You when you were drunk. Yeah. I framed it. Well, it looks good. Did you paint that with a vagina? It's a classic dip in paint. I'd buy that. Dip in paint and then smoosh your lips on it and draw a face around it.

Yeah, I came out pretty good. If you think about the fact that I painted it with my vagina, I say something, Michael, Mike, that would be a fucking great. Dude, if we did not art, if we all did a fucking art, like Gabby did Vagiar,

mean you did ball art, and Mike could do a fucking helmet and fucking belly button art. Man, my nuts are fantastic artists. Really? We had a lady paint with her boobs in the studio. We had another girl draw with her asshole. She put in a Sharpie in her asshole for Van Halen.

Take his men. She had a draw picture with it. What's your draw? I don't know. I don't know, it was a long time ago. It was the first reunion of Van Halen and David Learoth. So people are willing to do a lot of shit for tickets. It was fun. It was fun.

It was fucking great. I want to draw, I want to do a painting. This is what we do. We get the canvas to Gabby. She does something with her badge. Gets it to me, I do something with my nuts, then we get it to mush, she does something with this fucking wiener,

and then we get it to you, and you do your balls, and you wiener together, and we make a painting, and then we sell it, and raise money for kids. This is all on, oh my god, this is all on one canvas. Yeah. Can I let you it? Yeah. Can I have the brush that Gabby used when she's done just in case I need to touch anything up? The brushes are vagina lips. That's the brush. Oh, you're actually. Yeah. She's gonna,

she's gonna mush her half her vage and blue paint and half her our vagin pink paint and smush it down on a canvas and see what happens Let's see we draw a monkey and you could be the monkey's mouth I bet you could draw bouquet of flowers Like paint the bouquet of flowers with it like each kind of dip was the flower Dip dip dip dip and then like roll back and your ass online will be the stem what? I'll teach you I'll help anyways, we got a great show tonight

you're not like that I'm a strong guy Cuban you're like one of those white cops from an army of ice to help crack in tubs that's swite tech and zero that's ice cream I'll take it. I'll take it. I mush looks like every fucking average podcast or in Jersey. We don't have topics to keep it fast and loose.

You look like the guy that was the fugitive with Harrison Ford. Yeah. When he goes and gets that basement apartment, yeah, the kid gets arrested upstairs for selling drugs. That's what was like. He looks like he does. How do you pick up that reference? He looks like the kid who gets arrested. When he gets the top of him. I gotta go slow. Mm. Great. We've got a great show today. Dennis Young, from Stix.

I am a fan of Stix. I like Stix a lot. I'm a fan of all the songs, and you can't help but sing their songs. They come on, you like, I gotta let it ride. I gotta let it roll. songs. They come on, you like, ah, not, I got to, I got to fucking, I got to, I got to let it ride. I got to let it roll. But my question is he sticks. So when he leaves sticks, how does sticks even try to go on without him as sticks?

Dude, they tried, they made up a lie about this guy. Oh, I want to get out. This, this, he basically got sick. He started the band and then let the other guys in and then he basically You know around the 90s got sick and couldn't go on tour and they were like fuck you we want to go on tour and they just went and They made up some shit about them and Then they trashed them on behind the music his songs and shit and It was fun. I mean, the backstory to this is crazy. He's an amazing singer. He is very, like, I would imagine that the latter half of

this career would be just Broadway or if you did music, you know, and he's not, he's not, you know, he's actually, if you listen to him talk about this stuff, he's pretty on point. I mean, we can ask him, of course, but, you know, he didn't even, he was like, listen, I just want to go on tour with you guys one more time. I'd like to just go out and give the fans what they want who gives a shit Let's go do one more fucking roll this and let's try to get in the rock and roll hall of fame because they got Gold album platinum albums number one hits. They I mean they got so many fucking things They should be in the rock and roll hall of fame and then Absolutely, I'll give you that I'll give that and I often disagree with a lot of bands who are even nominated for it because you get like one fucking song

And they're like oh rock and roll hall of fame that's bullshit Um, and there's so many other bands that deserve to be in there before some of these people even get nominated But it takes I think you're one of those bands But one of the best one of the best, one of the best Sunday depression songs ever. Babe, I'm leaving. Oh, must be on my way. Oh, my God. I want to just slip my wrist. Fucking vein right there while I'm watching the house of the prairie. Dude, bet. I mean, we'll go through his hits, but I mean, it's fucking great. When is he, when is he sliding in here? Do you know? I just checked in with him.

He should be in any second. What do you just know every rock's time? No, actually. His PR agent kind of reached out to us. Well, what? Well, wall? What don't I surprise? I don't know him.

You know, I don't know him. I thought you were gonna to be like, oh, Uncle Dennis. He's been saying longs for us. Chris was time for a long time.

place where you can see me because it's so dark. You look like a retired top gun pilot. I worked my... I didn't even get all dressed up like I'm a Navy head up. It is a thing. I, let me see, I'll sit right here. I can go downstairs in the studio if you want. Look, man, go in the studio so we can see the whole floor. You know, a guy is, you know he's rich when you can see all the arches in this house. Oh, this is at my house. My neighbor is in Wyoming.

I just break in and stay here when, that's my whole house. Wait a minute. Oh, I'm getting dizzy. You've passed like four staircases. This house would be huge. I was waiting a minute. Oh, I'm getting dizzy. Oh. You've passed like four staircases. This is my husband with me, huge. Yeah, you're so big.

You know why? Is your wrench? I wrote Come Feelably, Dammit. Damn right, you did. Damn. What a song. You know what I'm saying? So they took him up to me and he said,

you know something, Dennis? When you wrote that song, I swear you wrote it for me. You know what I tell him? I did, because after I write it, baby, it's yours. It's not mine anymore and I let go of that stuff. All right, I'm down in the studio. Unless you want to put it in a movie, then it becomes Dennis' again real quick. Oh yeah, I'm sorry. The check did not going there.

Okay, hold on a second. Get that. Get that. Get that. Get that. And I got this cool stand and all I got to do is put the lights on down here and you will see. Look, you got my, you want to put your clothes on? Dennis, good thing you're lucky I have my pants on. You know, normally I do these interviews. I work.

Cup. Because you know, listen, you're talking to somebody, you never know when a ball is going to take a bad bounce, hold on. That's true. Jesus, look at that. Well, we always control. Is your rockin' ball a fame right there? Yeah, look at that.

Look at all those accomplishments. Um, wait a minute, how about if I tilt the stance, you can see something. I have a strong of me and Louis CK behind me. That looks great. That's all I have. Did he ask you to watch anything to get that photo? That's how I got on the show. I, uh, gotta do it. You gotta do it. You gotta, you gotta damn right? I do it again. That's right. Wait a minute. Did you do anything? Are you in Chicago or are you a Chicago boy?

I am a Chicago boy. People think I sound like a gangster from Chicago from the South Side. And although when I sang, I pretended to be from England, but kind of a funny, balloon English accent, I used to sing with, but no, I'm from the South side and when I can put it on or take it off. So right now I won't do that South side thing anymore and I'll talk like a regular person. But when I, you know, when I'm pressed, like when I get, um, accosted in an alley, I go

right back to it. Is that a good picture? How's my Navy here? Oh, it's great. You look fantastic. Here's the thing. We We were playing me and my band were playing in Jacksonville a couple years ago and the Naval captain from some It's a ship of some nature. It's not a boat. They get angry if you see that they gave us a beautiful tour of the whole thing and they gave us hats. So if that's my wife, tell her I'm not here.

So this guy's great. I don't know. It's shut up. We have for that place. Hold on a sec. Oh, it's on the gut. Okay. I'm just a guy.

