SPEAKER_06 0:02

David You know Let me just say this before you throw something at me.

SPEAKER_10 0:09

Okay. Let me get something ready to say.

SPEAKER_06 0:11

I love you dearly. Okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_10 0:13

I'm not gonna throw anything at you now.

SPEAKER_06 0:15

I know we discussed the theme. Oh yeah. And um I I I just didn't do a very good job of the thing.

SPEAKER_10 0:23

You didn't do a bad job. It's just I'm very much of a control freak. Uh I was talking to Lisa about this.

SPEAKER_06 0:29

We'll talk to Lisa here in a little bit, too.

SPEAKER_10 0:30

Okay, yeah, but we have a guest. You picked good music. It just didn't have anything to do with the theme you brought up, and I was so inspired by the theme. So we're doing the Ides of March.

SPEAKER_06 0:39

Because it's the 15th of March.

SPEAKER_10 0:41

It is the Ides of March currently, and also um St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. So I threw in some which we have two reasons to celebrate. We'll get into that more. And so I'm playing some Irish songs too. But I figured let's just start it off clean with the band, The Ides of March.

SPEAKER_07 1:02

Ooh, gosh. Valentine's or St. Patty's Day, which is more fun. Either way, Ren and David are here to be your sweetie or bear buddy. The wake-up calls got your back. Going big this Sunday morning.

SPEAKER_17 4:02

You know I love you.

SPEAKER_10 4:12

He'll tell us a story all about it. Hey Dave.

SPEAKER_06 4:15

Hey, Ren. I guess we're live, huh?

SPEAKER_10 4:16

We are. I tried to warn you.

SPEAKER_06 4:19

You did.

SPEAKER_10 4:19

But we've got so many fun people in the studio today. So we're it's feeling jovial.

SPEAKER_06 4:24

And I and I was really enjoying our conversation. I I felt like we were never gonna start recording because you you and Lisa hit it off pretty good, kind of like you and George did. Yes. So that that's a good thing, by the way, Lisa.

SPEAKER_08 4:37

She's a neat lady.

SPEAKER_06 4:39

Thank you. So is Lisa. Yeah. So here's the deal is that you have to pass the REN test.

SPEAKER_08 4:46

Oh, right on.

SPEAKER_06 4:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:46

So I think I did. Well, she passed my test.

SPEAKER_10 4:50

And that's what's important too.

SPEAKER_06 4:51

That's good point.

SPEAKER_10 4:52

That's what we always gotta remember is that people have to pass our tests, but we have to pass their tests, you know? Like it's not just a one-way street.

SPEAKER_06 4:59

Well, G O J is here too. We'll talk to him maybe. I don't know. If he's in the mood. Yeah, if he's in the mood. But it was the same kind of deal. I felt the same way like I was in another room when you first met George because you guys just hit it off and I was like sitting back going, okay. Okay, we gotta record.

SPEAKER_10 5:16

Yes, yeah. No, I I actually I like a lot of people. I'm not talkative with a lot of people because I don't always feel comfortable talking with people. So if I feel comfortable, I think that's you know a good sign for future relationships.

SPEAKER_06 5:29

Yeah, I think so too. Alright, well it's K-S-J-E, it's the wake-up call, W U C, whatever you want to call it. Uh of course it's with Ren and uh myself and um what we're doing. I hesitate even to bring it up, but we're doing the Ides of March.

SPEAKER_10 5:46

No, it's a good idea because it's the Ides of March today, March 15th, the middle of March. Um it's it's from the Roman calendar, and they didn't used to mark their days uh e month to month in Rome. So it was like the first full moon of March was the Ides of March. And there's a lot of um religious ceremonies that happen on it, but it's most famous because it's the day that Julius Caesar was assassinated.

SPEAKER_06 6:10

So kind of a June brute C. C.

SPEAKER_10 6:14

I'm learning Spanish right now in class, so that's where my brain goes to.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

So was I thought he was Italian?

SPEAKER_10 6:22

Well he was Yeah, Rome's in Italy, right?

SPEAKER_06 6:25

Wasn't he? Yeah. So Italian for Yes and C.

