Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a HeadGum Podcast. some markets for a limited time only. ["Fantasy Everything Theme Song"] Welcome to another brand new episode of all fantasy everything, the podcast, the fantasy draftss anything and everything from the world of popular culture. On today's episode, we are drafting 80s power balance. Yeah. Our guests today, Jason and Randy Scalar,

Starting point is 00:00:59 the Scalar brothers, our dear friends. Love you guys. Wonderful comedians. I mean. Sometimes actors. Always classy. Thank you. Love you guys. Wonderful comedians. I mean. Sometimes actors. Always classy. Thank you. Thank you.

Starting point is 00:01:12 I would say, I would say, Cloth Horses. Yes, god damn. That style icons. Love them. Clothes, horse. The people who introduced me to stag provisions in Austin, Texas. Let me apologize to your wife.

Starting point is 00:01:24 There's definitely like three or four things she wanted but can't get now because you've overspent the budget. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We've already, we have a kid now, and we've already moved like the colleges. I'm like, the Ivy League is, unless this kid is like, got a golden arm, that's out. So the kid's not in a stroller,

Starting point is 00:01:42 you just stole a shopping cart from a nearby Albertson's. It's an Albertson's shopping cart, and it does have the wheel lock on it. So I really gotta put my back into it. Yeah, did you break it? When I wanna take that kid for a walk. Yeah. We can only go.

Starting point is 00:01:51 You're breaking Albertson. We can only go left with him. Yeah. Just little circles in the backyard. That's right. You wanna hear something? Can I say something? Say something.

Starting point is 00:02:02 I know you're in the middle of the intro. Oh my God, Sean. My wife's great grandmother would not turn left in a car. What? Can you believe that? She would not turn left in a car. I buy that. We lost Jason.

Starting point is 00:02:15 We lost it. Jay's like, I can't handle that. I can't handle the fact that your wife's not. Can you even fathom not doing that? Yes. What do you mean? She would not take a left in a car. She would not take a left ever in a car.

Starting point is 00:02:28 Maybe in the driveway. Is this like a riddle where she never drove? Oh no. No. How did she take another riddle? The general was telling me the other day, she's like with Zoolander, she would take to get some,

Starting point is 00:02:39 she had routes to get places. To go around and only make right turns. She's like the best script ever. Only right turns, guys. Only right turns. She saves the cat too. Yeah, exactly. I just, I couldn't, I did the same thing you guys are doing to me to him.

Starting point is 00:02:53 Yeah, she just wouldn't take a left turn, ever. Yeah, I mean, that's, I understand the trepidation, especially if you're not a confident driver. Like you just- Good word. The truth, thank you, confident. The truth is that like you have to drive certainly in LA, like you're a New York city cab driver, which is just like, make the move and everybody's got to deal with it. You know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:03:14 Just make it and people will adjust. And that's pretty much the way I live my life. Make the move and let everybody deal with it. Exactly. People, the world is supple. Yeah, they can do other, they'll adjust. Everybody will adjust. But that left turn, because you have to every once in a while make a dicey left turn. You gotta, there's like not enough room and you gotta get there.

Starting point is 00:03:36 I prefer it. I prefer a dicey left turn. You gotta get to your spot. It's like getting to your spot on the court. I'm hugging, I'm hugging on the back of that like bumper in front of me on some of those left turns where I'm like, we're just one long car. We're like one of those buses that has an accordion in the middle.

Starting point is 00:03:49 Think of us like that. Human centipedes, so to speak. I'll cut the corner. So if sometimes at an arrow, the car will take a wide turn and I'll just cut the corner. To beat them to the spot. I'll be like next to them almost at an arrow and then I'll let them ease back in front of me.

Starting point is 00:04:04 But just to prove a point where I'm like, you could take a tighter turn. You're teaching people lessons. Jason's going to the neighbors. You're teaching people lessons, Sean, and I like that on the road. Well, Sean didn't mention is that he drives the number three car.

Starting point is 00:04:19 He's the intimidator out there. Yeah, so he's out there trading pain. I'm a gravedigger driver, I'm one of the six. That's great. I remember the Gravedigger, do you remember from the truck and tractor pulls, the Gravedigger, that was my favorite thing. We heard a commercial for the Gravedigger and they just were espousing how great it is, all the things that the Gravedigger does.

Starting point is 00:04:41 And really what the Gravedigger does is it jumps cars and it drives over cars. And after that, you're done with all the things that the Gravedigger does and really what the Gravedigger does is it jumps cars and it drives over cars. And after that, you're done with all the things that the Gravedigger can do. So they- It can do back flips. Oh, it can do back flips. Watch your mouth. I'm sorry, it can do back flips.

Starting point is 00:04:52 Oh, roll your eyes at the- Post back flips. Yeah, show me something new. Jason keeps freezing. I'm trying to reset to the best place. In precarious positions. We don't need him. Post back flips, they just had more commercial to fill.

Starting point is 00:05:08 So it was just like, the gravedigger, he's gonna dig your grave. He's gonna put you in it after he digs your grave. It's like, guys, there's three things. He jumps, he runs over and he can do a backflip. The gravedigger will hold a respectful service done in the tenor of your family's choosing. But first he's gonna dig your grave, cause he's the Grave Digger.

Starting point is 00:05:31 He will bake a coogle and bring it over three days after your family member has died. He'll set up chairs and a large picture of the deceased before he digs your grave. picture of the deceased before he digs your grave. The Grave Digger will apply a heavy layer of makeup to your deceased great-grandmother, giving her a sort of, making stylistic choices that she never made in her waking life. The Grave Digger comes with his own formaldehyde because he's going to dig your grave.

Starting point is 00:06:00 And backflips. And backflips. Now you guys are huge Ballers fans, right? Yeah, sure. Yeah. Because you know, there is an episode where The Rock convinces the mayor of Las Vegas, Sean, I'm getting this right, to let him bring the Raiders there. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:19 Because he flips a monster truck. Yeah. Is that right? That's right, right? Oh yeah. And then what, look at where the Raiders are. Well, Rock that right? That's right. Oh yeah. And then what, look at where the raiders are. Well, Rockster Domus got them there. He predicted it.

Starting point is 00:06:29 I mean, the truth is, like, I haven't seen a, not since the movie Over the Top, where they're arm wrestling, he's arm wrestling for custody of his child. Like that to me was way bigger than you're winning a truck. It was like, oh, I get to arm wrestle for the custody of, what court, in what court of law is that sort of supported? That to me was way bigger than you're winning a truck. It was like, oh, I get to arm wrestle for the custody. What court, in what court of law is that sort of supported?

Starting point is 00:06:48 Lincoln Hawks Court. Apparently, I guess so. But that feels like a South Dakota thing. The premise was a little over the top. You mean when he drove into Robert Lozier's living room with his termite and took the kid back? You think that was over the top? No.

Starting point is 00:07:03 Here's the thing about arm wrestling for custody, is the types of dudes who would do that, the loser gets custody. That's right. Right, hey, that's the answer to your question. If you're arm wrestling for custody over your kid, you've lost the kid. Well, the stakes are,

Starting point is 00:07:21 if you lose that arm wrestling match, you gotta take this kid, I'm sorry, man. It's like whoever wins. Oh he doesn't want the kid, he doesn't want the kid. Arm wrestling you for. As a person you're a consolation prize, that's a bad spot to be in. That's right, well I've been in that relationship wise,

Starting point is 00:07:38 it's not so bad, you know. What's that Sean? I was gonna ask who would win in an arm wrestling match between you two. Oh my God. I think I would like to face those two twins that are now going viral for talking at the exact same time in Australia

Starting point is 00:07:55 because their mom got held up. I mean, that is the craziest video. You know what I'm talking about? Please tell me those come across your feet. Oh my God. Two women probably, I mean, if you told me they were 60, I'd agree with you, and they're wearing the exact same shirt, which was a huge surprise to me,

Starting point is 00:08:13 to see them both in the exact same shirt. Speaking, telling the story of how they're, literally something that just happened, how their mom got held up and then the guy carjacked, she got, went into a bush, and then the guy carjacked, she got went into a bush and they're running the other direction and they literally were saying it at the exact same time and I'm like, is this what people think our comedy is?

Starting point is 00:08:33 So I definitely think that's what people who don't like us think that's what our comedy is for sure. They just talk at the same time. I like the idea of sclera haters out there. Like there's a small but vibrant community of dudes who just like got out for you guys. That's crazy. I just like that you made it small.

Starting point is 00:08:51 That to me means you love us. That was respect. Respect. I can't imagine a large group of people are aware of your presence. You want the haters. I got your ass. I got your ass.

Starting point is 00:09:00 Like that hurts. No, I'm joking. I'm joking. Look at that back door nail. I'm joking. You know me, I'm a big fan. You know what you just did right there? You dug our grave. I dug your grave!

Starting point is 00:09:14 I'm about to do a back flip. Our guests today are the hilarious and wonderful and just a delight, the Sklar brothers are here, Jason and Randy. Thank you. Sean Jordan is here as well, Sean Patrick Jordan, Wonderful, and just a delight, the Sklar brothers are here, Jason and Randy. So happy to be here. Thank you for having us. Sean Jordan is here as well, Sean Patrick Jordan,

Starting point is 00:09:28 Sean Cougar Melon Jordan on Instagram. Sean, where can people see you doing comedy stuff? The Toledano Street Comedy Festival, New Orleans, in three weeks, I think. Three weeks time? Come see us, it's going to be. We were just there, is that just there. I love it there. Sports drink.

Starting point is 00:09:46 Andrew just does it right, man. It's seriously, it's just such a great club. I love that club. We were just there last Wednesday. I saw that clip of you guys saying, we're coming to you live from inside Tim Tebow's asshole. And then I said, no, this is Drew Brees' vagina. And,

Starting point is 00:10:01 This is Drew Brees' vagina. And... And... And, uh... It is, that is the tightest, most fun little room ever, and I love Andrew Stevens, who runs that room, and all the other comics. Like, we went out with all the comics from the scene

Starting point is 00:10:20 and then went to go do karaoke at Cajun's, and it was, it was so fun. It's such a, like, mix. It's a mix of black and white comedians that is like so organic. Like just everybody was just hanging out. I just loved it. I'm like, this scene is really making me happy. And we just, we're like, I know we gotta get, catch an early flight tomorrow, but we're hanging out late.

Starting point is 00:10:39 You know, you know those moments where like, I got some tomorrow and we're gotta be on a little bit tomorrow, but we're going at, we're in for this night. I can be tired in LA if I get to be awake in New Orleans a little bit longer. Oh, hell yes, hell yes. Yes, we're diggin' our own graves.

Starting point is 00:10:56 And we got to play, and late night in New Orleans, you get to play your, anytime you see a guy walking funny, you get to play the game drunk or limping. Drunk or injured. Drunk or injured. Drunk or injured. Is he injured because he's drunk? Is he drunk because he's injured? Right. Is this gout or is he doing the thing that will eventually give him gout?

Starting point is 00:11:15 It's one or the other. Which came first, the gout or the leg? Yeah. Wait, so the best thing we ever saw in New Orleans, because everyone has a side hustle, I can't believe we didn't say it till this joke on stage. It was the, we went to like a regular hotel,

Starting point is 00:11:31 like a legit like a full- Like a double tree. Double tree, Marriott, whatever it was, in like near Canal Street. We were staying there years ago for this like VH1 thing we did. We go to check in and the guy at the front desk, who's like checking us in, and it was not really a front desk, it was like a podium so like we could see the side of

Starting point is 00:11:50 it. He's like, you guys want a beer? And we're like, yeah. We're thinking like this is New Orleans version of the warm cookie. Yeah. It slides you a beer. And the guy, the guy who works at the front desk kicks over a cooler and opens it up and is like, three bucks. We're like, are you allowed to do... There's a bar 20 feet behind us.