I'm getting six calls a day now from people who identify themselves as Illinois call. You know, you don't want that. Anyway, I digress. So I'm wearing this head on the road because I dig it. And everyone's come up, everyone people, they come up to many elevators and go, are you retired, Navel Captain? I started getting embarrassed.

I said, no. Oh, they're always everyone thinks I'm in the Navy So I stopped wearing it But I'm about to do an arm service is one of these things these two mats. That's for the private girl and And so my my sense that pull out that Navy hat wear because it's an armed forces thing and it's for the Disguised station. I forget. Anyway, good to see you guys. I'm sorry. How late am I? You're not that late. You're fine. You're perfect. What do you got for kids? How old are your kids? Man, it's how old? Yeah. My son,

he's my LD, which is my lighting designer, staging for less 17 years. He's just turned 40. I'm not a minor, staging for less 17 years. He's just turned 40. And my wife is my wife. And my daughter is gonna be 49 this coming month, and she looks like she's 30. She's just gorgeous and like her mom. And my wife's 71, I'm 73, and we've been married 50 years.

Holy shit, that's great. I was gonna ask you about your son. Like when you're a rock star, how will Wendy real, when does your son realize you're cool and you're just not like the average dad? Never. That's what I, yeah. You know what it's like to be when you're, listen, my daughter was in the heyday of it. She was there like she was on the bus when kids were going, you know, kids could be. So she was, she was through the thick of it, she'd never tell anybody who I was. People say, what is your dad though? He's a house painter. That's your dad. If I knew my dad, you know, I mean, if I knew any, even any, any one of the three dads that I had,

You know, I mean, if I knew any, any, any, any one of the three dads that I had, I would, my dad was in a band. Do you know, I would tell everybody, I would be at every show, I'd have all the swag, I'd wear sticks hat, I'd have a satin sticks jacket when I went to school. Oh, shit, ton of backstage passes to go meet the girls. Oh, you know what I'm gonna say,

yeah, you would think so, but my son, he's, uh, he's like eight years younger than my, my daughter. So he's born in 80. And then of course, the band, time you show a quote, 83. So he was on the row with us, uh, as an, as an infant, uh, I have just, just priceless videos of him like a three playing as the acoustic to get tired pretending I'd say I start playing the beginning of a song He'd complete it. It's just it's so wonderful But you have a great video of your the good old days the video is all You're and it really is a touching video because it's all your family and it's your house And it's you got with it and then you live like you have like this regular life

You're gonna get like some up above ground pool and you're hanging with your friends on a boat and your little kids And and it was really touching to see that side of a rock stop, you know anything Well, I love you already because you did homework sometimes that come on these shows the last one I did way great guys They went so it's the album It's a sticks album and been in six twenty one years anyway, so yeah that That that was done because when I did The song to the good old days. It was a duet. I wrote for me and Julian Lenin to sink together

We went to do the video, the COVID-19 coup d'et-e. Boom, they hit. He ends up in, I think he lives in Monaco. And I ended up in my aunt's attic. So we couldn't do it. So what kind of video can I make? I just went and got all old home movies and those guys in the boat with me.

So that's that's that's John and Chuck Panazo. That's the six. So I had two families. I had the family with my wife, Suzanne and my two kids and I had the family with the band. Where see the Panazo brothers lived across the street from me. Two there were twins fraternal. Right. And we formed the band in my basement,

my parents' basement in 1962. I was 14 and the boys were 12. And so the last album that just came out a few months ago, it's entitled, 26 East, which was the address of my parents' home. But look, that video, I mean, I watch it, you know, like once or twice a week, and I'm just a guy that put it all together.

So I have seen it, but I just think to myself, yeah, that's me, you know, I told everybody in 77 about the grand illusion, and that we were creating an illusion for the audience, but don't believe it, don't be fooled by the radio, the TV and the magazines, they'll show you photographs of how your life should be. Those are just somebody else's fantasies. You know, you and I, we're in the bullshit business. We're in show business. And it's hard to... I got this shirt. Yeah, it's nice. I like, I love Hawaiian shirts. And so, no, I do, I had a

house in a wife like six years, so I love a wife. But anyway, I got this Walmart in Pekipsi. You're gonna take some Walmart in Pekipsi. Yeah. So anyway, this is what, that's me. That's the guy, you know, like you step that in pants. That was the guy who was really behind the satin pants. And, you know, in those days, all the good stuff in the press goes to the

people who are drugged out, alcoholed out, acting, living a life that everybody in the audience in the press thinks they want to live until it ruins them, which is out in the barchery. You know what I mean? And sex rock and roll all that bullshit, which is not bullshit because it's true. But you know, I, on the other hand, am I talking too much? I better not. You're great. We love you. Listen.

Okay. So here's the deal. My parents wanted me to go to college. These are depression people. Nobody finished high school. You're going to college. My father was a printer. He had ink on his fingernails, permanently at all times couldn't get it off

He said you see these hands Don't end up like me you go to college don't dig a ditch. This is all he ever said to me So I'll after I saw the Beatles in 64. I don't want to go to college. I want to I want to be in the Beatles for Greysick McCartney never called me, but so I for my own band and Then I got married, okay, like one month after I graduated college, I was a school teacher and I had a baby girl about a year later and so when I got the record deal, I was already 25 years old, I had a kid and a wife. So that house you see in the beginning there where all that's, I was already that guy, you know,

teaching school and then I got the rocks there, a gig, which is a good gig in case anybody asks you. If somebody said, want to be a rock star, I'd say, okay, so there's the deal. And so I came from a different place. Nobody in the band had kids Through our hey D just me so when you have a kid. I don't know if you've got kids or not But if you do I do

Yeah, and you know the minute minute you had a kid you say hey, hey mr. Smartpants. It's not all about you know more, right? Yes, so I's the worst. It's the worst. I wasn't a you. I didn't do drugs and drink and all that stuff. So it's so fun to look. Because you guys got together, you guys got together as a band

and you had a hit and then the other two joined. Correct? No. No. No. No. No. That was, that was, uh, uh, Villagio, Villagio Dakota and the Ron Fluggers. No, I'm kidding. Right.

What we did was, the original five guys that came together in 1970, we recorded albums and then Lady was on the second album and then it became a hit two and a half years, almost three after it was released. It was, you know, we had a local record company there. Y luego, se ha sido un dos o tres años, después de que se ha sido realizado. Y, ¿no? Hemos hecho un local recorcompamiento.

So anyway, so my point about me and you saw the video, I'm glad you watched it. I love it, I don't care. You know, I never tried the hide that I was married. I didn't because it was who I was. And you know, on the other hand, I did wear those tight sat vents.

Because the- And the vest. Don't forget the vests. I love vest. You want to know why? I'm telling you right now. This is why you called me. Not exactly formal.

Not exactly casual. You know, it floats, right? And when you're on stage, you never have to suck your stomach in. Because that's some of a bitch you can cinch it up, you know what I mean? Because when you're singing, you don't want to be holding your stomach in because it's bad for the diaphragm, but I love vests. And you know, I should get a vest when I'm on stage. But what do you got to lose?

About 50 pounds. I like to relax with the 50 pounds. I'm not saying this book. So anyway, I was different. I didn't, I'm not a goody-two shoes. Don't get me wrong. You know, I can be a pain in the ass. It's just that I had a fan, I had kids,

and I had to protect them. So I'm glad you saw the video. I want to see something about that pandemic, if I may. Can I? I got a question. You're all these years that you didn't do drugs, you're rockstarry, and you were able to stay married, and have a good marriage.

