Bob will let and former spoons and honeymoon sweet keyboardist Rob Bruce Hello, happy summer. Oh, sorry. Sorry, it broke open. Bob, what did you crack there? I cracked my favorite, my Great Lakes lager. It's their premium lager. And I just thought I would, why waste time?

I'm gonna- Okay, let me, oh, sorry, I'm gonna give this right back to you, Robert. So I just wanna say I put a couple of new beers on the table and there's, of course, there's always a Connect Pale Ale and I got my Sunnyside Session IPA. This is a GLB Berliner. This is a German beer I know Rob Bruce is of German descent

So Rob and of course Bob he's he's German somewhere back there, right? You'll find it somewhere But let me know when you have a few sips of your crack it on the mic and let me know when I crack yours on The mic just get right into it. Yeah My broke broke open. I know it just happened. All right. Cheers. One two. You're already starting. Go. I already heard that. I heard it come on you know I'm wearing headphones. Cheers. Unlike Bob I haven't been going deaf I'm just going blind. There's a big difference here. Okay no Leah today. No Lee. Leah. Leah? Oh yeah, how do you pronounce it? Well, her family calls her Leah.

When she was like a teenager, she became Leah because she thought it sounded cooler like when she was 16 or 17. What is it, like what does her parents say? Ooh. They actually. Wait, wait, before you tell me how her parents pronounce her name, how is that GLB Berliner?

You look like you're gonna fall over. Yeah, they hit you like a ton of bricks. Yeah. Can I smell it? Is it so it's a burlina? It's a slow I have to figure out what it is. It's got a taste of like cinnamon or something. Yeah, is that wrong? It's just not it. I don't think it's a summer beer. I don't know They just made it like so they should know it's summer but great like so so what is like give me I need an honest review If you don't like it, you don't like it. but what do you think after light beer? My first taste was blue. That's weird because I wasn't expecting weird What do you mean? So it's like taste like a logger. No, what is it like a grapefruit? Bob can you read this small? Yeah, I know I'm reading it

It says you know some brewers take shortcuts They kettle sour toss in some fruit puree and call it a burlina or vice but not us Oh, no, we do it the old-school way the right way or toss in some fruit puree and call it a Berliner vice, but not us. Oh no, we do it the old school way, the right way, the classically crafted way. Ours is a slow, patient labor of love, fermented with brewer's yeast, a word I can't pronounce, and another word I can't pronounce.

Yeah, so it's a bunch of stuff. And then just when you think the show is over, we hit it with a lively can conditioning that gives it the effervescence worthy of its legendary name, the champagne of the North. Okay. So it's got a bunch of things in it. Champagne of the North makes sense. It tastes like a fall beer. It tastes a little bit like a cooler. It tastes a little bit like a grapefruit. He's just got a fruity taste, a fruity taste with some spice. Yeah. Well, Rob, if you don't love that beer, you can crack this open. We'll dump that and I'll get Bob another, I'm not giving up on it. Send this to a sense, but I do want Bob's. I'll try it. I will, but

I'm send a, send that, uh, that read to the guys that like, yeah. What are your rates? Like if someone wants to hire you for voiceover, we can talk about it. We can negotiate. No gigs or they all go to Dandaran. Yeah. I haven't. Yeah. I've been with an agency for a year and a bit, a year and a half now. And, uh, I don't get gigs. No, I got two callbacks to three callbacks for cartoons. Oh, cool. I haven't, I haven't gotten. Gina Kennedy gets gigs. She does. I'm actually working with Gina Kennedy. So I was going to ask you how TMLX19 went,

because last time we did toast, we went directly to TMLX19. That's right. Yeah, we did, and it was lovely. The food was great, as always, from Palma Pasta, and it was a good turnout, I would say. Yeah, I think it was a good turnout. It was a lot of people, and Altered by Mom were there,

and that's Gina Kennedy. And I'm wearing their T-shirt today. Oh, nice, and I knew Gina, like before Altered by Mom was a thing. That's that band. She's in radio. Yeah. I didn't meet her.

I love that band. You did, mom. Did I meet her? She came straight from the airport. Oh, yeah. She was in Italy. Oh, OK. And she came straight to the airport with Devin, her bandmate

and her lover. Are they married? I think so, yeah. I heard them here. You had them on the show. They were very interesting. Because I dig them. I've had one twice. And Devin says like Cam Gordon. He's got a little

bit of a cam vibe. Yes. Tyler played it on an FOTM. That's right. They kind of cadence. Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, I Kurt Cobain. It was great. It was great getting to reconnect with her and actually she's gonna, they're gonna, I'm meeting with them when I get back off of a vacation and I'm gonna see if they can help me out with some stuff with the radio station. Cool. That's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. That's great. It's all about the connections. Exactly. So how do you, how does Lee's parents pronounce her name? Claire Leah, Leah, Leah, no, that was L E H L E H. Yeah. So they call her Leah and some people call her Leah and sometimes her parents feel her mom and her aunt and

everybody now still feel a little guilty. Sometimes if they don't call her Leia and sometimes her parents feel her mom and her aunt and everybody now still feel a little guilty sometimes if they don't call her Leia, but she likes both. You call her Leia because you got a Star Wars thing. I totally do. She was born, she was born the day after Star Wars premiered. Nice. In 1977, which I think is a cool weird.

She's younger than me. Yeah. Wow. I didn't know she was born in 77. Now you know. I knew she was. I thought it was 86 or anything. Ah. So did she have a good time at Toast? Well, I knew she was, I thought it was 86 or so. Did she have a good time at toast?

Well, she wasn't here long because she went to somewhere. She went shoe shop, shoe shopping. Did she enjoy TMLX 19? She is your wife. For those who don't know, she loved it. It's better for the first time. She said everybody was so nice. And I said, of course, everybody's nice.

But we're Canadians to start. But she said, but I don't know if I can say this off the record or on the record, but she said compared to some other types of fans that might know you, this was the nicest. Yes, she told me to. Yeah, spoons. Yeah, well, we have devoted. They dicks. No, they're not at all. They're not, but some of them are F for what's the word? They're very excited. They're overexcited. Yeah, so even even now, like, you know, sometimes they bring things to be signed or whatever. Oh, because you were their, their crush.

Yeah. They said like a teenage thing. It's leftover. And I, I don't mind that at all because I'm used to it from my whole life, you know, that's how she's a little Cameron feels. That's right. She's a lay. I was a little surprised by it, but she loved him. I don't know. Cause he's a, he was some many, many young women. Well, at the time they were young, that was their first crush, Kurt Cameron, like a poster boy and tiger beat and stuff. Oh, I can't think of that guy without thinking how he went so hard. No, I'm talking growing pains. Kirk. No, but he was a, he was a heartthrob. Should have known what Corey Feldman or Corey Haim. Oh, one of them's dead. Nevermind.

Corey Haim. The Canadian is dead. Sadly from, I think Thornhill. I want to say now a lot of ground to cover and I got a specific question for Bob and I got a specific question for Rob. And then I have some stuff to talk about before we kick out. Maybe we'll let Bob introduce the topic. I like what you said, maybe we'll let Bob. Oh yeah, there you go. It's like your name backwards. Bob.

Maybe we'll let Bob. Oh yeah. See? That was an accident. Oh God, I'm a genius. Okay. Bob, we'll let you chose the topic. What is the topic?

And then I'm going to. I jams, not eye. Yeah. Well, I mean, I, I thought about doing an eye thing, like just to piss you off, kind of like the flowers thing, but yeah, I E Y E songs that, um, could have our boat eyes could have eyes in the title, anything, whatever it's up to you. The interpretation is up to the three of us. Although I will we say that what happened between you and me that you took that I took to your songs. It turned out you only took. Oh, I thought only one, but that'll explain that. But you definitely

you only took one, but I thought you took two. Okay. I heard, I got an email from a gentleman named Eric Sagan. I hope I'm saying that right. Seguin. Seguin. S-E-G-U-I-N. Yeah, Seguin. Eric's with a C. He's in a band called Ravine. But Ravine is spelled R-A-V-E-E-N. Okay. Good SEO. Right. Like Linkin Park. Yeah. So I want you to give me your legit review. This is a song from Ravine,

and then I'm going to play a 30 second clip from Eric regarding Ravine. But I need an honest review, so can we just listen to this song, and then I wanna hear from Rob Pruss, keyboardist from Spoons and Honeymoon Suite, and Bob Lollett from Indie88. So let's listen for a moment while I drink my beer. Can't last too Take your part Pay up too Like I am He lasts too

But it's oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Oh, he's ruining the vibe. Sorry. Dad sneeze. Okay, I'll bring it down. I want to hear. So this song by Ravine is called She's Great and All.

Rob, what do you think of this song? I like the vibe. It's a vibe, right? Yeah. She's great and all. I was just typing it in. Spot on. She's great and all.

And there's like three dots at the end of all. An ellipsis. So that means... Oh yes, that's calling it right. So that means there's a but. She's great and all and there's like three dots at the end of all. An ellipsis. So that means... Oh yes, that's... you're right. So that means there's a but. She's great and all. But.

However. However. However. They played North by Northeast last year. I don't know, this year. Well, I'm going to play a clip about that in a moment. Good discovery there. But Bob, like, and again, you don't have a say in the music played on Indie 88.

We should disclose that. But you work at Indie 88. So here's what I would say. If we didn't have the Sunday morning cafe, we wouldn't have a spot for this song. It's a great song. It's got a real vibe, but this is, it's a little too down tempo, a little too slow for mainstream radio. Could be like a Danny Owell night music. Well, Danny Owell or our Sunday morning, Adam Ricard, he hosts the Sunday morning cafe or the weekend cafe, depending on who sometimes plays twice. And it's full of music like that.

Yeah. It's great. I like it a lot. Yeah, yeah. It's a total vibe. I dig it a lot. Yeah, it's super cool. Yup. But I did, now this is the same song?

Interesting. It's still, still, still not, it's not radio friendly. It's not too slow for the radio. It's still not radio friendly. It's late night radio friendly. But nobody does that except for us. Exactly. That's why it's like night driving music. Yeah. Again, yeah, yeah. It's cool. But yeah, nobody, unfortunately radio doesn't have a spot for stuff like this right now, except for us. This is the kind of music that makes me think of the turn of the century. Like when I was doing Mamma Mia in California in 2001 and I discovered this radio station KCRW, Morning Becomes Eclectic, was this guy Nick. Nick Harcourt was his name, this British DJ. And he was one of the first people, he's the first person I ever heard play Coldplay. First person I ever heard

play Nelly Furtado, which was when My Am, like a bird was becoming new. And he first person I ever heard play Sigur Ross as well. So his station, yeah, his station for me, I associate this kind of music with that, like late nineties into the early two thousands. It's beautiful. So we're talking on July 11th, it's Friday night and the lights are low Friday night lights. And we have a little, a little piece of audio from Eric from ravine. Oh cool. Hey Toronto, catch some of the hottest bands from North by North East live. Ravine headlines best of North by North East with Active Mirror,

Bebe and Una and A Weekend at Ramonus, July 17th at Antler Room, the music venue at Loose Moose on Front Street. Tickets at the door. Follow at Ravine Band on Instagram for more info. Cool. That's fun. Yeah. It's got a, you're almost trip hop vibe, but you know, um, port is head. Yeah. Little ported without the trip part, but it's like, you know what I mean? Like it's got, but it's got that, uh, ethereal or that's the right word. it's good stuff. I like it. I don't know if there's a place for it on the radio,

but that's okay. There's lots of places people get their music. And there's a place for it in the hearts of their listeners. There's a guy playing a sold out Budweiser stage tonight that I've never heard of. What's his name? I'll tell you if I've heard of him. Fisher.

No, no, no. Is it Red Fisher? No. And in my head, I'm like like Fisher, isn't that like, wasn't that the guy who beat up a Jackie on a Roseanne? Fisher Stevens, which was, which was, uh, wasn't that the brother, it wasn't that the, uh, anyways, that's what I'm going deep there. Um, no, I remember this. Yeah. Uh,

was his name Fisher? No, it was George Clooney. Wasn't it? No, no, but I, George was a guy at the same time. Yeah. But no, I can, I can picture the guy who, yeah. Who beat her up. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, but I George was a guy at the same time. Yeah, but no, I can I can picture the guy who yeah who beat her up Yeah, yeah. Anyways, I thought it was Fisher. Um, but anyway, so Fisher is a DJ and But at a producer he's doing Fisher Stevens was in Short Circuit. That's right. That's what I said and short circuit to Filmed in Toronto, but Eddie Fisher. Yeah, that's who it is. It's Eddie Fisher courtship of Eddie Fisher father Carrie, okay. So I'm just saying there's so many places. Yeah, there's who it is. It's Eddie Fisher, courtship of Eddie Fisher, father of Carrie. Okay. So I'm just saying, there's so many places. There's so much music out there. I mean,

when you, you pass by the Danforth music hall and they have the list of people, I'm like, who the hell is that? I know I heard on Indycast, which I stole the name Indycast for FOTM cast. Actually, they were talking about bands that are not famous, but popular. Like this is a whole, they have a whole category, like popular but not famous. And they have a whole whack of Spotify streams. Fisher, it was Fisher. And they can sell out these venues,

but you know, no one at this table heard of them. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was Fisher. It was Jackie's abusive boyfriend Fisher beat her up. I was right. Who was played by, and Dan beat the shit out of him. Yeah, remember that? It wasn't George Clooney didn't do it

No, he worked at the he was like a boss at Matthew P Roth. She's an actor Bastards Rob, what are your thoughts on Led Zeppelin? Um, I like them I like them a lot rave review from When I was a kid stairway to heaven was one of those rites of passage. Ravine or Led Zeppelin? Which do you like better, Ravine or Led Zeppelin? I can't say that yet. But when I was in a band when I was 11, I had to play Stairway to Heaven because everybody wanted to hear it.

We'd play the Grade 7 dance. The last song had to be Stairway to Heaven. So we did our best to play it. And it was fun learning it. And I had never really listened to anything of theirs until like I bought their album in through the outdoor in 1979. When it was like, what about you, Bob? I was in, I had houses of the holy cause I loved a Jamaica or dire maker, whatever you want to call it.

Yeah. I loved that. I was never really into them till one. So when I, here's, here's when I remember kind of getting them. I don't, I was never, I didn't smoke a joint. I didn't do an illegal drug till I was 27 years old. So I was camping after I didn't, I was, I mean, I was an alcoholic, but I didn't drink that was legal. Yeah. Yeah. But I didn't smoke weed at all,

but I remember being at a camping trip and somebody put on whole lot of love and I had smoked a joint and they, you know, the thing where those like the pre echo thing. Yes. And I was sitting and I, I still, I have it just like burned into my head listening to this. And I was like, Oh, now I get it. So I still would never put them on though. Yeah, no, I've only ever owned one CD by Led Zeppelin and it was number four Led Zeppelin for it had all the hits like rock and roll black dog. I would never put them on. I have all the vinyl and I will when I'm going through Yeah, I would never put them on to like I don't know

But this song I'm just playing the song to wrap something up before I ask Bob this specific question here But this song is on Led Zeppelin for the battle of evermore and the reason I'm playing it we listen for a moment. I'm playing this song because it would have been appropriate last month because this is a cameo jam and it's the only song in the Led Zeppelin catalog that features a voice that isn't in Led Zeppelin. Wow. Wow. Wow. There's a woman's voice on this song.

Really? Oh, there you go. So it's a duet between Robert Plant. But it sounds like a familiar voice. I don't know who it is. Well, I'll tell you. That's what I'm here for. Yeah. But it sounds like a familiar voice. I don't know who it is. Well, I'll tell you. That's what I'm here for. Okay. And I just heard a podcast. It's called

History of Rock and Roll and 500 Songs or something, where they dove into this band I didn't know anything about called the Fairport Convention. Oh, is this Sandy Denny? This is Sandy Denny. Oh, I love Sandy Denny. Wow. Good job, Rob Bruce. I learned so much about this British folk rock group called Fairport Convention. They are amazing.

