1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:17,000 And ah rip the normals. Nothing is purn there's no eckers show because we 2 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:23,480 set them more on fire. I figured i'd let you know you could find 3 00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:27,920 me any after glow you like doing. You just come and then go, 4 00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:38,240 But sometimes you stop to say hello, make moments that stay in your soul, 5 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:46,880 a voice that goes and I swear I think it's you singing in the 6 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:53,320 meadow. I always knew that you'd come through for me. I don't have 7 00:00:53,520 --> 00:01:00,759 the key. I did this guarantee if you're living, to just plant a 8 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:11,799 tree, discarding shortly know where use running from that mean you're feeling lately, 9 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:19,079 it doesn't matter at all. You can't say nothing with you. Just leave 10 00:01:19,239 --> 00:01:23,480 it all on the floor, spend all your time on the trip for truth 11 00:01:26,239 --> 00:01:34,719 for life. Now want you say how did you find out the truth? 12 00:01:34,359 --> 00:01:41,719 Where I have to say I don't have to saying, And now want you 13 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:48,159 say how did you and find out the truth? When I don't have to 14 00:01:48,200 --> 00:02:06,239 say, I don't have to say anything. Sometimes we don't get to say 15 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:15,280 goodbye. Words are mostly meaningly. Just enjoy the right. I don't have 16 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:23,159 the key. Our death is guarantee. If you're living, to breathe just 17 00:02:23,319 --> 00:02:32,599 plant a tree, discharling sharp. No use in running from that pain you're 18 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:40,319 feeling lately. It doesn't matter at all. You can't take nothing with you. 19 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:46,439 Just leave it all on the floor.

I don't have to say and anything I don't have to 24 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,400 say. I don't ever say anything. I don't have to say it. 25 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:30,520 Don't ever say anything.

He's from Pennsylvania, one 38 00:05:10,079 --> 00:05:15,040 of the many amazing musicians we've had on the show. I really like him 39 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,959 a lot and he's a lot oh by the way, So we played that 40 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,480 opening song Don't Have a Say in Anything. That is Kenny Truon. I 41 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,439 hope I'm saying his last name correctly. It's t r u h And it 42 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,759 looks like Truon. We'll find out for sure when he's here. But he's 43 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,839 going to be coming up in the third hour today at eleven am, and 44 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,920 he's coming in to play live for us, and we have some studio tracks 45 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,079 and I love that song. It was an easy decision in terms of what 46 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 song I was going to open the show with today because that's a great track, 47 00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:45,680 Don't Have a Say in Anything. I like that a lot. He 48 00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:48,600 sent me a few other songs too, one of them a live performance that 49 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,360 he sent. But so we'll play all of those today and really looking forward 50 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,360 to meeting him. In the third hour. We also we had another guest 51 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,800 scheduled, but he had to reschedule, our friend Ray Coats from across the 52 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,519 Pond. He was going to skype in but apparently he has the flu, 53 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,639 and so he's gonna it was the next week he's joining us. I know, 54 00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:14,879 I know further twenty third, I know. The next couple of Saturdays, 55 00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:17,800 we have really stacked shows, which, yeah, which is fantastic, 56 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,839 but yeah, So today we'll have Kenny Truonan in the third hour. Also 57 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,439 coming up in the at some point in the second hour, we will have 58 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,480 Eric Pilcher's a classic film review, our friend Eric Pilcher. He does a 59 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,879 great job, very popular segment on the show, and I'm especially excited to 60 00:06:34,879 --> 00:06:40,800 share with everyone this week's classic film review from nineteen ninety three, A Bronx 61 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:46,959 Tale, which of course starring and directed by Robert de Niro and Chas Paulmonary 62 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:53,120 isn't it and one of my favorites? Probably I've never stopped to think about 63 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,319 it in terms of making a list. If I were to make a list, 64 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,439 though, of my top ten favorite films of all time. Pretty sure. 65 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,639 I don't know where on the list it would be, but I'm pretty 66 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,959 sure a Bronxstale would be on it. That's a have you seen that? 67 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,879 Have you seen a Bronx Tale? I can't remember, really, I really 68 00:07:08,959 --> 00:07:12,360 can't remember. You probably haven't then, because you'd probably remember if you'd seen 69 00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:15,800 it. It's really good. So this is like, I've never heard you 70 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:20,279 actually put a movie in a high ranking. Yes, I've put many movies 71 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:24,680 in high rankings. I've put some movies and low rankings. It all depends. 72 00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:27,800 Because we were talking about movies when we were coming in, well, 73 00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:30,720 I mentioned it anything. The Fifth Element is one, Oh yeah, the 74 00:07:30,759 --> 00:07:34,040 fifth I've never I've never seen the Fifth Element. See now, I think 75 00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:39,240 you're crazy. It's awesome and you would see what I see in the world 76 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,120 coming coming together. Perhaps something about it never appealed to me. I mean, 77 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,399 I like Bruce Willis, but something about the Fifth Element it just never 78 00:07:46,439 --> 00:07:49,519 appealed to me. It's really good. What what doesn't appeal I don't know 79 00:07:49,759 --> 00:07:54,480 everything. It's action, it's adventure, I don't know. It's got sexy 80 00:07:54,519 --> 00:08:01,839 woman, sexy guy. Uh yeah, I've just never seen it. But 81 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,639 uh, hey, that's you know, that's nothing. Look, Friday nights 82 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,360 we do Retrospect radio with poly c Here and Paul has never seen this is 83 00:08:09,399 --> 00:08:13,519 spinal tap or Purple Rain, which is very odd. I know, I 84 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,519 know it's not it's not acceptable in my opinion, no offense to police, 85 00:08:18,639 --> 00:08:22,519 but it's just unacceptable. He needs to see this. DJ. Yeah, 86 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,600 how do you how do you not? I don't know, I don't know. 87 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,960 You can't be a music person that not sees I know, yeah, 88 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,559 you have to. Yeah, Purple Rain is the Purple God, so like 89 00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:39,879 you have to. Yeah, I was. I've tried to tell him. 90 00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:43,919 I've said, listen, you see Purple Rain. You're going to be astounded 91 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,279 by Prince's acting. An Academy Award winning performance in my view, absolutely should 92 00:08:50,279 --> 00:08:54,960 have been. I'm sort of kidding. He barely he barely. Prince barely 93 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,360 has any dialogue in the film. But I'm not knocking it because I love 94 00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:01,399 Prince and I love the movie. When when I was a kid, my 95 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:07,519 true story, my grandparents took me because they knew that I loved Prince. 96 00:09:07,879 --> 00:09:11,159 So you know, in the summers, I would go spend spend the summer 97 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,159 with family out in uh out in the Midwest, in Chicago, and uh, 98 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,799 she's I don't even know. I was. Well, let me put 99 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:26,320 it this way, I was young enough that my grandparents on my mother's parents, 100 00:09:26,519 --> 00:09:33,279 Uh, they I think I think they had a little bit of regret 101 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,679 when they, especially with a particular scene in that film, because I was, 102 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,799 Uh, I was certainly too young to go to an R rated movie 103 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:50,200 by myself. And I remember my grandmother was not particularly uh, she wasn't 104 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,799 in The Prince. She really liked Morris Stay though she was very taken with 105 00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,440 Morris Stay Morse day in the time. Yeah, but she was she wasn't 106 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,600 that. She wasn't that in the Prince. Prince. Oh, when I 107 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,279 was. When I was a kid, my mom wanted to go see Prints 108 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,440 and her friend was supposed to go with her. And back in the day, 109 00:10:09,799 --> 00:10:15,279 the only way to get tickets to a concert was through Ticketmaster, and 110 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,320 you had to call in on a phone line, which meant running into massive 111 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:22,080 busy signals, or you had to go there in person to buy the tickets. 112 00:10:22,799 --> 00:10:26,960 Now, with these tickets were going on sale first thing in the morning, 113 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,080 I was with my mom on a sidewalk with a whole bunch of people 114 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,679 camped out. We stayed on the sidewalk overnight. My dad thought we were 115 00:10:35,759 --> 00:10:39,000 nuts. My grandmother really thought we were crazy because she lived near the ticket 116 00:10:39,039 --> 00:10:45,720 master and when it was about time that she would be awake, we reached 117 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,879 out to her and she's sent over hot chocolate and animal crackers for us to 118 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,639 know Sean, because we were we didn't think. We didn't bring it much 119 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,240 of anything with us. We were just excited to go do this and we 120 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,399 did it, and we ended up with the tickets and went to and it 121 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,279 was the Paisley Park era m so Sheili was touring with him. Yeah, 122 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,639 and it was an amazing contest concert. But that memory of just getting to 123 00:11:11,639 --> 00:11:16,559 sleep out on the sidewalk waiting for those tickets. There was no online there 124 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,879 was none of them. Yeah, this world didn't exist. You had to 125 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:28,159 go to the ticket master personally or call in and and and unlike today and 126 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,240 electronics, you'd call in. There's only so many lines, so you get 127 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,559 busy singles. So you'd literally sit there and pressed and and there was no 128 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:41,000 digital Okay, we had to press every number with a finger or dial it. 129 00:11:41,039 --> 00:11:45,600 There was No. It seems it seems almost prehistoric, doesn't it. 130 00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:50,639 No cell phones. I remember we call Grandma from a payphone because there was 131 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:54,840 no such thing as a cell phone. Uh yeah, right. The more 132 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,279 I deeper I get into this, the more ancient I feel. Well, 133 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,600 you know what's odd about that. I was thinking about this recently is you 134 00:12:01,639 --> 00:12:05,799 know, obviously, for people who are young enough that they grew up with 135 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,960 the Internet, this all sounds very strange. But I think for a lot 136 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:15,759 of us who are old enough to have grown up without the Internet, it 137 00:12:15,879 --> 00:12:22,159 also sounds very strange because as as you're sitting there describing that, it's even 138 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:28,519 though I vividly remember that time, somehow it's like I feel like we're all 139 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,919 so far removed from it, even though we're old enough to remember that, 140 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,159 because it just sounds so strang It sounds so bizarre, you know, like 141 00:12:37,159 --> 00:12:43,120 like some things from from when I was a kid don't seem that st Like, 142 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,639 yeah, you know, I remember when there were payphones and you know, 143 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,200 phone booths everywhere before everybody had a cell phone and whatnot. It's like, 144 00:12:48,279 --> 00:12:48,879 yeah, that's that's how it was when I was growing up. But 145 00:12:48,919 --> 00:12:52,480 then when you start talking about like buying tickets and having to go to ticket 146 00:12:52,519 --> 00:12:56,759 Master or try to call on the phone. It sounds like a like another 147 00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:00,639 lifetime. Really, it's like like another universe, Like how did how do 148 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,399 it reminds me of that scene? And uh Star Trek is it? Uh 149 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:13,159 Star Trek five when they when they go to find Spock and they, oh, 150 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,159 no, it's where they save the whales and and they they have to 151 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,840 travel back in time to Earth at that point, which was present day in 152 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:26,399 the eighties, and they you know, and and and uh, doctor McCoy 153 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,960 makes that comment of it's amazing these people ever got out of the twentieth century, 154 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,399 you know, because somebody's somebody's buying a newspaper out of a machine and 155 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,320 McCoy just can't believe what he's seeing. But that's how it feels to me, 156 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,519 like like thinking about you know Ticketmaster, and well, I mean Ticketmasters. 157 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,240 You know it's live Nation, it all still exists, but but you 158 00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:48,919 know, having to go there and and try to Oh. Eric Pilcher says, 159 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,840 that's four, okay, Oh, Three is the search for Spot that's 160 00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:56,600 right. Four is when they find him and they save the whales. And 161 00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,240 then five is where they go to Find God, which I think is an 162 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,759 underrated Star Trek film, even though I'm the only one who actually likes Star 163 00:14:01,799 --> 00:14:05,440 Trek five. But that's what that makes me think of. When you're talking 164 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,919 about all that, It's like, wow, that we really did exist in 165 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,799 that time, but I feel like we're all so far removed from it. 166 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,080 We are, I mean, And then to go to the Prince concert, 167 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:24,919 which was at Boston Garden which is now TD Garden. Yeah, you you 168 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,960 couldn't have any kind of cameras on you. If you got caught with a 169 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,720 camera, they'd kick you out. Yeah. You didn't get caught with a 170 00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:33,600 recording device yep, which back then would have been like a tape player, 171 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,559 because you couldn't walk around and record on a disc. People had those. 172 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:43,919 People have those dat recorders yeah, yeah, which actually were for for such 173 00:14:45,039 --> 00:14:48,279 small and seemingly primitive technology by today's standards. The sound quality on those was 174 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,480 actually really good. Yeah, but that was that was you could get. 175 00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:56,519 You could get really good bootleg recordings with those those. That part was easy 176 00:14:56,559 --> 00:14:58,759 because you just keep it in your jacket or whatever. But to sneak in 177 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,399 a ca came, you know, again, before everyone had cell phones. 178 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,200 Uh's actually camera's. Actually, sneaking a camera was much riskier. Yeah, 179 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,639 because they'll take it. