much as you like. Metroplex at nine point fifty, you'll get that now.
Coming up next ten to is Christina and Steve. And Christina and Steve
have done some incredible work, not only in their lives but also in the
last seven days. And I think I'm gonna start with Christina here because then
we got a Christmas vibe. We're gonna do a little gift exchange here.
In a second, Steve did a Christmas song. We'll get to that in
a minute. Christina had a birthday on sixteenth sixteenth, December sixteenth, sweet
sixteen is and this is a song that she created, the thirty fourth b
day song. That's what's labeled in the email she sent me. I've not
heard it yet. I'm excited about this. I heard her working on a
little bit. I'm excited to hear it. Yeah. I always think about
the people who have December birthdays and how that would suck, just in terms
of if you are fortunate enough to get gifts, you know, they go
that. My mother that December twenty ninth her birthday home. It's just a
bummer, you know, when you get a different time of year, it's
all spread out. It's good people forget about you in December. But this
is the Christina Ray thirty fourth birthday song. Live on kg LFM, the
Home of the Dallas Mavericks and Inside Sports Medicine with doctor Teo Sorril. I
wrote a song kind of about my birthday because you know what, when you
turn at the next age, when you turn the page right, you kind
of reflect back on your life and like, man, should should I really
be here at this age? What am I? What am I doing?
And uh anyway, without further ado, i'men to sing this song for you.
Do it another year, older man, I still wouldn't dare calling someone
on the phone, still asking mom for doctor advice? What's a health plan?
And why do I try? Don't get me started on anxiety? Did
I really lock the door? Little? Someone help me? I'm so bad
at adulting? How am I thirty? For? There comes a high part?
Wish me luck? You gots take it up there. Every day there's
something, and I think we all agree that no one has a clue.
I should have savings, even touring the world, look with t Swift has
done? Sorry JJ. Instead, I'm sitting here behind a radio board,
listening to skin say turn that up more fans blue to TikTok, watching word
VIDs. Who could ask for more? Screwbat smart, stuck playing far drops,
listen in to boot talk. Hey, I'm thirty four. Maybe one
summer I can finally pay off college and I won't have so much debt to
bear? But why would I scream? Pen save? The new iPhone is
out and I need those sweet greets. Don't get me wrong, I'm doing
just fine. Look at minnrvan A crew and I get a hug from Mike's
roy every day. His athletic build will blow you away. Here's a real
answer. My life's not a poor I have so much left and more Hendrick
thelaire to greet me and my guitar to soothe me. I'm glad I'm only
thirty for I did. Dude, that was beautiful. Not a singer.
Okay, what a sweet voice she has, man, I think she needs
to hear that, because singing, despite being a great musician, is like
terrifies her. You could tell she was nervous. She's good. If she
had five percent confidence that she was good, yeah, she would nail it.
She her voice is really good, Mary. It's really sweet too.
I don't know if I've heard her attempt to sing like that. It's incredible.
That's funny too. When I'm thirty, what's so endearing? Man?
What was the original song there? When I'm sixty four by the Beatles?
Oh? Okay, okay, Sergeant PEPs. Wow that I thought I wanted
to hear it live on the air. Great, Like the idea of I
should be saving but there's a new iPhone coming. That's true, I should
be saving and I spell whiskey all over my MacBook. Oh no, whiskey.
We'll do the strip mall Steve song, Okay, because I think we
should get to our Christmas gift exchange. Yeah, and this is not even
like the White Elephant Secret sant I want to do the other day, which
is dumb joke gifts. I mean they're probably dumb, and they might be
jokey kind of some of them. But I think these are actual, real
gifts. Like I got y'all real gifts, and I think you guys mostly
did the same, and it's just gonna be nice. There's just niceties live
on the radio. Hell yeah, uh JJ brought us gifts like last week
and well we made her hang on to him until today. And that's partially
why Danny came in today. We're like, dude, come in, we
gotta do some presents. So I think, are these all the same?
