1:32

Wade, Wade, Wade, Wade, in...

1:35

Which bridge are you in,

1:37

Wade? Swade Bridge, you've

1:39

never been here? In

1:41

Swayde Bridge, yes, I have,

1:44

I've been through Swayde Bridge,

1:46

I've never stopped

1:48

though. Suede bridge

1:50

like the like the footwear. Oh

1:53

because okay because there's a sweet

1:55

bridge also which is like a

1:57

little Sweden kind of thing but suede

1:59

bridge Oh, I've never been there.

2:01

What is that like? Have you been

2:04

there? Is it snowy all the

2:06

time? It isn't. There is snow.

2:08

I've only driven through it. I've

2:10

never been to Swayde Bridge,

2:12

though. It's pretty cool. You know,

2:14

it's a happening place. We got

2:17

a coffee shop now. It's pretty

2:19

nice. That's pretty sweet.

2:21

I thought you were going to say it

2:23

was Swayde Bridge, like the

2:26

band Swayde. Well,

2:28

we do actually have swayed

2:31

days here every every August.

2:33

You too. We do. Yeah, Bernard

2:35

Butler has been here a

2:37

couple times. Okay, very cool.

2:40

And we have a display

2:42

on a permanent display. I

2:44

don't know if you knew

2:46

this that Brett Anderson in

2:48

the early days of swayed,

2:50

he would wear these old

2:52

ratty van shoes. Remember vans?

2:54

You know, the skateboard shoes.

2:57

Yeah. He would

2:59

wear a pair like like for a

3:01

long time he wore a pair or

3:03

same pair or something. Is that what

3:06

you're saying? Yeah, the same pair. He

3:08

would wear them for months

3:10

and months and months and

3:12

he wouldn't go on stage

3:14

without them and We were fortunate

3:16

that he sent the vans

3:19

over and they're on permanent

3:21

display and in the in

3:23

the Swaybridge courthouse. That's

3:26

very cool Wade Hey, I

3:28

wanted to weigh in on

3:30

the topic if that's cool.

3:33

Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The

3:35

worst fans. Worst fans.

3:37

All right, so I think

3:39

it was 1988. I saw kiss

3:42

on the Crazy Nights

3:44

tour. Uh-huh. And the

3:46

opener was an R&D

3:49

musician named

3:51

Ted Nugent. Wait,

3:55

an R&B musician

3:58

named Ted Nugent.

4:00

That's how he describes

4:02

his music. You know,

4:05

he does, he does

4:07

talk about that, that

4:10

guy thinks because he

4:12

is from Detroit, that

4:14

somehow he is, because

4:17

he's from a city

4:19

called Motown, he thinks

4:22

he's like, has something

4:24

in common with the

4:27

music label Motown. Oh

4:30

yeah, well he's also said

4:32

he's black. Well I have

4:34

news for him, he's not.

4:37

I agree, I agree. So

4:39

this leads me to, yeah

4:41

we're headed, we're headed here.

4:43

Yeah, what's that way? So

4:46

I see this show at

4:48

the old Newbridge arena and

4:50

Ted was supporting his then

4:53

current album, if you can't,

4:55

Lickham, Lickham. Is that the

4:57

one with the Lady Boxer

4:59

on the cover? Yes, yes,

5:02

yes, he's all oiled up

5:04

and of course who could

5:06

forget the first single from,

5:09

if you can't lick him,

5:11

lick him. I don't know

5:13

what it is. Oh, it

5:16

was called, the harder they

5:18

come, the harder I get.

5:20

I... God. Oh, Ted. I

5:22

believed I'm still bleeping it.

5:25

I still might be believing

5:27

it wait. But I stopped

5:29

believing it. I stopped leaping

5:32

it. Oh, okay. So, um,

5:34

at that show, there was

5:36

this guy who I could

5:38

only describe as a biker

5:41

mutant. Okay. Do you you

5:43

happen to recall the Lisa

5:45

Jane Perske vehicle? Kist meets

5:48

the phantom of the park.

5:50

Yes, I would describe it

5:52

more as a kiss vehicle,

5:54

but maybe not a Lisa

5:57

Jane Persky vehicle, but that's

5:59

fair Yeah, they're

6:02

in it too. Kiss.

6:04

Yes, kiss or in

6:06

kiss meets the phantom

6:08

of the park. Yeah,

6:10

yeah. So, this guy

6:12

in the crowd looked

6:14

just like the leader

6:16

of the gang she

6:18

was in in the

6:20

movie Chopper. Remember Chopper?