Roll those girls throwing themselves trying to get inside the vest. I'm married Joan of Arc. OK, so, she'll come down here in any way. Speaking of my wife, we have been in house, well, since March, however, it was a five month, six month, I don't even know anymore, I'm confused. So, and my wife, she's 71, she's beautiful.

She says to me, you gotta stay six feet away from me even in this house. And she said, even during sex and she said it's never been better. I... You're on the video that you did with the other song that you came out with, all due with all due respect. the other song that you came out with, the all-do-with-all-do respect, you did, you actually did that video, yourself too, from quarantine, all the band members film themselves

and you had somebody put it together, which was pretty, I mean, pretty inventive too, to come up with a video in quarantine and Have somebody put it together. I was it was great. I loved it the The guy who put it me and and this guy Greg put it together here in Chicago. I did it We edited it on zoom where it got he had the studio and I got yeah We came up together and here if there's anybody listen to the guys name is Greg Bizarro. I said this is real name

Bizarro Not made up it's an Italian name and I said what was you know what was middle school like for you? Uh-huh So we yeah, we did that video. I'm very happy with it. I sent My buddy Jim Peteric, you know this guy. He's in there. He's the guy playing the riff He wrote the riff. I wrote the you know, then I sang and did all the words He was the guy who didn't want you to sing the the the chorus

He didn't want you to swear. Yeah, he thought it was not me. You know, you know It's not him either. He's the guy in he would either tiger. I got it. I got to be honest I was in the car from survivor. Yeah Peter Rick he wrote I had the tiger, you know the song vehicle by azimars Yeah I'm a friend restraining her in the blood of death. That's the endless tree blocks from me. We love it. Yeah, and that's why I live in a gated community.

Yeah, he's rich. We need him coming in. So, you know, the thing is, he was against that idea. Well, my kid, I played for a chorus today for my seven-year-old. And I was, I was, I was a set come, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I song now he doesn't care. Seven you look at this guy where he come from. So who do you dislike all not dislike but I mean you're all the talking head media guys or is it just a fox thing is it just a CNN thing like you're leaning the way or you're like it's all bullshit. Yes. Yeah. So I look at it here's I'll get me a mychfield the

news business in the United States as a Corporate entity I don't care what side you're on or what channel you listen to or Watch and talk radio to I mentioned them a little bit, but to me this is essentially about Punditry disguised as news. I support everyone's right because this is the idea of the country. The First Amendment. You have an opinion. I'm glad to listen to it. You know, I might want to hit you with a tire iron after it, but that's okay. But don't this is what they've done. They've disguised the news and it's really

Their arms of political parties now that's gonna destroy our country because what I believe has happened And I think this really started way back during the Kennedy years you guys probably weren't even alive, but when they put on Gord Vidal and The other guy was not way muffuckly and they let them go together. They started this thing to debate. And you got the polar streams coming together because then it's theater.

And they realized they put these things together. People tune in because what's going to happen is, it's like the WWF, you know, it's like wrestling. And that's wrong for the fabric of our society. So what they do is, it's what we call the, you know, the car wreck's in them. People slow down, they love car wrecks. You can't stop human beings.

Don't legislate against human nature. You'll lose. But the news business shouldn't do that. Because when they put these opposing views together all the time, What they do is they exacerbate the truth by making us appear to be more at odds with each other than we are. And the more you see it, don't tell me it doesn't start to affect people. I got to choose the side of them. I'm with these idiots. I mean, with these MOOCs over here. I don't know who I want to be.

And so they're causing the polarization the polarization are people are they polarized? We're sure people are you know people are always a little different but the contrast of this stuff nightly disguised as news yeah okay supposedly without opinion is going to destroy the United States of America. I just watched CNN today and Fox they hit on William Barr, right? And they're questioning him and going, what happened to this country for God's sakes? You know, I mean, and it's the news business. So I was so pissed off for the last time. I wrote a song 13 years ago that was called Turn Off CNN. And it wasn't about CNN, it was about how much news, how much information can we absorb from every mom and look in the world.

They got a problem, right? I think I have, I think I have Jockietch, we got to hear about it constantly. How long does that figure in with our little reptilian brains? Right, well, we're trying to figure out how to pay the rent and what are the We just oh what is it? So it's too much so I was saying turn off CNN not because it's CNN But cable because we're receiving far too much information. We used to have local news at 5 and 11 And it was the most boring fucking thing ever but it was news news should be boring

Local news what's going on around you with a little world news? Maybe a little country stuff and that's it now. It's a 24-hour cycle. It's about ratings It's a regular network fucking propaganda money-making horse shit. And you can't watch it because it really does. I flip flop so much. If I watch CNN, I'm fucking mad at this.

If I go over to Fox, I'm yelling about this. And I'm like, I don't give a shit. I care about my son, my wife, and my number one best friend, my calta. That's it. That's it. And sometimes Gabby, sometimes. You know how people are like you in this car. I travel, you know, I'm in cities.

You travel? Yeah, I do 70 shows a year right now. I was joking. I did my big travel today. You know what I did, I went next door and got groceries. That's my day. He did, look at him, what a mask and a hat and shoot. I just got my, you know, my hazmat suit back from the cleaners. I go over and I buy groceries and then we eat them. No, not now, but

I, people, don't hate each other. The way we're being portrayed on the TV, we have differences. Yes, but good grief. Stop doing this to the fabric of our society. Can it get an amen? Amen. God damn amen. And I said, right, you see, this just in. Nobody knows nothing. That's what the news people should say. Nobody knows nothing. You know why? Let me tell you right now. You know what a brush all is. Yeah, I love brush all Okay, are you Italian Italian Irish? Yeah, and I think full Italian is dad's in the mom Go ahead. What kind of Italian are you Mike? Sicilian and how to make a Sicilian I'm with No, I'm still the eggs anyway

I'm still the eggs anyway I'm half Italian as well Unfortunately, it's my upper half anyway So here's the thing You know, well, I forget what I was talking about but I did my joke second. Go show Brazil. Oh, Brazil You know, we're talking about Brazil. Yeah, yeah, you're half a tiny. So you'll have a good, a bit of flank steak, rapid, you know, we're all brisoles on this planet. Stop thinking we know something. I start there. Some humility, right? We don't know shit. Okay, so now we're all brisoles. Just meet wrapped around stuff with something held together by string. And now the

COVID is sent to us. Oh, you people drive me crazy. You think you know something. You know nothing, right? They're saying right. Here's the thing about this whole controversy about masks. Let me say my piece. You know what I just found out? Well, the COVID-19 has not had any, he's been so busy, he's had no time to read our constitution, the Bill of Rights or the Declaration of Independence. It doesn't even know about it. So, how, as a species, we figured out how,

now, to politicize a possible life saving device, I say we're screwed. COVID doesn't recognize your government, a possible life saving device, I say we're screwed. COVID doesn't recognize your government, my government, your religion doesn't respond into any of that. I'm just in here, just, I'm doing my thing. So this is my point, and other than that, people have not clicked off all over the world

on this podcasting, this guy's in there. No! No, no, no, not at all can I tell you why and I don't mean this in a insulting way at all But you're 71 years old you said you're gonna use live the Three you live the full lifetime and you've been through some shit So I think people that are in their 70s and older have know what it's like to be to go through several life-changing events like this, and they also know what it's like to be bullshed it. Yes.

And you know, what's going on right now with people protesting? Let me just say this to you. The pandemic. 73 years never saw anything like it. Nobody has unless you were alive in 1918. Nobody knows what this is all about. This is, you know, when they say, this is the talking point for the republic

is in the democrats in the fall. There's only one talking point. It's COVID. They keep everything else and stick it up your ass because if you don't fix that, you can't have anything. That's all there is to it. So stop pretending and stop pretending like you know something.

