Speaker 4:He's subtly divisive or divisive.

Speaker 3:Do you think Lucy didn't curse to Charlie Brown? Come on.
Speaker 1:Oh, good evening, Patty Patty. Yes, he just jumped in, let's get the chat on the board. There, there we go, so we can all see it, it'll come up next. So, yeah, thanksgiving, thanksgiving and in music is really not. There's no correlation, right? It's not funny. Like, okay, this music for Valentine's Day, which is a half-assed holiday, there's music for the Fourth of July, which is a real holiday, right, there's music for Easter right, music for Easter. There's music for St Patrick's Day.
Speaker 2:There's music for fucking Columbus Day.
Speaker 1:Right, there's music for every other Thanksgiving music Like not really, not really. Why is that?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I'm feeling I'm talking some classical pieces, even Alice's restaurant, I mean, that's a story, but it just that just happened to become a Thanksgiving tradition. It really wasn't intended to be, I don't think. Yeah, it's where it was, you know, except for the novelty songs.
Speaker 1:I have a list. They call it the 45 best Thanksgiving songs.
Speaker 3:We'll see A lot of these are about being thankful, but they're not about Thanksgiving Like. Thank you from Led Zeppelin is a great song, great loving song about as white Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I mean. The only one that I found really a food Thanksgiving day by Ray Davies.
Speaker 3:He has a song called that yeah, written by an Englishman, go figure Right.
Speaker 1:Right. So yeah, let's, let's get right into it. So in front of me I have, on this day in rock and roll history, thanksgiving of the rock events that happened on Thanksgiving. All right, so we have Thanksgiving 1966, with fellow on November 24th. Remember, thanksgiving used to be the last Thursday of the month, was it? Yes, but because of capitalism and in the in the name of profit and in money, they moved it to the third Thursday of the month, didn't they? I?
Speaker 4:heard something. How does that profit? I might have a has another week to sell Christmas shit. I might have an in a logical reference to add to that.
Speaker 1:Did you say penological?
Speaker 4:I'm not saying penological in a logical.
Speaker 3:I love it when you get the logical. This is going to be great Sanglinly in a logical analogy to the study of wine.
Speaker 1:Well, please, please, tell us, Mr Dr Professor Sangwini.
Speaker 4:Well, so every year in France releases the Beaujolais Nouveau. It's the first pressing of the Beaujolais wine. It's a region, they press it, they bought it. It's like pop, it's like soda, so it's a big deal. So they do it the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. But I think I think in France I might be wrong but they have to do it the third. They can't be released until the third Wednesday. So I think if they wait too long, maybe that little little tie in there, maybe if they wait too long, I said well, the ties with the capitalism, like you said, yeah, I'm gonna, I didn't know.
Speaker 4:All right, I'm gonna research that, and next week I'm gonna tell you what that was.
Speaker 1:You had a.
Speaker 4:Luther. You had a Luther before the show and he was just the fan down and sleep.
Speaker 1:Sleep apnea gets me something.
Speaker 3:Sorry, by the way your brother's not here to tell me to be. You know to behave, so you'll see.
Speaker 1:You'll see no Lou, that was a very good wine reference.
Speaker 4:Nice.
Speaker 1:Try yeah let's try talking about wine and drink wine in front of the alcoholic. That's all. Don't worry guys, You're not affecting my sobriety at all as a matter of fact, as a matter of fact, I believe, I believe I always call it the night before Thanksgiving. It's never a specific date, my sobriety. So I think tomorrow night it'll be 30, 32 years.
Speaker 3:Soba Congratulations.
Speaker 2:Yeah, 32 years, so I did it night before.
Speaker 1:Maybe it was, thanksgiving was my last, I was the night before.
Speaker 4:Thanks, it was thanks.
Speaker 1:Because the next day after Thanksgiving the Air Force sent me into the rehab.
Speaker 4:Oh really, oh, they did.
Speaker 1:Hey, listen, it's the best thing that happened to me. I never looked back, I never drank again.
Speaker 4:Was that in the Philippines as well?
Speaker 1:No, no, that was a May through Air Force Base in Sacramento, california, which no longer exists. But I went from from growing up I was Catholic in Boston, where you know, kate, thanksgiving night or the day before Thanksgiving Huge party, and then Thanksgiving night actually would turn into because everybody's done and it's like going out sticking around the house and we just tear it up a little more. And then I went from to that to the Philippines, which was total fucking insanity. And then I go to this little base in Sacramento and I was like I was like orca in a fucking swimming pool, couldn't miss me, it was my, I was out of control. My reputation was spread fast, spread fast. Anyway, enough about me, let's get back to Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:So it's, all about you.
Speaker 3:It's always why we come on the show.
Speaker 1:Oh, she talked about.
Speaker 3:it's all about me we better get, we better get going with the show we got to entertain.
Speaker 1:Todd big head, todd the wet sprockets back everybody. Enough of that Big head Todd the wet sprockets back for his Thanksgiving. You know, whatever I'm here, entertain me comments and I was there with you and it's very he was. That's right. He was there when I saw it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is cool, Missing you guys.
Speaker 3:James buddy James.
Speaker 1:There you go. There you go, welcome to the show. Yeah, todd Todd witnessed me in the Philippines. He actually witnessed me from I don't know Tech School on, from law enforcement Academy to Canine Academy, to the yeah, he saw a big nice. He saw me at my prime, yeah, and then he saw me stop, which was a beautiful thing. So, anyway, let's get into this. Um, thanksgiving 1966 fell on November 24th. The Beatles go into the studio to devote an entire session to recording John Lennon's Gem Strawberry Fields forever. It came after John Paul, george and Ringo took a break following their decision to stop touring. The song was supposed to be included on the band's next album, which would have become Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band. Instead, it was released as a single in February 1967, together with Penny Lane. Both tunes were also included on the B side. 1967 singles of Magical Mystery Tour, the soundtrack to the 1967 film of the same name.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so there you go.
Speaker 4:Uh, and you know there's a Thanksgiving type of reference in there.
Speaker 1:There is. Is there at?
Speaker 4:the end, where people always mistook, I buried Paul. It's not it's. He says cranberry sauce, oh my God. It's true, this is true.
Speaker 1:It's no. What else is true? Why Penalty box?
Speaker 3:Wait, wait, wait, wait. If he's telling the truth. That's not true. That is not a true story. You're like VAR in the premier league you see everything. I know me.
Speaker 1:You're in the penalty box too. Now they're both in the penalty box. I am not in a giving mood tonight. I am not here to these two. I'm telling you, during the week they plan this. Oh, lou, went dark on us, oh no.
Speaker 3:I got a few loose shoes.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, he's back. There is Lou. What are you?
Speaker 4:doing. I was a protest. You put me in the buddy, I put myself in the penalty box, I put myself in the naughty spot. I'm telling you that's a true story, but that's where the the uh, the Paul is dead. Reference was that people thought I said I buried Paul, but he really said cranberry sauce.
Speaker 3:A common belief is that John says that buried Paul at the end of strawberry fields forever on the magical mystery tour album. In fact, he actually says cranberry sauce, not once, but twice. The proof, they have the proof and everything you know. Wow. It was right, lou, you taught us some.
Speaker 4:Look at that. You know what happens. I got punished for it.
Speaker 1:Well, you know what? Then I put my yeah, cranberry sauce.
Speaker 4:So what is that?
Speaker 3:Belosia boo wine. I got that Belosia boo wine. When does it come out?
Speaker 4:Bozily, bozily. It came out tomorrow, tomorrow's Wednesday, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, oh.
Speaker 3:I'm not totally full of shit.
