Why do band reunions always seem to come with a hefty price tag? This week's episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, kicking off with some technical hiccups and leading into a heartfelt vent about the financial strain of Ace's reunion tour. With Lou off drumming and Mark standing in, we navigate through the often-hidden motives behind band reunions, all while indulging in some playful jabs about the ever-unreliable drummers. Expect a night filled with candid conversations, a bit of frustration, and plenty of nostalgia to keep things interesting.
Our Vinyl Record Showdown takes center stage as we dive into a spirited game of 45 poker, where legends like Billy Preston, Queen, and Grand Funk Railroad make an appearance. The competitive energy is high as we reminisce about the golden days of vinyl, all while managing some unexpected technical interruptions. The game intensifies with a second round featuring The Three Degrees, setting the stage for a multilingual musical trivia showdown with our returning guest. The laughter and banter are infectious, ensuring an engaging and nostalgic trip down memory lane.
We wrap up with a deep dive into music trivia spanning decades, from Bob Dylan's first electric performance to the tragic tales of grunge icons. Our guest Tiffany Van Hill joins us for an amusing trivia quiz on Emerson, Lake & Palmer, sparking debates and laughter. The trivia train continues as we reminisce about 80s and 90s pop culture, touching on iconic moments like Madonna's near-casting in "Beetlejuice" and the impact of digital film. With personal anecdotes, birthday celebrations, and a hint of mischief, this episode promises a blend of humor, nostalgia, and heartfelt appreciation for the timeless power of music. Buckle up for a wild ride!

Welcome to the podcast. I'm going to try this again. I'm going to try this again. Let's see what happened here. Something happened.
Speaker 1I'm not in a good mood tonight. I'm just not in a good mood. So of course, I have a technical difficulty right off the bat. It's mark smith's fault. So what you're hearing right now is like this is totally unscripted. Mark mark fuck is his name. Again, I am rattled tonight.
Speaker 1I'm not in a good mood. I'm not in a good mood. I'm not in a good mood. I'm not even going to say welcome to the podcast yet. I'm live right now. I don't care, I don't care, you're going to get what you get. You're going to get what I give to you right now. And Mark Smith is going to pay the price tonight because, well, he's the only whipping post around and I'm just waiting. I'm waiting for something. I'm going to do the intro.
Speaker 1But see, the intro wasn't uploaded yet. Of course not, because that's what kind of day this has been. It's been like this for I don't know three days now. Three days now the news came out. The news came out, the big news that you probably heard. The world has heard about it.
Speaker 1I, I wasn't happy. I didn't believe it. I thought it was fake news. No, and I'm not even going to tell you what the news is, because I'm waiting for the intro and you're going to hear the intro whether you like, like it or not. So put up with this. I am pissed. Yeah, that's a laugh of like. I want to, I want to. I'm not going to say I want to kill someone. Nobody wants to do that. You only say that when you're a kid I'll kill you after school. Say that today. Oh boy, that's a whole nother thing. All right, this thing is almost done. I am going to get this intro out of the way and then we're going to talk.
Speaker 1Well, here we are. Episode 158. And on this episode I eat crow. Yeah, so Ace has got back together and I have to buy a ticket for Jack. Good thing Jack's not here. You know who else isn't here. Lou's not here. So I only get one of the wrecking two. It's the wrecking one and I'm not in a good mood. So I am going to torture Mark Smith tonight with trivia questions and hope he doesn't answer any. I'm salty, I'm pissed, I'm mad. I'm going to be out $500, $1,000 because I got to buy a ticket too.
Speaker 1Anyways, enjoy the show. I know I won't. You know what? I don't even want to hear that nice music. I don't even want to hear that music. Okay, that's too uppity. I am not in an upbeat mood tonight. Lou's song is very upbeat. I'm sorry, amanda, thank you for your non-introduction. Welcome to the podcast, welcome back, my friends. I hope this show ends soon. Yes, that's all there is to it. I don't want to be here, but I'm committed. I'm committed to you, the listener, the viewer, and you know what. I'm not even going to play around. You know, mark Smith is here, whoa.
Speaker 3Oh, is somebody having a bad day? Shut up? Oh, I feel for you, buddy. No, you don't, I feel for you. I feel for you, buddy.
Speaker 1No, you don't. I feel for you. No, you know what it feels. My wallet feels. That's what my wallet feels.
Speaker 3Never bet against a reunion. It's money, money talks.
Speaker 1I'm telling you, I knew they were going to refuel no no, I just read something that the Smiths, Morrissey and Maher were offered a lot of money.
Speaker 3And even Morrissey was like well, okay, I'll consider it.
Speaker 1And Johnny Marr said no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, I'm not gonna do it. Yeah, so I would bet against reunions that's because no one wants to work with Morrissey well, he doesn't need them anyway he's about to embark on another sold-out tour of in November, so he doesn't need Marr, but you know if you're getting offered all that money, well, so yeah. So of course, I got the text in the call from Jack and the text was don't look back in anger, shut the fuck up, jack. Shut the fuck. You know what I need?
Speaker 3I need, I just I think I got to drink a lot of wine to get through this show tonight. Yeah, oh, you better Wait, wait, wait. I didn't see something. Lou can't make the show.
