The Audience Won't Like It

Steven Seagal's Album DOESN'T Suck? (Plus Reddit & Happy Gilmore 2) | Ep 13

• Rob and Leslie Shoecraft

Share episode

We chase a messy, funny path from eggnog tales and Community parodies to a surprisingly thoughtful breakdown of The Band’s Christmas Must Be Tonight, stitching nostalgia, skepticism, and marriage banter into one warm holiday listen. Curiosity drives the night as we weigh UAP “proof,” honor Jimmy Cliff, and daydream dream covers and movie syncs.

• what this show does and why we make music while we wait in line
• amphibians vs reptiles, anime and Ghibli clarified
• Happy Gilmore 2 takeaways, cameos, and nostalgia curve
• UAP doc fatigue, talking heads, and trust in media
• Jimmy Cliff memories, The Harder They Come, and The Kinks deep cut
• crate digging joy with Dilla, Doom, and sample hunting
• Steven Seagal’s album: serviceable voice, great players, trite lyrics
• critical thinking, screen life, and attention hygiene
• why Christmas Must Be Tonight works: simple chords, rich melody
• dream covers, B-sides, and film moments that fit the song

Check out our YouTube video cover of “Christmas Must Be Tonight.” Christmas must be tonight.

SPEAKER_00:

Hey, you know what? Speaking of catching up, why don't we start with some corrections?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh no. What are we correcting again?

Again. This will be the third week we covered this. Well, you had to ask me what the difference was. Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

What is it? Professor Sheecraft.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, there's a few.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Um one, there's a bit of a metamorphosis that's involved with amphibians, like frogs and salamanders and things.

SPEAKER_04:

They grow legs after they're hatched.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they swim around and uh they they still come out of eggs like reptiles, but they're like soft, you know, squishy eggs.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that's right. They don't have a heart. I just saw my biology teacher today, so I hope she never listens to this and thinks, wow.

SPEAKER_00:

What's the book? It's about a metamorphosis. It's by a I want to say an Eastern European or Russian guy.

SPEAKER_01:

Do you think it's a bigger one?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, you might have read it in high school. It's called the Metamorph. It doesn't ring a bell. Hey, guess what? It'll be in the corrections next week. So stick to stick tuned.

SPEAKER_04:

Anyway, stick tunes.

SPEAKER_00:

Stick tuned. Also, they uh breathe through their skin, amphibians do. Um the reptiles lay eggs on the land and what do they breathe through? Uh mouths.

SPEAKER_04:

They're mouth breathers. Yeah. Do they have noses?

SPEAKER_00:

Did you know you can theoretically breathe through your butt? More on that later.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, great.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh any uh animation, any cartoon made in Japan is definitely considered anime.

SPEAKER_01:

SPEAKER_04:

Around here, if you want to uh watch something you're not allowed, just get the flu. We need everything world as your oyster. Yeah, if you're sick, you can do whatever you want.

SPEAKER_00:

No, I think I I think the kids watched Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison with me when they were like three years old.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

So this was nothing new. But I watched Happy Gilmore too.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

You're dead like I almost said Veronica Vaughn, but it's Virginia Vennett.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, with a ball. And Eric golf ball flies out. Kind of like have you seen Simon Birch? He kills a like the woman like the like the his best friend's mom, who's like a mother to him and he loves, kills her with a foul ball. Sorry I spoiled that for you. That movie sucked. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_04:

Sounds awful. I don't want to watch it. Thanks for letting me know ahead of time.

SPEAKER_00:

Did it suck? I haven't seen it since high school. I don't think I was mature enough to watch that movie. Okay. Um, anyways.

SPEAKER_04:

Are you now? Implication.

SPEAKER_00:

So yeah, I uh I have you seen the first one, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I it started off I'd say the first 20 minutes of it, I was cracking up. Like it was killing me. And I was thinking, like, this is this is what Maverick did to Top Gun. Like, this is really done right.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, and then it took a nosedive.

SPEAKER_00:

I wouldn't say it took a nosedive, it just got a little dull. Um no, dull's not the word. It did, it was just wasn't as funny. So here's the thing to their credit, they took a lot of swings, they just kept bringing in jokes, tons of fan service stuff. There was so much stuff, the basically any reference that you could possibly make from the first uh from the first movie they made. So like there's like a graveyard scene where like Shooter and uh and Happy are fighting, like beating the crap out of each other. And in that graveyard, they bump they bump into Bob Barker's cemetery or tombstone.

SPEAKER_04:

This is in the second one you're talking about.

SPEAKER_00:

Virginia Vennett. Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, in the second one. Um, the Mista Misa lady, which I was very happy to see. She is like a ghost.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, hometown. Um anyways, like every so the kid, like he has a bunch of uh kids, these four sons, and they all just fight and beat up everyone, including each other. But like they show them all at their jobs, and they're all like like you know, have a big phallic representation with cones. Are you familiar with the first one enough to know you don't really get what I'm basically? They make a million references to the first one. There's tons of cameos with all sorts of golfers, and John Lovitz is in it. Oh my god, Kevin Nealin's in it. Uh they CGI uh Carl Weather's in it, even Abraham Lincoln comes back, even grandma, an alligator. A bunch of alligators eat the jackass guy's kid. They run into his tombstone too.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

It's just like reference upon reference upon reference upon the game.

SPEAKER_04:

Is there a storyline?

SPEAKER_00:

There is a storyline. I wrote it's a little bit of Rookie of the Year. Right? I guess I'm ruining everything. So Rookie of the Year, you know he's got the shoulder injury that makes him throw fastballs.

SPEAKER_03:

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_00:

These, these, this golf league, it's like this extreme golf league that they're trying to start and recruit Happy Gomorrow.

SPEAKER_04:

We're doing a podcast about Happy Gilmar 2 today.

unknown:

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but but we're like 10 minutes in.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, all right, all right, all right. All right. Uh it's a little bit Rocky III, it's a little bit heist movie dodgeball, a little bit even Soldier. There's a lot of good Steve Bushemi cameos. He peas on mailboxes twice.

SPEAKER_03:

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, he's great. What did he say? There's a lot of great stuff in Helly Joe Haley Joe uh ointment. They wrote ointment. Um plays a villain.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

He might have seen the Mista Misa lady. He might have seen Kitty Wills. No. They didn't say. What?

SPEAKER_04:

Kitty Wills in the middle. They didn't cover it.

SPEAKER_00:

No, they didn't cover it. Um Chris McDonald is you know, shooter McGavin. John Daly is in it. Chris McDonald's a great actor, by the way. I don't know why he's not in more stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

What's he? Who's he?

SPEAKER_00:

Shooter McGavin.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh. He plays a real piece of trash though, right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, he's like one of my favorite villains of all time. He's super good. He's a great actor.

SPEAKER_04:

But he has some weird slime about him.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. He's in he's in the second one and he ends up teaming up with Happy Gil One.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, wow.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I said I was spoiling this movie, right?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh you said it and then you like tripped over your words to get the spoiler out. So it wasn't enough time for whoever was.

SPEAKER_00:

Anyways, I really liked it. I actually really liked it. Should we put a spoiler alert on the I did love it, but it was way better than it than I thought it would be.

SPEAKER_04:

Cool.

SPEAKER_00:

I if you liked Happy Gilmore, watch the movie. Okay. How's that? Cool. Cool. What'd you uh what'd you do?

SPEAKER_04:

I haven't done much because we were uh gone. We we did the recording a week ago and somehow I found a way to watch. No, and then we watched and we left and went out into town to hang out with your fam for Thanksgiving. But I am I am more than two-thirds of the way through the age of disclosure, which is the Joe Rogan or not Joe Rogan, he was on Joe Rogan, which is how I heard of it. It's a documentary about the government covering up aerial phenomenon, unknown UAPs, as they say.

SPEAKER_00:

What's that saying for?

SPEAKER_04:

Unknown aerial phenomenon. Okay. Uh and it's I'm not done with it yet, but I don't know if I'm gonna finish it. So if that's a commentary on how interesting I'm finding it. The unfortunate thing about it is that he has a lot of h really high-ranking, reputable people on camera saying like sharing their first hand direct in interaction with aliens, unknown cre uh unknown vessels and all the crazy things they've seen, and like talking about how like we have nothing that even remotely comes close to what that stuff can do. Um and is that still going on? Uh we're recording, we're just recording newbies. Anyway. But it's just talking head. There's no images, there's no I don't know. It's just it's just talking head after talking head.

SPEAKER_00:

Were you hoping to have more like maybe new photographic evidence of some kind? Or did you just want to see something that's gonna be a little more engaging while you're watching it?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. And even when I I I I don't mind just something like you've talked about, like if it's if they're just talking while you're doing a task, I don't mind that. But because I was decorating the Christmas tree while I was watching it, but I didn't it just it didn't hold my attention. A lot of it I've already heard. Like if you listen to the Joe Rogan where he interviews the documentarian, you've heard everything, the highlights from it.

SPEAKER_00:

So there you go, folks.

SPEAKER_04:

Save yourself some time and well, they're actually the Joe Rogan's longer than the documentary, so you pick.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, just listen to us.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, well, listen to this twice. But the the one aspect of it that I'd never thought of, which I shared with you, off pod. Which we hardly are allowed to talk to each other off pod anymore. Because we'd be like in the middle of a con conversation of like, save it over the podcast.

SPEAKER_00:

Keep it novel.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, keep it novel. So but anyway, it's the fact that the government's been a hiding all of this stuff from the public, and b using taxpayer dollars that are not accounted for and the repercussions of whistleblowing on the secret government cover-ups. So that's kind of interesting, I guess. So it's okay. I mean the the documentarian, I'm sorry I don't know his name. I'm sure it's something really cool like Steve.

SPEAKER_00:

Steve Alien Steve Alien.

SPEAKER_04:

Steve Alien.

SPEAKER_00:

Steve Alien saucer heads brain.

unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Arm tree.

SPEAKER_00:

Something super cool like that.

SPEAKER_04:

It is. Anyway, he seems really excited about his work, but I just don't think I'm as excited about it as I wish I would have been.

