Speaker 1: Coming up later in the show. I'm very interested in
Speaker 1: Kat has the ABCS of Rock. It's trust me, it's
Speaker 1: going to be a lot of fun stick around for that.
Speaker 1: It's an interactive game that you can play at home
Speaker 1: with us as well. Now, there's a lot of different
Speaker 1: celebrities out there that deliver amazing audio. They always have
Speaker 1: something fun and interesting to say, and we can listen
Speaker 1: to it and then kind of spin it off into
Speaker 1: a million different topics, and Kat, you have that right now.
Speaker 1: With one of the greatest actor musicians, Jack Black.
Speaker 2: He was on the podcast with Amy Poehler and I
Speaker 2: was telling Christina about this Sunday at BFD and then
Speaker 2: I was like, she was like, WHOA, that's interesting if
Speaker 2: someone else jumped into the conversation too, And then I
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, we'll bring this to the show later
Speaker 2: in the week.
Speaker 3: She's kind of asking him how he spends his free time.
Speaker 4: Well, when you're not working and when you want to
Speaker 4: just like peace out and chill.
Speaker 3: Out, where do you go?
Speaker 4: One thing I realized I stopped listening to music. I
Speaker 4: was only listening to podcasts and audio books. And I
Speaker 4: was like, but I get music back in my Life's
Speaker 4: stat and so I did this thing called chrono marathons,
Speaker 4: where you pick a band that you love and you
Speaker 4: go chronologically through their whole catalog. It's a great way
Speaker 4: to get the nooks and crannies, and there's probably some
Speaker 4: bonus tracks that you never listened to listen to all
Speaker 4: of it, even songs, because then you find these. It's
Speaker 4: just an interesting way to hear music. I had never
Speaker 4: done it before, and I swear, I swear by it.
Speaker 1: Who have you done well?
Speaker 4: It's gonna sound boring, Pink Floyd. I did the Rolling Stones,
Speaker 4: I did the Beatles, I did led Zeppelin, all these
Speaker 4: great musicians and people that you're like, I bet you
Speaker 4: there's some songs that I've never even heard that they
Speaker 4: wrote me you go in complete order. I've heard all
Speaker 4: of them now and I like to do a little
Speaker 4: star on the ones that are my extra specials. And
Speaker 4: the most fun part is going, oh this album is
Speaker 4: when they hit their stride and you go, they got
Speaker 4: this window here. There's usually like a four or five
Speaker 4: year window where their bet went down.
Speaker 3: Why why then?
Speaker 4: And it's also like, oh, yeah, I love this band
Speaker 4: in this window. Nineteen seventy eight, Steely Dan you know.
Speaker 4: But anyway, Oh, I love that.
Speaker 3: That's amazing. I can never think about him is awome.
Speaker 3: I totally agree.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: I was sitting there listening to that thinking about a
Speaker 1: lot of different things at once. One is just the
Speaker 1: way that he presents himself, I agree, you know. Uh,
Speaker 1: And part of it is I love when someone's passion
Speaker 1: for something comes through and how they're talking about it,
Speaker 1: Like you can tell he genuinely cares about what he's
Speaker 1: talking about. And you know, that's why he kind of
Speaker 1: goes off in these weird little funny things, you know,
Speaker 1: because he's kind of caught up in the thing. So
Speaker 1: he's on, right, and he's on a podcast. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: and he's supposed to be on, But I just think
Speaker 1: he's a dude that's on and he really cares about things.
Speaker 1: And uh, that concept, the what he called it, a
Speaker 1: marathon chrono marathons. For a nerd like me, that concept
Speaker 1: is super badass because I very much care what I
Speaker 1: would deem spheres of influence, and like when things happen
Speaker 1: in time and what happens after it. It may not
Speaker 1: matter as much now because of the way technology is,
Speaker 1: but you know, really genres of music which we're on
Speaker 1: a rock station, right, We're on a specific kind of
Speaker 1: rock station. But even genres of music happen because of
Speaker 1: a combination of technology that talented people suddenly have their
Speaker 1: hands on, and then the sphere of influence and how
Speaker 1: it influences other people. Like there's a real famous line
Speaker 1: about the first Velvet Underground album. Velvet Underground probably are
Speaker 1: given credit for having created quote unquote alternative rock, whatever
Speaker 1: that term would mean to somebody, But the line is,
Speaker 1: only one hundred people bought the first Velvet Underground album,
Speaker 1: but every single one of them went on to start
Speaker 1: a band. Right now, That's what we're talking about with
Speaker 1: spheres of influence, Like you create this thing and then
Speaker 1: think about you kt and like your interest in writing
Speaker 1: comedy and stuff, like there was something that happened in
Speaker 1: your timeline that sparked you, and then you you're the
Speaker 1: guy that goes and does all the research and reads
Speaker 1: about it and stuff that you weren't even alive for
Speaker 1: when it happened, but it matters because of that chrono
Speaker 1: marathon idea of what led to something else. Well, it's
Speaker 1: like I showed that to my wife and she goes,
Speaker 1: oh my god, you already do that, Yes, I do.
