SPEAKER_00 0:13

If you're here for the fact you already win.

SPEAKER_06 0:43

Welcome to the Songs of FM podcast, episode 12, S1E12 here. How are you guys doing today? Tonight, tomorrow? Well, uh, we're going to jump in this week. This is going to be a little bit different than what we have been doing because if you've caught on since episode four, every even uh episode, we have had a guest. We don't have a guest today. Uh hopefully we'll have one lined out for episode 14.

SPEAKER_05 1:11

I don't know if that's true or us. If you go segment three, Ren has a special guest.

SPEAKER_06 1:16

Well, yeah, okay. So that that might be doesn't count until it happens.

SPEAKER_05 1:21

Okay. Buckle up.

SPEAKER_07 1:22

Buckle up.

SPEAKER_06 1:24

That's pretty and and it and the intro is going to be a little bit different for me, too. And it it kind of goes against the grain of what I've been failing at and not mentioning our ads, but Ren said, uh, no ad this time, maybe later in the show.

SPEAKER_05 1:38

So that's a little bit that's we don't know if we're getting paid for this one.

SPEAKER_06 1:45

Right. Well, I mean, have you got paid yet?

SPEAKER_04 1:47

Yeah, really. I think we're in.

SPEAKER_06 1:49

I'm still waiting on my blockbuster money. That was episode one. Well, all right, Ryan. At least this one's still here uh in the intro. Are you gonna write some wrongs or are you gonna throw me a curveball and say you're gonna do it?

SPEAKER_05 2:01

Well, Russ, I didn't have time to get anything together, so we're gonna skip that too.

SPEAKER_06 2:05

Son of a gun.

SPEAKER_07 2:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:08

No, I'll start off. I'm actually gonna do it out of order because I really like the first wrong the most, and I want to end with it. I only have two.

SPEAKER_07 2:15

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 2:15

Uh I'd like to start by saying I keep forgetting to tell Ren and James about this, but we had our first public recognition uh from the podcast. We did, we did. Oh we're in public and somebody recognized somebody from the podcast.

SPEAKER_06 2:28

Yeah. Specifically said, Hey, you're the guy in the podcast.

SPEAKER_05 2:32

Yeah.

unknown 2:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 2:34

Yep, it's Chris. Oh, it's Chris. Oh, it was Chris James. Yeah, he didn't expect of all people. And it was in Lawrenceburg of all places. So it was. Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_05 2:46

All right. And the Rena Rock Challenge, uh, I claim that Toto's sweep through the tournament. Uh the tightest matchup was Queen at three to two.

SPEAKER_04 2:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 2:55

Uh that they blew everybody else out. And that just showcases my ADHD and short-term memory. They had just defeated Journey three to two, less than a minute before I made that statement. So opening rounds and the final, that was the two blowouts, middle rounds went down to the wire.

SPEAKER_07 3:11

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 3:11

Uh, the big one for me is the SOFM Drome Clinic. We had a little discussion about uh the song Hot for Teacher.

SPEAKER_07 3:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:19

And the opening. You guys remember that?

SPEAKER_07 3:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:21

Press claim that it was the exhaust of his Ferrari. I need you to clarify whose Ferrari it was.

SPEAKER_06 3:27

Uh, I'm thinking it was Eddie's. It was Alex Van Halen that that that made the statement because I was listening to his uh, I think the book's called Brothers, listening to the audiobook. So it was either his or Ed's or somebody that was there, it was a Ferrari, though, I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

Okay, so Russ claims it's a Ferrari. Uh James chined in that it was a Harley. Chris said it was double track drums, and that's what I had always heard. And Ren said it was a tractor. It was actually Eddie Van Halen's Lamborghini. Lamborghini. Lamborghini. So we all got that wrong. Okay. I'll take the L there. Okay.

SPEAKER_11 4:03

What was the engine? D and L V10? Oh, it was a six liter.

SPEAKER_05 4:07

It was not a six-liter for 4.3 V6. That's it.

SPEAKER_11 4:12

Eco Boost Turbocharge.

SPEAKER_06 4:16

With a supercharger. Uh-huh. Did you did you purposely ask that question, James, or did you just step into that?

SPEAKER_11 4:23

I just stepped into it.

SPEAKER_05 4:27

For a second, he was a genius. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_03 4:32

Real man of genius.

SPEAKER_05 4:34

Oh, that was good.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

What was that? What was that for?

SPEAKER_06 4:36

What was that?

SPEAKER_03 4:36

Was that Bud Light?

SPEAKER_05 4:37

Budweiser? Budweiser. Bud Light. Bud Light.

SPEAKER_06 4:40

Real man of genius. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 4:43

I think so.

SPEAKER_06 4:44

Are those the rights? Are those the wrongs you're going to write, Ryan?

SPEAKER_05 4:48

That's it.

SPEAKER_06 4:49

Alright. Well, we'll move right on to Wait, wait a minute. Are you sure we're not doing an ad right now? Right now? No ad. Okay. Alright. Just making sure. All right. Moving on to segment number one. We're bringing it back. Welcome to my brain is back once more. So I hope you gentlemen are prepared. I'm going to start this one out and we're going to move around the table and then have some quick reactions to everyone's uh thought. Um so uh I'll start. My thought, my welcome to my brain um submission, is as a and I I I take this term lightly because I don't play an instrument in calling myself a musician. But as a musician, is it okay for me if I genuinely like some of these AI created songs? Because some of them are great. You know, they're different uh stylistic versions of popular songs, you know, uh RB version of you know, this country song, or you know what I'm talking about. You all sing it.

SPEAKER_03 5:58

Yeah, it's uh it's like a guilty pleasure. I've I've fell victim to the same thing. I hear a couple of AI songs, and I've even I thought I shared one with you guys many uh probably a couple months ago. Yeah, and I it was I felt guilty about it. I was like, this sounds awesome, but it's not real.

SPEAKER_06 6:14

Yeah, I mean that's uh some some songs that you and the one that catch me is like if they do a song that nowhere ever in my brain have I ever thought of that song would sound good in that way, that version. And the ones that surprise me uh are are the ones I'm specifically talking about because some of them are really good. Now I could offer you a uh an example, but I'm not going to because you can go down that rabbit hole yourself. And it seems to me like it's mostly on TikTok, and then if you if you see something on TikTok and you particularly like it, you may be able to listen to it on uh YouTube or something. Who who's the guy on TikTok that does he's the black gentleman that uh has the gray beard, he's a Gen X guy. He's one that does a lot of them. I don't know if he actually creates them or if he hears them and just puts them up or what it is. But uh those are the ones that I specifically like, the ones that he he does, because he'll announce you know, this is uh a live by Pearl Jam done as a reggae song or something like that, you know. So that that was my that's that's been in my brain even back when we done the first version of what's in my brain. You know, uh talking about Mr.