SPEAKER_00:

I just I wish I could love those more. I just can't. I've just immediately s immediately don't trust anybody talking saying anything, including the people they're saying not to trust.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't even feel that like that. I feel like these guys are telling that telling you what they know. And it seems really uh transparent and legit. But it's just a person's account or something, and without, you know, a video or and by the way, can you even trust videos and photos anymore? Right. Thanks to AI.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, thanks a lot, pal.

SPEAKER_04:

Photoshop, Chad. Photoshop. Thanks to AI and Photoshop.

SPEAKER_00:

Freaking Photoshop.

SPEAKER_04:

So anyway, I worked my way through some of that. And I'll let you know if I decide to finish it or not.

SPEAKER_00:

Photoshop's been around for a minute.

SPEAKER_04:

Now your turn.

SPEAKER_00:

Well now you go. Do you know the Jimmy Cliff, uh Jimmy Cliff passed away last week?

SPEAKER_04:

You told me he did.

SPEAKER_00:

On the 24th, I believe.

SPEAKER_04:

And I said save it for the pod.

SPEAKER_00:

Did you say that?

SPEAKER_04:

No, I think we had some he's the um what's that rain song that he does?

SPEAKER_00:

The rain song?

SPEAKER_04:

Or what is it?

SPEAKER_00:

I can see clearly. I can see clearly now. The rain is gone. Yeah, yeah, okay. That was one of the first songs.

SPEAKER_04:

That's one of the first songs that we learn in music therapy class in college on the guitar. Oh. And it has a a flat seven.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh. So interesting. Where's the flat seven, do you recall?

SPEAKER_04:

It's gonna be a bra, bra, sunshiny day. It's in that part.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, he's uh did did did I ever make you watch Did I ever make you watch The Harder They Come?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh what's it about?

SPEAKER_00:

It is a boo. Okay. It's a 1972 movie.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, I saw it. I loved it.

SPEAKER_00:

Jimmy Cliff. Jimmy Cliff is a wait, I think, yeah, I think it's him. It's Jamaican records, who shoots, who kills corrupt police officers. He's kind of like a it's kind of like a Robin Hood story.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, I've never seen it.

SPEAKER_00:

Where he's like getting bigger and bigger. Robin Hood's probably not the best. He's like an anti-hero.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Where he maybe close to closer to Dolomite. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, but not as I didn't know Dolomite had any redeeming qualities.

SPEAKER_00:

Anyways, I'd have to re-watch it. I haven't seen it. I used to own it on DVD. Dolomite? Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Like what? Like what's a real one?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, first of all, he's a great hang.

SPEAKER_04:

Um Do you think any of these microphones were featured in the movie?

SPEAKER_00:

I mean, the warden, the warden came up to him because he trusted him. He the warden trusted him to take down Willie Green. He brought he brought B, Queen B in with him. She said, Oh, oh, Dolomite, I'm so happy. You're coming home tomorrow. I'm gonna tell everyone. You're coming home tomorrow. She's like, cry. Okay, we gotta do a Dolomite one. We also need to do something we have to watch. A Harder They Come one, okay. Which is, I would say, a better movie. Like it's actually kind of It's got a great soundtrack. That's what I was building up to.

SPEAKER_04:

All right.

SPEAKER_00:

It's got many rivers across on it. I'd love to do that song sometime.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

All right.

SPEAKER_00:

Um rest in peace, Jimmy Cliff. You can come to our concert anytime you want.

SPEAKER_04:

It's gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day when you get there, buddy.

SPEAKER_00:

What else?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. Can you remember anything else I did?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

What?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, you listened to the Kinks Something Else album, 1967.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, was that what we listened to on the way up to Cleve?

SPEAKER_00:

Mm-hmm. It's a great album.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a great album. I did like it. I said it was the one that I said sounds like it could be from any era, right?

SPEAKER_00:

They have a bit of a timeless feel to them. At least some of the some of the songs do. Some of them sound pretty pretty smack dab in the late 60s, especially with like um I write it down. Lazy Old Sun. It has like a bit of like a Sergeant Pepper kind of sound to it. You had uh I really like the song Oh Love Me Till the Sun Shines. I like that one a lot. I always try to listen to albums for like the song I will end up liking the whole thing after a few times, but there's always a song that like stands out. I really loved that tune. Um I wanted I'd I would love to think they refer to those as like I'd love to hear Hendrix Hendrix cover it at our wedding. At our concert, at our wedding. We'll we'll have a we'll we'll renew our vows anyway. Um I like well the reason I wanted to listen to that album, because I I never have, and it's it's kind of it was like kind of a commercial failure, I think, but it was a critical critically eclect. Yeah, there was like this big sleeper hand there was a big um what do they call it? Like a touring ban where like the kinks were not allowed to tour America for a certain amount of years. I think between like 65 and Why? Because they were ridiculously um they were troublemakers.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, at their shows.

SPEAKER_00:

Ray and uh the Davies brothers would just fight each other on stage. Like they punched out one of like the stage hands.

SPEAKER_04:

So the so the Gallagher brothers from Oasis.

SPEAKER_00:

AFM, the uh maker's funniest music. Bob Sagitt plays with Kazoo on Rollers.

SPEAKER_04:

He can come to our concert too. He can do some dirty stand-up.

SPEAKER_00:

Absolutely. He could raise his hand and say, marijuana's not a drug. Never mind. Watch Half Baked if you want to get that reference.

SPEAKER_04:

Um If you don't want to get it, don't watch it.

SPEAKER_00:

Don't watch it, yeah. Don't watch it. I don't care. Um I do care actually. You should watch Half Bakon. It's a great film. Have you seen that?

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, I watched it with you. I know you have.

SPEAKER_00:

I just want to get you bad.

SPEAKER_04:

We saw Rob's brother. We saw Rob's brother of the weekend, and he went on and on about how funny Rob was and how it was so great to be able to listen to his brother like on Spotify. And then he's like, and you just go, mm-hmm. Okay. And it's true. He's right. He said other nice things about me too, but that one stood out because I feel like all of you. You're absolutely necessary. I never have.

SPEAKER_00:

You're absolutely necessary. Otherwise, I would be talking for 40 minutes about the uh etymology of Harry Rag.

SPEAKER_04:

We all have our roles.

SPEAKER_00:

There's another song on there. It means cigarette. And it comes from another word that I'm not allowed to say.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, don't say it.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. Um, anyways, I really like that album. I can't wait to listen to it some more. Waterloo Sunset is one of my favorite songs by the Kings.

SPEAKER_04:

Who were we listening to that was doing a great job? Oh, it was the Tutosha Matunaki. What's his name? What's his name?

SPEAKER_00:

I'm sure they're I'm sure that's offensive to somebody.

SPEAKER_04:

What's his real name? I'm very close. There's also a there's also a dressmaker. I think it was a Star Wars character.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm not even gonna say it, but it sounds very Yeah, no, give it a shot.

SPEAKER_04:

This person makes beautiful dresses. You just got points in Joe's book, though.

SPEAKER_00:

Joe Joe just gave you a big thumb.

SPEAKER_04:

Thank you, Joe. Three weeks from now. Anyway.

SPEAKER_00:

I started listening to uh the How's Moving Castle audiobook.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, what party at?

SPEAKER_00:

She just got the castle to stop. So she can't she like helped a dog. She found a stick and got the castle to stop.

SPEAKER_04:

Scarecrow involvement, yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

Scarecrow, I don't think, has been involved yet. Okay. No, she did see a scarecrow. I don't think she she just talked to it, but it hasn't done anything.

SPEAKER_04:

That's important.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, it's you know, I'll probably have it done by the end of next week.

SPEAKER_04:

So how do you feel about it so far compared to the movie?

SPEAKER_00:

Um so far it's not that different. It's kind of different. It's different in a few ways, like where the like I I didn't know if that woman in it in the beginning was her mom or her sisters or what, where now it's like kind of fleshes out her family and how the story of how she got the hat store and and her interactions with patrons and how the which of the waist came in and all that. But it's not that far removed, but I I I could definitely see it. I mean, it's just started. I think I'm like 10% through.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm so happy and and I feel so warm that you're listening to it.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm glad it warmed you up.

SPEAKER_04:

Now, if you don't like it, lie.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm gonna tell you. We can have a lot of people. You broke my heart with beats or wings with wings.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that's true.

SPEAKER_00:

Inner light? I got a feeling you know you would love that very much.

SPEAKER_04:

I got a feeling it's not my favorite one, but I it's not my favorite, but I like it a lot. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_00:

We listened to it just a little bit of uh People Under the Stairs, OST.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh yeah. Right right before we got out of the car, though.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I love that album. I think those dudes are super underrated. And they don't have anything to do with that wonderful movie we watched. Wes Craven, I believe, did that one.

SPEAKER_04:

That was not even a very good movie.

SPEAKER_00:

It wasn't great. Not even uh Ving Rames, I think, was in it. Oh yeah, I don't remember that at all. Uh you're making me nervous with your watch.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm getting a lot of messages. Oh man. You don't have to look at me. Here, I'm gonna put I'm gonna put mine in Do Not Disturbed because I care about Well, I'm not going to because it's slippery out there, and I don't want our daughter to get into her car.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, if she goes through, you guys go through, my boss goes through and my car. Don't look at my watch.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm sorry, I won't look at it anymore.

SPEAKER_00:

And your mom goes through. You're welcome, Judy. You barely made it.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, that's not true. She paid you.

SPEAKER_00:

Just kidding. Anyways, I love the dig. The dig's my favorite song off that album. I won't talk about it much more, but the dig, I feel like, speaks to me. You know what the dig's about, honey? Do you ever hear the expression digging in the crates?

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

Or the group with Big L?

SPEAKER_01:

Nope.

SPEAKER_00:

And Fat Joe?

