Churchill, what's happening now?
March.
Who the fuck knows?
Eight, ninth. I don't give a fuck.
It's all about you, motherfuckers tonight.
We're back, like Superfly.
And 74, black people.
Heroin.
The mafia. A couple white people, some Irish people,
shit like that, sprinkled.
You bad motherfuckers.
Superfly.
Uh. Dene Del Rizzer
Yes.
And my favorite Jew, Mr. Lee Syed.
The flying Jews.
Kick that motherfucker, Lee.
What the fuck?
America, Canada, and UK.
What's happening?
You bad motherfuckers, Australia in the house?
Hong Kong.
We got all you motherfuckers on the clock.
Great to be back.
We brought back the music.
We're on New Stream lead.
Tell them what to do to block the fucking ads right now.
All right.
Let's do this.
It's called Ad Block Plus.
Just Google Ad Block Plus.
And if you follow me on Twitter at least I tweeted a link to it.
And from what I've heard, if you install that in your browser,
and it works on your phone too, I think.
It just, it'll take away the ads that you stream plays live.
I am going to try to put this on YouTube.
If it gets pulled down, it gets pulled down.
But we're also going to create a Vimeo account.
So it'll be somewhere.
And the videos are also always live on Ustream.
So if it gets pulled off of YouTube and it's not on you on Vimeo yet,
it is always on you stream on this page.
and for people who are listening and not watching live,
if you just go to joey-d-s.net.
That's where the video is going to live from that one.
You're beautiful, Lisa.
I am, giving all the information.
He's on top of shit flying to you.
What are you fucking nuts?
I have like 20 minutes left of that, so.
Ask any questions you want now after that second.
He's ready to blast off to another dimension.
Fuck, yeah.
That hash is crazy.
Dog, I'm telling you.
I'm breaking out hash back out.
Yeah.
You're bringing it back?
We're going to cut a little weed down.
Okay.
I'm going to smoke a little bit more hash.
out of the glass, I'm gonna get a wooden pipe.
We're gonna old school this.
I have friends that have great fucking hash.
And again, I was forgetting.
I was sprinkling it on marijuana.
And it's really like, it's like putting,
it's like putting bacon on a fucking good cheeseburger sometimes.
I thought you didn't like bacon on cheeseburgers?
No, I don't.
That's what I'm saying?
It's like a hypochundrum.
What do you call that shit when you put two of the same things
on the same fucking thing?
Yeah, yeah.
So it's like vodka and Red Bull.
Yeah.
You know, like it just, but it got hip.
If you really think about it, one side mellows you on, the other side keeps you fucking awake.
Speedball.
Yeah, but it's like a Puerto Rican speedball.
There's no speedball involved.
That's the three minutes.
You're looking at the bro going, my dick is ready to rock.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
If that's a real speedball, your dick is dead than disco.
Oh, fuck.
Yeah, that thing is gone.
Gone inside you.
What's going on, Dean Dowry?
Man, I am so happy to be here.
It's my favorite.
Come down here.
Your new studio, let me tell you something.
I do all my podcasts at my house, and it's like a rock museum,
but I moved to a new place, and it's not set up yet.
So I come in here, and it's just got this vibe.
You know what I loved about it when we were in here?
We were playing some music records.
It reminded me of just being in a buddy's room with the bong out,
and his mom would be in the living room watching soaps.
You know, we're in there just listening to Boston with the blacklight posters
and the weed and the fucking.
And just rock talk, you know, like, listen to that me, you know.
This reminds me of that.
Did you guys have cool rooms as kids?
Like, I met, my mom was so, I was, like, she was stricken.
I was just a vanilla kid.
So it never, I never really decorated it, but like having a bong or some black lights or some vinyl post.
Like, that must have been fine.
I had all the kiss posters and that David Lee Roth one where he's tied up on a chain.
From women and children first.
Yeah, that one boy, that one hung up there.
and the kiss one where they're dressed as army, you know, with the drums and the battle wounds, the U.S. Army.
All those, man.
Another Joey Dia's story people don't know about.
So my mom bought the home in North Bergen.
It was a three-bedroom home.
But the problem was one of the bedrooms was a converted attic.
Yeah.
That to any of us, we would jerk off all over it.
Yeah.
I didn't like it.
It scared me.
I heard mice up there.
Oh, yeah.
Attics are fucking scary.
So I would go down to this one in the bedroom.
There was a bedroom with a, my mom's bedroom was the master bedroom.
I had the bidet, the shower, the tub, the shitter, the window, the whole fucking thing.
Nice.
Two sinks.
And then I had a bathroom in the hallway, but the bedroom I moved into, whoever had the house before, it was a girl's room.
Pink carpet, mirrors everywhere.
Barbie room.
You know how many times people walked in my room and walked into the mirror?
because that mirror was, it looked like a huge room.
You kept the pink carpet?
I kept the pink carpet.
I put like a little wolf on the floor, like this dead wolf that was like a fluffy wolf.
Somebody gave me like a fur.
And I put like, I had the stereo with the speakers who I robbed from the kid across the street.
But then I became friends with him and he wasn't allowed in my upstairs.
Like he would come to the living room, let's go to music.
We can't go upstairs.
My mom don't let boys in my room.
You got the speakers up there?
I had the speakers and the stereo up there.
I had a Jimmy
I had a Led Zeppelin poster
that Ray Canella
The guy who calls in here
The podcast I called a couple weeks ago
He had
And it was Led Zeppelin
On stage
But it was shot backwards
Oh yeah reverse
Left hand
The word on the street
Was that it was a collector's item
And all this shit
I had a picture of Julius Irving
Oh Dr. J
With a net
That long one on the door
Oh yeah
Yeah
That long one
There's this converse right there
those real doctor jay and he was still playing he played for the sixers but at that time they didn't
pay the sixers so it was like a generic costume that he had to wear like they took the sixes off
for the poster for the poster hilarious and then i had the macdonald's all-american basketball team
and i just on the floor next to this thing i had the stack albums yeah and what you know what
what album i still had in there i still remember having the beach boys oh yeah which one round round
get around, I get around.
What were the hits?
That one. I still remember some of my first
20 fucking albums. Like,
the first five or six albums were very
confusing albums. I was still
in the grabs. I told Lee
a joke there. There was somebody, me and Steve
Simone, you know, Richard
Pride was basically the first album
I bought. I don't know if it's something I said
or the nigger's crazy. But when
he sees that he sees Jesus, I knew Jesus.
I met him on the railroad. That's
I told them don't go down there messing with them Jews without no money.
You know, I forgot all about that line and shit.
I had that one in Bicentennial Naker.
Oh, yeah.
And I had them hidden.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Because they had to be hidden.
And then I remember having the Beatles' white album.
I had the Beatles help.
Yeah.
I had, uh, okay, I was like a Michael Jackson dude.
Yeah, yeah.
So I had the last two Jackson albums, moving violation,
and the best of Michael Jackson, who, Miss Pat, argued.
with me. That album didn't exist.
The one with like the bird on the cover?
The pigeon on the cover. He still has the nose.
He still has the black nose.
That's a great fucking greatest hit to album.
I still remember all these albums.
That room was, and I was telling him Lee,
what I would do is at night I'd play records in my fucking bedroom.
But in the daytime, I had a little window.
I could play them on my mom's living room stereo,
which is kick-ass.
It was one of those old-school box of trollers with the turn table
to control on the other side of the TV in the middle.
Yeah, remember that, like it's like an all one piece
fucking piece of furniture piece.
Yes. Guys, one fucking piece of furniture like this table.
Yeah.
This is how long it was? Yeah.
Are you serious?
So it went from here to there, okay?
And it went against the wall.
So on that side was the turntable.
Yep.
On this side was the control for the radio also.
Yeah.
The turntable and A-track player.
And then the TV was in the middle where that thing is that Kevin put on there.
I guarantee those.
things still work. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Those things will work to the fucking end of time. And I know
people who have them. I guarantee if you go on eBay, you know, garage sales, they're out there.
And you're absolutely right. You put a needle from today on there and it's brand new, brand fucking new.
Yeah, you know, I saw a guy, Joey, he did something that was so amazing. He bought one of those
and he gutted it out and then he put high-end stuff in there. So when you looked at it, it was
straight 70s, but then when you
opened it up, it was just all this
great equipment now. It was awesome, man.
Like, just rebuilt the insides with new
shit. It was killer.
Jesus, I just remember something that's so sad, and it was
so sad to me
for a long time, talking about turntable.
So,
the kid's name was Renee.
Renee was Puerto Rican, and when he was
moving into the building, when he was moving
into the house, he
went to pick up more stuff and wherever they were
moving from and we robbed the house.
And mid move.
Mid move, Rob.
So Renee and his dad and the mother moved out of
there. They were like running from credit
creditors and stuff.
But for some reason,
the stereo was fucking weird.
Like, the stereo was just old to me.
Like, I was like, I don't want this stereo no more. I need
some hip to get the chicks up here.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. To be the cool guy on the block.
And on the corner was
this place on four, five corners.
It's still there.
On appliance place.
Yeah.
And the word on the street was you could go in there and get a Fisher stereo.
I think your hands on something.
No, my hands on.
Oh, that's over there.
I'm not worried about it.
Which in the day, a Fisher stereo leave was like fucking tremendous.
This was before Blout Punk.
People started saying, oh, you have a Fisher.
I have a Blout Punk.
I buy components, man.
Remember because everybody got real cool after a while?
Component.
What happened was, and this is why I don't like a cell phone with a
camera and all the shit on it because once the camera breaks you got no phone for some people they can't
live without a fucking camera on the phone i come old school okay i come from the thing that once your
eight track broke yeah the whole stereo had to get thrown out because it was connected to the fucking
cd and the cassette player yeah so here you were with 90 fucking eight tracks what the fuck you're
gonna do now the eight tracks broken okay now i got to buy albums i got the almond brothers live
from the film maur east on eight track and now i got to buy fucking albums so i said enough is enough
Went down to fucking Fisher, whatever that they called, and you gave him 50 bucks down.
And the whole thing came out to like $4.80.
In those days, Lee, $480 for a 13-year-old kid, 14-year-old kid.
It was like $1,200, $1,500, $1,500.
Yeah, it's for a stereo, too.
For a stereo.
And I went and I financed it.
And when I hit the number, I paid it all off.
Wait, they let a 12-year-old kid finance?
My mom co-signed it.
Oh, okay.
My mom had a cosign.
Your mom has to co-sign shit.
But at least you made payments.
You had a-
They gave you a payment book.
They gave you a payment book.
Yeah.
And you had to walk down there every Friday and pay the $15 like a man.