Speaker 1:Lou, did you just say I buried Scott?
Speaker 4:I love that.
Speaker 2:I buried Scott.
Speaker 1:All right, let's move on Thanksgiving. 1967, november 23rd fell on November, which is this year, right Today. What's today?
Speaker 2:20. Yeah, so it's the 23rd right. Yeah.
Speaker 1:The Jimi Hendrix experience, pink Floyd, the move, the nice, the outer limits, the area, apartment and amen corner play the seventh night at the Sofia Gardens Pavilion in Cardiff, wales, in the UK. The show was part of a 16 date tour.
Speaker 4:These artists performed together the band was the Erie apartment, the weird apartment, the Erie apartment. Erie E, I R E Wow.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Cool name. Yeah Well to have Jimi Hendrix experience in Pink Floyd on the same card.
Speaker 3:Wow, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Jesus, that probably never happened again. On Thanksgiving 1969, which fell on November 27th, the Rolling Stones play the first of four shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden during their 1969 tour, american tour, north American tour. All together, about 55,000 people saw the Stones over four nights. It was the band's first US tour since July 1966, in the inaugural with Mick Taylor who would replace Brian Jones in June of that year. Shortly thereafter, on July 3rd 1969, jones passed away under somewhat serious circumstances, at the age of that magical rock and roll 27. Wow.
Speaker 4:What was mysterious about it?
Speaker 1:He's drowning his pool. So the Billy Joel's father, yeah, and in Captain Jack right.
Speaker 4:And then right.
Speaker 1:And then they found your dad as a nest swimming pool. He won't be swimming anymore.
Speaker 4:He's doing the dead man's float.
Speaker 3:Yeah, what were you gonna say? Mark Brian, his decorator, said it was death by misadventure. Yeah, strange.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay.
Speaker 3:It's more of a Halloween story.
Speaker 4:Was he fully clothed or was he in swim trunks? Um he had a snorkel on. That's very important.
Speaker 1:I think we've covered this story a couple of times. I didn't know what happened on Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving 1974, fell on November 28th. John Lennon joins Elton John on stage and a surprise guest appearance at Madison Square Garden. Previously, lennon promised John. We covered this a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if whatever gets you through the night was number one. He'll come on stage and they come on stage. Only 10 days earlier, john had released a single with the cover version of Lucy, which featured Lenin. Lucy in the Skyward Diamonds, which featured Lenin on the guitar and backing vocals under the pseudonym. Do you know what a pseudonym was?
Speaker 4:On that song, winston.
Speaker 1:Obugi yeah, Dr Winston Obugi. The Madison Square Garden performance with Elton John would be Lennon's last concert appearance Following his death. John wrote a moving tribute song titled Empty Garden. Hey, hey, Johnny, that didn't go anywhere.
Speaker 3:That was a good song.
Speaker 4:I liked it. Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1:See, even Lude thinks it as a second. It's just, you know, right? Oh, that's right, yeah, and that's going again.
Speaker 4:And then it was the Lake Reed Johnny Aists with Paul Simon yeah, they're pretty lame. I think George did the best.
Speaker 1:And finally, on Thanksgiving, 1976 fell on November 25th. Well, what is the greatest concert movie of all time?
Speaker 4:The Last.
Speaker 1:Wolves yes, the same. Well, that's, someone say that except except for, probably, robert Plant and Jimmy VIII. I don't think they were big fans of that movie.
Speaker 2:No, you're right, they weren't really big fan.
Speaker 1:I know Plant wasn't a big fan of it and a lot of people. There is a good chunk of people that say it's a stupid movie, it makes no sense.
Speaker 2:I love it.
Speaker 1:Even.
Speaker 2:I like it.
Speaker 3:Even the scenes they filmed three years later where they you know they had to get plant because he was a little heavier from drinking beer, from being off-door, yeah, and you could tell all the close-up scenes is no sweat, they're not sweating.
Speaker 1:Hey, listen, any movie that has a werewolf dressed in a gangster outfit playing a Tommy gun is a great movie.
Speaker 3:And a head falling off, a torso with colored crayons.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, the Last.
Speaker 4:Wolves. I heard Most of them. There's a lot of overdubs in the Last Wolves.
Speaker 1:Oh really. I think a lot of concert footage, a lot of concerts, Well other than other than like Deep Purple Made in Japan, which is the greatest concert album ever. If you ask me, I don't care what anybody says, that was pure Deep Purple on that album. How are on that is unbelievable Head and shoulders above the rest of the concert yeah Live. Live recordings.
Speaker 4:And they didn't temper with it, Nothing. They didn't even want to do it.
Speaker 1:They said we're going to record it, you know yeah, no matter, you're going to get what we give you, and that's that. And this sound engineer, those two nights, martin Burch Fucking master, martin Burch.
Speaker 3:The producer, martin Burch, the legendary. It was his first time recording live, from what I hear, fucking master piece. You did a great job yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow, maybe that's why, because he was so like this has to be perfect type thing. Yeah, you know, I guess I don't know that world. You guys know that world better than me. But I guess if you get in a zone, Live recordings are crap.
Speaker 3:You have to deal with venue. You have to deal with things breaking down. He lucked out, Nothing broke down. They had complete takes, because that's another big problem. Or Mike cuts out whose live it leads was an. It was an issue. They said you know John Entzel's bass would cut out on a bunch of songs. That's why the original album was only like 45 minutes. They were able to fix it later on. But yeah, it's, if you get a good recording of a live show. Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's luck to you know the songs that came to mind when I started, when I realized that they were actually dubbing. You know, I think it came to realization when kiss alive came out and someone they come out and said, oh, that's a lot of studio work on that album, you know, and I was like what? Like you know? You never, that was never really spoken. It was almost like K-Fob and wrestling. You know, stay in character.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Don't. Don't ever give it away. Don't ever give the secrets away. Don't talk about the secrets. Somehow that came out. The kiss alive was a lot of studio dub in there. And then I started thinking back like okay, benny and the Jets.
Speaker 3:Well, that was never meant to be live, that was just. It was known, it was canned, I think.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think the audience is a canned audience thing right yeah. Yeah, and then um, arrowsmith's train kept rolling. Which fucking one of my favorite songs ever. Their version of that is just for off. Get your wings, it's almost.
Speaker 3:It's phenomenal, but do you know like? One thing I never knew is that second part. Where is that recorded? Have you ever heard of where it was recorded? No, yeah, strange, and it was only their second album.
Speaker 1:See, I think I sent you guys and I've talked about this a few times. There's a movie clip, it's a British movie and it's this dude is being chased or he's chasing somebody and they go into this club and on stage is, you know, it's Jimmy Page, jeff Beck, I think it was the birds.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, blow up the Yon Birds. It's called Blow Up the Movie, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1:And they stopped playing train, kept it rolling Yep, and they told Jeff Beck to wreck his guitar to act like Hendricks, and he didn't want to do that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and then he throws the arm into the into the audience and this dude somehow ends up with it and then he's, he runs out of, he's being chased down by the crowd because he wants, they want that guitar. He loses them, he goes out into the sidewalk. He's in the middle of his city, right, and there's people walking at that night and he looks at the guitar arm and he just fucking throws it on the ground and walks away. But that was, that was an insane version of that song.