Are they all because they all look like the same bag? Well you all,
yeah, one everyone's got the same one item in. There's different things
that I bought for each each of you. Oh what do you guys want
to do? Visually? These have been waiting here at the Yeah, we
need to get these. Yeah, in the office, and also like he
dropped. I told Mikey this earlier. It's the time of giving and receiving.
You know. They say it's better to give than receive, and I
think that's stupid. You could get. I think you could do both.
I got myself something this year. If you turn around, Danny, Yes,
okay, that's what that is. We were wondering what that was.
Weird. He brought a little neon sign that's now plugged in. It just
says clam chowder, and there's a little bowl of colored lines in it and
a spoon. I feel good because I gave it. I hadn't. I
feel good because I received it. You got yourself a gift, A neon
sign that says clam chowder. Is it your mind blown? Yeah? Nothing
says ringing the Yule Tide than a neon sign that says clam chowder. Nice.
Let's see what Jimmy's got us. Oh hell yeah, look at that
the new black pumas oh on Finnyl. Thank you, darling. That is
awesome. I do not have this. We're the hardest one, Danny.

shot glasses, and you know what. I have been in need of a
flask. I left mine in Danny's car twenty five years ago. I got

got? You guess? You know? Yeah? There are gag gifts at
the the Gifted Shade for the whole station last week all right, Kevin,
Hell yeah, do you know what this is? And do you have it?
Okay? I saw this the other day. Uh huh. Looked at
it and said, man, I got a couple other books I'm gonna get
too soon, So you're aware of this. I am aware of this.
What is it? Uh? The book is called Sellout. It's about the
major label feeding frenzy that swept punk, emo, and hardcore from ninety four
to two thousand and seven. And I looked at the bands at this covers
on the back and I'm like, man, most of these are right in
your wheelhouse. Yeah, these are bands that honestly, So I just I
got christina birthday book yesterday and it's oral history of that time period because it's
called Where Your Voice Tonight and it's about though out Boy in My Chemical Romance.
So bands I missed. I don't even really like those bands. They're
like about the Age Your Younger movie. But I'm after reading that book,
I'm fascinated in this era. Yeah, I think music. I think the
general synopsis is you had all of these bands like Blink one eight two,
some of the Other Day, Jawbreaker to the Jimmy World right before they became
as we know them, you know, when they're like Green Day's. I
guess first real major label album Dookie, which had all those hits on it,
like they were legitimate, underground hardcore kind of uh bands that just played
for themselves, and then these major labels discovered them and said, Okay,
you guys can toil away in you know, relative anonymity and be true to
yourselves or follow our path and become what they ended up becoming. And it's
kind of that mindset of the where were these guys were at the time,
Like what do we do? Do we take the money and run? And
some of them, you know have are still doing it and some aren't.
But when Boy and My Chemical Romance get super popular, all those bands who
are in the scene at the time were rolling their eyes at them like they
suck, they're ruining the scene, and they're like, we didn't mean to.
We just happened to get on MTV and now we're popular and everyone likes
us. Yeah. Yeah, it's a fascinating story. And thank you because
I like books. Cool good Mikey appears. I have a book as well,
like books, right, oral history of Dan Marino. Dude, I
want this when you get done. Okay, by the way, but this
thing looks fascinating to me. This I have that. It's great. Really
you read this. It's called this Isn't Happening Radiohead's kid A in the beginning
of the twenty first century by Stephen Hyden, author of Twilight of the Gods.
Wow, Dode, this is perfect. I need something new that I
might not immediately picked out. I don't think of rock books too much.
It's kind of a companion piece to the album kid A when it came out.
You remember Radiohead was kind of like gott Lam based it in a way.
But it's it just shows how far ahead of its time and how relevant
that record is now. And they tie it into a lot of events that
were happening in what is now history. And uh, that book looks really
really smart and really interesting and I cannot wait to read that. This looks
like a couple of days, a few days ready, that's amazing. Thank
you, welcome, You're welcome. You what Let's let's stay on time.
We'll finish a couple more gifts. We'll play the strip Mall Steve song and
a special gift for our audience to end the show today. Next on ninety