I knew nothing about them. Yep. I learned so much about this British folk rock group called Fairport Convention. They are amazing. I knew nothing about them. Yeah. But Sandy Denny was in Fairport Convention and they shared a bill in 1970 with Led Zeppelin. And they became friends of Sandy Denny. And Sandy Denny is the only voice that's not in Led Zeppelin that's ever appeared on a Led Zeppelin song. Her music. Sort of like Amy Mann on that Rush song, Time Stand Still.

Wow. Sandy Denny's music is gorgeous. Her solo stuff and her, the albums with Fairport Convention are so good. It's a really cool era of music. That British folk stuff. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna play a little bit of it in a minute

because I didn't know anything about, and I'm sure Bob's learning about Fairport. Yep, 100%. I've never heard of it. But did you know, do you know how it ended for Sandy Denny? Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. Do you know how it all came to an end? She gave birth to Simone Denny, the Canadian singer. That's a mind blow.

She founded Denny's restaurant. You wonder how old Sandy Denny was when she died? Sandy Denny became Sandy from the spoons. She was young. Yeah. No, no, I'm wrong. You're wrong. Give this man another beer. 1978, Sandy Denny, she hit her head in a fall

and then she died of a mid brain hemorrhage, a traumatic mid brain hemorrhage, pretty traumatic. She died. She was only 31 years old. Oh dear. If she was 27, she would have been part of the list. And that's why nobody knows her. She'd get more press.

She was 27. Ham sandwich. So Sandy Denny on this Led Zeppelin song, but let me play a little bit of that band and then I got a question for Bom. Yeah, it's a lot of... This is like their most famous song. I went to the most popular song.

I still don't know it, but I went to it. It's been recorded by lots of others as well. Okay. know it but I went to it. It's been recorded by lots of others as well. Okay. I'd hit the post but I have no fucking clue where it is. You can feel it man, feel it. Indie 88. No, no. Just keep saying that. Sandy Denny, British. All the birds are leaving. You'll hear this voice on the Battle of Evermore

by Led Zeppelin. On the only album I ever owned. Only Led Zeppelin helped me ever own. It's time for them to go. It's like a Joni vibe, right? Big time Joni vibe. She's like the British Joni Mitchell. Cool.

And you're right Rob, when you said this is like her big song that's been covered by many artists. Still didn't ring a bell, like not even a cover ring the bell. What's the name of the song? Who knows where the time goes oh I feel like I've heard that title it's been recorded by Judy Collins Nina Simone 10 000 Maniacs oh do you know what I'm thinking it's a bare naked ladies line where does the time go when it's not around here that's on the first album it's like either like blame it on me or something great it's like either like blame it on me or something. Great. It's like if you took Joni Mitchell and you married Joni Mitchell to Janis Joplin, maybe, but I heard more than this song. Like there's a lot of

Janis Joplin vibes in some of her stuff here, but okay. So my question for you, Bob. Okay. Why did Matt Cameron quit Pearl Jam? They're gonna be on their sixth drummer of my math is correct. Yeah, but you know all like five of them were in the first two years and then he's been there for like twenty seven years or something. I think he so when you watch the footage now of the last show in Pittsburgh, which was the last show of this of this tour at the end of the show, they all come out. They have like shots and champagne, so they knew then it his, and he hugged, they all hug him. Did they know? Yeah. I, they knew then, um,

I think it's amicable. I honestly, he's 62. Um, I think he doesn't want to be Charlie watt. Yeah. I think he's just done. He's a very, he's in great shape. Yeah. But like super early, so he bikes as much as I do. But if you think, if you think about it, like if you just lose the passion just a touch and you don't have to, why would you? You wouldn't. You wouldn't.

If you lose, like if he's not enjoying the, the chutzpah, whatever it is, not the chutzpah, it's one thing. Yeah, like if he's not enjoying the vibe that comes with that. And you never know what goes on behind the scenes with a band as far as the business associations. Like some bands, they spend more time on the road at a certain point

in their career because that's where the pro jam is on the road all the time. Right. So if he's sick of that, there's no creative balance with that. Nope. And I mean, the last few albums were very different when they did Gigatar and it took them forever to do. And then when they did the last one, Dark Matter, Dark Matters, they actually, I can't remember the name of the guy, but the guy's like a huge Pearl Jam fan, the guy who produced it. And so he was like, let's, uh, just do this faster guys. Like, like just like in and he may end the album sound their songs that sound like old Pearl Jam. Wow. But if he wasn't into it, I, so here's my answer. I have no idea. I hope he just retires because I

feel like that's what it is. There's a rumor he's going to go to fighters fighters. I know. Oh, I heard that too. They need a drummer. Yeah. I think that's a rumor. That's somebody just like put slot. Yeah. Yeah. Put like tab a into slot B. That's all that is well stated. If he does, then fine. But I don't get a long time, but it like how many different drummers appeared on a Pearl Jam album? That's five different drummers. So there's uh um yeah there's I don't think that he has a bruise. I would have to go through it all but I like cruising was a first cruising on 10 cruises on 10 a bruise is on someone between the two. What? Isn't there somebody between those two gentlemen? No, I don't think so.

Dave cruising, David Bruze, then Jack Irons and then it maybe I don't know. I look at maybe well, you're the Pearl Jam fan too, but I'm just don't it interesting that there is interest. No one else in the band. Everyone else is an OG member except the drummer, which is on number six. It's really number six. Wow. It's going to be the next guy will be number six. It's sort of a spinal tap thing. Yeah. It's just, just interesting. Oh, it's Matt. Matt Chamberlain came in. Oh yes. Yeah. So Dave Cruz and Matt Chamberlain, David Bruze, Jack Irons and Matt Cameron. And then also, uh, Josh has done drums. Uh, when he wrote, when Matt, uh, which by

the way, I I've interviewed Josh. Oh yeah. So I get, so Josh, who, uh, what's his last name? Freeze Josh freeze. So he was, he's, he replaced, um, one of the many times he replaced for Shanta and, uh, and red hot chili peppers. So I get, we get, I was at 94 and I in the rock at the time and I'm like, okay, you're going to, you're going to get somebody from the chili peppers. You're going to go all the way to Hamilton and you're going to get somebody from the chili peppers. You get the whole band is going to be there. So I'm like, flee. I'm like, no, I'm like, yeah, I'm like, flee.

Or Chad, or Anthony, I get Josh. And everybody's like, who the fuck is Josh? But he's actually in the. That's like me, I asked for somebody from the Down Child Blues Band because they were calling it quits. I wanted somebody and I got like, I mean, no disrespect to him,

but it's one of these like guys I never heard of playing some brass instruments. But I couldn't name anybody in the, but it's one of these like guys I never heard of playing some brass and so, but I couldn't name anybody in the day. I couldn't name anybody. Donnie Walsh is a known guy. I want to Donnie Walsh and then there's the guy who was Mike Bullard's half brother. Okay.

Something, something Jackson I want to say, but okay. I'm just going to quickly touch base with live.toront Toronto Mike calm and then I have a question for you Rob Bruce okay but let me click on over so there's some talks cuz spinal tap 2 is coming out VP of sales tells me that Sean William Clark came on Toronto Mike to kick out the jams and he kicked out a sandy Jenny jam no cool sandy Danny's actually hard to say really fast difficulty of a lot of common names Mike talks about yeah, so Midtown Gord, who's our big, you know, local metalhead, he's on the live stream and he's got the four CD Led Zeppelin box set, but he bought it for 20 bucks. So he only, he bought it used

obviously if it's 20 bucks, I guess. YYZ, this is also, that band is also a blind spot for him. So we're not alone, Bob. And that being a blind spot, Leslie talks about having her in through the door vinyl. Yes. And she's got a key point there. When they released that album in 1979, the cover, there was like four different covers and they were all fucking watercolor paint by numbers. So it was like a photograph, but everyone had different types of colors. It was really fun. So she had one, I had one and everybody had a different surprise.

That's cool. Yeah, it was cool. I have a note here for you, Rob. And I'm not even sure the context exactly, but it says the police playing the horseshoe tavern in Toronto in 1978. I know this because I've talked to the Gary's about this a hundred times. Were you there? Yeah, no, I wasn't.

So why you were like 78, you wouldn't have been old enough to get into the horseshoe. Okay. But did you say on social media, you were there as a joke? Of course I did. And because I literally, I saw, I was there. I saw something. It might've been Facebook. When you said you were at the police con, so I took a note because I had no fucking clue you were there. We talk about it all the time. I had a hundred. What you need to do is read more than the first sentence. It's like reading a headline. So you read more than the head. You lied. My whole show. No, because I said, I said I was there exclamation point and then like two lines later I said, of course I

wasn't okay. Nobody does that. Bob, would you have read two lines? Two lines is a lot. I don't know. My whole show is just headlines. I was going to do 30 minutes on your experience. I wish I was police cons at the horseshoe tavern. I feel, uh, can I beep beep beep back it up just for one second on your Led Zeppelin thing? When you played that song, uh, battle of evermore. Yep. My memory of that song more than Led Zeppelin is that it's on the single soundtrack sung by the Ann and Nancy Wilson.

I was going to say, yeah, I know that song because of the singles version. What an album. And it's such a beautiful album. It's a Jack Pearl Jam song. It's a great soundtrack. It was my introduction to so much. And, uh, what's the singles version. And it's such a beautiful album. And Jack Pearl Jam songs. It's a great soundtrack. It was my introduction to so much. And what's the other one? Stay in love and trust and breathe.

And mother love bone is on there. And that's the first time I heard. It's the crown of thorns. Oh, and seasons. Yeah. The whole thing really. I nearly screaming trees. I nearly lost you.

So good. I nearly lost you. I actually find his movies kind of fucking tripe, but. Even Fast Times, he wrote Fast Times. He wrote Fast Times? I just, the stuff that he directs is just so cheap. Jerry Maguire? Just cheese ball to me.

What about the one with the band aid, I Am The Lizard Queen, a whole new closer tiny dancer. Yeah, that's almost famous. That's the cheesiest of them fucking all. That one is- I love almost famous. That moment when they'reiest of them fucking all that one. I love all that moment when they're in that bus and they all start singing tiny dance and they look at each other all knowingly I wanted to fucking throw some you found it like okay so you found it I actually love that scene and I love that movie

that's maybe I like cheese I don't drink a guire I found it and again I was younger when I watch it maybe I'd like it more, but. The hell's sky? Yeah. Yeah, I just never been a, yeah. I love Jerry Maguire. And how often do you get a chance to say, I did not shoplift the pooty. And have anybody understand what you're talking about. And if they do, then you know.

Well, hello there. We're going to sleep, John B. John B. My grandfather and me. Mike's just like, shut the fuck up, guys. Around Nassau town. I actually wanted to talk about this song last toast, but I was really watching the clock. Yeah, you were. I had to receive the palma pasta and you guys were there.

No, we need you to it. When Palma was... Oh, I received the palma pasta. Did you guys eat any meatballs? Yep. I did not. I did. I missed out on the meatballs, but here's the big question, because Leslie Taylor is

on the live stream. Did you guys get one of Leslie's cookies? I did. All those were excellent. They were good too. He knows I missed out on the cookies. I think I had about four actually. I'll kill you. I think I had about four actually.

I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Oh yeah, Snoop Jon B. So Brian Wilson passed away. We already talked about that last toast. But, I want to just... Do you guys know the story behind this song from Pet Sounds? No, I do not. I don't remember.

It's very interesting, so I'm just gonna share it with you. Although I wanna like, Vant the Beat. It's like pop-up video now. When it goes acapella, I like to turn it up, right? It's like pop-up video. This song is a rearrangement of a folk song from the Bahamas. Yeah. Oh.

You knew that? I just thought you did know. Wait a minute. I mean, yeah. Are you gonna lie about everything now? No, no, I'm not lying. I'm just letting you say it because it's interesting for you to- No, I said, do you guys know the origin? And I heard no, no.

No, I said, yeah, but no. You said no. You said no. You're lying. Rewind the tape. Once you start lying- Yeah, I know. It's true. You can't stop lying, Bruce.

Oh, because I said I was at the police gate. I've been lying- Can I believe that until right now? Like until 10 minutes ago? Yeah. That's so cool. You thought I was so much- I copied and pasted it from Facebook and I took a note. Wow. But you didn't copy the whole thing.

No, just the line I didn't need. Not the line that came later saying, no, it wasn't there. That's right. Hold on. I feel so broken. I wanna go home. Over John DeSale. It's a go-to album for me still, man.

I didn't know that, obviously Want to hear how stupid I am? I had no idea until very recently that Good Vibrations is not on Pet Sound. Crazy, right? Well, I don't own any Beach Boys album. I think I maybe had a greatest hits or something. But I just assume Good Vibrations was on Pet Sound. It's not. I know it's weird, right?

It was going to be on Smiley. It's not. I know, it's weird, right? Well, it was gonna be on Smiley. It was gonna be on Smile. Smile, yeah. And Smile never happened. And it appeared on Smiley Smile. I do have like a special edition of Smile CD, like a whole thing.

Yeah. Okay, so the folk song from the Bahamas was called The John B. Sales, okay? And I'm going to play a 1935 recording of it okay this is the the oldest recording of the patroller seriously Oh, let me go home. Let me go home. Oh, let me go home. Let me go home. Oh, let me go home. I can't go back. But where to go home?

If this happened 30 years later, Moby would have turned it into a whole album. I'm a captain going to send it down. And they go back to people's town. I'm going to stand for the captain. Sure, let me go home. Let me go home. Oh, let me go home. So this is the Cleveland Simmons group. I'm gonna stand by the captain So this is the Cleveland Simmons group 1935 recording of the folk song from the Bahamas

So but this is not the version That Brian Wilson is rearranging okay the Kingston trio From Bob's former place of employment, Kingston, Ontario. But the Kingston Trio knew that folk song and they did this. And this is what Brian Wilson heard. What year did they do this? I have to Google it. It's got to be in the 50s. But this is what-

Oh yeah. So this sounds more like the Brian Wilson. So he's not remixing it, he's stealing it. He rearranges it? He's what it is. Oh, yeah. This sounds more like the promise. So he's not remixing it. He's stealing it. He rearranges it. Somewhat, because he added that acapella part. Did the Kingston Trio get any money? Or did the old?

It's like a public domain song. Is it? Oh, is it? Because it's like doing Silent Night or something? Yeah, right. OK. The Kingston Trio is going after a piece of that pet sound. Is the Kingston Trio similar to the Leslie Spittrio? I think so. Isn't that T-R-E-E-O?

It is, yeah. I should get them on Toronto Mike. Leslie? So Leslie Spittrio. How many, I don't know how many people are in that band? Three? I would hope so. Although Ben Folds five is what was only three. Right. Also I just had the Holly Cole, Holly Cole was in the basement and I asked her why they're not called the trio anymore and she said because they weren't threesome anymore. They added more people.

Okay, so that's it. This is our tangent. That's a tangent. You wanted to do this when Brian Wilson passed away. So I had it loaded up the sloop John B and I was worried last week I would be late and then I was worried Paul Mopasta would leave. Can I tell you something that's not a lie?

I did meet Brian Wilson once. Can you tell us that story? Yeah, it's a short story. I was on tour with Cats, the musical in Minneapolis and it was- Were you the magical Mr. Mustoflis? No, I was Mungo Jerry. No. Um,

so we were performing in Minneapolis and he was playing down the street at another theater. Cool. And I knew I couldn't go to the show because I was like, well, we have a performance, dammit. And I couldn't take the night off. So we finished our sound check and, and me and a couple of the drum and his sound. We went to the stage door and knocked on the door and like said, the stage man, we're down the street, like a chart to be all professional and said, we're with this musical down the street and we can't come to the performance. Maybe we can watch the sound check. And this guy was like, hang on. So Brian's wife came to the door. She's

like, sure. Come on in. So we got to go and sit in the theater and watch the sound check. And then I was like nervous because we just watched them on the stage. This was when he was first starting to come back empty. Like it's just like Melinda was like in front of me a couple of hits ahead. She came back and she's like, Brian's, she described it. She said he's paranoid, schizophrenic, something, something. She's very open about his illnesses, right? And that was the first time he was starting to go back on the road again in the early 1999.

