Joining us for I think his I think his third appearance on the program,
but the first time here in the the news studio on Canal Street. Ricky
Mapleton is here. How are you, sir? Great to be here,
Great to be here, Thank you, wonderful to see you. You've got
a fresh batch of tunes which were uh, which I've heard, and I
love them, even though the subject is not one that I love. Ironically,
that would be sports. That would be sports. I am not a
sports fan. Well, but I do enjoy the songs. There's a lot
of what would the word be irony perhaps, or I'm not really poking fun
at sports at the same time as poking fun at sports and praising sports.
Yes, yes, it's all that they bring to the table. I feel
the songs are celebratory in nature, Yes they are not, but they are
humorous in nature as well. And when we did play by the Way earlier,
we played one of your songs earlier in this What's what's the actual title?
Do you have any Zeppelin? Do you have any Zeppelin albums? Yeah?
I love that. Can you pull that mic up a little bit?
Do you have any Zeppelin album We're getting used to that new set up here.
Oh yeah, perfect, yeah, thank you. Yeah, I still
love that song. So tell the story of a particular moment in time.
Yeah. Yeah. Selling Zeppelin albums, it's just the thing. If you
have Zeppelin albums, you're sitting on fifty to one hundred bucks. Wow,
yes, really yeah, if you're sitting on let's say the King and I,
you're sitting on nothing. Right. So, as I found out,
I thought all those Broadway plays and stuff would be worth some money right the
record. So I was like, can you just came to the point of
can you just take them? Right? Right? So back in the car
they went, and not to the dump I went, because during the purging
phase. Yeah, so nobody as ever said do you have any the King
and I No, okay, but if you sell albums you know, or
if you if you know a little bit about vinyl, Yeah, classic vinyl
rock album. There's some months that are worth a lot of money, and
so yeah, worth nothing, they won't even take them, right. That's
of course you have Zeppelin albums, right right. If you don't pull that
mic up a bit more to you, Yeah, get right on it.
There you go, thank you. We should uh, we should mention too.
So the you've got well, you've got a lot of music online at
this point. Yes, thank you, thank you, three different, three
different artists. The time Keepers song for every five minutes, right, that
is surprisingly my biggest what would you say, streamed song? That is that
the correct terminology? Yeah, listen if you would. That's what the kids
say, you know, yeah, but that's that's every song for every five
minutes, and a song for every day of the year. Okay, is
what sells the most because it's the music isn't really fabulous, but I would
say, but but it's right to the point and as there was. I
think it was during the COVID I wrote every five minutes and yeah, but
I'm more excited about Screamo Sports Songs. Yes, oh my god? Now
is this so? Is this an album? That's yes, it's called scream
O Sports Songs. May less under the Ricky Mapleton Galaxy of Stars. Do
you know what the Galaxy of Stars came from? No? Remember the the
of the album? What was it? The thing you do? Oh yeah,
yeah yeah, And then he's like, you're under the Galaxy of Stars.
Oh right, right, sorry, just flashing all over that's all right.
Yeah, but Screamo Sports Songs is I'm real excited about it, and
I picture it being played in stadiums. In between like crazy training, they
would play some soccer chant song, pickleball song. I'm excited to to play
these, Yes, so excited. Jonathan F. George is in the Facebook
live chat and says, would love to hear a song about pickleball. Funny
you should say that, and thanks for what are they calling in there?
They're they're in the face Facebook Live U. Pickleball is the highlighted song on
the that's thirty five track Screamo Sports Songs. There's thirty five tracks. Oh
wow, I sent you what. I believe that to be the premiere.
Yes, but you could be wrong. Axe Throw isn't on. There is
a big oh oh, there's just plenty of throwing. You talking biking language.
Yes, well that's the reason I didn't put it on. It's a
little slow, oh okay, and it's a total I don't know, maybe,
but it's about somebody going to an axe throwing. Alcohol and ax throwing
don't mix, right, and I'm amazed that they have ax throwing in bars.