SPEAKER_05 7:27

Professor 318?

SPEAKER_06 7:29

Uh maybe. Is he a black gentleman with a gray beard? Big a beard like you, yeah. Where's a cap lot?

SPEAKER_05 7:37

Uh he's not in this one.

SPEAKER_06 7:39

Well, this guy's usually got a hat on.

SPEAKER_05 7:42

TV with a fireplace in the background?

SPEAKER_06 7:44

Uh, you know, I really haven't paid attention to if it's like a static background. I don't know. But he's uh he's really good at it.

SPEAKER_03 7:54

Well, I've always wondered about this AI stuff. When will be the first band, local, regional, whatever, to hear an AI created song and then cover it?

SPEAKER_06 8:04

Yeah. Ooh. Hey, ooh. Well, I won't lie, it's run through my brain. So me too.

SPEAKER_05 8:11

You know, so you guys are specifically talking about real songs that exist that they just flip the style.

SPEAKER_06 8:17

Yeah, using AI.

SPEAKER_05 8:18

That's one that's not a oh not a complete. I think not a complete AI song.

SPEAKER_06 8:23

Yeah, that's the complete AI songs that I have heard are very generic. You can almost pencil it out.

SPEAKER_05 8:30

I mean, I would argue a lot of the new country stuff's very generic too. I think it seems to be doing fine. And I think you know, we had the conversation about musicians and pay and all that uh a couple weeks ago via chat, and it led me to start thinking about I saw an article about AI, when is that going to be the new thing? Because we all know that what drives everything in the music industry is the records and record companies of money. Yeah. And eventually, if they can cut the artist out, they can maximize their profit.

SPEAKER_06 8:56

Yeah, absolutely. But the even I will say the ones that I have seen or or and or heard uh all are they're almost like today's country, which you know, today's country is the only genre that still sells physical copies, you know. Um the that that they're the I guess the mainstream anymore of of what people are out there buying. And then you look at the area that we're in, we're kind of in the epicenter of that being in eastern Kentucky. Um, you know, you you that's that's the kind of music you're hearing out of the window of at least 60%, 70% of the of the windows you hear driving by is is country music. And and you know, that's there's nothing wrong with that at all because that's what makes the world go round. Everybody's got their own taste. But it's a really cookie cutter. The the I really look for where I don't play an instrument, I look for lyrical content mostly in the songs that I that I list to. I do love to hear a good Rhodes piano. I do love to hear a good B3 organ. I love to hear tasteful guitar licks and stuff like that. I'm not the you know, I don't like the flashy stuff, I don't tend to lean towards that. But uh I don't want to get too far off uh the topic. But uh uh that's kind of uh what I equate it to is today's country music and the predictability of it, where you know what they're gonna be writing about, you know even what the next word is gonna be said, and the completely generated AI songs seem to follow that pattern, in my opinion. That I can I can sit there and think, okay, if I know this is a a completely AI produced song, I know what they're gonna sing next. You know, and then nine times out of ten, thus far, I've been right.

SPEAKER_04 10:37

So now somebody mentioned uh when is AI going to you know actually hit it. There was um there was somebody that made a whole album, AI album, and sold it.

SPEAKER_06 10:52

Um you're not referring to Randy Travis, are you?

SPEAKER_04 10:55

No.

SPEAKER_06 10:56

Because they have done that with him. They they they re AI'd his voice. Yeah, just the voice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 11:03

Now this was a whole thing. You can check it, Ryan. I'm pretty sure that somebody actually had AI write this whole album and they put it up.

SPEAKER_06 11:13

Now that's we're approaching K13 territory here, and and and AI being we could do a whole episode on it. But uh, and I didn't want to open that box of worms being the first one out, but here we are.

SPEAKER_03 11:27

So uh let's see where we get a lot of our content is during this segment.

SPEAKER_06 11:30

So yeah, right, right. Uh so uh we'll we'll go ahead and move along with it. Uh but mine was is it okay that I genuinely like some of these AI created songs? Um so let's uh let's move on to James. James, what do you got for us? What's in your brain?

SPEAKER_11 11:45

So as music's progressed over time, there's always been some backlash on new technology. Always. In maybe the 60s and 70s with the Melotron and synthesizer, there was backlash of hey, you're not really playing strings, that's cheating. Or that's not really a harmonica or a brass section, that's cheating. Fast forward to not today, but I I'd say probably a hit more about 10-15 years ago. Uh there was a lot of hate of playing with clicker tracks and uh filling in tracks that the musicians couldn't do completely live. Uh it could be an effect like a wind pushing in or just an effect that you might have to do it all, you might have to have seven keyboardists on stage. Yeah. So and obviously there's a lot more things to do with click track nowadays. But what do you think the next progression in music technology that might get backlash?

SPEAKER_06 12:56

Yeah, I think I just spoke about it.

SPEAKER_04 12:57

Yeah, it's already started because I see a lot of ads for uh these co-producers of AI that's supposed to help you mix and master your um your your uh album or help you create it.

SPEAKER_11 13:12

Yeah. So do you think do you think we'll get past we'll get to the point to where maybe there's not a front of house engineer? Maybe it's AI done. That is very possible.

SPEAKER_05 13:23

I mean, I mean it became very popular in the last uh I don't know. I I started noticing the last 10-15 years to where you have these solo acts, especially pop hip hop, they don't have a backing band and they're just singing karaoke with a few dancers. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 13:39

So we're already kind of well and there's our already uh automation in consoles.

SPEAKER_06 13:45

Yeah, and that that what Ryan was talking about, that's been there for a long time. And that's just the kind of their the the uh the root of their music. A lot of that stuff is either sampled or it's uh you know created from a keyboard or something like that, to where they can just throw it together, and that's why I mean I'm not gonna throw off on it, but that's kind of why my favorite hip-hop group of all time is the Beastie Boys, especially when they done the license the uh ill communication album. You know, that's when they didn't done sabotage because they started out as a punk band. That was their their first thing, they were a punk band. And then they switched, you know, they were in New York and they switched over to hip-hop. Um, but in that in that uh ill communication album when they done like sabotage, you know they were playing those instruments. So you can check it out on YouTube where they played it live on uh on Letterman. Uh Tribe Call Quest have done that, you know.

SPEAKER_05 14:38

Well, you look at uh Jay-Z, I'm sure he uses some sampling, but he's got one of the best drummers in the world playing playing drums on stage live. I don't know if he still does, Ren. You know what I'm talking about?

SPEAKER_03 14:49

Wait, I just got something.

SPEAKER_05 14:52

Is this our guest?