6:22

From the movie? I

6:24

don't. I don't. I

6:26

haven't seen it in

6:28

a long time. Oh

6:30

my God. Okay. Okay.

6:32

Well. least his iconic

6:34

line about shopper was,

6:36

chopper don't like that.

6:38

Anyway, so, okay, so,

6:40

um, just before Ted

6:42

Nugent goes on, this

6:44

Newton guy, he's parading

6:47

around the arena with

6:49

a giant piece of

6:51

poster board that says,

6:53

hey, Ted, play strangeholds.

6:55

Which is a spelling

6:57

mistake. Because he

6:59

has a song stranglehold. He

7:01

misspelled stranglehold on the sign

7:04

that he brought from home.

7:06

Hey Ted, play strange hold.

7:08

Yes. So he is walking

7:11

up and down every aisle

7:13

on the floor making sure

7:15

everyone sees it. And everyone's

7:18

just kind of like, oh

7:20

yeah. Yeah. And nobody really

7:22

says anything. And then a

7:25

few songs into Ted's head

7:27

set, everyone's watching as the

7:30

mutin guy walks right down

7:32

the center aisle and gets

7:34

in front of Ted and

7:37

he holds his side and

7:39

Ted's face and we're all

7:41

just waiting for what Ted's

7:44

going to do and he

7:46

sees him telling him. He's

7:48

just eating something weird and

7:51

you can hear him go.

7:53

That's the best thing. And

7:55

do you think the music

7:58

of kiss was inspiring him

8:00

to do that? And I

8:02

didn't see him again until

8:05

the until maybe the last

8:07

of kiss is song if

8:10

I look over and he's

8:12

standing on a pile of

8:14

folding chairs stomping it. And

8:17

do you think the music

8:19

of kiss was inspiring him

8:21

to do that or was

8:24

it anger over the misspelled

8:26

sign? I think

8:28

underneath it all was anger

8:31

about the misspelled sign. Yeah.

8:33

Hey Ted, play Strange Hope.

8:35

Play Strange Hold. Do you

8:37

remember what song KISS were

8:40

playing when he was stomping

8:42

the chairs? Uh, it was

8:44

probably, by that point, it

8:47

was probably, uh, shouted out

8:49

loud. Sure. is my motto.

8:51

Yeah, I mean, one of

8:53

the things I like about

8:56

a kiss concert is that

8:58

Paul Stanley will go backstage

9:00

and he'll ask people, what's

9:03

the local drink here in

9:05

this town? Right. And they'll

9:07

say, oh, vodka and orange

9:10

juice. And then he goes

9:12

on stage and he says,

9:14

I know you guys here

9:16

in this city like to

9:19

drink vodka and orange juice.

9:21

He does the research and

9:23

then he says that because

9:26

the people like to take

9:28

a taste of alcohol and

9:30

Then sometimes they like tequila,

9:32

but he I mean what

9:35

happens? What does Peter do

9:37

when he says some people

9:39

like tequila doctor to get

9:42

to get to get like

9:44

some like covert light lightly

9:46

racist maybe like well, no,

9:49

no, it's just you know,

9:51

it's It's a Mexican sound.

9:53

He plays Mexican sound. Yeah,

9:55

he plays a Mexican sound

9:58

on his drums with the

10:00

when tequila is mentioned. But

10:02

then he says a lot

10:05

of people, he likes when

10:07

fans drink cold gin. Yeah,

10:09

because it tastes so good.

10:11

Because it tastes so good.

10:14

I mean, well, I mean,

10:16

what would you rather do

10:18

after playing 90 minutes of

10:21

soccer? You'd want something cool

10:23

and refreshing. And then flavorful.

10:26

Like, mmm, this is really

10:29

tasty cold gin. It's cold.

10:31

I tried it warm and

10:33

I don't like it as

10:36

much. I don't like warm

10:38

gin. Yeah, those are the

10:41

moments. Yeah, when you say

10:43

yourself, I don't know if

10:45

anyone in KISS has ever

10:48

consumed alcohol ever. Wade, I

10:50

appreciate that story about seeing

10:53

Ted Nugent live. That's very

10:55

funny. Thank you. Hey look,

10:58

I want to say this

11:00

to get serious. I know

11:02

it's a tough time for

11:05

you and all the writers

11:07

out there and I just

11:10

want you to know that

11:12

I send my support to

11:15

you and everybody on the

11:17

picket line there. Thank you.