And so every guy that comes on the TV, and now when you're cramming in 24-7 news cycles, the so-called expert, you know what happened to the experts? You've got to go, we done the list. Now you got this meatball, right? You got that Barbie doll that come out of over here and saying things that they know something They don't know shit. They don't the smartest guys on the planet right now Don't know what to do with this COVID. So you and I we know We're brijoles

Boom there they go through the universe and and we're gonna. We're gonna say oh Here's what will this is another thing you got me on a rant now My buddy said I'm a killer forget about it. I'm watching but I'm a huge baseball fan I watch the Cubs in the white socks. They're played and then now they played and they and I'm looking at it I'm thinking of myself. What these guys? They're not wearing masks. They're not distancing their the dugout hugging They're acting like nothing happened. What happened to the Marlins? Yeah. How stupid are people?

You know what's wrong with people? They're Brajols. They're Brajols. We're all fucking Brajols. Hacking Brajols. They're all Brajols. Mountain Starving. I'm hungry.

I'm damn hungry. I'm a joke. Here we go. Oh my uncle Joe, uncle Joe's staying gone. Oh, my uncle Joe, Michael Joe, stand going. It was the best cook. He was the best cook in the family. His brajoel, oh my God. Every time Uncle Joe was like elevating right? But you know, my aunt is wife, my mom, everyone would stand around him and watch him make the sauce.

And then they would come in and it never tasted as good. And when he said his secret was 30 finger nails, what a character. I think you're absolutely right, buddy. I'm sorry, Mike. You're absolutely right. What you're saying, when I watched, I heard the song and song and I'm said like I didn't expect it to be Political I didn't expect it to say something like that And then I was like this song makes sense. It's actually I feel like it's what everybody is thinking or at least in my

If you have a brain you can see through the bullshit. If you have common sense and civility, and you know how to treat people right, you know right from wrong, you can listen to this bullshit and go, oh, no, I'm fucking done. I'm not watching it. It's horse shit. They're trying to get me to hate.

They're trying to get me mad. They're trying to get me to fucking say something or do something. I probably don't wanna do. I put some, if I don't put this up on my Instagram, I'm a race, if I don't put this up, I'm an asshole, I'm this, I'm that and it's like, what the fuck, I know who I am, I know what I am inside,

I have the people around me, who are my friends, why do I need to see this shit? So the song, actually, I fucking loved it, I really loved it, and I loved what it was saying, you know? Yeah, you know what I do. Listen, are you with me on this raise your hand. You're with me. I think we have to form a party find Dorsey and piss in his cornflakes What good is Twitter? It's the worst. I say this every night. I say it every night. I keep looking at Susanne's iPad. But listen, I say this every night. I say this every night. Twitter

fucking sucks. But for some reason, because you're in the entertainment business, and you have all these people that follow you, You can't, you can't let it go. I don't know why it does nothing for me. I very rarely tweet anymore. The only time I tweet something negative, if I tweet something negative, I've done this as a test. I've said, I wrote, I did one tweet a couple weeks ago. Fuck, fuck Twitter. It got the most likes out of any tweet I've ever posted. Even when my son was born, it got more likes. Fuck Twitter did. So it's like we all feel this way But we won't we we we have to it's like a fucking addiction. It's like heroin, you know? No one in the history of mankind

has been able to invent anything that gets you to make a fool of yourself faster. Yes. And Twitter. You know, every thought does not need to be expressed. And the thing is, it used to be in the old days. When I at a lot a lot of social media. I think well, you know what I grew up in the air and where I lived in Chicago. There were taverns on street corners, baby that was it and my grandpa lived downstairs. He's in the tab. What there was Charlie?

He's in the tab. And so I've been in I delivered newspapers to one of the taverns But my dad always said you know he'd been in a tavern to one of the taverns, but my dad always said, you know, he'd been in a tavern a number of times and he never heard anything worth listening to. And the fact of the matter is social media is now a worldwide tavern. And it's worse than that because you want to fix the social media problem with me. Here's how we'll do it. Okay, say anything you want, but your name and your address in the picture of yourself right next to it. You'll get civility, you'll get some crazy people

that don't care, but all the people who hide behind the anonymity, look at, when you're a kid, you've never had bad thoughts about your parents. Yeah, that was it. You think, oh my god, it's gonna be a good picture because you won't let me, you know, everyone has crazy thoughts. You didn't say it.

You didn't say it to your father because they're consequences. If you don't have a consequence. How was it, how was it, how was it, it's a Juicy Hall of Thirteen, so I kind of did. But listen, ah, so look at this guy, what a life he said. Were you an orphan now

No, no, no, I had a big Irish family. I was a fucking punk alcoholic piece of shit, but I I was a joke that went too far. I'm sorry Nobody nobody save me They'll just they just nodded their heads and agrees Savory. Agreed. They all just nodded their heads and agreed. Son of a bitch. And too many kids in the family can't keep track of all of them. It's not necessarily the Twitter you hate. It's the anonymity of the cowards. It there should be a vessel to have it like they have an opportunity to speak to a mass amount of people if you can control yourself.

And the cowards that don't want to put their name behind it shouldn't have that option. Amen, Mike. That's it. You can't just walk into any room and start saying things about people because you know, you get your ass kicked. Right.

But if you can do it behind the veil of you'll never be discovered, you're bound to say things that you would never say. And you know what, this is what keeps human beings from not being completely crazy because they know there's consequences to their actions. And I can say, Dorsi, I don't care, let your beard get any longer, I'll give you a shit.

I'm gonna piss in your cornflake because nobody needs you I'm sorry. You're in show business. Here's what I'm gonna tell you right now Call me at an next time Twitter sends you a goddamn residual You're right. We made Twitter fucking popular. We're the ones People in the industry and the entertainment industry or whatever. We're the ones who got on there and fucking started. We made it a fucking a platform where you could go and hear your the people you love talk to you kind of almost to you. It's fucking I think everybody should be verified. I think if you want to be on a platform, you

should be verified. We should know you want to be on a platform, you should be verified. We should know, you want to get a little check mark next year name once we know your license, where you live, how old you are, and now go fucking say whatever you want, Gary Sullivan from fucking Some of O Massachusetts, because I know where you live, your cock, Saka, and I'll come to your house. You're fucking bragel.

Classic Gary. There you go. There you go. That's it. What? That's what you're just looking for. You know what I'm looking for? I don't want no trouble.

Neither do you. I just want a little civility. I want to say, okay, let's give that guy or that girl a break here and there until they earn the right to be punched in the face. That's a lot. Right. You know, because go easy. All of us are in the same boat, which is this.

Nobody knows nothing. We're making everything up as we go along. And here's the problem with human beings. They know their finite. You think dogs would be as happy if they knew they were going to die? No, they'd be fighting their masters asses it. Every chance they'd get, no, I'm going to die. Who's I with that? So you know what you do?

You make people laugh, right? Right. I write songs and make people think and sing and hum along. But all of us, what we're really are, we're really people that are the chief distractors in charge of keeping people from thinking about dying. Yeah, it's what we're doing. This is all we're doing.