SPEAKER_01:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, digging in the crates is when you're kind of looking I I think this is what it means anyway. When you're looking through uh trying to find like samples or trying to find great new music.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, you mean like creative music recording? Creative music, yeah, yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

So like I I've just always been You're really into that. Completely, yeah. I love doing it. I love just finding new music. It's one of the reasons I want to make do this podcast. But another thing is that it's when you listen to a sample of someone I d ironically, I don't know what the sample for that song was, but listening to like Jay Dilla on like Let's Ride, do you know that song by Q-tip?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I bet you do if we played it. It's uh but it's got a like an obscure like Joe Pass lick from his cover of Coltrane's giant steps, and you're just like, How did he find this?

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah. How did he find it?

SPEAKER_00:

Like, how did he listen? Like I realize Joe Pass isn't super obscure, but that is just or like MF Doom did like this in this in on um Rap Snitch Canishes uh did this It's like a tiny little lick from a Dave Matthews band live guitar solo. Just an obscure I don't know. I love I just love that.

SPEAKER_04:

So I can see the appeal.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Anyways, we'll maybe we'll do a uh digging in the crates episode. Maybe the the group and Big L can come to our find some crates in the movie. So it can double K.

SPEAKER_04:

Can we actually dig in the crates?

SPEAKER_00:

Ooh, that'd be an interesting. Go to like a thrift store or something.

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm. Nothing around here has crates of music though.

unknown:

Hmm.

SPEAKER_04:

We'll have to hook up with our old buddy across the river.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Um I another thing we watched was a community episode.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh.

SPEAKER_00:

I looked it up. Basic rocket science.

SPEAKER_04:

Which one was that?

SPEAKER_00:

With the um simulation.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, the simulation.

SPEAKER_00:

I I loved that. I wanted to I wrote it down because I thought it was a particularly awesome episode.

SPEAKER_04:

No, I know Abed had couldn't like he served a purpose, but man, I was super bummed that he wasn't on the shuttle with them.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I think they cared more about parodying Apollo 13 than they did making sure Abed was funny on the ship.

SPEAKER_04:

I understand, and it was a great episode. That that show is just really giving me a nice warm hug. It's a little tighter every night.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I noticed that Dan so Dan Harmon wrote it, and he wrote Rick and Morty.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

And I'm noticing that there's a lot of ties to you know, Rick and Morty basically just has a different trope or parody for each episode. They just do it really, really, really, really well. And I feel like community. I almost wonder if Dan Harman's like cutting was cutting his teeth on community before he wrote Rick and Morty. I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

He sent to trauma.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm sure that's been written about like crazy, but uh Dan Harmon, no, just Justin Royland.

SPEAKER_04:

Is that who he was with?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I don't think Dan Harman got in any trouble.

SPEAKER_04:

It's too many people getting into trouble. I don't know how if I can make it through this whole episode with this stool.

SPEAKER_00:

And there's another thing that I wanted to mention that I we're gonna we're about to go pretty deep.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

You ready?

SPEAKER_03:

I'm ready.

SPEAKER_00:

We're about to go deep into a crystal cave.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

To find some songs from a crystal cave.

SPEAKER_04:

Take me there.

unknown:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

We're gonna follow somebody there. Okay. You know who it is?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

Dead air. Steven Segal.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, the how could you I was gonna say sting. If only.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, we can follow Sting in there. Um I'll follow Steven Segal too, though. Steven Segal. I listened to the entire album.

SPEAKER_04:

You did? Yeah. It's like a it's like What's the name of the one that I watched on the hour long.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh Girl, it's all right.

SPEAKER_04:

So objectively speaking, he does have a good singing voice. Right?

SPEAKER_00:

Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

So and and I mean the songs are a little cheesy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

However, if you didn't have that creepy music video.

SPEAKER_00:

Like where he's like kind of like rubbing down the chick at the end.

SPEAKER_04:

Also, the who is so much like twenty-five years younger than the other. Well, I believe at least. And another culture. Everyone in the video is of another culture except him.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

All the ladies anyway.

SPEAKER_00:

Well right? Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Are they Japanese? Chinese.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know where they were from. Korean. I don't know. I feel like he mixes all sorts of I'm sure they had probably an advisor on the stage, and he's just like, nope, we're doing this, and we're doing that.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, you mean Steven Segal was mixing the advisor?

SPEAKER_00:

Well, if you listen to yeah, yeah. Not that the advisor was advising like The Rewatchables has a uh a segment, they give a category to you familiar with the the the premise of that podcast.

SPEAKER_01:

Uh yes.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, they have a category called like the Stephen Segal. Did this scene need a better intimacy coordinator? Right. Because like there's just scenes from some of his movies. Or he's just gross.

SPEAKER_04:

So he's just dirty. What's the opposite? Subjectively speaking, it's disgusting. So sorry, Stephen. Is he dead?

SPEAKER_00:

No.

SPEAKER_04:

How old is he? 85?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know how old he is.

SPEAKER_04:

He's 80?

SPEAKER_00:

His skin is beautiful.

SPEAKER_04:

Has it been surgically alternative?

SPEAKER_00:

It's nice and stretched and swallowed the way I like it. The way I like my blues mend. So I gotta say, Stephen Zegall, and I could take a little shot at it at you there. He is way better than I thought he would be.

unknown:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

I listened to that entire album. That song. Okay, listen, I don't love the song, but it's not bad. Right. Like if if if Wilson Pickett sang that song with that group, you know, it'd be it'd be pretty freaking good. Like Dwayne Allman, like have you ever heard them do uh off topic, but Hey Jude?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know if I have.

SPEAKER_00:

They did a cover of that. It's sick. I don't even like the song Hey Jude, but I love that version. Anyways, back on Seagull.

SPEAKER_04:

Why don't you like that song?

SPEAKER_00:

That song doesn't I hate the end. I hate it.

SPEAKER_04:

You don't like that?

SPEAKER_00:

No, it's just no, I don't.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't hate it. I d I don't hate that song.

SPEAKER_04:

There's only one beetle I've got to do it.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't like it very much at all. But I I love their version of it. It's fine. Whatever. Good uh.

SPEAKER_04:

Back to Steven Segal.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, no, there's two Beatles left. Ringo and Paul.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But people care about Ringo.

SPEAKER_00:

I care about Ringo.

SPEAKER_04:

Ringo wasn't gonna say Paul.

SPEAKER_00:

You weren't saying Paul.

SPEAKER_04:

I didn't say a name. You weren't gonna say Paul. Now we know how you feel about Ringo apart.

SPEAKER_00:

Poor Ringo.

SPEAKER_04:

It wasn't gonna tear him in any directions.

SPEAKER_00:

I watched a lot of Stephen Segall videos this week.

SPEAKER_04:

That's that's what you need to take away from this.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes. I watched a blues guitar player name, I think I wrote it down, wrote down his channel. Um In the Blues is the name of the channel. He did a Steven Zegall breakdown of some of his live concert.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh my gosh, he did a live concert. Oh yeah. Was it well attended?

SPEAKER_00:

I have no idea. It didn't show.

SPEAKER_04:

They sell out?

SPEAKER_00:

He's not bad, he's not a bad guitar player.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, Steven Zegall?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I thought he was kind of faking it, but he kind of plays like. He plays with his thumb and just his thumb. He kind of plays like that. And this dude was analyzing what he was doing. He's like, that was actually kind of a he played a major, he played a major scale when everybody else was playing something. He's like, that honestly is not an easy like is tell me about basically I don't know exactly what he said, but because it looks like he's fake playing in video. So I had to look up to see if he was legit. Yeah, he probably was. I mean, it's a video, but like he could have just had a session player playing it. And I thought that maybe he just took credit for it.

SPEAKER_04:

Is he a bad person?

SPEAKER_00:

I think it's probably as close to objectively uh he's delu he's incredibly delusional and egotistical, and I would say chances are incredibly high he's a bad person.

SPEAKER_04:

So what do you mean? How do you know he's delusional?

SPEAKER_00:

There's we could go super deep on Seagull right now. I don't know how much. And I don't want to make it.

SPEAKER_04:

This will do save it for off the pod.

SPEAKER_00:

I do love I do love some Seagull movies.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh Under Siege, we should watch that sometime. It's actually have you seen Under Siege? I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't think so. I don't think I've seen it.

SPEAKER_00:

Tell me if he's a bad person when you see him uh make out with Eric Alaniac, who's probably like 20 years younger than him. I don't watch it.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm mixing up scenes. I haven't seen it in a while myself. But uh I I got a like a weird love-hate relationship with Sagal. But I got I want there are a couple so Lady, what's her name? Lady Saw. Do you do you know who that is? Uh-huh. You know the song Underneath It All by No Doubt?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, is that the remakeup? Oh. Is she the rapper the featured rapist?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know, actually. She's on like Jamaican dancehall queen from like, but he's got all sorts the world music on that album inside or songs, songs from the Crystal Cave is crazy. He's got like songs from like Southeastern uh Asia, Southeast Asia. He's got songs from like tons of Jamaican stuff, he's got tons of blue stuff.

SPEAKER_04:

He's how how did you discover this album?

SPEAKER_00:

Or that Stephen Segal made me. I saw a I saw somebody put a like a Reddit post, which was this could be a second. Timely uh for um it's like Segal with his guitar, and it's he's just got like the this just super sacker and sexy look. So I was like, what is this? So 2005, he put out an album. Oh, freaking Stevie Wander's on it.

SPEAKER_04:

What?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, he plays a money man. There's this song called There's a song called uh I think it's called like My God, yeah, My God is better than your God. And there's like this warring like harmonica guitar. He's like going back and forth on the guitar, Stevie Wonders on Harmonica. And and I think it was like a s satirical song about he's got like all these deep songs about war and these song. I mean it's it's it's crazy. It's it but they out it's not it's not awful though. And I think a lot of it is because he's just surrounds himself with legitimately great musicians. Um but he like you said he's got a serviceable boy voice. Yeah, his lyrics are the triteest thing you've ever heard in your life. I mean, but but it's it there were a couple songs I was like, this is not a bad song. Like this is actually pretty good. Turn it off, turn it off. And this guitar playing is not bad. It's arguably better than me.

SPEAKER_04:

Turn it off. It's never, don't you ever say that.

