WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Ninety seven point one The Eagle.

2
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:05.480
<v Speaker 2>That was the brand new food Fighter song today's song,

3
00:00:05.679 --> 00:00:07.360
<v Speaker 2>and I think we want to talk about it, but

4
00:00:07.400 --> 00:00:15.400
<v Speaker 2>first it's time for this.

5
00:00:12.080 --> 00:00:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Track, another edition of things Skin is.

6
00:00:16.079 --> 00:00:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Tracking all right.

7
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.120
<v Speaker 2>I did not know that we were going to have

8
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>a brand new food Fighters song until we talked to

9
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.559
<v Speaker 2>our program director yesterday at two o'clock. Is that when

10
00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 2>you guys first found out? Yeah, yep, So they did

11
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.239
<v Speaker 2>a really good job of hiding all this. I like

12
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:32.719
<v Speaker 2>being told to not to say anything about it. Yeah,

13
00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I love that. You love being told what to do,

14
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>so you're a ballgat guy. But I was very excited

15
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.280
<v Speaker 2>to hear it and we're going to be playing it

16
00:00:42.280 --> 00:00:44.280
<v Speaker 2>again in the five o'clock hour. Maybe maybe you've heard

17
00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:45.320
<v Speaker 2>it earlier today here.

18
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.320
<v Speaker 1>On The Eagle, But I don't know what.

19
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you guys have any thoughts or expectations about this

20
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:51.520
<v Speaker 2>going in?

21
00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:53.560
<v Speaker 1>No, not really.

22
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 4>I just know that my general baseline expectations for them

23
00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.560
<v Speaker 4>is it's going to be phenomenal.

24
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Everything they do is really really strong.

25
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>Are they the second biggest rock band in the world

26
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:04.000
<v Speaker 2>behind Metallica?

27
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh?

28
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 3>I was about to ask the first I would think, so, yeah,

29
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean they haven't been able to tour recently because

30
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 3>of all the crap they've had going on.

31
00:01:12.519 --> 00:01:16.239
<v Speaker 4>So it's hard to Yeah, I just think I liked

32
00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 4>you thinking about that.

33
00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>I think in Green Day might be more prepared than

34
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:19.359
<v Speaker 1>food Fighters.

35
00:01:19.400 --> 00:01:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

36
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it's just something about Dave Grohl being the face

37
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 4>of that and how real and authentic and approachable he's

38
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.040
<v Speaker 4>genuine human being.

39
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Is I just have a high expectation for everything they do.

40
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I think the thing I really like about Dave Grohl,

41
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.680
<v Speaker 2>and maybe it's because of that Sonic Highways series he

42
00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.359
<v Speaker 2>did on HBO or if you ever saw the Sound

43
00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.519
<v Speaker 2>City documentary he did, it is very evident.

44
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>That he is a huge music fan.

45
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 2>Like he loves music and loves talking about music and

46
00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:52.519
<v Speaker 2>all different kinds of music.

47
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.159
<v Speaker 1>He's what we call ahead.

48
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>He has a music head and that comes across in

49
00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.120
<v Speaker 2>pretty much everything he does. But I don't know about you, guys.

50
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:03.000
<v Speaker 2>I was kind of listening to the lyrics. I actually

51
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:04.480
<v Speaker 2>pulled him up and looked at him a little bit.

52
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.920
<v Speaker 2>But I was really curious, is this song in some

53
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.199
<v Speaker 2>way going to be about what he's been through with

54
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:13.879
<v Speaker 2>this personal life, which you know is you know, much

55
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.120
<v Speaker 2>discussed and talked about and all that sort of thing,

56
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.879
<v Speaker 2>saying there's two sides to a river, right, So, yeah,

57
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:20.680
<v Speaker 2>two sides to a story, and it's hard to know

58
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 2>what you're looking at if you don't know both sides.

59
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Is that what he's saying.

60
00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 2>And also the idea of you don't don't let what

61
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 2>others say drag you down and set you're worth and

62
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.599
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of a common theme and a lot of

63
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 2>food like that.

64
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.479
<v Speaker 1>That's the idea of best of You for example.

65
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.400
<v Speaker 5>Well, yeah, well in their last album, a lot of

66
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 5>those songs are about Taylor Hawkins, their drummer, dying. Yeah,

67
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.520
<v Speaker 5>and that was like kind of writing from a personal place,

68
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:43.000
<v Speaker 5>which they haven't always done. So I thought that was

69
00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:46.120
<v Speaker 5>it's very easy that he very possibly could have done that.

70
00:02:46.159 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not overt in anyway.

71
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Then, No, I was going to say, I think this

72
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 2>song is written in a way where it could be

73
00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>about because it's their thirty year anniversary, it could be

74
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:58.400
<v Speaker 2>about the band, it could be about personal life. It's

75
00:02:58.439 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 2>written in a way where you can just sort of

76
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.919
<v Speaker 2>reject whatever you want to on it, right, It just

77
00:03:03.000 --> 00:03:06.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of hits at an emotional core and then it's like, oh, well,

78
00:03:06.360 --> 00:03:06.919
<v Speaker 2>is he saying this?

