3 Taxi's Reverend Jim Eps, Cooley High & Rancid's "Old Friend" | Ep 21

We own up to a Groundhog Day blind spot, tighten some dangling facts, and then sink into why Taxi’s Jim episodes still crackle. A Rancid “Old Friend” cover closes the loop as we talk chords, bass lines, and making music under pressure.

• what Corrections Corner is for and why details matter
• how telenovelas, The Soup, and misheard names reveal media memory
• why Taxi works: ensemble chemistry, Bob James’s theme, physical comedy
• Elegant Iggy’s class jokes and gentle dignity
• Jim The Psychic’s panic farce and prophecy setup
• Reverend Jim’s DMV test and the long yellow‑light gag
• Cooley High as a “hard PG” time capsule
• Rancid context, Matt Freeman’s bass, and song structure
• choosing covers, B‑sides, and soundtrack pairings
• the creative grind of recording and what we learned

Cold Open, Confession, And Banter;

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Okay, go ahead. What's your confession? Because I'm not done with corrections, but continue.

You know, I I don't want you to leave me when I tell you this.

SPEAKER_01 0:06

SPEAKER_01 0:25

You and your deadlines.

SPEAKER_05 0:27

Well, where would we be without them? Because we even with my 90-minute deadline, we still have a two-hour podcast, so. That doesn't even include all the time we spent recording the song.

SPEAKER_01 0:38

We'd have a nice four four-hour podcast. What what the people want?

SPEAKER_05 0:41

I don't think there's many people.

SPEAKER_01 0:42

I think the only reason we have 19 subscribers is because we only we don't go for four hours.

SPEAKER_05 0:47

You think we'd have more if we went for four hours?

SPEAKER_01 0:49

Excuse me, ma'am. I have a song to see.

SPEAKER_05 0:50

And get inside.

SPEAKER_01 2:48

I I don't think that uh Do you think you could fit inside of me? I read some more recently. I read some more recently that that's not a good idea. Nah. It's not a good idea to cut your animal open and sleep in them.

SPEAKER_05 3:00

Um It's safe, Luke Skywalker.

SPEAKER_01 3:02

Can I do this without making terrible noises? Do we need WD property?

SPEAKER_05 3:05

Don't make any references to any people in our family. Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 3:10

It's okay to do this. It's just fine, just fine with you.

SPEAKER_05 3:13

Clap clap.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

It's okay if I screw up my themes on for the 21st time in a row. Is this episode 21? Episode 21.

SPEAKER_05 3:20

21esie. That's what a baby wears. A 21esie.

SPEAKER_01 3:25

That's what somebody wears on their 21st birthday when they want to go out and get smashed.

SPEAKER_05 3:29

No, remember the story? Remember when I went out for my my friend Betsy's.

SPEAKER_01 3:34

Oh, the romper?

SPEAKER_05 3:35

Yeah, and she was, and they asked her if she if they could do a shot off of her stomach, and she said, no, thanks. I'm wearing a romper.

SPEAKER_01 3:41

I'm wearing a onesie.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

Shout out to you, Betsy.

SPEAKER_01 3:45

Is there a difference between a romper and a onesie?

SPEAKER_05 3:47

I mean, I I wouldn't call a lady's clothing a onesie.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

No, I know, but. It's like a baby romper. Functionally speaking, is there any difference? Other than the little snaps on the bottom. Or do rompers have snaps?

SPEAKER_05 3:57

Rompers don't typically have snaps. They're just all one piece.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Huh. So aren't onesies though, too?

SPEAKER_05 4:04

Yeah, but they have snaps.

SPEAKER_01 4:06

Okay, so snaps, snaps and then the demographic, targeted demographic are the only things that's the same.

SPEAKER_05 4:10

That's the only in a size, the sizing.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

The sizing.

SPEAKER_05 4:13

I don't think I could fit into a onesie. Maybe a 21esie.

SPEAKER_01 4:15

Smaller individuals who could wear a 21esie? A 21esie.

SPEAKER_05 4:19

Right, 18Z.

SPEAKER_01 8:19

Do we just want to get right into Corrections Corner? Do you have some more corners?

Corrections Corner

SPEAKER_05 8:29

SPEAKER_01 8:30

That'll be interesting. So uh this is corrections. Oh, hey guys, this is the audience online. I already said that. Oh, you did? Yes. Do you say what our show is?

SPEAKER_05 8:38

I said that we were married.

SPEAKER_01 8:40

SPEAKER_01 8:44

Check this out. Okay. Ready for this?

SPEAKER_05 8:46

SPEAKER_01 8:47

What this show is is we're emulating the standing in line experience prior to a concert, concert of which we perform. Today we'll be performing Rancid. If you're listening to this on Spotify or Apple Music or any of your other favorite podcast platforms, then you will have to go to YouTube to check out our cover of Old Friend by Rancid and and Out Come the Wolves. The Wolfs.

SPEAKER_05 9:09

Featuring me on the left hand.

SPEAKER_01 9:11

Featuring you with your with your left hand playing your best Matt Freeman, the six sick bass line, and me just fumbling through the rust.

SPEAKER_05 9:20

No, you were good.

SPEAKER_01 9:21

It was fun.

SPEAKER_05 9:22

It was it? Sometimes I think after we record, I'm like, do we still speak to each other? Are we mad at each other? The crappy part is it's But then I just talk and you don't seem mad, so I just move on.

SPEAKER_01 9:31

It's just stress, it's just stressful. That's all it is. It's stressful for me.

SPEAKER_05 9:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 9:34

I it's a there's a big difference between me playing by myself, messing around with my guitar, and then actually performing something that's structured that needs to be right. That two people need to be on the same page with of with. It's tricky. It's part of the re I mean, again, like there's a million reasons why we do this. Yeah. One is so that we can grow closer through stress.

SPEAKER_05 10:00

It's bonding us. We're having a trauma bond.

SPEAKER_01 10:02

We just held hands. Your hands are very cold, by the way.

SPEAKER_05 10:04

You know, I told you it's 30 below in here.

SPEAKER_01 10:06

The other is so that I can learn how to work through things like this and appreciate them more. I've one thing I have learned is that I've listened to music a little differently than when we started this podcast.

SPEAKER_04 10:18

Okay, good.

SPEAKER_01 10:19

I appreciate things more, even if I don't like the song. Sometimes I appreciate things in the song. Isn't that nice?

SPEAKER_05 10:24

It's so nice. I have a footstool.

SPEAKER_01 10:26

SPEAKER_05 10:53

I mean, you can't you can't stop just because you can't.

Is he K for Kevin?

SPEAKER_01 17:22

Uh yeah, K for Kevin. That's crazy. PAX for Spacey. Carol King did play the piano on every song and tapestry. Um it was uh James Taylor's band as well. They pretty much had the same band. Uh do I have any names? Uh sometimes I write names down. Uh the core band, uh Danny Korchmar on guitar, Charles Larkey on bass, who's her husband.

SPEAKER_05 17:46

Charles Mullarkey.

SPEAKER_01 17:48

Mullarkey. He went by Mullarkey for his fans. Russ Kunk Russ Kunkel. Underwear pissy.

SPEAKER_05 18:01

Russ Kunkel sounds like a skin disease or something.

SPEAKER_01 18:08

You get you can get uh some pretty nasty in skin infections for playing drums. Yeah. That's what he played. Joel O'Brien also drums. I think they shared sticks. That's what happened there. Uh no formal band name, but later known as the section or the mellow mafia. Wow, I like that. Me too. There's a couple things that I I was listening to to our time loop. This I I I'm I'm sort of taking advantage of Correction Score. I'm resurrecting old topics. Number one, one thing I want to mention. When we talked about the rock, I started talking about both these things, but but but you cut me off.

SPEAKER_05 18:44

And I never Was it like 6:30 and we started at noon?

SPEAKER_01 18:48

That's really rude. So, and The Rock. I wanted to say, this is not great news, but this really should have been an announcements corner, probably. The rock, I think, is technically in the science fiction universe. And I feel like because remember, they acknowledged the alien landing in Area 51. They like said that that was a that was that is in the canon of Michael Bay, the rock universe.

SPEAKER_05 19:18

Yeah. I heard that part.

SPEAKER_01 19:19

When you combine that with what he finds at the end of the movie with aliens, I feel like they need to do something there.

SPEAKER_05 19:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

They need to do something real bad.

unknown 19:30

Real bad.

SPEAKER_05 19:31

They need to do something that's very good, but they really badly need to do it.

SPEAKER_01 19:34

They need a time loop. All right. Let's let's let's get it going, guys. Come on. Okay. Nick Cage is he will do anything for money. Let's do it. And do it well. Alright. Uh, but another thing. I said I forgot to talk about not sleeping and nootropics and open mic night, but you but I was I was I was cut off. I wrote she cut me off. She, her, the wife.

SPEAKER_02 19:58

Wifey. Wifey.

SPEAKER_01 20:01

Okay. So I wanted to see what it'd be like since you since you uh you snap back at the end of the day in in a time loop and you get like full energy and full healing and all that stuff.

SPEAKER_04 20:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

So would you ever really have to sleep? That'd be really interesting. How long could you go without sleeping? And then I'd experiment with a lot of different like speeds and nootropics and like amphetamines, that kind of thing, and just see like what the optimal just see what I kind of crazy stuff I could do to my brain for uh in that with that regard. Uh and then the other thing was um open mic night. I wanted to go to open mic nights and like comedy bits and you know guitar and whatnot. And first of all, play them. Get get used to get comfortable. I said I wanted to become better. But I would also like to occasionally uh assume the name of people, dress up just like them, memorize their entire acts, and go on right before them just to screw with them.

