Congratulations to Bob Willett, who got the rarest of the rare gems on this planet. Bob Willett has a job in radio.

Congratulations, Bob. Thank you very much. It's been a long haul. I was laid off in February, and it's been a tough go. I mean, I've been pretty open with you guys about how it's felt and tough go. I mean, I've been pretty open with you guys about, about how it's felt and how it's,

it hasn't felt good, that's for sure. And I, you know, I really did want to, if I was going to go back to radio, I wasn't interested in going back into programming. I really just did want to go back on air. Cause I just, as you guys can tell, I like being on air. I like being on air with you guys. So you, okay, I want to like reveal where you can be heard,

but let's, like, you're literally, you just came from this station where you had your first on-air shift. Yeah, my very first shift on the station, yeah. What hours today were you on the air at? 88.1, Indy 88, one of the coolest stations in the GTA. It really is a very cool station, and they're doing some really cool things

with the music right now. It is, I'm right now, so today I did eleven a to four P Wow, and I don't know what's gonna I don't know what's gonna happen next week, but I'm supposed to be basically I've been you know, I'm a contract right like I I will invoice for every weekend. How many dollars an hour do you receive from Indy eighty eight? I don't know the hourly rate, so we'll have to figure that out. It's

to be a can't be true. Yeah, no, it's a per shift rate, but I don't know if I'm comfortable sharing it. You can always say mind your own business. Yeah, I would. That's pretty much what I just said in a nice way. I'll be all right. One more question, because this came up in the the FOTM WhatsApp group, but for the record, how much sway, how much influence, how much say do you have over the songs you play during your five hour shift on Indie 88?

Zero. Zero. So you can't slip in Pearl Jam, you can't put some Rosie and Grey in the mix and say, I'll be on Toast later today. I noticed there were no Toast shout outs. Oh, there was. My very last break there. Well, I really, oh, my very last break.

Well, it was, it wasn't a full on shout out. I, here's what I said as I was leaving. I said, thanks so much for hanging out with me today. Um, I'm going to go have some toast now, maybe eat it with a spoon in front of a Mike. Oh, you are so what I said. I swear to God I did. Did anyone out there is recorded this, this, uh, I would love to play that. That's amazing as as there's there's our toast sponsor, I guess, right, eat some toast with a spoon and a mic. That's right. That's well done. That is what I said. Normally that clever on toast. Wow. Maybe in the eighty eight

is extracting the greatest of Bobble. Maybe I know I'm exhausted. This is the first full day of work that I've done since February and and granted it's radio. It's not you know, it's it's radio. It's not you know it's not heavy lifting. I'm not saying that but it was it's it's taxing is like your mentally. Yeah it's been it has been a while. You play that by staying by staying. I did not know I played who was stank instead. The reason that's that's so I had a very busy day not to make it all about me again but so I'm at Mimico Arena because my kid was playing hockey. There was a power outage. It's very exciting to be in an arena

when there's a power outage. But then I had to tear down the studio and build it out at Ridley Funeral Home because Brad Jones, funeral director at Ridley Funeral Home, his father-in-law passed away. And I literally built out this studio to chat with Joe's children, his grandchildren, his neighbors, his friends about what they loved about Joe.

And I had the most amazing two hours learning about this guy I had never met. Like it was unbelievable. But all this is to say, I didn't have any time to listen to in, in, in the 88, but I had like a, I eight minute block between Mimico arena and getting home to tear down where I did tune in and I heard who was Stanks the reason.

And I was thinking, can I still call this a cool station? Like that song is terrible. Like it's like, what do you think of that song? Bob? Well, it's catchy. It's pop tune. I don't. Yeah. But I don't know that song. I like it. I think that's a bad song. Like it's not, you didn't pick the music. But I'm just being like, I don't, I don't hate it the way like I hate three doors down. Uh, so I'll take three doors down over who bestanks. It doesn't bother me. I heard some good music that you were playing some really good music on the song. Is it a new song from the beaches? Yes. It's a good song. Yeah, there's a couple. Yeah, I heard a good song and I saved this into my Spotify playlist. If somebody called dizzy, yes, open up wide. Don't know. That's yes. I know it's real. It's really good. Some really cool stuff. Of course. Chapel Rowan. Every time

Chapel Rowan starts, I'm like, what is this? I think I'm like this and it's chapel. Yes. That happens to me now all the time. Yeah. It's this. This station is obviously a little pop here than what people are used to. They see that indie name and they get, Oh, why are you playing Chapel Rowan or why are you playing Fleetwood Mac or whatever? The indie Chapel Rowan is indie. Isn't she? I think well's Indy. Well, see the lines are blurred these days. And that's what makes it okay.

Yeah, yeah. That's what I think at least. But it's the station that's Indy. Yeah, well no, they call themselves Indy. That doesn't mean they are. Because they're not Rogers or Bell or Chorus. So they're like an Indy. They're independently owned.

Oh! Yeah, Radio Lab is the name of the company. So Indy says more about the company than the music. Yeah, it always did, always did. Yeah, got it. Yeah. So congratulations. Thank you very much. And thanks for listening to me every time I come on here, guys. I really, no, I mean like listening to me bitch and moan every time I come on here. I appreciate it. But listening to you today too is cool. Thank you. I think the

FOTMs who are in the know about you being on Indy 88, we're super excited to tune in and hear the guy from Toast on the radio. That's true. It's true. That was a big deal. Actually, that's the we're just updating the website at Indie 88 dot com and I will definitely your other job. I'll be I'll be known as the guy from toast. That's a nice guy. You enjoy the toast master. Oh, yeah, exactly.

And a Mike. OK, Rob, let's check in with you. I had a busy day, too. How's your day going? My day is going well. I started the day well with my sister and my brother-in-law. And because I always stay with my sister and my brother-in-law and cause I always stay with my sister when I come to Brighton, but I got to celebrate

with one of my oldest friends this afternoon. He turned 60 yesterday. Oh, he had a little open house today. So I got to go over and see his family and his kids and friends I haven't seen in a long time. And it was a wonderful thing. We were in a band together when I was 11 and he was 12 and our band was called Black Diamond. We used to play Kiss song covers of course but we also played whatever was on the radio in 1977-78. So it was nice to see him. Then I just was at the Galway Arms with my other my oldest oldest friend who lived across the street from me.

We were friends since I was three or four years old. I saw him as well. See when you die I'm gonna have guys like that on the mic. You're gonna get to the mic and talk to them for sure. They're gonna tell you things. All right so So just, I don't know if they need to pump Bob's tires anymore, but we'll get back to Rob. But, uh, everybody seemed to dig it. I mean, uh,

VP of sales loved hearing Bob today. Yep. Like exclamation marks. And Toronto Jarvis is on the live stream. He says, which one is Bob? Fair enough. Toronto Jarvis is going to have a new show upcoming soon. That's right. Toronto Jarvis was on the pregame. Yeah, I heard that. I missed it. But that's the one where you had the sign up and it was like, there was a cutoff. Yeah. 40 people max for that one. And we had a couple of people that were like, Oh, I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club. I'm going to go to the club.

Max for that one. And we had heavyweights like Steve Pagan and Simon Head. All the heavyweights were there. I don't know what Simon those he really. He's a good one. Good people.

No, your headphones might be quiet. My headphones quiet. I can do that. I think you guys are loud. Is that better?

Yeah, I guess. Sure. Okay. Cause your headphones sound great. Okay. Okay. Rob. Yes. You wrote Diane Bose. Is that how you say it? Boss. Boss. So only one S though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Just to confuse you. Okay. Diane Boss from TBD is your ex sister-in-law.

TBA. TBA. Sorry. TBA, right? Well, that tells you, can you tell me a little bit about TBA? Because I actually, and I'll play a little song. Are you going to play a bit? I got a bit here. Okay, so let's listen a bit. I love this song.

Do you recognize this? Of course. I bet you I'm not the only one in the room who doesn't know TBA. What decade could this possibly be from? I don't know. I don't know. I guess Bob should be talking this up. He's the radio guy.

Coming up next, hit the post. CBA on toast. So what can you tell us quickly about TBA? TBA was an indie band from Toronto that was managed by our management when I was in The Spoons. They did some gigs opening for us and they had released, this was part of an EP that they released called Love Across the Nation. Got some airplay on CFNY. They had a song called Have a Good Look which I believe was on this EP as well and they used to open for us and the singer Diane our managers would say oh

Diane's got this cute sister she's got a younger sister who's really cute you guys would make a really cute couple and she was like 15 and I was like 17 and they came out to a couple shows and then I asked her out and then we dated and we got married and then we split up and it was a lifetime in that order in that order yeah it was a long period of my life. They changed their name what happened with TBA? TBA became a band called Perfect World and when they became Perfect World I started joining them as well for some gigs and I had a sampler which was fairly new in the mid 80s it was new to have like sort of like a fair like kind of an instrument

but it was called an emulator and I would do gigs and play I play bass with them and stuff and I was in one video with them for a song called vacation in black We opened for this band propaganda from a German English band, which was a very cool See if I'm not to be confused with propagandaagandie. No Propaganda produced by Trevor Horn Super cool band and so Propaganda was like our biggest gig But we did some gigs around the country and we played some gigs a few in Toronto as well But that was my history there. Yeah, and is it like I did a little digging very very very difficult to come up with TBA That is not yet that is not SEO optimized. Because it confuses everybody, right? So every once in a while if you see TBA,

like it was that Spoons gig they opened for us at the concert hall. Well, that's it. Like who was TBA? Exactly, because somebody asked. That's why I thought it was TBD, like TB decided. But I heard they evolved into two bands. Yeah. Perfect World, as you said, and Rhythm Method. Yeah, I don't know much about the Rhythm Method part of that deal. That's why I got a vasectomy. But actually when they were perfect world the Gary's were involved as like partly helping out with the management as well. And are you gonna be at the Gary's? I got my ticket for December 1st. Okay at 888 Young Street. I'm so excited for it. Yeah.

Who's moderating that panel? This guy, um, he's a, he's, how did I end up dealing with, how did I end up moderating that really awesome discussion and your buddy here? I know I'm all over the place, uh, but Colin Brunton. Yes. How do you know Colin? I don't know him very well. It's like he's like a buddy. No, he's not a buddy at all. We've been friends on Facebook forever. And then I started seeing his name as a producer on Schitt's Creek.

And I was like, I think I'm friends with that guy on Facebook. And then we got in touch because he was doing the Nash the slash documentary. He's working on a national. Yeah. And I've so then I spoke to him at some point about that and like maybe helping out with some music and some get some national slash info. And then at some point I said, you need to be on Toronto Mike. And so I don't really know him that well We met probably many many many years ago But the wild coincidence of you telling me get Colin Brunton on Toronto Mike Colin Brunton on Toronto Mike's and then me finding out I'm gonna be moderating a panel discussion and he's on the panel Yeah, and then I said Colin come over before the panel

Yeah, I know what the hell I'm talking about awesome, and he's in the books And so is he coming between now and the panel? Yeah, good. Yep. I can't wait for that one last fun fact on TVA before we get back to the next item on my Agenda here Diane boss who is your ex-sister-in-law? She took a photo that ended up being used for the album cover for an album by counting crows Yeah, like a front or a back cover or something. She does pinhole photography. It's like a really unique art form. Is that a fun fact?

That's a fun fact, yeah. Could you share that on Indie 88 next weekend? If I play Counting Crows? Oh yeah, here's this random person you've never heard of. That's right. Took this picture. No, you play the TBA song and then you educate. Oh, I told you, I have no,

I don't have any say over the music. He's got no control. So I think it was used on a Counting Cr cross album, front or back. And I've heard that Peter Gabriel owns her artwork as well. It's super cool stuff. She goes around the world and does, and like sets up pinhole cameras, which is like the original, you know, method of photography where you expose light into a little box with a pinhole. And that's what she does. And she teaches a lot. She teaches it and it's super interesting stuff. I watch a show on HBO called winning time. Yeah. About the prime time, uh, the Lakers of the 80s. Is that basketball is basketball? Yeah

Lakers all those lakes in LA, you know, they're called the Lakers. So winning time played this song I'm just gonna play the song and there's a little story here, but it's gonna be obvious to many people but I no longer assume people know anything since I played Nicolette Larson and Many people on the live stream learned that the Lotta Love is a Neil Young song. So this is the song I heard on Winning Time on HBO as I was watching it the other day. Can you name that tune, Rob? Nope, but I love the piano. I will give it a moment. The artist is Loletta Holloway. Oh, Loletta Holloway. Oh, Loletta Holloway.