SPEAKER_00:

Anyways, I uh I'm gonna I've said this last week. I would say this is the reason I do this podcast.

SPEAKER_04:

So you can do discover gems like this. Everybody do your check. Sorry. Uh I feel like everything's too close or far too far. That's better. Okay. Sorry about that, everyone.

SPEAKER_00:

So yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, okay. Well, real quick before we transition, I do have a consumption question.

SPEAKER_00:

I'd love to hear it.

SPEAKER_04:

So since this this app's gonna drop mid-holiday season. We consumed a lot of food.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04:

What's like uh what is like a a uh savory food and a sweet food that you have to have in order to feel like Thanksgiving and Christmas were complete.

SPEAKER_00:

Whoa, you're really putting me on the spot with that.

SPEAKER_04:

I know.

SPEAKER_00:

Savory food. Savory food and a sweet food.

SPEAKER_04:

Like a dessert or a side dish that you there was a time where I would say eggnog.

SPEAKER_00:

I I do plan on drinking some at least one at least one night, one weekend we'll call.

SPEAKER_04:

Maybe we should grab some.

SPEAKER_00:

Maybe we should just drink it on the show all the time. Have you ever seen the baby bird?

SPEAKER_04:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

Or uh the Opie and Anthony show, I think it was, where a guy drinks 63 shots of eggnog and then pukes it on the intern's head. Like almost like they're at a he's got his hair back on.

SPEAKER_04:

This is on the Andy Griffiths show? Did you say Andy and Opie?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they're so good.

SPEAKER_04:

Is I'm not sure I don't get to have it every year, but I really, really dig a a stuffing made with bread, not from a package mix. Where someone has cut the bread up themselves and it's more of a dry, drier, like sausagey type stuff.

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_04:

So, um, let's transition to.

SPEAKER_00:

Those for those who know. For two, so speaking of uh Reddit.

SPEAKER_04:

And Steven Segal.

SPEAKER_00:

And Steven Segal. So we we didn't have a whole lot of time to plan this.

SPEAKER_04:

You don't have to tell.

SPEAKER_00:

I know you're I knew you were gonna say that. I knew you were gonna say that. No, but seriously, we didn't I we were driving back, and we're like, what we're gonna talk about on the podcast. We're driving back from Cleveland. And uh I I thought I said, I got a ton of I have probably, I don't know, a hundred saved Reddit posts that I've I always save Reddit posts, and then I never never in my life have I ever gone back to look at one. I don't know if there are other people do today's the day. So I I've spent a ton of time on Reddit.

SPEAKER_04:

I save a lot of Instagram posts, and I do look at a lot of them because they have recipes or workouts or book titles.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I you know, I've been not necessarily Reddit for using Reddit forever, but just forums in general.

SPEAKER_04:

You're an original forum lover.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, but me and you know 50 million other people.

SPEAKER_04:

Not me. I mean I've never been in a forum.

SPEAKER_00:

Forums, I think, are like the last bastion of truth on the internet. At least as far as not necessarily truth. There's plenty of it's that's a terrible thing to say. Hang on.

SPEAKER_04:

Opinion. Not truth.

SPEAKER_00:

We'll sc we'll call it authenticity. Sure. Um and and I love the self-governing, and it's a it's a hostile place. Like Reddit. Of course, some subreddits are better than others, but um but forums in general. So even before Reddit, I was always on like I learned how to lift weights on bodybuilding.com. I learned about guns and gun safes and all that stuff from AR-15. I learned about I mean, I still go on gamefacts.com sometimes. Just whatever whenever I if I ever the last time I played a video game like two years ago.

SPEAKER_04:

Other than other than teenage reading shows not amphibians, well NBA 2K 20, whatever.

SPEAKER_00:

26. Yeah, but I Clark, I just let him I'm just a freaking ragdoll. Yeah. I don't let him let him.

SPEAKER_04:

Or why is he so much better? He's better than me. Because he plays it all the time.

SPEAKER_00:

He's played that game hundreds and hundreds of hours more than I have. He times every shot perfectly. If I don't stuff him, if he gets Luca, Jokic, uh Durant, um, freaking Jordan Brunson. I'm just basically I can name a bunch of people who he will just absolutely destroy me with. He doesn't miss. He had this thing called this thing called like it's like a power-up called like uh long bomb or but basically he was just pulling up and shooting 40 foot threes with and just draining. There's nothing I can do about it. He's very good at it. I'm not I'm not bad. I can beat him every now and then, but anyways.

SPEAKER_04:

Anyway, let's get it. Anyways. So Reddit.

SPEAKER_00:

So I'm gonna get I'm gonna pull this up. Should we set a timer?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, probably. I can set one.

SPEAKER_00:

We wanna do like 20 minutes?

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. So let's. This may be the last time we do this, but we're certainly not gonna get through the list, I'll tell you that much. Um it is in order of recently saved. I think recent? Recently saved.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I won't I won't read it out loud if you do. Okay. Uh here's a good one. This is very on brand for you. One of the worst punishments in human history. The victim will be trapped between two hollowed-out logs. Oh yeah. Their arms and legs exposed. And then they were force-fed large milk and honey.

SPEAKER_00:

I I I actually hate it. It it angers me. What I what it is is that it exists, it has been in existence, and I find I find it fascinating. Like it's already it has already happened, so uh we may as well look at it.

SPEAKER_04:

So what would make you save that?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, I just thought it was an interesting conversation, if I remember correctly. Because it's it it it turns like a lot of a lot of people through histor historians or and archaeologists are I mean kind of all one of the same, whatever, but who there's been mounting evidence that that that was not actually practiced. But they did like they did, I think, like skin people alive. Like that was a big thing. There's a lot of pictures of like button. It's the second time I talk about skinning people alive in three days.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, when was the other time?

SPEAKER_00:

Jamie was telling me that she thinks that there is a cap for pain. Like you can get reached a certain point where your body and I thought it was an interesting conversation. I so I was talking about people being skinned alive. I'm just like, at what point do you think that was just like it's not doesn't hurt any more than it did five seconds ago.

SPEAKER_04:

I'll interject with having a baby. It hurts. Now I did have drugs, but you weren't being skinned alive. I wasn't being skinned alive at the time. Yeah, in and skinned inside out alive. Um it hurts. And I would say you de that's mine. That's mine. Oh that's my water. Let's get your dirty hands from the water.

SPEAKER_03:

You go to the hell where people are skinned alive. It's that simple.

SPEAKER_04:

Um But it's not it is not the pain. It is the it's not the pain itself, it is the ongoing pain. It's like the contractions and pushing hurt. And you get a break, and then it comes back and it doesn't hurt any worse, but you're just so fatigued by it. Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_00:

And you had a 30-hour labor with Kirk?

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, you people who use Windows computers, you can hit everybody write this down. You can hit the Windows key and V at the same time, and do you know what it does?

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, that's right, yeah. And it'll save a history of it. I thought that one was cool. That is pretty cool. And of course did not do it.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

It's probably me.

SPEAKER_04:

Welcome to Rob's Reddit Thread.

SPEAKER_04:

Sorry, everybody.

SPEAKER_00:

You gotta cut that? Uh maybe. I don't know. Is it on is it on Reddit that the little tip?

SPEAKER_04:

Here's a good one. Minding your own business really does reduce stress.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. I saved that.

SPEAKER_04:

That was under I can't believe other people. Okay. Uh what's the smallest hill you're willing to die on?

SPEAKER_00:

Is this what's the context?

SPEAKER_04:

It's just that's what it says.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04:

Um why would you save that, first of all?

SPEAKER_00:

I I must have thought something about it was interesting.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh okay. Adobe is not a piece of software. It's a whole suite. Yeah. Is that what got you in? Tell us about that. Tell us why that would be a hill someone would be willing to buy on.

SPEAKER_00:

There's just they're just the the way people talk about um companies that have uh offerings of let's say, I don't know how many there's at least a dozen Adobe products, if not more. If you click count on the little sub-stuff and plugins and whatnot that they upsell you on. Um but somebody might say, you know, we uh oh, edit you edit your you need to edit your your podcast in Adobe, you know. Or somebody'd be like, what's Photoshop? You know, basically people confusing here's an example. Like Go Guardian's a product that we use at the school. Uh-huh. And we they're they have like five different products products. But somebody will complain about Go Guardian, or I'll say or not complain about it necessarily, but they'll I'll I'll say, hey, you know, we bit maybe able to pull that up in Go Guardian, and they'll be like, that won't do anything. I'll be like, no, not I mean the web admin console, the one that filters the content, the reason we bought it in the first place, like the mother product, not teacher, the one that everyone else use uses the or and they'll be like, oh no, I mean beacon, the one that's the one that looks and sees if kids are gonna you know call self-harm. So people use the but they just latch on to the this guy says I'd like this on a t-shirt.

SPEAKER_04:

Adobe is a company and it doesn't work for anyone.

SPEAKER_00:

They are they've really gone downhill. I I wouldn't give them a dime anymore.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, Adobe. Take that.

SPEAKER_00:

That's how I feel about it. Oh Jake, that some people love them, honestly. I just don't I could probably be convinced, but I've you could do a ton of stuff with Resolve, DaVinci Resolve for video editing, GIMP for photo editing. Um you can use tons of stuff for like Python for PDF creation and editing, Canva. You can use um for audio editing. I've been using uh Audacity and Cakewalk. All that stuff is completely free. Most of it's open source. So I have no need for Adobe myself.

SPEAKER_04:

You don't need to pay a broken product like Adobe to work for it.

SPEAKER_00:

And I'm not against people pay charging, but like, but like Adobe does make some pretty killer software, but I've had a lot of trouble with them in the past. They don't support their legacy stuff. They've anything that they sunset, they basically just say good luck.

SPEAKER_03:

Sorry.

SPEAKER_00:

Like I've had to like I've had to have like go to like Newgrounds. Do you remember Newgrounds?

SPEAKER_04:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

You remember like Berninating the country? Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_04:

Like the Burninator? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

What was that guy's name?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh Trogdor?

SPEAKER_00:

Trogdor. That was like a new a Newgrounds uh cartoon or whatever.