SPEAKER_05 21:00

I had a similar thing that I wished I would have thought of since we were in Columbus, right? That's where we were having our time, Luke. They have Broadway plays. I thought I would like to learn learn a part and then like hurt the person to make it so that they can't go on and then be their understudy and and perform.

SPEAKER_01 21:19

You said you didn't want to hurt yourself, but you're totally fine.

SPEAKER_05 21:23

We're gonna reset.

SPEAKER_01 21:25

I was just gonna embarrass them.

SPEAKER_05 21:27

That's yours is funnier, but I think it's funny that we both had No, I liked it.

SPEAKER_01 21:30

SPEAKER_05 22:19

I said I would win the lottery over and over.

SPEAKER_01 22:20

You'd have to do that on a day, we'd have to do the time loop on a day where you won the lottery. You mentioned winning the lottery. I just won the lottery.

SPEAKER_05 22:28

Well, but wait, wait, wait. Couldn't I just watch the what the lottery numbers were at the end of the day and then remember them and win the lottery the next day? Pick those numbers?

SPEAKER_01 22:35

Oh, you mean for the c for for when you're exiting the time loop? Maybe that's what you meant.

SPEAKER_05 24:54

I'm sure I said many dumb things, especially given that I didn't really understand that.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

It shows you how much I read. It shows you how much I depend on notes. I take so many notes now that my I don't really have a working memory anymore.

SPEAKER_05 25:06

Oh, they did some brain scans of some people who are primary chat GPT users, and it's not looking good.

Um I said that I would set myself on fire in the time move because I was talking about get building up like a pain tolerance. And you said, would you do it by burning carpet? And it was a joke you were making fun of me when I actually set myself on fire burning carpet.

SPEAKER_05 25:42

SPEAKER_05 26:55

And then I have two albums or an album and a band.

SPEAKER_01 26:58

Let's go. Go ahead. Start it off.

SPEAKER_05 27:01

Well, we talked a little we've talked several times about the I am Sam album.

SPEAKER_01 27:05

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 27:06

And so I went back and listened to it.

SPEAKER_01 27:08

That was the Beatles covers Beatles covers, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 27:12

And it came out at a time when I was, I think, a senior. No.

SPEAKER_01 27:15

SPEAKER_05 27:17

Yeah, Ben Harper, Rufus Wainwright, Cheryl Crow.

SPEAKER_01 27:20

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Doesn't uh What's Her Face uh Fiona Apple do a version of the couple? She's got one.

SPEAKER_05 27:29

Oh, she has a version of that, but on that album. Uh there's a lot of good people, and there's a lot of great versions of all those songs. Um cool. So I really enjoyed that. It took me back to college days.

SPEAKER_01 27:39

Have we seen the movie? I never.

SPEAKER_05 27:40

I never have, and I really don't want to.

SPEAKER_01 27:42

I don't think I have either. I I got it confused with Summer of Sam.

SPEAKER_05 27:47

So I am Sam, I believe, is about person with maybe Down syndrome or another type of chromosomal disorder.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

How'd the Beatles get worked into it?

SPEAKER_05 27:54

I don't know. I've never seen it. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:56

So anyway, it's a great we should stop talking about it.

SPEAKER_05 27:58

It's a great remake album. And then I also, because I um I don't remember how I even got to it, but the Steel Drivers, I started listening to the Steel Drivers. Oh, because I uh it came up on my playlist and I made you listen to it. Because it's a little it's a little folky, but it's got a bit of a little rock blues feel to it, I feel like I liked it.

SPEAKER_01 28:18

I thought it was cool.

SPEAKER_05 28:18

So anyway, those were my two things.

SPEAKER_01 28:22

Is it like a kind of like a bluegrass band?

SPEAKER_05 28:25

Yes, but it it fell a little bit more blues. They should call it bluesgrass. Did I just create a thing?

SPEAKER_01 28:32

Probably not.

SPEAKER_05 28:33

Hey bluesgrass.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Um no, we'll we'll look into it.

SPEAKER_05 28:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 28:41

Bluesgrass.

SPEAKER_05 28:42

Alright, and then Russian doll.

SPEAKER_01 28:45

Any standout covers on that I am Sam? Any favorites? Any how about this? This is really putting you on the spot here. Anything you like better than the original Beatles version?

SPEAKER_05 28:55

No. But none that I was like, this is trash. Like they're all I I like they all sounded like the artist that was remaking them.

SPEAKER_00 29:03

Cool.

SPEAKER_05 29:04

There's a you and me chasing another da-da-da-da-da-da. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's my favorite song on the album.

SPEAKER_01 29:13

SPEAKER_02 29:59

SPEAKER_05 31:17

Alright, so you ready for your five-minute hook coolie high timer?

Cooley High Five-Minute Movie Corner

SPEAKER_01 31:21

Oh yes, I'm ready for my five-minute cooley high timer. Now, cooley high. You ready?

SPEAKER_05 31:28

Are you ready for me to start the timer?

SPEAKER_01 31:31

Let me find a couple links. I put I left for myself. Do me a favor, go ahead and tell me what you know about Cooley High.

SPEAKER_05 31:43

I don't know anything about it. Are you serious?

SPEAKER_01 31:48

Do you know what decade it's from?

SPEAKER_05 31:50

90s.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

No.

SPEAKER_05 31:52

80s.

SPEAKER_01 31:52

No.

SPEAKER_05 31:53

70s.

SPEAKER_01 31:53

70s, yes. I'm stalling while I can pull up the soundtrack because I'd like to start with this.

SPEAKER_05 31:58

Where does it take place? Chicago. Chicago. Is it like inner city high?

SPEAKER_01 32:03

It sure is.

SPEAKER_05 32:04

Is Michelle Pfeiffer in it?

SPEAKER_01 32:05

Michelle Pfeiffer is not, but there is a white teacher. And that's the only white woman in the entire uh in the entire uh movie? Movie, I believe. Um, here it is. Cooley high.

SPEAKER_05 32:18

You are you should be very proud of me because I did not start your timer yet.

SPEAKER_01 32:23

You didn't? No. Oh wow. Uh okay, so I do want to. Yeah, go ahead. Go. Yeah, Cooley High 1975. Never seen this before. Um it's one of those things I heard about from I have no idea what. I the I I dug through my head because I I'm almost positive I heard about it from Camp Lowe. Do you do you know? They're like a they're like a um, they're their own thing, but they're kind I always think about outcast when I think of them. They're kind of eccentric. Uh late 90s, early 2000s rappers. Okay. Uh they have a song called Cooley High.

SPEAKER_05 33:00

What's Cooley mean?

SPEAKER_01 33:01

Uh, I don't actually know. It's the name of the school. Okay. Um cool. I think it is. It's cool. Dang it.

SPEAKER_05 33:09

You can let me know next week.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

It's uh yeah, Cooley Vocational High School.

SPEAKER_05 33:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 33:13

It's a real school. It closed in 1979. This movie was made in 75, we didn't say it already. Um I don't think the Camp Lowe song had anything to do with this movie. I did uh I this is one of those movies that I realized inspired a million different things, including um John Singleton, who made a the other 1991 movie starring a character named Ricky.

SPEAKER_05 33:44

Stand in Delivery.

SPEAKER_01 33:45

Not Ricky O, the story of Ricky, not that was 1991. Um and there wasn't a Ricky in it either, I don't believe. No, Boys Boys in the Hood. Oh this movie is basically like Boys in the Hood. Um it's a more fun-loving, but it's it takes a dark turn. It's got a lot of libation, you know, like pouring out liquor, and it it's got a lot of fun-loving scenes. Mistakes are made, they catch up with them in the end, and it's a 70s movie, and it's a ghetto movie.

SPEAKER_05 34:17

It sounds like a depressing movie.

SPEAKER_01 34:19

It's a lot of fun, though. It's a it's a really it's really funny. It's I'll talk about the content in a minute. It's rated PG.

SPEAKER_04 34:26

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 34:27

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's the hardest PG I've ever seen in my life. This movie, honestly, is just a stone's throw from R.

SPEAKER_05 34:34

Ah.

SPEAKER_01 34:35

And it would have just it it would have been a hard PG 13.

SPEAKER_05 34:39

Today? In today's money? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 34:41

I'll talk about that in a minute because I want to go through the parents' guide of IMDB. Um, but the soundtrack is sick. I I'm not gonna talk about all the scenes from it because Leslie only gives me five minutes, and she won't care.

SPEAKER_05 34:53

And we already have two and a half left.

SPEAKER_01 34:55

Okay, so we have listen, we got Diana Ross and the Supremes, Stevie Wonder, the Four Tops, Supremes again, Luther Allison, Martha Reeves and the Vandelas, the Marvelettes, Smoky, Smokey, Junior Walker and the All-Stars, um, Barrett Strong, Mary Wells, Freddie Perrin did like all the all the music for it. The Temptations are on it, more Junior Walker, more Smokey, tons of Freddie Perrin. GC Cameron, he did It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to yesterday. You know that song?

SPEAKER_05 35:27

It's so high. Yes, I know that song.

SPEAKER_01 35:31

Boyce to Men.

SPEAKER_05 35:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:33

Boys to Men, I believe named their album Cooley High. Anyways, so Boy Some Men had a shout-out. I wasn't a huge Boy to Men guy, so I didn't know that at the time, but I just looked it up. It's it's um Boys to Men. Look at look and see if you can find that real quick. Okay. What am I looking at? Boys to Men album? Boys to Men album of Cooley High. Okay. Yeah. So the uh this this movie, um, like I said, I I really did enjoy it. I recommend you watch it if Oh gosh. I mean honestly, I'd written.

