call. and they killed him, tossed

1:02:46

him in the, yeah. So your

1:02:49

mom was in a concentration camp?

1:02:51

When she was 14. But in

1:02:53

terms of how stuff, she was

1:02:55

working all her life. Once my

1:02:58

father left, she was mom and

1:03:00

dad and cook bottle washer, all

1:03:02

of it. How do you think

1:03:04

you would have turned out, what

1:03:07

would have been different if your

1:03:09

dad was there and loving and

1:03:11

sort of taking care of business?

1:03:14

What do you think? I don't

1:03:16

think as well, because I firmly

1:03:18

believe and call it delusional, that

1:03:20

to have a matriarchal figure is

1:03:23

beneficial. I know there's got to

1:03:25

have a male presence and all

1:03:27

that, but through my mother's eyes,

1:03:29

I understood. and her words are

1:03:32

true every day above ground is

1:03:34

a good day. Well you and

1:03:36

I complain about the traffic jam

1:03:38

and the first thing I said

1:03:41

to you when I walked in

1:03:43

is where are we? We're on

1:03:45

the border and all that nonsense

1:03:47

it means nothing. From my mother's

1:03:50

perspective there's nothing to complain about.

1:03:52

I'll give you a quick, when

1:03:54

we first came to America I

1:03:56

could and speak a word of

1:03:59

English, and in those early days

1:04:01

in the late 50s, 1850s, I

1:04:03

see what I did there, television

1:04:05

would go off the air by

1:04:08

about 11 o'clock or 12 o'clock

1:04:10

midnight. We had three or four

1:04:12

channels, that's it. And then you'd

1:04:15

see the S. And you'd hear

1:04:17

the black and white kind of

1:04:19

thing, and it goes off the

1:04:21

air. Right before that happened. television

1:04:24

stations would play. And you'd see

1:04:26

the billowing flag back and forth.

1:04:28

And I would, my mother would

1:04:30

let me stay up because next

1:04:33

day I'd have to get up

1:04:35

early in all that, six days

1:04:37

a week. Yeshiva went to regular

1:04:39

English stuff and then Bible stuff.

1:04:42

And I'd want to talk to

1:04:44

my mother and she was a

1:04:46

shh, shh, shh, shh. While that

1:04:48

song was playing and the flag

1:04:51

was billowing, my mother would watch

1:04:53

television and she would tear up.

1:04:55

And I didn't understand why my

1:04:57

mother was crying. And I still

1:05:00

get choked up. It wasn't until

1:05:02

years later that I understood, yeah,

1:05:04

she finally was in a country

1:05:06

where people weren't trying to kill

1:05:09

her and her family. And even

1:05:11

though we were living in like

1:05:13

a ghetto, $37 a month rent,

1:05:16

1:05:18

1:05:20

trying to kill you. It's... You

1:05:22

1:05:25

people, but they're right. It's a

1:05:27

blessed country. They're right. God bless

1:05:29

America. You bet your ass. I

1:05:31

1:08:11

Let me get started. I'm

1:08:13

Appuccino. You're about to watch

1:08:15

the personal touch directed by

1:08:17

my twin Bobby Hollander. You

1:08:19

are going to get aroused.

1:08:21

You are gonna get tight

1:08:24

pants? Where you're gonna think

1:08:26

you're shopping and you put

1:08:28

out pants that were too

1:08:30

tight? You need to go

1:08:32

to the Husky section to

1:08:34

accommodate all the bono juice

1:08:36

flowing through your crank. Yeah,

1:08:38

don't believe me? Watch it.

1:08:40

Don't say I didn't warn

1:08:42

you. You could mail your

1:08:44

seaman home to your father.

1:08:46

To your father. Yeah, all

1:08:48

right. Attica. Let's not focus

1:08:50

on the family. quite as

1:08:52

much, Alan. It's a family

1:08:54

movie, Adam, it's a personal

1:08:56

touch. If we could just

1:08:58

get three... They're all having

1:09:00

sex together. Now, if we

1:09:02

could just get three clean

1:09:04

personal touches for that we

1:09:06

could just go ahead and

1:09:08

use for promotional stuff, give

1:09:10

us some choices, you know?