Starting point is 00:12:17 Do they know that you're doing this? You working for the hotel, but also trying to sell us a $3 beer. We're like... His own merch. We looked at him and we were like, yeah, here's three bucks. You working for the hotel, but also trying to sell us a $3 beer. We're like- His own merch. We looked at him and we were like, yeah, here's three bucks. Yeah, absolutely.

Starting point is 00:12:30 He opened it with a baby alligator and then handed it to you. Yeah. You know, he opened it by banging it on the counter of the reject. And really ripping the wood off the top of the front desk counter. Bon temblé roulet.

Starting point is 00:12:46 Say that after anything and it makes sense. Perfect. Where can people see you guys? Together, separately, however you want to unspool the information. So we do this wonderful show, Tag It, which we're doing tomorrow night, but we're doing as we're recording this,

Starting point is 00:13:01 where our friends do their wonderful sets of comedy and Jay and I are onstage writing tags that we then, which are jokes on jokes, that we then pitch to our friends. We just did it at Moon Tower. We did it with Maria Bamford, Janine Garofalo, and Casey Rocket all on the same show. It was... It was really fun and super challenging.

Starting point is 00:13:19 You just have to be in it, but as we are all writers, we love to write. I mean, it's like, this is the joy of writing jokes for your friends. And we always do this anyway. I'm sure you guys do this in green rooms everywhere. Someone comes out and says, you're like, oh my God, this bit that you're doing, I love this so much. Have you ever thought of doing this? And we've gotten and given so many great bits. So we're doing that every month. We're doing it on May 21st.

Starting point is 00:13:43 And it's going to be a, that's going gonna be a banger at the store in the main room with Jay Moore and Dulce Sloan and just a bunch of other really great people on that show. Amazing. And then in, Sean, I can't believe you didn't say this, but in June, we're kinda going on the road with you. I'm so excited. We're doing a little Northwest jaunt

Starting point is 00:14:01 that is getting finalized as we speak. But I can mention on here, on Wednesday the 18th, we're doing the Polaris room, which we've never done. The 18th of June. The 18th of June. Polaris. So Moshe Kasher just did that room this past Sunday and he said it was, I mean, he was excited.

Starting point is 00:14:16 He sold it out before he even got there, which is awesome. So we're going to do that on Wednesday, the 18th of June. Then the 19th, we go up to Bellingham. We're going to make a road trip with Sean Jordan. Go to Bellingham and do a show and hopefully we'll sell it out and do another one. And then we go to Chehalis. Chehalis?

Starting point is 00:14:31 To do the theater at Chehalis. Wow, Chehalia. Chehalia, and then we go up to Everett and historic Everett Theater on, so that's the 18th in Portland and Polaris, 19th in Bellingham. We're kind of driving all over the place. Back down to Shaye.

Starting point is 00:14:48 Hopping in the Crip Whip, baby. Right time of year for it too. Right time of year. It's gonna be, well, June, it could be gloomy, but it could be absolutely lovely. Now with me in the car. Come on out, we're gonna have fun. And we're gonna listen to our,

Starting point is 00:14:59 we should each make a power ballad playlist, Sean, and then we each get to sort of debut it or put it out there on each leg of this trip. What is this, some sort of a tour of a local culture municipality? Because that was a beautiful segue. Thank you, that's what I like to do, is keep us on track.

Starting point is 00:15:19 Randy knows how podcasts work. I do. That's right. My name is Ian Carmel, at Ian Carmel on, you know, all those social media things. Come see us in New Orleans. That's what I have to promote. Watch my special, Comfort Beyond God's Foresight, available on YouTube right now.

Starting point is 00:15:35 So good. Great special. I'm coming to Portland, Oregon, speaking of performing with Sean Jordan on one of those nights, June, June 13th and 14th, I will be at Kickstand Comedy Theater for two nights only. It fits 70 people each. These shows are gonna sell out real, real fast. Hopefully they haven't sold out already.

Starting point is 00:15:56 It's all brand new material. Coming in with a notebook full of ideas and just running through it. Sean Jordan? Is it, so we are doing stuff we've never tried. Never tried. So I'm gonna do- Or you've tried it like once or twice, but this is stuff-

Starting point is 00:16:10 Tried it out on Laura in the living room, but never in front of a crowd. Maybe once in front of a crowd. She didn't know I was doing a bit. Maybe like stumble through it in an open mic, but this is all brand new shit. Notebook full of ideas, stomach full of cum tour. I'm so excited about this.

Starting point is 00:16:22 That's what I did. Hi. Sirad Stewart tour. Can't lose. Can't lose. You're all. I'm having trouble connecting those dots. I like hearing funny things like that.

Starting point is 00:16:31 We just don't know how we got there. Both of you guys are opening up the American songbook, which I really think is nice that you're going back to the old standard. I regurgitate when you are gone but not forgotten. Putting your spin on it. Putting your spin on it. Putting your spin on it.

Starting point is 00:16:47 We're gonna take turns tickling the ivories and that's why we have tummies full of cum. I will bring my glowing nunchucks. And we can shut all the lights off. Yes. Come on, will we, Chuck? It's gonna be a real fun dumb time. So come check those out.

Starting point is 00:17:06 Hopefully there's still some tickets available. Uh, that's about it! We're here for a reason, and it's not to talk about glowing nunchucks. Our little tummy tummies. Uh, it is! The Fantasy Draft Power Balance. Power Balance.

Starting point is 00:17:22 We're gonna get into it. The definition of this. That's why I was gonna ask, did you read the defi? Murky. It's murky. It's murky. I think we all maybe have our own separate definitions. I made my list and then I looked at other people's lists on the internet of power ballads.

Starting point is 00:17:39 And I saw some stuff where I was like, well, that's not a power ballad. That ain't no power ballad. If I've never heard of it, it can't be that powerful. I saw some lists from I was like, well that, that's not a power ballad. That ain't no power ballad. If I've never heard of it, it can't be that powerful. I saw some lists from like, I don't, there's 20 songs I've never heard on the radio. Sean, you have to say it like Jeff Foxworthy. If I've never heard of it, it's not a power ballad.

Starting point is 00:17:59 If I haven't heard of your power ballad, it must not be that powerful. It ain't no power ballad. I turn to Shane Torres when I do Jeff Fox where they, I love it. We're gonna get into that. Listen, we can hold court on some of these picks. Right. Sure.

Starting point is 00:18:16 If somebody wants to pull a yellow card and say, I don't think that's a power ballad, we can have that discussion on any of these, okay? A yellow card wasn't a band until the early O's. If anybody wants to start singing Ocean Avenue Ballot by the Santa Monica Pier Let's go the way we determine the order of this draft is through a rollicking game of rock paper scissors Play between the three of you and we throw on shoot. Here we go

Starting point is 00:18:39 Rock paper scissors shoot. Oh No, three different ones. Here we go again. We're playing it back rock paper, shoot. Oh no. Wow, three different ones. Here we go again, we're playing it back. Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Oh, Jason wins a rock against two scissors, a natural victory. Jason, as the winner of rock, paper, scissors, it is incumbent upon you to determine the order of today's draft.

Starting point is 00:18:57 But before you do that, I wanna remind you, it is a serpentine draft. I'll let you know what that is. It's like when you're walking up the stairs in an apartment building in New York City. Oh, okay. Bam, bam, bam. Basically if you pick fourth in the first round,

Starting point is 00:19:11 you pick first in the second round. Now, Jason, with that in mind, what will the order of today's draft be? It will be me first, because I would like to go first. It will be Sean Jordan second. I like that. Me third and then Ian fourth, okay. Ian Carmel on the hot corner going fourth.

Starting point is 00:19:28 That's great, that's exactly where I wanna be. I don't mind. Second's exactly where I wanna be. That's all right. You got the four or five slot. I got the turn. Well there we have it, the order today. It's Jason, Sean, Randy, Ian,

Starting point is 00:19:38 and we are going to get to the first power ballad pick right after this short break. This episode of All Fantasy Everything is brought to you by DraftKings.

We are about to make the first pick, that first pick belongs to Jason Sklar, who is wearing, if you're only listening to this, an absolute vision of a teal quarter zip. It's perfect. It is a fuzzy, soft green, almost feels inside out,

Starting point is 00:23:57 the way it's being worn, and I love it. It feels like Kermit the Frog's vagina, folks. I, I, why? That is wild. That is wild. Talk about, all right, talk about Mr. Piggy. Go ahead. It's a little easier being green when you hear that.

Starting point is 00:24:28 So look, we can debate what is or what isn't. I think this one, my first pick clearly falls within the power ballad range. I'm going with Scorpions and it's not the Scorpions. It's Scorpions winds of change. A political song. 90s. 90s.

Starting point is 00:24:50 Yep. That's a 90s song? I looked it up. Now this is why I asked last night. This is why I asked last night because we, if we gotta keep it tight. All right. Look, double check, double check.

Starting point is 00:25:01 I'm double checking. I'm in the, oh, I'm in the 1990. I love that song. I love that song. I was nine. I mean, it was big. Oh, okay, oh, oh wait, no, you know what? Yeah, it couldn't have been 89

Starting point is 00:25:12 unless they wrote it literally on the Berlin Wall. I mean, the whole point is that the wall came down. All right, so I started with a bet. All right, so. No, it's an amazing pick, and now I feel like, I shouldn't have done that. No, it's not, in fact, it is not a pick. It's not a pick. You should lose. All right, so. No, it's an amazing pick. And now I feel like, I shouldn't have done that. In fact, it is not a pick. It's not a pick.

Starting point is 00:25:26 You shouldn't lose your pick. Now what is the ruling here, Ian and Sean? Shouldn't he lose his pick for making that pick? Oh, that's never happened. I don't think. That would be crazy. We've never done that. It's a warm and forgiving podcast,

Starting point is 00:25:40 you know, all fantasy, everything for the most part. But. Get a mole again. So you get a mole and you get one. I'm gonna go with Sister Christian. Yeah. That is known, that is a fact. As a Jew, I have to pick that.

Starting point is 00:25:53 Mm-hmm. Sort of like taking the power back. Yeah, that's right. I do have a son in Catholic high school, so I feel like that gives me the right to say Sister Christian. That's right. Wait, does that talk about something I didn't know? What I love about that song me the right to say Sister Christian. That's right. Wait, does that talk about something I didn't know?

Starting point is 00:26:05 The drummer is singing. People don't remember that about Night Ranger. Drummer sings that song. Yeah. That is. Don't tell me you love me, right? I believe he's singing. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:17 Which one of them was in Damn Yankees? Didn't one of the Night Ranger guys go to Damn Yankee? The lead singer went, who kind of looks like Tommy Shaw from Sticks. Yeah. My mom will talk to you about Tommy Shaw. Anyway, we're never done with what we're talking about. This is one of the great tropes of power ballads

Starting point is 00:26:33 is that, you know, starts off real, real slow usually, real placid, kind of syrupy, and then punches you right in the face. That's where the power comes from. This one is one of the most pronounced jumps. It's a full blown like stylistic change to the song. Totally, and then I like that in the end, even though he's drumming, he hits his last beats,

Starting point is 00:26:57 puts the drumsticks away, and he's like, let me do my job as a singer. Yeah, excuse me, I have another job to do here. It's time to put childish things away. I mean, I've already. I've already put my toys down. I've already dug your grave. Now it's time for me to hand out the programs.