Speaker 1No, no, he's a hack. He's a slacker and a hack. He'll be on. No, he won't. Lou's drumming tonight. I got to fill in for somebody. I'm an important drummer. He's probably better off not being. Wait, you just hit the nail on the head drummer. Yeah, that's right on them. Can't count on drummers, that's right. That's why people are getting drum machines. Yeah, exactly exactly. You know what I wish? There'd be a jack machine. This is gonna cost me 500 a thousand dollars for two tickets. Oh, by the way, jack wants to go see them in england next july well, they haven't announced north america yet, so you know jack's I want to go to England, let's go to England.
Speaker 1I'll go to England, let's go to England. So now I've got to buy a plane ticket to England, not for him. No, no, no no Better crowd.
Speaker 3I think it'll be a better crowd.
Speaker 1That's if I can even get tickets. That thing is going to break records. People are coming from all over the world. Well, the tickets go on sale and it's like good luck getting in. Yeah, you know what I mean? It's I don't think I I gotta get up and I gotta do it at four in the morning, saturday morning my son. I don't think I don't think I'm gonna get in and then I won't be able to and jack be like oh yeah, sure, sure. How many shows are they doing? How many what's?
Speaker 3the tour like, oh, they're doing, uh, a couple nights. I think I'm going to get in, and then I won't be able to and Jack will be like, oh yeah, sure, sure you could.
Speaker 1So how many shows are they doing? How many? What's the tour like? Oh, they're doing a couple nights in Wembley. They're doing England, Edinburgh, I mean Ireland, Edinburgh.
Speaker 3Okay, so it's not a one-off show, so you do stand a shot.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1The thing is is the big show yeah?
Speaker 3that's what he wants to go to. I want to go to Wembley. I would think Manchester would be much harder to get, but you got to go to Manchester Etihad Stadium. You don't want to be around city fans.
Speaker 1I don't care. They don't bother me. It's like New Jersey.
Speaker 3Mets fans.
Speaker 1Okay, New Jersey One eye bigger than the other, you know.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, so here we are. I got to deal with Jack, I got to deal with this and I guarantee if I can't get a ticket, if I can't get tickets, he's going to be all. Oh, you did it on purpose. It's not like I can't afford them, it's not like I'm not backing up on a bet. I just think these tickets are going to go like literally in minutes. You can do it, I think you can do it. I hope so, because I don't want to hear him. But if I don't get them for England, then we'll go to see somewhere in America.
Speaker 3Keep an eye open.
Speaker 1There could be those famous pre-sales where you have two chances that you try the pre-sales. Where you have two chances you try the pre-sale. I got logged in for the pre-sale and they said that doesn't guarantee tickets. Okay, yeah, they had this thing and you sign up for it and if you get selected they said you get like you know the pre-sale, but it's not guaranteeing tickets. So I don't know what that means. Yeah, that's not a pre-sale.
Speaker 3Then I guess they have x amount available on the pre-sale yeah, yeah or something, so they don't want to blow everything on the pre-sale. Yeah I don't know man, because you know some people don't get on and yeah, I think I just feel like it. They think about they're going to play nothing but huge stadiums. That's a lot of tickets and I know they'll all sell out, but I think you can.
Speaker 1Yeah, because don't think that you know there's fans and then there's the, the, the second, uh, the second hand ticket people. Oh yeah, they're the ones that get the tickets. Yeah, they're the ones are gonna. So you're battling with fans and you're battling with people that don't give a shit, but they know they're gonna profit off these tickets, so it's, I don't know they should buy a pair and then, if you don't get tickets, you can buy them from me.
Speaker 1I just know I'll be up at 3.30. I'll be sitting in front of my computer at 3.30 in the fucking morning, saturday 3.30. It's a godforsaken hour.

Speaker 1Yeah, yeah. Then that whole thing changed that whole. Uh, how they divided the money. Now, most of the theaters get most of it now.
Speaker 3Yeah, it went back. It goes back and forth, but the theaters are kind of the theaters that's the bottom of the theaters.
Speaker 1Like you need us, yeah exactly. The. It's big chains. You don't have those little. Remember the little theaters you're growing up. They had one in my hometown. Me too. I live a block from an old theater. Yeah, beautiful building still there. It's now it's like a, a daycare place and a gymnastics place, but it was a beautiful, beautiful building and you could walk to see a movie and you walked to see a movie.
Speaker 1Yeah, and you didn't break the bank to see a movie no, mondays and and Tuesdays was dollar movie night because the weekend had already come. They'll start a new movie on, like Wednesday, and nobody goes. Yeah, so Monday and Tuesday everybody has already seen it in this town, yeah, so it's, like you know, okay, dollar movie night. Back then I think the movie was like $2.50. Oh, yeah, to get in.
Speaker 3You know we were bad. We used to chalk the door open at Westwood Movie Theater and sneak in.
Speaker 1The owner did not know that the door was chalked open for a whole week, we'd sneak in. This is how bad AI is. This is how bad it can be. Sometimes it's either really good or it's fucking horrible. Yeah, listen to this one, which 1990s grunge band's lead singer, died of a heroin overdose in 1994, sparking widespread media coverage and conspiracy theories.