So before we left and I was thanking her and I said, do you think there's any chance we can say hi to Brian? And then she's like, well, they just went backstage for dinner, but come on. So she brought us back. So we went back and he was just sitting at a table about to eat dinner. And like, we just sort of stood there and said, nice to meet you.

Shook his hand and then left. Cause I didn't want to bug him. But didn't get an autograph. And yeah, that was it. So. Yeah, that's a good story. It's a fast story. And now?

Now we've been Hanson's. Yeah. Rise it up. Get that one. Now I'm going to try. Bob's crack it open is a Berliner. What did you do with these? Mine did that one. Now I'm gonna try. Bob's crackin' open is a Berliner. What did you do with these? Mine's a tattoo.

I know. I didn't do anything. I took it out of the fridge. It's been there. And you shook it up for a week. Okay, so we're kicking out iJams, EYE iJams, and none of us chose this very obvious huge IJam. But I thought I'd share a couple of fun facts and some mind blows tied to this song by a band,

No One As Survivor. They are Survivor, No One As Survival. They are survivors. No one as. I have something I want to, when you're done, your facts. This is actually very interesting. This is compelling audio. I assure everybody listening. For Rocky III, the director and star Sylvester Stallone wanted to use Queen's Another One

Bites the Dust. Sure. But he was denied permission, couldn't use Another One Bites the Dust, so he went to Survivor and he had Survivor make this song, this massive i-jam. This is an original? This is an original Survivor make this song, this massive eye jam. So this is an original? This is an original Survivor song written for Rocky III. Oh.

Did you? You can hear it. Did it get nominated for an Oscar? Oh, but you know what the rest of this story is, though? I got a lot. Let me finish. I'll finish it. Then you two can tell me.

Everybody, there's a lot more going on here, OK? And I find this kind of fascinating. So this is Survivor's Eye of the Tiger, number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100. It was there for almost as long as Informer. It was there for like six weeks Okay The guy singing this song the lead singer of Survivor for this particular song We're listening to right now. His name is Dave Bickler. Okay. Yeah, I'm just gonna random Share something else that features Dave Bickler. Okay, so listen to this and tell me if you remember this campaign Budweiser presents real men of genius

Same fucking guy what year though like just like 90s Into the 2000 When conventional wisdom said no one So the singer everybody is the guy singing Eye of the Tiger. Cool. You dared to dream. Dared to dream.

You knew the limitations of a regular sized hot dog bun and you ignored them. Can't stop me now. You made a 10 inch wiener and people cheered. But you weren't satisfied. You said, wait, I think I can still give you two more inches. a 10 inch wiener and people cheer but you weren't satisfied you said wait I think I can still give you two more inches so this buds for you mr. hot dog GLB only guys because you gave every single one of us our fondest wish winner. Oh, that's so funny.

So I have the tiger, of course, the biggest hits survivor ever had, but their next biggest hit was from the next Rocky Rocky or Drago. I have the Russian. Yeah, I must play kill if he dies. Sounds like the same song. It's exactly the same. Glad you guys are sitting. I'm about to blow your fucking minds. Okay. So this is the second biggest hit survivor ever had is called burning heart, and this is from Rocky IV. Do you know this is a different singer? Who would have known?

Dave Bickler leaves the band. I don't know, he had some singing problems after that last album, and they replace Dave Bickler as lead singer. This is actually Jimmy Jamison. Of course it's Jimmy Jamison. Jimmy, James, Jimmy Jamison. It's the exact same song. It's the exact same song.

It's the exact same song. It's a little bit slower. It's missing that... Oh, I gotta tell you a fun fact about that. Go ahead. So, because you mentioned... How come he gets to go? I want it to go. Oh yeah, you know, I thought I get to finish first.

Because you mentioned that they wanted Queen and another one bites the dust. Those accents at the beginning of I the tiger Match the rhythm. Oh, I believe that And there's it goes Because they wanted to cut the shots you have logic make a mashup. I'm gonna make a can I play you something? No I'm almost done. So burning heart. This is another cuz you know people say name another survivor song. Yeah, this was a hit This is her it was but the guy's singing. This is the new guy

He's no longer with us by the way shout out to Ridley funeral home to James Amos and has passed away Okay, pretty recently but this is the voice of that same Jimmy Jameson who was the singer and survivor After the guy who sang I have the tiger. This is him on this song. I recognize this, but there's a theme show, a theme song from a show, a very popular show. I'm going to go to the live stream and a theme song from a show. A very popular show. The Lilas Hogarth. The riff. I'm gonna go to the live stream and see if they know the show. ["It's Gonna Be Alright"]

Yeah, I've got those notes. Oh, I didn't end my thing. Did you hear my fix you? So bad. Chi Ho got it right away. What is it? I don't know. This is the theme song to Baywatch. Oh,

I never watched it. I didn't watch it either, but it was a lot of people did. So the same guy, same guy. There you go. Nice. Good job. Thanks Mike. And one more final little tag on this, and then I'll pass the baton to you guys to finish up, mop up all the fun. Mop up the eye of the tiger. It will actually kick out the I-Jams. Okay. One more fun fact and I'm kind of repeating myself because I did this on a toast. Try to be best because you're only a man and a man's got to learn to take is this a try to believe go the goal and gets rough. No, I hang tough to me. My heart rate. I'm ready to run through a fucking wall. So work out the like a scene like it's a very popular movie that I love.

Oh, you're the best. I know it, too, but I couldn't name it right now. I'll help you. You know, you know this rub. You don't know it at all. It's vaguely familiar. That tells me Rob Bruce did not watch the karate kid. That's it.

Now, not what? Oh yeah. I mean, I did see it, but I don't remember it. Look, I look, I that's the generation gap, right? I know Leah would quote the shit out of it. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah.

Oh yeah. It's me. So love that fucking movie. This quote the shit out of it. Yeah, for sure. Oh yeah, she's the same age as me. Yeah. So, loved that fucking movie. This is the montage movie, okay? So here's the wrap up here, and I think people who paid attention to Toast know where I'm going.

Not Toast, it was Pandemic Friday. Okay. This song was written for Rocky III. And they didn't want it. Sylvester Stallone said no, and he got Survivor to make Eye of the Tiger. And that's why in this song you hear history repeats.

Oh that's amazing. Wow. Because LaRou's date, what was his name? Johnny LaRusso? What was his name? Yeah. Johnny LaRusso, whatever his name was. He, that was his first ever tournament.

History wasn't repeating, it was his first tournament. That lyric never made sense. This song was written for Rocky III. Did you spend a lot of nights thinking about that, Mike? This is how it begins. This is how it begins before you have a blog. I'm ready to share anything for it. I love it.

Leslie says this is the theme song to a sports podcast she sometimes listens to. Oh, she's used to other podcasts. Survivor did have another big hit that I was just looking it up with Jimmy. They're not as big as Burning Heart. No, but it's called The Search Is Over. It was a great song.

And what was it? Did you sing it? No, it was number four. Musician. I know, but because with other music playing, I can't quite picture it, but when I see the title- Also, one more fun little fact that just ties it all together is that the guy who directed Prodigy Kid

directed Rocky. Yes. Really? Yeah. Because after Rocky won, Sylvester's like, I'm directing my own fucking Rockies now. So Rocky directs two and three. Yeah. I know. Or did so Stallone directed all of those two, three and four for sure. Five was with Tommy. Uh, might've been this guy again. Yeah. He might've brought back this guy for five. Yeah. That was the street fighting one. He's also shows really funeral home. Yeah. He might've brought back this guy for five. Yeah. That was the street fighting one. He's also shows really funeral home. Yeah. So you had

some things. No, that was it. Okay. No. Yeah. I just have a couple things when it comes to either tiger. First of all, I had asked it one, the Daniel LaRusso, Daniel LaRusso, Johnny, Johnny LaRue, Johnny LaRue. Um, it won best rock performance. It got the, uh, it got a Grammy for the eye. The I, the tiger did it was nominated for song of the year, but it lost to always on my mind to Willie Nelson. But here's the thing I was like, it's an original song for a movie. It was nominated for an Oscar, but it lost to up where we belong officer and a gentleman,

Buffy St. Marie and Oscar. That's right. There you go. And until recently, we considered that the first ever indigenous person to win an Oscar. It's an Italian American who won the Oscar. Just like her Saint. She's just like her Scorsese. They rescinded her Order of Canada.

Well, you know why though? Because she's not Canadian. And then, oh, that's true. That would be a good reason why. A lot of stuff was rescinded for silly reasons, like, oh, she's not not Canadian. Right. And then, oh, that's true. That would be a good reason. Why a lot of stuff was rescinded for like silly reasons, like, Oh, she's not actually Canadian. Right. Right. Right. Um, and then my, I wanted to, when it comes to either tiger, I talked about it a lot recently because Rick Derringer just passed away. Oh, right. Right. And Rick Derringer, of course did real American, which was the theme song for Hulk Hogan, but

it was originally written for Barry Windham and Mike Rotundo, who were the, who were the tag team champion. You go back further. It was written for Bonnie Tyler. Was it? No, I, the song way I know, but I'm talking about the production of it, but before that, right. What did Hulk Hogan come out to? Oh, don't, don't, don't tell me survivors. I have the tiger. That is exactly it. Yes. And so I can still, he's in Rocky three. I can still remember being like in 1987, 1986, I'm 10 or 11 years old in Maple Leaf gardens. And before real American has done in that did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did, did,

I, I'm, I'm getting chills. Like I, I was a big Hogan head and do you see him in gardens? Oh yes. Like many times. Oh my God. And I literally it and my dad used to say before he passed away too. And I've, I've read it elsewhere. I don't ever remember being in a louder arena than when that eye of the tiger started and Hulk Hogan was coming out like, look, look at my arms. Like I'm such a loser. My I've like, I have goosebumps like crazy. Yeah. That Hulkamania was real. And you know, I guess I got two on you. So we're similar, but that was so big to us in the mid eighties. Yeah. That hulking mania was real. And you know, I guess I got two on you. So we're similar, but that was so big to us in the mid eighties. Yeah. Yeah.

I had that same feeling when I saw kiss play. Yeah, I know. I believe that. Yeah. But it's true. It's when you're in an arena, they're both fake performers. Yeah, it was true. No, but when you're in an arena and the vibe is like that, right? Yep. It's magical. Or when you're in a stadium, Roger's stadium and you feel like everything's going to fall down cause it's just scaffolding. That's right. You know what're in a stadium, like Roger's stadium, and you feel like everything's gonna fall down because it's just scaffolding. That's right. You know what you guys should do this weekend?

What? You should celebrate the festival of India Chariot Fest at Center Island. I talked about it today on my radio show. I bet they got good feedback. You know, Waterfront. And I didn't get paid to do it. Waterfront BIA is a new sponsor of Toronto Mines.

So I'm shouting out like events that are happening on the Waterfront. They're going to go, this parade goes down Yonge street, but then the celebrations move to centre Island for the rest of this weekend. It's open and free for all. Really? Even you, Rob Bruce is offered something for everyone with its diverse mix of celebrations and fun. So welcome the waterfront BIA and celebrate the festival of India Chariot Fest on Center. Did Bob spill his beer again? No, no, it's just from before. I hadn't had a chance.

I've actually attended the festival India in New York City many times over the years and this year I missed it because it was raining I believe, but it's connected with the Hare Krishna's always take part in the festival as well. And they in New York in Washington Square Park, they do a big spread and they have food and they have music and stuff. And cause they do amazing. They do a big parade down fifth Avenue, but I'm sure the one here is amazing as well.

Ours is way better. That ours is way better tomorrow. Yeah. That's a this weekend, Saturday, July, Saturday and the 12th and 13th. And while you're enjoying amazing Toronto events, get your butts to Christie Pitts. No ticket required, so it's free to attend. You can drink a Leafs lager.

You can get yourself a hot dog and take in some amazing baseball. It's just so entertaining. Every time I'm at Christie Pitts for a Maple Leafs game, I have a fantastic time, and I'm like, I can't believe no ticket required. So get your ass to Christie Pitts. You got it, Rob Bruce?

Got it. Get it. I'm not messing around here. Recyclemyelectronics.ca is where you go with your, well, you in New York, I don't know if it works, but your mom in Burlington can go there, put in her postal code, and then find out where she drops off those old Blackberry cables

she's been hoarding. I've seen the place in Burlington actually, I believe it's called Burlington camera. And I went in there and I think that there's a sticker right on the door that says recycle my, Oh my God. Yeah. And you know what? Jill Deacon was just on the show and then she was that she said, this is the best piece of information I received today. She's got to get rid of a whole bunch of old electronics.

It's all going to recycle my electronics dot C C a what do you want to say Rob? Proost before your first eye jam? I don't think I want to say anything. I am sounds gross by the way. I know it's my fault. That's right. Well, I guess I'm I jam here. I think that we can just let her, can I just quickly say I was going to, I was thinking of how I was going to plug the show today and I didn't get a chance to as I ran out of time, but I was going to say, it's a, I'm going to do something with a boon,

a spoon and a Bob. No, really? Yeah. I didn't get to do it. You didn't have time. I didn't ma. No, I, you know what? I had bare naked ladies sticks to give away and then I had to play my friend done when them might. Yeah. And then I had, uh, my, I had to play my fix Rogers stadium cover that I've done. Um, uh, yeahid it's really bad. I sent it. I would have played it. Oh, I can't sing. It's on. It's no, I can't sing falsetto. So it was, it's really bad, but the lyrics are very good. It's very smart. I was like, but it's a minute 20, which is what a parody should be. But anyways, I thought a boon, a spoon and a player pack them to sing those things. You

write, you know what I should, I wish I can, I can't move this so fast and there was nobody around in the radio station, nothing and I can make music for you too. Yeah. No, I, yes. Can you sing that? Can you sing like a little bit? Yeah, I can. Well, I mean, I can manipulate my, no, I bet you would have been able to do it. Yeah. I should. I never even next time. Ask me. It was like the day of like I literally, I was going to sing that. No, I tried. Trust me. I tried. I spent a ton of time on AI trying to get the, but it won't do an original song. No, I tried. Trust me. I tried. I spent a ton of time on AI trying to get the, but it won't do an original song. No, they won't do a parody. That's right. Yeah. Here is so what I want to say,

but didn't you say you have nothing to say? I changed my mind. That's the third lie today. First of all, I saw the police in 1978 when I was 12. Second lie. Uh, I, I forgot what that was. Um, this is, uh, the first song that came into my head for this topic. For Eyes. For Eyes. And this is not the original version, but let it go for a while and see

when you realize what song it is. ["Don't Think Sorry's Easily Said"] Don't think sorry's easily said And don't try turning tables instead You've taken lots of chances before But I'm not gonna give anymore Don't ask me that's how it goes Cause part of me knows words you're gonna regret Don't let the fire rush to your head I've heard the accusations before And I ain't gonna take any more Believe me, the sun in your eyes Made some of the lies worth believing Bob does this mean anything to you? Um I thought it did for a second I am the eye in the sky did for a second. Oh, yes.

Now it does. Yes. Yeah, now it does. There you go. Who's covering it? It's Jonathan Brooke. Who? Jonathan Brooke?

Jonathan? Jonathan? Is this a guy? No. Jonathan with no N. Jonathan Brooks, singer-songwriter from New York. Are they non-binary? No. Oh.

Jonathan? Jonathan. I think that's a? No. All right. Jonathan. Jonathan. I think that's a typo on the Bruce Lee. There's a whole movement of like, of singer-song, of like this kind of like really, really stripped down versions of big songs. There's a whole, on Spotify, it's all over the place. Can I roll into the one we know?