SPEAKER_10 6:30

I don't know. Do you know, Lisa? I know you've been to Italy.

SPEAKER_08 6:35

C, I think it was C Do you know, George?

SPEAKER_10 6:39

There we go.

SPEAKER_06 6:42

There we go. Well the music I pulled originally, you you were very diplomatic.

SPEAKER_10 6:47

I was uh I was But I can tell you were frustrated. No, it wasn't even frustration.

SPEAKER_06 6:52

It's Yes it was.

SPEAKER_10 6:54

Okay, fine. Yes, I was very frustrated because you pulled this great music, and one of the songs was Vehicle by Eyes of March, which we just played. Um, but it didn't have anything to do with the Ides of March. It's good music, Shining Star, Ooh, Child 25 or 6 to 4. But I was like, what does this have to do with Ides of March? And uh so I I made a new playlist. Redid it. Ren approved, and um also because um St. Patrick's Day is coming up, March 17th.

SPEAKER_06 7:23

So I threw in the somebody's birthday, from my understanding.

SPEAKER_10 7:26

Yes, as far as I know.

SPEAKER_06 7:27

Do are we gonna sing?

SPEAKER_10 7:28

Yeah, we will in a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 7:30

We will in a little bit.

SPEAKER_10 7:32

But for now, maybe I'll sing it in French, because I know happy birthday in French. Oh wow, that might be cool. And uh so yeah, this this episode is full of a lot of songs about being in the middle. So I got like stuck in the middle with you, the middle by Jimmy.

SPEAKER_06 7:45

Steeler Wheel, right? Steelers Wheel, stuck in the middle with you.

SPEAKER_10 7:48

Steelers Wheel, yes. Not Bob Dylan. Lots of people think it's Bob Dylan for some reason. But also, Lisa mentioned the dropkick Murphy's because um St. Patrick's stays right around the corner, and so I was like, oh, that's a great idea. So I threw in some Irish songs too. You're welcome. Oh, it's a great song. It's great, great.

SPEAKER_06 8:04

So this is kind of a a I mean I don't want to put any pressure on Lisa, but this is kind of her interview. Yeah. Yes. And uh so I don't know if I told you. Hold on. So what what we try to do, George, if I happen to be gone, and George takes my place.

unknown 8:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 8:23

Okay. So when so Ren can take some time off.

SPEAKER_10 8:26

Oh, right on.

SPEAKER_06 8:27

You would be taking her place.

SPEAKER_10 8:28

Uh me? Yeah. We didn't warn you about this, did we? No. Are you serious? Oh my god.

SPEAKER_06 8:35

Yeah, well I don't know. I will get with Ren. We'll get the music, so you don't have to do any of that. You just have to sit and look pretty like she does.

SPEAKER_10 8:42

Oh yes, and Dave would run the board.

SPEAKER_06 8:44

And I'll run the board all the years.

SPEAKER_10 8:47

Thank you. I've got makeup on. Oh, it only enhances. It only enhances what's already there.

SPEAKER_07 8:54

Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_10 8:55

Wow.

SPEAKER_07 8:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_10 8:56

Yeah. But yeah, Dave, Dave and I have been trying to have some contingency plans in place in case we need some time off or whatever.

SPEAKER_08 9:04

You might want to do a chat with all your fans.

SPEAKER_07 9:13

We don't care what they think.

SPEAKER_10 9:14

They do what we say.

SPEAKER_07 9:16

Is that kind of like a furlough from the nut house? Kind of. That's exactly what it is.

SPEAKER_10 9:22

I am a nuthouse. There we go.

SPEAKER_06 9:25

You're gonna fit into this one.

SPEAKER_10 9:27

So to me, this isn't quite an interview for you. More maybe just testing the waters for both of us. Like I said earlier, you know, you're you gotta pass our test, but we have to pass your test as well.

SPEAKER_06 9:38

Oh, there you go.

SPEAKER_10 9:39

But you're already passing, so you're fine, don't worry about it.

SPEAKER_08 9:41

You guys are the upper epsilon now. I I have a long way to go.

SPEAKER_06 9:45

You'll get there.

SPEAKER_10 9:46

You'll get there. It's fun. A lot of it is.