Starting point is 00:27:13 It's a very clear first choice to me. This was easily going to be the first pick. I'm very excited to win first. Really? Okay. Oh yeah. In most leagues, that's going to be, it's the Christian McCaffrey of power ballads. It's the sister Christian McCaffrey of Christian McCaffrey.

Starting point is 00:27:31 She can do it all. The what's your price for flight lyric. When you've had like six drinks and that comes on at a bar, how much fun is it to sing? What's your price for flight? And I do the point, the way up high point, you can't even see it, just the way up high point into someone way across the bar, they get it, you know?

Starting point is 00:27:50 They're pointing back at you. And then he brings you back down so comfortably, you'll be all right. Uh-huh, tonight. Tonight, tonight. Like there's a pause and then it's like, you'll be all right, maybe not forever, but for tonight you're gonna be all right.

Starting point is 00:28:05 I mean, and this is my question. There's a little danger in there. Doesn't Night Ranger need money enough that Expedia couldn't like steal that, you know, that portion of that song and just make it a commercial? Like it's time to sort of get these guys paid. It's crazy that there hasn't been

Starting point is 00:28:20 a what's your price for flight with like the guys from Night Ranger. Priceline.com, right? Priceline.com. I'm just get them. You're welcome, let's go shoot that commercial, you're welcome. Like the one with the tag team, you know, in the kitchen, like Scoop, there it is.

Starting point is 00:28:34 Why haven't we gotten the Sister Christians hanging out in your living room? What's your price for flight? You're talking about Quad City DJs. Was that the Quad City DJs? I think it was Scoop, there it is, right? Oh yeah, was that the- Quad City DJs. No, that was the Quad City DJs, come on ride that Scoop, there it is, right? Oh yeah, was that the...

Starting point is 00:28:45 Quad City DJs, come on ride that train. Come on ride that train and ride it. Scoop, there it is is another... Maybe they're not ready to have it be a joke yet. You know, maybe they still think it's a very serious song. I was chaperoning my daughter's fifth grade trip to Yosemite, and I was watching other kids. Like, I wasn't even allowed to be like in a group.

Starting point is 00:29:03 And I was responsible for a group of four young men in their cabin. And I was like, we got to come up with a name for the cabin. There's four of you. And they were trying to pitch some names. And I'm like, you know what? You're the Quad City DJs. That's great. Anytime I say Quad City DJs, you guys go like this and I'll see you. And that was their name for the whole time. So I was fully aware that whoop, there it is is it's not Quad City TG. All right. I'll tell you this, Night Rangers would have also been a great name for that cabin.

Starting point is 00:29:31 Fantastic. Night Rangers. You guys have no curfew. Night Rangers. You have no curfew. The Night Rangers. Night Rangers is a great name for a band. Oh brother. Because it doesn't mean anything. No. Sounds dope though.

Starting point is 00:29:42 If you do a lot of coke, it means something. I mean, if your best name, let's come up with it right now. I mean, I think we all know what it's gonna be. If you're in a Night Ranger cover band, you're Day Rangers. You're Day Rangers. Day Rangers.

Starting point is 00:29:52 Midnight Ranger. We mostly play barbecues. That's kind of where we make our bread is bar. Barbecues in quinceaneras, that's what we do. Yeah. The Latino community in LA just found out about Sister Christian. That's right.

Starting point is 00:30:08 I love Night Ranger and Morrissey, that's it. Yeah. Yeah. Goes well with a bouncy hut. Sean, you know what else goes well with a bouncy hut? Pick number two? Is it my first pick? It's your first pick, bro.

Starting point is 00:30:19 Come on. I do have to say best use in a movie out of most of these songs was Sister Christian. Then in Boogie Nights. Oh, yes.ogie Nights, The Firecrackers seemed phenomenal. Oh my God, that scene is insane. Motorin. Phenomenal. Yeah, okay.

Starting point is 00:30:33 So that definitely was my first pick. This to me was a very clear second pick. To me, I'm going to go Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue. It's a great one. It's a great one. Okay. Yeah. You know, I'm a go Home Sweet Home by Motley Crue. It's a great one. It's a great one. Okay. Yeah. You know, I'm a dreamer.

Starting point is 00:30:47 I love, I love that song. And another good use in a movie with Rob Cordray in Hot Tub Time Machine. He does like the fake throw the drumsticks in the air. Also, one of the tastiest licks in a ballad. It's got, Whee! It's got that like,

Starting point is 00:31:03 you know when a guitar player's like, hey, can I get a guitar player's like, hey, can I get a little raunchy real quick? They say raunchy. Let me turn it up. Tonight, tonight, I'm on my way. And the video, it's just, you watch the video and you're like, they're not so bad.

Starting point is 00:31:19 They're all. No, there's the sweat dripping off them as they slow motion all three of them go forward into the crowd. That is such a pivotal... Right. Forward and back. I wonder who did that first. There has to be a way to figure out who was the first. Like, I feel like I saw ZZ Top doing that early.

Starting point is 00:31:37 ZZ Top was all about the guitar spin. That was it. It's like, we've got... Beards like Hasidic rabbis were gonna spin the guitars, and that's how we do it. Whenever Randy and I see two guys with long beards and I see each other, we always call them ZZ Bottom. ZZ Bottom. What do you guys? You guys are opening a restaurant called ZZ Tapas, right?

Starting point is 00:31:56 What, just a little small place? We got a ZZ Four top over there that needs cleaning off and then we can sit you guys down. ZZ Tapas, it's great. And everything is just like, you know, everything. Wine bar. Ah. Just Toppaz gets it around.

Starting point is 00:32:15 Sorry I got my beard in your Toppaz. But it's just- But Hannah, you did agree to eat at a place called ZZ Toppaz. It's just part of the deal. Sorry I got my beard in your mini chili- What's that, I have chili-ch the deal. So I got my beard in your mini chili... What's that? I have chili-chili sauce on the tip of my beard?

Starting point is 00:32:28 Home Sweet Home, is the video for this a tour video? Yeah. Yeah. It is, dude. Yeah. By the way, the piano riff, not hard to learn. Like even I know that, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Think of one of the songs you learned. Isaac cut all that out. Isaac leave it in. Isaac cut that and leave it in? Yeah, I'm gonna leave it all in.

Starting point is 00:33:07 Leave it all in, dude. All right, Isaac, go ahead and fuck yourself. Go ahead and fuck yourself. Play a little piano, kill those divers. Yeah, I'll go fuck myself. Did you learn winds of change or was that from the 90s? Why you gotta bring up old shit? That's right, come on.

Starting point is 00:33:19 For new shit, it's too new, it's not old enough. It's too new, it's too old enough. Who knew it's too new? Ian, you crinkled your brow a little bit when I said home sweet home, you're not sold that it's like a ballad ballad? No, this is a ballad. 100%.

Starting point is 00:33:34 To me, it's not a first round ballad for me, but that's what's so beautiful about this craft. The crew can get it every day, twice on Sunday from me. I love Motley Crue, it's the show I would go see, if I could go see any show ever in history, I'd go see Motley Crue on the Dr. Pilger tour. I just love where Vince Neil is now in his life. He's doing growth.

Starting point is 00:33:54 He looks great, hanging a lot with Nick Cage in Vegas. The hounds great, like his voice has maintained itself. You know those things. Like Bob Dylan is like, what are you doing man? You can tell he's doing a lot of cardio because he's never had a breath of it. Those videos are just incredible when they actually try and transcribe what he's saying.

Starting point is 00:34:16 Even AI's like, I don't know, man. Yeah. Like, I should have a piece of broccoli. He for sure doesn't sound like when a fork gets stuck in your garbage disposal. Oh my god, you step on chihuahua. Jesus, what was that sound? But I do think this nails, I mean, both of the first picks,

Starting point is 00:34:35 one of the fundamental tenets of the power ballad, to me, is it's a guy you don't, it's like, you gotta, the tougher the guy, the sweeter the syrup, when they finally get into the power ballad of it, right? That contrast, and it doesn't get more, you know, bad boy than Motley Crue. No. Do they have a German last name?

Starting point is 00:34:55 It's not C-R-E-W as you would expect it to be. They got the little umlaut on it. Umlaut on top. C-R-U-E. God protect you if you think it's spelled C-R-E-W. God, God, who are you? Who are you? You're naive.

Starting point is 00:35:09 Randy, it's up to your first pick. Who are you? You're naive. WHO with an umlaut, who are you? Um. H-H-U with an umlaut on top, who are you? Who's Skir-Doo are you? Who's Skir-Doo are you?

Starting point is 00:35:22 We had a friend in high school whose name was J.U. and his brother's name, and he was phenomenal. J.U., a year older than us, really funny dude. And his little brother was named Lou You. So like the bit we always do, we always used to do was, Lou You, he's applying to IU, BU, and KU. And like you just do all of the like favorite alternative band, Who's Skr-Doo.

Starting point is 00:35:44 And then of course you, and then what was the other thing we did, Jake? Favorite. We did one like where he switched it. Where you think it's one thing and then you go, favorite Fleetwood Mac song, Tusk. I like, we always do Alvin and Tusk. He loves Tusk, this is the drums.

Starting point is 00:35:58 He can't get away from those drums. You know. Favorite character from The Grinch, Cindy Lou Who. Yeah, exactly. Favorite cartoon news anchor, Gary Ganou. Favorite chocolate drink, You know, all right. Favorite character from The Grinch, Cindy Lou Who. Yeah, exactly, favorite. Favorite cartoon news anchor, Gary Gnu. Favorite chocolate drink, Yoo Who. Like you just, you keep going with Lou Who.

Starting point is 00:36:11 He's fantastic. No, favorite. It's a great time. What was it? No, I can't even remember. Anyway, all right, so this is, because I'm like, I'm like vacillating back and forth between making like very specific picks

Starting point is 00:36:23 that I think are diamonds in the rough, but I now want to do this the right way. So I think I have to go for the biggest one first or the biggest one. Get yourself a left tackle. Come on. Yeah, you want it. I got to get myself a left tackle and I'm going to do it with a man who at this point is the size of a left tackle. And let's be honest, a woman who is the size of a left tackle. And let's be honest, a woman who is the size of a right tackle, and I'm talking,

Starting point is 00:36:47 you've got two fifths of your line right here. And you are almost in paradise with Mike Reno and Ann Wilson, almost paradise. Back in on heaven's door with type two diabetes. I mean, Mike. The kind that you get. So Mike Reno, Loverboy. Loverboy was one of our first concert

Starting point is 00:37:07 we ever saw Loverboy, Joan Jett and the Black Hearts opened up for them. I loved, I mean, we loved Loverboy and they brought it. I mean, they brought it and they rocked so hard. Working for the Weekend, Strike Zone. I mean, like these, you know, Turn Me Loose is just such a badass song. So they, to me, were rockers, and Hart, tremendous rockers.

Starting point is 00:37:29 Like, go back and watch. Tremendous. Absolutely. Dudes from the Pacific Northwest, like, they came from the darkness and the cloudiness of Seattle, and these two just beautiful women. And Jay and I met the Wilson sisters.

Starting point is 00:37:42 Where did we meet them, Jay? We were doing something. No, we met them, Jay? We were doing something. No, we met them at the divas thing. Kathy Diva's live thing that we wrote for Kathy Griffin. And it's been like 12 or 13 years ago, and they were phenomenal and really cool. And but this song to me is like this was the dance song. This was like these two rockers coming together to kind of sing to each other.