1:09:13

I got you. For the

1:09:15

senses. I'm Al Pacino, you're

1:09:17

about to watch the personal

1:09:19

touch. This was filmed on

1:09:21

videotape in my space to

1:09:23

give you the best possible...

1:09:25

Experience. It's an incredible movie.

1:09:27

I put my name on

1:09:29

it. I write it in

1:09:31

Jizz all over your fucking

1:09:33

things. All over your fucking

1:09:35

canons. Get on your knees

1:09:37

here, and do your fucking

1:09:39

job. I'm swimming in the

1:09:41

ocean with Jim War. And

1:09:43

that's not even an ocean.

1:09:45

That is all the fluids

1:09:47

that these people shot on

1:09:49

set that day. You know

1:09:51

we had to do? 74

1:09:53

takes? Because Sharon Mitchell could

1:09:55

not get fucked enough. It

1:09:59

was crazy she had I'm

1:10:01

sorry, let me start off.

1:10:03

Just three personal touches. Liberty

1:10:05

Mutual. Darryl Hammond. Regis was

1:10:07

really hard for me to

1:10:09

do because Dana had done

1:10:11

him so brilliantly. So I

1:10:13

had to look for one

1:10:15

little thing that Dana hadn't

1:10:17

done and I finally decided

1:10:19

it was a mazality. Regis

1:10:21

had to think what he

1:10:24

was. You know, with a

1:10:26

thought, Joey and I went

1:10:28

down in a cave into

1:10:30

a water that was a

1:10:32

thousand years old. It was

1:10:34

a thousand years old. So

1:10:36

this event underground with a

1:10:38

ton of secret service in

1:10:40

most of the Republican Party

1:10:42

and my job was to

1:10:44

dress up as Clinton and

1:10:47

tell jokes. Wow. About them,

1:10:49

and in particular, make fun

1:10:51

of him, poking him a

1:10:53

little bit. Some of them

1:10:55

like a boy that Dick

1:10:57

Cheney with his heart heart

1:10:59

condition and his face magger

1:11:01

Every time he sneezes up

1:11:03

at the garage door opens

1:11:05

Right chain is like yeah,

1:11:07

what is that? Yeah, what

1:11:09

is that? You know what?

1:11:12

Bush was this person who

1:11:14

was like utterly himself, you

1:11:16

know and the guy he

1:11:18

did things I never saw

1:11:20

people do he I think

1:11:22

it's like stop talking in

1:11:24

the middle of a sentence

1:11:26

because he's lost interest in

1:11:28

the sentence and you know

1:11:30

be talking to me like

1:11:32

I appreciate your hard work

1:11:35

and I take care. Does

1:11:37

Jesse ever have casual conversations

1:11:39

like was he if you're

1:11:41

hanging out with his friends

1:11:43

and one of his friends

1:11:45

says, Jesse, think you like

1:11:47

some dinner? I saw it

1:11:49

was at that apparatus in

1:11:51

motion. I said it was

1:11:53

at that apparatus. I love

1:11:55

porn. I got a sex

1:11:57

toy. I got time hangs

1:12:00

for five. I love it.

1:12:02

I love it. I love

1:12:04

porn. I love porn. I

1:12:06

got a sex toy. I

1:12:08

think a lot of people

1:12:10

know it is the woody.

1:12:12

The woody. I was looking

1:12:14

at Liam Neeson, pitching personal

1:12:16

touch. I don't know if

1:12:18

that would sound like that.

1:12:20

I don't know who you

1:12:22

are. I don't know what

1:12:25

you want, but I can

1:12:27

tell you that I offer

1:12:29

a very particular set of

1:12:31

skills with my fingers and

1:12:33

mouth. And I will find

1:12:35

you. And I will pleasure

1:12:37

you. Yeah, I'm down. I'm

1:12:39

seeing here you do Sam

1:12:41

Elliot, and I know you

1:12:43

hated Power the Dog, which...

1:12:45

Let me just say this

1:12:48

about Power the Dog. I

1:12:50

actually didn't see the movie.

1:12:52

Well, but then why the

1:12:54

big critique? I was put

1:12:56

on the spot and there

1:12:58

was about four cases in

1:13:00

of course life. Oh, course,

1:13:02

yeah. It's what's for dinner.

