106: Slow Boat To Madness - They slow down. The stories do not.

Episode 6 of What Were We Saying? slows things down*—*slightly.

In this very special Storytime Episode, Big Uke & Tubesox trade tales that may or may not have improved with age. Expect dramatic pauses, questionable memory recall, unnecessary detail, and at least one moment where the other host says, “wrap it up.”

Of course, the usual banter is alive and well, and “3 Things That Can Kick Rocks” returns—because even heartfelt storytelling can’t stop the weekly list of petty grievances.

It’s reflective. It’s revealing.
It’s still wildly off track.

Transcript

SPEAKER_03 0:50

Well, good evening. Or afternoon. Or morning, depending on when you're watching this. Welcome to What We're Saying episode six. Six?

SPEAKER_05 1:03

Six already.

SPEAKER_03 1:04

Holy crap. Thanks for joining us. We're excited to be here. Honestly, we're excited to be anywhere.

SPEAKER_05 1:11

That's facts.

SPEAKER_03 1:13

So I'm TubeSongs. I'm Big Uke. He's Big Uke. Behind the camera, we got The Man, the Myth of Legend. The man, the myth the legend, Edgar Lassiner. He uh we're still not really sure what his role is, but he definitely has a role.

SPEAKER_05 1:28

He shows up every week, so.

SPEAKER_03 1:30

He is here every week. And shout out to Harold Winthrop and the Silver Ashtray Orchestra, who plays us in every week. And they also play us out. They are. You know what? I think they've been uh drinking less since they've been aboard with our show because they've been drinking more, so they they finally have a home, and I think that's good for them.

SPEAKER_05 1:49

I think it is good.

SPEAKER_03 1:50

They've been loving it, we've been loving them so they've been sitting on a lot of curbs for a couple of decades just waiting for this opportunity. Anyways, we're coming to you again, as per usual, from the fifth floor of Blunderworks Studios in Sunny Downtown. Sunny downtown. And uh what uh what are we saying today, youke?

SPEAKER_05 2:10

We are going to be saying a lot of things that I thoroughly enjoy. Well, a little bit of a different episode, but we'll get to that.

SPEAKER_03 2:16

We did just finish uh episode five, which is interesting because I was recently reading some statistics, or statistics, as they say in Indiana, that 90% of this kind of thing doesn't last more than episode uh five.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

Yeah!

SPEAKER_03 2:33

And we are now this what you are watching right now six is episode six, so uh we are survivors. There you go. There's another drop-off coming soon, but I'm pretty confident that we will survive that as well because honestly, we're just doing this because we've got nothing else to do. Yeah, that's pretty much it. Success be damned. We got time, algorithm be damned, but we're still gonna be here doing it, so yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:57

But come along for the ride, it'll be fun.

SPEAKER_03 2:59

It's like a comfortable cardigan after a while. You'll start to wonder, ooh, I need to tune into Big You can tube socks because they make me feel good in a way that I can't uh can't explain, but I just like having them around.

SPEAKER_05 3:11

Accurate.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

That's about the size of it, right?

SPEAKER_05 3:14

I would say so.

SPEAKER_03 3:15

And again, another shout out to the peeps from my old Stomping Ground Ground peeps who are now in tune uh and in touch, and a few of you have reached out, and I see that a few of you are tuning into the show, so you know, tell the other peeps. Hey, TubeSocks is back and he didn't die in 1991.

SPEAKER_05 3:33

TubeSocks ain't dead, tune into his stuff.

SPEAKER_03 3:35

He's got a thing going on with his soon-to-be pal, Big Youke. Yes, we're working on it. We're getting there. Inch by inch. You know, Rome wasn't building days. It wasn't, exactly. Anything else you need to uh or you'd like to bring up before we get into the first bit of business.

SPEAKER_05 3:51

Episode five was fun. Episode six is here. We're rolling.

SPEAKER_03 3:54

Actually, episode five, I think, was one of the smoother ones we've done.

SPEAKER_05 3:56

It felt good. That one did I did enjoy that one. There was no real hiccups, except for Edgar not telling us we were actually recording at the beginning. But like us, he'll grow.

SPEAKER_03 4:05

He will grow. He is growing, he's already grown, and uh I think he just needs to stay away from the corn liquor, and he's alright.

SPEAKER_05 4:12

That that's a good life lesson for most people. Stick clear of the corn liquor.

SPEAKER_03 4:17

I mean, I'm a big corn liquor advocate, but uh Edgar I don't think can I think he had too much corn liquor function properly in a haze of corn liquor.

SPEAKER_05 4:25

His previous life before he uh stumbled onto our studio here.

SPEAKER_03 4:29

I think he hung out with the Silver Astray Orchestra for quite a while.

SPEAKER_05 4:32

No, that would make a lot of sense.

SPEAKER_03 4:33

I think I actually he he did allude to the fact that he was their manager for a spell, but what that really entails It also makes sense where they're sitting on street cars if he was their manager. Hey, there he is. All right. Okay, well, we're gonna dive right into uh into some mailbag reading. They've been great to receive. You know what? Coming in hot and heavy. We've been, I don't want to say. Hot and heavy? Yeah, nice, I appreciate that. Um I had a nickname in high school, but I'm not gonna disclose it.

SPEAKER_05 5:05

Um that's what we're saying after dark, folks.

SPEAKER_03 5:08

Hey oh. I hate to take Edgar's line, but there it is. Um since uh since about episode two, the amount of uh stuff in the mailbag is actually, again, I hate to say the word overwhelming because that's a sign of weakness. So it's actually more just whelming. It's it's been whelming and it's been welcoming and it's exciting. So but we're only gonna get to two today because we got a we got plans. So I will read, we've now created a disclaimer for the mailbag.