We're saying, don't think about that. Look at, we got to, we have a nice bridge over here. And a guy's going to sing a song, play the accordion. You know, I'm originally a accordion player. That's how Italian so was I Were you ready? Well, oh, Papa. Yes, I was Well, my mother was Italian. It was the law well family was Italian Yeah, yeah, and also my my mother was single at the time and I wanted to play guitar, but she Ended updating the accordion guy, So I had to play the fucking accordion I could have been in your band at this point and I don't know but I

Whatever it's a tough it's a tough instrument and of course it was What like a dinosaur I I studied it for eight years. I was very good. I'm a lousy piano player I'm out of piano player at all. I'm a fake piano player I'm I'm an accordion player who had to transition. And, you know, after the after the show, let's get together and do a below shake. Something that part never did. Is there a better feeling in the world, standing on a

stage and watching people sing a song that you wrote? I like orgasms. I let me just tell you why I just I've been here so and I'm pretty sure I've done almost everything that I wanted to do in life. There's two things I know that no matter how hard I work on it will never happen. I'll never have that feeling. I'll never have a hundred thousand people sing a song back to me and I'll never take a current call in Ike Stadium.

Those are two things that are beyond my grasp, I think. Well, don't forget about tying your shoes without holding your breath. I'm but that that must be a song that you wrote in your room that you were like, um, babe, I'm leaving. You're like, I wonder if this is good. And then all of a sudden years later, hundreds of thousands of people in a country you've never been to know the words to it.'s got to be great. Well here I'll tell you something there's a quick story about babe I it was never supposed to be for sticks it wasn't even for anybody it was my wife's birthday and I decided she supported me

my whole life I'll write a song about having to distance ourselves from times not like this one but you got to go away, you got to come back, it's hard on people. Very hard. And I'd write her a song. I said, I wrote that thing, ran into the studio, which John and Chuck, the three originals, and we did a demo. I gave it to her. It was just for her, only for her birthday party. And everyone at the party thought, hey, that didn't suck. So I thought, what? So I started to listen into it. And the guys played for the guys. And say, that's a good song.

And so we, Tommy Shaw came in and played a guitar solo on it. But the song you're heard on the radio is the demo that we did. And I sang on the harmony part, because I was the only guy that could sing the day that we did the demo and So it was never intended to be a stick song, which is why there were any big guitars on it because that was by myself Yeah, they were in a drummer and so that's how that became me. It was never even supposed to be a stick song

We're lucky. There's no fucking accordion on that song. I this one Here's another little bit. I walk in The studio the grand piano was out of tune It's true story and I I said, don't tell me a stupid That a tomb what am I doing here and he said, oh, how about this in the corner? There's a fender roads, which is the thing on the out I'd never played a fender roads in my life It was a guy named Bobby Whiteside who the fuck is that I don't know so I left there rolled it in opened it up you know there's stuff in the big in bottle

and be didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy doy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy didy And so I played it on the fender rose because the grand piano was out of tune. Wow. That's a great story, man. I mean, this is the way that, you know, sometimes I wrote something called Nothing Ever Goes This Plan, which is the way I lived my life. Make all the, you want your brush holes. The universe have its say, you know, because if I'd have said down to the right bay, but we're probably even awful, you know, because if I to say it, I'll do right, babe, but we're probably even awful, you know, but I just heard me boom, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, time. It's kind of like the, it's kind of like your, I mean, your YouTube page, you sang the one song, you sang best of times, just, just as a, I'm just gonna sing this for you guys. Here you go and it blew up.

I know, I would have taken it. You know, you know, I radio, radio guys like you, you know why? Because you were good radio.

I've had you on my radio show before. Most radio people that you talk to don't give a shit about anything but plug in their album. You brought the keyboard, would play in sing songs you were good you're a good radio guest what's it what station are you so I'm I'm a talk radio station now but I was back in the day I was on a I was on a country station that played Southern rock music and it was a bullshit station but I was just a morning show it I only played like two songs an hour.

But we were leaving on our very first show crews, the morning that we had you on, and you sang, come sail away with the entire group that was going on the cruise. That was a good time. Was that was, I had to be 9, 2004? Wow. Yeah. That's cool.

That's cool. Yeah. You know, this is show business. You know, this whole posing, voguing rock star. You know, when people are cool, yeah, it's fake. The only people that are really cool that I knew in high school are no dead or in jail. The rest of them are pretending. I got another fun fact for you. Dennis, you see that beautiful girl there right there? Gabby? I have a father. Is the My father is the keyboard player of Bon Jovi. Oh David. Yeah, and he, I can't believe you guys don't know each other. You guys are keyboard rock stars.

How many of you are there in the business that are fucking iconic like you two, right? And you don't know each other. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. He actually, he wrote a Broadway score for when he wrote it. This is, you don't know this story. Okay, listen to this.

New. He did wrote the score for Memphis. Yeah, he wrote Memphis. Okay, I want to look at you. I'll tell you what it's saying. Years earlier, because you know, I'm in Broadway I've written two scores from musicals and Joe D. Pietro he set me through my buddy the original story from Memphis and said might have made it to the music years ago. Thank God you didn't do

it. Your father is second choice. Now I wasn't saying it for that reason. It's just that I read the story and I thought in your, in your, that's a keyboard player. I thought you really should have a guy, a guitar player, write this music because keyboard players generally, you know, they play keyboards, and they're melody driven, and all of a Broadway is met and I thought when I saw, read the book, I thought, well, this is like, you know, Memphis, right? 1955, and I didn't think I was qualified to, I didn't think I could do a great job,

but you know, your dad did a great job, so good for him. So we got that in common. And I think I'm funny. Yeah. And one time we both held hands with Richie Samboora, but that's another story. Sure. My dream. I met Richie. We I did a I had a cameo in a movie called The Perfect Man. Hillary Dupt was her movie and, oh my God, shoot me. What's your call? His Richie's wife. How do you like her?

Heather Lockler. So I mined that movie with him. And I met, we hung out a whole day there on the set with Richie, a lovely guy, lovely guy. Oh, he's incredible. He's the sweetest. In fact, I know the guy who signed him, it was that record deal, Joe Thomas.

He signed your dad a record deal about 10 years ago. No way. My dad also plays accordion. See? All the cool kids do. What the fuck? We have all these vintage accordions in our basement. Why? What is this?

I don't know. It was a thing. It was a Northeast thing, man. Yeah. And we're not Italian. And we're Jews. Oh, really? Yeah. I'm not dying. I'm not like the elephant accordions.

Closer bands have accordions. Yeah. Jews and Italians are the same thing. Yeah, especially from that area. You just have better. Oh, do we ever. The Italians not the Jews, but. Come on.

What is that? What happened to it? No. My son loves mots of ball. I look. That looks like a mistake. Anyway, go ahead. One of the fans wants to know.

How do you feel about Cartman from South Park singing Come Sail Away? I got stories, guys. You called the right guy if you want stories. I'm not going down. All right, let's go. Let's hear it. I get a call from the end of sticks when the our subraising 84 until 1995 I think it was, I never got one call from anybody to use any of my songs in any way, shape, reform, commercial, TV, film, nothing. Nobody said nothing. Nobody said nothing.

No cruise line ever asked for comecelloa. What's wrong with these people? No wonder they get Salmonella and Corona viruses. You stupid asses. Anyway, you're Jaws. Jaws. Anyway, so I get a call and the guy goes, these guys want to use cum cell away on a show they have called Sult Park. I went, what's that? What's Sult Park?

And he said, well, it's like the hippest show. And so it's on a comedy channel. I said, that's a channel. No, I knew. So I looked and I looked and I thought, it isn't. It's gone. No. So anyway, I said, and then I saw the barbers strison thing. You know, they took the dim part. So I said, I got to talk to them. And so, believe it or not, stone. Very powerful. And matte, matte stone. Mm-hmm. Okay. Matt calls Very powerful. And Matt, Matt, Matt Stone.