1:13:04

It's the water that comes

1:13:06

right off the mountain and

1:13:08

into my gullet. I literally

1:13:10

lay at the base of

1:13:13

a mountain and suck on

1:13:15

that rock all day. So,

1:13:17

you know, but you didn't

1:13:19

like the new fangled western,

1:13:21

you know, with the guys,

1:13:23

with their chapsps, and no

1:13:25

pants under them. I like

1:13:27

when men don't say nothing

1:13:29

to one another around a

1:13:31

campfire and there's just a

1:13:33

lot of pent up feelings

1:13:36

inside as we stare in

1:13:38

like sharing I've never shared

1:13:40

anything in my life not

1:13:42

with another person not with

1:13:44

only thing I've ever shared

1:13:46

and that's not true I

1:13:48

share a bed with a

1:13:50

horse oh you're sure about

1:13:52

the horse like the godfather

1:13:54

I said not just the

1:13:56

head the whole horse and

1:14:03

Godfrey. Here's what's funny. He never

1:14:05

would come out, but then I

1:14:08

was doing really well as the

1:14:10

warm-up. I was just, and you

1:14:13

couldn't do, there was no singing

1:14:15

songs, you know how you go

1:14:17

to a place and there, I

1:14:20

couldn't throw no t-shirts, they were

1:14:22

like, you have to be clean,

1:14:24

you can answer questions, and you

1:14:27

just got to come up with

1:14:29

shit. I was doing it. I

1:14:31

just doing cause me something made

1:14:34

me do and I was like,

1:14:36

you see, because people have to

1:14:39

understand if we are here and

1:14:41

within the people and all of

1:14:43

a sudden I'm getting a big

1:14:46

ass laugh, right? I'm thinking, damn,

1:14:48

I'm killing. That fuck is right

1:14:50

behind me. And he's standing there

1:14:53

and I turn everyone's like, ah!

1:14:55

He's like, I do not talk

1:14:57

like that, why are you imitating

1:15:00

me? I said, yes you do,

1:15:02

sir. Boom, place when it exists.

1:15:05

By the way, there's no difference

1:15:07

when you just did that. Yeah,

1:15:09

I couldn't even tell. You were

1:15:12

right. I'm going to close my

1:15:14

eyes, do it again. Okay. Adam

1:15:16

Corolla, I just want to say,

1:15:19

who is the dude that is

1:15:21

on your show? I see, I

1:15:23

don't know if that's the Godfrey

1:15:26

Cosme or Cosme. That's how good

1:15:28

I am. That's how good he

1:15:31

is. Wow, now that's tough because

1:15:33

a lot of guys did multiple

1:15:35

impressions. Murders row right there. But

1:15:38

I tell you, I got a

1:15:40

soft spot in my heart for

1:15:42

Jay Moore. It just makes me

1:15:45

laugh every time. Inspiring choice to

1:15:47

write this up in a short

1:15:49

form and long form because we

1:15:52

get a little bit of reenactment.

1:15:54

Yeah, it's wrinkle in there. All

1:15:57

right. Good choice. Friend of the

1:15:59

show and all around great guy.

1:16:01

And he worked his ass off

1:16:04

in his last appearance, playing that

1:16:06

game with us, playing passwords. Oh

1:16:08

yeah, a lot of calories burned.

1:16:11

Oh yeah. By the way, my

1:16:13

books out there for sale, everything

1:16:15

reminds me of something, so if

1:16:18

you guys, I think it's still

1:16:20

time for the holidays. Go on

1:16:23

Amazon, read the reviews if you

1:16:25

like what you hear and then

1:16:27

grab it. The audio book is

1:16:30

well, where Dawson reads the questions

1:16:32

and I give the answers, a

1:16:34

very satisfying format. All right, so

1:16:37

now we go on to rant

1:16:39

of the year. Oh boy. I

1:16:41

guess that one has me in

1:16:44

it. Our first nominee for rant

1:16:46

of the year. COVID news hysteria.