SPEAKER_05 36:07

Coolie High Harmony.

SPEAKER_01 36:08

Yeah, I'd recommend you watch it if you like to see like what's the name of the album. Cooley High Harmony. You know, I I've always had it gotten a kick out of listening to like if I heard a rapper, like the whole reason I watched Dolomite is because I heard Snoop rap about Dolomite. So I went and watched Dolomite and Petey Weep's Straw and Human Tornado and all these like Rudy Ray Moore movies, which led me to a bunch of other movies. That's how I saw the Mac, that's how I've seen Superflight. I just I want to know, I want to be in on the joke that my favorite rappers are telling, you know. So I kind of go down those rabbit holes, and that's essentially what this podcast is. But uh Cooley High, if you have an interest in you know, like I said, John Singleton or just a million other um kind of coming of age high. It's like it's like Chicago urban American graffiti with a little bit more of an edge.

SPEAKER_05 37:01

Can we get the the track listing from Cooley High? Can we get all those artists to be at our concert?

SPEAKER_01 37:06

Oh, yeah, a few of them for sure. We haven't talked about our concert in a while. Why don't you go and talk about our concert while I pull up the parents' guy?

SPEAKER_05 37:12

Rob and I are planning a concert for I don't know when it's gonna be, but it's gonna feature a lot of dead posthumous people. This really doesn't let me play with stuff.

SPEAKER_01 37:24

Really obnoxious on the recording. You just hear clicking the whole time. I I'm just telling you, I would turn it off. If I was listening to it, I wouldn't listen to this podcast anymore.

SPEAKER_05 37:34

Should I leave?

SPEAKER_01 37:35

You should just quit screwing with the cables.

SPEAKER_05 37:37

I can't help it. I'm a baby mommy. Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 37:41

Taxi: Show Overview & Bob James Theme Song

SPEAKER_01 42:36

move on.

SPEAKER_05 42:36

All right, let's talk about Taxi.

SPEAKER_01 42:41

Taxi specifically?

SPEAKER_05 42:43

Three episodes. Three episodes. And I was wondering.

SPEAKER_01 42:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:46

Sorry to put you on the spot. But since we're not allowed to talk about stuff in real life anymore.

SPEAKER_02 42:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:53

Uh could you just give me just like uh if you were gonna talk to someone who'd never seen taxi before, uh-huh, like myself, like a just a like little blurb about taxi. Just give a give the audience a little catch-up on taxi.

SPEAKER_01 43:06

Taxi, uh Taxi was a show that was Late 70s, early 80s. Late 70s, early 80s. Man, I made a bunch of notes, but they are not uh they're not in order. And I always look at my notes before I go on.

SPEAKER_05 43:21

Uh-huh. Go on.

SPEAKER_01 43:22

I didn't do that this time. Huh. Huh. Isn't that weird?

SPEAKER_05 43:24

I wasn't sick, guys. Rob's has had maybe one day's worth of calories in the last four days. And so he's just a special type of Rob today.

SPEAKER_01 43:34

Special guy. Um, okay, so never mind. Scratch that joke that you didn't hear. Good good thing. Okay, so um Taxi was a show that was on, I think maybe seventy eight, maybe seventy nine through eighty three, eighty four.

SPEAKER_05 43:51

I think so, because that one guy died.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

It featured oh, uh um Bobby.

SPEAKER_05 43:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 44:00

What the heck's in the actor's name?

SPEAKER_05 44:01

I have no idea. Okay, Jeff Conway.

SPEAKER_01 44:02

Oh. Well, Andy Kaufman died too.

SPEAKER_05 44:04

Oh, I thought Andy Kaufman died right then at the end of the season.

SPEAKER_01 44:08

No. Well, yeah, he died in like 86. Oh, I think that's a good one. He died of lung cancer. Was it 84?

SPEAKER_05 44:15

Yeah, but then I didn't know Conway died that. I thought he was just.

SPEAKER_01 44:18

Conway died in like I think 2011, maybe. That's not who I was talking about. Everybody else I think is.

SPEAKER_05 44:24

What's Andy Kaufman's name on the show?

SPEAKER_01 44:25

Uh Locke.

SPEAKER_05 44:26

And where is he from?

SPEAKER_01 44:28

Eastern Europe? I think they actually say where he's from.

SPEAKER_05 44:31

Yeah, I think he's from a fictional country.

SPEAKER_01 44:33

That's from um built up at the border island.

SPEAKER_05 44:35

Right.

SPEAKER_01 44:36

No, no, no. He's got you know that uh Space Russia. You know who was supposed to be, Bobby?

SPEAKER_05 44:41

No.

SPEAKER_01 44:41

I think Bobby? Yeah, Bobby, not Locka. I think Robin Williams. The only reason I thought of that was because I was thinking of Morgan Mindy, who had he kind of had a similar bit.

SPEAKER_04 44:52

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 44:52

You know, then kind of um he, I think, was supposed to be on the show, but he did another movie. He did another show instead. Oh, wait. I think he might have done Morkamindy. Oh. I think that's what he did instead of. Oh, you haven't?

SPEAKER_05 45:08

Oh, but anyway, give me a quick like two-sentence blurb about what's this premise of taxi.

SPEAKER_01 45:12

Uh, there's a bunch of taxi drivers in New York.

SPEAKER_05 45:14

Yeah. And who they all work for?

SPEAKER_01 45:17

They work for Sunshine Cabs, I think is the name of the city.

SPEAKER_05 45:20

It's run by Danny DeVito.

SPEAKER_01 45:21

It's run by Danny DeVito. Yep. And then I think Jeff is the tall black dude in the back who never says anything. Uh huh. But he's in like every episode. Um, I watched the show. Is that a good enough explanation?

SPEAKER_05 45:32

Sure. Is he actually tall or is he just sharing a booth with Danny DeVito?

SPEAKER_01 45:35

That's a good question. That's a really good question. How tall was Jeff? What's his name, Jeff? Anyway. Yeah. I had notes on the show.

SPEAKER_05 45:45

And it's a sitcom.

SPEAKER_01 45:46

It is a sitcom, and it's pretty funny.

SPEAKER_05 45:48

I'll tell you, I never in my life ever wanted to watch it because I just something about the intro made me think about MASH, and I hated MASH. The soundtrack.

SPEAKER_00 45:59

Why did you hate MASH?

SPEAKER_05 46:00

Well, because you know what that theme song represented? The end of the Saturday morning cartoons. It came on at 11.

SPEAKER_01 46:08

Such a strange association.

SPEAKER_05 46:09

And then it was a war show. And I didn't want to watch that. So for some reason, my brain had it lumped in with Taxi, MASH and Taxi. So I'm happy to be wrong.

SPEAKER_01 46:20

The theme song. Yeah. Um, well, let's talk about the music.

SPEAKER_05 46:23

Let's talk about baby Bobby Jamesy.

SPEAKER_01 46:25

Before we get into, we're gonna be talking a lot about Reverend Jim episode. I went. Christopher Lloyd is like my favorite character on the show, or my favorite the Jim is my favorite character on the show. Played by Christopher Lloyd. And I wanted to pick some Jim-centric episodes. So we watched We watched uh three of them.

SPEAKER_05 46:48

We did. I loved them.

SPEAKER_01 46:49

We're gonna talk about them. You did?

SPEAKER_05 46:50

I loved them. Good. Let's watch the whole series.

SPEAKER_01 46:52

Really? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

It could be our next bedtime sitcom.

SPEAKER_01 46:56

Watch Taxi? Yes.

SPEAKER_05 46:57

That's a thought. That is a thought. Because when are we gonna we have anything lined up after communicating?

SPEAKER_01 47:01

That's a lot of Bob James, maybe.

SPEAKER_05 47:02

Baby. Every night. We can skip that part.

SPEAKER_01 47:05

No, we're not gonna skip that part.

SPEAKER_05 47:06

The same song every night.

SPEAKER_01 47:08

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 47:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:09

That song is what got me into the show.

SPEAKER_05 47:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:11

I used to watch uh Nick at Night. I don't remember when Nick at Night started airing taxi. Obviously, obviously I didn't watch the show when it was out because when you were still dead. I was still dead. I was born, I think, when one of the episodes came out. I was born in 82. This show came out a few years before. One of the shows that we watched recently. One of the episodes. Um Bob James is like, I don't know. He might be one of my he might be my favorite musician of all time, just as far as all of his work. He did the entire soundtrack, so all the stuff between scenes. He did Angela is his uh is the taxi theme song. It's a different version of the one that's on uh the album Touchdown, which is the album that's on. But um anyways, it's still still a great version of it. Uh it was originally supposed to be Touchdown. The song Touchdown off the touchdown album was supposed to be the theme song, which is super funky, it would have been pretty cool. But I'm glad they went with Angela. It's just one of my all-time favorite songs.

SPEAKER_05 48:18

This is a pretty long intro.

SPEAKER_01 48:20

It is a long intro.

SPEAKER_05 48:22

Is that normal for the time?

SPEAKER_01 48:25

Yeah, I guess. You know, I don't really know.

SPEAKER_05 48:27

I mean because now you're lucky if you get an intro to a show to a song.

SPEAKER_01 48:31

Yeah. TV intro theme songs, I used to put a lot of work into those. And uh I remember when just last night when you were watching all the names come up, uh-huh. You're like, wow, there's a lot of people in there. There's a lot of big names in this show.

