Lou:It's got like like trees, like christmas trees on it.
Scott:You, motherfucker, I'm wearing it. Just uh, you can the kentucky fried chicken scoff right, that's not the kfc one, is it? Yeah, it is, it's the kfc one yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, lfc motherfuckers well, mark is at kfc, lou is at shay's and, yes, he's at shows on, he's in, he's back in his hostel in france. I'm witnessing a guillotining, actually I just saw something on that that. Uh, you know why they did away with those they did in 1981.
Mark:They kept that going into the 80s it.
Scott:What happened was they? They there was like I don't know. They said there was like 30 000 people came out to watch this mass murderer get executed and they people were going nuts and it was bloodthirsty and all of a sudden it hit the papers that france, the french people, are bloodthirsty animals and it really started bang. Which who gives a shit about the French? Anyways, it banged up their reputation pretty bad. So they're like we're going to start doing this shit in private. Now, that's it. That's it.
Mark:So was that the one that Christopher Lee was witnessing? Because I think that was the last public execution.
Scott:The life of Christopher Lee. Why hasn't that been a movie yet? It probably will be. Oh my God. Yeah, what an amazing. If you haven't checked it out, go check out his Wikipedia.
Mark:I did. Why I did that? He's in a movie in 1966. So that I remember you mentioned some of the things that he witnessed. So I read that part of his biography. But there was the last. That was the last public guillotine beheading in France. They did it in private after that. Yeah.
Scott:Yeah, insane, his life is crazy yeah.
Lou:It was.
Scott:Yeah, let me see Dr Polchup. Bob Kirkman says imagine that. Yeah, imagine technical difficulties, I know, I know, whereas you have testicle difficulties. See, see how I did that. See, I could be a child too. Yeah, I can make childish comments too.
Lou:It's too fucking hot for a scarf yes, it's fucking july.
Scott:No, it's august 1st yeah mark's wearing a fucking christmas scarf.
Lou:It's not too hot for chicken was in philadelphia last night. It's like 100 degrees with 100 percent humidity. People got the fucking scars on.
Scott:I was like oh man yeah, how do those things smell this morning? Yeah, and they don't wash your jersey, no, they're dirty, dirty, europeans dirty french people. Dirty europeans, dirty philadelphians yeah, that's bad. Yeah, yeah, I'm a Flyers fan. It's almost as bad as a dirty New Jerseyite.
Lou:Eh not going to argue.
Scott:Jerky, New Jerky.
Lou:Uh-oh, uh-oh where's fucking Jack.
Scott:You know what's missing. You know what's missing my music. Let me get some of my music going, the mood music. Yeah, let's put on some lo-fi, let's see.
Lou:Lou needs us to calm down.
Scott:We don't need jack damn mock talent there we go A little lo-fi, a beat Instead of that lounge music. I like that.
Lou:I want to hear Girl From Ipamima.
Scott:You'll hear nothing in Lycus. Okay, you know what I want to jump right from Ipamema? You'll hear nothing in Lycus. Okay, you know what I want to jump right into this? I got a problem with some drumming lists. Okay, yeah, I got a problem with some drumming lists.
Scott:So, you know, it's always like, hey, who's the greatest drummer? It's about time we fucking kicked Keith Moon and Bonham to the fucking side. It's time to fucking move over, get them off. It's just, nobody in this generation knows who the fuck they are number one, right. It's just, the drummers have become much more and I think Ginger Baker still hangs in there, because that jazz drummer thing is just it's. I think that's a timeless type of of of beat drummer style, right, but this banging and this radicalness, that's that shit's kind of dying. So you know who? Um, do you know who philip selway is? Do you know who Philip Selway is? No, you don't, right? No, so let's see, I'm going to put something out here right now. Let me pull something up here. We didn't get banged up the other day from last episode, from the music we played, which I was kind of surprised at. Let's go to. Let's see, hey, I'm gonna give you, let me see I think I need to play it again here we go.
Scott:All right, let's see if I'm hooked up to. I think I need to play it again. Is that what you said? Yep, absolutely, that's right, buddy. All right, we're connected. Now Let me turn this up, let me give you a little, and then maybe you'll know who it is. That's not it?
Lou:That's a good song though.
Scott:Could be Benny Benjamin. Here we go, right there. I think I know who this guy is this is the kick drum in. This is fucking. If you hear it on a good stereo it's like boom boom, boom, boom boom it's so off, it's on, it's that untimed rhythm.
Mark:It's all syn. It's on. It's that untimed rhythm. It's all syncopated. If you look at the back beat, it's what you do with the kick drum. So is this that drummer you're mentioning? Yeah, what's that Is that his band.
Scott:Radiohead. Oh, from Radiohead okay, Is the drummer from Radiohead? Yeah, Let me see. And then it kicks in like let's go down here. This is why Radiohead this song is one of the reasons they are the most technically sound band in the world.
Lou:He's definitely part of their sound.
Scott:He's created their. They are so and so why isn't this guy? Like, if you listen to their music, he is another version of Stuart Copeland in a sense, but he's fast, he's accurate, he's clean, he's unique. Like, why aren't drummers like him? Or Danny Carey from Tool right, he's in that mold of Neil.
Mark:Peart rightre right, well, I think a lot because music has become segmented. Yeah, um, you know, back in, you know the classic rock days, you know there was heavy metal, acid rock, but you know, I think that's why some of those, the classics like bottom moon and others, I know what you mean by it's time to kind of move over.
Mark:The thing is they will when they stop being influential. I think, for example, my son he's 18, but he's been playing drums since he was like five and he likes Bonham, he likes Moon, he likes them for their individuality, and Ginger Baker as well, but he does like some newer bands, but I don't think he likes these newer bands so much for the drumming as for the music, whereas I think something like I got. Like a bottom, a moon stood out because, well, he's an interesting case, moon, he was very singular. You know, no one else could do that. I get it.
Scott:I get interrupted. First of all, the beautiful, the beautiful Tiffany Van Hill says hello, what's up y'all?
Mark:I will see you tomorrow.
Scott:Tiff, see you tomorrow. Then we got, of course, mark bro, talent, peter, chris bro. Yeah, okay, he's doing that on purpose. Fly with the Dutch mentor. That's Walter Dusselberg. Don't tell the people who it is, you just don't dox him. Fly with the Dutch mentor. That's Walter Dusselberg. Don't tell the people who it is oh yeah. Don't dox him. Fly with the Dutch mentor. I've got to get the meaning behind that.
Lou:He is a helicopter pilot and an airplane pilot whatever you call it. He has a pilot license and he's a helicopter pilot as well. Okay, that's how many people that could do both, you know?
Scott:Right. So he says Mark Smith is expert in music and a rookie in politics.
Mark:That I will agree with. Love him like that.
Scott:I think he and the Dutch mentor will get along maybe.
Lou:Oh you would. Walter is a rookie in music and a rookie in politics.
Scott:Oh, that's going to be between you two.
Mark:Alright, let's get back to the show.
Scott:I'm sorry, andrew, but the viewers come first. Right, viewers come first, or listeners. So again, why aren't these guys like influential? So when does Stuart Copeland become influential, right, at what point I mean he's been around for, or when does he?
Mark:stop.
Scott:I don't know if that being influential puts you at the top of the list. Any drummer you can talk to has some sort of influence by somebody. There's some fucking kid out there that says Taylor Hawkins is his influence.