SPEAKER_05 5:38

This is a necessary piece of uh this is necessary because we're growing, we're getting big.

SPEAKER_03 5:44

And some of these communications are getting pretty long, and we don't want people to think that we're incompetent for not reading their stuff verbatim.

SPEAKER_05 5:52

So we're incompetent for other reasons.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

Exactly. That should be the one reason that we're not incompetent or incontinent? Uh I believe it was competent. Okay, cool. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:01

Anyways.

SPEAKER_03 6:02

Also an important detail.

SPEAKER_05 6:04

A very d specific disclaimer.

SPEAKER_03 6:07

Okay, so here's the WS disclaimer. The WS mailbag contains real letters from real viewers and listeners. Like yourselves. Some names, details, and punctuation may have been altered for dramatic effect, personal safety, length, clarity, grammar, excessive hostility, content, readability, emotional stability, and taste. And that by that I mean our taste.

SPEAKER_04 6:34

So just a couple things. So it's a small, small disclaimer.

SPEAKER_03 6:37

So if your letter doesn't sound exactly as you submitted it, that's why.

SPEAKER_04 6:42

That's why. Take it up with the track legal team.

SPEAKER_03 6:44

Exactly. And uh Big Yuke, why don't you uh dive into the WS mailbag.

SPEAKER_05 6:50

I will get into this letter we did receive. It starts out, hey fellas. That's us. We're the fellas that this fella is referring to. Love it. Sweet. Just wanted to let you know that I've now listened to all four episodes of your show.

SPEAKER_03 7:03

Oh, see, this must have come in.

SPEAKER_05 7:05

I'm assuming it came in before episode five.

SPEAKER_03 7:07

Well, there is a backlog because Well, postal service. It has been an overwhelming, not for us, but overwhelming for the delivery people to get all these saxo letters into us. Some we did receive electronically.

SPEAKER_05 7:21

There was a couple of electronic ones through the uh through the thing that didn't continue. I've now listened to all four episodes of your show. I kind of felt like I had to, so I did. Oh well, that works. I choked back the first two.

SPEAKER_03 7:34

I like also sorry, I like the uh feeling of watching out of a sense of responsibility. Right? I like that. It's like I don't want to watch this, but I feel I need to.

SPEAKER_05 7:42

I feel like I have to.

SPEAKER_03 7:43

I I this guy's solid or gal, whoever it is. I guess I'll find out. I appreciate it.

SPEAKER_05 7:49

I kind of felt like I had to, so I did. I choked back the first two like a fine bottle of R, and the next two felt a bit better. Now I find myself anxiously tapping my finger, waiting for the next one. I couldn't help but notice that not even once did you remind your listeners to change their furnace filters. It's quite commonly overlooked and moderately important. The best thing to do is pick a memorable day of the year. I don't suggest your birthday or Christmas, because nobody wants to do stuff like that on a fun day.

SPEAKER_03 8:15

I fully agree.

SPEAKER_05 8:16

Uh, you guys should pick a day like Victoria Day or Labor Day.

SPEAKER_03 8:19

How about Arbor Day?

SPEAKER_05 8:21

That's a day. That gets overlooked. Maybe that could be a segment idea for the show, he says. Anywho. It probably won't be, but I love that. Anywho. Anywho.

SPEAKER_03 8:30

It's very comfortable.

SPEAKER_05 8:31

Keep doing what you're doing. I'll admit, I was entertained. Cheers. D-Rock.

SPEAKER_03 8:36

D-Rock.

SPEAKER_05 8:37

D-Rock!

SPEAKER_03 8:38

Wow, that's so cool.

SPEAKER_05 8:40

Right? It's a cool cat.

SPEAKER_03 8:42

I should I i you know, if I was not to go by my real name, maybe I'd call myself T Rock. T-Rock. But I go with the fully formal tube socks because that's your name. I don't want to besmirch uh the family history. The family. But yeah, D-Rock. That's pretty that's pretty cool.

SPEAKER_05 8:58

Appreciate that, D-Rock. I like that. Thanks for checking out. We will uh try to make it so you don't have to scarf down a bottle and watch us, but if you do and you still watch, hey, it's a win-win.

SPEAKER_03 9:07

Okay, I've uh what you got? Well, I've got a letter as well. Again, we're only doing two today. Uh dear, what were we saying? I feel compelled to say this. Big Uke's bunch of stuff on Best Poolside Cocktails was inspiring, but I do have an issue.

SPEAKER_05 9:25

Uh oh.

SPEAKER_03 9:26

It was a great list, by the way.

SPEAKER_05 9:28

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

I listened to that segment while folding laundry on a Tuesday. Uh-huh. By item three, I had ice in a glass. By item five, I was, quote, just seeing if we had any lines.

SPEAKER_06 9:41

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 9:42

By the honorable mention, I was on my patio in February wearing a toque, a hoodie, and declaring my driveway technically pool adjacent.

SPEAKER_05 9:50

I mean, frozen snow snow is just frozen water.

SPEAKER_03 9:53

Right? My consumption habits have shifted, not dramatically, just seasonally inappropriate. Well, it's inappropriate. I like where this is going, though. Again, this is not a complaint. Big Youth painted such a vivid picture of poolside energy. I feel obligated to meet him halfway with a blender and poor decision making.

SPEAKER_05 10:12

That's my type of party.

SPEAKER_03 10:14

So thank you for the content. It's aspirational, it's vivid, it's mildly irresponsible in the best way. Five stars, brackets slightly damp. Ingmar, who now refers to his backstep as the cabana.

SPEAKER_05 10:30

The cabana.

SPEAKER_03 10:31

Ingmar, we got like some Nordic viewers now.

SPEAKER_05 10:33

Ingmar.

SPEAKER_03 10:35

Maybe this guy's been watching the Olympics and heard our Olympic thing. Our Olympic thing.