SPEAKER_06 9:49

And I don't know what I would do without her.

SPEAKER_10 9:52

I feel the same way about you, Dave. I'm getting emotional.

SPEAKER_06 9:55

It's a mutual admiration society. We do, we do. And and nobody can put quite put their finger on. It's not quite like father-daughter, and I know we need to go to school.

SPEAKER_10 10:05

Yeah, it's not quite it's not quite mentor mentee. I don't know why. It's almost like we're work husband and wife sometimes. Yeah. So we're just we're we're we're good friends. That's at the very least. I always describe you as my radio buddy.

SPEAKER_08 10:19

I like the way you guys are honest with me. It's very very obvious. There's not any there's not any weird, like, oh no, no.

SPEAKER_06 10:31

We we uh get along with it. Yeah, the subject that we've roached off my computer even even more.

SPEAKER_10 10:39

Well, and Dave's seen me in some pretty like low places, which um you know, I I struggle with my mental health, and sometimes I'm not always the brightest in the bushes. Right, and when you have that person who's seen you in those low places and still supports you and still loves you, it means a lot. So Dave Dave is that person for me.

SPEAKER_06 10:56

Alright, well, let's do some songs. What because I think that's what we're supposed to do.

SPEAKER_10 10:59

Yeah, something about that.

SPEAKER_06 11:00

We do have coming up though, we're gonna have some uh Debonese. Debonese and of course the wonderful uh Xana Bren. Zanobren, and then we have a uh uh George, we had George on the spot. Yes, George was J O G was on the J O G uh J G-O-J was on the spot.

SPEAKER_10 11:17

I always say J-O-G too.

SPEAKER_06 11:19

That's easy for you to say. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_10 11:23

Well, we're all here, we're all hanging out, we're stuck in the middle with each other, clowns to the left of us, jokers to the right. Here's Steelers wheels stuck in the middle with you.

SPEAKER_02 11:33

I love them. Stuck middle wheel.

SPEAKER_13 11:46

Well done, give you tonight. I got the feeling of something right. I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair. And I'm wondering how I get down the stairs. Clouds to the left of me. Joke us to the right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you. Yes, I'm stuck in the middle with you. And I'm wondering what it is I should do. It's so hard to keep the smile from my face. Bounce to the left meet joke still right. Here I am stuck in the middle with you.

SPEAKER_16 12:32

When you started out with it, and your brother's messy dog, step feel on the back of stage, that don't make some sense at all.

SPEAKER_13 13:04

But I can see it makes no sense at all. Is it good or go to steep on top? I don't think that I can take anymore.

SPEAKER_16 13:18

Joke steel right, here I am stuck in the middle with you, and you're just saying I don't know I can't get tonight.

SPEAKER_13 14:18

I got the feeling something right. I'm so scared I kissed a fall on my chair And I wanna get down the stairs to the right Joe kiss to the right, stack in the middle with you down, stack in the middle with you.

SPEAKER_07 14:53

Whether it's background or in your foreground, the wake-up call on KSJE is where it's at the end of the house.

SPEAKER_10 17:30

Oh, that was pretty amazing. I love the dropkick Murphys.

SPEAKER_06 17:35

Dropkick Murphys.

SPEAKER_10 17:36

I know they use that song uh for like a couple of Guinness commercials, because Guinness is Irish, right?

SPEAKER_06 17:42

Yes.

SPEAKER_08 17:42

Yeah, yeah. There's a series on on Netflix now. Oh, about the family. Yes.

SPEAKER_10 17:47

Yes. Oh, I love period dramas. I should watch that.

SPEAKER_06 17:50

Well, we would like to welcome Lisa to the little group. Of course, uh G O J is here as well, and we're doing the March, which is March 15th, which is today.

SPEAKER_10 18:02

It is, yes.

SPEAKER_06 18:03

And we're gonna talk a little bit about St. Patty's Day, but right now I have something that I would like to share.

SPEAKER_10 18:08

Oh.

SPEAKER_06 18:08

I think I have a word or two. At least one. He's always had his own language.

SPEAKER_07 18:13

Wren and I like to humor him. Here's David Knees.