Yes. So, This Eye in the Sky, right? Yeah. Yeah, here, I ended up at the... What year did she do this? She did this in 2004. OK, so it's 20 years old. 20 years old 20 years old

This is the original of course in 1982, but she released this album in 80 in 2004 called back in the circus Oh, she had a couple of covers She had that a Beach Boys song, but I just thought it was beautiful because I forgot about the song Yeah, and hearing it like that. I thought man. I forgot what a beautiful song. This is this the original this Yeah, you know this it's obvious But who is it? Who is the band? Because I'm in the sky.

I know it. Like, I can't see. I don't have it in front of me. Who could it be? Now, who could it be now? Is this a Yacht Rock song? It's been voted a top Yacht Rock song. I don't think it's.

I wouldn't have never considered it that. Oh, I feel it's got that. I know. It does have a vibe. It does, because of the electric piano and stuff. But it's a British band. I don't think Brits don't have yachts. Fair, they don't have yachts. Except for Andreas. They have skiffs? No, I don the electric piano and stuff. But it's a British band. I don't think Brits don't have yachts. Fair, they don't have yachts.

Except for Andreas. They have, um, Skiffs? No, I don't know what they have. That's, yeah. They play skiffle. It's British, eh? Yep. Did you bring some mind blows or fun facts? No.

You gonna give the artist name to Bob. Maybe Rob's in a different mood today. Oh, no Rob's a little spicy. No, he's missing his wife. He likes it when she comes to these things It's Rob's coming out party. Here comes the original chorus. Yeah yeah I just think it's a beautiful song it is oh this is so this is yacht rock like it would clear but it's not really because 1982 I mean it is sort of 82 is still yacht rock like total Africa was like 81 wasn't it? 82 I think this is what it was. 802? This is the era of Yacht Rock.

But I would not classify as Yacht Rock. Tom H, as he's referred to on the live stream, I don't want to dox him. He says this was also the first song he thought of. Yeah, good. When we mentioned this subject. Oh, Alan Parsons project. Alan Parsons project.

So yeah, great minds think alike. When you need an I in the title, you get I in the sky. This is interesting. 1236, F FTM Hall of Famer says good Jonathan Brooke With who's Colburn? Oh, yeah, that's cool. Yeah, she's amazing. Her musical career is fantastic I never heard of Jonathan Brooke until now. You also never heard of Sandy Denny. So that's on you But I may have heard of Mike. Yeah, I mean, I don't know any song No, I don't know any songs by Sandy Denny. No, I know.

But Alan Parsons, like he's got an amazing history before he even began this band. You know, he was an engineer in Abbey Road Studios. He engineered Beatles albums, Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon. He was the engineer on these records. And then he certainly started this side project. Yeah. And he had some great songs. He points out something. I wish this had been your mind blow, but the song that segues into this on the album is what we know, Bob and I would know as the Chicago Bulls entrance music. I didn't have that fun fact.

That's fun. You might have to pull that one up. You might have to find it. Yeah. It'll be easy to find. That's really cool. So he did, yeah. So Alan Parsons was on the board for those albums.

Running the board. Crazy, right? I know. And so he's not even singing. Like, he has not the singer in this band. He doesn't sing this. He wrote, he played keyboards and stuff, and produced it, of course.

I couldn't have told you much about Alan Parsons, but now I want to know more. They had a few. And he's still with us. Yep. I saw him play once. Oh, a few. And he's still with us. Yep. I saw him play once. Oh yeah, that's it. Ladies and gentlemen.

Really? By the way, I loved these. Yeah. Naughty. This guy wrote this? Yeah. Alan Parsons wrote this? Okay, that's pretty cool.

And this song is before that one, Your Eye in the Sky. Yeah. So it goes from this into Eye in the Sky? Isn't that crazy? Oh, it's so good. You're Chicago Bulls. From North Carolina. Number 23, Michael Jordan. That's amazing. What a time to be alive. That wasn't bad. I would hire you. I could have said North Carolina. Tar Heels. Do Scotie Pippen. He was from Arkansas or something.

Oh, I couldn't tell you. Okay, listen. This is great. Would you classify this as Yacht Rock? No. No, this is not Yacht Rock. This is too epic. So how could you have Yacht Rock merged with this?

Like, this is why I think the Yacht Rock term is a little bit vague. It's the sound. It's the sound. I know, it's about the sound. No, you're right. But it's interesting because knowing that Alan Parsons, it's a British project, it's in the same era. So they use the, but it's interesting because knowing that Alan Parsons, it's a British project

It's in the same era. So they use the same instrumentation. That's what makes it yadi. It's just a yadi Yeah, I mean yacht rock is like it's funny. There's a rapper named little yadi. I know Yeah, I know there's a rapper named little anything little yadi little anybody little or a post something Yeah, this music is super cool. It reminds me of little Abner. Yeah, he was a rapper too. Little Abner. I was in little Abner. I played earthquake. Magoon. Yes. Step aside for earthquake. Magoon. Yep. Oh yeah. So like nothing big here. He was he just happened to be on Ab. He was Abbey road. He was the engineer. Yeah. Wow. No

crazy. They're calling this prog rock on the life. I would say that's prog rock, which is good. You know what? Then that's the only prog rock song I like. Ah, I don't like more than you know. Maybe if you want to call it prog rock. So Alan Parsons is prog slash yacht. Right? Really? I would say because because they're British from those two songs. I get that. Yeah, there you go. So that's my I jam. I like it. starting with Jonathan. That's a good one. Yeah, it's going. No, listen, there's no wrong answers here in this. There's always yes, there are. Yeah, that's the best part. That's right. Bob's first I jam is the one I had on my

original list. Okay. And then I removed it and took something else, which I said you didn't have to do. I know you said you don't have to. And I said too late. I already did it. I need a beer. So do you and I, but I will. I did keep a fun fact that I didn't have that you didn't have. Okay. So I don't words or do you want me to play? No, because I don't remember what I put first. Well, I'll just say it's an FOTM jam. Oh, oh yeah. Oh, I got lots of, yeah. Great song by the way. Oh,

Great song by the way. I biked by his gravestone today. Really? Park Lawn Cemetery. Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. You live with a crowd like me Surely one last little mystery Oh tonight I lie, the stars above How did I ever win your love? Hey, Bob, before you say anything, I just remembered when we do, because in our headphones, we have the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song.

I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song.

I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song.

I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna go with the song. I'm gonna up with the idea of doing eyes songs, this was the first thing that came to my came to my mind for me Because I just the I know all the lyrics to this still like if they live rent-free in my head

I could do this song like it was on chum FM a ton in the late 80s. He 107 song Yeah, was it my dad listened to chum FM in the late 80s. So this late 80s like 89 Okay, yeah, the album comes out in 88. Wow. Yeah singling. 88 yeah it charted in 89 like it so it was it made it to number five in the US and it only made it to number 16 in Canada crazy that's not buried that lead number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 for Jeff Healy's band yep the Jeff Healy band and so here's what I have hit it's amazing so he seriously he didn't write it. He didn't write it. It's written by John Hyatt, who we don't. Yeah. It's written by John Hyatt and Frank Kohler. These are a

couple of something, but, and it's produced by Greg Landy. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how to pronounce his last name. I believe he worked with fluid Mac. So we're going to talk. My mind blow is about him in a second, but I, here's what I've always, always stood out to me about this song. Like, so you got the blind guy, right? And you're like, OK, so Jeff, we got an idea. Like we're going to we're going to call the album, see the light.

You think and he's like, OK, all right. And he was like, and the big single is going to be you singing about how good somebody looks. And he like, like, like, I picture like an SNL sketch of like, okay, Jeff, look, how's it going there? Are you still blind? You're still blind. Okay. Anyways, that's, that's, that's really good.

It sounds like an idea for a sketch on a TV show. See the light also a fantastic song. Is it? I don't know that album. There are three big radio singles that I remember confidence, man, see the light and angel eyes. Yeah just remember I just said he was like I keep when I was a kid I used to say very inappropriately but there's a line where he says where you see I'm a guy who never learned to dance and in my head because I kept bumping into people of course so I was a very mean have you Have you seen Road House? Road House. Yes.

The original I've seen. I've not seen the Jake Gyllenhaal version. Well I didn't even know there was a remake. Yeah, yeah, total remake. And then, yeah, so this is produced. So anyways, he didn't write the song. Nobody in the band wrote the song. But Greg Landil, who is a prolific producer, also produced one of the most famous songs I would say

from former Eagle yeah he did dirty laundry which I love I love so I love solo Don Henley yes of course huge solo I like solo Don Henley better than I like Eagles music and this is like one of his biggest ones what are you doing here you're like fucking how many things are playing? You're like you have like, oh they're finally. Oh, there it is. When you listen back, you'll say he's a fucking wizard. Yeah, well, I don't think so. So he produced the album, the end of the innocent. Yes, that's yeah. Did he also work with flea of Mac? I feel like maybe he worked with Toto with Toto. With Toto.

On the Kingdom of Desire. Okay. And let's call Stu and ask him. Do him, look at this. I'm living off the evening news. Just give me something. Oh, he did Victory with the Jacksons. Oh wow.

It's weird, he mixed it. That's a good album though. State of Shock. Fleetwood Mac, Behind the Mask. Okay. In 90. Anyways, yeah, so when I started digging into Angel Eyes, this is what stood out to me. Amazing.

A lot of chatter about this, of course. I called it an FOTM jam because the drummer's been over. I would say he could drum for Pearl Jam, but he's... Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. The drummer's dead? He's no longer with us. Oh, so he's a former... He managed Amanda Marshall, who then subsequently had such a bad experience. She took 20 years off right

so there's a whole I saw her there. She was playing in Ottawa Canada Day. So this is what I can't stand still. So he did end of the innocence and I can't stand still. That's crazy. Yeah. Oh and speaking of you know the boys of summer horse and you know who did the cover that gives huge yeah, I don't tell not the Atari. Yep, the Atari. The Atari's just started following me on instagram. No way. Yeah, like out of the blue, they got a new record coming out. They must. Yeah, yeah, they follow all the djs on Indy 88. They do now. Yeah, yeah. Literally over the course of the last week. We all of a sudden we

have a seal that opens the door like he on, because he's on a big time Toronto radio station, it changes things. Now, if he was dealing blackjack at the C&E, would the Ataris be following him? To be fair, it was poker. It was- It was poker. Would Ataris be following him?

It was Omaha, not Texas Hold'em. It was Omaha, it's a much harder game. High stakes. Was that a year ago now? It was like a year ago. Can you name another Atari song? I can't. No, of course not. They're the one hit wonder. Oh no, you know... They're Alien Ant Farm. What do they do? Yeah, yeah.

She was criminal. You've been hit by some of those criminals. That was a move, right, for these guys? Oh, it was great. Yeah, but then what? You can't make a lot of money on that because you didn't own the song. No, but you know what? Then it's about people coming lot of money on that because you didn't own the song. No, but you could, you know what? Then it's about people coming out to see it, I guess. Or getting opening gifts.

I feel like you're opening a lot of shows. Anyways, so that was Angel's. Remember Dynamite Hack? Do you remember Dynamite Hack? No, but no. Tell me who they are and then I'll tell you who I talked about today on here. Dynamite, they covered, and I heard this on the radio,

they covered Boys in the Hood. Oh. Oh, I do remember that now that you say that. I saw them open for Weezer at the Phoenix. Oh wow. So today that's where I played Weezer today, but I also today played. I play, no, I did, uh, it was a sweater song. Um, the one, it was that the one that was produced by Roy Kocasik. Oh wow. The first one. Yeah. Same as not a surf and any of which we talked about here, which is still fun. It's still very fun fact, but I did talk about something that lives again rent free in my head.

You know, the song always something to remind me by naked eyes, naked eyes. So there is a band you from the nineties are late night, early night, late nineties actually called the marvelous three. And they had a song called freak of the week. That was the only, it was a very mild hit, but they opened for Eve six and collective soul at the warehouse. And they covered always something there to remind me amazing. It was so good. And here's what they did because they were this power pop punk like kind of like blink 182 and instead they didn't have keyboards. They went ma wa wa wa. And so every time I hear and I told this whole story on the air today, I was like every day lives rent free in my head.

I think of the band Marvel three which nobody thinks of did you Play the naked eyes version today. I did that's amazing now. You know who wrote that song I do not what it was a hit in the 60s. No shaming on this program Rob Bruce. I'm not shaming. I'm only lying Bert Becker I wrote that song. Oh, I didn't know that yeah. Oh cool, and it was a hit for somebody in the 60s Yeah song. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah. Oh cool. And it was a hit for somebody in the sixties. Yeah. Somebody. Somebody. Like what's her name? Yeah. Who was his muse there? Who sang a lot of those songs? Rebecca Rack. Dion Warwick. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't. Yeah. I don't think it was Dion Warwick. Dion Warwick. It was. Okay. All right. I'm going to just play one thing I was going to play. All right. What was your thing? I took from you. I apologize.

Oh, right. What was your thing? I took from you. I apologize. And this came up recently on Toronto Mike, right? We were talking about John Hyatt and I pointed out the fun fact he wrote Angel Eyes. So I looked up a bunch of John Hyatt. I know the name, but then when I looked at his songs, I'm like, I don't fucking know any of these songs. He's one of those people. You just sort of know his name. That's Angel Eyes. This is Angel Eyes by the guy who wrote it. Oh. He waited a decade before he released it. He released it again. He released it.

Oh. Oh, you're looking fine tonight. It's a blues song, right? Yeah. And every fellow's looking inside. every fellow. Fellas. In his side. What you're doing with a clown like me.

Sounds like, uh. Sounds like Joe Cocker a little bit. I was, yeah. Randy. The toy. Randy Newman. Randy Newman. Yes, a little bit like that too.

I think he's in that world. Yes. Right? He's one of those guys I know his name, and no one can think of his music. So Randy Newman. It's Randy Newman with Joe Cocker on that. That's right.

And we are your love. What did I do? What did I say? What did I say? I can see John Belushi there. Yeah, a little bit. To turn your angel eyes. This is what being on the radio has done to me.

I feel like I'm crazy right now. They've let me. That's a cool version. When the road gets dark. This is his, this is John Hyde's song? Yes. And you can no longer see. I listened to it and I was like, I

don't want this to be a mind blower. I mean, I know the name, but. Just let my love throw a spark. Totally Randy Newman-ish. This is the big John Hyde champ. Yeah. Have a little faith. Oh, yes. to be a mindblower. I mean, I know the name, but totally Randy Newman. This is the big John Hyatt jam. Oh yes. Yes. Totally Randy Newman. I quite like his voice. Yeah, me too. Not a lot of, although this was a hit. I don't know if I had a mild stroke or something, but I'm really noticing the baselines in songs a lot more lately. Like I'm really like, I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Like it's like, oh, I don't, I never know. Oh, I know the song. Yeah. You know me. I only pull the hits. Yes. From the nineties only. Just pull the hits. Yes. Pull the big hits. Yeah, from the 90s only. Where the hits just keep on coming.

Okay. Good job Bobby. So I also was going to kick out that song. I apologize for taking it from you. Oh, you didn't know you took it from me. No. So why do you apologize? You had to change.

Midtown Gourd has a version of Angel Eyes from the aforementioned Amanda Marshall. And Andrew Ward is on the live stream to tell us there's a John Hyatt song that he says is a killer tune. It's called Lipstick Sunset. Oh, cool. Now it's my turn everybody.

I'm gonna kick out my first eye jam. Oh, good one. Praise from Caesar. Yeah. Oh, I don't know it yet. I recognize it now. You're just too good to be true. Oh my god, I was for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Can't take my eyes off you. I got a bit of a mind blow with this fucker too. Buckle up, kids. You'd be like heaven's door. I'm gonna need to pee and a beer pretty soon. Pee and a beer.

I'm gonna hold this song. How long is this short song? It can't happen concurrently. I'm gonna last love. Okay, go pee now. No, okay, I didn't know how long this was. And I'll get your beer. You want a lager?