Speaker 3:Like that was like that's, that was great and a short lived, insane version of the Yardbirds, with Beck and Page together. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so last waltz on November 25th 1976. Thanksgiving day, thanksgiving night, the last waltz, the final concert of the band, as everybody knows, is held at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The epic show featured more than a dozen high caliber special guests, including Bob Dylan, neil Young, ringelstar, johnny Mitchell, van Morrison, ronnie Wood and Eric Clapton, among others. Martin Scorsese, we know, made the movie Robbie Robson. They turned it into a documentary, released in 78. The film has been held by many critics as one of the best rock concerts ever. Sure, right, and I agree with that. Yeah, definitely. Everybody, every music fan is at least seen at once. Yeah, like, I wasn't a big fan of the band, I didn't dislike them. I just, you know, I liked them but I didn't love them, I didn't follow them and I saw the movie, you know, and it's you just you got it's almost like a writer passage.
Speaker 4:I can see that movie. That's the movie. I kind of knew the music. But when I saw the movie and it was on Thanksgiving they played on public television. I saw it in their early, early 80s. Oh my God, that's the band that sang that. You know the weight. Then I did dribble Dixie down. You know the things are heard on the radio.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 4:You said that concert was four hours. Right, it was some three or four hours, but you also you got a full dinner with it. So the beforehand you got, you know, there's a turkey dinner with all this stuff.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, I didn't know that.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, If you look at the beginning of the movie. You see the tables, you see how they lay down yeah, that's shit they had that music playing the. What is that? Like it was from La Traviata, yeah, and you'll see. If you look close, you'll see everyone's sitting down or eating and you could dance. They were off right now.
Speaker 4:They're actually ballroom dancers. So they had a whole banquet thing set out. Wow, it was a full turkey dinner. But things Dylan didn't eat meat. So Dylan had a friend from the old days had a pussy. He had a salmon hatchery, so there was a little salmon brought in from like Alaska.
Speaker 1:Dylan's such a pussy.
Speaker 2:No, I don't eat meat. Leave him turkey.
Speaker 3:Leave Robert a leaf.
Speaker 2:No, leave Mr Sturman a seven.
Speaker 1:Interestingly leave on helm. The band's drummer in his 1993 autobiography claimed that Scorsese and Robinson are the film's producer right. Essentially portrayed the band as Robertson's side men.
Speaker 3:They did kind of make him look like you know, I think Louis will keep comment on this.
Speaker 4:Pretty good it was in the editing. They edited to look like Robertson was directing the whole band. Yeah, yeah, yeah, with the next shots and stuff like that. You know he was like. So they really focused heavily on Robbie. They were good, but he thought he was going to be a movie star.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he tried. Was he in a Western or something?
Speaker 4:No, he did a movie with Gary Busey and Jody Farsical Carney.
Speaker 1:Carney, that's what it was, it wasn't bad, it was Busey's historical. No, he's a fucking insane.
Speaker 4:He's got. He plays a clown, but he's got nothing on you, my friend. Not many do, buddy.
Speaker 1:Not many.
Speaker 4:Wait, you said he comes out once a year. You Bola Once a year. Okay, no, so the origin is not Ebola.
Speaker 3:He don't know Ebola right.
Speaker 4:You know yes.
Speaker 1:The origins of Ebola the clown and this isn't Thanksgiving, but the origin is so when I was working for US Customs and Border Protection. I mean the Ebola breakout like 2018 or something like that right, yeah, the shit happened.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:They wanted to you know more of those. It's like the pandemic, you know. They wanted to scare everybody in the country and all be ready and so we got this briefing, because we deal with people coming in and out of the country as we deal with the containers shipping, you know, container ships and airplanes and everything coming in and out. And they gave us this whole warning about Ebola. Like they like don't have sex with monkeys, like was really one of the things they told us, like they went into all this crazy shit and I was like fuck, are you guys serious?
Speaker 1:Is this the US government, what Like it might?
Speaker 3:be some coworkers that you know there is somebody got caught.
Speaker 4:If they're doing that, that wouldn't have stopped them.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so that was the birth, that was the origins of Ebola. The clown.
Speaker 3:It just popped into your head.
Speaker 1:Just created this character and it just went a little demented as it went along and you know, just kind of run with it. Todd Salkman says I was at your house Thanksgiving 1995. Yep, put on an amazing spread. Yes, he was. He came down. He was in Colorado Springs, I believe. He was stationed there, and I was stationed in Albuquerque, new Mexico. And he came down and it actually snowed that night, I believe on the night before, and I had a bunch of guys from the dorm come over. I always had people at my house. Everybody needs to be somewhere on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:I always say that, you know, and if I could help some guys out and my first wife, god rest his soul, she had no problem putting out all the food. I think she threw some Filipino food in there too, and it was a good time. It was a good time and I think Todd came to my house and I think it was there when we were together in Sacramento too. I think he came over for one of my family my wife and my kids first Thanksgiving in the United States.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Did you entertain him? Did I entertain him? I was always entertaining, sure you were. He would just sit back and watch. So that's it for that right. That's really an event. I mean, there was certain things. There's some pretty cool stuff that happened on Thanksgiving's, but for the most part, even rock and roll takes the day off, right? Yeah, then we get into. Let's see, what do I have here? Get rid of that. Let's get into our favorite classic rock Thanksgiving stories. These ought to be interesting. I haven't really looked at them, so let's see. We have the infamous Paul Simon dressed as a turkey on Saturday.
Speaker 2:Night Live.
Speaker 1:If that isn't one of the most classic things that's ever been on to a classic TV moment. On November 20th 1976, paul Simon opened up Saturday Night Live by singing his then recent hit still crazy after all these years and perhaps the most memorable outfit of his career at Turkey suit. But after the first verse he brought the song to an abrupt end and explained his side of the story quote when the turkey concept was first brought up I said there's a very good chance I'm going to end up looking stupid if I come out wearing it. Simon then walks off stage, confronts producer Michael's about the site but winds up with a different problem. I guess it kind of went on from there. They filmed that too. They're walking up to Lauren like complaining in the turkey suit. I don't know how do you argue with somebody? How do you take somebody serious? It's wearing a turkey suit.
Speaker 4:It takes all seriously either.
Speaker 1:Exactly, we have the bands last wallp that we just talked about. You don't have to go over that kiss in their horrible Thanksgiving parade. Oh, when kiss appeared at the 2014 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in their hometown, new York City, the intended spectacle did not go according to plan. Right Situated on the lap on a last minute much smaller than expected float, the band members did their best to make the most of the makeshift circumstances, mining rock and roll all night. I know the rainy day.
Speaker 3:I remember that now I do too.
Speaker 1:We looked like the shittiest thing on Macy's day parade. Manager talk McGee lady said that was a horrible time and there's a picture of them on this fucking float it's being pulled by like a GMC, fucking like I don't know laser whenever they got a gym. And it's this kind of generic float. You got to look it up. I don't think they have instruments, but they do? It looks like but they're not plugged in.
Speaker 3:There's nothing.
Speaker 1:It's not that they must have the fucking cassette or the CD playing from the truck.
Speaker 4:Yeah, oh yeah, yikes, what year was that?
Speaker 1:2014.
Speaker 4:Yeah, okay, mining it, oh boy, oh, what was?
Speaker 1:the drum. I have a drum kit there. Was he like, yeah, he did have a drum kit. Yeah, there's a drum kit on this thing.
Speaker 4:It's almost like a full band set up.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think so. Yeah, it was the fake Peter, chris and the fake ace really in the band at the time.
Speaker 1:That's what it looks like yeah.
Speaker 4:When they doctored up their live CD, was it them actually doing the doctoring Well?
