Speaker 1: Ninety seven point one The Eagle.
Speaker 2: That was the brand new food Fighter song today's song,
Speaker 2: and I think we want to talk about it, but
Speaker 2: first it's time for this.
Speaker 3: Track, another edition of things Skin is.
Speaker 1: Tracking all right.
Speaker 2: I did not know that we were going to have
Speaker 2: a brand new food Fighters song until we talked to
Speaker 2: our program director yesterday at two o'clock. Is that when
Speaker 2: you guys first found out? Yeah, yep, So they did
Speaker 2: a really good job of hiding all this. I like
Speaker 2: being told to not to say anything about it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I love that. You love being told what to do,
Speaker 2: so you're a ballgat guy. But I was very excited
Speaker 2: to hear it and we're going to be playing it
Speaker 2: again in the five o'clock hour. Maybe maybe you've heard
Speaker 2: it earlier today here.
Speaker 1: On The Eagle, But I don't know what.
Speaker 2: Did you guys have any thoughts or expectations about this
Speaker 2: going in?
Speaker 1: No, not really.
Speaker 4: I just know that my general baseline expectations for them
Speaker 4: is it's going to be phenomenal.
Speaker 1: Everything they do is really really strong.
Speaker 2: Are they the second biggest rock band in the world
Speaker 2: behind Metallica?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 3: I was about to ask the first I would think, so, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean they haven't been able to tour recently because
Speaker 3: of all the crap they've had going on.
Speaker 4: So it's hard to Yeah, I just think I liked
Speaker 4: you thinking about that.
Speaker 1: I think in Green Day might be more prepared than
Speaker 1: food Fighters.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Maybe it's just something about Dave Grohl being the face
Speaker 4: of that and how real and authentic and approachable he's
Speaker 4: genuine human being.
Speaker 1: Is I just have a high expectation for everything they do.
Speaker 2: I think the thing I really like about Dave Grohl,
Speaker 2: and maybe it's because of that Sonic Highways series he
Speaker 2: did on HBO or if you ever saw the Sound
Speaker 2: City documentary he did, it is very evident.
Speaker 1: That he is a huge music fan.
Speaker 2: Like he loves music and loves talking about music and
Speaker 2: all different kinds of music.
Speaker 1: He's what we call ahead.
Speaker 2: He has a music head and that comes across in
Speaker 2: pretty much everything he does. But I don't know about you, guys.
Speaker 2: I was kind of listening to the lyrics. I actually
Speaker 2: pulled him up and looked at him a little bit.
Speaker 2: But I was really curious, is this song in some
Speaker 2: way going to be about what he's been through with
Speaker 2: this personal life, which you know is you know, much
Speaker 2: discussed and talked about and all that sort of thing,
Speaker 2: saying there's two sides to a river, right, So, yeah,
Speaker 2: two sides to a story, and it's hard to know
Speaker 2: what you're looking at if you don't know both sides.
Speaker 1: Is that what he's saying.
Speaker 2: And also the idea of you don't don't let what
Speaker 2: others say drag you down and set you're worth and
Speaker 2: that's kind of a common theme and a lot of
Speaker 2: food like that.
Speaker 1: That's the idea of best of You for example.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, well in their last album, a lot of
Speaker 5: those songs are about Taylor Hawkins, their drummer, dying. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and that was like kind of writing from a personal place,
Speaker 5: which they haven't always done. So I thought that was
Speaker 5: it's very easy that he very possibly could have done that.
Speaker 1: It's not overt in anyway.
Speaker 2: Then, No, I was going to say, I think this
Speaker 2: song is written in a way where it could be
Speaker 2: about because it's their thirty year anniversary, it could be
Speaker 2: about the band, it could be about personal life. It's
Speaker 2: written in a way where you can just sort of
Speaker 2: reject whatever you want to on it, right, It just
Speaker 2: kind of hits at an emotional core and then it's like, oh, well,
Speaker 2: is he saying this?
Speaker 1: Is he saying this? And I think a.