SPEAKER_05 10:41

Again, one of my lists. Yeah, it doesn't say where he's from, but Ingmar is Clearly somewhere where it's not sunny in February.

SPEAKER_03 10:50

Exactly. So I like to think that Ingmar is somewhere in a Nordic region, which is I like that. That's great.

SPEAKER_05 10:58

The cabana for the background.

SPEAKER_03 11:00

Good job, Ingmar, and thanks for tuning in because you know we're doing this for you. For you.

SPEAKER_05 11:05

And you and you and you and you back there. Wow. I don't know about that guy.

SPEAKER_03 11:12

That's letters. Yeah, man, it's just keep sending them. Also, sorry about you know not getting to the uh the other ones. The ones, the others. Uh we'll catch up. You know, maybe one day we'll have an all mailbag episode, although Hey, anything's possible.

SPEAKER_05 11:26

It's our show.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

It's piling up, it's getting backlogged.

SPEAKER_05 11:29

There's only two of us. Edgar doesn't help, so.

SPEAKER_03 11:32

He can't read the mail. Well, he probably can. I don't think he can read.

SPEAKER_05 11:36

Nobody wants him to. I don't think he can read. I'm pretty confident about that.

SPEAKER_03 11:39

So this episode, while you are watching it, this man is either poolside or on a beach or somewhere tarps off, showing it all off. So because of the short turnaround time on prep, we've decided to make this a uh very special episode.

SPEAKER_05 12:01

Some would say a heartfelt episode?

SPEAKER_03 12:04

I would not say that. Um and this also actually kind of comes from a theme we've been seeing in our viewer and listener mail in the WS mailbag. That people are wanting to uh peel back the curtain a bit, peel back the layers of YouTube socks and ogres. We have layers. Get to know a little more about us.

SPEAKER_05 12:25

So Yeah, we're gonna just and I think this is something that you know as we progress in the in the episode count, we'll we'll dive into a bit more of a not behind the scenes, but like you said, behind the curtain of who we are, you know? So our our past.

SPEAKER_03 12:43

Yes, and you know what makes us tick, as they say.

SPEAKER_05 12:46

Something like that.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

So it'll be a bit of a It's a bit of a departure as we're gonna reveal a little bit about ourselves tonight. A little bit about ourselves. And this did come a lot from people asking who the hell is it? This is mainly listener-driven. Why am I watching this? Why do I care about you? This is why you care about us. Who are you? Why are you? So here's a little bit about us today.

SPEAKER_05 13:06

So we're getting into some of the stuff.

SPEAKER_03 13:07

So we're getting into a little bit of a we call it story time kind of thing. Well, yeah, story time. Get getting to know us.

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Hello, what were we stories?

SPEAKER_03 13:14

So we'll start off with, I mean, being that this isn't a sports show.

SPEAKER_05 13:17

Not a sports show. Don't get into it.

SPEAKER_03 13:19

This man always brings sports up.

SPEAKER_05 13:21

I'd like you bringing up monkeys, I bring up sports.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Yes. So we're gonna go into a little bit of a almost a parlor game here. You play at a party. So do you l uh tell us a little about your you know your sportsingness, uh, whether it's sports, or you have a a sports story that you'd like to share with one of my the viewers and I'll sit back and one of my kind of favorite sports stories uh is from when I was uh a wee lad playing minor hockey.

SPEAKER_05 13:50

And uh I wasn't a you know generational talent by any means.

SPEAKER_03 13:56

Uh tell yourself, sure. It was more of a just it's maybe it's still to come.

SPEAKER_05 14:00

He's on the team because we don't have enough to make cuts kind of thing. And uh one season I think we would have been fourteen years old, probably that era.

SPEAKER_03 14:12

Uh that's a cute age.

SPEAKER_05 14:14

Right? I wasn't very cute, but we were a decent age team. What when I was 14?

SPEAKER_03 14:20

No, I no, I was cute at 14, I'm just saying. Oh, okay. Your story or my story? No, it's your story. I'm just trying to, you know, setting the stage.

SPEAKER_05 14:27

So there we go. We found more about Tube Sox he was coming out of the book. I was adorable at 14. Well, adorable or cute.

SPEAKER_03 14:33

I'll have to consult the the people from the old uh stomping ground. Anyway, so we'll chime in.

SPEAKER_05 14:39

We weren't a very good hockey team, but yeah, we were we were decent. I had Was this in your hometown? This was in my hometown, in my old stomping ground.

SPEAKER_03 14:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 14:47

And I was a forward this this season, and I I struggled doing the thing that most hockey players try to do, which is score goals. And uh made it through the entire season without without potting one.

SPEAKER_03 15:03

Well, that's perseverance, right? You kept you kept kept on keping on.

SPEAKER_05 15:07

I kept on kept on and I wasn't good at doing that, but I vividly remember we were in Vagarville for our last game regular season.

SPEAKER_03 15:15

Like Reveal.

SPEAKER_05 15:16

Right? Out in that's not it wasn't a home game. But we were out in Vagarville. I don't know why it's important that we were there, but it just is because that's how I tell the story. And like we were, you know, we kind of locked up our playoff seating and all that, so it was kind of just a a nothing game. The only goal was trying to get me a goal. And I remember for the last like four minutes of the game, I was just planted in front of the net, and people were trying to do everything to at least get it to go off. And hard to move from in front of the net. Oh, I was I was planted like a sequoia, not going nowhere. And it was just he doesn't need to shoot the puck in the net, it just needs to go off of him. Right. So he gets credited for the goal.

SPEAKER_03 15:56

People are shooting the puck off of you. Trying to. Deflect it off of you.