Speaker 3:that's another thing is they're known for on a lot of their albums, having, like Anton Fague, played on a couple of songs, so I'm still live. I'll bet you they didn't even have ace really playing some of those solos. I could have been anybody and they didn't credit people. They'd say you can do it, but we're not going to give you credit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Kind of shitty you know, let's see, then we have baby. No, it's not. Maybe this is the absolute hands down stone cold lock. Greatest Thanksgiving episode of any TV show ever made in the history of TV Baby have you been thinking about me?
Speaker 3:The?
Speaker 1:fucking Turkey episode. The Thanksgiving episode on WK up here in Cincinnati Absolute fucking chaos. Buster got laughing when you first started. I don't know how people they people could watch the rest of the show.
Speaker 4:It was brilliant.
Speaker 1:It was absolutely brilliant. That's the best way. It was fucking comedy, not gold comedy. Platinum. It really was. Oh my God. The writers were fucking talking about being in a zone Put that one.
Speaker 4:together, they're slapping each other in the back.
Speaker 1:Oh my Lord, and these actors pulled it off, yeah just absolute. They should have won an Emmy just for that episode.
Speaker 4:Really, maybe they did you never do. Do you remember some of the lines, les Nessmann's lines.
Speaker 1:Oh God is my witness. I thought turkeys can fly.
Speaker 4:They're hitting the ground like bags of wet cement. He was channeling the.
Speaker 3:Hindenburg, he was only humanity humanity.
Speaker 1:God is my witness. I thought turkeys could fly. That was. That was Mr Carlson was the one that said that? He's the one that said that. Mr Carlson is the one that said that that's right, that's right. Yeah, yeah, because they're all looking at him in the studio like what the fuck, did you just do like throwing him turkeys from a helicopter? They're exploding when they hit the ground.
Speaker 4:Couldn't do that now.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, as he planned the promotional event live turkeys get dropped from the helicopter. I said amazingly, it was based on a real life stunt.
Speaker 4:No kidding.
Speaker 1:I guess I just learned this. I guess that just that really happened. There's stupid people out there Got to research that one.
Speaker 4:Going through the windshields of cars.
Speaker 1:Oh my Lord, let me see if I can. Let me see if I can get some of the I was harassed by a turkey recently, oh they don't mess around.
Speaker 3:No, they're, they're mean and they're stupid. They hang out in the hospital parking lot where I work and they'll go. The nails will go after women and they go after them.
Speaker 4:They're territorial. I made a delivery and one was menacing me outside my work. Man, I couldn't get out of the little dinosaurs I mean. You know, these things were huge.
Speaker 1:So that rates is number 65 in the 100 greatest episodes of all time. Wow, right, uh, yeah, it's. It's a good thing too, according to the show's creative producer and head writer, hugh Wilson, quote I didn't initially have a great ratings bump. It didn't initially have a great ratings bump, but it got a lot of talk inside the business, so it was like a boost to shot. Uh, let me see.
Speaker 3:I got some background for you Go ahead. Yeah, you care, he's the right creator Hugh Wilson, who adapted Carlson's character from Jerry Blum, a general manager of station gear. You can't, oh. The episode was inspired by a similar live turkey giveaway promotion by Blum, who tossed turkeys out of a pickup truck at a Dallas shopping center parking lot. So Carlson was based on, the entire show was based on this guy that did the turkey thing. So the turkey was a crowning achievement of the whole show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I threw him from an 18 wheeler. I have right here. But I'm told a bit, was a helicopter in the episode Less desperate, offered live on the scene accounts and a man in a manner purposely reminiscent of the Hindenburg disaster. Yeah, it says. Uh, quote. The opportunity to see less nested recount the falling of the turkeys in the style of the Hindenburg was just tears to your eyes. Oh, recall Tim Reed who played Venus fly trap? Yeah, quote. I mean who takes on the Hindenburg and does comedy it?
Speaker 4:takes one of the great tragedies in this country and puts it in a comedy show.
Speaker 1:We went there. I said, uh, nessman explained on scene quote oh the humanity. The director called back to the Hindenburg disaster, then later noted I really don't know how to describe it it was like the turkeys mounted a counter attack. It was almost as if they were organized.
Speaker 4:Are we vaulting?
Speaker 1:Oh man, all right, we can go on with just that episode. Let's get back to business. Where are we? So we did that. We think, all right, here we go. Uh, the story behind Aloghathri's Alice's restaurant. Do you guys have any, any type of?
Speaker 3:youthful indiscretion of our. Look at three where he did get arrested, right. That was based on his uh and he was a teenager. I think part of it was dump and garbage or something. I don't know I'm a garbage and yeah, it's a uh, I love.
Speaker 1:Guthrie was just 18 years old and 65 when he rolled into great Birmingham, great Barrington mass, to celebrate Thanksgiving with his friends Alice and Ray Brock, who lived in an old church. Guthrie and his friend spent the day helping to clear debris from Brock's home, but it led to their arrest for littering. And then the bus turned out to be crucial in getting Guthrie out of the military service.
Speaker 1:I want to kill the good deed gone wrong Inspired Guthrie's 18 minute career launching Alice's restaurant. Remember the original name of it? Oh, do you know the full name of?
Speaker 4:it, yeah, it's restaurant massacree, massacree, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 1:Uh, we have let's try this leftover albums. All right. Well, the meal is the highlighted Thanksgiving. Rating the fridge and making the Luther and the days that follow has its own joy. Some are least. Sometimes, musicians will dig into their archives for their own leftover albums. Many of our favorite artists, including the stones, zeppelin, petty Floyd, have fashioned compelling releases out of songs originally deemed not suitable. So they're leftovers. Let's see, let's go to do the stones first Top 10.
Speaker 1:Let's do the top 10 leftover albums. Number 10 leftovers at leftover albums would be Pink Floyd the endless river in 2014. Collection of unused recordings from 1994 is the division belt. Yeah, years after Wright died from cancer in 2008, they became a foundation for the last of the last Floyd albums the last Floyd album. The results are very much attributed to to right. Let's see Number nine, tom Petty. She's the one in 1996. It was leftovers from wildflowers.
Speaker 3:And they were used for a movie. She's the one. Oh okay, Ed Burns movie. Yeah.
Speaker 2:All right.
Speaker 1:You would think that that would be the first spring scene. The world party song she's the one.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Done by Robbie. Like Lou said, Bruce Springsteen from Born to Run yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, let's see the clash. Super black market clash, super black mark in 1993. That was the leftovers. She only been available as an import. I'm not going to chase that down. Led Zeppelin Kota in 1982 is a leftover album. Right and I don't know if I want that it's got.
Speaker 3:It goes all the way back to the beginning, but they used a song that was recorded live and tried to claim it was studio I can't quit you, baby which I don't know why they did that. They were always bullshitting the fans on in some way. Led Zeppelin to their career yeah, Good album, though that first song we're going to groove. That's a heavy song.
Speaker 1:It says it's not the most cohesive record, but who can play? Who could complain about scraps when they include works like Walter's walk, the midnight cool of I can't quit you, baby, and acoustic shuffle of poor Tom.
Speaker 3:That's a great song and there's a song called wearing and tearing. Wearing and tearing yeah, it's heavy and it's from the sessions for into the outdoor, which is not a very heavy album. Not surprised, like they should have put on that album.
Speaker 4:Yeah, were there any singles released in that album? Kota, I don't think so. Nothing made it to the radio and that kind of a big way Maybe a PLJ in New York played a lot of it.
Speaker 3:I used to hear it on the radio but it wasn't like no big hit singles were off it.
Speaker 1:Another leftover album was Nirvana, incest aside 1992. I don't even know about that song. I mean that yeah me neither. Despite featuring the work of four drummers, the material on incest aside, is remarkably cohesive Doing. The content is as disparate as a devo cover. Turnaround in the sound garden, like arrow arrow, zeppelin. Yeah, let me see Number five, the promise Bruce Springsteen left over album.