I've heard the name, yeah. Wow. So this song, because, you know, they're trying to timestamp these episodes, it's called Love Sensation. Give it a moment. Is this a good way to introduce this topic today? I'm with your love sensation sensation oh love sensation love sensation oh

it's got me in it's bed it's such a good vibration it's such a good vibration I don't know I'm feeling the vibe I'm feeling the vibe I'm feeling the vibe I'm feeling the vibe You don't know good vibrations by Marky Mark and the funky much Mark Wahlberg. I know who he is, but no No, this man has some amazing blinds I love blinds. Can you imagine being on planet Earth as like a

Aware adult who loves music and completely missing good vibrations. I like good music. I like good music Wow, I said that okay, so I'm gonna bring it down So I hear this song and I don't like even though this was a big song I missed it because it was before my time in a different era. So I hear that okay, so I'm gonna bring it down so I hear the song and I don't like even though this was a big Song I missed it because it was before my time in a different era so I hear that song and of course I know this song that Marky Mark. I didn't know that I forgot yeah What year is this like 89? Yeah like maybe 1991. Oh, yeah. Yeah How's my familyar that time. Fair enough. Yeah. It's about that time to bring forth the rhythm of the ride.

I can do it too. Always get mine to get yours. I want to see sweat coming out your pores. Okay. So this guy's brother, we talked earlier when we did the photo, we usually do the photo after we did it before and we talked about new kids on the block. This guy's brother is a new kid on the block. It's true. Donnie Wahlberg. Donnie's been in my house. Really? There's a fun fact. Andy wants to hear that. Your current house? My current house. Wow. Can you explain why? Yes. Oh now? What other time I can tell them Marky Marky. So he's on this TV show called Blue

Bloods. Yep. And Blue Bloods, they've used our house many times. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. So his, our house is the house of I am like a little Jane Sibber you there. That's not, you know, but okay. So here's the song that we're playing. So what a bitch. Bob, you know this one? Yes, I know this one. Is that Martha wash? Sounds like it. No, that's Loletta Holloway from Love Sensation. So that song Love Sensation is sampled by Marky Mark for good vibrations and Black Box for this song, which is called Ride on Time. Ride on Time, yeah.

It looks like here. Did you ever connect this song to the Marky Mark song before? Oh, of course I would play them together when I yeah sample I would play them when I DJ together as a whole set. You also do C and C music factory in the same in the same set. See this music is something to me. It is a hundred percent all the same. You're right, but this will let a hall away from he's amazing. He might be the most sampled in a good vibrations. Yeah. Okay. So let's introduce the topic. And then I have one more

thing that I thought of since you were here. Like I take notes during the week of these things. So Loletta Holloway, Love Sensation sampled by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch and Black Box, which I would argue are two songs maybe in the hip hop umbrella. I was going to say that we wouldn't be able to do that. They're not allowed today. So what we're going to do today is we're going to play songs that are sampled by non hip hop songs. So we'll start with the song that is sampled

and then we'll play the non hip hop song that samples that song. Got it? Got it. So Robert Lawson dropped by recently and we're talking about little Stevie from the East Street band. Okay. Yeah. Who I'm gonna see on Wednesday night. I'm gonna say they're playing tonight right now. They're playing now and I'm gonna see them Wednesday night. Cool. My first time seeing Bruce. tonight right now. They're playing now and I'm going to see them Wednesday night. Cool. My first time seeing Bruce. I've never seen him. That's so cool. You're going to see him.

I'm going to see him. It's going to be very exciting. So this night he's playing tonight. Yeah. And then they need a few days off to chillax and then they're back Wednesday. Max Weinberg's playing the horseshoe. I heard that. Yeah. That's so cool. So little Stevie wrote the song Sun City, which was like a bunch of famous musicians

singing this because they were against apartheid in South Africa. Very important song. Just a little taste. We're rockers and rappers, united as one. We're here to talk about South Africa. We don't mind what's going on. This is like 1988, right? Now is the time for some justice. Maybe before that, 85, maybe?

No, I bet it's 88. Find out, Bob. I think it's earlier than 88. We've got to say I. A7, maybe. Here, listen to this. A6. Ain't gonna play some shit today. A7 maybe. Here, listen to this. A6. 85. 85!

Man. So, now listen to this, okay? You wanna play some city In my body Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I have a friend who played drums on this song. Get out of here! Yeah! I think I might have chosen. I got something to say. I got something to say about this. OK. I just remembered that. I got a mic. I'm going somewhere. Super high waves. Cruda! Coast to coast. He's the one I'll.

Easy to get. Anywhere. He's the one. Transcontinental. Can you name the movie where you first heard this song? Rocky 18. 4. 4.

With the Russian. Yeah. I must blame you. Who is Swedish by the way. Right. Okay. I'm about to blow your mind. I can't wait.

So in my humble opinion, and I'm no musician, but Sun City and living in America sound like almost the same song They really do. There's another Africa Bobbata song that sounds also like Sun City called Peace Unity Love and Having Fun If you know that song it's the same. Okay, so living in America what we're listening to right now is also from 1985 Yeah, and there's a couple of composers credited. It's performed, of course, by James Brown. But there's a guy named Charlie Midnight. But there's a guy, this is the guy I wanna talk about for a moment, Dan Hurtman.

Oh. Are you gonna play his songs? Well, I've already played one. Yeah, but you've got other mind blows to play. Do you know what I've played so far that was a Dan Hurtman song? One of those lowly, Hollywood songs. Love Sensation.

So the guy who wrote Living in America, which I thought about because Sun City by Stevie Van Zandt reminds me of Living in America. The guy who wrote Living in America, Dan Hartman, wrote Love Sensation for Loletta Holloway. And of course, he also... I can dream about you. That's a huge hit.

I hope you're going to play his first big hit. I love the song. It's a very good song. This is a big one takes me right back. He's a member of the Edgar Winter Group. I was gonna say that the song is gonna Frankenstein? No. No. He died very young.

Yeah, very young. This guy, Dan Harmon, wrote and performed this song. Yeah. This is him. Yes. I know. I know. You got to kill up his Andrew Witter song, though.

Okay, well, Mom, Bruce, save it for your normal string. No, you get me? I know. I can dream about you. You got to kill up his Edgar Winter song, though. OK, well, Mom, save it for your little string. Are you getting there? Can we just mention it? Say it. Come on and take a free ride, free ride. Come on. It's like he wrote.

He was never. That's not by the Edgar Winter group. It is. By the free ride? No. Yeah, yeah. Free ride. Edgar Winter group.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Fun fact. The Edgar Winter group with Rick Derringer. Yeah, free right. Yeah, wrote it, but he also did Frankenstein, right? No, I mean, Edgar, which are did, but they're not the band. Okay, I'm with you now. All right, so this is a long way to go. Can you name the soundtrack that made this song big? Yes, Beverly Hills Cop. No, Beverly Hills Cop? No. Good guess.

Can you do it, Mr. Proust? Oh, it's 1984, and I think it was maybe Footloose or Breakfast Gloves? Streets of Fire. Okay, same thing. They're all the same. And this song reached number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Love this song.

So my friend who played drums played with Dan Hartman for many years in New York City. Wow. And he was our drummer in Mamma Mia as well. So those two stories, the Love Sensation story, and then the Living in America story were mutually exclusive as I jotted them down and I had no idea they were written by the same guy. That's really cool. Is that a mind blow Bob? Sure. Why are you asking me? Why am I the keeper of mind blows? The keeper of the blow mind. I got to know what's interesting and what's a mind blow. By the way, Bob O'Lett was booked on Humble and Fred,

but was never confirmed. And you guys came on at the same time as Brittle Star. And I saw Brittle Star performing with Rob Pruse in Oakville. That's right. Isn't that a small world story? In February of 2023? Is it? I don't think it is actually. Not at all. You booked Brittle Star and me. Well, I only booked Brittle Star. To be honest, I told you know, I swore ma that I would that we happily have you two on and I pitched a date, but he never got back to me. So I booked Brittle

Star. Bad producer who blames his guest, man. Can I do one of those Toronto Mike tangents for one second? Yeah. Then we're gonna get to our jam. So my friend who has his 60th birthday party today, his sister-in-law is Kathleen Robertson who... From 902NL? Yeah, yeah I saw Kathleen today. I haven't seen her in a thousand years. What a time of... You were hanging out with Kathleen Robertson today? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Where does she live? In the Hamilton area, the Hamilton Southern Ontario vicinity. She has over here. I know I should get her in for it. I was going to mention to her today. That's wild. I know. So she's lived in LA for many years. 90210 is Kathleen

Roberts. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. She's amazing. But I haven't seen her since she was like 13 years old. So when Jim and I were, we played music together in the eighties and we used to rehearse in his and her sister's basement. I was watching, but I was a big 90210 fan. So was I. Love 90210. So let's go to the beach fit. Yeah, that's my friend's sister-in-law. So she was there today at the party as well. And I did think of like maybe proposing to her that she would want to come visit you. Well, don't think about it. She's super cool. Do it. Yeah. Okay. Okay. This is mind blowing to me. It'd be so cool. So here's what we're going to do. Do it on a day when toast

is on. She'd love to play jams. Come and kick the jams. We'll make sure that the video is it. The video cameras are out for that one. Okay, so we're kicking out non-hip-hop songs that have samples in it. Bob's on Indie 88 now, so that should be your terrestrial station of choice. Yes, should you be in your car and you don't have Sirius? Please. If you don't have Bluetooth. Or you don't use your Bluetooth in your car yet. That's right. That's a good station and we're proud of you, Bob. And I want to know that I do have a Bluetooth speaker for you So you never have to listen to in the 88 again. It is in front of you from the nearest and if that speaker I'm just kidding Bob. I'm proud of you with that speaker

You're going to listen to season 7 of yes We are open because as I told Chantel sorry Sean tell Shawn Mendes remember Shawn Mendes And I don't like to screw that up. What did you think of the Chantel sorry Sean tell Shawn Mendes remember Shawn Mendes and I don't like to screw that up what did you think of the Chantel Kravya Zhek episode of Toronto Mike loved it I loved it too like I've been thinking about it a lot yeah that's how I know it was a good one it was that you hit it out of the park with her and I it was fun watching her but I because I turned on the live stream to watch her arriving yeah with her handler who was a friend of yours or something or whatever no no well I've never met him oh you never met ever met

but he's a listener he put it together sort of. Yeah. Yeah. So he's her PR person. Okay. So she loves Toronto Mike. And he brought her over. Oh, cool. And she was probably like, I'm going. She drove. She did. But she's probably like, I'm going to some guy's basement. I don't really know what's going on here. I'm, you know, she was just hanging out with Drame. And she came in hot, right? Like she came in telling me she did. She, did you hear, were you, cause I didn't record this part, but there were a number of people in the live stream who were telling me about,

cause she didn't know that mics were hot. She didn't know. And she also didn't know that you weren't going to be editing and all. It was very cute to watch her. So what did she say exactly? She said something like, uh, I did a podcast and I demanded a bunch of edits. Yes. Like really, like, and I was, I looked at her and I looked in the eyes and she's got beautifies. Yeah. Oh, she's gorgeous. You looked her in the eyes and you said. And I said something to the effect, I said, don't say a word into these microphones that you don't want in public

because I'm not editing a stitch. I just looked at it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's my show. I heard you say that. Yeah. And then she kind of looked at me and she's like, okay. Like I had her, then I said, oh, I got her place.

And then we sat down and the PR guy said, you have 60 minutes. Yep. I loved it. It was so fun. And I said, and again, at this point, sat down and the PR guy said, you have 60 minutes. Yep. I loved it. It was so fun. And I get, at this point, I feel a bit of swagger because of that exchange. And I said to her, I looked her in the eyes again, cause they're beautiful eyes. Yes. I'm looking at Bob's eyes. I'm pretty her husband has nice eyes too. I heard he's Italian.

That's why she enjoyed the Palm of pasta. So I'm looking at her eyes. And I said to her, I said, your PR guy says we have 60 minutes. I said at the 55 minute mark, you're going to let them know you wanna go longer. I said that, did you hear that? You're like, an aliginist, like those aren't the droids you're looking for. Yeah.

Okay, I wanna make sure that Bob knows what really happened. Look at the risen, this guy. And then she said, oh, I like the confidence. Yeah. No joke. Yeah. 55 minute mark. She says, let's keep going. Yep.