11:19

Thank you, Wade. I appreciate

11:22

that. Yeah. Um, I did

11:24

want to ask this though.

11:27

Is it true that the

11:29

WGA asked you not to

11:31

be out on the pocketline?

11:34

Asked who? You. Oh, me

11:36

specifically. No, no, that's, that

11:39

is not true. Oh, I

11:41

read, I read something like

11:44

a blurbin, um, by already

11:46

about it. I don't have

11:48

it handy, but, um, I

11:51

just assumed it was because,

11:53

you know, because of this.

11:56

shows you wrote for. I'm

11:58

sorry? Well,

12:01

you know, I'm looking

12:03

at your your IMDB

12:05

right now and it

12:07

looks like you've been

12:09

involved in some Frankly

12:11

some pretty offensive shows

12:13

for the shout network

12:15

over the years Okay,

12:17

I want to see

12:19

where this goes Well,

12:21

okay. Well up here.

12:23

Oh my god. There

12:25

was that awful sitcom

12:27

called wait who am

12:29

I here that was

12:31

a It started Jim

12:34

J Bullock and it

12:36

was spun off from

12:38

that horror film The

12:40

Stepfather. Mm-hmm. There's that.

12:42

Let's see it. What

12:44

else here? P-O-box one,

12:46

another awful sitcom. It

12:48

was about Mugger Chuck

12:50

and the gang at

12:52

SST Records back in

12:54

the early 80s. Although

12:57

I will say it

12:59

was pretty ingenious for

13:01

them to cast Austin's

13:03

Tom Sholes as Greg

13:06

in. Pretty much a

13:08

dead ringer, right? Yeah.

13:10

You know, scuttle but

13:12

from the set that

13:14

I read over the

13:16

years was that Tom

13:18

Sholes was a pretty

13:21

terrible actor and he

13:23

couldn't remember his lines.

13:25

So. Whenever he was

13:27

on screen with dialogue,

13:29

he was always engrossed

13:31

in a copy of

13:33

that fanzine flipside. Remember

13:35

flipside? I do. I

13:38

do remember flipside. Yeah.

13:40

Yeah, it was like

13:42

a West Coast punk

13:44

scene. Yeah, a lot

13:46

of coverage of Sandy

13:48

Duncan's eye. He's

13:51

always engrossed in a copy

13:53

of Flipside and his lines

13:55

were written in the magazine

13:58

so he would never look

14:00

at the person he was

14:02

speaking to. while they were

14:05

doing the scene. So like

14:07

his face was just engrossed

14:09

in the magazine because he

14:12

was reading in lines. And

14:14

it was like Paul Metler's

14:16

speech and election. Okay. Yeah.

14:19

What other shows? Oh, this

14:21

was terrible. I can't believe

14:23

you were involved in this.

14:26

The Trump trampoline? Oh,

14:28

don't pretend you don't

14:30

know what it was.

14:32

Okay. Well, it was

14:35

a reality show where

14:37

contestants compete to see

14:39

who can bounce the

14:41

highest on a trampoline

14:43

made out of a

14:45

pair of President Trump's

14:47

giant blue dress pants.

14:49

Been last long. It

14:52

should have been called the

14:54

trumpling. It should have been

14:56

called the trumpling. Those pants

14:58

are very loose and very

15:00

baggy. Sometimes you wonder like

15:02

if you have food up

15:04

in there. It's like if

15:06

you've ever gone to get

15:09

a suit and they first

15:11

just put the suit on

15:13

you, then they have to

15:15

take it for alterations. It's

15:17

like he just said, no,

15:19

I'm good and he walked

15:21

out. with the

15:23

very loose, before they,

15:25

before they made any

15:28

adjustments to it. No,

15:30

no adjustments. They didn't

15:32

really do anything to

15:34

it. Oh wait. Oh

15:36

my God, I'm sorry.

15:39

This is the IMDB

15:41

for Tim Sharpling. Yes,

15:43

I was waiting for.

15:45

Oh, okay. Sorry. Well,

15:47

are, are, are you

15:50

related to him? Oh,

15:54

thank God. Looks like he's

15:56

in jail right now for

15:59

murder. Oh my goodness. Really?

16:01

Wow. Yeah, I mean, look,

16:04

I don't know if I'm

16:06

right. As far as I

16:09

know, I'm not related to

16:11

the guy. That's here says

16:14

he came unhinged and it's

16:16

sanguination has landlord in 2019.