Speaker 3:Yep, A lot of people said that material was equal. What album was that from? That was from darkness on the edge of town right.
Speaker 4:No, I think it was after. No, I mean, it was music for those sessions. So the promise was I think it was something later. I think, oh sure, All right.
Speaker 1:There was something that we caught, and so you have let me see.
Speaker 4:I think like rendezvous on that yeah.
Speaker 1:Box set from 1998. Can file the river 25 years of unreleased songs besides and demos, while 2014's high hopes brought together an assortment of material that failed to make Bruce Springsteen's albums in the 2000s, but the promise feels like a lost spring scene epic. All of the songs were written and recorded for 78 stockness on the edge of town.
Speaker 1:They left on the cutting room floor If they didn't suit Bruce's stock vision of the desperate characters that populated the album. So the puzzle pieces that didn't quite fit were either handed off to other artists because the night to Patty Smith fire to Rupert Gordon and the point to sisters or languished in the vaults, that is, until the promise rounded out, rounded all of them up, gave the fans an alternative version vision of Springsteen circa 1978. And then it has a one that includes the buddy Holly, like outside looking in the restless. R&b have talked to me in the hot breaking title track of sad, sweeping sequel to Thunder Road. I didn't know that was the same sequel to Thunder Road, probably one of the most famous leftover albums. Rolling Stones tattoo you.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Talk about great back to back albums. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:You know some girls in tattoo you, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 4:When, when uh doesn't sound like an afterthought, though.
Speaker 1:Uh, dave Phillips says what are you doing on Tuesday? Well, tomorrow night is cooking night for me, getting shit ready for Thanksgiving. Dave Phillips, king of the 45s, and I don't want to bother these guys on the eve of Thanksgiving. Well, we're not doing it on Thursday, dave Phillips, king of the 45s, and we don't do it on Friday. So that's your answer. Leave me alone. Happy fucking Thanksgiving, jesus Christ. My fans do nothing but complain. Well, marie, marie Martin, how are you doing?
Speaker 3:She's a music girl.
Speaker 1:She's a music girl.
Speaker 3:When fans complain, look at it as they really follow you and what you say is important to them and days your friend come on.
Speaker 1:No, no, no. Dave Phillips, King of the 45s. He's being pompous tonight because he's the King of 45s. He's feeling very like you know pompous and self-righteous. And musicy, Musicy. Is that a word? Yeah, it is now.
Speaker 3:It is now we make words on this show. Yeah, um, no Tattoo U goes all the way back to eggs, the exile on Main Street session. So waiting on a friend is from 73 and Mick Jones is on McTailer sorry is on it but he never. You know, they don't credit.
Speaker 1:And I heard Goats head soup yeah.
Speaker 3:I think that's maybe what waiting on a friend. So when I heard that because it sounds very um, it flows very good, it sounds like and I was shocked Actually, uh, lou, uh, tom Griffin told me that about that being all outtakes I didn't know that he's on it.
Speaker 4:So that's all. The songs are all older. Are they re-recordings? Are they original tracks on that all Some?
Speaker 3:some use basic tracks, some they re-recorded little things. They basically told the, the Jimmy Miller, they told the the they all said, look, we knew, knew, album and get the tapes together. And he went to work and he assembled all day. It sounds very cohesive, the sound from song to song, and I like how side A is more rock and side B is like ballads. I really, I really liked that setup.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, uh. So it says uh, let's see, let me get into this a little bit. Uh, associate producer Chris Kibbs. He dug into the vaults, found outtakes and half finished tracks to constitute an album. Got me up, began life as a reggae-ish number in 1975 before getting rocked up in some girl in the, some girl sessions while waiting on a friend. Dates from the goats head soup era, yep, and features Mick Taylor and not Ronnie Wood on guitar. Mick Jagger wrote some new lyrics, recorded new vocals in 1980 and 81 with jazz legend Sonny Rawlins. Also added the sax parts to waiting and slave. Slave is my favorite song on that. I fucking love that song. Uh, presto new Stones album in a darn good one is right.
Speaker 3:Why they're? Why they're biggest yeah.
Speaker 1:Uh, so let's see. Marie Martin says I'm just glad you all alive this week I'm not working, so the night is no matter that. There you go, good, enjoy the joy, enjoy the banter.
Speaker 4:No, are we doing the five hour marathon? That's gonna show yeah, we're doing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we're going to be as long as the parade I think longer than the parade usually.
Speaker 3:Lou, do you know what I'd be talking like at the end of a five hour show?
Speaker 1:I just a fucking drunk. Give me some more. Give me some more yellow jacket wine.
Speaker 3:Oh, you all picked on me.
Speaker 1:I never should have told you what I was doing. Give me some yellow hoof wine.
Speaker 4:Milk shakes and turn crates.
Speaker 1:Yeah, mert, tables and turn plates yeah. Ah, the beat, Did you just steal my, my bit?
Speaker 3:Oh, I was doing like at the end of the night.
Speaker 1:You didn't have sleep apnea, though you got to do it like that.
Speaker 4:Would you like another inological story? I don't have any.
Speaker 1:It sounds like Marie Martin. She says that's what I was thinking, and then it's three wine glasses.
Speaker 3:This is for Marie.
Speaker 2:Cheers. I don't know about this one.
Speaker 1:Number three, the Beatles. Let's see Dave Phillips King of the 45s. The happy Thanksgiving, boys, always enjoys it.
Speaker 4:And we enjoy you, Dave Phillips.
Speaker 1:King of the 45s. We do the Beatles past masters in 1988.
Speaker 3:So is this it's like a lot of singles. Yeah, we were talking about that on our show, lou Last message. It was a black one and a white one.
Speaker 1:Lou said it earlier. I'm sorry, mark, the interruption. Lou said it earlier. My brother, colin McClain, just popped in. Oh, lou decided to show up. We are so lucky and Smitty is definitely getting shitfaced.
Speaker 3:I'm not even Jesus associate producer.
Speaker 1:Colin McClain. Associate producer.
Speaker 3:I think you said executive producer.
Speaker 1:No, that's me, that's me.
Speaker 3:Oh, I thought about me. Yeah, but associate producer ain't no slouch either.
Speaker 1:Oh, he is staying out of this one. I got corrected, by the way, in my friend while Bill Green, who has a great YouTube channel and does nature videos like him out in the woods, and he actually responded that was one of the funniest things he ever heard. When I told the story about my brother falling the down and I was playing the basketball, I knock him over, his leg falls up. So my brother corrected me. I didn't kick his leg out of the way, I took his leg and I threw it across the floor.
Speaker 3:Oh shit, yeah, that's a lot better.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he says you threw my leg across that. I picked it up and I just slid it like through it across the floor. Then I picked the ball up and did a layup for the point.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but everybody still stopped and watched.
Speaker 1:Oh, did they ever? They were like that. I was like fucking total supervillain at that point. So the Beatles past masters.
Speaker 3:I don't look at it that yeah. I look at it as just all their singles. It was early in the CD era, so there was.
Speaker 1:I guess it's a leftover, but you got.
Speaker 3:You know my name, look at my numbers on there and stuff like that, yeah, yeah, you got, let me see.
Speaker 1:But that after left career spanning assortment of tunes that never found their way into the fab fours UK album, and so this material is released on two volumes called past masters. To call these songs leftovers doesn't do them justice. Just look at the five tracks on volume two day tripper, we can work it out. Paperback writer rain and lady Madonna.