Speaker 3Well, lane Stanley died, but it wasn't 94. No, so Kurt Cobain died of a gunshot wound, they said Kurt.
Speaker 1Cobain, that's what AI said.
Speaker 3They said Kurt Cobain died of a drug overdose. What do the tinfoil hat people say about kirk?
Speaker 1coban, who, do they think, killed him.
Speaker 3They think courtney yeah, I look, evil is evil. I just have a hard time believing that I do because he knew he was not a healthy guy psychologically, and she's not evil she's I don't know, she just gets a bad rap.
Speaker 1She was that kind of really rebellious. I love her. I love my dad took me to some of those theaters oh, yeah, you can watch it. Yeah, yeah yeah, my dad took me to some of those theaters. Yeah, we're not talking about those movies, lou no hand cream theaters no, I think.
Speaker 1I think that, uh, courtney love gets a bad rap. Okay, she, she can be an asshole, but she was that. She was the grunge queen, she was rebellious and a drug addict and yeah, hole was a great band. Okay, so the the second album is fucking, live through. This is a fucking amazing album, one of the best albums in the 90s. If you ask me, uh, it's one of those perfect albums. Start to finish. If you've never listened to it, uh, just put down what you think you know about courtney love or what goes on with her. But uh, live through this is a fucking great album, great fucking album. And uh, you know, I think kirk obame probably wrote a lot of those lyrics just like uh one.
Speaker 1That billy was billy corgan billy corgan from the smashing pumpkins wrote you know so there's that, but that's the fucking record industry, right?
Speaker 1yeah yeah, that's what they. I mean, it is what it is. That's that's business, it's not fair, right. But you know, she wrote them and you know what? She was one of the first people, really one of the very first people, to call out Harvey Weinstein Weinstein, and that's what ruined her acting career. He ruined her acting career, but she was fucking right. But they were like oh, that's just Courtney Love. They gaslighted her and you know the big powerhouse, you know miramax, uh, you know, uh, whatever, she was a good actor. She was a good actor. Yeah, she did good. She did good larry flint.
Speaker 1She was great, larry flint yeah, and they fucked her over because she she called out for the truth. You know, yeah, which popular children's cartoon show from the 1980s was originally created to promote a toy line Cabbage.

Wow, that was before the toys. It was created to sell toys so it was like every episode was like an advertisement for them. Yeah, yeah. And then netflix and fucking that idiot uh, what's his name? That did Clerks. What's his name? Kevin Smith. What a fucking woke piece of shit he is. He goes in there and absolutely destroys it, kills He-Man in the first episode. Why do you call it Masters of the Universe? And then they kill He-Man? Oh, and, by the way, they killed Skeletor too. And then they made the women. Does that make them woke? Yeah, because then the women took over and they were the masters of the universe. That's not the fucking cartoon. No, no, you gotta go with the fucking.
Speaker 3I didn't even know he did it.
Speaker 1And it was misleading. Yeah, he said, oh I. He says, oh, I love He-Man. I used was mislead. Yeah, he said, oh I I. He says, oh, I love he man. I used to watch it all the time when I was a kid and then someone finds a clip of him saying I never watched he man, it just wasn't in my uh, wasn't in my thing.

Speaker 1It was fucking like it got brutalized. Dude, it got brutalized and dude it got brutalized. And why do you kill He-Man in the first fucking episode?

Like stephy graff, it just worked for her. You know, she had a honker she got a big old honker she did a big old nose, but it was kind of just worked for her. Sometimes you get those like what's her name? Um, uh, what was her name uh fuck.

Speaker 1um, how was it? No, I forget. And there was this. It was this actress and she was a model too and she like had a gap teeth and she, her face was kind of. She said my eyes aren't aligned, it's just, but it all works. Some name, a movie she was in. I, I can picture her, but I can't, uh, I can't put it together. Well, I'll remember it after the show, not that that matters. Uh, all right, we're getting to the end of this.
Speaker 3This was just technically a filler show yeah, because it's not like we were supposed to celebrate something, me and lou, but it's not going to happen tonight I I know I got to take a little bit of blame for this, because well, all of it because I'm really the producer of the show I have been just really embedded with.
Speaker 1I did a podcast interview today for the vets connection podcast and I was signing a contract for my my fundraiser in november and I've just been doing a lot of like my foundation interviews.
Speaker 3Interviews take everything out of you.
Speaker 1You, you give a lot of energy to those interviews yeah, you have to, you have to be kind and it's they're serious interviews, although this one was pretty funny at the beginning because, okay, let me, let me just take a little break here. People would probably rather hear these stories than these trivia questions, but, um, so I, I have this set up and it's with these uh, it's two people and, like this guy's the executive director of Florida Voices for Health, which is, like you know, they do legislation, you know, they really about improving healthcare in the state of Florida. And you know, and the guy found out about me through somebody I interviewed on another podcast and oh, look at this Fucking, here he comes to save the day, lou, hey, hey hey, what are you doing?
Speaker 1Coming to save the day. Yeah, save the day for me. I left rehearsal early.
Speaker 2I left rehearsal early, just so I could save this show.