Starting point is 00:38:07 And I always love it because you just say this song, you have to believe that these two people are actually in love when they're singing the song. And obviously it was in Footloose. It was fantastic in Footloose. And I just think this song is like the definition of power ballad stealing from two tremendous powery bands. You know, so it's funny because we're gonna get

Starting point is 00:38:32 into what a definition of power ballad is, I think later as we start to get into it because some songs are just so such powerful ballads, but other songs are a departure from what these two people, what a band would do or two bands would do. Yeah, and they're a little tamer than, they're not like, some of them don't hit you in the face. Right, and so. That's why it's good

Starting point is 00:38:52 to get that big pick right away. Is the band adding the power or are they adding the ballad? You know, that's what, you know, they're adding one ingredient to, there's the two different kinds. I mean, they both. The first two picks, they added the ballad. Right, and these guys, this is just, you understand,

Starting point is 00:39:06 I mean, Ann Wilson has one of the best voices ever, ever, ever, and you just go like, can Mike Reno meet the moment? Is Mike Reno gonna be the Reno Nevada of, to her Las Vegas? But he actually stepped it up. And the two of them together sound incredible. And it, to me, is the perfect power ballad from an early 80s, kind of 84, 80, like, sound incredible and it to me is the perfect power ballad from an early 80s, kinda 84, 80, like post-Loverboy success.

Starting point is 00:39:30 Was he wearing a headband in the video? I think he was. You're goddamn right. Goddamn right, he always did, he always did. And on the album cover. Yep, nice. Like, thick. Yup, so that's my first pick. First pick. Thick one too, with the hair cascading over it.

Starting point is 00:39:45 Sure. Love it. And Nancy Wilson, or Ann Wilson, yes, big door knocker earrings. Absolutely. All day. All day. Are we still talking about earrings? Big door knocker earrings. You know who wrote this one is your boy Eric Carmen.

Starting point is 00:40:01 Yeah, Eric Carmen. All by myself. The religious guy. He was, he was like a religious. I love him on South Park. That's Eric Carmen. Yeah, Eric Carmen. All by myself. The religious guy. He was, he was. I love him on South Park. He's like a religious. I love him on South Park. That's Eric Carmen. That's Eric Carmen.

Starting point is 00:40:10 Oh, sorry, sorry, my bad. It's not Aaron Carmen. You guys are thinking Aaron Carter. You guys are thinking Aaron Carter. Oh, Aaron Carter, yeah, exactly. The party starter? Vince Carter wrote that song, that's insane. Eric Carmen wrote that song.

Starting point is 00:40:21 He air mailed it in. Nid, Dunk Over Frederick Weiss. Mm-hmm. He airmailed it in. Mid-dunk over Frederick Weiss. Mm-hmm. He's... He's... Dunking over Frederick Weiss. This almost feels like paradise. I'm knocking on the backboard.

Starting point is 00:40:36 It's time for my first and second picks, as it is a serpentine draft. Let's do it. To me, this is the prototypical power balance. Let's hear it. I'm taking the song, I Want to Know What Love Is by Foreigner. It's on my list. On my list.

Starting point is 00:40:51 Got him quiet in there. It's kind of qu- It starts with the first lyrics of the song. And I think this is a fundamental tenet to the power ballad. I think this is like a foundational text of the power ballad. The first lyric is,

Starting point is 00:41:05 -♪ When it take a little time... -♪ Yeah. And that's... That's not even the full poem. Time to think things over. That's it. And that's power. You got these bad boys slowing it down. Taking time to think things over. Yeah, they took a break from talking about, like,

Starting point is 00:41:22 really hard sex and how dope your body is, because that's all they talk about. Double vision, double vision. Jukebox hero. Jukebox hero. Hot blooded. I mean, all they talk about is smashing. And so they were like, no, we love people.

Starting point is 00:41:36 We need to take a little time, a little time to think. Take a little time. How about the fact that with this administration, foreigner wouldn't even be allowed in this country right? They can't tour here. And if they were, the tariffs would be so high. They wouldn't even double vision, you single vision if you're lucky. Triple vision, folks.

Starting point is 00:41:53 They're currently touring El Salvador. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This song is just so, I feel like the first time I heard it was probably in a CD compilation commercial of Power Balance. And I bet it was one of the first three.

Starting point is 00:42:13 So this came out when we- It descends into like church. He takes you to church at the end of that song. Lou Graham, it's a great call. It was on, I'm sure Sean, it was on your list too. It was on all of our lists. It's a phenomenal song. And I, you know, we're older than y'all's.

Starting point is 00:42:31 So, you know, this was like a song that you slow dance to in seventh grade to the girl you really loved and you were into. And so it was like, it came out at a key like time in our lives and we were listening to the music that was coming out. And this was like, it came on, a key time in our lives and we were listening to the music that was coming out and this was like, it came on, you're like, find the girl right now.

Starting point is 00:42:50 Yeah, oh, I bet, yeah, cause this one's getting, well, you wanna take a little time. You stand up and you get that little surge of confidence where you're like, I'm getting over there. I'm gonna do it. This song did come out a month and a half after I was born.

Starting point is 00:43:02 I was gonna say you. It's impossible for Ian Carmel to exist without this song existing. Do you guys wanna hear a little quote by Mick Jones, the writer of the song? Sure. Yeah. I always worked late at night when everybody left and the phone stopped ringing.

Starting point is 00:43:15 I wanna know what love is came up at three in the morning, sometime in 1984. I don't know where it came from. I consider it a gift that was sent through me. I think there was something bigger than me behind it. I'd say it was probably written entirely by a higher force. A giant pile of cocaine was that big of a thing. Yeah, I was gonna say,

Starting point is 00:43:34 that amount of amphetamines you had just gobbled up. Yeah, I mean, of course not. Three in the morning, I was just bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. So I get it, my wife is working on like a huge interior design project right now, and she's-tailed. So I get it. My wife is working on like a huge interior design project right now, and she's like, I have to work at night. Like, I just, I'll go to bed.

Starting point is 00:43:52 I'll be like, just give me one of the two dogs. That's all I need in the bed, and you just go to work. And she will work until like 3, 4 in the morning. And I'm like, her best stuff gets done then. So I get this. This makes sense to me. She's very much the Mick Jones of the interior design world. She is. People have said that before.

Starting point is 00:44:07 Yeah, I'm not breaking any news there. Oh my God, some of these built-in cabinets come from a higher source. Absolutely. So built-in cabinets, the song, I Wanna Know What Love Is, and elephants, all three things created by God. Higher power.

Starting point is 00:44:20 Higher power. Divine intervention, inspired behavior. She did a really good job, God did. Design, but her company should be called Design Intervention. Design. Design Intervention. That's great.

Starting point is 00:44:33 Amy, you should call your company Design Intervention. Now you gotta give her all the context. No, no context. And then you know what she just shouted out at me? I'm gonna take a little time, a little time to think things over. She's gonna need to. She's gonna need to.

Starting point is 00:44:49 Forget the wire in there. Or shut up. Shut up and do your podcast. Shut up and do your dumb podcast. Can I come in the kitchen now for God's sake? I got, so my father-in-law's in town and he does every time, but I came out in the living room after we recorded

Starting point is 00:45:02 and he's like, it's really weird to hear one fourth of that. Like one, just one. And I go, yeah. Great observation, great observation. So true and so funny and I love it. Great call Ian, great. All right, so now you get to zip it back the other way. Serpentine it back. Second pick, I can't decide if I wanna go controversial here

Starting point is 00:45:21 or if I wanna keep it right down the middle because it's gonna be a while until it swings back to old Carmel. So I'm going to take a song that I think is widely considered a power ballad, but not by a traditional power ballad musician. And I think there might be some quibbling here. Nah, I'm taking Purple Rain by Prince.

Starting point is 00:45:41 I had it on my list. Absolutely, absolutely. We think so. Purple Rain by Prince, of course. I mean, don't let the guitar solo at the end fool you. In fact, let it reassure you that this is indeed a power ballad. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 00:45:54 Let it cup your buttocks. I would have felt guilty taking this. Cup your exposed buttocks. Your tiny but perv. Cup your leather-clad buttocks that had just gotten off of a motorcycle while looking at a lake. The reason I was hesitant to take this,

Starting point is 00:46:11 and I didn't wanna take it in the first round, because I don't think, when you think of Power Ballad, you think of this song. Like, a lot of these other songs, you know, songs by Foreigner, songs by Motley Crue, songs by Night Ranger, these are not bands that have songs about going down on women. And Prince does have those.

Starting point is 00:46:29 Yes, he does. You know, this is a man well in touch with love and sensitivity and the swapping of genders in a way that isn't just makeup and hairstyle. Oh yeah, right. Fluidly on this guy. You can say, you know that Prince song about where he goes down on a woman and then someone would say, which one?

Starting point is 00:46:49 Which one, right, exactly. So there's less of a step into sensitivity, the big step into sensitivity that you see with a lot of these other power ballads where you're like, oh my God, Motley Crue is singing about that, but still it is so powerful. It's such a ballad, but I think it qualifies.

Starting point is 00:47:07 Isn't there like a, there's almost, I'm gonna make this observation about this song, like an Irish bar vibe to it where the, only gonna see it in the purple rain, and then you get the whole bar singing, purple rain, purple rain. So it's kind of gospel like you were saying, Jay, before. and then you get the whole bar singing. Purple rain. Yeah. Purple rain. So it's kind of gospel like you were saying, Jay, before.

Starting point is 00:47:27 And so you pick kind of two gospel ones. I want to know what love is and purple rain, both kind. Well, but then at the end, at the end of the song, everyone's like, whoa. It's a sing-along. Whoa. Whoa. He brings it home with everybody.

Starting point is 00:47:41 Yeah. Well, you guys know I come from the Southern Baptist tradition. Yeah, we do know that. So there's you guys know I come from the Southern Baptist tradition. Yeah, we do know that. So there's no surprises here. Carmel, Southern Baptist. And Sean Jordan from the Mega Church. I call him Sean Mega Church Jordan.

Starting point is 00:47:55 SMCJ. His home gym is called the Mega Church. That's right. Randy, tell me your second pick. Okay, so now where do I go with this? Because do I want to continue kind of up the middle? And I think, I mean, I think I gotta go, so there are two choices with this band.

Starting point is 00:48:15 Both are great. I think both are equally great. If I choose one, someone's gonna choose the other. I'm gonna go back a little bit further and do Open Arms by Journey. Oh, yeah. So I think everybody knows the other one I'm going to go back a little bit further and do Open Arms by Journey. Oh yeah. So I think everybody knows the other one that you could choose. I'm not going to say it now, but Open Arms by Journey was, Jonathan Cain had just joined the band.

Starting point is 00:48:37 He's the new keyboardist. And you know, because Greg Rowley, who had been in the band before, and I'm a, I'm a way bigger fan of like the album evolution, infinity evolution into the live album, and then departure was- Escape. Escape was pretty good too. Escape is good. So Escape is the first one with Jonathan Cain on it, and he was like a big ballad guy. And I know that this was a big thing in the band that they kind of weren't happy about.

Starting point is 00:49:06 Like you can do lights, because it's about our hometown. And we don't have, like they didn't want to seem like pussies. You know, they were just like, Neil Shone didn't. He was sort of like, I don't want to be the, he's like, I come from Santana, you know? And it's so funny,

Starting point is 00:49:20 because I was watching like a documentary, the original drummer Ansley Dunbar actually toured with Frank Zappa. He was with Frank Zappa the most. Wild. So he was great. And then they switched to Steve Smith, who held the drumsticks like chopsticks at times.

Starting point is 00:49:35 They were kind of like weirdly holding them. Great drummer too, but like open arms was to me is like the beginning of journey being like, we're gonna now veer towards our sensitive side in hopes that it'll sort of create a huge, and it was a huge hit. I mean, it was, but I loved who's crying now off that album. I love stone and love off that album. I love escape off that album. Obviously don't stop believing enormous off that album.