You know, and you felt good.
Like, this was my fucking stereo, man.
Like, this was it.
Like, I took care of this.
I dusted it.
I cleaned the needle.
Like, this was fucking it, you know?
And when my mom died, I never took that stereo.
Oh.
That stereo sat in that fucking room.
God knows what that stereo is today.
It broke my heart.
because I had a tag.
You know when you have it tuned for you.
Like you buy a turntable,
and after a year's through,
the turntable gets to see your style
and how you drop the record and you learn
and you get the needle right.
It was a sad, it was a sad thing in my life
for like three years not having that turntable.
Well, you know, my best friend,
they had the Morantz.
And I told Marin this story,
and it was basically the blue collar
McIntosh. Like
Macintosh was so much money
but the Morantz and
my buddy's dad bought it and
he had the Morant's 2275
and a turntable
a pioneer turntable
and these speakers and we'd play
highway to hell on it and a couple years
back I bought a Morant's
2275 and it's
in my house and
and I always tell people
they go does what sounds good
and I go whatever your ears grew up on
like you know because your ears grew up on a sound and that's the sound your brain remembers forever
so when I hooked this whole thing up and I put on you know a record I was like that's that's it
that's eighth grade right there Moranx yeah man and they had the blue lighting and and the in the
morants had the a weighted wheel for the tuner you just hit it it would go mm you know on a
ballbarian and that was like pro the other ones you had to turn and they're all
funky this one just hit the wheel and it just
and man I got it now in my house
it is weird to describe it is weird to describe
you know I became nerdish
about it that I was even buying magazines
you know me a long time I don't buy magazines
I was buying stereo magazine
high-fi mags funny I was watching vinyl yeah on HBO
how is it
vinyl is an interesting show
it's interesting show
this week they have like a
Sly in the Family Stone type motherfucker.
I saw the picture.
Addable and shit.
You know,
if you like music and you like doing blow,
you know,
and all that craziness,
this is the show for you.
It's just,
I watch it,
and sometimes I go,
what the fuck am I watching?
Yeah.
But it's entertaining.
You know,
it's entertaining to a moron like me
because it's my time.
I was a kid.
I,
all that mean.
Last week,
they sang a song on there two weeks ago
that killed me.
The chick that fucking iced herself.
with the pills
with the brother
Amy Winehouse
No Amy Winehouse
This is the fucking
They started
Oh 70 Jerry I'm sorry
Oh oh
So they're doing real bands
It's like
Stories of real stuff going on
It's really weird
Like the first episode
Is him going into
Have it to talk to Led Zeppelin
Okay
And Peter Grant is yelling on him
Wow
He's selling the record label
To the Germans
Yeah
And then what the second episode
The Germans in the room
And Peter Grant walks in
and he goes, just let you know, I'm not selling, I'm not, I'm leaving you guys, I'm not going to be, I'm not working with Germans.
Yeah, wow.
I don't work with fucking Germans.
They got a guy playing Peter Graham.
Yeah, but he's not really six for six to 300.
He's a little short and he talks a lot.
He tries to redo that scene from, uh, oh, from, yeah, where he's all, you know the man's out there with the posters.
Yeah, you see, he's out there selling posters.
He's out there, he's out there, he's out there, nothing to the name of that.
He's your fucking man.
Yeah.
He's your man.
He's your man.
Not my man.
Yeah.
I love that scene.
And that's, you know, somebody asked me how that scam worked.
You know, in the 70s, this is the most interesting thing I ever read in my life.
I had these FBI files from the 70s.
When I was on the road in the early 98th and 99, I had an FBI buddy who gave me these files
because I told them that they were doing a lot of mafia movies.
And he goes, take these and do the research.
And I can't remember the guy's name right now.
Okay, this is how fucking, Lee's jr.
jaws in the drum.
And I read, this guy was a well-known heroin selling.
Wow.
But if you looked at this guy, he was a businessman.
Yep.
You know, he was the business end of it.
No flash, no nothing.
But he was a Gambino captain that reported straight to Costalano.
Like, he didn't talk to nobody.
Like, that's how much money he was robbing, okay?
When you're robbing that type of money, but his cover was he was on the boy.
the directors of a supermarket chain in New York.
And what they would basically do is, let's say there was 90 of these supermarkets all over
New York and the five boroughs in Connecticut, Lee, they went to each supermarket and built
an aisle.
I told you about this.
They built an aisle like on the express line.
Yeah.
And that went right to them.
Wow.
Like years later, a general manager goes, every store in the country has ten aisles.
Every store here has 11.
Why is that?
So the 10 registers they were giving,
but the one register was going right to this guy.
That's the payoff.
He had 90 stores going.
An entire register.
Can you imagine what he got like Thanksgiving, July 4?
You think it was 3,000 a day.
There's 90 of them.
Yeah, yeah.
There's 90 of them.
A day.
Let's say you pay 300 for somebody to make the move
and pay you that money every fucking a day.
What do you kill the fuck?
Yeah, fuck, yeah.
So what they were doing in the garden was the mob was, yeah.
Yeah, Led Zeppelin had their people.
But was Peter Grant going to walk on every floor of the garden and everything?
Right.
So they just put up stands.
Yeah, yeah.
In the garden?
Yeah.
Because they still have that now.
Like, whenever I go to a game or a concert, they have people with bootleg t-shirts outside.
Yeah.
But I can't imagine them inside the venue.
Yeah, but this was the mob itself at the garden.
This was the union.
It's all union.
It's all union.
The green coats.
So the union would say, Lee,
give me a favor, come here, listen,
I'm going to give you 20 T-shirts.
Sell them for $10.
You get $3 a T-shirt.
What do you give a buck?
Sell them until somebody comes and gets you.
Yeah.
Sell them.
Who cares for fun?
At that table, like,
when you're walking around,
like the concession area.
In there.
He had them in there.
In the fucking.
Never mind outside.
That was a complete different operation.
Yeah, that's somebody else.
This is the one inside.
This is the one inside.
Inside like that.
actual like what? Yeah. So finally, you know, Led Zeppelin would do five nights at the
garden. Finally after the third night, you would go up to Lee and go leave. Who's the Fettl Italian-looking
guy? Yeah. With the stand, with programs and fucking T-shirt. He's not our guy. He's not
one of us. Yeah. Oh my God. So let's say I cut a deal with Peter Grant and said,
well, listen, we're going to have one concession stand and that 30% goes to the garden. Yeah. I told
them about three. I'm going to have 15 of them.
Yeah.
And the band wouldn't know. The band's busy
playing. Yeah. And also
they didn't have big entourage. It'd be like
six guys working with them.
You know, they're not combing the whole
place. So that was just another way. So that's the scene
in the ceremony is the saying that we're
talking about at Peter Grant is
going off on the union guys.
And nobody knows what the fuck is going on.
It's all stolen. It's amazing how
smart criminals are.
Fucking
opening up
a bootleg
stand,
it's amazing that they could even think.
Who would fucking think to question it?
Imagine how much they were making on stuff like
like the Ringland Brothers circus.
They did that everything.
Yeah, yeah, all the events.
Yeah.
Until you get caught.
Did they do like the Knicks too?
Every event until you get caught.
No, well, the Knicks are theirs.
Yeah, yeah, that's this.
The Knicks are in-house.
They're not going to rob themselves.
Oh, okay.
You know what I'm saying?
They're going to rob the least events that come in like my life.
The touring events.
Like my wife works at the Hollywood Bowl.
They book it, and then there's a promoter who books 50 of them.
They can't get your tickets.
They got nothing to do with that.
They get a check.
They can negotiate a rent-off fee, and they sell T-shirts and sodas and beers, and they keep that.
But the rest goes to the fucking dude.
Fuck.
Awesome.
How many of these scams are just in everyday businesses that we're unaware of?
Well, I'll tell you what.
This is something crazy, man.
I go to the Will Turn a lot, and it's over in, uh, over there in, uh, Korea town.
Bless you.
And these guys, these bootleger guys, they don't, they don't even, they're not even
afraid anymore.
It used to be, they'd be like five blocks away.
They're right at the front door when you come out now.
And I'm like, what's going on?
Like, these guys don't get arrested.
There's cops everywhere and everything.
And they're just like, nah, they pay someone off.
You know what I mean?
Well, like I said, they'll, they'll, you know, I mean?
Excuse me, I'm very sorry.
You got allergies.
They're very, they keep doing until they get caught.
So let's say Ringling Brothers and Bonham and Bailey,
they do a three fucking nightstand at the garden.
Yeah.
Okay.
And I'm sure the same thing is done at the Boston Garden.
Don't think that they're fucking immune to the shit even.
Everywhere.
You know, everywhere.
You know, when the fucking team comes to play at the Boston.
The Garden?
The baseball place.
Oh, yeah, Fenway.
They only have six guys selling white sock stuff,
but they got three guys selling white stock stuff,
and that goes in their fucking pocket.
You'd be surprised, late.
Yeah.
You'd be surprised how much little theft there is
that to you and me, it's little,
but at the end of the year, it's monumental.
And I forget what company it was,
but I read a story a while ago
that somehow this one guy figured out
that if they put one less olive in every jar,
it would save them millions of dollars a year.
So they just started putting in one less,
because no one's going to say anything about...
Who's counting?
You know?
If it says 29 piece, you're not counting.
Can't even remember.
You whipped out some olives to, you know, for some martinis.
You don't go, hey, we got robbed on one.
Even if you do, you go, oh, we're missing one.
Who cares?
And then there's scams like, I would guarantee,
I don't know the percentage,
but I would guarantee a very large portion
of Apple's entire revenue
is iTunes money.
It has to be.
All they're doing is selling the music
and their computer store.
And then fucking airlines,
how many billions of dollars
are they making on baggage fees?
Just baggage fees, not even tickets.
So let's say
there's a stewardess,
there's a clerk,
okay,
that she'd found out a way
to type in numbers
so that you don't have to pay for baggage fees,
but she still charges you.
Yeah.
I'm sure.
Everything is very computerized now,
but there's always a genius.
There is.
People always find the flaw.
And it's not even geniuses.
Like,
there's something,
when I worked at CVS,
there was a button called, like,
non-taxable,
and you could just put in a price.
If I was a thief,
I could just put everything as one cent
and then take the cash
if I knew what the price was,
because after a while,
if someone buys a soda
and you figure out with tax,
it's 204, whatever,
you need something bigger than that, obviously,
but you can figure out the prices and just charge them whatever.
I told you when Michael Dell was here,
that I worked at that car wash.
Right, yeah.