79
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.159
<v Speaker 1>Is he saying this? And I think a.

80
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Lot of the best pieces of art or television or

81
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>film or whatever whatever we read, if it's written in

82
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>a way that stirs up an emotion and then you

83
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 2>can attach your own meaning onto it, I always think

84
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 2>that's the best kind of stuff. But man, I was

85
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.639
<v Speaker 2>thinking about this when we were talking to our program

86
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:30.800
<v Speaker 2>director Elliott yesterday thirty years of the Foo Fighters.

87
00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:39.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, ah, we love you, Dave Grohl, did U.

88
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.560
<v Speaker 2>There's no way that you guys were old enough to

89
00:03:42.599 --> 00:03:45.240
<v Speaker 2>remember when the Foo Fighters came out right five?

90
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:48.080
<v Speaker 5>I remember, no, not when they came out. But the

91
00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Big Me was like a big song that was played

92
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:51.879
<v Speaker 5>all the time. I thought like it would always stumble

93
00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:53.960
<v Speaker 5>up on those shows that would Aaron Fox to like,

94
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:56.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, nine to two and zero and stuff.

95
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I uh so.

96
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Big Me was the second single off that album. The

97
00:04:01.719 --> 00:04:02.599
<v Speaker 2>first one was.

98
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 1>No No No. I.

99
00:04:06.039 --> 00:04:09.479
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, you'll get what's it called this? I

100
00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 2>don't know the I don't know the name of it,

101
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>but you guys what I'm talking about where I'm.

102
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:13.639
<v Speaker 3>Trying to look it up right now and go keep

103
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:14.840
<v Speaker 3>it on though, But I remember.

104
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 2>The first time seeing it, Beanie, No, uh, do you

105
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.480
<v Speaker 2>have that first album?

106
00:04:19.519 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I'll pulled up the first Foo Fighters album. This is

107
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a call. I'll stick around. I'll stick around. I'll stick around.

108
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 2>And everyone immediately attached meaning to that being about Kurt Cobain, right,

109
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.240
<v Speaker 2>because Kirk Cobain checked out. Depending on what conspiracy you

110
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:36.720
<v Speaker 2>want to believe or not, but anyways, I very much

111
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:40.959
<v Speaker 2>remember going, Man, the drummer from the Foo Fighters is

112
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.399
<v Speaker 2>pretty good, right, Like, I had no idea he could

113
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:46.959
<v Speaker 2>sing and like he would sing harmony when they would

114
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 2>do stuff like they did, you know, the the acoustic

115
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>set for MTV MTV unplugged.

116
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and uh, and so you knew he could kind

117
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:55.399
<v Speaker 1>of do that.

118
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:58.600
<v Speaker 2>But I was immediately like, man, this is a badass

119
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.439
<v Speaker 2>front man. That's always It's amazing when some guy kind

120
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:03.920
<v Speaker 2>of steps out of the shadows and shows you this

121
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>whole new thing that he is. Do you guys think

122
00:05:06.399 --> 00:05:09.560
<v Speaker 2>that in general for the person walking around who's more

123
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.480
<v Speaker 2>popular Nirvana and their three albums or.

124
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>The Foo Fighters and their one hundred albums. That's impossible question, right,

125
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>is an impossible question?

126
00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Is it?

127
00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.639
<v Speaker 5>You just don't see a lot of Food Fighters T shirts?

128
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:23.360
<v Speaker 5>Selling at Target like you do Nirvana.

129
00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Well, but out there, how many people wearing those shirts

130
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.639
<v Speaker 3>actually listen to Van?

131
00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Right?

132
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:32.959
<v Speaker 4>But it's also I think somebody's way more popular in death.

133
00:05:33.959 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, there's that sensation too.

134
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can remorry if Nirvana is just way different. Yeah.

135
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.839
<v Speaker 2>I can remember when Kurt Cobain died that there was

136
00:05:41.839 --> 00:05:46.240
<v Speaker 2>a writer from Rolling Stone on MTV saying he's the

137
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.199
<v Speaker 2>John Lennon of our generation. I remember thinking that is

138
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.480
<v Speaker 2>the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard of person say,

139
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.959
<v Speaker 2>you shut your mouth. And then as I got older,

140
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:58.879
<v Speaker 2>I grew to appreciate the sentiment a lot more, right, Yeah,

141
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.360
<v Speaker 2>And so anyways, to your point, Ben, it's like when

142
00:06:02.399 --> 00:06:05.000
<v Speaker 2>you don't know where their life was gonna go. What

143
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:07.399
<v Speaker 2>they are is that thing forever and you feel deprived

144
00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>of it. But anyways, new food Fighter song. We're going

145
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:12.000
<v Speaker 2>to play it again in the five o'clock hour. One

147
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:16.240
<v Speaker 2>gem today. All right, that it was things skin is

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>tracking and it was involved a rock song. But here's

149

<v Speaker 2>what we got coming up in the next thirty minutes.