SPEAKER_05 48:42

But I think if from a music therapist standpoint, you hear that song and it cues you right up to expect to sit down and hear the to watch the show. So like when we do when I do music therapy groups, I always start with the exact same song because it puts people in the frame of mind that I want them to be in to set the stage for the group. So I mean I feel like there are these days people's are short attention spans, like kind of like our theme song.

SPEAKER_01 49:14

Like when I like when I just na knock it out of the parking lot.

SPEAKER_05 49:17

Every time it really sets the stage for what to expect. Yeah, I think so.

SPEAKER_01 49:20

Of what not that exactly.

SPEAKER_05 49:21

But I think the people today just they're just missing an opportunity by not having a song.

SPEAKER_01 49:26

Yeah, or you could you could just make there was that short there not short, unfortunately, but that period of time where every single theme song sounded like Game of Thrones.

SPEAKER_05 49:34

That's still happening, I think. Well, here's the thing. Do you think you would remember even half of the cartoons that you remember if you didn't remember every single word of those theme songs?

SPEAKER_01 49:44

No.

SPEAKER_05 49:44

See?

SPEAKER_01 49:45

Oh, you're right. So that's interesting.

SPEAKER_05 49:47

Anyway.

SPEAKER_01 49:47

Uh Angela, the the taxi theme song was supposed to be it was supposed to just be a little 15-second transition between scenes and like I think the third episode, but they're like, no, this is what we need for the theme song. Yeah. Good choice, uh, James L. Brooks.

SPEAKER_05 50:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:03

The um the scene where they're driving over, I think it's the Queen's Bridge, if I'm not mistaken. They're drive you you said how do they clear that off to do that? They didn't. They they filmed it early in the morning and just so they got they just happened to get a 15-second clip.

SPEAKER_05 50:23

I'm just replaying it or something. They just lift it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:26

It's Tony Danza driving, too.

SPEAKER_05 50:28

It is. Oh, I want to watch another episode now so I can see it.

SPEAKER_01 50:31

Yeah, so um That's great. It is great. It's I I I haven't seen all the episodes. In fact, I probably, if I guessed, I bet I've seen a third of them.

SPEAKER_05 50:41

Wow. Oh my gosh, it's gonna be a real gem for us to come up for bedtime.

SPEAKER_01 50:44

There's some there are some that aren't there aren't home runs. Like like these, these were like I kind of handpicked these. Like I knew these episodes were great. There, there's some, they're all it's a great show. It's just uh I wouldn't expect to s side-splitting hilarity.

SPEAKER_05 51:01

There, I mean, I had some real like laugh out loud moments on a couple of those.

SPEAKER_01 51:04

SPEAKER_05 54:05

He's like, Oh, it's easier than I thought it was. So then, and then while they're at but like the while they're at the concert, they run into someone that Elaine knows because she apparently runs an art gallery, and they get invited to a party, and then she doesn't want to take Jim because she's embarrassed.

SPEAKER_01 54:21

Because it's gonna be like the who's who of high society in New York. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 57:24

Louis Oh, his last name is Sunshine?

SPEAKER_01 57:25

No, I don't I don't know what it is. Uh what is his last name?

SPEAKER_05 57:27

I don't know. Anyways, go on with the uh Well um I felt pretty darn sad when she told him she didn't want him to come.

SPEAKER_01 57:34

Oh, I know.

SPEAKER_05 57:35

That was awful.

SPEAKER_01 57:36

He's like, Oh, it would absolutely kill you. What would you say if I asked you? Oh, it passed you and absolutely kill me.

SPEAKER_05 57:42

But then she does. But what does she say when she turns back around and ends up inviting him to come with her?

unknown 57:47

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 57:48

What she is there like a punchline?

SPEAKER_05 57:51

No, I just could I missed how she decided to I just couldn't hear what she said.

SPEAKER_01 57:55

Uh she said actually she said, I want you to go with me. Or something like that. Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_05 58:00

Um So then at the party, then they need entertainment. Or first of all, he's like a hit, of course, with this lady.

SPEAKER_01 58:07

Oh, I know I know what he says.

SPEAKER_05 58:09

What?

SPEAKER_01 58:10

She says, I want you to go with me. And he says, What will I wear?

SPEAKER_05 58:15

He's wearing a tuxedo that he already bought. I love I love Oh, I meant to ask my mom if my grandpa had watched that show.

SPEAKER_01 58:25

Definitely ask, definitely ask her. I'm sure. I'm sure if he didn't, that's it's it's his sense of humor right off the show. Yeah. I mean, the another something else that happens in that like sequence is she uh Elaine says to to Louie, she's like, I need your help with something. He's like, What did or I need you to do something for me. What's he say?

SPEAKER_05 58:45

Uh um I don't remember that part.

SPEAKER_01 58:48

Oh, anything need rubbing?

SPEAKER_05 58:50

Oh, right.

SPEAKER_01 58:53

He's so vile. I just sat there and just wrote quotes down. And now I'm like, oh, I'll know what these mean.

SPEAKER_05 59:00

And now you don't. Yeah. Um and then when he uh so he like hits it off well with like the rich people at the the rich lady. And but then she's what'd you think about the comment when he was playing the piano and she was like, he's a veteran. Oh yeah. But he isn't. Um because in that vlog we watched later, then Tony Danzo was talking about being a veteran. No, she was just saying that. It's kind of terrible. I don't think anybody would use that too.

SPEAKER_01 59:30

They wanted to have uh sympathy for him. I think she's trying to guard her sympathy.

SPEAKER_05 59:35

Oh, that seems really No, I think I think that's the way I took it anyway. You're right, you're right, and I'm sure you're right.

SPEAKER_01 59:45

This is completely random, it has nothing to do with it, but it reminds me of the the movie Friendship, where the one guy, I can't remember the media's name, but he's just like, we should have never left Afghanistan. It's just like this random comment. I don't know. Um so that there's another good line in there for when when when they're in the elevator, right before she they get invited.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:07

They're facing the back. Oh, she says one of my biggest.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:10

She says it's one of my biggest. He's like, Wow, she could stay to use I guess she could stay to lose a pound or two. I love just that stupid humor cuts me. I love it.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:18

Alright. Jim the psychic.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:20

Well Oh, sorry. What after the veteran line, when he when he finally busts out what is it, like Chopin?

SPEAKER_05 1:00:27

Yeah, I don't know what it was.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:28

I think that's what it is.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:29

It looks like he's playing it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:31

It did kind of look like he was playing it.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:32

But do you think he was just very well faking it?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:35

It's correct.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:36

Because he didn't act it didn't actually look like he was playing. Like I don't think he was playing it, but he was doing a heck of a job panomiming it.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:43

Well, yeah. Yeah, he that's true. It did look, I mean, you would know.

SPEAKER_05 1:00:48

I don't think he was playing it, but I'd like to be proven wrong.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:50

That'd be cool. Prove me wrong. It'd be cool to know. I'd be surprised just like Elaine was. Oh my gosh. Or just like Jim was when he was like, I must have had music lessons. It reminds me of uh Peter Griffin and uh Family Guy. Oh yeah. He's like a drunk savant.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:06

Or when they're at the very then like they cut to the end of the party where he's sitting there singing its like lovely duet with this lady, and he's like, Well, good night. Dismissives are it was great.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:18

That was a great, great episode.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:20

It was a great intro.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:22

Great intro to the trilogy we watched.

Taxi: Jim the Psychic Episode Discussion

SPEAKER_05 1:01:25

It was. Out of order, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:27

Yeah, we watched it in reverse.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:29

Okay, then Jim the Psychic, the Psychic.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:31

Jim the Psychic. I just want to say something like season four, first episode.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:35

Tony Danz's physique.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:39

He's got a real, as the kids say, yat.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:42

Yeah, so was that was that the one we said wearing the white pants and you kept talking about his white pants?

SPEAKER_05 1:01:47

Yeah, were they at the um No, I think that was more Yeah. Well, did they go yeah, they went to the Mario to the to the restaurant, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:55

Yeah. That's like their hangout.

SPEAKER_05 1:01:56

So he's wearing pants like I prefer to wear, high-waisted wide-leg pants. Which are very, very in style for women. And look very, very hilarious. I mean he looks great, but they're just like hugging his curves and his he's this incredibly tiny little hunky little thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:15

Yeah, he's uh five'9, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:18

He's smaller than me. Thanks.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:21

I bet you could wear his pants though.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:23

I don't think so. He has no hips. He does have a big butt though.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:26

I don't really know how that works.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:27

Yeah, you don't have any hips either.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:29

I don't?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:30

No. You have a big butt, but your your hip to waist ratio is about the same.

SPEAKER_00 1:02:35

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:36

Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:37

If we cut off your butt.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:38

Yeah, if we cut my butt off. Don't cut my butt off.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:40

But as far as like an hourglass shape, no.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:43

Okay.

unknown 1:02:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:02:45

Anyway, good to know. I wanted to say that. And also, I didn't notice it as much in the first one that we watched, but in Gym the Psychic, everyone's hair began to distract me.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:54

Especially Conaway, right?

SPEAKER_05 1:02:55

Every yes, and everyone has the most feathery cloud-like hair, and it's just like I a wonder that their hair doesn't just float right off their heads. And every time the Conway guy moved, his hair was just like he was constantly tossing it out of his eyes. It was so distracting.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:13

It was very in style, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:15

I kind of wanted to touch it.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:17

Yeah. Not like not in a just like.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:19

Poor Christopher Lloyd's hair.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:22

Yeah. He's uh they really they really messed his hair up over the seasons, and then he, I think, also lost it. So there was that. He was what, 40, what did I say it was, 42?