SPEAKER_05 16:01

Just needs to go off his ass like a Yanmark. Just get it in the net somehow. And I didn't. So went the entire season. I think we probably played like 40 some games, 30 some games. Didn't score a goal. Playoff start, whatever, round one, no goals. Get into the whatever. We're playing for third at that point. And this was a two-game series. And uh we're in our home barn, and midway through the second, I happen to get a puck kind of high high slot and whatever shoot, and it actually, by the grace of God, goes in. There you go. And it's like there's like Hero Ground Zero. So in the game specifically, it was a big goal. It ended up being the series series clinching goal or the third place winning goal, but the entirety of the bench cleared and mauled me in the middle of the as if it was an overtime win.

SPEAKER_03 17:00

I would have cleared.

SPEAKER_05 17:01

And I I I think I blacked out. It was just so excited that it took on this tropical vacation dipping into the pool side beverages. Uh, the whole bench clears and dogpiles me in the middle of the ice for a goal in the middle of the second period. Nice. Knowing that the other bench was like, what the hell is going on? Why is this so important? It's not like a you know thousandth point thing. Just his first goal of the year at the last possible game. Game 82. Yeah. And I remember this was my dad. He was an assistant coach. He was opening the gates on the defensive side, and I remember the head coach looked at him, he's like, I love this moment, but we still got a lot of game to play. So I kind of got to yell at them to get their heads out of the game. There's a lot of hockey left. And back to the bench. And he did, and we did, and you know, we ended up winning the game. And it's just one of my most sad but also happy ending hockey stories. Did you play hockey growing up?

SPEAKER_03 17:52

I did play hockey growing up.

SPEAKER_05 17:54

Did you ever go a season without not scoring?

SPEAKER_03 17:56

No, because I was a serviceable third-line winger. Ah. So I scored with the frequency of every four to six games. I'd, you know, pot one in.

SPEAKER_05 18:07

It's better than scoring every six, seven.

SPEAKER_03 18:09

But it is funny because my most memorable I have two things that I recall mostly from my hockey career. One of them is playing a game in the big arena in town and whiffing on a guy on when I tried to check him, and hearing my dad, my own father, hearing his voice come down from the stands, why don't you hit him with your purse?

SPEAKER_05 18:37

Oh no.

SPEAKER_03 18:39

So I'm getting chirped by my dad.

SPEAKER_05 18:41

Chirped by your father as a young tombsox.

SPEAKER_03 18:44

I was uh twelve, no, fourteen years old, probably with the same time period as you personal age. Yes. And uh, but either way. So I'm getting chirped by my uh by my father. Because I attempted to throw a hit and uh it wasn't successful, so he felt the need to uh chirp me, berate you, berate me, and question my uh virility and masculinity by making a comment. Right?

SPEAKER_05 19:13

Some dads, eh? Look gotta love them.

SPEAKER_03 19:16

And you know, it's also actually that same it's only stuck with you for your entire life.

SPEAKER_05 19:21

Right?

SPEAKER_03 19:21

Exactly. The other memory I have though from playing with that team is that we had this guy in our team who was Russian. I mean, he was like he was fast? No, no, he he was Canadian, and but his parents were Russian descent. Yeah, so he was like a first gen Canadian, I guess you'd say. Sure. And uh his dad would always just pace up and down at the top of the uh the bleachers there. No one would talk to him, he would just be wearing this like long like camel overcoat. I even remember, like you know, like one of those nice wool but it was like that can not black, but it was like that camel anyways, and he would just like eat peanuts and just pace back and forth, hands his pockets and just scowl. And no one ever knew what the hell was the deal with Kevin. Like he seemed like his you know, Kremlin mafia guy. Yeah. And one day he came into the dressing room before a game. We'd never heard this guy speak, and he sticks his head in the door, and we all kind of look, and he just says, Boris, make me proud. And then he then he's then he walked away, and we're like, Well, we've never first all never heard your dad speak before.

SPEAKER_05 20:26

Also, we're just finding out your name's Boris.

SPEAKER_03 20:28

He has his Boris, which was the only Boris that I ever I've I've never met another Boris in my life.

SPEAKER_06 20:35

Can't say you know Boris.

SPEAKER_03 20:36

And then he he never talked to the other parents. He just he just kept pacing eating peanuts, watching Boris. Young Boris.

SPEAKER_05 20:45

Young Boris. Did Boris make him proud?

SPEAKER_03 20:48

I I mean he he was pretty good. Yeah. He was also a big kid, he was kind of slow and clumsy, but he scored a lot because big.

SPEAKER_05 20:55

Because he's not being big always didn't always mean.

SPEAKER_03 20:58

Because he planted himself in front of the net. That didn't always work.

SPEAKER_05 21:01

There was one time He had a bit of a wiffle ball of a shot for a big guy, but speaking of planting in front of the net, I've there's this happened more than once. Um obviously I'm not a tiny human. And I was obviously a smaller then, but still large. And I'd plant my plant my ass in front of the goalie, and the defenseman would take slapshots. And I don't know if it was just because I was in the wrong spot or they had very shit aim, and you know who you are. I had a bruise probably the size of a pineapple on my thigh for about a month after taking a slap shot from the top of the circle from one of my defensemen. And the puck didn't go in, because it didn't go through me. It didn't go through you. I got one of the belly ones too, and you could actually see the imprint on my gut made in Yugoslavia because the puck hit so perfectly. I uh not a not not a good feeling.

SPEAKER_03 21:56

It's well great stories.

SPEAKER_05 21:57

Great stories, but just are we still talking about? Talk about it.

SPEAKER_03 22:01

I also want actually some of you uh peeps from the uh the old country the old stomping grounds. You you you may know. Some of you watching may know the Boris in which I speak, and you may have a recollection of this. I do recall his last name even, but I'm not gonna say it on here because we're not like that. No, but if you know, you know.

SPEAKER_05 22:24

If you're one who gets it.