Mark:Yeah Well, I think maybe you'd have to see the opinions of people much younger than us, and that's what I mean.
Scott:I think we love. We came from the greatest time in the history of music. There's no doubt we were alive at the perfect time for music, Right.
Mark:Like us and there was great individuality in music and that's, like I said, like a band like cream zeppelin sabbath. You know they're all very unique at what they do for what I can tell. And there, you know, there's stand-up bands of the newer stuff. The playing it's good, but I don't know the guitar player from cage the elephant. I would know him from the guitar player and I can't think of what we're talking like radiohead radio has. I mean, I in. I can't think of a band.
Mark:We're talking like radio head radio has, I mean I I think I think for people of a certain age too, I think they probably are influential. Um, what I heard there to me was interesting, but I wasn't gonna be like it's not gonna blow you away, because, no, no, it's not something that but.
Scott:But it's subtle, but it's, if you listen, it's just just that the whole style it carries the whole song that is the drum. Is the whole thing in that song, the bass and the drum, really right? But I don't know. I just listen to a lot more of their music and the guy is just there's a video of them doing a cover of the Smith song, headmaster Ritual, and this guy is just so fucking like in tune. He's just technically fucking perfect. Yeah, you know, and that's just the way I see it. And like why aren't these guys? They'll never be on that list because the list is tattooed on the fucking brains of every drama that comes down the road. You think it's almost, almost legislated it's, almost it is.
Mark:Let me ask you this, sir for some someone who's say 25 years old, if they're listening to radiohead and you listen to zeppelin blindly, I mean, if he's, they're going to be turned on to what they're turned on to. I don't, I don't think, I don't think they're up there on this list still, because it's like a four, I think. Yeah, I think the younger people too are putting their names in there. You know, I think that's. I think it was just because they were so individual. There was, you know, it was like gene krupa, buddy rich, then you had bomb, and I don't think you don't so much have that in today's music. I'm not saying some of these players aren't good. Who was the first?
Scott:I think some of the drummings become rather faceless and that's, that's a product of the of the industry number one and the digital, because we're not hearing.
Mark:We're not hearing what's everything.
Scott:That's a product of the industry number one and the digital industry, Because we're not hearing everything that's out there. Not that we ever did. No, no, it's true. Not that we ever did.
Mark:But yeah, a slave to the format. You know we're streaming. We're talking about streaming where you got to start singing right away or no one's going to listen to you. So you got to get a cool standing guitar riff yeah, seconds, it's wag the dog.
Scott:I mean that's, that's the tail was wagging the dog there and I disagree with it.
Mark:Yeah, baker market mark tallent and I, I said ginger baker, yeah, I mean yeah, and I never appreciated him when I was younger. I didn't until I became more versed and educated on what I was um listening to you know, and I just fuck a guy like him, and that's because you will hear something different every time you listen to badge or whatever, even the simplest songs.
Scott:It's just like me and me and mark talent had and I'll never forget this because I remember the weirdest points in my life. I remember conversations I just remember from like 40 years ago. I just for some reason they, they just burn into my brain and him and I had this conversation probably over some, lots, a lot of alcohol and some other outside influences in the 80s.
Scott:Wink, wink right and uh got a roll of dollar bill and he actually understood the fucking brilliance of Stuart Copeland in the 80s Like that, such that offbeat style, that very kind of you just can't really, but it works. It's that unorthodox, unorthodox style that he has and like the kicks in the snare in the odd places, yeah, odd places, yeah, and it's, it's brilliant. I mean, that's a brilliant musician, right. Devil's dandruff, yeah, um, and. But stewart copeland is just now starting to really within the last I don't know, say years, like five years or something, really starting to be recognized for how great he is. And and I I'd have to say, uh, it's almost like the mtv syndrome, it's the, it's the viral video syndrome, it's the reels oh yeah, social media he has.
Scott:He's been a lot of reels I share them all the time and I send them to you guys, and then you're like you just start going.
Mark:you know what this fucking guy is really was that great my brother sent it to me the other day. Where he's playing and he picks up something and starts eating it Watermelon. He's eating watermelon, yeah.
Scott:And then they show the camera pans he's got a fucking plate of watermelon slices. Pans he's got a fucking plate of watermelon slices. While he's playing like he's drumming with one hand and his feet and he's eating a fucking slice of watermelon, and then he takes the hut and throws it, like you know, behind him and just starts drumming. And I'm thinking the first thing I thought of was he got fucking watermelon juice all over his sticks. That's gonna be sticky moment, which I guess is good for a drama, he's not going to drop them.
Scott:But Robert Kirkman says got to run and I've never had someone's balls run. Oh sorry, you got to go, dr Porkchop, really sorry, you got to go. So the Dutch mentor, cc Mark, you fucking scared him away.
Lou:Nah, he doesn't know much about music, and when it gets really like this, he feels inferior.
Scott:It's the only time in his life he feels inferior. He said he doesn't love you anymore either because of your comment. But yeah, I was listening to that and that song popped on. It's one of my favorite radio head songs and I'm like, why does this guy not get? But then again, then again, radio head never went looking for it either they're not a band where they let any one person do the interviews. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, the drums are very textural, so you have to be more music minded to appreciate it.
Lou:Whereas led zeppelin, these bands had 15 minute drum solos, so you have to be more music-minded to appreciate it. Whereas Led Zeppelin, these bands had 15-minute drum solos, so you knew all about the drummer.
Scott:And they were pushed in the media and you knew who you were getting on an interview. Most of the time it was going to be Robert Plant or Jimmy Page. Every once in a while Bonham was in there. But these guys like Tool, like Danny Gaye, they stay very low key, Like we don't want the limelight, we don't want the interviews, we don't want any of that, you know.
Lou:And that guy from Tool is really really good.
Mark:And nobody really wants to talk to the drummer.
Scott:No, no, unless it was Keith Moon. So there you go again.
Lou:There.
Scott:I go again right, Unless everybody wanted to see what he was going to do I think jimmy chamberlain from smashing pumpkins was.
Mark:He was a drummer. I thought had I noticed him. As far as I mean, I was going back to the 90s and stuff, but at that time that was, you know, alternative rock. You know there's the bill burry's and you know it's kind of solid drummers and there's a guy like jimmy chamberlain. That was a player and jazz trained as well, absolutely.
Scott:And they once I, when I was again in the 80s, when I started realizing and I found out that Stuart Copeland was a jazz drummer, is when I started really looking at Ginger Baker and I'm like, wait a minute, now Let me fucking take a second listen to all this and not take that shit for granted, because you got you know these fucking mega stars up front, you know and cream and just listen.
Mark:I'm like damn, like what the fuck? Even on say um, can't find my way home, blind faith. Listen to the drumming. It's unusual yeah it's just something different.
Scott:The symbols are different yeah, yep, and, and that's production also, but the drummer is the one that adds those little things to it, right lou?
Mark:right, and the rule is you can have a great guitar player, great singer, great bass player. If your drummer sucks, your band sucks.
Scott:Well, that and that's and that's proven many times over by you know again the story of uh, what's his name? From the heartbreakers when uh and lynch, yeah, when tom payne was like you're just not cutting it anymore. So as the average listener, right, we don't really pay attention. I know it's probably hard for you not to pay attention, lou, because it's what you do, it's what you've been doing.
Scott:I'm Mark because of what you did. You know listening and, listening, and listening. But I think, as the average, like I was an average listener to them. I just loved them and I'm like I don't see anything wrong with the dude.