Starting point is 00:50:01 Enormous, but open arms is like Steve Perry laying out, showing you everything he can do. And there's just no other. I mean, I think it's really hard to find a better, pure singer, certainly in the hard rock. Steve Winwood is a better singer, I think, but Steve Perry is a close second. I think Steve Winwood is better than Steve Perry. I think Steve Winwood. I think Steve Winwood. I think Steve Winwood's like the best singer ever.

Starting point is 00:50:27 I think Steve Winwood has a great voice that's up in the high register. I just don't think he can touch the Rolls Royce that is Steve Perry's voice. Steve Perry has like a timber to it. There's like a, not a gravelliness to it, but like there's a timber underneath it that I wouldn't go.

Starting point is 00:50:44 I think Rod Stewart may have one of the greatest voices ever, ever, ever in rock and roll. But I think Steve Perry sort of merges that with, and he can just hold notes longer and he's just amazing. And this- There's a clarity. There's a bit of a like a glacial stream, you know what I mean?

Starting point is 00:51:02 It's like bracing and clear and beautiful. Where is this? And it really bummed the band out that they're now gonna be known for these types of songs. Is that this song would chart and hit so well, is that, okay, now we're, you know, because they- What's that one on the next album is what people started asking. Right, right.

Starting point is 00:51:23 So I just love this song and I think it's an incredible song. So now I come to you with open arms, nothing to hide. Just it's vulnerability, straight up vulnerability. Believe what I say. He's like really laying it out there. I really got the feeling that as much of a star as Steve Perry was, like he strikes me as a guy

Starting point is 00:51:41 who like was not to get into another song, was faithful to his girlfriend and he kind of was like, he was a monogamous dude. You know what I mean? Whether or not that really happened, and maybe it wasn't, but he just seems like that guy. It was very earnestly coming from him. He has that face too.

Starting point is 00:51:58 Steve Perry has like a Labrador retriever face on him. You know you're like... Loyalty. Sid Caesar. He kind of like, look at young Sid Caesar looks like Steve Perry. Pulling her up right now. Pulling her up right now.

Starting point is 00:52:11 Pull up a young Sid Caesar. Not from Greece, but go back. Kinda has like a little. Yeah. Right? Like put him side by side. Look at that. He's got a little. Where was Sid, was Sid Caesar up in Canada

Starting point is 00:52:23 or in the, what are they, what, the 40s? No, Sid Caesar was doing your show of shows. He was probably the biggest TV star ever in the 50s and the biggest. And, stooping Steve Perry's mom on the low. Apparently on the side. A Perry. A Perry with open arms.

Starting point is 00:52:39 He came to her with open arms. Sean Jordan? Which is a better ballad, with open arms or with arms wide open? Open arms or arms wide open? I mean, I think they're playing off of it. That's, if you load those two up back to back on the jukebox, you're getting laid. You're getting laid, you're drinking for free,

Starting point is 00:52:58 you're getting carried out of there like you just won the Stanley Cup. White Claws for everyone. All around! All around! A round of claws, A round of claws. A round of claws for the gentlemen. A round of a claws.

Starting point is 00:53:10 A round of a claws. Sean Jordan. Hey, A. You should call your business a round of a claws. I'm just kidding, my wife's named that on me. Is it me? It's you, buddy. You're kidding me, his wife and I, they're not speaking terms.

Starting point is 00:53:24 She ain't even here. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna go Every Rose Has Its Thorn. It's on my list too. Five Pauys in. I wanted to get a couple hitters, because I have a couple favorite songs that aren't gonna be that well received, I don't think. So, wanted to get these two.

Starting point is 00:53:45 I feel very happy about every rose has its thorn. Perfection in a bar. Yeah. Old cat eyes could really belt it out before he went downhill. He he had a voice on him. Didn't he do wasn't he did he he was the one who did the dating show, right? He's trying to find a wife power or no. What love was it? Rock Rock Rock of Love? Rock of Love. Rock of Love.

Starting point is 00:54:07 With Brent Michaels, yeah. In Louisville, when we did the comedy club in Louisville. It's called Louisville, but whatever, Jay mispronounced it. In Louisville. In Lowell. Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville.

Starting point is 00:54:20 Lowell. We were walking around and there were like, we saw like 11 wig stores, like in one square block and ran in like, are we in the wig district? We did want to name one wig store wig her please, but that's me. And then there were, we were saying that that dude opened up, he should have opened up a bandana kiosk

Starting point is 00:54:41 in front of one of those wig stores. That covered up most of the wig store And he should have called it bandana Republican, come on come on now Terrible his hairline must be atrocious. Oh, yeah. That's a bad bandana keeps getting bigger It keeps creeping much like fascism the bandana keeps slowly creeping back that bandana keeps getting bigger. It keeps creeping, much like fascism, the bandana keeps slowly creeping back. Thus bandana republic, am I right? Am I right?

Starting point is 00:55:10 Yeah, speaking of fascism. Bandana republic. He's got a hairline probably worse than like when Stuart Sink takes his hat off at a PJ. And I'm like, what are you, like, your head looks like a paper mate pen, you know? Like is that an eraser on the top there? It's so white.

Starting point is 00:55:28 He's driving from the proteins back there. Every rose has a storm. It's a beautiful, it's a beautiful, every cowboy does sing a sad sad song. That's the great thing about this song, it's true. Yeah. Sean, I just got a, I just got a TikTok came across my feed of him in a hot tub today playing that song.

Starting point is 00:55:50 And I'm like, you're getting your wooden guitar wet. Like, how do you know that and you don't? I'll tell you, that chlorine in that hot tub, that chlorine in that hot tub doing a lot of heavy lifting for Michael's a sin. You know what's great about this song? It starts with a heavy sigh. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:56:07 Yeah. Heavy sigh. That's the first lyric, is him going, ah. Ah. Ah. Then he starts playing it. It's like, god.

Starting point is 00:56:16 It's a fun song to sing. Oh, yeah. Hey. Hey. Hey. You do a little dig with your voice. Hey. It's one word.

Starting point is 00:56:27 Every. People don't know the lyrics, they know the chorus to this song. I don't even know the lyrics for real, but everybody knows the chorus. So when it comes on, that's when it hits. Yeah. And it's something.

Starting point is 00:56:36 Well, you got it right. And it's something makes me up inside. I say. Yeah. There are some dudes with acid wash denim jackets who know every word to this song. So we don't need to, they got us. That's someone's wedding song, period.

Starting point is 00:56:51 Dude, we used to say- Wedding and divorce. That was our high school anthem, yes. Our high school colors were acid and wash. Yeah. So. Jason, it's time for your second and third picks. So this is Carpentine Draft. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Starting point is 00:57:05 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Starting point is 00:57:12 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

Starting point is 00:57:19 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. That was my first song with my first girlfriend. That was our song. It would come on the radio and I would like call her. Be like, this is our song.

Starting point is 00:57:28 I'm trying to remember why I ever fought it for in the first place. Oh, why are you fighting it? Randy, Randy, we're not dating. Stop calling me. I just called her last week. I was like, our song is on. She's like, I...

Starting point is 00:57:42 No, he's calling her now. He's like, my brother brought up our song. Wendy Dickerson. Making stuff up. Shot in the dark, do you own an interior design business? Cause if so, it's got a million dollar name for you. Back up, Blanchard, have you built up any name? And it just came to me from a higher source.

Starting point is 00:58:00 Yeah, exactly. So I think even somewhere in the song, even though the song is, I can't fight this feeling anymore, he says, I can't fight this feeling any longer. Yeah. Like that's another line in that song. That's not even the name. That's, that's crazy.

Starting point is 00:58:17 That's too much. They needed a syllable. Yeah, the final, my life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you whirlwind. Like Kevin, I've been running around. I've been running around in circles in my mind. It came to him, Kevin, we need the song to play over overseas in England.

Starting point is 00:58:36 Do you think you could put it any longer? Cause you take me to places that I know I'll never find. And even as I wander, I know I'll never find. And even as I wander, I'm keeping you in sight. You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night. Who's putting candles and windows on a cold, dark winter's night? Paul Revere, right? He's like, you're targeting God for the Revolutionary.

Starting point is 00:58:58 The goddamn Redcoats. Revolutionary. What if I land, I don't know if that was Paul Revere, but somebody, he was involved. He knew whoever did it if it wasn't him. This red coat bitch. Um. So.

Starting point is 00:59:09 REO Speedwagon went to school with Irving Azoff at the University of Illinois, who's now like a super manager. That's crazy. Sure, sure. Yeah, so they were a Southern Illinois band. So they kind of had the same haircut as the guys from Tears for Fears. I only know that like Kevin Cronin did.

Starting point is 00:59:28 He was like a curly munt. He looked like a singer doodle. He kind of a guy mixed with a poodle. A rocker doodle. That was the joke that I did to my daughter the other day when we were doing an improv game. We're like, anytime an album cover or picture came up on our, we were listening to iTunes and like, you had to instantly make a joke about what are she was

Starting point is 00:59:52 making you make a joke. And I saw the two guys from Tears for Heroes and they had Kevin Cronin's haircut and my joke for that was, guys, bad news is our barber just retired. Good news is the guy who cuts our dog's hair is here. So that's what I always felt when I saw Kevin Crown. Someone flow be the shit out of this guy's hair. So we have a good connection RSV wagon because Randy and I, one of our closing bit on our first a good connection to our speed wagon because Randy and I, one of our closing bit on our first Comedy Central Presents was a bit we did called the Straight Man Cabaret, which

Starting point is 01:00:30 was that in, I guess in the nineties, it was big entertainment for gay men to do to dress. Maybe they still do. Too Long Foo, thanks for everything Julie Newmar. Yeah, dress like their favorite stars like Cher whatnot, and lip sync to a song. And it was like considered high art. And it really was fantastic. It's like an art sport. We're talking about drag.

Starting point is 01:00:49 Yeah, it's like drag. That stuff is like high art. But when straight men try and do the exact same thing, it's just gay, is what we said. So the concept being we should be able to do a straight man cabaret. And so we have our straight man cabaret. And we basically took the middle keyboard solo

Starting point is 01:01:08 into the guitar solo, into the drum ending of Roll With the Changes by Aria Speedwagon. It was something we would just do on tennis rackets and coffee tables in college with our friends. And it was so stupid, funny, would make us laugh every time we got so into it and knew every little thing that we were like, I wonder if we could put this in a standup thing and it worked

Starting point is 01:01:31 and just found the premise for it and it worked and it was so fun and forever we felt connected to Aria. We made Comedy Central clear that portion of that song so we could do that bit. Gotcha, the speed wagon. And the speed wagon was willing. They were willing to let it hopped on the wagon. This hopped on the speed wagon.

Starting point is 01:01:50 There is an Ariel Speed Wagon Street in Champaign, Illinois, if anybody wants to check it out. Of course, of course. And your third pick. My third pick, Randy mentioned it, and I'm just gonna get it off the board now, and we've gone into the journey of it all, but I do have a Steve Perry story.

Starting point is 01:02:05 I'm gonna go with Faithfully, which was, you know. It's all about being on the road. We all know it, guys. We all know it. The circus life under the big top? Yeah, we know that line. As a guy with a mustache right now, to watch him shave that off on the road,

Starting point is 01:02:19 and just, he had his road mustache. Shave it off to be the man he was when he left. Absolutely. And that was like a concert video that really was just them setting up for cons. Like it wasn't like a lot of the concerts. It was the road, the bus driving and the shenanigans on the tour bus. But you could feel Steve Perry being like, I just want to be bad.