SPEAKER_03 22:26

Absolutely. What about traveling? You like you like traveling? You're traveling next week. I will be traveling right now.

SPEAKER_05 22:32

I am currently traveling. I will have currently traveled while this time airs, and I will be doing my darndest to get through my uh my list of poolside beverages whilst consuming the show next week. For this week.

SPEAKER_03 22:46

You've had other traveling experiences?

SPEAKER_05 22:48

I've uh I've traveled a bit. Uh one travel story that specifically sticks out in my head. Um oh what how old I've been. Grade nine? Or whatever age that is. We were going no, I would no grade seven. Because there's another story keeps changing. It ties back to sports because I was on the junior basketball team in our junior high. Because you were so fast. Nope. Um again, this kind of well, we needed 12 kids and 11 came to tryouts. So you made it. Hey, are you busy Tuesday night? Pretty much. And uh I went on this trip. For whatever reason, the coach didn't appreciate that I went on this trip. And when I got back from said trip, told me, yeah, you don't have to come to practice next week and kicked me off the team. Um but I don't I don't dwell on that. I don't know. No, clearly. I did have like six points in three games.

SPEAKER_03 23:43

Clearly you don't even remember that.

SPEAKER_05 23:45

I barely don't even know who the coach was and what her name was. Um, anyways, but the trip in question though, it was a family trip and like a large family trip. Us and some cousins and my grandparents. Um we were going to Maui. We were flying to Seattle, and we knew there was obviously some delays in that. We got to Seattle knowing that it was gonna be kind of close for a connection to Maui. And there was most of the plane was making said connection. So it's not like there was one person out of 50. So you know, there was a large plane, they knew we were coming, it was gonna be tight at different ends of the airport, because that's obviously how it works. We get to the gate, I don't know, like twenty five, twenty minutes before they're about to close the doors. And like in their policies, they have like, you know, if you're not at the gate within 15 minutes of the door closing, you're at risk of your ticket being given to a standby person. Or ahead of that vibe a bit. And we go and we go to, you know, check-in and get on the plane, and they're like, ooh, so we've given away your seats.

SPEAKER_03 24:53

But I'm here.

SPEAKER_05 24:54

It's like, but we're here and it's not time yet. What do you mean you gave away our seats? And uh so obviously this creates a bit of a brooha. As it would. No one's happy about the situation. It's like, okay, we'll just go tell the people you gave our seats to to get off the plane. That didn't happen. And then all of a sudden the plane takes off. And then it was the whole, like, oh, we'll get you on the next one, we'll get you on the next one.

SPEAKER_03 25:20

Sure, but when's the next one?

SPEAKER_05 25:21

You know, six hours later instead of on that flight. Like, okay, there's no point in arguing about that. That plane's gone, we're not getting on it. And there was this was at the time where a couple airlines had just been like bought and there was merging, so like no one knew what the hell was going on. You know, we should we were put on one list and we should have been put on another list, and then they forgot about us. And they say, Okay, you know, we've got tickets for your family. Oh, and get this. All our luggage is now in Hawaii.

SPEAKER_03 25:48

Your luggage made the plane. Uh-huh. That's perfect. So it's waiting for you.

SPEAKER_05 25:52

It's waiting for us, yeah. And so it's good.

SPEAKER_03 25:54

If you could get your luggage to check into the hotel room for you while it's there. Right. It just does. Take care of all the shit while get some roads. Exactly, do all that. Get a condo, stock the fridge, go get the page.

SPEAKER_05 26:04

Get stuff ready. Yeah. You know, we've got tickets for your family. There's five of us. If I was in that position.

SPEAKER_03 26:09

So it's essentially been forgotten about.

SPEAKER_05 26:10

We had been forgotten. Completely forgotten about. You're supposed to be on that flight. We're supposed to be on that plane, completely forgotten about. And uh then he comes up and says, Well, we have one ticket. It's like, there's five of us.

SPEAKER_03 26:22

It's gonna be tight. That's a tight seat.

SPEAKER_05 26:25

And then it came down to, okay, well, Dad, obviously you, it's either you or mom that are going. It's not gonna send one of the kids. Dad, you go, because if you don't go, you'll end up in cuffs because you're gonna punch this guy in the face. Any regular human would after this debacle of a day.

SPEAKER_03 26:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 26:42

So what when we should have been in Maui at this point, we are still in Seattle. And uh, you know, two and a half days later, we made it to Maui. Jesus, that's we got our vouchers and then you had to turn around to come back. Well, luckily enough, it was a long enough trip. Because it blew off the first three days being blown in Seattle. So that's why I've got this like negative.

SPEAKER_03 27:03

I think I think I saw that movie blown in Seattle. Uh well, it was somewhere. It was clumsy and awkward. Was it on your work computer? No, no, probably smart. There was a lot of rain and a lot of damp, a lot of flannel, a lot of wet wasn't. A lot of Doc Martins. A lot of wet. Blown in Seattle.

SPEAKER_05 27:20

Huh.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

Huh. Anyways.

SPEAKER_05 27:22

That's not where my story was going. Like we were there, we were there so long and told that we weren't getting on an explane that we actually just like left the airport and went sightseeing. They're like, yeah, come back tomorrow morning, we'll try again.

SPEAKER_03 27:32

A lot to see in Tacoma.

SPEAKER_05 27:34

Stupid. So I hate Seattle for that reason. But there is a silver lining to that story.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

I hate Seattle.

SPEAKER_05 27:42

My my darling mother wrote a very strongly worded letter to the airline. Uh we basically ended up getting a mostly paid for trip to Disneyland the year after. From all the flights and hotel vouchers they gave us.

SPEAKER_03 27:56

That's alright.