Mark:No, I think he was. Also. He was singled out for having a certain sound and kind of a style. Back then, you know, in the music in the drummer magazines I think it was a recording of Damn the Torpedoes I think there was something that was rubbing Jimmy, rubbing jimmy ivy in the wrong way about him, but they couldn't, they couldn't fix it. Whatever. It was only got worse when they brought in other drummers. When he came back they cut those tracks.
Mark:I mean yeah so that's kind of cool. I mean, that's something. It's indefinable. They couldn't say what it what it was not working. I thought he wasn't jiving with the vocals, but he was very critical of himself too. Stanley, and she said last mary, mary jane's last dance was the most comfortable he felt on the drums wow at least with tom petty. I mean yeah, but uh so that's scrutiny too.
Mark:I mean, how could you feel comfortable when you're, your career is on the line? The drummer is, as long as you're not cutting it, and he's got to prove that you, he can still be in the band. That's a lot of pressure, yeah, man.
Scott:Yeah. Remus on YouTube says what are your favorite concept albums? Mark, give us an answer.
Lou:Ooh, top of my head, I'll go with. It's a toss-up between Quadrophenia and the Wall. I can't pick one over the other. I have to say both of those.
Scott:So concept albums are? It's an interesting question, because concept albums there's not many that are popular.
Lou:And they don't always tell a story. It could be a concept album of themes. Rush have some concept albums in which Neil Peart was writing had themes that could be considered concept too, but as far as telling a story quadrophenia in the wall that's told those stories so well lou and I'm trying to think I mean the most obvious one to me.
Mark:I was just is tommy, but I'm you know right right, so I'm not gonna lie.
Scott:I mean I, I. It's hard to say so. What's your, what's your definition of? Oh see, the dutch mentor came back oh, he knows his wall.
Scott:We went to see the wall every day we saw the yankee stadium, so okay we're looking at this as a concept album, as an ongoing, like it's something. That's that's it. You know it's a storyline. Yeah right, you know it's a storyline. Yeah Right, you know there's a storyline behind it, beginning and end. So then I just and I know the same ones you guys know, you know Rick Wakeman, journey to the Center of the Earth, right Right, that's a pretty amazing fucking album, right, for people that like that type of music. Um, so, these are some concept albums, and now put these in perspective to tommy and the wall and, uh, marvin gaye, what's going on? That album is a concept album, yeah it's a concept album.
Lou:Yeah, it's around, it's a theme running through it right. Another perfect example that the final cut from ping floyd, where it it concerns soldiers in world war ii, and then side two was back home what they went through. So it was a loose theme, but it wasn't telling a story, it just told, you know, soldiers in the aftermath.
Scott:So what about the rise and fall of ziggy sada's fucking? Is that not an epic fucking album? But it's never looked at as a concept album is every song related to a theme?
Mark:is it? Did he intend?
Scott:evidently it is because they're calling oh, okay. So what about? Um, okay, diamond dogs yeah, diamond starts off with the fucking a whole monologue. Okay, diamond Dogs yeah, diamond Dogs starts off with the fucking a whole monologue. Right, and then the album really kicks in where he says this ain't rock and roll, this is genocide. Diamond Dogs is basically a concept album of the book 1984. But we went to George Orwell's family and said hey, I'd like to do an album on this. No, we're not going to let you. But he still put a song in there called 1984 yeah so how is that?
Scott:okay? I would put fucking diamond dogs up there, with all of those with quadrophenia in the in in fucking who, tommy, I mean? And the wall. I'd put Diamond Dogs up there, fucking all day.
Mark:Was it pushed as such? Was it stated as such when it came out? Everybody knows Tommy is. It's a rock opera. Was what's going on?
Scott:stated as a concept opera I don't know. So let me correct you there Tommy was a rock opera, rock opera. It wasn't called a concept opera, it was was a rock opera, rock opera. It wasn't called a concept album, it was called a rock opera. So does that fall into the place of a concept album? Sure.
Lou:Yeah, sure, you had the singer singing actual parts of the character so that's a rock opera.
Mark:The band's second album was a loose concept about the American South, right, but it wasn't like. This is about reconstruction, that kind of thing, right, sergeant Pepper.
Scott:All right, there you go. Is that maybe not the greatest concept album ever?
Mark:I don't think so.
Scott:And why not?
Mark:It's one of the greatest albums ever. I have problems with some of it. I think some of the material is weak Example Within you. Without you, it's 12 minutes. Problems with some of it. I think some of the materials weak example within you without you it's 12.
Mark:I mean it's interesting, but his indian explorations before and after that were much more interesting. I, I mean, there's some nice songs, lovely, read. A meter made to me isn't isn't up there with their classics. Great song, man, that's a great song. There was a pin, I do think. A day a day in the life. If day in the life was not on that record, it wouldn't you know that's a great song. There was a pin, I do think a day a day in the life. If day in the life was not on that record, it wouldn't you know. That's the saving grace of the record. Um, I like good morning, good morning. They can, but you know that's one man's junk, you know. Yeah, good morning, good morning is one of my favorite songs that they do and then he goes.
Scott:That was a total fucking throwaway, yeah he's uh he considered it, it's a great song, though to him. I mean, they can say that, though they can say that oh, hell yeah yeah but for the layman you know is she's leaving on that album yes oh my god fucking talk about if you have a daughter. If you have a daughter, it's gonna say you fucking listen to that song like, okay, there's this. There's two versions of that song Before daughter and after daughter.
Scott:I can't listen to it without crying, and I know everybody that might be listening, all the fucking 12 and a half people that are listening to this fucking. If you have a daughter and you know, you know, if you know, you know, there's a fucking big difference between that. It's like catching the cradle and having a son Like which. I fucking hate that song. We all know this. Uh, I hate the fucking group and I hate the album. But american idiot green day. They had a fucking broadway play based on yeah right, that's where they jumped. It won the fucking grammy. It did the whole thing. Oh, they definitely. They jumped the shock big. I'm a punk, but punk but I went on Broadway. No, they're not. They've always been posers.
Lou:Always. They were never punks.
Scott:Always. They're a pop band.
Lou:Yeah, hard pop yeah.
Scott:They try to be like cool, like you know. Look at us, you're a pop band. You're up there with fucking Blink-182 motherfuckers a little better than that now no, that's well there's a lot, I don't know a lot of people that love, blink 182, dude you're right, the drummer is apparently influential.
Mark:He's a he's another one, yeah travis. Uh, travis, pickle yeah that's parker travis, barker Travis.
Scott:Barker Yep.
Mark:Was married to.
Scott:Pink, I think for a while.
Mark:He's a Kardashian now. Oh is he? He's not real anymore, though. No, no, jump to shock.
Scott:Yeah, but so concept albums? I mean I love the fact that Remus just jumped in and changed the whole flow of the show. It's great. I love that Because we never really had this type of talk about these things, the Land, land, land.
Mark:On Broadway Genesis. That was a concept.
Lou:Yeah, An English progressive band writes a concept album about a Puerto Rican boy in New York City. You know you can't get more different than that 1974. What about?
Scott:2112?.
Lou:One side. The concept in a dystopian, collectivist future can't get more different than that 1974. What about?
Mark:2112 what about 2112? One side, the concept in a dystopian, collective, collectivist future.