Speaker 3:They're like B sides. They weren't our singles, yeah.
Speaker 4:Were these things?
Speaker 3:George Martin supervised yeah but they were CD only. It was part of the CD era, so if it wasn't vinyl, I don't count it as a one of those things.
Speaker 1:Yeah, here you go, mark. I guess Lou Bob Dylan bootleg series, volumes one through three came out in 1991.
Speaker 3:He's got like 15 of them Now he's up to yeah yeah, and I love don't you love how now bands have gotten wise there. They're releasing these concerts. A lot of bands are doing it and they get the money. But the fans are getting semi a good quality. They're not getting the shit bootlegs. You know Pearl Jam, famously they released every show from one of their tours on CD and they were in tower records. But the idea that was, you know it was cheap, packaging, nothing, no frills, but you weren't paying a bootlegger for shit quality. Yeah, You're getting soundboard. So I liked that. They all do that.
Speaker 1:What does my brother say? A Todd talk, my brother just being disruptors tonight.
Speaker 3:It's okay.
Speaker 1:Todd says, and then I had them peel a dozen hard boiled eggs after he went and got his leg from the basketball court.
Speaker 3:This is cool Hand Luke.
Speaker 1:They threw my brother Carl says executive producer and alpha fucking dog.
Speaker 2:Yeah, whatever.
Speaker 1:Keyboard tough guy. There he is Just to keep another one, another tough guy behind the keyboards. The keyboard warrior. I will fucking take your leg off again and throw it. So don't, don't, don't, I will do it again. I will have a repeat of 1992.
Speaker 4:Yes. Thanksgiving, we're not too old for that, never told the fight with your brothers on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1:He'll punch me in the face, though He'll get a good punch in. He's fast. I tell him that he's a lefty to you. You got to watch those lefties.
Speaker 3:Good man. Well, your pinky end up out.
Speaker 1:No, his pinky. That was my ring finger, my middle finger on my left hand. It was my middle finger on my left, it was your pinky. Oh, no, no, no. What the fuck he's watching. I don't care what you're watching.
Speaker 4:Well watching. His brother's podcast is watching.
Speaker 1:Oh, here we go, here we go. This is fucking nice. We're watching it during three hours. Bake it good, hang in there. Smitty, my favorite what?
Speaker 3:the fuck. Thank you, kyle, from the associate producer. That that really really.
Speaker 1:Can we get on with the show without?
Speaker 1:interrupting us Jesus. The who odds and sods in 1974. Let me see. The granddaddy of leftover albums was assembled in 1974. By who basis John Entwistle, while Townsend was working on the Tommy movie to try to thwart the bootleg market. Although Townsend offered often disagreed in line of notes, the songs featured in the collection rank with some of the who's best highlights include Entwistle's Rye horn based postcard, townsend's poppy anti-smoking jingle, little Billy the Tommy precursor, glow girl, the snarky rollicking tribute. Long live rock. That's a big one. In the studio version of the unfortunately unheralded naked eye, which was a live highlight in the early seventies, when reissued on CD in 1998, they expanded it to 23 tracks with the blustery Motown cover, leaving here the boogie woogie version of water and quirk and a quirky quadrophenia leftover. We close tonight as the standout so there you go Leave.
Speaker 3:Leaving here is a great song. Yeah, I just never liked the cover where they're in the football jerseys. I didn't understand that one.
Speaker 1:They got the helmets on, they get the helmets on, yeah, and it just says uh, b, o, c, r, o, c K, one on each helmet. But yeah, it doesn't make much because they're not there, that's an American game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, maybe they thought football helmets were cool.
Speaker 3:I think you never can guess what, why the hood do what they do? Yeah, exactly Exactly.
Speaker 1:Uh, so you guys got nothing I have. I have, like I got a thrown together album uh, a leftovers album.
Speaker 3:I mean technically, isn't physical graffiti is really a leftovers album. Half maybe those songs go back to uh, the third album, right, so a lot of them like so you have the song houses uh holy, which was never on the houses uh holy album, but uh, there's a few that go back to lids up on three, the pinball album. Um, you know, uh, so yeah, that that I would consider a great leftovers.
Speaker 1:Okay, that's interesting. Yeah, lou, you got anything.
Speaker 4:Albums no.
Speaker 1:All right, what do you got for? Uh, what do you got for Thanksgiving? Content Lou as far as food anything, what do you got? What do you got for?
Speaker 4:I'm going. I'm going Southern, Um, I'm here as Southern culture on the skids. Southern, no, we can not not like the B 52s. Uh, they had a song called banana pudding. It's kind of a southern Thanksgiving dessert thing.
Speaker 1:Banana pudding is good, any pudding is good yeah. Any pudding. I love rice pudding, rice pudding is good. Oh yeah, my grandfather.
Speaker 4:I don't know how he did he was Irish, I don't know.
Speaker 1:He made some fucking great homemade rice pudding.

Speaker 4:Nice.
Speaker 1:We're like literal bread pudding junkies.
Speaker 4:Nice, I think they could pretty good one man, cool yeah, my stepmother was English and her mother would come over and visit and that's my was first exposed to bread pudding, I'm like so fucking Thanksgiving story, thanksgiving story.
Speaker 1:So every Thanksgiving my father would come and pick us up. My parents were divorced, they got along, but, um, my father would pick us up and take us to my grandparents house his grand, his parents and my grandfather, grandpa McClain, would cook amazing, cook, fucking amazing, right, never wrote anything down. Great stuffing, great turkey, great mashed potatoes, all of it, right. And so he made bread pudding for dessert. So we're out in the living room and this is in Roxbury Massachusetts. Um and uh, my father tells my brother calling go get me some bread pudding. We're watching football. My brother, reluctantly of course, as a kid, gets up and fucking goes in the kitchen and put milk. We're like, we put milk in the bread pudding, right. So if you get a bowl of it, you put it like I don't know, maybe a half a cup of milk in with it. And so my brother comes back and here's my father, the bread pudding, and my father takes a big spoonful of it and he goes it's stuffing.
Speaker 2:Son of a bitch.
Speaker 1:Oh, it's stuffing with milk.
Speaker 3:A little nerve wracking time in the McLean house.

He actually told me and I'm sorry, mark, I know this was supposed to be a confidence. I hope this screws up his whole Thanksgiving day. I want to destroy his ego is massive ego and I want to. I want to break him.
Speaker 3:I am.
Speaker 1:Drago and he is Rocky. I will break you.
Speaker 3:He said what did I tell you? I said you know how these athletes get confidence, but you can break their confidence like a pitcher. Right, they're doing great, but you do one wrong thing to them and they lose it. That's I want to break them like a pitcher or a goalie and the Premier League like just get him off, you know the only thing I really remember is you saying fuck Lou, that was it.

So what I mean Scott discussed was when you read them, you almost start to go into the rhythm of the song, which gets really hard. I'm elected, I'm going to read him to you, like William Shatner sitting on a stool with a cigarette.
Speaker 1:Fucked me up with this. Look at Lou sat back. You got the arm roll, the mic on, the boom mic.
Speaker 4:You're going to be inflection list doing this. Get him, get him, get him.

Speaker 1:Actually, there's a movie out right now by Eli Roth called Thanksgiving. He's come home.
Speaker 4:Oh no.
Speaker 1:Oh, it is. Yeah, is based on. So I don't know, I think it was like 15, 20 years ago they came out with Grindhouse yeah. The Quentin Tarantino's grind house. Yeah, and it had planet Terra.
Speaker 3:Yeah, she had the leg that was a gun yeah yeah, there was a planet Terra.