SPEAKER_05 27:57

Gave up three days in Seattle for four days in Disneyland a couple years later. It worked out in the end, but it made for us a hell of a story. And I uh Yeah. Not that I dwell on it, but No, clearly. Have you ever been stuck in Seattle for three days?

SPEAKER_03 28:13

No, but I have um I have spent some time in Tacoma, Washington at the while boarding a flight at the Sea Tac airport. Early on in uh mine and Mrs. Tube Sox's courtship, we'd uh recently uh met and myself and a guy I was playing in a band with. We were his brother lived in New York City, so we were going there to hang out because he's like, hey, come out to New York, got a place here to stay. Won't cost you anything, just if you can play pay for flights. I couldn't pay for flights because I couldn't. So the lovely Mrs. uh future Mrs. Tube Socks lent me like $200, which allowed me to get on said flight.

SPEAKER_05 28:58

But you're dating yourself a little bit there.

SPEAKER_03 29:00

It was a different time, and uh so here's the thing. So we fly from the CTAC airport. Actually, funny enough, when we were in CTAC, we were nine, uh we were 20 at the time, and you had to be 21 to drink in the States. Sure. But we thought, okay, we're gonna be spending like nine hours in Tacoma, Washington, so we're gonna need to go to an establishment. So we actually took the time to make fake IDs with like razor cut things and letra sets and because nothing was computerized or barcoded. And we actually made we made up an ID that they wouldn't be able to say wasn't legit because they just didn't recognize it. And we said, well, it's something we have in where we're from.

SPEAKER_05 29:51

In our stomping grounds, this is in our stomping grounds, this is legit.

SPEAKER_03 29:54

So we ended up getting really loaded in Tacoma, Washington, with our fake IDs that were, and we even got them laminated and shit. Like it was like we went all out. Yeah, and the laminators were like, What are these? Like, oh, we're just just just laminate the damn thing. Just laminate that.

SPEAKER_05 30:10

We'll pay you five dollars.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

And we actually from walking from the bar back to our spot in the airport, we got there was, I don't know, it was like a two-kilometer stretch, and we got pulled over by state troopers who saw us walking down the street, highway in our we were rock and roll guys at the time, so we were wearing leather pants and leather jackets, and we were long-haired and surly. Uh-huh. And they pulled us over just because they thought we were. If we were up to no good. If we were up to no good, we wouldn't be dressed so fine.

SPEAKER_05 30:37

Fair.

SPEAKER_03 30:38

Anyways, so they let us go. We let us get back to the airport, they just asked some questions. But it was weird though, they came out with their hands on pistols. Huh. Like they can clearly see in our tight leather pants, and we do not have guns. We have we have no fire arms. We ain't backing. We ain't backing anyway. Well, we are, but hey! Hey oh. Anyway, so to skip this along, we fly to New York. We had our whole trip, you know, budgeted out. And we once we got dropped off in New York, well, dropped off. We landed. Dropped off by the we got dropped off by the plane in New York.

SPEAKER_05 31:16

Before it went and dropped off, Jimmy.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

And so we so we take a cab from from the airport to his brother's place, and it was like $18 or something. Okay, perfect. We need $18. So we tucked a 20, you know, into the back of my gunch, knowing that I needed 20 to get back to the airport at the end of this week. So we like did a bunch of stuff and we had a a pretty crazy time. And uh handsome dick man. It was it was it was a crazy time. We saw some rock and roll cool guys. It was New York City, early 90s, it was fun time. So we're going to leave, and everything's good. We had we didn't have any carriers, we just had like a fanny pack, I guess it was.

SPEAKER_05 31:59

Probably.

SPEAKER_03 32:00

We had like you know, half a deck of smokes, $28 American between the two of us. We're like, oh, it's good. We can get to the airport, we're good. Well, this cab takes a different route, and it was $24 to get to the airport.

unknown 32:15

Oh no!

SPEAKER_03 32:16

We had like 18. Uh-oh. So we gave him a fistful of a mix of American dollars, and there was like four or six Canadian $2 bills into this bunch and a mittful of coins, and we put it all in his hand and went, okay, thanks. And then we just ran into the airport. Because we shortchanged him by about 12 bucks. And of that money we gave him, a third of it was Canadian. But we made sure we did that after we got our bag, because we did have a bag. Yeah. And then we get to the airport, we're like, now what? Well, now what? We have no money for anything. We've got three cigarettes between the two of us. So we get on the plane, and uh we're, you know, we're flying. We there to Chicago, then to back to Tacoma, which is a beautiful, beautiful city with fabulous architecture. If you can ever have a chance to visit Tacoma, Washington, I highly recommend it.

SPEAKER_05 33:14

This segment brought to you by tourism Tacoma.

SPEAKER_03 33:18

And uh anyway, so we're on the plane, and we figured, okay, we can have one smoke on the plane, because you could. Oh yeah, that's but then we gotta like share a smoke. That is something that just blows my mind. We gotta share a smoke in Chicago, but we managed to bum a couple of smokes in Chicago for the flight home. But here's here's where this world is missing today. So we get on the flight.

SPEAKER_05 33:38

Smoking on airplanes?

SPEAKER_03 33:39

Well, that's another thing. But what was really missing is that we're a couple of sad guys in leather pants, no money, and we've got to flight from Chicago to Tacoma, Washington. Beautiful place. Go see it one time. And we have no money for alcohol on this flight. So, what did we do? Being a couple of resourceful guys that were thin and young and good looking and long-haired and cool, we say to the uh air hostess Um when she says, Would you like something to drink? I said, Well, I certainly would, but sadly we lost all of our money. We got some guy, we got scammed, and we don't have any money, and we have a long way to go. And she and she did the goes, I'll take care of it. And then she comes back and she gave us each two beers, and then an hour later she came back and she gave us so we got like four free beers on this flight just because we were you know the eyes, right?