Scott:A guy finds a guitar and begins the dream of a better world. Yeah, you know, that's, that's the concept. On that one, let's go into the concept. What was the concept of ziggy status, right? Yeah, uh, let's see. It says uh, david bowie, the rise and fall of ziggiestadas taken on its own, the rise and fall, it was a classic set of futuristic rock songs. Within the context of david bowie's whole thing, it goes into this big detail. But so you know, I have a modern one.
Mark:Huh, I have a modern day concept record. All right's hear it. Blue Oyster Cult Imaginose yes, no talking about Blue.
Scott:Oyster Cult, you never said that here, that's not me, that's not me.
Lou:It's a great concept. It's a great story aliens and ghosts. It's great it's a science fiction concept album and the last rush album that they wrote, last studio album that rush ever recorded clockwork angels was such a good concept that, uh, neil peart worked with an author and he created a book called that's right.
Mark:That was like his once upon a time in hollywood novel yeah, watchmaker, oh i's yeah.
Scott:So let's see something here.
Mark:What about Zebra Does?
Lou:Zebra do a concept record. Nah, they just do great fucking music. There you go, there you go.
Scott:So you got these, like you got in 2014,. Tomas Holopapian right. He did an album called Music Inspired by the Life and Times of Scrooge in 2014.
Mark:It's a concept album right let me see what else was scrooge like? As a little boy? He's probably a miserable little fucker I don't know.
Scott:Let's see what the concept was he went wrong he broke bad the night.
Scott:the night wish guitarist takes a deep dive into the story of Scrooge not the original Dickens character, mind, but Scrooge McDuck. Oh God, as in the Disney character right, when you're an artist, you write about things that truly inspire you. He told someone a couple years ago it's one of my favorite book series and the idea was so absurd that I just had to realize it. I think it might be the first time the graphic novels have ever been scored, but whenever I read them my head was always filled with music.
Scott:So, you know what? I can't knock it because I haven't heard it. You know what it would be good for that dude.
Mark:Everyone in life meets a great teacher, excuse me. Duckworth says that's you know what I mean, but good for that dude.
Scott:Everyone life meets a great teacher. Excuse me duck was his.
Lou:That's right. That's right.
Lou:I got a good concept album for you yeah, and it's not a story but a theme porcupine trees, fear of a blank planet. If you have never heard it, you listen to it. It's all about kids growing up medicated. They all care about just video games, these kids that are latchkey kids. They don't have parents at home and they're doing their own thing. Um, one of the lyrics is don't try engaging me. The vaguest of shrugs, the prescription drugs, you'll never find a person inside. I mean just like. But the whole album concerns kids that have no way and they, you know, doing whatever they're doing, you know, yeah, yeah, that's a. That's one of the best concept albums. I should have brought that up. It's one of my favorites.
Scott:Then there's Glory Hammer right Space 1992, Rise of the Chaos Wizards. It's Space 1992, but it was made in 2015. What do you do if your pirate-themed day job band isn't quite preposterous enough? If you're Aylstrom frontman Christopher Bowes? If you're Aelstrom frontman Christopher Bowes, you reinvent yourself as the dread wizard Zagathorax and start a new conceptual fantasy sci-fi band called Glory Hammer. Mad story filled with goblin kings, chaos, unicorns and raging astral dwarves from aberdeen I hung out with a raging astral dwarf once, aberdeen new jersey.
Scott:All right, I can't believe so how do we do that? I think probably so. So how does?
Mark:this how does?
Scott:this always play into this. Lou and Mark, did you know? In 2010, the great, maybe the most interesting man in the world, christopher Lee, right Charlemagne by the sword and the cross. In 2010, he did a concept album, wow.
Mark:Yeah, was that his metal record? Yep.
Scott:Yep, he found time to record a pair of metal albums charting the rise and fall of emperor charlemagne, of which this was, uh, the first dude.
Lou:it's just fucking all over the place they are available on spotify so we can all listen seventh son of a seventh son, mark yep iron maiden.
Scott:Iron maiden concept album.
Lou:A lot of their albums were concept albums.
Mark:Bruce dickinson is a poet and uh, yeah, all right, I read, I read where everyone who has any european heritage can trace their dna back to charlemagne really yeah, dude, got around, got around. It's good to around, it's good to be king.
Scott:It's good to be king, yeah.
Mark:Or a day I was Prima Nocta, or whatever.
Scott:And he did All right, you know what we didn't do. Let's get out All right. Good, I like that, bobby G. What's?
Lou:up buddy. We might be able to flesh that out at a later time.
Scott:Because thought of 20 more you know, yeah, we, we could probably do that.
Lou:But we, we never started to show off with 45 poker, me being a prog fan I love concepts, all right, so here we go 45 poker for the people lack of concept records.
Scott:Yeah, that's, that's my music for the people that are new to this we each get three 45s dealt out like a poker hand, and the guy or the we're gonna bring in uh is I don't know who who's still on. We'll say Mark Flynn. We'll put Mark Flynn in the game tonight.

Scott:Let's see Now.
Scott:See Luke so this reminds me while we have him looking this up. So, big boss man, mark Flynn, we were stationed together in the Philippines and he hates losing, he fucking hates losing Right. And um, I used to fucking kill, kill him in in trivial pursuit. We'd be drunk for trivial pursuit Right and he was so petty he was so petty when he was losing that when you get a trivial pursuit answer, he would look at you. And so if, if the question was, uh, what is the? Uh, you know what is the famous song from mary poppins, and name a thing, and I would say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, he would say spell it this is how petty he was, and if you didn't spell it he'd say no, like, where does it say in the rules?
Scott:you have to spell the fucking answer.
Mark:Right, right this is how petty.
Scott:And he's still petty like that to this day.
Lou:I had a teacher do that to me in Zion Lutheran School and I was able to spell it on the chalkboard. It's kind of hard if you think about it. We were drunk.
Scott:We were trash. He's like spell it, but he said it very aggressively, like you're not going to know. Spell it Like if you spelled somebody's name wrong, nope, doesn't count, he made up his own fucking rules. It's a true story, True story.
Lou:Oh, to be a fly on the wall.
Scott:And he would make us play. He would like fucking hound us to play, just so he could try to win. He won every once in a while. I haven't played that in so long. All right, let's get some Pats of Loot, Melanie.
Mark:Let's see it hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100. It's all good. December 1971 to January 1972.

Scott:Fabre, she was a lingerie Linger, linger.
Mark:Claudine Linger. Yeah, so, mark, she's from Long Branch, new Jersey. Yeah, yeah, my father met her in a furniture store when that song came out, Because he came in and he goes. I met this girl, melanie, a singer, in a furniture shop.

Mark:I'll be there ha, I'll be there. That was a tough one. That was a tough one.
Scott:I gotta go with. I'll be there superstition. I never was a really huge fan of that song. I liked it. It comes on. I probably don't listen to it. It's just a song that I thought was a good song. It's been covered well, yeah.
Lou:Stevie Ray's version is better to me. Yeah, I'd listen to that.
Scott:I would listen to that version Mark Superstition or I'll Be there, I'll Be there, I'll.
Lou:Be there. That intro. I remember being a kid and my sister playing it. It was a hot summer day and it was echoing around the house. It's one of those.
Scott:Yeah, so that's a good story.
Mark:Next Well, guess what year it came out.
Lou:You don't like Alan Rickman stories.
Scott:No, I was just messing with you, like alan rickman's story I had.
Lou:I was just messing with you, so go on. It was a hot day and I called my answering machine to tell a joke, so when I got home I wouldn't feel so alone.