Yes. How was the Berliner? The Berliner was more coiffable than I thought it was gonna be, given the face that he made when he had it. I got used to it though, I got used to it. No, it's fine. It's fine. The sight of you leaves me weak There are no words left to speak But if you feel like I fear Please let me know that it's real

You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off you I love you baby Frankie Valli, yeah It's quite alright I need you baby Frankie Valley. Yeah. At the end, I'll explain how I thought Bob had two of my jams, but I don't want to tell that story now because it'll spoil things. But Frankie Valley. Can't beat Frankie.

Can't beat Frankie. Okay. Can't beat Frankie. Okay, so his Four Seasons, because Frankie Valli's from the Four Seasons, his Four Seasons bandmate, sorry, Bob, another Bob. There's a lot of Bob's in this story because this song was written by Bob Crew and Bob Gaudio. And Bob Gaudio was a Four Seasons Bandmaid of Frankie Valli. Yep. He wrote a lot of their songs. This was a big hit. Number two on the Billboard Hot 100. That's actually Frankie Valli's biggest

solo hit until he finally hit number one with another Ize song. He hit number one with a song called My Ize Adored You. That was my favorite song that year. Should've kicked it out. It's an iJAM. I never even thought of it until right now. And in the chat, you talked about the Goo Goo Dolls Iris. And I said that's an iJAM. Oh my God.

Because Iris is a part of the eye. I know. And I'm like, oh, he doesn't fucking get the joke. And I'm like, you know how that feels. I'm not gonna explain it to him. I don't want to shame him. I'll wait till I'm on a recording to shame him. I can't believe I didn't think of that song.

It's one of my favorite songs of my childhood. Oh, this one, my eyes are my eyes. Dorothy. Yeah. Well, I when I was like nine years old, we didn't tell the listenership that at the end of this episode and Bob and I don't know what's coming at the end of this episode, it's a new wrinkle. Like a bit of a dictator. I know I love that. This is what we're doing.

Guys, I didn't pick this topic. Yeah. Yeah. Right. And I'm not picking the next topic because Rob Prouse is going to tell us the topic for August. Yeah. And we don't know what it, although not only do we not know what it is, but Bob and I are not allowed to veto it no matter what we talk about the elephant in the room. Yeah. Like you're going to, we're going to have to do it. You're going to have to be online, right? I'm not sure yet. Okay. You didn't even tell me that. No, he's not. He's, he's got a job. I'm starting. I'm starting the Broadway Mamma Mia in two weeks. Mamma Mia. I know.

So I'm on me and Mamma Mia pays for the mortgage. That's right. Um, I'm checking my schedule at this point. Okay. So the elephant in the room is me is like, I don't know when Rob's going to be like, is you six months? You said, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, I think that it might be possible that I might replace you in a fucking heartbeat. Please. I replace Stu. I know I replaced cam. I know I don't want to be Bob and Tyler. I'm doing everything. I can't, you know, it would be good at this. I think Leslie Taylor is going to be Bob. Will that unless Lee Taylor. Yeah. Okay. She seems nice to nice though. Well, she has to bake me cookies.

If she wants to, I don't know. Although I've been actually, you got a logger. And in what case, what I got you Rob Pruse, the light logger. I like the light. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's Monica's favorite beer, the light logger from Great Lakes. It's nice.

Brew are we here. So back to my, I'm in the middle of a jam here. Unless you want to say something about this elephant. My eyes adored you was his second number one. We should talk about it at some point. I'm sorry. I'm worried. I had no idea that you weren't going to be able

to make a trip to Toronto. Well, why would you not say? Have you ever been to, he's gonna be working eight days a week. No, no, no. But I don't know it for a fact yet. So I need, I'm gonna let you know for sure, at least for August. Beyond August, I believe it will be no problem.

All right. Because I'm carving out the time. We need a musical person. Yeah, I know. Of course. You know, whatever, if Bob's here and you're on fucking Zoom or something, we'll figure it out. We'll figure it out.

I mean, you know, you've always got Blair Packham. He was in the jitters and you think that the greatest quarterly show, like rewinder, skiddly, skiddly, snow can replace Rob Bruce. I see my future. Are you ready for this?

A hundred percent. He'd do it. I know for sure. He would, he, yeah. Would you bring it in for once a month? He'd do it. I know for sure he would. He would, yeah. Would you bring it in for- Once a month, he'd be down here to kick out thematic jams with Bob and I. This fucking show would go through the roof.

Fine. That's way bigger than Rob fucking Bruce. I see what's happening here. I'm being Don Draper out of here. Where did Don Draper go? I don't know. I'm only on season five. He's almost there.

I'm only on season five. I don't know what's happening. To get to to the end because I already kicked out the jam related to the end. That's right My goodness. Okay. All right, you go. Let's go. Um, okay. So this is a bit of a mind-blow Okay, so I just told you is written by a couple of Bob's right Bob crew and Bob Gaudio But this is I think this is a mind-blow. I'm going to have to find the spot. So give me a moment here Okay, so I'm gonna tell you the name and I have to find the spot. So give me a moment here. Okay. So I'm going to tell you the name and then I'm going to find the spot. See, this is actually, I don't know how to say these musical words.

What is a D A G I O is. D'Aggio. Funny how I wasn't sure. Okay. A D'Aggio of Spartacus and Phrygia. Oh, Phrygia. This is a section of a 1956 ballet. Oh, I hear it.

It's the song. Spartacus Sweet Number Two by Aram. Or Cachaturian. Yeah. Wow. I know what this is. I know what it is. Snow would have known that.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, Snow would not know that. No, this is, that's right. This is Cachaturian. So you might already start to hear it, but wait till I skip ahead here. Okay, give me a momentary Give me a moment here

Listen to a little this section again, this is from the 50s I might skip ahead a bit more. Yeah. Yeah. You know what? That's Jesus Christ. Superstar. No, you know, here it is. Yeah.

You're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off of you. That's what it is. It was at the beginning as well. So what the fuck? Yeah. Right? What's this called?

Adagio from Spartacus. Yeah. Adagio of Spartacus and Phrygia. Was this in the Spartacus the movie? No, it was in a ballet called Spartacus and Phrygia. Was this in the Spartacus the movie? No, it was in a ballet called Spartacus. And they just lifted the melody. Well, people did that all the time. Why?

That's classical music for you. Well, we're here to fucking share the real talk on some of this shit. The two Bobs, and I ain't talking Proust and Ouellette, Crew and Gaudio lifted the melody from this Adagio of Spartacus. You call that inspiration. Soviet, the guy who wrote it, what'd you call him? Kachaturyan.

He's Soviet, Armenian. Oh yeah, he's amazing, his music is fantastic. Wow, and he's doing this in, like, he was born in 03, died in 78, he's making this, and it sounds like, to the person who doesn't know classical music, it sounds like Beethoven Bach, like all those big guys, it's got that same vibe. It's the violins,, like all those big guys. It's got that same vibe. It's the violins.

It's the orchestra. Yeah. That's cool. That is really cool. Here's a cool version. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Oh, it's a dance version. Something for Bruce from the 70s for sure.

What's the disco? It's Miko. Maybe early 80ies actually. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Like that. I'm listening. This is the boys town gang. You hear this on church street in 1980. They actually went to number one in the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, and Japan. What are they called?

With this song, they're called the Boys Town Gang. What tracks? With a Z? No. And actually they went to number four in the UK with this cover. But this is not the cover I know. And I think a lot of people listening are just waiting for me to get to the cover that I know. You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of you

You be like heaven to touch I wanna hold you so much And long last love hasn't arrived And I thank God I'm alive You're just too good to be true Can't take my eyes off of you Caught in the way that I stand There's nothing else to compare The sight of you leaves me with you There are no words that to say I'm sorry if you feel like I'm being a little bit too sweet You're just too good to be true

You're just too good to be true I don't want to be the one you want to be I don't want to be the one you want to be And some DJ just sort of ripped it from the movie. I guess he took the DVD maybe and ripped it, but this wasn't released on the soundtrack. Some disc jockey in San Francisco just started playing it, and then it had this domino effect, and then they eventually added it as a hidden track on the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. It also got her nomination for best female pop vocal performance at the 41st Grammys in 1999 and that made it the first ever hidden track to receive a Grammy nomination. That's really cool.

Wow. I would love, I want to do a kick out the hidden tracks. Is that what you were going to say Rob? I love it. It's a good, no. I'd do a kick out the hidden tracks. Is that what you were going to say, Rob? I love it. It's a good, no. I'd love to kick out the hidden tracks. Well, that would be fun. We have a certain arrow only, right?

That's right. Here's a mildly fun fact. Forrest Whitaker heard this version by Lauryn Hill and decided he would name his daughter True, because he was inspired by this song to name his daughter True because he was inspired by this song to name his daughter True. So good to be True. T-R-U?

T-R-U-E. Boris Whitaker, who was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Yeah. All right. Which I was one of the first DVDs I ever bought. Wasn't he also in, what's the Kubrick film? The military film? Oh, the blue line? No. Oh, the red line. Nope. Oh, what's the Kubrick film? The military film. Oh, the blue line. No, the red line.

Nope. Oh, that's not Cuba. Oh no. I know you're thinking metal jacket. He in that anything you want, Rob? Pruce anything you want. So here's what I remember about those. It's the Pet Shop Boys version.

Oh, where they tag it on to, they covered you too. That's right. Right. I forgot. It's at the end of the, it's in their singles. Best of is from the early nineties. They did that. And then also I just read this right now. I didn't know this. It's, you know, the, you know, the, uh, acclaimed movie cone heads. Yeah, I do. Yeah. It's the, um, it's the, uh, it's, it's the, the song that plays over the credits is a cover of it by some guy who nobody's ever heard of. That's funny. Yeah. How do you know? Give me that name. Uh, the person's name. So the patch up is a, uh, Morgan or sorry, Morton Harkett.

Oh my God. Come on. You know who that is. No, I don't know. Who is it? Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan and then and then and then then then the dinner, talking away. Oh, I don't know what I call me. So he did a cover of it. Morton. Thank you. Good job for the, for the end of replace Rob of snow, snow, snow, would you he'd start storm out here at some point. You know, I do have snow storm. If you will, no storm. Exactly. Uh, I'm going to have two stone here in a couple of weeks. I'm going to go camping and then he's going to be my first guest when I get back and I will

just let them know there might be an opening in the maybe just for one month, but I I'd like to zoom in for a month. Well, you're going to fix that. Oh, you were, you sounded good on other person's show. It was too hot, right? You're too hot on my train. I'll fix the hotness too hot to hand out too cold to hold. All right. Any words, Rob Proust before jam number two? Jam number two? I think I can let jam number two, this was the second song that came into my head. Off the top of my head. Yeah'm a loser just wasting my time. I can't make a dime.

In the eyes of the world, being born was my first big mistake. Oh wow Poor guy being born. You don't ask to be born. It's like even a mistake. I'm uh You never want to be born at all Man who's as tall as can be, any fool can't see That she's looking through the eyes of love That she's looking through the eyes of love Confession time, I don't know this song. Of course you don't.

I don't know either. Partridge Family. But I watched a lot of Partridge. How much music do you say? Right? Yeah. This is from like the third season or something. Is that Danny Bonaducci? No, it's Keith Partridge. Keith's or it's Keith singing. Uh, it's called looking through the eyes of love. It's a bitch. I like, yeah. So this is the second song. If somebody said they're going to sing a song about eyes. Yeah. This is the second song that came to mind. Because, because I knew the song since

I was like six years old. So it was just off the top of my head, an eye song. I mean, I have eyes songs from the eighties as well, of course, but this is for me. What if I played naked eyes? Would that have counted? I wonder about that. Would you have revolted? That's a bit of a flower jam. With my naked eye, I saw. Oh, naked eye was a... The pouring rain. I'm sorry, you're not doing that. From the 90s. Right?

Says Mr. Fucking 90s. Is he really criticizing my 90s preferences? So what do you do? 90s jams. Bob, that's all... That's not all I do. Let's go ahead. DP, have you updated the spreadsheet?

Yeah, we got to spread that sheet. I'm not just 90s. Okay, First of all, I did Frankie Valley today. You did. You did. You know what? And I'm proud of you. This song was originally recorded by a colleague of Frankie Valley's Jean Pitney. Oh, who was a big star on 60s. It hurts to be in love. Frankie Valley is still alive, right? Yeah. He's like, he's in the soprano. But barely, right? Like he, I think they trotted him out on stage recently and it

was like, oh. Lipsyncing and stuff. It was like, it was not good. He was in the Sopranos. He had a character in the Sopranos. Yeah. Yeah. So Midtown Gord says, this is an uplifting tune.

And BP says the spreadsheet is up to date. If we have time at the end, I might see how 90s heavy I'd be. Do you know what? We could get ChatGBT to look at it and break everything down by year. That's right. Summarize it. I know how much you love ChatGBT. Chat VP to do that.

Ah, Chat VP. I bet you Chat. I know how much you love chat. GPT VP to do that. Chad VP. I bet you chat. GPT would do it a lot faster. Chad VP. You're funny. Don't fight it, man. You're going to be like Lars Ulrich against Napster. You can't fight it. You can't fight it. Nope. Can't fight the feeling. Okay. So you don't bring, oh, you know, I got no fun for that one. So you know, that's part of the assignment, right? Like I'm not here to, maybe I will fire you. You're going back. Like, you know, I remember when we first started doing this together,

you were like a little bit like you were getting a little bit spicy with Rob here. I wasn't having enough. And then, and then he had seven. And you find the balance here. So it's not, it's not really just about the sub, the soul of it's nice. No, but really the fun facts and the mind blows are like the, the flare at charge keys. I know. Yeah. There's no actual mind blow. I was going to play how much time would it take you? Cause I know nothing. Bob and I don't know that song. We don't know anything. You could blow our minds by telling us who the fuck sang it.

David Cassidy did. He already did. David Cassidy had a horse and he went to, uh, I saw David Cassidy do blood brothers on. You did see him. I did. Yeah. I got his autograph, but I never fricking, Oh yeah. No, he came. He did it in Toronto in Toronto. But he didn't do it.

He was on London. It was his other David and Sean. Yes. They did on Broadway together as well. So in Toronto, it was just David and Michael Burgess played the, uh, the narrator. I did the original. I think we talked about this, but I did the first run of blood brothers when it first started. We're nerding out. I'm in original, I think we talked about this, but I did the first run of Blood Brothers

when it first started. We're nerding out. I'm in the middle of sentence, okay, so. Sorry. Were you in the middle of something? I didn't even know. Are you still here? David Cassidy, hold on, David Cassidy,

went to, he had a horse, and he went to Perry Lefkoe, who was covering horse stuff for the Sun or something like that, but he went to Perry Lefkoe, who was in FOTM, brother of Elliot Lefkoe, who you know, okay. Perry, and he went to Perry Lefko, who was in FOTM, brother of Elliot Lefko, who you know. Okay. Perry, and he went to Perry Lefko, I need a name for my horse. And Perry Lefko said, you should name it Peter the Gross after Peter Gross. Okay. And David Cassidy did so. So David Cassidy owned a horse that was running at Woodbine and stuff, and it was named Peter the Gross. Peter the Gross.

It's pointed out in the livestream that last episode, Rob, you had great mind blows. Yeah, see, I like to bury it. I like to go back and forth from here to zero. Yeah, yeah, from here to zero. Seeing as we're talking about horses, I just wanted to say RIP shout out to Ridley, to Patches Ohulahan, the horse. Yeah, it was the 2024 Horse of the Year.

Really? And unfortunately he had to be put down. They were going to put him out to pasture, but he hurt himself and they couldn't do it. So he was euthanized. They shoot horses, don't they? They do. Yeah. That did not shoot him. That's a movie. That is a movie. Speaking of shooting, it's a good movie too. So patches. Oh, hula hand is no longer with us. Like Margaret, Oh hula am. I don't know who that is. Margaret Hula hand, hot lips. Oh, yeah.

Jesus. Sorry, man. Keep up. Come on, Rob. You're on thin. You're on thin ice. OK, Rob. Bob will add any words before you know, because I don't know which one I did next. OK, yeah. Oh, yeah.