That's mind blowing. Then it's even a yeah, well part of the
song says it clicks off something and hits them in the head and blood everywhere.
Oh my god, it's right down there. Well, there is a
lot that can go on. Let's go pickleball in theory, all right now,
I'm gonna so we'll play this and uh, you know, we'll play
all the ones that you sent me. I do love the but I do
have a question though, and forgive my ignorance, and the song doesn't really
explain it, I believe it or not. Maybe because I'm not particularly a
sports fan, I don't actually know what pickleball is. Okay, I did
not know either, really, all right. I don't feel quite so bad
until I was walking my dog and I went to the Rock Women I think
they call it. I live kind of close to there, the elementary schools
there, and it used to have four tennis courts set up there. And
it's been a couple of years since I walked down there, and I went
down there last summer and I'm like, what the heck is this is this
what they call pickleball? And now there's eight or ten pickleballs in one area
where the tennis courts used to be. Okay, So in theory, you
get more bang for the buck, not as much running. And as you
can see the pickleball that I brought in here, it's kind of fun.
I just started playing around with it. I got to admit yesterday, I'm
sitting in my box since Christmas because I didn't want to open it up until
I came here. Oh wow wow. But I should have practiced. I
was practicing out out here. So that's going to be on tape. Is
that gonna be a problem. No, I'm in near the couchow right now.
We're yeah, we'll be okay. But what but what is it like?
Why is it called pickleball? I don't know. Okay, I should
have researched. Yeah, I'm just all I know. Is not enough running?
You don't have to run, okay, got uh got two bad knees.
What am I to do? Bad hip orthopedic shoe. Just want to
go out and have some fun, some kind of sport. Well, you
don't have to run playing pickleball. And that's the exact hopefully the first course.
Let's play it out sid. This is this is the premiere playing of
Pickleball, the world radio premiere, World radio Premiere. I am not allowed
to play pickleball in here? Is that correct? That is correct? And
can I can I hold up the paddle and do imaginary? You can?
Yes, that you can. Now, this is a pickleball. Radio is
the This is the pickleball. So can we play Theater of the mind invisible
pickleball? Okay, I have imagination. I guess that's a great musician that
you are. I'm sure you do. Okay. So there are two types
of pickleball which I didn't get into before the before I came on. There's
wooden pickleball nineteen ninety nine, Amazon Prime, four four paddles, three balls.
A belt that I just had. It's a beautiful pickleball belt. Did
you see that when I came in A currently there's a belt for pickleball,
a belt, and I want to yeah, I want to show that pickleball
belt because I'm wearing it all morning. Wow. Yeah, because what I
started? But oh, you played pickleball and he said no, never.
So so here's the belt okay. The belt, Oh, the belt is
where you put the ball. There's got a black belt that's got some like
netting in it that you shoved belt and falls into And I would just like
this is they get a paddle holder to the celebration of me being able to
I was worried when I got this. Yeah it was I've been trying to
lose some weight, okay, and I didn't think the pickleball belt fit around
my waist, but it does, it does. So my dream was playing
pickleball in the old studio. Cool, playing pickleball, right, running around
that big studio. Right. Well, now we're yeah, we're in a
nice smaller room now. All right, So but I'm gonna act it out.
I'm gonna dict out too bad knees. What am I to do?
Bad hip orthopedic shoe? Okay, so it'll be like the Macarena, but
with pickleball. Yes, got very good. Yeah, yeah, okay.
Radio is the theater of the mind. Why don't other sports have belts?
By the way, wouldn't it be cool if, like any sport, like
you just always have a ball because you always have the belt. Sports have
a belt. Oh yeah, you have a weight belt. Yeah, parallel
there. You probably want to wear that belt if you're going to try and
throw up six hundred pounds. But you would think tennis players would I don't
think I don't think the pickleball belt is meant to give you probably probably not.