And I remember, like, going home and going,
like, I'm robbing these guys legitimately for $6,000 a month.
That's just me taking from them.
What about the partner I got?
Yeah.
She's robbing them for six.
That's $12,000 a month.
They're going to be off a buck dirty next year.
Yeah.
And they're going to go, what?
the fuck is happening.
Or not.
Or not, yeah.
Or not because maybe we weren't the only people robin.
I knew we weren't the only people robin.
There was a guy around the back that was robin blind,
a black guy and his brother that were detainers.
They were detailing ten cars and saying they only had three.
Yeah.
You know, and they're taking six off the top.
Anytime there's cash transactions and it's like piecework, like detailing and, you know.
What about when you park your car?
Yeah, the car parkers, all that kind of stuff.
You figure out you could take 100 a night right off the top.
Yep.
Okay, the other day I went to wash my car.
It was funny because I had a bunch of change in the middle.
When I got back in, the change was still there.
And I was like, you know what, he could take a quarter from every car.
Yeah.
How do I know?
Because I used to do that.
I used to work in certain.
I used to be a car salesman in Manhattan when I was doing comedy in 93.
There was nights I didn't have money to go home.
I would go into service
and go through the fucking cars.
Yeah, get some change.
And find fucking books.
I would find tokens to get over the bridge
and those books to fucking with $4 books.
Oh, yeah.
And I would go right to the bridge
and sell them to somebody.
Hey, there's 10 of them.
That's 40 bucks.
Give me 20.
Yeah.
Boom.
Yeah.
There's dudes in the Bay Area.
Bart, you know, the subway there.
And whenever you roll up, man,
there's guys that have,
some kind of bootleg cards and stuff and they're like hey over here man just give me a dollar
and i'll give you a round trip which is like nine dollars you know here they've got like
slider cards and and those other guys that are running with the uh fake cards for the gas pumps
and stuff you know they sell them to truckers and then they're like just filling up their trucks
till the cards burn up you know well what about the people i saw this vice video about like the
heroin addicts in England are going and stealing meat from all the grocery stores and selling it boot, like black market, just door to door.
How crazy.
Yeah.
Why not?
It's like the copper guys, robbing those houses for all the copper.
The copper.
I did all that from shit, so I understand.
I get what it is to steal a steak from a super mile.
I live in Snowmass Village.
I would go in there every night and a head of lettuce and an Oscar Miles.
salami thing yeah but I would steal a $10 fucking steak in my backpack I did it every
night yeah and you know it adds up I feel guilty for doing it today but I did it
it's a fucking true and I was doing blow and I wasn't doing blow those nights I just
know I could steal a steak for free and some nights I got cocky I stole two steaks yeah
and some nights I stole two steaks on a lobster tail for Jimmy Berkel that's how crazy I
got in there I get all this shit and now in hindsight you feel kind of bad no
way that I did these things.
When I worked at Rendell Lumber,
oh my God, when I was 15, 16, 17,
I worked at a lumber yard.
Dean Delray, what I did to these people was brutal.
It was brutal.
I think back to there, I paid for all those cents.
Brutal.
It wasn't just, it was $2,000 a week in lumber.
I was stealing from them.
You know, the sheet supply wood were $40, $80.
I'm getting $25 a sheet.
Give me $25 cash.
People coming and getting 20 sheets from me on a Saturday.
you know,
fucking installation.
Not,
not,
uh,
this,
what's this shit
called tile on?
Oh yeah.
What they put on the walls?
Yeah.
No,
the other one.
Uh,
travel?
No,
the shit that's designed.
Oh,
like the fucking linoleum
and stuff.
That kind of stuff on the walls.
Yeah.
I used to sell the four by eights people
come in and go,
don't know.
The last guy was here
would charge me dirty a sheet.
Fuck it right back here.
Let's cut the fucking deal.
You know,
that guy would come back there and go,
I only made $20,000 today.
Every bin is fucking,
fucking.
empty.
Yeah.
We used to have
plywood that was
galvanized so we
could put it on boats
marine plywood
it's called.
Those were double
the money.
I would sell those
for fucking all the dope.
People would just
back up their
fucking trucks
and I'd just go back
there and help
and load it up.
They'd give me cash.
Yeah.
See you later.
Fucking buy.
I remember I used
to have a gas
key and
fucking a guy
gave me a gas
key.
This is when gas
went up to
like a dollar
for you'll find
People are like, oh, shit, it's a dollar.
And the old pumps before their computer,
they're just a...
Remember those?
And then, you know, when you put the pump away,
it turns it off and it couldn't start again
until the guy came over with a key and turned it.
And then it would reset and you could pump gas.
So we would...
One guy would just distract the dude working at the station
and then you'd pump, and then when he wasn't looking,
you'd turn the key and pump again,
turn the key.
and then you'd go up and you'd go, all right, five bucks,
but you had already filled up like 25, you know, whatever.
Because you could just turn it and reset it.
I had the key forever, man.
People would be like, you got that key, let me borrow it, you know?
You'd have to distract the dude.
One guy was a two-man team.
It's so crazy, what, the amount of theft.
You know, when people go to work, you know, you are or whatever.
And on your company time, you go on the computer,
and you're looking at point on and walking off.
in your cubicle, that's theft.
Right, yeah.
You know, all those simple things are fucking theft.
You know, and they add up.
They fucking add up.
You know, corporations are thieves.
I mean, I don't feel bad for them.
They rob everybody.
American Airlines, all those motherfuckers.
You know, when you call American Airlines,
you're talking to some poor fucking black chick
who got beat up last night,
and they got her in there for the small 40
with no benefits booking people of Jamaica and shit.
Meanwhile, this chick hasn't got out of the hood
her whole fucking life.
I'm only teasing you.
But, you know, when I robbed, when I was a kid and I robbed in those businesses,
okay, like Lee, Lee goes, criminals are smart.
This fucking guy I worked for when I was 18, you rang up the fucking receipts,
and then at the end of the night you zed out.
Yeah.
You closed the register.
You counted the money.
You counted your bank out.
You counted, if it said, $1,800, and you counted $1860.
Well, you made $60 extra.
That one in your pocket.
You put 1,800 in the envelope.
You put the fucking receipt in there.
And you licked it, and you put it in a fucking refrigerator.
And you put the date on it.
That was it.
Tipped.
I took the fucking tip money.
That was mine.
Whatever I made over on the register was mine.
And it was that simple.
Well, one man, I'm doing blowing the city.
And I'm like, where can I get some money?
I go, wait a second.
I got the key of the bar.
I just go over there and steal on those envelopes.
So at first, I stole like two envelopes.
the fucking Puerto Rican than I am.
Yeah.
And then, they said something to all the bartenders.
Somebody stealing an envelope,
when they get to the bottom of this.
So I figured out a different way to do it.
I just went and saw the envelopes she used,
and I went and bought boxes of those envelopes.
And I would go in there at night,
open up their envelope, take the new envelope,
put it in, and then take 100 off the tops.
Whoever closed the night before we sure the yards stay.
Yeah, you're off 100.
Fucking cruelty, you know.
Who would think of that disgusting stuff, Lee?
I would.
Yeah, Trague.
drugs.
That's what drugs make you think about.
How to score fucking money.
Absolutely.
Drugs make you think like that.
Because you're like, man, this Coke back then was, it was 350 an eight ball.
You know, it was 25 a quarter gram.
There was no breakdowns unless you bought like an ounce, you know.
It was like 25, 50, 75, 100.
100 a gram.
350 for an eight ball, three and a half grams.
So, I mean, that's a lot of fucking money.
In the 70s and 80s, you're like, where am I going to get that money?
You know?
Do you think how much of it was it just you are a good worker, like have a good work ethic,
and how much of it was all those years of drug stuff, just you were really well.
You trained in hustling and now you're just pointing it towards like actual business.
It was a little bit of both.
My mom had me working on an early age, but even then, like I'm an early age.
I knew how to flip things.
Yeah, me too.
Like, I was doing creepy things at, like, 8 and 9.
You know, like, buying glue for Sticky Charlie and charged him 25 cents more, even though he was a junkie.
Yeah.
You know, I tried to fucking, that's not a liar of a story.
That's a true fucking story.
I tried to sell this kid.
Let's say glue was a quarter of two.
I tell him 50 fucking cent and try to shake him down.
And most days, I got this fucking loser to give me a 50 fucking cents, you know.
We did shit like that.
I remember we sold Bubble Yom.
When Bubble Yom first came out, it was unheard of.
And this one store sold it miles away.
And we'd ride our bike up there on Sunday, and we'd buy like 10 packs for, it was a quarter.
And then we'd sell pieces at school a quarter of piece because no one's seen Bubble Yom.
That shit was next level.
Square big piece of gum.
Unbelievable flavor.
Delicious.
Oh, and it was like a quarter of piece.
We're making money hand over a fit.
And then for a while,
Bubble Yum went off the market
because it said it had like red dye number five in it or something.
And it was gone for like a year.
It was like Bubliam's gone.
What the fuck happened?
And then it came back.
And by then it was in every store.
But back in the day, this one market had it.
It was like a Chinese market.
Had Bubble Yum.
In the eighth grade,
I had a shop right behind McKinley School,
where I went to school and grammar school.
It was a...
That was my grammar school's name, McKinley.
There was an embroidery factory, a bridge, and then there was this shop right.
And shop right at an aisle just for gum.
And they had hubba bubba and bubble yon.
And we used to steal a case of bubble yumb, which is like 10 packages in a case in our pants.
And one of us could get caught, the other one would run, and we'd go back to the school.
And I still remember sitting in the eighth grade in Miss Walsh's class and all of us eating bubble y'
and also somebody went to the front of the class
to write something on the board,
people started throwing pieces of bubble yum
at this motherfucker, right? That shit was
good, right? And it hit hard,
and it hit like it was hitting the ball, like,
thaw, and I remember the janet
came in with a ladder to fix something.
And somebody threw a piece of gum
and went right between the line.
And it clocked them, right?
This is the funniest thing ever. It clocked them.
And some kid, Richie Columbo
was known to be crazy. He was walking in
in the bathroom.
Yeah.
And the janet,
there's all in the face,
and he goes,
Richie goes,
what happened to you?
And the Johnny goes,
somebody hit me in the face with a piece of gum.
Richie goes,
what flavor was it?
It just walked away from the fucking guy.
That's the dumb shit in my fucking world that I remember.
Man,
remember they had the next bubble yum that came out was grape.
And that was like,
that was like,
that was like,
fucking next level.
People went to the next level.
Oh, grape bubble gum.
I still remember when that gum came out.
with the squirt in your mouth.
Oh, freshen up.