Speaker 2: Lot of the best pieces of art or television or
Speaker 2: film or whatever whatever we read, if it's written in
Speaker 2: a way that stirs up an emotion and then you
Speaker 2: can attach your own meaning onto it, I always think
Speaker 2: that's the best kind of stuff. But man, I was
Speaker 2: thinking about this when we were talking to our program
Speaker 2: director Elliott yesterday thirty years of the Foo Fighters.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, ah, we love you, Dave Grohl, did U.
Speaker 2: There's no way that you guys were old enough to
Speaker 2: remember when the Foo Fighters came out right five?
Speaker 5: I remember, no, not when they came out. But the
Speaker 5: Big Me was like a big song that was played
Speaker 5: all the time. I thought like it would always stumble
Speaker 5: up on those shows that would Aaron Fox to like,
Speaker 5: you know, nine to two and zero and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I uh so.
Speaker 2: Big Me was the second single off that album. The
Speaker 2: first one was.
Speaker 1: No No No. I.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you'll get what's it called this? I
Speaker 2: don't know the I don't know the name of it,
Speaker 2: but you guys what I'm talking about where I'm.
Speaker 3: Trying to look it up right now and go keep
Speaker 3: it on though, But I remember.
Speaker 2: The first time seeing it, Beanie, No, uh, do you
Speaker 2: have that first album?
Speaker 1: I'll pulled up the first Foo Fighters album. This is
Speaker 1: a call. I'll stick around. I'll stick around. I'll stick around.
Speaker 2: And everyone immediately attached meaning to that being about Kurt Cobain, right,
Speaker 2: because Kirk Cobain checked out. Depending on what conspiracy you
Speaker 2: want to believe or not, but anyways, I very much
Speaker 2: remember going, Man, the drummer from the Foo Fighters is
Speaker 2: pretty good, right, Like, I had no idea he could
Speaker 2: sing and like he would sing harmony when they would
Speaker 2: do stuff like they did, you know, the the acoustic
Speaker 2: set for MTV MTV unplugged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and uh, and so you knew he could kind
Speaker 1: of do that.
Speaker 2: But I was immediately like, man, this is a badass
Speaker 2: front man. That's always It's amazing when some guy kind
Speaker 2: of steps out of the shadows and shows you this
Speaker 2: whole new thing that he is. Do you guys think
Speaker 2: that in general for the person walking around who's more
Speaker 2: popular Nirvana and their three albums or.
Speaker 1: The Foo Fighters and their one hundred albums. That's impossible question, right,
Speaker 1: is an impossible question?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 5: You just don't see a lot of Food Fighters T shirts?
Speaker 5: Selling at Target like you do Nirvana.
Speaker 3: Well, but out there, how many people wearing those shirts
Speaker 3: actually listen to Van?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 4: But it's also I think somebody's way more popular in death.
Speaker 4: You know, there's that sensation too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can remorry if Nirvana is just way different. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I can remember when Kurt Cobain died that there was
Speaker 2: a writer from Rolling Stone on MTV saying he's the
Speaker 2: John Lennon of our generation. I remember thinking that is
Speaker 2: the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard of person say,
Speaker 2: you shut your mouth. And then as I got older,
Speaker 2: I grew to appreciate the sentiment a lot more, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: And so anyways, to your point, Ben, it's like when
Speaker 2: you don't know where their life was gonna go. What
Speaker 2: they are is that thing forever and you feel deprived
Speaker 2: of it. But anyways, new food Fighter song. We're going
Speaker 2: to play it again in the five o'clock hour. One
Speaker 2: of the biggest bands in the world with a surprise
Speaker 2: gem today. All right, that it was things skin is
Speaker 2: tracking and it was involved a rock song. But here's
Speaker 2: what we got coming up in the next thirty minutes.
Speaker 2: We got skin Weight in the news again.
Speaker 4: A couple of problems for Jeff skin Weight with the
Speaker 4: Wayback Machine, and coming up next, Green Day gets disrespected
Speaker 4: on stage.
Speaker 1: That's next on the Eagle