Speaker 1Lou is watching. He's like I got to fucking save these motherfucking people, I'm a bad. This is not a well so for the listeners. For the listeners look at Lou. Few was left when you came on, so I don't know what that means.
Speaker 1Patty's still there, of course she says um so we're doing this interview, right, I'm doing this interview, and it's, and it's. You know, they're in northern Florida and this lady, she's a wife of a veteran, she's a veteran, she's a military spouse, she's a veteran, she's like an advocate, she's a writer, nice, nice lady. And so she set up, just kind of, this is how the setup is right, and like about five minutes into the interview, her fucking camera just tanks over, boom it was her iPad and you just see it go fucking up and you hear her go oh, she's grabbing it and it's fucking chaos.
Speaker 1It's a good thing this is an edited interview. You're right, but it just set the tone and then the other dude's mic wasn't working and it ends up. You know, to his computer ends up he goes. Well, I do have a standalone mic like I can. Yeah, just plug your mic in, dude, you know, great interview and everything but uh just shows what can happen in the course of a yeah, yeah in an interview so, and lou, you missed the beginning of this.
Speaker 1My intro wasn't ready and I had to. I vented for like five minutes until the intro was uploaded.
Speaker 3Scott's feeling really hurt tonight. He lost a bet Poor guy.
Speaker 2I know, I know he did and I can't wait till you and Perry treat me to REM when they play, but it won't be England, those tickets aren't going to be that expensive.
Speaker 3Ooh, I heard that one.
Speaker 2As part of your wager, you bought yourself, you and Jack tickets to go to Wembley. Not yet. They go on sale Saturday morning.
Speaker 1Yeah Right, and I had to break the news to my wife that these aren't going to be cheap tickets. I would think I'm wondering, and I said to Mark if I'll even get them. They just Technology Mark's like well, there's so many tickets but there's so many fucking people.
Speaker 2What does?
Speaker 1Wembley hold Like 70,000?.
Speaker 3Don't forget Scott. People will try to get the other shows too. I think a lot of people are going to try to get the Manchester show. That's the homecoming.
Speaker 2Have they scheduled the whole series in cities In Europe? Is it coming to?
Speaker 1America. Then they're going to do a live 25 tour of the United States.
Speaker 3If they make it through, yeah, if they don't kill each other.
Speaker 1No, I think at this point they'll be fine. I think Noel's him and his wife had done. I think she might have been a cog in that machine because Liam dogged her when it was Twitter and I think he saw something there and Noel didn't. Well, they ended up getting divorced and so I think Noel's like you know what, Maybe little brother was right. I don't know, they will. I maybe we'll get the story, maybe we won't and the business behind.
Speaker 1You know, there's some, there's some deep pockets offering some some good, good money to the same money oh, yeah, yeah and now that liam's done with I mean, uh, noel's done with his divorce and everything, and you know um, now my son my son is a no fan.
Speaker 3He loves no. I love them both. Even he admits, though his last couple albums have been yeah, like you know, I'm a bigger liam fan.
Father's Rock and Roll Stories
Speaker 1I love noel gallagher, but I've oh, I like liam. He's got.
Speaker 3Anthony says he's got no spark, there's no nothing original, he's just like retreading on his yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Well, you know, high Flying Birds he wasn't really putting out and he played in the States too. He came over here. See, liam was smart, you got to nurture and grow. Yeah, you know, just conquer your land. You're rich enough as it is. You know, you don't have to travel too far, you live there. You know it's like what the hell to travel too far. You live there. You know it's like what the hell I mean. How many bands in America really go to England Right?
Speaker 2You know, Initially they go there to become successful or to make it like the Stray Cats did.
Speaker 1Yeah, and some of them like Hendrix did. And then you get the bands that stay there that we never know about. You know groups like you know theandy, warhols or tito and tarantula, and you know the brian jonestown massacre. All those bands like they went over there and they're big in europe, like they're bigger and not just thinking like weird parts of europe brian jonestown massacre are not english.
Speaker 3No, I thought they were antoine.
Speaker 1No, no, I'm telling you, watch that fucking documentary, uh, with the, the dandy wall holes and the brian jones hell massacre. Uh, it's one word. I I've sent it to you guys in the past. Yeah, yeah, you will see. The fucking antoine newcomb is a fucking genius he's, but he's fucking crazy too well, that goes hand in hand. Genius manic, like you, you watch that documentary and it's, it's fucking great, like it's, he's just. But then they get in the studio and the dude's like a machine and they do that psychedelic music, which is what I like modern psychedelic. Yeah, I love that shit.
Speaker 1I love that shit like I think space boy nine is one of those bands now that does that stuff and, um, I just love that kind of offbeat psychedelic kind of, but I don't like 60s psychedelic music. That's all. That's the weird part. Oh, I do, I know you do, yeah, yeah, so I that, oh, and so then I find out today that there's this venue around here. I don't want to put them on the spot because it's not their fault, but I was talking to someone. They were like oh yeah, yeah, that show got canceled, like the company canceled it and the venue canceled it. And so I had, I had found out. I said why did they cancel it? Well, it just wasn't selling tickets. I go, do you mind if I ask like what the act was? And they said, yeah, it was a ramones tribute act.