16:19

Oh my goodness. That's brutal.

16:21

Exanguination is no joke. It

16:24

really isn't. It needs to

16:26

be better, better understood. Yeah.

16:29

I wouldn't say it's

16:32

really a commitment though.

16:34

It's not impressive. It's

16:36

gross. I think it's

16:38

impressive to a person

16:40

who does it. Well,

16:42

no, I'm saying it's

16:45

like of all the

16:47

ways to murder somebody,

16:49

you're really taking a,

16:51

making a real commitment

there. So, Joe, it's

19:38

on and they start interrogating

19:40

me about a murder suspect

19:42

who was on my running

19:44

team, something like that. Yeah.

19:47

So you think you could

19:49

play a part like that?

19:51

Oh, yeah. Okay,

19:55

I'm not sure what

19:57

I'm hearing here. Todd?

20:02

Sure, I knew him.

20:04

Good running companion. A

20:06

very low BMI. Rarely

20:08

cardio loaded before a

20:10

run right at Bartlett's.

20:12

What's he in trouble?

20:15

And then Marista Hargate

20:17

says, his wife's body

20:19

was just pulled out

20:21

of the Hudson and

20:23

then I stopped cold

20:25

and I say, oh

20:27

man. I know Todd

20:29

knew she was doing

20:31

the unskenny bop with

20:33

her law partner, but

20:35

I sure didn't think

20:37

it was going to

20:39

end like this. Something

20:42

like that. That sound,

20:44

what is the sound

20:46

going on here? How's

20:48

that happening? I don't

20:50

know, you tell me.

20:52

You tell me! Well

20:54

that was, I gotta

20:56

say this, Wade. I've

20:58

heard worse acting than

21:00

that. See, I'm pretty

21:02

good. I gotta say,

21:04

you're not bad. Yeah,

21:06

yeah, I think, yeah,

21:09

they always talk about

21:11

the walk and talk

21:13

on that show. I'm

21:15

gonna do the run

21:17

and talk. So you'll

21:19

always be running? Yeah,

21:21

yeah, I mean, if

21:23

I can get recurring

21:25

roles, yes, absolutely. But

21:27

always as a runner.

21:31

Could be. I talked to

21:33

my agent Kim Dennis about

21:35

it. He's great. Hey, speaking

21:37

at TV programs. Yeah, what's

21:39

what's that, Wade? A few

21:41

weeks ago, a delightful caller

21:43

was talking about what he

21:46

called cross-pollination on hit TV

21:48

shows back in the day.

21:50

I do remember that, yes.

21:52

Yeah, you barely let him

21:54

speak, but he was fascinating.

21:56

I more than barely. let

21:59

him speak. But that's neither

22:01

here nor there. Okay, but

22:03

you know, it reminded me

22:05

of this really weird crossball

22:07

where the entire Mama family

22:09

cast appeared on Hill Street

22:11

Blues. Do you remember this?

22:14

Wait, the cast of Mama's

22:16

family, which was a sitcom

22:18

based off of... a skit

22:20

from the Carol Burnett show.

22:22

They were on Hill Street

22:24

Blues, the the gritty cop

22:26

show. Yes. Yeah. So it

22:29

must have been late 80s.

22:31

And if you recall, Mama's

22:33

family was what you said.

22:35

It was a sitcom about

22:37

this family, the harbors. They're

22:39

these hicks from Missouri. And

22:42

they had all these dumb

22:44

misadventures. And so Basically, that

22:46

show was really dropping in

22:48

popularity. And NBC was willing

22:50

to try anything to get

22:52

some traction for it. Okay.

22:54

So they thought it would

22:57

be a good idea to

22:59

have Vicky Lawrence and Harvey

23:01

Corman and the rest of

23:03

the cast appear on a

23:05

show that was doing well

23:07

in hopes that they would

23:09

find a new audience. And

23:12

so that's what they did.