Fresh and up.
Dude, that was the shit.
Once cinnamon came out, you lost your fucking mind, dog.
Dude, that was the shit.
That was the shit.
Fresh enough with that fucking jelly in the middle that just got your fat as fuck.
Yeah.
It didn't do nothing to your breath.
You still smell like Cheerios.
Just shot more sugar in your system.
Captain Chocula, you lose your fucking mind.
And that gun will get your jaws tighter than fuck, Jack.
You throw three pieces of bubble yum in your fucking mouth.
And you'd be working that fucking jaw.
Yeah.
Remember next was Big League chew?
Oh, that was delicious.
I'd eat a whole fucking bag and I'd swallow the fucking thing.
Yeah, right?
I'd swallow the whole fucking bag.
I'd eat it and then swallow that big leaf.
Are you still shitting it out?
Sure.
I'm still shitting up gum from 1978.
Yeah, I'm shitting out gummy bears.
My entire life.
I loved all that stuff.
Me too.
When I was growing up, there was a candy store, like an old wholesale candy store on Dumbie Avenue.
They sold to other bodegas and stuff like that,
but they had this thing called devil gum.
It was way before...
Big red?
Big red, way before Big Red.
This was when cinnamon was still uncensored.
You'd eat two pieces of this shit,
and your fucking face would turn redder than fuck.
But it was so delicious.
The gum was so delicious.
It was like that gum from Clark.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, I love that shit.
Remember that gum from Clark?
Oh, yeah.
They still sell that.
The 101 cafe.
For $1.50, they sell those things.
Yeah, and bee chums?
Beechums.
Yeah, yeah.
Beechim, and that shit there has a texture.
It's fucking great.
That gum has a different texture.
Like, chicklets don't taste like that no more.
No.
Every time you go to liquor store, it's always fucking hard.
Now they took the mini-chicklets off the market,
which is the only reason I was going to CVS.
I haven't boycotted them legally yet.
I haven't got on a national fucking boycott yet.
I don't know it yet.
But they used to have the little chicklets in the package.
I would buy four of them.
I love that.
It was like the paper package.
Yeah, and you eat the fucking whole thing at one shot,
and you're spitting orange chicklets the whole day.
One sits behind your molar.
The next thing you know, you've got to go talk to the dentist.
You got a little chickup behind your fucking thing.
They took those off the market.
The chicklets are always hard.
God forbid you get a freshen up.
You need 10 jaws, a chick who sucked 100 dicks in spring training
to bust into that fucking walnut of gum.
Half these gums, and if these Hindu stores, they're always hard.
And the flavor goes away in one second now.
One fucking second.
What is that?
You just chew it like for a minute.
spit it out.
Listen, that'll make nothing like they used to no more.
You're a fucking piece of gum that's a flavor.
And you chew that motherfucker down to the stem.
Lee, what's going on?
You're ready for another star?
You're going to sit down like a mama looking at you?
I'm good.
I don't think I need another star.
Yes, you need a lot of fucking things.
Did you eat dinner?
What did you do today?
What do today?
I had a podcast with Johnny Rock and
just worked out,
worked here during the day.
That's all.
Me, Doug.
I'm going to watch you like a fucking home.
Dude, I tell you the 8.
DC DC story. Talk to me about ACDC. What's going on? All right. So yesterday I was on serious radio for a couple hours. So my phone was off. And when I came out, one of my best friends, Billy Rowe from the band Jet Boy, who had a great record out in the 80s, he texted me. And I'll read you the text because it's, it threw me for a loop. And I still can't believe it. And a lot of people would know, but this was the text. He hits me.
with breaking news,
Brian Johnson forced to cancel remaining ACDC shows
facing potential permanent hearing loss.
The band is going to make up shows with special guest singer.
So I was like, what?
This can't be real.
You know what I mean?
I just saw ACDC three weeks ago.
Brian Johnson killing it at the MGM.
Me and Lucas Hurl just down there fucking rocking.
Saw ACDC three times this year.
Every time Brian killing it.
So then I got a Rolling Stone.
They announce it.
And boom, that's it.
I go to their website.
That's all it says.
I'm like, what the fuck?
Then I start thinking overnight.
I'm like, this sounds kind of funky.
Because they only have 10 dates left on the tour.
Why would they even bother with a guest singer after 36 years?
And, you know, why not just blow the dates out?
You're billionaires.
So then I start thinking about it and I think, wait a minute, I think like Brian Johnson quit or got fired or something and they're just going to carry on.
So today, my buddy says that he heard that I'm going to read it to you.
This is insane.
Brian Johnson quit or was forced to quit due to deafness.
replacement is a guy
named Jimmy Barnes.
This is all
hearsay.
A guy named Jimmy Barnes.
Huge guy from,
can you fire that up?
From Australia,
a singer,
older dude,
I guess one of old A-C,
this is all allegedly,
you know,
I don't know what's going on.
But it's like insane to me
to think that like
at the end of this
incredible career,
ACDC's had that they would just go, let's put another guy in there and just keep rolling.
That makes no sense to me.
If your guy, let's say you and I are in a ban for 36 years and then you go, I can't hear
anymore, we did it, you know, and Malcolm's gone.
Phil Rudd's out because of the crystal meth and they're trying to hire someone to kill someone,
it's over.
It's over.
And it's the last guy.
Just say, hey, we had a fucking kill.
run. So it's just
blowing my mind. So I did a full podcast
today on it. And websites
are already like talking about
potential singers because nobody really
knows, but from what I'm hearing, it's
this Jimmy Barnes guy. It's
crazy. Oh, here we go.
So go to the tube or no?
Yeah, what's on doing on. Okay, YouTube. Just put in Jimmy
Barnes and I'll
show you which one to listen to because
so my buddy hit me from Australia
today who works for Gibson Guitar.
cars and he said this Jimmy Barnes guy
go to that one there
Jimmy Barnes
Joe Bonamaso
right there
yeah
he said this guy was like
a legend
in Australia
a legend
and like if he
joined in Australia it would be big
but everywhere else people would be like
because they still say they're going to play like the garden and stuff
I don't know who's you know
so check them out here
let's see if they're
Yeah. Let's see if we can hear.
He's that guy on the right there.
Should I skip forward a little bit?
Yeah, I think so. Let's see here.
I was checking it today. His voice.
Super Jam. Something to B3 right there.
Okay, here we go.
Joe Bonhamasa. That guy's killer, man.
Right?
One night I got really stoned and watched like a ton of his videos.
Killer, right?
Different singers and different things.
Yeah.
Pretty interesting to watch.
He wears the suit.
Yeah.
With the glasses and everything?
With the glasses.
Yeah.
And he fucking rocks.
Keep going.
Yeah, let's find.
Let's get to the voice.
Let's just get to the singing and we'll move on.
Yeah.
Tell it.
Let's see.
Where's the singing at?
This whole thing on YouTube.
Oh, here we go.
It kind of looks like Brian, right?
You know, bro, I got to be honest with you.
This is my fucking beef.
Yeah.
You know, like, all right, I went to see Bond with Ted Nugent.
Yeah.
I went to a lot of things.
I believe in evolution and stuff like that.
Brian Johnson was great, you know, for me.
But once I got into what I got into, I got into it.
Yeah, it didn't really.
After for those to about the rock, we salute you.
I was pretty much done.
I saluted it, DC, D.C.
You know, and I moved on.
And there's some stuff I like.
You know, it's like we spoke with Rudy.
These bands are fucking great right now.
They're at the bat.
Like you said, 30, six years.
And what, 10 years before that with Angus or with Bond?
Yeah, like 10 years.
You know, that's 46 years of playing together.
You're as tight as can be.
But, you know, I don't know, Brian John, I don't even know.
I don't even know.
And you're right.
At this point, just go away.
Yeah.
Just go away.
And when Brian Johnson gets better and he could do three songs,
we'll do a farewell show on TV,
which you guys are billionaires anyway, who cares?
It's like, you know, they...
Well, how real do you think the sound loss thing is, Dean,
I mean, you played for years?
Well, my question is,
this is all I thought about.
And this is just because this is my favorite band of all time.
In my mind, I was thinking,
and this is just my insanity,
they did the new record a year ago, rock or bust.
So they worked on that record a year before.
So they're two years in.
So Brian Johnson, Sixth,
So maybe he goes in. He goes, look, I'm 65 right now. Let's do this one. Malcolm's out. He's got dementia. We'll fucking do the baseball stadiums. They sold 2.7 million tickets this year. Only number two to Taylor Swift. They go, we'll do the- That's amazing. That's insane. That's insane. Yeah. How many dates? Do you know, roughly? I don't know, but it wasn't a lot. And you can look that up. So then they, I think maybe they have a big meeting. It's like a corporation. He goes, look, we'll just do this run.
and it'll be incredible.
We'll go out on top with a record and a huge fucking tour.
And now here it is.
It's been two years almost.
And I think Angus was like, let's, let's keep going.
And maybe he went, man, what do he mean?
Keep going.
We just, let's just, you know, because they dropped these dates out of nowhere last month.
And people were surprised like, what are these dates?
Hurl and I went.
We were like, this is crazy.
They're playing again.
I thought it was over, you know.
So maybe Angus was like, we're going to do more dates all the way through 2017 or something.
And he was like, no, man.
And then maybe they just said, all right, well, you know, we're going to keep going.
I saw a tour that just got announced that when I saw it, I didn't really react to it.
But then I thought about it throughout the day.
And I'm like, this could either be a fucking kick-ass show.
Yeah.
Or this could be a bust out.
And I guarantee it's going to be a kick-ass show.
Let me guess the one.
Hit me.
Def Leopard Aria Speedwagon
That one? Okay
Bad Company
And Joe Walsh
Oh yeah, right?
Oh, they're playing like the Greek or something
That's gonna be
Oh
Fucking craziness Lee
Like that that's like a slow finger in the ass
Like people are like ah
But there's some people that I'm going
Oh fuck yeah
Let's go to that
Just bad company alone
If that guy could still pipe it out
Yeah
That guy could still pipe it out
And they could still play like motherfuckers
So just that
alone. Never mind Joe Walsh comes out there and does a few of his jams and then starts doing maybe
somebody shows up, you know, from the Eagles. You never fucking know. James gang stuff.
Something. This is, this could be a dangerous fucking show that you sit there and go, wow.
And then they all play together at the end. That would be sick? No, I'm just saying. They did that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Came out and they just did like feel like making love or an old free song like
fire and water.
Great things are happening in fucking music.
Yeah.
Like, you look at the Hollywood Bowl schedule.
It's phenomenal.