SPEAKER_06 18:17

Are you ready for this? Sometimes I feel like I'm clairvoyant.

SPEAKER_10 18:21

Okay, clairvoyant.

SPEAKER_06 18:22

Clairvoyant. That's my uh day, uh my word of the day. One who has the power of seeing that which is invisible to another, namely that he is a blockhead.

SPEAKER_10 18:36

I'd say so, yeah. A lot of clairvoyance is just uh yeah, calling people out.

SPEAKER_06 18:43

That's exactly right. Exactly right. And you know, we can't say what I'd like to, but you know, you'd like to holler BS. Or, you know.

SPEAKER_10 18:52

Yes.

SPEAKER_06 18:53

That's B S.

SPEAKER_10 18:55

B. S.

SPEAKER_06 18:56

Yeah. K-S-J-E. I'm David.

SPEAKER_10 18:59

I'm Ren.

SPEAKER_06 19:00

We have Lisa as a guest. Hi. Hi. G-O-J is here as uh kind of a witness and testing out his new chair. Trying to be quiet and hover in the background. That's hard for you to do, I know. I I saw you on the corner of my eye shaking.

SPEAKER_14 19:17

Trying to hold anything.

SPEAKER_06 19:22

But we're doing Ides of March songs.

SPEAKER_10 19:24

We're doing Ides of March, which is more of a like um important time for the ancient Romans. Um, it was uh, you know, March is is named after the god of war, Mars. And in a lot of Roman calendars, March was the um beginning of the year. It was their January. So it was you know how Chinese New Year kinda happens later on in the year compared to the Gregorian calendar. That's kind of what the the Roman calendar was like. March was their first month of the year. And um the Guides of March is obviously most famous because that's when Julius Caesar was assassinated and it was a huge turning point in Roman history. But also two days from now, on March 17th, we have not only Lisa's birthday, lovely Lisa's birthday, uh we have St. Patrick's Day.

SPEAKER_06 20:09

I'm gonna tell a story on myself about St. Patty's Day. For years I thought I was Irish because my grandparents' name was Patrick.

SPEAKER_10 20:16

Okay, fair enough. No? Did you do Ancestry DNA?

SPEAKER_06 20:21

No, no, I well, yes, kind of. But I found out that it was Patrick was is German. Uh primarily it was German. But I was told that they had dropped it was O Patrick and they dropped the O.

SPEAKER_10 20:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 20:33

But no, German. They were full, full blood German. Yes. And then English. Mills is English.

SPEAKER_10 20:40

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 20:40

So I'm German English.

SPEAKER_10 20:42

Cool. That's cool. I'm pretty German English myself.

unknown 20:44

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:45

Maybe that's why we get along.

SPEAKER_10 20:46

Yeah. There's something in our DNA that we just recognize each other and cousins. Maybe long lost cousins.

SPEAKER_07 20:53

So does that explain why you call her Hun sometimes?

SPEAKER_10 20:59

The Huns.

SPEAKER_06 21:02

Okay, I thought it was a Huns joke. I I don't I was trying to think whether I'd ever called you Hun, but I don't think so. I've called you Sweetie, and that's.

SPEAKER_10 21:08

You've called me Sweetie, you called me Sweetie, you call me Deer.

SPEAKER_06 21:11

Deer, yeah. Yeah, you've Deer Rand.

SPEAKER_10 21:13

You might have called me Hun.

SPEAKER_06 21:14

Well, okay.

SPEAKER_10 21:15

I respect it.

SPEAKER_06 21:16

Okay.

SPEAKER_10 21:16

I just thought that was a you're from the South. You're from Missouri and and you lived in New Orleans for a while, so I just thought that was a southern kindness. Is that what people in the South do?

SPEAKER_06 21:26

Yeah, kind of. Yeah. I was in Texas more than anything.

SPEAKER_10 21:30

So Okay, yeah, that'll do it.

SPEAKER_06 21:32

That'll do it. Sweetie.

SPEAKER_10 21:34

But so none of us here are Irish. Lisa, do you know if you're Irish? I have a tiny bit. I'm very oh very cool.

SPEAKER_06 21:40

Hines fifty seven is we like to say.