Starting point is 01:02:40 It's always it was you guys are poor, you know, sort of letting you know what was to come down the road. It was a harbinger of where the split was gonna come. He didn't wanna be on the road. He wanted to be in a relationship. That's all he wanted. Yes, and he's passing on collected wisdom from the road because they say, he's not saying, they say that the road is no place to start a family.

Starting point is 01:02:59 Yeah. Yeah. That's road wisdom right there. But right down the line, it's been me and you. You and me, let's talk about us. Yeah. Being apart ain't easy on this love affair. No. And he gets the joy of rediscovering her,

Starting point is 01:03:15 but she doesn't get that joy. Yeah, she's like, you're, now you gotta have reintegrate you. Yeah. Yeah. That's how you make great art, is you start huge, like zoomed out and then you zoom it in, you zoom it in, you zoom it in.

Starting point is 01:03:27 Steve Perry did it. And hence. So my Steve Perry story is I was at this little barbecue place down in the valley. I don't even think it had bones in some, I don't know what, I don't think it's there anymore. I was picking up some food and I had my daughter when she was in a Bjorn, like on my chest and my son,

Starting point is 01:03:44 who was like five at the time and we were going to pick up this food and standing in front of us in line I didn't see his face in sort of a wacky I'm gonna call it a wacky jacket it was like a wacky a wager a wacky guy holding guy holding balloons and our dad like I channeled dad, who would have said to this guy exactly what I said, which was, how'd you get stuck with the balloons? Guy turns around, it's Steve. Whoa! How did he get stuck with the balloons?

Starting point is 01:04:16 It's early for the thing, it's someone's birthday and I was like, oh, I'm just messing with you. And I knew it was him and we stood there for another minute and I said, hey man, I don't want to flip out, but thank you for all of your great music. And I'm like, I'm a performer as well. And I just appreciate what you've done.

Starting point is 01:04:36 And he's like, oh, thank you so much. He was very nice. And then he said to my son, are you being nice to your sister? And my son was like, sometimes. And I'm like, who are you being nice to your sister? And my son was like, sometimes. And I'm like, you can't, who are you? It was an honest answer, but I'm like, are you giving Steve Perry like Neil Shone? Are you throwing him Shone shade? Well, he's a Shone guy.

Starting point is 01:04:55 Very. Yeah. He's getting the shade you're giving your sister. He's actually a Ross Valerie guy, which was the basis of, but whatever, it's fine. Which was odd, but I did meet Steve of, but whatever. It's fine. Which is odd, but I did meet Steve Perry in the flesh and he was wonderful. In the wacky jacket holding balloons,

Starting point is 01:05:08 if you would have said circus life, huh? That would have been. Under the big top. He really would have gotten that. Whoa! Whoa! Speaking of, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's like, he basically, oh, it's like purple rain.

Starting point is 01:05:21 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, that was a big one. That was a great one. Nobody's writing songs like purple rain. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yes. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah, that was a big one. That was a great one. Nobody's writing songs like that anymore. What happened? So he wrote that song about his own sort of struggles with staying in a relationship,

Starting point is 01:05:36 but he was a sacrificial lamb because when you were in seventh and eighth grade, that song came on, you found the person you were kind of interested in, and you paired up on the dance floor, and it gave you three, four minutes with that person. Jay, you should have said, every time I listen to your music,

Starting point is 01:05:47 I get the joy of rediscovering it. I think he would have enjoyed that. He would have liked that, but I had a little child, like a baby. There was no way I could have been that funny in that moment. Fine. Thank you.

This is one, first one where I think it gets murky is patience, guns and roses. Is that a ballot?

Starting point is 01:10:03 Oh yes. Yeah. absolutely. November Rain's in the 90s, so I couldn't. But I feel like Patience works. It just doesn't hit you with a two by four, but it's mellow. Whistling in the song, you gotta love that. And they're not mellow, you know.

Starting point is 01:10:19 They have such hits as Welcome to the Jungle. Not a mellow song. They busted open a little bit on this. A little bit, right? Yeah, he does. He gets a bit. Whee! Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:10:29 It's a power ballad for sure, dude. Yeah, he gets a hold of it. Okay, patience. I just, the video, the whistling, iconic. I love this song. This song's actually a fun song to do in karaoke as well. You just sort of falsetto it up. I don't remember if you guys were on the,

Starting point is 01:10:44 if you're on the call yet, but I had a couple beers last night after daughter went to bed, listened to some of these songs. This was one of the ones I cried to. Yes! Oh my God, I love you, dude. Yeah, I cried a little bit and not, you know, I wasn't pacing around with a baseball bat type crying.

Starting point is 01:11:01 I was just sitting on the couch like a tear down my face. I'm like, this is great. Can I guess which line got you? Yeah, sure. Was it a line? No, it was a whistle. Okay, okay, okay. The whistle got you.

Starting point is 01:11:13 Yeah, the whistle got me, man. The whistle got him. I wanna see if I can make him cry right now. Whistle. Whistle. That's why you don't know about me. Every time somebody whistles, I start crying. What line would you get? That's why you can't know about me. Every time somebody whistles, I start crying. What line would you get?

Starting point is 01:11:26 That's why you can't watch the Andy Griffiths show. I can't. Why are you all like, why aren't you? Why aren't you, bro? Maybe there's something wrong with you, not me, Laura. I was hoping it was we won't fake it, I'll never break it, because I can't take it. I was thinking both the power of that statement

Starting point is 01:11:47 and the genius of the wordplay. Yeah, I was just gonna disrespect Axel, because I know that's not really his bag. He's more of a, I'm gonna have sex with your girlfriend and put it on use your illusion. Yeah. As that, you know that he boned, was it Bret Michaels' girlfriend?

Starting point is 01:12:04 And it is the actual noise from him having sex with his friend. No. Bret Michaels girlfriend. Yeah, it's in, it's on, I forget the song, but they talk about it in the dirt. It's just rude. Because they had a beef with Motley Crue.

Starting point is 01:12:16 It's crazy. It's a rude thing to do. Oof. I mean, you gotta love the line. But she's immortalized. I don't change, but maybe the names, I ain't got time for the game. Time for the game, but I need you.

Starting point is 01:12:26 Comes right here, I, yay, yeah, I need you. There he starts to get ahold of it. Ooh, I need you. Ooh, I need you. That's the power. Power ballad. Randy, time for your third pick. Ooh, this time.

Starting point is 01:12:41 Randolph? Am I gonna call you Randolph ever? Yeah, you can do whatever you want. Randolph and Jadolph. I have a cut, Jadolp. Jadolp, I don't know what Jadolp is. Jadolp sounds like a rejected character from Lord of the Rings. No, what if my name was Jadolp Jidler?

Starting point is 01:12:59 Jadolp Jidler. Jadolp Jidler. Why should I change my name? Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler.

Starting point is 01:13:09 Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler.

Starting point is 01:13:16 Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler.

Starting point is 01:13:22 Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. Jadon Jitler. too hard, all right? The Joker and the Jiddler. The Joker and the Jiddler. We preach tolerance at the Jiddler house. The Jiddler house. Oh, if you excuse me. By the way, Jay and I took the Jitney

Starting point is 01:13:36 for the first time to the Hamptons. I'd never been in the Hamptons. We lived in New York for five years. We shot a TV show for another, like, four years, and we never, ever went to the Hamptons. This past summer, we took the Jitney, and I didn't even know what it was. I'm like, is this, like, a TV show for another like four years, and we never ever went to the Hamptons this past summer. We took the Jitney and I didn't even know what it was. I'm like, is this like a boat that we take

Starting point is 01:13:49 like jump off the barrens out of a Jitney? I thought we were in the midst of a Jitney. It's a bus, it's a bus. You thought we were in the midst of a Jitney? It's like a weather pattern that carries you to the Hamptons. There's a Jitney coming. Jitney Houston. The wind is up, the wind is up, there's a jitney on its way.

Starting point is 01:14:06 All right, so this is hard for me. Randolph Jettler. I kind of don't know where to go here. I have a couple, do I take a big one off the board here? It's really between two for me right now. Pour some sugar on me, just kidding. I think I gotta go with Heaven by Bryan Adams. Okay, yeah.

Starting point is 01:14:27 That, Jay and I saw Bryan Adams too, perform at the arena with the Blues and the St. Louis Steamer's soccer team played. And I- Was he holding balloons? He was not holding balloons, but Bryan Adams, God bless him, didn't have the best skin in the world, but he made it work. And I personally think Cuts Like a Knife is like,

Starting point is 01:14:49 I'll put that as like one of the best songs from the 80s. Like that to me, there's like, Cuts Like a Knife hits with like Shaken by Eddie Money and like, you know what I mean? There's like a handful of songs in the early 80s, like Cuts Like a Knife was 82. And to me, he came on the scene withies, like Cutsnake Like A Knife was 82. And to me, he came on the scene with that

Starting point is 01:15:06 and I just thought so good, Run To You is great, Summer 69 was a little more fun loving and whatnot, and remembering and whatnot. But like most of his stuff was a little more Canadian rocking. And then Heaven is like, you really see, he has an unbelievable voice. We talk about great voices, we talk about Steve Perry.

Starting point is 01:15:27 I think you have to put Brian Adams up in like one of the greatest voices of all time. Very hard to duplicate. Like there's just no way. He's in that Rod Stewardy kind of zone too. Like just enough gravel in there. It's like a lot of Molson to get there. You know, the voice just doesn't end up that way.

Starting point is 01:15:43 He smoked a ton and yeah, a lot of, you know, moosehead beer. And he just, I do think that he, that song is just, it would come on and it was like pure slow dance, everybody on the dance floor, everybody. And again, it came at the time we were like in seventh and eighth grade, and we'd have these like seventh and eighth grade dances like in the cafeteria of our at-night in our school,

Starting point is 01:16:07 and you're just like, how far can I get my hand around this girl's waist? Like, that's as her arms are on your shoulder, it's like, truthfully, like, this was... We both get to touch cool parts of the body. You get my shoulders, and I get your waist. Creeping back like Brett Michael's headband, just ever so gently.

Starting point is 01:16:25 Ever so gently. Ever so gently. Do you guys like fun facts and even perhaps some synchronicity? Sure. Let me drop this on you. Adams had played over a hundred dates with Journey during 1983 serving as the opening act

Starting point is 01:16:39 on their Frontiers tour. During that time, he and Jim Valance co-wrote Heaven, which was inspired by Journey's hit, Faithfully. There you go. See, Jay and I are working in tandem. We're like those two twins who were talking about their mom who got carjacked. But we're doing it through power balance, guys. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:16:57 So, yeah, so that I think is... I had another one that I want to get to, and maybe I'll be able to pull that off the board, but I'm gonna wait and see as it snakes back to me, but I, I just think that is like in the center of the eighties, probably like 84 heaven, cause 83 was frontiers. They probably wrote that song there, recorded it. 84, 85 was heaven. It's like right smack in the middle of the eighties. And to me it is like, if you were to point to that, if that were the definition of a power ballad

Starting point is 01:17:25 in the dictionary, I don't think anyone would ever have a problem with it. People are like, yep, absolutely. So quintessential heaven. And it's just beautiful and it rocks a little bit too. And it just features this guy's voice, which is just out of control, great. I'm trying to figure out now with my third and fourth picks.

Starting point is 01:17:44 Excellent pick, by the way. Yeah, thank you, thank you. Um. I'm gonna start making some moves. Yeah, me too. I've got some crazy ideas here. Throw it out there. I don't know. Is now the time to go crazy or is it on your fourth?

Starting point is 01:17:57 I feel like fourth might be crazy. I think third, I should maybe keep it in line a little bit. Okay. So with my third one, I'm going into line a little bit. Okay. Okay, so with my third one I'm going but this I'm going into this means a lot to me. Okay, great I'm gonna take heat of the moment by Asia. Yeah, I don't know that song. I think I could have gotten later on the stomp clap in this Mixed with the vulnerability. Oh, is it in the heat?

