Speaker 1: Incredible Mother's Day for the stars. We'll talk about it
Speaker 1: here in thirty minutes when we go around the sports.
Speaker 1: But right now it's time for this.
Speaker 2: Oh it's ready, it's ready, it's ready.
Speaker 3: Here goes here he.
Speaker 2: Goes everyone ready, Yeah, ready? Oh what there it is?
Speaker 1: That's good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've done this segment in about eleven years, so it's okay.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: But heard or what Daryl Hall from Hall and Oates,
Speaker 2: he's man. Uh he did an interview on something called
Speaker 2: the Broken Record podcast and listen, Oh, broken Record is
Speaker 2: the one that Rick Rubin started. He started, okay, Malcolm Gladwell,
Speaker 2: but they don't host it anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah they yeah, and they started it. Now two guys,
Speaker 1: no one's ever heard of run it.
Speaker 2: Okay, the guy seem pretty knowledgeable.
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen to it's music nerddom. It's a good podcast,
Speaker 1: and this is getting all the music headlines or whatever.
Speaker 1: So I was like, okay, let's go see what this is.
Speaker 1: And I went and listen to it. It's pretty good podcast,
Speaker 1: films all of it, but yep, it's good.
Speaker 3: Like the Doobies, there was a lot there was a
Speaker 3: number of groups like that that they kind of got
Speaker 3: eventually pigeonholed as yacht rock, but really what it was
Speaker 3: was just R and B. Guys, they're just making R
Speaker 3: and B records and they were white, and so this.
Speaker 4: Is something I don't understand. First of all, yacht rock
Speaker 4: was a joke by two jerk offs in California, and
Speaker 4: suddenly it became a genre and I don't even understand it.
Speaker 4: I never understood it, and I totally man, I'm glad
Speaker 4: you say that it's just R and B. It's just
Speaker 4: another with some maybe some jazz in there. It's mellow
Speaker 4: R and B. It's it's it's it's it's smooth R
Speaker 4: and B. Yeah, I don't see what the yacht part is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I'm glad that he's butt heard over this.
Speaker 1: And it's funny because he's right, that's what yacht rock is.
Speaker 1: It's smooth R and B. However, this is really more
Speaker 1: of a conversation around how record labels market stuff and
Speaker 1: how people follow trends. Right, Like, I can tell you
Speaker 1: a number of songs from that era, and some of them.
Speaker 1: On Thursday night, I'm hosting yacht rock music Trivia at Rollertown. Okay,
Speaker 1: you jerk off, you know, and as I was, as
Speaker 1: I was putting together the list of the songs I'm
Speaker 1: gonna play and all that, there's certain things I'm like, man,
Speaker 1: this is just R and B, but I'm including it
Speaker 1: because people associate it with yacht rock. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing is people, hey, this is popular. He is singing
Speaker 1: about binging on a boat. I'm gonna do the same thing.
Speaker 1: There's a bat. Norman Connors is a badass jazz R
Speaker 1: and B artist, and he has an album called You're
Speaker 1: My Starship, and he is standing on a yacht. He's
Speaker 1: a jazz dude and he's standing on a yacht in
Speaker 1: white pant pants with a captain's hat, because that was
Speaker 1: selling music at the time. Like this, it's really more
Speaker 1: about like when you go back and you look at
Speaker 1: something and you ascribe a name to it because it
Speaker 1: has all these connotations that they weren't purposely doing at
Speaker 1: the time.
Speaker 5: But he's right, it's smooth R and B. But I
Speaker 5: think it's a butt hurt response. And he seems perpetually
Speaker 5: butt hurt, like I think that I think of him.
Speaker 5: He's got a sour taste in his mouth, and he's
Speaker 5: butt hurt about something. That's just the way I view
Speaker 5: him from afar. It may not be fair, but it
Speaker 5: just seems like he's always buttered about something. I would assume, like,
Speaker 5: why not just go hey, man, that's a pretty cool thing.
Speaker 5: Honored to be a part of it. Man, whatever he like,
Speaker 5: who cares?
Speaker 2: Do you know?
Speaker 1: And have you guys seen any of you guys probably
Speaker 1: saw the documentary. That's why Michael McDonald is so great.
Speaker 1: Michael McDonald is and he is the face of yacht rock.
Speaker 1: And did y'all see the story where Paul Rudd came
Speaker 1: up to him in an airport? Was like, man, I
Speaker 1: am so sorry about that scene in forty year Old
Speaker 1: Virgin and I hope it didn't offend you. And he goes, man,
Speaker 1: I think it's really funny. And I've got my kids
Speaker 1: making fun of me about it, and I laugh every time.
Speaker 4: I say.
Speaker 1: The best thing that happen for him, Yeah, said, if
Speaker 1: I have to hear this one more time, y'all will
Speaker 1: burn the place down or whatever.
Speaker 5: He says, shoot everyone in the store.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's but Michael McDonald, who is the face of yacht rock,
Speaker 1: has a sense of here.
Speaker 3: He know what he says.
Speaker 1: He says, if it wasn't for that, people wouldn't be
Speaker 1: thinking about me right now. Why take yourself so seriously?
Speaker 5: Yeah that you can't like joke around or look at
Speaker 5: it through a different lens. Like if someone came up
Speaker 5: to me and they're like, man, your rap career sucked
Speaker 5: ask so bad it was yacht rap, I'd be like, awesome,
Speaker 5: that's great, Yeah, I love it. Let's have fun with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And you know the other guy who's perpetually butt hurt
Speaker 1: and always has been Fagan from Steely Dan. He wants
Speaker 1: nothing to do with but.
Speaker 5: That guy's always been an a hole time.
Speaker 2: My guy, John Oates is the real hero here.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yep, there he goes.
Speaker 5: That is your guy. You introduced him, I mean you
Speaker 5: interviewed him right all right. Coming up next in the
Speaker 5: news quickie the new additions to the Video Game Hall
Speaker 5: of Fame and what Shippy had to do with the
Speaker 5: Stars win. That's all coming up in the early four
Speaker 5: o'clock hour. That's next on Eagle