Wow. Well, no, but she said to you, she said to you, she confirmed your schedule. She's like, well, you said you're free until 1.30, so we can keep going. Yep. Wow. Well, no, but she said to you, she said to you, she confirmed your schedule. She's like, well, you said you're free until 1.30, so we can keep going. I told her, I said, I have a 1.30 with Great Lakes Brewery because we were doing an episode of Beach and Cremators. And she was here until 1.22.

Yeah. It was amazing. And then there was a, I'll tell you, I mean, I don't know how much to say, but there was a road rage issue. After we did the photo, there was a road rage incident and a woman who worked for the postal service was getting yelled at by this guy who was just raging like out here on your street, out here on the street

we won't name. Yeah. And then on my street like Sesame Street. And then Sean, Sean tell, I can never say her name. She ran in to protect the woman, like to basically get this not surprised me to get between the woman and I was walking over and I started taking some video because I thought we Need to know the license plate and all this stuff. That's if this escalates, right? But she was right in the mix like and getting gave this woman Lucy her phone number and said You know witness and this guy left and then we're talking about it and he came back He screeched back going around early and he cut again to keep going and it was quite a scary moment there here But back to yes, we are open Al

Was in Winnipeg. That's why I started talking about Chantel, but he did an episode back here in Ontario His name is Dave Gunther. That's German right Gunther sounds like it. Yeah. Okay. Shout out to the great Germans out there Yeah, he owns door world in Tilson Berg. Okay, so Dave, what do they sell a door world? door world in Tillson Berg. Okay. So Dave, what do they sell a door world? It's like spatula city in UHF. So Dave who owns door world in Tillson Berg, Oh, it still hurts my back when I say that name Tillson Berg, he chats with Al Grego. And that's the latest episode of yes, we are open. I listened to the first episode of the season and I enjoyed it from Winnipeg, the escape room people. it was super cool. Well, Al does a great job.

That's why he wins awards. How many awards has Bob's basement won? Uh, none. Okay. Well, we're, we're tied. I think. The only problem, the only thing about Al is that every time I see his name now, I look, I think I'm looking at the word AI.

A hundred percent. Oh, this is another AI. He's capitalized that L. Do you want to get to the jams? Yeah, sure. So Ridley funeral home, I was there, uh, shout out to Ridley funeral home. Joe passed away. That to the jams? Yeah, sure. So Ridley Funeral Home, I was there. Shout out to Ridley Funeral Home. Joe passed away. That's Brad's father-in-law. I have great chats about him today. You already know Palm Opasta is going to host us on November 30th. That's TMLX 17. Rob,

can you make it? On November what? Saturday, November 30th. Oh, really? Well, I tried. The day before the Gary Top event? It's close to the Gary Top. I tried the day before the Gary Top event. It's close to the Gary Top. Yeah, the day before the Gary Top. I will be here. Okay. Bob, can you make it or are you going to be sick that day? No, I don't know my schedule. Okay. If you're not on Indie 88. If I'm not on the air, I'll be there. Yes. Okay. Thank you so much. Everybody's invited. Palma Pasta will feed you great lakes. We'll make sure you get a tasty beverage. Let's get to Rob Pruss's first song. This is a non hip hop song, a song that we would not put in the umbrella of hip hop,

but has a sample in it. Yeah. So which do we start with? We start with the song that is sampled. Yeah. Okay. And we're going to talk about that. And then we'll play the song that did the sampling. And maybe we can, you can guess.

Yeah. Because Bob doesn't know what Rob picked. That's true. Okay. Any words to say before I kick out this song that was sampled? No, but here's the question I I made a little I did this just before I left today I created a little mp3 of the the sample that was used in the song you're gonna play after this song that I could just play on the microphone I'll just show you an example of what they would Whatever you want. But you can play this. You ready? Yep. I've got the nerve

To tell you our love is over And to say I'm blue with you I can't take much more of you, girl You make all my days so blue Leave me lonely and forget me Days of pain will soon be gone Girl I know you'll never love me You won't love to see me go

What are we listening to Rob Bruce? This is a band from 1966 called The Left Bank. Guess what the song's called? I haven't got the nerve. That's what they're saying. I haven't got the nerve. I haven't got the nerve. So this was the B side of their big hit, which was a song called Walk Away Renee.

Which has been kicked out several times by people thinking of it again. Yeah, it's a great song. People love that song. Keir Joyce, I think, is one. Really? Yeah, so this was the B-side. So sort of a, not really a hit actually at all,

but a B-side, but it was used in a sample for a song that I found to play that I thought was super cool. Okay, so let's play the song that did the sampling. Oh wait, don't play the sample yet. Whoa, yeah. I wanna play this thing. Okay, let's listen to it. Anyways, that song just goes on and on right?

Did you could have sent me this and I would have played just I know I just did it So this they used that song in a sample and so what I wanted to do was I isolated? The sound of the song and I slowed it down to find where what it becomes in the sample and it's gonna be this it's going to be this. Little slower and a little different key. Okay, so now you can play the song. By the way, I like this topic. Like it's exciting to hear the sample first. Thank you Rob, thanks again. A little less conversation, a little more action. I'm the one natural one, make it easy We can take it inside Where I can love how I like if I want it

Whatever keeps me high Yeah, we can take it Hey! I hear it. Stereo MCs kind of vibe. Something ain't right. That's cool. So what is this? What are we listening to? This is a band called Folk Implosion. Okay, yeah, I've heard of them. I honestly didn't really know who they were, but this was a fun challenge for me to think of what came into my head right away for this topic. And this was a fun challenge for me to, to like think of what came into my head right away for this, for this topic.

And this was a band that was a little unknown to me, but I just thought it was cool because I loved that other band, the left bank, this guy Lou Barlow, if this is his band, he's in a bank called dinosaur junior. Okay, cool. Right. Of course. Of course. So this is his other band called folk implosion. This came out in 95. Oh, very much of that. It's got that mad Chester vibe. Exactly. Wasn't a big hit. It got up to number four on the modern rock chart was low forties in the UK singles, but it's cool. Yeah. And I just like, cause it's got that old harpsichord

thing in there. We're going to hear it in the 88 next weekend. Exactly. I hope. I never know. I'm going to request it. I'm going to call in. Bob, in the middle of your shift today. Why are you making fun of me for having a job, man? No, no, no. Seriously. What's up with that? in. Bob, in the middle of your ship, I make a fun of me for having a job. You know, in the middle of your shift next weekend, if Eddie better dies, are you then allowed to play pro jam? Yeah, look, hey man, it was my first shift today. I haven't even as I had people. No, I had people. I so first of

all, you know, DJs have no control over the music they play. They haven't for years. Yeah, DJs have no control over the music they play. They haven't for years. FOTM, Danny Elwell is doing a show on Indie88. She does. She does the whole show herself, her own music, which is amazing. Yeah, and it's amazing that she delivers it done and they just play it. She's not live like you are. No, she is not live like I am. But she does, like, so it's great that I work for a station that's willing to do that. The coolest thing is hearing you live though, because whether or not you have control of the music, the fact that you're a human being talking at that moment on the air feels like radio.

When I get the clip of Bob saying he's going to hang out with a spoon and a mic, I'm going to be playing that off a cold open for the next toast. I will. I'll see if I can get it off the logger or something. That's super cool. Maybe somebody recorded it. OK, I dig this to this open. So this I'm this was a happy discovery to me too, because looking for this topic, there's a there's some good websites which like yes, all that kind of stuff right. So

I was trying to find things that I actually did know, but this was new to me. So I was like excited to use. Yeah, that was kind of my thing too. I mean, there's all kinds of weird stuff out there like oh okay, but I definitely wanted to like the music or at least be aware of it. Exactly. It is interesting that when you think of samples, so much of it is hip hop. Yes, like hip samples all over electronica, hip hop. There's a whole bunch that I was like, I'm not even going to do it. I could, there's so many I

wanted to. That's right. All right. A little mop up. So we're live at live dot torontomike.com. It's a Sunday afternoon evening and there's a good crew there So I'll do this very quickly. But Jeremy Hopkins says I remember folk implosion being played on 102.1. Oh, cool He's okay. Also big fan of Danny Elwell. Why is he gourd says this is a next-level topic? He goes his flight he was gonna be on a flight and he's gonna miss us But he's he's pleased to know that there's a mechanical delay. Better to know about those when you're on the ground than rather than find out when

you're in the air. So he gets to listen live. And wardo44 says that Chantel, sorry, I'm saying it wrong every time. Chantel interview is one of my best. Super excited to see her in concert on Friday, the first time since 2001. VP of sales says, Kathleen Robertson is my former classmate. That's huge. I think that's huge. And Steph Wilkinson says, ding, ding, ding, ding. He goes, big 90210 fan over here. So that was a big moment when you revealed that. Oh, I see also Canada Kev. He mentioned the Moonshine Cafe.

He was with me. Canada? Canada was my plus one. I just learned yesterday that the moonshine is moving in the new year. They're moving up the street. So in Oakville, they're going to stay on Kerr street, but they're moving a few blocks north. That's a fact. Speaking of moving, I'm going to ask Bob about soon. I'm going to ask Bob about the Phoenix because when are you playing the

Phoenix November 23rd, Saturday, November 23rd. So are there, they had, I guess, a pivot a little that it's not a farewell now. No, it's just a celebration. I guess you know, I put my I had a I have my last episode of Bob's Basement was with DJ Dwight and DJ Paul Dhingra, Brother Bill and Shorma just all people who have memories of the Phoenix kind of more more related to the CF and why in the club one or two and we literally recorded them all and it was like I'm putting CFNY and the Club 102 and we literally recorded them all and it was like I'm putting it together and the news comes down that they got it they got a year extension. Well great. That's what's good yeah so we're yeah it's the

show are the it's sold out but there's about 200 tickets available at the door. Amazing. Ian service says last time I saw Simon head because we mentioned him earlier but he was running the board for the lowest of the low in Guelph. Cool. He had a good time at that show. I think Tyler Campbell was there as well. Nice. Leslie, Leslie Taylor, let me get the right question. Sorry, I'm just going to catch up here.

Oh yeah, Sun City, she points out, was played on Toronto Mic as a protest jam when we kicked out protest jams. And that makes sense. It's one of the best actually and that she listened to Indy eighty eight for the very first time in her life today because of Bob Willett. Nice, very nice. That's huge. Let's think about that. No, it's been very lucky. I had a lot of people in my in my in my world. If you will listen into the station for the first time today, it's very, uh, I don't want to use the today. It was, it's very, uh,

I don't want to use the word humbling, but it's just, it feels nice. You can't use that word. Humble Howard will sue you. It's true. Describe what's on your shirt starting with Rob and then we'll do, uh, well, let's just say it. I was just ready to Leslie because she asked and it's Frankenstein. It's like the Halloween. It's Boris Karloff. That's for Edgar Winter. That's right. The bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein and Boris Karloff is the mummy. Do I need to be the guy to tell you that's not Frankenstein? That Frankenstein is the dog.

It's the monster. It's Frankenstein's. Victor Frankenstein. This is the monster. Well, tell me about this Argos t-shirt. They won a big playoff game yesterday. They did win a big playoff game yesterday, the highest scoring game in CFL history. High scoring playoff game in CFL history.