Speaker 2: Like we like the Rolling Stone thing that you did. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but like even like we had a concert come up.
Speaker 2: I did it with the Black Keys a little bit.
Speaker 2: It didn't go all the way through, but I started
Speaker 2: at the beginning. It was kind of just kind of
Speaker 2: bugging through their songs.
Speaker 3: The evolution.
Speaker 2: When we went and saw LCD sound System, you know,
Speaker 2: a month ago, Yeah, I went and listened to all
Speaker 2: five of the records, Yeah, in order to do it
Speaker 2: in order.
Speaker 3: Yes. Cool.
Speaker 2: And I kind of like to do that when I'm
Speaker 2: going to see a band I haven't seen in a
Speaker 2: long time. Yeah, But it's something that's fun to do.
Speaker 2: And sometimes the seasons there's just like certain bands like
Speaker 2: in the Fall that just kind of remind me of that,
Speaker 2: and I'm like, Okay, I'm listening to that record right now.
Speaker 5: So I used to do that when I as a kid,
Speaker 5: like in your high school years, when you discover a band,
Speaker 5: you're like, I like this song, what else do they have?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 5: And I remember that's why I loved Blinwire so much,
Speaker 5: because I would get all kinds of things. But I
Speaker 5: do feel bad. It's like Jack Black said, I'm like, man,
Speaker 5: before we before I listened to that Black Keys album
Speaker 5: on our way up to Chalk Dogs, Like when was
Speaker 5: the last time I actually listened to a full album
Speaker 5: all the way through? I haven't done that in a
Speaker 5: long time. And you forget how happy it makes you,
Speaker 5: And like he said, you forget all of these smaller
Speaker 5: songs that weren't hits by these huge bands, Like when
Speaker 5: was the last time I listened to Zeppelin's Hot Dog?
Speaker 3: It exists?
Speaker 5: I just never listened to it.
Speaker 1: There's just so much to consume. But then there's those
Speaker 1: things that really matter to you that you go back. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got in my living room, I've got this old
Speaker 1: refurbished turntable, and I got a badass rocking chair.
Speaker 3: And so when I do want to do that like unwind,
Speaker 3: I will.
Speaker 1: Put on records and I'll sit my Scotch or whatever
Speaker 1: and just sit there and listen to records.
Speaker 3: And it just evens me out. I mean, you guys
Speaker 3: know me.
Speaker 1: I can't turn my brain off, but it at least
Speaker 1: puts my brain in a place where it's not rapid
Speaker 1: fire just banging off the wall.
Speaker 3: Right, It can just even me out.
Speaker 1: But I do sit there and think about Is there
Speaker 1: a band that you guys got into late? In other words,
Speaker 1: you know they they already. The one I can think
Speaker 1: of for me is Radiohead, because I didn't get into
Speaker 1: Radiohead until Okay Computer, and I was actually I think
Speaker 1: Okay Computer probably been out for about a year or
Speaker 1: so when I discovered it, or nine months, and then
Speaker 1: I was like, I can't believe how much I like this.
Speaker 1: I've always known this band, uh, but I never paid
Speaker 1: attention to them, so then, you know, I kind of
Speaker 1: got to pick up halfway through their thing. But I
Speaker 1: did go back and I listened to their first record.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, yeah, it's terrible. They have literally,
Speaker 1: depending on how you feel about Creep, two songs on
Speaker 1: that album that are worth it.
Speaker 3: Pablo Honey to the Bends is great. Fun of me
Speaker 3: for this a lot.
Speaker 2: My favorite band, though, I got into ten years after
Speaker 2: they'd been gun and their window was very much ninety
Speaker 2: four to ninety nine, that window he was talking about,
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: I got into them in two thousand and four. Who
Speaker 3: do they Matthew's man, Oh oh oh right, I have
Speaker 3: to say, but that's your age. You were fourteen or fifteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean would have missed it. But
Speaker 2: like they were, their prime was over. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: that's when I discovered it. Yeah, but that's because how.
Speaker 1: Old were you when crash happened? Because that was when
Speaker 1: they became like a thing that people like me would know.
Speaker 3: Eight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's rare that you're going to be super into
Speaker 1: a band, tod eight. It's tough.
Speaker 2: It's tough, especially when the only stations in town just
Speaker 2: played country.
Speaker 3: Music too, right, right, you know, all right?
Speaker 1: Uh man, Yeah, Jack Black, he's awesome. All right, It's
Speaker 1: been in Skin Show ninety seven point one. The Eagle
Speaker 1: coming up next playoff time. We'll do a little sports
Speaker 1: with you.