23:14

And the problem was there

23:16

was no humor whatsoever in

23:18

this episode. of Hill Street

23:20

Blues? Yes, yeah. So they

23:22

suddenly, the cast, or what

23:25

happened was the cast of

23:27

Mama's family suddenly having to

23:29

be dramatic? Yeah, yeah. So

23:31

basically this episode of Hill

23:33

Street Blues, the harpers come

23:35

to the big city and

23:37

they're there for a day

23:40

or two having a good

23:42

time and then the first

23:44

night they get robbed at

23:46

gunpoint. All of them, like

23:48

it's super scary. Okay, well

23:50

that's that's a lot more

23:52

intense than you'd expect for

23:55

them. Yeah. Like I said,

23:57

it aired once because Ed,

23:59

the character played by Harvey

24:01

Corman, finds out who robs

24:03

them and goes to the

24:05

robber's apartment to confront him

24:08

and the robber stabs him

24:10

in the face with a

24:12

steak knife. Oh my God,

24:14

that's terrible. And they showed

24:16

all of it. They showed

24:18

all of it. They showed

24:20

all of it. They showed

24:23

all of it. They showed

24:25

all of it. Yeah,

24:27

they brought trend Al

24:30

Strauss in just to

24:32

direct that scene. Oh,

24:34

that's that's shockingly gruesome

24:36

Yeah, yeah, and it

24:38

ends the episode. Oh

24:41

my god. It's so

24:43

sad It ends with

24:45

Elon as mama, you

24:47

know, her support hose,

24:49

you know, was really

24:52

starting to crinkle. Yeah,

24:54

and she's in hysteric

24:56

and she's on the

24:58

floor like in a

25:00

fetal position bawling next

25:02

to Ed's mutilated face

25:05

and she's screaming, Waw!

25:07

And Waw! But so

25:09

sad. That's a lot

25:11

more intense and dramatic

25:13

than I would ever

25:16

think would come from

25:18

anything associated with Mama's

25:20

family. I know, it's

25:22

true. Yeah, and so

25:24

just one for the

25:27

books, I guess. Hey,

25:29

you know, what's interesting

25:31

about Vicky Lawrence? Yeah,

25:33

what's that, Wade? Besides

25:35

her being a brilliant

25:38

comic, she also scored

25:40

a number one hit

25:42

single in 1973. You

25:44

know that? I did

25:46

know that. You know

25:49

what the song was?

25:51

I do. That's the

25:53

night that the lights

25:55

went down in Georgia.

26:00

It kills me to say this,

26:02

but the lights went out in

26:04

Georgia. Otherwise, A-plus. Wait, you're right.

26:07

That's a night that the lights

26:09

went out in Georgia. That's a

26:11

night that they killed an innocent

26:14

man. I think it hung an

26:16

innocent man. That's a night that

26:18

they hung out. What's that? The

26:21

original line, I think, was electrocuted

26:23

in the elected chair, an innocent

26:25

man. But that's not in any

26:27

version I've heard. No,

26:30

I think I think they

26:32

realized it was to had

26:34

too many syllables. Yeah That's

26:37

wild But she did yeah,

26:39

she didn't have a hit

26:42

act about as far as

26:44

I know but she is

26:46

not the only TV actor

26:49

to have a number one

26:51

single Tom Who else? Yes,

26:54

I think you'll know I

26:56

think you'll know one of

26:58

these two Okay, give me

27:01

give me a hint All

27:03

right one was on a

27:05

hour-long, kind of like car-chacy

27:08

dramatic hit show, probably like

27:10

77. Storski and Hutch. Yes.

27:13

And who was it again?

27:15

David Sol? Yes. Good one.

27:17

So you're not stupid? I

27:20

didn't think I was stupid.

27:22

Why are you saying it

27:25

like it's understood and that

27:27

you're trying to convince me

27:29

otherwise? I just assume maybe

27:32

you peek at those message

27:34

boards. I don't know. What

27:36

message boards? I didn't need

27:39

to know about that. Oh

27:41

wait. Nothing, nothing. Okay. No,

27:44

there's not a message board

27:46

called the worst show with

27:48

Tom Sharpling, so don't worry.

27:51

I don't appreciate that. And

27:54

what was the name

27:57

of the David Saul

27:59

song? It was called

28:02

Don't Give Up bonus.

28:04

That's right. Yeah. And

28:06

the other one was

28:09

actually two people, a

28:11

mother and her stepson.

28:14

We're gonna say David

28:16

Cassidy and Shirley Jones,

28:18

the Partridge family. Yeah.

28:21

I think I love

28:23

you. But what am

28:26

I so afraid of?