SPEAKER_10 21:43

I like to call it the American dream. Anytime somebody's made up of a dump a bunch of uh you know what you are, George?

SPEAKER_07 21:51

I think the closest part of me would be an Irish wolf hound somewhere in there. Uh and I wouldn't begin to be able to explain.

SPEAKER_06 22:03

Do you howl at midnight? Full moon?

SPEAKER_08 22:08

No, I usually so here's the howl. No, that sounds like a blast.

SPEAKER_10 22:24

Oh, okay. So you were born on March 17th on a full moon. Okay, so if my research is correct, you were actually born on if you were born in ancient Rome, you would have been born on the Ides of March. Because the Ides of March was the first full moon of March.

SPEAKER_08 22:39

Interesting. So that's kind of cool. That would have been a distractive thing.

SPEAKER_10 22:44

Everyone would have been like, this is an omen for good or bad, we don't know.

SPEAKER_06 22:49

So the songs that I'm playing that I pulled, but one of them was the one you pulled.

SPEAKER_10 22:56

I pulled, I played Vehicle by the ICO. One day I'll play Dave's songs. Because even last week, what we did Saturday Night Live, you pulled a bunch of songs, and I was like, I'll play some of these, I guess.

SPEAKER_06 23:10

Well, so for the next Saturday Night Live, which is coming up in a couple of weeks, or Saturday night, but we're gonna do the Saturday Night Live because we're gonna do when you first were introduced to it. We did when I was the very first ones, which was just Saturday night.

SPEAKER_10 23:24

Which is 1975. Yeah. I'd probably be able to tell you I remembered like from 2001 onward for Saturday Night Live at that point was Saturday Night Live.

SPEAKER_06 23:34

Wow. Yeah, that was Saturday Night Live. That was was that uh that wasn't was that Tina Faye?

SPEAKER_10 23:41

Tina Faye, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Polar, Maya Rudolph, Will Forte.

SPEAKER_06 23:46

I still watch some of that. Um the newer ones I don't I haven't been able to get into it.

SPEAKER_10 23:51

It's alright, it's hit or miss. But we will save that for our Saturday Night Live show. Um but right now we're kind of celebrating the middle of things. Um and I just wanted to throw in a couple of facts about um St. Patrick's Day real quick before we go into another song. It's traditionally a religious and cultural holiday held on the 17th of March, um representing the death date of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, but it's also come become a bit of a like a cultural holiday for Ireland itself, especially the diaspora of of Irish settlers throughout the world, like Canada, um North America, Australia, New Zealand, just kind of celebrating the Irish tradition, even if it's it's really strayed from the traditional religion religious vibe that it had.

SPEAKER_06 24:39

In in Ireland it's celebrated a little bit different than we do here. It's more of a religious ceremony in Ireland than it is here. Here it's a drinking ceremony.

SPEAKER_10 24:47

It's a drinking ceremony.

SPEAKER_06 24:48

That's right, green beer, green pee-pee.

SPEAKER_10 24:52

Sure. Uh uh corn corn beef. I wouldn't know about that. I know that I wouldn't know so much about.

SPEAKER_06 24:59

Corn beef. Oh, yeah, corn beef. Corn beef and cabbage. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_10 25:03

Which I hear is is more of an American, an Irish American dish. It is. They don't really eat that in in Iran. Oh yeah. I like corned beef and cabbage, all right. It's all right.

SPEAKER_06 25:14

I love cooked cabbage, so yeah.

SPEAKER_10 25:16

Okay, well, cool. Uh, we're going back to the Ides of March. I'm gonna play a classic. It's what I think of when I hear the middle. This is Jimmy Eat World with Oh, right on the middle. Yay!

SPEAKER_06 25:28

I'm not familiar with Jimmy Eat World, but I'll give it a shot.

SPEAKER_02 25:39

Hey, don't cut yourself off yet. It's only in your head you feel that's a look down on. Try your best. Try everything you can. Don't you go and what the tell them about your wrong way? It just takes two time, don't let yourself dust. Do your best, everything.