No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't try it. It looks amazing,
it did fit. I did get it to snap. I did. That's
why I sucked it in a little bit. But so that's pickleball. I
think three or four pickleballs can go into one tennis court two pickleballs. So
is it like tennis, like you play half and half, like you can
split it to two different to have two games at the same time you did.
The pickleball court is smaller than a tennis court by a third or a
half or fourth, I'm not sure. So you get more where the where
the four tennis skirts used to be now they're it's like ten or sixteen pickleball
courts. See I was right, multiple games, yes, so there's a
lot of games going on. And when I went there, I was watching
the heads and they had a lot of let's say a former premier athletes now
in there, not saying senior years, our more adult years, and they
were playing it, not as much running, but they take it very seriously.
Is everyone is everyone required to have a belt? You know? I
didn't see anybody with a belt, but it came with the kid two belts,
four balls, I think, four paddles, and I accept it there
and I said, I'm gonna be on Matt Show. I'm not going to
take this out. It was where the tree is, where the tree used
to be, sitting there looking at it, and yesterday I opened it up.
You should have done an unboxing video and put it on YouTube. Those
are big, now what boxing videos? No, an unboxing video of you
unboxing the pickleball? What if you did in reverse? I've never seen someone
do that. Putting it back in it didn't go back there we go.
We'll good. I tried to put it back in the box. Yeah,
oh it wouldn't. But it's a beautiful box, is it? As a
guy up there nicely playing pickleball palm tree? Yeah, he's rarely enjoying his
pickle good. Good. It could be your next pickleball song. Instead of
like man in the box, it's pickleball in the box, in the box.
Well after after scream of sports songs takes over and the people are demanding
sports songs Part two. Yes, we're there by the way. J Bellow
from Chasing the Devil says the world needs a pickleball song, and it now
has one. Well, we're gonna I excited to hear this before. All
right, yeah, all right, this is gonna be a big moment in
your life. You've got to go so here it is the best part.
Here it is. This is the world radio premiere from Ricky Mapleton. This
is called Pickleball. Got Too Bad Nis one of mine to do a replacement
in in an orthopedic cue myself. Want to go out and I have some
fun clay sport where you don't have to run, play pickle bomb, cray
sday. Have my knaves playing pickle bomb. Say lies go out in a
ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small. You'll think you're the
can the court when you're running around in your pickleball shorts. Play pickle ball.
Quay on that playing pick a ball. Let me say the lies cold
out in a ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small. You
think you're the can the court when you're running around and you pickleball short,
sold out in a ball kind of black tennis. Just a little small.
You'll think you're the can the court when you're running around and you pickle ball,
big pick that is the world radio premiere. Oh well done, I
done pickleball by Ricky Mapleton Pickleball. Very nice. I just saw the best
invisible pickle ball game of my life. Thank you. Yes, very welcome.
It's a tie game right now. I'm a little clumped from it.
Hi, it's a very Yiddish sport. I think pickleball I think I could
take over shuffleboard. I don't know about that now, you don't think.
I think it's gonna take a while, but I think shuffleboard and pickleball will
be neck and neck in the Senior Olympics. Is that a thing? Well,
pickleball? Then you know I was very serious. Now there are premier
athletes playing pickleball? Are the real? ESPN four, ESPN two. I
did see it, And of course, of course everybody who's playing pickleball is
a knockout. Not your average pickleball player. You look like they look like
beach volleyball players. Brilliant. Come on, they should have like a classification.
You gotta be over to something to play professional pickleball. Yeah, I
mean everything rules. Well. I think there is an actual pickleball committee Facebook
page that goes that one of the place at Rock women. I believe they
have their own little society. Oh wow, oh yeah, there's a whole
inner world of the pickleball what they call it, pickleball up, pickle pickleball
leagues, Yes, committees bad? Do they decide like what size the ball
I want to be? You know how? That is regulated by the pickleball.