SPEAKER_03:

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm pretty sure it was. I've had to go on this old piece of legacy newgrounds software to convert Swift files to MP4s.

SPEAKER_04:

You're nerd showing.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, but what I'm trying to say is you'd think Adobe would support that in like the newer versions of animation. Even though it's even though they sunset Flash, which whatever, that's fine. You should still involve uh you should still offer some at least a converter or a script or some documented process or something. They don't care.

SPEAKER_04:

They don't care.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, well, they don't care about it.

SPEAKER_04:

That's what that's the takeaway.

SPEAKER_00:

All right, you ready?

SPEAKER_04:

Next?

SPEAKER_00:

Yep.

SPEAKER_04:

Which sci-fi series? Don't give me a start on Apple. Yeah. We're not going down that road. The timer is running right now. Yeah, we got eight minutes left.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, Caroline's still two, so we've got to add a couple.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

We probably have to end early because of that.

SPEAKER_04:

It should work. She should be able to get in the car. Okay. Uh which sci-fi series are flawless from start to finish? You saved that one. Do you remember getting anything out of it?

SPEAKER_00:

I think somebody might have I think the expanse was probably on there.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

Firefly was excellent for all one season.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Firefly was really good. Yeah. That was really sad. Biggest robbery from TV is what it says.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, yeah. Is Farscape on there?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. What was that noise, Gruber? I don't know. Can you think of other things you liked, sci-fi? Expanse for me was the best.

SPEAKER_00:

All this from start to finish?

SPEAKER_04:

Expanse wasn't well said.

SPEAKER_00:

And you can't say that about Star Trek any Star Trek, I don't think. Next generation didn't get good till about halfway through the second season.

SPEAKER_04:

Um, Scavengers Rain.

SPEAKER_00:

Scavenger's Rain, but that was only a season.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. I think that's the key.

SPEAKER_00:

Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free. You can't take Sky Only Song over there. That's the theme from Firefly.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh my gosh. I think Joss Whedon wrote that one, didn't he?

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

That song doesn't even have any.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

I feel like that was starting to get pretty good.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but didn't it was it over? Did we not finish it?

SPEAKER_00:

No, we didn't even finish the first season.

SPEAKER_04:

Why not? I thought we liked it.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know. We did like it. I think. Okay, we like that.

SPEAKER_04:

We could put that back on.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Somebody wrote Dark. I guess it's sci-fi, but it's more just time travel.

SPEAKER_00:

Dark, you want to talk about the audience who won't like it? I don't know why I can't get in there. I couldn't get two side. We tried to get back into it. Two uh sci-fi pieces of media that I wish I liked, but I don't, that everyone else does. Blade Runner and Dark.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_04:

Gosh, I don't remember. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_04:

I'm mad that no one has written down forensic files. The X files.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, well was it fall start to finish?

SPEAKER_04:

I think it must have definitely had been a bit of a good idea.

SPEAKER_00:

Reddit is pretty good about this kind of thing.

SPEAKER_04:

They are beacon of truth, harbinger of truth. Um, okay. You have so many work dumb work questions on here. Nobody wants to hear about that. Chrome. You have so many Chromebook questions on here. Tell us a little about Chromebooks, Rob. Talk about Chromebooks and why you would have a lot of pinned saved Chromebook posts.

SPEAKER_00:

Chromebooks are the ultimate love hate for me. Um first of all, Chromebooks, if if you're just used to an educational environment where all you're used to is crappy student Chromebooks. Um they can be much better. I have a Chromebook I use for work. Now, half the time I'm remoting into Windows and Linux machines. However, it does work quite well for most things. Um it's a pretty powerful little laptop. I think I have like a 15-inch.

SPEAKER_04:

But why do you have so many saved?

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, but just I'm all oh, sorry. I'm I'm getting into that. I don't care about I always I I have to manage them. I have to manage 3,000 Chromebooks give or take.

SPEAKER_04:

And um as a as a person who's married to an IT person, if I hear about Chromebooks, there was a time, maybe within the last year, where if I had to hear one more thing about a Chromebook, I was gonna I was gonna leave you. It was getting bad.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a lot of Chromebook talk.

SPEAKER_00:

I've lost I've said I I bet half of my F word volume from the last five years has been dedicated to Chromebook content. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

All right, moving on. Here's one.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay, so that's why I save a lot of them.

SPEAKER_04:

Here's a great one. This this post that you saved is titled Games for Girlfriend Who Sucks at Gaming. Tell us why you might posted that one.

SPEAKER_00:

It was the spirit of spirit of the post.

SPEAKER_04:

I do not suck at gaming. Someone else wrote busted. The spirit of the post.

SPEAKER_00:

That's one of the reasons I do love Reddit. Stuff like username checks out is is something that never gets old for me. I always laugh at that. You know what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_01:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

When somebody has like stucky stucky girlfriend video game player as their username. Somebody's like username checks. That's a stupid example. It's usually extremely stupid.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, if I was going to start a Reddit thread, I would definitely call myself Stucky Girlfriend.

SPEAKER_00:

But you could like change your display name for post sometimes, like if you want. Anyways.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, it lists we've got to be.

SPEAKER_00:

But I wanted to find a game that you I think Hogwarts Legacy might have been in there.

SPEAKER_04:

Listen, it says she's played and liked Hogwarts Legacy Animal Crossing.

SPEAKER_00:

That's why I saved it. It's like every game you've played.

SPEAKER_04:

Shut up, the internet. You don't know me.

SPEAKER_00:

There you go. Anything on there appeal to you?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh I'm in a new. I'm searching for a new thread. I did love Hogwarts Legacy though. When another one comes out, I'm getting it.

SPEAKER_00:

Cool.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, here's a sweet one. Need a jazz tune for a good cry. I'm feeling a bit emotional and missing someone. I don't know much about jazz, but any recommendations for these soulful heart tugging tracks?

SPEAKER_00:

SPEAKER_00:

You can't.

SPEAKER_04:

This guy, he's a heavy set fella. He was a sweaty looking kind of guy, and he said sweet tea, and I said, Would you consider that for a nickname if you worked here? He said, No. I wouldn't.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, and you'd be like, oh I was like I was like Thanks for your time.

SPEAKER_00:

I felt a little bit bad because he he just looked like he was almost hurt by it. I kind of want to be like, yeah, you're definitely not working here. Yeah, you're gonna do that. Number of A, I can't call you sweet T. And B, you're gonna make me feel bad about it.

SPEAKER_04:

SPEAKER_00:

Seriously.

SPEAKER_04:

Um we're all idiots. Everybody's obsessed with media literacy.

SPEAKER_00:

Reddit is my social media. Like if I had to pick a thing that I'm on all the time that I probably should be on less, it's definitely Reddit.

SPEAKER_04:

How about lack of critical thinking? Is that a worrisome trend you're noticing?

SPEAKER_00:

A hundred percent.

SPEAKER_04:

I agree.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, but at the same time, I gotta wonder if that's something to just age, yeah. But I think it could be one of those things, and I'm sure there's a name for this, but as you become better at the thing or that you're saying that other people aren't good at, um like critical thinking, for instance, I've become much better at critical thinking over the years. Yeah. Um because you know, my job, I have to do it every single day. And it just becomes so obvious when that other people don't ever people don't even try. They don't even try. They really don't.

SPEAKER_04:

And it's because they have too many resources.

SPEAKER_00:

I could give a lot of stories of just the last week where people are like, I'm like, dude, are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_04:

Right. Just ask the first question. Ask the first question.

SPEAKER_00:

Ask the first question, yeah. Convince me that you actually want this done. Well, right. Let's start there. Anyways. But yeah, that is a huge thing. And I do believe it's getting it's just so so many things are so easy to get and start and engage with now that at the second there's any hurdle whatsoever, people are out.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm gonna say something that people are not people are not gonna like.

SPEAKER_00:

Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04:

I feel like that has happened in the medical field where there's so many tests that are available that not all, but many health professionals don't look at a whole picture anymore. They're not looking at all of the tests together with the person's age and lifestyle and you know, all of these things that I feel like doctors in the in the olden days, pre-2000 pretty much, who didn't have access to as much information had to actually think critically about all the evidence. I mean, they were a bit more like detectives than than doctors have to be today. Not to say that they're not brilliant, but I don't think, in my opinion, that a lot of them follow it.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a side effect of you're right.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a side it's a like you're saying, the read there's so many reasons.

SPEAKER_00:

Same exact thing in IT. Same exact thing. It's a side effect of a good thing, which is lots of deep specializations. You get people who are just wizards in certain fields, but what often happens, and you get some studs of you know, in the medical professions and and IT, and and in really anything that has that has a bunch of different tunnels and avenues and things to get good at. But yeah, you're right. The best folks tend to be the ones who came from I'm I'm sure there's there is a brain surgeon out there who started out started out as like a triage wartime paramedic or something, you know. Yeah who's just like has the full breadth of knowledge that they would, you know. Yeah. Or but but it's a yeah, it's a side effect of specializations where you you know, there's people who get paid 200 grand a year to work on really high-level databases who don't know how to install the software that they're working on. Like, I'm not exaggerating this. Yeah, uh I used to work with those folks a lot. And they could they could talk your ear off and they can tell you all sorts of incredible things about what they are good at and what they get paid for. Hopefully, some can't. Some are also lying. Some know how to play the game and throw the right people under the bus.

SPEAKER_04:

That's not new.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Anyways.

SPEAKER_04:

Alright, the last one on here that I'll say is living your entire life through a screen. iPad kids starting to grow up and they can't have normal conversations with others. This was a This is a worrisome trend in society.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Yeah, kids don't know how to be bored.

SPEAKER_04:

They do not.

SPEAKER_00:

Louis C.K.'s got to get bit on that if I recall.

SPEAKER_04:

It's kind of crazy.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it's not even really a it's not even really funny, I don't think. I remember being being like, eh, this is too real, Louie.

SPEAKER_04:

Louie.

SPEAKER_00:

Little Louie.

SPEAKER_04:

He likes to go out.