SPEAKER_03 14:53

Sorry, as you were talking to me, I just had something come in from the future. No, so this is what we have to what you're talking about, James. Um we have this box. It has an Ethernet cable, data cable, goes to the stage, so your uh your uh inputs go to this box, and this box is connected to a computer or an iPhone or whatever, and uh your mix front of house mix is uh based on your uh chat inputs. Need a little this, need a little that. But the box itself has a room sensor, so it can kind of get it to where you want it, and based on your prompts and feedback, it'll adjust the sound for you.

SPEAKER_11 15:27

Like an RTA mic.

SPEAKER_06 15:29

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's you probably hit the nail on the head right there. I think so. Yeah. That's that's probably because the rig we use when we play is already uh you hook it up with a cat five cable. Got the box on stage, and you know, you Chris uses the uh the iPad most of the time because we're playing in smaller venues, but when we play in a bigger venue, I've got a controller that you know it just hooks straight up to it with via uh uh a router. Yeah. You know, you just go into the router with this the controller and then router on the box too. And yeah, so you put something in the middle there that's got a room mic built into it and it kind of senses on it.

SPEAKER_03 16:10

Instead of just telling you what the RTA values are, it's gonna automatically adjust and ask for your input on it. And all the old sound guys are gonna be like, I ain't how you run sound, but that's basically how you do it.

SPEAKER_06 16:20

That's basically what it says now. The the Presonic stuff, you set up the room mic and it and you hit test, and it goes through and and sets all those things for you.

SPEAKER_05 16:29

That's what I was gonna say. Is that much different than that?

SPEAKER_06 16:31

Well, I mean, it'd be more advanced where it's actually you're talking about volume. It's just a box, man. There's nothing. Just mixes, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 16:39

You can't be like, oh, we need a little more bass. Yeah. Turn it up.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

Ask it. More like you have a little prompt mic, more bass, and then it just adjusts it for you. Hey, how, can I get a little bit more of the uh fiddle in the in my ears, please? Yeah. And that'll be just tell exactly what you need ears, front of house, whatever you're hearing. Put some reverb on channel four, please. It's done. I'd say you hit the nail on the head, buddy.

SPEAKER_04 17:03

Yeah, they they did try to do an all cat five console with a cat with guitars and bass and mics with cat five in them.

SPEAKER_06 17:11

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:11

Why are we talking about cats? Category cable.

SPEAKER_03 17:16

Category five. It's Ethernet cable. The technical term for network cable, buddy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:21

I was gonna say, my dad always told me I sounded like I had a cat in my show.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Now it's cat 6e, I guess. Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_09 17:26

Right.

SPEAKER_03 17:27

Yeah, right.

SPEAKER_11 17:28

There's eight. It's technology, so it's going to progress. But uh poor Chris Stapleton's uh front of house engineer would hate it because his console is pure analog. There is nothing digital about how it's ran front of house.

SPEAKER_06 17:41

A lot, a lot of respect there to really. Yeah, analog. Just like uh most of your tube amps sound better, you know, you get that warmth of a good tube amp. But is it everything's going digital now, and then with your your uh your mods and stuff like that, they can they can recreate about almost any sound. You know, James was talking about the what was it, the 60 cycle hertz, or what was it? 60. Oh, uh 60 cycle hum from a tube amp. And I thought that would be a good band name, 60 cycle hum. But uh, anyways, we'll move on. Uh Chris, you want to give us what's in your brain?

SPEAKER_04 18:19

Okay, not much, but um so you know related.

SPEAKER_11 18:26

I didn't plan that. I swear we didn't plan that a good cricket sound. I'm impressed.

SPEAKER_04 18:37

So everybody has had a original Xbox or Xbox 360, right? Yeah, so you know, you get a game like Doom 3, you play it. Well, you're like, okay, well, you have a friend that plays only on a computer. You build a computer that is the same as the Xbox. It does not play. It's the same specs.

SPEAKER_06 19:04

Right? No.

SPEAKER_04 19:07

But why? I mean, one has a PDM3, got a Pentium three on this computer, it it won't run. Why is that?

SPEAKER_06 19:15

I mean, is it I mean like I said the file type. Yeah. File type.

SPEAKER_11 19:20

Uh I I was actually watching there's a guy I follow on YouTube about Nintendo Switch, and like when the Switch 2 comes out came out, they sent developers a kit to convert their game to the file that's on that can run on Nintendo Switch.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

Well 360 actually used Windows.

SPEAKER_06 19:39

Did it? I didn't know that. Well then I don't know, Chris. Can you tell us?

SPEAKER_04 19:44

No, because that makes no sense. You you get the same same equipment put together.

SPEAKER_06 19:52

Well, there's obviously something they put in there to make it proprietary to where you have to buy the console and not able to play it, you know, without uh some kind of uh um what are they called emulator?

SPEAKER_04 20:05

I I'm talking about just getting the actual copy for your computer. It wouldn't play.

SPEAKER_11 20:11

Like loading an Xbox 360 game disc into the distribution. Oh, you're talking about the Windows version of it.

SPEAKER_04 20:18

So you actually get that, it won't play. You have to have a more powerful computer than what the Xbox is.

SPEAKER_06 20:26

Money. They want you to buy more you know gear to to crank up your system to be able to do that. So and that's the easy answer.

SPEAKER_03 20:36

I guess there's way more resources on a Windows machine trying to perform every other function along with the uh Xbox application. Because it's dedicated to just the game.

SPEAKER_06 20:47

You gotta account for both. Yeah. All right. Well, that was quick and easy. Uh James, uh, you've done done yours, Chris done his. Uh let's go to Ryan.

SPEAKER_05 20:59

All right, so there's a song by Daryl Singletary.

SPEAKER_04 21:03

There we go.

SPEAKER_05 21:04

The lyrics are I don't know you from Adam, but if you're gonna play the jukebox, please don't play A11. What was A11?

SPEAKER_04 21:14

I knew it. I knew it.

SPEAKER_05 21:19

I'm gonna actually not it, but I've been sitting on that for a long time.

SPEAKER_04 21:22

Well, actually, A11's an actual song.

SPEAKER_11 21:25

How long have you had that joke like written down somewhere?

SPEAKER_06 21:28

Uh I think since the case it's been on a sticky note on his monitor. Bravo.

SPEAKER_05 21:33

Yeah, and you know, I've never heard of that song, and and I played with Jake, I don't know, six, eight months ago, and that was on a set list. I was like, what is this song? I didn't know it was playing background, but it didn't.

SPEAKER_03 21:43

My work week is done. Oh god.

SPEAKER_05 21:50

So I felt like this one's kind of um kind of in line with Ren's last wears my brain a little bit. I might get kidnapped by the FBI, CIA. So Somebody. Um anybody kept up with the Nancy Guthrie case?

SPEAKER_03 22:07

Yeah, about a month ago.

SPEAKER_05 22:08

Anybody about a month ago? Still going on there. But do you know how they got the video of the kidnapper?