How do you not know your jam? I know them. I know what order I numbered them. Didn't you? No, I did. I did. I don't do. I don't order a number of things. I number them so I numbered them, didn't you? No, I did not. I did, I numbered them. I don't order, I number things. I numbered them so I can not fuck it up. Woo. I wait.

I stop. I hesitate. I am. I breathe. I'm in, I think of me Is it any wonder I can't sleep? All I have is all you could gave to me is an end Wonder I found peace through you Tell to the gates of hell

Oh, to myself being damned So All right, there you go Hey rob, are you talking to me? Can you say it in the mic? I don't hear it. What's the fastest way for I want to play something? Uh, Like in the heat of the moment, but if I should email it to you or text. Yeah, give me a like, give me a YouTube link by email and I can play it right away. Okay, Bob, with that. So of course this is from the David Lynch soundtrack

to the movie Lost Highway. This is Eye by the Smashing Pumpkins. This came right after Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness. I just gonna, so I just saw Billy Corgan at History, and it was two hours of like 60% of music I did not know, and 40% of like, played very, very well. It's still cool, right? It's still cool, and then 40% of hits.

And you and I saw Smashing Pumpkins together. We did see Smashing Pumpkins together. How much year? Oh, not that long ago. Really? Or it was pre-pandemic, but I don't know, 2017? Really? I saw the Farewell Tour and Molson Park in 2000.

I saw. And they sucked. Wow. But they were very good when I saw them. And what was the, who played government? That was Zwan, I think, was his other band. Wow. Oh yeah, right.

Corgan, Zwan. I saw him there. Anyways, here's the thing. First of all, unrelated but not, Billy Corgan's podcast is really good. I gotta listen to it. It's really good. What's it called? Billy Corgan podcast. No, no, it's actually got a line.

Chicago Billy. Yeah. But he's got Gavin Rossdale on this week right now. It's really good. And he's had like Tom Morello, week right now. It's really good. And he's had like Tom Morello, he's had like really, really good. I gotta listen to that. Cause he's not as much of a asshole as he used to be.

I find. He was at the Ozzy Osbourne finale. I watched some of that. I watched the Black Sabbath final set. He was there. Why can I not find it? This song is super cool. Yes.

The Magnificent Others it's's called. Oh, yes. He had Bono on it. Wow. He was in U2. That guy was in U2? Yes, I heard that. So this, so it's interesting. Sonny Bono was in U2?

Yes. Yes. This was originally, it's so weird if you listen to this. In the aftermath of the quadruple platinum melancholy in the Infant Ascent, the Smashing Pumpkins lead singer, Billy Corrigan's music publisher suggested he collaborate with Shaquille O'Neal. Wow.

Who had begun work on You Can't Stop the Region. So Corrigan began working on programmed music. That's where this comes from. Worked, like inspired by Dr. Dre. Meanwhile, David Lynch was working with soon to be Oscar winner, like, not later on, Trent Reznor, who's also on this soundtrack. It's not a mind blow, but on this soundtrack, the other big song is pretty great. Anyway, so I has only been performed by the band. I was a bunch of it hasn't been for a long time.

It was number eight on the modern rock track in ninety seven. I remember playing it in like in the club in rock clubs on like, you know, Phoenix and stuff. It was a good song and I believe that the soundtrack, if you if you have the CD, which I think I still do, is the beginning of, the first time that Trent Reznor is actually scoring stuff for a movie. He didn't do the whole movie,

but there's a lot of instrumentals on there from Nine Inch Nails. That's cool. Or from Trent Reznor. Yep. So anyways, I, the song's called I. It's made by Jams.

Yeah. That's what I did. It was pretty easy Did you get my email This is for check for email while I let this check a little bit I was produced the whole album was produced by John Rennert. Really? Turn off the sun, pull the stars from the sky The more I do to you, the more I die And I want you And I want you

And I want you And I want you You are the perfect drug The perfect drug The perfect drug You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug You are the perfect drug, the perfect drug, the perfect drug The Oliver Stone directed, but scripted by Quentin Tarantino. I didn't love it. You didn't love it? And I was a big Tarantino guy at the time. But it's not a Tarantino film. No, it's not a Tarantino film.

I mean, it's a Tarantino script. But it's an Oliver Stone. I actually tried so fucking hard to like Not The Born Killers. Really? Oh my God, are you talking about the soundtrack or the movie? Oh, the movie. Oh, no, okay.

The soundtrack is amazing, too. Oh, I'm talking about the movie. And then the next thing that Trent Reznor does for a movie is the social network. Wow. In 2010. That's me. And he wins an Oscar about the movie. And then the next thing that Trent Reznor does for a movie is the social network. Wow. In 2010, and he wins an Oscar. So good. Yeah.

Wow. It has nothing to do with iJams, but it was all on the same. No, fun facts. He chose. You know how to bring the fun facts today. Yeah. I'm not disappointed in you at all. No, I'm not either.

But I do want to play what was just sent to me because he's worried he's in the shit list here. This is my Smashing Pumpkins. Ramstein's also here, you're German. What if that guy from Smashing Pumpkins. Ramstein's also here, you're German. What if that guy from Smashing Pumpkins lost his car keys? Here we go. Where the fuck are my car keys? They were right here in my hand. I had them just a second ago.

Did I leave them in the kitchen? Or underneath the cushions of the couch? Well I can't find them anywhere, anywhere Oh here they are Who's this? Come on, his name is Stephen Lynch Oh, I don't know No relation to any other Lynch's

Have you ever heard this? Have you ever heard? This is Billy Corgan riding a roller coaster? No Wait Listen, this is Billy Corgan riding a roller coaster? No. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. It's on YouTube, Billy Corgan riding a roller coaster.

That's funny. First time I saw, I could not not laugh. I was like, I couldn't stop. I just kept watching. Cause it's like all you see in the video, you just see. No, really? Yeah, yeah. You look it up. It's really funny. Billy just know really? Yeah. Yeah, you look at that

Really funny Billy Corgan rides really? All right, I'm gonna kick out my second of three fucking unhinged today boys from the 1990s. Oh Yeah, I just played this I didn't play all of it. I'll tell you not all about me. Wow. But it usually is. This is Rod Stewart, right? I think so. She's got Betty Davis eyes, she'll turn her music on you You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow She got Betty Davis eyes And she'll tease you, she'll unease you

Of a bad touch just to please you And she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush She got, grab a gobble, stand offside She's got Some guys have overlooked With a little Bob Dylan in there too, right? Kim Karnes Kim Karnes, love it Is her name This is 1981, ladies and gentlemen So, interesting that this was actually number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks

But they weren't nine weeks in a row I'm gonna see, I think you might have a chance at this one, Rob Bruce. I don't think Bob will dig this one up. He's a bit too young, but. I remember this song a ton. Do you want to guess what song interrupts the run? So like basically this song goes number one for five weeks. And then another song goes to number one for a week.

In 81? 81. Mickey by Tony Basil. Good guess, but no. Then this song goes back to number one for four more weeks, which is wild, really. People couldn't get enough of it. You ready for this? Yeah.

Stars on 45. Oh, no, you see you're wrong. I have stars on 45 on 45. Amazing. No stars on 45. In my experience, when I didn't live it, I have trouble with timelines. I can think 1991 and I'd be like, oh, I was there. What was I listening to?

This is going on. This was going on. Whatever. But 80, you're not going to think like that. In 81, I'm five. That's amazing. In 81, and I have the 45. We have the 45 in my house.

It was so good, though. It was so fun. And here's the thing. I don't know who the fuck the Beatles were. For me, it was like, baby, you can drive my car. Yeah. I know. And then I hear the Beatles. I'm like, hey, those guys are stealing that guy's song. That's right. This won the Grammys for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

Wow. Betty Davis, still alive, of course, in 1981. I remember when she died. She was 73 years old when this became a hit. And she would write letters to Kim Karns to thank Kim Karns for making her a part of modern times. You ever see Bette Davis talk about this on Johnny Carson? No. It's out there. Yeah you can find it. She talks about the song and she's got a cigarette on the show. Bette Davis sent roses to Kim Karns after Kim Karns won the Grammys for this song. But of course, this is not a Kim Karnes song. No.

This is a cover song. So let's pay our respects to the OG, Bette Davis Eyes. Nice. Snow. Snow. Snow cover, snow is the original artist Snow is the original artist No way Her hair is hollow gold Her lips are sweet surprise Her hands are never cold

She's got very diverse eyes She'll turn the music on you She'll turn the music on you She'll turn the music on you She'll turn the music on you She'll turn the music on you Wow. Different isn't it? What year? I will tell you all of this information.

I will tell you this was 1974. Wow. And this is Jackie DeShannon. Wow. So this was written and composed by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon. Wow. So this was written and composed by Donna Weiss and Jackie DeShannon came out in 1974 but Kim Karnes had the big hit in 1981. So did this do anything from what you know? No I don't have any uh no I don't think it's a lot. It sounds like a broad it sounds like a broad show too. It truly does it's that style. The stripper. Yeah right.

It's that style Yeah, Kim Karnes wins this battle of the bands right here, but no Jackie Deshannon No, Betty Davis eyes. So the raspy voice thing I actually so I did this Silly thing of trying to do fix you on the radio this week and I couldn't find anybody to do that Hi, so I started trying to do it in falsetto I tried so many times I end up getting this rasp in my voice and somebody actually texted this radio station is like because I end up playing the thing it's not very good yeah the lyrics are good oh I'll send it to you it's actually on our it's available it's out there. Interesting question on the live stream

which is about how many 80s kids knew who Betty Davis was. And I'm here to say I very well absolutely knew who Betty Davis was. I think a lot of people did know. And she did appear on like, I don't want to, is it Geraldo or, but she would appear on things. She was a letterman. She would go on to talk shows. She was around, like she was just a famous person from back in the day who was around. Famous for being, like did people in the eighties know who Rock Hudson was? Right. Same era, right? Like same idea. I feel like I, cause sign you who Betty Davis was,

but I didn't know rock Hudson till he died and then I knew Rock Hudson. So that one I didn't know. You know what? Dude, you know, um, what was Bob going to say? Rob? I don't know. It's going to say inappropriate. Joe, I was going to say, cause you were a homophobe, which you're not. I'm just kidding. Um, yeah, I was, which you're not. Just kidding. Yeah, it's a joke I can't say anything. I didn't mean it. I don't think he's a homophobe.

I feel like we should let him keep digging. Yeah, do it. But I want to talk about Jackie DeShannon, the composer of this song. Please do. Because I know her name right away, so I just typed her name in. She was a pop singer in the 60s.

I didn't know that she wrote the song, put a little love in your heart, which you know for sure, because Annie Lennox sang it on the soundtrack for Scrooge. Yes, I remember it well. That's at the very end. Yeah, yeah. That video was played often. Yeah, but she wrote, put a little love in your heart.

She also wrote Betty Davis Eyes. I did not know that. I did not know that. The power of the modern internet. I did not know that. To tell us things. That was a feature we should do. Just on the way out. I'll play another cover of this because

it's kind of fun. Let's see which one of you guys can name the singer first. I'm trying to guess the beat. This is like eighty eight eighties now early nineties or my say like eighty nine to ninety one. It's actually two thousand. Oh really to 91. It's actually 2000. Oh really? Is that 2000? That's bad then. Listen to that voice and tell me who it is.

Somebody who can't sing. So you're correct. This is not a person known for her singing. Really? No, no, they can't sing. This person is better known as an actress. Gwyneth Paltrow. No, really?

Yes. It's from Duets. Yes, I knew it. Yes. Duets. Oh my God. I do know. Got it.

Good. How would you get? Because I remember, because Huey Lewis is in that movie too. I don't know. Yes, he is. Yeah. I don't know. Yes he is. I don't know. That's amazing. So I was like, as soon as you said there were an actor,

it just came to me. I was like. And Gwyneth Paltrow's ex-husband was in town this week. Still is playing tonight. Two more shows still. How many shows are they doing? Four. Holy shit.

Four shows, 50,000. You know what? If you want to go get in and out of there, I've been talking about it all week on the radio. It's a shit show up there. People are... What if you just bike? Chris Martin is... Oh yeah, if you just bike then that's fine. Sure. But most people don't...

Let's bike there guys. Yeah, yeah, sure. I'll see you next Tuesday. I'll see you next Tuesday. I see what you did there. Yeah, whatever. So there you go. Gwyneth Paltrow covering Betty Davis. This was actually released as a single in Australia and it did alright. It went to number three on something they call the area singles chart.

Did it come with her goop? Did it smell like her goop? It comes with a candle that smells like her vagina. There you go. That's what I was getting at. You know, you just hit it right on the hammer. I hammer it right on the head there. Cameron, you can borrow that for Indie 88.

Thank you. I will. Rob Pruss, any words before your final jam? Yes. There were many songs that I sort of let fly by and I did not choose, and I had a selection to choose from. And I heard this song literally on the radio on Radio Carolina, a British radio station two days ago. That's a pirate radio station. It's a pirate radio station. And I love it because they play such a cool variety of stuff.

That's where Keith Hampshire was a DJ. Yeah, that's right. Before he sang, OK, which I put into my, uh, my most recent episode of Toronto Mike's features. Okay. Blue Jays, you know, I really like about, about pirate radio. No, the blooms, the blooms. Ha ha ha.

But I heard the song and I was like, this is the perfect jam for this for, and I was like, I have to use this song. So perfect jam for this for and I was like I have to use this song so ready guys we're not gonna say my Sharona I step and scope upon my harder hand against my head The shielding of the bandit is a witsy and a light The nurse is looking at us and she's quivering with fright I'm looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes

Looking through Gary Gilmore's eyes Did you do a Toronto version of Doug E Gilmore? I'm just a guy going to the same chair. I prefer the Toronto version. Doug Gilmore. Sorry. Gilmore was in Triumph. This is about him, right?

Didn't play hockey though. That was Doug Gilmore. I'm sure Gilmore played hockey in his time. Probably. You know who Gary Gilmore is? No, I do not. I know who Gary Glitter is. You know who Gary Gilmore is?

He was a murderer in America who was put to death by a firing squad in 1977. What? Yeah, he was in like, so the death penalty- Is he the last guy they shot like that? No, but I mean, I don't know what's happened. They're still doing it in America. They're still doing it.

You know, not by, like, gun. Maybe. No, I mean, maybe now, yeah. But in 1977, he was convicted and he was on death row and he was convicted and he demanded to be put to death. Oh, he wanted it. He wanted it. You had a choice.

But what artist is this? This is a band called the Adverts. ADVRTS. This is from 1977. So this is like early punk, British band. That's very. An early British punk band. It went to number 18 on the UK charts, September 77.

So I heard the song on the station and I was like, this is like the sound of my childhood. I mean, my early New Wave era. This reminds me of like ultra box and the string. Oh, like this is like the sound of my childhood I mean my early new wave era this reminds me of like ultra ball when you were at the police concert yes when I saw the police at the horseshoe exactly 78 78 right but I you know I was tuning into this music a few years after this but for me it was still brand new so I was like this sounds like the stranglers this sounds like what yes early ultra box but it's about Gary Gilmore's eyes. So the song is written from the perspective of somebody. So Gary Gilmore was on death row. He was killed by a firing squad,

but before he died, he said, I want to donate my body to science. And somebody got his eyes like his cat or his, his corneas. So the song was a little creepy. It's like this person saying what it's written. Well, that's neat. I just saw a picture this morning of a, like a mom and a dad who were listening to a man's heartbeat because that was her son's heartbeat. Oh yeah. Yes. And I thought, Oh, that's it. That's amazing. Like the heartbeat lived on

and the eyes would live on. So, you know, wow. So the interest, like, so there's a lot of like, so who did the song, the adverts, the adverts, and do you know anything else about them? No, okay. This was their one hit and only in England. And the guy who was the singer, he went out to do some other things. And I sort of like did some research, but I was like, I don't really know any of this stuff.

Right. But Tobias Vaughn is a happy camper. He says that's the song of the night. Is it? There you go. Okay. Even though I have one remaining. So here's a funny thing that I learned about.