Starting point is 01:18:24 That song, okay. Yeah, tellin' me what you're hot man. Yeah. Sure. You watched the Yacht Rock documentary and all the Toto guys. I've seen, those guys have been in, on 5,000 albums, they said, in the documentary. 5,000 albums. Yeah, everything.

Starting point is 01:18:41 I didn't even know there were 5,000 albums. You wanna talk about powerful opening lyrics? Yes, Ian. For 15 years I've been wanting to talk about that with you. Then I got you, dude. I never meant to be so bad to you. Do do tch. One thing I said that I would never do.

Starting point is 01:18:58 Do do tch. A look from you and I would fall from grace. Yep. Do do tch. And that would wipe the smile right from my face. I love that at rest he's smiling. Let's just be honest. Okay, he's got a sunny outlook

Starting point is 01:19:13 and he's about to do one thing that would cause a resting fun face. He's a happy guy. Like, I just want to call out a couple more stanzas here because he gets real baroque on the second one. Sure. Do you remember when we used to dance? Yes.

Starting point is 01:19:27 An incident arose from circumstance. What was I just describing? You put your hands around the waist, that's an incident that arises from circumstance. The further you go, he's speaking directly to us. It feels like someone trying to define a word that they definitely don't know, that meeting up. We're like, you know, it's like when an incident

Starting point is 01:19:46 arises from circumstance. I love this song and we're having a lot of fun, but I will, I'm not throwing a yellow card, but I'm just gonna say that I think this is a little too fast up tempo to be a power ballad. I don't know that it's a power ballad. Do I have to retract here at the moment? It's a loving song and I that it's a power ballad. To me it feels like it's a... Do I have to retract to you the moment? It's a loving song and I think it's great,

Starting point is 01:20:07 but I think it's too up-tempo to be that ballad in that thing. I think you probably have more ballad-y songs in there. I love it and I love the lyrics. Can I throw one more lyric at you that I think maybe does make it a power ballad? Sure, try and change my mind. You catch a pearl and ride the dragon's wings.

Starting point is 01:20:21 Sure, which I think is great too, but also could be like a fast moving, I don't know, I just, I think they- I could hear Dio singing that too. Like Africa's more of a power ballad for them if you were to sort of compare- That doesn't feel, well that's- It's not about love.

Starting point is 01:20:37 That's total. This is Asia. Oh yeah, sorry, this is Asia. That's all right. Yeah, that's right. Why did I say that? You're mixing up your continents. I'm mixing up my continents.

Starting point is 01:20:44 Like, so, I mean, didn't Asia have another, they had like a slower song, but this was like the one where the girl's doing gymnastics. Right? I think it's fine. If it would play, would this play during a dance? Like a slow dance, you think? Not during a slow dance. No, not a slow dance.

Starting point is 01:21:00 It's a little bit faster, so I think it's not, you know, I'm sorry I did a total issue. No, please. I'm glad we got to talk about it. I'm gonna put Silent Lucidity by Queensryche. Oh, brother, that's Laura's, that song. It is such an insane song. And that's Laura's favorite ballad of all time. It's Silent Lucidity.

Starting point is 01:21:19 Silent lucidity. There's no way that lucidity fits in a song. I don't know how they did it. No, they did it though. It's like it's, yeah. Is Queensryche, is that who it is? Is that what he said? Shit, this came out in 1991.

Starting point is 01:21:32 Fuck me. God damn it. Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho. This is where it gets tough in the third round. I really thought I could move from there. I like that you're back checking yourself though. Yeah, that's me, that's on me. You have a little honest Abe over here.

Starting point is 01:21:42 All right, third attempt at my third pick. Okay. Tell me if you think this goes too fast, because I don't think it does. Fucking Master of Puppets, what are you doing? The Glory of Love by Peter Satara. Definitely not. It's on my list. It's an unbelievable song.

Starting point is 01:21:58 That song is karate kid. Oh, my God. Perfect. Like a knight in shining armor. Hit him. Hit him. Give it to me. Is that Peter Cetera? Yeah, Peter Cetera. From a long, long, long ago.

Starting point is 01:22:09 One of the lamest lyrics I've ever heard, but it doesn't matter because the song's perfect. I am the man who will fight for your honor. Yeah, dude. I'll be the hero. The hero that you've been dreaming of. You've been dreaming of. Our friend Kestrin Pantera,

Starting point is 01:22:27 who is an unbelievable director. She's incredible, great name. You can take a song by her later, yeah. She's a big, yeah, she's a big Burning Man person. She and her husband, Jonathan Grubb, great people. They have a karaoke RV where you can, where it was just like super fun. And she's, so they're just great karaoke people. And they stripped down parts of this like super magical RV and put it in their living room.

Starting point is 01:22:49 So now you can do karaoke in their living room in Pasadena, but the truth of she, one of her songs that she sings that is amazing is the glory of love. And she, it is so, she's got a great voice. She plays the cello in the middle-aged dad jam band with David Wayne, okay? In addition to being like a talented director

Starting point is 01:23:07 and amazing, she can play the cello, like a very, very accomplished cellist. But she sings the glory of love, and every time she sings it, I'm like, this is like the best karaoke version of this. It's a power ballad, it's perfect. It's such a jam. We can't talk Karate Kid and not talk about

Starting point is 01:23:26 our favorite moment in the Karate Kid. The original. It's my favorite joke of all time. Oh, it's the original Karate Kid. This is from Karate Kid 2, you know, but the original Karate Kid is when he's made up with Elizabeth Shue, the Karate Kid, and they're at the arcade, and he says to her,

Starting point is 01:23:42 I guess you heard about the big Karate Tournament this weekend. And she says, who hasn't? Yeah. Who in Southern California hasn't heard of this obscure high school karate tournament? I'd be willing to bet that some of the parents of the kids in that tournament had not heard

Starting point is 01:24:00 about that tournament. What's that? You say Jimmy's doing karate? He's kicking a lot of shit around the house. He has been kicking a lot of shit. Well, do we have to go this weekend? I think we do about that tournament. What's that you say Jimmy's doing karate? He's kicking a lot of shit around the house. He has been kicking a lot of shit. Well, do we have to go this week? I think we do have to go. Great.

Starting point is 01:24:10 There goes my Saturday. That's my whole Saturday. I hope he breaks so it snaps at Fibia on the way into the room. I hope he loses to that 40 year old Chinese guy who there's no way he's in high school and yet he's in this tournament at the first thing. Talk about receding hairline, Jesus.

Starting point is 01:24:26 Jesus Christ. I don't wanna get caught in the obscure high school karate tournament traffic. Right, well if I go out on the 405 on a Saturday and it's bumper to bumper, my first thought is what bizarre junior high school jujitsu competition is happening down in Long Beach to cause this much of a stack up here in the equator.

Starting point is 01:24:45 I don't wanna be caught in obscure high school karate traffic. Yeah. That was like a dream come true for me. That was great. Thank you. It's one of our favorite bits. It was like watching Peter Satara sing

Starting point is 01:24:59 Glory of Love. That video, man, I was right in the pocket. I was right in the middle of the height of my taekwondo years. And Karate Kid 2 was the, that song had snippets from the movie. And also it was the credit song. So I'd make my mom spar with me

Starting point is 01:25:14 after I watched Karate Kid 2. Isn't it those little drums? Those little like drums. Oh yeah, those little, yeah, that's it. It's all, that's how you fight the little, that's crazy. But yeah, that song, whew, brother. Also just these playing, he's doing it But yeah, that song, whew, brother. I love that song. He's doing it in front of like those Japanese scrims,

Starting point is 01:25:29 like the paper walls. It's pretty cool. I mean, and he was, he's got a great voice, that dude. Like that's one of the all time great voices in the eighties, certainly. Oh yeah, Chicago, right? He was in Chicago. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Starting point is 01:25:43 So that was another band like Journey that had a whole life in the eighties of like horns. All right, we'll get to it. Jesus, Jay. All right, all right. Don't jump the gun for Christ's sake. With my fourth pick, this is pure power ballad, but it's coming from a much different place

Starting point is 01:26:00 than a lot of these other power ballads. Let me know if you think this is okay. How am I supposed to live Without You by Mike Bolton. Uh huh. It's on my list. It is. Mike Bolton. Mike.

Starting point is 01:26:12 Can I tell you? Another song I cried to last night. Yes. I cry almost every time I hear that song. That song. What? That's amazing. I love it.

Starting point is 01:26:21 I love that song. So it's so good. That fucking dude is so powerful when he belts that out. Do you know what's insane? He was mostly a songwriter for a long time and he was writing songs for other people and it wasn't until this one that he caught on with that voice.

Starting point is 01:26:36 They were keeping that in the bullpen. How he was a punchline for so long is beyond me. Who is his hair? That's what his hair is. He gives a shit. Ah, Sean. He gives a shit. If he... I agree. That voice, dude, that... And also, he had Huey Lewis voice, but bad hair.

Starting point is 01:26:51 He did. He didn't have Huey Lewis hair. Or Huey Lewis hog. No, Huey Lewis got the biggest hog in Hollywood, you guys know that. Peter Frampton's supposed to have the skimpiest. So, sorry for airing you out, Frampton. Please. Frampton, every time you bring up that Huey Lewis fact, Frampton's supposed to have the skimpiest. Sorry for airing you out, Frampton. Frampton, every time you bring up that Huey Lewis fact,

Starting point is 01:27:08 Frampton's fast forward in 30 seconds. He knows he's coming up next. You know who's not coming alive. No. Man, Michael, yeah dude, that was absolutely on my list. Michael B. Bolton, dude. Like Michael B. Bol it. Michael B. Bolton, dude. Like Michael Bolton. Bolt on, dude.

Starting point is 01:27:26 Michael B. He's the Michael B. Jordan of basketball playing singers. Michael Bolton and Kenny B. G. So we met Kenny G. doing this Kevin Hart, Kenan Thompson Olympics thing that we did. And we wrote like a little, you know, I mean, we wrote this sketch that he did and he played in the studio and it was amazing.

Starting point is 01:27:49 I mean, he's such a perfectionist, it's incredible. First of all, like incredible improviser on and he starts playing that alto sax. First of all, like just regular people and there were older women who came because he was there and they came because he was there and they came. Of course, you were drawn. Because he was there.

Starting point is 01:28:07 It's like a magnet. You had a canoe out of that room. It got wet real quick. Oh yeah, really quickly. And so he, and he just like, the power was amazing. Everyone's taking their wedding rings up. And Jay, exactly. And Jay and I, after he does this,

Starting point is 01:28:19 like he riffs and does this whole thing, we come up to him and he was like very, very concerned with like all the specifics. The way you're concerned when you walk into a non-comedy room and they're like, we're gonna leave all the lights on. Do not leave the lights on, bad idea. We're gonna read all, say your name and then read all your credits and say it again.

Starting point is 01:28:36 Nope, you say our name at the end when you introduce. It's like we all become Todd Glass. And we're like, don't, don't, you gotta turn the thing off and don't do that and make sure that people aren't talking about it. He was that way with like everything there so I could understand it and appreciate it. And then he just riffs this like incredible,

Starting point is 01:28:51 beautiful riff and we're like, that was amazing afterwards. He's like, nah, it sucked, I'll re-record it at home. We're like, what? Damn. What? That was just for you guys. Kenneth, Kenneth, dude.