SPEAKER_06 22:14

Okay, so I'm gonna go ahead and preface all of this by saying I have I heard about it, Nancy Guthrie. Uh Savannah Guthrie is her daughter. She's on some show. She is um and she got kidnapped and ratings have skyrocketed since the kidnapping. Okay, and uh I've just been told about that. Otherwise, get ready for the beep, Chris. I don't give a fuck.

SPEAKER_05 22:38

Well, here's where you may. So she got kidnapped at night. She had a security system that was inactive because she hadn't paid the subscription. The FBI pulled the video from Blink, and that's where they caught the kidnapper on. So she's not paying the subscription, but it's still recording everything that's going on and reporting it back to Blink.

SPEAKER_07 23:00

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 23:00

So another another um Snapchat. Little I don't know what you call it, a little example I ran across. A student teacher made a comment comment right or wrong, it was probably wrong, but she was saying it in jest. She wasn't saying she was actually going to do it. She was writing a paper, and a student unplugged her computer, and she was like, Ah, I'm gonna shoot my student, and and sent a Snapchat, not a picture with the text, not in in text. It was a picture with the text, the ones that come to you, you see it one time, disappears, poof, gone forever, nobody else ever sees it. Not true. Snapchat reports it to the FBI, FBI reports it to local police, they show up, she gets arrested, and she loses her job. So how how much how much privacy do we really have now?

SPEAKER_07 23:48

None anyway.

SPEAKER_05 23:49

We joke about it all the time. I I say something, I open up my phone, and I have an ad for it on Facebook. I probably have an ad right now for Blank. So on Facebook as soon as I open it.

SPEAKER_06 23:58

I've got this webcam on me that that that's what you're seeing. Exactly. I've got the webcam built into my my MacBook, and I've got the webcam that's in my iPhone. They're all staring at me right now.

SPEAKER_05 24:12

Watching the episode live as it happens.

SPEAKER_06 24:15

They're yeah, they're all three looking at me, and they're getting three different versions of me at the CIA. But you know what the CIA is gonna be? They're gonna be terribly bored with my life.

SPEAKER_05 24:26

Oh, I was gonna say, I thought the show's pretty good, Res. I mean, yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_06 24:30

It's just uh, you know, we we we do this and we hope everybody watches and we have fun with it. We're five friends that do this thing for us in our life. This is a big deal. But to the CIA, you know, this we're not on the pack.

SPEAKER_05 24:42

I don't know, Russ. Imagine if I worked for the CIA. Let's walk through what my day would look like. Oh I'd like to think I'd be trying to catch a serial killer, but really I'd probably be watching some really stupid stuff like I do now on YouTube. Well, yeah, watch it in real life.

SPEAKER_06 24:56

There's no doubt about that.

SPEAKER_05 24:57

You would zoom in on jukebox. Let's check all the jukeboxes in New York City right now, see what K-13 is. Get the camera view.

SPEAKER_04 25:08

Yeah, you know, it's just like your Alexa devices and your uh Google devices that have the little switch that said, you know, turn the microphone off. It's supposed to break that circuit.

SPEAKER_05 25:17

Yeah, yeah, but does it? Of course it's and I think what kind of brought this up is we were driving into eastern Kentucky this weekend, and uh this little boy at school sent my my stepdaughter a message, called her some names, and said some things to her. And and I said, you know, kids think that all these things automatically just disappear, nobody ever sees it. Well, now on Snapchat, you can turn on to save the the messages for 24 hours or longer. So I I don't know. I I told her, I'm like, honey, you have to realize that all these things that you think are private are not private. Uncle Donnie is sitting there at Snapchat headquarters eating his tuna sandwich, reading all your chats. We have a security system with cameras on the outside, we have one in our kitchen. Chris stayed with me Tuesday night. I caught him scratching his nuts and eating my cheese balls.

SPEAKER_11 26:06

Nothing's ever brought you said Uncle Donnie. Is that one of Ring's?

SPEAKER_03 26:13

Funny thing is, is I actually have an Uncle Donnie. So well, there's multiple layers here. I don't even know where to start first. First of all, when you sign up for Facebook, Snapchat, whatever, as soon as you hit enter, agree, you've given up any freedom. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 26:26

Yeah, and now that you bring that up, I'll be right back. All those people out there that maybe listen that think, hey, I'm gonna copy this and post it on my Facebook because it it releases Facebook of any ability for my pictures. It does not you you have given all that up when you clicked I agree.

SPEAKER_04 26:43

Because you never read it.

SPEAKER_03 26:44

On the other end, the technical side of it, uh, both those examples, Snapchat and uh security camera. Yeah, to the user, Snapchat supposedly disappear to the other user. But the company, I'm sure in fine print somewhere, they maintain a certain amount of that data. And especially for the security camera, uh I've always I thought I've seen that they they can keep it up, even though you don't have a subscription, they'll keep up to 14 or 30 days on the back end in case you activate your subscription and they can retroactively go back a few days for you.

SPEAKER_06 27:16

Maybe so raise your hand on the panel here of anyone that has read every single word of a licensing agreement, an end user agreement when you're signing up for these things.

SPEAKER_05 27:27

Uh I'll make a confession. I've probably never read more than not those 15 words at all. Nobody even signed anything, my mortgage, whatever.

SPEAKER_04 27:36

Nobody always remember once on the internet, always on the internet.

SPEAKER_11 27:40

Absolutely. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And if you're joining us, we I really hope that our sponsor at the end of this is like abuse par or something because we've just caused all of our listeners to have extreme anxiety.

SPEAKER_04 27:53

Watch it be Netscape.

SPEAKER_06 27:54

It's gotta be yeah, it's gotta be something retro, you know. So I don't know if that existed back then.

SPEAKER_03 28:00

Also, another great uh documentary that'll go along with this conversation is Social Dilemma. Have you all seen it? I haven't seen that. I've heard about it, I haven't watched it. There's an expert that claims in there that a lot of these coincidences that these things are listening to us. One guy tried to say that the I think it's built on AI, that it's predictive marketing based on just what you've put out there into the world, what your interests are, that it just it's really good at predicting what what ad that you might want to see that's relevant. And just a claim it's coincidence that it might be something you just thought about.

SPEAKER_06 28:33

But when it's just too coincidental for me, what convinced me beyond the shadow of a doubt that it was actually listening to me is that uh I referenced uh an old country song, uh, I mean not like a classic country song or anything back from the nineties uh of a band called BR549. When is that band never went through anybody's head here recently? Never. This has been several years ago.

SPEAKER_04 28:56

All our phones will show an ad for them.