Scott:That was a family guy with alan rickman tell me about the song it's just that intro is haunting and it came out in 1966, but you were reminiscing and I interrupted you and then I heard your feelings and you won't tell the story now, when it's 100 degrees out.
Lou:I remember growing up. Remember we all grew up without air conditioning.
Mark:We suffered heat. We talked about that. Not me, not me. Oh, you were a rich kid, we're at Central oh, in the seven, how does swimming pool in my bedroom?
Scott:that was that was called. It's called a waterbed lou that's healthy sure there was no fucking mold. There was it, I was raised.
Mark:I was raised on chlorine.
Scott:I'm sure there was no mold in that room chlorine's made me the man I am today so you gotta think if these fucking swimming pools in these, these hotels like the indoor ones, when you walk in it's just got that musty smell to it right you can't think that if lou had a fucking swimming pool in his bedroom, that thing didn't fucking stink to high heaven.
Mark:Right, you know we did have. We had a pool in our backyard and my dad bought this bubble. It was a plastic bubble and over the whole pool in the wintertime it had fans that blew it up. Oh, he was ahead of his time on that. It was weird because you had a fence around it. It looked like the Hindenburg landed in the backyard. That's great man it was great. We would run from the house because it was like in the snow, run the house into the pool. It was heated.
Scott:Oh wow, it pays off when your dad's a mobster, see how that fucking pays off.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, yeah. That pool fell off the back of a truck.
Scott:I was just going to say this. So did the bubble. Some people say it's a mobster. All right, we got sidetracked here. Let me see. Patty says I'll be there. Mark says all right, so let me see. What's the next one. Okay, lou, you make Sugar pie, honey bunch. But what's the name of the song? I?
Mark:can't help myself. Can't help myself.

Mark:Stop in the name of love or you can't hurry love. Stop in the name of love.
Scott:Yeah, yep, I got to go with. Stop in the name of love also. Yeah, mark.
Lou:You can't hurry love, and I love Phil Collins' cover of it too.
Scott:Can't argue with that. Yeah, he did a good cover of it.
Mark:Yeah, pretty faithful cover.
Scott:Yeah, yeah, yeah. So let's see. And Patty says you can't hurry love, we got a tie on that one All right, you can't hurry love. This might be a tough one. 30 seconds or something. These last two might be tough. These are tough ones, I think. All right, lou, you make the call. Ain't no Mountain High Enough, or Someday We'll Be Together. Yes, we will.
Mark:All you have to do is say Ain't no Mountain High Enough All. Right, that is to me. That is the best Motown song of all time. That is my favorite. Say Ain't no Mountain High Enough All right, that is to me.
Scott:That is the best Motown song of all time. That is my favorite. Ain't no Mountain High, that's a fucking great song Boom, boom, boom.

Mark:What do you think of Diana Ross's version of Ain't no Mountain High? It's okay, I think it's good, it's good, it's good, yeah, yeah.
Scott:Patty says, someday We'll Be Together, mark.
Lou:I agree with Patty. Someday We'll Be Together.
Scott:Ah Wrong wrong, wrong go Mongo alright here we go. This is the big one. This is the big one to me. This is a tough one to me. This is a tough one. Heard it through the grapevine. This is Lou making the call. Heard it through the grapevine. Or papa was a rolling stone, heard it?
Mark:through the grapevine, or Papa was a Rolling Stone.
Scott:Heard it through the grapevine. Heard it through the grapevine. It was the 3rd of September. I gotta go with.
Mark:Papa was a.
Scott:Rolling Stone. That fucking song is fucking great man, it is Mark.
Lou:If they hadn't sold that to the California grape industry. I got so sick of hearing her to do the grapevine.
Mark:Yeah.
Lou:So Papa was Rolling Stone and it's a better subject matter.
Scott:I was going to say the story in that.
Lou:Yeah.
Scott:Mama. It's just great. And actually, who's the female in that song? There's a female in the break when they're all saying Papa was a real. And then, well, they start saying Mama, can you tell me about Papa? You know the talking in there. And then there's a female in there that asks a question I'm a Papa. And I was like who the fuck is that? Huh, yeah, see, you don't really never really pay attention. Alright, so you're saying Papa was a Rolling Stone, mark, yeah, and Patty says Papa was a Rolling Stone, that's it. Mark Flint said Marvin Wins, marvin Wins yeah. I mean, there's no wrong. Really, there's no wrong answers. They're all great songs.
Lou:I have something against Greatpevine because of that commercial.
Mark:Yeah, I get it. I like the subject matter in Herth of the Grapevine too, because it's yeah that's true. He's asking her right out, you know, yeah, yeah.
Scott:See, patty says yeah, there is a girl singing in that and Papa was a Rolling Stone. Yeah, I singing in that.
Mark:and papa was a rolling stone.
Lou:Yeah, I'd be, interested to know her name. Yeah, so there you go. That that was.
Scott:That was a good one, yeah, yeah, I've been, I've been on a roll lately, pulling these things out, yeah, and I make them up like as I I just get all this shit together and I I just, uh, just stop picking songs that I think are kind of ego. It's probably the most work I put into the show. That's pretty that way you ever sleep. I mean, your brain is running 24-7 what's that?
Lou:if you ever sleep, your brain must be running 24-7 dude my brain.
Scott:Yeah, and that's why I said in my Facebook post today about me. And then all of a sudden, I want to start a non-profit right. And recently my wife said to me she said and she's never said this to me. She said and she's never said this to me. She said, um, do you think you have? She said, adhd, but it's more like hyperactive disorder, right? And she said and I said no, you don't have adhd excitable. She's busted out laughing adhd, you wouldn't finish not attention deficit or just hyper, hyper active.
Scott:You finish everything you set out to do, so that's right but I, my fucking brain races, and then I I jump into something else, and then I jump into something else. Like, if I look back at and like I never stop doing, there's always something I'm doing. And now so I'm heard foundation doing that, then I do the podcast doing that. Now I want a non-profit. Like that's not enough. Now I'm getting asked to be on a veteran council for the county of palm beach. Yeah, it's like. So, like when do I say no? I think that's my problem too. Can't say no. I can't say no, yeah, I just can help. Yeah, I'll do it, I'll do it. Ptsd symptom is hyperactive disorder. Yeah, well, oh, mark, you laughed.
Mark:Wait a minute.
Scott:Mark, did you just laugh at that comment? No, why would I laugh at that? We're going to have to go to the video on this.
Lou:I smiled.
Scott:Are you turning red now, Mark?
Lou:Oh, it's easy to make me blush.
Scott:Just ask people at the hospital.
Lou:If you walk in the room, I blush. I mean, I just blush. It comes from trying to please people. I was like that's crazy.
Scott:Oh shit, Wait, he's got PTSD. I'm going to pull that smile back PTSD.
Lou:I'm going to pull that smile back.
Scott:It comes from growing up on a. Tv. This is one hour into the show. Okay Now.
Lou:I can laugh.
Scott:Nothing's off the table with me. Trust me, oh I know that. I know that Well family, but that's everywhere.
Lou:You don't have a table.
Scott:My table's very small. Now my table overfloweth right, so let's do some albums that were released in 1966. We got to a couple of them last week. Well, this one came out in January, and it was a big deal. This was a big deal in 66. Ballads of the Green Berets by Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. Oh yeah, that album came out in 66. That was a big deal. Yeah yeah, dude came out and put the uniform on, and that's a tough time. That was a tough time, right. It was kind of like today there's patriots, and then there was, like, you know, there was people that were opposing the war. It's that's so, but that came out on, actually, january 20th. It was one of the first albums. The first album of the year, though, was just like us, by paul revere and the raiders. That came out on january 3rd 1966 when did the movie greenberries come out?