Speaker 3Oh jesus, I was like good, good I think nobody wants to fucking hear the ramones anymore I have a theory that if the Ramones were all alive and they were still together, they wouldn't be selling out.
Speaker 2No, no, well, no, they would have a respectable showing. They would probably. I suppose they would, yeah.
Speaker 1And you know, there's those fucking idiots that jump on it just because it's the Ramones and they think it's the cool thing to like. Because it's the Ramones and they think it's the cool thing to like.
Speaker 3They sell Ramone shirts at Old Navy yeah.
Speaker 1And there's only one of them left to collect the money right.
Speaker 2Was it Tommy.
Speaker 1Is it Tommy or Marky?
Speaker 2It's like the.
Speaker 1Danny Baldwin of the Baldwin family? Okay, the one that does the satellite radio show, and he does one on Sirius. I don't know.
Speaker 3I'm Tommy Ramone. Here's my show.
Speaker 2He produced a Replacements record or two. Oh did he? Yeah, not a great production credit.
Speaker 1Not a great production credit. No.
Speaker 2It gave them some serious punk cred. Have a Ramone producer.
Speaker 1Producer record engineer or whatever. Yeah, yeah, uh, let's see, let me. Let me, let me drop a question in here for a minute.
Speaker 3You guys been talking trivia all night well, yeah well scott hit me with elp trivia and zebra trivia.
Speaker 1I got so long, yeah, and the audience was so interested, but I didn't give a fuck with this episode when I'm when I'm the only one hosting with him, he doesn't give a fuck. No, I know you two got to do this with mark, and I didn't care what the audience was thinking, because you know again. So elp is not like everybody's cup of tea and Zebra is not everybody. But I did it for Mark, I wanted to test Mark, I wanted to see where.
Speaker 2So I sacrificed ratings, sacrificed ratings, and he criticized you. Well, max is.
Speaker 3Walter's son, and he got on.
Speaker 1Now that I'm here, you can put him in the penalty box. You think so? Can I really?
Speaker 3Well, I think I did it earlier, anyways, I did do it anyways, but okay, look.
Speaker 2There you go. Penalty box, there you go. It's just a thing, it's a tradition.
Speaker 1He was. You know, it's like a holiday tradition While you were gone, lou, while you weren't here.
Speaker 2I wasn't just slacking off. I'm not in the penalty box.
Speaker 1No, I'm just going to tell you he was trying to negotiate his own deal.
Speaker 2I'm just being transparent here. While he's in, I appreciate that. While he's in the penalty box, what kind of deal was he trying to negotiate? Was he trying to get?
Speaker 1me out. No, he wanted, like cases of wine delivered Yellowtail, yeah, yellow piss wine.
Speaker 2You just scoop out his toilet before he flushes it, He'll have the same thing. Wakey wakey, Wakey wakey yeah.
Speaker 1He was trying to negotiate his own deal. We'll talk about more off the air.
Speaker 2That's weird, because what happened was the knife handle broke off. But the knife is still in my bag. Exactly that happened to my dad one time. My dad got stabbed and the knife handle broke off. He got stabbed in the ribs and the handle broke off. Oh, Jesus. Wait, I got to wake up for this one. I have the newspaper clip.
Speaker 1My father had it, my father, so his ex ex-wife, his second ex-wife, not my mom. Okay, uh was, she was fucking lunatic, right and uh still is.
Speaker 2I don't know if she's still alive.
Speaker 1There she is, um, so I don't know what was going on in his life at that time I was in, but this is a story. I was told that they had had some sort of falling out and she went and got some fucking guy showed up at their house and was going up, like going up to the second floor and my father fucking meets him in the hallway and the dude pulls out a gun and my father fucking gets beats the dude's ass, takes the gun and like they run out into the street and there was a fucking shot fired. It was just fucking like you can't do that shit today this is the scorches movie.
Speaker 1It was fucking crazy. I was like what he told me the whole story and he was laughing while he was telling me the story like what the fuck?
Speaker 2yeah it's. It's a little random occurrences there.
Speaker 1You know one of the one of the uh, uh, one of the who is it? New kids on the block. They're all from boston, they're all from like dorchester, and so my father beat up one of their fathers he did.
Speaker 3You're part of rock history.
Speaker 1Uh, you could be on vh1 classics, my father has some great fucking stories, man, and he has no reason to lie to us like his kids, you know, especially when he's 90.
Speaker 2I have the newspaper clipping and we had a roller rink and some guy tried to get in drunk and give my mother a hard time. My mother's working in the ticket office, that's a mistake. So my dad threw him out. You know the old wrestler, and the guy sits there and goes. You got a nice smile. My dad turned away and he thought he got punched. And when he felt he felt the knife handle and you know the knife, the blade rather, and the handle. So I said what did you do? He goes. He chased the guy down. So by that time the cops came my dad was kicking him in the head.
Speaker 2Nice, you had another rink I don't think I was even born yet.
Speaker 3Because I went to your rink in Chestnut.
Speaker 2Ridge Road. No, it was much more, slightly more civilized, yeah, when.
Speaker 3I was a little kid, scott. I was going to his father's rink and my pants were ripping while I was skating. But that's another story. I wish I knew you then.