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, because they would 180 00:15:09,639 --> 00:15:11,960 take it. Yeah, and they toss you if they caught you taking pictures, 181 00:15:13,279 --> 00:15:16,440 they'd pull you out of the garden and toss you. Yeah, you'd 182 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,639 get in trouble for that. Now it's like, everybody pull your cameras up. 183 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:24,559 Yeah, here we go. Oh yeah, yeah, it's a it 184 00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:28,600 is a really different I like this world better. I really love technology. 185 00:15:30,039 --> 00:15:35,639 Give me more of the Jetsons. It probably seems leaning into it, and 186 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,120 of course, you know, for especially you know, for what I do 187 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:43,519 for work and whatnot, kind of have to, like, I feel a 188 00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,320 certain pressure to keep up with it all because I don't want to be left 189 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,080 behind. But I think for those of us who lean into it, that 190 00:15:48,159 --> 00:15:54,480 probably contributes to why it sounds so primitive, even though even though we are 191 00:15:54,519 --> 00:15:58,000 old enough to have experienced it, it sounds so primitive now thinking back to 192 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,320 uh know, having to go to physically pick up tickets or call ticket master 193 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:06,200 or whatnot and keep a map book in the car. Oh yeah, because 194 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,440 then you'd have to get out the big giant map book and trace the root 195 00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:12,000 so you can figure out how to get there. What a nightmare? There 196 00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:18,240 was, no, but it probably it probably because we lean into the technology. 197 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,159 It is probably why it seems primitive, primitive to us, whereas someone 198 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:29,080 who doesn't, because some people actively resist technology. Oh yeah, and to 199 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,200 those people it probably doesn't seem primitive at all. It just seems like, 200 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,759 oh, a simpler time. I wish we could because there are people, 201 00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,720 I mean, there's people younger than us who I hear talk like that, 202 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,840 Oh I wish we could go back to the way it was, And it's 203 00:16:40,879 --> 00:16:44,200 like, uh, you don't want to go back to the way it was. 204 00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:48,240 The way it was was fine for that time. It's like, why 205 00:16:48,279 --> 00:16:51,480 wouldn't you want things to be bad? Work smart, and not hot? 206 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:55,639 That's my motto. Okay, I mean why wouldn't you want to I like 207 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,600 that I can look at my doctor on my computer screen and have a quick 208 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,440 a point meant and not have to wait all. The earliest we can get 209 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,680 you in is, you know, three weeks from now, instead of something 210 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,400 like that. Oh well, we could slide you into a telehealth boom. 211 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,279 There's my neurologist on my screen. Give me the Jetsons more. I love 212 00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:19,160 it. I'm waiting for myself driving car that can get me anywhere I want 213 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:26,519 to go. Yeah, I think that, uh yeah, technology is something 214 00:17:26,559 --> 00:17:33,759 to be embraced. True. You know, I probably wouldn't be sitting here 215 00:17:33,839 --> 00:17:34,640 doing the show with that. Well, I mean obviously, you know, 216 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,920 radio wouldn't exist at all without some degree of technology. But to be able 217 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,200 to do a show like this and uh, you know, distribute it online 218 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,359 and whatnot, I mean that, you know, pre Internet, that wouldn't 219 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,599 have been We have the world of our fingertips. Yeah, that's something I 220 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,319 used to say to my son all the time growing up. If you had 221 00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:53,079 asked me about something, I would tell them, you know, go look 222 00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:57,279 it up. You have the world's largest encyclopedia at your fingertips. Because I 223 00:17:57,279 --> 00:18:02,039 remember how much I guess I that always stuck with me, because encyclopedia's were 224 00:18:02,079 --> 00:18:04,319 a big deal for me to get my hands on one and to get to 225 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,519 you know, look at the who you know, I get excited. I've 226 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:12,960 got this the Britannica and I've got you know, I don't know whatever the 227 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:17,400 other one was, but it would just be exciting for me to find the 228 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,559 information I needed. Now you can have anything you can have. I'm seeing 229 00:18:22,559 --> 00:18:26,200 different points of view on one topic at just at the click of your fingers. 230 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,680 There's no excuse for not knowing about something if somebody says you should pay 231 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,640 attention to this, and you can go look it up. The worst is, 232 00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:41,640 uh, people who I I kind of I kind of call this old 233 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:47,680 man syndrome. And I only really hear partly because I only really hear men. 234 00:18:48,759 --> 00:18:51,839 I don't I don't think I hear women make this complaint. This seems 235 00:18:51,839 --> 00:18:56,359 to be a male fixation. But when I hear men say, you know, 236 00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,119 oh there's there's there's no good music anymore. You know, I'm I 237 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,880 missed the music when I was when I when I was growing up. And 238 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,000 it's and and but the way that ties into technology, which makes it even 239 00:19:06,039 --> 00:19:10,039 more absurd, you know, aside from the fact that you know, because 240 00:19:10,079 --> 00:19:11,839 there are people who it's like their whole thing is, you know, all 241 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,960 the good music was made stopped being made when I graduated high school or when 242 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,279 I graduated college, and everything after that's terrible. It's like, not not 243 00:19:19,319 --> 00:19:22,720 only are are you missing out by closing yourself off, but it's easier than 244 00:19:22,759 --> 00:19:27,799 ever, because of technology, to get access to any kind of music you 245 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,680 want to hear, there's a whole world of because it was a subject we 246 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,480 discussed recently on the show regarding Spotify and some new Yes, we might even 247 00:19:38,519 --> 00:19:41,119 if we have time, we might even talk about Spotify today. There's some 248 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,359 news there. But you know how they've had to finally make some rules about 249 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,559 you know, what can be uploaded because it's it's getting to a point where 250 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,960 you know, there's just millions and millions and millions of songs being created all 251 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,079 the time, and and you know they have to go somewhere online, and 252 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,200 it's like, uh, you know, not only is it easier to access 253 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,079 anything that you want to hear than it's ever been, but there's so much. 254 00:20:04,559 --> 00:20:07,119 That's why I always credit my dad. You know, my dad, 255 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:12,680 who is in his seventies, he's he loves hearing new music. Even today, 256 00:20:12,759 --> 00:20:15,119 he's still I mean, he's hipper than I am when it comes to 257 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,759 music. Like he knows bands, you know, because he lives on the 258 00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:22,400 I mean, he's not the most technological guy, but he but he likes 259 00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:26,559 accessing music online. But he also lives on the seacoast, so he listens 260 00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,960 to wun H, the Great College station, and here's all kinds of new 261 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,680 stuff that you won't hear on mainstream commercial radio. And so he's but he's 262 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,480 an exception of the rule most people. Jeez. It's like, well, 263 00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:41,920 I think, although I don't think it happens with musicians, but I think 264 00:20:42,079 --> 00:20:45,799 non musicians are much more likely too. It's like they get to like age 265 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,599 thirty, and it's like that's it. I'm only going to like music that 266 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,880 was made up to this point, and anything after this I'm going to not 267 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:59,359 like. And it's like you've got less of an excuse than ever to just 268 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,839 close yoursel elf off that way. Because you have access with the Internet, 269 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,079 you can I mean geez, any genre of music, no matter how obscure 270 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:11,640 you could think of, just google it and you'll find somebody making that kind 271 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,799 of music. Or if you're really stuck on the sounds of whatever it is 272 00:21:15,839 --> 00:21:18,759 you grew up with, I promise you. I promise you, Like, 273 00:21:18,799 --> 00:21:22,160 if you're a classic rock guy. And again I say guy, because you 274 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:26,039 know, I feel like women don't fall into this trap as much. But 275 00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:29,960 if you're a classic rock guy and that's all you want to hear, is 276 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,599 classic rock, you know what. I'm sure you can go online and find 277 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,680 bands, young new bands that are making music, new music that sounds like 278 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:47,000 classic rock very easily. You can find anything, so there's no excuse for 279 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,960 getting stuck in that. And that's one of the great things about technology too, 280 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,359 because every once in a while, and it's the same type of people 281 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,240 that with the old man syndrome, they'll say things like, oh, I 282 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:56,880 liked it. When I was a kid, we used to just go to 283 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:03,000 the record store and flip through or CDs and flip through and find something new 284 00:22:03,079 --> 00:22:06,039 to listen to, and we didn't have all this Spotify and everything, and 285 00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:07,839 it was great. And it's like, yeah, you know what, I 286 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,559 have nice memories of that too, like going to a store and finding stuff, 287 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,000 but I wouldn't trade what we have now to go back to it. 288 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,799 Yeah that was fine. That was fine when I was a kid. Yeah, 289 00:22:17,839 --> 00:22:22,440 those are nice memories. But now today I can find any anything I 290 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,319 can think of that I would want to play on the show. Right now, 291 00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:29,319 I can literally find it in seconds and then play it. It's amazing. 292 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,400 We live in an amazing time and it's so bizarre that some people won't 293 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,400 just embrace it. I mean, you're you're missing out, especially though when 294 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:41,559 it comes to music, you're missing out. If you just close yourself off, 295 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,599 you can hear anything you want to at any times. It's an incredible 296 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,880 time to be alive. It's kind of funny because I'm kind of I've found 297 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:53,759 myself in almost an opposite category. I'm always listening to independent artists because I 298 00:22:53,759 --> 00:22:56,960 get the joy of listening to the artists that we yeah, that we book 299 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,359 and stuff. So I always have that thing going through my playlist on Amazon 300 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:07,640 on whatever, right, And just recently I started listening to some of the 301 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,119 eighties music that I used to listen to as a kid because it just kind 302 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:18,079 of creeped into my playlist. But one of the greatest things about doing what 303 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,839 we do and doing this is getting to hear different genres, different walks of 304 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,200 life. I've seen and heard things I would have never thought of. The 305 00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:32,640 gentleman that came in that was doing looping on a viola that was incredible, 306 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,680 That was incredible. We're surrounded by so much talent and having the ability to 307 00:23:37,799 --> 00:23:41,240 just your fingertips go, oh, I'll try this new thing, or I'll 308 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:47,920 listen to this new person is amazing to me. Yes, I enjoyed flipping 309 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,680 through albums for me my enjoyment, and that was mostly going to a British 310 00:23:52,759 --> 00:23:56,559 store looking for the UK imparts because they always had maybe one different song, 311 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,200 they had different liner notes, or they had different album art and I was 312 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:06,279 into that. But as far as getting to hear music, give me my 313 00:24:06,319 --> 00:24:10,039 computer any day of the week. I can go to any band sites, 314 00:24:10,039 --> 00:24:14,359 I can go to band camp, I can go to just anything and hear 315 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,759 any music I never even thought of or even fathomed in my brain that somebody's 316 00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:26,480 out there performing and you get drawn into that really cool new sound, those 317 00:24:26,559 --> 00:24:30,279 new vocal stylings. There's a lot more. I think there's a lot. 318 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:37,640 The benefit of today's world is that artistically, the globe is our canvas. 319 00:24:38,279 --> 00:24:44,079 It's not limited to your little like we were limited as kids. I was 320 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,200 limited, very limited. We were limited to what we heard on the radio 321 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,680 and what we saw on MTV or you read it in a newspaper. And 322 00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:53,240 if you wanted to and if you wanted to hear stuff outside of the mainstream, 323 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,160 you had to dig a little bit deeper, you know, you had 324 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,319 to listen to maybe you know, if you were in an area where there 325 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,160 was a college radio station, you know, you could listen to college radio 326 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,720 or watch on Sunday nights MTV at a show called one hundred and twenty Minutes, 327 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,720 which was you know, more alternative, you know, before mainstream became 328 00:25:11,759 --> 00:25:15,480 alternative, you know, pregrunge. You know, so you had to dig 329 00:25:15,519 --> 00:25:18,759 a little deeper. But that's no different than now. Like I think now 330 00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,119 there's probably all these people walking around going, oh, I don't like new 331 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,400 music. Yeah I heard a Taylor Swift song and I didn't like it. 332 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,240 And it's like, again, dig a little deeper. If you're only paying 333 00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:32,480 attention to what you're hearing in the mainstream, you know, it takes a 334 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:37,960 minimum amount of effort to just dig a little deeper and you can find whatever 335 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:42,079 it is that appeals to you. That's very true, Yes, very very 336 00:25:42,079 --> 00:25:45,200 true. I mean all we could do was maybe go to a Battle of 337 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:52,000 the bands or some local venue and get a taste of one too maybe, 338 00:25:52,039 --> 00:25:55,599 you know, just that's all you could get, yeah, when we were 339 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,799 younger, But now you can get anything. Yeah, literally anything. There's 340 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:06,039 zero excuse. It's pure laziness is the only excuse for for not being able 341 00:26:06,039 --> 00:26:08,200 to take in the music. Yeah, I mean if you want it, 342 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200 if you want it, that's what I mean. As far as what I 343 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,000 say lazy, I mean yeah, if you really want to hear different things, 344 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,440 you literally just have to go turn on your computer. Yeah, go 345 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,119 to YouTube and hit music and see what flows up.