SPEAKER_06 28:58

Uh and and after that, uh on my Facebook I had an ad for BR549, whose relevancy was at an all-time zero. And I that's when I was convinced, beyond a shadow down, and that's been 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_05 29:11

You know, I had a coworker probably 10 years ago. We were playing a softball league, and he was telling me about a brand of bat he just bought that I'd never heard of. And later that night I had an ad for that brand of bat.

SPEAKER_03 29:22

So it definitely listens to you. Well, how about you look or think of something? Don't say it out loud and it shows up. That's happened to me a couple of times.

SPEAKER_05 29:29

Oh that's what freaks me out.

SPEAKER_06 29:32

Yeah, you're talking about ESPN right there.

SPEAKER_03 29:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 29:36

And all your devices talk to each other.

SPEAKER_03 29:38

I seen uh uh I was in my office and I heard hopping. Somebody was hopping. I didn't say a word, and all of a sudden I had uh an ad for moon moonshoes on my computer.

SPEAKER_06 29:49

Well then uh uh Ryan's gonna have uh uh an ad for old man slippers uh because his dog Samson walks around the house. He's a big dog. What is he? He's a doodle anyround and he drags his back feet and it's I swear it sounds like an old man walking through the house in his slippers.

SPEAKER_05 30:08

Well, after we got after we got the podcast last week, uh when we were watching James stream, and uh sorry about that, James, but that was that was so much fun. Oh my god. Russ said, is that Samson walking through the house? He could hear him all the way down the hallway.

SPEAKER_06 30:26

And it's just his back feet. That's hilarious because when my dogs walk on our hardwood floors, you just hear their nails walking along. But his using just like an old man. All right, I guess that leaves Ren with what's in your brain. Uh, because of the last time in your affinity for uh what they called AEPs, UAPs. Um I didn't want to offend you by saying flying saucers are aliens. Uh, I wanted to let you go last and give you the most room.

SPEAKER_11 30:54

Well, this is the time where we have FBI, CIA, Homeland Security. Everybody's watching. They're watching now.

SPEAKER_03 31:00

No aliens tonight. It's really pretty simple. I literally thought of this like maybe an hour or so before we got on here, but uh, I do have a title for it. Smoking birthday parties. Hi, dog. Yeah. I mean, do you ever remember when uh restaurants, you know, had smoking section in Nonsense?

SPEAKER_05 31:20

Yeah, James smoked anywhere.

SPEAKER_11 31:22

My mother smoked while pregnant with me. I know that explains a lot.

SPEAKER_05 31:27

Okay, okay. Well, I mean, long story. The best part Alan Stilgrin's Thunder. I'll bring it up at the end. I'll see if he covers it.

SPEAKER_03 31:34

Well, I mean, I I remember going to these places, most every place had a smoking section and non-section. My parents always preferred the non-smoking, but I don't ever remember us complaining about all those smokers in the back corner over there.

SPEAKER_05 31:49

Just the back corner. That was the best part. There was like a line down the middle with a half wall. I mean, you could be on that side, not on this side.

SPEAKER_03 31:56

Depending on where you're sitting, you could literally have a booth and then a little partition that doesn't even go all the way to the wall, and there's a smoker there like five foot from you.

SPEAKER_04 32:03

Yeah. With their little 10 ashtrays.

SPEAKER_03 32:05

Yeah. But I'm pretty sure McDonald's on the hill in Prestonsburg had a smoking section. You know, as you walk in on the on the front side, it's right there. And it was like a little uh, you know, area that was kind of partitioned off and had a TV up on the wall near the restrooms. Yeah, that's what I was getting to say was by the bathrooms. Yeah, which also served as birthday parties. That's where they you could have the birthday party section. Yeah, yeah. You could have some wild parties there, man. Smoking and birthday and just got the title.

SPEAKER_06 32:37

Smoking birthday party. Thank you, Uncle Donnie. You bought me a carton of Virginia's limb.

SPEAKER_05 32:44

We actually have uh we have a bar, it's at the golf course in Lawrenceburg where they still smoke inside. And then there's a little gas station, it's a little secret, we won't tell anybody because they're not allowed, but these old men smoke in there and have breakfast every morning.

SPEAKER_06 32:58

Hey, uh Dairy Queen in Martin. That was the place there. And I remember when they got their first flat screen TV in there, it was a Visio. And I went in there to eat breakfast one morning. I was working, and I stopped in there to grab breakfast, and I sit down, and there's the old men in their section talking, smoking, and going on. And uh I hear one of them say, Hey, what do you think about that new TV they got in here? That's nice, ain't you? Yeah, yeah. That's one of them VI210s. It was a vizio. Uh all right. Everybody done have you done with yours, Ren, your smoking birthday party. That's it. All right, well, that wraps up segment number one. Ryan, what have you got for us? Segment number dose.

SPEAKER_05 33:43

All right, after a short turnaround and a busy weekend, I learned to fully read the notes. Uh, I just skimmed, saw the subject line, prepared my notes, and I have a full page of information about Ren that's completely useless. And we'll call this segment SOFM Jackass.

SPEAKER_06 34:02

Did Jackass?

SPEAKER_05 34:03

So after reading the notes, I learned that it's actually about uh about the show Jackass, and Jackass 5 will be the last Jackass film, according to Knoxville. So we're gonna pay tribute. I think we mentioned it. Uh what was the segment called? It was MTV when MTV ruled the world. Yeah, uh was I think James's favorite show.

SPEAKER_06 34:22

It was uh he he might be propping it up because yeah, he's his favorite one away.

SPEAKER_05 34:26

I see about that. A lot of disappointment there. We were we thought you were pulling a rin. It was gonna be exciting. You come back just looking like you.

SPEAKER_11 34:34

Yeah, no, my son was crying. I was communicating with my wife real quick. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_05 34:39

So each person will share uh their favorite cast member, and then uh favorite stunt or episode. And we're not limiting it just to the movie, right? Community TV, yeah, movie, just any the whole jackass verse. Yeah, so Russ, uh, let's go ahead and we'll do both. We'll do your favorite cast member and your favorite stunt or episode.

SPEAKER_06 35:00

My favorite cast member, and it may be because it has nothing to do with, you know, uh his pass passing, but um I always thought he was the most even kill of the whole bunch. He was the voice of reason for the whole bunch. And you needed that that uh that kind of balance there because you had the guys that are way off in this side. But Ryan Dunn was always kind of, you know, he was up for everything. He did uh, you know, I'm not gonna mention it because Ryan's probably gonna use it. He did the, you know, a stunt that we're all familiar with and love, and he he would go toe-to-toe with those guys doing all those stunts and stuff, but he was always kind of the most even kill one. And I always thought if I was part of the jackass world, that's how I would be with it. You know, I'd be game to do whatever, but you know, I wasn't gonna go crazy and stuff like that. But uh Ryan Dunn was my my favorite cast member. Now, my favorite um segment, and it's been in the movie I think it's been in the several of the movies, and I believe it might have been in the show, because it's you know, when in the lore of Jackass, it's kind of a more recent thing. But I loved the high five when they had the big huge hand and it was spring loaded, and they brought it back and they'd get them to come in, usually carrying a tray of soup or something, and it would just smack the crap out of them. I loved, loved that. That was that was probably my and it, you know, that's really tame for what they done, but that was my my favorite segment, was was that's what they called it, the high five. So Ryan Dunn and the high five for me.