SPEAKER_05 1:03:33

Yeah, 43.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:34

He was about my age. Yeah. During that.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:37

So tell us this, tell us the plot of Jim the Psychic.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:40

I feel like you should. Okay. You're the good.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:43

So Jim the Psychic, he comes into work and he tells Judd Hirsch that he's gonna that he had a dream that he's gonna die, and he tells all the details about it, including like you're gonna meet a blonde, she's gonna fall into your lap, someone's gonna mistake you for a woman, you're gonna wear a green shirt and dance the can can.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:57

With a catcher's mask.

SPEAKER_05 1:03:59

With a catcher's mask on. Excuse me, I'm so sorry. Um, and so then everybody starts freaking out because these little things that that Jim said in his dream start to come true, and then they are all worried about him.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:10

Mm-hmm. There's also a little side plot going on with uh Louie and and uh Lacka.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:17

Where is Tony Danza's name Louie?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:19

I mean, I'm sorry. Um what's his face? Tony Danza. Yeah, Tony.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:26

Oh, his name's Tony?

SPEAKER_01 1:04:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:28

Um they were like, this is the perfect name for you. We're gonna keep it.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:32

Locke's not allowed to talk.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:34

Um Locka has to be silent, so he's He's got a bunch of cue cards for everyone else to read.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:42

Yes. I love how he draws. He's just like, hi, hi, Alex.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:49

Oh, and then but I think he's cheating when he records himself.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:52

I was wondering that.

SPEAKER_05 1:04:53

Yeah, because he talked.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:54

I'm wondering if they maybe. I'm surprised Tony didn't call him on that. Especially given he was trolling him the whole time. But he draws like a like a like a mule's behind.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:04

Oh, horses A S S.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:06

That's what it was. He has the card that says now. That's the only other card. The only card he has for Tony was hi Tony. A picture of a horse's uh behind and now now.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:20

Um I do want to say something about Judd Hirsch that's gonna sound mean.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:24

Oh no.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:25

He looks like a Muppet. Doesn't he?

SPEAKER_00 1:05:30

Yeah, I guess so.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:31

But he's aged really well. I think he looks best now.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:37

Best now at 90 years old?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:39

Yeah, he looks great.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:40

He does look good.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:41

And he's his he grew into his face.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:44

And he was uh did I already say he was gooey in Uncut Gyms?

SPEAKER_05 1:05:47

I don't think he did.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:48

The only redeeming character in that whole movie.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:50

And that gets wronged, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:52

Ugh, I don't ever want to watch that again. I hated that movie.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:56

I did. I did not hate it.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:58

Uh but anyway, Judd Hirsch. He's a great actor.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:01

He is. Yeah. Um that scene.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:04

So then at the end, when all the final like prophecies of Jim's dream are coming true, and Danny DeVito's goes to his apartment.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:11

Danny DeVito was on fire in that episode.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:14

He had to burn a lot of calories. They were both sweating. Like you could see them, like actually sweating.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:20

He was going insane. Like when he picks up the phone and he gets mistaken as a for a woman. Like, do I sound like I'm married to you? And then Devito's like.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:32

And he's just like running around the room like just having a panic attack.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:35

Is it just the um the time?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:38

The physical comedy in that's great.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:40

Is it just the time or or were things from that era just it feels very play-like?

SPEAKER_01 1:06:47

Yes. Well, they're in front of a live studio audience, too. Which you don't see a whole lot of in the case.

SPEAKER_05 1:06:51

Yes, that's true.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:52

I didn't know that, but can you that would have been can you imagine to be like in the crowd where they're filming one of those like classics?

SPEAKER_05 1:06:58

You would be cracking up because isn't it funny when you go to like a comedy show? Oh yeah. They're always funny when you watch them on Netflix, but they're 20 times funnier in real life. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:06

There's something to that. Yeah, that's um excuse me. Uh yeah, I just wrote, I just oh yeah. When Louie's on the chain, he's hanging on the chain. He's hanging on that chain, like the door lock chain.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:22

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:22

When they unlock the door at 7 o'clock to not uh let the uh deaf in.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:27

Grim Reaper.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:28

Yeah, but it ends up being uh Girl Scout and he screams at her.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:32

And she screams.

SPEAKER_01 1:07:33

But he's hanging on that chain. I swear he's he hung on to that chain for like three minutes. Even after she left. He's still hanging on the chain when he's talking about how sugar cookies are his favorite. No, that was great. That was a good episode.

SPEAKER_05 1:07:47

Not a not actually a lot of gem in it, but uh I will say I wrote on this that a lot of the show, you're just thinking like when you watch old stuff, that it's like seems super dated and stuff, but this does not feel very dated to me. Like the of course, like what they're wearing and stuff, but like their jokes feel incredibly relevant stuff. So like as I was thinking that and writing it down, then they cut to the scene where they're all drinking beer, but the one woman is drinking water, and I was like, well, maybe not.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:13

I can't remember if she's like sober.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:16

Well, she drinks beer in the next episode, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:17

So I did catch that.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:20

Yeah, that was a good one. All right.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:22

Do you want to move on to uh Space

Taxi: Reverend Jim Space Odyssey Episode Discussion

SPEAKER_01 1:08:24

Odyssey?

SPEAKER_05 1:08:24

Sure. So in that one, I'm presuming they did there was an episode where he married that we that we didn't see. Okay, but they he wasn't he was just like.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:34

He was in at least one other episode, if not two other episodes.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:37

So he was just head guest appeared in in those?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:39

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:40

Okay, so do you think they just really liked him and decided to bring him on?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:42

Yeah, I don't know the full story, but I'd like to So this episode is basically the onboarding of Jim to There was another character in the first season, um, but they just like throw it through it out, kind of like in uh Parks and Wreck with the the City Planner guy.

SPEAKER_05 1:08:57

Oh yeah, I forgot about that guy. Yeah, I don't know. He's kind of sticking in the mud guy, right?

SPEAKER_01 1:09:00

Yeah. I don't remember this guy's name. I think uh I don't know. I hope he's doing well.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:04

Anyway, so this uh the last one we watched was called Reverend Jim Space Odyssey, is that right? Reverend Jim Space Odyssey, which is a hilarious name for that episode.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:15

Um You know Jim's like wealthy, like his father's like super rich.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:19

No.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:20

Do you find that out?

SPEAKER_01 1:09:20

His name's not even his last name isn't even Ignowski. It's like Igwitalski. It's like like he just made it up because it's he said it was the backwards version of like something.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:30

Something it's not the backwards version of So he must have been on a previous episode where he married Lotka.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:37

Lotka and uh and the woman. The lady from Star Trek. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:09:41

And so then anyway, so he comes in while they're at the what's the name of the restaurant? Mario's. They're getting they're just drinking beer, which it looks so delicious. But they don't eat anything in there. I want him that I want to see their eating. Beers. They offer to buy him a beer or to have him sit with them. Anyway, my question, so then they decide that they're gonna help him like he get his life straightened out, and they think it's a good idea for this man to drive a cab.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:08

Well, they have a whole bit about that. Where they're like, well, he doesn't have any skills, he doesn't have a big thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:14

Well, he should be a cab driver. But then like then they take him to do the driving test, and that literally was oh, oh, they openly they're openly drugging people. He drugs Louie.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:26

Qua loots. I'm pretty sure it was Quaulutes. They sing Moonlight Bay. And that was like a huge scene. It's a very long scene. Where they're all like you wouldn't see that in a show anymore.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:37

No way.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:37

The drugging first of all, no way. Just casual drug use.

SPEAKER_05 1:10:40

And they're like, What'd you put in there? And he was like, Could have been a tricklet, could have been a tranquilizer. And they're all like, okay. And then they just let him drink it. But then they'll twice.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:50

Yeah. And then it's like a five-minute musical scene. Like they're just like, they're all singing together in harmony, and then it's kind of like, okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:11:00

And they'd be like, put him off to sleep, and then they get him to because he doesn't want to hire Jim. Louie doesn't. And then they get him to agree to hire him. So then the next scene is them at the DMV, I guess, right? He doesn't even have a license.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:12

Well, I was gonna I wanted to back up back up a little bit and just just give a quick shout out to um Locka's role in this one, where he gets lost in Harlem and he ends up going to a bar. And he's just like talking jive the whole rest of the Well, and the the scene where Danny DeVito's singing to him. And the stuff the stuff that he says that has nothing to do with with what he says from the uh words he picked up in Harlem, but where he's talking to Jim, and Jim's like, I have no idea what the uh no, I don't remember a wedding or whatever. And then and then Locke's like, and he's like, Oh yeah. I mean, those kind of jokes just freaking kill me. They're so they're so predictable.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:00

I rarely laugh out loud even when I think something's funny, and I did laugh out loud a few different times. The driving the driving test, which I know you keep trying to talk about, well was but but right before that I said Danny DeVito singing his singing or talking to Lekka about fixing the taxi and that like that whole back and forth where he's like kind of talking to him really sweetly because he's on drugs. Oh yeah. There's something about that that was killing me too.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:25

DeVito's great. I mean he's excellent.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:28

Yeah, so then they take Jim to the DMV. They all go with him. He doesn't even have a driver's license.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:34

Yeah, I guess not.

unknown 1:12:36

I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 1:12:37

Sounds like there's a lot standing in the way of him becoming a cab driver, but it's just TV, I guess. Suspends.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:42