Speaker 1I heard that story, you already told that story. Let me see, let me pull out some. These are all 90s, easy shit.
Speaker 3If I can't get them, lou will get them, maybe not.
Speaker 1I ran out of questions.
Speaker 3I ran out of questions. I want you to hit Lou with REM trivia next week. I want you to hit Lou with REM next week. I want you to hit lou with rem aria.
Speaker 1I don't know yeah, just do it, just do it.
Speaker 3That means I have to do research oh, no, no, no, blue aster called the busy guy blue. I'm a busy guy, all right, I will get blue aster called you get the trivia.
Speaker 1Yeah, you get the trivia. And let lou answer it. Yeah, I don't know if I could do that I don't know.
Speaker 3Chat GDP, blue Easter called trivia. It's good for a lot of things. Trivia questions not so good. There is no trivia for Blue Easter called Put together.
Speaker 1Go to chat GPT, it'll put a fucking nice business plan together for you. But trivia questions, like Lou. One of the questions earlier was what 90s grunge artist overdosed? And there was talk of conspiracy theories and Mark's trying to answer and I said this is the worst question ever and Mark's like well, layne Staley overdosed. But that was later and then I said Kurt Cobain was the answer.
Speaker 2That's when I got home, at that point and I heard the worst question in the history of milk crates and turntables. Yeah, but then I'm like, but also I mean I'm another person that thinks that court um corny love did not kill him you know, we agreed.
Speaker 1I think that that was yeah, that that was.
Speaker 2Now they say he runs in his family, his uncles. He had two uncles commit suicide. Depression runs in the family the question?
Speaker 1I think I think it wasn't that she killed him. The question was, I mean the, the. The theory was she drove him to it, she was there when he did it, she talked him like into doing it like she and then left him there for a while and then, yeah, yeah, that's because you know what it's just like with this.
Speaker 2A lot of kirk cobain fans just hated courtney yeah yeah, she was the budgie bird on the elephant's back there feeding off the, the pleco and then the fish tank I'm a fan of talented on her own. She was the Yoko of grunge. That's what some people were thinking. Well, at least she's got talent.
Speaker 1April Bernard. Everyone say hi to April, april. April's known me since I was like fucking nine. She's brave.
Speaker 2Huh, she's still your friend.
Speaker 1No, April wasn't brave. I don't know April could handle herself back in the day.
Speaker 3You tell me stories about you as a kid, though, yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1I was a good kid when I was little. I was a good kid.
Speaker 2Weren't we all little? We're all good kids when we're little.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, knee high, kne yeah.
Speaker 2Knee high Knee high.
Speaker 1Knee high to a grasshopper, that's it. Great knee high. That was growing up back then where I was.
Speaker 2I counted.
Speaker 1One time there was literally from one street, two streets, three streets. It's like you know, I don't know, in this town it would be like a block right town, it'd be like a block right. There was literally I counted 90 kids. Yeah, because there was families of five, six, seven, three, eleven, four, exactly like all these families had a lot of kids.
Speaker 1Yeah, catholics yeah, good it was like, okay, you counted them but you hung out with your age range. But it was like i'm'm like are you fucking? This is why it was the greatest fucking time.
Speaker 2Well, you know, then what happened was, you know, everyone became so uptight about, I think, about parenting, a lot of ways I mean the kids were, freedom was taken away. I mean I think we're the last free range generation, so you know, we were the baby boomers.
Speaker 1We were the last of the baby boomers. I'm no baby boomer. Yes, you are.
Speaker 2No, I'm not you are Gen X, I don't care about that.
Speaker 1You're Civil War. You're Civil War. You're illogical bullshit.
Speaker 2When were you born? I was born in 61. The end of the baby boomers is 63. And I just saw it today. I forgot what the term was for other generations, but they said Gen X 61 now to 81. I think maybe. No, that's not right. I think of people 15 years older than us.
Speaker 1Yeah, no, gen X in the original term. The name that they called them for a while and I remember this term was called Key Latch Kids, because the boomers were not, they were like they weren't the best parents. They're working all the time.
Speaker 3You're absolutely right. So I had friends in high school when I saw Ferris Bueller's Day Off, remember the kid who hated his father and he ran the engine on the car and it went out the deck. Almost every kid the town that was on the other like I was in Hillsdale, the town Rivervale, Every kid I knew from Rivervale was that kid Perfect they, Every kid I knew from Rivervale. Was that kid Perfect? Yeah, they did. I never met their parents. There was a couple kids.
Speaker 1I never met their parents, but now all my friends, the parents were like ah, parents type deal, you know what I mean. But Baby Boom has ended, I think in 65, I think that's the end of the boom it says yes, gen X starts.
Speaker 2Yeah, end of the boom.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's the Gen X starts. I've seen conflicting.
Speaker 2I've seen something today. Said it the first generation Gen X book. The book was called Generation X. Yeah, they were calling it 61 as the start, but what they're doing now they're separating these generations into cohorts.
Speaker 1It's never going to change. They can't rewrite history.
Speaker 2We're the younger cohorts of Baby Boom.
Speaker 1No, they try to change history. History, it's revisionist history. It's been, it's been the boomers since. Now they come in and they try to change it, like this generation's like. Well, that's not really how it is oh, they know everything.