Okay. Matt calls me out. And I said, hey, man, I think you guys are really, you're really smart cats. You know, it's wicked good this humorous. I said, but you know, I don't want to be made fun of. He said, oh, no, no, no, no, no. He said, when I was in eighth grade junior higher freshman, he had a radio show called the Paradise Theater.

He's a fan. And he says, no, we're not doing that. And I said, okay, have fun. That's it. I don't think not enough it. Okay. That one thing I did guys and gals, opened the floodgates.

I have not stopped getting requests for songs since that day. It is my kids' trust fund. My music has been in over 30 movies. I countless TV shows because I went and said, yes, the Cartman. You guys. And because of that, remember now, they were the hippest of the hip. And everybody tuned in to see that episode because Cartman's father was going to be revealed.

It was huge, huge show. I mean, you know, everyone was suddenly all the smarty pancake, it gave permission. Right. All the hipsters and say, well, maybe sticks was hip. And then boom, smartest thing I ever did. I love that big, bone kid. Listen, it was great. And because of that, Adam Sandler came on board and you know everybody just Crumbum wants to know how did you come up with the name sticks? Who can I can I tell you? Yeah, oh, yes as I was raised a Catholic Kid I went to Catholic school and at one point they brought us into the church because they had a speaker coming and The speaker had to tell me why I had to throw away all my albums and all my CDs school. And at one point they brought us into the church because they had a speaker coming

and the speaker had to tell me why I had to throw away all my albums and all my CDs because the Beatles did backward masking because they were talking to the devil. And all the other bands I love or all devil worshipers, including the band Sticks, that named their song after the river that takes you to hell. That's what they told us when we were like in fourth grade. They told us sticks worship the devil and they named their song off the river and that if we listen to it, we were going to be on that river to hell. Now I don't know what the real story is, but that's what they told us until 10 years old. It's all right. It's all right. It's all true. We were dead. Right. see yeah hell looks like hell to me there's my weight

with Mike just in case oh yeah oh yeah defend the defendant The defendant. That's what a rosary is. He's the thing. Backward, backward masking, right? We worked so hard to get the things to sound right going forward. We had no time for that. Right. But, no, Stix was the name nobody hated. You know, the name of the band was TW-w4 when we got signed and we had to change our name Because it was originally called Tw4

We got a fifth member But we had all these Business cards we don't want to read for him so we kept him Sticks was the name nobody hated and remember now it's not just the rift root here's it is the river that connects uh okay to lesion feels you go down these you know these circles of hell and then when you're done you come out it's like it's the river that connects heaven and hell in Greek mythology it's not just hell. And so, you know, I think, you know, what they say,

arose by any other names, still smells like a funeral. Okay. Okay. Okay. What's your, who's your favorite comedian? Jerry Lewis, I wanted to be Jerry Lewis. Really? When I was, before I wanted to be a musician,

I wanted to be Jerry. Yeah, what do you think I wrote this song? Lady! Pretty lady! You're so funny. And Gabby's dad is the same way, which I don't really meet rock stars. Like Mike meets rock stars all the time for his whole career. That's his job. He has rock stars on. I'm a comic. We kind of self-contained in our own little world So when I met like Gabby's dad and you rock stars tend to have comic timing like some of them are funny like I would see Gabby's dad and interviews

I'd be like that guy's funny because he you know John would be flicking his hair and fucking being cool and this You know rich you would be flicking his hair and fucking being cool and this, you know, Richie would be having it and You know, David would always be fucking cracking jokes trying to get something going and then when I met him He was fucking hilarious and you have the same thing you have the same Fucking always bustin balls fucking around you'll get serious and right at the end You'll throw a zing in to lighten things up. I find that interesting Here's the thing Especially when you know bunch of either more 80s

And in the 70s like I said it was an illusion You had to be cool. It can't be funny To this day there were people who were sticks fans. They're not crazy about me being funny. Most of my fans get it. They're in on the joke because they're adults now. So, but you can't beat. The cool is not.

Nobody that's funny is cool. They're funny. It's different. You know that. Yeah, you know that. You know that. Yeah, you know Colin Quinn said cool is the enemy of funny. Yeah, of course it is. It's so pretentious It is so um, I wanted to be jury Lewis. I'm like kidding you um, I

idolized him. And at the same time, it was curly, and so I always had that in me, but you know, you suppress it. But the last 21 years, I'm at instics, I can be who I can be myself. I don't, I don't want to be funny. I will I can be serious. You've heard me but But the funny stuff I Really think it's just simply and your dad will tell you this It's just a desperate need for attention Hold are you I'm 26. God bless. How was your dad? 58. Okay. But tell them you said, you know, this is good.

I'm glad he did the Memphis thing. It worked out nice for him. Didn't it? Did he get a Tony for that? Yeah, they won Best Musical for that. Oh, good. Oh, good. Now, tell John to take a hike.

Hey, Dennis. I don't need you. I know Harvey Fierce thing. Dennis, before you go, we have a question we want to ask you. We ask every guess, no matter what. I can't ask a serious question first. Sure, go ahead. We've been on the phone for about an hour and you seem entertaining, lovable, super talented.

Thank you. Who's the asshole that won't do a sticks tour that's holding that up? When you talk to somebody and you realize you have to couple of minutes, you're like, well, this guy's a dick. No wonder I don't want to be around. Clearly, that's not you. So who's the one holding that up? Honey, will you call my lawyers?

I mean, the money, it does got to be mountains of money there. Oh, dear God, who doesn't know? You guys, Tommy Shaw, James Young. Right. But I mean, like, what is that? What is it that you that it? Look, every band has said, hey, we'd'd fucking rather we hate this guy Van Halen did it Van Halen still hates David really wrong they were like fucking let's just do it there's God I mean how deep can that run they don't hate me they don't hate they can back in and when I got very sick in 1998 very sick uh here's here's it perfect

I got a flu virus when I went to my sister-in-law's funeral in California. My wife, both of us, got very sick and I really worked myself to the bone in 1997 and I just did too much and I got so sick I couldn't get better. I never had anything like in my life. The upshot is I got a very serious virus and I got what they call now, what you see with the with the COVID is called post-firal symptoms. Which means when it goes away, something stays. For me, light sensitivity, I had the fever was so high that my light, my eyes were permanently affected, but I didn't know what it was for almost a year and a half.

I just couldn't get out of bed I thought I had you know the classic what do they call that thing where you can't Product fatigue. I didn't have it. I that's why I have my I have sunglasses on constantly now But the Tommy and Jay why there's three of us left in 1999 we're making an album together They know I'm sick. I'm trying to get better. And they came to me and said, we want a book of tour. And I said, give me six more months.

I just figured out in the last month that it's light. I'll get my strength back. And I think they really believe the two of them. I was never going to be able to go on the road anymore. And I think I lost my usefulness to them in their own minds. And it was an opportunity to take control of the band and do whatever they wanted with it, whenever they wanted to do it. They didn't have to ever ask my permission on anything.

And that's what happened. And then they replaced me. And they took the name and they just ran off for a year and a half and used it. Never paid me a dime. And then they did it behind the music. I got a call two weeks before they're gonna do the behind the music. And the guy says, do you wanna be involved in it?

The guy that was doing it, the record. I said, like, why are we doing one now? We're like, not, we're not liking each other. He says, no, you want it. So they interviewed me. And so I watched it. I'm never forget, I'm watching it. What was on with my wife. I cried my eyes out because it wasn't enough that they just wanted to take the name. They started a campaign to discredit me as a human being and as a creative person in the band because they knew the sticks base, the fan base would need a good explanation as to why I'm no longer there. And so they made the decision to say, we had to get rid of them. He's a poop-a-face. And then they went back and relitgated an album from 1983,

Killroy was here, and the song Mr. Repada was it to say, see, we never wanted to do that kind of music, and that's why we can't have them in the band now. Even though in 96 and 97 we had these huge comeback tours. Right. But they sold that for the goods now for 20 yard years, and they sold it at the top of their lungs, and they split our fan base really badly, and people yell at me.