Speaker 1:Yeah well, in between those movies, if you go on YouTube, you can find the trailers to grind house. One of them was Rob Zombie did a trailer for SS when SS Werewolf, women of the SS and Eli Roth did one For Thanksgiving. He's come home and it's a fucking murder. It's like they slashed a film for Thanksgiving and it's written then, so they decided to turn it into a movie and it's out in theaters right now.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow yeah well and mark.
Speaker 4:How about this? Remember the book every mother son about Harry Delaroche. No, you know Harry Delaroches. I know that name. In Montville on Thanksgiving weekend I think was 76 there was a local resident. He went to the Citadel in West Virginia over the Thanksgiving. He committed. He murdered his whole family in the town. Right, right, yeah, we just. He just got out, he just got paroled, that was, that was over the thanks, over Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3:We had two of the most evil murders in the del Sandro and Hillsdale that's right in 1970 some girls cow cookie. I mean, this is yeah and and Westwood on um.
Speaker 4:I lived on Burkett Avenue. The street over. There was an axe murder, did you?
Speaker 3:saw you married an axe murder so much.
Speaker 1:Well, I put the dude that ended up fucking, getting Like prostitutes and then chopping them up at his room at the YMCA and Lynn Massachusetts.
Speaker 4:There was a dude. What was that?
Speaker 1:That wasn't one of my brothers. Yeah throwing them in the dumpster, put it, stuffed them in a suitcase. He was like fucking full blown. Yeah at the fucking in his room at the YMCA that YMCA?
Speaker 4:that's crazy. That's crazy. I don't know.
Speaker 1:Can't beat the video. Alice's restaurant Thanksgiving movie yeah we talked about it, right. Yeah yeah, um, knives out. That's a pretty good one. That was a turkey turkey day. Was it say turkey day's favorite pastime carving stuff up?
Speaker 3:I Got one. I Forgot it was really based around Thanksgiving and I liked it a lot of people four brothers remember that movie. Yeah yeah, that was a cheap ass movie, it wasn't you know. It was good for what it was.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna planes, trains and automobiles. Oh yeah, yeah, that's one of my favorite comedies of that era. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I've ever looked at pillows the same way again. That's right I think it's.
Speaker 1:So let's see what other movies doing drinking from 2016.
Speaker 3:I just found that on.
Speaker 4:Walton's Thanksgiving reunion. That's terrible. These are all Thanksgiving movies, are no? No, coming home for the holidays? Yeah, I feel I think it was because it falls into the shadow of Christmas.
Speaker 1:I Think it does.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's Thanksgiving. Is it isn't Thanksgiving, the prelude the Christmas?
Speaker 1:It's the beginning of it. Actually, I think Halloween kind of is the prelude to all of them, because Right after Halloween is when Thanksgiving's the buildup begins. For Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4:If you're in retail. Yeah, you're already. You're already doing that stuff. Yeah, the babes in toiling was originally supposed to be like a Christmas movie, because they're building toys for Christmas, but that was just that. That was just a grease the wheels for the kids. So you start making your list out of the Sears catalog.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and here it is Thanksgiving has an 82% rating so far.
Speaker 3:Yeah, well, how about, um? How about a Amityville Thanksgiving horror movie? There you go, that sounds cool, I'll have to watch that.
Speaker 1:Uh, adam's family values. I don't know about that holiday and that's a Christmas movie. Yeah, lesbom 2018 the closeted woman brings her girlfriend home for Thanksgiving, although lesbians don't talk like that.

Speaker 1:Yeah, lesbians.
Speaker 4:They don't have a.
Speaker 1:They don't have a distinct list, or it's just an observation, you know, let let people be who they are, but it's just seems to be the man that have that kind of Hello Frisco. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3:I don't know what are you?
Speaker 1:talking about Scott. I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 3:Don't, don't, don't, don't stop. Okay, he's a good one. He's a good one. Hannah and her sister.

Speaker 1:Oh, I have no see, don't get me wrong now. Not to not to not get me wrong. I have nothing. I have nothing against the gay community, Nothing at all.
Speaker 4:I have no issues with them. I just find it.
Speaker 1:I find this, this humor in there. Yeah, this humor in there. They would tell you themselves this you, I find it, I'm hetero and I just kind of I think it's there's some good humor in there.
Speaker 3:Lou Lou Scott's explaining himself. He's like on the hot seat here.
Speaker 4:Wow, when I first moved out. No, no, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I I you see how he grabs the skull. That was a Freudian slip.
Speaker 3:You grabbed that skull, like to say, but I'm still grabbing skulls.
Speaker 1:Now that reminds me of a David Bowie song cracked actor when he has the giant skull come out on stage, rolls out on stage. I saw that series Moonlight tour. He had done that probably. He did a version of that song with a cape on holding a skull like a last poor York. I knew him well.
Speaker 3:I used to have a poster of him with that and I lost it.
Speaker 1:That was pretty cool right.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:All right, let me see. Let's see if we can dig up some albums from it. So albums.
Speaker 4:Have you never been that much? What's that? Have you never been, oh Jesus? I said I told the frame one time reason I said like America runs on, duncan Asheville runs an estrogen, I got the. I got the weirdest luck. Just like you can't say things like that I like, well, it's true, it's true, All right.
Speaker 1:Number 10 album this week in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving the innocent age by Dan Fogelberg. Oh yeah, number nine this week on the album charts in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving. Actually, one of my favorite songs by this group, abacab by Genesis, oh it's great album. Yeah, yeah, Number eight this week in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving, private eyes by our home John Oates. Right, so it matches right. Remember we had those years where none of the songs in the top 10 match the top 10 albums, which is kind of odd, right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, this was a huge, this was a, this was a monster. This album Number seven this week in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving, bella Donna.
Speaker 2:Oh.
Speaker 1:I love that. That was a big album for her, yeah.
Speaker 2:My sister.
Speaker 4:That was her breakout Wasn't it, wasn't that her? Yeah, it was her solo album. She was 17 on it yeah.
Speaker 3:And leather and leather and lace with. Don Henley and stop dragging my heart around.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tom Petty, he's got a more.
Speaker 4:he's got more he didn't want to give her that song.
Speaker 1:He wrote that song and he really didn't want to give it to her. Now, stevie, I don't want to give you that song when he put it on it but he didn't really he didn't want to give it to her, like I think he still wanted to maintain some control over that she was going to join the heartbreakers.
Speaker 4:He says she was like being insistent about joining the heart and he goes. He even said there's no girls in the heartbreakers, no way.
Speaker 1:Yeah, exactly, hey, that would have been interesting, but she would have stole his.
Speaker 4:It wouldn't, it wouldn't have worked.
Speaker 3:No, no, no.
Speaker 1:You can't go from being like the technically the face of Fleetwood Mack to going to Tom Petty and the hop breakers, you know, with Stevie Nicks, because that's what it would have been with. Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks Couldn't have done like. Joe Walsh has joined the Eagles and it's just the Eagles.
Speaker 3:Right, he was a natural. It wouldn't have done. It wouldn't have gone that round. You know, joe Walsh was destined to be in the Eagles, like Ron Wood was destined to be in the Rolling Stones. There's just some people that joined a band. It was fate meant to be.
Speaker 4:Yeah, If I could. Joe Walsh had a successful solo career. He didn't have to join the Eagles.
Speaker 1:I just love the fact that the Rolling Stones traded guitarists. Didn't McTaylor go to? Ron Wood came from Faces, right, yeah, and McTaylor didn't he go to Faces after that?
Speaker 3:No he just he left. They didn't fire him. He just wanted to leave. He wanted to do it.