Mark:is that 69?
Scott:ah, that's, yeah, that's about right this sounds about right. Yeah, yeah with the jolly green. Is that the one that had the jolly green in it?
Mark:just fucking mowed down. I just remember the guy getting pulled into the board of nails or whatever.
Scott:Yeah, yeah when movies were movies, my friends. Yes, movies were movies.
Lou:All right mark, give us an album from 1966 I'm gonna give you sinatra at the sands with count bassy have you ever heard it?
Scott:count bassy so not with the sin. No, that was dean martin at the soprano scene when they parked the boat off in the fucking harbor.
Lou:Oh yeah.
Scott:The asshole lawyer's house, yep, and they just blared Dean Martin the whole time.
Lou:Live at the Sands. Now, this Sinatra at the Sands, I mean Count Basie, it's just hearing those two together. Yeah man For me. You know it's great and it's been redone with the whole concert and everything it's really uh loo, this is a wacky one.
Mark:The monks black monk time damn it, I had that too that is what I I discovered this album about over 10 years ago. It's one of the weirdest things. It is so eccentric. There are four or five servicemen in germany that formed this really avant-garde pre-punk, pre-psychodeal just weird. Check it out if you're interested, scott. It's uh, it's unusual, it's different.
Lou:Um, I always said, if I was, if I was old enough, that that's the band I would have wanted to okay, so we used to do an album review on our show and uh, lou you, right you, you had us review that. Now I love you, turn me on to that album.
Mark:No, all the guys, they all give them. They all shave the back of their heads like monks, but you know they did the whole shtick.
Scott:There's some youtube videos um not to be confused with the mummies. The mummies, oh, you gotta watch that video, those videos, these dudes came out and they were kind of like a punk band and like the guy has the, the organ up front, like the, and he rocks it back and forth and oh, I like it over, and, yeah, the mummies a little bit of a keith emerson thing take.
Scott:Take a look at that one of those videos. Yeah, they tried to do like and they they were around a long time ago but all of a sudden they tried. It's pretty easy to just say, hey, we're the mummies now, because you never see who's behind all that.
Mark:Mummy fucking outfit I think it was linen that they used back in the day yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, who's up me?
Scott:yeah, uh, this album was recorded in 1964 but released in 66. We might have touched on it last week. Lightfoot Good, lightfoot's debut album.
Mark:Yeah, do you know what the big song in that was? Which one? That album? It's what you Get For Loving Me.
Scott:Ah, okay.
Mark:Have you ever seen the documentary he goes? I wish I never wrote that fucking song. The song's really mean. It's a very mean-spirited song. Right goes.
Scott:I wish I wrote that fucking song.
Mark:It's always really mean, it's a very mean spirited song, right, oh, yeah, yeah well, he has a great song story man.
Scott:There's an interesting story, uh, about him and uh, he wasn't. You know, he had this reputation being a nice guy, but he was kind of a. He was a bird dog man and uh, what was it, um, what was the song?
Scott:uh, like a ghost in a wishing well, um, oh, um, if you could read my mind yeah, if you could read my mind, his, he wrote that song and he was in the middle, pretty much get ready to be divorced, and he wrote that and I I think his daughter was like, don't, don't do it, don't like.
Mark:And he released it and it was like kind of like yeah, she asked him to change the lyric, which he he did it later. The line is um, he said the feelings that you lack. Yes, he changed it to the feelings that we lack, but that's one reason why he stopped performing. Um for loving me, because it's just basically everything you had was gone. As you can see, that's what you get for loving me, because it's just basically everything you had was gone. As you can see, that's what you get for loving me. And Sundown was about Kathy Smith, the lady that gave John Belushi his yeah, we talked about that.
Scott:Mark Smith, I mean Mark Flynn, the big boss says Q&A. First question of the new segment, the old blank. Hold your urine for two and a half.
Lou:Oh, it's tough, it just goes back into me.
Scott:It doesn't matter. You know you can go blank on the screen, but last time he did that, people, he went downstairs and knocked over a fucking statue of Guadalupe. A big one A big one.
Lou:My wife is very devout Catholic. Yeah, buddy. And what I did was I bought her a big one, a big one. My wife is very devout catholic. Yeah, buddy. And and what I did was I bought her a new one for a lot of money, and then she pieced together the one that broke, so she got two out of it.
Scott:So oh look who joined the show. Well, my brother. He's out of the hospital. Milk duds and kumquats he's out of the hospital. Gee, that's too bad oh, what is?
Lou:he doing good, how Is he doing? Good, how's he doing?
Scott:I hope he's doing good. He says well, well, well, If it ain't sour milk and cassette decks.
Lou:Hey, he looks after me. He tells me not to drink too much. I appreciate that.
Scott:But he provokes. He tries to provoke Lou. He pokes the bear. He tries to provoke Lou. Lou's not biting anymore, though Lou doesn't bite anymore. No, I don't. That fish is too smart, that fish is fucking exhausted.
Mark:That's what it is. The hawk goes oh, you think so? Huh, I'm like Charlie the tuna, I don't think so.
Scott:Sorry, Charlie.
Mark:Yeah, my brother posts something on Lou's wall.
Scott:Lou just puts the fucking sorry. Charlie and sends it back up. Perfect and sorry colin and sends it back up perfect every time he posts you got it. Get the fucking meme of charlie to say sorry, just respond with that. I'm in trouble saying sorry, colin a picture of charlie and you're gonna fix it and say sorry, Colin, why didn't I think of that?
Lou:That's fucking crazy. You're interfering with the family. Lou, don't do it to me though I'll get you.
Scott:I'll get you. Don't do it to me. I got those good video memes. I got a shitload. I just keep doing crazy ass things. Got a shitload, I just keep going Crazy ass things. Okay, moving on. Where were we? Your turn, mark. Lou did you go, I just did like it didn't.
Mark:I yeah, go like that. Okay, you go, Mark, or me I'm going to Mark, I'm going to Mark.
Scott:We'll just kind of go around this circle, yeah.
Lou:Okay, I'm going to play 10 seconds of it. Do you want to lower your music?
Mark:Yeah, let me turn down my Uh-oh Mark, what are you?
Scott:doing Doesn't matter.

Mark:So that's a Burt Bacharach song, little Red Book. And they did not like the version that Love did.
Lou:Of course it doesn't sound like a Bacharach.

House of the rising sun is oh, yeah, yeah. There's ever been an epic song, that's that's, that's it.
Mark:That's one of them, yeah right, uh, his vocal performance and that has not been toppled right, exactly, exactly.
Scott:Well, he's hard anyways to topple he's still.
Mark:He's still around too. Yeah, his voice is is as unique as it gets. It's good, it's called having a pair of lungs for a little dude, like he's had a leather lung. He did, he did, it was, but it was all you know. It was no false set, it all came out full force, full force.
Scott:Yeah, you could just belt it out. Who's that? Mark Me, yeah, ah, superman. Yeah, buddy, that's it. Right there, that's a jam.

Scott:I don't. I don't remember hearing those they're, they're really good.
Mark:I in the midnight hour is great.