SPEAKER_07 28:13

You're jamming with Ren and David on the KSJE Sunday morning wake-up call. Okay, I'm ready to sling out this news dropping. Uh I will never get over the inclination to want to do a 3-2-1 countdown, but I know in the sophisticated digital age, we don't need to do that anymore. So, with a clearing of the throat, I'll launch right into it. This is George of the Jungle on location for some reason with another WUC on the spot news dropping. Police have arrested Davo the Clown, cousin to the famous Bozo the Clown. Daivo is charged with attempting to steal a package of balloons from a department store. Dave O appeared at his arraignment in thick, sad face makeup and told the judge, Your Honor, by stealing those balloons, I really blew it. But my bozo cousin gets away with this kind of thing all the time. I step out of line just once and I get busted. It's just not fair, Your Honor. Davo's cheerful appeal was accompanied by a chorus of sympathetic awesome in the courtroom. The judge, whose grandkids are reportedly big fans of Davo, paid for the balloons himself and handed down a suspended sentence. WUC news droppings are brought to you in part by the Jolly Time Rental Clown Service, now recruiting. Are you a defeated or impeached politician, disbarred lawyer, disgraced bureaucrat, out-of-work radio disc jockey, or anyone else who has a history of making a fool of yourself in public? And are you looking to supplement your now meager income? Turn that valuable experience into money-making potential at the Jolly Time Red A Clown service. Those with uncanny resemblance to any Stephen King character need not apply. This is George of the Jungle with WUC On the Spot News. Whenever there's a news dropping, we step right in it.

SPEAKER_10 34:29

With their lead singer who's very inspired by traditional Gaelic singing. And that's pretty cool because off the mic, Lisa and I were having a big conversation about ancestry and how important it is to get in touch with your roots so you can understand not only your own story, but the story of the people who brought you to where you are.

SPEAKER_06 34:46

Oh, absolutely. Well, I didn't you guys were talking in George and I. I think this is the most people we've had in the studio while we're recording it one time.

SPEAKER_10 34:54

It's been a while, yeah, at the very least. I know we've had at least four people in here before, but this is the first time in a long time.

SPEAKER_07 34:59

And if you factor in the multiple personality disorders, we could have.

SPEAKER_10 35:04

This room's just overflowing. Yeah. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_06 35:07

Well, I can tell there's a lot of warmth in here on the side of more. Sybil in here somewhere.

SPEAKER_10 35:13

Sybil. Oh my god, Sybil. That movie gave me a panic attack when I was a kid. Because it was just so stressful. Anyway. Not that that has anything to do with anything.

SPEAKER_06 35:23

It is K S J E. It's uh W-U-C, as we like to call it in the biz.

SPEAKER_10 35:28

With the L and D.

SPEAKER_06 35:30

L and D.

SPEAKER_10 35:30

For the L and G, ladies and gentlemen.

SPEAKER_06 35:33

Exactly. And we have uh L and G as well here.

SPEAKER_10 35:36

Oh my gosh. That's all coming together.

SPEAKER_06 35:39

What a double entendre that was.

SPEAKER_10 35:41

Oh, incredible.

SPEAKER_07 35:42

We have liquefied natural gas in here. Yes. I'm glad none of you are smoking.

SPEAKER_06 35:47

Some of us have a little bit more gas than others. Um I want to say that we have um I wanted to say uh Rinlish, but that's not it.

SPEAKER_10 35:57

No, we have the Zen of Ren coming up. I think I've got a fun one. It very much plays on the idea of the eyes, the middle of something, and how sometimes, you know, we think of the middle as the slog. We want the new beginnings or we want the bright, important endings, but uh we don't often appreciate the the comfortable warm middle. So that's where we are. In the middle of March.

SPEAKER_06 36:17

The comfort like a cream-filled donut.

SPEAKER_10 36:20

Hopefully, no Caesars are are assassinated again. Hopefully we're past that point in history.

SPEAKER_06 36:26

Gosh, I you know I'm not gonna hold my breath.

SPEAKER_10 36:30

That's a loaded question. I know. As soon as I said it, I was like, maybe I shouldn't have said that, but you know, well, uh that's what we want.

SPEAKER_06 36:36

I mean, that's you and I, we do this show, we don't talk politics, we don't talk any of that. No, we try to bring light and good feelings to folks. That's what we try to do.