It's like a basketball score. Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I went down there yesterday and tailgated and I couldn't yell because I was going on the air, so that was like a big challenge for me. Met I, you know, had a actually had a nice talk with Jamie Campbell. He's an FOTM right FOTM, Jamie, multiple times, yet ran into Jamie Campbell, talked to him, ran into Keith Pelly, the the MLSI guy, MLSI president, like he's a messiah, you jury's boss, he's Brendan Shanahan's

boss and I was wearing a stupid wig. I can show you guys a picture. I was really ridiculous looking and so Keith Pelly wanted his picture with me. That's cool. What's MLSI? Oh my goodness, can you believe sports and then maybe sports and entertainment and they only are ghosts. I only know TMDS. So Keith didn't buy that ticket is what I'm telling you. No, no, no, exactly. That's what I looked like yesterday. Oh my God. Wow. Okay. You look good. Now I just had a memory and we've talked about it before, but we'll

see it again. Do you remember the time, Bob? Will Ed? Of course you do, but I'll set it up that way. You and I together attended the Eastern Division. Well, I don't even know what they call them conferences, but they do. Oh, it's Eastern conference final. How many teams in that conference? Five, five. Okay. So we attended the Eastern conference. I thought it was like division. Okay. Eastern conference final division. I feel like it's not enough people, not on teams, but we were there and we got on TSN because the Argos had a big touchdown late to put us in the great cup, which we won that year if I remember correctly. Yes indeed the Toronto Argonauts did win and yeah it was a fun time. I don't know I'm just wearing a simple, this is actually Peace Collective,

they're designers that work with them. They don't need to pay any because that's a good, because you don't have a logo on that. No, but this is an actual official shirt even though it just says Argos this way, it actually is an official release that they did when I went to Dublin. I think Dublin came up earlier. You were the Galway. Is that right? When I went to Dublin, they had like, it's like a consumers distributing type store. I went in to buy an adapter actually, and it's called Argos, spelt like that. Oh, cool. And it was

like a popular chain. Dublin, Ireland, Dublin, Ireland. Yeah, Dublin, Ireland. So there's my, my Argos story. What is it? Eastern Conference or Eastern division playoffs, East semifinal? I don't know. I'm looking right now. You gotta go to the CFL.com. Okay. So in the meantime, do you mind if I play the song that is sampled? Yeah, do it. Okay. Here we go. Love this song. How do you know what I'm going to play? Oh, it's cause I screwed up playing it.

FOTM jam. Oh, it's just, cause I screwed up playing it. Oh, what? FOTM jam. Yeah, that's right. Back to life, back to reality. Another Simon. Back to life, back to reality. GP says, shadow to Jennifer Hedger, shitting on the unhoused. I know what that references.

Show me how beside what you want from me. Tell song. I do too. Simon Law wrote this. so yeah back to life, so to soul kind of pre just a few years before that that like the Marky Mark a CNC music factory that that era there that we were talking about just a little bit before that now obviously that beat underneath is so iconic. It's used in so many songs, but the song that I'm going to play the play that actually samples it. They actually credit this song so the specific version and please. I had the opportunity to see this band this summer for the first time and it was amazing. Okay, so we're going to play this song and then after you tell us about the

song, I'll blow everybody's so the band sample this amazing. Okay, so we're gonna play this song and then after you tell us about the song I'll blow everybody's head. So the band sampled this song. Yes. All right. You ready? Yeah. You'll hear it. In those days, my working days Came in from Jersey, not from Brooklyn Oh my love, was it all in vain We always wanted money, now the money's not the same In a quiet moment at the theater I could hear the train Deep inside the city your memory remains Mary Boone, Mary Boone I'm on the dark side of the road

Mary Boone, Mary Boone Well I hope you feel like loving someone soon I love this song too. I know this song. It's great. I think they open it. This is vampire weekend. It's so powerful live that when that comes in, when that that sample comes in live, it's awesome. So they've been around like almost fifteen years now. It was a big jam. Yeah. A punk cousins was years now. Yeah, Cousins was a big jam. Yeah, Apunk, Cousins was all there. Yeah. These guys are phenomenal live. I've seen them do a few songs live.

Holy, blew me away. We saw them at the Bud Stage. And I'm a fan. Like, I got a bunch of their stuff on vinyl. I got into them late. Like, I actually only got into them because their album, previous this one, this is their new album called Only God Was Above Us.

This is on the new album? Yes. Oh my God, that's cool. Yeah. And I knew I wanted to do, this was the first song that came to me. It was a non-hip hop or electronica song that would use a sample. Because it just, I love how it just, it comes back again here too. It lifts it up.

It's just like, it's got this, it's such a, yeah, it's funny you see lift it up because these vocals are so... And then all of a sudden... I like it very much. It's such a great song. My ears are happy. Yeah. Okay. Can I do my mindblown? Yeah, do it. Do it. I knew what it was when you said you had a mindblown. So out of nowhere, you know how it works, Rob? Because you send me an email, these are my jams, and I make

mp3s and load them up. And then Bob Willett, after you, he sent in his jams. I have to make sure there's no duplicates and all that. He sends me this song, Vampire Weekend. The song's called Mary Boone. I don't know this song exists. I listen to Mary Boone. The mind blow is my mom's name is Mary Boone. Oh my God. Yeah. Is that wild? How cool is that? The mind blow is my mom's name is Mary. Oh my God. How cool is that? I sent this song, I sent it to my brothers and I sent it to my mom and it's been listened to by the whole family. That's really cool. It's awesome. YYZ Gord loves watching Rob Proust listen closely to the song for the sample. Yeah.

And YYZ Gord, he enjoys his vampire weekend, but did not know this song. Yeah. It's off the new album. This is one of those bands I need to listen to. Every time I hear them, I'm like, they're so cool. I need to listen to more of them. You do. I have the exact same situation. I got to know them with the last album and obviously the old stuff that were the hits. Their whole catalog's great. Here's the trivia for only the real heads would get this trivia right. So maybe I should be saving it for FOTM cast cause that's when the real heads listen. But do you know the first song ever kicked out on pandemic Fridays, which is the

forefather of this very toast program. Is it a vampire weekend song? No, it's a standing outside a broken with money in my hand. Yes. By primitive radio gods, which has the exact same sample. Same sample. Oh, that's really cool. Shout out to Jeremy Hopkins and shout out to Midtown Gord, who just got home. Sorry he joined us late, but he's excited to hear. So Midtown Gord, these are non-hip hop songs that sample other songs. So we'll play the song sampled and then play the song.

Could do resetting for somebody. It's like a regular radio In the middle, I'll admit I'm I have a soft spot for Midtown Gourd. I don't know how to explain it It's just there. Okay soft spot for me. It's nice little man crush. It's okay. I didn't say it's a man crush I have a soft spot for him. Okay. I have a man crush on Rob Bruce Why doesn't say no? Did you know he was the keyboardist for the spoonsoons? Wait, when? During their heyday, their glory days. Your kids were singing romantic traffic in the pre-show. I loved that. You know what?

Because you know what happened? I don't know if somebody said you were stuck in romantic traffic. I sent you a message and said I was coming from the Goli arms and I think Jeremy said I was stuck in romantic traffic. And then I said, hey, and I played it and we had a big moment here. Everybody's very impressed that you co-wrote Romantic Traffic. OK.

Chantel Kravetsik was even in fact. You mean Chantel, right? Yeah, Chantel. Which you, you've never met her before. I never met her before. What do you think of her piano playing? I love it. She's a great piano.

No, she's super cool. And what was really cool in your, when you played that unreleased song that she had. Oh, the new one. Tori Amis song. And you said it's a little like Tori Amis. And she's like, funny you mention that, because my friend who I just gave it to is Tori Amis producer when I heard that this is a song that took a long time

Yeah, my wife was live is like well that took a long time I'm like yeah that happens sometimes she had to get the song to me to play it with brand new on her phone or whatever Right and she gets it to me and I play it and it's so Tori Amos so Tori Amos. Yeah, it was super cool But I think there's similarities like they're both sexy penis. Well, and she yeah yeah. And she comes from that world. I said, we're Bob, I did penis with an a with an a, um, but she comes from that era of like the early two thousands as well, where it was like, um, Tori Amos and it's almost yeah. The Lilith fair era. Like late Lillith under these rocks and stones. Her first album was 97.

97. 96. 96. OK. I just did the homework on this. Really? And 98's when she comes to Toronto. Yeah.

Because she's in Winnipeg till 98. And then that's when she's celebrating. But the timing was perfect for her. I had said actually when you said you were doing that, and Chantel liked my, I tweeted back saying that I saw her open for Amanda Marshall. Oh, wow. at the Molson Amp Theater and she so she opened. It was just her in a

yeah and a grand piano on me and the and it was one of the only times I've ever seen an opener get an encore cool. They like people wouldn't stop chairing that was she was so good. Oh my God. Yeah, she had to come back out. She was like I don't even have anything to play. This is not my song. I'm just playing a bit of this because I played it for Chantel. Bang, bang. No.

No. So I played this song for Chantel because this happens to be my favorite Chantel Krabiatchik song. Oh, is this, this is off of, this is Wayne, not Wayne. It is Wayne, yeah. It's a great song.

Okay, so I played it for them. I like to play artists my favorite song by them. Okay. I'll be the girl with the long blonde hair I like to play artists my favorite song by them. Okay. So I play it for her and I'm watching, you know, she's right there. And I'm looking at her and I can tell she's not like responding the way I thought she might because she's been singing along for songs Yeah, like karaoke stuff. That was so cool. She looks like I said, oh, this is my favorite song of yours And she says I don't like that song. I don't like that album. Oh my god. She doesn't she like it?

Did she say why? Yeah, like just she didn't like the product. She went to LA to record it and she was very young and she didn't have any pushback in her yet. And she said it was a bunch of dudes, she didn't feel like she had autonomy to do her thing. She far prefers the album that is celebrating 25 years this year, whatever the next one was. She doesn't have good feelings about the recording of this song it's a beautiful sound though she sounds older on this actually yeah even though she's the Benjamin Buttons of yeah exactly love this woman yeah yeah love amazing and I had a little advanced warning about her okay I won't name names or tell stories but I was already disappointed and I

was overwhelmed with how much I like her. Like I'm a big... You warmed her up. Well, we warmed each other up. Yeah, lots of stories. Don't tell Rain and don't tell Monica. Okay, I'm going to go to my song. I'm just going to let her do this. Fear me, God, get me Wayne, pray for me Cause I'll be there in a couple years until then Wait for me That's a good song.

One, two, three, four, five.

One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five. One, two, three, four, five.

One, two a song, but there was an album released and that track on that album is called Manual of Arms. Okay, so you heard it in your headphones and that was a like it's an album. Yeah. Okay. And that was a track Manual of Arms, I guess it's for like if you need a sound of like army guys doing something or other.

So can I play a song? I think everyone at this table loves this song you ready ready Don't follow me, don't follow me I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush Callin' me, don't callin' me I've got my spine, I've got my orange crush You're the agents of the free I've had my fun And now it's time to serve Your conscience overseas Coming in fast Over me 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, 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, oh, oh, oh, oh, So I'll bring it back, it's coming later, but that manual of arms is by a guy named

Jack Holdsman. H-O-L-Z-M-A-N, okay? This of course is Orange Crush by R.E.M. and this is from Green, their sixth studio album released in 1988. This was a big fucking song and I'll bet you Indie ADA plays this song. They play good shit like this. Great song. The video one, the VMA for best post-modern video. The first song to win in that category, which I think is fun fact.

So before I tell you what it's about, this is the part I'm going to turn up so you can listen to this. You ready, Rob? Bring it on! Ah, there it is. Wow. I don't remember this in the song. It's cool. They sampled that song. It's in there. I'll play the sample again in a moment. But what was that, Rob? You're not going to bury the lead on Jack Holtzman. I want, I'm saving it for you. Are you really? Please enlighten us.

Jack Holtzman was the founder of Electra Records. He's 93 years old. I did it because I know who he is. But I had to do that. I want to be accurate. He signed such acts as The Doors, Queen, Love, Tim Buckley, Carly Simon. He's your favorite band of all time.

Yeah. Harry Chapin and Bread and he discovered Judy Collins. But here's the thing. He was an executive producer for 13 stock sound effects libraries, which is where this comes from. Which is where this comes from. But he's the founder of Electra Records. Yeah.

So I will tell you the truth. I did not know that. Jack Holzman, yeah. But that's why we're a team. I love it. You pick me up when I fall. Yeah, we work in tandem. That's right. And I'm just here to... Do you know what the song's about? Bob's just here. Bob, do you know what the song is about? It's called Orange Crush. It's about pop. Do you think it's about the beverage? Yeah, yeah, exactly. No, no. I have to admit it. I know the song. I sing along with the song, but I don't... I can't say I've listened to the lyrics, intently. It's about agent orange with the military thing. It's in the Vietnam war. It's an anti-war song,

anti-Vietnam war song to be specific. I love that. Super cool. Yeah. And now that I've played it, now that you've all heard it, I'm just going to go back to it. Yeah. Just a second here. Manual of arms, Jack Holtzman. That's really cool. Founder of Electra Records. Yeah.

Helped get clean a record deal. Well, Queen only in the US. So they were already in England. Yeah. But he signed the doors. No Cleveland, no Bowie. That's right. No Holtzman.