They like, it's like the Republicans and the Democrats, they scream at each other, right past each other, and it's the saddest thing that ever happened to me because that was the most sacred thing was that fan base. That love of the band gave us guys for triple platinum albums consecutively. Before that we had a double platinum, a platinum, and we had a double platinum at the end of that run. That's a fan base. And it's been splintered. But now, you know, for 20 years, they said, Roboto was the devil in the last three years. They've been playing it live as the first encore. And it's foolishness because you guys,

you're not going, ooh, I wonder who wrote that lyric. I wonder who played that part. You liked the band, the music hit you, you liked it, or you didn't, that's all people need to know. They don't have to watch the sausage be made. And the sausage story that they have told about me, as you know, you haven't spent a lot of time with me, but could I possibly, I was never that guy, I was the leader, okay, and I'm not ashamed to say it, but none of that use could ever have been made without the talents of

all of us in the same room together. We created something intense. My humble opinion, very special for millions of people, and it's a shame that we can't do one more tour. I said that I've been saying it publicly. I don't want to be back in the band. It's yours, baby. Let's do one more for the fans. They can all get together one less, one last time. Have a pizza and sing kumbaya because that work comes to a point. And then they'll just oppose. Maybe they'll change their minds.

I pray that they'll do that. I can't wait to get one of them and ask them a series. Because that's what I'm saying. I mean, like, I fuck how many bands are like, well, we fucking hate this guy or he hates us. He talked shit about us 20 years, but we're sitting on a pile of money and we've had three triple platinum albums. There's a billion fans out there that would love to fucking see that.

Like we owe it to the fans. Like I would think Gene Simmons is a dick because he wouldn't allow the original kiss to play at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Everything in the kiss, but his army kissed this, because that, kisses raped their army for years by putting their names in the logos on every piece of shit thing and selling it to their own fans. And the one thing they could have gave them back on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame night was the original kiss lineup to do one song. But Gene Simmons is such an asshole that he wouldn't let that happen.

Like, it's not about the fans. It's about asshole rock stars. Yeah, well, you know, I listen, I have to be careful here because I'm wearing a kiss-bong. The Gene probably made you pay for it. No, he can't. That's just for free. Yeah. pay for it. No, he can't. That's just free. What a fucking line. What a fucking line. You had me, Mike. That speech was good. God damn it. I was right in. And he fucked Dennis slipped a nice singer right at the end.

Oh, here's the thing. You know, you know, you guys, you have a team here. You don't agree on everything. You never will. All boats rise with the tide and always keep your eye on the greater good. Yeah, because what people liked about the band wasn't me or Tommy or J.Y. or John and Chuck.

It was the band. It was the band. And you can never lose sight of that. Never. That's a thing. And you know that, and that's the key, it's knowing it. By the way, nobody told J.Y. that those are just two fucking letters

that don't go together. They see J.T. J.Y. It's so difficult to say. All the people in this family went by initials. Yeah. Our Y is brother, you know all of them is sisters. They look like I don't know why His middle name is Vincent JV would have been way better. JV is awesome. I love JV. Yeah, you know So now so now when people want to hear the new song.

I want to see you they can't go to your YouTube channel they got to go to Bizarro's YouTube channel. No no no he has his own YouTube channel. But he does have that one song best of times which is so relevant right now. I mean the words if you listen the words like oh my god, he wrote this last week Okay, for what's going on now? He did he walks up to his pia The in the in the camera. He just sits down and he fucking wails out this song and It's perfect and the lyrics are amazing, but it's not on his but all his other songs Around his own YouTube page Mike you guys you guys you can bring that up. Hey, bro

It doesn't matter because you just go to YouTube and you can look it's all sitting there my albums on frontiers records It's a pretty good record if I say so myself and it's called 26 East and All this stuff is sitting there for free on YouTube. You can just put my name in there and you can listen for free because apparently music should be free. How do you how does it come about that you and Julian Lennon become partners? Okay so this is my last album and the title is where it all began. 2016 is the house. It's full began. 2016, it's the house. It's full circle.

I'm not going to make it anymore. I have a volume too. That's another story. But I'll tell it to you in a second. I'm going to do a Beatles song. If I don't see Jules's Dad's band in 1964 in February 9th, I don't know what I would have done. It changed my life like so many, it's that countless musicians that witnessed that.

And that's when we started playing rock and roll because after the prior two years we were playing, I played accordion, it was a wedding band. We played weddings, we had to make our parents happy because you know, that's why you and I are in show business. We're just trying to make our parents happy for Chris Sake. We're still trying to get their love. What's wrong with those parents? It's odd. It is. So anyway, I saw the Beatles. I said, I'm going to do a tribute to the Beatles on this last record. And I wrote a song and I thought, I wonder if Julien Lennon would sing this with me getting ready. I brought up this email, getting ready to press and then I listened to the song and said,

no, it's a pure beetle rip-off. It's my story. I don't think it's good for him. So I went to the piano and I wrote to the good old days with just him and I in mine. I said said, what were those voices, something like together? I wrote it, I demoed it, just piano, spoken. I sent it to his business manager. I don't know him. I never met him. I just said it cold, figuring, yeah, in a pig's eye.

And then like two, three weeks later, he said, I'd be honored to do it. Oh, man, the universe sometimes is not completely shit. So, you know, I went to New York and he did the vocal and I finished the song and I got to tell you, it means so much to me personally. I don't even care if people like it. Oh, I do care. But it's just, you know, can you imagine this? You're watching his dad's being. And then 600 years later, you're standing next to, you know, and Jules sounds like his dad. And we were standing in the studio singing. First time, not on mic, just in the control room. And we started singing together in harmony and both.

Yeah, I was, I'm sad, I was cool. I was fake woman. Yeah, I think this is going to work. And sometimes go, I was like, out of my mind thinking, how could it be this? And how did this just happen to me? And that happened. So kids, all you people out there trying to wonder, I was like out of my mind thinking how good is this and how did this just happen to me and

That happened so kids all you people out there trying to wonder what's coming next nobody knows But if you hang in there there's a chance something good could happen Very awesome. That's great. That's great. Love it. I've talked too much. No, you don't you're a fucking big brajole. I love it. I love it. I've talked too much. No, you don't. You're a fucking big brajole. I love it. I love it. Why don't we miss those? The three brajoles. The three brajoles and the nice looking one. Well, I don't like to be called nice looking, but it's not talking to you. It's across the bear. Should we ask him the question or maybe he shouldn't. Oh, he should. I'll answer any. All right. Well, not too late. Now you brought it up. It's too late. Dennis, if you had to, if there was a gun to your head, you had no choice. No choice. You had to do it. Me or Mike Caltata which one would you have sex with?

Where do you where do you live, Dennis? Are you in Chicago now? My aunt's attic. I'm in Chicago. Chicago, I'm in. City. Yeah. I'm out.

But, you know, I can get down there in 25 minutes if I do. But what I'm doing on there. I'm just saying, when this passes over, we're going to come in. I'm going to go look at those gold records. It's where they're at. Man, you come in all you can go over to the house. We'll get good pizza. Not that shit you eat in New York We put the sauce on top that's confusing on top of what a top of a pie with Wait a minute wait a second. That's not that's not Chicago pizza. That's invented. You're talking about that lume on the ice bullshit? That's halada pie, that's what it is.