You look at the garden schedule.
It's phenomenal.
There's some great fucking bands.
And there's a lot of stuff I don't know.
But, you know, for you to be, it just adds to something.
Today I was into serious.
Chris Cornell's coming back.
Yeah, I saw that.
Now, when is he coming?
I don't know.
They just announced it yesterday.
I saw the dates.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's doing like Santa Barbara Bowl.
That place is great.
You ever go there?
No.
Oh, fuck.
It's so weird.
You walk up through like a neighborhood.
Like it looks like you're walking up to Runyon Canyon and you're about to go hiking and you walk up like a dirt road and you turn behind a guy's backyard.
And it's this fucking incredible bowl that's been there since like the 30s or something, you know?
I saw Black Crow's Oasis there.
Unbelievable.
I saw my morning jacket there.
And it is beautiful.
You got to look at that thing online.
Man.
It's a miniature, miniature.
her Hollywood Bowl, really small and badass.
But that's a great place to see shows, man.
It's worth the drive.
You go out, you see a band, you get a hotel for the night,
and chill in Santa Barbara.
It's funny, you said you went to Atomic Records yesterday.
Yeah.
And I'm trying to make it my weekly thing, just so it's like a hobby for me.
Like 3.30.
I have to pick the baby up at 5.30.
So 3.30 gives me an hour over there.
I'll meet you over there.
And an hour to get home, you know, whatever,
to put the albums away.
and then I sit there and jerk off on the albums
that I bought pretty much, you know?
So once we got to the new studio,
my friend Damon gave me a turntable for Christmas.
So great.
I said, this is the time.
This was my hobby when I was a kid.
It brings me back a little bit.
Even my wife asked me when we walked out of Atomic today.
She goes, I'm surprised you don't go down there
and play more music.
I go, you know, with this peep in the daytime.
You know, nobody in the day.
In the building here?
Yeah, I'd have this on full fucking speed ad.
All day long, I'd be down here.
with loud music, smoking bones.
That's your office, man.
This is it.
This is your back-to-basics office.
Fucking great.
So I made a list of albums that I really wanted to get.
And every time I go to either amoeba, anywhere else,
I couldn't fucking find them.
And if I did find them, they were fucking off-the-charts expensive.
Yeah, and not clean.
No, I went to Amazon yesterday.
Lee and I were on the phone.
And I went to Amazon yesterday to find animals from Pink Floyd.
They went 79 bucks.
You know, it's rare, but it's like, like new for 80 fucking bucks.
And one part of me wants to pay it, but the other part of me is like, Joey, you bought the sound for $7.95.
I saw one yesterday, man, for $25.
I'll grab it for it.
Where?
At Freak, what's it called?
This is another great record store on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks.
This place, all their records are phenomenal.
And I've been going there since, like, first of the United States.
For years, because they used to have like, here it is, Freak Beat Records.
And it's crazy.
They got animals in there.
I saw it, $25.
And I've got two copies of animals because it's so great.
I don't want to, you know, I don't want to wear one out.
That's my favorite, man.
Dogs, all that stuff.
All that.
The whole album is fucking phenomenal.
So I just wanted to get back into something.
I wanted to get back into something that was real important to me when I was young.
And I tried to pitch a show called Beyond the Slee,
but it's really tough to pitch a music show.
Yeah.
Because you have to reach out to the writers and all these companies.
They were telling me about a story where somebody at CIA got okay to use somebody's song.
But then when they really went to check, the song was written by six people.
Yeah.
So it was like a fucking nightmare.
Like in courts and petitions and like, listen, just stay away from music.
So the only other way we could do it is on the podcast
Just to sit with a particular album and whatever

Like just that's real old school black music
You think those black motherfuckers worried about diversity in the Oscars?
They didn't give a fuck.
They were getting their dick sucked.
They were smoking weed.
And they were doing what they loved.
They didn't care that they.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Do what you love and that overcomes the racism.
Who gives a fuck?
Listen to this shit.

Oh, yeah. You dropped the bomb on me.
The other one, early in the morning.
How about rubber band, man?
Jesus Christ, this is just too much.
I was watching it.
I went back to the house and watched some of their videos.
Yeah.
But see if we get this video on late.
Other video for it?
Yeah.
I think we opened up the show.
We opened up the show with this one before.
This is when fucking Black people.
People were black people.
They didn't give a fuck about stupid shit.
They weren't getting shot because they didn't give a fuck.
They would just mind their own goddamn business.
But now everybody wants to be nosy-rosy.
Then you get shot.
Look, they even have the chicken in the beginning.
They don't fuck around.
It'll leave.
Early in the morning, the gap at that.
This is crazy.
So great.
Look at this.

The drummers and sticks are on fire.
Still, yeah.
And then they didn't get my fuck.

Everybody's coming.

He's going to learn how to play the fucking.

Gotta find me in love.
Oh shit.
In the morning.
I have a good fucking time of bed.
Oh, so good.
Look at that big old warehouse there at.
In the morning.
They got like the kiss-style stage with the stairs.
You know?
This has to be the early 80s, late 70s.
What's it say, Lee?
Gotta be the late 70s.
Like maybe 79, 80.
Don't turn it off, Lee.
And it's Vivo.
Oh.
So you always wanted to be the bass player in the 70s, man, because it just had that sound and the move.
Look at that guy.
They didn't even show the guitar guys.
They're way up there.
Look.
I'm speechless.
Yep.
I love all this shit.
I love all this shit.
This is what America was fucking built on right here.
Just when you saw this, you're like,
I don't give a fucking if I hate black people.
I like this shit right here.
This is great.
I don't give a fuck, Jack.
This is it right here.
This is Julius Irving.
Check the moves are incredible.
I like towards the end of this jam.
They don't fucking stop.
Look at the girls.
They're union.
They haven't stopped for 22 minutes.
Yep.
Look at them.
They got a piano and ain't nobody playing it.
That's when you know you're a bad motherfucker.
Look at this bass player.
Not giving a fuck.
Look at them now.
Yep.
Oh, 1988.
What the fuck you think you're dealing with?
Do me a favor.
Yeah.
Look up the Brothers Johnson.
Oh, yeah.
Drop the bomb on me?
No.
Not Strawberry Fields.
Who did that one?
The Brothers Johnson had two big heads.
They used to go to the comedy store.
They were friends with Chewy, the Dorman.
The brothers Johnson were these,
all right, you're going to look for, I'll be good to you.
Oh, Strawberry Letter 23.
That too.
Yeah, they covered that.
That was great.
These guys were, uh,
this was,
Midnight Special.
This is one of these shows guys I always talk about
that you went home on Friday nights,
and this was on.
Before you left the house,
you got the TV guide,
and you opened it up,
and you saw who was going to be on either a Midnight Special
or Don.
John Curse's rock concert.
That's right.
And you fucking made it a point to get home.
Click at Lee.
Okay.
It's dope.
Look at the logo.
I was 13 years old, but I still remember these two fucking knuckleheads.
Oh, yeah.
It's a great song.
Yeah.
Left-handed.
Oh shit.
I was in the fucking seventh grade the second time when this came on.
I was in every night listening to this type of music.
I fucking love this shit.
Me too.
Love this shit, man.
And right now it's Midnight Special, so it's semi-live.
Yeah.
It's a backing track and they're trying to sing, but I'll be good to you.
Here we go.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just great shit, guys, from the 70s.
this uh...
What about
one of my favorites
that really knocked me out
band called Lakeside
it's all the way live
check it out Lee
this was the band that made me want to play bass
and I didn't
I never even knew there was a difference
when I was a kid
from bass or guitar
you know what I mean
I didn't understand
four strings was the low end
and I remember I was at this house
and this guy goes oh he's playing bass
and he whipped one out
I guess one of these, I used to play bass.
And he was doing the bass line.
I was like, whoa.
And then later I thought, oh, Gene Simmons plays bass.
I want to play bass.
So check it out.
If I'm wrong, but weren't they the first R&B rap group?
Yeah, that was rap.
You know, like slide, slide, slip in the slide.
Forget about the top of the night.
Yeah.
That's the shit.
Are they going to show it?
Here we go.
Here it is.
This is the shit.
See, this is later off.
There's the man.
Yeah. Yeah.
This is the shit.
This is crazy shit.
Great, right?
But, you know, all these black bands had that really, you know, from Rick James.
Yep.
Let's go standing on the top.
Rick James with the temptations.
Try that motherfucker here.
You know, I forgot all about that.
Rick James is a fucking heavy-duty bass player.
Oh, man, he's insane.
Dude, his bass playing, man.
All that stuff on, you know, Life is a Gets.
ghetto or whatever?
Oh, let's see that.
It's called standing on the top.
There you go.
Yeah.
There you go.
Watch his bass playing on this shit.
This is some of my favorite shit in the world, people.
I don't know why.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry if you don't like this.
I'm just trying to give you the fucking, because, you know.
David Ruffin was my man, man.
David Ruffin.
This is David Ruffin.
This is my man, too.
Shh.
Look at this shit.
David Ruffin.
Kick that Lee.
What's in the butt?
That fucking base.
This is when they all came back.
Yeah.
Like there were two temptation bands going on.
Wow.
Kick it, Lee.
Listen to that fucking bass.
What?
David Ruffin.
Eddie Kendix?
Yep.
Look at this.
This was USA May, bitches.
Yeah.
This is as good as it gets, cock suck.
This is the best.
This is it.
Look at Rick James from the top, Lee Syatt.
Yeah.
Look at this big black motherfucker.
Burning white holes at crack pipes.
Oh, shit.
Burning white hose.
Look at him.
Come on.
I mean, this is where P-Funk got all the sound from.
This is it, man.
Yeah.
Here we go.
He's ruffin.
Yeah.
Look at him.
Smoking, fucking cracked skinny.
Yes.
With the glasses on?
Look at his teeth are fucked up by this point.
Oh.

Yeah.
He did it twirls in the microphone.
Look, he's a skeleton.
Look at him.
Yeah.
Freaks fans.

What?
He's my favorite.
Look at fucking Rick.
Oh shit.
Sick.
Go Lee.
Here we go.
This is fucking sick.
Don't you understand it what I'm talking about.
Italy, you bad motherfucker.
We fucking understand it.
I'm telling you.
This is the backbone to America that has been disrespect and shit.
Cox.
Oh, David.
Oh, he did the devil horns.
See that?
This is the real deal.
It's the real deal.
I got emotional.
Yeah.
We got the phone.
Yeah.
Sick.
Look at that.
God bless his soul.
God, now he's sweating.
Rest in peace.
Look at the, look at Rick Chains.