Speaker 2You can't rewrite everything, you can't stop recreating these generations I think they recreated and bumped it back to 64.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't know, but either way you look at it, it is what it is and you get this generation after us that they were also called baby busters.
Speaker 1Yeah, because they weren't having a lot of kids, like our generation when we got older did not have a lot of kids. And uh, then they came up with gen x and that was based on a book and the guy that wrote the book got it from somebody else. It was called like. This guy called them like, uh, like chapter x or something like that. He called that generation and this guy just put generation in front of it and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But you know, I and I love seeing these things on what's that?
Speaker 2generation, jones, is the generation or social cohort between the baby boom generation and generation x. It's, that's the tail end. Like I don't, I don't. I always thought the baby boom was like they didn't like alternative rock, you know, some of them made it, but the boomers they didn't like old Turner of Rock. Some of them made it, but the boomers that I know were just more I mention because I come from a big family so I've got older siblings that are old enough to be my parents, so to me they're the boomers. I was that little brother. That was kind of weird. You know what? Lou?
Speaker 3That's why.
Speaker 2I identify. I identify as generation X.
Speaker 3I didn't know that, because when I saw Stephanie Miller a couple weeks ago, jesus I thought you liked that, Scott. When I saw Stephanie Miller a couple weeks ago, she came out on stage with this Generation Jones t-shirt. I'm like what the fuck is Generation?
Speaker 1Not buying into all that shit. No, no, I'm not buying into somebody trying to fucking change its revisionist history. Just fucking leave it alone. Hey, it's been baby boomer from this point to this point lose, lose me.
Speaker 3He's with me, he's a generation xer he can go ahead, try to be.
Speaker 1He identifies as one, and, and well, you know what?
Speaker 2oh, by the way, all that shit's going out the window too, if you watch the news all that shit's going out the fucking window too.
Speaker 3They're all like fuck that shit I'm inclusive, I'm accepting lou, and that's that and that is all great enjoy being a generation.
Speaker 1I'm a motherfucking proud boomer. I fucking I am a proud boomer okay, boomer, okay, I'll take it. Okay, I'll take it. Can I quote mark baron boomer?

Speaker 2I wonder if Michael Stipe would consider himself a baby boy.
Speaker 1When was he born? He's just a fucking baby. Well, he's 160.
Speaker 3That's all he is oh.
Speaker 1I saw a video of him recently and they were playing back vocals of the original Losing my Religion, the demo. He said in his very Michael Stipe way I don't really like listening to myself. I just don't. I never liked listening to myself. That monotone face that he has. It was kind of yeah, it's kind of shitty, like the, the, the demo and uh, he, yeah, you can see the uncomfortableness in his face. But he's a pussy.
Speaker 2That's my point I don't, I don't, I don't think he can sing anymore. He's supposed to put out a solo record for a long, long time, but he says I saw it and he goes, I don't sing anymore.
Speaker 3I think being a pussy can make you a good artist. Freddie Mercury wasn't a tough guy, he was a good artist. Rod Stewart's not a tough guy, he's a good artist. We won't go into Morrissey, though.
Speaker 1Doesn't matter Morrissey has to have the AC on no Morrissey, though Doesn't matter, morrissey has to have the AC on no Morrissey. Hey look, he doesn't hide it.
Speaker 3No he's got to have the AC on in the theater. Yeah, and you can't have meat for sale in the venue. I respect Morrissey. I like his attitude. Yeah, no, look at the guy.
Speaker 1He says exactly what he feels and they try to crucify him for it. Oh and, by the way, johnny Ma said one of the reasons we did not become friends is because of our politics. So that's the fucking liberal idiot that will end a friendship because of politics.
Speaker 3I'm in the camp of Johnny Ma.
Speaker 2Was it an ended friendship?
Speaker 1Yeah, he said we moved further apart when I heard his politics.
Speaker 3Why the fuck do you end that friendship because of politics? He said. We moved further apart. When I heard his politics, sounds like Neil Sean and Jonathan Cain. Why the fuck.
Speaker 1Do you end that friendship because of politics? Where's your head?
Speaker 3Never I lost one of my best friends in the world. It just makes no sense. I lost a friend of mine because he wouldn't accept my politics and he stopped talking to me. I'm like dude, we're friends. We're like soulmates, brothers. Don't Don't end a friendship because of politics.
Speaker 1It's unbelievable and it goes on both sides. I'll give it to you. It's both sides.
Speaker 3Yeah, those politics will continue, but you lost a friend. How about not you know? Yeah, this guy won't talk to me and I'm like we were the best friends and he's a great guy yeah, see that makes no sense. No yeah, by the way, that friend was Lou, but I'm not saying anything.
Speaker 1Hey, what was the original name of Radiohead Lubehead Before they changed it in 1991.

Speaker 1I think April agreed with it too that they're always trying to change things. They, they. How about the younger kids? No, yeah, you know what it is, it's not in that. So that particular conversation that we just had about changing, you know, revisionist history, that's not a political conversation. No, it's not.
Speaker 3That's not a political conversation. No, it's not.