SPEAKER_05 34:38

Like flutter. It still works on me, I'm telling you.

SPEAKER_03 34:41

Right? So, anyway, so that's I mean, I don't travel a lot, but when I do, apparently shit goes well for me. So maybe I should get back to traveling. Anyway, so yeah, so I don't know if you can still get free shit off airplane just by saying, I don't know. Yeah, would you like a beer? Yeah, I'd like one, but I don't have any money. Well, you know what? The the lovely air hostess will bring us something. It was good times, good times. That's my travel story that sticks out.

SPEAKER_05 35:09

When you were a young rocker.

SPEAKER_03 35:11

When I was a young rock and roll long-haired guy. Which is interestingly enough, again, we keep referring to my newly uh reconnected peeps.

SPEAKER_05 35:19

From your old stompa grounds.

SPEAKER_03 35:20

The old Stompagrounds. They never saw this side of me because that all happened after we lost connection.

SPEAKER_05 35:25

So they don't know you were a young leather leather rocker.

SPEAKER_03 35:29

This was uh new to them, anyways. That's my travel story. I mean a real peel behind the curtain here.

SPEAKER_05 35:34

So you being a leather rocker is probably a good segue into the next story I want you to tell. What's that what's that you were telling me you got some sort of uh musical experience?

SPEAKER_03 35:45

Do you want to keep this on me?

SPEAKER_05 35:46

I do. Because I want to hear the story.

SPEAKER_03 35:50

We may not get through all these bullet points.

SPEAKER_05 35:52

Oh, we that's why we have another episode later. Uh this story's.

SPEAKER_03 35:56

You know, we can always we can always go back to other get to know uh big you can tube socks.

SPEAKER_05 36:00

I think this will be because this this we've got stories.

SPEAKER_03 36:03

Because we're starting to get to the end here of where we should be.

SPEAKER_05 36:05

But we've got stories. All right. Well I want I want to hear this story, and then we can move on and come back to this segment another day.

SPEAKER_03 36:12

So so I mean, those who know me, I mean, I'm a fairly cool guy. You guys know that. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 36:16

I mean, that's it's kind of our shtick.

SPEAKER_03 36:19

The peeps from the old Stompel Grounds made up. So I used to uh bartend in a uh in a city on the uh on the west coast of Canada, north of Tacoma. And uh, anyways, while this was in the uh a time when uh the band ACDC was recording uh some albums around there. Some of you some no, they weren't a cappella. Oh full band.

SPEAKER_05 36:40

Oh, full okay.

SPEAKER_03 36:41

So again, I I also will apologize to those who have heard this story, because some who know me have heard this story and they may be rolling their eyes at this point, but uh which means it's a good story. Because it's like, oh fucking tube socks again with the story. But I honestly I don't like telling the story a lot because I'm tired. I I'm tired of it.

SPEAKER_05 36:59

Well now you'll never have to tell it again because it'll be on the other side. This is finally, this is the final This may be the final telling of the story.

SPEAKER_03 37:05

So but anyway, so so bartending in an afternoon, and a couple guys, uh Brian Johnson and uh and Malcolm Young come into the bar. We chit-chat, blah blah blah. This goes on for three or four or five or seven days. And then uh and then after that, one day Malcolm says to me Oh, Malcolm used our first name, baseball.

SPEAKER_05 37:27

Well, that was then we that's his name.

SPEAKER_03 37:29

I'm not gonna call him Dick. True. He says to me, Hey, what do you uh do you like do you like going out? Do you do you do do you go out and do stuff?

SPEAKER_06 37:41

Jazz?

SPEAKER_03 37:42

Oh, back to back beat movie references. Love it.

SPEAKER_06 37:46

Sorry, sorry.

SPEAKER_03 37:46

So anyway, so I says, Yeah, sure, you know, I like going out. I'm I'm I'm young, I hip. I have leather pants, you know. And he says, Well, we're all going to uh such and such place tonight. Why don't you why don't you join us?

SPEAKER_05 37:59

Yeah, sure, okay. And you do do you you know this is these guys? Well I've how how far along are they in their fame?

SPEAKER_03 38:06

This is they were recording the Razor's Edge album.

SPEAKER_05 38:09

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 38:10

So they were fairly Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 38:12

They weren't they were well. They weren't just four guys coming on.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

No, no, oh no. It was known as like, oh. Yeah, no, this was they were AC DC. They were a very established band of these.

SPEAKER_05 38:22

People know them. Okay, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_03 38:23

Um keep going. That's it. First singer was best. Anyways. Um I go to the said establishment, which was a regular place that I frequented, anyways, seven, eight days a week. It was a rock and roll bar in this town north of Tacoma. West of Edmonton, north of Tacoma. You do the math. Near not near Castlegar. Anyways, so I go up there, it was upstairs, go upstairs like we did eight days a week. Go upstairs, blah blah blah. I look off to my left, and uh, and I and I see Malcolm. So I walk over there and he's like, hey, hey, oh wait, shooting the shit for humanity. He's like, Oh, I've oh, oh, glad you came, tube sucks. You know, have a seat, you know, what can I you want anything? We got a guy serving us drinks. I'm like, yeah, I'll just have a whatever. And uh Malcolm is just going hard on the coffees and cigarettes. You can still smoke in bars at then. And uh anyway, so we hung out for about 90 minutes or so, just the two of us on a high top. He's drinking coffee and smoke, Chain Smoking. I'm drinking Jack Daniels and beers, and we're just chit-chatting, and there's a band comes on, and uh, it was just a cover band. And uh, I don't say just a cover band, sorry, I mean it was a cover band comes on. You don't need to despair the cover band. No, but the odd thing was that they were about, I don't know, half hour into their set, and they had a chick singer, and she's like, Oh, we got ACDC fans. And uh and then Malcolm looks at me and kind of like Kinda. And uh so they go into a song and it was I mean, the band was fine, but it sounded kind of weird, and he just kind of looks at me and hugs his cuff and kind of so we start talking again. He was like, Oh, this is weird. It's like I I I sort of sense it she doesn't know we're here. Yeah, she doesn't know that I'm anyway. So a a a girlfriend of mine, not my girlfriend, but a girlfriend of mine was working at a bar about half a block away from this establishment. And I told her that uh, because we all live downtown, and uh I told her, like, well, I'll cut I'll come get you when you're off and walk you home because gentlemen. Being a gentleman, gentlemen. It wasn't a romantic thing, uh-huh. Uh it was just a gentleman, and there's no texting or anything, right? Because that didn't come around yet. So I'm like, all right, well, anyways, I gotta head out. But uh he's like, Well, come back. I'm like, yeah, no, I'll come back. I just gotta walk my friend home because it's dodgy north of Tacoma.