SPEAKER_05 36:30

All right, Chris, what was your favorite cast member, favorite stunt or episode?

SPEAKER_04 36:36

I believe that my favorite cast member was would be Johnny Knoxville. For one, I mean if it wasn't for him, it probably wouldn't actually happen Jackass hat probably wouldn't have actually happened. Yeah. Once he moved out there, you know, to start a career, he had already had ideas and everything. But for me, I I always looked at him as like he had all these ideas of stunts to do. But he's like, I ain't doing them, you are gonna do them.

SPEAKER_05 37:06

Yeah, you know it was like how one of my high school teachers described me. I got accused of something in high school and they said, Oh, I knew he didn't do it, he probably put somebody up to doing it.

SPEAKER_04 37:16

Right. I mean that to me that's what he always did. It was like, Oh, this is gonna be bad. It's gonna be fun, y'all do it. And then, you know, he'd end up doing it. Yeah, you know, a lot of times not wanting to, but he'd do it and have fun.

SPEAKER_03 37:29

Yeah, he always liked that bull.

SPEAKER_04 37:30

Yes. Um as far as my my my favorite stunt stuff would be some old school stuff, actually stuff that came from the CKY group that joined him. Yeah. Um with the um shopping cart. Riding it off off roofs into um trees or down the hill. Yeah, yeah, into bushes and a big CKY fan. Yeah. So you know the shopping cart thing, that's something I would actually do. Yeah. Not off a roof, but I have done it down a hill. So those were my favorite.

SPEAKER_06 38:10

Uh that that's basically the genesis of of Jackass was Johnny Knoxville was doing that stuff in Knoxville, Tennessee. Uh, because his real name is P. J. Clapp. I don't know if anybody knows that. His real name is what? PJ Clapp. Clapp. That's the L-A P P. Clapp? Yes. PJ Clappy. You're gonna turn my lights off. All right.

SPEAKER_05 38:27

But he obviously know what his high school nickname was. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 38:32

But he adopted the state name of Johnny Knox. We almost doing those type of stunts on local TV there, particularly one that kind of caught the eye of Jeff Tremain, who was doing a skate uh magazine video.

SPEAKER_04 38:43

See if I can get the name of it.

SPEAKER_06 38:44

Is it Big Brother, I think? Skateboard magazine. It's Big Brother, yes. And he, you know, he got shot with uh, I think what was it, 38? 38. Put on the the vest, you know, to test the vest and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 38:54

And that was only on um Big Brother.

SPEAKER_06 38:57

Yeah, and that's when he went to uh to California, met up with Jeff Tremaine and the whole jackass thing started.

SPEAKER_04 39:02

Yeah. They got Bam and them from CKY, and then they got Steve O from the circus in Florida.

SPEAKER_05 39:10

Yep. All right. That's a huge shocker. All right, Grin.

SPEAKER_03 39:15

Me? Yep, you okay sounded like you said Grin with a G in the Grin.

SPEAKER_05 39:22

Grin. Is that your cousin? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 39:25

I gotta go with Steve O, my man Steve O. He uh he took the bit nobody else wanted. Yeah, I was a trooper.

SPEAKER_06 39:33

You're right.

SPEAKER_03 39:34

And I just really like his story of you know overcoming drug addiction and in and back again and all that. Um but just plain and simple. Steve O, he's my guy. Now, my favorite ever prank. Russ, you stole it. It's the it's the high five. But there's a particular one that kills me over every time. I mean, I like them all, but this one, and I even quote it all the time. Just actually, I I binge watched uh Jackass. It was probably two months ago. Actually, it was probably when we mentioned it. Yeah, oh, okay. And I just went on Paramount Plus and went down the rabbit hole of Jackass. But Jackass 3D is what that's from, the high five prank. And it's in the production office, and it's the one where you got Johnny Knoxville winding it up, getting ready to go. And apparently it had some powder or yeah, yeah, he had a bag of flour on it. Flour, okay. Yeah, and we man is standing there in the doorway. He already got his dude or he has his little uh smack in the face. He's standing there and bam is walking toward the doorway. Yes, and uh high five. Johnny lets it go, smack, bam over.

SPEAKER_06 40:40

Powder goes everywhere. He does something something like, hey dude, what's up? High five, or something like that. High five, dude. Uh yeah, you mentioned Steve O. Steve O was one of my favorites too.

SPEAKER_05 40:53

Uh I was in Clearwater on vacation, and I had they thought I had tour my Achilles long story, and and it was a two-hour wait for dinner, so I went and set up the bar. And this old guy was sitting next to me, asked me what happened to my Achilles, and I told him, and he goes, Man, I had this guy at my house uh break his his femur in half. I was like, huh? He's like, Yeah, his femur. Turns out his son was trying to do some YouTube jackass type show. And Steve O had been there. If you go to YouTube and uh and Google Steve-O jumps off bridge in Tampa, you'll see it. They put a uh trampoline in the back of a pickup, jump on the trampoline while they're driving it across the bridge, and he jumps off. The guy's son did it too, and I think it was Steve-O landed flat on his back, goes underwater, and right when before he comes up, a boat goes across. He comes up right behind the boat. And Steve O's, he's he's a maniac. He was up for anything. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 41:50

All right.

SPEAKER_05 41:51

All right, I kind of forgot that I was supposed to ask who's next. Jane, on to you.

SPEAKER_11 41:57

Uh my favorite cast member, just because if something went wrong, it was always to this guy. Or like if there was an injury or just it was absolutely messy, or just got the crap into a stick, Dave England. Dave England. Him and danger Aaron, they're 1A1B when it comes to that, what you just explained. There was a, I don't think it was the high five one. I think they reused that style of a bit, but there was a moment, it may have been the same one. I can't remember. We're gonna find out next week. But Dave was like walking and like he gets like punched either with the high five or something with baby powder, the flower. Oh, it was an airbag.

SPEAKER_06 42:42

Wow, it was a airbag.

SPEAKER_11 42:45

Yeah, yeah. It's like he knocked on a door, yes, like a hotel door, and it was the airbag with uh flower on it, and he was just absolutely confused. Oh, yeah, no idea like that. Johnny's like, come on in. I think we've got a medic in here.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

That was the thing, man. And they were he was already sending out pranks as they were arriving to the set. Yeah, which is great.