I originally met him 374 00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:25,119 online because I had posted something regarding our old friend, the original No wait, 375 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,799 I'm the original green host on not even a show. Newer listeners won't 376 00:28:27,839 --> 00:28:32,200 know what this is about. But that's right, he's the stone Green host. 377 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,519 But yes, our old, our old friend Tom Gully, who now 378 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,279 hates me. He he does. He despises me, Tom Gully from the 379 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:45,759 Tom Gully Show. But I have nothing but nothing but love for Tom, 380 00:28:47,039 --> 00:28:51,799 the only person I've ever met that hates you. No, I think there's 381 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,000 probably you know, I said that I've ever met that you've ever met. 382 00:28:56,079 --> 00:28:59,400 Yes, I'm not the world here, right, that's true. I'm sure 383 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:00,039 there are other people. I don't mind. I mean, I you know, 384 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,799 I like having haters. Actually it's kind of fun. But but Tom 385 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,519 is a strange case. Though, he's a very strange case. His whole 386 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:11,519 reason for being so angry with me to begin with was having Jesseps from Pod 387 00:29:11,559 --> 00:29:15,559 Awful on the show. Uh. This was a couple of years ago, 388 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,000 your show, on my show. You know, Jesse had called in and 389 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:22,680 and uh, Tom. Tom was very offended and disapproving of that. And 390 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,720 now their buddies, which is even weirder. They're they're they're they're buds, 391 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:33,640 even weirder weird. They had an eight hour marathon show together. If you 392 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:34,640 want to call it a show, I think it was. It was more 393 00:29:36,039 --> 00:29:41,599 than just being public with their their relationship. Yes, it's definitely interesting. 394 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640 They have a they have a great chemistry. It's interesting, you know, 395 00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:48,279 and uh, Jesse has declared that Tom is now a friend of the show, 396 00:29:48,319 --> 00:29:52,319 officially of pod awful, so you know, and I kind of feel 397 00:29:52,359 --> 00:29:56,000 like I I helped bring them together. Actually, well you did, but 398 00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,880 uh, you know, but Tom is, uh something good come up. 399 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:02,400 But I've tried to call into Tom's show a couple of times and he gets 400 00:30:02,519 --> 00:30:04,400 He's very upset with me. So I went into his chat room once and 401 00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,839 he attacked. I remember that he was. He was very mean to you. 402 00:30:08,119 --> 00:30:11,559 It was very weird. It was very mean. I got a back 403 00:30:11,599 --> 00:30:12,519 up a minute. I have a question for you, because sometime I was 404 00:30:12,559 --> 00:30:18,279 wanting to understand about the Hall and Oates issue. Yeah, is Hall refuse 405 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:26,759 Is Hall refusing to buy or Oates refusing to sell to Hall. It seems 406 00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:30,599 that I don't know if Hall wants to buy Oates's steak in the company. 407 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:36,640 Necessarily he just buyt But the problem is Hall does not want John Oates wants 408 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:41,839 to sell his steak in whole Oates Enterprises to primary Wave right, and which 409 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,759 in fairness, they both sold shares to in the past. But I think 410 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:52,839 Oates selling the primary Wave would give primary Wave a controlling interest in the company. 411 00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:59,279 So why doesn't Hall just buy it? Maybe he's not willing to pay 412 00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:02,240 what primary Wave was paying. Well, maybe that's too bad, too sad 413 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,640 for him. Maybe he's just angry because his accusation is that Oates went behind 414 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:11,359 his back and that it is in their partnership agreement that you can't just go 415 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:18,720 and uh show their their business agreement, their partnership agreement to to a third 416 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:26,000 party without permission and uh right, that's part of what Hall's attorneys are accusing 417 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,720 Oates of doing. Uh. It's it's all very initially in team Hall. 418 00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:37,079 But this this point matters to me greatly because if he's refusing to buy it 419 00:31:37,119 --> 00:31:40,480 for himself, he doesn't have a right to walk into a court and say, 420 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,480 excuse me, I want to I want a restraining order to stop Oats 421 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,960 from being able to sell his portion. If it's Oats going, I'm not 422 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,480 going to sell it to you. I'm gonna like totally, you know, 423 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:59,319 su over and and sell the controlling shares to this company, and they're going 424 00:31:59,359 --> 00:32:04,799 to own what you wrote, what you did, your work. So that 425 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:09,519 matters greatly to me whether or not Hall is refusing to buy or not being 426 00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:14,599 allowed to buy. But Hall also claims in recent years that Oates has been 427 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:19,519 very mean to him, which is shocking to me. That's nothing to do 428 00:32:19,599 --> 00:32:22,599 At the end of the day, we're talking business here, and controlling shares 429 00:32:22,759 --> 00:32:24,440 is nothing to do with anything. Whether you're mean, nice or whatever. 430 00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:30,279 Oates has been a mean man, does it matter, does not matter if 431 00:32:30,319 --> 00:32:35,519 he's been mean or not. In your opinion, that has nothing to do 432 00:32:35,559 --> 00:32:38,319 with the business arrangement. The business arrangement and all the body of work that 433 00:32:38,359 --> 00:32:43,400 they have. See, I'm firmly and I in every instance, I'm going 434 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,240 to side with the artists to control their own creations, certain songs, their 435 00:32:46,279 --> 00:32:52,400 own sounds that should belong to the artists. It's part of the artist as 436 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:58,960 far as I'm concerned. So initially, hearing this story, my instinct is 437 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,960 to say no, of course, we don't want a third party company controlling 438 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,440 all of this wonderful artistic music, you know, decades and decades of work, 439 00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:13,440 instead of the actual artists who did it. But if the actual artist 440 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,039 who did it is refusing to buy it, you can't force the other guy 441 00:33:16,079 --> 00:33:20,920 to stay in the game. Oh it hasn't right to get out. Oh 442 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:22,480 it hasn't right to say, you know what, I'm done. I want 443 00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:27,079 to take my money and go retire, go do my own thing. But 444 00:33:27,359 --> 00:33:31,319 if it's in the partnership agreement that neither can sell without the other's approval, 445 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:37,640 that's a different story. You willingly engaged in that agreements, and it's a 446 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:40,640 contractual obligation. So yeah, you're going to have to go to court if 447 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:45,200 you want to change any part of that because you are bound over by that. 448 00:33:45,599 --> 00:33:49,839 Yes, so again, yes, well just quickly, well look at 449 00:33:50,559 --> 00:33:52,759 these are not now, these are not comments in the chat room, to 450 00:33:52,759 --> 00:33:55,200 be clear, these are comments on the YouTube video. We posted the clip 451 00:33:55,319 --> 00:34:00,559 of us discussing this last week in great depth on YouTube, and if you're 452 00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:04,079 looking for it on YouTube, it's titled Matt Connerton and Jen Coffee discussed Darrell 453 00:34:04,119 --> 00:34:08,719 All versus John Oates fight and legal drama, but just a few comments that 454 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:16,960 people made at what's the fuss for three three to two said quote, I 455 00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:23,599 don't know why I'm saying quote said the following, this is a very sad 456 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:28,239 situation. I hope they can come to some better agreement. Yeah. I'm 457 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,760 fifty five years old and I've been a fan of Hall and Oates ever since 458 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,280 I was like twelve years old. I just wanted to mention when you were 459 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:37,920 talking about a song that would go for selling KFC, I remembered. In 460 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:44,039 November twenty seventeen, Hollan Oates song You Make My Dreams was used in an 461 00:34:44,119 --> 00:34:52,840 Applebee's commercial to sell dinners. Applebee's introduces its tipped steak and twisted potatoes combinations 462 00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:57,119 to the tune of Hall and Oates's classic You Make My Dreams. Diners can 463 00:34:57,199 --> 00:35:02,400 choose their steak topping and tater to or mashed potato side for their own dream 464 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:07,199 worthy meal. I have no memory of that. I don't remember the commercial, 465 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,119 but You Make My Dreams was in the news within the past year or 466 00:35:09,119 --> 00:35:15,440 two years because it topped I think one billion streams on Spotify. Speaking of 467 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:22,400 Spotify, which we were talking about earlier, multi Peter Cool on the YouTube 468 00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,599 video commented, H and O. Fans have known Daryl and John have been 469 00:35:25,599 --> 00:35:30,719 on thin ice for decades. It became obvious by the way they never acknowledged 470 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,360 each other on stage during the nineties. I've lost a lot of respect for 471 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,199 Daryl because of this. If your business partner wants to cash out his shares, 472 00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,559 he's entitled to do so. Your only recourse is to better the offer 473 00:35:42,639 --> 00:35:46,840 John has on the table case closed. I found the commercial. Oh you 474 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,440 did yet I did, and I just sent it to you. Oh okay, 475 00:35:50,519 --> 00:35:52,960 so you'll be able to check that out. All right, Very good, 476 00:35:52,039 --> 00:36:00,320 very good. At Dip Do Dip Do seven seventy five, I apologize 477 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:05,039 I dip to if I didn't say that correctly. It always comes down to 478 00:36:05,199 --> 00:36:09,559 money. It becomes contentious when there is an imbalance in talent and production. 479 00:36:12,199 --> 00:36:15,920 And at Sydney, I'm sorry. At Cindy one O eight five eight said 480 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:21,599 egomaniac, grow up. Now, that's a little cryptic. I don't know 481 00:36:21,639 --> 00:36:27,360 if Cindy one eight five eight is calling Darryl Hall an egomaniac or calling me 482 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,800 an egomaniac. I don't know, but like I said, if you know 483 00:36:30,119 --> 00:36:34,760 she's calling me that, that's fine. It's like I do, think it's 484 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,440 kind of fun to have some haters. Oh no, it wasn't KFC, 485 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:43,760 so I don't know. Oh, it's not KFC. Sapplebee's right. No, 486 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,639 Freedola, Pepsi Cola Beverages. Oh. This is a plot of a 487 00:36:47,679 --> 00:36:52,800 new holiday TV ad from Freedola and Pepsi Co Beverages titled Melt. The Spot, 488 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:58,719 which includes Hollandolds Timeless classic You Would Make My Dreams Come True as it's 489 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,360 soundtracked, is part of a turn of the two brands collaborative Share More Joy 490 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:07,920 campaign. So that's what that was all about. But it does surprise me. 491 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:12,760 I had honestly never know that any of their work was used in a 492 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,400 commercial. Oh yeah, I know. It was jarring the first time I 493 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,519 heard Prince at a commercial because I know that he wouldn't have liked that. 494 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,800 I don't think he would have liked that at all. Yeah, I don't 495 00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,280 know, but yeah, if you don't control your publishing, people can take 496 00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:30,119 your music and do as they You know, whoever owned does control the publishing, 497 00:37:30,159 --> 00:37:34,159 whoever owns it can, which comes back to the root of this, 498 00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:37,760 this this issue, this case. If it's about controlling their own body of 499 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:42,639 creative work, and Oates is refusing to sell the Hall, that's one thing. 500 00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,920 If Hall is refusing to buy it, that's another. Well, I'm 501 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:52,199 sure we'll learn more than the coming days. Also too, speaking of food, 502 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:58,239 that reminds me because it was quite the spread at bonfire the other night, 503 00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:02,199 Wednesday night, the miracle on Elm Street, very successful, very well 504 00:38:02,199 --> 00:38:07,000 attended. I have no idea what any final tallies were, as far as 505 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,280 I heard on the move on the Morning Show that it was around ten thousand 506 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,400 dollars. Well, that's got to be. That's got to be last year. 507 00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,360 Oh it does, I remember here because I was listening to the Morning 508 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:22,159 show. Yeah, it did beat last year. Absolutely. It was amazing, 509 00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:27,159 what an amazing night. I saw so many people. The whole place 510 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,719 was packed and it was ACKed full of people that were there to support the 511 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,599 kids here in Manchester. And I at one point I had taken a picture 512 00:38:35,159 --> 00:38:38,320 around this Christmas tree at the front where people were dropping presents for kids of 513 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:43,039 all ages, and it was like a it was piled, it was deep, 514 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,000 it was my understanding was this, and even it was an even bigger 515 00:38:46,039 --> 00:38:51,920 one at another location. So it looks like it really feels like the city 516 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,760 came out for its own. Yeah. Absolutely, it was excellentency and the 517 00:38:54,800 --> 00:39:01,039 food was amazing. Yes, yes, somebody made oh what are those pastry 518 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:10,320 I love I can't think of the word for it, the deep fried pastryanadasas 519 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:15,880 somebody brought in these empanadas that were amazing, those amazing hot dogs and just 520 00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,679 everything. Yeah. I really enjoyed the pizza. The pizza was really good. 521 00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:22,599 Of course I always enjoy the pizza, this is true. But any 522 00:39:22,639 --> 00:39:25,840 right way to find you what I had to find you is like oneer where 523 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,400 Matt is, oh yes, pizza, but you were right there. But 524 00:39:30,559 --> 00:39:35,119 congratulations too of course Matt Kushane, who always has a great job, and 525 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,480 Peter White obviously also a big part of the miracle on Elm Street. I 526 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:44,000 know Jeff nine is heavily involved in it, and everybody who's involved in it 527 00:39:44,039 --> 00:39:46,400 who I'm not aware of their involvement. Congratulations to everybody. I want to 528 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,960 go shopping with them, very very successful event. Yeah, they get to 529 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,840 go shopping for the kids too, with the money that gets raised, Yeah. 530 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,519 Yeah, and it's really cool. Yeah, I want to get to 531 00:39:55,559 --> 00:40:04,480 go do that. Yeah, absolutely absolutely, also too well mention Thursday night. 532 00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,679 I had to think for a second, this week is a blur. 533 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,039 We were at the hop Knot for a wonderful event there. Now, usually 534 00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:14,400 Thursday nights are very busy at the Hopknot, and this Thursday was no different. 535 00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,320 But usually Thursday night is Trivia Night at the hop Knot, hosted by 536 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:20,119 the great Broderick Lang, and it's a very successful feature there. But I 537 00:40:20,159 --> 00:40:22,280 guess this week Broderick I don't know if he was on vacation or something, 538 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:27,760 so they did something different. So they had drag Bingo and it was very 539 00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,320 cool. We were there and had a wonderful time. Yeah, and I 540 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,039 thought it was a great and it was, and you had I could not 541 00:40:35,199 --> 00:40:38,280 believe that you'd never played bingo before. I had never played bingo before. 542 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:44,000 I went through school and never played bingo. I don't know, Yeah, 543 00:40:44,079 --> 00:40:47,639 we just never played bingo. Is that something that's being done in schools usually. 544 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,880 Yeah. I mean, well when I it was like it was a 545 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,440 bingo game that had to do with education. Oh okay, But like I 546 00:40:54,559 --> 00:41:00,719 just I was just surprised that you'd actually never played a bingo game, not 547 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,719 that I could recall. No, never played bingo in my life. It 548 00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,320 was a lot of fun though. It was a lot of fun well, 549 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:08,559 and it was another first for me. I'd never been to a drag event 550 00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:13,199 either. Yeah, that's true. That was my second drag event. Yeah, 551 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,119 yeah, equally as fun as the first. And the last one was 552 00:41:15,119 --> 00:41:20,880 a drag Bindo too. Yeah. Yeah, a lot of fun to be 553 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,280 have. Absolutely great crowd. It was really busy in there, yeah, 554 00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:28,599 which was awesome. Yeah. And again, where was Matt eating a pretzel 555 00:41:28,679 --> 00:41:32,920 pizza? Yes?