1:16:49

Let's look at it like a

1:16:51

pandemic movie. All the people who've

1:16:53

been telling us how dangerous it

1:16:56

is for the last two years,

1:16:58

whether it be the four mentioned

1:17:00

Newsom or Garcetti or Barbara Ferrer,

1:17:03

the hell, whatever, LA City Council,

1:17:05

teachers unions. Every talking head on

1:17:08

CNN and everyone who writes a

1:17:10

column on the LA Times. How

1:17:12

come none of them are dead?

1:17:15

Shouldn't they be dead? Shouldn't some

1:17:17

of them? I mean, maybe not

1:17:19

Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon and

1:17:22

Sanjay Gupta, but one of them,

1:17:24

shouldn't somebody go, hey, we can't

1:17:26

do Joey Reed show today because

1:17:29

she's dead? Because she's dead. And

1:17:31

we can't have a city council

1:17:34

meeting on masking because two of

1:17:36

the city council members got COVID

1:17:38

in their debt. And we can't

1:17:41

write a column in the LA

1:17:43

Times about how dangerous COVID is

1:17:45

for kids. Because the columnist died.

1:17:48

Or the mayor died. Or the

1:17:50

governor died. Or the regional supervisor

1:17:52

died. Where are the dead people?

1:17:55

Shouldn't I turn on CNN and

1:17:57

just wire all the anchors from

1:18:00

two years ago still alive when

1:18:02

we're in the middle of the

1:18:04

fucking deadly pandemic? How come they're

1:18:07

not dead? No one's dead. Where

1:18:09

are you? All the people told

1:18:11

me how deadly it was are

1:18:14

not dead. How did that happen?

1:18:16

If you approach life thinking like

1:18:18

that... It'll clear things up pretty

1:18:21

quickly because everyone's telling you this

1:18:23

is a disaster and it's very

1:18:26

dangerous and high mortality, whatever, but

1:18:28

nobody telling you that, they're all

1:18:30

back the next day. And or,

1:18:33

oh he got it, he's out

1:18:35

for three days. But then he's

1:18:37

doing the show from his basement.

1:18:40

Do that kind of math. You

1:18:42

can look at graphs and numbers

1:18:44

and that'll add something, but do

1:18:47

this math. All right, we also

1:18:49

have caller of the year, caller

1:18:52

of the year, that's inducing. The

1:18:54

nominees for caller of the year

1:18:56

are Matthew from Omaha. Matthew, Omaha,

1:18:59

what? Seven? Hold on. say to

1:19:01

infinity and beyond when it's not

1:19:03

even possible. Yeah, Matthew, that's a

1:19:06

good, that's an existential question. Yeah,

1:19:08

that's like very philosophical. Well, uh,

1:19:10

speaking as Captain Nebula. Yeah, that's

1:19:13

right, Captain Nebula. I was this

1:19:15

captain. I was this, uh, CEO

1:19:18

is commanding officer Matthew for a

1:19:20

hundred episodes of some. thing on

1:19:22

Disney a million years ago? So

1:19:25

you're perfect to speak on this?

1:19:27

Yeah, that, he just found that

1:19:29

scribbled on the inside of a

1:19:32

stall in the bathroom that we

1:19:34

use at headquarters. And he just

1:19:36

liked it? Is that canon? I've

1:19:39

always wondered that. And took off

1:19:41

with it. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Did you

1:19:44

see the latest movie, Matthew? John

1:19:49

from Wisconsin. John 41 Wisconsin.

1:19:51

You got some football player

1:19:53

names? I got a quarterback

1:19:55

for you. The long toss.

1:19:57

The long toss. That's good.

1:20:00

You got a running back

1:20:02

for you. He's not the

1:20:04

best in the league, but

1:20:06

if you need a good

1:20:08

backup, he's alright. He's, uh,

1:20:10

the mark is short. The

1:20:12

mark is short. Wow, that

1:20:14

is good. You better write

1:20:16

these down, Maxapada. Got a

1:20:18

wide receiver for you, Darren

1:20:20

gone. Say it again. There

1:20:22

are gone. Oh, gone. They

1:20:24

said, God. Okay, right. How

1:20:26

about a field goal kicker?

1:20:28

Three points. Hmm. Great points.

1:20:30

Good, man. Three points. Good,

1:20:32

man. Three points. I got

1:20:34

a lineman here for you.