Scott:It's yeah I probably have heard them I just don't. I don't remember whether I didn't pay attention or what, but that might be. Yeah, that might be worth listening to again. All right, what do you got, mark?
Lou:over under sideways down from the yardbirds. It was the only album that jeff beck was on. It had happening 10 years time ago, which is a great song, and uh, over under sideways down the title track. Great, great album, all right.

Lou:Yeah, yeah, yeah. The first time jazz has ever been played on milk crates and turd navels.
Scott:I'm sure, yeah. Well, no jack, I might have snuck something in in the past. Maybe not, though he didn't have that technology sorry, it was so loud I'm gonna, I'm gonna send jack a text him. I'll say, hey, you want to sell a used microphone?
Lou:see what he says. What does that mean?
Mark:he doesn't he doesn't come on anymore.
Lou:He doesn't use that like that 290 microphone that he has. I'll buy it.
Scott:That's no deal, Jack. Hey, you got to use microphone for sale, Jack, If not. Tom Spallone has a closet full of them, does he really? But he doesn't have good ones. This microphone I got, he got to me. What do you have? What is that, by the way?
Lou:I don't know what brand it is.
Scott:It's MXD, but it's rated very highly up there with shore. It sounds pretty good, you know, mxd? Yeah, let me see.
Lou:Now I'm curious, uh, because I'm becoming a microphone fucking lunatic now it sure is the best for this, but uh, I use this for my guitar. I've recorded acoustic tracks and it sounds really good. It's good for instruments let's see. You can record mxl or mxd ah, oh yeah, there's a diamond around. It's mxl, I'm sorry, yeah, mxl, does it have a?
Scott:number. Is it a 990 is? It a v67g uh 990. Is it a v6 7g uh? 990 yeah, that's not a bad one. Yeah, yeah, large diaphragm, right, that's what she said. Um, yeah, tom.
Lou:Uh, thank you tom. Yeah, he parted with this for me, because when we're microphone, what happened was I started the show with lou and perry and then, uh, you, I was like he said you sound like shit, mark, you got to have a better mic. And then he was talking to you and he goes if you, if you're going to talk to scott, you got to have a good mic.
Scott:So I was.
Lou:I was big on that right from the beginning this mic was what he used for his short-lived podcast, which was really good, and I wish he would do it again yeah, that was uh.
Scott:I was listening to it. Then all of a sudden it was it's of those podcasts. So this is kind of what I'm going to be talking about in my pod lab. That's what I call it, the pod lab for my nonprofit, when I'm teaching these veterans. The pod lab and part of it is going to be like the concept and development of a podcast. Like you can't go into this without a concept and developing some and developing a whole format.
Mark:Oh yes, you can't go into this without a concept and developing some and developing a whole format. Oh yes, you can Touché my friend, touché.
Lou:Because that's exactly it. There's no ending.
Scott:There's no ending to the podcast. Like you become a listener All of a sudden. Like I tune in one week and Tom's not there, and then the next week, tom, and then there's one pops. One week and tom's not there, and then the next week, tom, and then there's one pops up and then it's not there, and then it's just never comes back like well, I like finality.
Lou:So, michael imperial, what's the guy's name? Yeah him and, uh, bobby bacalow I forgot his actor's name. They did a show where they were talking about each episode and dissecting it. It was during the covid lockdown and it was fascinating. So when they did the last show, they said guys, this is the last show this is a great run and that was good.
Scott:There was finality to it yeah, yeah, and I've actually heard a few. When I was doing all my research for podcasting like before I did this, maybe even during it, and I found this one dude. He had like I don't know like 80 episodes and he's like, uh, that's it, like yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm out of. Basically I've said everything I need to say, and he ended the podcast. I thought you know what? That's pretty fucking cool. And I was still young in this whole thing. I said that's pretty cool that he did that for his audience.
Scott:Yeah, you know, because there's a there's a whole fucking universe of five episode podcasts.
Lou:Yeah, six episode podcasts you know, what amazes me is you get these podcasts with really established people, like the sopranos podcast there's a lot of people behind they're using lapel mics and they sound like shit and the bobby bacalao guy you can hear rubbing on his shirt.
Scott:They don't care, it's like we have a whole team behind them actually road, road has these fucking microphones now. They're like a square. It's like a square thing and it kind of clips on and it's wireless, yeah, and I've watched a lot of videos on it and people have interviewed people and it sounds really fucking good and of course it hooks up to the Rodecaster, you know, but they sound really good. They're not those little. I forget the name of those microphones, but yeah, I'm like that's something I might be interested in down the road. Yeah, you know, I could go instead of loading up all the podcast gear and doing these interviews at you know people's places, instead of putting them on. Just say, I clipped this on boom, boom, boom.
Lou:And the person can lean back, he could lay. If he's got bad back, he can lean back or whatever. You know, yeah, yeah and that's another thing.
Scott:When I interview people, I have to tell them just kind of get closer to the mic. Yeah, because, they talk back here right and you can hear the difference when I'm back here than when I'm right here, of course, and that drives me, but I I usually tell them, but I understand they're nervous and they kind of stay like back.
Lou:So some of it's like this you know, and that's okay anyway, there's one good thing about leaning back, it's when I go here he goes again.
Scott:Okay, back to the show. Uh, who's up, mark? I just went. Okay, let's do a couple more and then get into the movies Cream, Fresh Cream.
Mark:Their first album, yeah With the big song was I Feel Free.

Scott:yes, pay no attention to the man behind the keyboard or the cell phone. I should say he's not watching that. Anyways, he's gonna watch this tomorrow, because he came in just to bust out balls and then leave. Probably, obviously fuck him, yeah, anyway. So, yeah, best of the beach, boys, mark, give us, uh, what I got?

They don't kind of beep it out with it out. They don't kind of beep it out with he says you're a son of a bitch. But they go.
Lou:This version that's not blocked out, that's where they let him say it so I love well-made dvds, so I got the 4k and they did a damn good job restoring it, yeah but the surround sound in the beginning.

Scott:let's see Fantastic Voyage come along and ride on the Fantastic Voyage. That's wrong. But all those movies they were great.
Mark:The late 60s had some great sci-fi Fantastic.
Lou:Voyage. I love that movie. I went on the fucking yeah, yeah.
Scott:I went on the ride at Universal right and it's one of those virtual rides right where they put you in the fucking booth and the screen is in front of you and it, you know, they get the sound system and fucks with all your senses and this pulsating thing when you're going through and it jerks you back and forth and it's just all like encompassing and I started getting fucking motion sickness. Oh shit, wow, I was like oh, and even in that, like the way they do it, just the sound that gets to you. They it's all scientifically fucking designed. Even when I closed my eyes, I was getting like, oh, this isn't good this isn't good the, the, now the uh, uh.
Scott:The premise of the movie is when a blood clot renders a scientist comatose, a submarine and its crew are shrunk and injected into his bloodstream in order to save him, which then turned into one of the greatest saturday morning cartoons ever. Never saw that did you wait a minute.
Mark:Oh, it was a saturday morning cartoon fantastic voyage.
Scott:One of the greatest saturday morning cartoons ever, wow don't remember that, oh yeah it was very boring in the movie.
Mark:Didn't donald pleasant start playing all those creepy? Wasn't donald pleasant's? And yeah, he wasn't. He wasn't the movie. Didn't Donald Pleasance start playing all those creepy, wasn't?
Scott:Donald Pleasance in yeah, he was in the movie.