But 691 00:51:37,119 --> 00:51:38,679 when we get an hour number two we should talk about I don't know how 692 00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:42,719 much time we'll we'll spend on it necessarily because we have a few things we 693 00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:46,519 could do, but you are correct.

We had an extensive conversation about it last week, 805 01:02:51,599 --> 01:02:55,239 of course, but the current legal debacle going on between Darryl Hall and 806 01:02:55,480 --> 01:03:00,360 John Oates and seems the whole world is talking about it. But I've been 807 01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:06,239 invited to discuss the issue tomorrow night on Trevor's Happy Hour Trevor's Happy Hour dot 808 01:03:06,239 --> 01:03:08,760 com. They go live at four pm. Apparently they're on the West coast 809 01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:15,039 four pm Pacific, which would be seven pm Eastern time, so tune in 810 01:03:15,039 --> 01:03:16,840 for that. And from what I understand, Trevor's going to post the segment 811 01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:20,960 on YouTube, so if you don't get to hear it live, you'll be 812 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,519 able to you'll be able to watch it later. So I'm very excited about 813 01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:29,880 that. Let's see. Well, speaking of exciting now, Kiss, of 814 01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:34,920 course my favorite band. They just wrapped up the End of the Road tour, 815 01:03:37,039 --> 01:03:40,840 but something happened at the They did two nights at Madison Square Garden in 816 01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:45,079 New York City to finish out the tour the End of the Road, and 817 01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:52,400 at the end of the second show, the digital avatars were unveiled. This 818 01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:58,320 explains that this is from the Verge dot com. Kiss debuts immortal quote unquote 819 01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:03,519 digital avatars and plans to go fully virtual. Says here, Kiss has been 820 01:04:04,239 --> 01:04:09,559 on a really, really long tour. The biggest glam rock band of all 821 01:04:09,599 --> 01:04:14,159 time has been playing it's End of the Road tour for the last four years. 822 01:04:14,239 --> 01:04:17,960 And by the way, part of that is because COVID interrupted and you 823 01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:26,159 know To their credit, Kiss took the pandemic very seriously, not to rehash 824 01:04:26,199 --> 01:04:29,119 that, but not everyone took it as seriously as they should have. But 825 01:04:29,679 --> 01:04:32,679 so you know, the tour was interrupted, obviously, and they just wrapped 826 01:04:32,719 --> 01:04:35,960 up the final show of its final farewell tour in New York City at Madison 827 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:42,679 Square Garden on Friday. Kiss has done several farewell now. See is this 828 01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,639 drives me nuts when I see this and I hear people say this Kiss has 829 01:04:45,679 --> 01:04:48,840 done several farewell tours, but this time might be for good. That is 830 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:53,960 not true. They did a farewell tour in two thousand and one into two 831 01:04:54,039 --> 01:05:00,159 thousand and two of the original lineup of the band, and then they, 832 01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:05,920 like a lot of like many many many artists do, they unretired relatively quickly 833 01:05:06,199 --> 01:05:10,679 with a new lineup. Uh And for the past twenty years, Ace Frehley 834 01:05:10,760 --> 01:05:13,800 and Peter Cris have not been in the band. It's been instead Tommy Thayer 835 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,039 and Eric Singer, along with of course Jean Simmons and Paul Stanley who have 836 01:05:16,119 --> 01:05:20,199 always been in Kiss. And then they announced the end of the road tour. 837 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:25,920 Yeah, it was like four years ago now, but that's that's it. 838 01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:29,519 They've They've done two farewell tours, the the what was actually the farewell 839 01:05:29,559 --> 01:05:32,159 tour of the original lineup, and then this, which is definitely because you 840 01:05:32,199 --> 01:05:35,039 know, Geene Simmons is seventy five years old, He's not going to be 841 01:05:35,119 --> 01:05:39,119 continuing to run around in those uh well he can't run around in them, 842 01:05:39,119 --> 01:05:42,719 but those those big, huge monster boots that he wears. Something happened to 843 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:46,039 Paul Stanley during the tour. They had to cancel a couple of shows in 844 01:05:46,079 --> 01:05:51,079 Canada because he got the flu I think, but yeah, there's you know, 845 01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:53,679 well, you know, I mean they're older now, I mean, 846 01:05:53,679 --> 01:05:56,719 you know, they're in their seventies and you know, things, things go 847 01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,679 wrong, and but you know, it's like this enable them to be young 848 01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,119 forever. Yes, yes, the avatars are younger, it says here. 849 01:06:05,119 --> 01:06:10,119 At the end of the show, after Kiss finished plane its last song, 850 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,320 rock and Roll All Night, they disappeared in a hail of fire and smoke. 851 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,000 After the smoke faded away, the lights went down, and on the 852 01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,880 screen beyond the stage, a camera zoomed across a spooky lake on some fantastic 853 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:26,800 planet toward the silhouettes of four figures. The new digital avatars of Kiss in 854 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,559 what I suppose must be their final form. Then Paul Stanley shouts, Kiss 855 01:06:30,679 --> 01:06:34,239 Army, your love, your power has made us immortal. The new Kiss 856 01:06:34,239 --> 01:06:39,719 era starts. Now, another of holograms. It's like a hol of deck. 857 01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:45,000 Yes, Star Trek brought the light. Yes, let's see another one. 858 01:06:45,119 --> 01:06:48,280 Oh, there's videos online. There's another video, and they're posted in 859 01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,960 the article. Here shows a cooler aspect of this portion of the show, 860 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:58,559 translucent screens with shots of the band projected onto them, leading I'm sorry, 861 01:06:58,679 --> 01:07:04,360 lending the show a decided futuristic blade runner feel the avatars quote performed a song. 862 01:07:04,679 --> 01:07:08,719 Then the video ended and left the audience with a picture of the four 863 01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:15,960 avatars under the stylized Kiss logo, superimposed with the phrase a new era begins. 864 01:07:15,599 --> 01:07:17,960 The new era, of course, is one of making money from the 865 01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:23,719 avatars. The company behind the show, Pophouse Entertainment, has already been doing 866 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:30,000 so with young digital versions of Abba in its Abba Voyage show for over a 867 01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:32,840 year. Kiss a band that has doggedly merchandised the image for half a century. 868 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,760 Yeah, Kiss is the most heavily merchandised band in history. I think 869 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:40,840 the Beatles are the second seems like a good fit for such a partnership. 870 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:45,760 Pophouse said in a press release that it will put on immersive avatar powered concerts 871 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:51,599 using kisses, industrial light, and magic created avatars. Watching big acts like 872 01:07:51,679 --> 01:07:58,280 Kiss use digital recreations of themselves isn't surprising. After all, these are people 873 01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,360 who have made a great deal of money off and image they've created, so 874 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:04,800 why not keep that money faucet open? Do people really want to gooteate a 875 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:10,159 quote unquote live show with no live performers? Yeah, I think they absolutely 876 01:08:10,239 --> 01:08:15,320 do. Bloomberg reported that those Abba avatar shows have been pulling in two million 877 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,960 dollars every week, and Variety wrote last week that the Eras Tour concert video 878 01:08:20,239 --> 01:08:25,279 had passed two hundred and fifty million dollars in worldwide box office sales. Kiss 879 01:08:25,279 --> 01:08:29,119 and its avatars could do just fine. For more about the band's future. 880 01:08:29,159 --> 01:08:31,359 Oh and there's there's a link to the video which there's a twenty two minute 881 01:08:31,399 --> 01:08:35,319 video with an interview that kind of explains it to the Abba. Tickets are 882 01:08:35,319 --> 01:08:39,920 going for a little over one hundred dollars apiece, and according to what I'm 883 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:45,840 reading, the production has been ninety nine percent sold out. Every night for 884 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:49,239 the past fifteen months. Yeah, so this is clearly the market. Yeah. 885 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,880 You know what's interesting is the science about it, how they build this 886 01:08:54,880 --> 01:09:01,039 thing. Yeah, a call. Our friend Mike Doyle is online. Hey 887 01:09:01,079 --> 01:09:06,079 Mike, hey man, how you doing good? How are you very good? 888 01:09:06,119 --> 01:09:11,680 Hey? Jenny, good morning. You sound different in the morning, 889 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,840 I do. Yeah. Your voice, your your voice, your voice is 890 01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,359 deeper. Yeah, I think I think that's I think that's true for many 891 01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:23,960 of us. But yes, you're you'res is obvious. That's my my bird 892 01:09:24,079 --> 01:09:29,840 Land, my Bert Land cast voice. Oh yes, hey, I wanted 893 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,880 to say a couple of things. I wanted to say. Congratulations on your 894 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,039 new time slot. Thank you, thank you. You know, for many 895 01:09:35,159 --> 01:09:40,640 years I always thought your afternoon show two hours wasn't enough. Mm hmm, 896 01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,159 I just did for some reason. You do things and you and you run 897 01:09:44,159 --> 01:09:47,079 out of time, you always use an extra hour. So I think this 898 01:09:47,239 --> 01:09:53,000 new three hour thing might might fall right into your wheelhouse. Yeah, give 899 01:09:53,039 --> 01:09:57,800 you, give you a little more flexibility. And so congratulations on the new 900 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,479 time slot. Is Jenny going to be doing it all the time with you? 901 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:02,199 Yeah, as long as she's willing to keep showing up with me. 902 01:10:02,279 --> 01:10:06,880 On Saturdays, yes, are most of the time. I take chocolate and 903 01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:15,079 flowers to show my age a little bit. I always I was having this 904 01:10:15,159 --> 01:10:20,039 discussion about a week ago about how technology is passing by people who are in 905 01:10:20,079 --> 01:10:25,600 my age group, you know, sixty years older, and just the things 906 01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,119 that are coming up more and more technology wise, and we're just lost, 907 01:10:30,399 --> 01:10:33,840 you know what I mean? Yeah, younger in the mid crowds like you 908 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:40,760 guys get it and we don't. So I think it's quite I think it's 909 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:44,840 do you feel do you feel like a pressure to try to keep up with 910 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:47,079 it? Or do you or do you just kind of say, I mean 911 01:10:47,479 --> 01:10:50,319 from I'm not asking you to speak for everyone in your age group, Mike, 912 01:10:50,399 --> 01:10:55,000 but like from your personal perspective, do you do you try to keep 913 01:10:55,079 --> 01:10:57,760 up with it or or are you just kind of like, you know, 914 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,760 that's okay if some of the technology passes me by, that's all right. 915 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,359 I mean, how do you how do you feel about it personally? Yeah? 916 01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:08,000 I don't. I don't try to dive into it, but I do 917 01:11:08,119 --> 01:11:12,439 want to know about it, and so I use the reference of my thirty 918 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,680 one year old daughter who's a school teacher and knows you know every flip and 919 01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:21,000 number and everything you can dial and yeah, whatever, so I ask her, 920 01:11:21,239 --> 01:11:25,960 you know you cheat a little bit, and yeah, for instance, 921 01:11:26,319 --> 01:11:29,079 for instance, two things this morning you were talking about. I just flipped 922 01:11:29,119 --> 01:11:32,560 on and two things you were talking about. For somebody who doesn't do social 923 01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:38,000 media, I have no idea what hashtag is. Oh, I hear it 924 01:11:38,039 --> 01:11:42,479 all the time, right, I believe it has something. I don't even 925 01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,680 want to try to try to figure out what it is, but maybe you 926 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:48,119 can, maybe you could tell me. I mean it says basically, a 927 01:11:48,119 --> 01:11:53,960 hashtag is when you put the number sign in front of something so that it's 928 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,560 it's kind of highlights it. Yeah, yeah, it highlights it. So 929 01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,039 when you see when you see that hashtag, you know that number sign before 930 01:12:00,119 --> 01:12:04,199 something, you know that that what whatever is related, whatever piece of content 931 01:12:04,279 --> 01:12:08,840 is related to that hashtag, has something to do with that specific subject. 