Yeah. This isn't. No, hold on. This is having fun yet. Okay. It makes me think of Full Metal Jacket. For some reason, it sounds like that actor in Full Metal Jacket. And that guy was a consultant. He's a real drill sergeant. Wow. You little maggot. Okay. So fun fact that's going to tie into a future jam of mine. Okay. So just put this in your back pocket. You ready Nirvana's Kurt Cobain Has put the album green which includes this song orange crush on his list of 50 his 50 favorite albums of all-time list Okay, make sense. And here's a let me see. Did I even pull this thing here? Yeah, okay, you know this You're reaching deep inside you things you've never known We do more before 9am than most people do all day. All that you can be. Good morning. Find your future in the army. Love it. Okay, so that jingle, which we all kind of grew up hearing. Written by Barry Manilow. No, but you know who sings it?

It's Will Lee, the bass player from Letterman's band. Did you know that? Will Lee. Remember Will Lee on the David Letterman show with Paul Schaeffer? Yeah. Yeah, Will Lee, the bass player, the blonde Letterman show with Paul Schaeffer? Yeah, the world's most dangerous band. World's most dangerous band. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Will Lee, the bass player, the blonde guy. He was like a session singer. I don't know if that's the version,

but he sang Army commercials like that. Okay, you're blowing my mind today, right? You brought your A-game today. I appreciate it. Okay, Bob and I are sauce. Should always go to the goal where I'm first. We've been working all day, Bob and I. I know, yeah.

But Michael Stipe, when he would sing Orange Crush, when REM would perform Orange Crush in concert, he would sing Orange Crush, when REM would perform Orange Crush in concert, he would play the jingle, Be All That You Can Be, in the Army before he would sing it. It was a very anti-Vietnam, I think his dad was in Vietnam in the war, and it was a very anti-war, anti-Vietnam song about Agent Orange. Wow. Cool. Okay. Fun fact.

Yeah, that's a very fun fact. All right, Rob, any words before I kick out your second one? Well, all I would suggest is that you listen to it loud because it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I can do that. Yeah, okay. It's out of sight And the bass's building up on my walls There's a man outside In a long coat, gray gray has smoked in a cigarette The light fades out Now Rob, the only reason I know, I'm going to keep it up. You're the conductor. No, it's okay.

You keep. So I know who this is. I'm going to see if Bob knows who it is. But I know who it is because a song by this artist was played all the time when I was growing up. Like I heard it all over the place and it's the same damn voice. That's how I know it's him. Bob, do you know who this is? Murray head? No, it's a good guess. He was, uh, he was writing sports jams like one night in Bangkok. Yeah. No, I just thought that

or is this, uh, sticks? Nope. Nope. I don't know. Interesting. Really? Yeah. This voice too. And I hear this voice, I hear this voice telling me in cars, you're in my car. I feel safe. It's Gary Newman. OK. Gary Newman is a little bit older than Gary Oldman. That's right. Like within weeks. I know. It's so funny. I think the fun fact.

OK, so this is one of your favorite songs. Very cool. He was very much. I figure he was in the Rob Proust wheelhouse. He blew my mind when I was 14. So this song is from his, he had a band called Tubeway Army before he went actually officially solo. So it was always called, it started off as Tubeway Army and then it became Gary Newman in Tubeway Army and then it became Gary Newman. Not to be confused with Our Lady Pieces, one man army. Really? Okay. And Rain made us married to shout out to Chantel Krabiasek.

And this is for Bob. I'm looking at it because I know you haven't heard. I can tell you haven't heard yet and you should listen. I will. Without Pearl Jam, and this was brought up in the live chat by Tyler, but without Pearl Jam, there is no Chantel rain relationship. Really? Without Pearl Jam, it never happens. Wow. That's how they met. You haven't listened. I thought you forgot. They went to in 96. They went to Maple Leaf gardens together and they were beside each other and apparently love it for a site. 96 Pearl Jam. That was my first Pearl Jam show. Maybe we've heard this 98. So you were two years ahead of me. That was, that was a $25 for every seat in that place.

Wow, I remember that. Wow. The good old days. Crazy. One man army. Ha ha ha ha ha. Instead of Tubeway Army, which is what this is. Right, that's what it is.

That's what it is. That was my whole thing. That was the tangent. But I did want to come back to the Pearl Jam thing for both. That's right. The tangent. So this came out in 1979. Tubeway Army.

Shout out to smashing pumpkins. Yeah. Well, I know exactly. Cause 79 was a fricking good year. In my, the theory in my mind is that 79 is for myself personally. That's when everything shifted between the new wave was coming in and all the albums that were like sort of synthesizers were coming in and the new wave was happening. So this song came out in 79, Gary Newman's first hit in England, like blew everybody's mind. You a craft work guy? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah cuz like that like very much in that okay the story with Gary Newman was that he was making in his first album with his band it was like real punk and it was all guitars and then there was a little mini Moog synthesizer in the studio and he's like I wonder if we could use that

and he tried out he's like holy shit this thing has power so he went back and like rerecorded and added added a Moog to it all which sort of changed his whole trajectory. Yeah. Cause even a song like this, there's still guitars. Here's why I love this category more than anything we've done is that we hear these songs like this, which I'm not familiar with and I'm hearing it. My brain is racing through every song I know. Yeah. To see where it all goes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, and Gary Newman had a huge influence on so many people. So the song that this is sampled in is not one that you would expect. And I didn't actually know about it until I listened to Gary

Newman's reading his memoir. So Gary Newman influenced a lot of bands, but enough about Fear Factory. That's right. So kick it out if you want to kick out the song that it's sampled in. Do I want to do that? Here we go. There it is! Right off Donnie and Boris and wait for the chorus. Here it is. It's fucking cool in the headphones too. Better man, forget I deal with it I don't care what they say

I'm not about to pay nobody's way Cause it's all about the dark in me I wanna creep in the morning, creep in the evening I mean a rough neck, run it back and start a stormy Hold me if you are the kind of man It's all that kind of girl Got a freaky secret Everybody's saying cause we don't give a damn about it

I'll be a bitch like you said today When you took the door I'm breaking up all through the night Till I burn anymore Come on and I'll take you around the pit, run against the lead Cause weakening, any time would take, so good for me and we all hear the sample, I fucking love this category. But I'm laughing out loud, literally, because DPSHales says, because Chantelle and Rain Maider are coming over together. Yeah, they are.

What? Yeah, they are. Yeah. And he wants me to have Jeremy Taggart hiding behind the curtain to pounce when they come down, because Mike Bullard famously, infamously said, to pounce when they come down because Mike Bullard famously, infamously said, I invited him over and I had Cynthia Mulligan behind the curtain and she's gonna leap out and the cops were kind of come down and arrest him for violating conditions of his parole. So I like the whole callback, I like all of that. So VP keep it up. Midtown Board agrees with you Rob Proust. Yeah. 1979 is the year everything shifted for him as well.

Because that's the year he discovered Black Sabbath and became a metalhead. What are we listening to? We're listening to a band called Sugar Babes. Oh yeah. It's a girl group from England. Yeah. How come I don't know Sugar Babes?

I don't know. And I don't really know them either, except for the song now. You know them Bob, am I missing them? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This came out in 2002. And- I was alive in 2002. Yes you were alive. But they... so originally apparently this is... Recovering from 9-11 thank you very much. That's right. That's Tremor. This is a cover of a song by Adena Howard called Freak

Like Me which I don't know that song either but they... so this this there was a guy named Richard X made a bootleg mashup of free like me with friends electric and he decided To like is this the is this the mashup? This is the mashup. No cheating. Yeah, it is cheating. No, wait No, it's not mashup purposely takes an existing song and mashes it with another song. That's sample That's not a sample in a mashup. You just mashed up the two songs you have violated the rules Hang on. I was I just mashed up the two songs. You have to, you violated the rules. Did I violate the rules? Yeah. Hang on. I was, I was looking up the sugar babes.

I needed it. Then I'm going to get bobbed. Okay. Is this on an album? Yeah. Is on an album? Yeah. What album?

Which one? I don't know what it's called. What year was it from you said? 2002. Okay. So it's angels with dirty faces. Yes. So let's see a free, is it called freak like me? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The best number one single of 2002. That I bet you, I'm not sure, but does the original studio version that hit the charts? Yeah. A freak like me include the Gary Newman sample. Yes, it does. No, it does. No, the original. No, I don't think it does. I need a Howard. Oh, it's different. This one, Eugene Hayes, Mark. That's a mashup. George Clinton and Gary Newman are credited with the first with the song on the album. Are they?

Oh yeah, no, but I mean if- Rod is not very good at defending himself. If you look at Adina Howard's, it sounds like Adina Howard had released a song called Freak Like Me as well. So they put these two together and that's what this is. I don't know. I'm a little confused.

Okay, you know what, Rob, you weren't prepared. No, I'm prepared. You've known for how long we were gonna do Toast Today. No, it's because they use Gary Newman in this song. And so that's a sample in the song. So the cover, originally conceived by producer Richard X, right? And it's called Our Friends Are Electric

by Gary Newman and Two Way Army. In 2001, Richard X created a bootleg mashup of the originals of Freak Like Me and Our Friends Electric. But then this is a re-recorded, this is an original new version. Freak Like Me was released on April 22nd, 2002. But this was on the album. And this was the number one single in 2002. The number one single in 2002, did it include that Gary Newman sample?

Yeah. Then you're doing a great job, buddy. Well, I don't want to jump down a stroke because he said there was this was a matchup. Not a mashup. No, but they took another song. Like the melody was from another song and then they re recorded the whole thing. It's not, it's not a true matchup.

It's not like a girl talk mashup. No, no, no, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. It was number 45 on the list of a hundred. I know, but it's not a girl. Those are mashups. Right? Yeah. Okay. It was listed in Billboard as the number 45 on their list of 100 greatest girl group songs of all time. Must be UK. Billboard must be sugar babes. Okay. I'm just learning about them. So they've had through, they've had a bunch of different members along the way. They were put

together by someone who did all saints. Exactly. Oh, one of those groups manufactured, but anyways, I didn't even know about it until Gary Newman mentioned it because half of all saints are Canadian aren't they? Aren't they Canadian? British band but they have Canadians who came over they allow that yeah, they like it. We need a ruling on that Okay, so Rob, I apologize if I jumped I know that's okay. You made me think it was like a girl Talk, no, no, no, not anup. When you take the white album by the Beatles

and you get the black album. Yeah, yeah. And you smash them together and call it the gray album. You know, there's a band called the Kleptones and they did the queen mashup called the night of the hip hop. I a hundred percent was way into it. My God, it's cool.

Way into it. It's really cool. And Jay Z versus the Beatles. Have you heard that one? That's what we're, that's what he's talking about. Is that the one you mean? That was the gray album. Oh yeah, the gray album.

That's a half of a half of an Arles Barkley, um, right. Who produced that? Wow. Danger mouse danger mouse. Yeah. And we all, we all love the same shit here. Okay. That was great.

Now, Bob, will let any words before I kick out your second song? No, cause I can't remember what I did. Okay. It's been a long day. Ooh. Yeah. I love it. See, I'm listening to this.

Yeah. The song I'm not familiar with. And I can. That's cool. Bring it down for a moment, because there's some clarity in the live stream from Mark Weisblad of 1236 fame. He says, that song's a cover version of a mashup. So the original Ladina Howard does not include Gary Newman, but the mashup was covered by Sugar Babes. They re-recorded it. Well it was the same guy Richard X made it. I'm gonna allow it. You know why? Because you're a sweetheart. If Bob had done the

same thing I'd be so angry right now. It's true and rightfully so. So this is from 1980, a band called EU. EU. And this is called Knock About Sugar Ray. Wow. I don't know. We had Sugar Babes. Yeah. And on the live stream, we're shouting out Sugar Jones. all right, and on the live stream, we're shouting out sugar jones. Wow, oh sure, jones canadian. Yes, obviously, this would have been a sugar ray lennard talking about the boxer sugar ray lennard, not come out sugar ray good boxer. I don't really know much about it. It was kind of early hip hop kind of

this was also used by like dougie fresh and stuff like on the other. It was a big hip hop sample. What about no sugar tonight by the guess who it all comes back to Robert Lawson. So you mother nature, they were all two songs that that one did two songs mashed together. You can do your Queen. There you go mash up. I love it. And you want to hear the song. Yeah. Well, I mean this one, this one, I was a little really cool. Yeah, he's nervous. I actually played. I actually played this on in the eighty eight today. What

this is a classic. This song is a bonafide not that not that song. This song. Yeah, this is a bonafide class. Yeah love it, man. Odellay, right? Yeah. But now I'm trying to hear that sample in here. It's coming up. ["Odellay"] Fucking love this.