He says he did a lot of drugs. Yeah. She's like, or she's like, he's like, you wouldn't guess how many drugs I did. She's like, uh a lot. He's like, right on the nose. I love the uh they also in that season they also had the freezing screen. Like at the end of the scene, freezes. And then it transitions. Like, I missed that. That's that's cool. I think they got rid of them later, later ones. But anyways, yeah, so they're at the uh he's taking the test, filling out the forms.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:12

Helping him remembering his name and his height, and then he's like 5'9, and they're like, Yeah, that sounds great. And then he says, earth weight, your earth weight.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:22

I was like, I think they want John Hirsch is like, or Alex is like, I think they're looking for earth weight.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:26

He slams his hands on the counter and he's like, earthweight.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:35

He's just like so bad and exasperated that they that he that that was just the application form.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:42

I thought it was the test. So then when he takes the test and he keeps saying, What's a yellow light mean? Oh my god. And he keeps saying slow down. And I mean they did it like six times.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:53

Yeah. That's I mean, honestly, that's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_05 1:13:56

I said I love the commitment to the yellow light gag.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:00

It that it was just the perfect amount. I think, honestly, I think it was four times.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:04

Four, but still, I thought two times was all they were gonna do.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:07

Yeah, I did too, which was hilarious. Like, okay, the first time I was like, ha ha ha, yeah, that's pretty funny. Second time you're like, okay. And then what but a fourth time I mean, I was I was crying, which that's not really saying much. I cry laughing a lot, but but I was laughing out loud. You were too, and that's what really got my attention because and I had seen I've seen that episode like three times. So like I knew it was coming.

SPEAKER_05 1:14:34

What was funny to me was that he just kept and he was like, Wha Cause he would say, What does the yellow light mean? And then the guy would answer, slow down. So then, of course, he's interpreting that to mean ask your question slower. So then he says it, what does the yellow light mean slower? And he does that three more times. And by the time like they just they end the show and he's still screaming. What yeah, I would fully I would watch more of those. I could see myself totally falling in love with some of those characters.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:06

Yeah, there's there's some great there are some really, really good other episodes. Um, like I said, Jim. Jim's probably my favorite, but there's there's awesome, awesome stuff in there. And you know, I can't get enough Bob James. There were uh they won. I did have notes. I just put them at the bottom. I was looking at the top. Whoops. Whoops. Whoopsie dough. Won a bunch of Emmys. It won uh 18 Emmys.

SPEAKER_05 1:15:29

Wow, that's a handful of Emmys.

SPEAKER_01 1:15:40

SPEAKER_05 1:16:29

It's a Chicago base or dinosaurs in it, we didn't watch it.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:34

That was a rule.

SPEAKER_05 1:16:35

Where well what where would you put Indiana Jones? Um We watched a lot of that too.

SPEAKER_01 1:16:40

I would put that it depends on the on the Indiana Jones.

Rancid & And Out Come the Wolves Discussion

SPEAKER_01 1:17:04

Okay, we're talking about uh Rancid.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:06

We are. Tell me about Rancid, because I know just about nothing about that band.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:13

Honestly, I don't I I never I was never a big Rancid fan. I what I mean to say is they have like I think they have like ten albums.

SPEAKER_05 1:17:24

What kind of music are they? Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:17:28

Um definitely punk. Punk, you could say maybe some third wave ska. Operation Ivy was the band that Tim Armstrong is the is a singer and he plays rhythm guitar and the songwriter of most of the songs. Um Matt Freeman was a bass player. Those two dudes came from Operation Ivy. Okay. They were in that band together in the late 80s. Um they started Rancid. They started Rancid and I think and Outcome the Wolves was what? Gosh, it was like their third or fourth album. It came out in 95. And uh I think Rancid maybe started in 91, I think. And I don't know why, but I just listened to the crap out of this album. I don't even know how I got it. I probably bought it in like a used bin or something. And um I I liked so Did you buy a lot of stuff from used bins? I bought a lot of used CDs. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:25

Whenever people like trade them in and stuff.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:28

Yeah, you go open it up, make sure they don't have scratches on them, and buy them for like dollars. Next, you know, yeah, exactly. It's like two dollars or something. Like I think I I think I got regulate G Funk era for like two dollars.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:39

So when they got snapped, it wasn't a big cost.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:42

Yeah, it was that big. You were not a lot of money.

SPEAKER_05 1:18:46

Um Love you, Terry.

SPEAKER_01 1:18:48

I love you. Uh so no, but I knew I did know Rancid. I think I got the album because I liked that Roots Radical, Time Bomb was on there, um, Ruby Soho. You would probably know at least a couple of those songs. You probably actually know all of them because I'm sure I've played them at the time.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:06

We've listened to them like on road trips and stuff, yeah. That's that's been the only time I've ever listened to Rancid, though.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:12

Yeah, and honestly, I I've listened to And Out Come the Wolves, I don't know, a million times. I've never listened to another Rancid album. Did you say In and Out Come the Wolves? And In and Out Come the Wolves. And Out Come the Wolves is the uh is the name of the album.

SPEAKER_05 1:19:27

That's what happens on a rainy day if you have a dog. In and out come the wolves.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:32

That's a deep cut, right?

SPEAKER_02 1:19:34

That's good.

SPEAKER_01 1:19:35

Um but I I um I I love I like I like I'm not a big I'm not a big punk guy. I mean, I like some punk here and there. I hated all the kind of the I was crapping on Blink 182 the other day or a few episodes ago. Like no outright disrespect. I'm not saying they suck or anything, but that whole that like early 90s. Early 2000s punk kind of like alien ant farm that kind of I hated that stuff.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:04

Uh I wasn't Blink 182 out in the late 90s.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:08

Yeah, they were out in the late 90s. I have a memory of driving to uh they're not all it's not that I hate 'em, hate 'em, but I mean, it seemed like everybody I knew loved them. So they sing all the stuff. Uh yeah. Okay. Yeah. So, but anyways, Rancid is a bit more. I'm not going to pretend to be a punk expert, but a little harder. It's a kind of well, sort of, but not really. Honestly, they're very they're they're super. Yeah, they are definitely harder than Blink 182, but they got a lot of melody to them. They got a lot, like Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:20:43

Well, after I listened to the song that we did, I was like, I think I might like this.

SPEAKER_01 1:20:47

Yeah, and and Matt. Like more of it. The bass player is I adore him. He he's phen phenomenal. I mean, like, there's something about the way he plays. It's Matt Freeman. I'm almost positive it's Matt Freeman. He um He plays it's he doesn't play, there's nothing against playing, you know, root notes on a bass or whatever. But he plays like it's almost he's playing like a counter melody to every song. Like he's always doing something really interesting.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:14

Yeah, he's a yeah. Well, I mean, just based on how long it took me to figure that out on the piano and play it and make sure I didn't screw it up.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:20

And it was a really it was an interesting bass line. There was nothing, there was nothing just kind of in the box about it. It was uh what are you uh what are you looking up right now?

SPEAKER_05 1:21:31

Nothing.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:31

Oh, you text him?

SPEAKER_05 1:21:32

I'm taking notes. I told you I'd be taking instant notes.

SPEAKER_01 1:21:35

He's got a uh he's got a a a bass solo on um what is his first song on there? Maxwell Murder? Murder for hire, or what I can't remember the name of the song, Maxwell something. But he's he plays a bass solo, and then it's bass solos can be hit or miss for me. Yeah, this is a sick one.

SPEAKER_05 1:21:53

Did you ever talk to um our our buddy Seth about it?

SPEAKER_01 1:21:56

Uh I think we've talked about Ransa before. Yeah, I think he's a I think he's a fan.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:00

How could he not be?

SPEAKER_01 1:22:01

Yeah, he he got a ladybug on your arm. Oh, look at that. Well, hey buddy. This is a gentle flick, folks. You didn't see me kill anything. It's gentle.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:11

Audience won't like it. That's what they're here for. So ladybug murder.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:16

Um but old friend is probably my favorite song on that album.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:23

And I figured In and Out Go the Wolves. In and Out Go the Wolves, yeah. And I figured we could do it. Because it's relatively simple.

SPEAKER_05 1:22:32

Yeah, we did. We did do it.

SPEAKER_01 1:22:34

We did fine. We did. No, but what I mean is like I could cover it, okay. We could have done time bomb or something. But uh, yeah, I like I like uh Tim Armstrong had Hellcat Records records, which they did uh Hepcat stuff. Wow. So this Tim Armstrong's super prolific. Like he's he's been in everything for a long time. No, I mean they have some reggae roots. They're they they're technically considered third wave ska. Ska. But they're very first wave sound. They they yeah, they're Hapcat, if I haven't mentioned it before, is one of my favorite bands of all time. Um we'll talk about that. We'll we'll do a Hebcat song.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:21

You should.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:22

Are we am I cool enough?

SPEAKER_01 1:23:24

Am I?

SPEAKER_05 1:23:25

You're way cooler than me.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:27

That's not true.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:27

Yes, it is.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:28

No, I just feel a different beat than you do.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:30

Well cool beat.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:33

You're just a little um I don't know, regulated West Jamaican than me. Slightly.

SPEAKER_05 1:23:42

Um so I would like I don't can you tell me what that song's about?

Old Friend Song Structure & Chord Progression

SPEAKER_01 1:23:48

Old Friend?

SPEAKER_05 1:23:49

Yeah. Because I I was super duper into the bass line and did not pay one single bit of attention to the lyrics for the verses.