Mark:Yeah, yeah, but in that kind of creepy semi-evil guy, yeah, yeah, in a Halloween movie.
Scott:Mark, give us a movie.
Lou:Oh it's my turn.
Scott:actually, you said. Lou said Fantastic Voyage. I was going to say that I believe this is a hammer film. Uh, dracula, prince of darkness, yes that is yeah, hammer women, hammer women were the best looking women in the history of movies. If you doubt me, you're fucking wrong. Don't google women of hammer rubenesque. Oh, oh, natural buddy, yeah, yeah, I don't know why they don't grow them like that anymore.
Mark:It's something in the hormones, something the food that people, I'm serious well, it's food they're not eating, or everything's synthetic, and it's just that it's become this, this model that everything has to be adhered to.
Scott:It's like I don't know, but you don't see women like that anymore. You see these women in the in the 50s and the 60s and the 70s, because they're english well, those were. But just even you look at old videos and they're like all right, these. But you don't really see that, like I didn't see it in the 80s, really like that, like oh okay, all right, it's got to be something geoengineering, animals, animals. So it's 10 years after his demise, count dracula is resurrected by his servant and praise on four unsuspecting english tourists who have taken shelter in his castle and it takes place in the 60s.
Scott:So there's like, there's like mod people and yeah, there's very voluptuous 60s women in there too.
Lou:Sven Gulli showed all those Hammer.
Scott:Mark texted me the other night watching a Sven Gulli movie. That was pretty funny. I love Sven Gulli, yeah, why?
Lou:not.
Scott:You know what he does, though he will do deep dives into all the actors characters and he does the whole like what's behind the movie, which into all the actors characters and he does the whole like what's behind the movie, which I really appreciate. So you want to see a good youtube video, a good youtube channel. It's called music, movies and monsters, music, monsters and movies. And this guy, dan monroe, he breaks down all these old like voyage to the bottom of the sea. Where are they now? And where's the submarines from? You know how they made it? He goes, does these like 20 minute, 15 minute deep dives into these tv shows, like I just watched the one on the six million dollar man, right, and you know the.
Scott:The classic six million dollar man episode was, you know, bigfoot, right, bigfoot had, you know andre the giant was the first one, then ted cassidy was the second one who went on to be, you know he was lurch, right, yeah, but uh, andre had, uh, the, uh, he had contact lenses in there were white, so bigfoot had these white eyes, which the same company that made the contacts for bruce banner and the incredible hulk made those for andre. So when ted cassidy went to put the suit on right, he said it stunk like body odor and a whole schlitz beer because andre was just weird, they never washed it you know, andre is a legendary drinker right and and he loves Schlitz.
Scott:He loves Schlitz and he'd get it all over this fucking hairy body costume.
Lou:I read what his record for beers in one sitting was. Oh, it's insane.
Scott:It's insane.
Lou:It really is. It's like 100 or something.
Scott:Yeah, it's insane. That's why it's called Schlitz. Yeah, schlitz. I used to drink that. Whose turn was it, is it?
Lou:mine, me, yeah, I think it's me. Well, we kind of mentioned this movie in passing, but Blow Up, which had a scene with the Arbors, with Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Train kept rolling Yep, yep, the first time I heard that it was different.
Scott:I'm so used to hearing the Aerosmith version and I'm like those aren't the words Right. Wait a minute. Who got the words wrong? That's the question, right.
Lou:You can watch that movie on Tubi for free.
Scott:Ah, okay, I'd watch it just for that scene. I'll just get that scene on YouTube. I love that, yeah, yeah, it's crazy when you yeah, it's crazy when you, when you don't know the, the, the basis of the movie, and you just watch that video. Yeah, it's an absolute what the fuck is going on here, like, yeah, you know, he walks in the room, he walks in this room, and the fucking yardbirds are up on stage jamming and the fucking crowd is just standing there it is an italian movie.
Scott:They were quite quite unique, you know they just everyone's just standing there watching like zombies, right, and they're on stage going fucking nuts.
Scott:You know, I don't know anyway, uh, lou fahrenheit 451 yeah, yeah, yep, a pertinent movie temperature which, what a paper burns, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, mark, mark, uh, uh, flynn, the big boss man just mentioned uh having a fantastic voyage of his own when he was younger, thinking he probably still does, thinking of raquel welch in a wetsuit. Speaking of that, I think it all started. It all started with one million years bc mark hit the ceiling that night.
Mark:Huh, that was the lag Stalactites, buddy Stalactites.
Scott:Yeah, mark Flynn never hit the ceiling of anything, he only hit the ceiling of his fucking underwear.
Mark:That was it I'm going to start laughing I can't stop.
Scott:Mark Flynn, he didn't hit the ceiling of nothing. Yeah, he says it might only be four inches, but it's thick as a can of corn. Shit he says it might only be four inches, but it's thick as a can of corn, that's his favorite line.
Mark:That's his favorite line and I give him credit for that line.
Scott:It might only be four inches long, but it's as thick as a can of corn. It's great.
Lou:I got to remember that one because I am Irish.
Scott:It's a good one, use it, use it. It's a mic. No one, no one ever has a comeback for it. Uh, he says three inches is the size of a canvas uh, let's see. Uh, yeah, one million years bc. That's that epic fucking poster yeah, right, and then. So that's the poster of the movie. It it's kind of that drawn version, but then they did an actual picture of her with that pose, you know, and like just the greatest looking cave woman ever, that's a remake my wife was named.
Scott:Well, maybe both of my wives, oddly enough, were named after Raquel Welch. How weird is that? Oh wow, yeah, because my first wife's name was raquel. Also, did you know that you were married three times, or twice twice? My first wife passed away. Her name was raquel filipina, and then I met my now wife dr vera yep, dr vera, and I find out she's filipina and her name was raquel. Oh, really, really, oh, okay, I'll tell you the story someday. It's a very interesting story.
Lou:Very serendipitous. If I can ever brave the large insects of Florida, I will come down and meet her and you.
Scott:There's no large insects. It's not like I live in the fucking Everglades.
Lou:I heard you got flying water bugs going all over the place. No, the roaches fucking everglades. I heard you got flying water bugs going all over the place and there's like fucking crocodiles in front of the house and everything.
Scott:I live in fucking boca and if they are big flies, they're very expensive. Big they're ritzy, they don't. They aren't gonna eat your new jersey blood. You kidding me? That's true. They only want boca blood. Don't get drunk if they eat my blood. Yeah all right, let's get a couple more movies and we're gonna wrap it up, gentlemen.

Scott:Mark Flynn trying to be smart and funny. He lives in Boca. The only thing you're going to get bit by is a Jewish deli. What Don't laugh?
Lou:I get it, I get it and it's not anything bad, but it's true, I know. I know what he's saying 15 bucks for a sandwich, come on.
Mark:That's anywhere now. It's Subway now. Yeah, 15 bucks for a sandwich, yeah.

Now protecting the village from the bandits became like there was, that was for a fistful a few dollars more, not a fistful a few dollars more was kind of that kind of a movie. And then you had High Plains Drifter, kind of that, not Mexican bandits, but like the town gets taken over by the bad guys. But let me see something here. Let me look and see who that is. I'm pretty sure I know Steve McQueen was one of the guys that lived. It was Yul Brynner, I believe. Yeah, yul Brynner, and it was in that. Warren Oates was in that movie. Warren Oates was also in Barney and Clyde. Wow, yeah, he was the brother-in-law or something like that.