So when, when Gary Gilmore was waiting to be shot, so there's a firing squad. Five guys, five military guys, and what they did was they gave the guys bullets. It says in Utah, firing squads consisted of five volunteer officers. And only one of them gets a real bullet. Oh yeah, they don't know who killed them.

So you don't know who killed them, right? No, no, no. The five were equipped. I know this is right, Bob. They each had five or four bullets with one. One real bullet. The rest were blanks. Yeah. That's what they do. Or five in one blank. That's why they don't know.

No, no, no, no, no, no. It's, it's five blanks and one, if there's six, but the funny thing is the sub, the, the, the coroner said there were five shots in him. Oh, he was like, we're not making it. We're not taking any chances. So the last, do you know, can you guess when the last firing squad happened in 2021, 2010, no way. Yep. Ronnie Lee Gardner in, um, in Utah as well. He was, uh, this was a, the first, yeah, it was firing squad. It was the first one in 14 years at that point in Utah as well. Yeah.

You know, Gilmer was killed in Utah as well. Yeah. It must be in their state. Those Mormons. Exactly. Actually did you, there was a Western that was on Netflix. It was about the Mormon thing. It was pretty fucking crazy. Um, that's crazy. So you mentioned one blank, one blank. You mentioned, yeah, it was just one blank. Tom said, well, then why they wanted certainty of death, but uncertainty of responsibility. Did it. So one person, we all had the blank. Isn't that funny? I had breaking news. VP went through all of my toast songs.

Yeah. Yes. Okay. And by the way, I'll say this to VP right now today, oh, for three in terms of 90s jams. Cause he said he went up to last episode. He didn't want him to kick out. I have 30.5% of my songs that were 90s released in the 90s.

Oh, I bet mine are 70s. So that means 70, 70, 70% of my songs that were released in the nineties. Oh, I bet mine are seventies. So that means 70, 70, 70% of my songs are from decades other than the nineties. So I want an apology from Bob. No, no, cause I want to know what are all of our things are. Is yours Bob now. Here's what I want to know is like how equal they are is right now across the board.

I think all of Rob's are seventies. Mine are all from like 72. Yes. 73. But I'm actually even surprised that only 30% to actually, I think it's math might be right. He's a VP of sales, but that means approximately one out of that. When I do three jams every week, a main month, one of them, I would probably have the same thing. I would have, I would probably have the same. I normally, I would, I would, I would do at least one as well.

You know what? I do apologize. I might've done a 90s jam at one point. Not many though. I know. You haven't done that many. I love music, I know I've done Jeff Buckley though. He's 90s.

But you did, you mentioned the Stranglers. Yeah. So I got, I don't know why there was, I can't remember who's playing the Danforth Music Hall. I got onto this algorithm of like the Stranglers and it's like, and I knew not, I don't know anything about it. So good.

Oh my God, so good. Oh yeah. Yeah. So good. I had, I can't remember the name of the band, but it's like a classic, that era of like punk and a new era. They could do both.

Like it's like new, like when you listen to early- You know what they call it now, they call it post-punk. Right. This is sort of like tubes. Like what are we talking about? No, so like honestly, I would say Joy Division. Joy Division for sure. Joy Division has that some songs sound punk,

some songs sound new wave. Well, this is why I love this Gary Gilmore's eyes because I was feeling like this is 1977. And Ultravox was making music at that time. And Ultravox became like a real new wave band as well. It's like going between 77 and like 83 or 84. Exactly.

But, but Vienna didn't come until. That's right. He didn't, he didn't join the band until after they'd already done like three albums. So those first albums actually sounded more like this. And there's like this whole era that they now call post-punk. And I feel like even our first spoons album was sort of a new wave album, but we were definitely influenced by the post-punk. And I feel like even our first Spoons album was sort of a new wave album, but we were definitely influenced by the post-punk era as well.

So here's a funny, fun- Is that like Elvis Costello? He was more new wave. He wasn't so much punk. He might be called post-punk as well. So when Gary Gilmore was waiting to be executed, they said to him any last words, and his last words were, let's do it.

And you know who that inspired the ton look, let's do it. Everybody that inspired the marketing guy at Nike. There you go. Wow. Just do it. Just do it. He's admitted it as well. Yeah. It was that, that was where they got the inspiration. They're like, let's is a little weak, but just do it. That's it. Isn't that weird? So inspired by that's that you've, you've checked your sources. That's a real, uh, it's a real, oh yeah. That's fucked up. So, uh, fucked up. So the band that got me into this world is trying

to the damned. Oh yeah. So the damned, they're playing the pop-up, they're playing the damn fourth music hall. They are. Yes. Wow. And I was giving away tickets and I got to admit, I never really knew. I didn't listen. And when I did, I was like, Oh my God, this is really good. Like it wasn't part of my life. It's from the other- F.O.C and Martin Popoff's favorite band of all time.

Wow. They're pretty fucking good. You should check out, well, do you, I'm sure you know Killing Joke as well. Yeah, of course. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Killing Joke, we would've- We played some Killing Joke.

We would play Killing Joke on the retro Sunday show with Martin Street. Well, the 80s is Come As You Are. Dun, dun, dun, dun. There's, and they have a song called eighties, which is. Yeah, well, no, that's what I'm saying. That's what you say. The song called the eighties, the baseline is the singer.

Yeah, it is a come as you are by Nirvana. Oh, yeah. That's right. Like I'm talking about like Dave Vannin and Captain Sensible. It's like when I started to get into it, and like when you mentioned the. It's a good era. It's like when you mentioned the Stranglers,

and I have to admit, I just kind of listened to the damned on Spotify, like, and it started I just kind of listened to the Damned on Spotify, and it started suggesting, there's a whole bunch of music that wasn't, again, I was one. But it's a generational thing, right? And I feel like, I feel so fortunate that I got into that music at an early age, like between the ages of like, 13, for me, 13, 14, 15, I turned away from Top 40 radio,

I turned into CFNY. And CFNY was playing all this shit. Which is why when I heard this, Gary. And then they were playing you! And they were playing me a couple years later. And we were like the number four album, unlike their top albums of 82, we were number four. It's like what the fuck?

We're playing spoons on Indie 88 now. I saw that telling a lie, that's so weird. It's bizarre. But that early stuff, I feel like they were, that's the one place that was playing all this music that then became sort of mainstream as time has gone on, you know, in some ways. Very interesting. Bob O'Lett has one jam remaining.

I do. And so the funny thing is I'm like, oh, when I was one, I don't know the song, but this is way older. Here we go. My love must be so many good eyes on this was one. I was thinking this is the one I thought I had. Oh, no, it's different. Yeah, you had this. I only have eyes for you and this right. Yeah, I can't take my eyes off of you, but I, I love this song.

So good. ["Doo-Bop-Doo-Bop"] Are the stars out tonight? Come on tonight, come on tonight I don't know if it's cloudy or bright for you who give She bump, she bump The flamingos Yeah

With I only have eyes for you And I have to admit I got to know this song because of the My Girl soundtrack. It was on the My Girl soundtrack. Yeah, there's a whole bunch. I loved the movie My Girl. Came out in, what year did it come out?

That's a Ridley funeral home. Yes, yes, right, it showed out too. His glasses, he needs his glasses! Sorry. But Dan Aykroyd was a funeral director. Yes, he was, yeah, yeah. I love, I don't know if we're in a garden or in a crowded avenue.

It's always just resonated with me. When you're hanging out with somebody who you love so much, you literally don't know where you are. So this is on that soundtrack. That soundtrack is a, I mean, I think the 90s had some of the best soundtracks ever, but that's also my very formative years. This had like a Saturday in the park and fifth dimension like, Bill, I love you. Like so good.

Right? Did it have my girl on it? It did indeed have my girl by the temptation. What year was it? Was it 92? My early 90s. Yeah, it's 92. I think your post home alone.

We have to work. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Um, I need for home alone. Right. I remember, um, going, I, I had a, with my girlfriend at the time, 91, 91. Okay. Yep. And, uh, you didn't know, right. It was a tent. Yeah. The temptation. You didn't know what was going to happen in the area. That's true. But this is, yeah. So on a, yeah, this had more than yesterday by spiral staircase, hot fun, the summertime wedding bell blues like I like it's one of the greatest sound

tracks. I just absolutely dig it, but the whole thing goes. Ryan's with post Malone. Yes, it does. It's true. I only have eyes for you is performed by the flowing goes on this. The music is by Harry Warren, it says, but the interesting thing is Harry Warren wrote this way, way earlier than it came out and it was actually on this really strange little film, which I don't have the name of in front of me because I lost my thing. Why don't you play it? Because it's got a long intro.

Absolutely Bob will. this is the original amazing from like a forties movie. Nineteen thirty four thirty four. There you need one years ago. Rob was only a kid back then. I was just he was there at this one to he's gonna put that on Facebook. Nineteen thirty four, the movie's called James. We could have kicked out a mad man jam and smoke it there. Right.

So it was a 1934 movie called James. It was before my dick Powell. So you get into it and then and then so thirty four and then like fifty nine is when they remain bring it up. Other words and yeah, I get go to get things are said play it the vocals by Lou Sherwood on this. It's so good. I love the sound of this.

I love it too. Just that old orchestra sound. It's like Glenn Miller. I love old recordings like this. It's coming. It's coming. Here we go. The stars out tonight. I don't know if it's how the on right. All I only have.

Oh, it's amazing. This is before the Wizard of Oz. Yeah. So this was movie was for Warner Brothers. It was a musical comedy directed by Ray on right who did a whole bunch of stuff. He did a bunch of westerns actually, and it's got here's the songs that it had it when you were a smile on your mother's lips and a twinkle in your daddy's eye, a girl at the ironing board games and try to see it my way.

And I only have eyes for you. I love a girl at the ironing board games and try to see it my way, and I only have eyes for you. I love a girl at the ironing board. Yeah, seriously. That's like my ringtone man. James was designed and staged by Buzz, Buzz, be Berkeley and Buzz, be Berkeley, Buzz, be Berkeley, be a lot of cool films. Yes. Yeah, made like a broadway to he did a budget. He did his filmography includes like forty second street like yeah. Oh yeah, he's got some big ones. So dames in nineteen thirty four.

Anyway, so that's the original. Why don't we talk? Why don't we call women dames anymore? I know when you know there's words that go away. The dames is one of them. What about Gams? Check out the Gams on that dame. Gams on that dame. Gams on that dame we should bring back. Okay, breaking news. VP of Sales has done the math. So, we meant just to remind you

I have 30.5% of my songs are not. You tell by the shit-eating grin on his face. And Bob said all my jams are from the 90s. Meanwhile, Bob's 90s... Mine are 40%. No, but 35.4%.

All right, fair enough. So Vicky has confirmed Bob Ouellette is more likely than I am to kick out a 90s song on toast. Well, I am an expert in the 90s, so... Yeah, you are. I'm just kidding. I think you are. Speaking of... Like, again, and I'm surprised I'm only a 35. I have to admit, I'm kind expert in the nineties. So yeah, you are. I think you are. Like again, and I'm surprised I'm only, I have to admit,

I'm kind of surprised approximately one in three, but today, for example, I went over three and you offered and there's a lot of great, uh, not nineties I jams, but here you go. Okay. There you go. I only have eyes for you guys. Yeah. And before we say goodbye, Rob's total for 90s as well. Oh, he's going to have like seven, seven. I'm gonna say seven percent Just off the top my head 70% there we go. That was my so that was actually my head. I only have eyes for you when the eyes came out Oh, so good

Did I send this? Oh, I did too. Yeah. He's looking at me like, what are you playing, Mike? I'm like, I'm playing the fucking song you sent me, Bob Willett from Indie 88. Is this Garfunkel? Yeah. Shout it out in a bare naked lady song. That's right.

This is the other hit. I vaguely remember this on the radio. It's called Stadium Home of the Robbie. Right. Nineteen seventy five are Garfunkel. She might like our Garfunkel without Simon. Yeah. He was in a movie I enjoyed. I think it was called For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Oh, right. Is that a porno? So I know this is fuck.

And I liked this movie very much. I saw it on great, Late Great Movies and it hurts in it. This is a decent version. I don't mind it. It's got a weird voice though. Yeah. I didn't realize that. I did send this.

Yes, I remember now. I was sober when I had three beers. I'm fine. I'm just being an asshole. Shabub, shabub. Shabub, shabub. Canada reached number, the original with the flamingos, or not the original, but it was number seven in Canada.

And in the States, it was number three. Happy 100th birthday to Elie Yost. Oh yeah. Do you get a birthday when you're dead? You get a memorial. The movie was called Carnal Knowledge. Van Halen's album was called Front Loaf of Carnal Knowledge. VPs correcting me, thank you.

And J-Ho reminded me it was Elie Yost's 100th birthday yesterday. So I met Elie Yost once. Sorry, no, no, go ahead. That's bigger to me than what I was, yeah. I did a gig in Mississauga with an orchestra in the 90s and he was like the narrator he was the host it was an evening of with the Mississauga Symphony it was all orchestra music and I was playing the keyboard in the orchestra wow we did like Star Wars and we did the theme from Robin Hood and like all this really cool shit and Elway was like sitting in a

big chair sort of like narrating the night wow I just like Ozzy Osbourne yeah he was sitting in a chair like Ozzy Osbourne yeah that was like weekend at Bernie's metal version. You know what I'll say? And I'm not a big, not a big, I just know the hits like, you know, the big hits like Paranoid or whatever and all the big ones. Was it called Warpig? Warpig. Yeah. So I know the big Black Sabbath songs. Okay. But I thought he sounded pretty fucking good considering like the guy can't even stand up there, but the guy sounded pretty good. He's got that voice. It just is a part of who he is you want to hear a fun story real quick I just remembered it when I thought about watching this thing on Stella and those who know no Stella I'll say no more I'll get in trouble but Saturday me and the fam are walking on Kensington Market I'm going into these these shops where it's like you're going back to the

90s because I'm actually actively looking for this public enemy t-shirt that I had, but I haven't had in a long time, but I want to buy it again. So I'm looking for this. I figured they're going to have it in Kensington Market. I think I can have it anywhere. So I'm going in all these shops. I'm looking and I have Monica just, I'm looking for this black public enemy t-shirt. Can you with me? Yeah. Hey, that's Saturday. Okay. Does that have anything else? So Monica's involved in this too. It's a public enemy on the front of it. Okay.

Now I don't know when that black Sabbath finale was. Midtown Gord would tell me. I think that was, what day was that? Over the weekend. Yeah. Okay, Sunday or something, whatever it is. I saw it on like Tuesday, I watched it. And I just could have choit picked some of the artists

because it's nine hours and something. It's ridiculous. But I want to see guns and fucking roses. So I go to watch guns and fucking roses at this thing, saying goodbye to Ozzy slash is wearing the black T-shirt. I was really slash is wearing the exact T-shirt. I had Monica hunting for and Kensington. Why don't you just get a repro? You know, who are you to find a real, if you find a real one, go for it. It's cool. Firstly, it was a beautiful day and it's fun in the, you know, Jarvis is always looking for a used youth soccer jersey.

It's hard to find that kind of stuff. And it's fun to search, right? It's fun. Yeah. And it's a great vibe down there. So that's why you, Bob, if I all right, fuck me, whatever Jeremy Hopkin is now going to look at the show on a boom, but it was just a mind blow to see Slash wearing the exact t-shirt I was hunting for on Saturday. All right, guys, we're actually longer already, of course. Then we're not.

Just quickly, just one second. Let me say one thing. You said do people celebrate birthdays after they're dead? So my grandfather on June 13th would have been 100 years old. Wow. That's a celebration. He was born in 1925. So I just randomly thought about it. I'm like, oh. There was no cake years old. Wow. That's a celebration. He was born in 1925. So I just randomly thought about it.