There is a regulation, I believe. So do people try and cheat?
Are there other balls that you can fix? I don't know if my
nineteen ninety nine set is an actual Oh wait out, it felt great though
the first time saying I get it. Yeah, yeah, okay, because
it doesn't like spring all over the place, right, that's good? Yeah,
because then you'd have to chase it. Yeah, to chase a pickleball.
For Bladdy, you're talking about us. They're a deli fa. I
think pickleball deli and shuffle boarder are the shorts mandatory, mandatory. But the
song the pickleball shorts that I'm wearing is the most ridicul listening I could find.
Did those come so? No? No, no, this is not
going but the case, but you think so? What I'm wearing today is
the what I consider to be the recreational pickleball League. This is a seventeen
ninety five pants from Amazon. Okay, stretch, he's just got bad.
The Amazon gonna give you some money for this. I was bought it online
at a These shorts haar I've had for a long time. These are the
official. I knew it was getting old because it has like a little oh
the elastic band. Yeah, yeah, you're getting old because the elastic band
is gaping. Yes, Oh so I did not know that was there were
some pickleball shorts to wear here, and I spawned these like a week ago
and I put them aside and I said, okay, I'm gonna this this
that I had it all planned out in my head, but I forgot to
put my head my headband. It came with a headband too. Oh really
yeah, oh nineteen ninety five. Were you're going to have more fun than
the kit that I got? Yeah? I never now what is the difference
between pickleball shorts and say, tennis short. I don't know. I don't
know if there is actually a pickleball short. Well, you were very pacific.
In my imaginational mind, it was like pickleball shorts. It's gonna be
like now the ones that you see on ESPN with the premier athletes. They're
like skin tight and showing everything and stuff. A true pickleball short you want
to cover up as much as you can while you're playing, right, A
true pickleball person just trying to get back out there play. Some don't have
to run around much. Okay, I'm outside, I'm socializing. M They're
gonna find some stuff that you have hidden in your house to go out and
play. H I think there could be a little connection on pickleball too.
I felt a little like there was some I don't know. My mind was
scattered when I was when I made it to the pickleball court. Uh huh.
There was a lot of male and females, and I felt that perhaps
they were I don't know, maybe there was a they would meeting each other
there to socialize at the pickleball court, so as well as playing pickleball,
because there was a lot of people then it was I'd take twenty people.
So it's like a swinger's thing. Is that what you're hinting? Boy?
So I don't know about Yeah, Well, depends what path of the mind
you want to go down. I thought it was very nice. Sold it's
a cult is what you're saying. No, no, no, no,
no, no no no. I think it's the place for people to go
that used to play tennis and now can't play tennis because you got bad feet,
orthopedic shoe, bad hip. So they shrunk it down. I don't
know who has the rights to actual pickleball, right, it's not like some
giant jar. They put their pedals in and they take a different pedal home.
Oh my, this is going bad now wow? Yeah, yeah,
yeah, but it was very nice to see people out playing pickleball. Yes,
and on the way home, I started humming playing pickleball. Like then
I caught up my friend. I got a great idea for a new project.
Let's do stuff about sports. Yeah, let's make fun of it,
but praise it at the same time. The friend that you worked on with
us, who is it? And is it the individual who you brought the
first time you were on the show. You brought someone with you know,
a different person who wants to remain anonymous, who I asked to call in.
Yeah, request the song, but yes, okay, and without this
individual my use You've heard music that I've done by myself. Sometimes it's questionable,
just just background tracks just to get some vocals over. Sure. On
this particular project, what I'm really proud of is the fact that it's actual
musical. There is some musical backbone to it, yeah, versus just crap
that I'll just pop on more worried about getting a whole bunch of recipe songs
out than actually worrying about how they actually are musically right, right, Okay,
So that's that's why I'm really pumped about this. Yeah, yeah,
this project. Let's uh, oh do you have to go? Yeah,
all right, I gotta get to work, Jesse Coffee. We have to
hear the pickleball though. That that's I was waiting for this. Yes,
I was. I was talked. He talked you up quite a bit.
