Who Is the Queen of Rock-N-Roll. I've Got the Answer.

Janice Joplin just wasn't around enough. The Queen, she's, you know, she's got gray hair, she's probably 75 years old, I saw her on some interview and she's hilarious. She came out of the 60s, 70s, 80s, all of that completely unscarred, unscathed. Who is the queen of rock and roll?

The Two-Factor Headache

Blade 0:14

Are they all thanks, Reg! Are they all bad cell phones? They just keep changing, thinking, look, we're so cool. You know, and you don't know how I swear to you, sometimes I can't get to my voicemail because they change it all the time. I don't know how to get to it. I don't know how to get to so many things and once I figure out, they change it and I actually have to look up how to find the file I just downloaded. You just want to throw t he thing against the wall. But you can't.

Adobe Login Ordeal

Hotness, Humor, And Respect

Blade 0:38

I tried to sign, okay, one of my podcasts goes out, it's on Adobe Podcast, right? I tried to sign into Adobe Podcast the other day, and it I had to I had to have three different codes sent to my phone. Three, just to sign in. That's how bad it is. And I said this, you know, last year, it might have been two years ago. Look, if you're gonna steal my identity, just take it. I don't want to have to be a lie when we're going through 56-step authentication, right? When you have to have like 15-number combination that you have to look up every day just to get into your freaking whatever account it is. So you see Hottie on the intro, right? And and and my first thought is, how come I didn't marry a girl like that? You know, how come I didn't grab one or nab one like that? And there are some guys that do have girls like that. And I've always said this find a nice girl. You had a nice girl, you got a maid. No trouble for the rest of your life. All she has to do is make you laugh every now and then. That's her only responsibility. Again, you don't need a stand-up comedian, even though that might be okay, but that could get on your nerves. Just somebody makes you laugh, chuckle every now and then. Someone understands what you're saying, someone gets your humor, you know, sense of humor. If you guys get the same sense of humor, then that's all you need, really. Gotta have respect for each other, too, you know. That comes a lot, that comes along with, you know, chemistry, I do suppose. You gotta have respect for each other. Um, and uh, you gotta have some kind of momentum, some kind of ambition. You know, you gotta just be sitting on the couch smoking pot all day doing drugs. You can't do that. You know, there is that little girl thing about I'm gonna fix something, but generally, if you want to be successful in a relationship with a chick like a hot girl, that's not gonna work. If you drive a you know, 2006 Kia with 217,000 miles on it, that's not gonna work. Right? You gotta have a nice car, right?

Blade 3:09

You gotta have money. You know, that all comes with confidence and momentum and ambition.

Blade 3:14

Okay, if you got all that, a girl's gonna know it and she's gonna like you, you know. And whether she knows it or not, girls, if you know a lot of people and have power and influence, good stuff. It is. Really is. And you don't have to be that good looking. You just can't be bad looking, I suppose, is the general rule on that. Right? And if you have chemistry and all the other things like you respect them and they respect you, respectability, then if you're not that great looking, the scales tip if you have all those extra little things. You know. You gotta be lucky, I suppose, to have a beautiful girl like that because there is nothing like. I'm telling you, like waking up and seeing something like first thing in the morning. There's nothing like it. Put you in a good mood no matter what kind of nightmare you had.

Blade 4:08

There's the old joke that we've all been through. When we're growing up, you have to gnaw off your elbow so you can get out of bed so you don't wake her up. Look, I'm sorry, girls, and I know that goes both ways. I knew a guy once who was a good-looking cat when I was, you know, college age, underneath 30 years of age, good-looking cat, but worthless. You know, didn't have a job, didn't have any money, couldn't keep a job, you know, couldn't have a car that ran. And he every now and then he'd fool some girl into letting him spend the night. So he'd spend the night with her and he'd get up really early in the morning and leave.

Ambition, Money, And Chemistry

Cold Weather And Changing Tolerance

Blade 5:00

One time I picked this guy up when he had Ballpark Franks in his hand. Stole a package of hot dogs from her refrigerator. So, what's the bottom line of the whole thing? If you want a hottie, just have some ambition, some momentum, have charisma, have respect, have a job, have a little bit of money, you know, and be emotionally stable. That should do it for you. And if not, find a nice girl.

EV Gigafactories And Scale

Blade 5:32

Dude, it's cold as hell out here. I'm freezing. It's 57 degrees out here. You change, your body changes. You know, it's 117 in the summer, but when it gets to 57, you freeze. You do.

Do I Want An EV Yet

Blade 5:46

You know, we've got an EV plant right down the road here. I mean, like right down the road. I was driving by the other day, take a look at it. It's just like a mile long. It's a factory, it's a full-blown EV electric vehicle factory, and they come rolling out of there. You know, people buy them. You know, but it's a mile long. I'm like, that's an amazing structure. But it's nothing compared to the Intel structure, which is a little bit up the road on the 10 here. The Intel, you know, the computer chip thing program core, something, whatever the fuck in Intel does or is. Two miles long. You know, look at that tire, it's huge. You want one of those? No. Do I want to stop every now and then and hope they have a charger? No, I'm not there yet. You know what?

Ann And Nancy Wilson’s Legacy

Queen Of Rock Debate

Blade 6:34

I saw a uh sliding timeline of uh Ann Wilson of Art. Have you heard her sing yet? She is still so incredibly good. You know, and I saw one of her sister Nancy Wilson, too, and they're both beautiful. When they were young, they were both beautiful. They still are, you know, you can tell that they were like beautiful when they were like 20 or something. They're 10 years older than me. But if you look at look at this uh Ann Wilson timeline thingy, you know, it's a good song, all that. And she battled weight like they all do, which is cool. If you don't battle weight, you know, that's not cool. You gotta battle weight. And she did, and she lost it in Hall of Fame and all that. And don't see much about Nancy anymore, but that's Ann Wilson. You know, I couldn't, I mean, she's like the queen of rock and roll. I'd go back and forth between her and and Grace Slick. And and Janice Joplin, but Janice Joplin just wasn't around enough. Grace Slick. Grace Slick is still so funny. You know, she's, you know, got gray hair, she's probably 85 years old on an interview. She's hilarious. She just did uh she came out of the 60s, 70s, 80s, all of that completely unscarred, unscathed. Who is the queen of rock and roll? Is it Ann Wilson or Grace Slick? That goes back and forth in my head. Haven't decided on that yet.