SPEAKER_00:

Speaking of people who got in trouble.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, thank you.

SPEAKER_00:

I think he's sort of out of it. I think he's kinda He made it out. I think he made it to the other side. Right. I think he was uh yeah, I don't need to say what he was doing. You can hear him talk about it. He's I think he's pretty open with him, if I'm not mistaken.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, people can change.

SPEAKER_00:

People can, yeah. And if if they have really funny stories that pretty much told us he was doing this in his jokes. It's not his fault. He tried to tell us.

SPEAKER_04:

Was it the deer? Were the deer the ones pressing the charges?

unknown:

No.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. Sorry.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh the deer. Sorry.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_00:

You said you didn't want to watch it.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a horror movie. You said you didn't want to watch it. Well, it's a it's like a kind of a it's it's a horror movie. I don't know anything about it, but it's like very Jordan Peel made it and it's like got a lot of racial undertones. I think that's why you didn't want to watch it.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

What do you have against racism?

SPEAKER_04:

Well Well, it's not that I'm against racism. That'd be a terrible soundbite to have. It it hurts me. It hurts me.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it's terrible.

SPEAKER_04:

And then if you're gonna combine it with horror, I don't think I'm gonna.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know where it's going. It just started to get weird. But they hit a deer in the beginning. And the guy, I can't I can't remember the actor's name. He plays uh Eric from Billy Madison, and he's also in Cabin in the Woods, which is a great horror movie. I don't love horror movies, by the way.

SPEAKER_04:

That was a great one. That was delightful.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. If if I could say that about a horror movie. Um he's in it and he's talking about how much he hates deer, and he's like, good, because they hit one on the way. He's like, good. Every time I pass one on the road, I'm glad it's dead. I'm just gonna go. Hey, I'm not sorry.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm not sorry it's hunting season, I'm not gonna lie.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a bit like uh dodge them frogger around here.

SPEAKER_00:

It is, and they're all over the place.

SPEAKER_04:

And I've hit one once? I've hit more cow than deer.

SPEAKER_00:

That's true, you've hit two cows.

SPEAKER_04:

Two cows and one deer.

SPEAKER_00:

Maybe it's you.

SPEAKER_04:

Maybe I'm the problem?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I'm j Did you hit Kitty? Was that Kitty Wills? Don't you say that about my wife? Hey, um. I was trying to find a way to shoehorn Uncle Dan into this. Oh my god. Then we have a we have talk about Uncle Dan. Oh, well, you know what? We could talk about uh I think Uncle Dan was how about this? This is this is this is preaching.

SPEAKER_04:

If Uncle Dan ever listens to this, he's gonna be like, you guys stop me.

SPEAKER_00:

Uncle Dan's brother Tim.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

He he's a pretty decent guitar player. Is he really? Yeah, I've heard him play uh I think I heard him play Acadian Driftwood on the guitar. This is a band song, which I believe is on Wow. Which is on uh doesn't even matter. They've taken us on a drive. Southern Cross, which is what Christmas Must Be Tonight was supposed to be on, but instead it got bumped to the 77 album Islands.

SPEAKER_04:

We're still this is still that's wonderful. I was with as soon as you said he played a song by the band, I was done. I didn't need to hear any of the rest of that. I was with you, I loved it. The connection has been made. Thank you, Uncle Tim.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know if a Katie and the album. I think it was. I think it was. It's a good album. I know I've heard it before. Just do you like the band? How much I do, yeah. How much band you listen to?

SPEAKER_04:

Not much, but what I've I've been learning more of it, you know, for work. And I'm I'm literally thrilled to have this song, Christmas Must Be Tonight.

SPEAKER_00:

Christmas Must Be Tonight.

SPEAKER_04:

Uh in my repertoire now because I have sorry, I'm so sorry. I have some people that I see that are like in their sixties and shut up. And they like some of this, you know, newer music.

SPEAKER_00:

Right. Well, I mean, it's only uh forty seven years old, or if it came out in the sixties? 77.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, okay, okay. My people are in their sixties. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So they were in their twenties, right, when that was coming out. So people that are a little younger than my mom, like a little younger than our parents, are starting to creep into my It's starting to die. It's starting to die, starting to get sick and die. And their music is a little is a little newer, relatively speaking, than what a lot of what I've been doing the first part of my career. So uh the band did have a Christmas song that is not let it snow, let it snow, you know, any of that kind of stuff is really nice. I really need to learn the Eagles, too. I'm gonna work on that this year as well.

SPEAKER_00:

You know, I kind of wanted to hear the Eagles. I think the Eagles could cover this song pretty darn well if they haven't. I couldn't find one, but it sounds like it could be an Eagle song. Well, it's it's very distinctly banned. The band has a s has a sound. I'm just saying, I shouldn't I shouldn't say it sounds like it should be an Eagle song.

SPEAKER_04:

What I mean to say is it could be done well by the Eagles.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, the Eagles could make it make it pretty great. Because it it is a great song. I don't so have you have you heard this before?

SPEAKER_04:

Ye from you, okay, but not otherwise. I don't remember when I was. And from like a couple years ago.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I probably first heard it. I've been wanting to learn it so we could because you know every now and then somebody says, like, hey, could you play something for church? And it'd be cool to play a like you're saying, like a good song. Like it's not that there aren't a million great Christmas songs, and a lot of them are the Christmas carols are beautiful, but they're hard and they're high. Yeah, and I'm not gonna do one.

SPEAKER_04:

You know what I mean? That being A number one. I'm not gonna do one.

SPEAKER_00:

So there. So but I would like to do this song. So I'm like, I need to learn that because we were talking about Robbie Robertson and all the work he's done with Scorsese, because we were talking about the Irishman.

SPEAKER_01:

Oh, I think.

SPEAKER_00:

I had him on my mind. I was trying to think of a Christmas song because we're picking Christmas songs. We did Baby It's Cold Outside last time. Um and I was thinking like Donnie Hathaway, It's Christmas, or this Christmas. And I saw it, I'm like, there's two chords in this song. I don't I I'm gonna have to learn things. We're not gonna have a lot of time this week.

SPEAKER_04:

I already made you learn something last week. Well, the what chords are. I was just gonna say this from a music theory standpoint. It's interesting to me because it's very straightforward. There's no chords that don't belong, they're all part of the G family.

SPEAKER_01:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

However, the melody does some things that leave it f open, makes it feel open. It does. I mean, it closes off must be that. That's like a you know, pretty good ending. But the verses and then that little the part of the chorus where it goes dun dun dun, like where it repeats twice.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh yeah, yeah, yeah. The E minor to the G at the end. When it's going to the buried alive, oh that part, yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah. Those I don't know, they're just more, it's slightly more interesting than you think it's gonna be, based on the fact that it's got some simple chords.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes. Um so good job.

SPEAKER_04:

Totally.

SPEAKER_00:

But it it really like it's it's such a well-structured song and such a simple song.

SPEAKER_04:

It's super good.

SPEAKER_00:

The band is really good at just filling sonic space. Like, you know what I mean? What do you mean? Well, they just they're really that's they're really simple. Like they have they have three pretty much three singers. Um I'm sure there's probably I'm sure everybody in the band song at some point. But yeah, you got uh uh Danko was the uh I think he's the bass player. And he I don't I'd look up his name for the I don't I don't know him by name, but Levon Helm was a drummer, he sang. Um uh what's his face? Um oh my gosh, I'm blanking. Anyways, I I know they had three singers. And uh Robbie Robertson wrote this song, he's a g guitar player, and you had uh um what's his face? Garth Hudson, he's the keyboard player, he plays like That dude that guy, I don't think the band would be the band without that guy. You could probably say that for any of them, but he is just this mad scientist on anything with keys, including accordions. The dude plays a saxophone.

SPEAKER_04:

Do you know how hard it is to play in an accordion?

SPEAKER_00:

Play in an I can imagine.

SPEAKER_04:

Play an accordion. It's very hard. You have to be strong enough to push, because then you're generating the sound by squeezing it and pulling it apart, and they're heavy. And one hand, while you're doing that, while you're squeezing it in and out, one hand is playing buttons, pushing buttons to make the bellows ring a chord, and the other hand is playing a melody on a keyboard. So you're literally doing three things at once.

SPEAKER_00:

And oftentimes singing, too.

SPEAKER_04:

Yes, definitely.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. That's pretty weird.

SPEAKER_04:

Go to a German restaurant, those people they should be getting paid more.

SPEAKER_00:

So like uh Weird Owl. Weird Al's dad, wasn't he? Uh isn't he a great cool?

SPEAKER_04:

I l I have no idea.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay. But we don't talk about Weird Ow.

SPEAKER_04:

Anyway.

SPEAKER_00:

Anyways, Garth Hudson is awesome. I've I've seen him playing in like uh it just he's always fun to watch. Like he he's just a he looks like a I don't know. I have like mad scientist vibes for him. I don't really know the band that well. I've always liked them. My buddy Dan Danny V left a band, I think it was their self-titled, um, C D in my car. And the rest was history.

SPEAKER_04:

Now here we are.

SPEAKER_00:

Listened to it a million times, and uh I've kind of since hit him up every now and then. I I I really love I've seen The Last Waltz, although I'll probably rewatch that. I haven't seen that in a long time. That's a Scorsese. That's how Robbie Robertson and Scorsese got hooked up. Do you have uh that and cocaine?

SPEAKER_04:

Do you have a cover? Cover band.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh, going straight for the covers? We talk about existing covers?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know. Who would you like to hear cover, or is there a cover you like? I don't care. Well, um This is basically your podcast. I'm just here to keep you on the realm.

SPEAKER_00:

Honey, get out of here. So this is on this is on Islands. Is it the name of the album?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

I listened to that this week as well.

SPEAKER_04:

Does it have other Crixmax music on it?

SPEAKER_00:

No, that's it. This was on Elton John's Christmas party album.

SPEAKER_04:

I love Elton John.

SPEAKER_00:

Everyone had Bruce Springsteen and the Rottenett's on there, just a blot of Christmas party.