SPEAKER_05 40:51

So Dodgy area north of Tacoma.

SPEAKER_03 40:53

I swing by her bar, she's off work, I walk her home. I come back to the bar that I was in, and I go up the very same stairs I was there two hours ago, and there's now a velvet rope and a bouncer in that area, and the place is packed, and I go to walk to that area and I get stopped, and he's like, Oh, sorry, dude, this is a private party. Also, I'm I'm not used to being called dude, that kind of whoa. And I said, Oh, okay, that's cool, that's fine. I get it. You know, I was there earlier when it was empty. Yeah, but then Malcolm Young comes up to the guy and taps him and says, No, he's alright. He's with me and Angus. And then the guy looks at me and goes, Oh, I'm sorry. And he undoes the rope and uh I step through the rope and then he says, Can I get you something to drink? Oh, and I says, Well, yes, I'll have a double jack Daniels uh one rock, please. Because I gotta be very specific. It's like it's like our backstage rider, right? And sure enough, he comes over with a double jack Daniels with one small cube sitting in it, and I go back and sit down. I didn't hang out with Angus, but I was went back to my table with with Malcolm, who's the coolest freaking guy I'd ever met. And uh, anyways, this went on for uh about a month of uh just off and on of someone would come by the place I worked and said, you know, maybe it sometimes it was Malcolm, sometimes it was just a guy that said, Oh, hey, I'm sent a guy. It's like, hey, we're going to uh the whatever tonight if you're if you want to come by. Like, oh, okay. And then sure enough, I'd swing by there. I'd uh places that I would never go to.

SPEAKER_05 42:32

And uh But when ACDC invites you.

SPEAKER_03 42:35

And then I'd be walking through, like, I don't know this place, and then I'd hear, hey, tube sucks. And then I look like, holy shit, it's you guys. He's like dudes! It's like, oh, remember me? It's like, oh yeah, yeah. Like this is just like their whole operation is a family business, which was cool. Like, because all the the guys and their crew and all the they're all uncles and cousins, and it's a family business, which is why it keeps going. Anyway, so that I it was like it was probably six weeks of off and on me just hanging out with Malcolm and the periphery guys of ACDC. Wow, and they were just the the coolest guys because they were all just dudes, really cool guys.

SPEAKER_04 43:14

They're just dudes.

SPEAKER_03 43:15

So, I mean that's that's my ACDC story. Well, and and then they they came back through that town north of Tacoma two more times within the next couple years, and they're like, hey, I'm on you're on the guest list, you're on the list. You want to come see us? You're on the list. Which is also interesting to put together back in the days of no texts and no, so there'd be like a phone message at my work.

SPEAKER_05 43:40

Yeah. Hey, there's a message for tube socks.

SPEAKER_03 43:44

You're on the list. So I go to the Coliseum of this town, and sure enough, I'd show up at the Will Call like, hi, I'm on the list. And I'd never done that at you do that at club shows, but not at arena shows. Arena shows. Like, hi, I'm on bad like A C D C Like Are you I I've I believe I'm on the list. Oh, what's your name? Uh tube socks. Oh. And then you because you're on the you're like on the.

SPEAKER_05 44:05

Now you're a VIP. Yeah, right? Do the VIP. So then I'm doing the VIP.

SPEAKER_03 44:09

Anyways, so that's that's my Damn. It was a pretty cool time.

SPEAKER_05 44:15

I'd say Frick.

SPEAKER_03 44:18

There's some other substories in there, but that's that's the That's for another episode. That's the nuts and bolts of it.

SPEAKER_05 44:22

Might have to have a whole episode just of Tube Sock's rock stories.

SPEAKER_03 44:25

Oh my goodness. Holy! I think that's pretty much exhausting our little uh That went better than I could have thought. Well, it was a pretty good time.

SPEAKER_05 44:33

My goodness. That's a damn cool story. Good times. Just buddy buddy with ACDC.

SPEAKER_03 44:42

So that said, when Malcolm uh passed, I was a little bit sad because like he was he was a solid man. He was Well is your buddy? He could have He could have just saw what was going on, but he went out of his way to say, hey no, no, no. No, no, if he's with us. I like that guy. He'll have a cool beard.

SPEAKER_05 45:00

If he wasn't dead, maybe instead of Harold, it would have been ACDZ.

SPEAKER_03 45:03

Right. That guy's gonna have a cool beard one day.

SPEAKER_05 45:06

One day. Because he didn't edit he just had tight leather pants.

SPEAKER_03 45:08

Tight leather pants and long hair.

SPEAKER_05 45:10

Because there's no point having baggy leather pants. That's just weird.

SPEAKER_03 45:14

Okay. Well, where are we going next? Are we winding up?

SPEAKER_05 45:17

So before we transition, I think that I think I enjoyed that. Not just your story, but I think I think people will enjoy that.