SPEAKER_01 1:23:56

I don't uh I don't really know exactly what it's about. It's I mean, first of all, they talk about Cleveland a lot. You know, it's uh kind of funny. Um I like the line Cleveland, I should have stayed inside. Which if you're from there, uh you may take offense.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:16

Um Or if you have to go there every other year for holiday and it always snows eight inches.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:22

Which is nothing for Cleveland.

SPEAKER_05 1:24:24

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:25

Um I think it's about loneliness.

SPEAKER_04 1:24:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:24:28

I think it's just being lonely on the road and uh what for about the first ten years of me listening to that album, which I got in high school, I used to think it was this is how little I paid attention to lyrics. I thought it was good morning, honey.

SPEAKER_03 1:24:42

Good morning, honey. You like an old friend?

SPEAKER_01 1:24:46

So clearly I wasn't listening. Um but no, it's I think it's just about loneliness on the road and and just you know, making making friends and leaving them and regrets and being poor and and but still making do and keep moving on and all that all that. I mean it's kind of like a I was gonna talk about turn the page a little bit as a potential B side. It's got a little bit of that feel to it.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:14

I don't like it when you give away those before it's time.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:16

It's not the one I'm choosing though, so I can.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:19

We always have to weed through all of Rob's non-choices before he gives us his choices.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:24

We have categories on this show that we like to showcase. We're not quite there yet, though.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:28

I have a question for you about the recording process that we just sloughed through.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:34

Mm-hmm. Um A lot of that though was us figuring out we only had what three takes?

SPEAKER_05 1:25:40

Yeah. A lot of it was just rehearsing and then and then doing it.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:42

Yeah, we were just trying to figure out what we wanted to do.

SPEAKER_05 1:25:45

Do you like this? Playing music? Oh recording it still? Because I know that was like a thing that when we first set out to do this.

SPEAKER_01 1:25:55

It was kind of a um Yeah, so like it let me let me the short answer is absolutely. Uh it's very fulfilling. Perfect. I'm getting a lot out of it. I get a lot out of it in a million different ways. Um I could elaborate if you'd like. But it is it's it's hard. Like the whole thing is really hard.

SPEAKER_05 1:26:19

Like, do you ever just want to be like, why we should just nah, we don't need a song this week.

SPEAKER_01 1:26:23

Yeah, I do. But I'm always no, that's the one like that's the one thing about this show that actually has consistency. And it's honestly the thing I like the most the most. I like having songs. I like like when we did Girl is mine and I screwed up the way it recorded, so we had to redo it, I was just thinking, oh my gosh, it took me forever to learn that. But then we sat down and just banged it out after a few weeks of never playing it. I was like, that's cool, that's what I want. I want to have songs that I can play. Number one, learning the song structure. Like, I've been I've been getting better at like when solo or when doing improv stuff at working chords into my into my uh I don't know. Your skill sets are improving. Yeah, my skill sets are improving, my rhythm's getting better, my ear is way better. How I give instructions and receive them is getting better, even though you may have a slight hesitation with agreeing with that.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:19

I would never disagree with that.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:20

At the very least, I've I've recognized that that is a skill that is worth acquiring, and I'm working on it. Um as far as the editing and the production and all that is just Yeah, you're yeah, I have no idea about any of that.

SPEAKER_05 1:27:34

Uh nor do I want to.

SPEAKER_01 1:27:37

Just finding, you know, the substitutions for like, okay, well, this has a obviously the lack of drums is a poses an interesting when when we when I first when I first had the idea, hey, let's do a podcast where at the end of every one we do a cover of a song. My thought was you're gonna sing and play acoustic to country songs. I'm just gonna jam and make solos and fillers on them. We did that once, I think. And then ever since we've just been doing full productions of covers, which has been great. Like honestly, this is yes, I do very much enjoy it. It it just is, it's it's really stressful because we have six million other things going on. If this was our job, yeah, I would love to.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:21

We could never have done this at any other point in our marriage.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:24

No, no, no, no. Because of children. Early on.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:27

No, I don't think we could. We weren't the people we are.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:30

I thought I was busy when I couldn't watch six episodes of Lost in a Row.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:35

Or like the one day the when I discovered Lost and I watched two by myself, and then you came home and I was like, oh, we gotta watch this together, and then I rewatched those two with you, and then we watched like four more.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:44

Was Caroline around for that?

SPEAKER_05 1:28:45

Yeah, she was a baby.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:46

Yeah, she was uh that was what we that's when she'd just sit on your lap.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:49

Yeah, we could just watch stuff while she yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:51

Occasionally you have to stop and wipe the poop off of your whatever she just exploded on.

SPEAKER_05 1:28:56

Well, thanks for thanks for answering those questions for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:28:58

Yeah, good question. Um what do you think about so this let me just rip through this real quick. Okay. Old Friend was uh released on out and out come the wolves in 1995, uh written by Tim Armstrong, Lars Fredericson, and Matt Freeman. Lars is the I think he plays the that guitar solo on it. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:19

Um I feel like that would have to be the person that plays the one with the guitar solo. His name is Lars.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:25

Yeah. Well, most one of the most famous Lars is a drummer.

unknown 1:29:29

Wow.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:30

Um produced by Jerry Finn, Peak Chart 45 on Billboard 200. I didn't realize it was even on the billboard. I thought it was kind of a deeper cut, but so it got gold status for that. Uh and you got Brett Reed on the drums. I should give give him some uh some love. And Blast Hem was the B side, the official B side for this.

SPEAKER_05 1:29:51

I don't know that.

SPEAKER_01 1:29:52

Um Do you want to talk about covers? Sure, yeah. I do you want to talk about the structure of the song before we get into covers? Tell me about the structure of the song.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:04

Well, it has the intro and the interlude or in the minor. You start in the two. Oh yeah. Okay, yeah, yeah. So that's a little different. Yeah. To start in the minor two. What what is what are the chords?

SPEAKER_01 1:30:18

It's uh here.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:20

It's B minor. Then what?

SPEAKER_01 1:30:23

For the intro?

SPEAKER_05 1:30:24

Yeah. It's minor.

SPEAKER_00 1:30:30

Um uh D, right? D. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:37

What's that? Just goes back and forth between B minor and D?

SPEAKER_00 1:30:41

And then go and then A.

SPEAKER_05 1:30:47

Okay. Yeah. So that is different. That's that is a more unique way to start a song. It's still all within the key of A, but then they typically you would start like the in a yeah, in the A.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:01

The uh, well, so when they go into the the So the chorus. The chorus is first, and the verses, and they're all the same chord progression. They're just um what would you say, half time not half time, but um so the chorus is chorus four beats, and uh and then yes, there's two on the other ones.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:22

And then the verses da da da da yeah boom, boom, boom.

SPEAKER_03 1:31:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:27

So that chord progression, which you could tell me what that is, what's a one what's E to the A? Five five two F sharp minor.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:37

Four and then five six four.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:41

That is uh that is like I know you know this, an incredibly common chord progression.

SPEAKER_04 1:31:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:31:51

Because so that you remember when I said I wanted to do a mashup of No Woman, no cry, bell bottom blues.

SPEAKER_05 1:31:59

Yeah, and are they all three in the same?

SPEAKER_01 1:32:01

And uh that Justin Bieber song.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:05

You should go love yourself. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:06

Those are all those all basically use that. Do some variation to this. Uh and then you have Let It Be. Um, you have uh I'm yours, Jason Morales. Oh yeah. Uh there's I mean it's a really great song. It is a good song. There's there there's so many songs that I think I actually have a list somewhere, but I'm not gonna pause the show to make you make you look at them. Um I think there's a might be a well pokerface does that too. A Lady Gaga.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:32:34

Old Crow Medicine Show, John Denver.

SPEAKER_05 1:32:37

SPEAKER_05 1:33:25

Anchored Michaelson's dad's gonna come for us.

SPEAKER_01 1:33:27

He's coming for us hard. No, I'm not doing them well enough to be uh busted for copyright. Um but sick chord progression. I love this chord progression. It's uh feels good. I love it almost as much as the 50s chord progression that I keep screwing up in our theme songs.

SPEAKER_05 1:33:42

You seem to love so much you can't get it right. All right, cover, cover me.

Old Friend Covers Discussion

SPEAKER_01 1:33:47

SPEAKER_05 1:33:50

I didn't know so. If I need to do that, you need to tell me. How about we just decide who we want to hear cover it? Do you have an unknown award?

SPEAKER_01 1:34:00

I don't really have an unknown award because everybody had over 50,000 views, and that's kind of my cutoff for unknowns.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:07

Wow. Um So we're we're winning our own unknown awards. We we have a new subscriber. We have 19 now.

Um we got that token mentioned out of the way. Big D, uh Big D and the kids Big D and the Kids Table? Or the children's Big D and the Kids Table, I think was the name the name of one cover I listened to.

SPEAKER_05 1:34:49

That sounds like someone related to that list that you read at the beginning. That's a cool Keith. Pee-Pee underpants or whatever.

SPEAKER_01 1:34:57

Underwear piss it, Nickel Keith? Underwear piss.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:00

What'd you say?

SPEAKER_01 1:35:01

Cool Keith.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:02

Yeah, but what was the one?

SPEAKER_01 1:35:05

Dr. Arthur. No. No. Nope. You said it. It's a if it's a lot, if we're allowed to say it in our house in front of our kids, we're allowed to say it on the air.

SPEAKER_05 1:35:16

Our kids say it more than we do. I should never have said that either.