932 01:12:10,800 --> 01:12:15,600 In theory, somebody you know, you're all going to say on that same 933 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:21,159 subject kind of thing. If somebody searches that particular hashtag, then in dairy 934 01:12:21,279 --> 01:12:26,840 you pop up right, I gotcha. Yeah, And that and that leads 935 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,439 me into the avatar, which you were just talking about. And I'm going 936 01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:34,760 what the hell is for real? Right, Yeah, it's wild. Yeah, 937 01:12:34,880 --> 01:12:39,000 no, I understand it is. I've heard of it. And is 938 01:12:39,039 --> 01:12:44,319 it the same as a little while back there was a couple of I think 939 01:12:44,319 --> 01:12:46,600 it was Lady Gaga and and uh oh, I know what you're thinking, 940 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:53,960 And who is it that's the the holographic images that they bring up this the 941 01:12:54,039 --> 01:13:00,319 thing with them passed away. Oh yeah, yeah, that's civil it's similar, 942 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:06,479 but I think it's I think it's different in some perspectives because when I 943 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:11,760 was watching videos on how they do this, I was watching videos a kiss 944 01:13:12,359 --> 01:13:16,199 doing the work. They had to actually wear special suits and helmets that have 945 01:13:16,279 --> 01:13:23,439 electronic markers on them that get filmed while they're playing their instruments and moving around, 946 01:13:24,159 --> 01:13:29,680 so those movements can get pulled into the computer program. Yeah, it's 947 01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,359 kind of similar, I think to the technology they use for video games. 948 01:13:32,399 --> 01:13:38,000 When you have, like say a video game that's based on wrestling, you 949 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,000 know, they have the wrestlers actually go and when they're creating the video game, 950 01:13:43,199 --> 01:13:46,239 you know, they have to put on all this equipment and then they 951 01:13:46,239 --> 01:13:49,880 go and perform the wrestling moves and they film them for the video game with 952 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:55,560 the performer wearing all this stuff and it's yeah, the technology is interesting, 953 01:13:55,600 --> 01:14:00,560 but yeah, what Jenny was referring to those video of Kiss basically performing concert 954 01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,399 in this studio where there they've got all this equipment on and and they're being 955 01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:10,600 filmed, uh for and then I guess that performance is then transferred to the 956 01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,840 avatars. And it's all a bit beyond me. You can google it and 957 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,119 actually find some images, the images of Abba wearing these suits as well doing 958 01:14:19,159 --> 01:14:24,479 their thing to get turned into these avatars. But they're using younger versions of 959 01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:28,199 themselves for the imagery, like they get to pick their best self from their 960 01:14:28,199 --> 01:14:32,199 careers. Yea, and it looks amazing, lady. I think it was 961 01:14:32,239 --> 01:14:35,720 with one of the old crooners. I know that was which one, you 962 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:40,600 know? I think it was one of the one of the old rat pack 963 01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:44,439 or something. Well, she did h that was real. She did something 964 01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,640 with Tony Bennett. But that was real. He was actually yeah, no, 965 01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:51,000 that was really Tony Bennett. Yeah, that was yeah. A couple 966 01:14:51,039 --> 01:14:56,079 of years before he passed. Yeah, sadly he had suffered from dementia. 967 01:14:56,239 --> 01:15:00,680 However, the one thing he never lost was his music. And if you 968 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:03,239 put him near a piano or whatever he would want to sing, he would 969 01:15:03,319 --> 01:15:06,359 he would get and he would just light up. So when they did that 970 01:15:06,399 --> 01:15:11,600 with him, it was amazing because you know, he just lit up. 971 01:15:11,920 --> 01:15:15,159 But that was very, very real. Yeah. Yeah, So my last 972 01:15:15,239 --> 01:15:24,079 question is is this avatar thing going to ruin live music, live live concerts 973 01:15:24,159 --> 01:15:26,520 kind of thing? You know what I mean? Are people going to get 974 01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,319 lazy and say, let's just do an avatar of our band and we'll be 975 01:15:29,359 --> 01:15:31,960 immortalized forever and then we don't have to go on Because people are always going 976 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,439 to want to meet their heroes, right, They're always going to want to 977 01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:40,079 see their heroes in person. Concerts are those opportunities to be as close to 978 01:15:40,119 --> 01:15:43,880 that star that you can get, you know, So I don't think that 979 01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:47,720 would ever go away. Yeah, but the possibility of them walking by you, 980 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:53,199 Yeah, I agree. There's nothing that will ever truly replace the the 981 01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:58,279 truly live experience of musicians playing live. So, I mean, I think 982 01:15:58,279 --> 01:16:00,720 it's a valid concern that you bring up. I think it's a very valid 983 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,359 concern, But I'm optimistic about that. I don't think it'll ever Uh, 984 01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:09,279 I think it enhances things overall. I don't think it'll ever actually replace the 985 01:16:09,319 --> 01:16:13,880 live experience. I certainly hope not talk about a really insane way to preserve 986 01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:17,520 the music, right, I mean that's yeah, yeah, it'd be great. 987 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,840 Well listen, hey, congratulations on your new time slot. I think 988 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:27,439 the extra hour is going to do you a whole lot of good because and 989 01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,840 uh, you're good at what you guys do anyway, So oh, thank 990 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,520 you, congratulations, and happy holidays to you, and we'll talk to you 991 01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:38,039 soon, all right, Mike, happy holidays too. Thank you for the 992 01:16:38,039 --> 01:16:41,520 call. I appreciate it. I will see you all right, by bye. 993 01:16:42,159 --> 01:16:44,600 All right. That was our friend Mike Doyle, And uh, yeah, 994 01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,359 his voice really is deeper in the morning. It's funny, and that's 995 01:16:47,359 --> 01:16:49,399 true of a lot of people. You know, when we first wake up, 996 01:16:49,439 --> 01:16:53,800 we sound our voices are naturally deeper. But it's it's funny when it 997 01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,640 when it's that our vocal course, when it's that obvious. I wonder if 998 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,159 I even I wonder if my voice is I don't know if my voice is 999 01:17:01,159 --> 01:17:05,239 deeper in the morning or not. I've actually never really like I'm used to 1000 01:17:05,279 --> 01:17:08,560 hearing my own voice, so I don't know, you know what I mean, 1001 01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,199 voice too, yes, yeah, so I don't know. If I 1002 01:17:13,239 --> 01:17:15,560 don't know if my voice is deeper in the morning or not, it don't. 1003 01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:18,880 Probably it probably is, I don't know. Bruce from a Legion of 1004 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,960 Solace in the chat says, with the rise of virtual meet and greets, 1005 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:28,159 I could see digital avatar shows potentially affecting, uh, the the gate of 1006 01:17:28,199 --> 01:17:30,760 our live show. They really meet and greets are being done virtually. Mike 1007 01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:33,600 makes a valid point. I think he's kidding about that. But if that 1008 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,640 starts, if that were to happen, where you meet an avatar and you 1009 01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:42,359 pretend it's I mean, there's a lot of suspension of disbelief required to do 1010 01:17:42,399 --> 01:17:45,359 that, to meet an avatar and pretend you're meeting the actual person. But 1011 01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,840 now if it gets to that point, then we are in trouble. We're 1012 01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:55,880 really talking fifth element right that world. I want that. I like that. 1013 01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,079 Well, No, I don't want the death or anything. No, 1014 01:17:58,119 --> 01:18:00,600 it's technology. I want the technology. If you'd like to join us, 1015 01:18:00,600 --> 01:18:04,119 if you have any thoughts on this six o three two five six seven six 1016 01:18:04,359 --> 01:18:10,079 three two five six seven. But yeah, Jenny and I were talking on 1017 01:18:10,079 --> 01:18:13,279 the way over this morning about years ago. It must have been at least 1018 01:18:13,319 --> 01:18:16,600 a decade ago now, maybe maybe twelve years maybe I don't remember when exactly 1019 01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:19,760 it happened, but it was a big deal at the time, and and 1020 01:18:20,039 --> 01:18:24,279 there was some controversy around it just in terms of is it really right to 1021 01:18:24,319 --> 01:18:27,640 be doing this. I believe it was. Uh, And there might be 1022 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:30,680 an earlier example that I'm forgetting, but this is the first time I remember 1023 01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,800 being really conscious of this was when they had the they had effectively an avatar 1024 01:18:34,319 --> 01:18:40,840 or some sort of a digital version of Tupac performing it. I believe it 1025 01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,880 was at Coachella Holographic Tupac. Yeah, and I remember at the time that 1026 01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:48,039 sparked a lot of conversation about, well, this is cool and it's surprisingly 1027 01:18:48,119 --> 01:18:54,399 realistic, but is this really okay? It actually it raised some some issues 1028 01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:59,680 about, you know, is it ethically should you even be doing this because 1029 01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:02,000 it's you know, and I don't have any problem with it. I thought 1030 01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:06,239 it was cool, but I remember being surprised and again, imagine how far 1031 01:19:06,279 --> 01:19:10,199 the technology has come. Now. Well you can see it, in fact, 1032 01:19:10,239 --> 01:19:13,640 if you watch these videos from the show the other night, from when 1033 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:15,319 the Kiss avatars were unveiled, then of course you can go online and see 1034 01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:18,760 videos of the Abba Show, which yeah, I mean it especially the technology 1035 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:26,600 is amazing and according to this Kiss actually has experimented with VR concerts. Yeah 1036 01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,520 that it couldn't have gone over well because I don't remember ever hearing about it. 1037 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:34,279 No, you know what they did do, and and I missed them 1038 01:19:34,359 --> 01:19:38,359 on this tour, so I never got to experience it. But when they 1039 01:19:38,359 --> 01:19:42,720 did the Psycho Circus tour in ninety nine, they did a three D thing 1040 01:19:43,079 --> 01:19:48,159 where they had they had three D screens and behind the stage, over the 1041 01:19:48,199 --> 01:19:53,560 stage, and then they gave out three D glasses as they're going in. 1042 01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:58,640 So but I don't know why, but for some reason I missed that tour. 1043 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,560 I must have been super busy when they were in the area. And 1044 01:20:01,279 --> 01:20:05,760 and uh, but the reviews weren't great. It didn't go over that well. 1045 01:20:05,800 --> 01:20:11,479 Plus I guess there was a problem to where you know, uh, 1046 01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:14,840 I don't know that they'd run out of three D glasses to give out or 1047 01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,000 something, but I just remember people were kind of like, yeah, it's 1048 01:20:17,359 --> 01:20:21,439 this whole three D experiment, it's not really working for for this. Uh. 1049 