1:20:36

He's got a little bit

1:20:38

of notoriety in the locker

1:20:40

room. He's a long Johnson.

1:20:43

It's good. I like the

1:20:45

setup. And then I noticed

1:20:47

a lack of diversity on

1:20:49

your team, so I got

1:20:51

one like that for you.

1:20:53

He's Jewish. You've got

1:20:55

some moves within slomo replay.

1:20:57

That's good. Sign this guy

1:21:00

up. Anchongo from Danger Island.

1:21:02

Korea broke out, so I

1:21:04

decided to go in the

1:21:06

army and went to boot

1:21:09

camp at Fort Benning and

1:21:11

learned how to be a

1:21:13

paratroop. You end up in

1:21:15

Korea and then there's the

1:21:18

part that seems insane which

1:21:20

is captured, prisoner of war,

1:21:22

firing squad, mass grave? Paratroopy?

1:21:24

Yeah. Well no, we got

1:21:27

captured. We were in a

1:21:29

different balloon. We went behind

1:21:31

enemy lines. All the scavenger

1:21:33

of us paratroopers. That was

1:21:36

the 187th and got captured.

1:21:38

We were brought to a

1:21:40

prison camp and then one

1:21:42

morning we were brought out

1:21:45

in a truck. And lined

1:21:47

up, it was about, I

1:21:49

don't know, maybe two, three

1:21:51

hundred of us, lined up

1:21:54

and they had bulldozers there

1:21:56

and they had dug a

1:21:58

big hole and they were

1:22:00

thinking, we didn't know what

1:22:03

was going on, but what

1:22:05

they were going to do

1:22:07

is they were going to

1:22:09

kill us and bury us,

1:22:12

which they did. So how

1:22:14

did that walk us through

1:22:16

that? to be interesting. I

1:22:18

can't walk to sue it.

1:22:21

I kind of stayed there

1:22:23

and I kind of watched

1:22:25

the person that was shooting

1:22:27

at me watching their finger

1:22:30

and when I saw it

1:22:32

he pulled the trigger I

1:22:34

fell into the hole with

1:22:37

the rest of their piece.

1:22:39

And then did they bury

1:22:41

you guys alive or are

1:22:43

you alive? And I didn't

1:22:46

know where I was upside

1:22:48

down, inside out, but I

1:22:50

kept digging and digging, and

1:22:52

I checked the people that

1:22:55

were laying on me to

1:22:57

get air pockets. And finally,

1:22:59

it felt like, it felt

1:23:01

like a hundred hours. I

1:23:04

finally got to the top

1:23:06

and felt air and looked

1:23:08

out, and all these guys

1:23:10

were drinking and laughing and

1:23:13

tickling. And I waited there

1:23:15

until it got dark and

1:23:17

crawled out into the trees

1:23:19

and forest and made it

1:23:22

back to my company. Oh

1:23:24

my God. Did anyone else

1:23:26

make it out of the

1:23:28

mass grave? Not that I

1:23:31

know, to this state. Uh-oh,

1:23:33

Chungko! He doesn't win, I'm

1:23:35

leaving. With respect out of

1:23:37

the other nominees, as Chung

1:23:40

goes to lose. I agree.

1:23:42

Kim Kahana Chungo! Oh yeah,

1:23:44

well deserved. Yes, well deserved,

1:23:46

interesting life. And that was

1:23:49

just a tiny part of

1:23:51

his story. History was insane.

1:23:53

People used to just kind

1:23:55

of live back then. They

1:23:58

travel, they hitchhike, and they

1:24:00

hang out with relatives. It's

1:24:02

funny, all that poverty and

1:24:04

no safety net, we don't

1:24:07

really have homeless people. True.

1:24:09

It was just like, every

1:24:11

story that you hear from

1:24:14

these guys. They had some

1:24:16

distant relatives somewhere, lived in

1:24:18

Long Beach, and they just

1:24:20

stayed on their sofa until

1:24:23

they blah blah blah blah

1:24:25

and then they signed up

1:24:27

and became a merchant marine

1:24:29

and then they left. And

1:24:32

am I mixing him with

1:24:34

someone else or didn't Kim

1:24:36

ride the rails to New

1:24:38

York to find out, to

1:24:41

find somebody his dad had

1:24:43

worked with? Can you state

1:24:45

with him? There was always

1:24:47

a way. Always a way.