SPEAKER_10 36:47

Precisely.

SPEAKER_06 36:48

And I was more just world that is rough.

SPEAKER_10 36:51

Yeah, it's rough. And more than anything, I just hope that, you know, as a society we've grown and become more loving and understanding. Is that that's all I was trying to say.

SPEAKER_06 36:59

And you know what? I think I agree with that for sure.

SPEAKER_10 37:02

So and you know, that's part of what St. Patrick's Day was about. I think we forget that the reason why a lot of these holidays have become national holidays is because it was our government's way of trying to get the larger population of people to accept the differences that make us so great. Like um Columbus Day, which obviously is is under a lot of scrutiny these days because Columbus himself wasn't a good guy. But originally it was put in place to celebrate how America was dis quote unquote discovered by an Italian man so that we could embrace our Italian ancestry and our Italian American um you know, fellow citizens.

SPEAKER_06 37:40

Solid, solid point. I just, you know, it's like I don't know who said it, but it's I wanna can we all just get along?

SPEAKER_14 37:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 37:47

Let's all just get along.

SPEAKER_14 37:48

Why is it so hard?

SPEAKER_06 37:50

I don't know. I have a lot of ne I have a lot of things that I think why it is, but we're not gonna get into those. We're gonna stay positive.

SPEAKER_10 37:59

I will say sometimes I do think it is because people are online too much.

SPEAKER_06 38:03

Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_10 38:04

Saying that as somebody who's chronically online, it's just cyberbullying is way out of the way. Cyberbullying, and it's also easier to focus in on the little tiny details that keep us apart. Whereas sometimes you just need to go out, touch some grass, as the kids say, and and talk to another human being and find out you have more in common than you thought.

SPEAKER_07 38:22

And just think of how wonderful online the community would be, the whole larger uh thing if you eliminated everything that people say that could get your face popped inside out if you said it in person to somebody. So you're easier to sling out the uh insults and things like that when you can get away with it and nobody can that's that's totally true.

SPEAKER_10 38:49

A lot of people are getting too comfortable with saying some things they wouldn't say in person.

SPEAKER_08 38:53

I don't do that. I absolutely like I try and keep positive.

SPEAKER_06 39:00

I I try not to. I don't think I have.

SPEAKER_10 39:02

Well, and even when you disagree with someone, you can disagree in a constructive or polite way.

SPEAKER_06 39:07

Exactly. And you we need to come to terms with we're gonna just have to if we can't come to the same conclusion, yeah. We're gonna have to look at each other and say, well, Red, uh we're just gonna have to agree to disagree.

SPEAKER_10 39:20

I agree.

SPEAKER_06 39:20

That's it.

SPEAKER_08 39:23

Next subject. Next subject.

SPEAKER_10 39:25

I'm very much somebody who likes to try and find common ground rather than to find um something to argue about.

SPEAKER_06 39:32

Well, he did an excellent job today when you came to look at the playlist.

SPEAKER_10 39:38

I will stand by my statement. You picked good music. It just had nothing to do with the eyes of March.

SPEAKER_07 39:43

Ryan, I love you.

SPEAKER_10 39:43

I love you too.

SPEAKER_07 39:44

What is it they they say it's uh easier to ask for forgiveness than permission?

SPEAKER_10 39:49

Correct.

SPEAKER_07 39:50

Go ahead and change it, and what's he gonna do?

SPEAKER_06 39:53

No, she didn't she she didn't ask permission, she just changed it. I did, but she did exactly.

SPEAKER_10 39:59

I didn't ask for permission so much as I I let you know that I was gonna do it.

SPEAKER_06 40:03

That's right. There you go.

SPEAKER_10 40:05

Yeah. Okay, so this next song is once again an Irish song. Um I'm I'm curious if it fits in with St. Patrick's Day. It's from the movie Sinners. Has anybody seen the movie Sinners? I have not.

SPEAKER_03 40:15

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_10 40:16

About Irish vampires. Um that sounds good. It's a pretty good movie.

SPEAKER_03 40:21

I like vampires.