Speaker 4:It was kind of like that he wanted to get out of there.
Speaker 3:He wanted to get out of there. It's hard to be in the Stones, yeah, yeah. And there's that story where Jeff Beck was at a party and he said that Mick and Keith were there and they were walking towards him and he ran away because he was horrified that they were going to ask him to join. He's like I didn't want to be in the Rolling Stones.
Speaker 1:Number six this week in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving raise the number six album this week, raised by earth, wind and fire. Number five this week the top 10 album charts of 1981, the week of Thanksgiving. Nine tonight Bob Singer and the silver. Now that's the live album right.
Speaker 3:That's the second live album.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think that's the one that I was at the show that they recorded half of it at the Boston Garden.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, they did.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because the first five albums all in Detroit he had to cancel the show and so he came back like three months later and we had floor seats as usual and place was going nuts. They were ready for him and he sang the first song and they said all right, listen, I'm going to give you all some advice. You might want to sit down because this is going to be a long show tonight, like so we were all in for it and everybody sat down and started playing. Everybody stood up, yeah, and they recorded second half of that album. Yeah, let's see. Number four this week on the album charts in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving escape by journey. That was a monster album, oh God, yeah, at least these next ones all were monsters. That that that that year. Our number three this week in 1981, the week of Thanksgiving on the album charts ghosted the machine, the police. Number two this week in 1981. We've discussed it a number of times on the show this evening. What would that be?
Speaker 2:Big album tattoo you Yep.
Speaker 1:That's who you and number one this week in 1981 on the album charts Thanksgiving week for by far Okay.
Speaker 3:Yeah, hey, you know what, really quick, because I know we're wrapping up the show. But did you guys, either of you, have a big musical memory of Thanksgiving, like a concert memory, either the day before or the day of?
Speaker 1:No, they never. Never had them really.
Speaker 3:I have one big one when I was seeing zebra like four times a month. I was a deadhead for zebra. They were recording their live album at the base in Bayshore at the Sundance Club, which was a shit hole. The club was great. We drove out there on Thanksgiving Eve. Now when you're young you don't look at weather reports. We drive out to Long Island. It's about an hour and 45 minutes. We go to the show and now zebra don't even come on to like one o'clock and it was kind of a shitty show. It was the first of three nights recording and they were nervous but they played. They finished about three, 15 in the morning. And when he says good night, everybody, please drive safe. And I go, what's he talking about? As we're walking out the bar into the, it's pouring snow.
Speaker 3:It was 90s we had a big snow storm the night before Thanksgiving. I just remember you know when you drive and when it's so bad and the highway just has one little tunnel eat out, you know. So we're driving through Long Island on the one little tunnel, cross Bronx Expressway everywhere. I think I got home about nine o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 4:And.
Speaker 3:I wasn't. I didn't drink because I had to drive, but I remember just laying down and my mom waking me up an hour later. I think I was like 20 years old. She's like it's ready. You want to?
Speaker 2:eat, but I, I whenever.
Speaker 3:I see that CD to this day. I just remember the snow. I don't like driving in those because at night there's no no one to help you. If you spin out you're dead, and that's a long way to go, hey what time?
Speaker 1:what time do you eat Thanksgiving? What time do you eat Thanksgiving?
Speaker 3:Um, we're about like five. We don't do early. What about?
Speaker 4:you. I'm about seven or five o'clock.
Speaker 1:I do mine between one and two because I grew up right. I grew up that way. So we would all go to the, the high school football game, which began at 1030. So by 1230, like it was done we would as we got a little older into our teens, we would trashed after the Thanksgiving day game and we would come home and my brothers and we would be hungry and it would just be all ready for us, like just ready to tear it up. So we always ate around 130, right.
Speaker 3:That was how I did it growing up. My mom would have, a but for some reason, I'm in this, this dinner time mode.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm stuck in that. You know I like that, because everybody leaves by four o'clock, four 30, and then you have to just the night to yourself. Yeah, that's true, kind of unwind and just kind of yeah yeah, so that's I kind of like that, and plus again, it's always been the way I've eaten Thanksgiving. I don't think I would have the patience to wait till five o'clock. I really I don't think I could wait those extra three or four hours.
Speaker 4:It's just like Darren McAvon and Christmas story, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Leave that Turkey alone. Yeah, absolutely, I'm cooking two tomorrow in my new wave oven. I'll show you, I'll send you pictures.
Speaker 4:I'm telling you.
Speaker 1:I'm telling you to fucking the new wave oven best Turkey cooker ever.
Speaker 4:I'm in a Turkey and a slow cooker ham yesterday.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love slow cooker recipes.
Speaker 4:I do too. I have a few. Yeah, it's almost like a. I almost feel like a corn beef is so tender, so I'm cooking corn beef tomorrow.
Speaker 1:My wife, my, wife did.
Speaker 3:I say that earlier Did I tell you no, you didn't. No, no, no, that's a great combination.
Speaker 1:My wife, the beautiful Dr Vera's, decided she wants to change it up this year. We would. We'd always get Turkey and ham. And so she said how about corn beef this year? Well, fucking forgot how expensive corn beef is off season. Yeah yeah, it's fucking expensive.
Speaker 3:Now isn't that ironic that it used to be the shit cut of meat back in the day Right Only the poor lobster too.
Speaker 1:Remember they used to feed prison. Is they used to feed them lobster, really?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I didn't know that.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, yeah, lobster was considered fucking like the roaches and see the scavengers.
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So when I do it, my corn beef, when I do this, everything's given me. I'm not doing the cabbage and all that stuff, it's regular Thanksgiving sides but I'll take the corn beef, the brisket or whatever and I'll soak it in apple juice overnight and I punch holes in it you know I kind of stab it but the and then I take it, all the corn beef and apple juice, and I put it in a pressure cooker and it actually I have a big one, a power pressure cooker XL. I love my kitchen gadgets so it actually can hold two corn beef in there. And then I put the peppercorns in there and I put it the slum, whatever the pressure cooker time is, I think it's like I don't know if I can like 15 minutes or something right, but it takes 15 minutes for it to print, to build up pressure and that shit, I'm telling you, comes out fucking like butter.
Speaker 3:How long do you actually cook it for? Actually?
Speaker 1:I'm not sure I have to. I have to look at. I have the recipe. I do it a few times a year. It's usually like 20 minutes, I think, in the pressure cooker.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, this is my pressure cooker is like cooks fast and you pour all the apple juice.
Speaker 1:I cook with the apple juice, yeah, I'm doing that next.
Speaker 3:I'm doing that for St Patty's Day.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm telling you. And then the next day, if you have leftovers, the meat, the meat tastes. You can get a little bit of more sweetness out of it with the apple juice, because it sinks in overnight like it's already cooked into it.
Speaker 4:Yeah dude home run every time. It's not so fermented, tasted, like you know, with the cabbage, no apple juice is all, it's all sugar.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know. But then when I cooked the St Patrick's Day, I take the cornbees out and that, that same juice I, you know, I pull, maybe, pour a little, and then I put all the vegetables in that too.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you know so. Yeah, so we're changing up the show. We got three cornbees, two turkeys, wow, oh yeah, plenty of lute the sandwiches.
Speaker 4:I've never made a cornbeef. Oh you got to do it. You got to do it every way possible.
Speaker 3:I've seared it and baked it. I've done all. They've baked it, okay, seared it first and then I've tried it all, but the best I got to do the pressure cooker, because I usually do a slow cooker.
Speaker 4:I'll do a cornbeef parmesan this year.
Speaker 1:You fucking animal.