While Yes, this is amazing. I'm like, I definitely want to hear
this because I'm I'm like Matt, I'm not a big sports person. But
if you can praise it and also make fun of it at the same time,
yeah, I can. I can appreciate the comedic humor, and that's
where that's where we're trying to go here with because like, I love comedic
music. I'm like a big fan of like Bo Burnham. You might might
know him. He's in kind of realm, so like the sports side is
needed. Yeah, but hopefully it will get some traction if I can.
Oh yeah, definitely say if you want to inspire me some more, you
can do one thing. Because being a bartender, beer tender anywhere, there's
always people that ask me like sports stuff, play sports everything. They're asking
me all these questions thinking I know stats and everything, and my only cop
out is I tell them my favorite team is the Harlem Globetrotters and they usually
get upset. You made a song about that forever. That's a great idea.
Uh, sports songs is getting ready, Now we have a song.
What was the other one? Pickle pickleball in a box? Okay, that's
two itself right now, there you go. I like this is brilliant.
But who's who do they play? The Generals played the Washington Generals all the
time. That always loses to them. Yeah yeah, yeah, Well,
thank you guys, all right, Jesse, thank you so much. All
right, Jesse Coffee leaves us a great job today. I think we should
play another track. What what what should we go with next? Rick?
Well, much as I hate to leave the pickle ball behind, but what's
how how's your feelings about like sideline reporters or halftime reports? Can we talk
about that for a second. When I think of sideline reporters, I think
of I don't know her name, but the incident years ago, just because
it made the regular news about when Joe Namath was drunk and was hitting aggressively
hitting on a sideline reporter. Yes, but should we should we play that
sideline reporter? All right? Let's uh, let's see so the song might
give us an idea of some of your feelings about them. Yes, all
right, big intellectual answer. All right, here it is. This is
a side sideline reporter by the great Ricky Mapleton. Let's check this out,
sub place over, Let's go to the sideline reporter talks to the athletes why
they try and catch their breath? What would be too without your inside,
your smile and faces, set your bright light, one step away, run
the announcers boom one of the state away and it's back to what what access
TV? Sideline water sideline quata that how with no help? Let's go do
a five lively pater? What I gonna say that you don't know? Side
like reporter thide live reporter, coach, do you think you're gonna have a
different strategy next half side like reporter thide live, reporter please side like reporter
thie live reporter one step away, run the announcers boom, one mistake away
and it's back to umble Access TV Sideline ATA Sideline reporta Howard No hell,
let's show that sideline report that you don't know sideline reporter from well with the
Joe Namath. What was her name? She was like the first female sideline
reporter. I don't I don't remember during the Howard Coast cell days. Oh
it was Howard Cosell Don Meredith. They were the Monday Night football team.
Yeah. With Howard, Monday Night football was huge. Yeah, and they
had a female sideline reporter, the first one that was big news. I
don't remember her name. She was an actress. Yeah, that was now
the the Howard CoA cell that we hear in. That is that AI generated?
That is myself generated. Oh okay, so that was your Howard co
Sell and press. That's my how what counts sounding pression? That's that's pretty
good. It's the only impression and I can do Mohammed look and good today.
That's good. That's really good, Jonathan F. George and the chat
says very catchy, very nice, very nice, thank you. Hey.