SPEAKER_10 40:22

Oh, it's really fun if you like vampires, especially. It takes place in 1930s, Mississippi, and it is about uh a vampire who's come all the way from Ireland for various reasons, and he's turning the community into vampires so that he can grow his own his own personal diaspora of vampires in. And this is a song that was really popular.

SPEAKER_06 40:41

Diaspora.

SPEAKER_10 40:42

Diaspora. Do you know what that means?

SPEAKER_06 40:43

No, no clause.

SPEAKER_10 40:46

It's a population of people who have moved from their original country.

SPEAKER_06 40:50

There you go. There's Rinlish.

SPEAKER_10 40:51

So we have a large diaspora diaspora of Irish of Irish people in America. Yes.

SPEAKER_07 40:58

It's like dispersion is what the word related word in English is.

SPEAKER_10 41:02

Dispersion.

SPEAKER_07 41:02

So you can think of those Irish vampires bleed green.

SPEAKER_10 41:06

No. I don't even think they I don't even think they bleed.

SPEAKER_06 41:10

No.

SPEAKER_10 41:12

They bite.

SPEAKER_06 41:12

Yeah, they bite.

SPEAKER_10 41:13

They do dance though. That's why a lot of people like this scene because it had a bunch of Irish vampires river dancing.

SPEAKER_06 41:19

I bleed green because I graduated from Param Recon High School fighting Scorpion.

SPEAKER_10 41:24

There you go.

SPEAKER_06 41:25

SPEAKER_10 41:30

So you went to FHS. Right on. I went to FHS, but I didn't graduate. We don't talk about that.

SPEAKER_07 41:37

And I remember uh I graduated in uh 19 oh no, I'm not now I've got to say it.

SPEAKER_10 41:44

I know that for some reason.

SPEAKER_07 41:46

Back when that was the only high school in farming.

SPEAKER_10 41:49

Oh before PV.

SPEAKER_06 41:50

That's right. Before way for us. We had one of the largest graduating classes before PV actually opened.

SPEAKER_10 41:56

That's pretty cool. My dad graduated from FHS, my mom graduated from FHS.

SPEAKER_06 42:00

I didn't know your mom did, but I guess you yeah.

SPEAKER_10 42:03

I wonder.

SPEAKER_06 42:04

I guess I should have known that.

SPEAKER_08 42:05

Yeah. But I bet I'm the oldest one here.

SPEAKER_06 42:08

Oh, I'd be like, did you say you're the oldest one here?

SPEAKER_08 42:11

I think so.

SPEAKER_06 42:12

I don't think so. Well, let's hammer that.

SPEAKER_08 42:15

I'm definitely older than him and her.

SPEAKER_06 42:16

All right, well, let's go to song and we'll talk about it. Oh, yeah, I would say that, but we'll go to song, we'll talk about it.

SPEAKER_10 42:21

Well, this is uh Rocky Road to Dublin, which was featured very prominently in the Sinners movie, which probably just won a bunch of awards at the Oscars. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 42:29

I'm creaming ice cream.

SPEAKER_10 42:31

Here we go. Rocky Road. Yeah, there we go.

SPEAKER_12 42:33

A brand new pair of brooks to rattle over the box and frighten all the dogs on the rocky road to double. One, two, three, four, five. One in the baby mouth on me home, my starts and left the girls of chill money. Little can hardly have the mother combined to be my gifts and double.

SPEAKER_06 50:22

We're gonna have to do a Mills mumblings to get all this in.

SPEAKER_06 51:23

That was nice.

SPEAKER_10 51:30

I used to give David an exceedingly hard amount of time because he used to say something he would do all the time. It made me feel good because it it makes me feel profound.

SPEAKER_06 51:42

Yes, you were you were definitely profound and not perfectly profane like I am. So yeah, good deal. Listen, I can hardly wait for next week. I have no clue what we're doing next week. Is it time for another Saturday night live? No.

SPEAKER_10 51:54

SPEAKER_06 52:00

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah, I think you're absolutely right.

SPEAKER_10 52:06

A show about songs that uh are clearly about something else, but are calling it something else. Much like my dingling. Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 52:16

I was gonna say so, but let's move on. You look at me when you said my dangling, I am not him.

SPEAKER_06 52:44