01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:24,520 You know, it's not like when you go and sit in a movie 1050 01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:29,199 theater. It's it's it's not really working, Okay, Bruce says. The 1051 01:20:29,319 --> 01:20:32,279 virtual meet and greet is a face to face meeting, like you're doing a 1052 01:20:32,279 --> 01:20:35,399 skype call or a face chat. You get to speak with the celebrity or 1053 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:39,359 the artists for a few minutes. They sign a couple of things for you 1054 01:20:39,439 --> 01:20:44,159 on camera. Oh I gotcha, Okay, that are eventually mailed to you. 1055 01:20:45,079 --> 01:20:47,600 They started doing them during the pandemic, and they found a market and 1056 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,560 continued post pandemic. So it's like, it's like, it's like, what 1057 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:56,880 do you call that. George Santos just turned up on it. What's it 1058 01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,960 called? Well, that's, uh, that's a cameo cammy you can So 1059 01:21:00,039 --> 01:21:04,000 it's like a cameo thing. Yeah, sort of. But but but they're 1060 01:21:04,039 --> 01:21:06,359 signing things and their mail to you. Okay, so it's me. They 1061 01:21:06,359 --> 01:21:11,239 don't necessarily talk to you, so it's not where you're meeting. So it's 1062 01:21:11,279 --> 01:21:15,039 not you're like you're you're not meeting the avatar. You're it's just online, 1063 01:21:15,199 --> 01:21:19,760 right Okay, yeah, okay, no, that makes sense. Yeah, 1064 01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:24,039 yeah, that's that's kind of weird to me. By the way, So 1065 01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:30,359 a couple of people have asked me, and I'm gonna I'm saying I'm gonna 1066 01:21:30,359 --> 01:21:33,159 say something here that might surprise people, because people have been asking me, 1067 01:21:33,159 --> 01:21:35,720 people who know that Kiss is my favorite band, how I how I feel 1068 01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:40,479 about this? And am I excited about this? Or am I you know? 1069 01:21:41,359 --> 01:21:44,119 Obviously? Uh, you know, you've got a wide range of Kiss 1070 01:21:44,159 --> 01:21:46,439 fans with different feelings about things, you know. I mean, hell, 1071 01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,199 there there's still Kiss fans and you can run into them online if you go 1072 01:21:50,279 --> 01:21:53,960 looking for them. Who depending on you know, if you go into these 1073 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:57,079 different Facebook groups and whatnot. Who are I mean, there's some Kiss fans 1074 01:21:57,079 --> 01:22:00,840 who are still mad about you know, about about Kiss existing without you know 1075 01:22:01,159 --> 01:22:06,920 it, being Ason Peter in the band. I mean they're literally even in 1076 01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:11,399 the year twenty twenty three, there are people who've never accepted any Kiss lineup 1077 01:22:11,399 --> 01:22:15,079 except the original Kiss lineup curious and that's fine. I'm not knocking them. 1078 01:22:15,119 --> 01:22:17,159 I mean, it's, you know, whatever kisses to you. You know, 1079 01:22:17,199 --> 01:22:20,760 it's art, it's subjective, and you know, personally, I enjoy 1080 01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,840 all eras of the band and all lineups of the band. But a couple 1081 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:26,720 of people have asked me, how do I feel about this? Am I 1082 01:22:26,760 --> 01:22:29,319 excited about it? Do I think it's cool. Do I think it's lame? 1083 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,600 And the thing that might surprise some people, given that Kiss is my 1084 01:22:32,600 --> 01:22:36,359 favorite band and has been since I was a kid, and I'm sure always 1085 01:22:36,359 --> 01:22:44,720 will be, most likely, I'm kind of indifferent. I'm don't get me 1086 01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,399 wrong, I'm curious anything that they do. I'm curious about because they are 1087 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:53,319 my favorite band, but I'm not I don't have any particular strong feelings about 1088 01:22:53,319 --> 01:22:57,439 this, and I think part of it is I mean, don't get me 1089 01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,600 wrong, if I had an opportunity to go, you know, when this 1090 01:23:00,720 --> 01:23:03,960 new show with the avatars rolls out and whatnot, it'd probably be interesting to 1091 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:10,600 see it. But I'm but I'm kind of indifferent to it all. And 1092 01:23:10,680 --> 01:23:16,359 I think I think part of that has to do with the fact that when 1093 01:23:16,399 --> 01:23:21,439 I first became a Kiss fan. I've told this story on the air, 1094 01:23:21,960 --> 01:23:26,640 they were a couple of years out of the makeup because remember Kiss went for 1095 01:23:26,720 --> 01:23:30,920 thirteen years, Kiss was no makeup. They took the makeup off in eighty 1096 01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:36,439 three and they didn't put it back on until ninety six when they reunited the 1097 01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:42,119 original lineup and did the reunion tour. So I became a fan during the 1098 01:23:42,159 --> 01:23:46,119 non makeup era, and I've told the story it was. It would have 1099 01:23:46,159 --> 01:23:53,680 been nineteen eighty five. I'm watching MTV after school one day and the video 1100 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:58,600 for Tears Are Falling was on. And I had liked Kiss before that, 1101 01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,880 but I really liked that song and I thought the video was cool. It's 1102 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,119 a little cringe in terms of what they're wearing, but I liked the video. 1103 01:24:06,039 --> 01:24:13,239 And I'm watching and my dad comes home from work that day and the 1104 01:24:13,319 --> 01:24:15,079 video's on and he kind of pokes his head in the living room and he's 1105 01:24:15,119 --> 01:24:16,920 like, Maddy, who is that? Who does this song? Is that 1106 01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,119 Kiss? And I said yeah, And he said to me, He's like, 1107 01:24:20,359 --> 01:24:24,000 I really like this song and I said, yeah, me too. 1108 01:24:24,039 --> 01:24:28,239 It's like my favorite song right now. So he made a mental note of 1109 01:24:28,239 --> 01:24:31,800 that, apparently, because then at this would have been a probably around October. 1110 01:24:34,039 --> 01:24:43,199 In my Christmas stocking was that album Asylum, and I listened to it 1111 01:24:43,239 --> 01:24:45,680 and it became and I just fell in love with Kiss, like that was 1112 01:24:46,039 --> 01:24:48,279 it. They were my favorite band from that point on. But it was 1113 01:24:48,319 --> 01:24:57,520 during the non makeup era, so I don't have the attachment to the makeup 1114 01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:00,840 and the costumes and everything that part of it. Aren't they wearing the makeup 1115 01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:03,800 though in the avatars they're wearing them. Oh yeah, well that's the thing 1116 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:06,520 that's that's kind of part of why. Well, yeah, it'd be weird 1117 01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:11,479 for them not to, but they have today's cruise, but it's not the 1118 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,039 old people. But it's just but it's just that, you know, like, 1119 01:25:15,119 --> 01:25:19,600 to me as a fan, I've never had that attachment to those images 1120 01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:27,640 that people who either started being a fan back during the original you know time 1121 01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:30,880 when they were in makeup or it's funny. I have this vague memory from 1122 01:25:30,880 --> 01:25:33,960 my childhood of going to a friend's house who was really in the Kiss before 1123 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:38,119 I was, when they were still in makeup and seeing the posters on the 1124 01:25:38,159 --> 01:25:41,680 wall of them in makeup and everything and it, but it didn't connect with 1125 01:25:41,760 --> 01:25:45,439 me at that point. So to me, the reason that I'm a Kiss 1126 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,600 fan first and foremost, and this part I think is true of most Kiss 1127 01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:55,840 fans, it's because of the music, but it's really just that. And 1128 01:25:56,119 --> 01:26:00,279 I loved going to see them on tour during the non makeup era, you 1129 01:26:00,279 --> 01:26:05,920 know, I because I didn't need you know, always very during that thirteen 1130 01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:12,399 year span, always very energetic live shows, always sounded really great. The 1131 01:26:12,399 --> 01:26:15,920 lineups they had when they didn't have Ason Peter and the band were very solid, 1132 01:26:15,039 --> 01:26:18,439 live, really good players, and just it was always a great experience. 1133 01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:24,439 So I never I never had that connection to the makeup and the costumes. 1134 01:26:25,319 --> 01:26:29,479 So to me, it's kind of like, eh, Like when they 1135 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,880 put the makeup back on in ninety six and they reunited the original lineup, 1136 01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:36,960 I was kind of like, Eh, yeah, this is cool and everything, 1137 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:42,680 but I really liked the direction they were going anyway. But I also 1138 01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:46,159 understood at the time, I fully understood that for every one Kiss fan that 1139 01:26:46,199 --> 01:26:49,720 felt about it the way I did who had some ambivalence about them going back 1140 01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:54,359 to the original lineup and putting the makeup back on, there were probably twenty 1141 01:26:54,399 --> 01:26:58,680 fans who were really excited about, Oh, they're finally doing the reunion and 1142 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:00,720 they're finally going to put the makeup back on. You know what I mean, 1143 01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:05,600 I do. I this is a new an incredibly cool way to be 1144 01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:10,079 able to preserve music and the artists. You know, in the past, 1145 01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:14,760 we had still images you know you've got which we try to digitize better, 1146 01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:17,720 or music you're trying to fix. Now we get to preserve icons, and 1147 01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:21,720 I think that's marvelous. I really do. I think this. I don't 1148 01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:25,680 think it's bad at all that they're doing this Avatar. No, I don't 1149 01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,680 either. I think it's a great way to hit Their music will always be 1150 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:33,279 able to be shown introduced to somebody new. I don't know. I don't 1151 01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:39,079 I see more tech coming into concerts, Yeah, not less so I think 1152 01:27:39,119 --> 01:27:41,319 people need to kind of get used to the fact there's going to be some 1153 01:27:41,399 --> 01:27:44,439 tech there. But I think this is this is a great way for them 1154 01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:48,159 to walk away physically. Yeah, why they still can No, And I 1155 01:27:48,159 --> 01:27:50,560 think it's cool. Just just to be clear with everyone, I'm not I'm 1156 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:54,159 not opposed to it at all. I mean there's there's some Kiss fans who 1157 01:27:54,159 --> 01:27:56,760 are who are negative about it, who are like, you know, and 1158 01:27:56,800 --> 01:28:00,720 of course, I mean if you go online and you interact with you're gonna 1159 01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:03,760 find a wide range of opinions on any subject related to the band. So 1160 01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,159 there's a lot of people who are very excited. There are some people who 1161 01:28:06,159 --> 01:28:09,800 are kind of like there are some people who are mad about it, some 1162 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:12,600 fans who are like, no, they should have just that that was the 1163 01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,600 final show of the tour. That should be it to time to retire and 1164 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,079 we'll always have the music and that should be it, you know. But 1165 01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:21,600 no, I think it's cool. I just don't have any But I think 1166 01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:27,760 because I don't have any strong connection to the makeup and the costumes, seeing 1167 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,800 the avatars is not. I think that's where the disconnect is for me and 1168 01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:34,199 why again, I'm not opposed to it, but I'm not excited about it 1169 01:28:34,239 --> 01:28:39,359 either. I'm kind of I'm kind of indifferent. I would be excited if 1170 01:28:39,399 --> 01:28:42,800 they put out a new album. That would be exciting to me because it 1171 01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:45,439 would be new music from my favorite band. I don't think that, you 1172 01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:47,039 know what I mean. I don't think it's gonna happen. I think the 1173 01:28:48,279 --> 01:28:53,680 exactly Yeah, Bruce from Legion of Solace is asking in the chat room. 1174 01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:59,159 