Look at Eddie Kenyon.
God damn it.
Guys, please turn to this.
please turn to this at one point
and look at this is
four fucking black kids
look what they can do look at them
and they sang a song
they're talking about standing on the top
and not one time they say the word nigger
so take that to the bank motherfuckers
that shit is so that
is so good right there
because Eddie
I mean Rick James
is killing it
just killing it on that
you know
I got so
emotional because
they've disrespected that whole genre
of music. That doesn't exist.
It doesn't want to fucking exist
and it just takes me deep.
It just fucking destroy what happened?
You streamed with them?
Yeah.
Yeah, but we'll get it back.
Dude, that shit was incredible, right?
What the fucking thing you're dealing with?
Yeah. When you're on the top?
Hey! I love all that. I love
the pockets too because you got
the main groove going.
with the bass and then you got a guy just kick it in going yeah yeah another guy going hey yeah
when you're on the top oh no you know it's so great this is what I love about doing podcasts and
sometimes you have an idea of what you're going to talk about and you're going to something else
and it's even stronger than one of the podcasts the message that you wanted you know when I talked to
dean this this morning we wanted to talk about San Jose and music and the ACDC thing which I didn't
know that were your favorite bands I didn't mean that you know that was your favorite bands I didn't
to disrespect them.
But you're not
disrespect to them.
It's just proper.
There's a point that
you know,
like life,
music is fucked up
once you get ego involved
in money.
Oh.
You know,
I bet if you go to every
fucking musician
and go,
you know,
whatever,
you could just go back
to the first day
of making music,
that feeling
of being in the fucking garage,
you know,
you know,
what's his name's on tour
with Peter Gabriel.
Yeah,
yeah.
Stingers on tour.
Peter Gabriel. It's...
Coming to the Bull.
It's... I want to go there and assassinate's thing.
Like, that's the hatred I've developed him over the years
because you could see his ego leaking out of his pores.
I tried to watch him a few months ago, late-night talk show.
Yeah.
He went up there with a ukulele, you know?
You know, and, you know, like, it's like,
can I talk to you for a second?
Just gives these little homo friends that live next to you
and your neighborhood say that's cool.
Yeah.
That ain't cool. Don't show up here with a fucking ukulelelai.
I'll smack me next time.
fucking ukina.
And then he went on tour with it.
You knew about that.
Yeah, smag him with the ghost.
Like, he's one of those guys,
and he thinks like,
well, I'm going to play something
because my friends tell me.
And actually,
some people go up to him.
You know what kind of jerkos that go up to him?
Yes, man.
Oh, my God, that was the most brilliant thing.
No one's not.
I didn't come here to see a ukulele.
I came here to fucking see synchronicity.
That's what I came here to fucking hear,
okay?
Not know you with a ukulele and three little white dudes
that need testosterone shots on two.
I don't hear this shit.
And that's why I,
He aggravates me to know and to think that at one time.
Today, I picked up one of their albums, but it wasn't the one I want.
I got ghost in the machine.
I want a ghost in the machine and synchronicity and the first one.
This was something different.
They didn't have what I was looking for.
And it was funny.
That's what I thought of.
I go, what a fucking band that I was in love with and they broke my heart.
Yep.
It was like dating a woman that you fucking, listen, man, synchronicity in 84.
Oh, yeah.
took me from one place to another play wrapped around my fingerly.
Oh, man.
That song has always beaten me up emotionally and physically.
Like when I hear it, five other ten times, I'll switch it.
The other five times, it's such a beautiful jam,
but it's such a part of such a beautiful album.
It's incredible.
It's a fucking incredible.
And I can't find that either.
I got to go down on me and lift a rock and go for 30.
and out. Come with me, man.
Come with me.
This weekend in San Jose, we'll go looking.
Let's just end the fucking aggravation
and we'll just work around with.
I do it with men and we hit record stores.
Oh, it's fucking score.
Oh, it'll be great. I got to meet a friend of mine
Gordon Friday and Saturday.
But maybe Thursday.
Let me see what happens tomorrow. I got
hit with an audition. Like, this guy's tremendous.
Yeah. This guy's really good.
But I'm not going. It's a Disney thing for a
fucking Mexican sheriff in a Mexican town.
That don't look like me. Hit it Lee.
Watch this shit. This is brilliant.
This was something that fucking killed me.
Like, did they break up after this album?
This ain't it, Lee.
It's the police.
Wrapped around your finger by the police.
You're killing me.
You know what one kills me?
Walking on the moon.
That one we played.
We fucking played down on the show once.
I must have got 50 emails.
I was like in shock that people had not heard this before.
It's a fucking crazy.
No, it was synchronistic of their last out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That was it.
Yeah, and then they got back together about five years ago, remember six years ago and did a tour.
And then they imploded again.
Yeah, here we go.
You know how many times I watch this video coke down my mind, like having a fucking nervous breakdown out.
And the video is beautiful.
He's beautiful in the video.
He didn't bother me at this time.
It's once he pulled the plug, Jesus out.
Look at this. Look at this.
Stuart Copeland.
This guy can play the drums.
He's insane.
And this guy's no pushy.
Oh, Andy.
He crushes the guitar.
Big chorus.
Have only come here seeking knowledge.
Fucking beautiful.
Yeah.
I love these music podcast people.
It takes me back.
It really enhances the podcast because it's fucking real.
This shit used to make it.
This used to inspire.
This shit kept me alive.
Yeah.
Like I would watch this shit and stay home for an hour.
Oh.
I know that I had.
And then I go on and do blow and I'd be thinking I come on and watch MTV.
MTV was God.
This was just some.
Put on the, what's the one you said?
Walking on the moon.
Jesus Christ.
We opened up with that Lee.
The time we opened up with that, I must have got no exaggeration the next day, 25 emails.
People going, what album is that on and who was that?
Wow.
And I was in shock.
I was like, you mean to tell me you don't know this piece of history.
There's only four fucking albums, I think, or five.
album and you don't know this this is a just a monster oh on your live version no see if they
no no no hit that record version right there yeah yeah right there right there yeah listen to this
shit oh man look how beautiful album cover this so good listen to this and sting was a killer bass

this in my fucking room in Colorado with the window cracked.
I saw him on the ghost of the shit.
I saw them on their first one.
Oh, that was so.
Roxanne one?
Wow.
So good.
The music is like almost reggae, you know?
Like the guitar's like, chink, chink, chink, like that's, you know, reggae.
You know, you could be like, ya man, come on, roll up, you know what I mean?
This is great.
This is fucking great.
Great.
Let me give some shoutouts here.
We're going to close up this section here.
First shout-out, I want to give out this Daniel Karen,
Corrin. He's the one that said,
you got to bring music back on the fucking podcast.
I thank you, brother, because your comment was the one that pushed me over the top.
My main man, Ali Baez, Scott Phillips, Alex Sepate,
Enrique Rivera, Tim Glob, 710, Raven Good,
Robert Sochi, Clint Oldie, and Green Cloud.
love you motherfuckers. Thank you for always supporting this year. What I wanted to get to
tonight was an album that got released on July of 1981. I had gone to see Def Leopard either open up
for Priest or Iron Maiden. It was Iron Maiden opened up for Priest, but I saw Def Leopard on
the On Through the Night Tour. I didn't see him then. I saw it. Okay. That's a high.
Which was 80.
Right.
Okay.
And then I saw Death Leopard.
Judas Priest.
No.
Oh.
I saw them open up for ACDC.
Oh, wow.
August 4th.
Seventy-9?
80.
80.
Oh, back in black tour?
Second show.
Second night.
They opened up in Philadelphia.
Wow.
And the second night was at the Palladium in New York City.
And they were tremendous.
And Angus was tremendous.
You know.
Yeah.
The whole night was tremendous.
I went with Kurt D Lorenzo.
But I remember going home.
Like, in those days, in my world, you didn't go see the opening act.
Yeah, that's right.
You're correct.
They got booed off.
You didn't go see the opening act.
In my world, you didn't go see the opening act.
And in my world, there was actually great opening acts, you know.
The one that they said, everybody said you had to go see was when they said,
go see Black Sabbath, the dudes in front of them, tremendous guitar player.
But the word out was this deaf leopard had open.
up for somebody a year before,
and people like, Def Leopids opening up from him,
you got to go. And I went,
and they played Mirror Mirror.
Oh, yeah.
And I remember going home,
and there was no computer in those fucking Days Lee.
Yeah.
And they wouldn't tell you afterward.
The name of that song is Mirror Mirror.
It's off to whatever album.
So I had to go and buy the fucking album.
And when I put on this album,
it destroyed me, you know, just...
Till this day, when I put on this album, I think about a certain period in my life,
because the album came out in July of 81.
I finally picked it up, like, December of 81.
It came alive.
People were talking about songs.
You go to parties.
By February, people were putting this fucking album on.
And by April and May of that year, when I was a senior in high school,
no matter whose car you went into, they had high and dry.
Yeah, absolutely.
Now, how do we play this league on the turntail?
or do we play it on YouTube?
I think YouTube for better for now.
YouTube would be better in here,
but if you wanted to crank it on that,
I wouldn't blame you.
Would you do YouTube?
Yeah.
Let's do YouTube for them, you know.
I don't know if they...
Let's see, let me look at the record of Kirkierrez.
That's the most important thing.
So what song do you want to play off of it?
I want to play mirror and mirror.
Okay.
Oh, ladies' trains.
Take a look at this album cover.
Oh, I don't have anybody's here,
but the first of, first of,
First of all, the most crazy thing about this record,
incredible album cover the art.
You know, the guy's diving into an empty pool.
But on the back, I believe they're just around 18 and 19 at this era.
So this is the singer.
But this was a guy, Pete Willis, who to me was the king of the band.
He played a Hamer Explore, and he was absolutely crushing.
You've got Steve Clark, who later died from Alcote.
alcohol. And then you got Rick Allen who lost an arm in a crash. This band, crazy curse. And then you've got the bass player, Savage, Rick Savage, and then, of course, Joe Elliott. But this is the original lineup. And they're from Sheffield, England. And I went to Sheffield one time. And I couldn't believe it. Sheffield's an old steel town, like Detroit. And all I kept thinking was, how did this fucking band get out of Sheffield and into America?
It's unbelievable to think.
They're kids, man.
They're fucking kids.
They lived at their mom's houses and shit.
And it's all about the tunes on this.
It's so fucking raw and radical.
And they sound like, you know,
they sound unbelievable.
It's way different band than they are later on pyromania and hysteria.
And even now.
This album has always been like,
I don't know, whenever I hear this album,
I just think of fun times with my friends.