I fucking love this. We get together everywhere. Get fresh flow pulling out jobs and jamboree handouts to turn tables in a microphone Bottles and canes just clap your hands or just clap your hands Where is that? You're dancing on the wire because This song is back though hip hop element, right? For sure It is on the wire, but it's back. But it's back. So you're saying it counts because he's a white guy, Bob?

Is that what you're saying? No, I'm saying because it's an alternative song. It's like MC Connected, we talked about it earlier. Is that a hip hop song? No. Stereo MC? No, but I honestly thought Rob's first selection was a little bit on the line myself sound-wise. It was close too, I know. Yeah, because it's kind of dance like it's got more

of a dancy vibe to it. It's not a rock song. Yeah, but to me, it's the rock song. So apparently the sample appears at one twenty five in the road. It's actually just as a direct. It's the hook is like is used from the use of I hear it now. See, I did not know that's what song was being sam. I know you've educated me. So as soon as I we talked about this, uh, Beck was one of the first artists I thought of. Yeah, me too. That wasn't a hip hop artist. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What back? Okay. Let's is it fair to say this is his best album Odell? I would say so because my favorite album, Midnight Vultures, is that the

name of that? Very popular back album. Sure. But my favorite album. Midnight Vultures, is that the name of that? That's a very popular Beck album, sure. But my favorite Beck, the Beck I go to the most often is Melo Gold. Yeah, me too. There's the first one. That first thing you know. That was gonna be a topic of toast once. Really?

Yeah, remember we were gonna do it, having a great catalog of stuff, but you still love their first thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, we never got around to that one. That one got a little bit convoluted. Right. Tonight the city is full of war

and all the toilets are overflowing. Sales time high through the garbage pail sky. Pay no mind. Yeah. Bob, I love this song. Thanks for making me. This is on Otelay. Yeah, I, yeah.

That's a great album too. I did, I played it today on the NBA. The Devil's Haircut. Devil's Haircut, yeah. Very cool sound. I played it today on the devil's haircut. Devil's haircut. Yeah, very cool. Both staples of the 88 playing. I saw him last summer at Madison Square Garden with Phoenix double bill.

Oh, yes. And then they played the Olympics. Yeah, killer show. That's right. That would have been amazing. So that was my back was one of the first artists that came to mind for me. And I just had to do some Googling to be honest, cause you know,

but it's interesting when you hear the sample, I like it, it's only environment and then you try to hear it in this environment. You realize how creative it is to take it and reconfigure it. It's just in Bex Odele, very creative. Okay. I'm rolling right into mine. You ready guys? Go.

Can I use the watch? Oh, hello. Holly's one of my favorite songs of all time. It's from A Good Year, too, Mike. Remember on Naked Gun when the lady got killed by the blimp and he goes, good year? The worst. If I could make a wish.

And I agree, Rob, this is a great song. Came out in 74. So did I. I heard. That's this is a great song. Came out in 74. So did I. I heard. That's what your mom told me. Mary Boone. Anything I need. No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound

Now I'm in no bus, no need making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm and tight play. It's a long P for Bob. Yeah. It's a lot of pieces. I kind of want to ask him to guess before I play the next song. They don't let you take a walk through, wash your breaks on any of these. No. I don't know if there's a bathroom down the hall there I heard.

I've been there for a tour. Yep. Lana Gay was scared to see me. So would you hear this at 1150? Oh yeah. Summer of 74. Okay, Bob is putting on his headphones. Bob, I want you to listen to this and tell me if you can guess. Okay, Bob is putting on his headphones. Bob, I want you to listen to this and tell me if you can guess. What, this sampled? Like what, soft samples it? It's one of our jams. Oh really?

That's code for uh, 10x All Rock. You ready? Oh, yeah. Ah, jeez, that's a bad kid. Well, earlier it was bang on. But here we go. You ready, guys? It's funny, I thought that was the the G and R live and let die for a second. Yeah, right. Is what that sounded like.

That section. Yeah, but there's a good cover I played fake plastic trees today on the indie you mean the robot played it and you said this is well I played it it's a great song it's great so such a good song do you know the story about that song that they were inspired Tom York was inspired after seeing Jeff Buckley play for the first time went back home and like one to write something for his falsetto voice. I'm the only guy who prefers older radio hits to the newer radio. No, I'm the same way. I like it in EOTech.

Kid A is a bonnet for me. I tapped out after OK Computer. I like Kid A. Kid A's got a national anthem on Kid A. It's amazing. You know the story. I'm sure you're going to tell the story of what the song, how it came to be. Wait, here comes the guitar. Yeah, thanks for coming. Here it is. Yeah.

But then... What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here Don't care for me I wanna have a song I wanna be by your side What a perfect song But I have a I have a judge's calling on this song. Oh It's not hip-hop I Don't think there's a sample in this. I don't think there's an actual Holly sample in this song I think that they use the court changes, but they didn't actually sample it. Oh Let's talk let's talk about a lot of things like that where okay

Because more than sounds like, but okay. Yeah, no. They had to give it credit for it, but I don't believe that there's anything actually from the song other than just the chord changes. Oh no, they're recreating. Oh, that's not a sample. That's not a sample. I am fucking out of here.

All right, so let's get the nuts and bolts out of the way. The air that I breathe is Albert Hammond and Mike Hazelwood. Yeah, do you know who Albert Hammond's son is? His son is in The Strokes, which I think is cool. Strokes are a great fucking band. Yeah, love The Strokes. So Albert wrote the song. Meet me in the bathroom, guys.

So Albert and Mike write a song, The Air That I Breathe. 1972. Yep. Okay. They are credited, Hammond and Hazelwood are credited as co-writers of Creep by Radiohead because of elements of the air that I breathe making their way into this song, Creep, which was recorded at the suggestion of the producers Sean Slade and Paul Q. Coldary. Now, this is the very first single ever released by English rock band Radiohead. Sorry pal, this is not a sample. No. It's on Pablo

Honey. He's ignoring us. And that is not a sample. Fun fact. Fun fact. That's a really good impression. Thank you. So fact. That's a really good impression. Thank you. So by your, so because they took, they took the chord progression and they mimicked from the air that I breathe. You're saying because they didn't just pop in what was recorded by the Hollys.

It's called, then my next jam's not a sample either. Why? But Creep. Because we could have done Tom Petty and we're gonna have Chili Peppers then. No, that's different. No, it's not. Yes it is.

No. Not at all. Those are two different songs that sound alike. So is this., yeah, it's more of a sound like that same thing Yeah, Hammond and Hazelwood are co-writers of the song. Okay, Helen so I creep and they admit it they don't deny this No, that's right. They say hey we took elements of the air that I breathe So it's rolling stones and Katie Lang. Is that a like is like as anybody see my baby in constant craving? Asko asked Keith Richards if he was copying. No, but she she has a credit.

She has a writing credit on it. That's different. That's like we're going to sue you. Exactly what you're saying. No, because they admit that they did copy the air that I breathe. OK, so that's the next one. We'll get to that in a minute when we get to the next one, which will all tie together with the first jam and green. OK, so this is the most successful his single in the history of Radiohead.

The one of the greatest debut singles and one of the greatest songs of all time and a little song, not a great mind blow, but I think it's fun for us. Our Radiohead heads is this, let it brew. It's worth it. Enjoy your Great Lakes beer, everybody. Love it. I'm not even gonna read the comments that live.channel make right now. Let me know when it's over. Really? Oh really? I gotta go.

I'm saying, okay. I'm not reading them. So, Tom York, singer of Radiohead, remixed the song, added some synthesizers, time stretched the acoustic guitar, and released it into the world, the universe in 2021. That's really cool. And it's fucking cool. Yeah. We were all in a pandemic. We needed this.

The whole semantics, if I can come back, because obviously this is controversial. You hear reproduction of the chord progression of the air that I breathe by the Hollies inside of creep. Yeah. They didn't drop in the Hollies. No. They recreated it. You mean they didn't add a sample? Okay. It's not a sample. It's just not. You're wrong. I'm sorry, it's not a sample! So when I kick out my third jam It's in the same mood, shop, spa... This is Radiohead knowingly copying the Hollies. You know what it's a little bit like?

It's like Robin Thicke getting sued by the estate of Martin Gay. What you're talking about is lawsuit jams. No, we're just talking about songs that sound like other songs, which is exactly what this is. Because if Robin Thicke will never admit that there is no... That's not the same thing. First of all, that's a mood that was copied. That's true, that's true.

That's a bad example. Bad example. But similarly, it would be if they used those chords and didn't go into California. How was this? George Harrison. Let's do George Harrison. My Sweet Lord. My Sweet Lord. Yeah.

Okay. He's still fine by the chiffons. Yeah. He got in court, they said it was some conscious whatever, whatever. Yeah. But he denies that he just copied this. Right. He denies it, so it's a lawsuit jam or whatever. Radiohead says, oh no, we lifted a piece of the air that I breathe from the Hollies.

Yeah. If you listen to Creep, you can hear it exactly the same, but it is recreated. But it's not simple. So you're saying the recreation makes it ineligible. Yeah. Well, go fuck yourself, Rob, Bruce. No, you're like... And you too, Bob, will let.

You know what? I know it's hard to be wrong, but you know what? Good for you for admitting. But now... I'm good at being wrong. No one's better at being wrong than I am. I like this version a lot. It's very bizarre. It's a synthesizer, right? Yeah. Synth bass. Like this part. It's very Gary Newman style. Yeah, yeah. It really is. Bob, don't encourage the livestream. They're very mean to me right now and I'm very, very

sad. Wow. Anyway, this is fucking trippy and this is cool. But there's no sample on this either. Someone Google the definition of sample. Well, the sample is taking a song, an existing song. Google it for me. Just go find it with Dictionary.com. I am willing to eat this one.

You know. A small part or quantity intended to show what the whole is like is one noun. So one version of the noun. But in the musical context, an existing piece music, repurposed for a new song. That's a sample. Well, usually it's a repurposed recording. Sampling is, in essence, when you include an element of a pre-existing recording by someone else in your composition.

Yeah. Creep is a fucking sample. No, it's not. Thank you, Bob. No. Are you fucking listening? I feel like, can we acknowledge there's another guy in the fucking room?

Put him on the mic and he's a look sampling is when you include an element of a pre-existing Yes, shut the front door It has to be a pre-existing recordings Recording right pretty sweet elements of a pre-existing recording. The pre-existing only because I'm telling you, just hear me out. Okay. The Holley's air that I breathe is a pre-existing recording. They took an element from that. The chords and used it. Sampling in music involves taking a selection of audio from another source. Oh, audio. Right. That definition is different than the element. So that's that's from is there anyone in the live stream who has my back on this?

Nobody does your role 101 here. OK, OK, OK. Well, I'm going to move on because I got a flower jams because the next one's going to be worse. OK, so Bob, actually, no, sorry, Rob. Yeah. How come your names are so similar? It's almost the same. Oh, they're Roberts. Yeah, we're both Roberts. That's why Jarvis wants to know which one is Bob.

That's right. I want to know which one is Bob. That's right. I want to know which one's Bob too. I'm fucking tripping out with my beer. I'm loving this fucking remix by Tom York. I am too. I got to play some Radiohead Tweet on my bro. This was released in 2021. You said? Yeah, that is really good for a shroom trip. Yes. I had shroom soup. I'm going to dedicate this to Canada. Kev, yeah., yeah. Oh shroom soup. I mean you know mushrooms. Galway is referenced in my favorite Christmas song of all time, Fairy Tale of New York. Oh yeah of course. It's in Ireland. Galway Girl is a very popular Irish song but it's not written by an Irishman. Didn't know that. Nope. It's written by Steve Earl. I love Steve Earl. I love it when you got the great Christmas

song and you find out a proud Jewish man. That's right. Most of them. Most of the good ones. Okay. You ready, Rob? Are there any words before your first, your final jam? Is this coming to the close here? This Thom Yorke? Well, you want to let it ride out? Yeah. It's my show. It's your show. I'm going to hug my toast up. Hug your toast! Wow. This sounds like, um... Yodzi there, um... Yeah! Sigur Rasmussen.

Sigur Rasmussen. Sounds totally like Sigur Rasmussen. Sounds totally like Sigur Rasmussen. I feel high right now, man. What's in this Great Lakes beer? Magic. That's really cool. Is that a little vinyl pop happening? I don't know what that is.