28:28

Right. Absolutely,

28:30

yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah,

28:33

back in the days

28:35

when, you know, the

28:38

people that his stepmother

28:40

hung out with didn't

28:43

drink any water. No

28:45

one drank water back

28:48

then. Hard alcohol. Just

28:50

hard alcohol then. Like,

28:53

yeah, no one was

28:55

hydrating at all. There

28:58

was no water. It

29:00

really does seem like

29:03

water was not any

29:05

sort of priority back

29:07

then. Well, I feel

29:10

like water was not

29:12

a priority until the

29:15

90s. Where somehow it

29:17

became like we should

29:20

probably be drinking this

29:22

stuff By itself Yeah,

29:25

I'm tired of my

29:27

urine being orange You

29:31

would call the television

29:33

program NYPD Blue? Yes,

29:35

I do. Do you

29:38

remember who starred in

29:40

it? Dennis Franz? Yes,

29:43

exactly. Yeah, kind of

29:45

like a traditional New

29:47

York cop looking guy

29:50

bald, mustache, you know,

29:52

that that kind of

29:54

thing, kind of chunky,

29:57

right? Yeah. Yes. He

30:00

had a number one single

30:02

for three weeks in 1998

30:05

at the height of his

30:07

of the NYPD Blue stuff

30:09

in late 90s with a

30:11

cover of debos with it.

30:13

I did not know that

30:15

and it was number one.

30:18

It only came out in

30:20

Austria, but it was number

30:22

one there. So it

30:24

was the number one hit in

30:26

Austria Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue

30:29

covered Whippet by Devo and Yeah,

30:31

I never heard it, but I

30:34

I can assume it was like

30:36

yeah, when a problem comes along

30:38

you must whip it Yeah, all

30:41

the pieces start to fit wrong

30:43

you got a whippet something like

30:46

that. Yeah, you could picture him

30:48

just being like yeah Whippet Yeah,

30:50

so that's a little interesting one,

30:53

right that's that's one I didn't

30:55

know you got me on that

30:58

one No. You know, I'm a

31:00

songwriter myself. Oh, I didn't know

31:02

that, Wade. Yeah, yeah. I'm, um,

31:05

I'm working on an interesting power

31:07

pop meat sauce pumpkin right now

31:10

in my little studio here. I,

31:12

I don't want to, you know,

31:14

tell you too much of it,

31:17

but, uh, the chorus is, um,

31:19

that's it. Tell us a little

31:22

bit. Pessing the chorus? Oh, yeah.

31:24

So it's kind of like, you

31:26

know, it's kind of like power

31:29

pop, like the knack kind of

31:31

thing, and she was a full-on

31:34

to be a stone cold beauty,

31:36

but I just could not get

31:38

art. Oh, God. I mean, I

31:41

know, I know that's pretty controversial

31:43

lyrically, but the album I'm doing

31:46

is kind of a musical chronicle

31:48

of my relationship struggles. Yeah,

31:51

it sounds like you might

31:53

have some relationship struggles there.

31:55

Yeah, the album is called,

31:57

hey, that's on me. Okay.

32:01

And when, when, when,

32:03

some song titles, do

32:05

you, you'll give a,

32:07

yeah, I got, I

32:09

gotta record a couple

32:11

more songs, but, but

32:13

I got like a

32:15

solid nine already. Okay.

32:17

I'd love to hear

32:19

more about this. That

32:21

look, that last one

32:23

was a little, I

32:26

would have thought Ted

32:28

Nugent co-wrote that one

32:30

with you. Right, right.

32:32

Yeah. But I'd like

32:34

it's a real thing,

32:36

you know, okay. Well,

32:38

I'd like to hear

32:40

more song ideas Okay,

32:42

well, I have a

32:44

song called I thought

32:46

the oil light meant

32:48

the car actually still

32:50

has oil in it

32:52

Okay, but a disastrous

32:54

family trip we took

32:56

to Forest Bridge a

32:58

couple years ago. Oh

33:01

my god where someone

33:03

who thought that the

33:05

oil light meant, hey,

33:07

there's still oil in

33:09

this car. Yeah, was

33:11

it you? Yeah, it

33:13

was me. What else

33:15

is on here? Song

33:17

called, wait, did I

33:19

not pay the electric

33:21

bill? Okay. It's a

33:23

little. Yeah, so I'm

33:25

called Three Kinds of

33:27

Shard. At least three

33:29

kinds of... Is it

33:31

Shard or Shard? I

33:34

still don't know. I've

33:36

heard it both ways.

33:38

There's another song called,

33:40

I thought you picked

33:42

him up from soccer

33:44

practice. Oh, that's really

33:46

depressing. Yeah, well, we

33:48

threw that to this

33:50

one. reading

33:52

in the other room

33:54

on our anniversary. Are

33:56

you so sad? That's

33:58

a sad one. Reading

34:01

in the other room

34:03

on our anniversary. Yeah,

34:05

and there's another one

34:07

called, oh, there's another

34:09

one so sad, it's

34:11

called, wait, that was

34:13

today? Oh God, wait.