SPEAKER_04:

If you want to get me a present, I want Elton John for Christmas.

SPEAKER_00:

He he put on a great concert.

SPEAKER_04:

He did.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Um it is Train did a cover of it.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh. It's pretty much. Oh, yeah. I like Train. I like Train.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, they're fine. It pretty much just did kind of a just a note-for-note cover of it, kind of like what Weezer did with all their songs. It's kind of like, eh. Yeah. I mean, it's good. It's not bad, but I want to do something just a little different. Kate Hudson did a cover of it. Whoa. Can she sing? Yeah, she can, actually. Um her I can't remember the name. I think it's like her boyfriend or fiance or I don't know. He's I think playing guitar, although I can't remember his name. He's pretty good.

SPEAKER_04:

Wasn't she with uh oh no, I'm thinking of that other lady. Um Gwynneth Paltra, wasn't she with Coldplay? Who cares?

SPEAKER_00:

She was with she was dating Chris Robinson from the Black Crows.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh. Who was what's Coldplay's name? Chris Martin?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know. Yeah. I like some Coldplay. I like that uh winna rule the world. That's Coldplay, isn't it?

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_00:

What's the name of that song?

SPEAKER_04:

Is that Coldplay?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I wasn't crazy about that. The Coldplay is fine. They're fine.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, well, do you want to know who I want to hear and do it, who I want to hear do a cover?

SPEAKER_00:

Uh Hollow Notes did it as well.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_00:

I'm telling you who did it. Hollow Notes was pretty good. Okay. It was okay. It was a little different. They did I like their chorus. They did some cool stuff with Harmony.

SPEAKER_04:

It's like Welcome to Holland.

SPEAKER_00:

It was. It was also on the Scrooged soundtrack.

SPEAKER_04:

Hmm. What the heck is that?

SPEAKER_00:

You've never seen Scrooged?

SPEAKER_04:

No.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a Christmas Carol with Bill Murray. It's kind of like a Bill who? Bill Murray.

SPEAKER_04:

Bill Mary.

SPEAKER_00:

Bill Mary.

SPEAKER_04:

Bill Mary, the Virgin Mary.

SPEAKER_00:

It's I remember I've seen it a couple times as a kid. I don't know if it holds up. I'd imagine it probably does.

SPEAKER_04:

I said I bet it doesn't.

SPEAKER_00:

I think it's kind of interesting that uh Robbie Robertson is not as far as I could find, he's not a Christian. Huh. So he just wrote this song.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, you know, he doesn't that's what because when you've talked about doing it at church, it doesn't really praise God.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I mean, it says the little baby boy give the people so much joy.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, but that's just a commentary.

SPEAKER_00:

Mary carried the light. Yeah, I mean that's but it's not He's using it's actu it's actually extreme it's extremely biblical. Like the words he chooses for like swabbling and the you know um but he's literally just telling a story. Yeah, he's just taking Which is great.

SPEAKER_04:

It's nothing wrong with it.

SPEAKER_00:

He's doing what he does in a lot of his other songs um where he's taking the he's taking the the narrative perspective from like a common man, like Virgil Kane. You know, or I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know.

SPEAKER_00:

The night they drove old Dixie. Oh, okay. We talked about that. I get these random braid farts, so I can't remember name the name of a song that I've heard a thousand times.

SPEAKER_04:

Um okay.

SPEAKER_00:

But um but he anyway, so go ahead, go ahead. You want you want to share covers and you you're you you're not interested in all my the inf information about the album Islands because I could tell you don't want to You made me sit on this terrible stool. Do you want to switch? I don't like it.

SPEAKER_04:

It's too late. We're almost done. We're almost done.

SPEAKER_00:

There's other great songs on that album?

SPEAKER_04:

Are any of them Christmas?

SPEAKER_00:

No.

SPEAKER_04:

Was that supposed to be a Christmas song?

SPEAKER_00:

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_04:

I mean like were they like trying to mark like were they trying to make money off of it? Like um Kelly Clarkson.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't know the details of how islands came together, but like I said, it was supposed to be on uh Northern Lights Southern Cross, which was two years prior. It did for whatever reason it didn't make this was like one of the last albums they put together before they broke up, and I think so anyway. And and they put just a bunch of stuff on there that they had, and this was one of them. I think that's more or less how it got on there. It was almost just like in the miscellaneous bucket. He wrote it after his son was born.

SPEAKER_04:

Um Did he think his son was Jesus?

SPEAKER_00:

I don't I don't believe so. I don't have that in my notes.

SPEAKER_04:

Was his wife carrying light?

SPEAKER_00:

No, no, I do have it. Yeah, nope, did not think his son was himself. Yeah. Uh but Right is Rain, Islands is a great song, it's an instrumental.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. Ooh. You haven't talked a single word.

SPEAKER_00:

Twilight. I like that a lot.

SPEAKER_04:

You haven't talked about a single instrumental today till just now.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

You're growing up.

SPEAKER_00:

Georgia on my mind. They do a cool cover, though. Oh, I like that. It's pretty good. It's a pretty darn good cover. Um, so who would you like to hear cover cover this?

SPEAKER_04:

The Avid Brothers.

SPEAKER_00:

Ooh. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Here's why. Avid Brothers music is so straightforward. At least they're early, early albums. But I guess, and it's repetitive, but I can't stop. I love it so much, and I feel like this fits that and they could do a great job. Put some uh you know, mandolin and all that crap on there.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I think they do an awesome job. Who who what's your f do you have a favorite Avon Brothers song?

SPEAKER_04:

Um, I like that in the curve. Um where he says, uh uh it's about hitting the tree.

SPEAKER_00:

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

Fenders uh meet fenders, fenders meet whatever. I can't.

SPEAKER_00:

I don't remember, but I know I know I've heard the song. What's the one with uh love and hate b the The Ballad of Love and Hate of Love and Hate? That's there aren't a lot of songs that I find lyrically appealing on their own merit. I mean it's a great song, like the melody's interesting and stuff, but it's so simple and just repeats itself. Like a Gordon Lightfoot song.

SPEAKER_02:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

May you rest in peace. Yeah. But it's um that song, like it really pulls you in, especially if you know somebody with a similar relationship.

SPEAKER_04:

The the lyric I like in that In the Curb is metal surrenders when oak trees meet fenders and something's go through the front seat of camera.

SPEAKER_00:

Yes, I know I know exactly what song you're talking about. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

But anyway, that's who I want to hear do it. I also have a B side.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

But I bet you don't know it.

SPEAKER_00:

This, by the way, folks, is with we like to play like a fantasy draft.

SPEAKER_04:

Where have you been? This isn't news.

SPEAKER_00:

You can have any dream cover you want. You can have any you have to pick a B side for this. Uh what's your B side?

SPEAKER_04:

Okay, you don't know it. There's this Christmas, it's a Christmas song. And you don't know it.

SPEAKER_00:

You don't know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_04:

But it's called The Gift. And um, it's about a little girl who saves a bird with a broken wing.

SPEAKER_00:

It this really honestly does sound familiar.

SPEAKER_04:

I made you I've made you listen to it before. Uh it's just why would you say I don't know it? It's just so pretty and believable. It's like it's just such a pretty song. And the girl that's singing, it's written by a person called Stephanie Davis. But there's a singer on there and her name is A-S-E-L-I-N. A Celin? Aselin?

SPEAKER_00:

I think it's Asseline. Lynn.

SPEAKER_04:

Debison is her last name. And she's this little girl. And I I don't love little kids singing.

SPEAKER_00:

I mean apostrophe Lynn. I mean hyphen.

SPEAKER_04:

Anyway, I don't love child singers, but it has like a very folksy it just tells a story, and it's about a bird of the broken wing, and I think I think God saves it, heals it because she's all she has nothing else. She's poor, but she gives everything she has to try to heal this bird. And so then God heals the bird. I'm pretty sure is the premise of the story.

SPEAKER_00:

Okay.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm gonna learn it and I'm gonna sing it to you.

SPEAKER_00:

I want to hear it, I'm looking forward to it.

SPEAKER_04:

All right. That's mine.

SPEAKER_00:

I it sounds honestly, it sounds way cheesier than I thought you would like it.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, it's just pretty, though. The melody.

SPEAKER_00:

No, I'd love to love to hear it. Because the lyrics just sound awful.

SPEAKER_04:

No, they do not. Anyway, what do you want to hear on your B side?

SPEAKER_00:

On my B side, uh I man, I was struggling with that. Kelly's car started, by the way. It did?

SPEAKER_04:

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_00:

Hallelujah.

SPEAKER_04:

Hallelujah, everybody.

SPEAKER_00:

That is great.

SPEAKER_04:

Now you can't cut that phone call because then no one will know what we're talking about.

SPEAKER_00:

No one will know what we're talking about. Yeah. Clark opened the last one.

SPEAKER_04:

I know, I've listened to it.

SPEAKER_00:

So, um, okay, on my B side, I So I put first I had Snowblind Friend. Are you familiar with that? It's a Steppenwolf song.

SPEAKER_03:

Okay.

SPEAKER_00:

It's got a similar kind of vibe to it. Not lyrically. Lyrically, it's about a guy whose friend is his life is falling apart because of drugs. Cocaine.

SPEAKER_03:

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_00:

He he had is it Robbie Robertson? No. It's uh I don't know. I don't know the whole I don't know if it was actually about a guy. I'm sure it was. I think everybody had a friend who, if if they weren't themselves, who was had a cocaine problem.

SPEAKER_04:

Everybody knows somebody.

SPEAKER_00:

So, but it's a it's a great tune. It's got the same sort of vibe. It's kind of like happy. Can you know there's kind of like a happy groove to it? Snowblind Friend kind of has a happy groove, but it's about like almost the opposite. It's a kind of a uh a narrative of a you know, he's it one of those ones we like when you're said he wanted heaven, but praying was too slow. It's got a lot of religious overtones in it, but it's all about somebody who's just rock bottom, just chewed up. Yeah. This I thought it would be kind of like the same kind of uh musical kind of framework, similar, but which is completely different, like more of a hopeful message. I decided not. That's not my beast.