Speaker 1That's people coming in trying to establish what they think they know and how they want to see it. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle that's out the window, that's a hallmark. This is an egomaniac saying I did research and I found out. Well, you know what?
Speaker 3Thanks to social media right, they got a platform. But I work in a hospital where half the hospital is younger, like they're in their 30s, and I talked to them and I want to say they're dumb, but they really think they know everything and they won't accept that they're wrong. You know, it's like we know our content, we know our shit, we know history enough like not all of us are I'm not history smart, but and they just they have a, the idea of everything. What is a boomer? They have their idea, they don't know.

Testosterone Level Discussion and Insights
Speaker 1You know what I'm just gonna? I'm just gonna say this because my life's an open book for the most part. When I retired, I was all fucking banged up. I had tendinitis in my forearms from working with the dogs and lifting shit I was, my shoulders were all bad. I couldn't sleep at night like this and just all fucked up. And this went on for a while, for like I don't know a couple years. It's like being a like a retired right. And then I asked my wife, I asked Dr Vera, about testosterone and she's like well, okay, you can try, but you can't, and she's ethical. She's like go get your blood test, we're going to see if you can do it.
Speaker 2She's not this mad scientist like oh, you're married to me, I'll give you anything. She's very ethical. I'm like a Jackson. Yeah, exactly, give you anything.
Speaker 1Yeah, exactly, she's very ethical and she's like okay, let's see. And then she read it. She goes okay, everything looks good. She goes okay, let's do it. And ever since then, since I started testosterone fucking, all the swelling's gone, the 10 like the aches, and the pains all gone so that actually counteracts inflammation, I believe.
Speaker 2So yeah, that's the whole thing. It's all inflammation, all these aches and most of your muscles too.
Speaker 1It actually you know it's it's kind of a reversal thing for men. And then I found out she told me that she, she dives, she does deep dives. She's that she's that person that, like, will just be sitting in the bedroom and all of a sudden I'll hear a little. She's watching a video and it's like some medical stuff, like she really keeps up with everything. And she found out during a deep dive that so they'd say men's testosterone level is like 500. You're good, that's like the low of of good right, you get that from blood tests right yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And then she found out that that number was arbitrary. There was no real science behind it?
Speaker 2there was no research behind it.
Speaker 1It was just a bunch of these doctors got together and just kind of agreed yeah, it's in general we see around 500 and they just made the number 500. But what they don't realize, it's like when I was in the air force, when you were 510, you had to be 100 and, like I don't know, 90 pounds. That's like the max. You could be at 510. That's impossible. And the doctor told me while I was there that you know because? Then I put on muscle weight and they were like, yeah, yeah, you're on, you're going to be the fat boy program and I was like what?
Speaker 1Like if you see pictures of me back then you'd never know it. And this doctor I went to him, he goes, it's those old insurance standards, like yeah, it's impossible for everybody, that's five, 10. And if some of guys did that in the military, so these standard of 500 count, you know, testosterone it's fucking arbitrary, yeah, but it became the standard, yeah, and and that's that like in, so that's starting to change. She doesn't treat it like that. She says everybody's different, everybody has different levels. You could, you could, get testosterone count can be 800 and you're still kind of tired, you know.
Speaker 2So when I worked when I worked for whole foods they would take a blood test. You know if you had really good, if you were very healthy, got a higher discount, um. But they knocked me down because I'm 5, 8, but I'm right, I'm 190 pounds. I look thin on camera. I'm really not. I'm not. I'm not obese, but I look awesome. Lou gets the reverse on camera.
Speaker 1I do. I put 10 pounds on, lou looks 10 pounds lighter.
Speaker 2They knocked me down because they said I was too heavy. But I'm not really heavy. I'm not heavy for my frame. It's that kind of thing. You have a different frame, your bones, the whole thing.
Speaker 1Yeah, when you start dealing with insurance companies, that's good and whoever, good luck with that.
Speaker 2I'll give you a question what animal on Earth, what creature on Earth the oceans, the land, everything in the sky has the most testosterone?
Speaker 1What A rabbit.
Speaker 2Rats, rats, the bull shark. Ah okay, the bull shark is all aggression. Robin Kirkman.
Speaker 1Mine is 60.
Speaker 260 testosterone count aggression Minus 60. Minus 60.
Speaker 1His chest hair fell out. His testosterone count is 60.
Speaker 2He has more estrogen than testosterone, I think. Oh, that's hilarious.
Speaker 1Get me some help. What a great way to end the show. Good one, buddy.
Speaker 3Good one, I'm a sloth. I gotta find out my, my level but I'll tell you what it.
Speaker 1It made a fucking world of difference with me, energy wise, and you know a lot of things. The aches and pains went away and uh, yeah, it's, you know. But you also have to give blood every um, every like eight weeks, okay, because what happens is your blood starts to thicken, and that's what a lot of people don't. They don't think of that. They're like ah, the doctor will tell you, give blood If you're taking it on a regular basis, give blood every eight weeks. Yeah, you know, and that just keeps you healthy. Yeah, thin the herd. Yeah, the herd is thinning, buddy, we're at that age. But anyways, gentlemen, as usual, thank you for your time, thank you for your knowledge of Lou, my friend.