Here's what it is. It's wafer thin crust. Yes. Crunchy crispy, fennel sausage, not too much cheese and a nice sauce. I put it in the oven and you overcook it a little bit, so all the dusty crumbs on the bottom get a little burnt. Yes. Like this.

It's like a host on Sunday for your Catholic. That's the cup. And then this guy, Ike Suele, he shows up like in the late 50s, and he opens this place where you get you get a pizza you got a higher two men and a boy scout to lift it. That's not your co-pizza. And you know what you cut it in squares. That's what you know what I'm talking about. I'll be willing to try that depending on your hot dogs, you put too many vegetables on your hot dogs. You just need, you just really need relish and mustard. That's it. Maybe a tomato.

That's made with pork dines. Right there. There's Mike, but there's Gabby, there's Dennis. Now he's a singer, he's a singer. You play guitar, you play the drums, he's a singer. He had your hand off and he had my whole thing. Come on back. singer he's a singer you play guitar they play the drums he's a singer my bad he said he looked pretty old haha

The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P.

The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A.P. The A. Yeah, this has been great. Really, I mean, you know, you never, I'm like, I love your music my whole life. And you know, your songs,

and I saw your resurface up on YouTube with your song, best of times, I was like, it's fucking great. And to know that you're just a regular brujole, you're a great guy and funny and down to earth. And you're thinking great guy and funny and down to earth and you're thinking like the most most of us are thinking it's pretty great. So it's been a pleasure to be with you guys. I'm sorry I was a little late and really when it

comes right down to it, we are Americans, a pluribus onum, the idea from these flawed men who came up with this ideal, an ideal that has never ever been true. This is not the promised land, okay? It's only the promise of this land and it's up to people to say, well, we gotta figure out a way, you know, to get along and make the thing go forward. And yes, we have never lived up for a promise.

And we're facing that right now. But we don't need these people in the news media for cash making us anymore divided. Well said. God bless America. And God bless Dennis the young. There we go. Thank you guys. All right, bye. We'll see you later, man. Take care. Bye. What a great guy. Whoa, he was awesome.

I wish he knew. I'd go eat pizza at his house every night. Hi. Dennis, tell us his story about when you met this guy and we just eat pizza and hang out and listen to him. He's so cool. He is very cool. He had jokes, too. Yeah, that's the thing. That's why he's a good He had jokes too. That's the thing.

That's why he's a good radio guest too. He just talks, he takes over and goes, he's got his corny jokes, and they play in. He's my 73 years old. That's a fucking lifetime, man. 73. And he's, I mean, Jesus Christ, Mike, you look fucking, I mean, just shatteringly scary. I better wear that. I look like I'm gonna kill people. I'm glad that logo looks like I'm

But my logo behind you looks like a fucking like some type of KKK anti-Semitic fucking logo. Anyways, I Yeah, he was great man fucking great. I mean when he fucking said he's wearing kiss panties and it killed me. What a fucking line. It was good. Great, great guy funny, but you're absolutely right Mike. I would hang out with him in two seconds. Yeah, like the cool fucking old guy in your block that you know, it's got a thousand stories. I don't care that he was a rock star. He just want to hear him tell stories.

Yeah, it is a shame though. I would love it if you got one of those other guys and found out what the fuck happened. Do you, Gabby, do you know any of the guys from Skid Row? I don't know them personally, but my parents do really well. Yeah, yeah. So, so I knew Scotty Hill pretty good. He's one of these guitar player and him and and Rachel Bowen, the bass player. And I used to have them on the show all the time. And I will tell you that Sebastian Bach is the most hated guy in the history of music.

And I can prove it to you, because Skid Row has no fucking money. I've been to Scotty Hills house. They have no money, and they would rather be fucking poor than reunite with Sebastian Bach and go out on tour, because that would fucking crush it. They could go out with guns roses, they'd go out with anybody they wanted to,

and make millions of dollars, but they'd rather be fucking poor and play the small clubs, then go out with that asshole again. And that's why I thought Dennis D'Young was going to be an asshole because those guys would make way more money going out with Dennis D'Young and sticks than this no name fucking sticks that they have. But no. A complete opposite.

I'm not really, I'm not good with famous people, you know, I'm really not. I just, I don't, and I always say something stupid or blah, blah, blah. But he was so fucking chill. That was like talking to, he was like talking to a comedian, just fucking, you know, had some stuff to say, lightened it up. Um, I know I can't see why they would not want to fucking do that. And they replaced him with a guy that looks just like him. Yeah, and you, but the guy doesn't have the talent.

He doesn't have the singing talent that Dennis D Young has. And you're never gonna have original sticks. You Boston try to do that with different singers too, and they never had Boston again. Yeah, you can call your band one over the fuck you want. But if you don't have anybody from Lynn and Skinner, and it is not Lynn and Skinner. Right, right. So tell John Majerovia, I said, call your band one over the fuck you want, but if you don't have anybody from Linnon Skinner and it is not Linnon Skinner. Right.

So tell John Bon Jovi, I said, and till where'd she send Boris back in that fucking band? This guy's out. I'm just kidding. Did they have a new album? Don't they have a new album out? Lawrence Goen, Gellon. Did you bring him up?

Yeah, bring up what he looks like. Yeah, they replaced him with this guy. You're gonna be just dropped an album? How do you not know that fucking banjo we just dropped an album? I don't know. You're the worst daughter ever. No, we actually really are. We really are.

We talk about other things in work. We talk about life. We talk about life. No, that is a major part of your father's life and we'll probably what's going to buy your next apartment. No, we talk about the musical baby. That's what we focus on. All right, I got you.

I got you. There's definitely more points on the musical. Four points on the musical. I get you. More points to that. There's definitely a new song out for sure. I don't know if they dropped a whole album. Yeah, they did. I'm on. I'm on it. I'll handle all the bond. We knew you could just do it. Do it.

All right, Mo. She can take that off. Yeah, you're, I mean, that's, that's just terrible that you don't know you father dropped an album. Yeah, but I know how privileged are you in the first five albums in order we have I look at you Jersey look at the first five albums the first five banjo be albums in order. Name him. Bajo V. New Jersey. No. The pretty one what? No. Oh my god. Oh my god. You're a fucking failure. What do you want from me? I want you to learn. I'm not a fucking father. His hair is like a piece to rock and roll music.

I know. You're finding a rock and roll fame. I know more than you'll ever know you can learn all the things You could find on Google and Wikipedia honey, but I have the real juice What what is how it ended you what I smoked pot with your father did you yeah last weekend she did 13 what are you not? Stupid she was smoking pot with him. She probably did fucking ecstasy with her father She was smoking pot with him. She probably did fucking ecstasy with her. Ah, there you go. We're getting in the pay for your fucking internet. So you don't freeze up like that.

Yeah, get him to upgrade your fucking internet over in Brooklyn. Is it freezing? Fucking terrible. Not like a mad privilege. Yeah, yeah, you don't like the word privilege. It's because you're using it as an attack. It wouldn't be funny if it was, what's the only funny way to use the word privilege? Just call me a bitch.

You're not a bitch. You're not a bitch. I'm going to give you Bon Jovi quizzes every time you're not a bitch. You're not a bitch. You're privileged. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna give you Bon Jovi quizzes every time You're on the show and I need you to answer. I actually did let me mark his podcast and he did a whole Bon Jovi quiz and I fucking failed so hard.

What about this song? It dad does before when he does the keyboard. So, what is the title that's all? Oh, fuck. you're missing out.