SPEAKER_11 43:13

Uh, probably for my favorite stunt. Uh crap. I had it in my head and I forgot it.

SPEAKER_06 43:20

You mentioned crap, that could be a lot of them. Yeah, that could be about a lot.

SPEAKER_05 43:24

See, that was the thing with Jackass. I really liked like the funny stuff, the disgusting stuff. I I I wasn't a big fan of the couple of things. I was there for every bit of it.

SPEAKER_06 43:34

I was there for all of it.

SPEAKER_11 43:35

Oh, I remember I can't think it was it may have been like one of those little one off specials they did after Jackass 3. Uh yeah, because they would do like a Jackass 3.5 and add some stuff. They uh they dressed up Chris Pawneeus as the most realistic looking gorilla and can and was in Phil and April Margera's hotel room. Yeah. And when Phil and April walked into the hotel room, I mean he looked like a gorilla. You literally thought it was a real gorilla first watching it. Yeah. Slinging stuff, breaking it, and everything. And April is freaking out. She ends up running out the door. And Phil runs further back into the hotel room. It was this huge hotel room, huge suite. And you never know what happened to Phil until got the end. And they're like, Where's Phil? He's in there in the bathroom on the toilet. He's like where it was when you ready to do the show, of course. He's like, I had to take a shit.

SPEAKER_05 44:37

Was he standing on it hiding, or did it make him I wonder what it sounded like, Chris? Yes. Yeah, what did it sound like, Chris?

SPEAKER_11 44:48

Yeah. I guarantee it was something like that.

SPEAKER_04 44:52

But you know, I actually thought James was gonna go towards the uh the diarrhea volcano.

SPEAKER_05 44:58

Uh I thought he was gonna say the um porta potty that they put on the like the wrecking ball.

SPEAKER_06 45:04

Yeah, that was Steve O again, you know, the one that did the stunts that nobody else wanted to do. I was gonna mention that one, Ryan, uh, as my honorable mention when they put Steve O in the loaded uh porta potty and used him as a as a wrecking ball.

SPEAKER_03 45:18

I love that one.

SPEAKER_06 45:19

Um, and and I don't think we could get away with talking about jackass and segments, things like that without talking about Johnny Knoxville fighting butter bean.

SPEAKER_05 45:29

Like dude, uh like in Macy's or something.

SPEAKER_06 45:32

Yeah, it was like a little little shop, and he got his bell rung.

SPEAKER_05 45:36

Oh man.

SPEAKER_06 45:38

All right.

SPEAKER_05 45:38

That uh leaves me. Yeah, so my favorite cast member, I'm not sure I have a favorite. Uh I liked all of them pretty equal, Johnny Knoxville, uh, Stevo, Ryan Dunn, I could say the midget, but I feel like that's just a cop out. So I'm gonna talk about the one that I really didn't like, and that was Bam. Yeah, I just Bam just always got on my nerves, and then after he was just an inconsiderate entitled prick, and I just didn't like him. I didn't like the way he treated his parents. Just not a fan of Bam. So that's my stand more than I like any of the others. I dislike Bam that much.

SPEAKER_06 46:14

I watched the crap out of V Villa Bam, though. I love Bam. I loved Uncle Vito.

SPEAKER_05 46:21

Don Vito. Yeah. Now you you know now that you said I probably didn't watch it because I remember him.

SPEAKER_06 46:25

Yeah. That was uh that was that was Phil's brother, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_05 46:29

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but here goes to show how how much of a hypocrite I am. On a previous episode, I mentioned uh the car in the rectum x-ray, and I think that's what Rusty was referencing earlier in his Ryan Dunn. So I don't feel like I can reuse that. So uh, you know, in true hypocritical fashion, after my first statement about BAM, I'm gonna go with when he light fireworks and Phil's Bam. I always love it. You are a fan.

SPEAKER_06 46:58

I wrote that back to back.

SPEAKER_04 47:00

Or the skate park in the house.

SPEAKER_06 47:02

Yeah, he's a fan of Bam, like Chris is a fan of Barry Manila.

SPEAKER_05 47:06

Exactly. I'm a Bam alob. No, there's an alligator in our house.

SPEAKER_11 47:12

Is it real? Is it real? Is it real?

SPEAKER_05 47:16

Didn't they get one of the guys to get in uh get in bed with April one night?

SPEAKER_06 47:20

Yeah, yeah, because he was big like Phil. Poor Phil would come home. Did he have the uh the pube beard? Yes. I mean they put out the regular beard.

SPEAKER_11 47:33

Danger Aaron, Danger Aaron, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 47:35

Okay. Yeah, that was good too, because they pranked Danger Aaron, who he thought was doing a prank. And they they put the yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05 47:42

Oh, it's not sorry for Phil because he'd come home and he'd be like, Oh, I gotta take it up. He'd go in there, he couldn't even get any privacy going back to how much privacy do we really have.

SPEAKER_06 47:51

Right.

SPEAKER_11 47:52

That was on a different thing. There's a guy on TikTok who does uh Bam Margera impression videos, and it's so funny because how spot on is. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_10 48:01

Like we told Don Vito that we're gonna it's great.

SPEAKER_06 48:04

Hey, that was that wasn't a bad impression. That wasn't, yeah. He had that tidal camera. He talked like this and did that with his asses, bam dead.

SPEAKER_10 48:15

So we loaded up uh we loaded Phil's van with a bunch of fireworks, and he has to get up at 3 a.m. That's pretty good, James.

SPEAKER_05 48:25

All right, you gotta do that. Yeah, it is all right.

SPEAKER_06 48:30

Well, that wrap up that segment. That wraps it up. All right, well, we're gonna move on to a game then. Uh James, are you ready? It's uh the return of Guess the Synth.

SPEAKER_05 48:41

Oh, oh, well, I see something's going on with Ren.

SPEAKER_11 48:43

I'm guessing this is on that's good because I have some clips that he would have gotten right. Oh, okay. He can't get the points on it.

SPEAKER_06 48:51

Look, the first one ever I think that he chimed in out of the ether and got.

SPEAKER_11 48:56

He may do that. All right. So just the synth, going basic this week. Uh you all know the rules. First one to buzz in or say the name of the song of which this synth line comes from, gets the point.

SPEAKER_04 49:13

Russ wins.

SPEAKER_11 49:14

And Russ has won so many times. Are we doing the board, Ryan? Yeah, where's that board at, Russ?

SPEAKER_06 49:20

I don't know. I don't know. I might be might have donated that to Goodwill.

SPEAKER_05 49:25

I'll send another one. We'll send another one. I'll just repeat order. It's on the way.

SPEAKER_11 49:30

All right.

SPEAKER_06 49:30

Are we ready? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 49:35

Joe.