34:15

A school play. Yeah,

34:17

and then there's one

34:20

called, that doesn't sound

34:22

like something, I'd say.

34:24

These are very bleak.

34:27

It's a dark album and

34:29

there's one called Just Work

34:32

Friends. Okay. And the big

34:34

power ballot is called Clothes

34:37

on the lawn. As if

34:39

they got thrown out the

34:42

window onto the lawn. Yeah.

34:44

These are very specific songs

34:47

also. Well, I don't know.

34:49

There's songs about a lot

34:51

of people. and relate to

34:54

but you know besides that

34:56

the music is super cool

34:59

okay it's what what is

35:01

it like again power pop

35:04

well there's elements of that

35:06

but I would say ultimately

35:09

it's a cross it's like

35:11

a perfect cross between the

35:14

outfield and guar well I

35:16

can't even imagine what that

35:19

is especially a perfect it's

35:21

a perfect combination like literally

35:24

50 Yeah,

35:26

it's got like the

35:28

chaps and stuff and

35:31

the melodic hooks of

35:34

the outfield and it's

35:36

got like the, you

35:39

know, the kind of

35:41

eccentric, you know, aggression

35:44

of Guar. I'll go

35:47

on regularly as saying,

35:49

Guar were great. They

35:52

didn't need the outfits

35:54

and I refused to

35:57

see them lied because

35:59

I didn't want to

36:02

contain my love of

36:05

the music and it's

36:07

a very unpopular take.

36:10

I would say that's

36:12

beyond an unpopular pick

36:15

that's kind of a

36:18

that's that's that's That's

36:20

an extremely insane take.

36:23

You know, so you

36:25

just think their song,

36:28

their, the craftsmanship of

36:30

the music, you didn't

36:33

want just gimmicks to

36:36

compromise. To yeah. Okay.

36:38

Well, that's, yeah. I

36:41

mean, I, you know.

36:43

Love it or leave

36:46

it, love me or

36:49

leave me, right? Sure,

36:51

I don't know. I

36:54

can only say yes

36:56

to that. I

36:59

saw the wildest band

37:01

the other night at

37:03

Los Angeles. Who was

37:05

that? Well, actually, there

37:07

were two great bands.

37:09

The first band was

37:11

called Reefer Madness. Okay.

37:13

And Tom, I know

37:15

this will sound awful

37:17

when I say it,

37:19

but they were really

37:21

good. And they were

37:23

called, okay. What were

37:25

they called? Reefer Madness?

37:27

Yes. So they only.

37:29

did songs by the

37:31

band Madness, the SCA

37:33

band, but all the

37:36

lyrics were cannabis related.

37:38

So they changed the

37:40

lyrics to songs by

37:42

the pop SCA band

37:44

Madness? Yes. To have

37:46

everything be about weed.

37:48

Yes. Yeah. Like do

37:50

you remember any titles?

37:52

Namely a couple. Namely

37:54

a couple. Namely a

37:56

couple of madness songs.

37:58

Our house. They

38:01

had a phone

38:03

call out pipe.

38:05

Okay. House of

38:08

fun. House of

38:10

weed. One step

38:12

beyond. One step

38:14

beyond my bomb.

38:17

Um, baggy trousers.

38:19

Dime baggy trousers.

38:21

Dime baggy trousers.

38:24

Okay. Wings of

38:26

a dove. A

38:29

weed of a dove? Okay.

38:32

Wow. That song they had

38:34

called It's Only Love? That

38:36

was a pretty big hit.

38:39

It's Only Love? Yeah. It's

38:41

Only Weed? Yeah, that one

38:44

might not be their most

38:46

innovative moment. Yeah. So, and

38:48

Tom, honestly, the concept was

38:51

pretty tiresome after. How long

38:53

did they play? 80?

38:58

Pretty long. Way too much

39:01

for something. But the headliner

39:03

was amazing. Who was the

39:06

headline? Headliner was great. Well,

39:08

they are one of those

39:10

bands that's kind of taken

39:13

over the Twin Cities lately.

39:15

All the songs are related

39:17

to a specific film. I

39:20

think a caller or two

39:22

recently has talked about this

39:25

phenomenon. Big movement in music.

39:27

in the greater Newbridge area.