SPEAKER_01 1:35:20

Uh that was kind of cool. So all the covers I listened to were very much in the style of Rancid. Which is good and bad. I was kind of hoping there'd be some. Honestly, we were probably the furthest removed from the covers I listened to. And I listened to one, two, three, four, five, six different versions. Tim Ty Tim Time Bomb and Friends. Um had a melodica on it. It was an acoustic guitar and a melodica. But it was very punk in the vocals. Um Jen Fort Fiorentino, she did an acoustic guitar. Eh, it was fine. Um, she's good.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:05

She's why mention her then?

SPEAKER_01 1:36:07

Because I I watched it. Oh. It just it didn't, it wouldn't, it didn't blow me away. Okay. If I was okay, if I was in a like a bar and she was on stage and she busted out the song, I would have like talked to her afterward. I'd be like, Hey, great too.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:21

I have a wife.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:23

I'm not supposed to be talking to you. My wife would kill us both. You especially slowly. But great. I love that screen. Great cover. That's just um no, it was fine. She she did fine. It was just nothing. I thought she was maybe do something a little different. Matt Freeman, I watched just him playing the bass on it. Um it was great. Like you could really, you know, it's way louder. Kind of similar to the guy who did the drums on Little Talks who I mentioned.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:49

Um Warriors. Not Warriors, but Warriors, like I'm Worried.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:55

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:56

Uh, they did it.

SPEAKER_05 1:36:58

Not like I'm Worr.

SPEAKER_01 1:36:59

There's a bunch of not worried. No, no. Gosh, no. It was pretty much a straight cover. It was uh female singers, but they're all singing kind of punky. And they're all everybody does the same solo and the which it's fine. It's cool, but it's not. I I just really wanted to hear something different. Brass Action was the closest to different. They did uh they had a lot of horns, and so the horns did all like the solo stuff and the the riffs and everything, but it was still punk vocals. Again, it's a punk song, so kind of expected that, but I wanted to hear I wanted to hear something a little bit different. But um uh yeah. What what do you got for uh you want to go into B sides?

SPEAKER_05 1:37:45

You didn't A, you didn't say who you wanted to hear cover it, and B, you didn't ask me who I wanted to hear cover it.

SPEAKER_01 1:37:50

That's because we haven't gotten there yet. I'm just talking about who actually covered it. Oh, the part where I always say, Hey, did you listen to any other covers? Did you listen to anybody cover this? And you for the last six episodes you said, I didn't know I was supposed to be doing that.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:08

Hey, sweet birthday, baby.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:09

If I'm supposed to do that, you're supposed to tell me I'm supposed to do that.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:12

Alright. B-sides.

Liner Notes: B-Sides, Dream Covers & Soundtrack Picks

SPEAKER_01 1:38:16

We'll get to the cover. We have dream covers. We have covers that. Explain the categories.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:26

We have who we would love to hear cover it, who we think would be cool cover, we have who we think would what a B-side that we think would be good on it. And we have a soundtrack.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:38

That we think it would be good with. We do.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:39

Do we need to have another?

SPEAKER_05 1:38:41

No, we don't need more things.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:43

I think we do.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:44

Well, we I have spoken. We do not have to.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:46

If you think we need more things, uh write in it. Audience won't like it. Not the audience won't like it.

SPEAKER_05 1:38:51

But if you want to just DM us at the audience won't like it on Instagram, go for it.

SPEAKER_01 1:38:56

Or if you want to like it, subscribe on our YouTube channel, leave a comment. It's great as well.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:01

Does Google treat the word the like it treats like periods and stuff? Um So if somebody put the audience won't like it, we'll still get it.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:11

My not for us. Because we're we're so we're so hidden on the internet at this point. It doesn't care about us. You gotta pretty much get it verbatim or put quotes around it, probably even.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:25

B-side. Who do you want? What's your B-side?

SPEAKER_01 1:39:28

My B side uh is so I went through a few. We've talked about turn the page already.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:34

Right. Bob Seeker.

SPEAKER_01 1:39:36

I kind of thought about I Ain't Mad At You by Tupac.

SPEAKER_05 1:39:40

Yeah, nothing but love for you?

SPEAKER_01 1:39:41

Yeah, do your thing, boy. I thought about that just because it he talks about like there's different stages of the lyrics where he's talking about you know, people he hooked up with and things have changed and they've gone back, but he still has love. And I'm I'm paraphrasing quite a bit, but that's sort of the gist of I Ain't Mad at You. Okay. So I thought about that first. Turn the page, I already talked about that, Bob Seeger. Um, I thought the Cleveland tourism video, you know that you know that one? The it's like a viral Yeah, it was back probably 15 years ago where Welcome. Here's a train taking the jobs from Cleveland. It's like this is Cleveland, he invented Cleveland. I John was like, Yeah, that really makes Cleveland look bad. Like, yeah. Well, you know.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:40

Cleveland, come on, Cleveland.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:43

But my B-side is Life by the Drop by Steve A Ray Vaughn.

SPEAKER_05 1:40:50

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:40:51

Um, have you heard that song?

SPEAKER_05 1:40:52

I don't have any idea. Does it have words?

SPEAKER_01 1:40:56

I'm not I'm not laughing because you haven't heard it. I'm laughing because you just you just couldn't, you just can't be bothered to even I don't think I have. You remember my choice.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:08

What's the one that he has where it sings very well?

SPEAKER_01 1:41:11

The very first words are hello there, my old friend. It's also in pretty much the exact same chord progression chord progression of this song. It's about a lot of people. I mean, I've heard two different versions of of of explanations of what it's about, but his struggle with alcoholism. It was on right right after he got sober, it was on that album, which was Sky is Crying. Yeah, I think it's on Sky is Crying. Cool. Great song, really good song. I could uh we may do it at some point. It's probably the only Stevie Ravon song I can play.

SPEAKER_05 1:41:48

Well, I chose the story by Brandy Carlisle. I do I know that all of these lines across my face tell you the story of what's Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:41:58

Oh.

unknown 1:41:59

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:00

That's how it fit.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:01

Nice. Good deal.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:02

I don't have any additional things to say about it. Nothing else to say.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:05

You don't you don't have to do that?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:05

No, I mean we're very much over our time.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:07

I would love to know what you didn't choose.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:09

Well, we're over our time, but we had to No, it was like less than ten minutes.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:13

It was a long less than ten minutes. No, it wasn't like that. It was like less than ten minutes, like almost 20 less than 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:19

Alright, um Remember how my soul starts to feel.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:22

Okay, sorry, soul. Should we do the song in the beginning? Or should we always end with this?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:28

I don't know. We should talk about that later, though. I do know that.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:33

Okay. Dream cover. You got one?

SPEAKER_05 1:42:37

So I was gonna choose Goldfinger. Oh, yeah. But it seems a little on the nose.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:42

It's fine.

SPEAKER_05 1:42:43

So the other one I kind of wanted to do, and this is kind of silly, but I thought that the Cherry Pop and Dottie's swing band would be great. Well, with the swing cover.

SPEAKER_01 1:42:54

Yeah, with the brass action. Yeah. I mean, I like the horns on the song. I mean, s punk and ska go so and swing. No, I mean.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:12

I feel like something like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:43:14

Guess yes.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:18

That part where it slows way back or or drops way out. It's talking about America.

SPEAKER_02 1:43:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:43:22

The pauses I was. I feel like that would be a great place to look at that. I don't know why. You sounded fine. So that's mine. What's yours?

SPEAKER_01 1:43:31

It's because I don't know the words, and I'm sitting there and I'm I got I'm fretting up. I'm fretting up on the ninth fret. You know that played that A-shape up there. And uh Where? Down here. Um I'm fretting and I'm I don't know the word. One thing I'm learning is it really helps to know the words. Because then you don't have to look at the page, and then you could check your neck out when you're moving around. Like these are things that I've never never thought about once in my life, because I've always just played lead guitar, and anytime I've ever played lead guitar, I'm just making stuff up. So this is completely different. I've never played this way, other than you know, the last 21 episodes.

SPEAKER_04 1:44:12

21 Z.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:12

Yeah, no, I'm starting to run out. I I'm starting to we're not gonna be able to use that as an excuse anymore. Um but uh what were we talking about?

SPEAKER_05 1:44:21

Uh you were just I I said who's your cover, but I already heard who you oh no, I didn't hear who your cover was.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:27

Uh Sublime.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:28

Oh, perfect. Yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_01 1:44:30

Number one, Sublime. Well, first of all, I love Sublime.

SPEAKER_05 1:44:33

Can he can we have did we invite him to our concert?

SPEAKER_01 1:44:35

Yeah, he's definitely coming. Okay. But did we already invite him? I think we did, yeah. Um they're awesome. Their covers are great, they're always pretty unique. Like they're always like they always capture like the essence of the song, so to speak. But they they do it really well, and it's I mean, they've covered all sorts of stuff, like tons of reggae stuff. They've covered lots of Grateful Dead stuff. Um but they they would kill this song. I would be very interested to see what they did. Um, they'd probably have some fun samples in it, and it it'd be great.

SPEAKER_05 1:45:09

I think that was a great choice. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01 1:45:11

Thank you, thank you so much. And what's his name? Bud. I think Bud Gah is the bass player. He's pretty solid. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:09

But please explain.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:10

SPEAKER_01 1:47:25

I I can I whenever I hear Carl, I I think of like a like a hair band. Um they say I saw. He's like, uh I can't remember the name of the band. He's like, Oh yeah, I saw him in '83 at the uh Philadelphia. They were awesome.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:45

I'm not saying that it's a song he would like.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:47

I gotcha. But I think about him.

SPEAKER_05 1:47:49

The song is like if he had any level of of depth, nice. That's about where it would stop.

SPEAKER_01 1:47:55