It's coming from the Farago media player here. Well it could also be. Oh I thought it was a go. But as he slows it down, you get artifacts, like digital artifacts coming in for sure. I think it's more my software. Really? Okay. It's my mashup.

I remixed it. I remixed the remix. Okay, let Tom take this home and then we're gonna go right into it. Rob Pruce. I'll take the L just so people don't think I can't admit I'm wrong. But I'm gonna be wrong again so buckle up. Buckle me in on the highway to sin. That's just the way that I wanna be. Love that song. Ooh, wow. Fucking kidding me right now. Is this real life? Is this reality? Is this heaven?

Is this Iowa? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide. Tower landslide. Okay. Rolling out. This is fucking great. Oh, wow. If you listen to this podcast at like 2.5 times or something, this is gonna sound like-

This is gonna sound great, yeah. I listened to you and Jeremy Hopkins at 1.25. You sounded exactly the same. It was so weird. I loved it Shout out to J-ho who's on the live stream right now. 10 haunted Toronto place. It was great. Amazing Some beautiful noise right there. I am the God of Hellfire and I bring you fire. I'll take you to burn. Fire.

Oh no, oh no, oh no. You're gonna burn. Fire to destroy all you've done. Fire to end all you've been. Rob Proust. Yeah. It's amazing you existed earlier this year. No way. Because he died. Arthur Brown? Really? Because I always learn about shit when people die. Right, right, right. Well, this is when he was alive in 1968. Thank God he didn't record it after he died. It would

have been weird, right? I know. It would have been spooky. It wouldn't have sounded the same right? That would be trippy. This is the crazy world of Arthur Brown. I am the god of hellfire! Guess who produced this? I didn't know this actually until I was doing a little research. It was produced by Pete Townsend. Wow. Bizarre. And Kit Lambert who's the manager of the Who, they did it together. So strange. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. So you're ready for the song that sampled this song? Yeah. This was number one. Not yet. This was number one in the UK and Canada and number two in the US. Hold your fire. Yeah. Hold your fire. I just think it's a super cool, weird song. There's no bass and no guitar on the song. It's all organ. And then the... See, I can't imagine why you like it then. I know. I didn't really think about it until I really

like read that. And then they went back and added some orchestral stuff to it as well. Like there's horns and stuff. Cool. But it's really cool. Hold your fire. What's the name of this song? Fire. Thank you. I acknowledge that. That crazy laugh. Wait, turn it up. There's the horns. Let me stand next to your fire. Fire. I take it to learn. Fire. I take it to better.

The big bully trying to stick a finger in my chest trying to tell me A very non-Piece jam, right? Yeah, this is like way out of character for you. I love it. What is this? Marilyn Manson. What album? After School Special. No, Portrait of an American Family. Wow. Yep 1994. Nice. Lunchbox it's called. Nice.

I love it. And to think he was just a lowly actor on Mr. Belvedere. Yeah. No, wasn't he Paul on Wonder Years? I heard the Mr. Belvedere one. Oh, I heard it. He was Paul. Oh, maybe they're both out there. Yeah.

He was, he was Kevin, Kevin's friend maybe they're both out there. Yeah, he was he was a Kevin Kevin's friend. Yeah, yeah, Winnie Cooper is really smart. Yes. Yes This is cool. Now. Did you know this? It's before I knew the song I didn't know the sample history, right, but I loved the barrel and that's a song before Yeah, I like smell right. I know no no I saw I loved the Maryland Nets. You knew this song before. Yeah, yeah. It doesn't smell right.

I know. No, no, no. I saw Maryland Nets. Do you believe them? Oh, I'm listening. I loved Faith No More in like 92. Okay, epic. Yeah, yeah.

And Angel Dust, whatever that album was called. And like this kind of heavy stuff sort of reminded me. Like, I mean, I was doing musicals at that time in the 90s, but this kind of heavy stuff reminded me. But this wasn't on much, I mean, you were an MTV guy, I guess, at the time, right? No, no, I was. Okay, reminded me. I mean you were an MTV guy. No, no, no, no, but I just don't like the drugs, but the drugs like me that was a much music channel. That was like years later that's a mechanical animals. Sweet dreams was before this. Yeah, that was a big hit.

No, this is their second album or like the first album. No, it's their second technically. It was their first album, Yes. First full length album. This British music Metal Hammer magazine called this one of the best heavy metal songs of the 90s. Okay, shout out to Midtown Gord. Right? He's probably loving it right now. My God, I love it. Lunchbox. Very cool song. And the B-side, so it brings it back to my first, my second song, Lunchbox. The B-side was a cover of a Gary Newman song. This was produced by Trent Reznor as well, who also does Gary Neumann covers. Okay, Trent Reznor does a lot of movie scores now, as you know, but he watched a movie last

night with Monica. A tennis movie, pretty sexy actually. Zendaya's in this thing, it's called Challengers. And the music is those two guys, Atticus Finch. No, Atticus Ross. Atticus Finch is the lawyer in... It's not completely right. To kill a mockingbird, yes. And of course, Trent Reznor. All right, so yeah, Sweet Dreams was followed up on the... Sweet Dreams was on an EP, actually.

Wasn't on this, yeah. But a great cover, actually. But I just love the fact that he uses the Arthur Brown fire thing. You gonna play the Phoenix? What's that? You gonna play the Sweet Dreams cover on the Phoenix? I would not in the parlor because I'm doing retro. What day? Is there tickets available? available tickets are sold out. You got

to get it at the door. Why do I refuse to come back on trying to make to promote this event? I have no idea. That's right. Yeah, I do. Of course, I know that story. I was involved in it. I don't know. Warmer was the guy talking. Yeah. Yeah. No, I know the whole thing. I have no idea why and I was doing sure my favor. I have no idea. He came on my podcast and I ended up with Bob Oleda instead. That's right. Couldn't ask for better. What are you gonna do? Are you build as DJ? Are you bill Bingo Bob? Are you eat? They got, they got me as Bingo Bob, but I yeah,

Martin 88 Martin. No, no, this is at the Phoenix story. Martin would have called me RQ EQ. Yeah, I was RQ EQ. Don't you have to say in how you're billed? Like wouldn't you rather be billed as that doesn't matter to me. More people know me as Bingle Bob than RQ EQ. I have to explain the RQ EQ thing. If I say Bingle Bob, people know. Can we make merch with those names? You got to sell a t-shirt. Absolutely. Listen to the end. Turn it up for a second. These digital artifacts. The track features.

I just think it's got these weird digital high frequency things. I learned something about Rob Proust today that he did a rock out with the best. He's a midtown Gordon wannabe. I am. I mean, I got a heavy metal heart. Yeah. Well, we've talked a little bit. You have some gaps that I would love for you to get into. Well, getting into Tool, even some of Def Tones.

I got into Tool throughout the artist Alex Gray actually, because he did all their covers and stuff, and I was learning, and I did some workshop kind of things with Alex Gray and Simon Speaking and stuff, and then I was like, oh, he does art for Tool, that's kind of cool, so I want to know, that rhymes. He does art for Tool, that's kind of cool. So I wanted to know more about their music,

but it came through the avenue of the artist. But I think it's because of my love of Queen when I was a kid. And I loved music. They have such heavy stuff too. Yeah, I loved music with no keyboards. And then I would hear Freddie's piano mixed in with the guitars.

But I have a heavy metal heart somewhere. You're like Pat Boone. I know we kicked out Mary Boone earlier today, okay? Mary Boone. Pat Boone did that heavy metal album, you remember this? Yes he did. Heavy metal frame of mind. But it Yes, he did. I have a frame of mind, but it wasn't very heavy. I mean, it was, it was a bit of a joke. It was a bit of a joke. It was like, it was like the

SCTV thing where they do pretty poor leather and he had fake tattoos. Right. It's a joke. The whole thing. It's a joke. Are you calling me a joke or a shoot? Is that a worker shoot? Yeah, I think that was a work. Okay. Bob Willett, a bingo Bob. He's going to be at the Phoenix. You can see him at the parlor. What time do you start? It's like probably nine 30 or 10. I'm only doing an hour. Okay. That's perfect for the gen Xers. You need to be about by 11. Yep.

Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. I'll be playing. Actually, I'll probably be playing the song I'm about to play. I'll be one of the songs I'd play. I can't this song that's sampled. I love so much. So I'm going to kick it. So this is something I would definitely play. Okay. In the parlor. I love this song. It was kicked out by Colleen Rush home. That's one of her jams. And now we know it for a bank commercial. Yeah, it's in a commercial. Right. It's all over the place now. Yeah. Which is weird. So I don't understand it.

Yeah. Cause yeah, cause you'll explain the themes are very serious. But God, it's a good song. It's a wonderful song. It's a good beat. It's a wonderful song, actually. Can you hit that note, Rob? Maybe. I can hit this drum. Nice. Sorry. Imagine trying to hit that note.

As a mere mortal. You'd hurt yourself. Again, it sounds like the only way he sings. See, this is a Prussian jam. Not Marilyn Manson. You guys got your jam sticks. Is there any, uh, there's only synth in this, like a drum machine. Yeah, drum machine, yep. That's it.

I don't think there's any guitar. This is a great song. Is the livestream safe for me to return? I'm scared of it. No, I'm just shitting all over you there. Just saying take the L, bud. I took the L. Yeah, I know. Do that on the mic. I'll wait till it comes back.

I just figured it out. Are you playing it on a little... Oh, oh, cool. How are they going to bill you on Indie 88? Just Bob right now. I'm just saying Bob Bob. Let's sometimes we notice. We notice I don't I've I've I explained that I was bingo Bob, but I'm not going to go with Bingo Bob. No, why not be Bob Willett? I might, but I'm the only Bob there. So why not Bob Willett actually is not that easy

to say, to be honest, when you're back selling a song or whatever Willette actually is not that easy to say, to be honest, when you're back selling a song or whatever. Bronski Beat in the 88, Bob Willette with you. It says, it doesn't, it doesn't... Bob Willette, you listen to great music. That's right. Bronski Bob. Bronski Bob. Yeah, that's who it should be. All right. And who wears to say, you already want me to kick out the...

Well, so now we're going to be actually... This song that... There you go. So that's Rob Live, everybody. That's Rob playing off his phone. That's so cool. That's amazing. Yeah. He's got a little... I'll take requests. Yeah. There you go. So this artist I'm about to play, it's not the first time I've played this artist on toast and you won't. The sample comes in, you'll hear it when it comes. It's quite

quite evident. This was a single. It wasn't a very successful single. All right, here we go. Second time you've gone to this artist. Yes. Speaking of controversy. Not without controversy though. When your time runs out When you're out of love I'll be what you're looking for Even if it's not who I am When you're out of love

I'll be what you're looking for. Even if it's not who I am. I can change. Yeah, there you go. There it is. Hiding in plain sight. I can change. Oh, it gets worse.

I can change for you. It's pretty good song, actually. I can bend, I can break, I can shift, I can shake, blaze a trail through the dry rain. If this same song. I can change for you. I can change for you. Wow. If it's released, if it's released as a killer song. Is it a bigger hit?

So yeah, so I think so this is obviously Brandon Flowers of The Killers. Pardon me. There you go. Working too hard. It's up a tone from the original. Yes. Oh, it's great. They've, yeah, yeah, yeah, they pitched it up. They learned that from Kanye. I will use, yeah, exactly. I'll use this as an example. So I did I haven't interviewed Brandon Flowers, but I did interview and Roland from collective soul and he has a soul had a solo album at the time and I asked him. I said, how do you know it's an Ed Roland song or versus a collective soul song? And he said to me the band tells me he's like

they like it or not. Yeah, yeah, they're like no that's ours that is so because he does all the right. He writes almost everything for them. So in this case, I think this I don't know if I ever heard like obviously this is his iconic voice. I think I think it's Brendan flowers voice, but I don't know. I can't hear the killers doing this. You know he's Mormon. Yes, I do and flowers voice, but I don't know. I can't hear the killers doing this. You know he's Mormon. Yes, I do that's nothing to do with what we're talking about. I'm back about him. I

don't know if that's a fun fact. It's a fact fact yeah. So yeah, so this was actually the fourth single off of the album called the desired effect that album went four singles deep. But nobody played them. We call it the fourth single. Every song would be a single of nobody. Exactly. It was released in 2015. It's a really good album.