Makeup went back on just after their MTV Unplugged correct shortly after. So what 1175 01:28:59,239 --> 01:29:04,479 happened is when they did MTV Unplugged in ninety five, which I think is 1176 01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:09,239 like the second or third highest rated unplugged. I think number one is Nirvana, 1177 01:29:09,319 --> 01:29:13,800 but I'm not positive. But when they did the MTV Unplugged, it 1178 01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,000 was the lineup at that time for most of it, and then they had 1179 01:29:17,039 --> 01:29:20,439 Ason Peter come out. It was the first time Paul and Jean had played 1180 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:24,920 with Ason Peter in over a decade. Ason Peter came out and they and 1181 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:29,079 then the original four did two songs, and then Bruce and Eric came back 1182 01:29:29,119 --> 01:29:32,720 out, and then the six of them the only time in Kistory that you've 1183 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:36,199 had six Kiss members playing together. But the six of them also all did 1184 01:29:36,239 --> 01:29:42,119 two songs together. But that led to As and Peter being a part of 1185 01:29:42,159 --> 01:29:47,079 that led to gradually eventually in ninety six, there were a lot of negotiations 1186 01:29:47,079 --> 01:29:51,680 that had to go on, but that led to opening the door to those 1187 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:56,159 guys coming back into the band and doing the reunion tour. So yeah, 1188 01:29:56,159 --> 01:30:00,960 Interestingly, Gene Simmons had to be talked into it. Paul was very gung 1189 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:04,680 ho about doing the reunion tour, but Jean was the one who kind of 1190 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:08,720 felt like, I don't know, I like the direction we're going now, 1191 01:30:09,079 --> 01:30:12,560 do we really want Ason Peter back? Things are a lot easier without them 1192 01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:17,279 around, you know. And Paul Stanley had to talk him into it, 1193 01:30:17,720 --> 01:30:21,399 which is the same thing that happened when they took the makeup off in eighty 1194 01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:26,039 three. Same thing Jeane didn't want to take the makeup off. Jean was 1195 01:30:26,079 --> 01:30:28,920 like, I've got this character. I'm the demon, that's all I know 1196 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,680 how to be, you know. And Paul Stanley was the one who had 1197 01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:34,560 to talk him into it and say, Gene, the makeup is played out. 1198 01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:38,479 We have nowhere else to go if we want to, you know, 1199 01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:40,920 get this thing, you know, really moving again and get back to the 1200 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:43,239 level of success that we were at a couple of years ago. We need 1201 01:30:43,279 --> 01:30:48,199 to make a big change. And it worked. But but yeah, so 1202 01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:53,119 you know, the avatars and everything. Yeah, it's cool, and you 1203 01:30:53,159 --> 01:30:55,960 know, again I'm not opposed to it, but oh I'm not that excited 1204 01:30:55,960 --> 01:31:00,119 about it either. Funny that Jean was kidding around about how Paul Stanley is 1205 01:31:00,199 --> 01:31:03,960 gonna jump higher than he ever has before. Oh, and that because it 1206 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:08,439 won't hurt that st at least just jumps up. Yeah, I won't hurt 1207 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:12,199 either. He's Yeah, I believe Paul Stanley's had both his hips replaced, 1208 01:31:12,359 --> 01:31:15,079 is it? Wow, Well, it doesn't surprise me. I mean, 1209 01:31:15,119 --> 01:31:18,079 these guys have been walking around of these giant platform boots, have you, 1210 01:31:18,079 --> 01:31:23,520 you know, jumping around on the stage for decades. Yeah, I'm betting 1211 01:31:23,560 --> 01:31:27,920 their knees or shot their hips are shot. It's all shot. Oh, 1212 01:31:27,920 --> 01:31:32,560 Bruce from Legion of Sola says, in two thousand he met Bruce Culick out 1213 01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:36,000 a guitar clinic. Great guy. Yeah, see, Bruce is my my 1214 01:31:36,159 --> 01:31:41,159 favorite guitar player from Kiss who never wore the makeup. He was there only 1215 01:31:41,239 --> 01:31:45,960 during the non makeup era. But he's he's my favorite guitar player from the 1216 01:31:45,960 --> 01:31:48,479 band. I love, love, huge Bruce Culick fan, and I'm not 1217 01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:51,680 surprised that he was a great guy to meet in person, because, uh 1218 01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:58,520 yeah, Bruce is h He's got a great reputation, really really good guy. 1219 01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:01,039 All Right, my friends, Well, well we're going to move on. 1220 01:32:01,960 --> 01:32:04,520 We're going to Oh, Melanie La Liberty in the chat room says, 1221 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:12,640 I feel like Bruce's serious comments balance out the the heckling bs. Oh Bruce 1222 01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:15,159 from Legion of Solace his serious comments. I don't mind the heckling. It's 1223 01:32:15,199 --> 01:32:18,720 fun. Oh. Hello to Greg Joseph, who joins us in the Facebook 1224 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:24,880 live chat. We're going to get to Eric Pilcher's a classic film review. 1225 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,960 It's about that time, and this week the subject is the film A Bronx 1226 01:32:30,039 --> 01:32:34,239 Tale. Personal favorite of mine and uh, and then we'll show some love 1227 01:32:34,279 --> 01:32:38,520 to our amazing sponsors. And then when we come back for the third hour, 1228 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:42,000 we've got a great musical guest coming up. Kenny Troon will be joining 1229 01:32:42,039 --> 01:32:45,399 us live in studio, and I think he will have his guitar with him 1230 01:32:45,439 --> 01:32:48,840 and that's gonna be a lot of fun. We've also been featuring some of 1231 01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:59,439 his studio tracks. But let's see without further ado. Except I was foolish 1232 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,720 and didn't have this loaded up there. It is Bronx tail review. All 1233 01:33:02,760 --> 01:33:06,960 right here it is you're still getting used to Saturday mornings, all right here. 1234 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:12,199 It is a Bronx Tale. Eric Pilcher's classic film review. Check it 1235 01:33:12,199 --> 01:33:14,680 out. This is really good. I think Eric just gets better and better 1236 01:33:14,720 --> 01:33:16,319 with these, this one. I really really like this one. Of course 1237 01:33:16,319 --> 01:33:21,239 I'm biased because it's one of my favorite movies. Here it is all right 1238 01:33:21,279 --> 01:33:59,279 now, I got to know nice and time to four. This is the 1239 01:33:59,319 --> 01:34:04,000 futom section of the Bronx. My Home a world into itself. You could 1240 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,119 get Teddy Bong fifteen minutes from here, but they might as well be three 1241 01:34:08,199 --> 01:34:14,920 thousand miles away. That's Mount Homeo Church and the sound of the bells would 1242 01:34:14,960 --> 01:34:28,720 fill the neighborhood on the streets, the swell. It was nineteen sixty and 1243 01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:33,600 Duop was just sound on the streets standing. It felt like there was a 1244 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:44,239 duop group on every corner back then. What the time it was. The 1245 01:34:44,279 --> 01:34:46,840 New York Yankees were playing in the Pittsburgh Pirates in the World Series, and 1246 01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:50,399 Mickey Mantle was like a god to me. My dad would take me to 1247 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:58,039 Yankee Stadium and we would watch the Yankees win. That's the shape Bipy. 1248 01:34:58,680 --> 01:35:00,760 That's where the guys hung out. But I'll tell you about them later. 1249 01:35:05,359 --> 01:35:11,239 That's my building. I live right there on the third floor six six eighty 1250 01:35:11,279 --> 01:35:20,239 seventh Street. There's my stoop. And on warm summer nights, all through 1251 01:35:20,279 --> 01:35:25,079 the neighborhood you would hear the sounds of young Italian men were man sing their 1252 01:35:25,079 --> 01:35:30,720 women all right, ma, right, gotten a car? No getting a 1253 01:35:30,840 --> 01:35:33,439 car? Leave me alone? Come on, baby, you know I love 1254 01:35:33,520 --> 01:35:48,119 it. Where you getting a car? And right there, right there under 1255 01:35:48,119 --> 01:35:50,920 that lamp post, Dan stood the man, the number one man in the 1256 01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:57,680 neighborhood, Sonny. Everybody loves Sonny and they treated him like a god. 1257 01:35:58,840 --> 01:36:03,760 And in my neighborhood he and I would sit on my stoop and watch them 1258 01:36:03,880 --> 01:36:08,720 all day and all night, but he would never even look at me, 1259 01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:16,000 never until one day. If one were to think of the countless movies that 1260 01:36:16,039 --> 01:36:21,079 have taken place in the Bronx, there would be many great films that come 1261 01:36:21,119 --> 01:36:29,560 to mind. However, this week's film, sadly is often forgotten in that 1262 01:36:29,800 --> 01:36:36,000 upper tier of films about the great city. Despite having the known area in 1263 01:36:36,079 --> 01:36:44,239 its title, and even though it can be overlooked, it has carved itself 1264 01:36:44,520 --> 01:36:51,199 a nice little legacy even over thirty years after its initial release. This week's 1265 01:36:51,239 --> 01:36:59,880 film is the directorial debut of screen legend and my personal favorite actor of all 1266 01:37:00,119 --> 01:37:08,000 time, Robert de Niro. Adapted from the autobiographical One Man's Stage play starring 1267 01:37:08,159 --> 01:37:14,199 in written by Chaz Paul Monterry, A Bronx Tale, released in nineteen ninety 1268 01:37:14,239 --> 01:37:18,479 three, presents us the story of Claire Duo, a young man that, 1269 01:37:18,600 --> 01:37:25,439 over the period of ten years, finds himself torn between a life in organized 1270 01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:31,600 crime when he is befronted by local mob boss Sonny played by Paul Monterry and 1271 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:40,399 his honest, hard working bus driver father Lorenzo played by De Niro. Our 1272 01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:45,840 next clip will tell us how this film came to be. Two years ago, 1273 01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:51,560 De Niro, Paul and Terry Tommy Mottola were on The Today Show before 1274 01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:59,159 the premiere of the Broadway musical adaptation of this film. Paulmnary and De Niro 1275 01:37:59,399 --> 01:38:04,439 speak on what led to the film being made and the uniqueness of the deal 1276 01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:12,520 broker between the two to get it made the right way. Check out this 1277 01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:16,159 crew Oscar nominee Chas Palmonary, Oscar winner Robert De Niro, Tony winner Jerry's 1278 01:38:16,159 --> 01:38:20,239 Ax and legendary music mogul Tommy Mattola. They all share a love for the 1279 01:38:20,279 --> 01:38:25,000 Bronx Tail. This is a one man show. Staring was a one man 1280 01:38:25,119 --> 01:38:30,600 show starring Chaz Palm Andary back in the eighties. Robert made his directorial debut 1281 01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:34,399 and appeared in the nineteen ninety three movie version. Now, nearly twenty five 1282 01:38:34,479 --> 01:38:39,880 years later, they've turned a Bronx Tail into a Broadway musical. Chaz wrote 1283 01:38:39,880 --> 01:38:44,279 the book, Robert and Jerry codirect Tommy is lead producer. Wow, guys, 1284 01:38:44,279 --> 01:38:45,920 good morning, Nice to see you take this the right way. This 1285 01:38:46,000 --> 01:38:53,199 is like a murderer's row producing and directing talent here. This is your story 1286 01:38:53,399 --> 01:38:56,720 right. I saw him at a basketball game not long ago. We walked 1287 01:38:56,760 --> 01:38:59,319 up talk to each other. When we brought this show up, you got 1288 01:38:59,319 --> 01:39:02,039 a smile on your face like I have never seen before. Why does it 1289 01:39:02,079 --> 01:39:04,680 mean so much to you? Well, you know it's my life story, 1290 01:39:04,720 --> 01:39:06,960 you know, growing up in the Bronx. You know, I witnessed this 1291 01:39:08,039 --> 01:39:10,600 murder when I was a kid. My father, Lorenzo, was a bus 1292 01:39:10,640 --> 01:39:14,960 driver. He played saxophone, you know, and he always wanted to play, 1293 01:39:15,239 --> 01:39:16,960 you know, be a saxophone player. Which I didn't bring it up 1294 01:39:16,960 --> 01:39:19,319 in the movie The Other One Man Show, but I was able to do 1295 01:39:19,399 --> 01:39:24,239 it in this musical. Bob saw me do it in the twenty five almost 1296 01:39:24,239 --> 01:39:27,239 twenty eight years ago, and he said this should be a movie, and 1297 01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:30,439 Bob made it happen as a movie. The way the story goes, you're 1298 01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:32,600 told, after one night doing that One Man Show, that he's in the 1299 01:39:32,640 --> 01:39:35,359 house and in your dressing room and wants to talk to you. Yes, 1300 01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:40,000 what do you remember about that meeting? No, I had been hearing about 1301 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,479 the show and so on, and I said I want to go see it, 1302 01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:45,760 and that's how it then one. I mean, it had been running 1303 01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,079 for a while a couple of months or so, I went and so cheed. 