It's it.
People looking for me.
stealing.
Yeah.
No worries.
You know, snort and blow.
Fun time with my friends.
No worries.
No worries.
No worries.
And this song, this album was, you know, like the fucking, I don't know what to call it,
like the staple for that summer.
It's the high watermark, man.
Yeah, it was.
It really was.
And those Jensen triaxles and a Camaro, that speaker that was out right around this time,
with the fucking auto reverse cassette players finally, it played the,
whole thing and flip it on its own.
You know what I mean?
It's very funny because
July of 82,
I robbed this dude,
right?
Yeah.
Whatever's name is,
is not important.
The scam was,
I used to bring him stolen TVs
and he always gave me a gram a blow.
Right.
Just one night we were going to see an Ozzie
without Randy Rhodes with the other guy from...
Brad Gillis?
With Brad Gillis at the Middlelands.
And I got a Trinatron fan of the box
and he got all cocky on me.
He said,
I'm not giving you the fuck.
and I'm not giving you the fucking grandma blow.
So, you know, in typical Joey Dia style,
I got fucking furious,
and I vowed I was gonna get this motherfucker.
It took me 10 months to get him.
Yeah.
But I got him.
And even after he fucked me,
I go over there and buy blow from him
and have conversations and he was funny.
But I knew eventually I was in the cash in my chip with this guy.
Yeah.
And I finally got him in July of 82.
When did fucking Rick, when did Randy Rhodes die?
He died, I think, in 81.
82.
Look it up.
Yeah, look it up.
Side two you want, Joey.
82 in Florida.
Randy Rose died in 82.
Oh, two days is the anniversary.
Wow.
March, right?
March 10th, yeah.
Wow.
We'll celebrate it up there.
Yeah, man.
So this guy had beat me, and I waited 10 or 11 months.
and nail this motherfucker.
And one that I nailed this motherfucker
on a Friday night with this dude.
I made a mistake that I nailed this guy
with a dude who was a rat.
It was too late when I put two into together
when I went to give him half the coke.
And he goes, no, no, no, I saw yours.
I'm never going to say nothing.
I go, God damn it.
Oh, oh.
You know.
I started snort with him, snort with him.
And then right away, he had to go home.
He had a curfew.
So that
To make a long story short
We snorted Coke that whole weekend
And my friend that we had out for two nights
He had to go to summer school
That Monday morning
And he was out with us
Since Saturday night
We had him out
I mean Saturday straight
18 years old
We hooked up on a Saturday night
I robbed the guy on a Friday
We stayed at all night till 6th the morning
drove down to shore and back
I was in bed by 8 in the afternoon
I got up at 4, 8, did what I had to do.
I wasn't going to go out.
About 10.30, my little gumbas called me.
And we went out, and we stayed out from Saturday, snort and coke all day, Sunday to Sunday morning, Monday morning.
This is two nights of snort and Coke, and there's still a bucket left of it by rob from this guy.
And we're selling little deals to people.
Dean, come here.
Yeah.
Dean, you want an eight ball for 250.
Get the fuck out of you.
Eight balls and 300.
Look at the court.
Look what I'm going to do for you.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm a do for you, okay?
Remember me, cock-sucking.
When you were a junkie, you remember.
Oh, shit, Joey.
So I was just picking up hundreds from friends I knew just to keep us alive for a couple days.
But that Monday morning, he can't go to summer school.
He's already got two misses.
So we got to go see a teacher, I know, Mr. T, and we got to clean this shit up.
So we knock on T's door.
He sees us, he's like, what are you fucking crazy?
You're all coked up.
But the moral of story is we're driving.
Tea knew we had blow.
Here we are, 18 years of.
So we just graduated high school.
T gets in the car with us.
He does two lines of coke.
And he's like, what the fuck is going on?
I'm fucking savages.
Where's the music?
And I'll never forget being on Kennedy Boulevard.
Doing 80 miles an hour.
And that coming on.
And him going, what the fuck?
And he was doing this with his hand.
And we were just cutting people off.
And there was a guy that was thinking about,
crossing the street
and T was like
T was like
T was like Duda Bougaloo
you motherfucker
That is my memory
Of this fucking how
Like this fucking song right here
But you could hit mirror mirror on there
I just wanted to give them a full of fun
I like it
I love speakers in the background
Yeah cool woman
Cool lies
You got me
Hypnotice
Get ready
Get steady
I mean read the songs out to them
And break the songs on this hour
Okay
All right well first of all
That's one of the greatest
Intros of rock
Let it go you know
And then it just tells you the mood
Yeah
It just tells you what you're going
To get involved into
Which a lot of people don't fucking do no more
All right
The second song is Lady Strange
Nope another hit and run
Another hit and run
Tremendous again
Oh yeah
Next one
high and dry. Jesus Joseph
and Mary. Oh shit.
Then bring it on the heartbreak.
Oh, shit. The big ballot. Then switch
625, which is like an
instrumental. And then
you go to side two.
You got bringing on
the heartbreak, you know.
Oh, there's a remix on her.
Then you got me running. You got me running. You got me
running. Remember that one?
Oh. Just fucking give me the songs.
Then Lady Strange.
I want no lip-sink.
Strange. Yeah, yeah. On through the night. Mirror, mirror. Look into my eyes. Remember that?
Hit it, Lee. A little mirror mirror. Yeah. It's too much. This jam is too fucking much.
Oh, so good. I can't tell you how many fucking lines and eight balls and blow I did to this jam. Listen to this again. Hit it, Lee.
Oh, yeah. Are you kidding?
Hit it. Incredible. My buddy has this on his reel-to-reel. Mikey asked to leave it up, Lee.
Don't touch the fucking volume, Cogsuck.
I'll bite that little Jew finger.
The Asher's finger.
The Asher's finger.
And we listen to this over and over.
This is just...
Q Prime management.
They're still with them.
And Metallica, still with Q Prime.
That's what the management was on this.
We've got to get with them.
I know.
20 fucking years.
30 years.
30 years.
Money.
Stacking paper.
You're pushing your buttons for it.
Ready for another star?
I'll leave it away.
Yeah, you're going.
I'll pass out of it.
Here's a fuck.
What do you got to bomb?
Get up right from here.
You go to kettlebells on the cold.
And this is still my land, correct?
Yep, absolutely.
At this point, how many hours had mutt gone about?
I don't know.
He did high with hell.
And he had done back in black, which was right before this.
So, two monster fucking records.
And then this one, and Pyromania and hysteria.
Oh, my God.
Now, who plays this lead coming up?
Is this Pete Willis or is this Bocler?
Lee, crank this up.
I want you to break the fucking computer for this.
Listen to this lead from here on it.
I think that's Pete Willis.
Let's take a lot of.
Oh.
This guys are like 20 years old
wrote these songs.
No one wrote these songs for them.
Isn't it American Idol and shit?
These guys were in a garage
and slugged out these fucking tunes
that are classics right now
that people go crazy over.
I mean, you know,
that high and dry song,
a band would die to have a tune like that right now.
You know, just one of those.
And they got like nine,
killers on there.
There's eight killers on there.
Eight killers on there, you know?
And they wrote those at fucking like 17, 18, 19, 20 years old.
It's insane to me.
It's insane.
And the singing, his singing is so great for like 20 years old.
He's not like, oh, yeah, yeah, you know, he just sounds incredible.
This is a masterpiece.
Yeah.
And the one afterward, you know, the one before this was great.
Yep.
It wasn't sensational, like, you know, but it was a good album.
for the first album.
I like Wasted.
I love Wasted.
But this one here fucked me up completely.
I mean, I fell in love with this album for maybe three, four years.
And whenever I hear different songs, now, they never play Mera on the radio.
No.
They always play bringing on the fucking heartache, which drives me crazy.
I know.
Who are the people around them on the back of the...
That's just artwork.
That's just cousins of yours.
Look at them.
That's it.
It's just, you know, in those days,
yesterday we were reading about I called Lee
and I told him to Wickpedia
wish you were here
and I go look at the preparation
they put into the packaging
like they put as much
like they were talking about
they took pictures to signify the agents
that they're greedy
they sell their soul
and they got them whiting on fire
on the Warner Brothers lot
you know they just Pink Floyd
put as much thought
into the fucking
album as just to fuck with people
turn that around you said something
oh yeah the guy's going to dive
into an empty pool.
You know how many times you look at that and you're like,
what does this mean?
Is he getting hung upside down?
Why is he high and fucking dry?
It's this,
I mean,
this is kind of artwork right here.
I would love to just have in my house hanging,
you know,
because it's something,
it's very,
you know,
it's almost kind of looks like old,
like craftwork kind of artwork,
you know,
that band craftwork.
It's just really crazy.
What is this?
Which is even cooler when you're a kid, you're just looking at it going,
what does that mean?
That was me at 2 in the morning.
You know, on a quailude would blow looking at this going,
why are they looking up?
And he's jumping down.
And the logo.
They never changed the logo.
It's spectacular.
From day one, they got a fucking crushing logo.
Really is a different world for music.
Yeah.
How much thought.
And because they wanted you to stop and buy this.
That's right.
They wanted you to walk by and fucking buy this
And there had to be a decision
Of all five members of the fucking band
Look at this
You know, we were talking about this right here
Look at...
Where do you want me to look?
Read this, go all the way down, scroll down
To whatever the fuck, keep going.
Packaging, yes, packaging, you know.
Wish you were here.
Let me get my glasses on.
Oh, wow.
Look at that there.
They had the dude, he went out on tour with them in 74
Scott Jorgensen, Storm Thorginson,
had accompanied the band their 74th time
given Syrians after the meaning of the lyrics,
eventually deciding that the songs were in general
concerned with unfiltered presence
rather than Barnett's Barrett's illness.
This theme of absence was reflected in the ideas
produced by the long hours spent,
brainstorming with the band, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Cell phone.
Dorgensen had noted that the RoxyMuse's country life
was sold in an opaque green cellophane sleeves,
censoring the cover image.
And he copied the idea, concealing the artwork,
I wish you were here,
and a black-colored shrink wrap,
therefore making the album are absent.
The concept behind Welcome to the Machine,
and we have it here with the bag.
That's a killer.
Well, the guys were actually on fire.
So right here, you walk by this,
and you've got a black fucking bag.
That's it.