SPEAKER_04:

I wouldn't but you're probably gonna tell me more about that one.

SPEAKER_00:

Well, I love the song.

SPEAKER_04:

Than the one that you did choose, I think.

SPEAKER_00:

But it's one of my it's a great, it's one of my favorite songs. I like to take you on a little journey. There's a rule. Taking you on a journey, baby. And I think I'm gonna settle for Father and Son.

SPEAKER_04:

Okay. Oh.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, that song?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh sing a little of it.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I don't know any lyrics.

SPEAKER_04:

I was singing Wild World.

SPEAKER_00:

Find a wife.

SPEAKER_04:

It's a really okay. It sounds like the Brady Bunch there.

SPEAKER_00:

Can't wait to learn it. It's a it's a bon bon.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know it.

SPEAKER_00:

They sing it in the in Guardians of the Galaxy episode two, or whatever the second one is.

SPEAKER_04:

Movie?

SPEAKER_00:

Where Michael Rooker's character dies. Oh, and he's like the father to spoilers. Oh shoot.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, nobody knows who Michael Rucker is. Rooker. Rucker?

SPEAKER_00:

People better know who Michael Rooker is. He's this is the third time he's come up on this podcast.

SPEAKER_04:

You know, we're a podcast for the underdog. So if you don't like that, then you're you're the problem.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a beautiful song. It's like one of those songs that if if if we s if we cover it, I'll probably have to practice it 50 times by myself so I don't cry when I sing it.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, you have a son.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, but I do. And it's it's it's it's just really it's a nice song. It's acoustic, it's pretty, it's very lean, even more lean than this song. Um, and Robbie Robertson was inspired to write this song at the birth of his son. I just think it's it's a reach, but I it's I want to hear it. I think it's a nice pair. It's a birth of a son. A son and the sun. And um cover. I want to so I I had like I I I I have you could see like where I've kind of brainstormed through this. I have uh I had the Eagles on there, I had the Grateful Dead on there.

SPEAKER_04:

But I was thinking I'd like the Grateful Dead, didn't you not?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, it'd be great.

SPEAKER_04:

But they are dead, so we're gonna have to wait.

SPEAKER_00:

Most of them are. Um I'm thinking the doors.

SPEAKER_04:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

I'd like it to go something like this. I'd like it to be a real long opening. Manzarick and Krieger doing like a guitar.

SPEAKER_04:

I think it needs an organ.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. I want, but here's the thing. I want the organ to be kind of harsh in the beginning, like the crystal ship kind of organ, like kind of like a crystal cave.

SPEAKER_04:

Do you know the song Crystal Ship? I don't.

SPEAKER_00:

It's a good tune.

SPEAKER_04:

But Crystal Caves, I know about those.

SPEAKER_00:

Um, I don't know why some people hate on the doors. I don't I don't get it.

SPEAKER_04:

I've said crystal caves.

SPEAKER_00:

Steven Segal, baby. I'd love to hear Steven Segal do it. I'm building up to that. No, I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_04:

People don't like the doors.

SPEAKER_00:

There are people don't like there's people don't like everybody. I'm sure there's plenty of people who hate the band.

SPEAKER_04:

Can you hear my eyes? They're rolling.

SPEAKER_00:

So I'd like for them to do that. Maybe uh Krieger doing like a Spanish kind of Krieger? Eddie Krieger. I think it's just the last name. Krieger, Kruger? It's Krieger. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04:

I don't know who he is. That's a joke.

SPEAKER_00:

You don't have to second guess it's and then they go in, and then Morrison jumps in, starts singing, and then in the middle of it.

SPEAKER_03:

Wow.

SPEAKER_00:

In the second, after the second verse, he does like a long, like droning, like lizard king style reading of like Isaiah 61 or like some other like prophetic Old Testament.

SPEAKER_03:

Like from the Messiah. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And then it builds back up into like a big glowing warm, you know, Rhodes keyboard. And then he goes in like touch me. So you're making me style singing.

SPEAKER_04:

Come on, come on, come on. Yeah. It's so it's kind of an epic.

SPEAKER_00:

I want it to be, I want it three parts. I want this thing to be.

SPEAKER_04:

So it's sort of like a queen Bohemian Rhapsody.

SPEAKER_00:

Uh yeah, you could say.

SPEAKER_04:

In in form, anyway.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. Like I said, we there's gonna be a point where we're gonna have to outlaw different cover artists like Queen.

SPEAKER_04:

We've only said Queen once, and that was the same one.

SPEAKER_00:

I know, I'm just saying there will be a time where we will have to say no queen for covers.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, if you want to hear us do it.

SPEAKER_00:

What about a movie?

SPEAKER_04:

Oh gosh, you're right.

SPEAKER_00:

One of the any soundtrack ideas.

SPEAKER_04:

I mean, it's so religious. That and I hate religious movies. I love God and Jesus. I hate man-made movies about them.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. About them. It's kind of tough to capture the magic.

SPEAKER_04:

It really is.

SPEAKER_00:

Except for Bruce Almighty.

SPEAKER_04:

Well, I was gonna say compassion.

SPEAKER_00:

Zach Zach Alfin, I guess he's he's got Steve Carell on there, and he's like, he's like, what's your favorite? He's like, oh no, Evan Almighty, it was great. He's like, it was, it was good.

SPEAKER_04:

You know what? It would go out nicely. Sorry, yes. It would go nicely.

SPEAKER_00:

We need to start watching the same thing so we don't have each other's jokes.

SPEAKER_04:

Who will do everything? If you're because you're always watching movies. Just kidding. Rob does a lot of stuff. He cut the chicken today, he did dishes, he put all the dinners away. He went and got a ultrasound.

SPEAKER_00:

Ultrasound. I got a little oh, guess what?

SPEAKER_04:

What? Wait, I have my movie.

SPEAKER_00:

I have a little baby of my own.

SPEAKER_04:

You do. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

In my throat.

SPEAKER_04:

Oh, is it still there?

SPEAKER_00:

Little thyroid baby.

SPEAKER_04:

Is it but you don't get the results yet?

SPEAKER_00:

No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_04:

You don't know. It could be gone. Anyway, he's fine, everyone. Don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, don't worry about it, guys.

SPEAKER_04:

My, I think, even though this is a classic movie that doesn't need any new soundtracks on it, but a a scene like when Kevin makes up with the trash can man in Home Alone, that would be great for this song.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, I agree. And I and I I had I was thinking Home Alone. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_04:

By the way, the one of the assisted livings that I go to has I don't know why this strikes me as so funny because it seems very morbid to me given the home alone where they think that he's got dead bodies and they're like dissolving in that trash can as he's walking around spreading them out. Well, when you walk up to the front door of this assisted living, they have a huge like five-gallon trash can and it on a big old piece of paper taped on it. It says salt in red letters, and there's like two or three shovels just leaned up against the against the front, and I just can't. It's it makes me feel like they're putting they're putting people in that.

SPEAKER_00:

Were you like sitting there with Butch and he's like, That's where they keep the bodies.

SPEAKER_04:

It's like I have a couple people that live there that could that would definitely believe something like that. Anyway, that's but that's what I think. I think it would go nicely over a scene like that where some people come together.

SPEAKER_00:

I was thinking so too. I was thinking because I was thinking like a John Hughes, trying to think of like a John Hughes movie. Like 'cause because he wrote he wrote Home Alone. He didn't he didn't He didn't direct it. Didn't direct it, but um But I was thinking like Pro Planes, Trains and Automobile. But like like a more Never seen that. But that's a Thanksgiving movie. So uh Yes. But still was Home Alone it's a Christmas movie, so so I went with an I so I looked up a list of movies uh huh that were Christmas movies that aren't really Christmas movies. Oh like Die Hard Die Hard, for instance, or gremlins.

SPEAKER_03:

Right.

SPEAKER_00:

And I'm thinking uh you know I'm thinking it would be perfect. Perfect is uh Batman Returns. The birth of the penguin. Do you remember that movie?

SPEAKER_04:

Uh yeah, I do. Is that the one where he's in a stroller and his hand hangs out or something like that?

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah, his parents throw him off the bridge. Yeah. And he's floating into the sewer.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00:

And the and and he like comes up on all these penguins. I feel like I know it's like borderline blasphemous saying that, you know, a song about the birth of penguins.

SPEAKER_04:

He never had a chance.

SPEAKER_00:

No, he didn't. I felt really bad for him. I was watching it and I was like, geez, this is rough. There's a reason I remember this scene.

SPEAKER_04:

There's a reason people go back to the phone.

SPEAKER_00:

But I've seen that movie like once. They're never when it first came out, 92.

SPEAKER_04:

Where is the person that turns bad that had a nice life?

SPEAKER_00:

That's true.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm not saying it never happened.

SPEAKER_00:

Be nice to people. You might turn him into the penguin.

SPEAKER_04:

Yeah, or you might keep him for a while.

SPEAKER_00:

Pee Wee Herman will throw him off a bridge. Pee Wee Herman was. With the dad?

SPEAKER_04:

I don't even remember that.

SPEAKER_00:

Because I just watched it. Oh. I watched it to make sure. Okay, so I was looking at scene. Yeah, I was looking at a list of movies and I was like, I'm like, I swear there's a scene where a penguin's a baby and he's being raised by penguins. Yeah. And they're like, he's like in charge of them.

SPEAKER_04:

I'm like, this would be the perfect soundtrack is just ridiculous.

SPEAKER_00:

Perfect soundtrack for that scene. So I had to watch the whole scene. It's like the intro. It's like the credits were.

SPEAKER_04:

I I remember.

SPEAKER_00:

Yeah. So we get rid of Danny Elfman's crap. Yeah. Get out of here. Goodbye.

SPEAKER_04:

What mode?

SPEAKER_00:

I'm saying Lydian.

SPEAKER_04:

Please be Mixolydian. Mixolydian! No.

SPEAKER_00:

Look, no.

SPEAKER_04:

The main fanfare melody leans Mixolydian at times because of the lowered seventh.