He's had two solo albums. Okay, then I have a question for you. Lonely Town was the one before. What constitutes a single in 2024? Like what basically separates a single from just an album track in twenty twenty four? Well, I think things are still serviced to radio stations and to streamers. Singles are so you're going to pitch if you're universal. He's still going in the eighty eight and say you got to play the new single. Yeah. Really? Yeah. And so music. Yeah. And so and they're all they have a whole division now to go to Apple music and go to

Amazon music and go to Spotify to get on those playlists. To get on the Discover Weekly, to get on that's not your algorithm there guys. As a listener, it does, I do notice that what the trend is, is that somebody will release just a single, like to Spotify. Oh, before a whole album. Yeah. They'll say, here's my, here's the single and then you can stream one song. And then maybe a month later, they'll do a whole album. Well, that's right. I mean you would do that. It's always it's always say it's essentially the same thing, but even now yeah, there's like so take chapel rome for instance, right who's huge right now. Yeah,

she debuted a new song on SNL last night. Yeah, you said that you play you talk about that. Yeah, so but the funny thing is she still has there's a still a marketing team behind her going to the radio station like going to clear channel down in the states and going to you know serious and going to Bell here and going to but going to Spotify and saying can you yes we want you to take the whole album and obviously streaming people want it but you act there is still a whole marketing machine about getting the single, getting the most, you know, a billion streams and all that.

Yeah. Yeah. Very interesting. Okay. Any predictions about Tuesday night before I kick out my final jam? What's happening on Tuesday? Did you vote already? I can't vote.

Why? I'm, I'm not dual. No, I have a green card. He's not Michael J. Fox. I am Canadian. Oh, I'm Canadian in New York. Oh, and I can about it and I can Paul Myers voted. I heard that I saw that Well, he's yeah, he's yeah, he's dual citizen. I'm not No interest, of course, California. Oh, I'm very interested

Oh, yeah, but but I think that it's I'm I'm really excited about are you a migrant? Are you a migrant worker? I'm like if I got deported that would not be so bad to me because I'm like, I'll go back to Canada. No problem. What does your wife say about that? If I got deported? Well, she came with me. It'd be cool.

Yeah. But I'm excited for it to just be finally happening because like just get the bullshit over with, you know, like the children of America who are like, there's a good portion of the country that's challenged reality. That's for sure. You know what I mean? Well, and the bubble that a lot of people live in, in all extremes of the country,

are gonna get wake up calls to the reality of whatever's gonna happen. And it's gonna be fascinating, like to see what happens. Fascinating to see what happens. What's your prediction on the results? I don't really have a prediction, because I think that Trump is going to deny whatever happens, unless he, unless happens unless he unless that's for sure

It's an easy prediction because unless he's a clear winner, which I don't think he's gonna be if Kamala wins in a landslide Which I would love I think that he's still gonna fight it and he's still our lands and he's got losers Placed around the country to start lawsuits But the good thing is that all the same people are are prepared for it They know what to watch out for and and because he tried the good thing is that all the same people are, are prepared for it. They know what to watch out for. And, and because he tried the same thing in 2020. So when he comes back around, they're going to be like, fuck that shit, you know, and we'll see what happens. I'm looking forward to it.

What do you, uh, what are your feelings about Tuesday night? My feelings are that my wife will not come down and watch the TV. She refuses. She refuses. I don't want to watch. If that man is on this TV screen, she's out. No, I actually have a similar response to him. His voice is face where I will just tap out of the news when I see him on. Yeah. Yeah. He's a child. It's exhausting. And it's, yeah, it's exhausting. The worst part for me is like I said, I talked about it today on my show was like, it used to be, you know, the American American politics always permeate

so much of our world with good reason But what would happen is once the election was done it would it would fizzle away. Yeah, it doesn't do that anymore It hasn't done that since 37 or whatever. They call them her you know, I know Unfortunately politics infects the life of so many people to a degree that they don't realize how much of their life They're wasting by caring that much about it. What's Bob's, uh, what's indie 88 Bob's prediction as to what will be the result of this election in the 88 Bob did not make a prediction today. And I won't, I except for, okay, what about, uh, I can't,

I won't Bob Bing bingo Bob. No, I won't make a prediction. I don't, I'm not that guy. I don't make a prediction. You make a prediction. I'm doing it right now and then I'm going to play my jams. Okay. Yeah. I think this is how many, how many, how many electoral seats will you win or get? Well, I don't have a number for you. I can't remember what you need to win, but I can tell you, we will go to bed Tuesday night with a convincing victory for the democratic party. That's a prediction. I hope you're right. I hope you're right too. But my prediction, I think they'll come out differently than when Hillary ran. I think they'll come out. I think so too.

Americans will come out and it'll be a convincing win for Kamala Harris on Tuesday night. A prediction and again, recorded. You can pull this clip. The next host, I was wrong many times in that episode. The good thing with the prediction is that you know that there's still going to be like mud to wade through because of the losing people. clip. Yeah. Next toast. I was playing. I was wrong many times in that episode. The good thing with the prediction is that you know that there's still going to be like, like mud to wade through because of the losing of course, you know what I mean? And that's going to go on. But this time he, they can't pull it away, pull it over the same way they

did last time. So this brings it to a nice place. I thought so. You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Okay, I have so many things to say about this song. So this is the version by The Young Bloods. It's called Let's Get Together, 1967. It's not a Youngblood song though. This song is actually originally written and recorded by Chet Powers under the stage name Dino Valentin. Valent?

Dino Valenti. I feel like we've talked about this song maybe. I don't know. Maybe I have done this before. So that was 1963. Okay. But that version doesn't get released until 96. It's very confusing. I don't know. Maybe I have done this before. So that was 1963, okay? But that version doesn't get released till 96.

It's very confusing. So you don't actually get to hear the Chet Powers version till 1996. But he wrote it and recorded it in 1963, okay? The first version you would have heard was the Kingston Trio in 1964. It was released on their album Back in Time. This is the most popular, the most notable recording, The Young Bloods. And this is their debut

album which is called, appropriately enough, The Young Bloods. And this was kind of a minor Hot 100 hit for them. It only reached number 62, even though we hear it all the time now. So, let's get together, which also was known at some points as get together, and sometimes it's called everybody get together. What song, Bob, would I play? And again, this word sample is going to get me in trouble again. Okay. I'm using it differently than you and Rob. You're using it again. Okay. I'm using it differently than you and Rob. You're using it incorrectly. Yeah. I'm using it differently. Yeah. It's a pretty good alternate fact.

Oh, nice. I was like, yeah. Number 45. Yeah. Shout out to number 45. Let me bring this down. Are you doing a let's stay together by Al Green? Smile on your brother, everybody get together Try to love one another right now But I fucking love this song Bob, let's go Great song I gotta do it again for Bob, okay? Gotta get away, okay Bob

Yep We're doing it again, cause you missed it I heard the first one Ready? I heard the first one. I heard the prelude. Prelude. Yeah.

Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now. Isn't it good? So good. When I was a minion, cultures were not opinions. I haven't listened to this album. I've returned this album a lot. Never mind. Do you like the whole- Yeah, the whole thing. Like I'll play the whole thing. I think we've kicked it out a lot too from this. Yeah. We

kicked out something in the way at some point. Yeah. I think we go to Nirvana often on toast. Well, you do. At least Bob, don't you go there? No. You went to Unplugged last time. I did. Yes. You do too. That was a mind blow though, I think. Okay. So what do you want to know? Okay. So this is their, go ahead. What were you gonna say? So not a sample, but they did sing a lyric from the song you mentioned. Right.

Yeah. Thank you. They sang a lyric off the top. Who do you think was singing that lyric? Who was mumbling their way through that line? Dave Grohl. That's a good guess, but not correct. I thought it was Kurt.

That's a good guess, but incorrect. I don't know. Is it the producer? Is it... It's Chris Nalva- Nalva- Nalva- Selig. So the third member of Nirvana, he kind of sings that in a garbled manner off the top.

And I have a quote from Kurt Cobain. He says, the song speaks of people who join together to be cool and try something new the ideal contrast to the macho man I'm portraying in territorial pissing we didn't mean to be offensive to the guy who wrote it the idea of being positive and causing change in society and the world was appropriated by media who turned it into something ridiculous, a caricature. So Nevermind is the second album by Nirvana, but the first release on a major label. And it's also the first, of course, the first Nirvana album to feature Dave Grohl on drums. This is Nevermind

we're referring to that was recorded in California and Wisconsin. Did you know that in May and June? Nineteen ninety one. Did you know that? Can I tell you a song I did almost kicked out but I couldn't find the original sample. Okay. And Jake Gold references this in the damn good the damn fine tragically hip documentary series on Prime. So, one of the great, and then we'll wrap up here because you're faithful, we wanna get more interviews with you, but Weak Kings is a wonderful, tragically hip song, and it opens with a loon.

And that loon was sampled from an album that Jay Gold picked up in like an airport or something, which had like bird sounds. But much like when you, the Nerva, sorry, the REM sample, which is the only true sample I ended up kicking out tonight, that you still can't just drop that in without compensating the owner of that recording. So they had to, I think they had to give some kind of credit or something. You guys didn't pick songs that I, because I sort of stayed away from some songs too, cause I was like, oh, you guys are probably

gonna already pick these songs. Like, Bittersweet Symphony. Well, Bittersweet Symphony is the one that I did everybody. And even Beck Loser, I found some interesting versions of Loser that I thought were cool. I mean, I got a lot of flack for what I call a sample. And I understand my alternate reality is probably incorrect.

But Bob Willett kicking out Beck, I think that song has too much hip hop element in it to be a non hip hop song Well, it depends if you like that too. Yeah. Well, that's the thing with loser It's not really hip hop because he straddles that line because the guitar sounds off so much guitar in it Hop ish. Yeah, which guitar in it? Yeah There's some guitar in it, but okay, so I do have a little bit of a mind blow before we say goodbye here today. Just a little Side of the road You're gonna fucking die Yeah Yeah Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Ah Fuck this world Yeah and fuck you too I'll bring it to your best friend

What you fucking gonna do when I come? I'm pretty cool. Okay, that's that's a happy little age. Okay. That's, that's Queen. That's from songs from the deaf. That's called a sick shooter. And the only reason I played it is because I'm a big fan of the Kurt Cobain yell in territorial pissing. It's like, it's one of my favorite rock yells is Kurt. Kurt's a great yeller anyway, as that final song from the unplugged in New York, where he just lets his vocal go on the the where did you sleep last night?

Amazing but one of the great I just want to say one of the other great yells if we ever did kick out great rock And roll yells is in my opinion is Josh homie for homie from the Queens of the Stone Age So right here from for the day. Yeah, so that's all that's going on there Bob You're back on the radio and we're fucking proud of you and excited to be listening to you on every shift you have. Thank you. And thanks to the FOTM who did some of them actually texted me in studio today. Yeah, it was very nice. So thank you very much.

And yeah, I'll still see you next weekend again. Yeah, next weekend again, still going to be doing my podcast. Amazing. Still going to be DJing, still going to be coming on here if I'm welcome. Yeah. If you're welcome. If I'm welcome. Well, welcome back to radio.

Radio is better off for having some Bob will let in Thank you. Thank you and Rob Bruce Excited that you might make an appearance at TML X 17 on November 30th Knowing that it's that weekend and I think we should talk about our next toast. Maybe we can arrange it around Do you remember Bob? I sent an email saying it's too bad. We can't marry toast to the TML X event Well, maybe this will happen though. Let's go. So it was my idea. Maybe we should do it at two at TML. Oh yeah. Let's do toast. You know what? I could be talked into that. If we kicked out holiday songs, then we'd have to have an

open mic where right people could come on and share maybe their favorite holiday song and maybe interact with us. Like we'd have to have people in a different kind of here. I would have this four mics that I can put into this board. So three and a bob is going to say I got an adapter. But OK, I want to use four mics. So three of us do in toast live at TML 17 with a fourth mic where we rotate other voices in throughout the entire three hour recording. Let's think about it. I would kick out holiday songs with you.

I would do that. That'd be fun. Bob, what do you think? I think so. It'll be not working anything. And it's December. We'll be getting in a holiday spirit anyways. And yeah.

Well, that's the idea, man. Yeah. And maybe we could get, well, I got some thoughts now. Yeah. Ty, the Christmas guy, and Brian Dunn will both be there. And they're the two biggest Christmas heads I know. Nice. And that.