And the concept was behind a Welcome to the Machine
and have a cigar.
that the use of a handshake
or often an empty gesture
and gaudy hardy designed
the sticker containing the alms logo on two
mechanical hands right there
fucking genius yeah
fucking genius man
mechanical handshake logo would also
appear on the labels of the vinyl album this time
black and blue black on the
alms cover image was inspired by the idea
that people tend to conceal their true feelings
for the fear of getting burned
and thus the two business room
were pictures shaking hands one man on fire
getting burned is a common phrase in the music industry often used by artists who were denied royalty payments two stunt men were used i mean you know the photograph was taken on the Warner brothers lot in Los Angeles
initially the wind was blowing the wrong direction the flames were forced into randell's fight he's burning his mustache
how fucking crazy is this shit right i didn't even know it was real guys on fire yeah i just thought it was done yeah
this is guys this is the thought it was a complete different situation you
You know, that's why I think even like when I did the CDs with Lee, I always fucking thought about something, you know.
I snuck into a church with Felicia and took pictures.
You know, this time I fucking walked with my daughter because I wanted the album cover to reflect what I was thinking at that time.
Or who the fuck I was and I kind of a joke in a way.
You know what I'm saying?
I am Catholic.
What are you going to do?
But we don't get that no more.
Now all I got to do is go on iTunes, click a thing, and I got an email saying we took $2.99 out of your fucking account.
And say Lauvi, you don't get a letter, you don't get a picture, you don't get a handshake, you don't get a history behind that joke.
Nope.
You don't get who gots.
So it just shows you why sometimes these musicians get pissed about their money because they put a lot of extra working for this, which, like New Wave, are probably charging them hundreds of thousands.
Like the guy designed that logo.
What do you think they charged that love to design that logo?
Lots.
10,000.
Yeah.
Yeah.
10,000, sure, mate.
Yeah.
You know, they weren't rich, but they thought they were going to get rich.
Yep.
And the logo lasted for fucking never.
Oh, yeah.
I had the guy on that wrote this ACDC book called The Brothers Young, the guys that built ACDC.
And there was just a guy who worked at Atlantic, like an intern or something in the art department, that drew their logo.
and he didn't get any money.
He was just an intern, and ACDC has been using that logo for fucking 50 years on shirts and garbage cans and bumper stickers and lighters and fucking beers and everything.
That fucking logo, you know, they got it free.
It's crazy, right?
Just, I don't know where the artwork and music went.
Yeah.
And it's something that people have heard me talk about before, but it still baffles me.
because it's such a, this is what the music is.
Go in there.
You know, when I look at a picture, I just look at a picture.
And this with music, they made you look at the picture,
and then go in it.
Let's go in the picture and get the album,
and let's play it the other room, you know,
because we don't want my mom to hear it.
You know, it's just a big part of my life.
I wish we could find the way to do a show.
We could do this on a weekly basis,
the fear of getting sued or fucking getting hung by our balls because I think that this is missing from a lot of people's lives. You know, this is, this could put your life together. If you're on blow and you get out of rehab and you go, you know what, what did I do as a child? I had 300 albums. What did I do? I don't put 10 bucks when I got out on Coke. Let me go build my thing up again. Yep.
Make little notes. And as stupid as it is, it just, you like music anyway. I like music, man.
Yeah. I can't, you want to throw me in jail? Throw me in jail. You want to really fuck me up? Take away my music.
Yeah.
What about local access?
Can you do it there or no?
What?
Play music.
I don't know.
I got to find that.
That's why I love doing this podcast with you because it's like there's very few people that I can really, really fucking talk to music about.
It's like you, Marin, Burr.
We all love music.
I think it's the era we just grew up in.
It just ran parallel with our insanity.
Give me a favor.
Missing Persons Mental Hopscots.
The other day, I'm scrolling, and I see this on YouTube.
Oh, yeah.
And all of a sudden is, like, getting smacked in the fucking face.
Mental Hops are.
Missing Persons did an album called Destination M, whatever the fuck it was.
But before they released Destination M, they did what everybody else did in the business, they released an EP.
And on that EP was a song called Mental Hopscots.
That, to me, was one of their best songs.
She couldn't sing in real life.
She couldn't do fucking dick.
Dale Bozio.
Yeah, now that you look, the husband can play the shit out of the drum.
Crusher.
But after I was watching Bozio, I started, I got hooked on, you know, Frank's garage and all the Frank Zappa stuff.
And then after, this was on the plane.
Yeah.
And then after Zappa, I got hooked on something else that was so obscure.
Again, I hadn't heard in years, but you don't have enough time to listen to music.
That's the problem.
Yeah.
I don't have, with the child and the podcast, you know, listen to me.
You have to put the album on, roll a joint, put the earphones on, bang it.
And you need an hour and a half, at least one day, a fucking, you know, one hour a day.
I love all that shit.
But I live on 15 minutes.
Play this shit.
Let me listen to this shit.
Oh, yeah.
Crack it, Salit.
Fuck yeah.
This song kills.
She came out, wrapped in cellophane when I saw with two Dixie Cups on the Titty.
I talked about her hymn on the Rogan podcast.
And his son reached out.
I don't know if it's her son or something.
Wow.
I saw him at the Us Festival.
I saw them a little before that.
That was July 83.
Yep.
I saw them January of 83.
It was a frozen fucking night.
I saw him in one of those Newark neighborhoods,
Madison, one of those places in Jersey.
What a bad.
You know, when there's a couple interviews with her
about Lady Gaga.
She's kind of pissed off.
Oh, I could imagine.
I could imagine.
She's the original Lady Gaga.
Yep.
That guy crushes on drums.
This is fucking fuck crazy.
This guy with a little guitar,
watch this shit.
Yeah.
I love to get this guitar player
on the podcast.
Right?
And I ask him questions.
Fuck it.
Look at him.
He's chopping those fucking drums.
Kill it.
This is fucking
too much.
So good.
Lee's out of it.
Look at him.
Straight up new wave, buddy.
Actual new wave.
Drop it on you
motherfuckers on a Tuesday night.
Fuck yeah.
Wednesday morning, you'll get this shit.
Every once in a while, you got to go off the deep end
and just talk music, man.
Like I said, people should do this more.
We just don't have the time.
A lot of people don't even love this shit, you know.
You got to really be into this shit.
We don't know what the fuck we're talking about.
He's looking at me all scared.
I get the most tweets when I do this show.
Sure.
Because we talk about music and they're just like,
man, I love when you guys talk about music.
I mean, the Twitter is on fire over it.
I picked up an album today by mistake that I did not go to the store even looking for.
Marin, when I shot Marin a couple weeks ago, he told me he went out on a Saturday,
and he picked a sister up to this album, which is Cars Candy O.
Oh, God, yeah.
Which is brilliant.
That's another 82, 81 type of album.
Crush.
No!
79
79
but my freshman year
in high school
an album came out
that was fucking just
superb
fucking superb
oh
the cars
dude
unbelievable that band
there you go
oh
their fucking first album
like listen man
it was Ted Nugent
it was Black Sabbath
it was ACDC
it was all
all this stuff.
And at the same time,
I'm getting into this,
let me get that album cover over there.
At the same time,
I'm getting into this,
a buddy of mine gives me,
what the fuck did he give me?
He gave me like one of this albums.
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah, I'll listen to this.
And at first,
I didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.
Yeah.
And I'll tell you,
I think the biggest one,
I don't know if it's the,
the biggest mistake they made, or who the fucking mind?
You're talking about people's mistakes.
But this is one of the greatest songs they've ever done.
I love this song.
What happened was they sold it to a movie.
Maybe a year or two afterward.
Yeah.
Another album cover. Look at these fucking guys.
God, they look so different here.
But the guitar player is...
This is on Fast Hanzas at Ridgemont High.
Yes.
That's what I'm saying. It killed it.
Yep.
Bill Orr.
Base player, singer, he died of AIDS.
Total bummer.
He did.
It was a bummer, man.
The guy was a killer.
He was a creepy dude, rest of peace.
I'm just saying.
We said that once about Danny Merck.
Oh, yeah.
He was a creepy dude.
Just fucking brilliant.
Brilliant music we covered tonight, man.
All right.
I love doing this shit with you.
Not to mention, myself and my little brother will be at the sand.
Jose Improft, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night.
We'll talk music after it, whatever the fuck you want to talk.
Like I said, Dean is more versed in certain musics, you know.
Like, I had to listen to Dylan in years.
I used to cover a lot more, Neil Young.
Yeah.
You know, I even look for, I look for Neil Young Crazy Horse for you today,
just to really totally off the balcony and say that.
He couldn't take it no more.
And what's up, dog?
What's up my fucking Jewish brother over there?
what was the name?
What was she saying?
She was saying like mental mishamps.
What was she saying at the end of that song?
Oh.
Like in that mental hopscotch.
Yeah.
When she was saying mental hopscotch,
I was having a panic attack.
Yeah.
Mental hopscotch.
I kept looking over at you and you were just,
you were zapped.
I was digging it.
Oh, Lee was fucking looking at me.
It's spinning and shit like this.
He was like, oh shit.
So after the last podcast, I did something
because you got to put your mouth of your money is
and I downloaded that headspace app.
And I'm like on the eight day.
It took me like 10 days.
and listen to that.
I believe in meditation.
When I lived in Boulder, I had a lot of problems for a while,
and I thought I was going to go off the fucking deep end.
And I started going to this Noropa Institute,
and then on Monday nights I go to Chautauqua,
and there were some fucking dudes up there who had stinky feet,
and they'd walk around in circles.
They'd do walking meditation.
And believe it or not, it takes your mind off stuff.
You know, at that time I was so fucking crazy
that nobody could help me.
Buddha, nobody. All I wanted to do is snort fucking blow and get my dick sucked. No meditation's
going to help you. But I downloaded it and let's be honest. Most problems start with your mind. Fear,
anger. You get stressed out, anxiety, depression, sleeplessness. I got sleeplessness, man. I get
stressed out. I get angry real fast. They begin in your fucking head and they can wreck your life.
But it doesn't have to be that way. You can make a big difference in just 10 minutes a day.
You know, for some people it's exercising, for some people it's taking a walk around the block,
for some people, it may be this.
You know, you can make a major difference in 10 minutes.
The change will come from guided meditation with the new Headspace app.
Headspace is a meditation made simple.

I went to Jitut today.
I lasted three matches.
The last one I thought I was going to die,
but I just kept focusing,
looking at the wall and breathing.
That's all I focused on, and I made it.
I don't know if I'm going to be able to walk tomorrow,
but hey, I give it that own New York try.
If I do it on my own, no.
I do it because I take the hemp force protein
before I go to my workout.
And then when I come back,
I eat something,
or I have a little chocolate milk,
which is the same difference.
But before I go work out,
I always take the Shroom Tech sport.
I'm flying Thursday to San Jose.
I'll take the Shroom Tech immune