Starting point is 01:29:00 Sucked. I have to alert you, I have a heart out in about 10 minutes. All right, let's do this. Let's be through it. Randy, time for your fourth pick. All right, this was really hard for me, but I'm gonna now start to go into, this is late 80s, and I just think this song is so good, When I See You Smile by Bad English.

Starting point is 01:29:21 Yeah. Oh, yeah. To me, I'm like, Bad English never really did anything beyond that, in my opinion, that kind of like reached that level. But I just that song to me, it was like it felt a little John Waits. You know, it's like when I see you smile, it's like slow. And by the way, when I see you smile, good English. That's not bad English.

Starting point is 01:29:47 Should have called it good English. Good English. You know, I can do anything. No one's buying that shit. Your smile can power me. I can do anything. Think about that. I get happy when I see my wife smile.

Starting point is 01:29:58 I really do. It really makes, when she genuinely smiles, I get, I'm filled with joy. And that would have, I listened to that last night. Same, once a year it happens for Sean. And he's like. Herpetual Oscar nominee, Diane Warren wrote this song. Yeah, she's amazing.

Starting point is 01:30:14 Diane Warren, the Jennifer Warren of music. And I just think she's incredible. And she, isn't Diane Warren writing songs for our buddy's show that he's writing on the Disney Channel right now that he's, she is, I believe. She works, she works. And she's known as good. But what an unbelievable song

Starting point is 01:30:32 and what an unbelievable band to carry that off. And I just love that it's kind of on the tail end of the eighties, they were still doing the power ballads. And I think it fits, it's a little bit of a reach, but I love it. Excellent sequencing. Sean, your fourth pick. Okay, I'm gonna get nuts here.

Starting point is 01:30:47 Does 18 in Life count as a ballad? It's not nice, but it's slow, and it rocks in a slower way than Skid Row did. I mean, 18 in Life, give me some of the lyrics there. Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone. Lived like, what's he say? Lived nine to five and worked his fingers to the bone. Tequila in his heartbeat.

Starting point is 01:31:15 His face full of gasoline. Remember that song? 18 in the lights, you got it. It's a bad guy shooting another guy. Yeah, it's not really... But it's like a ballady feeling, no? Sure, ballad feel, but like sadder story. I know, it's such an amazing song.

Starting point is 01:31:33 It is an amazing song. Not arguing that. Completely agree that it is. But I don't know. I just, to me, I feel like there's gotta be some element of... I love this person or this is, you know. Okay. It's gotta get you there. I think so. I think it's, let's keep those bumpers up, yeah.

Starting point is 01:31:51 Okay, all right, okay. Or love lost or something, you know. Here we go. Hold on little girl, show me what he's done to you. Oh, phenomenal. Yep. Mr. Big, to be with you. Mr. Drew, yeah.

Starting point is 01:32:01 That video, that song. I was like, is that a man or a woman singing? I don't know. You wanna talk about a poodle cut, oh boy. It's true. It's true. And they, that song. Is that a man or a woman singing? I don't know. You wanna talk about a poodle cut, oh boy. It's true. And they invented, he invented duck lip and you watch that guy and he's just, it's so sick. I'm the one who wants to be with you.

Starting point is 01:32:13 This feels like an Irish bar song. Be with you. Deep inside I hope you feel it too. Is this video just him and a guitar and another dude in the room? That's right. Black and white, black and white,, zooms and starts in on him. Hold on little, you're sitting in a chair.

Starting point is 01:32:28 I think it's phenomenal. They're having a good time in that video. I love it. I love this song. Jason, time for your fourth and then your final picks. All right, my fourth pick, I'm gonna go with I'll Be There For You by Bon Jovi. By the Rembrandts, the friends of it.

Starting point is 01:32:43 These five words I say to you. I'll be, I wanna be the air for you. I'll be there for you. We knew Bon Jovi had a soft side. You almost felt like when that song came out and there's another one that I almost, I might double Jovi on my way out of here. See what happens.

Starting point is 01:33:03 See what happens. See what happens if you do. Yeah, I'm just saying, it's just be careful. Ian's gonna miss his meeting if you double jovie. It gets slippery when it's wet over there, so just be careful. No, but there's a moment where you're seeing that, you're like, oh, he wants to do soft stuff.

Starting point is 01:33:17 He doesn't like any of the hard stuff. Yeah. You heard that initially and you're like, someday he's gonna look like your aunt. And he does. He does. This dude wants highlights. Yeah, he wants highlights.

Starting point is 01:33:31 He looks like Jen Bon Jovi. You know your aunt, Aunt Jenny Bon Jovi? She's coming over. All right. You guys, I'm sure you guys know this. You know his last name is Bon Jovi, but spelled B-O-N-G-I-O-V-I? Like Bon Jovi, like one word.

Starting point is 01:33:44 It's an Italian word. Bon Jovi. I, for aO-N-G-I-O-V-I. Like Bon Jovi, like one word. It's an Italian word. Bon Jovi. I, for a long time, I wanted his name, his last name just to be Jovi, and his middle name was Bon, so it'd be like John Jovi. John Jovi. John Jovi.

Starting point is 01:33:54 John Jovi. John Jovi, it's like Dan Van Kirk. Yeah, Bon Jovi, it is what you, sounds like the Italian word you say when you're trying to tell someone to enjoy their ravioli in the evening. A banjovi. A banjovi.

Starting point is 01:34:06 A banjovi. What are you eating there? You're eating ravioli? A banjovi. A banjovi. A banjovi. One of the leading candidates to become Pope is named Pete Sibala.

Starting point is 01:34:16 Pier Battista Pete Sibala. It's not Cedric, it's not Cedric Sibala. Pete Sibala. Cedric Sibala. One of the leading cadet is? Is Cotton Fitzsimmons? And then the other guy's Stephen Miller. Alvin Lozano. Yes.

Starting point is 01:34:28 Cotton Fitzsimmons. Speaking of Pizzaballas. Wait, Randy and I, I would love it if Randy and I were up for Pope. Like, look, they wanted the guy to be able to two places at once. You guys are auditioning originally against each other, but now you both can be Pope.

Starting point is 01:34:43 Open it up! The two Popes will be poppin' through. Open it Pope. Open it up! The two Popes will be poppin'. Open it up. Open it up. We're already Cardinals fans. We should be the next Pope. Okay. There you go.

Starting point is 01:34:52 And your final pick, Jason. We'll do a speed round to the last one. So do I double jove or do I go in a different direction? Go in a different direction, go in a different direction. All right. Is more than words? 90s. 90s?

Starting point is 01:35:03 I knew that was on the edge. I know, that was the first thing I looked up. It almost feels like it's your kiddo again. That's why I started looking things up because I found out that was in the 90s. It's perfect. So good. And their other songs, by the way,

Starting point is 01:35:13 those dudes are fucking maniacs if you listen to their other songs. So I almost went with another Journey song. I have Sender My Love, which is another Journey song off of that same Frontiers album, because they were like, we can't get enough ballads going here, guys.

Starting point is 01:35:29 Yeah. Sender My Love, you know, that's kind of a weaker one. It's either that or Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry. Hard To Say I'm Sorry, isn't that also? Yeah, that's Chicago. Chicago. So I think I'll go with Hard For Me To Say I'm Sorry. And it is Hard For Me to say I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:35:45 I just want you to know. I don't say it. I don't apologize for anything. Hold me now. I really wanna tell you I'm sorry. So do it, no one else. Just do it. Can't do it.

Starting point is 01:35:56 No. Can't do it. It sounds like you. I want to. I want to. If it's so hard for you, why'd you write a song about a bitch? How? It is. To me it was like, Sir Mix a lot. I like Big Butts and I cannot lie. If it's so hard for you, why'd you write a song about it, bitch?

Starting point is 01:36:09 To me it was like, Sir Mix a lot, I like big butts and I cannot lie. He's like saying, I want to be able to lie to you. I wish I could. Do you know how long I tried to? I literally, that's all I want to do is be able to lie to you and say that I like tiny butts. I can't. I literally cannot lie. Hey, Mix, how do you feel about big butts? I don't know. Whatever, man. That's not my thing. No, you know what, guys? I can't, I know, I can't, I can't. I cannot lie.

Starting point is 01:36:28 I judge a woman by the character of her butt. Sure, the content. Sean Jordan, your final pick? I'm gonna go Must Have Been Love by Roxette. Ooh, must have been love. Yeah. But it's over now. Roxette had like the five songs I know, all heaters.

Starting point is 01:36:46 And this was probably the softest one I could think of. Randy, your final pick. I mean, I'm gonna skirt over just once by James Ingram and On the Wings of Love by Jeffrey Osborne, which I contend are the exact same song and those two dudes may be the same person. I mean, do I go deep cut? Okay, so I'm in a quandary here

Starting point is 01:37:08 because I'm either gonna go deep cut Boston with Amanda, which is just a fantastic ballad. It's so good. Third stage, I love that album. Jay and I love that album. We would listen to this album on our friend Josh Scher's waterbed. Like what junior high kid had a waterbed?

Starting point is 01:37:26 I did. I did. Stop. I did. I lost my virginity on a waterbed. Were your parents divorced? I get seasick. Of course they were.

Starting point is 01:37:35 On waterbeds. I mean, I want to empty the chamber. Wait, your parents were divorced. Yes. That's why you had a waterbed. Waterbed. My mom had one too. The...

Starting point is 01:37:44 It's insane. Because it in matching waterbeds. She used to smoke on it. So, cigarettes, I'm serious. When she went to bed. Anyway, we were in a rush. I keep, we're in a rush. I know we're in a rush. So, and I will say, Amanda, even though I think eternal flame

Starting point is 01:37:59 by the Bengals is perhaps one of the greatest of all time. And we know Susanna Hoffs, because she's married to Jay Roach, lives next door to our grid friend, by the Bengals is perhaps one of the greatest of all time. And we know Susanna Hoffs, because she's married to Jay Roach, lives next door to our grid friend, Dave Nichol, and we've met her and talked to her. She's absolutely one of the most wonderful people ever. We saw her perform Eternal Flame at Largo,

Starting point is 01:38:16 and just that song does something to people, certainly young women, but like of a certain age at that time. And I don't know, but I'm gonna go back because that's who I am. I'm such a Boston fan. I'm just gonna say Amanda's my pick. There you go.

Starting point is 01:38:31 Tell me if this works. Yep. Why can't this be loved by Van Halen? Yeah. I think so. It's on the border? It's on the border. I think it's a little too fast.

Starting point is 01:38:41 I love, I mean, look. It's a little too fast. It's a little too fast. I wanna try to get some Halen in there. That's Van Hagar, by the way. Van Hagar. I love I mean look too fast. It's a little too fast I want that's that's my hailing in there by the way Van Hagar Van Hagar, I wish I could do like 11 videos with the Blue Angels Whatever that sound at the beginning that guitar tone or whatever It's a little too fast for For me, for my time. All right, all right, fair enough.

Starting point is 01:39:06 Sorry, sorry, I don't wanna call. I approach the jury and I was rebuffed. I know we're up against the time limit here, but come on. I Remember You by Skid Row? Yes, yes, sure. Yeah. I remember you. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:39:19 Remember yesterday. Yes. I mean, you're pulling it from a hard rock. I'm glad Skid Row made their way on there because that's 18 in life, so I'm happy. And that is, I mean, Welcome to the Sound of Pouring Rain. Doesn't get more power ballad than an opening lyric like that. I'm glad Skid Row's here because a lot of these guys

Starting point is 01:39:36 are living on Skid Row. Yeah. Also, Sebastian Bach, dude, Sebastian Bach got a voice. He's like the one that can still sing. Speaking of a hog, doesn't that guy legendarily have a massive hog? I think he's got a whopper on him. He looks like he's got a thumper for sure. Knee knocker.