1:24:50

All right. Now we have

1:24:52

the next, or the first

1:24:54

installment. Or is this the

1:24:56

second? Second. Interview of the

1:24:59

Year. Our second nominee for

1:25:01

interview of the year. Henry

1:25:03

Winkler. I had all the

1:25:05

letters delivered, 50,000 letters a

1:25:08

week delivered to my apartment.

1:25:10

and I would try and

1:25:12

read as many as I

1:25:14

could because it was so

1:25:17

scary to leave my apartment

1:25:19

when I wasn't working. And

1:25:21

I came across a letter.

1:25:23

Yeah, we think you should

1:25:26

have the funds on the

1:25:28

TV more. You should write

1:25:30

bigger stories for the funds.

1:25:32

My mother wrote a fan

1:25:35

letter to ABC. And I

1:25:37

found it. in this pile

1:25:39

of fan mail. Wow. Your

1:25:41

parents stayed together and just

1:25:44

sort of fought and did

1:25:46

battle? Yeah, but you know,

1:25:48

mostly the battle was at

1:25:50

me. I don't remember hearing

1:25:53

them. I'll tell you what

1:25:55

I do remember. 14 years

1:25:57

old. We go to Boston.

1:26:00

to to visit

1:26:02

cousins, And I am and I

1:26:04

am somehow fixed up

1:26:06

with this young lady

1:26:08

who's a a little older

1:26:10

than I am, but

1:26:12

I am smitten. And I somehow

1:26:15

I I went, I went I went

1:26:17

to the movies with her. her,

1:26:19

I maybe we just had

1:26:21

a Coke or something, but I

1:26:24

but I was, she jumped

1:26:26

into my heart. I

1:26:29

wrote her letters And you know, I

1:26:32

know I was like the joke

1:26:34

where I I would be in know

1:26:36

knee -deep in paper crumbled up

1:26:38

because I had made a

1:26:40

mistake and started it again I

1:26:42

I couldn't spell and so I

1:26:44

didn't want to cross out

1:26:46

a letter or I thought of

1:26:48

a better way to I sentence

1:26:50

a better I finally sent this

1:26:52

letter off to this young girl

1:26:55

young girl in Massachusetts.

1:26:58

And I never never heard

1:27:00

back. if I was

1:27:02

heartbroken. and I went I

1:27:04

went into my

1:27:06

father's top drawer in

1:27:08

his, you know,

1:27:10

credenza in his bedroom.

1:27:12

in his for something.

1:27:15

for something, and I found

1:27:17

all the letters that that

1:27:20

young that young

1:27:22

lady wrote that

1:27:24

were were never delivered

1:27:27

to you all those how long

1:27:29

I mean all right right how a

1:27:31

a period of time

1:27:33

had gone by gone by years oh

1:27:36

years wow now why then

1:27:38

why would one do that

1:27:40

because I tell you why

1:27:42

yes they thought I should

1:27:44

not be distracted because I

1:27:46

would get geometry if I just

1:27:48

concentrate Yeah,

1:27:50

I I remember that so clearly. clearly.

1:27:53

That's child abuse. It's weird.

1:27:55

It's kind of haunting. Yeah. And And

1:27:57

favorite. Dawson, that is best. Yeah,

1:33:39

I don't know when

1:33:41

I came up with

1:33:43

that bit, but Alcoa sponsors that

1:33:45

bid because, you know who know

1:33:47

is? is? They're

1:33:50

manufacturer. Because you knew

1:33:52

they'd never

1:33:54

come after you?

1:33:56

come after you? No, because...

1:33:58

When I was was

1:34:00

like you was

1:34:02

like, you make the call.

1:34:05

Alcoa. NFL like when I

1:34:07

was 14 I'd sit around

1:34:09

and Alcoa presents you make

1:34:11

the call it's fourth down

1:34:13

he fumbles the ball forward

1:34:15

is it a first down

1:34:17

he recovered his own fumble

1:34:19

and then you'd have to

1:34:22

figure out well is it

1:34:24

can he fumble his own

1:34:26