1304 01:39:48,159 --> 01:39:50,439 He said, we talk blah blah blah. Next thing, you know, 1305 01:39:51,199 --> 01:39:54,680 you say, he changed your life. And I want to mention there 1306 01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:59,600 were other offers you had gotten to buy the story. Why was his offer 1307 01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:02,600 the right offer at that time? Well, because what Bob said was well, 1308 01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,119 first of all, Bob was the one who said, you should play 1309 01:40:05,119 --> 01:40:09,039 Sonny and you'll write the screenplay because it'll be honest. He was the one 1310 01:40:09,039 --> 01:40:12,479 who gave me that opportunity. Everybody else wanted it, but they didn't want 1311 01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:15,039 me. They wanted to put a star in the row. But Bob let 1312 01:40:15,079 --> 01:40:18,520 that happen, and he let me write Mike the screenplay and really, I 1313 01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:21,279 mean and he looked at me and said, if you do it with me, 1314 01:40:21,359 --> 01:40:25,079 I'll make it right. I'll never forget those words. And he said, 1315 01:40:25,079 --> 01:40:27,399 shake my hand, and that's the way it'll be. That was the 1316 01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:33,800 deal right there. Oftentimes, in gangster films there is this poll of good 1317 01:40:34,279 --> 01:40:43,039 versus evil. Many times our primary character falls into the pitfalls of a life 1318 01:40:43,199 --> 01:40:49,079 in organized crime. However, in this film, Sonny doesn't want this life 1319 01:40:49,319 --> 01:40:56,800 for Claire Duro In a way, Lorenzo and Sonny want the same thing for 1320 01:40:56,920 --> 01:41:00,680 the young man, but they cannot see it through their different standings in the 1321 01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:08,319 community. Our next two clips are examples of this. First, when Lorenzo 1322 01:41:08,439 --> 01:41:14,520 finds out his young son has earned over six hundred dollars working at Sonny's bar 1323 01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:20,680 and shooting craps, he angrily confronts the mobster. Then, in the second 1324 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:28,439 clip, Sonny schools the teenage Colla Juo or c as he is known as, 1325 01:41:29,039 --> 01:41:33,960 on life and Herkening back to the ending of our previous clip, Sonny 1326 01:41:34,119 --> 01:41:47,319 answers if it is better to be loved or feared? Yeah, I think 1327 01:42:00,319 --> 01:42:02,720 we can't accept that. I didn't give you. I give you your son. 1328 01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:04,880 He worked, That's right, my son, and I don't want my 1329 01:42:04,880 --> 01:42:08,520 son involved in what goes on here. Love. No, what what are 1330 01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:11,119 you talking about? Please? I'm not a stupid man. Okay, Please, 1331 01:42:11,319 --> 01:42:13,880 I'm not stupid. You know what I'm talking about. Just stay away 1332 01:42:13,880 --> 01:42:15,840 from my son. Okay, Hey, you stay right over here. Seat. 1333 01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:17,520 Why don't you go outside? I want to talk to your father. 1334 01:42:17,680 --> 01:42:24,880 I'll speak to my own son. Gout you a wait outside. First of 1335 01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:26,920 all, I respectul the rent. So you're a stand up guy, well, 1336 01:42:26,920 --> 01:42:29,560 from the same neighborhood. But don't ever talk to me like that again. 1337 01:42:30,359 --> 01:42:31,039 I tell your son to go to school, to go to car. 1338 01:42:31,199 --> 01:42:33,720 Understand, it's not what you say, it's what he sees. It's the 1339 01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:38,079 clothes, it's the cars, it's the money, it's everything. He tried 1340 01:42:38,119 --> 01:42:40,640 to throw away his baseball cards the other day because he said, Mickey Man 1341 01:42:40,640 --> 01:42:45,439 will never pay my rent. He said that deal, kid, that's not 1342 01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,520 funny. Not funny when your nine year old kid has a bigger bank account 1343 01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:49,760 than you do. I offered you a job, but you said a note 1344 01:42:49,800 --> 01:42:51,800 to me. That's right, And I say no. Now, just leave 1345 01:42:51,840 --> 01:42:56,479 my son alone. Please. Hey, don't you see how I treat that 1346 01:42:56,520 --> 01:42:58,720 kid. I treat that kid like he's my son. Yeah, your son, 1347 01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:01,439 he's my son. He's he's my son. I'm not afraid of you. 1348 01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:03,359 You should. I know you are, Sonny. I know what you're 1349 01:43:03,399 --> 01:43:05,399 capable of, and I would never step out of the line. You could 1350 01:43:05,399 --> 01:43:08,840 ask anybody in this neighbor who knows me. But this time you're wrong. 1351 01:43:08,920 --> 01:43:11,560 You don't fool the man's family. This is my son, not yours. 1352 01:43:11,560 --> 01:43:15,159 What are you stay away from myself? I give you a slock. Just 1353 01:43:15,239 --> 01:43:21,439 stay away from my stay away. Where's my money? What? How could 1354 01:43:21,439 --> 01:43:25,119 you do that? Dad? He was my money. That's bad money. 1355 01:43:25,119 --> 01:43:28,279 I don't want you to have that money. I said, I want you 1356 01:43:28,359 --> 01:43:31,119 to stay away from him. I said, you stay away from him. 1357 01:43:32,359 --> 01:43:35,319 Did you hear what I said? You stay away from him? Said? 1358 01:43:35,359 --> 01:43:39,520 He was right? The look communitis a sucker. Ye, he's a sucker. 1359 01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:41,960 He's wrong. It don't take much strength to pull a trigger. But 1360 01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:44,319 try and get up every morning, day after day, and work for a 1361 01:43:44,359 --> 01:43:45,520 living. Let's see him try that. Then, well, she was the 1362 01:43:45,560 --> 01:43:48,479 real tough guy. The working man is the tough guy. Your father is 1363 01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:53,560 the tough guy. Everybody loves him. You think everybody loves you in the 1364 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,439 bus to say thing, No, it's not the same. People don't love 1365 01:43:56,520 --> 01:44:06,640 him, they fear him. There's the difference. And now Sunny imparts a 1366 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:14,079 lesson on Claire Derow somemot sky Lou dumps Olvia. You know he goes me 1367 01:44:14,119 --> 01:44:16,119 twenty dollars. It's been two weeks now and every time he sees me keeps 1368 01:44:16,119 --> 01:44:19,800 dodging me. He's becoming a real pain in the ash. I mean, 1369 01:44:19,840 --> 01:44:24,760 should I crack him on a one somebody, what about been telling me? 1370 01:44:25,199 --> 01:44:28,800 Sometimes hurting somebody at the answer. First of all, is he a good 1371 01:44:28,800 --> 01:44:30,479 friend of us? Yeah? I don't even like him. You don't even 1372 01:44:30,560 --> 01:44:33,640 like him? Does your answer right? Then look at it this way. 1373 01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:36,279 Of course, you're twenty dollars to get rid of it. Right, He's 1374 01:44:36,279 --> 01:44:40,279 never gonna bother you again, he's never gonna ask you for money. Event 1375 01:44:40,840 --> 01:44:43,159 he's out of your life. For twenty dollars, you gotta have cheap forget 1376 01:44:43,199 --> 01:44:45,640 it. You're always right, You're always right. Yeah, I'm always right. 1377 01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:48,359 I was always right. I wouldn't have done ten years in the giant. 1378 01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:53,000 What did you do every day? Sony? Three? Things you've been 1379 01:44:53,000 --> 01:44:56,880 doing a giant kidden, lift weights, play cards and get into trouble? 1380 01:44:57,039 --> 01:45:01,880 What did you do than? I read? What did you read? Every 1381 01:45:01,880 --> 01:45:06,159 here? Machiavelli. Oh, Machiavelli. It's a famous writer from five hundred 1382 01:45:06,239 --> 01:45:12,199 years ago. Availability. That's what he always said. Availability. That's right. 1383 01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:15,199 Listen to me. I can live anywhere I want to. You know 1384 01:45:15,199 --> 01:45:19,359 why I live in this neighborhood. Availability. I want to stay close to 1385 01:45:19,399 --> 01:45:25,279 everything because being on the spot, I can see trouble immediately. Trouble is 1386 01:45:25,359 --> 01:45:27,880 like a cancer. You gotta get it early. If you don't get it 1387 01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:30,439 early, it gets too big, then it kills you. That's why you 1388 01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:35,279 gotta cut it out right. Come on, you worried about Louie dumps. 1389 01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:42,359 Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Worry about yourself, your family, the people 1390 01:45:42,359 --> 01:45:45,960 that are important to you. That's what it comes down to. Availability. 1391 01:45:46,920 --> 01:45:49,239 The people in this neighbor that see me every day, that are on my 1392 01:45:49,359 --> 01:45:55,039 side, they feel safe because they know I'm close, and it gives them 1393 01:45:55,039 --> 01:45:58,119 more reason to love me. But the people that want to do otherwise, 1394 01:45:58,800 --> 01:46:02,279 they think twice because they know I'm close, and that gives them more reason 1395 01:46:02,319 --> 01:46:08,199 to fear me. Is it better to be loved or feared? That's a 1396 01:46:08,199 --> 01:46:12,680 good question. It's nice to be both, but it's very difficult. But 1397 01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:17,600 if I had my choice, I would rather be feared. Fear lasts longer 1398 01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:23,000 than love. Friendships that are bought. Would money mean nothing? You see 1399 01:46:23,119 --> 01:46:26,039 what is around here? I make a joke. Everybody laughs. I know 1400 01:46:26,119 --> 01:46:30,159 I'm funny, but I'm not that funny. It's fear that keeps them loyal 1401 01:46:30,199 --> 01:46:32,840 to me. But the trick is not to be hated. That's why I 1402 01:46:32,880 --> 01:46:35,079 treat my men good, but not too good. I give them too much, 1403 01:46:35,119 --> 01:46:39,199 then they don't need me. I give them just enough where they need 1404 01:46:39,239 --> 01:46:43,439 me, but they don't hate me. Don't forget what I'm telling you. 1405 01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:50,279 This film builds up to one of the most heartbreaking climaxes one can see in 1406 01:46:50,359 --> 01:46:58,439 a quote unquote gangster film. Sonny is murdered by the man that Claire Dureau 1407 01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:03,439 as a young man with miss to him. Murder sees unwillingness to identify Sonny 1408 01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:11,479 as the shooter starts the friendship slash mentorship between the two. In our final 1409 01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:18,800 brief clip, Lorenzo in c finally put their differences aside, and Lorenzo admits 1410 01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:27,279 to Sonny, laying in his open casket, why he disliked the mentorship that 1411 01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:36,079 Sonny gave to his son. What are you doing here? I came to 1412 01:47:36,079 --> 01:47:43,439 pay my respects to your friend. Are you okay? Yeah? And I'm 1413 01:47:43,439 --> 01:47:58,680 sorry if I've urged one anyway, It's okay. Everything's gonna be okay, 1414 01:48:00,079 --> 01:48:06,399 Sonny. I want to thank you for saving my kid's life. I never 1415 01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:11,920 hated you. I guess it's that I was just mad at you because you 1416 01:48:12,079 --> 01:48:18,920 made him grow up so fast. My God, have mercy on your soul. 1417 01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:34,479 The way over here, Sonny, did you hear that my father didn't 1418 01:48:34,479 --> 01:48:48,800 hate you? Nobody cares you were wrong about that one. What is the 1419 01:48:48,960 --> 01:49:08,880 talent she around? Sonny? Let's go home seeing Some of you may be 1420 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:14,720 asking, wondering, or even be upset that I spoiled the ending of this 1421 01:49:14,920 --> 01:49:21,319 film. I feel comfortable doing so because knowing the ending doesn't diminish this film's 1422 01:49:21,359 --> 01:49:29,279 impact or how great it is. That's because this film transcends its ending. 1423 01:49:30,079 --> 01:49:38,279 The powerhouse performances from pulmonarian de Niro, the accurately depicted and at times uncomfortable 1424 01:49:38,479 --> 01:49:45,159 showing of racial tensions in the Bronx, and a story that we all can 1425 01:49:45,199 --> 01:49:49,199 relate to. The mentor that made us into who we are is what this 1426 01:49:49,239 --> 01:49:55,239 film is truly about. I dare any of you to watch this film and 1427 01:49:55,319 --> 01:50:00,159 state that knowing the ending made this film any less enjoyable, because I believe 1428 01:50:00,239 --> 01:50:06,560 this film is much better and greater than a simple ending. I hope you 1429 01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:13,079 join me when we will look at the crowning achievement of director Ridley Scott's career 1430 01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:20,239 and our first sand in Sandals, Roman epic film covered on classic film reviews. 1431 01:50:20,840 --> 01:50:27,560 The film is the two thousand release Gladiator for W. M. N 1432 01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:31,199 H and Matt Connorton. Unleashed. This has been a classic film review with 1433 01:50:31,920 --> 01:50:51,159 Eric Pilcher on the street of the Row, standing on the corner, seeing 1434 01:50:51,520 --> 01:50:59,439 good come on.