So if you're just joining us, Ricky Mapleton is here with us? And
why is it so the album is called Screamo scream O sports songs. Now
why why scream Oh? Because uh, some listeners might not know what the
term screamo means. It's just a genre of music that I like to pick
on. Yeah, it's a great a true scream Oh. If you look
up scream Oh the stuff some most of it is very angry, sounds like
they need counseling. Yeah, very it's eve set, it's emo, but
with screaming it's it's not people in dorm rooms complaining about breakups. It's more
people that's emo, right, yes, yeah, yeah, that sums it
up. Stream was just more aggressive and I really, you know, being
brought up on Sabbath and Aerosmith and Judas Priest and then hearing the newer stuff
Halter the Bridge or I don't even know what's happening now. The stuff you
were playing is just amazing. Oh okay, but that genre I just love
Metallica. Yeah, yeah, so I wanted to make jump into that genre.
Yes, have it on the Ricky Napleton nameplate, just called Scream of
Sports Songs. Yeah. Yeah, so that's kind of about the concept of
how we ran with this. Now, do you have a Is there a
particular because you said there's thirty five songs, so is there a particular sport
that is represented more than others? Do you have a favorite? I like
pickleball. Soccer chant is really fun. Penalty shot is good. Yeah.
Penalty shot is probably the heaviest of what we got on there. Ok.
It has a totally different feel for some reason. Yeah. Yeah, so
a soccer chant is nice. Yeah, that's about the That's the ones I
sent you. But you can pick and choose. I wouldn't mind here in
a quick soccer chance, I don't that's I don't have that separate ones.
Did you get both? Oh? Maybe not. I sent you two separate
messages. I think soccer chant came over sent them. Oh I found I
think. Then I sent it to him after I think, oh, well,
because I was like, I send it to him too, so that
the two of us, he got four emails. I found it. Yeah,
that one little I was just a little I was in the moment getting
it done over. That one was in a separate email. Okay, yeah,
well yeah, okay, so I found it. Let's let's do a
penalty shot or soccer chant soccer chant. Yeah, let's let's uh, we'll
play that one next. Very curious to hear. Oh yes, by all
means yes, this is what I did today. I made a red card
so I could go red card, yellow card. So these cards are things
that are thrown down in soccer. Right when you do something naughty in soccer,
they give you a yellow card, which means bad boy. If you
get a red card, that means you're out, okay, like out of
the game. You have to leave or I don't know, I don't know
if you're escorted out of the building or but it's bad okay, right card,
you're all done? Yellow card kind of I don't on the edge,
it's okay, don't kick that guy in the head anymore. Yellow card,
you did it again, Red card, you're But there's all sorts of different
there's there's all sorts of different procedures. I believe that they go through that
I don't know anything about. But yeah, I understand there's a whole layer
of this then and the other thing. Okay, but this is what's going
to be playing at the World Cup. The chant. Oh, I thought
you meant the song. That's what's on the song. That is what song.
Here's my soccer ball. Okay, I'm going to give to my dog
after I'm done. I'm gonna say that seems like a small that looks more
like you know, I don't have a big budget. You guys didn't give
me a super big budget to come there, so I when I went,
when I went to the the store, uh huh, you can only get
the quarterball. These are a dollar twenty five versus the five dollar ones.
Yeah. I love you guys, but I'm not for I got thirty five
bucks or stuff in here, because that that soccer ball looks like ok we
gave him too much money. You already five You could fit that in a
belt? Well that was no, it would not fit in the official soccer
ball belt. Okay, okay, I'm ready for soccer chant. All right,

this coach is a hard time to give the key suit the armchair water back

some of my some bass work. Yeah, but he was very George Martin.
Okay for people that there was the Beatles producer, and that's kind of
what he He's a little type a yeah, which I need desperately in my
creative endeavor. Someth really say that horrible dude? Again, good, just
keep things moving along. So this is probably like a three four month project,
working on it probably once a week maybe. Once we got to about
twenty twenty five songs, we kind of let's just do ten more, let's
just go right. But the one of the first ones he did was Pickleball,
and that kind of like inspired us for the whole for the whole project.

long time. Okay, okay, quite some time. Are all the vocals

him vocals. I know where my pocket is yeah that you know it's understood.
Yeah, and I know I'm not a great singer, but if I