SPEAKER_06 49:38

It's John Mayer.

SPEAKER_07 49:42

If you want to roll me, you gotta roll me too.

SPEAKER_05 49:49

If you want to roll me, John Mayer.

SPEAKER_07 49:52

Oh, Angel. Let me know.

SPEAKER_06 50:02

Last train.

SPEAKER_05 50:04

There it is. I was gonna implore my Google to see if I could match up with him and still couldn't do it.

SPEAKER_11 50:13

All right. Ready for song number two? Sure.

SPEAKER_05 50:29

Let's go crazy. Nope.

SPEAKER_11 50:34

A little bit higher here.

SPEAKER_06 50:45

Oh, that one's got me.

SPEAKER_05 50:49

Everybody wants to rule the world. No.

SPEAKER_06 50:53

I would have gotten that one. Do it again, James. He's probably doing a background bridge again. Probably. It's a verse. Um, I don't know. Can you give us a little something more on it? Or is that all you got of it?

SPEAKER_11 51:17

If I give you anything more, you're gonna know it immediately.

SPEAKER_06 51:23

I don't think the three of us are gonna get it otherwise.

SPEAKER_05 51:25

No, I think, but I think you chalked this up as a victory for you, James. So the score is now Russ won, James won. I'll give you that.

SPEAKER_11 51:32

I didn't know I got points on this. You did. All right. First one to say it. Thriller. Thriller! There it is. Okay. It was the verse little line. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 51:51

I was trying to get the tempo of it.

SPEAKER_06 51:52

I was listening to that voice. And I recognized that voice. I was like, I recognize that that voice he's using on that. Okay. How many of these do you have? So that's two of them.

SPEAKER_11 52:05

I got three more. Three more. But I have a tiebreaker if we need it.

SPEAKER_06 52:09

Was that three?

SPEAKER_11 52:10

That's three, right? You got the first one.

SPEAKER_06 52:12

Yeah. John Mayer and Michael Jackson.

unknown 52:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:16

Well, no, there was one here. Oh, never mind. That's the same one that you stumped on.

SPEAKER_06 52:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 52:22

Welcome back.

SPEAKER_06 52:24

Welcome to his brain.

SPEAKER_05 52:26

Ready?

SPEAKER_07 52:27

Yep.

SPEAKER_05 52:39

That's a remix of the Halloween theme.

SPEAKER_06 52:44

Michael Myers on the dance floor.

SPEAKER_05 52:48

Michael Myers and the funky bunch.

SPEAKER_06 52:49

Yeah. That one's got me stumped too, James. You're on one tonight. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 52:53

That almost sounds like something from Ozzy.

SPEAKER_05 52:57

Are you thinking uh it's not it, but uh no more tears start like that? No. Or is that just straight into the bass?

unknown 53:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 53:10

Straight into bass.

SPEAKER_05 53:11

Um does.

SPEAKER_04 53:14

Harry Mason or uh Tinker Train.

SPEAKER_07 53:16

No.

SPEAKER_11 53:18

So this section is an instrumental section. There's some ad lib vocals, and it's right before the final chorus.

SPEAKER_05 53:25

Did he put his frets on backwards?

SPEAKER_11 53:27

No. But it's a very prominent part. That's why I chose this. I thought y'all get it. I'm gonna pull okay. I'll play the line and then go into the chorus.

SPEAKER_07 53:35

All right.

SPEAKER_06 53:42

I know it's a good one.

SPEAKER_11 54:09

I thought you'd get it from that double stab.

SPEAKER_06 54:14

I was getting more of a trigger from what you'd actually originally played. I don't know, that one's got me, James. James Two. James Two, rest what Journey, okay. You walked out on me.

SPEAKER_05 54:41

Yeah. Yeah, you just add the words, and I still don't know it. What is it?

SPEAKER_06 54:46

Journey. Yeah, what's that? It's one of the songs we do. I don't.

SPEAKER_05 54:53

Unless the white yoke. I'll be all right without you.

SPEAKER_11 54:56

There it is.

SPEAKER_05 54:58

Hey, we actually that was a that was kind of a funny throwback to uh last night. Somebody asked if we played any Weezer. Huh. And I replied, did the White Yokim cover it?

SPEAKER_07 55:14

All right. You gonna got two more? Four? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 55:25

Here I go again. We already had that one, didn't we? I know it, but Boys of Summer.

SPEAKER_06 55:33

That's the bridge to Boys of Summer.

SPEAKER_05 55:36

There it is. Yep. Alright, we're at a tie. Russ 2, James 2. Me and Chris. I didn't know I gave points. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11 55:44

Uh last one, right?

SPEAKER_05 55:48

Yes. It's for all the marbles, James. If you stump him, you get your first victory. Might be Russ's first loss as well.

SPEAKER_11 55:58

Alright, you ready? Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_05 56:00

Who would have thought his first loss would come to James?

SPEAKER_06 56:07

Best of what I got. Best of what I got.

SPEAKER_05 56:11

Russ pulls it off. James ain't how we all feel.

SPEAKER_06 56:18

It was bad English. They've done that one.

SPEAKER_11 56:20

Bad English. That's right.

SPEAKER_06 56:22

Uh uh this guy doesn't have any arms. Okay. So he's uh he's reading the newspaper and he uh he finds this wanted ad and it says wanted energetic young man to ring a bell in a church. He's like, oh boy, I could really do that. So I guess he's uh he he runs to this. I mean, I couldn't do it. I'm just talking about the guy. So this guy he runs to the church and he bangs his head on the door, boom, and the priest answers, he's like, Yes, my son. And he says, I've come to ring the bell. And the priest looks at him and he's like, You don't have any arms. And the guy's like, Don't you think I know that already? I'm here to ring the bell. Where's the bell? I'll ring it. So the priest is like, you're gonna have to prove it. So uh, okay, I'll prove it. So they climb up these four flights of stairs, okay? And it takes forever, and they're breathing heavy. They get up there, and there's this big bell on the floor, and it's and he so he's like, Okay, here you go, ring the bell. So the guy has no arms, he backs up, he backs up, and he runs towards the bell and bam! hits it with his head, and the the bell goes bah. And he's like, Wow, the the priest is really impressed. So he's like, I guess you got the job. So for three straight months, this guy is climbing up those four flights of stairs and he rings the bell, and he's like, and he does it like great, and he hits the bell and he rings it, and it's like wow. So, and then this one time he went up four flights of stairs, ring his bell. He done this like 12 times a day uh for like three months. So this one time he ran back, he ran back, and he tripped and he missed the bell, flew out the window, and he lay on the ground, and all the townspeople they started like, oh no, what happened to here? And uh the one guy cradles down and you know he's all splatted on the ground, you know. And uh and this one lady was and this one lady was like, What happened? Who who fell out of the bell tower?