I'm like, oh. There was no cake or anything. No. I just acknowledged it and thought of him. You have to. I keep in my calendar. My calendar comes up on my phone every year with all the people that I know in my life

and like composers and people. But the date, like their birthdays, not their death days. No, I keep up death days as well because I think death days are just as important as birthdays Well, yes, but like I see cocoa no, it's a Disney Yeah You got to remember them or they can't cross over like I know what the day the beta was born the bait the day that Beethoven died and the day my dad was more the day my dad died and everybody in between I'm like it's just as just as important to remember just

take a moment to remember them even 105 years ago whatever yeah you're playing your next song yeah you ready I really want to get y'all amped up for this last song hey before I played last song I feel like this sweet person in this band ravine sent me this I'm actually gonna play it again. I'm gonna play my jam. So here we go. I know. Did he pay you? He's, he's, he's. Hey Toronto, catch some of the hottest bands

from North by Northeast live. Ravine headlines best of North by Northeast with Active Mirror, Bebe and Una, and A Weekend at Ramonis. July 17th. That's a good name for a band. It is. Music venue at Loose Moose on Front Street.

Tickets at the door. Follow at Ravine Band. This shows on July 17th. I haven't been to Loose Moose on Front Street. Tickets at the door. Follow at Ravine Band on Instagram. This shows on July 17th. I hear that. I haven't been to Loose Moose in ages. I remember that place. Good wings. Good wings. Yeah! Come on! This is the Maestro version? Geez. Stick to your vision. I can't believe how many songs there are. It's such a good thing.

You know what? That's actually my complaint about this topic. The universe is too big. It's a bit too big. You don't like choices? Too many choices. Too many. We could have done five songs each.

We could have done iJams per genre. For sure. Because walking with my son today, he said, I hope you have Tupac on there. Oh, really? And I'm like, oh shit. I hope you have to park on there. Oh really like oh shit That would have been a 90s Great song And they're touring again. Verse verse chorus. It's a great piano.

Shedder to Robert Lawson. This is from the Guess Who. This is These Eyes. Bachman and Cummings wrote this. And this was on Wheatfield Soul, their 1969 album. Wheatfield Soul. You know, there's a lot of like charting songs from the Guess Who. You can go back to the Chad Allen era with Shakin' All Over and whatever,

which I only learned because I had it as a B-side of the Mony Mony single that Billy Idol put out. The B-side was a cover of Shakin' All Over. Oh really? That's cool. And it was a Chrysalis 45 I had and I fucking loved it actually but these eyes I'm crying these eyes have seen a lot of love but they're never gonna see another one like I had with you But you know you can I don't think it's even debatable I need Robert Lawson to confirm but you can really make the case that this is the song that breaks the guess who this is the song that makes them a big band in the United States of America.

Okay. This goes to number six in the USA. Wow. Number seven in Canada. Ah, crying. Sorry. It's good. You always hit that note. Almost. A lot of credit goes to Rosalie Tromble. Do you guys know this name? Yeah. You can't go to a radio thing without it. I guess that's true. You're in radio CKLW AM in Windsor. Big A. Rosalie Tromble helped get the guests who a distribution deal in the USA

with RCA records based on the power of these eyes. And this is that first big hit from the lineup. He's known love, you know, Cummins, Bachman, Jim Kale, Gary Peterson, production by Jack Richardson. Amazing. Who produced this? Jack Richardson. What else has he done? What else has he produced?

He's a broadcaster. He's so great on this. Oh, I'm crying! Of course, American Woman would eventually go to number one. Yeah. But this got to number seven in the USA. That's a big US hit. Big in Canada too, I think.

Well, just as big in Canada. Yeah, number seven in Canada. How did this not go to number one in Canada? Like, what went to number one? I think if this had come out after American woman, maybe it would have gone to number one. That's my feeling on that. But. And also charts were bullshit then anyway.

Yeah, it's more bullshit now. Well, no, it's not actually you can actually tell how many people are listening. Yeah, but so much of the it's so gaming. Fair enough. You know what? Yeah, fair. I'll give you that. These Arms was the original title of this song. Randy Backman was working on the piano chords and he was calling it these arms

and then Burton Cummings changed it to these eyes and then he added the middle eight. It's about working out. It's like these arms are burning. These arms are burning. The band felt it was too soft. Like they're a hard rock band and they felt this was too weak sauce

and they didn't even wanna put it out. Didn't even wanna put it out. Well. And then Burton made to put it out. Well. And then Burton made a whole career out of soft stuff. Do you want to hear the B side? So this is the B side to that single. So these eyes, the A side. The B side was a tribute to another great Canadian singer.

We know as Gordon Lightfoot. The song's called Lightfoot. Dun, dun, dun, dun, already. It's Gordon Lightfoot. This song is called Lightfoot. It's called Lightfoot. John Stockfish bass guitar Looks at the world through the eyes of Nashville The riverboats and Charlie McCoy It seems like the story of Gordon Leeds When does he sink?

That was a joke yeah. Real statics covered then. Charest red shea who's really come a long long way since rhythm rocker jingle jangle And go red It's kind of ballsy to have this like then as you're like you have not a hit yet Yeah, you write this, you know His hair blondish and poetic like wow is less than final perfect. Yeah is ballsy Yeah, a little bit like precise anchor for the husk and vibrance of wild Wow is the image of Alberta Wow they say the tragically hip only wrote songs about Canada Jesus Christ listen to this thing so yeah this is the b-side lightfoot it's cool he is an artist wow he is an artist painting Wow

Sistine masterpieces It's called like like oh my god That's cool. I didn't know it at all. Is it on an album? Or is it just the B-side? I guess it would be on that Wheatfield Soul album. Go get the track listing for Wheatfield Soul. I bet you it's on there. Wow. Cool. Ah, cool.

Okay, one more here. Sorry, story. There you go. I'm not saying I'm sorry, I'm just telling you the story. I heard a lyric in a song that we're playing on N88, it just really stuck with me. I was like, it's amazing when you hear something and I listen to it every day. And I was like, it's amazing when you hear something and I listened to it like every day.

And I was like, oh wow, what a really cool, I'll tell you after. Yeah. He is an artist making 16 masterpieces of pine and fir and backwoods. Robb produces 1990s percentage. 14.5. I was off by seven.

That's not bad. Considering how old I am, it's like, it's not bad. You're not that old. No, baby. What's that noise? What's that noise? In the song. It's like a little solo.

What is it? What would you say that? I would guess it's a styled one. Alright, we're going back to these eyes. Or does it stick to your vision? This is, oh, here we go. Here we go, go yeah maestro maestro yeah brothers ain't seen what i've seen in this game son we know you're canadian maestro we get it

see he already went to new york and he couldn't cut it, he came back. You see a lot of valleys and a lot of peaks. Sikivazi. I feel what Israelites, raps, the Farians, God bodies, FOI, Sunni, Muslims, T.O. to Brooklyn, many nights in Bad Child, lazy trees out in Cali, where brothers from Frat, Sip and Henny, man-friendly, got Toronto's rap title, Damaris titles, McQuincy Jones in 89,

that's my idol, chicks from every nationality, showing hospitality, grabbing me, showing mad love Chicks from every nationality Listen, check my rendition Perform for royalty and politicians Even done shows with the greatest MCs of all time I was the one who used to say 89 is mine I've seen a lot of valleys, I've seen a lot of peaks

I've seen the bitter with the sweet victory and defeat Sometimes I felt, but a voice kept saying Son, stick to your vision stick to composition is this the greatest sample in the history of it's pretty good but there's also one that has Jim Cuddy he did he did one with Jim Jim Cuddy yes with the blue rodeo try you did try no way yes what's this song called this is called called stick to your vision stick to your vision. It's from his 1998 Album built to last. I love my stroke. This was a big fucking hit in Canada every time I see him He's very nice to me. Oh

Sweetheart, I mean you've had him on the show, but I walk up to him and I just like I'm just a fan Like I don't say oh, yeah I mean now I drop Mike's name actually when I see him. I saw I saw him I saw him at CMW two years ago. I'm Toronto Mike's friend, Bob. I was like, hey, I say, yeah, and I bought him a coffee. Yeah. He only had American money.

A little wine blow before we say good night to everybody. So I decided I need to drill into the details for this song, right? Like who gets a writing credit? So of course, and by the way, when you credit Randy Backman, it's credited to Randolph Charles Bachman. Sorry, you know why? People always say Bachman, but Randy told me it's Bachman. Randolph Charles Bachman, Burden Cummings, these are the composers. When you credit Maestro Fresh West, the proper credit is, ready for this one?

Wesley St. Aubyn Williams. Oh wow. Okay, so those are your three composers. But I start drilling in, okay, so maestro's or lyricist. And I couldn't, I had to like look twice. I'm like, am I seeing correctly? Who's the producer? No, a lyricist credited for this song. Aubrey Graham.

You ready? Close, you ready? Darren O'Brien. What? Darren O'Brien. What? Darren O'Brien is Snow. Yeah. Why is Snow on? Have you? I did some. He's coming back and some. But I do a little digging myself because I'm very intrigued because I did not

realize Snow had anything to do with my stick to my stick to your vision. So I start doing some digging. This album I mentioned to you, it's called Built to Last, came out in had anything to do with my stick to my stick to your vision. So I start doing some digging this album. I mentioned to you it's called Built to Last came out in ninety eight. So we're five years removed from peak and former here. And there's a round when I only want to be with you would have been. I want to be with you. Great song.

So this is also on that album. Now listen to him fucking machine gun this through. Machine gun, machine gun. That's what happens when you don't B-Max right. You call it machine gunning. Oh that's good, that was better actually. Good job. I know the feeling. Yeah, yeah.

Yeah. I'm strong. Yeah. I'm about to take it out. Take it out. I'm about to take it out. I'm about to take it out. I'm about to take it out. I'm about to take it out, take it out Still in the game, my man is the studio Biggest snowman Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Peace on my niggas in the gasoline Get you back up on the candy queen Make you shake it like a tambourine Get your money from my honey Then you bounce like a mappy or the trampoline Chicken heads wanna get next to me Malest me sexually I give them ecstasy, I'm with the lamb, not less to be Get a fat bag of weed, congestedly

Motherfuckers didn't know how to steal So last I feel the wrath money Cause I'm built to last My records ain't hard to sell Cardinal know my heart is fell I'ma make it back, gonna slip Do what it is, make your brain cells flip Cause I'm intricate, at the table I sit make it legit when my pen is the paper

Do a record with snow? My last name's special first things bro flipping the script hit chicks with the thickest and biggest hips head to the previous list put a Rum in you you becoming too nice and slow baby. Tell me what you wanna do. I'm out the freaks Nobody else is the even rafael city. No, we couldn't step to this mr. West the best with this honey's undressed with this I made another record in the second and I realize Still I'm gonna stress with this Hi, hi, hi, hi Still not a superstar, got it all

Still in the game Who goes in the amazement Got Tim singing? All around the world people know the name That's Tim singing I'm gonna stress with this This is Maestro saying, I can rap That's what this is I feel like is Maestro saying, I can rap.

That's what this is. I feel like it's from like an outcast style. Well, I heard Busta Rhymes. It's Busta. More than outcast. I think so. But I don't disagree with what you're saying. It's 98.

But this is him saying, I can actually, I can spit. I can spit bars. Right. Play the different that you hear on... Symphony and Effect. So, this song is called Still in the Game. And I guess... Cause there he is again. Wow. Yo, slow down son, slow down.

This is fun. That's really cool. These eyes. So it's funny that I saw Darren O'Brien write it as a lyricist on Stick to Your Vision. I'm gonna say 1500 I had probably I have like 200 CDs and I kept I kept the maestro stuff because I love maestro you know I have also saved select yeah CDs I can't wait to see the album I'm gonna say 1500 I had probably I have like 200 CDs and I kept I kept the maestro stuff because I love maestro you know I have also saved select yeah CDs I can't wait to see the album I have like 200 CDs I can't wait to see the album I have like 200 CDs and I kept, I kept the Maestro stuff because I love Maestro.

You know, I have also saved select CDs. I can't remember what I saved, but they're in a crate in this room I'm planning to right now. I need to carve out some time to go through that crate and just see what did I decide whenever I wrap these up in like 2000. That sounds like a podcast to me. What did I decide to save? Cause I didn't have $1,500, but I had about, I don't know, 900 CDs or something. There he is.

He's taking us home, some snow. Captain Tony, we're about to get you. That's the heavenly one. It's quarter to one, like the one I speak to. You can do the jump, jump, jump. Snow's sound a little more South Asian in this version than Caribbean. Yeah. I'm gonna play this for Snow in September, alright? Yeah, for sure.

And also, I know I'm super fucking biased at this point, but talented mofo, this Snow. I know. Okay. And he could do the rap and the singing. Yeah. And even in former, which I thought maybe I might be sick of, it turns out I'm not. Like I've heard it a lot lately and it's still... You hear it, you put it on, it's good.

You hear it on, you don't turn it off. That's an interesting list. Oh, what are we doing next show? Oh my God. Jesus Christ. Lost the interesting list. Oh, what are we doing next show? Oh my God. Jesus Christ. Lost of time here. Oh Rob, where's the new version of my closing theme? He's working on it.

I'm working on it. How come? Well, you know what? This one only premiered in November. So I feel like maybe like. What, you're gonna give it a year? Well, maybe we'll have like a one year anniversary. We'll give you a new one.

I don't know. But we're already in the middle of July. You know, summer's already coming too close. The days are getting shorter. Shut up. I hate it. Already. Dan. I said, I was so mad. Today's July 11th. I know. I know. The days are getting shorter already. Like it's sad at like 7 45. We went so slow because I knew I was going on vacation. But yet the week went slow, but the month is already going fast. Yeah. It's weird. And wait till you get older. Like an add another 10 years to your life. And like, it just keeps going. He's pushing 50. He's pushing 50. I'm pushing something worse.

Rob Pruss, what's the topic for August's toast? Can't wait. Can you make it? We can't veto it. Well, he can make it. Well, we'll see. But let's say you're here or let's say I'm here or zooming. We'll figure it out. Or the topic for snow or whoever. No, I want to do it. No, for you. I'm gonna do it. I would like to do jams associated with morning songs. Morning.

Songs in the morning. Morning has broken. Whatever. Don't give me something like that. M-O-R-N-I-N-G. M-O-R-N-I-G. Oh, not M-O-U-R. No, not M-O-U.

Not morning. That would be for Ridley Funeral Home. That's right. Yeah, yeah. All right. So you're saying, can you be more specific? Like these are songs, songs associated with morning songs. Something early risers. They don't have to have morning in the title. Well, they could, but it doesn't matter.

But something that evokes the feeling of morning. Yep. All right. Waking up early. See, we're not allowed to veto it. This was my brilliant idea. But you can take it and interpret it however you want. Morning jams. Morning jams. M-O-R-N-I- however you want. Morning jams. Morning jams.

M-O-R-N-I-N-G. I like it. Yeah. Okay, and we'll talk offline, as they say, about when we're gonna do that. But hopefully it's in person. I already got some ideas already. Yeah, I got ideas.

Well, I mean, I had one song right off the top of my head, which is what made me think of it. You know, we were late June and late May, So it's weird that it were done in a long time before we do this again. You know, I got, I'm off for a bit and then he's got, he's going to be a Broadway star again. Back to Broadway. Yep. But we'll be here back to Broadway. I love it. And can I say one word, Mike, cinnamon. I'm so glad you said that. That's all I got to say.

Bob doesn't know what the fuck we're talking about. I didn't listen to whatever episode you're talking about. I have two children and a job. I'm shocked by how many Cinnamons I got. Yeah. Did you get a lot? A lot. Really? Lots more.

David Cinnamon and Sockolosky who used to own the Argos? Yeah. One of them died, I think. What? Really? I think so. But I got so many Cinemans. I'm so glad you got Cinemans. Because I'm blowing up the whole thing. Because I thought if I get too many, it means it's too, you know, excessive. I'm glad you got them.

Bullshit up. I did it while I was driving too, actually. I typed Cinnamon while I was driving. I mean, I voice messaged. And that brings us to the end of our 1729th show.