39:29

Right. Well, I'll, I'm not

39:32

gonna say the band's name,

39:34

but I'll, I'll, uh, because

39:37

it'll, it'll give it away

39:39

instantly. I'll tell you. The

39:41

band was called Me Underwares.

39:44

Me Underwares. Yeah. I don't

39:46

know. I don't know. I

39:49

don't know. What movie they

39:51

could be. Yeah. Yeah. The

39:55

room. The room,

39:58

okay. So

40:00

there's a band based on

40:02

the movie The Room now.

40:04

Yeah, yeah, like Me Underwares.

40:07

Mike says that to Johnny.

40:09

Of course, he's played by

40:11

Tommy was so when he's

40:13

talking about getting his horizontal

40:15

with Michelle and Lisa and

40:17

her mom come in the

40:20

room. Okay. Me Underwares. And

40:22

everybody in the Underwares dresses

40:24

like a character in the

40:26

movie, so the singer had

40:28

this really cool long black

40:31

hair like Johnny. Uh-huh. And

40:33

there was some addresses Lisa

40:35

and Danny and Mark and

40:37

Claude. It was pretty cool.

40:39

It sounds it sounds pretty

40:41

pretty like a real commitment

40:44

to the to the concept.

40:46

Oh yeah. And musically pretty

40:48

cool, really cool, interesting. Okay.

40:50

Like what were some of

40:52

the songs? Well, they sounded

40:55

kind of like Joy Division

40:57

needs. Stammy Air of Van

40:59

Halen. So it's like Van

41:01

Hager Cross with Joy Division.

41:03

Yeah, so like depressing but

41:06

energetically basic. I don't even,

41:08

I can't imagine what that

41:10

would sound like. Well, the

41:12

songs were cool. I can

41:14

probably remember a couple of

41:16

them. Well, if you can

41:19

scrape together a couple of

41:21

them. Well, if you can

41:23

scrape together any. remembrance is

41:25

I'd be very interested. Well,

41:27

let me think. There was

41:30

one of course called You're

41:32

Caring Me Apart, Lisa. Oh,

41:34

hi Mark. So I'm called,

41:36

people are very strange these

41:38

days. There was a really

41:41

good instrumental called The Arrested

41:43

Chris Ar. And there's one

41:45

called, Stop Ganging Up on

41:47

me. Okay. One called Everybody

41:49

Betray Me. One called Leave

41:51

Your Stupid Stupid Stupid There's

41:54

one called the World's Law.

41:56

sexings. There's one called Cheek

41:58

Cheep, Cheep. My favorite customer,

42:00

my favorite song was another

42:02

instrumental. It was called Playing

42:05

Catch from Two Feet Away.

42:07

There's a really good one

42:09

called High Doggy. It's like

42:11

a punk song called Down

42:13

on Guerrero Street. There's one

42:16

called What Kind of Drugs

42:18

and their biggest hit. That

42:20

song I thought was called

42:22

I Did Not Hit Her,

42:24

I Did Not. Okay, wow,

42:26

that's a, you remembered more

42:29

than I thought you would

42:31

remember. Yeah, it's weird, like

42:33

once I think it's something

42:35

more stuff happens. Just comes

42:37

flowing out. Yeah, yeah, like,

42:40

um, uh, who does, who

42:42

is, uh, who's the character

42:44

in Night shift? This is...

42:46

This is so-and-so telling Ted

42:48

to shut up. Is that

42:51

what it was? Is that

42:53

what Hank Winkler says? I

42:55

don't remember any specific lines

42:57

from Nightshift. Billy, Billy Blaze.

42:59

That's the character's name. And

43:01

in it, Billy Blaze is

43:04

talking about, I got all

43:06

these ideas coming and I

43:08

can't stop them. That's kind

43:10

of how it is for

43:12

me. So you're like the

43:15

character in Night Shift. Yeah

43:17

down to the part where

43:19

I write the word prostitution

43:21

on a blackboard and I

43:23

43:25

Yeah, oh no what? What?

44:29

God. Why did they still

44:31

make those for public purchase?

44:33

I don't know why and

44:35

they're not expensive either. Only

44:38

positions and and it's taxidermist

a candy bar. They call

45:02

it end capping. It's like

45:04

end capping sometimes. It is,

45:06

yeah, because they put it

45:08

at the end of the

45:10

row and it's just a

45:13

like it's meant to just

45:15

be something you can grab.

45:17

Well, you have bigger problems

45:19

and. I don't know that

45:21
